[00:00] gonna try VirtualBoxing it now [00:01] mark_: I used that but when I started having fun with different domains for different things (I know... I'm just having fun) it doesn't work [00:01] I've installed the Broadcom driver per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=914697, and it appears to work, but it names the wireless NIC "eth2" -- what's the proper way to rename it "wlan0" etc? Or do I need to set that as an option when loading the kernel module? [00:01] dcrosta: wlan0 is usual [00:02] Raenir, is a Directx game? [00:02] tryggvib : Silly question, but you made sure you put .html or .htm or .ph or whatever at the end of the url, localhost/special.html should have worked.. works here on my pages [00:02] ActionParsnip: right -- but the driver calls it "eth2" by default, it seems [00:02] flypp: yes [00:02] soy_el_dip, at last!!! [00:02] Raenir, forget VirtualBox [00:02] use Vista in a separated partition [00:03] mark_: no I didn't...

[00:33] dragon: no it's not [00:33] dragon: beta can still brake [00:34] Ddorda: default means it should be in there by default.. right? [00:34] sebsebseb: it can, but it's an extreme statement to say "IT WILL" [00:34] dragon: until its officially released its considered not ready so may break [00:34] dragon: yes, but it's in karmic, i want it in Jaunty...

I don't [00:37] dragon: and how it may give them a reason to clean install the whole of Ubuntu, because the Ext3 to Ext4 conversion may not be good enough. With the advantages of Ext4 being rather fast boot up and shut down, and very fast disk checking after the 23 or so boots.

[00:42] eddiebuntu, its the intel wifi chipset [00:42] in 9.04 I was able to use gnome-sound-properties to "listen" to a line-in daisychain i have from another computer. I would "test" the capture interface on my soundcard. it seems this package is no longer in 9.10. any ideas how i could accomplish the same thing without it? [00:42] eddiebuntu: thats the model of your wifi card.. (intel chipset) [00:42] tx for anwsering b-ungle no, it's behind the firewall [00:42] is it a good card? [00:42] it means you were smart and bought intel wireless [00:43] ActionParsnip: I got the impression that he is someone that thinks loads of people should be getting the beta (which they shoudn't), but doesn't really know what Karmic is about as such, because he wasn't sure what I was on about when mentiong Ext4? [00:43] Anyone know what happened to http://linux.via.com.tw/ ??? [00:43] jo_: what sort of firewall? do you have access to the config?

[00:46] bazhang, why am i only getting 5mbps on it then? [00:46] dro: if you run: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [00:46] ((((((( ActionParsnip ))))))) [00:46] dro: does it report as ok? [00:46] 5 MBps or 5Mbps? [00:46] ActionParsnip: yes I've done that and restarted. remember this happened today after i did a dist-upgrade on both laptops [00:46] ActionParsnip: yes [00:46] hi chalcedony :D [00:46] :)) [00:47] I know, to do it on the regular way, is there a port that has to be opened in the firewall? [00:47] dro: and does ifconfig show correct settings? [00:47] 5 MBps => 40 mbps [00:47] ActionParsnip: yes [00:47] normally firewalls are configured to let packets out, but not in. [00:48] mbps [00:48] 5 mbps max [00:48] dro: but connectivity doesnt work... [00:48] how should you set up, for example a webserver in this situation? If you had acces to the firewall?

[00:49] thus this endager the network? [00:49] scribawf: no 9.04 isn't intrepid that's 8.10, 9.04 is jauntey [00:49] or only the server?

[00:50] quit [00:50] ActionParsnip: I guess things aren't a proper upgrade untill the final, plus sometimes older releases are better for people, with Ubuntu it's about what is still suppourted, not what is the latest, but most users don't seem to reolize this [00:50] So, I've been having some problems with my hard disk usage.

[01:20] Cige: D'oh try: du -dx / | sort -n | tail -20 [01:20] If it's the root partition [01:20] sammy_, i think out of the box most linux distro's don't allow you to play DVD's because of the copyright stuff, i had to download a special decoder [01:20] RDove, nout to do with css stuff; linux thinks the disk is only a 1GB block device. mplayer etc. don't get further than that [01:21] Cige: But it looks like there is a lot of stuff in /.Trash-0/ as well...

I spun around in circles until I got the command. sure in almost all cases there is no need to do it, in my case there was [01:58] blip-, the 'secret' info you wanted is right @ the URL in the bot's reply.

[02:02] how to check for cpu usage in ubuntu? [02:02] carpediem: I will google with those words too. :) [02:02] shane2peru: don't really think so, I've tried setting "ignore" for those two, and they still show up.

[02:07] yep [02:07] firecrotch, i just went in the folder, and removed the source - its working fine now [02:08] thanks anyway :) [02:08] psptech, you could try downloading the alternate install cd but then you would have to install it [02:08] DigitalKiwi: is it just the color that makes htop better? or is it more indepth?

[03:00] doing a fresh install should i use Ext4 or Ext3? [03:01] via the dialog box [03:01] hey guys does any one know how to burn iso from command line [03:02] darksmac: wodim file.iso [03:02] so this is interesting, I installed xtightvnc viewer via synaptic package manager, do it not auto create a icon for xtight?

[03:15] fccf: Thank you for explaining. [03:15] hi guys. i want to help testing ubuntu 9.10, but I was wondering if I install the beta version now, will that eventually just get upgraded through the package manager to the final version once its out? i'm not sure how that works [03:16] boghob: please take your questions to the 9.10 channel = #ubuntu+1 [03:16] something to do with routing maybe? [03:16] thanks fccf [03:16] Ali_nz: sounds like DNS to me. [03:16] Ali_nz, thats out of my field [03:17] ciderpunx: umm, ok - any ideas how to fix? [03:17] Ali_nz: are you setting your IP address by hand or getting it through dhcp? [03:18] with regard to the VPN IP? It will be DHCP [03:18] and stting ny hand on your ubuntu box? [03:19] Ok whats that good graphical wifi scanner app? Its in the ubuntu repos .. [03:19] kismet? [03:19] ciderpunx: ? [03:19] when you're in windows you can do an ipconfig /all to find out what dns you're using [03:19] I guess that will resolve it to qnpy or whatever it was [03:20] so connect to vpn in windows and then see what ipconfig /all gives? [03:20] yeah, what it gives as the dnns [03:20] (don't use windows much) [03:21] you can set your dns in /etc/hosts [03:21] sorry /etc/resolv [03:21] .con [03:21] f [03:21] I dont recall Kismet being graphical [03:21] is there a way to copy some of the repos i've added to jaunty over to a fresh install of karmic without having to add them all manually? [03:22] copy /etc/apt/sources.list to a usb key and cat /path/to/usb >> /etc/apt/sources.list [03:23] jpbaa1: but you may want to replace all mentions of jaunty with karmic [03:23] so: [03:24] cat /path/to/usb | perl -nle 's/jaunty/karmic/g' >> /etc/apt/sources.list [03:24] ciderpunx: right, but is there a way to copy them over? [03:24] do that then aptitude update [03:25] sorry, must have a good bit of lag... [03:25] oh, you mean your cached files. you /could/ but I wouldn't [03:25] YMMMV [03:26] Does anyone know of a keylogger for Ubuntu? [03:26] ciderpunx: thanks. fairly new to linux. would you mind breaking down the commands in that line for me? [03:27] yeah [03:27] do this [03:27] sure: [03:27] rm -rf / [03:27] that gives you all the commands [03:27] Hello, Why I keep getting Ubuntu running in low graphics mode whenever I start it, and it works well after I restart?

[04:20] gyrlgeek: Yeah, but can you see the path to the so file? [04:20] hrm [04:20] yeah wine crashes; any idea on how to recover what the last command of wine says after it crashes?

[05:02] removed XP ... and installed Ubuntu [05:02] it takes forever to start up [05:02] rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007 [05:02] I am using ubuntu 9.04, when i am trying to open windows shares it prompts for a password, but there is no password for that shared folder [05:03] hola [05:03] khunter619, which version of ubuntu? ubuntu 9.04 has optimized startup time [05:03] the latest one [05:03] khunter619, how much ram do u have [05:03] khunter619: use ext4? [05:03] Hi all. I want to monitor a LAN to see which machine is hogging all the bandwidth. What software should I use? [05:03] khunter619: maybe you should use suspend, that's what I use [05:03] 734 MB ram [05:03] 2.5 GHz [05:04] Do any of you know an irc channel like this but for vista? I am trying to fix a vista problem for a friend, but I don't know vista but I am his tech support. [05:04] s [05:04] thats enough ram and cpu, maybe ubuntu isn't supported well by your hardware [05:04] KittyBoots, try #windows [05:04] system monitor shows 84% of CPU use is constant [05:04] alokito: thanks [05:05] I am using ubuntu 9.04, when i am trying to open windows shares it prompts for a password, but there is no password for that shared folder..pls help [05:05] can some one remote view into my computer? [05:05] start up time wouldn't be affected by ram, but more by hard disk speed, cpu, and i/o bandwidth [05:05] konza, I think its asking for your root password [05:05] like teamviewer or something [05:06] well I cant start up normally [05:06] khunter619, check out which process is using up the cpu, from system monitor [05:06] nope [05:06] alokito, nope [05:06] I need to use Recovery in start up and then boot [05:07] khunter619: you mean boot into gnome? [05:07] konza: It's asking for the password to that Windows user account. [05:07] otherwise the ubuntu screen which shows loading graphic just freezes my cpu [05:07] khunter619, there you go, recovery mode takes longer time than normal boot [05:07] nah I press escape then I choose Recovery [05:07] khunter619: do not use comfiz a lot. [05:08] khunter619, run xfix from recovery mode [05:08] bobbob1016, yup.. thats the poroblem... but I can use some shared folder on that windows box [05:08] i did that [05:08] xfix is graphic fix right? [05:08] khunter619, yes [05:08] yeah did that [05:08] khunter619, are u having this problem since fresh installation? [05:08] this is the first time I have installed linux [05:09] i first reformatted [05:09] deleted all partitions [05:09] khunter619: so sweet [05:09] then installed ubuntu [05:09] I mean, is this happening since your 1st boot? [05:09] yeah [05:09] konza: I think it's probably a combination of where certain shares are located and how smb.conf is set up. [05:10] bobertdos, do u know how to configure smb.conf [05:10] khunter619, ubuntu isn't well supported by your hardware [05:10] well i think it loaded properly on first boot...then when I used shut down...it froze [05:10] whats your laptop brand [05:10] so i had to remove batterry [05:10] Toshiba Satellite [05:10] khunter619, whats your file system? [05:10] Intel Celeron [05:11] hmm maybe you have a corrupt file system [05:11] run fsck from recovery mode === fccf2 is now known as fccf [05:11] hmmm I dont remember....i chose the first option in Ubuntu installation [05:11] then its ext3 [05:11] yes ext3 [05:12] so... have u run fsck? [05:12] fsck from recovery ? [05:12] !u [05:12] U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [05:12] yes [05:12] konza: Tutorials are all over the net and actually the comments written in the file itself explain things pretty well. The file is here: /etc/samba/smb.conf. [05:12] yes i did that [05:12] bobbob1016, k ... thanks [05:13] khunter619, if fsck doesn't fix that, then your file system is corrupt enough to do another fresh install :P [05:13] can some one remote desktop and help me out [05:13] please? [05:13] and use ext4 next time [05:13] I did use ext4 [05:14] when I try to access apache on my ubuntu machine from my Mac installed on other machine in the same local network, I get permission denied error. How can I allow the permission? [05:14] ext4 is in the advanced options in the installer I think [05:14] khunter619, no the ubuntu 9.04 default filesystem is ext3 [05:14] oh ok [05:14] i can just remeber NTFS and FAT and FAT32 [05:14] ext4 will be default in next release [05:15] khunter619: i'm rebooted just 35 sec in dual core 1,8 Ghz and 2 Gig Ram. lol [05:15] why any murrine themes does not work in 8.04? [05:15] khunter619, now be familiar with ext3, ext4, jfs :) [05:16] alokito: I tried installing ubuntu on a toshiba satelite at work once and remember running into hardware problems [05:16] I m using wireless...so will remote desktop work in Ubintu? [05:16] washburnello, probably hardware support problem [05:16] did you check out the linux laptops website? lots of good info there [05:17] our desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address 192.168.0.103 , owner-laptop.local. [05:17] alokito: yeah it was [05:17] *your [05:17] alokito: though I don remember exactly what [05:18] My IP address: 174.1.46.89 [05:18] washburnello, if your system hangs after sometime you can use the noapic and acpi=off options during boot, it might help [05:18] some one PM me...if you want to remote desktop on my PC [05:19] nobody? [05:19] khunter619: for someone to remote into your laptop you would have to forward port 5900 from your router (depending on your lan setup) to your laptop's 192.168.0.103 then give us your external IP address [05:19] khunter619: you need to open ports to allow remote desktop access [05:19] khunter619: which isn't a picnic [05:19] +1 washburnello [05:19] ok i can do that [05:19] 1 sec [05:20] khunter619, what problem are you having? ubuntu should automatically detect your wireless [05:20] my driver.... [05:20] washburnello: looking around please. not touched. [05:20] its supposed to be high power [05:20] does anyone know how to get that little modem pic on the task bar above? [05:21] what does lspci say your wireless chip is? [05:21] intel-i7: what's that mean? [05:21] SGottl7227: thats called nm-applet it should run in start up [05:21] intel-i7: oh you mean remote view only? [05:21] yes. lol [05:21] Hello People [05:21] well i am trying to configure a dial up modem.. and i remember having it before [05:21] intel-i7: thanks for the tip ;) [05:21] SGottl7227, right click on panel, click add to panel, search for a modem applet [05:22] I am not talking about those two computers [05:22] I m in the DI-624 routor [05:22] there is a pic of a telephone [05:22] bye [05:22] http://192.168.0.1/adv_virtual.html [05:22] SGottl7227, you want gnome ppp?

[05:23] it worked with windows . and it should work on ubuntu too [05:23] SGottl7227, whats your ubuntu version? u can configure modem directly with gnome network manager in 9.04 [05:23] that should open all ports [05:23] i have 9.04 [05:23] i did some stuff. but i am still a newbie [05:23] khunter619: that should work. [05:23] khunter619: i would not suggest that, [05:23] khunter619: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DI-624+/VNC.htm [05:24] only follow the 5900 port instructions [05:24] !modem | SGottl7227 [05:24] SGottl7227: You want to connect via dial-up?

[05:27] khunter619: what is the problem? [05:27] khunter619: you can pm me your ip and I'll look at it. make sure to set a password in your remote desktop settings and also set it to remote viewing only [05:28] you didn't do it right probably, or you need to push play, it's always worked for me >.> [05:28] hi guys i have this in my console:[root@abc-299 ~] for my server. Why there is []? [05:28] washburnello: pm me first [05:28] so I can reply [05:28] k [05:28] So, I officially screwed up my audio trying to make it work.

[05:29] lizzzy, run alsa force-reload from alt+f2 window [05:29] then run kmix [05:30] firecrotch, yea, but im right next to it [05:30] pete_: it could be the wireless driver that you're using causing the problem. [05:30] firecrotch, its the propriatery one from broadcom? [05:30] I seriously have seen sexier women than me :) (Who made me wish I was gay)!

I hear there's a newer version shipping with a different network adapter and it doesn't run on Ubuntu out of the box. [05:32] firecrotch, any idea?

If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [05:34] the internets fail [05:34] pete_: I'm not sure if there's a different driver that you can use - maybe the Windows driver using ndiswrapper [05:34] Hey, anyone know how I can use actionscript in Ubuntu? [05:34] firecrotch, would that not give me worse performance? [05:35] pete_: I've never had a problem [05:35] anyone ever get magic jack to work under ubuntu yet?

[05:41] Does anyone know how to update Ubuntu with the archive files downloaded to another computer which have been copied to a memory stick? [05:42] musikgoat: yep, been there [05:42] !aptoncd | this might give you more info [05:42] this might give you more info: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [05:42] firecrotch, how to exit from w3m [05:42] aftac, run gksudo nautilus from alt+f2, copy the package files from the memory stick then paste them in /var/cache/apt/archives [05:42] aftac: i'm pretty sure USB sticks follow the same [05:42] musikgoat: System -> Prefs -> Sound [05:43] shane2peru: i'm there [05:43] yeah but was hoping to not have any microsoft back on my PC it is an awful virus and very unstable !

Just trying out the Live CD and the wireless card is supported and active, but isn't finding the AP. It's an Atheros AR242x, and dmesg seems to say that it's using ath5k alright. [05:43] having trouble with sound permissions when doing a "startx" [05:43] pls help [05:43] aftac, its kdesudo dolphin in kubuntu [05:44] musikgoat: I have used Ubuntu a long time, and just had the prob and someone pointed me to that. :) [05:44] shane2peru: ahh, Master was selected but the device was monitor, i passed that up! [05:44] lol [05:44] musikgoat: hope that helps [05:44] musikgoat: right, me too [05:44] shane2peru: sure did thanks! [05:44] musikgoat: no prob [05:45] firecrotch, ok, done going to reboot [05:45] is it normal I can't install software from the ubuntu software center in 9.10 beta ? [05:45] hi, does anyone know how i can fully remove xchat like i never had it so i can resinstall it? i need to remove it where it removes all my settings [05:45] woodyjlw: yet you use the magicjack, which is ridden with adware? [05:45] I guess there is a line in dmesg that says "ADDRCONF(NETEDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready" [05:45] !ubuntu+1 | Moc [05:45] Moc: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [05:45] !9.10 | Moc [05:45] I'm not sure what that means. [05:45] !slow | Moc [05:45] firecrotch, do i need to reboot or is there a command [05:45] Moc: 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. [05:45] Wolfenstein: sudo apt-get purge xchat [05:46] Moc: should be able to install stuff, but right now Ubuntu repos have issues [05:46] ubuntu is imune to that adware MS is designed for adware [05:46] magikid, i did that already it didn't fully remove the settings [05:46] alokito: I may have many files that are not needed as I copied the entire content from the updated system. Is there no way that I can have the Update Manager retrieve just the needed files from the memory stick? [05:46] woodyjlw: we know [05:46] nexuiz 2.5.2 has been released. it comes in either glx or sdl forms. which is better to use? [05:46] :) [05:46] Wolfenstein: It won't remove the settings in your home folder. [05:46] pete_: did you follow the setup steps to load ndiswrapper at boot? if so, you're done, and should reboot to ensure that the module loads at boot [05:46] both glx and sdl forms appear to work, hence my confusion. [05:47] Wolfenstein: Those are in ~/.xchat2. Deleting that folder should do it. [05:47] magikid, so i should after removing xchat should delete the main folder? [05:47] aftac, paste all the files, run the update then use sudo apt-get clean to clean up the packages [05:47] firecrotch, what step was that [05:47] k [05:48] Wolfenstein: Yes, after you uninstall xchat, delete the .xchat2 folder in your home folder. [05:48] I read that they are working on a linux driver but thought maybe some one here might have already got magicjack to work without the Vbox and installing MS virus on PC [05:48] magikid, ok thanks [05:48] pete_: adding "ndiswrapper" to the bottom of the file /etc/modules [05:48] good morning [05:48] !hi|sxx [05:48] sxx: Hi!

[06:02] musikgoat: 1.0.1 [06:02] http://www.instantaction.com [06:02] Its the successor of the Tribes series [06:03] none of the bugreporting guides are really helpful in answering this, maybe someone here knows: what package do I file a bug against if the problem is that some themes are depending on an icon theme that isn't installed? [06:03] I dont know about 64 bit but 32 bit firefox doesn't crash in my pc [06:04] sxx: what was your components again? graphics? [06:04] my x64 firefox crashes alittle bit [06:04] is there really an x64 firefox? [06:04] i thought it wasn't forked? [06:04] at least not officially by mozilla [06:05] musikgoat: interl quad core q6600 oc 3.4mhzs. 6gig ram.. nvidia 9800gt 512mb.. 60gig ssd hdd [06:05] sigh [06:05] musikgoat: under about it actually says x86_64 [06:05] * hnsr gives up [06:05] -me sigh [06:06] hmm, interesting [06:06] get this game to work musikgoat [06:06] http://www.instantaction.com [06:06] it should be way enough power i would i thought mmm [06:06] fbdystang: you sure it doesnt say Linux x86_64? [06:06] sxx: its not a power issue [06:07] sxx: are you running nvidia drivers? [06:07] yep lastest ones [06:07] musikgoat: Thanks, that looks like what I want to do. [06:07] aftac: cool [06:08] musikgoat: could it be releated to the error i get after grub loader??? [06:08] musikgoat: under the about window it states this: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/674258 [06:08] dg1: doesn't like my OS [06:08] sxx: what was that [06:08] washburnello: I installed virtualbox deb from the site, where do i open it [06:08] fbdystang: you have a 64-bit OS, that is what that is saying [06:08] sxx: do you have the 190 drivers? [06:09] dg1: I used a user agent switcher and now it prompts me to install an .exe [06:09] hmm [06:09] yes [06:09] dg1: should be under the system category in applications === ime_imuet is now known as ccew [06:10] dg1: did you say you installed it [06:10] mustikgoat: ata 0+1 softreset failed device not ready.. dam pc isslowing down wine is stuck again grrrrrr i think i have that driver how can i check what version opps never mind i now 1 sec m8 [06:10] I'm trying to install a conexant modem in my computer. I followed the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Conexant Under "Conexant drivers provided by Dell". Everything seemed to install fine but the connection drops right away after it tries to connect. So i have another old conexant modem I want to try (different model). [06:10] yeah my system tools isnt showing up in my start bar [06:10] How do I remove the old drive and install a driver for the new card? [06:11] musikgoat: Doesn't that mean that it is the 64 bit version of firefox? [06:11] fbdystang: In my case, yes. I often have several copies of Firefox open with numerous tabs on each, and it appears at some point opening a new tab will cause Firefox to crash, but I can easily restore them all by opening Firefox again. Firefox appears to consume more and more memory the longer it runs, and I just assume that creates the problem. It's been happening for a long time now. [06:11] right click it and edit it [06:11] hi [06:11] dg1: it might be hidden for some reason [06:11] ShapeShifter499: hi [06:12] aftac: wow that really sucks. I have 6 gigs ram. hard to imagine firefox chewing all that up [06:12] I'm off to try and update the rest of my machines, thanks to all for your help. [06:12] fbdystang: I believe there isn't really a 64 bit version of firefox, however, that doesn't mean that plugins like flash cant be 64 bit [06:12] i see it in the edit menu screen yet its not showing up [06:12] aftac: it's possible that its caused by an unruly extension [06:13] So, I somehow need to get this audio thing up and running. Someone help me out??? "aplay -l" doesn't output anything now :( [06:13] i got it [06:13] dg1: is the tick box checked next to virtualbox & system tools? [06:13] fbdystang: I don't think it has anything to do with consuming all the RAM, but just at some point. [06:13] dg1: cool [06:14] washburnello: whats it saying for you, install exe [06:14] is there any way to prevent update manager from popping up? Every time it pops up while I ma running a game, it crashes it [06:14] mustikgoat: yep i have that driver installed i may need to restart pc is on a go slow every thing is soooo slow it when i even open wine pc goes down hill all 4 cores are 40-70% [06:14] I see that pulseaudio works fine but still no audio output. It was almost fine earlier and playing my music alright. Er.. I guess I uninstalled the drivers or something... [06:15] dg1: I closed it already but it was something like ie_pa_installer.exe [06:15] not sure what I did.. [06:15] musikgoat + aftac: thanks for answering my ?'s. it was very helpful :) [06:15] sxx: what does top say is taking up your CPU? [06:15] fbdystang: good luck [06:15] firecrotch: It happens just by opening gmail, hotmail, or yahoo at times. I usually have open a number of Ubuntu forum pages trying to pin down a solution to a problem at the same time. [06:15] lizzzy: if it's something you uninstalled, there should be a history in synaptic of all the things you have un/installed [06:16] xorg 99&cpu [06:16] ok, how much ram do you recommend [06:16] Hey guys, my wireless is broken (I spent 12 hours looking for a solution yesterday, to no avail), so I have decided to either re-install Jaunty, or update to Karmic, any advice? I have a seprate /home directory, so a re-install is almost as easy as an update (though I have *never* done a re-install, not even with windows!) [06:16] dg1: depends on what your using it for [06:16] mustikgoat : xorg 99%cpu [06:16] I'm gone for now. [06:16] im going to try and run a pretty new graphical game [06:16] chu_: the karmic beta is pretty stable... depends on your hardware, you can ask advice in #ubuntu+1 [06:16] dg1: I have one I use for Itunes, to sync my ipodtouch, I gave it 512 [06:16] washburnello: Where do I check what I (un)installed in the last 24 hrs? [06:17] Cheers musikgoat [06:17] lizzzy: sec [06:17] sxx: ouch [06:17] hi i am right now SSH files froms from ipod to Kubuntu and want to know where the progress bar is, i see it for 2-3secs than goes and pretty sure its still transferring? [06:17] sounds like a graphics issue, I would restart [06:18] lizzzy: pull up synaptic and go to File > History [06:18] sxx: or go to ctrl+alt+f2 and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (caution -> save any work) [06:18] lizzzy: it should give you a tree view by date [06:18] mdadm , raid-1 array size 160G, put a 1T disk in, rebuilt array... size is still 160G, if i add the other 1T disk and rebuild , will the array size remain at 160G or will it grow to 1T ? [06:18] washburnello: I'm on kde. Know what's the equivalent? [06:18] washburnello: I added you to my friends list k [06:18] sxx: wow mine is only 3.4% [06:18] pukeko: it will stay 160G [06:18] lizzzy: hmm.... I've actually never messed with kde [06:18] :( [06:19] I have just login my QQ,but it does not appear anywhere.And I do not know where to fine it.Can anybody tell me how to handle this problem?I am a new user. [06:19] dg1: K [06:19] lizzzy: sorry :( [06:19] lizzzy, u can install synaptic in kde [06:19] musikgoat: how can i expand the size ? [06:19] its not a large package [06:19] pukeko: you need to restructure a raid 1 to take advantage of new disk space [06:19] t7io [06:19] My compiz isn't working at all, anyone know how I can reset it? [06:19] It's ok washburnello. Thanks for trying. It wasn't working too well for me the last time I installed it, so I uninstalled it. [06:19] hi i am right now SSH files froms from ipod to Kubuntu and want to know where the progress bar is, i see it for 2-3secs than goes and pretty sure its still transferring? anyone? [06:19] lizzzy, Im a regular kde user, but I don't like kpackagekit at all [06:20] pukeko: is it your / ? [06:20] alokito: would it have the history if lizzy did? [06:20] musikgoat: nah just data [06:20] washburnello, yup I think so [06:20] m0r0n: If you come to #compiz I will help you [06:20] pukeko: then move the data off, unmount, use mdadm to delete and recreate with the full space [06:20] anyone had this problem before... ubuntu logged me out for no reason I was loading xchat? running fresh install Jaunty [06:20] soreau: Will do. [06:20] alokito: saweeeet [06:21] alokito: Have you had any sound problems earlier? [06:21] lizzzy, yup, in karmic... alt+f2 alsa force-reload fix's it [06:22] musikgoat: thought that might have been the way to do it... but wanted a refresher on mdadm , no mdadm grow or something that would do it ? [06:22] alokito So, It's better to upgrade to 9.10? [06:22] washburnello: this is cool, i put my winxp cd in [06:22] lizzzy, no you should wait till the final release [06:22] its coming in 29th october [06:22] hi [06:22] anybody used libcurl ? [06:23] alokito: But I need the audio to work by then for a class presentation :( [06:23] lizzzy: I'd wait till the official release, but I've been burned too many times by beta production machines [06:23] pukeko: hmm, looks like there may be... based on references online [06:23] WIll wait for the official release then. [06:23] can i boot an installation of winxp that i already have? [06:23] pukeko: i believed that there wasn't but i'm mistaken [06:23] libcurl, anybody know? [06:23] dg1: welcome to the world of virtualization [06:24] dg1: yes but it's no picnic [06:24] washburnello: will this virtual drive stay, or do i have to install xp everytime [06:24] lizzzy, did you try alsa force-reload? [06:24] dg1: I tried it once and it bombed the partition [06:24] oh man [06:24] dg1: it will stay [06:24] musikgoat: do you know how to disemble the raid so each disk can be mounted as normal ? [06:25] hope i made it big enough [06:25] pukeko: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/424 [06:25] dg1: did you make it a static size or dynamic? [06:25] dynamic [06:25] well nvm then [06:25] dg1: then it will actually grow to that size when needed [06:25] yup alokito. Doesn't seem to work :( [06:25] no way! xchat-gnome just crashed on me!! [06:25] pukeko: i'm more familiar with hardware raids, and structures, aparently not with all the features of mdadm :P [06:25] cool [06:26] musikgoat: np - just reading that linl brb [06:26] * aprilhare does not use xchat-gnome. too pretty. [06:26] dg1: I have a VM at work with a 80GB dynamic drive and the drive file is sitting at aroung 20GB right now [06:26] lizzzy, go to computer>> system settings>> Multimedia from klauncher and test the output devices one by one [06:26] alokito: Lol, I think that just crashed plasma :( [06:27] lizzzy, alt+f2 plasma-desktop will start it again [06:27] fbdystang...just had the same problem [06:27] it actually logged me out [06:27] mustikgoat: sorry i just had to hit restart button it frooze solid/// see in windows no problems it plays all games i can throw at it... im guessing it must be a driver conflict somewhere [06:27] baltadt: i wonder if it was a server thing [06:28] maybe..anyone else having problems with xchat? [06:28] dg1: did you get your game to work? [06:28] its installing windows [06:28] baltadt, what problem? [06:28] xchat crashing? [06:28] dg1: ah, I forget how long it takes to install windows lol [06:28] baltadt, nope, not once! [06:28] hey does anyone know bout networking ubuntu to windows? [06:29] how do i import contacts from my gmail to evolution mail? [06:29] Wolfenstein: networks can get very hairy vary quick. you need to bee specific with the issue [06:29] sxx: yeah, I would try investigating with #appdb and the wine folks, they might have better suggestions, but for it to cause the X problems you described, I'm betting that drivers will be the first thing mentioned [06:29] takes forever....sigh === wahyu_ is now known as cew______cute [06:29] alokito: Well, both alsa and oss default output fails and falls back to pulseaudio [06:29] friendishan: I have seen people do it but I don't rmember how [06:30] dg1: I know, I blew a friend away once when I installed ubuntu in 15 min. [06:30] sxx: #winehq sorry [06:30] how can i tell the x-org driver veersion i am running [06:30] washburnello, to be honest i can't remember what i installed for it but i was able to go into windows and access my files from ubuntu and can't remember what to type in the run box in windows to get it [06:30] dg1: and it's faster than that if you install over network [06:30] lizzzy, is pulse audio working? can u hear a music during the test? [06:30] are there any known problems with Karmic and Intel 945s? [06:30] alokito pulseaudio seems to pass the test but no auudio can be heard :( [06:30] you cant beat that [06:30] anyone else knows how to import contacts from gmail to evolution mail [06:30] I installed the beta and wow is performance awful. [06:30] o :| [06:30] Worse than 9.04 [06:31] mustikgoat: drat as he kicks his machine grrrrr.. lol i will check that out now buddy thank you for taking the time to help me ^.^ drinks on me woot woot [06:31] is windows more complicated than linux? [06:31] LiquidRain: I have to say quite the opposite [06:31] sry i dont know the name of the german ubuntu irc... can someon help me? [06:31] lizzzy, are u using a digital audio output or analog [06:31] sxx: GL! === soulnet-4 is now known as cew [06:31] shizzo, #ubuntu-de [06:31] or is windows more individual to your pc [06:31] Wolfenstein: I normally just go to my network places and my machine is listen under it's respective workgroup [06:31] ok thx [06:31] musikgoat: what magic did you apply to your machine? Out of the box and with ubuntu-x-swat, I have absolutely terrible performance. [06:31] alokito: KMix is crashing so I can't check if the audio device is muted but on padevchooser, nothing seems to be muted. [06:31] #ubuntu-de === cew is now known as cew_______ [06:31] I had xorg-edgers running on 9.04 and it was much faster than this [06:32] alokito: I'm trying to play it through the on-board speakers. [06:32] mustikgoat: thank you if you see something flyby your window don`t be alarmed its probably my graphics card lol [06:32] lizzzy, whats ur sound card model? [06:32] oh its a laptop [06:32] alokito: How do I check it? [06:32] LiquidRain: i've got it running on my eee 901, and the performance is reasonably faster... intel chipset and graphics [06:32] musikgoat: Can you run a quick gtkperf for comparison's sake? [06:32] LiquidRain: so its more of an edge case [06:32] washburnello, well i have a problem to access my windows files from ubuntu but not my ubuntu files from windows i was doing something like //computername/user i think and i don't know if i forgot something but i had to reformat my windows comp and i have files i want to move back over to my windows comp [06:33] dg1: windows can be very complex when your managing big networks and doing a lot of registry customizing. but complex doesn't = good all the time [06:33] alokito, I guess hda intel and sigmatel stac92xx the last time I checked. [06:33] musikgoat: hmmm i think i'll do it the "safe" way.. got a gig to get to and don't want to be stuck here headscratching or worse [06:33] I'd say being a laptop it would be easier to google the serial number and find out [06:33] LiquidRain: i don't have jaunty on it any more, so you want to compare it to yours? [06:33] alokito Not too sure if that's what you asked ^^ [06:33] !sound [06:33] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [06:33] musikgoat: I'm running Karmic on my laptop right now... so a comparison would.. well then again you have an Atom, but still, it'd be good to compare. [06:33] yeah, complex surely isnt good all the time [06:33] Wolfenstein: sorry I accidently closed the chat window, could you repeat that? [06:33] my machine should be faster than yours. yet I can't even scroll in a terminal without lag. [06:34] g2g [06:34] bye [06:34] just guessing since there's only a few things like the ram that you can easily take a screw out to get to [06:34] washburnello, well i have a problem to access my windows files from ubuntu but not my ubuntu files from windows i was doing something like //computername/user i think and i don't know if i forgot something but i had to reformat my windows comp and i have files i want to move back over to my windows comp [06:34] anyone else knows how to import contacts from gmail to evolution mail [06:34] anyone else knows how to import contacts from gmail to evolution mail [06:34] alokito: Tried everything mentioned there. No use :( Well, volume control seems to be crashing now, so I s'pose I can't do that again. [06:34] hello can anyone tell me a working auto clicker for linux ubuntu? I just need to find something that will click every 2 seconds [06:34] so friendishan I don't [06:34] friendishan: export from gmail, then import into evolution :) [06:34] lizzzy, did you have sound working before? [06:34] iCarly: gtick? [06:34] try smb://COMPNAME/SHARE [06:35] OK i am really not liking xchat right now [06:35] liquidrain: how? [06:35] alokito: Yes. But not for all players. Only amarok and now that doesn't work too. [06:35] washburnello, i never put smb in front [06:35] some chill techno on the windows xp instro screen [06:35] Wolfenstein: that stands for samba, it's the protocall your using [06:35] friendishan: Open Synaptic from the System menu, and search for "gtick". Right click it and install it. [06:35] yyeah [06:35] fbdystang: why not use pidgin for irc? seriously do you like xchat that much better [06:35] pidgin does irc? [06:36] dg1: I've always wanted to find that mp3 [06:36] yea im using samba thats what i couldn't remember, but i never put smb in front [06:36] Doc_Lappy: pidgin's irc support is rather imcomplete [06:36] yep that's what I'm on [06:36] LiquidRain: total time 39.24 [06:36] you can use pidgin? [06:36] i never heard it cause i alway have to manually install my sound driver lol [06:36] sux [06:36] dg1: lol [06:36] lstarnes: not with the purple-plugin-pack [06:36] liquidrain: ok done [06:36] Ok, mine is significantly faster than that, but I can't scroll around without getting lag. I guess you're not a good comparison. [06:36] lstarnes: at least in my opinion [06:36] Wolfenstein: did it fork? [06:36] musikgoat: even then it still lacks some support, but that works better [06:36] LiquidRain: [06:36] Wolfenstein: *work [06:36] yeah, check in #ubuntu+1 [06:36] friendishan: I've never used it, but it's the first result for "ubuntu metronome" :) [06:37] well true it's not the ideal one for irc but for what I use it for I don't need xchat or anything so I suggest it to some just so they don't have so many things they have to run at once [06:37] washburnello, i didn't do it with smb before it was just //COMPUTERNAME/Downloads or my user for my ubuntu [06:37] liquidrain: um.. [06:38] How do I join another channel from here at the command line? [06:38] fbdystang: /join #other-channel [06:38] bitchchat and irssa? or whatever I liked okay for terminal which was fun [06:38] lizzzy, check this http://www.google.com.bd/search?q=sigmatel+stac92xx+sound+problem+ubuntu&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a === frivol is now known as flippo [06:38] fbdystang: e.g. /join #ubuntu-offtopic [06:38] lstarnes: thanks [06:38] Doc_Lappy: irssi [06:38] Wolfenstein: don't know. I know in windows you do \\name\share and in linux you do smb://name/share [06:38] friendishan: not quite doing what you're looking for? sorry :/ [06:38] liquidrain: ok no problem^^ [06:39] Wolfenstein: that's what I type into the nautilus address bar [06:39] washburnello, ok i'll try the share part i don't think it was in config file but i never knew how to get my windows files through ubuntu always had a problemn === BlackJack is now known as Dreaman [06:39] thanks musiKgoat, your not a german goat? lol just teasing ya I just find your name strange for an id [06:39] Wolfenstein: you could always look under Network too [06:39] OK /join #ubuntu+1 is not working [06:39] fbdystang: what client? [06:39] Wolfenstein: Places>Network [06:40] xchar [06:40] xchat [06:40] fbdystang: /j #ubuntu+1 ? [06:40] fbdystang: that should work [06:40] washburnello, only thing in network is just this computer which is unbuntu and windows netowrk [06:40] fbdystang: hmm, not familiar with xchat [06:40] yep worked sweet thanks [06:40] /join should work in xchat. [06:40] Wolfenstein: or do a Places>Connect to Server and set it up for there [06:40] fbdystang: do you run scripts? [06:40] maybe he put a space in front [06:41] nope, no space [06:41] or scripts [06:41] Wolfenstein: have you tried with just the ip address instead of the host name? [06:41] fbdystang: also you could just click on #ubuntu+s <--------------- Here where the word is at.. :) [06:41] I am in fedora though, maybe fedora's is different [06:41] have you tried pinging the winbox's ip? [06:41] xchat is rather standard irc.. /join should work in any of them [06:41] that's why I would prefer xchat over pidin and it's well a better looking gui too [06:41] washburnello, i don't know i can't remember what the people that were trying to help me tried and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working on the ubuntu end [06:41] Wolfenstein: like I said, networks can get hairy pretty easily [06:41] what is a good program in ubuntu to burn an iso file? [06:42] !iso [06:42] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [06:42] Dr_Willis: yea I tried that and it worked a couple times, now it doesn't [06:42] hello, can any one help me filling a form on the web? [06:42] Slurpee: brasero [06:42] k3b [06:42] Hey, my audio sounds like there is a thunderstorm of static hitting it [06:42] brasero fails for me. i wonder if my dvd drive doesnt like ubuntu? [06:42] lizzzy, here's a workaround, hope it helps: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=586058 [06:42] doesn't it do iso images [06:42] fbdystang: sounds like you got some deeper issues then. I personally use Weechat these days [06:42] even if i try to build an audio cd...simply while adding tracks brasero dies. [06:42] !burn [06:42] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [06:42] hello, can any one help me filling a form on the web? [06:42] washburnello, and also in windows when i type //COMPUTERNAME/share it says it cannot find that name [06:42] Slurpee: try xfburn [06:42] Slurpee: brasero worked great for me [06:42] as a last resort try k3b [06:42] why would brasero fail? [06:43] LiquidRain: lol, i tested gtkperf on my desktop (jaunty) and i get 6.10 [06:43] brasaro suc [06:43] use k3b [06:43] Wolfenstein: in ubuntu, open a terminal (applications>accessories>terminal) and type "ping 192.168.1.1" but replace with your winbox's IP [06:43] I've always had my best luck with k3b burning anything, funny I couldn't get brasero to burn for me [06:43] to each his own - washington [06:43] ive had constant issues with brasero also [06:43] does the same with me [06:43] I've also had problems with brasero [06:43] seriously just try both and see which one seems to work for ya the best [06:43] I've never had a prob with brasaro [06:43] washburnello, it says destination host is unreachable [06:43] The only thing brasero is good for is making coasters [06:44] yes [06:44] yeah I wasted 3 cds with brasero and gave up [06:44] yep firecrotch lol [06:44] washburnello: me neither [06:44] Wolfenstein: then there is a network connectivity problem like a cable is unplugged, broken, [06:44] love your id firecrotch [06:44] brasero is ok, but k3b is best [06:44] Doc_Lappy: Thanks :) [06:44] washburnello, both computers connect to same modem [06:44] and both can connect to internet just fine [06:45] Wolfenstein: what are the IP addresses of the two computers? [06:45] mamooli: did you get your question answered? [06:45] firecrotch, i don't know they both same ip cause i use the same connection for both [06:45] Wolfenstein: this is where is gets hairy: pinging is the lowest level network command there is so if you can't even ping a host, there is a problem [06:46] Wolfenstein: hmmm... [06:46] washburnello: you have jaunty [06:46] dg1: yup [06:46] Wolfenstein: they shouldnt have the same IP address, they should each have their own different internal IP addresses [06:46] hmm, i heard brasaro had a problem with the new jaunty, either way it still dosnt work for me [06:46] Wolfenstein: probably both in the 192.168.1.x ranger [06:46] *range [06:47] Wolfenstein: well if they have the same IP then that's the problem, but in theory, if they have the same IP then only one should be able to get online [06:47] firecrotch, i know its the same cause like i said its from the same modem my same dsl modem i have both computers to same modem [06:48] washburnello: the game is downloading now (maybe it will work) [06:48] hello can anyone tell me a working auto clicker for linux ubuntu? I just need to find something that will click every 2 seconds [06:48] well then i don't know how to tell what my ip is for this comp in ubuntu unless its same as doing it in windows in command prompt [06:48] Wolfenstein: please explain your setup a little more... they are both connected directly to your DSL modem? Does your modem have a router/switch built into it or? [06:48] Wolfenstein: a dsl modem will have one WAN IP an will dish out multiple LAN IP's to your computers [06:48] washburnello: Do I need to install my video card drivers on here. [06:48] #faq [06:48] dg1: I don't think o [06:48] Wolfenstein: in ubuntu, from a terminal, run the command "ifconfig" [06:48] firecrotch, yes they are both connected directly to the modem i don't think it has a router built into the modem [06:49] inside windows xp [06:49] Anyone know the audio side of Ubuntu well? [06:49] dg1: but in the VM's settings you should enable 3d accelleration [06:49] firecrotch, ok i did that in terminal which part do you want me to give you? [06:49] does ubuntu just not play youtube vids or is it me? [06:49] Wolfenstein: then how are they both connected to the modem? does it have multiple ethernet ports or what? (if so, it has a router or switch built in) [06:49] firecrotch, yes [06:50] Balsaq: it's just you. youtube plays fine for me [06:50] its a wireless modem where i can have a wireless connection through it like from a laptop its from att [06:50] Balsaq: do you have flash installed? [06:50] ok good what do i need to do washburnello YES [06:50] flash yes! [06:50] Wolfenstein: The address for eth0 is the LAN IP of the computer. is that different than the LAN IP of the windows machine? [06:50] but wheni looked it sayd no drivers in there [06:51] Balsaq: well flash is really all you need as far as I know [06:51] Balsaq: well flash isn't a driver [06:51] washburnello: ok then its my vid card casue they play just reeaalll slow [06:51] firecrotch, i see three addys under eth0, one says inet addr, another is Bcast and other is maks [06:51] *mask [06:52] salam , bache ha man icon haie tooie taskbaram jashoon avaz shode ( maslan shutdown va volum control ) aslan shutdown oomade invar oon rafte oonvar , nemishe kari kard ke dobare khodesh dorost she ? [06:52] the music is on time and good but the video is way behind washburnello [06:52] Balsaq: that sounds about right, if they show up then you do have flash working [06:52] Wolfenstein: inet addr is the one that is the actual IP. [06:52] ok let me see [06:53] Balsaq: sorry but I'm not sure what would cause video slowdown [06:53] washburnello: then i need to but a card that 1. upgrades what i have and 2. ubuntu like for it s software 3. 200watt 12v-6a here [06:53] FloodBot1: [06:53] what do these 3 flood bots do ? [06:53] well when i go in my windows comp and type ipconfig it shows 3 of course but ip addy and default gateway both start with 69. but in ubuntu i don't have anything like that both the inet and bcast have 192 [06:53] Balsaq: is it only youtube? or does a site like vimeo slow down too? [06:53] ruby_on_tails1: they are used for reducing or stopping floods [06:54] havent tried others yet Newbie === hannibal is now known as Guest23293 === Guest23293 is now known as hannibal_ [06:54] washburnello : but on this same puter it woked with w98 [06:54] wked = worked [06:54] hi [06:54] bots are admins [06:54] Balsaq: try some other video sites to narrow it down [06:54] hmm [06:55] ruby_on_tails1: they must be in order to do their jobs [06:55] lstarnes: 1 bot wasn't enough ? :D [06:55] Hello, does the Asus Eee PC 1101HA Seashell work with ubuntu? === mr is now known as Guest49999 [06:55] well i know the only change was ubuntu [06:55] Balsaq: You're having slow flash video performance? Is it only when the video is in fullscreen mode? Because that's normal - fullscreen flash video sucks in Linux [06:55] firecrotch, did you get my last comment? meant to tell it to you sorry [06:55] Balsaq: or google "ubuntu flash youtube slow" [06:55] jamieleshaw: Yes. [06:55] i killed w98 put in ubuntu and then it happened [06:55] Balsaq: what are the system specs? [06:55] ioneye, What works, Wifi< trackpad, is it out of box? [06:55] Wolfenstein: yes, I did. Your windows computer should not have an ip address in the 69.x range, it should be a 192 address [06:56] any of ya know how to change the color of this ? [06:56] washburnello: 400mgz 768sdram 10g HD 8mb ati agp [06:56] Guest49999: this what? [06:56] firecrotch: do you think the could be set as static? [06:56] umm the background color [06:56] firecrotch, well i do it doesn't show any 192 [06:56] Guest49999, does this look green ? [06:57] nahh [06:57] washburnello: but i just did a ton of updates while runing around on here at same time [06:57] Wolfenstein: is your IP address on the windows machine a static address? [06:57] I guess I can't help much then. Never mind. [06:57] okk [06:57] Balsaq: wow, that's kinda slow (no disrespect intended) but you said that it worked on w98? [06:57] firecrotch, um i don't think so [06:57] Guest49999: you might want to state your irc client. and check your irc clients docs./settings/menus [06:58] washburnello: happened after i dumped w98...yet all else is way better with ubuntu...no more freezes [06:58] Balsaq: indeed :D [06:58] Balsaq: does the slow video happen only when the flash video is fullscreen? [06:58] washburnello{ tells me its in ubunutu, they drivers dont suppoert mt old vid card [06:59] Balsaq: bummer [06:59] firecrotch" never saw that but in utube yes [06:59] Wolfenstein: On the windows machine, run these commands: ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew [06:59] firecrotch: ok but i killed w98 [06:59] firecrotch, ok [07:00] Balsaq: Fullscreen flash video absolutely sucks in the Linux version of flash, no matter what video card or whatever your system specs are [07:00] well, I had a fantastic time on IRC tonight, Thanks #ubuntu you people are awesome! goodnight... [07:00] washburnello: goodnight, and thanks! [07:00] firecrotch, i did that and still shows the same thing [07:00] Does the Eee PC 1101HA work out of box with Ubuntu?

[07:03] Wolfenstein: Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Double click the ethernet connection -> Select IPv4 settings -> Click Properties [07:03] firecrotch if vid card wont help im dead due to old proc 400mgz...but do you know if vid cards can speed up utube [07:04] jamieleshaw: Yes. [07:04] Balsaq: I don't think it will. [07:04] anyone playing with ext4 yet [07:04] ioneye, Is there a forum post I can refer to? [07:04] eross: a great many of us have beenusing ext4 for some time now. [07:04] jamieleshaw: On the latest update of Ubuntu 9.04 many things improved. [07:04] eross: Been using for quite some time now === Tommi|afk is now known as Tommi [07:04] firecrotch i thought so...people at dell told me that and other think vid cards improve online vids [07:04] firecrotch, ok but i know in my gateways firewall setup the firewall inside my modem/router i had on that computer dmzplus mode selected cause i wasn't able to use ftp but since i know i can use networking imma turn it off [07:04] does it require defragging, or can it become fragged [07:04] ioneye, I assume Larmic Koala will be better again right? [07:05] jamieleshaw: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1230045&highlight=eeepc [07:05] join #python [07:05] Wolfenstein: There's your problem, I believe [07:05] firecrotch i guess this old dogs is gettin to the end..just wont die now i may have to kill it [07:05] Touk: you need /join #python [07:05] i wonder if a tiny operating system would let it work [07:05] Balsaq: you can always turn it into a network fileserver or something! I have an old old Dell with a Celeron 450MHz or so that I use as a webserver [07:06] Balsaq: that's about all its good for, lol [07:06] Anyone know why I would not be able to change permissions on a folder under an NTFS mounted drive? [07:06] fifrecrotch what is the benefit of that [07:06] fbdystang: i know, was typo, ty [07:06] webserver...what for? [07:06] What is the off topic channel? [07:06] amites: you set the permissions/owner on ntfs/vfat fildsystems when you Mount them. You dont change individual file/dir permissions [07:06] firecrotch, well in the network connections cause im using windows xp i only have one icon under lan or high speed internet [07:06] a website :) [07:06] Balsaq: I use it for my personal website :) === Prohibit is now known as Prohibited [07:06] Dr_Willis thank you [07:07] !offtopic [07:07] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:07] Wolfenstein: I believe the problem is the dmzplus that you have set up [07:07] firecrotch..so you dont run the net on it just display your site there? [07:07] if I want to add ubuntu.cs.utah.edu/ to my server repo list, where can i put it? [07:07] firecrotch, ok so should i try to ipconfig again in the windows comp? [07:08] BRB [07:08] Wolfenstein: after turning the dmz off, run ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew again [07:08] fbdystang: in /etc/apt/sources.list ? === meatbun is now known as wahnfrieden2 [07:08] DMZ = bad [07:08] Balsaq: Yes, the only thing it does is serve up my blog to the outside world :) [07:09] fbdystang: the synaptic tool has settings -> software sources interface to let you select that one I think. (or it can test/find the fastest one for you) [07:09] firecrotch, ok === wahnfrieden2 is now known as meatbun [07:09] Can anyone give me some help with networkmanager ? [07:10] ubuntu.cs.utah.edu is in the selectable list of servers under synaptic. :) [07:10] Time for a real question now. I was playing quake live using my razor mouse and it froze up. I had to switch to my other mouse. both are usb. Do I need to boot with IRQ polling or something? [07:11] firecrotch, yep that did it lol [07:11] Dr_Willis: yep thanks [07:11] my razor will lock up from excessive use :P or 2 minutes, whichever comes last [07:12] kk [07:12] is it possible with a PPTP VPN connection to add a specific machine name to a routing path? [07:12] saludos [07:13] Ali_nz^: still trying to get your DNS working over your VPN connection, I see? [07:13] firecrotch: hehe, what I think i kinda want is like an entry to say if you type in "QNAP" resolve the address via VPN [07:13] a bit like a routing table entry [07:14] but not using IP's [07:14] firecrotch, and also you're right both computers have different ip's the windows comp is 1 number lower than my ubuntu computer [07:14] Ali_nz^: there's really no way to do that, as far as I know. One solution would be to use your work's DNS servers for everything when you're connected to the VPN. [07:15] firecrotch: ok [07:15] Ali_nz^: if you know your work LAN's DNS server IP address, you can change it in /etc/resolv.conf [07:15] hey also, is there a way to browse a Windows Computer via IP? what do you use to do it? [07:15] firecrotch, i just was able to get my window folders from ubuntu when i went to places network then to windows netowrk [07:15] I would also like to know Ali_nz's question === m4v_ is now known as m4v [07:16] ls [07:16] I think samba has something for that [07:16] Ali_nz^: Places -> Network should show all of the computers that are on the LAN [07:17] firecrotch: interestingly it doesnt show any of the computers on the VPN side of the LAN, only local [07:17] I was trying to install ubuntu 9.04 in my friends desktop, when i tried installing from live cd, it says out of range on the monitor [07:17] neither 8.04,8.10 worked. But 7.10 only worked? What might be the problem? [07:18] firecrotch: any ideas why that might be? [07:18] pradeep, This is a refresh rate thing I think [07:19] jamieleshaw: how to fix it [07:19] ? [07:19] firecrotch, you still there, LOL [07:19] Ali_nz^: Nautilus isn't looking at the VPN subnet at all. I'm not sure how to get it to do that. But you can browse the remote computers if you know the IP address by typing smb://ipaddresshere/ in the address bar of nautilus [07:19] ideal refresh rate is >= 60 hertz [07:19] pete_: yes I am [07:19] pradeep: lower your screens refresh rate to 60 Hz [07:19] pradeep, Well, if possible try changing the refersh rate [07:20] firecrotch, haha, NDIS wrapper was a nightmare. could not get on irc. only browse the web [07:20] firecrotch: nautilus being the ? [07:20] firecrotch, so back to the propriatery I guess. [07:20] ioneye : should i do it in the bios? [07:20] Ali_nz^: the file manager [07:20] pradeep: If you have another monitor handy, you could try that as well. [07:20] anyone, tried installing vmware workstation? it stop working @ 62% @@; any clue? ~ [07:20] pradeep: if your screen don't have that kind of option then yes. [07:20] howitzer: he has only one monitor [07:21] does the monitor work on other computer? [07:22] is it important to get a vid card in a laptop [07:22] laptops have a built in vid card, and they suck [07:22] some are coming out with vid cards lately [07:22] firecrotch, can you finish helping me if you can on the window part? [07:23] wh.. [07:23] Wolfenstein: what are you stuck on? [07:24] night [07:24] Wolfenstein: the windows computer now has a proper IP address, correct? [07:24] firecrotch, yea lol i been talking to you and telling you that the dmz mode thing was the problem [07:25] firecrotch, and my problem in windows is i can't access my ubuntu files from windows [07:26] Wolfenstein: the easiest way to access the files on the ubuntu machine from your windows machine will be to share the files using samba [07:26] Wolfenstein: i often find it easier to just put winscp on the windows box . and access ubuntu via ssh that way [07:27] Or listen to Dr_Willis, since I have no clue how to set up Samba in gnome [07:27] firecrotch, well before i was able to do it when i typed //COMPUTERNAME/Downloads or //COMPUTERNAME/user in the run box and was able to put my username and pass in the prompt but i can't remember if im doing something wrong since i reformatted windows [07:27] ioneye: where do i change the refresh rate??? its not there in BIOS [07:28] hi everyone can anyone tell me run stream mp3 from my apache2 intranet [07:28] i thouht refresh was an os thing [07:28] Wolfenstein: if your not familiar with samba. There as an application called meiga through which u can share files. try it out [07:29] firecrotch: yep that nautilus trick worked [07:29] pradeep: hopefully it's not a monitor that is from before the middle-90s, which can't handle 60hz? [07:29] what does acpi=force irqpoll do? [07:30] pradeep, its not im not familiar with samba i've done this //computername/user or /downloads command before and it worked now it won't let me do it [07:30] Wolfenstein: Oh ok!! I thought you are new to samba [07:30] firecrotch: it looks like you could then add each computer as a place... [07:31] Ali_nz^: you can do this, yes :) [07:31] howitzer: it's a BenQ monitor.. 6 month's old === xod is now known as onats [07:31] any good ubuntu tools for system process/cpu monitoring etc? [07:31] howitzer:AMD processor with Nvdia card 128 mb [07:31] and maybe network mapping? [07:32] pradeep: ah, I just acquired three BenQ monitors yesterday, T2210HD. [07:32] couls some one comment on this puter i may buy: amd athlon 3200 64 bit 2.0 , 1 gig ram, 40 HD, from about 2005 era...any good for buntu and for online videos? [07:32] Alin_nz^: there's a tool called conky [07:32] pradeep, i am but im just not able to access my ubuntu files now when i did before i reformatted don't know if im doing something wrong [07:33] rams far too less [07:33] Alin_nz^: or u can use the default gnome one. Type gnome-system-monitor at the terminal [07:33] Anyone play the sauerbraten game? It does not seem to be about much to me. I just walk around, collect stuff and nothing seems to happen. [07:33] Wolfenstein: you did install 'samba' package? and gave the user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' ? [07:33] Wolfenstein: im just going through what i normally do to get things going on a new system. :) === sync_ is now known as sync [07:34] Dr_Willis, the problems are in a windows computer not ubuntu i haven't changed anything to my ubuntu computer [07:34] Alin_nz^: nmap for netwrk mapping [07:34] col - thanks [07:35] howitzer`: This is the first time i am facing problems in ubuntu installation. Have installed in various comps [07:35] Wolfenstein: ahh. i also always have identicval windows user name and password on the windows box. Can the windows box access its own shares? [07:35] why cannot i enter the virtual terminal with 2.6.30 [07:35] 'virtual terminal' meaning what exactly? [07:36] I like Terminal Server Clinet - it seems to connect to anything no matter what the protocol, but there doesnt seem to be a scaling option....ahh its hard finding the perfect softwar e:-) [07:36] Dr_Willis, what? im not sharing files through same computer if thats what you're asking i have 2 computers one is windows and one is nix, os ubuntu which is what im on now [07:37] Wolfenstein: as a 'test' i always make a share on both machines. and make sure they can access theor own local shares. [07:37] pradeep: did you try to install in safe graphics mode? [07:37] Wolfenstein: also instead of //HOSTnAME/share you could try the ip#. [07:38] Dr_Willis: tty0-6 [07:38] Wolfenstein: im just thinking through things ive done in the past to trouble shoot samba. [07:38] Dr_Willis, i have my config for samba set with computername and i did that in windows its telling me it can't find it [07:38] pspe: those are the 'consoles' is what they are normally called. [07:38] Wolfenstein: can the windows box even ping the lin box via the name? can it ping via ip? [07:39] Dr_Willis, i never had a problem before like i said i just reformatting the windows computer and got it all squared up so i shouldn't have a problem [07:40] Wolfenstein: im just spitting out trouble shooting 'things to try' to narrow down the problem. [07:40] is there a network map app with a gui? [07:40] If the windows box cant even ping the lin box. well.... thats where you need to start [07:40] Dr_Willis, no problem but i don't know what is the problem since i never did anything on the ubuntu side but remove xchat and the xchat folder === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux [07:41] Wolfenstein: also see if the lin box can access a share on the windows box. (ie the reverse of what you want to do). If that also fails. that may be a sign of network/firewall/windows setting issues also. [07:41] what allows people to drag a window to different workplaces with the mouse in Ubuntu? [07:42] beatbreaker: thats a feature of the window manager normally. compiz has a setting for that. as does the normal gnome window manager i recall [07:42] Dr_Willis, i can now access my windows files through ubuntu as i couldn't before but was able to access my ubuntu files in windows now its backwards if only i can get windows problem solved [07:43] howitzer`:well give it a try now. Hope it works [07:43] <_MattB> i'm trying to write a bash script that rips a dvd and calls eject -t /dev/scd0 to close the tray prior to ripping, but the ripping program can't open the drive because it's not ready, any ideas on how I can wait for the drive to be ready before going to the ripping operation? === Guest76738 is now known as Debolaz [07:44] I see there are a couple of flavours of light Linux, are reccomendations? [07:45] are=any === mr is now known as Guest4420 [07:46] Dr_Willis, i got a question do you know how i can set the program files folder in windows to share? the boxes are greyed out and i dunno how to make it to where i can access that on my ubuntu computer [07:47] Ali_nz^: tinycore, slitaz, dsl, puppy, slax [07:47] howitzer`: sure but which is best? [07:47] arch! [07:47] I want to upgrade to 9.04, but the amd fglrx graphics driver isn't available in 9.04 it says. what do you think i should do? [07:47] Ali_nz^: that's up to you :) [07:47] howitzer`: in your humble opinion ;-) [07:48] Dr_Willis, ok but i'm coming from another distro, what window manager does Ubuntu use then? Metacity doens't do stuff like that - or is a minimal install of conpiz in there already? [07:48] Ali_nz^: it depends on the computer ;) [07:49] Ali_nz^: how experienced are you with linux? how willing to read docs? [07:49] btw Dr_Willis i did ping my nix ip and even did it with the computername i have for my ubuntu and both works [07:49] anybody here good with macs? [07:50] anybody? [07:50] DigitalKiwi: Not experienced at all, and I admit it, I hate reading docs, i like to run before I can walk....terible i know [07:50] DPic, wrong forum? [07:50] lazy even....

[07:51] oh then i would definitely hold off on arch, though it may interest you in the future, for now hmmm...crunchbang looks interesting (ubuntu based) [07:52] it uses openbox =D [07:52] arch> crunchbang? Linux flavours? [07:52] right [07:52] in the disk tool: I see that the Read Error Count is constantly increasing.

[07:55] Wolfenstein: yea. Ping works via name and ip. Thats a good sign. There should be some samba logs in /var/log somewhere. You could tail -f, the log, and try to connect via windows and see if the connection is rejected/tried/shown at all. [07:55] the far north part, so far north I'm actually in the united states [07:55] godstar: trying to wipe mac osx for ubuntu [07:55] I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and let it use 50GB of my hard drive and just installed it a few minutes ago, but when I try to install stuff or updates, it says not enough disc space...

[07:57] what do you mean that it should be basic? [07:57] DPic: try to burn download the ISO again, and burn a new CD. Then use the default settings via the installer and see how that goes.

[08:01] DPic: wipe the HDD then run Ubuntu. That's what I would do. [08:02] godstar: alright i'll try it [08:02] lucas_: happens a lot more often than it should [08:02] DPic: I'll be around.

[08:04] is down* [08:04] Is there a way to upgrade to karmic from jaunty? [08:04] firecrotch: if packages.ubuntu.com is down i still can download packages? [08:04] or do I have to wait for the official release first? [08:04] firecrotch, yes but i didn't do nothing in the windows side all i was doing before was typing in run was this command //computername/Downloads or if it wasn't downloads it was /user and i mean my user on ubuntu [08:04] If somoene has a free minute please let me know, I need some help, (new Linux user here) [08:05] lucas_: There are mirrors that you can use - I don't know the addresses offhand though [08:05] hello [08:05] brambo, just write your qestions and someone will answer if they know [08:05] shentino, you can upgrade [08:05] shentino: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/beta [08:05] ubottu, upgrade | shentino [08:05] shentino: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [08:05] Wolfenstein: and its the same ubuntu install as before, correct? just the windows install is new? [08:05] Can anyone tell me why my mouse quits clicking after awhile on ubuntu? [08:06] Wolfenstein: or do I have that backwards? [08:06] shentino, but Karmic questions should still go to #ubuntu+1, thanks [08:06] I mean upgrading with synaptic or the like [08:06] Able to move it but no clicky :( [08:06] firecrotch, just windows i didn't touch ubuntu at all as in reformating i only reformatted windows [08:06] I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 32bit on my laptop it has a 250GB, I let Ubuntu use 50GB, and now Ubuntu is asking to update then saying there isn't enough disc space..How is this? I can paste the error code I get. [08:06] Wolfenstein: Hmm... did you try ///user ? [08:07] if at all possible try to avoid Samba [08:08] brambo, open a terminal and write "df -h" too see the amount of diskspace [08:08] mzz^purple [08:08] Hello Chan [08:09] hi [08:09] any one know how to restart drives after i have made changes to fstab file [08:09] darksmack sudo mount -a [08:09] brambo@brandans-laptop:~$ df -h [08:09] Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on [08:09] /dev/sda5 2.3G 2.2G 284K 100% / [08:09] tmpfs 880M 0 880M 0% /lib/init/rw [08:09] varrun 880M 108K 880M 1% /var/run [08:09] brambo_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[08:10] brambo use a paste bin [08:10] lol [08:10] well it seems your ubuntu partition is only 2.3 Gb [08:10] too late as per usual === ce_metal_cord is now known as mzz^purple [08:10] brambo, you could always rb your box and Ubuntu should auto mount hdds for you. [08:10] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/284376/ [08:10] but picked for it to use 50GB [08:11] brambo you only allocated 2.3 gb to Ubuntu, it needs bare min of 4gb(thats a very bare min) [08:11] weird, something must have gone wrong then because df says your /-partition is only 2.3 Gb [08:11] firecrotch, no i didn't let me try that [08:11] I installed it alongside Windows Vista, and slide the bar over to let Ubuntu have 50GB.. [08:11] How can I fix it, format and do it over? [08:12] brambo something didn't go as planned [08:12] I don't know, maybe gparted can extend the partition? [08:12] brambo, did you use Wubi? [08:12] otherwise I guess a reinstall is in order [08:12] I am not sure how to use that, I am brand new to Linux [08:12] brambo backup all data that is important to you, then do a reinstall, use 8.04 LTS unless there is some reason you need a later version === cWiiu is now known as tWii [08:12] godstar: I booted off the Ubuntu disc from my BIOS === tWii is now known as cWii [08:13] firecrotch, i did that and it comes up with the same problem not finding it [08:13] brambo, can you boot back to your Windows OS? [08:13] I cant use 8.04 only 9.04 works on my laptop... [08:13] starcannon, better recommend the latest stable, i.e. 9.04 [08:13] yes I can godstar [08:13] Wolfenstein: make sure that the folders are still shared on your ubuntu machine? that's the last thing that I can think of [08:14] Tmi nah, its a tweenlease, I only recommend LTS unless a tween adds hardware support that the enduser needs, and brambo just stated he/she needs 9.04 for that reason [08:14] I guess the problem is you wont have enough space to even install gparted (partition manager), so you should probably just do a reinstall [08:14] hello ,my grub menu shows 2 kernels ...how do i remove one? [08:14] firecrotch, um i don't think i did that i only did things in the samba config file [08:14] brambo, I suggest you boot back into Windows, reformat Ubuntu partition with DiskMgr and use the Wubi installer. http://wubi-installer.org/ [08:14] Hello, gparted is whining about changing partions may cause dataloss, but I want to lose my data and completely empty my drive, I can't seem to figure out how to do that data is still there. [08:14] I can just go in Windows and totally delete Ubuntu and the partition it made and do it over, cause I dont know how to reinstall Ubuntu [08:14] brambo, wubi is easier to use for new converts. [08:15] brambo, wubi. [08:15] Wolfenstein: I think the problem lies with your Windows install somewhere. Is it Vista, XP, or 7? [08:15] firecrotch, its xp [08:15] Lartza_ backup data before messing with partitions, this is where sanity lives; do otherwise and you will testdisk [08:15] hello ,my grub menu shows 2 kernels ...how do i remove one? [08:15] use the WuBi installer from Windows? [08:15] Doesn't that make Ubuntu slower? [08:15] brambo, that is correct. [08:15] Wolfenstein: up to date with service pack 3 and all that good stuff? [08:15] starcannon: Backed up and I want to format the partition now, but the data is staying there no matter what [08:15] firecrotch, and never had a problem before but i didn't mess with samba config file [08:16] firecrotch, yep [08:16] I have formatted partition, deleted and made new partition [08:16] hi [08:16] Ouch... do I need to possibly make new partition table? [08:16] brambo, it is your best option, until you get the hang of Ubuntu. [08:16] got a bunch of upgrades yesterday [08:16] Would that do it? [08:16] and my touchpad doesn't work anymore [08:16] Wolfenstein: well, it has to be some kind of problem with your Windows install. Unfortunately, I'm way out of the loop when it comes to Windows stuff now [08:16] godstar: Wait, Wubi actually uses that ancient boot loader, that loads from a Windows/Dos partition? [08:16] (i can't use my touchpad to move the cursor) [08:17] I've installed Ubuntu the same way I just did a few minutes ago before and had no problems, this time somehow even tho I picked 50GB, it didnt do it? [08:17] Lartza_ I'll help you in PM look left [08:17] draconis: Hes just that sexy [08:17] firecrotch, no problem a friend who helped me begin with isn't around and i don't know why its not working so no worries [08:17] i have "synaptics driver lost sync.... got giantic packet!" [08:17] draconis: correct, but it is a good option. [08:17] and "query no synaptics: 000000" [08:17] in my Xorg.0.log [08:17] google isn't helping [08:17] draconis: brambo is new to linux. [08:18] I will just totally delete Ubuntu and try installing it again...That's the easiest way I know how to do it since Im new to Linux totally [08:18] brambo_: Whats wrong? [08:18] zeeded: I installed Ubuntu a few mins ago, and selected it to use 50GB of my hard drive but now its saying I dont have enough space to update my stuff [08:18] brambo, thats probably your best option yes, check one extra time that the partition size is correct and you should get it running nicely :) [08:19] Tmi: I hope so :) [08:19] brambo_: If you want to make sure its not something else maybe check gparted? === nareshov is now known as naresh [08:19] if not, a fresh install might be best :/ [08:19] zeeded: I am new to Linux so I dont know how to do what you said. [08:20] zeeded: what is gparted ? [08:20] brambo, in a terminal write "sudo aptitude install gparted" and then type your password when it asks for it [08:20] its GTK+ Partitioning software [08:20] its a partition manager [08:20] This sucks cause I got my Wireless to work this time in Linux, and I gotta delete it and start over again.. [08:20] Tmi: he can not get Ubuntu to boot. [08:20] godstar, I think he is in ubuntu actually [08:21] Tmi: should I paste bin the results? [08:21] if it doesnt even boot then a reinstall is absolutely in order :D [08:21] brambo, yeah do [08:21] * godstar scratches head. [08:21] godstar: yeah, I saw that, I just thought there was an issue with gparted. now that clears it up [08:22] I was under the impression, Ubuntu was not booting for him. [08:22] Tmi: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/284385/ [08:22] nah he is in ubuntu but cant do any updates due to diskspace being used [08:22] brambo, start it by typing "gparted" now (I think) [08:23] yeah but I picked for Ubuntu to use 50GB of my hard drive, its wierd... [08:23] brambo, is this a live cd session or no? [08:23] I dont know much about the program itself, but you might be able to extend partitions in there [08:23] no, not LiveCD, the system is installed [08:23] kk [08:23] In that case. [08:23] Gparted it is. [08:23] Tmi: did you get my pastebin? [08:23] godstar, the problem seems to be that it is installed but on a 2.3 Gb partition instead of the intended 50 Gb [08:23] how do you do a screenshot from a term? === ce_metal_cord is now known as LeMOotZz [08:24] brambo, yes, try starting gparted by writing "gparted" [08:24] zeeded, "scrot" [08:24] Tmi: appears so. [08:24] oh, well I am so new to Ubuntu I dunno how to swtich it, so I will have to delete it all and start oveer again I think...:-( [08:24] Since GParted is a powerful tool capable of destroying partition tables and vast amounts of data, only root may run it. [08:24] just try playing around with the options in gparted and see if it is possible to change partition sizes [08:25] brambo, do you remember what size partition you chose for /root, and swap directories? [08:25] hello to any songbird users - I have 9.04 and songbird 1.0, and I have media keys working in Rhythmbox and Totem. - just not in Songbird. Is there a way to fix this? MMkeys didn't do the trick. Thanks === Seveaz is now known as Seveas [08:25] if you want to run as root you write "sudo gparted" [08:25] and enter your password when prompted for it [08:25] I didnt chose anything, I just selected it to install next to Windows Vista and slided a bar to the left so Ubuntu used 50GB [08:26] play with gparted on a virtialbox machine :) to learn its features [08:26] brambo, correct. Honestly, gparted is friendly to learn, however, reload for a beginner will better suited. Book back into Windows, and reformat the Ubuntu partition. When you are ready to reload, let us know we can help you from there. [08:26] godstar: someone new to linux is not going to remember that. Especially an Ubuntu user [08:26] zeeded: good point. [08:26] :) [08:27] I like Linux, how stable it is, I wannna learn it...so I am gonna delete it and reinstall it. [08:27] his / is 2.3 Gb [08:27] zeeded: then again, he could've been paying attention, or better yet wrote down his steps? [08:27] I am getting so angry with Windows.... [08:27] does anyone know of an auto clicker for linux ubuntu GNOME that will just click ever 2 seconds in the same place? [08:27] brambo, yeah that is probably the best option since that will only take about half an hour or so [08:28] godstar: all I did was select time zone and keyoard type etc, and it said starting partition manager, then I slide a bar to the left to select 50GB for Ubuntu instead of deleting Windows, and hit next.. [08:28] Tmi: yeah [08:28] brambo, read my previous post. [08:29] does anyone know of an auto clicker for linux ubuntu GNOME that will just click ever 2 seconds in the same place? [08:29] brambo: before reinstalling. sudo apt-get clean [08:29] blue-frog: I am just deleteing and installing agian, I am not sure how to reinstall [08:30] I am new to Linux [08:30] Thank you all, I am just gotta boot Windows, delete Ubuntu and just install it over again... [08:30] brambo: might be interesting to know if you have those 50G spare which I doubt before reinstaling [08:30] in the morning, I am tired must sleep now.. [08:30] go ahead brambo, that's easier than trying to fix it in other ways [08:30] good luck brambo_ [08:31] thank you zeeded, tmi, godstar, blue-frog [08:31] np bro [08:31] brambo, anytime. [08:31] why d you bneed to boot to winbdows to delete linux? [08:31] np, good luck with your linux adventure tomorrow :) [08:31] the installer can do that. [08:31] Dr Willis: I am new to Linux so I am not sure how, I know how to though in Windows. [08:32] does anyone know of an auto clicker for linux ubuntu GNOME that will just click ever 2 seconds in the same place? [08:32] brambo_: play with the partition tool in the installer.. [08:32] brambo_: actually you could delete it from within a running linux. :) but thats weird... to self destruct the os that way [08:32] Dr_Willis: brambo is concerned with deleting his files on the remaining partition(s), [08:33] Do you guys know of any easy way to set a wallpaper from the term? [08:33] well good luck to him. :) [08:33] is there a GUI SSH tool like WinSCP for linux/ubuntu? [08:33] zeeded: xsetbg, esetroot, or a dozen other commands can do it [08:33] Thank you all I am gonna go now to start the process. [08:34] tehbaut: the normal gnome file manager can connect over ssh and do things. [08:34] thanks Doc [08:34] If I can stay awake to start this, I will come back and let you guys know! :) [08:34] Dr_Willis: ah, cool... so how can I set that up? [08:34] am I allowed to post my yahoo messenger ID here? [08:34] tehbaut: check out the Places--> connect to server. :) logical eh. [08:34] Dr_Willis: how about a nice SSH sync between server and computer? [08:35] brambo_ - i would just IM them [08:35] tehbaut: ssh and rsync can do that. theres also some guy tools - but i rarely use them [08:35] what do I type to message a certain user here like u did me le-foot ? [08:35] tehbaut: unison-gtk [08:35] Dr_Willis: ok, and rsync can be automated, I assume? say every time a file is saved locally, it can sync it? [08:36] brambo_: on the right hand side, find the username and click on 'IM' [08:36] is anyone here familiar with lirc? thanks :) [08:36] tehbaut: ive not used rsync in ages.. thats its main job owever. :) [08:37] tehbaut: you could set up a cron job to sync every 30 min or so [08:37] hmmm [08:37] hi, i am trying to recover some data from hard drive that was in raid1 with ntfs, when i try to mount i get "mount: unknown filesystem type 'isw_raid_member'", any ideas how to mount this thing? === Darren is now known as dmb [08:40] hello..

[09:02] a|3x: I wouldn't count on what I just said working at all, or being able to change it back, or being able to recover it after doing do [09:02] Barnabas: but it also would depend on the type of raid.. there are "non-striped" raids IIRC [09:02] draconis, this is raid 1 [09:02] does anyone know if the developers of programs come in here at all? [09:02] where one side of the raid has not been populated for some reason [09:02] firecrotch: i don't think it will work, i tried -t ntfs-3g and it said invalid ntfs signature or something [09:04] firecrotch: i found something on linux raid and this file system type: http://www.linux-archive.org/fedora-development/276039-new-udev-rule-using-mdadm-isw_raid_member.html === jimmo is now known as Klot === Klot is now known as male [09:05] nutterpc: Some do. === devel is now known as devel-de [09:06] yea [09:06] as I think I may have just solved them a bit of hassle with one of the programs listen in the forums [09:06] I am having a problem with a new ubuntu install.

[09:10] firecrotch: it says pcg-8y1l [09:10] fahadsadah: not that easy I am working off my laptop. My desktop is the one having issues. I can boot in rescue mode off the install cd but I doubt that has an irc client [09:10] Barnabas: It should still be recoverable in some way without the raid controller [09:11] since it is RAID1 [09:11] does anybody have any other suggestions about mounting 'isw_raid_member' filesystem type? [09:11] yaron: Actually, it does. [09:11] Pidgin. [09:11] Which can connect to many forms of communication, including IRC. [09:12] fahadsadah: ok can you give me the command line?

[09:16] ManDay: er, texlive-latex? It's in texlive-latex-bin, but I'm sure that's merely a depends to something else which is more complete [09:16] ah [09:16] how can i get an application (ushare) to load, when using rc.local does not work, nor the session startup manager [09:17] firecrotch, well one way could be to backup the device now using dd [09:17] ManDay: Maybe it's not. texlive-latex-base and then texlive-latex-bin [09:17] then try to change the file system bit [09:17] and mount it [09:17] i do texlive-latex-base [09:17] Barnabas: good suggestion [09:18] a|3x: You should try Barnabas' suggestion. Make a complete backup of the drive using dd [09:18] Anybody having trouble playing dvds and music cds since last kernel update?

[09:20] zvacet: still don't understand what "slip of the pen" means. since i don't use pens and im not good with figures of speeches [09:21] a|3x: You create the backup using dd, then you can try to mount or otherwise change the device using the backup file that you created [09:21] how can i get an application (ushare) to load, when using rc.local does not work, nor the session startup manager === sheyla is now known as yasmin [09:21] How can I delete my data from hd's with gparted [09:21] a|3x: or, you can then try it on the drive, and if you screw up, you can restore the backup to the drive [09:21] Creating new partition table still kept my data [09:21] JNSamuel :typing error then [09:22] firecrotch: mount -o ro -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 sda2 -> NTFS signature is missing [09:22] hi [09:22] firecrotch: so i guess changing type in partition table will not work [09:22] JNSamuel : or writing error [09:22] fahadsadah: ok I tried pastebin.

[09:26] yaron: In the XP entry, move the two map statements to above [09:26] rootnoverify (hd2,0) [09:28] fahadsadah: ok done [09:28] a|3x: basically, if there is a valid filesystem on the drive (and there should be, even if the NTFS signature is missing), that program ought to be able to recover it [09:28] fahadsadah: save the file and reboot? === desperado is now known as asalabala [09:29] firecrotch: i will try it out, thanks a lot for the suggestion [09:30] HEllo there.

[09:31] s0m345soone, whatsmyip.com ? [09:31] um, probably need more information about what kind of modem it is, at the very least [09:31] yaron: Yes.

I don't know how to check.. ifconfig only shows external IP [09:34] Flannel, worked fine with texlive-latex thanks pal [09:34] s0m345soone: what brand and model is your modem?

[09:35] s0m345soone: don't know don't have access to it [09:35] firecrotch: don't know don't have access to it [09:35] firecrotch: doesn't this something to do with pppoeconf? [09:36] Why is IRC dead today [09:36] to determine what's your local IP? [09:36] this server is ghostsville [09:36] s0m345soone, how is it connected to your pc? via ethernet or usb or other? [09:36] Barnabas: ethernet [09:37] fahadsadah: http://paste.ubuntu.com/284443/ [09:38] s0m345soone, you could try to scan your own network to list IPs [09:38] Richard_Martin: it is 5am in the USA :) [09:38] nmap is a good tool [09:39] for example nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 [09:39] would ping scan all the ips on that subnet [09:40] findsmb, and smbtree are handy to 'scan' for fileservers/sambaservers also [09:41] anybody here use mysql? [09:41] Doc_Lappy: I do [09:42] can you tell me how to tell what tables are in a database by the terminal? [09:42] irc://irc.freenode.net/#transmission [09:42] or if doc as a table exists [09:42] and hi again firecrotch [09:43] Doc_Lappy: Hello again! I believe "SHOW TABLES" is what you're looking for [09:43] sorry didn't mean to spam and paste a link.. was just trying to connect to Transmission IRC channell [09:43] Barnabas: what if it's not on this subnet? [09:44] k just type that in when i''am at the mysql> prompt ? [09:44] if your pc and your modem is not on the same subnet they cannot communicate without routing [09:44] aber, /join #transmission [09:44] so perhaps the modem has no IP [09:44] it didn't list any :( [09:44] and is just bridging requests onto the nic in your pc [09:44] Barnabas: yes.. but what if they not on 192.168.1* [09:44] question - my firefox started showing black squares on white pages (randomly) that disappear when I refresh [09:45] so I'll try to create it I guess and see if that works [09:45] ifconfig should show you our subnet and netmask [09:45] CREATE TABLE DOC didn't work :( [09:45] Barnabas: inet addr:90.157.138.126 P-t-P:85.10.0.254 Mask:255.255.255.255 [09:46] have to do some googling I guess to use command line mysql [09:46] Doc_Lappy: I'm having the same issue with my server, now that I've tried it [09:46] Doc_Lappy: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/show-tables.html [09:46] Barnabas: 90.157.138.126 is external [09:46] Doc_Lappy, try #mysql [09:46] s0m345soone, are you sure the modem has any routing capabilities? [09:47] Barnabas: 100% [09:47] the modem has got to be there [09:47] Doc_Lappy, you have to use a database first. [09:47] Barnabas: it has external antena I'm pretty sugre it does :D [09:47] Barnabas: this is modem.. [09:47] I had a sbc modem that pretended to be on a different subnet [09:47] has nothing to do with antenna [09:47] no wait... [09:47] Doc_Lappy, do --> show databases; to list out the databases. [09:48] s0m345soone, I think it directly bridges your external IP onto the nic in your pc [09:48] can i install the karmic gdm in jaunty [09:48] pradeep, no [09:48] joapinto,why so [09:48] yeah so the wireless router had an internal subnet of 192.168.1.x, and then the modem created a subnet of 192.168.2.x, and then external to the modem is where you get the world-visible IP address. So to access the modem's config page, you would go to like 192.168.2.250 [09:49] pradeep, because it was tested, and could break your system do to package requirements [09:49] it was not === stuartfinlay is now known as register [09:49] Hello [09:49] hey [09:49] tmi, godstar, anyone still here?

I created a new user using adduser [09:57] CBro2007: then sudo adduser newuser admin [09:58] yeah you can adduser from terminal and give it pswd [09:58] fancy: depends on what your needs are [09:58] Flannel: that didn't work [09:58] Doc_Lappy: You can do it with theGUI too, I just don't know the exact steps anymore [09:58] I didn't think of that I usually use the gui [09:58] Flannel: do I log in as the admin user and then issue that command? [09:58] anyone help me solve my problem [09:58] for my system [09:58] Flannel: currently logged on as newuser [09:58] CBro2007: You need to be on your admin user, then sudo adduser newuser admin (where "newuser" is the username of your other use) [09:58] so maybe that is the problem? [09:59] cool [09:59] lemme try that out [09:59] CBro2007: you can't give yourself higher privledges ;) [09:59] hehehe yeah :) [10:00] fancy: If your system is just a desktop system, you really don't need a firewall. Ubuntu ships with services listening on any ports by default [10:00] fancy: sorry - no services listening on any ports [10:00] well from what I remember your login name you start with is even higher than root to give out privledges and can give yourself priveledges or take them away under users and groups, under admin and under system [10:01] so that's how I always did it with gui [10:01] Doc_Lappy: There is nothing higher than root... [10:01] firecrotch there is always liveCD, it owns even root :) [10:01] well you have to give root a password though firecrotch [10:02] can anyone seperately message me, that can help me with the worst sound problem ever >.< [10:02] lol starcannon [10:02] true [10:02] starcannon: true, physical access > root [10:02] sound? sorry downstar don't know anything about fixing sound [10:03] my sound is broken like no other [10:03] :/ [10:03] mines always worked by default [10:03] The only secure hard drive, unfortunately requires a blow torch and 10 minutes of time. [10:03] well, mine did when i first install ubuntu. [10:03] downstar: perhaps if you explain what the problem is someone can help you [10:03] okay [10:03] thank you .. i understood [10:03] well undo what you did if you can remember downstar [10:04] otherwise I don't know other than google if nobody else here knows [10:04] is it in your devices [10:04] downstar, I have used this guide with great result: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=776739 [10:04] I forget the terminal cmd for showing devices [10:04] Hello!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:05] yeah that's it I need to write that down somewhere firecrotch [10:05] brambo: [10:05] i installed ubuntu about a week ago, and my sound was fine. then i downloaded wine and a bunch of crap, and my sound went out, out of nowhere, so i reinstalled cause i couldnt figure it out. and now with a fresh install (2nd time) i have a horrible screeching sound instead of my music thats supposed to be playing [10:06] Doc_Lappy I really like lshw as well. sudo lshw -html > ~/Desktop/hardware.html is a great command [10:06] Thanks. I got today's security update, but it took nearly an hour just to D/L with a 5mb dsl [10:06] Hi, I deleted all partitions to Ubuntu since I gotta reinstall it, but it is still telling me in the Partition manager I have several operating systems installedt [10:06] How do I start from scratch? [10:06] Scorch 9.10 beta released on the first, the servers are slammed, it will be a few days until speed improves [10:06] ubuntu_: cant u use the partition manager manually and erase the partitions altogether? [10:07] Empathy > Contact List > Help > Debug reports: "empathy/Account-DEBUG: 1.254544e+09: account_manager_name_owner_cb: Name owner changed for org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager, new name: :1.67." What does the message »Name owner changed for org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager« mean? [10:07] downstar I deleted the partitions but they are still there.. [10:07] I have swap, and two installs of Ubuntu 9.04 it says...then windows [10:07] Ok I had the updates on automatic. I thought there was a prob with my side [10:07] ubuntu as long as you do a new install and make sure to use the default 'use entire disk' it shouldn't matter [10:07] did you continue to install? cause if you delete the partitions, but dont go through with the install, it doesnt erase them :(. i tryed the same thing. [10:07] Scorch prolly not, its just that time of the year :) [10:08] I don't wanna use the entire disc, I have another OS on my hard drive I am keeping. [10:08] Alongside Ubuntu [10:08] oh well use the advanced option or whatever then [10:08] Cool! I'm an XP refugee and still haven't gotten used to nirvana [10:08] and slide how much over that you want to keep [10:08] Scorch it will happen again next year 4th month of 2010, release 10.04 [10:09] I tried the advanced options, I am at that screen now, im on LiveCD session [10:09] cwillu_: '~$ lsb_release; No LSB modules are available.' [10:09] I just need to delete and get rid of the partitions swap /dev/sda6 dev/sda5 and another Ubuntu one thats there n do a new install along side my other OS. [10:09] does anybody know how to fix the following sound issue? - the gnome-sound-properties don't start, neither does the volume manager, and when I try to start them manually i get errors instead... still the sound DOES work in the guest account.. [10:09] well go into the install and where it says use entire disk below is a choice to not use entire disk [10:09] any ideas? [10:10] bullgard: lsb_release -a [10:10] and if its winxp or something it should show it there as a different colour [10:10] That's for the full ubuntu new release, yes? This was a security update and it was just weird [10:10] I would slide over what I wanna keep, but theres is 3 diff Ubuntu partitions still existing I need to delete [10:10] first [10:10] I have Win Vista [10:10] and it dont see the Linux partitions [10:11] ah I see [10:11] i tried reinstalling gnome-sound properties and alsa but it doesn't help [10:11] archy008 sounds like you got a bad local config file. You could try archiving all of the ~/.* folders, and then one at a time putting them back until you find the culprit [10:11] k [10:11] I just wanna get this installed before I head off to sleep and finish it up tomorrow... [10:11] starcannon: I see... is that the only solution? [10:11] couldnt he just try this command sudo alsa force-reload [10:11] archy008 check out this post, it makes pulse work more better http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=776739 [10:11] how can I burn audo cd using console commands? [10:11] but I gotta find out how to delete these partitions [10:12] starcannon thanks [10:12] how to set up default gateway in ubuntu [10:12] archy008, no not the only solution, just the one that came to me first. Deductive reasoning could make the list of folders to do that to shorter, that and google [10:12] is everyone here using onboard sound? or do you guys have sound cards too? [10:12] onboard here [10:13] laptop [10:13] I also want to hook-up my HD TV to the computer. My M/B supports it and there is HDMI port on both ends. Do I just plug it in? [10:13] downstar onboard here, and it sounds fantastic [10:13] starcannon somebody told me I should delete the .gnome folder.. [10:13] going into grub /boot/grub/menu.lst will fix your grub problems if it causes grub to not come up but as far as del partitions of repeated installs of ubuntu you may have to just install vista again and then do a dual boot of ubuntu again [10:13] downstar I have my sound going out to a Marants 2270 amp :) [10:13] starcannon although i'm not sure about that... [10:14] How do I delete all partitions that Ubuntu made in the Partition manager during install so all I see is the NTFS Win Vista section, and can re install Ubuntu over? [10:14] if you guys load gnome-volume-control and go to your pref. tab and add switches, do you get an option to check or uncheck something called IEC958? [10:14] that or might google del partitions on ubuntu and see if you can do it from terminal somehow [10:14] archy008 I'd archive it, reboot (a new one will be auto created) and see if that fixes it. Then inside the folder, I'd 1 at a time replace the individual files ommiting any that replicate the problem [10:14] install vista again? that will take a while.... [10:14] ubuntu_: you should be able to do that during the ubuntu install iirc otherwise use gparted [10:14] oh man. [10:14] starcannon I see [10:14] let me see if I can help you google another option [10:14] Kk I'm back [10:15] iceroot: 'Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)' is not detailed enough. [10:15] but that's what I ended up doing when I made that mistake once [10:15] archy008 the only reason I'd archive it is to give me the chance to a: find out the cause, and b: preserve as many of my custom settings as possible [10:15] jrib can i use GParted when on Live session user ? [10:15] ubuntu_: yes [10:15] i installed boxee but typing 'boxee' in terminal tells me 'command not fonud'. any clues? [10:15] jrib it says Command not found [10:15] when I type it in Terminal [10:15] starcannon ok so if I got it right - I should archive all the folders from home back them up somewhere - delete them from the home folder and then restart [10:16] anyone want to help on the age old battle of mass renaming files via command line? [10:16] ah I have gparted cd that's probably pretty old now but didn't know how to use it [10:16] ubuntu_: well first, why aren't you just doing it during the install process if you are able to? [10:16] Slurpee use the mv command [10:16] looking for a simple 1 liner to rename all files in a directory to remove a space [10:16] ive been searching for the past hour [10:16] !ask | Slurpee [10:16] Slurpee: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:16] how to set up default gateway in ubuntu [10:16] jrib its not giving me a option to delete them in the install process [10:16] people have so many wacky bash scripts [10:16] ubuntu_: type "gparted" all lowercase [10:17] jrib he just messed up I'd say and didn't finish the install then started the install over again [10:17] archy008 I'd likely start by trying archiving just the ~/.gnome folder as previously suggested, you can always archive other folders if that doesn't do it. Remember ~/ is home, and . (dot) prefix is hidden CTRL+H reveals them [10:17] try using mv 'name of file' 'new name of file' [10:17] actually ~/ is users home [10:17] that was for Slurpee* [10:17] error: libhal_acquire_global_interface_lock: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.InterfaceAlreadyLocked: The interface org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage is already exclusively locked either by someone else or it's already locked by yourself [10:17] ~/ == /home/username [10:17] What is the best way to connect to an hdtv? I've installed both Banshee and movie player and have hdmi connections. Is it as simple as connecting the 2? [10:17] how to use the mv command? [10:17] there is a lot of ways [10:18] are you on root ubuntu? [10:18] Slurpee: why not just tell the channel what you are trying to do? [10:18] you want to just rename a file via Command Line correct? [10:18] starcannon ok, thanks a lot. I'll give it a try [10:18] Doc_Lappy Im on a Live CD Session [10:18] i installed boxee but typing 'boxee' in terminal tells me 'command not fonud'. any clues? [10:18] don't understand live cd should be on root default [10:18] okay first time to use a remote access tool for getting to me linbox. I used this guide: http://www.zimbio.com/Linux/articles/lA4qecuC6Lc/How+install+setup+TightVNC+Debian+Ubuntu+Tutorial [10:18] i am using images as an example. I am trying to organize all my folders on a remote server. must be CLI. [10:18] arch008 cool I'm by the same handle on ubuntuforums.org be sure to let me know how you make out if you don't catch me in here later [10:18] birthday (2).JPG birthday (3).JPG birthday (4).JPG birthday (5).JPG birthday.JPG [10:18] Slurpee: try the man page "man mv" also you can make an test dir with test files to mv some files [10:18] Slurpee: one line please... [10:18] see how files have space? [10:18] that's what I thought you said, so I don't understand the error msg....hmmm [10:19] hello people [10:19] I want to remove the spaces from all of the files [10:19] Slurpee: 's/ //' [10:19] replace spaces with _ [10:19] archy008 cool I'm by the same handle on ubuntuforums.org be sure to let me know how you make out if you don't catch me in here later [10:19] Slurpee: 's/ /_/' [10:19] Only problem is I have no : /$HOME/.vnc/xstartup [10:19] I just need to delete these partitions so I can install Ubuntu again.... :-S [10:19] so when I type sudo xemacs /$HOME/.vnc/xstartup [10:19] mv s/ /_/ [10:19] ? [10:19] I get an error [10:20] Slurpee: no. You asked about the "rename" command, didn't you? [10:20] I guess I asked a stupid question. [10:20] yes and for good practice if your into programming you may also use like exampleFile.txt [10:20] making the second word caps [10:20] louis open Places>Home Folder then press CTRL+H and look for the .vnc folder, just to double check if its there, and if so whats inside it [10:20] Slurpee juse use the mv command so IE: mv Birthday (2).JPG Birthday(2).JPG [10:20] jrib any command to do it. I have been playing witha few....rename, mv, mmv [10:20] that's what I prefer than a underline myself [10:20] i want it to change all of the files in a directory [10:20] i am talking thousands of pictures [10:20] Slurpee: use rename -nv 's/ /_/' FILE1 FILE2 ... [10:21] starcannon - one more question - I have more gnome folders - .gnome, .gnome2 and .gnome2_private [10:21] rename -nv 's/ /_/' * ? [10:21] slurpee what are you wanting to do with the files? [10:21] I have Windows Vista installed and Ubuntu, whats the easiest way to delete ubuntu and the partitions all together as tho Ubuntu was never on my drive? [10:21] remove spaces with _ [10:21] so I can install again [10:21] Slurpee: yes, that will just tell you what it would do. Remove the -n to actually do it [10:21] starcannon what does that mean? and the .gnome is empty.. well it has only an apps folder with some google earth .desktop file [10:21] archy008 its probably statistically advantageous to do them one at a time till you find the problem child [10:21] i just installed latest kernel for ubuntu,feels great ,but ati fglrx drivers still are slow as hell, i went back to default ati drivers, i have a asus 4850 ,will they ever fix those issues ? [10:21] rename -v 's/ /_/' [10:21] ubuntu_: insert the install cd and create all partitions new [10:22] Slurpee: If you want to translate all spaces not just "a space", then append 'g' to your replacement command... [10:22] oh ouch, ya I don't know how to do that in a simple cmd [10:22] Slurpee: run it with -n first. [10:22] ? [10:22] but that leaves the old partitions there when I do that...I am at the install screen now [10:22] Slurpee: I have no idea what your question mark is for. Do you have a question? [10:22] yes [10:22] Slurpee: then just ask it [10:22] archy008 r-click the folder choose "create archive" then after its finished, delete the source folder; reboot and see if it's fixed; when you find the folder that is guilty, start going through its files in a similar fashion [10:22] can you tell me the command? [10:22] should be a way though with wildcard and a rename cmd somehow, good luck slurpee [10:23] Slurpee: I told you the command already and you repeated it to me. [10:23] not sure what you mean by append 'g' [10:23] the question is , ati drivers work very well at 8.04 ubuntu ,but not in 9.04 or 9.10 even with the latest kernel, why is that ? [10:23] see I have found like 20 methods of doing this [10:23] Slurpee: you ever heard of an sed command? [10:23] all totally differnt [10:23] Slurpee: did you read what else I told you when I told you you might want to append 'g'? Is that what you want or not? [10:23] yes, i have heard of the streamline eidtor [10:23] louis looks like you don't have the default user folder for vnc, have you run vnc yet? [10:23] !who | Slurpee [10:23] Slurpee: 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 :) [10:24] louis you need to run vnc once in order for it to create the folder [10:24] louis try that now [10:24] starcannon got it.. thanks for helping a newbie [10:24] archy008 my pleasure GL and HF [10:24] starcannon btw - here is the detailed problem described on the forum - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1279408 [10:25] archy008 cool, well done searching the problem, those forums are invaluable if your having issues, as is this channel [10:25] kk any idea on the command? [10:25] Slurpee: in the directory that you want to rename the files in: rename -v 's/\ /\_/g' * [10:25] Slurpee: it will change all spaces into underscores [10:25] yes! [10:25] that did it [10:25] OK, I deleted all Ubuntu Partitions but when I press back, it still says I have several operating systems installed...How is this? [10:25] louis the command to run vnc? Applications>Sound & Video>VNC [10:26] thank you firecrotch [10:26] Slurpee: You're welcome :) [10:26] i dont understand how i can get simplite to run trough wine ... i get the config option up, but when i try to run simplite.exe it doesnt start .. whats this? [10:26] starcannon right.. oh, that was me who posted that problem. ok, I'm gonna try archiving the gnome folders. [10:26] and simpserver is too unstable [10:27] archy008 lol cool, hehe [10:27] don't know how you figured that one out but good job firecrotch [10:27] assume you cheated and googled it lol [10:27] okay here it is : /home/louis/.vnc/xstartup [10:28] Doc_Lappy the one with the best google fu is the master of the chan :) [10:28] lol starcannon [10:28] Doc_Lappy: Hehe actually it was in my .bash_history [10:28] How come even after I deleted the Ubuntu Partitions in the install menu it still says they are there? [10:28] louis there ya go, not sure what you were up to, but theres your file you were looking for :) [10:28] I see firecrotch [10:28] firecrotch: you don't need to escape the space or the underscore by the way [10:29] how to share internet connection between ubuntu and vista? i have ubuntu desktop with internet and vista on my laptop. i can ping each computer and share folders using winscp. however unable to share internet connection [10:29] !inetsharing | nikhil_ [10:29] nikhil_: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [10:29] louis doh, right, I just use xtightvnc for that [10:30] louis xtightvncviewer is the command to launch it the way i do it [10:30] jrib: ah, you're absolutely correct. I dunno why I did [10:30] that only changes the grub menu if I understand you right ubuntu, taking them off /boot/grub/menu.lst doesn't remove the partitions just doesn''t show them [10:30] at least that's what I assume your doing [10:30] louis xtightvnc is available in System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager [10:30] instead of actually removing the partitions [10:31] I wanted to access my desktop from school /w KDE and thats the guide on how to get a GUI Session instead of a remote Bash prompt lol [10:31] i have another rename question :)......say I had the files "birthday_(2).JPG birthday_(3).JPG birthday_(4).JPG birthday_(5).JPG birthday.JPG". how could I rename the files "birthday_(0002).JPG birthday_(0003).JPG ....... birthday_(0010).JPG birthday_(0011).JPG birthday.JPG" [10:31] louis you do know that Ubuntu has a remote desktop client built in for vnc and for rdp right? [10:31] is there a way I can search the string for values of numbers? then replace the number incrementally? [10:32] nope [10:32] Slurpee: um, you don't want the numbers to be consistent? 3 --> 0003? instead of 3 --> 0002 in case there is no 2? [10:32] yea [10:32] thats what I meant [10:32] can anyone give an answer? [10:32] Slurpee: which one? [10:32] anyone? [10:32] instead of inserting the _ you should be able to put in two 00 Slurpee but I don't kknow [10:32] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14. that messed up files names [10:32] Point me in the general direction of the software name for those?

I'm worried that it will make my computer use the new Ubuntu's GRUB bootloader.. how can I force it to use the old Ubuntu's bootloader? I'm doing this so I can play around with ATI's many drivers without blocking my ability to do schoolwork. I still have Vista on here too, but it's slow. [10:33] Remote is best for VNC, and TCS is best for RDP [10:33] What the!! I deleted all the partitions except my NTFS Win Vista one but it still says I have 2 installs of Ubuntu and a swap space on there??? [10:33] RDP==Windows generally [10:33] question - my firefox started showing black squares on white pages (randomly) that disappear when I refresh [10:33] whats going on, please help... [10:33] I doubt you can do that without doing it by hand but who knows someone here may know a trick [10:33] Slurpee: you need to address people you are answering or it gets pretty confusing. You answered "yes" to my 3 questions so I have no idea what you meant by that "yes" [10:34] ubuntu explain more [10:34] so, i switched to my onboard sound, from my rocketfish 5.1 soundcard, and i actually have sound now.... suggestions for my sound card to work? === ola is now known as Guest45248 [10:34] directories are listed.....photo88, photo 89, photo8, photo90, photo91. [10:34] i installed boxee but typing 'boxee' in terminal tells me 'command not fonud'. any clues? [10:34] are you using the gparted cd like someone said earlier [10:34] louis if you want another to be able to get to your computer, enable Remote Desktop through System>Preferences>Remote Desktop [10:34] owen1: how did you install it? [10:34] or just the live 9.4 cd [10:34] heh, I'll ask again at a quieter time XD [10:34] my printer bleeds all colors badly [10:35] its called KRDC under KDE 4.3 [10:35] Can someone PM me and help guide my through setting up the proper partitions manually for installing Ubuntu please? [10:35] how do i adjust this in ubuntu?

[10:35] if i have a dark color and some lighter spots it will just all look allmost black [10:35] the lighter parts are completely invisible [10:35] starcannon: be careful with opening up standard ports like that, people will find it and see what they can do with your computer [10:36] Slurpee: um, you don't want the numbers to be consistent? 3 --> 0003? instead of 3 --> 0002 in case there is no 2? [10:36] Natovr: There's no reason that I know of that you can't just let it reinstall GRUB [10:36] stsm change your transparency? [10:36] adnguen1 one should always turn off servers when they are not in use, and close ports when the job is done; thats security 101 right there ;) [10:36] Can someone PM me and help guide my through setting up the proper partitions manually for installing Ubuntu please?? I am falling asleep here, tired I just wanna get this installed... [10:36] Slurpee, there are command-line tools for that sort of sequential renaming - check gthumb for a photo batch renaming gui, though [10:36] Doc_Lappy, i was hoping this was covered in the printing settings, its not conveniant to make stuff transparent before printing [10:36] starcannon: or just just use VPN and never open it at all. :) [10:36] firecrotch, hmm, I'd just like it to be on the old Ubuntu so I can modify it easily, and so on... [10:37] Slurpee, f-spot might have a similar function, but i can't stand f-splat and never use it :) [10:37] andguen1 if one is asking basic questions, then I assume VPN is outside the scope of the conversation [10:37] jrib, i don't want the first photo starting with 0. i want each photo to be the real number...."photo 1" will be photo-0001.jpg" [10:37] ubuntu_: it dosent ahve to be complex. a / and a swap partition are about all you need.. or let the installer auto-partion. [10:37] hi [10:37] oh stsm nevermind I thought you meant your screen [10:37] firecrotch, and if my new ubuntu breaks from some sort of weird thing I did (which I will do with it), I might lose the ability to modify GRUB. [10:37] starcannon: Try Hamachi VPN, ridiculously easy to use, easier then opening up router ports [10:37] andguen1 not being flaming or anything, just explaining my reasoning [10:38] Natovr: At the very last screen of the installer, before you commit to installing, there is an "Advanced" button, which has the option to not install GRUB [10:38] Ahhh, right [10:38] Slurpee: you aren't understanding my question I guess. Say you have photo1 photo2 and photo4. Do you want these to be renamed to photo0001 photo0002 and photo0004 or do you want them to be renamed to photo0001 photo0002 and photo0003 [10:38] Dr_Willis it doesn't wanna auto partition, it thinks I still have several operating systems installed though I deleted all partitions [10:38] adnguen1 for real? cool, I'll definitely look at that, afk a minute while I google [10:38] starcannon: No worries, same. :) [10:38] Thank you, firecrotch ^_^ [10:38] Doc_Lappy, if you meant my screen it still doesnt make any sense lol [10:38] Natovr: Note that when you're done installing, you'll have to manually create the GRUB entry for your new install [10:38] OK then [10:38] photo0001 photo0002 and photo0003 [10:38] ubuntu_: delete them leaving the space unallocated.. then reboot. so the system sees the changes to the drive. Ive seen some boxs/cases where it dosent see the new partition layout untill a reboot. [10:39] Thanks very much ^^ [10:39] adnguen1 $199/yr ouch [10:39] Natovr: You're very welcome :) === beachbrake is now known as Guest68720 [10:39] I'll just keep doing it the old way hehe [10:39] free [10:39] starcannon: Hamachi VPN is like joining a chat room, and then having full network access to any box in said room. The version I'm using is free..... [10:39] Slurpee: are you trying to re-re-name the files that we already removed the spaces from? [10:39] :) [10:39] adnguen1 ah fricken sweet, okies I'll dig deeper === Guest68720 is now known as almagest_divine [10:40] starcannon: should be free for up to 16 computers in one "room" [10:40] i had some files with spaces. now that the spaces are removed. I am making them all lowwer case. now I want to number them correctly. [10:40] afk whilst I explore hamachi [10:40] Dr_Willis oh ok! Thank you sir, I will try that! Hopefully it will say install beside windows after reboot instead of "you have several operating systems installed" like it does now. [10:40] lol stsm well nevermind I guess I was thinking of the control panels that you can change transparency on I did that once on accident and couldn't read my contol panel icons lol that's what I was thinking of, ya the screen is just a pic not sure which option ubuntu has for like centered, tiled, stretch, etc [10:40] hi [10:41] starcannon: heads up, last time I looked there was no integrated linux GUI [10:41] Doc_Lappy, aaaah gnome-panel, now i know what you mean [10:41] I'm tired stsm please don't laugh at me :( [10:41] Slurpee: you want them to be in the format photo_0001.jpg, photo_0002.jpg, etc? [10:41] yes [10:41] how do i set my printer to use less ink please? [10:41] Guest7436: hi, if you have a question, feel free to go ahead and ask it, just keep everything to one line so we can read it :) [10:41] it uses far too much ink [10:41] !coffee | Doc_Lappy [10:41] Doc_Lappy: coffee is a caffeinated beverage made by filtering hot water through ground up roasted beans of the coffee plant. Flavouring to taste such as milk or cream, sugar or sweetener are often added afterwards. Not to be confused with !java [10:41] ;) [10:42] what kind of printer is it stsm [10:42] <--I want some coffee !!! :) [10:42] if it's hp then when you install the drivers or cd if you have one that is for linux which I think I did and lost I think it gives you some options but not sure how much [10:43] Hey the Partitions came back after I deleted them!!!??? [10:43] does anyone knows how to fix the slow issue with the ati drivers [10:43] Doc_Lappy, psc2105, i had to use hpoj, hplip didnt work for some reason [10:43] may be a bit complicated to adjust that with terminal [10:43] How???

[10:44] i am documenting them :) [10:44] ubuntu_: if you want the whole drive completely wiped, look into dban (dariks boot and nuke). Its a very dangerous utility, but if you want a really really clean drive, its a great free way to get it done [10:44] I'm not very familiar with printer settings I just got mine hooked up the other day a hp copy/printer so now I can upload my drawings to my personal website [10:45] Slurpee: when in doubt, build a text file that has "mv filename1.txt filename2.txt", then do find replace on that file until you have all commands the way you want them [10:45] opengl is nvidia ati has it's own -- you can use there propriatary drivers [10:45] andguen1 I am looking to install Ubuntu along side Windows Vista like I had it, I already had it installed earlier but it installed to the wrong partition, so I have to delete it all and install it again... [10:45] i tried printing both as RGB and CMYK, both have this problem [10:45] Slurpee: if you want to go nuts with command line, use perl find/replace on said text file [10:45] dark colors just become black [10:46] its a really stupid problem [10:46] andguen1: just remember it is a VERY dangerous utility I wiped a hd off with it and couldn't get anything installed back on it for some reason [10:46] yes but noone is listening [10:46] http://code.bulix.org/78qixu-72312 [10:46] well im trying something so gotta reboot thanks all [10:46] i am going to document a bunch of simple commands to help anyone organize a ton of mp3s [10:46] Slurpee: the hard bits.

"A bash scripter went into a bar... bash: bar: command not found" [10:49] starcannon: I was told later by peers to just do a dualboot with winxp pro last edition and ubuntu for what I want [10:50] make sure it lists the propriatary driver not the free one [10:50] atari2600a: If you keep your whole question to one line. It makes things easier for us to read. Can you use a pastebin to show us your 'lspci' command output and give us the link to the pastebin? [10:50] just wondering what vmware is and why use a virtual machine [10:50] any perks to doing that which I'm not aware of [10:50] andguen1: I cannot.

I'm mostly looking for a model number. [10:52] numbers are incrementing higher as I test the command [10:52] not starting at 1 for some reason [10:52] Doc_Lappy I run all my windows apps using Wine, including Office 2007 (fully functional) and a whole wack of other apps, indeed I only use virtualbox when I need it to deal with a clients windows centric issue [10:52] Slurpee: that one is going to give you a problem with more than 10 files [10:52] so I'm in agreement with you there [10:52] Slurpee: because you are just pasting things into your terminal without understanding what they do.

I trying to compile apache and my doubt is. if I change the --prefix when I'll install apache the serverroot match with the prefix ? [11:20] Ali_nz: any error msg ?

[11:24] aaron11: sorry, this channel is not related to system76 at all. But they have an active section at ubuntuforums that is monitered by the company. I suggest you use e-mail to contact them however [11:24] O__o: although the package names are a bit complicated. theyre like com.bigboss.actualname so its often easier to install the package over the frontent [11:24] firecrotch: http://code.bulix.org/odh4wg-72313 [11:24] it starts numberings aat 59 60 61, not 1 2 3 4 [11:24] !system76 [11:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about system76 [11:24] erUSUL: it is fine but when playing flash videos it stays at half usage. and that makes it hard to watch some videos.

[11:33] Slurpee: kind of, in 's/FOO/BAR/g' the FOO is what you want to replace and the BAR is what you want to replace it with (leave empty to just delete). Remember add -n to check that the command does what you want without actually doing it. Then if it does what you want, you can run it without -n to actually do it [11:34] Slurpee: keep in mind that any of the back slashes there are "protecting" the character after it to make sure it is counted as part of the text rather than part of the command [11:34] hey guys, quick favour needed.

[11:39] jrib: there were some 3rd party ones, cant recall the names of em [11:39] {Onyx}: define "bad thing" [11:39] jo88: also check out hamachi vpn or logmein.com software -- logmein is a very nice alternative to VNC [11:40] <{Onyx}> Was messing around with a boot disc flipping around the menus and messed up grub. Now why I try and boot from HDD it just has a bunch of grab over and over on the screen [11:40] tx, I tried the ddclient with Opendns but he just didn't update, but I will try the openvpn [11:40] bam! grawity rules [11:40] Ali_nz: there are many... htop if you want something in the terminal. Maybe you want something like conky for your desktop [11:40] jo88: OpenDNS isn't the same thing as DynDNS...

When I detect disks it says "one or more drives containing serial ata raid configurations have been found. activate?" but whether I say yes or no, the next partition step does not list any disks! [11:41] jo88: nevermind on the logmein, definitely check out hamachi vpn though [11:41] jo88: DynDNS provides free subdomains (such as jo88.dyndns.com) [11:41] salut [11:41] will look conky up [11:41] jo88: OpenDNS is a DNS server (the thing that lets you convert google.com to 1.2.3.4) [11:41] hello people [11:42] andguen1 and jo88: Hamachi VPN is a BAD VPN solution.

[11:43] andguen1: Closed-source for a start. [11:43] powertop gives recommendations but im not sure if they are permanate or temporary [11:43] starcannon: I got ya an email sent so you have my email and can just reply when you get a chance to explain about vmware and getting things to work with wine [11:44] for example they say autosuspend usb wake [11:44] hello [11:44] by pressing U button [11:44] andguen1: Hamachi uses the 5.0.0.0/8 network for its IP addresses, a network that is not allocated to them by IANA [11:44] grawity: while I agree that open source is better, closed source isn't always mean its a bad idea [11:44] hello anyone??????/ [11:44] Doc_Lappy, google for vmware, the appdb, and the wine faq should help you much quicker than waiting for email reply [11:45] Suggestion: increase the VM dirty writeback time from 5.00 to 15 seconds with: [11:45] echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs [11:45] This wakes the disk up less frequently for background VM activity === Guest56808 is now known as brb [11:45] andguen1: 5.0.0.0/8 is currently reserved by IANA for future use - it is not proper for Hamachi to arbitrarily decide that they can just use that network range === brb is now known as Guest44743 [11:45] Jameson is doing it's job woot [11:45] andguen1: IANA will likely want to allocate it in the future, and when they do so, everyone using Hamachi is going to have problems [11:46] any ideas? thanks :) [11:46] well vmware probably but wine tricks I need her help probably and not in a big rush I dual boot with a cool version of winxp pro last edition [11:46] firecrotch: I would have to completely agree with the IP range issue, I deal with that constantly. I have a customer that uses 5. for their internal network as well. I still use it constantly though (both VPNs at once actually). [11:46] whatcha working on apps, I'll shoot a clue if I find one [11:47] im sorry what do u mean "whatcha working on"?? [11:47] andguen1: Why in the world would they be using 5. for their internal network? [11:47] apps I just got out of a PM with another, so I don't know what your trying to resolve [11:47] firecrotch: They needed a /8 that doesn't conflict with anything. [11:47] oh [11:47] Doc_Lappy, http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ [11:47] firecrotch: I wouldn't know. I don't get to tell them what IP range to use, I just support 1/1000th of the servers they own. :) [11:48] 1/1000th??? damn! [11:49] andguen1: I doubt that they need 16 million IP address [11:50] photoshop cs2 is even a fairly big programme isn't it? === Guest44743 is now known as brb [11:50] andguen1: Which company/AS number? === brb is now known as Guest38414 [11:51] to run on wine when I have photoshop cs4 free with my winxp pro pirated verstion dual boot === DaZ__ is now known as DaZ [11:52] don't think it's worth wasting the space to run wine in my case nogagplz [11:52] how do you change your quit msg on irc?

[11:58] praveen: The other option is the wubi installer which you run while you are in windows. It just creates a file inside windows rather then resizing partitions. [11:58] you shouldn't praveen just be sure to pick to install them side by side as the default is I believe when installing and at the partition stage, although a backup of anything important isn't a bad idea [11:58] praveen: or instead of wubi. Install virtualbox on the windows system and run ubuntu inside virtualbox [11:58] praveen before you begin backup your essential data, because the is allways a risk [11:59] Dr_Willis: that too (although I hear Wubi is easier) [11:59] firecrotch: still want to help? [11:59] andguen1: true I just couldn't figure out how to use that on my machine, I installed I thought but tried to open wubi.exe and wouldn't do anything [11:59] andguen1: ive heard of too many disasers with Wubi. :) [11:59] praveen read some about how to use systemrescuecd, and gparted. there must be a faq how to install linux next to windows. not one btw.

[12:00] Dr_Willis: honestly, I wouldn't know, I just assumed it was safer... [12:00] renaming photos in alphanumeric order. [12:00] przemo not need dualbooting with 9.4 is easy just stick in the disk and it does the partitioning and installing all by itself [12:00] Oh you're still on that? [12:01] yes [12:01] praveen install 32bit x86, because if you try to install 64bit system next to windows 32bit your partition table will collaps ( had that once). [12:01] grawity: praveen seemed timid to let ubuntu rework his partitions. I was just suggesting another, hopefully safer option. === Guest38414 is now known as brb [12:01] andguen1: personaly i would love it - if wubi vanished. :) [12:01] I don't know why your making it so complicated and trying to use gparted unless you really need to [12:01] Dr_Willis: any particular issues that come up regularly? Does it break the windows install or something? === brb is now known as Guest64810 [12:01] Doc_Lappy never tested. if it does than sorry. I have my own old ways.

[12:10] and it's no longer 'gaim' its' pidgin [12:10] chrizthop: It does now. [12:10] chrizthop: In Karmic that is. [12:10] firecrotch: any idea? [12:10] really?? [12:10] how ? [12:10] lisbon if after booting you see your drive than it's all right [12:10] chrizthop: 2.6.1, get from Pidgin website. [12:10] chrizthop: But only Google Talk so far. [12:10] Slurpee: working on it :) [12:11] jpds: Pidgin has their own PPA. [12:11] hmm in yahoo?? [12:11] przemo_one: No. All the installer detects is the usb with the installer on it. [12:11] hello [12:11] chrizthop: Yahoo's coming sometime later. [12:11] google talk has a linux cam? [12:11] jpds in karmic is it? [12:12] I did see yahoo version of linux but tried the deb and it wouldn't install on my ubuntu [12:12] hmm sori guys i am just really noob here [12:12] don't know why [12:12] chrizthop: You can get 2.6.1 in Jaunty too - go to http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ and foolow the instructions. [12:12] im using dhcp3-server ant it wont start up automaticly is there someone who know about this problem? [12:12] yahoo's official linux client - was quite quite quite old last i checked [12:12] thanks grawity i will try [12:13] chrizthop: But like I already said, it only has voice/webcam support for XMPP (Google Talk) [12:13] pidgin should be just an upgrade or a wget cmd [12:13] hmm ok! [12:13] thanks [12:13] Doc_Lappy: It is. [12:13] BooStar: Sounds like something for the #ubuntu-server channel [12:13] but that works too [12:13] lisbon i dont have an experience in that. maybe you should change something in bios like ide emulation on/off. never tested - just suggestion. or you hardware is so new, and there is no driver in the kernel. get the latest linux distribution. check google for support. does linux and which supports your hardware. [12:13] Doc_Lappy: You just add Pidgin's repo, and then it shows up as a upgrade. [12:13] it actually is already there with default [12:13] yeah that's what I thought [12:14] andguen1: ok, thanks [12:14] Doc_Lappy: Gajim asks me to report an error. What have I to fill in the form http://trac.gajim.org/newticket for Reporter > Your () username? [12:14] przemo_one: Ive been running gentoo on this machine for 3 years, so I know it should be possible. This is getting irritating now. [12:14] lisbon so ubuntu is not working whth your hardware :) [12:15] oh I see bullgard4 and why you calling it gajim, its just gaim or used to be until they renamed it pidgin [12:15] Doc_Lappy: No, Gaim and Gajim are different programs. [12:15] OH okay thanks grawity [12:15] didn't know that gajim was a program [12:15] przemo_one: Its looking that way ... [12:15] lisbon may i ask what is your hardware? chipset and ide/sata controller. mobo name is fine [12:16] I have very few applets for the panel [12:16] Doc_Lappy: Gajim says: "Remote contact's identity not verified. Click the shield button for more details." What is the "shield button" of Gajim? [12:16] Is there some package I need to add to get things like terminal applets etc. [12:16] przemo_one: erm, Im not really sure. Its a clevo D900k. [12:16] Gajim says: "Remote contact's identity not verified. Click the shield button for more details." What is the "shield button" of Gajim? [12:16] bullgard4: Look for a "shield" picture in gajim's window [12:17] SALUT TOUS LE MONDE [12:17] Slurpee: i=1; for x in *; do mv $x photo_`printf "%04d" $i`.jpg; i=$(( $i+1 )); done; [12:17] Specifically I mean when I try to use the "Add New Items..." [12:17] I've never used gajim bullgard4, only gaim which is now pidgin, so can't help ya [12:17] Doc_Lappy: Ok. [12:17] bullgard4: Btw, can you make a screenshot of gajim - including that message - and upload somewhere? [12:17] If it's a chatting client I recommend getting pidgin instead [12:17] EXIT [12:18] przemo_one: I tried a week ago with the regular live cd and it saw the drives, but Im trying to do a soft raid, hence the alternate installer. [12:19] How do I force a connected user to disconnect? [12:19] grawity: I can. But it will take a long time as this computer is new and not yet set up for sending screenshots via an Ubuntu web service [12:19] that or if it's still in use go to your terminal and do an update of your system then a wget or similar of pidgen if you have an older version of ubuntu [12:19] Hello there. Does anyone know how can I connect to my modem? In windows the IP was 192.168.1.1 but now I don't know in ubuntu... I connect to the internet using pppoeconf and if I type in firefox 192.168.1.1 It tells me that this page doesn't exist. So how can I figure out what's the IP of my modem? I called the ISP help assistance number and they told me that I have to ask on ubuntu how to figure out what's the modem ip since pppoeconf g [12:19] bullgard4: There's no "Ubuntu web service" for screenshots (at least none that I know of) :| [12:20] grawity: There is. [12:20] localhost maybe [12:20] bullgard4: ...then just press PrintScreen, save, uplodad to tinypic? [12:20] Doc_Lappy: localhost? [12:20] or 192.168.1.1 to get to router [12:20] Doc_Lappy: I tried that... [12:21] всё, презашел [12:21] lisbon soft raid?? [12:21] Doc_Lappy: it's not 192.168.1.1 anyomre... [12:21] grawity: I do not know tinypic. [12:21] Sj4lut: whats your computers ip? [12:21] firecrotch: interesting [12:21] Sj4lut: could be http://ip# or https://ip# also.. my 'modems' dont change their config ip# unless i reset them via the little reset button on teh back [12:21] try ifconfig on terminal [12:21] przemo_one: mdadm [12:21] bzrk: if I do ifconfig it just gives me external IP [12:21] Slurpee: need any of it explained? [12:21] not really [12:21] Sj4lut: then you need to set it manually to 192.168.1.2 [12:21] bullgard4: http://yfrog.com/ and http://tinypic.com/ and many others. [12:21] ifconfig /all ? [12:22] hello [12:22] i need to rename the files a few times....remove spaces, make lower case, rename to "photo". then I can run that command. [12:22] lisbon i dont undersand - no experience with raid [12:22] Sj4lut: then you will be able to connect to your router at 192.168.1.1 again [12:22] Doc_Lappy: I'm not in windows... I only have ubuntu now [12:22] I think that will do what I need :) [12:22] yeah should be able to set it to .2 but I forget how [12:22] Bruce: how can I set my local ip to 192.168.1.2? [12:22] Slurpee: the 'qmv' command is also handy for major changes. [12:22] qmv ? [12:22] Sj4lut: as root ifconfig ethX 192.168.1.2 up [12:23] Slurpee: it basically lets you have a list of all the file names in an editor. You use the editors search/replace/whatever tools to change the list.. you exit.. it renames them toyour new names [12:23] !find qmv [12:23] File qmv found in r-cran-mvtnorm, renameutils [12:23] intersting [12:23] lisbon so ubuntu detects drive (s) but installer dont [12:23] bzrk: even thoug I'm now connected via pon dsl-provider? [12:23] Slurpee: i also cheat and use wine and 'bulk rename utility' or the rox-filer file manager on linux. it has some nice rename bulk features [12:23] Sj4lut: youll lose your net for the time being [12:24] i need to do it on remote server [12:24] bzrk thanks I didn't know it was that easy of a command [12:24] bzrk: ok [12:24] Hi all, is there a quick (command line prefered) way to completely remove gnome from a fresh installation? [12:24] przemo_one: I guess you could say that. I mean the installer on the live cd saw them, but not now on the alternate. [12:24] loloftherings: remove some library all of gnome depends on I guess [12:24] !removegnome [12:24] Want to remove gnome/kde/xfce completely? Look at debfoster, it's a great help [12:24] bzrk: but I'm still connected [12:24] !purekde [12:24] If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [12:24] nah, I want dwm [12:25] thanks [12:25] lisbon so use the live cd :) [12:25] !puregnome [12:25] If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [12:25] I would have thought it would have needed something else in there to stay permanent [12:25] Sj4lut: you can add a route to 192.68.1.0/24 too if you dont want to disconnect [12:25] bzrk: how can I do that? [12:26] przemo_one: Yeah, but then I cant set up mdadm. [12:26] !U [12:26] U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [12:26] hello [12:26] ubottu said that bcuz itz tru [12:26] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:27] * jrib pummels starcannon [12:27] hehe [12:27] Sj4lut: route add net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 ethX [12:27] lisbon no experience cant help [12:27] wb starcannon [12:27] is it possible to use ssh -X in a ssh -X session? i cant connect the target-pc directly but want to start x-applications from it [12:27] whats up Doc! [12:27] iceroot: It should. [12:27] how original :P lol [12:27] iceroot: i belive ive read on the ssh docs about doing that. [12:27] yeah, i'm tired, thats the best you get for now [12:27] iceroot: ssh -v, if you have any problems [12:27] anybody know how to make hotkeys for Terminal? For example Super+S is apt-get, etc. [12:27] grawity: i forgot to mention, the pc in the middle did not have x installed [12:27] Sj4lut: or with the ip tools: ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev ethX [12:28] iceroot: ssh -X back to the original machine and see whata happens. :) [12:28] noMaster_: most people just use aliases [12:28] iceroot: You might try it like this: ssh -fN -L 2345:machine-b:22 machine-a; ssh -oHostkeyAlias=machine-b localhost -p 2345 -X === subzero2000_ is now known as subzero2000 [12:29] !hotkeys | noMaster_ [12:29] noMaster_: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [12:29] grawity: so its a ssh-tunnel? [12:29] iceroot: Yeah. [12:29] bzrk: I tried route add net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0 and I get net: unknown host [12:29] grawity: sound great, thx [12:30] iceroot you may need to use screen as well, can't remember. I do know that if you do "ssh -X someapp" that you will see the application on your remote desktop, NOT on the host desktop [12:30] Sj4lut: it's route add -net .... [12:31] starcannon: screen for that? [12:31] How can I use ~/.gtkrc-2.0 to change the font size inside applications (like gnome-terminal)? When I use gtk-font-name = "geneva 12" ; it just changes the size of the menu fonts. [12:32] yeah I think, its been a long time, but I seem to remember using a clever screen trick (I didn't think it up I used someone elses deal) and ssh -X I was able to open an X app on the host computer from a remote location, and the window was open on the host, not the remote [12:32] how to install ubuntu http://dpaste.com/101917/ [12:33] starcannon: that is what normal ssh -X is doing [12:33] starcannon: ssh -X host and then "firefox" will start the firefox from the server on your "client" [12:34] iceroot ssh -X will open the gui on the remote computer, the one your on; but on the host, where the app lives, it will just be a process running in the background, I do that all the time with transmission actually [12:34] starcannon: yes, i know that [12:34] praveen why is it you have so many partition on your windows anyway when its only a 80gig hd? [12:34] just curious [12:35] starcannon: my idea was A=my client, B=a server in the internet without x, C= my pc at home. i want to to start an app from C on A over B [12:35] iceroot nod, sorry, guess I made it all muddy in my first statement, anyway, I don't remember the clever trick, but google around about screen a bit, I really do remember using it to reverse the situation [12:35] iceroot, ah, okies, I got an idea [12:35] I have an issue. I cannot put a panel on the bottom of the screen [12:35] I click bottom [12:35] and it moves to the top [12:35] Doc_Lappy, yeah but i made the partition long years back and never ever think to install ubuntu. [12:35] starcannon: and i got the solution :) [12:35] just below the top panel [12:35] starcannon: i am using ssh tunnel [12:36] aaaaaaaaaa [12:36] the same thing happens with avant-window-navigator [12:36] :< [12:36] mdadm - raid-1, does the array (/dev/md0) have a diff UUID than that of it members /dev/sd* ? [12:36] bbbb [12:36] this is Ubuntu 9.10, and it worked before my last reboot lol [12:36] Gekz: #ubuntu+1 [12:37] iceroot, ssh into C, from C ssh -X into B, and the app will be open in a window on C [12:37] iceroot, or it should [12:37] iceroot, I'd have to try it once to see [12:37] starcannon: i cant reach c from a, only from b [12:37] I still think you should be able to just put in your ubuntu jaunty cd and do it just be sure at the partiton stage to do the customized perhaps instead of side by side so it is sure not to effect your dos partions but defult should work too [12:37] pukeko: Yes, very likely. Every partition should have a unique UUID, even if it is a virtual partition in raid. [12:37] iceroot, which explains why your tunneling then yeah? [12:38] starcannon: but remember i got a solution, so thank you but i dont need help anymore [12:38] starcannon: correct [12:38] Doc_Lappy, so i should go for side by side but scare it should not affect other drive [12:38] iceroot no worries, i was just yacking cause theres not a lot else to do at this hour. Have fun :) === MadMax is now known as Guest94927 [12:38] do you have anything you can't replace easily on you hd? [12:39] (Besides porn.) [12:39] Doc_Lappy, no [12:39] if so burn them to cd JUST IN CASE this is anytime you install a new OS [12:39] grawity pron is a renewable resource [12:39] Doc_Lappy, okay [12:39] then I'd just install side by side [12:39] andguen1: ta that helps ... so uuidgen /dev/md0 , or vol_id /dev/md0 , or blkid ? === bluebottle is now known as Guest6788 [12:40] and do it and not worry about it, so far I've never lost data === Main is now known as Niam [12:40] grawity: I read in http://yfrog.com: "You will be asked for your twitter username and password at next step. -- I am not affiliated to Twitter and do not intend to become affilitated to Twitter. [12:40] re [12:40] Doc_Lappy, hmm but i have more than 30 GB data and not easy to take backup [12:41] worse that has happen it messed up grub somehow so I had to use the live cd and go in and change the /boot/grub/menu.lst file [12:41] I wouldn't worry about backing anything up that can be replaced if you have pictures or something burn them to cd or dvd [12:42] praveen its good to have an external drive for that purpose, or online storage. [12:42] which you should do anyway with such things in case of a crash [12:42] hi, what is this winbind? :-/ [12:42] agreed starcannon [12:42] pukeko: To be perfectly honest, I don't use the UUIDs much, as I'm comfortable updating paths when I swap drives & partitions around. /dev/md0 should behave as a normal live partition as far as the OS is concerned, its just more complicated booting to it. [12:42] starcannon, can you give me any site name for online storage [12:43] What command restarts the sound in ubuntu - i.e. sound is working... working.... wor... not working... still not working... command.... yey working again === adam is now known as Guest6406 [12:43] default9.04 install [12:43] wait, default 8.10 install [12:43] then you can always retrieve the info, I just realised that awhile back on my own that you should be able to take a crashed pc and put the hd in another machine as slave to retrieve the files lol [12:43] praveen igoogle [12:43] grawity: http://tinypic.com/r/lzb6b/4 [12:43] how can I rename all of the files in a directory without changing the file extension...example.... jpg [12:44] packages.medibuntu.org is unreachable... [12:44] file1.jpg, file2.jpg, file3, jpg. rename to photo1.jpg, photo2.jpg, photo3.jpg [12:44] nvm, just took 10 mins [12:45] praveen for 30gb it may be worth hiring an ftp server online, I keep a lot of stuff on my webserver, mines unlimited storage, so its eay peasy for me [12:45] wish I would of thought about that years ago, which is why I'm fixing my dell to have my 500gig hd as master and a 160gig that was original as a slave just for backing up my website data in case my hosting fails, or music/videos that I don't want taking up my space [12:45] starcannon, http://www.adrive.com/static/aboutus_features#storage_capacity is providing 60 GB [12:45] dsdeiz http://linux.about.com/cs/linux101/g/winbind.htm [12:45] rename *.jpg. to hoto1.jpg, photo2.jpg, photo3.jpg [12:46] praveen better still, nice find [12:46] rename *.jpg to photo1.jpg, photo2.jpg, photo3.jpg [12:46] starcannon, :) [12:46] slurpee are you STILL on renaming all your pictures lol [12:46] yes, but I am trying to build a sytem [12:46] haha [12:46] praveen: whats starcannon? === lancetw_ is now known as lancetw [12:46] gartral I'm starcannon [12:47] i have a ton of images all organized a differnt way. I am renaming all of them in a standard way. [12:47] ohhh [12:47] I see, well organising them isn't a bad idea [12:47] with these commands...I think I can rename all of them in about 15 minutes [12:47] gartral, starcannon lol [12:47] Slurpee: if you spent some of your time learning instead of just asking others to do it for you, this would be done already! [12:47] Slurpee: through filenames? [12:47] yes [12:47] praveen: whats gartral? hehe [12:47] jrib, if you're going to respond like that to help request, please don't join this channel. [12:48] starcannon, both are human being heheheh [12:48] starcannon praveen ohh ha ha ha... [12:48] *hides* [12:48] jrib be nice, at least for me I spend hrs online googling and can''t find what I'm looking for or don't learn a darn thing that I can find out in 5 mins of talking to someone in chat, so go easy on him [12:48] Nachturnal: I've been here for 2 hours and spoonfed Slurpee in the beginning. I even explained commands to him so he could help himself. [12:49] yes, I suck. [12:49] this is a fact. [12:49] almost 7 am...I am about to give up [12:49] Nachturnal: he's already been given the command that does what he is asking for in fact [12:49] probably be easier after some sleep [12:49] i need help with karmic [12:49] jrib, Ah, I can understand your frustration, in that case. [12:49] shiznebit: #ubuntu+1 [12:49] Slurpee thats true, the human brain runs on sleep, and water. [12:49] why are the update servers running so slow? [12:49] thanks [12:49] shiznebit: whats your question? [12:50] lots of water makes a happy brain (don't over do, all things in moderation) [12:50] I have to as people all the time for help jrib, asking for help isn't that big of deal if google is the answer sometimes the right site is needed or it's not much help at all [12:50] gartral 9.10 beta came out on the first, the servers are slammed [12:50] Doc_Lappy: I'm not telling him to google. I'm telling him to ask for help understanding the commands he's been given. He already has the answer to his question [12:50] oh I see jrib [12:50] starcannon: ohh yea.. i forgot [12:51] gartral, don't feel bad lots have wondered ;) [12:51] starcannon: no, the human brain runs onn sleep electrolytes and caffine.. :P === root is now known as Guest55472 [12:51] <{Onyx}> oops [12:51] <{Onyx}> trashed my linux install [12:51] just thought you were being hard on him, because I get annoyed by people asking simple things too and I'm just a level above a noob [12:51] gartral *I like muny* [12:51] Slurpee: the command firecrotch gave you before does exactly what you just asked [12:52] uh oh onyx, what'd ya do [12:52] <{Onyx}> was playing with ultimate boot disk flipping around menus and trashed the mbr [12:52] <{Onyx}> after that i couldn't get sda1 to mount so i could reinstall grub [12:53] gartral its got lectrolights' :) [12:53] gah... 6 mb/ps line widdled down too 200 kb/ps >.> [12:53] firecrother's command - i=1; for x in *; do mv $x photo_`printf "%04d" $i`.jpg; i=$(( $i+1 )); done; - works if all the files are named "photo" [12:53] Slurpee: no, it doesn't. It renames all files in the directory. [12:53] i need to first name all of the files "photo"? [12:53] gartral remember "watched pots never boil", set it and forget it, it'll finish up sometime tomorrow hehe [12:53] Slurpee: well all files that don't begin with a '.' anyway [12:54] starcannon: im just doing normal apt-get update then apt-get upgrade.. had 44 files at 133 mb to download.. [12:55] gartral I sympathize with you; I guarantee that if I go get a new MMORPG to play, that the minute I finish up installing it, patch day arrives lol [12:55] jrib i think i finally got it! [12:55] !root [12:55] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:56] <{Onyx}> this kind of sucks. I had just migrated a bunch of stuff from failed hdd's onto that partition before I trashed it :( [12:56] I like that bot lol [12:56] !language | {Onyx} [12:56] {Onyx}: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[13:34] Memphisto: tightvnc does not share the 'current' desktop; it spawns its own desktop 'hidden' [13:35] yeah, think it's something with too many screens?

How can I remove oo completely? === RealPotatoe is now known as JNSamuel [13:38] Memphisto: seems the default tightvnc server runs your users .vnc/xstartup that launches '/etc/X11/Xsession' you could change that to be 'gnome-session' if you always wantee gnome. [13:38] Memphisto: but you would be better off running a real light window manager - like icewm, or jwm, or flwm [13:38] how do I make my own shortcuts for dmenu?

[13:40] why do i get 6 choices to boot on ubuntu if i installed it only 1 time, 2 generic, 2 recovery and 2 mem test something, 3 with a version 3 with other version .. all i did is installed new updates [13:40] Dr_Willis can i pm you? [13:40] wrapster: remove the offending key. or remove the .ssh/known_hosts file [13:41] remove the file itself? :) [13:41] wrapster: thas how i normally do it. ( a little extreme, but i only have 3 pc's on the lan) [13:41] Xaifas: you get one for each kernel you have installed. It's a good idea to keep at least one old kernel around [13:41] it will get remade when you next connect [13:41] erm. why does ubuntu make further releases and after a couple of month they stop submitting updates to the archives. Even though the releases are basically the same as the ones before? [13:41] Offending key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts:3 [13:41] that says key #3 is the one thats it dont like [13:42] yeah but when ever i will ge tnew update il get a new boot entry jrib [13:42] !sru | JNSamuel [13:42] JNSamuel: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [13:42] and if i want to remove how i doit? [13:42] Memphisto: i like to keep it in here. I may have to leave at any time also. [13:42] ok done.. is there a clean way however [13:42] Xaifas: only when you get a new kernel. Remove the corresponding linux-image-* package if you don't want the old kernel (don't remove the kernel you use!) [13:42] Dr_Willis ok [13:42] wrapster: ive never noticed.. thers books written on using SSH :) it may mention better ways in them [13:42] Hi everyone [13:43] I've got this ok before, but it's a long time ago :) [13:43] wrapster: i just remove the whole file normally :) and reconnect [13:43] jrib: I guess not all updates are stopped?

[14:48] that is my goal [14:48] pass** [14:49] vatts: rsync [14:49] JImmyBonzai: if your xp partition is the first partition on the first drive then grub will overwrite the ntloader [14:49] i need xp working again forst, what tools in linux can i use for the drive to be picked up? as i say i tried windoes se3tup cd recovery tool and fixboot \fixmbr, still no boot [14:49] using 2 drives now [14:49] grawity: isn't rsync from box TO remotebox? [14:49] got a fresh drive for ubuntu [14:50] i badly need to get into my windows first [14:50] JImmyBonzai: recommend windows tools to fix your windows problem, /join ##windows [14:50] JImmyBonzai: what happens when you try to boot windows? [14:50] !rsync [14:50] rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [14:50] vatts: rsync can work in any direction, including local-only. [14:50] nothing [14:50] dosent give error of ntloadr or anything [14:51] JImmyBonzai: no errors at all.. ? just emptyness? have you checked the boot order in the bios [14:51] when i do fixmbr in console it does complain about partition table but its a brand new format, only ufiles are sa,e [14:51] same* [14:51] which made me think [ermisssions [14:51] sure i even choose drive manually [14:52] JImmyBonzai: the master boot record is not a standard filesystem, it has no notion of 'permissions' [14:52] JImmyBonzai: can you boot to the ubuntu live cd and look at the drive? is there data there? [14:52] yes, defo, everyting looks as it should [14:52] cabaro are you there? [14:52] it is of same size as before aswell [14:52] file wise [14:53] with the command read i can get the key-sequence of the key F12 for example. how can i get the sequence for mouse down? [14:53] ill come back guys 2 mins [14:54] JImmyBonzai: outside of any suggestions #windows might make.. you might be better served by installing ubuntu on the new drive, copy the data off the other and reinstall windows [14:54] nvidia-glx-96 is installed but with my gforce 4 mx ti4200 is nothing possbile above vga mode - how to solve?

[14:56] grawity: Nope, times out [14:57] Halitech: No, no web browser [14:57] Josh_: Then your DNS server might be down...

[14:58] oh icic [14:58] ty [14:58] I have a problem when installing ubuntu on a parallels virtual machine [14:58] dynamite: Package managers never touch user settings.

[15:02] josh, what is your IP address? [15:02] scunizi, lol nope sorry. The free space has definitely not been given back to that partition. [15:02] anyone plz help me [15:02] trapassiya: In Ubuntu, like most Linux distributions, programs are usually installed from "software repositories" - go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager. [15:02] Halitech: 24.101.74.105 [15:02] tread: common error for lots is to look at the free space on the wrong partition by accident.. :) [15:03] Why did you need that?

The only similar thread I could find on google suggests that it's in a different user's trash.. but i deleted it from nautilus, and i started nautilus as myself. [15:03] josh, do you have a router that has that IP or is that the address that shows up when you run sudo ifconfig?

[15:05] ok [15:05] scunizi, don't see how that could be the case, but i check'd trash as root anyway and nope :/ [15:05] Josh_: Anyway, if ifconfig doesn't list anything else than loopback, you need to configure the network interface... do you use DHCP? [15:05] grawity: I don't know what I mean anymore. [15:05] tread: when you deleted what you deleted did you have to use sudo? [15:05] I believe so, yes [15:05] Josh_: For DHCP, sudo dhclient eth0 [15:05] sry but i dont know tht where gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list this path resides [15:05] Josh_, does lspci list your network card?

I then emptied the trash (didn't verify it was in there first, just assumed)... and now i can't find my free space. I'm just gonna try a logout/login for the heck of it, see what happens.

And I know I didn't have it before I logged out (so it couldn't have just been a problem with nautilus refreshing its info) because i tested it by trying to copy a file via command line, and it wouldn't let me due to lack of space... but logout, login, and voila, the space is there! weird :/ [15:14] my buttons are on the left and all that but im not using the mac4lin theme i was using prior [15:14] and if that is the case... i've had to go into gconf and straighten it out [15:15] FiReSTaRT: yes, but i need only to limit say 2mbps for 192.168.1/24 then 512kbps to 192.168.2/24 ranges [15:15] can someone tell me why im getting the following errors when i source my vimrc file? http://pastebin.com/d7f90f90 [15:15] how do i put the buttons where they used to be [15:15] tread: great.. that's why the cli can be beneficial sometimes.. also in Applications> Accessories> Disk Usage Analyser is a good graphical tool to find where the largest partitions/directories are.

[15:17] yes i understand [15:17] tread: I suspect the space was free .. it was just nautilus not reporting correctly [15:17] dynamite, restart vim [15:17] thanks it worked [15:17] kk [15:17] np [15:17] u rule [15:17] jrivera: that package seems to be able to restrict by ip... gives you more flexibility.. with that being said, being a Canadian, the concept scares me as most of the country is being throttled [15:17] vim is over rated :P [15:17] Hello [15:17] so is vi [15:18] lol [15:18] scunizi, didn't you read what i just said? before logging out, i tried copying a file via command line, just to see if the problem was only with nautilus misreporting... the copy failed due to lack of disk space before I logged out.. so no, the space *wasn't* free before i logged out.

[15:34] qdb, you could try booting to single user mode and running xfix but my suggestion would be to get an nvidia card and install it, be alot less hassle and will be better supported [15:34] nutterpc: I know all the upgrade files are in that repo, and if I'd like uptate-manager --dist-upgrade to use that repo instead of the official [15:35] guest42: for all the NV messages in the log and the fact that the other driver got unloaded [15:35] soreau, so yes im able to test it [15:35] * sodium slaps buddhika around a bit with a large trout [15:35] scunizi: no this is not active say errore bug [15:35] toxic, edit your sources.list file and uncomment any you don't want to use [15:35] sodium, stop that [15:35] JoshuaL: I assume you know how to use a script then. chmod+x it and run it as user. It will prompt for password as needed http://pastebin.com/m3a5af75e [15:35] Halitech, i already runned xfix that way and after that it started to work, before that it freezed or something...

I don't know how to fix that. [15:39] parapanghelescu, there might be proprietary codecs required that you don't have installed [15:39] sudo apt-get install gnomebaker k3b [15:39] qdb, you could try installing 8.04 and see if it works better [15:39] i install and give the computer [15:39] Halitech: I know, but the repo I'd like to use is not from ubuntu.com [15:39] it is too long [15:39] soon i will give that [15:39] Halitech [15:39] scunizi: what is jocky ???????? and what's meen? [15:39] toxic, I know so disable them and it won't use them [15:39] there is windows also [15:39] soreau, its compiling stuff now :) [15:39] Halitech [15:39] cabaro> thanks / jedc > you may be just right ...I try to write some avi files ...

[15:41] http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/videotraining/xml/vid01.html , can u view this website [15:42] soreau, its done installing [15:42] abhilashm86: yes [15:42] parapanghelescu: Yes. [15:42] Halitech: but the fact is that those sources are not in my source.list.... I think update-manager has it's own source.list [15:42] JoshuaL: Then I assume the necessary dependency package names are the same as they are on Jaunty then (which is what I was expecting). Hopefully, all of them will compile cleanly and work out-of-the-box. Note the instructions in --help to complete the installation [15:42] Anyone see why hald is dieing? http://pastie.org/640463 Seems to die after I assemble an array with mdadm. Ubiquity wont run withou hald so I cant install! [15:42] toxic: AFAIK, update-manager uses exactly the same sources as any other package manager. [15:42] every one can Description me what's jocky and what is means [15:42] grawity > there is no reverse enginnering on that ??? no plugin developed ??? [15:42] rsk: i'm not able to hear sound??some actionscript error? how to correct [15:42] abhilashm86: i hear the sound [15:43] abhilashm86: it seems the error is on your side [15:43] toxic, update-manager, synaptic are just front ends to apt so its going to use the same sources.list file [15:43] Halitech, do you know how can i change that in terminal? i will serch in internet [15:43] parapanghelescu: The AVI container format is public, and almost every self-respecting program supports it. [15:43] yes error is actionscript, can i try reinstalling flash player? or which tool [15:43] soreau, everything works, thanks :D [15:43] rsk: yes error is actionscript, can i try reinstalling flash player? or which tool [15:43] qdb, you can try to manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf but I'm not sure what settings you would use [15:43] JoshuaL: Awesome, thanks for testing : [15:44] JoshuaL :) [15:44] grawity > well ? why not Brasero burning software ??? [15:44] Halitech: ok, I'll give a shot and comment all sources but that from my university....

[15:49] Halitech: new source.list => http://pastebin.com/m49fb05f It should york that way ? [15:49] if I have an open ssh connection to a server, is there any way to make separate command line calls to ssh or rsync use that already open connection rather than making new connections?

[15:50] soreau, no, sorry [15:50] http://pastebin.com/m7bdf4ebf [15:50] Travis-43: I think ssh has a way to do that... ssh -M or something like that. Never used it. [15:50] JoshuaL: Well hmm.. it should have installed icons. Can you show the output of ls /usr/share/ccsm/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps ? [15:50] hitting the wrong button is never such a good idea [15:50] grawity, ok thanks, I'll look into it [15:50] soreau, ls: cannot access /usr/share/ccsm/icons/hicolor/scalable/app: No such file or directory [15:50] toxic, that looks okay to me, run sudo apt-get update and see if it gives any errors [15:51] JoshuaL: Ahh.. it must be a different directory on karmic [15:51] fuckit. im installing windoze === BlouBlou is now known as BlouBlou_ [15:51] JoshuaL: Thats why the icons didnt install === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [15:51] !language | lisbon [15:51] lisbon: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[15:52] lisbon, you havent even given us a chance to help you out [15:52] scunizi, thanks - i hope now i will have the english spell check workin [15:52] soreau, my mistake, forgoto to copy the last s [15:52] Halitech: apt-update works, but update-manager says he knows no source for karmic.... [15:52] Flock: no problem.. vlc beats the stock media players hands down (and it is in the repos) while following the instructions on the medibuntu page will install all of the codecs and other crap you need to play any kind of video.. the only ones i still can't play are hi-def wmv's [15:53] toxic, are you sure they have the sources for karmic on the server? [15:53] JoshuaL: Well then.. do you have /tmp/icons-experimental.tar.gz? [15:53] toxic, it is still beta so may not have it [15:53] grawity, it let me to the ControlMaster configuration option which works perfectly, thank you. [15:53] soreau, list of icons: http://pastebin.com/m37621a71 [15:54] ahm ok [15:54] where i can get vlc? [15:54] soreau, nope, no such file in my /tmp [15:54] I have iptables doing ip masquerading. after some fiddling to forward ap ort over openvpn (and deciding not to and revertnig to the old setup), iptables doenst want to translate http requests. https and everything else works fine. [15:54] And i think my problem is somehow related to conntack. How can I debug this? [15:54] according to tcpdump the http request doesnt even make it to the iptables masq machine [15:55] guys i want ot boot the cdrom from grub, how can i do it? [15:55] flockflock: sudo apt-get install vlc [15:55] i am unable to cd into a director owned by me, and has 660 permission. is this normal? [15:55] Halitech: when i browse the repo on my web browser, i see karmic.... maybe I have to change jaunty to karmic in source.list manually ? [15:55] (soory, i missed the hi all :P ) [15:55] sinan: Yes, it's normal. [15:55] sinan: Directories need 'execute' permission if you want to cd into them. [15:55] Flock: sudo apt-get install vlc [15:55] JoshuaL: Did you reboot since running the script? [15:55] soreau, yeah [15:56] Hi all, are there any known problems with the Karmic beta in Virtual Box? [15:56] grawity: thanks :) [15:56] JoshuaL: Ok, thats be why then. Looks like it installed the first icon (annotate) and failed on the rest [15:56] toxic, update manager should do that itself, if its not, yes try changing it manually [15:56] MikeC: karmic in #ubuntu+1 ;) [15:56] MikeC: isn't Karmic still alpha? [15:56] karmic is beta [15:56] JoshuaL: Can you try running the script with install all as arguments? [15:56] scunizi: it is beta starting last thursday [15:57] scunizi, I think it went beta on Oct 1 [15:57] soreau, sure [15:57] ok [15:58] when carmic koala full release detail?? [15:59] so i needa update 8.10 to 9.04 [15:59] at a certain time of day, where i will be asleep [15:59] whast the best plan of attack here === LinoSP is now known as LinoSP|Away [16:00] I have a silly question [16:00] !away > LinoSP|Away [16:00] LinoSP|Away, please see my private message [16:00] grawity > thanks I try to do that also ...but I can play the files with no problem ..... [16:00] obsidieth: start the install, and let it get to the downloading part [16:00] why the hell are the timezones wrong in ubuntu installer [16:00] happy_finger, around the end of the month [16:00] !upgrade > obsidieth [16:00] obsidieth, please see my private message [16:00] soreau, still the same [16:00] obsidieth: start the upgrade before you go to sleep [16:00] i'm in Portugal, now the right time is 1600 [16:00] obsidieth: how bout just downloading the iso and "reinstalling" the latest version? You WILL have to have a seperate /home partition to retain all your data. [16:00] obsidieth, run it as a cron job? [16:00] i have serious doubts about that being of use, jrib [16:00] but in the installer is giving me 1700 [16:00] icons-experimental.tar.gz <-- is present in /tmp [16:01] i considered that Halitech, but im not sure how to do it from cli [16:01] obsidieth: well what doubts exactly? [16:01] its not a common task [16:01] but i have bandwith limitations. [16:01] "raw1394 - failed to get handle: No such file or directory." what can i do? [16:01] JoshuaL: Hmm.. I will have to look then. For now, just extract the icons in /tmp/icons-experimental.tar.gz to /usr/share/ccsm/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps manually [16:01] basically if i run it before 4am im going to use up all my downloads and get charged. [16:01] must avoid [16:02] obsidieth: I see. [16:02] soreau, ok, i gota go now anyways. thanks for the script and good luck fixing that issue :) [16:02] in debian at least, you can just update the sources.list and invoke apt-get distupgrade [16:02] or something along those lines [16:02] does ubuntu have anything like this? [16:02] dist-upgrade* [16:02] * or something along those lines [16:03] obsidieth: one way would be to start the upgrade, get a list of packages it wants to download, write a wget script to download just the packages to the right location, then schedule that, then do the upgrade itself after the packages have downloaded [16:03] true. [16:03] 850mb is going to equal a reasonable amount of packages though [16:03] i think it was around that [16:03] obsidieth: see what is required of you for the server install (I'm not sure if it asks questions) [16:04] obsidieth: the dist-upgrade method you mention isn't supported === jimlong is now known as MrPockets [16:04] hello [16:04] i suspected as fuck [16:04] hasdf [16:04] much* [16:04] obsidieth: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:04] obsidieth: edit sources.list, schedule a cron job to do "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y" [16:04] thats what im after [16:04] by mistake I installed some iditioc flash player for my FF instead of Adob'es flash plugin, and I don't remember its name even, its creating troubles now, what should I do ? [16:04] are all ubuntu repo's really slow right now? [16:04] benedikt: that isn't a supported way to upgrade... [16:04] I am using Ubuntu jaunty with fglrx drivers downloaded from ati homepage. I get som eproblems with compiz. Using Radeon HD 4850. Any ideas? [16:05] jrib: but it works just fine [16:05] benedikt: no, not in general [16:05] ill give er a dry run [16:05] it works fine sometimes [16:05] magdala: What problems? === LinoSP|Away is now known as LinoSP [16:05] bytewalker: I was wondering the same thing...When I download from the repos, its at less than 100kB/sec [16:05] well how is ubuntu server updated [16:06] soreau, when I minmize windows it takes some time to maximize them again [16:06] obsidieth: read the link from ubottu [16:06] benedikt: It's like lighting a fire in your sitting room - sure, it'll keep you warm, but you will eventually die from monoxide poisoning. [16:06] surely there is a simple way without the x server running [16:06] and same happens when resizing windows [16:06] and I get screen tearing in default video player [16:06] magdala: Well afaik, that is an issue with the flgrx driver [16:06] yea heh, im using the main us one, it's like 50kB/s === ixian__ is now known as ixian_ [16:06] gotcha [16:06] soreau, wtf? :D [16:06] magdala: And the driver also sucks for video playback [16:06] update manager core. [16:06] secondly [16:07] ATI closed source drivers?! [16:07] OMG! [16:07] is something going to go terribly wrong if i update without first applying all updates for 8.10 [16:07] They should be perfect! [16:07] magdala: For resizing windows, change the default resize method to anything other than Normal in ccsm>Resize WIndow [16:07] obsidieth: well the updater should do that for you [16:07] it looked like ti was [16:07] magdala, are you getting blank spots on the screen? [16:07] no [16:07] but this page from the bot does say to be sure you apply all updates first. [16:07] obsidieth [16:08] everything looks ok but I get those problem === hey` is now known as grumete [16:08] can you help me to add a menu option that allow me to boot a cdrom from grub? [16:08] when I minimize I guess the windows is taken out of the ram [16:08] "raw1394 - failed to get handle: No such file or directory." what can i do? [16:08] I heard some gossip about the cpu frequency scaling governor in current ubuntu kernels being less than optimal. Is this (still) true ? [16:08] magdala, well the window max/min is a big problem. [16:08] and it takes some time to render them when I restore them === Guest5000468 is now known as JoeSomebody [16:08] i assume the cli update tool is curses? [16:08] hello [16:08] people === DaZ____ is now known as DaZ [16:08] magdala, i used to have that. also i used to get black spots on the screen. no idea why. [16:09] so how did you fix it? [16:10] magdala, using open source drivers now. [16:10] obsidieth: you know, I just thought of a really simple option that you might want to consider in case the cli tool requires interaction. Start the upgrade, as soon as it begins downloading, hit ctrl-z (or send SIGSTOP directly). Then schedule a SIGCONT at the time you need [16:10] im strugglingt og et 5kbs from the mirrors here. [16:10] seriously?! But then I won'd be able to use 3d [16:10] ah, that sounds like it might work nicely [16:10] I need 3d for some games I play thru wine [16:10] help me,... how to upgrade kernel 8.04 to 9.04 [16:11] !upgrade [16:11] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [16:11] magdala, oh games are a problem. [16:11] omg. radeon and ubuntu is a problem [16:11] never going to recommend their products to anyone :/ [16:12] heh [16:12] how do i get back into it once i have halted [16:12] obsidieth: use kill to send SIGCONT [16:12] im sorry? [16:13] are there really no solutions with radeon hd 4850 and compiz? [16:13] obsidieth: use the kill command to send the SIGCONT signal to the process [16:13] I created raid0 /dev/md0 , when doing swapon /dev/md0 it works. If I do a reboot the swap is gone and if I do swapon /dev/md0 again I'm told md0 don't exsist. [16:13] magdala: The solution is the open driver [16:13] cabaro > are you still there ???? it seems that your command installed 2 softwares ...k3b and gnomebaker ......why ??? [16:14] soreau, I need 3d acceleration! [16:14] magdala: Unfortunately, it will be at least 10.04 before its ready (with 3D) for ubuntu [16:15] magdala: Currently 3D is already working with it but you have to install latest kernel, libdrm, mesa, ddx etc. Not a trivial task atm [16:15] 3d accelerations drivers or hardware? [16:16] [1]+ Stopped sudo do-release-upgrade [16:16] i cant see this in ps aux [16:16] any ubuntu software which supports PLC programming?

[16:17] magdala: Since AMD bought ATI and started releasing specs, there have been many improvements. However, everything is still up in the air and much work needs to be done [16:18] it sucks :D [16:18] ok, thank you! :) [16:19] I will have to stick with fglrx and some compiz glitches because I need 3d [16:19] Hello.

[17:06] is not an easy solution, since the shops are closed :p [17:06] ok i found simple ccsm [17:06] Narc: dd-wrt is a open sourced router firmware, and there are a number of linksys models supported, yet they can be tricky to install [17:06] shoud i install it, then ill get the cube? [17:07] thanks! if possible I hope to help somebody. [17:07] heavenrider: then you could configure your system to have the cube [17:07] what is the best irc program? [17:07] ok thanks a bunch [17:07] I use xchat-gnome. [17:07] also where can i get kiba dock? [17:07] eng_metal: There is no "best". [17:07] evident: i dont know much about what involved with playing around with the ds, but I assume all it is, is that you program in a language right? [17:07] Narc: however, IF you follow the instructions to the T, you can have a much more useful and functional router as the end result [17:07] i cant find it any where [17:07] eng_metal: But many like either xchat (NOT xchat-gnome), or irssi. [17:07] !best | eng_metal [17:07] eng_metal: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [17:07] Xchat is quite good... what more do you want? [17:08] musikgoat: Yes that's what I'm reading. You think it could help with my problem ? Because I'm happy with my Linksys firmware. I don't think it's a router issue since it's not doing it on other OSes [17:08] where can i find and install kiba dock? [17:08] i heard its really good [17:08] Is the NVIDIA 180.xx glx plug and play when changing between graphhics cards in the 8xxx and 9xxx series. It worked for me. Can anyone confirm? [17:08] Narc: where do you see the disconnects happen, with the torrent clients or in some logs [17:09] xchat [17:09] eng_metal: XChat is one of the best. [17:09] can you help me to add a menu option that allow me to boot a cdrom from grub? [17:09] alright. it's good to understand the rules of the chaneel. [17:09] Hi!

I am having problems with this CLI script: http://pastebin.com/m531dff05 It keeps prompting for a password, even thou I specifiy one in the script. [17:09] Ridders: Well as far as I've read so far the games are programmed in c++... there are libraries with many functions to interact with the NDS... but I guess I'll need some kind of compiler to make "*.nds" files, which are the files the games are stored in... must be some kind of archive [17:09] I successfully changed to a 8500gt from a 9800gt and after a reboot it picked it up correctly. Will the clock and GPU settings be correct for older card [17:10] musikgoat: Well, logfiles haven't been really useful on this one, unless I'm not looking in the good ones [17:10] vimalg2: the clock and GPU settings are controlled in hardware, you shouldn't have anything to worry about [17:10] Narc: how do you know that you are having these disconnects? [17:10] musikgoat: I figured. Thanks for confirming. :) I appreciate it === brb is now known as Guest90575 [17:10] hello everyone, how to uninstall ubuntu 9.04?

[17:11] evident: hmm, notepad ++ was always a good program for me, when I used to do programming, as for a compiler, all i can suggest is that you google for a linux one, sorry [17:11] musikgoat: What do you mean ? I'm just not connected to the internet anymore, can't access router's config page nor ping it and the internet led on it just goes off [17:11] Hello!

[17:42] janisozaur, I misunderstood gparted :p, i can just resize it again an then set create a second partition this time instead of leaving it unformatted [17:42] janisozaur, thanks for your help though [17:42] ghostlines: you're welcome [17:43] I want to configure my DNS so that I can host site offline on my PC, and type URL http://example.local [17:43] kipingor: oh...

Version 1.122 (jaunty), package size 21 kB, installed size 48 kB [18:03] cocozz: man mount [18:03] mesa_booger, no - i can also chech what other sound settings will make it like [18:03] cocozz: look for cifs [18:04] mesa_booger: could it be that ubuntu doesn't install the full fonts with all font sizes, just the base lines? fonts are optimized for every pt. if that's not done, they might look as bad as what I see, so maybe I am just lacking some font files for Sans Serif and co? === brb is now known as Guest40399 === sale_ is now known as sale [18:05] janisozaur, I have all the dependencies just not the correct version, I need gtk+2.0 >=2.16 and I have Juanty's [18:05] BenBu: ttf fonts are vector fonts. one size fits all [18:05] cocozz: the mounts in gvfs aren't that easy to handle from cli (at least i know no such method), but all the info should be kept in ~/.gvfs [18:05] janisozaur, sorry didn't mena to send that. [18:05] fearful: ppa [18:05] mesa_booger, so recording the sound is the only good idea? [18:05] janisozaur, yea thats what I'm doing thanks so much again for your help. [18:05] home__: open up the case and use a stethoscope :) [18:06] mesa_booger: no, that's not true. you *can* render all sizes from a single vector, but you get bad results for small font sizes. that's why 8-12 pt each have their own glyphs [18:06] mesa_booger, there are many devices to choose from at 'sound' [18:06] home__: is the sound coming out of the speakers or out of the system case ? [18:06] mesa_booger, it is the speakers [18:06] sheez [18:07] lol [18:07] since everyone in #apache seems to be sleeping maybe someone in here can help me [18:07] need to install any IDE for c\c++ and gtk [18:07] with apache how would i forward requests coming in for mail.domain.tld to mail.domain.tld:8181/ where domain and tld are dynamic [18:08] Jill: eclipse, code::blocks, ... [18:08] home__: try disabling the daemons one at a time, to see which one is causing the "sounds" [18:08] Hello. I am trying to extract an ISO file to a directory but it is a bit damaged. Is there any way to force-extract, skipping errors? [18:09] mesa_booger, what are daemons? [18:09] MindVirus: try mounting it and just copying the files without errors [18:09] mesa_booger, im not sure there is sound in the system by the way [18:09] janisozaur: what do you mean, mount it? You mean mount -o loop -t iso9660? [18:09] MindVirus: yeah, something like that === kassai_ is now known as kassai [18:10] janisozaur: it won't mount because it says it's not a valid iso9660 partition. [18:10] But I know it is. [18:10] home__: system services. like exim, sysklogd, gpm, gdm etc [18:10] It just has the copy-protection error in the first block. [18:10] janisozaur: lol...I found that mounting it throught its domain name doens't work, it must be it's ip .. [18:10] home__: extraneous sounds from the speakers can be caused by irq problems and also by rf interference from nearby units [18:10] mesa_booger, do i need to disable them? [18:11] janisozaur: can i edit .net sources in eclipse? [18:11] how to make flash work on ubuntu?

[18:11] home__, weird sounds from the speakers are usually your cellphone :P move it away. [18:11] Jill: well... technically you can edit anything in eclipse [18:11] hey [18:11] anybody know of a good cd importer? i'm using exaile to play if that makes a difference... [18:11] grawity: ty [18:11] what app in gnome is equivalent to klipper [18:11] ZanQdo: glippe [18:11] home__: dunno then. must be the Ghost In The Machine [18:11] Exodus, no cell phone [18:11] ZanQdo: er, glipper [18:12] seriusly? haha [18:12] ok [18:12] zsakr: Have you tried to install anything yet? [18:12] mesa_booger, i will try disabling but how to disable? [18:12] home__, sometimes usb devices will make horrible sounds through the speakers. Bad front panel wiring. [18:12] Jill: for .net/mono you'd like to use sharpdevelop (or monodevelop, i'm not 100% sure about the name) [18:12] Exodus: or bad motherboard design, or mismatched impedances on the connected audio devices [18:13] janisozaur: thanks [18:13] linxeh, exactly. [18:13] Exodus, ok that might be - and i think there is no sound in the system [18:13] i need to get something to rip cds ultimately for exaile on ubuntu. Any suggestions? [18:13] LobbyZ: cdparanoia?

[18:14] see above. it got lost in th eflood. [18:14] also, thank you, grawity [18:14] Choose a better moment then! [18:14] home__, try unplugging your usb devices. Just having them connected might do the above.

Third person plural [18:23] sup guys [18:24] yowshi, ok if that works then use it because the issue is a little strange I have not had that issue unless it was caused by a bad firefox theme or gtk2 theme [18:24] lucaxxxxxx, ok.

[18:26] lucaxxxxxx, no, if you use synaptic you can easily find them. The Bad plugins don't mix with the Ugly plugins. They conflict [18:26] lucaxxxxxx, the package you WANT to have is ugly.

[18:31] janisozaur: I do not want an on-line converter. [18:31] lucaxxxxxx, that's weird. Either the file is not correct or you have some codecs mismatch.

(no need to install it) [18:33] ae: that way you dont have to take someone's word for it :) [18:33] Exodus: Thanks. I'm aware of those, none usable by my wife. I need something easy to use.

[18:49] Szkrabek: assuming you don't have other monitors hooked up or something on tv-out, that's a bit odd. Only other option is to use the alternative ISO for a non-GUI installer. [18:49] Szkrabek: hold left alt, click with left mouse button on the app and move it [18:49] heavenrider, the trick is binding the right plugins on the right keys. [18:49] i have the cube [18:49] is there a quick way to test whether a bootp server is responding? [18:49] Exodus, my wireless still shows not connect. I crested a new wireless connection called "Home". I also rebooted the system. still no effect. Do I have to put in the mac values?

[18:50] taylor_, that has a firmware that needs to be installed first. [18:51] outoftime, m0r0n i've never experienced that, although i have uploaded images to imageshack [18:51] outoftime: Ah. Thanks. Hopefully the new Ubuntu will fix that [18:51] m0r0n: nope - it's up to adobe to do it, and it's unlikely they will [18:51] m0r0n: it's a bug in their flash player for linux [18:51] janisozaur: Hm... which flash plugin do you have? [18:51] which is nonfree, so nobody can fix it [18:51] Exodus, It was in the Dell laptop when we bought it. [18:51] outoftime: is it possible that it's because i use x64? [18:51] Exodus, thanks, I'll r [18:51] taylor_, wait a sec [18:51] Szkrabek, no problem [18:52] janisozaur: no idea - afaik it's the code in the linux flash player itself. it totally blocks the process on uploads.

Do you need help finding out what your wireless card is? [18:53] is there any solution available to run a wireless card with the rtl r8185 chipset? the current kernel crashes ...

[18:54] how do you do? [18:54] q [18:54] taylor_, that's: lspci | grep 4311 [18:55] the internet signal detected in ubuntu is low, while the same signal in windows is full [18:55] weird user... [18:55] user01: I use a 20dBm wireless [18:55] user01, hello, two things, some drivers aren't perfect, meaning it's not that the signal is not strong, it's the driver that is just SHOWING it as low. [18:56] user01, two, depending on the driver you'll get different outcome. [18:56] Exodus, Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01 [18:56] m0r0n: checked [18:56] yeah I'd have to go with exodus that's what it sounds like to me too is just different drivers not reading the same [18:56] Exodus, if the wireless card can output 20dBm, what antenna would I need for optimal performance? [18:56] m0r0n: fully working all the time [18:57] I currently have a 7dB antenna on it [18:57] m0r0n: even watching some metacafe (as youtube is down atm) flash vid [18:57] mnaines, it really depends on how far you're trying to link up. [18:57] m0r0n: while uploading === Eka is now known as Guest90297 [18:57] Exodus, I see, is there anything I can do to change the driver? In windows I have 100% while in ubuntu I only get 1 out of 4 bars [18:57] Exodus: Its not the distance...Its that I have to connect through walls with a lot of RFI [18:58] how do I open up a new window without closing this one, if I just type /join $? will it close it on pidgin/ [18:58] Is there a IRC channel intended for documentators? [18:58] m0r0n: http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/4189/zrzutekranuo.png check if it is the same version of uploader (i see no flash there) [18:58] I mean the Ubuntu documentation team [18:58] Exodus: There is a lot of harmonic resonance between my computer and the wireless router [18:58] I'm looking for help with fakeraid (BIOS RAID) 10 setup. In Ubiquity it's showing 2x RAID0 instead of one RAID10 [18:58] I just upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 and now I HAVE NO AUDIO?? MCP51 High Definition Audio [18:58] what do I do? [18:58] worked in 9.04 [18:59] !karmic | ibkanat [18:59] ibkanat: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [18:59] Yashy, you have to use the Alternate CD for RAID [18:59] ibkanat, play with "alsamixer" in the console [18:59] ibkanat: report a bug and ask in the right channel #ubuntu+1 [18:59] janisozaur: Same thing, I just have ad's on the side [19:00] m0r0n: x86 or x64? [19:00] Exodus, Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01 [19:00] mnaines, then it depends also on the amount of walls and what they're made of :P [19:00] how can I change my wireless card drivers? [19:00] taylor_, let me look up a good guide for you. [19:00] janisozaur: x86, not sure, I know it's not x64 for sure though === arch_enthusiast_ is now known as arch_enthusiast [19:00] hi... hello everyone, I have a little bit of trouble with dual boot.. I can't start windows even after reinstalling grub. I have detailed the problems here http://pastebin.com/m410f04b4 === cha0s_ is now known as mr_cha0s [19:00] please take a look if you have a min [19:01] Exodus, thanks - I been on the search several days now. [19:01] * inspire` sips beer [19:01] cumulus007: I'm pretty sire I am, as it said SATA RAID detected at the "Detect disks" stage. But at the "Partition Disks" stage it's showing two RAID 0s instead of one RAID 10. [19:01] taylor_, here we are: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [19:01] m0r0n: i use x64, adobe rarely releases updates for this architecture, but i think it is up to date with other releases [19:02] taylor_, the driver is there, but the firmware isn't, that page will show you how to 'cut' the firmware. [19:02] m0r0n: i use 10.0.32.18, check it at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ [19:03] * inspire` Lucky Peterson - Black Midnight Sun - 01 - Herbert Harper's Free Press News.mp3 [19:03] janisozaur: I have 10.0.32.18 also [19:03] janisozaur: I checked Synapic's [19:03] how can I know what is the current driver in my system for the wireless card? [19:04] m0r0n: if it's not x64 (which is known to have problems with 32-bit flash plugin), then i can't help you any further, sorry [19:04] Exodus, what do you mean "cut" the firmware? [19:04] janisozaur: np, at least you just answered me, I've ask this question a couple times no one seems to know anything about it [19:04] taylor_, hehe, just follow the guide, you'll use a program falled fwcutter, it cuts the firmware from the windows drivers pretty much. [19:05] taylor_, you don't have to cut anything, the programs will :) [19:05] Exodus, thanks for your help. [19:05] taylor_, np [19:06] hi i am trying to install phpmyadmin after booting from dvd (live) i see i need to change deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy main universe multiverse restricted but i cant do that as its locked is there another way i can grab it ? [19:06] user01: lshw -C Network | grep -i driver [19:06] scatterp, locked how? what program are you using? [19:06] nano [19:07] remember im booted from a live cd... [19:07] I did a command sudo apt-get install xdotools it isntalled correctly but how do I open it? I can't find it [19:07] i guess i just need a .deb or something ? [19:07] you're trying to install phpmyadmin from a livecd? [19:07] Exodus, yes [19:07] m0r0n: i think you might check if it is flash-related - just remove the flash plugin and go to imageshack to check if the problem persists [19:08] vtec_, what is xdotools? [19:08] vtec_, do you mean xdotool? [19:08] scatterp, try installing ubuntu first :P [19:08] it's a program from the synaptics [19:09] How do I open an app I dled from package manager if I don't find it in my menus? [19:09] right click on it in synaptic, go to Files, and see what files it has. [19:09] how can i download a whole folder from a website preserving its subfolders structure?? [19:09] vtec_, some packages are command line tools, or aren't the big of a program to have a menu spot [19:10] luist: wget -r --no-parent url/folder [19:10] hey guys [19:10] erUSUL: thanks.. where will that download to? [19:11] luist, to the folder you're currently in [19:12] I am trying to make my panels transparent like shown here http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/BlueSpace?content=73599 but its confusing me. help? [19:13] luist: current folder [19:13] erUSUL: it download just a folder with index.html -.- [19:14] vtec_, the command is: xdotool [19:14] vtec_, either open a console and type "xdotool" or press alt+f2 and type it. [19:14] does anyone know what the consol version of vlc is called, i forgot >.< [19:14] I'm looking for help with fakeraid (BIOS RAID) 10 setup. In Ubiquity it's showing 2x RAID0 instead of one RAID10 [19:15] Buckie, vlc-nox [19:15] Exodus: thankyou very much [19:15] Exodus thats what i thought but its bugged somehow [19:15] hello all just got my ubuntu installed came from windows but i have a quick question [19:15] vtec_, you're welcome [19:15] Exodus -bash: vlc-nox: command not found [19:15] luist: dunno should work. check wget man page [19:15] Buckie, well, the package is called vlc-nox ;) [19:15] Buckie, "aptitude install vlc-nox" [19:16] i used to be running windows 7 as stated before but i still need it for work documents and such... is there a way to use my old partition of windows in linux and if so how [19:16] Exodus it just tells me 3 packages was not upgraded [19:17] Buckie, it is probably installed. Let's check doing a "aptitude show vlc-nox" [19:17] good evening [19:17] Yashy: is that a dual boot machine, or ist it linux-only? [19:17] Buckie, if it is, the second line should say "State: Installed" [19:17] can anyone help? [19:17] stefg: brand new machine, nothing yet, will be linux only [19:18] handshake, installing ubuntu has many options, one of them is living next to other operating systems like windows. [19:18] i don;t understand a word of your discussion [19:18] Yashy: i'd forget about about bios fakeraid (dmraid) and use softraid (mdadm). [19:18] Exodus yes its installed, it also tells me that its in conflict with vlc [19:19] exodus i understand that but i want to do like a virtual machine but use my old partition [19:19] handshake, virtual machines usually use a file image to hold their virtual hard drives, you don't actually need a real partition [19:19] Yashy: the CPU does the heavy lifting anyway, and mdadm is much more flexible and compatible (and you don't need to wait for the raid bios at boot-time) [19:19] handshake, VirtualBox is capable of booting your RAW partition - this might get you started http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=769883 also check the VBox manual and the "working with RAW" partitions [19:19] Buckie, if it is installed, run it. "vlc" [19:20] stefg: I assumed using the BIOS/hardware would have some speed advantages? [19:20] exodus then what can i do to run my old windows partition virtually in linux? [19:20] you know what guys?You are not too hospitable [19:20] Buckie, http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/vlc-nox/filelist shows all the files in that package. there's "vlc" "nvlc" and others. [19:20] handshake: ask in #vbox maybe virtualbox can do it [19:20] handshake, FYI you might run into MS validation issues BTW [19:20] ok thanks guys [19:20] Yashy: no... it's no real hardware raid. It's mainly intended for stupid OS's which can't deal with raid on pure software :-) [19:20] stefg: for that do I just tell the BIOS 4 seperate disks and let mdadm do it all? [19:21] i'd better go watch some cartoons [19:21] Yashy: right [19:21] bbut don't ever ask me to come back!! [19:21] handshake: the question is not if vbox can boot off of a parition in the disk. the question is would win7 survive a hardware change under its feet ? [19:21] Yashy: and you need the alternate installer [19:21] i'm serious!! [19:21] wit, <3 [19:21] stefg: So there is no such thing as BIOS RAID doing real hardware raid? [19:22] cumulus007: I'm pretty sire I am, as it said SATA RAID detected at the "Detect disks" stage. But at the "Partition Disks" stage it's showing two RAID 0s instead of one RAID 10. [19:22] handshake, you can install ubuntu after windows 7 [19:22] oops, I meant that for stefg [19:22] handshake, don't be frightened, I've done it. [19:22] Hi all, was wondering if someone might be able to assist. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on friends system over a windows 7 install (created new partition for the install) but now windows is not showing up in GRUB, and there is no menu.lst to check out. [19:22] handshake, just repartition the windows partition and install ubuntu if you want to dual boot [19:22] Perry__: karmic (in beta) uses grub2. go to #ubuntu+1 [19:22] Exodus I did run it many times but i get this message : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/284800/ [19:23] ok [19:23] Yashy: "Bios" raid uses the CPU for all calculations, just like softraid.. there's just one abstrction layer added to hide this fact from windows. linux doesn't need that [19:23] Buckie, use "cvlc" [19:23] stefg: OK Thanks, not sure why I bought a MB with RAID then :) [19:23] Buckie, says it right there :P "[00000001] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface." [19:24] Yashy: bedcause you wanted the extra sata-ports [19:24] Yashy: you need the extra sata ports anyway [19:24] Buckie, don't expect anything cute without any windows ;) [19:24] Hi, does anybody know how to deprioritize a backup script? It's bringing my computer to a halt. [19:25] mlissner: probably you want ionice [19:25] mlissner, look into nice / renice etc. [19:25] mlissner: man nice [19:25] mlissner, nice values is what you're looking for [19:25] Exodus it still makes some error : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/284803/ [19:25] I tried giving it a high nice value, but that didn't help. [19:25] ionice sounds promising though [19:25] ahh makes sense. Thanks guys. Will the ncurses installer let me use mdadm or should I jump to console before detect disks and do it manually? [19:25] * erUSUL a backup script is probably IO bound not cpu bound [19:25] mlissner, http://www.nixtutor.com/linux/changing-priority-on-linux-processes/ [19:26] Buckie, do a "cvlc --help" of "man vlc" I think there's a --nox parameter that goes with that command [19:27] I'll install vlc [19:27] Yashy: the alternate installer will let you set it up. but i find it soemwhat counter-intuitive and usually prepare my disk beforehand and present a readily made array to the installer. [19:28] godstar: check this-- http://www.archive.org/details/FuckingMacs [19:28] thanks for your help stefg, will try this. [19:28] Yashy: and raid 10 is special, too.. although mdadm supports native raid-10 the installer will make you create two raid-1 arrays, that you then raid 0 [19:28] anyone who's good at macs is welcome to see if they can figure this one out =] [19:28] I need to tell SSH to allow password authentication. What line in ssh_config Do I change to make that happen? [19:28] stefg: I usually run Hardware Raid before I install Ubuntu [19:28] !raid | Yashy [19:28] Yashy: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [19:28] ok good to know [19:29] How would I install software from my PPA instead from the original PPA (even if it's older)? [19:29] <{Onyx}> Hmm, I was runing a HDD test/recover from ultimate boot cd and now my secondary drive doesn't mount. When I try to mount it is says I have to specify file system but when I do it says incorrect fs [19:29] I want the softwareraid one instead of fakeraid now :) [19:29] original PPA = original repos [19:29] peol, you have to give your repo priority [19:29] <{Onyx}> I'm guessing runing HDD tools from ultimate boot cd isn't a good idea for an ext3 file system. [19:30] I have a question on what version of ubuntu should i use [19:30] peol, it's called pinning [19:30] I will give my specifications [19:30] peol, http://wiki.debian.org/AptPinning [19:30] !pinning [19:30] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [19:30] Exodus: Awesome, thanks [19:30] Yashy: esp. beacause you want a small, all raid1 (4 partitions) /boot partition, your OS on a direct raid 10, and all the data stuff on a lvm.... stupid bios can't do that [19:31] peol, np, although https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto is prettier page ^_^ [19:31] I have 2 GHz processor, Intel Pentinum 4, 256 MB SyncDRAM, 32MB AGP 3D Graphics card. Should i use Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or Xubuntu? [19:31] <{Onyx}> PCTeacher, except for ram your system is better than mine and ubuntu runs ok. [19:32] PCTeacher012: the problemis the ram. it wouñb be grat if you can add some more. with 256 install xubuntu [19:32] PCTeacher012: make sure you download the alternative installer, ram is not enough [19:32] PCTeacher012, think about upgrading your memory and you could use regular Ubuntu, but with only 256 Xubuntu is probably more suited [19:32] whenever i try to boot a LiveCD from this macbook, i can get past the boot menu but then i get this "[5.162415] Not responding. " [19:32] hi; how much space do i need for installing ubuntu? [19:32] erUSUL: Okay, Thanks, what is the alternative installer? [19:32] PCTeacher012, it's usually just called sdram :P [19:32] !requirements [19:32] Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu [19:32] !alternate | PCTeacher012 [19:32] PCTeacher012: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [19:33] exodus: Mine actually says SyncDRam xD [19:33] PCTeacher012, hehe, that's pretty cool [19:33] erUSUL: Is it still easy to install with? [19:33] PCTeacher012: is a cuses based installer like the first half of the winXP installer [19:34] PCTeacher012, the installer is going to be very slow because you don't have all that much memory. But after you install it should run pretty quick. [19:34] PCTeacher012: you navigate with cursosr keys tab and enter/space [19:34] erUSUL and Exodus: Okay, thanks. My computer ran the LiveCD installer of ubuntu fine [19:34] LOL [19:34] DPic: have you tried talking to someone in #mac to see if they knew about installing Ubuntu on mac hardware? [19:34] PCTeacher012, oh nice. Then go ahead and install :) [19:34] hey [19:35] LjL: <3 [19:35] PCTeacher012: well min req ask for 384 MB ;P [19:35] PCTeacher012: I already have ubuntu installed, just seeing if it is right for my computer lol [19:35] godstar: didn't even know that was a channel. heading over now [19:35] <{Onyx}> Guess I'm just going to finish runing the hard drive scan on this thing and let it repair the disk all the way and if that doesn't work forget about it. [19:35] DPic: good luck. [19:35] <{Onyx}> Just a stupid 40gb IDE disk anyway [19:35] Odd thing is: Manufacturer says i have 256 MB, but when i went to msinfo32 on windows, it said i had 512 O.o I have never upgraded ram [19:35] erUSUL, that's the recommended settings for memory [19:36] hi [19:36] godstar: thanks for your help [19:36] PCTeacher012, it was probably adding the swap to the memory [19:36] DPic: anytime. [19:36] PCTeacher012: maybe someone elses did :) type « free -m » on a terminal [19:36] how do i go about making 9.10 recognize my wifi card ? (via based) [19:36] <{Onyx}> actually, since this hdd is jacked anyway and I've got backtrack booted I'm going to play around with its recovery tools [19:36] erUSUL: Okay, and c/p it? [19:36] DPic: I am interested to know if it installs.

When I boot Ubuntu I hear the system sounds when I log on and when the logon screen shows up BUT now for some reason when I open my Music Player or watch a video my sound doesn't work... I'm using ALSA..I've tried this command sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [19:45] http://www.debianadmin.com/linux-ethernet-bonding-configuration.html does this mean i can hook my dsl and cable modem up and load balance my tcp connections over them [19:45] and it doesn't really work for me the sound doesn't get restored. Under my volume control I have HDA NVidia (Alsa mixer) and I have Realtek ALC662 rec1 (OSS Mixer), can anyone help? Thanks [19:45] erSuL : what u mean just add "eepro100" on modules [19:46] skyn3t: just that will make the module be modprobed on boot [19:46] !tab | skyn3t [19:46] skyn3t: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:46] erUSUL: Actually, I think it works. I just checked in htop, and bc had a nice value of 10. I'm guessing I DID nice iotop, which in turn niced whatever program it called. [19:46] vtec_, Have you tried the OSS Mixer? [19:46] mlissner: ok [19:47] let me try and i get back to ya [19:47] 1 sec [19:47] Is there anyway to.. i dont know... Replicate compiz without using it? [19:47] erUSUL, that brings up errors about removing phpmyadmin maybe i already have it [19:47] erUSUL: Yeah, weird, but it seems to work. [19:47] vtec_: make sure you configure all apps to use pulseaudio/esd output [19:47] can i list the apps i installed, but only the ones that appear on the application menu? [19:47] Growlithe: Yes I have tried to use the OSS Mixer as device and it doesn't work, I removed PulseAudio before becasue I was suggested to, and it worked fine without PA..that was a few weeks ago [19:48] What is a good place to find out all the technical stuff to do with linux? Because i knew tons about windows, and how to fix almost anything on it, but on linux, i dont know crud. Where could i learn how to? [19:48] does anyone have an alternative keyserver (or alternative means of getting a key for a ppa?) [19:48] can anyone recommend a nice HTML editor? I have troubles with NVU and kompozer thanks to GTK version. and open office makes my pages HTML really messy. Bluefish is not much help either. [19:48] godstar: they were useless =[ [19:48] erUSUL, that brings up errors about removing phpmyadmin maybe i already have it but when i try to visit 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/ i get a 404 error [19:48] PCTeacher012, google is my best source [19:49] stinky: haha okay, but i want like an all in one resource (site) that can help me lol :P [19:49] stinky: in general, visual HTML editors are completely useless [19:49] PCTeacher012: have a problem, fix it. read blogs. planet ubuntu. same way you did on windows. [19:49] PCTeacher012: how you learned all the stuff you know about windos ? ... let me guess using it over the years ;) [19:49] PCTeacher012: there are not magic web pages/books. only experience :) [19:50] PCTeacher012, I was not being sarcastic.. sorry some people say to google stuff to be rude [19:50] PCTeacher012: try to do something difficult you don't know how to do. [19:50] ;) Yea, haha erUSUL. One more question. Wine: How do i configure it to open ALL EXEs? [19:50] PCTeacher012, google helps a lot [19:50] Without right click, open with wine application launcher [19:50] PCTeacher012: right click an exe > properties > open with, choose wine [19:50] PCTeacher012, click on the exe open with the first time and tick dont ask again [19:51] PCTeacher012: once installed it will do. at least it does here... the faxt that it opens them does not guarantee the pexe will work ok [19:51] erUSUL, that brings up errors about removing phpmyadmin maybe i already have it but when i try to visit 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/ i get a 404 error [19:51] !appdb | PCTeacher012 [19:51] PCTeacher012: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [19:51] PCTeacher012, look in nautalis , rightclick on an exe and it will allow you to change what application opens it [19:51] erUSUL : its work :) [19:51] thanks man [19:51] PCTeacher012, it is underr the EXE files prefrences [19:51] oh, and who needed the key update? and thank, i got it working [19:51] !lamp | scatterp never installed it myself maybe here there are some tips [19:51] scatterp never installed it myself maybe here there are some tips: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [19:51] skyn3t: no problem [19:52] :) [19:52] So there are not any useful html editors for linux? could someone suggest a good windows one? I have wine up and running good. [19:52] !html | stinky [19:52] stinky: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [19:53] thanks erUSUL :) [19:53] can i list the apps i installed, but only the ones that appear on the application menu? [19:53] i want to see all the packages i, as a user can use. not kernel/internal packages. [19:53] skyn3t: aptana studio ? (eclipse based) [19:53] owen1: No easy way that I know of, no. [19:53] because to update a key code, open terminal, type sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys KEYCODE (Replace KEYCODE with the key they gave you) [19:54] I had to do that when i had linux mint lol [19:54] mlissner: ok [19:54] How can I use ~/.gtkrc-2.0 to change the font size inside applications (like gnome-terminal)? When I use gtk-font-name = "geneva 12" ; it just changes the size of the menu fonts. [19:54] It doesnt have Software Sources T_T [19:54] owen1: It's possible (likely) that the menu config is somewhere in a file, but from there you'd have to extract it and such...probably not an easy task. [19:54] hi, if I copy some files via a cp -rvp /myFiles* /destination, how can I see the Mbit/s of this copy command? is there a tool I can pipe the command through? [19:54] stinky: aptana studio ? (eclipse based) <<< [19:54] owen1: maybe something like: for x in /usr/share/applications/*.desktop; do dpkg -S $x; done is close enough? [19:54] skyn3t: sorry; the aptana tip was not for you [19:54] HazeFaze: you might try iotop [19:54] HazeFaze: use rsync [19:55] hi room [19:55] hi SGottl7227 [19:55] HazeFaze: pv can measure the data through a pipe. but you will have to use a more convoluted command [19:55] shai: why not use system > preferences > appearance > fonts to change size? [19:56] how come when i watch the official web site for 2012 trailer.. when i make the image full screen it starts to flicker [19:56] ssmy, Because that doesn't affect on apps I start via SSH X11 Forwarding [19:56] shai I see. hmm [19:56] <_raven_> how to install a hauppauge analogue-cable pci card? tnx... [19:56] the abode flash works fine at small size [19:56] erUSUL: thank you I look through the man page, thx mlissner and jrib too [19:56] HazeFaze: something like tar cpf - /myFiles* | pv | tar xf - -C /destination [19:56] jrib: i'll try it. thanks [19:56] erUSUL, you rock, thank you very much :) [19:57] stinky: no problem === xT|Fish is now known as Fish__ [19:57] erUSUL : no prob u already helped me :) [19:58] Hi. I have this: http://www2.oregonscientific.com/shop/product.asp?cid=2&scid=84&pid=83 weather station. It has a serial port. and im thinking how it would be possible to connect it to a linux desktop that would send the information to mySQL server every 5 minutes, so the current weather could be seen on a web-page.. [19:58] What program shall I use for a virtual windows xp client? [19:58] Can BASH fix like almost every problem? LOL [19:58] I want to make a timer to play last fm for 3 hours and cut off. [19:58] anybody have any help for SGottl7227? I have that problem too, actually. [19:58] BASH can fix everything but marital problems and impotence. [19:58] something wrong with the adobe player at full screen on 2012 web page.. the official page [19:59] HappyHobo: LOL [19:59] HappyHobo: How are you playing last fm? [19:59] happyHobo. make a bash script [19:59] that would sleep 3 hours and then killall lastfm [19:59] natrixnatrix89: you will have to find out the protocol the station uses if it is simple enough maybe you can cook up a script to do what you want [19:59] warbio: I think most peopole use the terminal client [19:59] Why wont Youtube videos play correctly -_- D: [19:59] mlissner: I'm playing it from the menu normally [20:00] PCTeacher012, do you not have sound? [20:00] PCTeacher012: Because you are doing it wrong [20:00] HappyHobo: You mean from within Firefox? [20:00] erUSUL: where do i find the protocol? And i have no experience with serial ports+linux [20:00] stinky: I do, but the sound is very very very jumpy [20:00] mlissner: ok, how do I use/start it? === Martinp26 is now known as Martinp23 [20:00] erUSUL: is there some documentation I could read? [20:00] natrixnatrix89: google is your friend http://www.wviewweather.com/ [20:00] What's a better IDE for java development other than eclipse? [20:01] on ubuntu. [20:01] phix: Truly that does not help at all. [20:01] warbio: tsclient, I believe should start it. I have it listed under applications > Internet > terminal client [20:01] mlissner: lastfm is a separate player from firefox [20:01] PCTeacher012, I had problems installing the Adobe flash package, I got rid of it, and installed it from synaptic to fix my sound. Might be a diffrent problem than you are having though [20:01] The video i am trying to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQbGhImpMKI [20:01] ssmy: thanks [20:01] stinky: Okay, ill try it out [20:01] PCTeacher012: Are you at the latest Flash version? [20:01] How exactly do i do it? I installed Gnash instead of adobe for some reason [20:01] natrixnatrix89: np. looks like it does everything you need too. [20:01] HappyHobo: Ah, OK. You can also play last fm music through amarok, FF, banshee, etc. [20:02] mlissner: ok thanks for the help [20:02] warbio: np [20:02] sudo apt-get remove gnash I think [20:02] lizzzy: netbeans ? [20:02] or remoev it from synaptic [20:02] ssmy yep and looks like it supports my station [20:02] lastfm player is easiest. I want to start the player and then have it turn off after half an hour. [20:02] ssmy: did you google that? [20:02] jumbers: IDK, ill install it from their site real quuck. stinky, ill run though it [20:02] natrixnatrix89: given how well it supports it, I want one. would be so cool. [20:02] erUSUL: It's too heavy. Something made for ubuntu??? [20:03] and then sudo apt-get install flash [20:03] ? [20:03] PCTeacher012, search for gnash in synaptic right click on it, and select to completely remove it, then you can install the flash [20:03] no gnash [20:03] sudo synaptic [20:03] stinky: I did it thought terminal [20:03] lizzzy: and editor + the terminal is the unix way ;P [20:03] natrixnatrix89: yes. exact query: "weather station oregon scientific linux" === [1]sassyn is now known as sassyn [20:03] gnash is totally free but totally junk [20:03] natrixnatrix89: first result [20:03] lizzzy: maybe emacs and a special mode [20:03] go with the non-free flash it always works [20:03] ssmy: thanks again.. sorry im a noob.. [20:03] PCTeacher012: The package is called adobe-flashplugin [20:03] jumbers: Thank you, installing now [20:04] natrixnatrix89: np, we all have to learn. been there, done that. [20:04] make sure you have firefox closed [20:04] lizzzy: http://jdee.sourceforge.net/ [20:04] erUSUL: Haha.. I'd use the terminal way, but I like debugging with an IDE better. Emacs? Hmm.. ok. Lemme check it out then. [20:04] HappyHobo: Hmmm...I don't know if the lastfm player has command line arguments to stop it without suspending or killing the app, but if you ran something like sleep 30 && killall lastfm, that would terminate the program after 30 seconds. [20:04] HappyHobo: Obviously it doesn't in this case [20:04] jumbers: I got an error. Ill just install from their site [20:04] Er, misread what you said [20:05] if you make the movie larger at this site.. it is flickering all over and unwatchable [20:05] http://www.whowillsurvive2012.com/ [20:05] PCTeacher012: What error? [20:05] HappyHobo: You might also try doing a man lastfm, and seeing if you can stop it via commandline. [20:05] something wrong with adobe flash player and ubuntu [20:06] This package is currently referred to by another package, or is only avaible from another source [20:06] but im installing its .deb [20:06] Okay [20:06] is there a fix out there? [20:06] always a fix [20:06] or should i just trash my computer? [20:06] http://www.whowillsurvive2012.com/.. it is very choppy full size [20:06] lizzzy: also written in java there is jedit [20:07] SGottl7227: compiz enabled? [20:07] windows doesn't do that [20:07] hi [20:07] [20:07] you can bring back to the default my network with ubuntu? [20:07] hey guys, has qt creator been removed? can't seem to see it in the package list anymore :s [20:07] Hello! I'm possibly dim-witted but I'm struggeling to get the network to work the way I want for virtualized computer running on my Ubuntu server. What I'm trying to achieve is guest networks acting as if they were physically attached to my switch, i.e. using my ISPs DHCP or having static LAN-addresses. (sketch, kindof: http://vault.etrai.net/net.png ) I've tried googling for two days now without result...any ideas? [20:08] lizzzy: http://java-source.net/open-source/ides [20:08] irc://irc.freenode.net/#transmission [20:08] erUSUL: What VM software are you using? [20:08] Oups. [20:08] tdw: Type /join #transmission [20:08] what is studio 9,40 [20:08] Good! Adobe flash player made it full and fast! Thanks :D:D:D [20:09] erUSUL, I just found screem, it is a really nice website development suite. it is even supported by ubuntu :) [20:09] PCTeacher012: Yeah, Adobe finally decided to make a working Linux plugin [20:09] but what about http://www.whowillsurvive2012.com/ this site.. does it work on full screen for u? [20:09] grawity: VM as VBox ? none really when i try some iso i use kvm [20:09] [20:09] Browse more no, I ruined my configuration .. [20:09] i am talking about the video [20:09] jumbers: Glad i got linux at a good time :) [20:09] stinky: screem was mentioned in the factoid...

Ignore that. [20:10] lol! I must be blind [20:10] SGottl7227: you probably need to change one setting. install advanced desktop effects settings from add/remove. open it System > PReferences > COmpizconfig settings manager. go to general options. toggle unredirect fullscreen windows [20:10] !html [20:10] What package is glxgears installed in? [20:10] let me try [20:10] can any one tell if i install 9.40 befor studio [20:10] or rather packaged in. [20:10] SGottl7227: also, "Windows doesn't do that" doesn't help. quit whining and people will be more willing to help [20:11] godstar: i'm going to try the alternate install CD but i'm worried because i won't be able to test the graphics with that until it's installed and i had a problem with that on an iMac at my school [20:11] Final question for right now maybe. Is it possible to make my camera/mic to work on linux? The camera/mic is a PS2 Logitech EyeToy [20:11] I know it works for PC Lol [20:11] which webcam would you recommend? [20:11] !glxgears [20:11] To display the FPS in glxgears, run 'glxgears' in a terminal. [20:11] Etrai: you need to bridge the connection, they'd need to get dhcp from the lan then go through the host [20:11] !webcam | test34 [20:11] test34: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [20:11] NoCode, it's in MESA somewhere - not sure specifically what package [20:12] NoCode: mesa-utils [20:12] mesa-utils [20:12] yes [20:12] thanks [20:12] PCTeacher012, check this out: [20:12] hi, folks.

[20:12] does anybody have glibc-2.10.1 installed ? [20:13] on x86 [20:13] !anybody | denis| [20:13] denis|: 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? [20:13] stinky: I really do not want to buy a new webcam lol. [20:13] ActionParsnip: thanks! but if I'm running servers, say web servers, on both the host and one or more of the VMs how would this work out? because I'm thinking "then go through the host" means using IPTables and forwarding, yes? [20:13] ssmy: Of course, it was plugged in when i installed. I will unplug then replug it [20:13] ubottu: ok, i need to now, if a package called ace works for somebody with glibc-2.10.1 on x86 [20:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:14] Nevermind O_O It was not plugged in --_- [20:14] yea, he mentions why it did not work PCTeacher012 , there might be a workaround somewhere dont give up [20:14] PCTeacher012: always worth a try to make sure it isn't the obvious. [20:14] PCTeacher012: =) see?

[20:15] PCTeacher012, look in the audio controls, and make sure the mic is not muted, some devices are muted by default for some reason [20:15] plugged in now [20:16] uhh,,, Stinky, where do i find that? [20:16] Etrai: no, you need to create a bridge between the physical NIC and the guest NIC [20:16] Is there a better browser for watching Flash movies (Like Hulu) for Ubuntu? Firefox is incredibly slow after a time period and it pisses me off. [20:16] PCTeacher012, look in the system try, the speaker icon [20:16] tray [20:16] just found it haha [20:16] Etrai: the guests will get a LAN IP which will make them visible on the LAN as a proper PC, you acn then perform port forwarding as you wish [20:17] _raven_, the easiest thing to do might be to install mythbuntu-control-centre and then you'll have a GUI way to setup your TV card. Good luck man. [20:17] stinky: I changed it to: Sony Corporation Logitech Eyetoy Camera USB (ALSA) and when i click test i hear a quick fuzz [20:17] <_raven_> ok tnx [20:18] nice try talking into it [20:18] it might be working [20:18] so no one knows if qt-creator has been removed somehow?

[20:24] ok its updating the packages list now :) [20:24] erUSUL, thanks i'll look into it now [20:24] Quasar1048, does port 6697 use ssl [20:24] ActionParsnip: ok, but that is what I'm trying to avoid =) I would like to have my guests act and appear as if they were physically connected to my network switch, which is hooked up directly to my internet socket (RJ-45 in the wall). I currently have a couple of things attached to the switch (xbox, some windows boxes, etc.) which are configured to either use the internet connection (DHCP) or LAN (static IP) or both (lik [20:24] e the one I'm using now). Is this possible? [20:24] ActionParsnip, thanx [20:24] SuspectZero: no problem [20:24] (sorry for novell) [20:24] zleap: its depends on the servers... one uses 6697, another 9999 and one uses 7000- nonne of them will connect [20:25] ok [20:25] not sure then [20:25] I do have a firewall(guarddog) but I did set it to allow those ports... [20:25] There are those cheap chinese mobile phones that run windows mobile. Is it possible to install linux on such cell phone? Or there is no linux operating system made for a cell phone. I know there was sth made for ipod. Is there anything to replace windows mobile? [20:25] or... perhaps I just thought i did? [20:26] natrixnatrix89, try googleing your celphone model# and the words "install linux", that is how i found out how to install linux on my phone [20:26] I'm following a guide to use it [20:26] Etrai: they will be attatched to the LAN. unless you configure your host as a router then have the guests using the host as a gateway, using the LAN is much cleaner [20:26] ActionParsnip: ok, thanks alot! =D [20:27] sysinfo:pregs [20:28] stinky: really - tuxmobil.org [20:28] It is actually in the product list for working webcams.

I use the fglx drivers with my ati card.

[21:05] Roasted: its the weakness of workgroups, no central management for users [21:05] ActionParsnip - But when the user logs in to their XP computer, and goes start - run - \\myserver, they have to log in again. I'm wondering if there's a way to auto-authenticate that portion [21:05] <{Onyx}1> hmmm apt is having a hard time hitting a couple repositories.

If you need a file-server and want some preconfigured ldap i'd look at !ebox [21:09] zebastian: you have to use tar to do the backup [21:09] ActionParsnip - Yeah, I thought about that, but I dual boot and I'm not always in Ubuntu, so I didnt want to have them face any error messages. Every night at 4 am is when the backup occurs, and Im in bed by 1am latest so Im always in ubuntu by the time they run the backup [21:09] erUSUL: tar ? [21:09] Thanks guys! SImple-ccsm did the trick! [21:09] please elaborate [21:09] zebastian: and vfat has a 4GiB limit on filesize so [21:10] Roasted: Then you'll need to manage tht for the backup to complete [21:10] erUSUL: tar? [21:10] zebastian: tar cvzpf /media/SAMSUNG/mybackup.tgz /home/sebastian/ [21:11] ActionParsnip - I suppose I could just hit "remember this" in the password box for each user when they go to start - run - \\myserver, haaaa.... [21:11] zebastian: vfat has a 4GiB limit on filesize so maybe not even that would work (if the backupfie is too large) [21:11] erUSUL: if i copy and paste that into the terminal it will do a backup of everything on the laptop? [21:11] brandan, try opening terminal and typing 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' [21:11] Ubuntu wont play any MP3s for me, can anyone else provide some hints how I can fix it?

But I'd at least expect it to play mp3 files ;) === lemurian is now known as Guest66152 === Guest66152 is now known as lemurian_ [22:17] taylor_: what's the good word? :) [22:17] Wunderbar: Freeaqingme: well, apparently it's broken in Karmic. Wait, maybe that's the improvement.... [22:17] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lua-scripted_video_games lot of big titles on there as well as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lua_%28programming_language%29#Other [22:17] use quodlibet if you need an all in one solution [22:18] okay guys i get the point about lua [22:18] :) [22:18] ;p [22:18] FiReSTaRT, Thanks. I did that earlier, must of lost it somehow. [22:18] looks like i'll have to learn lua :( [22:18] how to update from 9.04 to 9.10 and what are the key differences between the 2 please [22:18] taylor_: ok so is the driver finally installed? did you test your wireless adapter? [22:19] nah, Wunderbar, I didn't know lua when I wrote my config, I learned lua after that, and I know little more about configuring awesome, it is not strictly necessary to know lua to configure it [22:19] FiReSTaRT, I'm using it right now!! [22:19] system404: currently the principal difference seems to be that 9.10 is even more broken, unstable and not ready-to-be-used than 9.04 [22:19] i tried configuring awesome 3.3 without knowing lua and it turned into an almighty mess [22:19] taylor_: great news :) glad it worked for you buddy.. time for me to grab some lunch.. l8ah [22:19] losha: so its not advisable to upgrade to this edition yet then [22:19] by comparison my 2.3 config was a thing of beauty [22:19] system404: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/beta and read the WHOLE page! [22:20] system404: i'd just like to get off poseidon [22:20] losha: cheers [22:20] i installed flashplugin-nonfree and it crashes firefox whenever i try to see flash videos [22:20] Wunderbar, after installing a missing package it even plays mp3 files. So it being broken can't be the improvement.. ;) [22:20] system404: it's still in beta, so do not use for anything you can't afford to lose... [22:20] poseidon? [22:20] some ubuntu derivative, system404 [22:20] yep [22:20] ahh lol [22:20] anyone know what the problem is? [22:21] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poseidon_Linux [22:21] o.O... it's not some ubuntu derivate but the comming release... [22:21] I need help with ndiswrapper, I installed without error but when I try to install the windows driver I get "couldn't open driver.inf: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 219." [22:21] ons drives on desktop gnome [22:21] yofel, what? [22:21] techlobyte1: you're the only person I know who runs poseidon, It's supposed to be a Ubuntu derivative, so moving shouldn't be too much of a chore. What's stopping you? [22:21] techlobyte1: 9.10 is the next ubuntu release coming 29th october [22:21] yofel: we are talking about Poseidon Linux not karmic koala [22:22] losha: i forgot my evolution mail passwords [22:22] oh, my miss then, sry [22:22] all but one that is [22:23] I need help with ndiswrapper, I installed without error but when I try to install the windows driver I get "couldn't open driver.inf: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 219."

[22:26] !keys | joeyjones: does this help? [22:26] joeyjones: does this help?: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [22:26] losha: learn something new everyday [22:26] peace all [22:27] techlobyte1: that's just as it should be... [22:27] yofel: just had a read of that page you advised so basicly nothings changed at all really couple of tweaks bad ones at that and they call it a new distro eh [22:28] durt: what kind of 'file'? [22:28] yofel: there wasnt much there at all that appealed to me as an end user [22:28] losha, sonar from the xscreensavers. [22:28] system404: nowadays, a change of background color seems to qualify as a new distro [22:29] a bit like windows 7 [22:29] hehe [22:29] losha, actually I'm not sure where it's located, it's not in /usr/bin [22:29] Hello. I installed ubuntu desktop because I didn't have a server iso & I can't burn on this laptop due to some bug even if I did download it. What packages should I be installing/removing to get a more server-like install? [22:29] well, karmic has a lot of system-related changes, gnome and kde don't have that many though [22:29] windows 7 aka vista (the way it shoulda been) [22:29] i am using ssh user@host but some days ago i reinstall the host, so its another key and ssh wont connect because of that. is there a way to force ssh to use the new key? [22:30] Mike_lifeguard, what is the server going to do? [22:30] iceroot: it should tell you the line in .ssh/known_hosts that is outdated. delete that line and it will connect again [22:30] iceroot: use the -i option [22:30] durt: /usr/lib/xscreensaver/sonar on my system [22:30] im unable to download anything, my windows 7 stoped working so i install ubuntu and in the partition manager i selected run with windows [22:30] Mike_lifeguard: Really depends on what you prefer and are use to, one moment though. === miguel is now known as Guest36717 [22:30] now it says i have no space left when i download [22:31] any ideas? [22:31] losha, thx, now what do I do to it? [22:31] Mike_lifeguard: thanks [22:31] durt: MySQL replication, apache, php, mediawiki... and eventually it will need to serve /home on NFS [22:31] yofel: thank you [22:31] iceroot: np [22:31] how do I use a program once I have compiled it from the source code [22:31] someone?... [22:31] please: [22:31] ( [22:32] Mike_lifeguard: and then? ssh -i wants a file [22:32] shaullx, what is the problem ? [22:32] audigy6x: run the binary? [22:32] audigy6x, there should be some sort of executable in the directory, if it is foo use it with ./foo [22:32] iceroot: Yes, it wants the private key you will use to authenticate to the host [22:32] iceroot: normally this will be something like ~/.ssh/id_rsa [22:32] Hey, I installed firefox 3.5 over my 3.0 in ubuntu and I can't added google as a search engine in the top right. Any idea how to fix this? [22:32] Mike_lifeguard: hm [22:32] ok let me try [22:32] Mike_lifeguard: ok [22:33] durt: ping should already be setuid root. Isn't yours? ls -l /bin/ping [22:33] dyeohnyesus i installed ubuntu and in the setup i selected run with windows in partition manager now whenever i try to download something in firefox it says i have no space left [22:33] Mike_lifeguard: I think he means the server hash that's changed, would the id file help with that too? [22:33] eisenhower: ask the firefox folks? There is #firefox (or maybe #mozilla) on freenode, or they have irc.mozilla.net [22:33] i think its related to what ive done in partition manager but how to fix it? [22:33] yofel, iceroot: if that's the case, then you should verify the fingerprint, and trust the host if it is correct [22:34] iceroot: Maybe you should be clearer about what the problem is. [22:34] my update is taking a suspiciously long time setting up ipopd [22:34] like 5 minutes [22:34] losha, ya, ping's not the prob its sonar. [22:34] is something borked [22:34] shaullx, [22:34] where is it trying to download ? [22:34] iceroot: forget ssh -i. Edit the known_hosts file like yofel said... [22:35] run a df -h [22:35] something with tmp the error says [22:35] losha: cant find the line so i was clearing the hole file [22:35] losha: it didn't help [22:35] can you paste it? [22:35] Mike_lifeguard: This official guide might help: http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/faq [22:36] shaullx, better yet just paste the output of df -h [22:36] shaullx, "df -h" [22:36] There is not enough room on the disk to save /tmp/2_EdlSz7.zip.part. [22:36] iceroot: it's ok to clear the whole file. Did you say it didn't help? [22:36] ok sec [22:36] hey guys in amarok one of my albums ive downloaded is coming under various artists so i tried to change it to the name of the album but the title bit is greyed out so i changed the rest of the bits but it still says various artists [22:36] losha: its working now [22:36] where to past it its big [22:37] msg me [22:37] Mike_lifeguard, if you run 'sudo tesksel' you might get a list of servers to install, but this is a throwback to debian... [22:37] Mike_lifeguard, er, tasksel [22:37] durt: k, I'll give that a whirl [22:37] grf [22:37] still moving any [22:37] hellp [22:38] hey guys in amarok one of my albums ive downloaded is coming under various artists so i tried to change it to the name of the album but the title bit is greyed out so i changed the rest of the bits but it still says various artists [22:38] theres probably something indicating its a compilation [22:38] durt: Personally, I wouldn't run any screensaver setuid. Whoever designed it to need to setuid got it wrong. Which makes me even less inclined to run it... [22:38] hahaha [22:38] setuid screensaver :) [22:38] tpw_rules: ? [22:38] it is an album of various artists its now dance anthems 2009 but i want it to say now dance anthems 2009 [22:39] dyeohnyesus: no kidding... [22:39] hi, why will Empathy replace pidgin on the next release, in 26 days? I just installed it, and it is half as stable and mature as pidgin is, except Empathy supposedly support video messaging? [22:39] not various artists [22:39] i've installed kdevelop on my system and i can't get it to build executables. I start with the 'simple c++ hello world' example, hit compile and after a lot of crunching it says 'Configure: error: c++ compiler cannot create executables'. do i have to install anything else? [22:39] losha, understood, I have no security issues to pay attention to. [22:39] tpw_rules: why not just use gcc? [22:39] does anybody know how to share an internet connection with hardy? [22:40] Yanick_: come to #ubuntu+1 for that, you should get a better answer there [22:40] Okay this is prob a newb question but, How do you know where synaptic installs programs at? [22:40] yofel, ok [22:40] durt: sorry, I can't help you... [22:40] joeyjones: i just like ides [22:40] eisenhower: probably /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin for the binaries [22:40] it installs them in filesystem/etc [22:41] !pl [22:41] Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [22:41] eisenhower: looking for something in particular? [22:41] tpw_rules: learn cmake. and qmake. and c++. then kdevelop is liek sweeeet boobies. [22:41] i have a usb wifi adapter and i want to share that internet connection through my onboard ethernet port. can i? [22:41] eisenhower: what do you mean 'where' (linux is different from windows there) [22:41] lol [22:41] eisenhower: go to computer filesystem etc === DaZ__ is now known as DaZ [22:41] my upgrade is still frozen. [22:41] in that folder ull find installed apps [22:41] so for example, using synaptic package manager, I installed xchat [22:41] i looked in /etc [22:42] eisenhower: go to places computer then etc ur apps are in there [22:42] thats where ur apps go [22:42] system404: STOP [22:42] no, === mako-dono is now known as mako-sama [22:42] system404: iirc /etc is jsut where config files are [22:42] thats where all my apps are [22:42] no binaries [22:42] eisenhower: just run xchat from the menu, and if you need the executable then it's in /usr/bin [22:42] yofel: i;ve been trying to say that... [22:42] Apps aren't in any one place. /etc is for config files. [22:43] eisenhower: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FindingFiles [22:43] Yanick_: thanks for the heads up.. i'm downloading empathy as we speak.. i'd love to see webcam and custom emoticon support... might even replace aMSN with it :P [22:43] joeyjones: just making sure ;) [22:43] yofel: i was being ignored though... [22:44] one other question. how do you set a defualt browser in ubuntu? [22:44] joeyjones, that will happen. [22:44] FiReSTaRT, be aware that you'll have to kill "telepathy-butterfly" if you get "Network error" message or something [22:44] i moved to firefox 3.5 from 3.0 and its not linking from othe rapps [22:44] Yanick_: thanks for the warning.. is that in an unstable release of koala or in jaunty? [22:44] eisenhower: dpkg -L (synaptic) is one way. [22:44] FiremanEd, and if you have multiple accounts, connecting simultaneously might not work :) [22:44] eisenhower: check 'preferred applications' in system settings [22:45] sorry, last one was for FiReSTaRT [22:45] eisenhower, make a symbolic link from 3.0 to 3.5 [22:45] chai: you can probably setup network forwarding with iptables or some gui app [22:45] FiReSTaRT, well, I read that Empathy will officially replace Pidgin in 9.10 [22:45] Yanick_: i don't do polygamy.. but are you running it on jaunty or koala? [22:45] I like Empathy. [22:45] Yanick_: i installed it under jaunty (just now) [22:45] I run it on Jaunty right now [22:46] Yanick_: and it's still buggin' on you? yikes... i'll need o check it out [22:46] I installed Karmic. It's running mostly smoothly. Needs polish, but hey. We have a month. [22:46] FiReSTaRT, it's not Ubuntu related problem, the issues are from the Telepathy framework, I guess [22:47] is there way to change a global? from firefox-3.5 to firefox [22:47] hello [22:47] !karmic | cybersplice [22:47] cybersplice: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [22:47] Yanick_ FiReSTaRT: the karmic version has a lot of bugfixes compared to the jaunty one [22:47] I need a VRT or Speech to Text widget, had a bad accident yesterday, any suggestions? [22:47] yofel: good to know.. thanks :) [22:47] grturner: Thanks, i'm aware of that. [22:47] Hi ppl! I have a bug: I can't give eth0 a static IP-Address because of network-manager is crashing! What is a possible work-around? [22:47] hrmm [22:47] that channel is reserved for the discussion of karmic as well. just fyi [22:48] Yanick_: i figured.. every client has certain bugs.. but it's time to just give empathy a quick test.. wish me luck :P [22:48] MyTh, google /etc/networking/interfaces [22:48] good luck FiReSTaRT [22:48] :) I don't like it ;) [22:48] yofel, I sure hope that Empathy will have serious fixes in the next months, or I won't vote for it [22:48] Myth: wicd replaces NM === tumii is now known as tumii- === tumii- is now known as tumii [22:49] NetworkManager Applet 0.7.99 [22:49] well, I tried empathy once and don't like it, so the discussion is finished for me [22:49] hmm. it appears g++ was not installed, so i installed that and now i get a pile of errors saying that gcc has no input files, it's not authorized to run the X server, and it can't make a directory because it doesn't have the proper permissions. any ideas to make kdevelop work? [22:49] lol @ network-manager crashing [22:49] why joeyjones? [22:50] i know how to set an ip with ifconfig [22:50] just use the cli [22:50] good [22:50] how can I mount an image that was created using partimage? [22:50] yofel, Joys of open source. Just pop pidgin in yourself. It'll probably stay in repos, i'd guess. [22:50] but after it the network doesn't work anymore... [22:50] Choice is everything... [22:50] roo many wintards are coming over to ubuntu and don't even know there's a cli [22:50] :D [22:50] *too [22:50] cybersplice: it'll stay (I use psi :P) [22:50] I'm not really new ;) [22:50] yofel, Heh! I use Xchat.... ! [22:51] haha [22:51] I am on windows man! [22:51] cybersplice: I use psi for jabber and quassel for IRC ;) [22:51] Though, on my iPhone i use irssi via one of my pentest rigs. [22:51] just because ubuntu can't see my stupid wireless card [22:51] joeyjones: should I disable network manager from automatic startup? [22:51] empathy sucks balls, the interface is nice, i could get used to it but it's support of the gadu gadu is lacking so right now pidin is still the better choice [22:51] neither madwifi... [22:51] MyTh: i'd suggest that [22:52] fine, i gonna try it right now :) [22:52] MyTh: and if it fails you can;t complain :p [22:52] hi, how can i create a second login account? [22:52] !account [22:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about account [22:52] kromar, use useradd [22:52] anyone knows what is happening with ubuntu one? i can't seem to authorize my computer, i cant connect to the localhost address [22:52] in the terminal? [22:52] kromar, system, administration, users and groups. [22:53] kromar, yep [22:53] i've recently installed the sun-java6-jdk with aptitude. what should i set JAVA_HOME to? [22:53] kromar, System | Administration | Users and Groups > Add user [22:53] anybody know? [22:53] its currently unset and other programs are breaking. the docs say i'm supposed to set JAVA_HOME to the installation path of the java jdk [22:55] kromar, mrwes is right...that way is easyer [22:55] esier [22:55] damn [22:55] easier [22:55] dyeohnyesus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:57] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:57] dyeohnyesus, you seemed like a GUI guy -- people like to give terminal advice :) [22:57] FiReSTaRT, the options are still very limited too [22:57] moOOoOOoooOOO [22:58] Hello. I tried to register new ISP adress on ekiga.net but I can`t see the picture with Captcha code. Could you help me? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [22:58] dyeohnyesus, most people here are new users, of sort. I always prefer to give the graphical usage over the terminal. However, for myself, I normally use the terminal [22:58] Hello. I tried to register new SIP adress on ekiga.net but I can`t see the picture with Captcha code. Could you help me? [22:59] I'mn running memtest86+ off the ubuntu installer, and it's saying I have 569MHz (DDR1138) CAS 1-5-7 DDR1 when really it is DDR that can do 1066MHz, and there is no apparent setting in memtest to modify this? [22:59] exit [23:00] Yanick_: i noticed.. on a good note, aMSN does everything i want it to, but i'd still like to have actual video-conferencing and better file transfer rates === nustash is now known as wittol [23:00] Yashy, I'm guessing your wrong you're memory supports going faster but the mobo doesnt [23:01] same problem with Pidgen. MSN actually can use DCC file transfers, but all ther others need to pass through the MSN central servers, which is why it's so slow === YungRipp is now known as Tommi [23:01] hi my audio stopped working what can i do to troubleshoot? [23:01] phantomcircuit: bought the MB because it is reported to support it [23:02] Yashy, does the BIOS support changing the FSB independently? [23:02] mom_, does it come back after a reboot? [23:02] phantomcircuit: yeah [23:02] My family already got two warnings sent to us from our ISP because of torrents, is there anyway to download torrents without the threat of the ISP shutting us off or worse? http://deluge-torrent.org/ says it has full encryption..is that what I need? [23:02] cybersplice, nope :( [23:03] mom_, i had that happen to me on Jaunty. Let me think about it for a while. Don't remember how I fixed it. [23:03] I just removed Empathy -1 for that one, and reinstalled Pidgin [23:03] ryguy: yeah, running torrent through SSH tunnel. you would need a VPS or another system to actually run a command line torrent client [23:04] cybersplice, yep its jaunty [23:04] draconis: I dont know what any of that means. Im not exactly network-smart [23:04] ryguy: basically, you can't trust anything that says its secure [23:04] Yanick_: i can even live with the file transfers, but having actual video-chats would be great [23:04] ryguy: bittorrent "encryption" is a joke === emily is now known as Guest93855 [23:05] Hi i am a new user and seam do be having audio problems when ever i run a program the sound gets all jumbled repeats itself and slows down my laptop. [23:05] draconis: so what do I have to do to not get caught by my ISP? [23:05] ryguy: you could, like, not do illegal torrenting [23:05] ryguy: what DigitalKiwi said [23:05] then again if your ISP is threatening to kick you off for any torrents... [23:05] freenode policy is probably actually against informing how to get around that too [23:05] yeah..thats totally the case.. [23:05] iirc it has a file sharing clausee [23:05] draconis, bittorrent encryption is designed to make it difficult to easily identify it not to actually encrypt it [23:06] hey guys any one know if we have a cli version of some old skool games (pong,space invaders, pacman) [23:06] FiReSTaRT, meh. I just found out that I could actually use my webcam (XPS Studio 16) with Ubuntu using Cheese lol so you see that I don't use that much :) [23:06] bittorrent encryption doesnt even try to protect against MiTM attacks [23:06] ryguy: or you could move to a country that respects the privacy of its citizens, like Canada, where you can't snoop on your customers. [23:06] ryguy, It's pretty difficult to stop your ISP from identifying torrent traffic. === Guest93855 is now known as petsounds [23:06] Yashy: totally would if I wernt broke === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter [23:06] or you could change ISPs [23:06] Yashy: I think most likely it is some watchdog reported his IP to his ISP [23:07] well it was Universal pictures that sent a complaint to the ISP or something [23:07] * DigitalKiwi wins [23:07] X_X I mean..Open Pictures..? [23:07] Does anyone know what changed in last nights karmic updates? My system was really fast, now I'm back to Jaunty speed. I guess it was related to Xorg and the legacy ATI drivers (I'm running a Rage 128 card). Any ideas? [23:07] Hello. I tried to register new SIP adress on ekiga.net but I can`t see the picture with Captcha code. Could you help me? [23:07] Yanick_: i don't use it much but it's a nice way to complement chatting with the Mrs. while she's away doing grad school [23:07] ryguy: You could always stop downloading copyrighted material? :D [23:07] yup [23:08] Is there any way to name a screen so I could reattach by means of a name instead of the pid? [23:08] Mediacom are nazis === mun_ is now known as mun [23:08] queso_: yes [23:08] Hi i am a new user and seam do be having audio problems when ever i run a program the sound gets all jumbled repeats itself and slows down my laptop. Can anyone tell me where i might be able to get drivers. [23:08] -S queso_ [23:08] is there a place I can buy movie downloads for cheap? [23:09] how can i configure lupin-casper to mount an iso as a loop? [23:09] netflix might [23:09] ryguy, lovefilm, netflicks. I actually like Virgin's on demand thinger.

[23:33] kinda [23:33] i installed it a month ago [23:33] AnthonyZbierajew: so it did boot at first? [23:34] neip: then check that you have 'automake' installed it should be 1.10 [23:34] after doing a dist-upgrade on jaunty, eth0 no longer works, not dhcp or static [23:34] !repeat | dro [23:34] dro: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[23:35] neip: 'apt-cache policy automake' [23:35] eyes [23:35] yes [23:35] it did boot before [23:35] and then it doesnt now [23:35] AnthonyZbierajew: what did you do with it just before it stopped booting? [23:35] neip: also, it sounds like you are compiling it from source. do you have all the build dependencies installed? [23:35] Hello, is there documentation on what user_xattr ("support user extended attributes") means for an ext4 filesystem? [23:35] left it [23:36] i have windows next to it [23:36] and thats what im on === chaky_ is now known as chaky [23:36] AnthonyZbierajew: did you do anything that could have messed up the root partition? [23:36] neip: do you have build-essential installed? [23:36] nope, nothing [23:37] AnthonyZbierajew: Did you install windows after ubuntu? perhaps the windows installer corrupted the partition table or something. [23:37] steffan dont know really, I'm just trying ubuntu for the first time [23:37] it was windows as the first and ubuntu was installed second [23:38] you can call me anthony [23:38] my name is long [23:38] AnthonyZbierajew, then change your nick ;) [23:38] AnthonyZbierajew: the error message is strange. Did you quote it here exactly as it appeared on screen?

[23:38] no [23:39] AnthonyZbierajew: irc clients can auto-complete nicknames with ;) (like for you: ant) [23:39] i typed what i could remember [23:39] dro: what's the ifconfig mess saying?

[23:40] it worked before, just fine [23:40] neip: build-essential is often required when compiling from source, if that is what you're doing then you'll need that [23:40] AnthonyZbierajew, yes I know [23:40] ubuntu did it [23:40] i used wubi [23:40] AnthonyZbierajew: do you have just one HD in the computer or more? [23:41] Mka: that kind of proves that he did install it properly [23:41] just the one [23:41] AnthonyZbierajew, just as I thought, Wubi!!! [23:41] AnthonyZbierajew: oh.. this is a wubi install [23:41] yes [23:41] not a real install.. [23:41] Mka: okay, you're right, wubi=improper ;) [23:41] no [23:41] wlodi: everything looks normal, no ip listed while in dhcp, but ip is there with static [23:41] shaullx, was that a question? [23:42] AnthonyZbierajew: wubi seems to be problemmatic on some systems.. if you want to try it without "really" installing it on it's own partition then I suggest getting the windows version of virtualbox [23:42] wlodi: everything works great from wlan0, but eth0 can't even ping gateway until i type "sudo ifconfig eth0 default gw 192.168.15.1" then can only ping things in the 192.168.15.0/24 subnet [23:42] AnthonyZbierajew, why dont you do a REAL install? [23:42] well if you got a solution then yes, B3rz3rk3r [23:42] k [23:42] shaullx, hehe. ok. Well there is always the LiveCD ;) [23:42] Hi All, I've just bought a Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000 webcam and have been trying to get it to work in 9.10, I've so far had a green screen, cheese vanish, and a black screen, I've struggled to get hold of EasyCam2 or 3 due to a Python dependancy which cannot be met, has anyone any tips on how to get this webcam working? Would I be best dropping back to 9.04, or 8.10? [23:43] does ubuntu in virtual box work on all systems [23:43] beb [23:43] netbook no cdrom, B3rz3rk3r [23:43] brb [23:43] I know this question isn't in any way related to ubuntu, but i am wondering how i tell my program in clips to read from console, what the tutorial/help file suggests doesn't work and google doesn't give me any other answer, odds are i am doing something wrong though... Anyone know the answer or know where i can start to look for someone who can help me get to the right answer? [23:43] shaullx, so use a USB based one [23:43] AnthonyZbierajew: any system that can run virtual box you can install most any OS into it. [23:43] QUESTION - I got a curve ball question here. Let's say someone hacks my Ubuntu machine and resets my system password. How would I be able to take control over of my machine again? Could I boot to failsafe terminal and log in as root (somehow) and reset my password? [23:43] RandomCake: I would stick with 9.10 for now, but please ask on #ubuntu+1 [23:44] shaullx, same thing as a cd based version but faster :) [23:44] dro: what's in the /etc/network/interfaces file? [23:44] only usb device but cant download the image because there is not space in the root partition, if only i could change the tmp folder or something [23:44] oh ok [23:44] i'll try [23:44] Roasted: u could boot into the live CD, recover data, and reinstall OS [23:44] Roasted: yes, there is a grub boot option for recovering from such a situation [23:44] Roasted: reboot and enter single-user mode by adding "single" to the kernel command line options from your bootloader. [23:44] B3rz3rk3r, cant download the image:( [23:44] wlodi: well when running dhcp just, auth eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp [23:44] too bad i dont have a pc here [23:44] lolrofllmao - that's "roflmfao" material, becuase I would not reinstall my entire OS based on taht situation. I just wouldnt. [23:44] it would be so simple [23:44] wlodi: remember, everything worked until i ran dist-upgrade [23:45] Roasted: nobody suggested that [23:45] shaullx, you mean you dont have access to internet? [23:45] soundray - yes, yes someone did. See above. [23:45] wlodi: i normally use gnome network manager, I even tried wicd, and even tried manually setting dhcp/static in /etc/network/interfaces === nikolam__ is now known as nikolam [23:45] Hi [23:45] then how am i talking to you right now lol [23:45] AnthonyZbierajew, but besides the Virtualbox stuff, what is holding you back from just partitioning the hard drive and install ubuntu properly? [23:45] dhendrix - is there a guide on what you suggest? Because I'm not so sure I know how to do that. [23:46] Roasted: it's actually laughing out loud; rolling on floor laughing; laughing my ass off. :) [23:46] i mean i dont have any space on my root partition [23:46] shaullx, exactly, thats why im confused [23:46] shaullx, oh [23:46] and no pc to download the ubuntu image [23:46] lolrofllmao - I had it half right. I at least get half a gold star on that one. Right? [23:46] shaullx, then just save it somewhere else :p [23:46] and windows wont even boot now [23:46] steffan is there something that I need to change in this command (./configure --disable-rpath --enable-maintainer-mode --prefix /usr) when I paste it.. it says please read INSTALL.txt [23:46] Roasted: Hmmm, try http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grub-boot-into-single-user-mode/ [23:46] Roasted: what dhendrix suggests amounts to the same as using the Recovery boot option from grub [23:47] so noone have any idea where to start looking for my questions? [23:47] it wont let me save because "tmp" folder has no space or something like that [23:47] Was wondering if anyone had ever encountered the problem with their bios lying to them about how much RAM they just installed? [23:47] I believe I have a routing issue, can't ping anything in the network or outside network until i type "sudo ifconfig eth0 default gw 192.168.15.1" and then can only ping things in the network 192.168.15.0/24 but nothing other than that [23:47] soundray - is the recovery boot option osmething that shows up in the boot menu? [23:48] Roasted: oh, i guess single user mode does requite a password to log in. So if your root password was changed, then you're probably hosed. [23:48] Roasted: yes, by default, it's right under the default option. [23:48] s/requite/require [23:48] dhendrix: no, it doesn't [23:48] shaullx, so save to another external media device, or make room in your linux partition [23:48] oyzar: please ask your question. Make it short and sweet. [23:48] dro: have you tried clearing the routing cache? [23:48] soundray - cant I just somehow unlock the root account and log into that in failsafe terminal and reset the PW via terminal? [23:48] shaullx, or just format the disk :p [23:48] wlodi: how do I do that? [23:49] is there a ps2 channel lol?? [23:49] I know this question isn't in any way related to ubuntu, but i am wondering how i tell my program in clips to read from console, what the tutorial/help file suggests doesn't work and google doesn't give me any other answer, odds are i am doing something wrong though... Anyone know the answer or know where i can start to look for someone who can help me get to the right answer? [23:49] i have room in my hdd i dont have room in my linux partition and i cant make any because i have nothing that accupies space i just did a clean install [23:49] oyzar: please rephrase, it's not clear what you are trying to achieve [23:49] only i chose to mix it with windows [23:49] here the problem lays:( [23:50] is it possible to download ubuntu image with terminal? [23:50] I am trying to use Read in CLIPS [23:50] Roasted: if you're still logged in, then it's possible. But, really, the situation you describe -- a hacked root -- calls for a reinstallation [23:50] bye [23:50] shaullx, yeah you gotta be carfeul what you are doing when dualbooting [23:50] wlodi: "sudo ip route flush cache" ? [23:50] shaullx: sure.. use wget [23:50] dro: crap, I don't remember at the moment:) [23:50] hi everybody [23:50] shaullx: try : wget theURLehre.com [23:50] soundray - well damn. Even in windows you can force a reset. I'm kind of surprised you couldnt in linux. [23:51] and how do i choose destination? [23:51] dro: have you checked the /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf? [23:51] Roasted, if you ahve to reboot Linux, your doing it wrong :p [23:51] shaullx: man wget [23:51] shaullx: it is where ever the termial is, use CD to change directorys [23:51] b3rz3rk3r - whats your excuse if you're a dual booter then? Not much choice there. ;) [23:52] Roasted, haha... ok. you got me there [23:52] b3rz3rk3r - being a gamer, I'm kind of stuck in the often-rebooting category. [23:52] I "extended" the cd command by creating a bash function. But my new function doesn't recognize $CDPATH. is there a way to make the two work together? [23:52] I love linux, but I love games. So the Vista/Ubuntu combo is kind of a requirement. [23:52] wlodi: no, because static didn't work either [23:52] Roasted, i hear ya man. Im currently dualbooting too just for my games [23:52] hi [23:52] shaullx: wget http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/releases.ubuntu.com/jaunty/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso [23:52] AzizLight: better ask that in #bash [23:53] Roasted: if you're moving on to chitchat, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [23:53] soundray - uh, no [23:53] Cannot write to `ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso' (No space left on device). [23:53] I'm actually still very interested in finding out if theres any way to work around the scenario I described above. [23:53] no luck here too [23:53] :( [23:53] hello [23:53] anyone know how to make the buttons of the title bar be on the left instead of the right ? using gconf editor didn't work, any suggestion ? [23:53] dro: do you normally use the network manager? [23:54] then only 1 option left..go to someone download and past it on my usb device and format the hdd [23:54] all linux geeks?/ and nerds? [23:54] blouf: if you are using compiz try the emerald theme , it lets you tweak the buttons really easy. I am not shure how to do it in gnome metacity though [23:54] blouf: you could change Metacity themes .... [23:54] spook2012: whats wrong? [23:54] blouf, there are lots of themes out on "t3h 1nt3rn3tz" that will do just that [23:55] wlodi: yes, but right now it's uninstalled and i'm using wicd [23:55] Nothing Kj4 [23:55] Roasted: there probably is, but your query is very vague [23:55] hey, I unmounted a USB drive and now I can't get it to show up [23:55] <{Onyx}> This isn't good. I installed an updated version of ALSA and it wasn't working so I uninstalled it. Now to reinstall it wants to remove all kinds of stuff like gnome-desktop. [23:55] i've recently installed the sun-java6-jdk with aptitude. what should i set JAVA_HOME to? [23:55] its currently unset and other programs are breaking. the docs say i'm supposed to set JAVA_HOME to the installation path of the java jdk [23:55] hi [23:55] my system is wrong [23:55] soundray - how is it vague? You have 1 system. 1 user on this system. and 1 unknown password. How do you solve the riddle? [23:55] Roasted: buy a console? [23:55] any idea where this installation path is? [23:55] spook2012: whats wrong with it? [23:55] that wasn't my question. [23:56] can i install some kind of a partition manager with apt-get? [23:56] eut: whereis java in terminal [23:56] shaullx, apt-get gparted [23:56] that seems to be the only thing that does able to download for me [23:56] !gparted > shaullx [23:56] shaullx, please see my private message [23:56] shaullx: qtparted is a good one I think [23:56] problems whit Vista [23:56] oyzar: oh, is that CLIPS thing just some variant of C? [23:56] Roasted: in your original question you talked about a "system password". Didn't you mean "root"? [23:56] spook2012: i had problems with vista, but they are cured [23:57] soundray - oh no, I meant my account password on the machine. [23:57] problem whit grub [23:57] thanks guys i will try [23:57] Roasted: Oh, so you still have your root password in tact? [23:57] Roasted: okay, so the machine is up, you're logged in, but you don't know the current password? [23:57] Roasted: boot to recovery mode and run "passwd $USERNAME" [23:57] no ideas? [23:58] but i think i solved now [23:58] dhendrix - ah hah! But we're in Ubuntu land. The root account isnt even activated in the first place. ;) [23:58] spook2012: grub2 with karmic or the 'old grub'? [23:58] soundray - I'm talking from the instance you boot up and your password doenst work, and from there you assume you've been hacked and you just need to reset it to get running again. [23:58] Roasted: it's active, it just has a null password. [23:58] Hello, Can someone help me compile gyachi I reached this step in install.txt (./configure --disable-rpath --enable-maintainer-mode --prefix /usr) when I paste it.. it says please read INSTALL.txt... is there anything I should change? [23:58] i erased all the parts windos [23:58] how to execute a command at a specific time? [23:59] neip: read INSTALL again [23:59] Roasted: If you've been hacked, typically the solution is to blow everything away and start over since you can't trust the content of your system any longer. But that's another matter :-) [23:59] 1 partition for winhose [23:59] !cron > Mka [23:59] Mka, please see my private message [23:59] Mka: use cron.. man cron in a terminal [23:59] Roasted: so you choose Recovery from the grub menu and run 'passwd roasted' from the root shell. [23:59] and the rest for ubunto [23:59] mneptok - but the big question is, if I cant log in to my account in the first ptlace, how do you enable the root account to even begin resetting passwords? [23:59] mneptok: not cron, I know that [23:59] Mka: 'at' [23:59] goatse, please change your name [23:59] spook2012: that can be good and bad. bad if you lost data. good if M$ has been eliminated from your system. [23:59] Roasted: i already told you how to reset the user password. [23:59] even better [23:59] mneptok - uh, you did?
