I can su to a user from root though [00:33] Bodsda: what do you actually want to run? [00:34] jrib: pretty much that -- I need firefox to go to a youtube site then to wake me up in the morning [00:35] Bodsda: at probably runs in some limited environment (check) [00:35] jrib: check what??? do you want me to run at as sudo or something? [00:35] Bodsda: check what environment at is running your commands in... [00:36] jrib: /bin/sh [00:36] Bodsda: I mean save the output of "env" somewhere [00:36] durt, with an intel card using the uxa or what not they use now was useless, using exa with optimizations or using xaa made scrolling flawless [00:37] jrib: http://pastebin.com/f7be02882 [00:38] Bodsda: tell it to save stdout and stderr of your firefox command somewhere then [00:38] hi there. what would a sane way of adding a 'ppa:' link to my software sources through terminal be? [00:38] Bodsda: for your at command try DISPLAY=:0.0 firefox www.google.com [00:38] Bodsda: that worked for me [00:38] Gratz474, so you needed hardware acceleration turned on then. [00:38] hola [00:38] Bodsda: or whatever the display you're currently using is [00:38] alguien me puede ayudar [00:38] Bodsda: you ran env inside at right?

[00:41] GodfatherofEire: yay, I feel (a bit) useful ;) [00:41] Bodsda: what does echo $DISPLAY give you? [00:41] so, i just ran find . -size +0 -exec mv -i {} {}xxx \; and now i have a bunch of files that are named genericporntitle.avixxx, can anyone tell me how to get rid of the xxx's i just added to my files? [00:41] durt, i thought it was the oldest? [00:41] trism: :0.0 [00:42] Gratz474, er, actually no, EXA replaced XAA, but UXA is the latest according to wikipedia [00:42] yes uxa is just pwned durt [00:42] Bodsda: does gedit work? (setting DISPLAY properly) [00:42] durt, so what is my nvidia card running right now ? [00:42] Bodsda: odd, cause I just did at now, then DISPLAY=:0.0 firefox-3.5 www.google.com and it worked perfectly *shrugs* [00:43] Gratz474, I don't think nvidia uses Xrendering, it has it's own method. [00:43] jrib: trism -- sorry guys, it is so late. I am gonna go with a python time.sleep((60 * 60) * 6) to get up in 6 hours [00:43] :( [00:43] durt, thats not what i wanted to hear heheh [00:43] Bodsda: just use the regular "sleep" command in bash [00:43] Bodsda: good luck [00:43] jrib: trism -- thanks guys [00:44] durt, it works perfect all but the scrolling [00:44] Gratz474, I thinkl this is why the whole restricted drivers thing exists. [00:44] i feel i can figure it out though but blah [00:45] what's up all you guys [00:45] not to much [00:45] how can i restart X without closing all the applications? [00:46] Gratz474: you can't. [00:46] Gratz474, you can't. [00:46] Gratz474: look into xpra [00:46] Gratz474: System/Preferences/Startup Applications, Options tab, remember applications when I log out [00:46] I did restart all the drivers today without rebooting [00:47] any tips for improving scrolling on a nvidia [00:47] i get 1000 fps in glxgears or what not per sec === lJl is now known as LjL [00:48] 800 something actually [00:48] i should be able to have some good scrolling [00:48] could one decrypt my encrypted home folder with just my mount passphrase, or would one need my login passphrase as well? [00:48] Gratz474: no idea, I have nvidia too and firefox scrolls fine [00:48] everything else works perfectly [00:48] trism, how about on facebook? [00:49] Gratz474, that's fairly low, you should be getting ~5000, do you have the restricted drivers installed/running? [00:49] Gratz474: although, do you have smooth scrolling enabled? [00:49] Gratz474: I don't have a facebook account so I don't know [00:50] pourquoi ubuntu français ne marche plus ? [00:50] durt, i am on a geforce 2 :) i was getting 80-100 with the intel [00:50] trism, i do not [00:50] i have the restricted drivers running yes [00:50] Gratz474: the only time scrolling is slow for me is on sites that put several flash applications on a page, but that is more of a flash issue than a firefox one [00:50] all effects work everything works fine [00:50] just want a better scroll [00:50] Gratz474, intel is not the right driver, nvidia 96.x is. [00:51] durt, i meant the intel integrated card i used before [00:51] it was horrrrible [00:51] 100 fps per sec if i was lucky [00:51] in the demo [00:52] ya guyz windows crappy & came out today ...lol [00:52] 34141 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6828.139 FPS GeForce 7900/GT/GTO [00:52] trism, yea but i am sure you have a much higher one [00:52] it's amazing the details people like. Of all the bits about ubuntu, the one thing that really convinced my friend that it was alright was the ability to re-order windows on the taskbar [00:52] w30, yhes geforce 2 here [00:53] w30, the intel i was getting 80-100 [00:53] ror: best not tell him windows 7 finally has that feature as well [00:53] and the ephiphany browser was not even usable [00:53] what do they do different scrolling wise? [00:53] heh [00:53] hello [00:54] yeah after so many years [00:54] lol, well in the words of microsoft "time for a new pc" [00:54] ridiculous how that is supposed to somehow be a positive message [00:54] going from 24 bit color to 16 will there be a difference? [00:54] Gratz474: I don't know I only have a nvidia geforce 6800, it is kind of old [00:54] trism, yes, this is just super temporary [00:54] yeah thats what I can see too [00:55] I have a nvidia 6600gt, works well, what's the issue here? === eddie is now known as Guest28036 [00:55] ror: Gratz474 is having scrolling problems in firefox [00:55] hey what yall guys know about the new USB 3.0 === Guest28036 is now known as valeoelite777 [00:56] have you tried disabling smooth scrolling? [00:56] about:config then general.smoothscroll [00:56] turning that off helps a lot if you're finding scrolling slow [00:57] personally I hate "smooth" scrolling anywya [00:57] valeo here what good [00:57] ror, its something to do with how the nvidia driver does scrolling [00:58] my logitech go smooth scrolling if that what you mean [00:58] my 8500GT works fine too [00:58] ror, holy crap, disabling that worked for me, I NEVER KNEW! [00:59] I just came across a .jp2 picture file. and my installation of ubuntu does not support it. Is there any support for .jp2 (jpeg 2000 files)??? [00:59] Need advice: I'm trying to use gpart to copy my partitions to a new hard-drive. Currently trying to move an NTFS partition, and I can't tell if it is locked up or actively copying. Should there be a progress bar? [00:59] but strangely i had that problem that i dont understand, like my os lost all graphics config [01:00] i still dont qutie understand this === jeremy is now known as Guest97428 [01:00] is going from 24 bit color to 16 going to change anything? [01:00] Gratz474: I doubt it [01:01] Gratz474, again, as far as FF is concerned, highly doubtful. [01:01] trism, i have experienced a performance improvement from going from 32 to 16 before [01:01] Anyone up for a gparted question? Anybody used it recently? [01:01] Gratz474: give it a shot then, I haven't noticed any difference, unless of course it was through vnc or something, cause then smaller images to send over the network [01:03] hey guys any ideas: is there any program in ubuntu for changing a image from jpg or any other kind of image and can convert them to bmp? [01:03] trev_js: don't remember if it has a progress bar, is your disk light on? [01:03] and also to be able to do this [01:03] metal.bmp bits per pixel is not 24: 8 [01:03] hey chila, have you tried GIMP? [01:03] if so, it is probably actively copying. [01:03] no [01:03] is that good trev_js? [01:03] trism, i mean will i see a visual difference though with the quality of my desktop? [01:03] yeah, there is a progress bar, but it just bounces back and forth [01:04] cuz i dont understand this error in my c program [01:04] metal.bmp bits per pixel is not 24: 8 [01:04] so can i do that in GIMP? [01:04] Chila: Gimp handles a lot of differant filetypes === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [01:04] Gratz474: probably not, there are differences, but they really aren't noticable most of the time [01:04] cool === Randy is now known as Guest43516 [01:04] and you say i can convert the filetype that i want right? [01:04] from jpg to bmp or whatever? [01:05] what does sync to blank mean and allow flipping mean? [01:05] Chila: You can open it up and save it in the format you want [01:05] trism, do you have any idea on that ? [01:05] ok cool [01:05] i will try it [01:05] thanks trev_js [01:05] np === adam is now known as rabies [01:05] pavucontrol wont open, it just gives an error message [01:06] ERROR:pavucontrol.cc:574:void StreamWidget::setVolume(const pa_cvolume&, bool): assertion failed: (v.channels == channelMap.channels) [01:06] Aborted [01:06] i mean i just installed ubuntu =( [01:07] looks like you have to do some programming rabies [01:07] bite me Chilaquiles [01:07] Back to my gparted issue, trying to copy an ntfs partition, and I think GParted is stuck. The hard disk light is off now actually [01:07] what? [01:08] if you want to help, help Chilaquiles, if not, keep your smart ass remarks to yourself === Guest43516 is now known as randy_c_ [01:08] sure rabies [01:08] Gratz474: the allow flipping is to allow opengl to page flip if possible [01:09] not a lot of people on the chat lines [01:09] lol [01:09] trism, let me do a restart [01:10] Gratz474: and sync to vblank means that opengl applications will swap buffers during the vertical retrace [01:12] how do I view a .jp2(jpeg-2000) pic? [01:13] there is any way you can set a dial up access to your home desktop and that this one share your home internet connection through ssh [01:15] I need to get something from tape (cassette -- they were out before CDs in case nobody in here remembers them) to MP3. What's the best course of action, after I have the tape deck plugged into the computer? I have gnome-sound-recorder running and can capture. To what format though, and then what's the best tool to convert to mp3 with? [01:15] detrix, if your normal image viewer doesn't support it (and it should?) then you could try converting it with image magick === Mike is now known as MK13 [01:16] anyone here that could help me get frostwire working? [01:16] where does the new tomboy in karmic save the *.note files... i'm trying to restore what i have saved in ubuntu one and it's a no go... [01:17] gnuisancev4: might have better luck asking in #ubuntu+1 [01:17] gnuisancev4: ~/.tomboy/ is where its always been. dont think its changed [01:18] thanks trism, but this is specific the new tomboy in karmic... even if i open the app and create a note, there's no ~/.tomboy directory. There's a ~/.config/Tomboy/ directory but there's no *.note files in it from my test notes [01:19] I have a ssh server and i only want it to be accessible from lan, is it enough to set ListenAddress in sshd_config to the (ssh hosting) computers ip? [01:19] Should be from lan only [01:19] in an encrypted home folder: is it safe to give out my mount password assuming they will not retrieve my login password? [01:19] we32 -- no [01:20] gnuisancev4: what could one do with just my mount passphrase? the mount passphrase needs the login passphrase to be of any use, does it not? [01:20] i've been reading up on ecryptfs but I seem to be getting contradictory information on this specific issue [01:20] the whole point of encryption is so that if someone has physical access to the box they can't get to the data, even if they rebooted with a livecd [01:20] any of you guys know how to tweak the xorg? [01:21] how can i get it to start x server with 16 bit color? [01:21] Quick Q: I'm currently using Intrepid and want to update to the Karmic RC. Do I have to install Jaunty first? [01:21] MK13, what's the matter with it? [01:21] jaquer: yes [01:21] jaquer: Yes, but I *highly* recommend you install it from scratch. [01:21] gnuisancev4: with all due respect, what does that have to do with my question? [01:21] jaquer: The update currently has an issue with the bootloader, which won't allow that specific part to be updated. [01:21] jaquer: considering the changes made in Karmic, I second MenZa's suggestion (new GRUB and ext4) [01:21] MK13, I set up frostwire for the first time a couple months ago in hardy and jaunty; not a hitch [01:22] Sounds good. Thanks all. [01:22] Np :) [01:22] wes32, what's up with ext4? What's new? [01:23] Hey guys, I have a quick question needing advice. I have this really slow computer, and a really fast one. The slow one is miserable to use, but could I remote desktop (viewing) into a virtual ubuntu on the fast comuter, and would that be faster? [01:23] craigbass1976: it's like ext3, but slightly better in most regards :) [01:23] craigbass1976, it just gives an error when trying to start, http://pastebin.com/d568a604d [01:23] #ubuntu [01:23] wes32: the mount passphrase can be used with a live cd, as long as someone has the mount passphrase, bypassing the OS and mounting it and retrieving the data isn't hard to do. you asked if it was save, i said no and that's why [01:23] craigbass1976: the one thing i'm noticing is a minor speed increase, but that might be mentally [01:23] craigbass1976: i do notice the message about a corrupt frostwire.jar [01:23] MK13, how did you install java? [01:24] hey:D [01:24] gnuisancev4: ah I see. so my thinking of needing the login passphrase to decrypt the mount passphrase is rather bogus, then? because that's what many ubuntu-related websites are suggesting [01:24] Samba Error: Unknown enumerated value ads for security [01:24] MK13, oh, and you're running 64 bit? I've no experience wiht that [01:24] craigbass1976: yea, i am on 64 bit [01:24] jtmcgee: I don't know about the virtual ubuntu part, but otherwise that's what I'm doing...vnc and ssh on the laptop to a faster desktop, works fine [01:25] can some one help me with a samba error? [01:25] trism: cool, but if like even clicking a button, and a menu popping up takes a long time, would that also make the virt. server just as slow to use? [01:26] jtmcgee: not with vnc, since vnc just sends pictures of the desktop back [01:26] Why do I have green checkmarks everywhere with 9.10? [01:26] craigbass1976: it isn't supposed to have a problem with 64bit, and i installed jre via : sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre [01:26] Okay... would VNC be the fastest option though? It was pretty slow when I used it for windows to windows. [01:27] I had a question about Fluxbox.. is it as easy to remove it as removing xcfe? Or will it leavve a bunch of files behind? [01:27] Hi! [01:27] :) [01:27] I want to create a shortcut, as is how? [01:27] jtmcgee: I can't really imagine much faster. there's freenx which is a faster remote x session, but I would think that would be slower [01:28] My java was installed via the file on sun's site. I can talk you through that, but it might not be the problem in the first place [01:28] okay, what about the built in Remote Desktop Viewer? [01:28] !java64 | MK13 try this [01:28] MK13 try this: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [01:28] I have seen Ubuntu netbook remix and want to try it but I don't have a netbook. Can I still run it on my desktop? [01:28] I want to create a shortcut, as is how? [01:28] idleone, thanks but not realated to my question [01:28] jtmcgee: I use Gnome Remote Desktop for the server (System/Preferences/Remote Desktop) and xvnc4viewer on the laptop (it is a pretty fast vnc viewer for x) [01:29] trism: okay thanks, i am expierimenting with it now [01:29] ntsasng: Right Click Make Link === MenZa_ is now known as MenZa [01:31] I need to get something from tape (cassette) to MP3. What's the best course of action, after I have the tape deck plugged into the computer? I have gnome-sound-recorder running and can capture. To what format though, and then what's the best tool to convert to mp3 with? [01:32] gOLDfeesh: should be easy enough to remove with sudo apt-get purge fluxbox, and the user configs should all be stored in ~/.fluxbox [01:32] whats a good way to completely wipe my ubuntu [01:32] trism, alright thanks a lot. I know when you install xubuntu and what not (xcfe) it leavevs a bunch of libs and stuff behind. [01:33] ae86-drifter, delete the partition [01:33] rm -rf / [01:33] ae86-drifter: please don't do that [01:33] ok [01:33] but i wanna keep my home folder [01:33] lol dont do that [01:33] gOLDfeesh: there are relatively few dependencies for fluxbox, and you should be able to remove those after you uninstall fluxbox with sudo apt-get autoremove === YBH_1 is now known as ybh2 [01:34] my home folder is mounted in partition / [01:34] !home [01:34] Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [01:34] i dont have a home partition [01:34] i know what a home folder is [01:34] lol [01:34] keep reading [01:35] i know how to move it to a separate partition [01:35] i dont think i explained myself enough [01:35] so what is your question [01:36] i need to keep the conents of /home but sesize the partition so i can create a new / partition [01:36] chmod +t /dir , removes delete permissions from files ? [01:36] use gparted [01:36] will i lose my data by resizing??? [01:36] ae86-drifter: the idea is no, but it is always best to backup before you attempt it [01:36] backing up is always a safe idea [01:37] ok I may have deleted my /dev folder. Where can I restore it from? I've got an ubuntu CD laying around. [01:37] lol [01:38] do I finally understand it right by saying only the mount passphrase is needed to decrypt the data in ecryptfs, but the login passphrase is needed to decrypt the file the mount passphrase is stored in? [01:38] ur screwed [01:38] wes32: yep, believe so [01:38] ae86-drifter, thanks for the help but there's got to be some way. [01:38] I knew i'd get there eventually. ;) ty [01:38] how do I remove a file owned by root is a java folder [01:39] omeddragon: sudo [01:39] omeddragon: either "sudo rm" it or run "gksudo nautilus" and do it graphically [01:39] reinstall [01:39] I'm trying to get a bluetooth headset working for Skype... I can get the headset to pair but that's about it. [01:40] i think typing "sudo rm -rf /" will fix most problem in ubuntu? [01:40] !danger [01:40] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [01:40] then type your root pw [01:41] should i not? [01:41] i was told its good [01:41] ae86-drifter, wow, you are one of the most unhelpful people I've ever seen in this room [01:41] ae86-drifter: stop being an asshat, will you? [01:41] ae86-drifter: not being very helpful are you. troll [01:41] it optimizes [01:41] I am looking for some Samba/Active Directory information. [01:41] * xTheGoat121x rolls eyes [01:42] I have kerberos working I just can't get the samba working with it. [01:42] can windows scr screen savers be used on linux? [01:43] sudo net ads join fails [01:43] Samba Error: Unknown enumerated value ads for security [01:43] Is there an app that i need to install so I can make themes for ubuntu? [01:43] ok, here's a question. If I'm reinstalling ubuntu and I've got a seperate / partition, do I need to install it any differently? [01:44] What firefox video player plugins are available other than "mozilla-mplayer"???? [01:44] magical: specify which partition is / .. and which is /home .. you'll be doing a manual partition option in the installer [01:45] apt-cache search plugin|grep mozilla [01:45] can i hibernate and boot into a new kernel? [01:45] gOLDfeesh: themes are usually just a collection of config files and images, so you really should just need a text editor and gimp for most of them, check out http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials [01:45] if i hibernate since there's been a kernel upgrade, i think ubuntu tries and fails [01:46] gOLDfeesh: might try downloading a couple themes and playing with the configs to see what happens [01:46] bastidrazor, thanks, that's what I thought [01:47] Hi all, How can enable automatic logon from the command prompt? [01:47] magikid: if you have more than one drive be sure to know which partition / is on for the gurb set up and the last stage of installing [01:47] magikid: grub [01:48] If I install Karmic RC... will there be an option to upgrade the full version once it's released? [01:48] ² [01:48] does anyone know how to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-farsight in jaunty? [01:48] ± [01:49] xTheGoat121x: no option is needed. just stay updated, and you'll be on the final version without even knowing. [01:49] jmcantrell, apt-get? [01:49] bastidrazor, thanks. I think I've figured it out. I still have access to links so I looked it up [01:49] xTheGoat121x: unless of course karmic breaks in the meanwhile, which can always happens! [01:49] or aptitude.. === alele__ is now known as ale|fora [01:49] gOLDfeesh: it complains that it's trying to overwrite a file that's in gstreamer0.10-plugins-good [01:49] how is karmic? is it pretty usable at this point? [01:50] magikid: good luck [01:50] !karmic [01:50] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic is BETA and MAY break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [01:50] bastidrazor, thanks a bunch [01:50] LjL, thanks, I appreciate it. I was considering installing the RC but seeing as it's mid-semester...

My ubuntu (9.04) screen goes black after the startup load screen. Does anyone know what it might be? [01:55] I tried using earlier kernel versions and the recovery mode, but I get the same black screen (with some strange color patterns in the upper part of the screen). [01:56] Forgot to mention this is hardy [01:58] Q: Right clicking a USB device (thumb drive) > "Unmount volume" --- this is equivalent to Windoz's "Eject", right ?

[02:01] linxeh, right , that's how it is done in Win [02:01] i mean Kuifje111 [02:02] ok [02:02] Kuifje111: i don't know how to do that [02:02] Kuifje111: i tried pressing Ctrl-Alt-F keys, on the black screen, but that didn't help [02:03] smee: what did you get with ctrl+alt+backspace? [02:03] smee: you should edit the GRUB boot record. [02:03] Kuifje111: i got nothing [02:04] Hi all, my network connection on my other laptop running Hardy suddenly stopped working.

I literally did not change anything and updates are not automatic. Please help./etc/network/interfaces : http://pastebin.com/m217def24 [02:04] Kuifje111: i don't know what a GRUB boot record is or how to edit it.:-( [02:04] GRUB is where you press enter to boot ubuntu [02:05] where can i access it? [02:05] you should press "e" if I remember correctly there. [02:05] smee: /boot/menu.lst? :f [02:05] when you boot your PC there comes a screen [02:05] /boot/grub/menu.lst* [02:06] you should press "e" there [02:06] then edit one of those lines [02:06] ok..now what?

[02:06] Doonz: no dns [02:06] Doonz: dns prob [02:06] Doonz: means the DNS is malfuctioning [02:06] DaZ: actually i have hardy on another partition that i can log into and access the jaunty files [02:07] smee: you could as well mount the HDD from there then. [02:07] to edit files. [02:07] Doonz, sounds like a DNS problem [02:07] OK, question 2. How can i remote desktop into a server located miles away but when i log onto the desktop the network icon says no active connection [02:07] smee: doing what Kuifje111 said is faster [02:08] take of care of the fact that it wont boot a desktop manager or/and login manager [02:08] -of* [02:08] Kuifje111: does it matter what line i edit? [02:08] smee: kernel line [02:08] yeah, I guess you should do the second one [02:08] ok === ale|fora is now known as alele [02:09] ubuntu keeps you knowledgeless. [02:09] about the basic stuff. [02:09] Kuifje111: I disagree :P [02:10] well, except if you choose the server version. [02:10] * DaZ agrees [02:10] so nobody === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [02:11] anyone got anything?

[02:15] Doonz: DNS error for first q [02:15] smee: with this rate it's going to take to 10AM (3:15 AM now, my time). [02:15] gui didn't work [02:16] LiteHedded: yes, unless you set it up in /etc/network/interfaces [02:16] iao, buon giorno atutti [02:16] Doonz: second question, maybe network manager isn't managing the interface? [02:16] smee: there's probably something wrong with your ati/nvidia drivers or/and desktop manager. [02:16] Kuifje111: sorry, it's empty too. i'm trying it again. [02:16] where can i find the african safari ubuntu wallpaper? [02:16] how do i find out what serial port my scanner is using? [02:17] "/etc/inittab" is not very likely to be empty.

[02:48] Billiard: I've played a bit with xrandr according to manuals online... but there're two caveats: 1) for some reason it only wants 856x480 resolution, not 852.... the other is that the "viewable" part of the screen is shifted right and up... and not sure how to tell xrandr to offset it [02:48] trism, pastebin for you [02:48] my ubuntu all video player crashes when i open it with in 2 seconds i have updated all drivers Pls help [02:49] ageeb: it seems to work with regular 800x600 and stuff, but it's "wide".. basically it seems to display 4:3 in 16:9 aspect...

[03:04] t used to be that arestart would fix this, but it seems not to be th case this time [03:04] Gratz474, you'd do something similar : grep -i exa /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:04] doc-saintly: have you tried updating your flash ?

[03:04] Gratz474, Ithink I spoke to soon, a sec [03:05] bolek [03:05] Billiard : I am in root but when I try ls root it says permission denied [03:05] K_Dallas: First of all, '/join #ubuntu+1' secondly http://www.gnome-look.org/ Not sure if anyone has updated it for 9.10 yet though [03:05] With the USB install mode that's now avaliable from the live CD, you will create a USB installation that retains changes made purely in memory until system shutdown, then writing them to disk to minimize device wear, correct? [03:05] Tyler09: Have you tried accessing the camera with any other software, like Ekiga? just to see if it works? [03:05] Gratz474, you'd use the second one, try uxa if that's what you think is running. man exa says it's a module, and module loading is reported in the Xorg.0.log [03:05] Ch3mtail: i've never had any luck with it retaining files [03:05] m0r0n, you right but my problem is not really 9.10. It is more general than that [03:05] doc-saintly: Hmm I'm not sure, I'm new to ubuntu but I've got a pretty good grasp of the majority of things. So your saying when you play flash movies like say youtube you have video but no sound? [03:05] bobino: please read my last message again more closely [03:06] eniacpx: Is that standard on Jaunty? [03:06] Tyler09: yep [03:06] Gratz474, and I have no idea what intel would be running, sory [03:06] K_Dallas: Try that site, there are some good icon sets and whatnot to do what you want [03:06] anyone else here know what intel uses?

You have one internet connection, how do you guarantee that you either hit one proxy or the other? I mean, do you setup a load balancer infront of the two? And how can you guarantee that when one downs, that the other is the only one that's hit? [03:09] Tyler09: Ah, V4L2... Video4Linux. Hold on a sec. [03:09] Jimmio: you have your private key?

[03:46] span12, well, that sounds like the message you get when you try to run the nvidia configuration utility, and it's the message it gives when you aren't actually running the nvidia driver [03:46] i went to system>adminstration-hardware drivers from the menu [03:46] so what do i do now? [03:46] test34: every other .04 - ie, 8.04 and 10.04. [03:46] span12, what are you trying to do?

[03:48] tonyyarusso: i'll try, thanx [03:48] span12, 'enable my desktop' doesn't mean much to me, are you trying to do something specific like enable certain desktop effects, change the resolution of your display....? [03:49] yes enable desktop effects [03:49] like rotate cube etc [03:50] I've installed Ubuntu in one partition on my laptop and then installed win7 in another partition. How do I get grub(2) to be the bootloader again so I can choose which OS to run? [03:51] span12, the only way you can enable certain effects is if you have proper 3d acceleration for your video card, so if you aren't able to simply select the 'extra' visual affects from system -> preferences -> appearance, then you probably need the correct driver installed [03:51] !grub | jammin1 [03:51] jammin1: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[04:36] cwillu_clone: ok. well i don't have one of those, and i don't think i'm going to fork out the cash for one, but i'm curious. how hard was it to setup? [04:37] I have a black screen for my desktop background. Anyone know how to fix it? [04:37] secret901: set the background?

[04:39] cwillu_clone: i think that's what the OLPC folks use [04:39] johntron, or in some cases you could use something like user-mode linux as a pseudo virtualization [04:39] cwillu_clone: hmm [04:40] cwillu_clone: ok, thanks a lot!

[04:43] Hi, I've a question regarding dual booting with windows XP. My XP installation is on primary drive as well as Grub, the problem is that when I try to boot windows the loader hangs and I've to reboot. I've tried using SuperGrub, but this restores windows loader and erase grub. Does anyone have any idea on what to do? [04:43] Haven't tried a different network. 1 out of 4 cards worked but that went to a customer. [04:44] cwillu_clone: yeah, the ufw is just a wrapper for iptables. ufw doesn't do anything as far as load balancing. it can be done in iptables, but it's really really gross [04:44] I installed citrix xenapp 11 and all the req'd libraries etc. program works, except the option to save a new connection is grayed out. not sure if i installed wrong or what (i installed before getting the reqd library) [04:44] I don't have the resources to try the box on another network.

[04:46] kiqyou_vf: drive letters are only in windows [04:46] cristian: If not, and windows is not on the first partition, you may need to use th map command in grub to trick it into thinking that it is on the first partition [04:46] Billiard: i'm trying to decipher this: '# zcat eeepc_usb-v0.9.img.gz > /dev/sdX' [04:46] Cant without a network connection [04:47] Otherwise id be doing it over loopback [04:47] i use dual boot. windows xp and ubuntu. can i use widows xp's net connection in ubuntu?

[05:09] It appears to be so. It's directly connected to the modem [05:09] What's the deal with gnome? With the last update my window paint really slowly! :0 [05:10] Owners: i havent seen that option [05:10] Kermit: perhaps in the power management settings [05:10] <__Techie__> tang [05:11] i dont have a gui for compiz because i have a onboard vidcard how can i turn off the redirect on fullscreen from the terminal? [05:11] hi [05:11] kermit: install cpufrequtils and then cpufreq-info .. what does it tell you? [05:11] Owners, it could be the modem remembers the MAC of the previous card and won't lease another IP address thinking you're trying to connect two systems at the same time, or the cable could be bad. [05:11] bmwerks, having onboard video doesn't mean you shouldn't have a gui [05:12] Howdy all, anybody have time for a newbie's question? [05:12] ben, please ask the channel === ben is now known as Guest58951 [05:13] I've tried restarting the modem and it does on occassion have issues on an xp box but resolves itself [05:13] I am running off a live cd trying to upload a bunch of files to a online file system so I don't loose them but I got a question if I needed a flash player, where does it install to when I'm in live cd? the ram? or what? [05:13] Whereas the ubuntu box never connects [05:13] Owners, you could capture the dhcp request and response with wireshark to see what is happening (if you can get access some other way). [05:13] ShapeShifter499, it won't replace anything in your existing installation it will be wiped when you reboot [05:14] I've seen issues on the other box maybe 1 out of 30 starts [05:14] I'm trying to increase my swap partition's size because my system is running choppily, but don't have a clue where to start. Anybody know what I need to do? === Guest58951 is now known as KentukyNitemare [05:14] <^mNotIntelligent> hi all [05:14] <^mNotIntelligent> I'm trying to add a start up script this way: [05:14] bastid_raZor: a lot, what am i looking for? [05:14] ajhtiredwolf: I know I but before I restart where do the files of the flash player go? [05:14] If anybody could pm me that'd help a lot. I have a hard time keeping up with the jumble. [05:15] <^mNotIntelligent> I added a .bash_login in ~/ and then add "source ~/.bash_login" in ~/.bashrc === auk is now known as auk0 [05:15] ajhtiredwolf: the ram? [05:15] I could get the packages on the xp box but switching back and forth has been diving me nuts [05:15] kermit: governor.. what is it set to? [05:16] <^mNotIntelligent> and in bash_login this is giving me errors: sleep(5) conky& , this error message: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `(' [05:16] ShapeShifter499, no I don't think so, but im not really sure [05:16] Owners, so this card works in XP? [05:16] No thats onboard [05:16] bastid_raZor: performance [05:17] Owners, so there's two NICs [05:17] Onboard on a win7 box didn't work either. Out of 3 machines and 5 cards only 2 work [05:17] kermit: can you pastebin the output? [05:17] anyone know what happens when you install something before a restart of a live cd system, where do the installed files go? [05:18] the ram for temp. or what? [05:18] bastid_raZor: http://pastebin.com/m674339ea [05:18] hi there, how can I switch my bluetooth state using # hid2hci -r hci -v 1d6b -p 0002 -m dell? [05:18] I have tried 4 nics in the nix box. Only one works. I have a xp box with onboard which works. And I built a win7 box in which 1 of 3 nics worked and the onboard didn't. [05:19] I get this error: Attempting to switch device 1d6b:0002 to HCI mode failed (Broken pipe) [05:19] So two seperate mac addresses have worked without issue. [05:19] Nevermind guys, problem resolved. [05:19] ShapeShifter499: ram [05:20] This one just constantly tells me it is disconnected after trying to connect [05:20] ShapeShifter499 [05:20] opps [05:20] kermit: how are you determining that it is stuck at the lowest speed? [05:20] ShapeShifter499, it loads into the memmory, i just googled it [05:20] Wired network - you are now disconnected [05:20] tnx [05:20] all I needed to knwo [05:21] *know [05:21] bastid_raZor: a dock applet thing and also benchmarks [05:21] bye [05:21] g2g [05:21] bastid_raZor: the dock applet says 800MHz [05:21] bye [05:21] hello there everyon [05:22] Hi [05:22] need help on grub having windows 7 and ubuntu installed...... anyone plz? [05:22] bastid_raZor: it always happens when it loaded... i think its some thermal throttling, except once it throttles it never unthrottles [05:22] engineer_, you need to be more specific [05:22] help guys how do i reset my login password and administrative password on ubuntu. i tried user groups but it sais too short even tho i know when u do a fresh install it should let u do short passwords anyway. [05:22] ok [05:22] engineer_, dual booting win7 and jaunty or karmic [05:23] i have installed windows 7 and ubuntu, and grub shows both in its menu., but still windows7 doesnt load [05:23] engineer_, what happens when you try and boot windows 7?

Please make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version." [05:23] danni__: what do you mean you tried "user groups" the passwd command allows you to change users passwords [05:23] on pressing enter on windows 7 option system simply restarts with nothing [05:24] no error messges is displayed [05:24] billiard can you tell me how to use it [05:24] engineer_, give me a pastebin of fdisk -l and your /etc/fstab [05:24] ok .

[05:30] danni__: did you try the shorter password, it might just be a warning [05:30] danni__, there is a very good reason why it won't let you use a short password [05:30] http://pastebin.ca/1639372 [05:31] here is the fdisk -l [05:31] ajhtiredwolf, u there [05:31] ?

[05:36] can i that cam in pidgin? [05:37] boysen: if you really want the original Y! you will need to install wine first and make sure you have all the dll dependencies etc [05:37] ajhtiredwolf u checkd the pastebin?

Show 1.3G free, but only several hundred Mb available. Disk Usage Analyzer only shows 7.7G on the filesystem. So what is eating up my other 14G? Have tried all conventional cleanup strategies (deborphan, apt-get clean/autoclean, etc.) [05:38] Anybody have trouble with gnome after the latest update? Come on, 1331 people on here, at least one other person has got to have the problem. :) [05:38] ubuntu_giant: must be a user error [05:38] ajhtiredwolf , its 4.5 gb [05:39] jstrake: Can you pastebin the output of "df -h" ? [05:39] ubuntu_giant, which version of ubuntu [05:39] Ubuntu 9.04. [05:39] engineer_, you only partitioned 4.5 gigs for windows 7? [05:39] boysen: Try gyachi [05:39] what name is the mic listed on volume control? cant seem to find it in preference [05:39] Basically, the window repaints really slowly. [05:39] Compiz doesn't work. [05:39] no no. i have reserved 100gb for it [05:39] 4.5 is space it took [05:39] It used to work beautifully.

[05:39] ubuntu_giant, sounds like a video driver issue; which card and driver are you using [05:39] ubuntu_giant, have you got gfx drivers [05:40] sorry, and thanks. [05:40] I'm using ATI Radeon. [05:40] ajhtiredwolf , also there is 100mb another drive , possble contanining boot files for windows7. [05:40] ae86-drifter: Yes. I installed the drivers from the ATI site. [05:40] the past few updates i did it says it wants todo a partial upgrade , does this mean i messed somethin up [05:40] ajhtiredwolf i have allocated 100gb for windows7 [05:40] just a quick question if i create the file 'robots.txt' and enter in on two separate lines enter in the text 'User-agent: *' and 'Disallow: /' should that keep all bots and crawlers that chose to obey my request out of my site? [05:40] u got any point? [05:40] engineer_, are you on a differnet machine? [05:41] engineer_, when you are in grub, does it refer to the 100MB portion as windows bootloader and see nothing else? [05:41] ubuntu_giant, goto system>admin>hardware drivers and tell me what it says [05:41] jstrake: If you have vista on the other partition, it might be using that 14G as a backup drive. [05:41] jph_-> that is not an ubuntu issue, perhaps you can ask people in #apache ? [05:41] does robots.txt work on spam bots [05:41] ajhtiredwolf, no i am on same machine. [05:42] ae86-drifter: I don't have "system > administrator > hardware drivers" What's the executable? [05:42] bazhang, it shows windows in boot loader, doesnt say anything about 100mb [05:42] engineer_, do this sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst menu.lst.old [05:42] ae86-drifter: Ah, sorry, overlooked. :P [05:42] jockey-gtk [05:42] Oh! It's not activated! :P [05:43] ajhtiredwolf, let me try. [05:43] ubuntu_giant, theres your problem [05:43] engineer_, couple of questions: which was installed first, what version of ubuntu and are they fresh installs respectively or upgrades from prior versions [05:43] Sorry about that ae86-drifter. I just hate it if the problem is staring at me right in the face. :( [05:43] lol [05:43] bazhang, you can tell by the pastebins that windows 7 was installed first [05:43] but i have checked all this, even reintalled windwos 7 two times, it works, but when reinstalled grub ,windows 7 doesnt load, however appears in grub [05:44] windows 7 boots fine for me [05:44] ubuntu_giant: nope, XP. [05:44] in a vm [05:44] Jordan_U: what do you think? [05:44] in order todo the partial upgrade it wants to remove konquer [05:44] bazhang, windows7 installed first, ubuntu is 9.04, and they all are fresh installs, [05:44] How can I switch from Compiz to metacity? is it something I can do on the fly as a workaround for a bug? [05:45] daevski, alt f2 metacity --replace [05:45] engineer_, hang on one moment [05:45] jstrake: Possibly backups like I said, but you might have also partitioned your disk incorrectly. [05:45] For some reason, on Jaunty the notify-send command is only showing messages that are set to --urgency=critical. Is there something wrong? [05:45] daevski: install compiz-fusion-icon and switch it through that [05:45] bazhang: thanks! and then compiz --replace to get back? [05:45] i am really sad for all this, however my core2duo system had ubuntu and windows vista, working perfectly, but now on core2duad i am unable to have both :( [05:45] daevski, or listen to magikid [05:45] What are possible partition mistakes? [05:45] magikid: also a good suggestion, thanks you! [05:46] i really appreciate your consideration and help. [05:46] engineer_: What is the problem? [05:46] engineer_, its not because of the processor, just one sec [05:46] jordan_u, the problem is that windows7 appears in grub but doesnt loads [05:46] bazhang, magiki: Thank you both for input :) [05:46] system restarts [05:46] engineer_, are you able to get on another machine via irc? [05:46] ubuntu_giant: does XP backup into restricted partitions as well? [05:47] yes [05:47] engineer_: Do you get an error when you try to load it? [05:47] hen installing ubuntu, it asks for a mount point, what do i select? options are /dos /windows [05:47] engineer_, i mean get on irc via another machine* [05:47] when* [05:47] ajhtiredwolf, i dont know. but i am using irc from ubuntu, [05:47] engineer_, you are going to need to reboot [05:47] oh ok.

[05:52] engineer_, you did (hd0,1) ? [05:52] ajhtiredwolf, yes i did [05:53] accid: what is the question it is asking you, it doesnt only say "beginning or end" [05:53] Hello!

[05:53] i had to do a re-install of ubuntu 9.04 earlier and now when i am listening to online streaming audio my volume is not as loud as it used to be---could this be because i need different mpeg 1/2 codecs === SnakDoc_ is now known as SnakDoc [05:53] To restate my initial query with updated info: I'm having a hard disk space issue.

[05:57] engineer_, are windows 7 and ubuntu install on different hard drives? [05:58] ajhtiredwolf, no . on one same hardisk [05:58] tell me what to change in bios, i am used to it [05:59] n8tuser: any thoughts? [05:59] engineer_, never mind that if its all on one hard drive [05:59] jstrake on what? [06:00] engineer_, if windows 7 was installed first it SHOULD be on hd0,0 and according to your fdisk sda1 SHOULD be the correct device [06:00] on my query about my missing hard drive space. [06:00] ajhtiredwolf, yes thats right, and i know this, [06:00] the problem comes after this [06:00] all is correct, still its not booting [06:00] I downloaded ubuntu and installed it but it didnt install drivers for my gforce 210 (nvidia) can anyone point me in the right direction? [06:00] engineer_, so lets see here, lets narrow the problem down, did you just install both? [06:00] yes, [06:01] after installing windows 7, it worked until you installed ubuntu correct? [06:01] yes [06:01] perfect [06:01] seetherM, is there anything in hardware drivers (system administration hardware drivers) [06:01] do you have any other windows versions?

[06:02] No [06:02] bazhang [06:02] well, i havent got it at the moment, however its funny that i checked it with windows vista, two days before and SAME PROBLEM [06:02] engineer_, yeah the way they boot, win7 and vista is similar [06:02] means vista and windows7 same issue [06:03] so it means that its some problem with windows7 boot loader? [06:03] engineer_, no i don't think so, hang on, let me think [06:03] engineer_, I had a similar issue, ended up using gparted to partition beforehand (gparted livecd) and the problem went away [06:03] or grub itsnt able to find the windows7 loader? [06:03] engineer_, no grub found it correctly [06:04] engineer_, heres a thought [06:04] bazhang, i have installed gparted, so what to do with that? [06:04] engineer_, when you installed ubuntu, how did you tell it to install, did you tell it to install side by side? [06:04] its just for partiioning [06:04] Where can I get help with the Ubuntu OpenLDAP tutorial? [06:04] ubottu: what does "!tab" mean (sorry, pseudo noob). [06:04] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:04] Bazhang, do you know what i should do? [06:04] engineer_, gparted livecd was what I used [06:04] ajhtiredwolf, first time i tell to install in free space, thats was created my me for ubuntu, [06:05] anyone know how i can connect to my Hp p1006 Printer, i tried the Hplip, as well as that fojlis thing and it still dosent work [06:05] seetherM, this is an older card? [06:05] engineer_, and the second time? [06:05] ajhtiredwolf, 2nd time after formating all, and installing windows7 and then ubuntu, i told to install them by manual [06:05] jstrake, type the first few letters of the person you wish to communicate with then hit the tab key to autocomplete their nickname, thus highlighting them [06:06] engineer_, here is what i would try. I would install iwndows 7, while installing windows 7 i would delete all partitions, then specify a partition for win7 [06:06] bazhang. kindly tell me how can be gparted usefull, tell me more [06:06] bazhang: thanks. Got it. [06:06] engineer_, then when i installed ubuntu I would specificy the swap and root partitions myself [06:06] no [06:06] its new [06:06] engineer_, that way you aren't telling ubuntu to touch any part of the win7 loader [06:06] the whole system is brand new [06:07] it came with vista but i deleted it and installed ubuntu [06:07] i'm good at using ubuntu just not good at setting up stuff... [06:07] jstrake: !tab means to type those 4 characters as the very first thing on the line to see ubottu's recorded message about the tab character. [06:07] same i did 2nd time, in manual telling, i created a swap for ubuntu and deleted partition and recreated for ubutnu [06:07] windows 7 loader is already in another drive, of 100mb [06:07] and its like that [06:08] engineer_, gparted live cd is a 100 mb download (iso) burn iso to cd, boot from it, then format the disk into ntfs and ext3 (jaunty) or ext4 karmic; reboot and replace disk with windows 7 installer disk; install to ntfs partition; repeat with ubuntu cd [06:08] engineer_, you created the swap and main partition from free space? [06:08] jstrake: I just looked at your df. You have 22G in use on /dev/sda5 [06:08] and strange is that i cant access the files of windows7 boot drive from ubuntu???? [06:08] bazhang, thanks [06:08] jstrake: do you want to find out where your space has gone? [06:09] losha: I know. But I can only actually find files for 7.7G and only a few hundred Mb now available. Do you know any whys? http://paste.ubuntu.com/299528/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/299532/ [06:09] bazhang, it sounds like that is what he has already done [06:09] losha: yes. [06:09] bazhang, ah well, he left [06:09] engineer_, I had the same exact issue (not being to access the drive) before fixing with gparted method [06:09] yes, i deleted the partitions that i had created for ubuntu, and then recreated them, reserving one drive for swap and other for ubuntu [06:09] does it specify any problem? === root is now known as Guest36714 [06:09] ajhtiredwolf, ah thanks [06:09] oh wait [06:09] rofl [06:09] never mind [06:10] wa! you talk about ubuntu linux [06:10] jstrake: ok, open a terminal, and type sudo -i [06:10] engineer_, give what bazhang said a try, if that doesn't work i can explain to you have to use the windows 7 boot loader to manage win7 and ubuntuu instead of grub [06:10] losha: okay. [06:10] jstrake: now do cd / [06:10] then what? [06:11] losha: okay. [06:11] jstrake: now do: du -x | sort -rn > /tmp/du.out [06:11] really, how will that be done, i means loading ubntu from windows7 loader? [06:11] seetherM, I'm not familiar with that card, its odd that there is nothing in hardware drivers for it [06:11] where is this????????????????/ [06:11] why the question all about linux and win7 [06:11] Guest36714, #ubuntu , support for Ubuntu OS [06:11] and also plz tell me how to fixndows7 boot loader? [06:11] jstrake: it will take a few minutes, as it scans the whole 23G partition [06:11] losha: okay, processing now. [06:11] Guest36714, random chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [06:12] i means how to fix windows7 boot loader? [06:12] without reinstalling windows7 [06:12] fix the mbr [06:12] fix the mbr [06:12] you can fix the win7 load [06:12] engineer_, first give what bazhang said a try [06:12] whos bein bad [06:12] ok [06:12] engineer_, yes you can load ubuntu through the win7 lodaer [06:12] hows that dones? [06:13] engineer_, basically when I used the method described above, Ubuntu saw the entire Windows 7 partition as the bootloader (of 117GB) [06:13] go google [06:13] engineer_, well idealy you will use grub so try this first [06:13] jstrake: when it completes, the file /tmp/du.out will contain a listing, largest first, of every file and directory on /dev/sda5 in order of size. Hopefully it will be obvious where the space is going from the listing [06:13] Guest36714, that is not helpful, please dont suggest it here [06:13] ryguy: and why are you tryin to hide lol [06:13] ok . i will try. [06:14] engineer_, http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Recovering+the+Vista+Bootloader+from+the+DVD [06:14] losha: okay. Thanks. I'll check the file and probably report back. Tried the disk usage analyzer GUI which supposedly does the same thing... but could only find 7.7G. [06:14] MK13, thanks [06:14] engineer_, I dont know if it still works the same way but in xp and 98 you just had to boot to recovery mdoe and type fixmbr and ntfsldr or something like that, i forget [06:15] have chinese in this room ???????????/ [06:15] jstrake: You aren't the first person to say that, I don't trust any of those gui progs. They seem to be really buggy. [06:15] Guest36714, #ubuntu-cn [06:15] me [06:15] engineer_, if you don't have the cd, then EasyBCD has the files too [06:15] use chinese [06:15] so does supergrub [06:15] ajhtiredwolf, yes fixmbr works for win98 and xp , i have tried it, but dont know for windows vista or 7 [06:15] Guaguasi[work] ÓÐÊÂÂð [06:15] Guest36714, not in this channel; /join #ubuntu-cn [06:15] newer ones support win7 [06:15] Atlantic, english only please [06:16] i am hearing more about windows 7 than ubuntu in here [06:16] ok [06:16] lol [06:16] Just wanted to say system is running very well with karmic on it :) [06:16] MK13, how to install boot loader from windows7 dvd? [06:16] jstrake: feel free to paste the top 10 lines of /tmp/du.out if you need help [06:16] get the precracked torrent with the boot loader [06:16] thats what i did [06:16] but i got rid of windows its ghey [06:16] dam they cracked it aruldy [06:17] yes it has been cracked for about two months now [06:17] losha: okay. pasted at http://paste.ubuntu.com/299544/ [06:17] ajhtiredwolf, and MK!3, and bazhang, thanks for all help, i hope i come with any solution [06:17] engineer_, the site should tell you [06:17] ae86-drifter, ugh, dont start a OS war [06:17] okies buddies [06:17] farewell to me. [06:18] but onething is for sure, the problems that comes to me, are mostly un solvable, :) [06:18] windows only deserves a vm not an actual partition [06:18] lol [06:18] ae86-drifter, piracy talk is not acceptable here, please desist [06:18] ae86-drifter, asking and answering questions would be awesome [06:18] ae86-drifter or a vm on a real paration [06:18] jstrake: ok, 16G in /var, of which 15G is /var/backup. 3G in /usr, can't do much about that. Next is /home/jonathan with about 2G. Then each individual file in /var/backup. Is any of this making any sense? [06:19] lol anything on your hd is actually on a REAL partition :P [06:19] except for mbr [06:20] losha: yes. Am I safe to delete the /var/backup files? And what is best practice for doing so? [06:20] ae86-drifter i used a vm a real partation and some tricks ro make a usb xp [06:22] oh really, i have backtrack 4 on a bootable usb drive [06:22] !ot | ae86-drifter gogeta [06:22] ae86-drifter gogeta: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:22] jstrake: well, it depends. What are they backups of? You probably don't want to delete them all. You might wanna keep, say, the two most recent. Do you even know what's creating them? [06:22] err yeah ubuntu.... [06:22] #list [06:22] !list [06:22] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [06:23] lol [06:23] losha: they are likely backups generated by SimpleBackup--an app I installed earlier and haven't thought of in a while. I will play with the settings for a minute and post the results. [06:24] ubuntu 10.04 is under development [06:24] jstrake: well, it's good to have backups. But they *do* take up disk space. No thanks to whatever gui told you you're only using 7G, btw... [06:24] losha: no doubt. Thanks for all the help! [06:25] set it to incremental backup [06:25] has anyone had the problem of compiz not supporting composite transparancy under LXDE? [06:25] jstrake: my pleasure. I really need to write this stuff up... [06:25] incremental backups will take up alot less space [06:25] losha: yep, and publish it and make some $$$ [06:26] jstrake: yeah, that's why I'm on #ubuntu. For the money. Half the time I can't even give advice away free.... [06:26] losha: one more thing: would you mind pastebinning the two commands you showed me for how to find what was eating my drive space? [06:27] jstrake: you mean: sudo -i; cd /; du -x | sort -rn > /tmp/du.out [06:27] losha yea so mutch money in linux wait thers the repo man dam [06:27] gogeta: :-) [06:27] losha: yep. those are they.

I've seen pictures of Ubuntu with transparent windows [06:32] bazhang: my russian isn't what it used to be, but I think he's trying to sell something...

[06:33] Hi folks. I am at wit's end with an ubuntu wireless problem on an HP Mini 110. It is Ubuntu 8.04, customized for HP. When we log in, the wireless light on the switch turns from blue to orange. Pulling on the toggle switch doesn't change it. [06:33] web5|org|ua: what on earth was *that*? [06:33] web5|org|ua: keyboard smashing? === Legion is now known as Artmoney [06:34] maco: yeah, only for russians ! [06:34] web5|org|ua: that wasnt russian [06:34] web5|org|ua: those werent even cyrillic characters [06:34] maco: some people talk on this language ! [06:35] web5|org|ua, utf8 and #ubuntu-ru for Russian [06:35] maco: oh, maybe problem with traslation ! [06:35] web5|org|ua: uh....i studied russian for a year. thats not russian... [06:35] Hello I'm trying to make my Ubuntu windows transparent, I have jaunty 9.04 and compiz, how can I do this? I've seen pictures of Ubuntu with transparent windows [06:35] vtec_, should be in the plugins section of ccsm [06:35] this channel is drived on UTF ? [06:36] web5|org|ua: aye...ubuntu defaults to utf8 [06:36] web5|org|ua, please remain on topic; you need utf8 for characters to be read [06:36] Could someone perhaps help me with a wireless problem in Ubuntu? [06:36] greg, which chipset on the card [06:36] Broadcom [06:36] is there an ubuntu help channel/ [06:37] broadcoms normaly work out of box [06:37] greg, does ifconfig see the card [06:37] this is markmq [06:37] your in it [06:37] bazhang: for english, doesn't matter. [06:37] markmq, this is it [06:37] It did work out of the box. But then after about a week, it stopped working. [06:37] greg, open a terminal and type ifconfig, do you see it there [06:37] greg go in bios turn back on its some strange happning in 9.04 [06:37] It says that wireless is disabled in (I think) iwconfig [06:37] This is in 8.04 [06:38] HP ships Mini 110-1000 with 8.04 [06:38] greg, is there a wireless shutoff switch on the machine [06:38] okay then quick question. when I launch ubuntu from disk it askes if I want to install hardware for my wireless card. now that I've installed it doesn't see it or give me any option like this [06:38] Yes there is one, it has a little LED light on it. [06:38] That light is blue until I log in, then it turns orange. [06:38] Which means that somehow logging in turns off the wireless. [06:39] I figured plugging it in via ethernet might trigger something [06:39] Whereas when it worked before, it stayed blue. [06:39] if I go to system -> hardware drivers. nothing is listed [06:39] why pos and size don't remember ? [06:39] where is .bashrc file in ubuntu 9.04? It's not in home dir. [06:39] greg turn it back on? [06:39] is there a way to make it prob or somethign to that effect? [06:40] It is a switch with a spring that slides back. I have slid it dozens of times and nothing happens. [06:40] Is there anyway I can see a current Gnome desktop session from another machine, like Windows' remote desktop? (Aside from VNC ... unless I can change resolution through VNC) [06:40] greg try sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [06:40] greg: still waiting to see your answer to bazhang's question.... [06:40] anyone? [06:40] Okay I will get that laptop and see. [06:41] wlan0 is whatever your card uses [06:41] ubuntu don't remember pos & size after closing apps !? Why ? [06:41] a brodcom shopuld be that [06:41] Hello. [06:41] this is 8.04 however [06:41] Hello I'm trying to make my Ubuntu windows transparent, I have jaunty 9.04 and compiz, how can I do this? I've seen pictures of Ubuntu with transparent windows [06:42] vtec_, do you have ccsm installed [06:42] where is .bashrc file in ubuntu 9.04? It's not in home dir. [06:42] Yes it is wlan0 [06:42] yes I do bazhang [06:42] I installed Jaunty on a Toshiba laptop and the left click does not work. It's not a hardware issue because I plugged ina mouse and it still didn't work. How do I fix this? [06:42] chetnick: home dir [06:42] yes it is in your home dir [06:42] vtec_, that is one of the plugins iirc you may wish to get expert advice in #compiz if no one here knows [06:43] Billiard: do you have it there? [06:43] ~/.bashrc [06:43] chetnick: yep [06:43] cause i dont have one. [06:43] Sorry, IBM, not Toshiba. [06:43] gedit ~/.bashtv [06:43] err [06:43] chetnick: it starts with a . its hidden [06:43] gedit ~/.bashrc [06:43] i know. its not there [06:43] chetnick: then you deleted it [06:43] open up a terminal [06:43] i only have .bash_history and .bash_logout [06:43] then type : ls -al [06:43] I installed Jaunty on an IBM laptop and the left click does not work. It's not a hardware issue because I plugged ina mouse and it still didn't work. How do I fix this? [06:44] Okay I ran ifconfig. What am I looking for again? Or what options to ifconfig? [06:44] greg, it is seen as wlan0 in ifconfig? do you have an AP to test it on? [06:44] i have never deleted .bashrc [06:44] greg sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [06:44] i am using Januty, if that makes difference [06:44] I've got a rather odd problem: I have an external hard disk that shows up in dmesg, can be cfdisk, and can be manually mounted, but won't show up in Places, etc, unless it's mounted by hand. Another disk, formatted with the same FS, shows up fine. They are literally identical models of disk, both with NTFS on them. Why would one show up and not the other? [06:44] There is a wlan0 paragraph in ifconfig. [06:44] chetnick: try "locate .bash" ? [06:44] greg should tell it to turn the card back on [06:44] chetnick: if you want it back `cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~/` [06:44] How do I tell it to turn the card back on? [06:44] greg, okay great; do you have a wifi hotspot to test it on [06:45] command i just gave you [06:45] Yes I have my own house wireless [06:45] Billiard: thanks [06:45] that works. [06:45] gogeta Thanks for that command! Unf. it scrolled by and I am not used to this stupid IRC client. [06:45] Oh right [06:45] sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [06:45] greg, normally sudo dhclient wlan0 if it is not encrypted, I will get you a link on how to set it manually if it is encrypted [06:45] yep [06:45] chetnick: np [06:46] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 greg [06:46] okay if I live boot my ubuntu cd it identifys my wireless card and allows me to install the restricted drivers [06:46] Well one thing is that that this system is running NetworkManager. [06:47] Yes my house wireless does have a wep key. [06:47] markmq, install the wireless drivers on the livecd? [06:47] now that I've installed I don't get that option from System -> hardware drivers [06:47] greg as long as the light is blue again the gui should wrok from there [06:47] ifconfig wlan0 up reported nothing. [06:47] gogeta the light is orange [06:47] well bazhang it automatically indentified my card for me, I wouldn't know which driver or even begin to know how to do that [06:47] then its on [06:47] I ran dhclient wlan0 but the light stayed orange. [06:47] gogeta No orange means off. blue means on. [06:48] bazhang, its not like there is a device manager type application that notices my uninstalled hardware [06:48] greg, well, with wep you should check the link I gave you [06:48] greg: hp laptop? [06:48] greg i think its off in the bios [06:48] Firefox fresh install question...I had to completely remove all traces of Firefox, but anytime I try to do a fresh install, Firefox won't connect to any sites. When launching from the terminal, I get a long list of error messages that seem to suggest some libraries re missing...what is the first step in installing Firefox that I am missing? [06:48] bigfootbuilt: how did you install it? [06:48] Package manager [06:48] bazhang Your link is very interesting, but it scrolled by a long time ago. Could you repeat please? [06:48] bigfootbuilt, which version of ff how installed [06:49] Tried to install 3.1 first [06:49] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 greg [06:49] hi.what package should i install for boost in C++? [06:49] tntc yes, hp laptop. netbook in fact [06:49] im using ubuntu feisty [06:49] bazhang Thanks! [06:49] I hear we can't just install 3.5 first [06:49] uio, that is no longer supported, get a more recent support version [06:49] greg: I dunno about your netbook, but on my full size one, the wireless card light stays orange even when the card is working. [06:49] how about in dapper? [06:49] bigfootbuilt: you can go to 3.5 without going to 3.1 first [06:49] Thru package manager? [06:50] bigfootbuilt: 3.0 is the default in ubuntu 8.04-9.04 [06:50] ttnc Well the thing is that this is a modified ubuntu for HP , and on the other one we have, it is blue. Also for this one, when it worked. [06:50] uio, also end of life [06:50] lstarnes: What should I select first in package manager? [06:50] hrm. greg: the wireless switch doesn't change the state? [06:51] bigfootbuilt: which version of ubuntu are you using? [06:51] Hello I'm trying to make my Ubuntu windows transparent, I have jaunty 9.04 and compiz, how can I do this? I've seen pictures of Ubuntu with transparent windows [06:51] 9.04 [06:51] bazhang the instructions at your link have an . What do I use for that? wlan0 or eth0? [06:51] greg, wlan0 [06:51] tntc No it doesn't. Not any more. [06:51] bazhang thanks. [06:51] bigfootbuilt: look for firefox-3.5 [06:52] vtec_ You can customize the terminal window to use transparency [06:52] Bigfoot, I would like for ALL of my things to be transparent [06:52] vtec_: there is an option in the terminal menus that you can make it transparent, not sure about the rest of the windows [06:52] not just the terminal [06:53] lstarnes: thanks, but I think I already tried that to no avail. There is some other files that seem to be missing [06:53] bigfootbuilt: there's also firefox-3.5-gnome-support [06:53] is there a command in ubuntu to list all the systemcalls? [06:53] can anyone help me setup my scaner of na multifiuntion HP 2180? [06:53] bigfootbuilt: does anything else have similar errors? [06:53] can i install them manually somehow bazhang? [06:53] is there a dedicated ubuntu help channel? [06:53] or is this it? [06:53] markmq: yes [06:54] markmq: this is it === vtec_ is now known as iCarly [06:54] haha [06:54] I'm bummed dont know how to go about gettin gmy wireless working [06:54] hmm, how do i install libgd on ubuntu?? [06:54] I can get it working via live boot [06:54] bazhang. I copied all of the commands. It all seemed to work, but dhcpdiscover does not work. And the light is still orange. [06:54] this is frustrating [06:54] lstarnes: Ya, I selected that, and the gnome package. I only removed the packages that were related to Firefox. Nothing else. But when I open firefox from terminal window, I see a long list of errors suggesting I am missing some type of library files [06:54] how do I make it discover my wireless card ARGH! [06:54] fotoflo: check apt-cache search libgd [06:54] greg, sure, with wep it will not work unless you set the password (wep) per the link [06:54] iCarly: Have you tried the compizconfig-settings-manager package? [06:55] going to try a reboot [06:55] lstarnes: I will try again [06:55] bazhang Yes I did the key line too. [06:55] bigfootbuilt: can you pastebin the erros? [06:55] *errors [06:55] Does anyone have a Microsoft Remote Desktop equivalent for Gnome that automatically adjusts to the resolution of the client I am connecting from? VNC doesn't automatically adjust, it shows me the entire resolution of the server and that is irritating when connecting from my laptop [06:55] bazhang Can't know if I did the key line correctlly.

If I use a game in WINE, it will happen more, but it happens even watching movies and listening to music. I have memtest86+'d and although I am willing to take suggestions on where to look, i don't see anything in logs. [07:03] lstarnes: have you ever heard of the "seamonkey"?

[07:25] stuhlbein: 1. 7.04 is end of life. hasn had security updates in a LONG time...so you should at least go to 8.04 [07:25] its supposed to be a performance improvement? [07:26] Billiard: okay [07:26] stuhlbein: 2. 8.04 and newer can install on the same partition without losing /home directory. if you actually have a /home partition, any version is fine [07:27] maco: yeah, i do have infact /home as a independent partiton, but i didn't see any option to use it in 7.04, that's why i asked... anyway, i already downloaded a copy of 9.04, so i think i'll try it with 9.04 [07:28] I am looking for the linux drivers for RTL8192-E ...

[07:52] bigfootbuilt, is there really a 9.1? [07:52] Updater I mean? [07:52] bigfootbuilt: however - you need to backup /home and /etc as a minimum [07:52] 9.10 = 9.1 sorry [07:52] bigfootbuilt, sure it will [07:53] bigfootbuilt: you can update [07:53] bigfootbuilt: you can use the web just "upgrade" from 9.04 to 9.10.

I hope it didn't,hehe. [08:13] chris8: depends on the motherboard. most allow you to disable the on-board and install an agp/pci-e gfx card [08:13] master_dou: i do but karmic isnt discussed here [08:13] sorry [08:13] ActionTurnip: thanks [08:13] vox: thanks so much! [08:13] chris8: no probs [08:13] ActionParsnip, thanks. looks like they haven't uploaded the driver yet.. unfortunately the previous one doesn't seem to be working for me either. I guess I'll just have to wait it out without it [08:13] ActionParsnip: those things are stupidbig [08:13] chris8: 1792Mb [08:14] vox: tell me about it, its prbably faster than my desktop PC too [08:14] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade gonna work? [08:14] master: I am told the update manager will work [08:14] master_dou: Pls check the url http://www.ubuntugeek.com/upgrade-ubuntu-9-04-jaunty-jackalope-to-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala-beta.html [08:15] ActionParsnip: and require their own substation to power it. [08:15] vox: but people like shiny graphics and the gamers will buy them [08:15] has anyone tried the kubuntu netbook remix? [08:16] ActionParsnip: heh not wrong. i cant justify anything over a 9600gt at this point. [08:16] \exit [08:16] vox: 6150 plays frets on fire just fine :) [08:17] After booting from Ubuntu to Xp or vice versa, I need to adjust the dislocated screen from the monitor display keys. Any solution guyz ... ;( [08:18] Pranav: keep it so one OS is OK then adjust the screen position in the other OS [08:19] ActionParsnip, Sry I didn't get ? === Bruno is now known as Brunno [08:19] Pranav: well both OS have the screen a different way, yes [08:19] Pranav, you need to configure both OS's to use exactly the same resolution, horizontal refresh and vertical refresh [08:19] so you leave the screen so it is ok for one othe the OSes [08:20] Pranav: then use some grahical tool in the other to make it like the position the monitor is in, rather than manually moving the monitor [08:21] as well as what duckx0r says as that can shift the screen too [08:21] ActionParsnip, tools like ? [08:21] test [08:22] pong [08:22] Pranav: i dont know any. I dont mess with displays or dual boot [08:22] Pranav: windows may have one so you can shift the screen. I know nvidia have it [08:23] Pranav: basically you need to play with software and settings so your image is right, rather than using the OSD on your monitor. [08:23] ActionParsnip, that can only shift the screen within the actual viewing area anyway, so if the viewing area is off the edge of the monitor i don't think that any software can correct that [08:23] hi [08:23] hey can any one give me a run through to configure my atheros wireless on my samsung notebook? [08:23] ActionParsnip, i could be wrong though :P [08:24] duckx0r, I have same resolution and refresh rate in both but I doubt about hor. Hz and Ver. Hz in windows..! [08:24] mohitcs35: what is the outout of: sudo lshw -C network please use http://pastebin.com [08:24] Hey all, maybe a question someone can answer quickly... How do I change the default kernel selected on bootup, I'd like to permanently use the real time kernel... I've tried to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst but it doesn't exsist. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 rc [08:25] toothdecay: join #ubuntu+1 for karmic support [08:25] Pranav, maybe there might be some sort of windows tool you can download to tell you what the horizontal and vertical refresh rates are and more detailed specs about the monitor. I don't know though. If you find it, you could just configure your xorg.conf to be the same [08:25] voc: ok thanks [08:25] ActionParsnip: the output is as under [08:25] -network [08:25] description: Ethernet controller [08:25] product: AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter [08:25] vendor: Atheros Communications Inc.

[08:26] milligan_: if you have something like exim installed (which you probably do), cron will mail the script's STDOUT and STDERR to the invoking user. you'd find output in /var/mail/$USER. You may use that for debugging purposes. [08:26] duckx0r, i generated and wrote the modeline myself in xorg.conf [08:26] anybody knows why I can't ifdown the virbr0 iface though I see it configured and with a valid IP ? I get "ifdown: interface virbr0 not configured" [08:26] test color [08:27] mohitcs35: i said use the pastebin, scrolling the channel is not cool [08:27] color test [08:27] mohitcs35: imagie if 10 users did that [08:27] Hello, would anyone here know how to mount a password protected cifs file share from the command line? [08:27] mohitcs35: how useless would the channel be? [08:27] mohitcs35: if everyone started pasting like that? [08:28] color test === root is now known as Guest74126 [08:28] ActionParsnip: Dear new to interface. sorry for that [08:28] maddog mount.cifs [08:28] Is there no way to change the color of my outgoing text in Xchat? [08:28] mohitcs35: well i did give you a link.... [08:28] mohitcs35: please use pastebins in future [08:28] mohitcs35: http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/185/install-atheros-ar242x-802-11abg-wireless-driver-in-ubuntu [08:29] bigfootbuilt: what do you think [08:29] icarus: I guess "no"? [08:30] I can change everything except my dark gray outgoing text [08:30] It is yes [08:30] bigfootbuilt: don't think freenode widely approves of ansi escapes [08:30] anyone know why my ubuntu jaunty would fail to resolve any hostnames? [08:30] I'm looking for a tasklist app (ticket system), with multiuser functionality.. preferably for the terminal, ideas? [08:30] I would only see it on my end [08:30] Nemoder: bad DNS setup? [08:31] ActionParsnip, duckx0r, Is there some linux tools that can shift and resize the display at startup ? [08:31] I can't see what the hell I am typing hardly [08:31] Nemoder: /etc/resolv.conf is fail, for some reason [08:31] ActionParsnip, I don't know of any [08:31] frogzoo: resolve.conf has the right dns server, but i ran a capture on the dns server and ubuntu never even sends to it [08:31] Nemoder: iptables in there? [08:31] Everyone elses chat looks bright white. Mine is dull gray and I can't find a way to change it [08:31] Nemoder: or syntax error? [08:32] frogzoo: the dns server works fine for other linux machines on the network, i think it's setup is ok [08:32] Nemoder: man resolv.conf for correct syntax === bbalajirao is now known as hey_boy [08:32] Pranav: if you tweak refresh rates it should move around [08:32] Hello room [08:32] frogzoo: oh, yes the resolv.conf is right [08:32] Nemoder: can you ping a public IP from that box? [08:33] vox: yes [08:33] I am using Karmic. My display settings has only two options for resolution 1024 and higher are not available. Any ideas? [08:33] Nemoder: if resolv.conf is correct, there's no firewalling, & you can reach a designated dns server, it just works [08:33] is there any UXA tweaks out there? i can't really find nothing on google [08:33] Nemoder: ...that makes no sense [08:33] hey_boy, do you have your graphics card installed? [08:33] Nemoder: are you using Network-Manager? [08:34] vox: yes [08:34] Nemoder: can you give us a pastebin ofresolv.conf try: http://80.87.131.193 [08:34] I thought it is detected automatically. [08:34] Nemoder: do you have the DNS server(s) added in Network-Manager? [08:34] hey_boy, run glxgears from command line tell me what you get [08:34] vox: no it's dhcp, and that part works fine and it gets the right dns server ip and assigns it to resolve.conf, i can paste it if needed [08:35] hi, i'm trying out 9.10 under virtualbox and i'm wondering what "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications" is? .. there is no information or homepage to be found as far as i can see [08:35] ActionParsnip: that link doesnt work [08:35] Gratz474: I see three gear wheels [08:35] Nemoder: bah, yeah just make sure the nameserver lines are on one line ;) [08:35] hello. how is it possible to move(shift?) screen (to left 2 cms) with glx 180 driver and ubuntu 904 when monitor has only power button? [08:36] hey_boy, how many fps? [08:36] nvidia [08:36] hey_boy, in the terminal? [08:36] lnostdal: ask in #ubuntu+1 [08:36] fps? what is that [08:36] # Generated by NetworkManager [08:36] nameserver 192.168.1.1 [08:36] which is correct, that's my dns server [08:36] ActionParsnip, ok, thanks [08:36] frames per second [08:37] hey_boy, in the terminal where you ran it how many fps are you getting? [08:37] qdb: sudo nvidia-settings [08:37] qdb: you can adjust in there [08:37] thank you i will try [08:38] Nemoder: try opendns [08:38] different values like 1096, 11752, 2019. [08:38] Nemoder: try adding some web based ones [08:38] is not it that what is in system->administration menu? , vox [08:38] hey_boy, ok so most likely vesa [08:38] hey_boy, what kind of card do you have? [08:38] qdb: it's the same, yes [08:38] 9.04? [08:38] intel 810 [08:38] vox, i tried that , has not found there [08:39] hello all [08:39] very strange, it started working again even though I changed nothing [08:39] Nemoder: try adding: nameserver 208.67.222.222 and nameserver 208.67.222.220 === Administrator is now known as Guest97369 [08:39] qdb: hmm [08:39] Nemoder: maybe your provider is playing, those are the openDNS servers [08:40] ActionParsnip: Doesn't work bro [08:40] let me check in the BIOS. I will be back. [08:40] ActionParsnip: I don't think so, it always works fine from other machines, it just cuts out randomly on the ubuntu box [08:40] hey_boy, you need to specify intel in your xorg [08:40] thank you, i quit from this channel [08:40] i have ubuntu-9.04 installed on AMD semphron 3000+, with 2GB RAM, the monitor is LG Flatron 16", but the OS has not detected the monitor what should i do??? [08:40] Nemoder: then have a few backup DNS servers incase the one you have fails [08:41] mohitcs35: works for everyone else I ever gave it to [08:41] what would cause my working ati drivers to suddenly uninstall themselves? [08:41] ActionParsnip: that's where I'm confused, the server doesn't even get sent anything, it's like ubuntu's internal resolver is broken [08:41] mohitcs35: you are compiling the diver for the card [08:41] Nemoder: you could install dnsmasq to locally store the resolutions [08:41] ActionParsnip: But didn't work for me. [08:42] ActionParsnip: that's what is what my dns server machine runs :) [08:42] Nemoder: also makes browsing a little faster due to name resolves taking 0 time [08:42] a query regarding samba server. I have two users at the server aman and I am using security = user parameter. Now from vista I am able to connect to samba share by running this \\192.168.1.201\staff after this i am prompted for user name and password. The problem is after i have logged in i can ALSO access aman directory which in my view is a security breach. How do i fix this? [08:42] two user at server aman and staff [08:42] mohitcs35: thats all I got then dude, maybe someone else can advise [08:42] ActionParsnip: Thanks for trying [08:43] Any takers plz [08:43] Guest97369: in the smb.conf you need to tell the service to not allow the other user name [08:43] The only thing I could possible guess is that it's trying to use ipv6 but I thought I had that disabled [08:43] additionally I am not sharing the two share explicitly, i am using [homes] only === Guest97369 is now known as shavinder [08:44] ActionParsnip: how can i do that? [08:44] shavinder: in smb.conf like i just said [08:44] ActionParsnip: yes, which parameter please? [08:44] guest = no? [08:44] shavinder: invalid user [08:44] shavinder: are your home folders set so all users have read permissions maybe? [08:44] invalid users = ? [08:45] who is .tgz and what is the difference between it and .tar.gz? Both are "Gzipped tarballs"... [08:45] shall i dpaste my smb.conf? [08:45] give me a minute I shall do that in a minute [08:45] hi. I'm trying to import a CD into the mp3 format. In the preferred format list, mp3 is not there. However when I click edit, it is in the GNOME audio profile list and mp3 is marked as active. How do I get mp3 to show up as my preferred format? Lame is installed. [08:45] shavinder: you need to tell samba that the other user name is not allowed to access the data [08:45] I have the iso for 9.10, I do not have internet access on the laptop I would like to update on...is there a way to update to 9.10 without creating another ubuntu installation [08:46] like can I go to windows and "upgrade" it...or will it overwrite my old install? [08:46] wolf39us: Use alternative install CD. [08:46] wolf39us: if you have the alternate CD , yes [08:46] wolf39us: ive read you can with a liveCD but its not graceful or pretty [08:46] and i dont advise it [08:46] Is there way to crypt filesystem that already has content? [08:46] ah [08:47] I probably have the wrong one... [08:47] I have ubuntu-9.10-rc-desktop-i386.iso [08:47] Hello [08:47] wolf39us: if your CD boots to a graphical desktop with a mouse, then yep wrong disk === bbalajirao is now known as heyboy [08:48] * Take0n kalimorning [08:48] good morning :p [08:48] wolf39us: And you need... http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-rc-alternate-i386.iso [08:48] i think that actually made my graphics a little bit better [08:48] easiest way, always download the alternate cd, it installs faster too [08:48] ActionParsnip: here is my smb.conf please http://paste.ubuntu.com/299619/ [08:48] downloading LOL [08:49] good thing I didn't try anything yet [08:49] heyboy, did you get it fixed? [08:49] shavinder: thats just mine, but you commented out the lines at the bottom [08:50] Gratz474: no, vga is onboard. [08:50] not able to determine make [08:50] ActionParsnip: yes :) but i have enabled homes share [08:50] When I try to run "sudo xvidtune", it says unable to query monitor. I am running the graphical system. But why ? [08:50] heyboy, its an intel right? [08:50] did you install the intel drivers? [08:50] Not sure now. [08:50] wolf39us: If i were you, though, i'd wait for the final release. [08:50] my main thing is getting the RLT8192-e working on the laptop...I know they are getting written currently, but doesn't 9.10 come with "beta" drivers for this chipset? [08:50] I have not installed any drivers [08:50] heyboy, ok what version of ubuntu are you using ? [08:50] heyboy: you dont need o install anything [08:51] what exactly is an icm file and where can i get them from? [08:51] 9.10 [08:51] heyboy: intel drivers are and always have been included [08:51] my friend can't get online with the 9.04 [08:51] so he wants to upgrade... [08:51] for the drivers [08:51] ActionParsnip: I enabled homes share,and set security = user. what else should i do? [08:51] heyboy, in the device section put Driver "intel" and save and restart [08:51] wolf39us: What is the method of connection? ethernet? Modem? Or via VPN like me? [08:51] both ethernet and wireless are not available [08:51] Gratz474: intel devices dont even require an xorg.conf at all [08:51] we want wierless [08:51] device section of what [08:52] wireless [08:52] it's a new Toshiba Satellite [08:52] Gratz474: its just some of the annoying proprietary drivers that require it [08:52] maco, they did for me [08:52] Gratz474: how old? 6 years or so? [08:52] wolf39us: Wireless... always been a problem with linux :( Saw so many people here go in and complain their wireless does not work. [08:52] maco, its not going to hurt anything [08:52] nothing 945 and newer should require effort [08:52] maco, he has an i810 [08:52] and i had a 865 [08:52] shavinder: i've not done this with with more than 3 users and I define everything microscopically [08:53] well it works fine on MY laptop...but I have a typical intel abg on board [08:53] oooo wow so yes like 6 yr old [08:53] heyboy, do you know what a xorg.conf is ? [08:53] hahaha Gratz474 makes friends on every channel he goes to :) [08:53] he has a realtek one [08:53] I can't run "sudo xvidtune". It says "Unable to query monitor". Any Idea ? [08:53] banister`, you really do follow me huh? [08:53] shavinder: i thought you meant you had 2 shares each with a single password but the password for one was also allowing access to the second folder [08:53] wolf39us: There was some realtek thingy in "Hardware drivers" on my comp. Installed it...... did you do so? [08:53] heyboy, put the driver part in your xorg and it will work just fine [08:54] uhm no I haven't [08:54] hardware drivers? hmm [08:54] in place of "configured video device"? [08:54] in the synaptic manager? [08:54] wolf39us: System->Admininstration->Hardware Drivers [08:54] pastebin.ca your thing and link me heyboy [08:54] k [08:55] wolf39us: you'd need internet for that though %) [08:55] ActionParsnip1: yes that is what is happening. i type \\192.168.1.201\staff and after giving password i can access the aman home directory but if i navigate upwards i can access aman user directory too! [08:55] he doesn't even have eth available :-/ [08:55] ActionParsnip1 Can "xvidtune" help me adjust my screen position ? [08:55] wolf39us: Well, realtek drivers are propertiary, they won't be included in the release.... I think [08:56] Pranav: not used it dude, give it a go [08:56] gratz474: http://pastebin.ca/1639563 [08:56] shavinder: ok but are there only 2 user names or are there many? [08:56] shavinder: do your home directories have read permissions for all users? [08:56] contents of my xorg.conf [08:56] ugh...I just want to get the wireless working...grr lol [08:56] for the moment there are two [08:56] wolf39us: Hm. Wonder if i can find drivers without this thing. [08:57] heyboy, http://pastebin.ca/1639565 [08:57] maco, and its 5 years old not 6 [08:57] wolf39us: Look trough this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=336338 [08:57] Gratz474: haha. my mom's 845 is 8 years old so i was estimating [08:58] and my 945 is 3 years old [08:58] maco, it came out in late 04 i believe [08:58] ActionParsnip1: yes for the moment there are 2 [08:58] wrong chipset [08:58] I have a 8192e [08:58] maco, but computers all through early to mid 05 that were cheap had them [08:58] Gratz474: the 865 or 810?

I know how to join, by the way, how on earth would i get here then? [09:08] theadmin, or go to #compiz and talk with adamk althought I think he is not logged on right now or not at his system yet [09:08] gratz474: where [09:09] hey_boy, change intel in the xorg to maybe i810 if that does not work then i am not soo sure, as it always worked with intel for me but mine is like 5 months newer then taht one [09:09] ok === Brunno is now known as Bruce [09:10] rebooting [09:11] Oh. What is the difference between "shutdown" and "halt" terminal commands? [09:12] theadmin, actually I believe they all transition to runlevel 6 [09:12] coz_ I think it's 0. [09:12] 6 is reboot :D, 0 is shutdown. [09:13] theadmin, you are correct and answered your own qutestion :) [09:13] so I ran this command "root@freekbox:/var/www# cp -Rf /var/www /backup" and it looks like it worked when I viewed /backup but the command never returns a new prompt. It just looks like its working. but I know var/www is not bigger then 10MB so it cant take this long [09:13] question [09:14] hey all wsup [09:15] theadmin, I am going to guess that "halt" is an alias for reboot [09:15] woof? [09:15] andrewfree: What on earth are you doing running stuff as root? It's dangerous. [09:16] Oops [09:16] Accidentally scrolled up (a bug in pidgin does it automatically when i minimize the window and maximize it back) [09:17] hi guys..I've just installed chrome, and I opted to use the gtk theme for it...can anyone tell me why it's purple? I dont have a stitch of purple in my gtk theme?

[09:49] imyousuf: you repeated yourself a lot of times so I thought, maybe you forgot what time it was, and I changed your clock [09:49] system4041, then I suggest going to #grub channel I am sure they can offer more options :) [09:49] how do i point the terminal to my grub file via live cd in order to edit it [09:49] imyousuf: Theer was a mention of bangladesh in the changelog: aptitude changelog tzdata [09:49] imyousuf: now your clock is set so you can move on, it is better if you can think of other people in your life who listen to you repeat yourself, um, repeatedly [09:49] coz_: ill try #grub cheers [09:50] system4041: I wrote it, just mount your System-Partition and move to the Path, where the menu.lst is. [09:50] lucent: Sorry but I can not follow you mean to say? changing the clock is *BUG* [09:50] the time zone in our country is UTC +7 [09:50] system4041, just in case http://www.speedyshare.com/205453325.html [09:51] so lucent if the tzdata is updated as UTC +6 its a plain and simple *BUG* [09:51] I got extra alerts -> blink in tray etc when I right click on channel name (in the left window of XChat? [09:51] coz_: can you maybe say how long approximately does it take to burn the chip? [09:51] geirha: Any idea where I can find the changelog? [09:51] Frickelpit: where is the menu.lst [09:51] CHESLYN, depends on the cpu and how long you run it without a fan [09:51] imyousuf: Type in a terminal: aptitude changelog tzdata [09:51] Xterm_: Give me a minute, I'm not using xchat, let me try and start it up and check on mine [09:52] system4041: /boot/grub/menu.lst on your System-Partition [09:52] CHESLYN, you are running the risk of overheating the system and motherboard exposing other chips to overheating and likely burning up [09:52] will do... Take your time... [09:52] how can I install grub from live CD? If it is possible, will it corrupt existing loader?

Exakt WHERE do you right click on channelname? [09:56] Does anyone know how i can set the same interface to be brought up multiple times at boot? (a PPP interface) [09:56] Xterm_: On the left tab, you should have the server list and channels that are open [09:56] DeFi: apparently not. [09:56] DeFi: keep trying though, you're alienating anyone who might have the expertise to answer your question. [09:56] Xterm_: perhaps tab is the wrong description, its the left window pane [09:56] If I click on channelname in upper left Window of Xchat I get a menu with Channelname in blue | extra alerts | settings | remove from favourites | detach | close [09:56] how can I install grub from live CD, keeping existing boot loader? [09:56] lucent: hopefully someone will, people are joining and leaving all the time... im not alienating anyone. [09:57] ;-) [09:57] ok. Then we are probably loking at the same "server name" I would also describe it as the left pane [09:57] thanks a lot geirha, commenting on the issue [09:57] Xterm_: Try clicking on the extra alerts, it might be that which will bring up an extra menu [09:57] coz_: you know what ? i had a pentium that was running with a broken fan for mouths now im not sure whats happening [09:57] Lint01: grub is a bootloader so by installing grub you will install grub over the existing boot loader [09:58] Frickelpit: ive edited out the new kernal gonna reboot now fingers crossed i get no more crashes [09:58] CHESLYN, mm well I suggest cleaning or replacing the fan [09:58] Extra alerts -> Beep on message | Blink tray icon | Blink taskbar [09:58] Nothing else there [09:58] system4041: good luck :) [09:58] Xterm_: What about if you click on settings [09:59] Xterm_, right click channel settings [09:59] all bootloaders can call another one way or another. Will grub backup present bootsector upon installation? [09:59] Xterm_, hide join/part messages [09:59] Xterm_: what version of xchat are you using? click on help and about [09:59] coz_: but i think it can still go for mouths or years like this ....mm wow ne [10:00] CHESLYN, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [10:00] hi... a mouse cursor is invisible (it works as usual, only I can't see it) after todays updates. any hints?

But from time to time some of them gets its settings reverted to default. I have looked in .screenlets (because thats the place where they got imported to) but I can't find any config data (like placements, color etc) for them there. Where does this kind of data gets stored? [10:03] it happened right after dist-upgrade ("partial upgrade" in update-manager's terminology). I rebooted (kernel was upgraded) and the cursor was gone. I rebooted again just to make sure it's not a one-time thing. [10:04] muszek: is it the same with all mouse themes? [10:04] wow... it just magically re-appeared (I didn't do anything) [10:04] woo it worked [10:05] ActionParsnip1: I haven't gotten to changing mouse themes (although I changed the "generic" themes in hope mouse theme is reloaded as well) === daveboy is now known as dave === dave is now known as Guest79438 [10:08] in bash, how to assign the output of " echo `date -r foobar.file +%d` - 7 |bc " to a variable ABC ?

Everything works very well except that on reboot I have to do a manually /etc/init.d/networking restart. What could be the most elegant solution for this problem? [10:27] indus: hey_boy is now on the ubuntu+1 channel, so you can probably pitch in and chat with him/her there. [10:27] etfb: sorry... I didn't realize it was not an open office channel... The openoffice "gethelp" page led me here... https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+sources/openoffice.org/+gethelp sorry and thanks [10:27] jo__: could add the command in /etc/rc.local [10:28] jo__: rc.local makes sense [10:28] ActionParsnip1: but I thought there is auto eth1:N for [10:29] jo__: maybe it needs the extra nudge, rc.local is processed last so should fix you up automagically [10:29] doesnt it work for virtual devices? [10:29] or do I misunderstand? [10:29] jo__: auto ethX:Y means the device should be up on boot [10:30] jo__: i am unsure for virtuals [10:30] someone please help me with sound [10:30] jo__: but if the command works then i'd just run with it [10:30] ActionParsnip1:, lucent: thanks, I will put it in rc.local. [10:31] srinath: try to be more vague [10:31] how to install sound drivers? [10:31] srinath: install Ubuntu. Sound drivers are included. [10:31] I searched Ubuntu and google [10:31] srinath: can you provice the output of: lspci | grep -i audio [10:31] went to some sites [10:31] downloaded few alsa drivers [10:31] tried installing [10:31] but still no sound [10:31] srinath: if it doesn't work, then it's not going to work. that's simple.

[10:33] I'll have to modify /boot/grub/menu.lst manually after every kernel upgrade or is it a bug? [10:33] iceroot: thats fine, it will delete the directory for you [10:33] tell me now [10:33] iceroot: the double-dash tells commands to ignore trailing flags, and then wrap everything in quotes and escape the question marks [10:33] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) [10:33] ActionParsnip1: rm -rf tells me it cant be deleted, because its a directory [10:33] theadmin: sounds like a bug to me [10:33] rm -rf >\>\>\ logfile\ 2\>\&1/ [10:33] help [10:34] iceroot: can you delete it in nautilus?

[10:35] ActionParsnip1: ah ok rm -rf "the directory" was working [10:35] iceroot: cool [10:35] ActionParsnip1:... wait... It KEEPS the old kernel!? What... the... hell... for!? [10:35] theadmin: as you install more new kernels you ill keep the old [10:35] theadmin: Because nobody's perfect. Not even the Ubuntu testers. [10:35] theadmin: you can see what you have with: dpkg -l | grep linux-image [10:35] how to flush dns cache? [10:36] karmic: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [10:36] ok [10:36] karmic: if you run dnsmasq you will need to restart that too [10:37] theadmin: the old kernels are kept so if you install a new kernel and it is bad then you can still boot to the original [10:37] hi all [10:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/299666/ [10:37] That's what i have. [10:37] Holas [10:37] theadmin: it is not sufficient to simply remove the old kernels from grub, the old kernels are still taking up ~120Mb a kernel [10:38] me aparece este error amigos [10:38] I just got a new laptop battery, and it's still not quite calibrated properly. It thinks it has 20% charge left, say, when really it's got 1%. Thus, lots of sudden switch-offs. How do I reset its "memory"? [10:38] computer janitor is a nice way to remove old kernels [10:38] theadmin: thats fine, you have 2 kernels [10:38] ... i only need latest. [10:38] "15" one works fine [10:38] etfb: sounds like battery fail or bug in reporting [10:39] theadmin: then run: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [10:39] amigos me aparece ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.101 port 2222: Connection refused [10:39] etfb: you can set the lower limit for the percentage though [10:39] lucent: No, it's pretty normal for a new battery. It's getting better over time. [10:39] theadmin: this will also autoremve it from grub during the process [10:39] ActionParsnip1: Well, i have a new kernel upgrade loading in. Will say if it works fine and then see how to remove old ones [10:40] theadmin: the 2nd command removes all the modules and header files for the kernel you just removed [10:40] lucent: How do you mean? As in, set the warning limit? [10:40] etfb: yeah [10:40] etfb: makes sense, doesn't it? [10:40] it's just a number, don't care what it is [10:40] theadmin: you get people with netbooks on 4Gb HDDs with like 6 kernels and they wonder why they gots no space [10:41] lucent: Trouble is that it's adapting: suppose there's a "real" amount of charge that we'll call X. Today, it might think that's 20%. Tomorrow, it will think it's 15%. [10:41] ActionParsnip1: Well, i'd expect an upgrade to remove the old version of any soft. [10:41] etfb: if you don't want my help, ok. [10:41] theadmin: its not an upgrade, its a seperate app [10:42] ...then why does it show up in upgrade manager!? [10:42] lucent: Well, it wasn't quite the answer to the question I asked, is all. I was kind of hoping there was a way to force the battery to reassess its own assumptions... [10:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/299670/ [10:42] theadmin: as it is a later version number but a kernel is a very key piece of softare so if you upgraded it to be the only kernel and you didnt have something to roll back yo you would be heavily screwed [10:43] theadmin: its not some high level crappy inconsequential app like a browser [10:43] theadmin: so they are kept [10:43] ActionParsnip1: Damn. Can i opt out of kernel upgrades for a while somehow? [10:44] theadmin: Indeed - ActionParsnip1 is 100% correct (my battery would say 140% correct). One thing that breaks a lot is suspend/resume. To debug it, it's useful to have old kernels around. [10:44] theadmin: sure you can tell apt to lock the version number and the package will be ignored [10:44] ActionParsnip1: Please tell me how. [10:45] theadmin: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html#s-pin [10:45] theadmin: not something ive done but i know it exists [10:46] is there a PDF viewer for Gnome, except Evince?

[10:47] so... [10:48] tapas: are you running desktop effects? [10:48] ActionParsnip1: nope. i think i turned them off [10:48] lemme restart X11 to check [10:49] ActionParsnip1: visual effects: none [10:49] they only ever bother me.. so i turn them off instinctively ;) [10:50] me too [10:50] that stuf can also interrupt mouse input, very annoying [10:50] i have an opensolairs nfs server, but for the life of me I cant get the ubuntu to client to connect [10:50] yeah.. but now i have just normal gnome, no effects.. [10:50] tapas: does the mouse click create an event in xev? [10:50] Like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/299678/ ? [10:50] ActionParsnip1: i can't check when it's stuck.. [10:50] because i can't get focus to xev.. [10:51] !why [10:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about why [10:51] theadmin: never dont it dude so yuo know more than me [10:51] and also it happens usually after like 1/2 hour of use [10:51] tapas: then when it happens quickly open a terminal and run: dmesg | tail [10:51] ActionParsnip1: ok.. [10:51] tapas: should give a clue [10:51] maybe i find something in /var/log/dmesg [10:51] ! why [10:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about why [10:52] what should i look for? [10:52] ! botabuse ubottu [10:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about botabuse ubottu [10:52] ActionParsnip1: i guess it's probably a bug in the input driver missing a button release event [10:52] tapas: just anything about mousey stuff or any hardware being disconnected [10:52] ! botabuse ubottu [10:52] j/ #ubuntu-br [10:52] ActionParsnip1: mouse movement still works though..

[11:02] markus_mpd: I got a problem. [11:02] hi, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome says OpenChrom is installed by default, but booting the 9.04 Desktop CD just gives me a flickering screen. Will the openchrome driver be loaded or do i have to use the alternate CD and manually install openchrome ? [11:02] alabd: you use an exclamation point at the start [11:02] alabd: !ot [11:03] How can I find the "doc root" in my Ubuntu? [11:04] ActionParsnip1: so where can command like ot be found ? in that link for ubuntu-offline has not said anthing such ot [11:04] চূপ। [11:05] hey there - I am currently trying to fix acpi - but it keeps giving me problems. [11:05] anvo: do you mean the official Documentation or the DocumentRoot of the apache webserver ? try /usr/share/doc for some (installed) documentation [11:05] sudo /etc/init.d/acpid stop -> sudo dpkg --configure -a ..... but then I get dpkg: status database area is locked by another process. [11:05] ehem and why should I to install 150MB Adobe Reader for PDF documents? [11:06] becauce adobe loves you? :D [11:06] oversize: not exactly... I'm trying to install phpmyadmin and it asks to unzip into "doc root"... [11:06] it was a fresh install, and everything seems to be working fine - except that. [11:06] well no sorry.. to be reasonable.. the reader has the best compability with obscure PDF stuff [11:06] anvo: ok which should be the DocumentRoot setting of your webserver [11:07] PDF is not 'obscure [11:07] , it's a standard [11:07] but its adobes standard [11:07] oversize: I have installed Apache2 via LAMP... [11:07] anvo: see /etc/apache2/sites-available/default for the default vhost [11:07] I dont like the reader either.. awfully bloated piece of software.. but all other i tried once in a while couldnt read a pdf [11:07] oversize: OK [11:08] anvo: in it there should be a Setting: "DocumentRoot" pointing to e.g. /var/www [11:09] anvo: and Setting with the same path, and thats where you unpack phpmyadmin into, but use a folder for phpmyadmin like /var/www/myadmin ... which should make your myadmin available at http://localhost/myadmin [11:09] তোমরা কী বলছো? [11:10] উবুন্টু শবার শেরা! [11:10] oversize: OK! So you mean, I should extract the tarball into /var/www exactly as it is? I mean, the tarball contains a folder, should I untar the folder, or its contents? [11:10] the folder [11:11] oversize: OK [11:11] so you end up with the sources of myadmin in /var/www/myadmin [11:11] you can also unpack them in your home dir an move the folder to /var/www [11:11] hello , where is the french chat please ?

I have given pm-suspend as lid close action for acpi, so everytime i close the lid of my laptop, it suspends the system. [11:41] Lately as i restart a suspended system, it goes back to suspend as soon as the system is loaded, which is avoided only if i constantly keyboard interrupts as it wakes up.. [11:42] now interestingly as i give pm-hibernate on a root prompt, it suspends the system! [11:43] hmm now i remember that previously pm-hibernate was failing to regain the system, it just reboots as normal.. [11:44] * shyam_k have to go and does halt..

How can I fix it? [11:58] proby: Yes, but you would have to use chroot to load yourself into the on-disk system. [11:59] proby: But if X is your only issue, you should be able to reboot into "recovery mode" instead and run updates from there. [11:59] i do this [12:01] !ffmpeg [12:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about ffmpeg [12:02] is there some usable text-mode editor available? [12:03] I dont understand why the command cat test gives 1 line output and echo $ linia gives 5 lines [12:03] Lint01: Use gedit [12:03] Lint01: nano is easy to learn. [12:03] aneesh1: text-mode he said [12:03] gedit is wonderful, but it's for X [12:03] then it is better to use vi [12:04] sadsadsad: because your for loop is splitting it up [12:04] sadsadsad: because for reads in one WORD at a time [12:04] "learn" a text editor? I said _usable_ [12:04] Lint01: i prefer leafpad, nice and light [12:04] What do i do it to make it work ? [12:04] ActionParsnip1: text-mode... [12:04] Lint01: nano, vim, and emacs are the more popular ones [12:04] sadsadsad: read bash faq #1 [12:04] nano then, nice and easy none of this command mode confusion [12:05] saw the link but got nothing usful , my bad :( [12:05] LInt01: I suggest vim [12:05] vim sucked in 2002, I suppose it still does now [12:06] Lint01: Still I am using vim for all my coding without any problem. [12:06] Yeah, nothing usually changes in 7 years... [12:06] thats news for me vim sux [12:06] hahah [12:07] hateball: mind you, doom is still a hugely easy game [12:08] 大家好。 [12:08] hello [12:08] I have a question where do we go for hardware support I am having some issues connecting to my cell phone through the USB port [12:08] !cn | hlovpwei [12:08] hlovpwei: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [12:08] What's the commad to compile .cpp file with gcc?

Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [12:10] wayne_79: what do you want to use te phone as, modem? storage?

[12:12] ActionParsnip1: g++ doesn't work [12:12] ActionParsnip1: It's mandriva [12:13] pqrstuv: then you are in the wrong channel [12:13] #mandriva [12:13] or #c++ [12:13] I will check out the wiki page [12:13] wayne_79: have you seen opensync [12:13] i just bumped into it [12:14] I'm going to demonstrate Ubuntu to my friends by doing the thing with no changes made to your computer, if I do that am I still able to install ccsm or any other program? [12:14] HI, In gparted it wont let me format my second hardrive as NTFS, how can i sort this? can any one help. [12:14] foundry871: sure but you will be limited by how much ram the system has [12:15] I see, that should be fine [12:15] Thanks [12:15] foundry871: but you can install drivers and the like to get 3d effects if they are girly enough to be wowed by 3d effects [12:15] foundry871: Of course.. [12:15] installed windows 7 in vbox, when shutting it down the mobo got fried.. anyone familiar with this? [12:16] no I have not seen open sync what is it [12:17] wayne_79: seems like an earlier development of some phone sync app [12:21] * grawity wonders. [12:21] about what?

(under whois) [12:23] will dl [12:23] whats the archive program used in ubuntu? [12:23] Smitttttty: xchat? [12:23] ok thankies [12:23] papul: The GUI is called file-roller. [12:23] papul: But it doesn't do any archiving itself - it uses standard tools such as tar, gzip, and 7z. [12:23] anyone have a link to setup your own ubuntu mirror?

After chaning from a dvi to a vga cabel I just get "random stuff" on the screen [12:25] hylman: tweak it then [12:25] anyone experiences the same thing? [12:25] hylman: bum can be used to reduce boot up services if you dont use them [12:25] I tried the daily build and it went fine [12:26] it should be by default, without tweaking.... [12:26] pc106:home# pycentral help [12:26] unknown action `help' [12:26] use `pycentral help' for help on actions and arguments [12:26] ^ w... t... f...? [12:26] i remember reading some articles in the net re: ubuntu target to boot even faster... [12:26] hylman: ubuntu cannot accommodate the vast array of hardware and settings a user may need so i quite bloated by defaul [12:26] hylman: that's the next release [12:26] 10.04 LTS [12:27] currently running moblin on my netbook, and boot faster... [12:27] hylman: so yes it needs tweaking to be more precise if you want it faster [12:27] Hello everybody [12:27] oh, well... looking forward than 10.04 then... [12:27] How are you all? [12:27] I have a problem with firefox in Ubuntu Jaunty [12:27] Will you help me out? [12:27] hylman: the kernel can also be very optomised past its current settings, but again the kernel is trying to give maximum functionality so stuff works out of the box more [12:28] that's why its called generic kernel [12:28] ttyX: exactly [12:28] Guest36729: Tell me what is your pblm? [12:28] hi all. I've got a problem using visudo... this is the saved file, it looks fine to me but I still can't shutdown using my user "venav" -> http://dpaste.com/111022/ [12:28] when I tried karmic beta, there was still lines of CLI before the splash screen kicks in... [12:29] hylman: is that ofensive? [12:29] hylman: that prob was there for me also [12:29] which seems to be a backdraw... as jaunty nicely omit this... [12:29] but didn't bother [12:29] ActionParsnip1: which part of that is offensive? [12:29] This is my problem: Whenever I click on any link, when the page loading ends... The URL in the address field remains the same. [12:29] your system will boot a lot faster if you remove network manager and use the interfaces file with static ip [12:30] Heh. I love a text line -- let alone a text scrolling. I would take them over splash screen anytime. ;o [12:30] It doesn't let me go forward or back either. [12:30] hylman: dunno you sounded like seeing some lines of text was a bad thing. [12:30] hiffy, is possible resize a partition ntfs with my ubuntu intaled ? [12:30] And it doesn't save my bookmarks or history [12:30] I can't access them. [12:31] Guest36729: ru sure your partition is not mounted as read only? [12:31] hylman: if boot times get you wet, try running xpud. Boots in 4 seconds from cold here on sata hdd [12:32] ActionParsnip1: I didn't mean that at all... but personally I prefer not seeing this scrolling text at all.. [12:32] ttyX I think I do. [12:32] can i get the ubuntu theme as an archive? [12:32] How could I find out? [12:32] when i upgrade from jaunty to karmnic (using a live cd).. will the support period extend or only the packages will be upgraded?? [12:32] hylman: i prefer it, can see when and if things go wrong. this is especially needed during beta testing [12:32] try mkdir in a terminal for example [12:32] i just hopped off karmic koala well atleast the kde. [12:32] hey got a question, from time to time ubuntu will ask me to put my wireless apssword in, and the **'s that are in the box look like they are a hash [12:32] ttyX It works [12:32] lost taskbar support =D gnome now / [12:33] ttyX It creates the directory without any problem. [12:33] well then its not mounted as ro atleast :P === zaggynl_ is now known as zaggynl [12:33] What should I do? [12:33] Guest36729: Try to upgrade firefox using synaptic manager [12:33] Why would I have blocked updates? [12:33] yeah... well again it's personal choice... but I believe there should be option to disable this scrolling text... after all, splash screen is there to "hide" them anyway [12:33] gamerx: Maybe the password is just shown in hexadecimal? [12:33] Guest36729: try full system upgrade [12:34] grawity, what? [12:34] Guest36729: No just the firefox and its dependencies .. [12:34] You mean, to the new Ubuntu release? [12:34] grawity, when i click show password it has "94a5e82c73555210686d86ebf84ffd64e50522c73cf5963553f532bc666e710c" in the box [12:34] JuJuBee: the app is ready but the deps have not being made yet [12:34] Guest36729: no install all available updates for jaunty [12:34] I thought this was a bug, i.e.: scrolling text... well, it seems that it's a feature... is it not? is it still in the rc version? [12:35] sync and update [12:35] hi! [12:35] JuJuBee: so you will get updates held back until they are ready [12:35] hello i can't use virtualbox-ose because problem is kernel update i cant find virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24.25 [12:35] That's done using the update manager, right? [12:35] Visually, I mean. [12:35] nurettin: you need kernel headers for vbox to work [12:35] gamerx: Displaying hashes for 'sillypassword123' is more safe and security than displaying the actual password. [12:36] How can I do that in a terminal? [12:36] Guest36729: apt-get update [12:36] i think i may have installed xchat twice,can anyone tell me how to get one back ouuta here? [12:36] yes Guest36729 [12:36] is there any way to remove the word Avidemux from the title of the video files I converted? [12:36] ttyX: how find ? [12:36] Balsaq: you cant install an app twice [12:36] leaf-sheep, yes but its kinda annoying that it keeps asking me for it in the begginning [12:36] Sorry for my english, I don't know very well when to use "in" or "on". [12:36] Balsaq: you may have xchat and xchat2 [12:36] oh good thanks ActionParsnip1 [12:36] search synaptic nurettin and install the package matching your kernel version [12:37] btw, anyone tried karmic moblin remix recently? [12:37] Guest36729, your doing exeptionally well [12:37] ActionParsnip1 how can icelan up my whois? [12:37] Balsaq: if you analyse the output of: dpkg -l | grep xchat you can see what packages you have installed relating [12:37] wonder if karmic moblin is still buggy [12:37] gamerx: If you toggles on the AutoLogin, nm-applet will prompt for password. [12:37] Balsaq: no idea, i dont use it [12:37] could anyone come into a private chat with me? [12:37] ActionParsnip1: Oh, thanks. I thought maybe I had something installed that I shouldnt have [12:37] anyone running on hp tx2000 here? [12:37] ActionParsnip1 how can i clean up my whois? [12:37] Will you upgrade to the new release? [12:37] leaf-sheep, and how do i go about cjhecking? [12:37] oh ok saw it now ActionParsnip1 [12:37] ttyX: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=virtualbox-ose [12:37] Balsaq: your question is off-topic in this channel, please join #freenode [12:38] gamerx: You don't know? When you boot up, does it bypass the User/Password login? [12:38] My system is 64 bit, I forgot to say it. [12:38] leaf-sheep, no [12:38] oh thought iwas in freenode sorry [12:38] leaf-sheep, HELL no ratehr [12:38] ttyX: the last package Package virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-24-generic [12:38] Guest36729: whats up? [12:38] have a problem with network-manager on jaunty [12:38] ttyX: but i need Package virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-25-generic [12:39] Isn't that a problem? [12:39] I thought it was. [12:39] Guest36729: is what a prolem? [12:39] ActionParsnip1: The updates are for Linux-headers-generic-2.6.28.15.20(amd64) same for restricted-modules, generic and image-generic is this normal? [12:39] ttyX: who is creating this packages ? [12:39] Using 64 bit O.S. [12:39] my wacom pen is working fine on X, but touchscreen was poorly config. How do I get the touchscreen working according where i touch, where the pointer is? [12:39] ttyX: or can i create this package ? [12:39] Ubuntu devs offcourse [12:40] Guest36729: no its no problem at all [12:40] When I try to upgrade, it asks me for the Ubuntu Jaunty CD [12:40] Is that normal? [12:40] daniel82lam, try here http://tnoergaard.wordpress.com/2009/05/09/ubuntu-touch-screen-setup-and-calibration/ [12:40] the network manager does not connect to vpn network, although it says "connection established" [12:40] JuJuBee: you can run: sudo apt-get install limux-image-2.6.28.15.20 if you really NEED the kernel. If your system is fine then you dont need it [12:41] how do I reconfigure the X server in Jaunty? [12:41] Guest36729: can you tab complete my name at the start of sentances [12:41] hello, is there any suggested terminal ? [12:41] hey_boy, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh [12:41] Guest36729: see how my text to you is highlighted, that ISNT an accident [12:41] ActionParsnip1 Ok, sorry [12:41] ttyX: and how can i use skystar2 pci dvb card ? [12:41] i need a terminal support 256 colors [12:41] Guest36729: Toggle off 'Installable from CD-ROM/DVD' under Software Sources. [12:42] Guest36729: you have your install CD marked as a repository in synaptic, you need to remove this. [12:42] leaf-sheep Thank you. [12:42] ttyX: kaffeine menu is cant see dvb? [12:42] nurettin: I guess you should search ubuntu forums first [12:42] if i'm currently using the karmic beta, will a update everything to the stable version, once that's released? [12:42] the network manager does not connect to vpn network, although it says "connection established" [12:42] ttyX: thank you [12:42] hi ubuntu guys, is there a command I can use it to view my Internet IP ? [12:42] ifconfig [12:43] !karmic | StrangeCharm [12:43] Ok, I did it.

[12:43] how do i turn on my bluetooth radio in command on jaunty? [12:43] Geine: : wget -qO - checkip.dyndns.org | grep -Eo '[0-9\.]+' [12:43] dyndns.org blocked in my area [12:43] may anyone come in a private chat with me? [12:43] Geine: i have this in a script, dead handy [12:44] i am totally confused here... [12:44] hey! how can i find a package in the repository using the terminal? [12:44] ActionParsnip1 How do I update the whole system? [12:44] athlan: You are in a private chat with 1434 strangers. [12:44] Geine: thats weird, "You shall not convert your own IP to a handy name" [12:44] ActionParsnip1: so it will be "unblocked" when the deps are finished? [12:44] booted from livecd: I have 2 disks in raid 0 with NTFS but I see 2 separate disks in gparted (sda & sdb) with unallocated space and no disks in nautilus. How can I make ubuntu recognize my RAID? [12:44] hi [12:44] cristi1, aptitude search "package name" [12:44] Hi all, the new GDM theme in ubuntu 9.10 sucks. There is a way to change it?

[12:46] ActionParsnip1, nice script but as I told you -- dyndns.org blocked from the ISP [12:46] how am i able to respond in private? === halega_ is now known as halega [12:47] L1nUX1z3R: and if i know the application's name and not the package name itself?

[12:47] ActionParsnip1 Should I wait the new version to be released or try the beta release? [12:47] akappa: You can change [12:47] aneesh1, how? [12:47] ActionParsnip1: I am currently running 64Bit on a core 2 duo 2.54 am I "really" benefiting by using 64 bit or is there not really much diff from 32 bit? [12:47] [12:47] [12:47] ActionParsnip1, ipchicken ? [12:47] [12:47] geekAb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[12:49] leaf-sheep: but by how much really? [12:49] Geine: uses www.ipchicken.com which shows your WAN IP. That script just cuts out the info then shows it nicely [12:49] i am facing a problem in my ubuntu system , after boot up the network manager is crashing , how to resolve that [12:49] i am facing a problem in my ubuntu system , after boot up the network manager is crashing , how to resolve that [12:49] I have an app that I cannot get running on 64bit [12:49] I was just in kde about 8 hours ago, lost use of my main file manager, like task bar, someone told me to install gnome-desktop, so now I'm on the other side, althought im liking it. I had 1024x1xxx [12:49] ActionParsnip1, thanks [12:49] JuJuBee: how much ram do you have? [12:49] JuJuBee: What application? [12:49] I think my problem with firefox exists since I installed some skins and updated it to 3.5 wrongly. [12:49] now all i have the option is fro 1024x729 [12:49] coz_, you think its a calibration problem? === starcraftman is now known as WikiNinja [12:49] I have 6GB ram and the application is for a SmartBoard in a classroom [12:50] akppa: download the themes . And you can install it by 'System --> Preferences -- > Theme' [12:50] JuJuBee: apps like audio and video encoding / decoding benefit from 64bit [12:50] JuJuBee: you NEED 64bit as you have more than 3Gb RAM [12:50] I haven't been able to go forward or back in firefox since. [12:50] Hi [12:50] L1nUX1z3R: didn't work, but it did with apt-cache search . thanks again anyway! [12:50] daniel82lam, it might be would you mind stating the issue again ...sorry I am doing three things at once:) [12:50] Guest36729: then rename ~/.mozilla and rerun it [12:50] cristi1, yw [12:51] hi [12:51] JuJuBee: Does the application ends with .exe? Is the application for Windows? [12:51] ActionParsnip1: thanks for that [12:51] Guest36729: Just wait for 6 Days . You can install new ubuntu 9.10 [12:51] leaf-sheep: no, it is a linux native app [12:51] SmartTech makes software for their smartboards (interactive white board) and make for linux as well [12:51] JuJuBee: max for 32bit + PAE is about 6Gb ram (i think) max for 64bit is 4 exabtytes [12:51] aneesh1, have you even read my question? I was talking about GDM themes! [12:52] JuJuBee: You might want to try chroot? [12:52] !chroot | JuJuBee [12:52] JuJuBee: chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) [12:52] !fsck [12:52] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [12:52] !fsck.vfat [12:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about fsck.vfat [12:52] hello [12:53] how am i able to respond in private?

[12:55] in avidemux preferences, I have dmix for ALSA device but sound cannot be played back. what do I need to put there? [12:55] daniel82lam, it definitly sounds as though it might just be a calibration issue I dont have a touchscreen here to test it though so you may be on your own with googling on this unless someone pops up here with touch scren [12:55] aneesh1, but you can't change gdm themes goind to "apparence", there you can change your "desktop" theme [12:55] JuJuBee: You have the .deb ? [12:55] oversize: X is supposed to autoconfigure. i have several systems that dont need a xorg.conf at all. [12:55] aneesh1, before the new gdm, you've to go to system -> administration -> login screen [12:55] leaf-sheep: http://paste.ubuntu.com/299743/ these are directions I tried to follow.... and no not a .deb it uses autopackage [12:55] coz_, alright... let me test this calibration, hope that settle this === alberto is now known as Guest58035 [12:55] Elena is a light, portable screen usually circular and supported on a core 2 duo 2.54 am i "really" benefiting by using 64 bit ubuntu.

How would I do it so that whatever I type after my alias would substitute for SOURCE?

[12:57] oversize: ive wondered that [12:57] oversize: in theory you install the driver. and restart X.

[13:00] daniel82lam, mm I not sure about that one :) if slackware had better support for this then I might say yes if the touchscreen and tablet functions are real important [13:00] I know this is a noobish question, but here goes. I'm trying to cp a file from one directory to another, but it says that it can't open the file for reading because permission is denied. How might one remedy this?

[13:04] ActionParsnip1 Ok. [13:04] athlan: Because my message contains your nickname. [13:04] athlan: Do you have network-manager-vpnc installed?

But for some reason, all my profiles were deleted 3 days ago. [13:06] even beryl [13:06] daniel82lam, well dont worry about it...compiz 0.8.4 is just recently released and it is stable [13:06] Guest58035: ls -a shows hidden directories [13:06] back 7-8 years, there's not about compiz (: [13:06] daniel82lam, if you install ubuntu karmic 9.10 you s hould get 0.8.4 compiz by default [13:06] nothing* [13:06] Oh, ok. Excuse my ignorance. [13:07] leaf-sheep: i re-imported the profile, andsince then, it just "does as if it was connected" [13:07] daniel82lam, well beryl and compiz joined together. it is much more reliable than beryl was [13:08] what i understand beryl is the rolling cube and compiz, effects [13:08] ActionParsnip1 Is this correct? ----> sudo rename \.mozilla \firefox ?

[13:46] I need to adjust my monitor position without using the monitor inbuilt keys ....any idea guys ? [13:46] lunaphyte_: Use pool.sks-keyservers.net [13:46] 0/ Vox [13:46] psinetic, try installing xine [13:47] gamerx, sudo apt-get install xine ? [13:47] psinetic, no hard trying i would use synaptic tho [13:47] psinetic, harm* [13:47] Why does Oppenoffice run when I click on aMsn link to hotmail? [13:47] ah ok [13:47] @trap2 what is the display card you are using? I mean nvidia.. [13:48] mohan1, nvidia has a software for it I know. But I am using intel inbuilt graphics card for 845GLLY [13:48] bbl [13:48] grawity: thanks. it seems to be doing the same thing. what protocol is used for this? i'm wondering if a firewall may be causing problems. === marjomercado is now known as marjo [13:49] @trap please be patience I will give terminal command to change screen settings. [13:49] lunaphyte_: HKP - basically HTTP on port 11371. If pool doesn't work, also try keyserver.noreply.org [13:49] mohan1, my resolutions and refresh rates are all same and ok for both the OS [13:49] lunaphyte_: keyserver.ubuntu.com is down very often, don't worry about that one.

[13:52] mohan1, When I boot from linux to XP or vice versa, my display is slided and I have to use the monitor OSD buttons to place it correctly on position. But when I place it correctly for one OS I lose the position in the other OS :( [13:52] lunaphyte_: I think keyserver.noreply.org and some others support port 80 too. (The HKP protocol is basically HTTP with predefined path names.) === Christoph_vW1 is now known as Chris_vW [13:52] is xine a media player itself or is it a plugin to other media players? [13:52] lunaphyte_: So try http://keyserver.noreply.org/ and get the key. [13:52] trap2: last i saw somthing like that - i had the refresh rates different on each os.. but i only saw that issue with VGA CRT monitors. Never LCD, and never dvi [13:53] psinetic: xine is a media player library [13:53] xine is a free [13:53] multimedia player. It plays back CDs, DVDs, and VCDs. [13:53] oh, my bad [13:54] grawity: thanks, i'll see what i can figure out. [13:54] xine uses the xine library proberly. :) [13:54] @trap2 you have to save the screen settings after you made changes xorg [13:54] It also decodes multimedia files like AVI, MOV, WMV, and MP3 from local disk drives, [13:54] >_> should i just click every little box in synaptic then? cuz i have no idea what i'm doing in here. i'm too used to windows .exe packages that just install it all for you. [13:54] @trap2 still I am looking to solve your problem. [13:54] psinetic: or learn some linux.. Ive missed the original question. :) [13:54] psinetic: sudo apt-get install xine-ui [13:54] Dr_Willis, yes CRT. I don't see any software to use the same modeline in XP [13:55] Hi! I have two disks in my server, and I would like to make them show as one. They dont have to be raided, but could i LVM them together during the installation of the OS? [13:55] how can i create an image of my drive for backup? [13:55] psinetic: you will find that reading the output of 'sudo apt-cache search xine' to find out which package to install [13:55] psinetic: use the search feature to search for xine. Now why you WANT xine - ive no idea [13:55] psinetic: vlc is good, 'sudo apt-get install vlc' [13:55] Dr_Willis, i'm trying to play a dvd, ActionParsnip1 helped me figure out how to do that, and now i realized it's in Danish language and i need to enable the english subbies. [13:55] I perfer vlc, or mplayer to xine.. but most all of them are better then totem. [13:55] i have vlc, it won't play [13:55] neither will totem [13:55] Boohbah, no, vlc is very bad for ubuntu [13:55] no fullscreen controllers? [13:55] qetuR: not for me [13:56] i mean, hey? [13:56] psinetic: there is the !DVD factoid/web site with some info you may want to read. [13:56] qetuR: your experience may vary [13:56] you never have fullscreen? [13:56] Dr_Willis, by the way I have choose this modeline in ubuntu after days of hit and try to prevent flicker so I dont want to mess up again with xorg.conf [13:56] yeah someone sent that already [13:56] i already read it, no help [13:56] qetuR: yes, i can get vlc fullscreen [13:56] qetuR: thats not really an issue any more. :) vlc 1 in the ppa have it.. and 9.10 has them. [13:56] @trap2 Try this command and get back to me. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [13:57] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats [13:57] Dr_Willis, really? [13:57] * Dr_Willis just uses the keyboard shorts to controll things in fullscreen.. [13:57] qetuR: yes. really. :) [13:57] Something similar occurs when I try to set mythtv to fullscreen [13:57] psinetic: apt:ubuntu-restricted-extras?section=universe?section=multiverse [13:57] aa, cool, noticed now [13:57] Taskbars are visible. [13:57] then, VLCs good! :D [13:57] qetuR: someone was asking about a month ago.. and i found the PPA repos for vlc 1.0+ that had a lot of tweaks.. as far as ive been able to tell it was the VLC guys that moved the controlls arounhd. Not ubuntu. [13:57] Hi! I have two disks in my server, and I would like to make them show as one. They dont have to be raided, but could i LVM them together during the installation of the OS? [13:58] boohbah, gave me an error >_> [13:58] I can't run it in fullscreen mode [13:58] @Boohbah Restricted format only applicable for Fresh ubuntu. [13:58] qetuR: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem [13:58] mohan1, but I think It will just replace my custom modeline in file xorg.conf with the default one thats flickering [13:59] qetuR: i haven't personally tried that [13:59] Theres diffrent ways these players can do 'fullscreen' also. Its amazing how tweakable vlc and mplayer are. [13:59] i'm seriously about to just pop the dvd into the playstation three and say screw it >_> [13:59] @trap2 save your screen settings to xorg.conf that's it. [13:59] psinetic: i just use dvdrip to rip them to avi and then put the disk away... [13:59] psinetic: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:59] is there anyone use qq here?

[16:42] Pato101: people in #ubuntu-irc might be able to give you further indication about whom to contact about it. [16:42] mNotIntelligent: dual boot. [16:43] Pato101, kind of the opposite of the saying "what happens in Mexico stays in Mexico" [16:43] <^mNotIntelligent> mfpb221, okey [16:43] Pato101: rt@ubuntu.com would be the person to contact [16:43] Halitech, http://pastebin.com/m1fd8d09f [16:43] hi all. Just booted karmic on a Thinkpad x200... no sound and no vertical trackpoint scrolling... any suggestions? [16:43] how can i customize the list view in gnome. i need to remove the alternate background colors in the listview rows. is it possible to make it all white? [16:43] what happens in Mexico.. winds up on youtube [16:43] ^mNotIntelligent: sorry that wasn't clear immediately. [16:43] i need something like foobar for ubuntu [16:43] rafferty, #ubuntu+1 for karmic [16:43] microtech, got that right [16:43] docmax_: Nothing like it exists. Trust me, I've looked. [16:43] IdleOne: except they're exceptionally unlikely to reply on that address, in my experience :) [16:43] lol [16:43] <^mNotIntelligent> mfpb221, so you have spare partition but thats not being shown by ubuntu, is that the case? [16:44] docmax_: I use Rhythmbox, which is sorta similar, just not as light-weight. [16:44] ^mNotIntelligent: i don't think so. i want the ubuntu installer to make a partition for me. [16:44] docmax_: Muse, QuodLibet, and mpd. [16:44] E3b, is it formatted in ext4? [16:45] hi all [16:45] ^mNotIntelligent: i thought that was the way that the installer did it by default - boot it up, it partitions, it installs. am i mistaken? [16:45] Halitech, I dont know.. just buy it [16:45] Halitech, never use it before [16:45] what is an advantages between ext3 and ext4 [16:45] i need a light-weight mp3 player [16:45] docmax_: mpd. [16:45] perfekt player for me is billy on windows [16:45] E3b, reason I'm asking is the last line ... [119335.585135] VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem on dev sdc. [16:45] !mpd | docmax_ [16:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about mpd [16:45] :\ [16:45] something like foobar or billy [16:46] E3b, what version of ubuntu are you using? [16:46] mpd is console based [16:46] dont want this [16:46] docmax_: it's just a server. you add clients to it. [16:46] <^mNotIntelligent> mfpb221, there are two ways. either you have a raw space not used by windows that can be detected by linux, or a linux will ask your permission to free up some space in your existing partition . I guess you're talking about the first one, right? [16:46] how can i change the alternating colors in the listview control? for example in nautilus' list view and pidgin's buddy list. [16:46] Halitech, 9.04 [16:46] Halitech: I have a pastebin for you... http://paste.ubuntu.com/299847/ [16:46] E3b, can you open partition editor and see if it sees it?

[16:47] thinkertinker: OSE doesn't support USB additions. [16:47] thinkertinker, ose has no usb support [16:47] James_T_Kirk, can you paste your sources.list file?

[17:12] <^mNotIntelligent> !ask | Eow [17:12] Eow: 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. :-) [17:12] <^mNotIntelligent> roddy, good evening [17:12] I'm burning the new 9.10 ISO to CD-RW but brasero (ubuntu 9.04) seems stuck on 'creating image checksum'. It's working but never finishes, time is going up. [17:13] Ubuntu rocks! === Strife1989 is now known as Strife89 [17:13] Hi [17:13] Well, I seem to have Installed Ubuntu, as I don't feel Vista's for me (and i'm not someone who has money, student) - I've used it before, but i'm wondering how you can install stuff on it, i'm not very familiar with Linux core.. [17:13] MaT-dg: it can take some time to do a checksum. Personally i use unetbootin to make bootable flash media. (or usb creator tool) [17:13] i can't use Innodb in mysql on ubuntu....can somebody help me? [17:13] use the add/remove programs [17:13] Eow, add/remove or synaptic [17:13] MaT-dg: now i got Grub2 on a flash drive booting my Ubuntu 9.10 ISO file. :) [17:13] is there any way to install ubuntu or any linux distro on a pc without cd player? [17:14] How to edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom [17:14] ? [17:14] Well, programs that do not exist in the add remove programs, such as a game called Puzzle Pirates.. [17:14] mac, yes unetbootin or debootstrap [17:14] <^mNotIntelligent> roddy, can you be more specific [17:14] mac: flash drive, net boot, perhaps other ways [17:14] /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom === Strife89 is now known as Strife1989 [17:14] how to edit this file? [17:14] Dr_Willis: is it okay to cancel the image checksum? [17:14] EoW, maybe synaptic? [17:14] <^mNotIntelligent> mac, yeh its possible [17:14] Eow: If the program comes as a .deb package, use that. (Double-click the file, or run sudo dpkg -i file.deb) [17:14] MaT-dg: proberly. but i rarely7 use that tool. === Strife1989 is now known as Strife89 [17:15] a931bw: sudo vi /path/to/file [17:15] a931bw: is one way [17:15] Eow: Quite often, compiling from source is needed. [17:15] vi? [17:15] lol use gedit if it's more comfortable [17:15] * boknoy has got to stop with these lols... [17:15] a931bw: vi is an editor.. use what you like [17:16] Dr_Willis: Suggesting vi on #ubuntu? You're a cruel person. [17:16] a931bw: youa re trying to login as root.. and you dont know what vi is... thats scary :) [17:16] EoW... puzzle pirates. Isn't that a Java game from the internet? [17:16] Dr [17:16] i need cause of one game [17:16] Dr_Willis, maybe he's an emacs person. :D [17:16] And if not? It says you opent the terminal and do sudo get apt something lalala... >.< [17:16] ok [17:16] trying now [17:17] * ^mNotIntelligent rotflol [17:17] had to quit to use vi? :) [17:17] <^mNotIntelligent> boknoy, quite possible ...lol [17:17] hey, what package should i install to have pppd ? [17:17] boknoy: i get the impression a reinstall will be in his future soon [17:17] i need GNOME shell .. where to get it from [17:18] Dr_Willis: I mean, vim at least supports arrow keys. vi doesn't. [17:18] !pdf [17:18] hahaha after all, I am a vim man. [17:18] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [17:18] grawity: vi is vim on the default ubuntu [17:18] MostafaSheshtawy, that's experimental software i believe [17:18] MostafaSheshtawy, sudo apt-get isntall gnome-shell , be sure to disable compiz befor starting it [17:18] grawity: and vim-full Handles the arrows. :) the light vim dosent. [17:18] Dr_Willis: But it might be vi elsewhere. [17:18] micro: jusut that simple [17:18] ? [17:18] grawity: real men dont use arrows! :) [17:19] im on 9.10, its beta and i added all the sources in /etc/apt/sources.list [17:19] and i got it [17:19] Dr_Willis: Real men use WASD? [17:19] Dr_Willis: good that i'm a woman then, because i use the arrow keys [17:19] I liked vim-full, only it doesn't look like it exists anymore... [17:19] micro: #ubuntu+1 [17:19] grawity: if we told him nano.. he wouldent know what ^x ment [17:19] !info vim-full [17:19] vim-full (source: vim): Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor (transitional package).

[17:19] :) [17:19] boknoy: The day vim stops existing, is the day world collapses. [17:19] Dr_Willis: starting to think the ISO is corrupted.. doesn't take +15mins for a checksum and unetbootin is stuck at 5% for several minutes now ;) [17:19] <^mNotIntelligent> maco, grawity , Dr_Willis : LOl [17:19] micro: couldn't find package gnome-shell [17:20] Dr_Willis, wait, that's in Debian. cuz I tried to apt-get install vim-full and they seem to have renamed it. [17:20] Dr_Willis, boknoy: youre right, not in karmic [17:20] btw, does any of you know if There's a program (like dreamweaver) to use on Ubuntu? [17:20] Eow, for editing html? bluefish [17:20] boknoy: Yes, and php.. [17:20] Eow, nvu komposer [17:21] Eow: I'd suggest learning either vim or emacs one day. [17:21] why don' t you use pico? [17:21] xD [17:21] mac: Because it has been replaced by nano years ago? [17:21] iunno if bluefish does php though [17:21] Halitech: Thank you =) [17:21] Thanks Grawity [17:21] how to get GNOME SHELL everyone ?> [17:21] Hello Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty9) here with web browsers Firefox 3.0 (default), Firefox 3.5 (Shiretoko), Epiphany, Dillo, w3m... Question: Is there anybody who can use Ubuntu + OpenDNS + OpenDNS Shortcuts? I use OpenDNS as an DNS server but can not use its shotcuts service whatever I try to do. [17:21] or worse, ed... or the worst of all, echo! [17:21] boknoy: Or a magnetized needle. Or butterflies. [17:22] butterfiles... haha xkcd. classic [17:22] boknoy: yes it is experimental , do you know where to get it from ? [17:23] MostafaSheshtawy, let me check if there's a deb floating somewhere [17:24] can't seem to find one, maybe you have to build it from source [17:25] * ^mNotIntelligent "Out for dinner, will be back in 30 mins " [17:25] there's a guide here, http://anotherubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/11/installing-gnome-shell-in-ubuntu.html [17:25] !away | ^mNotIntelligent [17:25] ^mNotIntelligent: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users.

See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [17:25] hola [17:25] hello [17:25] marenostrum: yep.. all the time [17:26] folks, i think am gonna just go ahead and GIVE UP and repair Ubuntu with LiveCD [17:26] can anyone show me how to do this? [17:26] James_T_Kirk, depends... how broken is it? [17:26] marenostrum: are you using a router? and did you change the dns references in the router or only in your machine? [17:27] qScunizzi From the machine only [17:27] @Scunizzi From the machine only [17:28] marenostrum: you have to change the references in your router [17:28] boknoy: apt-get -f install wont work... it keeps giving me dependency issues [17:29] err... the unsolvable kinds? might have to reinstall [17:29] boknoy: can you show me what to do? step by step, with the LiveCD? [17:29] James_T_Kirk, do you have the kubuntu desktop and ubuntu desktops both installed? [17:30] @Scunizzi Thank, I will do this but do you know why? No documentation says that it is a must. And at the time being I can use opendns as a DNS server. [17:30] marenostrum: not sure.. it's just the way it works for me. [17:30] hmm... do you still have some space? I'm thinking of installing ubuntu in a new partition, copy files from the broken one to that one, and wipe the old one [17:30] Halitech: just Ubuntu... not sure about Kubuntu [17:31] boknoy: i think i do have some, but i may have an issue of partitioning... not very good at it [17:31] lol [17:31] @Scunizzi Thanks a lot. By the way what is your browser exactly? [17:32] what does this error mean? [17:32] James_T_Kirk, haha I did the same thing once, only partitioning wasn't my problem. I screwed up with /boot [17:32] James_T_Kirk, what about using the live cd to copy important files to something like dropbox or adrive and then doing your reinstall? [17:32] errors were encountered while processing /var/cache/archives/libgnomekbd3_2.26.0-l_i386.deb [17:33] and this [17:33] How do you get Ubuntu to connect to an AOSS network? [17:33] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [17:33] is there any way to install ubuntu or any linux distro on a pc without cd player? [17:33] I think that means it's uninstallable [17:34] mac: use a flash drive [17:34] maco, he doesn't have a usb port [17:34] or a nic [17:34] boknoy: do you know how to repair an existing Ubuntu installation, WITH the LiveCD? [17:34] is xen like virutalbox? [17:34] How do you get Ubuntu to connect to an AOSS network? [17:34] and can you run xen on ubuntu? [17:35] AOSS? [17:35] gpled: 1) A little like that, yes. 2) Yes, it runs on Ubuntu. [17:35] Halitech: you here, bro? help out... [17:35] hmm... might be worth a shot: erase everything but /home, then fix it with the livecd by copyin [17:35] Does anybody know if there is a chat for Perl? [17:35] grawity: is xen more stable then virualbox? [17:35] (AirStation One-Touch Secure System) [17:35] on ubuntu === Until_It_Sleeps is now known as UIS|Class [17:36] gpled: Both are stable enough, but they are used for different purposes. [17:36] Gibby: #perl [17:36] hi alll [17:36] James_T_Kirk, but that's kinda like reinstalling anyway... [17:36] James_T_Kirk, trying to come up with something but not much luck ... [17:36] boknoy: does the LiveCD automatically repair an existing installation? [17:36] i need help [17:36] gpled: virtualbox has been ultra stable for me for the last year [17:36] Halitech: what do u have in mind? [17:36] Like WIndows' recovery console/ recovery mode? I don't think so. [17:36] whos know what i can instaal virtual box in command line [17:36] gpled: but I use the .deb for ubuntu from their site.. [17:36] Scunizi: xp pro often has to go through 4 or so bluescreens before starting. not sure why [17:37] sohrab, apt-get install virtualbox [17:37] sohrab, sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose [17:37] guys..what's the best messaging soft ?

[17:37] with sudo [17:37] sohrab, with sudo and its -ose [17:37] its to bad. only reason i run it, is so i can connect to exchange 2007 [17:37] how can i see the other version i mean cach command [17:37] gpled: no problems for me.. are you using the -ose version from the repos? if so you might try the version direct from virtualbox [17:37] virtualbox-ose is in virtualbox anyway... that's how I installed mine [17:38] Halitech: hmmm.... [17:38] guys..what's the best messaging soft ? [17:38] !info virtualbox [17:38] Halitech: that COULD work... [17:38] Package virtualbox does not exist in jaunty [17:38] gpled: have you tried the exchange connector for evolution?

[17:39] fine for me too [17:39] boknoy, what version of ubuntu [17:39] jaunty [17:39] Scunizi: i gave up on evolution. had high hopes for DavMail. but it does not work for me [17:39] it doesnt error but its has command when you want see other package i forgot that [17:40] the package name is virtualbox-ose [17:40] like sudo apt-cache :this not work in my machine [17:40] sohrab, apt-cache search packagename [17:40] apt said "Note, selecting virtualbox-ose instead of virtualbox" and installed -ose. IMO, i'd rathe not type an extra 4 characters [17:40] boknoy: 5 if you count the space [17:40] with or without sudo i want to learn os [17:40] Scunizi: sorry if you already answered this, but the text is going by fast. is their a ubuntu package at the virtualbox site? [17:41] sohrab, with that one no sudo needed [17:41] gpled: yes.. actually they have a repo you can list in synaptic if you want.. [17:41] sudo is pretty much an ubuntu feature [17:41] boknoy: it isn't [17:41] err is invalid operation virtual [17:41] Scunizi: thanks. i will look into it [17:41] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/ sohrab [17:41] ...or bug depending on you're choice :) [17:42] gpled: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [17:42] anyone know why cairo-dock is showing a black bar fo he background rather than being transparent? [17:42] boknoy: just the way sudo is used in *buntu is.... different [17:42] llutz, okay then [17:42] llutz: diffrent from what === heroid_ is now known as heroid-computa [17:43] zash, different from distros who assume you are responsible enough [17:43] zash: different from all other distros (using no root account and base all admin-ops on sudo) [17:43] So... what do you all think?

Would an Intel integrated card (X4500) be good enough, or should I upgrade to a dedicated card? If I should do that, does ATI or NVidia have better Linux support? [17:48] slm [17:49] icehawk78: right now.. nvidia.. [17:49] icehawk78, no idea with ATI, but nvidia seems to have good support as for the intel thing, I guess it depends. my netbook's gma doesn't have a lot of problem with most videos [17:49] Hi, i have a gigabit NIC with problems, how can i get the kernel moulde name so i can look if the driver is the problem?

[17:50] Sup #Ubuntu [17:50] i meant network, not networking [17:50] but this in the that group i dont knoe [17:50] know [17:50] boknoy: Well, it's not a netbook, it's a desktop. So the processor/ram will be higher than that. [17:51] I guess so, but I can't say anything about hd videos on intel hardware [17:51] so.. no one knows about grub2 on root partition (logical partition) ? [17:51] shastry, ok let me try === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [17:51] Karmic ... samba shares, can't see windows PCs anymore on the network, and the windows PCs can't see my shares anymore, anyone encounter the same problem?

[17:52] Question: I'm a noob at audio in linux. I just set up mpd on my desktop (Jaunty) and it works fine, but ever since, I've lost audio for Flash in Firefox. Any ideas? Not sure where to even start troubleshooting this... [17:53] shastry, hmm.. what exactly for? do you want grub-legacy to chainload to grub2? [17:53] houn_: tell mpd to use alsa default driver [17:53] Excellent! Thanks, Ubottu! [17:53] boknoy: yep [17:54] shastry: I believe I already did, let me check. [17:54] houn_: is it possible that your sound card isn't sharing your sound card (I.E. are you playing audio at the time you are testing flash on ff?) [17:54] iunno why you would do that and I don't know how to do it either.... I don't have much experience with grub2 after accidentally deleteing /boot [17:54] Err, question [17:54] Ubuntu 8.04 fresh install... when I try to play Cube the sound is all crackly and the display flashes... [17:54] Any ideas? [17:54] shastry: I did uncomment the Alsa section of the config for mpd, so it should be using alsa [17:54] boknoy: because i'm testing 9.10 and i dont want it to toich my existing gMBR [17:55] shastry: I'm using ALSA and my audio refuses to share, but this computer shares audio in windows. Any ideas? [17:55] daevski: If I stop mpd playback, I still get nothing from Flash. [17:55] hmm... why not add 9.10 to your menu.lst? [17:55] houn_: sudo lsof /dev/snd/* [17:55] houn_: Just a thought... that's my problem right now :-p [17:55] help?? [17:55] but if you install a new kernel in 9.10, it won't reflect in /boot [17:55] daevski: Can't, I'm configuring it before I buy it, online.

[17:56] nixot: google it? ubuntu forums? [17:56] daevski: what do you mean sharing sound? === mickael is now known as Jokeur [17:57] shastry: So, pulseaudio IS the problem, or I should set mpd to use Pulse?

[17:59] daevski, , well your apps are hogging the sound card. I believe this was a bug since hardy. [18:00] llutz, i mean, it is not in hardy (8.04.3 server) or jaunt (Desktop) [18:00] llutz, where can i find it? [18:00] how should I go about fixing this? [18:00] Nixot, low specs?

[18:01] and a ATI radion HD 3850 [18:01] daevski: google it. i only know how to set pulseaudio to use dmix, not how to enable dmix globally [18:01] and I think 1GB of RAM [18:01] maco: k, thanks :) [18:01] celephais: sudo apt-get install ethtool [18:01] are you using Ati's drivers? [18:01] Yes... [18:01] of course, the ones that immediately appeared as "restricted drivers" [18:02] hmm... odd everything acts this way? [18:02] anyone here familiar with the wubi release cycle? [18:02] They worked perfectly, and they let me have wobbly windows :D [18:02] just games then? [18:02] So, the mpd that ships with Jaunty does not have pulse support built in, I take it? [18:02] Anyone know off-hand how I can check ALSA version?

[18:04] daevski, nvm, i forgot the package name for alsa [18:04] Nixot: id like to installit from the hard disk or a virtual drive, i could use a netowork too if i could [18:04] dreamy, Nixot: Windows is not on-topic here. Please ask in ##windows [18:04] k.. [18:04] boknoy: well that's what I was looking for, thanks. [18:05] daevski, np [18:05] boknoy: so, what do you think may be the problem? [18:05] honestly, I don't know... you're drivers seem to work well, the cpu looks lke it could handle it, you're not lacking ram either. [18:06] Bah. [18:06] Ok, evidently NOTHING has audio except for mpd [18:06] Even with mpd stopped [18:06] houn_, to get audio back, kill mpd [18:06] boknoy: I stopped the daemon. [18:07] what about the mpd client? [18:07] boknoy: Or is an actual kill needed? [18:07] not stop as in stop audio playing, but stop as in the process ceases to exist. [18:07] boknoy: /etc/init.d/mpd stop [18:07] Yeah, I know what you meant. ;) [18:07] OK boknoy.... [18:07] I'll have a look around... thanks anywa [18:08] y [18:08] bye [18:08] houn_, haha maybe it still hasn't released the sound card [18:08] anyone have luck with Sound on Thinkpads with karmic? [18:09] rafferty, #ubuntu+1 for karmic === clay_ is now known as ClayG [18:09] j #php === oliver__ is now known as saftsack [18:09] hi all. I have some file (songs files) that are in Hebrew. Ubuntu won't recognize the Hebrew writing and will write Gibrish instead. I'm pretty sure it's an encoding issue, how can I fix this? [18:09] boknoy: any way to force a release? [18:09] Could someone help me with my broken package that is preventing me from using most all aptitude commands? [18:10] Also, this is kinda lame. [18:10] apt-get -f install isn't helping, by the way [18:10] houn_, sorry, I don't know why it still hasn't even done it after killing mpd [18:11] llutz, from ethtool it's look all right, the only difference is that on the first ( Hardy) Port is Twisted Pair, on the second(Jaunty) is MII, what is the difference? [18:11] ANYONE no a good software to capture and convert video/audio from video4linux??? [18:12] maco: I already have all kinds of packages installed that claim to do what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm running 9.04, should this still be occuring? Seems unlikely that dmix would fix it. [18:12] I'm having trouble getting my logitech Quickcam communicate to work with ubuntu... anyone have any ideas? [18:12] getting late... it's nice chatting with ya folks. [18:13] Awesome. If I restart pulseaudio, it works again, until I turn mpd back on. [18:13] daevski: i think if you jsut go up to step 5 http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin with the asoundrc, it should work [18:13] hello, i changed my .bashrc and make PS1="\$" why when i'm root it show $ angain istead of #? [18:13] hello. I need some help with virtualbox. I keep trying to install the guest additions and the download keeps timing out. I've tried downloading manually, and nothing works [18:13] ANYONE no a good software to capture and convert video/audio from video4linux??? [18:14] asfjio -> root's .bashrc ? [18:14] So, anyone have any suggestions on pulseaudio replacement? [18:14] Just alsa? [18:14] Weird... "digikam -h" (or any other flag) gives " [18:14] syntax error near unexpected token [18:14] could some try their digikam flags to see if its a bug? [18:14] I know someone who has a wubi install and everytime they try and boot into ubuntu it drops into busybox, this is because windows wasn't shutdown properly, the disk wasn't cleanly unmounted, which is what ubuntu says before dropping to bb, what's the mount command and subsequent commands to get ubuntu working again? Much appreciated [18:15] rascal911: go into windows, unmount the drives and reboot [18:15] rascal911 -> have the windows shutdown properly and may as well reinstall wubi [18:15] n8tuser, windows is bsod'ing, even after 'repair' [18:15] anyone know why vbox guest additions would keep timing out? I don't have any problems downloading anything else, but I CAN"T download guest additions. and I can't share files until I get it working... please help [18:15] rascal911: then boot back into windows, the drives will remount.. then shutdown/reboot properly [18:16] rascal911 -> then i dont know what repair tools windows have.. sorry [18:16] n8tuser: yes /root/.bashrc? [18:16] ANYONE no a good software to capture and convert video/audio from video4linux??? [18:16] shipleythump: what's the host machine running and what's the guest manchine running? [18:16] mlm, what kinda of video is it? [18:16] asfjio -> yes.. and use the roots environment when you su [18:16] anybody knows how can I activate USB in sources.list? [18:16] host> ubuntu jaunty guest> winXP [18:16] hi all friend asking me if it's posable to "pause" a shutdown by placing a script within inside a runlevel script file. then preform a backup. and then shutdown ? [18:17] i am asking for him because he dont speek english [18:17] shipleythump: i didnt have any timeout issues but cant you install the guest package from the repos manually? [18:17] fanno -> why not backup first then shutdown? === _trucMuche is now known as trucMuche [18:17] mlm: maybe try pacpl it can convert most audio/video types. [18:17] mattgyver, no matter how I try to download it, it times out [18:18] shipleythump: so ubuntu is having the timeout issue? [18:18] n8tuser: eather would work but he would like it to happen when he press shutdown button if it can be (not reboot funtion) [18:18] mattgyver, yes, seems that way, but i'm not having trouble with anything else.. just that one file [18:18] shipleythump: you don't "download" it.. in the guest machine look in hte upper left corner at the menu item "Devices".. [18:18] shipleythump: I would venture to find the .deb elsewhere and install with dpkg [18:18] shipleythump: then at the bottom of that menu is install guest additions. tag that.. [18:19] HA! [18:19] Fixed. [18:19] which version of ubuntu should i download to install on my N810 armel architecture computer? [18:19] fanno -> in nix world, its not a good idea to just press a button to shutdown, lots of system settings needs to be synced before shutting down, buffers to be flushed [18:19] daevski: You were having pulse/mpd audio issues too, right? [18:19] Scunizi, i tried that first, and 3rd and about 20 different times after that [18:19] shipleythump: it mounts a "virtual cdrom" in your window instance.. you'll find it in "My Computer" [18:19] !armel | n810debian [18:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about armel [18:19] Scunizi, i know what it does.. but it won't download [18:19] houn_ yeah.... but I think I just fixed it... [18:19] Scunizi: are you sure you dont need it installed first to do so? [18:20] n8tuser: i use sudo su and sudo su - the same result - $ not $ [18:20] mattgyver: I have a dazzle DVD recorder hooked to ubuntu capturing the video and audio from a vcr through VLC. I used video4linux to get everything working. Now I just am looking for a software that can capture and convert the video/audio to other formats like .mov .avi etc... Any ideas [18:20] n8tuser: *not # [18:20] n8tuser: sorry i should have been more spesific, i ment "shutdown" from the meny's inside nix and "reboot" [18:20] Could someone help me with my broken package that is preventing me from using most all aptitude commands? Apt-get -f install isn't helping, by the way. [18:20] shipleythump: mattgyver you don't download anything.. you mount the virtual cdrom of guest extension and then right mouse click and choose autorun or some such [18:20] mlm, look into pacpl, its extemely powerful and easy to use [18:20] daevski: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mpd/+bug/192735 [18:20] Post 15 [18:20] can anybody recomend any apps that will completely sync all the drives into a RAID array? [18:20] asfjio -> using su - root does not give you that? [18:20] Scunizi, but you have to have the .iso before you can mount it [18:20] maco, houn_, boknoy: it was just XMMS hogging the sound by using OSS by default :( Sorry for all the rukus! [18:20] Now multiple apps can use the sound card. [18:20] n8tuser: thats why i was thinking maybe a script could be added to the "runlevel" folders and execure a script when that happens [18:21] Software raid array that is [18:21] shipleythump: no.. it's part of the normal vbox install. [18:21] daevski: Heh. I used to love xmms back in the day. [18:21] Scunizi, well vbox isn't seeing it [18:21] houn_: what do you use now? [18:21] fanno -> sure one can add a script, i would do it in where the nic interface is shutdown.. [18:21] Scunizi: I think it only comes if you have downloaded the guest additions package which is what is timing out for him [18:21] Scunizi, so it asks if it should download it. so I tell it yes, and it times out always at 22% [18:21] which version of ubuntu should i download to install on my N810 armel architecture computer? [18:21] n8tuser: no. [18:21] mattgyver: that only does audio right? [18:21] n8tuser: also if i added a script with a "loop" to wait untill the backup is finished ? [18:22] houn_: I just got sondbird for my iPod and it plays audio pretty well. (still an alpha release of it, so it screwed up my iPod playlists though lol) [18:22] hy how can i arping all my 255 ips [18:22] mlm, yes it does only do audio [18:22] shipleythump: so when you go to Devices>Install Guest Additions.. then go to "My Computer" in Windows.. and look for the cdrom labeled Vbox Guest additions.. you don't see anything? [18:22] daevski: Right now I'm running mpd at home, stream to icecast, which I connect to with mpd locally. [18:22] :D [18:22] shipleythump: have you actually install xp yet into the virtual machine? [18:22] fanno yes, look at the script for making firefox load via tmpfs, the script they have backsup before doing things.. [18:22] Scunizi, when i go to device>install guest additions, it tells me it can't find it, then it tries to download it. and times out [18:22] mlm, brainfart you need video and audio [18:22] houn_: sounds kewl, I'll look into it :-p [18:22] n810debian, that is a tablet? [18:23] bazhang: yes [18:23] shipleythump: have you actually installed xp in the virtual machine? [18:23] asfjio -> i dont recall if root uses .bashrc, perhaps its another, look in /etc/profile [18:23] mattgyver: I'm trying to convert these VHS tapes im watching on VLS to avi, mov or something... any ideas?? [18:23] Scunizi, yes, i have installed xp [18:23] Scunizi, and it's working fine.. except that it's winblows [18:23] Òóò Ðóññêèå åñòü?:) [18:23] anyone know which webcams work best with ubuntu? [18:23] have to go, be back later [18:23] daevski: I use ncmpc (ncurses mpd client) to adjust my playlist remotely, so I basically just stream all my music to either work, or to my G1 phone when I'm out and about. [18:23] shipleythump: did you install the vbox version from the repos? [18:23] n810debian, the search terms ubuntu n810 gives links to some from maemo.org [18:24] yes [18:24] shipleythump: hang on.. [18:24] !ru | yasezan [18:24] yasezan: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [18:24] Scunizi, yes. it's not the latest edition of vbox, but it's from the repo [18:24] Scunizi, it's version 2.1.4 === cp is now known as Guest45887 [18:25] hello all [18:25] fanno, i think you can add your backup script to /etc/rc6.d [18:25] fanno, so it will execute every time the computer is rebooted/shutdown [18:25] houn_: Very kewl. I also have a G1 [18:25] can anyone here help me set up my mpd so that i cud listen to music on another laptop, i have got PANU setup (bluetooth-connection) [18:25] usser: is there way to detect if the it is shutdown OR reboot ? [18:26] shipleythump: k.. in Ubuntu go to System>Admin>Synaptic package manager and search for Virtualbox.. you'll see the guest additions in there.. install those and then do what I mentioned previously.. Vbox's current release is vs 3.x.x and is available for Ubuntu from their site.. it also supports usb and there's no seperate download for the guest additions [18:26] salam [18:26] :D [18:26] Scunizi, sweet thank you [18:26] fanno, /etc/rc0.d is runlevel for halt [18:27] !mpd [18:27] fanno, http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html [18:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about mpd [18:27] Scunizi, why is 2.1.4 the latest that shows up in my synaptic [18:28] shipleythump: Ubuntu doesn't upgrade each program to the latest as it comes out.. it might cause breakage and they simply don't have time to do that for the several releases they support at one time.. [18:28] having problems installing a new kernel image, it says it can't find /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf, when I look at that file, i see a broken link to /lib/oss-compat/linux. does anyone else have that file located in /lib/oss-compat/linux? [18:28] are there any safe bets on what bluetooth dongle to buy? on google, I found a lot of threads with users having problems with bluetooth in ubuntu (and other distros) [18:28] n8tuser: there is some kind of case (in /etc/profile) if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then PS1='# ' else PS1='$ ' fi . i can't understand why this is not working. anyway i give up. thanks for the answers indeed. [18:28] Scunizi, yeah, but we're talking about 2.1.4 all the way to 3.3 that's a pretty big leap for something like this [18:29] !info virtualbox-ose karmic | shipleythump [18:29] shipleythump: virtualbox-ose (source: virtualbox-ose): x86 virtualization solution - base binaries. In component universe, is optional.

[18:29] shipleythump: We're talking about thousand of the packages -- Not all of them get updated regularly. [18:29] shipleythump: then uninstall the -ose (opensourced version) and use the propriatory version off their site.. it's propriatory because of some of the code they use.. but it work great [18:30] Fablinix, same here, pretty much any adapter should work, i just bought one for $2 from dealextreme.com [18:30] Fablinix: i bought 4-5 of those cheap noname dongles, all working fine [18:30] Fablinix: it some local brand called TransTech [18:30] leaf-sheep, got it.. I'm not use to ubuntu. I'm a gentoo user myself. just want to try out ubuntu cause someone told me it was better [18:31] usser: ah ok then, I guess the support is much better today than it was a year ago (still I felt I had to check with you guys, just to be sure)! I'll just buy some random dongle then, thanks [18:31] Scunizi, ummm vbox from the ubuntu website just timed out.... [18:31] :( [18:32] shipleythump: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads [18:32] anyone here use mpd to listen to music [18:33] anybody here familiar with Android SDK on ubuntu? Is there any way to give it a performance boost? [18:33] i'm searching for a sleek window border style for ubuntu, any ideas? [18:33] shipleythump: install dkms before installing vbox [18:33] noren: I tried it once.. but we didn't really hit it off.. then Quod Libet came along... === secret is now known as Guest15080 [18:33] currently i have w2k and redmont [18:33] docmax_: I've got a mac inspired one I use.. let me find a link for you [18:34] Slart: quod libet ?? what is that [18:34] having problems installing a new kernel image, it says it can't find /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf, when I look at that file, i see a broken link to /lib/oss-compat/linux. does anyone else have that file located in /lib/oss-compat/linux?

[18:34] hmm... no mac styles please... something real simple and minimalistic [18:34] docmax_, dust [18:35] docmax_, one of the defaults in karmic [18:35] shipleythump: it will help recomplie the kernel module changes needed for vbox if you get a kernel upgrade.. doesn't always work so on a kernel upgrade vbox will complain and tell you how to fix itself.

[19:03] pfifo: just buy anything using postscript/pdf and you're on the safe side [19:03] hi all [19:03] yotam:i found a php class and i compiled it as a binary, but it' s not working well :-( [19:03] hi [19:03] Does anyone know how to underclock mobil athlon xp 2400+ if minimal freq is detected wrong? broken pst table maybe. min is detected as 1200; should be 790MHz. [19:03] C U Later Guys! [19:03] where can I download Windows version of usb-creator? [19:04] HP seems to have the best support for linux printing (from what ive heard) I plugged it n Via USB and it just worked. works on my netbook too [19:04] EagleSn: are you sure there is one? [19:04] jrwcox look at this link http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Brother-MFC-240C [19:05] jrwcox: you installed the brother driver from terminal .. right? [19:05] yes, Slart i have readed that there is in the Ubuntu CD, a .exe === Theexperts is now known as KSP [19:05] i typed in what the directions said in the terminal, didn't work that way, so I used install from file [19:05] what it is error "rc-default main peocess (2899) terminated with status 127" === SnakDoc_ is now known as SnakDoc [19:06] EagleSn: well.. I couldn't find anything useful on their site.. why not download an ubuntu live cd and get it from that one [19:07] jrwcox: I didn't know they now have an "install from file" option.. I have a MFC7440N networked at home and it work fine for printing.. but that's just about it.. scanning works only when using xsane as root.. not recommended. [19:07] just go to printer configuration and try disbling the printer and enabling it again [19:07] Slart: i will have to download all CD [19:07] no one has any ideas on this Unsupported PM Caps regs version(7) thing and why my network card would only work after a reboot? [19:07] and see if is true that i readed [19:07] kjl [19:08] wel, I clicked on the install lpr and cu (forget what it is called, and it automaticaaly installed [19:08] done that [19:08] EagleSn: hmm.. hang on.. let me check if I've got the iso somewhere.. [19:08] jrwcox: perhaps you're referring to the ubuntu auto installer.. not the brother installer. [19:09] okay, maybe [19:09] sorry, completly new at ubuntu [19:09] so what do I do then? [19:09] jrwcox: the brother drivers are not easy to install.. you have to bounce around on their site for all the ubuntu instructions.. [19:10] Slart: i have got the Kubuntu CD and it isn't there, but it may be in the Ubuntu CD [19:10] okay [19:10] jrwcox: do just the printing portion first.. then the rest [19:10] What do i do if my numberpad wont type and will just move my cursor? [19:10] EagleSn: what is not on the kubuntu-cd? [19:10] do I need to uninstall the printer again? [19:10] FirstSgt: check the numlock key [19:10] jrwcox: no not really [19:10] Slart: its on [19:10] I just upgraded my server from Jaunty to Karmic RC. Seems that everything else went fine, but my mysql doesn't want to start. /etc/init.d/mysql start just says "fail" and nothing is written to logs. [19:11] iceroot: Windows version of usb-creator [19:11] so, I should just be able to type in the terminal? [19:11] i've even tried scroll lock :) [19:11] EagleSn: hm that may be a gnome-tool, yes [19:11] can someone even explain this type of thing where my network card would only work after a reboot and it has the error Unsupported PM Caps regs version(7)? [19:11] but the number pad just moves the cursor in gnome [19:11] x-Na: karmic #ubuntu+1 [19:11] FirstSgt: there is a bug about that.. check in System>Preferences>Assistive Services.. and see if the numpad is tagged as the pointing device [19:11] EagleSn: you can also use apt-get to install software which is not on the cd [19:12] llutz, k [19:12] iceroot: Windows version of it [19:12] FirstSgt: hmm.. then I don't really know.. I could have bet serious money on the numlock key being the solution.. not sure what else could have that effect [19:12] EagleSn: hm, ok never heard of it [19:12] Slart FirstSgt see bug #3711282 [19:12] Any Mac Mini (2009 Nvidia) users? [19:13] Scunizi: Wow, thanks [19:13] Scunizi: I wonder how that got turned on :P [19:13] !anyone | ceafu [19:13] ceafu: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [19:13] Slart: thanks for trying :) [19:13] EagleSn: nope.. no ubuntu isos laying around.. I was going to try the new karmic rc though and that download will be finished in 30 minutes or so.. then I could check [19:13] FirstSgt: happened on my machine as well.. drove me nuts.. there is a key combination to switch it but I forgot what it is. [19:13] well Slart, thanks [19:13] lol.. [19:13] what a crazy thing to auto-hotkey [19:13] can someone even explain this type of thing where my network card would only work after a reboot and it has the error Unsupported PM Caps regs version(7)? [19:13] is the select best server from sources the best solution for me? [19:14] FirstSgt: you're welcome.. can I at least get a prize from the lowest shelf? ;) [19:14] FirstSgt: seems to happen to some logitec and microsoft keyboards [19:14] im thinking "im a developer, this is messed up if im having issues with the easiest and best linux out there" [19:14] Hi all, I require some help on VPN connectivity [19:14] !ask | vishal [19:14] vishal: 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. :-) [19:14] * FirstSgt gives Slart a 4th shelf prize... and its a pandabear [19:14] good evening [19:14] FirstSgt: this is not a universal issue.. it doesn't happen to everyone.. just some hardware combinations..

Should I just use mkdir to recreate /home/shavin? or is there anything else required? [19:33] micro: docky? [19:34] joshritger: hmm.. I tried looking at wmctrl.. it just reports me having one desktop (I've got compiz setup to use 6 desktops).. seems like compiz has its own desktop thing going on.. let me see if I can make something work with the compiz config method [19:34] maco: I feel so ashamed for asking now :s [19:34] jrwcox try system administration printing new [19:34] shavinder: why not "mv" it?

(screenshot: http://bit.ly/18E8CB ) [19:56] KittyKis: there is #xchat too... [19:56] oh, right [19:56] t_: what's that? [19:56] KittyKis: hmm.. it's the same if you change the font? [19:56] i cant kill force quit or end an application [19:56] Slart: yeah, it's the same over quite a few fonts, only one that doesn't do it that i've tried is tengwar telcontar [19:56] and it isn't allowing me to reopen the application [19:57] t_: type this in console: killall PROGRAMM [19:57] KittyKis: it might just be the theme you're using. [19:57] where programm is for example pidgin, or irssi [19:57] do i type the program name === Strife1989 is now known as Strife89 [19:57] yes [19:57] or just program [19:57] oh ok [19:57] KittyKis: hmm.. I would check if the theme might be messing things up.. it might be a bug in xchat too [19:57] t_: use top for see process [19:58] jrwcox terminal type "sudo aa-complain cupsd" [19:58] t_: in terminal use "top", then when you saw process kill it with "killall programm" [19:58] KittyKis: is it xchat or xchat-gnome? [19:58] jrwcox next terminal sudo mkdir /usr/share/cups/model [19:58] jrwcox next reinstall the driver [19:59] t_: does it works? [19:59] bl, i dont see a pid for bitpim [19:59] ok vishal [19:59] t_: use TAB to auto complete nicks [19:59] sorry, was working on something [20:00] KittyKis: ??.. you there? [20:00] ya, i cant see its pid [20:00] how do I reset the password of the gnome keychain? [20:01] t_: System > administration > System monitor (my ubuntu is in spanish, maybe it's different), then go to process, and kill programm [20:01] yeah, sorry about that [20:01] Many release candidates were released as final without changes. Is this expected with 9.10? [20:01] KittyKis: did you install xchat or xchat-gnome? [20:01] I did this and it says the program is "zombie" status [20:01] and it wont kill it [20:01] t_: and please, use "BlouBlou:" when you speak to me, becasue it's difficult to see you with 1xxx people :) [20:01] thune3: thatd be the point of a RC, yeah... [20:01] thune3: unless someone finds a release critical bug in the next 6 days [20:02] >join #bioinfobdx [20:02] t_: not a lot you can do about zombies except perhaps kill the parent or reboot.. they shouldn't really be a problem on the other side [20:02] t_: BlouBlou use TAB for auto complete of nicks... [20:02] marco: so only showstoppers get fixed now [20:02] Scunizi: I always use it [20:02] thune3: yep. thats what release candidate means [20:02] ok thanks guys [20:02] after a reboot ubuntu boots up to where the login screen is and then it's a corrupted pattern all over the screen and the system becomes unresponsive [20:02] any ideas? [20:02] BlouBlou: I can tell.. just reitterating for t_ since I mentioned it to him already to no effect [20:03] Scunizi: ah okay :) [20:03] Scunizi: xchat [20:03] ex0duz: can you CTRL+ALT+F2 and get to a tty? [20:03] Mmm.. IRSSI :) [20:04] KittyKis: k.. if you still have problems.. look at using irssi and/or irssi w/ screen.. [20:04] all right [20:04] irssi w/screen is awesome [20:04] ooohh.. yeaaa [20:04] i've been meaning to switch to irssi for a while, just kinda been putting it off [20:05] KittyKis: no reason to.. you can have both installed.. irssi just "works" well.. a little different but you get use to it [20:05] yeah [20:05] maco: is there anywhere to see queued showstoppers for 9.10rc? [20:05] i used it on windows a loooong time ago [20:05] i stay logged on to irc and can disconnect the session.. pick it back up at work, or in my iphone even, hehe.

If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [20:06] I need fdisk help: I just went in terminal: fdisk /dev/sda1 -- then I used 'd' for parts(1-4) which doesn't makes sense to me, cause it's one partition, not a while disk. I used 'p' to check it, and then 'w' to write it. It said after reboot it would be done. I rebooted and my partition is still mounted in fstab and all files are there, but fdisk now says 'unable to open /dev/sda1' [20:07] crohakon: you need 4 desktops horizontally and the cube switcher activated [20:07] M4K4V3l1: No need to insult Slackware people for refusing to help you compile something on Ubuntu.

[20:08] motec: unable to open /dev/sda [20:08] anyone has sucess with a USB to video composite, via v4l, the lsusb show this: "Bus 001 Device 006: ID 05e1:0408 Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd" [20:09] motec: sda1 is my old windows install. I want the HD space for other stuff :-\ [20:10] Flash plugin question. The Adobe Flash performance is pretty poor (playing flash games, etc... on Facebook). Does anyone know if either of the open-source offerings have better performace (like, a *lot* better), or does Flash 10.1 have hope of better performance (what with being optimized for mobile platforms, etc...) [20:10] daevski: you use fdisk on a disk, not a partition. [20:10] not sure what you managed to do, honestly.. [20:11] I set my phone in "file transfer mode" but I still cant find my memory card [20:11] shouldnt it be under media? [20:11] motec: Well I've made a mistake then. fdisk won't open sda. [20:11] t_: via bluetooth or usb? [20:11] bloublou usb [20:11] ShackJack: I think the biggest thing that affects flash perf right now is video drivers. I hear the newest intel drivers in Karmic result in watchable full screen flash videos... But, AFAIK, from a compatibility standpoint and a performance standpoint, official flash 10 is the best you'll get... [20:11] daevski: are you trying to wipe sda? [20:12] Scunizi: no just sda1. it's my own windwos partition that I now need for other things [20:12] Scunizi: sda is currently holding ubuntu and some audio for me. It's in 3 partitions I believe, one is old windows install. [20:12] btthalion: O.K. There's this one FB game, Cafe World, and it pegs the processor of a few year old PENTIUM M 740... and chugs quite a bit.. Hopefully 10.1 will improve things... [20:13] daevski: have you tried gparted? after install it comes up as Partition Manager in System>Admin.. that will format sda1 for you after unmounting it. [20:13] maco: thx [20:13] How can I search a volume for a file containing characters "foo" ? Case insensitive ? [20:13] Scunizi: Thats the info I needed. Thank you :) [20:13] daevski: :) glad to help [20:13] Whitor: grep -r -i foo * might work [20:14] ls -r | grep ... ? [20:14] Whitor: be prepared to wait a while unless it's a very small volume [20:14] Hey all, I'm thinking of upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 (when it comes out in 6days). Is there any way that I can upgrade from CD/DVD? Since I do not have access to highspeed internet... ? :) [20:14] Whitor: that would just search the filenames [20:14] yeah ... looking for a file... [20:14] Gaming4JC: you use to be able to do that from the alternate install cd.. not sure about the live cd. [20:14] I meant filename, sorry [20:14] Whitor: if that's what you want I would recommend "find" instead [20:14] !upgrade | Gaming4JC [20:14] Gaming4JC: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [20:15] anyone? [20:15] Whitor: something like find /media/sda2/ -iname 'foo' [20:15] how do i send a file in ubuntu to my phone via bluetooth [20:15] Whitor: you might also "sudo updatedb" then "locate [20:15] will find work on a newly attached volume ? or does it need to be cataloged first ? [20:15] Whitor: itll work [20:15] nevermind [20:15] t_: do you know the mount point for the phone? [20:15] Whitor: find doesn't use an index.. it searches the whole thing every time [20:15] thanks all [20:15] Scunizi, Jordan_U_: Thanks, reading now... I hope they provide an alternate install disk still. :P [20:15] Whitor: find doesnt use a db. slocate, mlocate, locate, etc do [20:15] Gaming4JC: sure [20:15] There should be a find built into nautilus ... imo [20:16] Whitor: there is.. [20:16] scunizi, I was able to push the file by right clicking the file [20:16] oh [20:16] Whitor: there's a file search program called tracker [20:16] well look at that ! nice [20:16] Whitor: go to "Places"> search for files.. [20:17] hey peeps [20:17] what it is? === root is now known as Guest95917 [20:17] t_: that's a nautilus function.. if it's not there now you might be able to install it.. search synaptic for nautilus and you might see nautilus-sendto as an install option [20:17] then it is what [20:17] Guest95917: not a social channel. if you want to chat, #ubuntu-offtopic [20:17] sorry guys... [20:17] my bad... [20:18] its only social after mid-night when everyone has had there share of rum. [20:18] arrr [20:18] beer, scotch, vodka [20:18] mead [20:18] hard cider [20:18] Ok I read it over, it seems that I will be needing that alternate installation CD. Do you know if and where I might find that come the launch date for 9.10? :) [20:19] Gaming4JC: ubuntu.com [20:19] Scunizi: That's the LiveCD on their site, unless I'm not looking hard enough. lol [20:20] * Gaming4JC is browsing ubuntu.com... [20:20] Gaming4JC: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate [20:20] Gaming4JC: alternate is already available for the RC, will be in the smae location come karmic http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ [20:20] Where can I buy a mini laptop with Ubuntu already installed? [20:20] s/smae/same/ [20:20] hi all [20:20] trism, arand: Thanks! :D [20:20] Im a cvs newbie, and got three questions concerning cvs modules === indian_munnda is now known as aman [20:21] 1) how do i delete a module from the cvs repository? === sunny_ is now known as vishu19 [20:21] Maybe a little off-topic, but is there any way to 'refresh' a laptop battery? One of my laptop batteries can now only hold 66% of the original amount of charge it could hold, dramatically reducing the time I can spend off-power. [20:22] PreZ: Not really [20:23] Does anyone know where to buy computers that already have linux - preferably Ubuntu pre-installed?? [20:23] PreZ: if it's nickel-metal-hydride drain it then charge .. repeat for several cycles.. lythium for get about it. [20:23] Ok, I'm nearly set for the transition to 9.10. But one last question... is there any way I can download the entire repository without having to manually download packages from packages.ubuntu.com? I really need the basics like gstreamer, my graphics card driver, etc. and it takes around 4hrs on my dial-up line. :( [20:23] I figure I can go to a highspeed place or pay some one to make a repo disk. :P [20:23] !aptoncd | Gaming4JC [20:23] Gaming4JC: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [20:23] shane2peru: dell mini 10 [20:23] Can I just whine for a second here? Are there any plans to have an updater that doesn't require constant monitoring? [20:23] Hrm, I think it's a Lithium Hydroxide, but I need to check, I know my (much older) laptop uses a NiMH [20:23] I understand you need to ask which config version I want [20:23] silverglade00: directly from dell? [20:24] PreZ: if it's lithium.. buy a new one.. [20:24] ckw: What part of your updater requires monitoring? [20:24] but couldn't that be done quickly, allowing the rest of hte update to happen while I'm eating lunch, etc [20:24] Gaming4JC: The Ubuntu DVD contains all of main and restricted [20:24] Flannel, Such as constantly asking if I want my version or hte package version of apache config === Bodsda is now known as root [20:24] shane2peru: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/linux_3x?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs [20:25] It pops up a window and pauses the update until I answer [20:25] ckw: Ah, that. That is the very end of the updating, everything's already downloaded at that point, so it should be quick. [20:25] Sunizi: That'll work, assuming I use Ubuntu to get the files. But most libraries use Windows XP still, leaving me unable to download them from there. Jordan_U_: Ok, I'll be keeping my eye out for the DVD. :) === root is now known as Bodsda [20:25] Everything has been downloaded [20:25] this is during install [20:25] I had a few dialogs that happened pretty soon in the install phase [20:25] silverglade00: got it! Thanks! [20:25] Scunizi, well, luckily when I bought the laptop, I got 2 battery packs (mainly for long plane trips when one would not last the whole trip) ... recently I've not had to go on any long trips, so the second battery is still at 90% of original charge ;P [20:25] if I had gone for a few hours to find them, I would still have a bunch of packages left [20:25] and more dialogs [20:26] If there were some sort of preproccessing where all those dialogs were asked before the rest of the packages are installed [20:26] I could then leave the system alone while it updates and not have to break up as much of my normal life [20:27] Can anyone suggest to Canonical that they should have a bunch of Repository disks for sale? I'm sure people like myself would love getting the whole repo for offline use and be willing to pay the $$. xP [20:28] hey guys got a prob [20:28] Gaming4JC: You can do it yourself at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ [20:29] i have a program that keep notifiying me of stuff i dont care about, how can i shut it up? [20:29] I am trying to burn an imige to disk with brasaro disk burner and every time i end up getting an error I know these files are ok is there another burning program I can use with Ubuntu 9.04 [20:29] damn, the battery is a Li-ion :( [20:29] k3b [20:29] Jordan_U_: hmm.. yah That'll work. :) [20:29] steve2: k3b [20:30] I can get it through the terminal [20:30] Flannel, I know it's a small thing and this probably isn't the place [20:30] Gaming4JC: zyxware.com used to sell repo CD/DVDs also [20:30] steve2: sudo apt-get install k3b [20:30] but where would I go to suggest such a thing? [20:30] awsome thanks ill try it [20:30] (having all dialogs at the beginning of the upgrade process) [20:30] ckw: File a bug at launchpad [20:31] would that be considered a bug? [20:31] ckw: It won't be able to do them at the beginning, it would have to be at the end. [20:31] i have a program that keep notifiying me of stuff i dont care about, how can i shut it up? [20:31] mayki: It could be, or a wishlist, either way launchpad would be appropriate [20:31] Why not at the beginning? [20:32] People, I have evolution installed on my system, but when I try to open an attached file, I received following message "Could not open the link. No application is registered as handling file" Some may tell what's wrong? [20:32] ah [20:32] if the package installers were split up into sections that may need human interaction and non human interaction [20:32] ckw: Because at the beginning of the upgrade it has no idea what files will be updated/which files you've modified (to ask you which to keep) [20:32] Yes [20:33] Jordan_U_: Sounds interesting on that store... Also would you know if the DVD of Ubuntu would allow me to upgrade my existing installation, or will I have to get the alternate install for that? [20:33] What I am saying is if the package installers would be split up into two sections, one that checked for files that may need human interaction, the other that used the precious data to actually install [20:33] Jordan_U_: Just so I know if I have to go download both, or just one big one. lol :) [20:33] Then the data collections part could be run before the package is actually installed [20:34] Gaming4JC: The DVD will allow you to upgrade [20:34] Flannel, it wouldn't even be too hard to make backward compatible [20:34] Jordan_U_: Amazing, thanks for the help! I'll be sure to get the DVD when it comes out in 6 days. :D [20:34] To break existing packages [20:34] Is there any suggestions on what to use for live hd-repartitioning? (I can't have these comps go down) Would that leave out gparted? Or can I resize on the fly? [20:35] ckw: File a bug, you don't need to convince me. [20:35] Blehk: if you had LVM installed then yes.. otherwise I'm not aware of anything but gparted [20:35] Anyone using vsftpd here? -- I had it installed and working previously, but decided to start from scratch (reinstall) and now /etc/init.d/vsftpd doesn't respond, but the file does exist in that location. I'm not really sure what to do about this :-? [20:35] Scunizi: it's all ext3, but can gparted do it on the fly? [20:36] I don't think any live-repartitioning/resizing software could safely exist [20:36] Blehk: not without unmounting the drive.. LVM works with ext3 but has to be installed at the time of the partition/drive creation [20:36] I think [20:36] i have a question, why is it that when firefox doesn't close completely, i can't open a new one? i get the message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." but if i have a firefox window open, i can open as many other windows as i want? do they all run on the same process? === yoni is now known as CrAzYoNi [20:37] mayki, yah, they do [20:37] mayki: something got stuck.. add system monitor to one of your bars and use that to kill ff [20:37] ok [20:37] i just killall [20:38] mayki, sudo killall init should deal with it ;P [20:38] is there a way to downgrade a package through terminal? [20:38] thanks PreZ [20:38] Anyone using vsftpd here? -- I had it installed and working previously, but decided to start from scratch (reinstall) and now /etc/init.d/vsftpd doesn't respond, but the file does exist in that location. I'm not really sure what to do about this :-? [20:39] daevski: What if you run vsftpd directly? It may show some error messages. === UIS|Class is now known as Until_It_Sleeps [20:40] grawity: (yes), normally it would list the commands, but now it doesn't respond to anything. [20:40] hi [20:40] my ctrl+alt key don't work how can solve this problem? [20:40] daevski: I meant /usr/bin/vsftpd [20:40] grawity: maybe, one sec. === BlouBlou is now known as BlouBlou_ === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [20:43] hay guys does ubuntu run on older pre intel based macbook's ? [20:43] grawity: hmm good advice... it seems as though it can't load the SSL certificate which it should create itself on install. -- Thanks for the tip. [20:44] my ctrl+alt key don't work how can solve this problem? [20:44] also i am more experianced ( as far as a learner goes ) with fedora, what are teh key defferances between these 2 distos and [20:44] Cpt_Zyph: that would be the ppc version.. there is a channel for that #ubuntu-ppc [20:44] ctrl+alt+backspace not work why? [20:44] daevski: It's _you_ who should create a SSL cert for your server. [20:44] !dontzap | babak [20:44] babak: 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. [20:44] mayki: might check out man 5 apt_preferences [20:44] babak: try ctrl+alt+SysRq+k [20:45] i'll do that [20:45] Scunizi: Ctrl is not needed. [20:45] grawity: just alt+sysRq+k ?? [20:45] ah, thanks trism [20:45] Scunizi: It has always been Alt+SysRq+K. [20:45] grawity: oh, [slaps forhead] right...lol -- okay all is well again... I think. [20:45] grawity: ok.. never used it.. still running hardy [20:45] What is the command to find where a program resides? [20:45] Scunizi wonderful thanks.. i guess my last Q is . for multi media stuff and fedora i have such a hard time getting things working, so i thought of trying ubuntu.. other then RH vs Debian what are the differances between the 2 servers / desktops.. and why should someone consider ubuntu over fedora for i.e.? [20:46] like if I wanted to see where guake is installed... [20:46] daevski: Well yeah, Debian and Ubuntu do create one for you, but it's really better to do it yourself - no matter if it's an issued one or self-signed. [20:46] hey, I have a Philips MCM590 micro system that has USB audio support [20:46] however [20:46] sdwrage: 'which guake' [20:46] !space |mikeru [20:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about space [20:46] Cpt_Zyph: fedora can be even more cutting edge.. & harder..

[20:47] i want use ctrl+alt+f1 but my ctrl+alt key not work what do i have to do? [20:47] grawity, thx! [20:47] how do I prevent a package from being installed using /etc/apt/preferences? I read something about p < 0 [20:47] hi! where should i find the cover (artwork) for every Ubuntu release? [20:47] Scunizi how about ubuntu and the world of multi media it seems every .. well main stream style media app i try to get is already built for ubuntu but i have to tweek at it for weeks to get it working on my fedora server.. is this just me or is that the trend for the 2 destro's .. and thanks btw for your help [20:47] babak: try it with f2 twice in a row.. you'll get to a tty [20:48] Scunizi for i.e. "Simplify Media" is my recent challange [20:48] when I connect it to my computer (with ubuntu9.10), it appears in the sound preferences and when I select it, it just doesn't work. the usb connect thing stops blinking and stays off, even though it's detected in sound preferences [20:48] Scunizi: my ctrl+alt not work [20:48] hi! where should i find the cover (artwork) for every Ubuntu release? [20:48] natschil_: Ironically you used up 6 lines with invalid factoid requests to finally hit on the 7th and 8th line to make a remark about someone who used a not overly excessive two lines [20:48] Cpt_Zyph: fedora can be finiky .. you really need to know the system and cli for some things.. Ubuntu is also very popular with a huge amount of support [20:49] babak: bad keyboard.. wrong keyboard setup ?? I don't have the answer [20:49] where should i find the cover (artwork) for every Ubuntu release? [20:49] anyone here good with joypads? [20:49] i need a networkmonitoring tool which displays networktraffik-rate and shows me the process causing it [20:49] edulacomadreja: google? [20:49] iftop and netstat dont do this [20:49] docmax__: wireshark [20:49] Scunizi thank you sir for your input.. i know this convo while opinionated can go on for ever.. i just wonder if someone like my self wants to realyl get into server linux projects etc.. which release would be a more long term learning project.. RH based or Debian based.. and again thanks for your input [20:50] genii: yes, that's ironic sorry :) I used another 2 in a pm with ubottu though to find the right one...though I'm not asking a question, so no-on needs to see everything in one place after all... [20:50] Scunizi: yes, but there is no official site or something? [20:50] i have 2 and both worked perfectly (just plug and play) with feisty, hardy and the latest long term release [20:50] hello. is there a way to list all symbolic links pointing toward a certain file ? [20:50] Cpt_Zyph: your choice.. [20:50] Scunizi, thanks i will check it [20:50] Cpt_Zyph: different animals [20:50] xorg.conf is empty how the hell does xorg work? [20:50] thanks again fro your time guys and to the guy with a keyboard issue.. if possable try a different keyboard .. chances are the problem is related to teh device.. but i'm new in this comunity so.. GL [20:50] scunizi rgr that.. [20:51] zaoul1: xrandr.. randr are what controls now [20:51] Scunizi: where would I put NvAGP "1" ... It seems I need it for ACPI suspend to ram [20:52] Scunizi: I found lots of covers, very nice all of them but I want the artwork that is finally used on the oficial release [20:52] How can I view what users are registered from the command line? (Ubuntu server edition)? [20:52] edulacomadreja: maybe on launchpad, ubuntuforums.org .. I'm not sure. [20:52] Registered on my computer that is [20:52] shawn_: registered? you mean logged in? [20:52] iceroot Just any registered users on my computer [20:52] shawn_: cat /etc/passwd [20:53] shawn_: 'getent passwd' will print the user accounts. [20:53] oh well... [20:53] shawn_: Most of the time, 'cat /etc/passwd' does the same. [20:53] zaoul1: not sure.. I've never delt with that.. [20:53] grawity: if you only have local users, yes [20:53] Scunizi: is there any config for randr? [20:53] grawity, Theres no way to view a more basic list? Thats kinda annoying to read through [20:53] iceroot: That's why I said "Most of the time". (I used to administer a couple of servers with LDAP.) [20:54] zaoul1: yes.. bunches.. man randr .. also google has a wealth of info on it. [20:54] shawn_: Pipe it to | cut -d: -f1 [20:54] im sure it does :-/ [20:54] i want swich to text mode what do i have to do? [20:54] How can I have my computers use a static ip when they turn on & connect to the router? [20:55] zaoul1: I use nvidia's propriatary driver.. it may automatically set it up but I'm not sure. [20:55] grawity Why are things like hplip and daemen users on my computer? === Xoop is now known as XStatik [20:55] Hello [20:55] shawn_: 'daemon', 'irc', [20:55] shawn_: errrrr [20:55] oh snap, i need help [20:55] shawn_: 'daemon', 'irc', 'mail' and such users are (or usually, used to be) used by various daemon programs. [20:55] i want swich to text mode what do i have to do? [20:55] My ubuntu wont start so many error's, i went to a live cd and i cant copy some files because they are under root! How can i copy root files? [20:56] babak: just for now or permanently? ctrl+alt+f1-7 to switch back and forth, otherwise disable gdm to do it permanently [20:56] shawn_: maybe you are searching for users with /bin/bash instead of /bin/false the rest are not the users you expect [20:56] shawn_: For example, if the system had a mail daemon (server) running, it would be running with the privileges of user 'mail' for security. [20:56] i was using the terminal, and the mouse went outside of it, giving the window i had in back focus, i typed "exit [enter]" and now everything is gone :O! [20:56] grawity I have like like 30 things that arent people they are just applications showing up in that users thing X_X [20:56] shawn_: I think Ubuntu has a graphical user manager somewhere... [20:56] when does ubuntu 9.10 come out? [20:56] grawity Im using server edition on the one I need to check [20:56] Jape: 29.10.2009 [20:56] Jape www.ubuntu.com [20:56] shawn_: Well then, passwd is the only way. [20:56] trism: ctrl+alt+f1 not work on my keyboard [20:56] Greetings all! I've updated to Ubuntu 9.10 and now receive this error in ant while compiling http://pastebin.com/d4e4cb116 anyone know how to set this correct? [20:57] rodneymillerpca_ : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion. [20:57] I have an Aiptek 8000U plugged in and it seems that the driver package "xserver-xorg-input-aiptek" is installed... I also did some restarts ...but somehow I can't get to have it actually working > when I move the pen there is no response whatsoever [20:57] shawn_: that's normal [20:57] thanks [20:57] cant wait [20:57] Scunizi, Oh alright [20:57] shit, now even the files on my desktop are "an unknown type" [20:57] hi guys, has anyone installed the new update? how to get rid of that awn lookalike thing?? [20:57] Scunizi: xorg.log shows the config is running through HAL [20:57] my wireless speed is not stable at all. it keeps going up and down all the time, at the end i reach an average less than half my original speed! [20:57] kim__: new update? [20:57] Pici Ok thank you [20:57] shawn_: Every process must run as some user. Historically, most of them have used 'daemon' (though others had more specific ones, as 'mail', 'uucp' and 'irc'). [20:57] and i can't get to my desktop with nautilus :( [20:57] yeah, well the latest [20:58] Hello everybody, has anyone here who wants to speak in Portuguese? [20:58] grawity, Oh alrighty thanks :) [20:58] shawn_: Now, to increase security, many daemons have their _own_ accounts. [20:58] ld.net [20:58] !pt | naesojo [20:58] kim__: jaunty or karmic? if karmic goto #ubuntu+1 [20:58] naesojo: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [20:58] mayki: ctrl+alt+f2 .. log in ... then "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [20:58] karmic [20:58] shawn_: So if you have Postfix mail daemon installed, you'd have 'postfix' in users. [20:58] Scunizi, i dont want to sniff packets [20:58] grawity, Oh okay makes sense === Gang_B4nger is now known as DnBSouldia [20:58] cant right klick it [20:58] just see the processes which do traffic [20:58] kim__: as i said, goto #ubuntu+1 [20:59] k [20:59] hi guys... some help with md, i have one raid but after reebooting need assemble manualy with mdadm --assemble --scan --config=/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf and later mount mount /dev/md0 /home/raid5 i have some infirmation on http://www.pastebin.ca/1640628 === jayjax|awayjax is now known as jayjax [20:59] shawn_: Things like 'irc', 'uucp' and 'news' are mostly for historical+compatibility reasons though. In any case, no one can login with them, so they're secure. [20:59] so, does someone know about that? [20:59] docmax__: in cli.. top .. in gui .. add the system monitor to one of your bars [21:00] grawity I dont think my server would have a lot of those anyways then since it only has certain server things running [21:00] [21:00] No personal problems, I also speak in other languages. [21:00] Scunizi, where is the option in gui? [21:01] thanks Scunizi, it's fixed now, [21:01] docmax__: point at the top bar on the screen and right mouse click.. choose "add to panel" and look for system monitor [21:01] ctrl+alt not work i want swich to text mode what do i have to do? [21:01] mayki: :) [21:02] babak: try another keyboard [21:02] babak: ctrl+alt+f1 === phnom_ is now known as phnom === DnBSouldia is now known as DnBSoldia [21:02] top bar on the screen? the title? [21:02] halo, well. i want to make a matrix in R. i have 3 rows with the same length (length=10). t,x,y. now i want that each of them is a colum in this in this 3X10 Matrix., how to do this? [21:02] I understand that Ubuntu uses HAL to mount and present hot-pluggable devices, such as USB drives. You can even right-click the drive icon and select "Unmount". However, how can this be done via a bash script? Unmount requires root privileges, it seems. [21:02] iceroot: he's been asking about that for a while.. his keys don't work [21:02] ops: Thanks for unbanning me... [21:03] Scunizi: i dont scroll the hole channel to see what someone has post too [21:03] docmax__: the bar that has "applications>Places etc".. just pick a blank area [21:03] awayguy: not sure - I *think* you might want to ask in #openoffice.org [21:03] awayguy: with what? [21:03] R --> its the r-project [21:03] iceroot: just thought I'd let you know so you wouldn't waste a bunch of time [21:03] Scunizi: ok :) [21:03] what does ^X mean in a terminal? [21:03] ctrl+x [21:04] lolol: ctrl+x [21:04] or like ^O or whatever [21:04] lolol, control x [21:04] oh [21:04] ^ = control [21:04] so ^ means ctrl [21:04] i get it [21:04] Scunizi, u mean the gnome panel??????????????????? [21:04] thanks [21:04] or raised eyebrows [21:04] docmax__: ok.. [21:04] I have an Aiptek 8000U plugged in and it seems that the driver package "xserver-xorg-input-aiptek" is installed... I also did some restarts ...but somehow I can't get to have it actually working > when I move the pen there is no response whatsoever... any ideas? [21:04] Scunizi, i'm in wireshark gui! [21:05] docmax__: you didn't mention that! .. I did say top of the screen... not window .. but I know how that could be confusing. [21:05] Scunizi, are we talking about wireshark or the gnome taskmanager? [21:05] r-project.org <-- its a matrix based calculator, some of ppl which using ubuntu are using R to, so i thought i might as here === m4v_ is now known as m4v [21:05] *ask [21:06] docmax__: gnome task bar or panel.. the very top panel that is visible on the screen.. === dorins_ is now known as wave [21:06] Scunizi, you want me to add an applet? [21:07] docmax__: if you want to see processes and what's happening.. as an example try top in terminal .. same basic info [21:08] Scunizi, i need information which process is doing how much NETWORK-traffic [21:08] for ex. vlc 500 kb/s [21:08] <[t0rc]> I have a folder of files I want to make into an ISO, how do I do that?

I give up.. I don't know a tool for that specific task.. sorry for leading you in the wrong direction.. http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/top-linux-monitoring-tools.html check that out [21:10] does anybody know of a downloadmanager compareable to IDM for linux with support for megaupload and a web interface? [21:10] someone knows a channel for R-users? [21:11] please, any with experience with mdadm raid? [21:11] awayguy: /join #R [21:11] thy [21:11] thx [21:11] Hi there, I have 3 monitors(15",19" and 19") set up in this order: 15", 19", 19", and I want ALL of them to be used at the same time. I have 2 nvidia cards installed to handle it but right now I can only use the two 19" and have the last one as a separate x screen, which is NOt what I want. How would I go about this? :) [21:11] angelv: yea whats up [21:12] Hi there [21:12] hi zaoul1, i have this information http://www.pastebin.ca/1640628 [21:12] Scunizi, nice site, thanks [21:12] what's the s stand for in: "srwxrwxrwx" for a permission. It shows up as purple. [21:12] iirc sticky [21:12] Really bad bootup problems with nvidia card with new kernel works ok with jaunty kernel tips? [21:12] Scunizi: 777 [21:12] angelv: what is the problem? [21:12] Sirisian|Work: Probably 'socket'. [21:12] the raid work ok, but after reeboting need assambly manualy and mount [21:12] Sirisian|Work: 777 [21:12] How can I install a proprietary w-lan driver from USB? [21:12] Scunizi: sorry wrong nick [21:13] angelv: what does cat /proc/mdstat give you? [21:13] docmax__: looks like maybe nstat or iptraf would help you.. good luck [21:13] grawity, that makes sense actually. the file is cups.sock :\ [21:13] Lenny1729: is it a wireless broadband or regular wireless card? [21:13] iceroot: you trying to chown me? :) [21:13] Sirisian|Work: ah sorry you asked for the s. s= symbolic link [21:13] chmod [21:13] Scunizi: worked? :) [21:13] set group id according to this http://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-expert-users/17577-unix-file-permissions.html [21:13] iceroot: Symlinks are 'l' [21:13] i can't sudo aptitude remove xubuntu and kubuntu desktop help [21:13] my compiz effects stopped working today, and im not sure why, what can i do to try and fix the problem? [21:13] Sirisian|Work: Often, Unix applications use "Unix domain sockets" for interprocess communications. [21:13] eaxexee: regular w-lan card, in my case a broadcom card [21:13] does anybody know of a downloadmanager compareable to IDM for linux with support for megaupload and a web interface? [21:13] grawity: oh, i am sorry [21:14] http://www.pastebin.ca/1640651 [21:14] iceroot: my perissions don't allow me to be available to everyone.. my wife won't let me :) [21:14] zleap1: No, the setgid 's' would be in the 'group permisions' part. [21:14] grawity, makes sense. How can I find out what's using that socket? [21:14] Hello all... [21:14] zleap1: This 's' is in the 'file type' column. [21:14] Sirisian|Work: lsof [21:14] Lenny1729: and it's not supported? Have you tried going to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers ? [21:14] Sirisian|Work: Or, guessing from the name, it was created by CUPS [21:14] angelv: hmm, looks fine, what it wont mount? [21:15] eaxexee: Normally I would connect to ethernet and run the propriertary driver application to download it, than it works fine. But I no longer have ethernet connection, so the typical hen egg problem [21:15] I'm hoping someone here is a Kernel virtual machine expert. I have configured USB pass-thru on a 4-port USB hub. The virtual machine is WinDoze, but it isn't getting the vendor/device ID from the pass-thru hub. Any suggestions? [21:15] http://pastebin.ca/1640657 [21:15] my fstab [21:15] grawity, yeah it's the web interface. I'm trying to see if they have the code in there for it someplace. I couldn't find out if there was source for it. [21:15] Lenny1729: Ohh snap! I know the feeling :/ Have you tried ndiswrapper? [21:16] when i try to sudo aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop it only keeps back packages and then tells me no packages were removed, yet i know xfce is installed as i can see it as a login option am i mistyping the command?ç [21:16] DSpair: what's running the vm? virtualbox, vmware, xen? [21:16] eaxexee: No not yet, how would it work? [21:16] hi, i have an extra system for testing, i have win 7 on it, will ubuntu work out for a dual booit with it? [21:17] eaxexee: is there no way to download the right broadcom driver before my reinstallation and then install the driver from USB on my new Ubuntu 9.10 system? [21:17] should i wait for the new release ? [21:17] angelv: is there any more to dmesg? [21:17] JoeSomebody: sure === sale_ is now known as sale [21:17] GNOME will not start composited. What can I do to fix this? [21:17] angelv: the array is fine and does not need to be reuit [21:17] angelv: rebuilt [21:17] Lenny1729: Wait, you don't have internet in 9.10? [21:17] JoeSomebody, An older release would be more stable than the one just coming out [21:17] JoeSomebody: or run ubutnu in a vm in win7 if your just testing [21:17] grawity, "cupsd 8975 root 4u unix 0xf09eba00 11978929 /var/run/cups/cups.sock" so that means cups is using it. hmm [21:17] angelv: mdstat says that UUUU .. meaning they are all 'up' [21:17] hello all. I dont know what i just did so i dont know how to describe what happened. All my windows in Ubuntu are different [21:18] isabel575: xubuntu-desktop is a metapackage (a package with a list of dependencies, so that all the dependencies get installed). when you remove it, none of the other packages get removed. [21:18] Sirisian|Work: Actually, it means cups is listening on it (waiting for connections) [21:18] I cant close them or minimize [21:18] isabel575: you could try sudo apt-get remote xubuntu-desktop then sudo apt-get autoremove, that should work [21:18] prince_jammys, how do i get rid of xfce then? [21:18] the tops of the windows "disappeared" [21:18] Harrison_Bergero: you do not have any 'decorations' ? [21:18] Harrison_Bergero: The titlebars? [21:18] Harrison_Bergero, I had to read that story for English. [21:18] can you use APT::Default-release in /etc/apt/apt.conf on Ubuntu? [21:18] titlebars...yeah [21:18] !puregnome | isabel575 [21:18] grawity, yeah that's what I meant. I wonder if cupsd is open source >_> [21:18] isabel575: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [21:18] Scunizi will 9.04 be ok? will win7 see the ext3? [21:18] yes.. http://pastebin.ca/1640664 [21:18] Sirisian|Work: It is. [21:18] Harrison_Bergero: run gnome-wm [21:19] Harrison_Bergero: you are using gnome right? [21:19] Ok guys, so I have installed Ubuntu through Wubi, and made some Gnome customizations, installed some applications etc .. Now I want to install Ubuntu on its dedicated partition on the machine. How do I recreate the same settings? Save the ~ folder? Make a list of dpkg -i? [21:19] isabel575: you'd have to find and remove all the packages (or one that they all depend on) do you want a gnome-only system? [21:19] zaoul1...standard installation I assume so [21:19] Sirisian|Work: http://www.cups.org/ [21:19] Harrison_Bergero: k... try to run gnome-wm from command line [21:19] shawn_ will 9.04 be ok? will win7 see the ext3? [21:19] harisund: Both. [21:19] JoeSomebody, Win7 wont see it Grub will let you choose which to boot into [21:20] JoeSomebody: if you're dual booting there are drivers to make windows see ext3. I don't know if they currently work on win7... if you virtualize Ubuntu inside of windows you won't have any issues.. [21:20] !clone | harisund [21:20] harisund: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [21:20] prince_jammys, yes gnome only [21:20] zaoul1...Thank you [21:20] hmm, in my view oppenoffice has exactly the same power like msoffice. but there is just one deficit: the dictionary [21:20] eaxexee: Yes, exactly, right now I'm running 9.04 with the right propiertary driver for my broadcom w-lan card installed via the "hardware-driver" tool. But in the place I moved to I no longer can connect to ethernet, so w-lan is the only option to connect to the internet, that's why I figured I gonna have a problem after I'll have installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my PC, because then I won't be able to run the "Hardware-driver" tool to download the right driv [21:20] er -> hen-egg problem [21:20] upgrading a system with an nvidia card sucks - my other system with an older ati card went flawlessly! [21:20] so, no USB sound support? [21:20] bastidrazor: thanks man .. grawity anything else? [21:20] zaoul1...That fixed it.....so how did that happen in the first place? [21:20] Harrison_Bergero: your welcome... make sure to log out properly so that your session is saved for next time [21:20] ok thanks guys [21:20] Lenny1729: How do you update it? [21:21] eaxexee: I'm gonna download the image and do a fresh installation of Ubuntu 9.10 to get ext4 [21:21] Harrison_Bergero: usually what happens is gnome-wm is killed, and then you log out saving the session info 'saving what is running' and being gnome-wm was killed previously ... [21:21] eaxexee, sudo apt-get update [21:21] is there a possibility to run a webpage like wikipedia, but just for dictionary of openoffice [21:21] zaoul1: The window manager is one of the three "required" parts of the session; it's ran even if not saved previously. [21:21] zaoul1...um...its gone again [21:21] Lenny1729: Why not use the builtin? [21:21] zaoul1: (The other two are panel and desktop.) [21:21] zhando: ping === iGuelph is now known as agghhhhh [21:21] zaoul1...ill do a windows special....im going to reboot [21:21] hi guys [21:21] From a command line, how do I tell what "Build" I am using? [21:21] eaxexee: the builtin driver? on ubuntu 9.04 the build in driver didn't work... does it work with 9.10? [21:22] zaoul1...dont want to really....torrents are almost to max bandwidth....grr [21:22] the ubuntu servers seem slow lately :( [21:22] grawity, thanks. :P [21:22] ping [21:22] so i overheard ubuntu has ext4, next time i do a fresh install i should choose ext4 too? [21:22] ill let you know if rebooting worked [21:22] eaxexee: the built in upgrade? if you have ext3 now and upgrade then ext4 will only really apply to any new files/partitions if I remember correctly.. [21:22] bastid_raZor, i also want to get rid of all the xfce packages and xfce, how do i do that? [21:22] Lenny1729: I haven't had ANY problems at all :) But you can update from within Ubuntu, and they added a LOT of drivers in 1729 [21:22] GNOME will not start composited. What can I do to fix this? [21:22] anyone know why? [21:22] Harrison_Bergero: just hold up with gnome-wm until your dloads are complete [21:22] so there is a possibility to build in the "builtin" dictionairy in to openoffice? [21:22] dpanda: ext4 is default [21:22] Scunizi: Isn't it possible to mount the drive using a livecd and then convert it? [21:23] isabel575: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [21:23] dpanda: ext4 is default in Ubuntu 9.10 [21:23] Lenny1729: oh, ok :) [21:23] zaoul1, but after reebot i need assembly manual [21:23] isabel575: sudo apt-get remote xfce4; sudo apt-get autoremote [21:23] angelv: says who? [21:23] eaxexee: not sure.. [21:23] isabel575: autoremote, typo [21:23] isabel575: arg, autoremove [21:23] Is there a linux permission for read + write but prevents users from deleting? [21:23] isabel575: I can't type [21:23] Scunizi: I THINK so :) [21:23] eaxexee, but an update from 9.04 to 9.10 won't bring a real ext4 on my drive I read somewhere [21:23] trism, with the ; and all? [21:23] Lenny1729: How do I find out what "build"' (trunk?) am running? What is the command line for doing so? [21:24] eitreach: what video card? [21:24] Lenny1729: correct [21:24] isabel575: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome ..i thought the factoid included this link. it will give you the information needed. [21:24] isabel575: do what they say there (and make sure you go to the right page depending on whether you have jaunty, ibex, etc.) [21:24] Scunizi, An Nvidia Geforce 8600GT. [21:24] Roasted: doubt it [21:24] Hello Everyone! I am trying to connect my Portable HD but when i connect the HD to usb port the dmesg doesn't show any sign of detecting it :( what the problem? [21:24] Lenny1729: Ohh okay, hmm, well you could download ndiswrapper, the "real" driver, and whatever would be needed to install it and then install it when you are in your new system :) [21:24] zaoul1... [21:24] isabel575: well they are two commands [21:24] eitreach: and did you enable the restricted drivers? [21:24] Roasted: that kind of perm makes no sense [21:25] angelv: can you mount the array manually? [21:25] actually, it kind of does. [21:25] isabel575: yes, at the top of that page it will give you an option to chose which version of ubuntu you're using. [21:25] eitreach: I should backtrack.. did you just install? [21:25] Scunizi, Composite works fine, Gnome just won't start it automatically. I have to manually start Compiz. [21:25] trism, will the autoremove work for the kde libraries too? [21:25] eaxexee: Okay, okay and then after that run the "hardware driver" tool, right? [21:25] I want a user to be able to read/write/do whatever inside of /media/storage, but I dont want them to be able to delete storage. [21:25] so what permission to I assign to the folder? [21:25] #ubuntu-pl [21:25] bastidrazor, thank you :) [21:25] isabel575: autoremove just removes dependencies that were automatically installed, after they aren't needed [21:25] yes by example i have this text http://pastebin.ca/1640675 [21:25] wait [21:25] I just realized the answer to myq uestion [21:25] ist old... but have the information [21:25] eitreach: ah.. go to System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects and make a change there. [21:26] Lenny1729: Well, Ndiswrapper is a tool designed to user Propetary (Can't remember how to spell it sorry) drivers in Linux so I don't think you would need it afterwards === Brenden_ is now known as Brenden` [21:26] a user cannot delete a folder they dont own. So if I own the folder, yet give everybody else group access, even if its RWX access they cant delet /media/storage if they dont own it. [21:26] Does anybody know if there is such a program that will allow me to keep track of multiple dynamic IP hosts remotely. I know viruses can do it, is there anything that can do that legitly? [21:26] isabel575: best of luck. please come back and let us know how well that link works for you. [21:26] Scunizi, tried that. [21:26] figured out ;) [21:26] Roasted: to delete a file you need write perms on the directory - so if someone has only rx on a directory he should not be able to delete/create files in there - but please test it [21:26] eaxexee: is there no way to download the file, that "hardware drivers" tool would download manually it provide it via a USB stick to the system [21:26] eitreach: does it let you bump the setting to the highest? [21:26] guntbert: he wants to write though [21:26] Scunizi, Yeah. [21:26] bastidrazor, where can i find out whihc ubuntu i'm on? [21:26] Lenny1729: I actually don't know, sorry :/ [21:27] skydart: uname -r? [21:27] It has worked before, just not for a while now. [21:27] eitreach: are you trying to get the cube? [21:27] http://gobolinux.org/index.php [21:27] isabel575: in a terminal type lsb_release -a [21:27] Scunizi, I want Compiz because of the desktop switching capabilities. [21:27] zaoul1 - its all good. I just realized the answer to my question above. If I own /media/storage and give the users group access, even RWX access, they can read/write but they cant delete /media/storage itself. They can delete stuff inside, but not /media/storage (the root folder, more or less) [21:27] which is what I wanted [21:27] zaoul1: of course, write perms on the file and rx on the directory should do just that (if I remember correctly) [21:27] eaxexee: okay, but thanks for your help anyway! It's always great to see how friendly users are in this chat [21:27] Scunizi, I've been using it for a few years now - I just can't get Gnome to start Compiz on its own. :) [21:27] Lenny1729: You are more than welcome :) [21:27] bastidrazor, these commands will not erase any of my files will they? [21:28] the home/usr stuff [21:28] isabel575: nothing in your home folder will be touched.. [21:28] How do I find out why packages were held back? [21:28] eitreach: not sure where to guide you here.. if nobody else chimes in try #ubuntu-effects or #compiz [21:28] angelv: can you manually mount /dev/md0 ? [21:28] Scunizi, alright. Thanks for trying. [21:29] zaoul1, please note the line: 03 and 04 [21:29] hardy [21:29] hi, can i have a bit of help, I accidentaly deleted the sound volume control (up, right corner). Could sb tell me the name of the programm please? [21:29] Hi there, I have 3 monitors(15",19" and 19") set up in this order: 15", 19", 19", and I want ALL of them to be used at the same time. I have 2 nvidia cards installed to handle it but right now I can only use the two 19" and have the last one as a separate x screen, which is NOT what I want, what I want is the same as "dualview" just with 3 screens.. [21:29] yes, i mount manually with mdadm --assemble --scan --config=/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf [21:30] assembly, later mount mount /dev/md0 /home/raid5 [21:30] gm4486: right click on the panel, add to panel, scroll down to volume control [21:30] <_akahige_> I uninstalled Wine since I wasn't using it and the apps I'd installed under Wine still appear in the apps menu. how can I get rid of them? [21:30] but i have the line on my fstab /dev/md0 /home/raid5 auto defaults 0 3 [21:30] akappa: there is a menu editor [21:31] I can't HEAR anything on my uubuntu 9.04 x64 !!!!! Anyhelp !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! [21:31] doh, last for _akahige_ [21:31] Scunizi: KVM, Kernel Virtual Machine [21:31] trism thank you a lot [21:31] wois [21:31] !alsa|MostafaSheshtawy [21:31] MostafaSheshtawy: 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 [21:31] <_akahige_> k5ehx: :) are the apps *just* in the menu, or are they installed somewhere? (obviously I can't check that since wine's no longer installed) [21:31] DSpair: that I would be lost on.. sorry [21:32] _akahige_: I believe there is a ~/.wine folder that contains your "virtual C drive", you could look for that and delete it also [21:32] in the past all mount automatically [21:32] does ati 9.10 driver work with 2.6.31? [21:32] sound issues - i find doing sudo alsa reload can fix it someimes [21:32] sometimes [21:32] k5ehx: yep, ~/.wine/drive_c/ [21:32] Scunizi: Thanks anyhow!! [21:32] blubber? [21:32] <_akahige_> k5ehx & grawity : thanks! [21:32] _akahige_: yeah, deleting that will delete your programs installed to wine [21:33] im tring to Download a Free MMORPG and it wont let me install the client hwo can i get it to install [21:33] angelv: maybe try adding the UUID of the array into fstab [21:33] MostafaSheshtawy, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sound-solutions-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html have you looked here? [21:33] when have the UUID? of /dev/md0 [21:33] nightangel: What are you trying to install? [21:33] ifn you kick me i`ll whine bitter tears of lost! ;) [21:33] nightangel: depends if the mmo supports linux or not (unlikely), if it is windows only, you'll need wine, and then it may or may not work anyway [21:34] what is the command for get the UUID? [21:34] Regnum [21:34] ghostman: Please remain ontopic, thanks [21:34] Iam on the beta version of karmic how can i upgrade to RC? any clue? [21:34] angelv: blkid [21:34] lol [21:34] smack! [21:34] ubuntistas, I believe Karmic support is still in Ubuntu+1 [21:34] /dev/md0: UUID="ec417140-5dbc-4615-9e5b-7339576489d4" TYPE="ext3" SEC_TYPE="ext2" [21:34] i have wine but it wont even open the file is says that there isnt a windows program ...... [21:34] I just installed ubuntu on an asus X5DIJ, and I can't turn on wireless network. The usual command is FN+F2, I can see on the internet that other people have had the same problem with other machines, but I cant find a solution. Does anyone know what to do? Thanks, [21:34] angelv: sudo blkid [21:35] i see two file systems [21:35] this ist correct? [21:35] quick Q's about the 2 different install downloads. Is ther a download that has both the desktop install and server install.. as i may want to use the GUI on teh server untill i get the hang of things a bit mroe and then reinstall or remove the extra's at a later date.. then also have the same install for setting up the client machines .. or is this just not what ubuntu does? [21:35] ubuntistas: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [21:35] k5ehx wois [21:35] TYPE="ext3" SEC_TYPE="ext2" [21:36] antonio_bust: ? [21:36] hi [21:36] Cpt_Zyph: you can install the desktop versiona and add the server bits or vice verse [21:36] hello, illuminati [21:36] does someone use tor ? [21:36] hi k5ehx [21:36] Cpt_Zyph: If you want a GUI, just install the desktop version and you can remove the GUI stuff later on [21:36] hey [21:36] so uh [21:36] i just installed ubuntu [21:36] rgr that thanks guys so desktop = best for single disk options on install .. rgr that [21:36] how do i make it work? [21:36] Cpt_Zyph: If you want to download a single CD that'll let you do either, the Alternate CD will let you install a GUI, or GUI-less system. === datacrusher is now known as dtcrshr [21:37] Anyone know if there is any software/setting that allows you to move/offset the screen on a TV? The output is not centered on the TV and I need to move it to the right... I have NVIDIA but can't seem to find any setting there that allows me to offset it [21:37] guys? [21:37] if you see my log http://pastebin.ca/1640664 i see this md0: unknown partition table [21:37] krummlauf, describe what you want? [21:38] Cpt_Zyph: I think desktop is a superset of server, not sure tough. [21:38] krummlauf: can you make your question a bit more generic?

[21:38] like tried to install flash [21:38] lido`: that may be because the screen isn't reading the signal correctly when you switched to it.. turn the tv off then on again to see if it fixes it [21:38] and i cant install xchat or anything [21:38] the # blkid show this /dev/md0: UUID="ec417140-5dbc-4615-9e5b-7339576489d4" TYPE="ext3" SEC_TYPE="ext2" [21:38] its frustratin! [21:38] ya this is were i get confused i'm used to fedora were you just pick during install what kind of machine it will be and what to default install with it etc... [21:38] krummlauf: do you get an error? [21:39] nightangel: they have a linux client on their site, just download and install that [21:39] yes [21:39] Cpt_Zyph: after installing the desktop you can use tasksel to install specific things like the LAMP stack [21:39] its the dumbest thing ever4 [21:39] yea i did but its not opening [21:39] on my system [21:39] thats why im here [21:39] Scunizi rgr .. what exactly is tasksel.. and what does ubuntu use thats similar to yum or does it also use yum?

[21:40] ok [21:40] im running 9.04 [21:40] krummlauf: you have to plug it in. :-) [21:40] jumping jackalope or whatever [21:40] Cpt_Zyph: it uses apt.. tasksel is available from System>Admin>Synaptic Package manager..>edit>choose packages by task [21:40] jaunty jackalope [21:40] i forget [21:40] so i try to install flash or whatever in the terminal [21:40] !enter | krummlauf [21:40] krummlauf: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:41] ok sorry [21:41] so i look up the code, and type the code in for flash, and it gives me some long dumb error [21:41] nightangel: it looks like a bin file, just make sure it is chmod 755 and run it on the command line (./name_of_file_here) [21:41] its freakin dumb [21:41] krummlauf, paste the error, in pastebin..

[21:42] krummlauf: so your ubuntu works, your real problem is that you cannot play flash applications [21:43] ? [21:43] yeah it works [21:43] it just wont accept my freakin code [21:43] krummlauf, as you arent doing it the way its supposed to be [21:43] krummlauf: again - can you be a bit more generic? [21:43] ok so where is this chmod 755 located at im kinda new to ubuntu [21:43] !flash > krummlauf (krummlauf, see the private message from ubottu) [21:43] ok [21:43] krummlauf, Maybe if you showed us the "code" you used [21:43] krummlauf: you're being too specific in the description of your problems, really [21:43] krummlauf: also, *i am being sarcastic* [21:43] :P [21:43] LjL: lol, exactly [21:43] well, i cant really describe it because im on windows [21:43] LjL: are you sure that irony is in place here? ("generic") [21:43] and i was drunk while i did this [21:44] guntbert: i am sure that trolling isn't, and i strongly suspect this is a case of it [21:44] does ubuntu come out with new versions every 6 months or longer? [21:44] nightangel: chmod 755 file_name_here on the command line Applications/Accessories/Terminal, make sure you are in the same directory as the file [21:44] so if i switched to ubuntu, i wouldnt be able to get on irc [21:44] Afternoon everyone well I am running Ubuntu 9.10 RC and I was wondering if it's possible to change the boot screen [21:44] * Scunizi smells a small furry humanoid that lives under a brigde [21:44] because it wont install anything [21:44] do you see the problem here? [21:44] nightangel: ls lists the contents of directories and cd changes directories [21:44] dude i am not trolling [21:44] Cpt_Zyph, yes [21:45] so if the file is on desktop that is the directory that i need right [21:45] i was drunk while trying to use ubuntu [21:45] krummlauf: "sudo apt-get install xchat" will allow you to install an IRC client (xchat - substitute "irssi" for installing irssi). if that doesn't work, i'm afraid you *will* hav to copy down the actual errors and tell us. [21:45] ljl: ok [21:45] fine [21:45] Cpt_Zyph: every 6 mths.. yes.. and every 3 years is a LTS release.. long term support.. support for the other releases is 18 mths.. LTS server is 5 years [21:45] LjL, Scunizi maybe your noses are more sensitive :) [21:45] thanks guys [21:45] nightangel: yeah, on the desktop would be cd ~/Desktop (capital d is important) [21:45] !software > krummlauf (krummlauf, see the private message from ubottu) check this out too, and see what happens if you try installing while sober [21:45] btw i *DID* type that in [21:45] crappy dumb ubuntu gave me an error message [21:45] how is that good? [21:45] guntbert: :) [21:45] Cpt_Zyph, but there are LTS too, supported for 3 years... [21:45] !lts > Cpt_Zyph [21:45] Cpt_Zyph, please see my private message [21:45] people keep saying use ubuntu its so great! well guys, here to tell you the product stinks [21:45] i re-booting this machine, after enter again... [21:45] any torent downloads or only via there web page? i would like to start the download torrent remote so it will be there when i get home i must be over looking [21:46] krummlauf, once again, complaining that ubuntu is "crappy" will serve no purpose. random complaining will serve no purpose. desist from it, please. [21:46] Cpt_Zyph: there is a torrent link on ubuntu.com.. [21:46] ok [21:46] krummlauf: come back when you have actual error messages to show us. [21:46] krummlauf, why does it stink, what is the problem [21:46] krummlauf: good luck! [21:46] im just super frustrated [21:46] ok [21:46] kk ill try it [21:46] i will [21:46] krummlauf: please stop your ranting [21:46] later guys [21:46] krummlauf: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:46] :P [21:46] sigh [21:46] how do i put sbin in my PATH? [21:46] Cpt_Zyph, check out ubuntu.com [21:46] you guys have more patience for trolls than I do [21:47] arvind_khadri i'm missing the torrent link i guess [21:47] Is there a way to change the ubuntu 9.10 boot screen [21:48] danny, that would be #ubuntu+1 [21:48] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors [21:48] Cpt_Zyph, yeah, just check out the site, you will find it.. [21:49] and i'm guess'n i386 will work on intel / and amd chips vs amd only install for amd chips [21:49] i need to get mp3 encoder for vlc.. how do i get that? which packages? [21:49] Cpt_Zyph: Nope, any 64-bit chip. [21:49] ok i changed directories how do i do this chmod 755 thing [21:49] Cpt_Zyph: Well, x86_64 [21:49] Cpt_Zyph, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt [21:49] i see thx guys take care a baby is being born i have to relocate [21:49] Cpt_Zyph: check this link.. on the right side and down in the page under "More Options" http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [21:49] swindle: how did you loose it? [21:49] the only entry to bath i see in .bashrc is "export PATH=$PATH:." [21:49] nightangel: chmod 755 file_name_here, it makes a file executable [21:50] where do i add sbin to my path [21:50] nightangel: or sudo +x [21:50] chmod 755 RegnumOnlineInstall_32 like that [21:50] nightangel: yep [21:51] so the entire line would look like nightangel@Wolf-Den:~/Desktop$ chmod 755 RegnumOnlineInstall_32 [21:51] nightangel: yep [21:51] hehe found it [21:51] nightangel@Wolf-Den:~/Desktop$ [21:51] did it and thats was the next line [21:52] nightangel, that means it worked fine :) [21:52] swindle, sbin should already be in your $PATH, use echo $PATH to see it [21:52] ok mind explaining a lil bit what you had me just do [21:52] nightangel: that's fine, now you probably need to sudo ./RegnumOnlineInstall_32 [21:52] i have some additional keys on my laptop, i remember that once there was utility called 'scancode' or 'scankey' that'd show what key code was received from keyboard, i can't find it in ubuntu repos now, though. how can i check what key code was sent from my kbd? [21:52] nightangel: although they might let you install it locally [21:53] swindle, FYI - having "." in your path, and your current /sbin in path is NOT a good idea for security. If you don't wish to follow *nix conventions that is your own business, but I'd suggest against it. Best of luck. [21:53] is the alternate torrent = the ppc version? [21:53] so will that comand work on any game file that i want to install on my system [21:53] its possible to make ftp server to accept connection from specified ftp client user agent ? [21:53] Cpt_Zyph: no it's a text based installer [21:53] Cpt_Zyph: alternate is the text-mode installer, it supports a few different install options [21:54] behappy, not sure but I think you can do that with ssh and scp [21:54] nightangel: not necessarily, that is just the kind of installer they are using, some may use deb packages, or install scripts [21:54] i have a problem with gnome desktop... the icons are not positioning in a grid [21:54] hi - do you know a prog that display pressed keys (for making video tutoriials)? [21:54] or may be able to do something like that with hosts.allow not sure [21:54] janisozaur, xev ?? [21:54] i see.. well hummm god i feel tarded.. were is teh ppc release link.. ( i asked in #ubuntu-ppc how ever there were only 15 people in there and 0 response ) [21:55] ZykoticK9, i thought having . in PATH is fine as long as it goes after /bin:/sbin etc [21:55] zleap1, with ftp its possble ? [21:55] forkhandles, - is your nick anything to do with the two ronnies sketch [21:55] i have a problem with gnome desktop... the icons are not positioning in a grid - like in windows... what can i do? [21:55] docmax: right mouse click in a blank area and see if "keep aligned" is checked [21:55] behappy, ok, not sure how to do it though [21:55] janisozaur, try out showkey --> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man1/showkey.1.html [21:55] usser, well that's "better" anyways [21:55] Cpt_Zyph, google it.. [21:55] keep alinged is checked [21:56] mechdave, arvind_khadri thanks, i'll try these out [21:56] docmax, right click and do arrange by name [21:56] !google | arvind_khadri [21:56] arvind_khadri: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [21:57] mechdave: i think it was showkey, just with --scancode and i just remembered it name wrong ;) [21:57] arvind_khadri, they are aranged now... but when moving the are not really fixed.... the icons overlap easily... [21:57] hi hackers [21:57] ZykoticK9, got it...would keep in mind [21:58] Cpt_Zyph: ah.. you still need ppc? they may have dropped it.... [21:58] docmax, i guess, thats how its meant to be...not sure though. [21:58] i got Ubuntu today :) [21:58] i take over of Windows [21:58] midocrash, cool [21:59] yeh cooooooooool [21:59] very cool [21:59] !ppc > Cpt_Zyph [21:59] Cpt_Zyph, please see my private message [21:59] can i change the desktop manager? [21:59] it's so fast and simple [21:59] which version i take it 9.04 [21:59] that's what i love of ubuntu [21:59] docmax: sure.. what do you want? [21:59] midocrash, if you're looking for general Ubuntu chat use #ubuntu-offtopic -- #ubuntu is for support issues only [21:59] OK [21:59] docmax, you can change between gnome / kde / xubuntu depending on what desktop you want [21:59] zleap1: funniest comedy sketch ever written :) [21:59] forkhandles, yeah [22:00] a manager which handles the icon-fixing better [22:00] i need some ose [22:00] no letter o's [22:00] lol [22:00] i installed ubuntu .. how can i switch gnome to xfce? [22:00] its on you tube somewhere [22:00] zleap1, yes -- look at "sessions" in GDM when you log in - lets you choose with Desktop environment or Windows Manager you want [22:00] docmax, you might try ditching icons altogether and go with gnome-do/docky [22:00] what is gnome-do? [22:00] ZykoticK9, don't they ahve to be installed though [22:01] docmax: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop then on the login screen change "sessions" to xfce4 [22:01] zleap1, of course [22:01] docmax, http://do.davebsd.com/ [22:01] usser: now that'll confuse him :) [22:01] usser: sorry.. didn't realize he was asking about it [22:01] its something like apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [22:02] hello... i'm interested in switching to ubuntu from windows xp and have two hard disks, both ntfs... one has my music files... i can't lose these files. will i be able to access my files without formatting the disk? [22:02] ola [22:02] but you should be able to do that from synaptic [22:02] scottica: yes [22:02] if I have an ubuntu box running in run level 3, is it possible to have remote clients log in using remote desktop or does the xserver have to be active? [22:02] Scunizi, he wasnt. i just kinda threw it out there. i know i havent needed icons on a desktop for a long while [22:02] scunizi: anything special need to be done? [22:03] hello [22:04] helloooooooooooooooooooo [22:04] PyroPhelia, to use remote desktop type app, x has to be running. You should be able to ssh into the box and start x applications though. [22:04] scottica: are you going to eliminate windows entirly or do you want to dual boot or do you just want to test ubuntu to see if you like it? [22:04] scottica: it will recognize them automagically. Do you already have ubuntu installed or are you going to have to setup the partitions? [22:04] whats that [22:04] scunizi: i'm planning on eliminating windows entirely [22:04] windows va [22:05] jjnw, I know, but i'd rather not waste the ram on the system for 1 user who shouldn't have access to the server in the first place. If you don't know how to use the shell you shouldn't be using linux. but I got over ruled :( [22:05] jjnw, thanks though [22:05] mattgyver: i have yet to install ubuntu === Brenden_ is now known as Brenden` [22:05] scottica: then install only to the drive that has windows.. do you have any music that has "licensing" drm like iTunes stuff? [22:06] scottica: i would backup your data, your gonna have to setup the partitoins for ubuntu and its easy to accidently wipe your data if you havent done it before. [22:06] PyroPhelia, no problem. As far as I'm aware, remote desktops apps. are more 'screen scraper' [22:06] scunizi: no drm [22:06] hello [22:06] mattgyver: sounds good [22:06] Hello, I am Spanish help not much of English but alone I say q windows in a roll [22:06] scottica: to be safe.. disconnect the music files drive when installing.. then there will be no oops moments [22:06] !es | aguasala [22:06] aguasala: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [22:07] scottica: its not that hard but, i would do it. If yoru able to put ubuntu and your swap as the last partitions you can just leave the ntfs file systems and it will recognize them (you probably need to mount them manually, or add to fstab) [22:07] scunizi, mattgyver: thank you very much [22:08] mattgyver: he's going to use one entire drive for ubuntu and the other has music [22:08] hello [22:08] hi [22:09] nobody here but us chickens [22:09] excuse me... penguins [22:12] why cant i find a karmic minimal iso??

[22:36] Scunizi, how can i check what's using those rights? on the system monitor? [22:36] Mariandroid -> yes, shouldnt be that long.. btw, you have your /home in a separate partition? [22:36] yes [22:36] isabel575: do you have synaptic package manager open? [22:36] n8tuser: yes [22:36] oosp [22:36] Scunizi, nope [22:36] Mariandroid -> then it will not be too bad to re-install, should be around 25 mins or so [22:36] isabel575: hummmm... log out and back in and try again..

[22:38] n8tuser: Oki, that was greek to me, but I figure I'll just go for it then [22:38] n8tuser: thank you =) [22:39] Mariandroid -> read the ubottu paste again, its not difficult [22:39] Is it possible to install the BBC iPlayer software (for downloading programmes rather than streaming) system wide?

[22:39] or mplayer with dumping [22:39] n8tuser: just a question: if Mariandroid messed up the permissions in his home directory - how would a reinstall help? [22:40] pyhacker: ctrl+alt+F2 log in.. then cd /etc/X11 and then ls to display files.. look for a backup of xorg.. might have a tilde ~ or .backup in the file name.. then mv xorg.conf ... then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [22:40] it's not my home directory guntbert, it's my root [22:40] guntbert -> it would have root permission i supposed? so to recover it would not be extremely difficult for /home [22:40] ( and 'her' ) [22:40] am assuming she only had one user too [22:41] Scunizi: thanks for repliying but i tried pressing ctrl+alt+F2 to log in but it doesn't work. It doesn't respond to anything once it shows the messed up pixels. [22:41] n8tuser: there are four users... [22:41] so I was asking this in 4chan but they directed me here [22:41] pyhacker: hit the combination a couple of times in a row.. [22:41] if I were to install Ubuntu and wanted at some later point add another HDD, how could I expand my /home there? [22:42] Mariandroid -> perhaps you can take care of that first, change the perms of respective owners of /home/username1 for example [22:42] Scunizi: oh, I will try. [22:42] Mariandroid: n8tuser ok sorry, I didn't look at the whole conversation - Mariandroid please follow n8tuser's advice [22:42] daedaluz: you could move your /home there with no problem.. if you just wanted to extend the space for /home you'll need to install LVM when you install ubuntu.. [22:42] * Mariandroid will try [22:42] n8tuser: guntbert: I'll try [22:42] Mariandroid -> do all four of them one by one [22:43] pyhacker: if that doesn't work.. on the boot grub menu there is a rescue option.. go there [22:43] Scunizi: ok. anything I should know about LVM vs. regular partitioning? [22:43] Scunizi: I know what LVM means [22:44] daedaluz: lots.. but I don't know how to use LVM.. it's been explained to me and I can see it's benefits but have never used it [22:44] Scunizi, i logged out and i gget the same output [22:44] isabel575: remind me what we're talking about.. I've been chatting a lot today [22:44] I'm trying to understand something with Linux permissions. How is it set up, exactly? It seems as if the permissions on certain files are really dictated by the folder they're in. For example, my folder I'm speaking of (storage) is owned by jason:smbusers with 775 permissions. "user" is a member of smbusers. On the account user, I can delete files within "storage" that are owned by jason:jason, so user has no involvement with o [22:44] wning that particular file. Yet, Ican delete it. Is that because of the directory permissions being 775 with jason:smbusers as owner? [22:45] daedaluz: see http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_lvm [22:45] RoastedTiresX: yep.. the user jason is a member of the smbusers group [22:46] scunizi - right. but "user" is not a member of the group jason. Yet I can delete a file owned by jason:jason within storage when I'm logged in as user. Is that just becuase the folder the file is in (storage) is owned by group smbusers? [22:47] I am having performance problems with ati/radeon drivers under 9.04. My hardware is Thinkpad X32 with ATI Mobility L6 MY. Anybody got around this issue? Screen redrawing under X feels really sluggish. [22:47] RoastedTiresX: adding and removing files follows the permissions of the parent directory [22:47] when is UNR 9.10 out? [22:48] guys need help moving files from ext3 to ntfs partition via live cd i keep getting access denied [22:48] su root [22:48] RoastedTiresX -> including ability to read through a dir, is subject to the parents dir perms [22:48] or mount -rw [22:48] !su | stuff [22:48] stuff: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [22:49] billiard - But even though it "follows" the permissions of the parent directory, it doesn't "apply" them. For example - storage is owned by jason:smbusers. Why is it when I add a file within storage, it takes on jason:jason permissions and not jason:smbusers if it follows the parent directory? [22:49] anyone help please [22:49] !noroot|stuff [22:49] stuff: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [22:49] stuff: please don't recommend that here [22:49] I have a freshly installed server that hangs on a GRUB screen. Where do I start my investigation? [22:49] guys need help moving files from ext3 to ntfs partition via live cd i keep getting access denied [22:49] RoastedTiresX: by default new files take the owner and group of the creator, you can set the setgid bit on the directory then new files will be created with the directory's group id [22:50] system4041: you need to mount the NTFS partition read / write [22:50] Billiard - hmm, how do I set the setgid? Is that a bad idea (security issue?) [22:50] k5ehx: but im in a live cd i need to move files from my unbootable ubuntu 9.04 to my bootable windows 7 ntfs partition [22:50] RoastedTiresX: chmod g+s directory [22:51] lol, I forgot, this is ubuntu [22:51] lol [22:51] Billiard - ...thats it? If I just run chmod g+s on storage thats all I need to do? [22:51] Billiard - what does the g+s stand for? [22:51] anyway, when is UNR 9.10 out? [22:51] system4041: um, I can't remember. The live CD used to mount things read only. [22:52] RoastedTiresX: its not a security issue if you want files in that directory to automatically have the group set [22:52] RoastedTiresX: permissions is a long discussion.. and I don't have it all down.. basically if the file/folder is owned by you only then you have full permission. if you are a member of a group that is not your group then you have rights to that group but still typically need sudo to delete files there. [22:52] k5ehx: basicly i need sudo access to my ext3 partition via live cd so as to move files to my ntfs partition [22:52] .j #chipp[l [22:52] scunizi - unless that group has RWX rights. [22:52] system4041: it should mount your ext3 partition if it is valid [22:53] RoastedTiresX: yes.. rwxrwxrwx.. permissions are 3 blocks of 3 [22:53] system4041: if not you may have to repair it [22:53] !permissions | RoastedTiresX [22:53] RoastedTiresX: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [22:53] k5ehx: it is valid but i dont have the access to move the files it keeps saying access denied [22:53] scunizi - right... but if the group has rwx permissions, the group can freely delete/write files as they wish. [22:53] system4041: you want to copy instead of move, and you have to mount the NTFS partition writable to do that. [22:53] k5ehx: like trying to edit a file in live cd u have to open it with sudo in gedit in order to save your changes well i need such access in file explorer so as to move my files === ogra_ is now known as ogra [22:54] Scunizi: No good, I pressed ctrl+alt+F2 many times and it doesn't respond [22:54] system4041: ahh, I think you want to use gksudo and run the browser (nautilus?) manually [22:54] k5ehx: The folder ".ssh" cannot be handled because you do not have permissions to read it. [22:55] Billiard - I just ran chmod g+s on a folder to test it, and ls -l gave me this. drwxrwsr-x 2 jason smbusers 4096 2009-10-23 17:53 x. What's with the rws? [22:55] k5ehx: howd i do that [22:55] system4041: like hit alt-f2, type "gksudo nautilus" or /usr/bin/whatever, dunno where it is. [22:55] RoastedTiresX: that shows the setgid bit is set, which is what you want [22:55] ciao! [22:55] Hello [22:55] billiard - I see. So its just a way from terminal to know that that directory has g+s rights. === Zico is now known as Exatic [22:56] RoastedTiresX: yes, a small s means x is also set [22:56] system4041: yeah, "gksudo nautilus" works on my 9.04 install [22:56] billiard - is there a way to automatically apply 775 rights to anything I dump in a folder? I know I can hit "apply permissions to enclosed files" in the GUI on the parent folder, which is simple, but figured I'd ask. [22:56] pyhacker: try rebooting and on the grub menu choose rescue [22:56] k5ehx: that done the trick my files are copying over now thanks for your help dude [22:57] system4041: sorry it took me a bit to figure out what you meant. :-) [22:57] Scunizi: --there is a recover mode, i tried it, but none of it's help options actually fix anything. [22:57] tst [22:57] RoastedTiresX: i dont know of an easy way, there might be some kind of settings somewhere for certain directory rules [22:57] hrbllv66: it works [22:58] k5ehx: lol cool man thanks i been spendin hours trying to find apps for windows that will read my ext3 partition so i could copy files over but none seemed to work in win 7 ultimate shoulda just came here first lmao cheers again man [22:58] jut testing irrsi [22:58] Hello. Im trying to awn to work, but everytime i try to start it says my screen is not in composit and i need to run compiz [22:58] billiard - all good. The group thing is a big thing though. It was a pain for me to use terminal all of the time to change it. Its nice to know something like setgid is here. [22:58] i have tried to run compiz from terminal, it doesent help [22:58] RoastedTiresX: also directories created in a directory with the setgid bit will also have the setgid bit set [22:58] system4041: yeah, you'd think windows would make it easier to migrate from linux. :-) [22:58] billiard - good to know. [22:59] lol windows is gay but it has its uses [22:59] Exatic: Can you pastebin the output of compiz? Also, it might be helpful if you come to #compiz so we can help you get compiz working [22:59] billiard - so setgid isnt always the route to go with when setting up permissions, for say, a large file server. [22:59] billiard - well actually I take that back [22:59] pyhacker: go there again and when you get the menu choose terminal. then do the things I mentioned before. [22:59] billiard - cause you can just setgid to each users individual folder so anything they create gets their own group id you set it to. [23:00] RoastedTiresX: it depends what you want that directory for, if you want to share files between people and all have rw permissions it can be useful [23:00] Scunizi: ok, will try. [23:02] Billiard - yeah. I was just thinking at work... I work at a school district sotheres a ton of file servers for teachers and such. I was thinking setgid would be bad to use, but I was thinking you had to use it on the root directory of where the shares are. But in reality, say you have /media/storage/users/then all of the teacher shares there. [23:02] Hey can someone help me? [23:02] billiard - youc ould just chmod g+s to each individual teacher share so they get the same group for each folder. [23:02] I am trying to install drivers and I have a file called a makefile with a bunch of code in it how do i open it? [23:03] billiard - I was thinking using it on /media/storage/users would be bad, but I wasnt thinking that you could just apply it to each teacher folder itself. [23:03] do any of you guys know much about wine? [23:03] DuckGod, yo [23:03] whats up? [23:04] DuckGod, I know a bit about wine, why?

[23:05] DuckGod, term [23:06] Mavs, does it runs anything currently? [23:06] DuckGod, You can set most wine options in there -- one is the virtual desktop [23:06] DuckGod, helps if your chipset blows with a fullscreen app [23:06] DuckGod, among other things [23:06] It takes a while to login to my school's solaris box if not on the campus network, so when I try to SFTP with nautilus, it times out.

[23:06] it runs xp and modified ubuntu [23:06] Mavs: If it has Windows on, download the .iso from Ubuntu.com and mount it with Daemon Tools Lite or similar [23:06] jolicloud [23:06] Mavs: install to hard drive with a different machine that has a cd drive [23:06] RoastedTiresX: np [23:07] I don't want wubi [23:07] Mavs, if windows, there are ubuntu installers, if another linux you can bootstrap ubuntu the same as debian providing you have network and at least an 100 mb free partition [23:07] goole bootstrap ubuntu [23:08] hello all, I'm trying to figure out what wireless chipset is in this laptop [23:08] only have ssh access [23:08] i can get my games an programs to work but when i do the configuration for the virtual desktop it jus sticks on the top of the screen an i cant read the rest of the configuration options [23:08] hi, sorry, but my newly burnt ubuntu desktop 9.10 RC is not working, it boots in computer fine, but when I select try or install, I get booted to a flashing command prompt [23:08] hmmhesays: lspci === thesex is now known as Insomniac` [23:08] 09:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

[23:14] freaky... mine does... even the live disk [23:15] Anyone around for some kde help? [23:15] Insomniac`: I suppose you could blacklist it. But you might just try apt-get --fix-broken [23:15] RussellAlan: What do you need? [23:16] I have no taskbar nor do I have launcher. [23:16] I am on 9.10, someone told me to apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [23:16] RussellAlan: it should come with gnome already insalled [23:16] when i restarted it took me into gnome naturally.. now I switched over to kde, and I have a desktop. Not like the kubuntu desktop with widgets and what not. === auk is now known as auk0 [23:17] Bluey: I installed kubuntu naturally, then upgraded to karmic. [23:17] Should I just do a fresh install? [23:17] * Bluey is not a kde guy.... [23:17] or is there hope? =D [23:17] sell me on gnome [23:17] ;-) [23:17] RussellAlan: I always do fresh installs [23:17] Gnome has cookies. [23:18] and - "there's no place like gnome!" [23:18] My 9.10 LiveCD is not working too well, what do I do? [23:18] yay cookies [23:18] jezlee: did you md5sum check it? [23:18] yes [23:19] Regarding your problem, a full uninstallation of a window manager takes more than just uninstalling the meta-package. For instance, installing gnome and KDE side to side has the effect of having both Gnome and KDE native apps available in both environments, but simply uninstalling "ubuntu-desktop" doesn't get rid of gnome. [23:19] jezlee: can you try it on another system? [23:19] te, apt-get --fix-broken does not work, it just shows the listing options [23:19] Bluey It boots fine, but when i select "try" or "install" it does somethings then boots me to an unusable flashing command prompt screen [23:20] So if you can find out which specific packages to uninstall you might be able to fix it back to only kde, or gnome, or whatever you want. [23:20] But a fresh install might be faster. [23:20] At least, that's as far as I know. [23:20] jezlee: is the the beta or daily build? 32 or 64 bit? [23:20] I could be wrong, though, so get a second opinion. [23:20] yeah, fresh install might fix all my problems [23:20] Bluey it is ubuntu Desktop 9.10 32bit Release Candidate [23:21] jezlee: dunno you are first person to report problems with it... [23:21] jezlee: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1295120 but that's for an installation, not the live disk [23:21] what's the area in UNR at the top of the screen called where applications tabs go? I removed it by mistake. === pauljw_vm is now known as pauljw [23:22] Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu for the first time, and am doing so on a windows netbook ((eeePC 1005HA). I've followed all the instructions online, and checked the md5 sums of everything I was able to, but wubi will not run. Where might I get some help? [23:22] (Thanks in advance!) [23:23] well karmic koala official release is the 29th, so maybe ill wait to do fresh install then [23:24] WiresAP -> try netbootin for a true install, wubi is more like a try out and kick the tires [23:24] unetbootin [23:24] thanks - will now take a look at that [23:24] bonjour a toutes et a tous :) [23:24] !fr [23:24] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [23:25] Is there any noticable performance difference (for a regular user, not a server admin) when using xfs instead of ext4? [23:26] Can someone tell me the difference between 'clear' and 'clear_console'? [23:26] ascheel, terminal is not console :) [23:26] I'm not sure I understand what you mean, usser. [23:27] ascheel, in other words clear_console works only on real consoles, the kind you get when you press ctrl+alt+f2 [23:27] usser, I disagree. clear_console was in my .bash_logout and it certainly was clearing my ssh screen when I 'exite'ed [23:28] 'exit'ed [23:28] usser, when I commented it from .bash_logout, my screen no longer cleared on exit [23:29] I recreated my Xconf file, and that is the reason, i suspect, why my ubuntu doesn't load anymore. After the loading bar i get a screen with messed up pixels and it doesn't respond to anything. I tried going into recovery mode and finding the Xconf file and doing mv (what i thought was the backup) as suggested here, but it didn't help. Is there anything else I can do? I'm on a liveCD right now, is it possib [23:29] ascheel, were you ssh'ing from a real terminal or something like xterm or gnome-terminal [23:29] usser, from gnome-terminal [23:29] pyhacker: could you hit ctrl+alt+f1 when you had the "messed up pixels" [23:29] usser: from an ubuntu laptop to my ubuntu server at home === yamokidzu-it is now known as ^ub-it_wan [23:30] i compiled madwifi [23:30] Billiard: I tried presseing ctrl+alt+2 many times and it didn't do anything. Same with ctrl+alt+1 (though i didn't press it lots of timeS). [23:30] using xterm-256color emulation if that matters [23:30] pyhacker: you tried using the vesa driver to see if it loads the desktop? [23:30] usser: ^^^ [23:30] modprobe ath_pci, it loaded, but still my wireless does not show up in iwconfig [23:30] ascheel, hm strange, i just tried it here, from gnome-terminal and it says clear_console: terminal is not a console [23:30] pyhacker: f1 f2 [23:30] XsCode: Don't understand--what do you mean? [23:30] usser, not sure. Try clear_console -q [23:31] chance the device string to vesa in xorg.conf [23:31] Billiard: I tried f1.... i suspect that it doesn't respond to anything. [23:31] pyhacker: ctrl alt f1 ? [23:31] is it possible to use dd to wrote a whole harddrive to a file, to be restored later using DD ??? [23:31] Billiard: Yes [23:32] usser: interesting. It will clear it if I'm SSH'ed home, but not on my local session. [23:32] XsCode: So i should try to use the recovery mode terminal to try and edit the Xconf file and change device to vesa? [23:32] pyhacker: ok, in the recovery console, `dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg` ? [23:33] Billiard: I tried something very similar "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" (as i read on a forum) but this had no effect. [23:34] pyhacker: try manually eding your xorg.conf file maybe, to more generic settings [23:34] hence vesa :) === jeremy_ is now known as Guest25001 [23:34] ok so how should i do it? [23:35] is it possible to use dd to wrote a whole harddrive to a file, to be restored later using DD ??? [23:35] pyhacker: recovery console `nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf` [23:35] X7: thats possible [23:35] According to top, a large majority of my CPU time is in iowait. What are some tools I can use to figure out what this IO is (eg, HDD or network, or what?) [23:36] Billiard, how do I go about doing that? i would just use dd from one hd to another but there is only one ide slot on this machine [23:36] anyone had any luck with vb under mono? [23:36] Billiard: OK i will try to do this, this will open the file, right? Then i'll change devise to vesa. Is that correct? [23:36] pyhacker: yeah you could change the resolution to something lower maybe too 800600 or 640480 [23:37] X7: then i dont know how you will copy one hard drive to the other [23:37] Billiard, i will save the file on to a usb stick.... [23:37] ascheel & usser: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/39068 [23:37] What is the command to format a drive as fat? [23:37] Billiard: Alright, i will try to this now.... [23:37] UserX: stay away from .net lol [23:37] Billiard, do you know the command ? [23:37] X7: your usb stick is bigger than your hard drive? [23:37] is there any GTK grep out there? [23:38] Billiard, yes, bigger than the old harddrie. [23:38] drive* [23:38] X7: then you can use dd for that [23:38] hey guys, everytime my user "dave" uploads a file into a certain dir I want it to be "-rw-r--r-- 1 root root" .... I'm guessing I'll have to change his umask for this, how would that be possible?A [23:38] Schiz0: fuser, gnome-system-monitor [23:38] Raugturi: thank you VERY much! :) next question... what's ncurses? [23:38] Billiard, I don't want to DD the usb stick, just DD this HD to a file to copy on to the usb.............. [23:39] X7: you can do that [23:39] anyone? [23:39] ascheel: I'll let someone more knowledgable than me field that one. [23:39] Billiard, ok, obviously you did not listen, and realize I needed the command to do so. [23:39] Billiard, thanks anyway. [23:39] Gluac: you cant do that easily [23:39] X7: you did not ask for a command ever [23:39] X7: you asked if it was possible [23:39] Billiard: thanks [23:39] Billiard, i asked if you knew the command earlier [23:40] X7: sorry didnt see that === c4pt_ is now known as c4pt [23:40] Billiard, so what is the cmd to write a HD to 1 file using dd ? [23:40] dd of /dev/sda1 > file.name ? [23:40] X7, dd if=/dev/sda of=file.img [23:40] X7: sorry yes that works [23:41] My line 2 in fstab files turned out to be bad... [23:41] can someone please look in /lib/oss-compat/linux and tell me if there is a file that is symlinked to /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf? i am getting a failure to install a new kernel image. here's a pic http://img259.imageshack.us/my.php?image=linuximage.png [23:41] what should I do to resolve this issue? [23:41] Billiard: can I atleast make it so it's "-rw-r--r-- [23:41] X7, man dd [23:41] laclasse, ok thanks, can you tell me how to specify in that command writing that file to a specific location ? [23:41] LinuX2half: what does the line say? [23:41] ascheel: ncurses it's a console based interface, you can draw buttons and frames in text mode with it. [23:41] X7, yes, go and read the ouitput of the command 'man dd' [23:41] laclasse, ok [23:41] thanks, fbianconi. :) That makes sense. [23:42] Gluac: setting his umask to 0022 should do that i think [23:42] X7, dd if=/dev/sda of=/INSERT/WHERE/YOU/WANT/file.img [23:42] ascheel:ubuntu2009@unbuntu2009-laptop:~$ sudo mount -a [23:42] [mntent]: line 2 in /etc/fstab is bad [23:42] can someone tell me how to get my monitor to work? [23:43] X7: your `dd if=/dev/sda > pathtofile/image.dd` works too [23:43] LinuX2half: you have to give us line 2 of your fstab [23:43] I can only set the resultion to 600x 500 or somthing.. [23:43] Anyone else have problems doing an IP whois in ERC in emacs? [23:43] fbianconi: to do what? [23:43] fbianconi: with ncurses ?? [23:43] laclasse, Billiard thanks. and then i would use, dd if=/image.img of=/new/hard/drive? [23:43] yes [23:43] kk. [23:44] ascheel:http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/d5a51cd05 [23:44] laclasse, one last q, i know i will need to resize it from gparted, but can I run the copy of the old HD from a running ubuntu system or, must it be a live-cd? [23:44] How do you increase the resolution of linux I only have two settings on mine and my moniter isnt being detected. [23:44] X7: i wouldnt dd to a new hard drive unless its ecactly the same size, you will have to resize the partitions if its not [23:44] Billiard, yea i read about that, can be solved with a live-cd [23:45] X7: yea it can [23:45] how do I find what linux kernel is on a live cd or usb drive aside from booting it? [23:45] is it going to matter if I dd this hd to a .img while its running? [23:45] X7, any operation as low level as re imaging / dd ing drive, better be in an outside environment (live-cd) and chroot in as needed [23:45] LinuX2half: try getting rid of the second 'swap' in that line. [23:45] oh there you all are lol [23:45] X7, YES. [23:45] X7: i wouldnt do it while its mounted [23:45] making it: /dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0 [23:45] ok, ... what is chroot?
