[00:18] the laptop res goes as high as 1960x1200 [00:18] lobonegro_rlopez: yes please. You still have about 130G used up, which seems large. I'd still like to know where all that space is being used.

See that /media directory? It's huge (95G). Most of your space is going to that directory and it's contents. ./media/TOSHIBA EXT is responsible for most of that usage. Next is /home, using about 38G. Is it starting to make sense?

[00:29] The latest version [00:29] My issue is i did Wubi, and liked it so i partitioned off some space on my HD to install it, i install it on the partition, i select Ubuntu to boot up with and it says that windows root file is missing or corrupted in a system32 file [00:29] thiebaude: huh? [00:29] thiebaude: oh sorry nevermind [00:29] Kruppe: Wubi hmm [00:30] how, TOSHIBA EXT is my external hard drive, how can that be taking up space? [00:30] Yeah it seems to have screwed my system [00:30] Kruppe: So you tried to do a proper partitioned install using the LIve CD? [00:30] Yes [00:30] Kruppe: and now Windows won't boot upt at all? [00:30] well 185 is out to download so I thought it wold fix my issue's [00:30] No no windows boots fine, i just can't boot into Ubuntu [00:30] !grub [00:30] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[00:31] and "W Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored , or old ones used instead" [00:31] The images you burn onto the live CD [00:31] ricky21tom: I supposed. "XP" is an emoticon [00:31] Question: how do I force a microDS card to mount as readwrite? "mount -o" didn't work [00:31] kristian_: hmm. Try du -B 1 . [00:32] Kruppe: you mean the ISO's for Ubuntu? [00:32] I have this new SD, but it keeps coming up as readonly, so I can't put anything into it [00:32] Yes, the image file [00:32] Thats the only Ubuntu related data on my HD right now is the ISO's [00:32] Can't format it on Linux or Windows, it keeps being read-only, for uknown reason [00:32] Anyone seen this before? [00:32] Kruppe: Well and there should be Ubuntu partitions as well? [00:32] Kruppe: 9.10? I saw alpha 6 reported that as a known issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/430141 [00:32] Kruppe: WIth an install of Ubuntu? [00:32] guedesav, did you check its permissions? [00:32] how do i change my default mouse theme? [00:33] jiohdi: yes, I changed the permissions, but to no avail [00:33] jihodi: also: Windows should manage it, but didn't work also [00:33] Kruppe: If you have removed Wubi you have removed Ubuntu [00:33] guedesav: hey i have installed aircrack from synaptic manager [00:33] guedesav, did you trying openining a file manager via root to see if you can do anything that way? [00:33] Yes but the partition won't show up for some reason after it is all installed, i removed Wubi before installing on LiveCD [00:33] guedesav: hey now how to use it [00:33] Kruppe: Then you should be able to install with proper partitions on the Live CD, with Grub being ok [00:33] no one any idea. how i could may fix this [00:34] lobonegro_rlopez: you need to use my nick when you reply, so I get notified there's a msg. When we ran fdisk -l, it didn't show any external disk mounted. If I had to guess, I'd say you've been writing stuff to a directory named /media/TOSHIBA EXT when there was no disk there, so the files are actually sitting on your main drive, if you see what I mean... [00:34] I can install it, but after it is installed i cannot boot in side by side with Ubuntu [00:34] Kruppe: How did you try to install it? [00:34] LiveCD [00:34] jiohdi: yep [00:34] Kruppe: yes, but there are different Ubuntu set ups that can be done on the Live CD [00:35] guedesav, I am puzzled that you can read it at all [00:35] When installing Ubuntu from Alpha 6 in a dual-boot configuration with another operating system, such as Windows Vista, the grub2 configuration will not present an option to boot to the other OS. Investigation of this issue is ongoing. [00:35] Kruppe: did you use the guided install, or did you set up partitions yourself? [00:35] ricky21tom: I once found a tutorial, but can't find it anymore. Try google [00:35] sorry for nube question: how do i change my default mouse theme? [00:35] jihodi: I'm equally puzzled [00:35] jihodi: and it's not only one, but two cards [00:35] I did the guided install === p1ckLe1 is now known as p1ckLe [00:35] guedesav, did you check the little slider on the side of the card to make sure its not set to read only? [00:35] jihodi: las time I had this problem, I managed to bypass it with a USB adabpter [00:35] jihodi: yes, of course, it's unlocked [00:35] :) [00:35] jihodi: the problem is I have no USB adaptor [00:35] guedesav: hey please tech me i am just a basic learner [00:36] Kruppe: by default the Live CD will install Grub, and go over your MBR, but maybe it didn't do that this time [00:36] please [00:36] I get the option to boot into Ubuntu, but i get an error as soon as i choose it [00:36] losha: I think so.. [00:36] guedesav: then how does it read? [00:36] jiohdi: SD adapter [00:36] I've tried reinstalling three times now through LiveCD [00:36] Kruppe: error ;f [00:36] lobonegro_rlopez: is your external drive plugged in right now? [00:36] losha : thanks! :-) what does the 1 stand for? [00:36] Hi, I'm having a bit of problem with my Ubuntu laptop. It's connected to the internet via a wireless router, and every time it's disconnected somehow I have to manually restore its connection. Anyone know how to make it reconnect automatically? [00:36] losha: no [00:36] ricky21tom: can't now, sorry [00:36] jihodi: SD adapter [00:37] guedesav: hey i to check the wifi adaptor of which manufacturer it is [00:37] The error? It says theres a missing or corrupt file in my sys32 windows folder, HAL.dll file [00:37] I checked the file, it's fine [00:37] so how did you install 185 then [00:37] ricky21tom: try "lshw -c network" [00:37] Kruppe: maybe it's picking up some of the old Wubi MBR, and then not working properly. I guess you could let Windows fix it's MBR, and then re install Grub. or just re install Ubuntu with real partitions and hopefuly Grub works. I guess I can't be of that much help really, I tried though. [00:37] ricky21tom: it'll displalist your network adapters [00:38] od3n: just install the binary from the nvidia ;f [00:38] Kruppe: I don't know that much about Wubi, but what I do know is that problems can happen, because of it [00:38] hi all [00:38] how do I do that I am a linux noob [00:39] Well can i get rid of the Wubi issues without losing windows data [00:39] od3n: this makes things harder [00:39] If i can clean out my computer of the Wubi screw up i think i'd be fine [00:39] Kruppe: should be able to yep [00:39] lobonegro_rlopez: You know that when the external drive is plugged in, it appears in the directory /media/TOSHIBA EXT. When it's not plugged in, the directory is still there. You've (mistakenly) filled that directory with files. Looks like that's where most of your space has gone.... [00:39] What can i do to fix everything back [00:39] well sure but I think I can do it [00:39] Kruppe: I think you can probably let the Windows CD fix it's MBR, so only Windows boots up, and then either re install Grub, or the whole of Ubuntu [00:40] I need some info regarding Network simulator 2 can somebody help me [00:40] ? [00:40] How would i go about using the windows CD to fix that [00:40] It must be a back up program i use [00:40] anyone know how to change the default mouse theme? [00:40] Kruppe: Windows XP or Vista or? [00:40] I have the pkg1.run on my desktop [00:40] XP 32bit [00:40] od3n: you have to download the binary, turn of the xserver, chmod +x binary and ./binary [00:40] ;f [00:41] lobonegro_rlopez: could be, You need to look through that directory and see if there's stuff there that you want to keep, and move it somewhere else, ok? [00:41] nerdy_kid: in appearance, hit "customize" and then the mouse tab [00:41] od3n: and ofc remove driver from the repo ;f [00:41] is ita right place to get help for NS2? [00:41] Kruppe: Ok put the CD in boot it up, and there should be some kind of option on there. so it can fix some errors. Oh and ##windows can help with the Windows side. [00:41] Kruppe, do you have your data backed up?

[02:02] i have problem with install Yaho Mesengger in Ubuntu 9.04.. everyone can help me??? [02:03] cupucrew if you do that, tell me how please [02:03] how do what? [02:03] cupucrew install yahoo [02:04] cup, just use pidgen [02:05] pidgin [02:05] or sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.6 [02:05] so no one here has messed with SOGo? [02:05] 1: [02:05] then install the yahoo deb file [02:06] TechN9ne whats the libssl10.9.6 for> [02:06] ? [02:06] u don't need pidgin, empathy is already installed [02:06] oops [02:06] wasn't pidgin installed by default, too ? [02:07] just realized cupucrew said 9.04 [02:07] [02:07] pidgin does not support webcam [02:07] yes it does [02:07] kermit how? [02:07] but empathy does i think support webcam [02:07] pidgin will work [02:07] Serla: it works over jabber (what google uses) [02:08] they both now support both audio and video [02:08] pidgen simple but great to use [02:08] kermit can u log with yahoo/msn accoutns in empathy [02:09] kermit sorry that to stlsaint [02:09] kermit i dont think cam works for yahoo or msn in pidgin [02:09] kermit unless there is something else you've done for that, i dont use jabber though [02:10] Serla, i dont use empathy...i use pidgin but for webcam empathy is suppose to work...i use yahoo with pidgin [02:10] Serla: yeah ,it only works with google [02:11] stlsaint yahoo works in empathy? [02:11] kermit that sucks [02:13] Hi where would i get mad.h? [02:13] does anyone know anything about using ubuntu with dial-up internet? [02:14] !dialup [02:14] You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [02:14] OK! so im trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 on a Micron PC and for some reason after booting from the CD and telling it to install, everything goes ok but then when i restart the pc, the boot screen comes up ect ect but the login screen never shows up. it just stays blank, anyone know why this might be? [02:15] Serla, couldnt tell ya...i dont use it in empathy...i will try in my karmic vm right quick tho and let you know [02:16] Serla: I have an account set up in empathy for yahoo, but I have no yahoo contacts so, can't say to what extent it works [02:16] so im trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 on a Micron PC and for some reason after booting from the CD and telling it to install, everything goes ok but then when i restart the pc, the boot screen comes up ect ect but the login screen never shows up. it just stays blank, anyone know why this might be? [02:16] Serla, yes it does work [02:17] seidos, yes it works...just tried it...all contacts came up fine [02:17] mlregister: if you are new to linux, often times the easiest thing to do is to reinstall Ubuntu with a default guided install. Another recommendation would be to not have any of your other HDD connected to SATA or IDE channels during the install so you dont have to worry about wiping them accidentally. [02:17] mlregister: try booting nosplash. [02:17] * Serla dances with stlsaint and seidos [02:17] Hey, I have a question. I finaly got mayself to port to ubuntu with my workstation to, when I try to install/use the live feature I get the error: "powernow-k8: Your BIOS does not provide ACPI _PSS..." Is there a way to work around this or am I stuck with the crappy windows? [02:17] mlregister: That might get you an idea of where it's hanging. [02:18] lol [02:18] godstar: well its not that im new, this is like the eighteenth time ive put linux on pcs, but! idk i used the guided install, for some reason it just doesnt bring up the login screen [02:18] canthus13: how do i boot with nosplash? [02:19] mlregister: Boot, when it tells you to press escape, do so. [02:19] mlregister: Then, press 'e' to edit the boot options of the kernel. [02:19] ok [02:19] mlregister: add nosplash at the end of the line. [02:19] EmilemiL: boot with acpi=off [02:19] what is the acpi? [02:19] how do i partition a blank partition to NTFS in ubuntu (gparted has it grayed out)? [02:19] canthus13: k ill try that [02:20] !acpi | jiohdi [02:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi [02:20] jiohdi: ACPI is power contorl. [02:20] !nice [02:20] 'Nice' is a property of a process that determines how willing it is to give CPU time to other processes. A higher value makes it more likely to give away time. A negative value makes it less likely. Values are from -19 to 19, with 0 being the default. For more information, type 'man nice' at a terminal. [02:20] part2ntfs, is the partition mounted? [02:20] err... control. [02:20] im having a little trouble compiling v4l-dvb on karmic. says it cannot find dma.h and no kernel sources installed but i believe my build environment is setup correctly. can someone help me by testing on their machine [02:20] hajmola, no, its not even partitioned [02:20] My sound worked yesterday, but not today after updating FF 3.6 daily. I'm not sure if the update was the problem or not, but that is the only thing I have changed. How do I troubleshoot this? [02:20] jiohdi: it manages things like shutting down your screen, powering down drives, and other power-saving measures. [02:21] abarbaccia: you should ask in #ubuntu+1 for karmic questions [02:21] part2ntfs: thanks! [02:21] canthus, is that why when I power off it just says system halted and stays that way? [02:21] IdleOne: Ok, I'll try that. Thanks. One more thing, will my 9800gtx+ work propperly with ubuntu? I looked but didnt find an answer to that. [02:21] jiohdi: Did you disable acpi? [02:21] canthus, I think the system did it automatically [02:21] EmilemiL: I don't know [02:21] jiohdi: That would be why. Check your bios settings and make sure it hasn't somehow been disabled. [02:22] part2ntfs, oh, the "ntfs" option is greyed out? [02:22] IdleOne: Okey, thanks [02:22] hajmola: yes [02:22] canthus13: I have an old machine, perhaps it does not have that? [02:22] jiohdi: Could be. [02:22] anyone know what would cause a resolution not to show up for the nvidia x server [02:22] Anyone else that run any ubuntu dist with nvidia 9800gtx+? [02:22] canthus, I know years ago, I had problems with knoppix on it... had to put some special code like that into the boot [02:23] !hardware | EmilemiL check to see if it is listed [02:23] EmilemiL check to see if it is listed: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [02:23] part2ntfs, you have to install package "ntfsprogs" [02:23] od3n: i know its possible to manually input the resolution (dangerous) by sudo editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf (backup before) [02:23] !hardware [02:23] hajomla: thanks [02:23] jiohdi: acpi is buggy on some systems. It's a perennial headache in linux. [02:23] EmilemiL: go to the site ubottu gave you [02:24] I noticed, Thanks [02:24] i have a blackberry, laptop and a desktop. i want to sync my todo list and calendar. any recommendations, even if i need to install a backend? [02:24] 1360x768 is as far as it will show and I know the lcd I have has a max of 1680x1050 [02:24] canthus13: mine is a compaq, I think must be close to 5-6 years old [02:24] jiohdi: It should support acpi. [02:24] does jaunty support ntfs without installing this program? [02:25] EmilemiL, is it not working with nvidia-settings? [02:25] canthus13: it may be older, dont remember for sure [02:25] jiohdi: acpi came out around 1996, and was pretty much everywhere by about 2001. [02:25] part2ntfs, I don't think so.... [02:26] jiohdi: evo or compaq armada? armada doesn't support acpi, evo does [02:26] canthus13: I am relatively sure its not that old :) [02:26] jiohdi: It could simply be that the acpi drivers aren't being loaded. [02:26] part2ntfs, when you install ntfsprogs, gparted will un-grey it in the pulldown [02:26] part2ntfs: presario 1113mx [02:26] Where can i find vinylstickers like, Facebook,Twitter,LinkedIN, And stuff to put on the back of my laptop screen? [02:26] hajmola: I have no idea, did not test it with ubuntu yet but the hardware compability site says that it will work with "3D requires nvidia-glx" [02:27] canthus13: most things seem to be working well at the moment, its just the shut down, which seems to have a problem [02:27] well how do I add that res to the xorg.conf file [02:27] EmilemiL, yeah, it's a restricted driver from Nvidia... it *should* work, but i dont' have the same chipset [02:27] jiohdi: Does your screen turn off when it sits idle? [02:27] canthus13: it just sits there black with a few cryptic lines and system halted [02:28] jiohdi: Hmm... do this from the terminal: dmesg | grep acpi and pastebin it. [02:28] hajmola: I'll just give it a try, if it works I'm happy ;) [02:28] quit [02:28] exit [02:28] EmilemiL, good luck [02:28] nvm XD [02:28] thanks [02:29] canthus13: [ 0.348204] * this bug, please use "acpi_pm_good" to disable the workaround [02:30] jiohdi: Hmm.. Looks like you've got an acpi bug that hasn't been worked out. [02:30] od3n: edit manually through a program such as nano (don't know exactly how); see the other resolutions and add a line with the resolution you think your card supports [02:30] canthus13: hasnt been worked out by linux programmers? [02:31] jiohdi: Exactly. [02:31] jiohdi: You might try adding the acpi_pm_good to the boot options. [02:31] <__lupo__> does anybody knows a software for linux to build house? like Google SketchU === trina_ is now known as Kittykis [02:32] jiohdi: Of course, if you do that, you might find other odd stability issues. [02:32] canthus13: yeah, I think I will leave good enough alone :) [02:32] jiohdi: But it's worth a try. I'm assuming this is on a laptop, right? [02:32] Is there a way to repair damaged files using dpkg/apt [02:32] At least missing files [02:32] canthus13: no desktop [02:32] MaximLevitsky: files that are missing from packages, that is? [02:32] jiohdi: Huh. Most acpi issues I've seen have been on laptops. [02:33] canthus13: I have an acer laptop has no issues [02:33] nevermind i found it [02:33] MaximLevitsky: you can just reinstall the involved package with "sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename" [02:33] LjL: fsck mess.... [02:33] jiohdi: Cool. Well, I suppose if it's not bother to push the power button after it halts, then it's not a big deal, eh? [02:33] LjL: there are many files that are broken now [02:33] canthus13: compaq tended to use a lot of proprietary junk [02:33] jiohdi: No kidding. [02:34] jiohdi: HP is the same. [02:34] MaximLevitsky: you can try sudo aptitude upgrade or sudo apt-get install -f [02:34] MaximLevitsky: you can use "debsums" to find out which ones are broken and what packages they belong to [02:34] jiohdi: It took a couple of months to shoehorn ubuntu into this HP laptop and make everything work properly. [02:34] canthus13: I have an even older compaq that I am running macpup on... ubuntu could not find sound drivers for it, but puppy did [02:35] LjL: this is interesting... [02:35] MaximLevitsky: but keep in mind you might have corrupted configuration files too, and that can'teasily be helped [02:35] jiohdi: do you know how to compress ntfs drives in ubuntu after partitioning them? [02:35] jiohdi: puppy does a pretty good job of basic hardware detection. [02:35] LjL: sure, but my /home is on seperate partition.... thank godness... [02:35] so when ubuntu boots off a live boot it loads vesa? [02:36] MaximLevitsky: configuration files are also in /etc [02:36] eido: Yep. [02:36] part2ntfs: I have only seen it take up some ntfs and repartition it, dont know about compression [02:36] LjL: sure, but this can be handled [02:36] LjL: I once got all /etc in lost+found. That was JFS.... [02:36] MaximLevitsky: ugh. [02:37] My sound worked yesterday, but not today after updating FF 3.6 daily. I'm not sure if the update was the problem or not, but that is the only thing I have changed. How do I troubleshoot this? [02:37] canthus13: do you know how I can tell if my harddrive is scsi? [02:37] anyone know how to compress ntfs drives in ubuntu after partitioning them? [02:37] canthus13: is this a basic vesa xorg? http://pastebin.com/m41e13d7d [02:38] ggg [02:38] canthus13 u still here? [02:38] how do I update firefox to 3.5? [02:39] se5a-nix, sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 [02:39] hi [02:39] se5a-nix: it will make it side by side to the original, it will not update it === YungRipp is now known as Tommi [02:39] there's no way to physically update it, it's a separate package [02:40] anyone have an acer aspire one D250 [02:40] I installed it via synaptic [02:40] does ubunto update every 2 days? [02:40] but it's not showing in the aplications [02:40] deacon_: no [02:40] can anyone tell me if this is a basic vesa xorg http://pastebin.com/m41e13d7d what my xorg should contain to force vesa [02:40] anyone know how to compress ntfs drives in ubuntu after partitioning them? [02:40] hello, is anyone familiar with VirtualBox [02:40] deacon_: daily [02:40] Sledger: yes [02:41] mine updates every 2 days like clockwork [02:41] part2ntfs: you don't [02:41] phix.. do you know how i can add files to the harddrives? [02:41] i am familiar with virtualbax [02:41] they are .vdi files [02:41] daily? will it ever get bigger thqn the windows aps? [02:41] se5a-nix, it's called Shiretoko [02:41] Sledger: yes [02:41] deacon_: files get replaced, so size is not a problem [02:41] oh thanks [02:41] Sledger: the .vdi files stay in your /home/username/.VirtualBox folder [02:42] i love ubuntu but stillnew to it [02:42] part2ntfs: why would you want to compress them? [02:42] Sledger: It is easier if you have an OS on it though [02:42] i want to run windows with a copy of MS office 2007, and i have the ISO made.. but where do i put it, or how do i get to it? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:42] Sledger: in that folder you will find the hardisk and machines folder [02:42] jiohdi: space [02:42] Sledger: then you can use VituralBox shared folders [02:42] phix i tried that.. [02:42] Sledger: mount it [02:42] i shared the folders, but how do i get to them? [02:42] mount it? [02:42] mounting............look to guest addon additions [02:42] part2ntfs: why are you keeping them? [02:42] Sledger: in virtualbox [02:42] guest addon additions? [02:42] Sledger: have you installed the guess addons? [02:42] no [02:42] phix , no [02:42] Sledger: point, click, click, done [02:43] jiohdi: we were talking about why I want to compress my NTFS? for space? [02:43] sledgenowski [02:43] Sledger: add the .vdi (the virtual machine) into the hardisk folder [02:43] you ppl are great!! and cool [02:43] Sledger: Run the virtual machine [02:43] part2ntfs: why do you wish to keep anything ntfs? [02:43] yes. for accessing other fsystems [02:43] Sledger: then open virtual box and preferences and add a virtual harddisk [02:43] ability to use my usb on others computers [02:43] Sledger: then click on device, then install guest addons [02:44] stlsaint too bad, doesn't look like empathy supports webcams [02:44] part2ntfs: if you compress, you take a big chance in making those files completely useless [02:44] Sledger: but you don't need to do that to access a .ISO file, just do what nossralsuva said [02:44] jiohdi: ntfs-3g dev team hasn't gotten around that problem yet? its only been 4 years [02:44] Sledger: I recommend installing the guest addons any way [02:44] part2ntfs: why not simply compress them while booted into some windows os? [02:44] jiohdi: i want to do it the ubuntu way [02:45] part2ntfs: Not their fault, NT is a properitary file system [02:45] PHIX what did nas say? [02:45] part2ntfs: NTFS even [02:45] hi i join clan ant just now so now what? [02:45] Sledger: 12:43 < nossralsuva> Sledger: then open virtual box and preferences and add a virtual harddisk [02:45] Sledger: once you add the virtual machine using the preferences option from the virtualbox pane, then you will be able to use that virtual hard disk [02:45] phix: NTFS-3G is not open source? [02:45] part2ntfs: ummmm I thought it was, then again Ubuntu is not as anal as Debian, so it could be [02:45] Sledger: and you will just need to make a new machine and then reference that 'existing' hard disk [02:46] ty [02:46] phix: there should be a way to compress NTFS in ubuntu then [02:46] a new machine [02:46] just for that harddrive? [02:47] part2ntfs: are you talking files or the file system? how do you compress a file system? [02:47] part2ntfs: yes, copy the entire file system onto another file system that supports compression under Linux, then mount the NTFS file somewhere [02:47] part2ntfs: done [02:47] jiohdi: file system, nothing is on the partition yet [02:48] I believe there is kernel support for compression in Ubuntu [02:48] phix: what file systems available on all computers support compression (ntfs is the only one) [02:48] Good evening everyone. I have... i hope... a quick question. I have been running Ubuntu 9.04 for a while, and on more than one occasion gotten some really weird hangups. When i restart... green screen, then no boot. ran recovery mode but due to my noobish nature... couldnt get anywhere. [02:48] there is an attribute you set or seomthing [02:48] part2ntfs: no it isn't, NTFS does not work on all computers for compression, only Windows [02:48] phix: MAC also [02:48] is there a quick fix for the no boot that i am running into? [02:49] part2ntfs: unless you purchase a commerical module [02:49] phix: as an alternative, does truecrypt compress when it encryptions the partition? [02:49] part2ntfs: MS requires that developers pay them to create stuff to maniplute their file format [02:49] part2ntfs: Not that I am aware of [02:50] part2ntfs: just don't worry about it :) [02:50] LjL: thanks you very very much [02:50] phix: darn, running out of options, ok, i'll forget it until space is a problem [02:50] part2ntfs: You can pick up a 1TB for about $115 AUD [02:50] part2ntfs: that is nothing [02:50] Is there a DVB/TV card support channel? Or will here be an appriopriate venue for my problem? [02:51] graelin: I have had little experience with it, ask away, I may beable to provide assistance [02:51] has anyone else experienced what i mentioned? [02:51] riley: how far into the boot are you getting? [02:52] grub loader [02:52] riley: and then? [02:52] riley, where does it stop... [02:52] then where i would get my ubuntu splash... i get a blinking curser [02:52] cursor [02:52] ok [02:52] nothing after the cursor [02:52] no error code? [02:52] none [02:52] does it give any boot options? [02:53] Welp... Hauppage WinTV HVR 1600 supposed to have support in new kernal now. In fact I can get picture, but it's horribly pixilated at times. There are 2 connectors on back.. TV and ATSC. In windows I only get a picture with Comcast connected to TV co-ax port. In Linux Only get it in ATSC coax port... [02:53] jiohdi: at the grub or when it hangs? [02:53] riley, grup typically has a list of options, do you get that far? [02:53] grub* [02:53] Jiohdi: i can do the esc, then select .15, .15 recovery, .11, .11recovery and a memtest [02:54] hi [02:54] jiohdi, are these the options you mean? [02:54] graelin: hmmm, that is a bit out of my leage :) [02:54] riley, mine says things like safe and recovery in different lines [02:54] i have a little webcam problem that i can't understand how to resolve, if i launch xcam it doesn't work and can't access to /dev/video0 operation not permitted but if i do a sudo wxcam it works and its all the same for skype and others any clue please ? [02:55] When I scan for channels in Linux, I can only use scan utilities with ATSC options... any other option results in device not being found. Supposedly this is completely supported now, so I'm wondering if I need to install/inject another driver for the "tv" port [02:55] jiohdi, yes. that is the screen [02:55] jacquesdupontd: permissions [02:55] jacquesdupontd: Add yourself to the video users group [02:55] jiohdi, if i try safe, i get the cursor hangup, if i choose recovery... im in over my head [02:55] jacquesdupontd: What permission does /dev/video0 have? who is the owner? [02:56] jacquesdupontd: yes you need to be in the video group, but just see who the file is owned by first [02:56] riley, did you try booting from a live cd to see if you can get to the desktop? [02:56] good afternoon persons [02:56] hello [02:57] phix, don't remember how to change those group thing in the terminal [02:57] jiohdi, i was confused when i tried that. if i were to boot from the live, will it bring me to "my" desktop or to the live desktop? [02:57] I can usually figure out anything in Linux, but TV standards and stuff like that(particularly in Linux) make my head spin [02:57] i m chinese [02:57] riley, it will bring you to the live, but you have access to the other [02:58] riley, if you can get that far atleast you can rule out massive disk corruption [02:58] jiohdi, hrmm. I havent tried that. I ended up going with a clean install.. but i want to be on the ready for next time [02:58] riley, I could not even boot the live cd because my disk got corrupted, I had to wipe and reformat the drive [02:58] anyone know why 64bit completely hates AMDs? more specifically turions with an ATI card? [02:59] I have a quick quiestion about "sudo" [02:59] Frag...works for me [02:59] Jiohdi, i will have to try that for sure next time [02:59] hrm, i get to the live install, and it just hangs there... [02:59] works great as a matter of fact [02:59] od3n, yes? [02:59] has done that with 3 different distros [02:59] if I use that to launch a app I will be doing it as "root" correct [02:59] yes [02:59] launching an app, you use gksudo [02:59] frag, I had the same problem until I reformatted my entire drive, dont know why, but it works now [02:59] unless it's CLI, then that's just sudo [02:59] Frag I'm using a gateway laptop with AMD and ati and It's all good [02:59] 64 bit working fine here... I'd look more at the ATI part of that statement... seem a bit harder to get playing nicely in Linux [03:00] im on a gateway laptop and i cant get it going === seidos is now known as SwampThing [03:00] jiohdi, if i get into the live disk, and it is not a corrupt drive, what would be the options? [03:00] windows vista, xp and 7 all work beautifully [03:00] frag I have a mx6440 that I'm using now with 64bit [03:00] riley, you will have access to the boot records like main.lst and you can find out if they are corrupted [03:01] Frag: Whats not working [03:01] im using a MD2614u with no luck :/ im grabbing a 32bit now and seeing if that helps [03:01] Frag: I've got the whole line of Microsoft Coasters, and you're right. They work beautifully! No cup rings on *ANY* of my furniture. [03:01] *laughs* [03:01] frag I was actually surprised how well 64 works these days [03:01] Thanks for the advice. next time it hangs up i will be sure to try that before a clean install :) [03:01] i have the latest version, slam the disk in, go to install and it is stuck there... [03:02] i cant even test the cd/memory before install...does the same hting [03:02] Frag: Try the alternate installer? [03:02] frag where does it "stick" [03:02] when it says "install ubuntu" i hit it, and it stays there [03:02] Frag, i had the same issue... it was the drive i was using to create my disc [03:02] o really? [03:02] i created it in a different pc... and retry... with success [03:02] Frag: Reburn the CD at the slowest speed. [03:02] yes [03:02] Frag: I had that several times when I burned at full speed. [03:03] Frag: better yet... put it on a USB drive and install that way [03:03] I just bought the new version of nero for linux...it's pretty neat [03:03] ill have to try that [03:03] they have a 64 bit version [03:03] i got a usb key here and a stack of cds, ill try both ways [03:03] it rips too [03:04] i am haveing some trouble getting my network card to link at 1gig any tips?

Prolly the drive. [03:05] frag or the memory [03:05] Frag: No disk activity? When I installed on a laptop, it took forever... granted it was an older laptop, but it took so long, it made WinBlows look like a cheetah [03:05] ran memtest 86 and its fine [03:05] Frag: Try burning slow first. [03:05] im buring a new disk now... [03:05] we'll see what happens *laughs* [03:05] Frag, slow, then different drive. [03:06] :) it feels nice to give help.. im usually only here to get help :) [03:06] like i finally had a penny to leave after taking 5 dollars worth [03:07] riley, do you know about usb stand alone apps? [03:07] anyone tried lighttpd? It's awesome [03:07] I replace apache after 12 years [03:07] jiohdi, meaning? [03:07] my server only has 512 ram and apache was eating up all the mem [03:07] riley, I recently discovered a lot of usb stand alone apps that run really well under wine [03:08] riley, like operaUSB... does not crash like the opera for linux [03:08] dfwlinuxguy: I'm still happy with Apache. [03:08] jiohdi, ill have to check it out. Ive had.... limited.. success with wine [03:08] hey guys i m having troubles with karmic it wont boot atm from the live cd [03:08] hi, i have a problem with the pen on my tablet pc; the pen won't work on fresh boot, but work after i relogin ... any workaround? [03:08] the screen flickers and keep flickering. [03:09] riley, because they are designed to work straight off a usb stick, they seem perfect for wine [03:09] Menza I was too until it ate all the mem and crashed my server [03:09] !karmic | nErVe [03:09] nErVe: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [03:09] riley, portableapps.com is a good site there others [03:09] dfwlinuxguy: Regardless, this is offtopic :) [03:09] jiohdi, do you need a dedicated stick per prog? or can you stack a bunch on a single stick? [03:09] riley, you can put them on the .wine c drive [03:09] Menza how is that off topic? [03:10] ugh [03:10] god this thing sucks [03:10] dfwlinuxguy: This is solely for support.

[03:10] good night everyone [03:10] jiohdi, ohhh i see. use your .wine c as the "stick" [03:11] riley, exactly [03:12] riley, I dont know about gnome, but in xfce you can create a launcher for the panel and for the command you just put in wine program.exe and it will work [03:12] riley, as long as you set the path properly of course [03:12] jiohdi, very interesting... could i make the .wine c reside on a thumb? may seem like sillyness.. but having a set of apps on a thumb that wine could... automount perhaps. that way if wife wanted pc i could keep the base progs on here, and my stuff on the thumb [03:13] jiohdi, gnome is about the same [03:13] panel > add to panel > custom launcher > browse to app [03:13] riley, you can keep all the programs on the thumb, and just activate them by wine program loader [03:14] riley, then you can use them on windows os and linux machines [03:14] jiohdi, very interested. portableapps.com you said? [03:14] riley, that is one of the sites I think, you can google and find about three others [03:15] hello can anyone check my kernel log please? my computer freezes for some seconds, but i can still move the mose pointer? any ideas? please help! thanks! [03:15] riley: that's not for Linux last time I looked, only Windows [03:15] does ubuntu still come with this as default: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/share-your-ubuntu-desktop-using-remote-desktop.html [03:15] riley: there are a couple of dozen programs, most work just fine [03:15] seb, understood [03:15] Phix i don't understand [03:15] sebsebseb: works with wine just fine [03:16] jiohdi: really you should try and run as many apps as possible for what you want to do on a computer natively :) and then Wine, and then a Windows virtual machine [03:16] hi all [03:16] sebsebseb: my linux version of opera crashes on a regular basis, but the operaUSB under wine is rock solid [03:16] esaym153 nomachine's nx server and client is the best remote desktop app ever [03:17] dfwlinuxguy: I don't care about best, I want easiest [03:17] seb, understood, but i jump from work (windows) to home (lnx). the thumb+wine would make a nice interface for the 2 machines [03:17] hadnt even considered usb sa apps [03:17] riley, as you said, feels good to help :) [03:17] How to mount harddrives within a VirtualBox OSE virtual machine? [03:18] riley: Wine does not run on Windows [03:18] esaym153 well if the easiest is something that works even over slow Internet connections, then nx is what I would use. [03:18] sebsebseb: right [03:18] sebsebseb: Yes it does. [03:18] sebsebseb: you dont need wine to run usb portable apps on windows machines [03:18] MenZa: Can it? I thought it was only for Linux and Mac, and maybe Unix [03:19] sebsebseb: Sure. [03:19] sebsebseb: but wine allows those portable apps to work really well in ubuntu === eddiebuntu is now known as wiseguy [03:19] you dont need wine in windows thats redundant :) === wiseguy is now known as cottoncandyfetis [03:19] jiohdi: this will also help with my carputer... [03:19] MenZa: if someone ports it, if it's not already been done, well yeah [03:20] jiohdi: Not if you want to check how a program you're developing in Windows would run on Wine. But this is straying offtopic. [03:20] menza, true [03:20] shame as far as I know there isn't anything that is actsaully cross platform (Linux distros, Windows, and Mac OS X) when it comes to portable usb apps.

[03:37] Sledger: easy [03:37] how can I CNAME to ip:port.. is it possible?? [03:38] hello all. I've been using ubuntu for about 3+ years now, and I now use ubuntu on all of my computers (no dual booting - straight linux). I've been recently wondering how I could go about synchronizing the "package state" of my machines (e.g. if I install an app on one system, also have it installed on the others). Any ideas? Would I have to manage my own repository? [03:38] cornwall: and at the end "W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [03:38] c0l2e: no [03:38] so is there any way i can do that?? [03:38] cornwall: my internet is good.. so it works with browser. and all that stuff [03:38] kismet, have you tried changing your download server in System>Software Sources? [03:38] c0l2e: DNS is a name to ip address resolver, it knows nothing about services or TCP/UDP ports [03:38] c0l2e: you can add a TXT or SVR record to a DNS entry [03:39] hmm how? [03:39] c0l2e: and add whatever information you want to [03:39] cornwall: yeah i tried to changed to different server but still every time same error and i tried evan apt-get -f clean [03:39] c0l2e: Are you hosting the DNS? [03:39] I can modify our DNS [03:40] c0l2e: ok, so add in a TXT record then, but the application that resolves it needs to be modified in order to make use of it [03:40] c0l2e: what are you trying to do? [03:40] i just want to access the site mail.example.com:5051 to webmail.example.com [03:40] ah, it looks like I need canonical/landscape [03:40] c0l2e: you can't do that [03:41] phix how would i get to it within windows 7? [03:41] c0l2e: SMTP uses port 25 as a standard [03:41] phix: so what is the other way to do it? redirection from webserver ? [03:41] anyone know how to force the window manager to reread the screen size? or change the task bars to the new screen size? [03:41] Sledger: It mounts it to the CDROM drive [03:41] Sledger: in the guest OS [03:41] kismet, have you tried disabling your firewall? [03:41] phix: no I mean it still in 25.. but that one is for webmail access only [03:41] the funny thing is i evan don't have a firewall [03:41] hmm [03:41] c0l2e: what? [03:41] cornwall: [03:42] c0l2e: oh this isn't a mail server you are connecting to, it is a webserver? [03:42] c0l2e: well use mod_redirect or something like that if you have access to apache config [03:42] phix: it's not a webserver [03:42] c0l2e: webmail means it is running on a webserver :) [03:43] c0l2e: stop confusing me, explain how you system is set out and what you are trying to achieve [03:43] phix: yeah i mean... our router has a different forwarded webserver [03:43] here what our current setup [03:44] ROUTER point port 80 ---> localip 192.168.1.20 [03:44] :( that is sh.... [03:44] ROUTER point point 5051 ---> localip 192.168.100.21:80 [03:44] like that [03:44] kismet, what? [03:44] why is that not working if i copy the link in brower it works [03:44] c0l2e: so you are trying to access the webmail externalling? or internally? [03:45] externally [03:45] c0l2e: ok, use apache mod_proxy [03:45] I already created a dynDNS [03:45] ah [03:45] kismet, what about your proxy settings for apt-get? [03:45] c0l2e: setup a proxy pass from /webmail for example to go to your internal IP [03:45] how can i see the proxy settings for apt-get cornwall [03:45] hmm [03:46] c0l2e: read up on mod_proxy, google for it :) [03:46] phix: can you give a hint?? [03:46] allow or deny [03:46] or sudo apt-get install apache2-docs I think the name of it is [03:46] phix: I'm afraid I haven't use mod_proxy before [03:46] c0l2e: I gave you a hint :) you want me to hold your hand and spoon feed you as well? :) [03:46] c0l2e: so read up on it then [03:46] could someone help me fix my xorg config? i have a outdated video card that supports 1024x768 16bit in windows, but hihgest i can get in linux is 800x600 [03:46] ok thanks [03:46] hi, nm-applet stopped working after I did an update, it sort of crashes and doesn't respond to anything, does anyone know of this issue ? [03:47] kismet, I'm trying to remember :) [03:47] cornwall: thx ;) [03:47] c0l2e: here is an example of it --> ProxyPass /threat http://threat.lan:80/ [03:47] ProxyPassReverse /threat http://threat.lan:80/ [03:48] thanks [03:48] stuntshunter, read the xorg log file and see if it gives any errors [03:48] phix: can i do that inside a virtualhost?? [03:48] MindSpark: I have heard of this twice today, found a simple fix, run a LiveCD or get it from the deb mirrors. [03:48] c0l2e: you need to ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/mod_proxy.* /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ first though or something like that, you should really read the docs about it first though :) [03:48] c0l2e: yes [03:48] c0l2e: READ THE DOCS! [03:48] :) [03:48] It tells you all about it there [03:49] yeah I think i got those apache plugins/mod [03:49] What is the 9.10 channel called? [03:49] wheres the log for it, same as the configuration file? [03:49] vigo, I actually shut off network manager and connected manually using iwconfig and dhclient, does this mean it's a bug ?

[03:49] thanks [03:49] kismet, ah, forget that, I don't think a proxy would do anything, anyway. have you tried running 'sudo apt-get -f update' ? [03:49] thanks [03:49] c0l2e: or sudo apt-get install apache2-docs or something like that [03:50] gimme a min this computer is slow(300MHz) [03:51] That isn't slow! that would make an awesomely fast router [03:51] stuntshunter, will be Xorg.0.log [03:51] MindSpark: Is prolly still there, just launch it from Terminal or get the GUI repo from the Source,Synaptic or wget.ftp network manager debian archive, that is in no way the actual command, but it is one the forums. [03:51] cornwall: i just tried your command and still the same problem [03:51] how do I configure locales? [03:51] kismet, have you recently added a ppa? [03:52] cornwall: but i don't have a proxy for apt-get i checked that in /etc/apt/apt.conf [03:52] vigo, can you please rephrase that ?

[03:55] MindSpark: There are about 20 posts on that, may have to look for the one that you are comfortable with. [03:55] Sledger: you want to add another hard disc image to it?

[03:58] stuff: It sounds like that isn't the problem though :) [03:58] stuff: just a coquinicidence (I can't spell)\ [03:58] starcannon, mattwj2002: / not /root [03:58] MindSpark: Here is the Source from a Debian Repository: https://wiki.thayer.dartmouth.edu/display/linux/Ubuntu+nm-applet+Bug [03:58] okay [03:58] hmmm [03:58] maybe I should just do that [03:58] :) [03:59] it might be easier [03:59] :) [03:59] mattwj2002: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:59] phix, what else could be [03:59] I did it with and without [03:59] mattwj2002: But, upgrading should work just fine. What "doesn't work"? Do you get an error? [03:59] time log in as a new user so I can fix this taskbar problem [03:59] and moving it a lot is the only wway to get it to start [03:59] Flannel yes I guess I should say it that way, just never sure how to keep a slash from getting lost in the chat text [03:59] otheriwse it dies [03:59] nope it just doesn't work with those commands [03:59] mattwj2002: Are you on 8.10 right now? [03:59] yup [03:59] vigo, this is quite old, I am on karmic. is this still valid for me ? [03:59] see [04:00] sigh... [04:00] there is no alternative cd for mythbuntu [04:00] mattwj2002: Alright, try this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JauntyUpgrades It's a bit more indepth [04:00] MindSpark: One moment then,, [04:00] mattwj2002 its a pita if you have stuff already on your /home partition, but it makes it much easier for upgrading in the future, kinda a one time hassle so that you don't have to hassle again [04:00] mattwj2002: And you're hoping to upgrade from the CD? [04:00] so I have to use the desktop cd and it doesn't work :( [04:00] mattwj2002: No, you need the alternate CD. Grab an Ubuntu alternate CD. It'll work. [04:00] kismet, did you find it? [04:00] ok im back after using right process... [04:01] here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/286670/ [04:01] no on second thought I think I'll just do a fresh install [04:01] :) [04:01] kismet, System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager [04:01] stuff: your computer has a form of sexual deviancy and it is only letting you use it if you jack off its mouse [04:01] mattwj2002: er, wait. There is an alternateCD [04:01] Quick question: How can I adjust my screen resolution from the command line? It is so low that I can't get to the apply button in the display prefs. [04:01] good practice for 9.10 anyways ;) [04:01] cornwall: wait just a sec [04:01] MindSpark: Here it is: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/network-manager-applet/0.8~a~git.20090923t220421.1ac8ffd-0ubuntu4 [04:01] that is for 8.04 though [04:01] mattwj2002: Oh, only for 8.04, nevermind. But yeah, just use the Ubuntu alt CD for the upgrade. [04:01] stuff: hey just as feasiable as moving it to make it work in the first place :) [04:01] :O [04:01] ug [04:01] rockclimb u there?

[04:02] hello [04:02] I'm having an issue with logins taking forever [04:02] command line (at console, ssh, or with 'su - user') or graphical [04:03] MindSpark: You're on Karmic? You should be asking in #ubuntu+1. It might be a known issue, with a proper workaround. [04:03] this is on a system that was upgraded from 8.04 --> 8.10 --> 9.04 [04:03] and I didn't see this issue until a few days ago [04:03] any ideas? [04:03] MindSpark: You shouldn't need to compile manually,no. Whatever fixes get made you'll see soon. [04:03] cornwall: there are no preference network... i can just see a list with all and there are all the packes which i installed [04:03] could someone help me fix my xorg conf, my graphics card is soo ld that i guess its assigning a genreic driver, i cant get past 800x600, and i know its capable of more cause i can run it in windows at 1024x768 at 16bit [04:03] MindSpark that is the Source, is the GTK , but since you are on line you can also grab it from wget or Synaptics. [04:03] cornwall: sorrry [04:04] thanks guys for the help! [04:04] cornwall: i got it ... a little dumb... i use global menu thats why i didn't find it [04:04] kismet, my bad, it's in Settings>Preferences>Network [04:04] this seems to happen before /etc/profile is reached [04:04] :) [04:04] gtg [04:04] bye!

[04:07] cornwall: should be.... [04:07] whats the best IRC client to use? [04:07] cornwall: i didn't changed my wireless settings or any just made a encrypt [04:08] MindSpark: I am on Karmic Dev, mine just says Network-Manager [04:08] personalyi like mirc [04:08] onats, I'm happy with XChat [04:08] looks like the taskbar issue might be a bug or limitation of the window manager :( [04:08] why does the apply buttong dissappear when i try to add encryption while setting up a wireless network? [04:08] but alas im stuck with pidgin.. [04:08] vigo, both network-manager and network-manager-gnome are installed [04:09] kismet, maybe you should try turning that off. Also, you might want to try wired [04:09] stuntshunter: I just logged on .. why stuck with pidgin? What are you trying to connect to? [04:09] A music messaging session has been requested. Please click the MM icon to accept. [04:09] MenZa: That is sound advice [04:09] MindSpark: That is kinda what I thought, Now you just need or want the GUI applet or Launcher? [04:09] ? [04:09] kismet, but if your browser can go the the nets, apt-get should, too... so I don't understand why it isn't. Is your browser directly connecting to the internet, or are you using a proxy? [04:09] vigo, I am not sure what that is called :S [04:09] i just using it cause i just reintalled os and it was convienient [04:10] stuntshunter: for irc?..

[04:11] stuntshunter: irssi is light.. and cli only.. so it's really light :) [04:11] maybe that'll fix it [04:11] takes a while to do anything [04:11] cornwall: wired? what is that [04:12] kismet, Ethernet instead of wireless [04:12] hi to all. its my first time here.

[05:26] * stuntshunter says later [05:26] Myth`: yup. you? [05:26] calebH: Yeah. [05:26] so can i fix this grub issue without referring to my windows cd? [05:26] menza: does ubuntu server 8.04 lts not have a graphical interface? also windows pcs will be compatable with ubuntu right? [05:26] i have the ubuntu 9.04 cd [05:26] is there a wireless support channel anywhere on here? [05:26] calebH: Anyway, had to split the project across 15 boxes using adobe acrobat. [05:26] menza: and yes i'd like something with a graphical interface. === Guest93517 is now known as ogr3 [05:27] shepherd: You can setup samba shares to share files with Windows, yes. By default, server is very similar to the Desktop version, except it doesn't have a graphical interface. [05:27] Myth`: and use Adobe's batch processing? [05:27] calebH: yeah, then consolidate all PDF's to such directory (folder1) and compare against native files (folder2) [05:27] calebH: Is rsync applicable in this situation? [05:28] can you run osx in a VM on ubuntu [05:28] menza: so its all terminal? [05:28] shepherd: Correct. Like I said, the main difference is that it comes without a graphical user interface. It's easy to deploy the same packages on the Desktop version, which has a GUI. [05:28] ewb: won't be easy. .. osx is tied somwhat to it's hardware [05:29] Myth`: rsync will compare files in dir1 vs dir2 and sync them. Good for keeping dirs sync'd too, cuz it will only transfer the diffs between files [05:29] calebH: Hmm, not exactly what I'm looking for but I could sort by date modified [05:29] menza: i see. thanks [05:29] dandaman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [05:29] can someone help me do it [05:29] shepherd: No problems :) [05:29] calebH: Hash differences or strictly file names?

If so, google "bootitng" and create a USB/CD startup disk and try using that to boot into windows to back your file up [06:14] sorry to be rude but F*** it , im switching to Debian Lenny [06:14] dandaman: what error number you get, or what error msg u get [06:14] Ben_90: well, i guess we'll disband then [06:14] brb [06:14] owen1: update-manager -d [06:14] good night [06:14] i can still boot into windows ;) just don't have a good way to backup, and was hoping to be able to simply copy over the data from a "backup partition" :) [06:14] owen1, given Karmic hasn't even hit RC yet, you might want to wait a few more weeks [06:15] owen1: Geoffrey2 is right, its buggy [06:15] cylex: error 21 [06:15] Grub error 21 [06:15] mblues: have you installed ubuntu on the machine you want to nuke? [06:15] cylex: thanks. isn't there a way without opening UI elements? [06:15] Ben_90: If you can't summon the patience to run a shell script, you won't be any happier with Debian. Try Mint... [06:15] Geoffrey2: got it [06:15] not yet, but apparently something i did just made windows freak out ;) so it looks like i'm about to install ubuntu [06:15] I will sleep now [06:15] see ya [06:15] owen1: yes, it would work the same way.. except you are in GUI mode so it does that [06:16] Hello, I just installed ubuntu, and everything was running fine. I installed the updates; I reboot, and now it says "Code: Bad EIP Value, Kernel Panic - not syncing; Fatal exception in interupt" [06:16] dandaman: you have to fix your mbr, are you running xp? [06:16] odd, i made no changes to the partition - i don't think ubuntu liveCD did - oh well, bye bye windows - thanks for nothing! :P [06:16] im running windows 7 release candidate [06:17] mblues: install ubuntu using minimal space from startup disk, NOT wubi. once installed, reboot from live CD. kill everything on your windows partition except what you wanna back up, resize the new free space to ubuntu, move the backed up files to ubuntu, then kill the rest of the windows space and resize the whole disk to ubuntu [06:17] i tried doing http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=622828 [06:17] p1ckLe: which version? [06:17] dandaman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=62717 <-- try this one [06:17] but it says it cant find the package ms-sys [06:17] hm okay I'm getting spike lags every 2 mins on the second [06:17] losha: the latest from the website, 9.whatever [06:17] on my wifi card [06:17] any idea what it could be? [06:18] p1ckLe: er, the .whatever matters. Which is it? [06:18] /server linuxsir.org/6667 [06:18] losha: 9.04 [06:18] dandaman: ok, do you have xp cd near by, but do know that this will wipe out your entire comp [06:18] hans: ok, i'm booting off of the CD to install now, i hope the data is there ;) would be nice to have my mp3s - but i think it's going to get nuked when i partition the disk [06:18] hi guys... i accidently deleted my ntfs partition... Is there any tool in ubuntu to recover it? [06:18] problem is, it doesn't detect the windows partition [06:18] i cant wipe out my computer [06:18] i have things on it i need [06:18] and i dont have time to back shit up [06:18] gpart will let you scan the drive to find partition boundaries [06:19] p1ckLe: do you know if it installed a new kernel? If it did, you should be able to boot to the previous kernel... [06:19] i need to get it fixed tonight [06:19] then you can use fdisk to restore it [06:19] mblues: do you mean it won't as in the startup disk doesn't detect windows? [06:19] dandaman: hmm [06:19] obadeh: is it for me? [06:19] hans: correct, neither liveCD mode or installer itself [06:19] mohanohi, yes sorry [06:19] how do I install prepflog.pl? [06:19] losha: i attempted to go to the menu and load to the different kernel, but i get the same errors. honestly, i dont know if it installed another one or not. new to this and didnt think to look on the list of updates. [06:19] dandaman, what's the problem? [06:19] obadeh: fdisk in ubuntu? [06:19] mblues: oh. ok. short of an external HDD or burning to a DVD then, you're screwed. [06:19] now attempting to boot back into windows throws an error as if the partition has been sacked - i doubt the data will be there ;) [06:19] :p [06:19] yep [06:19] I need a file server in Ubuntu. I have used Samba in the past. But reading its description it might be overkill (I don't need windows domain stuff, etc.). Is there a better option? Its not build in is it? [06:19] jeeves_Moss: its a script.. run it.. perl prepflog.pl [06:19] ;) [06:19] mohanohi, yeah [06:19] I'm beginning to think switching to xubuntu was a bad idea....shoulda stuck with ubuntu......it worked, at least [06:19] obadeh: gparted shows unknown partition.. [06:19] sorry man, I'm out if ideas. maybe someone else will have one [06:20] it [06:20] mohanohi, how did you delete it? [06:20] berzerker: i have 2 hard drives, one with windows 7 rc and another with ubuntu 9.04 that i just installed [06:20] it's alright, just music i can recover [06:20] Biovore, thanks [06:20] mohanohi, there's a diff between gparted and gpart [06:20] obadeh: while installing windows [06:20] dandaman, yup [06:20] when i load up windows 7 i get grub error 21 [06:20] i hope that ubuntu has a good (binary) usenet reader ;) [06:20] obadeh: oh.. [06:20] mohanohi, how'd it happen? [06:20] Biovore, I'm trying to use it with SWStats to get my mail [06:20] when i load up ubuntu it says grub and sits there [06:20] p1ckLe: if you're a newbie, 9.04 is not a great choice. 8.04 is a much better first time OS as its much more stable... [06:20] mohanohi, msg me? [06:21] jeeves_Moss: get your mail from here? [06:21] obadeh: i had 2 hard drive.. [06:21] (where) [06:21] dandaman: ok restore win7 mbr, and don't install it as mbr, just let it do the regular install, and install it in same partitioned place so you don't wipe out win7, here's the link to fix the mbr: http://www.ehow.com/how_4836283_repair-mbr-windows.html# [06:21] losha: thanks. had no idea.. lol. [06:21] and for future reference, the package I was asking about is "libxine1-ffmpeg", which is required to play mp3's in amarok [06:21] obadeh: instead of installing on another hard drive, i partitioned the 500 gb hard drive.. [06:21] place = please [06:21] here's another problem [06:21] p1ckLe: yeah, we don't tell people that until 9.04 flakes out... [06:21] when i try to boot from the windows 7 cd [06:22] it says booting from cd [06:22] gives up [06:22] then goes to the next boot option [06:22] which is my windows 7 boot [06:22] hah. good luck with windows 7 dandaman. [06:22] Biovore, no, I have a v-hostes postfix server, and I keep getting http://pastebin.ca/1596867 [06:22] anytime I try and reboot from Nix to Win7, it takes me between 4 and 11 reboots [06:22] dandaman, did you put DIRECTLY to the CD via the boot menu? [06:22] dandaman: try restoring the partition, looks like you either over wrote windows or, mbr is broken :( [06:22] boot* [06:22] Berzerker: yes [06:22] hans: part of the reason i am done with windows 7 ;() [06:23] dandaman: try this: http://www.ehow.com/how_4836283_repair-mbr-windows.html# [06:23] cylex: i didnt overwrite the boot, i made sure i put ubuntu on my new hd [06:23] where can i get help about LFS === cellofellow is now known as cellofellow|slee [06:23] dandaman, what happens when you try to boot off the Windows 7 CD? === cellofellow|slee is now known as cellofellowsleep [06:23] mblues: if only I didn't *need* to use AutoCAD software that WINE cannot even comprehend, let alone run [06:23] dandaman, it should say "press any key to boot from CD or DVD...." [06:23] it doesnt [06:23] it just says booting from cd [06:23] do you have more than 1 CD drive? [06:24] i have one [06:24] but i could throw another on there [06:24] dandaman: did you verify CS after burning? [06:24] CD* [06:24] jeeves_Moss: looks like you are missing Date/Calc.pm which is a perl module. It *ought* to have been installed automatically as a dependency. You can try installing it by hand... [06:24] I was going to make sure you're choosing the right one [06:24] hans: i used it to install windows 7 [06:24] and it worked [06:24] losha, ok, how do I do that? [06:24] dandaman: was it scratched between now and then? [06:24] hans: nope [06:25] losha, I think once it's installed, the problems will go away. I've tested the rest of the script, and it's only getting caught on this one section [06:25] dandaman, you hit F11 on boot and it use the CD drive option? it should work if you do that, that has no interaction with GRUB [06:25] Berzerker: correct [06:25] when is 9.10 out? [06:25] heh [06:25] jw [06:25] money, 29th [06:25] but something might be fucked with my bios [06:25] Berzerker: he gets error 21, which is mbr error [06:25] money, RC on Windows 7 day. [06:25] im juust not sure because im booting off ubuntu cd [06:25] why does it always have to be the end of the month? [06:25] lame [06:25] Is samba my best choice for a basic file server? [06:25] jeeves_Moss: run apt-cache search perl | egrep -i calc Do you see something like libdate-calc-perl ? [06:25] cylex, but booting off the boot menu from the BIOS has nothing to do with GRUB [06:25] ubuntu should ask at install if you want to share your free cpu to cure diseases or something [06:25] nope [06:25] fuck that [06:25] how is that even possible? [06:25] money: Please mind your language. [06:26] Berzerker: I am thinking he might of installed ubuntu on a master boot record [06:26] their is far more to curing diseases than simply crunching numbers [06:26] heh [06:26] dandaman: can u try to boot from other hdd [06:26] it should work [06:26] not really... [06:26] losha, I get nothing returned. it just line feeds [06:26] cylex: when i boot from the hard drive with ubuntu [06:26] it just says grub [06:26] if the MBR is F'ed, then nothing will work [06:26] and sits there [06:27] jeeves_Moss: what os version are you running? [06:27] dandaman: reverse the order of hdd, see if that works [06:27] dandaman, what do you mena just says "Grub" and sits there [06:27] doesnt load up ubuntu [06:27] the loading screen [06:27] losha, it's Ubuntu and I think it's 9.1 [06:27] Grub loading stage 1.5? [06:27] does it have a count down? [06:27] it says grub loading stage 1.5 when i load up the windows hard drive [06:27] 9.10 is buggy :( [06:27] but when loading the ubuntu hd, it just says grub [06:27] no count down [06:27] jeeves_Moss: please run lsb_release -a [06:27] cylex - uh what did you find? [06:27] just GRUB? [06:27] that's it [06:28] nothing else? [06:28] thats it [06:28] nothing else [06:28] losha, ok, what does that do? [06:28] Hi people. Got a 1TB Seagate drive (sata) for extra storage. Anytime it's connected I can boot into linux ( ubuntu 8.10, ubuntu 9.04, Suse 11) [06:28] Not even live cds.....as soon as i disconnect the drive i can boot live cds or ubuntu 8.04 of my ide fine.. [06:28] losha, it's 9.04 [06:28] Bluey: like for instance, if you install from windows, it gives you grub error.. [06:28] dandaman, try using this http://www.supergrubdisk.org/index.php?pid=5 burn it to a CD and use it to repair grub [06:28] will that fix my windows 7 issue? [06:28] cylex -- wubi? [06:28] er...anytime the drive is connected i *cant* boot into linux. [06:28] Bluey: yeah [06:29] Hello All [06:29] Bluey: If you know a work around it, I would love to install it [06:29] cylex -- ouch that's a bad bug.... [06:29] dandaman, possibly. if it doesn't, at least you'll most likely be able to get into Ubuntu to mess with the boot file to fix that one === bob is now known as Guest19837 [06:29] cylex - no experience with 9.10 [06:29] dandaman, should fix both though [06:29] Bluey: I think they might of left it on purpose for developers to fix until its fully working. [06:29] someguy1980: ive some quirky exernal drives with the same issue. I had a usb 'pci card' for extra ports. if i plugged it into one of those..it did let the system boot fine [06:29] Hi!All [06:29] jeeves_Moss: ok, you need to find and install libdate-calc-perl. I don't run 9.04 myself so I'm not sure where it will be for you. Try some more searches e.g. apt-cache search perl | egrep data [06:30] cylex - I need a newer kde to run digikam - think I'll wait - the update looks painful... [06:30] if i allocate partition space on two separate hard drives to "/home" will that cause anything weird to happen, or will Linux write the data between the drives? [06:30] Dr_Willis: thx for the tip. this is an internal drive, i havent tried a diff sata port yet [06:30] jeeves_Moss: oops, typo: that's apt-cache search perl | egrep date of course [06:31] Bluey: hmm, never went that far with Ubuntu... all I use it for is web and email [06:31] I am upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 but its giving me error http://pastebin.com/m47b21182, plz can any one help me??? [06:31] Shtl: join #ubuntu+1 [06:31] cylex - I just want to do simple photo processing - gimp works, but EXTREMLY awkward [06:32] Bluey: what lsb release you are on? [06:32] mblues: it won't do what you want. You need LVM to combine two physical partitions into one virtual one, and it's more trouble than it's worth. Name one of them /home and the other /backup and just copy stuff between them manually... [06:32] someguy1980: internal? that is very very weird then. [06:32] someguy1980: unless its some how defaulting to trying to boot that drive.. or the drive is slow to spin up. [06:32] upgraded my karmic now and the nm-applet are bugging to connect to my wireless =/ [06:33] cylex - using 64 bit ubuntu 9.04 [06:33] losha: roger, thanks [06:33] Dr_Willis: ya =( im about to try debian now. the drive is perfect under windows and is a pretty quick drive overall. the sys hard freezes, num lock and caps lock dont toggle lights as they should. [06:33] Bluey: nice. <-- ubuntu 9.04 cli brb [06:33] also - this box has 6 gigs of RAM - i was going to allocate 12 gigs for swap (googling said so) - anyone think that's overkill? (sorry, new to linux here) [06:33] yes [06:33] I use 1.5X [06:34] someguy1980: you said it wouldent even let you boot live cd's - be a intersting test to see if other disrtos live cd's had same issue. [06:34] hello there [06:34] mblues: vastly overkill. [06:34] if you are swapping 6 gig of ram, you've problems. [06:34] mblues: 2x ram was a rule of thumb - years ago [06:34] Bluey: you underestimate my power to write bad code [06:34] Dr_Willis: ya, not even live cds. it tries to detect the drive, fails hard - the does nothing. disconnect the drive = everything works. so far suse also doesnt work. [06:34] mblues -- what are doing? trying to be the new bill gates? [06:34] While installing unetbootin karmic remix ??? ok window comes up during "Detecting file systems" then hangs [06:35] mblues: I imagine 2gb of swap would be plenty. [06:35] bluey: haha, how did you guess? ;) [06:35] can someone please tell me if there is an issue with jaunty and ati 4670s? i have folowed 3 different methods and can not get the driver installed correctly [06:36] also, running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" only prompts me to configure a keyboard, should it not also ask me to select adriver? [06:36] mblues -- 2 rules to follow when dealing with computers - rule 1 -- always have a path back to the way it was, before you messed it up. Rule 2 -- follow rule 1. [06:36] mblues: yes, twice ram is an old rule and it's generally overkill nowadays. Are you going to require suspend/resume? If not, then you may not need a swap partition at all. Allocate 6G of swap after your data partition and monitor it. If you find you don't swap at all, you can eliminate it later and allocate it back to your data partition... [06:36] Bluey: nice one... [06:36] bluey: by those terms i am in a world of hurt right now ;) [06:36] like mayor daly -- save early and save often! [06:37] heh [06:37] or was that voting? [06:38] jeeves_Moss: make any progress? [06:38] hola a una puta aqui [06:38] you want a whore here/ [06:39] ronny_: the only putas here are computadoras... [06:39] LOL [06:39] anyone that can lend a hand? [06:40] plight - for what? [06:41] having an issue getting an ati display driver installed/configured in jaunty [06:42] followed three different methods, but nothing seems to work [06:42] plight -- I'm not good with that -- but someone here prolly is.... [06:42] I couldn't get my webcam to work, if that's any solace... [06:43] lol [06:43] plight: what is the symptom? [06:43] plight: have you tried: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty#Install_nVidia.2FATI_drivers [06:43] plight - the directions were really complicated - and involved using an old complier -- umm I didn't think that was a good iddea [06:44] plight: the chances of someone here knowing a 'magical' 4th method of driver installation that's not on the web seems slim, to be honest... [06:44] ive followed a couple different methods from xbmc, ati linux driver wiki, and some other site that i allready closed [06:44] plight: so you followed the one from ubuntuguide.org? [06:45] wow - sound like a grassy knowl experience [06:45] well, the issue is after installing the driver, fglrxinfo always throws Error: unable to open display (null) [06:45] let me check that one [06:45] Bluey: boo... [06:45] hey... [06:46] heh [06:46] * Bluey prolly watched too much oliver stone in his lifetime.... [06:47] Anyone available to help me troubleshoot some phpmyadmin installation problems in ubuntu jaunty?? [06:47] is there an ubuntu service that scans for wifi networks every 2 mins? [06:47] drat - don't use php and don't use wif -- sorry... [06:47] Tehedra: not at all, do you want to follow a howto? [06:47] (I'd like to shut it off..) [06:48] Cylex, I actually followed a howto and everything looked successful, minus when I go to login it seemingly doesn't exist... [06:48] Tehedra: can I see the link?

Vuze may be if tor is enabled, but that becomes a problem if [08:17] can someone give me maybe the exact line for the terminal i'd need to write [08:17] im in a live session [08:17] whats the most lightweight flash player for ubuntu? [08:17] so thats why i dont have permissions [08:18] snuxoll: compiz++ overcomes the max testure size problem. With compiz as it is now, running it on higher resolutions than the MTS for the card will result in corruption past the MTS resolution [08:18] snuxoll: xrandr doesn't help in this case [08:18] soreau: I just upgraded to karmic and am trying to get Xgl to work under KMS/uxa so I can use compiz [08:18] soreau: yeah, but if he's only setting his virtual size as 4096 then that's the same as the MTS on the 4K series === Wajih is now known as MaWaLe [08:18] logankoester: You don't need Xgl. It's old and not needed anymore [08:19] im going to kill myself [08:19] logankoester: What does 'glxinfo|grep render' say? [08:19] mneptok: there is no better compliment to give than to use the ubuntu karmic beta as a test file. [08:19] cant take this anymore [08:19] soreau: compiz fails to launch stating xgl not present [08:19] xgl...wow, I haven't seen anyone use that since....6.10 [08:19] Ok thank you, i'll be waiting for the next version of compiz then ... sigh.... [08:19] logankoester: That's simply an informational warning, not an error [08:20] Guest2298: does X start or is compiz that just fails? [08:20] Guest2298: if it's just compiz then could you try metacity's compositor? [08:20] soreau: Oh, okay. In any case, I'd like to get it working :) glxinfo|grep render says "direct rendering: Yes\nOpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer" [08:20] omac: if you feel you have something of value to offer to the release team, offer it to them. but until then, do not advertise unofficial sources for Ubuntu images in official channels. [08:20] snuxoll: Compiz works but he doesn't want to lower his resolution to fix it [08:20] can someone help me, im going crazy over this, can anyone devote some time to me in private chat [08:21] soreau: the hell kind of resolution is he using? [08:21] dandaman: what are you actually trying to do? [08:21] dandaman: I suggest you call a local hotline if you need help on this [08:21] logankoester: Ok, there's your real problem. swrast (Software Rasterizer) Your X log should show why it's falling back to swrast. So can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [08:21] mneptok: Thanks for the clarification.

[08:22] trying to put supergrub on a pen drive [08:22] dandaman: sudo cp ~/Desktop/filename /media/[volume-name]/dest_file [08:22] snuxoll: Resolution has nothing to do with the size of the monitors [08:22] snuxoll: His cards MTS is 2048 and one of his resolution dimensions is 2560 (1280x2) [08:23] says no such file or directory home/ubuntu/desktop/temp5/boot [08:23] soreau: I thought he had a 4XXX card?

I never did get the output of 'glxinfo -l|grep -i max_texture_size' from him [08:24] well if someone helped me out, i wouldnt need to [08:24] mneptok: One more thing. You guys rock! Karmic Beta rocks! The USB Disk Creator works without any hitches every time. The USB Thumb Drive boot with Karmic Beta boots up the desktop in 1 minute 15 seconds on my old Celeron 2.6GHz CPU.

[08:25] alright, im sorry then [08:25] c00lryguy: just use the adobe flash player, it works [08:25] Guest2298: Hey, what is the output of 'glxinfo -l|grep -i max_texture_size' BTW?

[08:39] cybersplice, cool. I've been messing with the port forwarding but no go still [08:40] Port forwarding isn't the issue, since your SSH works OK.

[09:18] ct529: you can do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to install them [09:18] ct529: it happens when an update to a package adds a new package to its dependencies - apt-get upgrade will NEVER install new packages, only updates [09:18] mcmlxxi: over the years of fighting with samba. ive just developed a routine of what to doto get things working. :) [09:18] Oh and new kernels are always held back [09:18] ct529: true, but your system should also boot but it doesnt [09:18] ct529: your system is on its ass so should is out the window [09:18] mcmlxxi: set up same workgroups. make sure names are in /etc/hosts like findsmb shows.. give users a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' and so on.. [09:19] Dr_Willis, I'm in the web interface now, I can't see a setting for workgroup name [09:19] firecrotch: ActionParsnip: sorry did not understand the last two sentences .... :) [09:19] mcmlxxi: also check the ip range to be shared to. couldbe a wrong/blocked range [09:19] mcmlxxi: and see what services other ways it may share the printer [09:19] ct529: from the termina run: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [09:19] Dr_Willis, that's the problem, findsmb can't find it [09:19] ActionParsnip: yes, already done .... [09:19] mcmlxxi: that sort of tells me it may be using a different ip/range [09:20] mcmlxxi: findsmb shows all the various workgrpups it sees here. [09:20] ct529: if you cant get a desktop now, run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop [09:20] Dr_Willis, I just checked, it is using the same IP range as us [09:20] ActionParsnip: yes, I have no problems with my desktop .... why???? [09:20] mcmlxxi: im out of ideas then. #samba may have some more ideas. [09:21] bryanp6: doesn't look like there are any restrictions in the config. [09:21] hi. i have a little question about vpn. i am using openvpn to connect to a vpn provider. in jaunty and below it was no problem. when i connected to vpn, all my traffic was redirected thru vpn. but here in karmic (beta) i can still connect but nothing will be routed thru vpn. i am using the exactly same config files. [09:21] ct529: what is your issue again? [09:21] ct529: please [09:22] ActionParsnip: the apt-cacher + the long list of backlog on update .... :) .... both already solved ....

What's the best way to make sure the internet/eth0 is up before launching the program ? I tried /etc/rc.local /etc/rc2.d with S90 in the filename...and also headers in those scripts. nothing works. [09:37] hello. http://paste2.org/p/454833 [09:38] ActionParsnip [09:38] HI [09:38] blip- ive used rc.local but put a long pause/wait befor stuff starts up.. Or you could check the ouytput of ifconfig i guess to be sure networkingis working befor launching the app. [09:39] OK. bryanp6. sudo apt-get install pastebinit [09:39] bryanp6: then do, pastebinit -i /etc/ssh/sshd_config -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [09:39] Dr_Willis: hmm I also tried that, sleep 20 seconds but it didn't seem to work. can I check the ifconfig output in the script itself ? won't that just mean eth0 is up but it the machine hasn't neccessarily recieved an ip by dhcp ? [09:39] send me the url it generates [09:39] qdb: No apport report written because the error message indicates a disk full error [09:40] what is the best way to extra a bunch of links out of a web page source? [09:40] qdb: if you run: df -h is the partition holding /var/cache at 100% use by any chance [09:40] extract^ [09:40] cybersplice: http://paste.ubuntu.com/286794/ [09:40] blip-: you could see if ifconfig eth0 has a valid ip via some script/grep/sed commands i imagine. [09:41] ActionParsnip: So I downloaded that driver, I guess it installed ok... no errors or anything. I'm still not getting the compiz effects. Any ideas? [09:41] bryanp6: see the line where it says #ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 ? [09:41] ActionParsnip, df like shows incorrectly 5.3G free space [09:41] cybersplice: yeah [09:41] blip-: or i recall there being a command sing that can ping/wait for a network to be avail. its dssigned for scripting also [09:41] bryanp6: remove the # and save the file. [09:41] it says that's to set restrictions though === MadMax is now known as MaxSid [09:41] bryanp6: it's so you can restrict the server to a specific IP, for example. So only an administrator can connect, etc. [09:41] ActionParsnip: Sorry, just saw your other msg about restarting X. Will do it now! [09:41] bryanp6: You don't need it, and it's getting in teh way. [09:42] I'm trying to get my realtek 8101E ethernet card working, I don't even have an eth0 in ifconfig. Anyone got any ideas? [09:42] cybersplice: saved [09:42] bryanp6: /etc/init.d/sshd restart [09:42] then try again [09:42] joe84: if you run nvidia-settings do you get an error message?

[09:42] cybersplice: connection refused [09:43] qdb: looks like you need to fsck imho, i dont understand russian so dont understand the errors you are getting so much [09:43] qdb: could try: sudo apt-get clean [09:43] qdb: then retry [09:43] Evening all. [09:43] i tried both this [09:43] when was in recovery mode [09:43] i will try again [09:43] hmm [09:44] r8169 driver doesn't appear to work [09:44] fsck says WARNING!!!

Anyways, off i goes. [09:45] qdb, what are you trying to fsck? /? /home? [09:45] chu_, / [09:45] Dr_Willis: I just installed a sing from the repo, is it this one: sing - Send ICMP Nasty Garbage packets to network hosts [09:45] qdb: you definitely should NOT run e2fsck on a mounted filesystem [09:45] can somebody help me fix suspend function in my laptop. When i suspends successfully but can't resume [09:46] thank you [09:46] Maybe a Live disc? [09:46] hows it possible to check if the vpn is correctly encrypted? [09:46] chu_, i can run it in recovery mode [09:46] i have already runned it [09:46] i think is not needed [09:47] ActionParsnip: Just tried logging out and trying again... still doesn't work. Would I need to restart the machine? [09:47] it is not needed [09:48] anyone got realvnc enterprise viewer here? [09:48] no [09:48] ? [09:48] hey pradeep, from India?

[09:58] jpds: the transparent squids of the deep ocean! On the Next national Geographic special. [09:59] ActionParsnip: then why does synaptic look so ugly running using gksudo [09:59] firecrotch: thanks ill try you suggestion now [09:59] nimrod0: its using the root users theme settings. [09:59] firecrotch: would i need to restart my computer? [10:00] nomad111: that should happen already unless your using custom installed themes... if so copy your HOME/.themes to /usr/share/themes [10:00] oops that was for nomad111 :) [10:00] ok ill try it out [10:00] ActionParsnip: Hey I was helping my friend Joe84 with that driver problem and after he installed it we tried restarting the machine and he got a bunch of errors and a recommendation to use fsck.

Most of those links say it's an ubuntu bug., [10:21] but when i try "gphoto2 --get-all-files --debug" i get an error which says "could not lock the device" [10:21] Promille: the link was more of a evidence thing then a fix [10:21] HypothesisFrog: I get the warning but my oowriter starts [10:21] Drainman: dmesg | grep sd [10:21] ok forget about this [10:21] FonFon: again, thanks for help but no luck unfortunately. just a guy learning to forward traffic to that port^^ [10:21] I better wait for my boss before snatching the core2duo [10:22] arg damn it [10:22] can anyone help me to install X-fi sound driver? [10:22] was open office upgraded recently? I've only recently started having this problem. [10:22] HypothesisFrog: I'm using 3.0.1 and its fine [10:22] HypothesisFrog: did you move your profile like the thread said? [10:22] recreate the profile [10:22] zaoul I deleted it. No difference. [10:23] zaoul: dmesg | tail tells me new "usb 1-3: high speed device using ehci_hcd and address 4" [10:23] HypothesisFrog: what version does synaptic have you using? [10:23] i have deleted packeages with errors in synaptic and now seems things are good [10:23] and i can browse these [10:23] zaoul: Drainman is there anything in your camera to enable "storage device" or "mass storage" etc? [10:24] zaoul: no... [10:24] zaoul 1:3.0.1-9ubuntu3.1 [10:24] anyone uses evolution here and could not sync his gmail contacts suddenly? [10:24] zaoul: with f-spot it just says unspecified error [10:24] jesus... [10:24] zaoul: but f-spot uses gphoto2 i think [10:25] Drainman: no /dev/sda1 ? [10:25] Drainman: something you can mount [10:25] can anyone help me to install X-fi sound driver? [10:25] Drainman: I've never had much success with gphoto, I've always tried to find devices that work as a mass storage [10:26] Does any know if Adobe Flash 64 plays well w Ubuntu 9.04 64? [10:26] hello. can someone recommend me a program for gnome to convert .flac files to .mp3? [10:26] godstar: is it even works at 64? [10:27] afaik there is no 64bit support yet. [10:27] eli_: sound converter? [10:27] eli_: probably sox, but why would you want to do such a silly thing? [10:28] eli_: flac is much better than mp3 [10:28] FonFon, zaoul, thx. (because of my stupid cell-phone cant handle .flac) [10:28] yusa: not sure. [10:28] oh .. yea [10:28] well that's good reason [10:28] not that i'll destroy my collection on the pc, but just that i've some sound to listen to when not at homoe [10:28] eli_: though through the conversion process you'll loose more quality, you should get the wav and convert it directly to mp3 [10:29] godstar, I'm pretty sure adobe doesnt made any 64bit flash player. it's not supported in windows. I dunno if there is any opensource plyer which can work at 64bit and play flash [10:29] instead of wav mp3 flac [10:29] Is there any reason why my Radeon X1300 won't work with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS? [10:29] eli_: sudo apt-get install soundconverter [10:29] i dont have any wavs (anymore).. converted all to flac.. too lazy to do flac->wave->mp3.. soon i'll buy something better anyway that can handle flac [10:30] yusa: hmm. I'll find out soon. That does sound accurate since, I have not read anything different. If anything, I'll run another Ubuntu install inside a VM to watch my flash in 32bit.

FLAC can be directly converted to MP3? [10:31] eli_: You need to install the codec libraries [10:31] zaoul: i got it too work with gphoto2 but only when the device is unmounted [10:31] I think Soundconverter does links to it [10:31] ah, thx, got it [10:31] Drainman: ? so you can mount it? [10:32] either or... cool!

Using the motherboard's onboard graphics I am able to get some extra Compiz desktop effects (wobbly windows, ...) but would be much better if I could get the Radeon X1300 to work. Any suggestions? [10:33] zaoul: i uses the gphoto://usb[001:003] url [10:33] godstar: listen, if firefox can play something and doesnt have right plugin, it installs it anyway. so just go flash and try to play it. [10:33] yusa: right. [10:33] Drainman: yea if you get a card reader ubuntu should automagically mount a directory onto your desktop [10:33] is there anywhere I can get a deb for an older version of openoffice?

How do I tell what's relevant? [10:36] HypothesisFrog: something that says..

[10:56] I'm a jr sys admin so I'm more into using my computer for computing than anything else [10:56] haymaker, that issue has been with ubuntu since they switched to pulseaudio [10:56] erUSUL: when I look to add menu there is no restart option there [10:56] yusa: just pointed FF here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ [10:56] yusa: again: right click on the pannel choose "add to panel" and add it again [10:56] this is the msg i keep getting "sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql phpmyadmin" [10:56] yu [10:56] y [10:57] hey I just did a fresh ubuntu 9.04 64 install, first thing I did was install the nvidia drivers for my 9800gt and after a reboot it won't load X, with the error 'no screens found'. any thoughts? [10:57] yusa: and FF installed it. [10:57] godstar: hmm... ff 32bit ? [10:57] ok ... I tried the method found here: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide ... [10:57] erUSUL: again there is no restart option there. :( [10:57] but it didn't work [10:57] krs2: really.. i've had issues but not with it actually stopping, at least not until i started using Karmic [10:57] yusa: I tried it on Ubuntu JJ 64. [10:58] is there actually any what so ever libc5 support left over in ubuntu? [10:58] yusa: so no. FF is 64. [10:58] haymaker, i had it in jaunty as well, bug is still in in karmic =| [10:58] godstar: lemme check [10:58] yusa: i have it it is called "shut down" here 8literal tanslation from spanish) [10:58] alright well at least im not the only one, thanks though ill seeya around [10:59] erUSUL: shutdown is not restart, i need restart as well in popup menu [10:59] yusa: its still in beta, so you know how that goes. (Flash64) [10:59] whats the simplest way to install java and eclipse ide's for programming? [10:59] was I mistaken in assuming the button to enable the nvidia driver was the proper way to go? [10:59] godstar: yeah I have same x64 system and flash is working. but I dont think that is 64bit player, thought ff is 32 [10:59] yusa: when you click the button you are presented with the tipical mnu to shut down restar sleep etc... [11:00] After much researching I noticed that the card worked under Ubuntu 7.10 but then had problems with 8.04. Then I did come across some sites showing how they got it to work using http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide, so I am just wondering if it possible my motherboard may be the problem? [11:00] yusa: why instead ot ranting you just try the thing and see if it fits your needs ?? [11:00] erUSUL: I've just added it mate, it is a small shutdown icon :( [11:00] and?

[13:28] EmilemiL: there might be one in your install environment [13:28] EmilemiL: try some bootoptions then [13:28] EmilemiL: i would try the alternate install cd [13:28] !bootoptions | EmilemiL [13:28] EmilemiL: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [13:29] viirus: that would defeat the point of encryption, wouldn't it? [13:29] it's based on the debian installer and, in my limited experience with ubuntu, a _lot_ more stable than the graphical one [13:29] sipior, and if i have the password? [13:29] Does anyone know why after the latest upgrade I can't get screen resolution above 800x600? I've got an S3 Unichrome, but it worked fine before. And the xorg.conf file doesn't have any "Modes" or "Depth" lines, so a friend of mine said it might be the new xorg, whatever that is. Thanks in advance! :) [13:29] viirus: then you should be fine, assuming the volume is not corrupted. [13:29] ActionParsnip: I tryed them all but since i dont get an error i dont know whats wrong [13:30] RichiH: what's on the alternate cd? [13:30] EmilemiL: packages :p [13:30] sipior, the problem is that i accidently made a new filesystem on it (just started... was runnig for about 5 seconds then i noticed the mistake and killed the pc) [13:30] sipior, and now I cant mount it anymore.... [13:30] EmilemiL: the end result is the same, i.e. an installed ubuntu [13:30] but instead of copying the live system to disk, it actually installs the packages [13:31] viirus: hmm...tricky. have you tried TestDisk? might not work, but worth a shot. === the_archit3ct417 is now known as the_archit3ct [13:31] viirus: i'm guessing backups aren't an option. [13:31] sipior, testdisk didnt seem to work (probably as its encrypted) [13:32] EmilemiL: tried the alternate CD? [13:32] sipior, backups dont exist -.- [13:32] RichiH: okey, i might need to try the alternate cd. [13:32] ActionParsnip: no not yet [13:33] for the record, i'm trying to install x64. does that have something to do with it? [13:33] hi , I accidentally forced shutdown my UBUNTU. is there a program like windows'es UNIBLUE registry fixer (finds errors) that can fix my ubuntu [13:33] EmilemiL: shouldnt do [13:34] ubuntu's currently telling me to 'wait'... I screwed it up by pulling the plug accidentally [13:34] ActionParsnip: ok [13:34] actionparsnip? [13:34] viirus: what did use to perform the encryption? [13:34] sipior, luks [13:34] actionparsnip: is there a program that can fix errors in ubuntu [13:35] EmilemiL: as i said, my experience with ubuntu is limited, but out of the 5 pcs i tried to install ubuntu on, 3 needed to be installed with the alternate one [13:35] citrus212: depends what kind [13:36] is it possible to view the fs a device has? === Lup is now known as Lupine [13:36] file -s /dev/sdc* just indicates writable, no read permissions. Any other command to view the fs of a device? so i can mount it [13:37] viirus: i think you might be in serious trouble. best bet might be to peruse the dm-crypt mailing list archives (someone else has surely done the same thing already). i'm afraid i don't know what else to suggest. [13:37] i need to know if its ntfs, fat or ext3 [13:37] sipior, hm... ok :( [13:37] viirus: well, i'd suggest keeping backups next time, but i don't want to rub it in. harsh enough lesson already, i imagine. [13:37] sipior, already thought that im in trouble -.- [13:38] monostone: is there a registry fixer for ubuntu. mine has errors and i want to clean it (forceshutdown problems) [13:38] i just tried using gparted to resize my partitions but no success :( [13:38] sipior, the actually funny thing (well... i dont think its that funny but for others it surely is).... that i deleted a backup a few days ago because i thought ill never need it and the device wasnt encrypted -.- [13:39] it wont allow me to resize the linux partition [13:39] i used live cd this time [13:39] viirus: i heard a clever saying recently: "The Universe tends towards maximum irony." [13:39] sipior, :/ [13:40] i want to give the space that i freed from vista to the linux partition [13:40] sipior, ill check the backup harddrive... maybe theres something to save there [13:40] hi all. i am having issue trying to start dynamips on boot as a service or in rc.local. i have tried a service script i found which works fine when the server is up and i have tried starting it with rc.local. neither will start the service on boot, pls help, thx [13:40] viirus: might be a better bet, actually [13:40] but i couldnt as the option to resize isnt available to resize the linux extended partition [13:40] Hi, how could I set my locale back to POSIX ? [13:41] !locale [13:41] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [13:42] thx [13:42] Is POSIX a nice place to visit?

[14:34] vivek111585: for games you'll need Cedega, but that's not free; you have to buy it. [14:34] commonwarrior, you will need to get the version from virtualbox.org site [14:34] bazhang [14:34] i didi it [14:35] vivek111585: wine [14:35] but i have ubuntu and it doesnt work [14:35] canthus13: === bl4cksun is now known as hac [14:35] okay thanx but on each application i m getting same massage [14:35] I would be grateful if you would guide me to a program that fixes linux [14:35] citrus212, sounds like an opera issue [14:36] can u help me to make a good installation (usb devices included) of virtual box? i m becoming crazy [14:36] it did not screw linux up before I forced it to shutdown [14:36] Lartza_: i may be wrong, but why not use unrar instead of winrar on wine [14:36] ActionParsnip: Thanks, but that archive has a stupid problem. It says gzip: stdin: not in gzip format [14:36] tar: Child returned status 1 [14:36] tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors === hac is now known as bl4cksun [14:36] there isn't anything that fixes linux...is there.

[14:36] I'm trying to solve an issue with my display, i get weird duplicate windows like a trailing window until i stop dragging the window around any idea what the issue is? [14:36] avishek_: But for games wine, you are right about unrar [14:36] invalid name [14:36] can u help me to make a good installation (usb devices included) of virtual box? i m becoming crazy!!! [14:36] citrus212, its not a 'fix linux' issue [14:37] hey, i managed to fix it :) [14:37] hi folks. I'm on 8.10 ATM, on a (quit old) desktop that has 320 MB of RAM. This is the memory usage of firefox right after I started it: VIRT:217m RES:80m SHR: 20m - so it takes 25% of my memory with 3 tabs open, being a small webpage, the gmail login page and mythtv's web frontend. should I consider this normal memory use, or should I suspect some sort of memory leak? Mozilla.com recommends 128 MB or more for v3, which is what runs on this box [14:37] can u help me to make a good installation (usb devices included) of virtual box? i m becoming crazy!!! i use ubuntu 9.4 [14:37] commonwarrior, I think google can help you with that [14:37] lartza it is invalid name [14:37] laurisx: tar zxvf [14:37] google ? and not this irc channel? [14:37] commonwarrior, download from the virtualbox site [14:37] When you run wine? [14:38] what command tells me what display devices im using? [14:38] commonwarrior: bazhang already answered your question: Go to virtualbox.org and download the file from there. Their support channel is in #vbox [14:38] vivek111585: When exactly does that come? [14:38] bazhang: it is now. I ran linux fine previously, it and opera crashed [14:38] Uh, will Firefox 3.5 be default browser in Karmic? [14:38] ok [14:38] I suddenly lost sound, volwheel is a red cross and mixer says "No volume control Gstreamer plugin and/or device found", I am using openbox so no gnome menus [14:38] goodbye [14:38] opera was removed, it is fine now [14:38] but, will occasionally pause [14:38] commonwarrior: dual boot it will be solve your problem. [14:38] wlartza; when i run .exe file on wine [14:38] theadmin, yep; further karmic discussion in #ubuntu+1 [14:38] theadmin: yes but that can be changed [14:39] arand_: ok, I will take a look. Thanks again. [14:39] vivek111585: Sorry Ican't really help you with that [14:39] to hell with it. back to windows till you guys come up with a 'linux fixer' [14:39] dual what? never!!!! all the space that i have is for ubuntu [14:39] lartza, you are talking about about streaming video? of websites? [14:39] hello, some please help me about erro [14:39] linux fixer.... sounds exciting [14:39] Lartza_: I thought games would need the proprietary Cedega, which is based on Wine [14:40] what command can i use to display all display devices? [14:40] I can't get flash working in 64bit ubuntu. Wherever flash should be, it just shows a blank area. All I get is sound. What do I do?

If so, could someone please advise an absolute newbie on how to start out? [14:40] Yellerado: put the .so file in ~/.mozilla/plugins [14:40] commonwarrior: used gparted, virtualization just make headache if we don't ready. [14:40] ActionParsnip: I will try that [14:40] Yellerado: you will need to create the plugins directory [14:40] !it [14:40] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [14:40] mattfarrel what is it? [14:41] hello, someone please help me about canon MP145 printer, this is the problems: control panel was not responding, power indicator keep flashing. [14:41] ActionParsnip: It says that directory doesn't exist [14:41] I got some installation issues (alternate install cd), after I have set up the partitions, it loads some software, etc, and suddenly it comes up with "Insert disc "Ubuntu ----" and press enter"... It's weird though, cus its a complete install CD, and if I try to insert another ubuntu CD I still cannot hit continiue, nor can I choose the "Go back" option. I've tried with many different versions of ubuntu (other cd-s) with same result... Even [14:41] the beta acts like that. [14:41] hey room i have an ati 1300 and i have really bad artifcating on the rt hand sie [14:42] side* [14:42] ActionParsnip: I try to follow instructions in the VIA driver readme. I do "chmod +x autogen.sh". And then it says to do "chmod +x autogen.sh". But I end up with a message: "./autogen.sh: 11: autoreconf: not found". [14:42] commonwarrior: VM, Vbox and et all is not to be perfectly. [14:42] Tomatix, karmic support in #ubuntu+1 [14:42] bazhang, its not about the karmic, its about installing any cds. [14:43] its with the 8.10 , 9.04 and the beta. [14:43] Tomatix, thought you mentioned the beta, my mistake [14:43] laurisx: then you need to satisy it [14:43] do what? [14:43] ActionParsnip: I should probably note that this is opera [14:43] laurisx: i think the crome driver that comes with ubuntu may do you ok [14:43] Where do I get that? [14:43] oh dear oh dear. LTSP on Ubuntu anyone? [14:43] Yellerado: then put it in the opera plugins folder [14:44] Yellerado: you can run: sudo find / -name opera | grep plug to find the plugin folder === arand_ is now known as arand === BioSnor3 is now known as BioVorE [14:44] ûÈË˵»°Âð [14:45] avishek_: ? [14:45] Hello everyone I am planning on installing the 64 bit Ubuntu on a desktop here at work. What is the state of Ubuntu 64? (Primarily does it do Adobe Flash, Adobe PDF reader and Sun Java in particular . i am not interested in Gnash, Evince or Blackjack or whatever) [14:45] BrainYang, english here please [14:45] ActionParsnip: imo it doesn't require sudo <: [14:45] ActionParsnip: How do I find / use the Chrome driver you mentioned? [14:46] i have a graphics problem [14:46] phix: I was wondering about deploying an Ubuntu-base LTSP architecture on my office network.

[14:46] harisund: Just ask. [14:47] harisund, this is it [14:47] grawity, already did [14:47] vivek111585: the two accounts have different resolution settings [14:47] other then dmesg what can i use to view my display devices? [14:47] laurisx: the guid eI gave gives an xorg.conf snippet you can use. see how you go [14:47] im new to ubuntu and it some parts lock up on my system [14:47] ActionParsnip: It didn't find anything [14:47] DaZ: just stops the access denied errors, so the outputs are only file rather than files and errors. [14:47] grawity, bazhang I want to know the situation of Adobe Flash, Adobe PDF Reader and Sun Java on 64 bit Ubuntu .. are they readily in the repos? I am not interested in Gnash, Evince and the open source Java implementation [14:48] but i hav 2 chng dis setting each time when i start my computer [14:48] vivek111585: set both accounts to the same resolution settings System->Preferences->Display [14:48] So I have to install kubuntu on my home PC. Should I download 9.04 or wait for 9.10? [14:48] Yellerado: try /usr/lib/opera/plugins [14:48] ActionParsnip: I did memtest and checked cd for deffects, but no luck.. do you think i should download another live cd? Maybe both cd s i tried are faulty (they were both kepth in the same CDs folder) [14:48] i hav already done it [14:48] harisund: (Technically, the Sun Java _is_ open-source.) [14:48] ubunoob: Use 9.04, 9.10 is a month away from being complete [14:48] trancefat: not sure man, strange [14:48] DaZ: it will avoid a whole lot of error outs, though I normally use 2>/dev/null for it sudo might be quicker... [14:49] grawity, yeah but it appears lots of Linux users prefer not to use that for some reason [14:49] ActionParsnip: yes i agree.. thanks anyways for all your time... you ve helped me in the past as well :) [14:49] ActionParnsip: That worked [14:49] JacobT: can you be more specific? What did you do and then when does it lock up? [14:49] For some reason the folder is empty though [14:49] trancefat: i try [14:49] Yellerado: no worries, just copy or symlink the file [14:49] there are a few problems the first is if i go to install new applications tab and select a packag it will lock up and i have to kill it in system manager or terminal [14:50] that's strange vivek111585 [14:50] harisund: Well, Flash seems to be working. (but Flash works poor on Linux overall, no matter the arch.) === jmrodri-gone is now known as jmrodri [14:51] yeah [14:51] softwhere sources does the same thing [14:51] grawity, that's true .. I just want to make sure they are in the repos that's all :) [14:51] then if i have thunderbird open or a whole screen app thats a light color i get really back artifacting on my screeen [14:51] i hav reinstall graphic driver 2 solve dis [14:51] could someone please advise vivek111585? i am unable to answer his question [14:51] Anyone else getting system freezes with 9.10 beta? [14:52] hey all [14:52] harisund: I'm sure there's flashplugin-installer. (Many people just get it directly from Adobe; this is what -installer does too.) [14:52] JacobT: now we're getting somewhere. Are you impatient? The synaptic/software centre take time to load the list, take time to download, take time to install. In between all of these different stages, it's true the synaptic gui would lock up and you need to wait.

Or is it better to patiently wait for kubuntu 9.10 and then download that? [14:55] i don't think any flash player works fuly in linux for any distro i'v tried sues, fedora, and ubuntu [14:55] ubunoob, fairly easy with a net connection [14:55] ActionParsnip: That's what I did... [14:55] Yellerado_: theres a folder that opera hides its plugins, you need to drop the file in the folder [14:56] ActionParnsip: I did put the plugins into that folder [14:56] I'm desperate. For hours I'm trying a configuration of two machines with a matrix printer each, with cups, and one of the machines never can print to the remote printer. [14:56] ubunoob: either way.. just expect you'll make some mistakes and want to reinstall at some point.. usually you don't have to but ... :) [14:56] I don't know what is so wierd about cups [14:57] ActionParsnip: opera uses mozilla directory too, maybe it's architecture related? :f [14:57] where can i find a dummy mbox file? === BrainYang is now known as hellfire [14:57] like in 32bit plugin without the wrapper ;f [14:57] ActionParsnip: I did notice something odd.

[14:57] hm [14:57] ActionParnsip: Like I said earlier, yes. [14:57] JacobT: Your apt package state is corrupted. Do a search about how to clean your package state/cache. you will find an answer. [14:58] Yellerado_: theres currently no shockwave for Linux [14:58] I've had a lot of audio/flash issues with kubuntu 9.04 on my laptop. (Ex. flash player wont play music if amarok is playing music and stuff) Is this fixed in 9.10? [14:58] I simply need to print in a shared printer [14:58] Yellerado_: afaik [14:58] Yellerado_: what is the output of: uname -a [14:58] ActionParnsip: What I don't understand is that flash works perfectly fine on firefox, but not opera [14:58] lll [14:58] ActionParsnip: Linux Caesium 2.6.28-15-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 9 10:48:52 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux [14:58] Yellerado_: you just need to find out what folder the plugins live [14:58] Yellerado_: ok it is 64bit === omahn_ is now known as Omahn [14:59] JacobT: when installing the flash plugin, do click the show details button to see where the flash install script hangs....I recall something about a docs directory not existing causing an install problem.

[15:15] sjanssen: No, please use #ubuntu+1 [15:16] sjanssen: #ubuntu+1 would be more proper. [15:16] Where I can install Lamp on UBUNTU 9.04? [15:16] think they have a special area for that [15:16] Pici, grawity: thanks [15:16] something questions are very easy. why do not use google to search. [15:16] might wanna add that to the topic? [15:16] Topics have length limits, you know [15:16] okay [15:16] it's a waste of time [15:16] grawity: still, that one would actually be pretty useful [15:17] i want to use the new upcoming ubuntu is it posible to use old kernel and older xorg from 8,10 and have everything work right ? [15:17] grawity: especially this close to release... [15:17] more so than "jaunty 9.04 released", that's for sure [15:17] i need the old kernel and xorg for my ati drivers [15:18] twinie_addict, think you will just have to wait a bit [15:18] twinie_addict -> what are you after in the new ? [15:19] ext4 and updated apps but but the ability to have hardware exel on my ati x300 wich i have in 8.10 === ChanServ changed the topic of #ubuntu to: Official Ubuntu Support Channel | Channel Guidelines: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | FAQ: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ | Support options: http://www.ubuntu.com/support | IRC info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC | Pastes to http://paste.ubuntu.com | Install Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/download | Jaunty 9.04 Released | http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904 | Karmic Beta (9.10) Support in #ubuntu+1 [15:19] my system also won't open the software sources :( [15:20] JacobT, check the url paths [15:20] Hi all. I'm noticing that Ubuntu's ffmpeg doesn't support x264. Is there a package for ffmpeg that does, or am I building my own? [15:20] or try another server [15:20] hi all, when i create an icon shortcut for running terminal commands , irecive this error: There was an error creating the child process for this terminal [15:21] i receive* [15:21] brad_: building ffmpeg/x264 from subversion is the recommendation for everyone [15:21] run application in terminal [15:21] it won't even open it tries to then disapears i can't get that far haha [15:21] brad_: if you check out the source package, there should be some options you can pass that add the support [15:22] brad_: the source ubuntu package that is [15:22] JacobT, try a fresh install if its not that important [15:23] this was a fresh install i have nothing ellse installed yet :( [15:23] maybe things just did not go right!

[15:29] Hi, any C programmers in here that could help me with inline ASM in GCC? [15:29] darkneo: Best to ask in ##C [15:29] hi all.

[15:30] !netsplit [15:30] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [15:34] how can i turn the visual effects off in ubuntu remix ? [15:35] point, click, click, point, click, click, click [15:35] hi, everyone, I have a question that is not really ubuntu related, but I don't know where to ask, because I can't connect to freenode (that's the problem). I have a VPN connection here and it seems to refuse freenode... [15:35] How can i fin /dev file of perticular device [15:35] shortlord: hmmm well you are here now [15:35] shortlord: you are on freenode [15:35] shortlord: you're on freenode noqw [15:37] but I connected with Xchat to "Ubuntu Servers", which is irc.ubuntu.com/8001. That works. But connecting to irc.freenode.net/8001 does not work [15:37] shortlord: irc.ubuntu.com is a cname for irc.freenode.net [15:37] irc.ubuntu.com == chat.freenode.net, so they both should work. [15:38] Try using port 6667? [15:38] !freenode | shortlord [15:38] shortlord: freenode is Freenode is the IRC network that you're on! See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml. Freenode has policies that govern how people should use the network which can be read at http://freenode.net/policy.shtml. The ubuntu channels on Freenode also have their own !guidelines [15:38] shortlord: seems absurd, it's exactly the same hosts [15:38] shortlord: try chat.freenode.net/8001 [15:38] question. I just updated my VIA Artigo to 9.10 beta and the VT1708/A sound card disappears when I try to adjust the sound properties in gnome. Not a big deal except that sound also stops working once this happens. Anyone know where I can see the logs of what happened? [15:38] LjL: buddy!!! how's it going? [15:38] Anyone.... how can I install wireless drivers for my laptop??? I don't know what kind of I need. [15:38] phix, stop stalking me ok? [15:38] anyone know how to decrypt a password?

[15:39] LjL: <3 [15:39] basically what i mean is for say like, a user account or something, or like windows SAM file is what has all passwords of users encrypted, it can be decrypted. is it possible on linux? === kk is now known as Guest63614 [15:39] souler: that is not a reason to call ops [15:40] souler: and yet you knew about the !ops command? [15:40] LjL: How's the new Ubuntu coming along? [15:40] souler: only call !ops if there is an actual emergency in the channel that ops need to deal with please [15:40] phix: i haven't the slighest idea. [15:40] phix: and i'd rather stay on topic. [15:40] LjL, some one used it yesterday when I was asking for help on other topics. [15:40] it worked with chat.freenode.net/8001 thx a lot [15:40] ah ok, you just moderate this channel hey [15:40] LjL: Ubuntu isn't within topic? [15:40] phix, in other words - LEAVE ME ALONE [15:40] ah ok [15:40] carry on then [15:41] shortlord: with irc.freenode.net the port is 6667 or something similar.. [15:41] so, who needs Ubuntu help? [15:41] i need :) [15:41] downstar: technically, the passwords are hashed, not encrypted. that turns out to be an important distinction. reversing a hash is not generally feasible in a reasonable amount of time (else it wouldn't be very useful) [15:41] How can i find /dev file of perticular device [15:42] phix, how come theres keyboard error through vnc and NOT on ubuntu pc? [15:42] please any one reply [15:42] scunizi: Freenode has a few alternate ports for those users who cannot use :6667. === lianimator1 is now known as lianimator [15:42] maco, then what is the reason to call them? If no one else is helping me. [15:42] i have Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture [15:42] locklace:modinfo bt878 showing driver exist [15:42] then which is its /dev file? [15:42] grawity: understood.. the only other one I knew is 8001 on chat.freenode.net [15:42] sipior: well i know one of my college professors was able to decrypt/hash a sam file for me to get a username pw for a laptop i had found. im curios how to do that, and if its doable on linux. [15:42] downstar: password crackers rely on hashing a large number of entries, and comparing those with a password list. this is obviously not terribly efficient, hence the recommendations for selecting a good password (i.e., one that will take a cracker a long time to get to) [15:42] skype wont work on ubuntu 9.04 it casues my system to crash can anyone here advise me??????? [15:43] downstar: Windows' SAM? [15:43] grawity: yes [15:43] souler: when someone shows up spamming the channel or swearing or posting links to inappropriate images and needs to be banned, THAT is when ops are called [15:43] sipior: since hashing is a one way function it would be impossible to get the original password from it. It would be possible to find another password that hashes to the same value, although a good hashing function reduces the chances of this [15:43] downstar: Windows uses MD4, and there are ways to brute-force it really quickly. (Rainbow tables, using graphic cards to do the math, etc.) [15:43] downstar: you can't decrypt a hash, that makes no sense [15:43] how do I search apt to find the package that provides libtermcap.so.2? [15:43] downstar: But to reverse it is impossible. (At least now.) [15:43] phix: i think i just said that. [15:44] sipior: you did, after I started typing :P [15:44] mbeierl: use apt-file or packages.ubuntu.com [15:44] mbeierl: install apt-file, run sudo apt-file update then: apt-file search libtermcap.so.2 [15:44] downstar: is called a one-way hash for a reason. you can keep trying to strings over and over til you find one that hashes the same [15:44] scunizi: there are a few: http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml [15:44] downstar: thats called password cracking === rsc____ is now known as rsc___ [15:44] downstar: Most Linux distros support several hash types, and all of them use some kind of a salt, so it's a "little" harder to do that. (There are programs such as John the Ripper though.) [15:44] Pici: jrlb: thanks! [15:44] :) [15:45] skype wont work on ubuntu 9.04 it casues my system to crash can anyone here advise me??????? please [15:45] phix do you know off my problem? [15:45] Memphisto: no sorry [15:45] ok :) [15:45] need to be able to ldap auth at sign in Ubuntu 9.04. Any ideas [15:45] how wud i go about compiling it if the fersion they have on the skype site wont work [15:46] simon__: skype is closed source [15:46] toall: i didnt mean decrypt a hash, i meant whatever it is to reverse it. (dont know the tech term) i know there are password crackers, but i mean. say theres was a dual-boot vista/ubuntu laptop. dont know pw's to either of them, but you cdboot to a linux distro, any will do. and copy the vistas sam file to a flash drive. how would you then decrypt/reverse hash or w.e its called, to get the pw you need for the useraccount? [15:46] downstar: So. _WHY_ do you need to do that? [15:46] i know but i need it cus my friends use the dam thing [15:46] downstar: that makes no sense [15:46] My /boot/grub/menu.lst has several entries that are seemingly the same, with the exception of the modifiers "quiet" and "splash" in them... can I delete the recurrences, or should I just comment them out? [15:47] they have a dynamic version what is this?? [15:47] grawity: i dont need to, but my teacher had to do it for me. im curious how he did it :P [15:47] downstar: you're still not making sense but this isn't on-topic at all anyway [15:47] Which is the best SOCKS5 proxy server to use? [15:47] downstar: ask your teacher [15:47] i did, he wont tell me lol. [15:47] mrichman: "socks5" is the most common one I've used (ut's called socks5) it's a little old though and not maintained as well as it was [15:47] downstar: There are several tools to brute-force the hashes Windows uses. (0phcrack, also some Elcomsoft thing if I remember correctly) [15:48] but how am i not making sense :S? tell what doesnt make sense, and ill try to reword it. [15:48] although crypt() uses a form of DSA doesn't it? [15:48] ikonia: i just need something light to put on my VPS so my wife can use it to hit Facebook from work lol [15:48] phix: Only if you ask it to. (I think it defaults to SHA1 now.) [15:48] hello, is it possible to have multiple instance of dokuwiki to run by a single installation from an ubuntu package? 2 different wiki sites from a single installation [15:48] cud i try the debian version instead of the ubuntu version?? [15:48] downstar: take it elsewhere please, this has nothing to do with ubuntu [15:48] downstar: But my preferred way is to _change_ the password. [15:48] afik ophcrack is commonly used to crack windows hashes [15:48] grawity: nice, I use MD5 still :S :) [15:48] mrichman: don't use socks5 for that, just use a standard proxy like squid [15:48] jrib: actually, if i use ubuntu to get the password of windows, it has quite alot to do with ubuntu [15:48] phix: /etc/pam.d/common-password has the hash setting. [15:48] ikonia: squid can do SOCKS5 with authentication? [15:48] downstar: no, it doesn't. [15:48] Urg. Seems that libtermcap.so.2 is not provided by anyone :( === administrator is now known as Guest99528 [15:49] downstar: Not really. It does have something to do with Linux in general, but not with Ubuntu. [15:49] mrichman: no, but I don't understand why you want a socks proxy rather than a http proxy for facebook [15:49] ikonia: she also uses AIM, so I figured SOCKS vs. HTTP [15:49] grawity: yup, so does /etc/pam_ldap.conf [15:49] Can one establish a wireless connection before signin? [15:49] mrichman: How about using a SSH tunnel instead? [15:49] I lost the wireless icon after uninstalling wicd, how can I restore it? [15:50] mrichman: well, the one I've used the most is "socks5" [15:50] well even still. you guys dont have to answer, not like its required. but if someone responds, obviously it isnt minded being conversed about. [15:50] downstar you had an answer; ophcrack. I'd stop asking about it now [15:50] grawity: my wife wont be able to set up ssh on her end [15:50] mrichman: ssh -fND 1080 your-remote-server.com, and there you have a SOCKS proxy on localhost:1080 [15:50] mrichman: sudo apt-get install ssh # ? [15:50] i have installed ubuntu 9, when i make a call on skype i can here other person voice but he cant here me what should i do [15:50] mrichman: apt-get install openssh-server [15:50] Guest99528: turn your microphone on or unmute it [15:50] grawity: ssh is a virtual package for that [15:51] grawity: i run that on my server? what does she use as her proxy IP? [15:51] how i turn on my mic [15:51] Guest99528: sudo alsamixer [15:51] wud i have installed 64 bit ubuntu by mistake how do i check this [15:51] I lost the wireless connection icon after uninstalling wicd, how can I restore it? [15:51] m [15:51] mrichman: 1) You install openssh-server on your server. (I think it's already installed.) [15:52] My /boot/grub/menu.lst has several entries that are seemingly the same, with the exception of the modifiers "quiet" and "splash" in them... can I delete the recurrences, or should I just comment them out? [15:52] grawity: not by default [15:52] phix: Well, he said "server". What server doesn't come with ssh? [15:52] grawity: yes openssh-server is already running [15:52] grawity: ubuntu [15:52] phix: Ubuntu Server does, AFAIK. [15:52] ah [15:52] server has open-ssh installed by default [15:52] mrichman: 2) You configure a user account for your wife. [15:53] er openssh-server I meant [15:53] mrichman: 2) Your wife runs ssh -fND 1080 your-server-address, and then uses localhost:1080 for the proxy address. === adam is now known as Guest90409 [15:53] ZoeyMarie: Probably not, would you mind pastebinning it? [15:53] hey guys is there a test that i can run to see my disk access speeds and wirte speeds [15:53] its opened alsamixer so how turn on mic [15:53] Doonz: use hdparm [15:53] arand, sure, one sec [15:54] WHAT THE HELL [15:54] I've done everything now, up to and including /restarting the kernel/ and I /still/ can't click in windows!? [15:54] grawity: my wife won't know how to run ssh...she can only use a browser [15:54] Damnit you piece of gnome poo, work! [15:55] what is a good unix tape backup system comprable to symantec backup exec [15:55] Keiya: lol, what are you trying to do? you cant click in windows? did you try /etc/init.d/gdm restart? [15:56] downstar: Yes. [15:56] I did try that [15:56] Knoxville: amanda used to be the standard: http://www.amanda.org. been a while, though, not sure how it stacks up anymore. [15:56] What I'm trying to do is use a widget in a window on my gnome desktop [15:56] What happens is when I click on the window, it tries to move it [15:57] So I can't use widgets in windows except via keyboard [15:57] Keiya_: hmm, dpkg-reconfigure metacity? (compiz?) [15:58] meta... oh god... I think I figured out what happened... >_< [15:58] does anyone know where gnome-network-properties saves it profiles? [15:58] arand: http://pastebin.com/m76154df6 [15:58] Keiya_: hmm, I think you can disregard what I said, I presumed NO windows where working... [15:59] I installed sugar from a ppa, and I think it pulled an 'upgrade' to metacity with it [15:59] Is there someone knowing how to install a device driver [15:59] sam1: build the module, install it, run it. [16:00] Keiya: so try uninstalling the ppa, and reinstall it? [16:00] downstar: _it_? [16:00] Oh, metacity? [16:00] Keiya: sugar** sorry. lack of sleep :/ [16:01] Keiya: yea jsut undo what u did, uninstall the sugar from the ppa, and then reinstall it from a different source that maybe doesnt upgrade your meta. [16:01] downstar: But that wouldn't 'downgrade' metacity :/ [16:02] rsk:can i download module [16:02] Keiya: oh. =[ can you uninstall metacity? [16:02] wha [16:02] t [16:02] Keiya: and then reinstall it? [16:02] Hmm... I'd have to do it from a 'real' terminal, probably... but I should be able to do so. [16:02] hii [16:02] Unless apt has idiotproofing [16:03] Keiya: try that =]. sorry if my terms arent technical somewhat new to linux. :S [16:03] how to install yahoo messenger in ubuntu [16:03] ??? [16:03] hacker: use pidgin/ [16:03] pidgin not support webcam [16:03] Keiya_: you can find out with "apt-cache policy metacity" [16:04] hacker: is there a upgrade or package you can install that does? [16:04] question on a non-JB phone. does /bin/bash, etc exist without the jailbreak? couldn't someone load an app that provides ssh? [16:04] bah [16:04] Keiya_: and it is possible to say "apt-get install metacity=1.2" or whatever version you want (i think thats the syntax. check man apt-get) [16:04] Wanderer: You want ##iphone, not #ubuntu [16:04] downstar: Pidgin has never supported webcams for Yahoo. They only added XMPP audio/video in 2.6, Yahoo is coming later. [16:04] downstar: kopete does [16:04] ahh, didnt know that =p. [16:04] Pici: yeah, just had the wrong window [16:04] rsk: how build a modulw [16:05] i will do this [16:05] maco: that's the correct syntax [16:05] !version [16:05] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [16:05] how can I restore the wireless connection icon. I know is something like alt+2 and I need to type something... [16:05] how can i know if my vestion of 8.10 is server version? [16:06] if i search something in vim, all instances of that search pattern turn yellow. How do i turn it back to normal? [16:06] dwarder: lsb_release -a [16:06] dwarder: well are you running the server kernel? [16:06] fornix: it only turns yellow cause thats what your searching, it doesnt stay like that. [16:07] i use sudo apt-get check but nothing is display [16:07] downstar, after that, when i go back to insert mode for editing, it stays yellow :( [16:07] how can I restore the wireless connection icon?. I know is something like alt+F2 and I need to type something... [16:07] downstar: http://pastebin.com/m139cc931 [16:08] user01, killall gnome-panel [16:08] user01: nm-applet... [16:08] fornix: do you have a search box at the bottom that still displays what you were searching for? [16:08] BlackFate, thanks [16:08] ZoeyMarie: Well, you have three versions of the kernel there, and two entries for each version, which i normal (although the second entry (for each one) usually contains the "single" parameter, and "(Recovery Mode)" in their title; so that's a bit strange). If you do want to remove them I'd recommend uninstalling the old kernel packages, which will automatically update that file and remove the old entries... [16:08] downstar: so it is not server version, right? [16:08] how find device node of keyboard [16:08] downstar, no. bottom says insert. i am using vim. not gvim to get a box. [16:08] sam1: /dev/input/* [16:09] downstar, i search with /search_pattern [16:09] .... [16:09] dwarder: i think you have the wrong person [16:09] jrib, but do you know what is the name of the applet? [16:09] user01: nm-applet... [16:09] it's something you run [16:09] hey anyone running 9.04 on an asus laptop [16:09] downstar, as a workaround, i search for some gibberish text like lkjsdlkjslkdjfklj and it then says no pattern found and all my previous searched items are restored back to normal :) I bet there has to be a cleaner way [16:10] how can i know if my vestion of 8.10 is server version? [16:10] dwarder: did you try what I told you before? [16:10] jrib: how can i know? [16:10] heeeEEElllllllOOOooo :-) guys [16:10] dwarder: are you running the server version ? do you have gui (none is installed by defaut with the server CD ) [16:10] aha, im not sure honestly. [16:10] dwarder: well are you running the server kernel? [16:10] arand, how can I remove the old kernals? is that through synaptic? [16:10] BlackFate, it didnt work. The icon dissapeared after I uninstalled wicd. Any idea on how to restore it? [16:11] dwarder: why do you want the answer to this question anyway? [16:11] jrib: how can i know that i'm runing server kernel? [16:11] dwarder: s/server version/server kernel version/ [16:11] user01, reinstall network manager from synaptic [16:11] ZoeyMarie: yes with synaptic [16:11] dwarder: uname -a [16:11] has anyone successfully installed ubuntu on a Sun T5440 with SAS drives?

I have tried PPA but after updating apt there is no nightly package available!

Therefore, I broke it somehow. Is there any setup capability? [16:28] anyone with vps name here ? [16:28] :) [16:28] roffe: i do not think they pay anything... they just crosslicense all patent stuff [16:28] gconf-sanity-check-2 status 256 [16:28] dwarder: What do you mean by "vps name"?

[16:32] hi all [16:32] Zzeiss: hey` problem is we do not know how the drivers where installed in the first place and we go around intalling ramdom stuff we can mess things more than they are now [16:32] guys, I can use this command "nvidia-settings" and it says I'm not using nvdia X driver [16:33] is there any1 familiar with installing php-extensions via PECL ?

[16:33] jeez [16:33] hey`: yes; as i said we need to know how you (or whoever did it) installed the nvidia drivers [16:33] Does anyone know of a way to make OpenSSH require BOTH a password and a pub/priv keypair for login? [16:34] ab2qik: sorry never encounter that error before... have you googled it ? [16:34] erUSUL, i made a change by adding an lv device to /tmp [16:34] Matir`: use a pub/priv keypair with passphrase [16:34] Matir`: I don't think OpenSSH can do that. (I do know that the SSH protocol allows it, but sshd hackage/recompiling will probably be required.) [16:34] How can I output a webpage to the terminal? (i.e. "cat http://google.com" [16:34] BassKozz: curl http://google.com [16:34] erUSUL: that doesn't pass the passphrase on to PAM [16:34] grawity: [16:34] BassKozz: Or wget -qO- [16:34] erUSUL, yes did google it. It said chmod 1777 /tmp will fix it [16:34] grawity: that's a shame, but thanks [16:35] BassKozz: wget www.google.com -O - [16:35] Matir`: Why do you need that, anyway? [16:35] ab2qik: tried ? [16:35] Matir`: no [16:35] erUSUL, before i do that i thought i could get 2nd opinion here [16:35] grawity: Thanks [16:35] erUSUL: Thanks [16:35] grawity: to decrypt my home dir, PAM needs the password [16:35] look what it says erusul, when I do a "nvidia-settings": You do not appear to be using the nvidia X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root) and restart the X server. [16:35] Matir`: Then just use password auth instead of pubkey?

So why would t [16:36] ok I'm going to do that. [16:36] pastebin [16:36] erUSUL, so why is there a 4th number in chmod 1777 used [16:36] occy: I see nothing wrong with that... [16:36] ab2qik: Technically, it is a single big number. (In octal.) 777 would be equal to 0777. [16:36] hey`: i asked you two pices of info you provided none. i still do not know how the driver was installed nor i could see the X server error log... i can not help without info [16:37] ab2qik: is the sticky bit iirc [16:37] arand: aside from the unrecognized option --restore-image [16:37] Can I use Project Neon in *Ubuntu* Intrepid (8.10)? I have tried PPA but after updating apt there is no nightly package available! [16:38] erusul, sorry I know I'm just bein a troll. But would you send me the location of the file again? I just stupidily cleared the screen.

[16:39] occy: that also looks like it should work... [16:39] ivonnemoy: It sounds like you're trying to install it through Wubi? [16:39] arand: I don't have ntfsclone I don't think is that a probgra? [16:39] Yes. [16:39] program [16:39] ivonnemoy: Wubi can go bad on people [16:39] ivonnemoy: May I suggest just installing it to a separate partition? (The latest release makes it very easy.) [16:40] occy: it comes in the ntfs-progs package [16:40] heh yeah I think tha'ts what I was missing [16:40] sebsebseb: believe KDE nightly builds are. [16:40] grawity: I've read that all I have to do is put the iso in the same dir as wubi. How would I do that first before trying to install the latest version? [16:40] hmm [16:40] occy: does "ntfsclone --help" work? [16:40] mee_: oh KDE something ok uhmm try #kubuntu then, this channel is mainly for Ubuntu/Gnome [16:41] sebsebseb: But not necessarily. [16:41] I'm using jaunty and I've set my keyboard layout to dvorak. It keeps randomly switching back to qwerty. Any ideas? [16:41] ivonnemoy: Installing Ubuntu through Wubi is not very recommended - it sometimes leads to unstable systems. Still, you need to go to Ubuntu's website, and download the .iso. [16:41] grawity: yep sometimes Xubuntu support might be done in here for example [16:41] good morning, anyone know how to enable the touchscreen on a fujitsu lifebook in 9.04 [16:41] cat --restore-image [16:42] Okay, then I'll take your earlier advice and download Koala then? [16:42] ivonnemoy: Once you download it, either burn it to a CD and install "the right way", OR put it to the same folder as wubi.exe [16:42] grawity: you adviced ivonnemoy to download Karmic??? before it's even released [16:42] sebsebseb: I didn't -_- [16:43] hey, how do I stop dhcpd giving an address to a specific hardware address? [16:43] I guessed Koala would be the latest version? No? [16:43] ivonnemoy: Karmic Kaola is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, and the final isn't released yet that will be October 29th [16:43] ivonnemoy: Karmic Koala is the latest, but it hasn't been released yet. (It will be this month.) [16:43] ivonnemoy: Jaunty is the latest stable version [16:43] stable like charles manson [16:44] Okay, so, my question is, how do I download Jaunty on a separate partition without using Wubi? [16:44] erusul: http://paste.ubuntu.com/287066/ [16:44] occy: I think you might want to skip the -o parameter there, or possibly use -O (probably unnecessary) [16:44] ivonnemoy: Download the ISO and install it using the Live CD === mquin_ is now known as mquin [16:44] ivonnemoy: Download the .iso, burn to a CD (using ImgBurn or Nero or whatever), boot from the CD, choose "install", then pick the "side by side" option. [16:45] poweriso works nicely for that [16:45] So Ubuntu can't really be fit into a 512MB disk anymore, with GDM. [16:45] That's a bummer. [16:45] Can I just mount the image instead using a free program? (no cds :( ) [16:45] ivonnemoy: got a flash drive? [16:45] wasabi_: When did it ever fit 512?

[16:46] ivonnemoy: Ubuntu can be installed from one, but also run from one [16:46] nat2610_: Open Pidgin's settings, and look for "Show notification icon" option. [16:46] !liveusb | ivonnemoy [16:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about liveusb [16:46] !usb | ivonnemoy [16:46] ivonnemoy: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [16:46] basically it is little more than gdm, plus a login script that connects to rdesktop. [16:46] It's all too big now [16:46] Goes about 90MB over. =( [16:47] wasabi_: For such simple uses, get an equally simple distro. [16:47] A properly built ubuntu would be equally simple. === six is now known as Guest86103 [16:47] wasabi_: get tinycore ;) [16:47] on NVidia x server after savin configuration it write me down Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'. Is there any tip how should i fix it and don't have to set configuration every boot? [16:47] Since everything would be in packages that could be removed. ;) [16:47] grawity, found it thanks ...

[16:48] damn small linux was [16:49] wasabi_: there's always ubuntu-minimal.. [16:49] GDM brings in too much now, as does X. [16:49] ubuntu-minimal and fluxbox [16:49] It's no big deal, I'll just go grab a slightly larger CF disk [16:49] Was just a bit disappointed. [16:49] Do you _need_ GDM?

(click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [17:46] i tried adding using the xorg but it doesnt work [17:46] mee_: no, it's not any package systems fault, it's the fault that you are using something outside of apt-get annd then run a upgrade that changes how things work. [17:46] mee_: and the library hasn't changed to fit with the upgrade. [17:47] mee_: you can only blaim this on not doing things the right way.

[18:09] hello [18:09] suseanders -> i dont know what dd_rescue script do [18:10] n8tuser, as far as I know, dd_rescue ignores drive errors and continues with the wipe/fill.

[18:48] !wubi [18:48] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [18:48] any idea anyone? [18:48] i every half hour having a dimming flash over the screen - why? [18:48] McHavok, [18:48] ? [18:48] (also, after failing to install it the dialogue box claims it's installed) [18:48] Ali, try to uninstall gstreamer [18:48] And then install it back. [18:49] tried installing ubuntu with wubi on a windows 7 installation - but i get the try (hd0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr error and google-searches got me nowhere [18:49] McHavok, real player doesnt even open it - it just hangs [18:49] otoh the java plugin seems to be installing fine [18:49] how can I make archive manager to support 7zip files? [18:49] Ok Ali, open synaptic, find gstreamer and mark for uninstall [18:49] This might not be the right chatroom, but I figured someone would know: Why is the term "SCSI" applied so often with drives on Linux? SCSI this, SCSI, that. Even in /dev/disk/by-id, they are listed as SCSI drives. I have never seen a SCSI drive in a personal computer, ever. Only SATA (and years ago, PATA.) So why is the term SCSI used so often? "Actual" SCSI drives seem hard to find in the market. [18:50] huwaw69: install the p7zip package [18:50] McHavok, even though all other files work on it? [18:50] i cant boot into ubuntu in graphics mode i get an error says something about error trying to start x server to see logs and then restart gdm, right now im on live USB what should i do to fix it? [18:50] Pici, will archive manager automatically starts when I extract 7zip files? [18:51] McHavok, there r loads of gstreamers installed [18:51] huwaw69: That will add the ability to extract 7zip files with file-roller, the default ubuntu archive program. [18:51] Ali, i'm trygin to find another way. [18:51] Wait me for a second please. [18:51] ok thanks McHavok - much appreciated [18:51] huwaw69, File Roller supports uncompressing and compressing .7z files after installing the p7zip package, I believe. [18:51] This is my first time in here :$ [18:51] huwaw69, after installing the package, you do not need to do anything extra, other than use the Archive Manager (in my case File Roller) as you normally would.

You can also set custom shortcuts in System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts. [19:04] Ali, that brings up a "Run Applivation" dialogue box [19:04] guys please help me, my ubuntu after a software update it's not recognizing my graphic card, and it shows a screen resolution that doesn't fits, it's too big and imposible to work on.

[19:06] fallingol, what's the command for terminal? [19:06] lol McHavok - i know that - but the one in the rep isn't working :) [19:06] can someone help me out with a fakeraid setup and grub? im having trouble installing grub to be exact. [19:07] I'm using the medibuntu repository [19:07] I am trying to set up a server to use my static comcast ip. I am really confused as to what the broadcase and network ips should be.

Exaile has a little plugin called icestreamer so I can stream to icecast and shoutcast servers. However, it requires libshout2 and shout-python libraries. Neither of those packages exist anymore. WHat do I do? [19:09] I have libshout3 installed, but apparently that's not good enough for the plugin. [19:09] anyone got any recommendations for music players?

[19:10] tsrk_: sometimes [19:10] joining [19:10] Right click on the package >> properties. [19:10] hold on McHavok - mine says 8104kb!! why the diff? [19:10] tsrk_: Or versions in that series, anyway, what's your actsaul question? [19:10] I dont get keyboard shortcuts [19:11] 400 KB :P [19:11] where do you enter the key combination [19:11] What it's the version? [19:11] !who [19:11] 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 :) [19:11] ZykoticK9, if you updated to the latest version from the VirtualBox repos, did you get a configuration option during the update? If so, what was it? I got one, but it grabbed focus and selected the default option without giving me a chance to see what it was. [19:11] 11.0.0-0.3medibuntu2 McHavok [19:11] The same I have. [19:11] That's weird. [19:11] is anyone familiar with booting ubuntu from a flash drive? [19:12] i know where i can find the page [19:12] !ask | ivonnemoy [19:12] ivonnemoy: 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. :-) [19:12] tsrk_, I take it you must have upgraded from VBox 2.x? I don't remember getting any configuration options sorry man... [19:12] McHavok, ok now what?! :) [19:13] anyone in this channel: where do you type the keyboard combinations in "Keyboard Shortcuts"? [19:13] ZykoticK9, no, just the latest update (from 3.0.x to 3.0.x) [19:13] tsrk_, hold on - sudo apt-get update -- now i have a vbox update to do - hold on i'll check [19:13] tsrk_: If you're asking about the non-ose version of vbox, its probably best to ask in their official support channel: #vbox [19:13] ZykoticK9, ok, thanks [19:13] bucky: that is not working [19:13] the question is, is there anyone familiar with booting ubunto with a flash drive? because if there is, i'll need more help than the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick page, as it isn't very helpful with the technological terminology overwhelming me [19:14] just installed ubuntu in a vmwrae (virutalBox) installed the additional addons.. and now getting an issue where it cant boot giving a gui [19:14] hello, everybody. i'm trying to build an initramfs on 8.10, but i don't have /etc/mkinitramfs, even though i have initramfs-tools installed. anybody know what to do? [19:15] Just a second, Ali, my ISP is giving me a hard day today -.- [19:16] Guest5811, next time you boot in set it in System=>Preferences=>Display and that should make it permanent [19:16] (more than usual) [19:16] Hello here to speak english or italian? [19:16] is any linux distro more secure than other? [19:17] blendmaster1024, do you have a /etc/initramfs-tools/ ? [19:17] yes, bucky [19:17] buntu: yes, but if you ask for it, it don't matter [19:17] tsrk_, didn't get any configuration options / or any prompts/info at all??? [19:18] ZykoticK9, oh, weird.... i wonder what mine was then.... [19:18] leaving...thankx [19:18] buntu, OpenBSD (which is not a linux at all) is probably the most secure OS out there - they went years without a remote access bug -- just an FYI [19:19] windows is crap [19:19] anyone in here knowledgeable about xorg? [19:19] Is it possible to read data form eg. tty1 while beeing on tty2 ? === Russian_ is now known as Russian [19:19] Setting up a static IP requires a broadcast IP and Network IP. Neither of which I am familiar with. Can anyone help me figure out what they should be. I know my static ip, mask, and gateway [19:20] tried installing ubuntu with wubi on a windows 7 installation - but i get the try (hd0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr error and google-searches got me nowhere [19:20] anyone know what could be wrong? [19:21] ssboisen: tried installing it under virtualbox? [19:21] ssboisen: that would be because it's win7, and nobody's had time to make FOSS work with that yet [19:21] maestrojed, the broadcast IP is x.x.x.255 (what ever your internal network is - ie i'm on a 192 network so mine is 192.168.1.255) hope that helps a little [19:22] bucky: so... how do i get the /etc/mkinitramfs that all the guides mention? [19:22] I need help with configuring X11, can anyone help me? [19:22] Does anyone have experience with Clonezilla? === blendmaster1024 is now known as humor1024 [19:23] blendmaster1024, it's been replaced with /etc/initramfs-tools/ you need a newer guide preferable a jaunty one [19:23] ZykoticK9: Comcast's static IP is so different then anything else I have set up. They say/expect the machine to use the static IP they assign you. Your modem expects that ip. But this means my IPs are not local. i.e. IP = 174.7.214.37 gateway = 174.7.214.38 mask = 255.255.255.252. Do you think broadcast would be 174.7.214.255? [19:24] BrownTI, I use it - what is your question (if it isn't an easy one I probably won't know) [19:24] maestrojed, I'd think so [19:25] ZykoticK9: worth a try, brb [19:25] has anyone here bought a computer from system76? I need to know if they are reliable etc [19:25] :) How do I get it to backup the mbr as well as the partition? [19:25] weebit: system76 are known to be good [19:25] BrownTI, i have no idea... sorry. [19:26] BrownTI, are you sure it doesn't backup the mbr? [19:26] weebit: there's also zareason and Dell for pre installed Ubuntu [19:26] yes but I just did the default backup [19:26] sebsebseb: Thank you I get my computer from them in January as long as the sky doesn't fall :) [19:26] Is it possible to read data form eg. tty1 while beeing on tty2 ? [19:27] zareason? I never heard of them before [19:27] :) [19:28] weebit: ok [19:28] Hi people, my Ati radeon 9200 isn't detected by Ubuntu, any solution? [19:28] warai: system > administration > hardware drivers anything available? did you install anything? [19:28] Do they have a room focused on Clonezilla? Anyone know? I just want to learn how to backup the mbr as well as the partition, because when I restore it still has the corrupt mbr and it does not overwrite with the good one. [19:28] !ati | warai [19:28] warai: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [19:28] sebsebseb: I tried this actually, nothing was shown [19:29] warai: ATI cards are known to have problems on Ubuntu [19:29] I should use the binary installer maybe?

You have to backup the data, then blow away the filesystem, create the new filesystem, then restore the data. [20:09] i wanna execute a script but in this script there's a command with sudo (super user) and that is not beeing able to be applied cause it must ask the password and i don't remember how to make script that pass super user commands so we can launch those script on the startup [20:09] hi, please help me for update firefox 3.0.14 [20:09] oh shit, uSbuntu just formated itself...

[21:49] i can change it to 2.66 === ubuntu is now known as _dan [21:49] after changing my pw [21:50] gdoteof: that's freaky, i've no idea [21:50] Blackbird: I guess you need w32codecs as well [21:50] gdoteof: maybe it's a power management thing [21:50] !medibuntu | Blackbird [21:50] Blackbird: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [21:50] hi, can i make and save an image of a currently running partition? with Rsync, Partimage, or something else? or do i need to do it from another operating system? [21:50] sebsebseb: That's in ubuntu-restricted-extras. [21:50] <_dan> so i got through the whole live cd installer [21:50] <_dan> and then it decided to tell me it can't install grub [21:50] hi, whenever i have qsynth and vmpk launched i can't have sounds for other softwares in my computer; can i fix that? [21:50] <_dan> at 94% complete [21:50] Blackbird: oh ok well mplayer can play nearly anything [21:50] so how to solve this prob [21:50] :))):)T0131kla >>> www.seslibitanem.com T0131kLA :))):))):)T0131kla >>> www.seslibitanem.com T0131kLA :))):))):)T0131kla >>> www.seslibitanem.com T0131kLA :))) [21:51] sebsebseb: So the problem is exaile? [21:51] Blackbird: no [21:51] or probably not [21:51] Hello, when i highlight the partition I want to install ubuntu in, I gon an error telling that I haven't identified the root file, what does that mean? [21:51] Blackbird: the problem is probably codecs [21:51] ...wait. [21:51] Flannel: how can you be so fast? but thx [21:51] I have to install plugins. [21:52] *facepalm* [21:52] I have had a long-running issue with compiz not always starting in the right order, causing my gnome session to load without the proper WM decorations. I was hoping this would be fixed in 9.10, but I have the same issue in 9.10 beta. Is there a fix for this? [21:52] I believe there is one for exaile. [21:52] guntbert: Operators are ninjas [21:52] Blackbird: ubuntu-restricted-extras takes care of most stuff [21:52] Flannel: heh [21:52] gdoteof: looks like it's cpu frequency scaling. apparently it's meant to manage the cpu frequency automatically according to demand [21:52] if anyone is using kvm on a x86_64 host, any clues on why i may not be able to specify a x86_64 guest o a machine running 9.04 x86_64 dual xeon 5110 procs [21:52] Flannel: :) [21:52] gdoteof: so maybe if you leave it alone it'll change when you need the extra oomph [21:53] hi. i'm watching a movie, all dialog stuff is pretty silent, when it comes to action it gets very loud, cant find a way to a) understand dialogs and b) dont disturb my neighbours. is there any solution for that in linux? [21:53] njbair: Ask in #compiz [21:53] Blackbird: ok this might be useful for you, and then again it might not be at all [21:53] sebsebseb: I'll get mplayer and see if it plays. If not...what would be the problem? [21:53] !codecs | Blackbird [21:53] Blackbird: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [21:53] nibbler_: what media player are you using? I seem to remember vlc (and probably others) having plugins to [21:53] equalize' volume [21:54] suffe: right now totem, but i dont care, if another player can handle this better... i'll try vnc [21:54] suffe: vlc [21:54] nibbler_: at least have a look. I can't guarantee it [21:54] hi [21:54] nibbler_: you tried headphones? or subtitles? [21:54] soreau: This is actually a problem with ubuntu, since session properties no longer provides a facility to specify a run order for startup applications. === heaven is now known as Guest32703 [21:54] t [21:55] njbair: You said 'it' wasn't loading the right decorations [21:55] frogfoo: got mplayer -a52drc - will try this ;-) [21:55] ubuntu is not loading compiz in the right order [21:55] njbair: What do you mean by that? === flipp_ is now known as flipp [21:56] Blackbird: Are you sure that w32codecs is part of restricted extras? [21:56] sebsebseb: I was looking at the terminal the whole time. I'm sure it was somewhere in there. [21:56] soreau: by what? [21:56] Blackbird: I have a feeling that it isn't [21:56] uday: if you are still working on it, seems some luck might be had (though drastic path) if you remove pulseaudio and pick something else instead of it. I'd try other things first though [21:56] sebsebseb: What was the command for checking whether something was installed, again? [21:56] !info w32codecs [21:56] Package w32codecs does not exist in jaunty [21:57] Blackbird: interesting how I do that before I see you ask [21:57] hi im trying to install apache html and i need help because im new and i dont know how to === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter [21:57] soreau: when a gnome session is loaded, if compiz is the display manager, it needs to load before the WM loads. Once upon a time, this was the case. Since 9.04, though, the ability to choose a loading order for programs is gone from session properties, and I have been experiencing this issue ever since. [21:57] Blackbird: you can actsaully check with the bot what's in the repo like I just did as well as on your system with sudo apt-get install packagename and then if it's installed it will tell you [21:57] Blackbird: apt-cache policy packagename [21:57] anyone this this is odd... I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on an older system and it ran slow, formatted the hard drive and tried to install Xubuntu 9.04 and Xubuntu didnt work. [21:58] sebsebseb: Um. I tried installing it and it already was installed. [21:58] It DOES come with ubuntu-restricted-extras. [21:58] Blackbird: ok try mplayer [21:58] anyone thank this is odd... I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on an older system and it ran slow, formatted the hard drive and tried to install Xubuntu 9.04 and Xubuntu didnt work. [21:58] keith1: How much RAM? [21:58] keith1: depends what didn't work means [21:58] Welshy-Rob: sudo apt-get install apache2 should get you started [21:58] !work | keith1 frogfoo [21:58] keith1 frogfoo: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [21:59] sebsebseb: yeah, thanks [22:00] Welshy-Rob: you might want to add php5 and libapache2-mod-php5 as well for php. probably throw in some mysql as well if you are so inclined [22:00] sebsebseb: Plays just fine. [22:00] Blackbird: good [22:00] njbair: The proper way is to eliminate all compiz or fusion-icon entries from sys>prefs>startup programs and use gnome-appearance-properties visual effects tab to set effects to extra or custom if you have simple-ccsm installed [22:00] Blackbird: What about rythombox or banshee or both even? [22:00] Hey, is there a way to force packages to install despite lack of dependencies? I have a couple packages that depend on each other (guile-1.6-libs, libguile-ltdl-1, and libqthreads-12). I'd use apt-get, but the computer I'm working on has no internet connection. [22:00] Welshy-Rob: the root of your nice new web server should end up in /var/www ready to edit [22:00] sebsebseb: rhythmbox asks me for a plugin of some sort, goes to search, and retrieves nothing. [22:00] Mewtwo: you should be able to just use a single dpkg command to install both. [22:00] sebsebseb: Does that with MP3, too, even after installing the codecs. [22:01] Blackbird: well I guess really all the players should be working with MP3 once the codec is installed really [22:01] Welshy-Rob: google ubuntu public_html to get more info on setting up directories for other users [22:01] It gives me "dependency problems prevent configuration of guile-1.6-libs" when I try. [22:01] Mewtwo: are you doing both in the same line? [22:02] Hm? [22:02] Mewtwo: like sudo dpkg -i pkg1.deb pkg2.deb [22:02] sebsebseb: ...Oh, obviously. Rhythmbox is trying to look for a GStreamer library, which w32 codecs obviously isn't. [22:02] Oh, I wasn't aware that was possible. Thanks! [22:02] Blackbird: ah ha yeah gstreamer [22:02] Blackbird: there are a few differnet gstremer plugins or whateve they are that can be isntalled from the repo. good, ugly and bad [22:02] Blackbird: have a look in Synaptic or something [22:03] sebsebseb: I have all three. [22:03] Blackbird: ok that's not it then I guess [22:03] sebsebseb: Auto-installed with restricted extras and the generic first-time jaunty update. [22:03] Blackbird: Why exaile by the way? Banshee is a good player to, and a good one to test in [22:03] sebsebseb: A friend recommended it to me, and so far I've liked it. [22:04] Blackbird: right, but maybe you need something else for WMA [22:04] how can i change default resolution from the shell, i see xorg.conf isn't used... [22:04] Blackbird: in fact there will be ways to convert WMA into another format, but I don't know the details [22:04] sebsebseb: I can do that. WMA to WAV to anything. [22:04] ArmOrAttAk: xrandr -s [22:04] World, I'm in Karmic, and I want to get rid of the list of users with an "Other" prompt and instead just have the username/password prompts of old. I don't know where I can change this, though, and searching isn't help. [22:05] Blackbird: MP3, or OGG or Flac would be better [22:05] *helping, even. [22:05] ah, default [22:05] nvm ;f [22:05] sebsebseb: Thing is, this is lossless WMA. So I don't know if the WAV would do the same. [22:05] Blackbird: OGG/Vorbis and Flac being open formats as well :) [22:05] how to mount a usb? i cannot discern what /dev block is [22:05] Blackbird: I don't think many people play music using wav files === iainbuclaw is now known as ibuclaw [22:05] sebsebseb: NO, no, you don't see what I mean. Would going from WMA to FLAC through WAV retain the losslessness, so to speak? [22:06] Blackbird: WMA is not lossless [22:06] ubuntu: check dmesg for the /dev/device [22:06] Hello, I highlighted the partition I want to use but when clcing "Forward" an error message tells me the i've identified a root file what does it mean? [22:06] esUSUL: There's a specific brand of WMA that is supposedly lossless. Super-high bitrate. [22:07] erUSUL: there is a WMA lossless [22:07] !karmic | PMT [22:07] PMT: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [22:07] dennisman: it means your filesystem / is located there [22:07] Blackbird: fair enough then the answer is yes wma(lossless) --> wav --> flac is a lossless transformation [22:08] otmehl: done correctly, it should then keep it lossless. seems weird otherwise [22:08] So how can I select the partition i want to use without deleting xp? [22:08] Wonderful. I'll do it. But first, I'll test banshee to see if it plays the thing. [22:08] erUSUL: Good someone here who knows about music formats, more than me [22:09] ;) [22:09] hi [22:09] erUSUL: well personally I don't care that much about them [22:09] If I want to install skype, is it ok if I install it for ubuntu 8.04 ? I don't see it available for 9+ [22:09] Neither do I. Half my collection is MP3 in 192 kbps. [22:09] papajack: yes that should work [22:10] ok [22:10] papajack: go ahead [22:10] But I was experimenting with WMA lossless when ripping this CD, wanted to know what it was like. [22:10] evolution is eating up all my memory. ideas? http://imagebin.org/66583 [22:10] Blackbird: you should have choosed and open format like flac ;) [22:10] papajack: might have to set things up in it though, which may be annoying [22:10] dragon do you have the latest version? [22:11] monster: yes [22:11] hi! i have 2G of physical memory. htop used to show 1985M, today it shows 1921M. it's a 64bit system, in 32bit figure is IIRC bigger... do not remember the number. MS shown 2045M. can anyone explain the difference to me, please? and why the totals might have changed over time? [22:11] dragon: how large is your mailbox? [22:11] hm [22:11] can someone tell me if i can set my resolution over the maximum (i am using nvidia drivers) [22:11] papajack: and not that easy to do, unless you know about Linux sound for example [22:11] ? [22:11] monster: pretty small [22:11] erUSUL: I could, yeah. Or I could have done what I did with the rest of my music library and set it as MP3 320 kbps, for compatibility. [22:11] latest version for ubuntu? or latest src version [22:11] I'll give it a try [22:11] papajack: good luck [22:11] thanks:) [22:11] monster: latest for ubuntu, and it includes evolution-mapi plugin from the repos [22:12] dragon: i guess if you restart it, it'll eat less memory [22:12] dragon: or you could use mutt [22:12] you might consider downloading the latest source and compile the newer version if there is one [22:12] Banshee won't open WMA either. [22:12] I give up. [22:12] I'll convert. [22:12] Blackbird: or use mplayer? [22:13] sebsebseb: For managing a 6000-song playlist? No thank you. [22:13] Blackbird: ok [22:13] frogfoo: yeah i have to restart it every 15 minutes to bring mem consumption down. I wish mutt supported M$ Exchange. [22:13] In fact, I might just send away those silly WMA files off a CD and record the tracks again off a vinyl. [22:13] Blackbird: Do you know how to convert, if not I guess erUSUL might be able to help you with that [22:13] dragon: apt-get build-deps evolution, wget src, ./configure, make && make install [22:13] dragon: you shoudl probably report that as a bug [22:13] sebsebseb: Not necessary. I can just get them off the vinyl, or I can run them through my other computer. [22:14] sebsebseb: I have a program that does anything-to-WAV-or-AIFF conversions. [22:14] Why Why when attemping to highlight the partition I want to use, I got an error message "You haven't identified a root file", what does that mean, how can I overcome this problem? [22:14] Blackbird: oh ok [22:14] monster: I think there would be a latest deb package in the backports repo. [22:14] dennisman: are you installing ubuntu? [22:14] Problem : there are many incomplete bug reports [22:14] yeah/1 [22:14] frogfoo: I was going to ask that [22:14] dennisman: ok your doing manual install by the sounds of it [22:14] Solution: make it harder to report bugs [22:14] dennisman: i think it means that you haven't selected a root partition [22:15] dennisman, you haven't specified / <- root, the top level of your file system [22:15] dennisman: you need to set one of the partitions to map to "/" if your doing expert mode [22:15] dragon: mostlikely [22:15] dennisman: you need one partition to have the mount point / [22:15] !partitioning | dennisman [22:15] dennisman: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [22:15] dennisman: this is the root partition [22:15] monster: expert mode hmm manual partitioning is hardly expert [22:15] Why, on the earth launchpad redirects to wiki page for every ubuntu package? [22:15] ok, i'll try! [22:15] sebsebseb: I dont recall what they called it [22:15] MaximLevitsky: um, because we can't do that on moon, yet? [22:15] monster: oh ok [22:16] [plus, why on the earth can't i download image attachments without logging into the ubuntu forums?] [22:17] I did find it fun that i couldnt do LVM encryption for swap by defualt on the desktop ubuntu install [22:17] monster: you need the alternate CD to do encryption [22:17] Are any of you familiar with the SUper Joybox 13 GameCube controller-to-USB adapter? Because I would want to know whether that one would work with Ubuntu. [22:17] I did a server install then, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [22:17] For emulators and the like. [22:17] Thanks I got it! [22:17] dragon: just wait, the launchpad will soon launch itself to the moon, so to send a bugreport you would have to have a amateur radio license and high power transmitter [22:18] monster: and for most computers that isn't really nessarey [22:18] true [22:18] i am paranoid [22:18] MaximLevitsky: Launchpad is a launchpad, not a rocket. It'll launch someone else. [22:18] DaZ: that's logging me out then resetting [22:18] hello [22:18] !hi | piet [22:18] i run it in virtualbox, for bank sessions and what not. [22:18] piet: Hi!

[22:19] the vm is just for secure stuff [22:19] out of the desktop yeah [22:19] Though my VPS has enough RAM it is saying "unable to fork memory" [22:19] AnirbanHazra: which bean counter is increasing [22:20] i flip over to ctrl-alt-f2 [22:20] and i didnt want to encrypt base install cause it is a bit slower.

[22:20] i am a true beginner [22:20] markl_ : bean_counter ? [22:20] monster: is the image encrypted? [22:20] AnirbanHazra: you are using openvz? [22:20] frogfoo: to start the VM they need the passphrase to unencrypt the LVM [22:21] monster: ok [22:21] markl_: yes [22:21] AnirbanHazra: cat /proc/user_beancounters [22:21] monster: OpenBSD would be more secure [22:21] monster: by the sounds of it [22:21] AnirbanHazra: there is an #openvz channel too === micah is now known as micahp [22:22] sebsebseb: I barely had enough freetime for that [22:22] markl_: Ha, seeing lots of data .. now ? [22:22] AnirbanHazra: look at the "failcnt" column [22:22] suggestions anyone? plz? [22:22] Hey all i got a problem with my Realtek RTL8187B not connecting to the internet? any suggestions [22:22] i installed a game using wine but i had to go through gksu nautilus. how the hell do i get rid of it? [22:22] pietrubens: ok why 8.10? [22:22] How can I fix my partition table without harming data. Currently, gparted is reporting no active partitions but my computer boots correcly every thime? [22:22] AnirbanHazra: and join #openvz as this is probably getting off topic for this channel :) [22:22] pietrubens, whats the problem again? [22:22] FlyByRaci: what does ifconfig show [22:22] pietrubens: I belive that certain wireless support is better in 9.04 by default [22:23] @seb: was the only cd i had at hands, wanted to upgrade later, after installing it [22:23] pietrubens: atheros wireless support [22:23] markl_: Ha, most of them are zero .. one is 898 [22:23] @seb:??? what do you mean atheros? [22:23] AnirbanHazra: which one? [22:23] pietrubens: also 9.10 is coming out on October 29th, and hopefuly has even more wireless issues fixed, but that probably won't quite be the case [22:23] monster: sorr im a newb to linux and im on windows now cuz i cant connect to the internet while on ubuntu, so i just plug ifconfig in the terminal? [22:23] AnirbanHazra: probably privvmpages [22:24] pietrubens: a type of wireless basicalley [22:24] when he request the Ubuntu CD, does it still comes with Stickers? [22:24] markl_: kmemsize [22:24] ok [22:24] FlyByRaci: it is a terminal command [22:24] pietrubens: I don't know that much about wireless, however you might find this link useful [22:24] AnirbanHazra: ah ok you just need to bump that one up [22:24] FlyByRaci: do you have another machine, you can chat from? [22:24] !wireless | pietrubens [22:24] pietrubens: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:24] monster: K and what information in their will be helpful [22:24] also [22:24] Monster no im at a hotel across the country lol [22:25] FlyByRaci: if you get ndiswrapper installed [22:25] you can use the window driver [22:25] markl_ : Didn't understand u [22:25] which makes it easy [22:25] t [22:25] AnirbanHazra: /join #openvz [22:25] good luck install ndiswrapper without internet though [22:25] people, can someone with a 64-bit system and 2G of memory post the output for total physical memory. i have $top Mem: 1967744k total. and i am confused about the figure. [22:25] monster: ok how much of a pain is the wrapper , yea i tohught thatd be hte problem [22:25] pietrubens: also you can possibily use a Windows driver with Ndiswrapper, but it's better to try native Linux driver first (this is really for you as well FlyByRaci ) [22:25] How can I fix my partition table without harming data. Currently, gparted is reporting no active partitions but my computer boots correctly every time? [22:26] FlyByRaci: you could download all of the debs by hand to your windows partition, then install them in ubuntu [22:26] FlyByRaci: figuring out which files to download is irritating, but not impossible [22:26] FlyByRaci: give me a second ill give you an idea of what to do [22:26] monster: thanks laot man [22:27] alant1: why do you want to change the partition table if it is working correctly? [22:27] it is reporting incorrectly and I want to install a second os [22:28] monster: I think you can probably help pietrubens as well [22:28] yeah [22:28] i think they want to goto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [22:28] got down to current supported release === fccf1 is now known as fccf [22:28] select your distro [22:29] alant1: i think "active" is windows-speak for bootable [22:29] then drill down and download the .deb files for i386 [22:29] alant1: you can toggle the bootable flag on partitions using cfdisk, for example [22:29] put them on usb key or something [22:29] also get your .inf from your window driver [22:29] either way, no partitions are showing [22:29] alant1: not showing where? [22:29] god this is long and boring [22:29] in gparted [22:29] dpkg -i *.deb [22:30] alant1: that's odd [22:30] frogfoo that what I thought too [22:30] monster: really you should also try and help them get a driver working natively first, if you can :) [22:30] alant1: try running cfdisk /dev/sda (if this is the device name for your hard disk) and see what that can see [22:30] alant1: from the terminal, that is [22:30] Is there any way to install the alternate ISO without a CDROM or setting up a netboot install? [22:30] right [22:30] monster:if i have the isntal cd is the wrapper on that?

[22:32] sebsebseb: Wubi doesnt support Alternate since 7.04 for some reason [22:32] Nord: and yes people get issues trying to make a USB install, and I have used the alternate CD before [22:32] frogfoo interesting it is reporting correctly there . I winder what is going on with gparted [22:32] anyone here familiar with putting python 2.6 onto ubuntu lts 8.04? [22:32] Nord: What do you mean Wubi does not support alternate? [22:32] alant1: are you asked for your password when you run it? [22:32] sebsebseb: Question was, have you been successfull installing alternate without using a cdrom reader? [22:32] alant1: gparted, that is [22:33] sebsebseb: You cant install the Alternate iso by using Wubi since version 7.04 [22:33] sebsebseb: Dont know whjy [22:33] Nord: No I have always used a drive, unless virtual machines count of course, when trying other distros out [22:33] i am out looking for a shotgun to put it against my head :o [22:33] Nord: or virtual maching Windows or whatever [22:33] frogfoo:Yed [22:33] sebsebseb: Yeah then it works [22:33] yes [22:33] sebsebseb: Im trying to install it on my Netbook running windows [22:33] sebsebseb: I have an usb stick [22:33] sebsebseb: But i cant get it boot [22:34] alant1: well, assuming you've pointed gparted at the right partition, i think it should work then. report bug at will [22:34] Nord: ah right I see a net book so no CD drive [22:34] sebsebseb: Exactly [22:34] will do thatnks [22:34] thanks [22:34] :) [22:34] <[fade]> np [22:34] np [22:34] sebsebseb: And no other computer so i cant make a netinstall [22:34] sebsebseb: I need to use the USB or Wubi, but none works. [22:34] Nord: well you might be able to do a virtual machine, and the netinstall should work, but I have never done that [22:34] sebsebseb: Guess i need to post something on the forum [22:34] markl_: what you need can be found here for hardy https://launchpad.net/~python-dev/+archive/ppa [22:34] sebsebseb: Virtual machine is out of question [22:35] sebsebseb: Its a 800 mhz =) [22:35] sebsebseb: For netinstall i need another computer and i have none [22:35] monster: thanks for your help man i downloaded the files and the web page link you gave me ill see if i can get it to work [22:35] @monster and sebsebseb; intentions of you are good, but i am following the links and am nothing the wiser :( [22:35] hmm great never installed ubuntu via alternate cd b4 [22:35] Nord: It seems quite a lot of people get issues trying to make a USB, even when they read the guide [22:35] FlyByRaci: [22:36] sebsebseb: Yeah, [22:36] pietrubens: Which links? [22:36] sebsebseb: Im one of them [22:36] <[fade]> its because a lot of people do not read to the end [22:36] Is there a way to type annotations on my ubuntu 9.04 desktop? I know I can draw with annotations in compiz, but I want to type if possible. [22:36] get the -common, the ndisgtk and the 3rd one [22:36] sebsebseb: its strange since either it works on all computers or it dosnt [22:36] 3 debs in totally [22:36] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [22:36] yep got all 3 [22:36] sebsebseb: USB sticks is emlutating CDROMs in every bios [22:36] sebsebseb: So something is borked in the creation programs [22:36] sebsebseb: i guess [22:36] FlyByRaci: excellent [22:36] ty again later [22:36] and yours, the wirelesscardssupported [22:37] pietrubens: Ok good luck, but a guide for installing a native Linux driver for your wireless would have been better reall [22:37] lates [22:37] y [22:37] sebsebseb: Its a shame Windows has no DD [22:37] sebsebseb: dd command [22:37] @seb??? [22:37] sebsebseb: If so, i had been able to install on virtualbox and then just dd the partition =) [22:37] Nord: I guess try the forum like you suggested if you want, I can't exactly help you [22:37] how to do i clear all the .deb 's downloaded by apt-get? [22:37] hi. i am on 9.04. is it possible to put ubuntu on standby please? since all i see is hibernation and not stanby [22:37] hi [22:37] Nord: i believe it's been ported :) [22:37] Nord: you could use a livecd to dd windows partitions [22:37] frogfoo :)) [22:37] Nord: You can run an ISO in virtaulbox [22:38] monster: Yeah but not virtual partitions in sun virtualbox =) [22:38] ah [22:38] sebsebseb: yeah but not install it on real harddrive i guess [22:38] Hello. === Guest32703 is now known as H3AV3N [22:38] Nord: true [22:38] jony123: sudo apt-get clean [22:38] I have a little issue here, maybe someone could help. [22:38] Nord: well there might be a way to convert a vm into a psyicail partition, but in that case not easilley I guess, there's also a way to convert a wubi install into a psyicail install, I don't know how though [22:39] !ask | H3AV3N [22:39] H3AV3N: 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. :-) [22:39] Nord: it should work actually if you boot the live iso with virtualbox [22:39] :D [22:39] Ok :) [22:39] Thank you for the tip. [22:39] So I've got an interesting problem. I need to add u+x to files that are executables [22:40] I <3 gparted-live.iso [22:40] I'm trying to run Photoshop through Wine... installed it and everything, when I click it then I hear my HDD working for about 2 seconds then nothing happens, it won't start. Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or something? [22:40] i know how to do it with chmod etc [22:40] !love > monster [22:40] monster, please see my private message [22:40] Tiggers: isn't that redundant? +x is how you know it is executable [22:40] rofl [22:40] i mean if you have something that is compiled [22:40] Tiggers: or are you trying to analyze the file type [22:40] H3AV3N: You can ask for help with that in #winehq [22:40] monster: :) [22:41] stinking ice wealses [22:41] I *may* have jacked up my file permissions. :) [22:41] Thank you. [22:41] monster: no [22:41] !permissions | Tiggers [22:41] Tiggers: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [22:41] H3AV3N: np and good luck [22:41] monster: or how do i get access to my harddrives partrition tables? === mikinanuq is now known as feross === feross is now known as mikinanuq [22:42] Nord: the live cd will see the virtual harddrive [22:42] Gosh I'll need it. [22:42] Is there a way to type annotations on my ubuntu 9.04 desktop? I know I can draw with annotations in compiz, but I want to type if possible. [22:42] Photoshop is the only thing keeping me still stuck in Windows. [22:42] hi. i am on 9.04. is it possible to put ubuntu on standby please? since all i see is hibernation and not stanby [22:42] And I want to throw that out A.S.A.P. [22:42] anyone know how to re-calibrate a laptop battery? [22:42] H3AV3N: There's also a way to install Gimpshop into Ubuntu, it makes The GIMP be more like Photoshop, all in one big frame [22:42] H3AV3N: and there's Inkscape and such for graphics in the repo as well [22:42] is there a way to enable a VNC server such that I can login remotely over it ? [22:42] H3AV3N: run it in wine or something like crossover office [22:43] Nord: we are talking about a virtual box windows vm correct? [22:43] Tiggers: heh well you may need to write a script to run "file" on everything [22:43] That's not my problem with GIMP. I've been using Photoshop for 6 years and I've gone to the point of no return when it comes to design. [22:43] Crossover? [22:43] Hmm, let me check that out. [22:44] H3AV3N: crossover office is a commercial version of wine for use with things like photoshop [22:44] H3AV3N: I see Adobe vender lock in, wikipedia have a good vender lock in page, but it is good software for the pros, and it's up to you to choose what to use [22:44] Nord: what exactly are you trying to do to that partition with dd? [22:44] H3AV3N: Yes it might work better in Crossover [22:44] Tiggers: e.g. if file says "ELF 64-bit LSB executable" (or 32 bit) then you chmod +x [22:44] hello :) [22:44] ah okay [22:44] Tiggers: probably need to look for scripts too [22:45] it may not be a fun project [22:45] H3AV3N: I recommend virtulbox xp/windows7 +photoshop [22:45] how can I update my system without downloading entire packets? [22:45] yeah I already got the scripts to have the correct permissions [22:45] Tiggers: it may be possible to check the package database too? [22:45] depending on system resources [22:45] Tiggers: cool [22:45] H3AV3N: monster has a good point there, you might be able to virtual machine it rather nicely [22:46] why dont you virtualize windows [22:46] Monster: My computer is as slow as it is without giving it the Vmware. 512mb of ram, AMD 64bit 3000+ so it's pretty old, I'm running Xubuntu so that sais it all :)) [22:46] Hi, recently I did an upgrade within ubuntu 9.04, after a reboot, Xorg crashes and the whole machine hangs, after removing fglrx I can get X to start in low graphics mode, but Wifi no longer works (broadcom wifi) [22:46] on virtual box [22:46] H3AV3N: oh 512MB RAM yeah that won't be that good for virtual machine [22:46] anyone have any ideas? [22:46] I know :) [22:46] I am confused about configuring sudo on a couple of Ubuntu Hardy slices I inherited from someone else. There is no "admin" group, and no entries in /etc/sudoers, and yet user 'deploy' has sudo access. Any ideas how else this might be configured. [22:46] how can I update my system without downloading entire packets? [22:46] IdahoEv: slices??? [22:47] IdahoEv: and configuring sudo? it should be set up by default to use [22:47] sebsebseb: Sorry. VM images provided by Slicehost.com. So they call them slices. [22:47] sebsebseb: do all users have sudo by default, then? [22:47] H3AV3N not cool at all [22:47] at the time of the upgrade, there was a kernel upgrade and a few other things.. even booting an older kernel did not fix the problem with my laptop crashing when X started [22:47] wont work [22:47] IdahoEv: ok I have never heard of that site before, you should only download stuff from sources you trust for sure [22:48] sebsebseb: Sorry, it's not a download - it's a live server. They were set up for my client by a previous admin, but I'm managing the site now. [22:48] linx seem your graphics card is ATI [22:48] huh [22:48] pradeep: correct 3200 HD [22:48] IdahoEv: ok a hardy server so Ubuntu server yeah? [22:48] IdahoEv: that sounds like an OEM install... what is the username on that machine? === jmrodri is now known as jmrodri-gone [22:49] was working fine before upgrade [22:49] pradeep: I know. I just have this machine (the only machine for now) that has to do: internet, photoshop and music. The most critical of them is not running yet (that's photoshop). [22:49] sebsebseb: Well, the guy who handed me the slice said it was configured with a ubuntu hardy image. [22:49] fccf: the username on the machine? I'm not sure what you mean [22:49] Lint_: you can't? [22:49] IdahoEv: well fccf might be able to help, also there's #ubuntu-server [22:49] Lint_: assuming that you mean packages, rather than packetes [22:50] IdahoEv: the login username... if it is oem then you have an incomplete install and there will be security concerns [22:50] wifi chipset is BCM4322 [22:50] And wine is too-much-of-windows-microsoft-thingy as it is, so even if I would be able to run a virtual machine I'd do all that is possible not to. [22:50] VGA: RS780M/RS780MN [22:50] The first slice (already configured) has a root account and an account called "deploy" that has sudo access. [22:51] linx [22:51] back [22:51] how do you reduce Gnomes display resolution from the command line? [22:51] IdahoEv: fccf that's what I was thinking about as well security concerns, because of sudo not being set up to use by default for example [22:51] yep? [22:51] the second slice (a new one I'm trying to configure similarly) I just created the deploy account, but can't figure out how to give it sudo access. [22:51] you need to install [22:51] it is because of DEB repository? Can RPM systems do this? [22:51] IdahoEv: I have a feeling that they have done the Big No Of Ubuntu which is setting a root password [22:51] on the first one, where deploy already has sudo, i can't figure out how it does, because it doesn't have an an entry in /etc/sudoers, and there's no admin group [22:51] sebsebseb: you can have a root password if you want, it just isnt necessary [22:51] hey there are to many question here [22:52] Hi im trying to put some files into a folder and it wont let me. it says permission denied. how would i go about putting them in? [22:52] linxeh: and not recommended in here [22:52] Hello, could i trouble somone for some help with setting up a SVN im having some problems [22:52] Lint_ both deb and rpm can do delta but delta-debs are not implemnted in Ubuntu at this time. [22:52] yes, they clearly set a root password. I am trying to get away from using it by giving "deploy" sudo access on the 2nd box [22:52] lets all do it one at a time [22:52] * Linx waits his turn [22:52] linxeh: they have bot factoids against it for example [22:52] sebsebseb: one reason I didnt try and help them do the native drive was this. My wireless card only got 30% singal strengst and tons of noise till i did the ndiswrapper [22:53] sebsebseb: I know; if you know what you are doing (and why) its not an issue any more than on any other distribution [22:53] this is a case by case situation, but it was the place i would have started myself [22:53] sebsebseb: I agree, this was discussed this weekend, and there are only a few reasons that one would want a root password [22:54] IdahoEv: see the stuff above linxeh fccf and me [22:55] IdahoEv: on an inital install the first user always has sudo access by default ... got me confused? [22:55] Okay - I think I have figured it out. The 1st server does, in fact, have entries in /etc/sudoers [22:55] I was looking in the wrong shell [22:55] Ive installed Ubuntu numerous times. I am trying to install on an HP PAvillion A1000Y and it gets to loading X Windows, gives me an 'X' cursor, and then the video just cuts out [22:55] fm: [22:55] I am googling for this and not finding anything [22:55] disable acpi [22:55] so the hosting company set it up with a root password and no admin group, and the previous admin just edited /etc/sudoers directly. bah. [22:55] fm: A printer? [22:56] I thought as much but didn't remember the command to pass the installer [22:56] fm: its in the gui of 9.04 [22:56] yes it has a crappy printer plugged in but probably acpi [22:56] fm: Oh your doing a video card not a printer it seems [22:56] what is the exact command I pass the installer on boot up to disable acpi ? [22:57] fm: noacpi .. befor quiet splash [22:57] right duh thanks [22:58] bye [22:58] Im trying to set up a SVN Server on a fresh install of ubuntu, im following how to set up Subversion from the documentation, but i get to a point where it wont work, I have installed the SVN package and trying to create a repo with the line "svnadmin create /path/to/repos/project" according to the documentation, it comes up with creation failed, cant create top-level dir and no such file or dir [22:58] ubuntu machines can join Active Directory ? [22:59] off work! [22:59] gg guys [22:59] does anyone nkow how to install AA 2.5 Assist? [22:59] Malcor: You may need to use sudo [23:00] Tried it [23:00] sorry i forgot to mention its ubuntu server === grow1er__ is now known as grow1er [23:00] ok crap it did the same thing, it gets to X windows, loads the 'X' cursor, and the video just clicks out [23:00] does anyone know how to install AA 2.5 Assist? [23:00] it's a bloody pavillion wth [23:00] no peripherals attached [23:01] Malcor: post the full path (the command you use exactly) [23:01] does anyone know how to install tarballs with binaries [23:01] neverblue: edirectory has been implemented for active directory ... install the package 'libauthen-simple-ldap-perl' [23:01] hi, this is my problem, I've mad an ubuntu software update this morning. Now, after rebooting, the system is not detecting my graphic card, and the srcreen resulotion is 800x 600 I barely can handle this, what can I do? [23:01] dan2077: just extract them [23:01] dan2077: tar xfvz file.tar.gz [23:01] dan2077: you mean, install binaries from tarballs? [23:02] frogfoo yeah [23:02] hey`: is it an intel 945 card by any chance [23:02] does anyone know how I can determine why there is no /proc/mdstat or /dev/md* devices ? Ubuntu upgraded the kernel to a new Ubuntu-version, which wasn't allowing me to mount my encrypted volume, so I went back to 2.6.27-7-generic [23:02] iceroot: so what do i do after extracting? [23:02] fccf can you write/apply GPOs as well then ? [23:02] and on the old kernel, there is no RAID at all. no /dev/md* and no /proc/mdstat [23:02] dan2077: starting the binary ./binary-file [23:02] dan2077: if it's .tar, use tar xvf filename.tar; if it's .tar.gz use tar zxvf .tar.gz; if it's filename.tar.bz2, use tar jxvf filename.tar.bz2 [23:03] ive tried "svnadmin create /path/to/repos/project" and "sudo svnadmin create /path/to/repos/project" [23:03] neverblue: I'm gunna say probably ... I'd have to research it and that isn't what I get paid to do (or not paid, in anycase) [23:03] system404 no, it's nvidia. [23:03] Malcor: as i said, post the real command [23:03] hey`: ah sorry cant help u there [23:03] ok [23:03] nly av experiance with intel cards [23:03] thats exactly what ive put in [23:04] Malcor: hm..... [23:04] Malcor: /path/to/project is an example! [23:04] sebsebseb: I found the solution i guess [23:04] iceroot: what do i do if the program terminates itself after launching? [23:04] hey`: you will need to run gksudo nvidia-settings to reset your configuration files, the new version probably broke something which can be fixed with nvidia-settings [23:04] sebsebseb: My 8 GB Kingston DataTraveler is emulating SD card. [23:04] Malcor: you have to use a real path like /home/yourusername/svn-repo/ or soomething like that [23:04] dan2077: posting details here [23:04] sebsebseb: Which ubuntu dont know how to boot from [23:05] Hi, I'm setting up my server with multiple encrypted harddisks and want to use keyfiles... can anyone tell me how i can make my initramfs do all the decrypting and mounting so i just have to enter the password once when bootin? [23:05] I did an upgrade on my laptop (Ubuntu 9.04 64bit), after rebooting when Xorg starts my laptop freezes and I have to turn it off [23:05] sebsebseb: But when i used my USB sd card reader at 2 GB, it works. Since that one is emulating a CDROM =) [23:05] i know its an example but shouldn't it create it? [23:05] I removed the fglrx drives for xorg and it starts in low graphics mode [23:06] iceroot: Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 [23:06] Segmentation fault [23:06] linx: u would have to uninstall it [23:06] Malcor: no, its only creating one folder not folder in folder [23:06] but also found I have no wifi [23:06] (actually I have it somehow working, but i can't get my initramfs mounting the keyfiles...) [23:06] pradeep: uninstall what? [23:06] dan2077: sounds like you have a 64 bit binary [23:06] the upgrades? [23:06] dan2077: or some other mismatch, like wrong library versions [23:06] frogfoo: i have a 64bit system [23:06] Malcor: only the last folder of your command will be created [23:06] dan2077: binaries are much less fun than packages [23:06] the upgrade uyou made [23:06] Malcor: the rest have to be there already [23:07] I have uninstalled all fglrx drives and related packages... [23:07] which has allowed me to get X going in low graphics mode [23:07] dan2077: i guess you could try ldd binaryname [23:07] dan2077: see if that complains about missing stuff [23:07] drivers [23:07] yeah thats fixed it thankyou, well not fix but corrected me === ubuntu is now known as kebomix [23:07] fccf: when I run "nvidia-settins" it tells me that I'm not using the nvidia x driver, and that I must edit my X config file [23:07] so what is the problem [23:07] test [23:07] no wifi [23:07] frogfoo: i got that message above after running the binary [23:08] hello , gparted and ubuntu installer doesn't see my partitions !!? [23:08] Malcor: its trying to create svn-folder in /path/to/ but there is no /path and no /path/to/ [23:08] and no more than low graphics mode [23:08] dan2077: i know [23:08] open terminal lspci then PM the result [23:08] what's the preferred wireless connection manager for cli -- in ubuntu? [23:08] hey`: it should tell tell yu to run nvidia-xconfig to create an xorg with your driver [23:09] yes iceroot. [23:09] black_: iwconfig [23:09] I think I did that this morning, with no good results :( [23:09] hey`: then run it [23:09] hey`: er, looks like it forgot to upgrade your nvidia driver and went with the default ... suggest installing envyng and using it to get the correct driver .. then run nvidia-settings [23:09] pradeep: pm or paste bin the output? [23:09] whats the ifconfig command in the busybox (or whatever it is) when bringing up a shell in the install cd? [23:09] but I'm gonna try it again. [23:09] cause ifconfig is not there... [23:09] dan2077: maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=435940 helps? i know nothing of 64 bit issues [23:09] iceroot: I thought there was something with less of a learning curve [23:09] how do I restart X? with ctrl + alt + z? [23:09] frogfoo: ok thanks [23:09] I mean ctrl + alt + del? [23:09] black_: you asked for prefered not for easy [23:10] black_: i only know iwconfig [23:10] hey`: control-alt-backspace [23:10] hey`: assuming it's not been disabled [23:10] hey`: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart ctrl + alt + backspace has been disabled in jaunty [23:10] iceroot: I didn't say easy either. [23:10] hey`: no, it is Ctrl-SysReq-K if you are on jaunty [23:10] I've been using iwconfig thus far. [23:10] !dontzap [23:10] To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [23:10] I'm in hardy guys. [23:10] hey`: then use ctrl + alt + backspace [23:10] linx you there [23:11] kk [23:11] hi there, i have a 3 mobile internet dongle and i cant get it to work on ubuntu [23:11] pradeep_, yep, just pasted paste bin URL in pm [23:11] does ubuntu 8.10 use the magic sysrq key?

[23:15] Nord: Ok good [23:15] Could someone explain how gnome-terminal passes the --working-directory parameter to bash so that bash knows what to set the initial directory to? I'm trying to debug what's not working with fish (another shell). [23:16] mgv1: point firefox to it, i guess [23:16] daveycakes: I will tell you we were on the right track yesterday ... and making sure that it unmounts the data partition of the device is key to making it act correctly have you tried ,,, sudo eject /dev/sr0 [23:16] gparted and ubuntu installer doesn't see my partitions !! , any solution? [23:16] fccf: hey buddy :) [23:16] frogfoo- but it will go to the website [23:16] fccf: i just found this, do you think its useful? http://www.greenhughes.com/content/zte-mf627-easy-way [23:16] mgv1: did you put ftp:// at the beginning? [23:16] kebomix: What partitions do you have? [23:18] daveycakes: perhaps, however it is for different hardware entirely although the setups for the zte modem is similar [23:18] sebsebseb: i have 7 partition and 2 of them are recovery and all of them are ntfs [23:18] guys it didn't work. [23:18] partitions* [23:18] I think I'm going crazy. [23:19] nvidia-xconfig did nothing. [23:19] frogfoo- ok - will it allow to upload files too? [23:19] kebomix: Why 7? What are they? [23:19] mgv1: i don't know [23:19] hey`: as sudo? [23:19] fccf yes. [23:19] as root [23:19] I mean. [23:19] right click and add [23:19] hey`: and restart x [23:19] sebsebseb: the file manager on live cd read them and access them well [23:19] mgv1: i guess not [23:19] well, both, sudo this morning and root now. [23:19] I mean, there are hardly any options when I right click [23:19] I get a list of only a tiny number [23:19] mgv1: there are some nice console ftp clients but it's been years and years since i used them [23:19] yes fccf, I did my ctrl + alt +backspace [23:20] mgv1: ncftp, from memory? [23:20] kebomix: ok 7 partitions is a lot [23:20] hey`: install envyng which will install the right driver, then nvidia-settings ... seems the driver is not installed or available locally [23:20] I wish I could go back and don't do that software update. [23:20] kebomix: you probably don't need all that, tell me about your set up:) [23:20] sebsebseb: 2 recovery , 1 windows, 2 data , (and 1 for mac and 1 for linux , i will install them ) , it doesn't read partitions since i got my laptop when it was only 3 partitions [23:20] frogfoo, ive installed gftp gui client [23:20] ok fccf I'm working on that [23:20] kebomix: For Mac hmm your on a Mac? [23:21] mgv1: doesnt' that work? [23:21] hey`: how are you going to learn anything if you don't break it once in a while? [23:21] frogfoo, ive just installed it - i will check it now [23:21] sebsebseb : no on toshiba A300 laptop , anyway it's not number of partitions problem [23:22] fccf: yep you're right. [23:22] fccf: the package envyng is not found. [23:22] kebomix: When doing the Ubuntu installer if you do manual install do partitions come up? [23:22] Hello folks [23:22] I so totally wrote a fix for this permissions problem. Woot! [23:22] StaRetji: hi [23:23] hey`: envyng-core and envyng-gtk [23:23] kk [23:23] anybody willing to advise me [23:23] !ask | StaRetji [23:23] StaRetji: 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. :-) [23:23] it about network interfaces [23:23] !details | StaRetji [23:23] StaRetji: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:24] fccf: done, both installed. [23:24] should I run envyng? [23:25] hey`: yep ... and install the 180 or whatever drivers are available [23:25] OK, I installed ubuntu on usb stick and have set network interfaces in /etc/networking/interfaces. Now, when I plug stick to a different pc then the one I have installed on, my eth0 doesn't work. I have to add eth1. So, question is, where ubuntu stores information about eth0 so that I can erase it, clear it. Thx! [23:25] got it [23:25] StaRetji: Which version of Ubuntu? [23:26] 9.04 [23:26] sebsebseb: wait i will upload screenshot [23:26] StaRetji: hmm [23:26] auto eth0 [23:26] StaRetji: Maybe not so relivant, but 8.10 can run on this computer no problem, on the other one nope [23:26] iface eth0 inet dhcp [23:26] wont work if I plug stick inside another pc [23:26] StaRetji: I meant the eterhent in 8.10 [23:26] ethernet [23:27] yep, my eht0 works [23:27] do the ubunut 8.10 & 9.04 installer cd's still have a "live-expert" mode ? [23:27] fm: don't think so [23:27] but interfaces script fails if I change pc [23:27] fm: ,but if they had it, well it's there still [23:27] I have to add eth1 and so on, as many as pc I change :( [23:28] I have stick that I carry with me [23:28] StaRetji: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [23:28] erUSUL [23:28] I'm on to it right now [23:28] thx [23:28] erUSUL: You again :D I wasn't sure what to put [23:28] StaRetji: there the system makes a map MAC <--> iface [23:29] StaRetji: the /dev assignment is done by udev. it's automagic. [23:29] understood, something like interfaces mac cache [23:29] sebsebseb: i sit here waiting for you to get out of ideas ;) [23:29] erUSUL: heh [23:30] erUSUL: well can be useful to work as a team in here with others at times [23:30] erUSUL mate [23:30] thx so much [23:30] StaRetji: no problem [23:30] now, I'll add script that will clear this file on boot ;) [23:30] StaRetji: if you're using DHCP, why not just set the same configuration for eth0 and eth1 in /etc/network/interfaces? [23:30] sebsebseb: ;D [23:30] mneptok, not sure that I understand what ya mean [23:31] I have this inside [23:31] StaRetji: i would just clear the file on *shutdown* to avoid races on boot [23:31] StaRetji: you're using DHCP. dynamic IP configuration. just tell /etc/network/interfaces to use it for both eth0 and eth1 [23:31] auto eth0 [23:31] iface eth0 inet dhcp [23:31] auto eth1 [23:31] iface eth1 inet dhcp [23:31] StaRetji: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:31] auto eth2 [23:31] exactly [23:31] iface eth2 inet dhcp === kebomix is now known as Guest51480 [23:32] As I change few pcs daily [23:32] I would have to add a bunch :D [23:32] sebsebseb: screenshots here http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/8015/snapshot1.png and here http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4782/snapshot2g.png [23:32] StaRetji: because use you PCs with more than 2 ethernet interfaces? [23:32] i want to be able to go back and forward in firefox with three-finger multi-touch, two-finger scrolling works but not back and forward in a browser [23:32] nope [23:32] during one day === Guest51480 is now known as kebomix1 [23:32] i change few pcs [23:33] and, if I have eth0 eth1 and eth2 inside interfaces, it will keep record of former 3 nics [23:35] hi im trying to put a file into a folder but it says Error moving file: Permission denied. how can i change the permission of the folder? [23:35] so the next pc would not bring its nic up. erUSUL helped me with the file that I can manipulate. THX again. [23:36] un === chaky_ is now known as chaky [23:36] Morgansl: what folder is this ? [23:37] erUSUL: /usr/local/share/AlephOne [23:37] Guest5811: no don't do that [23:37] Morgansl: you should do the copy with sudo if you really need to [23:37] Guest5811: don't get it using the whole of your hard disk [23:37] should I 'fix' this -- http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/8823/screenshotcomputerjanit.png [23:37] erUSUL: how would i do that? [23:38] Morgansl: sudo cp filename /usr/local/share/AlephOne/ [23:38] Guest5811: also if gparted and manual install and so on, aren't showing your partitions, there is something wrong [23:39] Guest5811: ah messaged the wrong guest [23:39] kebomix1: oh you got a name back ok, see above that was for you [23:39] erUSUL: i will try that. [23:40] For some reason, after the latest updates my recognized mimetypes are messed up. Nautilus wants to open .tar.gz files with gedit, .torrent files with gedit, etc. Is there a way to change them all back? [23:40] when I switch to a VT the prompt looks enormous. How do I fix the font? [23:41] how can i find the desktop in gftp? [23:42] sebsebseb : yeah , i'm not going to do it , there is a recovery partition i paid for :( [23:42] kebomix1: That you paid for? [23:42] mgv1: ~/Desktop or similar [23:42] chowder: setfont. Also consider using a framebuffer [23:43] MrElendig: thanks [23:43] hi, is there something similar to the option DontZap for the tty consoles? (ctrl+alt+F1 etc.) [23:43] at erUSUL [23:43] subito: yes, man xorg.conf [23:43] sebsebseb: yeah , i meant windows vista recovery :D [23:43] erUSUL: it says cp: cannot stat `Images.imgA': No such file or directory [23:43] Are the repos being hammered or something? [23:43] MrElendig, Could not change local directory to /Desktop: No such file or directory [23:43] works great I made script to be executed at startup to clear file, great. Thx m an [23:43] fccf: now the nvdia drivers are installed. [23:43] but [23:44] StaRetji: no problem [23:44] I went to watch an mp4 and firefox/ubuntu wanted to download and install gstreamer, but it's taking like ten minutes. [23:44] kebomix1: Well those are a bit stupid, because most people don't know how to use them. [23:44] fccf I can't set up an aproppiate screen resolution yet. [23:44] mgv1: note the ~ infront [23:44] Morgansl: 1) linux is case sensitive 2) you have to be i the same folder as the image you want to copy [23:44] hey`: have you run gksudo nvidia-settings and detected your displays? [23:44] erUSUL: ok [23:44] MrElendig: tty returns no result for the search [23:45] kebomix1: Also I guess it will clear out all data and everything [23:45] ermm I run fccf: envying, and let this installed everything. [23:45] but not nvidia-settings again. [23:45] erUSUL: i should of thought of that [23:45] subito: read it, or learn to search. if you search for Ctrl-Alt you will find it [23:45] Morgansl: so for example if the image is in your Desktop first de « cd ~/Desktop » [23:45] kebomix1: Maybe you got some werid hard disk and you need the alternate CD to partition [23:45] envying installed the drivers, then I just come from a restart. [23:45] Ctrl+Alt* [23:45] sebsebseb: of course :D [23:45] it's called DontVTSwitch [23:45] hey`: with nvidia cards . resolution is set from nvidia-settengs [23:45] MrElendig: ok thanks [23:46] ok [23:46] man -P "less +/virtual terminal" xorg.conf :) [23:46] MrElendig, i did typed it [23:46] sebsebseb: so what to do now ? [23:47] kebomix1: as much as I like helping with dual boots, and helping people install Ubuntu, this is beyound me [23:47] actually man -P "less +/\"virtual terminal\"" xorg.conf [23:47] sebsebseb: this problem is common on alot of toshiba laptops [23:47] kebomix1: well as I said maybe you got a weird hard drive === richard is now known as Guest86014 [23:48] kebomix1: Lap tops are usaully the ones that get problems when it comes to Ubuntu, however usaully it's wireless or sound or both [23:49] is there any one here who know ssh and is good with irc servers? [23:49] kebomix1: Even Windows XP can't just be installed into certain hard disks, unless told to use a driver [23:49] sebsebseb: yeah , this time it's a bad bug , never faced it before :( [23:50] anu one? [23:50] nay one? [23:50] kebomix1: Bug? Probably more like, like lack of proper hardware manufacture support [23:50] Guest86014, please, avoid asking questions about your ability to ask a real question. State a problem.

[23:51] hey`: what do you mean how to configure it?... you mean your resolution? [23:51] hey`: do you have another computer with ubuntu ? [23:51] erUSUL: its working [23:52] Guest86014, define services? [23:52] nop, only this laptop. [23:52] operserv chan serv ect [23:52] Guest86014, what about ssh?

[23:53] dethaddr: go [23:53] Guest86014: why don't you try google? [23:53] erUSUL: how would i bring in a folder? [23:53] not really an ubuntu problem [23:53] i have but the set up n install is greek 2 me [23:53] Morgansl: copy an entire folder ? cp -r [23:53] IndyGunFreak, it could be a problem solvable with ubuntu heuristics, e.g. 'apt-cache search ircd' [23:54] Guest86014: loads of good IRC networks, I don't see why you need to run one === Guest86014 is now known as I_NEED_IRCD_HELP [23:54] Guest86014: probably all the more reason you don't need to be running one [23:54] oh snap. [23:54] im just looking 4 help [23:54] erUSUL: Thanks [23:54] hey`: you might look in /etc/X11 for a xorg.conf backup from before it broke ... that might fix you up [23:55] I_NEED_IRCD_HELP: you seem to know what it's called as well [23:55] hey`: why can you not adjust your resolution? [23:55] yea i was a admin on irc.lowrider.com b4 he started usen a new chat [23:55] I_NEED_IRCD_HELP, why don't you join #freenode and ask the sysops? I'm sure they'll assist you '-) [23:55] i have a website 2 [23:55] k [23:56] ;) [23:56] there's two common partition cloning program used partimage and (what's the other?)

[23:56] indygunfreak it's almost imposible, windows are too big. [23:56] Scunizi: i think clonezilla [23:56] ubuntu! [23:56] !gparted [23:56] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [23:56] IndyGunFreak: that's it! Thanks :) [23:56] Merc: Do you have a support question? [23:56] hey`: checks can be sent to my manager LOL [23:57] hey`: whats your current resolution? [23:57] StaRetji, it sure seems like you're having an issue with your i915 driver [23:57] yep, but i915 is not the driver [23:57] hehehe fccf, I'm about to kiss you. [23:58] StaRetji, if you don't need drm (direct rendering management?) - wait wuh? [23:58] indygunfreak 640x400 [23:58] hey`: did it work?

[23:59] Scunizi: clonezilla ? [23:59] !intel [23:59] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [23:59] StaRetji, well, you can probably safely comment out your xorg,conf stuff, ubuntu does it automagically. [23:59] erUSUL: how would i add a folder that has a space in the name? [23:59] Penta: Not hard of that one, but there's Abiword [23:59] heard above [23:59] hey`: if you temporarily move your panels to the sides(one on each side).. .and open up nvidia settings, will that give you enough room?
