[00:33] hi - i want to limit a user's time on a ubuntu machine - is there a program for this? [00:34] It is in a Mac Pro.

[00:36] osotogari: I installed the restricted drivers, then used the Nvidia X servers setting in X [00:37] lax, it should have proprietary drivers not enabled and one thats recomended. you can click it and click enable [00:37] serp__: /usr/share/application-registry/gnome-vfs.applications seems interesting too [00:37] qweqweqwe: Yes, they really do. On the other hand, it looks more and more to me like the ATI drivers are rubbish. [00:37] @gnoshi: Ill give it a go [00:37] zaoul1: ok found what I neeed:) thanks [00:37] serp__: sure no problem.. which was it? [00:38] osotogari: There was one problem I had - it didn't work that well when using 'Right of' and 'Left of' for monitor positions; I set the positions manually.

[00:43] CavalierPrime: yup. Grabbed them and installed them. To be fair, it may be the software itself that I'm using... the issue is a weird refreshing problem, but it only shows up under the ATI, not nvidia [00:43] RanDom33, i think its enabled if its installed, so sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g [00:43] well, unless it is a problem for the Mac no matter what card - I haven't gotten the nvidia running on it yet.

[00:59] lax: sure it does, wubi basicaly places some filesystem images on your windows partition which contain the linux filesystems, on start the kernel mounts the windows filesystem and then from that mounts its filesystemimages [01:00] does anyone here have google-gadgets working in karmic? [01:00] is there a way to see if a certain app needs any dependencies on a clean install of ubuntu? === colosseum is now known as colosseum_sleep [01:00] kn100: if the app is installed so are the depends [01:00] kn100, you should be able to see them in synaptic [01:00] não [01:01] they do? nice. so far, ubuntu is <3 [01:01] kn100: in synaptics you should be able to right click and check the deps [01:01] kn100: depending what app it may require installation of other packages to increase functionality [01:01] IdleOne, aperson the issue is karmic has a wierd network-manager issue that I have reported, and the only way to fix it is to either connect with a CLI which I cant do because i'm stupid or install WICD, which i can get in .deb form, but i want to be sure there arent going to be any dependencies that will bite me in the ass later [01:02] I have a shiny new problem now - Ubuntu (which was booting fine, and using my ATI vid card) is no longer booting into X. Instead it is, from all appearances, hard freezing. [01:02] kn100: wicd is in the repos [01:02] sudo apt-get install wicd [01:02] or it should be but karmic is beta and may be missing some packages. try asking in #ubuntu+1 [01:03] gnoshi: hard freeze meaning you must hard reset? [01:03] gnoshi: incorrect driver [01:03] IdleOne, i know. but as i just said i have a network-manager issue in karmic, so i can't do that, so i need to get it in .deb form, hence the worrying about dependency issues [01:03] what is the best dock for ubuntu that does not need composoting (unless it can run under xcompmgr) [01:03] ethernet is not an option [01:04] zaoul1: yes. CavalierPrime: I deleted all driver entries from my xorg.conf. [01:04] kn100: packages.ubuntu.com has it and lists the depends also [01:04] ahhh [01:04] IdleOne, i will try that [01:04] gnoshi: all driver entires? [01:04] zaoul1: no luck, i still get black screens with Driver"radeon" [01:04] gnoshi: there should be a backup to your xorg.conf === Abracadabr4 is now known as Abracadabra [01:04] you want to see the log? remind me where it was [01:04] same directory [01:04] log`: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:05] kn100, you can configure your internet connection manually [01:05] zaoul1: Sorry, I mean all the oddball ones (fglxwhatever, nvidia, etc). Now it just has Driver "vesa" [01:05] kn100, what? [01:05] kn100, did you mean to direct that at me also? [01:05] Sitowlan, i know, but its WPA and connecting to a WPA network with a CLI is a pain in the ass [01:05] CavalierPrime: I rebuilt the xorg.conf using the recovery tool (which was working ok before, but not now it appears). Still happening after I pulled out the nvidia card, too. [01:05] aperson, erm probably not [01:06] okay so all of my keyboard shortcuts aren't working [01:06] aperson, i meant someone else, sorry [01:06] could anyone post the /etc/network/interfaces default settings for 8.04? [01:06] except for the Volume Up/Down keys and Gnome-Do [01:06] kn100, no worries [01:06] Ok I have dual monitors working but, i can not mouse over to my second screen, I am using seperate X screen and Xinerama enabled. [01:06] osotogari: You want to use twinview, not Xinerama. [01:06] zaoul1: http://pastebin.com/f418707fb [01:06] @ gnoshi: Ok ill change it [01:06] osotogari: (at least that's what I use, because I found xinerama had that effect) [01:07] IdleOne, that shows the deps (http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/wicd) but it doesnt tell me whether they are installed with ubuntu itself [01:07] has anyone got a windows 7 guest on virtualbox to work with sound? [01:07] For all people with XORG problems, to troubleshoot you will need 1. card type (lspci) 2. /var/log/Xorg.0.log 3 /var/log/xorg.conf 4. what happened before it broke. [01:07] i guess we're there now :) [01:07] I'm in a catch 22 w/ rsnapshot: the target is nfs mounted. I can write there as myself, but not as root on the machine initiating rsnapshot. On the other hand, rsnapshot needs to run as root for writing its pid to /var/run. Am I missing something? [01:07] kn100: apt-cache policy packagename will tell you [01:07] brb [01:08] IdleOne, what does this tell me? [01:08] log`: ok so we got the radeon driver in, you just sent me the xorg.log after startx, and you have darkness? [01:08] correct. [01:08] kn100: ex: apt-cache policy libblahblah will return info about the package and if it is installed [01:09] IdleOne, ahh, so i can check the deps [01:09] kn100: yes [01:09] i still haven't removed the fglrx package.. maybe if i remove it and reinstall the ati-radeon [01:09] but since i have wicd installed currently, the deps would be installed with it [01:09] @ gnoshi: It works!! [01:09] indeed [01:09] log`: one more thing before I look at the log, .. what is the output of ps -A | grep Xorg ? [01:09] IdleOne, hmnn [01:09] Very cool! [01:09] assuming the Xorg.0.log is always the most recent one. [01:09] log`: it is [01:09] kn100: they should be, but you are running beta os so..... [01:10] let me get that for you [01:10] IdleOne, i always run the bets [01:10] betas [01:10] gnoshi: you need to copy you xorg.conf.whatever to xorg.conf and that will get you back to what you had b4 [01:10] gnoshi: it's in /etc/X11 [01:10] kn100: join #ubuntu+1 please for karmic support [01:11] CavalierPrime: Tried that and it didn't seem to work - I'll give it another shot (I have several backups). [01:11] IdleOne, the question is not just for karmic [01:11] I have a usb soundcard based on the cm106 chipset that sorta works under oss, i'd like to be able to get it to work under alsa if that's possible, can someone help? [01:11] IdleOne, hence why i came here [01:11] gnoshi: if you did a lot of messing around with drivers it may take a while to find the right one [01:11] kn100: ok so what depends do you think are missing? [01:11] zaoul1: it's empty [01:12] ps -A | grep Xorg/xorg/org returns nothing [01:12] log`: good... how many connections are on your video card? [01:12] IdleOne, here is my issue [01:12] 2? [01:12] how can i see if i am using UXA_ [01:12] ? [01:12] Hey guys. I need some help, apparently my wireless drivers are no longer working (Intel WiFi Link 5100) on my laptop. Could anyone help with diagnosing what may be the issue? [01:12] CavalierPrime: it is possible to revert to a 'default' xorg file though, right? the one that Ubuntu would have installed with? [01:12] this is a laptop so there is a built in monitor and a VGA connector hooked up to an external LCD monitor [01:13] CavalierPrime: ah, here we go. I reinstalled the ATI binary driver from shell and it booted again. [01:13] i want to test uxa [01:13] IdleOne, never mind, i just checked each dep, they are all installed as default [01:13] gnoshi: good good [01:13] Idhan, thanks for the help [01:13] kn100: sure thing [01:13] IdleOne i meant, sorry Idhan [01:13] log`: i see. hold on [01:14] CavalierPrime: and now I'm taking a backup of the xorg.conf before I go trying to readd the nvidia card again :P [01:14] haha [01:14] Hi, I was wondering hwo could i fix VERY Low microphone levels on ubuntu [01:14] zaoul1: thanks for looking [01:14] Alamn, sudo apt-get install pavucontrol [01:14] log`: so what is the inteded output? on the laptop screen, the lcd? extended? clone? [01:14] intended [01:14] well anything [01:15] Alamn, then check sound + video > pulseaudio volume control [01:15] log`: is the external lcd still connected? [01:15] folks, when using the daily build iso for karmic, can i update to the final release when it comes out? [01:15] Alamn, then click input devices [01:15] as long as i can start x i can usually set it up from the display settings [01:15] it is. [01:15] log`: unplug it and reboot [01:15] kn100: ok i will try that, thanks [01:15] anyone know how i can make x11 use UXA? [01:16] before it wao use both monitors [01:16] was set up* [01:16] Alamn, sure thing [01:16] but not clone, extended desktop kinda [01:16] log`: I understand, lets get you out of console asap right? [01:16] but the external was my primary cause it' [01:16] well, the upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 failed [01:16] s on the left [01:17] ok its unplugged let me try and reboot [01:17] hello guys!

How do I relaunch it? [01:18] hello [01:18] @ KennyH: Which dock? [01:18] how do i know my glibc version [01:18] osotogari, the dock with controls the opened applications at buttom. [01:19] everything i do my system will crash if i run firefox it will freeze and crash what could cause this [01:19] hi everybody! [01:20] brian: you do a memtest on it yet? [01:20] @ kennyH: right click the top panel and click new panel, set its orientation to bottom [01:20] hi, my ethernet card does noet show upe? (atheros 81) [01:20] Right: Putting the nvidia card in again. Actually, I'm gonna try with ONLY the nvidia card but being a macpro, I doubt it will boot. [01:21] no [01:21] i have some problems with the network manager in Xubuntu [01:21] osotogari: how'd it go? [01:21] brian_: run the memtest on the grub menu for starters [01:21] gnoshi, it does not like SLI, try it with only 1 graphics card, and it should work [01:21] osotogari, ok, it worked, and how could I add the multiple screen controler I may have excluded ? [01:22] is there a non-mysql-dependent version of the apache2 package somewhere? I want postgres, not mysql, yet apt insists on pulling mysql in along with apache2... [01:22] @gnoshi: its working like a dream, xchat and mplayer open in my left screen, firefox in my right [01:22] @ kennyH: that i dont know, sorry [01:22] actually, the culprit is libaprutil1, which apache2 depends on [01:22] how do i install opengl 2.0 [01:22] osotogari: good to hear =) [01:23] In Keyboard Shortcuts, is it possible to have multiple bindings for one action? [01:23] @ gnoshi: I assume this will degrade gracefully when i dont have my second screen plugged in? [01:23] zaoul1: external monitor unplugged, no luck. but this time the screen went from being turned off totally to being turned on but all black a few times.. then it stayed on and was all black [01:23] osotogari, ok, thank you! [01:24] Could someone help me to add the spaces switcher on my dock please ? [01:24] Can anyone help me with my network issues? My wireless and wired drivers don't seem to want to work. :x [01:24] @ kennyH: sorry, i misunderstood, right click the new panel and select add to panel [01:24] osotogari: did for me.

I had ubuntu installed on an external machine and was switching between two machines, each with a different nvidia card (both quadro, but diff model) and both with 2 screens and it handled that pretty well to. [01:25] should it be capitalized like Mode ? [01:26] Alan__, then I don't know what to say :( [01:26] Hola, alguien que hable español? I have some problems with my poor english!

However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [01:39] lomez: yeah you ahve to change the permissions on the files to delete them [01:39] Xoop: I guess you could apt-get drupal or phpmyadmin... and it would pull in all the deps [01:39] okay im going to try that [01:39] CavalierPrime, i tried chmod but that was the error it gave me [01:40] hey everybody [01:40] sup [01:40] lomez: make sure you sudo the chmod or it won't work [01:40] does anybody know if Windows 7 and GRUB conflict if Win 7 is installed before ? [01:40] Hello everyone. It's a GNOME question but no one ever answers there: I installed icon-naming-utils in order to use some pre-2.2 themes, but I don't know how to use it. I killed and restarted nautilus to no avail. The README in /usr/share/doc is not useful. What now? [01:41] <|Mike|> Hi. [01:41] does anyone have anything better than nautilus as a file manger? I am looking for something with two panels [01:41] whocares: that is generally the way you want to, you should install windows first. If not then windows would blast away grub [01:41] ah good idea CavalierPrime but it's giving me the same error [01:41] zaoul1: I know [01:42] but I mean if GRUB loads NTLDR correctly as Win 7 is rather new and Microsoft might have changed something about the NTLDR (?), too [01:42] ostogari: xnc [01:42] whocares: as long as you don [01:42] hey when im trying to install ati drivers i get this: Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version can anyone help me? [01:42] I'm looking for a dock to use in Ubuntu that I can put on the left or right-hand side of my screen, rather than on the bottom. Any suggestions? [01:43] arielCo: ? [01:43] I guess, I got only a part of your message... [01:43] traskbryant: you are using the default window manager, gnome? [01:43] @ traskbryant: you can set the orientation of a panel to left and right [01:43] Does anyone know any bugs about installing Ubuntu on a flash drive? [01:43] whocares: sorry, typo. As long as you don't install GRUB on the partition (boot record), you should be able to "chainload" onto it. [01:43] traskbryant: right click on the panel. properties => set the left or right side [01:43] zaoul1, osotogari, sorry, I mean a launch bar (such as Gnome Do's Docky). [01:44] whocares: in other words, install on /dev/sda, not /dev/sda2 (for example) [01:44] arielCo: I guess this is a misunderstanding, I don't wanna know if NTLDR is able to chainload GRUB but vice-versa ;) [01:44] @ traskbryant: sorry i dont know about launch bars :( [01:44] whocares: call microsoft ;-D [01:45] I guess they won't answer the question ;o [01:45] :D [01:45] whocares: I know. When you chainload, you don't load NTLDR but actually the boot record for the partition [01:45] CavalierPrime: I may have found one of my problems... When I used the 'hardware drivers' ubuntu thing to install the nvidia drivers after installing the ATI drivers, in the xorg.conf file it put in the PCI address of the card already in there (the ATI) with the nvidia driver... [01:45] CavalierPrime: just fixing that now and see how it goes. [01:45] whocares: the boot record will take care of finding NTLDR [01:45] k [01:46] whocares: just don't pick a partition - you must put GRUB on the MBR [01:46] anybody knows how well the HD 4200 integrated graphics processor performs with Ubuntu ? [01:46] (possibly someone tried it already) [01:46] arielCo, k I'll do that [01:47] whocares: luck [01:47] even if it prevents me from crypting my Windows partition with TrueCrypt :D [01:47] why i cant connect the internet with guest user?

[01:58] whocares: hmmm, I think - 2.0 GHz [01:58] can some1 here send me the gedit.desktop? I mistakenly removed it from /usr/share/applications and even reinstall the gedit with aptitude doesn't help. Please help [01:58] log`: awesome! the reconfig command worked? [01:58] but when i open display under preferences it doesn't recognize the built in monitor like it used to.. i can't set the full resolution [01:58] maybe I should try it out [01:58] hi [01:58] it worked in part. [01:58] how long would it take with a Quad-Core Athlon II X4 @ 3.25 GHz :D ? [01:58] sebsebseb: heya [01:58] mojo_: try dpkg --configure gedit [01:58] i am wanting to remove grub and restore the boot loader to windows how do i do this [01:59] should be possible even faster :> [01:59] mojo_: anyway, try to run it from a terminal [01:59] whocares: speeds of installs generally are bottlenecked by the hard disk :-/ [01:59] whocares: I suspect I could, and indeed booting is I/O-bound at times [01:59] anyone having HDD heat problem in Notepad with Ubuntu??

[02:00] lwizardl, you don't need to remove grub first - just reinstall Windows MBR and that will remove grub in the process. ask the question in ##windows [02:00] whocares: good point also [02:01] it took out the Driver parameter [02:01] maybe i should put that back in [02:01] lwizardl:if you have the Windows CD, it's easy enough [02:01] using USB to install should be a lot faster [02:01] whocares: almost makes me want to get a external 2.5 now [02:01] lol [02:01] lwizardl:even a boot floppy will do [02:01] for what? [02:01] ok thanks [02:01] whocares: some how install off of it [02:01] why don't you use an USB Stick?

[02:17] zaoul1, whocares Bluey i think this would be better in #ubuntu-offtopic -- #ubuntu is only for support issues - not chatting really. [02:17] I have never built a intel system for my personal self, and its annoying [02:18] let's continue this at #ubuntu-offtopic [02:18] k? [02:18] ZykoticK9: srsly? ive been in here for the past 5 hours with support [02:18] sure [02:18] and 5 mins of chat someone wants to rant [02:18] zaoul1: and that is how we like to keep it. support here and chat in -offtopic [02:18] stop the bureaucratic madness [02:19] if everybody chats for 5 minutes support gets lost [02:19] I'm thinking about making my own distribution software for computer games. I'd call it "jasper Steam", and you'd only be able to LOOK at games - you wouldn't be able to play them. For that you'd need a plugin.

This is perfect world scenario of course ;) [02:22] anks ill tryth [02:22] thanks [02:23] How do I save settings in Compiz? Should I add a profile first then make my settings OR make my settings first then add a profile? I did some tests for both methods but I always lose my settings. Please help. Thanks! [02:24] bhagbir: you can also try this http://penkin.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/ubuntu-804-broadcom-wireless/ [02:25] does anyone have a solution for low mic levels on an integrated mic? [02:25] alan_: try the diff drivers for sound, oss, alsa, pulse [02:26] mo0nykit, something that always ticked me off is if i switch compiz off from System / Preferences / Appearance - then turned it back on - all the settings where lots :( check out fusion-icon, which adds a compiz desktop icon - it saves my settings for on/off - perhaps it could help you as well. best of luck. [02:26] alan_: just open your volume control and click on preferences and change your device === gnoshi is now known as gnoshi_away [02:27] thanks for the tip ZykoticK9 [02:27] In Ubuntu 9.10 how do I kill the X server Control-Alt Backspace does not seem to work. Thnaks [02:27] does anyone have a solution for low mic levels on an integrated mic? [02:28] ubuntu2234, ctrl+printscreen+k or alt+printscreen+k [02:28] Alan_: try the diff drivers for sound, oss, alsa, pulse [02:28] anyone know if they fixed the "launching http cache cleaner" annoyance caused by running kde apps under gnome? [02:28] alan I have run into this problem with SuSE. To solve I logged in asroot and adjusted the alsa mixer [02:28] hi [02:28] hi [02:28] hi [02:28] thanks ZykoticK9 [02:28] hi [02:28] ubuntu2234, root login is not used in Ubuntu [02:28] sudo su - [02:29] passwd: **** [02:29] you can install sux i think [02:29] passwd [02:29] is there a way to go back to the command line when ubuntu freezes? [02:29] enter password [02:29] hi all... anyone have any experience setting up a Diku mud on Ubuntu? [02:29] exit [02:29] su - [02:29] CavalierPrime: do i just download them from sypnatics? [02:29] steven_: ctrl alt f1 ? :f [02:29] how do I identify myself to nickserve to join a channel? [02:29] passwd: **** [02:29] steven_: ctrl+alt+f1 should get you to console [02:29] ubuntu2234, you're missing the point (it can be done!) but ubuntu is designed around the basis that you shouldn't Need too... [02:29] steven_: Ctrl + Alt + F7 [02:29] Or F1 [02:29] cool [02:29] Alan_: just open your volume control and click on preferences and change your device [02:30] marsha: you need an ident server hang on just a sec [02:30] how to mount iso file [02:30] also, i heard the shortcut to restart x is ctrl-alt-backspace [02:30] however when I use it ubuntu freezes [02:30] CavalierPrime: i onnly have a "Master device" [02:30] steven_: it is disabled in >9.04 [02:30] !iso | mankash [02:30] That's the correct shortcut, steven_. [02:30] mankash: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [02:30] marsha: this is what you need: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=115 [02:30] !dontzap | steven_ [02:30] steven_: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [02:30] anyone have any experience installing Diku (or any other MUD) on Ubuntu? [02:31] yes I'm familiar with those shortcuts [02:31] Alan_: dunno, prob need to go to ubuntu docs [02:31] they work for me [02:31] but the screen just goes black [02:31] is it supposed to bring back the login screen? [02:31] steven_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:31] That's the idea, yes.

[02:32] hi all. my friend downloaded a livecd in an attempt to fsck her broken ntfs partition. Unfortunately, the livecd doesn't come with ntfsprogs. any suggestions? [02:32] steven_: it will give you console access unless the machine is locked up... [02:32] gnome commander [02:32] dolphin <: [02:32] steven_, ctrl+alt+backspace has been X's restart - forever... but now X has changed it - so it's not simply affected Ubuntu [02:32] is there a decent colecovision emulator for ubuntu 9.04? [02:32] marsha: I wouldn't know - but sometimes they need it.... [02:32] sorry about that. Alt+SysRq+K doesn't bring me back to the login screen. When I use it, I'm unable to even toggle the num key and caps lock. Is this normal? [02:32] marsha: this makes 'em happy - -I had to do this in order to get onto efnet [02:32] I just wanted python advice.... [02:32] ZykoticK9: when did it change?

[02:48] canthus13: Oh, I mean sign in to my desktop [02:48] so I give up [02:48] I just installed fusion-icon and I want it to start every time [02:48] mo0nykit: System > Administration > Startup Manager [02:48] ZykoticK9, oh sorry for the confusion that was just a canned answer on google, my find is /lib/modules// -type f -iname '*.ko' for all modules but im stying trying to understand how to use sed to cut out base name [02:48] my computer keeps freezing when I try to test my external sound card. Why is this happening? :( [02:48] Or, more importantly, how do I fix it? [02:49] What syntax do I use with tftp to reference a file on my hardrive that I am sending to my router? I am using ">put dd-wrt.blahblah,extension" What folder should that file be in because it keeps telling me it doesn't exist [02:49] mo0nykit: are you using gnome? the to autostart a program use gnome-sessions [02:49] Actually i have a relevant question, which inst infected by silliness. Im at a point where i would like to mess with the kernel aso. can anyone recommend some literature for "beginning kernel messing"? [02:49] fokuslee302, best of luck to you - sed is one of the more difficult commands to use/master lilzeus: odd. Something might have happened to your card itself. Debian won't help in that case. [02:49] How to force one layout (columns, grouping by thread and so on) for all folders in all accounts? [02:50] in evolution* :) [02:50] networking works fine in LiveCD, but won't on the installed OS [02:50] canthus13: thanks. I'm looking for something like .bashrc. Is there something like that for the desktop? [02:50] kristofferg_: you mean rolling your own or 'compiling' your own? [02:50] jats: not the card, its onboard and I even tried an extra linksys I had laying around...nothing changed [02:50] !kernel | kristofferg_ [02:50] kristofferg_: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [02:50] mo0nykit: Hmm. Probably. I would imagine that StartUp manager is proabably a frontend for it. [02:51] so is everyone a programmer? [02:51] canthus13: Oh. I thought .bashrc is only for when you start a terminal... [02:51] anyone know the package thats responsible for system clock? [02:51] i guess it's somewhere in gconf :f === asad is now known as Guest60430 [02:51] jats: eth0 shows that it has an IP, but my router does not show it gave it one. Also, when I try to navigate to the router(192.168.1.1) from the problem system, it displays my Apache's default page "It works!" [02:52] u sure its the right ip? [02:52] canthus13: I think I'll just use Startup Applications [02:52] is there a way to test my external sound card from the command line, so there'd be a better way to kill it when/if it freezes? [02:52] try ifconfig [02:52] mo0nykit: Err. NM. Not startup manager. Damn. I know I've set up a few programs to start on login, but I can't remember what. [02:52] brian1, this is a question for #ubuntu-offtopic - but i'm not [02:52] jats: compiling i suppose. I suppose bootstrapping is a good way to learn. ^^ [02:52] mo0nykit: That's what I'm thinking of. :) [02:52] are you using dhcpclient? [02:52] jats: in fact, every address which starts with 192.168.1 returns a ping and in the browser it displays the same Apache default page [02:53] jats: try ifconfig [02:53] mo0nykit: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-add-a-program-to-the-ubuntu-startup-list-after-login/ [02:53] * canthus13 hugs google. [02:53] can somebody help me real quick i need to get in administrator mode how do i do it [02:53] kristofferg_: rolling your own = compiling. I meant or as in 'or as some call it'. [02:53] what do you want me to show you from ifconfig? [02:54] it looks normal [02:54] says eth0 has address 192.168.1.5 [02:54] but my router does not show that [02:54] mo0nykit, canthus13, it's actually been updated in 9.04 to System / Preferences / Startup Applications ( and looks better too ) [02:54] Guest60430: Reboot, escape to get the grub menu, then select recovery mode. [02:54] canthus13: thanks for the link. I think in Jaunty it's no longer called gnome-sessions. It's System > Preferences > Startup Applications IMHO [02:54] k then what [02:55] ZykoticK9: Oh there you typed it first :P [02:55] lilzeus: if you've tried this before don't do it again, but you could try "dhclient eth0" [02:55] ZykoticK9: Oh. I'm still using hardy. I forget there's those new-fangled short-term support releases. :) [02:55] ZykoticK9: can you try this one too? http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid42408842001?bclid=42465993001&bctid=44088394001 [02:55] jats: I have tried that [02:55] amdFANBOY,Agenda CNN Video working [02:55] - canthus13 - what do i do after i go into recovery [02:56] Guest60430: What are you trying to do? [02:56] canthus13: off to try out the startup thing :) [02:56] Hey guy's trying to install 9.04 and it's freezing on the spalsh screen after I hit install or Try without changes [02:56] for some reason, every single 192.168.1 address, all of them, loops back to localhost [02:56] actually, when I've tried dhclient, it's never worked for me personally. [02:56] and I can't figure out why [02:56] try 'sudo route' [02:56] I have [02:56] you want to see it? [02:56] ZykoticK9: thanks, i installed that package, and it still doesnt work, restarted firefox, maybe i should restart ubuntu? [02:56] Hi all, [02:56] why not? [02:57] Hi all, [02:57] jats: ah ok. Not really into the jargon. Have been messing with ubuntu for some years now. Want to take a deeper dive and get a feeling of whats what beyond the basic config files so. [02:57] canthus13: looking good. thanks! [02:57] cathus13 - install ati catalyst for my graphics but i need to be an administrator or go into administrator mode [02:57] amdFANBOY, try "killall -9 firefox" in a terminal then restart firefox [02:57] mo0nykit: No prob. [02:57] Thanks in advance for your help. I cant get my SANE scanner driver to work on my Epson printer. [02:58] kristofferg_: I've always wanted to learn kernel configuration myself, but don't have the time. Learning the shell is a higher priority on my "linux skills to learn list". [02:58] Guest60430: You don't have administrator access? [02:58] !test [02:58] yes, I'm alive. [02:58] Guest60430: Which drivers are you installing? [02:58] ZykoticK9: no dice [02:58] !test [02:59] jats: http://pastebin.com/m22c65cfc [02:59] ZykoticK9: doesnt work [02:59] yourfinancialguy, have you tested "gksudo xsane" in a terminal - and agree to continue at own risk? does it see you scanner? [02:59] My video (FLASH) becomes choppy when it goes full screen. [02:59] amdFANBOY, dunno then - works for me? [02:59] kristofferg_: are you familiar with nLite (for Windows)? I dived into learning kernel configuration because I wanted to do the same thing in Linux [03:00] - i do have administrator access which is confusing i can get into synaptic and everything [03:00] Im a major newbie. How do I test at the Terminal? I agree to continue at my own risk. [03:00] yourfinancialguy, have you also verified the statis of you epson printer on the sane page db? [03:00] The printer isnt found when I look for it with SANE. [03:00] yourfinancialguy, the "continue at your own risk" will come up when you start xsane with gksudo [03:00] kristofferg_: as for bootstrapping, i think it's related to the initrd [03:01] I have also done netstat -l and uname -a in both LiveCD(which works) and the defunked system [03:01] to compare [03:01] yourfinancialguy: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/basic-commands/C/ [03:01] ZykoticK9. Ok, I see what your saying. Let me test it. [03:01] yourfinancialguy, application / accessories / terminal then type in gksudo xsane [03:01] - and i have radeon x200 trying to get better graphics or something cuz i cant run this game i could before i reinstalled ubuntu [03:01] Can anyone please help me troubleshoot my installation problem...trying to swtich from windows and once i've booted the CD I hit install and the ubuntu splash screen comes up and shortly after the computer freezes [03:02] I have a geforce 2 card and can't get compiz working. What am I doing wrong? [03:02] goosetov your on a pc? [03:02] What is some software you cant live without? [03:02] I don't know how important 'metric' is, but I believe that it shouldn't be set to 0. [03:02] laptop...kinda - dell xps m2010 [03:02] cody_, ask same question in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:02] goosetov: try closing some useless apps [03:02] ZykoticK9: Okay [03:03] i'm using the boot cd...no apps running [03:03] jats: do you want to compare that to the results of the same thing from LiveCD, which works? [03:04] Brian1 and/or Zykotic... device not found is the report when I run the xsane at Terminal [03:04] it also freezes if i try to boot ubuntu directly from the cd [03:04] lilzeus: I'm comparing it with my own and I have no metric=0 entries, nor any lo entries at all. [03:04] Ubuntu is sane? [03:04] jats: http://pastebin.com/daad3999 [03:04] yourfinancialguy, is your device on the sane supported list? [03:04] Guest60430: Hmm. Not sure, really. [03:04] Guest60430: Which version are you using? [03:05] I beleive so. It was working before when I loaded the drivers. But I beleive it was erased when I did a virus cleaning. [03:05] this website formats a USB stick as a zip drive: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/booting-linux-from-usb-zip-on-older-systems/ [03:05] Does anyone know if it's possible to reverse the process? [03:05] phobos, are you sure you have restricted drivers installed? [03:05] goosetov: did you try simply installing it from windows? [03:05] lilzeus: I at kind of a loss. what have you tried? [03:06] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDHJ4ztnldQ [03:06] everything I have been told to...lol [03:06] anyone here know python? [03:06] dirt, It keeps telling me that my card is in the supported list. I just downloaded the 190.xx drivers [03:06] marsha_: what's the question? [03:06] marsha: why? [03:06] brian1: no I haven't, do I use WUBI ? [03:06] lilzeus: how about pinging websites or just your router. [03:06] website = fail [03:06] goosetov [03:07] goosetov: ya [03:07] phobos, I think geforce2 uses legacy drivers. [03:07] isn't* [03:07] brian1 I'm trying to write a script in autokey to do a serach in abiword [03:07] as I said, every address with 192.168.1.xxx appears to loop back to localhost...so 192.168.1.1 returns [03:07] durt: driversguide isn't listing a legacy driver [03:07] Goosetov: you cant try wubi, but I don't know that it'll work if the CD doesn't. Not sure what kind of hardware detection the WUBI installer does. Perhaps someone else knows? [03:08] can anyone provide a link to the supported scanner site? [03:08] phobos, check the readme on the nvidia website for the appropriate driver version [03:08] goosetov: you have windows right? just download wubi and run directly on it === nils- is now known as nils_ [03:08] goosetov: open with daemontool or some other iso file. [03:08] software* [03:09] canthus13 - so do u know what i have to type in the terminal to access administrator mode [03:09] who's using tux guitar in here? [03:09] durt: ok. I have another question... I typed in regedit in the terminal because I wanted to make some changes, but it keeps coming back command not found. Do I need to download something for it? [03:09] lilzeus, when you Ping something on the first line is the TO address and the rest show FROM [03:09] goosetov: after download it, it toke me 30 seconds to install. [03:09] Guest60430: Preface whatever command you're using with sudo [03:09] Guest60430: It will then ask you for your password, and run the command as administrator. [03:10] lilzeus: not sure if this will work: sudo route del default dev lo. Try ZykoticK9's suggestion first. [03:10] i was accessing my psp through USB cable and deleted a few files. These files went to "trash" on the memory stick. How can i just delete this "trash" and disable trash fature for removable disks? [03:10] canthus - im installing it with wine tho not terminal [03:10] mo0nykit the image files at / and in boot? Btw the link you sent me werent that informative ^^ [03:10] Guest60430: Err... You can't install video drivers in wine, can you? [03:11] ZykoticK9: I am using Network Tools [03:11] alright i'm doing it now...will see what happens [03:11] hey all trying to mount a ext2 fs and it says its to small or something in dmesg .. any ideas ? [03:11] Phobos: linux doesn't have a registry per se, therefore no regedit. There is a program that is like it for Linux systems, however. Can't remember the name. [03:11] MrPiracy, clearing the Trash from USB type devices happens when you umount the drive in ubuntu - this only happens at certain types of unmounts as well - i know of no way to disable it [03:11] phobos: no regedit in ubuntu unless you're using it in wine [03:11] phobos, geforce2 needs 96.x drivers........regedit???? [03:11] who's using tux guitar in here? [03:12] macman_: it's too small? The kernel is probably just setting up for a "that's what she said"-joke. Paste the actual error message [03:12] phobos: although gnome does have gconf which is similar [03:12] jats: i suppose shell should be more important. phew, to much i want to learn in general. [03:12] GOOD NIGHT ALL [03:12] when i do a mount -t ext2 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/folder it says bad fs .. when i do a fdisk -l it says the filesystem is linux [03:12] canthus13 - well it opened up wizard but i guess i'll try with just linux [03:12] ZykoticK9: all 192.168.1.xxx address return a ping in 0.05ms [03:12] ZykoticK9: well, i switched back into windows now and i can see the .Trash folder. Isn't there a way to just delete it and restore disk space? [03:12] krisofferg_: probably, but the reason I'm doing it is that is where my curiosity lies. [03:13] wine has regedit binary <: [03:13] Guest60430: I've never had to install windows drivers for wine. [03:13] ZykoticK9: the files i deleted from ubuntu didn't free any space on the memory stick [03:13] skoef_: do a revdep-rebuild [03:13] kristofferg_: yeah i also think it isn't very informative for someone who's still beginning with kernel "messing". You mentioned you want to compile your own. there are lots of HOWTOs in the forums. I wrote one myself [03:13] jats & mo0nykit: what are you backgrounds? [03:13] Hi, I am creating a bash script that will install files and requires sudo. How do i make it so it asks for the sudo password instead of just saying they need to? [03:13] MrPiracy, not that i'm aware of - if you manually unmount the drive in nautilus it will sometimes ask "do you want to empty the trash" and if you say yes it will free the space [03:14] cody_, the channel you are looking for is #bash === Random832__ is now known as Random832 [03:14] foxtrotniner: Okay, real quick question though, how do i quit a channel in irssi? [03:14] i have a weird bug im trying to install a java thing but when it says hit y to install n to abort if i hit y it will abort [03:14] cody_: /part [03:14] kristofferg_: what do you mean? I'm not a CS major, but yeah, the community helps out a lot :) [03:15] canthus13 - well i dont kno what to install then cuz fglrx messes my graphics up and when i reboot it takes me to a black screen so i have to uninstall that [03:15] if I install inside windows will it be possible to remove windows and still keep ubuntu ? maybe a dumb question [03:15] krisofferg_: education, computer experience, ancestry? I've been using linux for about 1 year on my main computer. Probably around 3 years on old, cheap systems I having for experimenting? [03:15] goosetov: you want to remove windows? [03:15] Goosetov, no and if windows crashes you loose ubuntu as well - it's MUCH better to use partitioning [03:15] ZykoticK9: wwell, i unmounted it and nothing happened. Pluged it back in and the space left was still the same (as if had not deleted the files). I guess i will have to format the stick and start it all over again being careful not to have to delete anything from ubuntu. [03:16] Looking for some help, how would I share my wireless connection (wlan0) to my ethernet (eth0)? [03:16] Guest60430: Have you read this thread yet? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1137467 [03:16] !ics | insomnia- [03:16] insomnia-: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [03:16] MrPiracy, remount it then browse to the mount point in nautilus (file manager) right click and unmount - you might get the question then [03:16] My friend got a dell xps 430 and is now trying to install ubuntu but keeps getting errors during installing when copying files. Is this likely a hard disk or memory issue? [03:16] canthus13 - the game is also for linux too but when i open it up it shows up on the panel at the bottom then disappears [03:17] hmm I guess i'll see how this install goes first ...I've already been at this for a few hours and i'm getting a little annoyed [03:17] He said vista was freezing on him for no reason as well [03:17] goosetov: just download wubi [03:17] egaudet: what is the error? [03:17] durt, I've used that way. It completely disables the internet on this machine. (cause: ipmasq) [03:17] ZykoticK9: hehe, i think its too late now ... just said ok for reformating ;) [03:17] ZykoticK9: anyways, thx for the help. Now, ill spend another hour to get it the way it was before. [03:18] mo0nykit: okay :) , im a cs student and have ambitions in the direction of security. So i figured, a dive into linux wouldnt hurt. So looking for recommendations for a good place to start understanding the lower levels of linux. [03:18] Goosetov: you can remove windows and keep ubuntu only if you move Ubuntu to its own partition first. Basically you backup your system, make a new partition for ubuntu, and finally use lvpm to move ubuntu to the partition. [03:18] brian1, error that the file copied doesn't match and then finally an input/output error 5 [03:19] egaudet: can you give me the the entire error? [03:19] insomnia-, then the only other thing I can suggest is investing some time to get to know iptables, and use a custom script, I personally love arnos-iptables-firewall from the repos [03:19] Guest60430: Apparently, there are issues with x200 and jaunty. [03:19] canthus13 - should i switch to intrepid [03:19] I will get the exact error in a moment. [03:19] Okay. I'll look into it. If all fails, I have to rewire my entire network, or move another computer to the new destination. [03:20] egaudet: i will wait [03:20] Guest60430: That may fix it. [03:20] ok So I got an error while trying to install via wubi [03:20] Exception: Cannot download the metalink and therefore the ISO [03:20] 10-17 20:18 DEBUG TaskList: # Cancelling tasklist [03:20] 10-17 20:18 DEBUG TaskList: # Finished tasklist [03:20] Goosetov: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:21] canthus13 - ok do u remember the code to get to that page where u just replace the words [03:21] kristofferg_: that nice. yeah, the linux kernel is a wild world. have you tried getting the kernel sources? By the time you do a "make menuconfig", you'll get an idea of what the kernel is made of ^^ [03:21] One thing to also note is that he had success installing ubuntu 8.10 from a cd I had sent him, but got freezing issues trying to update and upgrade. He's booting off the usb key now, so I'm waiting on that [03:22] mo0nykit: And no, dont know nLite. The most "messing" ive done so far was dos tweaking as a kid. Phew i used to many hours tweaking memory and stuff. Until that damn windows 95 appeared. Was so damn unstable i found other hobbies. [03:22] the usb key now drops him to (initramfs) [03:22] everyone: please try googling your errors [03:22] mo0nykit: suppose compiling "something" is a logical first step yeah [03:23] Guest60430: I'm not quite sure what you're referring to.... [03:23] here is the full log http://paste.ubuntu.com/295840/ [03:23] kristofferg_: here's my HOWTO if you'd like some starting point http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1286748 [03:24] hm. /etc/hostname should not contain a fqdn, correct? [03:24] you type something like sudo this or that and text editor comes up and u just replace jaunty with intrepid and save it i did it before i guess i'll have to search for it [03:24] goosetov: try http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090624131023AA3oa0f [03:25] kristofferg_: I myself didn't have a "formal" starting point when learning about the kernel. Just putting together snippets of info here and there, as some pages are quite outdated, or doesn't exactly work for me verbatim [03:25] what is the command to remove a package from unbunto [03:25] Sudo apt-remove packagename [03:26] XStatik: sudo apt-get remove [03:26] mo0nykit: i see. :). [03:27] brian1 : did you look at the answer ...kinda looks like malware [03:27] It said it couldnt find the package [03:27] does anyone know how to get tty on one screen and x on another on a dual-monitor setup? [03:27] i don't think you can do that - which one would the keyboard control? [03:27] just use a full screen terminal [03:27] canthus13 - found it its gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [03:27] i'm p sure i've seen my friend have a setup like that [03:28] i doubt it [03:28] probably just a maximized or fullscreen gnome-terminal [03:28] i might be wrong [03:29] you can get gnome-terminal in full screenw ith no menubar or scrollbar [03:29] how? [03:29] goostov: try http://www.ccleaner.com/ [03:29] well you have to go into profile preferences to disable the scrollbar [03:29] eww, windows programs :P [03:29] then go to the view menu to hide the menubar [03:29] alright that's cool, i'll try that [03:29] then hit f11 [03:29] goosetov: trying cleaning your register [03:30] it looks much nicer than a tty since it's in a truetype antialiased font [03:30] yeah [03:30] although i kind of like the rugged look of tty :D [03:30] hello [03:30] brian1: why are you recommending that? [03:31] D: how do i get the menu bar back :D there was no keyshort [03:31] jats: you help him then === timber_ is now known as timber [03:31] ah just a new one [03:31] brian1: just wondering why you recommended that course of action. No offense meant. [03:31] jats: his getting this when installing wubi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/295840/ [03:32] log`, right-click [03:32] gotcha [03:32] hmm i ought to be able to automate this in a launcher somehow [03:33] Goosetov: you can connect to the internet, right? [03:33] yeah..I'm here [03:33] that's right. [03:33] Hey, someone was helping me earlier today with my LVM problem, they sent me a link to howtoforge.com [03:33] it was on expanding a partition, i'm having trouble expanding the partition on the main volumegroup [03:34] stupid question. [03:34] something is leading me to believe there is a problem with the disk drive... [03:34] iarp: which part are you stuck on? [03:35] I pasted the last bit of that log into google ...which sent me here .... https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/385602 [03:35] well the guide has me boot to a livecd and then run "fsck -n /dev/sda1" and then "tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sda1" [03:35] iarp: that makes an ext2 filesystem an ext3 filesystem [03:36] and i get this error from it ad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda1 [03:36] So i mounted the image with magic ISO and it still seemed to be extractinfg the files from the disk in the drive...at that point I took the disk out of the drive and got an error that there was no disk in the drive even though i was using the virtual drive [03:36] ZykoticK9, oh man i give up with sed, freaking soo hard to use i just use -exec basename {} \; it slow but its ok [03:36] maybe this might have something to do with my problem installing [03:36] hey guys, i cant open chm... ive tried kdechmviewer but it open the chm and dont show me much of it it says something about ms-its... no idea whats wrong [03:36] iarp: I don't think that's what you want to be doing... can you pm me the details of what you are trying to do? [03:37] goosetov: maybe. Do you have the ISO file around? Assuming you burned the CD yourself. [03:37] yes [03:37] goosetov: cant you simply run the file ? [03:37] hey: what does it mean if it says a package is Set to Manually Installed ??? [03:37] log`, you can put --hide-menubar and --full-screen on the command line of gnome-terminal [03:37] read up...i tried and thats cuasing wierd problems [03:37] airman00_: it means that it won't be automatically removed when everything that depends on it is removed [03:38] russlar: stupid question, but i'm kinda new to irc commands, how do i open a pm [03:38] iarp: /query user [03:38] goosetov: also you can try installing by USB [03:38] lucas_, not familiar with kdechmviewer, either sounds like a bad file or you can use other viewers, do a package description search at packages.ubuntu.com [03:38] On the bug page you found, a commenter suggested using the ISO instead of the CD. I believe if you move the ISO into the same folder it will use that instead of the CD. [03:39] do users currently have read perms on other users home dirs? [03:39] even if they dont have write perms? [03:39] brian1, goosetov: installing via USB would likely have the same problems as installing via CD. I think installing via CD/USB might actually be the best option (easier to troubleshoot). [03:39] I mounted the ISO owith magic ISO and it still extarcted the files from the cd in the drive...when I removed the CD it said I didn't have one in the drive [03:39] !wine [03:39] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu === jfeole_ is now known as jfeole [03:41] goosetov: sigh.. try daemon tools [03:41] Goosetov: an iso mounted with magic iso/daemon tools/alcohol is the same as a physical cd, from the program's point of view. [03:41] Random832, yeah i just figured that out thanks [03:41] my linux ubuntu dont reconize pen drive.how do this? [03:42] can someone tell me if users currently have read only perms on other users home dirs? [03:42] lenswipe: use ls -al /home [03:42] help me please [03:43] jats ..the thing is it is not letting me use the mounted drive unless there is a cd in the physical drive and it is simplky using the physical cd no matter what i mount in the virtual.... [03:43] fdsgsd [03:43] xrandr, well the reason im asking is im giving users access through usermin and at the moment they have read permissions on other users home dirs, if i was to chmod /home recursively to 700 would that give everyone except the owner and root permissions of 0? [03:43] goosetov: thats werid [03:43] yeah ...no doubt [03:43] lenswipe: that's true [03:43] goosetov: you shouldnt need it [03:44] goosetov: reboot lol [03:44] xrandr, so whats the default numerical permissions incase i mess up? [03:44] goosetov: odd, but I'd try moving the ISO to the directory you have wubi in so it uses that. [03:44] dont remember the numerical, i'd do chmod -R u+wrx /home === stinky is now known as stinkyTaco [03:45] so I don't actually need to mount the ISO just simply have it in the wubi folder ...correct ? [03:45] correct. [03:46] getting same error...no disk in drive [03:46] hmm is there a universal gnome command line parameter to start an application as "always on top" [03:46] ? [03:46] screw magiciso [03:46] use daemontool [03:46] magic iso is currently off....i was trying it with the iso in the folder === lenswipe is now known as you === you is now known as lenswipe [03:47] magiciso is windows tool no? [03:47] yeah === canthus13 is now known as MegaSuperUberBig [03:47] ya, goosetov is trying to install ubuntu === MegaSuperUberBig is now known as SuperUberBigTaco [03:47] goosetov: what do you have for hard drive space? [03:47] xrandr, another thing is, i have all my samba stuff in /home like my public folder and stuff, what would be the effect of that command on those? [03:47] the last I recall, daemontools on windows can't burn cds [03:47] aka do you have enough free? [03:47] 38gb [03:47] anyone know how to do a rawdump into an ISO? i want to backup my gamecube disks before i loose another one [03:48] probably a good idea is to use usb stick if you have one [03:48] xrandr, is there a way of having that command ignore the folder called "samba" ? [03:48] 38 free? [03:48] yes [03:48] Has someone here got a fix for the psybnc bug? [03:48] Someone seems to have also made a post about the psybnc bug: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1294110 [03:48] can i install suse next to ubuntu? [03:48] lenswipe: no affect at all. Samba permissions are set in /etc/samba/smb.conf [03:48] haven489: why would u want to? [03:48] haven489, as in another partition separate to ubuntu? yes === Tweek is now known as MightyTweek [03:49] wubi should download an ISO if it can't find one. [03:49] xrandr, so for example if i was to run that command on /home then it wont mean stuff happens like users cant write to public and stuff? [03:49] exactly [03:49] no way to start a gnome app from the command line with a parameter that tells it to always be on top? === spine is now known as sPiNe [03:49] well i have a windows vista and want to install suse next to it [03:49] xrandr, ah ok... [03:49] hello [03:50] lenswipe: the directives in smb.conf (allowed users, admin users) are what sets those permissions in samba [03:50] if u want do a chmod -R ug+wrx /home [03:50] xrandr, right [03:50] hey all i have an issue with failing partitions. it feels like its been happening weekly... am noob [03:50] Does hulu desktop run really slow and lag out a lot, or is it just me?

[03:51] lenswipe: yes. [03:51] !kubuntu [03:51] Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [03:51] xrandr, ah right ok, and if it messes up i can get it back using a chmod of 755 recursive? [03:51] goosetov: the way i install my ubuntu is from: Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop and open it on daemon tool and RUN [03:51] Brian I will try that as well [03:51] lenswipe: or chmod -R u+wrx /home [03:51] cool [03:52] * xrandr hates remembering all the numerical stuff [03:52] goosetov: GOOD LUCK! === SuperUberBigTaco is now known as canthus13 === stinkyTaco is now known as Grand === Grand is now known as StinkyTaco [03:53] Has anyone encountered what I mentioned?

[05:17] nop. desktop ubuntu [05:17] Magnesium: but pidgin doesnt do yahoo voice [05:17] maco: thanks [05:17] alves_rn: i am [05:17] tho im downloading 8.10 [05:17] that dude needs some codience lol [05:17] codeiene* [05:17] alves_rn: I am, why do you ask? [05:17] it has pidgen but it cant [05:18] did you have some problems with gnome? [05:18] it locks when i do the login [05:18] hi [05:18] maco: okay thanks...didn't know that...one learns something new every day! [05:19] which user are scripts in /etc/cron.daily run as [05:19] i logged as root and everyhing is ok [05:19] Magnesium: pidgin has traditionally been text-only. the newest version (not in jaunty) can do voice/video on google talk only [05:19] Billiard: root === proxie is now known as bryanray [05:19] lstarnes: thanks [05:19] got an ubuntu server that will not boot. when i boot it the fonts on the terminal are massive and I can't read the messages. can someone help [05:19] did you have the same problem? [05:20] Sakunix, ask same question in #ubuntu-server, good luck [05:20] my old roomate left me his 9.04 ubuntu server. i Tried running >sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade . after completion i ran >sudo shutdown -r now. upon bootup the server hangs at acpi controller saying "unknown flash type" [05:20] thanks ZykoticK9 [05:20] guys my microphone does not working in ubuntu, how can i solve it? [05:20] coronaas, see above same question in #ubuntu-server [05:21] maco: I use kubuntu, so I have kopete...which is the default IM client in ubuntu? I thought i remember them changing it for karmic or something. [05:21] my gome logout every 5 mins , how can i do ? anybody knows? [05:21] Magnesium: i use kubuntu too :P pidgin was traditional, but karmic i think its empathy now. i dont like empathy. seems unpolished [05:22] macd_, Magnesium empathy in karmic for sure [05:22] maco: do you know if empathy does any voice stuff? [05:22] Magnesium: yes, it does jabber/google [05:22] i have a login problem === ripps_ is now known as ripps [05:23] Magnesium: that was one of the reasons for the switch to empathy. pidgin devs were still saying "someday..." and empathy has had it for a while and is the default gnome client, so... [05:23] don't know why, but its troubling from today morning [05:24] maco: Yeah I guess it makes sense to go with the default gnome client, especially if it has more features, etc. === fcukvista is now known as loveu [05:25] borno: whats your "login problem"? Is it with IM, or something else? [05:25] how do i loopback mount a floppy image to see the file system on it? [05:25] when i'm chatting with u all here,it shows a log off screen. and every time i have to give password [05:25] loveu: nice change of heart ;) [05:25] after 2-3 minutes interval [05:25] Magnesium: its based on telepathy, so its got some crazy-cool stuff. like check out jono's blog. he showed how he was doing desktop sharing using empathy. there are just a few things that differ from my workflow enough to keep me using pidgin [05:25] The government is too bureacratic and corrupt to accept the opinoin of an average American. They don't care about us, and we shouldn't care about them. We need a revolution right now. Start it with Linux. F**K the government! [05:26] bats, please take that elsewhere [05:26] ...? [05:26] borno: IRC is logging you off? Or gdm? [05:26] bats: this is not a politics channel [05:26] bats, that has nothing to do with ubuntu [05:26] bats: this is a support forum [05:26] isnt ubuntu linux?? [05:26] bats: yes [05:26] ok [05:26] bats, this is not the rant channel [05:26] bats: yes, but its nothing to do with the US or the US Government [05:26] sometimes it does not take full password, after typing 2-3 words it opens [05:26] bats: but this is a support channel [05:27] is there an Ubuntu remix of 1.5 ~ 2gigas ? [05:27] for netbooks? [05:27] leave bats alone [05:27] wtf you guys [05:27] Sniper_Jesus, keep it family friendly [05:27] Hello, when I used to log into my machine through ssh, it uesed to say the last address that logged in, this isn't displayed anymore, can I reenable this? [05:27] is it the Troll Hour already? [05:27] ? [05:27] len_, the unr is much smaller, around 700 mb [05:28] bazhang: excuse me you f*cking f*ggot [05:28] i cant wait for obama to endorse ubuntu [05:28] !hammertime [05:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about hammertime [05:28] :( [05:28] obama an ubuntu? [05:28] *and [05:28] bazhang, Ubuntu? I tried to install on my parent's netbook but it required 4 gigas [05:28] len_, ah you mean the install size [05:28] !hammertime-#ubuntu-offtopic [05:28] ━━▊ ━━▊ ━━▊ [05:28] magnesium: i don't know why it happening.... [05:28] anyone help me ouy? [05:29] borno: Weird...I have no idea about your problem. My IRC client is Quassel (KDE) so I probably can't help specifically [05:29] ne chats [05:29] * xrandr curses his attempt to upgrade [05:29] i am so mad now [05:29] yeah someone just put forth this idea that obama's politics and ubuntu's distribution method are compatible [05:29] i royally screwed something up [05:29] bazhang, the installer fit on 1 giga or 2 gigas pendrive. But during installation I ran out sapce [05:29] kopete doesn't like me [05:29] mine is xchat [05:30] Hello, when I used to log into my machine through ssh, it uesed to say the last address that logged in, this isn't displayed anymore, can I reenable this? [05:30] len_, 9.10beta UNR is 2.3G with just a default install. don't know of anything smaller. best of luck. [05:30] i think its very interesting [05:30] empathy only has support for jabber and gtalk [05:30] did I just see the banhammer get lugged out? [05:30] borno: yeah, never used xchat...sorry! [05:30] xchat? [05:30] i've used xchat aqua [05:30] good client imo [05:30] ZykoticK9, wont work for them :( [05:30] does anyone here know how to run fly 2 or il-2 1946 on ubuntu? [05:31] i have also xchat Gnome. should i try that 1? [05:31] borno: I'd give anything a try, IMO [05:31] flyin blind here, haha [05:31] hey who else here hates windows users [05:31] god they are so lame [05:31] well, i try not to hate anyone [05:31] but they really get me peeved sometimes [05:32] IMO, how i ll get it? via add/remove? [05:32] bats: I don't hate anyone other than trolls...like you [05:32] ya windows really went down hill after vista [05:32] Dantonic: Solved from here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+question/76469 [05:32] Magnesium wtf? [05:32] just kidding its always been bad [05:32] what happened? [05:32] u dont just throw accusations like that around [05:33] thanks so much jfeole for helping me fix the problem! [05:33] np [05:33] bats: I think folks would agree with me that you are not discussing support issues in the channel. [05:33] er did linus ever come here? [05:33] does anyone here know how to run il-2 on ubuntu === loveu is now known as Love^O_0^ [05:33] or fly 2 [05:33] i disagree emphatically magnesium [05:33] uh Magnesium your the one arguing.. [05:33] oopd [05:33] oops [05:33] microsoft's corporate agenda creates many support issues for ubuntu users [05:33] so shut up [05:33] bats, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [05:34] bats: I am not arguing. Simply stating a fact. [05:34] nice subjective fact [05:34] magnesium im trying to discuss with bats what the best fix for my flight simulator issue would be and you are just attacking him [05:34] uh u just called me a troll [05:34] hey can anyone point me to a tutorial that teaches you how to setup a mailserver for cli [05:34] for ubuntu [05:34] when I used to log in with ssh it would tell me -> last log on from: " this is gone, can I turn it back on? [05:35] osx5: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi [05:35] I checked ssh config, and PrintLastLog is on [05:35] datz_: my reccomendation, is to uninstall ubuntu and buy vista [05:35] im being oper abused [05:35] ty [05:35] echo "I'm at the end of the file" >> ~/test.txt appends to the end of a file, but how do I preform this command on files that need root, such as /etc/apt/sources.list? [05:35] wkr4k4r, I have vista [05:35] shintaro: that's for irssi? [05:35] then get mirc [05:35] duh [05:35] wkr4k4r: Sorry...I was referring to his numerous comments earlier that were not related to ubuntu support. [05:35] bats: do you have a support question [05:35] wkr4k4r, who are you talking to? [05:36] osx5: yes [05:36] why would you need to know the last time you logged into your shell? [05:36] its kind of needless information really [05:36] shintaro: im not trying to setup email in irssi lol, i'm trying to learn how to setup in cli, in general. what apps do i need? [05:36] turboneg2, more like who [05:36] turboneg2: he probably has stolen shells he wants to know how long they have been inactive [05:36] heh [05:36] yeah, seriously [05:36] wkr4k4r, you guys are great...trolls [05:36] how do i play the sims 2 in ubuntu [05:37] ##linux [05:37] plase leave the channel [05:37] ryguy: sudo sh -c 'echo "I'm at the end of the file" >> ~/test.txt' [05:37] datz_: you are asking for irssiadvice on vista [05:37] irssi doesnt work on vista duh [05:37] datz_ is a troll dont respond to him [05:37] clearly [05:37] irssi on vista? [05:37] wkr4k4r, huh, what? I asked for no irssi advice, and btw, I have irssi on vista [05:37] what a fool [05:37] all you trolls stfu [05:38] ? [05:38] please calm down [05:38] i think the real question is who wants to use vista [05:38] or do echo something | sudo tee -a filename [05:38] LOL [05:38] this is an ubuntu support channel [05:38] any experts want to take a shot at my mysterious networking problem? [05:38] for people with issues [05:38] I'm here for help, wkr4k4r has mistaken me for someone else [05:38] ya vista is a piece of shit garbage hole [05:38] by all [05:38] so far, several have not figured it out [05:38] osx5:sry, guess I mis-read your original question, you say you want cli email or IRC client? [05:38] turboneg2: I'm trying to find out how to setup a mail server and what apps I need, I am on ubuntu. these trolls are distracting people [05:38] cli email [05:38] thank you turboneg2 for reminding everyone of thatt === YBH__1 is now known as YBH_1 [05:38] i'm on irssi right now lol [05:38] datz_: if you are here to help why are you asking questions? [05:38] shintaro: its ok [05:38] osx5, mutt pine... [05:38] osx5: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:39] osx5: you want either alpine or mutt, they are both good [05:39] shintaro: is it hard to config em? [05:39] wkr4k4r, I'm asking for help [05:39] then how are you here to help [05:39] lets get back on topic please [05:40] anyone want to figure out how all 192.168.1.xxx addresses in a browser manage to loop back to my localhost page in Apache? [05:40] datz_, wkr4k4r please lets move on [05:40] and how I have no internet/networking [05:40] osx5- well no, not really hard, their are plenty of tutorials on how to set them up [05:40] if i want to move one fs to another drive can i just DD the entire thing acorss and then moake the new drive bootable? [05:40] I'm trying to make a persistent USB 'LiveCD' of Jaunty. The guide I'm following - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent - has a hell of a lot more entires in their syslinux.cfg file than I do. I'm unsure how to proceed. [05:40] does anyone have a good link for compiling a kernel in 6.06 "dapper drake"? [05:40] shintaro: ill check em out [05:40] thanks [05:40] how do I tell if my laptop has 64 bit capabilties? here is the cpuinfo -> http://pastebin.com/f116a8062 [05:40] lilzeus, take a look at /etc/hosts [05:40] osx5: you bet [05:40] * xrandr is going to do a clean install of 9.04 on his machine [05:41] ok, back to my original query, I'd like the last log in to print when I log in with ssh [05:41] BoxMagnet: how? [05:41] in nautilus? [05:41] axisys: all the core 2 duo's are 64-b...so you're good to go! [05:41] lilzeus, gksudo gedit /etc/hosts [05:41] aeonoris: check out the pendrivelinux.com site. or just use Unetbootin then add a persistant save to it. [05:41] Magnesium: is there a tool that tells you so as well? like isainfo in solaris does ? [05:42] aeonoris: or just use the usb-creator tool in the system->admin->usb startup disk entry [05:42] BoxMagnet: ok, now what? [05:42] Random832: That doesnt seem to be working.. [05:42] what am I looking for? [05:42] ryguy: ? [05:42] lilzeus, well, you could go to www.pastebin.com and paste it [05:42] PrintLastLog yes <- I have this setting. It appears to be broken [05:42] so everyone can take a look. [05:42] I can't...lol...that machine has no networking! [05:42] lilzeus: or, cat /etc/hosts [05:42] axisys: sorry, you mean a tool that can say yes or no as to if you have a 64-bit cpu? [05:43] Random832: sudo sh -c 'echo "I'm at the end of the file" >> ~/test.txt' [05:43] I guess I could copy it to a usb thumb drive, bring it over here, and paste it [05:43] Dr_Willis, the usb-creator tool doesn't create a bootable USB stick for me. However, Unetbootin did, I just didn't realize that it could be persistent. I will look up a guide now, thanks [05:43] Magnesium: yes .. or some output that can suggest it [05:43] lilzeus, 127.0.0.1 localhost [05:43] 127.0.1.1 NCIS-SERVER [05:43] @ryguy, well if it has ~ in the name it'll go in root's homedir, not yours maybe? [05:43] does the first line match the second of yours [05:43] BoxMagnet: correct [05:43] like in mine. [05:43] Guys, is there any way to get "Shiretoko Web browser, to display the same as firefox (in menus, gnome-do, etc)? [05:43] and there is another [05:43] Random832: I'm editing /etc/apt/sources.list [05:43] lilzeus, what does it say === cordor_ is now known as cordor [05:44] aeonoris: yea you have to make a 'casper' save file and edit the default syslinux.cfg entry fro,m what i read. Odd that usb-creator dident work but unetbootin did. they both do basicvally th eexact same thing [05:44] BoxMagnet: "127.0.1.1 ubuntu-webserver" [05:44] yeah but you said it didn't work with "~/test.txt" [05:44] GodfatherofEire, system / preferences / main menu -- edit the entry [05:44] aeonoris: ive had unetbootin install syslinux a little differently where it did work.. and THEN usb-creator worked if i had it install to the same flash drive. It was just a matter of how the bootloader got installed. [05:44] ZykoticK9, would that change its reference throught the system though? [05:45] lilzeus, hmm, should be 127.0.0.1 if that box is the server [05:45] ? [05:45] 127.0.0.1 = Lo, or local host or, you. [05:45] axisys: hmmm...not that I can think of off the top of my head, other than what you did, and just use the fact that the core 2 duo's are 64-bit [05:45] GodfatherofEire, that takes care of the menu part -- i don't use gnomedo so don't know there? [05:45] BoxMagnet: 127.0.0.1 = localhost [05:45] Hello [05:45] 127.0.1.1 = ubuntu-webserver [05:46] jota-: hi [05:46] !hi | jota- [05:46] jota-: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [05:46] axisys: now, you could run uname -a and see if an x86-64 version of *linux* is installed, but I don't think that's what you wanted. [05:46] Dr_Willis, everything that has a syslinux.cfg file seems to have it in a somewhat different format than mine... Mine's really simple, and theirs are long and use capitol letters a lot [05:46] lilzeus, ok so what exactly is the problem.? [05:46] I'm having provlems with my home directory, everytime I try to perform any operation on it the involved app hangs forever [05:46] (By "everything that has it", I mean every site that has it) [05:46] BoxMagnet: I have no internet or networking, and all 192.168.1.xxx addresses loop back to localhost [05:46] Magnesium: no.. i installed the standard desktop version of ubuntu.. i guess i will reinstall using 64bit version of ubuntu on my laptop [05:47] can someone help me fix my my ssh config, PrintLastLog is on, yet last logon is not printed [05:47] ubuntu 9.10 xorg has 100% CPU usage on intel 915, anybody facing the same isssue ? [05:47] axisys, Magnesium if intel had 64 somewhere in there cpu name we'd know [05:47] does anyone know of any audo players for gnome that support ampache??? [05:47] lilzeus, is it a wifi card [05:47] anilalur, please join #ubuntu+1 for karmic support [05:47] BoxMagnet: negative [05:47] bazhang: ok thanks [05:47] ZykoticK9: here is the cpuinfo -> http://pastebin.com/f116a8062 [05:47] i thought 9.10 wasn't released yet [05:47] BoxMagnet: it works fine in LiveCD [05:47] ZykoticK9: well, 64-bit is a property of the hardware series, so *all* core 2 duos are 64-bit [05:47] lilzeus, ok, try commenting the ubuntu webserver line [05:47] datz_: restarted ssh ? [05:47] ZykoticK9: does that tell you if the cpu is 64 bit ? [05:47] If I do ls -l ~ it hangs, if I go to my home using nautilues it hangs [05:48] with a #? [05:48] aeonoris: different entries with different options. readup/learn about syslinux and figure out what its doing and what you need. You could use the ubuntu usb-creater tool;s syslinux.cfg and replace the one made by unetbootin with it. for more 'normal' ubuntu menus also. [05:48] axisys, yes - and if intel had "64" in there name we'd all see it in cpuinfo - but because they don't - we have to research the chips name... [05:48] anyone has any idea why is this happening? [05:48] Billiard, yep, it's been this way for awhile [05:48] is 9.10 still in development? [05:48] lilzeus, yea [05:48] axisys: There's no real need to install 64-bit...A 64-bit processor can run either a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system [05:48] axisys: see if the flags for the cpu contain lm [05:48] aeonoris: i made a 8 OS flash drive the other month :) syslinux is fun to play with. [05:48] BoxMagnet: complete, now what? [05:48] lilzeus, save it, then... /etc/init.d/networking restart [05:49] need to use sdo [05:49] axisys, magnesium: close, the lm flag indicates the 64 bit capability, and yes it is there in the pastebin [05:49] sudo* [05:49] ok [05:49] lstarnes, mb_again_ : it does .. sweet! [05:49] does anyone know of any audo players for gnome that support ampache??? [05:49] brb [05:49] lilzeus, ok, does ubuntu see the NIC card [05:49] ? [05:49] lstarnes, mb_again_ thanks guys .. that is what i was looking for.. so what does the `lm' mean ? [05:49] mb_again_: thanks, I just saw the "core 2 duo" part and moved on. But thanks for the info! I just keep learning on this channel... [05:50] axisys: long mode (64-bit addressing) [05:50] lstarnes: uh huh! [05:50] Dr_Willis, I think I'll try that USB-creator/unetbootin thing. Thanks for the help. [05:50] when i install 9.04 should i go with an ext3 flesystem, or an ext4 ? [05:50] lm? who knows. somewhere there is an index of cpu capabilities ... [05:50] jota-, the permission to your home directory might be incorrrect! "ls -l /home" and see if your username is the owner of the directory. [05:50] xrandr, ext4 has improvements over ext3, its faster etc. [05:50] i am very happy with it. [05:51] BoxMagnet: and it can be used in 9,04? [05:51] xrandr: ext3 works well enough [05:51] xrandr: yes [05:51] xrandr, yes, just finished insalling [05:51] on my media server [05:51] ok [05:51] ZykoticK9, doesnt change it in the window either [05:51] excellent [05:51] BoxMagnet: "unable to resolve host ubuntu-webserver" "ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0" [05:51] xrandr, ull need to setup partitions manually. [05:51] axisys: sometimes you may get better performance with a 64-bit OS on a 64-bit processor. But it's kinda debatable...there are actually certain things that are *faster* on a 32-bit OS. [05:51] Still displays as - Shiretoko [05:51] BoxMagnet: well, i plan to use the full disk anyway so... [05:52] xrandr, ok, if you got enough ram you dont need a swap anyway [05:52] GodfatherofEire, ahhh no i woulnd't imagine it would change that... sorry man i gots nothing. [05:52] 2GB ram [05:52] hello every one could some one help me out plz [05:52] Magnesium: 64 bit will eat more memory.. i have only 3GB on this laptop (max is 8GB) .. so I may not benefit w/ 64 bit [05:52] but i always put like 2GB swap [05:52] xrandr, hmm, i don't know I have 3 on my laptop and i dont use one [05:52] xrandr, BoxMagnet: if you use hibernation, you need at least as much swap as ram [05:52] BoxMagnet: ubuntu does see the NIC card [05:52] to answer your question from above [05:52] lstarnes, yea, i don't use hibernate [05:52] im on a desktop :) [05:52] xrandr: man if you have to swap 2 gigs -- ouch! [05:52] no hibernating [05:52] lilzeus, um ok, can you open a PM with me [05:53] Anybody else know how to change Shiretoko back to Firefox (I know its the same program, but I want the old name back, including in the window name etc) [05:53] I just recently changed my bios and only enabled HDMI as the sound card. How do I set the system default sound card to be the HDMI card. For example, if I want to play a video, normally I would just type mplayer video.mpg, but not I have to type mplayer alsa:device=hw=0.3. I don't want to do this with just mplayer, but have vlc and xine recognize the new default as well [05:53] ZykoticK9, yes I am the owner. I had also tried running ls as root anyway [05:53] GodfatherofEire: I don't think it can be done [05:53] axisys: that's exactly what I mean...plus, the processor has to send more information through it each clock cycle, so that can slow it down. [05:53] hello every one could some one help me out plz [05:53] jota does it start off something like drwx... ? [05:53] ubuntu i love you! [05:54] GodfatherofEire: shiretoko is the name for ff 3.5 [05:54] Istarnes, well, if it can display it as Shiretoko instead of firefox, I'll bet it can [05:54] well, im off [05:54] time to install :) [05:54] bbl [05:54] GodfatherofEire: it's using the development branding instea of the official branding [05:54] GodfatherofEire: maybe if you find a binary editor [05:54] Bluey, Not according to the source code [05:54] wish me luck [05:54] xrandr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:54] Y or N question, is it possible to switch distro without losing too much user data and/or applications? [05:54] GodfatherofEire: only official builds from mozilla should use the official branding [05:54] axisys: Now, my desktop has a core 2 quad, and 3 GB of RAM. I run 64-bit linux, and I've tried 32-bit, and i found that I liked 64-bit better. [05:54] Cozi: yes if you backup /etc and /home [05:54] axisys: Didn't seem to use that much more ram either. [05:55] Istarnes, the ones in the repos for 3.0 use it [05:55] Hey! can anyone help me with getting the sugar gui set up?

[05:55] Magnesium: do you know where can I get 64bit desktop ubuntu ? [05:55] axisys -- hand on [05:56] axisys: If you go the 64-bit route, I would recommend using 64-bit flash as well. Google it...you'll find a bunch of stuff. [05:56] i probably should wait 12 days.. and install the 64 bit of karmic instead?! [05:56] jota-, (that looks good so long as your loggin in as jota right now) and if you go into the directory? can you do regular commands like ls, cd inside the jota directory? [05:56] axisys: here -- scroll down and choose 64 bit -- http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [05:56] what you meant by 64 bit flash ? [05:56] Bluey: thank [05:56] Bluey: thanks [05:56] axisys: You can download 64-bit ubuntu from the same place you downloaded the 32-bit version. There's a little radio button you can select for 64-bit [05:56] axisys: you are welcome [05:57] axisys: okaym bluey gave you the link...thanks Bluey! [05:57] np [05:57] ls is actually the one that is failing, everything else seems to be working fine (cd, mkdir ) === fcukvista is now known as DFSF [05:57] the auto completion feature is also failing [05:57] jota-: whwn you so la what happens? can you see it in nautilus? [05:58] axisys: I mean the 64-bit flash plugin, for firefox etc. There are some issues I think getting 32-bit flash working with 64-bit firefox. [05:58] nope Bluey, nautilus also hangs when I try to go into /home/jota/ [05:58] jota-: why I can't type for beans tonight -- when you do ls what happens? [05:58] Magnesium: oh i c..

I've installed it via apt-get, but when I select "Sugar" at the log in screen, it won't load properly [05:59] jota: it locks up or doesn't display? [05:59] Magnesium, axisys 64bit flash has been a non-issue for a while, it's no harder then the 32bit version now. [05:59] it hangs, it doesn print enything but I don't get the prompt back and I cannot kill it with Ctrl-C [05:59] axisys: the 64-bit flash plugin comes from adobe, but it's only for linux. They say it's an alpha version, but I have been using it for a long time, and it has been extremely stable... === sarah is now known as Guest99103 [05:59] jota-: have you looked in the system log? [05:59] will ubuntu apt-get automatically pick up the 64bit pkgs . [05:59] axisys: more stable than 32-bit flash on windows, haha [05:59] is there a reason my cd burning keeps failing?? everytime it fails, i get the error message, "try a slower burning speed". i've tried 3 lower than the maximum now. anyone suggest a specific burning tool besides using the "write to disc" option? [06:00] ynk, what are you using now [06:00] axisys: apt-get always gets packages for the installed architecture [06:00] ynk: k3b [06:00] i have a teamspeak prob can anyone help [06:00] ynk: i find the default burning tool inubuntu - flakey. I perfer k3b [06:00] Magnesium: anything is more stable than windows [06:00] Magnesium: hehe [06:00] ynk try k3b [06:00] lstarnes: thanks [06:00] Im not sure the use of the words 'flash and stable' in the same sentance - is proper. :) [06:00] axisys: 64-debs...yep, you won't really notice any big differences up front...it'll get 64-bit everything for you. [06:01] Magnesium: tahnks [06:01] Bluey it just started working again all of a sudden... [06:01] axisys: well said...windows stability... :( [06:01] jota-: do you know how to check the sytem log?

By popular request, i shall now give k3b a shot. you guys are awesome!! now to figure out how to apt-get this thing. ;D [06:01] bai [06:01] jota-: tail -f 150 /var/log/messages | more [06:02] ynk, k3b is awesome. Also nero is amazing. [06:02] whatis6x9: i have nero 4 for linux - it's great [06:02] I hate to say it, but if youve finicky hardware for burning sometimes nero is the only one that works [06:02] Hey, can someone help me with getting the sugar gui working? I've installed it via apt-get, but when I select "Sugar" at the log in screen, it won't load properly [06:02] Bluey, ;-) [06:02] ynk: sudo apt-get install k3b [06:03] whatis6x9: it's great because it's the same programme in window -- so zero learning curve [06:03] Bluey, is Nero 4 for linux free? (highly doubt it) :[ [06:03] is it possible to set up a desktop environment on one machine and clone it on an arbitrary machine? [06:03] scunizi, thanks buddy. [06:03] ynk no it's like $30 iirc [06:03] Bluey, ah. that's not too bad. [06:03] but my upgrade was cheap -- because I had version 3 [06:04] Bluey I think dmesg does pretty much the same as the command you suggested [06:04] let me see if I can find the page ynk just a sec [06:04] Nothing there that seems to be realted to the problem I was having though [06:04] panfist arnitary is pretty tall order, but for most personal computers yes [06:04] panfist: do you mean like a thinClient kinda thing? [06:04] Bluey, it's alright. my googling fingers are working tonight. ;] thanks pal.

[06:07] ok... Has anyone here heard of it? [06:07] anyone here got a minute for some trying to set up a web server for the first time? [06:07] Dr_Willis: I'd argue that... [06:07] *someone [06:08] Bluey: how can I check what are the keyborad mappings? [06:08] Pairadimesitty: have you already installed apache and php & mysql? [06:08] Bluey: proberly depends on the task you are doing. :) i will admit last i used nero for lin was some mo ago.

[06:10] Supersaiyan_IV: good question....don't know [06:10] Dr_Willis, doesn't the command line use the same type of method as the default burning tools? o_O i'm confused now.. [06:11] Pairadimesitty: Open synaptic package manager and go to .. Edit > Mark packages by Task > choose LAMP and install [06:11] Bluey, from changelog → "Fixed a memory allocation problem with pre-GeForce 8 GPUs that caused GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap clients (e.g., Compiz, KDE 4) to display incorrect contents."

Not sure thy the gnome frontend is so flakey for me. It seems to Burn fine.. it just alwyas complains about the verification.. even tho i can verify the data in some other tools and they verify fine. it still complains about how its verifying the data [06:13] Pairadimesitty: If it's your first it's much easier to just use the method I mentioned.. then later you can tweek it fro the guide [06:13] Dr_Willis: I've just the opposite problems with kde === fcukvista is now known as daf1 [06:14] any video Graphic card people Here?

[06:16] nvidia is broke in 9.04 good before and with other distro's debian is fine etc just not 9.04 [06:17] wookienz: hda used to refer to ide drives.. and sda scsi or sata - but now a days sda is used for ide drives also. you rarely see hdXX used.

[07:05] ZoeyMarie, I think if that solution in the ubuntu wiki site works, you should go for it. [07:05] xrandr: do you have ati or graphic card? :f [07:05] Xeon3D: The first one? [07:06] ZoeyMarie, the one on the ubuntu site. [07:06] maybe check if there is a newer alsa-firmware package [07:07] i am using 1600x1050 in 9.04 [07:07] Xeon3D: That was the one that I used, and when I try and test the sound card under preferences > sound, or in qjackctl/jackd, it freezes more often than not... === root is now known as Guest74165 === Guest74165 is now known as panfist [07:10] what is the proper way to remove the source files after using "apt-get source" [07:11] i installed some new packages and now booting into gnome ends up frozen at a display of a distorted splash screen. can i reset my config or something to get back into gnome? [07:11] Billiard: remove the files manually with rm [07:11] lstarnes: ok thanks [07:11] is there a more comprehensive power manager for gnome? [07:11] hi every body am sorry but it's my one to use ubuntu can you give me advices. i know that is not the debate bur please help me [07:12] my navagation bars have gone missing, anyone know where to turn them back on [07:12] in nautilous [07:13] your windows borders? === asad is now known as Guest47995 [07:13] no like where it has buttons [var] / [www] or [/] [07:13] or [home] [07:13] location bar? [07:13] yes [07:13] CAN SOMEBODY WHO IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH WINE PLZ HELP ME OUT MOSTLY INSTALL UNINSTALL [07:13] how do I install a new Icon pack? [07:13] view > location bar [07:13] Xeon3D: I found an updated version of the alsa-firmware, and I downloaded it... how do I get it to overwrite the previous one? [07:13] Guest47995, can you not yell? [07:14] was that yelling my bad trying to get some attention [07:14] roflparrot, thanks, that was easy :P [07:14] Guest47995, what help with win, try #winehq [07:14] !yell | Guest47995 [07:14] Guest47995: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [07:15] no problem [07:15] can anyone help me get tightvncserver setup ( cant connect ) [07:15] thanks [07:15] I got a user A, and I've set up user B. I'd like to mirror the environment settings from A to B; instead of going into the user B's account and changing the desktop, panel features, number of workspaces, etc.. all one at a time, is there an easier way? ie: is there a file I can just copy from user A's settings to B's ? [07:16] Guest47995, what is it that you are having trouble with? Is uninstalling software not working? [07:16] Algorithmist, there isn't a single file where all user settings are saved, different apps save their preferences in different folders [07:17] can anyone help me get tightvncserver setup ( cant connect ) but got ports forwarded [07:17] Algorithmist, the user preferences are usually saved in the /home directory of a user [07:17] alokito, sure, I'm aware of that... like ~/.folder - okay, just thought maybe there was an easier way... as user A is very configured [07:18] lstarnes: after deleting the source files manually, when attempting to redownload them it says "Skipping unpack of already unpacked source" and i dont get the source files extracted [07:18] BoxMagnet: when doing vnc over the internet you should set up a ssh tunnle. not just forward ports. (tunnle = secure, port forawring = not secure) [07:18] is there a way to test my sound card that is NOT the preferences > sound way? like, maybe from the command line?? [07:18] !vnc | BoxMagnet [07:18] BoxMagnet: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [07:18] thank you alokito [07:18] Algorithmist, u can copy the preference directories of the apps you want from one user to another from the /home dir [07:18] Dr_Willis, this is over my LAN [07:18] Dr_Willis, my ubuntu laptop to my ubuntu desktop media thin [07:19] they are hidden so u have to change ur file manager preference to show hidden files and folders [07:19] Dr_Willis, it should be 192.168.1.3:5900 but it says cant connect [07:19] BoxMagnet: turn off the firewall perhaps. and see if it works.. also it should be 192.168.1.3:0 perhaps? [07:20] Dr_Willis, does tight vnc have default user? [07:20] BoxMagnet: I normally install tightvncserver, run it to set up a password, then close it.. (using vncserver -kill :1 or :0) [07:20] i installed some packages and my system fails to boot; it seems that when the splash screen is about to chnage to the system log in prompt, it gets distorted and then hangs. i can choose recovery mode from the grub menu and get a terminal. how can i fix my graphic envrionment? [07:20] Dr_Willis, so what do I do? [07:20] BoxMagnet: You run tightvncserver as the user you want.. then you connect. after you have it properly setup [07:21] hi everybody, is it wise to merge debian repositories with ubuntu repositories? [07:21] hi, is there a separate log for PrintLastLog with ssh? [07:21] BoxMagnet: make sure you got a vncserver password set. and check your .vnc/xstartup so its running a proper window manager. gnome can be sluggush. [07:21] BoxMagnet: i perfer icewm or flwm for my vnc sessions [07:21] Dr_Willis, i cant connect at all though [07:21] i hate flash this is stupid fullscreen should be fullscreen [07:21] Dr_Willis, i got 5800 and 5900 forwarded to the vnc box [07:22] BoxMagnet: check your .vnc/whatever.logs [07:22] mimiloon, why would u need that? I think ubuntu has most of the apps current version where debian stable has the older versions [07:22] panfist, in the terminal try sudo /init.d/gdm stop then sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [07:22] BoxMagnet: disable the firewall as a test. vnc starts at port 5900 and goes UP one port per screen. it may want 5901 also.. [07:22] panfist, then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [07:22] Dr_Willis, what firewall? [07:23] BoxMagnet: you are the one saying you got ports forwared.. that only makes sence if you have a firewall going [07:23] Dr_Willis, ok 5901 worked [07:23] coz_, a shortcut way to do that is alt+sysreq+k [07:23] coz_ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade didn't do anything [07:23] i'm trying to setup rsync as a service, and i'm following the guide on ubuntu's community website, it says to make a file called rsync in xinetd.d but i dont have that i have init.d. In init.d i already have a rsync file buts its packed with alot of something [07:23] panfist, did sudo apt-get update run through? [07:23] BoxMagnet: each vnc 'desktop' goes to its own port. based on teh # of the desktop [07:23] yes [07:23] Dr_Willis, it should have started at 5900 though [07:23] alokito: because some of the software that i need are available in debian repositories; (or can you help me locate all the repositories list on one page plz?) [07:24] panfist, try update-manager -d from alt+f2 window [07:24] BoxMagnet: no.. your local desktop screen is :0 [07:24] well off to windows since no one here can help me and i've searched all the stupid search sites and checked adobe and nothing.turned off compiz, turned off emerald, installed alternate browser and still no full screen [07:24] BoxMagnet: your first vncsession is :1 and so on [07:24] panfist, ok one more time time sudo apt-get dist-upgrade if that doesn work again then try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [07:24] Dr_Willis, so, if i opened another it would be 5902 [07:24] "could not open display [07:24] Dr_Willis, how can port 5901 work when its not forwarded though [07:24] @ alokito [07:24] mimiloon, search http://getdeb.net [07:25] BoxMagnet: you got forwarding on the brain.. i use vnc with NO FORWARDING setup at all.. [07:25] panfist, ? [07:25] panfist, ok which video card are you using [07:25] alokito: thanks [07:25] BoxMagnet: ive4 no idea what you are actually doing when you mean 'forwarding' if the pcs are on the local kan and no firewalls theres no need to forward anything.. they open ports to each other as needed. [07:25] Dr_Willis, hahahaha so it was just 5901 the whole time cause of +1 [07:25] alokito i could not open update-manager, it could not open a display [07:26] Dr_Willis, ok so i can close those ports? [07:26] panfist, nvidia ? [07:26] panfist, what happens when you run update-manager -d from alt+f2? [07:26] BoxMagnet: close? you said you had no firewall - thus no need to open/.close anything. [07:26] panfist, aren't u running a xserver? [07:26] how do you check/display what mods are installed in apache? [07:26] Dr_Willis, this is my router [07:27] BoxMagnet: if the pcs are on the same side of the lan then the router isent doing anything.. the forwarding is from the WAN (outside interenet) to the inside machines.. Not on the internal lan [07:27] I got a bug of somekind with gthumb, it won't find any pictures on its own. If I open one from nautilus with it it displayes it ok, but when I hit the close to see move to browser window it only displays a thumbnail of the picture I opened. If I search for pictures with it doesn't find any. Koala beta amd64 - I checked permission already and eyeofgnome works fine.. [07:27] figured it out with some help guys, lastlog was missing from /var/log/ [07:27] ZoeyMarie, you install it the same way you did the other one [07:27] BoxMagnet: you are fowarding outside traffic to the pc;s - You dont want to do that. [07:27] I was uninstalling kde when kdm was to be removed. When I clicked Yes, X shutdown and now, there are a bunch of kde programs left. How do I cleanly remove it? [07:28] Dr_Willis, ok understood, now how do I get vnc to show something besides a terminal ( i have the startup file open ready to edit ) [07:28] Xeon3D: I followed the second directions (http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Tascam_US-122) only I used the most recent alsa-firmware version (1.0.20), only now there is no sound, and it's still freezing when I try and test it. :( [07:28] BoxMagnet: i perfer icewm or flwm for my vnc sessions [07:28] Dr_Willis, ok, lets say using icewm [07:28] allenbradley, you have to remove the programs from synaptic or using sudo apt-get remove command [07:28] BoxMagnet: look at hte last line of the xstartup [07:28] make it exec icewm [07:29] make it 'exec icewm' [07:29] alokito, each and every one of them manually? [07:29] just exec icewm [07:29] ? [07:29] ZoeyMarie, see? you should have followed the ubuntu one. [07:29] allenbradley, you can remove many programs at once, not one by one [07:29] BoxMagnet: what is the last line? [07:29] alokito, I have to check them off right? [07:29] Xeon3D: that was the first one I followed, and it didn't work either. :( [07:29] allenbradley, to easily find which programs are to be removed, see the details of kubuntu-desktop package [07:30] how do I revert it and try again from the ubuntu one? (if that's what I should do) [07:30] alokito, ahh.. I'll try that out and post back [07:30] Dr_Willis, twm & [07:30] BoxMagnet: and twm is NOT installed by default.. thats the whole issue. :) [07:30] coz_ i tired /etc/init.d/gdm restart and my system locked like it did from a normal boot. i rebooted and within recovery mode did an "xfix" to attempt to automatically fix the problem. i resumed normal boot, and saw something like: "DKMS auto installation .... for fglrx: fail" as the mesg was scrolling...then it crashed again. [07:30] change twm & to be 'exec whateverwindowmanageryouwant' [07:30] ZoeyMarie, you don't need to revert anything (apart from erasing that udev file), you can just re-do the steps. it'll overwrite [07:31] panfist, looks like a bad install of the ati driver ? [07:31] Dr_Willis, do i still keep the exec icewm at the top [07:31] Xeon3D: Should I keep this more current version of the alsa-firmware, or write over it? [07:31] Dr_Willis, or recomment it [07:31] so how can i replace it with software rendering for now? [07:32] allenbradley, there might be a package to remove all kde packages at once but I don't know its name, to remove ubuntu-desktop completely there's a package named libgnome or something [07:32] BoxMagnet: top? it goes at the end. its the last command ran. anything passt exec WHATEVER will not get ran. [07:32] panfist, you could try reverting to the default driver but with ati i am not sure how that is done in the xorg === eights is now known as Guest83653 [07:32] k [07:32] allenbradley, you can ask in #kubuntu channel if such package exists [07:32] panfist, I am sure someone here more familiar with ati can help [07:32] BoxMagnet: sample xsetup => 2 lines [07:32] xterm & [07:32] exec icewm [07:32] done. :) [07:32] Dr_Willis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:32] BoxMagnet: do you think Dr_Willis could figure out my problem? [07:32] k [07:33] * Dr_Willis hides [07:33] lilzeus, probably yes, [07:33] NO!!!! [07:33] did that not work? [07:33] :) [07:33] :) [07:33] hi, i had burn i hybrid iso image to my usb and now i do not know how to format my drive(to create a large fat32 partition windows compatible), gparted sees my usb drive as a cdrom and offers to format with loop ... [07:33] allenbradley: remove qt+dependencies [07:33] BoxMagnet: no, it did not [07:33] Dr_Willis, his wired NIC does not work with the HD install but works on live-cd [07:33] so i had him try to copy the settings [07:33] his HD has a bunch of weird stuff [07:33] if xserver died when you were uninstalling packages you should reinstall them first [07:33] under interfaces [07:34] simion314, if no on has an answer here you may want to try the ##linux channel for a broader information base [07:34] BoxMagnet: not anymore! I copied the settings over :) [07:34] lilzeus: on the live cd see what modules are getting loaded with 'lsmod' and be sure the same one sare getting loaded on the installed system. Is about all i can suggesst [07:34] alokito, I just searched for kde in synaptic [07:34] alokito, Now I'm completely removing them [07:34] allenbradley, hmm that might not find all the packages === d0wn_ is now known as d0wn [07:35] Dr_Willis: how do I go about doing that? [07:35] coz_, thx i will try there [07:35] Dr_Willis, whats the command to kill vncserver [07:35] DaZ, I might need qt.. Won't that affect packages like Qtoctave? [07:35] allenbradley, did you try DaZ's suggestion? [07:35] allenbradley: it will <: [07:35] alokito, I might need qt [07:35] allenbradley: then remove kdelibs+kdebase [07:35] DaZ, in synaptic? [07:36] allenbradley: if you want to [07:36] ZoeyMarie, you should use the latest versions always. [07:36] Is there any way to mount a floppy image without super user privileges? [07:37] Dr_Willis: it would seem my networking is caught up in some kind of loop back, every ping to 192.168.1.xxx address returns in 0.05ms, and every address 192.168.1.xxx in browser loops back to localhost of Apache's default "It works!" page [07:37] Dr_Willis: I am unable to ping any other addresses [07:37] or rather they fail [07:37] Dr_Willis, that config file did not work. [07:38] DaZ, thanks for the tip [07:39] I think KDE's finally going out [07:39] allenbradley: but kde is great, you know? :f [07:40] kde4 is my favorite [07:40] DaZ, with my intel graphic card, nothing's great [07:40] ZoeyMarie, anyway off to bed now. Wish you good luck with it. You also might find some help on the ALSA channel. [07:40] DaZ, I regressed back to the terminal just to get things done [07:41] huh <: [07:41] allenbradley, whats the conflict between kde and intel grafix card :-/ [07:41] Xeon3D: thanks for the help... it's still not working, but thank you anyways. :) [07:41] |lsmod [07:41] u can turn of kwin if grafix isn't smooth [07:41] | lsmod [07:42] what is lsmod? [07:42] !lsmod [07:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about lsmod [07:42] alokito: last time i checked, kde conflicted with old nvidia drivers [07:42] ;f [07:42] lilzeus, i think it shows hardware information [07:42] alokito, The windows continually tear, and the "peek" function gets completely screwed [07:42] alokito, It's a conflict between X and the card, not KDE alone [07:42] Dr_Willis, im lost with the config file [07:42] allenbradley, use metacity in kde :P [07:42] alt+f2 metacity --replace [07:43] alokito, still, it isn't worth the pain.. I started using a tiling window manager and in love ever since [07:43] allenbradley: "awesome", isn't it? [07:44] allenbradley, what window manager? [07:44] Jimmio, exactly! [07:44] there's tiling patch for kwin iirc <: [07:44] allenbradley: Yeah, awesome is pretty... dare I say it... awesome. [07:44] i haven't used anything else than metacity, compiz, kwin and xfce4 wm :( [07:44] allenbradley, a window manager (KWin in KDE ) manages the way windows are rendered in X ( at least, the way I know ) [07:45] Anyone know much about modules? I'm looking through them atm trying to figure out the point of certain ones. What's the "DRM shared core routines" one. It's listed as drm in the lsmod list. Is it a driver or something? [07:45] alokito, a window manager (KWin in KDE ) manages the way windows are rendered in X ( at least, the way I know ) [07:45] allenbradley, I know that... [07:45] Jimmio, Amen man, Amen [07:45] alokito, awesome [07:45] alokito, [07:46] Daz, still isn't worth it. It defeats everything which KDE stands for [07:46] allenbradley, I asked the name of the window manager u are using now, or is the name "tiling window manager"?.. :-/ [07:46] alokito, It is called awesomewm. [07:46] alokito: It's name is awesome. Package name awesome. [07:46] lol, ok :D [07:46] ill give it a try [07:46] alokito, If you are on Jaunty don't use repo [07:47] alokito, Use karmic or jaunty backports for awesomev3 [07:47] allenbradley, im in windows xp now, but I can try in vbox [07:47] I have karmic in vbox [07:47] alokito, Then enjoy :) [07:47] Jimmio, what do you use? [07:48] allenbradley: I'm currently in Gnome because I'm more used to it. Awesome is just a bit too awesome for me sometimes. xP [07:48] alokito, Once you're on awesome, use irssi for irc, mcabber for jabber and mutt for email. You'll never leave the terminal again! [07:49] Jimmio, Gnome3? [07:49] ok :) [07:49] allenbradley: the default installed one in 9.04. *shrugs* [07:49] is gnome3 release yet? :-/ [07:49] Jimmio, Meh. Fair enough. Probably good enough [07:50] alokito, PPA's are up, i guess [07:50] hmm [07:50] alokito, you're on vbox right? switch to gnome 3 [07:50] allenbradley, yes [07:51] hi, i just installed ubuntu from windows and i ae defaults; somehwo the partition for ubuntu is way small (just 250mb left). how can i resize stuff? i want to shrink windows to near-oblivion :P [07:51] alokito: G3 is not due until next spring [07:51] mneptok, You mean the final stable? [07:51] mneptok, no beta available? [07:51] allenbradley: i mean "anything approaching usable" [07:52] guess i have to install karmic, i have jaunty installed in vbox not karmic :( [07:52] allenbradley: Try guessing what I'm doing in Gnome xP [07:52] alokito: Karmic uses GNOME 2 [07:53] mneptok, when I saw the cool screenshots on the web _ and_ a burst of activity in the Gnome community, I presumed too early [07:53] alokito: Just add the karmic repos for a bit, install awesome, then remove the repos. Don't update everything. [07:53] mneptok, well can't I add a repo and install gnome 3 beta [07:53] Jimmio, Uhhh....running KDE in vbox? [07:53] allenbradley, why not just use emacs? It even includes a kitchen sink, single terminal with buffers for everything, no need for X or multiple consoles.... [07:53] Jimmio, ok, thanks [07:53] allenbradley, kde runs fine in vbox in my pc [07:54] hello, I'm trying to format a disk to hfsplus, but when I do I get the error: "mkfs.hfsplus: /dev/sdb1: partition size not a multiple of 4K."... I checked with fdisk and the partition _is_ a multiple.... can anyone help me? maybe I am doing something wrong. [07:54] allenbradley: Nope, writing a kernel for a science project some friends and I are working on xP [07:54] ElijahCMenifee, You a vim kinda person? Cause its really hard to detect sarcasm on the interwebs [07:54] this is what my partitions look like http://i.imgur.com/WcMxO.png [07:54] alokito, Blessed art thou, who can run kde smoothly. You should write a tutorial [07:54] allenbradley, No actually use emacs in viper-mode best of both worlds... [07:54] i want to reallocate DATA to ubuntu. is that possible? [07:55] alokito allenbradley: http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointTwentyseven [07:55] vim ftw! [07:55] ElijahCMenifee, With lisp? [07:55] lol, with desktop effects disabled it runs pretty fine [07:55] Jimmio, From GeekOS or modding linux? [07:55] fool_, that's fo real! [07:56] allenbradley: Writing one by hand. From scratch. [07:56] allenbradley, truth is I hate lisp, so i either find modules that do what I need or ask the local lisp expert how to add functionality to my emacs... [07:56] Jimmio, heavens. Unix-like? [07:56] ok. i have read alot of the forums about the display modes stuff in X [07:56] allenbradley: Of course. Unix is the way to go. [07:56] i still cant get 1920x1280 working [07:56] ElijahCMenifee, All this while vim has its very nice little scripts? [07:57] Jimmio, So what can the kernel do? [07:57] !offtopic [07:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:57] !ubottu [07:57] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [07:57] allenbradley: See pm. [07:57] Sorry for offtopicness. [07:58] gonna try one more time [07:58] Oops. Got the message. [07:58] allenbradley, does vim at this point support all the buffers, sql connection client, email and so forth? if so I might take another look at it, emacs at the time lured me away from vi (vim was very imature at the time) [07:59] ElijahCMenifee, I'm not a vim ninja, so I can't confirm that. The buffers part, yes. Email, no. [07:59] http://vkontakte.ru/reg21901733 [07:59] snokat ýòî ñàéò âêîíòàêòå [07:59] http://vkontakte.ru/reg21901733 [07:59] snokat ýòî ñàéò âêîíòàêòå [07:59] http://vkontakte.ru/reg21901733 [07:59] snokat ýòî ñàéò âêîíòàêòå [07:59] http://vkontakte.ru/reg21901733 [07:59] snokat: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:00] allenbradley, does it support easy support for shelling out in a buffer (ex running mutt in a buffer) [08:00] * patbam weeps [08:01] can I re-install over a current install? [08:01] ElijahCMenifee, not any easy way I know of [08:01] lilzeus: ? [08:01] lilzeus: it will destroy you old install, one suggestion is create a seperate partition for /home [08:02] ElijahCMenifee, I use screen, so I never explored these parts in vim [08:02] Desmond: that is how I have set it up the first time [08:03] lilzeus: then you can carefully install without formatting your /home and just installing the rest [08:03] 3 partitions: /home swap and the filesystem [08:03] http://vkontakte.ru/reg21901733 [08:03] ElijahCMenifee, Sorry for the n0obness, but I could probably let you know after I ask a few friends [08:03] Desmond: ok [08:03] if you have to work in the console, vim is efficient, but if you want an editor that works graphically, as in supporting mouse clicks and having mulitple windows, then it would be stupid to not use emacs, emacs does everything a normal graphical editor does [08:04] my icq 1627277 [08:04] hi everybody [08:04] allenbradley, good point do like screen, of course I use vim(basic vi commands that I used before I learned emacs) when ssh from phone or on high latency systems [08:04] shintaro, I've always been a fan of vim-gtk [08:05] shintaro, emacs -nw? [08:05] lilzeus: and don't forget the boot partition [08:05] ElijahCMenifee, ssh from phone? You still do that? Amazing! [08:05] hey guys.. i just googled for a while but didn't succeed in finding a decent tutorial on how to rip a movie out of a blu-ray-untouched.iso.. could anyone give me a tutorial for that or so? [08:06] allenbradley, out on the road when a server goes belly up no choice ;-) [08:06] audax: what do you mean? [08:06] any one knows how to fix sleep and suspend functions on my laptop [08:07] pradeep: detail [08:07] * patbam gives up [08:07] what happened? [08:07] lilzeus: i just did a new install with these partitions - 8 gb swap; 200 mb /boot; 200 gb /home; 260 gb / [08:07] ElijahCMenifee, :) [08:08] the ' / ' partition is where the bulk of the OS goes [08:08] aka root [08:08] icarus-c: whenever i select suspend and sleep it successfully suspends/sleeps but i cant resume later.. I have to restart [08:08] I did not set mine up that way [08:08] audax, actually /usr is where the bulk goes... [08:08] just 3: /, /home and swap [08:08] but thats under / [08:09] icarus-c: It's not working from a month or so.. was working till then!! [08:09] yeh, but you'll need a small ext3 partition for the boot-loader (ie GRUB) [08:10] audax, depends on layout I guess technically everything goes under / regardless of partions [08:10] true [08:10] so I don't need extra one for boot? [08:11] lilzeus: yes you do [08:11] otherwise the bootloader won't be installed to boot into the OS [08:11] hi folks, my apt-get says its got an unresolveable issue with package list. i was wondering how I can fix it? [08:12] most newer bios, with grub should support /boot from root partion hanging at end of drive, LILO was terrible about kernel having to be in first part of disk thus the common seperate /boot partion at begining of drive [08:12] audax: I did not do that for any install of ubuntu I have used [08:12] I keep getting booted, sorry I missed your comments on vim/emacs [08:12] or installed, rather [08:13] fair enough, thanks ElijahCMenifee [08:13] how do i uninstall something that was installed with "make install"?? [08:14] hsarci, does it have a make uninstall target?

[08:16] hsarci, better yet what were you building from source? [08:16] ElijahCMenifee, Listen music player [08:16] ElijahCMenifee, where do i find the autoconf information? [08:17] is there anything besides iptables and firestarter in ubuntu? something like PF for FreeBSD would be nice [08:18] hsarci, one moment looking into the software to better answer your question, was that from www.listen-project.org and was it the latest 0.6.3? [08:19] ElijahCMenifee, yes, thank you [08:20] Hey guys, trying to get samba running on my HP netbook, which is running their variant of ubuntu 8.04. I did "sudo apt-get install samba", but I can't find a gui anywhere. anyone know how to pull one up?

[08:21] hsarci, did you use a 'PREFIX=? make install' or just a make install [08:21] How do I check if a drive is currently mounted PRIOR to executing an rsync script to that same drive? [08:21] ElijahCMenifee, just make install [08:22] Roasted: there are some commands that list mounted drives.. you could probably use the "mount" command and parse the output [08:23] hsarci, If you have a bit of time give me a few moments to look into getting everything setup for compiling/installing and Ill look into what it takes to remove the proper set of files [08:23] so i used gdmflexiserver to start another login screen on other (tty or whatever way i should say this, you know what i mean ctrl+alt+f*), anyway turns out it doesnt refresh when it is incative(that very sensible imho :D) but i need it to be less sensible and refresh(draw appearign windows, etc) even when im in other X/tty/vty/whatever, aynone imagines if such stuff is possible and how? [08:23] Slart - I have the drives mount automatically with fstab. It's just, in the event of a drive failure, I want the rsync script to fail before it can even start.t I want a day for the computer to say YES, the drive is mounted and active. Then = execute rsync command. [08:23] Roasted: cat /proc/mounts also seems useful [08:24] ElijahCMenifee, thank you so much...i will wait [08:24] Slart - Im not familiar with cat /proc/mounts... is there a how to for what Im asking>? [08:26] I am sharing a folder on one ubuntu pc using samba, but i can't find it with my other computer [08:26] boxmagnet - how are you trying to access the folder from the other pc [08:26] and what OS is on the other pc [08:26] they are both ubuntu [08:27] Roasted, by going to network [08:27] is there an edit i can make in F2 terminal window to change my resolution back to 1680x1050? i set it too low and now plasma is crashing before i can try to reset it [08:27] boxmagnet - do you then go to windows network? [08:27] Roasted, yea [08:27] but nothing shows up [08:27] have you rebooted since sharing the folder out? [08:27] i have to reboot? [08:28] try this [08:28] sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [08:28] that sounds not like linux lol [08:28] ahh there [08:28] run that in terminal. [08:28] k [08:28] Hi all. I am having some serious isses at the moment. My ubuntu system keeps crashing, occasionaly it will just close everything and log me out, other times it will just hang and the caps and scroll lock keys will flash. I am getting segfault errors in the messages when this happens. I have just rebuilt ubuntu on a new hardrive and done no updates. Example error: gnome-panel[5287]: segfault at 0 ip b7df743a sp bfc59180 error 4 in libbonobo-2.so.0.0.0[b7d [08:28] Roasted, did not work though [08:29] Roasted: not that I know of... but here's a simple idea.. first you make sure that this drive you're syncing ends up being mounted to the same folder every time.. then you create a zero length file with a special name.. something like "my_magic_file" in the root of your external drive.. last thing is to create a bash script that looks something like this "[ -e /your/mount/path/my_magic_file ] && Run_your_sync_thingy" [08:29] ubuntu 9.04, any one of any ideas? [08:29] Slart - the drives mount by fstab automatically upon each boot, so they hit the eaxct same mount point every single time. My rsync script is a bash script. I have it set up in crontab and everything. [08:30] Roasted: here's some info on the conditional stuff.. it's available in "man bash" as well but a webpage might be easier to read http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/find-out-if-file-exists-with-conditional-expressions.html [08:30] Slart - It's just... If a drive fails, I want the rsync script to fail [08:30] Slart - if a drive fails, then /media/backup simply gets linked to my root partition instead of the proper hard drive in question. [08:30] Roasted: well.. if the drive fails then your magic file won't exist any more.. and then the script won't run [08:30] Slart - which means it'll try to push 380gb to my 20 gb root partition [08:31] Roasted, any idea [08:31] boxmagnet - can you pastebin your smb.conf? [08:32] is it possible to create a cifs share on ubuntu, to view in windows? [08:32] !samba | reZo_ [08:32] reZo_: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[08:33] boxmagnet - I see your path is /home/pete/storage, does that exist? Do you have a storage folder in your home directory? === csb_ is now known as C-S-B [08:34] reZo_: read the link and you'll see [08:34] Roasted, that is a mount point [08:34] and yes. [08:34] Slart: okay thanks [08:34] it has alot of media in it [08:34] is there anything within the storage folder, or is it an empty folder [08:34] hm [08:35] do you have a samba user set up [08:36] Roasted, yea, me [08:36] do you have a windows computer you can test to connect to it? [08:36] exit [08:38] hsarci, ok I have got it compiled and installed to a special prefix, so I can find all the files... [08:38] Roasted, um yea, a vista laptop [08:38] ElijahCMenifee, thanks...take ur time [08:38] have you tried hitting your file server from the laptop? === GutturalTardMoan is now known as chriscreasy [08:39] Roasted, im on my ubuntu laptop, the server is a dell box with ubuntu, im trying to share files from my laptop to the server so i can copy my media [08:39] i can remote desktop / ssh in to the server etc [08:39] so i know it works [08:40] Right. It's jus tsomething on the samba side that's goofy. [08:40] Yet everything seems to check out... [08:40] k trying from vista [08:40] If Samba is running and active, when you hit network - windows network - you should see your file server. [08:40] in vista, hit start - run - \\your server... see if it shows up [08:41] it works [08:41] ... [08:41] what the heck [08:41] Magic [08:41] Hi folks - how easy/hard is bluetooth on Ubuntu? I think https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup is out of date. [08:41] chriswaterguy: On 9.04 (GNOME) it's easy [08:41] hsarci, could you do a `which listen` so I can figure out what the default prefix is since you did not specify one? [08:41] ElijahCMenifee, ok..one sec [08:41] chriswaterguy : Bluetooth is very easy on Ubuntu and works fine [08:42] Roasted, wait, so hit \\NCIS-SERVER [08:42] ElijahCMenifee, /usr/bin/listen [08:42] is there an edit i can make in F2 terminal window to change my resolution back to 1680x1050? i set it too low and now plasma is crashing before i can try to reset it [08:42] is NCIS-SERVER is the name of your Samba machine, yes [08:42] k does not work. [08:42] !ffmpeg [08:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about ffmpeg [08:42] boxmagnet - are these machines in the same workgroup [08:43] Roasted, should be i have never changed it, how do i check [08:43] boxmagnet - what workgroup ist he vista laptop in [08:43] does anyone know abt how to install ffmpeg in hardy ? [08:43] tred : you can change the resolution on the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to what ever u want [08:43] zega, grawity: thanks. (For now I'm using 8.10 - Crunchbang actually. But will upgrade in November.) [08:43] hello [08:44] Roasted, WORKGROUP [08:44] chriswaterguy : bluetooth has been working on ubuntu from even earlier versions... [08:44] boxmagnet - okay, thats good... your smb.conf says the samba config is set ot workgroup too... [08:44] any1 help with bind? [08:44] boxmagnet - how recently did you set up this samba machine [08:44] trying to manage 2 domain names on 1 box [08:45] Roasted, when i go to network under vista, everything shows up, the UPNP server on the ubuntu server, my xbox 360 etc. just not the share [08:45] zega, grawity: so I should be able to just put the bluetooth phone near my laptop and expect it to auto-detect? [08:45] Roasted, i installed samba today, [08:45] ok, thx, i;ll see if i can figure that out, if not back soon [08:45] boxmagnet - I see. I only ever access my samba share through start-run, so Im not familiar with seeing it through network like you describe. [08:45] (zega, grawity, anyone else who knows bluetooth): do I need to think about drivers etc? I'm using a ThinkPad R60 [08:45] chriswaterguy: if u use bluetooth-applet then you can easily set up your phone to comm. with pc. [08:46] i used wubi to install ubuntu from windows, btu the partitions got screwed up. now i want to just wipe the whole disk and install ubuntu. what'st he best way to do that? i can't figure out how to reboot from the cd, because i end up in grub [08:46] Roasted, ok [08:46] boxmagnet - Im not too sure, to be honest. Have you posted on the forums? [08:46] hi there - when I booted this laptop today, my screen resolution was limited to 1024x768 (normal is 1280x800) [08:46] I've googled a lot, tried various xrandr commands and xorg.conf modifications, but nothing fixes it [08:46] any help would be extremely appreciated [08:46] does anyone know abt how to install ffmpeg in hardy ? [08:46] chriswaterguy: if u have installed the bluetooth apps on the machine it shouldnt be an issue [08:46] Roasted, no, i just started setting up the dell box as a media server today, this was my last step, to actually copy the media to it... [08:47] hi [08:47] rmiregistry help needed..anyone? [08:47] boxmagnet - the samba daemon is running, the smb.conf checks out in my opinion, everything in the same workgroup, the share exists... [08:47] lis, what version of Ubuntu and what is rmiregistry [08:47] Roasted, does capitilization matter in workgroup, ie WORKGROUp [08:47] zega: cool, thanks! [08:47] samba is workgroup all lower case [08:47] boxmagnet - 1 sec [08:48] RPC for Java [08:48] boxmagnet - no [08:48] boxmagnet - my smb.conf is lowercase workgroup, while my win 7 behind me is all caps [08:48] Roasted, ok im stumped [08:48] boxmagnet - the only thing I can think of, and Im not sure of this, is I know windows takes a certain amount of time to acknowledge other names on the network. [08:48] 2 ubuntu machines that wont communicate... [08:48] Good day everyone , How to take picture from a windows in ubuntu (grab current window not desktop) with that brown band ? [08:49] boxmagnet - shit, forget that [08:49] boxmagnet - I forgot youre doing ubuntu/ubuntu too [08:49] BoxMagnet: NetBIOS workrgoups are case-insensitive. [08:49] um ok so where do I go from here... [08:49] grawity - what we're doing I don't think is case sensitive. [08:49] now I have to figure out if bluetooth-applet will work with LXDE... since I'll probably be using Lubuntu (or maybe Crunchbang, which is also largely LXDE-based) [08:49] grawity - since mine arent the same and mine work. [08:49] Roasted: boxmagnet - my smb.conf is lowercase workgroup, while my win 7 behind me is all caps [08:49] Roasted: Was talking about this - the case doesn't matter. [08:50] grawity - OH, you said insensitive. [08:50] grawity - my bad. its 4 am, I have no idea why I read that wrong :P [08:50] chriswaterguy: not familier with LXDE but the general apps should work on any variation imho [08:50] boxmagnet - lket me think a minute [08:50] boxmagnet - now, let me just poke at your setup here a bit. [08:50] k. [08:50] boxmagnet - that smb.conf you posted, what machine did that originate from [08:51] my ubuntu 9.10 laptop / NCIS-SERVER [08:51] boxmagnet - cause you said you were on your ubuntu laptop, yet your desktop is the server [08:51] zega: cool. How do I actually use it - just put the device near the laptop and expect something to pop up? [08:51] boxmagnet - so wait, are you on your ubuntu laptop right now? [08:51] alabd: take a full screenshot with prtsc then use gimp to cut the part u want [08:51] I want to buy a new phone, and this affects which phone I purchase. [08:51] BoxMagnet: Do you mean the remote BSOD? [08:51] cycrosism, what [08:51] BoxMagnet: Do you mean the remote BSOD? [08:51] Roasted, yes [08:51] i dont know what remote BSOD is [08:52] zega that way is not good [08:52] boxmagnet - the smb.conf is what controls your exact machine as the server. [08:52] smb is that python script thing that does the remote bsod thing on vista/win7? [08:52] or is that smbo [08:52] boxmagnet - for example, the computer I'm on RIGHT NOW is my ubuntu file server (samba). [08:52] chriswaterguy: run the bluetooth-applet on a cmd line. u will see a bluetoooth icon on your menubar. put the phone in visible mode and then right click the applet icon. And u will know what to ne next ;-) [08:52] boxmagnet - and it has its own smb.conf. [08:52] boxmagnet - my other file server, also ubuntu using samba, has its own smb.conf that sdifferent from this one [08:52] Roasted, this laptop, the one with the movies on it, is the samba server [08:53] ElijahCMenifee, I'm going to retart be right back.... [08:53] Roasted, the ubuntu server, is really the client right now [08:53] boxmagnet - aka, if your ubuntu desktop is the file server, you need to set up the desktop with samba [08:53] no. [08:53] nothing is a file server [08:53] boxmagnet - whatever has samba installed ahs the capability of acting like a server. [08:53] hsarci, ok still building file list [08:53] im just trying to copy some movies. [08:53] zega: cool! didn't realize it was so simple! (I'm a semi-newbie on Linux, complete newbie with bluetooth) [08:53] from my laptop, to my desktop [08:53] alabd: my 2 cents. its easy and takes only a few secs [08:54] boxmagnet - if you just need to share out 1 folder, did you try doing that through just right clicking the folder and sharing it out instead of using samba? [08:54] boxmagnet - because it doesnt sound like you want a true file server setup, whcih samba easily obtains [08:54] Can someone tell me why my you tube videos are black. I've installed the new Flash 10 and its just black no error message [08:54] i have a mouth-ulcer, anyone here ever direclty applied salt to a mouth-ulcer and found that it worked? [08:54] worked as in healed it [08:54] zega thanks but there is need to take photo of many windows ... any way esle ? [08:54] Roasted, can you open a PM with me please. [08:54] zega: btw, the applet thing worked [08:55] chriswaterguy: ;-) === hsarci_ is now known as hsarci [08:56] alabd: try ksnapshot. it should work [08:57] #linuxmao [08:58] Yumm... Linux flavored Mayo? [08:58] ElijahCMenifee, I'm back.... [08:59] well howdy doo [08:59] Helo im having spam coming on my msn account in pidgin basicly about sex and nudity please tell me a way to stop these messages [08:59] aaron111: Look for "Block" in menus. [08:59] aaron111: Also "Tools -> Privacy" [09:00] hsarci, have list of files creating shell script that will remove them all.... [09:00] ElijahCMenifee, awesome! thank you so much [09:00] zega: when I do setup, "device search" should detect nearby devices, right? [09:00] grawity: thanks [09:01] (zega: sorry for asking the obvious - should have checked when my brother was here with his bluetooth phone.) [09:01] buon giorno ragazzi vi posso chiedere un consiglio su quale tipo di versione ubuntu sia meglio installare [09:01] chriswaterguy: yep any device with bluetooth visibility on should be seen [09:01] ho un notebook acer aspire [09:01] chriswaterguy: no worries.. [09:02] cividale [09:02] would anyone happen to know where I can find a cheap refurbished laptop ( besides ebay) for a recipe/surf computer for my wife (installing Puppy) [09:03] too bad he quit i got tha answer [09:04] bidouli: hey man how do you deal with mouth-ulcers when you get them? [09:04] bidouli: im in alot of pain here [09:04] testing [09:04] zega thanks but that is 36 mg [09:05] depends banister [09:05] i use synthol [09:05] thanks zega! happy to find friendly responses here too. [09:05] ok, i give up. I can't understand how ubuntu 8.04 can understand/accept my 1900x1280 resolution, and 9.04 can't [09:05] when it hurts [09:06] otherwise a toothbrush is good [09:06] has anyone here had any experience setting up a Diku Mud (or any mud) on Ubuntu? [09:07] bidouli: you brush the ulcer? [09:07] I'm trying to build in some modules that I see in lsmod to play with things. When I go into make menu config I can use / and search but the lsmod names aren't the actual module names. They don't seem to correspond to exact thing in the config. So how do you go from an lsmod item and find it in the config list? [09:07] xrandr: whant kind of video card are you using? and which ubuntu is currently running? [09:08] HazeFaze: Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS, Ubuntu 9.04 [09:08] which driver have you installed? [09:09] nvidia [09:09] but i wonder, if there's a way to update that driver [09:09] with the help of the "restricted driver" panel? [09:10] HazeFaze: which is where? [09:10] how did you install? [09:10] HazeFaze: via cd [09:10] downloaded the cd, installed [09:11] I mean the nvidia driver how was it installed [09:11] does anyone have any experience installing Diku Mud (or any mud) on Ubuntu? [09:11] HazeFaze: it was installed by ubuntu when it installed the OS [09:12] xrandr: the panel should be in System>admin>Restricted drivers manager [09:13] can you please check if there is anything marked or greyed out [09:13] im in kde, hang on [09:13] no wait [09:13] I'll take that as a "no".... [09:13] in kde you can start sudo jockey-kde [09:14] ok [09:14] Mocs: maybe you point your question more to the problem than asking for experience [09:14] it is starting [09:14] HazeFaze: it shows 2 nvidia drivers [09:14] version 173, and 180 [09:14] its using 180.. [09:15] ok thats normally okay [09:15] should i try 173? [09:15] maybe, but first deinstall the driver [09:16] the 180 one? [09:16] yes, just to be sure there is no conflict [09:17] otherwise you should check to install the linux driver packages from the nvidia web page [09:17] in what color should a windows be to have a best black-white print in book paper ? [09:18] downloading and installing [09:19] at xrandr if 173 does not work check this howto -> http://iainbuclaw.wordpress.com/2009/09/29/howto-manually-compile-nvidia-drivers-in-ubuntu/ [09:20] alabd: why not to a screenshot, convert to black and white in gimp and see what it looks like... anything more advanced you would need to ask the printing people instead [09:21] How do you restart samba with samba4? the regular command does nothing. [09:21] does anybody know why i get this when i first start firefox: http://twitpic.com/m03pq ? [09:21] xrandr: after the 173 gets installed you have to restart the X server or reboot the host to be sure the new module gets loaded [09:21] join ubuntu-es [09:21] thanks start [09:21] thanks slart [09:22] HazeFaze: thanks [09:22] Roasted, lol full reboot worked [09:22] ......... [09:22] Roasted: samba4 isn't part of ubuntu..yet, you may want to ask in #samba [09:22] boxmagnet - gotta love it :P [09:22] Roasted, not rly, pretty windows-esque [09:22] boxmagnet - I got curious and installed samba4, and now I cant get my windows box to recognize it. [09:22] Roasted, hah. [09:22] lorin: you might want to specify what is wrong with that picture... [09:22] boxmagnet - well, you have to realize, you installed server-service. It's not exactly a light duty app. [09:23] how can use linphone [09:23] Roasted, ah. now my remote desktop the the other box is not working... laugh [09:23] boxmagnet - whenever you make changes in samba, 90% of the time they work instantly. The other 10% require a service reboot in terminal. [09:23] restart* [09:23] boxmagnet - lol, did you reboot the desktop? [09:23] yea [09:23] is it logged in? [09:23] any idea for linphone [09:23] arg [09:24] i didnt manually log it in, [09:24] going to have to make it do that. [09:24] Slart: Instead of flash player i get only a download link, which is not working [09:24] boxmagnet - I was just about to ask that. I had that happent o me too. [09:24] zmagry: hav you installed linphone already? [09:24] boxmagnet - I gotta reboot. I need to see if rebooting fixes my samba4 problem. [09:24] Roasted, its going to be headless [09:24] lorin: is the flash player installed? [09:24] Roasted, k [09:24] yes [09:24] Slart: yes, it is installed [09:25] i most to rconfig sip 4 or 6 i dont no [09:26] lorin: what version of the flash player? you can check in about:plugins [09:27] hazefaze: you speak german? [09:27] im not gud in englich [09:27] Slart: This seems to wappen only on the first start of firefox after boot, if i close and start firefox again it is working fine [09:27] boxmagnet - now that I got curious and moved to samba4, my shit doesnt work :P [09:27] !de [09:27] 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. [09:27] Roasted, sorry dude. [09:28] Slart: It is 10.0.32.18 [09:28] boxmagnet - Im sure its something Im overlooking [09:28] Roasted, yea, and i thought moving to linux meant no more rebooting to solve stupid problems --- wrong [09:28] Hi to all, i had a problem with resolution on my laptop with Ubuntu 9.04 and now i can't select the previous settings (no more in the menu). Anyone know hot to restore the installation values? Thanks alot [09:28] lorin: hmm.. that is odd.. there's nothing in the syslog about any errors? segfaults or similar? [09:28] boxmagnet - dont let one time fool you. I never reboot linux. Ever. [09:29] boxmagnet - rebooting one time to get samba rolling isnt anything too comparative of windows [09:29] Roasted, when that desktop gets setup completely im plugging it in to a battery backup and its not going down for 1yr [09:29] Roasted: wow.. you're running Ubuntu ... 6.06 ? [09:29] =) [09:29] slart - no? [09:29] what is he talking about [09:29] boxmagnet - Im sure you could have rebooted all of the services in terminal if you knew what they were [09:29] no idea [09:29] yea but thats a waste of time [09:30] but when youre rebooting youre rebooting all services anyway [09:30] exactly. [09:30] dude when my girl got her brand new vista laptop [09:30] it had to be rebooted 7 TIMES [09:30] before it was done updating [09:30] oh yes, its a pain in the ass [09:30] I had similar findings with win 7 [09:30] Roasted, is it better than vista? cause she has a free upgrade disk on the way [09:31] i never touch her laptop, cant stand vista. [09:31] boxmagnet - I like 7 more than vista, but I like xp more than 7 [09:31] yea..... dont get me started on how xp which is like 10 years old now? is better than vista. [09:31] BoxMagnet, Roasted, your moving quickly off topic. [09:31] sum1 help me [09:31] wahhhhh [09:32] Jeruvy, so? you see anyone in here [09:32] hsarci, have script written, now to do some testing before I turn it loose (do not want to make mistakes while removing files...) [09:32] Roasted, funny part is, i wasted all ur time if i had just rebooted when it did not work the first time LOL [09:32] boxmagnet - just make sure of a few things when youre in here... if you're talking about samba on ubuntu, too bad, go to the samba chat. If you're talking about network troubleshooting on ubuntu, too bad, go to the network troubleshooting chat. If you need help with an intel driver for ubuntu, too bad, go to the intel driver chat. [09:33] yea people take stuff too far. [09:33] ElijahCMenifee, cool thanks!! [09:33] boxmagnet - for every fricken problem in here, you should be in the chat for it, lol? [09:33] Roasted, when people tell me to go to +1 i just ignore them. [09:33] boxmagnet - its all good. I had a feeling that when you were setting up samba for the first time that a reboot may have been necessary === jc is now known as Guest34927 [09:34] boxmagnet - but the truth is I installed samba like forever ago so I forgot what I had done sicne then. Plus since I dual boot (gamer) I reboot often enough to not even notice if a reboot would have helped me [09:34] Roasted, sounds like you need a dedicated linux box [09:35] boxmagnet - money talks, man [09:35] I have my 360 for games. [09:35] Re "you see anyone in here" - there might be helpful folks ready to answer questions... staying on Ubuntu related chat seems like a reasonable request. [09:35] wahhhhh [09:35] chriswaterguy, i have spent hours in here helping people my self [09:35] !ot | Roasted [09:35] Roasted: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:35] so i'm ok.

[09:37] Slart: Under log, syslog seems to be good, but syslog.1 is displaying lots of things but i can't understand all of them [09:37] self-promo and defensiveness are indeed hogging up the screen [09:38] Roasted, im in bed now lol so im not going to go login the other pc, but if i can see it under network in this computer then its working i guess? [09:38] boxmagnet - I guess it was a samba4 thing. [09:38] boxmagnet - I just put the older samba in and it worked on the fly without even rebooting the service [09:38] xide: Inappropriate here, kthx. [09:38] lorin: syslog should be the most recent one.. so if you're not seeing anything in there it should be ok.. I have to run now so I can't help you any further, try asking the channel again [09:39] Roasted, the .conf ? [09:39] or the package [09:39] boxmagnet - the .conf never changed. [09:39] boxmagnet - just the package. [09:39] Roasted, i backed my .conf up haha. [09:39] boxmagnet - in synaptic it auto prompted me about the packages that would be installed or removed. [09:39] Slart: ok, thank you very much :) bye [09:39] Hi to all, i had a problem with resolution on my laptop with Ubuntu 9.04 and now i can't select the previous settings (no more in the menu). Anyone know hot to restore the installation values? Thanks alot [09:39] boxmagnet - oh I do too. I backed mine up before I even touched samba4, but it didnt wipe it anyway so I was good either way [09:40] matteo1990, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [09:42] hello everyone I wonder if anyone in here can help me or point me to a how to [09:42] I have a digitalnow dual digital pci tuner I need it running in ubuntu 9.04 so I can then configure it in mythtv [09:43] minik: mythtv and vdr have a support-database for tv-cards imo [09:44] yeah but it isn't working in ubuntu to start with [09:44] has anyone ever installed koalamud? [09:44] minik: and the support-database tells how to install it or it tells its not working [09:45] link? I have spent the past 2 days googling [09:45] I tried to sudo apt-get it, like the info says, but it says package not found... but the direct link works... [09:45] minik: google mythtv support-database [09:45] minik: have no browser here so i cant search for you [09:46] anyone have any idea why apt-get wouldn't find it? [09:46] ElijahCMenifee, restarting again [09:47] Mocs: apt-cache search koalamud says there is nothing that sounds like koalamud in jaunty [09:48] Mocs: and the koala sounds like 9.10 [09:48] Something that I did broke my ability to play videos. I'd like a troubleshooting scheme, so I can fix it. I'm running Jaunty. Any video meister online? [09:49] Is the Synaptic package necessary in Ubuntu 9.10 given that now one has Ubuntu Software Center? [09:49] huh... well koalamud WAS available for dapper... here is the link I found it on, and the links ARE active... would it be possible that it was ONLY for dapper? http://packages.ubunut.com/en/dapper/i386/koalamud/download [09:49] !info koalamud [09:49] Package koalamud does not exist in jaunty [09:50] !info koalamud dapper [09:50] koalamud (source: koala): distributed MUD server.

I have a lot of troubleshooting down and can list them, but I wanted to make sure I'm in a good spot. [10:14] hi all [10:15] question: I need to change the home-directory for a user; I tried usermod -d /new/home $username but this didn't worked out [10:15] I think it might have to do with the fact that the only have hardy urls in my software sources list [10:15] StockBrian: nmap -p 5900 serveradress from the client says what?

[10:16] icarus-c: usermod -m??? [10:17] arl: first assign the new home with usermod, then move the /home/$OLDHOME to /home/$NEWHOME [10:17] arl: usermod just change the /etc/passwd file afaik [10:17] Iceroot: forgive me, I'm a bit new to Linux. tried what you said in terminal but "nmap" isn't installed. What did I miss? [10:17] how can i get the lastest PHP, MySQL and Apache versions with apt-get? [10:18] StockBrian: install nmap if you want to use nmap [10:18] my shit works, it works!!! [10:18] VNC problem: Two identical laptops can connect with UltraVNC through WinXP just fine. One laptop has the Non-partitioned Ubuntu install 9.04 (jaunty) and I"m trying to use inlcuded VNC to connect to XP (and vice versa, neither works) [10:19] and I have NO idea why!! [10:19] these instructions worked for me: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades [10:19] I will prove it, watch this! [10:19] Dr_Willis: Thanks, that wasn't the source problem though.

[10:21] !yay | lilzeus [10:21] lilzeus: Glad you made it! :-) [10:21] all I did was disconnect the drive, install Debian on another drive, plug them both back in, and now this install of Ubuntu is working! [10:21] maybe Ubuntu got jealous that I had installed Debian, and decided to fix itself [10:22] iceroot: Should I go get nmap then? [10:22] lilzeus, ...............

[10:23] hmm strange, it seems that the user uses his new home-dir but when I ran cronjobs with $HOME in the cmd the job still uses the old home [10:23] errr [10:23] you are asking me?? [10:23] lilzeus, pastebin /etc/network/interfaces [10:23] no. [10:24] (What is good policy?) How long do I wait before I repeat a question in this forum? [10:24] is there a better weather app for the panel? [10:24] if I have a pc suddenly getting stuck booting grub menu and drops back to grub prompt, how do I see what's failing ? [10:24] pastebin?

[10:25] lilzeus, i dont know how to explain your situation [10:26] me either [10:26] hipitihop: it usually gives an error mesg with a numeric code. that can be looked up in the web [10:26] StockBrian: To get nmap, sudo apt-get install nmap -- it's in repository.

[10:29] I have a question ! [10:29] StockBrian: And avoid pasting a lot of text to the channel. One line or two is okay, but for more there's http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [10:30] fefi: Then just ask. [10:30] how to install fgrun-1.5.1 ? [10:30] StockBrian, you don't need nmap to test a 1 port service, just telnet to the vnc port nr [10:30] grawity: Thanks again- I'll get this right before long. =) Forgive a newb, but what does -PN do? [10:30] can anyone help me modify grub for a dual boot? [10:30] Can i record Tv Programs from a Tv? I have an hard disk with this feature but i dunno how to pick an output from the tv... Any tips? [10:31] lilzeus: i don't think so [10:31] StockBrian, and btw, you did try to ping the host first, right ? [10:31] StockBrian: Tells nmap to skip the "is host up?" checks (which sometimes fail), and go directly to portscanning. [10:31] lilzeus, you do know there is no way that fixed the problem [10:31] lilzeus: you want to add windows ? [10:31] erUSUL: debian [10:31] how to install fgrun-1.5.1 ? [10:32] joaopinto: You lost me. Come again? [10:32] erUSUL: no, I have 2 hd, this one has ubuntu, the other has Debian installed [10:32] StockBrian, did you checked connectivity between the vnc client and server with a "ping host" ? [10:32] Yes, pinging all directions from all sources works. [10:32] lilzeus: so which disk is now the the first disk [10:32] VNC from XP in both directions works from Ultra VNC as well. [10:32] icarus-c: this one [10:32] please help me [10:32] icarus-c: so you want to use ubuntu managed grub to boot debian... just make and stanza like the ubuntu ones but changing the kernel and initrd lines to match the debian install [10:33] StockBrian, but it fails with the stock vnc from the same system ? [10:33] lilzeus: it is rather easy, disk1 = hd(0,X) disk2= hd(1,X) [10:33] lilzeus: and you have MBR on disk 1 right? [10:33] lilzeus: i mean MBR with grub stage1 [10:33] yes [10:33] help me! please ! [10:33] lilzeus: and disk 1 is ubuntu? [10:33] I just power up and here I am [10:33] It only fails with the jaunty VNC (it's possible I don't know how to use it right, feel free to assume idiot) [10:33] yes [10:34] StockBrian, telnet vnc_server_ip 5900 [10:34] I did a 'sudo apt-get update' and got this message 'W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org jaunty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 [10:34] W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems [10:34] I added this public key to my key ring, and got the same message. Where to from here? [10:34] Joaopinto, sorry, I should be addressing you. [10:34] lilzeus: i see 2 ways to fix your problem. #1 modify the grub menu.lst on ubunut(disk1) to add an entry for debian. #2 chainload to disk2 [10:34] StockBrian, with telnet you can check connectivity to a specific port [10:34] StockBrian, 5900's is VNCs default port nr [10:34] I will take #1 please :) [10:35] FTW...ugh, somebody slap me for using that [10:35] lilzeus: well, study the grub menu.lst on the debian system then [10:36] lilzeus: actually, you can save yourself from this if you didn't install debian with disk1 unplugged :P [10:36] !gpgerr | stercor [10:36] how to install this file:///home/fefi/Desktop/fgrun-1.5.1 [10:36] stercor: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories?

I was typing the nmap command wrong. NMAP reports 5900/tcp poen vnc [10:36] er...open [10:36] yeah, too late!! [10:36] icarus-c: so I study it, how? and then what? [10:37] StockBrian, its 5901 [10:37] I'll try 5901 also. [10:37] trust me [10:37] erUSUL: Thanks! I'll do it! [10:37] if ur trying to vnc, it will be 5901 [10:37] er... even in XP BoxMagnet? [10:37] hello [10:37] VNC problem Linux Client to XP Server. [10:37] lilzeus: um.. copy the title debian to disk1 's menu.lst and modify hd(0,X) to hd(1,X) // replace X with proper value [10:38] lilzeus: BACKUP BEFORE YOU OVERWRITE [10:38] icarus-c, is he running the old grub [10:38] icarus-c, better remember it starts from 0 [10:38] how do I find out? [10:39] StockBrian, so it's not a network issue [10:39] StockBrian, what error do you get ? [10:39] lilzeus: um.. keep X with the original value should be good [10:39] lilzeus: is your ubuntu on hd(0 or 1 ? [10:39] sry [10:40] ah [10:40] ok [10:40] so, I am looking at the menu.lst for disk1 here [10:41] joaopinto, Whoa.. now it works.. the only change was installing nmap.... weird or understandable? [10:41] so, you are saying, copy the title section from the disk2 to this one, on disk1? [10:41] StockBrian, it is not related to nmap in anyway [10:41] file:///usr/share/gnome/help/system-admin-guide/C/system-admin-guide.xml#_auto-gen-id-38 gives me answer after all to menu sorting [10:41] by [10:42] Ok, well just like at the Auto Repair Shop.. once it works, I can't figure out why it wasn't. [10:42] lilzeus, you also BETTER remember that version of grub counts from 0, so if ur hd is 1, to grub its 0 [10:42] My release is Jaunty. Is there a more current release, or when is the next release coming out? [10:42] :P [10:42] sry [10:42] StockBrian, something else changed [10:42] lilzeus: Yes [10:42] joaopinto, Thanks for the attention. [10:42] yw :) [10:42] hello [10:42] I dont see any entries in these 'title' sections that use that hdm,n nomenclature [10:42] lilzeus: and then modify the debian (disk2) entry [10:43] HazeFaze: still no go. all i get is 1368x768 [10:43] joaopinto, the only error was "failed to connect to server" from XP to Linux, and "5900 is closed" from Linux to XP. However, both directions work now. [10:43] * BoxMagnet is glad he is using the new grub, and UUID [10:44] anyone here running amarok on gnome?? [10:44] * xrandr is fuming at 9.04 [10:44] how to install fgrun? [10:44] hsarci, I've got gnome, however I'm pretty new. [10:45] well im asking about if anyone is currenty running an application called "amarok" on gnome, amarok is a kde application so it doens't quit mesh too well with gnome [10:45] hsarci: kde applications works fine in gnome [10:46] BlouBlou, yeah but everyone time launch amarok it launches all these other unnessarcy processes that show up in the task bar and stall for about a minute [10:46] ok, so I have copied the title section from the debian(disk2) menu.lst, I need the root value to be 'hd1,0', correct? [10:46] that would be the 2nd hd, first partition [10:47] which is where Debian is located [10:47] hsarci, what version of ubuntu [10:47] bazhang, 9.10 [10:47] lilzeus: yea, hdX,Y where X = ubuntu's +1 and Y = original [10:48] the grub for ubuntu does not have a 'root' value [10:48] lilzeus: But it has 'uuid'. [10:48] Which is a little more reliable. [10:48] uuid = a bazillian characters [10:50] ok, I made a backup of ubuntu's grub file [10:50] just called it menu.lst.backup [10:51] Next VNC issue: (issue is true in both directions) VNC Connection from XP to XP is fast and clean, however (same system) connection from XP to Linux or vise versa is very slooow and choppy. Thoughts on a fix? [10:51] how do I edit the other one for disk2/debian? [10:52] for the ubuntu one, I used sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:52] do we have a channel where you can give/get advice on packages for ubuntu (eg. if you're looking for an alternative to rhythmbox)?

[11:10] bazhang: I thought (and preferred) it to be gnome. [11:11] hello [11:11] stercor, icewm and gnome are not the same [11:11] tailwhip: yes, kde applications will appear in gnome, and gnome's in kde [11:11] tailwhip: you will get alot of apps in your menus...and its hard to take away, but if you have the disk space its always good to have different choices [11:12] how do i find out what the specs of my hardware is [11:12] bazhang: I know that.

[11:14] tailwhip: unless you have serious issues with patience it should be a problem [11:14] icewm!=metacity!=compuwiz but I believe all three WMs are gnome [11:14] Hi, how can I prevent any applications from stealing the focus? It's always like this: I start and switch the focus to the terminal, then I start with the su command and while I'm typing the password, steals the focus; consequently I don't know what characters are written and what are missing. [11:14] it's extremely annoying because it happens all day [11:14] I want to grab the fucking computer and throw it out of the window [11:14] tailwhip: if your on 9.04 yes, but i have had trouble with removing it from 9.10.....some of the packages are different [11:14] ElijahCMenifee: watch your language [11:14] ElijahCMenifee: wrong nick sorry [11:15] el_adapter: see above [11:15] el_adapter, what ubuntu version? [11:15] @xguru: how? what if i want to mass uninstall kubuntu-desktop related packages? [11:15] ElijahCMenifee: the most recent version. I'm using the Terminal application with fluxbox in it and the problem occurrs when running also GTK and QT apps. [11:16] 8.04 had a nasty steal focus bug maybee it needs regression testing [11:16] how od i make the stright up and down symbol [11:17] tailwhip: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [11:17] tailwhip: just copy and paste the top line [11:17] @xguru: excellent. many thanks. [11:17] ElijahCMenifee: for example I start opera in the Terminal by typing 'opera &' in there. Then I switch the focus using the ALT+TAB shortcut to Terminal and five seconds later Opera steals the focus from the Terminal and opens some kind of 'Would you like to update to Opera 10? Opera 10 is out!' dialog. [11:18] tailwhip, what version of ubuntu [11:18] tailwhip: no problem [11:19] anyone? [11:19] wad up [11:19] el_adapter, I am reviewing the bug but not sure if what you are complaining about is the same as the bug, does blackbox have an option for focus follows mouse? [11:20] ElijahCMenifee: I think it does [11:20] el_adapter: What WM is fluxbox using? Just "fluxbox"? [11:20] grawity: yes [11:20] el_adapter: Then google for "fluxbox focus stealing prevention". It depends completely on the WM, not GTK or anything. [11:20] fluxbox is the WM [11:20] grawity: fluxbox is a Window Manager and I googled [11:20] grawity: but the problem is I found nothing === bambam is now known as Guest90347 [11:21] Hi. [11:21] If I was in a rude mood, I'd say I found a fu**ing sh*t [11:21] The intel xorg video drivers were updated yesterday. No good idea, because they're broken at least for i386. [11:21] hello,everyone [11:22] it has been about 4 years since I last used fluxbox,blackbox,or enlightenment...but usually if a WM has option for focus follows mouse the only window that will ever have focus is the one your mouse is over [11:22] hello, how can I share a USB modem over my network? I am using wvdial to connect.

Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [11:25] bazhang: Okay, to go into deeper detail: With the drivers so far, you had some limitations, mainy speed issues. But you saw all of your desktop [11:25] sda1: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional feature (240) [11:25] el_adapter: do not use closed source software. [11:25] el_adapter: Because your very simple WM (fluxbox) does not have focus stealing prevention. [11:25] erUSUL: It happens with _all_ programs, not just Opera. [11:25] bankix, I would definitely file a bug; do you know how to do so? it has changed a bit [11:25] bazhang: With the driver from yesterday, the desktop is unusable. The size of the desktop is doubled horizontally, so you only see the left part of your desktop. [11:26] bankix, sounds horrific [11:26] can i get free ubunt merch [11:26] Is horrific [11:26] who was helping me with that dual boot?

[11:29] el_adapter: You don't need to go 100% GNOME just to use Metacity or Compiz. [11:29] grawity: I am a bit wondering, is it possible to run only the Terminal in Gnome or KDE and disable all the bloated useless crap? [11:30] el_adapter: Right now I am using Xfce's xfwm4 with xfce4-panel and GNOME's Metacity window manager. [11:30] el_adapter: (And gnome-terminal.) [11:31] grawity: OK, I can imagine high memory usage by those applications. [11:31] el_adapter: Not at all. [11:31] I used to use them myself with Slackware [11:31] el_adapter: I'm running on 256 MB, right. I wouldn't use anything memory-intensive. [11:31] grawity: wow [11:32] grawity: can you also disable all the panels and menu bars? [11:32] bazhang: It worked! Now, how do I make another desktop or two? [11:32] el_adapter: Of course. Just make {gnome,xfce4}-panel not start. === jade is now known as Guest20630 [11:33] can someone look at this: http://pastebin.com/m3385eed2 and explain why the debian boot has mount failures?

[11:34] erUSUL: That's a fluxbox setting? [11:34] stercor, the cube type, or the workspace type [11:34] erUSUL: But I have 'session.screen0.autoRaise: false [11:34] grawity: yep; probably need to be acompanied with --> session.screen0.clickRaises: true [11:35] bazhang: Workspace. What's the cube type? [11:35] erUSUL: I have session.screen0.clickRaises: true [11:35] el_adapter: then nevermind it does not do what i think it would [11:35] erUSUL: I think that QT and GTK apps have to be configured on some other place [11:35] erUSUL: they have some qt-config and gtk-config, right? [11:36] el_adapter: This does not depend on Qt or GTK, I think. [11:36] I don't want any application to ever take over the focus. It must be configurable somewhere. [11:36] el_adapter: the window manager is the one responsible for windows behavior. gui toolkits do not know a wit about windows [11:37] stercor, the workspace type is right click preferences and up the number, the cube is install compizconfig-settings-manager and do it there [11:37] el_adapter: Yeah, in the WM. [11:37] Hi, is there an example for the use of lircd to send a keypress to a specific window (which has not neccessarily the focus).

[11:45] erUSUL, mgolisch: no, it's with other apps, too [11:45] it takes more time to react to input [11:46] what apps? [11:46] boscop, please some error messages or specify in detail [11:46] starting time for apps is also more than on xp [11:46] boscop: the flash plugin can be a bitch.. just create a launcher with the following command "killall -9 npviewer.bin /usr/lib/opera/operapluginwrapper-ia32-linux /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so" [11:46] boscop: that'll kill both the flash plugin for firefox and for opera [11:46] toxic: use it with all the commands you want us to read the output. that will make give al the messages in the original language (english) [11:47] linux and flash, what a nightmare [11:47] erUSUL: ok, thx ! [11:47] I noticed when I do nothing, only have xchat, emacs and opera running (10 tabs, no flash), on windows it is at nearly 4%, on ubuntu it's 35% [11:47] ./server irc.tophi.biz /server irc.tophi.biz [11:47] ./server irc.tophi.biz [11:47] ./server irc.tophi.biz [11:47] ./server irc.tophi.biz [11:47] ./server irc.tophi.biz [11:47] ssssss: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[11:50] when I look at the system monitor, it is the highest prog, with ~17%, opera has 10%, the rest <= 2. the sum of them is often smaller than the cpu load displayed in the graph!!! [11:50] ye, its works [11:50] and opening a terminal is 6 secs [11:50] I'm an idiot [11:50] boscop: chances are it's the flash plugin for opera... the launcher that i gave you will kill it... i click on it as soon as i hear the fan on my computer coming on :P [11:50] turned out to be a chmod issue [11:51] the latest flash update actually fixed my problems with npviewer.bin using 100% of cpu time on a single core [11:51] Hello, could one of you guys help me set up the optical audio output on my linux pc, i am pritty lost :D [11:51] Optical out?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [12:21] hi, I'm trying to change my password for my user acc. Unfortunatley it does not work. I can change the password but when I log in with the new password it results in a black screen which does never go away. I encrypted my home directory during the install. Maybe it has to do something with that? [12:21] alabd: What fails? Maybe you could give a bit more detail... [12:22] Ingrater: Are you using Karmic? [12:22] LeonBrussels: BlouBlou whenever it starts installing ... in 5% step it fails .. [12:22] alabd: What error? [12:23] LeonBrussels: no error just windows closes .. [12:23] karmic? I'm using ubunt 9.04 [12:23] Ingrater: No idea... Can you still log in with your old password? [12:24] jrib: no... the http page that had the link to where I downloaded it... is now an error... not a good sign from the beginning [12:24] if I change the password back to the old one I can log in with the old one again and it works [12:25] it has do to something with the encrypted home directory [12:26] LeonBrussels: but while partitioning manualy however home partition is 3 gig it says /home does not have enough space ... what do u think ? [12:26] hello all [12:26] php5 settings in ubuntu januty are confusing me [12:26] Ingrater: Hm, no idea really... You could check if there is something in the syslog... [12:27] extensions are loaded and working fine but no mention to to most of them in php.ini [12:27] Hello everyone, fresh install of Jaunty 64 bit on custom build from a barebones kit (AMD Athlon 64 x2 on Biostar all in one board). I'm having a problem with both hibernate and suspend. When I chose either of them from the shutdown box in GNOME (or run pm-suspens pm-hibernate in terminal) it seems to work okay, but instead of turning off or remaining in sleep mode, it wakes back up. I can't find any errors in any of the logs, so what gives? All recen [12:27] how would I do that? [12:27] could you please show me how to auto mount a linux partition? [12:27] Ingrater: sudo cat /var/log/syslog [12:28] I think [12:28] where do they get loaded and configured from? extension_dir directive is altogether commented out [12:28] alabd: You could try installing to a bigger drive and see if it works then... Pinpoint the problem [12:28] will this syslog still be there after a reboot? [12:28] Ingrater: [12:29] LeonBrussels: with automotic partitioning it also have problem and fails at 5% [12:30] the problem is when the screen wents black I can't do anything. I can't switch to a console ore anything else the system is simple stuck [12:30] Ingrater: no, but you can switch to another term. WHile the screen is black, press ctrl-alt-f1 and you will get a login shell in text. there you can cat the syslog and see whats wrong [12:30] I mean that [12:30] Ingrater: You can't even switch to a console? That's weird [12:30] wenn I press ctlr-alt-f1 there stands "Loading please wait...." [12:30] try f2 [12:30] try hitting F2 in that command instead of F1 [12:31] jully2: fix your connection already :P [12:31] black with blinking crusor in left top [12:31] f3? probably the same... [12:31] if tried everything. With f7 i get back to black screen with mouse pointer all others are the same [12:31] you switch between all 7 terminals with ctrl alt and the match F key [12:32] weird === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [12:32] it has to do something with the encryption [12:32] is there a console command to change the login password of the keyring? [12:33] LeonBrussels: it has been solved with not installing from live part ... [12:33] @LeonBrussles what you mean? [12:33] I have to reintall using the alternate cd? [12:34] If you are trying to install on anything not considered 'normal' [12:34] is RAID, LVM, encryped patitions, and anyother uncommon configs, you need the alt isntall disk [12:34] how to install google chrome on ubuntu hardy-heron? [12:35] lol [12:35] if I know it right I installed from the alternate cd, because I installed ubuntu on a usb-drive [12:35] you running from USB instead of normal hard drive? [12:35] yep [12:35] was quiet difficult to get it running because the pc can not boot from a usb-drive [12:36] ???? === tumii- is now known as tumii [12:36] Ingrater: I only know of the passwd command... Otherwise I don't really know.... I am oonly digging round in some blog posts atm that explain how this could be possible... [12:36] ot working its says grub:( now [12:36] if the thing wont boot from usb natively, then thats a clue [12:36] not** [12:36] I burned the kernel and the usb-drivers to a cd and after this is loaded he mounts in the usb-drive and does the rest of the booting [12:36] does work quiet good [12:37] and it works on any pc with a cd drive + usb support [12:37] and what exactly are you having problem with? [12:37] I simply want to change the password of my user acc [12:37] because I want to have a stornger password [12:38] and you in GNOME? [12:38] but when I do that it wents to black screen right after I typed in the correct password [12:38] yup [12:38] if I change back to the old password it works again [12:38] Ingrater: There is something here: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/09/encrypted-home-now-offerred-at.html I says that if you change the password from the root account it doesn't update the encryption password [12:38] That sounds more like a corrupt program problem than a config problem [12:38] jrib: ok, it's back up.... [12:38] jrib: if you are still around? [12:39] Mocs: back in 5 (watching something) [12:39] In the comments there is a discussion about changing passwords... [12:39] jrib: kk... gimme a ping [12:39] Ingrater, log in as yourself and then open a terminal and use passwd [12:39] i boot W7 from the first disk, and grub from the third, how do i add W7 to grub menu? [12:40] Can anyone help me with my hibernate suspend problem? [12:40] @Mechdave. I did that but when I do that after relogin it crashes [12:40] ingrater, you probably need to try reinstalling and retracing your steps [12:41] it's a running system. It's not my system it is used for work. I can not simply reinstall it [12:42] Oh so this is in a workplace? [12:42] well then call their tech support and pass the headache [12:43] its a workplace, but im kind of the tech support ^^ [12:43] private workplace [12:43] well it sounds you must of did something along to way to make system unusable [12:44] again, it sounds like something got corrupted [12:44] maybe try another desktop? like LXDE? [12:44] why isn't songbird available in repositories? [12:45] well thanks for your help, but I think I will leave everything as is [12:45] not an expert here, so sorry if i cant help [12:46] (if there are any certified experts in here, please raise your hands) [12:46] I think its a quite new feature so no one yet tried to change the password [12:46] jrib: got it... modified /etc/apt/sources.list to include the site where I downloaded it, ran aptitude, reloaded the list, and it showed up for autoinstall [12:46] as it is only aviable when using the alternate installer [12:46] Mocs: cool [12:46] then again, I have no clue exactly what you tried to do to your system [12:47] I smiply wanted to have secure data [12:47] then you should have settled for simple password protected archives [12:48] and pack / extract each time I want to work something with my machine? [12:49] Not really [12:49] file-roller, the default archiver in GNOME seems to have the ability to write back to the archive [12:49] I'm living in germany and the politicans here do really unfunny things concerning ones data safty === banisterfiend is now known as banister`sleep [12:51] just don't close file-roller while your working on one of the files in the archive click the update (may not be called that) in archiver after saving the file [12:52] If you are worried about security, and you have a ton of expert level knowledge on linux, you would do much better with Arch [12:52] as I said, I leave everything as is because it works. The only disatvantage is that I can not change the password [12:52] but I don't have tons of linux export knowdelge [12:52] ^^ [12:53] Personally, I have always had problems with encrypted anything [12:54] again, sorry I couldn't help you [12:55] it's okay. It happens often to me that I try to do things that no one tried to do before [12:56] It's kind of funny [12:56] I put linux on a toaster once [12:56] pico itx board [12:56] well that I hadn't tried yet [12:56] ^^ [12:57] could you start tosting over the internet then? ^^ [12:57] |ot [12:57] !ot [12:57] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

I cant find anything in the logs, everything works after suspend/hibernate, its jsut that the thing won't power off/sleep [12:58] it pops back up immediately [12:59] phoenixandthor: have you looked at the suspend debug docs? [12:59] arand: link please! :) [13:00] may or may not have tried them [13:01] for the record, my logs don't show any errors [13:01] phoenixandthor: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend & http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3066404 has some stuff on that... [13:01] *browsing* [13:02] I'd like to ask you people one thing: I've always used Windows (currently Vista) and I'd like to try out Ubuntu. I see the new version of it (9.10) is coming out in 11 days and that's why I'd like to ask is it a bad idea to install 9.04 and NOT wait to 9.10? Is 9.10 so much superior? I've read the "new features" and release changes, but I'm not a computer pro, so they weren't that clear to me, like "hal something" [13:03] Chertograd: you can upgrade to 9.10 once it is released (though it will take a couple of hours) [13:03] Install 9.04 now [13:03] irc.ncore.cc [13:03] wait a few months to try 9.10 [13:03] then most bugs will be fixed by then in 9.10 [13:03] you can also upgrade directly from 9.04 to 9.10 [13:04] if you coming straight from windows, try 9.04 first to get a feel for linux [13:04] 8.4 is cool ? phoen , hardy heron i start with [13:04] phoenixandthor: Thank you :) And I'm a total newbie with linuxes. I'd like to ask is it true that Ubuntu is really simplistic (not in features, but usability) ? I seriously don't know anything about consoles/terminals or anything and I've also heard that drivers can sometimes be an issue [13:05] how do I permit showing all hidden and system files and folders in nautilus? [13:05] Once I tried out Ubuntu (an old version), but for some reason the webcam stayed 24/7 on, and the same for my usb-mouse and keyboard... Are these fixed? [13:05] how can i change tab width (\t, tab stop; not tab as in tabbed browsing)? [13:05] damn it.... i found a direct link to download chrome. but it was only 500k. i hate active installer. collects info about my system [13:06] Chertograd: there's high chance of that, to make sure you'll have to try it out for yourself [13:07] how do I ssh to server, server is listening ssh requests on port 8888 instead 22 [13:07] tehbaut: press ctrl+h or open View>show hiiden files [13:07] tehbaut: ^H [13:07] Splendid: man ssh should tell you about the right switch for port. I think it's -p [13:07] those aren't showing me the files that I swear are on this cd [13:07] so ssh user@domain_ip doesn't work [13:07] jrib tnx I will try now [13:08] Splendid: ssh -p 8888 user@host [13:08] Splendid: i'd try user@domain:ip, as in url - this would shorten the notation a bit should there be such a shorthand [13:09] I also mounted the iso, still not seeing the hidden filles/folders (neither via ctrl+h nor view>show hidden files) [13:09] Splendid: i meant user@domain:port [13:09] tehbaut: then there are none [13:09] Chertograd: Ubuntu is one of the distributions that aim to provide a very beginner-friendly interface, and the terminal is in most cases not needed (although in this chat you will see a lot of commands, since it far easier to convey than click-instructions), To find out about drivers you pretty much have to try it yourself, just running the livecd should give a general idea. [13:09] Which IRC & MSN client do you recommend for a beginner in Ubuntu? -I got interested in "emesene" and "xchat" by their visuals [13:09] janisozaur: ssh -p 8888 user@host [13:09] janisozaur: oh there are some [13:09] it is working with ssh user@host -p 888 [13:09] tnx a lot people [13:09] :D [13:10] Chertograd: indeed, that's what I use [13:10] arand: Thank you =) [13:10] Chertograd: Xchat for IRC, emesene or pidgin for the rest. [13:10] in both windows and linux [13:10] janisozaur: this DVD isn't just made up of 5 < 100KB files ;) [13:10] tehbaut: not in the *nix definition of "hidden file" [13:10] maybe not, they're mac files [13:10] tehbaut: oh [13:10] tehbaut: then you're probably look for .DS_Store folder [13:11] there is none [13:11] For a multi protocol chat client, I recommend pidgin for right now [13:11] I've got my laptop installed with Vista on C: and D: is empty. Can I install Ubuntu on D: and if it doesn't go well format it back to Vista's NTFS use? :o [13:11] Chertograd: yes [13:11] chertograd [13:11] tehbaut: in nautilus in address bar type ".D", you should get some auto-completion [13:11] ubuntu and other Linux distro do not use drive letters [13:11] tehbaut: /your/current/dir/.D [13:12] Chertograd: there are some hardware testing results in the wiki, altohugh they're not very exhaustive and/or well updated they may be worth a check:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [13:12] janisozaur: to be 100% honest, this is a mac install dvd... [13:12] Chertograd: you can boot ubuntu from usb drive if you want to [13:12] so that's not the folder I'm looking for [13:12] ;) [13:12] tehbaut: ahh [13:12] tehbaut: then it's probably not iso-9660, or it is modified [13:13] UDF? [13:13] ZTE broad band connection [13:13] err [13:13] or [13:13] hi [13:13] canot connect in ubuntu 9.10 [13:13] brijith: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:13] janisozaur: well extracting the iso as iso-9660 produced the small files [13:14] tehbaut: file /path/to/your/image/file [13:14] just not the folders or bigger files [13:14] does anybody know how to add read/write permissions to a filesystem? [13:14] tehbaut: what's the output of that command? [13:14] Archer0001980: that makes no sense. What filesystem? [13:14] Chertograd: how big is D: curretly? are you using it as a data partition? [13:14] Archer0001980: if root is mounting read only, you have a problem [13:14] ok... read my post....http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=639185#p639185 [13:14] Archer0001980: are you using ubuntu?

For the ubuntu install I'd go for something like ~10GB [13:24] arand, windows can read ext2/3 [13:24] Chertograd: you can use ext2fsd [13:24] but you'll need third party driver [13:24] janisozaur: php debuggers are well-known for being a pain in the neck to setup, unfortunately [13:24] How I can install games?

Dad's computer is Win95, doesn't recognize USB. Tech told him to move to Win2K, and all would be fine. So I thought this would be a good chance to move him to Ubuntu. Would it work? [13:27] janisozaur: i'm not sure if it's php-related. i think it's somehow related to how debian systems set php configurations [13:28] No one can help? [13:28] Hi how can i use the "Broken" filter? [13:28] is the method of putting .ini files in /etc/php5/conf.d php-specific or related to how php in debain systems is packaged? [13:28] hi, this morning i had this problem "alert /dev/disk/by-uuid/XXXXXXXXX does not exist. Dropping to a shell." After googleing for a while i found many possible solutions but all of em involved a sys re-install or a grub re-install or anyway some long and maybe difficult and uncomfy stuff. I solved it just by opening my desktop and unplugging and replugging both the power cables and the sata connector of my main hdd, reboot and it works! i thin [13:28] k the prob might be of electrical nature, maybe a short-circuit or i dunno but it worked. so im here to share this with you guys, i'll also post it as a solution on the forums and then id like to ask if someone could suggest a link on which i can study how to keep my system "healthy" (by this i mean, how to check the fs, a defreag? etc etc) THANKS!!! [13:28] is there a ubuntu chat room? [13:28] Hi how can i use the "Broken" filter?

[13:29] plz anyone who knows how to use the broken filter [13:30] Iimitk: imo php-specific. i'd take a look how do you set up the debugger in general (using man, online manuals and google) and then apply to local config... can't help you though, i haven't used php for quite some time now [13:30] Hello all i want to re install ubuntu , and i have win xp / ubuntu dual boot , how i can procced without destroying the grub ?

I thought that if you packaged for Debian, you didn't need to package for Ubuntu, as Debian packages automatically make their way into Ubuntu.

[16:39] selje: Using dhcp? [16:39] kevdog: yes [16:39] IdleOne: Will do. Thanks for the assistance. [16:40] Squideshi, it depends on whether the packager is actually a debian packager who puts their packages into the actual, official debian repositories [16:40] selje: Then sudo dhclient eth0 [16:40] see you , maybe Bye [16:40] selje: Does ifconfig now show an ip address with eth0? [16:40] http://pastebin.com/d4c7be411 [16:40] Squideshi: if they do, then their package is likely to be "automatically" brought into ubuntu. but if it's just a .deb published somewhere on the web, then they'll have to do the work. [16:40] kevdog: nope [16:40] Hi [16:40] selje: What does ifconfig show now -- an ip address with any interface? [16:41] LjL: I see. That makes sense.

It has a broken cd-rom player so I can't use that, and it won't boot from USB. Is there any way an external usb Harddrive would be different and might work?

[17:11] selje: Can you do dmesg | more and see if any messages regarding foredeth are listed or about your network card [17:11] trism, You cant use rm to remove a dir though can you [17:11] krooler, it tells me gdm is missing or incomplete [17:12] dears [17:12] and I cannot use any online repositories [17:12] can i install open vpn [17:12] don't know why not, maybe I broke eth too [17:12] XStatik: you can with -r, it stands for recursive, it deletes the contents of the directory and then the directory itself [17:12] BluntedBoyWonder do sudo apt-get remove gdm && sudo apt-get install gdm perhaps [17:12] and get my static ip in my local pc ? [17:12] ok [17:12] how do you trun off the track title notifications in rhythmbox? [17:13] amgarchIn9: it's in the prefs somewhere [17:14] trisa, IdleOne: thanks.

It cannot contact any repositories [17:15] kevdog: forcedeth are listed [17:15] if I only had a working cd-rom drive I would just reinstall ubuntu ... [17:16] BluntedBoyWonder but you have internet? [17:16] is pulse effect supposed to work on every button? [17:16] IdleOne: in 0.12.5 I dont find anything [17:17] nope, looks like I broke that too [17:17] BluntedBoyWonder if you have an ethernet cable just plug it in and you should have internet. If you only have wireless it's a bit tricker without the network manager [17:17] hi [17:18] QUESTION - I'm running rsync from 1 drive to another. I own the mount points on the drives. I also own all of the files inside. However, I have specific group settings on my drive that gets copied. When I run rsync -a, the -a switch requires root priviledges. Yet I'm being told as long as I own the other directory and the files/folders associated with it, I don't need root priviledges. Is this true? [17:18] amgarchIn9: I can't find it either [17:18] I have a dual boot, can't I use my windows install somehow [17:18] maybe mount an image from there or something? [17:18] amgarchIn9: You need to right click on the tray icon, and you can disable them [17:19] grasping at straws I know :P [17:19] can't use windows and you're complaining? lol [17:19] :P [17:19] amgarchIn9: the weirdest place to put it, I had them disabled and I just couldn't remember how I did it [17:19] BluntedBoyWonder you can use the windows install to get the gdm packages needed, then put them on a usb-drive and install them from there on ubuntu perhaps [17:19] no it's the ONLY thing I can use right now, xteejx [17:19] trism: ahh nice [17:19] ... [17:20] BluntedBoyWonder: you just asked if you can use it.....if you said you can, then you can.......... [17:20] trism: indeed weird place to put a display setting for an app [17:20] xteejx: please start making sense [17:20] kevdog: not there anymore? [17:21] BluntedBoyWonder: what is the problem, can you not boot into windows, and I make sense, you made 2 contradictory statements ;) [17:21] > I have a dual boot, can't I use my windows install somehow - is a question, not a statement [17:21] xteejx he has another problem, with gdm [17:21] ahhhh [17:22] BluntedBoyWonder: download the packages from packages.ubuntu.com [17:22] And I can't seem to boot from usb with my arcane BIOS [17:22] how can i change the default mount of new devices to be ro instead of rw [17:22] blunted, does your ethernet work at all? [17:22] you could sudo aptitude reinstall gdm [17:22] to force the packages to reinstall [17:23] How can I skip the forced fsck under Karmic beta? [17:23] !ask anyone else who can get my ubuntu server release on internet? [17:23] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:23] or you could use "aptoncd" [17:23] xteejx: it works, but not from inside my broken Ubuntu install [17:23] :P === bluebottle is now known as Guest31763 [17:24] selje: don't put !ask in front of your question [17:24] right then, in windows use aptoncd, grab gdm and reinstall from command line in ubuntu [17:24] assuming you can get that far [17:24] xteejx yes that is what I proposed way back :P [17:24] is pulse effect supposed to work on every button? [17:24] krooler: sorry wasn't reading up to date lol ;) [17:24] aptoncd? Hmm [17:25] xteejx np! :) === noname is now known as Guest5487 [17:25] question right now: how can I mount aptoncd? Remember I have a broken cd drive [17:25] now, this is extremely weird, grub losts its settings on ubuntu 9.04 unexplainably [17:25] aptoncd requires a working cd drive correct? [17:25] BluntedBoyWonder: hope it's a push in the right direction, sorry for the shortness, am just getting rid of swine flu :( [17:25] nearly better :D [17:25] Losers :D === pisser is now known as xproject [17:26] is it possible in ubuntu to stream a local video file instead of my webcam in a chatbox? [17:26] Blunted: just burn the packages you need i think [17:26] xteejx: he has no working cd rom [17:26] damn [17:26] reinstall or ask a friend i guess :( [17:27] BluntedBoyWonder: borrow a cd drive perhaps? [17:27] where to go for questions about u-lite? [17:28] I created a user called "user" to have a generic account. There's a particular folder I have that I want jason:user owenrship too, with user being the group assigned to it. When I do it through the gui (I know how to do it through terminal) user isn't listed as an available group. Why? I'm just curious why it doesn't show up here. [17:28] I can mount usb devices, krooler, xteejx, but I am not CLI savvy enough to install packages from there, especially if you need to fool Ubuntu into thinking the USB drive is a CDROM drive [17:29] what is command to se network card name, it was eth0 but now I cant see it with ifconfig [17:29] BluntedBoyWonder if I was at your computer I could probably work it out, but I can't give you a detailed outline of what to do sorry [17:30] BluntedBoyWonder btw, can you do startx from the command line?

Because I got this: The following packages will be REMOVED: evince ubuntu-desktop ! [17:35] hi all,does anyone know where you could change the "timeout" time accessing a cell phone via bluetooth?

[17:36] agusj: only if you ask a question [17:37] how can I grab video streaming on ubuntu [17:37] Parlez en français !!! [17:37] dhalsimm: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package ( a list of packages to be installed ) [17:37] are there any known problems with the lib80211 code, or wpasupplicant, in karmic that would make it impossible to use wifi via networkmanager? if I associate manually to an open wifi network and DHCP, I can connect, but usiong the networkmanager GUI always fails [17:37] agusj, video streaming on a webpage?

[17:39] newser: Sure. Have a look at !dualboot - just adjust it to suit your needs. You'll need a /boot partition which is primary though, to handle your other installations [17:39] yes, I want to grab video streaming on a webpage [17:39] demon, it will be disabled, and wicd will be used [17:40] krooler, IdleOne: Ok I removed ubuntu-desktop and evince but if I try to remove libpoppler, it wants to remove lots of packages including GIMP [17:40] dhalsimm, because those problems require libpoppler to run [17:40] ! upgrade [17:40] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [17:40] dhalsimm, so if it not installed they are useless [17:41] hello - Google Earth 5 freezes sporadically the whole system -> reset - what is the solution? tnx [17:41] hi everyone.. wondering if I could ask a few questions on grub2? [17:41] dhalsimm: poppler is a general purpose pdf library, so it is used by quite a few packages [17:41] hey guys remember me its spikestar i dont like it that u banded me [17:41] corys_, ask me [17:41] BoxMagnet: is there a way to remove only libpoppler, because I'm gonna install from source [17:41] Parlez en français j'ai dit !!!

[17:42] pplz no i need info [17:42] sup: ask your question and don't get yourself banned again [17:42] dhalsimm: if you remove libpoppler without removing the packages that depend on it, your system will be broken === kancerman_ is now known as kancerman [17:42] ill talk nice wont curse [17:42] /w 10 [17:42] sup, what is ur question [17:43] trying to boot ubuntu, windows 7, windows vista.. grub2 gives me some errors (i'll grab the error) when I do the grub2-update.

[17:45] long term support [17:45] dhiaeldeen, sudo apt-get install unrar [17:46] !info unrar-free [17:46] thnks [17:46] unrar-free (source: unrar-free): Unarchiver for .rar files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.0.1+cvs20071127-1 (jaunty), package size 21 kB, installed size 108 kB [17:46] dhiaeldeen, althought that should be installed by default [17:46] why is one 8.04 lts and the other not? [17:46] ok' [17:46] it doesnt matter [17:47] Jajaja: they chose to make 8.04 a milestone release. Im sure there are several reasons why. [17:47] Jajaja, it means that canonical provides updates for it for a longer amount of time. [17:47] !lts [17:47] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [17:47] dhalsimm: you should still be able to install evince from source though, you'll just have multiple poppler versions available [17:47] http://ubuntu-cd.mirror.iweb.ca/ [17:47] Jajaja: Basically, we create a tonne of bugs (and close some!) in the time we spend creating normal releases. LTS is much, much more focused on stability and security than normal releases. They don't come out very shiny, but very rock-solid. [17:48] sorry but could you look at this link? Would you reccomend I take the 8.04.3? [17:48] cool [17:48] thanks menza symptom IdleOne :D [17:48] krooler, [17:48] ? [17:49] Hi. For some reason, dhcpd3 isn't running on startup on my Ubuntu. [17:49] i installed sysv-rc-conf, and it says dhcpd is setup to start on runlevels 2,3,4,5 [17:49] docmax yes, sorry? [17:49] Jajaja: If you're a normal user, do 9.04. Lots of new spankin' hot features you'd miss out on if you went the LTS route. LTSes are mostly meant for corporate environments and other situations where stability (we're talking 0.000001% massive fail) is required. [17:49] but it isn't running on startup [17:49] ok sipke does not work [17:49] Jajaja, recommend you take the lastest release 9.04 or wait for 9.10 unless you have business/corporate requirements. [17:49] any ideas why>? [17:49] krooler, i fixed it [17:49] it does run if i run it manually from the commandline [17:49] docmax nice! [17:49] 9.10 is coming out in about 12 days [17:50] docmax linux is nice because you can fix everything! ;) [17:50] sorry guys, I forgot to mention, I am loading this onto a relic of a pc, the amd Duron 700mhz 256mb ram 9gig hard disk xD [17:50] !karmic [17:50] 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 [17:50] Hello.

[18:44] OpenBluntSurgery: as does gparted [18:44] ikonia well I'm in gparted I deleted the fat32 partition and applied it and tried to format the unallocated as ext3 and it keeps failing [18:44] I had it working before but it stopped after I ran a virus scan and deleted some files. [18:44] Arelis: then nothing for you [18:44] ikonia: how do you know he has gnome? [18:44] Shawn-: you may need to re-read the partition table of contents [18:45] ikonia, is it even ready for use yet? [18:45] OpenBluntSurgery: doesn't matter if he has known [18:45] Arelis: what im client are you talking about specifcally ? [18:45] ikonia but it like tries to format it and trhen says failed [18:45] Shawn-: crete a new disklabel. apply. then create a new partition on the blank disk as ext2/3 [18:45] ikonia, empathy [18:45] ikonia: so whats the difference with offering partition magic to gparted? [18:45] ikonia.. any idea where i can get some help on this? [18:45] OpenBluntSurgery: one is free. the other is not. [18:45] ahh [18:45] how can I change the virtual screen size now that ubuntu doesn't use xorg.conf? [18:45] i meant parted magic [18:45] OpenBluntSurgery: you're advocating stealing software. [18:45] how do I force an overwrite when I mv a file? [18:46] OpenBluntSurgery: partition magic is a paid for produect that runs on windows, the other is a free software package native to his OS [18:46] i meant parted magic =P [18:46] I installed Ubuntu on a netbook using Wubi and then I uninstalled it, but I still have an option to boot into Ubuntu at boot. How do I get rid of this? [18:46] ikonia well it used to keep failing now it just keeps saying formatting forever...

[18:49] quimkaos: no [18:49] mneptok: yes, and I want it to boot straight into Windows XP (the only OS I have installed on there) without having it ask me anything [18:49] quimkaos: no, it runs just fine on Intel 64-bit chips (e.g. Core2Duo) [18:49] ramblagir: are you in Windows now? [18:50] couse the iso says amd64 [18:50] Google Earth 5 freezes sporadically the whole system -> reset - what is the solution? tnx [18:50] quimkaos: no, the iso is called amd64 [18:50] mneptok: yes, again, it's the only thing I have on there :P [18:50] ramblagir: open a command prompt. [18:50] kk ty [18:50] is there a good way to test sound besides preferences > sound? [18:50] mneptok: ok [18:50] ramblagir: fdisk /mbr [18:51] wow... no help here...jeez. some community. [18:51] mneptok: 'fdisk' is not recognized as an internal or external command [18:51] I'm running XP [18:51] Hmm i am having problems with openssh disconnecting me when i edit files vi or nano, or when doing command that puts alot of output. i think it is someking of flood limit. Do any one know a fix for this [18:51] ramblagir: fixmbr [18:52] DoomStone: I suspect it would be your router/isp more than ssh, ssh doesn't have alimit [18:52] mneptok: same thing [18:52] !windows | ramblagir [18:52] ramblagir: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [18:52] hmm it is local network, i have done it on 2 diffrent networkes. i am using putty on windows as the client [18:52] ramblagir: got your XP CD? [18:53] mneptok: it's a netbook : [18:53] DoomStone: ssh does not have a limit so it must be something specific to your network/setup [18:53] :| [18:53] ramblagir: http://www.techzonez.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-3975.html <--- maybe the netbook has a restore partition [18:53] Just noticed about Ubuntu opening up an appliances shop.

(not alsamixer, though... I heard it doesn't work with my card) [18:54] I have two identical 500GB sata hard disk. My motherboard(Asus P5Q) supports raid 1. I'm thinking of doing a raid 1. Will this boost my system performance ? [18:54] DoomStone: I agree with ikonia. Is there an intervening router? I would if there are any mtu settings on the router(s)? [18:54] Sorry I got disconnected... ikonia what were the commands again?

Is it safe to just randomly hit cancel to try CLI? [18:56] ramblagir: i haven't touched a Microsoft OS in more than a decade, so i'm out of ideas. [18:56] legend2440: can that be pointed to my external sound card? [18:56] shawn_: well as you're trying to destroy the data on that partition, I don't see any danger [18:56] I had a strange and pretty enlightening idea from this. What if we could make distributed clouds and have a central billing and creation system? IE. I can start my own cloud at my buisness knowing I wont use all of the available capacity and then click a check mark on my Private cloud servers to allow customers from a certain advertising and main firm to be on my cloud. [18:56] Buona sera a tutti [18:56] ikonia Do you have any idea why it would do this? [18:56] ZoeyMarie: not sure read man speaker-test [18:56] !list [18:56] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [18:57] shawn_: as I've said 3 times - you probably will need to re-read the partition table [18:57] legend2440: thanks. [18:57] ikonia What does that mean though [18:57] shawn_: exactly what I said, you've deelted a partition, so if you've not re-read the partition table it won't be aware of the free space so gets confused [18:57] ikonia When I canceled this formatting now gparted wont even open [18:57] how do you exit from reading the manual? [18:58] ZoeyMarie: "q" [18:58] hahaha [18:58] ikonia: thanks. [18:58] shawn_: I suggest rebooting to -reparse the partition table [18:58] when i plugin headphones on my ubuntu jaunty there is no audio. [18:58] How do i get rid of spyware on ubuntu?

[19:03] rcmaehl_linux: no - it's not [19:03] ikonia, really? i thought there was more to it than that [19:03] quimkaos: The ubuntu installer has it's own partitioning step which will allow you to resize the windows partition to free up space, and then create Ubuntu partitions for your install. There must be examples of this process on the web somewhere. You might want to study one before you begin. [19:03] ikonia: I've seen this spyware before on windows [19:03] i sense a troll. [19:03] ikonia apple tv harddrive is not but 40gigs so thats why i do it [19:03] rcmaehl_linux: yes, on windows [19:03] rcmaehl_linux: ubuntu is not windows [19:03] rcmaehl_linux: you're mistaken, you've not got spyware running in linux, [19:03] but i don't know how to i=fix it in ubuntu [19:04] rcmaehl_linux: reboot your system and it will go away, you probably have a browser running in the background [19:04] if i install in a windows machine do i nead to create a partition for linux or the setup does it for me without destroing the windows instal? [19:04] ikonia: it's really that simple?

[19:30] ZoeyMarie, use Kill command [19:30] ZoeyMarie: either kill pid or pkill process_name [19:30] trism: how do I find the pid or the process name?

[19:39] ikonia alrighty === goingtom1onbrb is now known as goingtomoonbrb [19:40] [manas]: You just connect it and it finds it as a camera. You can't do anything else with it. Apple and their facking DRM prevents any of that. [19:40] help with usb creator [19:41] What are the main additions and changes to 9.10? [19:41] <[manas]> Jimmio, so how i can upload music? [19:41] SnakDoc, u can goto root and do it ... su [19:41] Google Earth 5 freezes sporadically the whole system -> reset - what is the solution? tnx [19:41] [manas]: You boot into Windows and use iTunes. If you don't like it, complain to Apple. [19:41] im running karmic and i would like to play a dvd .. i did install the libcss stuff it vlc says it cant connect to the stream [19:41] shawn_: back in a few minutes [19:41] chibihogoshino: karmic support in #ubuntu+1 please [19:42] can i download the desktop edition to use it like a home server, or do i need to download the server edition? [19:42] sorry [19:42] itunes you can run under wine [19:42] ikonia Alright [19:42] <[manas]> Jimmio, i will :))), but how about wineq?? [19:42] Snewp, , u can goto root and do it ... su [19:42] selje: the desktop edition will work, it has access to all the same packages [19:42] [manas]: You could jailbreak the phone and put the music into it with SSH, but that's not a good idea to say the least. [19:42] Snewp: weird permissions for /dev/null they should be crw-rw-rw- have you changed them manually ? [19:42] trism: thx [19:42] selje: define 'use as home server'. What do you want the box to do? [19:42] how can I install python 2.2 in jaunty ? [19:42] [manas]: You could try it in WINE, but I doubt it'll work properly. [19:43] erUSUL: never changed at all [19:43] erUSUL: should i change it to crw-rw-rw? [19:43] Rorty: you'll probably need to build it from source, I think 2.5 is the oldest in the repo [19:43] hi all, can someone tell me how to mount a .img file so I can extract the data? [19:43] stefg: i want to use it like windows home server, to do file sharing via internett and via local network [19:43] Snewp: probably; and find out how you ended up with that permissions in the first place...

[19:44] <[manas]> Jimmio, my iphone is jailbreaked but to do it via ssh will take a time [19:44] [manas] at least you dont need to reboot to go into Windows [19:44] erUSUL: it was a default install on my VPS .. havent change anything yet [19:44] selje: i don't know windows home server. does the box have a keyboard/mouse/screen attached or is it some headless device? [19:44] Snewp: might want to see if there is a udev rule changing it in /etc/udev/rules.d [19:44] <[manas]> nigel_nb_, can u help me to intall it? [19:45] stefg: i have a keyboard/mouse/screen attached yes [19:45] [manas] sure [19:45] how does grub find menu.lst on the disk? is it aware of lots of different filesystems? [19:45] [manas]: I figured it wouldn't work. Let me try really quick. You could use VirtualBox like others have said. You install Windows in a fake computer and use it through there. [19:45] kermit: yes [19:45] kermit: ls /boot/grub/*stage* [19:45] [manas] just go to Add/Remove Programs and search for Virtualbox OSE [19:45] <[manas]> nigel_nb_, Jimmio can u find my an easy toturial [19:45] hello. I just installed tor, but it appears that even though firefox claims to be using tor, it actually isn't. any suggestions as to what could be causing this behaviour?

[19:47] <[manas]> nigel_nb_, Jimmio is helping me it ok thanks [19:47] [manas] oh good [19:47] losha: https://check.torproject.org/ fails. [19:47] selje: so you want a GUI on that machine, right? you'll a lot of stuff you won't need when installing the desktop-editition, but you only get a command line system when installing server. That doesn't mean you can turn one into the other, it's just a question of the starting point [19:47] (how) can i use an usb-drive to extend the ram? [19:47] kermit: grub does not depend on anything being on a fixed disk sector like lilo [19:48] 64.12.165.56 [19:48] [manas] u need the full package... not from the package manager... download the binaries and compile.. only then USB will run [19:48] erUSUL: not even stage2??

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:52] natschil: I used polipo. Did you set up firefox to use a surfing proxy (localhost port 8118)? That part is glossed over in the doc [19:52] maybe its because im using hebrew system?

[19:53] Liberty: you can tell it to update though. [19:53] help with usb creator [19:53] Liberty, like erUSUL it will be offered, but better to download iso [19:53] Hi what does this mean? Error: Wrong architecture 'armel' [19:53] Liberty: Change your settings so it updates on every release, and then yes. It will. It tends to be a bit buggy at first but it evens out a few days later xP [19:53] darkham: try asking a question [19:53] I succesfully connected to a corporate CISCO VPN server using the Ubuntu network-manager vpnc client - how do I access network folders? I only seem to be able to ping a local server (behind a firewall) [19:53] Fleet: means your hardware platform is not supported by that release [19:53] natschil: Well it didn't for me. I had to set up the proxy stuff also... [19:53] nigel_nb_: depends on what you want. the upgrade works fine AFAIK.

I use k3b or command line... [19:54] carpediem, at boot i begin to boot , but i've an error [19:55] is there anybody who could help me with xorg.conf file to manage to get higher resolution? [19:55] carpediem, kernel image not found [19:55] losha, maybe its because im using hebrew system? k3b is gui? [19:55] nigel_nb_: karmic isn't out yet though, is it? [19:55] does anyone here use vpnc? [19:55] natschil, no.. but the issues I heard were with Jaunty [19:55] nigel_nb_: that could somewhat be expected/not too surprising for beta. [19:55] carpediem, i tried to format the pen in one ext3 partition [19:55] anyone know how to modify grub to boot from a usb device? [19:55] natschil, that ATI trouble [19:56] anyone have a playstation 3? [19:56] carpediem, but the utility don't want to begin to create the disk [19:56] darkham: 1) confirm that the ISO you are working is valid. You can do this by running "md5sum image.iso" and comparing that value to the value on the download page from where you got it. [19:56] <_IdiotObama_> hm.. [19:56] natewiebe132, you need to change your bios, not grub [19:56] (how) can i use an usb-drive to extend the ram? [19:56] <_IdiotObama_> natewiebe132 you do it from bios [19:56] nigel_nb_: yes, but that was Hardy to Jaunty, whereas there shouldn't be any ati trouble now. [19:56] natschil, oh [19:56] carpediem, i tried with the cd as source [19:56] natschil, thats great news [19:56] darkham: for a boot drive, you want to stick with vfat [19:56] natschil: yes, Advanced -> Network -> Settings in my ff 3.0.13 [19:56] bernardo_, _IdiotObama_: how about without having that option in bios? [19:56] natschil, I cant do anything much on my Jaunty coz even I have ATI issues [19:56] mgv3: ken, k3b is gui... [19:57] raven: that doesn't work [19:57] carpediem, until now, i tried only the utility in jaunty live [19:57] with what could i test my microphone? [19:57] natschil, no effects, I loved the effects in Hardy [19:57] <_IdiotObama_> they looks to grub as any other device [19:57] raven, theoretically you could format you USB drive to a Swap partition then turn it on -- this is of course Highly NOT recommended. Swap on a HD is MUCH slower then RAM, and swap on a USB stick is MUCH slower then on a HD. [19:57] nigel_nb_: yes, the open source drivers are a lot slower than fglrx...but I hope they'll get faster one day. compiz(effects) still work for me, but not as well :( [19:57] does anyone know how i can get gnome-do's docky to not lag and be so darn slow [19:57] natschil, I'm not using effects at all [19:57] <_IdiotObama_> you can copypasta existing working boot line to end of it [19:57] darkham: okay, I've never tried it with a CD, but it should work just like the .iso way. So the CD is bootable? [19:57] natschil, I'd rather wait for Karmic [19:57] <_IdiotObama_> or something [19:58] <_IdiotObama_> and chance it to usb partitions adress [19:58] need help with xorg.conf file [19:58] losha: set https, ssl and socks host to localhost and socks 5? [19:58] Hello [19:58] <_IdiotObama_> eg (1,0) or something [19:58] Can anyone give me help with kdenlive? [19:58] hi everyone . what do you think on ubuntu new software center on the 9.10 beta.it as a better UI but is really hides a lot of information. [19:58] carpediem, yes, is the live cd of jaunty i'm running [19:58] !karmic [19:58] 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 [19:58] anyway of resizing partitions in ubuntu? [19:58] carpediem, as option i can use the same cd [19:58] hi anybody know the website where i can order ubuntu cd's? [19:58] * natschil hopes karmic will bring faster ati too, but he doubts it. [19:58] I've got a DVD that was burnt from within Ubuntu, but it's not finalized. Is there a utility in Ubuntu that allows me to finalize the DVD? [19:59] darkham: okay, then I would definitely format the pen drive to vfat and try again [19:59] apacdid, ask the same question in #ubuntu-offtopic [19:59] carpediem, and it seems do do iy succesful [19:59] natschil: I only set http and ssl I think (I don't have the machine in front of me). Those two will do for starters... [19:59] carpediem, i tried with gparted [19:59] oh [19:59] carpediem, what fs is the best [19:59] ? [19:59] Is there a utility in Ubuntu that allows me to finalize an incomplete DVD? [20:00] hi anybody know the website where i can order ubuntu cd's? [20:00] losha: nope, doesn't work (assuming that the fact that I have a socks host remniscent of torbutton doesn't make a difference= [20:00] Jajaja, https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ [20:00] s/=/)/ [20:00] thank you [20:01] secret901: what happens if you use a regular cd burning software and just tell it to burn nothing and finalize disc? [20:01] secret901: or if it really really wants a file to burn give it a very very small file to add to the cd [20:01] Slart: I'm afraid if I add anything to it then it won't be readable by a DVD player. [20:02] secret901: fair enough.. try with an extra file first then [20:02] secret901: sorry.. "try without the extra file first then" [20:02] im using Ubuntu 9.04 and I hv guest OS as Windows7. My ethernet connection is not being detected on Windows 7 and also I am not able to look my USB PEN DRIVE [20:02] which video editor would you recommend when you are used to adobe premiere ? [20:02] Does anybody know how to do the following command?`date +%j%H%M%S` [20:02] m using VirtualBox [20:02] + 10 [20:02] hey guys , i want to compile some program ( Blibo : ) [20:03] titanicheart: if you're using the OSE version of virtualbox you can't use usb with the guest.. you'll have to get the version from the virtualbox site instead [20:03] Slart: which program should I use? [20:03] natschil: sorry, dunno. Yesterday I installed tor, polipo, and the torbutton plugin into hardy per the doc you used. Once I setup the proxy, it worked. It was slow, but it worked. Confirmed by checking whatismyipaddtress and the tordetector page [20:03] !burn | secret901 [20:03] secret901: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [20:03] hey guys , i want to compile some program ( Blibo : Bloging Client ) and i got this error ( http://pastebin.com/d400c94da ) how can i fix it ? [20:03] Slart: whats OSE version? [20:03] secret901: any of those should work.. personally I use brasero.. but gnomebaker is good to I suppose [20:03] hello, Im trying to enable the rewrite mode for apache but I it seems that a2enmod is not working for me [20:03] I'm getting: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine' [20:03] losha, toda - i will try [20:03] yawn [20:04] I have a sierra wireless Aircard connected to my ubuntu 9.04 for internet access and I notice that whenever I connect my wired cable, the internet connection goes off. This is weird as I cannot share the connection without the network cable. [20:04] hey guys , i want to compile some program ( Blibo : Bloging Client ) and i got this error ( http://pastebin.com/d400c94da ) how can i fix it ? [20:04] secret901, see following link for some tips (not directly related to your problem), looks like growiso has a -M you should look into. good luck. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=847578 [20:04] titanicheart: the version without usb-support :) not sure what OSE stands for.. something with Open Source perhaps [20:04] can I get grub to add windows to menu.lst automatically? [20:04] hey guys , i want to compile some program ( Blibo : Bloging Client ) and i got this error ( http://pastebin.com/d400c94da ) how can i fix it ? [20:05] secret901: wodim has a -fix option to fixated an unfixated disk (how did you *do* that, btw?)... [20:05] r3za: Look at line 12 [20:05] losha: I created a DVD image using devede, then burnt it using the program. [20:05] cemc: the installed does that if you have an existing windows system installed.. I don't know of a way to make grub do it with ubuntu already installed though [20:05] anyone using samba? [20:05] HELP my laptop is broken [20:05] OpenBluntSurgery: yes.. lots of people [20:06] losha: but the burnt DVD can't be read anywhere besides the computer that created it. [20:06] Anyone in here use a sansa fuze? [20:06] titanicheart, how did u install it? [20:06] r3za, verify that you have kdepimlibs5-dev installed, also checkout "apt-cache search kdepimlibs" [20:06] titanicheart, from package menu? then u can't use usb [20:06] Slart: correct. I would like to add post-install. I know how to add it manually, was just curios if it's possible automatically [20:06] #easypeasy could't help me, anyone here? [20:06] I have a strange problem! All of a sudden, the drivers for my graphics card is gone (can't change resolution or use any desktop effects). I have a EEE 1005 with EasyPeasy 1.5. Anyone have an idea of how to fix this? I have tried to reinstall the drivers through Synaptic package manager. [20:06] titanicheart, that would give u the Open Source Edition (OSE) [20:06] Slart: yes.. meaning you ? [20:06] Slart: I don't see any option to finalize the DVD if I don't have a project open. [20:07] secret901: that might be a media/drive compatibility issue and nothing to do with the fixation. Harmless to try fixating it, but just bear in mind that some burners/media are so bad that no other readers can read what they've created... [20:07] I am still getting dependency problems [20:07] OpenBluntSurgery: sometimes.. yes.. but can't you just skip all this stuff and just ask your question to the channel? if you're not doing some kind of poll about how many are using samba I really think just asking the question will get you better results [20:08] Euler_, FYI only - 9.04 based kernels have some issues with intel gfx cards (think it's more to do with slow rendering then missing driver though) that is fixed in 9.10 -- no ideas on your specific issue. good luck. [20:08] Slart: yes you are Right...now what can be done? [20:08] titanicheart, See this for the differences http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions and see http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads to download the full version === jesse is now known as Guest93614 [20:08] ZykoticK9: Worked perfectly for a few weeks... [20:08] whats a good dock for linux? [20:08] titanicheart: remove the version you have installed.. download the .deb file from virtualbox.org.. double click the file.. tadaaa.. you've got the version with usb-support =) [20:09] nm, figured out my problem, bash is so frusterating [20:09] titanicheart: the missing network thing is not because of this though.. that's some other problem [20:09] losha: do I just run wodim -fix? [20:09] which video editor would you recommend when you are used to adobe premiere ? [20:09] Guest93614: AWN is nice.. or cairo-dock.. there might be others as well [20:09] Euler_, in 9.04 i eventually (didn't startout like this) had to switch to using a custom kernel on my eee701 to get my gfx working close to properly [20:09] Hi, I'm having a problem watching videos. The images are discoloured completely. Everything is blue-ish. Anyone know a solution to this? [20:09] if i done somethink stupid and want to return to previous state is it posible to do it in ubuntu? [20:09] alright [20:10] I ma running a fresh install of Ubunto, apparently I ma missing something crittical [20:10] losha: wodim says it can't open the cdrom exclusively [20:10] max__, what are u watching it in? [20:10] Both VLC and Mplayer do the same thing. [20:10] max__, and did u try different players? [20:10] Yes. [20:10] Al2: not unless you set somethnig up before you did the stupid thing. =/.. there is no default system restore in ubuntu unfortunately [20:10] Exact same problem. [20:10] Slart: Vbox Channel is dead..hw can i fix d eth ? [20:10] ppl 10 days 2 go...whats special about ubuntu 9.10? [20:10] I should have stuck with brasero, but it's not visible as a menu item in 9.04 [20:11] Nigel, this only started happening yesterday. [20:11] can anyone help me out pls? [20:11] can [20:11] titanicheart: I don't really know.... you've configured it according to the documentation? there are a couple of different network setups you can use [20:11] max__, in a terminal try running mplayer in two different ways and see if they are both tinted: 1) mplayer -vo gl FILENAME and 2) mplayer -vo x11 FILENAME [20:11] !ask | hawodi [20:11] hawodi: 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. :-) [20:12] can't have my wirless express card and wired cable connected at the same time? [20:12] I'll try one last time :) [20:12] I have a strange problem! All of a sudden, the drivers for my graphics card is gone (can't change resolution or use any desktop effects). I have a EEE 1005 with EasyPeasy 1.5. Anyone have an idea of how to fix this? I have tried to reinstall the drivers through Synaptic package manager. [20:12] is there anybody who could help me with NVIDia graphic card? I need help to set my low display resolution [20:12] hawodi: do you want to do internet connection sharing? [20:12] when I run it with -vo gl ... it works fine [20:12] yes. [20:12] !ics | hawodi [20:12] hawodi: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [20:13] in windows low display resolution with nvidia and the screen is blurry .I guess in linux is the same because ofthe nvidia driver [20:13] max__, that means when videos play using OpenGL it's working! see if you can config the GUIs for mplayer & vlc to use OpenGL. [20:13] oi [20:14] any one have a clue as ot my problem? [20:14] Euler_: tried going to the manufacturer's website and checking there for drivers? [20:14] Scunizi, ubottu: I have actually set up ICS but once I plug in the ethernet cable, the intenet conn goes off! and when I unplug it, it comes back on! [20:14] which video editor would you recommend when you are used to adobe premiere ? [20:14] oi quer tc [20:14] !ipv6 | hawodi [20:14] hawodi: 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 [20:14] xrandr: Yes, no luck for Linux, but i'll check again [20:14] hawodi: ubottu is a bot... I sent you that link to read .. I've never setup ics myself [20:15] Euler_: why don't you reinstall the eeeubuntu? [20:15] Does anybody know how to get the return value from a background process in bash? [20:15] when u going to burn a live cd. download to the desktop first then to the cd? [20:15] Because i might get the same problem again in a few weeks :S [20:15] PRab-> try $? [20:16] I just reinstalled a few weeks ago, for another reason [20:16] I've just encountered a problem wherein videos suddenly play with severely f'd color. The problem occurs under totem, xine, and VLC. Except for video playback, colors seem normal. What could be wrong? [20:16] when u down load to your desk top will it mess with the ubuntu u have on your computer [20:16] Euler_, i'd strongly recommend using Ubuntu NBR over EasyPeasy [20:16] Is that what you have to do with linux? Reinstall it every month? [20:16] keri: well, burning the iso without downloading it most likely end up very bad ;) [20:16] I have the same problem as Mickey. [20:16] Ok, might try that next time [20:16] Is there a way to get the new Ubuntu 9.10 torrent early in order to help seed for distribution on release day? [20:16] Is there some one I can get into private IM for help? [20:17] What's better with NBR? [20:17] hi fellow ubuntu-fans, which video editor would you recommend? [20:17] Euler_, EasyPeasy gave me a lot of difficulties... it was neat for a while (better when it was eeebuntu)... but Ubuntu NBR is MUCH more stable/supported [20:17] Does it have support for EEE hardware? [20:17] Krahazik, ask in here, that way any replies can be looked at by others, and perhaps a better reply given [20:17] I have been asking. [20:17] Euler_, YES! Great EEE support! [20:17] n8tuser -> thanks [20:17] i have another computer and i can not get it to start up i want to down load to that computer and my cd i have already is not working [20:17] ok sorry [20:17] Nice [20:17] is there a way to migrate your pidgin settings to empathy? [20:18] s-video with intels x3100 ... possible or not? i happen to have that in my laptop, but after my own attempts + googling, it seems that it's not :( [20:18] Thirtysixway: it really isn't an issue. Now seeding a couple months 'after' is. But this topic is best served in #ubuntu+1 [20:18] would i be better with k than gnome? [20:18] I am getting dependacney errors left and right when i try to install packages. [20:18] I'm on a Dell Latitude D610 laptop and trying to get the S-video out working [20:18] When I tried to istall the package I need tof ixt the error I got another dpeendance error. [20:18] Krahazik, you got the problems again after the fresh install? [20:18] This is a fresh install yes. [20:18] mgv3: I think that's more personal preference than anything else [20:19] Krahazik, and you had those problems before? [20:19] Euler_, UNR installs from USB device which is handy. http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download-netbook [20:19] hey guys, i know this is tech a hardware ? but I was wondering if any of you knew what the difference is between HDMI/DVI cables that have the weird lump things at either end of the cord vs the cords that dont have those devices? [20:19] Krahazik, is there a chance your media is corrupt? [20:19] This is my first time on linux. [20:19] i had ubuntu on my computer and something happen yesterday and now it will not start up [20:19] Jester86: hdcp [20:19] last time I ask... which video editor would you recommend on jaunty? [20:19] ? [20:19] ZykoticK9: Installed ep from USB too [20:19] I have googled my head of and several people have got it working. But it seams they use the xorg-driver-fglrx but if I install the driver the comp freezes on boot [20:19] Krahazik, have you got a successful install from that cd before? [20:19] russlar, what exactly does it do? [20:20] pm me if you'd like [20:20] Jester86: I think you are referring to the noise filter [20:20] wasn't a CD, it was from the download. [20:20] I havn't ordered the CD yet. [20:20] yeah I assumed thats what it was [20:20] noob question: how to power off from console? shutdown -P -t sec 0 not working [20:20] Jester86: So it filters noise in the line [20:20] is it possible to connect to the internet TWICE in ubuntu? for example, a wifi and a usb gsm modem? [20:20] So the Download is missing stuff then? [20:20] fokuslee302: sudo shutdown -h now [20:20] fokuslee302, "sudo shutdown -h now" [20:20] trucMuche, thx [20:20] Krahazik, probably... it points to that [20:20] so, would you get one that has or would having that make you assume its got a lesser quality cable? [20:20] ?? [20:20] Krahazik, where did u download from? [20:21] The main website [20:21] fokuslee302, or "sudo shutdown -r now" to restart [20:21] Is the xorg-driver-fglrx properier driver or the os one? [20:21] hello... can you recommend a video edit program? [20:21] .. I'm trying to decide on the brand i want to buy. I need a 6 and a 10' off newegg [20:21] ZykoticK9, thx again, man those guys at #bash was hardcore lol [20:21] Krahazik, was it a direct download or a torrent? [20:21] Jester86: I would say that a cable with the noise filter would be a higher quality product [20:21] direct [20:21] fokuslee302, told ya ;) [20:21] Rorty, depends what you wanna do.. avidemux, kdenlive [20:21] Rorty, to name a few. [20:21] !kino [20:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about kino [20:21] fokuslee302, tab fail ? ᒃ‿ᒄ [20:21] just beginning to wonde rhowmany dependancys there ar ein the chain [20:21] alright, thats what I assumed too but I recall having talked to someone who disagreed. not to say they were by any means correct [20:22] and where the star tof it all is [20:22] duffydack, I would like a easy but advanced editor, I´m used to adobe premiere [20:22] wiretapped, you around? [20:22] Jester86: but I don't have any exact experience (ie, I haven't used a filtered and non filtered version to directly compare) [20:22] are there any credit card systems for linux? [20:22] harjot: what do you mean credit card systems ? [20:22] Jester86: If I were you, I would go with the filtered one, if its not that much more expensive [20:22] Rorty, I think kdenlive is pretty much up there with the high quality windows editors... [20:22] Magnesium, you dont know much about syba do you?.. the manufacturer [20:22] Krahazik, Im not sure if those issues still happen [20:22] Krahazik, I generally order a CD [20:23] yeah thats what i'm thinking too Magnesium [20:23] something that people type in a pin etc... and stores "money" (its a little game that would be more fascinating if this was possible) [20:23] Jester86: No...I haven't ever used them, I don't think. sry [20:23] Can I use normal desktop in NBR? [20:23] and i dont know coding well enough to make one [20:23] I may buy a 6 and a 15 [20:23] harjot: there are order processing systems, but all transactions must be processed by a bank [20:23] so my Ubuntu is unsuable until the CD arrives then. [20:23] i already have a cables2go or whatever it is 6' [20:23] duffydack thanks for the tip, have tried many, but none i consider a good replacement yet... strangely i´ve never heard of kdenlive before [20:23] how do i know what version of xorg i'm using [20:24] I'm preparing to go have mythtv in more rooms :) [20:24] ikonia: like a server that contains information of paper money [20:24] Krahazik: I guess so [20:24] Jester86: Sounds fancy ;) [20:24] harjot: there is no "fake" payment system [20:24] ikonia: so i want my laptpo to be the ''bank'' [20:24] Krahazik: you could try a different location [20:24] harjot: sounds very dubious, but no, there isn't one [20:24] ikonia: no real money involved [20:24] i'd paste in the text from the terminal window but im on a 2nd machine for the IRC [20:24] Euler_, NBR is NBR - you could just install Full Ubuntu (and add NBR if you wanted) if you have the space (even better really) [20:25] Magnesium, it is pretty amazing.. are you running any mythboxes? [20:25] Ok, does that give me EEE-support? Hardware, quickbuttons etc.? [20:25] Krahazik: i meant you could download from a different mirror and check if it makes a difference [20:25] I have space... [20:25] ikonia: is there a customizable program display things from a shared file live [i could do with that] [20:25] harjot: no [20:25] ikonia: i dont need security [20:25] Jester86: No, I've just got one computer and one TV...always wanted to give myth a try though [20:26] Jester86: Well, 2 computers...desktop and laptop [20:26] ikonia: ssure? [20:26] harjot: yes [20:26] Magnesium, I highly advise it. After having had it in the past.. I have to have it again lol [20:26] Euler_, all versions of ubuntu have eee-applet and eeepc-acpi-scripts in the default repo :) have fun [20:26] alright guys, last hardware question [20:26] ikonia: not even something that can display the contents of a text file? [20:26] ok might be able to paste it after all [20:26] harjot: any text editor can do that [20:27] hi?

No idea what brand though...it's in an old sony vaio desktop [20:31] symptom: where is my samba config o.O? [20:31] Does anyone know how to install Ubuntu NR without a flash drive? [20:31] shawn_: I see no reason why your disk should actually refuse to work [20:31] hmm I just came across a HDMI->Cat6->HDMI device.. pretty interesting [20:32] ikonia someone mentioned it may be because Windows likes to leave behind MBRs so Im going to try removing it from a DOS boot disk [20:32] Magnesium, sony does use pretty top self stuff.. obv. 9 yrs out of an hdd =) [20:32] Jester86: cool...that sounds like it would be tons cheaper than running HDMI all over the place! [20:32] Solar_Flare, how do you want to use the drive? if you want both computers to dynamically use the drive I'm really not sure how that would work. If you statically mount the optical drive with fstab you could easily share the mount point using either Samba or NFS - but I don't know what will happen when switching disks! good luck man. [20:33] no kidding Magnesium, just takes 2 cat6s [20:33] oh damn. [20:33] Jester86: yeah, ive got an HP now...hope it holds out that long .

Like, a program that creates an image of the cdrom? [20:36] Could someone help me with setting up tor? I installed it with privoxy and vidalia, for ff the torbutton, now the green onion is on and the torbutton as well, but ff says: the proxy refuses the connection. [20:36] very nice Magnesium thanks for tellin me about them [20:37] Jester86: heres a link: http://usa.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=8CwAK6XZ0pekc7aI [20:37] so any one got any thoughts? [20:37] Krahazik: type date in terminal [20:37] Jester86: only bad thing is that they're only sold online, so you can't go to best buy and play with one before you buy... [20:37] Krahazik: check if date and time are current [20:38] Solar_Flare, lol you can easily create an iso with the cat command, then use an iso-loopback mount to mount it - THEN use Samba to share it. Is that easier? doubt it. Good luck man! [20:38] well Magnesium if I dont get this one i'm bidding on then I may have to purchase one of these bad boys :) [20:38] 12 hr batt life has my attention... wonder what it pulls in linux tho :-\ [20:38] ok [20:38] Solar_Flare, add /media/cdrom0 or something like that to your samba share [20:38] !samba | Solar_Flare [20:38] Solar_Flare: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[21:25] I want to know how to get rid of usb device errors at the boot sequence [21:25] is there a way to rename network shares that get mounted to the desktop? [21:25] oh -.- [21:25] cu [21:25] guntbert: never mind [21:26] tasslehoff: Did you try connecting with a lesser encryption?

[21:27] BullHorn, it depends on your needs, nothing we can help about [21:28] nigel_nb_: yes, that's one way, as is the method I suggested. [21:28] nigel_nb_: man invoke-rc.d for more info. [21:28] the problem is im a nub (installed ubuntu today for the first time. linux for the first time, really).

[21:29] BullHorn: what all do u use your laptop for anyway...can give u some suggestions [21:30] anoldhacker: Interfaces that are managed by ubuntu's network manager don't appear in interfaces file. You'd have to add it manually: "auto wlan0 \n iface wlan0 inet dhcp \n wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" and there something like "network={ ssid="SSID" scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=WPA-PSK psk="PSK" }" [21:30] well nigel_nb_, no idea haha [21:30] i just got it 2nd hand from my sister no cash [21:30] i guess i want to just learn how to use linux [21:30] and eventually transfer all my doings to linux [21:30] i dont do much tbh [21:30] mostly just surf the net, etc [21:30] BullHorn: hmm... install APTonCD, helps when u need to reinstall [21:31] reinstall what?

[21:32] i even posted about it on the forums, no one knew [21:32] anoldhacker: I think I isolated it. It won't connect to wpa2 with hidden ssid. [21:32] BullHorn: Do you mean on Facebook? [21:32] yes [21:33] BullHorn: that could be because u dont have some plugin?

[21:36] tasslehoff_: What I mean is, you should be able to specify the ssid in your configuration. If you are not broadcasting it, it still is there. Make sure you have "roaming mode" turned off.

(== not me) [21:38] UGH! Cable Modem > Router > DMZ > XX All my PCs have network access but the one in the DMZ seems blocke? [21:38] anoldhacker: It works for WPA2 (here). And you have to create that file if you want to use it.

I think the disk is not finalized. Is the finalization settings in the ISO file? [21:43] vlt: the psk="PSK" comes from wpa_passphrase?

[21:46] secret901, what about the drives elsewhere then? can they read what you are writing [21:46] no, nigel. Paul recommended Python [21:46] duffydack: I can't read the DVD if I put it in a DVD player or another computer. [21:47] so who has heard of linux trashing SMART data on HDD's during partition creation? [21:47] judibeefl: yep.. go with it [21:47] I was also advised to read A byte of Python [21:47] secret901, what format are you using.. + or - [21:47] secret901, rewritable or plain old write once. [21:47] judibeefl: its actually a pretty versatile language..my only other confusion was python versus Java [21:47] I'm using + [21:47] judibeefl: Paul cleared it up [21:48] secret901, can your other hardware normally read + then ? [21:48] vlt: K' I guess I have to log out to try this... ;) Thanks!

I know that the drives were healthy prior to..!

That must be an old cd/dvd drive in the other pc then for it not to read it... [21:52] how to file sharing with ubuntu with windows vista???? [21:52] is there anyway to move the notifications area? [21:53] hsarci: middle click drag [21:53] duffydack: I tried running k3b and adding a small file and telling it to close the multisession [21:53] panfist: Oh my...what does your xorg.conf look like? [21:53] jrib, im on a laptop :'( [21:53] hsarci: so? [21:53] now it looks like the default [21:53] panfist: ps, only one m in my nick :P [21:53] jrib, no middle click [21:54] duffydack: but still not readable anywhere else [21:54] hsarci: really? You can usually middle click somehow. In my case, I use 3-finger click [21:54] hsarci: in any case, just right click -> move [21:54] panfist: could you put it in a pastebin? [21:54] I'm onto my third try, this time in Windows... [21:54] secret901, well multisession probably wont work in your dvd player, tho I might be wrong.. mine plays avi`s and handles multisession, tho Ive never tried with an actual DVD compliant disc before [21:54] secret901, I dont know why its written it as multisession... [21:54] jrib, sorry i didn't mean notification area, i ment notifications [21:54] hsarci: oh, don't know [21:55] secret901, cant you just read the files in your pc that can read them, and burn the files as a dvd in k3b [21:55] hi all I need some help with evolution, the rss feed reader isn't working right, it is getting feeds and putting them in the wrong place, like a new folder [21:55] hsarci: if I were in your shoes, I would check the spec and then read the source code [21:55] duffydack: you mean creating a new DVD instead of burning the ISO? [21:55] magnesium here it is along with Xorg.0.log [21:55] http://pastebin.com/m647ca219 [21:56] secret901, copy the files from the iso or the disc, and make one yes [21:56] duffydack: I did burn the ISO with k3b [21:57] how can I boot from grub? [21:57] secret901, have you tried telling it to not write a multisession in brasero/k3b? I know I have to set it to no multisession for some stuff. [21:57] you always boot from the grub :) [21:57] duffydack: I explicitly looked for those options [21:57] duffydack: can't find it [21:58] dhillon-v10, yes, I know, ok, my question then is how can I know where is the kernel to load and how can I detect where is the OS located? [21:58] secret901, did you choose data dvd and not dvd video? [21:58] duffydack: I created it as a Video DVD [21:59] secret901, and this iso/disc plays as a dvd fine with the writer that made it? [21:59] duffydack: correct [21:59] please elaborate because, the kernel is supposed to load the OS automatically [21:59] and in Linux the kernel is the OS [21:59] secret901, odd it would make it multisession....odd === donkk is now known as Yay_Marasame === Yay_Marasame is now known as donk [22:00] hello are there openoffice PPA packages available?

Well, the thing is that I am trying to install a couple of distributions in two HDDs, so I need to know how to boot each distribution from the grub command line [22:01] secret901, it shouldnt have made it as such... you can use command line tool... [22:01] Does the linux-rt realtime kernel have any stability issues or is it just as good as the standard kernel? [22:01] GRUB is too smart for that it automatically detects the distros except some, btw which distros are you trying to install [22:02] it might have less driver support I guess === xrandr is now known as xr [22:02] duffydack: know of any? [22:02] Hello, I had a question.. I'm using a dell D400 and every time I close the lid it freezes up, black screen, mouse visible, but youcan't move it.

[22:11] bernardo_: is karmic ? 9.10 ? [22:11] I WANT TO WRITE A UBUNTU PROGRAMM [22:11] LOL [22:11] erUSUL, beta 9.10, but also tried 9.04, same error [22:11] !caps | enatom_ [22:11] enatom_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [22:11] I'd be happy to rollback after the apt-get upgrade that killed my mobile connectivity :( [22:11] panfist: okay, are you at full resolution, or still VGA? [22:11] enatom_: maostly C and some in python [22:12] vlt: Could be. It's not the same as when I go through System|Administration|Network. I did not think to do a ps when it came up. [22:12] bernardo_: can you check the filesystem in sda6 from a livecd ? [22:12] vak, you can check synaptic under history to see what was recently installed and then try to remove it [22:12] guys - I'm accessing this across a remote connection and it really isn't usable [22:12] i'm gonna log back in in a sec [22:12] Magnesium it's incorrectly selected 1600x1200 for me it seems [22:12] HI! I can't activate my second monitor... i get an error saying it failled to X config file can... can anyone help? [22:12] erUSUL, I can use a flash drive instead of livecd, right? I'm on 'trying ubuntu' right now, what command should I run? I'm doing fsck to check for bad blocks [22:13] Halitech: nothing new installed. just a lot *updated* to a new version [22:13] bernardo_: fsck [22:13] is there an Event Driven progamming language for ubuntu ? [22:13] ah - that's better [22:13] erUSUL, yeah, I'm doing fsck -c -f /dev/sda6, which is where ubuntu is installed [22:13] vak, you could try removing them and pinning the old versions of the packages you know you need so they don't update [22:13] erUSUL, is that it? [22:13] magnesium through the course of those screwed up restarts, it appears it's selected a default xorg.conf for me again. it must have done something else, too, in order to get rid of the funky color problem. still...the performance issue is bothering me [22:13] bernardo_: yes [22:14] pleaae help me! [22:14] hi guys i'm trying to delete a folder inside my external hard disk but i have the following error: Input/output error [22:14] enatom_, maybe check in #ubuntu-dev [22:14] and i can't delete it [22:14] how should i do? [22:14] Halitech: ic, thx, [22:14] anoldhacker: hmm, I don't know. It went surprisingly well when I just put the wpa data to the interfaces file. I don't need to log in now, my laptop connects to my network right after booting ... [22:14] !help | wolf23 [22:14] wolf23: 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. :-) [22:14] Hello, every time my computer is on for a few hours without using it, it freezes.. (keyboard doesnt respond to cap locks ect.) [22:15] panfist: okay, but now that you have a usable display, you can set up the correct drivers. You mentioned you had an ATI card; what model, specifically? [22:15] my laptop is acer aspire 5735-4064 there is a bluetooth button and when i switch it it says there is no depositive on it? [22:15] vak, hopefully that will work, I haven't tried to rollback a package so that may not work but I know the pinning does [22:15] I'm pretty sure the stanza is not getting invoked--much. [22:15] anyone knows how to disable the wireless button on startup? [22:15] vlt: I'm pretty sure the stanza is not getting invoked--much. [22:15] Halitech, thanx dude but can u help me to switch on bluetooth from my lap? [22:15] erUSUL, I also get 'Assuming drive cache: write through', do you know what this is? [22:16] Troubleshooting steps? [22:16] wolf23, wish I could but I havent got a clue about bluetooth, I have a hard time getting my bluetooth headset to connect to my phone most days :( [22:16] Magnesium i have an integrated hd3200 [22:16] Halitech: it would be nice to pin the state not just the package [22:17] Halitech, but tell me if there is a solution for it? [22:17] bernardo_: i get this on usb flash drives too [22:17] question, when I copy loads of large files on my computer, ubuntu freezes up, i simpy cannot surf anymore? I have a dual processor and 2gb ram, any idea? [22:17] i mean the state of the system before the update [22:17] because one package could be not enough [22:18] vak, I know what you mean, not sure how other then using something like remastersys to do a complete backup [22:18] Hi - sorry to repost but I was using the remote desktop ability of Ubuntu (wich rocks - it means I can use my Linux system over my Windows on VNC) so... I moved my home directory using an RSYnc to sync Old home to new Home... Anyway I can see the .evolution folder in the new Home folder but evolution seems to think it hasn't been run before. Anyone got any ideas (appologies if you've already done an answer but as I said [22:18] erUSUL, thanks a lot for your help by the way! [22:18] panfist: hmmm...have you tried to install the proprietary drivers from the "Hardware Drivers" program? [22:18] bernardo_: no problem [22:19] wolf23, I really don't know, I've never done anything with bluetooth on a computer so I have no experience with it, others say it works for them but right now you are asking the wrong person about it === Mike||gone is now known as Mike_lifeguard [22:19] Magnesium those were problematic...3d performance was too low to play even the most basic 3d game at the lowest settings. i was getting about 3 fps in quake 3. in 2d, i was having a screen tearing issue which made watching any video playback very unpleasant [22:20] Halitech, ok lol [22:20] * mau_restor is away: ahorita regreso... [22:20] panfist: Ick...I've read though that ubuntu's drivers were problematic, and some folks got better performance when using the version directly from ATI. [22:21] panfist: Are you running 64-bit or 32-bit linux? [22:21] requires a newer kernel [22:21] 64 [22:21] panfist, does your monitor support 1600x1200? [22:21] envyNG [22:21] How can I get svnserve to run as another (non-root) user? [22:21] !envyNG [22:21] EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver [22:21] Halitech it's 1920x1200. 1600x1200 is displaying alright just a bit stretched [22:22] envyNG is what started this mess [22:22] envy worked good for me [22:22] but maybe that why my machine is freezing when it goes into power save mode? [22:22] panfist: I also had a bunch of probs with envy. But my card is nvidia. [22:23] panfist, ok, just wondering cause I just had a nightmare weekend trying to get the ati drivers installed for my new hd4350 and it kept going to 1600x1200 which my lcd monitor doesn't support so would leave me with a black screen on boot [22:23] panfist: okay, here is a link to ATI's driver for your card: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.7&product=2.7.4.3.3.3.1&lang=English [22:23] anyone knows how to disable the wireless button on startup? [22:23] my power management is set to never but it does it anyway?? [22:24] sekyourbox, maybe envy messed things up on you, hence why they say not to use it except as a last resort [22:24] Can somebody tell me why my audio levels are really low? At Max volume it is like it is on min volume [22:25] doltek, check to another master channel [22:25] qwestion, is there a way to record on screen in ubuntu like a App or somthing?

[22:26] Halitech, thanks [22:29] hello. how do I access samba mounted files from shell [22:29] it mounts on desktop but [22:29] Hi, I have one ubuntu PC which has a network connection. I want to configure another PC that only has an ethernet card to connect to my PC and share its internet connection. How can I do this without a hub/switch ? [22:29] erUSUL, it didn't say if it found any badblock... it only said 'Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks and sizes' then 'Pass 2: Checking directory structure' and so forth until pass 5... didn't say success or error [22:29] recordmydesktop once its installed where do i go in run it? can find it anware... [22:29] Bodsda, does the first system have 2 network cards? [22:30] Halitech: in a sense yes. It has a wifi usb adapter and an ethernet card [22:30] bernardo_: well the everything should be ok; shoudn't it ?? [22:30] help with moving directory CONTENTS to another directory (upstream), please. I cannot get the syntax right [22:30] Bodsda, so how does it connect to the net? [22:30] does anyone knows if is there a way to make default the wireless button off on startup? in my computer every time i start the computer, the wireless button appears active [22:30] erUSUL, so, I should reboot and see if it works now? or is there anything else todo? [22:30] mver: mv ./folder /some/other/folder/ [22:30] Bodsda: use a crossover cable to connect the two computers ? [22:31] Halitech: once RecordMyDesktop is installed where do i go to run it?? [22:31] bernardo_: reboot and try [22:31] hmm [22:31] erUSUL, will depend on if he's using it to connect to the net or not [22:31] haven489, I believe its run from the cli [22:31] erUSUL: is that the only way? [22:31] Halitech: huh? [22:31] e.g. from /var/www/var-www to /var/www [22:31] hailtech: Cli?? [22:32] Bodsda, do you connect with a wired or wireless connection? [22:32] haven489, command line [22:32] mver: mv /var/www/var-www /var/www/ [22:32] Halitech: I use wireless for the internet connection. The wired is currently unused [22:32] hello all [22:33] Halitech: look i dont know much command line stuff. can you specify what command i am look for? [22:33] Bodsda: it is very easy to install a chaep 5$ eth card on a computer. far easier that any other alternative i can think of [22:33] erUSUL, sadly, I'm still getting some weird errors: 'ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x1 Serr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen' [22:33] any idea if a patch has been released for ATI Xxxx cards and ubuntu jaunty ? === asad is now known as Guest87748 [22:33] Bodsda, ok, you would need a crossover cable and it has to be a crossover unless you are lucky enough to have autosensing nics in both machines [22:33] erUSUL: ... I have an ethernet card in there [22:33] I set the number of desktops in KDE to 5. But it only lets me switch between two. What could cause this and how could i fix this? [22:33] anybody know what to type to check what libc version i have [22:33] How can I see what the changes are for apt-get update? [22:33] haven489, open a terminal and run recordmydesktop and it should start [22:33] Halitech: erUSUL -- cheers guys. Guess i need to go get my crimp tool out then :) [22:33] bernardo_: that come from your sata controller something is bad there (cable, power, disk) or you found a kernel bug [22:34] apt-get upgrade rather :D [22:34] EXT4-fs error (device sda6): ext4_lookup: deleted inode referenced: 178576 [22:34] Bodsda: you need a free eth card in each computer and a crossover cable. [22:34] Bodsda, honetly, picking up a cheap router would be less of a headache [22:34] erUSUL: thats what I have [22:34] erUSUL... hmm windows 7 works fine [22:34] Guest87748: sudo updatedb;locate libc | more [22:34] Bodsda: then you are all set up [22:34] Halitech: it says Bash: Run: not found [22:34] Halitech: router? I have a spare router actually. Can I use that as a switch? [22:35] anyone know how to admin an svn... I'm having issues understanding rapidsvn... [22:35] Bodsda: connect the two computers with the crossover cable and assing the ip/submask etc [22:35] Bodsda, should be able to, just turn off dhcp on it [22:35] rabidweezle: what kind of issues? (also note there is #svn for subversion itself) [22:35] erUSUL: Halitech thanks guys [22:35] haven489, no, not run recordmydesktop, just recordmydesktop [22:35] hey guys i installed wine now when i installed soulseek i get this error when i try to make a connection Port: 18877/tcp CLOSED. Your router and/or Soulseek client needs to be configured correctly. [22:35] Mike_LaMar, I imported my initial folder like 3 days ago, it acted well, I import my updates today, it makes a mirror folder on the svn trunk... [22:35] is there an easy way to re-author a Ubuntu live cd to encompass the most recent updates. So that when installing from it you get a more recent set of packages [22:36] noe [22:36] !remaster [22:36] Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [22:36] anybody know how to check what libc version i hav [22:36] hiols [22:36] rabidweezle: I do not understand what you're saying. [22:36] i installed jaunty server on my old mac ppc, got it working fine. then tried to install kde... kde works fine... but now i am seeing distorted colors and fuzzy text. how do i fix this?

[22:38] ive found dozens! [22:38] help me! i can't get my graphics card working right. all sorts of nutty colors! [22:38] BullHorn: checker? [22:38] My Jaunty install now gives me UTC as if it's local time; what do I do to restore that? ... [22:38] what do i do? [22:38] Flannel an app that automatically checks my gmail account and notifies me when theres new mail [22:38] BullHorn: use Pidgin [22:38] panfist: welcome back...did you try the official ATI driver? [22:38] Mike_LaMar, I used rapidsvn to upload my source folder a couple of days ago, I uploaded my changes that I made to the source code. It made a second folder with the same name under the /trunk folder of the svn server. === anichno_ is now known as test [22:38] i dont want this in pidgin [22:38] BullHorn: It gives u chat and alerts on mail [22:38] i use pidgin for other things [22:38] Flannel: thanks [22:38] !binaryDriver | dcohen, [22:38] dcohen,: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [22:39] I changed two things: I ran a daily build of Karmic as a live CD (shouldn't have made a difference), and I set hpet=disable in menu.lst [22:39] leif: nice nick [22:39] BillHarris: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic support, thanks [22:39] Mike_lifeguard, rather [22:39] rabidweezle: You might want to ping *me* instead of Mike_LaMar :) [22:39] BillHarris: Oh, as a live CD, and this is your regular system [22:39] yeah [22:39] dcohen, ubuntu version, graphics card manufacturer and is this a clean install, upgrade or have you made a change? [22:39] anyone knows where to find the Nautilus icon file please? [22:39] Flannel: I'm running Jaunty as my regular sys. yes [22:39] BillHarris: Is your hardware clock set to UTC? Are you dualbooting with Windows? [22:39] rabidweezle: OK, so then what's the problem? [22:40] rabidweezle: your commit went through [22:40] how could i turn off the wireless button on startup? [22:40] hi boys, one question. i need all my files in a folder. I'm lucky cause i speak spanish and all my files are in spanish, so i thought let's list all files in the system and find the one with a word like ' porque ' (because) in spanish. I did this sudo find / | grep -e ' porque ', but no luck. I know the files got that word, why no answer? [22:40] Flannel: Yep, but I only boot windows about every 3 months. [22:40] Mike_lifeguard, , there's supposed to be a new folder in /trunk every commit? [22:40] elliotjhug: jaunty server, clean install, graphics card is old ati rage 128 with the apple display connector to a crt mac monitor, i installed kde by hand. [22:40] THat's why I initially set the hwclock to localtime. It worked okay until this morning. [22:40] rabidweezle: no, of course not [22:40] question, when I copy loads of large files on my computer, ubuntu freezes up, i simpy cannot surf anymore? I have a dual processor and 2gb ram, any idea? [22:40] BillHarris: Haven't booted windows since last time? alright. Can you check to see what time your hardware clock is set to? [22:41] Mike_lifeguard, what's the proper way to commit changes? I'm using import [22:41] Flannel: How? [22:41] rabidweezle: But you added a directory, so it was created in the repo [22:41] Rorty well HD's can be that way. But make sure you got dma turned on on your harddrives. [22:41] use hdparm [22:41] Flannel: Does hwclock do it? [22:41] rabidweezle: there is an import command, but for committing, you use 'svn ci' [22:41] When trying to build in a module in a kernel I keep getting "This feature depends on another which has been configured as a module. As a result, this feature will be built as a module." however I have no idea what feature it depends on. In the depends list it says "NETDEVICES && !S390 && PCI && MAC80211 && WLAN_80211 && EXPERIMENTAL" but none of those are modules. So how do I find out what module it's talking about? [22:41] Mike_lifeguard, thanks [22:41] ok once again i need help with record my desk top, i need somthing differant to take video of my desktop any app sugjestions [22:41] hardcampa, thanks for the tip [22:41] rabidweezle: if you just need to learn how to use svn, see #svn :) [22:42] Flannel: hwclock shows the same as Gnome panel ... the UTC time but with the label of PDT (local time) [22:42] haven489: Why do you need something different? (also, what are you using now?) [22:42] <{Onyx}> Argh, this is annoying. Installing a Canon MP190 and everything's working fine except I have to run the scanner program as root. Don't know if I did something wrong because it worked fine when I installed under 8.04. [22:42] BillHarris: No, hwclock adjusts for timezones for your user. Hmm, well, one way to do it would be to reboot and go into your BIOS. [22:42] Mike_lifeguard: i am useing recordmydesktop, i dont get it and i dont know the terminal commands for it [22:42] obiwan_: Is "porque" part of the file name or _in_ the file? [22:43] haven489: sudo apt-get gtk-recordmydesktop [22:43] Flannel: Do you know the key to hit to get into the BIOS? It flashes by too fast to see it. [22:43] elliotjhug: any ideas? [22:43] {Onyx}, what happens if you try to run it as your normal users? do you get permission errors? [22:43] dcohen, thats quite an interesting setup. By hand install did you apt-get your kde or compile? Also have you installed proprietary drivers? [22:43] dcohen, (just googling around) [22:43] Hi, I'm having issues with usb_modeswitch, I can manually run the program with the right config from /etc/usb_modeswitch.d, but the udev rule doesn't work. [22:43] BillHarris: It depends on your mobo, try del, or f...12? f10? === Linekk is now known as Namel [22:43] Flannel: Okay, thx. I'll reboot and may be back later. [22:44] elliotjhug: i have been googling. yes, i used apt-get to pull down kde [22:44] Mike_lifeguard: invallid operation [22:44] <{Onyx}> Halitech: Can not find Canon MEP device [22:44] haven489: sorry, sudo apt-get install gtk-recordmydesktop [22:44] BillHarris: What may have happened with the liveCD is it set your clock forward to UTC or osmething. [22:44] <{Onyx}> Halitech: If I sudo scangearmp it works fine. [22:44] hi vlt, porque is part of the name IN the file, that's why i use grep [22:44] What does it mean when a directory has a green background with black text [22:44] Flannel: I suspect that. [22:44] how badly could i break things if i upgrade my kernel ahead of the distribution [22:44] woooo got went down to Hardy and don't have the freezing problem [22:44] isn't it possible to transfer folders with scp or only loose files? [22:44] vlt: if it was in the name, i'd simplyuse sudo find / -name [22:44] Flannel: If so, I should be able to set it manually and then restart ntp, right? [22:44] {Onyx}, are you a member of the scanner group? open a terminal and run "groups" (minus the "" to find out) [22:45] ghostlines sure you can transfer folders [22:45] elliotjhug, OK - so I'm assuming this card is 'known good' or has worked in a different OS well enough recently. [22:45] <{Onyx}> Halitech: adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare [22:45] Need help on Ubuntu 9.10 what is the appropriate channel? [22:45] Mike_lifeguard: now how do i run it? is there an app in my addmin file for somthing (new to linux) [22:45] dcohen, see the post i just sent to myself :$ [22:45] aleon: ubuntu+1 [22:45] {Onyx}, I think there is your issue, you aren't a member of the scanner group [22:45] BillHarris: Assuming your timezone data is all set up properly (saying to use localtime as the HW clock and stuff), ntpdate should fix it regardless of what changed. [22:45] BillHarris, Thank you very much. [22:46] haven489: Applications > Sound & Video > gtk-recordmydesktop [22:46] <{Onyx}> Halitech: Guess I need to add myself to scanner, strange that I didn't have this problem under 8.04, lemme add myself and see if it works [22:46] BillHarris: If you're running ntpd instead of ntpdate, it'll take a while to resync, because thats how ntpd functions [22:46] Mike_lifeguard: thanks to you im fine now [22:46] Flannel: I thought so, but rebooting earlier didn't help. I did set UTC=yes in menu.lst but haven't rebooted yet; perhaps I should undo that first? [22:46] {Onyx}, depending on the scanner you may need to set permissions on the /dev/usb/xxx/yyy directory as well [22:46] dcohen, can you describe your 'nutty colors' a bit more as well? Do you mean you can see a logon screen with weird colours or do you mean its filling your screen with colour noise? [22:46] Flannel: good point with ntp/ntpd [22:47] BillHarris: Are you running ntpdate or ntpd? Since the latter won't make the clock jump, so seven hours will take a while to fix [22:47] elliotjhug: all whites are blue [22:47] elliotjhug: there are lots of pinks [22:47] obiwan_: Ok, then you have to tell grep to look into the file, not just grep the output of `find`. Example: `find / -type f -exec sh -c 'grep -e " porque " "$1" && echo $1' - {} \;` [22:47] Flannel: ps -ef | grep ntp shows /usr/sbin/ntpd -p ... [22:47] elliotjhug: bright colors that arent correct, but i can kind of make things out enough [22:47] the card is fine, it just worked with mac os [22:48] i can get past the login screen === Andre_Gondim-afk is now known as Andre_Gondim [22:48] Bodsda: Thank you very much. [22:48] BillHarris: go ahead and stop ntpd, run ntpdate (which will fix your clock), then start ntpd [22:48] <{Onyx}> Hmmm, went into auth's under system admin and gave everyone direct access to scanner but that didn't work. [22:48] Flannel: Should I try ntpdate? I see it's loaded. [22:48] Flannel: Oh, you're ahead of me. [22:48] hey i accidently removed my network connection thing from the panel, and i don't know how to get it back [22:48] lol [22:48] elliotjhug: maybe its becasue my computer is using the apple display connector, and not vga [22:49] Flannel: stop = `killall ntpd` or something else? [22:49] lspci says i am using vga [22:49] BillHarris: sudo /etc/init.d/ntpd stop [22:49] BillHarris: er, sorry, ntp not ntpd [22:49] Flannel: restart = `ntpd -p /var ... &` or something else?

[22:49] dcohen, you could be right there - but I wouldn't know how to debug that [22:49] please help [22:49] BillHarris: No, restart is sudo /etc/init.d/ntp start [22:50] elliotjhug: thanks for your help [22:50] wow vlt i can hardly understand that, let me study that hah [22:50] How do I get my widget back for the wifi connection?? [22:50] dcohen, what I suggest you try and do is install fglrx (if you haven't already) that could fix it [22:50] {Onyx}, did you log out and back in? [22:50] Flannel: stopped. [22:50] <{Onyx}> Halitech, no [22:51] dcohen, or ask in here again, no luck in here try the forums [22:51] Flannel: reading man ntpdate ... [22:51] elliotjhug: apt-get install fglrx [22:51] ?? [22:51] dcohen, not that simple I'm afraid - one moment - Haven't installed flgrx (the proprietery ati drivers) in a long while [22:51] Flannel: got `18 Oct 21:51:24 ntpdate[24955]: no servers can be used, exiting` ... [22:52] BillHarris: right, you have to specify a server. ntp.ubuntu.com is one [22:52] {Onyx}, try that and see if it works [22:52] BillHarris-> try this ntpdate time.nist.gov [22:52] obiwan_: An easier example: `find / -type f -exec grep -le " porque " {} \;` but that doesn't let you copy or rsync the file to another directory ...

[22:57] I just installed [22:57] gdoteof-> look for nm-applet or nm-manager [22:57] erUSUL, I'm still getting those ata1.00 errors, any idea? [22:57] µtorrent work fine in linux.. [22:57] Any idea? /usr? /var? /etc? [22:57] elliotjhug: whats weird is i dont have an /etc/x11 directory [22:58] is that normal? [22:58] dcohen, it got phased out for automated configuration [22:58] k [22:58] dcohen, yes, check if you have an /etc/X11 folder [22:58] dcohen: X11 not x11 [22:58] neither [22:58] I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on an Acer Aspire 5050 and the wifi does not work. What do I need to get this going? [22:58] niko47, why use a windows app when there are plenty of native apps that work? [22:59] jode-> load the wifi driver for it [22:59] n8tuser, neither of those seem to be there [22:59] hatchiroku: i doubt rtorrent works using a http proxy.. [22:59] On which folder all applications installs in ubuntu? [22:59] hatchiroku: but for simeple stuff where you want to give another device web browsing tinyproxy is perfect usualy [22:59] i dont know meybe they smaller programs.. -_- [22:59] sargento, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin [23:00] i dont like 5-10mb programs..

[23:00] obiwan_: something like `find / -type f -exec sh -c 'grep -e " porque " "$1" && rsync -aR "$1" /target/dir/' - {} \;` sould copy the file to /target/dir/ -- don't know though if that will cause find to analyze /target/dir too :/ [23:01] do SATAII drives use the same power connector as IDE? [23:01] Halitech: Which one do you recommend? [23:01] gdoteof-> create one of those icons, then change its properties to lauch a nm-connection-editor [23:01] dcohen, did you install xorg and xserver-xorg?

[23:01] jode first find out which chip your wifi card has, sudo lshw -C network or lspci [23:01] sargento, if you are compiling it yourself, go for /opt [23:01] elliotjhug: are you serious [23:02] BoxMagnet, if your power supply doesn't have sata power connectors then yes [23:02] hatchiroku, yes -r is recursive -f is force and / is the root of your hard drive [23:02] boscop: Please don't post offtopic links here, thanks. [23:02] Halitech, hm. [23:02] lilzeus-> via the permissions [23:02] all it says is Section "ServerFlags" \n Option "DontZap" \t "true" \n EndSection [23:02] thats it [23:02] <{Onyx}> Hal: still not working. [23:02] Halitech: I think the problem was that I did it on user level, I tried sudo and I think it is working, Thanks [23:02] hey guys ^.^ [23:02] but therea are sata power adapters.. too.. [23:02] elliotjhug: so if i did this command how can i fix it [23:02] lilzeus-> via the permissions and ownership, ie man chmod and man chown [23:02] <{Onyx}> Hal: I gave all direct access to scanner and there was no scanner group [23:02] n8tuser: I am not the owner, I cannot adjust permissions, it says [23:03] {Onyx}, ok, are you getting a different error now? [23:03] Whats the hot key for ^O [23:03] dcohen, ah - see most of its autoconfig as I say- don't zap prevents a certain key configuration from restarting the x-server [23:03] <{Onyx}> Hal: same error [23:03] XStatik: ^O is ctrl-O [23:03] {Onyx}, did you create the scanner group then? [23:03] Halitech, I see the new connection, but I also still see the old on the back of the new HD ? [23:03] hatchiroku, you'd need to use disk recovery software [23:03] hatchiroku: you are joking right? [23:03] <{Onyx}> Hal: Created it, and added myself [23:03] if its ext3 recovring is allmost impossible [23:03] Halitech, what I mean is, I see the same power connector as the IDE ? [23:03] or atleast realy hard [23:03] <{Onyx}> Hal: Don't know if there was somethign I had to do other than just create the group/? [23:03] elliotjhug: so should i alter the file?

[23:05] oh, look, it just came back on its own [23:06] Halitech, ok, so I need a power adapter then? and how do you like the drive [23:06] elliotjhug, i tried already to mount it and its blank it was mounted when i run the command [23:06] I have configured apache2 to use virtual hosts for domain1.com and domain2.com but it will not show the page i put in the home dir for each site.. what is the problem.. 1 IP fir 2 domains [23:06] BoxMagnet, if all you have are PATA power connectors then yes ... love it, nice and quiet and fast, use it for storage of movies I'm converting to dvd and things fly along [23:06] alright then >.> im trying to get a dev kit up and running and im having some trouble getting the makefile to compile using the make command... if i move to the directory and use 'make'... first i get an error saying DEVKITARM not declared. after i 'export DEVKITARM=' i get a 'make: command not found' ... suggestions?

[23:09] I've looked everywhere, and it seems that it's not possible to do a "true" 2-way sync with rsync. (Multiple home folders all sync'd through a single server shared folder.) However, there is a program called Unison that will do this for me. Only problem is, it's super slow when you have many files, since it seems to check EVERY file EVERY time, even though nothing changed! Does anyone know how to tweak Unison? [23:10] Billiard, yes, i think its a problem with 'namevirtualhost' - what should i put the hostname or the ip in each hostfile?

T_T all games and programs deleted... -_- [23:12] I am not doing this correctly [23:12] lilzeus: chown username file [23:12] vlt, when I start Unison, it begins scanning and takes forever, and even freezes up, until it's finished scanning. (This is before it allows me to click "start" to sync the folders.) [23:12] Billiard: I did that for a folder, is that possible? [23:12] flansuse: I'm keeping 200 GB synced on four servers with unison which worls fine. [23:12] lilzeus-> umm, man chown and see the samples?

[23:53] thc [23:53] thx [23:53] mgolisch: will zero writing the drive fix it? [23:53] what java plugin should be used for amd64 firefox on the latest ubuntu? [23:53] use gparted.. [23:54] domo: if theres nothing on it : yes [23:54] can i use gparted from the CLI [23:54] yes.. [23:54] mgolisch, i think because i removed manually all the content of /var/chache/apt/archives [23:54] alrighty [23:54] is there a ircchannel for ubuntu netbook remix (9.10)? [23:54] plouffe: icedtea6-plugin [23:54] dakham: no i dont think synaptic does log anything like that or maybe becaue the install command failed [23:55] Deathcore: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [23:55] dakham: you can look at amaroks depenencies and see if any of that is installed [23:55] dakham: like apt-cache depends amarok or i think synpatics might show the dependant packages too [23:55] Where does Wine save its apps? [23:55] mgolisch, i looked but now dependencies are less, and not installed [23:55] erUSUL: I just found a site claiming Sun plugin now works also? Is that true? [23:55] Blackbird: ~/.wine [23:55] domo: you can use parted [23:55] Blackbird: ~/.wine [23:56] To somebody who does not use a cronjob before, please run "crontab -e" and copy/paste the "Select EDITOR" ascii. I'd like the ascii for the script I'm working on. [23:56] erUSUL: cause the icedtea has had problems for me for a long time [23:56] mgolisch, i haven't any trace of what is installed of amarok in m system...

[23:58] nigel_nb_, i only just got this laptop [23:58] dakham: the dependencies dont change, looking at the depenencies tab should allways look the same, unless synaptic somehow hides allready installed dependencies [23:58] erUSUL: How to tell firefox to use the sun plugin [23:58] mgolisch, oh, now i look [23:58] can anyone tell me what config file to change to make your resolv.conf stop getting overwritten whenever you get a new dhcp leas [23:58] plouffe: ony install one of them [23:59] !java | plouffe [23:59] plouffe: 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 [23:59] slap try dnsmasq..
