[00:01] mika_video: I use opera daily but use firefox for web development. I've downgrade to firefox 2 and have sufficed the problem there [00:02] ok... i'm in a considerable amount of trouble, heh.. i just downloaded and installed the fglrx package using synaptic.. did nothing, so i restarted to see if it would take effect - now when i go to boot up, i get a screen of very messed up black and white blocks.. flashes four times. recovery mode attempt to fix graphic problems didn't fix this [00:02] is anyone able to help me out. i'm on my laptop currently [00:02] When I boot I do not see the normal loading screen but I see a verbose kind of thing [00:02] though I tried to run FF 3.5 straight from the download directory, ( not from ubuntu repo ) and says missing need libs [00:02] how do I make it run in normal boot screen? [00:02] unop: yeah, but that still lists dependencies, which would mean i'd have to work through a list of 1000+ packages to find those i specifically installed [00:03] mordof: you could maybe try a: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [00:03] Is there something i can do if my pc don't want to detect my mp3-player when i plug in th eusb cable? I tried to search in google but didn't found a solution. [00:03] ianm_: on it === Vantrax is now known as Hashishin [00:04] scyx, yea, i know - but that's probably is as close as it gets even though the query is explicit in saying "list all packages that were not installed automatically" [00:04] ok.. well that did nothing [00:05] Shinedown, does your mp3 player have a card? [00:05] scyx, if your synaptic log lists the packages as you like, you could find out where this log file lies and use that ? [00:05] let me ask a different question, before the Startup applications kick in, in what file can I find the applications that start up for all users? [00:05] Shinedown, try using the card on a card reader to see if its recognized [00:06] Enabling a (Broadcom STA) driver in Karmic causes visual effects to be turned off.

Thanks [00:07] how can i make it so when i plug in a new monitor it just shows up? right now i have a monitor and a projector that i switch cables with on occasion...but i always have to restart xorg or reboot for ubuntu to detect the 2nd monitor [00:07] that reconfigure thing didn't help [00:10] issue: theme is not applying to the menubars unless i go to the appearance applet, when it suddenly applies instantly. happens everytime i boot, using gnome. how can i fix it? [00:10] Wicked: perhaps a kvm switch [00:10] :( [00:10] does the ubuntu server live cd allow you to setup lvm or do I have to use the alternate install cd for that? [00:10] Wicked: shouldn't be necessary.. there's got to be a way to have it, even if you have to make a script [00:11] Wicked: techinically speaking you can short circuit your pc if you manually plugging and unplugging the monitor [00:11] hmm..never heard that happen before [00:11] ok, so i just attempted to use xorg.conf.failsafe... and it's still not solving my problem [00:11] hence the invention of kvm switches [00:12] but..i have a projector i watch tv and movies on...but i also have two monitors....so i need to be able to swap the cable for the secondary monitor....

[00:19] <[fade]> mordof then remove xorg file by this command sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:19] blenderpc: Look for a button with a square with arrows either side, I believe that's the common symbol used [00:19] <[fade]> run X -configure again [00:19] <[fade]> it should create a new one [00:19] blenderpc: Something like <-[]-> (excuse the poor ASCII art :) ) [00:19] looking...feel incredibly stupid if I just hit a button [00:19] here is a guide http://ascending.wordpress.com/2008/06/14/howto-read-vista-burnt-udf-dvds-on-ubuntu-linux/ but my kernel version is 2.6.28-15-generic so I can't follow it [00:19] zerocool, i'm googling it right now. if you would please excuse the time it's taking. [00:19] [fade]: nope, same thing [00:19] <[fade]> if that wont work, try running xorgconfigure [00:19] can you point me some resources to solve this problem [00:19] k [00:20] command not found ; ; [00:20] ok thx [00:20] hi all, i have some problem using icon themes, folder icons do not load, i thought it was this bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=539286 but not. can you point me in some direction?

[00:29] [fade]: "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" [00:29] well, it's an install image [00:29] Bmachine, you need to specify more detail than just no luck, what does it say when you type sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree [00:30] [fade]: that's all the xorg.conf has.. device, monitor, and screen - all just configured so and so for each.. nothing else [00:30] I already installed it [00:30] can I still boot from the cd if I compress it? [00:30] <[fade]> remove the file and restart [00:30] <[fade]> mordof [00:30] and it completed [00:30] <[fade]> next time start in recovery mode [00:30] <[fade]> do it now [00:30] and rebooted firefox, and nothing still [00:30] Bmachine, did you restart firefox? [00:30] Fade - there are three different files by that name...two have today's date and some other numbers attached [00:31] [fade]: k, removed - and now in the recovery mode prompt [00:31] paipimenta, are you dealing with a .img file? [00:31] <[fade]> mordof log in as you, type startx [00:31] [fade]: there's no log in for this [00:31] do you want me to resume normal bootup? [00:32] unlikely.. it only has the option to drop to root [00:32] <[fade]> at start, you have recovery mode and normal boot right? [00:32] yes [00:32] .iso file.... can I just put it in the NTFS partition somehow so I can boot from it and install?

[00:34] <[fade]> ctrl+alt+backspace wont work ? [00:34] I think it's because the upgrader crashed once and failed to put the repositories back to normal [00:34] <[fade]> i thought in ubuntu it s on, but in kubuntu off [00:34] I noticed that the sources list says karmic [00:34] [fade]: no.. nothing responds [00:34] how do I overburn in ubuntu? I've got a pretty nice LG burner, think it supports it [00:34] paipimenta, an iso file has the filesystem on it and if you try to burn it to a cd you will have the overhead of an iso file system twice so you should burn as image to disk [00:34] only ~745 on a 700 CD-R [00:34] <[fade]> paipimenta buy a dvd [00:34] is there something I can do to reset it so that it will see the karmic release again and I can finish installing?

[00:55] yes [00:55] does anyone know what happened to the karmic beta of UNR on http://cdimage.ubuntu.com ? there's only the link to the dailies now [00:55] dave, how is there support if i type the same question 3 times and this is the most response i have gotten [00:56] ryuuku: Maybe no one knows the answer. I personally don't know what ubuntu-it is. [00:56] ryuuku, maybe the people who read the question don't know the answer === ken__ is now known as IndyGunFreak [00:57] ryuuku, you need to be patient until someone can help you, we all are volunteers here [00:57] trying to resolve a problem by removing some files that are under the owner "root" any suggestions? [00:58] i understand your all volantiers but i have had 2 people tell me they could help and only one is doing anything [00:58] blenderpc, there are ways with super user privledges [00:58] blenderpc, meaning sudo [00:58] I've been trying that but I'm clearly doing something wrong. :-) [00:59] I am not all that familiar with the language so I am probably typing it wrong [00:59] hello can anyone help me to use my bult in webcam? thanks!!! [00:59] blenderpc, well first of all what are yout rying to remove a file or a directory [00:59] I know its a couple of xorg.config files to try to reset my display settings [00:59] I am tryin to get my wireless connection going from the command line without gui running. I ain't having any luck. I tried to use ps aux to find what the gui was doing but evidently I can't find all the processes that occur, Can some one give me a command to run to start the wireless connection? [00:59] hello can anyone help me to use my built in webcam? thanks! [01:00] <[fade]> ed give more informations [01:00] blenderpc, sudo rm will do the trick but becareful [01:00] Files on my desktop disappear after a few seconds, however when I list files in the directory from the command line they all appear. It says "Cannot access Fathom.rar Stale NFS file handle" I'm assuming this is the cause. How can I repair the directory/file? [01:00] blenderpc, I ahve to go; sudo rm /path/file [01:00] <[fade]> w30 use iwlist [01:00] thanks Fearful [01:00] I appreciate the FREE HELP! [01:00] What size should I make my /boot partition when installing? [01:00] fade i want to use my webcam to take photos like in an apple notebook [01:01] ryuuku: ubuntu-it is a firefox extension? [01:01] <[fade]> then connect with ifconfig wlan0 .... [01:01] blenderpc, your welcome [01:01] ctmjr-yes [01:01] <[fade]> ed so what is your question? [01:01] [fade], just iwlist or do I need flags with that? [01:01] <[fade]> iwlist wlan0 scan < scan for networks [01:01] ryuuku: then disable it in firefox if it is not working [01:02] fade can you help me to get my webcam to work so i can take pictures with it? [01:02] <[fade]> ifconfig < to conect to network [01:02] Is there anything nice and easy like Fedora's liveusb-creator tool to do the same with ubuntu? I'd rather not have a separate distro on my laptop and on my stick, but the instructions I've seen for ubuntu are... convoluted [01:02] <[fade]> just plug it in [01:02] [fade], ok thank you [01:02] <[fade]> take pictures with what? [01:02] with the camera [01:02] ctmjr- it works but it takes me to the italian help and support pages [01:02] <[fade]> just plug the camera in [01:02] <[fade]> the usb port [01:03] <[fade]> and take pictures with it [01:03] its built in like i said before [01:03] <[fade]> what model is it? [01:03] im using a laptop with a built in camera on top of the screen [01:03] install and open gnome cheese [01:03] hp dv9000 [01:03] [fade]: You usually can't just tell the computer to take a picture. This ain't startrek :P [01:04] <[fade]> Keiya i know, you have to start your command with sudo computer take a pic :) [01:04] Keiya: I'm sure you can. Cron + picture command should be easy enough. [01:04] <[fade]> ed have you downloaded some programs used to obtains videos from camera? [01:04] yea [01:04] i tried to use camorama [01:04] <[fade]> what did it report? [01:04] coulnt connect to the video device [01:05] /dev/video0 [01:05] <[fade]> i see [01:05] ed: have you checked for any kind of ubuntu support for your device or do you not know what kind it is? [01:06] ryuuku: its a built in webcam, yes i tried googling but i didnt get any usefull info [01:06] ed: have you tried looking up the system specs of your model of laptop? [01:06] I get 1.5s lag spikes on my usb wifi adapter precisely every 120 seconds, what can I do to diagnose this further? [01:06] ed: try `dmesg | grep camera` [01:06] ed: that needs to be run in bash/terminal. [01:07] hey guys, i have Radeon HD3850 and i have two different screens and they are working fine, but things are very slow without the activated catalyst drivers. With these i cannot set the two monitors in the dual mode. can anyone help? [01:07] ATTENTION: members in indonesia and the sub continent would be HIGHLY well advised to leave NOW there looks to be a tsunami heading toward you [01:07] jonLappy: nothing happened, should i try as root? [01:07] ed: no [01:08] jonLappy: any other suggestions? [01:08] ed: So there isn't any way to unplug the webcam and plug it in.. that would make this easier. [01:08] jonLappy: lol no, im using a laptop its built into de screen [01:08] ed: right. How about replace camera with video and try running that? [01:09] ryuuku: thats what is is suppose to do according to the info https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4684 it is a firefox add-on [01:09] ed: have you looked for your system specs it will tell you most of the hardware you have [01:09] http://www.newser.com/story/71193/south-pacific-earthquakes-trigger-tsunami-alert.html [01:09] jonLappy: didnt understand.. [01:09] ctmjr: its just a firefox add-on for ubuntu help and support [01:09] ryuuku: if he can see it getting loaded in dmesg we will know if he has the drivers for it. [01:10] ed: `dmesg|grep video' [01:10] yes but my way is so much faster and works for evey os ever made [01:10] this may be toe wrong place to ask, but are there any cryptography related channels on freenode, the LIST command seems to be disabled here [01:11] [ 65.675881] Linux video capture interface: v2.00 [01:11] [ 66.149872] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device HP Webcam (04f2:b023) [01:11] [ 66.159218] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo [01:11] Can anyone help me with setting up an Apache server on Ubuntu?

[01:11] ed, good its UVC [01:11] Hey all, anyone ever performance have issues when ssh'ing TO an Ubuntu box? I just set up sshd on my ubuntu box at work and trying to SSH from home -- holy crap it's slow... [01:11] i use rythmebox [01:11] how does one run an application from an .iso image, when one can't burn the .iso? [01:12] dave----: what does uvc means? [01:12] ryuuku: if you are having trouble with it email the author if he/she posted it [01:12] is it possible? [01:12] ok thanks [01:12] I've liked that one too ryuuku [01:12] ed: did you get it? [01:12] ryuuku: yeah, ill pm u the info [01:12] ed: your webcam should work. Now type in `sudo apt-get install cheese` (or is cheese preinstalled?) [01:13] hi everyone [01:13] hi nikitta [01:14] I'd like to install 2 ubuntus on my computer, a "basic" Kubuntu to work, and a "ubuntu studio" for making music [01:14] ed the linux kernel will support most UVC webcams [01:14] is there any thing hard about that? [01:15] Something I should know... Should I install first the "basic" ubuntu? === gusan0r is now known as Gusan0r [01:16] Nikitta, theres no reason you can't do that.. even keep the two in separate distributions on your hdd. But, why not just install the audio stuff you need on your kubuntu installation? [01:16] is there a way to get eclipse ganymeade into jaunty .... [01:17] anyone ever install sshd on ubuntu? Was it slow as crap out of the box? [01:17] yes i have [01:17] rotzak, yes and no [01:17] sshd works for me [01:17] (slow as crap) No i can pull over 15 MB/s from it [01:17] Nikitta: Nothing really hard about it, some reading and printing will help, is like hda1 and hda2 , but I need to read up on that also. [01:17] Howdy! I have about 400 pdfs to combine using pdftk. They are all named showfile(###).pdf--is there a shortcut way to do this rather than type all in individually? [01:18] it works...it's just really f'ing slow...like 1 keystroke taks probable 1/2 sec to send accross [01:18] Yondering: Well, I belive there are some things that are optimized in ubuntu studio such as sound and midi latency. It is possible to implement it from a standard ubuntu but harder (from what I understood) [01:18] (slow as crap) rotzak can you be more explicit? [01:18] rotzak, try sshing from localhost, then from another machine on same ethernet [01:18] Nikitta, you would be correct there [01:18] see if it's any faster [01:18] I don't have physical access to the machine right now so... === ichat is now known as ichat[AFK] [01:19] mm, ping it? [01:19] can someone tell me how to use an xorg.config file to restore back to a prior display setting? [01:19] im getting "[Firmware Bug]: ACPI : Invalid BIOS _PSS frequency : 0x0 MHz" from beta.. anyone know why? both on live and alternate === shawn_ is now known as Shawn_ [01:20] Nikitta, the only difficulties I can forsee with doing this, is that you need to be careful with your partition layouts, and your grub installation may give you trouble before you're able to access both installations. [01:20] ? [01:20] blenderpc: if it was the last saved setting you should have a backup saved on your computer. [01:20] blenderpc: try this sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg then reboot [01:20] Yondering: Ok, I belive you're right, that hardest will be the grub [01:21] im happy how is every one else? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [01:23] Nikitta: Yondering just tagged it, if slice/partition is hda1 and Ubuntu Studio is hda2, should work fine, I know I had it working once, Edgy and Debian. [01:23] is there a way to make wireshark work with wifi interfaces? [01:23] social=happy [01:23] vigo: ok, thank you [01:23] Nikitta, just keep backups of your /boot/grub/menu.lst files. The easiest thing to do may be to install grub from one on the mbr of the drive and another grub installation for the second distro, installed on the boot or root partition of said installation. If that made sense. o_0 [01:23] hi [01:23] hello people.... I want to move and resize my /dev/sda2 Linux LVM partition [01:24] so that the partition in fdisk shows changes, NOT an LVM component (vg, lv, pv) [01:24] wouldn't gdm do that? [01:25] er, gpm. whatever it's called now. ;) [01:25] Yondering: I belive it does. It's just that I don't remember exacly the options when installing grub. I did not remember I had choice between MBR and Root. Probably cuz I've never had to worry about this [01:26] Hey there [01:26] hi shinedown [01:26] hi ryuuku [01:27] shinedown: how are you? [01:27] I have an other question though. I'd also like to have access to windows from ubuntu, via virtualBox. The two questions are : "is windows slower and it is, how much slower" and "Do I need to leave an empty partition for windows or it will install somewhere like in /home"? [01:27] ryuuku I'm fine but i start to go crazy with my usb-problem on ubuntu [01:28] shinedown: what happened? [01:28] shinedown: just reg fail [01:28] Nikitta, I don't think it gives you the choice during installation. You'll likely need to install, boot to one, and enter grub from a console. Once there, use setup (hd0,1) ( or whichever parition you want to install grub on) instead of (hd0,0). hd0,0 refers to the mbr of your primary hard disk, if I remember correctly. I'd suggest doing a man grub and reading it thoroughly. [01:28] Nikitta: to the second, no you don't need to leave a partition, but it is possible to boot an existing windows install...to the first, well, yes it's slower, by how much is hardware dependent [01:29] Howdy! I have about 400 pdfs to combine using pdftk. They are all named showfile(###).pdf--is there a shortcut way to do this rather than type all in individually? [01:29] hello im trying to get my computer screen to show on my tv with a vga cable any ideas? [01:29] Nikitta, when you run VB, you create a disk file (.vdi) file [01:29] rods: I don't recall pdftk syntax. What would the command be for 3 pdfs? [01:29] <[-Blacksword-]> good afternoon, how goes? [01:29] and then install the OS to it [01:29] DigitalKiwi: ok, thanks [01:29] is there a mirc clone for ubuntu?? [01:29] ed: no signal? [01:29] chevelle0909: Try xchat [01:29] rods: ok :) [01:30] ryuuku ubuntu refuses to detect my mp3 player. I asked few people and found out that with lsusb in the console it detected the mp3 player but i still don't know how to use it [01:30] ryuuku: [01:30] jrib pdftk a.pdf b.pdf c.pdf cat out.pdf [01:30] Hi everybody [01:30] jrib but I'm not wanting to do all 400 that way :-D [01:30] Files on my desktop disappear after a few seconds, however when I list files in the directory from the command line they all appear. It says "Cannot access Fathom.rar Stale NFS file handle" I'm assuming this is the cause. How can I repair the directory/file? [01:30] rods: can't you just glob them? Or does globbing not produce the right order? [01:30] I believe there are threads on ubuntu forums for using an existing partition with vbox, though it is easiest to just run it from the .vdi it gives by default [01:30] Yondering: Or, that scares me a bit, but I guess it shouldn't [01:30] jrib I'm not familiar with globbing [01:30] Or = Ok [01:30] rods: try: echo showfile*.pdf [01:30] Nikitta: Far as I know, Windows installs first, hda0, Ubuntu next, hda1, then Studio hda2 , I do know I had a heck of a time installing Windows on a pure Linux box, but it can and was done. [01:31] rods: see if that gives you the output you would want [01:31] <[-Blacksword-]> wondering if i can get some guidence... my googlefu is starting to fail me. [01:31] are there any drivers for zune on linux? [01:31] Nikitta, if you try to do this, you're going to get familiar with the grub shell anyway. You might as well educate yourself beforehand. ;) [01:31] popeye: dont believe so, but you can use a windows VM in virtualbox (see virtualbox.org) [01:31] jrib what should that be showing me [01:31] i have been using Ubuntu for a week now, its a great OS, is there an alternitive to adobe pacages, im interested in indesign and illustrater [01:32] rods: All the files in the current directory of the form showfile*.pdf where * is anything [01:32] thanks maco [01:32] k [01:32] I am having problems with 9.10 and sound. For some reason when a sound plays for the first time ,in about 2 minutes of no sound, it makes a loud popping noise out of my speakers. Is this something that people have been experiencing? [01:32] I have been to the forums and I could not find much on it. [01:32] vigo: Ok, great. I belive it's easier to install windows from virtualbox though. So that's what I might do [01:33] jrib yeah it pops it out [01:33] jrib not in order but that can be taken care of [01:33] if anyone just wants to talk feel free to PM me kk [01:33] rods: yeah, just use sort or whatever [01:33] Yondering: good point :). I'll do it. But what scares me is that I won't have internet when I'm stuck in grub consol ;) [01:33] Alen: Get stuff from the repo when it's in there, so that's add/remove synaptic or apt-get commands, however these sites are good for giving you a good idea what's available as alternatives to commercial software http://www.osalt.com http://www.linuxeq.com and you can get a lot of stuff working well in Wine, and with enough RAM you can run Windows inside Ubuntu [01:33] infexion: all 9.10 questions should be asked in #ubuntu+1 [01:34] Nikitta: Yes, and what Yonder said about reading up on GRUB2 will definitely be an asset and avoid alot of mistakes. [01:34] Nikitta -- I run a VB Windows XP--only bad part is getting it synched with M$ [01:34] ctmjr: thanks [01:34] <[-Blacksword-]> i installed ubuntu last night, i was planning on dual booting it with windows 7. it installed smoothly and was running great. Tried to reboot back into windows and somwhere along the line the windows boot manager got hosed. === a1g_ is now known as a1g [01:35] <[-Blacksword-]> I expected this, so i attempted to repair it to the point where i could use grub to dual boot [01:35] Ok, well, all that sounds very good and easy. I'll give it a try tomorrow [01:35] how do i remove the splashscreen? i installed gnome-splashscreen-manager, and removed it. but now there is still a splash [01:35] <[-Blacksword-]> after trying for a few hours to get windows to boot, not grub is hosed and i cant reboot into linux :/ [01:35] maybe someone here who knows what to do? [01:36] im a newbie ya me [01:36] ctmjr: where? [01:37] How do I burn an .avi to a DVD? [01:37] <[-Blacksword-]> any suggestions aside from a full wipe/reinstall [01:38] manifest1 do you want it to play in a dvd player or just want it on a dvd [01:38] where do I go to ask questions about Karmic Koala? [01:38] ryuuku: PLay it in a DVD player [01:38] idk sorry [01:38] !karmic [01:38] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [01:39] Anyone know how I would burn an .avi file to a DVD to watch it in a DVD player? [01:39] peace [01:40] im out [01:40] Manifest1: DeVeDe always works flawlessly for me === Manifest1 is now known as Manifest [01:40] {-Blacksword-] : fix-grub, maybe [01:40] Manifest1: you need to convert it and using DeVeDe would be the easiest solutino [01:40] hello [01:40] ryuuku where are you from? [01:40] graelin: Alright, I'll give it a try thank you. === iTroll is now known as Guest60244 [01:40] out of interest [01:40] bastid_raZor: How do I convert it? [01:40] Is there a way to tell which mount point a given directory is in e.g. my desktop directory === mike is now known as Guest22178 [01:41] Does anyone have/use freevo with a WinTV 1600 HVR card? #freevo seems a ghost town, and I need major help getting TV working [01:41] specifically the local_conf.py options [01:42] olá galera [01:42] graelin: I have an hvr1800 and afaik the chipset is only half supported [01:42] olá [01:42] hello [01:42] hello [01:43] i have a blocked update, how do i unblock it? [01:43] Manifest: in DeVeDe it is self explanatory. select the file and convert. then burn with your favorite burning application [01:43] well can U explain it a little more? [01:43] Kraln: You sure about that? I get analog and digital in separate programs... just not freevo. I'm fairly sure its a config problem, but could also be a freevo/driver thing [01:43] hey all i got a problem with my wireless randomly dropping any suggestions? [01:43] I've had a bad time trying to use "remote desktop" functionality "vinagre" lately [01:43] hvr1600 and 1800 may be different chipsets [01:44] hey i got my laptop screen to show on my tv however there's a missing piece of image on the left side, how can i adjust it? thanks! [01:44] I think it's been screwed up, based on the fact I have failed to make it work having spent a long time seeking documentation and support [01:44] I wish I could get some expert help making remote desktop work [01:44] Kraln: could be.. but I understand an 1800 to be a 1600... just PCIe [01:44] is there anyone that knows iptables there? [01:45] is anyone able to use "remote desktop" without expertise and configuration file "voodoo"? [01:45] or if you had to struggle, can you share the arcane secrets of using "remote desktop"? [01:45] How do I figure out what type of file system an external hd has? [01:46] jonLappy: you're planning to format an external HD? [01:46] balzac: are you connecting into your linux or out to another machine? [01:46] mb_again_: I'd like to do both. [01:46] balzac: nope, nevermind. I was trying to mount it. [01:46] I'm working with a colleague [01:47] balzac: actually in gentoo. :P fdisk ftw [01:47] jonLappy: ok [01:47] Thank you all for your help [01:47] good night [01:47] mb_again_: thanks for responding. I try not to whine but I used to be able to use vinagre [01:47] i'm wondering what happened to the package "ogle". it was present up to intrepid, but got killed in jaunty. how do i get that back? [01:47] is there anyway to have the mice not wake up the screen? (only key board input wake up the screen)? i have a really really sensistive mice [01:48] hey i got my laptop screen to show on my tv however there's a missing piece of image on the left side, how can i adjust it? thanks! [01:48] balzac: have had good success outgoing from linux to a windows RDP server with the remote tool that comes with ubuntu out of the box. all that is needed is to allow the connectino port through the firewalls involved [01:48] I have a stale file handle in my desktop directory, what do I need to unmount/mount to repair it? [01:48] ed: nvidia? if so, use the proprietary driver and nvidia-settings ap [01:48] mb_again_: do you use a command-line tool for firewall configuration? [01:49] i'm not trying to admin a windows machine from ubuntu [01:49] i want to set up the server on the colleague's ubuntu machine so I can remotely administer her machine [01:49] graelin: yes im playing with the driver settings but i cant find a way to "move" the image on my tv [01:49] balzac: in to linux, not so good. I have a headless box beside me that I can export x windows to my main machine and monitor via ssh port forward (a default setting easily enabled) nothing else [01:50] it's a very useful "social feature" of ubuntu that used to work. I think it's critical functionality. [01:50] I'd say the Ubuntu package maintainers lose a few points on this fail. [01:50] it used to work for me. [01:51] hey does anyone know why video streaming from the internet doesnt work anymore? [01:51] either that or the documentation team dropped the ball because I can't find any solid documentation on it. [01:52] hey i got my laptop screen to show on my tv however there's a missing piece of image on the left side, how can i adjust it? thanks! [01:52] hi [01:53] there's an advanced configuration screen which was removed from the remote desktop server config dialog [01:53] did linux screw up with adobe flash players or something [01:53] tightvnc has weak documentation too. It might be comprehensive, but it's all mixed together. I feel like i'm a bird trying to pick a few berries from a pile of elephant dung. [01:54] balzac: took me a minute to remember. from your own machine running any X server, ssh -X to the target machine. You will then have a command line. if you then activate any gui program, like this "firefox &" the window will open on your own desktop. It's not remote desktop, but should be excellent for admin support [01:54] I have a remote pc upgraded from 9.04 to karmic which fails to boot into x and also shows some boot errors, how can I see those errors from a ssh session ? [01:54] mb_again_: thanks for the clue [01:54] can I do that with gnome desktop? [01:54] ssh -X; gnome-desktop & [01:55] balzac: there is a gotcha, if your own machine has tight security on the X server, you may have to open it up to allow the remote session in. [01:55] balzac: an intersting idea ... [01:55] balzac: you are trying to remote into someone elses ubuntu box? Did they setup via System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop? [01:55] Casper0082: I tried [01:56] "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network." [01:56] I bet it is a firewall issue then. I know I used remote desktop in 9.04 [01:56] I researched that [01:56] balzac: that does not appear to be an application [01:56] and found a bunch of hairy recommendations [01:56] I used it to connect to a friends comp via the internet. [01:56] mb_again_: I was just trying to guess [01:57] Casper0082: what firewall configuration utility do you use? [01:57] with jaunty, is it possible to install packages from the intrepid repository? or is that unsafe? [01:57] balzac: I am talking about their routers firewall [01:57] Geheimdienst: it's not recommended [01:57] cable modem, dsl modem etc [01:57] Casper0082: that's a good idea [01:58] So I'll look up documentation on these doohickeys and see if I can open up port 5900 on each [01:58] I think they need to port forward 5900 iirc [01:58] yes [01:58] First I'll get my server opened up, then I'll help my colleague [01:58] thanks Casper0082, mb_again_ [01:59] distrohopper: ok, thank you [01:59] Hi, can someone help me find the proper driver for my Atheros network device? [02:00] balzac: only the one accepting the connection really needs it forwarded, but it would be useful to open yours and have them try to connect to you (if they are not familiar with port forwarding) [02:00] GautamaBuddha: Is it an onboard network device or a USB one? [02:00] ok, thanks [02:00] hello guys, how will I share a folder in xp running in virualbox in ubuntu, to get it in ubuntu filesystem ? [02:00] mnaines it is an onboard device [02:00] mnaines I believe it is an AtherosEG5007 or soemthing like that [02:01] Just wanted to stop by and thank those who helped me with my display issue...it has been resolved after following the advice I got here! Thanks again [02:01] GautamaBuddha: What kind of laptop is it? [02:01] mnaines its a Toshiba Satellite [02:01] hi .. .what is a good music player for Ubuntu that supports m4a 's [02:01] I got a Satellite, too, but mine uses Intel drivers [02:01] I created a shared folder in virtualbox and move all data to Shared Documents in XP, but still can't find it within ubuntu [02:01] Satallite A215 [02:01] does any body else see obvious problems in the xubutu documentation were it covers listen player and mtp players? [02:01] Mine's an A205 [02:02] I want to find a driver that will allow packet injection [02:02] GautamaBuddha: The Intel drivers I have support injection automatically [02:03] GautamaBuddha: I just have to modprobe to the ipwraw drivers [02:03] mnaines I was using airmon-ng and it was telling me that my device didn't support injection [02:03] GautamaBuddha: Yeah...Its not the drivers...Its the card itself...That particular card isn't supported [02:03] I was looking at a table about my device and it showed that it is capable of injection with the right driver [02:03] oh damn [02:03] it says Open Applications → Multimedia → Listen Music Player.#Click Edit → Plugins, but that is not an option in listen player [02:04] so, if I wanted to do injection, I'd need to buy a new network card? [02:04] I just install 9.10 beta, I wonder where is the menu.lst file? I cannot find it in /boot/grub. [02:04] GautamaBuddha: Most Atheros cards won't work with BackTrack 3...Intel drivers, D-Link, and Linksys are the only three drivers that have injection capabilites [02:04] yoga : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion. [02:05] mnaines lame, ok thanks [02:05] how do I see the boot log ? [02:05] I also have another question. Is it possible for me to install linux, then add software to my harddrive, then make a new live cd that will run live with that new software? [02:05] GautamaBuddha: The D-Link WUA1310 wireless USB dongle is the best one to use [02:05] mnaines thank you === Berzerker_ is now known as Berzerker- [02:06] GautamaBuddha: Make sure you download the RaLink rt75 drivers for that card. The rt75 drivers support injection [02:06] wow, yoga AND Gautama Buddha [02:06] having a problem with nvidia drivers, just installed 185, and now my screen flickers and can't startx, with no screens found [02:07] mnaines awesome, you rock [02:07] how would one get the drivers for an mtp player in xubuntu, the documentation is very unclear [02:07] * mnaines uses BackTrack 3 [02:07] hello [02:08] Berzerker-: use the 180 drivers...Those are the most recent stable drivers [02:08] Is it possible for me to install linux, then add software to my harddrive, then make a new live cd that will run live with that new software? [02:08] mnaines, how do I uninstall the current drivers from a console [02:09] Berzerker-: Sorry. I do not know how to do it from the console. [02:09] * mnaines is too new to Linux to know console commands [02:10] any of you knw the chat room name of qt? [02:11] <[-Blacksword-]> i guess a new question.,. i have to do a fresh install of windows 7 and ububtu.. the partition table and mbr are beyond hosed.. any suggestion on the installation order? [02:11] <[-Blacksword-]> or suggestions on how i can dual boot adn not have this issue again? [02:11] win 7 then ubuntu [02:11] [-Blacksword-]: I would install Ubuntu first, so that GRUB can handle the boot manager [02:12] Hi: If there are any +1's in here can you come into the Ubuntu+1 room and give us a hand. Ta [02:12] <[-Blacksword-]> windows will overwrite grub when i install it [02:12] what is +1 [02:12] #ubuntu+1 [02:12] [-Blacksword-]: windows then ubuntu [02:12] [-Blacksword-]: Connect one hard drive at a time. Install Linux on one, then install Windows 7 on the other, making sure not to connect both drives until after the operating systems are installed [02:12] yes thats why you need to install windows 7 first then ubuntu and install ubuntu manually or side by side option if you don't know what your doing [02:13] hey i want to join the qt chat room, but when i go to list rooms and type qt, not getting any list, it's telling 0 rooms [02:13] +1 is Karmic Koala. fixes. [02:13] [-Blacksword-]: I did it using one drive at a time, and it let me choose what operating system I wanted because both drives had their own MBR [02:13] nic1: try /join #qt [02:14] not able to join qt room [02:14] <[-Blacksword-]> i guess is it possible to isntall ubuntu through windows? to prevent issues like this from happening again? [02:14] when i type for qt in list rooms or any thing even ubuntu, i am getting 0 rooms [02:14] tar -xvf fire-3.5.3.tar.bz2 can someone tell me the RIGHT way to do this i don't understand the --help page [02:14] any one knows what can i do? [02:15] is python pymedia in the repository, or is there one I should add [02:15] hey guys! Im getting random screen freezes but my mouse pointer still moves, any ideas on whats happening? thank you! [02:15] [-Blacksword-]: I never had a problem when I installed using one drive at a time...Plug in one drive, install Ubuntu, then disconnect that one and plug in the second one and install Windows 7. DO NOT connect both until after you install both operating systems. That will give each drive its own partition table and MBR, allowing you to choose between the operating systems and it will prevent problems like that [02:15] Doc_Lappy: tar -xjvf fire...... [02:15] i thought it was -xvf that i always used but think the file ext is different than the files i usually do that with [02:15] k thanks nightrid3r [02:16] <[-Blacksword-]> they way my setup is im not sure if instlling one drive at a time is a valid option [02:16] I want to use duplicity for making a backup of selected files only. So I created a list of files to pass the file to duplicity. But duplicity doesnt accept this list without a path name and exits for me with "only specifies that files be included. Because the default is to include all files, the expression is redundant. Exiting because this probably isn't what you meant." How can I manage this? [02:17] [-Blacksword-]: All you have to do is unplug both drives then plug in one drive at a time until both operating systems are installed. No need to remove the drives themselves [02:18] mnaines: what do you use as your boot loader when you do that or do you just use the bios to select the boot drive? Seems like that shouldn't work [02:18] um chat só pra linux? [02:18] are win32codecs in the repositories? [02:18] !pt | binho [02:18] binho: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [02:18] Casper0082: You let the BIOS handle it. Because both drives have master boot records, the BIOS lets you choose between them when the computer starts up [02:18] saulus, provide full paths? [02:19] !medibuntu | kanuha [02:19] kanuha: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [02:19] mnaines: That seems more like a cheap hack than using grub [02:19] hello! Im getting random screen freezes but my mouse pointer still moves, any ideas on whats happening? thank you! [02:19] usser: the file contains the full path to every file that shall be backed up [02:19] usser, thx [02:19] Casper0082: Yes, but it is more stable than grub because if one drive fails you can still boot the computer [02:20] I still would recommend win7 then ubuntu so that grub will automatically add win to the boot loader [02:20] mnaines: C'mon.. grub NEVER fails [02:20] usser: when I provide full pathes (like /home/someuser/) I also back up videos and stuff. I dont want that [02:21] mnaines: not an issue if you backup your system. I'd rather use grub with a backup than lose a drive with data... [02:21] Hi - I just installed Karmic, and I can't get network-manager to work. When I try to connect to a wireless network, the network-manager icon disappears. Can anyone help?

I have MANY wav files that need to be normalized (I wouldn't mind also converting them to mp3 in one sweep, although using lame after is no big problem) [02:30] kegger: look up samba [02:30] IdleOne: I don't recall one, sorry. [02:30] sorry, not my intent [02:31] usser: thank god I used python for my task.

[02:54] oh wait nvm... this is 9.04 [02:54] * Ollonk facepalms [02:54] I have a question regarding ftp and dosbox [02:55] snapalm: what kind of driver are u talking about [02:55] snapalm: what driver did you activate? [02:55] pornstar: Reboot and choose it off the grub menu [02:55] ATI graphics, something along that line [02:55] good evening EST. is there a way i can force evolution to do a sync with google calendar instead of just waiting for evolution to automatically sync? [02:55] i have strange problem , i got toshiba satellite A300-29N laptop , and ubuntu installer and gparted doesn't see my partitions and show my 320 gb unpartitioned and i can open partitions with File Manager "Nautilus " on live cd !! , and partitions works fine on windows vista !? [02:56] I JUST PLAYED A WHOLE SONG WITHOUT A SINGLE FREEZE, THE ONLY DIFFERENT THING IM DOING IS KEEPING THE KERN LOG OPEN.. WEIRD.. [02:56] snapalm: go to hardware drivers and disable it [02:56] * papermachine doublechecks. [02:56] !caps | pornstar [02:56] pornstar: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [02:56] snapalm: when loading... choose recovery mode from grub menu.. you'll get basic vga and terrible resolution, but you can remove the driver and/or tweak X a bit [02:57] Ive set up samba on the server and checked it with webmin, when i try and connect through windows on Network it shows the server when i go on there i cant view any files or add files to it, and its writable [02:57] fccf: bah [02:57] Oh, I lied. This is still Jackalope. Got my animals confused. [02:57] k will try now [02:57] Might be a BIOS problem though? I'll play with it in a bit. Thanks for the advice. [02:58] pornstar: Assuming you are using ext2/ext3 filesystem I would run e2fsck -f -c -v /dev/sda1 (replace /dev/sda1 with your drive/partition). This will force a check for bad blocks. [02:58] pornstar: from a live cd (without the drive in question mounted) === pengemis|away is now known as pengemis [02:58] I try to run a python script over and over again in a bash script, but after a while the python script seems to stop working. It doens't matter whatever I restart the bash script. The python script still doesn't begin to work again. What is happening? [02:58] ugh, something went wrong, might relate to my second problem. To get Ubuntu to properly load i have to add acpi=off to the boot options otherwise it wont load at all [02:59] Any chance of help at all? [02:59] Casper0082: memtest checks for bad blocks aswell right? [02:59] but i can't get the recovery graphics thing to work when adding acpi=off, just get the same command line [03:00] snapalm: are you talking about xfix from the recovery console [03:00] pornstar: memtest will check for memory (RAM) for errors. You need to check your hard drive [03:01] need help with my radoen 3850. cant do dual mode with two screens with the ati drivers. anybody aware of a solution? [03:01] Is there any way to force the CPU governor to max all the time [03:02] I set it to "performance" from the panel plugin, but it still remains at 800mhz [03:02] rather than 1200 mhz [03:02] dave1231: you might get better help in #ati ... please be patient there though [03:02] hi i need help on settingup thin cliens with ubuntu [03:02] Ollonk: Why would you want to? The point is to reduce power consumption if you don't need the power. You could disable it in BIOS if it doesn't suite your needs [03:02] Casper0082: can i run a hd test from grub? [03:02] fgrlx fails it says, then it just freezes at a screwed up version of the acer bios splash [03:02] fccf: k thx [03:02] is there a command to open the file manager from the terminal ??? [03:02] this is running from recovery [03:03] anyone can help me? [03:03] pornstar: no. You could run it from a terminal but I would recommend from a live cd without that drive mounted [03:03] Ollonk: see here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248867 [03:03] graelin: My CPU maxes when I scroll down a web page but doesn't clock up, when I can manage to get it at 1200 mhz, I can browse smoothly, but only for an instant [03:03] I'm rarely on battery power, also [03:03] malcor: I'd double check that you have /etc/samba/smb.conf setup correctly [03:05] I'm just wondering if there's a command line i can use to disable this graphics driver and get the desktop to load [03:05] prajjwal: nautilus [03:05] fccf, I think I should be in #xubuntu, neither of those packages were installed XD [03:05] thanks though [03:05] snapalm: file manager or desktop manager?

[03:09] Okay, I'm getting confused here so I'll try and word my problem better. To get Ubuntu to load at all I have to add 'acpi=off' to the kernal in the GRUB menu though that's not my problem right now. What I did was activate this ATI Graphics Driver to see if i could get some desktop effects to work and after restarting it would not load a GUI at all, just a command line interface. [03:09] i mean in grafic like vista [03:09] How do I get the most latest version of python installed [03:09] I'm working on it [03:09] exe, 2.6 or 3.0? [03:09] Ubuntu has an old version, while 2.7 has been released. [03:09] after running one of the commands, I've been sitting at 1.2ghz under no CPU load [03:10] i try loading recovery but i get the same problem [03:10] snapalm: lets fix your graphics first "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [03:10] I'll finish the tut and see if it works on boot [03:10] THOMAS? [03:10] exe, since 2.7 isn't in the ubuntu repos, then it's not supported by the ubuntu crew. python.org probably has a way to manually install 2.7, though [03:11] exe: you may find a newer version in the ppa's https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas [03:11] exe, it looks like 2.7 is in alpha/PEP stage. no wonder it's not supported: it doesn't exist yet!

[03:14] mamo78: any ideas? is there any way to being the install while 95 is loaded? === D-rew is now known as D-blazed [03:15] stepan_: WUBI install? I don't know, cuz I've never looked at anything other than a usb install [03:15] but isn't WUBI for windows use/install? [03:16] pornstar, have you got a small amount of memory and no swap partition? [03:16] be back in a couple minutes, rebooting [03:16] oh great, I can't even get an oppotunity to type anything in the command line before it freezes... [03:16] graelin: great idea. thanks, ill give it a shot [03:17] <_Techie_> is there a way i can set a modifier button for scrolling with my trackpad? [03:17] stepan_ yup just like graelin say wubi install [03:18] mamo78: will give it a shot, thanks for your help guys [03:19] :D [03:19] thanks guys [03:19] something tells me I'm going to have to do a clean install. Just when I had everything set up more or less... If I cant even access the command line interface not much i can do [03:19] i did use wubi to install my old laptop too [03:19] that worked like a charm [03:19] the extra 50% in CPU speed brought my boot time down even more [03:19] or not...... [03:19] at the very least, performance does what it's supposed to now [03:20] anyone can help me with thin client? my client freeze alot every 10-30 minutes [03:20] WOW... I actually helped fix something?!?!? gimme a pen and the calender [03:20] * Ollonk gives graelin [03:20] lol [03:20] lol uberscript [03:20] mamo78: could it be because the server is getting inundated and cannot take the load?? [03:20] Quid Pro Quo... ok.. wave your magic wand and make my video capture card play nice with Freevo [03:20] stepan_: doesn't unetbootin provide a way to boot without requirining a cd? http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [03:21] mamo78: question, wubi will just stay as an addon right? there will be no way to get rid of the windows installation after that? === ohdediku is now known as register === register is now known as Guest31703 [03:22] losha: i'll give that a try too, but i think my comp wont recognize the usb durring boot either [03:22] Ah screw it, I'll just do a clean install and sort out a minor problem afterwards. Annoyingly I only have 8.04 availible to install... oh well [03:22] fccf: my server is core 2 duo with 4 gig of ram. using ubuntu 9.04 and using xrdp to let the client to coonect [03:22] quick question: how would i go about flushing out the Nautilus file browser stack so it isnt sucking up a gig of memory? === jabagawee_ is now known as jabagawee [03:23] snapalm: what happened? [03:23] stepan_: one of the options with unetbootin is to allow an install from a downloaded iso direct to the hard drive, no usb, no cd-rom... [03:23] mamo78: the xrdp is embedded? .. [03:23] snapalm: 8.04 is ideal. Extremely stable & trouble free... [03:24] losha: cool, that should be perfect. thanks, i will definatly try this [03:24] anyone know of a thread/faq for trimming boot time? [03:24] fccf: i just install xrdp after finishing update ubuntu [03:24] I suppose... I'll do it after some sleep though [03:24] first 2 hour working fine then its disaster [03:24] well since no one answered in kubuntu. what are your views with making the home partition ntfs to share with vista? [03:25] mamo79: I'm not sure I would trust 9.04 for a Thin Client Server ... 8.04 LTS is more appropriate for that kind of applicaton [03:25] mamo78: a little confused.... you have an embedded rdc on the Thin Client? or what is it starting from? [03:25] stepan_: the windows still there [03:26] snarkster: I'd prefer to keep linux linux.. if you need to share data between OSes... make a share partition that is NTFS. [03:26] a [03:26] mamo78: yes, windows 95 is still fully functional, but 95 being functional just means notepad and calcuator ;-) [03:27] hmm well im reinstalling vista just for gaming.. very tired of fighting wine. [03:27] snarkster i dont think it will work having an ntfs as /home partition, try it [03:28] ok [03:28] snarkster: no, ntfs permissions are different ... wouldn't work as a /home partition [03:28] snarkster: Also there is a possibility that NTFS won't play nice (ie. there is some suggestions that it doesn't play nice when writing to NTFS) I'd hate to hose my home dir that contains every config for all the software I run [03:28] does anyone here knows how to interpret a kernel log? [03:28] i wasnt sure if linux had caught up with being able to do that [03:28] how to install man in Ubuntu ? [03:28] fccf: im using sunde thin client (similar like ncomputing thin client), and works ok with windows but freeze alot with windows.. only 15 user login to the host. check the products on our website [03:29] snarkster: I agree with graelin/fccf, In theory, it could work. In practice, I dunno if I trust ubuntu ntfs for long-term use, and I dunno if the permissions issue will be a deal breaker or not... [03:29] yah im concerned about that to. [03:29] fccf: i mean freezealot with ubuntu [03:30] snarkster: I've never had a problem with it, but like I said, I have a /share partition that is NTFS just in case Murphey makes an appearance. [03:30] stepan_: already check it? [03:30] pornstar: do you mean a backtrace from a crash? [03:30] tho ive never had any issues with writing to ntfs Im not sure how well itll stand up to heavy use. [03:31] snarkster i don't think that is recommened because of permissions issues [03:31] yah [03:31] i agree.. [03:31] Can anyone help me with my wireless driver? [03:31] would be nice if vista could read/write ext3 [03:31] shane2peru: Bah... no permissions issues when you run as root all the time ;) [03:31] snarkster: plus Linux is setup to check it fs every so often on boot up, I don't think ntfs can be checked the same [03:32] snarkster: once upon a time there was an ext2 package for windows. Dunno if such still exists.... [03:32] mamo78: I'm really thinking you would be better off with a Long Term Support Edition of ubuntu ... xrdp will more than likely work more reliably in that environment [03:32] systemshock869: Broadcom chipset? [03:32] systemshock869, please just state your question. [03:32] graelin: yeah, I guess, if that is the case you should just keep running windows. :) [03:32] graelin: no it's an atheros [03:32] graelin: I had the madwifi driver working until i updated to karmic [03:33] systemshock869: downgrade. Seriously...

[03:33] fccf: 8.04 right? okay i'll try it out 1st. [03:33] scrambled eggs probably [03:33] mamo78: yep [03:33] systemshock869: Welp.. I was gonna say ICK.. you're on your own and then suggest madwifi... but it looks like the koala is kickin' yer ass [03:33] Oh ok should I go to that channel? [03:33] lol [03:34] mamo78: better than having to reinstall 15 systems though , huh? [03:35] thanks guys i'll check out #ubuntu+1 [03:35] losha: yeah [03:35] fccf: only one system, and the other system just using a device called thin client [03:36] fccf: so all the user connect to one single system [03:36] mamo78:exactly [03:36] pornstar: you could pastebin it here & we can look, but it might need a kernel geek to really tell you what's going on... [03:36] losha: can i pm u with the lines? [03:36] Strange, my python script stops working after a while. When I let the computer rest for a while the python script works again.

Your system tried to read a block from the disk, the block was faulty so the drive tried to move (reallocate) the block to a spare block. Apparently that realloction attempt failed, so the read failed. That's bad because drives usually have a bunch of spare blocks, and reallocations usually succeed without you noticing. The fact that yours failed means the drive is unreliable. Start backing up anything you can't [03:44] live without immediately, and then download the manufacturers diagnostic disk and run a scan. Worst case, you will need to buy a new drive.... [03:45] mralexandro: sorry im multitasking.. mhh sometimes its just a glitch .. what have u tried to solve the prob [03:45] guest329104, you want #ubuntu+1 [03:45] losha: ugh [03:45] losha: thats verybad news [03:45] can anyone elaborate on this warning.

[03:51] pornstar: Personally, I would run 'sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda' to find the model number, then download & run the manufacturers diagnostic disk. If you don't want to do that, at least look at the SMART data for the drive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.

Either way. manufactures diagnostic disk... [03:53] mralexandro: what happens when u plug the modem directly to ethernet [03:54] losha: i always take very good care of my computers...

I do have permissions for the cdrom drive, I've used it to install Doom 3 and UT2004 [04:40] ShapeShifter499: one install.. that means getting rid of 1 swap and the old install partition.. next time you install do the partitions manually and create 1 swap (1-2gig), 1 root (8-12gig) and the rest /home [04:40] on my top panel i accidently deleted the applications menu i readded it but it wont go all the way over [04:40] how do i move it [04:40] whats uberscript [04:40] scunizi: no, no I want to keep the swap partition [04:40] scunizi: *partitions [04:41] ShapeShifter499: you just said that you have 2.. you don't need 2.. in fact it might cause problems having 2 [04:41] Sorry forgot to add, when ever I try to play the dvd in Movieplayer, it say's permission denied. [04:41] scunizi: I had 2 before I messed up my grub boot [04:42] scunizi: so 2 seems to be ok on my comp [04:42] ShapeShifter499: that doesn't change what the recommendation is [04:42] anyone here having slowdown problems with blender ? [04:42] scunizi: what problems could I have? [04:42] hi all, i'd like to move basedir to somwhere else rather than the default location [04:42] ShapeShifter499: but only one will be used.. look in /etc/fstab and you'll only see one listed and used by your current functional install.. the other is just wasted space [04:43] Comrade_Tuttle, try running the following in a terminal and see what error you get, might give a clue "mplayer dvd://1 [04:43] i stop the service, === mandiri is now known as qtonk [04:43] copy the default dir to where i want it [04:43] scunizi: but both are used [04:43] and then edit the my.cnf [04:43] Comrade_Tuttle, ignore the " [04:43] ShapeShifter499: no [04:43] but i can't restart it [04:43] ShapeShifter499: it's ok to have multiple swap partitions. But unless you *need* them both, it's a waste of valuable disk space... [04:43] scunizi: yea [04:44] ShapeShifter499: I seriously doubt it.. [04:44] i check /var/log/myql/*log there's no information why it failed [04:44] can anyone help me with this? [04:44] ZykoticK9: http://paste.ubuntu.com/288282/ [04:45] ShapeShifter499: wanna start by pastebinning the output from sudo fdisk -l so we can see what you have? [04:45] sure [04:45] Comrade_Tuttle, did it also start playing? that looks like a good log. [04:46] i am trying to compile mono in order to install galaxium. finally got all the dependencies and i seem to be hanging on some sort of linker error when i try to make it. it stalls and prints error 2. any ideas? [04:46] crouchingpenguin, "error 2" doesn't help -- not the important part. can you pastbin the output? [04:47] ZykoticK9: Now I can't even open the dvd in Movieplayer. It will start up then suddenly close. [04:47] Comrade_Tuttle, did it work with mplayer? [04:47] will be a minute [04:48] crouchingpenguin, fyi i have no idea on your mono compile error - just pointing out the channel needed more info [04:48] algun p2p que conecte con la red de ares [04:48] scunizi , losha : here is the output of fdisk------> http://pastebin.com/m2f19f28 [04:48] ZykoticK9: One sec, I need to restart. The whole system is acting weird [04:49] !p2p > KYO2 [04:49] KYO2, please see my private message [04:49] ShapeShifter499: well you certainly have 2 listed.. how you sys will react to that is another question.. [04:50] scunizi: taking a look at system monitor it shows 4.3 gigs of swap ram === mandiri is now known as dya [04:51] losha: what do you think about ShapeShifter499 's swap scenerio? [04:52] scunizi , losha : the swap partitions aren't the problem, grub is [04:52] ShapeShifter499: so what's the deal with grub.. I missed that.. does it list both installs? === mandiri is now known as dya [04:53] scunizi: it's perfectly legal to have multiple swap partitions, though in ShapeShifter499's particular case it seems pointless, since they are contiguous, so you could combine them, but it's legal and supported. Most people end up with extra swap partitions when they add RAM later and need to add extra swap to support it. [04:53] scunizi , losha : I had to install a fresh ubuntu 9.04 system in order to run my old ubuntu partition, now I can get back onto my old ubuntu partition again I want to knock out the newer ubuntu partition for space [04:54] ShapeShifter499: So I presume the extra install is the one on /dev/sda7 ? [04:54] I got my modem recognized by Gnome-PPP. I get a dialtone, it dials and connects, but it hangs up right when it should be authenticating user/pass. What am I doing wrong? [04:54] i'm running jaunty [04:55] me too [04:55] ShapeShifter499: so we're back to gparted to delete the partitions you don't need and then edit grub to eliminate the references to the deleted system. [04:55] ShapeShifter499: grub menu is at /boot/grub/menu.list [04:55] ZykoticK9: Okay, the error I get is a box that says "Can not read from Resource." [04:55] ShapeShifter499: scunizi Be careful that grub may stop working when you delete the second install [04:56] Comrade_Tuttle, you never answered - did it work with that mplayer command? [04:56] no it only brought up the log [04:56] ShapeShifter499: please answer my question... [04:56] scunizi , losha : I had to install a fresh ubuntu 9.04 system in order to run my old ubuntu partition, now I can get back onto my old ubuntu partition again I want to knock out the newer ubuntu partition for space [04:56] Can I use a WinModem with 9.04? [04:56] ShapeShifter499: Jordan_U possibly.. reinstalling grub correctly should fix that.. [04:56] opps [04:56] Comrade_Tuttle, cause the log said it was playing... [04:57] ZykoticK9: mplayer never opened [04:57] sorry I activated my irc history type option [04:57] scunizi: It's probably better to get grub ( the mbr portion ) pointing to the new install first, then deleting the second [04:57] Comrade_Tuttle, what program are you trying to play it in? [04:57] ShapeShifter499: happens to the best of us :) [04:57] tacky12- from experience a serial modem is best.. many brands but zoom works fine [04:57] okay its postbinned, sorry never really used a support room before. what now? [04:58] crouchingpenguin, we need the link to it [04:58] Jordan_U: I think it is.. perhaps using the menu.list from the new install in the old will remedy that. [04:58] ZykoticK9: The stock Movie Player program that comes with 9.04 [04:58] Comrade_Tuttle, what's it called exactly in the menu? [04:58] scunizi , losha , Jordan_U : So what do I do to get rid of the ubuntu partition I do not want, and keep the one I do?? [04:58] ZykoticK9: Movie Player [04:59] http://www.pastebin.com/d176c7622 [04:59] ShapeShifter499: you start by answering my question... [04:59] hey can someone help me with my problem, i cant compile anything with anjuta saying i need glib but i installed everything that is glib and it still doesnt work can someone help me with my issue? [05:00] ZykoticK9: Applications=> Sound & Video=> Movie Player [05:00] Comrade_Tuttle, see I don't have that in my menu (i probably removed it) , i do have an "Mplayer Movie Player" but not just a "Movie Player" (it's probably totem or some such thing which I don't use - and would be no help with at all) [05:00] losha the partition I want is at sda1 and the one I do not want is at sda7 [05:01] losha I'm currently at ubuntu on sda1 [05:01] ZykoticK9: I think it may be based off of Totem, what would be a decent dvd player to try out? [05:01] ShapeShifter499: Do you have a LiveCD in case something goes wrong? [05:01] scunizi: *pointing to the old install/ the one she wants to keep [05:01] Been searching around the internet and can't get sound to work through Hdmi. Could someone lend a hand? [05:01] I have 5 of them [05:01] Jordan_U_: yes [05:01] Jordan_U: I have 5 of them [05:02] Anyone here have an X-Fi? [05:02] Comrade_Tuttle, I'm afraid for me it's all mplayer - but i mostly use it from cli or scripts, but I guess I kinda like smplayer for a front end... but lots of people prefer vlc === sync_ is now known as sync [05:02] I just installed VLC and any video I try to play in it shows squished into the left side and black and white. Like this: http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/402/vlcproblem.png [05:03] hello [05:03] How comes I can't get Adobe flash player 10 to run for farkle in my facebook [05:04] subone, change the output to GL or something from your current X11! [05:04] is there anyway to recover some files that i deleted accidently [05:04] wizzo50: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [05:04] ZykoticK9: I'm running synaptic and the actual program name is Mplayer Movie Player [05:04] Anyone here have an X-Fi? [05:04] scunizi , losha , Jordan_U : hello? [05:05] sandip, if you deleted it from command line and your using ext3 probably not... sorry to break bad news. if it was in gui check the trash [05:05] I desperately need some help with Virtual Box.... WHen I run my VM it boots up and tehn as soon as it boots up it minimizes and I cant get it to display on the screen but I can see the process is still running [05:05] ShapeShifter499: thank you. So the only thing you need to save is the data on /dev/sda1. I would a) delete every partition except /dev/sda1. b) Shrink /dev/sda1 as small as possible, c) Add a new partition for /home d) add a new, single 4G swap partition at the end of the disk. You will need to update the uuids in /boot/grub/menu.lst and also /etc/fstab to boot & swap from the correct new partitions.... [05:05] Comrade_Tuttle, might only be in the medibuntu repo?!? === gdb_ is now known as gdb [05:06] shawn_, did you try and enable seemless mode? cause when i do that - i get the same problem your having... [05:06] hello [05:06] Hallo [05:06] losha: couldn't I just keep the current sda1 and delete sda7 and then somehow reinstall grub? [05:06] is there any way to recover files [05:06] ZykoticK9: So I found out its not opening it in Mplayer. I have a program called Movie Player and Mplayer (no idea why). I'm trying to just open in Mplayer to see if it will play [05:06] zykoticK9 What is the key command to disable it Ill try doing that while it boots up next [05:06] ShapeShifter499: if that's all too much trouble, why not just wipe /dev/sda7 use it as /home ? [05:06] i deleted few files 3 hours ago [05:06] shawn_, no idea... [05:07] i need them back [05:07] shawn_, i ended up having to kill mine from the Virtualbox window [05:07] ShapeShifter499: no need to reinstall grub. Just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to remove the entry pointing to /dev/sda7 [05:07] ShapeShifter499: losha or if there's no real data to save then just reinstall wiping the entire drive and manually setup the partitions correctly [05:07] ZykoticK9: changing the output module has no effect [05:07] ZykoticK9 Ive restarted it like 10 times now.. [05:07] scunizi: well there's presumably data on /dev/sda1 as /home is there currently.... [05:08] scunizi , losha , Jordan_U : hold on guys, brb [05:08] subone, can you post another screenshot? [05:08] was there enough data in that paste or no? [05:08] that wasn't my screenshot, but it is the same problem [05:08] losha: yea.. maybe.. kinda sounded like a fresh install to begin with.. [05:08] ZykoticK9: just a moment [05:08] hey [05:08] guest329104: Thanks, now after running that I tried to run Farkle again in Firefox, Facebook and I still just get a green box and no commands in the spaces below it [05:09] crouchingpenguin, sorry could you try posting it again - i hadn't noticed you'd posted it and it now says expired [05:09] scunizi: I didn't want to assume that. ShapeShifter499 will come back and tell us hopefully... [05:09] ZykoticK9: this is an actual screenshot i took yesterday [05:09] ZykoticK9: http://imagebin.org/66615 [05:09] does anyone happen to know if renaming a symlink will break it?

[05:10] subone, oh -- take a new one [05:10] as i said, changing the output module has no effect [05:10] guest329104: It still won't load after running what you said [05:10] gwinbee: you should be able to rename (mv) a symlink without problems...

Is there a way to stop it from starting up this way [05:13] thanks anyway ^.^ === TuxTheGreat is now known as MarkDude [05:13] it was a shift+delete action [05:13] ZykoticK9: http://imagebin.org/66717 [05:13] scunizi , losha , Jordan_U : sda1=old ubuntu system+ old /boot/grub directory sda7= new unwanted ubuntu system, current /boot/grub directory, how do I make old grub directory the main one so I may delete sda7 [05:14] How comes I can't get farkle to run in my facebook on firefox?

[05:18] gwinbee: Yes and I have ran sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree and still have the same problem of not getting it to run [05:18] subone, so it's only an issue with vlc?

[05:19] ZykoticK9: I have mplayer installed but cant get it to play very well by its own issues [05:19] /bin is in my PATH but scripts are still not found. ideas? [05:19] subone, i'm not the person to know. i don't use vlc. hopefully someone else has a suggestion [05:19] guest329104 How do I get it [05:19] sandip_: You can try grepping for a known portion of it, "sudo grep 'A sentence from the file' /dev/sdXX" [05:19] ZykoticK9: actually, i guess mplayer is workign right now [05:19] Jordan_U : its a text file [05:20] hmm [05:20] sandip_: You might want to remount that partition read only now so that it doesn't get overwritten [05:20] cant skip forward or back ward in this movie in mplayer either [05:21] subone, if you open a terminal and cd to where your video files are, then try "mplayer filename" the terminal can show you a TON of info about what you're playing. using the "-vo help" can show you all the different video outputs it can do. [05:21] Jordan_U: what do I do? [05:22] gwinbee: If it is a flash related problem, then how do I go about fixing it to get it to run Farkle? [05:22] ShapeShifter499: Run "find /boot/grub/stage1" and give me the output ( it should find two partitions, if it is more than two lines use pastebin ) [05:22] gwinbee: I already have installed flashplayer 10 [05:22] subone, "-fs" is full screen and the arrow keys up/left etc act as controls (love that feature) [05:22] ShapeShifter499: From the grub shell [05:23] ZykoticK9: they seem to play fine in mplayer now, except that videos arent stretched to full screen and i cant search through these HD videos, i think it may be the transport layer? [05:23] Jordan_U: ok now what? [05:23] wizzo50: dunno then. wait for someone to answer who is more knowledgeable than i am. [05:23] can i use a nvidia driver if i dont hsve a nvidia card [05:23] Heading there now [05:23] ShapeShifter499: Tell me what that printed [05:23] subone, sorry have ZERO experience with HD video! i gots nothing for ya man... [05:24] Jordan_U: this (hd0,0) (hd0,6) [05:24] ZykoticK9: no the video window is full screen but the movie is not stretched to fill the screen area [05:25] ShapeShifter499: Ok, now run "root (hd0,0)" [05:25] subone, and that sounds like the x11 vs opengl issue [05:25] ShapeShifter499: Then "setup (hd0) [05:25] can anyone help me troubleshoot a kernel panic? my machine lasts 2-12 hours before going into panic, and I've tried a variety of installed kernels... having trouble narrowing down the problem [05:25] subone, in terminal try "mplayer -vo gl2 filename" [05:25] Jordan_U: ok than what? [05:25] ShapeShifter499: After running the setup command grub should now be pointing to your old partition [05:26] balleyne: which os/version ? [05:26] ZykoticK9: nvm, i installed gnome-mplayer and its all good now [05:26] ShapeShifter499: If you reboot it should boot into the old version of Ubuntu and you can safely remove the new one [05:26] subone, :) [05:26] Jordan_U: I'm all ready in the old one [05:26] losha: Ubuntu 9.04, Linux 2.6.28-15-generic (but I've tried some older kernels too) [05:27] Jordan_U: by installing the new ubuntu system it allowed me back into the old partition [05:27] ShapeShifter499: It should read the menu.lst from /dev/sda1 , so you will only see options to boot into the old system [05:27] Jordan_U: how do I close the gap where the new partition was? [05:28] balleyne: Well, I've seen no other reports of kernel panics in 9.04 offhand. I'm wondering if you have a hardware problem? Is it always the same backtrace or different ones? [05:28] ZykoticK9: Yeah it looks like when these HD files are played they are kinda like compressed in the files or something so it is streaming it, i cant search, i'll have to look further into it. Thanks for your help [05:28] Jordan_U: use the live cd? [05:28] ShapeShifter499: Yes [05:29] Hi... [05:29] ok [05:29] subone, it was fun :) [05:29] After following the guide at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=774773, some programs (for example xchat) interpret all keystrokes as if they were combined with the control key. this makes that program completely unusuable. is there a workaround I could possibly use? [05:29] Somebody knows how can be modified Ubuntu Desktop to Ubuntu Server? [05:30] ZykoticK9: you work on any opensource projects? [05:30] scunizi , losha , Jordan_U : I'll brb, if I'm not back within 10-20 minutes than something went wrong [05:30] subone, nope... hangs head in shame. but ot. === adam is now known as adam__ [05:30] losha: it doesn't always seem to appear in syslog, but when I've found it it's been similar (anywhere else I should be looking?) [05:31] ot? [05:31] subone, Off Topic - this is only for support [05:31] losha: it just started happening a few weeks ago, been running Ubuntu find on this machine since Dapper [05:31] oh [05:31] sorry [05:32] hi [05:32] hello [05:32] balleyne: dunno what to suggest. You can google parts of the backtrace to see if it's a known issue. It all else fails, drop back to 8.04, which is solid as a rock...? [05:32] Does anyone have any suggestions when switching from Windows to Ubuntu on how to continue torrent downloads where they left off in windows with uTorrent? [05:32] Hi guys i have a question [05:33] losha: alright, thanks [05:33] I want to make my desktop into a server with Ubuntu but I dont want to download all the DVD for Ubuntu Server, is there any short way for this? [05:33] by that i mean continuing them in linux FROM Windows with uTorrent [05:33] i just did a clean install of UNR from a live usb, and after updating packages and rebooting, gnome-panel fails to load on login, and "None" is automatically selected under Appearance > Visual Effects, which appears to be broken, since no window has a title bar, and is lacking decoration. when the visual effects are set to Normal, the decorations return, but this doesn't stick when i log out and log back in. how do i go about fixing this? is it [05:33] an issue with the window manager? [05:33] why do I can't go to a group [05:33] That desktop already has Ubuntu Desktop in it :P [05:34] subone, with neither torrent program running just copy whatever you downloaded with Windows to wherever uTorrent is gonna download it to - and start you torrent. [05:34] has anyone else found a way to get the mount system to obey _netdev in fstab? It keeps trying to mount my network shares before the network is up! [05:35] Axel_rose, Gnome is the default Ubuntu environemnt, KDE for Kubuntu, etc. etc. [05:35] subone: if you save whatever's been downloaded so far, a torrent client should continue where it left off. The main snag is that the windows and linux clients may not use the same naming convention, so the linux client may not realise you have already downloaded part of the file. You can run utorrent under wine under linux, but you'll still have to figure out where to put the partially downloaded files so the new client can find them, [05:35] which will be tricky... [05:36] adam__, it an issue with compiz not running - probably due to a kernel update that uninstall your graphics drivers. try reinstall your graphics drivers and see if that helps. good luck. [05:36] ZykoticK9: I used uTorrent on windows to download it to a removable usb hdd. What shall I use now to at least have the ability to 1) store downloads in one directory 2) move completed downloads to seperate directory [05:37] <_Techie_> is there anyway to have the whole of my trackpad scroll when a button is held? [05:38] subone, i'm not the one to ask about torrent clients - i pretty much use my torrentflux setup exclusely (it's an apache based web torrent client, very neat once it's setup - you can torrent with your home computer from whereever there is an internet connection :) [05:39] ZykoticK9: and can you do those two things? [05:39] Ok thanks ZykoticK9 [05:40] subone, sure (so could you if you set your mind too it, the info is all out there). Vuze is a popular gui torrent client that native on linux [05:40] ZykoticK9: I had Vuze before, when it was still whatever the name was before, it got a little bloated for me [05:41] subone, Azureus ya i hear ya [05:41] <_Techie_> subone- vuze used to be calles azures [05:42] i suppose i can give it another chance [05:43] HI, how to make java application interface looks like GTK interface??

[06:33] trying to overwrite gtk-2.0 which is already providied by /usr/share/python-support/python-gtk2 [06:34] just reinstall windows [06:34] ZykoticK9: it worked earlier, an update broke it, maybe in a few months an upgrade will fix it, thanks anyhow [06:34] hi i had windows vista before i installed ubuntu 9.04 and now im trying to go back to windows vista can anyone tell me how to uninstall ubuntu? [06:35] MR13: you can simply install over ubuntu 9.04 with Windows Vista [06:35] MR13: as we told yu, just install windows and overritde the ubuntu partitions [06:36] Guys, I am having problems with closing some ports, or at least seems like it. Help needed. [06:36] !details | heyboy [06:36] heyboy: 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 ..." [06:36] hi. the dot1q module doesnt work for e1000. anyone experiencing the same problems? [06:36] heyboy: what program are you using to block the ports? did you try the 'man prog'? [06:37] using UFW and IPTABLES. Closed all ports but portscan from localhost shows them open [06:37] heyboy: which ports? [06:37] that because you probably have lo interface as allow all (as you should, else stuff breaks) [06:37] heyboy: and ifw is not closing for localhost but for the lan/wan access [06:37] have to scan from remote box. [06:37] cantscrollup, i have no luck [06:37] heyboy: ufw [06:38] ports 22, 80, 445, ... [06:38] i need your help i have a problem with dependencies [06:38] heyboy: try scanning from outside and not from lo [06:38] !details | chico [06:38] chico: 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 ..." [06:38] q0_0p: did you set your att modem as gateway and removed the username and password from the att modem, and then in linksys enable pppoe, type your username and pass, and plug it in the main ethernet (not one of the four)? [06:38] i have two ubuntu machines on the same wifi network [06:39] and both of them both KP'd simultaneously [06:39] i can't install devede [06:39] wtf? [06:39] i've never heard of a wifi network causing a ubiquitous KP across all machines... [06:39] cantscrollup, if i remove username and password from att modem i will not have internet [06:39] !enter | mgmuscari1 [06:39] mgmuscari1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:39] q0_0p: any solution will require that while changing the physical configuration [06:40] i keep forgetting that this is probably the most pedantic room in all of irc [06:40] iceroot, http://pastebin.com/m279eac3c [06:41] cantscrollup, so u want to test to see if the linksys router is able to get on the internet solely on its own? [06:41] q0_0p: not exactly, it still needs the modem, but you need to configure the att modem to be a gateway, not router, and configure your linksys for pppoe to dial the internet for the att gateway [06:41] Hey guys how do i copy all the files from one hard drive to another ? [06:42] cantscrollup, so my linksys will be the gateway and the at&t will be the router? [06:42] artillerytx, cp /media/disk1/* /media/disk2/ [06:43] chico: i do i figure out the names of the hard drives [06:43] artillerytx: sudo cp [06:43] what's the differnece between ppoe and ppoa? [06:43] q0_0p: opposite [06:44] cp /media/disk1 [06:44] how do i find either of those disks [06:44] q0_0p: your att gateway serves as a modem and gateway/router, but you can get it to only act as a modem if you set it in gateway, then in linksys (router) pppoe (ppp over ethernet) with your username and password [06:45] cantscrollup, ah i c [06:45] cantscrollup, that makes sense [06:45] after connecting an external keyboard to the acer aspire one netbook the internal keyboard is messed up. I can temporarily restore it by doing "setxkbmap [countrycode]" and keeping ctrl-c pressed for some time. (strangely its the combination of these 2 things, one of them alone is of no avail). i have done "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" but it seems i cant find the right keyboard (currently its at "intl 105", which does not work properly, as said) [06:45] q0_0p: it was confiusing to me for the longest time as well [06:46] anyone know of a network monitor for bandwidth like an awn applet or something [06:46] if it tells me the hard drives are /dev/sdb1 [06:46] how can i get one there to make a new directory [06:46] cantscrollup, still learning ^^ [06:46] artillerytx, make /directory [06:46] artillerytx, mkdir /directory [06:46] the keyboard is not only in X messed up, but also at the console; therefore its so stange that after doing the setxkbmap and ctrl-c thing in X even the console gets right - for some minutes only [06:46] it won't let me do cd /dev/sdb1 [06:47] artillerytx: if you want to make a new directory in /dev/sdb1, you have to mount it first (sudo mkdir /media/test && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/test) [06:47] cantscrollup, if att gateway serves at a modem can all the 4 ports that i have ppoe into the internet? [06:47] oh [06:47] cantscrollup, for example 4 routers connected to the 4 ports with ppoe [06:47] q0_0p: no, none of the four, it should be the primary one seperate from the four [06:47] cantscrollup: i only have a read only file system right now i cant create any folders [06:47] artillerytx /dev are just the devices, you are not supposed to change that directory [06:48] im trying to back up a drive [06:48] artillerytx after mounting your device to any directory like /media/disk or so, you can do anything in that directory [06:48] krsna: that would be cool but i can't create a directory [06:48] artillerytx, use rsync [06:49] i can't install anything [06:49] artillerytx, why? [06:49] cause its a read only file system something is wrong with the drive [06:50] artillery in what directory are you now? type "pwd". you cant even create a directory in your user's home directory? [06:50] hello when i run a game my cpu it all time in 100%, its normal? [06:51] artillerytx: you may want to install (or run live ubuntu) with a program called pcopy (its a raw disk copying program) [06:51] im afraid to reboot the computer ... this is the first time i've been able to see the hard drive [06:51] in like 2 days [06:51] youneww_: i beleive we need more information [06:52] artillerytx: can you install pcopy to a floppy and run from there? usb? [06:52] i have an external hard drive [06:52] scunizi , losha , Jordan_U : you guys still there? [06:52] hi [06:53] is there nothing already installed on ubuntu server to do the backup ? [06:53] artillerytx: try installing that program to the external (from source if necessary) and run there [06:53] artillerytx: by default, cp (copy) should work [06:53] artillerytx, rsync [06:53] cantscrollup: from drive to drive [06:53] chico: rsync by default is on there how does that work [06:54] chico: isn't rsync for only over networks, or does it support disk to disk [06:54] !rsync | artillerytx [06:54] artillerytx: rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [06:54] cantscrollup, yes [06:55] but i need to back up from a drive to another drive and can't mount the other drive i guess with a read only file system [06:55] hai all [06:55] * chico says i don't understand artillerytx [06:55] so if i booted into windows server and did recovery mode you think i could copy drive to drive from there [06:55] what the best linux in grafic like vista [06:56] I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop..the laptop tries to connect to the wireless network, then prompts me to enter the passkey, which is already entered....my desktop, also running 9.04, connects just fine using the same settings..... [06:56] artillerytx: maybe you can gparted your usb hd and see if it automounts? yes, i think you need to mount before copy can be done [06:56] chico: how can i use rsync if my file system is read only because of a bad drive ? [06:56] cantscrollup: pcopy might work because it copies raw data from disk to disk [06:56] artillerytx, mmm read only? [06:56] scunizi , losha , Jordan_U : I fixed my problem, there where areas in grub menu.lst that where not typed out correctly [06:56] chico: yes [06:57] when will the freescale i.MX51 netbook be released? [06:57] chico: apparently the drives do that when they think something is wrong [06:57] scunizi , losha , Jordan_U : so I'm good [06:57] scunizi , losha , Jordan_U : g2g bye [06:57] g2g [06:57] bye [06:57] *be available?

[06:58] suppose to be available 3Q 2009, which is now [06:59] artillerytx: over network might work, rsync or sftp [06:59] cantscrollup: but if i can't save any config files how do i set that up [07:00] artillerytx: What are you trying to do? [07:00] Jordan_U_: Backup my read only drive to another drive or some other source before it dies on me again [07:00] Jordan_U_: and im not insanely good with terminal [07:01] is there a mac like theme for kde 3.5 ? [07:01] artillerytx: You can use a liveCD and copy the data to another drive from there [07:01] silv3r_m00n, check kde-look.org [07:01] Jordan_U_: yeah i was gonna do that but im afraid if i restart the drive won't show up again [07:01] whatever i will try it [07:01] <{g}> Hey People! When Ubuntu installs updates, how does it do it when the executable is running at the moment? Is it changing the executable on disk while it is running? Is that possible? [07:02] http://www.embeddedtechjournal.com/articles_2009/20090203_freeimx.htm [07:02] sfhsdg, that is outside the scope of this channel; perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic [07:02] artillerytx: Why do you think that restarting would do that? [07:02] ALPS Touchpad is soo bad in linux [07:03] anyone with ALPS have a usable .fdi file? [07:03] Jordan_U1: cause the drive is bad and its only randomly showing up === roflparrot_ is now known as roflparrot [07:05] artillerytx: Do you have another *nix machine? [07:05] artillerytx: scp is not that hard to use and you only need to do setup on the other machine [07:06] hello [07:06] i have had nothing but trubble with ubuntu [07:07] it will not run on my set up [07:07] !details | NavWolf [07:07] NavWolf: Please give us full details.

[07:07] artillerytx: if you google dd backup, might that be something? [07:07] i try to install it installs but will not run [07:07] {g}, I think it will continue running the old version until you restart tre program [07:08] NavWolf: What happens when you try to boot after installing? [07:08] How can I set up grub in a fakeraid? [07:08] * NavWolf is not a linux newb [07:08] <{g}> Tmi: yes, but that wasnt my question. [07:09] the program ends up rebooting my system and yay grub all over again [07:10] NavWolf: Please try to give us specific information on what is happening "and yay grub again" is not very helpfull. Does grub give you an error? [07:11] hey when i type in terminal: sudo aireplay-ng -9 mon0 [07:11] grub runs fine it is you buggy o/s that is the issue [07:11] my laptop freezes, anyone know why? [07:11] NavWolf, which version of Ubuntu; what specific app are you referring to, more details the better. === Chenlong is now known as lzweekly [07:12] NavWolf: are you saying ubuntu reboots before it finishes booting on your hardware? if so, have you tried disabling acpi?

[07:16] not using usb or anything just strait connected it [07:16] What is the library name of The Color Transformation Language package in ubuntu [07:17] artillerytx: depends if your controller can support hotplugging [07:17] you certainly wouldn't wanna do it with power [07:17] already in [07:17] long and short don't screw with it :) [07:17] How can I set up grub in a fakeraid? [07:17] ewb: its a server [07:17] ewb: it has 3 slots and it looks like it has its hot pluggable === |eXeC001er| is now known as eXeC001er [07:18] artillerytx: like frontmounted drive bays?

[07:18] FloodBot2: f u [07:18] ewb: well hard drive is barely working and i need to get the files off fast fast fast [07:18] artillerytx: why not boot off cd with the hdd already in [07:18] Is there a way to increase the HDD space used by the 9.10 beta live cd? I've got over 100Gb of space free on the HDD, but playing around in the live Cd it tells me I've only got 23Mb left and all I've done was install a few basic apps [07:18] and like hit F10 or whatever to get into the bios and set cd-boot-first [07:18] and can't wait for the computer to boot into the OS [07:19] ewb: the hard drive will disappear before i can get to it [07:19] disappear? [07:19] yeah the drive is just jacked [07:19] (i don't think I'm gonna be very useful - if you're totally screwed then sure try to hotplug it) [07:20] if it's an external drive bay then it'll probably not destroy the data worse [07:20] and very well might detect and be mountable [07:20] hello [07:20] hello [07:20] I'm reading the output from fdisk.... what size is a block?

[07:24] Jester05: i mean like a supported unattended install [07:24] but if you just want to start an app when u log in its fairly easy [07:24] gnome? [07:24] Jester05, no need for that. hardware issues are outside the scope of this channel and you have been asked politely twice to desist. [07:24] ewb: you can use kickstart with ubuntu just fine [07:24] howitzer`: yeah.. [07:24] it wasn't a hardware thing [07:25] maco: with a bunch of hacking or has kickstart been 'officially' figured out? [07:25] i wanted to know if anyone had heard on the compatibility issues surrounding running ubuntu on a timeline series laptop [07:25] howitzer`: was compiling ramenhdr.. its asking for : Could NOT find CTL (missing: CTL_LIBRARY CTL_INCLUDE_DIR) [07:25] Jester05: nah, never used one of those [07:25] Jester05: there is a laptop testing set of wiki pages detailing level of support for various laptops [07:25] anyone have problems with their alps touchpad ?

[07:35] I teach a web-development class (php) in a highschool and I would like to let the users use cli to run their scripts. Understandably the users no not have access to cli at all. Is there a feasible way to allow users to run only specific commands in specific directorys? "cd","ls" and "php" would be enough, I think? I hesitate to suggest to the administrators to allow cli if I can't suggest a solution to restrict the access... [07:37] nicka, why not just have a sandbox for each user? [07:37] nicka: create a Unix group for the students' account to share, and restrict all binaries except cd, ls, and php to root:admin [07:37] s/account/accounts/ [07:38] qe2ege, plz explain the sandbox idea? [07:38] nicka, mneptok's idea. [07:39] nicka: or use VMs that you wipe at the end of each class. [07:39] hola [07:39] much more sandboxy. [07:39] mneptok, tnx, how do one restrict the binaries? It would be enough to restrict all users access to the binaries, because no other users can access cli at all (not even teachers). [07:40] sudo chown root:wheel /bin/* && sudo chmod 700 /bin/* && sudo chown root:wheel /usr/bin/* && sudo chmod 700 /usr/bin etc etc etc [07:41] nicka: you mentioned "administrators." if they don;t know how to use chown and chmod, they should be fired. ;) [07:42] 有中国的朋友吗？ [07:42] !cn > fancybit_ [07:42] fancybit_, please see my private message [07:42] ok [07:42] mneptok: they're hired by the city, that should explain everything :) I have been waiting 3 weeks just to get Quanta plus installed for my students... [07:42] nicka: Would Ubuntu's restricted "guest account" work for you? [07:46] HELP! something very weird just happened to my filesystem ... my 500 GB drive suddenly became full and no matter what I delete it stills shows 0 bytes available. cannot even get my email ... anyone have an idea what I can do? [07:46] This may be newbie, but will restricting access to binaries also affect running the normally allowes binaries from GUI? [07:47] thomas_: boot to live CD if the drive is your linux drive and fsck it [07:47] dfbvhfnjvhkmvh [07:47] action: have done an fsck on HD ... no luck [07:48] csdthvfhd: gesundheit.

[07:48] yes [07:48] thomas_: not really great, try some extra options [07:48] Jordan_UI, I don't think the guest accounts are active, otherwise not a bad idea, must check it out... [07:48] what's wrong with the tr repository? [07:48] thomas_: sudo fsck.ext3 -yf /dev/sdBLAH [07:49] mneptok: from terminal or reboot? [07:49] thomas_: never fsck a mounted filesystem [07:49] (so reboot) [07:50] thomas_: did yo uby any chance stop a backup halfway? [07:50] mneptok: thnks will try ... [07:51] thomas_: like I said, poor fsck options, hence liveCD so the drive isnt mounted (you may have to manipulate swap so its not in use) [07:53] actionparsnip: was not doing a backup, but had installed some software that crashed [07:53] Hey guys!

I can temporarily restore it by doing "setxkbmap [countrycode]" and keeping ctrl-c pressed for some time. (strangely its the combination of these 2 things, one of them alone is of no avail). i have done "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" but it seems i cant find the right keyboard (currently its at "intl 105", which does not work properly, as said) [08:09] i got a quick question i have a script to burn a cd how do add an extra command "eject -T" after it's done? [08:09] KruyKaze if its a shell script simply put it in anothe line [08:10] krsna, i did but it only ejects [08:10] does the system log get cleared at regular intervals? === MadMax is now known as MaxSid [08:11] hloow [08:11] krsna, http://pastebin.org/39544 [08:13] KruyKaze eject ejects. see "man eject" for the -T optionj [08:13] StrangeCharm: i think they're rotated [08:13] option* [08:13] StrangeCharm: logrotate, iirc, is what does it [08:13] krsna, it ejects witout burning [08:14] ah, then the line before it is wrong [08:14] foofish, what happens if an application sends so much data to the syslog that it threatens to eat the whole disk? === olivier is now known as Guest42425 [08:14] krsna, the line before it works fine without the eject command [08:16] KruyKaze this is interesting. growisofs should finish before eject starts [08:16] krsna, that is my tought exactly [08:17] eject appears in red in gedit [08:17] StrangeCharm: in a real OS, you have either quotas or seperate partitions to keep that from killing you [08:17] exobyte, but ubuntu is not a real os?

[08:18] StrangeCharm: depends who you ask [08:18] there's a makefile and a makefile.cmake and i run make for the compile. which one of these requires the -I include? [08:19] KruyKaze i put it in a file with vim and syntax coloring is fine [08:19] maybe you have some hidden control characters at the end of line 2 [08:20] Sorry if this is a stupid question but I can't find any info on the net. Is there a current version of Kylix, supported by 9.04?

[08:28] Hello All [08:28] iam a new ubuntu user [08:28] hey [08:29] anybody wana help me in xubuntu regarding samba share [08:29] i have a question on upgrading Ubuntu Hardy hildon desktop from 2.0.7 to the latest one [08:29] deamonunix: The Ubuntu Server Guide has instructions on how to set up webservers. http://help.ubuntu.com/ -> Choose your release -> Ubuntu Server Guide (under other documentation) [08:30] but i am using desktop ed. 9.04 (jaunty) [08:30] it possible to install LAMP Server [08:31] i my exixting box? [08:31] deamonunix: Instructions for the server should work just fine on desktop as well. They're not much different. [08:31] ok...thanks [08:31] KruyKaze does it work? i found the answer to my problem i had: it was [Fn]-[NumLock] haha. hope your script works now. in any case just with a space before the device name [08:31] !lamp > deamonunix [08:31] deamonunix, please see my private message [08:32] i have static network connection but i want to bridge my lan card with wlan card and make my private network [08:32] how can i manage this [08:32] krsna, still not working just ejects :( [08:33] KruyKaze, are you sure the line 2 works by itself? read "man growisofs". === distrohopper is now known as distro|hoppin [08:33] krsna, you mean line 1? [08:34] line 1 is the shebang line, line 2 is the script proper [08:34] krsna, lol shebang? [08:34] *s [08:34] krsna, oh isee [08:35] krsna, that line works flawlessly alone [08:35] KruyKaze this line invokes bash and is called shebang because of the # (sharp) followed by a ! (bang) [08:35] KruyKaze: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix) [08:35] KruyKaze man mkisofs says: There are several undocumented options commonly denoted with -use-the-force-luke pre‐ fix. Some of them serve debugging purposes. [08:35] KruyKaze: simply put: #!/bin/bash should be your top line [08:36] krsna, i think it needs to know that the first command end at the first line [08:36] i mean second line [08:36] KruyKaze if line 2 really works by itself then it could be that there is a hiddden character at the end of the second line [08:36] good thinking [08:36] bash scripts work up commands one after the other, normally [08:36] KruyKaze, krsna: mkisofs has been renamed to genisoimage btw. You should use the newer name as the old will disappear eventually. [08:37] and if you had the script at first only upto line 2, then a hidden character like EOF could have remained there [08:38] how do i find out i did backspace and it deleted the "1" [08:38] I just modified someoneelses script and added eject at the end it seems to be burning [08:38] but still my script should work [08:39] how can i create my own wireless network === jony123 is now known as lil_jony123 === lil_jony123 is now known as lil_jony [08:39] anyone ? === lil_jony is now known as jony123 [08:39] buy wireless card and router for your AP [08:41] krsna, geirha , thank you.i will reconnect if it doesn't work [08:41] KruyKaze listen: man growisofs says that [08:41] wait, that the option -Z means: "Burn an initial session to the selected device." === pengemis is now known as pengemis|away [08:41] krsna, ok [08:42] IF you have already started burning the disk then you should take the option -M , maybe [08:42] krsna, what does that change? [08:42] take it out? [08:42] -M means: "Merge a new session to an existing one." [08:43] i am really not into burning dvds, but it seems you have to append rather than start a new session [08:44] krsna, the thing is that the first command works to perfection without the eject command [08:44] does it work more than once on one cd? [08:44] no [08:44] i would not wanna do that [08:45] i am on lxde and for some reason awn won't load, even when it's default to run on startup and on the system monitor it shows up as sleeping, can anyone help me [08:45] so you have tried the script with eject in the 3rd line on a new cd?

[08:46] i wan to access share data as I acces in ubuntu via places - > network [08:46] does the file name you want to burn and which you input to the script as $1 contain strange characters? then you might quote "$1" [08:47] or '$1' [08:47] ah [08:47] i'll try that [08:48] after this disk is done [08:48] cybersplice: to acces shared data as in ubuntu [08:49] mean i want to access shared data as I as in ubuntu via Place --> network [08:49] What is good data recovery program?

[09:54] ActionParsnip ah, i cant find this browser [09:54] * tehbaut assumes '或者' means 'or' [09:55] tehbaut: hehe [09:55] ♥ English === lou_ is now known as l_o_u [09:55] 3 strokes and you're done :) [09:55] !record | Elirips [09:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about record [09:55] ♥ 中国♥ [09:55] !screencast | Elirips [09:55] Elirips: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [09:56] Elirips: Have a look at the suggestions ubottu's link gives, they should give you an idea of whats available [09:56] when listening music, the volume doesn't change even i do, it stays the same. why? [09:56] krsna: theres source for it, there are other light browsers in the repos like kazehakase [09:57] tehbaut: Where are you from? [09:57] ActionParsnip well i could not even find the src for it :( [09:57] DJones: thanks, I'll look at it [09:57] xinen007: US [09:57] my english is poor... [09:58] tehbaut: i ♥ ubuntu [09:58] ActionParsnip and , btw, installing kazehakase will install it with the Gecko engine; how to switch to Webkit? [09:58] and u too? [09:59] I don't care for any os, to be 100% honest [09:59] :) [09:59] ActionParsnip, the HOWTO on tldp.org says to use vgchange, vgexport, and pvscan but they aren't in the repositories... how can i access these commands? [10:00] krsna: not sure, i just use it as is [10:00] tehbaut: :) [10:00] azlon: you may need a ppa [10:01] azlon: itsnot something ive ever been to [10:02] my os is still in english language... [10:02] ActionParsnip thanks for Your inspiration; its really very kind of You. I am really surprised that there are browsers i have not heard of, even based on webkit, as i thought i would know all of them already :) [10:02] xinen007: I wanted to learn chinese at one point, but then I found japanese was so much simpler ;) [10:02] krsna: there are many browsers [10:02] !browser | krsna [10:02] krsna: Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) [10:04] crap, got disconnected [10:04] ActionParsnip, the HOWTO on tldp.org says to use vgchange, vgexport, and pvscan but they aren't in the repositories... how can i access these commands?

[10:05] tehbaut: I talk to you slowly [10:05] krsna: mostly yes. There is no guarantee though [10:06] ActioParsnip ok. Thx :9 [10:06] :) [10:06] typo [10:09] How does Ubuntu let me access USB and another resources without being root? [10:10] Is this specific to ubuntu, or do most distros do this nowadays? [10:11] hi! is there a way to control auto fsck check at boot from grub? or to escape it if it has already started? there are situations (like when I'm in class) when I need to boot up as fast as i can and i cannot wait for fsck no matter what! ideal would be an option in grub [10:11] naxa, why not suspend the machine if you wanna boot that fast? :) [10:11] naxa: if you `sudo touch /fastboot` before you shutdown (or at least, if that file exists when it boots) it'll skip fsck even if it's scheduled [10:11] JoshuaL, suspend doesn't work for me actually [10:12] Flannel, well that's nice but actually who knows where would i next use my computer? :) it would be still nice if i could control this from grub or if I can press a key to abort the process [10:12] naxa: Hitting Esc will skip it. [10:13] (As of the last three releases or so) [10:13] tonyyarusso, well, really? well is it possible that last time i tried it didn't worked? or do i have to hit a several times? I remember hitting it and nothing happened , it just wrote a weird char on the terminal what disappeared in a few secs [10:13] tonyyarusso, oh i see i need to upgrade! [10:14] well that's nice [10:14] naxa: You hit Esc once it starts the check btw, not at grub or elsewhere. [10:14] (It gives a message to that effect at the proper time somewhere) [10:14] tonyyarusso, yeah i did that on my jaunty but nothing happend except what i described above [10:15] anyway, i'm on my way to karmic beta, hope esc will work. [10:15] any turn based strategy games for ubuntu games similar to rome total war [10:15] too bad i have both kde gnome and xfce etc so update takes a bit long to finish :) [10:16] !games | system404 [10:16] system404: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [10:16] tonyyarusso: its easy for me to look a lists and ratings but i want personal opinions of whats good [10:17] thats why i asked in here [10:17] i thought the original works with wine [10:18] i dont want to use wine [10:18] i waant a game made for linux [10:18] system404: this isn't the best place to ask for opinions. #ubuntu-offtopic is much better [10:18] i see. too bad the only thing i play is tux racer, sudoku and frozen bubbles :) [10:18] *are [10:19] something similar to rome total war or something like command and conquer those kinda games [10:19] no personal opinions here from me, sorry :( i could only use google [10:20] help! what deb package contains this library: libapt-pkg-libc6.10-6.so.4.8.1 ? [10:20] how come I can't resize a ntfs partition in gparted? [10:20] I know everyone hates each other, but it would be kinda nice if we all tried to get along :P [10:21] hey ntfs resize worked fine for my friend [10:21] tehbaut: I do believe you are mistaken about everyone hating each other. as for resizing ntfs, there is a specific process for that. [10:21] but i just don't know anything about it since i'm using ubuntu since 7.x and back then i did manual partitioning, and am upgrading since then [10:22] tehbaut, i am sure it is possible somehow but you need ask someone else to tell how :( anyway, my friend is quite a noob and he managed to do it so maybe there is some other problem [10:22] tehbaut: is it mounted? [10:23] when it's not mounted, there's an error icon [10:23] when it's mounted, there's a key icon [10:23] neither instances allow resize [10:23] tehbaut: ntfs resize works fine. Maybe windows was not shut cleanly ? [10:23] this is a non-bootable drive [10:23] tehbaut: you might want to read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96617 [10:23] just used for storage [10:23] tehbaut: boot to windows, shutdown again then boot to live CD to resize [10:23] tehbaut: double clicking on the error icon tell you why there is an error? [10:23] ActionParsnip: this is a non-bootable drive [10:23] just used for storage [10:24] tehbaut: does windows ever touch it? [10:24] yes, but it wouldn't mount if it weren't shutdown cleanly [10:24] How can I execute a program held in /usr/bin in a directory other than where I currently am, ie something like ./foo/ls [10:24] system404, well using google it seems warzone2100 is a cnc clone with ubuntu support [10:25] beardedchimp: just type its name, /usr/bin is in your $PATH [10:25] naxa: yeah its awesome [10:25] naxa: its in the repos [10:25] ActionParsnip: If i try that it complains that ./foo/ls doesnt exist [10:25] ciao a tutti [10:25] ActionParsnip: And i can't cd to foo before running ls [10:25] tehbaut: you'd have to fix it with ntfsfix [10:25] !info ntfsprogs [10:26] ntfsprogs (source: linux-ntfs): tools for doing neat things in NTFS partitions from Linux. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.0-1ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 262 kB, installed size 672 kB [10:26] Gnea: got it, trying again [10:26] how to associate an email id to a particular user in ubuntu...say I want user foo to be associated with foo.domain.org, so when ever I send mails to foo it should go to his address. [10:26] beardedchimp: ls is in /bin [10:26] I suppose on eway is using aliases... [10:26] the drive needs to be unmounted to resize, correct? [10:26] beardedchimp: are you typing ls or ./ls ? [10:26] rags: that's usually done with /etc/aliases [10:26] ActionParsnip: Ahh doing /bin/ls ./foo/ works [10:26] but [10:26] Gnea: I have a large number of users...hmm..any other way? [10:26] I cant do that [10:27] beardedchimp: the command should be: ls ./foo [10:27] Hi when I boot my computer, I am able to press delete and get into bios settings. However when I attempt to reboot from cd the keyboard will not repond to the prompt to confirm boot from cd, so boots from the first hard drive. Why does my keyboard not repond? [10:27] ActionParsnip: To explains I have a program that outputs to its current directory, but i am ../ from where it needs to execute [10:27] rags: no. it shouldn't make a difference. you just edit it and save it. [10:27] beardedchimp: you can use the absolute path if you want [10:28] beardedchimp: ls /path/to/foo [10:28] ActionParsnip, i think beardedchimp means that he is standing in for example his home directory, and want to run a program from /usr/bin as if he started it from another directory, e.g. /home/beardedchimp/directry2/this/ [10:28] naxa: Yep [10:28] heh, it takes forever to reread after installing ntfsprogs [10:28] naxa: sweet, and answered above ;) [10:28] Gnea: k...thx. will the mails sent go to the user's mbox as well?...or just to the mail address? [10:28] ActionParsnip, took forever to write this long sentence down :) [10:28] naxa: hehe no worries duder [10:29] ActionParsnip: But the program i am running cant be passed a directory as an argument [10:29] ActionParsnip, however there are chances that he wouldn't actually run ls but some noob program what don't have this great option [10:29] oh too late again [10:29] ActionParsnip: So i cant pass ~/directory2/this [10:29] beardedchimp: what will it accept? [10:30] nevermind, the keyboard was disabled for some reason. it only does it when I want to boot from cd. strange [10:30] ActionParsnip: Im piping to it [10:30] interesting problem [10:30] and i don't know the answer! How awful [10:31] I could create a symlink to the executable ie in ./foo/symtoprogram [10:31] But that seems like a bodged solution === fysaen_ is now known as fysaen [10:31] beardedchimp: if it makes it work / be easier, i'd do it [10:31] ActionParsnip: Easier in short term, not long term [10:31] I know have lvm and lilo but I would like to setup lvm on raid1. what do i need to change to lilo? [10:31] beardedchimp, in situations like this i tend to use the solution what "just works" no matter what [10:32] ActionParsnip: But ill use that solution for time being [10:32] cheers naxa/actionparsnip [10:32] :) [10:32] beardedchimp: np man :D [10:32] rags: depends how you set it up [10:32] beardedchimp, may i ask how did you end up in a situation like this? :) [10:33] just curious [10:33] rags: if you use postfix, there's a special procedure for rolling the aliases into postfixes database [10:33] system404, well ActionParsnip seems to have an personal opinion about warzone2100 so i think this is a suggestion [10:34] he says its great then it must be.. [10:34] Gnea: I don't want it to go to the mbox, so say i add in the aliases file "foo foo@domain.org" the mails directly go to the required address right? [10:34] rags: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-January/104143.html [10:34] ActionParsnip, is there an age of empires 2 clone out there? :) [10:34] Gnea: I'm using sendmail...I think... [10:34] rags: oh [10:34] rags: that's different. for that, you'd just need a ~/.forward file [10:35] naxa: custom written programs, multiple piping command looks like this foo | tee >(bar | bah) >(bar | blah) === ahmed is now known as Guest64767 [10:35] naxa: not that i know of but there's freeciv ;) [10:35] naxa: Where blah is the program that outputs to current folder and both bah and blah need to output to diff folders [10:35] Gnea: oh...nothing to do with /etc/aliases then?... [10:35] rags: I recommend postfix, especially with a lot of users [10:36] rags: well, it'll work with /etc/aliases too [10:36] Gnea: How to know which mta is being used on a system? [10:36] rags: but using ~/.forward gives the user a bit more control [10:36] rags: see what's running [10:36] <-- brauche mal hilfe mit meinem xserver... thx [10:36] rags: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto#Per%20User%20.forward%20Files [10:37] !de | categore [10:37] categore: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[10:37] rags: but .forward is universal, it's not just for postfix, but for sendmail, etc [10:37] Gnea: oh..yeah...actually I want this to set up quotas on the home directories..everthing is setup except I want the mails to be sent to thwir external mail addresses... [10:38] Gnea: Thx for the link..I'll chk out postfix [10:40] hello [10:40] hi [10:40] ActionParsnip, ok, so i think i almost have this partition setup. when i do fdisk -l i see the hdds and they say Linux raid autodetect [10:40] ActionParsnip, when i do mdadm --assemble --scan it says "mdadm: no arrays found in config file" [10:42] azlon: wht does /proc/mdstat show? [10:42] can anybody tell me how to get rid off iso disc images they are 4,4 G large and too big for trash [10:43] azlon: i use a raid card rather than crappy onboard stuff, i'm not much help dude sorr [10:43] ipe: select it press "Shift + del" [10:43] rags, http://pastebin.com/m73f64a53 [10:44] rags, that only shows 2 of my drives... i have 4... [10:44] im trying to watch some wmv videos online with firefox 3.5, but the videos are zoomed in to about 25% of the real video size so making them unwatchable. anyone familiar with this? im using the vlc player plugin to try and view the videos. so far anything else doesnt work as good or just doesnt work [10:44] thanks i gonna try it when i go to kubutu side,,now using debian [10:45] azlon: let me understand wht u require first....do you want to raid you'r OS dirve as well? or this are other secondary drive leaving the OS intact? [10:45] ipe: that is in nautilus... with the kde filemanager could be other key combo. [10:45] ipe: but anyway delete in terminal with "rm filename" that works everywhere [10:45] rags, no. i already have a raid with my junk on it. i just reinstalled Ubuntu 9.04 and i just want to use the raid again. here is my fdisk -l: http://pastebin.com/d41e817d1 [10:46] rags, the OS is not on the raid [10:46] beardedchimp, oh, well, i see :) ActionParsnip : of course [10:46] that didnt work in terminal,,showed me files but rm didn work [10:47] rags: So u reinstalled jaunty without raid? on sde I suppose... [10:48] rags, yeah with out the raid (which was sda) then i connected the raid and it shifted the primary drive down to sde [10:49] is there a way to reencode an utf-8 file to iso-8859-1? [10:49] azlon: raiding a Os drive after installation is a big pita...but can be done. [10:49] naxa: Gah symlink doesnt work, still executes wrong place [10:50] hi, I'm trying to fix my resolution it only goes up to 800x600, after a fresh install of 9.04. The graphics are built in S3 graphics... but I don't know the exact model to get drivers...how do I find out? [10:50] rags, im not raiding my OS drive [10:50] azlon: what does /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf ? looks like ? does it list your array ? [10:50] ipe: error msg ? [10:51] !who | ipe [10:51] ipe: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [10:51] erUSUL, mdadm.conf is blank [10:51] azlon: then --scan will not work according to "man mdadm" maybe you can writte an entry for your array [10:52] iceroot: use iconv [10:52] erUSUL, rags, if i restart the raid will be gone. i haven't automounted or anything yet... i only did mdadm --assemble --scan --auto-update-homehost [10:52] erUSUL, where can i find the commands to write in there? [10:52] erUSUL, its a basic raid-5 [10:52] azlon: but --scan scans the mdadm.conf file to find the arrays if none is there it fails [10:52] beardedchimp, too bad, however not surprising.. still it was worth to give it a try. actually what i've tried to ask is why you won't simply change directory and copying all programs into that dir? [10:52] erUSUL : ty much im chatting 1st time lol [10:52] azlon: man mdadm.conf [10:52] erUSUL: thx i will have a look at iconv [10:53] beardedchimp, also if they are custom programs it shouldn't be that hard to modify them to accept some params, i guess... === el is now known as Guest80800 [10:53] beardedchimp, of course this is just theoratical, you must have your reasons not doing this.... [10:53] naxa: This is true but its alpha and Im testing [10:53] azlon: first create the array using mdadm -C... [10:53] erUSUL, ok, making the mdadm.conf now... brb [10:53] beardedchimp, i see! [10:53] ash_: in terminal type lspci | grep -i vga [10:54] rags, there is already information on the drives, wont create format them? [10:54] beardedchimp, well still a good question and it beats me [10:54] maybe not format... but corrupt the data or something [10:54] azlon: I see that the hdd are preped for raid already you just have to create the raid...wht raid livl do you want? [10:54] legend2440, okay I got S3 UniChrome Pro.. but my res is not going higher than 800x600 [10:54] rags, RAID-5 [10:55] azlon: maybe just a line like "ARRAY /dev/md0 devices=/dev/sdxx,/dev/sdxx,/dev/sdxx" will be enough but i'm not really sure [10:55] can you now if used the bootloader grub or lilo from a headless machine? [10:55] ash_: sorry i'm not familiar with S3. i use nvidia [10:56] rags, so do something like: mdadm --create level=5 devices=/dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1, /dev/sdd1 [10:56] azlon: Chek this http://linux-raid.osdl.org/index.php/Initial_Array_Creation [10:56] erUSUL, i was adding by UUID, wasnt sure if i should do that or like what you did [10:56] azlon: specailly on raid 5 [10:57] !res | ash_ [10:57] ash_: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [11:18] nickyJJ, my buddy list is ok....the problem is i cant add a new buddy [11:18] i get an error: unable to add user to yahoo server list [11:19] thankyou [11:19] Jurate, anyway, it is possible to make a root password "sudo passwd root" but it is not adwised [11:19] Hello, can someone please help me, it is regarding delay in boot process http://paste.ubuntu.com/288502/ Cheers... [11:20] hmmm.. well i really can't help you there. maybe you can log into your yahoo msnger online and add buddies; log out of pidgin and log back in, maybe they will show up [11:20] Jurate: As the link says, root isn't used in ubuntu, you get temporary access to admin priviliges by using the sudo command for terminal app's, or gksudo for gui app's [11:20] Jurate: especially, if you have services open to world, like ssh. [11:20] nickyJJ, thanks [11:21] but what should is use if i whant to play with root [11:21] ? [11:21] Jurate: you can ' sudo su - ' without the quotes in a terminal to gain root shell [11:21] sudo su - [11:21] please give me .. the entire command [11:21] :) [11:21] (with minus sign) === MosquitoOo is now known as MaWaLe [11:22] and how [11:22] i change my pass ?

I used to use the gnome-panel weather applet but it never updates by itself anymore [11:23] soreau, have u tried conky?? [11:23] L1nUX1z3R: No, thats a bit overkill for weather isnt it? [11:24] i guess so...you just need weather only? [11:24] :) ok i sudo su - now i`m on root, like u sad, but how do i change my pass now ? [11:24] !rootshell | cabaro Jurate [11:24] cabaro Jurate: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [11:24] passwd [11:24] Jurate: you don't want to change the root password in ubuntu [11:25] L1nUX1z3R: Right. I wanted something that could show in the panel maybe on the tray [11:25] Jurate, i used to do "sudo passwd root" to change the pass... but when in root mode you can simply type passwd. however you really don't need this, even i get used to "sudo some_command etc" [11:25] way [11:25] ok i changed it [11:26] Jurate: but if you really want to set root password (know the security risks involved) then: passwd when you are root already [11:26] soreau, try the clock applet...it shows temperature (i think) [11:26] i did that === RichIT- is now known as RichIT [11:26] Jurate: then it's changed [11:26] now i can set up an eggdrop [11:26] or something ? [11:27] :) [11:27] cabaro, better question how could i revert to no password? :) [11:27] Jurate, i don't think a root account is necessary to set up eggdrop [11:27] who wants to see how to make ubuntu faster? [11:28] L1nUX1z3R: Yes, you are right. The clock applet weather feature used to not work for me but its working now. Thanks [11:28] Jurate, actually sudo apt-get install eggdrop would have done it [11:28] but if i whant to lounch some drones on a private irc server [11:28] can i do that ?

Will Ubuntu LiveUSB Creator do the job? [11:28] do you downlaod like a plugin for every app? [11:28] Jurate, well i'm not an eggdropper but you can install eggdrop with "sudo apt-get install eggdrop" [11:28] and see if you have a long hash there as shadowed passowrd [11:29] naxa, ok.. i understand.. but the real thing is.. i can set up some drones on a private irc server .. [11:29] ? [11:30] Jurate, sorry you should ask someone else. i guess it's possible but i'm not into eggdrop, just know it exists [11:30] Hello. I have small problem. My / and /home folder is full, there is no disk quota. I want to enter my home folder from liveusb, but it's encrypted by encryptfs. How to access it? I need to move few files to other partition, but I'm not able to. [11:31] not an eggdrop.. some ips to rise them on a server .. like but 20-30 buts :) [11:31] Jurate, my first problem would be "hey, what are drones?" :D [11:31] Jurate: not my cup of tea either, sorry [11:31] FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUU [11:31] :) [11:31] Thankyou for your time [11:31] i removed apt [11:31] by a mistake [11:31] np [11:31] FFFFFUUUU :d [11:31] internetlol, whoa... well you should go to the repos manually [11:31] naxa, cabaro thankyou for your time!

Will look into this [11:46] this could be the reason for some delays. he must wait for the usb stick [11:47] i don't think that you could change anything on this behaviour [11:47] hello all [11:47] bazi: How about lines 592 , 593 and 594 [11:48] sda (4gb medium) is your usb stick, right? [11:49] bazi, i also have a boot delay however not like this one. i'm booting from an USB hard drive (not flash) and after hitting enter on ubuntu in grub, but before first "[0.0000021] message" appears (i'm not using splash nor quiet) there is a 20 second delay, what seems to be some timeout for me. any idea what could it be? [11:49] 593 is a normal thing, no reason for panic, and 594 says that you should check your usb-stick with fsck [11:49] hi ..xchat not work with me any more ..it displays (USER :Not enough parameters) any solution? [11:50] bazi, i don't have messages like StaRetji however [11:50] naxa, could you paste a log (dmesg)? [11:50] yes, 4gb usb stick [11:50] Hello World ! [11:50] bazi, I could but there is no log for that 20 seconds due the kernel is not up [11:51] StaRetji, after 592 he waits for the usb stick, i'm sure [11:51] naxa, this means that the first log entry is AFTER the 20 seconds? [11:51] I have 2 keyboards connected to my system for various reasons, but I was wondering if I could make it so I have a terminal and one keyboard always writes to that window... [11:51] bazi, hey, actually it means that i'm not aware what's the real dmesg output! :D i'm pasting it [11:51] bazi: How about lines from 647 to 657 [11:51] does anyone use the fluendo plugins? === kb is now known as Guest95918 [11:52] it is a bit strange, specially last two lines [11:52] bazi, however the first message has a timestamp not [20.00000] but [00.00000] [11:52] what appears on the screen [11:52] StaRetji, the graphics driver trys anything, also a thing you couldn't change something.... [11:52] naxa, aaaah now i understand [11:53] ;) [11:53] does the hdd-led flash while waiting these 20 seconds? if yes, i think he tries to access the harddisk [11:53] bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu.com/288522/ here is my dmesg but I think it's just for system information..

[11:54] StaRetji, as you can see in naxa's log, the waittime after detecting the usb disk is a normal thing [11:55] bazi: yes, so I marked it as OK [11:56] naxa, i think he tries to access the harddisk, to is not a think of linux, more a thing of grub/lilo/{own bootloader}/...

I might be completely wrong though [16:30] ashley_: thats what i had to do and flash works fine [16:30] I have the flash player plug-in & something else as well that allows & works with flash - let me get the name 4 you [16:30] are there some service like landscape from canonical but free???

I would expect it .... [16:31] can u not open synaptic package manager [16:32] does someone know how to connect to this server via irssi?? it doesnt work (hate current client so need to go to irssi) [16:32] ashley_: can u not open synaptic package manager [16:32] IdleOne, it would be interesting to find out how is it really done. however there are pages on the internet saying "aptitude hangs while building the dependency tree" so it seems there is a more advanced method. what is more i don't see how this tactics won't end up in a loop [16:32] no sir [16:32] How to run Midnight Commander with only one command without run terminal?

There are 3 partitions in total. One is /boot, the other is swap, and the last is my root fs. The fourth is Win7 but I just want to leave that alone. I have heard dd is probably the best option. I am planning on writing the image of my local 250GB HD to my 1TB external HD. I want to reformat this weekend but just in case anything goes wrong I would like to just write the disk [16:42] resno: pm me I can talk you through a netboot [16:42] images back to my HD. Am I forgetting or overlooking anything that could go wrong? [16:42] tehbaut: It's technically impossible to use the entire space. You need to reserve at least _something_ for the filesystem data. [16:42] Join-D: Are you aware that you're currently talking on freenode right now? [16:42] tehbaut: heh heh. no, they simply use a different notion of what GB means. [16:42] anything that can go wrong, will [16:42] will someone please PM me to help me [16:42] Pici: i am aware, ty [16:42] Pici: but this client sux, i need cli client [16:42] tehbout, linux splits your HD into various partitions, some is used for the OS, some for SWAP space...etc [16:42] Pici: He is trying to connect with irssi instead of the current client. Scroll up. [16:42] Is there any app I can use to check SOCKS4 SOCKS5 proxies? [16:43] michael_: I feel like you are going about things the wrong way ... that package was built for something else and has dependencies that are not installable [16:43] tehbaut: depending on who you ask, 1GB either equals 2^30, or 10^9. those numbers are not the same. [16:43] well it's a bit annoying that I can't use a whole 45GB ...that's a lot of freaking space... [16:43] tehbaut: you're not gaining any extra space. [16:43] tehbaut: What OS X displays as 50 GB, is actually 5,000,000,000 bytes. [16:43] can you show how your paritions are setup, as this is probably the issue [16:43] Does anyone here use BBC iplayer on karmic x86_64 beta? [16:43] fccf: are you talking about the tomcat pack or eclipse? [16:43] tehbaut: it's just that hard disk manufacturers decided to adopt a convention that allowed their disks to appear bigger. [16:44] reality says GB is a multiple of 1024 hdd manufacturers say it is a multiple of 1000 extrapolate from there [16:44] why couldn't bits and bytes have been metric?! :P [16:44] michel_: eclipse [16:44] zer0x, #ubuntu+1 for karmic [16:44] Hey all - I'm in grub hell right now and I'm a little stumped. I'm working through the forums, but I can't escape the "Error 15" [16:44] Join-D: what does '/set user_name' give you? [16:45] hi everybody [16:45] Quontrex: nothing to do with reality. actually, the metric system does imply that 1GB = 10^9. hence the proliferation of GiBibytes and the like. it's a convention, like any other. [16:45] Hey -- on the website for Ubuntu LiveUSB creator it says: "Enables persistent home (Intrepid and later only; currently broken)". Is it broken? It seems to work, I couldn't find more info. [16:45] mquin: 17:46 [server] [16:45] 17:46 user_name = daniel [16:45] https://launchpad.net/liveusb [16:46] is there a way to boot to windows right from grub, without chainloading NTLDR? [16:46] chombeee, what version of ubuntu do you have [16:46] I successfully moved some partitions around, and I thought I updated /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab correctly, but Grub still can't find the root device. [16:46] bazhang: Apologies, doesn't seem anyone there atm uses it, I have strange behavior with mouse clicks in flash.. possibly purely an x86_64 issue!? [16:46] bazhang -- the latest [16:46] <[fade]> hi hi [16:46] tehbaut: Is there a way to boot to Linux right from ntldr, without chainloading GRUB? [16:46] bazhang (not the beta) [16:46] <[fade]> yes [16:46] <[fade]> install linux first, then windows [16:46] chombeee, usb-creator is in your menu, unetbootin in the repos [16:46] fccf: yeah, It isnt recommended for ubuntu yet, but it works.... minus the tomcat runtime ;).... the files are just set up different. I will try some symlinks to see it resolves it... And why would I always follow the rules of using what you are suppose to when I am using Ubuntu? [16:46] <[fade]> ntldr will recognise it [16:46] <[fade]> then modify boot.ini so that it says your os [16:47] <[fade]> not unknown system [16:47] yeah, I heard that too [16:47] mquin: irssi connect fine to other hosts [16:47] I have a LUKS-encrypted root partition that I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 to. I have of course placed /boot on a separate ext2 partition, and my boot loader loads and functions correctly. However, I can't seem to get my initrd to load the LUKS-encrypted root using the appropriate /dev/mapper/ address. Original question here: http://superuser.com/questions/50535/luks-encrypted-root-partition-in-ubuntu-9-04 [16:47] bazhang -- Yes. But is persistent home broken? It seems to say so on the USB creator website. UNetbootin does not seem to support persistency with Ubuntu [16:47] but I f-ed up my ntldr and I don't have a copy of vista since it came preinstalled [16:47] chombeee, system administration usb startup disk creator ; sudo apt-get install unetbootin ; I have had more luck with the latter [16:47] Vista doesn't use NTLDR... [16:48] katakaio, how are your partitions identified in menu.lst and fstab? uuid, /dev/hdXX etc [16:48] Join-D: try '/set -clear user_name' and see if that helps [16:48] michael_: except you say you are missing some jars ... they are here in the 'eclipse-jdt' package [16:48] Error 13 [16:48] tehbaut: many pcs have a special partition you can boot/restore the os. or track down that 'system-rescue live cd' it has tools to fix the ntldr i think [16:48] bazhang -- I know how to use them, they appear to work. I'm just worried by the website saying "currently broken", wonder if something will go wrong [16:48] what's the correct way to say: "Now is the time to close the window and move on" or "Now it's the time to close the window and move on", it also seems to me that using "it's" is incorrect (it should go on an ubuntu shirt) [16:48] mquin: trying now.. [16:48] chombeee, works fine here (unetbootin) [16:49] lightpriest: Please use #ubuntu-offtopic, this is not related to Ubuntu support. [16:49] bazhang -- did you get persistence with unetbootin? (i.e. when you save a file or setting it's still there when you reboot) [16:49] crash-t-dummy: In menu.lst, I have my Ubuntu entry pointed to (hd0,0), which is correct [16:49] lightpriest: Now it's time to close the window.... is correct ... I know contractions [16:49] Unetbootin does not do 'persistant' save files.. the pendrivelinux web site gives info on setting up persistant save however. [16:50] chombeee, let me check the settings [16:50] katakaio: what is the grub error number you recieve? [16:50] bigfootbuilt: no, the newer linux distros exasperate the issue.. some (sabayon) even cause the cpu to run while overheating, causeing damage [16:50] crash-t-dummy: It's "Error 15", which I think means that the mount point can be located [16:50] fccf: but from looking up the internet I see a definition for "a suitable time or period: Now is the time..." [16:51] mquin: looks like there is some standard password or something in MY config that fucksup the connection to irc.. how can i flush all irssi settings (or shall i uninstall + install) [16:51] fccf: now that i have been digging into it even more, the Jars are just flipped-flopped. With the ubuntu tomcat package they place some of the jars in the usr/share/tomcat/ dir instead of var/lib/tomcat6 [16:51] hello [16:51] katakaio: is your boot on its own partition? [16:51] Join-D: quit irssi, rm ~/.irssi/config, restart irssi === ash__ is now known as a_sh [16:51] Join-D: But the password should not be the issue :| [16:51] katakaio: and what is the filesystem? [16:51] Can anyone help me with anything? [16:51] grawity: then what is the issue? [16:51] tsmango, need a question [16:52] tsmango: some of us can help you with some things [16:52] crash-t-dummy: I have /, swap and /home partitions [16:52] I just installed Ubuntu yesterday [16:52] grawity: it keep telling me that i am not allowed to connect.. connection closed :( [16:52] fccf: and this eclipse package is looking for them in the wrong place..... will try some symlinks to see if it fixes it later on, after lunch!

[16:53] At least [16:53] thebaut: no, windows recovery environmnent, then grub-install [16:53] It's supposed to [16:53] Quontrex: Windows* [16:53] katakaio: is your / flagged as bootable? [16:53] is it bad to have a passphrase-less ssh keygen? [16:53] what?

Give me the username you used to purchase the ticket and i'll tell him. Thanks! [16:55] crash-t-dummy: No - the filesystem is unchanged. I haven't experimented with grub setup. Could you point me in the right direction? [16:56] wisey, dont advertise here [16:56] tsmango: mount the iso using sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso /some/directory then open nautilus/thunar/watever and right click the setup.exe in the mounted directory select run with wine [16:56] E aê.

I would guess that gparted doesn't like that first partition; I'm not sure how to walk you *safely* through a fix. [17:09] Quantrex - Thanks for the suggestion, but tht doesn't work [17:10] ilowe: it's recovery partition comes with my laptop , what about this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-260315.html ? [17:10] bazhang, not exactly too off topic though is it. also, whats the point in being interested in computing if your scared of an advert. [17:11] wisey, this is not the channel for it [17:12] kebomix: Ah, makes sense. You can try the stuff in that post; I can't speak to how well it will work. Shuffling partitions that have data in them is *VERY* dangerous and should only be attempted if you enjoy playing with broken pieces of your former partition table. [17:12] bazhang, what would you recommend. just ignore if it annoys you [17:12] kebomix: out of curiosity, what kind of laptop do you have? [17:12] anyone here every have problems with GigE and ethtool? maybe a chat outside of this channel would be better.

[17:19] The only way to install new programs into ubuntu is to have root.. right? [17:19] sako: well, there's a difference between "production" and mission-critical, isn't there? build a test system, put it through its paces, and decide whether it does what you need.

[17:20] sipior, is ext4 worth the trouble in the end is what I am asking...

[17:22] epaphus if you want a minimal install, you might want to get debian and then build on it.. debian you can install without any default wm [17:22] does anyone know where to find the right drivers for Memory Card Readers on Laptops?

[17:30] Tired_, why would you want to do that ? [17:30] skrite: use the minimal installer cd, don't choose any soft at all and then apt-get part for part, worked fine on my 430 celeron [17:30] Cuz it's what I have on hand. [17:31] Tired_, ah, you mean doing a netinstall ? [17:31] DasEi, cool, thanks [17:31] I don't want to buy a new flash drive or external CD-ROM for my netbook [17:31] No, I mean a netbook install [17:31] Tired_, what is on there currently [17:31] but erm, you mentioned from another live distro, so you already have a cdrom... ?

You could have stuck with a standard laptop [17:38] Tired_, apart from springing for a cheap flash drive, you could try lubi then move that to the hdd [17:39] mnaines, that's nice. i appreciate your opinion. now, can the ubuntu installer be called from an existing linux enviornment?

I guess you're telling me that Ubuntu can't do this, which is odd since Windows can [17:42] okay, im doing it. [17:42] Tired_: It would have been better if you would have had access to a CD drive [17:43] Tired_: one normally uses 'deboostrap' to install ubuntu onto a hard drive from within a different os.

[18:10] I have issues with Ubuntu. Is there someone who wants to help me? [18:10] Thanks :) [18:10] disappearedng_: ask in #openvpn please [18:10] sideris, was this a wubi install? ie from within windows? [18:10] !ask | DaveMustaine [18:10] DaveMustaine: 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. :-) [18:11] Thanks :) [18:11] is there a way to force a particular user to log out at a certain time [18:11] Well, I'm trying to put my .iso file [18:11] Does someone know what the package name of IONCUBE (php encryper) is ? [18:11] hi guys, how can I find out which swap partition is the currently active one? I had Ubuntu installed parallel to windows, then finally did the switch, but did not delete the old swap partition of the first install. Now I don't know which one to remove... [18:11] On a CD ReWritable (700MB) [18:11] markl_, kill his session [18:11] But when I write it everything's okay [18:11] DaveMustaine: You know how to use Bresaro? [18:11] But I still can't boot Ubuntu from my cd on my other pc [18:11] hello [18:12] if in GParted the keychain is missing next to the partition, its not mounted and should be the inactive swap, right? [18:12] I don't know what Bresaro is, dude. [18:12] hi guys do u know a tool for benchmarking network traffic within a LAN environment? [18:12] !bresaro [18:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about bresaro [18:12] Hackwar: look into /etc/fstab [18:12] davemustine - brasero ? [18:12] mnaines: do you mean brasero? [18:12] Does someone know what the package name of IONCUBE (php encryper) is ? [18:12] Hackwar: grep swap /etc/fstab [18:12] Hackwar: Aff [18:12] DaveMustaine: are you burning the ISO to the file like you would a text file or are you opening the ISO with the burner to let the burner put the data on the disk properly ? [18:12] my question is, after I start openvpn, (if I didn't use the script provided by the repository), and I found out that Ihave a new interface under ifconfig, how do I tell my computer to use that to connect to the internet [18:12] i think that k3b is better than brasero [18:13] try k3b [18:13] Does someone know what the package name of IONCUBE (php encryper) is ? [18:13] i;ve just download ubuntu from the internet with windows, burn it into a cd and made the install. i might done somethink wrong [18:13] how can i find out what domain a server is on? [18:13] --> ActionParsnip <-- I selected on Nero 7 = Write Image on CD === fanch_ is now known as georgesss [18:13] DaveMustaine - try k3b - is better an easier than brasero [18:13] i can connect to the server as a guest, but in order to get permissions i need to login, which requires DOMAIN\user [18:14] DaveMustaine: ok thats cool. Is the image you downloaded tested as ok? [18:14] I didn't test it [18:14] ramzess: better is an opinion so is not concrete [18:14] I put my cd into my cd drive [18:14] !md5 | DaveMustaine [18:14] DaveMustaine: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [18:14] And it loaded Windows [18:14] Does someone know what the package name of IONCUBE (php encryper) is ?

[18:15] Gotta go dinner [18:15] Cya in a few [18:16] fccf: samba [18:16] Another question: Brasero starts burning a DVD on my system and at about 70% the progress bar vanishes and it just says its still burning. then it takes another 10 minutes and then it seems to verify the burn. Is there any fix for this? I'd like to know what it does... [18:16] dabukalam: windows workgroup === georgesss is now known as purple === purple is now known as dfssdf [18:17] it's a linux box running a samba server. [18:17] it's definitely workgroup?

[18:18] so i made group www-data and put my ubuntu login and my ftpuser login into... then i login ftp and create file and is owner ftpuser and group www-data.. when i access/var/www with my ubuntu login its in same group with create delete access but i cannot [18:18] fccf: how do i find out the windows workgroup then? === dfssdf is now known as fanch [18:19] dabukalam: not my area of expertise .... perhaps ask in #samba [18:19] when i create the file with ubuntu as my login it goes to group of www-data also but i cannot manipulate it with ftpuser in same www-data group [18:19] Is it possible to manually change the privileges of a user account on Ubuntu? [18:19] I have a LUKS-encrypted root partition that I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 to. I have of course placed /boot on a separate ext2 partition, and my boot loader loads and functions correctly. However, I can't seem to get my initrd to load the LUKS-encrypted root using the appropriate /dev/mapper/ address. Original question here: http://superuser.com/questions/50535/luks-encrypted-root-partition-in-ubuntu-9-04 === jesse is now known as Guest71976 [18:20] dabukalam: first make sure they are in same network-segment [18:20] mnaines: in gui or terminal? [18:20] Does someone know what the package name of IONCUBE (php encryper) is ? [18:20] brandonc503: GUI...I am still a Linux newbie, so I have to rely on the GUI [18:20] DasEi: They're connected through a switch [18:20] Join-D, there is no such package per apt-cache search [18:20] cresc [18:20] mnaines: system administrator users groups [18:21] would there be some way to turn off Bluetooth (completely) other than the killswitch? using the bluetooth applet doesn't turn the light off. [18:21] Nattgew_: could rmmod the driver module [18:21] close your eyes [18:21] joaopinto: i Know.. but there must be something to get ioncube working on apache2/php5/ubuntu [18:21] hey how should I go about debugging what went wrong with /etc/init.d/openvpn start ? [18:21] Nattgew_, blacklisting the driver, not sure it works [18:21] joaopinto: google doenst help me either [18:21] brandonc503: I saw that...I am wondering if I can disable the ability to change user privileges [18:21] crescendo: you got to boot a live cd, mount the crypted / and the plain/boot, chroot into / then first link : [18:21] !grub [18:21] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [18:21] Nattgew_: sudo rmmod btusb [18:21] Join-D, I am not familiar with ioncube [18:22] DasEi, GRUB is fine - ubuntu can't find the root partition [18:22] mnaines: dont you have to hit the unlock button to make any changes? [18:22] dabukalam: fine, same segment ? [18:22] brandonc503: Yes. How do I keep other users from hitting the unlock button to change their privileges? [18:22] Join-D, and that's a paid product, so please ask to your support [18:23] mnaines, you removed them from the admin group [18:23] hi, i installed windows after ubuntu, and i cant get grup to find it. any help please? [18:23] ActionParsnip: rmmod btusb doesn't turn off the light... [18:23] joaopinto: So I just create a group and put what privileges I want them to have in that group? [18:23] there is check box under user privileges.. proble be it [18:23] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub nerdy_kid [18:23] crescendo: did you check the uuid's of fstab ? did you do any partitioning ? or did you put grub2 on it ? [18:24] Join-D: ioncube is not a package ... it comes as a tar.gz and you put it in your webserver directory [18:24] Nattgew_: sure but the kernel now doesnt know you have bluetooth as you removed the functionality [18:24] they can probbly see them but are greyed out [18:24] Join-D: extracted into webserver .. i mean [18:24] mnaines, no, if you don't want them to be able to perform administrative task, you just remove them from the admin group [18:24] Join-D: info here http://techgurulive.com/2008/09/16/how-to-install-ioncube-php-encoderdecoder/ [18:24] how do i change font size/resolution for console terminal with grub2? [18:24] DasEi, the uuid's in fstab are correct, but I worry that crypttab is not loaded in my initrd [18:24] joaopinto: Yeah...Thanks [18:24] i have a process that keeps getting out-of-memory-killed. how can i stop this from happenning? [18:25] ActionParsnip: ok, thanks... i was thinking that it didn't come on until some point in the boot process... maybe that's the wireless i'm thinking of [18:25] is anyone having a problem with adobe flash on x64? it shows the videos on pages, but when i click play, it does nothing. If i click it as the page loads, it will start playing but the controls wont work. [18:25] StrangeCharm: what process? [18:25] yukongt: works flawlessly here [18:25] at least does exists a way to switch to windows [18:25] crescendo: so recreate initrd chrooted in / would be the answer [18:25] DasEi: segment? [18:25] fccf, tor, it's a network routing application [18:25] DasEi, yes - but how do I do that for an encrypted system? Don't I need hooks and/or scripts? [18:25] yukongt: try unsinstalling all flash including gnash and swfdec and flashplugin-nonfree and flashplugin-installer [18:26] dabukalam: like 123.123.123.abc 123.123.123.123.abc [18:26] hello room, if i restore a database over another one through ssh, does it just append it, or overwrite it completely? [18:27] DasEi: yeah, they're the same segment [18:27] crescendo: no, if you manually mounted/decrypted it and then chrooted in, you can do [18:27] Bmachine, uh, that's a very unclear question, it depends on which type of database, and how you restore it [18:27] StrangeCharm: and I quote from the package discription "Remember that this is development code -- don't rely on the current Tor [18:27] network if you really need strong anonymity." [18:28] fccf, that's correct, but it has no crash bugs: it's getting killed by the oom-killer. i'm sure that there's some memory limit that i can tweak to set it straight [18:28] crescendo: what happens if you try to boot, grub comes up .. [18:29] Bmachine, please keep it on the channel, tks [18:29] joaopinto ok, on a ubuntu server, im restoring a sql backup i made of a database called db1 on top of db1 using this command : mysql -u -p databasename < backup.sql [18:29] Anyone willing to help me burn a DVD here? [18:29] Bmachine, if you want a clean restore, recreate the database on the restore system before imporing the data. [18:29] DasEi, I pass GRUB successfully. The error I get is regarding "unable to locate /dev/mapper/sdb" [18:29] can someone point me in the right way to installing MS visio with wine [18:29] StrangeCharm: but a memory-leak is considered a bug, and if that is the case and it is still crashing, file a bug report, or fix it yourself and recompile [18:29] I have a DVD-R (16x) in a DVD-R/RW drive, I've tried various programs to burn 2 files, but it always fails. [18:29] Bmachine, unless your .sql already contains drop tables... [18:29] how do you recreate it? [18:29] Kaell: my specialty. What are you trying to burn, and to where? [18:30] bazhang thanks, that looks like what i need ;) [18:30] Bmachine, you drop it and you create it [18:30] crescendo: and then you also won't get a pw-prompt I assume [18:30] BraseroGrowisofs stderr: /dev/scd0: "Current Write Speed" is 8.2x1352KBps. BraseroGrowisofs stderr: :-[ WRITE@LBA=0h failed with SK=5h/ASC=21h/ACQ=02h]: Invalid argument BraseroGrowisofs stderr: :-( write failed: Invalid argument [18:30] so executing drop commands on all the tables is "recreating it"? [18:30] fogel_: #winehq [18:30] DasEi, cryptsetup completes and I do enter my passphrase [18:30] asdas [18:30] DasEi, and THAT is when it fails [18:30] Bmachine, I was refering to the database, but yes, you could also truncate the tables, if they are not that much [18:30] fccf, i'm resonably confident that it doesn't have a memory leak, and that it's my setup on this box that's to blame. i safely run it on several other machines [18:30] Kaell: brasero tends to be very buggy. Would you consider using k3b? [18:31] someone succelfully installed ioncube (php-encrypter) on a ubuntu server machine? [18:31] Bmachine, but, depending on how you generate the .sql backup, it may already contain the drop tables [18:31] sorry for the noobness, but droping is basically deleting correct? [18:31] Kaell: of just the command line? [18:31] i'll use anything, sure... do i just apt-get it? [18:31] sure [18:31] crescendo: get the message decryption succesfull, then get dropped ? [18:31] Kaell: first, which os version are you running? [18:32] Bmachine, dropping, is destroying, a database or a table [18:32] 8.03 [18:32] err. 8.04 [18:32] joaopinto, and truncating is clearing it right? [18:32] Bmachine, you really need some DB basic skills :) [18:32] Bmachine, correct [18:32] @ both [18:32] xlol [18:32] joaopinto, thanks, im really working backwards unfortunatly, i know the commands, just not the vocab [18:33] StrangeCharm: I am not using Tor, and I don't know any who are ... you are probably alone in your endeavor ... you say you have it running on other machines (same version, same OS???) then you have a working relationship with it which I do not... what Release are you running anyway? [18:33] Kaell: good. You could just install k3b. But it will pull in a bunch of kde libraries so it's ok unless you are tight on disk space... [18:33] i'll play with k3b for a bit, thanks for the recommendation... will come back with results ;) [18:33] DasEi, correct [18:33] ok, thanks [18:33] apt-get reports already newest version [18:33] guess it is already installed, heh [18:34] joaopinto, thank you for your help. [18:34] fccf, same version, same os. latest stable version. i'm resonably confident that the problem is the the memory limits, but i don't know how to change them [18:34] Kaell: ok, put in a blank CD/DVD crank up k3b [18:34] np [18:34] crescendo: if you chroot into / , are the mountpoints there ? /dev/mapper... and are the correct identifiers in fstab ? (not sda but sdaX ? [18:34] hello, I want to make a copy of my home dir from my laptop onto my desktop, so I can work on those files, and then be able to copy them back. Basically make a desktop-local copy so I can do the work I usually do on my laptop on my desktop, then copy them back. Plus, it'd be nice to keep a relatively recent copy of the files on my desktop. I've read about rdiff-backup but it seems like it's not friendly to working on/making modifications t [18:34] o the backed up files. What would be the best way to do this? [18:34] StrangeCharm: How much memory do you have? [18:35] i'm still helpless gays, sorry if i became annoying [18:35] is anybody using bacula? [18:35] mnaines, 256mb [18:36] dksoba88: look into rsync [18:36] grendal_prime, will do thank you [18:36] StrangeCharm: There's your problem. You need at least 1GB to run Ubuntu [18:36] thats its entire purpose in live === mabus_ is now known as mabus [18:36] dksoba88: Are both running linux? If so, I would use rsync to copy between them. It can be made to only copy changes so you don't waste time copying stuff back and forth that you haven't edited.... [18:36] mnaines, i'm running jaunty server [18:36] how can u see memory in MB or GB on cli? [18:37] StrangeCharm: Ubuntu Server is 64-bit, and 64-bit Ubuntu needs a minimum of 1GB of RAM [18:37] Join-D: free -m [18:37] llutz: thx [18:38] looks like its working now, thanks losha ... although it did initially say "OPC failed. Please try writing speed 1x.", it then started writing at 8.20x, and seems to be progressing fine. [18:38] mnaines: Ubuntu server is not 64bit .. there is a 32bit version of ubuntu server and it will run in 256mb ram [18:38] llutz: -m is megabyte? [18:38] mnaines, ubuntu server is available in both 32 and 64 bit versions, and requires only 256mb of ram. please see http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-server [18:38] my wifi doesn't work on jaunty on an acer aspire one model z5g. I have tried blacklisting ath_wmi, and using the madwifi drivers. I have fully updated my system since installing it from cd. still, only ethernet works. why wouldn't ubuntu netbook remix work on a popular netbook? what's the method to get it to work? [18:38] losha, yea, both are running ubuntu. Started using Ubuntu about 8 mo ago on my laptop, and it spread like a virus to every comp I own lol [18:39] fccf: 1GB is what I recommend because it leaves room for services or programs to run. Ubuntu itself requires the 256, but if you want to run other programs, you need more memory [18:39] losha, I'm hooked [18:39] dksoba88: rsync is the way to go. Read the man page, then come here & ask... [18:39] mnainus: how much ddr do u have ? [18:39] mnaines: how much ddr do u have ? [18:39] HEya I'm back.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [18:40] ... [18:40] DaveMustaine: you wanted to delete windows? [18:41] Yeah [18:41] Kaell: I've never had an OPC failure (but I see others have). Be sure to verify the burn... [18:41] Need to delete windows [18:41] Because I can't run Ubuntu on boot [18:41] Kaell: dropbox ftw [18:41] And I don't like win btw [18:41] Yeah, i checked verify at the start... it is an important backup ;) [18:41] Kaell: I used to think dropbox was great, but then I realized, hey, that's only half a DVDs worth of data. Why not just burn a backup DVD... [18:41] DaveMustaine: do you have ubuntu installed and working? [18:42] --> fccf <-- Nope. Need help to install it too. [18:42] DaveMustaine: boot with LIVE CD of ubuntu ... and we can go from there [18:42] Will there be a difference in 64-bit Ubuntu between 5-5-5-15-2T RAM and 4-4-4-12-2T RAM?

[19:00] I'm guessing it has more to do with latency than bandwidth [19:01] DaveMustaine, a torrent is a single file that contains information about a specific download; the people who have that file are called "peers", and those peers are tracked on what is called a "torrent tracker" - mininova is that tracker. To connect to a "network" of peers, you need the torrent file. To use the torrent file, you need a torrent client (Transmission is the default Ubuntu torrent client). The client will ask the server (the [19:01] tracker), "who are my peers", and then will try to connect to them for that file.

[19:40] Ledif-Nieht, "sudo apt-get update" [19:40] DaveMustaine: is it 66fa77789c7b8ff63130e5d5a272d67b ? [19:40] ZykoticK9: Will that also install any Ubuntu security updates? [19:40] Wait [19:40] ZykoticK9 : yes and the program uses my webcam instead of the scanner [19:40] The code that appeared?

[19:42] yes it's a scanner but Xsane doesn't recognize it. It scans with the webcam... [19:42] gidna, lol ahhhh! [19:43] anyway i remember the code a bit [19:43] And it's similar [19:43] This is the code that appeared now 66fa77789c7b8ff63130e5d5a272d67b [19:43] gidna, did you verify that your scanner is supported by sane? http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html [19:43] crescendo: grub 2 has known issues with lvm, you didn't do a dist-upgrade from jaunty to karmic ? so how is grub2 in jaunty ??? [19:43] On the MD5 SUM string there is this 66fa77789c7b8ff63130e5d5a272d67b [19:44] DaveMustaine: is it 66fa77789c7b8ff63130e5d5a272d67b ? [19:44] The compare string is empty [19:44] 66fa77789c7b8ff63130e5d5a272d67b [19:44] YES!!! [19:44] DasEi, no, I installed package grub2 [19:44] DasEi, then wrote it to /boot [19:44] Yes that's it [19:44] crescendo: please scroll back above, that's a known bug, I asked for that very early, sigh [19:45] DasEi, the compare string is empty [19:45] !info pv [19:45] pv (source: pv): Shell pipeline element to meter data passing through.

[19:47] it's an integrated webcam [19:47] crescendo: your way will be to undo all changes, get rid of grub 2 and install grub legacy [19:47] !iptables [19:47] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [19:47] anyone move from gnome to kde? [19:47] DasEi, grub legacy is not supported [19:47] DasEi, :[ [19:47] it is, jaunty [19:48] #grub says it is not supported [19:48] --> DasEi <-- After I burn it? [19:48] osotogari, (for reasons unknown to me) lots of people switch to KDE - do you have a question? Ask if you do. [19:49] crescendo, #grub doesn't determine what ubuntu supports, they just mean _they_ don't support it [19:49] cwillu_at_work, I see. [19:49] people, would someone help me install ubuntu on a Olivetti Series 500 Laptop PLEASE ? [19:49] DaveMustaine: close utorrent, install k3b, burn at low speed to burn it [19:49] cwillu_at_work, what rules and processes should I follow to determine where I should get support from?

Generally if you're installing a distributor's package (such as debian, ubuntu, redhat, etc), you get support from the distro [19:50] DaveMustaine: could tell that in a linux channel, k, got nero ? [19:50] Pici: just to keep you in the loop dude, I managed to find the key bindings. You can do a search in gconf that will find the keybindings in /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/ this path appended to ~/.gconf will get you the xml file in that list :) [19:50] Yes >_> [19:51] crescendo, if you go upstream, you have to be willing to install the upstream source as well, which is generally a source build which you'd have to do the work of integrating into our system (i.e., the job normally done for you by the distro) [19:51] DaveMustaine: so burn iso to disc, lower the burn-speed [19:51] cwillu_at_work, the bootloader I have on my harddrive should not be any business of my operating system's [19:51] Burn iso to disc = create iso / udp cd [19:51] Or burn image to cd [19:51] ??? [19:51] in theory, at least [19:52] crescendo, no, it has to be involved, because the distro has to know how to tell the bootloader how to boot it [19:53] --> DasEi <-- Burn iso to disc = create iso / udp cd Or burn image to cd? [19:53] cwillu_at_work, I see. I think I'm just in for a world of hurt...

[19:53] guys, installing from the alternate cd. I'm manually partitioning. What's the proper way to encrypt /home with the alternate cd? When I try to configure encrypted volumes I get "Unsafe SWAP detected" error message [19:54] cwillu_at_work: he installed grub 2 on a crypted system, which is known to mess up [19:54] jbwiv, swap is an extension of memory, if it's not encrypted, then it is likely to contain big traces of whatever you've accessed in your home [19:54] would someone help me please install ubuntu 9.04 on an olivetti series 500 laptop? [19:54] --> DasEi <-- I have just 10x speed.. [19:54] crescendo, feel free to pm me === vatts is now known as vatts[off] [19:55] cwillu_at_work: I certainly understand that. But I'm asking how I encrypt swap from the partition manager on the alternate cd? [19:55] jbwiv, no idea, sorry :p [19:55] DaveMustaine: or even slower, fine [19:55] jbwiv, just explaining the error [19:55] cwillu_at_work: ok [19:55] Disc - at - once / track - at - once? [19:56] can someone recommend a DatabaseDesign software for ubuntu? [19:56] --> DasEi <-- Disc - at - once / track - at - once? [19:56] jbwiv: it's very comfortable use whole disk crypte, the installer sets up a lvm for you in where you can size the swap [19:56] so when i login to ftp with username:ftp3 and open file i get read only cause it thinks im brandon, my ubuntu logn [19:56] Okay, I got an issue to resolve. I have a SystemImage (via SystemImage) on my computer here. The image is 15GB. I want to put it onto DVDs. I have 3GB of space left available. Any way I can do this? [19:57] DaveMustaine: disc at once, finalize it [19:57] Wazzzzaaaaa [19:57] writing error at 6%, my dvd drive makes strange noises [19:57] oo [19:57] try a different disc [19:58] need help with usplash.

[20:00] I need to port ubuntu on my other computer [20:00] jbwiv: I see, then it is like having to double all partitions to crypt before going on [20:00] teleporter redy, energize [20:00] ahh, you had already [20:02] what is wrong with this ???

[20:02] jbwiv: before I go own fishing in the dark, a more detailed overview ? [20:02] did something break ssh in a recent patch? sshd is running, but the port is filtered, iptables has no rules on it [20:02] pete_: the blank before home ?! [20:03] * mvo Is leaving [20:03] pete_, you have a space before home [20:03] ext4 in jaunty? [20:03] DasEi, thanks [20:03] DasEi, it's supported [20:03] DasEi, remember me...? [20:03] DasEi: I figured it out. I dropped to another console and cat'd /proc/swaps. Looks like it had already mounted a swap partition. swapoff'd it and everything is fine. thank you for your help [20:03] frostburn: Are you on Karmic? [20:04] frostburn: I know, but mount doesn't know ext4, fstab ? you know ? === Dream is now known as Dream-UBu === Dream-UBu is now known as Dream-Ubu [20:04] --> DasEi <-- i don't want to giive up [20:04] So.. [20:05] jbwiv: no swap, no pc, no prob, [20:05] hey - has anyone had any experience with ankama-games Dofus? and if so do you know how to play it without having to use WINE? [20:05] DaveMustaine: right, you got two machines, one running win with the iso on, the other running what ? specs of that ubuntu-target ? [20:05] is ext4 as stable as ext3 now? Is it the recommended file system? [20:06] The other running win too [20:06] And on the other I want ubuntu [20:06] Hi. [20:06] erm try Wubi dave [20:06] if its running windows [20:06] jbwiv: I had no probs after converting, but tend to say that jaunty is still ext3 until you like the risk [20:07] I don't want windows on the other [20:07] Just Ubuntu [20:07] hey, I'm on Jaunty and I want to try Karmic, I've updated my repositry with apt-get update, and the update manager GUI isn't telling me there's a new dist available, what must I be doing wrong? [20:07] well use a live disk to install ubuntu and remove windows from the grub list [20:07] or, install over windows [20:07] Anyway I copied the .iso file on my other pc and I can open it with winRar [20:07] ... [20:07] Live disk = can't write it [20:07] usb drive? [20:07] and unetbootin [20:08] It blocks at 5% [20:08] MenZa, jaunty [20:08] Dunno why.. [20:08] With usb it blocks at 5% [20:08] I have a nvidia software raid that stopped working now [20:08] DasEi, it should from a cd install rather than upgrade [20:08] erm, can you see it doing anything at all? [20:08] --> Dream-Ubu <-- ? [20:09] room #openerb [20:09] when booting up it drops to busy box and says /dev/mapper/nvidia_af534903... does not exist [20:09] Dave: thinking :) [20:09] Hey all [20:09] Dave: does it do it when you try n make a live CD also? [20:09] I know i had the same problem before when i tried to installusing th edesktop live cd. some module was missing. worked fine with the server cd [20:09] --> Dream-Ubu <-- In my other pc I can open the ISO file with WinRAR dunno why.. [20:10] On this pc I can't write the live pc [20:10] Cd* [20:10] While in my other I can write easily the .iso [20:10] Hi all! [20:10] But I can't boot from cd dunno why [20:10] frostburn: I know you can se ext4 in jaunty as I did and do so, but fsatb remains ext3 there, it's just the journaling (and some more) stuff that changes then for future writings, the whole install before converting will also stay ext3, so I don't THINK fstab does it, though don't really know [20:10] hey guys, what is the latest firefox available from the repo for ubuntu? [20:10] dave: boot order! cmos!

[20:34] frostburn, why would it be available as a seperate package though? [20:34] Jordan_U [20:34] can anybody guide me to a good resource explaining how to get mic working in skype ? Thx in advance [20:35] epaphus, because it was introduced between point releases [20:35] epaphus: FF3.5 was not ready in time for ubuntu 9.04 release [20:35] jrib: Please be nice until something calls for an action. People beeing friendly is never wrong. [20:35] epaphus: An Ubuntu release includes all of the packages it comes with, so there are no ( or very few ) major version upgrades between releases [20:36] WanHouse: I am being nice, I'm letting you know what this channel is for [20:36] i see that chown_uploads will change anonymouly uploaded files will have owner changed. but what about logins that i make for people? how do i change their chmod? [20:36] jrib: Ok, rock on. [20:37] When booting a LUKS-encrypted root install of Ubuntu 9.04, I am asked once to enter my passphrase by device address, then again by UUID, and then over 20 times by UUID again. How do I fix this? [20:37] jrib: The conversation was about game-nostalgia. You understood that right ? [20:37] WanHouse: I don't really feel like discussing it anymore [20:38] jrib: Alright [20:39] WanHouse: in the future if you have a problem with something an OP in a Ubuntu channel tells you please take it to #ubuntu-ops to discuss it. Thank you. [20:39] IdleOne: Np [20:39] dave: still here? [20:40] how do I format a drive as NTFS?

I suspect that it is due to a missing/wrong signature - can anybody help me with this?

[20:43] the graphics card doesn't have a fan [20:44] Jeotheleo: what about blowing the dust off of it? [20:44] thiebaude, I do believe it all started after I installed nvidia [20:44] JeoTheLeo, which nvidia? [20:44] nvidia graphics card... [20:45] Dream-Ubu, off of the card or the fans? [20:45] I can feel the graphics card....it's hot [20:45] and the program indicates a 56 degree core temperature [20:46] Is there any vector graphics program for Linux? [20:46] blow the dust off!

[20:50] Lord-Readman, yes [20:51] o_portista17, thank you [20:51] !crosspost [20:51] Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [20:51] Lord-Readman, just keep applying your updates [20:52] hej [20:52] I have an issue on my LAN ( http://realityme.net/2009/10/07/the-local-area-network-issue/ ) where each of the machines can talk to one another but I have to specify them by ip address or machine name. For instance, I used to be able to go to Places->Network->Windows Server->Workgroup and see the machines on the LAN. [20:52] Now I get "Unable to mount location" [20:52] Is this something to do with the recent SAMBA update? [20:53] hahaha [20:53] widze twoje ip [20:53] o [20:54] oo [20:54] słyszysz mnie [20:54] jo [20:54] beka [20:54] glosno i niewyraznie [20:54] anybody got the tabs on ecryptfs and encrypted home dirs on ubuntu? [20:54] nie potrzeba gg [20:54] a po kiemu oni gadajom? [20:54] o, widze ze tu inny language jest nawet ;p [20:54] po englishu [20:54] Another wildcard is that I used to have a Windows 2000 server on the LAN. Maybe it was acting as a domain controller. By folloing the "OpenLDAP + Samba as a domain controller" instructions would this problem go away?

Are you having problems getting it to actually pass the files thyrough encryption? That might be fixable... [21:51] gunbert Is there a way to fix this? [21:51] guntbert, I know there's a million excuses :-) I am just trying to get in touch with someone with some ecryptfs experience :-) [21:51] fccf: hehe [21:51] shawn_: tell your client to limit its bandwidth usage [21:52] I dont seem to be able to install many packages with apt-get, does anyone know why? even packages that are fairly standard. [21:52] Keiya, I have my passphrase but lost my root dir and thus the .sig files [21:52] gunbert Its only downloading at 60 KB/s..... Why should that be slowing everything down this much [21:52] chrisr: install synaptic [21:52] --> Dream-Ubu <-- USB drive not working [21:52] Hmm. I'm not too familiar with it, but it probably works like GPG - you have a key, and a passphrase to unlock the key.

[21:53] shawn_: what is slowing something down ? [21:53] Need help!!! Script only works if executed from terminal, if called via keyboard button or schedule it doesn't ?!? THX [21:53] JanHolbo: Don't give up yet though, I've been wrong before! [21:53] Keiya, like : "real men don't make backups - but they cry a lot" ? :-) [21:53] WanHouse, Torrenting slows my whole network down by an extreme amount [21:53] JanHolbo: you were not my intended target :-) [21:54] shawn_: Behind a nat itll be a bit slower, yes...

(chmod +x /path/to/script) [21:54] I really hate how ubuntu deals with proxies [21:54] shawn_: do it the other way: limit your client (especially upload) and see how it works === etchedskye is now known as _s_k_y_ [21:54] Keiya, yeah - I have the passphrase and I know one of the filenames - brute force is possible but don't know about the timeframe .... [21:55] guntbert, will I did the offense :-) [21:55] VCoolio: I will try that now! Thx man [21:55] guntbert, Would limiting my upload fix the problem a lot? [21:55] JanHolbo: " The user SHOULD ABSOLUTELY RECORD THE MOUNT PASSPHRASE AND STORE IN A [21:55] It just cant do it properly. When im at work I have a proxy, at home i have no proxy. But ubuntu writes the proxy details in files! in files that it doesnt switch back when you stop using the proxy [21:55] SAFE LOCATION.

You're probably not getting back in, and brute force is probably not viable (If it is, I wouldn't recommend using ecryptfs :P) [21:56] Keiya, I have the passphrase though - but not the /home/user/.ecryptfs files ..... [21:57] Keiya: A password guessing code could break the pw in some length of time, granted its not a very very hard password [21:57] Still, everything is prossible given some time [21:57] WanHouse: Sure, but my reading is that it does a GPG-like system. He has the password but not the private key. I might be wrong though... still looking [21:57] shawn_: please try it - if it doesn't help come back === [A]Cenar is now known as [A]KangB [21:57] WanHouse: Not a viable recovery option always, though. [21:57] VCoolio: I did that now, but still the same.

Sorry. [21:58] Keiya, I actually think it is a symmetrical keysystem but I might be wrong [21:58] Keiya: Semi-last resort. On windows its the first one because its so sucky :P [21:58] StaRetji: that's because things in/etc/init.d are only run on boot, that is before gdm login screen; if you want it afterwards you need to put the command in your startup apps or somethings [21:58] WanHouse: It's not the /password/ though [21:58] He has that. [21:59] JanHolbo: Eh, so? There wouldn't be a copy of the key in the files [21:59] Keiya: Passphraze, passcert etc. Same thing [21:59] panfist: can you give me a discription of the hardware this is running on ?

[22:00] it's using a sata hard disk and IDE cdrom drive [22:00] Keiya, no but it should be possible to recreate the key from the passphrase that FAQ mentions if you lose the passphrase [22:00] WanHouse: Synaptec cant reload the packages, says it cant connect to the net [22:00] VCoolio: Because if I call it /etc/init.d/fixmtrr.sh it will work [22:00] VCoolio: I have only fluxbox, unfortunately [22:00] chrisr: You mean Synaptic ?

[22:02] WanHouse: yeah [22:02] With a weak passphrase, you could bruteforce that [22:02] but... you're not looking for the passphrase [22:02] WanHouse: it cant download anything [22:02] JanHolbo: If you selected a strong passphrase or lost your key file, you are completely out of luck.

You solve a guys problem and two more show up asking the same :o [22:55] Samus_Aran: it's worth a try.. it might be a bug in the nvidia driver.. if that is the case I assume they will fix it... sooner or later [22:55] Slart: or using a beta if there is one. I'll go ask in #nVIDIA, didn't realise this was a problem related to ... broken video card drivers. eesh. :p [22:55] Samus_Aran: that might work too.. hope that fixes it [22:55] I don't get why "host" could even be affected by libGL [22:55] Samus_Aran: nope.. it doesn't make sense to me neither [22:55] I have the netbook launcher in Ubuntu 8.04.

[22:56] billye: we didn't know one minute ago... you need to wait at least 15 minutes before repeating your question [22:56] k [22:56] im sorry [22:57] Berzerker: not sure if devilspie can do it.. but it's worth taking a look at [22:57] billye: while your waiting you can try looking on the ubuntu forums to see if there is any info [22:57] k [22:57] Berzerker: there might be some compiz way of doing it too.. at least I think compiz is responsible for handling the different desktops [22:58] Slart, compiz --replace [22:58] I can't uninstall google chrome for ubuntu;help me,please! [22:58] Slart, ? [22:58] fccf: all right, i'm at a loss. I believe the problem is it is not recognizing the driver or no driver is installed or something similar. on boot up i get error can't find intel EE 00 or something similar and then it goes into what seems to be some sort of lesser back up GUI where I can 'reconfigure graphics settings' 'troubleshoot' 'drop to commandline' etc [22:58] Berzerker: nah.. that just starts compiz and makes it take control of the screen [22:59] Slart, yeah i don't think I'm using compiz right now [22:59] Berzerker: but I wouldn't be surprised if there was something like "compiz-launch --desktop=2 MyAwesomeProgram" [22:59] hi guys i have a computer with ubuntu 9.04 and an nvidia video card and for some reason it shows the top resolution as 1024x768 even though in windows xp it shows higher resolution is there a workaround to this problem?

I'm trying to dd a usb image of memtest86 onto a usb pen drive, but i can't work out how to work out my device dev, for example /dev/sda/ -- searched google to no avail. how do i do this? thanks. :) [23:15] modus, broadcom.....ouch - endless problems with broadcom wireless dirvers in linux becuase of proprietary drivers....which ubuntu version are you using? [23:15] xteejx: this is something that upstream is aware of, and the only actual fix for this is to run the card in ndiswrapper , with the windows driver, getting it to run natively is going to take more than a little development effort [23:15] rigodeni, ahh ok i only know of that and fuzz [23:16] thats the thing. im actually using BT4 but there forum has not been much help for a begginer [23:16] fccf, you're kidding? i mean its usable....barely, and it Is getting better with each release but its so damn painful lol [23:16] I have been advised by them to ask in the ubuntu forums for help [23:16] Hey! I'm trying to run netbook-launcher in 8.04. But when I try to run, it complains "libGL error: open DRM failed (Operation not permitted)/libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering" [23:16] what would be the smartest way to copy a file? cp? or is there something more advisable for cifs shares? like robocopy or xcopy on windows [23:16] sorry all how do i see my hosts file [23:17] vraa: cp would work.. you can use rsync if you want a nice progress bar and some other nifty features [23:17] master_: it's /etc/hosts. any text editor can see it [23:17] Hey! I'm trying to run netbook-launcher in 8.04. But when I try to run, it complains "libGL error: open DRM failed (Operation not permitted)/libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering" [23:17] Hey guys, is there some bug in the gtk where wizard buttons are having problems? Has this been a common issue in here? [23:17] i thought rsync needed to run on both server and client? [23:17] Hey! I'm trying to run netbook-launcher in 8.04. But when I try to run, it complains "libGL error: open DRM failed (Operation not permitted)/libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering" [23:17] ie: i'd have to install it on the windows machine as well? rather than using samba/cifs? [23:17] modus, i'll be honest backtrack4 while its good, the support for proprietary drivers is bad, i would guess that in ubuntu it would simply be a case of going to "Hardware Drivers" and installing the proprietary drivers, on backtrack I would guess it would be a custom kernel build as afaik it doesnt support dkms, or using ndiswrapper with windows drivers [23:18] how can i remove a program that is .exe after I have installed it with WINE [23:18] vraa: nope.. you of course need to mount the remote drive so you have access to it.. then you can use rsync just as a "copy but with more bling bling" [23:18] modus, i mean you can TRY ndiswrapper [23:18] okay that makes a lot of sense [23:18] BellinXFelon: Go to the Wine menu. Click Uninstall Wine Software. Follow the options [23:18] thanks let me google and read up on it Slart [23:18] BellinXFelon, check if it's in Applications / Wine / Uninstall Wine Software [23:18] yes you are right. i have read about this. but can you hel me with that plz [23:18] BellinXFelon: What he said [23:18] Hey! I'm trying to run netbook-launcher in 8.04. But when I try to run, it complains "libGL error: open DRM failed (Operation not permitted)/libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering" [23:18] vraa: you're welcome [23:19] modus, that's a bit beyond my grasp ill be honest [23:19] GUYS, is anyone able to help modus with ndiswrapper and broadcom drivers in backtrack 4?? [23:19] one more thing, how can I get .mkv playback in totem? [23:21] BellinXFelon: Add/Remove software. Try installing "ubuntu restricted extras" and tell me if it works [23:22] BellinXFelon, looks like you might have problems with Totem crashing while playing mkv files. You might want to check out mplayer/vlc instead. Good luck. [23:22] billye : I have that already, i can pastebin the error message [23:22] BellinXFelon: k [23:23] BellinXFelon: I'd also recommend getting VLC. It's far better than Totem IMHO. I don't personally like Mplayer at all. [23:23] billye: I have vlc [23:23] BellinXFelon: Have you tried using it for the .mkv? [23:24] billye : yes i think [23:24] How good is vlc for playing audio? Any advantage over Rhythmbox? [23:24] xteejx: modus: backtrack4 is not supported here, technically ...... it is not officially ubuntu and therefore cannot be supproted here ...

If you're looking for a replacement of Rhythmbox I'd suggest Songbird (very iTunes looking - it's available from getdeb) [23:26] Rhythmbox is the best IMHO [23:26] BellinXFalcon: Add/Remove software.

[23:28] anybody here i need suport :))) [23:28] Anyone know an app to manage my audio books? I could import them into Rhythmbox, but then they clutter it up, and I'd rather have music in there.

[23:29] easy? [23:29] IdleOne: so what do they mean? :) [23:29] fccf: no need to sudo su - you can do it from sudo [23:30] Mike_lifeguard: means if you want to fetch the source you need them there [23:30] linxeh: to run as another user? not root? [23:30] but then i have problems with programs keyrings [23:30] In a class I'm taking on system administration, we were discussing runlevels.

[23:38] !clone [23:38] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [23:38] damn thing hangs on youtube videos and can't be killed [23:38] I'm lost [23:38] linxeh, what I had in mind was that, in other *nix systems, changing runlevel from 5 to 3 would shut down the GUI -- which could be useful, if you want the machine to run more efficiently for a while and don't need the GUI. [23:38] sako, dpkg -l #should do [23:39] StaRetji: reccommend taking that 'bug' to launchpad > XBMC PPA [23:39] And of course, changing runlevel from 3 to 5 would start up the GUI. [23:39] Hi, I'm trying to change the motd, but I guess it keeps getting overwritten by update-motd. I like most of what that package does, but I want to remove the uname line in particular -- however I can't find where that is added (it isn't any of the scripts in /etc/update-motd.d/). Does anyone know where that is added so I can remove it? [23:39] anybody knows wicd ad-hoc workaround? trying to connect with ipod touch if anybody have exp. [23:39] FoolishOwl: uhuh [23:39] Mike_lifeguard: edit /etc/motd.tail [23:39] lstarnes: That is not where the uname line is added. [23:40] FoolishOwl: whats the problem ? [23:40] lstarnes: which is specifically what I want to be rid of :) [23:40] fccf thx dude, i tried on their channel they blow me like a soccer ball :) told me it is not xbmc that hangs, but rather youtube plugin [23:40] FoolishOwl, you can mess around customizing a runlevel -- but it's simpler just disabling the gdm or kdm service [23:40] FoolishOwl, there are ways of stopping the GUI ( $ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ) runlevels just aren't used the same way in Ubuntu -- no way to "fake" them...

Question: does xbmc crash even when not actually interacting with the Youtube API? [23:44] i have the problem i have vista in my compyouter i ned install ubuntu [23:45] y [23:45] fccf almost never [23:45] Mike_lifeguard, Possibly, it's been awhile since I've run any version of ubuntu [23:45] Administrateur, have you tried booting from a LiveCD? [23:45] Everybody stop... Administrateur has a more serious problem LOL [23:45] Administrateur: Good news! You've come to the right place. Do you know if you want a dual-boot system? Or do you want to get rid of Windows entirely? [23:45] this is my first time back on the wagon, but I'm seeing slower speeds than on my windows boxes [23:45] fccf you're right, it has to be plugin problem [23:45] Administrateur try Wubi ... [23:45] fccf: HEY! That *is* a serious problem! >:D [23:45] specifically a slower download...upload seems to be an improvement over windows [23:46] It IS Bug #1. [23:46] Mike_lifeguard: good to see you again ... I was being serious and funny at the same time , wow! [23:46] Mike_lifeguard: I think it's something in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh [23:46] Mike_lifeguard: why do you need to remove the uname? [23:47] lstarnes: well, I don't *need* to :D [23:47] * Mike_lifeguard looks there... [23:47] Mike_lifeguard: generally, modifying system init scripts isn't a good idea [23:47] i have ubuntu in my clé usb [23:47] Since the special laptop-function button associated with turning on and off the wireless interface doesn't work, is there a command-line alternative to turning it on? [23:47] lstarnes: Yes, well it shouldn't be in an init script! :D [23:48] Mike_lifeguard: file a bug report or feature request for the initscripts package [23:48] Administrateur: cl? ... usb? please make full sentences, explain your sitiuation [23:49] fccf: "cle" is french for key. it's a USB key with ubuntu on it [23:49] i can't format my lap top that my situation i have vista you indrestand [23:49] is there any way of getting a full list of packages found on the ubuntu cd repositories (non-networked) from their site (meaning not downloading the cd)? [23:49] lstarnes: good call... I'll do that... except I don't see it there. I'll look through the rest of the scripts though...

[23:51] how do I enable ctl alt backspace? [23:52] !dontzap | Lenin_Cat [23:52] Lenin_Cat: 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. [23:52] distrohopper: you could use ps aux to see what processes are being run [23:52] distrohopper: but you most likely can't see what they see on their shells [23:52] lstarnes: is there nothing like top or iftop? [23:52] <[manas]> one stupid questiu [23:52] distrohopper: htop is also a process viewer [23:53] basically to see what they are running? [23:53] <[manas]> one stupid question can i connect to samba server via browser?? [23:53] distrohopper: some shells log their history [23:53] manas to si ty mano? [23:53] ty lstarnes, I will check htop out [23:53] <[manas]> peter__, nerazumiam [23:53] lstarnes: dunno if you care: in /etc/init.d/bootlogs.sh: # uname -snrvm > /var/run/motd # don't prepend uname junk to motd, nobody cares :D [23:53] Mike_lifeguard: just remember that updates to the initscripts packages will undo that [23:54] manas i have one with same nick :)) dont u are from slovak? [23:54] lstarnes: yep, I'm filing a bug now too :) [23:54] has anyone used ext4 with jaunty ? [23:54] <[manas]> peter__, not but i got lots slovak friends [23:54] Mike_lifeguard: disabling update-motd is how you would prevent it being overwritten [23:54] Mike_lifeguard: if possible, label it as a feature request instead of a bug [23:54] manas u polish? :))) [23:54] <[manas]> peter__, not [23:55] bastidrazor: I don't think that's true - update-motd's scripts are elsewhere [23:55] manas so?

[23:55] Mike_lifeguard: if the motd isn't updated then it isn't overwritten. [23:55] <[manas]> peter__, russian [23:55] bastidrazor: and even if it was, that's still silly since having other stuff updated is nice. [23:56] manas ahah ok :))) but u not rite now in russia? [23:56] Does someone know where there's a clear description of the "1TBS" style of C and C++ code indentation?
