[01:18] Random832, yes unallocated, grey in gparted === jay is now known as Guest98984 [01:19] so wait... you have unallocated space between sda1 and sda2? [01:19] Innomen2: pidgin is on the live cd isn't it? [01:19] and you can't move sda2 to the left into it?

My laptop fan is on during grub [01:21] Korlis, i'm in the livecd, nothing is mounted as far as i know [01:21] And shuts off as soon as Ubuntu boots [01:21] why is banshee using up to 100% of my cpu over 30 sec if i switch track [01:22] how can i get an older version of banshee [01:22] @velko And really over 300 people tried to convince me that I trash the ubuntu server, because of the freebsd, like its 5 times less demanding with over 10 times less load for the same job, and I'm stubborn for the ubuntu, I dont know what to do [01:22] wow kismet thats insane, what kind of cpu you got [01:22] Is there a good place to go to for Unetbootin help? [01:22] kismet, if you get fed up with banshee, (i did) exhail (sic?) is a good replacement. [01:22] pentium m 2.13 GHz [01:22] Kismet: If you installed it with apt-get, you may be able to select the version [01:23] yeah i did installed it with apt Geekneeus [01:23] Lopta|t_a|, i always wondered why people install ubuntu on a server ;) [01:23] If there's a lower version available you can force the package version [01:23] velko: i use debian on servers and ubuntu on desktops [01:23] i exhail....??? Innomen2 [01:23] Right click it in synaptic, and go to version to check [01:24] Geekneeus: how can i downgrade it? with apt-get [01:24] it's in properties [01:24] kismet, gogole it, its a music player i have the spelling wrong, i cant open a browser, sorry :/ [01:24] okay Innomen2 [01:24] kismet : select package -> force version [01:25] kismet: Package is on the top menu of synaptic [01:25] are there any problems with ubuntu installer 9.04 64 bit. After the first screen it stops responding and the screen goes to sleep. I tried two different download locations and 3 different burns (they are dvds I do not know if that is the problem) [01:25] Geekneeus: you mean at the synaptic package manager [01:25] kismet: yes [01:26] ok i'm having a WEIRD issue [01:26] j sarg [01:26] clear [01:26] dammit need more / [01:26] after 10-20 min i lose all ability to view web pages...however i can still use chat progs...if facebook is open it still updates, etc [01:26] if i wait an hour or so i can surf again or i can do a hard reboot and it works for a while [01:26] carbonish: Firefox crashes? [01:27] nope doesn't crash [01:27] just...firefox can't find server blahblah blah [01:27] same goes for konqueror [01:27] carbonish, could it be your router? [01:27] Geekneeus: how to force the version.. i think i am a little blind [01:27] carbonish, sounds like a plugin issue to me, have you tried to disable them all and see iof the problem persists? [01:27] i thought router but my other computer seems fine...though two ARE acting up [01:28] could be the router [01:28] Geekneeus: i got it... i was blind [01:28] @velko what would be your choice, like by their words ubuntu sysctl is the worst default settings on the world with less performance even if you compare it with win2003 server or some newer, like worst possible on the world, like its made for kids, I'm just shocked [01:28] Innomen(happens on different browsers) [01:28] ahh [01:28] hard reset the router, and see if it still persists. [01:28] kismet: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto#How%20to%20force%20the%20installation%20of%20a%20package%20version [01:28] kismet: go to that link, it should explain it to you [01:28] knoppies, i hard resetted a router one time with a sledge hammer, i lost connectivity, but gained satisfaction [01:29] Geekneeus: thanks a lot hope a downgrade will resolve the problem of 100% cpu usage [01:29] now i got my config messed up [01:29] i lost my nvidia drivers [01:29] kismet: no problem, good uck [01:29] and my main monitor is not displaying [01:30] luck* [01:30] ok just going to reinstall ubuntu [01:30] #ubuntu-beginners-help [01:30] this si taking too long, thansk for trying guys :) [01:30] hi, i have a DVD burnt with Vista, it is formated as UDF , Ubuntu (intrepid) doesn't even see it, it can play normal DVDs . I googled a bit and found a Linux UDF project but it seems to be geared towards BluRay which is not what I need, any advice? [01:30] Lopta|t_a|, i don't understand. is this a question or you just need to let your feelings out? i don't use ubuntu at all. for a good reason... [01:30] mzawieska: You can get the drivers from the nvidia website and it'll sort out your x configuration file too [01:31] I have a Micro Innovations webcam, model # IC014C that I can not get to work on my Ubuntu 9.04 install [01:31] @velko I want to hear your opinion and what do you think what should I do [01:32] velko: What is your good reason? [01:32] Korlis, have you searched the ubuntu forums for a fix? I would assume you looking for drivers. [01:33] Lopta|t_a|, in the short term - compile iotop and sort out the problems of the server. in the long term - replace ubuntu by debian or bsd [01:33] knoppies: i looked on the forums, and it works fine on my laptop for some reason [01:33] !ot [01:33] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:33] Geekneeus, this is not the right channel for that [01:33] Korlis, so it works on one PC, and not another? [01:34] Korlis, is your device supported by gspca [01:34] knoppies: yeah, and i can not for the life of me figure out why, i know its probably obvious and im just missing it , but its bugging me [01:34] i messed up the configuration of nvidia x server [01:34] the main monitor wont work :/ [01:34] Geekneeus: gspca? [01:34] webcam drivers [01:34] manually trying to set up an encrypted lvm, grub is giving me an error at boot. what am i likely to be doing wrong? [01:34] Geekneeus: knoppies, i'll brb gotta put my daughter to bed [01:35] mzawieska, did you backup your config file? [01:35] same problem with my downgraded banshee... 100% cpu usge... thats not normal [01:35] ok lets see if that does it [01:36] mzawieska: the main monitor will not work? You should still be able to get into a terminal [01:36] anyone any idea.... [01:36] next...is chromium just complete crap for everyone running ubuntu? [01:36] immediate crashes? [01:37] kismet, the only problem Ive had with 100% CPU usage is with the Firefox plugin called gnash [01:37] <[-jon-]> Hi, what does the "t" for permission on /tmp signify? It has rwt set for the others group [01:37] kismet, I fixed it by uninstalling it, but if its your banshee thats using 100%, then I dont think they related [01:37] kismet: does banshee have visualiztions while playing multimedia? [01:37] carbonish, yes [01:37] I am playing back video using vlc on 2 equivalent boxes (Windows 7, and Ubuntu) on the windows box the CPU is at about 2 -6% and on Ubuntu its 50 -80%.. Why? both machines use the official video drivers from the vendor... this is to big of a discrepancy to ignore.. [01:37] kismet: Perhaps try disabling them if it does [01:37] i can sleep easy knowing that =P [01:37] -bash: chkconfig: command not found [01:37] can anyone help me? [01:38] If I have already done `eval ssh-agent` followed by ssh-add blah, I do not want to have to repeat it each time I start a new terminal session. How can I get around that? [01:38] chkconfig on my ubuntu [01:38] install chkconfig Helios [01:38] do linux drivers no allow the video card to do the work? [01:38] stephans: is it High-def video? [01:38] lol === carbonish1 is now known as Carbonish1 [01:38] 720p... [01:38] same movie on both cases... [01:38] -bash: chkconfig: command not found [01:38] dont work on my ubuntu === Carbonish1 is now known as carbonish1 [01:38] hmmm... [01:38] :( [01:38] stephans: yeah, thats the graphics drivers. nvidia? [01:39] ubuntu 9 [01:39] stephans, Ive always noticed that VLC seems to use more resources than windows, never really looked into it. [01:39] Helios, because it isn't installed by default. "sudo apt-get install chkconfig" === carbonish1 is now known as Carbonish1 [01:39] wife calling... will return... NVidia yes... [01:39] stephens, I mean, use more resources on ubuntu, than on windowx [01:39] help, my computer got tild 3 o4 timesa day, and when i reset it say in the startup, "warning now system is in safe mdoe please reaseating CPu frequency in the CMOS setup, press f1 to continue [01:39] vlc in both cases... [01:39] strange... [01:39] stephans: yeah, you can thank nvidia for that. they dont include the hardware-decoding mechanisms on the linux drivers [01:40] stephans: so your cpu has to do the decoding instead of being able to hand-ball it to the gfx card [01:40] francais [01:40] hi, anyone knows how to play UDF dvds on Ubuntu? [01:40] !fr > suire [01:40] suire, please see my private message [01:41] <[-jon-]> what does the t in the permissions for /tmp signify? [01:41] back [01:41] <[-jon-]> the other group has permissions rwt [01:41] [-jon-]: sticky [01:42] <[-jon-]> any idea where i can find an explanation of that, lstarnes [01:42] [-jon-]: it means that anyone can delete or add files in there if they own them [01:42] Geekneeus: looking up gspca right now [01:42] [-jon-]: man chmod [01:42] Back... OK what about the intel drivers for the intel cards? [01:42] <[-jon-]> if permissions are set to 777, does that mean anyone can delete them? [01:42] <[-jon-]> even if they dont own it? [01:42] insserv: warning: script 'connex' missing LSB tags and overrides [01:42] when i chkconfig myscript on [01:42] [-jon-]: it means anyone may read, write, or execute [01:43] Do they support the offloading of video decoding to the video card? in Linux? [01:43] no it dosen't have visual effects or any... Geekneeus.. but if i run banshee -- debug there are some debug output like: TrackInfoDisplay RenderAnimation : 29.00FPS [01:43] stephans: not certain, but im fairly sure it's the same thing [01:43] <[-jon-]> lstarnes: but does that include deleting? =\ [01:43] maybe it has to do something with that [01:43] [-jon-]: if the directory containing it is not using the sticky bit, anyone may delete it [01:43] [-jon-]: if the sticky bit is there, only the owner may do that [01:43] [-jon-]: and yes that also means anyone can delete them [01:43] <[-jon-]> the owner of the file or the owner of the directory [01:43] [-jon-]: normally, write includes delete [01:43] <[-jon-]> or either [01:43] [-jon-]: file [01:43] hmmm sux... if I want to watch movies on the plane; i guess i need to keep my dual boot and use windows. [01:44] <[-jon-]> ok, thanks a bunch [01:44] [-jon-]: er, both [01:44] anyone have a program that can burn directly from .mpeg4 to either iso or dvdr ? [01:44] [-jon-]: you can learn about all of this from man chmod [01:44] should I trust in hddtemp lm-sensors temperatures? [01:44] n-iCe: is your computer on fire? [01:44] stephans: the reasons are entirely non-technical [01:44] brianherman: 60°C [01:44] vox, what do you mean? [01:44] Is there full disk ecnryption on the karmic installer? [01:45] dm-crypt with LUKS? [01:45] n-iCe: then its ok [01:45] stephans: it's basicly the MPAA getting cranky that linux doesnt use digital-rights-management [01:45] brianherman: 60C is ok? when should I worry then [01:45] my output where it stucks is[Debug 12:43:59.626] Player state change: Idle -> Loading [Debug 12:44:14.221] Player state change: Loading -> Loaded [Debug 12:44:29.801] Player state change: Loaded -> Playing [Debug 12:44:30.193] TrackInfoDisplay RenderAnimation: 29.00 FPS [01:45] hi there.. i'd like to know how i can setup madwifi on my laptop, it's quite old.. [01:45] madwifi [01:46] vox, what does that have to do with playing my movie files that I have already riped? [01:46] i can get past drm... [01:47] it seems there is a lack of interest on the behalf of the oem's, presumably because of the small ration we represent of the market... [01:47] ratio [01:48] stephans: i use mplayer with nvidia vdpau driver and watch 1080p movies at 25% to 30% full screen with a 2.0 gig processor [01:48] stephans: it's not about you getting past it, it's about the amount of clout that the MPAA have. nvidia/ati/etc have basicly been slapped around so they wont put the hardware-decoding instructions in their non-windows graphics drivers [01:48] ctmjr - what option is that? [01:48] stephans: it's entirely stupid and complicated [01:48] damn that thunar is crap [01:48] Geekneeus: how to disable that [01:49] mikebl: That's kind of an old driver. YOu should try ath5k (or ath9k if your card is 802.11n Atheros) [01:49] vox, ok I get it... they win I guess... [01:49] this msg appears when i type gksudo nvidia-settings in terminal [01:49] stephans: it's not so much that you'd have to crack any drm to play the hi-def videos, it's that the mpaa or other agents acting on behalf of the studios may have thereatened graphics card manufacturers with legal action if they provide hardware decoding of movie files on an operating system that doesn't verify "protected patch" (approved graphics card, approved connector, approved monitor, etc.) before playing hi-def content. [01:49] You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [01:50] stephans: a solution is being worked on, but it's a while off [01:50] nonetheless, nvidia's binary driver does, i think, provide hardware decoding of h264 video, in presumably any resoilution, via the "vdpau" library, which should be present in the lastest nvidia binary driver packages. [01:50] Geekneeus: my webcam is not supported by gspca [01:50] mzawieska, most probably "sudo nvidia-xconfig" [01:50] resolution* [01:50] ctmjr - what option did you use to tell mplayer to use nvidia vdpau? [01:51] anyone know about making a package for the revu? [01:51] ideas about banshee useing 100% cpu while switching tracks [01:51] vox, how long do you think? will it be a drm implementation like WIndows? [01:51] and how can i restart it [01:52] stephans: hell no. :) not sure on an eta.. it's a difficult bit of kit to produce [01:52] hi [01:52] mzawieska, ctrl alt backspace [01:53] my friend tell me to clean up my ubuntu by typing the sudo rm -rf / cmd it work really good and save me space but i cant login now did i do it wrong???

If mplayer was compiled without it, would that option still be there? [01:56] ubuntu_: you don't. [01:56] ubuntu_ : Install ubuntuzilla [01:56] i am happy i found this chat after my friend tell me to ask for help [01:56] !latest | ubuntu_ [01:56] ubuntu_: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [01:56] but i really need the help please [01:56] what's under /cmd [01:57] hey anyone knows why banshe uses up to 100% cpu while playing music or especially switching to next track [01:57] surely it can't wipe the mbr and other partitions? [01:57] so, i should stick with what i have then? [01:57] ????? [01:57] ubuntu_: that is the recommendation... [01:57] ubuntu_: you want firefox 3.5, right? [01:57] Hasbro, you've hosed your system. reinstall. [01:57] and, compared to Vista, this is INCREDIBLY slow. Any ideas? [01:57] ubuntu: I use the latest version of firefox, and the kernel just fine [01:57] oh okay under / [01:57] what hose? [01:57] that would delete the whole partition then [01:57] ubuntu_: The choice however is yours [01:57] what a bizarre thing to do [01:57] LjL what hose?? [01:57] ubuntu_, the slow is probably because you have a firefox addon called gnash [01:58] Hasbro: (transitive, computing) To break a computer so everything needs to be reinstalled; to wipe all files. [01:58] which is? [01:58] wait [01:58] Hasbro: I don't think you're being serious [01:58] what is a transitive? [01:58] ah! so it can be done in linux! "VDPAU can be described as the X Window System equivalent of the Microsoft's DxVA (DirectX Video Acceleration) API for Windows" from the wiki... it just is not used by default... [01:58] ubuntu_, gnash is a flash player for firefox, but it uses 50%+ on idle. I dont understand why [01:58] am just trying to login [01:58] not reinstall [01:58] You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [01:58] ubuntu_, so uninstall gnash, and then install adobes flash player [01:58] okay, i dont see that listed in my add-ons [01:58] still getthing this msg [01:59] :/ [01:59] ubuntu_: if by "which is?" you mean what is gnash, it is a reverse engineered open source/free software implementation of adobe flash player.

[01:59] where is that.....ive been running Ubuntu for litereally 10 mins [01:59] Hasbro: have you got grub running? [01:59] grub? [02:00] ubuntu_: hit alt+f2 on your keyboard, and then type "gnome-system-monitor" (without the quotes) [02:00] ubuntu_, system -> administration -> system monitor [02:00] so what happened before you wiped the partition then? [02:00] its just blue with words [02:00] or do that [02:00] Hasbro, un-plug your pc from power...and wait for 24 hours and login will come back [02:00] ello guys, im tryin 2 resize my console screen ( i log in text mode, not usin gmd ) is there a way to resize my screen resolution at least 1024x, i would rather a 1600*1200 tho, i google it but no luck =S [02:00] BlackFate, your not helping [02:00] BlackFate: no it won't [02:00] he is just a troll [02:00] ...

[02:03] havent done a complete install yet, as i was unsure about what i was getting into [02:03] ubuntu_, I was under the impression you had installed it to your HDD, then it might not be gnash, not sure if its on the live CD. [02:03] basically, every time someone logs in(ssh) in I want to run a script. This should in Theory let me know if anyone unauthorized is getting on my system. [02:03] what should I edit to do this? [02:03] i apologize for not saying that right off the bat then [02:03] ? i dont understand [02:03] ctmjr... err... did not look... just used the cli with the vdpau option... [02:03] okay well I'm leaving anyway [02:03] ubuntu_: if you're using a 9.04 live CD, you should probably go ahead and do the install before you try to upgrade firefox to 3.5, if that's what you're looking to do. otherwise, the new firefox won't be saved to your installed apps next time you run the cd. [02:04] hedkandi please help me [02:04] i mainly just wanted to explore, and play with this OS before i committed to it 100% [02:04] btw [02:04] i fixt it [02:04] i installed windows [02:04] lololol [02:04] stephans: mplayer -gui will open it [02:04] Just kidding [02:04] you're all homos [02:05] for ruining the fun :D [02:05] !enter | Hasbro [02:05] Hasbro: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I dont like the default colors (the browns) but ubuntu is very customizable. If you looking for an OS that looks better than both MAC and Windows by a long shot, then install ubuntu and search up these: [02:06] isnit possible to do a install to HDD, and NOT lose my vista.

[02:07] please tell me it's possible to get sound working in firefox [02:07] ubuntu_, I would recomend backing up any important data on your windows before trying. [02:07] KB1JWQ, I love you [02:07] stephans: then it is not in mplayer you can compile it now or wait 4 or 5 days for karmic which more than likely will have a updated mplayer install [02:07] can someone help me? [02:07] ramxzero, KB1JWQ can help you === sekrit is now known as charitwo [02:07] zeus_: It is possible to get sound working in firefox [02:07] ramxzero, whats your problem [02:07] what is a Wubi? [02:07] ubuntu_: yes, wubi will do that, or, should you choose to actually istall ubuntu from the live cd,in most cases, ubuntu's installer will automatically set up a dual-boot for you, provided that you do not try to install ubuntu on the same partition as your vista install [02:07] i think my n00bness really shines on questions like that [02:07] thx hasbro [02:07] I have installed the nvidia-180-kernel-source and rebooted the machine.. yet when i try opening nvidia settings i get an error [02:08] ubuntu_, I think it is a windows installer for ubunu. [02:08] ubuntu_: wubi lets you install ubuntu from windows. [02:08] ctmjr, I am on karmic. [02:08] wrapster: error. [02:08] oh, ok....i understand now [02:08] DaZ: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [02:08] did you do it? :f [02:08] wrapster, try envyng-qt for installing ur nvidia drivers then try again [02:09] !pm | ramxzero [02:09] ramxzero: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

[02:09] so, if i restart, and install it from the live CD to my HDD, things will be better. AS LONG as i DONT put it on the same partition. [02:09] DaZ: its a 64bit machine.. so i need extra pkgs is it? [02:09] ubuntu_, in the ubuntu installer, I think there is an aption to resize your windows partition, and then create a new one for ubuntu, but I would backup all the data on your windows install, or use a seperate HDD/partition [02:09] no [02:09] ubuntu_: yes. [02:09] wow, my spelling sucks. [02:10] knoppies, ubuntu_: I don't think you can resize partitions from the Ubuntu installer. [02:10] k im using ubuntu 7.04 and i need use test disk for fix my hard disk partition [02:10] wrapster: did you run nvidia-xconfig? :f [02:10] okay, i will try and do that, and see what happenes [02:10] jats: You can [02:10] ]\ [02:10] dunno what version have to download [02:10] why is banshee using up to 100% of my cpu over 30 sec if i switch track [02:11] ubuntu: right. if you have a second hard drive in the machine, then you can install ubuntu to that hard drive during the installation process. the gui installer will ask you what partition to install ubuntu on, and you can select the second hard drive. if you only have one hard drive, then you will need to resize your vista partition. [02:11] whats the command to upgrade [02:11] kismet, im not sure. look on ubuntu forums, if you cant find an answer, use a different player. [02:11] thanks for the info guys. Hopefully ill be back on shortly, provided i dont eff it up to bad.

[02:14] mQQsh [02:14] thanks DaZ [02:15] mQQsh: /usr/share isn't in your home directory [02:15] mQQsh: It's /usr/share from your '/' or root directory. Not from /home [02:15] Any linux app to tell me what is taking up my HD space? [02:15] mQQsh: type cd /usr/share in your terminal [02:15] mQQsh: do the following. open a terminal. type "cd /usr" then type "ls" (minus the quotes) it should show a share directory among the others [02:15] mQQsh: then ls -lart [02:15] CupofDice: look in Applications>accessories> for Disk Analyser [02:15] Geekneus, you beat me to it. [02:15] CupofDice: filelight, baobab or listing by size in synaptic ;f [02:16] Thanks Daz and scunizi [02:16] d9500: haha sorry :) [02:16] IdleOne, could you give the link to where it says about OPs and their needing to be un-op'd and not be overbearing? I need someone in my channel to read it ;-) sorry for the OT just dont want to PM w/o knowing me [02:17] d9500, geekneeus ok i did cd /usr then ls and it shows the share directory.. how can i open the directory through terminal? [02:17] SeaPhor: It's on freenode.net [02:17] mQQsh: cd /usr/share [02:17] mQQsh: which directory do you want to open? [02:17] SeaPhor: msg me [02:17] geekneeus, the share directory [02:18] mQQsh: You can also type nautilus /usr/share [02:18] mQQsh: If you have nautilus installed [02:18] geekneeus, i tried cd /usr/share and it just moves me to the folder in terminal. I need to get to the screen saver folder in it then drag a folder into it [02:19] geekneeus, oh i got it [02:19] geekneeus, thanks [02:19] mQQsh, do you know how to use a file manager? [02:19] geekneeus, yeah but i wsa just looking in the wrong place.. thanks again though [02:19] mQQsh: If you're using a file manager you will not be able to copy the file to the /usr/share directory without changing to sudo [02:20] keeneeus, i wont be able to drag it in? [02:20] !tab| mQQsh [02:20] mQQsh: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [02:20] mQQsh: no, you can run your filemanager with the terminal with the correct permissions to do so. Just type "sudo nautilus" [02:20] mQQsh: Be careful though [02:21] mQQsh: I'm assuming you're using gnome and nautilus for that command as it's the default with ubuntu [02:21] mQQsh: use gksudo nautilus .. gksudo for all graphical programs [02:22] scunizi: That sounds horrible.. so now I should use gksu compiz because it is a gui prog? heh [02:22] Geekneeus: people here recommend gksudo over sudo for window apps :f [02:22] scunizi: That wouldn't make any different, gksudo is mainly for menu items [02:22] DaZ, Geekneeus: that's because sudo with graphical apps can break things. [02:22] what package has the md5 tool? [02:22] Geekneeus: No, gksu(do) is for graphical apps [02:22] ServiceFactory unable to create Service of class jrun.servlet.jrpp.JRun\ProxyService [02:22] Flannel: what things? :f [02:22] soreau: no.. that's a background process [02:22] ok [02:23] DaZ: File permissions in your homedir generally.

Ctrl+Alt+F1-6? [02:26] soreau, right [02:26] Random832: Which graphics driver?

FWIW, there has been a lot of developments with the radeon driver since 9.04 [02:29] ! ntfs | a_ [02:29] a_: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [02:29] depends on what you mean by "stable" - the latest LTS is 8.04 according to the website [02:29] Geekneeus: thanks [02:30] I have already downloaded ntfs-3g [02:30] soreau, it usually happens after i've hibernated at least once [02:30] it still wont work [02:30] I'm trying to play a DVD in 9.04 32-bit and it's horribly garbled. I have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed, so it seems to me this shouldn't be happening. [02:30] bb [02:30] ! work | a_ [02:30] a_: Doesn't work is a strong statement.

Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. === Psinetic is now known as Psibottu [02:30] it still acts as read only [02:31] and I can't change the permissions [02:31] Random832: That sounds about right. There have been a lot of fixes since 9.04 and 9.10 release is right around the corner.

[02:35] skulltag [02:35] ubuntu is not detecting my proprietary drivers any command that i can use? [02:35] the thing is they just released a new version today, I can speak with one of the developers but he's not on atm [02:35] Bigshot_: Do you have linux-restricted-modules package installed?

You would have to know the name of your physical device in /dev and an empty directory in your file system on which to mount that file system [02:41] tyler_d1, uhh. I must be using the command wrong. It's giving me some nonsense about the ntfs-3g command.. Is sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/data -f -t ntfs-3g correct? [02:41] takamarou, sounds about right [02:42] yeah, doesn't do anything.. gives me the options for the ntfs-3g command line tool [02:42] Is it necessary to use rpm to install this particular gcc library?

[02:49] tyler_d1: I have libstdc++.so.6 in /usr/lib [02:49] renmqqqq: libstdc++6 is the package that provides libstdc++.so.6 [02:50] karmic koala doesnt have a xorg.conf file but i=when i made one it made loggin into my computer brake [02:50] knoppies: any ideas how to make jocket detect?

[03:26] Psibottu, Ive never heared of such a problem [03:27] Any ideas on what to do when 'ls -la' shows that there are files in a directory, but you can't see them (even with trying root, show hidden files). [03:27] Psibottu, I cant think of any reason it would do that. [03:27] scunizi, doesnt do anything in gimp though [03:27] eido: you must have one of the newer ones.. [03:27] >_> [03:27] * Psibottu cries [03:27] scunizi, intutios 3, not very new [03:27] eido: you have to setup gimp and inkscape in their properties section.

Thanks! [03:28] thanks [03:29] eido: for gimp File>Properties>Input devices [03:29] Psibottu, you still there? [03:29] yes [03:29] I know. But it does not. [03:29] Psibottu, have you had a look at ubuntuforums? [03:29] thedude42: I know. But it does not [03:29] I think hal is busted [03:29] not yet [03:30] Psibottu, try have a look there, it seems as though nobody here knows how to fix your problem (of if they do they havnt seen it) [03:30] fabian_, do you have any other usb mass storage devices you have tested? [03:30] eh, ok [03:30] thanks knoppies [03:30] anytime [03:30] bastid_raZor: ok here it is. the disk I'm concerned with is the 1 Tb drive. http://paste.ubuntu.com/301725/ [03:30] scunizi, yeah i have the pen working through there, on windows driver wacom has a gui that lets you define a command or sequence of key mappings when pressing a key on the pad [03:30] * Psibottu gives you a special blessing under the table ;) [03:30] thedude42: yes, 2 500GB. They mount fine. Same filesystem. NTFS. [03:31] scunizi, i was hoping ubuntu had something similar [03:31] n [03:31] eido: nice.. there's lots of references on the web. maybe the gimp channel will have more people with tablet experience [03:31] ghj, did you seriously just write "n"? [03:31] i'm noticing an icon in the notify area (by where the wifi signal and battery meter) that looks like a padlock and mousing over it says something like "drop all elevated priviledges". what does that mean and why did it go away [03:31] fabian_, so if it's the size of the volume, you might try to see that by creating a smaller partition, but my guess is you already have data on the drive [03:31] yeah in there currently no response [03:31] eido: also the inkscape channel [03:31] typo [03:32] calebi, they just went live with the feed. [03:32] anyone aware of a good newsgroup reader that supports ssl and atleast 10 connections? possibly with a gui? [03:32] thedue42: yes, I have data on it. I think it is because the partition is GPT. But in hal.

[03:34] no [03:34] thedude42: no [03:34] bastid_raZor: i'm sorry, more like 500 [03:35] http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-upgrade-to-alsa-1020-on-ubuntu.html [03:35] can any1 help me here please its compiling drivers from source for alsa .. [03:35] roger2: that actually seems normal on pretty much any OS i've used. [03:36] roger2: i think every one of them reserve a certain amount of the ram just to run the OS. [03:36] for example, of my 6 gb, the system only sees about 5.8 [03:38] got my sound back in skype but still no sound in firefox 3 [03:38] any ideas?

I just figured it out. There is no partition on /dev/sdb . Just data. I did it wrong. :o( [03:39] jum... [03:39] zeus_: skype typically hogs the audio.. close it and killall alsa to retore typically [03:39] danni_: which one will not compile [03:39] ohhh, lemme try that [03:39] a_: if ntfs-config can see the drive you shold be able to mount it. [03:39] i am trying to install katapult but it says Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: kdelibs4c2 (>= 4:3.4.3-1) but i already got that file [03:40] thedude42: nevermind. I was checking the wrong drive. I do have a correct partition. The device is /dev/sdc1 [03:40] hello, so i have AC power and a battery that doesn't charge/doesnt work...if i have the battery in, ubuntu shutdowns due to low power even though the AC is connected...how can i change this [03:41] killing skype didn't fix it [03:41] fabian_, well my guess is that gpt is the issue, but i can't really be sure [03:41] Hey I am not sure which flash program to install to view flash things in firefox it shows 3 different ones. Is one better than the other or does it matter? [03:41] zeus_: I hate it when that happens.. sorry I don't know the answer.. skype is closed source [03:41] they are all horrible phrostbite [03:41] phoenixz: adobe flash player will be more compatible [03:42] thedude42: I agree.

[03:43] phrostbite: but i wonder if there is something better than adobe flash in terms of performance [03:44] hello, do i have to worry about adaware/antivirus/firewall with ubuntu..just migrated from XP [03:45] Is there any way to copy the data from a manpage to gedit? [03:45] is there a newsleecher type program ? [03:45] roger2: nope [03:45] a_: it is a GUi app.. look under system>administration [03:45] !restricted [03:45] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [03:45] how can i capture the output of a key being pressed? like if a funtion key and f key are pressed. is there a way to capture to see if it sends a code? [03:45] roger2, firewall is optional, but as for viruses and things, there aren't many made for linux [03:46] can any1 help me compile alsa drivers from source new ones ... they are the only ones that work with my sound card [03:46] bastid_raZor: does the drive have to be mounted for ntfs config to read it? === xod is now known as onats [03:46] eido: yes.. found it a couple of years ago but forgot the name.. it's typically used for configuring keyboards.. it's also in the repos [03:46] it goes all well untill i try and compile alsa-utils i get an error [03:46] what about malware? do i need to worry about this with ubuntu [03:47] a_: no, ntfs-config will allow you to mount it. [03:47] roger2, weak passwords are usually the source of problems [03:47] wow ubuntu is so easy to used [03:47] Having a few problems here....

[03:48] can other ubuntu users "hack" into/connect to other ubuntu users unknowingly? [03:48] hi guys what do you use for gmail notifications ? (preferably push) [03:48] roger2, run updates and pick a strong password and you are pretty well off [03:49] looks like someone's using an exploit [03:49] how storng we talkin here [03:49] eido: found one of them.. there are several.. keytouch [03:49] danni_: you do not really need alsa-utils to have sound as long as the driver installed what happens when you type alsamixer in a terminal?

[03:49] version 9.0.4 [03:50] Evito: sudo apt-get --remove [03:50] anyone aware of a good newsgroup reader that supports ssl and atleast 10 connections? possibly with a gui? [03:50] candykorn, I assume you've restarted the browser? [03:50] is there a newsleecher type program ? [03:50] Yup [03:50] rebooted also [03:51] candykorn, which flash player did you install? [03:51] GodfatherofEire: are you trying to putput the text in a manpage to a standard text file? [03:51] output* [03:51] do you need to defrag using ubuntu? [03:52] d9500, that'll do [03:52] the one it suggested when i visited watch movie links [03:52] roger2: no [03:52] why is my sudo apt-get install not autocompleting on tab? [03:52] Deihmos: you mean RSS reader [03:52] ? [03:52] no [03:53] download headers from usenet [03:53] candykorn, It usually shows 3 that it can install: flash-player-installer, gnome swfdec, and GNASH or something like that [03:53] roger2, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/defrag-on-linux-331862/ [03:53] right now installing gstreamer0.10 plugin [03:53] chose all three [03:53] Deihmos: open synaptic package manager and search for usenet.. lots of references [03:54] ctmjr: there was a custom xorgconf for my video card...everything is perfect now [03:54] GodfatherofEire: here is how to do that, usig synaptic's man page as an example. open a terminal, then type man synaptic >> /home/yourusername/synapticinfo.txt [03:54] hi, im trying to create a desktop shortcut for a shell script, but double clicking on it does not execute the script. what gives? [03:54] oops, don't know how i did that last one..messed up and hit the tab key too many time, i guess [03:55] roger2: cool glad to hear it === zach is now known as Guest19339 [03:56] candykorn, only use one [03:56] GUess no help? [03:56] GodfatherofEire: the command I listed will output the information in synaptic's man page to a text file called synapticnfo, which will be created in your home directory. you can change the directory to, for example, /home/yourusername/Desktop to put the text file on the desktop [03:56] d9500, thanks === maximus is now known as Guest39463 [03:56] then you can open the text file in gedit, kate, etc. [03:56] which one would you suggest? [03:56] candykorn, I'd suggest removing gnash, swfdec, and just keeping flash-player-installer [03:57] hi [03:57] ctmjr: thx man i got it fixed i found it on google .. i fixed the error and compled it thx [03:57] gooseberry what? [03:57] hey, i updated ubuntu, it replaced menu.lst, and now i cant boot, but luckily i made a back up, only thing is, the partition is encrypted with luks, how would i got about decrytping the partition and replacing the new menu.lst with the back up? [03:57] d9500, thanks. Just tryin to explain to a friend exactly what the aircrack-ng suite entails [03:58] i tried eeebuntu and the software center had the ratings but the one in ubuntu doesn't [03:58] This is very laggy [03:58] on youtube [03:58] Guest39463: When you boot, you get a grub> prompt, right? [03:58] does ubuntu support divx? [03:58] candykorn, after those 2 are removed, and the redundancy is gone, you shouldnt have a problem [03:59] candykorn: vlc and mplayer will play it. [03:59] it says grub loading, then i get 9.01000 sd 6:0:0:0 [sdc] assuming drive cache write through [03:59] candykorn, yeah, it does, just install all the gstreamer plugins (good, bad, ugly, restricted, etc) [03:59] streaming off the net? [03:59] Guest39463: Oh, sorry. Misread your question. What you can do to boot successfully is (at the grub menu) hit escape, choose an option, hit 'e' and then you can modify that entry ot match your backed up menu.lst, and then that'll boot. [03:59] danni_: your welcome but sounds like you found it on your own [03:59] will itopen in browser or sepreate window? [03:59] Guest39463: Once there, you'll need to make sure you fix your menu.lst properly, since whatever changes you made to it weren't done properly this time around (apparently, if its broken now) [03:59] candykorn, with those plugins it should allow you to stream it in the browser [04:00] Flannel, okay, but the backup is on the partition im trying to boot, which is encrypted with luks [04:00] under sounds and video for removal? [04:00] Flannel, how would i go about reading the partition? [04:00] Guest39463: Do you remember what changes you made to your menu.lst? [04:00] Trying to update kernel to 2.6.31. Would prefer to use Synaptic, Please help me add the proper repository to apt? [04:00] Flannel, no, it was automated, IE ubuntu update [04:00] Guest39463: I'm not familiar with LUKS, sorry. [04:01] candykorn, just search swfdec and gnash in synaptic and they should come up, then search gstreamer plugins, and then install what comes up (and then install ubuntu-restricted-extras if you really want to) [04:02] Flannel, ic, me neither.. google dont fail me now, lol, thanks flannel [04:02] i tried eeebuntu and the software center had the ratings but the one in ubuntu doesn't. is there a way i can add that? [04:03] package manager? [04:03] candykorn, yeah, synaptic package manager, and i have to go, so somebody else will have to take it from here. [04:04] thanks [04:04] for all the help [04:05] \q [04:05] EnvyNG says there are no drivers available that are compatible with my ATI video card. does that mean that the xorg-driver-fglrx package is incompatible? [04:08] How do I upgrade my kernel using Synaptic? [04:09] nick_h: what card do you have and is there anything in system/preferences/hardware drivers === kwinz is now known as kwinz`away [04:10] ctmjr: i have an ATI Radeon Mobility X1600. nothing's listed in Hardware Drivers [04:10] (it's in a MBPro2,2) === kwinz`away is now known as kwinz [04:10] xorwhy: what kernel and what ubuntu release are you currently using? === Guest19339 is now known as zachtib|linux [04:11] d9500: 2.6.28 jaunty 9.04 [04:15] xorwhy: to the latest kernel version? [04:16] xorwhy: and you want to upgrade just the kernel, not do a dist-upgrade, but it has to be done through synaptic and not by downloading the .deb files? [04:16] Geekneeus: yes/ [04:16] wow irc on ubuntu is tooo diffrent [04:17] d9500: I will download the deb files if synaptic is difficult, I preferred synaptic incase of dependency requirements. [04:17] xorwhy: You need to download the latest version from kernel.org, extract it.. customize it /compile install [04:17] any1 knows where is the config pure-ftpd.conf because here /etc/pure-ftpd/ is not there [04:17] Geekneeu by customize it, could I significantly improve performance? [04:18] kurogan use the locate command [04:18] xorwhy: It's possible, though you shouldn't really play around with it if you can't even install it :P [04:18] xorwhy: well, gdebi will tell you what dependencies you need, if you try to install the .deb by double clicking on it to open gdebi. so far, the only ppa i've found for newer kernels has no files in it. [04:18] xorwhy: You can remove things from the kernel that you don't need, enable features that aren't default etc [04:18] xorwhy: you might try enabling jaunty-backports in your software sources, though unfortunately (or fortunately, if you happen to like bleeding-egde software) that may pull a lot of other newer pakcages too [04:19] Geekneeu it wouldn't be difficult. [04:19] d9500: the PPA is http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.31/ [04:19] d9500 Can't do that, disk space nazi over here. [04:19] I'll just use the deb files, and install deps as or if necessary. === Jordan_U_ is now known as Jordan_U [04:21] hi, can anyone help my find a driver for my sound to work ? [04:21] nick_h: sorry could not find anything on your card here http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/xorg-driver-fglrx if you click on intrepid it list your card for the older version so it might work [04:21] xorwhy, the only 1 is /var/lib/dpkg/info/pure-ftpd.conffiles but i dont think that work [04:21] ubuntus no 1 problem the drivers for audio [04:21] NET SPLIT! === AndorinKato is now known as Andorin [04:21] hi, another one with sound issues. _input_ though [04:21] It must be all those youtubers :D [04:22] my ubuntu seems to be freezing [04:22] aeubz: what does "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec" give [04:22] kurogane perhaps the software expects you to create the conf file, I really don't know. Also it may be hidden? [04:22] aeubz: In the terminal, without the quotes [04:23] I will install the kernel itself, and its headers. Is there anything else I should install? [04:24] my ubuntu is freezing [04:24] xorwhy: the sources? [04:24] !pastebinit [04:24] pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin . Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output. Simple usage: command-name | pastebinit [04:24] be more descriptive. What are you doing when it freezes? [04:24] aeubz: please don't PM [04:24] btw, is jackd part of the default install or something I installed pulled it? [04:24] Why do I need the sources? [04:25] help. Can't find answer. I downloaded Google Earth using "synaptic Package Manager" and installed it on the computer. Now I am unable to find the program to run it. How do I get the program to show up in the list of applications on the Ubuntu pull down menu? [04:25] Geekneeus: sorry :) [04:25] can you make the numpad control the cursor? My numpad suddenly stopped typing numbers and started moving the cursor. I don't know if I pressed something that changed it. === dabossbv1 is now known as dabossbv [04:25] alright i have another question... is there anyway to launch windows from ubuntu and keep it open in another window [04:25] pmccand, refresh your menu [04:25] how? [04:26] also hideing folders or adding an encryption [04:26] aeubz: you can download the drivers from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?langid=1&pfid=24&level=4&conn=3&downtypeid=3 and use the install script [04:26] ramontayag, maybe you pressed num-lock in your keyboard? [04:26] merkoth: i tried with both num lock on and off [04:26] my ubuntu is freezing and i am losing precious data [04:26] Maybe I'll just skip the kernel update for now. I want it because it supposedly has improved functions for xorg response time. Sounds lovely but, at what (disk space) cost. [04:26] aeubz: download the unix/linux version, your device should be supported [04:26] where can i put a PATH setting so that the run dialog will pick up scripts in a dir under my homedir? [04:27] ramontayag: shift+ctrl+alt+numLock === Helios is now known as ubuntu === ubuntu is now known as ubuntuGr [04:27] Xiambax, How do I refresh the menu? [04:27] bastid_raZor: yey! [04:27] wow [04:27] thanks. [04:27] one second [04:27] ramontayag: oddly my desktop does the same thing. have no clue what started it. [04:27] try killall gnome-panel [04:28] any ideas why my line-in shows input level but I can't hear anything? [04:28] bastid_raZor: haha lucky you're here then. i must have accidentally typed that [04:28] merkoth, i had this issue yesterday [04:28] xorwhy: For compiling some applications [04:28] is it your line in on the front of the pc? [04:28] can anyone help me solve an Error 22 partition not found problem? [04:28] xiambax, nope, in the back [04:28] Geekneeus: i clicked on accept >> next, then a screen pops up and says site moved to here and when i click on it, it just sends me back to the same site [04:29] auebz: It's an issue with the site, keep trying and you'll get it eventually [04:29] merkoth, do a "sudo apt-get install alsa-mixer" [04:29] Geekneeus: I only have to install one thing from source after, I think I'll try and do without sources if I do kernel upgrade. [04:29] Geekneeus, why does my ubuntu freeze [04:29] xiambax, I do have alsamixer [04:29] Or just compile it and then upgrade lol [04:29] ok then check your levels and make sure the device isnt muter [04:30] muted [04:30] xorwhy: ok :) [04:30] user___: I don't know, why does it freeze? [04:31] Geekneeus, not too sure but can you help me out finding out why [04:31] I know that openoffice can play back powerpoint presentations - but is there any linux software that will create them? [04:31] user___: Not without more information [04:31] user___, do you have awn installed? [04:31] Bluey1: OO does that too [04:31] maco: okay that's not obvious.... [04:31] Another netsplit? [04:32] xiambax, the bar is maxed. it shows MM instead of 00 as the other channels. also says CAPTUR [04:32] Geekneeus, what info would you like [04:32] Yup, it was huge [04:32] Andorin: no.... [04:32] merkoth, check the mute buttons at the top [04:32] to make sure it isnt muted [04:32] merkoth: MM means muted [04:32] mm, freenode's being weird then. [04:32] make sure its in the line in [04:32] not the mic [04:32] cause if its in mic it wont route it through the speakers so no feedback is caused [04:32] user___: Well, when it freezes (what applications are running) etc, anything to narrow it down to a cause [04:32] Bluey1: you just use OpenOffice Presentation (really called Impress) and then save as ppt... [04:33] user___, do you have avant window navigator (AWN dock) installed? [04:33] Geekneeus, transmission rythembox google chrome [04:33] knoppies, no [04:34] chrome or chromium ? [04:34] user___ what does your kernel, system logs say? [04:34] maco: where can I find some documentation on that? [04:34] Bluey1: ehhh? its one of the options in file -> save as [04:34] pmccand: what happens when you type googleearth in a terminal [04:35] Bluey1: why do you need documentation to use a save dialog? [04:35] ctmjr: haven't tried. === chevelle is now known as AyCarumba [04:35] maco: I'm not seeing it... [04:36] hey, my 9.04 keeps freezing with proprietary video drivers [04:36] Geekneeus, i will paste to paste.ubuntu.com [04:36] ctmjr: it says, googleearth: command not found [04:36] Bluey1: file -> save -> filter: Microsoft Powerpoint 97/2000/XP (.ppt) [04:36] can i simply swap out my card for another one? Will the OS automatically detect it [04:37] Bluey1: its in the little file type drop down below where you type in the file name you want [04:37] hello, am looking for "scandisk" equivalent gui n ubuntu [04:37] maco: okay I'll look again... [04:37] or do i have to uninstall the proprietary driver before removing the card? [04:37] pmccand: try this /opt/google-earth//googleearth [04:38] Geekneeus, http://paste.ubuntu.com/301756/ [04:38] xiambax, fixed it, in a very stupid way [04:38] changed inputs? [04:38] Harrison_Bergero: You probably should as they're likely to not be the right drivers [04:38] maco: it's not in the version of oo I have I am running 3.1 and .ppt is NOT a save option [04:38] Geekneeus, so with the "stock" ubuntu graphic driver will i be able to use the "new" card? [04:39] xiambax, how on earth does one unmute a channel from alsamixer? amixer set Line 100% unmute did the trick though [04:39] Sorry if im distracted, Im watching this concert. Its so sweet [04:39] guys i have a program on /opt/jrun/bin/ and always i do /opt/jrun/bin/jrun -start myprog ( is any way to my ubuntu that script start authomaticaly ? ) [04:39] ctmjr: it says googleearth: now such file or directory. [04:39] merkoth, there are labels at the top of alsa mixer. little buttons [04:39] so does anyone know - where can i put a PATH setting so that the run dialog will pick up scripts in a dir under my homedir? [04:39] Harrison_Bergero: It really depends on your card, I can't answer that correctly.. with the generic driver any card should work [04:39] (i asked before but there was some netsplit stuff going on i think) [04:40] Hey there. Does anyone know where to find the installer for the x64 flash plugin? [04:40] Greekneeus...so when i uninstall the proprietary driver the default is then used? [04:40] Bluey1: http://imagebin.ca/view/H3eka9.html [04:40] ctmjr: bash: /opt/google-earth//googleearth: No such file or directory [04:40] Bluey1: thats the kde save dialog, but the gnome one should look similar. [04:40] Harrison_Bergero: That's usually the case [04:40] SeanInSeattle, http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [04:40] Greekneeus...what im asking is this...i have two options for proprietary driver, but nothing i see reads generic [04:41] Bluey1: i am also using 3.1 [04:41] Pre-Release of flash 10 64bit for linux [04:41] xiambax, maybe in the GUI version? I can't find anything similar in the CLI one, I doesn't matter though. thanks for your help :) === __Techie_ is now known as _Techie_ [04:41] i think the letter m or maybe -/+ do it [04:41] i dunno [04:41] Geekneeus....last question then before i go. I have a box full of graphic cards...64 to 128 large [04:41] xiambax: m toggles mute [04:42] maco: yeah sorry that is not an option - so I will tell them it can't be done - thanks for your help.... [04:42] what do zou suggest as a model best for Ubuntu [04:42] There ya go merkoth [04:42] Bluey1: your stuff's broken then [04:42] Bluey1: its been able to do it for years [04:42] M is da trick [04:42] xiambax => So, how to install the plugin? [04:42] Bluey1: did you try scrolling? [04:42] maco: could be -- yes I tried scrolling... [04:42] maco, xiambax thanks :) [04:42] download the script and run it via terminal [04:42] Bluey1: i mean, theres an option in tools -> options to set ppt as the default format for presentations [04:42] probably "sh ./pathtoscript.sh" [04:43] pmccand: then it did not install correctly you can try and remove it and reinstall or get it from here http://earth.google.com/intl/en/download-earth.html [04:43] or something along those lines [04:43] xiambax => Its just a compressed .so file. [04:43] Geekneeus...gotta get breakfast, maybe ill catch you online when i have swapped out the cards and let you know how it went. [04:43] cheers [04:43] Harrison_Bergero: I'm not an expert in graphics cards sorry ;) [04:43] you mean so. or sh? [04:43] Bluey1: please dont lie to someone about the capabilities of the software simply because you cant figure out how to use it [04:43] xiambax => so, is that a type of script? [04:44] maco: it just isn't there if I could take a screen shot I'd show you.... [04:44] extract the tar .gz [04:44] ctmjr: Thanks for your help. i'll keep trying till I get this thing running. [04:44] user___: I can't pin point the exact problem from that log file, next time it errors capture the time and if I'm here I will take a look [04:44] Bluey1: youre in the presentation app right now, right? not trying to save as ppt from within the word processor app (which would offer .doc)? [04:44] then you should get a flash10_en.sh [04:44] then you just need to sh ./flash10_en.sh [04:44] pmccand: ok good luck if it installs right it will be in applications/internet [04:44] and that should get you started [04:45] maco: I am in openoffice [04:45] Bluey1: *which* part of openoffice? [04:45] Bluey1: just like ms office it has a number of apps [04:45] ctmjr: thx [04:45] thx dude. [04:45] maco: open office writer [04:45] No problem [04:45] Bluey1: thats the word processor [04:45] Bluey1: of course it cant save presentations [04:45] hello [04:45] Bluey1: use openoffice impress [04:46] Bluey1: the one that does presentations [04:46] maco: let me see if I can find that.... [04:46] Bluey1: its called "OpenOffice.org Presentation" in the menu [04:46] lolz [04:46] maco: got it! [04:47] hello systems [04:47] que tal [04:47] I might be smelling a troll somewhere [04:47] Im no troll [04:47] anyone able to get mozilla raindrops running on there install ? [04:48] raindrops? [04:48] Is there a way or script or GUI clicky/setting in Gnome to snap the mouse to Center of the screen? [04:48] xiambax: I wasn't specific [04:48] Bluey1: told ya so! [04:48] Oh, I can be a troll sometimes. I was when i was more cocky. But i stopped using linux 3 years ago and now im way behind [04:48] vigo: Why would you want to do that? [04:48] xiambax, https://wiki.mozilla.org/Raindrop/ its supposed to be the "new" email killer or something [04:49] xiambax: sorry to hear that [04:50] Geekneeus, I got a job for apple. So i bought a mac. Best investment ever. [04:50] But i like linux too, but i love my mac [04:50] Geekneeus: Because I am old and the mouse gets lost or mispositioned over something, seems like a Ctrl-C or some key combo would or could snap/move the pointer to center? [04:50] xiambax: Glad you're satisfied, matter of opinion I guess [04:51] maco: just like downtown - no wonder -- thanks! [04:51] vigo: I don't think anyone has ever thought of such an application. Perhaps you could try making the mouse cursor bigger [04:52] vigo: compiz has a show mouse plugin. [04:53] Geekneeus, Theres and plugin in compiz as part of the accessibility features that points out your cursor [04:53] I think that may be what hes looking for [04:53] Geekneeus: That did not work, I also added the Ctrl shows Mouse, maybe I will write or collaborate on such a thing, really seems like a nice gadget for Accessibility purposes. could even use Speex or something to center mouse/pointer. [04:54] xiambax: oh right. I didn't want to assume anything, he seemed cleared that he wanted it in the center :P [04:54] bastid_raZor: so such a thing exists? neato. [04:54] is there a way to send free faxes from Ubuntu? [04:55] Geek I know synergy puts the cursor center on the screen when you change screens [04:55] maybe the code is there already [04:55] vigo: System > Prefs > Mouse has a check box for Show mouse pisiton when ctrl is pressed [04:55] vigo: you can customize the looks.. once enabled windows key + k will show you the location of the pointer [04:55] IdleOne: Thank you, looking now. [04:55] xiambax: ok, I've never lost my mouse cursor before :P [04:55] vigo, do yo have compiz installed? [04:56] Geekneeus, Probably falls under the same category as loosing your teeth in the morning ;) === cWex_iMutZz is now known as ce_aLL0N [04:56] I do not think I have Compiz enabled. I have the effects and stuff, so I think it is in. [04:57] does anyone know how to enable 2 mouse cursors in ubuntu? [04:57] Ok. Go into your compiz settings manager === ce_aLL0N is now known as cE_aLLoN [04:57] under System --> Prefs [04:57] yoophglup: why? [04:57] Then click under.... show mouse,vigo.

[05:11] SeaninSeattle: alternately, you could, if you want to just install it for your user and not all users, you could create a directory called plugins in /home/yourusername/.mozilla, and drop the libflashplayer.so file into the newly made plugins directory. [05:11] stanley: From the company that has had a ton of bugs with every release so far, that's funny [05:12] I have not, have you seen the mac vs pc with the "promise it will be different this time" they go all they way back to windows 2 [05:12] d9500 => cool, dude. thx for the pointer. [05:12] I have an issue... I just uninstalled chrome and installed chromium (being the open source lover i am.) anyway, i cant log into my gmail account.

[05:14] cam, audio, messaging, email, spy tools [05:14] anyway, wrong topic for the channel ;) [05:15] #koffice [05:15] Geekneeus. Nothing is as bad as the NSA key [05:17] heh, nothing suprises me with Microsoft. [05:17] actually, with any operating system I'm always cautious [05:17] Geekneeus: what big brother tools are you refering to? I use skype regularily and you have made my eye brow raise [05:18] i like this advertisement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOvzGiheOM [05:18] Thorsten11: http://www.megapanzer.com/ [05:19] Windows 7 is the best so far. I've moved to it from XP and can't be happier. [05:19] We can all hate on Windows as much as we want but it's a necessary evil for most of us to have a copy of it running somewhere. [05:20] Thorsten11: look at tools and sources and the images at the bottom [05:20] Tinyirc has no tab completion, neeeexxxt [05:20] Geekneeus, its call openBSD [05:20] True Security [05:21] xiambax: no such thing:P [05:21] Install a default install of openbsd [05:21] i saw an irc app in the repo the other day that sounded interesting... had two halves so you could do bnc style stuff [05:21] and try to hack it [05:21] xiambax: there is no such thing as perfect security. period. there is only risk assessment [05:22] xiambax: I've used BSD before, but I also know nothing is 100% secure. The minute you believe you're 100% secure, you're insecure [05:22] xiambax: well one of the tenants of security is "availability." i dont think installing OpenBSD prevents me from stealing the power cord [05:22] This is true I suppose [05:22] xiambax: where there's a will, there's a way [05:22] True [05:23] Are you guys conical employees? [05:23] no [05:23] xiambax: no [05:23] Quassel, was it [05:23] just random folks [05:23] Fair [05:23] TBird: im using it [05:23] maco: work well? [05:23] xiambax: Besides. The biggest flaw in security for _any_ system is the human element [05:24] i run mirc in a vm :( [05:24] TBird: you can either use "quassel" as standalone or you can have a quassel core on a server and then connect to it with quassel client. thats similar to having irssi in screen and ssh'ing to it...except that you get a gui. but you get the irssi/screen/ssh benefit of being always online and always having scrollback [05:24] Doesn't matter how secure your servers are, your people are generally the weakest link! [05:24] TBird, Whats wrong with x-chat? [05:24] more a matter of being what im used to [05:24] TBird: im using quassel client and connecting to a quassel core on a friend's server. i like being able to see what i missed while i was asleep / eating / studying [05:24] xiambax: What's wrong with irssi [05:24] True [05:24] or BitchX [05:25] maco: yeah, i run mirc in a vm at home and rdp to it for much the same effect [05:25] indeed, I prefer irssi though [05:25] anybody up for helping an uber-newbie? [05:26] how come i dont see 'gconf-editor' from the menu in jaunty? [05:26] coastertal: no sorry [05:26] infid: its not installed by default... [05:26] coastertal: just ask your question [05:26] coastertal: if anyone knows the answer, theyll speak up [05:26] coastertal: and Geekneeus is joking (i hope) [05:26] I started with redhat 6, xchat was the first irc client i used [05:26] infid: You need to install it from synaptic or add or remove program [05:27] i use Xchat its cool [05:27] well i have no sound. speakers work fine but they don't work in ubuntu [05:27] aneesh: i have it installed, i can run it from the commandline [05:27] coastertal: first check everything's unmuted. if it is, file a bug [05:27] i manually added it to my menu now [05:28] hi to all [05:28] coastertal: master, front, pcm, iec958 (or whatever thats called, i always get it wrong)....all volume up and unmuted [05:28] infid: Did you check the system tool in the start menu?... [05:28] HiHI, i am dialing my pppoe-server on 9.06 ubuntu (LAN), from the xp client, so not connecting, only one user name and password can connect, not other, Error is here, http://pastebin.org/48298 [05:28] I don't like too many GUI apps [05:28] my nokia 2630 some animated themes doesnt works? any idea whats problem? [05:28] coastertal did you check your default sound under system->preferences->sound [05:28] Its weird to think iv been using linux for 10 years [05:29] xiambax: longer than me :P [05:29] Yeah. I lost touch though. I lost half my braincells doing drugs in my younger years lol [05:29] xiambax: I've only been using computers for 8 years [05:29] So im trying to catch up now [05:30] having two boxes plugged into the same switch with a a local router at 192.168.30.1 statically assigning each IP addresses. One box at 192.168.30.100 the other at 192.168.30.102. the 102 box pings 100 fine, but not the other way around. where should I start looking for why? [05:30] sound issues drive me nuts. I have a usb sound card and an internal one took me all day to get the sound to come out the speaker and skype to come out the usb phone [05:31] neosimago: firewall on the 102 box? [05:31] yoophglup: I had sound issues yesterday, after I uninstalled GDM, then I reinstalled it and sound came back.. no idea why [05:31] yoophglup: so you eventually found pavucontrol, im guessing? [05:31] Blocking pings? [05:31] * maco hides from the audio dicussions [05:31] Running stealth ? [05:31] * maco lives with the guy that handled ubuntu audio for years. hears the rants in person too often. [05:32] Billiard: 102 is running a default ubuntu with KDE4. [05:32] yoophglup, pulseaudio my friend [05:32] neosimago: Why type of ping is blocked? what firewall do you use? [05:32] no i setup up one with pulse audio and one with alsa, works good except I can't record with sound recorder unless i use the sound card, i wanted to use the phone but oh well. [05:32] what* [05:33] argh 5:30 am tired ;P [05:33] Geekneeus: there are different types of pings? it's just in a local switch. [05:33] neosimago: there are, pings/probes I wont go into them [05:33] I dont wanna go to work tomorrow :( [05:33] so i feel your pain [05:34] Billiard: portmap is running on the 102 box... would that block pings? [05:34] how do i change this ugly screen [05:35] color scheme is terrible [05:35] yeah portmap may be [05:35] if its the only differing variable it could very well be [05:35] !screen [05:35] Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH.

[05:36] krummlauf, you can customize a lot. here is one of my screenshots http://i33.tinypic.com/20jrec7.png [05:37] neosimago: if 102 pings 100, then either 100 may be blocking pings from 102, or 100 may be blocking pings. It's hard to say what the cause is though without knowing anything [05:38] i got a homework sort of question if anyone wanted to help out, the task is basically to create a cron at 1am everyday to backup one folder to a tape drive using TAR, but i want to do it so that there is a script that will check if the drive exists etc, can someone help ? === Jordan_U_ is now known as Jordan_U [05:39] Geekneeus: what's even more strange is that 100 is not resolving local hostnames. [05:39] !homework [05:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about homework [05:39] like it wont ping localrouter, or activebox2, box number 102. [05:39] !Zombies [05:39] !backup [05:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about Zombies [05:39] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [05:39] You don't know anything about zombies?! [05:39] however 102 resolves activebox, box 100 fine. [05:40] all connected on the same switch, with a DDWRT localrouter on 192.168.30.1. [05:40] neosimago: I wouldn't think portmap is the problem. What is 100? [05:40] neosimago: What kind of device? [05:41] 192.168.30.100 is a local file server. [05:41] this youtube concert is amazing! [05:41] vigo: thanks for the links, the main problem i am having trouble with is checking if the tape drive exists, and maybe write to a log file about the status [05:41] neosimago: and you have no firewalls running? [05:42] neosimago: just portmap on one? [05:42] ok [05:42] i just redid the appearance [05:42] it looks slightly better [05:42] gripe gripe gripe :D [05:42] for instance how do i check is /dev/sda is available for writing and then perform the backup ? [05:43] sigh... resolv.conf [05:43] saracen1: Might be a cron job or startup type script to /ping the other box, [05:43] how i can add a script to run auth by chkconfig ? [05:43] box 100 had it pointing to itself as the nameserver. [05:43] its on the same box i think [05:43] how did that happen? [05:43] actually let me paste it so you know what is asked, as you can see i am trying to do a better job [05:44] neosimago: probably your network manager tool [05:44] saracen1: so what happens if it's not writable?

[05:48] saracen1: you want us to make you a script? [05:48] no [05:48] just some pointers like what DigitalKiwi said [05:48] (yes) [05:48] like the commands i need to use etc [05:48] such as fdisk as he mentioned [05:48] is Digital Kiwi also go by Kiwi? [05:48] and the order [05:48] "i want you to write it, and me to type it.

[05:50] I know you from somewhere [05:50] xiambax: where's that? [05:50] Geekneeus: i got the cron part and tar, its only either tar or cpio that has to be used so i am going with tar [05:50] I have no idea, efnet, waffles, oswd? [05:50] just the checking of the drives etc [05:50] darn. i think squid bind is affecting resolvconfig to resolving box 100 as a dns server. [05:51] or whatever was big before freenode [05:51] it was O something or other [05:51] openprojects? [05:51] for irc I'm only on oftc in #awesome, freenode, and irc.nexuswar. the last is the only one I'm kiwi in [05:52] must be another kiwi [05:52] probably was oftc [05:52] mind you im old and change my handle every year [05:52] Usta go by SystemX [05:53] bleedapathy, i am ba, ba, [05:53] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [05:53] saracen1: It seems you need to tar a folder, every day at 1 a.m and put it onto another device? except saturday and sundays [05:53] Geekneeus: yeah i got the cron part [05:53] how do i make VLC default player for DVDs [05:54] saracen1: So what do you need to check drives for? Disk space? [05:54] don't check anything. attempt to perform the backup, and the tool will error out. [05:54] Geekneeus: and it would probably be done using a one liner on the cron its self, like tar /dev/whatever /dev/sda sort of thing [05:54] but instead i thought ill use a script as a command [05:55] saracen1: if you can make a script it should only take you 2 minutes [05:55] Where can i deactivate the automatic updates? everybody says its in synaptic but i cant find it [05:55] and in the script, it checks if the drive is mounted astleast, then if it is do the tar then write to the end of a log file success on date, if not write to the log failed [05:55] attempt to perform the backup, and report error if tar exits with error. [05:55] roger2: System:Preferences:Prefered Applications [05:55] saracen1: don't check if it's mounted, there's no point. [05:55] then what should i do [05:56] its a tape drive [05:56] thanks all who replied. .. . i forgot this box was used for dns some time ago, and resolvconfig would point to itself. [05:56] saracen1: tar it and report an error if tar exits with error [05:56] saracen1: make it do the basic functions, then worry about what else you should do :P [05:56] don't waste time with pointless checks [05:56] krsna: system > administration > software sources > updates [05:56] saracen1: are you going to mount it if it's not mounted? [05:56] ah ok, that seems more sensible then [05:56] no [05:56] saracen1: then there's no point. [05:57] Hello all [05:57] ok prince_jammys ill do it the way you suggested then [05:57] it does make more sense === Mizuho_chan is now known as AliceMargatroid [05:57] i want to download the ubuntu Karmic repositories only with deb mirror, how can i do this please???? [05:58] Shtl: #ubuntu+1 is for karmic [05:58] thanks for the help guys i think i got it now [05:58] lstarnes thx. i was in this menu, but i cant find it even here. if i deactive "automati updates" in the window you indicated, still i am asked for updates... if i check "daily" i am still asked more than daily ... [05:58] saracen1: can I see what you have? [05:59] krsna: so you never want to update or be asked for updates? [05:59] "+ === Jordan_U_ is now known as Jordan_U [05:59] I have trouble sleeping. [05:59] lstarnes (typo). yes. no asking for updates [05:59] DigitalKiwi: i didnt write the 1 minute script yet, but i think i know what to do [05:59] Geekneeus: #defocus [05:59] Can someone tell if i can make a script that takes the focus to the Terminal and runs a command? Need it for saving time @ coding... [05:59] krsna: then uncheck the "check for updates" bnx [05:59] *box [06:00] Rabbitbunny: heh, was waiting for a channel suggestion :) [06:00] hadean: You don't need a script, man gnome-terminal, specifically the -e flag. [06:00] krsna: but remember that disabling all updates may lead to huge security risks associated with outdated packages [06:00] saracen1: i wouldn't suppress tar's error message either, if you are using your own custom one. redirect both tar's stderr and your message to the log. [06:00] Rabbitbunny: thanks a lot [06:00] prince_jammys: ok that seems like a good idea [06:01] lstarnes i have unchecked the "check for updates" box, thats what i am saying... this menu seems not to work [06:01] Rabbitbunny: Not a thing of my Window-manager (metacity) ? [06:01] krsna: what about it doesn't work? [06:01] lstarnes it still asks me [06:02] krsna: how often? [06:02] like ... changing the focus to another window? [06:02] hadean: Hmm, got me there, you're going to have to find what it uses instead of gnome-terminal, and finds its' -e flag. [06:02] lstarnes on boot-up, after editing sources.list and so on. and more often than daily === YDdraigGoch is now known as Guest72665 [06:03] krsna: which version of ubuntu are you using? [06:03] Hi all, is it safe to run fsck on '/' ? [06:03] krana: Not really relevant, but it makes sense as the question is posed: http://artlung.com/smorgasborg/C_R_Y_P_T_O_N_O_M_I_C_O_N.shtml ,,, is a good read also. [06:03] lstarnes jauntyx [06:03] *jaunty* [06:04] krsna: have you installed any of the updates? [06:04] SunilThaha: You need to do it while / isn't mounted. While booting is an easy way to do it. [06:04] !fsck | SunilThaha [06:04] SunilThaha: 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 [06:04] lstarnes yes [06:04] Rabbitbunny: The problem is that i cant find any documentation of metacity that goes further than documentation... [06:04] krsna: it could be an issue with the cron scripts used with it or with the update notifier appler [06:04] is compiz an idea? [06:04] *applet [06:04] ubottu: thank you, that was short and sweet :) [06:04] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:04] lstarnes i can see that avoiding this popup can only be done by deleting the updates lines in souces.list [06:05] meimei [06:05] krsna: there may be another way [06:05] hello [06:05] lstarnes how can i repair the update nofifier appler [06:05] krsna: applet [06:05] Flannel: is ubottu a bot ? [06:05] SunilThaha: yes [06:05] !best bot [06:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about best bot [06:06] SunilThaha: yes [06:06] :) [06:06] !fart [06:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about fart [06:06] :D [06:06] !bot abuse [06:06] Please don't play with the bots, or else...

[06:06] lstarnes the cron jobs are crazy here anyway. [06:07] There is also an online Ubottu. [06:07] krsna: right-click on the applet and see if the "show notifications" box is checked [06:08] lstarnes what applet? [06:08] krsna: the update notifier applet [06:08] lstarnes ? is this the window we were talking about? [06:09] krsna: no [06:09] krsna: the applet that displays the update popups [06:10] !msgthebot [06:10] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [06:10] that makes very little sense. [06:11] lstarnes. ok. ic. if i remember correctly it is the same window as the one we were talking about. i will go for the cronjobs rather [06:11] krsna: no [06:11] Flannel: sudo shutdown -F -r now didn't force a fsck [06:11] krsna: it is not the software sources window [06:11] any idea why? [06:11] SunilThaha: What version of Ubuntu are you on? [06:11] krsna: check there before messing with the cronjobs [06:11] Jaunty [06:11] lstarnes so how can i see the update notifier applet? [06:11] guys when i am trying to do apt-get install fuser i get nothing [06:12] SunilThaha: Interesting. Try this: "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" [06:12] krsna: update the package list. if there are updates and the applet is working, it should appear in one of the panels [06:12] SunilThaha: (that'll reboot) [06:12] let me check === Srpski is now known as Dannyboy [06:12] Flannel: is it safe to use ext4 ?

They recently switched to using RDP over ssl - can i use tsclient to connect to RDP+ssl ? [06:29] Is there a program I can use to show me my computers specs?

[06:32] krummaluf: id switch to kde then ;) === enderman401 is now known as enderman [06:32] maco; and there's definitely an ubuntu channel.. and I am on ubuntu [06:33] PerryArmstrong: but youre asking a java programming question [06:33] maco; okk ya.... [06:33] o [06:33] kde is way sexier huh? [06:33] PerryArmstrong: so it might make more sense to ask java programmers, not a bunch of people who just wanna get their printers working [06:33] is it compatible with this software? [06:33] krummaluf: yes [06:33] krummaluf: sure. apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [06:33] krummaluf: you can use kde apps in gnome and gnome apps in kde [06:33] maco; hehe the channel has many people but there seems noone to reply since long time [06:34] PerryArmstrong: you'll need to wait for an answer or use some google-foo [06:34] PerryArmstrong: Is that a QT4 thing or JR6? [06:35] vigo; i dont know whats QT4 and JR6...do you mean JRE6?? [06:35] anyway to enable xdmc easyly? [06:36] PerryArmstrong: Yes, my apologies, I was snickering at the xox google-foo comment. [06:36] Is still funny... [06:36] krummaluf: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D1EpnOVJuA8/So7qCpHFM1I/AAAAAAAACyk/D7aPAwq1DIY/s400/kubuntu_karmic_01.png heres a screenshot of the version of kubuntu thats coming out on thursday [06:37] ok [06:37] good call then [06:37] vigo; well i am learning servlets and jsp as part of my academics...in college we use eclipse, tomcat and jre6 on windows environment. I want to try it on my ubuntu...but then i have no idea [06:38] haha at my school we werent supposed to use eclipse because its too hand-holding. we were told "go use emacs" but i used vi instead [06:39] why is this thing asking me if im root [06:39] of course im f***ing root [06:39] PerryArmstrong: sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre eclipse tomcat6 [06:40] krummaluf, use prepend 'sudo' in front of your command. (without the quotes) [06:40] fool__; whats next?? [06:40] lol, I log into here and the 1st thing I see is "of course im f***ing root" ah, ubuntu irc help never changes :P [06:40] PerryArmstrong: open your browser, point to localhost:8080 [06:40] hi [06:40] PerryArmstrong: Yes, is JR, http://www.javalobby.org/java/forums/t17843 that is a kind of Windows link/blog, [06:41] fool__; since tomcat is installed i can see the page [06:41] PerryArmstrong: ok then everything's setup [06:42] fool__; tomcat was already installed...jre and eclipse are still downloading [06:43] PerryArmstrong, im not sure if the repo has been updated - but the eclipse was really old when i tried it [06:44] PerryArmstrong, i went and downloaded from the eclipse site instead (after attempting to upgrade it without success - and many hours lost) [06:44] is there a "bloated"/ultimate version of ubuntu? [06:44] I"m kinda sick of having to load up each individual thing I want to use [06:44] xaxxon: officially, no. on the internet, yes [06:44] joebodo_; oh somehow i want to run servlets and jsp successfully [06:44] sorry, common-program-x is not installed. run apt-get [06:44] sorry, common-program-y is not installed. run apt-get [06:44] sorry, common-program-z is not installed. run apt-get [06:44] ...and on and on [06:44] xaxxon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:45] that's EXACTLY how I feel, floodbiot [06:45] PerryArmstrong, you want the web developer version of eclipse - i recommend downloading the prepackaged version from the website [06:45] !ultimate [06:45] The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition [06:45] xaxxon: ^ [06:45] nod [06:45] xaxxon: UbuntuStudio is a heavyweight. sorta. [06:45] I AM ROOT [06:45] xaxxon: so yes it exists, but... [06:46] krummaluf: good for you? [06:46] krummaluf, you did "sudo -i" to become root ? [06:46] joebodo_; whats that... [06:46] krummaluf: the first user in ubuntu isnt root...and there is no root password...so usually youd have to sudo unless you set a password for root and then logged in as it [06:46] sudo su - [06:46] PerryArmstrong, one sec - ill find the url [06:46] i did sudo [06:46] maco: there is root [06:47] just by itself [06:47] is that bad? [06:47] icarus-c: root is locked by default [06:47] krummaluf: then you didnt run anything as root [06:47] !sudo [06:47] 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) [06:47] is that bad? [06:47] krummaluf: youhave to tell sudo what you want to run [06:47] krummaluf: otherwise it just doesnt do anything [06:47] well its installing kde desktop right now [06:48] xaxxon: there's dvd releases. download that instead? [06:48] joebodo_; okk [06:48] hrmm.. quite possibly [06:48] either way, you're downloading it at some point. [06:49] what is different between ubuntu and debian sid? [06:49] vox: web page says dvd is mostly just other language [06:49] PerryArmstrong, http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ [06:49] Hello , I updated yesterday and my graphics card now doesnt load or something. It a nvidia . Anyone know how to fix? [06:49] xaxxon: fair enough [06:49] icarus-c, hmm why debian sid why not just debian? === nxnn14_ is now known as nxnn14 [06:49] icarus-c: more spit n polish [06:49] Also , how can i see what type of video card it is? [06:49] I want something that comes with editors and compilers and such [06:49] oobe: coz ubuntu is based on sid [06:49] PerryArmstrong, you want to pick jave EE Developers version - that one contains the web tools [06:50] get the top 100 things people apt-get and put them with it [06:50] or something. anyhoo, I'm fine. just annoying a bit [06:50] icarus-c: and a few ubuntu specifics like one backup system, etc.. [06:50] xaxxon: that's not going to be installed by default - majority of people arent going to use them. [06:50] me and not having the software already [06:50] i downloaded a film and a have some files like "name.z01, name.z02......,name.zip" how to uncompress them??? [06:50] icarus-c, sid is really old [06:50] xaxxon: install build-essential and youll have compilers [06:50] ok [06:50] chilli0: lspci , i think [06:50] #ploneconf2009 [06:50] chilli0: lspci -v [06:51] thanks. [06:51] Thank you [06:51] oobe: sid is bleeding edge [06:51] so whats ur favorite sexy desktop theme? [06:51] joebodo_; okk so because of my ignorance can i ask you: does jsp and servlets come under this J2EE or JEE [06:51] oobe: um... afaik, ubuntu grab debian SID regularly and work there [06:51] joebodo_; and suppose if i install this version and if i in future want to program php also...do i need to download another version?? [06:51] krummaluf: could you use a word other than sexy? because if you keep using that word, i expect playboy/playgirl models will be suggested [06:52] icarus-c, oh ok [06:52] PerryArmstrong, you should just be able to add the php related tools to your eclipse [06:52] krummaluf: pretty? shiny? dark? bright? colourful? [06:53] maco: dark [06:53] u kno real sharp look [06:53] joebodo_; okk so you mean the one which i am downloading now is the normal eclipse with the j2EE plugin?? [06:53] krummaluf: oh! right so in kde there's a thing called Get Hot New Stuff. itll let you browse themes and download them 1-click install [06:53] !offtopic | ktummaluf [06:53] ktummaluf: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:54] PerryArmstrong, the one from the repo was so outdated i did not try and develop with it - [06:54] o ok [06:54] sexy [06:54] joebodo_; okk so you are sure if i want to develop php.. i can just add this php plugin [06:54] krummaluf: seriously, stop that [06:54] When 9.10 comes out, can I upgrade my previous version to it (I run 8.04)? [06:55] Hello - anybody have time for an installation question? [06:55] Or do I have to reinstall? [06:55] ubutto can u please tel me how to connect gprs in ubuntu 9.04 [06:55] chemjeff: sure [06:55] PerryArmstrong, yes - you can add support for just about anything to your install [06:55] ehum hi guys. [06:55] quaredscube: youll have to upgrade through the other versions [06:55] can any1 tell me how to change an irc channel [06:55] sry, go easy on me - new to this stuff [06:55] Okay, well I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop on a system and it won't even get to the beginning, it bails out and gives me the Busybox shell. What can I do? [06:55] joebodo_; thanks...after downloading where do i need to put it?? [06:55] quaredscube: or reinstall. either one. skipping releases on upgrade is not supported except to go from one LTS to another. the next being 10.04 [06:56] hello? [06:56] chemjeff: use the -alternate cd [06:56] vox: I did, the same thing happens [06:56] XelticSore: type "/join #newchannel" [06:56] no i mean [06:56] vox: It says that it can't mount the CD-ROM [06:56] How to change the channel like blabla.blabla.com [06:56] chemjeff: uh.. [06:56] XelticSore: oh the server? [06:56] XelticSore: /server [06:56] oh ok [06:56] thanks! :) [06:56] XelticSore: what client are you using? [06:56] im using XChat [06:56] chemjeff: what hardware? [06:56] maco, so every 6 months I must reinstall? [06:56] PerryArmstrong, you can put it in either your home directory (like /home/xxxx/eclipse) or in /opt/eclipse [06:56] quaredscube: you can upgrade [06:57] XelticSore: hit Ctrl+T [06:57] meh [06:57] quaredscube: but you cannot upgrade from 8.04 to 9.10 because 8.10 and 9.04 happened in between [06:57] PerryArmstrong, it'll run in just about any location you unzip it to [06:57] quaredscube: you can upgrade through 8.10 and 9.04 [06:57] vox: Intel Core i7 920, Asus P6T Deluxe MB, 6 GB Corsair DDR3@1600 RAM, what else do you want to know? [06:57] joebodo_; okk thats it right...thanks...i am leaving then as the xchat is taking much of my bandwidth [06:57] ok [06:57] quaredscube: or every 6 months upgrade as new versions are released [06:57] quaredscube: or every 2 years upgrade as new LTS versions are released [06:57] chemjeff: why not xeon [06:58] quaredscube: but distances > 6 months and < 2 years require more work [06:58] icarus-c: Because I wanted the LGA 1366 socket [06:58] joebodo_; cya then and thanks for the help... [06:58] quaredscube: by upgrade through, i men tell 8.04 to go to 8.10, then tell 8.10 to go to 9.04, then tell 9.04 to go to 9.10 [06:58] chemjeff: thats.. very weird. i dont have an answer for that [06:59] joebodo_; i was hit by this problem for more than a week and i couldn't get a solution...thanks once again [06:59] maco, does upgrading to the new 6 month version require manual effort on my part, or does Ubuntu include the necessaries when I use the update tools? [06:59] vox: I was able to install Gentoo on the same system but I can't install Ubuntu for some reason [06:59] and thanks to others ....maco ans others who tried helping me [06:59] quaredscube: its in the update tools [06:59] vox: I did an lspci and it is misassigning my PCI devices, it thinks my hard drive is a network card, etc. Could this be the problem? [06:59] quaredscube: in system -> administration -> software sources, there is an option to either notify you about all new versions, only new LTS verisons, or not at all [07:00] maco, thanks [07:00] quaredscube: set it to the all new versions setting, and it should offer to go to 8.10 [07:00] quaredscube: er the second it = the update manager [07:00] maco, why does it require more effort to upgrade to the next LTS? [07:00] chemjeff: i'd wager that's a yes [07:01] quaredscube: one LTS to the next LTS is a single upgrade. its easy [07:01] vox: Is there a way to correctly scan the PCI devices? [07:01] chemjeff: might be something about the chipset that kernel doesnt like - check launchpad [07:01] quaredscube: its when you want to go from 1 version to another where they are *not* both LTS and also not sequential that its more annoying [07:02] quaredscube: the effort required to make skipping releases easy is somethng that is only expended for LTS [07:03] * icarus-c loves rolling release distro somehow [07:04] maco, what do you think of Mint? [07:04] quaredscube: never tried it [07:05] quaredscube: it is ubuntu with more addons to enhance user experience [07:05] <_JacK_> polling socket has returned, but read no one byte, what is the problem? [07:05] I know [07:05] But do you disagree with its principles? [07:06] quaredscube: what principle [07:06] quaredscube: it is just ubuntu with a different skin [07:06] It includes closed-source stuff too [07:06] whats the best way to find out the date a picture was taken with ubuntu? [07:07] U-b-u-n-t-u: date -r [07:07] icarus-c: how does that make sense? [07:07] icarus-c, will that show when it was taken or when it was uploaded [07:08] modification time *may* tell [07:08] downloaded* [07:08] U-b-u-n-t-u: does the picture got tags [07:08] icarus-c, I have no idea [07:08] Well I will try it with Ubuntu 9.04 and I'll see what happens [07:09] U-b-u-n-t-u: i mean metadata [07:09] U-b-u-n-t-u: what icarus-c said just shows today's date [07:09] maco: man date [07:09] aha [07:09] !man [07:09] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [07:09] -r, --reference=FILE [07:09] display the last modification time of FILE [07:09] icarus-c: ah ok. was thinking of date -R [07:09] lol [07:09] U-b-u-n-t-u: the python exif tools may help [07:10] U-b-u-n-t-u: lemme see how they work [07:10] icarus-c, if it was downloaded today then it will show the file as being todays date [07:10] I want to know if there is one that shows the actual date taken [07:10] U-b-u-n-t-u: try right click on the picture then see properties [07:10] icarus-c, I did that [07:10] shows todays date [07:10] U-b-u-n-t-u: gnome? [07:10] yes [07:11] U-b-u-n-t-u: look at the image tab [07:11] from nautilus [07:11] i mean when you look at properties [07:11] U-b-u-n-t-u: ok got it [07:11] nice how? [07:12] U-b-u-n-t-u: so if you want a way to script this, the exif package gets you the command exif. "exif -l file.jpg | grep date" will show you teh tags relating to the date [07:12] exif data is shown in Properties under image tab [07:12] U-b-u-n-t-u: the 0x1234 thing on the left are what you need. "exif -t 0x1234 file.jpg" === kb is now known as Guest44059 [07:13] U-b-u-n-t-u: in the case of one of my files i had "0x9003 Date and Time (original)" so i did "exif -t 0x9003 file.jpg" [07:13] ok trying it now one sec [07:13] would exiv be a better tool?..... [07:14] hex number is scary [07:14] icarus-c: if you wanna script it to death.... [07:15] run exiv2 without any option would just print all meta data [07:16] um it came back with does not contain EXIF data! [07:16] U-b-u-n-t-u: hopeless then [07:16] U-b-u-n-t-u: so its not the original file from the camera? gimp'd or something... [07:17] its from my cell phone [07:17] hi [07:17] Is there a terminal command to see how much ram/cpu I am using [07:17] top? [07:17] cycrosism: "free -m" shows ram info [07:17] cycrosism: in megabytes [07:17] hi [07:17] hi all [07:18] Thanks crohakon and maco they both worked [07:18] i'm a new ubuntu player [07:18] cycrosism, and "htop" is nicer than "top" [07:18] when i run top I see compiz.real running. What is this and how do I turn it off? [07:18] this was the error [07:18] can i ask somebody how to install ym here [07:18] Rabbitbunny: thats your compositing window manager [07:18] Corrupt data (ExifLoader): [07:18] The data supplied does not seem to contain EXIF data. [07:18] U-b-u-n-t-u: your phone must not set it then [07:19] ah [07:19] nice htop lookes cool velko_ [07:19] thanks for the help [07:19] maco: I don't want it. can I turn it off? [07:19] Rabbitbunny: system ->preferences -> appearance -> desktop effects [07:19] never knew about htop, just installed it. Nice, thanks velko_ [07:20] Rabbitbunny: compiz is a window manager, it is the thing that is doing all the 3D desktop effects [07:20] maco: Thanks. [07:20] icarus-c: I need my proc for other things, not making pretties. [07:20] Rabbitbunny: turn it off if you like [07:21] thecrush as in yahoo messanger [07:21] * Rabbitbunny gains + 1.3% proc! [07:21] Rabbitbunny: have you ever consider going with a tiling WM ? [07:21] Rabbitbunny: you know, a DE is heavy [07:21] and bloat [07:21] lol [07:22] icarus-c: like xfce or lxde? [07:22] Rabbitbunny: i mean like xmonad [07:22] oh. no, but i will now. === nithin_ is now known as IamNutts [07:22] xfce is still heavy comparing with tiling === IamNutts is now known as nutts === nutts is now known as _nits [07:23] Rabbitbunny: if you want to squeeze performance further, consider compiling applications and kernel using optimized cflags for your machine. [07:24] or just go command line... [07:24] who needs pretty graphics =) === Tommi is now known as Tommi|zzz [07:24] icarus-c: is there a built-in thing to do that? [07:24] nice i got my speakers to work :) [07:24] crohakon: yea... especially when you can even watch video in tty [07:24] crohakon: I'm modelling an ant colony, it's graphical. [07:25] cool [07:25] oh? can I see? [07:25] And you can watch video in tty?! [07:25] ah!! rabbit bunny [07:25] Big Bug Bunny huh? [07:25] teach me blender someday :P [07:25] i feel very advanced [07:26] krummaluf: you have finally plugged your speakers? [07:26] krummaluf; finally found the 3.5 jack, eh? [07:26] i have a question about networking. I want to move large files 700mb or greater to my PC in the cellar which is running winXP from this PC which is Ubuntu 9.04. [07:27] what is causing the transfer to "time out" [07:27] Harrison_Bergero: bad connection [07:27] WinXP [07:27] 3/4 of the way through the transfer [07:27] hehe [07:27] Harrison_Bergero ftp best off i think [07:27] crohakon: thats not helpful [07:27] Icarus-c....i can understand that if it happened all the time [07:27] vox; was not meant to be [07:27] but it only happens sometimes [07:28] h4x0rz shouldn't recommend people to ftp.. [07:28] Harrison_Bergero if ur ursing wireless I got that too often [07:28] h4ck3rz....ftp across the LAN? [07:28] Harrison_Bergero; what protocol are you using, SMB? [07:28] crohakon: http://imagebin.org/69168 [07:28] moshelter....its cabled [07:28] crohakon...good question...i dont know [07:28] yeah ftp across the lan stop netdrops as easy coz u can resume them after netdrop [07:28] Rabbitbunny: what the hell... you don't make use of multi workspaces?! [07:28] <_nits> when my machines load average goes higher than 2.0, then the system will shutdown atm, any clues? [07:29] _nits: possibly overheating [07:29] crohakon...just went into the networking tab and found the windows network and clicked my way through [07:29] Harrison_Bergero; wireless connection? [07:29] no [07:29] icarus-c: no, all the stuff fits at the bottom. [07:30] Harrison_Bergero; tried setting up an ftp server on the computer in the cellar? [07:30] Harrison_Bergero does only the file transfer stop, or do u loose all network connectivity? [07:30] Rabbitbunny; Nice, SimAnt? Is that some kind of game? [07:30] moshelter...only file transfer [07:30] <_nits> vox: how can i improve performance, i mean wat i could do to avoid shut down? [07:30] crohakon: it's simulated ants. [07:30] Rabbitbunny: http://imagebin.org/69169 [07:31] Rabbitbunny; I once had a game called SimAnts for the SNES... man I miss that game. [07:31] could it be that i cant connect simulaneously.....i have VNC running as well [07:31] _nits: install sensors-applet and see if your cpu is overheating [07:31] could just be a timeout feature in the server sounds weird [07:31] one connected via VNC, second connection by network tab in ubuntu [07:31] crohakon: Well, I guess you could watch these... that could be exciting. [07:32] Rabbitbunny; Where does one get that program? [07:32] crohakon: I guess I could zip you a copy and put it on omploader... but you're talking to the developer. [07:32] does this mean i have a faulty CAT5 cable_ [07:33] Harrison_Bergero try to mount the share -- I'm not sure if u can do a windows share as CIFS, but try it out, Nautilus mounts with something but I have no clue with what [07:33] noshelter: yes you can [07:33] noshelter.....the share is on the desktop...i suppose its already mounted? [07:33] Rabbitbunny; oh? I have always had a bit of a love for ants. I spent three summers of my childhood watching a red ant nation grow and die in the woods behind our house. lol [07:33] crohakon: hahahahaha [07:34] icarus-c; don't judge me =) [07:34] * icarus-c invites people to play sauerbraten [07:34] Harrison_Bergero yes it is mounted, but there is a diff between smbfs and cifs, i think the latter is more relaible [07:34] smbfs is obsolete afaik [07:35] nautilus uses gvfs [07:35] icarus-c: smbfs has been obsoleted by cifs. [07:35] there u go [07:36] noshelter...let me do a bit of reading on CIFS....bbl [07:36] icarus-c: and GnomeVFS/GVFS/GIO is a quite different thing. [07:36] icarus-c, it's better to say nothing than to say such nonsence [07:36] (GVFS is what GNOME uses now; GnomeVFS was the older thing) [07:37] noshelter: Basically, CIFS is updated SMB. You can mount.cifs a Windows share and it will work fine. [07:37] grawity yup, i thought so, just haven't used a windows partition in over 5 years, so i kidna forgot [07:38] noshelter....CIFS involves setting up a domain in windows. Does this work better than workgroup networking? [07:38] Harrison_Bergero: No it doesn't. [07:38] Harrison_Bergero: CIFS can use workgroups just fine [07:38] (AFAIK. [07:39] gravity...here is what im referring to:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=12306 [07:39] Harrison_Bergero: why not man mount.cifs [07:40] Harrison_Bergero: you mean that //server[or domain]/ * ? [07:40] Harrison_Bergero: I have used mount.cifs on my desktop PC, with Windows XP, workgroup. [07:40] Harrison_Bergero: I have used mount.cifs on my damn _phone_. [07:40] Harrison_Bergero: A domain is not required [07:40] gravity...k === crohakon is now known as crohakon|zZz [07:41] Hey, it appears to be working with Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop. So I guess Ubuntu 8.04 just doesn't support the modern system. [07:42] connect irc.quakenet.com [07:42] yikes [07:42] / [07:43] can somebody tell me if xlsfonts | less gives them any font that contains monospace in the name? [07:43] hello, i ran "sudo nano /etc/modules"..i am trying to setup my sound card...following a howto from ubuntuhelp, it says >>add "snd-es1938" to /etc/modules so that it would be loaded at boot time. [07:43] i can't seem to set xft:monospace as the font for my xterms [07:43] i dont know exactly what to do, what line to add it to and how [07:43] i need some help with this command line: [07:43] sudo mount -t cifs /// // -o [07:43] username=*****,password=***** [07:44] looks fine [07:44] is mount-point designation on ubuntu? [07:44] whats the problem? [07:44] yeah [07:44] yes [07:44] a folder [07:44] k [07:44] noshelter: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:44] noshelter, seems as though you type too fast. [07:44] knoppies ha , yeah, my mistake, got used to msn type of typing [07:45] I was just teasing. [07:46] ubuntu 9.04 is giving me such grief .... [07:46] what does "lp" mean? [07:46] its at the end of GNU nano etc/modules file [07:46] zetheroo2, pls explain. [07:46] "lp" [07:46] kernel panics several times a day [07:46] so can anybody run this at terminal: xlsfonts | less , then do a search on monospace and tell me if they get anything? [07:46] knoppies: kernel panics [07:47] zetheroo2, i know very little about the kernel, sorry. [07:47] roger2: "print files" from man page [07:47] knoppies: yeah ... that is the biggest issue around ... and nobody knows much of anything about it [07:47] noshelter: why not pipe it into grep instead, the search is then done for you [07:48] hello [07:48] dear all [07:48] please tell me, how can i backup my ubuntu sytem [07:48] actionparsnip or that, but I have already done it, and I can't find anything on my new system , but I had monospace as the font for gnome-terminal, so I am not sure what the problem is here ... [07:48] noshelter: pattern not found [07:49] noshelter: http://pastebin.com/f79d357b7 [07:49] noshelter: 'Monospace' is not a font - it's just a ... symlink to whatever you chose in Appearance. [07:49] noshelter: Usually, DejaVu Sans Mono. [07:50] noshelter: thats the entire output [07:50] zetheroo: any special drivers you are using? [07:50] actionparsnip lol? for real, 6 lines... [07:50] noshelter: of xlsfonts [07:50] please tell me, how can i backup my ubuntu sytem [07:50] noshelter: s'all i got, what were you expecting [07:50] !backup | jitender [07:50] jitender: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [07:50] noshelter: http://sprunge.us/jUhL - xlsfonts|pastebin [07:51] ok....that command line seemed to work....now its time to test it [07:51] noshelter: ahhh, i use ms office 2k3 via wine ;) [07:52] grawity: that looks more like wgat I have, I just don;t remember what was set in gnome in aperance to get the terminal font [07:52] Ok, Im really not sure if this is a ubuntu problem or a os x or a afp problem (everything was working last friday). When mounting a folder with afp using netatalk its .svn folders won't show up in os x. Checking the folder in Ubuntu they're there. Ideas on why this would happen? [07:52] any applicayion available for backup [07:52] grawity: and now im on fluxbox, so I kinda have to find the right one and edit my stuff to work with it [07:53] jitender: ubottu just gave you 6 links on possible backup solutions [07:53] noshelter: Run gconf-editor, find /desktop/gnome/interface/monospace_font_name [07:53] but i unable to open links [07:54] jitender: rsync is one possiblility, depends what you are backing up [07:54] grawity: don't have gnome anymore, using fluxbox, that's why i was hopping someone with gnome could share that with me [07:54] i want to backup my full system [07:54] jitender: i you are backing up the OS i'd use partimage personally, if its just user data then rsync will be good [07:54] noshelter: Share what exactly? [07:54] Good day everyone , would you introduce 1 or more biggest mailing list or forums for linux ? [07:54] grawity: what is stored in /desktop/gnome/interface/monospace_font_name [07:55] grawity: if that is the exact path to it, im lacking gconf-editor, so i have no clue how to check that [07:55] how i can find the rsync [07:55] noshelter: "DejaVu Sans Mono 10" [07:55] noshelter: Maybe you have gconftool-2? [07:55] noshelter: And if not... wait a minute, I'm googling for something. [07:56] Hi guys. [07:56] !info rsync [07:56] grawity: yes i have gconftool-2, let me check it out [07:56] rsync (source: rsync): fast remote file copy program (like rcp). In component main, is standard. Version 3.0.5-1ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 330 kB, installed size 664 kB [07:56] i'm unable to install flash on my liveusb for some reason. [07:56] yes [07:56] noshelter: Ah, edit ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and add: gtk-font-name = "DejaVu Sans Mono 10" [07:56] jitender: its part of a standard install [07:56] jitender: you have it [07:56] no [07:57] jitender: then run: sudo apt-get install rsync [07:57] grawity: don't have that file, and xterm doesn't use by default i think (since it;s not a gtk app as far as I know) [07:57] noshelter: You can use .gtkrc-2.0 to set GTK themes too - gtk-icon-theme-name = "Mist" // gtk-theme-name = "Clearlooks" // gtk-toolbar-style = GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH_HORIZ // [07:57] ok...novice question regarding file transfers....if there is no error message, can i assume the entire file was copied verbatim? [07:57] noshelter: Yeah, xterm isn't GTK... [07:58] across the LAN [07:58] noshelter: And Xterm won't support DejaVu either, I think. [07:58] noshelter: At least not the pretty antialisified version. [07:58] Harrison_Bergero: md5sum ,etc [07:58] grawity: yeah, that's the thing, tho I am not sure how fluxbox can make use of xft-fonts, and xterm can't [07:59] is this Gadmin Rsync [07:59] jitender: not sure, its just rsync afaik [07:59] grawity: and i tried eterm and aterm as alt to xterm, but i couldn't get those to work with anything other than what xfontsel gives [07:59] noshelter: Because fluxbox is written with xft support in mind, and Xterm is a pure X app, written way before Xft. [07:59] icarus-c...where do i find the md5sumẞ [07:59] noshelter: How about just using gnome-terminal? I use that on wmii. [08:00] Harrison_Bergero: maybe you stick with the classics : compare the size and total number of files [08:00] this application i have already installed, but unable to backup [08:00] grawity: neah, im gona be stuborn on this one, and figure it out :P [08:00] icarus-c....yeah, size and file number are same [08:00] how this app work [08:00] noshelter: In short, Xterm has no Xft. [08:00] Harrison_Bergero, you have to build them for yourself. for bot files. linux side: md5sum myfile.avi [08:01] Harrison_Bergero, both* [08:01] grawity: but what about eterm/aterm? [08:01] hello action , r u there [08:01] noshelter: Those ones - I have no idea... [08:01] guide me pls [08:03] grawity: and lol, xterm -fa monospace makes use of the xft monospace family of fonts [08:03] Harrison_Bergero, there are free tools for doing the same on windows. if you cannot install them on your win-machine, simply get the file back to the linux machine and build the checksum for it ;) [08:03] noshelter: O_o [08:03] grawity: http://www.xfree86.org/current/fonts2.html [08:03] * grawity notes [08:05] icarus-c: special drivers? [08:05] i noticed that without torrent running, the "connection time out" does not occur. Perhaps my router was overloaded. [08:05] damn...and as soon as i typed that, what do you know....a time out! [08:05] grawity: now i just need to find out how to set it to work by default for aterm/eterm ... which is surprisngly hard.. tho it's that easy for xterm lol [08:05] jitender: try tab completing names [08:05] i'm thinking of changing to kubuntu from debian, and i was wondering, is troubleshooting on kubuntu and more difficult that on ubuntu? [08:06] also, is 64-bit (k)ubuntu supported very well? [08:06] jitender: see how my text highlights for you, thats not an accident [08:06] jitender: try typing actio then pressing tab, it will complete my nick [08:06] dansushi, it's the same. kubuntu is ubuntu with kde [08:06] dansushi: 64bit is supported very well [08:07] i've noticed that when people use gnome, many programs are integrated into it that are control main settings of ubuntu [08:07] are they easy to get to in kde in kubuntu? [08:08] dansushi, the last time i checked kubuntu was one of the worst kde distros available [08:08] *that control [08:08] dansushi: kde has kontrolcentre [08:08] velko_: really, why do you say that? [08:08] velko_: +1 [08:08] dansushi: fyi, you can install gnome desktop on kubuntu, its not a seperate OS in any way [08:08] dansushi, because this is my experience [08:09] oh, i know [08:09] dansushi: good [08:09] i downloaded a film and a have some files like "name.z01, name.z02......,name.zip" how to uncompress them??? [08:09] icarus-c, nope - #ubuntu-offtopic ;) [08:09] ActionParsnip: is it a good idea to install ubuntu, and then kde on that? [08:09] dansushi: makes no difference [08:09] babbio: its also probably illegal [08:09] velko_: well, i mean, what did you not like about it? [08:10] dansushi, the bugs [08:10] it is not because the film is a dvd backup === bembmb is now known as babyrobbe [08:10] of my friend film [08:10] ActionParsnip: would you recommend kubuntu for someone that is not a big fan of gnome? [08:10] babbio: you tell the fcc that, anyway its offtopic here [08:11] babbio: You'll have to do this: cat name.zip name.z[0-9][0-9] >> name.new.zip; unzip name.new.zip [08:11] note to self....turn off virus scanner before making large file transfers! [08:11] dansushi: sure, or fluxbox or lxde can be added if you are a middle level user [08:11] dansushi, do as you please. if you don't like it - throw it away and move on. not a big deal. there are a lot of options for a gui in linux [08:11] thank you grawity....probably also you are offtopic ;) [08:12] dansushi: they dont have the same configs as some guides will mention but are good dEs [08:12] how to replace foo with bar in vi to the complete document? [08:13] iceroot: :%s/foo/bar/g [08:13] iceroot: And use vim. [08:13] grawity: vi is symlinked to vim. [08:13] ActionParsnip: dEs? [08:13] dansushi: desktop environment [08:14] fahadsadah: Still, when it sees "vi" as argv[0], it turns on compat mode. [08:14] fahad@infinity:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/vi [08:14] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2009-08-20 13:03 /usr/bin/vi -> /etc/alternatives/vi [08:14] fahad@infinity:~$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/vi [08:14] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2009-08-20 13:03 /etc/alternatives/vi -> /usr/bin/vim.tiny [08:14] fahadsadah: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:14] Oh. [08:14] grawity: thx [08:14] ActionParsnip: ah, ok [08:16] ActionParsnip: also, do you think i should wait for Karmic Koala to come out before i download an iso to install from? [08:16] dansushi: your call, theres an rc-like karmi iso out afaik [08:16] dansushi: but its out in like 3 days tops [08:17] i installed tor on ubuntu 9.04 and it's not working. I have Vidalia, but when i try to start tor either with Vidalia or via command prompt (psinetic@psinetic-desktop$ tor). it keeps giving me some error saying it can't bind it and that it might already be in use....but it's not working so how is it in use? [08:18] Psibottu: Please !pastebin the output of ps aux? [08:18] ok, thanks for the info [08:18] !pastebin [08:18] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[08:24] gogeta, what's that do? [08:24] Psibottu: same as kill [08:25] testing X-chat [08:25] Psibottu: but like killall firefox [08:25] Psibottu: woud kill firefox [08:26] is there any way to find domain from ip in command line [08:26] alabd: domain's dont have IPs [08:26] hi. i'm looking for a config file that could bring a hci interface up automatically when it's connected to the machine [08:26] alabd: tractrt maybe [08:26] i see that it works out of the box on the new ubuntu release [08:26] tracert [08:26] hmmmm ok. Thanks a ton fahadsadah and gogeta [08:27] alabd: domain controllers do, and the network address that the domain resides on has an addrss [08:27] but here at uni we also have some older machines where this doesn't happen automagically [08:27] so i wonder what's the difference [08:27] hello, in my xorg i have such a row Identifier "nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]". what should be my Driver "" row look like? should i use driver nvidia or nv? [08:27] alabd: the domain is a software construct [08:27] gogeta: in linux its traceroute [08:28] alabd: 'host 1.2.3.4', but it isn't very reliable. [08:28] lol === Psibottu is now known as MasterBob [08:28] thanks [08:28] ActionParsnip: There are DNS domains, NIS domains, and Active Directory domains. [08:28] asfjio: if you have the proprietary driver installed and want to use it, set it to nvidia [08:28] ActionParsnip: I have a feeling alabd is asking about DNS. (If he isn't, who cares) [08:29] asfjio: if you want to use the open driver (installed by default, unlike the proprietary) then set it to nv [08:29] grawity: i'm assuming nothing [08:29] ActionParsnip: but if its not broken they just gotta fix it lol === server-client is now known as kingtiger01-IRCI [08:29] gogeta: they just gotta be more specific ;) [08:30] hey everyone, just testing out IRC-II cli\ [08:30] ActionParsnip: a nivida that old oss drivers probly have 3d acell [08:30] kingtiger01-IRCI: You mean ircII? [08:30] grawity: does it give dns domain only ? [08:30] gogeta: depends if you need 3d accel or not [08:30] mhm pidgin messenger works really fine, also for irc [08:30] awayguy: Just make sure you get the latest Pidgin, 2.6.2 [08:31] ActionParsnip: as in the bot broken fix and normaly end broken [08:31] nog [08:31] lol [08:31] Ideas on why my .svn folder wont show up when mounting folders with afp using netatalk? Could afp/netatalk be hiding them? (It was all working nice last week but I have no idea what I've done to break it) [08:31] yes, but pidgin has had issues in the past sending debug messages to the channel. [08:31] awayguy, pidgin is not the best for irc, I use xchat instead, but pidgin does mxit, fb, AIM, google, yahoo, msn etc. [08:31] awayguy: i use it and have for a long while now (even back when it was gaim), works fine [08:32] knoppies: pidgin ownz irc [08:32] on windows i use mIRC [08:32] ActionParsnip: i heared that using nv i could experience low graphic rendering. the problem is that probably i was using nvidia driver before, but today i've got an error "failed to load NVIDIA kernel module" and i've tried to change it to nv. [08:32] hi, can somebody please tell me how i can force a higher resolution than the max in my system > preferences > display? [08:32] well time to change to xchat XD [08:32] knoppies: empithy fails hard with irc [08:32] asfjio: sounds like you need to reinstall the driver then as you sound like you got a new kernel [08:32] gogeta, I dont use empithy, never heared of it. I use xchat. [08:33] empathy* [08:33] Pidgin and Empathy are IM clients. They weren't designed for IRC. [08:33] knoppies: 9.10 replaced pidgin with it due to having voice chat modes [08:33] anybody? [08:33] what do you need to do to make the command line (is it called shell?) available from other PC's? like via telnet? === MasterBob is now known as Psinetic [08:33] buon giorno [08:33] I use pidgin on irc, works just fine here [08:33] knoppies: it whont even pass irc commands or tab names [08:33] ahsanul: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [08:33] gogeta, I still use pidgin. I agree with grawity. [08:34] ActionParsnip: new kernel? linux kernel or graphic if there is such thing? [08:34] has anyone had any sucess getting martian driver for winmodems to work with hylafax? [08:34] gogeta, that sounds pretty pathetic for IRC support. [08:34] it is [08:34] ActionParsnip: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [08:34] brv [08:34] knoppies: removed it for pidgin pretty quick [08:35] brb* [08:35] asfjio: there is a kernel module for nvidia, it needs creating using dkms each time you get a new kernel. If you use the packages this is done for you, if you use the .run file i'm not sure it completes it. You may want to reinstall it so the new module gets made [08:35] Hi all, I have an external monitor on my laptop with 1600x1200 resolution. It worked just fine before, but now with U 9.10 I can't get resolutions higher 1280x1024. I had this before but I don't remember what was the cause anymore. Ideas? [08:35] ahsanul: ok and what is the output of: lsb_release -c [08:35] ActionParsnip: Codename: jaunty [08:35] ahsanul: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 [08:36] asfjio, definitly if you manually installed nvidia driver you need to reinstall it after kernel updates no alternative :) [08:36] ActionParsnip, thanks [08:36] anyways [08:36] whats the diff between SSH and shell? are they the same thing? [08:36] Im trying to connect to my ubuntu desktop using tightvnc, Ubuntu 9.04 with tightvnc server, and xp with the client. I can connect from ubuntu to xp, but not the other way round, anybody got any ideas? [08:36] has anyone got MARTIAN to work with hylafax? [08:36] <__kayess> What's the difference between the linux-virtual kernel and the -server and -generic ones? [08:37] al_: ssh will give you a shell, but the ssh service is so much more [08:37] i've got an hp switch with a serial port. but i got no serial port on any of my systems. i do have a serial-to-ethernet cable. does anyone know how i can access my hp switch with this, to assign it an IP? is there a package i can install for this? [08:37] knoppies: everything else in 9.10 is awsom they just decided to use a inferer im client in place of pidgin by defult at least i think so [08:37] al_: A "shell" is a program that reads your typed commands and executes them. [08:37] al_: Such as 'bash' (the default). [08:38] hey ActionParsnip. ok [08:38] al_: ssh can provide secure connection to services that dont have them, and allow remote x apps, file transfer using scp [08:38] it's slow playing flash based games on firefox/jaunty [08:38] al_: SSH is both a program and a protocol for secure connection over the internet. [08:38] any ideas? [08:38] al_: on face value, its a terminal [08:38] ok [08:38] open ssh best one for me to get? [08:38] pinoyskull, do you use the gnash flash plugin for ff? [08:39] pinoyskull, its pretty bad, hogs your CPU even when idling. I recommend you uninstall it, and replace it with the adobe one (or an alternative) [08:39] knoppies: all oss flash plugins ae well not as good as the real ting [08:39] knoppies, im using adobe [08:39] al_: its an option. I use it [08:39] pinoyskull, then I have no idea, sorry [08:39] knoppies, thanks [08:39] gnash.... its ok if youre not planning on using it for anything heavy. use Adobe's Proprietary Flash-plugin [08:40] pinoyskull: have you installed video drivers? [08:40] or f your not x86 [08:40] thats abought all you can get [08:40] kingtiger01, gnash had my PC idling at 40-70% [08:40] gogeta: What, you mean no Flash for x64? [08:40] ActionParsnip, no [08:40] grawity: x86 intel amd [08:40] pinoyskull: thats why then, get those installed and it will smooth out your flash a lot [08:41] ActionParsnip , coz_ : if we assume that this is right "nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]" what should i do to reinstall the driver? === Guest72665 is now known as YDdraigGoch [08:41] asfjio: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [08:41] grawity: your still a x86 your just a x86-64bit im talking like powerpc or arm [08:42] ActionParsnip: so I dont telnet in, I SSH in? hmm, ok [08:42] ok, that's why I keep missing it when people talk to me .. my sound notification was off ... [08:42] al_: telnet is unsecured so all text and inputs are sent in clear text [08:42] ActionParsnip, coz_ : thank you for the help. hope i will handle it :) [08:43] sorry guys ... did I miss anything again? [08:43] zetheroo, read up and find out. [08:43] ActionParsnip: yep [08:43] asfjio: try: gksudo jockey-gtk first === bobcat is now known as Guest51677 [08:44] ok, so I know what SSH is, what shell is, whats bash then?? [08:44] !bash [08:44] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [08:44] ActionParsnip: i'm afraind i run the first command :) [08:45] lol [08:45] al_ do you know what a batch file is in windows? [08:45] where can mounted folders on the Desktop (e.g., network drives) be accessed from the filesystem (e.g., from a terminal) instead of nautilus? [08:45] asfjio: thats fine, you'll find jockey just installs the 180 driver for you [08:45] knoppies: the same as a shell-script in linux [08:45] how to check kernel errors? printk(KERN_ERROR etc [08:45] al_ I may be wrong, but from what I understand a bash script is the Linux equivalent of the batch file. [08:45] ActionParsnip: You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.27-15-generic (i686) first. may be i need to run what you told me first? [08:45] iceroot, correct me if Im wrong. [08:46] knoppies: thats a sh script [08:46] knoppies: yes [08:46] gogeta, so then whats a bash file? [08:46] asfjio: its part of the postinst. If you dont see it you may need to add an extra bit to the command [08:46] knoppies: a file with commands [08:47] knoppies: sh stands for shell script you can call it a bash file if you like i guess [08:47] thanks for the clarification. al_ you get that? [08:47] asfjio: if dkms doesnt complete run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-180-modaliases nvidia-glx-180 [08:48] In other words, can GVFS be accessed from a terminal? [08:48] anything can [08:48] JDahl: ~/.gvfs/ [08:49] Hi all, I have an external monitor on my laptop with 1600x1200 resolution. It worked just fine before, but now with U 9.10 I can't get resolutions higher 1280x1024. I had this before but I don't remember what was the cause anymore. Ideas? [08:49] some more advanced user prefer the term vs anything gui [08:49] The higher resolutions are simply not visible in the drop down menu [08:49] grawity, thanks! I have been scrutinizing the entire filesystem for mount points, but it didn't occur to me to look in ~/ [08:49] sebulba, sounds like a driver issue [08:49] and the system is just as powerfull [08:49] sebulba, try get some good drivers for your card. [08:50] knoppies: Well I remember having this before, and I remember it was a configuration issue back then [08:50] I have the notorious intel laptop graphics adapter... [08:50] JDahl: Next time, cat /proc/mounts [08:50] my gma 945 runs great abit 9.10 ut worked well in 9.04 to [08:50] grawity, good idea! [08:51] knoppies: any idea where to look for the drivers? [08:51] sebulba: you aruldy have intel drivers they suck in 9.04 [08:51] I would have a look in the ubuntu forums, because I have no idea where. [08:51] gogeta: ? [08:52] sebulba, but you can look in system -> admin -> hardware drivers [08:52] sebulba, see if they come up there. [08:52] 9.04 has crappy intel driver slow as hell [08:52] knoppies: alright, thanks [08:52] if thats yor issue [08:53] fixed in 9.10 out soon [08:53] me needs 9.10 now :( [08:53] gogeta: well I don't mind the speed, the problem is that my external display could use resolution 1600x1200 back in 9.04, but now in 9.10 1280x1024 is the highest available option [08:53] can get beta if you like [08:54] bahhh i want final :P [08:54] i thnk this week [08:54] for final [08:54] if I have a fx5500gt where should I be looking for the best drivers? [08:54] 29th [08:54] yep [08:55] Support for 9.10 is still in #ubuntu+1 though, until the final is out [08:55] in grub, can I set it to default to a windows install? [08:55] or set it to wait indefinitly for user selection [08:55] knoppies: Just edit menu.lst as you wish. [08:56] thanks grawity. [08:57] knoppies: /boot/grub/menu.lst, that is. [08:57] Im sure I would have found it, but thanks. [08:57] how do I check which graphics adapter I have in my laptop?

Has anyone else problem with the current upgrade?I did an aptitude update; aptitude safe-upgrade and it fails to download tzdata_2009n-0ubuntu0.9.04.1_all.deb with a 404 not found. [09:12] is this because i'm using a mirror, and the mirror might not be up to date? [09:12] in nautilus when i drag a color to a folder from the 'backgrounds and emblems' dialog, the color doesn't apply and it just bounces back to the dialog. any idea why? [09:12] Elirips: possible [09:13] Elirips: many mirrors i find are just pathetic [09:13] Elirips: use some university mirrors, main canonical mirrors [09:13] indus: i'm using ch.archive.ubuntu.com till now i didnt have any problems [09:13] indus: i'll check again in a few hours [09:14] Elirips: ya mirrors take upto 2 days to sync sometimes [09:14] indus, sad to say no sound [09:14] shao: open volume properties and try [09:14] also metacity dose not load [09:15] shao: no sound in firefox or no sound in nothing [09:15] in nada [09:15] "nothing" [09:15] shao: dont expect spoon feeding here :) , open volume properties and see [09:16] any‌thing muted , low slider levels etc [09:16] hello, i spoke with womeone from the channel, but he is not here now. can someone help me, because my problem still exists. the problem is that i can't use nvidia driver in my xorg.conf, because if i write nvidia my resolution is getting very bad. i was adviced to do "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180", but i've got an error "You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.27-15-generic (i686) first.". what can i do? [09:16] thats what im doing [09:16] i also do "sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-180-modaliases nvidia-glx-180", but still no effect. [09:17] asfjio: hmm [09:17] asfjio: what iss the exact problem [09:17] why input/output error is coming.. it didnt use to come earlier.. i have installed from the same cd. [09:17] i love linux [09:18] asfjio: i think you are missing the restricted kernel headers [09:18] indus: using nv as video driver in xorg.conf is okay, but my video render a bit slow. using nvidia it says "failed to load the nvidia kernel module" when starting. [09:18] asfjio: what card is this model [09:18] indus: wait [09:18] why input/output error is coming.. it didnt use to come earlier.. i have installed from the same cd. [09:19] sun` cd scratched maybe, or check cables inside system [09:19] sun`, try re-seating your drive plugs. [09:19] indus: i have this in my xorg and i think it should be right Identifier "nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]". [09:19] asfjio: can i see output of uname -a [09:19] hi [09:20] indus: sure "Linux krb2 2.6.27-15-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 20 06:52:09 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux" [09:20] i can't find if gfire 0.8.3 works with pidgin 2.5.2 [09:20] asfjio: hmm krb2 what kernel is this [09:20] indus: this is the name of my computer :) [09:20] asfjio: hehe ya ok gotcha [09:20] knoppies will it work? [09:21] indus: hah and i answer doh. [09:21] asfjio: ok can you open synaptic and search for.... mmmm wait [09:21] indus, cant find the issue regarding sound [09:21] shao: which version of ubuntu [09:22] asfjio: linux-restricted-modules 26 27 -15 is installed?

[09:26] indus: there is available 2.6.27-15.21. [09:26] asfjio: you need the version corresponding to your kernel version [09:26] asfjio: yeah that one i guess [09:27] how do install ubuntu on windows os 7 [09:27] indus: is it possible when i do this update my pc not start normally? i'm afraid of those kernel updates. [09:27] everytime i do it ...it stuffs up [09:27] Bruc stuffs up? [09:28] asfjio: well, you always have the older kernel versions to boot into [09:28] asfjio: ok i have a question, did u install nvidia drivers before ? from the site? [09:28] it borked my drive [09:28] indus: question: is that updating my kernel or it is just some helper script as it says? [09:28] Bruc: borked? [09:29] asfjio: it installs restricted modules which handle nvidia or similar drivers [09:29] yeah it only allocates only 200 meg of files [09:29] of space i mean [09:29] ive got one terabytes .. [09:29] Bruc, try the manual partitioning option? [09:30] indus: so this is only assosiated with graphic update? and if something goes wrong i can boot, but just with no GUI? [09:30] hmm iam to worried it might happend again. [09:30] asfjio: just install it [09:30] bruc during automatic partition, move the slider to specify how much space you want [09:31] slider what slider??? [09:32] ok iam going to do it..only if u advise me Indus [09:32] indus: understood. upgrading... :) its annoying when i start asking questions. sorry about it. [09:32] iam going on live cd. [09:32] asfjio: i like people who annoy me [09:32] bruc ill help, and so will others [09:32] indus: okay it is not installed. should i try now "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180" ? [09:32] asfjio: yeah [09:33] asfjio: no first reboot [09:33] i have a bunch of .avi files i want to convert to mpeg so i can burn them to a dvd and watch them on a dvd player. what would the workflow be in ubuntu to do so? I have tried using devede but it seems to only be able to put four ~175Mb files onto one dvd.is there a better option? [09:33] ok cool let me boot of the live cd... [09:34] indus: rebooting.. [09:34] bigmack83_: devede should allow more than 4 video files [09:35] Billiard, yea thats what i thought. the only thing i can think of is that its trying to put all the extra files on to the dvd/iso as well. [09:36] would it be easier or better to use ffmpeg to convert them all to mpeg first then just use dvdauthor or similar to burn them to dvd with menu to select the episode? [09:36] hello, is there any way to install gwibber on hardy heron????? [09:37] !info > gwibber [09:37] wants you to know: Retrieve information on a package: !info [09:37] !info gwibber [09:37] gwibber (source: gwibber): Open source microblogging client for GNOME.

[09:41] Hey, anyone know where to set the option where new windows on the gnome desktop are opened / positioned?

[09:41] indus: u here? [09:41] asfjio: yes [09:42] asfjio: i thought your PC exploded [09:43] indus: i did "sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-glx-180" and then "/etc/init.d/gdm restart" it says you need to update your configuration. new line. no device detected. running on low-graphic mode. [09:44] asfjio: always restart after installing display drivers [09:44] indus: may be i'm cursed :( [09:44] asfjio: i think you are installing wrong drivers [09:44] asfjio: wait 1 min [09:44] asfjio: gx 5200? [09:45] indus: GeForce FX 5200. [09:45] dear indus , tell me about cron [09:46] Billiard, ok each avi i have is 170mb and selecting one in devede takes nearly 25% of the disk space on a dvd. so how am i supposed to fit more than 4 avi's onto the iso to burn it [09:46] asfjio: did you install nvidia glx 180? [09:46] any body know cron [09:46] maybe its an option im not seeing then that needs to be changed? [09:46] indus: yes, then restart gdm, but no reboot the pc itself. [09:46] asfjio: you need to install nvidia-glx-legacy [09:47] asfjio: your card is not supported by the 180 drivers [09:47] asfjio: install the older ones [09:47] bigmack83_: the bitrate settings maybe [09:47] asfjio: sorry wait [09:47] asfjio: install nvidia-glx-173 somethinh [09:48] asfjio: then reboot [09:48] indus: now i need to remove nvidia-glx-180? apt-get remove nvidia-glx-180 is that? [09:48] Hey, anyone know where to set the option where new windows on the gnome desktop are opened / positioned? [09:48] asfjio: it will be automatically removed [09:48] asfjio: no wonder the card was not found [09:48] asfjio: the 173 driver is what u need [09:48] Billiard, well even then it shouldnt go from 170 mb to nearly over 1gb for one avi file. [09:49] cron cron cron [09:49] indus: done, now going to reboot. hope it wont explode :) [09:49] Billiard, heh, well it seems that the default bit rate is 5001 kbps [09:49] !cron | jitender [09:49] any body know about cron [09:49] jitender: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [09:53] asfjio: hello [09:53] hello [09:53] Ah found it, there is a "place windows" plugin in the compizconfig settings manager [09:54] indus: hello, i'm definately cursed. now i've got the same error as the beginning "failed to load Nvidia kernel module" " screens found, but none have a usable configuration" [09:54] asfjio: ya thats ok [09:54] asfjio: go to system>administration > hardware drivers [09:54] indus: i'm there [09:54] asfjio: what do u see [09:56] indus: "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173) [Recommended]" and button activate and close. another notice "this driver is not activated". [09:56] asfjio: excellent, click on activate [09:57] asfjio: it it says restart system , you are in luck [09:58] indus: it done some things and now i'm again on that window. nothing changed and not asking for reboot. [09:58] asfjio: what did it do [09:58] asfjio: just press ATL-SYsrq- K [09:58] indus: activate and then asked to autheniticate as user that have root access. [09:59] asfjio: ok [09:59] asfjio: did it start downloading? [09:59] indus: in the dialog it was "downloading and installing driver" if i'm not mistaken [09:59] asfjio: yes [10:00] asfjio: then what happened [10:00] indus: and bring me back to the same window. and still says this driver is not activated. [10:00] asfjio: ok do one thing, remove that kernel we installed [10:00] asfjio: remember >? restricted something [10:01] asfjio: we start from beginning, but you must have realised,you were installing wrong driver [10:01] asfjio: now atleast we have the correct driver version [10:01] asfjio: so go to synaptic, and install the 173 driver [10:01] then reastart [10:02] also dont forget to remove that kernel we installed, i dont think its needed anyway [10:02] in aan ssh session I get following error "(users-admin:18738): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10.0" suggestions ? [10:03] use X11 Forwarding [10:03] hipitihop: ssh -X to enable X forward [10:03] indus: when i search for nvidia-glx-173 i've got "nvidia-173-kernel-source which says installed" and "nvidia-173-modaliases which is upgradable" [10:04] hipitihop: eg, ssh -X user@host [10:04] asfjio: yes do it [10:04] Hmm, why is there only a i386 package of assaultcube in debian? [10:04] indus: upgrade the modaliases package?

[10:05] Hi #ubuntu, can someone help me with a package issue? I accidently manulay deleted some files in my ruby installation... I apt-get purged ruby and reinstalled it, which doesn't seem to lead to a clean new installation though [10:05] asfjio: scroll down there is also a driver nvidia-glx-173 [10:05] asfjio: just open a terminal and do sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173 [10:05] whoops, wrong channel :P [10:05] indus: it was installed too. i forgot to tell about it [10:05] anyone? [10:05] asfjio: installed hmm , [10:06] i don't wanna do pon dsl-provider all the time [10:06] asfjio: have you upgraded your system? [10:06] indus: no, but you told me to install 173 instead of 180. [10:06] asfjio: ya thats true [10:07] indus: i think its normal that now it is installed. ? [10:07] asfjio: yeah [10:07] asfjio: please upgrade the sytem first [10:07] indus: okay the modaliases is upgraded. [10:07] asfjio: it happens that some kernel modules have not arrived , so driver wont activate [10:08] indus: what do you mean? what should i do? === abuazzam is now known as ordinarydot [10:08] asfjio: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [10:09] asfjio: ill brbrafter a deadly cigarette [10:09] asfjio: dont forget to reboot [10:10] indus: then try to install again 173? sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173? and then reboot? [10:10] asfjio: no its already installed [10:10] indus: okay. [10:10] asfjio: upgrade whole system first before proceeding further [10:11] I got me the upgrade manager notification icon back, and now my question is: WTF!? Why was it disabled by default? [10:12] hello. I have upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 to help test, but software from official sources (skype 2.1 beta and virtualbox) have strange fonts. How do I fix this? [10:12] arj, #ubuntu+1 for 9.10 questions [10:12] thanks [10:12] ok :) [10:13] there is a kernel upgrade available. Should i install it or should i wait for Karmic? I mean, just 3 days left. [10:14] hello all [10:14] Hi, AxaXin. [10:14] i have a question concerning ATI drivers [10:14] theadmin, install it, your system will update itself before you upgrade anyway [10:14] should i shout it here or is there other way of doing things [10:15] Madpilot: I'll better wait then, i heard it causes bugs on jaunty. [10:15] Well, aXaXin, say here, if noone helps ask the forums [10:15] already been there lol :P [10:15] but here it goes [10:15] :D [10:16] it's about the fglrx drivers in 9.04 and above [10:16] i'm stuck in 8.10 just beacause of that... === nand_ is now known as nand [10:16] my ATI is a X700 [10:17] In a Toshiba [10:17] (what is the command to show the details of the chipset?) [10:18] hmnh. I'll look trough yesterdays logs [10:18] Hi. Could someone please tell me which Ubunutu download I need to run it on the PS3? [10:19] theadmin: .. any ideas? [10:19] or anyone else? [10:19] lol [10:19] Wait, i'll... find it now. Wait a bit [10:19] Can I just use the desktop edition? [10:20] Adamanta: Probably not. Dunno. [10:20] Info it pretty thin on the ground considering it's a popular thing to do. [10:20] http://psubuntu.com/wiki/InstallUbuntu [10:21] Adamanta: that site shows everything about ps3 and ubuntu :) [10:23] I can't seem to get v9 for ps3 though [10:23] Nothing in these folders: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/ [10:24] #join #c++ [10:24] Adamanta: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/daily/current/ [10:25] you have karmic for ps3 [10:25] ax-ax: Thanks [10:25] ppl... c'mon... fglrx in 9,10 [10:26] or 9.04.... [10:27] i've searched but it seams like ATI or ubuntu just fogot the older chipsets.... [10:28] i have a general problem, i don't understand why but my audio doesn't work anymore, i tryed to fix the problem installing a new version of alsa and pulseaudio, but it doesn't want work...any advice? [10:28] xorg-driver-fglrx - looks like one you need, aXaXin [10:28] #claroline [10:28] theadmin: what's the command to see what driver i have installed? [10:29] aXaXin: Not sure, actually, but just see if that package is installed. [10:29] how can I install a deb package (of a testing version) with the same name as a package I already have installed, without replacing the old one? [10:30] If I'm building a gateway with multiple ISP connections, can I use iptables to prefer one route over another, only using the second route if the first one has failed? [10:30] Creap_: Not possible, i'd assume. [10:30] Creap_, you can't [10:30] ok [10:30] :\ [10:31] Ubuntu does not allow to install multiple versions of the same package [10:31] Creap_: testing version probably have higher number [10:31] theadmin: yes it's installed the problem is, is that driver available in 9.04 or 9.10? [10:31] Creap_: Just stick to the stable version. [10:31] aXaXin: I see it in Synaptic, so yes it is. I have 9.04 [10:32] ok [10:32] I need both though. [10:32] i'm concerned beacause when i start the update to 9.04 it's says that it no longer supports the fglrx driver that i currently have installed [10:33] aXaXin: Huh. Maybe it's not the one then. [10:34] aXaXin, 9.04 and onward have much improved Free drivers for a lot of ATI vidcards. You could well not NEED fglrx anymore [10:34] I have xubuntu 9.04 and i don't listen audio anymore...and i don't understand why. Any advice to find the problem? [10:34] mine is the x700 [10:35] is a x700 in a toshiba laptop... [10:35] M70 to be precise [10:36] aXaXin: Quick googling seems to give positive results. You will probably need to enable some commercial drivers though (System -> Admininstration -> Hardware Drivers_ [10:37] Is there something like rainmeter or rainleder for ubuntu/ i would like time/weather displayed [10:37] Hello all. [10:37] hi everyone [10:38] hi [10:38] I am just installing ubuntu server for the first time [10:38] !hi | candykorn rblst psypher12 [10:38] candykorn rblst psypher12: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[10:38] I decided to resize one of my partitions. Am I gonna lose all the data on that disk? [10:38] aafuentes: the logfile is the file which changed, so its normal [10:39] You should use tortoise svn lol [10:39] Is there something like rainmeter or rainleder for ubuntu/ i would like time/weather displayed [10:39] psypher12: normally now but make a backup!!! [10:39] ? [10:39] i've done an update in my jaunty, and now there are network problems: my wifi connection is not shown, and if i plug in a wire, nothing happens, i need to manually get an ip [10:39] psypher12: No, not likely. You will lose data from a deleted partition though. [10:39] ok [10:39] Gotcha [10:39] iceroot, so the svn-commit.tmp is normal? [10:39] aafuentes: yes [10:39] Thanks. I am really excited to use this server edition [10:39] thanks iceroot :) [10:39] aafuentes: containing the commit-message and so on [10:40] psypher12: You're welcome.

[10:41] I believe i just need to edit the networking in init.d for my network adapter to be static [10:41] psypher12: what??? [10:41] (10:36:44) theadmin: aXaXin: Quick googling seems to give positive results. You will probably need to enable some commercial drivers though (System -> Admininstration -> Hardware Drivers_ [10:41] psypher12: /etc/network/interfaces [10:41] well... what keywords have you used? [10:41] I mean, the tcp ip properties yes, thats it [10:42] aXaXin "ATI X700 Ubuntu 9.04 driver" [10:42] Lol this will take a long time. its only on 8 percent [10:43] psypher12: this is the support-channel not a normal chat-channel, so please use this channel for support related questions [10:44] brb... need to get some brewage [10:45] i've done an update in my jaunty, and now there are network problems: my wifi connection is not shown, and if i plug in a wire, nothing happens, i need to manually get an ip in terminal [10:45] hi guys i want to know is there some good tools to though GFW? [10:45] theadmin: pronz infected mah ubuntuz [10:45] tor is too slowly [10:45] thanks [10:46] candykorn: Ehm... What does it have to do with me? [10:47] just wanted to know what's a good anti-virus for ubuntu? [10:47] and was kidding on the std [10:48] candykorn: You don't NEED one, Linux is safe by itself. However, you can install Avast, it will get you rid of Window$ viruses, if you're worried about infecting other comps [10:48] Hi, I accidently deleted some ruby-files: /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/ and /usr/lib/ruby/, a fresh install doesn't seem to bring them back... can anyone help me on that issue? [10:49] Nearsight: /usr/local is stuff you installed yourself without the help of the package manager [10:49] jrib: ok. that probanly came with rubygems then... what about /usr/lib? [10:50] Nearsight: purge the package responsible for the file and then install it (use packages.ubuntu.com to know what package) [10:50] !virus > candykorn [10:50] candykorn, please see my private message [10:50] anyone had success running mumps [10:50] ? [10:51] jrib: I purged and reinstalled ruby and any related package so often, I alrady forgot how many times... but I'll have a look at packages.ubuntu.com, to be sure [10:51] how can i find out what vlan tag is being broadcast from a vertain mac or ip? [10:51] theadmin: well [10:51] i'll go for the update [10:52] Nearsight: you are probably not purging the proper package [10:52] and 3 days from now the new update to 9.10 lol crazy i know [10:52] aXaXin: Maybe it'd be a better idea to wait? [10:53] i can't wait [10:53] jrib: I think so, but it's hard to lacte the right one... [10:53] I think i fucked up my liveusb :( [10:54] what if i installed the beta [10:54] Can anyone help me figure out what i did? [10:54] Nearsight: that's where packages.ubuntu.com comes in (you can search for the package that owns a file) [10:54] does it update to the latest version then? [10:55] aXaXin: Yep, it will. But it won't let you install the beta unless you use -d flag [10:56] !rainmeter > candykorn [10:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about rainmeter [10:56] how? [10:56] show me [10:56] the command?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:58] who use ubuntu 9.04 [10:58] My liveusb is broken. [10:58] Instead of loading gnome and all the shiny it only opens a terminal :\ [11:00] psychuil: any error msg? something you did that could've coused it ? === rml_ is now known as rml [11:00] Haven't noticed any error, just the stuff it always gives out when you open terminal. [11:00] And all i've done is to install xchat there, and try to install monodev and flash. [11:02] psychuil: can you look into /var/log/Xorg.0.log or/and ~/.xsession-errors ? [11:02] I'm on windows now. [11:02] Where would it be if i'm looking at the flash drive? [11:03] psychuil: if you can mount the flash drive in windows or from a livecd is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /home/youruser/.xsession-errors [11:04] There's no var or home dir there.. === carlos is now known as Guest93419 [11:04] http://pastebin.com/dbef644b [11:05] psychuil: you will have to boot into the broken system...

[11:06] Cya\ [11:06] :| [11:06] jrib: Ok, as far as i can see, now its working... cross thunbs [11:06] since the latest kernel-update for hardy audio routiing is fucked up here on my soundblaster live soundcard [11:06] any1 having experienced the same problem? [11:07] ohhh I'm also having soundcard problems, in the sense that I don't hear a goddamn thing :P [11:07] !language [11:07] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [11:07] also an SB card, X-Fi [11:07] sry been having partition/install/craziness drama all day already :( [11:09] yer well, problem is, that everything worked fine for almost 1,5 years now [11:09] the ubuntu FAQ didn't have much of anything useful on configuring it there are 3 options I've played with the controls for all 3 HDA Intel HDA HDMI and Realtek .. still no sound from Net video or a vlc DVD [11:09] last weekend they shipped a kernel/module update and now sound routing is fucked up [11:09] no 4.1 here so far [11:09] O_o [11:10] !language > r0bert [11:10] r0bert, please see my private message [11:11] yer sorry, i am no from the united fucking states of america, so i am neither offended by porn nor by saying shit & fuck [11:11] wow [11:11] that was intersting [11:11] yup [11:11] r0bert, YOU aren't but some of us might be, you know... Oh, he left. [11:11] i'm from th usa and he doesn't represent us all [11:12] candykorn: noone said he did [11:12] so uh any idea what to do to get more info about no sound in ubuntu? [11:12] damn i took all my clothes off for nothing now [11:12] !help | Elias_ [11:12] Elias_: 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. :-) [11:13] pat [11:14] I don't hear sound at all on this atm (had a working windows box not too long ago earlier today, the SB-XFi driver is listed atm)..the ubuntu FAQ didn't have much of anything useful on configuring it there are 3 options I've played with the controls for all 3 HDA Intel HDA HDMI and Realtek .. still no sound from Net video or a vlc DVD [11:14] Elias_:...Most likely codecs. Type this into terminal: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" [11:16] theadmin: so how can i get ubuntu to display the weather for my area and maybe the moon cycles? [11:16] I mean, DVD and net videos most likely have an MP3 sound, and mp3 codecs are in restricted group. [11:16] TY *theadmin* I am downloading now and will let you guys know what's up with it once I reboot and mess around :) [11:16] Elias_: SD X-Fi has no driver in jaunty afaik [11:16] Big Problem. I have a root partition, a boot one (500 mb) and a ntfs (winxp). the thing is, i can't get to grub. If i boot from the hdd, i get DISK BOOT FAILURE. the boot partition has grub installed, all entries good and is flagged bootable [11:16] SB* [11:16] theadmin: thanks... :) i'll be back :) [11:17] candykorn, for weather, use the gweather applets. Right click your panel, choose Add To Panel, look for weather [11:17] then right-click on the new applet to pick your city and configure it [11:17] erUSUL: Elias_ correct, no drivers for jaunty(not 32bit, only 64bit) but for karmic [11:17] GRUBV1: reinstall grub from a livecd ? [11:17] i tried that [11:17] what about the moon cycle? [11:17] erUSUL: i tried that. nothing [11:18] erUSUL: strangely, when I go into system/device manager (something I installed from the add programs thingy) under pci bridge it says audio controller, SB X-Fi [11:18] Elias_: Activate that. [11:18] can ubuntu support 1920*1080 res on an ATI onboard card? [11:18] candykorn, search synaptic for 'moon' there is a moon-phases applet [11:18] Elias_: well linux can see the chip in the pci bus and can ask its name but that does not mean it has a driver for it [11:19] El-Duderino: i do not see why not [11:19] candykorn, ah, it's Gnome Lunar Clock. Install it thru synaptic, then it'll show in the Add To Panel menu [11:19] oh damn, ok, so what can I do about this? I don't mind reading and being lead somewhere to solve my own problem, btw === DaZ is now known as TempyNick [11:20] erUSUL: it was losta trouble with nvidia drivers [11:20] hi~ can anyone tell me a faster way to copy large files on the same physical disk? [11:21] Elias_: you can install a newer version of alsa at your own risk in the alsa site says X-Fi --> Supported on 1.0.21 EAX and Advanced sound options like crystalizer not available [11:21] I dont listen the terminal bell. How can I turn it on? [11:21] bamball: rsync is pretty fast [11:21] thanks Madpilot [11:21] saulus: on the preferences of the terminal [11:21] erUSUL: does it buffer? [11:21] erUSUL: There it is turned on, but I dont listen it anyways [11:23] saulus: turn it off then [11:23] i have downloaded the eclipse IDE for java EE developers.....i have installed the sun-java6-jre..will that be enough [11:23] saulus: sorry brainfart... i was confsed. the problem is that you can not here it ? [11:23] PerryArmstrong: well for eclipse you need the jdk ; don't you ? [11:24] erUSUL: It doesnt change: I cant hear the bell [11:24] erUSUL; so sun-java7-jdk?? [11:24] PerryArmstrong: Indeed, you should install the jdk as it also includes the documentation for java [11:24] PerryArmstrong: there is not java7 [11:24] PerryArmstrong: yep; karmic support in #ubuntu+1 [11:25] With ntp I get: "no servers can be used, exiting". I configured at least 6 servers. Is it possible that a proxy is blocking it? [11:25] iceroot: maybe in karmic ?? [11:25] pozic: or the connection is to unreliable to any of them [11:25] erUSUL: of course not [11:25] erUSUL; why Karmic support? [11:25] too* [11:25] erUSUL: http://java.sun.com/ [11:25] iceroot; ther wasn't any java7 [11:25] pozic: you can test the servers with the tool ntpdc [11:25] iceroot: ok; i stand corrected [11:26] Arabus; should the classpath be always set as in windows [11:26] Arabus: how? I have the tool. [11:26] is there some free SSH id? [11:26] thanks [11:26] PerryArmstrong: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [11:26] Hello , does it possible to use "grep" command in order to search string inside files recursive ? (to search in all folders & files ) ? [11:26] viki26: grep -R [11:26] PerryArmstrong: Yes you have to set the java path [11:26] viki26: grep -R string folder/ [11:27] PerryArmstrong: also you have to configure the system to use sun's java and no the default gcj iirc [11:27] pozic: try ntpdc you should then get the ntpdc promp there you can type peers for example, if it works, your connection to that server is ok [11:27] i've got karmic & jaunty on same hdd, whats the best (easiest) way to repartition to keep just one? [11:27] !javaalternatives [11:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:27] fuck [11:27] PerryArmstrong: sudo update-alternatives --config java [11:27] no real luck in finding the weather applet [11:28] candykorn: please; language [11:28] sorry [11:28] PerryArmstrong: normally upon installation the classpath should be set automagically by apt if not you can set it with export CLASSPATH=$CLAPPSPATH; [11:28] so then sudo update-alternatives --config java will resolve of the gcj from interfering.... [11:28] PerryArmstrong: yep [11:29] Arabus; whats this your/path/here.... [11:29] so when 9.10 comes out how will i update my 9.04 install to it? [11:29] PerryArmstrong: the path to the jdk [11:29] should i reinstall? [11:29] clepto: update manager will ask you if you want to upgrade [11:29] ah ok [11:29] Arabus; ohhh where will it be installed....okk before i do that i'll check if the classpath is automatically set or not?? [11:30] PerryArmstrong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classpath_(Java) [11:30] clepto: ask #ubuntu+1 for more details though, because I don't think you'll get grub2 that way [11:30] PerryArmstrong: sorry, got confused [11:31] yeah... i did the default install of ubuntu so it did a single partition i think plus i have vista installed on this machine [11:31] Arabus; i know what the classpath is....but in windows we usually set it to bin and libs folder...in linux i usually find it confusing with the filesystem [11:31] maybe too generic a question, but after a Ubuntu install and then a later Xubuntu install (think the Ubuntu install was corrupted), my NTFS WinXP64 partitiion won't load shows Disk Read Error but the directory structure is all solid there. Xubuntu also wasn't loading but finally got it to work after a few hours .. already tried FDISK and the partition manager from the boot cd for Ubuntu showed the right values for C:\'s size .. do I need to t [11:31] ransfer the data from both partitions to another drive and reformat/repartition or do I have other options? I'm here after OS reinstall #5 [11:32] I'm having trouble with e-zipupdate - I find the documentation incomprehensible, and it's not working properly. It seems to be telling the world that my domain name links to 192.168.etc.etc [11:32] PerryArmstrong: well if you store your programs in \home\username\workspace for example you should add that path to the classpath [11:32] PerryArmstrong: eclipse will set that normally when you choose a workspace though [11:34] who have ssh id? [11:34] zhoujingrui: what? [11:34] ssh [11:34] zhoujingrui: i know ssh [11:35] zhoujingrui: and you want what? [11:35] zhoujingrui: try typing a more verbose question. [11:35] is there some free? [11:35] to go though GFW [11:36] <_CommandeR_> Hi, I need help with memtest86+ 4.0 When booting my computer just read the disk and stops booting [11:36] Hi, ALL. I`ve meet problem with Display brightness.. It goes dim on idle even if i disabled it with gconf.

[11:39] psypher12: use computer-janitor [11:39] psypher12: it is super [11:39] ok! [11:39] Thanks (: [11:39] ive had compute-janitor be a little TOO enthusastic in cleaning [11:39] psypher12: but be careful what you select for removal, it will remove entire kernels [11:39] ? [11:39] lol ok! [11:40] yo yo yo [11:40] zhoujingrui: what? [11:40] ActionParsnip: hi [11:40] For some reason Computer-Janitor says that my 'vim-full' is unused.. when i use it all the time... [11:40] ssh [11:40] ActionParsnip: good day and welcome [11:40] Can I use konquer somehow? [11:40] Dr_Willis: do you use gvim? [11:40] yep [11:40] super pene [11:40] me mide muchisimo [11:41] olle [11:41] indus: thanks :) [11:41] olle [11:41] usuario, English here, please [11:41] Flannel: i use them all.. but it seems its became a transitional package now on 9.10 :) that must be why [11:41] I have a very long penis [11:41] Flannel: at least its not trying to remove the kernel im using.. [11:42] df -h [11:43] is that a good way to check disk usage? [11:43] psypher12: thats what i tend to use. [11:43] who can give me one for free thanks [11:43] i want to go though GFW [11:43] does anyone here use e.z.ipupdate? [11:43] zhoujingrui: perhaps ya need to rephrase the question..

[11:50] psypher12: you can also save space by removeing openoffice (500M) then installing Abiword (10Mb0 and gnumeric (12Mb) [11:51] Good point.

[12:40] eggy_: if its being ran with no profile, its making a fresh one [12:40] ActionParsnip Should I simply navigate to the folders listed in the script and delete their contents? [12:40] salut [12:40] ActionParsnip: yes I know, but it's still blocking [12:40] RobLikesBrunch: sudo rm if you read the guide you will see what needs deleteing as you used the last 10 lines or so to add a tonne of symlinks [12:40] hi [12:41] ActionParsnip: shouldn't take /that/ long [12:41] RobLikesBrunch: pretty much, this is a massively overly complex mess of a guide [12:41] eggy_: well, firefox is garbage [12:41] ActionParsnip: I agree, but all programs using xulrunner seem to be failing [12:41] eggy_: could try killing it off and rerunning it [12:41] And chrome doesn't work, songbird doesn't work. THis is getting on my nervers [12:42] eggy_: then uninstall xulrunner [12:42] Okay, just to get this straight.

[12:43] ActionParsnip: if I want to uninstall it all dependencies will be gone :( [12:43] eggy_: why not try: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox* xulrunner*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 [12:44] ActionParsnip: ok [12:44] ActionParsnip Is there anyway I can just delete all of it at once...even if I have to delete FireFox? [12:44] anyone got any ideas?

[12:45] Ali_: could adjust your hard or soft limits [12:45] RobLikesBrunch: i wouldnt do them all at once, i'd keep tabs on whats going on [12:45] Ali_: or, you could not use crappy pulseaudio. It manages to not produce any sound at all for me. Just use alsa [12:45] monouser, nope === BeardedAdmin is now known as BeardedAdmin_Awa === BeardedAdmin_Awa is now known as BeardedAdmin [12:46] RobLikesBrunch: you will also have to remove any flash packages you have installed as they will cause issues [12:46] but i thought pulseaudio is the proper way of doing things [12:46] Unfortunately, they were so retarded as to decide that gnome depends on pulseaudio [12:46] mickster04: Wow! [12:46] hi everyone [12:46] ActionParsnip This is my second day using Ubuntu, so uninstalling all this stuff from a script I don't understand at all is somewhat intimidating. [12:46] cos before pulseaudio, everything used to fight for sound :) [12:46] Ali_: well, if it works it's ok. But if it doesn't, you're screwed [12:46] RobLikesBrunch, haha [12:46] ActionParsnip is there any sort of uninstall guide for scripts? [12:46] RobLikesBrunch, be patient though dude - it IS actually worth it [12:47] ActionParsnip : any help ? please ? [12:47] RobLikesBrunch, albeit scary at first [12:47] Ali_ I sure hope so. [12:47] I can't restore grub2. Can someone help? [12:47] Ali_ But I don't even know where to begin with this. [12:47] RobLikesBrunch, wait till u run compiz and the cube and loads of other effects [12:47] Ali_ I ran this script: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit.html#comment-150888 and now need to uninstall ALL of it.

[12:57] moomeg: could try: apt-cache search backport [12:57] indus: I tried reinstalling some libraries, also puring them and installing again, but stuff keeps segfaulting [12:57] asfjio: bye and have a nice day :) [12:57] moomeg: see if any jump out at you [12:57] indus: i think so. it looks like everything is working correctly.

[12:58] eggy_: xulrunner hmm which version are you on' [12:58] indus: I didn't even do an update (though maybe a cronjob did) [12:59] eggy_: so is this 9.04? [12:59] indus: jaunty, now upgrading to karmic by changing sources.list and doing dist-upgrade [12:59] indus: yep [12:59] eggy_: ok sorry but thats reallybad idea [12:59] indus: it is? [12:59] indus: why? [12:59] eggy_: aah ok all lines in sources [12:59] yes it is.. :) [12:59] eggy_: ok its fine [12:59] !upgrade [12:59] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [12:59] am I having a blonde day??? http://paste.ubuntu.com/302028/ [13:00] indus: ok great, it's all I know to do to fix it [13:00] eggy_: but i suggest just sudo update-manager -d is a good idea [13:00] indus: ok, I'll do that after the update is finishes [13:00] eggy_, please check the upgrade factoid above [13:00] eggy_: will check for many other things i believe, old packages etc [13:00] finished* [13:00] indus: ok, great [13:01] indus: I should run that after dist-upgrade right? [13:01] eggy_: but i suggest you revert to jaunty and then do the command [13:01] indus: it just upgraded glibc, is that a good idea to revert now? [13:01] eggy_: ok once started ,dont look back:) [13:02] indus: yeah, thought so :) [13:02] Hey, I'm trying vboxheadless with virtualbox, but it stays waiting state, doesn't indicate listening port [13:02] any ubuntu users here play quake4?

[13:04] hello Guest80199 and zey [13:04] hi,everybody [13:04] hello. i have a question about instal ubuntu onto an external usb drive. i use a notebook, so i cant disable the sata controller. when i installed ubuntu on the external drive, grub was installed on the main hard disk. is there a way, other than unplugging the main hard disk, to install ubuntu without it touching the main hard disk? [13:04] aafuentes: did you check synaptic for the package [13:04] How can i install A vpn Proxy on BT4>? [13:04] Can someone walk me through the uninstallation of a script? [13:04] indus: so should I still run the update-manager thing after the dist-upgrade? Or are they mutually exclusive? [13:04] neohelix: yes during install time , it asks where you want to install grub [13:04] RobLikesBrunch: what sort of script? [13:05] eggy_: well, sure [13:05] aafuentes apt-cache search berkeley [13:05] indus: okido [13:05] eggy_: its a long boring journey [13:05] may i ask something about wireless [13:05] izzi: The kind that idiots like myself use to install flash for x64. [13:05] on my laptop [13:05] guys, good afternoon [13:05] izzi: Specifically, this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit.html#comment-150888 [13:05] indus: oh, seems i didnt see it. is it in some advanced options? [13:05] !ask | zey [13:05] zey: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [13:05] RobLikesBrunch: sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree [13:06] indus: the summary of the installer said, it would only touch the partition table of the external drive, yet it changed the main disk too... [13:06] neohelix: yeah advanced during last step of install [13:06] how to turn wireless on and off on laptop [13:06] izzi: "sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree" [13:06] izzi: sorry [13:06] neohelix: what did it change [13:06] Perhaps someone can help me out here. I tried upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 and now i have some mounting problems [13:06] indus: alright, i will try that. thank you [13:06] the button is not working [13:06] izzi: "E: Couldn't find package flash-nonfree [13:06] " [13:06] zey: with the wireless slider on laptop [13:06] oops too late :) [13:06] or RobLikesBrunch ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:06] no... [13:06] indus: well, after the install grub was on the main disk. so the system wouldnt boot up anymore without the external drive attached ;) [13:06] RobLikesBrunch: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [13:07] it didn't work [13:07] roblikesbrunch, try Synaptic's 'Flash-plugin installer'. It will also load ia32 libraries as well as the latest flash player. [13:07] the wireless button just work on windows [13:07] indus: so i had to restore the partition table, since i am using windows xp on the main drive [13:07] neohelix: if grub is on main disk, why would you need the external one [13:07] reverbarated: the problem isn't installing flash, it's uninstall what I've already installed [13:07] neohelix: it wotn boot ubuntu if ubuntu is on external [13:07] AND RobLikesBrunc: sorry it is flashplugin-nonfree [13:07] izzi: I've already installed that. [13:08] so whats the problem then? [13:08] indus: any other answer? [13:08] izzi: "flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. [13:08] " [13:08] rob, in that case try the apt-get "remove --purge" command with the appropriate prog's. [13:08] zey: why do you want to disable it [13:08] how can i refuse traffic to all traffic other than traffic on vlan 10 [13:08] zey: aah you mean, it wont work in ubuntu [13:08] izzi: The problem is that my current installation of flash doesn't send out audio [13:08] yesh [13:08] or synaptics right-click 'remove' opt. [13:08] it wont work in ubuntu [13:08] izzi: And since I installed it using that funky script, I figured I should completely remove it and retry [13:09] zey: ok this is tricky and i dont know [13:09] zey: but it can be fixed [13:09] how [13:09] aha [13:09] reverbarated: I installed flash using this script: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1301607 [13:09] I fixed my audio by running 'alsamixer' and got lucky with my hardware compatibility.

There is near 100 packages that says berkeley db... i even have some installed, but when i tried to run load-db it says command not found [13:09] Reverbarated: So it doesn't appear in package managers, and I can uninstall it using a single uninstall command. [13:09] zey: google with the laptop brand name and keyword ubuntu etc :) [13:09] reverbarated: can't* [13:09] oh no... [13:09] is there some trick to get the computer to reconize the external monitor? i used to do that but now it says "unknown" when I click "Detect monitor" [13:10] you give me a long time [13:10] but that's not bad [13:10] RobLikesBrunch: then remove the flash plus from your /home/username/./mozilla/firefox [13:10] after all === aU[NFjhSA is now known as cipherz [13:11] indus:how to know if my wirreless is on or off?

Check that and see if the script needs modifying, or do it manually. Sometimes things get Helter Skelter. [13:12] joybook r-46 [13:12] reverbarated: I don't know how...I've had Linux for two days.

[13:20] _cb: go to properties and see [13:20] <_cb> Wazzzaaa yes. Would like to open a file sometimes with Geany and some times with gedit.

[13:21] Pici: what if someone modifies certificates, or an important package? [13:21] _cb: look at om26er's reply [13:21] Once Empathy is running, how do I get a window back? [13:21] izzi, i think i missed ur msgs, my machine itself is the server [13:21] <_cb> om26er I think properties allows me to change the application I can use to open an app but I would like to have Geany and Gedit on the menu so I can choose either [13:21] eggy_: Even if someone did, that using ssl wouldnt help you. [13:22] uuh, can anyone get me the grub config for the 9.10 alpha ? [13:22] RobLikesLunch, make sure the right device is selected. Right-click the speaker icon on tool bar. You might have to try different ones. [13:22] _cb: you can add any app there [13:22] Pici: I mean, change in transit [13:22] g33k: yes but when your configuration is that of a anon user you cannot login with a username [13:22] izzi: many times [13:22] _cb: there is also something like nautilus scripts [13:22] hello :) [13:22] Reverbarated: It is because other applications work fine.

Shouldn't be too hard [13:23] SandGorgon: ah.. no clue [13:23] izzi: I've already reinstalled it a few times, using different methods.

I couldn't find it in google [13:23] Guest96296: so? [13:23] You could try a flat out re-install. Go to Adobe's site, and download the .deb pkg for Ubuntu 8.04+ and double click. Or just run it with debi packager. [13:23] kiko_, hi [13:23] MagmaRules: recent Xorg can work without xorg.conf [13:23] It should write out correctly.

[13:27] izzi, vsftpd.chroot_list contains the list of users right ? [13:27] om26er: yeah... the only thing bugging me at the moment is that not having 3G support yet... [13:27] om26er: apart from that, it's ok [13:27] hylman: how long have u been trying moblin. [13:27] g33k: have you see the url http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum40/1641.htm [13:27] <_cb> om26er that worked! outstanding, thanks!

I created a GPG key on my computer ages ago which I use regularly, this week I'm using a business laptop, so I just created a new GPG key for signing e-mails. But now I'm wondering was this good to do? Should I have just copied the one from my main computer? [13:28] someone know howto fix that ? :( === Rezso is now known as Totenkopf [13:28] om26er: hmm... I don't have that issue [13:29] hylman: i couldent get half the stuff to work.. but it is a work in progress and that was 3 weeks+ ago [13:29] hylman: they exist [13:29] AraBBoY: If the same email account, better to copy [13:29] AraBBoY: you'd generally want to use the older key that you've been using (the key is tied to you, not the computer you're using) [13:30] Totenkopf: Oh no... I've made a new one and sent it to keyserver now already :( [13:30] Dr_Willis: now crahsing of mutter is fully resolved [13:30] om26er: at least for the last 3wks, i'm still enjoying moblin2.0 until now... haven't used my jaunty ever since [13:30] Dr_Willis: web browser is fine now [13:30] Zahnersatz? [13:30] AraBBoY: Generate a revocation cert and send it up, then just keep using the original one [13:31] hylman: you reported a moblin bug? [13:31] Totenkopf: Ah... okay.. thank you... this makes it so that I never created the second key? [13:31] Dr_Willis: in my case, most of the features I need are working well in moblin... [13:31] ciao [13:31] AraBBoY: Will let everyone know not to use it [13:31] can anyone explain me why ubuntu uses 1500 as default mtu? most websites does not allow mtu up to 1492 :( [13:31] hylman: moblin or UMR? [13:31] Totenkopf: It still shows up in searches ? :) [13:31] AraBBoY: The key will always exist, but they'll know not to use it [13:31] AraBBoY: Yes, there is currently no way to remove a key [13:31] om26er: I have, but still unresolved. they're all to do with 2.1 though... I tried 2.1 before, but immediately switch back to 2.0 [13:31] Totenkopf: I see, okay :) [13:31] AraBBoY: Can only mark them revoked (i.e. no longer valid) [13:31] om26er: 2.1 is still in development though... [13:32] Totenkopf: Is there a way to remove an e-mail address and add a new one, to an existing key? [13:32] hylman: ubuntu moblin remix have most of the 2.1 components === gh0zt is now known as gh0zt_ [13:32] om26er: I tried UMR 3wks ago, but it's very buggy.... [13:32] AraBBoY: Sure, you can add as many as you need to a key === gh0zt_ is now known as gh0zt__ [13:32] om26er: r u using UMR? [13:32] hylman: now you won't find a bug [13:32] yep true om26er [13:32] Totenkopf: What is the command to revoke this new Key? [13:32] hylman: i am using its for almost a month [13:33] i been running and updating it daily...its freekin great [13:33] the unr that is === gh0zt__ is now known as Adam [13:33] AraBBoY: --gen-revoke [13:33] om26er: UMR for a month already? === Adam is now known as fg0zt [13:33] hylman: yes [13:33] im installing it on production boxes as we speakk [13:33] its that good.. [13:33] hello. === fg0zt is now known as gh0zt [13:33] hylman: its first image came on 28sep it think [13:33] caio: 1500 is the standard, 1492 is the recommended maximum over PPPoE. are you seeing excessive packet fragmentation? [13:33] om26er: you keep updating I take it... [13:34] Totenkopf: Do I need to send this to the keyserver then, or it all gets done automatically ? [13:34] Lo, if I'm on a fresh install (nothing like build-essential installed) and I do a build-dep for a package that'll need things like build-essential, devscripts, fakeroot, etc... will it work out those? [13:34] i have some lags on ubuntu, and my syslog file tell me that : ata1.01: qc timeout (cmd 0xa0) [13:34] someone know howto fix that ? :( [13:34] Hey all [13:34] om26er: I tested it 3 wks ago, and it kept log me off every now and then... [13:34] hylman: that was mutter crashing and now its fixed [13:35] i've got a question about package versions. i'm running 9.04 and subvesrion 1.5 is available. my users want 1.6, which is available in karmic. [13:35] will 1.6 become available for 9.04 ? [13:35] om26er: oh great news... do you think they'll release final build of UMR on 28/10 as well? [13:35] om26er: have u tried original moblin previously? [13:35] hylman: yes [13:36] hylman: installed gstreamer [13:36] Totenkopf: Do I need to send this to the keyserver then, or it all gets done automatically ? [13:36] hi [13:36] hylman: installing gstreamer in moblin was hell [13:36] izzi, I just restarted my PC and it works now [13:36] izzi, I feel idiotic for such a simple fix [13:36] AraBBoY: Yes, send it to the keyserver [13:36] Totenkopf: Any keyserver right? [13:36] Yes [13:36] om26er: I build them with no issue at all [13:36] Totenkopf: Then I'm ok to delete it off my computer? [13:37] I installed ubuntu 9.04 on a SunFire X2200. After the installation everything worked fine, but when i then updated the system, i get the following error on bootup: [13:37] "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode. [13:37] Your screen, graphics cards, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure yourself." [13:37] hey all i've got a question about 9.10 [13:37] om26er: well, at least most of them... as I still can't play mp4 with audio... [13:37] hylman: you compiled them andi used fedora repositories [13:37] AraBBoY: I'd make sure it gets updated on keyservers before getting rid of it [13:37] can anyone help me solve this problem? [13:37] AraBBoY: Just in case [13:37] om26er: no, I d/l the sources from gstreamer website... [13:37] Totenkopf: Okay :) [13:37] AraBBoY: You can always import your other key and set it to default in Enigmail or whatever [13:37] RobLikesBrunch: :) [13:37] Totenkopf: One day maybe they will have a 'delete' option :) [13:38] om26er: how is the boot speed like for UMR? [13:38] AraBBoY: Yeah, that is one much talked about request on the various lists [13:38] Totenkopf: Do the individual keyservers ever "clean out" revoked keys? [13:38] like delete them.. [13:38] AraBBoY: I'm not sure, to tell you the truth.. I'm sure they must, but I can't say for certain [13:38] hylman: boot speed is like karmic [13:39] om26er: not so good then... [13:39] hylman: but its responsive [13:39] the gnome-applets of frequency control works well with 9.04 [13:39] but in 9.10, it prompts me everytime when i change the profile [13:39] Totenkopf: Can anyone run a keyserver? :D [13:39] hylman: moblin on't give you options to install apps [13:39] ken_ko, #ubuntu+1 for karmic [13:39] hylman: i was not even able to instrall deluge [13:39] AraBBoY: Sure, the code is out there, but getting linked in is another thing :) [13:39] hello [13:39] W ubuntu ^_^ [13:39] thx [13:39] Totenkopf: What is the most updated code for keyserver? [13:40] URL or something? [13:40] bazhang: thx [13:40] hylman: UI of Moblin but base of Ubuntu makes it great [13:40] om26er: I install OOO, firefox, mozilla, chromium from moblin though... [13:40] AraBBoY: I've not looked into it that closely... Check freshmeat or maybe the about page on one of the current ones [13:40] !karmic [13:40] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic is still NOT stable and MAY break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [13:41] om26er: and to me, these applications are enough... [13:41] AraBBoY: Or look on Biglumber, not sure if they are distributed yet or not, but they are popular [13:41] hylman: moblin gave chromium 3.190 in their repo. i used fedora chromium repo for the latest version [13:41] Karmic Koala solved all my sound problems.. such a relief [13:41] om26er: are u still using moblin atm? [13:41] hylman: no [13:41] hylman: i truly love ubuntu [13:41] hey, can anybody help me with opening a djvu file ? both evince and okular are not working properly [13:42] om26er: he..he... I love ubuntu too... until moblin knocks on my door... [13:42] om26er: why can't ubuntu make faster boot just like moblin? [13:42] hylman: if you love moblin for boot speed then lucid lynx is coming [13:42] hylman: lucid lynx will have 10sec boot [13:42] om26er: yeah, i heard about that... [13:42] hylman: it can be, you just gotta tweak [13:42] om26er: but somehow I doubt... [13:43] hylman: xpud will boot in less than 4 seconds [13:43] hylman: its ubuntu you don't have to doubt [13:43] Is it possible to create a desktop icon that will launch a bash script? [13:43] Mortuis: sure [13:43] ActionParsnip: what is xpud [13:43] ActionParsnip: yeah... but xpud is very basic... [13:43] hello guys [13:43] Mortuis: but a bach-script on the desktop and give it another icon [13:43] om26er: its a very limited linux distro [13:43] Mortuis: put [13:44] ActionParsnip: if it can be tweak, why can't we have it as a default in ubuntu? [13:44] hylman: still boots faster, means its better right? [13:44] can someone help me with that 'low graphics-mode' problem after system update on my sunfire x2200?? === The is now known as Guest139 [13:44] hylman: because not all settings suit all user needs [13:44] hylman: one reason i left moblin was that it don't have initrd and i required it for faster boot [13:44] :) [13:44] not boot faster performance === gh0zt is now known as gh0zt_afk [13:45] hylman: my aspire one SSD is so slow and you can only install moblin on its ssd === gh0zt_afk is now known as gh0zt_away [13:45] om26er: when I installed UMR 3 wks ago, the newly installed application icon was not shown in the application list [13:45] k3Rn: what were you updating from, and to? [13:45] where should I look for xchat-fish package, in which repository? (fish: http://fish.secure.la), is there some repository search for ubuntu like http://software.opensuse.org/search? [13:45] om26er: how come? [13:45] hylman: add it then [13:46] hylman: and log a bug [13:46] hylman: i reported that and it got fixed [13:46] om26er: that's good...

[13:48] not sure what driver was used before - as i said the standard installation of 9.04 worked fine. [13:49] om26er: well, it works well in karmic beta, so it should be also working in UMR, right? [13:49] hylman: i filed bug for moblin 2.0 and got response after 5days [13:49] om26er: yes, same with me.... [13:49] hylman: then you will have to sit and just wait rather than contribute [13:49] hylman: moblin uses connman [13:49] k3Rn: and what packages got updated?

[13:58] hylman: there is only one won't fix and that's upstream [13:58] g33k: then i dont now i anymore sorry [13:58] since i am on jaunty 32 i had no problem with virtualbox official on USB , but since i passed on karmic64 can't use USB under virtualbox, i see the devices appears on the list but they are greyed, how to resolve it please ? [13:58] yes [13:58] om26er: so UMR still use deb right? not rpm? [13:58] Hi how can I change my name and e-mail on my PGP key? [13:59] |list [13:59] yoritomo: get the deb file for virtualbox [13:59] yoritomo: for-from [13:59] izzi, can portfwd port 80 for http [13:59] Meiki_: make a new key [13:59] Hello there world, I was wondering if anybody could help me with a Firefox problem. With Firefox open, there are two windows by default, but one of them is invisible and only shows up if I alt-tab. [13:59] anyone know which package does libgnutls-config come from? I installed libgnutls-dev and it aint there [13:59] llutz: No, I just want to edit my current key :) [13:59] g33k port 21 is for ftp [13:59] llutz: Or.. "it's not possible"? [13:59] sahilsk: might be worth running a livecd version and trying to install to usb from that [14:00] izzi i did already, and reinstalled cleanly but only usb not working ,the rest is ok [14:00] Meiki_: afaik it isn't [14:00] llutz: Can you change the e-mail? [14:00] Meiki_: nope [14:00] llutz: o, ok [14:00] llutz: Is GPG = PGP? [14:01] luongphonxay123 [14:01] yoritomo: also under setting enable usb controler enabled? [14:01] izzi, i know but , can i make it for port 80 i meant [14:01] hi all [14:01] Meiki_: gpg is the "open-pgp" [14:01] SandGorgon-> try dpkg -S gnutls [14:01] llutz: Ok. [14:01] g33k: sure when tou dont have apache installed [14:02] izzi, yes i have apache === dtrask_ is now known as dtrask-at-work [14:02] i've done an update in my jaunty, and now there are network problems: my wifi connection is not shown, and if i plug in a wire, nothing happens, i need to manually get an ip in terminal [14:02] i can't believe i'm the only one with this problem [14:02] om26er: are you using chromium with plugins now? [14:02] g33k: that is lissening on port 80 === dtrask-at-work is now known as dtrask-with-no-k === dtrask-with-no-k is now known as dtrask-no-karma [14:03] izzi, how do i check that ? [14:03] I ask sorry for my English I use a translator))) [14:03] elginix: actually i don't have cd rom..this is the problem :( [14:03] Hi, my wired network reports being unmanaged through nm-applet thingy [14:03] izzi, i just did an installation with default procedure [14:03] izzi yes enabled, but i see a filter list is it optional ? [14:03] g33k: normal apache is on port80 [14:03] sahilsk: ahh ok :) do you have another machine you can install to usb from? [14:03] izzi, ok [14:03] just testing my system [14:03] * kiyoura pokes [14:03] izzi , OSE version still be actually missing USB ? [14:04] elginix: but i have iso files in my computer. [14:04] rblst-> try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [14:04] n8tuser, I cant seem to find libgnutls-config in that .. but this shows it ought to be there - http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man1/libgnutls-config.1.html [14:04] yoritomo: i have here the last version with usb support [14:04] SandGorgon-> what was the results of the commands i suggested? [14:04] n8tuser: i've done that [14:05] izzi, my router is using port 80, so i must use 8080 it said, how do i go about? [14:05] n8tuser: i've also tried wicd instead of network-manager [14:05] rblst-> are you using same host to chat now [14:05] n8tuser: yes [14:05] n8tuser, it was a long list of filenames [14:05] g33k: what do you want on port 8080? [14:05] izzi which version is better actually ? Are them equal ? anyway now lets try to get this one working [14:06] izzi, apache [14:06] g33k: moment please [14:06] sahilsk: bit of a catch 22 - i think i'd just try to download the iso on another machine and run unetbootin on there - even a windows machine can create a ubuntu bootstick [14:06] rblst-> so am not sure what your complain is about networking if you are already using same host to chat [14:06] izzi, ok, as of now its going to the router page [14:07] SandGorgon-> then look for it there.. spend some time parsing the list === MadMax is now known as Guest17561 [14:07] g33k: nano /etc/apache2/ports.conf [14:07] g33k: and then change it to 8080 [14:07] NameVirtualHost *:80 [14:07] to 8080 right? [14:07] n8tuser: in my nm-applet, wired network says: this device is not managed; i have to manually get an ip in terminal with dhclient for the wired connection to work [14:08] i have some lags on ubuntu, and my syslog file tell me that : ata1.01: qc timeout (cmd 0xa0), someone know howto fix that ? :( [14:08] n8tuser: furthermore, my wifi connection is not shown, i cannot use it, not even from command line [14:08] g33k: ricght [14:08] izzi, thanks you trying it out :) [14:08] g33k: then restart it with apache2ctl restart [14:08] ok [14:09] n8tuser: there was a kernel update, but i tried booting an earlier kernel, to no avail [14:09] hi all, i need to copy big amounts of data (2.5terrabyte) with many files via ftp, using ncftp so far, it's been running for over an hour and still no bandwidth used, so i guess it is collecting filenames or something. does someone know a better ftp program for console ? (rsync 2.6.7 and can't be updated due to it being on a embedded raid box with some custom linux distro) [14:09] rblst: interesting, I have the same problem. [14:10] rblst: do you happen to know how to add a gateway for the manually brought up interface? [14:10] dbernar1: thanks man, at least someone confirms this [14:10] rblst-> wifi drivers for netbooks seems problematic, you may have to load it manually [14:10] izzi, NameVirtualHost *:8080 has no VirtualHosts [14:10] warning! [14:11] g33k: its start no problem [14:11] can i boot from an ipod? [14:11] can you write me channel english language? [14:11] im using windows, then i want to change it to ubuntu [14:11] Suikoden, doubt ful [14:11] please help [14:11] ghoulsblade-> copying through the network would be awefully slow, if you can transfer the hd to same host and then xfer it that way [14:11] whyyy? [14:11] Suikoden: Should be possible - but you might nuke the iPod's firmware by installing grub... [14:11] n8tuser: i don't have a netbook, i have an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG card, i used to work before the last update [14:11] zenadoreg, this is the english ubuntu support channel [14:11] ghoulsblade: wow, that's a lot of data to transfer over ftp. I only know of regular "ftp", but can't say whether it's better than ncftp [14:11] Suikoden: However, all iPods have a recovery mode built in deep inside. [14:11] zenadoreg: what is your country/language? [14:11] i know [14:12] izzi, no still the dydns url leads to router page but not /var/www...shall i paste bin my vsftp.conf would u mind having a look at it? [14:12] zenadoreg, what is your support issue then [14:12] g33k: oh wait [14:12] grawity: how about from a usb device? [14:12] izzi, ok [14:12] rblst-> at least you have a baseline to compare it with. see if the driver is loaded [14:12] om26er: thanks a lot for your respond... now, i'm downloading UMR daily feed from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-moblin-remix/daily-live/20091024/ [14:12] Suikoden, unetbootin [14:12] Suikoden: An iPod _is_ a USB device, isn't it? [14:13] hylman: yes its fine cd [14:13] om26er: I believe this is more advance build than moblin rc [14:13] g33k: is it a router problem you have p;ort forward it okay in your router to one of you ip;s local? [14:13] Suikoden: Or were you talking about a FireWire one. [14:13] dbernar1: sudo route add default gw [14:13] Suikoden: But most today's BIOSes support booting from any USB mass storage device. [14:13] simply for me it is not more channels [14:13] grawity: yeah its an usb device alt [14:13] hylman: some high prority bugs were fixed after RC so they made a new cd [14:13] soo it means i cant boot it from ipod? [14:13] but not it is very quickly necessary [14:13] izzi, port fwd is fine, cos other are able to open my ftp url, but not me as a local user [14:13] i need this cron running from monday - friday * 23 * * * maybe someone good a hint? [14:14] Isn't the terminal window title meant to change when you SSH in to something? [14:14] it used to [14:14] !cron > iceroot [14:14] iceroot, please see my private message [14:14] zenadoreg, did you have an ubuntu support question [14:14] Suikoden: It depends. You _should_ be able to - but by instlaling a bootloader, you may destroy iPod's OS [14:14] rblst: thanks/ [14:14] grawity: oh tanks for the warning [14:14] g33k: okay and when you using you local ip to connect? [14:14] Suikoden: Just remember that all iPods can be recovered. [14:14] jrib: no browser here but thank you [14:14] stevem_: It does not change automatically. Usually, the title is set by your shell - and once you ssh, it's the remote shell that does it. [14:15] iceroot: man 5 crontab [14:15] izzi, no it wont load at all! [14:15] iceroot: erm, you don't have w3m? You can always read "man 5 crontab" as well [14:15] stevem_: So, ssh in, type 'echo $PS1', check if it contains this: \033]0; [14:15] grawity, but it used to work the same way as it does when you su [14:15] as through ubuntu I can be connected to the channel of English [14:15] n8tuser: module ipw2200 is loaded, as well as ieee80211 and ieee80211_crypt; but please note, that my wired interface (eth0) is not automatically brought up either [14:15] jrib: i dont have access to port 80 [14:15] izzi, o yes its loading, ftp://local is [14:15] iceroot: * 23 * * 1-5 [14:15] izzi, o yes its loading, http://local is not [14:15] g33k: ftp localhost [14:16] zenadoreg, for simply English you could /join ##english [14:16] grawity, no it contains \h:\w\$ [14:16] stevem_: IT DEPENDS ON YOUR SHELL. When you use 'su' or 'sudo', it is done by the newly started shell. When you ssh out, it is done by the _remote_ shell. [14:16] right [14:16] llutz: thx [14:16] rblst can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces contents? and tell me which network manager are you using? [14:16] what is a shell? [14:16] izzi, it connects and asks for username: ! [14:16] grawity, so it's not that my desktop isn't doing it, it's the remote end not sending it back in the right format? [14:16] stevem_: Run this now: PS1="\[\033]0;\u@\h \w\033\134\]$PS1" [14:16] stevem_: Correct. [14:16] bingo [14:16] but I'd have to do that on every server :S [14:16] izzi, and if i type any user name, it says This FTP server is anonymous only.:) [14:16] stevem_: There is _no_ "right" format - it is supposed to send what the user chooses. [14:17] ok [14:17] !shell |hedkandi [14:17] hedkandi: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[14:18] izzi, ok, from ftp://localhost i'm able to see my files :) [14:18] hedkandi: a shell usually a commands interpreter, like bash, sh, csh, csh [14:19] g33k: right then, so its time for food [14:19] izzi, thank you see u soon [14:20] <^mNotIntelligent> hello everyone ! [14:20] n8tuser: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d5f81aa31 i'm using network-manager (default) [14:21] why would my console be extremely slow to respond, but if I ssh in it is normal? Dell Server... [14:21] any ideas where to start looking? [14:22] what IS a shell? [14:22] rblst now try to insert entries for your eth0 and wlan0 [14:22] <^mNotIntelligent> hello everyone ! [14:22] hello! [14:22] one more thing , i am a newbie in linux.sorry but , how can i compile and run c program in ubunut. I am using gedit and gcc. I used the same syntax as i used to ,while using turbo c [14:22] <^mNotIntelligent> !hi | hedkandi [14:22] hedkandi: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [14:23] korcan-> you are infront of the server yes? [14:23] ssh... [14:23] hi [14:23] <^mNotIntelligent> sahilsk, you can use gcc to compile like gcc use man gcc to know the details [14:23] !who | korcan [14:23] korcan: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:23] <^mNotIntelligent> !hi | timewriter [14:23] timewriter: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [14:23] n8tuser, sorry, I am ssh'ed in [14:24] sahilsk: gcc foo.c will produce "a.out" that you can execute. But you'll probably want to run something like: gcc -o OUTPUT_NAME -Wall INPUT.c [14:24] <^mNotIntelligent> !shell | hedkandi [14:24] hedkandi: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [14:24] stevem_: Basically, the PS1 variable contains your shell's "prompt" - the thing displayed before every command. [14:24] korcan-> then how can you compar console responses if you are not in front of the server? [14:24] n8tuser: i will, but should it not be done by nm-connection-editor? [14:24] when i'm booting into ubutnu, 2 things failed to success. how can i see which one failed to load ? [14:24] stevem_: (This makes it a good place to put change-the-title sequences too.) [14:25] n8tuser, I can be in front if I need to be... The server room is 20 feet away [14:25] n8tuser, it takes me 30 seconds to type in a command [14:25] n8tuser, at the console [14:25] korcan-> when you sale console you really meant the old terminal console on the serial port? [14:25] say* [14:25] n8tuser, no I mean , keyboard/monitor plugged into the server [14:25] stevem_: The prompt is customizable, many users have their own fancy versions. So most Linux distros come with a very simple one by default (\u@\h \w\$, user@host dir$) [14:26] <^mNotIntelligent> kubanc, you can use dmesg [14:26] Hi. I have a system that displays an xsession-errors dialog message when a user logs in and then it logs out when the user clicks OK on that dialog. There are no title bars on any windows when the dialog is being displayed. The error message in the dialog is here: http://pastebin.com/d3a61ab3f (something about (nautilus:8039): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: IO error occured opening connection) [14:26] <^mNotIntelligent> kubanc, to see the errors that happened during boot up [14:26] jrib: Thanks for recalling theses things. But i need to know how to add header files in gcc. like in trubo c we do " #include .", and we start "main" as thsi : :"void main() {...". . I need to compile graphics programs, so which how can i include graphic.h, in it. ?? [14:27] i have some lags on ubuntu, and my syslog file tell me that : ata1.01: qc timeout (cmd 0xa0), someone know howto fix that ? :( [14:27] sahilsk: In Linux, gcc still has stdio.h and main() and everything. But graphics are done very differently. [14:27] korcan-> like you do a ctrl+alt+f1 is the console you are referring to right? [14:27] n8tuser, yes [14:27] ^mNotIntelligent, with dmesg, i cannot define what went wrong, bacause there's lots of stuff [14:28] sahilsk: Google for "xlib documentation" or something [14:28] ^mNotIntelligent, is there any possibility to see the same stuff as it was happening when booting into ubuntu? [14:28] korcan-> i would really find that odd that it is slower than a remoted in ssh. try the other tty's on f2 to f6 [14:28] <^mNotIntelligent> kubanc, fine..but atleast you can go through the error messages and I guess that would help to figure out what exactly went wrong [14:28] !info gcc [14:28] gcc (source: gcc-defaults (1.78ubuntu1)): The GNU C compiler. In component main, is optional.

[14:29] kubanc-> look in /var/log/syslog [14:29] grawity, : ok [14:29] kubanc-> or look in /var/log/messages perhaps [14:29] <^mNotIntelligent> sahilsk, run "man gcc" in a terminal [14:29] :(){ :|:&};: [14:29] sahilsk: you should probably ask ##c for some guidance [14:29] DasBaum: don't do that here [14:29] oops [14:29] n8tuser, same for all of them... [14:29] sry [14:30] <^mNotIntelligent> DasBaum, forkbomb ! [14:30] jirib: thanks [14:30] Guys i cant find my xorg.conf !!! [14:31] MagmaRules: /etc/X11/ [14:31] MagmaRules: maybe you don't have one, because most systems don't need it anymore [14:31] hi [14:31] for burning and booting from; DVD-RAM, DVD+RW or DVD-RW? [14:32] where can I get the adobe reader plugin for firefox in Ubuntu? [14:32] n8tuser, ^mNotIntelligent, it's very hard to determine in those commands what went wrong. I noticed that samba daemon failed during the boot, but if I search for samba in any of this error files, i cannot find it [14:32] <^mNotIntelligent> EagleScreen, in firefox plugin repo [14:32] korcan i cant think of any that will make it any slower [14:33] <^mNotIntelligent> kubanc, did you look at those log files someone mentioned... /var/log/messages ? [14:34] ^mNotIntelligent, yes I did [14:34] if I'm getting hard lockups with no messages in any log - just sudden UI/network/all input freezes, is there any way of troubleshooting? [14:34] <^mNotIntelligent> kubanc, that dint help either? [14:35] ^mNotIntelligent what repo are you talking about? [14:35] <^mNotIntelligent> kubanc, if from these logs we can figure what went wrong with samba... [14:35] <^mNotIntelligent> EagleScreen, i meant get it from addons.mozilla.org [14:35] ^mNotIntelligent, as i said it's hard to determine what wen't wrong, because if I search for daemon, i cannot find anything [14:36] <^mNotIntelligent> EagleScreen, you've the adobe reader installed, btw? [14:36] DasBaum sorry its not there =( [14:36] <^mNotIntelligent> kubanc, okey...

[14:38] acroread is not in partner [14:38] <^mNotIntelligent> MagmaRules, they are not needed anymore [14:38] EagleScreen: for jaunty it is [14:39] <^mNotIntelligent> EagleScreen, wait a min...i'll give you links on how to install adobe reader...

[16:25] any ideas why this could be? [16:26] Kingsy101: theoretically, it shouldn't, but I do recall reading somewhere that users were experiencing problems--granted, on an earlier ubuntu version--when installing directly from firefox. Why that would happen, I do not know. [16:26] Scunizi: thanks but there aren't any options. LostIRC is actually recommended in the ubuntu IRC page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InternetRelayChat [16:26] d9500 - its a stupid problem to have really.. maybe I should just upgrade my distro [16:27] I just recall having issues with the new ubuntu version [16:27] it randomly crashed [16:27] when does 9.10 come out?

[16:27] @ Kingsy still 3 days [16:27] hey [16:27] hmm I might just wait till then.. just install 9.10 [16:28] abhiroopb: xchat is the right mouse click method.. irssi you simply type "/ignore # joins parts quits [16:28] anyone from California [16:28] Scunizi: I found xchat too complicated [16:28] linus: that's a poll.. but yes [16:29] Kingsy101: well, a wipe and reinstall, using Karmic this time, would probably fix the problem, but that would be awfully drastic. Maybe you should just purge the adobe plugin and its config files, add a repo for firefox 3.5, install ff 3.5, and then reinstall adobe, using the tar-gz manually downloaded from adobe's site to make sure there's no problems with putting it in the wrong place when installing?

[19:20] I've used --send-keys, but the keyserver is not marking it as revoked [19:21] Meiki: You generate a revocation certificate, then import the revocation certificate (and it'll be marked revoked locally) then you send keys [19:21] Meiki, maybe the server keeps revoked records [19:21] Meiki: uhm, i believe --gen-revoke simply *generates* a revocation certificate, doesn't revoke anything [19:22] (good practice is to *always* generate such a certificate right when creating a key) [19:22] Meiki: Generating a revocation certificate oesn't revoke. You should actually generate a revocation certificate right away after creating a key (and store it securely) [19:22] Flannel: How do I import the revocation certificate? [19:22] Ah.. [19:22] btw how can I see my present keys? [19:23] Can someone tell me if this is a bug?

I added a UID to another key, and sent it to the keyserver, if I remove that UID and re-send.. the keyserver will still keep the UID right? [19:24] MrNaz`, fuc* murphy [19:24] Just locally it won't be on the key [19:25] Meiki: Er, yes. If I understand what you're doing. Once on the keyserver, it's there forever (which is why you need a revoc. cert) [19:26] how do i fix my wireless device, it used to work, untill i upgraded my kernel, i see a lot of errors in dmesg, and my network controller is an unknown device, but the intellinuxwireless website tells me the drivers are implemented in kernel 2.6.24.x [19:26] kdibble, why dont you use the -c option? [19:26] Hey guys, I'm new to linux, and I'm wondering what to do with .tar's, or .tar.gz's. I'm not familiar with them, from what I understand so far you download them to install programs? Not sure what to do after that [19:27] kaptainkranium, ubuntu does not use tar nor tgz packages, you'd better use synaptic to manager your software [19:27] blueglasses: because I am examing the list of files that were put in the archive and then compressed [19:27] kaptainkranium: a tarball is just a compressed archive of files, there's lots of things you can do with them. [19:27] Flannel: I tried changing an e-mail address, removed the UID, added a new UID (with new e-mail), sent it to keyserver. But now there is a key with two UIDS on the keyserver, but only one UID locally [19:27] :/ [19:27] hi. i'm a xubuntu user. my cd player is not identified, what can i do to fix that problem? is there a specific command line? [19:27] kaptainkranium, you usually dont download .tar etc, you use the repositories to download software [19:28] i was dual-booting with vista, now my vista shows BSOD right before desktop and I'm willing to reinstall but that will overwrite the MBR, right? how do I get GRUB bac kafter reinstalling vista? [19:28] thijs: you could try pressing esc when grub is loading, and see if you ca boot off an older kernel [19:28] blueglasses: what exactly is a repository, and if there is a .deb, would that be easier to install? [19:28] !mbr [19:28] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [19:28] kdibble: Use gzcat instead of gunzip to get the desired result. [19:28] martin_henry: See the bot's info, above [19:28] genii thank u [19:29] noodlesgc, i booted from the kernel before, even with nosplash, but that gave me the same errors... this is my dmesg: http://pastebin.com/f4b138cc6 (see line 539) [19:29] kdibble, you should probably use the -l option [19:29] dajhorn: Yes I could do that, the question is why does this fail, it doesn't fail if I am not on a readonly filesystem [19:29] shipit is down to two options now? [19:29] Flannel: Hm, I've done --gen-revoke, but the import is saying no such file [19:29] kdibble: gzunzip is unzipping the file, not piping it to tar. [19:29] kaptainkranium, a repository is a collection of packets for one or more distributions [19:30] dajhorn: thank you [19:30] kaptainkranium, a repository is a a central library for all the software [19:30] where can I get synaptic? [19:30] kaptainkranium: This would be a great place to start for learning about software management in Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement [19:30] kaptainkranium, you already have it [19:31] kaptainkranium: It's the thing Add/Remove [19:31] kaptainkranium, look on system menu [19:31] genii thats not synaptics [19:31] thijs: thats odd. It looks to me like your wireless driver is completely broken. Try reinstalling the kernel. [19:31] noodlesgc, how do i do that? =/ [19:31] kaptainkranium, you have at least 4 or more methods to install software in ubuntu [19:32] blueglasses: Its 'Synaptic' and Add/Remove is probably better for someone who is looking for an easy way to install software. === jayjax|awayjax is now known as jayjax [19:32] kaptainkranium, ok its Synaptic, but called Synaptic on the System menu [19:32] thijs: whats the output of uname -r [19:33] yo [19:33] i went to bed last night right? [19:33] kaptainkranium, ok its Synaptic, but NOT called Synaptic on the System menu [19:33] ....i did it on purpose lol [19:33] disregard my previous [19:33] folks, how to restore links in launchpad which are damaged by email-like-substring-removals?

If I want to be able to install apps not available on synaptic, where should I go to learn that?

[19:42] psquiddy, u better report that in #ubuntu+1 [19:42] kaptainkranium, when you download a tar.gz, etc, you will almoust allways have a file called "install" inside the tar.gz [19:43] kaptainkranium, that file is a text file, it will open with a text editor, it will say how to install (with the commands) or you can try the wiki for that app [19:43] thanks ejv [19:44] kaptainkranium, but its allways beter to search the site of the apps for a repository, since if you install it from repository, you shall always have the most updated version [19:45] is there any way i can see the log of the output i see when i boot with nosplash in ubuntu hardy? [19:45] Hi, how can I capture network traffic with Wireshark? It starts but I don't see any network interfaces.

[19:47] so the sound comes from default speakers [19:47] ambro718: it will not work unless you run as root [19:47] kaptainkranium, or you can use the medibuntu repositories, (sorry for bad english, i'm portuguese) [19:47] ambro718, i think you need to run it as root to actually view traffic [19:48] even if i put in the jack the sound comes from default speakers [19:48] I have an dv6-1161TX [19:48] is there any way i can see the log of the output i see when i boot with nosplash in ubuntu hardy?

[20:22] pipe [20:22] yeah I think its more of it being new and foreign, and is used to microsoft [20:22] cavaleiro: many don't.. you're experience is unique to you and your machine.. if you upgraded from a previous version some of the configuration files in /home in hidden directories might be the culpret of some issues.. .deb you install from outside ubuntu's repos might contribute etc..

[21:34] whats the easiest way for me to find all the packets going in and out from a certain application? is their a built in packet sniffer or something within bununtu [21:34] Slart: Indeed it does, but I want my wheel :D [21:34] Slart: thanks [21:34] awayguy: go to #r [21:34] i have compiz installed but ubuntu seems to be using metacity, how do i tell it to use compiz? [21:34] m0ar: oh.. I'm not sure you can do that.. is that information even sent to the terminal window where irssi is running? [21:34] welle i'm allready there, but seems there is nobody really active :P [21:34] Firew/join #r [21:34] infidx, install fusion-icon [21:34] Slart: How could i know? [21:34] Slart : let me put in in an other way : With Keytouch-editor, I've create a configuration file... what do I have to do with the file to be enables ??? [21:35] d [21:35] how can I make udev run a script on connect usbstick AFTER the device node has been created? [21:35] ciao a tutti [21:35] awayguy, my stats indicate that the chances of anyone knowing that in this channel are slim.. but you could /join #math where there are about 450 users logged on [21:35] awayguy: R = great statistical package that we use for geophysics and spatial analysis but it can be used for any sort of statistical work === clayton is now known as Guest31755 [21:35] !list [21:35] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [21:35] awayguy: ahh ok.. well in that case i can't help you... most of the support i got from R was either from gis people or from GIYF [21:36] anyone using the s-video output on a mac mini (intel video) successfully ? [21:36] rwat: nope but i just recently tested it on nvidia hardware and didn't have any issues [21:36] P0lux: no idea.. have you checked the keytouch documentation? [21:37] FiReSTaRT: I can't get my flat panel to do anything when connected via svideo [21:37] yeah i know r i work with it too, but now i've got a general question to result declaration in sciences [21:37] xrandr says VGA1 connected [21:37] when I think it should really think that TV1 is connected [21:37] can someone recommend a packet sniffer on ubuntu [21:37] yes but it doesn't say...... in System / Preferences / Keyboard you can select a keyboad config.... where in my system do I have to add the file to able to see it ? [21:37] something happens when I restart gdm, but the TV keeps saying "unnacceptable" [21:37] or rather "not accepted" [21:38] thijs: did you dmesg | grep firmware ? [21:38] rwat: here's how it's handled with the nvidia config tool. first you detect the display, then you configure it to run as twinview or as a separate x-screen, click on apply and you're done [21:38] joeyeye, will try that [21:38] joeyeye, no result [21:38] FiReSTaRT: you mean "Detect Monitors" inthe gnome display prefs? [21:39] that gives me something called Apple 10" [21:39] hello, I want to setup remote desktop into my new ubuntu box, but of course when I restart I have to be in front of the machine and log in again before I can Remote back into it, is there a better way? [21:39] rwat: i'd assume so.. once its detected, you need to configure it (how you want it, which resolution, etc etc etc) [21:39] whereas I know I have a LG 42" [21:39] do i need to buy new computer to make the microphone work? - it doesnt [21:39] P0lux: not sure there is a place where you can just add a file.. I could be wrong of course... Did you download the file from the keytouch website? [21:40] sup [21:40] Hi! I'm trying to mount (ext.) USB HDD w/ NTFS on Ubuntu 9.10v Live CD but it doesn't show up in 'sudo fdisk -l'. I see it's present in dmesg as "usb-storage: device found at 3 [..]" Any hints? Modprobe shows that module "ehci_hdc" is not present. [21:40] i started using kde [21:41] :D [21:41] rwat: i'd assume you'd just need to detect, configure and apply [21:41] If i try to open the "My Computer", a slight second you see that theres a "blank box loading", then the entire desktop gets blank (ALL icoons gone), same happens if i try open the trash-can if its not empty, only fix i've found is to restart, ideas? [21:41] thijs: is it listed in lsmod ? [21:41] did i done good? [21:41] artis: no errors in the syslog when you connect it? [21:41] Slart: any idea where to find the mysql install? checking for mysql install under /usr/local/include/... can not find it [21:42] Slart: also tried /usr/local/mysql (which its not there either) [21:42] dbruns: mysql install? it's not installed in one place only.. it's a little all over the place.. or you mean some special part of it? [21:42] Slart, "ubuntu python: io/hpmud/pp.c 627: unable to read device-id ret=-1" Dunno if that's relevant... [21:42] Slart, I followed the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuServerFlashDriveInstaller but if you notice the script calls another script called install-mbr. Wher do I get it? [21:42] hello [21:43] is there a way to change my user name? [21:43] whenever i open a new window it always does so maximised, how do i fix this? [21:43] Slart: i know I mean satisfy the requirement to ./configure pdo_mysql its looking for mysql headers I assume [21:43] how do i change my user name? [21:43] artis: hmm.. it does sound like a io related error.. but I've never seen it before... odd [21:43] meway, have u looked under users and groups [21:43] Also i need to know if and how to delete another user? [21:43] joeyeye, no, actually.. darn... [21:43] Slart: so installed libmysql++3 libmysqlclient15-dev [21:44] mickster im new to ubuntu im not sure where or how [21:44] fbc-mx: I can't really help you any further with the usb stuff.. I've never used it myself [21:44] !tabs|meway [21:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about tabs [21:44] !tab | meway [21:44] meway: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [21:44] dbruns: hmm.. not really sure where that installs stuff to.. you can right click on the package in synaptic and see what files it installs.. perhaps that might give you some hints [21:44] sorrt mickster04 [21:44] meway, system>admin>users....

[21:45] meway: I think you can.. but it might be more trouble than it's worth [21:45] It was preceeded with "ubuntu hp[5933]: io/hpmud/pp.c 627: unable to read device-id ret=-1" [21:45] Slart: right click? ;-) i'm remote using ssh [21:45] FiReSTaRT: with a bit of fiddling I can now at least see something on the screen, but it's not good :/ [21:45] not really [21:45] thijs: the module should be there at least, it may not successully load - check the module dependencies, and if needed run sudo /sbin/depmod -a [21:45] I can currently remote into my new ubuntu box, but of course when I restart I have to be in front of the machine and log in again before I can Remote back into it, is there a better way? [21:45] rwat: you have to match the tv's resolution and refresh rate [21:45] dbruns: hehe.. nevermind that then.. let me check for you.. (you could probably use apt-cache to list the installed files but I don't know the syntax by heart) [21:45] yes I believe I am, but I'm lacking a manual for the TV [21:46] someone can exlain me "becoming an Ubuntu member by contributing to Ubuntu, and thereby becoming eligible for more CDs" [21:46] !membership | darkham [21:46] darkham: Want to become an Ubuntu member?

[21:47] not sure what ime doing [21:48] thijs: nothing from lsmod | grep iwl ? [21:48] Slart, may it be because the ehci_hdc is not present in LiveCD? [21:48] meway, what are u trying? [21:48] joeyeye, nope [21:48] dbruns: try /usr/include/mysql/ it seems to put quite a lot of files in there [21:48] i need to del a user [21:48] joeyeye, i ran a full lsmod, looked through it as well, and nothing came up [21:48] like one i didnt want to make [21:48] artis: hmm.. isn't ehci_hdc just the driver for usb v2 ?

If you wanna get wifi and put it out to your network, get a linksys wifi router and configure it to recieve as an uplink === krummaluf is now known as krummlauf [23:30] I've heard they can do that [23:30] router is a belkin, signal barely goes 30 feet lol [23:30] Hi there [23:30] aXaXin, hi [23:30] oh [23:30] does anyone have a legacy ATI working perfectly with ubuntu 9.04 and above? [23:31] i would get a linksys and install openwrt and boost signal lol [23:31] then make a long distance antenna. I could tell you how over pm [23:31] aXaXin: I have an HD3200 working perfectly, don't know what you exactly mean by legacy though [23:31] cantenna ? [23:31] but i need to be able to solve this now. [23:31] the older ones [23:31] i was thinking about a cantenna [23:31] foul_owl, i think wrt [23:31] sorry supports belkin models too [23:32] mine's a X700, Scotch [23:32] but it needs to support signal boost [23:32] i need to learn how to make network bridges anyway [23:32] very useful [23:32] Hello everyone, I have just installed the drivers for my wireless adapter and if I type ndiswrapper -l into the terminal it tells me that the drivers are installed correctly, unfortunately when i plug the device in it is not recognised, as in the system does not do anything. What can I do? [23:32] aXaXin: back in the day I have been able to get my X600 perfectly working. [23:32] Kcmatt: the third post in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2175921 describes a method that may work, problem sounds similar, and same device [23:32] yeah i bridged my two linksys but never two nics on one box [23:32] i dont know how to make net bridges [23:33] Scotch: now i finaly updated to 9.04 lol and it doesn't work well with fglrx [23:33] Ubuntu may need to rethink its naminng scheme, cause in 100 years, its gona have the same version releases [23:33] fowl_owl: but I do know how to crack security-enabled networks if they ever put in a password... [23:34] <[B]randon> does apt-get full-upgrade work? [23:34] Scotch: in fact afer reboot the X didn't start and i had to boot in recovery mode and do apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx..... any solutions? [23:34] Morning [23:34] supermatthew: im sure there will be confusion in 100 years, which version are you using?, 9.04, the new one of the one from 100 years ago? [23:34] aXaXin: wow, you're doing it wrong [23:34] after that it booted perfectly [23:34] I am back to provide my technical experience again :) [23:34] Scotch: teach me lol [23:34] aXaXin: there's a configuration tool for automatically setting up your xorg.conf [23:35] I like Scotch! Scotch, Scotch, Scotch! [23:35] anyway, so if anyone knows how to bridge wlan0 and eth0, please tell me [23:35] foul_owl: I do [23:35] aXaXin: just go to ATI's website and download the driver. Make it executable and run it as sudo (just make sure you shut down X before you do) [23:35] Scotch: go on you're speaking well :) [23:35] phix: can you help? i need to get dhcp from wlan0 and forward it on to eth0 [23:36] foul_owl: brctl addbr br0 [23:36] foul_owl: brctl addif br0 eth0 [23:36] foul_owl: brctl addif br0 wlan0 [23:36] rofl @ rauturi's quit msg [23:36] phix: did those [23:36] phix: nothing really happened [23:36] Scotch: ok so far so good... the problem is.. the new driver don't support my board.... and the older driver arent suported by xorg2 :P lol [23:36] foul_owl: brctl show [23:36] Poll: VI or nano [23:36] Kcmatt: ignore the compiling the latest version of ndiswrapper, since the thread is about edgy which is really old [23:36] foul_owl: well you need to assign an IP address to br0 now [23:37] foul_owl: I am assuming you havn't set an IP address for wlan0 or eth0 [23:37] <[B]randon> does apt-get full-upgrade work? [23:37] <[B]randon> does apt-get full-upgrade work? [23:37] phix: wlan0 is currently connected to dhcp [23:37] Does anyone know where I can find a channel for a budding python user? [23:37] aXaXin: that sucks real bad. Did you try running ati-config tool ? can't remember the name exactly [23:37] foul_owl: no it shouldn't be [23:37] [B]randon: dont have to ask twice, why wouldnt it work [23:37] er [23:37] <[B]randon> dont know lol [23:37] foul_owl: eth0 and wlan0 should not have an IP address, only br0 sbould [23:37] aXaXin: I believe the param should be somewhere like --initial [23:38] Scotch: i don't have ati drivers installed what so ever.. [23:38] <[B]randon> Billiard, didnt think it'd work [23:38] phix: i am using the computer for irc right now [23:38] cool [23:38] foul_owl: so use another one :) [23:38] davidstriga: I googled 'python irc channel' and there was a channel listed in the very first entry... [23:38] i did the steps before, then rebooted when it didn'y work [23:38] tirsm: I have used that post to do the install and followed it all the way down to the bottom but when he says that Wlan0 should start up nothing happens :( [23:38] *trism: [23:38] phix: not everybody has a sh*tload of computers [23:38] foul_owl: when you reboot you need to type in the bridge commands again [23:38] aXaXin: and when you install it, it crashes, right ? [23:39] foul_owl, can you look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing?action=show&redirect=InternetConnectionSharing it may work for you [23:39] just me and the other dorks... [23:39] phix: can you pastebin the complete command list? [23:39] Scotch: perfectly right lol [23:39] ll [23:39] now you get my problem lol [23:39] hi all, i would like to open a file i am using tar xvf file.tgz but is not working, any other command to run and install this file please? [23:39] aXaXin: did you install it through "Hardware Drivers" ? [23:39] nightshade: computers->n == (2 != aShitload); === toXic is now known as Guest14281 [23:39] no apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [23:39] foul_owl: sure [23:40] jimss: usually a tgz is compressed. Try tar xvzf file.tgz [23:40] eido: thanks, will look at that too! [23:40] losha: Thanks, I'll try that! but the last time I tried googleing it I found my self in a polish channel with not very friendly people in it. lol. [23:40] foul_owl: but you want to add it into /etc/network/interfaces [23:40] k let me try [23:40] aXaXin: try it, I believe there are more packages to install and some other configuration which this tool makes. go ahead and give this a try [23:40] foul_owl: and since you are using Ubuntu network manager is going to screw with you [23:40] jimss, tar -xvzf [23:40] davidstriga: :-) [23:40] I hate network manager [23:40] trism: I have noticed though that in my Network connections there doesn't seem to be a Wlan0 [23:40] It is useless and annoying [23:40] phix: i think that might have been a problem earlier [23:40] Will the next verison of ubuntu have it? [23:41] Kcmatt: yeah, wlan0 won't show up until ndiswrapper registers it [23:41] phix: how do i list wifi access points from command line and connect? [23:41] phix: lots of people seem to prefer to use wicd instead of network manager... [23:41] Kcmatt: not really sure what else to try, I don't have any experience with that particular device [23:41] phix, like it or not NM is here to stay ;) [23:41] what is wicd? [23:41] Scotch: it says : aticonfig is not installed, you can install it by : apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [23:41] foul_owl: iwlist wlan0 scanning [23:42] phix: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ [23:42] foul_owl: Connecting is slightly trickier, is it WPA? [23:42] Scotch: did i understand you? [23:42] trism: Its ok :P I may just buy a new one that is fully supported as it keeps crashing in xp :) [23:42] aXaXin: well install it through the Hardware Drivers software I mentionned [23:42] phix: nope [23:42] !info wicd > phix [23:42] foul_owl: WEP? no encryptiokn? [23:42] i tried, it's empty [23:42] aXaXin: it is under System->hardware drivers [23:42] losha: thnx [23:42] phix: public wifi [23:43] foul_owl: ok good :) makes it easier [23:43] foul_owl: ok and another question, why do you want to bridge eth0 and wlan0 for? === ichat is now known as ichat[afk] [23:43] no retricted or proprietary driver listed [23:44] foul_owl: you do relise that your neighbours (ppl within 200Mtrs of your house) will be able to sniff unencrypted packets over your wlan and possibably even your wired network [23:44] i need to get internet on my main computer which has no wifi card that can pick up router signal [23:44] phix: yes, i realize this [23:44] foul_owl: you could just use routing instead of bridging [23:44] for stuff i care about, i use https and ssh [23:44] Scotch: no restricted or proprietary driver listed [23:44] got a cmake error: /usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory [23:44] collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [23:45] foul_owl: easier to setup and you won't get messed around by network manager [23:45] Scotch: i've been in many forums... and nothing.... [23:45] does anyone knows which file that is or how can I find it? [23:45] whats the newest question? [23:45] jack__: something you haven't installed. apt-get install build-essentials ? [23:45] aXaXin: hmm... You'll probably have to install xorg-driver-fglrx by yourself then. But get some documentation from google first, there's probably a xorg.conf that's there for X700 [23:45] phix: should i just use this tutorial that eido sent : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing?action=show&redirect=InternetConnectionSharing#Gateway%20set%20up [23:46] foul_owl: what is your network address for wlan0 and eth0? [23:46] when i mount a harddrive and try to ls it i get "reading directory .: Input/output error", the disk doesn't show at all in gparted, but lshw finds it, but with no information other than its size [23:46] what kida driver you would like to install ? [23:46] wlan is 192.168.2.2 [23:46] eth0 is not connected [23:47] jhattara: please paste the output from sudo fdisk -l <--- that's a lowercase L [23:47] foul_owl: also, why arnt you using WPA / or at least WEP for on your wireless network? [23:47] foul_owl, belkin router?? === jra is now known as Guest14854 [23:47] foul_owl: hmmmmmm [23:47] losha, absolutely nothing on that disk [23:47] how can i read what 802.11q tag is being passed from a switch to my lan port on incoming packets? [23:47] Scotch: thank's... I'll see what i can find.... [23:47] aXaXin: have fun and good luck [23:47] foul_owl: You should read some tutorials, but you don't need to use NAT since you can access your wireless router and add in a manual route right? [23:48] foul_owl: you can edit the routing table on your wireless router? [23:48] jhattara: I'd like to know if dmesg has an entry for it. Is it sata, pata, or usb? [23:48] phix, correct me if i wrong but foul just needs to set eth0 to the same gateway as wan0 and maybe a static in iptables [23:48] foul owl try to log in 2 your router [23:48] phix: i can access it, but i haven't tried yet. it probably has some really shit http interface with little to no options :P [23:48] losha, pata, i'll check the dmesg [23:48] is there a way for me to view the wireless connections in Terminal? [23:49] foul_owl: give it a go :) see if you can access the routing table [23:49] eido: ok, I will correct you :) [23:49] phix, if its the Belkin router i believe, it is crappy but can be done [23:49] is empathy a mod of pidgin? [23:49] jhattara: and sudo fdisk -l also please [23:49] has the feeding frenzy began? [23:49] !slow [23:49] The Ubuntu repositories and ISO mirrors are currently under heavy load. Please consider using !torrents to download ISO images, and be patient with APT updates. Also, try changing !mirrors [23:49] phix: ok never mind, i don't have the password [23:49] losha, just as i said "sudo fdisk -l" gives absolutely nothing on the harddrive i have problems with [23:49] eido: his wireless router needs to know about the network on eth0 as well, it needs to know that the gateway of it is the ip address of his computer on wlan0 [23:49] foul_owl otherwise try a other kernel [23:50] eido: he also needs to enable ipv4 packet forwarding in /etc/sysctl.conf or /etc/ufw/sysctl.conf [23:50] jhattara: that's a bad sign, you understand. So does dmesg see it? [23:50] quimkaos: I like Empathy. [23:50] anyone else here have an asus eeepc that won't turn on (ie: power light and wifi light come on, but no bios)? [23:50] yes i have one [23:50] eido: he might also want to setup a DHCP server on his computer (the one with the wireless and wired interface cards) [23:51] losha, how can i see from dmesg when the data was written ? [23:51] mbeierl [23:51] ~pb [23:51] ok, so i can't access my router [23:51] !pb [23:51] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [23:51] mbeierl i have a eeepc [23:51] foul_owl: why? [23:51] foul_owl: hmmm then you will either need to setup NAT or bridge [23:52] bob1: ever had power-on problems? My daughters eeepc 900a just went belly-up from the looks of it... [23:52] losha, here's the most resent dmesg: http://pastebin.com/d428866b9 [23:52] phix: i don't have the password, and it's not my router, so i don't want to reset it i might piss some people off [23:52] jhattara: you're just looking for the disk label (which should have been probed at boot time). No disk label === no disk detected [23:52] foul_owl, try blank passwd? [23:52] vigo you do? bu is it a mod or not? [23:52] ooo [23:52] foul_owl: try admin / password [23:52] foul_owl: admin / blank password [23:52] foul_owl, that's why you can't login; cuz it's not your router :P [23:52] losha, i'm looking for it's dev [23:52] jhattara: is that the disk? The 250GB on /dev/sdb ? [23:52] mbeierl [23:52] phix: tried those, it doesn't even ask for a username, just password [23:53] losha, yeah, that's it [23:53] quimkaos: It is a re-write, one moment, I am pulling up the docs on it. [23:53] yes, i would rather not mess with the router. i think i would like to try setting up the bridge [23:53] losha, here's the previous dmesg entry: http://pastebin.com/d19a80af0 [23:53] foul_owl, phix, it is a Belkin right? [23:53] jhattara: that's good. that means the kernel sees it on /dev/sdb. [23:53] mbeierl your eepc had startup problems ? [23:53] seaphor: yes, it is, im not gonna mess with it though [23:53] jhattara: so try sudo gparted /dev/sdb [23:53] ok foul_owl [23:53] i would really like to learn how to set up a bridge [23:54] look at #netorking [23:54] bob1: yes, first time - today. Turning on with power button results in completely black screen, no backlight, no bios, no sound, and just the "lightbulb" and "wifi" lights are on. No other activity at all [23:54] losha, "/dev/sdb: unrecognised disk label" in terminal and gparted says the drive is unallocated [23:54] quimkaos: It is a Gnome write to replace Pidgin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empathy_(software) [23:55] i would love that setting screens in ubuntu were easy [23:55] foul_owl: I told you [23:55] losha, and it had a full sized ext4 partition [23:55] foul_owl, if you have the time, read that article i think you can get away without know much about the router [23:55] ty vigo [23:55] eido: will do [23:55] read? [23:55] hello all [23:55] mbeierl try to remove your battery and clean the contacts or you already tried ? [23:55] phix: did you pastebin it? i must have missed it [23:55] i have a problem, enyone talk polish? [23:55] quimkaos: You are quite welcome. [23:55] vigo are from vigo? [23:56] losha, thanks [23:56] !pl | piotrus [23:56] piotrus: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [23:56] quimkaos: No, that was my Poppas middle name. [23:56] foul_owl: no it was simple enough to write it in IRC [23:56] jhattara: sorry, I don't use ext4. You need ext4 expert help... [23:56] ^^ [23:56] whats the terminal command to view my available wifi connections? [23:57] foul_owl: I will pastebin the /etc/network/interfaces config though [23:57] phix: just those three commands you sent me? [23:57] mQQsh, iwlist scan [23:57] phix: thanks for all your help [23:57] jack__: working now? [23:57] eido: thanks to you too! [23:57] seaphor: thanks [23:57] pls help me with memorystick from sony: I read the laptop guide of ubuntu and it is listed that with my notebook built-in slot I cannot detect sony's memorystick. is there a solution or an advice for this issue? [23:57] foul_owl: you will need to then use dhclient br0 to get an IP address [23:57] hi [23:58] foul_owl: then computers in your wired network will be able to access it [23:58] losha, are there any other log files that might have record of the drive ? it worked fine yesterday and i haven't rebooted the computer in two weeks [23:58] phix: ooookay i get it i think [23:58] what use does echo have? [23:58] phix: wait, how do i connect to my access point [23:58] phix: can i just use the gnome net manager [23:59] keepassx is the best? [23:59] foul_owl: no [23:59] foul_owl: iwconfig wlan0 essid "wireless netowkr name" [23:59] phix: gotcha [23:59] phix: this is after i set up the bridge
