[00:19] canthus13 someone the other day toll me it a software issue [00:19] i stupidly enabled the restricted atheros driver, and rebooted. now no internet, and the hardware manager lists no drivers! [00:19] shawn_, thats kinda ... open-ended, because i know how things work i dont know for sure if you are sure of the question you're trying to ask,,, better to ask in ##networking [00:19] olivier83, from command line try "mplayer -ao pulse FILENAME" and/or "mplayer -ao alsa FILENAME" -- see "mplayer -ao help" for list of all audio output [00:19] so i can't even de-activate the restricted driver [00:19] crawler: What driver did you enable?

[00:22] SeaPhor and there is no way around this? X_X Im just trying to find a way past their web site restrictions and I was told a proxy server is the best way but I think they are blocking my connection to it [00:23] Jordan_U: Ok. thankyou. heres the paste link. http://paste.ubuntu.com/292700/ [00:23] Can anyone help me with a songbird issue? [00:23] snow_ru: sudo lshw | less [00:23] maybe sessions messed things up, rebooting again [00:23] shawn_, use port 80 external and whatever internal [00:23] SeaPhor what do you mean?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:23] shawn_, or 8080 [00:23] crawler: Try removing the package "madwifi-tools", if that doesn't work then "sudo apt-get remove linux-restricted-modules$( uname -r )" though the second might remove other driver you need [00:24] :o http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 [00:24] olivier83: Check alsamixer again and see if anything is muted.

[00:24] Connecting to wless fails with network manager but succeeds with wpa_supplicant manual config: Which package to bug report against? nm-applet? [00:24] crawler: np [00:24] Songbird isn't staring, what is happening? [00:25] m0r0n, are you using nvidia? [00:25] shawn_, because the school doesn't block 80 0r 8080 or else you'd have no web [00:25] do kde panel applets work in gnome? [00:25] kind of off topic but what exactly is a .vod video file? [00:25] canthus13 all are up [00:25] ZykoticK9: Yes, but I fixed that, it was working for a couple months until I installed sensors, now it's not working [00:25] SeaPhor so if I forward my port 80 or 8080 it would work? [00:25] m0r0n, sudo apt-get remove libvisual-0.4-plugins [00:25] I want to use New Wave without being stuck with a dark gray clear looks instead of the green i selected DX [00:26] olivier83: Ok. Like I said, though... I'm all out of ideas. You can get pulseaudio up and running again by rebooting. [00:26] i marked display session on login now [00:26] Dumb question but google's not helping me much... I just finished installing 9.04 32bit in VMware, installed fine, changed the resolution up hi, and now I only get a black screen. How do I get into recovery console to fix xorg.conf since grub isn't showing during boot by default? [00:26] rebooting again [00:26] olivier83: But beyond that, I dunno what would kill audio *AND* video playback. [00:26] shawn_, not just that, that would be the "External" port, need more info-- ask in ##networking [00:27] milesc: Can you switch to a different terminal? (ctrl-alt-f1) [00:27] ZykoticK9: Thanks [00:27] is there a way i can erase a windows7/vista bootloader from ubuntu [00:27] I sure can, thanks cathus13 [00:27] can anyone recommend a channel that I can go to to discuss host-reseller packages? [00:27] a_: You have two lines there referring to edgy, do you know how they got there? ( one is for wine ) [00:27] milesc: No prob. [00:27] canthus13 even if i reboot im not getting sounds again [00:27] <_Techie_> is there an alternative to usign grub on a USB install as grub wont work properly as it points to a static drive location [00:28] olivier83: Yes, but if someone else is able to help you more, it would make it easier for you to be in a normal state (pulseaudio running) [00:29] canthus13 how i do that [00:29] olivier83: reboot. [00:29] <_Techie_> how can i make a persistant USB install of ubuntu? [00:29] olivier83: Running it from the command line, in my experience anyway, never puts things back quite the way they should be. [00:29] canthus13, olivier83 try ALSA? [00:30] _Techie_: System > Administration > USB Startup Disk Creator [00:30] _Techie_: Yes. check out http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ for tutorials. [00:30] fearful yes and it all up! [00:30] fearful: Tried shutting down Pulseaudio and he seems to have gotten some noise, but nothing normal. [00:30] i ended all xfce related now and are trying to reboot [00:30] fearful: alsamixer has everything on and turned up with and without pulseaudio. [00:31] Jordan_U: I dont know. the only thing I have installed for wine is Paltalk [00:31] olivier83, out of curiosity did it work before? [00:32] Whenever I start Ubuntu, Gnome-Do never has anything listed, and I have to restart it so it'll work [00:32] a_: They shouldn't be there, remove those lines from your sources.list, this time you need to open it with a slightly different command so that you have permissions to save the changes: "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" [00:32] fearful yes it work before each time i install ubuntu it work for 4-5 boot and after that i lost sounds for no reason noby know how to regain sounds the only thing that work is format and reinstall ubuntu [00:33] Like, the box opens, but when I type anything it acts as if I have no applications or anything [00:33] still nothing! clean install now, not worth the effort [00:33] thx for your help though [00:33] how to list all the channels for java> [00:33] ?

If it's a problem with a configuration file in the home folder that should be exactly like reinstalling, logging in as another user first might break sound for the rest of the time the computer is booted. [01:00] Jordan_U alright brb [01:00] hi everybody [01:00] I have a super problem :s [01:00] that's what I see on my desktop [01:00] http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/9022/pantallazom.png [01:01] http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/298/pantallazo1e.png [01:01] those 2 pics [01:01] awesome [01:01] show my problem Is like sudo rm -r / but I didn't made that [01:01] and I rebooted my system and could login fine [01:01] Germanacho, gconf ? [01:01] System font or character encoding problem? [01:02] maybe [01:02] lemme test gconf [01:02] character encoding by the looks [01:02] beh is hard to execute gconf [01:02] Germanacho, safe mode → try changing in the settings again [01:02] if I can't see anything [01:02] [Mr_Wizard], pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf plz? [01:02] oke [01:02] Germanacho, you mean gconf is messed up or the terminal [01:03] by the way, I didn't made any configuration [01:03] I just turn on the pc and saw in that way [01:03] you telling me it's a hardware failure? [01:03] http://pastebin.com/m32bbd418 <== that's xorg.conf SeaPhor [01:04] heey all [01:04] maybe Supersaiyan_IV dunno [01:04] ty Germanacho [01:04] <[Mr_Wizard]> seaphor, how do i do that? lol if you can't tell i just switched from windows.

[01:04] any ideas for getting 3d rendering working on a radeon HD3200/RS7xx when having the fglrx kernel module causes a boot to black screen? [01:04] <[Mr_Wizard]> seaphor, i know the pastebin now, just not the other part. [01:04] module loaded* [01:04] GaSSaN[a], you hack it by not playing it, saves you time [01:05] [Mr_Wizard], ok, i'll show u the easy way ;-)\ [01:06] I don't like this weird squares [01:06] xD [01:06] Germanacho: Are you using ext4? [01:06] yes Jordan_U [01:06] [Mr_Wizard], do this in terminal- sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:07] Jordan_U new user din't have sounds [01:07] [Mr_Wizard], copy paste is best ;-) [01:07] hi [01:08] Jordan_U: why did you asked me if I were using ext4 [01:08] do you know any good proxy ? [01:08] Germanacho: First thing I would do is boot into a liveCD and make sure that you backup any files that are important to you, and don't force shutdown your computer even if it seems completely frozen [01:08] I didn't made nothing, just put a movie to download, came back and saw this squares [01:08] my network provider banned my port 80 [01:08] <[Mr_Wizard]> seaphor, http://pastebin.com/f5d21af4a [01:08] <[Mr_Wizard]> nifty [01:08] oke Jordan_U [01:08] but I rebooted the pc [01:08] once, and didn't happend nothing [01:09] just could login fine into the session but watching the squares like b4 [01:09] Germanacho: ext4 Has a bug where files can be lost if the computer looses power ( though that may not be what is happening to you, it's not common and luckily almost never affects user's data, just configuration files ) [01:10] awe nice [01:10] and how I could restore my config files ? [01:10] TY [Mr_Wizard] ,,, but that is no good for me, i'm good with Nvidia and ATi but intel .... maybe Jordan_U or another would be better to help you,,, i know it can be done, don't give up,,, its prolly fairly simple... [01:11] hi all [01:11] I get "Not all updates can be installed" when trying to update my koala, why does that happen and how do i fix it? [01:11] Germanacho: By reinstalling all of the packages whose files are zero bytes, but it could also be a bad drive or some other problem entirely so you should back up any important data now [01:12] ok Jordan_U [01:12] !karmic | ojii [01:12] doing that right now [01:12] ojii: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic is BETA and MAY break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [01:12] then I will reinstall the system [01:12] <[Mr_Wizard]> SeaPhor, probably. i've been using ubuntu for about 4 months now and i'm usually able to fix things just googling but this one i can't really find. i don't know why 1280x800 would disappear out of the blue like that. seems weird [01:12] ojii, I had excactly those symptoms and it was a dying hard drive. [01:12] or execute the restore cd of ubuntu [01:12] wildweathel: wtf? [01:12] hey, can anyone help me out? i need to get a left header, a centered header, and a right header on an openoffice document, but it only lets me do one of those at once. How do I do it? [01:12] Jordan_U new user din't have sounds === matthew is now known as Guest23329 [01:13] Germanacho: I would do an fsck and try to figure out what went wrong, if it's a bad drive you might want to get rid of it [01:13] Germanacho: Also try memtest [01:13] ok [01:13] fsck [01:13] should do ? [01:14] [Mr_Wizard], so you had it working in native res before? [01:14] Germanacho: You will need to boot into recovery mode or a liveCD to run fsck [01:14] <[Mr_Wizard]> SeaPhor, yes [01:14] ok but first I will backup anything === goose is now known as goose|ODST [01:15] thnx for the help Jordan_U :D [01:15] for recognize the problem [01:15] Germanacho: np :) [01:15] does anyone else hate fglrx a whole lot [01:15] Germanacho: I just guessed possible problems, don't count on my guesses being right :) [01:16] <[Mr_Wizard]> SeaPhor, attempted to have second desktop by plugging an HDTV into my HDMI input and failed miserably. then, while i messed with the settings 1280x800 and a bunch more resolutions just disappeared [01:16] [Mr_Wizard], dont give up, and i may yet be able to help if no one else can,,, but i have to run to store ,, brb,,, (wife) [01:16] olivier83: Do you get an error when you try the test in System > Preferences > Sound ? [01:16] <[Mr_Wizard]> SeaPhor, np, i'll be around. [01:17] Jordan_U nope === mac9416_ is now known as mac9416 [01:17] Jordan_U it just openà [01:17] is it possible to have a network-manager configured openvpn session run a script once the vpn interface is up? (running UNR if that matters) === idleone_ is now known as IdleOne [01:17] olivier83: are all of the channels at full volume and unmuted when you run "alsamixer -c 0" ? [01:18] Jordan_U all 100% [01:18] Jordan_U: if I have to reinstall my system, do you reccomend me the 9.10 beta ? [01:19] BasketCase_Eee: There may be an official way, if not you can have a script monitor the statis of network-manager through dbus [01:19] I would rather my script be a nice simple do stuff and exit [01:20] Germanacho: No, not because of anything specific but just because it's still beta [01:20] I essentially want to do some route changes based on some if logic === Guest23329 is now known as Thocrun [01:20] oke [01:20] BasketCase_Eee: You can configure static routes with network manager for certain connections. [01:20] I want to have only 1 connection [01:21] 1 vpn connection anyway [01:22] I've a question about formatting my USB stick === lippy is now known as Guest86712 [01:23] I've got a 4 gig partitioned into 2 separate 2 gig partitions. How do I format back to the original 4 gig? [01:23] Guest89202: you need to repartition it [01:23] BasketCase_Eee: Just go to System > Preferences > Networking it looks like what you want to do is available in the GUI [01:24] Can I do that via terminal, or gparted? [01:24] Guest89202: Do you have files on both? [01:24] hey, why is packages.ubuntu.com down? [01:24] Guest89202: either, just make sure you pick the right device [01:24] Jordan_U: where? [01:24] help me please~ [01:24] If I do have files, I can erase them. That's not a problem [01:25] How do I know what the right device is? [01:25] Guest89202: it will certainly erase them [01:25] wolf23, what is the issue? [01:25] and how do I change my user name? [01:25] Help please.....Autostarted Apps will not run bash script? === Guest86712 is now known as Guest75 [01:25] Guest85537, where you type here type /nick newnick [01:25] tylert: it should.. is the bash script set +x (executeable) [01:25] :O [01:25] Jordan_U: I don't see anything about running scripts in the GUI === Guest89202 is now known as n === n is now known as night1ne [01:26] coz_, thanx, i open youtube on firefox and the video cannot play :( [01:26] tylert: did you make it executable (chmod +x script), else call it with "sh /path/to/script"; also does it nothing that requires root permission [01:26] wolf23, did you install sun-java and ubuntu restricted extras? [01:26] biovore: unknown i just got into the tech field with no experiance in linux [01:26] wolf23, opne synaptic pacakge manager and then hit the Search button and type sun-java [01:27] coz_, how can i see if all are installed? [01:27] Jordan_U did u miss my msg it was all 100% [01:27] wolf23, first go to system/administration/synaptic package manger [01:27] tylert: chmod +x will make it executable.. [01:27] I believe I've formatted both partitions at one time or another. [01:27] wolf23, ` then hit the Search button and type in sun-java [01:27] guest85537: sudo fdisk -l to list your disks [01:28] coz_, yes unmark [01:28] okay. then what? [01:28] wolf23, then scroll down the list and look for sudn-java6-plugin [01:28] wolf23, click and mark for installation [01:28] do you have the name of the drive? [01:28] Hello All, I've been dual booting Windows Vista and Ubuntu for some time. But recently my Vista installation has a lot of BSODs, a tech told me it was due to Ubuntu's resizing of the partition and that Vista was accessing parts of the drive that didn't exist anymore. Is there any validity to that? [01:28] biovore: where you have file.sh do i include the <>? and if i include basic operation in that such as rdesktop and all tags i need [01:28] sda 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 [01:28] coz_, ok [01:29] wolf23, then click search again and typein ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:29] wolf23, then click that one for installation as well [01:29] wolf23, make sure it is ubuntu restricted extras and NOT kubuntu restricted extras [01:29] I was like, hmm I don't think Ubuntu causes problems like that with partitions. :\ [01:29] Gaming4JC: not unless chkdsk says the filesystem is screwed up [01:29] night1ne: see any of them that are formatted with FAT? [01:29] tylert: no <> are just indicators to put your own file in there [01:29] coz_, ok thank you i try [01:29] the FAT ones are probably your USB stick [01:29] yea, I've got them both. [01:30] wolf23, then click the Apply button... at some point a dialog will open for you to agree to the license ...just tick the box and click forward [01:30] biovore: but about the other part of that question? [01:30] sdc 1 and 2 [01:30] BasketCase_Eee: Yah chkdsk says it's fine. So I'm pretty sure the guy told me wrong just cuz he doesn't like Linux or something lol. [01:30] [Mr_Wizard], ask in channel how to reconfigure your xserver,,, its something like "sudo dpkg xorg,..... " or something,,, never had to myself but seen it [01:30] wolf23, after that you should be able to play youtube videos ...if you want to play dvds let me know [01:30] ok [01:30] tylert: what you tring to do? [01:30] try sudo fdisk /dev/sdc [01:30] Jordan_U: thanks for teaching me all this stuff. I found "xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4", do I have to restart in order for the changes to take effect? [01:30] im connectet to open wireless connection but it very loose - even the speed of download goes betweeb 20 to 230 kb/s - why isnt it stable? [01:31] BasketCase_Eee: It's probably just Vista acting stupid, it's a very unstable operating system. Ubuntu kills it any day. ;) [01:31] command (m for help) [01:31] can anyone give me a hand with samba [01:31] hulu.com videos are very jerky under 9.04 any reason why? [01:31] well im making linux based wireless thin-clients via the rdesktop app, but when people hit cancel on the server log on screen it took them back to the home machine, i want to make it so it will auto start back up [01:31] wolf23, I would just run this command if you want to play dvds later even if you dont runt this command by copy and pasting into the terminal and to do that easily just hightlight the command here and ismply middle click inside the terminal window to paste [01:31] coz_, ok let me wait until done? :) [01:31] wolf23, sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [01:31] Okay, nm. Thanks much [01:32] biovore: sorry...read my last message === starcraftman is now known as WikiNinja [01:32] 试试。。。。 [01:32] BasketCase_Eee: He also told me it could be my boot manager and that I should try System Commander over grub for a "cleaner boot".. dunno about all that either... ?? [01:32] Gaming4JC: with windows it can be just about anything. malware, ram, cpu, mobo, psu, file corruption, something else [01:33] I'm gonna try that [01:33] night1ne: sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc? [01:33] Gaming4JC: the boot loader doesn't really leave anything behind [01:33] nah. I got it. [01:33] Gaming4JC: unless you are doing disk remapping or something [01:33] tylert: probably don't want rdesktop then.. its session based. When a thin client logs out.. you want it to go back to a login screen right? [01:33] yes sir, [01:33] What's sudo mkfs.ext3...do though? [01:33] tylert, if you dont want to implement a proper solution, like LTSP, i have a lazy one :), just did that in fact the other day. [01:33] formats the drive with ext3 file system [01:33] Ahh, okay. [01:33] mkfs = make file system [01:33] BasketCase_Eee: Ok, thanks I was pretty sure the guy was way off you just reassured me. :) Viva Ubuntu! [01:34] biovore: yes sir [01:34] tylert, create a really restricted user, strip down everything, i'd suggest going with bare debian, install minimal xorg and fluxbox. [01:34] I just deleted one of the partitions and opened up gparted. [01:34] you can also do mkfs.vfat if you want to use it under windows [01:34] ext2 is sometimes preferred for solid state storage [01:34] tylert: probably want xdmcp.. but need to note that xdmcp isn't encryped, so probably want to run it over a ssh tunnel or openvpn. [01:34] Hmm, well, I plan on attempting to install a windows distro on it. [01:34] Oh, ok. [01:35] anyone ever loged into a vncserver and your keyboard just been all crazy and mixed up? [01:35] tylert, create a script with the following http://pastebin.com/m379b9681 [01:35] olivier83: Were they also all unmuted ( "OO" rather than "MM" at the bottom ) ? [01:35] usser_: wanna send me an email with this? [01:35] tylert, its not that much work, really [01:35] no, but i logged into x once with the fglrx kernel module loaded and got like 8 distorted copies of the ubuntu logo on the screen [01:35] So should I format it to fat? [01:35] 在这里必须要用英文聊天是吗？？？？ [01:35] probably [01:35] Okay. [01:36] night1ne: depends on how you plan to use it. fat is the most compatible but has significant limitations [01:36] !cn | yhge_ [01:36] yhge_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [01:36] usser_: could you send an email about this to tylert@serrc.org [01:36] [Mr_Wizard], ask in channel how to reconfigure your xserver,,, its something like "sudo dpkg xorg,..... " or something,,, never had to myself but seen it [01:36] hello, x is failing to start after installing latest nvidia drivers, running intel q9550 on nvidia 780i with geforce 9500 gt, xorg.log: http://pastebin.ca/1618463 xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ca/1618464 another (failed) xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ca/1618465 [01:36] crazy frigging key map or somerhing [01:36] tylert, sigh... sure [01:36] usser_: thanks so much :D [01:36] tylert, dont paste your email addresses like that. [01:37] tylert, you will be spammed into oblivion :) [01:37] usser_: got it [01:37] sudo dpkg xorg --reconfigure [01:37] err sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:38] i think [01:38] that tool has done a whole lot of nothing for me though [01:38] #ubuntu-cn === konsumer is now known as konbon [01:38] (: [01:38] Hello everyone [01:38] hi [01:38] BasketCase_Eee: If you create a new vpn connection then go into ipv4 settings and create a static default route then select "Use only this connection for resourses on this network" I think that will make the only route in the routing table the default route ( and any others ) you set there [01:38] okay, so what is the command for formatting via terminal? [01:38] nullzero: i tried nvidia-xconfig, didn't help much, someone else recommended sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [01:39] have yet to try that before i boot off this live cd [01:39] night1ne, what are you doing that you need fat? fat is almost pointless in most situations [01:39] *sigh* which i had lappy with me [01:39] drewbert: that fixes some problems but don't cross your fingers [01:39] Well, I'm going to attempt to install windows on the drive. [01:39] ive heard stories of stuff just magically being fixed by dpkg-reconfigure [01:39] night1ne, ntfs then [01:39] did absolutely jack for me [01:39] Jordan_U: I am not trying to set specific routes for the vpn connection. I am trying to set dynamic routes through the vpn based on the dynamic settings of the wifi interface [01:39] And I believe someone suggested fat. [01:39] whats the prob drewbert? [01:39] Jordan_U yes at the bottom 00 and below that 100 [01:40] drewbert: Just dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will have you using the open source drivers, that then System > Administration > Hardware Drivers will get you the defaults + proprietary driver [01:40] Okay. So then what would be the command to perform the operation via terminal? [01:40] Jordan_U: my script is already written (works great in Gentoo) I just don't know how to tell the system to run it after bringing up the vpn === kaie is now known as Guest50620 [01:40] can i have a tutorial on how to install ventrilo ? [01:40] night1ne: my bad, i didnt even think of ntfs [01:40] i dumb [01:40] please,who can tell me,i want to go #ubuntu.cn,how to do ??? === administrator is now known as Guest21663 [01:40] No worries.

[01:40] hi - i've gotten stuck trying to set up a file share between jaunty and xp. i'm trying to go through a belkin router using ethernet cables. can anyone help? [01:40] no prob drewbert [01:41] drewbert: You can try entering recover mode and selecting fix Xorg. Also, if it's like my predicament was, you may need to uninstall the Nvidia drivers if they aren't the right ones for your system. :\ [01:41] oh,thanks.... [01:41] Jordan_U: i'll try that next time i reboot, however the system > administration > hardware drivers also cause a problem similar to the one i'm having now where x won't start [01:41] BasketCase_Eee: http://ldn.linuxfoundation.org/article/performing-custom-actions-when-networkmanager-goes-onoffline [01:42] Can someone explain the mechanism that ubuntu uses for deciding which X11 driver to use? I have an nvidia chipset, and installed the drivers, but for some reason its still using the VESA driver. [01:42] can sum1 help me on how to install ventrilo on ubuntu? [01:42] high-rez: Try running sudo nvidia-xconfig [01:42] high-rez: did you reboot after the install? [01:42] high-rez: It's probably using VESA because nvidia failed to load, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:42] sometimes a log out wont do the job. you need the full restart of the os [01:42] what is a simple decent ide for java and c/c++ on linux? [01:43] Jordan_U: that looks like what I want. I will do some playing [01:43] werfact: Code:Blocks? [01:43] Jordan: Nothing about it failing to load in xorg.0.log - already checked.

I thought ubuntu used some smart mechanism for auto configuring xorg.conf ;) [01:44] coz_, done all, i have ubuntu restricted installed ,after done after i try open youtube and the video cannot play [01:44] high-rez: Can you pastebin your Xorg.0.log? [01:44] dont have wine installed on mines :( [01:44] Jordan_U it should be mm rather then 00!? [01:44] Gaming4JC, Jordan_U thanks [01:44] high-rez: I think it should run that on install, but *shrug* [01:44] Jordan_U: hey, sorry for the delay. i tried what you suggested for my wireless, but nothing worked. [01:44] okay, so what is the command for formatting via terminal? [01:44] olivier83: No, it should be "00" rather than "MM" [01:44] wolf23, mmm === WikiNinja is now known as starcraftman [01:44] Jordan_U ah ok it 00 [01:44] werfact: np Ubuntu is an amazing community. Enjoy. :D [01:45] Jordan_U: is there a way to force ubuntu to rescan for wireless cards? it's not detected anymore it seems [01:45] wolf23, you have all the codecs and sun java installed it should play well [01:45] crawler: Can you pastebin the output of "lsmod | grep ath" ? [01:45] wolf23, which video card are you running? [01:45] Jordan_U: No worries, nvidia-xconfig made everything happy... I guess auto detection was just broken. [01:45] Jordan_U could it be the External Amplifier [01:45] How are one to interpret this?: "password: Password string for EAP. This field can include either the plaintext password (using ASCII or hex string)" Does it mean that password="1" (ASCII) is the exact equivalent of password="31" (hex)?

[02:57] My motherboard supports Hybrid SLI so I'm hoping this means the onboard is being used as well. [02:57] this might sound like a joke, but as more people use linux, more people need stupid software to do configurations for them, most people simply dont want to waste time configuring stuff, this might be good [02:57] Xcell: Any thoughs?

[03:20] nullzero the thing is, there is no eth0 device [03:21] verzel, i had the same problem. it came up after i tried to make the IP of eth0 static. It worked but when I rebooted into headless mode through NX it said there were not network connections available. yet i was logged in over the network. What I did to fix it was delete all info in resolv and rc and interfaces files and then enter in my static IP info in the network manager app. rebooted a few times and all is good. [03:21] BuddhistpineappL: I am not going to sit here and argue about it. I do not think anyone in here can help you to figure it out [03:21] seems like ubuntu's network manager gets confused if you use the GUI interface and also edit the files by hand. Unsure which takes presedence but some wires got crossed. [03:21] wergeld the thing is that there is no desktop interface on my machine, and there is no eth0 [03:22] ifconfig [03:22] ok ill swing by networking then come back [03:22] whoops wrong screen [03:22] ##networking* [03:23] I can't write anything on my SD-card still. please help me http://paste.ubuntu.com/292796/ [03:23] nullzero: I also read there were problems with the access mode on some of the mobilities - turning sideport off in the bios helped (using only shared memmory) [03:23] mrmowgli: will try tomorrow. fglrx'd out for the time being [03:23] verzel: I recently setup ubuntu server, and had no ethX.

I am unable to mount it or remove the swap flag from the partiton using fstab or pysdm tools [03:25] wergeld: swapoff /dev/sdb [03:25] Jihui_Choi, unmount the sd card and run fsck on it [03:25] or whatever your deive is [03:25] wergeld: lol, wow....and I thought I had seen everything [03:25] carpediem my interfaces file doesn't even mention eth0 [03:25] whats a minimal music player someone suggests for ubuntu? something like winamp [03:25] wolf23: is xserver-xorg-video-sis installed? [03:26] joebodo: thank you, I just found a page which has the same answer. :) [03:26] Madcamper: audacious is similar to winamp, you can reskin it [03:26] ok [03:26] carpediem, yea its a fun one [03:26] nullzero, i dont know, how could i know? [03:26] Madcamper: vlc player is great too [03:26] thx [03:26] Madcamper: Banshee music player [03:26] Can anybody think of why the usplash would only go part of the way, and then revert to text on "Reading files needed to boot"? [03:26] but I can't unmount [03:26] does anyone know of a program that translates speak to text? [03:26] wolf23: try sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-sis [03:26] it should be already installed, in which case you might need to just configure X [03:26] Flash Question - I have installed flash form adobe and restarted firefox, no when i go to this site - http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ - i get a "play button" but once i click on that play button it works... How do i make it so that flash auto loads and auto plays when I visit a site? [03:26] baltadt: what like the opposite to ORCA? [03:27] verzel: don't know that you need to do this, but worth a try. Try adding to the interfaces file "auto eth0" then another line "iface eth0 inet dhcp" then run /etc/init.d/networking restart [03:27] first noticed the issue when none of my 3 drives other than my OS drive were being mounted at boot time. seems sketchy to me. all the drives had been mounted under opensuse 10.3 using ext3 and NOT set as a swap. [03:27] baltadt, http://linux-sound.org/speech.html [03:27] * mrmowgli secretly hates computers [03:28] kinda [03:28] Jihui_Choi, why can't you unmount ? [03:28] GodfatherofEire1, is this on 9.10 ? [03:28] jaimiewan: I want to use it to write school papers [03:28] alteregoa: thanks for your help - i assigned an ip address to eth0 and then reset samba and it connects fine now [03:29] name patrick [03:29] I don't know. anyway I unmount now. [03:29] Baltadt http://www.freeos.com/articles/2613/ [03:29] carpediem it worked!!! [03:29] thanks! [03:29] verzel: cool [03:29] hi :X [03:29] thanks i will check it out [03:30] Anybody know of a speech recognition program in linux? [03:31] GodfatherofEire1: http://www.freeos.com/articles/2613/ [03:31] joebodo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/292799/ [03:31] step 1: installing ubuntu-desktop :D [03:31] is god a man or a woman?

[03:33] or are you being silly? [03:33] speech regconesis not synthision [03:33] verzel: being mad [03:33] verzel: if liquer is a new ati driver, I don't want it [03:33] lol [03:33] i left a note on the table to disable sideport [03:34] so ill try it again whenever my hangover goes away but im not crossing my fingers [03:34] I just want ANY ubuntu installer to work on this freakin laptop [03:34] im gonna cross my fingers and hope ati/radeon supports R7xx in the near future [03:34] mrmowgli? [03:34] GodfatherofEire1: try googling VoxForge [03:34] alteregoa: yep? [03:34] whats wrong with your installation? [03:35] nullzero: may the gods of ATI smile upon you [03:35] what about Transciber? good or bad? [03:35] is there a way to see if i registered any nicks with a given email? [03:35] alteregoa: well that's easy they all hang on the graphical installer because I have one of the coolest ATI mobility chips EVER [03:35] mrmowgli: they won't. and i've had this particular problem with 4 different distros so i'm fairly certain it's ATI [03:35] where would I put a file I want to be available over my lan? I have a "Public" directory, but the capital P doesn't look right, and I can't access the directory over the lan? [03:35] Flash Question - I have installed flash form adobe and restarted firefox, no when i go to this site - http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ - i get a "play button" but once i click on that play button it works... How do i make it so that flash auto loads and auto plays when I visit a site? [03:35] someone can help me ? :x [03:35] nullzero: I'm only on my third distro :( [03:35] werfact: join #freenode and ask there [03:36] mandriva tried to use fglrx from the livecd, wouldn't even boot from that [03:36] mrmowglI: yeah i had to use native drivers here [03:36] mrmowgli: which chip exactly/pci id? [03:36] lspci [03:36] I eventually got Fedora on this sucker [03:36] this so wierd....sda1 is NOT listed as a swap partition in fstab but pysdm sees as swap and i cannot write to it at all through Samba [03:36] beh fuck bubuntu, viva gentoo [03:37] vox, ty === list is now known as m0 [03:37] bell invented it, thats why [03:37] ATI Radeon Mobility 200m [03:37] i think i got the same crap chip here [03:37] Lovely Hp Pavilion zv6000 [03:38] wait, i tell you what sucker i use [03:38] is the 200m even supported? [03:38] nullzero: heh, no. [03:38] Got a quick question.. [03:39] i figured, ati calls it 'legacy' [03:39] That's what I love about laptops [03:39] but the open source driver should work just fine [03:39] I can't even get through an ubuntu install [03:39] Even in text only mode [03:39] x-server-.org video ati [03:39] I was able to copy the windows files over to the USB stick, but when I tried rebooting and all that, it said 'Boot Manager is missing'. === P1ro is now known as Guest4024 [03:40] Is there any way to fix this? [03:40] I'd put gentoo on it but it would be evil (someone elses laptop) [03:40] think ill just cut off the hd3200 and solder on an nvidia lol [03:40] and it works [03:40] what i use also alteregoa === Guest4024 is now known as P1ro [03:40] but since i have a newer chipset i have no 3d accel without fglrx [03:40] gives me good framerate for 2d [03:40] nullzero: if you get good at soldering, well then I have some work for you ;) [03:40] Germanaz0: seems like a compiz issue to me [03:41] rd1381 [03:41] mrmowgli: oh, i can solder...just not that delicately, plus i doubt it would work [03:41] strange 3d accel works, but whatever [03:41] alteregoa: what chip id? [03:41] alteregoa: I don't think it's going to help until I actually have an install work [03:41] i got no clue [03:41] rs5xx and below have 3d with ati [03:41] lspci -nn? [03:41] Germanaz0: disable the desktop effects and try again [03:42] yo, my AR242x restart everytime im playing quakelive im using lastest madwifi and taht happend too much, im using ubuntu right now on a usb flash o_O [03:42] if its an r5xx or below, the xserver-xorg-video-ati will give you 3d [03:42] and you are a lucky bastard [03:43] its 1002:5653 [03:43] inmy ubuntu error console it always shows this error: file:///usr/lib/xrunner-1.9.0.14/components/nsUrlClassifiedLib.js does anyone know what this means? [03:43] you're fully supported alteregoa [03:43] that's x300 series i think [03:44] i t said x200 but nothing more [03:44] on the sticker at least [03:44] yeah, the middle-age chips have 3d support without needing fglrx [03:45] kinda strange for me to be wishing i had an older gpu in this laptop [03:45] also says key is null...right above that big long sequence? [03:46] jamie oliver has nice chickens [03:46] alteregoa: I bet he does. However, this channel is solely for Ubuntu support. [03:46] yeah i agree [03:47] alteregoa: and he's a wanker [03:47] has the boot option "noapic" changed to something else? karmic beta doesn't seem to like it. [03:47] thats why i like the channel [03:47] MenZa: Chickens is a new ati driver [03:47] language please, children. [03:47] jamie: so he is related to al bundy? [03:47] mrmowgli: That has to be the weirdest name for a piece of software, ever. >_< [03:48] guys, either keep your talk to ubuntu support related topics, or move to #ubuntu-offtopic [03:48] <_schism_> evening all [03:48] hi [03:49] allo === mike is now known as inurneck === mac9416_ is now known as mac9416 [03:51] Can I list the directory a file is in with ls command? [03:51] I want to list not just the file, but the directory the file is in [03:51] netbook: no, use locate [03:51] ok [03:51] slocate? [03:51] netbook: you might need to "sudo updatedb" [03:52] netbook: no, just locate [03:52] Hmm. So is there a windows room? [03:52] I'm kind of in the middle here. [03:52] ##windows [03:52] I don't know if it's possible to install a boot manager onto a USB stick. [03:52] night1ne: you mean just the boot manager or an entire live cd? [03:52] And the reason why I'm in here is, of course, because I run eeebuntu [03:53] How do i find out my manufacturer of my motherboard? [03:53] I've got the Windows 7iso files onto the USB, but it says no Boot Manager. [03:53] Will terminal be able to tell me? [03:53] cody_: sudo lshw will tell you los [03:53] *lots [03:53] I'm a web developer that is trying to get some help on switching completely from windows (ie from photoshop), is there a room for that? [03:53] vox i am trying to search through a pidgin log for messages sent to me today, eg 2009-10-13.* [03:53] vox locate didn't turn up anything [03:53] scunizi: Thank you very much, i will try it [03:54] vox I can do ls and i know there is the file, i just don't know what directory [03:54] netbook: #gimp [03:54] night1ne: so what exactly are you attempting? [03:54] night1ne: did you just copy the .iso file to a usb stick? that doesn't really work [03:54] Cryano_De what about gimp? [03:54] To install the windows 7 through a usb stick [03:54] netbook: Sorry, should have directed that @ jeremey1 [03:54] I didn't think so, either. but a friend of mine thinks it should work [03:54] Good day. I just wanted to pop in, to thank those of you who have spent time creating, promoting and furthering both Linux and Ubuntu. As a longtime windows user, and now new Ubuntu user, both on my netbook and more powerful computer at home, I want you to know that the work you do has incredible value, and frees our hardware to perform without DRM and licence crippling. [03:55] night1ne: there's a utility called winsetupfromusb, that ive used to install XP from a usb stick, i don't know if it supports win7 yet though [03:55] !god [03:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about god [03:55] Thanks so much for making my computer a pleasure to work with again. [03:55] Cyrano_D cool, duh... thx [03:55] Okay. Linux version? [03:55] alteregoa: Please help keep this channel ontopic, thanks. [03:55] Anyone know abou this? I can do ls -R|grep and i know there is the file, i just don't know what directory [03:55] scunizi: Are you able to tell me the model? I know the manufacturer: http://pastebin.ca/1618603 [03:55] netbook: Try find . | grep [03:56] gentlemen and/or ladies, what's the default volume control application in jaunty? [03:56] netbook: That will give you absolute paths. [03:56] night1ne: no idea. that utility is a win app [03:56] bloody hell. Which means I need windows. [03:56] netbook: so let me see if I have this right.. you open a terminal and do an ls for a directory listing and the file you're looking for is there.. but you want to know what directory it's in as well. Is this an excersize in how to use ls or are you really interested in which directory? [03:56] Okay. [03:56] addendum: jaunty/kde [03:56] night1ne: What are you attempting to do? [03:56] Sorry for the language. [03:56] scunizi i am really interested in what directory, it isn't a directory listing it is a file [03:56] night1ne: there could be something that runs on linux, i've never really looked into it [03:56] hey guys, i have an ati and my driver support for two monitors suck, does anybody know if that changes with ubuntu 9.10? [03:57] night1ne: I'm fairly sure you need a DVD drive to install that. [03:57] dave1231: Try #ubuntu+1 [03:57] What would I use as a search on google? [03:57] found it, thanks all... i guess grep saves the day [03:57] Menza: whats ubuntu+1? [03:57] what chat clients do work with ubuntu for msn yahoo icq gtalk jabber ? [03:57] night1ne: For the record, this is waaay offtopic for this channel. Try 'windows 7 install from usb' or something similar. [03:57] chalcedony: Pidgin is installed by default. [03:57] cody_: sorry cody_ .. no way to tell by that info.. you might have to open the case and look if it's there. [03:57] dave1231: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for 9.10 support. [03:57] dave1231: the next release of ubuntu, basically [03:58] okay. thank you much [03:58] Does anyone have an installer that works on a HP Pavilion Zv6000 ? Preferably linux? [03:58] I'm out of cd's :/ [03:58] how do I change rooms? [03:58] mrmowgli: What installer? [03:58] MenZa, didn't yahoo quit supporting pidgin ? [03:58] night1ne: /join #channelname [03:58] MenZa: whatcha got? [03:58] !yahoo | chalcedony [03:58] chalcedony: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com (port 5050) and see if that helps. [03:58] night1ne: /join #channel-name [03:58] scunizi: Okay, ill open it, where would i find the motherboard? I am very bad at whats what in it [03:58] Kubuntu: fail [03:58] mrmowgli: What installer? For what? [03:58] Ubuntu: fail [03:58] I enabled the apache module rewrite, but it isnt working yet, what else can I do? [03:59] Menza thx [03:59] Ububtu light net install: fail [03:59] mrmowgli: how are the failing? [03:59] do this nightline..../join and hit enter [03:59] mrmowgli: This channel is solely for Ubuntu support. For any other queries, please find a different channel. [03:59] ok, here's a bit of background: I'm trying to help my girlfriend (she's about 250 miles away) set up skype on jaunty, but I can't hear her. She's using the onboard audio on an asus M2N-X motherboard. Are there any known issues with that board, or are we missing something obvious? [03:59] MenZa: he's just complaining [03:59] MenZa, umm how do i do that? [04:00] MenZa: is there another channel to get Ubuntu installers to work? [04:00] chalcedony: Good question. Check your Yahoo settings. [04:00] !skype | InitHello [04:00] InitHello: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [04:00] I though I did.. [04:00] mrmowgli: This is the channel you'd want. You'll just need to be a bit more verbose than that. Saying "It fails" won't help us get anywhere. === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [04:00] vigo: it's installed, I just can't hear her. [04:00] MenZa, umm where? (i don't know much about it) [04:00] how i can use joy2key? [04:00] IdleOne: they end up hanging because of the ati video card [04:00] chalcedony: Neither do I. I don't use Pidgin. [04:00] how do I find out which package provides ncurses.h? [04:00] im searching for some howto [04:01] !find ncurses.h | naknomik1 [04:01] naknomik1: Found: ncurses-hexedit [04:01] MenZa, i was using it until i got a new computer, but it wasn't complicated [04:01] InitHello: Okay, see that link ubottu brought up? That may have the solution for your end. [04:01] vigo: ok, sorry, there's some useful info there [04:01] vigo: we'll try that [04:01] InitHello: Okee dokee [04:02] !find libncurses.so [04:02] File libncurses.so found in lib32ncurses5, lib32ncurses5-dev, libncurses-gst, libncurses5, libncurses5-dbg (and 2 others) [04:02] vigo: I've had a few glasses of wine, so I reacted at the "to install skype" part ;) [04:03] InitHello: Is all good, that ubottu link most likely has the solution for both ends. [04:03] vigo: yeah, it's more than likely she has the wrong audio daemon thingie selected for her mic [04:04] okydoke, currently the ubuntu light netinstall (cli fb=false) occasionally gets past the hardware detection and hangs downloading the software repo information for us.archive.ubuntu.org [04:04] anyone know if there is a way to run ubuntu, and windows xp simultaneously off the same computer without making it virtual? Display XP on one monitor, and ubuntu on an external? [04:04] InitHello: I do not use Skype, but that sounds like it could be an error, or some mismatch setting on both ends that needs attention, is all in the documentation. [04:05] other times it hangs on the hardware detection, and the graphical installer doesn't work. Once it hung on the advanced command line installer after I configured the keyboard [04:05] vigo: darn these 500 different audio systems, all because alsa and esd and whatever else developers refuse to cooperate! [04:06] InitHello: have her try the test call with the skype bot. if that works then she is good to go and you know it is on your end. if the test call fails well then you trouble shoot [04:06] InitHello: I will say again, I do not use Skype, I have my reasons, and they are all mine, MINE! :-) [04:06] IdleOne: yeah, her skype worked from a windows box, but not from her jaunty box [04:06] Okay, I've got a website, but I don't know how it is supposed to be done because everything there is for the command prompt. Could someone maybe help me out? [04:06] Madcamper: essentially, no it can't be done [04:07] vigo: that is of course your prerogative [04:07] bah [04:07] InitHello: Exactly, and that is what Freedom is about. [04:07] InitHello: the skype website has some sound work arounds but I would read the link ubottu sent you first and see === xod is now known as onats [04:08] http://www.thinkcomputers.org/index.php?x=articles&id=117 [04:08] vigo: why, I could (if I was a fool) even say that I like debian, and nobody is allowed to shoot me, because freedom! [04:08] InitHello: I had an issue with sound when not using a headset. getting a headset fixed the problem right away [04:09] good point. === toby_ is now known as tobyn [04:09] is it imperative for me to reboot after editing the ".bashrc" file?? [04:09] ynk: no [04:09] a categoric imperative? [04:10] ynk: run source .bashrc [04:10] ynk: open a new terminal and changes should take effect [04:10] alteregoa: I have a couple of categoric imperatives I could say to you. I suggest we ignore each other and save ourselves the head ache [04:11] Hi [04:11] Im trying to install vista for my gf's netbook [04:11] ##windows Scutum [04:12] Hi [04:12] Is there a way to NOT install gnome? [04:12] so I was thinking on installing a small linux OS [04:12] hello all [04:12] like use the alternative cd [04:12] and then vista [04:12] Scutum: in that case first windows then linux [04:12] relapse: you dont want a graphical interface? [04:12] no [04:12] because it wont recognize it on the external hd [04:12] relapse: use a version of ubuntu other than the ubuntu desktop cd (the kubuntu and xubuntu desktop cds are examples) [04:12] i just want x and fluxbox [04:13] IdleOne, Im not able to install windows [04:13] relapse: you can use the alternate cd for that [04:13] !minimal | relapse [04:13] relapse: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [04:13] Scutum: again see ##windows for windows help [04:13] from the external disk, it wont recognize it [04:13] Scutum: something about windoze wiping the boot loader when u install over linux === crunchbang is now known as Guest18736 [04:13] scrotum: yeah i did that like that [04:13] So is it possible to install windows on a linux machine? === adam__ is now known as Synaps [04:14] alteregoa, go fuck yourself [04:14] o.O [04:14] !oh [04:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about oh [04:14] Scutum: watch the language please [04:14] !ohmy [04:14] Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [04:14] Such language in ubuntu even.. [04:14] What was that about a lowport thing from DCC? [04:15] any body can help me with acpi on my laptop? [04:15] !ask [04:15] well remmid that to alteregoa first then [04:15] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:15] fstock: ? [04:15] Scutum: windoze first then linux or it wont work, so ive been told [04:15] I see [04:15] !ask | Guest18736 [04:15] Guest18736: please see above [04:15] where would I put a file I want to be available over my lan? I have a "Public" directory, but the capital P doesn't look right, and I can't access the directory over the lan? [04:15] alteregoa: if you dont have anything useful or constructive to add, leave. [04:15] i'm having a problem booting hardisks with 48bit LBA because my bios doesn't support it, are there tricks? [04:16] Scutum: jamiewan is correct.. however you can do it the other way ..it's just a major pain to reinstall grub if you've never done it. [04:16] worse when you have multiple drives [04:16] I am planning on deleting linux afterwards [04:16] wow, seems this channel is pretty busy, never been here. [04:16] Will Skyway Internet work with ubuntu? My family is switching over to that soon. [04:16] is not for me.. is for my gf [04:16] Guest18736: welcome [04:16] Scutum: so why install it at all? [04:16] not rilly as long as you can get to grub you can edit menu.lst [04:17] use Slax cd [04:17] because otherwise it wont recognize it as an OS when I try booting [04:17] Guest18736: actually, a little slow now. Is that your zipcode in your nick? [04:17] scutum: windows installation writes over the bootloader, and you would have to reinstall GRUB. so its easier to install windows first and then ubuntu. [04:17] cabaro_, Im planning on deleting linux afterwards [04:17] no, i am testing the crunchbang distro and this is the one by default [04:18] Lets say... I were to upgrade my BIOS to a whole new card (So i can use a dedicated graphics card and the like) Would i have to reinstall ubuntu? [04:18] Guest18736: /nick to change your nick [04:18] well, by the way, i am not a chatting type, i don't use it that much [04:18] ok [04:18] cody_: No [04:18] scutum: then you might like wubi install. install windows first then wubi, also easy to remove.

Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [04:19] cabaro_, u mean wubi first? [04:19] by the way, is there a better way of checking out the battery on an ubuntu laptop? [04:20] scunizi: Okay Thanks. Also to Jordan_U [04:20] cabaro_, you are not understanding, I need to install windows in a netbook, so trough USB, the dumb netbook wont recognized the external HD as an OS === Guest18736 is now known as andre [04:20] but if I plug it into my laptop it does [04:20] scutum, no windows first, wubi does not need its own partition, it creates an image file inside windows partition and adds boot up choises. easy to remove also and no need to reinstall the boosector after removal. [04:20] Scutum: you are having a problem installing windows correct, install linux, then install windows ( since you plan on deleting linux anyway ) no worries about grub getting over written and then you can use whatever windows uses to delete/format the linux partition [04:20] what's with these scums with the dcc send attempts [04:20] Scutum: that's a restriction of the laptop itself [04:21] deww they want to send their love. [04:21] hi everyone, can someone please confirm whether karmic beta works as good as it says here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-5/Karmic [04:21] deww: Just ignore them [04:21] must be the ubuntu love :P [04:21] basix, wrong channel... [04:21] basix: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic questions, thanks [04:21] yes, my advice dont mess with ACER, they are terrible [04:21] IdleOne, yes [04:21] Flannel, thanks [04:21] scutum: whats the problem with windows installation? [04:22] never installed that ever... [04:22] it doesnt recognize it when I try booting from the external HD [04:22] if my wireless keyboard and mouse were partially failing, what log could i find info under, and/or how could i coax some info to be logged? [04:22] scutum: private chat, if you need help with that.. [04:22] I've got a netbook that started as eeebuntu, then I just did a distro upgrade to Jaunty Jacalope. I'm seeing a couple of strange things now. [04:22] adding "export PATH=${PATH}:/blahblahblah" is the right way to add environmental paths, right? i'm confused... well, i mean adding that line to ".bashrc" [04:22] so, I should use Unetbootin? [04:22] I'm wondering if I don't have a mutant hybrid of the two. [04:22] nite [04:22] cabaro_, thanks [04:23] Flannel, do u know if there is a separate channel for Mactel Ubuntu ?? [04:23] and a small version of linux such as Xubuntu? [04:23] Xubuntu is the smallest right? [04:23] scutum: i'm going to work, but ill be available later on today [04:23] ok [04:23] basix: #ubuntu-mactel has three people in it! :) [04:23] heck no [04:23] who else use crunchbang? [04:23] andre: Wrong channel [04:23] LOAF is the smallest linux I know of [04:24] anyone here use wubi? [04:24] Scutum: smallest ubuntu release.. DSL is much smaller.. never heard of LOAF [04:24] andre: off topic, but i do use it as well [04:24] LOAF Linux on a Floppy [04:24] ah [04:24] what is the smallest ubuntu I can use? [04:24] xubuntu [04:24] yeah, but I trust Ubuntu [04:24] I see [04:24] yeah Xubuntu is the answer I believe [04:24] or server whith no gui [04:24] hey, they are almost the same , all these distros and ubuntu, if you do some reconfig [04:24] On a standard Jaunty Jacalope install, does Ubuntu show boot messages as text (before X), or does it display a graphical loading screen. [04:24] anyone heard of Wubi? [04:25] andre i want to try crunchbang on an old laptop === hendaus is now known as wolf23 [04:25] Scutum: It is the same thing. It's just full of packages put together to form what it is. [04:25] Scutum - crunchbang is based on ubuntu [04:25] i have a gnome panel set to auto-hide, but the animation when it hides is very slow and choppy. can i change this so there is no animated behavior...its either hidden or it just appears? [04:25] Scutum: nothing wrong with Xubuntu, been using it for nearly a year. [04:25] it's great for old ones [04:25] ive read that [04:25] haha [04:25] anyone here who tried booting 48 bit LBA disks with Linux even if the BIOS doesn't support it? [04:25] I really like this chat btw [04:25] http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/git-core broken link [04:25] if someone is familiar with http://wubi-installer.org please explain exactly what it is. [04:25] eradicus, you might need an overlay? [04:25] I loved mu Xubuntu on my eeepc until it got stolen..

Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [04:26] ~MY [04:26] Madcamper: It allows you to install Ubuntu inside of Windows, and dual boot without partitioning [04:26] Satzo, thanks can you point me to the right direction? [04:26] does anybody know about keyboard/mouse logging? i suspect kernel modules [04:26] the only problem with old laptop may be the batteries, hardwares are ususally well supported [04:26] can ubuntu mount windows software raid volumes? [04:26] ok, but since i installed Ubuntu on my 2nd hard drive, and xp is on my first, would it be any different? [04:26] eradicus i havent used overlays in over 10 years sorry [04:26] for booting up wise [04:26] google for dynamic drive overlays and cross fingers [04:27] Madcamper i dont think it would matter [04:27] wubi uses grub doesnt it? [04:27] what's the name of the program that's a gui to edit tons of little gnome options? [04:27] so my answer is Unetbootin with xubuntu right? [04:27] Satzo, grub2 doesn't handle it? [04:27] panfist: gconf-editor? [04:27] Madcamper: different in what way? [04:27] panfist: ubuntu tweek [04:27] You gotta be kidding me. The emachines support (Who MADE my computer) couls not help me [04:27] ok, thats what i was looking for. Thought it ran like, i could logout of windows xp, then login to ubuntu without restarting [04:27] eradicus not certain.. not much experience with wubi [04:28] Madcamper: Booting, it's slightly different. You boot to GRUB, and then can choose windows or Ubuntu. With wubi, you use the windows bootloader, and then can choose to boot to windows or Ubuntu [04:28] cody_: help with? [04:28] IdleOne: Upgrading my BIOS. [04:28] Can I update the bios using wine? [04:28] ok so essentially same concept [04:28] Bof: not saying you _can't_ but it seems like a potentially horrible idea [04:28] Satzo, alright thanks though [04:29] Madcamper: Right, except you actually have a dedicated partition for Ubuntu (and for Windows) that are independant of each other. With Wubi, Ubuntu sits inside the Windows partition (as a few files) [04:29] cody_, do you need to do that? [04:29] is there any possible way to arrange it the way i suggested? going start > logout > choose ubuntu OS, or vice versa back to XP? [04:29] Bof: i would REALLY advise against it [04:29] cody_: ahhh well, sorry can't help you either [04:29] without restarting? [04:29] Madcamper: no [04:29] ive never had to upgrade bios on emachines [04:29] ok didnt think so [04:29] thx.. so I have to boot on a cd ?? [04:29] Madcamper: maybe you're really looking at running the os in a virtual machine.. check out virtualbox for windows or linux [04:29] or usb Bof [04:30] nah was trying to get aroudn vboxing it [04:30] Madcamper: WUBI is an .exe or like an .exe inside the Windows system, it is placed in the Add/Remove stuff just like any Windows Program, but it is Ubuntu once it is started. [04:30] * Satzo loves virtualbox. [04:30] Madcamper: That will be possible soon, with the new GRUB coming out. [04:30] ok.. If I burn everything on a cd and boot on it... it should work? [04:30] really flannel? [04:30] Bof yep [04:30] Satzo: I want to be able to boot off a flash drive, and most likely a BIOS upgrade would let me. And IdleOne It's okay haha [04:30] Bof, is your bios update app a dos app? [04:30] have a website i could look at for it? [04:30] Madcamper: Yeah. Well, at least, on the Ubuntu side. I imagine someone will hack something to do it on the windows side too. [04:30] like info [04:30] some motherboards can update within bios itself [04:31] Madcamper: It'll be possible with GRUB2 [04:31] ok [04:31] Satzo: I don't know [04:31] thx [04:31] cody_, : unless your bios changelog says so i wouldnt bother [04:31] Bof, what make/model of mobo you have? [04:31] i'm having some issues with my wireless card... the driver is ralink, and they provide linux drivers. but the ones that come with ubuntu don't seem to work properly, and i can't seem to build the ones they provide online... [04:31] Satzo: Toshiba Satellite pro U300 [04:32] Satzo: I cant even FIND my BIOS changelog since all i know is the Manufacturer, not model. [04:32] can i put ubuntu in an 2002 dell and also install winxpsp3 and have it turn on to a screen that gives me the option of either one? [04:32] sum times you can do it from a floppy boot. [04:32] cody_, i recall eMachine used mobos from other makers. [04:33] Balsaq: Yes [04:33] Bof, can u source the bios info on toshiba website [04:33] it should have detailed info re: bios [04:33] Balsaq: dual booting does that by default (the screen just is hidden by default, and if you don't touch anything, it boots after a few seconds) [04:33] Satzo: Well, lshw reports Dublin. haha [04:33] dublin.... no idea. [04:33] except a nice place to drink guinness... [04:33] Satzo: Note: This is a Emachines T4200 Desktop [04:34] Satzo: I'm not sure of what you mean but I downloaded an update on toshiba's web site? [04:34] what if the computer is blank with no OS on it when istart to attempt to put 2 of them in? [04:34] is there a way to run window setup without booting? [04:34] cody_, http://www.nongnu.org/dmidecode/ [04:35] *tear**tear* For $200 i could get a replacement case, Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Dual Core CPU w/ Fan. and 2GB Ram hehe [04:35] that should tell you what mobo you have [04:35] Satzo: Ill look at it [04:35] Bof, ok so the website had directions on how to update? [04:35] !qemu [04:35] qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [04:35] Satzo: It said nothing...!! [04:35] Satzo: It Ubuntu 9.04 based off Lenny, or squeeze Debina? [04:36] somebody here have qjoypad working? [04:36] cody_, hell if i know :P [04:36] Bof, in my experience you need to boot in dos, windows or the bios itself will have an update function [04:36] is there a way to run window setup without booting? [04:36] Satzo: XD Ill try Lenny ;) [04:36] LinuX2half, in a vm [04:37] cody_, the ubuntu team takes a big dump of whatever is in the debian-unstable tree i believe... [04:37] debian-experimental? [04:37] thats the only way? [04:37] Satzo: Thx.. I'll look to that, but a last thing if you can [04:37] if i get a virus in windows and its a dual boot computer, will that mess up the ubuntu? [04:37] Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to make the ubnuntu splash screen actually tell me when it's going to do a fsck? [04:37] Lingerance, well considering it is an OS setup routine.. i dont know of a better way offhand.. [04:37] Balsaq, doubtful [04:37] Satzo: In fact I want to update cause I have trouble to use toshiba utilities, you think it could help to update bios? [04:37] agreed [04:38] its pretty rare balsaq [04:38] Satzo: Holy holy! Lots of info (it was already installed haha) but it says BIOS is UPGRADEABLE [04:38] Bof, read the changelog of the bios update for that [04:38] Satzo: if it is an MBR viruis, it could. [04:38] n2diy, agreed [04:38] jumpkick_: You could turn off the splash screen. [04:39] leaf-sheep: can I just uninstall it or is there some funky deps [04:39] Satzo: Thank you..it's gonna help [04:39] I need help making my audio work... [04:39] Satzo: Think you could find it? http://pastebin.ca/1618646 I dont see it [04:40] satzo end_of_eva-linux thank you [04:40] hi [04:40] Can someone help with Audio, I'm using Jaunty [04:40] does qemu works in jaunty as well? [04:40] how can i use the alternative cd to install just x and fluxbox [04:40] i tried the minimal cd [04:40] but its giving me deb package errors [04:40] LinuX2half, far as i know [04:41] On a Macbook Pro [04:41] jumpkick_: You could uninstall it or just eliminate "splash" in the /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:41] hi, im having troubles seting up jack for a student radio broadcast. .... anoymust: i might [04:41] kzetts, you should do the server install. then install x and flux yourself... [04:41] satzo, no...? [04:41] server install? [04:41] anonymust [04:41] kzetts, yes. as in ubuntu-server. comes w/o X. [04:41] wouldnt that be more "hardened" and limit me? [04:41] Yes, I've uninstalled ALSA and reinstalled [04:41] LinuX2half, do u mean can qemu emulate jaunty?? [04:41] tomdavidson, it just won't work [04:42] satzo, no, I thought I could run windows.... [04:42] kzetts: Use the alternate CD to install a command line system (one of the F menus has this as an option, F4 or F5) [04:42] Anonymust, do u get sound from a live cd boot? [04:42] Satzo: How great. Not even pheonix (BIOS manufacturer, not motherboard manufacturer) can give my updates. -_- [04:42] cody_, im not surprised [04:42] Satzo, yes, I hadn't thought about it, but I did. [04:42] LinuX2half, yer best off running an app like vbox [04:43] satzo, why? [04:43] Flannel: and then just install Xorg and fluxbox? [04:43] Anonymust, does sound work in another userspace? [04:43] LinuX2half, so you can do what you wanted to do?? [04:43] ever since that spammer came aound my computer is slow [04:43] Satzo, I don't know. [04:43] Anonymust, give it a try [04:43] brb [04:43] Satzo: Yea. Dublin modified it -_- so now i need to find THEIR changelog [04:43] satzo, I'm lost at using the VBox...! [04:43] hey guys i have a pci express card on my otherboard,can i put in a 1 gb gddr3 graphiscs card? does the gdd1 and 2 and all thos abbreviations really matter? [04:43] LinuX2half, google install virtualbox ubuntu 9.04 [04:44] lotsa howtos [04:44] salut [04:44] bonjour [04:44] on parle tu francais ici ??? [04:44] !fr | Ninja67 [04:44] Ninja67: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [04:44] tres mal [04:44] je non parle francais [04:44] Satzo: To upgrade it, i will need windows :( I lost the original install CD. But well.... lets hope it works anyway [04:45] Satzo, no sound in guest account [04:45] cody_, you can try a PE version of windows [04:45] Satzo: PE? [04:45] Anonymust, ok [04:45] hey guys i have a pci express card on my otherboard,can i put in a 1 gb gddr3 graphiscs card? does the gdd1 and 2 and all thos abbreviations really matter? [04:45] portable edition of windows cody_ [04:45] I build a test web server with Ubuntu. Remotely I sftp to it. I was thinking of running webdav. I would have to run it on the vhost /var/www so that I could access all of my accounts. But this is not a production server so I am curious... Any reason (security) I shouldn't do this? [04:45] Satzo: Where do i find it? [04:46] cody_, do you 1. own windows and 2. have a spare hard disc? [04:46] if you do, then install windows to update [04:46] satzo, which use more RAM vmware or Vbox? [04:46] its alot easier than explaining how to make a PE windows cd [04:46] Satzo: 1 Yes. It came with Windows XP. 2: No i do not own a spare Hard Drive (unless a Flash Drive counts :p) [04:46] LinuX2half, no idea.. ive never used vmware as a virtualization [04:47] cody_, well if u want to update bios bad enough, image your ubuntu(or save /home) and drop windows on it [04:47] then put ubuntu back on [04:47] Satzo, idk if you read this, but I said that I have uninstalled and reinstalled ALSA. I read somewhere that people on Macbook Pro's were having the problem, it's a quick fix I guess, but still, I don't have any sound.. [04:47] Satzo: Okay. Ill partition to make room for /home on a different partition [04:47] Anonymust, linux audio i am weak with.. i dont have good understanding of it [04:48] someone else here prolly does [04:48] Satzo: I am rebooting onto the live CD === jumpkick_ is now known as jumpkick [04:49] cody_, this might sound insane. but you might get away with running windows in vbox to flash bios [04:49] synaptic shows that open office calc is installed but it doesn't show up in Applications > Office, why? [04:49] you are definitely on your own there :) [04:49] lilzeus, system > preferences > main menu... check there [04:49] Satzo, i would NOT recommend flashing a BIOS in that way.... [04:49] I'm having a random segfault on jaunty, anyone experience the same thing? [04:50] arrrghhh, i know its insane :P [04:50] lilzeus: applications, accessories [04:50] Satzo, just because flashing BIOS is not a good idea in general. i try to avoid it, who cares if there's a newer version. unless you need it, obviously... [04:50] it's always on the latest update [04:50] arrrghhh, i 100% agree [04:50] Satzo: I guess its called Formula? [04:50] i warned them to read the changelogs first [04:51] jamiewan: it isn't there [04:51] lilzeus, YES [04:51] yes [04:52] what are some 'must have' apps? [04:52] is this the proper way to add a folder in my "File System" as an environmental path? "export PATH=${PATH}:/dev-tools/blahblahblah/"? [04:52] lilzeus: no.. formula is for building formulas for print not calculations.. calc is basically excel [04:52] scunizi, thx for the correction. :) [04:53] what [04:53] scunizi: then where is calc? I have it installed but it doesn't show up === adam is now known as Guest37622 [04:53] does anyone know how to use a vbox? [04:53] omg [04:53] nevermind [04:53] lilzeus: in a terminal try typing ooffice -calc %U [04:53] they call it Spreadsheet [04:53] yes [04:54] Well, I just got my first Ubuntu machine today -- six ours ago, a Dell netbook I would like to know how to create a shortcut from the desktop -- excuse me, too many years of Windows pollution, I mean a soft link. I'd like a terminal session link like the Python link in the application menu, but for perl. BTW, I already turned off the Dell Dock and switched to the default real Ubuntu desktop. [04:54] hey is there a way to start up where you left off on the minimal installer? Crashed but it got farther than usual [04:54] When I run a program via shell, how do I use the command line while the program is running without doing Program & exit or opening a new tab. [04:54] what are some 'must have' apps for ubuntu? [04:54] how do you make it so pidgin messages dont show up in the indicator applet bubble thing? [04:55] lilzeus, in what context? [04:55] Loafers hit ctrl+z [04:55] mrmowgli: No. [04:55] loafers you stick a & after the end, it runs it as a background process [04:55] *sigh* [04:55] Stazo: well, it would like a good replacement for Macromedia Dreamweaver [04:55] JRWoodwardMSW: Right-click on the file and create "Make Link" [04:55] mrmowgli, thanks! just what I needed! [04:55] JRWoodwardMSW, i just add them to the top toolbar myself [04:55] sorry, Satzo [04:55] Loafers: you could also use screen so you'll have a program running and be able to switch to another "shell".. then pop back and forth.. you can have multiple shells going. [04:56] Satzo, how do I do that? [04:56] scunizi, Screen? Is that like another tab? If so, I don't want to do that. [04:56] infidel2s: turn of the indicator applet bubble thing [04:56] lilzeus, http://www.osalt.com <-- spend some time there and bookmark it [04:56] !screen | Loafers [04:56] Loafers: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [04:57] !screen | Loafers [04:57] scunizi, thanks. [04:57] Loafers: it doesn't create tabs or anthing like that.. [04:57] Oh you did it already. >_> [04:57] Can anybody walk me through the steps for creating a seperate partition for /home? I am shrinking the main linux partition from 54 GiB to 20GiB, and creating a new partition that is ext3 that is 34GiB. What else do i need to do? [04:57] JRWoodwardMSW, are the programs you need already in the applications toolbar? [04:57] !home | cody__ [04:57] cody__: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [04:58] leaf-sheep: Thank you so much. [04:58] cody__: keep shrinking .. root only needs to be between 8-12 gigs.. leave the rest for /home and at least 1 gig for /swap [04:58] Only some, and I have a to add -- MySQL, Apache, PHP, PHPMyAdmin [04:58] How do I setup an rsync mirror for my local network? (Got 5 computers all using ubuntu) === adam is now known as Guest47046 [04:58] kay, does it have to check for file system errors? it needs to do it twice lol. I'm also going to create room for windows :p [04:59] how do i identify myself? [04:59] can someone please help me change the permision settings on these items so i can use my usb camera in winxp vbox? http://pastebin.com/m3cc70951 [04:59] cody__: If you're using a computer, it's much easier to use a home on a separate partition. :3 [04:59] cody__: I mean different hard drive. Sorry.bette [04:59] JRWoodwardMSW, those are back-end things [05:00] leaf-sheep, while were on topic, how much dirty work is involved with making /home on a remote connection via ssh? [05:00] Is there a way Squid can cache the updates a computer does so that when an other computer on the network wants to update aswell, it's lightening fast? [05:00] Oh, and can i shrink it to just what it is using? and the new one to as large as possible. And leaf-sheep If i had a seperate HDD, i would ;) [05:00] I only have a 60GB hard drive :p [05:01] cody__, get out of the 90s :P [05:01] Except for PHP MyAdmin, yes. What I want are links to the things like admin pages, php.ini, etc. [05:01] Satzo: LOL I should right? :P I have a Emachines T4200 made way back when :P [05:01] It shipped with winXP though :P [05:01] cody__: no leave it some room .. with 60 gigs use 8 gigs for / (root) and 1 gig for /swap and the rest for /home [05:02] Satzo: I'm not sure. Doing it via commands would always take awhile. I generally tar my ~/ to external drive. Making backup and whatnot. [05:02] scunizi: Okay, i will set it up to that after this finishes this current one haha [05:02] leaf-sheep, yeah ill prolly end up doing that myself [05:02] scunizi: I also want to leave room for a windows partition. What should be the new setup? [05:02] someday when i get more adept ill do a remote mount tho.. NFS i guess [05:03] Never buying another Windows program again. Was an MCSE for six years, now in recovery. Can't stand the way Microsoft spends its money on politics -- they are a big right-wing donor, tho BillG plays the saintly philanthropist. [05:03] cody__, xp runs just fine with 10gb [05:03] Satzo: It will be windows 7, i have the RC Iso they offered a while back :p [05:03] JRWoodwardMSW, are you comfy with the shell yet? [05:03] Well actually, it is on a DVD but still [05:03] i ask this because you can do the things you wish there easily [05:03] cody__: I'm not sure what a windows install will need.. 10 gigs?.. personally I would run windows in a virtual machine with virtualbox.. that way you don't have to reboot to bounce back and forth.. however vm's of windows don't run games well [05:03] Satzo: Mainly because I'm using a laptop (no separate internal hard drive for me. ;3) [05:04] im having trouble with dpkg-deb command, i did dpkg-deb -i filename.deb but it says to type help [05:04] scunizi: and for me, they never install well ;) Ive never successfully run windows in VirtualBxo [05:04] Box* [05:04] Madcamper: dpkg -i [05:04] I was admin to a FreeBSD box for three years; I have run Ubuntu under windows using Virtual Machine. Also, I was a DOS guy for 9 years before anybody ever heard of Windows. [05:04] does it really take 5 minutes to resize the partition -_- [05:04] ya i just realized that lmfao [05:05] what is the proper way to disable ipv6. dns resolution is slow on karmic for me. [05:05] thx [05:05] cody__: I've done it many times.. running it now.. you can't use the -ose version.. get it from their site [05:05] !ipv6 [05:05] For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [05:05] cody__, i do it all the time.. i need xp for work reasons [05:05] same here [05:06] scunizi: Dang. I have the OSE version :p I will get it from their site after i reboot. After the /home is on the new partition, will i be able to reinstall the hard drive so gnome will be the default manager again? KDE has gotten slow :( [05:06] JRWoodwardMSW, then you can do your requests easily with that shell experience [05:06] Without worrying about losing all my Personal files? [05:06] !puregnome [05:06] If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [05:06] reinstall ubuntu* [05:06] if you want to get really lazy(errrr efficient) you can script with menus [05:06] scuninzi: LOL, i will need that again after i reboot ;) [05:07] Dang, 8 minute partitioning.... [05:07] have some coffee, scotch, beer whatever [05:07] scunizi: DR PEPPER! :P :D :) [05:08] scunizi: BTW, i dont drink cause im still in high school ;) [05:08] cody__: You certainly don't want to halt / interrupt the process. That'll result a mangled data. Just leave it alone. [05:08] how come i cant find python2.4-dbus? [05:08] leaf-sheep: I am waiting, i know that from personal experience *whistle* [05:09] cody__: Go to the fridge and snuck dad's beer out from the fridge. [05:09] Yeah . . . but for speed's sake I'd like to have several desktops, one for each project, and switch, with the icons for all the scripts and directories right there for immediate use. [05:09] leaf-sheep: He doesnt drink either ;) No one in my family does XD [05:09] j #puppylinux [05:09] cody__: good reason.. don't start.. stay away from the other xtra curricular activities as well.. you know, the stuff you parents would kill you if they caught you doing.. not worth it. [05:10] scunizi: Yep, i am actually working on gettting a grant for my universitys buisness department. :) === timber_ is now known as timber [05:10] scunizi: Dont want to get distracted by extracurricular activities that parents would get mad at. [05:10] :p [05:10] qq anyone know how (if it is possible) to start an X session (xinit) with a specific/non-standard xorg.conf? [05:11] JRWoodwardMSW, ahhh. ive no idea how to set that up [05:11] sarloth: Edit the xorg.conf :p [05:11] if u can have desktops assigned to different userspaces... [05:11] I guess I should have explained a bit better :P === marcon is now known as Guest98960 [05:12] Anyone know how to xinit with a second xorg.conf? I have the default setup for booting, but I am trying to open a second x session with completely different settings. [05:13] sarloth, "X" has a "-config FILENAME" switch -- don't know if that helps at all [05:13] ZykoticK9: awesome, I will give that a shot :) [05:14] is python2.4-dbus in the synaptics manager installer? [05:14] Good :) I still have the original WIN7 ISO file, and i can run it in Virtual box :D:D:D [05:14] cause i cant see it, maybe im just overlooking it? === toby_ is now known as tobyn [05:14] Hey everybody [05:14] r0y4lty: Hello [05:15] STILL partitioning :p [05:15] I have a quick question, is it possible that i install moodin with apt-get? [05:15] r0y4lty: Yes, but i do not know the package name [05:15] hmm [05:15] u check synaptic? [05:16] tru sudo apt-get install moondin. It might not work, but its worth a shot. It might have a diff name [05:16] And also synaptic works. Search moondin in it [05:16] kk [05:16] I built a test web server with Ubuntu. Remotely I sftp to it. I was thinking of running webdav. I would have to run it on the vhost /var/www so that I could access all of my accounts. But this is not a production server so I am curious... Any reason (security) I shouldn't do this? [05:16] yeah i tried it but nothing ill give synaptic [05:16] a try [05:16] r0y4lty: Okay, tell us the results ;) [05:16] r0y4lty: maybe ksplash-engine-moodin .. as the package name for apt-get install.. looks like a kde package though [05:17] python2.4-dbus help anyone? [05:17] kk ill keep you updated [05:17] !ask | Madcamper [05:17] Madcamper: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:17] hi..do anyone know any tiling wm here? like xmonad etc.,? [05:17] r0y4lty: at least that is what apt-cache search moodin returns [05:17] i did ask but ill ask again :o [05:17] maestrojed, i cant see a problem.. is the box safe from the net? [05:17] is python2.4-dbus in the synaptics manager installer? [05:17] maestrojed, as long as you follow best practices with the web server configuration and protect authentication properly, there is nothing inherently insecure about WEBDAV [05:18] Madcamper: It should be. Open Synaptic and search python and look for python2.4-dbus [05:18] kk ill look again [05:18] There must be something wrong with partitioning!!! It is STILL partitioning! Lol [05:18] Satzo thedude42 : Gr8 Thank you, I guess the fact that I knew few other people running webdav makes me worried there is some inherit reason not to. I appreciate the vote of confidence === Guido is now known as Guest17899 [05:18] aha [05:18] Package ksplash-engine-moodin is not available, but is referred to by another package. [05:18] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [05:18] is only available from another source [05:18] E: Package ksplash-engine-moodin has no installation candidate [05:18] r0y4lty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:19] i'm gonna need some help here, after restarting my ubuntu partition i got 2 errors, 1. it was saying it was ignoring .dmrc because it had the wrong permissions, i was able to resolve this by deleting the file (after chowning and chmoding it 3 times :|) anyway, second issue i don't quite understand, here is the error message (wrote it down and booted into windows): [05:20] first line: /etc/gdm/Xsession:Beginning Session Setup... [05:20] second line: Setting IM through im-switch for locale = en_US. [05:20] maestrojed, one of the bigger hits that IIS (microsoft's web server platform) got way back in the day was a WEBDAV exploit on server 2000, and because of that WEBDAV has a bad reputation.... but mosr SVN repos use WEBDAV for internet connected repositories [05:20] cody__: Wait a hour! [05:20] mayki: For multiple lines, please go to pastebin.ca [05:20] k [05:20] leaf-sheep: It never has taken this long, i have done this 4+ times in my time of ubuntu. [05:21] !pastebin > mayki [05:21] mayki, please see my private message [05:21] cody__: Well I'm going to reboot. Got a new kernel. [05:21] i didnt find dbus, but found python2.4, dbg, dev, and doc [05:21] leaf-sheep: Okay, cya soon [05:21] but those didnt help me [05:21] Madcamper: Ill look for it in a sec. I'm on liveCD and it is painfully slow :( lol [05:22] ok :P [05:22] here is the link http://pastebin.ca/1618667 [05:22] Its having a HARD time opening synaptic [05:22] cody can you PM the info if you find it? gotta run downstairs rq >< [05:22] thedude42: Thx! [05:22] cody__: you don't need it [05:22] DaZ: ??? [05:22] pr0s use the terminal :f [05:23] mayki: Sorry, i dont know nothing of that :( [05:23] lots of dbus references.. apt-cache search dbus [05:23] DaZ: I know nothing on searching for packages in temrinal ;) [05:23] mrmowgli, lets say if I already have the program running, how do I gain control of the CMI without closing the program its running? [05:23] darn, usually ubuntu tells me "this is broken, fix it by doing this" or "this is what's broken" and i google it and i can get it fixed :( [05:23] cody__: apt-cache search [05:24] mayki: Yea, ubuntu is usually good of letting you know, unlike windows: "ERROR! No definition of error!" :p [05:24] i just ran 'sudo apt-get remove indicator-applet' but it's still running. is that because i have to reboot or what? [05:24] cody__: there's usually error code <: [05:24] Madcamper: What exactly was the package again? [05:24] DaZ: Yea, but ive gotten that exact one multiple times. xD [05:24] lol yeah, that's why i use ubuntu, unfortunately, when stuff like this happens, i have to rely on windows to help me fix it [05:24] mayki: I rely on the ubuntu LIVE CD to help me ;) [05:24] um, python2.4-dbus [05:24] I reinstall ubuntu for quickie work :3 [05:25] i don't know what happened to mine [05:26] Madcamper: It might be just D-Bus. Do you see that? Exact name is: dbus :p [05:26] cody, synaptics worked for me I found the package and it installed it, now the splash screen was applied [05:26] k let me look [05:26] would it be ok if i deleted the contents of /tmp? it's temporary right? so if i delete it the system should just recreate what it needs right? [05:26] Thanks for your help bro [05:26] mayki: Uhm, i'm not 100% on that [05:26] myaki why [05:26] i can't log in anymore [05:27] only to terminal, at first all my permissions were changed and i couldn't even cd $HOME [05:27] Madcamper: There is also: python-qt4-dbus and pyhon-qt4-dbus-dbg [05:28] i ended up having to do sudo chown and sudo chmod to my home folder and setting permissions to 777 JUST so i could cd [05:28] Madcamper: Click the dropdown arrow in synaptic, click search. Type dbus and change the dropdown to only name. [05:28] mayki, that folder is cleaned every boot no? [05:28] after i deleted the .dmrc file though, it seemed ok, so i restarted, then it won't let me log in [05:28] how can i compike a cpp project that only has a Makefile and a bunch of cpp/h files. i tried gcc main.cpp -o main, i also tried sudo make.. make Makefile ... the website nore the project include INSTALL file or documentation [05:28] idk [05:28] hang on mayki [05:28] ok [05:29] mayki, http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/01/19/changing-the-tmp-cleanup-frequency/ [05:29] mayki: chown -R user ~/ [05:29] i got it -- made an Applications link to the perlconsole [05:29] chmod o+rw -R ~/ [05:29] yeah, i did that [05:29] To everybody: I'm going to go watch a movie.

[07:25] nic1 just do a Google search to find out how to put in a.GZ file [07:25] ok [07:25] is there a command to check all the users/groups of a machine? === Julia is now known as Guest26431 [07:27] free_loader: check what about them? list them? [07:31] prince_jammys : yes, and find out what folder/file permission they have [07:31] free_loader: see the files /etc/passwd and /etc/group, or look at the gnome's GUI app under ''Users and Groups'' in the menus. [07:31] no GUI, this is a server [07:31] then the two files i mentioned will show you a list. [07:32] cat /home ? free_loader [07:32] free_loader: "groups username" will give you all groups a particular user is a member of [07:33] is there a way to "launch" a .desktop file from the shell? [07:33] evening all [07:34] Satzo : all users needn't have a directory inside /home [07:34] they said they dont support linux [07:34] Flannel : provides the same function as $id [username] [07:34] LOL [07:34] free_loader: you may also type ''getent passwd'' or ''getent group'' to view the lists. [07:35] joebodo, just finished building it [07:35] hey so whats the command again to list running processes sorted by highest use proc? [07:35] hi all) i have deleted a top panel at gnome, then restore, now i cannt add a applet network manager to it, can anybody help with it? [07:35] knoppix, building ? [07:35] al__ top [07:35] al__, ps auxxxx [07:35] al__, oops - that's not in order [07:36] yea, intel i7 cpu, evga x58 mobo xfx geforce 7950 gx2 vilociraptor 300gig [07:37] prince_jammys : and how do you know the folders/files they have access to and what kind of access(permissions) they have ? [07:37] free_loader: to know the files/directories, i assume you'd have to scan the entire filesystem. [07:37] knoppix, have you determined if your bios is the latest version - even if it's new, it might not have the latest [07:37] said it might be a bent pin on the socket [07:37] I flashed it myself [07:38] knoppix, k [07:38] prince_jammys : ls -l gives me information about a particular user and a particular group and the permissions thjey have [07:38] I want to know [07:38] all the groups/users and permissions [07:39] i don't understand what you mean by this. permissions vary among files. [07:39] support guy asked me if I had tried running windows. I wanted to slap him. LOL [07:40] prince_jammys : for a certain file/folder.. say X, I want to know all the users/groups who have access to it and the permissions they have [07:40] ok wil try top - thanks [07:40] I like htop better. gives you a nice graph [07:40] free_loader: like you said, ls will reveal the permissions and ownership. you may then see what users belong to the group. [07:41] al__, I like htop better. gives you a nice graph [07:41] free_loader: do you understand ls's output of (for example) rwxr-xr-x ? [07:41] does the kernel need rebooting to stay `fresh` [07:41] like windos machines [07:41] kosmic: not usually but it can't hurt [07:42] can't hurt :) [07:42] i have deleted a top panel at gnome, then restore, now i cannt add an applet network manager to it, can anybody help with it? [07:42] prince_jammys : yes I do, rwx-rw-r = permissions for user, group and others , then comes user and then group followed by file name [07:42] Whoo! Good movie! But imma go to bed. 13 mins till partitioning finishes, so ill finish moving the /home tomorrow "[ [07:42] :p* [07:42] knoppix, really seems to be sata related - maybe poke around in bios and see if you can disable (assuming your not using sata drives) [07:43] Night all [07:43] can anyone help me with error 15 after resizing partition [07:44] burner and hdd are sata [07:44] Hi, I am not able to get login scren in my ubuntu....I was able to get it last time I login......but sddenly my applications like open office etc. were not opening.....thant I restarted.....

Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [07:45] shma try sudo shutdown -F -r now [07:45] prince_jammys : not really, oh and is there a way to check the users inside a group? the command groups can only be checked against a username [07:45] free_loader: scroll up, see all my answers.

[08:08] this is very funny thing, on window java can install very easily but on ubuntu 9 thousands problems what can i do now, How i install java 1.6 on ubuntu [08:08] !java [08:08] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [08:08] aoc 919swal [08:08] joebodo: aoc 919swal [08:09] ActionParsnip: asus support sucks [08:09] indus: my asus pundit works sweeeeeet [08:10] jack87_, yes - nothing on google - maybe the user manual ? [08:10] ActionParsnip: their driver page is full of poor english [08:10] ActionParsnip: they are way behind gigabyte for support [08:10] what info am i looking for joebodo? [08:10] indus: depends on the product you buy, should have checked support before purchasing [08:10] jack87_, horizontal and vertical refresh [08:10] ActionParsnip: some new athlon x2 has come out and asus has no official support for my board , while same ones on gigabyte is updated [08:11] ActionParsnip: iam talking about upgrading [08:11] joebodo: i have same monitor on my other laptop running just fine with a nvidia video card [08:11] jack87_, something like this: HorizSync 31.5 - 79.0 [08:11] the 690 g chipset boards [08:11] indus: still, check what works instead of whats cheapest or even fastest, less heartache then [08:11] and their website is slow as hell [08:11] jack87_, is it ubuntu also ? [08:11] if i "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" on that will i be able to find the info [08:12] yes ubuntu as well [08:12] jack87_, i think it might have that info - [08:12] ActionParsnip: amd made the new athlons x2 for this kind of boards, it works but bios says unknown processor, gigabyte is very innovative for this, has updated bios for this [08:12] ActionParsnip: my board is only 2 year old [08:12] nvm [08:13] indus: then buy a gigabyte board if you think they are so great [08:13] The 600-series chipsets suck, you want a 780G at the very least. [08:13] ActionParsnip: ya next upgrade is that one [08:13] what's the concensus on ABIT ? [08:13] joebodo: dead and buried last I heard [08:13] ola [08:13] coira gay [08:13] wahahahha [08:14] por que no te callas? [08:14] hacemos una orgia? [08:14] indus: i check the hcl and online forums for what works 100% out of the box, and buy that. I have never had to install a single driver as the kernel in the distro on the system or the modules on the install cd always support what i buy [08:15] ActionParsnip: your point is different to what iam saying [08:15] ActionParsnip: it worked 100 percent before, but later it didnt [08:16] The only thing the 690G has going for it in this context is that its X1250 graphics core is supported by the open source radeon driver, the 2000-derived cores in the 7xxG chipset still isn't yet. [08:16] indus: so what changed in between? [08:16] joebodo, Sata mode= IDE, or AHCI? [08:16] ActionParsnip: i was just talking about manufacturers in general, here it complaisn about bios bug [08:16] joebodo: it is empty on the other computer.. other computer uses nvidia x server [08:16] indus: could try an older bios maybe [08:17] ActionParsnip: ya i think you are right, maybe [08:17] ActionParsnip: there was a good old bios which worked fine [08:17] ActionParsnip: ill do that today later and update you, [08:17] coolio [08:17] ActionParsnip: do watch out for M2A VM board questions, i would be glad to hear [08:17] hi guys, sorry for bothering with basic questions, to patch i have to run patch -pnum .diff.gz file [08:18] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=229072 [08:18] what is num in that command?

The 600-series chipsets, the SB600 south bridge in particular, is absolute garbage [08:21] anybody know how to install java on ubutu 9, all primary command and methods are failled [08:21] oh, got a new one EXT-fs : sda1 could not mount because of unsupported opional features 240 [08:21] jack87 then restart X by alt-sysreq k [08:22] LSD|Ninja: whats the issue with sb600? [08:22] in adittion to the others. now instead of ata2 its ata8 [08:22] jack87, if your x doesnt start, hit control-alt-F1 for a new terminal and either restore your xorg.conf or make additional changes [08:23] joebodo: http://pastebin.com/m6081e308 [08:23] You all fuckoo [08:23] Hi. Is there a guide somewhere I can send to a Linux newbie explaining the basics of the command line (e.g. permissions and how to change them)? [08:23] Guest82568: make sure you symlink the .so file to your plugins directory [08:23] jack87, yeah - it's not going to be easy - [08:24] ShishKabab: man chmod and man chown [08:24] joebodo: ok we will see thanks [08:24] jack87, you might want to find a good xorg.conf to reference on google - maybe search for "netbook second monitor xorg.conf" [08:24] ShishKabab: http://www.arachnoid.com/linux/shell_programming.html ^_^ hope this helps [08:24] ShishKabab: Sorry I send you the wrong one. [08:25] LSD|Ninja: also whats the diff between 780g and 785 g, which is better [08:25] Hi everyone! [08:25] indus: 785, but there's no high lvl of difference when it comes to same driver usage. [08:25] #ubuntu-it [08:25] Sagan: why is it better? i thought 780 g was newer even though number says otherwwise [08:26] joebodo: there is three sections i am not sure which one to replace [08:26] gladio70: /j #ubuntu-it [08:26] I've got a short (but not googleable) question.... what's de s90reboot s-for in rc3? [08:26] there was a network outage, and when I came to work this morning, my network drive looked like this. how can I fix it? ?????????? ? ? ? ? ? t [08:26] indus: They're essentially the same except the 785G has an uprated graphics core (AMD call it a "4200" but it's the same basic 2400XT-derived core as the the 780 only with a higher default clock speed) and the SB710 south bridge. The SB710 is slightly better than the 700, but both are light years ahead of the 600 [08:26] how can i make it so that vim locks the screen automatically after 5 min of inactivity? [08:26] it is accessible on windows [08:27] grr [08:27] Sagan: This one is already very useful. Could you send me the 'right' one too? [08:27] is LSD|Ninja a hardware bot ? [08:27] LSD|Ninja: yes i would like to know about the sb600 . why is it bad? i might have an answeer to a very old problem [08:27] A laptop without mechanical volume control. And I can't mute/turn down the volume on the ubuntu logon screen [08:27] ShishKabab: yeah I will, Im looking in my library directory for you. Hang on. [08:28] indus: In a nutshell: woeful peripheral (USB, SATA, PCIe) performance. It's also not the most stable thing in the world either. [08:28] how to unzip a .diff.gz file? [08:29] http://pastebin.com/m266e7b66 [08:29] nic1: gunzip [08:29] nic1: mich be: gunzip -d [08:29] ShishKabab: here's an online version, it's been around for a while. [08:30] ShishKabab : http://linuxcommand.gds.tuwien.ac.at/index.php [08:30] ShishKabab: Tell them, Linux is powerful ^^ [08:31] /join #kde-devel === mu3en_ is now known as mu3en [08:32] Sagan: He already sees the advantages and is trying to switch. He currently has problems with a wireless card and will need to configure Apache (for PHP development). [08:32] joebodo: how did you say to restart? [08:32] alt+sysrq? [08:32] jack87, alt-sysreq k [08:33] hello, i thought that gnome-keyring was supposed to hook into gdm somehow, such that i would not need to type in my ssh passphrase once i log into the machine, and yet i get prompted every time while at a prompt [08:33] Sagan: But thanks. This'll get him started nicely. [08:33] crossing fingers [08:33] this is on a fresh jaunty install if that makes a difference... [08:33] jack87, good luck - [08:33] ShishKabab: ^^ kernel is heart of it all. Try to find what device he use. [08:34] !ssh [08:34] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage.

[08:35] Sagan: It's some kind of exotic Dutch (KPN Dongel) device. I am going to redirect him here because I'm not in a position in which I easily help him. [08:35] indus: check what? [08:36] ShishKabab: oh dear, np xD [08:36] !seahorse [08:36] ActionParsnip: its my fix , i ll add it to my launchpad bug page [08:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about seahorse [08:36] nope none joebodo... hum.. im giong to try more editing.. how do i delete lines via vi? [08:36] I recently installed windows 7, which killed grub as usual. However, this time around, my linux partition /dev/sda5 is showing up as a "Linux swap / Solaris" partition...any idea what might be the problem? I can't mount it. [08:36] jack87, dd to delete the line your on [08:36] it's the right size (44G) [08:37] jack87, you can do sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf - that's an easier editor [08:37] indus: i dont see any url pasted by you..? [08:37] ActionParsnip: yikes http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git-commits-head/2008/6/14/2122314 [08:37] joebodo: hm, i think the problem might be that i just dropped in my old id_rsa from another machine without dropping in id_rsa.pub === life is now known as Guest309 === Guest309 is now known as lifeelixir [08:37] joebodo: yup, that was it [08:38] indus: looks perfect [08:38] * achiang logs out to check [08:38] joebodo: perhaps i need to change a different section? kind of nervous [08:38] ActionParsnip: :) ya but iam taking your suggesstion and using an older bios [08:38] indus: i wont be buying one of those..mmm never [08:39] jack87, this might help - its for eee, but all seem to be generic: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:external_monitor [08:39] Sagan: He'll manage. He's a smart guy. Anyway, thanks for the help! [08:39] ShishKabab: we're human after all :) [08:39] ActionParsnip: btw, i have some news for you, remember the plug and play option in bios ? setting it to yes wouldnt boot windows [08:39] indus: weird, the board sounds like a real white elephant to me [08:39] ActionParsnip: that chipset is great for gaming , it is very good [08:40] ActionParsnip: way better than nv 6150 i had [08:40] Can someone give me a good program for adding files to an ipod (podcast,videos,music) [08:40] just to follow up, yes, seahorse requires both your public and private ssh keys; it can then act as an ssh-agent [08:40] ActionParsnip: no all new stuff will have bugs [08:40] ActionParsnip: its impressive when it was launched [08:40] i havent gamed since neverwinter nights was released, except frets on fire to pass the time while GF gets ready [08:40] thank you joebodo i will look into that [08:40] jony123: rythmbox === histo_ is now known as histo [08:40] ActionParsnip: call of duty worked so good on the igp [08:40] !info fsck.cifs [08:40] Package fsck.cifs does not exist in jaunty [08:40] rhythmbox* [08:40] Appiah: Can that add videos and podcasts? [08:41] videos? [08:41] hmm [08:41] never tried [08:41] Hmm.. fscking a remote filesystem.. would be.. interesting. [08:41] podcasts , I think [08:41] its installed by default in ubuntu so just try [08:42] how do i know which java runtime environment i have installed? "dpkg -S $(which java)" doesn't know [08:42] can i disable cronjob's output email ? [08:42] jony123: some googling says yes to podcasts [08:42] ActionParsnip: if you notice, the patch is from amd guy, they are good with open stuff === factorx__ is now known as Tommy_DO [08:42] indus: i dont get excited by gaming boards, i like looking at lower power consumption desktops like linutop [08:42] ActionParsnip: yes this is also very low power [08:43] hey question, im installing ubuntu nbr [08:43] indus: not 6W for the whole system its not [08:43] hello. http://packages.ubuntu.com does not work again.. [08:43] my disk had 4 partitions [08:43] hmmm, tried badblocks on this drive now 3 times, each time it hangs at the same point??? [08:43] ActionParsnip: ya cos the igp takes a little more [08:43] java- version tells me it's java hotspot (tm) client vm. which packages does that come from? [08:43] labeled sda1, sda2. sda3 and sda4 [08:43] ActionParsnip: but it had some network card issues [08:43] ActionParsnip: no good for servers i heard [08:43] hey ActionParsnip [08:43] when i delete sda2 and sda3, will sda4 automatically become sda2? [08:43] indus: exactly, gaming boards have been done forever, low power is a new thing and people are trying to get lower and lower power consumption [08:43] glick: no [08:44] al__: howdy [08:44] how do i change it? [08:44] ActionParsnip: you got any ideas? [08:44] ActionParsnip: oh no , mine is not a gaming board , its vm series, very low cost and stripped down [08:44] ActionParsnip: a low cost gameing option for all [08:44] al__: what about? [08:44] glick: short answer. you dont. [08:44] ActionParsnip: thats why i said the 690 g waas introduced with that purpose [08:45] indus: yes but it pulls more than a lot of power, http://www.fit-pc.com/fit-pc1/ is pretty cool too [08:45] joebodo: anything that is section "screen" i would image is referring to the laptop screen? [08:45] indus: the 7xxG chipsets are better in every conceivable way except that their IGPs cores don't yet work with open source drives in Linux :/ [08:46] ActionParsnip: badblocks, trying it on a drive, always hangs at the same point. Drive is unmounted.... [08:46] LSD|Ninja: ya iam getting one [08:46] my main linux partition is now showing up as a 40G swap partition. Other than panicking, what should I do? [08:46] LSD|Ninja: in a few months [08:46] al__: fsck the drive in live enviroment [08:46] indus: 6W for a desktop PC, thats pretty special [08:46] jack87, no - but the monitor section is what your interested in [08:46] ok i got virtual box to work but its the 3.0.8 non-free === Guest5000468 is now known as JoeSomebody === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [08:47] can i install the ose on the same host and use the vdi that i got running with the 3.0.8 [08:48] ActionParsnip: 6 w is low isnt it [08:48] toefur: i'd say yes but i'd ask in #vbox to clarify [08:48] indus: less than a lightbulb [08:48] hey i am trying to download a package, it tells /tmp/confuse_2.6.orig.tar.gz could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder. Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location. [08:48] any idea about the error i am getting? [08:48] one more thing: the partition is showing up as mounted - I tried to force mount it as ext3 but mount is telling me that it's already mounted (which it isn't) [08:48] indus: heh, in a few months the Clarkdale Intels will be out and, apart from graphics performance, will be kicking the AMD x2s up and down the court. Anyway, when looking at 700-series IGP boards, go for one with sideport memory as they let you avoide taking too much system RAM for the graphics. [08:49] indus: i find that stuff more interesting than systems with 16 CPUs and 2tb RAM [08:49] LSD|Ninja: iam going for dedicated graphics [08:49] how would i restore my back up? joebodo [08:49] LSD|Ninja: also iam pro amd, like to help thema bit :) [08:49] LSD|Ninja: clarkdale? what are those? [08:50] ActionParsnip: its a NTFS drive [08:50] LSD|Ninja: i mean specs [08:50] jack87, sudo cp ~/xorg.conf /etc/X11/ [08:50] al__: install ntfsprogs then you can fsck it [08:51] LSD|Ninja: i always suspectedthe sb600 to have network problems, but i cant put a finger on it [08:52] indus: lol, the only way you can help AMD at this point is by donating USD$3 billion. They're going to go bankrupt, it's inevitable. Hopefully the new owners will make something worthwhile out of the remains. Anyway, Clarkdale is the dual core Nehalem variant with the integrated GMA graphics core. [08:53] LSD|Ninja: whats so funny about some company going bankrupt? [08:53] LSD|Ninja: anyways off topic [08:54] jack87, http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1272749&page=2 another to look at... [08:55] indus: What's funny is the attitude that it's somehow possible to help a company that's up to their eyballs in debt and haemorraging cash by buying a few of their products at retail [08:55] thanks again [08:55] <_MrsApple_> my dvd drive isn't showing up anymore [08:56] can jaunty by default (standard installation) use an umts-stick with the network-manager? i cant use apt-get install because i dont have access to the wan but i am getting an umts-stick the next days [08:56] _MrsApple_: try: sudo lshw -C disk | less [08:56] Anybody using gnome-colors know how I can toggle on colors? [08:56] Hi, Wondering if someone could help. I'm on a laptop and want to run a cron job that will sync my files to the server using unison. I only want this to run when I'm online. I connect to the net through different interfaces at different time (eth, wifi, mobile broadband). Any idea on how something like this can be set up? Thanks [08:57] !cron | TxHawks [08:57] TxHawks: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts.

[08:57] joebodo: i dunno what i did because i killed the display bad for both screens [08:57] jack87, this one might be the best one - it has step by step : http://www.ubuntumini.com/2008/10/mailbag.html [08:58] _MrsApple_: does you optical drive not show? scroll up and down with cursors [08:58] iceroot, but check that the stick is linux competible [08:58] jack87, that was bound to happen :) [08:58] I've installed ubuntu via preseed- works fine. Now I need to get the nvidia drivers working to get twinview+3D up. Sadly after using a preseed install the gui driver tool hangs. Eventually it returns claiming it tried to restart the backend. But to no avail [08:58] LSD|Ninja: ill give youa reply to that in pm if you so wish [08:58] <_MrsApple_> yeah it's not showing [08:58] joebodo: but i think after restoring its going to work i see more res options [08:58] MenZa, thanks [08:58] jack87, nice...

[09:00] iceroot, google it [09:00] ActionParsnip: debian-installer mechanism to answer questions on install and select packages [09:01] I have installed the pulsadio desklet and it workes fine. But it is very hard to right cklick on it to get to the settings. Is there anoter way to reach a desklets settings? [09:01] fascinating! === _MrsApple_ is now known as _MrApple_ [09:01] ok, apt-get-ed it ... will take another look... :) [09:01] joebodo: shit the res i wanted disapeared from the list i was so close [09:01] <_MrApple_> ActionParsnip, what specifically am I looking for? [09:01] ActionParsnip: fsck looks complicated. try it with -r? [09:01] _MrApple_: anything relating to the drive [09:02] al__: theres a man page as well as stuff online [09:02] ActionParsnip: yes! I looked at it thats how I know its complicated:-) [09:02] TxHawks: i am at work, cant use http :( [09:02] when using aptitude via ssh and putty. I sometimes get weird symbols in the curses UI. Could this be because of incorrect charmap/encoding? [09:02] <_MrApple_> ActionParsnip, I believe I found something retaining to the drive [09:02] Nope, the gui claims it's nopt installed and still hangs when I click Activate [09:03] ActionParsnip: the drive has no important data on it, just for experimenting [09:03] _MrApple_: then you may need boot options to get it visible [09:03] iceroot: use links http://www.. xD... [09:03] dpkg-query says: ii nvidia-glx-180 180.44-0ubuntu1 NVIDIA binary Xorg driver [09:04] <_MrApple_> ActionParsnip, when I tell the drive to mount via the Disc Mounter on my userbar it kicks back the error message "mount: special device /dev/scd0 does not exist" [09:05] _MrApple_: do you have any device in /dev that start with cd [09:05] is there a way I can hide the world map in gnome clock but keep the location clocks?

[09:06] iceroot: not being able to surf the web is like not being able to fly , freedom is what us linux user is about. === jony123_ is now known as jony123 [09:07] Sagan: ? can you tell me what is the difference betwenn using ff on windows, ff on linux or any other client like lynx? the http-traffic is logged. so there is no way to use http from work [09:08] iceroot: Do you have a computer at home running Linux? [09:08] well just wait til you get home I'm sure that's better than getting fired [09:08] MenZa: yes but no wan (as i told that is my problem) [09:09] iceroot: ah. I didn't read your question, only your last comment. I was going to suggest tunneling your access through SSH. [09:09] Sagan: could ssh to your home PC then launch your browser using X forwarding (assuming you can install an x server on the client (if it doesnt have one) [09:09] Nimptsch: i have no wan at home but in the next days i will get an umts-stick and my question was if umts is running with network-manager by defasult without using apt-get install [09:10] oh i have no idea about that stuff [09:10] iceroot: if it's log, and you're using a linux operating system, you still get logged. even using Lynx, Im wondering what sort of server it is.. [09:10] Sagan: squid [09:11] Sagan: hehe at least they didn't use SquidGuard, I"ll google to see if there's a hack :) [09:11] ops Im talking to myself [09:11] iceroot: I"ll check if there's a way around Squid :) ^^ [09:11] silly question: how do i look at the root folder in the file browser? [09:12] Sagan: do you think i will use a hack at work? [09:12] purplebase: gksudo nautilus next question is...why? [09:12] Sagan: also this is getting offtpoic but thanks for your help [09:12] iceroot: sure, you plug the program into a usb, plug usb into machine, auto run it with some bash script, hehe...im thinking how this may work. [09:13] iceroot: yeah just a thought, always keep trying to explore the unexploreable xD [09:13] ActionParsnip, looks like kino saved a file there and i want to get it out. [09:13] Sagan: but not at work [09:13] ok, how do I install the equivelent of kubuntu from an existing ubuntu install? [09:13] Is there a meta package? [09:13] mrmowgli: install 'kubuntu-desktop' [09:13] purplebase: you can use: sudo -i and cp it at cli too, weird how kino has access to the folder too, the app should e runing as you [09:13] and proberlly kubuntu-restricted-extras [09:13] Hey guys, getting a really weird thing with the latest 9.04... I have just burnt the iso to a CD, and it booted fine, I managed to get through the bit where you choose the language fine, but when I go to press enter on /any/ of the options (like 'install ubuntu, check disk for defects), nothing happens at all. Any ideas? [09:14] Neurolysis: did you run the CD verifier? Did you MD5 check the ISO? [09:14] Dr_Willis: thx [09:14] ActionParsnip: both. [09:14] sorry, not the former [09:14] but i have checked the md5 [09:14] joebodo: we are golden! thanks for your help [09:14] ActionParsnip, it should not be running as root, but i needed to do that so i would capture a DV file from a camara...what a pain!! [09:14] read it too quickly. [09:14] Neurolysis: did you burn the CD very SLOWLY? [09:14] ActionParsnip: yes. 2x. [09:14] purplebase: i'd log that as a bug [09:14] Neurolysis: good [09:15] joebodo: last few links kinda made me screw it up over and over lol... but in the end my attempts to fixing my screw up led to the success :) i wish i knew what i did so i could post it for others [09:15] jack87, excellent [09:15] jack87, yeah - i had the exact same experience [09:15] Neurolysis: try setting bios to failsafe defualts as well as disable uneeded hardware like usb, sound and lan (if you can) [09:16] Dr_Willis: what's the kubuntu-restricted-extras? [09:16] joebodo: i wonder if it will stick [09:16] mp3 playback etc? [09:16] joebodo: if i reboot and plug monitor in later.. hum..

[09:16] ActionParsnip, on the webpage where i found the info it said it was not a bug but a security issue and gave me the work-around. seems weird, but hey, i'm just a boy [09:16] mrmowgli: ectra bits you proberly want. mp3/video codecs/java/flash/other things [09:16] Dr_Willis: will do! === t3cki3_ is now known as t3cki3 [09:18] joebodo: ok now that i have that out of the way.. i am excited to learn ubuntu environment. any sugested packages i should install? [09:18] so the gui wasn't working as the user wasn't in 'admin' [09:19] ActionParsnip: still not working. weird thing is as i say, it still lets me get past the language selection by pressing enter :\ [09:19] hi all [09:19] now it doesn't habg but neither it nor the apt-get solution works - I get that the nvidia kernel module isn't loaded [09:19] purplebase: weird, should still be runable as user, they could add permissions for users to access whatever it is needs accessing. Not sure as I dont do that kind of stuff [09:19] purplebase: had similar issues with dv recorder, if i recall changin group in modprobe did the trick http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-784385.html [09:20] Neurolysis: got a usb stick you can install from, that may be better [09:20] I am using 64bit ubuntu 9.04, but openoffice 3.1, and I cannot start it.

[09:21] joebodo: one thing that is annoying.. it looks like ubuntu desides on which one the main screen is depending on where it is placed in the display panel. i want my second screen to be on the left in this case when ever i do that it auto configures it to be the main [09:21] ActionParsnip: trying right away. [09:21] ActionParsnip: no, nothing changed [09:21] cab_: gksudo for gedit, not sudo [09:21] ActionParsnip, since i am so very new at 1. linux, 2. videos and 3. anything to do with programming, i guess i don't do that kind of stuff either...but i am stumbling around quite well*grin* [09:21] ActionParsnip: only an external using USB. BIOS doesn't seem to like USB full stop [09:21] jack87, not sure - i use nvidia and that sets the primary for me [09:21] Neurolysis: you can boot a special floppy to then kick off a usb stick [09:21] Hey guys! Can you explain me why after the latest karmic update, every icon has a green tick? [09:21] purplebase: change line: KERNEL=="raw1394", GROUP="disk" to KERNEL=="raw1394", GROUP="video" [09:21] !karmic | dbugger [09:21] dbugger: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic is BETA and MAY break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [09:21] tiara [09:22] joebodo: ya the nvidia machine works great... damn intel haha thanks anyway.. i really do appreciate all of your help on getting that going [09:22] cab_, have no idea what you are talking about but will inform myself asap...right now i am late for work...thx for your help and i will see where it leads me in the future!!

If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [09:24] ActionParsnip: if you mean like a 98 bootdisk, i tried that, but it seems it doesn't recognise any other drive than it's own [09:24] jack87, i like skype, deskbar-applet, ubuntu-restricted-extras, guake, prism, songbird, and gparted [09:24] tried A: through Z:, only A: is recognised [09:24] Neurolysis: yes like a 98 bootdisk, but not an ACTUAL 98 boot disk [09:24] well what would you suggest === HandheldPenguin` is now known as HandheldPenguin [09:25] Neurolysis: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/use-a-floppy-to-boot-usb-pendrive-linux/ [09:25] ActionParsnip: that's my problem, it dies without any warnings, etc. it just dies [09:25] Neurolysis: microsoft stuff is very rigid in config so achieves very little. Linux is very flexible so can do more than nothing (which is a bit more than windows does) [09:26] sarmisak: even if you run it from terminal?

[09:37] digital-rouge: no, you have 1 disk, sda. It has 2 partitions, sda1 (primary) and sda2 (extended), sda5 is a logical partition on the extended partion and occupys 100% of it [09:37] so all 3 partitions are my hd not anythign else [09:37] ? [09:38] digital-rouge: you go to http://pastebin.com paste the text there, type your name and click paste, you can then share HUGE amounts of text with a single line so you do not scroll the channel like you just did [09:38] so it would read sdb [09:38] got ya [09:38] ok [09:38] so do i need a driver for it to mount or what is the issue [09:39] digital-rouge: might not be sdb, might be something else, if you remove the card, wait 10 seconds, then plug in the card and wait 10 seconds and run: dmesg | tail you can see what is going on [09:39] Where do I request for a package to be updated?

Is there a way to make this behaviour default? I.e. command line until I want firefox or whatever. [10:48] edmoore: disable X [10:48] edmoore: but that means you'll have to manually startX everytime you want an X11 application [10:48] So it asks to add "mem=xxxM vmalloc=256M" to grub.conf to reserver that memory [10:48] well , thenn you cant start gui stuff [10:48] ikonia: I know it's something vaguely to do with that but I'm not sure specifically how one does it? [10:48] Gnimsh: do i have to somehow get the sound file to not go to playback but go to capture or something ?

I'd like to do-release-upgrade, and switch to 9.10 beta, but first I wanted to ask this - after the final release date, if I'll do apt-get upgrade, will my laptop be reasonably equivalent to a Jaunt [17:07] upgraded to the final Karmic, or is it likely to still have 'beta traces' on it?

[20:52] !undelete | desesperado [20:52] desesperado: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [20:52] erUSUL: love u from deep from my heart [20:52] Corey you should find it under games [20:53] Corey if you are new to Linux you would find using the package manager easier than starting with the command line. [20:53] Corey try going to the Ubuntu wiki for information. [20:53] !wiki [20:53] http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu development documentation wiki. If you are looking for system help, please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community - the Ubuntu community documentation. [20:53] how do i get the package manager? [20:54] resno, is that something that you have to install extra form the install cd's? [20:54] Corey go to the above link. [20:54] corey__, you need to use synaptic package manager in the administration section of the main menu [20:55] Nitrohax: i think so. vnc isnt usually installed and you need it on both ends [20:55] does anyone have msn or an email i can email to ask questions? [20:55] corey__, then search for your game, right click and select install, apply - then your game will appear under the games section of the main menu [20:55] corey__: best to just pop in here when you have a question [20:55] resno, i've been able to remote connect to my network at home and everything works, but when i try to do it from a remote location using the ip it refuses the connection [20:55] ah ha! Found the mouse pointer culprit. Compiz assistive tech was trying to move it to the focused window. [20:55] Nitrohax: port forwarding on your router [20:56] Corey try the above links. [20:56] joebodo_ i have no idea how to do that lol [20:56] what do i do when pidgin fail to register jabber with message '409 registration fail - colide'? [20:56] Nitrohax: yea port forwarding. your router is blocking the connection. [20:56] i have these messages filling up my logs: http://pastebin.com/d5d450928 any ideas how to fix this? [20:56] pepperjack, i thought i said it up right and it says that i can connect using the the ip from the remote desktop program under administration === werdan7_ is now known as werdan7 [20:57] and i had to change the settings for that to port 5900 it wouldn't let me change to port 22 [20:57] hello [20:57] my main is xp i just put xubuntu on an older pc and i have no clue how to do anything lol [20:57] Mystic: [20:57] unles i was in the wrong setting [20:57] i just click buttons and hope sumthing happens [20:58] Corey then use the help files or do a Google search or use the above links. You have to read and do some work for yourself. [20:58] corey__, find "Synaptic package manager" in your menu [20:58] Nitrohax: you have to open the router. its blocks incoming ports. [20:58] im not real fond of reading pages and pages cause ill get into the page im at and foget the last one... [20:58] resno, i thought i did. i'll double check when i get home soemtimes in the next year. LOL [20:58] so ill just come here and ask questions :) [20:58] Nitrohax: if you are using vnc you might want to forward 5900-5910 or something on your router. when connecting from the internet the router doesnt automatically know which machine on your network you are tyring to connect to [20:59] Corey do you have a Linux users group in your community? [20:59] yeah i do but i dont know how to contact them or anything [20:59] pepperjack, ok i have it forwarded to 5900 right now. how do i tell the client side of VNC to connect to the right computer [21:00] one last try, i have these messages filling up my logs: http://pastebin.com/d5d450928 any ideas how to fix this? [21:00] Corey look them up on the Internet and you should have a list of one their meetings are held. [21:01] when you lauch vncserver normally it starts listening on 5901. so in your vnc client you would connect by typing 192.168.1.4:1 or if 5902 :2 im not sure if that is what you are asking though [21:01] ok but im only 15 do i have to be 18 to attend? [21:01] Corey if you can read and index you do not have to read a lot of pages. [21:01] hmmm.... let me try that. one sec [21:01] Corey you might also be able to find videos on YouTube. [21:02] ok thanks \ [21:02] i have a production ubuntu virtual mail server running openldap, postfix, dovecot, squrrielmail, spam/virus etc...now i want to keep it up to date but i am worried that a package upgrade might ruin my install. thats why i dont use automatic updates...should i be worried about doing a apt-get update then apt-get upgrade...should i be picking and choosing which updates should go down? i def want the security updates is there a way to just choose those? [21:02] corey__, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JDi2CYSsYk [21:02] is there anything i can download that will make things install on there own? [21:03] how can I list the bot commands? [21:03] corey__, deb? [21:03] corey__: why would you want things to "install ontheir own?" [21:03] !bot > wamty (wamty, see the private message from ubottu) [21:03] laziness :) [21:03] pepperjack, right now when i try to connect i'm just typing the ip adress. so i should add the :5901 [21:03] so i dont have to go through the trouble of tryijng to figure it out caus eidk what most of the stuff u guys tell me is... [21:03] ubuntu software center in karmic will make it easier for new people [21:03] you know what I call [21:04] my new found operating system [21:04] that is on two of my hard-drives [21:04] richierich: on a given release no programs will change version only security fixes go in so the chances of icompatibility from a upgrade are really low [21:04] Conjoined twins [21:04] corey__: "sudo apt-get install programname" will install your software. period. you're expected to know *which* software you want to install, though. [21:04] they are depended on eachother to launch [21:04] !software > corey__ (corey__, see the private message from ubottu) [21:04] richierich: just do not enable backports [21:04] !software [21:04] A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents === apangnu is now known as apangnu_ [21:05] erUSUL: the backports will upgrade the version? === apangnu_ is now known as apangnuz [21:05] richierich: yes. [21:06] richierich: production server --> use LTS release only enable security repos [21:07] yea i should of but i built it 9.04 and it worked perfectly so i left it as is [21:07] anyone know about mount times? apparently my other ubuntu partition is set some time in the future :O [21:07] erUSUL: is it safe to just enable the security repos on a non LTS release? [21:07] richierich: do not see why not [21:08] mayki, is it failing to boot ? [21:08] yes [21:08] it says i was logged in for less than 10 seconds [21:09] luckily i had a partition of equal size that i wasn't using [21:09] so i installed 9.04 on there and copied a ton of files [21:09] mayki, when you get the admin console on boot, you can run fsck on that drive to fix the errors - i usually pick the option that says answer yes to all prompts [21:09] erUSUL: seems like the backports in my sources.list is commented out [21:10] now dependencies are broken and i have to wait ~3hours for apt-get install -f to finish [21:10] erUSUL: still dont feel to safe about automatic updates, i think i will stick to doing those manually, what do you think? [21:10] :O [21:10] !fsck [21:10] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [21:10] kann jemand deutsch [21:10] didn't know that, am gonna check as soon as all dependencies are met [21:10] !de | wolle [21:10] wolle: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [21:10] richierich: fine; it is ok and recomended... i think that ubuntu server does not do automatic updates... [21:11] oh wait, is that the same thing as the scan? [21:11] cuz i had it scan and it didn't change anything [21:11] i must have something messed up because now it's not refusing or doing anything. [21:11] oh never mind it just took a lot longer then norml to be refused. [21:12] when i chose the recovery option i put recover X, and it said it was overwriting a xorg.config file which seems to have been changed, it backs it up and overwrites, but every time i restart it gives me the same error [21:13] i luckily save everything to an external hard drive, so re-installing is not THAT big of a deal, i am just messing with it trying to see if i can learn how to fix it, must say, i have learned a lot already :| [21:13] erUSUL: it just took me a few days to get the server perfect the way i want and it runs great and i wouldn't want anything to happen to it. its my pride and joy ;) [21:14] mayki, normally, if your drive has errors, it will give you an administration prompt, from there you want to run "fsck" on the drive that has the errors [21:14] mayki, fsck can check and repair anything wrong with the drive - including future dates [21:15] is there any way ot get a non supported tv tuner to work with ubuntu? [21:15] oh ok, i will try that, am just waiting for my apt-get install -f to finish [21:16] the asus side says it wokrs wiht window versions.. but no mention of any other os [21:16] richierich, if your server runs any services open to the internet, you want to have at least the security updates [21:17] richierich: make an image of the parition and keep it safe ? backups ? [21:19] any one got any tips for the linux noob? [21:20] hello does anyone know any any software that will accept icecast/shoutcast streams and play it back on the local sound card? [21:20] like ill be on my laptop and send a mp3 stream to some sort of daemon that plays back on the local hardware [21:20] iv looked for icecast sound card patch and icecast local sound playback [21:21] not found what i am looking for [21:21] wondered if anyone can help with my search [21:21] parabyte: eh, sorry if i sidestep, but... why? [21:21] now say that again in a language i can understand :) [21:21] iv looked into jack and pulseaudio and they use way too much bandwidth over a internet linlk [21:21] link [21:21] hello [21:21] quer tc? [21:21] nomidade [21:22] parabyte: ehm, aren't you saying you want to do the whole thing on *one* machine? [21:22] basically i want to stream mp3 audio from audacious and send it to my server and play it back on a sound card on my server that is wired to my 1 watt fm transmitter [21:22] so i can listen to my music around the area [21:22] i havnt found any software that will do this [21:22] buy an ipod? [21:22] lol [21:22] (et al) [21:23] parabyte: can't you instad run the server/daemon on the *laptop*, and use any shoutcast client on the server? [21:23] get a new-better sound card [21:23] lol needs to be other way around [21:23] parabyte: why? [21:23] TBird, corey__: how would that help? [21:23] so i can send audio data from other machines to my server with the sound card [21:23] hey guys [21:23] sup [21:23] erUSUL: i backup the home partition (which holds all the mail for the virtual domains), /etc and /var/lib/ldap directories every night, and every once in a while i use clonezilla to make an image of the / partition [21:23] parabyte: eh, yes. what i described *allows* that. [21:24] I lost my ubuntu password [21:24] how can i recover it? [21:24] how can i configure the server with mpg123 to never ever drop out and accept connections? [21:24] ???

Any ideas ? === LjL-Temp is now known as LjL2 [21:26] !password | soeplepel [21:26] How can I load into Ubuntu after installing it in vista via wubi? [21:26] bastid_raZor wut [21:26] ajitam: give the complete absolute path (see which ssh) [21:27] ajitam, and perhaps, a space is needed too "nestat -nat" [21:27] i srsly lost my password this isnt funny [21:27] who was asking about shoutcast? i've lost it in the ntsplit backscroll [21:27] i dont even know my account name anymore [21:27] soeplepel: when ubottu comes back.. that is the factoid that will solve your issues. [21:27] guntbert: I don't understand :S path for what ? [21:28] unop: but this command works [21:28] can i just install the new ubuntu [21:28] when is it coming out? [21:28] LjL2, parabyte was .. [21:28] I dont really care about the data on that partition, its useless anyway [21:28] ajitam, without spaces?? [21:28] ajitam: try: which ssh , and: which netstat [21:28] right, thanks [21:28] unop: yes [21:28] guntbert, though, he's running netstat on the remote machine [21:29] ajitam, well, I get something like this -- $ netstat-nat [21:29] bash: netstat-nat: command not found [21:29] * guntbert blushes [21:29] unop: thx [21:30] parabyte, i'm not sure what the problem is with what you want to do. the package description for "icecast-server" says: "Many audio players can listen to Icecast streams [...] [21:30] Popular clients such as XMMS or Winamp can also stream audio to an icecast server, using specific plugins.", which sounds like both the thng *sending* the music and the client *receiving* it can run on any computer, regardless of where the server is. [21:30] unop, guntbert: I write "ssh root@address "nestat-nat" > log.txt" in command line it works === LjL-Temp is now known as LjL [21:30] ajitam: please type which ssh - what does that give?

[21:33] ajitam: ask the channel again for further assistance - I got to go - bedtime [21:33] (meaning that the .deb files I find in /var/cache don't work for my 64bits machine) [21:33] guntbert: ok thx [21:33] Ubuntu-Noob: please ask in #winehq [21:34] trece8, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OfflinePackageDownload perhaps [21:34] trece8: i havent fooled with that but ive see apt-zip suggested also [21:34] sorry I lost the link to list all factoids [21:34] what is it pls?

Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [22:28] !sbackup [22:28] sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe [22:28] thanks [22:28] FirstSgt, what do you need to backup? [22:28] !Universe [22:28] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [22:28] I need to back up like the last 10 days of all the usr accnts [22:28] obiwan_: winterswift LexR yes hello/hi [22:29] fearful: from the states? [22:29] e.g. someone calls in saying i really really screwed something up, can you send me back to 5 days go. [22:29] could anybody tell me how I would boot from my external usb hard drive bc i got grub loaded but I dont know the command to get the ubuntu to start [22:29] now, i'd like something like svn [22:29] LaireTM, actually no El Salvador, don't speak english on a regular basis but think we're going too off topic [22:29] where i can pick a revision/date [22:29] but i've only used rsync and subversion [22:30] w0000t? sry i don't get it sebsebseb [22:30] FirstSgt: a good place to start is #ubuntu-server [22:30] i dont wanna copy a screwup by using rsync [22:30] bastid_raZor: is that really specific to the server version (and thanks, never new that channel existed). [22:30] When I try to install ubunto from a usbstick i come to the BusyBox, when i try to start liver version i have a black screen [22:31] I can not install ubuntu from usb.It gives me I/O error [22:31] FirstSgt: yes, that channel is all about the server [22:31] this happens at 45% of installation completion [22:31] obiwan_: more than one or two after I did it :) so I joked saying it was nearly the whole channel [22:32] hhahah lol ok ok xD i'm so short xd [22:32] this is with the 9.10 beta [22:32] ikonia: #uibuntu+1 for the beta [22:33] ioka: that was for you [22:33] sebsebseb: what ? [22:33] ikonia: my auto complete went wrong [22:33] anybody got a macbook or broadcom nic? [22:33] sebsebseb: not to worry, easy done [22:33] well I'll try to defragment the usb flash drive and try again [22:33] so all backup questions should be in ubuntu server right? [22:33] ikonia: yep [22:34] hi peoples..

[22:35] bottiger, man sudo [22:35] that's related to sudoers, not pam [22:35] ubuntu 9.04 is lagging badley for me now.. how can i diagnose and fix?? [22:35] any ideas about usb install? [22:36] bottiger: did you not take backup of your files before messing around ? [22:36] joaopinto: well - I hanv't touched the sudoers file [22:36] ikonia: nope [22:36] jagjr: lagging how? [22:36] maybe ubuntu copies the files too fast and my usb can not handle it [22:36] jagjr: "My OS is running slow" isnt really a valid question [22:36] ioka: you said about the beta so you should be asking in #ubuntu+1 [22:36] when i switch from window to window [22:36] oo ok [22:36] it's only recently done this [22:36] bottiger, so there is something odd over there, because it's the sudoers config which controls sudo requirements [22:36] 10x :) [22:36] jagjr: when did it start? [22:37] Is there a bittorrent client that has a web interface so that I can manage my torrents from the web browser on my cell phone?

[22:38] TimReichhart, you need to set the usb device as the first boot device in your bios [22:38] 9.04 Jaunty [22:38] joaopinto: I'm not an expert, but then what's the point of /etc/pam.d/sudo ? (not that i have messed around with that one) [22:38] yea its already set there [22:39] I got my screen setting at this grub> [22:39] can anybody recommend an inventory/stock control program or direct me to tutorials where i may learn to create a suitable program. [22:39] bottiger, oh, there is a pam sudo config :P [22:39] bottiger, I am not an expert either :P [22:39] Bacon: still has a web interface you can browse to :D [22:40] jagjr: you said it lags when you switch windows. is anything else lagging? [22:40] Bacon: so you have your home router set to forward port 80 to the computer that will host this website and you know how to get to it via external IP or via dynamic DNS setup right? [22:40] erm.. firefox [22:40] pidgin [22:40] !dyndns [22:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about dyndns [22:40] nearly everything [22:41] jagjr, have you opened the system monitor and looked for processes that are consuming a lot of cpu ? [22:41] bottiger: ok, you do know that sudo skips authentication if you re-sudo within a certain time-interval? Just checking... === YDdraigGoch is now known as Richie [22:42] jagjr: okay, do you have desktop effects turned on?

[22:44] jagjr: gnome is the ubuntu interface [22:44] oic [22:44] hmmm.. so why is it reacting like this? [22:44] jagjr: not helpful though, as thats what's lagging in the first place, not whats causing it to lag [22:44] jaggy, gnome do is an applet for launching applications quickly [22:45] lol [22:45] huh?? [22:45] jagir, gnome do is an applet for launching applications quickly [22:45] i fixed [22:45] jagjr: what was it?

[22:48] how to avoid locked and slow and unresponsive system while installing apps with synaptic [22:48] nikolam, use nice [22:48] !nice [22:48] 'Nice' is a property of a process that determines how willing it is to give CPU time to other processes. A higher value makes it more likely to give away time. A negative value makes it less likely. Values are from -19 to 19, with 0 being the default. For more information, type 'man nice' at a terminal. [22:48] system gets unresponsive and all apps get locked while installing some .deb from synaptic or upgrade [22:49] joebodo, so i should get to command line and type nice xy something every time i upgrade or install? [22:49] why nice is not used by default for it [22:49] nikolam, yes - or you can adjust the priority in the system monitor [22:50] maybe I could change shortcut command line from menu? [22:50] nikolam, i dont have an issue with installing upgrades - [22:50] so that it use nice when I click on icon in menu? [22:50] nikolam, that should work [22:50] it works, just killing all processes [22:50] Hi guys, I'm running Karmic Beta, and after an upgrade it wouldn't boot anymore, so I started the recovery mode, to fix broken packages. But I only have access to a wireless network, and somehow it doesn [22:51] fuck [22:51] so that sound is not well, redraw, mouse everything gets slow [22:51] 't connect to it [22:51] nikolam, no - i meant changing the menu shortcut should work - you might want to try it out on the command line first to make sure you get the commadn right [22:51] I tried everything, setting through iwconfig wlan0 ap, essid, key off (its open), [22:52] rerunning dhclient, but it iwconfig wlan0 keeps saying Access Point: not assiocated, and I have no internet [22:52] histo, how can i add a new password to a encrypted device if i don't know the old key? the device is mounted atm but i lost my password :-( [22:52] aha ok. Maybe I can post a bug about this so that it could be done by default on some next release or even updated to LTS, etc [22:52] Sh4wn: so you're saying you cant connect to your network?

[22:56] RS-232: yeah, go with songbird [22:57] fack [22:57] don't know for exaile, but maybe there's a plugin or something [22:57] It is a pity, I was very happy with Amarok, but it seems the more they update it the more they screw it [22:58] RS-232, perhaps just stay with the older version that you like ...

[23:03] cory: first you need to install the dependencies "bottleopener" and "cheese" [23:03] sorry corey i mean. [23:03] Is there a software firewall for ubuntu, like for restriciting a certain program like firefox from accessing thr internet? [23:03] corey: wine path_to_windows_executable_here [23:03] is there a gui mail server config other than webmin [23:04] corey: or just click on your .exe and open it [23:04] !firewall | FluxD [23:04] FluxD: 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 [23:04] i do but it keeps showing a blank page === ring1 is now known as ring0 [23:04] corey: you need to make sure you associate it with wine if you want to click to run, it isn't associated by default [23:04] rithymbox is all what I need, cool!

I want to install a dual boot between winxp pro 64x et ubuntu 64x... and Id like to know what is the best way to create the partitions [23:07] limpbzkit, http://www.pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ [23:08] Sehrus: dont, just use the prepackaged Wubi installer [23:08] Sehrus: no partitions needed, installs in the windows partition [23:08] when I start fluxbox through gdm the fonts are all weird, and the icons are all messed up, if i do it though startx everything looks good [23:08] Sehrus: Install WinXP on half the disk (make a partition half-the disk), then install ubuntu on the free space. (Swap same size as RAM and / with the rest) [23:08] Sehrus, it would be "better" to setup real partitions and not us Wubi [23:09] nowimproved: do you have gnome-settings-daemon running when you start up? [23:09] soni__: do you mean add a user to be able to use sudo? [23:09] softdrink, does that only start if you load fluxbox through gdm? === miguel is now known as Guest16715 [23:10] the best way I think is to make 2 primary partitions - one ntfs for windows, one shared for linux and windws which has to be fat32 partition and then make one extendent partition .then when you install ubuntu make it install on the extendent partition.Use guided installation [23:10] ZykoticK9: but then the windows partition gets shrinked [23:11] winterswift, true. But if you use Wubi you are asking for problem, plus if Windows goes down you lose both your OSs [23:11] ioka: you don't really need the fat partition anymore, since ubuntu doesn't have any problems reading and writing ntfs [23:11] well I had problems with wubi installation [23:11] i got a question. My volume speaker icon does not correspond to the actual master slider in the volume control. it controls a different sound card. what can be causing that [23:11] yup softdrink that was it, when i fluxbox from startx, if I type gnome-settings-daemon in terminal the fonts go all small and weird and the icons get messed up [23:11] it could not compy sam file [23:12] error was something like value too large for defined value [23:12] i had to add it to my startup [23:12] *copy [23:12] on my mac right now, so i don't have access to my fluxbox configs :( [23:12] ioka: ahh, I've never used wubi so I wouldn't know [23:12] softdrink, its like that messes it up [23:13] Zykotic: so backup ubuntu? i use wubi just fine [23:13] jussec [23:13] gilster you need to open up your sound preferences and choose the correct device for the volume control to correspond [23:15] NOC_monkey: i am pretty sure i did that already [23:15] is unetbootin reliable for making live usb with ubuntu under windows? maybe unetbootin is causing problems and that's why I can not install it from the usb === LeNsTR is now known as LeNsTR|Sleep [23:15] NOC_monkey: the volume control sliders are working. what happens is that the master volume slider under the speaker icon controls the master volume of a secondary soundcard not the one i am using. [23:16] gilster what are you using ASLA or pules [23:16] pulseaudio sorry [23:17] NOC_monkey: ALSA [23:17] NOC: I may just need to restart the volume control. [23:18] gilster I would start there if they are working and all devices are set correctly in the sound preferences . Let me know what happens after the re-start [23:18] hello all === jean is now known as Guest95072 [23:20] ioka: you're installing karmic right? #ubuntu+1 is the proper channel [23:20] NOC: just a restart thats it [23:20] fixed [23:21] kool [23:21] gilster, great!!!! [23:21] NOC_monkey: cheers [23:22] on a different note; is there any GUI integration for DVD-RAM discs [23:23] does anyone know of a way to utilize DVD-RAM discs in UDF format in ubuntu [23:23] running ubuntu 8.10 on amd64 would like to find an app to convert matroska video to mpeg any help ? [23:24] does anyone knows how to enable Intel Modem PCI 56K CTR-21 or Acer 56 surf USB?? [23:25] under Ubuntu 9.04?? [23:25] 64 bit? [23:25] :-D8.10 64 bit === desesperado is now known as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu [23:25] "save a tree burn a book" [23:25] Does anyone already upgraded to Karmic [23:26] joseantoniordlmc: #ubuntu+1 is for Karmic [23:26] fx4: you know it? which modem is better? [23:26] joseantoniordlmc, karmic works pretty well [23:26] NOC_monkey: you got any experience with DVD-RAM discvs [23:26] i alredy upgraded but i cannot install the desktop effects [23:26] tried the kde beta and the gnome beta karmic still a little buggy [23:27] has anyone here used DVD-RAM discs in ubuntu or any linux distro? [23:27] fx4: why a little buggy? [23:27] joseantoniordlmc, it's possible it's still being worked on, however at this point it should be working for most people [23:28] some of the security measures are still a little buggy [23:28] in kde 4 sure [23:28] i alredy installed the nvidia drivers & compiz manager [23:28] hi, I've installed ubuntu server and my sound card is not working can anyone recommend a solution? [23:28] fx4: which modem is better USB or pci? [23:29] Does anyone dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu 9.1? [23:29] aaroninfidel: whats the card? [23:29] does any remember DVD-RAM discs? UDF format? [23:29] i use pci noproblems here [23:29] fx4: facturer / model?? [23:29] chuck_phl: no, i will be in a few months though [23:30] motorola [23:30] surfbird [23:30] winterswift I've got no idea. its an office computer. do you know how I can check without opening up my box? [23:30] winterswift: I'm using the RC version, have been for awhile but having issues.. I have a feeling its pretty much the same procedure as vista tho.. just not having much luck [23:31] aaroninfidel: lspci will list your pci devices, including your sound card [23:31] aaroninfidel: are you running ubuntu or windows right now? [23:31] aaroninfidel: or are you not on that computer? [23:31] fx4: aha I have a Intel Modem PCI 56K CTR-21 and I run the scanModem file... [23:32] aaroninfidel: i would try fccf's suggestion [23:33] fx4: but I dont really get a high IQ for it [23:33] I'm trying to set up xbindkeys. How can I find out what the "key" of my mouse buttons is? [23:34] edbian: xev [23:35] jrib: Thanks! [23:35] fx4: should I send you the outputflie? [23:35] edbian: no problem [23:35] hello all. I'm having problems with mythvideo. After some updates, mythvideo was uninstalled, and I can no longer install mythvideo, it complains that python-imdbpy can't install because it needs python < 2.6 and 2.6.2 are installed [23:35] winterswift, I'm on the ubuntu server via mac with freenx === fahadsadah is now known as Guest12511 [23:37] fccf, where can I get lspci? [23:37] Is here anyone who can fix probs with modems?? [23:37] aaroninfidel: type lspci into a terminal .. that's an L by the way [23:37] <{Onyx}> Ok, this is going to sound stupid but I can't get email signing working with evolution. Created a key with passwords and encryption and that's working fine but if I select sign from security it says secret key not available. [23:37] Rumo: Yes [23:37] winterswift, the card I have is: Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) [23:38] WanHouse: Hi [23:38] Rumo: Hi [23:38] Rumo: well, i can try atleast [23:38] fccf, thank you. [23:38] aaroninfidel: appears to be built-in [23:38] Rumo: Its an oldstyle blingbleep modem ? [23:39] winterswift, even for ubuntu-server? [23:39] i have two modems: 1.) Intel Modem PCI 56K CTR-21 and 2.) Acer 56 Surf USB [23:39] aaroninfidel: no, i mean a builtin card [23:39] Rumo: Ok. [23:39] oh, so what does that mean? [23:39] aaroninfidel: on the board [23:39] winterswift, how can I configure it so I can get it to work. [23:39] WanHouse: I dont know which one is better (faster) [23:40] jrib: I'm having a little bit of trouble reading the output. I want to write an entry in my xbindkeys config file. Do I specify the key as "button 1" or whatever? These are on my mouse if I haven't already mentioned it. [23:40] aaroninfidel: do you have a gnome or KDE installed or are you using the terminal? [23:40] winterswift, gnome [23:40] Rumo: Both should be equally fast if the drivers are equally optimized [23:40] aaroninfidel: you problem may lie in the fact that you are running the server version.. your soundcard may not be compiled into the kernel module .. reccommend using the desktop live cd and see if sound works there ... another issue are VIA cards (some work, some just don't) [23:40] edbian: b:1 for button 1 on your mouse for exampble [23:41] -b [23:41] -b ? [23:41] "exampble" [23:41] WanHouse: ok but which one can be enabled in Ubuntu 9.04 64bit? [23:41] jrib: Lol. Thank you! [23:41] Rumo: Both ?

[23:42] !startup > edbian [23:42] edbian, please see my private message [23:42] edbian: just run xbindkeys [23:43] jrib: I don't need to make it re-read my config file or something?

I had to force the version for mythvideo, libmyth-python, and python-imdbpy to the jaunty versions. They were set to the intrepid versions for some reason.
