[00:51] erUSUL, dd if=/dev/hdx of=/dev/hdy [00:51] dd if=/dev/hdx of=/path/to/image [00:51] kennyH: visit eclipse.org for help downloading it. Pick the linux version for your architecture, download it, untar it, and mv it to /usr/local/lib/ [00:51] yes? [00:51] Restore Backup of hard disk copy [00:51] comfortable ;-D just rusty [00:51] BoxMagnet: if you are doing an image yes [00:51] http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/ddcommand.htm [00:51] BoxMagnet: you should only copy one disk to another if the disck are exactly the same [00:51] Billiard, they are not, but i want to copy ubuntu from one old IDE to a new SATA II [00:52] use part image instead? [00:52] then is [00:52] BoxMagnet: you shouldnt really use dd for that [00:52] dd if=/dev/hdx of=/dev/sdx [00:52] old hhd->new hhd [00:52] so dd wont work for 2 dif drives ? [00:52] if= input of=output.. [00:52] !who | BoxMagnet [00:52] BoxMagnet: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:52] depends smaler -> bigger [00:52] BoxMagnet: it will work if it is smaller, but then you will have to resize the partitions [00:52] but not the other way arround [00:52] the old is much smaller [00:53] BoxMagnet you can also use cp with the preserve attribs flag (boot from the cd) [00:53] BoxMagnet: then it will work, after coping you will have to resize the partition to the full size of the disk [00:53] ide using hda or hdb then sata using sda or sdb.. [00:53] Billiard, ok, [00:53] hi.mayb i know what is the problem of sys/stream.h NO such file or directory [00:53] guys if I write a bit of gnu software, how would I get someone to sponsor it?

[01:55] kiyoura, not really alsamixer gives you a sort of gui representation of sliders [01:56] oh, ok [01:56] jode, if anything is muted just move with arrows buttons to highlight that volume control and hit the letter "m" on the key board to un mute or mute [01:56] jode, controls are done with arrow buttons [01:57] coz_: no channels are muted [01:57] jode, ok check PCM slider to be sure it is up [01:57] anyway of making www folder in apache workable without using SU [01:57] can a 2-way sync utility like Unison be setup to be automatic [01:57] jode, use the up or down arrows to adjust the volume [01:57] like whetever i edit a file on my desktop, it resyncs with my netbook, etc. [01:57] jode, also be sure that alsamixer has identified your card ...it should list it at the top [01:57] coz_: it is up [01:58] Hey, my internet is slow on Ubuntu but faster on Windows, anyone know how to toggle the settings to make it work better?

[02:00] rickasaurus: gnome is what you look at.. pulseaudio is a backend server [02:00] jode, ok then I am going to suggest going to the #alsa channel ...just type /join #alsa where you type in here [02:00] I know but when I boot my computer and ssh in [02:00] I type aplay -l and it shows no soundcards [02:00] but after I log in [02:00] it shows both of them [02:01] anyone? [02:01] this is in jaunty [02:01] Ziber, I am a real dunce when it comes to this stuff :) so I suggest ##linux channel just type /join ##linux where you type here [02:02] rickasaurus: so when you boot and then ssh in have you started the gui at that point or just turned the machine on and let it sit at the uname & password prompt? [02:02] yes [02:02] which [02:02] it's in gdm [02:03] Ziber: use samba's smbmount [02:03] Ziber: going to be somehing like smbmount //computer/share /your/mount/point [02:03] rickasaurus: not sure what to do from here. maybe someone else can pick it up [02:04] I sound probably just post on the forums [02:04] s/sound/should :) [02:04] can anyone help me with dual monitor config? i have a second monitor (lcd TV) connected int the hdmi and i am using 'separate x screens'. however i can't move any application for that seconf monitor. even if i open some aplication in the second monitor it starts in the main monitor. how can i open aplications in the second monitor using for example 'DISPLAY=:0.1 [application]' command? === pauljw_vm is now known as pauljw [02:05] Hello [02:05] rickasaurus: someone here may know [02:05] Any1 know good convertor avi to mpeg [02:06] ziomus: if you feel like outsourcing http://www.zamzar.com is fine [02:06] ziomus: handbreak.fr [02:06] ziomus: that is www.handbreak.fr [02:07] Handbreak is bad [02:07] why do you say that? [02:07] When i convert movies i play it in my car it cuts [02:07] Handbreak works for me. [02:08] me too [02:08] anyone here uses ebox? [02:08] handbrake is reall nice [02:08] I have converted movies for the iPhone with no problems. [02:08] Besides handbreak is only using tools to give a GUI. [02:09] What is ebox? [02:09] !ebox [02:09] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [02:09] ziomus, i would definitly check out handbrake [02:10] You need to install libdvdcss if you want to convert encrypted DVDs. [02:10] When buying a new laptop, what parts do I need to avoid so that flash video (youtube, hulu, etc) will play without horrible framerate/stutter/tearing? All of my computers so far have the issue (2 laptops, 2 desktops) - is it intel? nvidia? linux in general? [02:11] what's the deal with Mint linux? they are trying to make "Ubuntu, but Better" type thing? [02:11] Sonja: that belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:11] ebox: I use an editor to configure the servers I work on. Is it like webmin? === LjL-Temp is now known as LjL [02:11] rezd: yes [02:11] I will configurate handbreak then [02:12] how can I save my current gnome desktop settings to /etc/skel to be used by new users???

[02:14] Umm. How about puting few mpeg movies converted into single dvd. [02:14] libdvdcss is more then just restricted. You seem to have to run a script to install it. [02:15] rezd: one of those links takes you to an ubuntu dirivitive with a repo to install it. [02:15] I have few converters [02:15] I have deve program [02:15] can anyone help me with dual monitor config? i have a second monitor (lcd TV) connected int the hdmi and i am using 'separate x screens'. however i can't move any application for that seconf monitor. even if i open some aplication in the second monitor it starts in the main monitor. how can i open aplications in the second monitor using for example 'DISPLAY=:0.1 [application]' command? [02:16] I think thats whst its called [02:17] Which graphics card do you have noelferrreira?

[02:18] Hey, i am trying to install the nvidia propritary driver. Whenever i change in xorg.conf to make it driver nvidia and not nv, it tells me: "(EE) failes to load: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so" Then "(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" and finally "(EE) No drivers available." What do i need to do to get it to work? [02:18] no Izinucs i disabled it but i had the same problem with xineramq [02:19] i tried in terminal: "modprobe nvidia" but it didnt work [02:19] it succeded but i still get that error [02:19] PCTeacher012: you need to uninstall the nvidia bits you see installed in synaptic.. then install the propriatory driver after gdm has been stopped.. you can't install it while th gui is running [02:19] Do you guys know how to burn multiple mpeg into single dvd. And be able to choose what video u want to pick? [02:19] i just want to open VDR or mplayer and watch the full screen in the second monitor, that' all, trism Izinucs rezd [02:19] Izinucs, Okay, so how do i install it when not in GUI? [02:19] ziomus_: that's dependant on the dvd player [02:20] ziomus_: check out LiVeS at www.getdeb.net [02:20] Hello [02:20] PCTeacher012: http://www.pastie.org/660023 [02:20] Izinucs, And should i just remove or completely remove it? === joseph is now known as crohakon [02:20] noelferrreira: no idea, I use twinview to do that [02:20] Izinucs, i think xinerama pans the second monitor with a lower resolution to the main monitor. i want to use native resolution in the second moinitor [02:21] PCTeacher012: ctrl+alt+F2 to get to a TTy and login.. then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop .. then if the installer is saved on the desktop.. cd ~/Desktop [02:21] I have it in my car. Its in dash kenwood 510 i think plays mpeg format [02:21] Izinucs, Okay, i will do that. Let me get the driver from their site real quick [02:21] PCTeacher012: after that it's... sudo sh Nvid [02:21] Hey, my internet is slow on Ubuntu but faster on Windows, anyone know how to toggle the settings to make it work better? [02:21] Hi. Having a really minor soundcard issue since I updated to 9.10 beta. Sound works fine but every now and then I just hear i really small pop/crack. [02:21] Izinucs, okay i will [02:22] I though ubuntu used kde mainly? [02:22] Bruce i have the same thing [02:22] PCTeacher012: look at screen and irssi for irc access and termainal access with no gui [02:22] Izinucs, I am completely removing the nvidia-glx-71 file [02:22] Like when you play movies or sound [02:22] Izinucs, I have irssi installed. [02:22] PCTeacher012: good .. do you have screen installed? [02:23] Sometimes it doesnt play righr? [02:23] Izinucs, nope. What is that? [02:23] ziomus, its not exactly that. Sound seems to be working fine, but every now and then i hear a random pop/crack [02:24] PCTeacher012: it allows you to run irssi and switch between various terminals.. but for this install you can to that with ctrl+alt+f2 and/or F3 and/or F4.. save screen for another time to get use to . === robert__ is now known as Drex [02:24] I can't tell if the pop cracks are random, or if they are being triggered by some event [02:24] Izinucs, Okay, i will. Now, how do i remove .ko files? [02:25] Bruce everytime u log in to ubuntu ur sound mutes? [02:25] PCTeacher012: ?? .ko? that's typically related to kde libraries.. if your in synaptic and search for nvidia you'll see all the packages there.. [02:26] Nope, ziomus that's not what happens. I think we have different bugs. [02:26] Izinucs, Okay, removed everything. Now. I have the nVidia RIVA TNT2 Model 64 Pro. On nvidia's driver page, in product type: legacy, there is both RIVA and TNT2. Which one do i chose? [02:26] choose* [02:26] PCTeacher012: what card do you have? [02:26] Izinucs, nVidia RIVA TNT2 Model 64 Pro [02:26] AGP 32MB 3D [02:27] 32MB AGP 3D* [02:27] PCTeacher012: hang on looking..

Is that 9.10. I updated it from 8.10 [02:29] PCTeacher012: looks like this one http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_71.86.11.html [02:29] #ubuntu is only for and LTS that is to now, and the most current version. 9.10 is not supported in this channel [02:29] Izinucs, I dont have AMD, i Have Intel [02:29] :p [02:30] and ziomus_, go to about ubuntu in system [02:30] And [02:30] Read for "Thank you for using $Ubuntuversion" [02:30] PCTeacher012: hand on.. that's the 64 bit.. the amd link and driver are for the intel as well.. [02:30] Tell me the version it says [02:30] Izinucs, Okay, i have 32 bit x86 computer with intel [02:31] Lol i am on my phone. Driving from pa [02:31] But its as i remember 9.0.4 [02:31] ziomus_, Oh, okay, let me know when you are at your computer *chuckle* [02:31] I think its 9.04 [02:32] Something with 4 [02:32] ziomus_, then we can help you in this channel since it is 9.04 (not me in particular since i have no idea what is wong lol) [02:32] wrong* === _g4br13l is now known as g4br13l [02:32] ziomus_, Then it is likely 9.04. Unlikely that it is 8.04 lol [02:32] Do you remember if the codename was "Jaunty Jackalope?" or not? [02:32] PCTeacher012: this should be the right one.. look at the page and on the left there is a link for "supported devices".. when that opens look at the very bottom of the list. http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_71.86.11.html [02:33] Yea 9.04 cause i uploded from 8.10 [02:33] Lolz [02:33] isi t an goood idea to install open box on ubuntu [02:33] PCTeacher012: also have you just installed? if so have you fully updated the system?

How do I get pandora to work? =( [02:46] crohakon: pandora? ;f [02:46] www.pandora.com [02:47] it does not seem to work in linux version of firefox [02:47] How do I zip a file ?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [03:00] it's in /etc/X11/ [03:00] okay, since LinuxGuy2009 who was so eager to jump on a PM won't help me, does anyone know how to increase the space available for hibernating? [03:00] DaZ: Uhm, can i do that it tty?

[03:00] ;) [03:01] it's clearly not using the swap space, since it sometimes _does_ work and i only have like 8mb swap [03:01] *800 [03:01] cody__: and change it to nv ;f [03:01] DaZ: Okay [03:01] restarting GDM now [03:01] now it should "work" [03:02] will hibernate work with a swap file in a normal filesystem, or does it have to be a partition [03:02] Random832: for now, it has to be a partition [03:02] ok [03:02] Random832: swap file is for when you run low on physical ram [03:02] dgfgdf [03:02] is there a way to make it use a partition ONLY to hibernate? [03:02] @LinuxGuy2009, you clearly have no clue how hibernation works, so can you just stop? [03:02] Random832: there is experimental swap file support which *may* be turned on in karmic (i'm not sure) [03:03] @maco, ok, is there a way to make it use a swap partition _only_ to hibernate, and not for normal paging? [03:03] DaZ: It is in a resolution of 680x420? [03:03] Random832: Im sorry I do use hybernate it saves everything in ram including all running apps to disk. [03:03] D: [03:03] :( It look horrible [03:03] since otherwise no matter how big i make it there's the possibility it runs out [03:03] It looks like windows D: xD [03:03] cody__: nv doesn't limit resolutions [03:03] @LinuxGuy2009, it's not just "to disk", it's to a swap partition on linux and to hiberfil.sys on windows. A very _specific_ place on disk [03:03] but ubuntu sucks :F [03:03] and you almost had _me_ doubting it used the swap partition >:( [03:04] DaZ: Well, it is right now. I can not choose 1080x920 (or the default) [03:04] Random832: suppose you could "swap off" while youre working then turn it on for hibernate... but why is there a possibilty it runs out? it should not be using 10gb of swap for example. youd just be thrashing [03:04] pastebin the output [03:04] more to do with xorg.conf i suppose? [03:04] cody__: getting nvidia driver to work [03:04] @maco, something doesn't have to be thrashing to use a lot of swap - it could just allocate and not use for a long time. Even if it's unlikely i'd rather be certain [03:04] !find wgetpaste [03:04] Package/file wgetpaste does not exist in jaunty [03:04] DaZ: I know. But do i need to edit something in xorg.conf to allow the better resolution? [03:05] Random832: standard sizing is 2-3x the size of ram. so if you have 2gb ram, 4-6gb of swap. that should fit all of ram in there...it shouldnt use 6gb of swap AND 2gb of ram [03:05] !find pastebinit [03:05] Random832: Do you have a seperate root and home partition? [03:05] Found: pastebinit [03:05] and i don't want to have to have 10gb of swap to begin with [03:05] Random832: i usually go with 2x. so i had 2gb ram when i installed and have 5gb swap. though now i have 4gb of ram... [03:05] DaZ: What do i need to do to get a higher resolution? [03:05] if standard sizing is 2-3x the size of ram, why did the installer only give me 800mb of swap for 3gb of ram [03:05] cody__: nvidia-xconfig --mode=resolution [03:05] maco: That is old skool. [03:05] mobi-sheep: why? [03:06] maco: Because in the past, we didn't have lot of RAM memory to begin with. [03:06] maco: 2-3x size of ram is a very old rule of thumb for 1GB or less of system ram. if you got 3 or 4gb of ram you dont even need a swap. [03:06] DaZ: Restarting GDM [03:06] LinuxGuy2009: yes you do, if you want to hibernate [03:06] mobi-sheep: 2x is sensible. 1/2 is where it hibernates to. 1/2 is where it pages to. [03:06] So, I cannot hear any sounds. I just installed unbuntu.... How do I enable sound? [03:07] crohakon: Try "sudo alsactl init" [03:07] O_o [03:07] crohakon: you have to buy ubuntu ultimate [03:07] DaZ: lies [03:07] crohakon: DaZ is joking === Xoop is now known as XStatik [03:07] maco: thank you, cpt. obvious! [03:07] i don't get why it's such a huge thing to ask for to have dedicated hibernate space instead of having to pray that swap doesn't overflow into it [03:07] I am aware.. I may be a noob... but not that ignorant. =) [03:08] crohakon: check your mixer levels. master, pcm, front....any of those are a common culprit [03:08] correction, you have to buy ubuntu ultimate from me ;D [03:08] crohakon: hey its feasible... [03:08] is there a way to automatically make it swapon before hibernate and swapoff after hibernate? [03:08] *after resume i mean [03:08] crohakon: ie958 or something like that...thats another mixer element people tend not to know to check [03:08] Random832: you could change the swapiness so it doesnt swap as much [03:08] maco: First thing I checked. =) [03:09] Random832: Yes, you can. Ubuntu Ultimate have that feature! Go and buy it. :3 [03:09] DaZ: Still in that resolution [03:09] Random832: have you actually had any problem hibernating or jut being paranoid? [03:09] crohakon: neither speakers nor headphones have any output? [03:09] cody__: just ignore it [03:09] @DigitalKiwi, yes i have had problems hibernating (but that's on only 800mb swap which is what the installer gave me) [03:09] what is with all the Ubuntu Ultimate jokes? [03:09] maco: correct, no out put at all. [03:09] @Billiard, doesn't change the basic issue which is when total memory usage exceeds the available swap space [03:09] Unknown hardware: "HDA-Intel" "Generic 10de ID 5" "HDA:10ec0663,104319a3,00100001 HDA:10de0005,10de0101,00100000" "" "" [03:09] DaZ: I cant ignore the resolution :( Its what i look at 24/7 [03:09] thats what that command above returned [03:10] crohakon: yeah thats not the sort of info needed.... [03:10] crohakon: what command? [03:10] the next person who mentions "ubuntu ultimate" or some sort of paid-for ubuntu gets a free removal. [03:10] sudo alsactl init [03:10] whatever, i'll set up the partition to be 4gb and forget about it until the next time i fail to hibernate [03:10] cody__: i told you to use it because ubuntu doesn't ship wgetpaste in the repos and i need that command output [03:10] :f [03:10] crohakon: Run 'alsamixer' and ensure everything is toggled on -- If you see any blue/gray 'M' -- Press 'm' to unmute to get green '00' then ESC to save. [03:10] DaZ: Okay, so what do i do right now that you need? [03:10] let me log in to GDM irssi [03:11] cody__: cd /lib/modules;find|grep nvidia [03:11] crohakon: oh. er...ok dunno why you were told that, but whatever. "ubuntu-bug -p linux" then file the bug. then run "apport-collect -p alsa-base 12345" (replace 12345 with your bug number) to attach audio debug stuff to it [03:11] @vox, hey i was the target of the joke and i could still appreciate the humor - why so serious? [03:11] <3 Joker [03:11] maco: You're using Karmic? [03:11] DaZ: I am now in GUI. what do ya need me to do [03:11] cody__: cd /lib/modules;find|grep nvidia [03:11] mobi-sheep: yes [03:11] cody__: cd /lib/modules;find|grep nvidia [03:12] maco: no luck [03:12] anyway, i gtg - that being the reason i wanted to hibernate anyway... later everyone [03:12] crohakon: no luck what? [03:12] crohakon: im telling you to file a bug [03:12] bai Random832 [03:12] hey im having issues with ecryptfs, my private files arent mounting for what ever reason [03:12] mobi-sheep: nothing was muted. [03:12] DaZ: Pastebining now [03:12] maco: Okay. ubuntu-bug is not installed for final releases. It is for development releases. In that case, he would have to install the package. ;3 [03:12] crohakon: No sounds? :< [03:13] DaZ: This is the result: http://pastebin.ca/1628475 [03:13] mobi-sheep: O_o i thought it was a standard package. especially since bug reporting via launchpad web UI is disabled... [03:13] cody__: lspci|grep VGA [03:14] maco: Also, I believe that goes same for apport. [03:14] mobi-sheep: apport is installed always. it just doesnt automatically launch in released versions [03:14] DaZ: http://pastebin.ca/1628478 [03:14] mobi-sheep; no sounds. =( [03:14] mobi-sheep: since it had 189 processes last night using 4GiB of memory, i rather wish it didnt automatically launch in development ones either [03:14] cody__: riva? [03:14] DaZ: Yep. Old [03:15] awesome [03:15] cody__: what driver version? [03:15] hey im having issues with ecryptfs, i cannot access my home files [03:15] DaZ: 71.89.xx [03:15] hm [03:15] i dont remember last 2 numbers [03:15] doesn't matter ;f [03:15] DaZ: xD === J is now known as Guest47762 [03:15] i hate this emoticon. [03:15] DaZ: any ideas as to how to fix this? [03:15] hey im having issues with ecryptfs, i cannot access my home files what so ever [03:16] crohakon: Meh. I should give you the !sound factorid. [03:16] !sound | crohakon [03:16] crohakon: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [03:16] DaZ: and lol [03:16] !nv [03:16] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:16] ubottu [03:16] ubottu is a bot panlin [03:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about is a bot panlin [03:16] thanks [03:16] hey im having issues with ecryptfs, i cannot access my home files what so ever [03:17] and dang, that site never helped me [03:17] !nvidia [03:17] I am just a new user of ubuntu [03:17] DaZ: do you got any ideas? [03:17] panlin: Welcome to the wonderful world of ubuntu ^_^ [03:17] thanks!! [03:17] Your welcome ;) [03:18] cody__: maybe it's not supported anymore <: [03:18] i can't figure out how to mount my Flash Drive as read/write :\ [03:18] cody___: you're* [03:18] DaZ: I know it is :( 71.89.xx reports it is lol. It is in supported devices [03:18] DigitalKiwi: Okay. Ill retype it :p [03:18] panlin: You're welcome ;) [03:18] cody__: maybe xorg doesn't [03:19] too many codys [03:19] DaZ: nooooo can i get an older version of xorg and still have it work with 9.04? or maybe.. does xubuntu have compiz? [03:19] or something like it anywya [03:19] way** [03:19] I think compiz is not useful [03:20] cody__: Yes, you can run compiz in xubuntu [03:20] cody__: you can get nouveau [03:20] panlin: once you use it enough, it is super worth it [03:20] DaZ: What is nouveau? [03:20] most of the time,we do not need it [03:20] cody__: and xubuntu uses the same xserver [03:20] panlin: Cause it makes ubuntu all shiny :3 [03:20] open source nvidia driver. [03:20] just about any tiling wm > compiz [03:20] DaZ: O_O is it better than nv [03:20] ? [03:20] you are right, but it can make system unstable [03:20] DigitalKiwi: aaah okay :p [03:21] panlin: if you get an unstable version of compiz :p [03:21] my video card can play compiz [03:21] panlin: You're unstable. :P [03:21] isn't that all of them? :P [03:21] :) [03:21] if i add a script to /etc/cron.daily will it automatically be run or do i have to do anything else with it? [03:21] cody__: pastebin whole xorg log [03:21] maybe it because you vedio card [03:21] panlin: Mine probably can, if i could get nvidia driver to work and not use the danged nv driver [03:21] DaZ: where is xorg log? [03:21] /var/log [03:21] if new driver can not, old driver can not [03:22] but can down the video drover [03:22] Does anyone know how to disable the bell in rxvt-unicode? I've added "set bell-style none" to my .inputrc but that did not work. [03:22] panlin: nv is an opensource driver for nvidia, and sucks bad [03:22] DaZ: ill get it [03:22] how do i connect to a windows 7 remote desktop from my ubuntu machine? i tried rdesktop, but i keep getting unable to connect errors [03:23] uhm... daz. I have xorg.0.log, xorg.1.log, xorg.2.log. which do i choose? [03:23] and xorg.3.log [03:23] cody__: check them for 'nvidia' [03:23] :f [03:23] DaZ: *chuckle* okay [03:23] barqs: maybe you need activate the rdesktop first in windows7 [03:23] barqs: try terminal server client.. same menu.. [03:24] DaZ: xorg.0.log was it ;) [03:24] cody__: pastebin ;f [03:24] ubuntu rocks -end of line- [03:24] ubuntu can make the video card work, if not, you should install the driver by youself [03:24] ubuntu sucks eof [03:24] DaZ: Here ya go: http://pastebin.ca/1628504 [03:24] DaZ: I wub ubuntu :3 [03:25] http://www.nvidia.cn/Download/index.aspx?lang=en [03:25] krkenzi kikriki evri dej [03:25] jes i krk [03:25] ;D [03:25] panlin: I am installing driver myself. And it totally failed over my comp [03:25] how do i mount my volume read-write? it keeps mounting read-only [03:25] any croatia people here? [03:25] that's strange [03:25] how you install the driver, you follow the instruction? [03:25] I'm thinking of moving my comp to xubuntu since my comp has 256MB sDRAM. though EVERY program reports 512 MB Ram *chuckle* [03:26] panlin: Yes, i did [03:26] Hello I have a question [03:26] * mobi-sheep chuckles too under pretentious [03:26] maybe lack some *.so*...... [03:26] panlin: Made sure X was not running, sh Nvi*.run, let it compile module etc... [03:26] If you guys and gals don't mind [03:26] panlin: nvidia_drv.so exists ;) [03:26] !ask | kadajett [03:26] kadajett: 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. :-) [03:27] kadajett: What is it that your inquiring mind are dying to ask? [03:27] if one wants to do dual boot with windows as the other os. Does one install wndows first or ubuntu first to do it? [03:27] hey couls someone give me a hand mounting my samba shares? I keep getting an error message. [03:27] !dualboot | sparky [03:27] sparky: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [03:27] ok :) well first off, I have been through the forums already... I have a dv4 1225 laptop and my sound wont work [03:27] Out of curisoity, what IRC clients are people using? [03:27] ryan_: irssi === J is now known as Guest49405 [03:27] sparky: Read up. It have been suggested thousand times that installing Windows goes first. [03:27] ryan_: xchat, weechat, irssi and many others.. irssi here. [03:27] pidgeon [03:27] but my thinkpad z61t works [03:27] thanks! [03:28] got it [03:28] ryan_: pidgin and finch [03:28] DaZ: I think im just going to replace xorg.conf with old xorg.conf (original) and restart system (Every single GUI section is user, :0, :1, :2, and :3. [03:28] so bbs [03:28] everything goes well [03:28] im still here on TTY2 btw [03:28] I'm using irssi and have bitlbee going for instant messaging. I tried finch for a short time, but couldn't get used to how it was virutally a text-based GUI application. Do you kind of get used to that? [03:29] DaZ: Restarting now [03:29] have fun [03:29] Im fairly new to linux which is obvious :P But I followed instructions on the forums but no deal [03:30] I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on an Acer Aspire 5050 and the bluetooth is not working. How can I get this wroking? [03:30] jode: did you do all the updates? [03:31] I have problems :( [03:31] ERROR: "fbcon_is_softback" [drivers/video/console/bitblit.ko] undefined! [03:31] what's this? [03:31] im install xubuntu-desktop ;) [03:31] Izinucs, yes [03:31] * Izinucs points to a box stating Win7 [03:31] i try to built kernel [03:32] Can someone clarify... Is it still recommended to use the hdaps module from tp_smapi or is the kernel module in karmic sufficient? [03:32] cody__: yes, 71.86.11 doesn't support xserver 1.6 ;f [03:32] testing homemake client sIRC [03:32] You know... one thing I must say for opensuse... I never had this damned problem with sound. [03:32] how do i mount my flash drive as read/write? [03:32] U have a sound problem too??? [03:32] DaZ: D: Dang, well, im install xubuntu, it is more fit for my system *Chuckle* gonna go eat dinner now ;) [03:32] bbs [03:32] Thats why im here [03:33] kadajett: I have no sound. [03:33] Just installed ubuntu for the first time. [03:33] And being a fairly novice user this technical stuff hurts my brain. [03:33] How does Ubuntu (8.04 LTS or 9.04) compare to Debian lenny for a server? Speaking security/stability. [03:34] zopiac, it depends on what permissions you want root, owner, and others to have, but using chmod [03:34] kadajett: crohakon double click the sound icon up by the clock in the top right of the screen.. make sure 1> it's not muted 2> that all sliders are at the top [03:34] Izinucs: Already checked that... [03:34] zopiac, chmod 666 is rw for all [03:34] They are [03:35] kadajett: crohakon with the same window open click edit and preferences.. you'll see more "items" you can enable for viewing.. move those sliders up as well. [03:35] can someone help me get my webcam to stream in mplayer [03:36] it gives a erro when trying to access in on dev/video0 [03:36] mattgyver: i have my drive mounted at /media/disk-1, and when i input 'sudo chmod 666 /media/disk-1 -R' the drive remains read only [03:36] Spirits-Sight: you got farther then I did... [03:36] zopiac: what fs? ;f [03:36] DaZ: fat16 [03:37] Izinucs: I have tried all that as well. [03:37] zopiac, have you tried without -R? [03:37] huh :f [03:37] Spirits-Sight: What are the permissions on /dev/video0 ? (ls -l /dev/video0) [03:37] mattgyver: yes [03:37] zopiac: how about sudo chmod -R 666 /media/disk-1 === kaie is now known as Guest57941 [03:37] what are the maximum number of ports supported in ethernet bonding? [03:37] can someone tell me how to get flash working [03:37] in karmic [03:37] !flash [03:37] brandon_, download and install the .deb from adobes website, thats the best way [03:37] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:37] thanks matt [03:37] hello [03:38] Izinucs: I already looked throught that :) I think it has something to do with my drivers with linux [03:38] Berserkur: it says root "crw-rw-rw-+ 1 root video 81, 0 2009-10-18 18:20 /dev/video0" [03:38] I have a corrupt file system, and I need to mount the partition so that I can fsck it, I'm in livecd but I can't remember the correct mount command, and my google skills are apparently more lacking than usual this evening, I'm running on like 3 hours of sleep, could someone assist please? [03:38] ok, now it is read-write, but only for root [03:38] zopiac: Make sure you're a part of the correct groups. You shouldn't have to change permissions [03:39] kadajett: could be.. sound function is wierd on different machines.. some disable pulseaudio and reinstall alsa.. [03:39] F_Madison: hang on a sec... [03:39] Bluey, sure thanks [03:39] wat happing ?? [03:39] im really liking karmic [03:39] my intel gfx problems have been fixed in karmic [03:39] need to mount to fsck... >.> [03:39] how do I reinstall alsa? [03:40] ok [03:40] zopiac: also if you're not listed as the owner of the disk then sudo chown : /media/disk-1 [03:40] Spirits-Sight: Try sudo usermod -G -a video YourUser [03:40] F_Madison: this will remount / mount -o remount rw / [03:40] !audio > kadajett but expect breakage sometimes [03:40] kadajett, please see my private message [03:41] Berserkur: YourUser is my log name right? [03:41] F_Madison: as read/write [03:41] oh sry man didnt see it :P [03:41] Izinucs: chown: changing ownership of `/media/disk-1': Operation not permitted [03:41] hey could someone give me a hand mounting my samba shares? I keep getting an error message. [03:41] Spirits-Sight: And log out and back in [03:41] Spirits-Sight: Yes [03:41] After making a kernel without using the package way and you have the vmlinux file how do you make the corresponding ramdisk? Does it have something to do with update-initramfs? The README doesn't seem to explain this part [03:41] zopiac: you have to use sudo in front of the command [03:41] Spirits-Sight: You are adding yourself to the video group with that command [03:42] Izinucs: i did; i did exactly as you said but replaced with a username [03:42] I can access my laptop shares from the server but not the other way. [03:42] Spirits-Sight: You can also do it via "System -> Administration -> Users and Groups" if you're using Gnome [03:42] zopiac: "a" username? or your username? [03:42] Berserkur: it says "usermod: group '-a' does not exist" [03:42] mine === john is now known as Guest75044 [03:42] zopiac: wierd.. [03:43] Spirits-Sight: gpasswd -a user group [03:44] Spirits-Sight: Try swiching the flags -> usermod -a -G video youruser [03:44] hi got a question, i search and search and all i find are openvpn servers howtos, what i need is a client howto to connect to my university vpn server, pptp based [03:45] zopiac, what kind of device is it, a HDD? [03:45] I can't find any tutorials on how to get bluetooth working in an acer aspire anyone here have suggestions? [03:45] be back Berserkur [03:45] mattgyver: flash drive === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [03:46] jode don't know, but for macs theres a ubuntu official page showing how to fix some problems, i guess there's another for acer one, it's a pretty common netbook [03:47] its been a long time since I tried installing dual boot (linux and windows), does the installer have a way to resize the windows partition, or do I need to free up some disk space with other tools first? [03:47] obiwan_: Have you tried network-manager-pptp plugin? [03:47] Dracofodder: it should allow you to resize the windows partition [03:48] Dracofodder: what they don't tell you is - tht when you go to boot windows after re-sizing - you're going to get a bunch of windows errors - it'snormal - and windows will fix them.... [03:48] Dracofodder: , if you got empty space you can resize, but if it's full you'll need to clean it up first [03:49] Bluey: thanks, I was planning to give the install a try tomorrow, got a new laptop from work, but I cannot just wipe the whole thing and put something useful on it. I have to have their stuff available. [03:49] obiwan_: sudo apt-get install network-manager-pptp - And after that you should be able to connect to pptp servers via the "nm-applet" [03:49] Berserkur: , i didn't know about that pluggin, but anyway i *** hate nm hehe and openssh works great, so i thought openvpn would === patrick is now known as Guest99641 [03:49] okay I think I figured it out. Each kernel needs it's own ram disk so I can just use update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.28-15 to make a new one right and rename it so it matches the kernel give or take and then run update-grub and it should make everything work right? It's odd that the kernel readme doesn't explain this stuff. [03:50] obiwan_: thanks, figured that. new machine, should be good. I was just worried I would have to go huntin some third party resizing tool. its been years since I have had to be careful to preserve the windows stuff. [03:50] Dracofodder: best of luck [03:50] Sirisian_: you can do this without a ramdisk [03:50] somehow [; [03:50] how is every1 [03:51] xP i think my thanks were to Bluey !:D [03:51] DaZ, you're very helpful :P I'm just looking for the correct way. Apparently this is supposed to be one of those "obvious" steps that doesn't require documentation [03:51] thanks [03:51] obiwan_: Well you can always just install the pptp client [03:52] lol [03:52] hi. I've always heard 32bit OSs top out at around 3GB of RAM. What does 64bit Ubuntu top out at? [03:52] thanks to me? nope, i mean that draco thanked me instead of you haha it's surely a typo xd [03:53] Berserkur: it says "An erro occurred Location not found" thats what mPlayer is saying when I try and stream the webcam into it http:///dev/video0 [03:53] Berserkur: ok, but can't i do it with openvpn? openssh works just so good.... hehe [03:53] man how the hell are tarballs even usefull? they are just stupid its like u need the sudo apt for it to install anything [03:54] does anyone know any linux media players that will decode closed captioning on DVDs? Totem and mplayer do NOT! [03:54] rebooting into XFCE [03:54] 2 questions: 1.) If my SSH session, for lack of a better word, "times out" when I don't do anything for a bit; how do i change that "timeout" time? 2.) now that a session has timed out, when i start a new session and run the command 'who' it returns 2 users both me... How do i log the other dead session out? [03:55] DaZ, do you know how to do it with the ramdisk way? I'm getting an error like "update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd." ... [03:55] Sirisian_: i don't but ramdisk is easy [03:55] thanks [03:56] jph_: about second i got no answer, about first maybe in the ssh config file /etc/ssh/ssh_config there's some entry for time out [03:56] Sirisian_: i'm using mkinitcpio and it's just -g path [03:57] but i'm not sure if ubuntu has it ;f [03:57] ok i will go look right now [03:57] anyone else? [03:58] Hey guys, not a linux newbie, but have a weird problem. My board's SATA can't work without the acpi=off option during boot, so i decided to use the add-on sata card instead, but for some reason i still have to do acpi=off any idea why? i think acpi=off is causing my problems witch are basically slow I/O be it sata, usb etc. Thanks [03:58] hey guys. I'm trying to get gyachi to encode webcam screenshots automatically. i went ahead and ran in terminal: sudo apt-get install mencoder and it installed, but i can't seem to find any instrucitons on what to do after that. anyone can help please? [03:58] so i have got a question... who makes linux stuff? is it like universitys or what? [03:58] zaptor, it's everyday people like you and me [03:58] DaZ, I guess I find it odd that the README explains how to set everything up but doesn't explain how to set up the ram disk. Can you just use ramdisks between kernels if they are the same kernel version or something? [03:58] Zaptor: it just magically appears [03:58] lol [03:58] DaZ++ [03:59] anyone know any answers to my question? [03:59] linux software is like dwarfs, they just pop up from holes in the ground [03:59] lol [03:59] Berserkur: it says "An erro occurred Location not found" thats what mPlayer is saying when I try and stream the webcam into it http:///dev/video0 I ran the cmd u said and switched the flag and it worked, restart system and get the above errror [03:59] Sirisian_: you should use your own ramdisk imo :f [04:00] DaZ, can I just make a copy of another one? I mean the command doesn't work apparently to make a new ramdisk. [04:00] anyone? [04:00] hey guys. I'm trying to get gyachi to encode webcam screenshots automatically. i went ahead and ran in terminal: sudo apt-get install mencoder and it installed, but i can't seem to find any instrucitons on what to do after that. anyone can help please? [04:00] i didn't remember your nick Berserkur thanks to spirits i can ask again :P do you know how openvpn can join pptp vpn networks? if not, then i can try pptp [04:00] Spirits-Sight: Ok, then it's not a permission problem. Show me the mplayer command [04:01] Hey my speakers keep randomly stop working, I have ALSA I took out pulse audio a few months ago, but like when I turn my pc on I hear the Ubuntu log on sounds but sometime when I go to my music player (Rythmbox) or youtube, my sound doesnt work, ive tried using sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart and the problem keeps happening [04:01] Berserkur: I am doing it from the GUI user open location [04:01] hey guys. I'm trying to get gyachi to encode webcam screenshots automatically. i went ahead and ran in terminal: sudo apt-get install mencoder and it installed, but i can't seem to find any instrucitons on what to do after that. anyone can help please? [04:01] Sirisian_: you can try, but it makes compilation pointless imo <: [04:02] DaZ, what do you mean? === miranda is now known as fleshconsumption [04:03] hmm DaZ I'm getting somewhere I tried passing kernel version 2.6 and it said "kernel 2.6 too old for initramfs on i386" [04:03] obiwan_: thanks but i just read that file... didn't see anything about time out? any other ideas? [04:04] idk ;f [04:04] once i install a new application, where do i go in linux to find it?

[05:04] Spirits-Sight: You could make a script and put it in /usr/local/bin === shauno_ is now known as shauno [05:04] I just typed in k ill check [05:04] webbb82, no not off the top of my head, i would goto kde.org and take a look around the site, look for the development snapshots [05:05] stockbrian: at one poitn I saw the LED flash for a split second un der my mouse...but that it [05:05] just says try again [05:05] its blank [05:05] steve2: enter the user password, not the root password. [05:06] thats what I am trying to do the curser doesnt move nothing its like my keyboard freezes [05:06] stockbrian: worst case scenario: i'll have to buy a new mouse and keyboard [05:06] I just reinstalled with a clean install [05:06] steve2: Right, the cursor won't move. [05:06] steve2: quit looking at the screen and type it. [05:07] i typed it in and it just says try again i only used 1 pass when i set it up so I figure that should be it [05:07] bobino, yeah, without any inquiries to linux, I can't see what's wrong. I suggested digging more around the internet for options.. many say unplug-replug works... Good Luck. [05:07] bobino: when you hit numlock/capslock/scrolllock on your keyboard does the light change state? [05:07] stockbrian: cab you give me some references I could use? [05:07] bobino, sure one second. [05:08] now it worked thanks [05:08] lol [05:08] steve2, its definatly your keyboard, try putting it in the dishwasher to clean it ;) [05:08] can anyone tell me where/how I can create a new crontab? [05:09] Spirits-Sight: try sudo echo "#/bin/bash" > /usr/local/bin/webmplayer ; sudo echo "LD_PRELOAD=\"/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so\" mplayer -tv driver=v4l2:fps=30:device=/dev/video0 tv://" >> /usr/local/bin/webmplayer [05:09] lol this is my 3rd one in the last year damn kids keep pulling off my desk [05:09] mb_again: didn't try that [05:09] kilo `man corntab` rtfm [05:09] ty! [05:09] mb_again: when I try to type my password...nothing happens though [05:09] Spirits-Sight: Nevermind that. I'll give you a pastebin [05:09] thanks guys im out [05:10] So, after rebooting my Eee PC running Jaunty won't run in anything but 800x600. I restored xorg.conf and it didn't help. I currently suspect my monitors.xml needs fixing. . . [05:10] kilo: crontab -e will edit the crontab of the current user. When you save the file you will have a new crontab. It is usually better for hourly/daily scripts to link them into cron.hourly etc and let the system babysit them [05:10] Chronon, i have an eeepc and have always used the exact same xorg.conf for all installs, works like a charm [05:11] Yeah. I don't think it's an xorg.conf problem. [05:11] bobino, one good one I use all the time is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bugs [05:11] When I use make to create a kernel rathern the package method the file type of vmlinux is "ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1" Shouldn't it be: "Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS, root_" ? === Sirisian_ is now known as Sirisian [05:12] pfifo: The current one and my backup look the same. Restoring my backup xorg.conf didn't help. [05:12] !xorg > Chronon [05:12] Chronon, please see my private message [05:12] Chronon, well im still using 8.04 on my eee, so i cant really say for sure. I can pastebin my xorg.conf if you like [05:12] Spirits-Sight: Are you still there? [05:13] stockbrian: wow thanx....so much info...hours of reading...fun [05:13] mb_again_, how do I link them? I'm trying to get GNUCash to check stock prices daily / hourly... I have the command, just need to know how to let the system run it every so-often [05:13] Chronon: ubuntu generally sidesteps the xorg files and sets up the screen anohter way [05:13] ubottu: I'm consulting the link you sent me. Thanks [05:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:13] lol [05:14] hmmmm.. if I preorder karmic cds from shipit I'm not going to have them in time for a release party on the 31st am I? [05:14] ubottu, your sexy and intelligent [05:14] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:14] bobino, It's all searchable... Good Luck. [05:14] ubottu: you just have low self esteem [05:14] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:14] !botabuse [05:14] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [05:15] Whats a good mp3 player? [05:15] ipod [05:15] Window Media Player. [05:15] crohakon: do you want something minimal? audacious [05:15] :D [05:15] crohakon: rhythmbox [05:15] !players | crohakon [05:15] crohakon: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [05:15] ROFL wmp... [05:15] :-D [05:15] i use mplayer for litterally everything [05:15] oh that's why I get a vmlinux and a vmlinux.o file. Maybe I'm not supposed to use the make command? I'm just following the readme though which looks like it's wrong then. [05:15] winamp runs perfect in wine too [05:15] kilo: write the shell script (perl bash whatever) the normal way so it does the work and either writes the result to a known location or prints it as standard output. Put the script in /usr/local/bin. When all is working clean, you go to, say, /etc/cron.hourly/ and do ln -s /usr/local/bin/myworkerscript that creates the symlink. Then the cron process picks it up just after every hour and runs it. As said above, details in all the man [05:15] pages [05:15] <|biovore|> mplayer is nice.. it will even play pancakes.. :-P [05:16] is there any package like avimerge [05:16] I like Audacious [05:16] I think this channel has no sense of humor [05:16] it has a smidgeon [05:16] kilo: if you have the script output the results to standard output (write them) then cron will mail you the results [05:16] one time at band camp.. [05:16] I used to like amarok but then they 'improved' it and it really sucks now. [05:16] j/k [05:17] distrohopper: it's a teradork channel ;) [05:17] mb_again_, ok thanks... I think I get it... [05:17] lol peterrr === Mike_ is now known as Guest71841 [05:18] Is anyone familiar if theres a key combination to lock the screen --> screensaver [05:18] rather than selecting it in the top right corner [05:18] <|biovore|> ctrl-alt-l [05:18] <|biovore|> locks the screen [05:18] anon^_^, yeah alt+f4 [05:18] Thanks lbiovorel [05:18] pfifo: that worked back in the day with mIRC [05:18] anon^_^, alt-L [05:18] pfifo, not falling for that [05:18] mb_again_, couldn't I just copy the script directly into /etc/cron.hourly? [05:18] |biovore|, thanks that will come in handy [05:19] (wow it does, thanks pfifo) [05:19] kilo, yes [05:19] pfifo, ok cool, thx [05:19] kilo, chmod 0755 too [05:20] is there an easy way to benchmark basic 2d performance? [05:20] kilo: sure you could do that, but then I would have to find out where you live and come over and kill you. Using a symlink dodges certain errors. [05:20] QUESTION: I have an RPM package to install but Jaunty doesn't recognize it. Any help? [05:20] whats the terminal command for adding a user to a group [05:20] StockBrian, alien? [05:20] mb_again_, LOL ... thanks [05:20] StockBrian: what is the package? [05:20] !alien | StockBrian [05:20] Archive Type not supported. [05:20] StockBrian: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [05:20] hello [05:21] StockBrian, get the *.deb package [05:21] Roasted: addgroup groupadd, something like that. [05:21] "dangerous" being an understatement [05:21] pfifo, thanks, I'll try.. not sure if it's offered.

[05:28] ohh my bad, 2 different people [05:28] pfifo thanks i will see what happens [05:28] what would this tag to at the end of a crontab? " /dev/null 2>&1" [05:28] Jordan_U: not yet, machine not handy, going to see it now. [05:29] BOSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA [05:29] BOSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA [05:29] kilo, sends output and errors to /dev/null so you don't get an email every time it runs [05:29] Rikcardo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:31] ok, so in a crontab (if I'm making a generic one) the first few digits are the time? so like "0 16 * * 5 " is 16:00 on fridays? [05:31] hi, I [05:31] Jordan_U: would it still be (hd0,0) even though it is a usb attached drive ? [05:31] hipitihop, off the top of my head i bet the UUID in menu.lst dosent match the UUID of the drive, but it could also be that it cant find the kernel or initrd.img [05:32] hipitihop: If it's the only drive then I think yes, but try tab completion to list the drives [05:32] pfifo: so is it just as easy to boot from live cd desktop and somehow reinstate without losing current installation [05:33] kilo, that is correct [05:33] m using the ppa for intel xorg on a dell mini 9 ... ubuntu 9.04, and the last update made it so it doesn;t run at full screen resolution. I regenerated the xorg.conf using dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and it still only runs at 800x600 ... xrandr doesn;t show 1024x600 as an option... and I believe its using fb mode rather than intel [05:33] hipitihop, no, you just need to ensure that you menu.lst has the correct info in it. [05:33] I don [05:34] hipitihop, and that your kernel and initrd are on the drive [05:34] usser_, thank you. [05:34] t know how to check what server is reallyt running...

[05:43] Kajros-> its only on the menu, you get to choose [05:43] Kajros, the second entry is recovery mode [05:43] Kajros: It's the previous kernel versions [05:44] Kajros: Those are older kernel versions. Whenever there is a kernel upgrade the old versions are kept in case there is a problem with the new one, you can always boot the old one if you need to [05:44] Kajros: I had issues with v 15 and had to use v 14 for awhile - this easily gave me that option [05:44] Thanks just curious made me feel a bit uneasy lol [05:45] Kajros: naw, that's normal....

[06:00] hey my dpkg is locked [06:01] I used it mostly for passwords, but not only. I feel the various password managers I sampled are clunky, what more, that I'd prefer something usable from the commandline. VimCrypt is cumbersome and forces me to type the password twice. Other suggestions? [06:01] can you help me?

[07:27] nigel_nb_: i'm creating a script with something that create's symlink [07:27] sami__: whats your graphics card? [07:27] sami__: people will get pissed off if they have to prompt you for every bit of info [07:27] and won't bother helping you.

[07:31] or probing the moduled [07:31] you mean the x server setting ?? [07:31] sami__: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [07:31] it might not be in the actual default kernel Shaan7_ [07:31] sami__: ^^ in a terminal ^^ [07:32] Shaan7_: you need to possibly recompile your kernel and make sure it's above 2.6.28 [07:32] if you mean x server setting ,it's installed already [07:32] "modprobe gspca_sonixj" should be enough [07:32] sami__: no, i mean the specialized package for adjusting the settings of nVidia cards [07:32] Kalidarn: ok btw the kernel is 2.6.28-15-generic [07:32] * ElijahCMenifee is back (gone 00:11:29) [07:32] also i cant change the resolution from there [07:32] ok i'll try [07:32] !away > ElijahCMenifee [07:32] go into the kernel ie /usr/src/linux [07:32] ElijahCMenifee, please see my private message [07:32] it should be and do make menuconfig [07:32] and then check in the menu for CONFIG_USB_GSPCA_SONIXJ [07:33] and then make && make modules_install (although there's probably a specific thread on how to compile a kernel in ubuntu) [07:33] Shaan7_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [07:33] it tells >>>>>> nvidia-settings is already the newest version. [07:33] c0l2e: nothing [07:33] Kalidarn: ok, thanks will follow that ... [07:33] c0l2e: I have no clue [07:34] Shaan7_: it looks like actually u can access it through linux-headers packages [07:34] ok [07:34] sami__: look in the System menu for the nVidia settings preferences [07:34] Shaan7_: If you want to install a new kernel without compilation, you can use Synaptic, search for linux-image and select the kernel version you want to install. [07:35] Shaan7_: look for that module it might be installed. [07:35] Kalidarn:"linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic" is installed. what else to look for ?

[07:40] but here if i went to display option it tells that the monitor is unknown !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [07:40] but here in ubuntu if i went to display option it tells that the monitor is unknown !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [07:40] will firefox-3.5 come with karmic? [07:41] Bluey: here? [07:41] sup? [07:41] can open office open .doc files or .docx files? [07:41] insmod: sup? [07:41] Bluey: I figured out how to make ubuntu play nice with the vid card [07:41] any clue ???????? [07:41] Anyway I am trying to run a program requiring OpenGL and I get the error: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". What does this mean? [07:42] insmod: what did it turn out to be? [07:42] Bluey: funny only happened on 9.04 no other [07:42] sami__ : u have problem with screen resolution? [07:42] yes [07:42] chemjeff: Try installing the restricted drivers first. [07:42] Bluey: no idea i installed 9.10 worked with 8.x so I figured 9.10 should -- and it does [07:43] looking for opensuse-like menu under gnome. [07:43] Polarina: Which restricted drivers? [07:43] insmod: wow that's weird - thanks for passing that along! [07:43] chemjeff: What restricted drivers are available to you? ;) [07:43] springsteen > i can't change the resolution even from the nvidia x server setting !!!! [07:43] Bluey: I installed 9.04 4 times never worked even with the nv driver [07:43] Polarina: I am not sure what you mean. How can I find this information? [07:43] sami__ : i told you before you should open the terminal and then type gksu nvidia-settings and then you choose the screen resolution you desire and then apply and close [07:43] insmod: I remember you saying that.... [07:44] yes i did [07:44] chemjeff: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers. [07:44] Polarina: Do you mean nvidia drivers? [07:44] Kalidarn: I tried the menuconfig thing it said "This feature depends on another which has been configured as a module. As a result, this feature will be built as a module." when i tried to include the driver. What to do? [07:44] when I try to make a new login in a window, I get an error about X failing [07:44] chemjeff: Yes. [07:44] i can't change from there also [07:44] !! [07:44] sami__: Does it not change the resolution at all, or does it change but then revert later? [07:44] Bluey: which is funny because they say they don't modify debian that much -- but debian worked [07:44] any ideas on what the issue could be, and how to fix it? (the error suggests something may be wrong with the X config) [07:44] Polarina: I am not using a Nvidia card. System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers yields that I have no proprietary drivers in use. [07:45] chemjeff: Are there any drivers you can install? [07:45] I do have rotation set to CW in xorg.conf if that might be an issue [07:45] Polarina: I used to have a Nvidia card but it failed and now I am just using the onboard video card. [07:45] Polarina: No. [07:45] insmod: truly weird. - but otoh I've had some horror stories too - things worked on SuSE but NOT ubuntu [07:45] there are no high resolution just there are two options 640x430 [07:45] chemjeff: Does the onboard card support OpenGL? [07:45] and the other is lower than [07:45] Polarina: I don't know. How would I know if it does? [07:45] I deleted my xorg.conf and I thought it would be regenerated, but it wasnt't. However, when I restarted X, everything worked perfectly. xorg.conf isn't needed anymore? [07:45] Bluey: :) cheers [07:46] chemjeff: What onboard card do you have? [07:46] hi [07:46] Polarina: I don't know. How would I find this out? [07:46] chemjeff: Pastebin the output of lspci. [07:46] excuse me, what could cause my desktop to sudenly not be able to establish a network connect to a wired router? [07:46] crazy2k: hal does a lot now, you can still use it though if you need the control [07:46] Polarina: I get: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04) [07:46] after i enabled susepend after 1 hour of inactivity i got problems [07:47] Polarina: How do I pastebin? [07:47] are you with me please ?? [07:47] however, even after i do a complete reboot, it cant establish a network connection [07:47] glick: router turned off, break in cable, kernel dumps the driver, dhcp fail after lease expires [07:47] chemjeff: http://codepad.org/ [07:48] i entered the nvidia x server setting there are just two options for resolution and they are too low !!!!!! [07:48] I have a Microdia CCD PC Camera (PC390A) webcam which is listed at http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/USB_GSPCA_SONIXJ.html . So how to install the drivers? [07:48] insmod: I spent 6 months trying to figure out why my scanner worked with SuSE and mmmVista, but NOT ubuntu [07:48] Polarina: http://codepad.org/UhtBtqYC [07:48] sami__: did it give an error about not finding the driver? [07:48] no [07:48] Bluey:what was it [07:49] sami__: Weird. My displays autodetected just fine. [07:49] =o [07:49] nice [07:49] Bluey: xsane is good === shinobi is now known as Guest6242 [07:49] chemjeff: Pastebin the output of glxinfo. [07:49] the driver insttaled correctly [07:49] sami__: ok then run: gksudo nvidia-settings you can then click "Write to X config file" [07:49] smuxi enters here by default haha, and im an ubuntu user to boot. ;] [07:49] insmod: in desperation I copied the .sane files from suse to ubuntu - and it worked -- I don't know the original problem in ubuntu - but that fixed it - only took 6 months to figure out... [07:49] sami__: you can then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make the resolution whatever you like [07:50] Polarina: http://codepad.org/Vu6UTtnn [07:50] \o [07:50] sami__: If you're getting low options for your resolution settings, that usually means that the monitor's accepted resolutions aren't being detected. [07:50] Bluey: ah you had to edit the config [07:50] insmod: when I compared the files one used the usb reference, and one didn't [07:50] sami__: I had the same problem with an ATI card till I changed over, but I have no idea how I fixed it. >.> [07:50] Bluey: hmm [07:51] chemjeff: Pastebin the content of /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:51] insmod: SuSE used the usb reference, but NOT ubuntu and that fixed it.. [07:51] Polarina: http://codepad.org/9Kr8GRDZ [07:51] Bluey: cool debian thinks my web cam is the scanner [07:51] i think the problem is with the xorg.conf file [07:52] because there are now more details on it [07:52] insmod: I never got my webcam to work - they wanted my to d/l an old version of the compiler - the whole thing made no sense [07:52] chemjeff: Append the following to the bottom of /etc/X11/xorg.conf: http://codepad.org/qL78ka4T [07:52] Bluey: uvc webcams I find the best [07:52] Bluey: I use cheese [07:53] i tried to put the high resolution and restart the machine i got the "out of range " message on the screen [07:53] !!!!!!!!!!! [07:53] Got an evil script issue if anyone can help out... I'm trying to set a script up to spawn 6 terminals at startup. When I run the script manually it works fine, but if it's run at startup only one terminal starts at all. [07:53] insmod: I have a logitech webcam [07:53] Polarina: Okay so do I need to recompile the program? [07:53] chemjeff: No, just restart the computer. If the X server refuses to start for some reason, delete these lines you appended. [07:53] sami__: sounds like you have the wrong driver installed for your nvidia card [07:54] when I try to make a new login in a window, I get an error about X failing... any ideas on what the issue could be, and how to fix it? (the error suggests something may be wrong with the X config, and I do have rotation set to CW in xorg.conf if that might be part of the issue, but just curious to see if anyone else has experienced the same issue with window-based logins) [07:54] Bluey: is it uvc -- no they write there own drivers [07:54] Polarina: Okay, be right back! [07:54] insmod: let me see if I can find the page just a sec [07:54] sami__: what is the output of : lspci | grep -i vga [07:55] Polarina: Kalidarn told me that "modprobe gspca_sonixj" should work for my camera. I did it, do i need to do some insmod thingy after that ? [07:55] hi se olous [07:55] Shaan7_: You got the wrong person. [07:55] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1) [07:55] this is the output [07:55] www.ubuntu.com [07:55] sami__: ok which driver did you install? [07:56] Polarina: err. sorry for being impatient, asked because Kalidarn seems to be away. [07:56] jjjjjsxouwnej31wmds [07:56] Shaan7_: I don't even know what you're talking about. :P [07:56] same [07:56] version 173 [07:56] adamsubuntu: cat? [07:56] sudo/apps/internet/amsn [07:56] hello all [07:56] sami__: sounds good to me, tried the 180? [07:56] helllo [07:57] einai kaneis edo? [07:57] hi [07:57] Polarina: ok, just in general manpage says that modprobe adds/removes modules. so, is it customary to run some insmod after that ? [07:57] anyone know why my mouse keeps acting up? it seems like after a while, it just won't grab window focus [07:57] Shaan7_: A module should work from the moment it is modprobed. [07:57] ubuntu? im on wubi its a virtual [07:57] Got an evil script issue if anyone can help out... I'm trying to set a script up to spawn 6 terminals at startup. When I run the script manually it works fine, but if it's run at startup only one terminal starts at all. [07:57] i tried but it can't installed correctly i dont know why !!!

[07:59] i got an error srst failed errno=16 ata=1 [07:59] DesertEagle: The script does run, but only the first terminal is started out of 6. [07:59] yay for ebay :) and getting laptops more than half off :) [07:59] on ubuntu 8.10 and i cant boot to my kernel...they prompt me to ash and what should i do [07:59] sami__: no, the ;s mean it can be all one line [08:00] anyone know of any reasons why I cannot move Thunderbird from Internet to Office in the Main Menu editor? [08:00] Taroven1: pastebin your script [08:00] DesertEagle: One moment [08:00] ok i'll try to see [08:01] tehbaut: do you mean move your settings, or the actual app itself? [08:01] I just bought a laptop w/ an intel c2d 2.0ghz, 4g ddr3, Nvidia 9600M ... think it'll be able to support ubuntu? ;) [08:01] it's begin to download now !! [08:01] the app shortcut (in the main menu( [08:01] it's the only app that I cannot seem to move [08:01] tehbaut: or do you mean in just the menu [08:01] DesertEagle: http://pastebin.com/d4a312e1f [08:01] just in the menu [08:01] I suddenly have an odd problem with the header pthread.h: whenever I include it, even in an otherwise empty program, I get error messages starting at line 390: "/usr/include/pthread.h:390: error: expected ‘,’ or ‘...’ before ‘*’ token". This is with version 4.3.3 on ubuntu. Said line is part of the declaration of pthread_attr_setaffinity_np, and is the first place in the while where the type "cpu_set_t" appears. [08:01] DesertEagle: Tried with and without the amps at line ends [08:01] sami__: it basically removes ALL nvidia stuffs, then will install you the 180 driver from fresh [08:01] jwm windowmanager autostart problem solved [08:02] add jwmrc program [08:02] tehbaut: tried alacarte [08:02] no, what's that? [08:02] Taroven1: have you tried with only one per line? [08:02] lest hoping this will solve the situation !!!! [08:02] sami__: me too [08:02] DesertEagle: Ack, no, gimme a sec to try that. XD [08:03] Taroven1: ok, LOL [08:03] btw, I'm not entirely fond of the default panel functionality in 9.04 ...it's okay but very quirky [08:03] Polarina: Thank you, it worked like a charm! [08:04] chemjeff: Great! :D [08:04] after that i should restart the machine right ??? [08:04] ActionParsnip: ah, yes looks like I am using alacarte (which is where I'm having the issue) === spartan is now known as Guest34396 [08:05] sami__: indeed [08:05] Good night [08:05] so how can i return to here ??? cuase i dont know how i entered heheheh !!!! [08:05] tehbaut: its usually just drag and drop, if that fails, just make a new launcher in the right place and delete the stubborn one [08:05] sami__: load your client and join irc.freenode.net [08:06] ok, but I /was/ trying to avoid that :P [08:06] actually, never mind. I tracked it down to a conflict between two different versions of sched.h [08:06] sami__: you can then join #ubuntu [08:06] ahaa [08:06] nice === cp is now known as Guest25639 [08:06] DesertEagle: That worked, but the sleep isn't firing. [08:06] DesertEagle: I can live with that. =P [08:07] leave 2 for the sleep line [08:07] should work [08:07] I saw much offtopic words [08:07] if not... you'll live with that :P [08:07] anyone know why my mouse keeps acting up? it seems like after a while, it just won't grab window focus [08:07] DesertEagle: Hehe, yeah, just wanted to make sure the terms were starting after compiz kicked in, but it turns out they do with no timer anyway [08:08] Taroven1: glad it worked for ya [08:08] ^_^ [08:08] DesertEagle: Are you sure clicks are working at all when it starts acting up? [08:08] yeah, but not on the window i click them on... but rather the previous one [08:08] in update manager when i check for update this error appear 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 [08:08] Weird.

[08:11] Is there a way to restrict a certain application from accessing the internet? [08:11] also, there should be a pref to just download the screenshot :/ [08:11] !startup | firdau5 [08:11] firdau5: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [08:11] i would like to use the "create USB OS" tool, and use the function, keep space to save data, (an USB running system) , what is the best ISO to download for that ?

[08:11] FluxD: you could set its to have a proxy of some made up IP, it wont connect then [08:12] tehbaut: It's more efficient that way. While a little confusing, from a programmer's perspective it's a choice between yet another check when the package's description is loaded or the more cpu-friendly "Let's just display the button and try to load the screeny anyway" approach. [08:12] babak: lsb_release -c [08:12] ActionParsnip, what if it doesnt have proxy support? [08:12] ActionParsnip: do you know of an app which can expose zero-width spaces, the unicode character, so that I can delete them? [08:12] FluxD: block it by port [08:12] lilzeus: grep possibly [08:12] DesertEagle, how do I figure out what port it uses? [08:12] netstat [08:13] FluxD: then you will have to configure your firewall to block the app / port it uses [08:13] Taroven1: as I said, there should be a preference that allows auto-downloading (just so we can minimize the annoyance) ;) [08:13] I want to block it before it connects to internet? [08:13] tehbaut: Agreed, heh. [08:13] i got no 'session' on my preference panel [08:13] how? [08:13] DesertEagle: do you have FFM turned on? [08:13] ActionParsnip: is grep a gui app?

[08:18] hi [08:19] what [08:19] Taroven1: well as you probably know, Synaptic PM has a ton of pkgs [08:19] ueah [08:19] but I assume most of them have no screenshot anyway :P [08:19] timed out omg [08:19] mneptok: but that just made the window focus get grabbed on mouse over, rather than on click ( i prefer it to get focus when i click) [08:19] hey [08:19] tehbaut: Yeah. I never do count on a screeny when I'm in synaptic looking for something. [08:19] who uses msn? [08:19] cuz i do [08:19] aMSN? [08:20] yes i do [08:20] Taroven1: does SC support upgrades, like newer versions of FF, etc (although I assume FF won't have any yet, since 3.5 is the current stable) [08:20] so... [08:20] ... [08:20] what's your question then? [08:20] dunno whats yours [08:20] ??? [08:20] I'm sitting in the live cd right now, attempting to do a manual LVM encrypted setup (I need to do it like this, because the alternative cd only does it for you if you use the entire disc.. an option I don't have since I have to have Windows with Bitlocker along side this... I'm running into one issue with the official guide though.. When using modprobe to do this: "sudo modprobe dm-mod" I get this: "FATAL: Module dm_mod not found." .. any idea why that [08:20] be happening? I've installed cryptsetup, initramfs-tools, hashalot and lvm2 [08:20] tehbaut: Actually not sure. I haven't messed with it too much, but I don't see an obvious option to check for upgrades. [08:20] know how to fix a window focus issue i'm having? [08:20] adamsubuntu: do you need assistance with something? this is a support channel. [08:20] hellolo [08:21] xchat [08:21] are you there ?? [08:21] who uses mebo? [08:21] i do [08:21] sami__: sup [08:22] i did what ever you said [08:22] adamsubuntu: please stop polling what people use. if you have a support question, ask it. if not, use #ubuntu-offtopic. [08:22] mneptok: well it seems that switching back and forth fixed the issue.... for now :( [08:22] but after restarting i got no driver on the hardware list [08:22] illio: Try "modprobe -l dm-mod" just in case [08:22] !!! [08:23] sami__: but does nvidia-settings work ok? [08:23] illio: Also try with an underscore instead of a hyphen just in case [08:23] hello [08:23] no [08:23] again [08:23] also not work [08:23] Taroven1: hmm.. no return.. what was -l supposed to do? [08:23] List === rsc____ is now known as rsc___ [08:23] im using wubi [08:23] lol [08:23] Taroven1: oh, so returning nothing is in this case a bad thing :-) [08:23] lolz [08:24] Taroven1: underscore didn't help either [08:24] illio: Yeah. Try with a wildcard in there, ie: modprobe -l dm-* [08:24] actually modprobe -l dm* [08:24] Might get a lot of results, but SOMETHING should pop up [08:24] so how !! [08:24] Taroven1: dm-crypt, dm-zero, dm-raid, dm-mem-cache, dm-region_hash, dm-message, dm-loop and dm-bbr .. dm-crypt I've already loaded [08:25] sami__: can you uit with the exclamation marks, its very redundant [08:25] sami__: try with nvidia-glx-96 instead [08:25] Taroven1: removing the - gave dmfe, dm9601, dm1105, dmx3191d and dme1737 with the things I said before also [08:25] i didn't got your point [08:26] illio: It's definitely not installed then. [08:26] sami__: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-96 [08:26] are there any decent screenshot apps that support scrolling windows/regions? [08:26] illio: the LVM encryption on the alternate installer encrypts partitions, not disks [08:27] looking for a good techsmith replacement [08:27] Taroven1: any idea how to get it installed? .. According to the official Ubuntu page here, it was supposed to be in the packages cryptsetup, initramfs-tools, hashalot and lvm2 .. somewhere.. But apparently it isn't. [08:27] illio: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/+bug/343147 ... there's a start. [08:27] ok i'll do [08:27] Ah ha [08:27] mneptok: No .. the only way to make it install encrypted LVM for you is to use the entire disc.. checked the alternative installer yesterday.. [08:27] tehbaut, I know one for firefox [08:27] illio: "Load the LVM module - modprobe dm-mod. You can skip this step in Jaunty (9.04) because the dm-mod module is compiled into the kernel." [08:28] FluxD: I really need one for the whole system [08:28] Taroven1: oh.. nice :-) ..thanks.. hadn't seen that [08:28] k [08:28] illio: Glad to be of service. Hopefully that helped. [08:28] illio: incorrect [08:28] Well, helps. [08:28] Taroven1: I believe it did :-) .. [08:28] Cool. :) [08:28] illio: LVM encryption should not include /boot, as you may need a kernel for LVM disaster recovery [08:29] illio: that's obviously impossible if you encrypt the entire disc. [08:29] mneptok: then show me where, because according to every guide I've seen the alternative installer assumes it can use the entire disc.. [08:29] illio: i'm using it now [08:30] mneptok: well of course it can't encrypt /boot.. but it still demands the entire disc to setup encrypted lvm.. it doesn't allow you to have other systems running alongside Linux === anthony is now known as Guest87121 [08:30] illio: it *can* encryot /boot. you just shouldn't. [08:31] mneptok: you won't be able to boot if you do.. so that would not make much sense [08:31] illio: like i say, i'm using dm-crypt now. and only 2 of 4 partitions are encrypted [08:32] mneptok: just found the direct quote from the interface (Under Partitioning method:): "Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM" .. [08:33] illio: That if you choose guided [08:33] illio: You can still choose to instead set it up manually [08:34] Jordan_U: yeah okay.. sure that you can do.. but the installer still doesn't really do it for you.. that's not really much easier than just doing everything yourself form the live cd.. but sure if that's what mneptok meant, then yes.. then you can use the alternative installer === kb is now known as Guest15893 [08:36] is there a better menu for gnome??? [08:38] hsarci: which menu ;f [08:38] DaZ, the application launcher menu [08:38] hsarci: slab [08:39] DaZ, ill look it up [08:39] DaZ, also, do you know about getting avant intalled on karmic? [08:39] installed* [08:39] hsarci: i'm not a gnome person [08:39] hey. For some reason, thunderbird starts up before compiz, and thus prevents compiz and desktop in general from loading up, so I have to close thunderbird before I can do anything else. (Ubuntu 9.04 and thunderbird2+lightning addon that is connected to gnome-panel clock applet). Any ideas how to solve this, got no idea what to even google for.... [08:42] hsarci: sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator i believe [08:43] Blarg: make a script to launch thunderbird, but have a sleep command at the tart of it [08:43] ActionParsnip, yeah i just tried that too, thanks [08:43] I'm trying to install ubuntu 9.04 but the installer dies and leaves me with a blackscreen and "_" without a prompt after /casper/initrd.gz..........[...] ready [08:43] why? [08:43] de9ine|two: did you md5 test the iso?did you run the cd self-verifier [08:44] hollaaa [08:44] ActionParsnip: but I don't wanna start thunderbird at all in startup [08:44] Blarg: then take it out of your startup items / ~/.config/autostart [08:45] it isn't there [08:45] Blarg: then go into the startup items menu and tell gnome to not remember the items you had running [08:46] ActionParsnip: kk, I'll try that [08:46] hi, i'm getting constant short freeze-ups (no mouse response, screen freezes) on my fresh jaunty install, makes the system mostly unusable. trying to figure out what the problem is; suspecting maybe firefox or flash but... [08:47] ActionParsnip: atm, it isn't set to remember the items I had running ._. [08:47] patbam: when it unfreezes, open a terminal and run: dmesg | tail [08:47] ActionParsnip: ok [08:47] still only thunderbird does this, for some reason [08:47] ActionParsnip: what about just running dmesg |tail -f [08:47] Blarg: not sure then those are the 3 things I know will make stuff run at startup [08:48] patbam: because we only need the last few lines surrounding the freeze [08:48] patbam: if yuor command gives better info, go for it [08:49] ...and startup, at least before, starts the desired apps after the desktop (and compiz) had loaded [08:49] ActionParsnip: ok, will get a pastebin link in here when i get some data. thanks [08:50] ActionParsnip: hmm, just got a freezeup but nothing came up in dmesg [08:51] any ideas what to google for? what could this be related to? so far I've only found about problems where it doesn't start at startup as desired [08:51] ActionParsnip: xorg seems to be showing up a lot in top, could that be relevant? [08:51] selam [08:51] patbam: very possibly [08:52] nobody never use the USB creator tool ? [08:52] patbam: have you installed video card drivers? [08:52] ActionParsnip: not that i know of, it's just a standard install [08:52] I used it surfzoid [08:52] and I'm sure plenty more people have [08:52] patbam: that may be why, get your video drivers installed fully and it should help [08:52] one datum that mightbe relevant is that i bough the monitor (a samsung 16:9 ratio) and the machine separately [08:53] ActionParsnip: hmm interesting [08:53] can anyone help me use a filter I installed to remove u+FEFE from the paste-buffer...maybe assign it to a keyboard shortcut? [08:53] ok i will try to figure out my video card [08:53] Appiah: what is the best iso to download, to have an USB key with ubuntu on it and be able to save pref and data ? [08:53] patbam: lspci | grep -i vga will tell you what it is (bets its some intel rubbish) [08:53] insmod: are you here? internesting news [08:53] surfzoid: I dont understand how an iso could be better then another one? [08:53] ActionParsnip: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon 2100 [08:53] patbam: 2nd choice [08:54] I dont see what that has to do with the USB Creator tool at all [08:54] :) [08:54] is it possible to search item in a image?? [08:54] patbam: k lets wesearch how we get this on [08:54] Appiah: because some iso are live, dvd .... and i see an USB iso for netbook !! [08:54] ?? [08:54] well select the one you want to use then [08:54] ActionParsnip: found this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver (thanks so much for your help, btw) [08:54] http://ubuntu.mirrors.proxad.net/jaunty/ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img [08:54] check the box and use the slider to select how much space you want to use [08:55] if you dont like it you can just download another iso and use it [08:55] It's not like a CD-R which you cant change [08:55] pdf to image and then searching into it. is it possbile?? [08:55] I never used a netbook so I cant say good or bad about it [08:56] Appiah: what about http://ubuntu.mirrors.proxad.net/jaunty/ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img i m not sur to understand if i can use the live cd one and will be able to save data or if i use the NRU [08:56] oki [08:56] patbam: cool, np man [08:56] ActionParsnip: should i try installing ATI binary X.Org driver? it's in synaptic [08:56] its free to try, you can always uninstall it [08:57] ActionParsnip: okay, i think i will give that a shot now [08:57] Appiah: so if i take the http://ubuntu.mirrors.proxad.net/jaunty/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso i will use the tool and after i will boot on the usb pen, answer a few pref question, and then the next time it will boot as an normal ubuntu install on all PC ? [08:58] it would be the same as if you made it into a CD [08:58] with saved files [08:58] Hi guys! older ubuntu versions had a menu item to configure shared volumes (nfs), but I can't find it in jaunty. Has it been removed? [08:58] places -> connect to server paolob_ ? [08:59] paolob_, do you mean like sharing folders? [08:59] how to specify the file browser to be opened in GNOME Places on the menu ? [08:59] mattgyver, yes [09:00] surfzoid: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent here's a wiki for all your LiveUSB needs [09:00] Appiah, no, that item only connects to servers [09:00] how to specify the file browser to be opened in GNOME Places on the menu ? [09:00] paolob you should be able to right click the folder in nautilus and select 'sharing options' [09:00] Appiah: so you mean, each time i will boot on the USB, i will setup all, keyboard langue .... [09:00] Anyone tried compiling Grumbel's xboxdrv under 9.10? I'm getting a build error. [09:00] oki [09:00] surfzoid: no , please read the link [09:00] icarus-c_, do you want to add menu items? [09:01] or like, add folders in the places menu, im confused [09:01] !karmic | Taroven1 [09:01] Taroven1: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic is BETA and MAY break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [09:01] like when i clicked Places -> Documents, thunar jumps out instead of nautilus [09:01] KB1JWQ: Quite aware. [09:01] Ahh... that i dont know but maybe check within the gconf-editor [09:01] Nobody's responding there though =P [09:01] might be a key you can change there to call thunar as opposed to nautilus [09:01] Taroven1: AKA "We don't talk about that here." [09:02] ActionParsnip > are you there ?? [09:02] paolob_, ive learned over time that nautiuls really kinda just sucks for file sharing, if you have the time to figure it out look into setting the shares up directly within samba's smb.conf [09:03] mattgyver: and it opens nautilus if i click on icons on desktop [09:03] icarus-c_, maybe you can go into preferred applications in the preferences menu somewhere [09:04] no you cant [09:04] hey icarus-c_ i think i found it out [09:04] mattgyver: huh? [09:05] open gconf-editor and go to desktop>gnome>applications>component_viewer [09:05] change exec to 'thunar %s' [09:05] mattgyver: i'm looking at browser O.o [09:05] browser would be for internet though [09:05] mattgyver, I haven't smb, but nfs shareas [09:05] shares [09:05] mattgyver: well, actuall i want to use nautilus [09:06] mattgyver: and it is already nautilus %s there [09:06] yeah it should be [09:06] So...You dont want to change nautilus to thunar? [09:06] Promote ubuntu 9.04, add tweet ribbon ubuntu symbol to your profile photo,http://twibbon.com/join/ubuntu-910-karmic-koala-3,go on twitter users, make it success [09:06] mattgyver: interesting thing is that when i click on Places -> Documents, it opens thunar instead of nautilus. but if i click on desktop icons, it opens nautilus for me [09:06] moin [09:07] Promote ubuntu 9.04, add tweet ribbon ubuntu symbol to your profile photo of twitter,http://twibbon.com/join/ubuntu-910-karmic-koala-3,go on twitter users, make it success, its really cool to do.............. [09:07] icarus-c_, do you really need both, my next thought is remove thunar all together [09:07] im not really sure why you have both anyway, are you on xubuntu? [09:08] mattgyver: sh.... i'm on Arch [09:08] Oh okay, its our secret [09:08] :) [09:08] it is the number of people on this channel attracted me :P [09:09] Its hard to say why its doing it, is thunar the default in arch? === dejavu is now known as ergun [09:09] anyone wants lockerz invites?

[09:11] scorpionfoot: ask directly [09:11] mattgyver: is android sexy?

[09:17] icarus-c_: thanks [09:17] pk: just apache + mysql + php/perl [09:18] @pk full circle , the free ubuntu pdf mag on the net did a good lamp article [09:18] scorpionfoot: you mean integrated chip ? [09:18] I'm hoping yes. I'm running 9.10 beta, fully updated. My left speaker is much, much more quiet than my right; I've gone to sound preferences and balanced out the left and right speakers, and the problem persists no matter what hardware profile I use, or sound I listen to. [09:18] pk: install tasksel, then run "sudo tasksel" and select "LAMP Server" [09:18] yeah icarus, as in an intel gma 915 [09:18] scorpionfoot: intel chip usually works fine [09:18] * icarus-c_ should study english grammar ... [09:18] is it good to give sudo apt-get install php httpd mysql php-mysql? [09:19] intel's a lovely manufacturer who actually releases open drivers [09:19] maco: yay yay [09:19] i am about to try karmic but after that if backlight still doesnt work after boot splash i will have to go back to eindows [09:19] pk: you should use apache2 instead of httpd and add libapache2-mod-php [09:19] anyone think they can help me out, at least identify whether the speaker has lost potency or it's a software issue? [09:19] maco: i will buy laptop only with intel chip&graphics [09:19] icarus-c_: ditto on wireless [09:20] maco: sure thing :P [09:20] icarus-c_: both my laptops are intel wireless/graphics [09:20] this laptop mim2120 is about 2005 [09:20] but sadly i havn't buy any laptop yet.. [09:20] i gave install php apache2 libapache2-mod=php mysql php-mysql but got error "couldnt find package php" [09:20] all i did was standard install of ubunut then run updates [09:20] at least its not up to me to make the decision [09:20] pk: just do the tasksell thing i said [09:20] should i have to manually add a gfx driver? [09:20] Nehtaro, had this problem with windows a long time ago and it turned out the speakers where bad...how old are yours and do they work with other systems? [09:20] pk: it gets all the pieces [09:21] pk: maybe php5 [09:21] not sure [09:21] scorpionfoot: No. [09:21] hwo to install taskcell? [09:21] on launchpad i have seen many mentions of backlight problems with intel yet cant find a fix [09:21] if i install 8.04, will dist-upgrade to 9.04 first get 8.10? [09:21] scorpionfoot: that would be about acpi, not intel driver [09:21] ketarax: you will need to manually go to 8.10 first [09:21] rgr [09:22] *i suppose [09:22] thanks [09:22] so i should just look at acpi settings somewhere ? [09:22] scorpionfoot: well, bundling with acpi settings is quite geeky [09:22] purpefool: they're about 4 years old, and didn't have problems until recently. Of course, I've had Ubuntu for a while, so it's probably either a problem with 9.10 or the speaker just dying down. I have no other computers or OSes to test it with, but would testing it in virtualbox work? [09:22] maco : how to use tasksell? [09:22] i have mac os leopard on my pc if that tells you im a geek haha [09:23] problem is i have about 6months ubuntu experience but only vms [09:23] pk: "sudo apt-get install tasksel && sudo tasksel" then just use space/arrows/enter to select LAMP [09:23] scorpionfoot: you thief! [09:23] meh [09:24] hey i bought leopard and the apple sticker is on the case -jobs aint got a thing on me! [09:24] scorpionfoot: sure you dont have a button for it somewhere? my intel-based laptop has a "turn off the backlight now" button [09:24] yes i do on the keyboard -u mean like a fn and F5 key? [09:24] scorpionfoot: yeah usually a fn key [09:25] scorpionfoot: maybe you just need to press that [09:25] purplefool: it's a Creative SBS260 fyi [09:25] haha as if i havent tried those keys already [09:25] scorpionfoot: maybe http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acpid#Laptop_Monitor_Power_Off [09:25] atm im having to hook up a crt display [09:25] *shrug* ok ten [09:26] well im going to bed. good luck. === vlt is now known as bobby_tables [09:26] cheers anyway maco adios [09:26] tasksell : aptitude failes(100) this error after pressing lamp server [09:26] thanks icarus [09:26] Why Ubuntu doesn't have system-wide internationalization support in 2009?

The tests say, "Could not open audio device for playback". My computer is an XPC. I'm trying to determine the audio chipset. One page says it has, "6-channel audio via 865G ICH5 and RealTek ALC650 codec" [09:59] nas [09:59] does that mean 865G ICH5 is my chipset? [09:59] hi [10:00] NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME. What causes it and what can I do about it? [10:00] i'm trying to make a metadistro based on Ubuntu Server Hardy (because of the LTS) but i'm having touble adding some packages to my custom cd, i have to get the debs i want to include, but... is it the same if i get the packages (.deb) from an Ubuntu Jaunty? or can i just change the sources.list files to hardy to get them? any ideas? [10:01] i have ATI xpress 200m, use opensource driver, when resume from suspend, the screen splash , must restart the machine, how can I fix this? [10:05] gsevil, don't suspend ;) [10:07] gsevil: basically - don't suspend or use the proprietary driver [10:09] buongiorno chi mi può aiutare [10:09] Hi. How do you checkout http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?root=CMake ? I never did something with CVS up to now, and the quick n dirty guide fails to explain this 'intuitive' tool (am familiar with svn, git, hg, bzr tho...) [10:09] goodbye [10:09] Does anybody here use XBMC and was able to get their PS3 Bluetooth remote control to work?

(click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [10:12] Ispanakl: right click @ panel -> Add item? === csc_ is now known as TeTeT [10:13] I know you can do this manually but, is there a package that lets you dock a window to the desktop... like embed it into the wallpaper? [10:15] should you remove nvidia drivers if you are temporary switching to a ati card? [10:15] Hi. Am trying to automate installation of a package from repository. It asks three questions with debconf style. I know I can pre define these answers with debconf-set-selections. problem is, I don't know the string to set with debconf-set-selections. How can I find out what the package are questioning about? I guess it's in the source package and debian directory? [10:16] akeripper_, you probably dont need to you, might just require that you temporarily disable the card... probably someplace in x.org [10:16] i think i mean xorg, im really tired [10:17] why do I need to compile libs after I download (or compile) my ALSA driver? [10:18] huh [10:18] alsa driver?... [10:19] akeripper_: yes you better remove nvidia driver [10:19] sound driver [10:19] akeripper_: coz afaik, nvidia comes with their own libgl [10:19] icarus [10:19] wavez: what is your sound card [10:19] im getting karmic [10:19] lspci -v [10:20] scorpionfoot: is it 9.10? [10:20] i will return on here in an hour or 2 to let u know if the karmic kernel fixes backlight issue [10:20] icarus-c: lspci -v [10:20] yes [10:20] errr [10:20] sorry [10:20] icarus-c: SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) [10:21] scorpionfoot: what backlight issue? [10:21] icarus-c: the realtek website indicated that I should download ALSA 0.9.4 [10:21] intel gpu backlight issue in most kernels on many laptops [10:22] does ubuntu 9.04-desktop ship with a running apache2 by default? [10:22] (or in other words: Where can I find a list of pre-installed packages?) [10:23] wavez: better forget about downloading driver from vendor's website with linux... [10:23] the_undefined, no apache is not included with 9.04-desktop, i dont even think its included with server [10:23] the_undefined: dpkg --get-selections [10:23] something like this [10:24] wavez: what is the output of sudo "lspci -v" [10:24] mattgyver, lucent: thanks, Then one of the hundred packages I just installed had a dependency it should not have had [10:24] in a few icarus and cheers for all your help so far [10:24] the_undefined: Take a peek at ubuntu-desktop [10:24] bye [10:24] scorpionfoot: adios [10:24] haha adios [10:25] icarus-c: which item in the output am I looking for? I don't see any mention of sound [10:25] the_undefined: Ubuntu as an OS is a pretty fast moving target [10:25] who's to say right or wrong on how to install... anything at all? [10:26] the_undefined: The desktop CD does not come with Apache, no. [10:26] you'll try things repeatedly until you find a method that works for you [10:26] wavez: Audio [10:26] I figured it out. Seems like the 'php5' package installed it, I guess I just want php5-cgi & php5-cli anyway [10:26] so thanks for the help [10:27] I saw a mouse (and not the computer kind) [10:27] waiting for it to snare itself in one of my many peanutbutter laced death machines of epic trap-i-ness [10:28] Mars Bars works pretty good too [10:28] * lucent takes note [10:28] icarus-c: it only lists the host bridge, VGA, 5 USB controllers, PCI bridge, ISA bridge, 2 IDE interfaces, SMBus, Ethernet, and FIreWire [10:29] hey. anyone sees any difficulties in replacing dhclient with dhcpcd? [10:29] wavez, what are you trying to find again? [10:30] whyz: one's a client, one's a server... [10:30] frogzoo, no, dhcpd is the server, dhcpcd is the client [10:30] Does anyone know how to disable the blinking of the WLAN-LED on my HP Compaq 8710w laptop? Whenever there is traffic on the WLAN the LED blinks, and since it is located on the top of the keyboard/computer it bugs me =( Did not have this in my older installation, 7.10, some things may ... [10:30] oic [10:30] ... have happend since then though =) [10:30] mattgyver: trying to make my audio work. Can't figure out what chipset I have. [10:30] rooth: electrical tape. yo. [10:30] lucent: =) [10:31] I point out the most easiest way that is easy, and lazy. [10:31] rooth: take a look in /etc/acpi [10:31] rooth: electric tape worked for me too =3 do it [10:31] pfft @ fixes in hardware [10:31] hello [10:31] there's no reason to warn you away from hacking your software [10:31] yo yo yo [10:31] it's just a pain [10:32] Id like to do aptitude search on an exact name [10:32] tstebut: apt-cache search ### [10:32] tstebut: use regexp? like uh aptitude search ^exactname$ [10:32] that's all, is it possible, cause the FM don't help [10:32] oh ok [10:33] frogzoo: ok, thx *looking* [10:33] . [10:33] yeah I like your regexp tip, yhank you all [10:34] wavez, sorry i was afk, try an lshw (might need to install it) and look for the multimedia section, see if that helps [10:34] I grep therefore I am.... lazy. [10:34] mattgyver: np. Thanks, I'll try that. [10:34] lucent: i'd say smart, rather than lazy :) [10:35] do servers like mondays these days? [10:36] wavez, the more i look through my output the less i think its gonna show [10:36] mattgyver: it looks a lot the same as the lspci list. I notice *-serial UNCLAIMED [10:36] the chipset anyway... it might show you enough detail to figure it out [10:36] description: SMBus [10:36] could that be related? [10:37] I dont think so [10:37] some of my searches indicated that the ICH5 chipset (?) is related to my audio [10:37] I'll paste it. It's from a page which lists specs on my pc [10:37] audio: "6-channel audio via 865G ICH5 and RealTek ALC650 codec" [10:38] http://techreport.com/articles.x/5176/1 [10:38] Oh, I've got a list of packages to install , that are available on Oracle, RedHat and Suse (oracle), but I can't find exact correspondance in aptitude repo on my Ubuntu....what 'd be the good practice for me to install'em ? [10:39] tstebut: manually [10:40] aptitude show libaio1 [10:40] sorry [10:40] * sampaths wave [10:40] tstebut, if there are rpm's available anywhere for them you could use alien to install them [10:42] !alien [10:42] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [10:42] if my Core2 does support LM (Long Mode) I can still use the AMD64 install disc to install a 64bit distro can;'t i? [10:43] is the keyserver.ubuntu.com down? [10:43] can't get a gpg key [10:43] umm i am downloading a .rpm for vmware player [10:43] should i have taken .bundle file instead [10:43] is anyone having a problem with gunzip with .tar.gzś on koala? [10:43] or what [10:44] if rpm will not install for this ubuntu [10:44] jvainio, i dont even know what a .bundle file is so i think the answer is no [10:45] But... what is vmware player? [10:45] frogzoo: what's the tosh-prefix on some of the entries in /etc/acpi ? I fail to see where too look for the LED-blinking, all I see are the events that'll happen once I press the key(s) and how I can remap those. [10:45] it is a software for running windows under linux [10:45] and i want to use windows because this piece of .... doesnt want to show my pictures when i try to add them to an internet site [10:46] eg. the files show ok in the file browser [10:46] but when i try to go to the site and press add and then go to the dir, no files [10:46] rooth: grep -i led * ? [10:46] jvainio, so its just vmware then [10:46] even though they are of supported format [10:46] I prefer virtualbox [10:46] and its in the repos [10:46] wait, no its not, its on suns site as a .deb [10:46] mattgyver - i think its a lighter version or osmething, as i have only seen vmware on windows before and it was of a different look [10:46] * Blizzerand huggles ubottu [10:47] what is the difference between A-Record and CNAME? [10:47] no pda [10:47] frogzoo: so the way to move forward would be too look at the Asus-entries even though I have a HP/Compaq? [10:47] but yeah the reason why i am using vmware is a stupid thing [10:47] i figure no-one here can know answer to my superadvanced question [10:47] which is too bad.. [10:47] javinio, ask [10:47] rooth: could well be [10:47] im sure i cant, but try [10:47] reeniginEesreveR, im no expert but I think an A-Record is in reference to website hosting [10:48] frogzoo: OK, I'll dig further, thank you for the pointer. [10:48] rooth: another thing, try 'ps aux |grep ledcontrol' [10:48] an A-record is the highest level website, and i think somehow someway always prioritized by DNS servers.. something crazy like that. [10:48] mattgyver, icarus-c, I gotta hit the hay. Thanks for your help fellas. Any quick suggestions where I should begin my searching when I'm able to work on this next time? [10:48] Hey, im running crunchbang from a usb stick here - how can i access remote windows shared files? I need to contact a file server but i haven't found any way to browse the network [10:48] mattgyver is it ok to private message you [10:49] jvainio, yup [10:49] how I can use a remote controller that came with the computer with Kubuntu? === abc_ is now known as Guest18103 [10:50] ActionParsnip: that driver didn't work out as planned, i'm on a livecd now :) [10:50] ActionParsnip: can i uninstall that driver from this livecd? [10:51] patbam: if you boot to recovery root console from grub, you can remove the package there using apt-get === JaredWigmore is now known as JaredW [10:51] ActionParsnip: ah... i shall look up how to do that. i just ended up wtih a bit of fuzz on a black screen, btw. [10:52] rooth: or yet again, it may be an option passed to the driver [10:52] patbam: esc when grub shows up, select recovery mode, select root [10:52] ActionParsnip: ah ok. off to try that. thanks! [10:54] Does anybody here use Deluge GUI to access their headless server? [10:55] hi all [10:55] I can't make Ubuntu access WebDAV while cadaver successfuly logs in and lists files. One more broken thing in Ubuntu? [10:56] It tells me: HTTP Authorization Required. While I definitely specify username and password [10:57] frogzoo: no hit on ledcontrol, unfortunately. I think you're right that it is a driver thingie. I'm amazed though that there is so few relevant hits on Google for this issue. [10:58] rooth: http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-precision/2008-February/001316.html [10:59] How does mplayer ubuntu package block gnome screensaver, by changing the original code, or by heartbeat-smd [11:00] sampaths: heartbeat command I think [11:01] anybody know much about dancer-ircd? [11:02] just set up an IRC server on my home machine and I want to set up ops and get nickerv working [11:02] how can i pass username and password with fusesmb? [11:03] Viliny: it's not in the man page? [11:03] how to change setting in gconf-editor? [11:04] O__o; i think you have to run as root, but run gconf-editor and make the change and close [11:04] mattgyver: no [11:04] sudo gconf-editor? [11:05] yeah [11:05] icarus-c, am i wrong? [11:05] O__o: run as the user you want to make change [11:05] o ok [11:05] gconf are user specific [11:05] how? [11:05] if you do sudo gconf-editor, it would change the config for root [11:05] O__o: just run gconf-editor [11:06] i have a question for kernel rt. I wont use a clocksource=acpi_pm (now use TSC) for overclock my FSB. There is problem with this clocksource? [11:07] but when i check /apps/compiz/general/screen0/options/sync_to_vblank in gconf-editor, the next time i open gconf-editor it is unchecked again [11:07] *want [11:08] O__o: something is unchecking it. [11:08] that's the logical answer here [11:08] lucent, what is? [11:08] in more direct terms, you're good to modify that with gconf-editor [11:09] do u guys experience some screen tearing when playing back video? [11:09] but the underlying setting is being set another way [11:09] O__o: amongst other visual glitches, sure [11:10] when i boot into windows all video r fin [11:10] am running intel gma hardware though [11:10] fine [11:10] O__o: maybe something else is doing that? [11:10] O__o: that is about xorg driver option [11:10] maybe EXASync could solve it [11:11] i have geforce 7600 GT [11:11] consult nvidia manual [11:11] geforce7600 GT using non-free driver, screen tearing with or without compiz [11:12] intel crappy card in dell netbook with ubuntu but no screen tearing [11:12] is it just nvidia? [11:12] is it just intel is nearly perfect :P [11:13] intel is crap i cant play HD video there [11:13] icarus-c: it only made me wait 2 years to get proper compiz support [11:13] intel got UXA :D [11:13] yeah that too [11:13] still an occasional glitch here and there [11:14] 1420n inspiron dell [11:14] ubuntu? [11:14] don't suppose anyone has thought about making an Ubuntu theme for Chrome yet [11:14] andypiper, Chrome you mean google chrome? [11:14] yeah [11:15] I know Googlers who still cling to Firefox heh [11:15] to which I suppose the answer is, it's non-free so... [11:15] lol [11:15] andypiper, well as far as I can see google chrome uses the gtk2 theme you h ave going [11:15] can u install chrome browser in ubuntu? [11:15] well... yes but it looks wrong on UNR [11:15] d === PuTrA_caem is now known as co_senang [11:15] O__o, yes [11:15] O__o, why would u want that?:D [11:16] I installed a darker theme to match Dust and Human Netbook a bit better but the tabs are still blue [11:16] O__o, http://www.ghacks.net/2009/06/06/install-google-chrome-on-linux-and-why-you-should/ [11:16] just wanna try it out [11:16] I find Firefox chews cpu on the Aspire One [11:16] when will ubuntu rule the world? [11:17] eracoon, TOMORROW! [11:17] of course [11:17] eracoon, the more you advertise it and show people what it can do the more it will rule :) [11:17] O__o: maybe give AccelMethod exa & EXASync yes a try? [11:17] ubuntu is so great and easy to use but dont know why people keep using windows [11:17] O__o: or nvidia-settings [11:17] andypiper: *huge* improvements are being made in Firefox resource usage with newer codebase, that is to say it was pretty damn embarassingly sluggish in most releases that people are using today :/ [11:17] I allready converted 3 users :P [11:17] O__o: those people are helpless [11:17] icarus-c, what r those [11:17] O__o, applications for windows and many games [11:17] O__o: xorg.conf stuff [11:18] how? [11:18] the rest is not ready to be unplugged... from windows [11:18] between, it is not just ubuntu is easy to use anyway [11:18] lucent: don't get me wrong I'm a FF fan... but it just seems to spin my CPU when I'm not touching it [11:18] Ubuntu is not all that amazing, either, just to be honest [11:18] eracoon, very cool but explain to them that linux is "essentially " virus free and spyware free and ALL of the software is free [11:18] it sucks less than the alternatives that I have seen [11:18] if it breaks, I can fix it [11:19] I mean really fix it like change the code [11:19] O__o: try nvidia-settings first [11:19] icarus-c, how? [11:19] O__o: run nvidia-settings [11:19] the people I know who cling to windows installations have no desire to use their computer anyways [11:20] they just want to get through their work day without something going horribly wrong [11:20] i dont have that [11:20] why do I get a command not found message when doing this: sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.16.sh -i [11:20] O__o, in a terminal lspci | grep -i vga [11:20] zetheroo: no slash bang? [11:20] coz_, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GT] (rev a1) [11:20] zetheroo, dont use the ./ [11:21] coz_: tried that already [11:21] O__o, ok and did you install the nvidia driver? [11:21] coz_, yes [11:21] i have a question for kernel rt. I want use a clocksource=acpi_pm (now use TSC) for overclock my FSB. There is problem with this clocksource and rt patch? [11:21] lucent: slash bang? [11:21] O__o, open a terminal nvidia-settings [11:21] zetheroo: sudo su; then you want to do /bin/sh ./commandname [11:21] coz_, there is no nvidia-settings [11:22] hi, is there a reason why ubuntu has a 'rename' in /usr/bin that is a perl script while on another distro this is a elf-binairy (they act differently....) [11:22] zetheroo: do you have that in your $PWD ? [11:22] O__o, how did you install the nvidia driver? [11:22] which kind of sucks for scripts [11:22] zetheroo: and have you chmod +x ? [11:22] coz_, in administration | hardware drivers [11:22] zeroXten, or right click that .sh permissions and tick the execute box [11:22] what is an emacs editor? [11:22] zetheroo: I would add that running anything as root is probably setting a course for FAIL island [11:22] Weust`_: why does it suck for scripts? [11:22] lucent: ok that's working [11:22] Prune: http://www.google.com/search?q=emacs [11:23] O__o, and did you reboot the system after installing that driver? [11:23] jrib: for instance: rename 'foo' 'bar' * does not work in ubuntu [11:23] O__o, open system/administration/hardware drivers and see if it is activated [11:23] coz_, of course, i have it enable like a year ago [11:23] zetheroo: "slash bang" is a phrase, maybe it is ... programmer, or admin phrase [11:23] thanks icarus [11:23] lucent: yeah well I have done this about 3 times in the past and its safe ... but I still would like it to work without the sudo so part [11:23] zetheroo: normal user won't know what that means [11:23] O__o, then you should have nvidia-settings [11:23] Weust`_: right, because as you noticed they are different programs. You can usually find debian/ubuntu's rename as prename in other distros. Try mmv to get similar functionality [11:23] Weust`_: forget that rename and just mv [11:23] coz_, it is activated [11:23] Weust`_: the rename utility is nonstandard. i think there are two major ones (what you mentioned) don't use it if you need it to be portable === sivel_ is now known as sivel [11:24] O__o, then I dont understand...nvidia-settings should be installed along with that [11:24] Weust`_: mv fileA newname [11:24] O__o, which driver version did it install? [11:24] kelvin@orz:~$ nvidia-settings [11:24] The program 'nvidia-settings' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [11:24] sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [11:24] bash: nvidia-settings: command not found [11:24] O__o: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:24] i dont know how to check version number [11:24] O__o, then sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [11:24] zetheroo: when a file is set with the +x executable permission bit, then your shell will read the first bytes from it as you try to execute it [11:25] O__o, however that is odd it was not installed automatically along with the driver [11:25] jrib: it is a script on a server, but the rename that it has, i don't know from which package it comes [11:25] zetheroo, lucent and have the #!/usr/bin/perl at the first line (correct me if i'm wrong) [11:25] oops [11:25] zetheroo: if the first bytes are hash bang .... it uses this path to execute the file [11:25] i mean .. [11:25] Weust`_: check the source on that distro... [11:25] zetheroo: #!/bin/bash [11:25] the thing gonna interpret the script [11:25] coz_, i installed it now [11:25] coz_, whats next?

[11:29] kind of stupid the rename (perl version) does not support the old syntax [11:29] lucent: global what ? [11:29] Weust`_: no. you'd have use the shell (or sed, or whatever) to work with the text, and then mv.

Or use mmv which is similar [11:30] but i'll guess i'll loop trough filenames and sed them out [11:30] lucent: before you jump; in linux the program loader is part of the kernel and no they are not refering to the shell [11:30] erUSUL: unless I am mistaken, this ... oh [11:30] i'll man mmv [11:31] too late, I am in the ocean ;P [11:32] !usb [11:32] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [11:32] do you guys have Sync to VBlank on display device checked or not?

[13:07] i ahve to load another putty brb [13:07] I got some problem, can someone help me please? [13:07] RanDom33: have you started the cups daemon?.. [13:07] !ask | dA-kiNg [13:07] dA-kiNg: 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. :-) [13:07] RanDom33, what printer? [13:08] Halitech, brother mfc-495cw [13:08] RanDom33: and have you select a proper driver for your printer? [13:08] Hello everybody. I'm looking for a software to deploy unatended versions of debian, ubuntu and windows to a bunch of blades. Anyone is using 'something' to manage large racks of servers. Open source is requiered by our fundation policy. thanks [13:09] I got a problem, which that is, i install ubuntu in the pc and in that pc the internet connection is by wireless, and i have the cd to install but the ubuntu dont execute the cd, its gives some error. :\ [13:09] icarus-c, * Restarting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd [ OK ] ? so i am guessing it is running [13:09] icarus-c, i have selected the driver that was installed from the drop down list.. i downloaded one from the Brother website [13:10] icarus-c, and that is the one i have been selecting, i also tried generic... and also cups-pdf [13:10] dA-kiNg: don't miss the most important part, what is the exact error? [13:10] * raid0 alloz [13:10] RanDom33: what printer is it [13:10] icarus-c can you wait 2mn , ill check it ok? [13:10] i dont understand what it is revealiing. i probably need to just put in a new drive and install fresh i think. [13:10] RanDom33, I don't see a linux driver for that machine [13:10] then i can mess about with the other one and hopefully save some of the emails and stuff. [13:10] icarus-c, brother mfc-495cw... i used the guide on the brother website and it failed [13:11] marcriera: i don't understand totally, but maybe virtualization? [13:11] Halitech, there is one on the brother website [13:11] Halitech, http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/download_prn.html#MFC-495CW i used that.. but it didnt work [13:12] RanDom33, sorry, just found it, they have it buried ... http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/before.html .. did you follow the instructions they have listed? [13:12] it came back again [13:12] it says root is running diff [13:12] marcriera: i don't understand what is meant by "unattended version" [13:12] icarus-c: virtualization is not an option. We play with CUDA and GPU , with virtualization we loose lot's of MIPS and this makes a great difference [13:13] 3317 root 18 0 288m 209m 388 R 1.0 85.2 0:03.30 diff [13:13] 85.2 % memory [13:13] Halitech, yes.. i have tried all that.. and then some... about 12 hours or so of working on it [13:13] marcriera, try clonezilla [13:14] icarus-c the error is about [13:14] SETUP.exe.zip [13:14] icarus-c: by unatended I mean a kind of PXE deployment, something that I can prepare and then I use it as many times as I need. I know I can do some anaconda scripts for Redhat based distros , but we play with debian and ubuntu, so I don't know if there is something like redhat-network or redhat-satelite on debian based distros [13:14] RanDom33, you say you are trying to do it wirelessly, do you have the IP address of the printer? [13:14] Halitech, i will even go through and do the directions again, if you like [13:14] joaopinto: clonezilla. mmm I'll check it out. [13:14] it says that i havent the zip file or something, its opens with Archive manager :\ [13:14] Halitech, yes. its assigned via dhcp by my wireless router. 192.168.1.7 [13:14] what is beam? [13:15] dA-kiNg: i hate you [13:15] i'm getting a suexec error while installing mooshak, http://pastebin.ca/1629571 see this error, how to solve that error? [13:15] why? [13:15] i update my kernel to 2.6.28-15 in new kernel alt+f2 not work ehat is problem? [13:15] RanDom33, do you know if it has a web interface you can try to load in a web browser? [13:15] is there any way to use my fingerprint scanner for anything usefull on linux [13:15] Halitech, that i do not know about [13:15] i can try [13:16] babak: if you want to switch from X session to tty console, you need ctrl-alt-f[1..6] [13:16] let me start to rebuild [13:16] thanks [13:16] icarus-c why u hate me ? [13:16] RanDom33, try it and see [13:17] Halitech, no web interface [13:17] dA-kiNg: that *exe* pissed me off [13:17] wubi huh? [13:17] RanDom33, can you ping the printer? [13:17] Halitech, printer has an lcd screen on it.. so have to do everything through that [13:17] Halitech, yes, i can ping.. and nmap shows that it is the printer [13:18] RanDom33, ok, in cups, can it find the printer if you search for new printers? [13:18] does rc.local run after resume? [13:18] any help freinds? what is suexec error? [13:19] Halitech, i was going back through those directions again.. wanted you to see something.. i will pastebin.. one second [13:20] abhilashm86, looks like it doesnt know what m2 is and is saying to install as sudo [13:20] RanDom33, okay [13:20] Halitech, http://pastebin.com/d7ac6311f [13:20] icarus-c: also ctrl+alt+ f(1--6) not work in new kernel [13:20] Hailtech: so what should i do now? [13:20] Halitech, that was on step 4 of these instructions http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/instruction_prn1a.html [13:21] RanDom33, looks like the issue is right here "package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)" [13:21] Halitech, there was no 64 bit driver [13:22] Halitech: even if i do it as sudo ./install, the error is same.......... [13:22] Halitech, the printer shows up in cups [13:22] Halitech, it just does not work [13:22] RanDom33, trying to get a 32bit driver working on a 64bit OS is not going to work very well if at all [13:23] hello all, can anyone please help me with a white screen issue with compiz due to Xorg somehow reverting back to Vesa driver ? [13:23] hello. I followed this guide: http://tinyurl.com/c5p63g [13:23] Halitech, sigh.. so solution is run vnc server on my xp machine... and print from it? ;) [13:23] I did the step sudo tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/XXXX [13:23] but now when I try to do an e2fsck fsck says that doing an e2fsck on a mounted filesystem can cause severe damage. [13:23] But this is partition is mounted to /home so gparted doesn't allow me to unmount it. What should I do? [13:23] DexterLB: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:23] RanDom33, it might show up but if it can't use the 32bit driver in your 64bit OS, its not going to work [13:24] sorry about flooding :S [13:24] RanDom33, that or get a machine that has 64bit support [13:24] DexterLB: Usually, when dealing with system partitions, you need to boot from a LiveCD (which has its own virtual /) [13:24] have anyone tried karmic moblin remix? [13:24] can I do this now? [13:24] xand: Can you come to #compiz so we can help you with the white screen problem better? [13:24] or if I shutdown something bad will happen? [13:24] DexterLB: If you have the Ubuntu install disk, just insert it and reboot. Then run gparted. [13:24] ok [13:24] Hailtech: hey the error was in install script it was /usr/sbin!! i changed it to /usr/bin, all installed, good day:) [13:25] Halitech, well i just bought that printer.. so cant really get another.. i could run ubuntu in a 32 bit vm and print right? === zand_ is now known as xand [13:25] oh, god, i don't know how to change the default size of gnome-terminal [13:25] RanDom33, you might be able to take it back, just tell them it doesn't work with your system ... not sure how the vm would work [13:26] Halitech, well i do appreciate it ;) [13:26] i resized it close and open again, it return [13:26] RanDom33, at least now you know why its not working :) [13:27] Halitech, haha.. well i do appreciate it [13:27] does ANYONE know how to run a command after resuming?! it cant be that hard....ive been trying to figure it out for 3 days now [13:27] my alt+f2 key not work how solve problem? [13:27] does ubuntu64 require all the software to be in 64bit? or can it run 32bit processes as well? [13:27] yanger: 32-bit should be ok [13:27] is this the right place to ask about karmic moblin? [13:27] depending on what it is [13:28] xand shoutcast? [13:28] babak, what kind of keyboard? [13:28] nVidia graphic card screen flickers for every few seconds why ?

Have a bad keyboard here. [13:49] c10ud8, might not be the best but you could probably look into jinzora, xbmc, geexbox (perhaps), or actually.. you can stream with VLC [13:49] VLC has a web inteface too.. [13:49] oh k so i just use the ps3 web browser? [13:50] Yeah, pretty much [13:50] for xbmc web ui [13:50] sound good? [13:50] I have a general question. I use Evolution mail. I think its pretty ok, I realize it may not be the best. It serves all my needs except one. I use Evolution on my laptop as well as my desktop, How can I keep my Contacts that I add albeit from the laptop/desktop sync'd? If I add new contacts to my laptop they are not added to the Desktop. :( ideas? [13:50] Ive never used xbmc but its suppose to be really good, it was made for xbox, now used on everything.. [13:50] oh yeah i used to have it on my modded original xbox its awesome [13:50] however, i dont know if xbmc has a web interface [13:51] its come a long way since i used it [13:51] Yeah if your familiar with it its probably the best way to go [13:51] yeah, it basically rivals windows media server [13:51] having a heck of a time finding a suitable editor. nano is installed but won't run for some reason. other two aren't quite to my taste. is emacs suitable for non-programmers to use? [13:51] I want something that's like BBedit is over on the mac [13:51] And its very close to mythbox capabilities now a days [13:51] does ANYONE know how to run a command after resuming? [13:51] Prune, what about pico? [13:52] I think thats pretty basic too [13:52] tj83, I keep all my contacts on a server, in a text file, so I can access from any of my computers. [13:52] pico, I'll check [13:52] Prune, it might already be installed by default too [13:52] Prune, hmm... so you ssh to get email addresses? seems like hassle. what if you couldnt? [13:53] mattgyver, doesn't look like pico's available, even in adaptic manager. I'll look to download. Hope you can help me install. [13:53] what is a good http proxy for ubuntu [13:54] How could I get a single file from a package without installing the entire package? [13:54] I'm setting up an LTSP server, and I'd like to know if it is possible for all users to have the same username, and still be able to run the same program on every machine. Firefox sees it is being run, and won't open. (so I don't literally have 1000+ accounts on a single machine) [13:54] c10ud8: I use privoxy, but squid is good too [13:55] tj83, here on ubuntu, I open my server in the morning, then its a window on my home page.... double click on whichever address database I want and it opens. then I get the address. if adding, I just save directly up to server. ask if question [13:56] Bob_Dole, can you limit the bandwidth for different logins [13:56] c10ud8: that isn't the problem [13:56] c10ud8: oh, you're responding to my answr xD [13:56] yeah.. lol the 2nd one [13:57] c10ud8: I don't use advanced features. :/ [13:57] whats a good irc client to use, preferably not a terminal one? [13:57] hexecute: xChat. [13:57] hexecute, xchat is nice for me [13:57] xchat is okay [13:57] though screen + irssi is bliss [13:58] hexecute: Xchat-gnome is simple [13:58] thanks, I just installed irssi, but Im abit lost :) [13:58] takes some getting used to [13:58] i use xchat [13:58] Irssi is only useful with screen [13:58] Well mot only, but very useful with screen [13:59] What is this "open a Terminal..."? [13:59] Open a terminal ? [13:59] dA-kiNg: Click it and see. === serpp is now known as serp [14:00] dA-kiNg, a terminal is a black thing that executes commands [14:00] It opens a text console in the current folder [14:00] Im getting a problem with my wireless card [14:00] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-79914.html [14:00] And here says to open a terminal [14:00] its like Ms-dos right ? [14:00] yeah sort of [14:00] is there a significant difference between 9.10 beta and the production release *once* the production release is final... IOW, if I've installed 9.10 beta is there any reason I would need to wipe it and re-install when 9.10 final is out or is making sure I've updated any changed packages sufficient? [14:00] in that it doesn't have graphics, yes, it's like MS-DOS, dA-kiNg, but it is much more powerful. [14:01] dA-kiNg: It's a command line - a little like Windows' "Command Prompt", or MS-DOS command.com, but very different. [14:01] click applications>accessories>terminal [14:01] and u will see [14:01] or press ALT+F2 and type xterm :) [14:01] Ok, coz im have problems with my wireless card, cant install it. ( http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-79914.html ) [14:01] I'm on a command line only system right now. :/ [14:01] kLiNiKaL: gnome-terminal is prettier. (This is #ubuntu, remember) [14:01] true lol [14:02] i use guake terminal its awesome [14:02] press f12 and boom it flips down from the top semi transparent [14:02] c10ud8: F12? Why not ~? [14:02] yeah i use that also [14:02] personally i use OpenBox, so i dont have Gnome-Terminal :) [14:03] grawity apt-get install guake [14:04] kLiNiKaL, what is openbox? [14:04] c10ud8: thanks, but 1) I already tried guake, tilda, and yakuake; didn't like them. 2) I have no apt-get. 3) Quake used the ~` key, that's why I was wondering. [14:05] oh.. hm well i guess you could change the trigger key [14:05] grawity: sorry but why not have apt-get? [14:05] c10ud8: It's your own preference which key to use. I was just wondering. [14:05] openbox is not really for the faint hearted or linux newcomer c10ud8 [14:05] brian_endpoint: when 9.10 final is out making sure you've updated any changed packages is sufficient [14:05] kelohippi: Because I'm not using Ubuntu... [14:05] So, re-asking about the LTSP thing, tell me if I'm doing it a bit too early. I'm at a high school, setting up an LTSP server. I want every student to use 1 account, "student" but when I attempted that, and tried to open firefox on multiple clients, firefox complained it was already running, and wouldn't open on the second client. There's ~1000 students at this high school, I don't want to have to give them all accounts. [14:05] erUSUL: thanks! [14:05] kLiNiKaL, sweet ill check it out [14:05] kelohippi: I'm just helping here sometimes. [14:06] !final [14:06] If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Karmic.

[14:13] Glowball, Hi.. [14:13] Would 11 GiB be large enough as root directory to have both GNOME and KDE installed? [14:14] ... [14:14] Halitech, installed the 32 bit libraries [14:14] RanDom33, the ia32-libs? [14:14] Glowball, for the base system that may be enough, but a larger parttion will be nice if you want to use diff. software... [14:15] Halitech, yes i do believe that is what it was.. i can check though [14:15] Halitech, yes that is the correct ones [14:15] Glowball: yes, doing a dist-upgarde later on may be a bit tight. [14:15] RanDom33, ok, I think thats the name, glad it worked for you, I'll have to keep that tidbit locked away in case it comes up again [14:15] I could add 2GiB more if I replace my swap partition though.. [14:16] ... [14:16] Glowball, How much RAM do you have? [14:16] Halitech, not a problem, just wanted to update ya ... i appreciate your help ;) [14:16] Glowball: 11GB should be fine. just monitor your usage. [14:16] 4GiB, so actually, I rarely use my swap [14:16] I won't be using KDE very intensively anyway, so I won't have a lot K-apps installed [14:16] Does there have any chinese? [14:16] my webcam is no longer working in Jaunty [14:17] RanDom33, welcome and thanks for letting me know [14:17] 4GB* and 2GB* btw, but that doesn't matter *that* much [14:17] how fast is 7z decompression, anyone know? [14:17] was working fine and then I did an update and now its useless === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak [14:18] Glowball, with 4 GB ram you need not have the Swap partition at all, but if you're using the hibernate feature that may be required... [14:18] does Ubuntu One work on other distributions of linux? [14:18] Glowball, that does mind... What if 1GB?? [14:18] About that: my laptop doesn't hibernate when there are applications open.. [14:18] :) [14:18] Saji: I know it does, but not 'that much' ;) [14:19] Glowball, I think for hibernation we require a swap parttion as large as the RAM size or more....:) [14:19] Ah === administrator is now known as kiaas2 [14:19] So that's why [14:19] Glowball: swap is really important if you plan on suspending your box.l [14:19] Thanks, I'll make it 4GB then :) [14:19] Hey all [14:19] Going to re-install on 9.10 anyway [14:19] Glowball, sure try it... [14:20] Glowball, That's better than updating.. I screwed up my system for some time by updating.. [14:20] saji: hibernation uses the harddrive, suspend uses RAM. [14:20] I am opening my terminal and I hit up but it just adds in this: ^[[A [14:20] anyway to fix that? [14:20] I'm looking at PowerFolder, Ubuntu One and SpiderOak as easy ways to keep my netbook and desktop documents always synced [14:20] Saji: it's mostly because I want to reconfigure my disk usage and because it's a safer way to upgrade to ext4 [14:20] bastidrazor, sure. that's exactly what i pointed out...:) [14:21] Glowball, 9.04 works well with ext4.. [14:21] I know, just haven't upated yet [14:21] updated* [14:22] Glowball, it's better to backup and reformat the FS [14:22] And with 9.10 coming, I could just do it on reinstall [14:22] Glowball, I'm saying that it is better to reinstall than update.. [14:22] Joaopinto: I'm planning to do that ;) [14:22] Glowball, Atleast till the official release my opinion is not to update, but reinstall... [14:22] Saji: I know, but it's more waste of time [14:23] Glowball, surely.. I had updated, and it took more time for me to fix things up..... [14:23] Saji: I never use beta OS's, except in a VM [14:23] Sonja: dropbox ? [14:23] Glowball, Tht's the best decision..

[14:26] Btw, in case you were interested: those 'great boot speeds' of Windows 7 appear to be bullshit: it's faster at showing the desktop, but I've read an article saying it takes even longer than Vista to be ready for action.

[14:27] Glowball, that's great news...;) Windozz is alwys bullshit.. [14:27] can anyone help me with my above issue? [14:27] How did 9.10 progress btw? [14:27] emilys: did you do the 2nd part of that page? you have to copy a few things and make a symbolic link for the binary to run [14:28] $ sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-dev rubygems ruby-gnome2 libxml-ruby libxml2 libxml2-dev libopenssl-ruby [14:28] bash: $: command not found [14:28] emilys, simply command not found.. or a specific command is told? [14:28] emilys, ok.. [14:28] emilys: no $ [14:28] and what should i do to make it works? [14:28] does 64bit ubuntu still have problems with Flash and things like that? [14:28] Sonja: no [14:29] i remember a year ago i was told to install 32 bit on my 64 bit computer [14:29] Sonja: (not for a long time actually) [14:29] Glowball, As good as 9.04 with ext4... Much much faster than Vista.... Less than 20 secs... [14:29] thanks jrib! so not since which version of ubuntu? [14:29] Sonja: yes, that's the default setup still. Though adobe has released a beta 64bit version of the plug-in as well [14:29] Sonja: years [14:29] anyone know the easiest way to dual boot windows7 and ubuntu (9.10) on one 160gb hard-drive (fresh install)? should i use the win7 shrink tool or gparted?

I want to write init.d scripts for two services, where the second service depends on the first one. is there a how-to around for telling the system this dependency? so if I restart the first service, the second service is automatically restarted, too? [14:40] SirStan2: would be nice if there was ... [14:41] You might want to learn how to do 'upstart' scripts for them kottlett - the init.d stuff is getting phased out.

[14:41] kottlett: updstart has the dependency stuff you are looking for.

[14:43] leave [14:43] kottlett: one of the main features of it was 'depenecndy' type checking for services [14:43] anyone? [14:43] does "cheese" have a lite/dark setting? [14:43] kottlett: 9.04 i think uses it for a few services [14:44] Dr_Willis: thx, how has it been done before?

It's not running at all... The script that's in there works just fine. [15:17] happysmack, are you using fwcutter proprietary drivers or something else? [15:17] and i found if not worried about packet injection the wl driver provides more stable usage and more sensitive to connections [15:17] grawity: so your agreeing with me [15:17] i usually use b43 patched for injection [15:18] happysmack, where do I find those? [15:18] which ones [15:18] happysmack, wl drivers and/or one patched for P injection [15:18] IdleOne: Problem is that some companys do not like the lessened usably that comes with some security issues.

[15:20] A while ago I changed an option that made windows that the cursor is not over to turn opaque. Where do I find that option to change it back? [15:20] pcassiano: It is green on my end [15:20] pcassiano: You cannot. IRC doesn't have "nickname colors", it's just your IRC client that shows them. And all clients I know, assign colors randomly. [15:20] sirGuest: try opening System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings. there should be a couple of Plugins that allow the opaque effect. For example the ADD Helper from the Accessibility Plugins. [15:20] Ubuntu 9.04 . Odd thing is that it happened on 2 different machines - update the kernal & sound couse out. [15:21] t0s: There are a few ways. One would be to install a screenshotter tool that can be a little more automated than the one from GNOME... for example, install 'scrot', then run 'scrot -d 5' and it will give you a 5 second delay before doing the actual screenshot. [15:21] sirGuest: the Opacify plugin could also be responsible for this [15:21] Thanks @grawity [15:21] arabus: thanks! I will try that [15:22] thanks grawity [15:22] pcassiano: You might want to browse the Options window - maybe you'll find something there.

Install this: [15:25] !ccsm | sirGuest [15:25] sirGuest: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'.

Thanks [16:49] stamina: all features example write or erase all kind of dvd and can make mp3 disk or video disk or .... [16:50] duffydack: you should have gone with dynamically expanding which is the default for virtual hard disk, then you can basically put nearly whatever size is available, and the vm can expand to that size as long as you have enough psyical hard disk space. [16:50] addisonj: DL and install them individually? [16:50] duffydack: when you set up the vm you should have done what I just said [16:50] BigMao: do you keep backups of your data? [16:50] resno, I back up my data, but I don't manually backup the .deb packages [16:50] duffydack: so if you had done like 10GB for Ubuntu let's say, the actsaul virtual hard disk by default will have only taken up about 1GB of psyical hard disk space [16:50] addisonj: the list of packages is here ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/ubuntu-fixed-util-linux/ [16:51] For some reason, the .deb packate isn't present on the root filesystem [16:51] I think I know the version number ... but I can't find the .deb file on the internet [16:51] Nobody's answering me over in -server [16:51] [HowTo] Fix Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04) Intel Graphics Problem and pules audio problem when i install graphic drivers??

[16:52] LordBurrito, now THAT would be a question for #ubuntu-server [16:53] duffydack: What's your host by the way?

[16:54] arch command is right?

[18:05] ActionParsnip ah yes boot from usb might be what i want to do [18:05] ok got it, thanks [18:05] Sonja: sure, or a usb stick [18:05] !find abs [18:05] Found: abuse-frabs, libclass-dbi-abstractsearch-perl, libclass-dbi-plugin-abstractcount-perl, libdbix-abstract-perl, libemail-abstract-perl (and 3 others) [18:05] iceroot: oop - it reported: samba is broken or not fully installed [18:05] <^mNotIntelligent> trism, i think that is okey...but there seems to be some problem with mpg123, its saying " [readers.c:893] error: Cannot file From: No such file or directory" ...lemme google that [18:05] iceroot: I tried "apt-get purge samba; apt-get install samba" [18:05] i would just store the .iso on the usb as a file? [18:05] or there's a special way to make a bootable usb from an .iso ? [18:05] anyone know how to remotely disable a local keyboard and mouse? [18:06] trism: urrg. Thanks ... It seems that the problem is that gtkpod requires the %s to be on its own or it won't substitute it [18:06] BlueSherpa: hm [18:06] BlueSherpa: that was my next idea... [18:06] mgolisch: i am issuing this command "gnome-terminal -e --working-directory "/CVS_All/"" [18:06] Sonja: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-904-persistent-install-windows/ [18:06] resno: use it without the -e unless you realy execute some command [18:06] iceroot: I tried going into synaptics and it ended up with the same result [18:07] <^mNotIntelligent> trism, the logic is okey...you know why...when i tried the same command for some different song..which is actually not available..it didnot give error..just went silent..that means commnad is okey...somethign is wrong with mpg123 [18:07] hi. i came looking for help to interface a garmin usb device to gpsbabel [18:07] Hey guys, can anyone tell me how can I make my KODAK ESP-3 Printer work? :( [18:07] im having troubles. the device is not detected by gpsbabel. any clue [18:07] dbugger: run: lsusb you will get an 8 character hex code identifying the device, wesearch that [18:07] how is wubi different from something like colinux? [18:07] DOH! rhythmbox-client --play-uri can work without the "=" and then gtkpod will parse out the %s and ... it works!!! [18:08] thanks for the link ActionParsnip [18:08] mgolisch: thanks! thats got me going the right direction. [18:08] Bus 001 Device 007: ID 040a:4031 Kodak Co. [18:08] ? [18:08] ^mNotIntelligent: can you play any of the songs you're locating by manually typing mpg123 path_to_file? because the command seems to work fine for me, even with tracks with spaces in their names [18:09] Sonja: colinux appears to run just the apps in the same desktop as the host OS, wubi allows you to effectively dual boot [18:09] iceroot: is there a way to use dpkg to purge / install samba? [18:09] mbeierl: great, I gotta try that with gpodder [18:09] iceroot: maybe it'll work better than apt-get [18:09] dbugger: ok so the ID is 040a:4031 [18:09] does anyone know how to automatically execute a given command or script after resuming? [18:09] what should i do? anybody have any clue? [18:10] ah, so colinux might be more seamless [18:10] if i wanted to use both OSes [18:10] trism: was delightfully surprised that there was an alternate. So %s in gtkpod translates to the filename, but it won't if the %s is attached to ANYTHING else (ie: play file:%s) [18:10] !startup [18:10] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [18:10] ActionParsnip, so what now? [18:11] dbugger: i websearched the code and its not coming up, see what you can find [18:11] guys check this out http://www.cooliris.com/product/ [18:12] j #fluxbox [18:12] ubuntu should have this [18:12] ActionParsnip, are you telling me it's not possible to use this printer in Ubuntu? [18:12] Sonja: well yes as the wubi will give you 2 options, windows or ubuntu and you will use which you want [18:12] dbugger: from my quick websearch its not looking great [18:12] dbugger: why dont you have a try too [18:12] need help on using a garmin gps device in ubuntu [18:13] ActionParsnip, Im not sure what to do with those hex numbers :S [18:13] php-pdo in jaunty? [18:13] dbugger: put them in a swebsearch like you do with any other websearch [18:13] dbugger: then start adding extra words to try refine the search [18:14] does anyone know how to automatically execute a given command or script after resuming? [18:14] hsarci: where are you running the command from? [18:14] hsarci: like a bash command? [18:14] php-pdo in jaunty? [18:15] seems like there's no driver for this one :( [18:15] Awesome, I have to go back to windows to print :p [18:15] dbugger: hardly suprised, kodak suck [18:15] hsarci: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=907151 [18:15] does anyone have any idea on using a garmin usb gps device on ubuntu jaunty [18:15] ? [18:15] hsarci: Resuming from _what_? [18:16] hello all. I just downloaded ktorrent to seed my torrents and I added the ones I already had ... and now ktorrent is saying "Invalid data from tracker". How do I fix this? [18:16] ActionParsnip, I had hope in the ubuntu geek comunity to have found a solution :) [18:17] somebody help me! please [18:17] rictec: have you any experience with opening up for ips to connect to the mysql server by, via phpmyadmin? I'm hosted by surftown, and I'm afraid phpmyadmin is my only chance of changing anything with the database, but i cant find where to change allowed ips to connect [18:18] dbugger: keep your ear to the ground. I doubt kodak will budge on anything. [18:18] w0ls0n, "Invalid data from tracker" is typically a communication problem between you and the tracker host. try the same torrent file in Transmission or Vuze and see if it works - don't think it's a problem with continuing your already downloaded stuff. good luck. [18:18] sjd, repeating every few seconds will not help you get an answer [18:19] ActionParsnip, that means not deleting my windows partition :D [18:19] !ask | sjd [18:19] sjd: 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. :-) [18:19] oh he did ask [18:19] dbugger: yep, or you can buy a better printer [18:19] The "ctrl+alt+backspace" combination, is it disabled by default on jaunty? [18:19] iceroot: figured it out [18:20] !dontzap | takeon [18:20] takeon: 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. [18:20] ActionParsnip, Maybe after I assault some bank :D [18:20] Take0n, alt+printscreen+k [18:20] iceroot: samba dependencies were in place - I had to remove them before purge completely cleaned the system and made way for apt-get install samba [18:20] my question is if it IS disabled or not [18:20] by default [18:20] Take0n: Yes, its disabled. [18:20] yes the default is disabled but it can be re-enabled [18:20] Take0n, it's been changed [18:21] Well, I don't remember installing anything or enabling it.. but it still works :+ [18:21] that's why I'm asking [18:22] thnx [18:22] hey guys, i was gonna install java wtk , it asked me the path for the java interpreter, i have openjdk6 installed, i gave the path as /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin , but it gives me a error that it is not a suitable java interpreter , should i install anyother interpreters?

Wipe automates that for you [18:45] i cant access swat it says unable to connect [18:45] axisys: the ultimate boot cd has a tool that flips the bits 7 times and is suitable for the MoD [18:46] axisys: depends if you wear a tinfoil hat or not [18:46] Synaptic does not generate a package script of all my files... the file only has #!/bin/sh in it? [18:46] Koterpillar_: i have a 250GB 5400 rpm ide laptop disk.. so dd might take very long [18:46] ActionParsnip: yep :) [18:46] that disk is connected w/ a usb-to-ide cable [18:46] axisys, you mean, _any_ operation with bytes [18:46] you simply cannot make it faster by using a magical program [18:47] any experts on ramdisks here ? [18:47] axisys you could do a full disk encryption on it, that would be an effective wipe [18:47] fission6: open a teminal and do what he said and try sox --without-magic [18:47] axisys: all drives are IDE, it shouldnt matter as long asthe kernel can see the disk or partition [18:47] KaiForce: i want to give it another user to use it.. [18:47] <^mNotIntelligent> hello friends, I'm using this command to see all the active internet connections: netstat -anpe --inet ..but it shows the ip addrs. is there any way to get the same result but the web address instead of raw ip address === Dad is now known as Guest56090 [18:47] hi - will the soundsystem changes that sound will be possible simultaneously from parallel applications?

[18:48] KaiForce: i do want to remove the partitions .. [18:48] how about /dev/random? [18:48] sudo cat /dev/random >/dev/sdb (or whatever the disk is) [18:48] KaiForce, urandom, otherwise you'll have to generate randomness yourself all the time, or the writing will stop [18:49] Koterpillar_ - did not know that, thank you. [18:49] ramdisk? anybody? [18:49] encrypting the disk won't prevent him from using it axisys [18:49] hwilde: i'l take one [18:49] <^mNotIntelligent> hwilde, yes abslutely ..thanks guys ... [18:50] KaiForce: it wont? [18:50] <^mNotIntelligent> Koterpillar_, thanks dude [18:50] ^mNotIntelligent, type man netstat to read the manual [18:50] no, if you are destroying the partition table, he'll need to repartition anyway [18:50] hey.. how do i copy hidden files? if i use . it counts as any character and not really a . [18:50] anyone know how to fix this samba error? tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME [18:50] helpme, -a [18:50] hwilde: thanks [18:51] I try smbclient //server/share -U testuser and I get the error tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME [18:51] so encrypt and the destroy the partition ? [18:51] supported .... lu mat mat4 mat5 maud ni ... [18:51] KaiForce: ^ [18:51] <^mNotIntelligent> hwilde, yep...tx [18:51] encrypt the entire disk. forget the partition table, when you do a full disk encryption it will be gone anyway. Make sure you unmount them first though [18:52] axisys, KaiForce, all this encryption is basically overwriting the disk. /dev/zero is the fastest and easiest way. [18:52] who is panic cleaning a disk? [18:52] Koterpillar_ is correct, just depends on your level of paranoia [18:52] One thing I have noticed... and this is true for both hulu.com and pandora.com... for some reason any streamed media I play always cuts off after a few minutes. I did not have this issue with opensuse or windows. [18:52] Koterpillar_: well looks like if=/dev/random is what I will do.. thanks for all the feedbacks [18:52] rictec: i just got lame, and it works? [18:52] crohakon, did you check the power management === Koterpillar_ is now known as Koterpillar [18:53] /dev/urandom axisys [18:53] hwilde: cp -ar didnt copy hidden files :( [18:53] hello all. sound is working on my ubuntu 9.04 but it's too quiet. how can itroubelshoot this? [18:53] KaiForce: thats what i meant.. doh! [18:53] helpme, cp -a copies hidden files. you have to use ls -a to see them [18:53] No, it is not the screen turning off or the system going into suspend. The stream just stops. I have it opened in the back ground while I am doing other stuff. [18:53] fission6:i dont use sox you have to try it [18:53] helpme: are you really having problems copying them?, in bash ? matches a single character, not . [18:54] what do you use [18:54] helpme: I can copy them just fine with cp .hidden_file_name new_file_name [18:54] crohakon, I have streams running all day and they never stop... sounds like it's timing out or going to sleep [18:54] <^mNotIntelligent> hwilde, but its taking way too long to get the exact names...i guess its doing dns mapping for each raw ip and thats why its taking too long... [18:54] ^mNotIntelligent, that's correct [18:54] hwilde; pandora got to the point that it would cut the stream every like 1 minute and I would have to refresh. I finally gave in and just hooked up my xHD and played mp3s lol [18:55] ^mNotIntelligent, that's why -n is an option :) [18:55] Any ideas on why I would be having this problem? Same happens when watching shows on hulu. [18:55] crohakon, do you have all the updates? [18:55] I vote searching google for video conversion to be the worse, next to the word warez.. so much bad and crapware results [18:55] As far as I know [18:55] crohakon, is your network administrator killing your connection [18:55] crohakon: videos on hulu play just fine for me as long as I let them buffer a bit first [18:55] <^mNotIntelligent> hwilde, rightly said... [18:55] was wondering if anyone had an idea on how to install gta4 on ubuntu, googled it for a while but no luck in finding anything... maybe some of u could post me a link? or give me some clues? thx [18:56] !appdb | IpSe_DiXiT [18:56] IpSe_DiXiT: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [18:56] ^mNotIntelligent, if you just want to lookup one ip type host [18:56] I highly doubt it considering I am at home and using charter and I never had the problem with vista or opensuse. [18:56] is there a open source way to make DVD's from divx/xvid? I used to use ConvertToX for windows [18:56] IpSe_DiXiT what is gta4? [18:56] crohakon, sry I don't know anything further other than you should be able to stream fine, that's not expected behavior [18:56] erUSUL: already read on the web that wine's kinda incompatible with it and maybe cedega will work instead, but i need a step-by-step guide [18:56] Is there anyway to configure Pidgin to use SOCKS5 Proxy? [18:56] rictec: grand theft auto 4 [18:57] im finding this rather odd - UNR only picks up one SD card and only ONE slot...any ideas? === dream_ is now known as Dream-Ubu [18:57] IpSe_DiXiT its a game lol ok [18:57] crohakon: in terminal, are there any errors when you "ip -s link show" [18:57] yep [18:57] Hello! [18:57] <^mNotIntelligent> hwilde, okey..thanks ...but you know..even without that n flag for some ips its not able to get the exact names and they are left as such [18:57] ip -s? Go into terminal and type "ip -s"? [18:57] cpjr72: qdvdauthor; devede ? [18:57] type ip -s link show [18:58] erUSUL, ill check em out, thanks [18:58] Koterpillar: so I should dd multiple times ? [18:58] Forgive me, I am a novice to linux. Trying to decide if it is worth swtiching away from vista. [18:58] IpSe_DiXiT: ask in a cedega specific forum/channel [18:58] <^mNotIntelligent> hwilde, but using the command you mentioned I'm able to get the domain names in a jiffy [18:58] oh this was a longshot anyway, forget it [18:58] axisys, as many as you like [18:58] personally, i'd find one pass enough [18:58] http://www.kdenlive.org/ [18:59] Do you know what xubuntu is? [18:59] KaiForce; How do I know if there is an error? I do not understand a thing that passed back at me. [18:59] <^mNotIntelligent> junruh, xfce+ubuntu = xubuntu [18:59] Junruh: xUbuntu is XFCE not debain :), thats asmuch as i know [18:59] KaiForce; Wait, nevermind, all of the error columns report 0 errors [18:59] ah, okay... [18:59] in the "errors" column, are there any non-zero values [18:59] cpjr72: http://www.kdenlive.org/ [18:59] Dream-Ubu: Ubuntu, and all Ubuntu versions, are Debian-based.

[19:00] !debian > Dream-Ubu [19:00] Dream-Ubu, please see my private message [19:00] thanks, bye. I have to feed my cat. [19:00] Also, a big disappointment, netflix does not work with linux. [19:00] (-: [19:01] <^mNotIntelligent> !xfce | junruh [19:01] junruh: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[19:01] crohakon: it's a website isn't it? [19:01] crohakon: videos on it or something? [19:01] <^mNotIntelligent> BullHornX, i've never face such probs [19:01] almost right - ish...within reason [19:01] !debian >KaiForce [19:01] KaiForce, please see my private message [19:02] <[003aLinux]> info [003aLinux] [19:02] ^mNotIntelligent, i just got ubuntu a few days ago and its the first RAR archives that im working with. this is irritatingly slower than on windows! [19:02] crohakon: google mythflix might be it [19:02] ive tried both the archive manager and the terinal unrar app [19:02] sebsebseb; Netflix is a internet dvd rental site, but you can also stream movies instead of having them sent to your house. It has a really nice selection for 8.99 a month. And considering I do not have cable TV and will not pay 50+ for it... netflix comes in handy. [19:03] crohakon: yes I think I heard about them no longer providing Linux support or something like that [19:03] i will be back ...later [19:03] hi, should Swap be mounted on specific directory? [19:03] mgolisch: yo [19:03] creek23: no [19:03] creek23: sewap is not mounted [19:03] BullHornX: well the archive manager just uses the terminal unrar so it isn't surprising they are the same [19:03] mgolisch: basically NoEDID true didnt work [19:04] creek23: in fstab in the mount point colummn you put "none" [19:04] Can you tell me something about supertuxkart? [19:04] Hi, can I make grub try and boot whatever cd is in the drive? like a (cd0,0) or something? [19:04] mgolisch: but i tried other options and now the monitor will only display 640x480 properly... [19:04] mgolisch: so. [19:04] sebsebseb; It is because they use silverlight 2 by MS [19:04] mgolisch: i need to somehow edit the edid.bin and insert it into xorg.conf [19:04] Bodsda: I think it's (cd0) actually... [19:04] erUSUL: im currently logged at Live Session [19:04] <^mNotIntelligent> BullHornX, to be frank...i've been using RARs for quite a long time ...and never faced such problems...what exactly that contains, btw? that should not be an issue though [19:04] sebsebseb; Only Win and Mac support [19:04] installing Ubuntu [19:04] crohakon: there's Moonlight for Linux for Silverlight rubbish [19:04] grawity: sweet, but what about the kernel line? [19:04] its asking me where to mount the SWAP [19:05] sebsebseb; Yes, but moonlight is a port of silverlight 1, not silverlight 2 [19:05] mgolisch: but when i dump the edid with nvidia-settings and try to parse the file for monitor resoloution info it doesnt output it [19:05] and there's, actually, Silverlight for linux [19:05] Koterpillar: is there? [19:05] ^mNotIntelligent, its a series of 15mb RAR files with a .AVI video in it [19:05] netbook remix - AA1 cardslot know issues? [19:05] a tv show episode [19:05] c4pt: Please read my message. [19:05] its ~100mb per ~1.5minutes slow [19:05] creek23: if you want to activate swap just do « sudo swapon /dev/whatever » [19:05] <^mNotIntelligent> BullHornX, and how slow is that compared to windows ? [19:05] sebsebseb, yes, you go to silverlight site and see [19:05] junruh: supertuxart? [19:05] thats at least x5 slower :/ [19:05] Koterpillar: you sure it's not just Moonlight? [19:05] <^mNotIntelligent> BullHornX, ooh...thats taking too long... [19:05] * mneptok groans [19:06] BullHornX: that seems really slow, I just did a 600MB multipart rar yesterday and it took maybe 10 seconds [19:06] I can't install this game! [19:06] checking [19:06] see! what am i doing wrong? [19:06] why are people so stupid? a .avi file in a compressed archive format. absoutely brain-dead. [19:06] i have a fresh copy of ubuntu, 2 days old [19:06] sebsebseb, sorry, it is indeed Moonlight [19:06] its compressed in RAR into pieces, so incase one piece of corrupted, you dont need to redownload the entire thing [19:06] just one 15mb part [19:06] <^mNotIntelligent> !details | junruh [19:06] junruh: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [19:07] mneptok: A very good question for which there is no answer. [19:07] crohakon: Maybe Silverlight works in Wine [19:07] BullHornX: and i'm guessing it's a torrent? [19:07] it was a torrent, yesw [19:07] mgolisch: you still around? [19:07] great...skype 2.1 beta requires pulse audio...that kills it for me [19:07] c4pt: http://www.edwiget.name/content/view/144/26/ [19:07] BullHornX: torrents do checksums. if a file fails a checksum, the torrent client downloads ONLY THAT FAILED PIECE. [19:07] <^mNotIntelligent> BullHornX, mneptok : torrents...yeh they do such things... [19:07] c4pt: that explains basicaly how you edit the edid.bin [19:07] Karmic is just 11 days away, right? [19:07] sebsebseb, then you need a browser in wine [19:08] erUSUL: when I set _blank_ to mount point at ubuntu installation's SWAP, its asking me to fill it up... should i place /tmp or something? [19:08] Strife89: 29th October is the release [19:08] mgolisch: thanx ill look into it... [19:08] <^mNotIntelligent> Strife89, right [19:08] Koterpillar: yep you can do that as well [19:08] sebsebseb, ^mNotIntelligent: :) [19:08] sebsebseb, i mean you have to. it's a plugin [19:08] ^mNotIntelligent: Interesting nick. :) [19:08] Strife89: what? [19:08] <^mNotIntelligent> Strife89, :-) === Dad is now known as Guest12732 [19:09] sebsebseb: Just a smile. :) I'm excited about this release. [19:09] thats not the point of the problem though.. the point ^mNotIntelligent and mneptok is that ubuntu unrars real slow and i cant find a reason nor solution [19:09] Koterpillar: or Windows virtual machine if you want, with enough RAM [19:09] BullHornX: using free or non-free unrar? [19:09] Hi [19:09] How do I turn off uh... 3D effects in Ubuntu 9.04? [19:09] <^mNotIntelligent> BullHornX, it might be a bit slow..but not they way you mentioned x5...thats horrible [19:09] Easter egg "apt-get moo" :) [19:10] I guess that's waht compiz does/is [19:10] maco ive tried non-free unrar i think [19:10] kakazza, system - settings - appearance [19:10] ^mNotIntelligent, is swear it is that slow :| [19:10] <^mNotIntelligent> BullHornX, i dont know what exactly is causing the problem in your case [19:10] The only thing I'm worried about is that it'll probably be FAR better to wipe the partition and do a clean install. Is this recommended or not? [19:10] Strife89: I am not exited about it, but I have been testing it since alpha 4, the next one though 10.04 is the next Long Term Support, so that should be a prettygood/interesting release [19:11] <^mNotIntelligent> BullHornX, something else is wrong I guess.... [19:11] BullHornX, there's lots of threads online about rar being slow [19:11] Hi ! when I try to wake my laptop from sleep it just crashes, I knw its some buggy driver. but how can I find out ? [19:11] hey everybody [19:11] <^mNotIntelligent> Strife89, sebsebseb: I'm eagerly waiting for 10.04 , thats LTS one... [19:11] Awesome!

[19:35] indian_munnda: yea, but im not at the data center right now [19:35] zaoul: i m in some company or wat [19:35] brb [19:35] SnakDoc: Nothing in particular. It's just that the process takes twice as long in Karmic as in Jaunty. [19:35] so basically the window manager is what counts? [19:35] maco, no it rebooted fine, but when it came back online i was at a screen with nothing but a terminal in the top left corner [19:35] I'm getting this apache error for my vhost: "Permission denied: /var/www/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable " -- Why is it looking for .htaccess in /var/www? I don't even need one there... [19:35] indian_munnda: data center I could hit like 2MB/s [19:35] anilalur: hrm, digikam also gave error: cannot decode code stream [19:35] zaoul: are you a DBA? [19:36] kaius ok i was reading it was suppose to be faster other issue ? [19:36] anilalur: are there any jpeg2000 libraries besides jasper? [19:36] maco, it was an all black screen no window borders couldnt move the terminal around but terminal worked fine...then i typed in gnome-session and i got to the desktop but it was missing my panels [19:36] SnakDoc: I'm going to dl it again on the 29th and see if that problem's been corrected. [19:36] ZykoticK9: http://paste.ubuntu.com/297023/ here the ls -l and the menu.lst thanks for your help :) [19:36] indian_munnda: jr admin === kaie is now known as Guest28937 [19:36] . [19:36] aoupi: most open source can only decode basic version, if it's advanced you must go for prop stuff, check the wiki [19:36] maco, then i rebooted again it it was back at the all black screen with terminal in the left corner [19:36] zaoul: which company ? [19:36] Hsarci: did it have a text or graphical login screen? [19:37] aoupi: there are , but jasper is the standard [19:37] anilalur: ok, thanks :) [19:37] indian_munnda: government contractor [19:37] kaius i was thinking about upgrade now to avoid traffic that day of everyone updating [19:37] maco, graphical and i have auto login [19:37] zaoul: great man...really great ...:) [19:37] IpSe_DiXiT, sorry, missed it the first time - but was looking over it -- do you remeber what error you are getting? So far I don't see anything wrong. [19:37] aoupi: someone here told, it works on irfanview, why don't you try it ? [19:37] You can try it. I'm just relating my experience. [19:37] anilalur: because I don't have windows :) [19:37] indian_munnda: indeed [19:38] savid: maybe you have one there anyway and the permissions are wrong? [19:38] aoupi: what did jasper say ? [19:38] zaoul: i have heard that people in US get their wages/salaries on week basis? [19:38] zaoul, no it is not there [19:38] indian_munnda: biweekly [19:38] anilalur: http://pastebin.com/mc68c28c [19:38] Hsarci: oh...no idea how to change to "failsafe gnome" with auto-login...can you log out? [19:38] ZykoticK9: sure --> at every boot i get this "dev/disk/by-uuid xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx does not exist. dropping to a shell" here it suggests to perform some commands which i do "ls /dev" and "cat /proc/modules" then type "exit" and it finally loads the root disk and correctly boots (even if one of my hard drives is gone) [19:38] zaoul: in INDIA we wait till te month ends ....:) [19:39] IpSe_DiXiT, what are the xxx? we need to know which one it's failing on.

I am running linuxmint, and currently cannot get it to boot. I am getting an error with the xorg. It is saying that there is an issue, asks me if id like to fix it.. but it wont let me in. i already ran fsck.. it came back clean [19:40] I'll try uninstalling jasper and see what it falls back to [19:40] savid: deff check your perms on everything, and relating to the user in apache [19:41] or is that very stupid? :) [19:41] savid: check for strange symlinks too [19:41] aoupi: ouch, try gimp as a last option, or buy a prop software :) [19:41] anilalur: gimp failed too sadly [19:41] maco, sorry i got busy...yeah i can log out i think...its on my laptop though an battery is dead atm and i dont have a charger with me [19:41] I have a newb question because I don't install much fro command line and when I do it usual works. I am trying to ./configure and it fails sayign it could not find libpcap. In a usual install process where would one go to manually put the path to the binaries for missing dependencies because it is installed. [19:41] IpSe_DiXiT, those numbers all match, mystery continues. i'm not sure what to suggest? [19:41] anilalur: hehe yea [19:41] ZykoticK9: me neither what to do :D [19:42] Hsarci: well try logging out and choosing failsafe gnome on the login screen [19:42] aoupi: I guess they all use jasper :D [19:42] Hsarci: whenyou get battery [19:42] someone alive [19:42] zaoul: so any solutions? [19:42] Hi, if someone sent me their ssh public key as ---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ---- ... can I just take the inner part, remove linebreaks and put that into .ssh/authorized_keys ? [19:42] Schmitty: usually the ./configure would have a --with-libpcap=/path/to option [19:42] indian_munnda: extracting.. hold on [19:42] ko [19:43] anyone available to help me out? [19:43] aoupi: what is the extension ? [19:43] anilalur: jp2 [19:43] anilalur: found this thread about jasper http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2007-October/014431.html [19:43] Schmitty: check somewhere like.. /usr/share/lib/pcap .. ? or do a find .. its somewhere in /usr though [19:43] ZykoticK9: i really dont get it, itz been working well for months, 2 days ago it woke up and decided that it didnt want to find the root's hd's uuid and it didnt want to "see" one of my disks... i wouldnt be here if hours of googleing were giving some good feedback or if i could solve the mystery with my own knowledge [19:43] mgolisch: i edited the edid it didnt work because the monitor mode info isnt there to edit [19:43] zaoul, it's in usr [19:44] mgolisch: i did however edit the hex exactly like the guide said that you sent me [19:44] Ok, I created a /var/www/.htaccess file, made it 777, and I'm STILL getting the error? [19:44] zaoul, where can i get a list of configure options? [19:44] indian_munnda: ok so you exported ORACLE_HOME? [19:44] maco, what can I do after choosing failsafe gnome to get my desktop back??? [19:44] zaoul: yes sir [19:44] Schmitty: ./configure --help [19:44] c4pt: ? the edid doenst contain that [19:44] Hsarci: well im guessing failsafe has a better chance of working than default [19:45] Hsarci: so it might actually work [19:45] zaoul, [19:45] zaoul, ok cool [19:45] anyone know why /etc/rc.local doesn't run on bootup? /etc/init.d/rc.local is set, /etc/rc.local execution bit is set, and /etc/rc*.d/ all have S99rc.local linked [19:45] c4pt: it only contains the horzsync and vertrefresh values against whoch xorg validates the suggested modes [19:45] aoupi: JP2 is not advanced, looks like the file is too big for jasper [19:45] zaoul: i have set ORACLE_HOME as ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/Db_1 [19:45] anilalur: yea :( [19:45] c4pt: if it still doenst work look at the Xorg.0.log and see what it doenst like about 1024x768 [19:45] Hi, trying to learn linux here and I read you can start a process with the at command, but i'm having some problems. I set something like gedit to run a minute from now and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong with the at program? [19:46] anyone familiar with xorg issues? [19:46] indian_munnda: ok and what error are you getting? [19:46] JPSman: did you check with "atq" that it was scheduled properly? [19:46] maco, i dont want to just use failsafe though? [19:46] zaoul: it says "Oracle Database Lite installation requires ORACLE_HOME to be set. Please set it and retry again. [19:46] " [19:46] JPSman: at writte your command even various lines [19:46] indian_munnda: k.. hold on [19:47] Hsarci: at least check with that to be sure its your config thats broken and not something more major [19:47] mgolisch: http://www.pastie.org/660935 [19:47] JPSman: at sometime_in_the_future writte your command even various lines [19:47] mgolisch: look at the edid from my other monitor now the one with mode http://www.pastie.org/660932 [19:47] mgolisch: see. [19:47] maco, well how can i check config? [19:48] aoupi: ok you have 2 option either go for java based jj2000 or try kakadu , I am very sure kakadu will do it :) [19:48] mgolisch: the monitor i am trying to edit the edid for doesnt have Mode embedded in it so i cant make the edid a different resoloution [19:48] maco, im thinking that im just gonna to "sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop" [19:48] maco: I have. I run atq and I get 3 Mon Oct 19 11:48:00 2009 a JPSman [19:48] maco, that may fix it [19:48] aoupi: http://www.kakadusoftware.com/Downloads.html [19:48] hi [19:48] Hsarci: that wont change your configuration files in $HOME [19:48] anilalur: thanks [19:49] maco, so im f'ed in the a? === Guest32072 is now known as klees [19:49] erUSL: I have and it looks like the job is queued up right with atq [19:49] Hsarci: try the failsafe gnome and see how it goes. if it works, its something in your config files (probably ~/.config) [19:49] ZykoticK9: what about trying a recovery of the system? i also performed a "touch /forcefsck" which it did at next boot with no errors so far, recovery check? [19:49] zaoul: remember, i m installing that on ubuntu 8.04 [19:49] c4pt: ? xorg complains because tzhe horzsync + vertrefresh values from the edid are not compatible with the sugested resolution 1024x768 thats why you either disable edid check alltother and provide modes manualy or manipulate the edid to have horzsync and vertrefresh values that would allow for the desired resolution [19:50] indian_munnda: k [19:50] I think my grub broke, when I restart my computer it just restarts again and again when it gets to 'loading grub 1.5". The screen turns black, and it just restarts. I have ubuntu and windows 7 installed on it, and I've never had this problem before. [19:50] maco, ok ill do that whne i get some juice back in the laptop...thanks [19:50] #ubuntu.fi [19:50] mgolisch: if i disable edid i am only limited to 640x480 [19:50] IpSe_DiXiT, doesnt' the live CD have an option for booting first HD? tried that - if it does? [19:50] dennyc: did you recently install win 7?

[19:51] ZykoticK9: the thing is, now i am chatting from this pc, didnt have to use the laptop, because after that procedure i posted u b4 (cat /proc etc.etc.) it does loads ubuntu and i am now using it with no probs at all, indeed i dont understand [19:51] zaoul: it doesnt even get to the grub menu though which makes me think its grub not windows problem [19:52] how can I tell apt-get to ignore mysql upgrades? [19:52] dennyc: put the ubuntu cd in.. boot off of it... do recovery... reinstall grub [19:52] ZykoticK9: now it works as usual, if i reboot or turn off and back on it gives that prob [19:52] anilalur: hah, seems linux version doesn't include kdu_show :D [19:52] zaoul k thanks [19:52] !java [19:52] 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 [19:52] i dont have to leave because im on the mac [19:52] dennyc: reinstall grub to the entire drive sda not just sda1 [19:52] IpSe_DiXiT, now that's strange.

[19:54] Globalnet: ubuntu of course [19:54] aoupi: as I told earlier, decode a low res image :) or pipe it into imagemagik to convert directly into jpeg [19:54] Globalnet: the one that works best for you [19:54] zaoul: even i m installing jre [19:54] !best | Globalnet [19:54] Hi.

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:54] anilalur: I'll try piping it :) [19:54] ZykoticK9: thanks for ur help [19:54] Schmitty: locate is based upon the whereis db... do a find /usr -name pcap.h [19:55] erUSL: is gedit too "gui" for at to run? is at used mostly for running lower level programs? [19:55] how can I tell apt to ignore a certain package during upgrades? [19:56] Schmitty: /usr/share/pcap/include ?

[19:59] sahilsk: you can't do that in an image, yeah try searching it in pdf/ps [19:59] !root | b49 [19:59] b49: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [19:59] indian_munnda: apt-get install sun-java5-jre [19:59] zaoul: so should i stop that ?

[20:11] ok [20:11] I have a problem with Samba + Network-Manager. Samba starts up at boot time, but a network isn't yet configured because Network-Manager starts at login-time. Samba fails to start because no network is configured. Is there a way around this? [20:11] mgolisch: hmm even though i set the values for horiz and vertical in the xorg.conf they still show up as the wrong thing when i acquire the new edid and then parse it [20:11] zaoul: didnt get that option so i booted into livecd, anyway to reinstall grub from there> [20:11] mgolisch: doesnt make sense. [20:11] trism: i know u buddy...but ghostscript is only for pdf . i need to convet .doc, xml, .rtf,.odt format too. [20:11] erusul: is it called repair x? [20:11] erusul: the recovery scares me :( [20:11] mgolisch: without the nvidia drivers using ubuntu drivers i can display 1024x768 no problem [20:11] howdy [20:11] mgolisch: 1024x768 is the max my monitor can do [20:11] riley: yes something like that [20:12] sahilsk: good luck with that ! [20:12] mgolisch: as soon as it goes higher than 1024x768 its not decipherable [20:12] thanks anilalur. [20:12] mgolisch: its a 720p 26" lcd...tv [20:12] c4pt: ? aquire the edid? the edid info is read out of your monitor, your monitor doenst care shits for whats written in your xorg.conf file [20:12] erusul: thanks [20:12] may i ask if someone knows a good algebra learning software? [20:12] zaoul: dont go sir its installing 50% done and will take 8 min more..... [20:13] indian_munnda: ok [20:13] mgolisch: what can i use besides nvidia-settings to get the edid? [20:13] mgolisch: obvisouly something is afoul with the nvidia-settings acquire edid [20:14] c4pt: yeah that might be, or the non nvidia drivers just doesnt care for the reported edid [20:14] and uses the modes regardless [20:14] yester64: well, not so much learning software, but wxmaxima is very useful for checking symbolic manipulations [20:14] indian_munnda: ah ok so you do need the full backend for ORACLE_HOME.. what was that first directory you exported? [20:14] mgolisch: is there a tool i can use to get the edid.bin besides nvidia-settings? [20:14] hi everyone [20:15] yester64: as well as graphing functions [20:15] hi [20:15] i've got a problem with network manager in ubuntu 9.04 [20:15] Hi, having issues getting my LCD brightness to change, my FN buttons do not work, and within /proc/acpi/GFX0 the "brightness" script only has Yet I cannot change the brightness via FN buttons or in the bios (no settings, handled by OS) [20:15] yes, that would be great [20:15] c4pt: read-edid ? [20:15] zaoul: not working right... [20:15] c4pt: read-edid? [20:16] zaoul: first i exported /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/Db_1 [20:16] zaoul: as ORACLE_HOME [20:16] zaoul: mgolisch give me a moment [20:16] is there anyone who can help me to understand why my network-manager doesn't work no more? [20:16] indian_munnda: what are the directories just under /opt/oracle ? [20:17] zaoul: no directory there i have made these directories manually..... [20:17] zaoul: thats where the oracle installer installed the stuff, as it installs multiple components they are put into dedicated dirs [20:17] like the database, the clusterware etc [20:17] depending on what you install [20:17] how do i add an user to sudoers? [20:18] mgolisch: well ORACLE_HOME should be /opt/oracle right? [20:18] metasys: add user to /etc/sudoers file [20:18] you know i am so happy that i made the switch to linux. don't even know why i was so long on windows. [20:18] indian_munnda: thanks [20:18] MetaBot, users don't really get added to sudoers (that's for something else), put your user in the admin group [20:19] zaoul: i think that was for me not mgolisch? [20:19] zaoul: no it should be the root of the oracle database install in this case product/foo..bar/db_something [20:19] metasys: mention not [20:20] mgolisch: ok .. indian_munnda has /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/ as it [20:20] zaoul: ok dude [20:20] mgolisch: but he still recieves export oracle home error [20:20] zaoul: so should i export it now? [20:20] zaoul: mgolisch no i meant to dump edid to a .bin..... [20:20] what are you trying to fo anyways? [20:20] mgolisch: ah.. install Oracle Lite [20:20] Will AMD64 download of ubuntu 9.04 work with intel 64bit processors? [20:20] mgolisch: indian_munnda is [20:21] zaoul: mgolisch besides using nvidia-settings [20:21] c4pt: read-edid [20:21] zaoul: i have parse-edid and get-edid [20:21] timposey: Yes. AMD created the 64bit specification that both intel and amd use, so it is named after them. [20:22] indian_munnda: I believe that should be the right ORACLE_HOME... after that it will ask you for the JAVA15_HOME and that will be at JAVA15_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun [20:22] zaoul: download is complete now installing java5 [20:22] pici thanks... just seemed weird so now I know [20:22] guys I installed dontzap and I did sudo dontzap --disable [20:22] but ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work [20:22] should I enable it instead? [20:23] hmm why am I in win... rebootin [20:23] Take0n: you did did restart x11 right? [20:23] x11? [20:23] I did a logout login [20:23] zaoul: you mean /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/Db_1???? or ?OLITE?? [20:23] Take0n: that should do i guess maybe you need to restart gdm [20:23] !dontzap [20:23] 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. [20:23] indian_munnda: I seem to be reading conflicting reports.. [20:23] zaoul: mgolisch http://www.pastie.org/660995 [20:24] zaoul: didnt get you sorry [20:24] c4pt: do that as root [20:24] c4pt: like put sudo infront [20:24] mgolisch: i am root.

I have set up TightVncServer on an Ubuntu 9.4 machine, and a accessing it via my RealVNC client, with SSH port forwarding. The response time for commands is fine, but it takes way too long to paint the screen, which makes scrolling unacceptably slow. Will it help to use a different vnc server ? Perhaps RealVNC or Vnc4 ?

[20:41] saji: i have download a linux verion of OLITE of around 450mbin size from oracle.com [20:41] !rpm | tehbaut ç [20:41] tehbaut ç: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM.

[22:19] embrik-> hard to tell frm what you described so far [22:19] torrancew: about 5 years ago I believed wine, cedega has a future. Now I see I was wrong === cp is now known as Guest68973 [22:19] fantomas, why do you say that? wine has come so far in that time [22:19] torrancew: after months of fighting with Windows games on linux [22:19] torrancew, I have no specific advice. In general, I suggest breaking out a notebook and hammering on the failure scientifically to discover exactly what provokes it. Then get the failure to happen constantly and continuously. Meanwhile, try to track down (from within your system) exactly what driver is now in use; then (on the net) backtrack to see what it should do/does and perhaps who/whom to blame. [22:19] hey there [22:20] torrancew: maybe now the situtation has changed... of course [22:20] fantomas, without a doubt. i don't use it often, and the discovery with wine/half-life 2 was mostly me seeing how wine was holding out these days, but it's definitely gotten a better foothold [22:20] Is there a way to downgrade my mysql with apt-get when I did apt-get upgrade to upgrade it? The new version is screwing up [22:21] i think that xp's long lifespan helped those guys catch up [22:21] n8tuser: one server - one switch - two nic on server - dhcp listens on eth1 - gives ip to one client on eth1 - server connects to the internet on eth0 - eth0 is dhcp - no errors in dhcpd.conf nor syslog [22:21] xiong, thank you [22:21] just purge it and install the old version via debpackage [22:21] Wine is pretty important. There will always be a need for it. That said, I don't want to soak in it. [22:21] inno [22:21] xiong, do you have any advice on how to pursue that? [22:21] embrik-> can you draw a network layout of yours? a pix is worth a thousand words.. please do this so i dont get confused [22:21] hello i need some assistance here.. [22:21] xiong, @wine, agreed [22:21] torrancew: yeah, and now ppl will move to W7, and poor wine guys will have to rewrite most of their code :( [22:22] whats up lotus? [22:22] n8tuser, I don't know how I can draw it here? [22:22] i have little to no peronal use for wine, but i respect the work that those guys put into that, and i sure couldn't imagine doing it myself [22:22] embrik-> just draw boxes and lines, then put the label and ip addresses.. thats should tell a lot [22:22] n8tuser, OK, and post it where? [22:22] hello guys it is possible to show [22:22] !pastebin | embrik [22:23] embrik: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [22:23] m trying to install and use a portable scanner.. .in ubuntu 9.04.. the driver and software came wid it.. is said to be tested with ubuntu 7.04 [22:23] dotfiles to backup whole home directory? [22:23] n8tuser, ok [22:23] we have liberaries in place [22:23] torrancew, Sorry I can't help better; I don't have any specific knowledge that bears on your issue. From the browsing around I've done just now, I smell an extremely nasty road ahead for you, I'm afraid. [22:23] from nautilus? [22:23] and compilation done for the software [22:23] but.. [22:23] in the end it canot use the device [22:23] hm [22:23] torrancew, If I might, I'll tell you a sort of unrelated anecdote, may illustrate something. [22:24] xiong, go ahead [22:24] gimme a lsusb via query [22:24] on their website.. they dont even support for linux .. but we got one driver for it.. which works for 7 version.. [22:24] ok 1 mins [22:24] hi! i've a ntfs partition and i want to load it with the boot of ubuntu, somebody can help me? [22:24] hey elabi.... no problem [22:24] elabi31, man fstab, if you're comfy in man pages [22:24] can i msg u in pvt ? or shud i put here ? [22:25] just msg in pvt [22:25] k [22:25] elabi31-> also describe exactly what your goal is for doing this? [22:25] or would you suggest tar? [22:26] u got it [22:26] wait a mom [22:26] Is there a way to downgrade my mysql with apt-get when I did apt-get upgrade to upgrade it? The new version is screwing up [22:26] torrancew, This year, I got a MPC TransPort X3100 laptop: the ultimate in no-brand, off-brand abandonware. After a little upgrading, it's kind of a hot-rod but of course tech support is non-existent; MPC is out of business. I got it with Ubuntu 8.10 on it and the display was horribly messed up. [22:26] Or something.. [22:26] i need my old version back [22:28] torrancew, One reason I bought the funky laptop was because of the very big screen but it kept falling into weird and bad video modes. I spent about three weeks falling back to 1024x768, learning about xorg.conf, and trying all kinds of esoteric stuff. No joy. [22:28] xiong, i've experienced that particular level of hell before myself, but please go on [22:29] torrancew, Intense frustration. Then Ubuntu 9.04 came out and I trashed the existing system and installed the new. Instant success with the display and no problems since. [22:29] Why do I need to be root to unmount a drive? [22:30] i lost my laptop on the floor (didnt thought it was so hard tho), now my pc's grapic FREEZE whenever i try to start AMSN (mouse still works, the light indicating that my network card is active still blinks, so i guess downloads etc are still going, but all grapic freeze except mouse), so i guess i should try to.. 'scan the disk' (in windows its called "scanndisk"/"chkdsk", dunno what its... [22:30] ...called in linux) umm.. how/what should i do? [22:30] oi [22:30] m0r0n, Strongly suggest you choose a slightly less kewl nick. I almost broke a knuckle trying to type yours even as far as the autocomplete. [22:30] How do I get version history of ubuntu apt-get packages so I can see when they where changed to different versions? [22:30] hi all [22:31] xiong, i always have a love/hate feeling when something like that happens [22:31] You need to be root in order to unmount because, in theory, other users of the system may be using the device. [22:31] Would anyone happen to know a way to install a base Ubuntu image onto a computer using dd that would then install itself? I have an old thinkpad that has no cdrom and cannot boot from any USB devices. Is there a base image that installs the system onto the same partition when booted? Installing in a VM and then dding the image across results in hardware incompatabilities, since it was installed on a VM with different hardware. [22:31] xiong: My hard drives are auto-mounting and I don't know why its happening === m0r0n is now known as Arsin [22:32] torrancew, I just mean to say, sometimes there is a truly ugly issue, and somebody is already working on it, and you get the fix before you even find out who to blame. [22:32] how could i download all files from a webpage with a certain extension? [22:32] what program can i use to extract music from videos? [22:32] kelli, mplayer should do nicely [22:32] Mnemosyne_: umm.. maybe you could switch the harddrive with some other laptop and install a OS and put it back in the original, and prey that the OS will update hardware-drivers? [22:33] ok so imagemagick can create images from pdf files, how can i create a single pdf file created from image files (jpeg and gif) [22:33] Arsin, I think you *want* your hard drives to automount. Why not? [22:33] Mnemosyne_: (i think thats what i'd try at least) [22:33] Boa noite [22:33] n8tuser, pasted it at http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add - nick embrik [22:34] Hans_Henrik: My only other laptop is a considerably different Dell XPS, I tried making an image using it but since the new one uses SATA and the old one IDE, there was a problem with the boot. [22:34] whats the quick path to home , is it /~ ? [22:34] koshari: ~ [22:34] xiong, thanks for the advice [22:35] ikonia with a backslash? [22:35] embrik-> not a good link, post a good link please, dont make it difficult for us to click on it [22:35] Mnemosyne_: in at least some laptops, theres a option in the BIOS to support IDE, know if your other laptop got such an option? [22:35] koshari: no, just ~ [22:35] xiong: I don't want them to, no reason but I don't want them too. Songbird found my music in a directory there, when I made it auto mount it gave me errors screwing everything in my library up, I used pysdm or whatever it is. I changed it back to default and then deleted it but it is still automounting [22:36] Hans_Henrik: The only disk options in the Dell BIOS to do with the HDD are power-saving options and between fast sata and slow sata. [22:36] ikonia thnx [22:37] Arsin, Okay, if I understand you correctly, you have a special-purpose hard drive, which you don't usually want to mount. Suggest you check out its mount point. Somewhere, perhaps in gparted, you should have the ability to deselect automount. [22:37] xiong: /etc/fstab deals with auto mounting [22:37] Arsin, You're not going to get around the need to unmount as root, or at least as a user with privileges. [22:38] Bodsda, Yes, that's correct. I was there a few weeks ago, couldn't remember the name. I had to edit it by hand then. I think you can reach it through gparted, though. [22:38] Arsin, xiong is right about the privileges, you won't be able to mount (auto or manual) anything in /dev without them [22:38] * xiong looks [22:39] xiong: nope. I don't think gparted can modify fstab [22:39] Hi all. I'm on ubuntu Jaunty. Is the upgrade from firefox 3.0.14 to 3.5.x okay ? Have some of you performed it ? [22:39] why would you want it to? [22:39] torrancew: Its in /media [22:39] the mountpoint is [22:39] ngirard: yep, no problems [22:39] the source drive is likely in /dev [22:39] Bodsda, You're correct in any case. [22:39] Bodsda: hi, thanks for your feedback ! Are you using Zotero ? [22:39] and /media is owned by root anyway, i believe [22:40] though that's safer to change than /dev [22:40] how do i set up desktop effects? [22:40] ngirard: no I am not, sorry [22:40] cya bb [22:40] what's your exact issue, Arsin? [22:40] you can pvt me if needed [22:40] diegoviola, Suggest you check out CompizConfig? [22:40] diegoviola: go to preferences > Appearence -- final tab - change effects to high [22:40] Bodsda: okay, never mind. Oh, one last question: have you upgraded using the Ubuntu packages ? [22:41] xiong: torrancew: I use to be able to umount and mount without being root, why has this come up all of a sudden? [22:41] hello, anyone knows why they have changed from pidgin to empathy in the new ubuntu that is coming? and are there any other changes? [22:41] ngirard: no, I built from source but the repo's are probably a better option [22:41] nicklas_: #ubuntu+1 please [22:41] ngirard, i have [22:41] Bodsda: ? [22:41] n8tuser, what about this: http://imagebin.org/68451 [22:41] diegoviola, Note that some of the effects can't be turned on by an individual user. [22:41] Hi all, quick question. I downloaded the beta, created a USB boot from it, and booted into the LiveCD. The problem is I get what looks to be gdm with a computer icon and it just says "ubuntu" - if I click on it, it changes to "ubuntu karmic (development branch). There does not seem to be any tty enabled on ctrl-alt-f1 through f6. Am I missing something obvious? [22:41] Arsin: can you give me more details please? i missed the beginning [22:41] Bodsda: you're probably right. Many thanks again for your feedback ! [22:42] ngirard: no worries [22:42] nicklas_ empathys roadmap includes video features [22:42] Arsin, Sorry, I think not. You do not need actually to login as root but your user account must have privileges. [22:42] nicklas_: all Karmic discussions should take place in #ubuntu+1 [22:42] torrancew: Hi ! Have you experienced any problems ? [22:42] vvarder, i believe those were disabled by default starting in karma. there is a package to fix this "feature", but it's name eludes me at the moment [22:43] embrik-> 1. you dont want to mixed static and dynamic, for it may have an address collision [22:43] ngirard, not particularly [22:43] torrancew: I used pysdm to set auto mounting, it did so, songbird couldn't read my music anymore, set everything to default, deleted pydsm, still screwing up [22:43] !karmic | vvarder [22:43] vvarder: 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 [22:43] xiong: How do I set those privileges? [22:43] ngirard: though it will not replace the default package, just make a firefox-3.5 executable === rconan is now known as IRConan [22:43] @torrancew, cool, but I'd really just like to login to test a bug that's supposed to be fixed and give feedback, what am I missing to login to the live beta CD? [22:43] so it's pretty safe [22:43] vvarder: live cd should log in automatically [22:43] embrik-> 2. you also forgot which nic has which ip address [22:44] vvarder, have you tried ubuntu as user and pass? [22:44] n8tuser you could use static in a high part of the range and set the dhcp server to only server dynamics in a lower range [22:44] Arsin: i've never used pysdm, but is the drive currently mounted? [22:44] vvarder, the user might be "ubuntu" with no password [22:44] Arsin, If you installed Ubuntu "normally" as a desktop user, then the first user account created should have privileges, in the sense that you will be prompted for your password and it will be taken as a root pw. [22:44] Arsin: pastebin your /etc/fstab file and we can see what is going on [22:45] torrancew: No I unmounted it via terminal [22:45] ok, I feel like an idiot, but: I tried compiling a custom kernel in Karmic. I had somewhere around 10GB when I started and now I have about 700MB left. Can anyone help me get the space back? [22:45] hey guys I'm trying to install mesa and I have no idea why the ./configure wont run. I am missing a package called 'xext', [22:45] rolamoto-> you have heard of rm -Rf ....... [22:45] can you remount it? i may be able to give you an /etc/fstab entry that will do what you would like [22:45] Semtex: whay are you compilng from source ? [22:45] @torrance: yeah, but I don't have a username field, just the one icon. If I try typing ubuntu it's opens what looks like a search box, hit enter, nothing. There's just the time in the corner and the "shutdown" button with the options there, it's a bit odd [22:45] n8tuser: you have heard of #ubuntu channel rules? [22:45] Arsin, Can you not simply see the offending drive in Nautilus? Click the small unmount button next to the device in the sidebar. [22:45] why can I do it another way? [22:46] rolamoto, did you try "make clean" (if using a make file)? [22:46] Bodsda: http://paste.ubuntu.com/297151/ [22:46] n8tuser, eth1 on server 192.168.1.5 - the client gets ip from the server 192.168.1.198 [22:46] Bodsda-> yes, and you want to ? [22:46] Hello I need to report a X bug, i would like how to check my version of xorg-xserver-* ? [22:46] torrancew: okay, fine, thanks for you r feedback too! I think i'll just give it a try now. Firefix 3.0.14 is just too unstable here, I just hope ff 3.5 will perform better in this respect [22:46] embrik-> put it in the drawing so no confusions [22:47] vvarder: haven't tried the karmic beta, so i'm afraid i can't help you there [22:47] I think I just used the default settings [22:47] !version | factran [22:47] i can try to find that package name though, vvarder [22:47] factran: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [22:47] ok [22:47] n8tuser: no. But please dont tell people to use rm -rf to regain space. If they don't know how to delete files then chances are they don't know how to properly use that command [22:47] can image magick combine multiple images into a tiff? [22:47] xiong: Bodsda: torrancew: Thanks, got it working now. Now I can mount/unmount from my user instead of going into root. What is a good automounting program since pydsm is screwing up for me [22:47] erUSUL: thanks. Do you know what package are the most relevant to submit an X bug ? [22:47] so any idea on how I can get mesa working? [22:47] torrance: cool, thanks anyway I'll try some friends of mine or maybe hit the channel up later [22:47] factran: xserver-xorg ? [22:47] Arsin: /etc/fstab will do the trick nicely [22:48] erUSUL: only ? [22:48] Arsin: i always use fstab,, or manual mount from terminal [22:48] I need a pakage called xext [22:48] where would I find this? [22:48] Bodsda-> similarly on same concept, they should not just do a compilation without understanding the impact of what they do? [22:48] factran: yep [22:48] :) [22:48] n8tuser: why, compilations do no harm in general terms [22:49] the resolution is so huge on my laptop i cant hit ok to change it, what do i do ???? [22:49] Semtex: have you tried a apt-cache search xext? [22:49] Bodsda-> the guys is complaining, so its a harm to him [22:49] Bodsda: How would I go about setting that? [22:49] n8tuser: something can be hard without being dangerous [22:49] anyhow.. i get you Bodsda :P [22:49] Arsin, I do think you should be able to edit fstab so the drive doesn't automount to begin with. On the other hand, in your shoes, I'd be trying to figure out why it was bad to have my media automounted and try to fix that. [22:49] Semtex: you should install things from packages [22:49] Arsin: lemme get you a link [22:49] BoxMagnet, can you get to a terminal [22:49] thiebaude, yes [22:49] how do i add the "universe" repository from Terminal? [22:50] Arsin: http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/Understandingfstab.pdf [22:50] Bodsda: xiong: Thank you [22:50] I need a decent swf player/editor any suggestions? I'm on kubuntu intrepid [22:50] Sonja: edit /etc/apt/sources.list [22:50] Sonja: sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the appropriate line [22:50] n8tuser, can't eth0 and eth1 have mixed static and dhcp on two different subnets? [22:50] Arsin: your welcome [22:50] Sonja, Don't know. Why not click the box in Synaptic GUI, instead? [22:50] n8tuser, here: http://imagebin.org/68452 [22:50] Sonja: sudo "software-properties-gtk -e universe" Or edit /etc/apt/sources.lst manually [22:50] im trying to print to pdf (the default printer) with the lpr command, where does the pdf file go? [22:51] thiebaude, what do i do lol [22:51] Thanks Bodsda I found what i needed with apt-cache search ! [22:51] box [22:51] Arsin, Good luck. Sorry I couldn't help better. [22:51] Semtex: your welcome [22:51] BoxMagnet, im trying out a xrandr command for you and its not working [22:52] hacker_kid: by the looks of the man page it is specified as the last argument [22:52] embrik-> they can have mix, but you have to know what youare doing.. anyhow, what is the result of route -n for your dhcp client ? === jmrodri is now known as jmrodri-gone [22:52] i can't ping from my Ubuntu netbook to my XP desktop, but I can the other way. i've been able to share my home folder and windows recognizes it as a share, but still can't ping it. any suggestions? [22:52] Bodsda, which man page are you looking at, im not finding htat [22:52] that* [22:53] hacker_kid: man lpr [22:53] Bodsda, im looking at that file, what are you seeing/ [22:53] rodriLD-> look at its gateway, see route -n [22:53] hacker_kid: lpr [ -E ] [ -H server[:port] ] [ -U username ] [ -P destination[/instance] ] [ -# num-copies [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -m ] [ -o option[=value] ] [ -p] [ -q ] [ -r ] [ -C/J/T title ] [ file(s) ] [22:54] n8tuser: what about route -n? [22:54] rodriLD-> also i think windows have disabled ping responses on service patch 3.. check the firewall [22:54] rodriLD-> its your way to get there [22:54] n8tuser: windows firewall is disabled [22:54] ie via the gateway [22:54] Bodsda, ah, that argument determines which files are printed, not where the pdf file is saved, lpr is a command line printing command not spefically for the pdf printer [22:54] thiebaude, figured it out, its called tab LOL [22:55] rodriLD: Sounds like it's probably a windows issue, try asking in ##windows [22:55] BoxMagnet, ahh, ok [22:55] thiebaude, i just used tab, k thanks anyway [22:55] rodriLD-> match their ip addresses.. [22:55] hacker_kid: [-P destination[/instance] ] [22:55] Bodsda, determines which printer to use [22:55] BoxMagnet, my xrandr command i was going to give you doesn't work on this widescreen lcd [22:55] n8tuser: the windows box's IP doesn't appear in route -n, if that's what you mean [22:55] BoxMagnet, np [22:56] rodriLD-> check on both ends, in windows i think its routeprint [22:56] ok, so... I was having trouble hibernating before, so I asked here and ended up increasing my swap partition size. Now I can hibernate just fine, but I haven't been able to successfully resume from hibernation since changing the partition size [22:56] Can anyone help me? I cannot watch any youtube videos but I've installed the adobe flash player and codecs i thought necessary [22:56] hacker_kid: hmm, my fault, should have read the description, sorry. Perhaps it is in the name -C [22:57] For the purposes of a server/router machine, what kind of comparison is there between Debian Lenny and Ubuntu, both 8.04 LTS, and 9.04? [22:57] n8tuser, http://imagebin.org/68453 [22:57] anyone know how to troubleshoot not resuming from hibernate? even a way to get an error log would be good [22:57] estretc1, if you use firefox did you restart it? [22:57] n8tuser: same on windows, the ubuntu pc's ip doesn't appear [22:57] yes multiple times [22:57] estretc1, you use 64bit ubuntu/ [22:57] strange thing is that i can actually see my home folder from windows and even transfer files to and from it === [1]fungi is now known as rickasaurus [22:58] what does that mean thiebaude? [22:58] how can i change whatever im doing wrong [22:58] embrik-> your dhcp server seems to be misconfigured, not dolling out the correct gw and such parameters [22:58] I am trying to learn how to connect remotely to my nieces computer so that I can do maintanace to it. What software will I need to do this? [22:58] Bodsda, wow, that solved one problem but now im printing half a page :( [22:59] hi anyone know why I cant authenticate my gnome-do ppa? [22:59] jode: are you connecting to a windows or ubuntu machine? [22:59] n8tuser, do I set gw in network/interfaces or in dhcpd.conf? [22:59] the terminal is just sitting there [23:00] anyone know why i cannot watch youtube videos even after installing adobe flash player and codecs and restarting firefox? [23:00] trism, from ubuntu to ubuntu, is it possible to control a windows machine with linux? [23:00] i can share files from windows to ubuntu, but not ping or anything the other way round. any ideas? [23:00] embrik, If you're passing the default gateway to a DHCP client, set the gateway IP as that DHCP range's "option router" line in dhcpd.conf. [23:00] jode: I'm going to go on the assumption the niece is on windows and you are on ubuntu? [23:00] embrik-> your dhcp server has to dole out the correct info, you may have to see a tutorial on how it is done.. [23:00] i just upgraded my acer aspire one netbook from 9.04 to 9.10, and my touchpad has stopped working - any ideas what may be up? xorg.conf is the same before and after upgrade, shallow defaults, <50l [23:00] embrik, Hold one. [23:00] quontrex_ashimi, I just installed edubuntu on her machine and I use ubuntu [23:01] jode: then use System/Preferences/Remote Desktop on the machine you want to connect to, and use any vnc viewer you want on the machine you're connecting from [23:01] Hi, I've tried to install ubuntu, 9.04 64bit and 8.04 32bit, neither work. They both crash when installing... any ideas? [23:01] xadart, can you be more detailed?

[23:02] The2morrowMan, well I notice it has no nameservers in it [23:03] jode: it is a primitive graphical remote connection [23:03] * thiebaude away [23:03] dotblank, No, that's specified higher up, and that'll depend on how you're configuring it. Are you passing static nameservers, or is that machine also functioning as the DNS forwarder? [23:03] !vnc | jode [23:03] jode: 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 [23:03] I start installing any ubuntu version, I've tried a couple. I can begin the installation, I go through the steps and during midway of installation the screen loses signal, everything crashes, cant open the cd drive, nothing.

More than likely, the machine running the dhcp server is also functioning as your LAN's router, and it's internal interface IP should go there. [23:05] jode: I would recommend installing x11vnc on her machine and vncviewer on yours then ssh to her machine run x11vnc on hers, do your thing and it will stop x11vnc when you log out, closing the security hole [23:05] xadart, do you remember at what stage that happens in the installation? [23:05] embrik, If that does not describe your situation, then my information is invalid, and I'll need more information to help you.

[23:06] jode, yes several ways [23:06] you can download realvnc for free [23:07] jode, ubuntu has a RDP client also [23:07] rdp is no fun :( [23:07] bodsda: ok it installed is there anything else i need to do? [23:07] estretc1: restart firefox and having fun watching your... youtube [23:07] dotblank, what is rdp? [23:07] something tube anyway [23:08] I think its remote desktop protocol [23:08] jode: remote desktop protocol -- microsofts graphical remote connection tool [23:08] tightvnc also has windows client/server as well [23:08] rodriLD-> and these two hosts are connected via a router or a hub and getting an ip from a single dhcp server? [23:08] jode: remote desktop protocol [23:08] The2morrowMan, http://imagebin.org/68452 [23:08] rodriLD-> also repaste your route -n for your ubuntu side.. [23:08] its the built in winders vnc [23:08] Its what windows uses.. If you right click my computer goto properties there should be a tab called "remote desktop" or "remote assistance" [23:08] remote assistance != remote desktop [23:08] embrik, Okay, perfect. Now I know what I need to know. [23:09] n8tuser: they are both connected to a router but I assigned the static IPs myself (windows box = 192.168.0.133, ubuntu = 192.168.0.144) [23:09] embrik, Give me a minute. [23:09] The2morrowMan, ok [23:09] well crud time got away from me, time to leave the bar go get the girl and go to another bar [23:09] bodsda: certain videos still will not work [23:09] estretc1: link? [23:10] rodriLD-> sometimes overlapping an ip from a dhcp assigned range is not good, try to use a far away from the range.. [23:10] bodsda: just for example, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMsQhI089Qk [23:10] embrik, why is the option routers is 192.168.1.254? the eth1 port on the server is 192.168.15 [23:10] rodriLD-> btw, paste the results of route -n for your ubuntu [23:10] n8tuser: here it is: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/297171/ === kaie is now known as Guest20800 [23:11] sorry, still can't get used to netbook touchpads lol [23:11] estretc1: 64bit or 32bit install? [23:11] anyonethere === John is now known as Guest98452 [23:11] the netbook pad is made by alps I think [23:11] bodsda: 32 bit i didnt know which one to do so it advised me to leave settings as they were (32 bit) [23:12] dotblank, don't know - I have just pasted this from a howto ( So option touters should be the same as the static ip adresse? [23:12] estretc1: odd. I am on 64 and having youtube issues as well [23:12] embrik, Look at this: http://pastebin.com/d822a738 [23:12] max131, what is your question for the channel? [23:12] embrik, are you running a DNS server also? [23:12] dotblank, He'd have to be. [23:12] Bodsda, are you using the open flash player or adobe's? [23:12] bodsda: what i really dont understand is that it will play when i click play in a new window [23:12] rodriLD-> kind of confusing your windows has both 192.168.0.101 and 192.168.0.1 gateways [23:12] dotblank, All he'd have to do is install bind9 - it automatically functions as a DNS forwarder to the internal zone. [23:12] The2morrowMan, he could set the dns server to his ISP's DNS server [23:13] MK13: adobe's -- this worked yesterday. An upgrade must have fubar'd something [23:13] dotblank, no?? [23:13] dotblank, Not with the configuration he had. [23:13] rodriLD-> i suggest dont mess with static address allocation lest you know how they are assigned with correct parameters [23:13] embrik, That pastebin has a DHCP server configuration that'd take care of you. Make sure you install BIND9, however, so that it'll function as your LAN's DNS forwarder. [23:13] bodsda, karmic or jaunty? [23:13] The2morrowMan, yes not with his config he needs to change the the option routers to his server and then either set the dns servers to his isp or his server and run bind9 like you said [23:13] MK13: jaunty [23:14] n8tuser: wow, huge fail on my behalf, forgot to assign static IP for the windows box after formatting...I assigned it and now it works [23:14] hello. i have a problem. with ubuntu 9.04 i can't connect to the internet. i am using the latest mac mini [23:14] bodsda, let me check if it works for me (adobe's on 64 bit) [23:14] estretc1: run this and go get a coffee, try again after it has finished -- sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade -y [23:14] dotblank, I find the BIND9 route to be the easier one, honestly. [23:14] MK13: cheers dude [23:14] n8tuser: thanks for the help dude [23:14] rodriLD-> hey hey.. GL [23:14] embrik, A word of warning: Your DHCP range is pretty wide. Almost uselessly so. [23:15] The2morrowMan, it adds another layer of complexity.. its really not that big of a deal and it is more flexible with varying environments [23:15] msg Cosmo1 ello [23:15] dotblank, aptitude install bind9 - Not much of a layer. ;) [23:16] MK13: an update && upgrade; killall firefox; nohup firefox & has fixed the issue === Guest98452 is now known as hatter243 [23:16] n8tuser: I guess the problem wasn't that simple...i can ping now, but no luck setting up the windows shares in ubuntu [23:16] Bodsda, seems to work fine for me (even though the loading bar is completely full immediately when video loads) [23:16] The2morrowMan, unless you had a firewall already installed [23:16] Bodsda, good to hear it :D [23:16] MK13: cheers :) [23:16] dotblank, What would that have to do with anything? [23:16] Can anyone recommend a simple/decent monitoring tool (web based) for ubuntu server? [23:17] rodriLD-> thats just the first step is the network connecting the two, next step is to use a sharing file system [23:17] The2morrowMan, I agree. But, well, I used your lines in dhcpd.conf - the client got ip but I can't connect to the internet [23:17] The2morrowMan, I've resterted dhcpserver anythuing else? [23:17] embrik, That's the next step. Do you have iptables set up to forward, NAT, etc? [23:17] rodriLD-> look into mounting it via sshfs , i dont have the details immediately, but you may have to google for it [23:18] embrik, If not, the easy solution is in the package repo: arno-iptables-firewall. [23:18] embrik, Sets up EVERYTHING. It's rather elegant. [23:18] n8tuser: i've already tried the connect to server dialog from ubuntu as well as trying to access the workgroup from nautilus directly, no luck with both [23:18] The2morrowMan, sorry - don't know about iptables - ok, I'll try that [23:18] can only access my ftp server through sftp have been trying for months to fix this [23:18] I just posted this thread in the forums but was wondering if I might find more immediate help here [23:18] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1295602 [23:18] rodriLD-> hang, lets see if i have it bookedmarked [23:18] bodsda: still nothing is working. my irl friend is having no problem watching the same video [23:18] i was going to have to install another server due to a problem encountered. is there any instruction on having a secure server as much as possible eliminating and closing ports and disabling unnecessisary services etc? [23:19] where can i find some help with mdadm? [23:19] embrik, Just install that package, and do what it says. However, there's a little oddity with the dpkg configuration - when it's done, do a dpkg-reconfigure arno-iptables-firewall, and follow it all the way through. Pay close attention to each prompt. When it asks to enable NAT, say yes. [23:20] anyone else have any input on how to get youtube videos to consistantly work? i've downloaded the flash player non-free and still nothing [23:20] rodriLD-> nope dont have it bookedmarked [23:20] Can anyone recommend a simple/decent monitoring tool (web based) for ubuntu server? [23:21] n8tuser: i recall having used windows shares from ubuntu before (not from this netbook) with no problem, could it be by any chance an smb.conf problem? [23:21] !ebox [23:21] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [23:21] erUSUL : Thanks, will check it out [23:21] rodriLD-> thats one way, using cifs or samba, but its a long time since i hve done those myself [23:21] hi, how to check the current Ubuntu version on your system ? [23:21] ebox is awesome [23:22] n8tuser: i've tried sharing my home folder both manually from smb.conf as well as the share folder dialog in nautilus, and both ways were recognized by windows [23:22] looking to stream audio/video files.

[23:26] haha [23:26] embrik, There is a big terminology difference between "network" and "interface". "eth1" is an interface. "192.168.1.0/24" is the CIDR-notation for the network that that interface accesses. [23:26] so many guys here [23:26] JoshuaP0x1 : yes i can watch youtube video. [23:26] n8tuser: all the tutorials i've seen assume that if you can ping a windows box you can share files with it, which is not my case. guess i'll have to look harder [23:26] The2morrowMan, Thanks a lot [23:26] rodriLD-> but now you can ping right? so the 1st step is solved === mitch_ is now known as Guest61090 [23:28] The2morrowMan, Is it possible to get a gui into the firewall/router?

[23:57] lotus1231: sure, but you can test it on 7.04 and learn more about how it is supported on *some* version of linux [23:57] m not a ubuntu expert :) thats why i need help :) [23:57] lotus1231: sounds like the sort of thing you'll need to pay someone for. learn to investigate on your own. you need not be an expert, use lsmod and things.. [23:58] bro.. i have lsmod and lsusb.. and done those things.. i have instructions on how to do it on 7.04. but i cannot find same env in 9.04.. thats is confusing me.. i thot this wu b a plac where i can get problems fixed but its disappointing [23:59] thanks .. for nothing [23:59] bye [23:59] if you want to use poorly supported hardware, you need to learn a minimum about drivers in linux.. [23:59] lotus1231: hey i'm just here trying to solve my own problem, i offer wisdom more than answers on what seems to be a fringe device.. === max__ is now known as GingerKid [23:59] /msg NickServ identify getalife1 [23:59] typically, you are better off dealing with more mainstream hardware on linux, few vendors support driver development, and it's a lot of work for someone to do as a hobby..
