[00:00] hello [00:00] SpaceCake_: yes Flash get issues in Ubuntu, and not much can be done about it since it's closed source [00:00] joaopinto, My motherboard apparently supports 4 gig [00:00] sebsebseb: no, as i sad, i formated the entire system (actually twice, it's very unlikely that i have anything besided 9.10) [00:00] @ then try another kernel with PAE [00:00] hi. does anyone know of a tool that can move (.txt) files into directories based on the first letter in their name? (example: Some Book.txt is moved to the "S" folder, This other Book.txt is moved to the "T" folder etc.) [00:00] I am using abiword. When I type there is a dot (period) under almost every character I type. Also, when I move back and forth with the arrow keys I have many black marks left by the cursor. Both issues go away after scrolling down or typing a few new lines but it is annoying. [00:00] SpaceCake_: well in Firefox issues, other browsers usauly not [00:00] i have dual booted ubuntu karmic with win7 and i get an error when i start up and can't load win7 or ubuntu [00:00] Haberdasher456, are you sure ? did you read the docs ? [00:00] joaopinto, In bios and Vista the full 4 gig is shown [00:00] i had to fiddle with some of the kernel modules to get my avi drivers to work - but i'm assuming this wouldn't have affected sound [00:00] Lutra: you don't have Ext4 though [00:00] Haberdasher456, mine does also support it phisically [00:00] sebsebseb, found it, you can enter the menu by holding shift when booting [00:00] Haberdasher456, ah ok :\ [00:01] Lutra: by default for clean install 9.10 puts on Ext4 [00:01] so the solution is to use a different browser? [00:01] Haberdasher456, are you using an AMD CPU? [00:01] thijs_: ok [00:01] @ if vista show 4g ubunt must see it [00:01] There is possible like in windows 7 (mini preview / eliipse tabs) example : http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/8396/74754754858.jpg [00:01] thijs_: good [00:01] anao, i shouldn't need PAE with a 64 OS right? === iWolf[Ubuntu] is now known as iWolf [00:01] @ ubuntu is the better system [00:01] I know, i formated ext3 the second time, because i thought it might have been the cause of the problem [00:01] CompizConfig Settings Manager > General Options > Desktop Size has three controls: Horizontal Virtual Size, Vertical Virtual Size, and Number of Desktops (hsize, vsize, and number_of_desktops, respectively). Workspace Switcher > Preferences has no corresponding control for number_of_desktops; it controls (calling them 'workspaces') the same things that hsize and vsize control. Workspaces not eq Desktops! Can anyone explain? [00:01] randomusr, no.. intel quad [00:01] * saketh needs help [00:01] Lutra: and didn't do swap? [00:02] !ask | saketh [00:02] @ yes but there are diffrent kernels [00:02] saketh: 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. :-) [00:02] I've got a problem with indicator-applet. I've removed Evolution but there's still separators -- here's what it looks like: http://tinypic.com/r/2py73uw/4 [00:02] i am using EC2 instance [00:02] Biovor3: and how do i know if i have anything muted in there?

(i've never done that before) [00:04] hello? [00:04] sebsebseb: how is it possible? can i check that it really is that way? [00:04] Does anyone know a spot to get the system specs quickly and easily in 9.10 [00:04] Lutra: you have two Ext3's [00:04] joeyeye, Completely understand Workspace Switcher. I generally use 6 workspaces. No problem there. What is 'number_of_desktops'? The answer is not 6. [00:04] @ no only install [00:04] Lutra: a swap, and an extended partition that is being used by nothing it seems [00:04] randomusr, lshw === rf-away is now known as rfmonk [00:04] Haberdasher456: sorry just as a check, does "uname -a" state it as x86_64 correctly? [00:04] aptitude serch linux-image... [00:04] Lutra: if you have two partitions one for each hard disk, that is your / partition [00:05] Lutra: that could be the issue [00:05] Lutra: maybe [00:05] joaopint, do you know the command for bios information? [00:05] arand, Linux Hostname 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:05:01 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux [00:05] something like dm bios [00:05] Lutra: plus if you have that only one of them will be controlling Grub [00:05] i'm working on installing ubuntu to an old mandriva box i run and am working on partitions - can i take an ext3 partition and make it ext4 without formatting it? === brown is now known as Guest99184 [00:05] FrozEEEn: some how yes [00:05] anao, so I can install bigmem-kernels with apt-get? [00:05] hi [00:05] Hi., I have a script that fails under cron. where can I find the error messages? I don't have postfix or mail installed (I think!) [00:05] kernel question: What happens to open files when my system returns from hibernation, but the root partition gets mounted read only because of consistency issues? [00:06] Lutra: really you want Ext4 for 9.10 also [00:06] Can applications with files already open continue to write to them? [00:06] If I set number_of_desktops to anything > 1, the switcher changes appearance; the original 6 workspace thumbnails are not shown but now desktop thumbnails are shown (which look exactly like workspace thumbnails, but are not). [00:06] sebsebseb: so it does work if i just tell it that it's an ext4 and not 3? and it'll update safely? [00:06] FrozEEEn: in fact have a look at the 9.10 release notes [00:06] trying to install 9.10 on a windows 7 machine and get this error on install "Ubi-console-setup failed with exit code 1. further information may be found in /var/log/syslog." and it wont ever make it to the drive partition screen. any idea why? it is a custom built pc that I built with asus M2N4-sli board and dual cor amd with sata 250 for os drive [00:06] !notes | FrozEEEn [00:06] FrozEEEn: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [00:06] sebsebseb: you lost me there, let me get this straight, i need to make sure i have only 1 / partition, and prefereblly ext4? [00:06] ho do i join a ceraitain irc like freedomradio [00:06] There is possible like in windows 7 (mini preview / eliipse tabs) example : http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/8396/74754754858.jpg [00:06] FrozEEEn: no you would have to convert it [00:06] sgtmattbaker: i get the same thing. i'm looking for a solution now.. [00:07] does the installe convert it when i choose ext4? [00:07] Lutra: you have two partitions both Ext3 [00:07] Lutra: maybe you have two 9.10 installs [00:07] is it possible install ubuntu on netbook asus eee series? [00:07] Lutra: you only need one 9.10 install [00:07] I have my workspaces set as hsize=3, vsize=2; if number_of_desktops=1 then Workspace Switcher shows a little 3 by 2 grid. [00:07] sebsebseb: I have 2 9.10 installs [00:07] I haven't updated my ubuntu in ages and now the apt-get can't connect to any of the multiverses [00:07] FrozEEEn: sort of.. all new files will be in ext4 and the older ones in ext3 [00:07] sebsebseb: pretty sure actually [00:07] Does anyone know a guide to updating this? [00:08] So, um, I know it's a longshot that anyone's able to help me here, but I have a Firefox process that has existed as "defunct" through several reinstallations and reboots. I can't kill -9 it, doing a find on firefox returns absolutely nothing [00:08] Hi there, my sound no longer works after upgrading to Karmic. Anyone have suggestions on how I can get it working again? [00:08] is there a way to request a new package? [00:08] How do I get my old bootsplash back? [00:08] If I set number_of_desktops=6, then Workspace Switcher shows a 6 by 1 row. [00:08] !sound | BigMao [00:08] Lutra: it's easier to delete both, and install again [00:08] BigMao: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [00:08] sebsebseb: but none of the manages to boot [00:08] trying to install 9.10 on a windows 7 machine and get this error on install "Ubi-console-setup failed with exit code 1. further information may be found in /var/log/syslog." and it wont ever make it to the drive partition screen. any idea why? it is a custom built pc that I built with asus M2N4-sli board and dual cor amd with sata 250 for os drive [00:08] hi im new to ubuntu and i was wondering if someone could help me with something [00:08] !mirrors|clemons [00:08] fallendarieus: Ask [00:08] dragon, thanks: I'll try those [00:08] sgtmattbaker: are you by chance using compiz? [00:09] !mirrors [00:09] sebsebseb: you think it will fix the problem? because it's a long install, i would like to be more sure [00:09] Here's the kicker: The second and additional desktops have no panels; they're completely empty except for the desktop background itself. There is no way to switch into them except by clicking in Workspace Switcher and no way at all to switch out without rebooting the system. This is bad. Help? [00:09] sebsebseb: anything else i should check B4? [00:09] How can i get my linux box to accept all VLAN traffic coming in on it's LAN port? [00:09] I don't think the !mirrors command is working [00:10] Cheese can't fix my "upside down" problem and I can't find much of usefull things on the ubuntu wesite. >.< [00:10] Is there any way to get the old boot splash screen back? [00:10] clemons: ok [00:10] clemons: Which version of Ubuntu are you on? [00:10] Scunizi: is there any disadvantage to just mounting a 3 as a 4? or am i better off formatting it to make it a 4? [00:10] Lutra: and yes do Ext4, and if you do manual install you can do seperate homes as well those can be useful [00:10] !home | Lutra === afink_ is now known as afink [00:10] Lutra: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [00:10] That "effect" in win7 doesnt impress me at all.. the previews could be of anything to me, they arent big/clear enough. Compiz has similar plugin [00:10] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8227292#post8227292 [00:10] or is there an advantage to just leaving it as 3?

I just need to know why i am getting the error. maybe my system just not compati [00:10] ble with linux or I am doing something wrong??? === adante_ is now known as adante [00:10] Lutra: did you do a guided install before? use entire hard disk? that would set up swap for you and a / no seperate home though [00:10] sgtmattbaker: when i disable compiz, the artifacts don't appear in AbiWord [00:10] Is there any way to reset the Indicator-Applet? [00:11] I can't install packages in pear or pecl. Using ubuntu server 9.10. Here is what I get from bash: http://paste.ubuntu.com/308037/ [00:11] wait, is there no way to just update my current distribution without upgrading ubuntu versions [00:11] clemons: Which version are you on? [00:11] After I upgraded to 9.10 ACPI died, the correct modules are in /etc/modules however they won't load, how do I fix this? [00:11] 7.10 [00:11] can you make public folders with ubuntu one? [00:11] clemons: I think the older repos kind of disappear or most of it does, when the releases no longer are supported, after a while [00:11] !7.10 | clemons [00:11] clemons: Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu.

[00:12] I don't know if i'll be able to get my network card to work on the new ubuntu [00:12] I already did the guided install, and it did not boot [00:12] clemons: try a live cd [00:12] Well, I guess i'll just have to reinstall :( [00:12] clemons: you can blacklist certain packages to NOT upgrade them (in general). Don't know how an upgrade deals with that [00:12] xiong "gnome-panel" [00:12] Hey guys, just wondering if might be able to get some help. I've installed 9.10 netbook remix on my dell mini 9. I've finally got the Broadcom STA driver to show up in "Hardware Drivers". However there is still no wireless in the drop down. [00:12] how's karmic working out for people? [00:13] clemons: but while there are mirrors of repos for 7.10 still up (you need them to bring your system up to date before upgrading and ubottu tells you how to use them) you should upgrade because security updates are no longer provided for 7.10 [00:13] !karmic | mgm [00:13] mgm: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is the current release of Ubuntu.

[00:15] hello [00:15] well i wanted to say that now if someone needs help for anything im available [00:15] I need major help! Linux was messed up so I went into XP and deleted the other partitions and then I booted into the XP cd and did fixmbr but it's still trying to load grub! [00:15] saketh: Hi [00:15] Computer is an HP a1010n by the way, so linux is hard to get it working on it [00:15] jacquesdupontd: ATI issues are common with Ubuntu since ATI's lack of support, if you got some fixed, there will be other people out there at times that come in here, that you can maybe help [00:15] mgmuscari, seems to be..ping is good...xchat opens as usual [00:15] sebsebseb: 9.10 increased my boot times, made my 3g connection screwey, firefox wont run files i download, and amsn hangs on login [00:15] tryingtoboot, Did you change your boot loader back to the ms one? [00:15] Ttech, this is a question i wanted to know i made a sudo apt-get install acpi [00:16] Ttech: I tried fixmbr [00:16] jacquesdupontd, ACPI is installed. [00:16] Kohnrad82: ah and after an upgrade? [00:16] the package that is. [00:16] :( [00:16] Question - I know I can "set" a group so that the SAME group gets auto-assigned to every file that gets created in a directory, but what about permissions? How can I "set" 775 perms on a folder so anything and everything inside gets 775? [00:16] is there an easy way for me to download packages, i keep missing dependancies. [00:16] its frustrating. [00:16] so is kubuntu any good? i haven't used it in a while [00:16] Kohnrad82: 9.10 is one that should be clean installed really, quite a lot of people have ended up with issues after upgrading from 9.04 [00:16] Lostinspace_46, gnome_panel will not execute, saying I can't replace the existing panel shell. ("Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running.") This makes perfect sense but can I override this in any way? [00:16] Lostinspace_46: maybe it's your browser [00:16] like since 6.something [00:16] Random832: matter of opinion. [00:16] sebsebseb, i know it that's so bad about that ati issue on ubuntu i have catalyst 9.10 installed and it works quite cool when you know how to set it [00:17] tryingtoboot: also try the fixboot command [00:17] my box wont connect to my wifi network. I'm on Karmic and am using network manager. The network manager icon just rotates clockwise and never stops. What happened? [00:17] sebsebseb: ill try backing up my files and doing a clean install of 9.10 when i have more time before i go back to 9.04 [00:17] mgm gonna check that...have FF 3.5 [00:17] crawler: I tried that but it said it didn't have something or other and it couldn't do it [00:17] jacquesdupontd: does catalyst 9.10 support DRI2 yet? [00:17] So am I reading this right, i should do a clean install of 9.10? [00:17] crawler: I dont think I have compiz enabled. This is a clean linux install [00:17] sebsebseb, but definetely nvidia is better even in windows i don't know the 3d is different the texture also i found nvidia more round and more hot [00:17] Lostinspace_46: i like Epiphany, which is the gnome default browser (also webkit based FTW) [00:17] mgmuscari, it seems yes i've seen some xorg with dri2 mentionned [00:17] trying to install 9.10 and get this error on install "Ubi-console-setup failed with exit code 1. further information may be found in /var/log/syslog." and it wont ever make it to the drive partition screen. any idea why?

[00:18] I got a very twitchy program installed on my server that is a bain to backup. [00:18] But I guess I shall try.

[00:19] Lostinspace_46, When I jump to the second virtual desktop, there are no panels there -- nothing at all. The only way I can figure to get back again is to create a new panel using some utility I can invoke via a hotkey, such as Terminal. But it would be nice to test this before making the jump, since if it doesn't work, it means a reboot.

[00:19] Veinor: weird bug either in ALSA or PulseAudio [00:19] mgmuscari: PCM volume is already up to 100% [00:20] and 2 25 gig on ide [00:20] jacquesdupontd: i wouldn't know, i don't follow hardware so much, but that sounds pretty cheap :) [00:20] and 2 250 gig on ide [00:20] xiong, don't know...sorry [00:20] Veinor: last time i ran into that symptom that was the cause... not sure where else to go from there.... [00:20] mgmuscari, it's seems new and i have windows seven (not that bad by the way) + ubuntu 9.10 multiboot everything working perfectly [00:20] no raid is setup [00:20] tryingtoboot, What Graphics card? If its ATI [00:20] Lostinspace_46, Don't be; you've helped, thank you. [00:20] There's a toggel you can use to make it boot better. [00:20] intel [00:20] oh. [00:20] Sorry. [00:20] Here goes. [00:20] Fixed it by turning the front mic volume down to 0. [00:20] You can try it anyway [00:20] Quick question: In ubuntu, I launched xchat through the terminal, is there a way to close the terminal without making xchat close [00:21] the 2 ide 250's are storage and the 250 sata is for os [00:21] mgmuscari, its a laptop for 190 euros nearly new with windows seven working perfectly and ubuntu as well (hopefully) [00:21] toubab, xchat & [00:21] jacquesdupontd: congrats [00:21] toubab: press ctrl-z [00:21] I moved my ubuntu server 8.04 from vmware workstation to vmware esx as well as added a virtual nic. when i do ifconfig i have no interfaces, how can i determine the name of each interface? [00:21] then type disown [00:21] mgmuscari, did you tried windows seven ? [00:21] Hey guys how do I activate a restricted driver now I have it installed? [00:21] Ttech: intel, it's an hp a1010n [00:21] gah I still can't get my webcam turned around >.< hjalp! [00:21] tryingtoboot, hmm. You look on the web? [00:21] mgmuscari, would like to test virtualization [00:21] jacquesdupontd: i'm actually planning to back up my /home, wipe my drive, and migrate to windows 7 and karmic later tonight [00:21] Ttech: Yes [00:21] davidgray: reboot if it's not activated already. [00:21] Anybody who could tell me how to solve sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a gives me this : http://pastebin.com/m46588684 How can I fix this? [00:22] jacquesdupontd, check tigerdiredt.com or newegg.com for comparisome [00:22] Ttech, I wasted a couple days without finding a working solution [00:22] i dont let the interfaces come up at bootime. /etc7init.d/networking is removed from defaults. but i see them waking up everytime i start the system. is the network manager controlling the interfaces? like, when its loading itsself? [00:22] :/ [00:22] tryingtoboot, The other option is you can leave grub installed or reinstall it [00:22] mgmuscari, first time i install a windows and all my harware reconised and installed, all of them [00:22] with like grub super disk [00:22] how to change gdm on ubuntu 9.10 karmic [00:22] ayman: Short answer: You don't. [00:23] thx Colonel_Panik [00:23] why [00:23] Colonel_Panik, did you tried it yourself ? [00:23] ayman: Long answer: Nothing's been written to do so yet. So you don't. :) [00:23] phoenixz: try running lsof to see what else has a handle on that file [00:23] Hi again, ctrl-z is not what I am trying to do. I do not want xchat to close, i just want to get rid of the terminal window but still be able to use xchat, is that possible? [00:23] ok sir and thank you [00:23] How does one determine the alias of their network card (ie: eth0) I added a virtual nic in vmware, but it does not show up under ifconfig [00:23] toubab: ctrl-z will do what you want [00:23] mgmuscari: okay [00:23] in the terminal, press ctrl-z [00:23] toubab: use alt+f2 to launch applications when you don [00:24] Lostinspace_46, That actually worked, sort of. I clicked into the second desktop, hotkey-opened a Terminal window, and $ gnome-panel, which gave me the same error. Then I pidof and kill-ed the existing panel and *immediately* my 'old' panel setup appeared there, on second desktop. But when I clicked back to first desktop, XChat is still running but no panels here! [00:24] *don't want to keep a terminal window open === bugscrsh is now known as bugscrash [00:24] There is possible like in windows 7 (mini preview / eliipse tabs) example : http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/8396/74754754858.jpg [00:24] thank you mgmuscari [00:24] and i have some problem when i paly 3gp video [00:24] Oh no, weirdness! When I clicked on desktop, my panels came back! [00:24] Colonel_Panik, talking about seven [00:24] dose magicjack work with ubuntu yet? [00:24] toubab: killing a shell that you've launched an application from will kill the application (since it's a child process - if you used & you forked it) [00:24] hi, anyone able to help me get my rt2870 wireless card working in karmic? [00:25] Yea, you understood my question mgmuscari thank you. I'll use alt-f2 to launch from now on [00:25] in jaunty i was compiling an old version of the driver, but apparently that version is no longer compatible with 2.6.31 kernels [00:25] toubab: np :) [00:25] There is possible like in windows 7 (mini preview / eliipse tabs) example : http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/8396/74754754858.jpg [00:25] graft install the latest version of ubuntu [00:25] 9.10 [00:26] !compiz | shoshana [00:26] shoshana: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [00:26] !ccsm | shoshana [00:26] shoshana: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'.

[00:27] hello. I have an ext3 /home. I know that it's possible to migrate this to ext4, but is there some way to apply all of the ext4 'magic' to all of my files, even the pre-existing ones? Thanks. [00:27] pidgin has video support too, though just for jabber [00:27] please answer my question [00:28] functionofxy: have a look at the 9.10 release notes [00:28] no sir its no voice on it [00:28] !notes | functionofxy [00:28] functionofxy: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [00:28] thanks sebsebseb [00:28] :( ubuntu is so popular dont know why all these company's over look us. we should bombard then with mail and picket there businesses for support! [00:28] mgmuscari: nothing... [00:28] hey, I was just wondering if it was possible to make public (and browseable) folders with ubuntu one? [00:28] mgmuscari: lsof | grep config.dat shows nothing [00:29] my canon i350 wont work with it either [00:29] CoLdFiRe: i don't think you're reading what i wrote [00:29] sebsebseb, this doesn't seem to say much about migrating. just warnings. [00:29] Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows how to set up a DAAP server to share with some machines running itunes [00:29] sven_oostenbrink: still won't run? [00:30] sven_oostenbrink: have you checked the permissions on the file? [00:30] Graft what did u write [00:30] mgmuscari: nope, still won't run.. Im executing this with root so I suppose permissions shouldnt be a problem [00:30] GregD: long ago there was a daapd project, but i think it's quite ancient now and may no longer work [00:30] hmm [00:31] anyone here know how to remove the sound distortions with my xfi xtreme music on karmic? [00:31] GregD: try this: http://www.fireflymediaserver.org/ [00:31] SetiAmon: bump! [00:31] I downloaded something called Tangerine Media Server [00:31] sebsebseb, i want to migrate my file system AND apply extends and all of the other nice ext4 features to my old stuff. it would be nice to be able to resize the partition as well. [00:32] graft: do you know how to install that. I am very new to ubuntu, and I had looked at the firefly media server, but was having trouble setting it up [00:32] functionofxy: it links to the Ext4 wki [00:34] GregD: erm. i've never installed it, it looks like you have to compile it [00:34] ircbreaker:you also have sound distortions?I have managed to reduce the "echo's" and really heavy stuff to a staticy distortion,I removed pulseaudio threw(check assossociated uninstalls,make sure it doesn't gauge out gnome etc) anyhow then i fallowed the instructions to update ALSA.But i still have staticy distortions,I wish i could just install the creative beta drivers like i did with jaunty [00:34] be well i m out for now [00:34] sebsebseb, i read through the section on "converting an ext3 filesystem to ext4" and it mentions that extends are not automatically applied to old files. some people online say that there is a way to do this and also make all of the other ext4 magic possible. i don't understand the language on the wiki page. could you point me in the right direction? thanks a lot! [00:35] I ran ubuntu live cd on my desktop, it said that hdd failure is imminent. SHould i install ubuntu or just run out what I have now? I dont really want to buy a new hdd right now [00:35] sven_oostenbrink: here's a thought - you sure the partition it's looking in is mounted rw? [00:35] functionofxy: I think the Ext4 wiki is the right direction, or Google. Also maye extends can't be done on a converted system [00:35] Graft: would you be willing to tell me how to go through that process? [00:35] functionofxy: its probably easier to just start over with a nice clean install of 9.10, plus anyway, quite a lot of people have had issues after upgrading 9.04 to 9.10 [00:35] To jump on the lucid bandwagoon is replacing sources currently the only way? (VBox, breakage is _intended_) [00:36] Question - I know I can "set" a group so that the SAME group gets auto-assigned to every file that gets created in a directory, but what about permissions? How can I "set" 775 perms on a folder so anything and everything inside gets 775? [00:36] mgmuscari: yes, checked it with touch [00:36] sebsebseb, i generally keep my /home and do a clean / install. [00:36] Any recommended versions of Ubuntu [00:36] thanks. i'll keep looking for info [00:36] arand, yes, I believe so. Also, #ubuntu+1 appears to be down right now. [00:36] that doesnt have as many problems as 9.10 karmic koala [00:36] sven_oostenbrink: touch updated the modified time? [00:36] Roasted, I don't think that's possible in Unix [00:37] mgmuscari: no, Just did touch /var/cache/debconf/test [00:37] wildweathel: Yea, it pops back up when the toolchain goes up... [00:37] sven_oostenbrink: perhaps the config script su's to the application's user or something and it doesn't have rw access on the file... [00:37] arand: as far as I know lucid does not even exist yet, well it might exist just about, but in that case it will be very similar to 9.10 [00:37] wildweathel - really? Its possible with samba.... I thought it'd be possible with linux too. [00:37] QUESTION: why can I not save my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? [00:37] c0ld, Jaunty is awesome. [00:37] GregD: hmm. lemme look at it [00:37] actionjunky: What editor are you using? [00:37] Roasted, look into "umask" [00:37] sven_oostenbrink: see if you can sudo touch -a the file to update the modified time [00:37] mgmuscari: no... I've had this before, I think.. and there was a way to force it.. [00:37] anyone here know how to remove the sound distortions with my xfi xtreme music on karmic? [00:38] actionjunky: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:38] actionjunk, it's locked readonly, you have to edit it as root. Care to say why you're trying to change it? X should "just work." [00:38] sebsebseb: I know, but I also panic at the thought of missing out on some juicy early breakage ;) [00:38] Ive got an issue, maybe I have the wrong flash codec, but I can't see any of the videos on ESPN.com [00:38] iWilf: I am going into the display setting and changing them and when I try to say it will not let me [00:38] actionjunky: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:38] actionjunky, did you open it with gksudo gedit... [00:38] or nano [00:38] actionjunky: are you root? [00:38] Anacranom: No [00:38] how do I change my cpu frequency? the gnome applet shows the speed but does nothing when I select a new speed. [00:38] yes [00:38] Anacranom: You need root to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:39] hey guys who is using cairo-dock ? [00:39] ummm when did that change iWolf === mattgyver[L] is now known as mattgyver [00:39] SetiAmon, Creative soundcards are kinda funky. It's possible that no one who's here now knows. You might have better luck in the hardware forum.

[00:41] Hi, how can I find and delete old/uneccesary files on my system? I need to free up some space to be able to upgrade to the newest release [00:41] I can open a root term window and edit it but I am not sure what I need to change to set my screen res from the default to something different [00:41] Anacranom: Exactly, root = sudo [00:42] I said edit using root [00:42] hey guys who is using cairo-dock ? [00:42] mgmuscari: whiptail is the TUI interface where it was waiting for user input when the SSH connection broke.. [00:42] awn [00:42] actionjunky, have you tried System -> Prefs -> Display ? [00:42] sven_oostenbrink: ah... [00:42] awn here [00:42] !root [00:42] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:42] could someone answer me i can't believe nobody here listening is not using cairo-dock [00:43] I was trying to upgrade my kernel from 8.04 to 8.10 and someone shut off my computer. When I rebooted it said I had over 1000 updates. I installed some 200 of them available, and then restarted. Now it drops to BusyBox v1.10.2 (initramfs). Any ideas? [00:43] jacquesdupontd: i think a lot of people are using Avant Window Navigator... [00:43] mgmuscari, seems it takes more performances [00:43] is there a way to make an app launcher on the upper panel to simulate a keypress? I want to to e so I can go to expose mode in compiz while I'm in table mode [00:43] mgmuscari, cause on ati card open gl is not working good [00:44] yea awn is pimp [00:44] mgmuscari, ati with all opengl dock has problem [00:44] jacquesdupontd: what driver are you using for your card [00:44] GregD: still around? [00:44] I went to system,pref, display to change it and when I goto save it I get an error saying it can not over write it [00:44] jacquesdupontd: i'm running an ATI FireGL v5700 and i have compiz + awn working very well [00:44] tophu: You can use dbus. And compiz has no expose, it's called Expo [00:44] toastedmilk, 8.04 to 8.10? Wow. It sounds like apt is confused. Do you have the computer in question available? [00:44] mgmuscari, the brand new catalyst 9.10 [00:44] jacquesdupontd: using fglrx... it's not perfect, but it works... [00:44] i have ubuntu 9.04 installed in windows 7...works superb:) Will upgrading go without troubles? I do not want to mess the grub on sturtup and to loose my win7. === spork_ is now known as Dagless [00:45] jacquesdupontd: are you sure it's actually using the ati drivers, and not the open source ati driver?

However, I can run whatever you need me to to get info. I've tried reinstalling with aptitude but it says I have to repair manually. [00:45] Hey I'm having some monitor trouble on Jaunty dealing with screen resolution can someone help out? [00:46] mgmuscari, hmm please :) i really know ubuntu a lot and all the drivers problem [00:46] GregD: okay, any experience with a shell at all? [00:46] toastedmilk, Okay, let's start it up. [00:46] tophu: check xautomation [00:46] Graft: sorry, but no === PuTrA_caem is now known as Just_andre [00:46] mgmuscari, yes i'm using it the best way and i even managed to make the vertical sync problem acceptable [00:46] GregD: dangit. know how to start one, anyway? [00:46] mgmuscari, but it's still an ati :) [00:46] jacquesdupontd: like i said, no problems with fglrx, compiz, and awn here, using all kinds of effects. only thing i don't have working is DRI2 [00:46] GregD: ever used MSDOS or something like that? [00:46] jacquesdupontd: how old is your card? [00:46] graft: do you mean a terminal session? [00:47] GregD: yeah [00:47] MrSchmo: have a look at the release notes for 9.10 your issue well [00:47] graft: I'm familiar with os x if that helps [00:47] jacquesdupontd: also, ati isn't "bad" hardware, they just don't have great linux drivers :p [00:47] graft: yes I can do that [00:47] !notes | MrSchmo [00:47] MrSchmo: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [00:47] wildweathel, ~$ [00:47] GregD: ah, okay cool. well, download this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mt-daapd/files/mt-daapd/0.2.4.2/mt-daapd-0.2.4.2.tar.gz/download [00:48] mgmuscari, i have no problem at all with compiz everything working perfectly except this dock when used with opengl settings the thing is transparency is wokring perfectly but it puts shadow around blank or non existing border of a window do you understand ? [00:48] graft: will do [00:48] mgmuscari, actually, the software they have is very good, just doesn't support all the cards that we need supported :) [00:48] VCoolio: thanks I'll try it [00:48] Hrm, just updated to 9.10, and now when things like my terminal beep it's playing a sound through the speakers attached to the audio out, instead of using the pc speaker. [00:48] toastedmilk, lol. Okay, let's "cd /etc/apt" then "less sources.lst" [00:48] GregD: oh wait, never mind, consarnit. it's in the repository... [00:48] GregD: sudo apt-get install mt-daapd [00:48] Anyone know offhand how I can turn that back to a proper beep? :) [00:48] anyone know how to set double finger tap back to middle click instead of a right click? [00:48] mgmuscari, i told you ati is really bad hardware cause even on windows i can see for the same price the difference of 3d texture and way to work with nvidia [00:48] 9.10 changed it :/ [00:49] jacquesdupontd: i see absolutely nothing wrong with ati's hardware [00:49] toastedmilk, let me think, what was that... Intrepid, right? [00:49] tophu: install xautomation and then use << xte 'keydown Super_L' 'key e' 'keyup Super_L' >> [00:49] wildweathel, yup [00:49] guys should i upgrade to 9.10 [00:49] mgmuscari, it's not that it's wrong its like loving a way to paint or another way [00:49] or should i wait for 10.XX [00:49] bonsoir tous le monde [00:49] wildweathel, ...no such file or directory [00:49] mgmuscari, i don't like how they paint 3d [00:49] toastedmilk, On the cd or less? [00:49] Mel_Gibson: Is this a big server currently sitting on 8.04.1? [00:50] jacquesdupontd, mgmuscari I've used 3 different ati cards since changing to linux and they work great with the ati drivers [00:50] mgmuscari, nvidia seems more smoothy and roundy for me [00:50] wildweathel, less sources.lst [00:50] jacquesdupontd: err... are you referring to their methods for antialiasing or something? [00:50] toastedmilk, sources.list [00:50] How can i get my linux box to accept all VLAN traffic coming in on it's LAN port? [00:50] got my apt and grub crossed... [00:50] Halitech, yes it's working pretty good except that virtual sync thing that we can fix hardly [00:50] wildweathel, whatre you looking for? [00:50] jacquesdupontd: ok, in my professional opinion, there is nothing inherently better about nvidia's architecture than ati's, but people sit around debating these fine points for hours upon hours. i also don't believe in audiophile-grade speaker cable :p [00:51] VCoolio: worked perfect thanks [00:51] Halitech: i agree with you... as soon as fglrx gets vsync and DRI2 working well, i'll be happy as a clam [00:51] this is why I love linux friendly helpfull community [00:51] anyone know about the touchpad options? Is there some sort of config file? [00:51] mgmuscari, for example but even when you look at options of how they see 3d i don't know i see the difference between a xbox and a ps3 you understand they don't reproduce 3d the same as nvidia and i prefer nvidia [00:51] toastedmilk, go ahead and pastebin it, actually. [00:52] jacquesdupontd, guess I'm not a perfectionist but I see nothing wrong with the way my screen looks :) [00:52] graft: downloading... [00:52] Ah, no, stupid [00:52] toastedmilk, Nevermind. Do they say "intrepid" [00:52] wildweathel, no, they say jaunty [00:52] Halitech, wee see it more in games but for me it's too clean and to clear in a sort of way [00:52] Hi. I have a question when someone has a moment. [00:52] toastedmilk, Well, there's you're first thing. It's trying to upgrade to jaunty now. [00:52] wildweathel, that's what I figured, but I don't know how to fix it [00:53] mgmuscari, I just popped a new HD4350 in I love it after figuring out how to stop it from going 1600x1200 which my lcd doesn't support [00:53] Razaroth: just ask.. nobody is going to pause.. there are 1500+ people here. [00:53] Halitech, well Everyobody already had problem with shadow of windows that doesn't exist in Opengl ? [00:53] Which is gonna be an issue if you change it to intrepid now. 'cuz downgrades they don't work so well. Can you live with Jaunty instead? [00:53] QUESTION: Unable to create new X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'. [00:53] jacquesdupontd, I'm not a gamer so not aware of any issues that way [00:53] actionjunky, did you do it as sudo? [00:53] Yes sir. Was wondering, as a lifelong user of Windows, how hard the transition to Linux would be, if i would enjoy it, and if it would be a fun experiment. [00:53] jacquesdupontd: i disagree... 4 years of education in computer engineering and computer science tell me that there isn't that much of a fundamental difference in hardware architecture... raster graphics are raster graphics no matter which way you render them. certain programs may exploit different chipset architectures in different ways, but that's all software dependent [00:53] graft: it is installing right now [00:53] Razaroth, the best way to do it is get Wubi. [00:53] GregD: from the repos? [00:53] I know a decent amount about computers, and was just wondering what i could look for. [00:53] wildweathel, yeah, that's what I was trying to do was upgrade. But my brother brought some stupid wench home and she shut down my computer mid-upgrade [00:54] Halitech, managed to fix everything Do you understand the thing with the shadow of border that doesn't exist on opengl application ? [00:54] actionjunky: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup should work.. ie.. use "sudo" [00:54] Ubuntu is keeping my network card on and permanently active (blinking) after shutdown. I would like my network card to be completely off after shutdown. My other OS leaves my nic off, and i don't remember having the blinking problem when i had 9.04. This is a clean install of 9.10. [00:54] Could i get a sentence long explanation of Wubi? Is it a form of linux? [00:54] wildweathel, and now my kernel is broken [00:54] that's easy what i'm asking stop comparing ati [00:54] jacquesdupontd, have to say that no, I'm not quite sure [00:54] just want to solve this* [00:54] try cairo-dock by the way it's a good dock [00:54] Razaroth: wubi is the ubuntu installer for windows and allows you to use ubuntu in a virtualized environment from within windows [00:54] Halitech, and try the opengl executable and check if it's working good [00:54] toastedmilk, Sucks. The only now is whether you want to end up with Jaunty, or fresh-install Intrepid. [00:55] Halitech, you'l see what i'm talking about [00:55] installing "samba" has installation errors in 9.10....any fix yet? [00:55] jacquesdupontd: what ati card are you running? [00:55] Razaroth: it's a form of virtual machines.. like www.vmware.com, www.virtualbox.org etc.. it creates one file that acts like a totally seperate install of an os [00:55] graft: I guess so...according to the terminal it is installed === Lobo is now known as Guest8677 [00:55] wildweathel, I want Jaunty, but I don't want to lose my files(read: music) [00:55] mgmuscari, Razaroth, Actually, Wubi installs a dual-boot, if I understand correctly. In any case, it's easy to set up and get rid of if you don't like it. [00:55] ah, okay. Ive used virtualbox before, on a brother's computer. Thank you very much. I would love to start using ubuntu, and i think ill hang around. [00:55] jacquesdupontd: fyi i have absolutely no problems with shadows on windows or anything else using an ATi FireGL v5700 (radeon hd3650), fglrx, and AWN [00:55] Hey, I have a Dell 20 inch monitor on 9.04 and it detects it as a 1600x900 screen resolution as it should, Only problem is that it seems to be unaligned and to the right of the screen is about half an inch of black space down the side, can someone help? [00:56] Razaroth: if you're looking to try ubuntu use virtualbox.. you're use to it and it works great [00:56] GregD: cool. you'll probably have to munge around with /etc/mt-daapd.conf [00:56] toastedmilk, you said your kernel is broken? What makes you think that? [00:56] Also, one more noob question. Is the driver installation as impossible in ubuntu as it is in Windows? [00:56] wildweathel: you can also run ubuntu virtualized inside windows IIRC. or maybe not, i dunno, never used it [00:56] Thank you for the advice, Scunizi. [00:56] Is it any danger with upgrading wubi installed (virtualized environment from within windows) Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10? [00:56] graft: thank you very much [00:56] Razaroth, drivers are awesome-easy. [00:56] mlourenco, i have samba installed, i didn't see any errors? [00:56] Provided they exist. [00:56] Razaroth: you'll find most things "just work".. there are exceptions.. [00:56] wildweathel, I can't run gnome, or run apt-get update from the command line [00:57] Very great to hear. I'm looking forward to this more and more. What i meant was simple things like video cards etc, but it seems my questions were answered. Thank you very much. [00:57] toastedmilk: why? [00:57] jStefan, it's samba the server not client [00:57] Also, what does an average installtion of Ubuntu take up? 5-10 gigs? [00:57] toastedmilk, Try apt-get upgrade now. === Lobo is now known as Guest97695 [00:57] Razaroth: that's why there are many volunteers here.. to get and give advice. [00:57] wildweathel, when I boot it drops to BusyBox v.1.10.2 and the prompt says (initramfs) ,and it doesn't recognize my keyboard [00:57] wildweathel, alright [00:57] mlourenco, yes i have the samba daemon running and sharing with my other PCs. [00:57] toastedmilk, Oops, won't work from initramfs. [00:57] mgmuscari, please don't ty to talk about something else try cairo-dock it takes 2 minutes and the opengl executable you'll see im' not alone to have the problem you can see it on forums [00:57] mdg, wtf you mean why? it doesn't work that's why [00:58] hi [00:58] i am trying to free up some space on my filesystem [00:58] wildweathel, nah, i loaded an old kernel image from the grub boot loader, so i can run an actual shell [00:58] to upgrade my server to the next distro [00:58] wildweathel, hold on. [00:58] what can i do in apt to remove some unused packages? [00:58] jStefan, I get an error during installation [00:58] toastedmilk: sorry, just got here - missed the history [00:58] jacquesdupontd: i've tried it before, didn't like it, installed awn. guess i can't help because i really don't want to uninstall the dock i'm comfortable with [00:58] ILL show you BOTH [00:58] Thank you everyone. I will sit around and listen to learn some more :D [00:58] stiv2k: apt-get autoremove [00:58] stiv2k, sudo apt-get clean [00:58] toastedmilk, Okay, that makes sense. You're booted the old kernel? Go ahead and try it then. [00:59] wildweathel, E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? [00:59] mlourenco, what is the error? can you pastebin it? [00:59] I have a virus on windows visita and I have linux on an external drive. I can't access vista at all because of a blue screen. what is a good virus scanner for linux I can use to scan vista [00:59] toastedmilk, At this point you need Internet access. [00:59] i should say unconfigure the dock i'm comfortable with and configure something else. want my /home to be relatively clean when i install 9.10 later [00:59] just got done with the upgrade to 9.10 .. rebooting in 3... 2.....1..... [00:59] VCoolio: Halitech: what about aptitude? [00:59] toastedmilk, argh. But you should run apt-get update then apt-get upgrade. [00:59] wildweathel, and all above that I have a bunch of "Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com...." "could not resolve (url)" [00:59] http://front1.monsterup.com/up.php [00:59] wildweathel, well, the thing is, it did this before too [00:59] look you gonna understand [01:00] stiv2k, apt, aptitude, dpkg, all do the same thing [01:00] bad link [01:00] cntryboy: clamav [01:00] stiv2k: no use, aptitude automatically removes dependencies for packages you uninstalled, so no 'trash' left [01:00] wildweathel, I haven't changed anything yet, so why should it do anything different from before? [01:00] http://www.clamav.net/ [01:00] With Ubuntu 9.10 how can I select which users will show up in the GDM login screen? With 9.04 I could select them so only the most common users would show up; but with 9.10 they're all showing up and the tool to select the list has either moved or is gone. [01:00] thx [01:00] hii all [01:00] wildweathel, however I'll run it and be right back if you think that's the best course of action [01:00] np [01:01] Does UBUNTU work well when installed to a PS3? Currently i was using Yellow Dog, But i was also considering switching. [01:01] tux not work on OSS!! [01:01] toastedmilk, Ah, good point. I'm trying to think of why apt-get update is failing, though. I don't really know. [01:01] iB hpijs-ppds - HP Linux Printing and Imaging - HPIJS PPD files [01:01] what does the B mean here [01:01] Tux Racer not work on oss [01:01] Razaroth, it's not official, but it might. [01:01] mlourenco, i installed the server via the "ubuntu software center" searching for samba, which found package system-config-samba. Then i just created a share. it was pretty transparent for me. [01:01] what to do? [01:01] wildweathel, can you ping any websites? [01:01] Yes, why? [01:01] wildweathel, That's what I thought. So I went into aptitude, and tried to reinstall things like linux-generic and such. It said it couldn't do it and that I should try to fix the packages manually [01:01] what to do? [01:01] Tux Racer not work on oss [01:01] wildweathel, but I have no idea how to use dpkg [01:02] Tux Racer not work on oss i cant get audio [01:02] toastedmilk, try for a clean apt-get update before you do anything else. === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [01:02] wildweathel, alright, I'll try it, and be back with results. [01:02] Also, final question: Ubuntu has no problems with running on a netbook format, correct? I'm assuming its a lot easier than a new installation of windows. [01:02] wildweathel, just noticed you aren't the one having trouble updating, that question should have been for toastedmilk [01:03] Razaroth: try the netbook remix [01:03] Ubuntu 9.10 is keeping my network card on and permanently active (blinking) after shutdown. I would like my network card to be completely off after shutdown. My other OS leaves my nic off, and i don't remember having the blinking problem when i had 9.04. This is a clean install. [01:03] Can the UBUNTU netbook remix be installed through a USB drive? [01:03] HAVE you SEEN ? [01:03] yes Razaroth, that's the idea [01:03] http://front1.monsterup.com/up.php [01:03] Thank you very much. [01:03] mgmuscari, [01:03] there's a page about it [01:03] Halitech, give me a ping, coz I tried "http://security.ubuntu.com" and it said it was an invalid host [01:03] jacquesdupontd: Why do you keep pointing out that URL? [01:03] Halitech, but I'll be right back [01:03] jacquesdupontd: that's a bad link [01:04] toastedmilk, wait! [01:04] Tux Racer not work on oss i cant get audio [01:04] Tux Racer not work on oss i cant get audio [01:04] toastedmilk, ping google.com [01:04] wildweathel, yo. [01:04] !repeat | i-pink [01:04] Halitech, rofl, why didn't i think of that === Obtrix is now known as Bhavic [01:04] toastedmilk, you don't have network access, then. [01:04] what to do? [01:04] wildweathel, so......WTF [01:04] toastedmilk, if that fails, try ping 74.125.67.100 [01:04] toastedmilk, perhaps because that stupid Networkmanager doesnt... [01:05] Hold on a sec, I'm gonna figure out how to auto config networking. [01:05] Halitech, roger that [01:05] without networkmanager [01:05] wildweathel, waiting patiently! Appreciate it! [01:05] toastedmilk, sudo dhclient ethX .. change X to your nic [01:05] i-pink: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [01:05] jStefan, i posted the error here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/db3c3e43 [01:06] anyone online ? [01:06] no [01:06] halitech, written down!

Yeah, I think dhclient eth0 will setup networking. [01:07] i already tried it but all i get is a colored screen [01:08] wildweathel, brb! [01:08] Halitech, brb! [01:08] good luck! [01:08] mlourenco, check /var/log/syslog and the logs on /var/log/samba for any explicit errors [01:08] anyone know why I can only connect one client to an smb server - new install - do you have to tell it there will be more than one client? [01:08] i remember id did work on ubuntu but looks like now it doesn't anymore [01:09] whoops, left the room with the commands still in it! [01:09] right i have ndiswrapper installed but when i do ndiswrapper -l it should nothing at all. [01:09] Ubuntu is keeping my network card on and permanently active (blinking) after shutdown.

I think. [01:10] chmod filename od3n [01:10] TonyTheTiger, have you checked the restricted drivers? [01:10] filename or wildcard [01:10] od3n, sudo chmod. just be careful which file you are changing permissions on ;) [01:10] Dagless: Throw out the solution.

[01:12] !kernel | eswenson [01:12] eswenson: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages === [o_O] is now known as danopia` [01:12] i'm trying to enable compiz fusion and i dont see the "desktop effects" option in system -> preferences [01:13] lifestream, if you are using the advanced desktop effects, try installing the advanced compizconfig settings manager (ccsm) [01:13] [0_o] [01:13] FrozEEEn-Solid: System --> Preferences --> Appearances [01:13] FrozEEEn-Solid, it's under "appearances" [01:13] TonyTheTiger, your ethernet isn't working? What sort of card is it? lspci should give its exact name. [01:13] TonyTheTiger, plug in a ethernet cable temporarily?, take to a friend's house? something, it wont take long [01:13] So, um, I know it's a longshot that anyone's able to help me here, but I have a Firefox process that has existed as "defunct" through several reinstallations and reboots. I can't kill -9 it, doing a find on firefox returns absolutely nothing [01:13] im very impressed with UNR. I'm actually more impressed with UNR than the actuall 9.10 full desktop release [01:13] **new question** How do I install an irc server on ubuntu server edition [01:14] jStefan, on syslog I found: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d5522b65 [01:14] cellae: look for it using lsof [01:14] jStefan, hey, my question stated that I already tried to disable it there [01:14] Michael123: #ubuntu-server [01:14] TonyTheTiger, wait, eth0 not working? [01:14] Michael123, I'd start by opening up Synaptic and searching for irc, see what's available. Then research them. [01:14] man it's so weird moving from mandriva to ubuntu - ubuntu feels very watered down as far as settings/configuration ui goes [01:14] wildweathel its a broadcom bcm4306 wifi and ethernet controller is bcm5751 [01:14] Which one are you using? [01:14] lifestream, sorry miss-read you [01:14] ubottu: I do need to compile the kernel and make changes to various modules. I've successfully compiled the kernel and run my recompiled kernel, but need to ask a follow-up question on how to rebuild just the modules I need and not the whole kernel each time I make changes.

[01:15] it's awesome for a linux newbie i guess, but i have no idea where the heck anything is :< [01:15] TonyTheTiger, ether is more likely to work. [01:15] wildweathel im not sure what you mean which one am i using, i havent specified either but neither have worked. [01:15] lifestream, i usually disable bindings there by searching with each feature, never had a problem not finding one [01:15] within* [01:15] FrozEEEn-Solid, what can't you find? [01:16] TonyTheTiger, well, I think you should try to get the ethernet one working first, since it'll be easier. Can you plug it in and still stay in chat? [01:16] anyone know what does "AT SPI Registry Wrapper" do? i have many at startup [01:16] wildweathel hmm yes i can [01:16] jStefan, I can find them. I disabled them them there. it keeps doing that [01:16] mlourenco, try ls -l /etc/samba/smb.conf [01:16] FrozEEEn-Solid is having trouble finding his ass with both hands [01:17] lifestream, dont know more :( [01:17] Aww thanks anyway :( [01:17] upgraded ubuntu 9.04 install that was dual booting with Vista and now boots straight to ubuntu without choice of Vista, any suggestions?

[01:22] gutsy: MAC Address are assigned by hardware manufacturers. [01:22] leaf-sheep: Ok, I'll try #linux and #kernel. Are these ubuntu/debian-specific, or www.kernel.org-general, because my question is about debian/rules (the ubuntu/debian build process). [01:22] I did twice [01:22] gutsy, i know you can do it for intel cards, just need to add a line to /etc/network/interfaces/ should work for all cards as well. Search wikipedia for "spoof mac address" [01:22] is there any different in kernel configurations between ubuntu server and desktop?

[01:23] eswenson: I do not know the answer. :3 [01:23] gutsy, the MAC address is hardcoded into the card, you can't change it and you are just using software to spoof it so routers and the like think you have a different one, only true way to change it is to change the card [01:23] user_: yes [01:23] or is the only difference in packages installed by default?

[01:23] Just a new line [01:23] are there any rt2860 drivers for 2.6.31? my wifi on my eee box keeps acting up and the newest i could find would only support 2.6.29 [01:23] user_: desktop uses -generic and server uses -server kernels. Read the package descriptions and debian/rules for differences [01:23] leaf-sheep it's not letting me drag it [01:24] joeyeye, just sh:grub> [01:24] FrozEEEn-Solid: Hold ALT and drag it.

[01:25] Aldursil, You'll need to set up samba. [01:25] Hey, im looking for a GUI based program like Dev C++, but for linux (ubuntu). Anyone know any good ones, basic linux and C knowledge. [01:25] krankzinnig, type roothd(0, and tell me what you see [01:25] could you flash the firmware to change the mac address or is it literally hard coded and can't be changed? [01:25] leaf-sheep: i know that, but i have one of my system (ipod touch) registered with a wifi network and i'm unable to register another because it has linux OS on it and in order to register i need windows and i'm too lazy to install windows just to register my system [01:25] hi [01:25] jbuncher: Not to browse Windows machines. [01:25] has anyone here had some major issues with grub2? [01:25] tonsofpcs: Any bluetooth adapters should work. [01:25] Aldursil: Places->Network->Windows Network doesn't help? [01:25] krankzinnig, sorry my bad type root(hd0, and tell me what you see [01:25] leaf-sheep: I have one here that proves otherwise. [01:25] wgrant, won't he at least need the client? [01:25] jbuncher: The client is installed by default. [01:25] jStefan, works! Thanks alot bud. [01:26] jbuncher: And has been for maaaaany years. [01:26] leaf-sheep: thanks. I'll keep looking. [01:26] HI [01:26] tonsofpcs: What specifically problem? [01:26] missing ')' [01:26] Mallen_, eclipse [01:26] eswenson: No problem. Good luck!

[01:26] wgrant, alrighty. didn't know it was in by default [01:26] Hi folks, just look for some help with an issue i am having with grub2 not getting past the loading grub stage [01:26] leaf-sheep: it's a POS and barely works in the OS it has drivers for, yet alone others :) [01:26] UnNaturalHigh: Yea, but i can not figure out how to compile and run the program while using eclipse. Lol [01:26] Aldursil: What if you press Ctrl+L in a file browser and type "smb://someserver/someshare"? [01:26] do i need to install a C++ compiler === Rubia21sexy is now known as samantha21 [01:26] When I start up my computer I get this "FATAL: Error inserting it87 [0x295-0x296] conflicts with ACPI region IP__ [0x295-0x295]" how do I fix it? [01:27] Mallen_, google (the oracle) will help you [01:27] wgrant: I can see them with the ip addres, just not by browsing [01:27] krankzinnig, sorry my bad type root(hd0, and tell me what you see [01:27] aye, been on there for the past hour, turned here when it was failing [01:27] alguien que hable español ?

[01:27] tonsofpcs: The bluetooth adapter? I bought mine off eBay. I plugged it. I installed the bluetooth-related packages and set up for identify/connection. It ran beautifully. [01:27] samantha21, #ubuntu-es [01:27] leaf-sheep: yes, the one i have now [01:28] mlourenco, your welcome [01:28] Ola [01:28] krankzinnig, so far you have 2 devices that may be bootable ... loop0 and hd0 [01:28] tonsofpcs: Sounds same as the one you described -- Tiny arc-thing. Care to show me the link? I'll confirm if we have the same item. [01:28] Mallen_, do you have build-essential installed? [01:28] Partition hd0,1: Filesystem type ntfs, Label Systen Reserved [01:28] I have tried following this document https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 and repairing grub2 but it stops working after next shutdown, i have also tried removing grub2 and installing grub but grub2 still seems to be installed [01:28] Partition hd0,2: Filesystem type ntfs [01:28] UnNaturalHigh: Let me check [01:28] leaf-sheep, tonsofpcs the one from dealextreme.com? is that the one you talking about [01:28] joeyeye, I left out the UUID's, need them> [01:28] anyone know about the ffado-mixer-qt4 package? it's preventing me from updating. [01:28] krankzinnig, we're now looking for the partitions on hd0 ... [01:29] Any idea? [01:29] wgrant: using the smb command comes up with the same error. [01:29] usser: I'm checking my ebay history. [01:29] How do I do that? [01:29] krankzinnig, which partition are we going to try to boot from ? [01:29] Hi Im trying to disable moves window and gives menu. I've disabled it in Keyboard Shortcuts and compiz-ccsm but it still happens! [01:29] Not a clue, my non Windows one [01:29] leaf-sheep, something like that http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11866? [01:30] leaf-sheep: i don't have a tiny arc thing currently, i have a weird green translucent plasticy thing [01:30] hey all.. can anyone tell me what I need to do to start diagnosing why my ubuntu box keeps rebooting? what log file should I be looking at? [01:30] leaf-sheep, scratch the "?" at the end of the link [01:30] grum_, grub2 is an epic failure in my opinion, that being said I just uninstalled grub2 about 10 minutes ago with those instructions - it worked great! [01:30] jbuncher: i have been able to spoof my mac address using the following commands: sudo ifconfig wlan0 down hw ether MACADDRESS and sudo ifconfig wlan0 up but i want it to be permanent so i don't need to run the commands each time i connect to this network [01:30] krankzinnig, which is it ? partition 0 or 1 ? [01:30] Cainus: all of them. sstart with syslog. [01:30] Cainus, have you checked your ram by using memtest from a live cd? [01:30] [and messages] [01:30] UnNaturalHigh: Could not locate, build-ess, in package man [01:30] Halitech: naw it's a VPS [01:30] how would i go about setting .exe files to be executed by wine when i double click them? [01:30] Mallen_, sudo apt-get install build-essential [01:30] I think 1, if it goes in order of which is installed [01:30] right now archive manager tries to open it when i double click [01:31] tonsofpcs: I have that item. :) [01:31] leaf-sheep: hmm? [01:31] tonsofpcs: Well -- What problem are you having exactly? [01:31] usser: I have that item. [01:31] krankzinnig, where do you think ubuntu is installed ? /dev/sd1 or /dev/sda2 ? [01:31] UnNaturalHigh: Installing [01:31] Zeus2, right click on the file, open with-> custom application type wine, put a checkbox on do this from now on [01:31] krankzinnig, where do you think ubuntu is installed ? /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2 ? [01:31] tonsofpcs: You have a different adapter then. What problem? [01:31] leaf-sheep, it works great, for 2$ bucks :) [01:32] gutsy, did you try finding that wikipedia entry? I used it at one point to edit the /etc/interfaces or /etc/network/interfaces file. It also looks like you can right-click on the network-manager applet and go to "edit connections" and just edit the MAC address in there. [01:32] tonsofpcs: I see: Nov 2 06:25:16 ubuntu syslogd 1.5.0#1ubuntu1: restart. [01:32] To guess, I would say 2 [01:32] usser: And it is concel [01:32] Cainus: and above that? [01:32] usser: And it is concealable* -- Great! :0 [01:32] UnNaturalHigh: anything special to uninstall grib2 and install grub? does grub need to be on the mbr of the first hard drive? [01:32] UnNaturalHigh: Installed, going to retry compiling, unless there is another stip [01:32] step* [01:32] leaf-sheep: it refuses to pair with a lot of things [01:32] tonsofpcs: nothing.. .that's the top line [01:32] HELP - so i installed a fresh (clean) copy of 9.10 and have no sound on my asus p5pkl-cm, any clues? worked fine on 9.04 [01:32] Cainus: check syslog.0, .1,.2, ...? [01:33] hi everyone~ [01:33] i have an Open with Other Application... but when I use that, there is no check box to do this from now on [01:33] guys how can i change the permissions on the encyrpted looking drive? http://pastebin.com/m7864de95 [01:33] any ideas? [01:33] after coaxing it to pair with something, it will fail on PINing, I've gotten it past that point once and then it took my system down when i tried doing the second file transfer [first worked, oddly]. [01:33] tonsofpcs: I have bluetooth, gnome-bluetooth, libbluetooth3, libgnome-bluetooth7-dev ---- That's all relating to bluetooth. [01:33] tonsofpcs: Is those packages installed for you as well? [01:33] grum_, I followed the instructions on the page exactly as is [01:34] * The timer interrupt is 100 Hz in the Server Edition and 250 Hz in the Desktop Edition. <-- what's the difference? [01:34] leaf-sheep: it's a hardware issue, not a software issue. It performs the same in Windows most of the time as well, which is why I was asking for confirmed working hardware [01:34] err, what kind of difference would that make [01:34] jbuncher: thanks [01:34] hi [01:34] tonsofpcs: I see. I suppose you could purchase a different bluetooth adapter -- Like the one that usser and I am currently using. No issues at all! [01:35] leaf-sheep: right, that's why I was asking for a model that works :) [01:35] any takers on no sound on 9.10 (fresh install)? [01:35] when I tried to install r-base on ubuntu 9.10, it says "Media change: please insert the disc labeled 'Ubuntu 9.10 _Karmic Koala_ - Release i386 (20091028.5)' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter", anyone know how can I get around this? my laptop does not have a cdrom... [01:35] krankzinnig, ok so type root (hd0,2) then type kernel /boot/vmlinuz [01:35] tonsofpcs: syslog.0 starts with a 6:30 restart on the previous day... [01:35] tonsofpcs: >:}~ [01:35] Mallen_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingCompilers [01:35] Cainus: and ends with? [01:35] shine1, you'll have to cancel and remove the cdrom as a source for apt [01:35] UnNaturalHigh: THank you! [01:35] tonsofpcs... oh good question [01:35] tonsofpcs, http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11866 this one works [01:35] anyone know why I can see a windows machine with an ip address but not when I try and browse the network with Nautilus? [01:35] Mallen_, np! [01:36] mm i might try deleting the whole grub directory and reinstalling grub, failing that reinstalling 9.04 [01:36] Aldursil, maybe it hasn't been mounted? [01:36] ptarrant, my sound worked ok but the proprietary broadcom drivers wouldn't install properly for my wifi card [01:36] joeyeye, the second line does nothing when I press tab [01:36] Blanks_, thanks for help, I am pretty new to ubuntu, could you give me a more detailed instruction? Thanks a lot~ [01:36] Aldursil, most likely its a DNS issue, you can try installing bind9 on your machine [01:36] krankzinnig, [01:36] tonsofpcs: a daily cron :\ could I have a daily reboot in my cron? how could that get in there? [01:36] Aldursil, nautilus had a bug regarding that, maybe they haven't fixed it yet [01:36] Aldursil, ahh sorry i misread your question actually [01:37] slimindiej, all my hardware is working fine, and sound worked fine in Jaunty, but 9.10 is a no go (after 2 installs) [01:37] grub2 is a pos [01:37] joeyeye, ? [01:37] hm, that would suck. heh [01:37] krankzinnig, ok so reset back to: root (hd0,1) then kernel /boot/vmlinuz we're trying to find your partition and kernel [01:37] grum_: i agree [01:37] ptarrant: same here for my wifi card in jaunty. i actually had to reinstall jaunty and upgrade to get it working again, the fresh install wouldn't work. [01:38] hi there [01:38] ptarrant: desktop, server, or unr? [01:38] slimindiej, i tried an upgrade and it crapped out, hence why i did a fresh install [01:38] desktop [01:38] Hi, anyone is having any trouble with ubuntuone?, I'm struggling to sync my files. I'm behind a firewall, maybe I need to open some ports... can anyone tell me... thanks... [01:38] When I start up my computer I get this "FATAL: Error inserting it87 [0x295-0x296] conflicts with ACPI region IP__ [0x295-0x295]" how do I fix it? [01:38] hi all [01:38] joeyeye, once again it does nothing when I press tab :/ [01:39] Ubuntu can be added to a windows boot up, correct? (For instance, you can do a tri boot between XP, Vista, and Ubuntu)? [01:39] ptarrant: yikes [01:39] slimindiej, yea [01:39] Razaroth, yes [01:39] krankzinnig, ok do same but with root (hd0,0) first [01:39] Thank you halitech. [01:39] oh well cheers anyway [01:39] slimindiej, here i thought i was getting pretty good at troubleshooting ubuntu... [01:39] I was wondering if someone might help me out - I'm trying to set up a user account which boots into a CLI without X. I've tried googling and searching through the net but the discussions im finding assume that I already have a cli environment set up. Can anyone help, or point me towards some reference material? [01:39] what causes linux to do this? http://www.pkill-9.com/wayno/pics/linux_9.10_weird.png [01:39] joeyeye, says no such partition... [01:39] hi mstrzele [01:39] ptarrant: i had better luck with updating after the 9.10 final came out than i did with the beta or the rc for what it's worth [01:39] krankzinnig, what is the loop0 device ? [01:40] vis, I'm not sure if you can do autologin via the term [01:40] cli [01:40] ptarrant: at some point i attribute problems to linux voodoo [01:40] hello guys [01:40] Hi, i ve got an x64 machine and i d like to emulate other architectures. What is a good software to do that? i think virtualbox cant [01:40] slimindiej, LOL yea seems like that don't it ;) [01:40] Ttech: Would I need to disable the graphical boot? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [01:40] hi mzawieska [01:40] ptarrant: do I need to do anything after installing bind9 to see if that fixed it? [01:40] Good, another Phillies fan. ;) [01:40] I need program that I will put all my mpeg movie file into one dvd and be able to choose which movie I want to play. Like a Menu? [01:41] vis, What? the cli does not have any ability to auto login [01:41] i guess i'm going to be reinstalling 9.04 then :) [01:41] scarby u polish? [01:41] I have a non technical question... [01:41] krankzinnig, what is the loop0 device ? [01:41] vis, what are you trying to do? [01:41] mzawieska, devede [01:41] ptarrant: i know this is an ubuntu-centric channel to mention this in, but have you tried mint? [01:41] hi all newbie here with a problem with 9.10, are there rule in asking for help? [01:41] Blue1, Ah, you don't happen ot have a while loop there? [01:41] no, UK [01:41] andy_39_dev, just ask [01:41] hi Blank_, I got it work, thank you so much for the heads up!! [01:41] Aldursil, i have only done this twice, and am no expert but i am pretty sure you have to point all your windows boxes to your ubuntu machine for DNS [01:41] krankzinnig, PM me [01:41] Halitech I know I am using devede [01:41] Ttech: nope... [01:41] but I converted the avi file into mpeg [01:41] Aldursil, hold on, i'll find the link i found the info at [01:42] I don't want auto login - I want either the machine to boot into a CLI, which I can then login to for seperate xsessions for each user, or for X to quit when I login as a particular user :) [01:42] Fromw hat I understand, companies must purchase a license from Microsoft to provide fat and fat32 support. If that's true, who purchased the license for all the linux distros? The parent company of the distro? [01:42] so once again i can put the mpeg file togather? [01:42] ptarrant, thanks [01:42] mzawieska, it should work with mpeg, divx, avi [01:42] slimindiej, in theory it shouldn't mater should it? === mstrzele is now known as mstrzele_ [01:42] anyone know if there is a way of performing the nvidia-settings tweaking of external displays from the command line? [01:42] ok thanks. installed 9.10 as upgrade on 9.04 and cups seems to cause my hp printer to hang and the cpu to max out at 100% === mstrzele_ is now known as mstrzele [01:42] Does anyone knows wich ports do I need to open to use ubuntuone ? [01:42] Aldursil, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto <-- that should help ya [01:42] printing only gives out about half a page === eboysr is now known as eboyjr [01:42] no, but mint is much less adherent to the "only open source" motto and sometimes has better out-of-box support for devices that require proprietary drivers [01:42] ptarrant, thanks, I'll check that out. [01:42] hey... has anyone else seen this issue with an ubuntu box rebooting daily at 6:25? I've read about it in a few spots, but can't find the reason [01:43] I've just installed 9.10 from 9.04.... damn, had a few hiccups, but it sure looks good. [01:43] Aldursil, np ;) [01:43] OLa alguien ke hable español [01:43] halitech. devede tells me wrong the ration of the avi file that will take the space of the dvd [01:43] mbeierl, I think what you want is nvidia-xconfig, though I'm not sure. [01:43] vis, You can like do GDM and if you want cli ctrl+shift + f2 or such [01:43] ptarrant: no, but mint is much less adherent to the "only open source" motto and sometimes has better out-of-box support for devices that require proprietary drivers [01:43] mzawieska, you can adjust it [01:43] Cainus: I had a set of speakers that only worked after 7:30pm. They were after dinner speakers. [01:43] I'm drawn towards the KDE desktop though :) [01:43] heheh [01:43] vis, But that will take you out of X [01:43] hlitech, lets say I am converting the avi file to mpeg and it tells me it uses 87% of the dvd 4.7 gig [01:43] jbuncher: I don't want to rewrite the xconfig, I'd like to toggle the external monitor without having to invoke the nvidia-settings gui and clicking a bunch... [01:43] slimindiej, didn't need proprietary drivers for 9.04, its just a VIA chipset, the only thing that was giving me issues (driver wise) was my ATI, which is another can of worms LOL as always with ATI and linux [01:44] jbuncher: thanks, either way, though [01:44] but then X will be running in a seperate terminal, right? I want the option of not having it run at all, if it's possible [01:44] Snump, being outside of the scope of this channel, I'm going to say this thtat is untrue since the patent on them expired years ago [01:44] ptarrant: oy, yeah i'm surprised the sound is the problem with 9.10 [01:44] mbeierl, what do you mean by "toggle the external monitor"? [01:44] Could some one tell me what do I need to do to save an edited file in linux???? It's not letting me save after adding a code line. [01:44] halitech, after creating the mpeg i go to properties it says the file is 2.7gig [01:44] Cainus: I'm not sure what's so magical about 6:25pm. Maybe a power surge ad somebody turns off machinery in your area? [01:44] krankzinnig, I have to go out ... will be back. I think your menu.lst is jacked ... but don't have enough info as yet [01:44] souler: any error message? [01:44] souler, that depends on the editor [01:44] anyone else seen printing fail totally after installing 9.10..all good in 9.04? [01:44] syn-ack: that's what I thought. 12 years, right? [01:44] slimindiej, yep, shocked me, hence why i thought it was a bad install and did another install [01:44] it's just a text file. [01:44] vis, If you don't want x why not go with a server edition? [01:44] souler: how did you open the file? [01:44] Snump, 20 [01:44] Double clicked it. [01:44] andy_39_dev, /var/log? [01:45] mzawieska, when you select the file, you can go to advanced and make changes or, once you hace all your files selected, click the button that says auto adjust [01:45] souler: what file? [01:45] I'd really like the option of either [01:45] Snump: but the log files show a restart... I don't know how it would have time to write a log [01:45] Snump, at least in the USA [01:45] syn-ack: what about fat32? or does fat32 fall under fat12/fat13? [01:45] asla-base.conf [01:45] !who | souler [01:45] souler: 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 :) [01:45] jbuncher: turn external monitor on laptop on and off (dual monitor when docked, single when undocked) [01:45] souler: I assume you mean /etc/alsa-base.conf or something? [01:45] jrib, yes [01:45] snump: a few other people have had the same issue [01:45] Snump, its a derivative work [01:45] slimindiej, wanna know whats really messed up? [01:45] ptarrant: 9.10 release version has been so-so for me in that regard. i'm less impressed than i was with jaunty, though i do appreciate the updates to the unr interface [01:45] Cainus: that's seems very oddball... Stumped me! [01:46] !tab [01:46] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [01:46] syn-ack: then what about fat64? aka: exFAT? [01:46] slimindiej, i have the same machine at work, and its running 9.10 fine, sound and all [01:46] Hi just wanted to let people now that a Radeon 7000 (RV250) chipset works with copmpiz on karmic if you enable KMS. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1261990 Please look at this post. It solved my problems [01:46] souler: your user only has permissions to his HOME. When editing things outside of your HOME, you must use sudo. For example: gksudo gedit /etc/alsa-base.conf [01:46] !sudo > souler [01:46] mbeierl, ah, ok. I don't know if there's anything like that for nvidia, unless they support the xrandr extensions. I don't think that works if you've set up the monitors through xinerama though. [01:46] souler, please see my private message [01:46] ptarrant: that's bizarre [01:46] Snadder, probably something completely different [01:46] When I start up my computer I get this "FATAL: Error inserting it87 [0x295-0x296] conflicts with ACPI region IP__ [0x295-0x295]" how do I fix it? [01:46] thanks [01:46] both of you. [01:46] halitech, ia m tryin to put few mpeg movie files into devede [01:46] jbuncher: I've not used xinerama, just the nvidia twinview config [01:46] which log am i supposed to be looking at? (newbie remember) [01:46] slimindiej, think my ATI card having HD audio output could be causing issues? [01:47] Ttech, when do you get that error message. [01:47] mzawieska, shouldn't be any different then putting a bunch of avi files into it [01:47] my sound seems to only partially work. I have posted a bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/381297 (see reddaly) [01:47] slimindiej, like maybe its getting confused? i manually set which sound output i wanted per pref->sound but that didn't help [01:47] Halitech, as i am doing it for each of the file i have to create title to be able to choose which movie i want to play at the start of the menu? [01:47] Ah at boot, and after I disabled at modprobe, jbuncher [01:47] mbeierl, ok. Just read the nvidia docs and the xrandr docs I guess, that's all the info I have. [01:47] did anybody have a problem with ext4 and ubuntu 9.10? today I lost the root partition with zillion errors wiht inodes during fsck. during mounting an "no journal" error appears. recreating journal using tune2fs didn't help. [01:47] so there is no way of completely exiting X at the login screen of 9.10? [01:47] Ttech, what did you disable at modprobe? [01:47] mzawieska, yes, add a new title and add each file to a seperate title [01:47] why would sound not work in flash videos but work in the sound test in "System > ..." [01:47] ptarrant: certainly possible. multiple audio output options doesn't seem to settle well in most cases [01:47] jbuncher: thanks... that [01:47] vis, You can switch out of it but it'll still be running. [01:48] Halitech, the thing is i didnt want to put bunch of avi file into it because it told me the wrong ratio of the dvd usage [01:48] jbuncher, nothing, tried to enable it87 [01:48] jbuncher: that's where I'm hitting a wall... [01:48] But got that instead [01:48] syn-ack: exfat/fat64 would solve alot of my problems if it were cross platform. ntfs-g is slow and doesn't provide diagnostic/repair. I have corrupted too many NTFS jump drives thanks to pulling out early. (nickle for everytime I had that problem) [01:48] slimindiej, at work i don't have the ATI card on the machine at work, so thats the only variable...i think thats it [01:48] my numpad 0 only works as 'insert' since koala upgrade, any idea how to remedy?? [01:48] how would I go about disabling the graphical login then? [01:48] mzawieska, so use your mpeg files, same principle for either type of file [01:48] Ttech, so you booted, then when you modprobe it87, the errors shows up? [01:48] ptarrant: i'd wager that's your culprit then. if you have an on-board video option try ripping out the ati card and see if it persists. [01:48] jbuncher, When I booted with the it87 in /etc/modules I get htat as well [01:49] dibs: do the numbers on your numpad work? [01:49] Snadder, thats why you dont use NTFS on thumb drives [01:49] slimindiej, same everything, i built this machine because i loved the one at work so much :P only added the ATI for gaming which i can't get away with at work so... lol [01:49] And sensors do not work either. [01:49] dibs: [01:49] Halitech, for example i added one file mpg and it told me 47% of 4.7 gb dvd [01:49] They do [01:49] Ttech, what is the it87 module for? [01:49] all except for 0 [01:49] slimindiej, yep, thats what im thinking, i got on-board vid just for this case :P [01:49] jbuncher, sensors [01:49] Halitech, is theere a way to shrink it and get the same effect and quality of the movie? [01:49] Is chromium-browser safe on Ubuntu? [01:49] Dhuski, Well it works, via PPA [01:50] repos [01:50] Ttech, sorry, no idea then. Could just be a bug in the module with your board. If you've googled and found nothing I'd report it as a bug. [01:50] mzawieska, ignore that crap, its not accurate, I've had upwards of 300% usage, clicked the auto adjust button and gotten a 3.9gig dvd [01:50] jbuncher, well it worked in 9.04 but after the upgrade it stopped. [01:50] Help! My sound card doesn't seem to work all the way. It's a VIA VIA VT1708B 8-Ch and Google is totally inconclusive [01:50] Is anyone else having errors getting things out of the repository? i am getting this http://pastebin.com/d5634127e [01:50] But thanks for trying jbuncher [01:50] slimindiej, yep, i'll be doing that and then throw in my ATI and see if its the issue... thanks for letting me bounce ideas of ya and your input :) [01:50] Ttech, then report it as a regression :) [01:50] Ttech, What I mean is that does it have the same security issues google chrome did on windows? Or is it as stable and secure as firefox? [01:50] mzawieska, and the quality was fine as long as my original files were good quality [01:50] I'm getting create floppy devices[178]: specified group 'floppy' unknown when booting to an alt karmic disc [01:50] I've found what I'm looking for =) [01:50] jbuncher, mhm. [01:51] Halitech, i clicked adjust disc usage and it told me 78% now [01:51] Dhuski, I'd assume the same or similar, but you'll have to look at the site for htat one, [01:51] Anyone able to tell me what my keyboard input method should be set to?? [01:51] ptarrant: any time :) [01:51] Halitech, getting even bigger LOL [01:51] * ptarrant is off to install AGAIN... lol but this time without ATI, next time, im getting nvidia....i SWEAR! [01:51] Ttech, would you know what the site is? [01:51] mzawieska, do you have just 1 file selected? [01:51] Dhuski, not off hand, but I can look it up, its on the PPA site though if you look for Chormium [01:51] Anyone able to spare a moment and help me load my icons through either compiz or emerald... trying this custom setup thing is tricky for a ubuntu newbie [01:51] is there a less crowded #ubuntu? i never really get anything solved in here because there is so much scrolling [01:51] can someone transfer me to the support chatroom === richard is now known as Guest17341 [01:52] Halitech, as of now I have only one should i add more? [01:52] Guest17341, this is it. [01:52] Halitech, those serials that i want to add are 1.1gigs each [01:52] Speculater1: you trying to install a new icon set? [01:52] thank you ttech [01:52] yes sir [01:52] Halitech, they all mpg file [01:52] halitech how many do u recommend to add? [01:52] I downloaded them, and now can't find where to import / install them. [01:52] jrib any ideas on the 0 key issue? [01:52] mzawieska, yes, wait until you have all the files selected and added, you should be able to get about 3.5 hours worth on a single dvd [01:53] dibs: no. Play with system -> preferences -> keyboard maybe [01:53] oh my god look http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/219/8867868.jpg i cant do it faster? its metalink [01:53] can some tell me why is ubuntu 9.10 not mounting my Windows Partitions??? [01:53] Guest17341, Is there any errors? RAID by chance? [01:53] Ttech: do you have any advice for me? I am in the same boat as Mark on this page: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/72526 [01:53] Halitech, they all like 50 min long [01:53] to i say like 6 serials i could add? [01:53] gonzojive, With audio? [01:54] mzawieska, so add 4 to a dvd [01:54] Speculater1: you wouldn't use compiz or emerald for that. depending on whether you want the icons to be available to all users or just your user, there's 2 different ways of doing it. i presume you've already downloaded the new icon set from gnome-look or whereever and extracted the tar.gz file? [01:54] Ttech this is a desktop machine with no raid [01:54] halitech thnx [01:54] yes [01:54] they're extracted and ready to do something... [01:54] Halitech, when i go to advanced options under [01:54] gonzojive, I don't have audio on my system, I purposely left it out, but I'd be in the same boat as you as i use VIA too. Sorry. [01:54] jbuncher: "disper" is what I wanted :) http://willem.engen.nl/projects/disper/ [01:54] halitech which one should i choose i know iso will burn quicker so iso? [01:55] jrib, ta man, had to set it to a dell 101 key, but working now [01:55] Halitech, and easier [01:55] Ttech: it says Authentication requeired [01:55] Guest17341, So put in your password, [01:55] Ttech: is VIA poorly supported? [01:55] That you login with, [01:55] hey guys... so I've determined I have a daily cron job restarting my machine... I can't figure out how to fix it though... none of the scripts in cron.daily seem to be doing it... anyone have a clue for me? [01:55] mzawieska, yes [01:55] I'm getting create_floppy_devices[178]: specified group 'floppy' unknown when booting to an alt karmic disc [01:55] mbeierl, thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind :) [01:55] Ttech there is no option for the password [01:55] gonzojive, I'm not sure, I think it is supported mostly I just don't use audio [01:56] Speculater1: you should now have a directory (aka a 'folder' ,) let's call it new_iconset in this example. do you want the new icons to be available to all users on the system or just your user? [01:56] Guest17341, What do you mean? When it was setup you put in a password for you account? [01:56] all users. [01:56] Halitech, when i want to add second title for the second mpg i cant [01:56] Or the prompt does not give you box for password? [01:56] jbuncher: I just came across it, have been using xrandr and nvidia's meta-modes in xorg.conf for a few years now. This is much better. [01:56] mzawieska, what option did you select when you first started devede? [01:57] Halitech, i will send u ss [01:57] can you get help with problems here? [01:57] Ttech it just shows me the error, before like you said we had to input our password and it will proceed with the process [01:57] gonzojive, Perhaps try on the forums? [01:57] video dvd creates a video dvd suitable for all dvd home players [01:57] Guest17341, hmm, The error says password incorrect or what? [01:58] anyone? [01:58] mbeierl, yeah, crazy nvidia and their meta modes. Found out about those when I was wondering why in the world my card/monitor was only working at 50 Hz. Just crazy nvidia trickery. [01:58] Speculater1: ok, open a terminal and type gksudo nautilus. this will open the file browser with root priveliges. then, right click on the direcory of extracted icons ( new_icons in our hypothetical example) and select "copy." follow me so far? [01:58] yep [01:58] bye() [01:58] jbuncher: ah yes, the "use the refresh rate to make xrandr modes appear unique" trick. [01:58] Ttech: it just say Authentication Required [01:58] mzawieska, what do you mean you can't add a second title? [01:58] halitech i will show u [01:59] Guest17341, And there should be a box for a password? [01:59] i see no one is paying attention [01:59] Halitech, this is the ss take a look [01:59] !ask | Travis1 [01:59] Travis1: 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. :-) [01:59] Halitech, http://i34.tinypic.com/2hxrbcz.png [01:59] yes, and a box to remember the Authorisation [01:59] ok [01:59] mbeierl, yeah. It's sad that for good 3d on linux you need to used closed drivers that pull that kind of nonsense. I hope that hte open ATI ones get much better soon, or the nouveux guys get a lot of help. [01:59] Guest17341, And when you enter it there it doesn't work? [02:00] Halitech, did u see it? [02:00] jbuncher: well... here's hoping :) [02:00] Speculater1: ok, now go to the file browser window you opened with root priveliges using gksudo. in the address bar, type /usr/share/icons and hit the enter key on your keyboard. this should take you to a directory with various icon set folders in it, such as default, dmz_black, gnome, handhelds, etc. [02:00] Ttech, it does not even show me the password dialogue [02:00] Is there a reason that facebook apps wont work in ubuntu while they work in Windows? [02:00] I have a completely fresh install of 9.10 and I continue to have same mounting problems of Western Digital usb ext harddrive. No error messages, It just 'clicks' off. [02:00] r should ireport that to facebook? [02:00] Travis1, You got required plugins? [02:00] what plugin does ubottu use for its factoids? [02:01] mzawieska, you only add 1 file to each title, is something physically stopping you from adding a second title or because it is showing 94% you think you can't add anymore? [02:01] okay I found them [02:01] travis1, try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:01] Hey, I'm developing a cross platform app that ought to run on Ubuntu. The app needs xsel to be installed for it to work. Can I safely assume that most Linux users have this already, or else, how would I specify that they need it in the apt-get line? [02:01] Speculater1: then paste the new_icons directory you copied in the previous step into /usr/share/icons [02:01] Guest17341, I'm not sure whats going on there, maybe try the forums. [02:01] Sorry, [02:01] Does Canonical still ship Xubuntu discs? I didn't see that on the ship it page [02:01] Ttech: yes i have flash and it loads to loading the player then just stops [02:01] oorah, no, just ubuntu disks [02:01] Halitech, i know my mistake [02:01] I have a similar problem Travis1.... not all fb apps work correctly for me. [02:02] Halitech: Not just Ubuntu [02:02] Halitech, lol i figure it out thank you alot tho for ur help [02:02] Halitech, how come they don't send the other ones anymore? [02:02] once again. did anybody have a problem with ext4 and ubuntu 9.10? today I lost the root partition with zillion errors wiht inodes during fsck. during mounting an "no journal" error appears. recreating journal using tune2fs didn't help. [02:02] how do i install ubuntu-restricted-extras? [02:02] Halitech, so u think put 4 or 5 movies? [02:02] Flannel, thats the only ones I've seen [02:02] I read some time ago about a terminal manager similar to screen and tmux, but it actually worked in a way more like x window managers - it could layer and minimize windows. does anyone know what it may be? [02:02] oorah, no idea [02:02] okay [02:02] hi everyone. does ubuntu 9.10 use grub2 by default? (is there some manifest to have a look at the preinstalled packages?) [02:02] oorah: they never sent Xubuntu. Just U, K, and server. If you need to get a Xubuntu disc, try contacting your LoCo team [02:02] Travis1: open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:02] mzawieska, if each one is about 50 minutes, then put 4 to a dvd [02:02] hello [02:03] travis1 and scarby: you can do it in the terminal with "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras" or you can find it in the Software Store [02:03] Speculater1: you should now be able to right-click on your desktop screen, and choose "change desktop background" then when the background selector pops up, click on the tab at the top labeled theme, and then click the customize button at the bottom of the window. a customize theme window will pop up. click on the icons tab, and select your new iconset. [02:03] just downloaded the latest version of ubuntu.. I select install ubuntu and I get a bunch of errors - authentication failure.. [02:03] kubuntuser, ...I actually just tried that half an hour ago ....and the message was that there was no such package to be found? [02:03] it never starts the install [02:03] I have Xubuntu installed, just think its nice to have the nice disc label and case and stickers that come with it [02:03] edhunter: It does. And, http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.manifest [02:03] Halitech, thank you for ur help [02:03] UBlondie: then you have another problem... [02:03] ok its installing [02:03] travis1 and scarby: if that doesn't fix it, do come back [02:04] kubuntuser, actually ....I think I did aptitude instead of apt-get ....will try again ..... thanks [02:04] Flannel: thx a bunch. i was sure that there was a list somewhere but i find the site a bit too big for me ;) [02:04] UBlondie, did you enable the multiverse and universe repos? [02:04] which apps in particular don't work? I don't do facebook too often [02:04] it's a completely fresh install ....haven't changed anything . [02:04] edhunter: That's what is in the liveCD image, which equates to what is installed in a default desktop system [02:04] The YoVille app [02:04] Flannel: yep. i gathered that much. thx again [02:04] anyone know what's going on with my situation? [02:04] #ubuntu === Strife1989 is now known as Strife89 [02:05] So I just installed Ubuntu 9.10, and now my sound won't work.

[02:20] sileni, compatibility with lazy web developers [02:20] got probs connecting to the server [02:20] any one familiar with the ufw (firewall) - what is the proper way to add custom rules and make them stick beyond a simple ufw disable; ufw enable? (Much less survive a reboot?) [02:20] There are some sites that require ie - try the Citi login screen in firefox [02:20] ok thank you [02:20] mgmuscari: I think the real flaw with your backup plan is that if the lvm stuff gets corrupted, you've spent a long time backing up an already corrupt device. Much better to backup at the file level using tar or rsync or some such... [02:20] PingFloyd, did you use the hardware drivers to install it?

[02:21] mikeru depends on yout client [02:21] Halitech: tried the included proprietary ones, and also tried the 9.11 off ati.com [02:21] PingFloyd, what happens when you try to install? [02:21] MickG: xchat [02:21] Travis1, you need Internet Explorer? O.o === Guest67897 is now known as diskinetic [02:22] spanther: nah, wordpad is for the truly leet, it has fonts and everything [02:22] I'm using pidgin [02:22] im trying to see if yoville will work on it [02:22] wgrant: I tried both and they simply do not stay :P [02:22] ok.. done.. won't know till after reboot [02:22] idono: check out one of my favorite tutorials from the howto geek: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/set-gmail-as-default-mail-client-in-ubuntu/ [02:22] becase of my recent problem [02:22] Halitech: can get them to install ok, but if I use fglrx at all (either version) the system will go black on logout [02:22] try typing /list [02:22] sevenless, hrhr *g* [02:22] Travis1: download it from adobe's website [02:22] is it only me or ubuntu 9.10 sucks? === mike is now known as Guest94767 [02:22] Halitech: and only thing I can do at that point is alt-sysrq REISUB [02:22] i wonder why xubuntu default messenger is pidgin instead of empathy [02:22] wgrant: what firewall info for ? [02:22] brb === Guest94767 is now known as Nis [02:23] MickG: well, I'd rather see something legible [02:23] SnakDoc: Sorry, I meant Sneex. [02:23] I installed all japanese fonts available, but still, when I open this pdf -> http://bm.hus.osaka-u.ac.jp/~yusuke/archive/rireki/sample.pdf I cant see all japanese symbols. Now, I know the non-embedded symbols are there, becasue someone with a windows japanese prepared computer was able to see them [02:23] thanks jayferd. [02:23] wgrant: ok just checking [02:23] Sneex: Really? They work for me. [02:23] Halitech: one except is I can't install libamdxvba1_8.661-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb due to its dependency on libstdc++5 [02:23] After upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10, Ubuntu will not boot and I get dropped to the busy box. I am dual booting XP and Ubuntu on the same SATA HD, my system overall has two SATA HD and an IDE HD. When I load the 9.10 live CD, I cannot access and receive errors concerning the two SATA drives and the partitions on those, while I can easily access the IDE drive. I can, however, access all drives using the 9.04 Live CD. I'm hoping that some [02:23] one can help me restore my ability to boot into Ubuntu and help with why 9.10 is having difficulty with my SATA drives. [02:23] is there voice recognition software for ubuntu? [02:23] Halitech: s/except/exception [02:23] is there some free software on ubuntu i can edit mkv files [02:24] PingFloyd, not sure, I've never had an issue with the ati driver [02:24] http://i38.tinypic.com/2ymxgyp.jpg What is the deal here? When I first log in, I get a black box to the right of my notification menu. I also have a strange amount of space between my libnotify popups. [02:24] ok it wont let me donwload [02:24] Halitech: it's strange, because the fglrx drivers worked perfect in 9.04 [02:24] flash [02:24] Sneex: You put the rules in the right chains, as described at the top of the file? [02:24] does AutoCAD run fine in wine? [02:24] does anyone here uses NOKIA PC SUITE with Linux? [02:24] idono: my pleasure :D [02:24] wgrant: Hmmm; I have tried several different invocations of this (latest variant shown) -A ufw-user-input -p tcp --syn --dport 80 -m comment --comment "HTTP Flood?" -m connlimit --connlimit-above 64 --connlimit-mask 27 -j REJECT [02:24] !wine [02:24] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu === livingtm is now known as ControlsFreek [02:24] ProfOak: I think it is a default, [02:24] Halitech: this one really has me stumped [02:24] !cheese [02:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about cheese [02:24] mikeru AutoCAD newer versions are fairly graphics intensive [02:24] is remastersys working properly on 9.10 already?? did any one tried it? [02:25] JohnL: therefore no [02:25] :s [02:25] there is Nokia Ovi for linux? [02:25] ProfOak: Atleast the notify spacing [02:25] PingFloyd, when you installed from the ati site, did you run sudo aticonfig --initial ?? [02:25] SoftwareExplorer: What about that black box? It disappears if I remove/put it back. [02:25] depends on hardware probably mikeru [02:25] mikeru, appdb.winehq.org [02:25] Sneex: it suggests that you use ufw-before-input, not ufw-user-input. [02:25] Halitech: yeah [02:25] JohnL: nvidia 9400GT [02:25] i can't tell you specifics, I just have used AutoCAD [02:25] there is Nokia Ovi for linux? [02:25] What's the easiest way to update my version of python from 2.6.2 to say 2.7.* in ubuntu? [02:25] kindofabuzz: I don't believe appdb! [02:25] Halitech: seems like aitconfig --initial just changes the driver to fglrx in the xorg.conf [02:25] Sneex: (actually, that might depend on your version of ufw) [02:26] SoftwareExplorer: Also, libnotify puts my volume popup at the right place. [02:26] it's not the worst probably if you stick with wireframe [02:26] kindofabuzz: many people say it works other say it doesn't you never know if it does or not [02:26] PingFloyd, pretty much [02:26] ProfOak:Not sure about that black box, but then again, I don't really understand the black box part of what you said [02:26] Mezner: You probably don't want to do that. Python is pretty core, and 2.7 doesn't exist. [02:26] SoftwareExplorer: Take a look at the screenshot. [02:26] Guess no one knows about OpenGl & s3 chipsets [02:26] How to play Original BluRay Movies on Ubuntu? (since they have HDCP or something like this) === Avash is now known as gues [02:26] wgrant: there in lies the problem, I tried that 5 times before I manually inject the rule and it works; using the syntax in either before or after doesn't work [02:26] SoftwareExplorer: http://i38.tinypic.com/2ymxgyp.jpg [02:27] Halitech: the other thing I tried... [02:27] i don't pay more for blu ray, like almost everyone i'm content with dvd lol blu ray's only successful marked is gaming so far [02:27] Halitech: tried removing gdm and use startx [02:27] how can i retain the sound playing in tty when i switch from xorg? [02:27] there is Nokia Ovi for linux? [02:27] ProfOak: Thanks, I see where the black box is [02:27] Halitech: if I use startx instead of gdm to bootup xorg with that fglrx driver, then it will do same thing as logout would as in not start X at all [02:27] Shoshana: I dont think so [02:28] wgrant, I'm trying to get an expectedFailure attribute to work in python and it says via docs (http://docs.python.org/dev/library/unittest.html) was added in 2.7 [02:28] wgrant: On a Debian box with iptables = 3.1 the rule fails; on Ubuntu with iptables = 4.1 it works, but I have to manually inject it. [02:28] oorah, BluRay's are available for 8Euro just like DVD Movies now :) [02:28] can i install Ubuntu on my samsung delve? and if i do will the phone functions still work? [02:28] Shoshana what think is that not even PC Suite is available [02:28] you could always use ovi.com [02:28] that's my doubt [02:28] SoftwareExplorer: If I remove my notification item, and then put it back, it goes away. I just don't want to do that every time I log in... [02:28] mikeru, i'm sure there are alternatives to autocad. i know not the same but you should check them out [02:28] Halitech: so it's like on bootup, X will startup and run the fglrx driver fine, but when logout, it acts up, or if I startup X through startup, then X won't even start at all even on bootup [02:28] kindofabuzz: well, my dad's thinking about switching to linux, and alternatives are a no [02:28] wgrant, It appears you are right though. Strange that the docs would say it was added in 2.7 [02:28] Mezner: There hasn't even been an alpha of 2.7 yet. [02:28] ProfOak: The spacing has to do with the notification type. The volume bubbles will not change size, but the ones with the spacing thing can, so they are at the bottom [02:29] oorah, the phone functions are inside the software your phone has now. you can't just remove it xD [02:29] Shoshana: where are you from? [02:29] Halitech: s/through startup/through startx [02:29] Mezner: It is true that it was added in 2.7, but that has not been released yet. You are looking at the documentation for the 2.7 development release. [02:29] Shoshana: do you have internet connection thru your mobie? [02:29] mathias_maranhao : israel [02:29] ProfOak: Not sure about the notification icon thing. [02:29] spanther, so that means my phone wouldn't be a phone anymore? [02:29] guys i recently installed ubuntu karmic and Eclipse is working fine on it. Although I can't use team synchronisation to svn+ssh://domspage.ath.cx with a key file. Though i can connect using ssh in a terminal http://dpaste.com/115577/ Anyone an idea what's going wrong? [02:29] karmic creates a Downloads folder, but since I kept my existing /home partition, it apparently didn't create one, can someone point me to a howto page on how to set that up manually? [02:29] mathias_maranhao : yes [02:29] whoa, almost all companies are launching new sync services [02:30] PingFloyd, not sure what to tell you [02:30] Halitech: I'm coming to think it is a bug with that only rears its head with my video card and/or maybe a few others while the rest of the ati cards don't exhibit it [02:30] ProfOak: I'll see if I can find the thing about the spacing, but then I have to go to dinner [02:30] oorah, right. cause ubuntu doesn't have the menu and database your phone OS now has to call people and so on :) [02:30] nokia's ovi, apple's mobileme, canonical ubuntu one [02:30] wtf [02:30] PingFloyd, thats possible [02:30] wgrant, Any idea if this would then be in 3.1? [02:30] Shoshana: Atah adam? [02:30] so linux on phones is just for hobbyists that have no intention of making calls or sending texts? lol [02:30] Mezner: I don't know. But I wouldn't use anything not available in 2.6, unless you want your software to be impossible to run for a couple of years. [02:31] SoftwareExplorer: It's ok i'm just gonna post it on the forum [02:31] oorah, if you install ubuntu on it, you got a mini pc xD but ubuntu (as i know) has no menus for dialing over phone providers [02:31] Geoffrey2: Try adding XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads" [02:31] Geoffrey2: To ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs [02:31] Geoffrey2: then xdg-user-dirs-update [02:31] ProfOak: Here's some stuff for you http://www.mail-archive.com/ayatana@lists.launchpad.net/msg00742.html and how to fix it (havn't tried myself) http://blog.mahboy.com/archives/248 [02:31] spanther, oh ok i see thanks. i better not then lol [02:31] how can I pipe a bunch of files from find into totem with the command line? [02:31] if I try to change the icon of something on my bar on the top of my screen, it turns into a black square thing. [02:31] to a custom one [02:31] wgrant, should I manually create the folder before using those commands? [02:32] it's a svg [02:32] Geoffrey2: I don't think you'll need to, but I couldn't be sure. [02:32] expected behavior is to have the files show up in the playlist. [02:32] Shoshana: I just love hebrew, I'm teaching my self [02:32] oorah: installing linux on a phone is like installing linux on your microwave. sure, it gets you geek cred, but it probably ruins the device's intended functionality. if you want linux on a phone, i think nokia's n900 uses it..and it's preinstalled, obviously [02:32] oorah, well no. if you do it like google with android and make an OS and apps to call with it, you can use it as phone but it needs firmwares for phones hardware and software apps to call people and use other functions :) [02:32] xeer: you might have to make a playlist and then run totem with that [02:32] I just upgraded to 9.10, and now every time I try to type anything, lots of weird characters come out. For instance, a is /ao49 , b is 9gbv , etc. [02:32] xeer: find WHATEVER | xargs totem [02:33] mathias_maranhao: cool, I did one year of it to, but I'm in no way good [02:33] xeer: That will pass all of the files into totem, and it will queue the second and subsequent. [02:33] how to set the label of cd when using mkisofs? [02:33] wgrant, thanks for the tip! [02:33] nickiname: whats the man page suggest? [02:33] no man page for mkisofs [02:34] Shoshana: joke me! :-P heheh Living in Israel and not good? Com'on for how long you're there? [02:34] ProfOak: Did that make it clearer [02:34] Shoshana: where you came from? [02:34] wgrant, the pipe and xargs sent the files to totem, but files with spaces are broken up into multiple files! === gues is now known as billgatessucker [02:35] xeer: Add -print0 to the args you pass to find, and -0 to xargs. === andrew_ is now known as tux11 [02:35] xeer: That will use NUL as a terminal rather than a space. [02:35] Shoshana: i apologize... made a confusion... oops sorry [02:35] mathias_maranhao: I think it was me that said I was no good? I live in the US [02:35] I upgraded to 9.04 recently and noticed that my printer stopped working after being supported in 8.10. Whenever I try to add the .deb module the howto indicates, I get a broken package warning on install. Is there a way around this? [02:35] SoftwareExplorer: really? nice. [02:35] wgrant, very helpful, thanks! [02:35] i think Ubuntu should have an updated cookbook in the repositories [02:35] SoftwareExplorer: jewish? [02:35] can somebody help me? [02:35] <|Porsche> I think you are having the same problem as I am. cupsd is not startin at boot [02:35] I can't install ubuntu === billgatessucker is now known as billygoates [02:36] it says authentication failed [02:36] never gets to the install section [02:36] made by the community === billygoates is now known as BillGoats [02:36] mathias_maranhao: no, christian, and thought if I get good, then I can read the bible in the original langauge [02:36] xeer: np [02:36] weee compiling crosscompiler ^_^ [02:37] SoftwareExplorer: I see... [02:37] pls help :( [02:37] oorah: I want "apt-get install wikipedia" before a cookbook personally ;) [02:37] My upgrade to 9.10 got kind of screwed up. Is there any way to redo it? To reinstall/reconfigure all of those packages again? [02:37] princem: There shouldn't be any auth to install it. [02:37] dpkg-reconfigure -a? [02:37] Is there a way to customize the notifications in Karmic? [02:37] wgrant, thanks, it appears you do need to create the folder, otherwise the update command removes Downloads from the config file because it can't find the associated folder [02:37] turn them off [02:37] Geoffrey2: Ah :( [02:38] <|Porsche> hey anybody knows how to add cups to start at boot up [02:38] Shoshana: do you connect thru your mobile using ubuntu or emulate windows? [02:38] what's a good inexpensive printer for ubuntu?

[02:38] |Porsche: it didn't auto do that? see if theres /etc/init.d/cups and then look at update-rc.d [02:38] any printerworks [02:38] Geoffrey2: Does it get the nice icon and all that? [02:38] no, mine doesn't [02:38] <|Porsche> thats the thing, it is not on my system [02:39] Docteh: Trying that. [02:39] |Porsche: How did you install Ubuntu? Which version are you using? [02:39] hello, i need a suggestion plz... since i had to remove Pulseaudio to get some things to work... i lost the volume control thing in my gnome panel, is there a way to add a new one ? not a menu opening the gnome-alsamixer or similar i want something smal :p [02:39] used to, but karmic broke it [02:39] whats not on your system? [02:39] 9.10 lol! [02:39] wgrant: I believe once I have regained server access (the system is 3 hours away in another time zone) I will remove ufw and just do the iptables stuff by hand :P Thanks for help though :) [02:39] wgrant, yep, folder with a down pointing arrow [02:39] Geoffrey2: Great. [02:39] ppl should be running the newest stable release [02:39] BlacKnight: dig around for a gnome panel applet thats alsa and not pa [02:39] Sneex: You could. Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [02:39] BlacKnight, No. [02:39] latest on server [02:39] so the answer is use 8.10 [02:39] as i said use the latest version! [02:40] <|Porsche> wgrant: I am running 9.10 fresh install. [02:40] no thats not the answer u should run 9.10 === BillGoats is now known as avash1 [02:40] 9.10 beta [02:40] afk [02:40] but 8.10 supported my printer [02:40] not a beta [02:40] oh thanks for the reminder [02:40] mine ia beta [02:40] |Porsche: Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Edition has CUPS installed and running by default. [02:40] so I go back to 8.10 [02:40] diskinetic, just use what fits you best! :) [02:40] BlacKnight, The Volume control (Gnome volume control) uses pulse audio. If you have removed it (pulse) you wont have it anymore. I have yet to fine a Decent replacement.

I checked launchpad and they suggested removing plugins and trying again. Still, I get crashes a lot more often now compared to yesterday [02:44] BlacKnight, Mmmm. Games in wine are problematic. Good luck. [02:44] |Porsche: Most definitive check is to reboot and 'ps aux | grep cups' [02:44] |Porsche: fiddle around with that update-rc.d script or just peek in /etc/rc2.d/ [02:44] |Porsche: If it's running, you'll see '/usr/sbin/cupsd -C /etc/cups/cupsd.conf' there. [02:44] I took out firebug and others. Left in a couple, but I might have to use epiphany for a while if I want to get anything done [02:45] <|Porsche> wgrant: already did that. no cups running after a fresh login [02:45] |Porsche: Huh.

[02:47] tech-mike: its tweakable a little bit - but not like in 9.04 [02:47] tech-mike: gnome devs are redoing GDM [02:47] im trying to chmod everything that 700 to 644 via: chmod 644 `ls -al | grep -rwx------` [02:47] Docteh: ufw is iptables underneath [02:47] Dr_Willis, tech-mike: It is perfectly tweakable, just in a different manner. [02:47] whats the correct way to do it [02:47] darlek: also try renaming your ~/.mozilla dir and running [02:47] Dr_Willis: why the hell would they get rid of this - or is it delayed [02:48] i bet its shitty hardware [02:48] wgrant: not even [02:48] tech-mike: Now it's a standard GNOME session. You can set the background and GTK theme, for example. [02:48] PingFloyd, well, fwiw it seems to just crash on any media playing or state change, like gmail or https as well. Both plugins work fine, long term not so much [02:48] darlek: to rule out whether there is a setting causing havok [02:48] tech-mike: The config tools aren't quite there yet. It's a full rewrite of gdm. [02:48] user refuses to tell us how old or fast his hartdwrae is [02:48] wgrant: well as long as its comin i guess [02:48] tech-mike: no idea - go ask #gnome I imagine like so many other changes.. its a start over to fix core problems. [02:48] PingFloyd, yes, I used a new profile, firefox -ProfileManager and that worked okay [02:48] i'd give up and label this loser as a troll [02:48] <|Porsche> wgrant: sudo start cups returns start:unkown job cups [02:48] Dr_Willis: how can i change the background then? [02:48] |Porsche: Uhh.... [02:49] tech-mike: personally to do that.. i edit the wallpapers in the xsplash directory.. :) [02:49] darlek: 10 times a day is pretty excessive. I'd say I see one ff crash every couple of weeks using ff 3.0.14 on 8.04. I run noscript but not adblock.... [02:49] PingFloyd, I guess I'll use only 1 plugin, but that blows [02:49] tech-mike: i change them all to a nice solid dark blue or somthing other then that ugly brown splashish thing [02:49] |Porsche: try service cups start [02:49] darlek: if it works ok when you change profile, that means there's some setting messing things up [02:49] Dr_Willis: rather than editing the default image - what config file can i play with [02:49] losha, it's been good since the last upgrade, haven't had browser issues before this upgrade [02:50] PingFloyd, yes [02:50] darlek: then dare I say it? Downgrade... [02:50] |Porsche: Oh, right, what Docteh said. What I suggested only works on native Upstart jobs, whereas "service" works on all. [02:50] darlek: look about:config and revert user set settings back to default [02:50] darlek: you may want to copy the profile first [02:50] <|Porsche> wgrant: it returns * Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd [02:50] losha, naw. lots of options out there [02:50] tech-mike: one on /etc/gdm i think. but never figured out which one.. and the format is in XML now.. easier to just edit the images. [02:50] darlek: so you can always revert back [02:50] tech-mike: you can't, they made it impervious to user intervention. #gnome might be able to say how... [02:50] tech-mike: /usr/share/images/xsplash/ [02:50] The blue round question icon is awesome! easy howto how to setup firewall with gufw and how to test security and check for package transfers! :D [02:50] tech-mike: gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties [02:50] Dr_Willis: thx [02:50] I can always use profile manager again, the setting stay in the profile [02:50] tech-mike: That will open up the usual appearance properties, except it will change gdm instead. [02:51] ff crashe sare for fucking trolls === Avash is now known as BILLGOATS [02:51] PingFloyd, profilemanager helps for that, it runs just missing all my stuff [02:51] tech-mike: i use same wallpaper for grub, and xsplash, and gdm , and the user. :) makes the system boot a little nicer looking that way [02:51] !language | tux11 [02:51] tux11: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:53] Guest13970: That's enough, please. [02:53] anavarro: ask the actual question and see... [02:53] I guess if i want to upgrade hardy I have to go intrepid jaunty karmic? === Tniffoc is now known as Guest80942 [02:53] anyone tried to run john on ubuntu 9.04+? [02:53] hi there [02:53] I have a "sed" command question [02:53] I have this text [02:53] "12. This is a test propose text." [02:53] and I want to replace ^[0-9]*. [02:53] anavarro: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === anonymous is now known as gantrixx [02:53] Docteh: Yes. But you will be able to upgrade directly from Hardy to Lucid (10.04) [02:53] :D [02:53] sorry [02:54] how do you edit grub2 for dual boot? [02:54] is quit easy [02:54] I guess [02:54] !grub2 | david1_ [02:54] david1_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [02:54] What's name of menu (MacOS menu) into ubuntu? [02:54] intresting [02:54] david1_: normally the update-grub should see/install other os's it finds. [02:54] My OpenOffice 3.1.1 in Karmic (kubuntu) won't open .xlsx files, either from new spreadsheet or double/right-clicking in dolphin. There are no error messages. I am having the same issue on OpenOffice 3.1.1 on my XP dual boot. Is this a problem with OO 3.1.1, or Karmic? [02:54] Can someone help me get my displays right? My HDMI display is acting as the fist display and my VGA is acting like the second one in non-mirror mode and I want it the other way around. [02:54] TheCheeze, I don't get that error. [02:54] mac menu? [02:54] anavarro, all in one line please, I'm reading a few people here [02:54] iceD[R]: global menu, you mean? [02:54] Docteh, or, you could download the karmic ISO, burn to cd, and do a fresh install [02:54] ff haters can go to heck hes a simple hater === Guest13970 is now known as tux11 [02:54] jbuncher, i think it's something that broke in my dpkg [02:55] ok [02:55] tux11: Stop that, please. [02:55] Xiella: if its happening on XP as well, might that not indicate its OOo? [02:55] I want to set my laptop up to select another OS for auto boot [02:55] or usb intsall [02:55] anavarro: so something like: sed 's/^[0-9]*./replacement text/' [02:55] xp is garbage any ways [02:55] david1_: check /etc/default/grub [02:55] Anyone know how I can get the regular gnome desktop on UNR 9.10? [02:55] TheCheeze, Could be, seems odd though. Did you try updating the package list again? [02:55] ok [02:55] deltet that then make ubuntu the lonly install [02:55] Docteh: I can't find any indication of other OO 3.1.1 users having problems with it when I google [02:55] Xiella, run the command from a terminal, that way when it fails it will spit out an error message that might be useful [02:55] MoTec: thats a common FAQ in here.. but ive never seen an answer.. :) perhaps the UNR threads on the forums tell the proper way. [02:55] i feel ubuntu is a better os [02:55] darlek: did that last night, no error messages at all. [02:56] jbuncher, yep [02:56] but were the ff guy? [02:56] How can I do a DVD to DVD copy, if it's protected [02:56] i get it in terminal too [02:56] !ot | tux11 [02:56] tux11: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:56] tux11: please, don't be a noob. [02:56] TheCheeze, did you try with --fix-missing? [02:56] Xiella: maybe the file is screwy, do you have access to the copy of office that made it? [02:56] MoTec, Wouldn't you just install the Gnome desktop package with Synaptic? [02:56] hey [02:56] its not offtopic [02:56] tux11: yes it is. [02:56] tux11: yes it is.. you are rambling. [02:56] I recently tried to upgrade to 9.10, but it is not booting and drops me to the busy box. I believe the problem is that it is seeing my two SATA drives as RAID drives, but cannot find a way to tell the existing install to stop seeing it that way. When I use the 9.10 Live CD it also fails to recognize those drives properly. Any help would be appreciated. [02:56] I have a "sed" command question. I have this text, "12. This is a test propose text." and I want to replace this regexp "^[0-9]*." with the number followed by a "-" instead a "." [02:56] docteh: I'm not sure. I just installed Karmic and added the full openoffice package through the package manager [02:56] i have 2 ubuntu installs, one is 9.04 desktop x64 and one is 9.04 server x32 -- the server is upgrading fine to 9.10 -- but the laptop doesn't show an update in update-manager or when i run do-release-upgrade -- i'm baffled b/c they are both pointing to us.archive.ubuntu.com [02:56] jbuncher, it happens with every package i try [02:56] Gnea: no this is not off topic... [02:56] nah [02:56] OzFalcon: the package is already installed.. it's just got something else on top of it. [02:56] Xiella, oh :(... any way to convert the file maybe? [02:57] some guy is bashing ff [02:57] The_reaper489: pardon? [02:57] anavarro: So you want to turn "12. This is a test propose text." into "12- This is a test propose text." [02:57] tux11: so what. Let it drop. [02:57] tux11: Which is perfectly permissible. [02:57] Dr_Willis, I don't see any etc/default/grub [02:57] d9500: Style of this . . . http://tucows.sinesurf.co.nz/support/dialup/macosx%2Fdesktop_systempreferences.jpg [02:57] The_reaper489: are you tux11? [02:57] Gnea: ignore me for a bit, my room mate likes to F*** things up when im away [02:57] sorakiu: force an apt-get update on it yet? [02:57] he said it crashes ten times a day its hard for him to prove this hes anewbie i gusse [02:57] darlek: I'm resorting to doing that at the moment but I'm just wondering if it's something I should file a bug report about? [02:57] david1_: if you upgraded you are using grub1. if clean install you got grub2 [02:57] The_reaper489: too late, you shouldn't have said anything. and watch your language. [02:58] grub 2 seems nice [02:58] Docteh, I ran sudo apt-get update and it said i'm up to date [02:58] same here on beta [02:58] it was an upgrade [02:58] anyone here manage to get an IMPS server working? [02:58] i just installed wireshark.. but when i click it, it starts as user.. how do I make it start as root? its odd that I have to make that change and the pkg did not get installed like that [02:58] Xiella, if you can repeat it then yes. is xlsx microsoft office format? [02:58] tux11: i guess thats a matter of opinion [02:58] yes wgrant [02:58] MoTec, What desktop is loaded? What about just removing that Menu program. [02:58] is it gksudo wireshark ? [02:58] axisys: gksudo [02:58] what is [02:58] Gnea: :-) [02:58] Hmm.. There is a package called desktop switcher.. but it says 'not available in current data'. [02:58] i setup'ed UFW and now checked my pc with ShieldsUP. it said that it couldn't get "any" information from my computer (NetBIOS) and my pc is very scure :D [02:58] tux11: that grub2 is good. :) [02:58] Xiella: if you have to a file a bug report it might help a lot to have a xlsx file with unspecific data that cant be read by openoffice [02:59] wubi 9.10 wubi install sucks! [02:59] darlek: Yes and yes. It just has no error messages at all, I just wondered if it was my whole system or OO specifically. [02:59] TheCheeze, maybe try downloading a new libpcap0.8 manually and installing it with dpkg? [02:59] Docteh: Alright, I will do that. Thank you [02:59] spanther: please read the disclaimer on that ;) [02:59] OzFalcon: it's called netbook-switcher i think.. and I stopped it from starting up but i didn't get a useable desktop [02:59] yes it is [02:59] Docteh, what do you mean? :) [02:59] tux11: like i said, thats a matter of opinion. [02:59] i'd delete xp and just go full ubuntu [03:00] MoTec, I think your already running the Gnome desktop with Compiz. [03:00] ok indy [03:00] ok [03:00] I got it [03:00] anybody runnnig the final release ubuntu karmic [03:00] s/\(^[[:digit:]]*\)\./\1-/ [03:00] ? [03:00] thanks [03:00] anavarro: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:00] OzFalcon: It's there, yes.. It's just not 'on' [03:00] i lkie the compiz app [03:00] if you're going to run Windows, run Vista or higher, at least they have UAC [03:00] jcgr: yes [03:00] that works well [03:00] UAC is crap === LinusTorvalds is now known as Avash [03:00] i'd just ditch xp unless u have to run it for some reason [03:00] In 8.04 it was as easy as going into settings and picking 'change desktop mode' or some such [03:00] jcgr: ask ubottu for "final" ;) [03:00] hey jbuncher i kind of have a little problem [03:01] Xiella, ok.. not whole system just format death. Try another like gnumeric spreadsheet and see if that reads. You can set the columns on formats it doesn't know [03:01] my USB port donot work [03:01] sirius: yeah, because it's better to run everything with admin privileges :P [03:01] jcgr, sorry, I wouldn't know how to fix that. [03:01] MoTec: what are nyou trying to do? [03:01] Docteh, is there a special option for apt-get that i need to add to "force" a update [03:01] how do I collect battery status and generate rrd ? [03:01] my pc (it says) still replies to ICMP Echo Ping requests and is visible :( (all other things are stealthed) [03:01] IndyGunFreak: I just want the regular gnome desktop instead of the UNR interface. [03:01] can u force upgrade? [03:01] any ideas on how to fix flash video interaction on firefox with x64? [03:01] chuck norris is always superuser [03:01] MoTec: then why did you download UNR?. [03:01] darlek: hmm, gnumeric spreadsheet, is that gnome? I'm running kde. Also what do you mean by format death? [03:02] I recently tried to upgrade to 9.10, but it is not booting and drops me to the busy box. I believe the problem is that it is seeing my two SATA drives as RAID drives, but cannot find a way to tell the existing install to stop seeing it that way. When I use the 9.10 Live CD it also fails to recognize those drives properly. Any help would be appreciated. [03:02] unr interface i like but its easie rto use [03:02] sorakiu: you might be running into stupidity involving the release updater and how apt handles /etc [03:02] i guess i could run acpi and collect the data and use rrdcreate .. but is there a pkg available already ? [03:02] IndyGunFreak: because it's optimized for netbooks.. I was running 8.04 no problems. It had the option to switch desktop mode.. [03:02] i have a dual boot with vista and installed the final release karmic koala but my usb ports do no work anybody know anything about this? [03:02] Xiella, oh just a crash because the program doesn't know it. If you have access to office, save file as .csv and that can be imported anywhere. I'm googling for a ubuntu solution [03:03] darlek: Ah! alright, thank you [03:03] MoTec: oh i see... well myexperience w/ UNR is limited, i thought it sucked and installed a normal Gnome interface, and was happy [03:03] ? [03:03] MoTec, Do you want to change from Compiz to Metacity? [03:03] how do u do the desktop mode ? [03:03] Is there a way that I can save my current config of my desktop and config from compiz? [03:03] Docteh, should i take everything but the official ubuntu.com lines out of my sources.list, i have stuff like chromium in there [03:03] OzFalcon: no.. i just want the normal gnome desktop. [03:03] Hey everyone, how is ubuntu 9.10 any reviews on it? i need to know thinking about upgrading... [03:03] tux11: if you find out let me know :) [03:03] sorakiu: is your 9.04 up to date? [03:03] thats what bthere saying [03:03] doltek: Yes, ccsm>Preferences <- Export Profile [03:03] normal gnome desktop [03:04] in terminal, if I interact with 'read' in bash or when typing in checkinstall question, backspace prints ^H; can I configure it to just do backspace? [03:04] MoTec, Whats a normal desktop for you? 3d or 2d? [03:04] Docteh, yeah it says i have no pending updates at all [03:04] iceD[R]: http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/ [03:04] 9.10 beta for netbooks running here [03:04] The_reaper489, it works well for me, but you should try out a livecd and test it as much as you can with your hardware and software preferences before upgrading. [03:04] Xiella, generally speaking though if it's the same error on XP/Ubuntu then the error lies with OpenOffice. That being said you need to convert the file for either OS [03:04] the reaper hey i just installed ubuntu 9.10 final but i the usb ports do not work [03:04] OzFalcon: the standard gnome desktop.. no spinning cubes or anything.. [03:04] sorakiu: is jaunty-updates enabled? maybe its something like that :-/ [03:04] jbuncher: thanks, i will do that [03:04] Debian is Better than Ubuntu [03:04] doltek: To save your other config, back up your home directory, especially ~/.gconf directories for general gnome settings [03:04] Hy people! Question: is wget faster then an ftp client? [03:05] d9500, thanks. [03:05] macravin, and chicken is better than steak. Glad people have opinions. [03:05] minimi: depends on server [03:05] MoTec, OK. Now we get somewhere. UNR comes with Compiz only (3d spinny cubes crap). You want to install Metacity. [03:05] darlek: Yeah, maybe it's just been too soon for it to show up on google. Thank you. [03:05] Docteh, jaunty updates is checked in update manager along with important security updates [03:05] OzFalcon: That's not the case.. But thanks for your help. [03:05] Docteh, release upgrade says normal updates === mikeru is now known as floodbot_testme [03:05] Docteh, the show me new releases drop down [03:05] iceD[R]: i don't think there's a karmic version yet, but according to the comments section on http://www.ubuntugeek.com/gnome2-globalmenu-global-menu-bar-for-gnome.html, the jaunty repos will work for karmic. [03:06] darlek: I'll file a bug report for it, in the meantime I'll just keep converting them manually, thanks for all your help [03:06] Xiella, I think so, I came up empty [03:06] maybe let it suggest development versions? [03:06] Xiella, np [03:06] hey i had windows 7 installed on my second hard drive and then i installed ubuntu 9.10 on my main hard drive but when i boot i cant select to boot into windows how do i get these dual booted === floodbot_testme is now known as mikeru [03:06] jbuncher: debian is customizable, the new Ubuntu is forcefully branded with the ubuntu logo everywhere [03:06] Xiella, new version blues [03:06] iceD[R]: never tried using a repo for a previous release, so you do so at your own risk if you add the repo and install [03:06] and bide away.... the new Ubuntu Software Center seams a bit crap... like to much clicking.... [03:06] MoTec, YES IT IS. I tried UNR on my netbook. It didn't have metacity installed. Metacity is the 2d window manager for Gnome. [03:06] so what about ubuntu logo [03:06] darlek: heh, yepyep :P [03:06] Docteh, i don't see an option for that in the drop down -- do i need to manually put that in a file somewheres? [03:07] I'm not that satisfied.... [03:07] i installed the nvidia-180-kernel-source in the hopes to actually prevent my screen from flickering... but it did not work...

[03:07] sorakiu: I'm sitting at a text only terminal, but i think it was like "do_release_update -d" [03:07] PingFloyd: yes that would be nice [03:07] ASrock: choose to install grub to the linux /boot partition instead of mbr, then use easybcd to having windows chainload grub [03:08] sorakiu: just make sure its to karmic in that event [03:08] IdleOne, yes, i tried that -- it responded Checking for a new ubuntu release and then No new release found [03:08] sorakiu: add -d to what he said and see what it offers [03:08] guys pls help.. its very difficult otherwise [03:08] Docteh, added -d and it said the same thing [03:08] Docteh: update-manager -d [03:08] PingFloyd: uh i lost ya [03:08] jbuncher: not in the new version, they like block you, and the login screen is forceably branded, and under system it says about ubuntu... [03:09] Docteh, IdleOne -- very bizarre [03:09] sorakiu: remove and purge and burn and stomp on the package that provides the update manager then [03:09] so what? [03:09] sorakiu: indeed, what does lsb_release -a return? [03:09] ubuntu is the name of ubuntu linux/remix holy crap already1 [03:09] Docteh, haha -- sudo apt-get purge update-manager-cor e?

Wireless didn't work out of the box, and there is no desktop-switcher - the package is missing.. has no installation canidate. I don't understand why 8.04 worked great 'out of the box', wireless and all, and all I had to do to get a real gnome desktop was go to system - options - switch desktop mode... I thought newer versions would be better.

I am unable to find the "alternative" download iso that the instructions talk about. What must I do to upgrade from cd/iso image? [03:30] jmcantrell: it is: but your problem is difficult. I'm not sure you have much in the way of debugging options at this point [03:30] losha, yeah, though there's enough little things between 8.04 and 9.10 that are nice for users (newer firefox/openoffice, compact view in nautilus, the new notification system is quite nice, kde4 for those that like that, etc.) [03:30] freevryheid: all the prebuilt ubuntu builds seem to have upnp renderer disabled...

[03:31] this sucks [03:31] Phase: You can easily create a wav file in audacity and loop it, or you can use something like "beep" [03:31] In Windows, if I open up a particular directory with 4000+ simulation files, it displays nearly instantly. Is there a settings problem that causes this operation to take 30+ seconds? (In GUI, or if I type ls /at/the/dir) [03:31] jbuncher: well, if the next LTS can be as stable as 8.04, I'll be very happy...

[03:35] tech-mike, I haven't experienced any problems with sound [03:35] princem: Do you get to a desktop when you boot from the LiveCD? [03:35] MoTec, Definatly a 9.10 bug. xubuntu fails the same. (They all use the same repos. They are all missing desktop-switcher) [03:36] princem: isn't this behavior a new "feature" of grub2? [03:36] princem: all sorts of weird things can happen when you get a bad copy of an iso [03:36] scott_ino2: hmm, could also be related to the kernal crash detected pop ups i had/have [03:36] scott_ino2: somehow related to bios ecc ? [03:36] OzFalcon: yeah. found a 14h old 'bug' about it being missing from the repositories. [03:36] tech-mike, yeah i have those, however i don't think they're actually serious [03:36] no I haven't tried live cd [03:36] scott_ino2: i8 well thx....ill wait to see what updates pump out [03:36] I have only tried the install ubuntu option [03:37] tech-mike, sound issues wouldn't be a buntu thing, probably alsa related unless ubuntu is doing something weird [03:37] but after getting all those errors it boots me into a logon prompt [03:37] I can't login with any credentials [03:37] princem: definately use the option to 'try without making any changes' first. make sure all your hardware works [03:37] I can not, for the life of me configure my xorg.conf so that my tablet gets mapped to only one monitor! [03:37] I downloaded the ubuntu copy from the ubuntu website [03:37] MoTec, Ubuntu is getting very rough round the edges. [03:37] princem: which iso? [03:37] jbuncher: yep, I like to keep a spare root partition for installs. Eventually, I'll give 9.10 a try natively. So far, 9.10 has run ok for me in vmware but I'm not ready to *rely* on it... [03:37] ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso [03:37] OzFalcon: still better than most the options [03:37] princem: what kind of cpu do you have? [03:38] Is there a way to "record" all the commands you put into the termal like a MATLAB "diary"? [03:38] hmm.. not sure [03:38] it's an acer aspire 5000 [03:38] laptop [03:38] It can run windows 7 [03:38] princem: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I've been testing it for a few weeks on the desktop and laptop, and everything I need seems solid. I'm just worried about converting my existing xp vm from vmware to vbox. [03:38] MoTec, I have about 5 bugs that should really never happen on a standard release. (But yeah - It's still ok. Fedora seem to get it right more often though) [03:39] i'll try booting to live cd.. but let me know if you have any ideas [03:39] losha, and part of me at least wants to upgrade the desktop, so that I will have gone breezy->dapper->edgy->feisty->gutsy->hardy->intrepid->jaunty->karmic on a single install :) [03:39] princem: Did you want to install Ubuntu to another partition or did you want to install it as a file in your windows paritition? [03:39] princem: if you're a first timer, you may have better luck with 8.04 LTS. It has fewer features but is more stable...

[03:40] MoTec, :-) Cool [03:40] jbuncher: Don't forget warty and hoary :) [03:40] there is no option for partitions.. after selecting install ubuntu I get some kind of white logo.. then a bunch of text followed by authentication failure [03:40] jbuncher: I don't like to run multiple releases, so anything i adopt has to be stable enought to run on my server. I guess I'm just a coward... [03:40] then it loads the logon screen.. that I can't get past [03:40] soreau, lol yeah, but I installed ubuntu first on breezy, so I missed those. [03:40] How do i configure apcupsd to manage a usb attached Apc Back-up ups rs 900 in xubuntu? [03:41] losha, yeah, I do work on my deskotp and laptop, so I keep them synced to the same distro to keep things sane. Mythbox is still running dapper though.... [03:41] any recommendations for playing music (samples) live via midi in ubuntu? [03:41] princem: and your iso has the correct mk5sum associated with your download? [03:41] how can make live cd from ubuntu karmic 9.10 [03:41] How would I check that? It very well could be a bad cd or burn [03:41] Ayman; Burn it with Poweriso.

[03:42] thanks in advance [03:42] paissad-hp: That doesn't really sound Ubuntu-related. [03:43] jbuncher: Is mythTV supported on Dapper still? [03:43] trampel, is there a way to do it w/out the output from the commands? I just want to record my commands [03:43] paissad-acer, i use only zalman coolers the grease they provide is fine [03:43] anyone here see this before smiths@smiths-laptop1:~$ smbclient -L ubuntu [03:43] Enter smiths's password: [03:43] Domain=[HOME] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.3.2] [03:43] Server requested LANMAN password (share-level security) but 'client lanman auth' is disabled [03:43] tree connect failed: SUCCESS - 0 [03:43] snuffy47: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:45] losha, indeed. Those database changes can be horrible. And since myth currently *works* and is all firewalled, upgrading it from dapper isn't a priority for me, until I get a weekend where I want to deal with backing up the database and such.

I see there are some for notebooks [03:45] I got the desktop version (i think) [03:46] Hi, I'm back ....I'm still not convinced that Ubuntu should be having a problem with an ext usb harddrive. Western Digital harddrive has NO problems on Windows or Mac, but Ubuntu just doesn't want to know about it! Fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 [03:46] ianm: Thanks.

[03:48] stealth-: It still worked ;) [03:48] trampel, yes [03:48] Any here ever installed Ubuntu Remix on an older laptop, like a Dell Latitude C600? [03:48] jbuncher: I am definitely looking foreward to the day when btrfs is stable and you can just roll back an upgrade in a second [03:48] ayman: it's always seemed to me to be a lot of work, but see the following: [03:48] !remaster | ayman [03:48] MoTec, Great...... And they don't give the other option or hint of it do they? [03:48] ayman: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [03:48] OzFalcon: "forge.net/ or http://linux.dell [03:48] Jordan_U, that would be quite nice. Unfortunately I'll have to upgrade my dapper box before that happens :) [03:48] trampel, yes bash history is what i needed, thanks [03:48] OzFalcon: sorry, bad paste :) [03:49] ok thanks sir [03:49] OzFalcon: "We recommend not using desktop-switcher anymore; this was only provided to accommodate for poorly supported graphics cards. In karmic+1 we should provide a different mean of switching between the two types of sessions." [03:49] jbuncher: You can upgrade to btrfs from ext3 in place, so you would only have to upgrade the kernel ;) [03:49] Hey, technical question. Do the servers/repositories still exists for the EOL-d distros, like edgy/breezy/etc? [03:49] I found out how to get my system to beep...

[03:50] Thanks, all. G'night! [03:50] I found out how to get my system to beep... I had to sudo modprobe pcspkr its blacklisted on ubuntu [03:50] jbuncher: Yes [03:50] ok.. i did check disk and it said errors found in 1 files- what does that mean?? bad cd ? should i burn again? [03:50] I'm trying to determine which FS i should use for a drive that will be used to store massive amounts of data, some files as large as 12-16gig [03:50] How do i configure apcupsd to manage a usb attached Apc Back-up ups rs 900?

The classic desktop doesn't require GL support in anyway (falls back from compiz to metacity for window management if no GL present) [03:51] I have an older laptop (Dell Latitude C600) and want to get a version of Ubuntu on there that's decently fast--any suggestions? gOS (Ubuntu 8.04 dyrivative) won't load.

I tried the standard way, but it does not detect all the distributions I have. What can I do? [03:51] Jester05, I'd highly recommend against NTFS, it's not POSIX compliant, so that can mess with you. Ext3 isn't the best for huge files, though I don't know about ext4. I've had good luck with jfs, though you can lose data in the event of a sudden power-outage (it's journaled, but there can still be issues). [03:52] OzFalcon: yes.. notice how the question above that asks a) is there an alternative... which isn't answered. [03:52] To my understanding, ext4 should work well with large files, due to extents support [03:52] ctmjr: could you help me [03:52] OzFalcon : ok.. i did check disk and it said errors found in 1 files- what does that mean?? bad cd ? should i burn again? [03:52] can someone help me with my grub2 issue? [03:52] Hmm... maybe i should use NTFS just by default since one day I "may" want to access directly from a win machine [03:52] princem, yes [03:52] princem, Bad burn or download. [03:52] odds are everything will be accessed via samba tho === MANIC is now known as Guest3611 [03:53] princem: like I said, you should check the md5sum of your download [03:53] I have followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and I am such a n00b [03:53] memenyc: Only if you tell us the issue :) [03:53] princem, if you have spare cd's - just burn again at the slowest speed. then check again. [03:53] jbuncher: old-repositories.ubuntu.com went off the air. Not sure there are still any copies around. Did you find one? [03:53] the md5 checked out on the iso.. i would think it's the cd.. thanks [03:53] Jester05, how would you directly access from a win machine without going through samba or ssh or something like that? [03:53] jordan_u: of course === Guest3611 is now known as bornpagan [03:53] princem: then checked the md5sum of the disk itself, if you can, otherwise do the built in integrity check [03:54] losha, no, was just curious if it was even possible to upgrade dapper to edgy (rather than hardy), even though edgy is EOL-d [03:54] will burn again.. thanks for your help guys [03:54] MoTec, Ummmm. I rmember reading somewhere about changeing back. But cant remember....... [03:54] princem: if you have a linux environment to check the cd with, you can do and md5sum on /dev/cdrom [03:54] jbuncher, its an esata drive.. may plug it in to a win machine or by some off chance may need to run windows on this machine.. i have it dual booting but havent been in windows in over a year.. still running xp lol [03:54] jbuncher: It is, but why would you want to? [03:54] hello all [03:54] jbuncher: that's kinda what old-repositories was for I think. I'm guessing it just used up too much space to keep around... [03:54] wrapster, i was waiting for an answer to my question you must not have seen it, wrapster, sorry had to take care of something you said when you run nvidia-settings it kicks out an error you are not running the nvidia driver?

[03:55] memenyc: confused in what way? [03:55] memenyc: are you chainloading grub, or chainloading windows? [03:55] yes I am... [03:55] btw how do i check it if its runnig or not?

[03:59] jbuncher: Much more formal testing by Canonical and Ubuntu devs is done for LTS to LTS, Edgy was a short cycle nightmare, and with all of the new users we have since edgy it might have even been done more :) [03:59] Anyone ? [03:59] PingFloyd: I have it installed to the mbr [03:59] OzFalcon: Thanks.. My searching had taken me to part of that before. [03:59] Jester05, well, I know that ext3 filesystems can be mounted as ext2. If the same holds for ext4 ( can be mounted as ext3), then you could install an ext3 driver in windows and access the ext4 filesystem that way. [03:59] DeaCon: there are other clients you can use that support the msn network [03:59] * Avash off [03:59] Which "operand" in binary filter should I chose to Encrypt in XOR under "OKTETA" thanks?

[04:00] jbuncher, I'll have to look into that later.. [04:00] DeaD_LocK: there is a version similar to live msng called amsn or emesene [04:00] Jester05, I don't know if that's possible though. ext4 might not be backwards compatible like that. I do know there is an ext2/3 driver for windows, and it works pretty well. Maybe they'll have an ext4 one soon? [04:00] OzFalcon: Going to call it a night.. Thanks being a good sounding board :) [04:01] MoTec, Yeah. I think I must have read something in here. https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/netbook-remix [04:01] Yeah I am using them at the moment but I perfer WLM [04:01] MoTec, Ok. Chow. [04:01] jbuncher: ext4 has some features not present in ext3, so it's unlikely that an ext3 driver is going to work properly [04:01] jbuncher, just out of curiosity ... why are you against ntfs [04:01] Ciao :) [04:01] DeaD_LocK: I don't think it exists [04:02] Okay,thanks :) [04:02] Hello I have a question about init.d [04:02] it makes 10 times that i come today and nobody is never answering me and most of the time it's for simple changes of karmic that i can't guess [04:02] Could someone please ty to help me ? [04:02] what is the difference between grub legacy and grub2? [04:02] i would like to change the frequency of my PROC [04:02] by gnome applets [04:02] wrapster, it makes no sense your xorg file has nvidia but it is loading the vesa driver what card do you have and where did you get the 180 driver from? [04:02] My mydsql daemon suddenly has stopped starting at startup. I have to start it using sudo /etc/init/d/mysql start [04:02] MoTec, One last thought. Check under user settings..... [04:02] and to keep the value after reboots, but reconfigure gnome-applets doesn't work [04:02] I verified it is already in rc3.d [04:03] how do i download older ubuntu? the website only direct me to 9.10 [04:03] How many Windows programs/games are compatible with UBUNTU? [04:03] hey i need help my xinit is not working [04:03] apt-get install nvidia-180-kernel-source [04:03] I am using ubuntu 9.10 [04:03] with this upgrade [04:03] Why does my kubuntu keeps hanging randomly? Like one moment everything works fine, then the next nothing works, I have to press my power down button to shut the computer down [04:03] ctmjr: thats how i got the driver. [04:03] OzFalcon: yeah.. looked thru every menu :) [04:03] Oh no! Holy syntactic sugar, Batman! Using -> for method calls is really [04:03] just a shortcut: [04:03] \layout LyX-Code [04:03] MoTec, Perhaps this is a waiting for the bug fix time. [04:03] so how do i get kde or gnome working [04:04] Jester05, It's an MS-only filesystem, and doesn't support the POSIX way of dealing with file permissions and users and groups and such, so if that sort of thing is important there could be issues. Also, to my knowledge there isn't a file system check utility (like scandisk or chkdsk in windows) for ntfs in linux. There are some rudimentary tools to fix issues with the journal, but that's it. [04:04] OzFalcon: yes, feels that way. [04:04] any information on how to fix ubuntu unable to access windows 7 shares? [04:04] wrapster, did you change the xorg.conf to nvidia? [04:04] ctmjr: no [04:04] it was already present when i opened up the file [04:04] MoTec, (Personaly) I think ubuntu should be on a 12mth release cycle. Less bugs I'd recon. [04:04] Jester05, so basically, if something goes wrong you might be dependent on windows tools to get the data back, and I've found that's always a *horrible* position to be in. Better to use filesystems that play nicer with linux. [04:05] Why does my kubuntu keeps hanging randomly? Like one moment everything works fine, then the next nothing works, I have to press my power down button to shut the computer down [04:05] Sirisian: could you help me? do you know how can I make grub get all the distributions I have in my pc? [04:05] OzFalcon: I wouldn't mind if they went with the "when it's ready" release strategy === Guest40766 is now known as jtz [04:05] how do i get my kde or gnome working it says suspioucs root [04:05] PingFloyd, That would be good too. [04:05] jbuncher, thank you.. I've been trying to find a straight forward reasoning for a while now lol finally did [04:05] wrapster, look in the main menu under System > Administration > hardware drivers and see if anything is listed [04:05] Can you play games on linux ubuntu everytime I try nothing happens even with wine =/ [04:06] !psp [04:06] For information on using the PlayStation Portable with Ubuntu, please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PSP [04:06] PingFloyd: if you feel that way why upgrade when they first release?. [04:06] ctmjr: yes what is listed is the 180-kernel-source [04:06] anyone know how to open .psp images in ubuntu? (paint shop pro format) [04:06] ctmjr: but earlier when i used the gui to install it .. it used to hang... so i did it via cmd line... [04:06] Guest28155, well update-grub looks at all the ones in /boot/ which are all of the kernels. Another way to see the ones you've installed is in the package manager and search for "linux-image". If that's not what you mean then I'm not sure. [04:06] bastidrazor: I usually use debian, but decided to take ubuntu for a spin a little ways back [04:07] Guest28155, locate linux-image might find all of the kernels? I'm not really that saavy with linux though. [04:07] bastidrazor, When Joe blow burns a CD. It's still going to have bugs in it. 1 day after release or 3 months. Causing a bad 1st impression. [04:07] ctmjr: and at the bottom...it says that "this driver is currently installed and in use" [04:07] HI, all. My empathy cannot connect to the server, can u help me?? [04:07] bastidrazor: jaunty worked fine(maybe because I installed it late), but karmic seems to have some issues [04:07] Jester05, yeah, as good as the NTFS support is, I've just never been comfortable using it a lot for those reasons. Then again, I don't need to share many big files between my linux/win installs like you were saying (esata or something), so I haven't really had to deal with the issue. [04:07] Sirisian: the problem is that I have different distributions in different partitions. [04:07] wrapster, how long did it hang? jockey usually takes awhile what graphics card dod you have [04:07] sirisian how do i get my kde or gnome working it says suspious root when i type startx ? [04:08] ctmjr: about 20mins [04:08] buju, no idea [04:08] Guest28155, can't help you then. I've never used partitions with linux yet :\ [04:08] ctmjr: so i did not use the gui...... secondly system-->adm-->hardware ... actually says that the driver is installed and is in use... === ayman is now known as chang [04:08] OzFalcon, agreed, that's why I like the LTS releases with the "point" releases to the installer. Very nice idea. [04:08] besides, a main release should work out of the box, otherwise it should be called testing or beta etc. [04:09] jbuncher, Yes. ubuntu's redeeming release feature! === ayman is now known as chang [04:09] PingFloyd, funny, I had the opposite experience (issues with jaunty, karmic working great) [04:09] jbuncher, alright thanks.. see the thing is I have a 1T drive thats connected to my pc via esata. I'm sharing it across my home network via linux share and samba server. For the time being I see no need to ever plug directly into a win machine however I cannot promise that as I have windows installed on this machine even. & If I use this take data to my friends they may be running win :-\ [04:09] Night [04:10] jbuncher: the issue I'm having with karmic is a real stumper [04:10] This is a joke right? Whats with all the tooltips! Looks like a toy os and not linux. [04:10] i have aproble with remastersys programe its not work on ubuntu 9.10 [04:10] does anyone know how to change the ubuntu logo on the start menu to a mac one ..... ? [04:10] jbuncher: I pretty much tried everything [04:10] Hi, in ubuntu if you make changes to /boot/grub/menu.lst do you still need to run grub-install to apply them? [04:10] OzFalcon, I wish they did something like that for the non-LTS ones as well. If only once, say 4 months after the initial release or so, just to fix up some critical release bugs and the installer if needed. [04:10] PingFloyd, what was issue? [04:10] yup.. it was a bad cd.. typical noobie (me) [04:10] OzFalcon: can't get fglrx driver to work right [04:10] wrapster, ok make a backup of your xorg.conf file sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak1 [04:10] PingFloyd, what's the issue. [04:11] OzFalcon: worked perfect in jaunty though [04:11] princem: you're not the first. Nor will you be the last... [04:11] jbuncher, yeah. Woudlnt be hard would it. [04:11] why remastersys not work on ubuntu 9.10 any help for it [04:11] OzFalcon: if joe blow wants to stay computer stupid then let him enjoy his bad first impression. it is impossible to have every install work perfectly. [04:11] tried both latest download from ati and the one from "hardware drivers" [04:11] bastidrazor, Go away with that attitude. [04:11] PingFloyd: every release has some issues. it is only human. [04:11] bastidrazor: yeah [04:12] OzFalcon, I think it's just a matter of resources. They'd have to test the new point release, collect everything together for it, etc. I'm sure it's more work than is currently worth it to them. [04:12] how do i fix a /tmp/.X11-unix and it says suspious root andwont let me startx my xserver [04:12] OzFalcon: have a more open mind. [04:12] !help [04:12] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:12] ubuntu is human? [04:12] any information on how to fix ubuntu unable to access windows 7 shares? [04:12] anyone know how to open .psp images in ubuntu? (paint shop pro format) [04:12] Ubuntu is the most human os right [04:12] how do i generate a default xorg.conf? [04:12] I guess that's what they mean [04:12] I have an issue with keyborad: In mysql-client 5.1 (only), the delete key generates a tilde (~). Is there a way to fix that? [04:12] Could someone please tell me some simple !things to write here, so that i could read as to the auxilary information? EX: !psp [04:12] can you help me sir [04:13] want to change pannel theme..... what is an easy way [04:13] !help [04:13] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:13] thanks [04:13] any info on how to fix ubuntu unable to access windows 7 shares. i get Error: Failed to retrieve share list from server. [04:13] Ubuntu is human in the way that it is temperamental and obnoxious [04:13] like most humans [04:13] I have 8.04 on my laptop, And I want to convert it to Netbook remix version. Can i do it with apt-get? [04:13] jbuncher, Yeah. Thats also true. But surely an auto iso builder could be made. Same way it's released by day build prior to release. (rc?) [04:13] macravin, stop the trolling please. [04:13] and it doesn't install properly, because it's human [04:13] ok [04:13] dooglus, did you try the gimp? [04:13] I think it is a good goal to release every 6 months, but sometimes I think it forces them to serve the wine before it is time, there's so many thing that can prevent everything from falling into place on time [04:14] hello [04:14] Razaroth: you can read them all at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi?search=repo [04:14] jbuncher: yeah. she doesn't like it [04:14] goodbye world [04:14] jmcantrell: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ..should create one [04:14] Thank you losha. [04:14] guys, can anyone help with atheros drivers under 9.10? the ath5k is working but very slow [04:15] PingFloyd, Agreed. 6 months is a good goal. But I also think 12 months is a more practical goal. === xod is now known as onats [04:15] is there some good gnome + tiling integration? [04:15] OzFalcon, yeah, but I think for the official releases they like things a bit more locked down than the daily builds. That's why the beta and rc freezes go into effect a while before the actual releases, things need to settle down so they can get the iso to work nicely. [04:15] and madwifi seems to not compile with the 2.6.31 kernel headers due to naming collision [04:15] ctmjr: ok done [04:15] could some one connect to my channel please so i know i have set it up right it's #Deadlock [04:15] PingFloyd: time based release is kind of like the 'Lucy & Ethel at the Chocolate Factory' episode [04:16] jbuncher, I think 10.04 LTS will be nice. 8.04 was a bit lacking - But very stable. [04:16] wrapster, ok now run sudo nvidia-xconfig --force-generate and see if it kicks out any errors [04:17] I know include/linux/sched.h has the task_struct, but where are the defaults set when a new process is created? [04:17] on a whole 9.10 is the buggiest release of ubuntu I've experienced. [04:17] OzFalcon, I'm very pleased to see that they'll be syncing with debian testing for 10.04, sticking with the latest Gnome 2, and going with a stability rather than feature release. It really didn't seem like that's what they did with hardy, given the move to pulseaudio. [04:17] Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup';;;; New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' [04:17] Blue1: plz do a clean install to avoid many problems [04:17] ctmjr: Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup';;;;New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' [04:17] om26er: i did [04:17] whats the bug [04:17] OzFalcon: You know the old saying: feature, stability, on-time: you can have any *two* out of three...

[04:43] excellent [04:43] syn-ack: thanks :) [04:43] http://www.pastebin.org/50424 <-- anyone know why that bash script tells me "ambiguous redirect" ?

Sorry for the delayed response [04:44] Timmymayes: use totem its nice [04:44] hellyes: what about the host files? [04:45] wrapster, if i grab the intrepid x64 package, it says all dependencies are satisfied [04:45] you just give up on it? 9.10 wouldnt work for you at all? did you try a clean install? [04:45] :The only problem with that is you can not use cam which I find a bummer,and don't worry about the late reply [04:45] I'm not knowledgeable about host files [04:45] DeaD_LocK: it has no cam support at all? Or just doesn't work with your cam? [04:46] hellyes: both windows and linux need away to point to each other and that is a host file on each machine - seems like when I fixed that the share worked correctly [04:46] : I did try but I found that I like 9.04 better than 9.10 [04:46] I can't use the dfault media player [04:46] it insta crashes on loading any avi file [04:46] Blue1: how do I find and set up the host file for use? [04:46] :Well when people send or "try" to send me cam nothing happens on my screen,so i'm guessing it's not supported [04:46] When I try to watch youtube videos in Totem it gives me this error: GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error. How do I fix this? [04:47] quick question...i just did the default install on ubuntu...does it make full use of a dual core? [04:47] does anyone know how to defrag ext4 in karmic? thanks. [04:47] hellyes: well the linux host file is in /etc/hosts -- back it up first... [04:47] Timmymayes, I think so [04:47] does karmic have a swap? [04:47] DeaD_LocK: what camera do you have? [04:47] functionofxy: linux doesn't fragment [04:47] Is there a bug with NFS in 9.10? [04:47] hellyes: I'm gonna have to do some schlepping to find out the windows guy - private message ok? [04:47] stealth: [04:47] functionofxy, you should really ever need to defragment [04:47] cool [04:48] Problem: upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and now system cannot mount the volume anymore and goes to some strange prompt (initramfs) does anyone know anything about this and how to fix it please? [04:48] Ed54, jbuncher, that may be true, BUT ext4 can be defragged. a major reason to do this is to get the 'extends' feature applied to files on a converted ext3 system [04:48] jbuncher: he meant never need to defrag. ext is very sorted as is [04:48] stealth: Just a shit one,nothing great but it works well when on vista =/ but now nothing on linux [04:48] er [04:48] rdg098: it matters what the 'strange prompt' is [04:48] weird [04:48] rdg098: exact error messages if you can [04:48] DeaD_LocK: if you're wanting webcam support in linux, if you're using the msn protocol, client "amsn" supports it [04:48] functionofxy: he meant never need to defrag. ext is very sorted as is [04:48] functionofxy, extents [04:49] ;) === evilaim_ is now known as evilaim [04:49] hans, i understand this [04:49] DeaD_LocK: well I might be able to help you if you could tell me the model :P Or try Deeps solution [04:49] what does my ip say when I log in could someone tell me!

[04:51] bjsnider / functionofxy / jbuncher : do you know if it's a default size? or how I find out how large my swap is?

Also, you might get better responses, though, if you give more information or ask in the language specific channels. (#programming #C #C++ etc) [04:52] hans, I think the easiest way would just be to open up gparted and look. [04:52] DeaD_LocK, pretty sure it does.

[04:53] also, is it just me, or does only 111 GiB being usable of a 120 GiB HDD seem a bit too downsized?

Why do you want to conceal that cute location? >:}~ [04:54] hans: You can check out Disc Usage Analyzer [04:54] krishnan: due to the speed. I'm not familiar with low level hardware, but you might also need some assembler for interfacing with the CD drive.... I could be wrong on that, though :/ [04:54] When I try to watch youtube videos in Totem it gives me this error: "GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error." How do I fix this? [04:54] hans, that seems about right, if you're talking about the decimal->binary issue in reporting space. [04:54] so many people here...my question will be lost if not answered right away, yes? [04:54] hi. how do i get flash to work in ubuntu 9.10? i am using the 64 bit version, but flashplugin doesnt work [04:54] stealth: hmm i was too thinking the same. [04:54] Danau, ask and find out. [04:54] leaf-sheep: because even if my ip is showing a quick nmap will show my OS and with my location its a creepy situation for me.... [04:54] Danau: Yes and no. I answer your question just now. [04:54] stealth:let me work on it. [04:54] jbuncher: ok. a loss of 9 GiB just seemed a bit much to me.

[04:56] KitsuneDragon, even with a cloak people can get your os on irc [04:56] hans, my "320 GB" drive is only reported as 298 GiB. Blame hd manufacturers for using misleading numbers.

[04:56] Hi KitsuneDragon [04:56] I don't know how to do wine from the terminal [04:56] ctmjr: how? packets?

Are you sure you have the necessary skills to write a disk burner? I mean, it requires quite a throughough knownledge of programming.... [04:57] hans, jbuncher: you could always switch to osx (snow leopard) which reports hdd usage+capacity in the same way that HDD manufacturers do ;) [04:57] Yea I've grub2. I know but now I want graphical themes like these http://grub.gibibit.com/ They've some files to download may be patches and source [04:57] TentH : sudo apt-get update wine [04:57] TuxOtaku: Ask the real question. [04:57] jbuncher: we should lead a revolt and explode their factories!! lol.

[04:58] hans: check sudo fdisk -l, should confirm whether the size of your disk is what you think it is [04:58] msk: When installing TeamViewer it says my version has been "Miniuplated" [04:58] TrentH: you don't do wine from terminal. right click the .exe/.msi and "Run in WINE" [04:58] hans: also, if youre using extX, i believe by default it reserves 10% of the partition for root-only access [04:59] leaf-sheep, well, to be honest, I was just wondering if anyone had found a way to solve what seems to be a bit of a common problem [04:59] hey guys.. I know i'm a freaking moron for asking this but.. [04:59] hans: ie, when you think you've run out of space, there's still 10% left over (just not reported generally) for root level apps to write to [04:59] Trenth: no idea on this [04:59] 'cos I'm stumped [04:59] Hi, who use Ubuntu Netbook Remix? [05:00] TuxOtaku: I understand. State the issue and if people know the answer, they'll reply.

[05:01] hans...yes [05:01] 11.7 should I burn slower? [05:01] I have freshley installed ubuntu 9.10 and Lotus notes 8.0.2 with sametime, there where some errors which i googled in ubuntuforums and solved them, i am able to open my mails where as i am not able to open the chat window please help me [05:02] after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 im getting the following error on boot. It just flickers the following: /sbin/load_policy: Can't load policy: no such device mount: mounting none on /selinux failed: no such device....then login prompt (but cant type anything) [05:02] Jester05, the "user" option will allow regular users to mount the drive. [05:02] TuxOtaku: Try "sudo lshw -c audio" [05:02] any ideas? I went into the menu.lst on rescue disk and changed selinux=1 to selinux=0, but that didnt fix it either [05:02] Danau check md5sum of iso file first [05:02] Danau: do you have an nvidia gforce motherboard chipset? [05:02] Danau: donno then :S any scratches on the disk? I usually burn at slowest possible speed, 4x, iirc. if I don't use a thumb drive instead. [05:02] ok...Devastator....check md5sum [05:02] Wind U100 have brightness bug some one know to fix it? [05:02] jbuncher, I tried that.. this is what I got: Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE [05:02] library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated [05:02] FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at [05:02] http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged [05:02] Jester05: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:02] When i go to manage my pkg sources [05:03] i try to import a key file under auth and its not loading it [05:03] Anyone knows a bit more about Firefox 3.5.4 - on Ubuntu 9.10 -64bit and Flash? [05:03] going to try slowest burn...then thum drive if that doesn't work. thanks [05:03] Code_Bleu: probably fastest way to revive it is a reinstall [05:03] Jester05, then I'd read that info. Yet another reason not to use NTFS :) [05:03] Danau: do you have an nvidia gforce motherboard chipset? [05:03] I do, scunizi [05:03] TuxOtaku: Correct command --> sudo lshw -C sound [05:03] oh no, sorry...ATI [05:03] Wind U100 have brightness bug some one know to fix it? [05:03] haha thanks jbuncher :( lol i miss the old linux days.. never used to have problems w/ a computer telling su nor my user what i can or cannot do lol [05:03] it's an HP laptop [05:04] Danau: I don't think that ATI makes motherboards .. do they? [05:04] Danau: if you can just use a thumb drive, do that instead. much better way to install. [05:04] HI, in 9.10 there's no System > Administration > Services. how do I get it back? [05:04] it's an HP laptop with ATI built in [05:04] hans: how do I know that it wont just come back up with the same error? Is there a way i can safely uninstall selinux to fix it? [05:04] thumb drive, thanks Hans [05:04] leaving now [05:04] Danau maybe you can try acpi=off [05:04] ATI would be the video card.. I'm speaking of the chipset on the motherboard.. different animals [05:05] Jester05, well, you should be able to mount it just fine as root, and you can pass it uid=Jeseter05 so that it mounts the files with permissions for your user, I'm just not sure how to get it to automount without the priveledge escalation. and in the "good ol" linux days, we couldn't even read ntfs :P [05:05] What port does TightVNC use? [05:05] ne1 running an core i7 on ubuntu 9.10? [05:05] Dancho: if acpi=off doesn't work in the kernel line.. try pci=nomsi [05:05] Syirrus_ yes [05:05] leaf-sheep, yeah lshw didn't help much [05:06] rsk: how does it run compared to a Q6600 in terms of multitasking? [05:06] karex, I hink they got rid of it, as that mostly used the sys-v way, and now they've moved to upstart. I could be wrong though. [05:06] Wind U100 have brightness bug some one know to fix it? [05:06] Syirrus_ i've never run a Q6600 so i don't know [05:06] TuxOtaku: If "sudo lshw -c sound" can list your device -- then it is there. Just need to configure something. [05:06] jbuncher, I remember the days b4 ntfs support.. but right after we gained support.. that was the golden age, back when you had to hand-write your xorg files for dual monitors ;) [05:06] Problem: upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and now system cannot mount the volume anymore and goes to some strange prompt (initramfs) and gives error messages "Target file system doesn't have /sbin/init" and "no init found. Try passing init= bootarg" does anyone know anything about this and how to fix it please? [05:07] rsk: Gotcha... I assume you have one.... does it run okay in Ubuntu 9.10? [05:07] TuxOtaku: Also, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne [05:07] i love my Q6600 [05:07] Jester05, it was just one line though;) [05:07] it runs amazing, even with lots of vbox machines [05:07] Syirrus_ what do you mean by run ok? [05:07] Mizzi: the Q6600 is a good chip indeed [05:07] scott_ino2, I don't know.. I think I had to do a hell of a lot of work to get FC5 to take dual monitors.. which is why i switched to ubuntu ;) [05:08] Jester05, lol those were horrible days. do not like manually editing xorg.conf. My first intro to linux (from a friend) was debian unstable using fluxbox as the "Desktop environment", downloaded nvidia drivers, and manually compiled kernels to get the via ethernet working. Was quite the learning curve :) [05:08] rdg098: sounds very serious error [05:08] real quick ssh question - all I need to run to connect to another pc via ssh is "ssh 192.168.1.100" for example - right? or am I missing something? I had it working last night and today its erroring out. [05:08] rsk: Well, I notice that when I'm doing heavy multitasking, sometimes my compiz studders a bit (I have a 295 GTX). Do you experience slowdowns? [05:09] Roasted: what error [05:09] ari-stress something about port 22, no connection to host [05:09] Syirrus_ compiz is not cpurelated but gpu-related most likely [05:09] is there a way to disable my ubuntu firewall? [05:09] Roasted: ssh [05:09] Good evening you happy beanbrains. [05:09] Syirrus_ and i don't use compiz [05:09] jbuncher, yes.. those were the days before idiots could use linux ;) haha sorry, the engineer in me coming out. I honestly do miss that stuff tho. Probably why I still like arch and slackware over all else lol [05:09] Roasted: The machine isn't connected to the network or have a different IP. [05:09] God some 'easy' ones while I wait for udev to unscrew itself. [05:09] Roasted, yes, as long as the computer you're trying to get to has the ssh daemon running and isn't firewalled and such. [05:10] I need to automount my windows partition on startup, and I can't get Xine in my shell/context menus for video files. [05:10] Roasted, also, the username you're using should exist on that box, otherwise you need "ssh user@ip.address.here" [05:10] leaf-sheep - the machine is right next to me. it has an IP and everything. hence my confusion... [05:10] jbuncher - yeah I forgot about that tid bit. trying it now. [05:10] Roasted: make sure ssh server is running on that target machine: /etc/init.d/sshd start [05:10] rsk: yes compiz is gpu dependent. However I do notice when heavy multitasking is going on I get some slow downs. Perhaps its I/O [05:11] Syirrus_ or the scheduler is being buggy [05:11] :-( [05:11] ari_stress - host not found... [05:11] Jester05, yeah, I used to like debian, but ubuntu is just *so* much easier to set up and get running, and as much as I do like fiddling around with things like that, I just don't have the time anymore, and it *should* be this easy to install and set things up for a desktop system, so I've stayed with ubuntu since ~breezy. [05:11] Roasted: maybe the ip has changed [05:11] ari_stress - I'm staring at the computer right now. I can see the IP with ifconfig... [05:12] rsk: Right on [05:12] Roasted: Do Confirm that the openssh-server is installed. Run "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh status" to see if it's running [05:12] jbuncher, yeah I've been running ubuntu on the side (tho more and more regularly as of late) since ~FC5's release [05:13] leaf-sheep - its running. [05:13] Jester05, have never tried a non-debian based release (only used debian and then ubuntu). I think there'd have to be something huge to convince me to go "outside the family", so to speak. Apt is just too nice :) [05:13] Roasted: By the way, 192.168.1.100 is a generic IP (router/gateway). Sometimes two machines have same IP. This do happen. Is the machine connected via wired or you're using a laptop? [05:13] Roasted: can you ping the ip from other pc? [05:13] 9.10 has been crap for me! First when I upgraded the boot disk got corrupted, even though there were no error messages during the upgrade process. Now I put a new drive in and reinstalled from scratch. It installs but stops at boot with "GRUB " prompt! [05:13] Greetings. Does anyone know how I can change the display on my macbook laptop to run Karmic in 9:16 instead of 4:3 display mode? Many thanks.. [05:13] leaf-sheep - wire. I'm on my router DHCP page too, theres no duplicate IPs [05:14] ari_stress - good call. I cant ping. wonder why... [05:14] kevstiles4: System->Preferences->Display doesn't help? [05:14] suley: did you do an md5 on your iso? [05:14] Roasted: maybe the ip is not 100 anymore [05:14] no but I checked the media when it booted to live cd [05:14] same thing right? [05:14] Roasted: Perhaps, Try "sudo dhclient eth0" [05:15] ari_stress - weird. The second computer Im trying to ssh into can get access externally. [05:15] ari_stress - wait, I set the IP statuc in my interfaces file. maybe tahts why [05:15] Err, that's 16:9 I believe, thanks.. [05:15] When I set up my system, I created only one user and set them up to auto-login without requiring a password, but then ended up using that for more than I wanted to. Is there a way to do the same thing with a newly created account? [05:15] jbuncher, if it were the old slackware days I'd tell you to give it a try but even that has gone the way of most OSs.. they just want too many bells and whistles. Slackware 11 was just brutally stable, wasn't much to see but I had a slack 11.0 box running doing day to day tastes non-stop for nearly a year before shutting it down b/c I had to move :-\ [05:15] Roasted: You could "ssh -v user@machine" for verbose. [05:16] Ideally being able to set it up via SSH as well, but locally if that cannot be done. [05:16] Roasted: Heh. You're always messing around with networking. How does samba/avahi goes for you? [05:16] No..the 3 resolution displays it offers are all 4:3. [05:16] Jester05, lol yeah. My dapper-ubuntu mythbox just runs and runs and runs, though I shut it down at night now to save on electricity, so I don't have the pleasure of seeing ridiculous uptimes anymore. [05:17] icehawk78: You mean you want to create a new user, and auto-login as that user instead? [05:17] is there a "setup" equivilant in ubuntu? [05:17] wgrant: Yes, without it asking for the password or anything when I turn the computer on. [05:17] jbuncher: dapper still? Hardy works too and next LTS probably will as well. [05:17] icehawk78: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [05:17] i just converted a system from stand alone to vm and i am having alll kinds of network issues, but when i change them something keeps changing them back [05:17] jbuncher, I'm in the midst of trying to get my mythbuntu 9.10 up and running.. i do kind of miss the old dapper edition :-\ [05:17] scunizi, just use that computer for mythtv, don't want to deal with upgrading the database just yet :) [05:18] so fedora has a "setup" command line application [05:18] leaf-sheep - Well, samba is good. As you may know I use it heavily as a backup/file server for computers here in my house. avahi (if youre talking about computers communicating by host name instead of IP) is a lost cause though. It just doesnt work. [05:18] just wondering if ubuntu had the same [05:18] i can't get any new processes to launch at the moment because something is eating my resources... what's npviewer.bin? [05:18] jbuncher: yea.. that can be a pain [05:18] system->prefernce->login window [05:18] wgrant: 9.10. I'm sure it's incredibly easy, I just don't know where to look. Most of what I do is just low-level stuff via SSH, since it's primarily my web server. [05:18] automatic login [05:18] mgmuscari: That's a Firefox plugin wrapper. [05:18] wgrant: kill -9 -able then... thanks [05:18] Dancho: Nothing else special needs to be done? [05:18] scunizi, yeah, I remember seeing a lot of forum posts and bugs and such when people upgraded from dapper->hardy, so I want to make sure I have a full day to deal with any issues. [05:18] hello, is utorrent working in ubuntu? [05:18] icehawk78: System->Administration->Users and Groups. Add a new user there. Then System->Administration->Login Screen to configure auto-login. [05:19] If I have a uATX power supply, will it work on an ATX board? [05:19] leaf-sheep - SSH works now. I had set a static ip in network/interfaces file to do a quick imaging project which requires a static IP. I deleted the interfaces entry and rebooted with network manager enabled and ssh works now. [05:19] wgrant, Dancho: Thanks much. [05:19] anybody? [05:19] billiard_junkee #hardware [05:19] Jester05, yeah, my mythbox is running on a 700 MHz athlon with 384 megs of sdram. not sure how it will handle newer releases :) [05:19] ty [05:19] jbuncher: yea.. I waited to up to hardy as well.. ended up saving /home and doing a fresh install [05:19] maxjezy: uTorrent is not a native torrenting client for linux but it does work in wine. There also are native linux torrenting clients that you may wish to use. [05:19] ok so does anyone know if playonlinux works? [05:19] jbuncher, just a backend or frontend too? [05:20] leaf-sheep, okey, thnx for tha fast response [05:20] I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and now Ubuntu wont boot. The system I upgraded is a bit on the old side, but still works great. I did the upgrade on Saterday and figured there was just some conflict with the old install that cause the error (unable to mount the swap partition), so I just did a clean install og 9.04 and upgraded to 9.10 and got the same error.... [05:20] It starts to load with the nice new black and white logo and then drops to a initramfs prompt. If I bring up grub and attempt to load the 2.6.28-6-386 kernal instead of the 2.6.31.14-386 it loads up to the point where it should be loading the GUI login screen then drops back to a cli logged in as root, which I am guessing is the recovery mode. I have tried to ... [05:20] Roasted: Great. You're having fun then. :) [05:20] edit the fstab file but the whole drive is in read-only mode even though it claims I am logged in as root. When I try to do "login" or "su" it just throws a SegFault. So I have no idea where to go from here to figure out why 9.04 works great and 9.10 kills the comp [05:20] i have my torrents workin [05:20] leaf-sheep - ha, I try. Always trying something new. [05:20] Roasted: you could use a specific port for the other ip/box .. have ssh listen on port 222 then have 222 forwared to that ip/box .. ssh -p222 user@ip/host [05:20] Jester05, combined backend/frontend. Don't have any other myth machines. [05:20] anybody know if there is a "setup" utility for ubuntu that, like the one that Fedora/Red Hat uses? [05:21] leaf-sheep - another thing, I didnt need to put a user in in the ssh thing. I just did ssh ip and it asked me to log in as jason (me) which is the only user acct on the system. maybe tahts why? [05:21] i cant even get X running thats how pathetic it is [05:21] setup for what thing? [05:21] bmusson, describe what you want to do with the setup utility, and maybe we can provide you with the ubuntu-alternatives for doing those tasks. [05:21] for settings up networking/X/services. etcc... [05:21] jbuncher, honestly.. backend should be fine but frontends are really getting heavy with some of the stuff they have on them anymore. do you have software or hardware decryption cards? [05:21] Digitalxero: have you tried installing 9.10 by itself? [05:21] bmusson: in the recovery kernel there is an option to redo x & video [05:21] well there is someone [05:22] scunizi, what about network [05:22] net for example [05:22] Jester05, hardware encoding, software decoding. Just one PVR 150 (not many channels). [05:22] altf20: not yet downloading the iso now [05:22] Roasted: I see. I'm not sure as I often use my ssh configuration file which resides in ~/.ssh/config ---> A simple list of hostname, port, user, etc. [05:22] system->preference->network connections [05:22] * altf2o has been on 9.10 RC for a bit now on my Netbook w/o any issue. [05:22] bmusson: maybe.. haven't looked in a while.. typically network isn't too much of an issue unless it's wireless [05:22] hm [05:23] for as much of an Ubuntu fan as i am, i /never/ ever trust an OS upgrade. I simply backup, install clean, always. That's just a personal preference though. [05:23] Digitalxero: From what I see, there are lot of upgrading issues in 9.04 --> 9.10. [05:23] Roasted: correct. if you don't specify a user then it will assume your current username. [05:23] leaf-sheep - hows that work? does ssh just point to the file and it finds your pre-configured setups? [05:23] Any ideas on 16:9 display mode wgrant? [05:23] bastidrazor - well, that makes sense, since I'm on my main ubuntu rig as jason and jason is the only user on the machine I was ssh-ing to :) [05:23] leaf-sheep, both of my machines upgraded from 9.04 -> 9.10 Alpha 5 just fine, though clearly that's not the final release. [05:24] jbuncher, I'm currently running 2 150s in my box .. P4 2.4ghz, 1.5gig ... not bad at all they take about zero CPU it seems however I used to have 2 Divico (analog/digital combos) software everything.. HOLY CRAP! sucked down the CPU so much so that the frontend could hardly run [05:24] altf20: I do that on my windows boxes, but I have had that comp running Ubuntu since 5.10 and had just continued to upgrade it as new release came out and never had an issue [05:24] kevstiles4: look in http://wiki.ubuntu.com for xrandr references..thats what controls screen, resolution, aspect etc [05:24] Roasted: Pretty much. It's a configuration file. It read whatever it is inside and act accordingly. Let me find you something on that. It's good for home networking. [05:24] ah good, winehq has karmic packages now. [05:25] hm /stand/sysinstall is to freebsd as setup is to Fedora as _______ is to ubuntu? [05:25] Roasted: http://lookherefirst.wordpress.com/2007/12/17/a-simple-ssh-config-file/ [05:25] wish me luck, about to up to 9.10... [05:25] so what does everyone think about the new GDM not allowing xdmcp log in [05:25] Jester05, yeah, I think mine would crap out with 2 cards, the commercial flagging recording one show at a time is killer enough. Can't imagine 2. Too much disk i/o. Once I graduate with my doctorate and have money I'll upgrade to some better hardware :) [05:25] leaf-sheep - pretty handy [05:26] not good, unresolved dependancy "null" [05:26] damn apcupsd wonb't auto detect my frigging APC Back up UPS RS 900 [05:26] jbuncher, understandable... I really wish I could just build a new box and make it be nothing but myth [05:26] Roasted: Yup, especially if you're using that with avahi. It's a plus! I would use rock.local for HostName instead of actual IP. :) [05:26] leaf-sheep - that'd be nice, if avahi would actually work :( [05:27] Roasted: It does work. I think you just skwed your machines or something. Since you're messing around with networking... Me think. :3 [05:27] Wired network: device is unmanaged [05:28] Jester05, yeah, that's what I'll do. it still won't be crazy, but hopefully two hd tuners will make it in there. Speaking of, it's time for me to go enjoy some recorded, commercial-flagged television before bed :) Later. Good luck with that external drive. [05:28] Roasted: you could just add the ip hostname to /etc/hosts .. then use the hostname .. just like using avahi except you don't have .local .. have you looked into passwordless ssh? === m4v_ is now known as m4v [05:28] jbuncher, thanks.. have a good night.. and you may want to look into AMD tri-core processors [05:29] anyone else having problems with the winehq packages? [05:29] Is there a program that can display the control codes sent by a keyboard for the buttons pressed, to view what the code for a given media-button may be? [05:29] they're quad core processors that had 1 core die .. alot cheaper and still pack some power [05:29] Jester05: outright disabled xdmcp or just disabled it by default? [05:29] icehawk78: search synaptic for "keyboard" ther'll be something there that will do it [05:29] Jester05, thanks, will do. [05:30] mgmuscari, my understanding is that it is no longer an option w/ the new GDM.. i emailed the developers Sunday but haven't gotten any reply yet [05:30] Jester05: so.... if you want to do remote x sessions using xdmcp you're out of luck? [05:30] How do you defrag you HDD with Ubuntu? [05:31] leaf-sheep - no, I don't think that is it, because both machines are a fresh install as of this past weekend. [05:31] what's the ppc channel of ubuntu? [05:31] doltek: dont need to [05:31] doltek: you don't .. it doesn't suffer like widows [05:31] mgmuscari, unless you install the "legacy" GDM .. 2.20 i think, yes you are [05:31] doltek: man fsck [05:31] spanish [05:31] bastidrazor - I know, but I can't help but to wonder, what if I was a network admin in charge of 500 ubuntu machines. I would NEED them to communicate by host name, not IP. What would I do then? [05:31] Jester05: that doesn't include X tunneling via ssh, does it? [05:31] mgmuscari, needless to say, I'll be installing the legacy [05:31] I have solved Flash problems in Firefox 3.5.4 flash now works....in Opera 10.01 works.....Google Chrome still does not...any idea? [05:31] doltek: however the sys will do a fsck to file sys health once a month or every 30 boots [05:31] how can i fix this kernal crash detected - caused by bios ecc or w/e ? [05:31] * mgmuscari wonders how X tunneling via ssh works... [05:31] español [05:32] !es | cerbero [05:32] cerbero: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[05:32] mgmuscari, that I do not know however I do not want to have to us an SSH client just to log into my main box or mythbox from my laptop [05:32] use* [05:32] Roasted: Avahi would be the proper solution. Perhaps you're using something complicated. I can not explain why the things did not go well for you. [05:32] Roasted: /etc/hosts allows you to use hostname by aliasing the hostname from the ip .. [05:32] Tech-Mike: keep going.. it's not really an issue.. it's been discussed on the dev maillist.. mostly an over anxious reporting system.. [05:32] Jester05: yeah, just wondering whether it'd still be possible to use X remotely at all... === david is now known as diskinetic [05:33] Someone Spanish speaks [05:33] !es | cerbero [05:33] cerbero: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[05:34] Tech-Mike: yep.. a lot of new board auto detect ecc.. but the reporter sys for this error is....in error :) [05:34] mgmuscari, hmm.. [05:34] Jester05: wow, this is removing a key feature IMO [05:35] leaf-sheep - what do I need to know about avahi? If I have avahi-daemon installed on both ubuntu machines, should I in theory be able to ping each machine by host name? [05:35] mgmuscari, I agree completely.. if need be I'll switch to a different session manager.. GDM may have just made a HUGE mistake [05:35] what's the ppc channel of ubuntu? [05:35] Jester05: i seriously can't even fathom why they would decide to remove it [05:35] !10.04 [05:35] Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l02bhwofEqw for announcement video. [05:36] how come #ubuntu+1 isn't open [05:36] woohoo come on lynx! [05:36] mgmuscari, exactly.. theres no purpose in cutting out that feature, it was fine before.. no need to even update it IMO [05:36] i do not agree with the way ubuntu sets things up [05:36] I've got an odd problem I'm trying to solve. I have an ubuntu 9.04 install I've been using and I've now added a raid card. My root fs is on sda and the raid is sdb .... until I make partion and mkfs on sdb(on the raid card) then a reboot now makes the raid card appear on sda and my root FS/main disk is now sdb. If I deleted the partition on the raid card the ordering swaps back to the correct order (root fs on sda, and raid shows up as sdb). I've trie [05:37] actually karmic is doing well. [05:37] Jester05: boggling [05:37] isn't there meant to be a background image to grub2? [05:37] cause grub2 atm looks very bland. [05:37] You don't see GRUB2 at all in the default installation. [05:38] wgrant: good point: i installed grub2 on purpose. [05:38] mgmuscari, I really hope they fix this ASAP, otherwise I'll just stick to running the legacy version [05:38] i was getting ready to install win7 and 9.10 on my laptop tonight [05:38] wgrant: furthermore, i have multiple partitions to boot from. [05:38] mgmuscari, Jester05: Remember that it is still early days for the gdm rewrite. [05:38] now i'm not so sure... [05:38] how do i turn of gdm? [05:38] mgmuscari, Jester05: XDMCP support is there, but it's not in the config tool [05:38] ari_stress: Why? [05:39] ari_stress: gdm stop [05:39] and since my current vista install is hosed, i don't want to risk borking my 9.04 by installing win7, and now i can't play Dragon Age Origins tomorrow :( [05:39] scunizi: i run it inside vmware, very heavy [05:39] wgrant, how can we add it? I've looked into it but to no avail [05:39] wgrant: i can't find any info on this via google... where are you getting this? [05:39] mgmuscari: I saw it in the code last week. [05:39] * wgrant finds it. [05:40] ari_stress: easier in vbox.. but gdm stop should shut down gdm.. if it doesn't the old way is sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [05:40] this is what i get for not regularly checking out source code and actively contributing to FOSS [05:40] Yes, the config tool currently sucks. [05:40] maybe after i take the grad level OS course [05:40] But it has the potential to get much nicer than the old gdm. [05:41] leaf-sheep - ya out there? [05:42] ok anyone familiar here with ubuntu server? [05:42] mgmuscari, Jester05: http://projects.gnome.org/gdm/docs/2.18/configuration.html might be helpful. [05:42] And I'm sure Google knows what you want to know. [05:43] ralphmichael17: if you ask your question, someone will respond if they know [05:43] wgrant: thanks... as always, the key is finding the right keywords to search for [05:43] ralphmichael17; #ubuntu-server is also helpful.

I got caught up in a different conversation. [05:44] lol [05:44] leaf-sheep - what do I need to know about avahi? If I have avahi-daemon installed on both ubuntu machines, should I in theory be able to ping each machine by host name?

You'd be using "ping ant.local" and "ping skynet.local" [05:45] i'm not sure if you have the same idea of "server" as we do [05:45] mgmuscari, not for me... you give it a try and let me know if it works lol maybe i somehow messed up [05:45] well, i am familiar with windows and i have ran a server with windows nt terminal, and it gave me the option to boot all the computers through the server, can ubuntu do that? [05:46] somebody in #gnome just told me, "(12:43:47 AM) onexused: mguscari: According to package.mask on Gentoo, anyway, there's no UI for it in 2.26. same with 2.28. or theming, or configuration, according to the same file." [05:46] ralphmichael17: are you asking if you can boot thin clients from a server? [05:47] leaf-sheep - well, skynet can ping area51, this is a good sign [05:47] yes with ubuntu [05:47] Theming is now done through the normal GNOME utilities. [05:47] leaf-sheep - but my main box cannot ping skynet (the ssh box I was on earlier) [05:47] Roasted: Scary hostnames is never a good sign. [05:47] leaf-sheep - gotta have a little fun :P [05:48] Roasted: What packages do you install? Lot of them? Since you said it's a fresh install? ufw enabled? Anything particular that may come to your mind? [05:48] ralphmichael17: you can do PXE stuff with ubuntu, although i haven't set it up [05:48] leaf-sheep - no, just regular applications, audacious, amarok, exaile, vlc, thunderbird, samba, thats really it. [05:48] i am searching all over online for help and cant get any good documentation [05:48] ralphmichael17: Try searching for 'LTSP' [05:49] mgmuscari, if you figure it out please msg me to let me know [05:49] Jester05: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/148365/ [05:49] what is an ubuntu cloud exactly, sound like anything I would be looking for? [05:49] ralphmichael17: No. [05:49] I want to try ubuntu 9.10. I have qemu, but I just want to run off of the CD. Can you run qemu with no hard drive? I tried qemu -cdrom ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso -soundhw sb16 -localtime with no luck. It seems to start the load and then stalls at some point. [05:49] ralphmichael17: Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud is for running virtualised servers in a scalable, flexible manner. [05:49] !ubuntu one [05:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu one [05:49] mgmuscari, ? [05:49] Roasted: I'm thinking. Can't really point my finger on anything. [05:50] ubuntu one has about 600 bugs assigned to it - doesnt work well for me [05:50] ok, quick of topic question, i upgraded to karmic and had no sound issues, is that some big bug, because i couldnt fix it and i down graded back to 9.04 [05:50] leaf-sheep - its weird itd be a 1 way thing like that [05:50] Jester05: got that from a guy in #gnome [05:50] Roasted: How about skynet pinging itself? "ping skynet.local" [05:50] ralphmichael17: You did not downgrade. That is not possible. [05:50] mgmuscari, but what does it mean for us? [05:50] ralphmichael17: did you try checking all of your mixer settings with alsamixer? [05:50] leaf-sheep: You are getting dangerous... [05:50] i formatted and reinstalled [05:50] yes [05:50] mgmuscari: The theming thing at least is a lie. It uses normal GNOME themes now. [05:51] leaf-sheep - yes it can ping itself [05:51] Jester05: i read that as, "there's no ui for it," i.e. support is still there but have fun configuring via config files and using a terminal [05:51] Roasted: Here you go. Avahi works. :P [05:51] leaf-sheep one way... [05:51] leaf-sheep - jason@Area51:~$ ping skynet.local [05:51] ping: unknown host skynet.local [05:51] hi [05:51] why we can't configure the sound in karmic ? [05:52] with skype i can't put something else than pulse-audio i don't have any choices [05:52] Roasted: Indeed. (That was a humor). I'm thinking -- Something --- A barrier -- But what? [05:52] could someone help me ? [05:52] jacquesdupontd: That's Skype's fault, sadly. [05:52] pulseaudio is the default sound server now, isn't it? [05:52] !skype | jacquesdupontd [05:52] jacquesdupontd: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [05:52] why do mount points now read like this... /media/A668ABED68ABBA87/directoryname [05:52] leaf-sheep - you got me. that box is a brand new install, much more basic than area51 [05:52] tech-mike: that's the ID of the filesystem, which is used when the filesystem has no label set. [05:52] could someone give me the new of the program for mount my ntfs drive permanently [05:52] mount ? [05:53] !fstab | Troy1 [05:53] Troy1: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [05:53] mgmuscari, I'll brb rebooting [05:53] no i want the graphical program [05:53] Troy1: also look into ntfs-config for a graphical [05:53] that keeps your ntfs drive mount on reboot [05:54] wgrant, it's not sufficient to say it's skype fault, i admit it but in karmic i can't choose either alsa or pulse audio check the sound settings you don't have any choices, maybe it is placed somewhere else ? [05:54] I setup mine up by modifying /etc/fstab [05:54] just got linux mint install [05:54] http://www.pastebin.org/50424 <-- can anyone see why that bash script doesn't work? [05:54] !mint | Troy1 [05:54] Troy1: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang) [05:54] jacquesdupontd: i think he means that the Skype client program is not fully compatible with 9.10 [05:54] maybe wrong channel fro that statemnt [05:54] Roasted: Clear things up for me. Skynet is a dangerous server who's capable of thinking on its own. Area51 is your main machine. Right? [05:54] wow [05:54] Troy1: Wrong channel, indeed. [05:54] distastein my selection [05:55] Is there a Limewire for Linux if so how do I get it? [05:55] dis taste [05:55] Troy1, if you mount an ntfs partition in mint, pretty sure it gives you an option to always mount it [05:55] !limewire | doltek [05:55] doltek: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !Java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative. [05:55] jacquesdupontd: The new PulseAudio version of Skype does not allow useres to choose a device. [05:55] Troy1: not distaste, there are legal reasons that canonical can't support mint [05:55] Is anyone else having problems with the winehq packages? its complaining about an unresolved dependancy for me, but it doesn't seem to say *what* the missing dependancy...or its complaining about a null dependancy...or something... [05:55] mgmuscari, ok forget skype and tell me how to set audio like we were doing in jaunty for example [05:55] Troy1: just try and mention something that isn't even ubuntu derived and see yourself get banned/threatened ban [05:55] well the tool i want works for both [05:55] I've never seen it before... [05:55] leaf-sheep - pretty much. area51 is my main rig that runs the samba server. skynet is simply a spare ubuntu computer that I screw around with. This weekend I wanted to play with xbmc, and I installed 9.04 on it and named it skynet. So its really a base install + xbmc. [05:55] jacquesdupontd: still haven't installed 9.10 yet myself... [05:55] DigitalKiwi: No. We just can't support it. [05:55] mgmuscari - I tried to :( [05:56] mgmuscari, im not alone to see that the sound settings are totally different and that we can't choose alsa drivers or pulseaudio or wathever [05:56] not asking for support [05:56] Troy1: You were. [05:56] it couldnt detect my hard drives properly and thought I had raid when I didnt, so Im on 9.04 till its fixed or till the next release [05:56] just the name of application [05:56] then wgrant if you have 9.10 do you know how to set audio like before and not to choose by the card ? [05:56] ti have found 2 graphical mount tools that are simple and work fine [05:56] jacquesdupontd: What are you talking about? What are you attempting to achieve? [05:56] but it been a year since using linux [05:56] and even then i was a beginner [05:57] oh my god [05:57] does anyone know why sometimes an application/window just closes by itself? [05:57] Troy1: a suggestion: since you can use ubuntu repositories, ask what a package in the ubuntu repositories that does what you're looking for is [05:57] hi. will I have any problems using the radeonhd driver on karmic. I have an ati xpress 300 [05:57] sevol: process probably crashes [05:57] fglrx was destroying xorg on jaunty [05:57] ntfs-config [05:57] mgmuscari: is there a way to fix it? [05:57] anothergit: If you do, you will be an exception to the rule :) [05:58] Roasted: Base install? Meaning ubuntu-desktop weren't installed? [05:58] someone mentioned that earlier [05:58] soreau, oh no! :-( [05:58] sevol: depends on the software... there's no blanket solution to broken code [05:58] sounds familiar [05:58] leaf-sheep - No. Its a full install. I just mean base install by, I installed ubuntu, and that was it. [05:58] mgmuscari: well its seamonkey [05:58] Troy1: you're trying to do stuff with ntfs partitions? [05:58] mgmuscari: im using 9.10 ubuntu [05:58] hey guys, got a siously strange problem here. i have tried absolutely everything to get this to work. i have 1 single hard drive i am trying to install 9.10 on. it is not recognized by the installer, but i can mount it, format it, whatever. i tried completely formatting the drive, hell i even tried using dd to erase the first 8gb entirely. nothing works, i get to the partition table part and i have zero options to do anyt [05:58] i have a hp laserjet 1020 printer.. i have attached it to my machin and it automatically downloaded and installed the drivers. i tried to test print.. it says job completed but it doesnt print. [05:58] leaf-sheep I gotta check in though man, thanks for the help. [05:58] yes [05:59] anothergit: You will be using the open drivers on karmic, fglrx no longer supports your card (also the oss radeon drivers are much better in karmic and require no configuration) [05:59] keep then permanently mounted [05:59] hi..any body using VM player in vista..then run ubuntu? [05:59] i have a prob here [05:59] sevol: is that in the ubuntu repositories? [05:59] Roasted: XBMC is nice. I bought parts and build a mini machine mainly for HTPC (XBMC). Avahi does work too. I'd just "ssh cloud" because it contains 2TB -- But I can't understand why it's not working for you. It's strange, really. [05:59] mgmuscari: it has to be, i apt-get install seamonkey [05:59] PM me [05:59] so no one else has had any problems installing wine from the WineHQ packages? [05:59] i have done before with 2 different apps [05:59] Troy1: if you want to set up partitions to automount on startup edit your !fstab [05:59] soreau, wait are you saying that the open source drivers will be alright on karmic? [05:59] wgrant, ok i found it myself [05:59] !fstab | Troy1 [05:59] Troy1: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [06:00] leaf-sheep XBMC seemed nice, but it had serious audio/video syncing issues, in my experience. I tried boxee but it kept locking up on me. As a result, Im staying away :P [06:00] anothergit: Yes [06:00] woot [06:00] i rather use the software [06:00] its easy [06:00] wgrant, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xdOKtvKpck [06:00] okay I'm dropping windows 7 now [06:00] just check the box [06:00] also, 64bit will be okay? [06:00] and done [06:00] that easy [06:00] Troy1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:00] Roasted: You're not using SVN? I'm on bleeding edge. [06:00] i am asking a request for a common tool [06:00] Troy1: sorry man, i guess it's a matter of opinion... emacs is easier for me than installing something... try searching the repositories for "partition" and see what comes up [06:00] leaf-sheep - I downloaded it from the directions on the web site. [06:01] How do you make it beep when you press keys like caps lock? [06:01] LSD|Ninja: probably a bios setting [06:01] i have a drive that has been completely wiped using dd. what do i need to do so that the ubuntu installer will recognize it? [06:01] Troy1: you want a partition editor? [06:01] Troy1: I don't know about what tools Linux Mint provides. You'd be much better off asking in their support channel. [06:01] scunizi: he wants an fstab editor [06:01] hello i have a ubuntu 6.10 machine i want to update how do i go about that? [06:01] hello, i just disabled remote desktop through the preferences menu. but now, as a result, i have a vino-server process that is taking up 50% to 100% of my CPU according to top and everytime i kill it, it seems to respawn. according to netstat -plunt, it is listening on port 5900 over IPv6. what should i do? [06:01] ubuntu: Nothing [06:01] hullo: You'll pretty much have to reinstlal. [06:02] ubuntu: the system properly recognises it otherwise? [06:02] hullo: Otherwise you would have to upgrade 7.04 -> 7.10 -> 8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04 -> 9.10 [06:02] Roasted: Gotcha. I don't know. If you can't even ping the machine, it's simply invisible. [06:02] Flannel: gparted does, i am able to mount it and format it and everything. but when i try to install i get zero options on the partition stage [06:02] that would be crazy [06:02] leaf-sheep ah well, itll wait till tomorrow :P cya man! thanks again [06:02] Roasted: Okay. :}~ [06:02] mgmuscari: too bad he left.. pysdm would do it [06:03] ubuntu the bios recognises it as a possible boot device? [06:03] speak of the devil [06:03] hullo: Note that Ubuntu 6.10 security support ended 18 months ago, so you have been running around with a very vulnerable machine. [06:03] Textmode: see my message to Flannel, this is really strange. i am able to mount the drive and format it no problem, the bios also recognizes it [06:03] Troy1: scunizi suggested pysdm [06:03] hullo: I would recommend downloading/installing the latest version you want to install cleanly. If that is not an option, you should update/upgrade/dist-upgrade each version in succession [06:03] ubuntu: well, try formatting it ext3, see if that helps for any reason [06:03] wgrant: i pulled it out of a closet [06:03] can anyone help with changing the available video resolutions on a headless server ? === john is now known as Guest56378 [06:03] mgmuscari: glad you cought that.. I have "messages" off [06:03] hullo: Ah. You'd best reinstall, I think. [06:04] ubuntu: Another thing you might try is installing from the Alternate CD if that's easy to try [06:04] Flannel: yeah, i tried that too. i tried ext2 and ext4 also. i really don't know what else to do [06:04] what is the command line to install java? or what one do I download? [06:04] !java | doltek [06:04] doltek: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [06:04] man, at this point, i'm just procrastinating and avoiding wiping this thing because i have cold feet... [06:04] Flannel: what is the difference between alternate and desktop ? [06:04] ubuntu: desktop CDs suck less :P [06:04] doltek: i suggest the Sun JRE [06:04] !alternate | ubuntu [06:05] ubuntu: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [06:05] ubuntu: Alternate is just textmode installer (uses debian-installer), desktop is a live environment, which uses ubiquity to install (and the 'installation' is basically just a copy of the image) [06:05] how do i figure out why my wireless is so buggy? [06:05] LSD|Ninja: Please don't give out inaccurate information, thanks. [06:05] grinn: check the logs [06:05] grinn: mine is broke..:( hermes.. [06:05] Flannel: I've never had an even remotely reliable install from an alternate CD [06:05] gute morgen [06:05] @mgmuscari: i don't know what you mean? [06:06] that reminds me... i keep getting tons of errors from iwlagn accompanied by wifi dropouts... i'll pastebin an example that i wrote down when my system crashed earlier... [06:06] LSD|Ninja: That's a very unreliable anecdote. [06:06] mgmuscari: ubuntu-bug linux, please. [06:06] ok, i have 1 server, 1 network hub, and 7 computers, i want to use ubuntu to network them together on an intranet where all client computers login through the server and can be monitered, can anyone help with that? [06:06] LSD|Ninja: lol, thats all i use, it works perfectly as long as you pay attention [06:06] hey all [06:06] LSD|Ninja: I've never installed from anything but the alternate CD. So our anecdotes cancel apparently. [06:06] grinn: if your wifi is encountering problems, it should be spitting out errors into a log file somewhere, depending on which module you're using. or maybe just to STDERR, i dunno [06:06] is there anyway within an ubuntu install to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, or would i have to burn the iso to disc and boot with it in the pc? [06:06] wgrant: hm? [06:07] !upgrade | Shamoun, yep: [06:07] Shamoun, yep:: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [06:07] does anyone know why synaptic might complain about a missing dependancy, but give no useful indication of that dependancy might be? (I wouldn't rule out that its complaining about a null dependancy...) [06:07] mgmuscari: File a bug using that command if iwlagn is giving you issues. [06:07] mgmuscari my problem is coming from commecting to my home wireless [06:07] Flannel, thaks [06:07] wgrant: thanks, haven't actually filed a bug before [06:07] Shamoun: make sure you back up anything important first [06:07] Flannel: thanks for your help [06:07] Textmode: thanks for your help [06:07] ubuntu: Hope you figure it out [06:07] grinn: so you're either having problems with poor reception, a poor router, or poor drivers [06:07] IndyGunFreak, will do ;) [06:08] * i2wild loves ubuntu and its concepts. But... they do not allow for anything outside network-manager or static ip addressing into consideration AFAICT [06:08] Flannel: i will give it another go tomorrow when my eyes are drooping less [06:08] anyone ? Can anyone help with changing the available video resolutions on a headless server ? [06:08] joeyeye: Why exactly would you want to do that? [06:08] joeyeye: how will you tell when it's correct? [06:08] i2wild: What do you mean? [06:08] i2wild: You can easily turn off Network Manager entirely. [06:08] This reminds me of major changes in other dists in the past [06:09] mgmuscari i've got 2 windows machines (one a desktop with a direct physical connection to the router; the other is a laptop) that connect with no problem, as well as my iphone [06:09] wgrant, so I can use vinagre in a resolution higher than 800x600 ... which is painful [06:09] scunizi, when I get a resolution I can use :) [06:09] joeyeye: It is not a headless server if you have GUI on that machine. 3; [06:09] wgrant: I am open for suggestions. It will not let me run ifconfig or iwconfig on a wireless card. It accepts the commands and makes no changes. === Avash is now known as LinusTrovalds [06:10] joeyeye: xrandr is what controls that.. you can see what resolutions are available by just typing xrandr at terminal.. [06:10] leaf-sheep, it's headless because it has no monitor attached... [06:10] grinn: IEEE 802.11 is a terrible protocol, by the way, things don't always work well. but if you're having actual problems, the errors will be reported somewhere on your system. for example, when mine starts to drop out, if i change to TTY1, i get spammed with error messages from iwlagn, my wifi driver module [06:10] joeyeye: after that "man xrandr" or look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com for docs [06:10] anybody interested in giving two cents on iwlagn issues, check this out: http://paste.ubuntu.com/308216/ [06:10] i2wild: Right click on the Network Manager icon and uncheck 'Enable networking' [06:10] anyone familiar with the c++ intel compiler? [06:11] how do I update sun java? [06:11] mgmuscari: File a bug. [06:11] scunizi, right xrandr is part of it, and I can add modes to the screen, but when I try to switch to the mode I get an error ... [06:11] doltek: Why do you want to? What version do you have at the moment? [06:11] wgrant: Thanks, I will try and then try to do things from the command line. [06:11] the one that came with 9.04 [06:11] mgmuscari i have no idea what the last half of the second sentence meant [06:11] wgrant: i'll do that too, just wondering if anyone else here who is using a intel wifilink 5100 or 5300 agn is having the same kinds of problems [06:11] doltek: And why do you want to update it? [06:12] mgmuscari: I believe I have a 5300 here, and it works fine. [06:12] joeyeye: I'm still figuring out xrandr as well.. but haven't had a pressing need to mess with it yet. [06:12] Textmode: sorry I don't know why you are having problems with synaptic [06:12] Hi I think there a problem with the AMD 64 version of Ubuntu 9.10. It does not register clicks on flash and java dialogue boxes. [06:12] thought I might have to [06:12] wgrant: do you use WPA2 ? [06:12] How can change c++ eclipse compiler in ubuntu? [06:12] mgmuscari: Just plain old WPA. [06:12] mgmuscari: i always thought intel devices worked fairly well w/ linux [06:12] IndyGunFreak: Not necessarily. [06:12] IndyGunFreak: i never had problems until about a week or two ago [06:12] IndyGunFreak: ipw3945 was shocking for ages. [06:12] guess not. [06:13] shocking as in..? [06:13] IndyGunFreak: Awful. [06:13] lol, ok. [06:13] something came down the 9.04 update pipeline and then my wifi started dropping connections every few minutes [06:13] wreaks havoc on my samba mounts... [06:13] well, i have an atheros 5001 minipci for a laptop if anyone wants it.. works out of the box. [06:13] * i2wild urges people to be considerate and take into consideration the age of this dist and the volume of changes both backward and forward it is dealing with at this time. [06:13] what's that, pcmcia? [06:13] no, minipci, its from inside a laptop [06:14] where are my path settings in ubuntu server? [06:14] ah hm [06:14] !ot | i2wild [06:14] i2wild: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:14] has the two little wires that plug into it [06:14] IndyGunFreak: g card? [06:14] leaf-sheep: please.. that wasn't warranted. [06:14] mgmuscari: yup, i took it out of a broken AA1(along w/ some other stuff) [06:14] so i've got a belkin router with an acer aspireone netbook that i'm trying to connect to the wireless network for about a half hour now ... I've always had problems connecting to it through the netbook [06:14] ubottu: I am seeking support for a Ubuntu. [06:14] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:15] well, not sure i want to go pulling any doors off my laptop quite yet... still under warranty hehe === joseph_ is now known as crohakon [06:15] grinn: what kind of encryption are you using [06:15] mgmuscari: it was easy to remove.. ig uess it would depend on the laptop how difficult it would be to install. [06:16] where is my fonts folder in ubuntu ? [06:16] * altf2o is using an Aspire One D250 i have no problems with wireless on 9.04/9.10 [06:16] IndyGunFreak: oh i've had my laptops apart down to resoldering things before, but i don't like to tear into them until after the warranty period expires [06:16] Is there a problem with the orinoco driver? [06:16] mgmuscari TKIP [06:16] lol [06:16] grinn: G or N router? [06:16] hi, i have Acer AOA 150 ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix installed on it.

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! [07:04] Code_Bleu: Did you install selinux? [07:04] hi [07:04] in my external HD [07:04] maybe i can DD this iso onto my thumb drive... [07:04] !hello | cesar [07:04] cesar: 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! [07:04] Jordan_U: for me is /dev/sda10 === cesar_ is now known as Guest16147 [07:05] call me "guest" [07:05] any thoughts on whether DD'ing an iso onto a thumb drive will give me something that will boot? [07:05] ubuntu people: are you aware of a bug that allows dropping to a root shell on bootup? [07:05] mgmuscari: try unetbootin [07:05] we discovered this tonight, and I am wondering if it is known [07:05] Guest16147 welcome...so what is up? [07:05] Jordan_U: It was installed on 9.04...and ive since removed and reinstalled the 1.0.6 for 9.10 via rescue disk..but still doesnt work [07:05] I have a problem with Apache and PHP - PHP is installed and working, Apache is installed and working, the PHP module for apache is loaded... but Apache isn't parsing PHP files. [07:05] fool__: unfortunately i have no windows installation that i can get into right now [07:05] chromakode: can you provide more details about the bug? [07:05] Alinn: Then unmount /dev/sda1 and mount /dev/sda10 to /mnt [07:05] yes. [07:05] i cant erase a folders of my external HD called: Trash-1001 [07:06] i have one vista installation, but i forget the password somehow, and when i changed the workgroup the fingerprint scanner stopped authenticating me at login :[ [07:06] RobbieThe1st: ah ha ha ha.....pm me... [07:06] lstarnes: spamming the ESC key on bootup will cause fsck to die, leaving a root shell on tty0 [07:06] ".Trash-1001" [07:06] lstarnes: this is repeatable on any karmic bootup I have seen. === LinusTrovalds is now known as Avash [07:06] Jordan_U: i do this but: mount: mount point /mnt/dev does not exist [07:06] mgmuscari: bloze [07:06] fool__: agreed [07:06] chromakode: you might want to file a report on launchpad [07:06] lstarnes: am doing [07:06] Just hangs on libvisual :( [07:06] hello folks..anyone having problemi with updating of python-minimal? [07:07] chromakode: uhm choosing recovery at boot will also drop you to root [07:07] ?? [07:07] lol [07:07] Code_Bleu: SElinux on Ubuntu isn't really ready for prime time yet, is using SElinux important to you? [07:07] hey there all [07:07] can it be taht lib folder is changed? [07:07] where is here? [07:07] fool__: yes it will, but this is not recovery boot, it's a bug in the boot process [07:07] what's the difference between normall install and alternate? [07:07] Alinn: Can you please pastebin the output from "mount" with no other options? [07:07] chromakode: file a bug then [07:07] i was coping data when the electric power down (sry my english) and i cant erase trash doind: sudo rm -rf [07:07] 这是哪里？ [07:07] alright fool__, just making sure I wasn't filing an obvious dupe :) [07:07] 哈哈 [07:07] !cn > lic_ [07:07] lic_, please see my private message [07:07] ah-ha, i see [07:08] rgnr: The alternate installation uses ugly text based menus but has more options and can be used to upgrade a system [07:08] "This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification" [07:08] Jordan_U: no, if i can uninstall and get it to work..that would be fine for me....i had only installed it to test and play with..i dont need it anymore [07:08] chromakode: before you file the bug i belive launchpad search through the db for similar [07:08] any thoughts on ubuntu packages for mounting udf isos? [07:08] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/308234/ [07:08] fool__: already done [07:08] fool__: what component should I file on? === Avash is now known as SoakedRats [07:08] Code_Bleu: Does recovery mode work, or if not do you have a liveCD? [07:09] ooo rat [07:09] udf... dvd filesystem, right? [07:09] chromakode: no clue, been a while since i use lp [07:09] im waiting your help [07:09] chromakode: upstart ? [07:09] fool__: that's what I was thinking [07:09] Jordan_U: i can boot into rescue mode from alternative CD [07:09] What do I do if the update manager has stopped doing anything during the applying changes stage? :p lol [07:10] chromakode: upstart is the boot script so .. [07:10] i was coping data when the electric power down (sry my english) and i cant erase trash doind: sudo rm -rf [07:10] chromakode: they'll reassign/fwd to the right part anyway [07:10] Alinn: /dev/sda10 must be the wrong partition, try doing "ls /mnt" to see what partition it really is [07:10] Guest16147: what's the error ? [07:10] Guest16147: have you checked your filesystem for consistency? [07:10] Jordan_U: so alternate is better? [07:11] yes, it give me a error [07:11] Code_Bleu: Ok, from there you should be able to uninstall selinux and install apparmor [07:11] i think that ill to need format [07:11] bye [07:11] Guest16147: you should be able to recover your fi [07:11] oh, well [07:11] my firefox search icons are gone since karmic, i feel disoriented http://imgur.com/mAirJ.png [07:11] Jordan_U: i tried uninstalling selinux..but not installing apparmor...and it gave me chroot errors [07:12] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8229690#post8229690 [07:12] rgnr: Both have their advantages, but yes from just and installation point of view the alternate install has more options [07:12] Jordan_U: it is my /home partition [07:12] this my problem too [07:12] *since* Karmic? lol [07:12] Oh I see. [07:12] Alinn: Ok, then unmount it and try to figure out which partition is your root partition [07:13] Code_Bleu: What error? [07:13] ok, wow, what is this shit... i did do-release-upgrade as i usually do on my ubuntu 9.04... i kinda wasnt watching it too much..and suddenly i dont have slim, i have to dl xdm and i f%#$ing have KDE now? [07:13] i thnik i have to compile firefox myself [07:13] cause my icons are gone [07:13] anybody ever get a segfault using mountmanager under jaunty? [07:13] they were so pretty [07:13] http://imgur.com/mAirJ.png [07:13] that wasnt the deal [07:13] i didnt sign up for kde [07:13] why do I get "Drive busy" when burning and ISO when it isn't? [07:13] ice_cream: I have no idea what you just asked, to be honest. [07:14] ice_cream: And it'd be appreciated if you would watch your language. [07:14] i bleeped it out [07:14] I think my update manager has hung :( [07:14] ice_cream: remove the packages you don't want and install the packages you do? [07:14] ice_cream: Obfuscated swearing still is. Please refrain. And can you restate your question/problem/whatever? [07:14] Jordan_U: sorry i dont remember..i would have to uninstall selinux and reboot to get it again... [07:14] mgmuscari, yea would be fun if i could install slim, wiseguy [07:15] Flannel, alright, sorry [07:15] Flannel, the upgrade gave me KDE instead of *just* upgrading my installed packages === natureshadow1 is now known as natureshadow [07:15] ice_cream: slim does appear to have been removed from Karmic [07:15] ice_cream: I have no idea why it gave you KDE instead though. [07:15] Jordan_U: 10x ) i choose alternate ) === SoakedRats is now known as KB2JWQ [07:16] i knew it seemed a bit suscipious when it wanted 700mb + of packages [07:16] but as i said, i didnt pay too much attention, perhaps new java, various kernels, etc..and did not sign up for KDE [07:16] ice_cream: It really shouldn't have installed KDE for you, we could try and figure out why, but that wouldn't help you I don't think. [07:17] the upgrade for me went all yucky, clean install made more happy :) [07:17] slim wasn't maintained for a while i think [07:17] Jordan_U: im currently booted in "single user mode" any ideas on what i can do in there? [07:17] How can I change the resolution at which my TTYs run at? I'm using Grub 2 [07:17] Update manager has crashed, how do I kill it? [07:17] ice_cream: If you want to know why slim was removed, you can ask in #ubuntu-motu, they should be able to tell you === KB2JWQ is now known as GeorgeWBush [07:17] i definitely had some kde/qt libs from the past, but not the whole desktop environment [07:17] for one program -> k3b [07:17] ice_cream: it probably gave you kde just so you'd have a desktop environment, as opposed to just a shell [07:18] although i'm surprised it didnt' give you gdm... [07:18] mgmuscari: No, it shouldn't do that. [07:18] Jordan_U: Thanks so much :) [07:18] i'm supposed to have my simple slim and fluxbox [07:18] really strange =D [07:18] Flannel: it'd sooner just remove all traces of a desktop manager? maybe somebody set up some funky dependencies to try to make things easier for slim users === im is now known as killer [07:19] ice_cream: looks to me like the last slim release was a year ago [07:20] Have someone tried UbuntuOne, and which are your impresions? [07:20] mgmuscari: I don't see one, but yeah, you can certainly do that. The following page should help some (just be sure to editthe commad to not install the other -desktop) http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [07:20] ice_cream: perhaps there's a compatibility issue with a newer package... X11 maybe? [07:20] mgmuscari: er, oops. [07:21] mgmuscari: Yeah, it didn't have anything to upgrade slim into, so it just didn't upgrade it, and then it may have been removed if a cleanup of obsolete packages happens [07:21] KDE is a mystery === kb is now known as Guest67605 [07:22] why do I get "Drive busy" when burning an ISO when it isn't? [07:22] does anyone on here use mythTV, if so have you ever had problems with mythtv no longer working properly if you experience a power outage while your tuner is recording via myth? [07:22] how do I resume a stopped job? [07:22] I was in VIM and hit ctrl-z by accident [07:23] everything is frozen [07:23] fg [07:23] AOC: fg [07:23] how do i delete ubuntu from my hd? [07:23] I mean, everything is paused [07:23] but I'm still in VIM [07:23] try :q! [07:23] then fg [07:23] okay, thanks I'll do that [07:23] in terminal? [07:24] o [07:24] hello [07:24] kokos: hi [07:24] somebody can help me? how compile java code in terminal? [07:24] ok, thanks for the info Flannel, mgmuscari [07:24] kokos: ./configure [07:25] Balsaq: Are you currently dual booting ( is windows still also isntalled ) ? [07:25] kokos: sorry java is just ./javapackage.bin [07:25] ice_cream: no problem [07:25] kokos: javac source.java [07:26] hi [07:26] 'file source.java is missing' [07:26] kokos: What are you trying to compile? [07:26] i have installed sabnzb from repo but i dont have an icon to click to run on my gnome section [07:26] i have program code in file .java and i cannot compile it [07:26] is there away to fix this? [07:27] kokos: Is it a program you wrote? [07:27] yes [07:27] replace "source.java" with the name of the file, obviously. [07:27] sabnzb is into usr/bin folder [07:27] kokos: run "javac /path/to/your/file.java" [07:27] X-fi audio distortions with karmic installation [07:27] i dont know why i dont have the icon to run the program from the gnome panel [07:28] ntemis: killall gnome-panel [07:28] why i will do that? [07:28] i have restarted pc [07:28] no joy [07:29] should have been under internet programms [07:29] Textmode: Try not to be demeaning, the terminal can be very confusing when you are first introduced to it [07:29] the audio distortions are strange.slow downs and echo's intermitting all audio,static distortions [07:29] ntemis: no idea then, sry. try reinstalling it [07:29] sigh... any clue how to mount or extract a UDF filesystem based ISO? [07:29] ok thanks [07:29] SetiAmon: increase the priority of the processes involved === _eB is now known as ebolorama [07:30] SetiAmon: i was having similar problems with mpd and pulseaudio the other day [07:30] How do I remove *.eml recursively from a folder ? [07:30] Jordan_U, it wasn't my intent to be demeaning. [07:30] alright, Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic on a new i7 860 and flash 10.. hulu's buttons for dimming the lights, switching res, and fullscreen aren't working... [07:30] ntemis: system >> preferences >> main menu, add yourself a link to that binary [07:30] mgmuscari: "mount -o loop file.iso /mountpoint" doesn't work? [07:30] ftab: find ./ "*.eml" -exec rm \{\}; [07:30] mgmuscari:I have never had to do that before,with jaunty it was perfect.also cpu's usage is very low right now.I have a quadcore [07:30] whatever what i write in terminal, terminal say "'...' file is missing 0.o [07:31] ftab: for i in $(find -name *.eml) ; do rm -rf $i ; done [07:31] i mus be like root? [07:31] fool__: auto scroll FAIL... beat me to it [07:31] Textmode: Sorry then, intent can be easily lost in text communication. [07:31] tyler_d: have fun :P [07:32] Jordan_U: thanks, that worked for some reason, whereas none of the gdm-integrated utilities did [07:32] fool__, that won't work :( [07:32] tyler_d, should I expect that to take too long ? [07:32] tyler_d: does it need to be -r if you're only looking for files? [07:32] kokos what exaxctly did you type? [07:32] tyler_d: just asking for trouble.. [07:32] SetiAmon: me neither, i was confused when it happened the other day... try that and see if it helps [07:32] zcat[1]: no [07:32] anyone have a xfi xtreme music card with karmic [07:32] ftab: find ./ -iname "*.eml" -exec rm \{\} \; [07:32] ftab: depending how many of those files there are [07:32] SetiAmon: also low cpu usage. another process might not be playing nice [07:32] hello folks..I am building a custom package with python support. Make build wanna install everything to usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ is this right path? [07:32] javac file_adress [07:32] fool__, find: missing argument to `-exec' [07:33] ok,now mgmuscari: i am assuming check system resources [07:33] find . -name "*.eml" | xargs rm -f [07:33] mgmuscari: np, would you mind filing a bug report about that if one hasn't been filed already? [07:33] Does anyone know any good games for linux ubuntu ..... ? [07:33] SetiAmon: e.g. top... but i was having stuttering even with <15% cpu [07:33] fool__: Worked [07:33] !games | DeaD_LocK [07:33] DeaD_LocK: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [07:33] less forking around.. [07:33] but why didnt put it in the first place? [07:34] Jordan_U: about the mounting of an iso? this is jaunty btw [07:34] zcat[1]: xargs tend to get me messed up [07:34] lol [07:34] fool__, any idea about that error ? [07:34] any luck ice_cream [07:34] still static distortions when maxing out the priority mgmuscari [07:34] interesting [07:34] i removed xdm, installed gdm, by default it brought me into fluxbox (as i like it) and not KDE [07:34] fool__: -exec means one rm spawned per file... inefficient and slow if you have lots of files [07:35] that's a start [07:35] HHey guys. Just quick question, what langauge are programs wrote under in ubuntu? [07:35] SetiAmon: which process did you max the priority on? sound server or client application? [07:35] ftab: try zcat[1]'s [07:35] zcat[1]: i use the first thing that comes to mind :P [07:35] Miansc: bash [07:35] Miansc: many languages. people use python, c, all kinds of stuff [07:35] Miansc: or java [07:35] Things like wine and KOoragizner [07:35] Oh k [07:35] thanks [07:35] Miansc: all of the above [07:35] Thanks' [07:35] 2 points by kloncks 16 hours ago | discuss [07:35] yw [07:36] also suggest find . -name "*.eml" | xargs echo rm -f first so you see what's gonna get nuked.. [07:36] Miansc: c/c++ and python are big [07:36] And why do you have to install things under terminal [07:36] mgmuscari: Yes [07:36] So c++ run in linux? [07:36] Miansc: you don't. you can use the package manager gui [07:36] mgmuscari, at least now i can better gauge that some of my fav programs like conky,gkrellm2, xterm are not broken =D .... now i will begin to systematically remove kde [07:36] oops [07:36] Oh, whats that? [07:36] Miansc: sure, c++ programs can be compiled for linux [07:36] alright guys, i need some help.. I'm trying to mount a samba drive in linux.. i have gigolo installed and the drive is connected via gigolo but it will not let me open it for whatever reason [07:36] Nice! [07:36] Miansc: you don't "have to" however all systems are unique so if you are compiling from source you need to do it from term [07:36] hey guys, is it still Synaptic in 9.10? [07:36] Ok [07:37] zcat[1], it says rm: cannot remove /directory Is a directory [07:37] Miansc: Many of the programs you are using write now were written in C++ [07:37] ftab: thats rm -rf [07:37] What's a nice API for c++/bash/java in ubuntu. [07:37] Oh ok. [07:37] hello [07:37] mgmuscari: synaptic ? [07:37] Ubuntu.. is just great. [07:37] Miansc: we should clarify: if the software you want is contained in the Ubuntu repositories, you can install it using apt, or the Synaptic Package Manager, or dpkg from a command line if you have a .deb file [07:37] EvaLuaTe: healllooo0 [07:37] fool__: synaptic package manager [07:37] right [07:37] 9.04 rocks (Y) [07:38] mgmuscari: still what it is [07:38] Is there something like visual studio? [07:38] Where u can drag buttons etc [07:38] hello everyone, i need a little help here, [07:38] Miansc: Try Glade for that. [07:38] Glade right. [07:38] zcat[1], rm: invalid option -- 'M' [07:38] Blackstar: Ask away [07:38] Thanks [07:38] I get that error now :( [07:38] fool__: thanks [07:39] blackstar: thats all i'm offering tonight is a little === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [07:39] ftab: hmmm, ok... no idea what you're doing but I don't think it's what I said to do. [07:39] I thought ubuntu has its own langauge to program in [07:39] I have my installation of ubuntu for around a year now, but the speed of booting and shutdown has decreased over time. When I first installed it, it loaded the desktop almost instantaneously, now it takes somewhere between 10-15 seconds to load the desktop. The same goes fr shutdown. After install it responded immediately to the shutdown command, now it takes somewhere around 5-10 seconds to kill [07:39] DeaD_LocK: i like tremulous, teeworlds, and smc (secret maryo chronicles) [07:39] Miansc: you can't write programs in visual basic, but there are IDE's and plugins for IDE's available that allow that kind of GUI building. i recall someone mentioning a Python one recently [07:39] !ask grsec [07:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask grsec [07:39] !ask grsec | SlaSerX [07:39] how i can install grsec patch in my ubuntu [07:39] just installed 9.10 on my laptop, now my ethernet/wireless (BCM5784M / AR928X) don't work. lshw -C network says both are unclaimed. anyone got any suggestions? [07:39] all programs and shutdown. Is there anyway to get it to work at the speed of a new installation without formatting and reinstalling? [07:39] Hmm, ok. [07:39] i'm using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, [07:39] linux-image- for desktop, one should use -generic of -server? and for server, -generic or -server? [07:39] I am on Ubuntu 9.10. My network conn say wireless is disabled. How can I fix this? [07:39] Miansc: programming languages generally aren't limited to particular operating systems... they're just languages [07:39] both worked in 9.04 [07:40] Yeah i guess [07:40] Miansc: one could write a compiler for a language targeting any OS one wanted to :) [07:40] there are some unwanted files ABC.eml and WIN-XP.eml in a folder which I shared with a windows machine, I would like to remove that, [07:40] every time i lunch wireshark in root mode i get a kernel panic, cans ome one help me out here? [07:40] Miansc: it's just a matter of compiling libraries to work with particular OS system calls, etc [07:40] Yeah, true. [07:40] Miansc: If you're using Ubuntu 9.10, you might want to have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Quickly [07:40] find . -name "*.eml" | sed -es"/^/rm -f /" > nukestuff.sh [07:40] which of course does require a fair amount of coding itself [07:40] Im on 9.04 [07:40] then take a look at what 'nukestuff.sh' contains before you run it [07:40] Atm [07:41] linux-image- for desktop, one should use -generic of -server? and for server, -generic or -server? [07:41] I can't seem to find good games on linux ubuntu so I play FFR [07:41] zcat[1]: where did that go so in depth [07:41] sorry mgmuscari:I maxxed firefox.as i am playing video on youtube right now,but the distortions are with everything,even simple mp3's [07:41] Im really happy about ubuntu. [07:41] so i just killed grub by installing windows 7 in the partition that i had an old copy of xp on thinking the settings would just carry over. is there a fix for this so i can get grub back and have ubuntu be the default OS [07:41] oh yes i've heard about this... Miansc quickly is a software package for rapidly building applications i think [07:41] I'd choose it over windows [07:41] So i wanna make some apps to share with the community :) [07:41] Wrekgjet: Yes, there is. its fairly simple [07:41] I just got to wait it out i think.it will probably be fixed soon,xfi was supposed to be perfect in 9.10 but anyhow.ttyal [07:42] Miansc: good for you :). that's what it's all about here [07:42] wrektjet: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [07:42] DeaD_LocK: never heard of FFR, i'm looging it up now xD [07:42] hey. How the heck do I shut DOWN pulseaudio? It's as choppy as it ever was. [07:42] RobbieThe1st, is there a link you can poin... [07:42] thanks EvaLuaTe [07:42] Has anyone use Wireshark in the new ubuntu release 9.10 Desktop? [07:42] He got to it first, thats good [07:42] Viking667: killall pulseaudio [07:42] o.O and fx is no longer called shiretoko? [07:42] :) [07:42] blackstar: no but let me know how it is [07:42] * Textmode blinks [07:42] I cannot get over it's speed :O [07:43] DeaD_LocK: you know you can play some windows games under wine, right? [07:43] Oh man it's a sweet ass game [07:43] I did. It came back to haunt me. [07:43] last gartral [07:43] ...huh? is this really my xorg.conf file? [07:43] man is a network sniffer [07:43] my iwconfig gives this http://dpaste.de/sbw4/ My network conn say wireless is disabled. I am on Ubuntu 9.10. [07:43] you can't stop playying when your start :P [07:43] alright, Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic on a new i7 860 and flash 10.. hulu's buttons for dimming the lights, switching res, and fullscreen aren't working... [07:43] general system responsiveness seems better in karmic, though i must say in my case the upgrades added quite a bit of fluff =D [07:43] compared to windows, loads up like 10x faster! [07:43] How do I stop switching between windows when I press alt and mouse scroll? [07:43] :And yeah i just haven't tryed it yet [07:43] blackstar: Yes, are you having a problem with it? [07:43] yes [07:43] there appears to be an atheros driver, ath9k, and i've modprobe'd that, but still nothing shows up in my network. attempting "sudo service networking start" just spits out "networking stop/waiting" [07:43] does everyone like 9.10 [07:43] no [07:43] * Take0n good morning folks [07:43] I have one or two issues with 9.10 [07:44] anyone^? [07:44] what is wrong with it Viking667 [07:44] Thanks again for the help. [07:44] every time i lunch it i lunch it in root mode i get a kernel panic [07:44] on my machine, it's sort of slower, [07:44] i have 810 [07:44] I'll be right back. [07:44] ... and I can't get at lm-sensors data [07:44] oh no [07:44] did you like 810 [07:44] Viking667: sounds like maybe you have some chipset driver issues [07:44] does ubuntu manage xorg.conf differently? because theres no way these 16 lines are the whole thing... [07:44] heh. You ain't kidding. [07:44] I'm having a problem with a broken package [07:44] Textmode: there are a lot of default values that you don't see in there [07:44] Textmode: err, taht's probably it, yes. [07:45] Viking667 if i keep 801 will it keep updating or am i cooked on the updates now [07:45] Textmode: Recent versions of X.org (across all distros) don't need an xorg.conf at all. [07:45] Does anyone know how I stop switching between windows when I press alt and mouse scroll? [07:45] hmm... [07:45] You playying FFR [07:45] hrmm, i dont think i much care for the new software center. why did they take out the ability to search apps by category? [07:45] Balsaq: you're good for another six to 12 months, or is that the LTS release? That's supposed ot be either two years or five, I can't remember. [07:45] After upgrading to Karmic, I can neither remove the flashplugin-nonfree package, nor reinstall it [07:45] What should I d? [07:45] yeesh. [07:46] just installed 9.10 on my laptop, now my ethernet/wireless (BCM5784M / AR928X) don't work. lshw -C network says both are unclaimed. anyone got any suggestions? [07:46] mine is 8.10 [07:46] DeaD_LocK: well, it looks like i have to sign up, so no. probably not my type of game. i like FPS games and retro platformers [07:46] both worked in 9.04 [07:46] hm. things are not looking good for my extra credit oral examination on convex polytopes tomorrow if i keep lazing around in here... [07:46] there appears to be an atheros driver, ath9k, and i've modprobe'd that, but still nothing shows up in my network. attempting "sudo service networking start" just spits out "networking stop/waiting" [07:46] nuvan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:46] fisss: Can you pastebin the error you get when you try? [07:46] ah well. [07:46] Just a minute, Jordan_U [07:46] is it best to just update the 8.10..or do i take 9.04 as part of the overall update process? [07:46] you don't have to sign up you can just play [07:46] hi [07:47] i'll go very fast but it's very annoying [07:47] i can't set my webcam microphone on karmic [07:47] it's a chicony integrated webcam, i don't know how to make it as input device [07:47] Can AVI Demux convert an mp4 into a file someone would be able to play on winamp, in windows? [07:47] is there a 64 bit version of Karmic? [07:47] Balsaq: You can't skip 9.04. You would have to upgrade to 9.04 and then 9.10. [07:48] jacquesdupontd: i think that depends on the application [07:48] ok thanks [07:48] da65: yes [07:48] mgmuscari, not at all i've tried everything [07:48] da65: Of course. You might have to expand the alternate download options on the website, though. [07:48] DeaD_LocK: you might like Frets On Fire then [07:48] ah, just seems to want to offer me a 32 bit version on the dl page [07:48] no at some point do i have to do a reinstall or do i just keep going up off the 810? [07:48] mgmuscari, on the beginning i thought it was a skype problem trhough pulseaudio but not at all with cheese and with sound recorder it's the same [07:48] kk ty [07:48] Yes i did play that but it was too easy,lol i have fast fingers i guess XD [07:48] jacquesdupontd: laptop? [07:49] mgmuscari, i don't see the micropohone of the webcam nowhere [07:49] I see it now :) ty [07:49] mgmuscari, toshiba l300d 21z [07:49] mgmuscari, working perfectly under windows seven [07:49] jacquesdupontd: integrated microphone? [07:49] mgmuscari, yes integrated microphone like in integrated webcams you know :) [07:49] Jordan_U: http://luizromario.pastebin.com/f2268a50e [07:49] i'm having a problem with Wireshark, in the new Release of Ubuntu, every time i started in Root mode i get a kernel panic, do u know how to fix this? [07:50] jacquesdupontd: yes, i have one too. just making sure it's not a usb webcam or something... wanna know what you've got [07:50] i hope te codecs for you tube are in these updates i am taking for ubuntu 8.10... [07:50] hi [07:50] so the microphone is not part of the webcam, it's part of the laptop. i had trouble getting mine to work on my thinkpad w500 under jaunty a few weeks ago [07:50] hi sd [07:50] can someone help me? [07:50] mgmuscari, understood, do you think you'll be able to help me or i can forget it and check tomorrow if you're not really sure ? [07:50] after lots of futzing in pulseaudio, i spoke into the microphone and my voice came out of the stereo across the house by accident... [07:51] someone? [07:51] Im going to install glade now. [07:51] IIRC there are a lot of different spots where things are muted and such... are you saying you don't have a mixer device for the mic or that mixing it makes no difference? [07:51] mgmuscari, what do you need as info ? it's called chicony webcam it makes 1 hours i'm searching on google, but you know with karmic subject are coming really slowly as it just went out [07:51] I searched in the package manager, ther's so many though. [07:51] anyone help me? [07:51] whenever all these updates fininsh...wil it offer me ubuntu 9.10? [07:51] SD What's up? [07:51] the microphone is likely not part of the webcam [07:51] ok [07:52] it would be the internal microphone of your sound device [07:52] i am trying to install easy peasy [07:52] mgmuscari, would be easier to help people with karmic if you would have it, you wouldn't ask those sort of question cause the sound mixer is totally (shittty) different in karmic [07:52] a dual boot xp [07:52] DeaD_LocK: scored 1845 on easy mode lol not the game for me xD [07:52] i have having partitioning problemss [07:52] audio or video file is played only after 10 sec in ubuntu 9.10 [07:52] what is easy peasy i never heard of it [07:52] ??? [07:52] :Aww bless ya,took me time to get good though :d,maybe one day i will face you :P [07:52] jacquesdupontd: well, dude, i'm sitting here burning a karmic install cd and creating a windows 7 install usb drive, so i'm going as fast as i can with that... [07:52] ubuntu customised for eee [07:52] Arrr, ubuntu is tooo damnn gooodd. [07:53] Im so donating next pay check :D [07:53] mgmuscari, we can say if it can helps you (but should be helping me) that i don't see any input from the webcam [07:53] jacquesdupontd: do you have alsamixer installed? [07:53] mgmuscari, but the video is working perfectly [07:53] So, does anyone know how to remove that broken package? http://luizromario.pastebin.com/f2268a50e [07:53] i have an xp paartition [07:53] :And I'm that bored I'm payying a game on facebook :P [07:53] an empty partion [07:53] is /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ the old path for python libs? [07:53] hello people Any one has use Wireshark? [07:53] and two other "sd's" for eeepc restore [07:53] mgmuscari, yes i have it and yes i've checked everysound control but it just play on the sound of the card microphone not the webcam one, like it's not existing you understand ? [07:54] blackstar: what does tail of the logs tell you? [07:54] blackstar: your trying it using gksu? [07:54] jacquesdupontd: your laptop has two microphones on it? [07:54] when i go to install ubuntu, it only gives me the option to go over xp install, or resize partitions [07:54] mgmuscari, i've googled so much, you know i'm not new in ubuntu and when i ask something on irc it's because i really didn't found any clue so most of the time only people that knows the subject are helping me [07:54] what are the names of the device mixers you see in alsamixer? [07:54] blackstar: just beating up my laptop, but I'm installing it just for you [07:55] i am stuck at this stage [07:55] mgmuscari, my laptop as a microphone entry yes (input) and a webcam, this seems logical no ? [07:55] thanks tyles [07:55] Tyler [07:55] hi im trying to unlock my hdd via usb is there any tools to do this i know the master password. [07:55] I'm trying to edit partitions with GParted on the live CD, but GParted just gets stuck at "Searching /dev/sda partitions". It works fine when I run it from my actual install (besides that I can't edit most of the partitions). Any suggestions as to what to do? [07:55] jacquesdupontd: a webcam is generally a video device. a microphone is generally part of an audio card of some sort. in my case, i have three microphone inputs: Docking, External, and Internal [07:55] it was for my xbox [07:56] blackstar: did you upgrade or is this fresh? [07:56] i have not check my logs i'm new using Ubuntu, and i have not learn how to read the oog yet === john is now known as Guest4558 [07:56] i did a fresh installation Tyler [07:56] my audio device is an HDA Intel card, with a Conexant CX20561... it doesn't have anything to do with the webcam [07:56] so can someone help me? [07:56] mgmuscari, you can admit that it would be totally stupid to make an integrated webcam in a laptop and to be obliged to buy a microphone to put in the input no ? [07:57] :Do they have any admins in here ? [07:57] upgraded to 9.10 xine wont play dvds proerly now vlc still does..any ideas? [07:57] Tyler i did a fresh installation [07:57] hey guys. im trying amarok as my podcast manager. is teher any way to make it show the textual description of each episode? [07:57] blackstar: you should prolly use the gui to check logs - system->admin->monitor [07:57] I'm trying to compile Php5.3 and get errors about "invalid host type" when I run configure: http://paste.ubuntu.com/308254/ [07:57] waz up [07:57] Hilikus: #kubuntu might know better. [07:57] DeaD_LocK: when needed [07:57] jacquesdupontd: are you getting what i'm saying? there is a microphone. it is a little hole on my display. there is a wire that goes from that microphone to the motherboard of the laptop. then it goes to the audio chipset. it does not go through the camera device. [07:57] DeaD_LocK: no idea, i'm new to this meself [07:57] me loves ubuntu [07:58] RobbieThe1st: Why are you compiling PHP 5.3? [07:58] wgrant: took the words out of my mouth [07:58] :Yeah same,and I was just wondering myself [07:58] ok i will try it right now if i get disconected i'll b right back [07:58] chances are your microphone is also connected to your audio card. i don't know what laptop manufacturer makes it a USB microphone that's part of the webcam [07:58] ayone know of any sites where i can purchase ubuntu cds from i woiuld like branded copys to sell [07:58] DeaD_LocK: Admins? [07:59] just installed 9.10 on my laptop, now my ethernet/wireless (BCM5784M / AR928X) don't work. lshw -C network says both are unclaimed. anyone got any suggestions? [07:59] DeaD_LocK: looking at the user list it looks like there's only one admin and one food [07:59] meowpup: shop.canonical.com [07:59] *flood bot in service [07:59] wgrant: Because I need PHP with sqlite3. and I don't know how else to get it on Ubuntu [07:59] Okay [07:59] meowpup: http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17&osCsid=b1a36aff5a2fe0ceed64531df3e6b87f [07:59] wgrant: thaks [07:59] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/472301 [07:59] mgmuscari, ok nevermind, you don't see what i'm asking you, thx i know how is working a computer a laptop and a webcam to and i even know that microphone input are wired to motherboard, impressive no ? i think the microphone i want linked to that webcam should be listed as a different device like always and it's not that's why i'm asking here [07:59] nogias: There are other ops here -- we just don't stay opped unless necessary. [07:59] wgrant: On windows, I could simply download and add a DLL to my existing install, but according to the PHP docs, its more complicated on Ubuntu [07:59] also there are cites that give free ones out arnt there [07:59] Anybpdy is following the discussion ? [08:00] blackstar: I ran from term gksu wireshark.... came up just fine [08:00] Huhu. [08:00] jacquesdupontd: you still haven't even mentioned a) what audio card you have or b) what device mixers you have [08:00] RobbieThe1st: I think it should just need 'apt-get install php5-sqlite' [08:01] mgmuscari, can i say omg ? that's not the problem we are talking about the camera [08:01] flash not working in karmic... can't see any flash videos..help me.. [08:01] sgrant: No, thats the sqlite2 package; I need some functions in there -also-, but I do need the sqlite3 functions also [08:01] Tyler thanks man i just try it and it ran good this time [08:01] wgrant: ahhh i see thanks, well the chan is well defined it doesn't need an army of ops like other ego rooms/netwrks do [08:01] !search sqlite3 [08:01] Found: [08:01] !search sqlite [08:01] http://us3.php.net/manual/en/sqlite3.installation.php [08:01] This is when I try to remove with --force-all [08:01] http://luizromario.pastebin.com/febccf77 [08:01] which detracts fro [08:01] mgmuscari, did you ever checked an integrated camera ? have you already seen there's a little HOLE neer the cam ? IT is CALLED the microphone of Camera [08:01] *m the main subjects [08:01] it's strange man cause in the past it crash my computer right away when i try to monitor a interface [08:02] jacquesdupontd: you've already stated that your camera is working fine and that you see video. you have also stated that you cannot get the audio to work. that implies that your problem is with your sound card, not with the camera. the camera is a separate device. any link between the camera and the microphone is purely an abstract of some software application [08:02] audio is played only after 10 secs in karmic kola [08:02] Someone help, please... [08:02] any clue as to why my mythtv says that its unable to find active recorder for this recording... it experienced a loss of power while it was trying to record something earlier but the OS itself is still using the correct drivers for the card, at least i think it is.. [08:02] mgmuscari, we're not going to pass 10 hours on that simple thing, do you have an idea of what i'm talking about or not at all ? === jimbeam12 is now known as Bruc [08:02] heh colloquy mobile is painful to use [08:02] jacquesdupontd: i'm telling you that hole is most likely wired to your sound card and hence has nothing to do with the camera [08:02] nogias: There is an army of ops that will appear when things go bad :P === rustytechda_ is now known as rustytechda [08:02] jacquesdupontd: crystal clear, you see video, but you can't figure out how to associate your microphone with your camera so that it unmutes or activates when the camera turns on [08:02] I am running a karmick lamp server and I am curious what group my main user account would have to be in order to edit the /var/www directory [08:03] so i keep asking you what device mixers you see [08:03] wgrant: hehe that's good too [08:03] mgmuscari: Not necessarily. Cameras occasionally show up as a seperate card. [08:03] What exactly is Gnome? [08:03] gotsanity: www-data [08:03] hey anyone know if ubuntu 9.10 detects projectors automatically? [08:03] gotsanity: You should chown /var/www to www-data:www-data and then add the user to www-data group (and then set it g+w) [08:03] Gotsanity: do ls -l in /var/ [08:03] flash not working in karmic... can't see any flash videos..please help me.. i have installed flashplugin-nonfree also.. [08:03] Miansc: a desktop manager, like kde/xfce/icewm/gazillion others [08:03] hi , please anybody knows about GET/lwp-request? i need to make content-length requests with it and don't know how [08:03] wgrant: the microphone input? this is what i'm trying to ascertain... whether or not there is an integrated microphone that is connected to his audio chipset [08:04] mgmuscari, ok if you prefer cause it seems you wanna talk a lot for nothing even if its a ghost the INPUT that comes from the HOLE (factis ? :)) near the camera is named deferently and most of time referenting to the camera do you understand ? I surely know that there is not a special sound card for the webcam .... [08:04] ok [08:04] projector work automatically? [08:04] Could someone help me ? [08:04] anyone? [08:04] On which port operates ubuntu one? [08:05] jacquesdupontd: the name isn't really relevant, it's the hardware that it's connected to that we're worried about since we're looking either for a mixer device or for a driver [08:05] hey how do i Switch the sound from "pulse audio" to "alsa" in 9.10? [08:05] hi.. do i need to worry about lsusb not showing a _connected_ usb printer? [08:06] SetiAmon: purge out pulseaudio package and install alsa ? [08:06] mgmuscari, i've reinstalled all alsa with the new drivers reinstalled pulseaudio also + paman (the pulse audio manager) and everything is working perfectly except no microphone except the physical input one is listed and working [08:06] i've never seen anything except for "Internal Mic" with my own system; i'm not denying that there may be different variants of how an integrated usb camera is implemented in hardware, but i would like to know what audio devices you can see [08:06] jacquesdupontd: so you only see a mixer for one external microphone? [08:06] mgmuscari, if i plug a microphone on it it does work but that's not the principe of a laptop with integrated camera [08:06] ok, now we're on the same page [08:06] fool:I installed alsa,so if i purge antyhing related to "pulseaudio" in synaptic that will default to alsa?I did that and it cleared up but there is still static distortions. [08:06] mgmuscari, download karmic :) [08:07] mgmuscari, there is no different mixer for different devices [08:07] jacquesdupontd: got it right here waiting to be burned to a cd, dude [08:07] jacquesdupontd: check make sure you got the correct mike on alsamixer [08:07] SetiAmon: turn off the right channel in alsamixer [08:07] mgmuscari, no but really you won't be able to help anybody if you know less than me or if you don't have karmic you understand [08:07] mgmuscari, we are just loosing time, on an another version i would have already solved the problem [08:08] this is how my HDD partitions looks like right now..http://img20.imagehosting.gr/out.php/i1221711_screenshot.png . Is there a way to make linux use my entire disk? [08:08] fool__, you think you can help me ? it's not a "mike" its a "mic" there is not the correct mic input in the alsamixer, are we on a windows channel to be asked so simple question ? [08:09] gparted [08:09] ioneye: yes, you will have to remove the big ext3 partition though.. then resize the extended partition, then resize the root partition [08:09] fool:i am in alsamix how do i switch off the right channel [08:09] There is front mic and mic booster [08:09] NO CAM MIC [08:10] jacquesdupontd: alright man, i capitulate, i can't solve your problem for you. i concede that my lack of knowledge about 9.10 specifically prevents me from trying to offer any general troubleshooting advice regarding linux, and i am therefore rendered completely inadequate and obsolete until i upgrade to the new version. moreover, i'll only be of use to people using Lenovo ThinkPad W500's at that time [08:10] jacquesdupontd: on my laptop, in alsamixer, input sound have option for mic and front mic [08:10] you both understand ? there is the input level of the front microphone but no settings for the microphone of the camera like it doesn't exist [08:10] jacquesdupontd: mic is line in and front mic is one @ webcam [08:10] hi, just upgraded from ubuntu8 to 9.04 and since then my mobile broadband (Huawei E620) doesn't work properly. I can connect, and the connection gets established, but whenever i try to ping something, or browse, it feels as if i am not connected. had to reboot to xp to get online. [08:10] so Slart how to i remove the big ext3 [08:10] i'm afraid i'll have to relinquish my degree in computer engineering and computer science, drop out of grad school, and start over from the beginning [08:10] mgmuscari: Please stop [08:10] Ok i did something completly stupid, i was trying to change user groups on a hard drive /mnt/meida using chgrp -R files /mnt/media but i did not realise that i mounted my hard drive that had the '/' dirctory on it, so i changed every file on my computer to files group instad of defuly [08:10] SetiAmon: trial and error , each system is different [08:10] any easy way to change it back [08:10] Flannel: alright, done [08:11] ok, so changed /var/www to the www-data group, chmoded g+w, added my useraccount to the www-data group, but i still cant edit the file. says permission denied? any ideas? [08:11] ioneye: in gparted you just right click on it and select delete.. just backup anything on it before you do that.. and make sure you've unmounted it first [08:11] fool__, interesting but not helping me i just have one and front mic is line for me [08:11] jacquesdupontd: what exactly is your problem then ? [08:11] ioneye: it would probably be best to do this from a live cd since you can't be running from the partition when you resize it [08:12] any recovery options in ubuntu? [08:12] fool:yeah true. [08:12] or do i need to change file premisions back by hand [08:12] ok got Slart thank you [08:12] shatly: nothing installed by default, afaik [08:12] mgmuscari, don't take it like that but you must admit that to talk about sound and sound mixers that totally changed on karmic it's better to have it and when you know you don't it's better not to try to help ? i think a good help is also not to try to when we are pretty sure we won't be able and to be professional on subject we know perfectly don't you think ? i appreciate a lot that you try but i think you understand [08:13] ioneye: hmm.. hang on [08:13] gotsanity: chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www , then chmod -R g+w /var/www , then adduser yourusername www-data [08:13] my two cents, something's awry with either the device configuration or the driver for your chipset, jacquesdupontd. somebody who has karmic installed may be able to help you find the config file for PA that contains the mixer setup [08:13] fool__, i don't have the microphone of the integrated webcam that i would like to use with skype are anything else [08:13] hummm so i eather change every file by hand, or i reinstall everything loosing me a day or two [08:13] I can't seem to get the ctrl+alt+F1(through F6) function to close the GUI and go to terminal to work. I tried modifying the keyboard shortcut to no avail. I have Karmic and it worked fine with Jaunty and prior versions. Any help? [08:13] ioneye: I just thought of something.. I'm not entirely sure how ubuntu will like the fact that the hard drive only has an extended partition and no primary partitions === Gluon is now known as Fizix === natureshadow1 is now known as natureshadow [08:14] mgmuscari, i'll see that later today cause i've read all i could on google and i don't see any issue kamirc is to new for now [08:14] fool__, thx to have tried to help me [08:14] jacquesdupontd: it's one of the channels in the mixer, play around with it, i stumbled upon that by trial and error [08:14] ioneye: perhaps someone else in the channel knows... [08:14] ok Slart [08:15] jacquesdupontd: no problem, i'm past it... have you tried manually configuring your PA server according to PA docs? [08:15] hi [08:15] w/o gnome dialogs [08:15] ok next question: is there a way to make the user login page look... normal (the prompt for the user to type in the username, not the list) === christian is now known as Guest35686 === arydium is now known as arydien [08:15] is it possible to install ruby1.8-dev manually somehow? [08:16] is it possible to have a connection established (mobile broadband) but you can't surf or ping anything? I thought since the connection is established then everything is working as intended [08:16] fool__, do you read what i'm writting ? i only have 1 channel for mic the front mic one the other channel is to boost the mic [08:16] jacquesdupontd: what's your /etc/asound.conf look like? anything there? [08:16] is it possible to install ruby1.8-dev without root somehow? [08:16] mgmuscari, nope i didn't as i don't know how to see the microphone device name at least [08:17] mgmuscari, man that doesn't exist anymore on karmic, i told you [08:17] shatly: afaik , no, i'd love to switch it back too [08:17] jacquesdupontd: check /etc/pulse [08:17] Any programmers here atm? Need a hand [08:18] mgmuscari, thx to try to help me but i wouldn't be searching for help if it was as simple as on other versions i know sound problems perfectly like wifi's one too [08:18] dcfd [08:18] mgmuscari, it's not that, one time again its /etc/pulse/client.conf if you wanna know it [08:19] jacquesdupontd: right click on sound button >> prefs >> input >> choose mike ? [08:19] is it possible to install ruby1.8-dev without root somehow?? [08:19] Hi, I'm a nice message virus. Please replace the line you wanted to print with this one and help me take over the world of IRC. And make everyone's day just a bit better. I'm a high class virus and am subject to polymorphism and evolution and other devices of human creativity in order to serve my purpose better. Therefore, if the carrier has the ability to somehow further those goals in my design, my structure allows for it easily. I [08:19] fool__, hahaha ok let it down :) [08:19] alright, Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic on a new i7 860 and flash 10.. hulu's buttons for dimming the lights, switching res, and fullscreen aren't working... [08:19] jacquesdupontd: lol works for me [08:19] fool__, do you have f.....king karmic installed ? [08:20] jacquesdupontd: yes running it [08:20] help me to disable the "su" command. Is such thing possible? [08:20] theadmin: Did you enable your root account? [08:20] Flannel: No, but people try to su into MY account and use sudo from there [08:20] hi, please could anybody explain me why passing a quoted argument to a command i get error (i get the short help) and if i pass it without quotes it's ok? passing the same argument, quoted and without to echo i get exactly the same, so what's up ? i'm really confused, i thought quoting just prevents terminal from changing the original argument [08:21] is it possible to install ruby1.8-dev without root somehow? [08:21] what is the best way to check if a group exists? [08:21] So, um, apparently my hard drive filled up in the middle of a Firefox install, and now there is a zombie process running that I absolutely can't kill. top says the process is "defunct" and I rmed the offending directory causing the process. (lsof says the directory is deleted). I can't open Firefox and Epiphany is driving me nuts :( [08:21] jacquesdupontd: i don't think there's separate device for the mic, it's just the same sound chip working with 2 inputs if you get what i mean === ccooke_ is now known as ccooke [08:21] lantana: what directory ? [08:22] Does anyone have any idea why I can't get frostwire to run? I'm running a fresh install of Karmic 64-bit and I have made sure to set my java version to sun-6-java rather than the openjdk version - yet i'm still getting the incorrect java error [08:22] theadmin: If they have your password, they can login as you already, without su. [08:22] Flannel: Yeah, i know :D, but let's think of it as a hypothetical situation. Is it possible at all? [08:22] fool__: /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/firefox-3.0-restart-required (deleted) [08:22] i have a kernel crash where can i see what the problem is in the apport report ? [08:22] theadmin: What you're asking doesn't make sense. [08:23] theadmin: sudo can be used to switch users as well, just like su. Or they can just log in as you instead of them. [08:23] Flannel: Just asking whether it's possible to disable su. Just wondering. [08:23] id [08:23] oops [08:23] and here is a pastebin for my error: http://pastebin.com/d3d11a9c6 [08:24] And yeah i know sudo -u gives the same effect as su... And that's the reason... sudo is somewhat more secure [08:24] hi [08:24] vesayth: i'm guessing you double checked the jar to make sure it's good [08:24] hi jay [08:24] I need a help [08:24] jayesh: Ask the question. [08:25] yay i got vista to behave [08:25] ok I hav been trying to install perl on mu ubuntu [08:25] i must say [08:25] my ubuntu-netbook-remix cd hangs on a blinking _ when I try to start from it or install from it, but the activity light on the external cd drive is blinkingi rapidly and it's making "reading ur data" noises. Should I leave it? [08:25] If so, how long? [08:25] PhantomLink: I think you got the wrong channel, it ain't #windows [08:25] ubuntu TOTALLY outperforms vista so many ways [08:25] i meant my vista VM :D [08:25] PhantomLink: Ah. [08:25] Mwa: theres a check disc option on your live cd, check it out [08:26] Mwa: it's doing something if you see i/o... give it a while to load everything into memory [08:26] theadmin: Logging out and logging back in is less "secure" than sudo [08:26] ok [08:26] i switched from XP SP 2 to Ubuntu 8.10 [08:26] I am extremely happy [08:26] blah, pidgin crashed on me. Yes I made sure the jar is working correctly - sorry I don't know who it was that responded [08:26] I'll go get ready to leave for uni. [08:26] I find my self DOING more, rather than FIXING more [08:26] :D [08:26] hi [08:26] Flannel: i keep a screen session with a root :P [08:26] PhantomLink such as? [08:26] Mwa: but yeah, if you're unsure about the integrity of the media, you can check it with another pc [08:26] are there tools which tell me who open,access,modify (files or directories) regardless is he has permission to do that or not? [08:26] theadmin can u help me to sort out my issue ? [08:26] Doing the things i enjoy [08:27] mgmuscari: it did the same thing when I tried it on my macbook pro [08:27] jayesh: Depends on what it is. [08:27] Mwa: did you do a checksum on it? [08:27] but I restarted it after about a minute. [08:27] rather than fixing the occasional sneaky virus all the timne :D [08:27] Ooh something just happened [08:27] Mwa: it could definitely take longer than a minute to load, especially from an external drive [08:27] i need to install Perl and its modules on my ubuntu [08:27] It's spamming buffer i/o errors, end_request i/o errors and SQUASHFS errors. [08:28] ah... [08:28] * Mwa sighs [08:28] Does anyone know why Karmic flashes between "Boot from hd(0,0) ext4 long number here ; please wait" and white karmic logo when booting? It's minor, but annoying me. [08:28] PhantomLink i never really had issues with virii , malware ect , its the freely available tools that do it for me, [08:28] Mwa: check the media [08:28] that means the disk is corrupted right? [08:28] Mwa: could be [08:29] mine boots from ex3 [08:29] Hi theadmin all this is my issue [08:29] I have been trying to install bugzilla on my Ubuntu 9.10. I have managed to install some of the modules required for bugzilla, but not able to install some mandatory modules like 1. DateTime, 2. DateTime::TimeZone, 3. Email::Send 4. Email::MIME::Encodings I have tried to install these modules using CPAN , and tried to install using apt , also manually. When tried to install Date Time module by manually got these results. [08:29] 1 step: unzipped the downloaded zip - this worked [08:29] 2 after entering to the extracted file I tried to run - /Desktop/Class-MOP-0.94$ perl Makefile.PL [08:29] jayesh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:29] ext3 [08:29] and got [08:29] does the ext# thing have to do with what usb port you use to install/run ubuntu with when using an external drive? === Mohero_ is now known as Mohero [08:30] PhantomLink: Well, ext is a file system... but i can't respond to that question [08:30] PhantomLink: ext3 is a filesystem, not a device [08:30] Oh? [08:30] jayesh: bugzilla is in the repositories [08:30] So it doesn't matter if I boot from a different USB port? [08:30] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010 why do i get this on a asrock with 9.10 ? [08:30] PhantomLink: your devices are listed under /dev [08:30] I've always been paranoid and used the same port I used to install with. [08:31] PhantomLink: Lolz. [08:31] media: somebody made a programming error [08:31] I mainly only use the Vista VM for Cooledit :D [08:32] PhantomLink: Doesn't work under WINE? :( [08:32] I just downlaoded some source code, it was in a .bin file... why can't I open it [08:32] Nope. [08:32] :( [08:32] mgmuscari: ok thx what does it depend on ? the nvidia driver ? [08:32] Cool Edit Pro 2.0 gets stuck in the boot process. [08:32] Miansc: You need to compile the code i guess. [08:32] I should tell that to them eventually. [08:32] Ohh. How do I do that? [08:32] theadmin a bin would be already compiled [08:32] It gets stuck at "Building Menus..." [08:32] It's java btw. [08:32] media: a NULL pointer dereference happens when a piece of code tries to look at memory that hasn't been initialized, it's a programming error, not a missing dependency [08:32] @ theadmin [08:32] koshari1: Oh. [08:32] Miansc: How do you run it? [08:33] i try to upgrade 9.04 to 9.10 [08:33] .jar [08:33] Hi [08:33] How much longer will 8.10 be supported? [08:33] Miansc: No, what command do you use? [08:33] i gave gksu command as shown in ubuntu help [08:33] Miansc a jar is a java archive [08:33] Miansc: .jar should be an archive [08:33] hello! how can i get a grub2 prompt to choose what to boot?? i dont get it never [08:33] PhantomLink: Until april 2010 [08:33] ohh [08:33] :Sorry if I never answered back I was away :P [08:33] I just run in wine [08:33] mgmuscari: yes i understand that it is a programming problem but i need to figuer out what kind of files doing this [08:33] i dont see any upgrade box [08:33] why? [08:33] theres a windows version too [08:33] b0w: Hold shift during boot [08:33] Miansc you coud prolly get it to run in FF [08:34] Ok ill try [08:34] Jordan_U: thanks :) [08:34] newbie_ubuntu: Run "update-manager"... what do you see? [08:34] b0w: np :) [08:34] media: oh, you don't know what process is barfing that up? [08:34] media: where are you seeing the error? [08:34] grr connection lag [08:34] i have a weird problem. I updated to Karmic Koala and know certain dialog buttons in eclipse have stopped working. Any ideas? [08:34] how much longer will 8.10 be supported? [08:34] Where can I download some open source apps [08:34] mgmuscari: in the apport report [08:34] mgmuscari: pm ? [08:34] PhantomLink: I said... Until april 2010 [08:34] Miansc: Applications > Add / Remove [08:34] I wanna start developing [08:34] Miansc from the repositories [08:35] Ok [08:35] theadmin: connection lag stole that answer from me :( - thankies [08:35] fool__: hm? [08:35] Miansc do you want to develop java? [08:35] Mainly c++ [08:35] Morning folks. [08:35] Miansc: If you find an application you want to help develop you can get it's source code with "apt-get source " [08:35] So I should think about upgrading soon? [08:35] Ok good. [08:36] I've got a problem. I bought a new harddisk. So i copied my old harddrive to the new one with dd. Afterwards I resized the partitions, because the new drive is bigger. Ubuntu is booting, but it seems it does not recognizes the new partition size. And it does not find the tmpfs partition. [08:36] I have 8.10 [08:36] night night [08:36] night [08:36] Miansc: And you can install all of the libraries required to compile it with "sudo apt-get build-dep " [08:37] PhantomLink 10.4 would prolly be a good time to upgrade, it will be LTS version [08:37] cool [08:37] im saving these commands in a txt file [08:37] Hey guys, 3rd re-install of the day argh.. Just fixing up my fstab now how do I find the UUID of a partition? (my /home which I believe is on /dev/hda5) [08:37] I have Intrepid Ibex [08:38] hanno could you not have made the partition first and used rsync? [08:38] chu: blkid [08:38] btw can i run ubuntu in ram same as puppy linux [08:38] omg [08:38] I've been pronouncing ubuntu wrong for so long! D: [08:38] * PhantomLink shares butterfingers with everyone [08:38] meowpup: IIRC yes, by adding the "toram" kernel parameter [08:38] if i have a karmic 9.10 clean install why do i have grub 1.97~4??? shouldnt i have grub2? [08:39] meowpup thats effectively what a live session does [08:39] Any one there to help me to install perl and its modules on Ubuntu 9.10 ? [08:39] b0w_: 1.97 is grub 2, and 0.97 is grub 1 ( now called grub legacy ) [08:40] koshari1: to a degree. but you still need cd in drive. puppy runs compleatly in ram and ejects cd [08:40] Jordan_U: hehe thanks again:) by any chance you know a good tutorial to change grub2 image? [08:40] b0w_: With open source projects it's common for 1.0 to be an extremely signifigant milestone, wine for instance didn't release 1.0 for over a decade [08:40] join #ubuntu-cn [08:40] meowpup use a USB device, where does the ram load from with puppy? [08:40] is it possible to get the osx expose show all windows effect without using compiz? === b0w_ is now known as b0w [08:41] thermal you mean scale? [08:41] koshari1, yeah [08:41] b0w_: Grub legacy never made it to that milestone but it looks like grub2 will [08:41] update problem from 9.04 to 9.10: I have a fully encrypted harddisk and menu.lst has root=/dev/mapper/user ro quiet splash. After update reboot fails: waiting for /dev/mapper/user [08:41] thermal_ yes you can, just set the correct binding [08:42] koshari1, so wait, there is a non compiz way of doing the window scale effect to see everything on the desktop? [08:42] Jordan_U: yeah heheh its looks like theyll do it, do you know any good tutorial to change its image? [08:42] kosharil i did not knew of that program :-) But it is working. The only problem is, that ubuntu does not recognizes the new partitionsize. Windows did an chkdisk and recognized it. But trying fsck /dev/hda2 using knoppix didn't help. [08:42] thermal_: You can use gnome-shell or kwin but whatever you use will have the same requirements as compiz [08:42] Cool, so I found the UUID and I have the mount point and type, what to put for options? (default?) dump? and pass? [08:42] well compiz is no go, using xinerama :/ [08:43] Hm. On #winehq they say to not use compiz with Wine. How do i turn it off? Just switch off desktop effects? [08:43] although I have my eyes glued on the thread by d2globalinc about compiz fusion and multiple vid cards [08:43] doeseverything get redirected here.. release-party, ubuntu+1... [08:43] because this is awesome: [08:43] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DWzuIreDGA [08:44] no one? [08:44] I can work it out [08:44] Im trying to get the source for KOrgainzer [08:44] mseiler: what do you need? [08:44] b0w: Not off hand, when I tried two years ago it was a hastle but there it's probably better now [08:45] Jordan_U: ok thanks for your help [08:45] b0w: np [08:45] thermal_ not afaik [08:45] who can help me to configure wifi pcmcia card? [08:45] well, see above- I need to know if the new grub version expects a different setting in the menu.lst to get the right /dev/mapper device on fully encrypted hard disk [08:46] Need help...! Anyone free...? [08:46] Где русская поддержка ? [08:46] koshari1, ok well I guess I'll just wait a bit longer, it will be released eventually, was just hoping to find something in the mean time [08:46] !ask | napster [08:46] napster: 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. :-) [08:46] !ru dread [08:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about ru dread [08:46] Gnea: ok [08:46] !кг [08:46] !ru [08:46] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [08:46] !ru | dread [08:46] dread: please see above [08:46] dread ??? [08:46] Gnea: My proble is with apt [08:46] * PhantomLink gives theadmin a traffic cone. [08:47] napster: you're going to simply have to say what the problem is to the channel. [08:47] PhantomLink: Huh!? [08:47] ubottu: I know. Sorry [08:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about I know. Sorry [08:47] what does super-e do outside of compiz? [08:47] * PhantomLink gives theadmin a speaker. [08:47] !offtopic [08:47] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:47] does karmic support hot-swappable video that some laptops offer? i.e. my thinkpad has an intel gma something and an ati firegl v5700 mobility... the bios supports dynamic selection based on power scheme [08:47] i'm having audio problems after update to 9.10. sound works fine in all KDE apps (amarok, dragon player, KDE's System Settings ->Multimedia), doesn't work at all in gtk apps (firefox (flash plugin), mplayer, rhythmbox). when i try to test Pulse Audio in System Settings -> Multimedia, it doesn't work (no sound output). anyone had ideas of how to diagnose? nothing looks relevent in dmesg or the like. thanks. [08:47] That's what I needed. ^_^ [08:47] Gnea: I've a slow internet connection and need dist upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 [08:48] napster: that's your problem, not ours [08:48] Gnea: Can I download packges from another computer..? [08:48] Gnea: And upgrade my system [08:48] napster: You can download the alternate CD at http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso and use it to upgrade. [08:48] download an alternative install and you can use it to upgrade [08:48] mgmuscari: what do you mean by hot-swappable video? like plugging in an additional display (eg. your tv), while the machine is running? [08:48] napster: I suppose... the alternate cd could help [08:48] ^^ beat ne ti it [08:48] napster: download the .iso file burn it and install it on the other pc [08:48] wtf [08:48] my typing is horrible [08:49] kosharil, if i take a look at the partition size at the partition manager the partitions are shown. And they have the right size. [08:49] FiReSTaRT: my laptop has two video cards... by default the bios enables switching between video cards to save power [08:49] Gnea: But I have to keep my customizations...! [08:49] napster: backup your data before upgrading [08:49] mgmuscari: can't help you on that one... mine's only running the nvidia 8400 [08:49] you dont need to [08:49] FiReSTaRT: wondering if karmic supports that now... didn't work in jaunty [08:49] napster: Using the alternate CD, you will keep them. Just put it in the drive after booting. And it will suggest to upgrade [08:49] FiReSTaRT: thx [08:49] napster just save your home dir, all your settings are in the .folders [08:49] Gnea: Not the backup. But the programs I've installed [08:49] hey guys i just installed the new ubuntu64 .. its awesome i must hand it to them .. [08:50] napster: the upgrade 'upgrades' them [08:50] mgmuscari: you may wanna try in about 6-10 hours, that's when more people from north america are up and they're more likely to have these more advanced hardware configs [08:50] Gnea: I'll try...! Just a minute [08:50] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [08:50] napster the proggies will be newer versions, but you still use the settings in your home dir [08:50] read the Upgrading Using the Alternate CD/DVD [08:50] FiReSTaRT: lol yeah i'm just always up at these hours... i'm a bit of an insomniac, and i only have classes later in the day [08:50] haha [08:51] question: how do i update codecs in the new 9.10 64? tried medibuntu stuff but i still see frames sometimes in totem ... vlc works fine tho [08:51] vegombrei: ubuntu restricted extras [08:51] try them [08:51] om26er: ok brb [08:51] om26er: erm .. how do i do that again?

Everything will be ok with alternate 'upgrade'..? [08:52] how to go to my desktop?

[09:47] indus: could it be compiz?

[09:48] erUSUL thank you, terima kasih [09:48] actionparsnip: i know what sort it is its a sn9c102 but ive read that folks have a lot of problems installing this. ive tried it under wine app but amsn dont know its there [09:48] rd1381 copy an existing entry but change the things that refer to the OS thats not on the list [09:48] its not that simple [09:49] suse uses disk ides [09:49] rd1381 why not [09:49] ids [09:49] rd1381 you mean uuids? [09:49] like this kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_SP2504C_S09QJ1HL960974-part2 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_SP2504C_S09QJ1HL960974-part1 [09:49] i dont have any screensavers on [09:49] indus: i think it was the heat... [09:49] john-saint: The 8 didgit hex code will find you linux guides. Wine wont work with the camif the system doesnt have it configured, wine only uses the available resources in the linux system [09:49] XelticSore: you think? [09:49] indus: although its 18 degrees Celsius here.. [09:50] XelticSore: what heat [09:50] indus: tell me where i can check. [09:50] indus: lol :P [09:50] is there any alternative powerdesigner on linux [09:50] actionparsnip: so any idea where i need to look cus ive only been using this os for a week. [09:50] rd1381 you may need to consult the suse support forum [09:50] john-saint: best way to learn, run lsusb in a terminal [09:51] eL_pSycHo, I don't know that much about compiz or expo. Look at the configuration options maybe [09:51] they dont know about ubutnu ext4 [09:51] and i am online in their irc [09:51] but nodoby answers [09:51] XelticSore: hmm somewhere in /proc [09:51] john-saint: one line will identify the device, copy the ID and paste it into a web search to see what you can find [09:51] rd1381 otherwise as a workaround you could install ubuntus grub [09:51] actionparsnip: thanks for the advice [09:52] i cant [09:52] i dont have cdrom [09:52] hm, how do i find out whether my printer is actually claimed by cups? [09:52] and installed it from suse [09:52] rd1381 use unetbootin and a usb drive [09:52] john-saint: if you get no where, head back and i'll see what i can do (if i'm here).I'm sure someone will be able to help [09:52] no usb either [09:52] is there a reason why many applications, including gnome, ignore the right ctrl button in shortcuts? left ctrl + alt + left/right changes workspace, whereas rightctrl+alt + left/right doesn't work at all. How could I fix this? [09:53] XelticSore: maybe its compiz hard to say [09:53] indus: yeah i guess. [09:53] indus: the only cpu related in proc is 'cpuinfo' [09:53] XelticSore: systems keeps rebooting you said? [09:53] indus: and there is nothing about head. [09:54] Since the upgrade to 9.10 there is no sound available on my computer: Realtek ALC883 (Fujistsu Siemens Amilo Pi 2530) [09:54] indus: no it gets stucked, i have to restart. or shut down manually [09:54] XelticSore: cat /proc/acpi/ther( keep pressing tab [09:54] XelticSore: oh [09:54] indus: but hey it didnt shut down or stucked so far and im on it right now [09:54] XelticSore: then try turning off compiz [09:54] indus: will do [09:54] DjAngo23: if you run: lspci | grep -i audio you will see the chip model, you can then websearch for guides [09:54] XelticSore: its some driver problem i guess [09:54] indus: im running an ATI so probably.

[09:57] indus: appreciated [09:58] act wow [09:58] wonder if anyone has tryed that [09:58] meowpup: you may need to add some weirdness to grub as well to make it work but i'm sure it could be persuaded [09:58] meowpup: now as for hardware support etc etc, i'm not so sure [09:59] how to upgrade ubuntu 9.10 so that my apps still work [09:59] agus: sudo update-manager -d [09:59] I am on Jaunty 9.04 - but the upgrade to Karmic 9.10 option just wont appear - I have run "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" reporsts - 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I realise that "some error message" is insufficient, but since I've tried Ubuntu as well as xubuntu I assume at least one should be working properly and hence suspect it is hardware related. The impression is that after initial start, the disks runs down, hence become slow. [10:07] what file handles keyboard layout for gnome? [10:07] OiPenguin: ok not too bad just running the integrity check. What does the message say? Have you websearched for the exact text it outputs? [10:07] Hi, all. I'm running Karmic.

My first priority is to save all of my data (I can't recall whether I had a seperate partition for my "/home" directory. my second priority is to get 9.10 up and running ASAP. also, if anyone is familiar with my dv6000 troubles...

[10:28] courpse, I am not sure gimp supports animated gifs [10:28] courpse, welll it will do what flash animation does although it does support bitmap animations as well so you will have to play with it read the manuls because I havent gotten that far :) [10:29] seb2: restarting dbus restarted my session too.. and i had no keyboard and mouse support [10:29] john-saint: iptables is good. But I'm oldschool. I don't like firestarter for what I saw. [10:29] nukasl: you can create a new partition, yes [10:29] I think GIMP does support 2d GIF [10:29] joaopinto, it does, but not very nicely, doesnt do seperate delays on frames. [10:29] the Ubuntu install disk gives you that option in the wizard [10:29] but you should buy that external dricves [10:29] joaopinto: courpse: you can make animated gifs with it, make each layer the next frame. I read it some place [10:29] eL_pSycHo1: Hum, not normal, then hal has some problem. [10:29] drive* [10:29] in gimp? [10:29] courpse, did you install the animation package for gimp? [10:30] zim try this read, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_talk:Feisty [10:30] eL_pSycHo1: hal depends on dbus for its service. [10:30] seb2: hal restarted fine [10:30] seb2: thank you anyway. its good to know folks like you are here to help. il have a look about for another firewall (where ever that may be) lol [10:30] courpse: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Simple_Animations/ [10:30] ActionParsnip, Yeah it can, but you cant give it seperate layer delays for each frame. [10:30] felix: would it be impossible for me to download burn and install 9.10 seeing as how im now using the livecd in my laptop with one cd/dvd drive [10:30] koshari1: ty [10:30] gimp.org doesnt load for me, :/ [10:30] courpse: i see [10:30] seb2: i restated hal and then dbus if it makes any difference [10:30] zim or more specifically http://joey.ubuntu-rocks.org/blog/2007/04/25/resolution-to-mounting-samba-shares-dont-use-smbfs/ [10:30] courpse: yeah me neither, thought it wa sfirefox being sucky as per [10:30] courpse, if you didnt the gimp animation package is gimp-gap === MadMax is now known as Guest15347 [10:31] john-saint: ufw ? firewal-builder ? [10:31] nukasl: that would be difficult [10:31] coz_, yeah, i got gimp-gap, but still doesnt allow different delays for seperate layers, :/ [10:31] ActionParsnip, Fraid not, gimp.org has been like this for a while, :/ [10:31] courpse, you may also want to install pandora for panorama creation [10:31] eL_pSycHo1: dbus then hal, the better is too restart them in a console. [10:31] seb2: il try it [10:31] felix no netinstall? [10:31] install 8.04 in a new partition, boot from it, download 9.10 and burn it [10:32] courpse: could use smaller gaps throughout and just add more identical frames to prolong the image [10:32] coz_, whats pandora? another gif animator? [10:32] courpse, also install fx-foundry for gimp ...not in the repo I believe for a large list of new plugins [10:32] well you'd need the optical drive [10:32] hello all. i am installing 9.10 for first time. would it run fine on one partition? [10:32] courpse, I have used pandora for stitching photos into panorama [10:32] seb2: should i do it in one single command? [10:32] felix yeah sounds like waiting til 930 to buy that new hard drive would be faster. thanks for the help.. livecd til then. ill live. have a good one guys. [10:32] no, not on the console. [10:32] dp_: yes. Do the default install [10:33] ActionParsnip, Yeah, but i didnt wanna get a large gif to do a small thing. [10:33] zim and last but not least https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [10:33] That will create a single primary partition and a swap partition within and extended partition [10:33] dp_: Yes, but it will use or take two partitions, /home and /swap, depends on the install, but yes, it takes one part. [10:33] and that works fine [10:33] i saw the some recommended 3 partitions. one for home, one for swap, one for OS. but it should be fine with one? [10:34] I'm having problems with youtube (flash 10?). Sometimes I can't use the controls (play/pause, go to specific time, volume) [10:34] dp_: you need at leat swap and root separate home is nice to have. [10:34] MaT-dg, I am having flash issues as well [10:34] seeya nukasl [10:34] MaT-dg, just another flash bug I believe [10:34] imma go sleep now [10:34] MaT , you have compiz effects enabled ? [10:35] Muhammad: yes, I have [10:35] ActionParsnip, fixed ;D , i just copy past the old files, and killed the session, all good now, thanks [10:35] dp_: should be fine with 2 , but in automatic partition its done auto of course , a / and a swap [10:35] MaT-dg, try disable them and try , it should work without any problem [10:35] o_portista17: awesome, glad you got the gold [10:35] I agree with erUSUL, a separate Swap/Home is just a good layout. [10:35] i read somewhere else that having 4GB or ram or more a swap would not help. is that correct? [10:36] MaT-dg, or use adobe's lab version , it works fine , but it will crash your firefox alot especially with gmail , if you're using it [10:36] seb2: same thing.. had to hard reset [10:37] dp_: even if you do not end up using it; the swap partition is a nice backup and disk space is cheap these days [10:37] dp_: depends on use, "unused" ram will get used as disk cache. If you have 2Gb RAM or less, swap is advised as 2xRAM, if you have more tan 2Gb RAM then swap should be 1xRAM [10:37] dp_: also if you are going to suspend to disk you need swap >= RAM [10:38] shift-windows " e works differently in 9.10, why? [10:38] Vinceman: what should it do? is it a compiz enabler? [10:38] dp_: I read that same article, I think, Swap on drive is great for Intense workloads, but is oft times seen as overkill and can be reduced, but I agree with the Default Install. [10:38] eL_pSycHo: Hard reset ? [10:38] . [10:39] it should make an ë [10:39] ActionParsnip [10:39] seb2: uuh.... i had to restart the computer pressing the power button [10:39] Muhammad: yes, works fine, however it's only a workarround [10:39] Vinceman: in gedit etc or terminal? [10:39] ok. thanks for all the advice. [10:39] eL_pSycHo: why ? You had the control of the console ? [10:40] I only hadn't tried it in a browser [10:40] ActionParsnip [10:40] how do i see the version and package information of an installed package - say libfuse2 ? [10:40] MaT-dg, yea , but you could use adobe's lab version , but as i said it crash your ff alot with gmail [10:40] coz_: flash works just fine. Like Muhammad says, it has something to do with compiz [10:40] dp_: I saw little use of swap when having more thant 2go of ram. Mostly used as file cache and buffers. [10:40] Vinceman: not heard of that one, just makes a '?' character? [10:40] Am I the only one who faces problem in suspending my Ubuntu 9.04 while compiz is On [10:41] same think here 0 swap usage [10:41] dp_: if you set swappiness to a lower value, the system will try and keep the system running in the ram more rather than swapping [10:41] MaT-dg, no it doesnt I have run flash with and without compiz with the same results and has been the same...at least on thnis system..since release [10:41] I have alot of problem with compiz. [10:41] ActionParsnip no it gives you multiple desktops on your screen [10:41] MaT-dg, http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html just remove your current version and copy this one to ~/.mozilla/plugins [10:41] I hardly see it worth running. [10:41] ActionParsnip: alt-137 doesn't work either [10:41] QUESTION: Are there any tools (commercial or otherwise) that let me ocr within a pdf [10:41] Vinceman: hmm [10:42] Tried alt 0137, the number you supply with alt usually has to be a 4 digit number. [10:42] dp_: Used to apply the 2x ram rule but I don't anymore. Then I had this ruel ram = swap. But nowadays, no more than 4go of swap. [10:42] hey guys.. some help - how do i see the version and package information of an installed package - through apt-get [10:42] courpse doesn't work either :( [10:42] it's an important character in my language [10:42] SandGorgon: why not use synaptic [10:42] pigphish, oops sorry - i'm running server version on another machine [10:42] courpse: It is actually hex [10:43] seb2: well.. after i restart dbus my computer restarts the session.. im back at the login window but my mouse doesnt work and neither does my keyboard [10:43] SandGorgon, apt-cache policy package [10:43] SandGorgon: you can try package --version which most of the time works. you can usea apt-cache show packagename to see description and latest version available [10:43] thanks guys! [10:43] I have a touch screen attached to my computer that sends information through /dev/hidraw0. is there any way to find out what driver I can use with it? [10:43] Question: any programs that can OCR a pdf within it? [10:43] h4f, there is no such thing as package --version, you mean --version with a binary, which is not the package version :) [10:44] joaopinto: yeap.. I meant packagename --version === Avash is now known as BillWindows [10:44] macfuddy: GUI? [10:44] My laptop's headphone jack stopped working in Ubuntu 9.10 ... how to fix? [10:44] h4f, no, that will never report the package version, it may in some cases reveal the application version, which is not the same as package version [10:44] rapha make sure its selected in switches [10:44] vigo: GUI? [10:45] macfuddy: Gnome or something, Windowed... [10:45] vigo: I got it in china. no documentation or drivers whatsoever [10:45] Is there any lse having problem using user cron job in Ubuntu 9.10? [10:45] joaopinto: what's the diff between package and application ? [10:45] vigo: ubuntu NBR [10:46] Hi! I have enabled root login in 9.10. As soon as I login as root user, session crashes (desktop comes only for a moment) and I am back to login window [10:46] pigphish: that seems to be the problem - the new volume settings GUI doesn't have a switch for it anymore :-( [10:46] I run a bash script through a cron job and the script doesn't write to a log file neither removes some files as it does running it from Terminal as the same user. Anyone? [10:46] any suggestions to track issue ? [10:46] h4f: an entire app may come packged in more than one package [10:46] macfuddy: There is a Hardware listing in the GUI version. It shows what Drivers are used where and stuff. [10:46] hi, after running all the updates on 9.10 today, my browser does not react to anything anymore - any ideas why? [10:46] erUSUL: thanks [10:46] eL_pSycHo: I had this problem too. === BillWindows is now known as ubuntuHero [10:47] vigo: ok, thanks [10:47] ppl still dancing from the release? [10:47] S_A: you never need to log on as root, just log in as yourself and use sudo if you need admin power [10:47] eL_pSycHo: It's related to dbus and hal again. Mind to paste the /var/log/Xorg.0.log somewhere ? [10:47] khaije|amalt: dancing? [10:47] ActionParsnip: I understand but why it is crashing ? [10:47] i was assured there would be dancing [10:47] eL_pSycHo: normaly, a dbus restart and hal restart did the trick for me. [10:48] S_A: no idea, ive not logged on as root, neiter should you [10:48] Anyone else having problems writing and deleting files using a bash script from a user cron job in Ubuntu 9.10? [10:48] vigo: "hardware drivers" lists only my wifi driver. the touchscreen does not work yet, but is sending data through /dev/hidraw0 [10:48] My script worked just fine in Ubuntu 9.04 but now it have been starting to behave strange. [10:48] since I moved to Ubuntu 9.10. [10:49] S_A: could try moving the contents of /root to a subfolder so new profile files are made [10:49] ActionParsnip: Can you tell me what process gives desktop (I mean various desktop icons etc.) ? [10:49] hey all, when i did the system update to 9.10 everything broke, couldnt even use my keyboard, so i dloaded a live cd on another machine and made the disk [10:49] installed and now cant log in [10:49] S_A: gdm [10:49] the login and Pword that I have always ised does not allow authentication [10:49] S_A: why are you logging on as root? [10:49] gimp fails at animation, :/ [10:50] penis doesnt save gifs, blender looks farrrrr to complicated, :/ [10:50] they named a program 'penis'?? [10:50] ActionParsnip: I am just trying to find the cause of error [10:50] courps it is complicated, not more so than 3dsmax or xsi though [10:50] macfuddy: Have you tried the lspci? [10:50] hello guys and girls, i want to see if i can reach a UDP port through my wireless router, how can I do this? [10:50] 0.o [10:50] one wonders if 'penis blender' is on the way [10:51] like telnet or something? [10:51] Anyone got an idea for my problem (karmic fails with oops and oom when booting with USB2 cdrom plugged in) ? [10:51] S_A: if you dont log on as root, you wont get an error [10:51] Vinceman: they did? [10:51] ActionParsnip: Normal user login is working fine [10:51] Why the hell did i say penis... [10:51] seb2: here is the Xorg.0.log ----- http://paste.ubuntu.com/308366/ [10:51] I meant pencil. [10:51] hi all. can i upgrade ubuntu remix using disk-on-key ? [10:51] login authentication failure, what is it matching my login against? [10:51] S_A: then just use that, logging on as root is not advised. I strongly suggest you redisable the account too [10:51] headphones worked for me [10:51] by switching drop down box [10:51] will downloading the 64bit version of 9.10 provide any noticeable increases in performance? or possibly just headaches? [10:51] impi_: telnet to the port [10:51] vigo: no, but lsusb gives something useful, thanks!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:56] rapha: though headphones worked for me with either selected [10:56] pigphish: doesnt show headphones anywhere :( ... these new sound property settings seem to be incomplete ... the ones from 9.04 were complete [10:56] rapha or input somewhere as devicde [10:56] eL_pSycHo: and input device "Logitech USB Receiver" (type: MOUSE) [10:56] rapha: selecting headphones turned off speakers [10:56] eL_pSycHo: is that right ?

[11:08] seb2: so i guess all i can do is wait for an update that fixes these problems? [11:08] ActionParsnip: thanks [11:08] has anyone had problems connecting to public wifi with karmic? it won't connect to unsecured wireless network for me. [11:08] i need to know the folder that i need to install jre on in order to make the intel compiler installation detect it [11:08] you will get your current path [11:08] noona: then set the path [11:08] eL_pSycHo and thrope have a read of the release notes [11:08] thomic: good for you... but other ppl use the system in other devices as well. [11:08] you mean pwd?

[11:10] Hi! I have a problem with printing swedish letters (eg. å ä ö) in some fonts (Microsoft Calibri for a sample). In previous versions I worked around it by making a PDF and print it thru Evince. But it won't work anymore since i moved to Koala. It's just a empty space where the letter is supposed to be. any clue? [11:10] seb2: hmm? [11:10] pigPhish, ok what do i do after i see the path? though there are many [11:10] what am i supposed to look for?

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [11:11] phix: grub2 is quite complex and can offer extra power, i agree though it is very weird [11:11] I installed Ubuntu 9.10 and now after a reboot it doesn't boot up, the only way I can get in there is to edit the recovery mode and take out the single option [11:11] nine_: There's something about PDF's in the release notes, maybe not relivant for you though [11:11] !notes | nine_ [11:11] nine_: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [11:11] phix: especially for single booters like myself [11:11] ciao a tutti [11:12] how can i check i have the right video driver installed on karmic? [11:12] eL_pSycHo: All of their advices are to be followed. Your devices are properly identified. I don't know why nothing happens with the X session. [11:12] phix: you can edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg but it will be overwritten next time update-grub is ran [11:12] does anyone know how to get a sn9c102 webcam working. looked all over the net with no joy! [11:12] hi people, trying to update / upgrade on karmik, i have problems with rsyslog (invoke-rc.d action "restart" failed) [11:12] can any one help ? [11:12] so why doesn't my Ubuntu boot up properly any more? :) I installed from Ubuntu Alternate CD with encryption and LVM [11:12] phix: you will need to run: sudo chmod +w /boot/grub/grub.cfg too as its not marked as writable [11:13] OK, could someone suggest a decent linux distribution where I can install the stuff without paths headaches? [11:13] K3rl0u4rn: Right uhmm many people have had issues upgrading from 9.04 to Karmic [11:13] K3rl0u4rn: you upgraded it, did you ? [11:13] no [11:13] K3rl0u4rn: apt-get install rsyslog is that so ? [11:13] installed from xubuntu-alternate on a fresh virtual machine [11:13] K3rl0u4rn: 9.10 is a release that should really be clean installed, because of people getting issues after upgrade, but also, because of default Ext4 for clean and Grub 2 [11:13] noona: you will get paths headaches if you start needing to add stuff, regardless of distro [11:13] then apt-get updated / apt-get upgraded [11:13] sebsebseb, thnx. I look into it. But I don't think it's relevant because of it's not only bound to pdfs or Evince. Same thing in OpenOffice. But before it was possible to get around it by printing it as a PDF... [11:13] This is a fresh install, sda1 is WIndows, sda2 is /boot (100MB), sda3 is encrypted, within that is LVM that has my root, var and swap FSs on it [11:13] where did Compiz's burn effect go on window animations? [11:14] huwenfeng: when i install from live cd. will the flash drive be boodable directly at startup with bios set to boot from ub [11:14] K3rl0u4rn: fix is simple, start rsyslog (service rsyslog start).

[11:14] :( where can i find decent help? [11:14] thanks [11:14] ActionParsnip: I'm in animations and theres no fire or burn effect [11:14] nine_: You have a Swedish keyboard? [11:14] notdeadyet: you may need to install extra plugins from the repos. I suggest you ask in #compiz [11:14] okay [11:14] notdeadyet: it may not be where you expect, the search takes the gueswork out [11:14] sebsebseb, yeah...

[11:17] #gaffateip [11:17] sebsebseb: When i print with my laserprinter with some fonts (others work) the special swedish letters only leave a blank space. In previous versions of Ubuntu I could get around it and convert the document to PDF and print it thru evince... [11:17] garymaurizi: You can get free accounts for up to 2Gb of data stroage - Have a look at www.getdropbox.com [11:17] Balsaq: you mean from the panel? [11:17] !panels| Balsaq [11:17] Balsaq: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [11:17] was on the top of my screen to the right [11:18] Does "sudo apt-get autoremove --purge" auto purge rather than just auto remove? [11:18] Balsaq: right click panel -> add item then try a few things [11:18] do you know what i mean? [11:18] Termana: maybe, but probably not [11:18] where is panel?

If not, is there a command to do an auto purge? [11:19] and now that i have installed it i cant log in [11:19] I have a problem with my ubuntu machine it randomly goes to initial login screen [11:19] any ideas? [11:19] dooglus: sure, my hard drive isnt infinite? your statement adds no help [11:19] it does this whilst I'm using it [11:19] was that part of the update process? [11:19] garymaurizi: I don't know about that, I only ever needed the capabilities of dropbox, nothing over that [11:19] Termana: no, you must specify purge each time unless you create an alias in ~/.bashrc [11:19] garymaurizi: it corrects a misunderstand I think? [11:19] meowpup: what? no . you can boot from the Live CD and the install you system to the flashdrive [11:19] dooglus: i think you can run irfanview in wine and view them [11:19] garymaurizi: I like to use rsync , and svn for different types of files... [11:19] ActionParsnip: thanks [11:20] hi again anyone able to help me with a usb hdd install question [11:20] its easy to boot from the Live CD , ISO or real CD rom [11:20] garymaurizi: I'm sure you can mount a folder on a remote machine via the internet, but I can't remember where I saw the method for doing it [11:20] ActionParsnip, i cant log in, i cant preview and if i try to just log in normally, i cant the screen goes white text and then flashes and then stops responding [11:20] anybody had the error before? [11:20] DJones, i want too have a folder on my linux machine, and one on his, and have him be able too sync the files in the folder on his side with the files i provide him on mine, like an svn checkout or mercurial === Blizzerand is now known as wikiDude [11:20] and vice versa [11:20] ActionParsnip, also hey, hows it goin [11:21] Just upgraded to Karmic on an imac. all I am getting is a flashing text login with a British Pound sign. What to do next? [11:21] is it just me or is firefox using more cpu in Karmic? [11:21] modumass: not bad, not sure on the issue though dude, have you tried booting to root recvery mode and running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [11:21] alassiry im gonna check out those methods [11:21] garymaurizi: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntuone-servers/+question/88109 [11:21] cemc: its a CPU hog generally [11:21] i am wanting to install ubuntu onto a usb hdd as a full install and directly boot from it at bootup [11:21] cemc: me wid u [11:22] ActionParsnip, its as if ubuntu doesnt believe i have priveledges to do anything [11:22] ActionParsnip, can i do that from a old old install [11:22] meowpup: boot to the CD there is an option to install to USB there [11:22] dpkg-reconfigure gdm [11:22] cool [11:22] thanks [11:22] I mean the scroll is a lot slower, I click on links it takes like 2-3 seconds to 'click', I move over links it takes literally a second to change the mouse pointer and stuff like that [11:23] dooglus: if i had the knowledge too work on the ubuntu ONE protocol, i wouldent be in here asking such a simple question!!! ;op [11:23] cemc: You've got no suspicious plugins like Flash running in other tabs? [11:23] I run top, I do nothing in firefox and for some reason every 3-5 seconds there is a 'spike' for like 2 secs [11:23] I have some bash scipts that work just fine running them from Terminal by ./script BUT when I run them from a cron job then the scripts can't write to a file (echo "bla bla" > /home/username/logfile.txt) and not remove some files either. Why? [11:23] cemc: I share exactly the same problem but I thought that maybe my system is too old that's why! [11:23] seb2: i see he just had to restart at the end.. but i dont have that same problem.. my mouse and keyboard work fine.. they dont work if i restart dbus... so i just wont do that.... on another topic... my mouse pointer themes are not leading... not even the already installed ones like redglass... just the default one works.. [11:23] garymaurizi: that was intended to make you feel less alone [11:24] garymaurizi: I've found this on how to mount a remote folder, I'm not sure whether it will help though https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Advanced#Mounting a remote directory It doesn't look like what you're looking for, but maybe it'll give some idea's on what to look for [11:24] It seems like the user cron job doesnät work as it should. Is this a known problem in Ubuntu 9.10? It was working just fine using Ubuntu 9.04. [11:25] the problem with mounting remote folders using sshfs or whatever is that the sync happens in real time [11:25] Since upgrading to Karmic from Jaunty, resolving domain names is extremely slow (up to half a minute). If I comment out the search and domain lines from resolv.conf (as suggested in the last few comments on bug 417757), things start working correctly. Is there anything I can do to make this change permanent? [11:25] (It complicates things that I have to connect to a VPN to access the internet.) [11:25] and so writing to them takes a long time [11:25] with dropbox (and presumably ubuntu one, though I can't get that to work) the sync happens slowly over time [11:25] hello, can anyone tell me when redirecting output to a file, when is that file created... only after the command is finished? [11:25] but the write is quite === thomic is now known as thomic_idle [11:25] hi [11:25] wk_bouter: before the command is started [11:25] wk_bouter: the file is creatted as the command processes [11:26] wgrant: when I don't have any tabs with flash, it moves better, that's true. but it still hogs the cpu sometimes, it just goes up to 10-20-100% at times (looking at it in top) [11:26] wk_bouter: you can use redirection using > to output the stdio text to a file [11:26] wk_bouter: the file is created and opened before the command starts, since the command is passed a handle to the open file [11:26] QUESTION: OCR in PDF is it possible in linux? [11:26] shankhs: mine is some core 2 duo stuff, it's not THAT old :) [11:26] Since upgrading to Karmic from Jaunty, resolving domain names is extremely slow (up to half a minute). If I comment out the search and domain lines from resolv.conf (as suggested in the last few comments on bug 417757), things start working correctly. Is there anything I can do to make this change permanent? (It complicates things that I have to connect to a VPN to access the internet.) [11:26] KARMIC has greatly improved my ui interface :-d [11:27] i'm using xbuntu i'm having problems with interface [11:27] QUESTION: OCR in PDF is it possible in linux? [11:27] pigphish1: you could convert the pdf to text, or use pdfedit to edit the file [11:27] dooglus, so if I run a very long (in time) command with lots of output, during the run I should be able to check inspect file for the output right? [11:27] i've used both [11:27] subspider: use this ultrasuperfix www.google.com! [11:27] wk_bouter: indeed, you can [11:27] pigphish: ocropus [11:27] or tell us what the trouble is! :D [11:27] ActionParsnip: used both but none allows me to embed ocr === jan is now known as Guest8494 [11:27] thnks [11:28] wk_bouter: in a separate window, you can "tail -f thefile.txt" to watch the output as it arrives in the file [11:28] eL_pSycHo: So, does your dvd/cd appears on the desktop now ? [11:28] barf: ocropus? embeds [11:28] ocropus is and OCR library [11:28] ahhh [11:28] Is it possible to set up an "apt" repository for Ubuntu using a webserver and only static files/directories? All the HOWTOs that I have encountered are talking about reconfiguring Apache and installing CGI stuff, which I could do on my home system but not on my hosting provider. [11:28] ocropus is an OCR library [11:28] i restart the pc and no i don't have a menu bar and no sound [11:28] pigphish1: can you expand on embed ocr? do yu mean add some scanned text to an existing pdf? [11:28] seb2: nah..... i think it must be a bug and not a config error.... i mean i did a fresh install and the first thing i did was test it and no joy. [11:28] cemc: then its a real prob [11:28] wk_bouter: it does depend on the command you're running - perhaps the command outputs all its output in pne lump at the end, or outputs it line by line, but doesn't flush it [11:29] cemc: does your firefox also behaves like this? [11:29] how has the reception of the UNR release been? im considering installing that instead of 'desktop' [11:29] ActionParsnip: with adobe acrobat i can embed the ocr into the pdf image instead of having it as a seperate file [11:29] dooglus, ok if we can see in top that a process is running, but we dont see any file being created then the first one would be the case? [11:29] eL_pSycHo: In this case, maybe the cdrom is not identified as it should be ? [11:29] ActionParsnip: tesseract and the like ccreate a seperate text file [11:29] how can I disable the splashscreen during boot? [11:29] wk_bouter: if it's showing up in 'top' as usinga lot of CPU then it's possible the process is doing a bunch of calculations before doing its output [11:30] pigphish1: so you scan some text using OCR then add it to an existing PDF text to make it bigger, "embed ocr" doesnt make sense [11:30] eL_pSycHo: see the output of : sudo hal-devices|less [11:30] Why do I get to maintainence shell when I boot into karmic and it asks me to run fsck , which is very annoying [11:30] I'm still using Karmic's Beta... what should I do to upgrade to the final release? [11:30] seb2: it mounts if i do it from the console. and also if i put the CD inside it wont mount right... but if i run gksu nautilus then it mounts immediately [11:30] what command would you type in terminal to identify the version number of ubuntu server? [11:30] just a pointer will do [11:30] pigphish1: you can embed the text which is the result of a scan using ocr [11:30] atanok: sudo apt-get update [11:30] atanok, keep updating [11:30] greenfuji: lsb_release -a [11:30] greenfuji: lsb_release -a [11:30] just thtat? [11:30] atanok: why havent you updated ? [11:30] :/ [11:30] well no, there is a lot of intermediate output being printed line by line...if we dont redirect the output we can see that. [11:30] atanok: ja [11:30] ActionParsnip: adobe acrobat has a built in ocr feature which will ocr an image and embed the ocr in the document and keep it alighned with the image [11:31] will do [11:31] thanks [11:31] eL_pSycHo: you should have something like this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/308408/ [11:31] thanks guys [11:31] thanks DJones, though late, im reading it :) [11:31] barf: is ocropus better than tesseract [11:31] wk_bouter: that'll be a case of the program not flushing its output buffers then [11:31] atanok, after that sudo apt-get upgrade [11:31] pigphish1: i'd have thought pdfedit would have been great here [11:31] ActionParsnip: meaning, if i find text that i ocred it will tell me where exactly in the image it is [11:31] pigphish1: scan the new image / text then add it in [11:31] updating [11:31] ActionParsnip: pdfedit has no ocr , or does it? [11:32] will upgrade as soon as it finishes [11:32] how can i tunnel x over ssh from windows ? [11:32] ActionParsnip: very manual process [11:32] How do I solve my prob . Any ideas [11:32] ActionParsnip: unless im missing something [11:32] pigphish1: you can scan from something like gimp and then use the result to add to pdfedit [11:32] I am running ubuntu server 8.10. When I do a sudo do-release-upgrade, it says no new release found. shouldnt it find 9.10 and upgrade? [11:32] ocropus is probably the most open and programmer friendly OCR [11:32] seb2: the command doesnt do anything.... [11:32] upgrading [11:32] greenfuji: dist-upgrade? [11:32] ActionParsnip: but the problem is I would like to ocr a document and have the result embedded into the document [11:33] eL_pSycHo: hal-devices show nothing ? [11:33] "sudo apt-get upgrade"... nothing happened [11:33] pigphish1: I do not know tesseract [11:33] But it sounds propriteray [11:33] pigphish1: you can you just need to use more than one application [11:33] ActionParsnip: perhaps not as nicely as adobe but at least within the same page [11:33] guys why my ubuntu has openjdk java as default? [11:33] RhysM: is that a command? [11:33] atanok, then you are running final [11:33] sebsebseb: still, rsyslog update keeps failing [11:33] O__o: licensing probably [11:33] dooglus thanks for your help, I'll work on it... [11:33] seb2: it says... sudo: hal-devices: command not found [11:33] does ubuntu come with openjdk java or sun java? [11:33] K3rl0u4rn: paste the output of the session. [11:34] O__o: yu can install either [11:34] ActionParsnip: will pdfedit automatically allow me to embed text... incidently the text would not be visible over the image that is why adobe embeds it [11:34] !java | O__o [11:34] O__o: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [11:34] ActionParsnip, about last night the facebook thing. i switch it to sun java now i have no problem now [11:34] bazhang, I take it there should be no differences between this and a final CD install, then? === wikiDude_ is now known as wikiDude [11:34] pigphish1: Which scripting language are you using for you task? [11:34] ActionParsnip, and website run a lot smoother with sun java [11:34] eL_pSycHo: sorry, its hal-device (without the s) [11:34] pigphish1: all i can recommend is scan with an app then past the stuff into pdfedit [11:34] barf: i'm using bash more than anyting else === lance is now known as Guest10143 [11:34] ActionParsnip, you know the way normally your screen during boot only shows test until you select which OS you want to boot with, then it switches to a splashscreen, now it just flashes white text on the screen [11:35] it's just that I'm having an annoying problem with a printer, that doesn't exist in 8.10 [11:35] ActionParsnip, i am wondering why ubuntu come with openjdk java as default?? sun java is 10000000 times better [11:35] barf: what do you use, do you use ocropus [11:35] hi, I have a ipevo pov webcam. Where can I get resources on using this on ubuntu? [11:35] modumass: i uninstall silly splash screens so mine is always all text [11:35] probably due to ghostscript [11:35] ActionParsnip: thanks [11:35] greenfuji: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [11:35] O__o: some people prefer the open version [11:35] x.flux just woke up my screen LOL [11:35] ActionParsnip, but the open version just sucks [11:35] <==== blinded by x.flux [11:35] This is the first time I have had a problem upgrading since Warty. [11:35] ActionParsnip, yeh that is cool, but usually its a way to tell if stuff is broken [11:36] barf: what script dev environment do you use? [11:36] Anyone know how to permanently enable sudo dhclient eth0? [11:36] RhysM: thanks, doing something now [11:36] ActionParsnip, mine is just flashing and gets to the bit where it says batter ok..... and thats as far as it gets [11:36] modumass: i just think they are redundant [11:36] python [11:36] I disable the splash and what happens is I get a wierd flickering on and off when it tries to start X. === Guest39832 is now known as UdontKnow [11:36] yes, I use ocropus [11:36] ActionParsnip, i cant get to a prompt to type anything [11:37] It has to be tweaked for every purpose [11:37] I can get into X using old kernel but not the new Karmic one [11:37] Any recommended EXT drivers for Windows? [11:37] But can get really high successrates [11:37] barf: i just checked ocropus used to be a wrapper for tesseract [11:37] BIG mistake I did! I accidentally deleted /boot (GRUB and kernels) from my 9.10. I tried reinstalling it but no succcess. I have a 9.04 live cd. Any idea hoe coul I restore my grub and kernel back? [11:37] modumass: you could edit the boot options using E in grub to remove the splash stuff so you can see whats going on [11:37] ActionParsnip, so i thought id livecd in and look around, see if there is a way to look around, but i cant even get past the login screen there [11:37] barf: capable of layout control which is what i needed as well [11:37] Anyone know how to permanently enable sudo dhclient eth0?

[11:38] barf: any sample python scripts you can share? [11:38] Still lingo scripting for the customization? === wikiDude is now known as Blizzerand [11:38] Hi! Is there any way in Linux to strip all pictures from a PDF document, leaving only the text? [11:38] Well the python scripts does not do any good for you it just executes ocropus [11:38] to me it asks for autorization required [11:38] Deolog: Yes, is gonna take a bit of work, but that is what and why Backups are my suggestion to almost anything. [11:38] i cant mount my ntfs partition [11:38] What you would probably like is the tweaking scripts? Those are made in a different scripting language [11:39] adi1: users cannot mount partitions [11:39] barf: how do you mean? it just is used to run the program and do nothing? [11:39] xaryh, you can select and copy all the txt out and then export a doc to pdf [11:39] adi1: Mount via "ntfs-3g" not via "mount" [11:39] Lua, not lingo [11:39] vigo, yes sir! I do have weekly backups but i excluded /boot. LOL [11:39] im the only one and im the root| ACTION [11:39] Deolog: Sweet. [11:39] xarvh : Export it to a open office file [11:39] vigo, could you please guide me? [11:39] adi1, if that fails, it might be flagged as "in use" due to an unclean mount, or hibernation [11:39] barf: i would be interesting in anything that could generate ocred text [11:39] pigphish1: The optimization of ocropus is written in Lua [11:40] atanok | so how do i mount now? [11:40] barf: i would be intererested in just getting it to ocr images [11:40] anybody having troubles getting their multimonitor setup working with nvidia twinview after the upgrade to 9.10?

[11:40] ActionParsnip: Is there ANYTHING ubottu doesn't know? [11:40] if that is the case, you should only mount as read-only, and make Windows clean it when you can [11:41] theadmin: quite a lot [11:41] 4cm in from the left 2 cm down, 20cm wide and 5 cm down from the before mentioned starting point. [11:41] actionparsnip: did that removed the old ones and installed the new one (190.42) manually [11:41] mesdag: ok thats a good step to take [11:41] vigo. Ok. I am in the 9.04 livecd now. [11:41] by cleaning, I mean just starting Windows and then rebooting again [11:42] mesdag: i dont use dualhead, but driver reinstalls can fix stuff nice [11:42] barf: could you point me to a good reference with python [11:42] ran nvidia-xconfig and adjusted that with nvidia-settings [11:42] or mounting it on a running Windows and then unmounting [11:42] barf: how have you found the accuracy? [11:42] in case it's an external drive [11:42] 100% from one scanner [11:42] Is there a collected searchable list of all the stuff that is going wrong in Karmic? [11:42] really [11:42] or from three scanners [11:42] actually [11:42] type written i assume [11:42] Can anyone tell me what is this new "iBus" thing? Sounds like something made by apple [11:42] lol [11:42] ActionParsnip, usually they do but the upgrade from 9.04 was far from smooth :] [11:42] Anyone know how to permanently enable sudo dhclient eth0? [11:43] digifor: head to http://www.launchpad.net and read the ubuntu bugs [11:43] and 1 of the scanners only has 80% successrate [11:43] All scanning the same template documents [11:43] apple is for the dogs an people who like to spend too much money for the same shit as eeverryone else [11:43] seb2: it looks fine. [11:43] vigo, I also have a small partition I would like to use as /boot. what do I do next? [11:43] mesdag: tried the 185 driver instead?

[11:45] xarvh : I think there are somw tools that can help you [11:45] adi1: create a folder like /mnt/ntfs and use this [11:45] I think through gs it supports anything [11:45] normally its mounted on /media [11:45] Deolog: From the Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708 [11:45] Blizzerand: could you suggest me some?

[11:46] gs = ghostscript [11:46] mesdag: --purge gets rid of all the latent configs too [11:46] barf: meaning a coworkeer?

[12:17] I am about to install real player and its asking me where I want to install it [12:17] so where shold I put apps when installing them [12:17] i normally put them somewhere under /home [12:18] is DRI2 implemented? [12:18] in karmic [12:18] yan: Ok, uhm, looks like a device is locked by the Encryption, when I installed and played with that I got a prompt that gave me the passkey to enter it , in case something failed. [12:19] Helo I cant seem to partiton my ubuntu with windows side-by-side for some reason. [12:19] Hi. I just upgraded to 9.10, and process "dd" is using all CPU. What it is, can I kill it, and how do I kill it? [12:19] ПРивет! новичков принимаете??? [12:19] Delago: Oh ratso, I thought you had stated that the boot issue was solved.. [12:19] So, I downloaded opera's deb file and installed it but I don't seem to find opera anywhere on my system :( [12:19] !ru | danila_master [12:19] danila_master: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [12:19] danila_master, #ubuntu-ru [12:19] aaron11, do you already have a free partition or are you trying to shrink your windows partition? [12:19] ok, sorry )) [12:20] vigo: i deleted everything in /boot. now, with your help i restored grub [12:20] vigo: ? it gave you the password? that doesn't sound very safe ;) [12:20] but still i am missing kernel files [12:20] Cantcme: Im trying to make my windows partiton bigger than Ubuntu's [12:20] lizzzy: will it run from terminal? [12:21] ActionParsnip: $opera --> opera: command not found [12:21] lizzzy: did you run: sudo apt-get -i opera_deb_file_name.deb; sudo apt-get -f install [12:21] Cantcme: I cant see the slidder that I saw in a tutorial [12:21] Delago: Ok, Install or boot to it, then run update/upgrade to fetch the latest kernels, as needed. [12:21] aaron11: are you using gparted? [12:21] ActionParsnip: I just downloaded and double clicked the .deb package. [12:21] lizzzy: you need to use that command to install the deb, the -f install will satisfy the deps it has [12:21] ActionParsnip: Oh ok [12:21] Cantcme: No just the installer [12:21] lizzzy: i'd use the command line, you can see whats going on then [12:21] lizzzy, sometimes killall gnome-panel will make it appear [12:21] Cantcme: Im at the partitoning stage [12:22] vigo.please pass me that ubuntu forum page again [12:22] aaron11: boot into the live cd and run gparted [12:22] I'm about to install ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop with a live-usb... is there anything in perticuilar that I should know? [12:22] ok [12:22] I'd second ActionParsnip on using command line for dpkg individual packages. [12:22] Cantcme: Yes after that [12:22] K.. Thanks :) [12:23] aaron11: if you still cant resize your partitions you could have some files near the end of one of your partitions, so it wont let you [12:23] yan: It generated a passkey, then I was told to write it down and re start the machine, everything was then dumped, pretty darn safe. [12:23] nayfe: dd is a data copying tool that copys bit by bit from source to destination, you can kill it using killall dd or checking its pid in ps -ef | grep dd and killing it that way [12:23] Delago: here ya go: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708 [12:23] lizzzy: gui methods are nice but when stuff doesnt work you dont gte nice outputs like cli does [12:24] Hi, I've got a problem with my gnome desktop. I left my worksation for break (screen locked), returned and wasnt able to login. [12:24] hmm.. [12:24] how can i go in my ubuntu 9.10 from a live cd 9.04? to install things on 9.10 from 9.04 [12:24] i then rebootet from the first tty , cleanly [12:24] Cantcme: It looks like i have a lot of partitons [12:24] Delago: you could download the debs in the 9.04 live cd and chroot to the installed system to then install them [12:24] however, now the panel for example doenst starts. it complains about gtk+ version too old [12:25] I installed grub2 . after restart I get Error 15. [12:25] I found few guides how to fix that but can't follow them cause [12:25] grub /bin/sh not found.

[12:25] vigo: ok [12:25] aaron11: yeh, you can resize which ever ones you want now [12:25] aaron11: just be careful :) [12:25] Dang, good call ActionParsnip. read what AP said Delago. [12:25] actionparsnip thanks. Is it sth that runs only once, after installation, and I should better leave it to do its job? [12:25] Cantcme: How do I resize again? [12:25] any hint or pointer into the right direction would be more than welcome. this is my production machine in the office (desktop) [12:25] K3rl0u4rn: I stand corrected. Do a service rsyslog start then dpkg --configure -a should do the trick [12:26] good morningall [12:26] aaron11: right click on the partition you want to resize, then select the resize/move option [12:26] ok [12:26] nayfe: i'm not sure, i dont know why dd would be running, if you use ps -ef you should be able to see its options too and work out whats going on [12:26] Cantcme: Thanks [12:26] np [12:27] FUCK FREENODE [12:27] yoshi765: no escribas todo en mayusculas, va contra las normas.

[12:42] san123: do you have it built in into a laptop?

[12:43] guys, one question. what happen if i install karmic (desktop 32 version) to netbook? [12:43] Pastoolio: short answer.. You dont. Its not that customizeable at this time.

Or there may be some UT specific docs/wiki pages for ubuntu also [12:51] you should copy and paste that to paste.ubuntu.com (or a similar site) and post a link to there in this channel. [12:51] thanks [12:51] ill do tht now [12:51] damo, good luck [12:51] blip-: Urban Terror - has a natuve linux client. :) [12:51] Then i'll look at your usb-devices-info and hopefully say something useful :D [12:51] thanks [12:51] Does Karmic have an indexing thing for search?

Are you using ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10? [12:58] Markus-vn: which codec pack? ubuntu-restricted-extras? [12:58] Orbixx: does karmic actually have a -xen kernel? [12:58] I m using Ubuntu 9.10 [12:58] om26er: yes [12:58] :D [12:58] great [12:58] Docteh: That's what I'm trying to find out. [12:59] Markus-vn: 32bit ? [12:59] Delago, lol is all I have to say :D [12:59] om26er: yes [12:59] wow! its good that we both have same thing now i can tell you my doubts [12:59] Markus-vn: i recall some extra kde packs to get mp3 playback going in many apps. [12:59] san123: have you ever used the bluetooth dongle on a older version of ubuntu? [12:59] Markus-vn: mp3 files work? [12:59] om26er: no [12:59] blip-: you don't have any idea on how I could repair? :( [12:59] Orbixx: fire up firefox and take a tickyboo at packages.ubuntu.com [12:59] om26er: mp3 files not working at all [12:59] no i have xp installed in my pc i used this dongle in xp but not in ubuntu i m new in ubuntu [12:59] Markus-vn: so ONLY mp3's dont work? [13:00] Markus-vn: can you do something. place your cursor over an mp3 file for few seconds and see if the song plays [13:00] Dr_Willis: i haven't try others yet [13:00] ok, it seems my mouse pointer appears as soon as I *close* a window [13:00] Delago, I would ask in ##linux. There should be a way to recreate the boot partition without reinstalling everything. [13:00] Threetimes, Can you help me? [13:00] Markus-vn: try: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly [13:00] hi everyone :) May i ask for the correct channel to ask "ubuntu one" related questions? [13:00] it works in xp, so it's not a hardware fault. I guess it's a bug in 9.10, since it works in 9.04 (and some oder versions...). I don't know what changed... [13:01] ok [13:01] brot: i think theres a #ubuntuone channel [13:01] right :) [13:01] thanks and bye :) [13:02] I have no idea why we need a #ubuntuone ... but we got one. :) [13:02] hahah [13:02] hey! are you there? can you help me? can anyone help me my bluetoth is attached but it is disabled in ubuntu how do i enable it? [13:02] How can i just rename a folder? [13:02] hey guys, is there any regext translator? [13:02] 3G connections using network-manager is said to be added in 0.8.1. Does anyone know if it'll be available as an update to karmic when it's available? [13:02] AmokPaule: select it, f2 - rename. is one way... [13:02] that is, using bluetooth! [13:02] san123: i'm here and i'm trying to find out what happened [13:02] if not that then can you tell me how to install Sharing Service in Ubuntu 9.10 [13:03] i mean, i mean mkdir [1-5] and it makes mkdir 1 mkdir 2... ? i need a regext to normal translator for bash/terminal [13:03] san123: if youmean 'samba shareing' install the samba package and support packages. [13:03] Threetimes, I have very less time left i have to go in few minutes what do i do? [13:03] kojm [13:03] i mean over the console [13:03] jo-erlend: ubuntu is only fixing bugs in a version (9.10) not adding new features [13:03] san123: come back later and ask again :D [13:03] AmokPaule: you dident say that. :) use mv, or rename command.. [13:03] Dr_Willis, i dont know whats samba sharing i want to share my files with my frend through LAN [13:04] till how long will you be online 3times? [13:04] Hi, how to view the images(attachement) in the message in Evolution? [13:04] whois san123 [13:04] san123: if hes on a windows machine. use samba, or for some quick file transfers, use ssh on the server and winscp on the windows box [13:04] I m [13:04] san123: samba is same protocol as windows file shares [13:04] how do I make grub 2 automaticly detect all my stuff ? [13:04] san123: i connected my bluetooth and a bluetooth applet was shown in the top panel. do you get it? [13:04] DR_Willis, My friend is in Linux Mandriva [13:04] san123: what timezone are you in? [13:04] ty :) [13:04] san123: i just right click on a directory to share and use the shareing menu item.. it should install the needed samba stuff. [13:05] how do you upgrade a kernel? or install it? [13:05] Delago: why? [13:05] ya bluetotth icon appeared but it shows bluetooth is disabled [13:05] san123: then theres a dozen ways you can share things.. samba, nfs, or just use 'sshfs' thats proberly the fast and easy way. [13:05] Delago: why need a kernel-upgrade? [13:05] GMT 5.30+ [13:05] iceroot: i deleted all my kernels [13:05] ActionParsnip: sorry to bother you again, but this game changes my desktop resolution when i quit it, is there a command that i can add to the script to change my resolution back? [13:05] Hi [13:05] Delago: the aptitude program will let you reinstall packages [13:05] So i cant rename a file that contains data? [13:05] Delago: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [13:05] since updating to 9.10 one of my applications doesn't work. Running in terminal the error is "error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto++.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I enabled pre-released updates and searched in synaptic and found libcrypto++8. Application still wont run. Any ideas? [13:06] and how do i het those sshfs? [13:06] Delago: then you dont have a running system [13:06] AmokPaule: sure you can... why not? [13:06] greenfuji: Which app? [13:06] i download many themes from gnome look .. but most are not installable... how do i install those themmese .. [13:06] iceroot: no. but i could chroot in, no? [13:06] Delago: sorry ignore that link. do this sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic [13:06] sebsebseb:customised version of amule [13:06] Delago: hm [13:07] ohh [13:07] iceroot, except for Stable Release Updates. I don't know enough about network-manager to know if this could qualify. It would certainly be a most welcome feature. [13:07] greenfuji: try and only get stuff from the Ubuntu repos, if you get from else where problems can happen, what you want to download with it by the way? [13:07] Delago: yea chroot in and handle it there, if you were on 9.10 livecd i'd suggest just copying from the livecd [13:07] this was anticipated for intrepid, so I think it should be added as quickly as possible. [13:07] jo-erlend: of course, i am using my umts-stick without any problems (jaunty) [13:07] hi all. How can I use gzip to make image of vista partition in /dev/sda1 so I can restore later with the mbr? [13:08] Docteh: to be even nicer, i only have 9.04 live cd. I also have backups of all my sys. but without /boot [13:08] iceberg, yes, I'm using my n95-2 without any problems when connecting using usb. But being able to connect using bluetooth instead, would be much more elegant. [13:08] sebsebseb:it just links into a private server. Is there anyway to have libcrypto7 back so it works? [13:08] greenfuji: install it, from the repo if it's there? or from source maybe [13:08] om26er, sorry , its irrelevant.. but did this delago lost his vmlinuz because someone gave him a command that he executed ??? :P the same happpened to me.. and other user called are_ee .. the one that spreads malicious commands comes with name "selinux, haud" .. [13:09] Delago: well you can take back the spot where /boot was right? chroot in and mount it, then try like grub-install [13:09] anybody please [13:09] sebsebseb:reinstall from source. I'll try that. Cheers [13:09] sorry [13:09] marcus@marcus-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly [13:09] [sudo] password for marcus: [13:09] Reading package lists...

Where can I find it (or can I have any recommendations for a usb install howto)?

I dont see it either in ccsm, I think film effect is default in ubuntu [13:17] why did grub2 go all out on modules? [13:17] MasterOfDisaster : why can't i enable my sound card. [13:17] does anyone have any positive or negative experiences with the proprietry linux drivers for the AMD 5800 series of gfx cards? [13:17] Beastmode: can you take a print screen of the effect?

I am trying to sign the code of conduct which says I need to register my OpenPGP key. When I attempt to register it says that key is already registered but it is not showing up in my account. I am not sure what to do about this... [13:18] !ati | Starcraftmazter [13:18] Starcraftmazter: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:18] gigoguy: unetbootin is another way. I have usb-startup-disk tool here on my 9.10 install.. you could install it on the live cd i guess if you wanted. [13:19] gigoguy: theres also scripts/guides at pendrivelinux.com to walk ya through other ways [13:19] so I understand there have been some changes in 9.10 about graphics drivers - so is it possible to have intel driver run in dualhead mode now? [13:19] Soyo: is that your only launchpad acct? [13:19] Starcraftmazter: oh you put AMD not ATI hmm [13:19] Dr_Willis: OK, thanks!

[13:19] Tartaros: I am not sure, but the Intel graphics support is meant to be better in 9.10 [13:20] it is mostly silent, but once it starts it goes loud and never stops [13:20] sebsebseb: im wondering whether the worse value of nvidia cards is worth the better drivers, buying a new card for a new pc [13:20] Starcraftmazter: oh ok ty [13:20] Oh yeah huh, I did not even think of that [13:20] Beastmode: should pop up with the ability to save the image [13:20] Hi ! I would like to know how to setup windows to open always in the same position and workspace, i'm using Karmik default desktop and Gnome with advanced graphical effects on it. [13:20] ikt: oh just realized it doesnt take it when i have ctrl+alt held also [13:20] Starcraftmazter: yes most nivida cards work rather well, a propritary driver is needed for full support though, but usauly installing that from the repo, and no problem [13:20] ikt: yea it popped up when not pressing ctr+alt [13:20] Starcraftmazter: Nivida is the best for Linux graphics card support! [13:20] Beastmode: ah damn [13:20] sensors is giving me all ~30C [13:21] i don't have menu.lst.

Sounds play when i log in, but not else. I think it is because i need a driver, but shouldent ubuntu find drivers itself? [13:34] ismetteren, if the sound plays when you login, the driver is working [13:34] it is most likely a mixer/configuration issue [13:34] ismetteren: how do you play sound? some audio?

I've found that it cannot connect to some wifi networks --it seems to be the networks that are marked as "abg". My home network is g-only and it works fine. I'm wondering if there's a way to remove the wifi driver and have it re-detect, or reinstall. Back when I first installed Ubuntu I compiled the driver [13:50] manually since that was the only way to make it work. [13:50] Tartaros: console and X or did you mean something else? [13:50] thats a great improvement ;p [13:50] i want to check of a specific object is mounted (server: foobar with cifs) how can i check if foobar is mounted at /media/nas/backup with a command [13:50] erry: wireless generally sucks [13:50] jrib, well its a new install, i didnt do anything to change the ownership in the first place. thats how it was by default, i need to get the filesystem unlocked because im trying to install a wireless usb adapter [13:50] sebsebseb, ive noticed [13:50] I love resetting my AP occasionally [13:50] iceroot: well the « mount » command will list what is mounted [13:50] War: please also answer my second question [13:51] !love > Docteh [13:51] Docteh, please see my private message [13:51] !love [13:51] Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come. [13:51] jrib: i dont want to you mount with grep [13:51] hi [13:51] iceroot: then what do you want... [13:51] can anyone please explain why my flash might not be working properly [13:51] jrib: s/you/use/ [13:51] jrib: well its the whole filesystem i need to get to , in particular usr/src folder and another folder in /lib [13:51] jrib: mount -check foobar somethink like that [13:51] because the problem is that the keyboard buttons don't work but the mouse does [13:51] Docteh: I mean "main menu - system - preferences - Keyboard" and "main menu - system - preferences - SCIM input method setup". And there's also "main menu - system - preferences - IBus" [13:52] datta: well we can start taking guesses or you can just tell us what you did and what you mean by "not working properly" [13:52] having a problem with the fan on ubuntu 9.10, once it starts it doesnt stop, toshiba l300, I have tried acpi_osi=Linux [13:52] for example i went to stickcricket.com to play the game and the mouse does not work [13:52] alright ty anyway [13:52] iceroot: well you have to program then... [13:52] byee :3 [13:52] can anyone tell me how to switch on wireless when hardware switch is not present? [13:52] is it possible to use Xen with ubuntu 9.10 ? I have the following error : grep: /proc/xen/capabilities: no such file or directory [13:52] War: great. Now I understand what you want to do. Have you read the wifi documentation? You should not be installing wifi drivers like that. [13:52] i am using firefox 3 in ubuntu 9.04. please tell me what might be wrong with this because i cannot play games that invoulve the keyboard [13:53] !dependencies [13:53] jrib: i cant imaging there is no such option [13:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about dependencies [13:53] Hello. Where can I ask questions about launchpad? I can't any help on the website. [13:53] !launchpad | DanielC [13:53] iceroot: check « man mount » for yourself. There's no such option because it's easy enough to just use grep [13:53] DanielC: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [13:53] DanielC: ok well that's not useful then, wanted to see what that one was [13:53] kryl: dig around for a kernel package that ends in -xen, I'm not actually sure its got good xen support. if anything you can just roll your own kernel with xen support [13:53] sebsebseb: I know what the launchapd website is :-) [13:54] jrib: i have it was supposed to be for windows, checked in ubuntu website forums and read that there is a driver there for my usb adapter. [13:54] datta: I saw someone with that same complaint earlier. You may want to check bugs.ubuntu.com for an existing bug report to see if any fixes exist in the comments [13:54] !wifi > War [13:54] War, please see my private message [13:54] i got a question for u all please [13:54] Docteh, ok thx u ... [13:54] jrib: but i am using python with sub-process [13:54] War: forum posts are often outdated. Check the wifi documentation ubottu sent you to [13:54] iceroot: so? [13:54] does anyone know where i can download themes for ubuntu [13:54] sebsebseb: Oh, goody, there is a #launchpad channel. :-) [13:54] jrib: and that is not very nice to use subprocess, mount, grep and a returnvalue to be checked [13:55] DanielC: Don't think I have used that factoid before, and that does not suprise me that there is a channel [13:55] iceroot: don't see why but feel free to just use suprocess to get a list of mounts and python to parse that string afterwards [13:55] hi all, anyone know about this grub issue? [13:55] damo: gnome has a site for themes, gtk2 and possibly metacity is what you'll be looking for [13:55] !ask > Phurl [13:55] GRUB _ is all the guys sees on booting karmic [13:55] Phurl, please see my private message [13:55] jrib: well thanks ill look in there see if i can find the answer [13:55] can u get me the link please [13:55] jrib: yeah i think i dont have another chance [13:55] !details | Phurl [13:55] oh you were more specific, nevermind the bot-thingy [13:55] Phurl: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."

[13:56] and on 9.10 the new grub fails [13:56] upgrade [13:57] hiyas. i just installed 8.04 on a dell core2 ps, and it can't really talk to the hard disk and gives me "ata1.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5)". already tried "noapic acpi=off" on the kernel command line without success. what else can i check? [13:57] Phurl: ok well you could have told it to use the old Grub [13:57] where do i get the themes from ? [13:57] Phurl: I think?

[14:05] woble, good question [14:05] jrib: with "normal" mount-points (ext3), its working fine [14:05] no matter :) [14:05] ahh === sale_ is now known as sale [14:06] Xubuntus: if you have write access to the device you could delete stuff... it alwyas pays to be carefull [14:06] lot of negative press on Ubuntu 9.10 upgrade. [14:06] Tartaros: iwant to install linux mint beside ubuntu [14:06] Is it really bad? I am holding back my upgrade. [14:06] TheSaint, dont upgrade, fresh install.. === jay is now known as Guest86697 [14:06] How do actually LOOK at the disk? Where are the disks? Another filemanager?! (I got Thunar at the moment. Xubuntu 9.10) [14:07] TheSaint: yes what woble said [14:07] I guess [14:07] woble: fresh installs are smooth? [14:07] @woble 'dont upgrade' ?? how about servers in production environment? [14:07] Xubuntus: if you are worried about changeing things Mount it 'read only' [14:07] Balsaq: you want two different linux flavors beside themselves? are you sure that's what you really want? [14:07] would you like to come to do a fresh install?? ;-) [14:07] Xubuntus: just reading files dont change things [14:07] Barbapapa: those shoudn't be using 9.10 or 9.04 or 8.10 anyway, they should be using 8.04.3 [14:07] Barbapapa, issues seem to concentrate around Gnome, Sound and Grub <-- only grub would be bad in a production environment.. [14:07] Barbapapa: LTS only yes [14:07] Barbapapa: I think he wants them to hold on till there is a fix for some of these issues. [14:07] Dr_Willis, yeah, that's true. But I don't want anything to suddenly change the bootability/readability of the drive. === rotyyu_ is now known as rotyyu [14:07] !lts | Barbapapa [14:07] Barbapapa: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [14:07] Tartaros...yes i use this particular computer to experiment learn [14:07] anyone have a work around for vmware-server and karmic client mouse/key problems? [14:08] Barbapapa, but I wouldnt recommend running non LTS versions on production anyways [14:08] jrib: working perfect, thanks for the info [14:08] iceroot: no problem [14:08] are you sure? [14:08] Barbapapa: I think 8.04.3 .3 yeah I think is the latest point release, well whatever [14:08] anyone know how to switch on wireless when hardware switch is absent, on a laptop? [14:08] Tartarosi dont care id they are similar...i want to learn to install 2 on one computer regardless [14:08] zoug, anything in the bios config for it? [14:09] philh:no [14:09] Barbapapa, why would you take the risk on something that *must* stay up? [14:09] hi, how can i add new user on ubuntu 9.10 so his home dir becomes crypted? (like in first instalation) [14:09] philh:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1312627 [14:09] is there a page i can look at, to find supported pci wireless n cards ? [14:09] Barbapapa: and an LTS can be upgraded to another LTS, without having to go through the other releases first, where as other installs you have to go through releases to get later ones [14:09] i installed 9.10 for my dad, turns out to be a headache, more than windows. :( [14:09] !hardware [14:09] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [14:09] any idea when the fixes are going to come out which will make the upgrade from 9.04 less troublesome? [14:10] zoug: Why? [14:10] thanks [14:10] jrib: but i bet, that function is not using mount | grep :) [14:10] iceroot: well seems to just use stat not following symlinks to check if the device differs from its parent [14:10] wireless not working, weird kernel panic error.. [14:10] how can i do this please? i need a regexp to bash translator program, something like this translator [1-5] | mkdir which results in mkdir 1 2 3 4 5 [14:10] TheSaint, no .. someone has to make them first [14:10] zoug: Is it a clean install of 9.10 as well? [14:10] tj83__: that was a problem in 9.04, sorry I'm not more helpful but if you google around there is a fix [14:10] jaunty i guess was much more stable [14:10] yeah clean [14:10] zoug: well you can put 9.04 back on [14:11] zoug, i have to disagree on thatone.. [14:11] i thought 9.10 was hot. [14:11] necweston, searching now, might have found, 9.04 works fine actually. [14:11] I have had no issues with 9.10 on my 3 machines. :) it is hot. [14:11] zoug: with Ubuntu it is not about what is the latest, it's about what is still supported, also newer is not always better! [14:11] 9.04 works fine for me. [14:12] ubuntu is never stable, it's always relatively bleeding edge for five minutes after release [14:12] yeah, right. but sometimes it just doesnt work, and that turns me down [14:12] except for faster boot time, I am not sure if there is anything else that I need to look forward to in 9.10 [14:12] TheSaint: and for me, but i'll clean install Karmic on here, I been testing since alpha 4. the other uhmm not sure if it's going 9.10 yet or not, untill I have tried the final. [14:12] sorry if this is in the wrong chan, but i can't get picasa to start [14:12] i myself use 9.10 and its great so far. but for some hardware it isnt.. [14:12] doc_brown, any errors? [14:12] The other new features don't seem to be very important to me. [14:12] woble, no, just nothing happens [14:12] got a little question for all [14:12] philh: Ubuntu's repos are based on Debian testing [14:12] just upgraded netbook remix 9.04 to 9.10, touchpad & wifi drivers are dead in the water & desktop is slow as hell [14:12] can anyone help troubleshoot 3 monitors over two nvidia cards? [14:12] doc_brown, how do you start picasa? [14:13] how can I install the closed source ati drivers on 9.10? [14:13] is there any program to make a exe run in ubuntu ? [14:13] woble, i have 9.10 as a guest in a vbox [14:13] hi all. i was told to use cheese to get my webcam working but still nothing. i was told my cam is a sn9c102. can anyone help?? [14:13] philh: If you want stability I guess Ubuntu LTS, but that can get issues to sometimes, or Debian Stable [14:13] did 9.10 get released in a bit of a hurry to compete with Win 7? [14:13] woble, let me try it in terminal [14:13] TheSaint: no [14:13] !wine | damo [14:13] Balsaq: well obviously you're not having any problem with ubuntu, which is what this channel is about... [14:13] damo: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [14:13] TheSaint: not at all [14:13] damo: wine for windows exes, dosbox for dos [14:13] oooo [14:13] thanks [14:13] Is there any version/flavour of ubuntu so that i can use it in a pc with 128mb ram and 845mhz processor? [14:13] doc_brown, thats a good idea, maybe debug mod? and does it work in a vbox? [14:13] sebsebseb, yep, if you want stability you need to be stuck in a world of ancient releases [14:13] im trying to run camfrog video chat [14:13] zer0c00l, planning to go with a GUI?

[14:14] woble: yes [14:14] TheSaint: a new version of Ubuntu comes out in April and October (except for 2006, when the April version got delayed to June, but that was also the first Long Term Support release) [14:14] hi *. does anyone know why after upgradign to 9.10, any video is weird (like greenish or negative)... I get the problem in two different pc and all the softwares (mplayer, vlc, xine,...) [14:14] woble: Its for newbies [14:14] sebsebseb: Thanks. Maybe it was just a coincidence that this happened immediately after Win7 went public [14:14] TheSaint: not a coincidence at all, it was planned years ago [14:15] TheSaint: to have a release at the end of October 2009 [14:15] woble, http://paste.ubuntu.com/308529/ [14:15] zer0c00l, hmmz, its going to be tough with just 128mb ram, but I have a box with gnome on a 196mb ram (weird number i know) [14:15] can somebody please tell me how to install the prop ati drivers?

[14:16] TheSaint: propritary software such as Windows come out with a new version every three years or so, Ubuntu April and October, the other popular distros get one or two releases a year as well [14:16] * doc_brown has a "registry" error [14:16] * doc_brown has no registry [14:16] doc_brown, are you trying to run picasa in a windows vbox? [14:16] sebsebseb: That is why I like Ubuntu. I switched to Ubuntu from version 7 [14:16] win7 host, 9.10 guest [14:16] doc_brown, since there is a picasa version for linux (ubuntu) [14:16] TheSaint: Mac OS X as well in my example. You went from Windows 7 (Vista version 2) to Ubuntu? [14:16] hi everyone! [14:17] woble, i installed the linux version [14:17] no.. Fedora to ubuntu [14:17] lspci | grep -i audio gives 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03), but Preferences > Sound > Hardware doesn't list any devices. Sound was working this morning in Jaunty, now nothing in Karmic. How do I fix this? [14:17] I found Fedora 8 to be slow. [14:17] hi *. does anyone know why after upgradign to 9.10, any video is weird (like greenish or negative)... I get the problem in two different pc and all the softwares (mplayer, vlc, xine,...) [14:17] doc_brown, why would you run it inside a vbox inside win 7? [14:17] woble, it shows up in applications > graphics > picasa [14:17] woble, picassa is a wine or winelib app, a registry issue isn't that surprising [14:17] i want to know the X biggest files recursiv in a directory ... (with shell) any ideas? :) [14:17] woble, to keep you busy helping me of course [14:17] yo yo yo [14:17] TheSaint: hopefuly 10.04 will be able to compete a bit more properly against Windows 7, thing is, becasue of lack of commercial software and hardware vender support, Ubuntu and other Linux distros can't do this fully yet. [14:18] sebsebseb: when is 10.04 going to be out? [14:18] lol [14:18] 6 months? lol [14:18] TheSaint: secrets in the version number [14:18] * woble still has to install his free copy of win7 professional..

[14:18] woble: I think vista/7 have to be on the first partition [14:19] i'm trying to mount a partition that i saved with clonezilla, following this sort of guide:http://www.mail-archive.com/clonezilla-live@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00260.html but i can't get the last command working... [14:19] Hi, how can I use rsync to download karmic kubuntu dvd? any link? [14:19] sebsebseb: By that time Windows 7 would be on SP1 at least. [14:19] dro, i have Vista on the 1st atm [14:19] is there a google chan? [14:19] TheSaint: just like 9.10 was released in 200(9) in the 10th month (october) [14:19] it it will probably load the default win7 bootloader [14:19] and override grub [14:19] GutZuWiSSeN: find -exec ls -s {} \; |sort -n [14:19] hi all... i tried to install the ati driver for my laptop on karmic, however i think i did something wrong as now compiz won't start and I can't do an awful lot :( [14:20] Inferus: use metacity and then remove the driver using synaptic [14:20] GutZuWiSSeN: or ls -lR --sort=size [14:20] sorry, im pretty noob, can you help me ActionParsnip? [14:20] Inferus: you can then reinstall the driver [14:20] hi [14:20] TheSaint: then around the time XP runs out of support on the consumer/homeuser desktop in 2014, Ubuntu 14.04 should be coming out :) which will be an LTS according to how releases are done. Maybe Wine will be able to run most XP programs by then as well and well :) [14:20] Inferus, try to install with envyng [14:20] big problem while upgrading to karmic [14:20] * Inferus shrugs [14:20] on some server [14:20] i dont know what you guys mean ! [14:21] i had a kernel panic while upgrading [14:21] what are my solution [14:21] Inferus: metacity will load by default if compiz can't raise its ugly head, search synaptic for frglx and uinstall the driver [14:21] sebsebseb: They say the world will end on Dec 2012. So, maybe ubuntu 14.04 may never come out. [14:21] Looks to be impossible to enable SHMconfig -- tried all tricks for /etc/hal/fdi/policy , /usr/share/hal/... and /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:21] yeah, i need to put the fglfx driver back on i think ActionParsnip ? [14:21] (i was trying to get PKR to play) [14:21] Inferus: you need to take it out first [14:21] oh? [14:22] how do i do that, in package manager? [14:22] Inferus: you can then put it back in once the old is out [14:22] Inferus: yes [14:22] TheSaint: the world will end then what? ,but maybe things will have gotton rather flooded, because of global warming and ice caps melting, this has gone a bit off topic now by the way [14:23] Something is now disabling the trackpad on my Adesso for about a half second after hitting any non-control key. I use spacebar for running and trackball for steering in WoW, so this is a big problem. [14:23] ActionParsnip: i can't find it :S [14:23] * doc_brown opens lid to garbage [14:23] * doc_brown drops laptop in [14:23] sebsebseb, then we pigs will be the masters of the world !!!! [14:23] ahh i think i have it [14:23] Inferus: run: dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video [14:23] Inferus: one will be the package to uninstall [14:23] mm [14:23] 1 sec then [14:24] Inferus: if you have it, you dont need that command [14:24] ActionParsnip it came up with a big list [14:24] QUESTION: just got Karmic installed. It sees my SB X-FI Extreme both in lspci and in sound preferences, yet I have no audio out. Am I missing something? [14:24] Not see any obvious config setttngs that would have triggered temporarily disabling the trackpad after typing. Did they COMPILE that behavior in PERMANENTLY? [14:24] Inferus: it will, ubuntu installs a truckload of pointless drivers by default [14:25] k [14:25] I did a fresh install of 9.10 and now I can't launch X11 apps from Terminal windows... Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 anyone else seen this or know a fix? [14:25] Inferus: like I said, if you see the package in add/remove programs you dont need the command [14:25] hm [14:25] riddley: you don't have nfs homes do you? [14:25] Did 9.10 break the resumption of USB devices after suspend? [14:25] tarzeau, no [14:25] ActionParsnip I still don't get it :( [14:26] what would the package be? [14:26] From term, try " xhost +local: " [14:26] with karmic, we cannot use network-manager-vpnc to connect to a cisco concentrator as the logged in user - interactively as root (simply called as sudo vpnc) works. any ideas how to get this working? [14:26] i downloaded from ati.amd.com the driver for my onboard graphics [14:26] I notice that a) my fingerprint reader, and b) my 3G built-in 'modem' are both not detected after suspend [14:26] tried to install it [14:26] didnt really work [14:26] turned laptop on today, and its not working with compiz [14:26] I have to flip wireless off and then on again to get it to detect my 3G modem so I can connect [14:26] ActionParsnip: remember that add/remove has been replaced by the Software Centre in 9.10. Also they have planned to replace Synaptic by it in 10.04. [14:26] adrn: weird that worked. do I have to do that every time I log in? [14:26] hi all. can anyone recommend a good desktop publisher please ? been using microsloth publisher 2007, but looking for something decent in ubuntu. any recommendations ? [14:27] adrn: I'd tried 'xhost +localhost' before [14:27] can't seem to get seahorse to cache my ssh keys when using xterm. Any suggestions? [14:27] Inferus: you have a list there one willl say frglx (or whatever the spelling is) simply remove that package and the driver will be gone [14:27] k [14:27] Software Centre is a gutted, over simplified version of Synaptic -- losing it would be a horror [14:27] anyone help me with a webcam problem plz? [14:27] jugglerbry, well, there's scribus, but it bears little resemblance to publisher(not that this is generally considered a bad thing) [14:27] sebsebseb: i use apt-get which will always be there [14:27] sebsebseb: gui takes too long [14:28] losing synaptic would be awful [14:28] ActionParsnip: yeah indeed GUI's are slow for that kind of stuff [14:28] ActionParsnip i just removed one now [14:28] ati binary code or something [14:28] adrn: Well it's going to happen [14:28] I've got a dual monitor display up and running, but I'd like to have a Gnome panel running across the top of each screen (as opposed to one screen having a panel at the top and the bottom), how would I go about doing this? Changing the settings of one panel to "top" puts it just below the existing gnome panel. [14:28] scribus is what i've seen so far, just looking for recommendations really before i go ahead and install etc [14:28] isn't software centre just a replacement for add/remove? [14:28] adrn: That's only a start the Software Centre replaceing add/remove, it's going to do a lot more than just that in future releases [14:29] Inferus: try: sudo apt-get --purge remove xorg-driver-fglrx [14:29] eurythmia: go to panel preferences -> uncheck expand then you can move the panel to the monitor and expand it again [14:29] philh: for now, but in future releases it will be more than just that, and will become a rather important part of Ubuntu [14:29] k [14:29] what else is planned for it sebsebseb ? [14:29] TsukeHiki, nice to know. Thanks :) [14:29] sebsebseb, i imagine it'll be less crippled by that point [14:30] it took me a while to figure out too [14:30] Package xorg-driver-fglrx is not installed, so not removed [14:30] Inferus: ok try: dpkg -l | grep fglrx [14:30] Software manager makes what was one window with package and description impossible [14:31] ActionParsnip ^ [14:31] ActionParsnip: i got a list... what am i looking for? [14:31] anyone know where to start getting 9.10 to use my touchpad? [14:31] I take it nobody else has noticed USB devices are not being enabled on resume from suspend then ... [14:31] how do I tell grub2 to regenerate grub.conf?\ [14:31] jugglerbry, inkscape's very good but it isn't really designed for dtp, then there's openoffice, of course [14:31] philh: yeah exactly it looks nice, but installing software with it isn't that easy really [14:31] ok so the only DTP recommended is scribus ? [14:31] Inferus: ones that look like video drivers [14:31] Tartaros: sudo update-grub [14:31] k thx [14:31] philh: I guess that's basically what you meant by what you put [14:32] thanks philh - yeah have seen inkscape and OO, just looking for dedicated DTP [14:32] ii xserver-xorg-v 1:6.12.99+git2 X.Org X server -- ATI display driver wrapper [14:32] ActionParsnip ^ [14:32] philh: actsaully I haven't installed any software with it yet, just seen how it would be done in development version of Karmic [14:32] I am getting a "error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.5.so.1.0" even though the file is present and i ran sudo ldconfig. anybody got an idea why?

[14:43] well I suppose I wont rush to upgrade, give it alittle time to work out the bugs [14:43] Wolfcastle, it might be easier to start alsamixer from a terminal and hit tab to switch to the recording view [14:43] linux_trojan, that's often the best policy, with any software [14:43] Is there anyway to force ubuntu to scan for drivers off the install disk? When booting from CD it finds the drivers for graphics card and wireless card now that installed on hard drive it doesn't off to use the drivers [14:44] Does anyone know of a command line FTP client that supports resume on upload?

Software Center only showed two packages -- installed, program would not complete launching. Searching Synaptic Package Manager, I see that there are quite a few other packages that Software Center ignored. [14:46] 7Whois linux_trojan [14:46] K3rl0u4rn: Maybe yes, file a bug. [14:47] Wolfcastle, what are you using to record, audacity? can you set preferences to make it use alsa instead of pulse, just incase pa is getting in the way? [14:47] adrn: What type of env? server? [14:47] Taejo: I think it basically means with generic that is isn't some fancy version of the kernel [14:47] seb2: thank you [14:47] so no Ubuntu UEC users? [14:47] Taejo: generic is fine also for most Ubuntu users, hence why the kernels are generic [14:47] I have read numerous comments that disabling pulse and using ALSA fixes all sorts of audio issues. [14:47] philh, was trying with sound recorder...guess I can stop pulseaudio and try it out === adam is now known as Guest90598 [14:48] hi, I found a bug in gnome whereby one background is being imposed on another. what gnome program handles the background/wallpaper?

[15:14] yh [15:14] damo: look in ~/.config/menus/applications-merged [15:14] ActionParsnip: I already did ask this question many times now but no one reply, do you know? [15:14] Hi , I just upgraded to karmic , and the boot time is much slower than in Jaunty. Is there a way to speed it up ? === Guest5267 is now known as socrates_ [15:14] damo: Click edit menus. [15:14] edgy: not something i use, sorry [15:14] damo, right click application, edit menu, uncheck wine [15:14] kk ty [15:14] damo: Select the correct menu, then uncheck wine. [15:15] I upgraded to 9.10 and Gnome freezes after nm-applet asks for the keyring password. I'm now running on an older kernel, and no freeze, but it barely works. [15:15] omg [15:15] worked thanks lol [15:15] next question [15:15] edgy, why do you want to use rsync? [15:15] where do i download a firewall [15:15] yadudoc: could use bum to reduce boot up items [15:15] No prob. [15:15] !firewall | damo [15:15] damo: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [15:15] o ok [15:15] so i dont need download one [15:15] awsome :) [15:15] nope. [15:15] canthus13, no anything about desktop sound effects in Karmic? [15:16] jgonick: Nope. I'm boring. I'm still using Hardy. :) [15:16] how do i see hidden folders in my home diconery [15:16] ActionParsnip, bum ? But why did boot get slower ? Isn't it supposed to get faster ? any clue ? [15:16] cnt spell [15:16] Ha I am on my blackberry :p [15:16] damo: from Nautilus, ctrl-H. from the command line ls -A [15:16] damo, View > Show hidden files [15:16] ActionParsnip, is it because of the old applications from jaunty ? [15:16] hi [15:17] done it thanks [15:17] Speculater: congrats? [15:17] hi, I'm using XFCE4 and I love it, but how can I disable compiz permanently? I don't want it [15:17] yadudoc: its only as fast as the config [15:17] Speculater: Don't hurt yourself. [15:17] Lol thanks [15:17] what bb vers you have? [15:17] yadudoc: you could also read: dmesh | less to see if there is anything causing a holdup [15:17] this system is well better than xp [15:17] ^speculater [15:18] pticochon: uninstall it [15:18] hi #ubuntu. NetworkManager Applet (/usr/bin/nm-applet), the gnome network manager in the toolbar, asks for a password to use, but only accept a previous password! Not my latest one. This has been happening for around a month now. Anyone know of any solutions? [15:18] ActionParsnip, thanks but [15:18] well better, eh? [15:18] I'd like to just disable it from the startup programs [15:18] I could do that in gnome but I don't know how to do that in xfce :) [15:18] pticochon: that works too, possibly in ~/.config/autostart [15:18] ActionParsnip, was there a typo ? bash says no dmesh [15:18] Is there a gui to manage 'sevices' like tomcat and apache? [15:18] ActionParsnip, demsg ? [15:18] let me try [15:19] ActionParsnip, sorry* dmesg ?

When I get to the logon screen the graphics are blurred and torn. I understand lots of people have sorted this by removing compiz. I did this and it was ok for a while. Now the problem is back and I have run out of things to fix it. The 9.10 liveCD also doesnt work. In fact 9.04 and 8.10 didnt work either. The last release I had working correctly was 8.04. Has anyone else had suc [15:21] openweek9: yes and yes [15:21] trying [15:21] hi, can anyone help me configure my dell inspiron 1300 wireless card? [15:21] The program crashed on an assertion failure, but the message could not be retrieved. Apport does not support reporting these crashes. [15:21] yadudoc: look at the times on the left, if you see a large gap in time then there is your issue [15:22] joeyeye: Hello, I am still trying to fix my graphics. Thanks for your help yesterday [15:22] /join #cakephp [15:23] man [15:23] I removed compiz from there [15:23] but it was a mistake [15:23] :D [15:23] compiz still loads [15:23] what what what [15:23] but it takes a little to show the title bars of the windows and so [15:23] oh hi [15:24] I'm using xfce ok [15:24] and I love it [15:24] BUT [15:24] it loads compiz by default, and I don't want it [15:24] ActionParsnip, gnome-service-manager does not work with upstart I believe [15:24] alan___: Hmm.. b43-fwcutter may get you up and running.

[15:31] I'm trying Ubuntu Netbook Remix off USB, running into bug #469255 ("can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow") ... I think there may be a better workaround than remaking the USB stick without the local storage option... [15:32] alan___: Just go to a terminal, and type sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [15:32] Anyone know what part of the init scripts it hits that error in?

[15:32] I need "Adaptive Multi Rate (AMR) decoder" for rythmbox [15:32] philh: because I already have downloaded a beta version [15:32] anyone got a good kernel compile guide for karmic ? [15:32] alan___: That should take care of the problem. [15:32] alan___, just apt-get install b43-cutter [15:32] san123, might check the application tab under sound pref. ..Should see ALSA-plugin [15:32] alan___: It's really no harder than that. [15:32] philh: so I want now to only download the difference [15:33] alan___: The rest of the instructions are for distributions that don't have any native packages. [15:34] ok i did that so it should now work? [15:34] Check your wireless. [15:35] It should. [15:35] maybe need a reboot cos no wireless there [15:35] is there a strong reason to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10? [15:35] !xubuntu [15:35] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

My laptop is a Latitude C610 also with 1GB of RAM. Both have graphics problems and so far I have spent at least 40 hours trying to fix them but I seem to be getting nowhere. Is it better to just give up and go back to Hardy? [15:40] I just put the disk back in, and re-installed grub, going to see if that helped, anyone know of anything like this? [15:40] JonathanEllis: these are clean installs ? or upgrades> [15:40] Dr_Willis, how an i do that [15:40] Clean installs [15:41] !w32codecs [15:41] philh, no i still dont hear any voice only video [15:41] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [15:41] kelli: install the w32codec pack from medibuntu repos [15:41] kelli: you installed from ubuntu 9.10 cd [15:41] san123, and there are no errors in the terminal window? [15:41] sorry [15:41] philh, no [15:41] no using 9.04 [15:41] san123, maybe check the pulse-audio volume control applet and make sure firefox isn't muted for some stupid reason [15:42] JonathanEllis: the intel video drivers are constantly being tweaked (if they have intel video) so you may want to check the forums every so often for 9.10 video updates/info [15:42] is there a specific room to talk about software made for ubuntu?

[15:43] bradland, no i am looking for a certain software that is like frostwire, only not software because software is bugged for 9.10 [15:43] its from down loads [15:43] Dr_Willis: The desktop has a matrox G200 card but the same problem is there on both the onboard intel adapter and the Matrox. It makes no difference which graphics adapter I use. The last release I had working correctly was Hardy but there the wifi wont work properly on my laptop [15:43] only not frostwire i mean, sorry, typo [15:43] MrKlown: ah, i see. this is probably the best place for it then [15:43] philh, so you dont know comands fori t?

[15:45] Dr_Willis: I got given it to use twin monitors. I havent even begun to work out how to configure dual monitors in Karmic - that doesnt work either. Honestly am I wasting my time?

[15:46] MrKlown, what's wrong with frostwire? [15:46] how do I tell what package the supplies the host command? [15:46] not only it fu,,ed up mu opensuse boot config ,itss very unstable and buggyt [15:46] my problem with frostwire, while i do love it, is the simple fact that it gets stuck in the task tray and crashes [15:46] Catwoman69y2k: i'm not sure you can connect as two different users to two different shares on the same machine using samba [15:46] how i can disable acpi on ubuntu 9.10?

Yeah, I tried force user in my smb.conf but it still only reads the force user I set up for the home directories [15:47] Catwoman69y2k: for linux to linux - you may want to look into using sshfs, or nfs as an alterantive to samba [15:47] Dr_Willis: I understood one of the reasons for using linux instead of windows was to escape the constant need to buy new hardware. I cant afford to replace both computers [15:47] i have problem with shuting down my pc? [15:47] Hey! guyz! please help no sound in firefox [15:47] my keyboard is all mixed up, how can I fix this?

[15:48] I have a music collection, and for some reason Banshee decided that it doesn't want to play certain files, but it just silently ignores them and puts an 'X' next to their name without giving me any more information. The files play with mpg321, so it's not a codec issue. How do I find out why they are not playing? [15:48] Yeah, we tried nfs but it wasnt making sense to me [15:48] its very much more stable and the same version of soft as ubuntu [15:48] JonathanEllis: there are other disrtos with focus on old machines. [15:48] are ubuntu packages (from the pkg mngr) binaries? ie, is there a lot of time wasted compiled sources like distro X? [15:48] rd, opensuse points "more" at stability but less at newest support :) [15:48] help for tdt usb pinnacle pctv 70e [15:48] ¿?

[15:48] even thier personal archives are more stable than oficial release of ubuntu [15:48] JonathanEllis, I had a similar problem and finally ended up manually editing the xorg.conf file. It was a pain but doable. I was using Xubuntu. [15:49] hallo how to turn off acpi? [15:49] Well, where would I start looking?

The Ubuntu server PHP5 guide is found at https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/php5.html [15:51] tarelerulz, weird ...

[15:53] Catwoman69y2k: or for some quick shareing/access/transfers - you can use sshfs [15:53] dassouki, install ssh server and every user has ftps [15:53] joeyeye: Yes I am getting nowhere fast with google. Lots of people have solved their problem by removing compiz but that hasnt worked for me. The annoying thing is that worked until I copied in xorg.conf.

[16:55] philh lilyshu yes man i install the correct drive base on linux.and i download the drive in nvidia.com too.i tryed to install with 5 diferent metods +- [16:55] it's close enough to an emulator, no need to cause unnecessary confusion [16:56] Hi Jordan_U [16:56] philh: It's distinctively different from an emulator. [16:56] mesula, fission61, lilyshu, adrn, the default of ubuntu just make or entire screen or active window. I would like something like "import MyScreenshot.png" with ImageMagick enabled [16:56] #ubuntu-es [16:56] mesula, again, arguments for the sake of it, these people don't need to know or care [16:56] wait what? [16:56] is there any way to make java apps gui to inherit the fonts of the gnome system? [16:56] fiatlux, most of my vid games that are opengl don't play the sounds right, and torcs didn't wither untill i choose the other option besides opengl [16:56] can i seafely delete all /var/log/* contents??? === om26er1 is now known as om26er [16:56] *either [16:56] no [16:56] I need to remove linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-14-generic as suggested here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/395630 [16:57] Hello [16:57] can someone help me do that, much appreciated [16:57] I need a hack [16:57] docmax: That screwed my system up before. [16:57] what would you guys recommend for listening to midi files.. [16:57] VLC doesn't support it lol [16:57] docmax: Some things will complain about missing files. [16:57] BenG92: I thought that the b43-fwcutter package itself would install without a network connection, I guess I was wrong [16:57] sudo apt-get purge linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-14-generic [16:57] docmax: I think you can safely remove most of it. [16:57] Paullo_, which 5 methods have you tried? it shouldn't take much fiddling [16:57] Is it possible to download via http somewhere else than on the laptop [16:57] mesula, thats why im asking... screwed my last system too [16:57] Paullo_ : in the terminal type gksu nvidia-settings , then tell me the results [16:58] BenG92: Instead you can download the firmware itself and copy it to /lib/firmware/b43 [16:58] tstebut: What hack are you talking about. [16:58] fisuk: Is your Gnome locking up? [16:58] Mark Shuttleworth [16:58] docmax: It wasn't completely screwed, though, I recreated the files that caused the problems. [16:58] is there a paket containing a script or program which safely deletes log-stuff? [16:58] docmax: you can use logrotate manually, to force the issue. [16:58] Jordan_U where do I get the firmware? [16:58] good man for africa... [16:58] anyone have a problem with opengl's sound type (is it openal?) [16:58] fission61: Is your Gnome locking up on reboot? [16:58] i will try what lilyshu said (shutter) for screenshot, Thanks :D [16:58] sipior, just legrotate ? [16:59] hylian, opengl's sound type? [16:59] Afternoon all. I am using Ubuntu 9.04 with Fluxbox as my desktop. I have gone through the services and the startup programs shutting as much off as I can.

If I can't find one I will put a copy on my server you can download [16:59] hi [16:59] fititnt : np [16:59] i cant see my network interfaces in dmesg [16:59] docmax: no, have a look at "man logrotate" (you'll probably need the "-f" switch, among others) [16:59] i think i am talking about openal, and i might have solved it myself, brb [16:59] hey there, anyone know what package contains the python module app_util? [16:59] penthief: yea i upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 from 9.04 everythign appeared seamless, than i reboot and X appears not to start and just sort of hangs with a black screen..not sure what to do [16:59] im using latest kubuntu [16:59] ok thanks Jordan_U [16:59] !upgrading [16:59] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [16:59] updated to lastest [16:59] lilyshu im in windows because in linux i cant see nothing just enter in control+alt+f1 [16:59] whileimhere, custom kernel [17:00] philh with linux install de drive,im install manuall...and all does not work [17:00] i install de the linux [17:00] I need to remove linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-14-generic as suggested here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/395630 Any and all help greatly appreciated [17:00] more 6 times [17:00] Paullo_, and which one actually killed off X for you?

[17:08] Anyone know why 9.10 is causing a kernel crash when I suspend my laptop? [17:08] edgy: You're using telnet, that's what [17:08] i just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and the system does not recognize my grafic card as used to do in 9.04 The grafic card is a Nvidia 7400 Go. there are no drivers in Hardware Drivers. [17:08] edgy: dislay is not an ip-address [17:08] hi *. does anyone know why after upgradign to 9.10, any video is weird (like greenish or negative)... I get the problem in two different pc and all the softwares (mplayer, vlc, xine,...)

[17:09] iceroot: It simply defaults to localhost. [17:09] Hi all, my main menu is messed up after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10. "Places" and "System" are both half the height of all other elements and it's very difficult to mouse over them. Help please!

[17:09] ioneye: install the ones from Nvidia. They work great [17:09] edgy: and b) it's a lot more convienent to use X11 over it. [17:09] iceroot: No, I don't. [17:09] grawity: for some reason I cannot use ssh [17:09] edgy: What exactly? [17:09] grawity: that is bad :) [17:10] grawity: it's a server I cannot install anything on it [17:10] edgy: do you have openssh-server on both boxes? [17:10] iceroot: DISPLAY=192.168.15.2:0 is perfectly fine syntax. [17:10] iceroot: It used to be common before the days of X-over-SSH. [17:10] bastid_raZor: no, I can only use telnet [17:10] grawity, but now my swap file is /dev/sda3 so what do i do to the file to make it use it at startup?

I can only get on internet via "sudo pon". I [17:11] would really appreciate any help. [17:11] Omen_20: One way would be " /dev/sda3 none swap defaults 0 0 " [17:11] Omen_20: A better way would be to use the UUID of that partition; sudo blkid, to find out. [17:11] grawity, ok thanks === someone is now known as Guest1142 [17:12] edgy: Eh. If you're forced to use it... If I recall correctly, by default the X server only listens on an Unix socket, and not for network (TCP) connections.

[17:16] christop - has he installed CCSM? [17:16] irv : right click and edit [17:16] i tried to reinstall metacity and compiz but nothinh [17:16] BenG92: np, by the way you can delete all those files from the desktop when you are done [17:16] tslak, it's installed since 8.10 [17:16] lilyshu: i only see the option to remove?

Boot faster? More stable? Morer betterer? [17:19] "Morer betterer" <3 [17:19] eheh [17:19] boot faster java [17:19] i think 9.04 is more stable [17:19] hello guys [17:19] christop - i remember something very similar happening to me when I was using an older distro, back when installing Compiz was a whole complicated ordeal. Can't for the life of me remember what the cause was [17:19] in 9.10 i noticed a lot of crash/bugs [17:19] my bro has 9.04 and doesnt boot as fast [17:19] Had a prob with 9.10 [17:19] my brother has put latest one on myn i think lol [17:20] tslak, i've just renamed ~/.compiz to ~/compiz.old [17:20] i am running 9.04 and looking at 9.10 on CD, so it is harder to tell. Although the CD is secretly just a file on HD....LOL [17:20] Which is a good way to crypt a folder, considering that sometimes i move my data to another hd and i need read these data from another notebook? [17:20] bye all gona go win chips on blackjack lol [17:20] javatexan: I wish I'd never upgraded. My laptop freezes on bootup with the latest kernel, and gnome is strange with the older one.

Empathy just continues to annoy me, however now the indicator-applet-session seems locked to it :-/ [17:20] christop: AFAIK, Compiz uses Gconf for settings storage. So... if you must wipe all settings, gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz [17:21] I recently installed 9.10.. Prob is that my max screen resolution being detected is 800x6-- :( But i want to set it to 1024x768.. Anybody knows how to go about??? [17:21] Twirrim: Sure. http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu - and you'll even get the latest version with video support. [17:21] so if I get input output error in my daemon logs, does that mean that nfs-kernel-server hasnt actually started despite it eventually saying "[OK]"? [17:21] it allows me to use windows as it should be....a really nice secondary OS [17:21] can i seafely delete all /var/log/* contents???

[17:23] as i mentioned before Jordan_U i can't since there are no drivers in there [17:23] ioneye: use System > Administration > Hardware Drivers, or try Envy-NG [17:23] !enter [17:23] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [17:23] Adi1: No, t's probably that your current driver doesn't support a higher resolution.

[17:24] Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller [17:24] Adi1: try moving the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup and restarting. Xorg does a reasonable job of creating one on the fly. [17:25] hi can I setup disk quota on useradd ????? [17:25] can i use a file created using dd as swap? [17:25] Adil: it can be KMS.

[17:28] jordan_U http://paste.ubuntu.com/308654/ [17:29] bro: the only difference between the system where 'm installing ubuntu it's that I'm using a new disk, the system worked like a charm [17:29] grawity: I stand corrected.. it does, provided you actually remove empathy [17:29] Anyone know why 9.10 is causing a kernel error upon resuming a session?

[17:30] JMFTheVCI: sometimes if a connection was not closed properly that can happen [17:30] bro: if I book in root debug mode it doesn't reboots [17:30] Anyone know why 9.10 is causing a kernel error upon resuming a session? [17:30] Has persisted over re-boots. [17:30] Hello [17:30] sure [17:30] Dmole: How to remove it? [17:30] I installed Ubuntu 9.04 using Wubi, and today i finished upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 in that Wubi installation of Ubuntu [17:30] I'm having few problems with Ubuntu, I'm kinda newb to this. [17:31] Adi1: http://www.x.org/wiki/IntelGraphicsDriver [17:31] Anyone can help ? [17:31] does anyone had problems concerning the python version ? [17:31] Haitham: just ask [17:31] Haitham: how about stating your problem? [17:31] prokoschnov: not me, yet [17:31] my problem is that when I'm turning off Ubuntu, it doesn't turns off [17:31] ask Haitham [17:31] k Surlent777 [17:31] prokoschnov: that its RC.? [17:31] prokoschnov: its final in updates [17:31] Anyone know why 9.10 is causing a kernel error upon resuming a session on a dell mini9? [17:31] prokoschnov: Perhaps if you explain the exact problem you're having then someone can help you. [17:31] What is the command for the shutdown screen to appear? that one with Restart, shut down, hibernate [17:32] JMFTheVCI: did you try ifconfig? [17:32] JMFTheVCI: or that other one [17:32] Jordan_U xrandr > http://paste.ubuntu.com/308656/ [17:32] there appears a message saying "deactivating swap" [17:32] sure Pici, i can't install exelearning due to python version problems [17:32] but nothing happens === S is now known as Guest99545 [17:32] First, it's about partitioner manager, I was stuck there for like 15 minutes trying to remove the old "C" partition and put a new one for Ubuntu OS, but never worked - kept telling me "Not defined System root file" something like that, what happent to the old OS (Windows XP), I certainly don't wanna have 2 OS's in my system. [17:32] prokoschnov: What is that? I don't see a package in the repositories matching that name. [17:32] Dmole: I can remove it with ifconfig but it returns on reboot. [17:32] did not understand om26er [17:33] what can I do? [17:33] if building a custom livecd, how do i change default keyboard layout in gnome? [17:33] whats the permission to give write access to everyone. [17:33] that is the point Pici ! [17:33] Haitham: You can just use automatic partitioning, if you use maual partitioning though you need to designate which partition should be the root partition [17:33] Haitham: you define your / partition? [17:33] Anyone know why 9.10 is causing a kernel error upon resuming a session on a dell mini9? [17:33] Haitham: Set the mountpoint to "/" [17:34] resno: rwxr--r-- or something like that [17:34] i have this problem also tslak [17:34] JMFTheVCI: probably something you installed expects it and added it to /etc/network/interfaces or some place [17:34] I installed Ubuntu 9.04 using Wubi, and today i finished upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 in that Wubi installation of Ubuntu. my problem is that when I'm turning off Ubuntu, it doesn't turns off. there appears a message saying "deactivating swap", but nothing happens. What can I do? [17:34] hi, i'd like to enable auto logon on startup but i can't unlock the window when i choose System > Login ... how could i do please [17:34] myway - i just downloaded and installed a kerneloops tracker update...think it solves the problem? [17:34] guys???? [17:35] Ok, now everything is over - Do i have to go back to the boot menu in-order to remove the old "C" partition and creat a new one and put the Mount point "/" then reinstall ubuntu? [17:35] worm: You should just have to put your password in [17:35] i have no idea, anyway i noticed that many people reported it tslak [17:35] I need help!!! [17:35] gperalta: you and everyone else. [17:35] hello everybody! I've experienced some trouble using ubuntu 9.04 on my vaio , so [17:36] I tryed to move to 9.10 [17:36] Haitham: no you could use gparted for formating. [17:36] worm: Also, you'll notice that the new gdmconfig program is just short of useless in general =( [17:36] Surlent777, the button "Unlock" does nothing when i click on it [17:36] Dmole: tun0 is not in /etc/network/interfaces. Just the normal iface lo intet loopback [17:36] too fast for me..... [17:36] what can I do? [17:36] bye bye ! :D [17:36] myway - well at least i'm not the only one. If it's being heavily reported it shouldn't take long to get an update [17:36] worm: Wow, I have no idea what to do on that one [17:36] if building a custom livecd, how do i change default keyboard layout in gnome? [17:36] or the usual fdisk, either way but i like gparted (i love gui) [17:36] I've installed a development branch [17:36] mayday [17:36] so i can't enable auto login on my computer :( [17:36] tslak: yes, i think also [17:36] I have gperalta's problem, any ideas? [17:36] Haitham: Just choose the option titled something like "erase and use the entire disk" [17:36] Hi everyone [17:36] now that the stable version has been released [17:37] Can anyone help me with postgresql installation [17:37] dAlfa89: Exactly the same? [17:37] Does anyone recall the tsched=1 option in PulseAudio? That was in prerelease Karmic and in Jaunty, but seems to be missing from defaults in Karmic? [17:37] Jordan_U - you sure it won't remove my files? [17:37] Adi1: sry no intel, but i915.modeset=0 [17:37] JMFTheVCI: must be in /etc/init.d/ someplace, do you NEEED it gone? [17:37] is there a way to move to this? I mean my grub continues to tell me i'm using a development branch [17:37] !ask | bjarni: [17:37] bjarni:: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:37] even if my system is up to date [17:37] dAlfa89: the same problem? [17:37] Haitham: Ahh, I thought that you only had a windows partition. Didn't realize you also had a separate data partition [17:37] I mean, it seemed like removing the whole hard-disk, cleaning it up I mean. [17:37] Dmole: prefferably. Don't like to have any wasted resource if possible. [17:37] zden sorry bro din get u [17:38] Noo, I have like 4 Partitions, one is for Windows ( i wanna remove and put ubuntu on), and 3 others contains Files (Pics..etc) [17:38] what happens on /etc/init.d/networking restart ? [17:38] I goofed. Im trying to get 8.4 to reinstall completely [17:38] Jordan_U: i think he already has ubuntu installed, so gparted would be a really nice solution to erasing his c drive [17:38] JMFTheVCI: /etc/init.d/networking restart? [17:38] how to get winrar on ubuntu [17:38] ? [17:38] it wont install configuration files [17:38] !rar | rajen [17:38] rajen: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [17:39] rajen: short version: install the unrar package [17:39] rajen: use 7zip [17:39] wine - winrar if you have windows like second system [17:39] i have karmic [17:39] Hi, I installed Ubuntu 9.04 using Wubi, and today i finished upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 in that Wubi installation of Ubuntu. my problem is that when I'm turning off Ubuntu, it doesn't turns off. there appears a message saying "deactivating swap", but nothing happens. What can I do? [17:39] hello [17:39] or use other program like 7zip or smth [17:39] hello, why rubygems1.9.1 install gems into /var/lib/gems/1.9.1 [17:39] ? [17:39] guys is there a way to install fbsplash on ubuntu without recompiling anything? [17:39] Dmole: Yup, done that, still there. [17:40] rajen install "unrar" package and you will be able to pack and unpack [17:40] is there someone able to help to get my terratec dmx 24/96 audio card working on ubuntu 9.10? [17:40] pepePlu: What's wrong with usplash? [17:41] gperalta: do you have a swap > ram size? [17:41] guys??? Isnt it possible to detect that resolution??? Im trying this only becoz in 9.04 everything was workin fine!! 9.10 giving me this prob!! [17:41] usplash != fbsplash [17:41] Dmole: i don't have a swap partition, i use wubi [17:41] JMFTheVCI: look in /etc/init.d/networking [17:41] Jordan_U.. fbsplash also adds an image to the terminal [17:41] What is the notification area that flashes up on top of the windows called, as opposed to the notification area in the top panel? [17:42] How do i stop the pc from automatically logging on? [17:42] JonathanEllis1: libnotify [17:42] So if I wanted my XFS partition to mount at startup, would I add the line: [17:42] /dev/sda2 /media/Media auto 0 0 [17:42] gperalta: right.... never used it but can't you just close the window? [17:42] Jordan_U like this http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/fbsplash/shots/livecd-2005.0-verbose.png [17:42] Jordan_U: Thanks [17:42] cxo: System > Administration > Login Screen [17:42] JonathanEllis1: The daemon is notify-osd; there's an older one called "notification-daemon" that's not as pretty but a little more stable. [17:42] or is auto wrong? and do I need any options with it? [17:42] Dmole: it's a console message, it's not a window [17:43] JonathanEllis1: Both use libnotify and are swappable, if you got any problems. [17:43] Dmole: it appears when ubuntu turns off [17:43] Omen_20: defaults 0 0 ? [17:43] if my network disconnects its not being able to connect to that wireless again unless I restart my laptop.This is happening since using 9.10 . [17:43] Dmole: but it never turns off [17:43] Are there any suggestions for improving PulseAudio performance in Karmic? Still getting some pops and crackles here and there. I seem to have more success with ALSA. [17:43] i added 3-4 partitions today;) [17:43] grawity: Thanks. The one installed by default in karmic causes graphics problems on my ageing laptop [17:43] so is it possble guys? [17:43] anyone help.. try to install 9.10 got throgh the proceedure as far as 3of6 the k/board its UK click forward jumps from 3of6 to 4of7 the partition manager and i am looking at a blank white box nothing in it cant do anything with it apart from shutting ti puter down any advice [17:43] I'm gonna try GParted for now, although I have another question - How do i get rid of "Authentication" windows, they keep coming, can't I just authenticate once for good? [17:44] skysong, hmm? i have no idea. I'm just kind of looking at how the CD and floppy are mounted as reference. [17:44] anybody???? [17:44] :( [17:44] Haitham those windows are placed for your own security [17:44] But to secure me from myself? I mean how? [17:44] I'm the only user @ this PC. [17:44] are you an experienced linux user? [17:44] adil - manually add the resolution to your xorg.conf [17:44] Tesssa: You may need to run the alternate install CD. Is yours an old machine? My machine couldnt cope with the graphical installer of the liveCD [17:44] There are waaaaay too many people in this channel for it to be helpful [17:44] Nope, I've been using it for 15 minutes so far. [17:45] gperalta: i'm not sure but I think wubi uses a virtual file system, in which there is probably something wrong~ [17:45] Adi1: I am not sure why X thinks that your VGA output can only do 800x600 but manually adding the resolutions to your xorg.conf should work [17:45] Haitham: until you leave it running and someone else sits down. [17:45] Haitham: is it a laptop? [17:45] Nope, Desktop. [17:45] Haitham: there are some changes that could seriously damage your operating system install, by seeing those password requests, you know that you're about to modify something "important" [17:45] my machinse is a amd64quad desktop not a old one [17:45] i dont wanna recompile the kernel :( why dont ubuntu team do that [17:45] Omen_20: alright.. try /dev/xx /where/to/mount partitiontype defaults 0 0 [17:45] I had the same problem with a computer at work and it turned out that the monitor wasn't properly detected. I switched monitors and it works fine now. [17:45] Haitham: and once you enter your password, it won't ask for it again for some time [17:45] Haitham: located in a secure location with biometric locks and surveillance? [17:46] Yep. [17:46] cxo: Click the System menu at the top, click administration, then click login screen. You can change the settings there. [17:46] Haitham: It's just how Unix works. The 'root' user has all privileges; other accounts - none. ...Anyway, there are simple ways to turn off those passwords requests, but first you need to tell which of the two "Authentication" boxes does it display [17:46] Dmole: This happens since I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 a few hours ago [17:46] Omen_20: then sudo mount -a to check (and don't forget to add a last empty line in fstab) [17:46] bonjour [17:46] hey all [17:46] :*:* [17:46] Mammuth: 'lu [17:46] Adi1, what is the issue? what card are you using? (scrolling up, I can't see any questions about the problem) [17:46] Hmm, Which of the two? [17:46] All my flash suddenly stopped working, why? [17:46] Dmole: This happens since I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 a few hours ago [17:46] Jordan_U ok.. could u pls guide me through dat??? Actly xorg.conf file was not ther in mine... so any was to create that??? [17:46] Didn't notice, let me check something. [17:46] gperalta: bummer maybe file a bug report [17:46] grawity: Was notify-osd in 9.04? [17:47] Haitham: ...ah, sorry. One is displayed by "gksu" -- it has no titlebar, and when it displays, the rest of your screen darkens. [17:47] JonathanEllis1: I think it was. [17:47] my puter runs perfect in 9.04 [17:47] hey all! [17:47] skysong, so for type should i just put xfs? [17:47] adil - xorg.conf is there. it's just hidden [17:47] Omen_20: yes [17:47] omen ??? [17:47] tslak, no, xorg.conf is deprecated, there is a difference [17:47] Haitham: The other is displayed by policykit - looks like a normal window, with a titlebar, can be moved, and so on. [17:47] JonathanEllis1: osd-notify was added in 9.04 specifically. It's been updated in 9.10. [17:47] peterkirn: notify-osd* [17:48] Let me check. [17:48] Haitham: if you really want to remove the password requests, add your user to the /etc/sudoers file [17:48] grawity: Oops, yes, says Kirn Peter. notify-osd. [17:48] ok thanks all [17:48] il chek [17:48] grawity: Hmmm. notify-osd worked fine in 9.04 but on 9.10 it leaves a graphical mess on top of firefox every time it gets invoked [17:48] Haitham, don't edit that file directly [17:48] JonathanEllis1: What happens if you turn off visual effects? [17:48] Add my user to /etc/sudoers file? [17:48] Haitham: yes [17:48] Haitham, run: sudo visudo [17:48] skysong, "mount: mount point /media/Media does not exist" [17:48] to edit that file [17:48] peterkirn: I have removed compiz so I shouldnt have any visual effects [17:49] can anyone help me fix my networking and get it to work on my laptop ? [17:49] im using BCM4311 [17:49] tinivole, true...but it still has to exist or the system won't work [17:49] imean that chip [17:49] FCalderon: Dont you mean add to the sudoers file with NOPASSWD flag? [17:49] Omen_20: you created the folder? Guess not.. sudo mkdir /media/Media [17:49] then retry sudo mount -a [17:49] kexman: whats the problem? [17:49] tslak, wrong again =) [17:49] Haitham: add a line that goes yourusername ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL [17:49] * m0los_ testing [17:49] JonathanEllis1: Ah, I haven't tried it without compiz. That's probably the issue; the animation isn't getting handled right. I'd disable notifications if you want to stick with your current setup. [17:49] reverb: yes, I just posted the line as it should be [17:49] Adi1 did you try add "i915.modeset=0" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX variable in /etc/default/grub; run "sudo update-grub" and restart computer? NO xorg.conf!! [17:49] tslak, if xorg.conf doesn't exist, Xorg "probes" and uses the default / failsafe settings [17:49] resno: well i searched dmesg for net/broad/eth/lan/wlan and returns me nothing [17:50] resno: i cant see none of my network interfaces [17:50] Hmm, "to run" statement means I should open an Terminal? [17:50] tinivole - but doesn't it create a new xorg.conf then? [17:50] hi there [17:50] resno: i installed 904 then upgraded to 9.10 [17:50] peterkirn: Visual effects are turned off. I had to remove compiz as the graphics were totally borked before that [17:50] i just started upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, now it has been stuck for the latest 40min at "fetching file 1826 of 1826", also according to "top" nothing is relly happening, what next? [17:50] skysong, wow it works like a charm now. thanks! [17:50] to all the ubuntu gods, i need help! i cant get my webcam to work, even with cheese! searched the net for answers but found none. [17:50] how can i CD to the archives mounted by archive mounter [17:50] Omen_20: most welcome:) [17:50] and when modifying sudoers file you should always use the visudo command [17:50] tslak, no, at least not by default... there are ways you can get the current used settings to store as a xorg.conf file though. [17:51] Haitham: trust me, you'll be safer leaving ubuntu as it is... [17:51] kexman: ah, ive got my own 9.10 problems... no sound or touch pad. [17:51] vega-: try changing your repos [17:51] reverb: sudo pico and gksudo gedit also get the trick done :) [17:51] Dmole: I don't know what to do [17:51] resno: aaa yes no sound here neither [17:51] I shall do it, but just to get used to it - what do you mean by "Run" - Is it Terminal thingy? [17:51] i tought ubuntu was a plug and play linux :P [17:51] peterkirn: As far as I can see there is no advantage to me staying on Karmic. Think I should probably dump it and go back to Jaunty as that had many less problems. I think Karmic is just not stable enough [17:51] skysong, one question, why does my floppy and cd have a folder named cdrom and then cdrom0? but my Media folder doesnt need a Media0? === mandrak is now known as Guest55952 [17:51] tinivole - interesting...always thought that it took those default settings and created a new xorg.conf so that it didn't have to go through the whole process again [17:51] Haitham: yes [17:51] Dmole: but is it safe to press cancel at this point? [17:51] Hmm, thanks. [17:51] gperalta: is there any reason you can't hit the power button? [17:52] FCalderon: the diffrence is that visudo makes sure that the syntax of the sudoers file is correct when saving so that you dont mess anything up by accident. [17:52] One more thing, what does Ubuntu differ from Linux? [17:52] What is the difference between gksudo and sudo? [17:52] kexman: my guess is something in the upgrade didnt complete [17:52] Omen_20: you folder doesn't need a folder0.. what you mounted (/media/Media) will always mount the /dev/xx assigned to this folder on boot [17:52] Haitham: Ubuntu is a linux distribution [17:52] !linux [17:52] Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux [17:52] JonathanEllis1: gksudo works in the GNOME UI. ;) sudo is command only. [17:52] for people with no sound this might work **might [17:52] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-no-sound-sound-blaster-audigy-after-upgrading-from-ubuntu-9-04-to-9-10.html [17:52] vega-: you are only in the downloading stage right? [17:52] help! cant get webcam to work. looked everywhere on net for answers and found none! [17:52] i'm unable to post a bug report on launchapad [17:52] Dmole: yes [17:52] Dmole: I can do it, but i wanted Ubuntu to do it automatically [17:52] 2 questions: first: i've updated from 904 to 910 now, since then it doesnt know my wireless-card anymore... when i do the hardware-test-stuff it tells me that there is a atheros card - but in the networkmanager-applet it say's there are only my two cable-interfaces... where is ath0 gone??? [17:52] vega-: then it's fine [17:52] JonathanEllis1 gksu is the sudo GUI [17:52] azazel: Any particular problem or error message you get? [17:52] skysong, okiedokie [17:52] JonathanEllis1: I'm really more pleased with updated package support and the newer kernel in Karmic over Jaunty, so that'd be the reason to stick with 9.10. [17:52] can i cd to the archives mounted by archive mounter? [17:52] Thanks, so this means that Ubuntu still has the unique mark of Linux - Which is an Open source OS? [17:53] reverb: good point, I guess I've been messing with *BSD systems for too long [17:53] Haitham: yes [17:53] FCalderon: :) [17:53] peterkirn: But to use either gksudo or sudo you have to type a command from the command line so whats the difference?

[17:54] sticking with 9.10 is ok if you can install it hoping someone can help [17:54] Dmole: ok [17:54] tslak, even in 9.04, the xorg.conf file was bare minimal with just: Option "Configured Device" for each section. The only exception of where an xorg.conf file is needed is with NViDIA/ATi drivers, where they need to be specified manually. (although, disabling the use of vesa should work around that, at least, that is how freebsd does it). [17:54] hm now wonder if it deleted all those already downloaded packages ...

Newer kernel is less of an issue for me than getting the graphics to work properly [17:55] Haitham: just as a side note, being open source isn't the only advantage of linux based distributions... and being open source isn't something that only Linux is, there are other open source operating systems [17:55] got a dv6 sound problem, sound comes frm both the default notebook speaker and headfone wen headfone jacks are plugged in [17:55] anyone help me with my webcam problem please!

[18:25] Trupsalms: Odd, I can resolve us.archive.ubuntu.com without any problems, try replacing your DNS with OpenDNS ones [18:25] Ubuntu 9,.10 has no /boot/grub/menu.lst [18:25] grawity: is irssi in the add/remove ? or do I have to d/l it and install it manually? not on jaunty right now...

I had the same in OpenSuse there i've turned off IPv6 === openweek1 is now known as MastahMindar [18:26] I have universe enabled but can't find the package "partimage" [18:26] can't [18:26] grawity, thanks [18:26] according to packages.ubuntu.com it ought to be there [18:26] biggy back of of wifi [18:26] any ever tried to take their system into single user mode on 9.10? [18:27] ciao [18:27] God bless [18:27] CF: running as root doesn't seem to help [18:27] Pici : http://paste.ubuntu.com/308700/ [18:27] * BA^ used pIRCh the last time I did irc... but that's dead [18:27] everything works fine, just Could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com [18:27] XKB error message upon bootup. Can anyone help? [18:27] CF: doing nslookup on the site before trying to load it does seem to help [18:27] can anyone help me, sound is working fine in all other applications except flash player!!! [18:28] cousin_mario: not included lately in ubuntu. [18:28] BA^: Heh, I still have pIRCH'98 somewhere. And it runs on Wine too. [18:28] arand: any alternative? [18:28] m0smith: Are you running nslookup as a regular user or as a super user? [18:28] arand: I need to write back a partimage file [18:28] FC [18:28] petsounds: Looks like you have a ppa enabled for firefox, which is why you're not seeing the proper version from the repositories. [18:28] 9.10 question, i have a dell laptop where Fn + F2 enables wireless, when disabled i can activate it by typing: ifconfig wlan0 up, but, it doesnt go auto online after that, is there a command for that? [18:28] did you get that response [18:28] FC: regular user [18:28] grawity: i loved pirch cuz i could script the hell out of it. does irssi allow scripting? [18:29] Trupsalms: yes, I still say that you should change your DNS settings, even though everything else seems to resolve just fine. [18:29] Trupsalms: or if you want to "bypass" the resolving issue, add a line to /etc/hosts [18:29] any idea why finger and getpwnam() would return different homedirs? [18:29] BA^: Yeah. Perl :) [18:29] uhm, no 64 bit version, apparently [18:29] anyone know how to get Ubuntu 9.10 into single user mode? [18:29] Trupsalms: with the following data: 91.189.88.135 us.archive.ubuntu.com [18:29] alguien habla español? [18:29] Here is a good one, is it possible to install the same version of ubuntu(intrepid), each in its own partition, and dual boot them??? [18:29] Pici : ok. ill remove it now. then how can i get ff 3.5 back? [18:29] FC piggy backing of wifi, on another computer, windows ics [18:29] jiffe: Is it a local acount (/etc/passwd) or NIS/LDAP? [18:30] I want to run zerofree from single user mode, how do I get it into single user mode? [18:30] Dmole: disabling security.ubuntu.com and archive.canonical.com gets the upgrade going [18:30] Anybody know how to help with an XKB error? [18:30] i just upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 and now gmail wont run in the latest firefox? [18:30] BA^: If you're afraid of Perl, both Xchat and WeeChat support Python too (and a few other languages, which I don't remember) [18:30] petsounds: Then just remove and reinstall the firefox package. [18:30] its in ldap [18:30] Trupsalms: enter the line in /etc/hosts, that way you'll be bypassing any DNS resolution [18:30] cousin_mario: Only available on i386 it seems... [18:30] I have a problem to install exim4 whit smarthost... [18:30] FC how to run the command [18:30] m0smith: I'm thinking but can't seem to find a logic solution to your issue [18:30] single user mode: any ideas? [18:30] grawity: not afraid... just don't know it. but i'm sure i can learn [18:30] Pici : ok. ill give you the results. [18:30] jiffe: And which one of your two commands returns the correct path? [18:30] grawity: it only exists in ldap though, not in the passwd file [18:30] finger does [18:31] jiffe: And... what does getpwnam() return, then? [18:31] crypto_: Maybe reinstalling flash player? I'm not entirely sure why you don't have any sound... as a side note, make sure that no other program is using the sound interface before loading firefox or your browser (just to make sure) [18:31] FC where do i run the command from [18:31] it returns what it used to be in ldap, seems to be cache or something [18:31] cached [18:31] hiiiiiiii ??? [18:31] jiffe: Check if you're running nscd [18:31] FC: conversely, the IRC is working just fine (I am using Empathy on the same box for this conversation) [18:31] anyone know how to get ubuntu 9.10 into single user (maintenance) mode? [18:31] jiffe: IIRC, the command to flush caches was "nscd -i passwd" [18:31] anyone having trouble loading gmail in firefox 3.5.4? [18:31] Trupsalms: open a terminal and enter: echo "91.189.88.135 us.archive.ubuntu.com" >> /etc/hosts [18:32] MacOS_User: Put "single" to the 'kernel' line in grub? [18:32] :p I guess it's a real box; just feels weird -- maybe it's because I didn't build it myself oO [18:32] Trupsalms: it will ask for your password [18:32] FCalderon: No it won't [18:32] anyone know how to get ubuntu 9.10 into single user (maintenance) mode? [18:32] we're running nslcd [18:32] jiffe: nslcd? never heard of that. [18:32] FC would that command auto add the line [18:32] Hey guys. Does anybody know how to force quit OpenOffice.org? I'm trying to do a system update, but it tells me that OO is still running, despite me having no windows open. [18:32] nslcd - local LDAP name service daemon [18:32] grawity: it wont... what? [18:32] how do I do that when I cannot edit /boot/grub/menu.lst which don't exist? [18:33] FCalderon: "echo anything >> /etc/hosts" will only return "Permission denied". [18:33] salut tt le monde [18:33] Anybody have any information about how to fix an XKB error message upon bootup? [18:33] grawity: ok, forgot the "sudo" [18:33] win 23 [18:33] FCalderon: That won't work either, as the redirection (>> /etc/hosts) is processed by your shell, before calling 'sudo'. [18:33] FC/Grawity What would Auto Add the Line I Need [18:33] i have results of xprop -root and gconftool-2 [18:34] grawity: I know to do that, that's why I went looking for /boot/grub/menu.lst, thats how my CentOS is, but it does not exists here [18:34] I just did a find on my entire system [18:34] FCalderon: The easiest way would be... echo "blah blah" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts # note the -a for append [18:34] no menu.lst!!! [18:34] is KpackageKit the same as ubuntu software center/store? [18:34] MacOS_User: Karmic? it uses grub2, grub.conf IIRC. [18:34] MacOS_User: And I wasn't talking about menu.lst [18:34] Trupsalms: grawity is right, I'm used to work as root on BSD systems... [18:34] where is grub.conf? [18:34] cousin_mario: 64bit testing versions present in https://launchpad.net/~dominik-stadler/+archive/ppa/+packages and https://launchpad.net/~futurepilot/+archive/ppa/+packages [18:34] grawity: so an update to ldap requires a process run on the server? [18:34] oh someone else might have been [18:34] grawity: I stand corrected, again, been messing with BSD systems for too long :) [18:34] jiffe: I don't know... neve rused nslcd :| [18:34] Pici : ff is back. thanks for your help :) [18:34] Hey guys. Does anybody know how to force quit OpenOffice.org? I'm trying to do a system update, but it tells me that OO is still running, despite me having no windows open. I'm using Karmic. [18:34] hi [18:34] ok grub.conf [18:34] petsounds: no problem, good to hear its working. [18:34] MacOS_User: I was talking about editing the line directly in boot menu. [18:35] ok [18:35] things were working fine, until i tried to change my keyboard configuration to match my macbook [18:35] MacOS_User: grub allows you to simply press 'e', grub2 should too. [18:35] so use grub.conf to edit yeah? [18:35] * grawity sighs. [18:35] I never get a grub menu [18:35] FC/Grawity I'm Confused now [18:35] in CentOS with even on kernel in /boot I get a menu not here [18:35] Trupsalms: echo "91.189.88.135 us.archive.ubuntu.com" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts [18:35] Here is a good one, is it possible to install the same version of ubuntu(intrepid), each in its own partition, and dual boot them???I aleady have intrepid and hardy installed, i want to upgrade hardy to karmic [18:35] Trupsalms: do as grawity said [18:36] anyone know why gmail is spittin gthis out on javascript error? Error: Permission denied for to get property HTMLDocument.body from are there known problems with compiz/ati drivers and jdk ? Is there a way to fix this ? [18:36] Anyone have a problem of volume un-muting after waking up after hibernating? [18:36] JackRock: do you have it running headless on a server like Alfresco? [18:36] This will tell you where all grub stuff is: dpkg -L grub [18:37] Somebody know about exim4, please is urgently [18:37] MacOS_User: if you don't have a dualboot setup grub2 aint meant to show the menu. [18:37] AlanBell: No, not that I can think off. I don't have any "server" specific version. It's local installation on my dekstop (the same one I'm typing on now). [18:37] how do I set that up? [18:37] or how do I command Ubuntu 9.10 to go into single user mode from the root prompt as well? [18:37] I am using 9.10 final release and It finds my HP Photostatted 2600 and my router but I can not print. I can from A windows desktop with an N wireless adapter. How can I get totally connected and print? [18:38] MacOS_User, Single user mode is a Mac thing [18:38] JackRock: OK, well that was what blocked it for me [18:38] no, its a Unix thing, every Unix has it. [18:38] man init :) [18:38] Hi all, my main menu is messed up after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10. "Places" and "System" are both half the height of all other elements and it's very difficult to mouse over them. Help please! [18:38] MacOS_User: you can press esc on bootup to show the menu I think, or if it was shift... not sure. [18:38] Solaris, AIX, HP-UX all have single user mode (maintenance mode) [18:38] MacOS_User, it's only called "single user mode" on OS X. [18:38] man runlevel [18:38] MacOS_User, Ubuntu, for ex, calls it recovery mode. [18:38] JackRock: you can use "ps aux |grep office" [18:38] FC/Grawity Now will that auto add the command [18:38] plus i get an error message saying that i've encountered a serious kernel problem [18:38] whatever, how do I get to it [18:38] who cares what its called [18:38] Berzerker-: No, it's called "single user mode" in ALL UNIX SYSTEMS -- except Ubuntu, which calls it "recovery mode", but it's still the same single-user mode. [18:38] fission6, just as an FYI (on my non-upgraded, ie clean installed karmic) i'm not having any issues with gmail & firefox. best of luck to you. have you tried moving your ~/.mozilla to .mozilla_backup yet? just something to test. [18:38] <[A]KangB> Hi people, on Ubuntu 9.04, when i push shutdown... it shutdown inmidiatly, but i have upgrade Ubuntu, and now it waits 60 secs. how can i remove that waiting time!? [18:39] !runlevel [18:39] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [18:39] and soffice.bin just crashed [18:39] AlanBell - I get this error: "OpenOffice.org is running right now. A running OpenOffice.org makes extension (de-)registration not possible and it causes problems with (de-)registering components. [18:39] grawity, mmhmm, right, anyway. [18:39] MacOS_User: you can press esc on bootup to show the menu I think, or if it was shift... not sure. [18:39] Please close OpenOffice.org (including an eventually running Quickstarter)." [18:39] * Sneex loves Linux :) [18:39] thank you grawty, the guy is a buffoon [18:39] !upstart [18:39] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.

[18:39] MacOS_User: ...learn nick-completion, okay? [18:39] MacOS_User: Btw, what are you trying to do in that single user mode? [18:39] you mean in recovery mode? [18:40] Hi -. what's the APT option to reinstall HAL withouht removing depnecys ? [18:40] grawity: First, I want to get into single user mode to run zerofree [18:40] hi all. anyone experiencing bad scrolling firefox on youtube or fb under karmic? [18:40] Berzerker-: "recovery mode" is just an newbie-friendly name. Even the grub's option is named "single". [18:40] FC/Grawinty will i have to do anything else after that command [18:40] How does one find the specific process id? And I thought the command was pkill. I'm a newb to linux in general [18:40] the smooth scroll in ff is really bad [18:40] amara [18:40] grawity: also, I want to edit whatever is the "menu.lst" of grub2 [18:40] grawity, right. uh huh. [18:40] JackRock: 'kill' takes a PID, 'pkill' takes a process name. [18:40] skysong... it was the settings in firefox, disabled it in about:config. Never had that before [18:40] Berzerker-: you need to learn another Unix than just Ubuntu, then you will see how silly you are sounding right now. [18:40] hello [18:41] or should is install ati drivers [18:41] Grawity: got it. Makes sense. Problem is that I don't know either in this case. [18:41] MacOS_User, you're the one in here asking for support, don't insult the ones giving you support. [18:41] hello [18:41] Berzerker-: I am not insulting you, I am correcting you.

[18:41] MacOS_User, you called me a buffoon [18:41] blck: cool:) thought you had slow speeds with apt-get.. [18:41] just because I need support does not mean I do not recognize some of what you as wrong and am right about that. [18:41] MacOS_User, I take that as an insult. [18:41] yes [18:41] dynamic [18:41] what's with the fight? [18:41] hello quelqu'un pourrait il me dire s'il y a encore un menu.lst pour grub et ou ?

[18:43] Berzerker, and MacOS_User you can continue your chit-chat just not in this room, thanks! [18:43] my sound does not work, in sound settings, there is no hardware to choose, but aplay -l shows hardware to use [18:43] I did it had no information on it [18:43] there is no xorg.conf i can edit :§ [18:43] I read that [18:43] :§( [18:43] <[A]KangB> arand, no, power mannt. has only 2 tabs [18:43] can somebody could tells me how do I configure grub since I don't see menu.lst? [18:43] how can i edit an inexistant xorg.conf ? [18:43] I am trying to get the same answer opossum_oisif [18:43] opossum_oisif: also se the grub2 factoid^ [18:43] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't work [18:43] yaarh [18:43] opossum_oisif: dont waste your time its not in that doc [18:43] nameless`, are you running nvidia? [18:43] hello , how to remove partitions password on karmic ? [18:43] nameless`: Create your own. If it exists then xorg will honor the settings [18:44] ZykoticK9, no [18:44] Pici, yes but i would like a template [18:44] opossum_oisif, you have to edit a file and put your settings there [18:44] someone else was going to tell me how to get into single user mode so I can run zerofree on my dynamic disk [18:44] ZykoticK9, i run parallel on mac os x snow leopard [18:44] Berzerker-: I'll just say one last thing. Every other distro I've seen calls it "single user" mode. I am not forcing you to call it that - and I expect you to not force others to call it "recovery mode" either. Thanks. [18:44] MacOS_User, /etc/default/grub [18:44] MacOS_User, then sudo update-grub [18:44] MacOS_User: Ok, sorry, so what is the specific settings you're after? [18:44] Pici, i tried X -configure but it fails [18:44] mMezquitale, it doesn't help me a lot [18:44] my sound does not work, in sound settings, there is no hardware to choose, but aplay -l shows hardware to use, how can i get sound settings to recognize my sound hardware? [18:44] Pici, so i want to have a clean xorg.conf i can edit [18:44] opossum_oisif, what are you trying to accomplish? [18:45] grawity, I don't expect you to force me what I can and cannot say, thanks, Pici told us to drop it. [18:45] MacOS_User: I've told you several times to hold down esc or shift on boot to get the grub menu... [18:45] ok, I want to (1) get the menue to come up - I GET NO GRUB MENUE, (2) I want to add an entry for going directly to single user mode [18:45] (3) I want to know why "init 1" wont take me to single user mode anymore [18:45] MacOS_User, the grub menu, once you can access it already has an entry for it. [18:45] mMezquitale, find an equivalent to /boot/grub/menu.lst I am suprised that it disapear but I think I will look in internet [18:45] (4) How do I default the menu to come up absent the "esc" for shift? [18:45] nameless`, if it's ati i can't help. BUT fyi there is a problem/bug with karmic and nvidia settings cause there isn't a proper xorg.conf and the fix is "sudo nvidia-xconfig" which creates a proper xorg (in researching that problem i read that karmic doesn't have an xorg by default, not sure if that's true). good luck though. [18:45] opossum_oisif, the new file is /etc/default/grub [18:45] how do I force the grub menu to always come up [18:46] anyone know how i can disable automounting of a specific device? i want to use gtkam instead of ubuntu mounting it up automaticly [18:46] MacOS_User: Defaulty menu will have that entry as "Recovery mode" [18:46] opossum_oisif, then when you edit it, you run sudo update-grub [18:46] so I dont have to press a key [18:46] ZykoticK9, you don't understand, parallel emul a video card [18:46] Berzerker, oh I prefer that in /etc good [18:46] is there a way in x term to make the it so when i highlight text its copied to the clip board, and when i right click it pastes? [18:46] ZykoticK9, i run ubuntu with parallel [18:46] MacOS_User: did you say you were running ubuntu in vbox? if so, why not go to #vbox and ask there. virtual mahines don't always work the same as a live install. [18:46] yes [18:46] opossum_oisif, like I stated before you have to create a file and put your settings there, grub2 does not use a menu.lst file [18:46] AH! OK [18:46] MacOS_User, did you succeed at fix the resolution to 1280x800 ? [18:46] My laptop seems to crash when i install sun-java6-jdk package? How do I fix this somehow? [18:46] mMezquitale, no, that is wrong, the new file is /etc/default/grub [18:46] yes [18:46] MacOS_User: there is a show_menu boolean in that file Berzerker- mentioned [18:47] which file? [18:47] mMezquitale, hum ok thx for the tip [18:47] /etc/default/grub [18:47] I didnt see him mention a file [18:47] MacOS_User, tell me [18:47] ok [18:47] Berzerker, from what I understand that file is not be edited [18:47] lemme go look at that! [18:47] huh? [18:47] Pici, can you give me a proper xorg.conf ? [18:47] do I edit it or not? [18:47] nameless`: man xorg.conf can get you started creating one from scratch. [18:47] mMezquitale, no, it is to be edited. [18:47] Pici, :) [18:47] you're thinking of grub.cfg [18:47] he right, that wiki says not to edit it [18:47] is there a command for going online after enabling the intel wireless card with 'ifconfig wlan0 up'? [18:48] so where do I edit that boolean and what is the name of it for the menue? [18:48] nameless`: By default xorg will detect your settings, thats why it no longer requires xorg.conf to exist. [18:48] MacOS_User, that file controls when the menu comes up and for how long, etc. [18:48] but someone said not to edit it right? [18:48] akh, just edit the file! [18:48] MacOS_User, incorrectly, yes. [18:48] Berzerker, opossum_oisif the file in "/etc/default/grub" is not to be edited, you can edit it but whatever you save there are not guaranteed to stay there all the time, you have to create your own file with your own settings and place it in "/etc/grub.d" [18:48] sudo and do it! [18:48] Pici, there is no way to tell him "create me a proper xorg.conf with the same option that you are using right now" ? [18:48] huh? [18:48] nameless`: I know of no tool to do that, sorry. [18:48] mMezquitale, that's why you run sudo update-grub, which generates a grub.cfg [18:48] Berzerker, opossum_oisif the file in "/etc/default/grub" is not to be edited, you can edit it but whatever you save there are not guaranteed to stay there all the time, you have to create your own file with your own settings and place it in "/etc/grub.d/" [18:48] MacOS_User: init doesn't run itself, it calls telinit which is a system v compatible type thing; the man page says: Upstart has no notion of runlevels itself, this and the telinit(8) tool are provided to emulate their behaviour. [18:48] !who [18:48] 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 :) [18:48] back in my day, we did everything as root. and root was happy [18:49] MacOS_User, I assure you, the file you want is /etc/default/grub [18:49] Gerbinist, perhaps you need to run dhcp on the device? like "sudo dhclient wlan0" or something? good luck [18:49] mMezquitale, interressant thx! [18:49] I have problem with exim4, some body helpme ? [18:49] Berzerker-: I assure you I will listen to those calling it single user mode. [18:49] opossum_oisif, which brings back the question, why do you want to know that, look at Berzerker 's post [18:49] MacOS_User, There's nothing in the file itself that says you shouldn't ed it [18:49] MacOS_User, your sarcasm is much appreciated also. [18:49] but there is on that wiki! [18:49] thank you [18:50] I have problems with exim4, somebody help me ? [18:50] that wiki says dont edit it! [18:50] MacOS_User: /etc/default/grub is the file to edit YES.-- /boot/grub/grub.cfg is the file you shouldn't edit. [18:50] whats the right way ahead? [18:50] ZykoticK9: nah, it's a static evironment, think is, when activating wireless through Fn + F2 it goes online automatically afterwards [18:50] just edit the file! you shouldn't edit it if you don't know what you're doing, that's all [18:50] MacOS_User: Scroll down and read the rest of the page. [18:50] yes, exactly what I said [18:50] mMezquitale, ok sudo update-grub I will try it [18:50] ok [18:50] I have problems with exim4, somebody help me ? [18:50] MacOS_User, you should not edit it you can however the changes you edit could be overwritten [18:50] Gerbinist, dunno, good luck. [18:50] opossum_oisif, once you edit /etc/default/grub, you run sudo update-grub [18:50] ZykoticK9: k, thx [18:50] BerRMaNyA: Only if you tell us what problems you have. [18:51] ok, this fan is realaly doing my head in, http://pastebin.me/8d3a4337505c62f8cb468d8167162174 which one of these are right?

I just get a white Ubuntu logo on a black screen. 2.6.28 works. [18:51] how to log on to internet for free [18:52] I dont want my changes overwritten, what do I edit to make them permanent? [18:52] hi all [18:52] masteris, what does this have to do with ubuntu? [18:52] MacOS_User, sudo update-grub [18:52] MacOS_User, after you edit it [18:52] MacOS_User, Berzerker, opossum_oisif the file in "/etc/default/grub" is not to be edited, you can edit it but whatever you save there are not guaranteed to stay there all the time, you have to create your own file with your own settings and place it in "/etc/grub.d/" [18:52] MacOS_User: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 documents the options, you want to comment out the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT I think.

[18:53] lol [18:53] I have a problem to configure exim4 with smarthost, i dont know how i get the smarthost server.. [18:53] Hi, I'm trying to install Xubuntu 8.04 (alternate CD) on a laptop. I've tried 3 different burns and downloads, and every time it fails at 6% on "Select and install software". Any suggestions? [18:53] The smarthost is given by ISP? [18:53] I've tried 2 different burners too, and checked the md5sum [18:53] i'm having problems loading ubuntu normally and it seems to be something with the video card/driver. when i use recovery mode to get console access and type 'sudo gdm' everything works fine, anyone experienced that? [18:53] hi, since when in ubuntu one can use the righmost part of the touchpad to do vertical scrolling? [18:53] Kaell: md5sum the ISO, also why 8.04 instead of 9.10? [18:54] hah awesome [18:54] that is, 9.10 [18:54] arand: just hit that page now, 1 sec. [18:54] hi the updating 9.04-> karmic is too slow no? [18:54] mMezquitale: Everything I've heard says you should edit it, where from do you take it one shouldn't? [18:54] I need acpi_osi=\\\" [18:54] kaell...same here... [18:54] alesan, it's in the mouse settings [18:54] Kaell, might be a heat/HDD problem like I had, has the laptop worked recently? [18:54] Berzerker-, since wihch version? [18:54] it's an old laptop, I figure 8.04 will have less bloat, and is an LTS [18:54] alesan, System > Preferences > Mouse [18:54] anybody know how to fix "error activating xkb configuration"? [18:54] btw, can anyone point me to a drupal room> [18:54] alesan, I haven't seen it before karmic, so, but it might have been in jaunty. [18:54] The laptop worked fine with XP SP3 on it. [18:54] wich is the smarthost server out? [18:55] the drupal room is #drupal-support [18:55] n90: might be load on mirrors, might consider setting an optimal mirror before upgrade if possible. [18:55] MacOS_User, you have a dual boot in your mac? [18:55] BerRMaNyA: Do you even know what's a smarthost :| [18:55] are there is games for linux? and what is it? [18:55] I have ubuntu installed on a standalone drive. I have an identical drive that I want to add and then use mdadm to create a RAID1 array. Aside from adding the drive, can mdadm do this on the fly (with the server online)? If so, how? [18:55] Berzerker-, come on, at least 8.02 had it [18:55] I do not recall now if it worked even in 7.04 [18:55] Kaell, have you noticed a recent decrease in performance? [18:55] alesan, 8.04 you mean? [18:55] I have 9.04 and of course it works [18:55] I just bought the laptop. [18:55] yes sorry typo [18:55] alesan, I didn't see it, it may have been in before [18:55] NO [18:55] 8.04 [18:55] virtualbox is like vmware [18:56] BerRMaNyA: No, I won't answer "by mp", whatever that is. [18:56] Knoppix LiveDVD seems to work fine on the laptop. Should I do something with that to test the HD perhaps? [18:56] Ok [18:56] Kaell, why? [18:56] arand, if you can edit it please let us know, I was told not to edit the file when karmic was still in development, I created a file and placed it in "/etc/grub.d" so I can dual boot with jaunty, I will talk to the grub developers about this one, havent kept up on the changes [18:56] masteris: openarena, yofrankie, armagetronad... [18:56] I dunno, people seem to be suggesting it might be a HD problem. [18:56] Kaell, it's a good idea, and try the RAM check thing on the Ubuntu CD [18:56] does anyone know why telinit 1 or init 1 does not work? [18:57] i'm having problems loading ubuntu (9.10) normally and it seems to be something with the video card/driver. when i use recovery mode to get console access and type 'sudo gdm' everything works fine, anyone experienced that?

When update-grub is executed the results are input into the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file."" Seems like the grub.d is for the grub scripts, and the default/grub file is for settings... [19:00] wrapster: Should do, but might want to check before you buy [19:00] ZykoticK9, if i look at X's logs I see a backtrace at the end of 'em [19:00] Randomtime: ok.. thanks [19:00] CF: thanks for the help [19:00] disabling ipv6 fixed the problem [19:00] arand, youre right, Im looking at the file right now, now you can edit it and you have to run "update-grub" once youre done making changes [19:01] Hello!

[19:02] mMezquitale: of course, makes no difference in theory, (and in practice from my experience) [19:02] hi. why has the super keys been disabled in Keyboard Shortcuts on 9.10? [19:02] BlackHawk: I do print Landscape pdf with Evince [19:03] phil_fl: evince, but I think it just opens a gui for cups, so it should happen with every program [19:03] Also, I had to disable to compiz or my machine locked up. this has been a most painful upgrade [19:03] anyone know of a letter by letter search tool [19:03] phil_fl: really? do you need a certain setting?

[19:04] m0smith: Well, I'm downloading the upgrade files to my laptop, so I'll give it a try later [19:04] BlackHawk, evince has a page setup option [19:05] garymaurizi: if you're using firefox, you can set a master password at tools --> options --> secuirty --> use a master password, this encrypts your pasword, and plugs into FF's password manager.

({u,x}splash?) [19:14] is gnome keyring installed with karmic koala by default? [19:14] pk2643532, just install KDE using synaptic or "add/remove" or you can use command line if you want to learn [19:14] How can I get rid of the chooser and make gdm have a proper login window instead? It's not very practical with a list when you have 200+ users. [19:14] ryan__: tar -xvvzf myfile.tar.gz [19:14] ryan__: tar xvf file.tar directory/that/you/want/here [19:14] ok. thanks mMezquitale :) [19:14] Anybody know how to fix "Error activating XKB config?"

[19:16] mbeierl: should the directory end with a / [19:16] Speculator: if that option exists in compiz I have not seen it yet. [19:16] ryan__: no, it does not need to. [19:16] Speculater, i think you're looking for "ring switcher" === Guest59098 is now known as ddcl [19:16] garymaurizi: 'wallet manager'?. I think theres an application that might fit this in Applications>Accessories. I don't have a GUI system in front of me to check the exact name though. I think it may have been called Encryption and Password.

[19:18] thanks everyone. [19:18] Pici:FCalderon: This is nothing like the gnome-keyring & wallet manager in ubuntu 9.04, nor does this look associated at all with gnome-keyring? [19:18] Anybody know how to fix "Error activating XKB config"? [19:19] blkchameel, are you using Mac hardware? [19:20] I've been using popa3d for POP3 email and so far so good. It's lightweight and uses PAM for authentication. I'm looking to switch to IMAP, and so was wondering about a similarly lightweight and easy to configure IMAP server. [19:21] of course Ubuntu comes with Dovecot. [19:21] garymaurizi: Are you perhaps thinking of kwalletmanager ? Thats a KDE application and is not installed by default with Ubuntu. [19:21] My karmic install left me with a sources.list that only points to the cdrom, even after I told it to use universe, multiverse, partner, etc. How do I fix that?

[19:23] WormDrink I think it's bash [19:23] WormDrink: The GUI - GNOME. The terminal - bash. [19:23] FCalderon: yes? why [19:23] WormDrink: Although /bin/sh is linked to dash by default. [19:23] no, when you run /bin/sh [19:23] ah - ok [19:23] Can I install Ubuntu CD image on a DVD? I don't have any virgin CDs right now [19:23] Hi all [19:23] ryan__ you can always open the file from nautilus and "copy" the directory that you want to extract [19:23] WormDrink: "When you run /bin/sh" is not the default one.

[19:26] I don't get it - What is butterfly? [19:26] So, I just updated to 9.10 and noticed that the internal system beep has been replaced by a beep sound coming from the boxes. Is there any way to get the old system beep back (the one coming from your pc, not from the connected boxes/headphones)? Yes, the one that everyone seems to hate so much. [19:27] BerRMaNyA: try in #ubuntu-server [19:27] robertj, the redirect can be done 2& or something. ask in #bash if you don't get an answer here. but check out programs like "tail" for command line output from logs or if you want really facny on your X root window check out "root-tail". good luck [19:27] New to Linux in general, Ubuntu in particular: new 9.1 server install, single OS, ok till Grub install, at which point the install menu loop for that selection till I select no bootloader and then the server won't start after the install.

[19:57] lakis: it should be, unless it's ntfs-hidden, you can tell by running the disk utility from Administration menu [19:57] I just upgraded to Karmic last night, btw.

I just went to 9.10, and here's a funny bug; If I start a video file in totem, the colours channels will be all messe up. Where one is ment to see i.e human skin, there is more of a blue/purple tone.. (No, I'm not trying to watch porn :) ) [20:05] blackfate, how do I boot live cd? (I am a completely newbie to ubuntu..) [20:05] to run disk utility [20:05] hi all, after upgrade to kubunut karmic, no media player displays video (vlc, kaffeine, miro) I do have medibuntu repo & packages [20:05] ugh [20:05] brandon_: try digging around a server with the repo, it might be in there since its small [20:05] sound works though [20:05] BenG92: Also "sudo aptitude install blah blah" - may be easier to remember than apt-get. Or, System -> Administration -> Synaptic, for a graphical way. [20:05] lakis: ubuntu menu - System - Preferences - Disk Utility [20:05] brandon_: you could always pxe boot karmic [20:06] pxe?

[20:06] darlek, same in all of em [20:06] hmm [20:06] bowser: what's "medibuntu" btw?

[20:07] Tartaros: packages with codecs that cannot be distributed by ubuntu [20:07] help please - how to set my internet connection in jaunty? [20:07] blackfate, what if I don't have a live CD? Can I make one on another PC with the latest version of ubuntu? [20:07] gotta go, going to upgrade to 9.10 to see how it goes :) [20:07] bowser: oh, sounds yummy. Where do I get them? [20:07] bye 2 all [20:07] Milligan, sorry I really don't know [20:07] hello, I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. How can I put the icons and graphical improvements from 9.10? [20:07] haha i was going to go to my laptop to find it for him, ah well [20:08] !video | Milligan [20:08] Milligan: 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 [20:08] Bragex9, yes you can [20:08] Milligan, that might help [20:08] Tartaros: you'll find info on medibuntu.org [20:08] darlek, haha, I found the problem; [20:08] !minimal [20:08] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [20:08] Milligan, oh? do share! [20:08] darlek, "What happened is that the colorbalance was changed. Go to the Totem (!) mediaplayer, edit, preferences, second tab, press the button restore default." [20:08] bowser: yeah google told me already, thanks :D [20:08] Blackfate, What about the files that I have on the computer that will not start? Will it be lost? [20:09] darlek, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/308390 [20:09] Milligan, great, good to know! [20:09] Thanks for all your help for everyone who's helped! really good channel :) i'll be back here if i need you again :P [20:09] when is array.org making a kernel for Ubuntu 9.10? or how bout gyachi for karmic?? [20:09] hi! [20:09] Hi all, my main menu is messed up after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10. "Places" and "System" are both half the height of all other elements and it's very difficult to mouse over them. Help please! [20:09] darlek, odd but easily solved problem, luckily. [20:09] Why I don't have the "Permission" to view a Folder called "root" in System Files &/or "Lost&Found" folder? [20:09] Bragex9, no dont worry... everything is safe [20:09] oorah: whats array.org? [20:09] hi [20:09] i guess medibuntu is still needed in karmic, right? [20:09] Milligan, yes I've noticed this with firefox and others, if I use a default profile the software is okay. Seems there is a hiccup in the profile copying or whatever [20:09] bowser: medibuntu is not "needed" in any release. [20:10] blackfate, thanks! I will go make a cd now [20:10] Halitech: because they are owned by root [20:10] it might be wanted by the user. [20:10] I have Ubuntu 9.10 64bit... After about 10 minutes my USB mouse freezes. I've tried other mice it happens just the same. Anyone know how to fix my mouse from freezing? [20:10] LjL: to play some multimedia formats [20:10] Milligan, so if any other programs act weird, look for default resets. Thanks again [20:10] Docteh, its a site that has the installation instructions for a customized kernel, its optimized for intel atom processors mainly for netbooks [20:10] llutz: you answered to someone else :D [20:10] I just installed ubuntu studio. I noticed that the pop up message bubbles are no longer black. It it the same with the normal ubuntu KK? [20:10] llutz, huh? [20:10] ups [20:10] darlek, seems like the default profile setting in totem has fixed the problem for vlc and other players as well.. beats me why, but like you, I will keep the "default settings button trick" at mind. [20:11] bowser: well, which formats are encumbered by parents hasn't changed since last release [20:11] anybody with black screen on shutdown but not on restar o heard of it? [20:11] Haitham: because they are owned by root [20:11] Halitech: sry [20:11] Hey anyone here that can help me with a problem? [20:11] !ssh [20:11] [20:11] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [20:11] Milligan, cool [20:11] I don't get it "owned by root" ? [20:11] Lemons: don't ask if you can ask, ask away [20:11] llutz, np, just had me confused for a second [20:11] Means no-one even the Desktop owner can access them? [20:11] Is it possible to mount ufs volumes under Ubuntu? [20:11] !ask | Lemons [20:12] Lemons: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:12] Haitham: then go read some basics about users and permissions in unixoid-OSes [20:12] I have Ubuntu 9.10 64bit... After about 10 minutes my USB mouse freezes. I've tried other mice it happens just the same. Anyone know how to fix my mouse from freezing? [20:12] I will. [20:12] :) [20:12] Haitham, means the system owns the files, you only own what is in your home folder [20:12] !sudo | Halitech [20:12] Halitech: 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) [20:12] !sudo | Haitham [20:12] Haitham: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

I couldn't fix it so I switched to linux mint :S [20:13] is there a way to fix the bug on the msi wind? screen brightness keeps flickering up and down when i try to change it. i changed dim display to never because thats when it does it and also does it when i try to adjust it [20:13] Another question, where is the old "Windows" directory can be found? In case there is on. [20:14] Haitham: depends entirely on how and where you installed ubuntu [20:14] Im doing my senior project in highschool on operating systems and for my product I built a linux cluster and used it to render some images and did the same with windows. Now I need to do something that helps the community, any idea on something Linux related that I can do that would help the community. I was thinkingi giving away free ubuntu cd's and answering questions and such but apperntly thats not good enough. [20:15] Who here has had issues with 9.10 in regards to X starting up (odd screen flickers) ? [20:15] Lemons: guess it depends on what you're able to do :) === [ZOMB] is now known as [zomb] [20:15] gonna explore irssi another day. but for xchat. how do i instruct xchat to automaticaly do /msg NickServ identify . when i connect to server? [20:15] Well any ideas and i'll tell you if I can do them? [20:15] It was messed up, I think I deleted the so was "C" partition which included windows, but never succeded the "Manual" partitioning method, so I clicked back and it seemed like Windows version was still there, even though I did delete/format many times the same space area, so could it be gone? [20:15] SmnLpz, In the server configuration section you can place your password. [20:15] SmnLpz: You don't... a better way is to add the "Server password" in Network Settings. [20:15] MrDusty, I get it loading twice but it otherwise works. doubles the load time though. Funny enough restarting works faster than shutting down [20:16] can i configure where the pop up messages appear? [20:16] SmnLpz: if you use Empathy or Pidgin they have automatic login with nickserv already built in :) [20:16] darlek, I am not happy with how X is performing, its sluggish, and just doesn't feel right. :( [20:16] SmnLpz: Note - try "Server password" box first. Only if it doesn't work, then try "Nickserv password" [20:16] Lemons: Organize a LUG/Talk/workshop? [20:16] Tartaros: Uhh. _ALL_ IRC clients have that. [20:16] mvalviar: in short no. [20:16] Tartaros: Especially Xchat. [20:16] MrDusty, what video card? [20:17] MrDusty, oh. in my case after it loads everything is fine. [20:17] Halitech, GeForce 9500 GT .. well supported. [20:17] ok then, I never liked xchat for some reason, but so be it :) [20:17] Tartaros: is it yellow again? In jaunty it is black [20:17] MrDusty, did you install the drivers for it? [20:17] Hey grawity I tried that and that links the whole partition, that doesn't work I need to link grub to an actuall 2nd menu.lst file. [20:17] Halitech, Yes. I am using restricted-drivers and configured X using nvidia-settings. [20:18] mvalviar: no idea, last time seen it years ago and it was black and I hated it :) [20:18] gletob: Ah :| I misunderstood what you were trying to do. [20:18] I have been using Linux for a looong time, it's not that I havn't configured correctly. [20:18] hi. i've just updated from 9.04 to 9.1 and i'm having trouble booting in non rescue mode. when booting normally, i see grub, and the kernel begins to boot, but eventually the screen goes black. how can i troubleshoot this? [20:18] Lemons: well can you code? can you draw? can you translate? can you ...? :) [20:18] AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ with 3GB ram, and X seems really clinky.. not smooth... [20:18] I can uh talk very well infront of lots of people [20:19] and it works... server pass :) [20:19] MrDusty, no such issues here [20:19] video[nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9500 GT] @ Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset DRAM Controller] [20:19] hmm odd [20:19] Can anyone help? my CPU keeps saying itss 80% in use, but using top etc nothing shows up as using any CPU?

Any ideas what could be causing this #; [20:20] Lemons: umm... ok :D [20:20] MrDusty: sounds like graphics driver [20:20] i have a very annoying bug it happens on a few apps but when i open or start the app then if i click on the app anywhere it will jump up and then click again and it will jump down making use the app impossible [20:20] MrDusty: yep, graphics driver i'd say too. [20:20] I agree [20:20] revo_, are you doind sudo top? [20:20] Yes [20:20] !contribute | Lemons this might help you get started [20:21] Lemons this might help you get started: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [20:21] Any process management tool says the same [20:21] "nothing" us using all this CPU [20:21] memory stays low, no swapping [20:21] whats the pkg name of openssh server , i've tried openssh,openssh-server,ssh,ssh-server [20:21] alnr, ssh [20:21] !info openssh-server [20:21] openssh-server (source: openssh): secure shell server, an rshd replacement.

[20:22] /away WEBSEARCH [20:22] anyone else have a problem with pidgin not being able to receive files over msn protocol in karmic? [20:23] Ok, admitting my stupid here. How do I change the ridiculous "My Passport" name WD defaulted my USB HD with to something else without a #$!#$ space in it? It auto-mounts as /dev/sdd1 [20:23] gletob: You can use the "configfile" command in your menu.lst ( grub legacy ) or grub.conf ( grub 2 ) [20:23] michael_campbell: DIsk utility? [20:23] alright, this is weird.. [20:23] Where can I find a log of what is printed on the xsplash? [20:24] Tartaros, I'll try that. Thanks. I know I can mount it in VirtualBox and do it in Windows, but then I have to go shower. [20:24] how can I find my hardware in ubuntu what soundcard do I have, how big is my RAM and how mutch memory do I have on my computer??? [20:24] much* [20:25] I've tested gwtpwnam on a machine that is unrelated to the actual user except for the fact that the user is in ldap, getpwnam returns the wrong homedir, finger returns the wrong homedir, and rebooting doesn't solve it [20:25] Matilda: you can use lshw in the command line, its not very pretty though [20:25] Hello, I have a question: On jaunty my OCZ Vertex had a continues write throughput of about 100MB/s. On Karmic I have a write throughput of only 5-10MB/s, why is this, and how can I get it up again? [20:25] grawity: no luck on update, maybe its cuz this vmware appliance points apt to edgy-security main restricted [20:25] Guys, is tere some HP F2400 how to guide? It doesnt work, escpecialy for default [20:25] my "normal" disk does 60MB/s just like on jaunty [20:26] So, I just updated to 9.10 and noticed that the internal system beep has been replaced by a beep sound coming from the boxes. Is there any way to get the old system beep back (the one coming from your pc, not from the connected boxes/headphones)? Yes, the one that everyone seems to hate so much.

[21:00] philh: I can't remove places and system from main menu, they're built in [21:00] philh, other than that it's fine yes [21:00] Tamale: my only other idea would be to try resetting the gnome panels to their default settings [21:00] I am trying to setup a HTPC with a lenovo q700 and ubuntu. I installed lirc to get my remote working, unfortunately its not working, im wondering how i can tell what type of hrdware the receiver is on my pc so i can tell if its even supported by lirc? [21:00] hi, do you know issues with ubuntu and ati 3450? [21:00] !panels | Tamale [21:00] Tamale: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [21:00] ubottu: I've tried that [21:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about I've tried that [21:00] Tamale, are you using a strange gtk theme or anything?

[21:01] hey trism your blurb fixed /my/ problem too :) [21:01] jake_, weird, well, as a workaround you can use get_iplayer, i'd recommend getting it anyway, but i don't have a fix for the issue, sorry === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [21:02] thanks mate. the weird icon highlighting is gone [21:02] sera [21:02] amd_64 running karmic 9.10 dont have any keyboard function in KDM help ?

[21:02] All, my mouse pointer registers clicks from the wrong side of the cursor arrow in 9.10. It's never done this before.

[21:03] remove .firefox [21:03] my indicator applet session now shows my empathy status. i want it to show my pidgin status. how to fix?

[21:04] Hi, I've got a problem with my upgrade -- I'm in a terminal now, and I know that if I CTRL-ALT F7 back, everything will freeze in 1 second. Any suggestions of which logs to check etc? [21:04] there's another pidgin notifier app too that i decided not to install [21:04] * defrysk has no use for emparhy [21:04] empathy is awful. did they consult the userbase before they made the big leap? [21:04] Bracki, open a terminal [21:04] antlers: it should just automatically show the pidgin status (it does for me), although it still shows empathy too...I just added the pidgin tray icon back, much easier [21:04] Bragex9, open a terminal [21:04] Anyone using lirc? I am trying to setup a HTPC with a lenovo q700 and ubuntu. I installed lirc to get my remote working, unfortunately its not working, im wondering how i can tell what type of hrdware the receiver is on my pc so i can tell if its even supported by lirc?

[21:11] Tamale, each time i think it's getting close they decide to move everything around and break stuff [21:11] Audio is having issues on a few applications. None that are in the repos, admittedly. Vendetta Online, which has a native linux client, has garbled audio. It delays in playing, and small bits will replay over and over. It has a lot of distortion(it uses ALSA). Games under WINE(using ALSA) does this too. Youtube videos on firefox are "fine" but has minor distortion, on 9.04 it was present too, turning PCM down fixed it..

But audio is broken in linux native games using ALSA, and wine games, with WINE set to use ALSA. [21:14] flarkin: erm, why do you want to do that?

No I havn't tried disabling acceleration.. will take a look at that now.

[21:22] philh, the GUI seems to have merged everything to be more user friendly by removing options- Options I used quite often.

So ask the question, not ask for help. [21:26] what is another name for aptitude, if there is one, because i have it running and i want to turn it off and i cant find it in system activity.

[21:30] tried booting into dell recovery partition same effect [21:30] Blackfate, I can perhaps just make a backup of all my files and then reinstall ubuntu from the live ubuntu usb? Or is another way? [21:30] hkais: will try :D [21:30] Then your HDD has a problem [21:30] how do i see which partitions are on my drive and their size and locations from cli?

Just for one session [21:35] Need serious help here. I've been looking for an answer to this question for months, and am pretty fed up. I want to know some way to put videos onto my iPod (5th gen, 80GB, black). Already tried Koyote (but I cant figure out how to put videos onto my iPod) and I can't figure out how to put video on my iPod via gtkpod either. All the videos I attempt to put onto my iPod are already in the correct format, and I have a couple converters. [21:35] jrib: what's the quickest wayt to make theswitch? [21:35] m0smith: use sed on your sources.list and run sudo apt-get update [21:35] my update-manager reports not authenticated packages. Anyone here who has a similar problem? [21:35] shoe then wheres the problem? [21:35] thegreyspot: I think when you have to enter your root password you can choose to save it [21:35] anybody talks russian???? [21:36] eTiger13_: I don't know anything about macs, but my wife has asked me to use their own boot manager (boot camp, I think it's called) [21:36] !ru | Lunaticuzzz [21:36] Lunaticuzzz: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [21:36] hkais: If you trust the packages install them anyways [21:36] why have my startup applications been disappearing?? [21:36] kandinsk1, just use a virtual machine [21:36] I don't know. I can put music on my iPod just fine, but videos don't work. I use RythmBox to put music on it eTiger13_ [21:36] kandinsk1: use refit (see the wiki) [21:36] So, on ubuntu 9.10. I used sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio, and audio works.. but I can't seem to get anything relating to the GUI to control it, and that's no good. I don't want pulse audio, I want to use straight ALSA...but even that still seems to show the audio issues I mentioned earlier. [21:36] !macbook | kandinsk1 [21:36] kandinsk1: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [21:36] Nubosal Are you sure? I dont see that option. Is it not in 9.10? [21:36] thanks [21:36] Nubosal: they come in with the update of ubuntu. And why are they unauthenticated? [21:36] Shoe, try windows in a virtual machine [21:36] ? [21:36] Shoe: ipods have, generally speaking, been a bit shaky in linux.. some older models work while some newer models don't.. it might just be that it isn't possible at this time.. you could run virtualbox with windows and itunes [21:36] eTiger13_, http://pastebin.org/50621 <-- I need to add these lines (basically , set the display modes) [21:36] thegreyspot: Wait, I think is not in Ubuntu. Let me see [21:36] eTiger13_: I just realised this is not a #ubuntu question but a #macos question rather [21:37] Shoe, i think you can put the ipod into a usb ddrive mode in itunes [21:37] jrib: apt-get update is doing something [21:37] jrib> thanks [21:37] Shoe: you might also want to send an email or two to apple and let them know how you feel about their support for linux =) [21:37] kandinsk1: the ubuntu wiki will have step by step instructions on installing ubuntu on a mac https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro (click from there)G [21:38] jrib: that did the trick [21:38] jrib thanks [21:38] jrib: any idea why it helped? [21:38] palomer_, there are ways to do this without xorg which hasnt been in ubuntu for awhile [21:38] thegreyspot: No, I dont know [21:38] m0smith: probably some issue with the mirror [21:38] jrib: isn't that executed with user privileges, I wanted root to be executing this. Maybe I miss understood the difference between crontab -e and editing /etc/crontab. [21:38] kandinsk1, still think your best bet is to use a virtual machine since im guessing your wife still wants os x [21:38] windows freak [21:39] jrib: many thanks [21:39] eTiger13_, how?? [21:39] Hello. How do I make a mugshot like a lot of users have on Ubuntu Wiki? [21:39] hkais: I didn't get it to work, but thanks for your help...will try again later ;) [21:39] Just of face with white background? [21:39] I have wine, but when I tried to install iTunes, I made the mistake of trying to install it into my hard drive, not the virtual C:/ Drive, and now it's all messed up. I could get iTunes probably if I could get all the files off of my computer, but now whenever I have a itunes installer on my computer, it only allows me to fix or remove it, and both get errors. Anyway to delete all the files? I have no idea where they all are [21:39] SO then, when 9.04 came out, a lot of people seemed to want an option to downgrade, did that ever come about or am I going to have to put a bit more effort in not using ubuntu 9.10? [21:39] l3dx: what is the error? [21:39] now it's the same, but for libgdk-1.2 [21:39] Bob_Dole: I think downgrading is still unsupported [21:40] Shoe, again i think you have to do it in a virtual machine running windows [21:40] Hello. How do I make a mugshot like a lot of users have on Ubuntu Wiki? [21:40] Just of face with white background? [21:40] What do you mean? [21:40] Whats a good command line browser - Gnome keeps freezing in 9.10 [21:40] penthief: links might works [21:40] Slart, great...-.- [21:40] *work [21:40] Shoe: I tryied to install iTunes with different ways and dont works [21:40] palomer_, try this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [21:40] penthief: w3m [21:40] thanks [21:41] Hi all.

[21:52] Thank you guys for your help! [21:52] anon1_: hello. Would you please change your nick? [21:52] cheater99: what are you running it on? [21:52] the biggest problem is that my trackpad just doesn't work, at all, what ever i do. it did before i updated ubuntu. now it doesn't. [21:52] i've got one little gestion. i need the newest version of busybox on my system. is there any chance to get it via apt? [21:52] hey, how do I install a package in 9.10? I don't see a Install button! [21:53] erUSUL: ok thanks for your help & time , one last thing i cant find what the -k stand for in the man command for e2fsck ? [21:53] this is a samsung x20 with a synaptics trackpad. [21:53] thegreyspot: you can even set it to never ask for your user password if you want that.. that's not very safe though === paultag_ is now known as paultag [21:53] Slart ok i will look for something for gksudo [21:53] anon1_: Tab completion makes it hard to type. May I suggest onon1. [21:53] Sir_Konrad, is it a .deb? did you look for it in Synaptic ? [21:53] shay27: it is there -k When combined with the -c option, any existing bad blocks in the bad blocks list are preserved, and any new bad blocks found by running badblocks(8) will be added to the existing bad blocks list. === anon1_ is now known as onon1 [21:53] hmm, Open Office keeps crashing on a document, and I don't know why, any idea where to start?

( i want get my graphic card work) i have nvidia 9500gt [21:54] hkais: but it doesn't matter right now...I can try installing it using wine later [21:54] Sir_Konrad, are you on a router? [21:54] cheater99: is xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed, are you loading the current kernel and not the one from 9.04? [21:54] is there an windows ubuntu installer....so i can install to a seperate hard drive while im in windows on this hard drive? [21:54] I am trying to figure out why a custom launcher on the gnome panel doesn't seem to do anything. Is there a log file for that I can look at? [21:54] Decessus: yeah. I see a huge software list but when I click them I don't see an Install button! [21:54] onon1: sorry, I can't help you anymore, you type slow and I have to replace a HDD now :) [21:54] onon1: good luck. [21:55] hudnix: maybe ~/.xsession-errors [21:55] Sir_Konrad, what router? [21:55] because i want to decrypt my hard drives over ssh. i set up the busybox with a dropbear script to do that. but i get an error of missing modprobe when i unlock my disks [21:55] hudnix: I don't think there is.. see if you can run the command in a terminal.. you can tell us the command too.. we might be able to spot strange things [21:55] Sir_Konrad, after you select the package you want to install there is an arrow to the left of it [21:55] cheater99: I'd try a usb mouse or ps2 mouse to see if that fizes it [21:55] and i want a busybox with modprobe [21:55] gbear14275, it does, but i don't own one. [21:55] let me try thiebaude [21:55] Nubosal, [21:55] so, that's not a solution.

[21:58] Shoe Well i can open any other program and start to type. Like if i open chrome i can immediately type www.google.com. But if i open terminal i have to click on it first. Does that make sense? [21:58] cheater99: aren't you using 9.10? [21:59] I'd go with 8.10 as its a stable version... I don't think you are in the mood for 9.10 [21:59] I'm liking the person who suggested removing compiz. Someone should make the topic sudo apt-get remove compiz.

[22:03] thegreyspot, I don't have to click [22:03] I would use the lts releases rather than the halfway houses for production... 9.10 for instance changed the way 'mv' works... so that it actually copies all the files and then deletes them instead of flipping a pointer... it took hours to move several gigs...

[22:15] hassanakevazir: English, please [22:15] i mean the hardware drivers dialog recommends version 185 so it should be ok [22:15] cheater99 but i know you can correct your mouse problem if you select the keyboard option in preferences and then use number pad to control mouse. [22:15] jugglerbry, does this happen only when you connect to wireless ? [22:15] but it didnt work, also creating the problem of xp being not recgnised [22:15] libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.7-10ubuntu3) but 2.7-10ubuntu4 is to be installed [22:15] Slart: It takes 2 hours to check my 2TB disk at startup (after 30 mounts) [22:15] yes [22:15] I installed karmic along side of my existing jaunty installation. Now that I've had time to make sure I've gotten all of my files transferred I wold like to delete the old partition - but the old partition is the boot partition (ext3) and karmic is (ext4) - would fdisk or parted allow me to make this a karmic only drive or would you suggest copying all of my files to cd and doing a fresh install? [22:15] Chriz1: after mozilla have released it, I think they are developing 2.6 atm [22:15] i just want to undo step 4 [22:15] Slart, Seems to be, although I dont use fsck that often [22:15] Nubosal, sorry, my key was set to Farsi and didn't notice [22:15] scripted great [22:15] Ok, no problem [22:15] although havent yet tried to connect via lan cable as it's not really possible [22:15] i've just found that [22:15] is there a way to install a lower version?

[22:16] GSF1200S: I'm not sure if it just runs a quick regular default fsck.. I can't really find any good info on it either [22:17] GSF1200S: perhaps it's running some kind of badblocks thing as well [22:17] cheater99 you can then get to the wifi icon :) [22:17] Hi.

[22:19] Then select it [22:19] now i can actually go to sleep ... heh [22:19] zematynnad, what's on the boot partition in relation to karmic? the bootloader? [22:19] 1opm where i am [22:19] Shoe: Then says to select your HDD . Create your virtual HDD [22:19] anyone know how to setup networking between a vista sp2 machine and a ubuntu 9.10, through a standard router, no the router is working fine and is a dhcp server [22:19] Question: How do you resize the boot up splash screen?

[22:21] how do i use vdpau? [22:21] whats the command to check disk size? [22:21] no one? [22:22] RussellAlan: df -h [22:22] aoupi: Boot into the PC, and come and tell us which OS is booted [22:22] I installed ubuntu karmic on my laptop, with a ati radeon mobility hd card. I can't install sun-java6-jdk because that won't let me boot anymore, I need java installed, is there any workaround ? [22:22] Nubosal: blank disc [22:22] Nubosal: nothing on it [22:22] Oh [22:22] is there an easy way to get UNR 9.10 onto a USB stick without usb-creator (I don't have a Ubuntu or Windows system available)? It was easy for 9.04 which came as an image file instead of an iso :\ [22:22] Mmm [22:22] Slart, Im running ext3 on the backup drive, with ext4 on everything else. I need ext3 so that the backup drive is accessible for windows [22:22] I'd recommend to first install Windows [22:22] unop, elspru so lets imagine it worked in 9.04 with samba, now it does not in 9.10, i only see the admin shares ($c) and one shared folder [22:23] Resize the partition to whatever you want in NTFS, and leave the blank space to Ubuntu [22:23] Nubosal: but seems like grub2 will completely forget about windows once ubuntu installs [22:23] GSF1200S: ah.. I see.. seems like a reasonable decision [22:23] so was hoping for some howto, since someone must have done this before [22:23] sd__: first of all [22:23] How do I enable IPv6 on 9.10? My router is IPv6 enabled and active. [22:23] Why does ubuntu create it's own swap when you set the installer to "use empty space" - even if there is a swap avalible?

[22:23] BasketCase, I put the iso on a usb stick with unetbootin and booted it.. then I put in another usb stick and just installed onto that [22:24] GSF1200S: have you looked at this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutoFsck [22:24] unop: http://pastebin.ca/1655559 Karmic is on 6, jaunty is on 1 (primary) [22:24] Hmm, instead of backing up a terabyte drive that is fat32, i could just partition it with a ntfs partition? (point is to transfer files larger then 4gb) [22:24] no [22:24] sd__: i'd google that for future reference [22:24] sd__: please ask your question, don't ask to ask [22:24] sd__: secondly [22:24] Slart: yeah, works for me- just sucks when it hits 30 mounts and im waiting 2 hours to use the OS when its only a backup drive... [22:24] aoupi: No [22:24] i cant get my computer work its tell me tty1 help please [22:24] transmission (torrent client) is good to download mp3 albuns? im getting alot of mp3 files with bug here... maybe deluge better? [22:24] FIrst install windows [22:24] Then Ubuntu [22:24] Slart, no i havent.. lemme take a look [22:24] Thats how worked for me [22:24] GSF1200S: so are you using the ext2 driver for windows? I never found it to be that good... [22:24] sd__: what you have done is that you've overwritten the boot sector [22:25] properz: what's the problem [22:25] hassanakevazir : thanks for that. just tried to boot it again, but froze almost as soon as it loaded. dont think it's wireless related now as i didnt allow it to connect [22:25] Quick Question Everyone: [22:25] Randomtime : i reboot my computer and i get a tty1 message [22:25] how can i prevent the screen from dimming the light after some sec of inactiviti [22:25] losha- its working..

The first one '. script.sh' sources script.sh into the currently running shell, as though you'd typed all the commands in script.sh one by one. The second form runs script.sh in a copy of the shell (a subshell) which then terminates when the script finishes.

If your firefox is crashing and you can reproduce it you should be filing bugs [22:53] jrib: because file roller is already opened so drag and dropping didn't work... i'll try again [22:53] hi [22:53] dj_ you need PAR Files to repair them, if you have PAR files you can use something like quickpar or Par2 [22:53] jrib: It's with 64 bit flash. Also java performance with 64-bit firefox is horrible. [22:53] dj_ available through software center [22:54] alexgee: what are you installing anyway? [22:54] woble: Yea. But I'm always excited to learn a new command that would be very useful [22:54] Trizicus: how did you install flash? [22:54] adobes website, downloaded 64 bit plugin [22:54] Fishscene, you could install htop (sudo apt-get htop) its an easier to read version of top [22:54] jrib: Eclipse PDT from a tar.gz [22:54] the .so and copied to plugins folder? [22:54] woble: no they are 40 rar files, some files are corrupted, however i need to extract the rar files even thought they are some rar files corrupted, the rar file will open and work [22:54] hassanakevazir: it's getting surprisingly worse. cant even click 'applications' or wont let me do anything unless i enter keyring for network manager. as soon as i do this, it freezes, or even before i enter anything. [22:55] Trizicus: I haven't had any problems with it, and I actually think it works better than the 32bit one. But you can install the 32bit one on 64bit firefox if you install flashplugin-nonfree on ubuntu [22:55] Has anyone using chromium found that the extensions bar has disappeared since upgrading to 9.10? [22:55] dj_ its probably a paired archive, you need all 40 parts complete and uncorrupted [22:55] hassanakevazir: I'll reinstall 9.04 and see if the same thing happens, which will be interesting, as 9.04 worked fine before i reinstalled [22:55] woble: Downloading and isntalling now. [22:55] jrib: That still does not fix the java performance in 64 bit [22:55] woble: par files are a separate technology from rar files. Par files help fix corruptions/missing files but are not specific to the rar format. You can use pars with any set of files.... [22:55] kubuntuser didn't work [22:55] Trizicus: what java are you using? [22:55] jrib: Sun [22:55] jugglerbry, was 9.10 a fresh install or an upgrade? [22:55] losha, true but its most commonly used with rar.. something with pirates :) [22:56] Trizicus: are you sure? [22:56] sound fixed [22:56] jrib: Yes [22:56] I have 64 bit os compatible processor and 2 GB RAM, should i install 64 bit ubuntu or 32 bit ? [22:56] woble: no they are 40 rar files, some files are corrupted, however i need to extract the rar files even thought they are some rar files corrupted, the rar file will open and work, but i can not extract them cause iget message corrupted file now i want to extract the files and it must be options Corrupted files can extract out [22:56] Trizicus: how are you measuring performance? [22:56] hassanakevazir: fresh install using the whole of the hard drive [22:56] dj_, the only way to open them is repair them [22:56] jrib: Well in 3d apps by FPS [22:56] dj_, that means redownload the corrupt parts, or repair the corrupt parts [22:56] woble:how to repair them [22:56] dj_: the only thing I know of for rars on linux is the -kb switch (keeps broken extracted files).... [22:57] dj_, with par files, a good release contains par files next to rar files [22:57] Trizicus: it would be great if you could file bugs against it then [22:57] jrib: 32 bit java can excede 60 fps for me. 64 bit openjdk ~ 5 fps and 64-bit sun java about 10 [22:57] does anybody have experience with 8.04, specifically with compiz? [22:57] Hi peoplez!! [22:57] I have written a bash script that configures my Apple keyboard (swaps Apple and Alt keys).

[22:57] dj_, if its a torrent forget about it, redownload the broken parts [22:57] dj_: where did the rars come from? [22:57] for all of yous having sound trouble with 9.10 do these simple steps 1. open terminal 2. type alsamixer [22:57] Trizicus: erm, you don't think it is? [22:57] losha: whats the program name so i can downlodaed [22:57] kubuntuser yes sure after any modify , i restart the daemon [22:57] jugglerbry, hmm, so it has some serious issues out of box, thats pretty bad. you could try to boot into recovery mode. but never mind, if it was a fresh install, then somethings really wrong there [22:57] 3. [SOLUTION] [22:57] Regarding this problem, I found the solution by running alsamixer and toggling the option: [22:57] IEC958 1 [22:57] (ie, going to that option and pressing 'm').

[22:59] jrib: Well I wouldn't think that I should file a bug for 64 bit plugins that are used in 64 bit firefox when mozilla doesn't advise using a 64 bit version of firefox [22:59] I have been looking for answers to the following question, without finding an answer (including, but not limited to Google) [22:59] Hi, I've clean installed Ubuntu 9.10 and when I boot from the GRUB screen I immediately get a blank screen with a flashing cursor at the top left and that's all. I can boot to recovery mode (though it seems to hang a bit during load) and I can type startx and get to a desktop. Though the desktop again hangs a bit and eventually freezes altogether. Do you think this is an issue with the GRUB loader or can anyone suggest anythi [22:59] need_help: then I am not sure what the problem is. I use proftpd :-( [23:00] remoteCTRL1, try ALSA it works the best atm with karmic [23:00] Trizicus: then see if the performance issue exists with another browser I suppose. [23:00] kubuntuser it's ok :) [23:00] what can I do to make 9.10 (Koala) work on my computer without the problem ... initrd too big [23:00] jrib: I'm using 32 bit java atm w/ 32 bit plugins and performance is fine [23:00] jrib: and 32 bit firefox [23:00] sburwood, whats the error? [23:01] sburwood, best way to install is a fresh install [23:01] Skillen, dmesg showing any errors? [23:01] Trizicus: that doesn't really say whether the issue is with firefox or, as is more likely, with the plug-in [23:01] jrib: So then Ubuntu is arch dependant? [23:01] woble: erm... i dindt want to exchangethe whole sound system, its just that i cant find any sound controls... [23:01] remoteCTRL1, using ALSO or Pulse atm? [23:01] Can anyone please tell me they have a fix for the SLOW grub-menu? [23:01] Trizicus: apt can't handle installing different architectures if that's your question [23:01] sburwood: is it a custom kernel? [23:01] Takes 30sec++ to just list my boot alternatives which is kinda crazy. [23:02] jrib: So then why isn't RPM used? [23:02] I did a clean install, though I have one partition that I don't modify (I have bought a hard drive to either recover the info from the partition or to replace it) [23:02] custom? [23:02] Trizicus: because ubuntu uses APT... [23:02] Trizicus: because it's derived from debian, which uses apt/dpkg [23:02] woble: i dunno the dialog that used to be there is gone and i cant seem to find it [23:02] hassanakevazir: Not tried that, i'm quite new to Linux. I've been using 9.04 for a couple of moths but not had any issues. I tried the repair broken packages option and that reports no issues.I should also say that the 9.10 Live CD boots fine and is stable. [23:02] You see, I have a 120 GB hard drive in IDE [23:02] 9.04 Isnt supported anymore, I had ubuntu-desktop removed, and this cant seem to be put back? [23:02] I need help with WINE. Hyrule Magic doesn't want to work. I get ~$ wine: cannot find '/home/lordhawke13/Desktop/HMAGIC.EXE' [23:03] any ideas why kermit takes about 3 seconds to start?

[23:03] Y-Seti: 9.04 IS supported [23:03] remoteCTRL1, run pavucontrol [23:03] jrib: I realize that Ubuntu is derived from Debian. However architectures change, so you would assume that APT would support more than one arch. === jay is now known as Guest92036 [23:03] 50 GB, I want to save - until I know what to do with it [23:03] woble: gnome-volume-control is gone even in the repository and system/preferences/sound is not what it used to be*g* [23:03] sburwood: the only time I've seen 'initrd too big' is when people have build their own kernels. Apparently you haven't done that. Something unusual about your hardware? [23:03] Trizicus: of course it would be nice. Unfortunately, no one has written it [23:03] so tell my why apt-get install ubuntu-desktop isnt working anymore, it comes up as a broken package [23:03] Songbird opens from being minimized (and not highlighted) when switching artists? I'm running Karmic using Songbird from PPA (see http://paste.ubuntu.com/308917/ for my "apt-cache policy songbird") I do have compiz enabled.

[23:07] what i wanna do is map the windows button on my laptop keyboard to display the menu [23:08] nukasl: more info?

[23:09] why would gnome-volume-control all of a sudden be gone? [23:09] especially I'd like to put / on a raid1 [23:09] tc111 xt28 repeating, highly annoying. it may go away when i play music but then starts again when that stops. [23:09] jugglerbry, you said the W word :) [23:09] elmagic: something like: split --bytes=333MB --verbose file.iso [23:09] nukasl: is your 'mic' muted?

[23:16] crazysail it sounds to me like compiz has "swallowed" you mouse click binding [23:16] nukasl: what does 'sudo lspci -vnn | grep audio -i' return from a console? [23:16] yes, keyboard can also be used to navigate [23:16] losha: ok i will check whit i.e. cmp old.iso new.iso when i will bring back iso to orginal state [23:16] sabat: what could i do to fix that?

[23:28] zechs: ok - ~I think (just a guess) what's happening is that your username and password is wrong and when you login using "xterm" it's actually a failsafe session [23:28] no idea ? :( [23:28] can anyone help me? Though I can see my Windows 7 shared drive on the network, from ubuntu, I cannot access the folder. I keep getting an error: "unable to mount.........failed to retrieve share files from server". My windows and ubuntu firewalls are off. Does anybody have any ideas? [23:28] zechs: when you login via xterm type "id" and show me the results [23:28] ikonia, I don't play with DNS, I let the ISP manage it unless they fail at life.

I'm considering to change the distro to something faster. what is the next fast distro that is user friendly? [23:29] boscop: fast distro is nonsese, it's all subjective, and offtopic for this room [23:29] how do I disable pulseaudio and use alsa alone? [23:29] boscop: the most common cause for a "slow" distro is the incorrect Xorg graphiccs config/drivers [23:29] heloo i need install mi wriless in ubuntu 9.10, but ndiswrapper don't recognize the harware [23:29] boscop : maybe u want to recompile the server in order to include what u need and to make it faster [23:29] could someone help me [23:29] ikonia: alright. I could just open up a new terminal and do it correct? [23:29] zechs: sure [23:29] boscop, fast doing what? [23:29] ikonia: I thought this was a reason. but how do I know which ones are right and which are wrong?

You can re-install grub without re-installing Ubuntu [23:37] lmentop: I'm not sure if I want to switch Gnome->xfce. Ubuntu does a lot of development to make Gnome useful and well integrated. [23:38] boscop: interesting, not what I was expecting [23:38] JoshuaP0x1: one sec i think i had to make some config file changes [23:38] maurer_: I dual boot - one partition is 32bit, one is 64bit, so I can check occasionally whether flash is working in 64bit, but it usually isn't. occasionally it's fine [23:38] myk_robinson, because your monitor is supplying an incorrect/broken EDID [23:38] i want to know why i can't show the .dat video files from a vcd ?

[23:39] zechs: lspci [23:39] The grub 2 wiki does nothing to help me. Bootloaders are a part of linux I have never touched before [23:39] BattlePope: I would try a new Image. One that is made for that type of install. [23:39] klabezo: I haven't watched a vcd in years, but I used to play them with mplayer.... [23:39] boscop- htop and see whats eating it up [23:39] Ok, i'm back. I had a bit of trouble, pastebinit couldn't write so I dumped it to a text file. When I booted to desktop it wouldn't mount any drives or network folder or usb. Seems to be a problem with my website as well so I've got no where to put the txt file. Can I send it through this? [23:39] boscop: do you know how to open a terminal ? [23:39] maurer_: You can use the PAE kernel for 4+gig of ram on 32 bit [23:39] does anyone know if ubuntu netbook remix has any other desktop modes? [23:39] hi all [23:39] ikonia: yes. should I run top? [23:39] anyone using 9.10 netbook remix spotted graphical glitches? [23:40] JoshuaP0x1: it looks like i added 'socket options = TCP_NODELAY' to smb.conf, which i think is a speed increase... [23:40] boscop: first thing is move the xterm around a bit, does your cpu spike ? [23:40] not really [23:40] I've just installed 9.10 but it doesn't boot with "grub error2 in the stage2" ubuntu is on the /dev/sdb2 partition [23:40] Jordan_U: Maybe I'm missing something, but I thought PAE just allowed process totals above 4 GB, not a single process using that much? [23:40] what is option option-211 "tftp" [23:40] vigo: any ideas? [23:40] Skillen: do *not* send lots of text to the main irc channel... [23:40] i havent tried everything yet [23:40] Amigadude, on what netboot? [23:40] Intel Corporation 82845G/GL [23:40] just the layout of the menus is off [23:40] does UNR have KDE built in or just gnome? [23:40] what is option option-211 "tftp" in ltsp [23:40] bjsnider: a little hand holding may be required :) can you point me to good documentation on doing this? [23:40] How do I make xchat stop forgetting my favourite channels and my settings ? [23:40] yes losha but in my ubuntu system i have some msg said that the system can;t read from the disk but i can play them in other systems like windows XP [23:40] vigo: Thank you, I didn't see your comment above. Where can I find an image like that? [23:40] not driver glitches more theme errors [23:40] myk_robinson, just google it and you'll find lots of info [23:40] Dooms-day: just gnome, kde has their own netbook version [23:40] maurer_: That's true, I came in late so I may have missed your exact requirements [23:40] hassanakevazir- network settings edit [23:41] hey guys, just installed ubuntu for the first time ever :) im a windows noob :( [23:41] BattlePope: Looking for it now,,one moment please. [23:41] Can I install GRUb 2 from the LiveCD? [23:41] Is anyone eles having problems with network manager, i can see my router and it just stays on connect and eventually says " network disconnected " [23:41] eh [23:41] Jordan_U: It seems stuck in Grub. The furthest I got was to a black screen that only said GRUB. [23:41] ikonia, rictec: better to recommend Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS or Xubuntu 8.04.3 or 9.10 than bicker... support is the point here, correct? [23:41] losha: I won't I meant can I send someone the txt file? [23:41] NightHawk877: Yes [23:41] ikonia: not much [23:41] btakita: What version of Ubuntu? [23:41] tc111, that was what i was trying to say [23:41] boscop: ok, so now check top as you suggested see what shows up as eating cpu [23:41] sudo modprobe -r b44 ssb ndiswrapper [23:41] sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [23:41] sudo modprobe b44 [23:41] rictec: Aspire One [23:41] ya.. xubuntu should do well for boscop [23:41] somebody good on ltsp? [23:41] Jordan_U: I'm basically just trying to get flash working without giving up 64-bit--I'm pretty sure it's not adobe's flash player because that was working previously and they didn't update it... [23:41] fix to broadcom net problem in 9.10 [23:41] Skillen: if someone wants it, I guess so. Pastebin would be best though. Please *don't* send it to me... [23:41] yes losha but in my ubuntu system i have some msg said that the system can;t read from the disk but i can play them in other systems like windows XP [23:41] UNR didnt set up grub correctly, so u have to boot in like backtrack or something and run grub-install [23:41] JoshuaP0x1: hmm i dont see any other changes [23:42] ikonia: wait. I was looking at the wrong numbers. it's at 100% while moving!! [23:42] Sa jacys polacy [23:42] then make ur own menu.lst cause it doesnt have one [23:42] boscop: ahhh disapointing [23:42] ?? [23:42] Kexman was that directed too me? [23:42] boscop: what cpu is in your machine ? [23:42] hassanakevazir, #xchat channel might be able to help you [23:42] Amigadude, my is a 1000H [23:42] Ikonia: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL [23:42] Xcell: what else is different in xubuntu than what I have now (ubuntu with xfce)? [23:42] zechs: another intel [23:42] vigo: sure :) [23:42] Jordan_U: Also because Opera works properly, which makes me think that the flash is not at fault, but something in firefox? [23:42] Jordan_U: I'm using refit [23:42] zechs: have you tried setting your desktop resolution with the display tool yet ? [23:42] OK I've uploaded the text file to a hosting site. It's at http://www.datafilehost.com/download-c051021c.html [23:42] plz help me with ltsp [23:43] Just joined [23:43] ikonia: how do I find this out? [23:43] yeah, but this was before when I was having my original issue. I was unable to see the mouse pointer [23:43] Jordan_U: 9.10 Using Grub2 I suppose [23:43] boscop, uses less system resources [23:43] rictec: just the text under the last item in the game section is cut in half, and runs over the container [23:43] boscop: cat /proc/cpuinfo [23:43] boscop: but check with top what process is hogging the cpu [23:43] !info linux-generic-pae | maurer_ [23:43] maurer_: linux-generic-pae (source: linux-meta): Complete Generic Linux kernel.

My laptop has felt very hot during these times, so it could be due to overheating. Someone I talked to also mentioned scaling issues, since I have no overheating problems in Vista on the same computer doing much more intensive work. Any ideas?

I opened the required port (for patching AcceptEX to Wine) . [23:44] boscop: what does top show as the cpu hog ? [23:44] whats the ideal flash drive size for a backtrack 4 install? [23:44] Haitham: erm, what did you think it would do? [23:44] Haitham: you need to load the patch file into patch. use patch -p1 < file.diff [23:44] whats the fix for this insanely annoying ctrl+c issue? it doesn't work in the terminal [23:45] ikonia: firefox oscillates between 17% and 30% and then comes Xorg with 8% [23:45] btakita: Try asking in #grub, you may also want to try out grub2 for EFI [23:45] ikonia: pastebin reported that it couldn't write the file [23:45] Skillen: pardon ?

[23:45] how do I change application icons on the desktop? [23:45] Dooms_day, no help for back-track here ask in #remote-exploit [23:45] I can't boot into Ubuntu [23:45] ikonia: the 100% is only for when moving the xterm window!

[23:46] ikonia: Sorry you said I should use pastebinit but it said it couldn't write the file. Sorry I typed it wrong above. [23:46] boscop: when you move the xterm window around what uses the resource in top ? [23:46] ikonia: then pulseaudio and xchat [23:46] vigo: isn't that for installing onto USB drives? [23:46] Whenever I start up Ubuntu, the startup sound is always jumpy. I connect to some windows shares before I boot up, and I know that slows it down a bit. How can I fix the jumpy startup sound? [23:46] Skillen: I didn't say anything about pastebin [23:46] i didn't have these automatic shutdown problems with ubuntu 8.10 [23:46] ikonia: i changed it again and im going to restart because I didn't notice any immediate changes.

[23:46] NightHawk877: No, from the installed system. You can do it from the liveCD but it's more work [23:46] ikonia: Xorg! [23:46] rather than actual resource issues [23:47] BattlePope: That is for installing FROM usb. [23:47] Trizicus: right click, properties then click the icon picture or drag and drop your icon on that from file manager [23:47] I can't live like this, its literally making me cry [23:47] Jordan_U: grub2 for efi? wow [23:47] Jordan_U I cannot boot into Ubuntu [23:47] Amigadude, the last icon in games is cut on mine too [23:47] vigo: OK.

[23:48] Flannel: yes, ctrl+c should break like it ALWAYS does in every terminal ever. [23:48] andre_: What are you running? [23:48] rictec: cool, at least it's not a problem here :) [23:48] oh rofl didn't know clicking on the icon would allow me to change it [23:48] Flannel: 9.10, just upgraded last night. [23:49] VCoolio: Thanks rofl [23:49] andre_: right, but what program? [23:49] boscop: in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf you need to add a line [23:49] Walk me through it [23:49] andre_: in irssi, for instance, ctrl-c is what you use to do color stuffs. [23:49] Dooms_day: what type and size of drive?

[23:49] BattlePope: Just seems like is a bad or corrupted Image somehow, download the LiveCD or the USB and check the Hash. [23:49] I notice it does that for other programs too [23:49] Trizicus: no problem; drag and drop your icon on there works too [23:49] ikonia: ok. have it [23:49] Is there some setting i need to hcange?

It works fine in windows though :( [23:50] boscop: cool, so under that line add the word Driver [tab] "Intel" [23:50] Trizicus: just usual ubuntu howtos I think, this is one of those little tricks you need to have seen once [23:50] Flannel, do you know of another way ? I am only wanting the list. (i didn't save the .debs) [23:51] NightHawk877: Ok, can you run the command "blkid" in a terminal and give the output to me via pastebin? [23:51] andre_: If you're at a bash prompt, ctrl-c should do nothing. What's running that you're wanting to stop? [23:51] hello can someone help me with ltsp? plz plz plz [23:51] boscop: so that should be Driver (no quotes) - hit tab, then "Intel" [23:51] !pastebin | NightHawk877 [23:51] NightHawk877: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[23:51] VCoolio: Any website that has a list of these tricks lol [23:51] Sireorion_: what specifically about ltsp do you need help with? [23:51] Flannel: that's not true, ctrl+c at a bash prompt should give you a new prompt. I'm not trying to kill anything, I've been using ubuntu since hoary, I know how it should work, it changed in 9.10 and its terrible. [23:51] ikonia: yes, but the new line is not aligned with the one above [23:51] hi [23:51] ikonia: i.e. the "Intel" part [23:51] Dooms_day: alignment doesn't matter, don't worry [23:51] oops [23:52] Can anyone look at my dmesg output txt file please? The issue I had was when I boot to 9.10 from the GRUB screen I immediately get a blank screen with a flashing white cursor in the top left. I couldn't use pastebinit because it wouldn't write the file. The text file is from recovery mode and is at http://www.datafilehost.com/download-c051021c.html [23:52] boscop: sorry that was for you === john is now known as FewClues [23:52] ikonia: well I got it to display normally again haha. Now if I could just bother you once more for help with my audio. thank you so much by the way for the help [23:52] Sireorion_: it is possible that few or no people here knowhow to work with ltsp [23:52] I tried #Openoffice.org but noone in there. How can I import a .csv and have the values read as numbers, not text (with the leading apostrophe) [23:52] ikonia: ok [23:52] flannel, there is another way that is way simpler, but I don't think I am going to find it soon enough. thank you. also, the command I am thinking of is like 5 words long. [23:52] ikonia: and now? [23:52] Dooms_day: my true 'netbook' has a 4GB SSD which i find is adequate for my jaunty nbr [23:52] zechs: no problem, I'm not massive on pulse audio to be honest, but I'll try (plus there are some sharp guys in here that are good with pulse) [23:52] * Take0n goodnight folks [23:52] gonzoism: You mean with --get-selections? that's deprecated [23:52] boscop: restart your X server - lets see if that helps [23:53] Flannel, 5 words or 7 words or something. I don't think it is --get selections. If I do find it, I'll let you know. it is very handy. :) thanks again. [23:53] ikonia: oh really? who should I ask? or should I generally post the question? [23:53] Trizicus: http://www.howtogeek.com/tag/linux/#ubuntu-tips is something, google for ubuntu tricks [23:53] just ask in general [23:53] ikonia: how?

[23:54] pipboy: Whatever isn't in a repository needs to be compiled [23:55] Jordan_U: So stay on 9.04 for now? [23:55] btakita: I would install karmic and then when the install is done install grub legacy while still in the LiveCD [23:55] Guys I installed ubuntu [23:55] Sireorion_: what is option-221 "tftp" supposed to do?
