[00:01] Concretesledge_, Under what circumstances does this happen? Also, it's not clear to me what you mean by "freezing" together with "can't see icons". I generally think of freezing as being a state in which the system is completely unresponsive but the screen still displays whatever it was.

It's so that I can video call [00:03] Nighthawk877: That should prompt you to select a drive to install grub to. There should be only one option, press space bar to select in then enter to install.

[00:03] Concretesledge_, Let me give you a general debugging tip. If something breaks some of the time, it's harder to fix than if it breaks all the time. If you can't figure out what you're doing when you have trouble, it will be hard to fix. Suggest you try doing the same thing after each reboot. Does the problem persist? Pay very careful attention to exactly what you were doing when your system failed. [00:03] Flannel, I think the command you gave me was the one I was thinking of. Thanks, for your patience. I'd like to ask. I have two jaunty boxes. I want to make them the same. (except for /home/user) That !cloning is the way I want to do it, right ? [00:03] Amigadude: so i need to disable what ? b43 ?

[00:04] boscop, what video card is it? [00:04] Thank you so much Jordan. You saved me from having to reinstall [00:04] Concretesledge_, Stubborn debugging issues often require the opening of a paper notebook in which you record exactly what you do and exactly what happens, together with what you think might be going on.

[00:30] welcome to ubuntu [00:30] which allowed me to get to terminal to run nautilus and gnome panel, but its all jahnky [00:30] Scunizi: Thank you.

[00:32] rictec: he writes "If you are using Kubuntu or a custom distribution of Ubuntu that does not use the GNOME Display Manager (GDM), you need to execute the fixmtrr.sh script each time X (re)starts. Therefore, executing this script in your rc.local script is not sufficient." [00:32] ironman, Dunno if this will help but: Try whatever key combo (Alt-F2?) you have setup to bring up a Terminal window, then type 'gnome-panel'. [00:32] |Dracul|, i downloaded it a day or so ago and ended up with a truncated iso, haven't tried again yet [00:32] rictec: I'm using xfce [00:32] Folks I got no sound not nvidia acelleration can I have a hand? like I got a sound card ac97 which sound driver should I use? [00:32] <|Dracul|> I made a usb boot stick for with 9.04 and it worked great, I downloaded 9.10 to test it and it won't boot, I get the logo then line after line of errors [00:32] I'm trying to use the gnome alsamixer but it isn't really working. the screen is blank and when I select the option for the audiocard it just stops working [00:32] Scunizi yes I have separate /home. Will my installed program in /home be okay (i.e virtualbox) [00:32] <|Dracul|> I have to shut the machine off to make it stop [00:32] boscop, try that script maybe it solve the problem [00:33] Frederick, that's the kind of thing that normally just works, sound-wise [00:33] ubuntu is basic why all here using ubuntu ? use kubuntu !! [00:33] thanks xiong, i did that but its not permanent [00:33] after upgrading to karmic, my fonts in certain applications (e.g. skype) have lost all antialiasing - any ideas? [00:33] rictec: he says it should be started whenever x starts [00:33] |Dracul|, and the error is? [00:33] hey no body tell me something?? [00:33] ubuntu is basic why all here using ubuntu ? use kubuntu !! [00:33] boscop, as i search you are not alone with that problem [00:33] choechimza_15, tell you what? [00:33] Scunizi: I am totally ok with vmware if its the lesser of the two evils...I just wanna be able to run windows through a virtual in case it gets boogered up, I can just restore original file [00:33] nothing [00:33] xtype stop that.. we can decide for ourselves [00:33] greetings... i am trying to manually create an xsession in ubuntu 9.10. i have the .desktop file but can anyone tell me where to set the default session (like /etc/gdm.conf-custom in 9.04)? [00:33] never mind [00:33] Sorry, ironman, didn't see that in the scrollback -- busy chan. [00:33] <|Dracul|> I can't read it cuz it is going so fast its like a blur, but I did catch "unable to write" [00:33] is there any one can told me what is the ubuntu cloud ? [00:33] boscop, that is a pain to do i think [00:33] so just slapped 9.10 on my 9.04 install. Went to do the first reboot, all excited to see what was going to happen aaaand.... [00:34] 86user : i just try to understand... [00:34] whats the diffeerent [00:34] (filesystem checks are in process...) [00:34] mirc-drifter: I can give you a CD image to test grub2's usb keyboard support with if you want to try it before upgrading [00:34] yeah, it just hit its regular filesystem check milestone i think. Just unlucky, hopefully. [00:34] xtyper its kde based versus gnome based === Guest92036 is now known as jaybinks [00:34] boscop you will have to ctrl+al+del run the script anda start x [00:34] --a [00:34] but gnome is ugly [00:35] SmileyChris: I had the same problem. I ended up doing a completely fresh install, and now all is good. The upgrade from 9.04 also didn't have all the thing that 9.10 should have ...the the Software Centre. It's not necessarily an answer for you though .... [00:35] Whenever i try to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-farsight it says... The following packages have unresolved dependencies.

[00:35] gnome is not ugly [00:35] nothing wrong with gnome xtyper [00:35] I am using ubuntu 9.04, surely there is a way to anable USB keyboard support without installing, grub2, anyone know how to please? [00:35] klbezo : give me a picture with gnome a beauty . [00:35] UBlondie1: thanks for the response (although that's not exactly what i want to do ;)) [00:35] you can do evry thing in gnome [00:35] SHIT [00:35] xtyper: gnome isn't all bad, KDE reminds me too much of those unmentionables....lol [00:35] and ctrl+alt+f1 them stop the xserver? [00:36] as kde [00:36] mirc-drifter: I'm using a usb keyboard and didn't have to do anything [00:36] xtyper, gnome can be customize to be beautiful [00:36] devindt-route : customize to be kde , why all this if you can using a beauty kde ? [00:36] gnome is my pref by far [00:36] UBlondie1: did you perchance change your font settings in Jaunty (/etc/fontsn/conf.d)? I know i did [00:36] klabezo, Cloud computing? [00:36] SmileyChris: I know ...I didn't either ...but it was worth it in the end. Have you got the MSTTcorefonts installed? ....have you tried adjusting fonts in the System > Appearance settings maybe? [00:36] hey tell me something i can't speak English with perfect [00:36] I'm looking to solve what should be a simple problem with xstartup - anyone know how to get .Xstartup to work in ubuntu? [00:36] Hello does anyone know how to setup an remote syslog server? [00:37] no, you can use gtk themes [00:37] UBlondie1: it's only qt apps, not everything [00:37] yes what is the ubuntu clud ? [00:37] mirc-drifter: I am fairly sure there isn't, you can switch to windows by running "sudo grub-reboot " where number is the title number for windows to boot once into windows [00:37] its so good to see XMMS2 returning to the repos ^_^ [00:37] yes what is the ubuntu cloud ? [00:37] xtyper, because kde has a history of sucking [00:37] tell me something i can't speak English with perfect [00:37] SmileyChris: no, I don't think I did ...but I did play around with a lot of things .... :/ [00:37] aaaa [00:37] Whenever i try to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-farsight it says...

[00:37] hello, im trying to play a game (http://www.candystand.com/play/straight-pool-mp#) and it won't install the plugin on ubuntu. does anyone know why this might be? works on xp [00:37] polandchris, you should look for a syslog-ng howto. [00:37] when i press WinKey+D it wont go to "Show Dekstop" how i can fix it ? [00:37] i peronally dont like kde, its too beautiful for the naked eyes :) [00:37] how do i change protocol in lstp to tftp plz help [00:37] n8tuser: I did that awhile ago yes [00:38] gnome is safe and stable [00:38] n8tuser: but I could use some help [00:38] SmileyChris: that's why I was happy to do fresh install of 9.10 .... get all back to scratch again. I had no idea of what I might have messed up!?? :/ [00:38] kibezo : windows 7 is safe [00:38] boscop, i mean go to tty1 stop xserver run the script and start xserver [00:38] polandchris-> lets see where you are getting stuck.. what errors if any? [00:38] i have never use win7 [00:38] rictec: ok I followed the instructions until the end of the basic config. do I need to reboot now? [00:38] when i press WinKey+D it wont go to "Show Dekstop" how i can fix it ? [00:38] boscop, yes [00:38] since i come to linux i have never use any windows [00:38] n8tuser: can we talk about it private? [00:39] is there a way to reset your /etc/fonts/conf.d to default, anyone? [00:39] polandchris-> nope, here in the main is okay, so that if i mis quote, someone can easily correct me [00:39] xtyper: System-> Prefs -> Keyboard Shortz [00:39] rictec: do I need to run this script after rebooting? [00:39] heath|home : thanks [00:39] how do i change protocol in lstp to tftp plz help [00:39] Is it possible to prevent a mounted drive from showing on the desktop in ubuntu? [00:40] boscop, you problably do [00:40] Bilz, you need shockwave, which adobe don't support any more and isn't available for windows, there's codeweaver's crossover office, which can make such things work, but it's simply not worth the trouble, apt-get install foobillard instead [00:40] linux learn me that every thing can be done [00:40] compiz fusion work with kde 4.3 ? [00:40] toubab-> mount it manually [00:40] sorry, that should be isn't available for linux, Bilz [00:40] n8tuser: Ok... so first of all I have a Freenas server that is capable of sending syslogs to an remote server. I would like to do this because then I can actually check what is happening with my server from my Desktop machine [00:40] thanks philh [00:40] mirc-drifter: Would you like an iso to test with? [00:40] hello [00:41] Alright, I think it was this channel I was actually getting help in... But I'm having trouble setting my resolution. [00:41] xtyper: Yes [00:41] I have some problems with playing flash videos in firefox [00:41] Anyone familiar enough with the issue to help me fix it? [00:41] sometimes, the buttons stop responding [00:41] polandchris-> okay, both ends have to have an ip address, and the receiving end must accept the incoming syslogd [00:41] xtyper: you know whine i use linux for the 1st time i like kde but now i like gnome [00:41] toubab, want to remove the icon from the desktop? [00:41] which means sometimes, I can't start or pause a video [00:41] klabezo, I'm not sure what you're asking. "Cloud computing", in general, is (IMO) just the latest buzzword on one side of the centralization/distribution war. [00:41] quite annoying, and seems the only fix is reloading the page [00:42] * cxo has the same problem as Wolfcastle [00:42] n8tuser: yes [00:42] hu [00:42] hassankevazir: the GNOME alsamixer doesn't work [00:42] thank you xiong any way i will try to read more about [00:42] sup peeps - ive got some issues with compiz keybindings, is this a known issue or how can i resolve? [00:42] klabezo, If you're a typical home/home-office desktop user, you're not likely to want to buy in heavily to cloud. [00:42] i need help setting a pptpd server [00:42] Wolfcastle, Quick fix. Right click somewhere in the flash, and then you'll get left click back [00:42] GNOME = easier , KDE = beauty . thats the rules [00:42] i think i am not far to succeed but i keep having some problems [00:42] polandchris-> tell syslogd to listen for remote messages [00:42] HOLY COW [00:43] hey all, i can't upgrade because of ffado-mixer-qt4 is causing dependency problems... can anyone help me? [00:43] GNOME = simplified, KDE = convoluted [00:43] xtyper: That is your belief. But is it off topic for this channel, so let's please stop this discussion now. [00:43] xtyper, how long have you been using kde? it has bee absolutely pig ugly for years, it's looking borderline ok now, but i'm still not keen [00:43] no kde = the best for windows background [00:43] tech-mike: What issue? It might be easier to ask in #compiz [00:43] 9.10 boots and shuts down faster than I have EVER SEEN! [00:43] n8tuser: could I do that in /etc/syslog.conf? [00:43] someone can give me a screen shot a gnome - customized ? [00:43] soreau: then i shall - thx [00:43] polandchris-> yes. [00:43] cxo: haha ...agreed (about KDE) ...does look nice, but jeez it takes some work !! [00:44] Need some help installing Floola. I tried putting 'sudo apt-get install libstdc++5' into the terminal, but it gave me this error: 'E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [00:44] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [00:44] ' [00:44] i will send you a screen shot for my friend zain [00:44] anybody know of any media players that have ipod support in linux besides the obvious? [00:44] Shoe: You have another package manager (for example Synaptic or Update Manager) running. [00:44] ncfi1013_: Rhythmbox, gtkpod, Amarok... [00:44] Banshee... [00:44] Oh, ok, thank you [00:45] Shoe: Close that, and apt-get should work. [00:45] xbmc [00:45] ncfi1013_: Exaile? [00:45] something very odd, there should be a game in the box at this site, I see 'error, click for detail' , when I do click on it , I get logged out of the session, twice now, nothing else seems to go wrong, any explanation?? the site is > http://ishi.blog2.fc2.com/blog-entry-180.html [00:45] it is wgrant, thank you! [00:45] cxo: doesn't work I'm afraid [00:45] Shoe: Excellent. [00:45] i'm having some issues with my window manager in 9.10, it seems to lock up and nothing responds (clicks/keyboard input don't work) but mouse movement works [00:45] the keyboard stopped working when i changed it from ps2 to usb, it works fine in bios and once it boots into ubuntu, just not in grub [00:45] could anyone help me por favor? [00:45] polandchris-> do you really need it to log remotely or just to see if the freenas is up and running? [00:45] using firefox [00:45] someone can give me a screen shot a gnome - customized ? thanks . [00:45] xtyper, http://img405.imageshack.us/i/screenshot3d.png/ [00:46] mirc-drifter: Some motherboards do strange things like that. Make sure you have USB keyboard emulation turned on in the BIOS. [00:46] hehehe [00:46] testing [00:46] i will send you a screen shot for my friend zain [00:46] zain? [00:46] from DG? [00:46] n8tuser: I would like to actually be able to check if someone has used ssh to access the server [00:46] at least the keyboard works, just noticed [00:46] zain@digitalgangster.com [00:46] ok this is a stupid question: is there any way I can force the num lock to turn on with boot? thats the only annoying thing about Ubuntu that I have found [00:47] klabezo: ??? [00:47] rictec: back. after logging in and running the script, it says: http://pastebin.com/d1471f5ab ("doing nothing, MTRR range already set up") [00:47] Shadow_X: is there a BIOS option? [00:47] I am somewhat of a newbie to Ubuntu and can [00:47] polandchris-> okay [00:47] naxxfish: iirc, the BIOS usually turns it on, then passes control to Ubuntu, which appears to kill it [00:47] rictec: does that mean it was started with the wrong settings? [00:47] yes money [00:47] i am somewhat of a newbie to ubuntu and cant seem to get web-based flash video to work. Anyone have suggestions? [00:47] naxxfish: back in the old days when i used windows, it always booted with num lock [00:48] deviant-route : wow its very nice , what irc are you using ? [00:48] cerebral: what browser?

[00:49] I am tring to get in rescue boot of ubuntu server to reattach my sudo user that I changed the group on. I hit esc when the grub loader started and now have some options what am I suppose to pick? [00:49] naxxfish: never heard of it or tried it, tis why i asked. i'll give it a shot following the install i have going right now [00:49] Shadow_X: cool, good luck :) [00:50] thanks naxxfish. its not a major thing, but a tad annoying when my password has numbers in it, and i forget to hit numlock :P [00:50] snuffy47: Recovery console [00:50] i think I should select drop to root shell prompt [00:50] anyone? [00:50] money you ask me about some thing ? [00:50] np Shadow_X, can't stand not having numlock on by default either!

I read something, and being a complete newbie to ubuntu have no idea what it means: Note that because the files are stored in the database by inode, these must be in the same physical filesystem. Does anyone know what this means? [01:06] nukasl, what do you need drivers for? [01:06] MenZa, do you play those on ubuntu? [01:06] philh, not sure if that's the problem i just want to be able to import the photos and do all the file management stuff [01:06] Frederick: yes? [01:07] After upgrade to 9.10 I have alsa and nvidia-drvers broken Ive failed on both guides. Im specially concerned to alsa as I can no longer listen music [01:07] rictec: No, but most of them can be made to run in wine if you'd like to. [01:07] nukasl, unless the camera does something weird you should just be able to plug it in [01:07] im broke, im only 16 still in school, no car, i cnt upgrade, and now im really upset that ubuntu dosent support my dam graphics card [01:07] anybody know why the new flash player won't install on firefox? [01:07] so is there any documentation on the initrd file. I'm trying to multiboot a usb drive but i have two casper folders. Is there anyone to get these two oses to boot without partitioning the usb drive?

[01:08] im downloadin that driver right noww, but i dnt think that will work. it wasnt exactly for my driver i dnt believe [01:08] nukasl, pastebin any relevant output and give us the url [01:08] thank you, didn't know what to call it lol [01:08] razertek: no I used the envyNG tool long time ago [01:08] karmic broke my pidgin :( [01:08] gregd, filesystems in linux has whats known as superblock that contains links to data files each link is unique within filesystems, but links are not unique on different filesystems/partitions. ie /dev/sda1 may have links named '1' '2' '3', they are unique but at the same time /dev/sda2 may also have a link named '1' [01:08] koala killed my pidgin [01:08] Menza i play all games natively quake3, x3 ,x2,prey no wine [01:09] philh, there was a lot of output [01:09] not sure of relevance [01:09] nukasl, yes, but most of it happened ages ago [01:09] gregd, what they are saying is "we made a really bad design decision and picked inode which is non-unique as the key field" [01:09] Frederick: now karmic most likely came with a prerealese of the new drivers that are yet to come out just like ati [01:09] Frederick: I use an nvidia card. Upgraded to 9.10 and the only thing that didnt work was sound for DVD's [01:09] do dmesg with the camera unplugged, plug it in and see what changed [01:09] what's the command to do a universe update? [01:09] if i can get my graphics driver workin, then i think im good. i finally got my sound, and all i need is my graphics [01:09] I don't suppose someone would be kind enough to help me out, got a problem with ubuntu and I haven't a clue how to go around too fix it. [01:10] gregd, in short all the files that you plan on putting in the database must be on the same partition [01:10] NathanL, what is the problem? [01:10] anyone care to help me figure out why the gnome alsamixer isn't working [01:10] koala killed my pidgin (my connection tripped) [01:10] anyone know why my sound device keeps muting on boot? [01:10] DesertEagle: it's called karmic or karmic koala, not just koala [01:10] zechs, what's it doing or rather not doing? [01:10] usser, does that mean all the files have to be on the same partition as the ubuntu install? [01:10] this has to be one of the worst releases yet. [01:10] DesertEagle: does it work when you try to start it again? [01:10] lstarnes: i was trying to make it funny, obviously you didn't get it [01:10] hey ..what do people prefer for Web development? ...I've been using Quanta Plus [01:11] UBlondie1, vim [01:11] spaztik: someone suggested to me to use the gnome alsamixer to disable the external amplifier [01:11] lstarnes: nope [01:11] ah, I see now [01:11] spaztik: when I open it though, its blank. and when I use the edit option to find a sound card it just closes [01:11] gregd, no, but they must be all on one partition, ie you cant have 1 file on /dev/sda1 and another on /dev/sda2 [01:11] DesertEagle: see what happens when you try to start it in a terminal [01:11] spaztik: is vim good also for PHP and MySql ? [01:11] spaztik, i remember having the same issue... forgot how i fixed it :$ [01:11] Firstly, it was this update - 9.10 it seemed to screw with my network manager after I updated it, so I haven't been able to use the net on ubuntu but that's not all, after I rebooted and went onto my windows partition GRUB was acting up but I fixed that issue. I can see the GRUB list again which is great. But it seems now that when I try too login on Ubuntu 9.10 It says on the top right hand corner. ( Install Problem gnome-network-manager ) was [01:11] not installed correctly, now that gnome network manager could be something eles the " Manager part i'm not too sure off.

I thats how I always open it [01:12] razertek: http://pastey.net/127537 [01:13] Jeffery, just install it from the package manager instead [01:13] xcuse me... would someone mind helping me out through pm or sumthing... im new to ubuntu, should only take a sec [01:13] ok i'll try that [01:13] UBlondie1, also look into the project plugin to manage a listing of files like zend studio or some such, and there's a php debugger plugin used with pydebugger [01:13] is there a channel like ubuntu-64?

ISP told me account data, but its not working right http://pastebin.com/m524c5abb [01:30] pepePlu, if so, use it to search for gstreamer and look out for plugin packages that seem relevant to mp3 [01:30] ooh ...xchat looks noice! :) thanks [01:31] you ought to see irsii! :P [01:31] i did that philh and after that i got tick sounds instead of playing mp3 files [01:31] isilion: might it not be on a non-standard port?

[01:32] ok [01:32] philh, uh didn't find anything else related [01:32] pepePlu, is that gstreamer-###-ffmpeg or just ffmpeg? [01:33] DesertEagle, ...maybe you need to be more specific about the actual problem? If I was a Koala I'd probably want to kill a pidgin too! ..haha sorry :/ [01:33] hey when i look in /var/lib i have ureadahead but not sreadahead, and i read somewhere sreadahead is how grub2 profiles the boot up, is what i read incorrect or am i missing something? last call then im off [01:33] sd_ the amount of damage is unknown so its the best advice i can give you [01:33] gstreamer-ffmpeg @philh [01:33] lots of noise in sound with games like openarena, anyone know what would cause that? other music & video players work fine [01:33] philh.. wait i might have found something else [01:33] http://pastebin.com/m4bd438f [01:33] its the port that works with a webbrowser [01:33] http://pastebin.com/m4bd438f [01:33] zechs, any luck? [01:33] MikeChelen, i've seen that posted online somewhere [01:34] Morgansl, try this page http://www.zzee.com/solutions/linux-permissions.shtml [01:34] MikeChelen, pulse-audio installed? [01:34] isilion, what are you trying to do ? [01:34] DesertEagle: thanks, gonna search google more and check ubuntu forums [01:35] rictec, im trying to manage my router from a console using telnet [01:35] is there a known bug in ubuntu 9.10 that doesn't allow ubuntu and windows 7 to network? [01:35] philh: idk, whatever is default, running 9.04 x64 upgraded to 9.10 [01:35] how do i get to a virtual terminal from the login screen? [01:35] Has anyone else experienced really odd firefox problems in the last week or so? [01:35] isilion, does it have a webserver option? [01:35] MikeChelen, i'm sure I came across the issue when I was searching for a pulseaudio issue i was having, I would say start there [01:35] MikeChelen, probably a yes, then, try sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio [01:36] around the time karmic came out, firefox started segfaulting on gmail and some other sites. [01:36] so apparently pulse audio is a HUGE problem, why the hell did they include it [01:36] you should be able to reinstall it afterwards by swapping remove for install [01:36] it's ALWAYS been an issue [01:36] =\ [01:36] jmcantrell: what kind of virtual machine? [01:36] * DesertEagle removed PulseAudio himself [01:36] Morgansl: Right-click on the folder, select Properties, and click on the permissions tab, then under owner change the permissions to create and delete [01:36] spaztik, it wasn't a problem 4 releases ago, they started making it break stuff in the last few [01:36] is there a known bug in ubuntu 9.10 that doesn't allow ubuntu and windows 7 to network? [01:36] rictec, yes, but ISP controls it by telnet. i told them that i haveng got a desktop environment, and they told me the login data that tey use for my router [01:37] hellyes, maybe win7 has better security defaults or auth methods that aren't supported by the gnome samba gui [01:37] hellyes, can you access a totally public share with no restrictions? [01:37] jmcantrell: xen has an option for vnc, vbox has an option for rdp, and you can always set up the virtualized os to be remote controlled however you want [01:37] isilion, youmay have a firewall blocking that port from you pc [01:37] philh: even though I have the firewalls turned off on both win 7 and ubuntu? [01:37] DesertEagle: found this topic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=458077 it is kind of old though === fahadsadah is now known as Guest19035 [01:38] spaztik: it's a little much since I've barely done anything on linux but I think im getting it lmao [01:38] hellyes, yes, nothing to do with firewalls [01:38] no rictec [01:38] philh: I can access my windows XP laptop no problems, but not win 7 drive, even though I can see it on the network. [01:38] having removed as much of PulseAudio as i think i can (and am happier) i still get ".pulse-cookie" made in my home directory; anyone have a guess which process is creating that? [01:38] isilion, port 23 is open on you pc and on the lan side of that device? [01:38] Are there any programs that will emulate keypresses when a joystick is used? [01:38] howdy all [01:39] hellyes, so it sounds like an issue with share config on win7, try customising the share somehow? [01:39] philh: when I try to access the win 7 shared drive from ubuntu, I get an error: "unable to mount location.......failed to retrieve share list from server" [01:39] i suppose [01:39] philh: idk if any other programs might need pulseaudio, is it definitely the problem? [01:39] hellyes, i get the idea [01:39] MikeChelen, i removed it and everything's working better [01:39] MikeChelen, when i removed it things started working again, my framerates shot up in games and the distortion went away [01:39] ...except pidgin, vlc, openbox... [01:39] :S [01:39] why in Allah name kpackagekit keeps closing after every change i make [01:39] what is the way to kill app hang up? [01:39] philh: any ideas about specifics in the win 7 sharing? [01:39] hellyes, win7 has password on share level go put it on homegrup [01:40] hi all [01:40] ? [01:40] pepePlu: maybe try #kubuntu? [01:40] the problem must have started when they added the auto-hijacking alsa plugin for pulseaudio, even apps that don't explicitly support pulse are forced to use it [01:40] DesertEagle: why didnt you install padevchooser to be able to turn up the volume ? [01:40] I tried to play a dvd movie it gives me an error "No URI handler implemented for DVD" [01:40] does samba support the homegroup feature? that'd be really handy for anyone on a version that cant create a home group [01:40] what is that? [01:40] DesertEagle: Just a thought :P [01:40] Enter text here... [01:41] LinkLonk for wah? [01:41] DesertEagle, that was a question out of anger, didn't really wanted it to be answered :D [01:41] etzerd: thats a lack of dvd support in whatever softwhere you're using, like a missing dvd plugin for vlc [01:41] DesertEagle: Pulse Audio [01:41] rictec: what specifically do I put on homegroup? [01:41] LinkLonk, what has volume got to do with anything? [01:41] !ubottu dvd | etzerd [01:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubottu dvd [01:41] LinkLonk: i mean... how's it better than gnome's own volume thingie [01:41] (which btw is also broken) [01:41] :S [01:41] philh: . [01:41] hellyes you must disable that password protection on 7 to be able to acess files there [01:42] !dvd etzerd [01:42] !dvd | etzerd [01:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about dvd etzerd [01:42] etzerd: 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 [01:42] LinkLonk, .

[01:42] rictec: I've done that. Win 7 is firewall and password free right now.... [01:42] LinkLonk, 9.10 [01:42] rictec, port 23 is open in firewal lanside [01:42] in touter*** [01:42] router [01:42] zenmap comfirmed it [01:42] still you cant list any share cos you dont exist as a ipc account there [01:42] DesertEagle: Oh, hmm.. works ok for me. [01:42] philh, waaaaaay slow.... before 9.1 it reacted instantly when i pressed the volume button.... now it takes about 7-10 seconds to appear and respond [01:42] hellyes: you might have better luck setting a password on win7 and then logging in as that person [01:43] Can anyone help me get Desktop Cube to work??? i have the CompizConfig Settings Manager downloaded... anybody willing to help it'd be appreciated..im new to linux [01:43] Docteh: hmmmm, might try that one [01:43] Docteh, iyou problably right that is a pain to setup [01:43] DesertEagle, weird, fortunately i haven't upgraded yet [01:43] ok, karmic is giving me weird bugs happening, the sound card power off after 7 seconds business creates a horrible high pitch buzz whenever I move my mouse, and i can't click play on any flash videos? [01:43] this isn't fun. [01:43] DesertEagle: The only think i could complain about was "Slow DVD playback using a broken DVD of Robert Gustavsson's Det E Ok" :) [01:43] philh, i'd say dont :P [01:44] KYScottie- open settings and click desktop cube / rotate cube / veiwport switcher [01:44] DesertEagle, you don't have to tell me, i've been here for long enough to know that would be a serious mistake :p [01:44] isilion, and the device as telnet inside enable? [01:44] NET||abuse, you have an Intel HDA sound chip, dont ya?

My computer goes straight to Vista without going to grub first. I didn't seem to have this trouble on my other desktop (which had XP on it) [01:44] I'm somewhat shocked at all of the upgrade issues, I upgraded to alpha5 (and up through the final release) and it's worked great. === chaky_ is now known as chaky [01:45] rictec yes, ISP manage it using telnet [01:45] !intel [01:45] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support.

I can't pause videos, or play flash games. How do I fix this? [01:48] syn-ack, any clue on my flash not letting me click any controls in the video player? i'll try vimeo too, see if it's just youtube or not? [01:48] NET||abuse, anyway, follow those directions and you should be set [01:49] thanks for the help with the recovery console. I now have my root user back :) [01:49] to network windows 7 and ubuntu, should I inster the ubuntu HOST address in the win 7 hosts file and visa versa? [01:49] syn-ack, will do.

[01:52] NET||abuse, http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ [01:52] Tetracomm: right-click on the folder and select sharing options and share the folder [01:52] syn-ack, any problems using that? [01:52] syn-ack, any major advantage? [01:53] Tetracomm: google it, unfortunately i have no experience in it =\ [01:53] hellyes, i think you need to make win7 less picky [01:53] hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me. I just did a fresh install of 9.10 on a dual monitor setup. if i have 2 windows open, one on each monitor. it shows them both in the panel in the bottom of the left monitor. how to i get it to show in the panel of the corresponding monitor? [01:53] Tetracomm: the closest i've come is mapping with devfs, which might also help you [01:53] hellyes, put that 7 on 7GB of the disk and install ubuntu on the rest .....problem solved lol [01:53] haha, this is getting silly. syn-ack i couldn't click play on the labs page flash10.1 mobile presentation video!! [01:53] NET||abuse, No problems and the advantages are A it doesnt need a wrapper to work in 64 bit firefox or anything [01:53] syn-ack, smoother playback? [01:54] Generally [01:54] syn-ack, any better cpu usage? [01:54] hellyes, .....sorry i m gettyng sleepy lol [01:54] much [01:54] Why Ubuntu One always ask me to log into Launchpad when my computer loads?

[01:54] NET||abuse, you too. have fun [01:54] NET||abuse, There is a package for it from what I've been told [01:54] lepban, i see youtube movies on HD so no.... [01:55] !sucks [01:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about sucks [01:55] lepban, no idea, i just know that it does, blame adobe [01:55] NET||abuse, I just get it off the website though since it could be newer than whats in the repos [01:55] Flash doesnt suck [01:55] lepban, what do you mean? [01:55] flash doesn't suck if it works for you [01:55] so apparently pulse audio is a HUGE problem, why the hell did they include it ? [01:55] sooo. ever since karmic, I've discovered that about 50% of the time when launching vlc I will get a stutter every couple of seconds [01:55] the solution? killall pulseaudio [01:55] I want to pipe the output of "ls /some/path/*.tar" to "tar -xf", but "ls /some/path/*.tar | tar -xf" won't work, why? [01:55] ahh mistype [01:55] after that, it works fine until the next time I launch it and it fails [01:55] syn-ack, is there any 64bit version in repo's or they only package the 32 wrapper enabled version? [01:55] as i said i see movies on my asus 1000h on youtube and no problem [01:55] spaztik, because ubuntu has to have new and shiny stuff to break every 6 months [01:55] wondering if anyone else has experienced this [01:56] flash video = choppy under ubuntu using a netbook [01:56] philh, i didn't mean to hit up and enter :S [01:56] nemo: its like problem #3 this week [01:56] NET||abuse, afaik there is a 64 bit version [01:56] nemo, can't kill it, it wont die [01:56] syn-ack, oh,,, does that version just work in other browsers like chrome-google, chromium, epiphany? [01:56] nemo, apt-get remove instread [01:56] philh: well.I assume the killall does a restart [01:56] spaztik, heh [01:56] and the new one is slightly better behaved [01:56] NET||abuse, I was gonna package it for the repos but I was told that it was already there so I didnt bother [01:56] ok... i removed pulseaudio cuz of problems i was having, and get audio in all apps, except totem.. .the options in totem sucks and don't let me choose a device, just output type (ie, channels)... any ideas? [01:56] lepban, i have a asus 1000h no problem seem movies on youtube [01:56] k, so... can someone please help me with VLC, it'll show the video window but not the main one [01:56] !jack [01:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about jack [01:56] syn-ack, ahh, i see. [01:56] Docteh: ok. so this is not unusual... [01:56] nemo, not necessarily, but the moment something trips the alsa plugin it'll start up again, anyway at all [01:56] NET||abuse, I'd assume that it works just like the regular package [01:56] oh, well like philh said blame adobe, but i personally dont have a prob with it [01:57] DesertEagle, is not docked and out of sight? [01:57] philh: does seem pulseaudio is running - I think vlc is using it [01:57] nope [01:57] syn-ack, wow, using the regular 32 bit wrapper'd version i get choppy playback on http://vimeo.com/channels/hd#7400034 [01:57] was wondering if there's some internal weirdness to pulse that goes wonky after running it for a while [01:57] hi, big problem.

[01:59] rictec: no such file or dir :( [01:59] clao, network-manager and network-manager-gnome [01:59] DesertEagle, its hidden [01:59] o_O i did it via CLI [01:59] in you home dir [01:59] deviant-route: what was it again? [01:59] !wirreless|clao [01:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about wirreless [01:59] Morgansl, http://www.zzee.com/solutions/linux-permissions.shtml === Guest9226 is now known as flarkin [01:59] jbuncher, thans [01:59] !thanks | yoyoned [01:59] what is the best plugin to play mpg1 movies [01:59] yoyoned: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [01:59] !wireless|clao [01:59] clao: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:59] jbuncher, how's it going... [01:59] Why can't I install vcrun2008 with wine? [01:59] Not even winetricks works. [02:00] syn-ack, not bad, and yourself? [02:00] Safe: #winehq [02:00] deviant-route: thanks [02:00] np [02:00] Safe, wth is vcrun anyway? [02:00] jbuncher, Not too bad, mate [02:00] what is the best plugin to play MPG1 movies [02:00] usser: visual c++ :) [02:00] usser: runtime libraries for Visual C [02:00] !wtf | DesertEagle [02:00] what is the best plugin to play MPG1 video clips [02:00] DesertEagle: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:00] Safe, DesertEagle oh is that for some windows program? [02:01] anyone resolve any sound issues with the xtreme music xfi card? [02:01] snuffy47, use VLC player [02:01] dude... this 9.10 is pissing me off [02:01] Grelmy: run! or hide! [02:01] roger [02:01] usser, yup [02:01] whats the reason for ubuntu switching to Empathy over Pidgin ? [02:01] for ubuntu [02:01] usser: I thought wine gave it away. ;) [02:01] Grelmy: when did I curse? [02:01] done deal thanks [02:01] empathy = video and voice chat [02:01] tech-mike: because empathy is the fuuuture! [02:01] Safe, yea im a little slow today [02:01] DesertEagle: you didn't but Grelmy did [02:02] no, he told the bot to warn me about cursing [02:02] What a tool :) [02:02] tech-mike: Empathy has video and voice chat, desktop sharing, and the right architecture for future cohesive desktop IM integration. [02:02] DesertEagle: think he was trying to be funny [02:02] hi! I am using ubuntu netbook remix on a regular PC. Is there any way to get back the desktop instead of launcher, without installing an application? [02:02] õ_o [02:02] funny... [02:02] ya to bad no audio/video for aim or yahoo though [02:02] DesertEagle: I didn't see you curse, I just thought "better safe than sorry" so I warned you [02:02] Any idea why mounting an encrypted drive at boot might cause openssh-server not to start? [02:02] tech-mike: Yet. [02:02] anyways... no .vlc dir :( [02:02] wgrant: true [02:02] tech-mike: It's in development. [02:02] tech-mike, wgrant and no latex integration! [02:03] Grelmy, ok... preemptive warnings are a little rude, having no basis and all... [02:03] How do I fix grub in 9.10? The old method can't find anything with find /boot/grub/stage1 [02:03] Morgansl, or if you want the easy way just do alt+F2 gksu nautilus and find the folder then change the permission [02:03] DesertEagle: good point, you should warn me about that [02:03] aside from totem, what's another player that has a mozilla plugin? [02:03] so how about disableing past-chat in msg windows (on new window anyway) [02:03] astronut1, 9.10 uses grub2. !grub2 [02:03] I upgraded, not a fresh install [02:03] spaztik, gmplayer [02:04] I thought they were going to switch to plymouth [02:04] jbuncher: How do i tell if I am using grub2? I upgraded. [02:04] i thought ubuntu 9.10 comes with ext4, /dev/sda still says ext3, is that because i just did an 'upgrade' over the internet and switchin to ext4 would require formatting and reinstalling? [02:04] Grelmy: Im so fucking angry at myself right about now. Where and why would human emotions be a bad thing to put into writing robot ? [02:04] !grub2 > astronut1 [02:04] astronut1, please see my private message [02:04] !language | LinkLonk [02:04] LinkLonk: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:04] eh it worked finally but i have no idea how [02:04] LOL [02:04] lol [02:04] astronut1, if you upgraded from jaunty, you should not be using grub2. I think the package is grub-pc (for grub 2), and for grub 1 it's grub-legacy. Run dpkg -l | grep grub from the terminal to see what is installed. [02:04] !lol | grelmy [02:04] Grelmy, please see my private message [02:05] DesertEagle, ....home .config/,vlc? [02:05] i've never met a family that didnt cuss, i think they died off in the 50s :p === sivel_ is now known as sivel [02:05] DesertEagle, you dont have it? is worse than i think ...... [02:05] rictec: locate .vlc gave nothing :( [02:05] i'm updatedb'ing just in case [02:06] do you have to format and install koala from scratch to get the full effects (grub2, ext4, etc) of the upgrade? [02:06] LinkLonk: Hmm I dunno, probably because it would result in BATTLESTAR GALACTICA [02:06] infidel2s: I think it was before the first caveman or woman ever was invented :) [02:06] Muhahha! [02:06] !lol|pepePlu [02:06] pepePlu, please see my private message [02:06] infidel: yes you do [02:06] infidel2s: yes. [02:06] DesertEagle, did you rename that .vlc to something? [02:06] D= [02:06] not that i know of [02:06] why would i need to? o.O [02:06] linklonk even adam and eve were like 'f this place' [02:06] astronut1, ah, but you can't boot, so my suggestion doesn't really help. If you upgraded from Jaunty, it shouldn't have upgraded the bootloader, so you should still be running grub legacy. [02:07] infidel2s: Youre probably right. [02:07] does the new ubuntu install give you the option to put /home on a separate partition? [02:07] infidel2s, all ubuntu installers have. [02:07] do they make it easy [02:07] infidel2s, sure [02:08] does anyone know of a script that'll backup all your important stuff so i can slap 'em on top of a fresh install? this is getting ridiculous... [02:08] infidel2s, Yes. You can manually upgrade to grub2 after an upgrade, but even if you upgrade your filesystem in place from ext3 to ext4 you still won't receive the "full" benefits of the new filesystem (for reasons I don't fully understand), so in order to get the most out of it you probably need a fresh install. [02:08] infidel2s, you have to select "manual partition" in the installer is all [02:08] cool [02:08] !backup | LinkLonk [02:08] LinkLonk: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [02:08] what's better about ext4 against Reiser, anyways? should i switch? [02:08] i have intel video drivers on my laptop so i should be ok, i heard nvidia and ati users are having major problems with koala [02:09] im having a problem getting into 9.10's desktop [02:09] jbuncher, because you need reformat as ext4 to enable extents. [02:09] can someone help? [02:09] ok... i removed pulseaudio cuz of problems i was having, and get audio in all apps, except totem.. .the options in totem sucks and don't let me choose a device, just output type (ie, channels)... any ideas? [02:09] igloooinvader: easy, put the cd in [02:09] DesertEagle, it's faster, its maintainer isnt serving a life sentence so it'll get revisions [02:09] ive already installed it [02:09] the screen keeps blinking [02:09] spaztik, don't use totem? :P (i use VLC without a hitch... until upgrading that is) [02:09] Is it recommended to enable the proposed and backports software sources in karmic? [02:09] in the command prompt thingy [02:09] does ubuntu use 128 encryption? [02:09] deviant-route: that got it thanks [02:10] syn-ack, pfft updates [02:10] heh [02:10] look what they can cause... [02:10] :P [02:10] DesertEagle, lol then doesn' thtat make it a poor suggestion [02:10] hellyes, for what? [02:10] :P [02:10] igloooinvader: was it a fresh install? did it ever work before? did the live CD show the desktop? [02:10] The filesystem wont make the user go off and kill his wife either. :D [02:10] DesertEagle, uninstall vlc remove the .vlc dir and reinstall it [02:10] syn-ack, I thought you could turn on extents even after the in-place upgrade, but it would only apply to new files or something? [02:10] philh: will it matter what encryption is used in order to talk between ubuntu and win 7 machines? [02:10] that was to you, DesertEagle, but the way [02:10] nothing much wrong with totem, it works well for me in 9.04, just lacks the flexibility of mplayer [02:11] it was a fresh install the live cd does show the desktop. it was the first time i restarted it [02:11] rictec: there is no .vlc folder -.- [02:11] jbuncher, nope [02:11] hellyes, i have no idea, i think you need a samba or win7 expert [02:11] syn-ack: i'm single! :D [02:11] even though pulse audio is removed, starting my movie player creates a .pulse folder in my home... wtf [02:11] jbuncher, you have to enable it on a fs level not file level [02:11] DesertEagle, its inside .config did tyou check that? [02:11] spaztik, sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio, or something like that... [02:11] rictec: yup [02:11] again, locate .vlc gave nothing [02:12] okay anyone here familiar with starting a dhcp server? [02:12] (means nowhere in the system) [02:12] syn-ack, hmm, ok. btw, do you go by any other handles on here? [02:12] libpulse0 libpulse-mainloop-glib0 gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio ......... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm [02:12] Is it recommended to enable the proposed and backports software sources in karmic? === fetusbub1le is now known as fetusbubble [02:12] Spaztik:I have heard that pulseaudio might be responsable for my static/distortions,is that why you removed pulseaudio? [02:12] jbuncher, nope, this one or maybe once in a great great while meskes [02:12] locate gave nothing to me too and its there [02:12] SetiAmon, no cuz it was causing my devices to be muted on boot [02:12] syn-ack, alrighty, just curious. [02:12] igloooinvader: does it do anyhting before it gets to the blinking screen? [02:12] rictec: did you updatedb? [02:12] yep [02:13] wow, it's problem after problem with the update lmao [02:13] spaztik: Did you file a bug? [02:13] jmcantrell, only enable the backports if you need them [02:13] BINGO!!!!! gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio was the culprit [02:13] wgrant, there is one, but it's been moved to invalid [02:13] Spaztik:dig my issue is it detects and has sound from the start except it is highly distorted,echo's etc.if i pause audio for instance it will repeat.sucks,Jaunty was a rock i wish i stayed [02:13] wgrant, https://bugs.launchpad.net/alsa-utils/+bug/315809 [02:13] spaztik: What is its number? [02:13] Ah. [02:13] rictec: hmm... well i went into .config and found nothing, either [02:13] LOCOMONCADA como te me corres mariscon no puedes conmigo [02:13] well its a dual boot, the only thing it does first is give me the new ubuntu logo [02:14] I want to install Ubuntu to a partition that is / /boot and /home How do I use WUBI to install there? I don't what the usual Ubuntu "image" thingy, I want an actual instalation. Thanks in advance =^..^= [02:14] DesertEagle, a bad vlc install i think [02:14] syn-ack: what about the proposed updates? [02:14] igloooinvader: does it get past the boot selection menu? [02:14] jmcantrell, you can but they arent supported because they can be unstable [02:14] yes [02:14] DesertEagle, my .vls has two files in it [02:14] man. i'm a little pissed that Ubuntu went with beta (as in not working) software for something as important as the boot loader [02:14] anyone know how to start a dhcp server on ubuntu? [02:14] syn-ack: ok [02:14] spaztik: I'd file a fresh bug. [02:15] Hi there, does gksu come standard with Kubuntu? [02:15] wgrant, hmm... [02:15] mac9416, yes [02:15] btakita, um, you havent used linux for very long have you? [02:15] !isitoutyet [02:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about isitoutyet [02:15] Lifestream, thanks. [02:15] syn-ack: I only used it as long as the boot loader worked [02:15] cuz you suck [02:15] syn-ack: I tried when it didn't work and stuck with Windoze [02:15] btakita, and I have had no issues with GRUB2 [02:15] is anyone else haveing an issue while using firefox where they get shot back to the main log in screen for ubuntu? [02:16] guys, if im doing minimal installation, it has a package more 'minimal' than 'gnome-session'? [02:16] DesertEagle, its /.config/vlc to be exact [02:16] so why is my dictionary all messed up in empathy and not xchat? [02:16] syn-ack: Yeah, lucky you. It's just seems a bit rushed to me [02:16] igloooinvader: hmm, did you verify the CD before installing? [02:16] rictec: odd.. just found it myself [02:16] o_O [02:16] btakita, well, you can still use Jaunty [02:16] no i didnt [02:16] May I do *normal* install of Ubuntu with Wubi? (Ran out of CD, and internet too unstable for dialup) [02:17] zechs, it would seem like firefox is crashing X [02:17] DesertEagle, rename or move them and restart vlc [02:17] syn-ack: I will. Going to install 9.04 just to upgrade to 9.10 with the *old* boot loader [02:17] whatever floats your boat, bro [02:17] I've been playing with Lisp for a while and it's been working fine, but now Slime won't connect (it tries to connect to a port and times out). Python is giving me the same error. How do I fix this? [02:17] Lifestream, does gksu come with sudo? I'm wondering if it's standard across all flavors. [02:17] igloooinvader: well, on the live cd before you boot into desktop it gives an option to check the cd for errors.... if the cd has errors, then you'd have to burn a new one [02:17] locate still dont find them thats odd [02:17] btakita, this may be a bit roundabout, but if you can get karmic to boot even once (with a new install), you should be able to install grub-legacy instead of grub2, rather than reinstalling jaunty and upgrading. [02:17] mac9416, it's kdesu for kubuntu [02:18] igloooinvader: not really sure if that's the problem, but it could be [02:18] mac9416, no, gksu is merely a front end. varies between distros [02:18] jbuncher: I tried using the boot cd. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD [02:18] ok [02:18] jbuncher: Still stuck with the GRUB only screen [02:18] Out_Cold, syn-ack , I'd rather stick with just gksu if it comes with all flavors. So it does? [02:18] mac9416, no [02:18] mac9416, like I said, no [02:18] Out_cold: yeah, it is for sure. I get that message telling me that it crashed when I log in and turn it back on. I don't understnad why its throwing me to the log in screen though, or why it's even doing this [02:18] hello [02:18] Woops, messed that one up [02:19] are you suggesting i try making a second disk or a second download on a second disk or what? [02:19] any links on tutorials for playing DvD's. I'm extremely new to linux. [02:19] Out_Cold, syn-ack, thanks. [02:19] btakita, and you couldn't boot even once after reinstalling? what do you mean by "GRUB only screen"? [02:19] mpweitekamp, check out medibuntu [02:19] zechs, what did you do in the last few days for it to happen? [02:19] mpweitekamp, www.medibuntu.org [02:19] !dvd | mpweitekamp [02:19] mpweitekamp: 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 [02:19] jbuncher: I can't boot from the hard drive b/c I only see the word GRUB. [02:19] jbuncher: Then the boot stalls [02:19] I'm getting a 'Can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow' error when trying to install Ubuntu Netboox remix on my asus eee pc, can anyone help me? [02:19] syn-ack, yeah, its a shame things like Reiser and ZFS (Apple) get dropped for political reasons and not on their merit [02:19] syn-ack: TY is that available on software downloads? [02:19] igloooinvader: I am suggesting, put in the live CD and check it for errors. If it has no errors, then I don't know the problem. if it DOES have errors, then the error might be in the burn, or it might be in the file you downloaded to burn... [02:20] mpweitekamp, yep [02:20] ah ok ill go check it out now [02:20] be back in a bit [02:20] ok I liked to create a bug report for the SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 [02:20] w30, meh, Resiers been stale for years even before Hans flipped [02:20] atheros [02:20] wifi is not going up [02:20] UnglueD: /cow is an indicatoin of a vm hard-disk? [02:20] jbuncher: I tried reinstalling grub2, then installing grub legacy with the same results [02:20] when I type [02:21] sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [02:21] Out_Cold: I just did the update to 9.10. it messed a bunch of things up. now the only issues left are my sound not working, and that when mozilla crashes it shoots me back into the log-in screen [02:21] btakita, ah, ok. How did you try to install grub legacy? [02:21] good riddance pulseaudio [02:21] how do I fix the SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 [02:21] problem [02:21] pulse audio is your friend [02:21] zechs, remove firefox completely and reinstall [02:21] heh... [02:21] tyler_d1: i setup a usb drive installer from ubuntu.com [02:21] quit [02:21] spaztik, pulseaudio is the future you know [02:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reverting%20to%20GRUB%20Legacy [02:21] tyler_d1: i have successfully installed it once before, am trying to reinstall [02:21] DesertEagle, no luck? [02:21] rictec, only if they fix it [02:21] jbuncher: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reverting%20to%20GRUB%20Legacy [02:22] rictec, i don't doubt it.. but right now there's too many issues [02:22] JAMES! [02:22] syn-ack: i cannot find medibuntu on the software list, should i just go to the site? [02:22] upgrading always causes issues.. i try to back everything up and do a fresh install when i 'upgrade' [02:22] btakita, how idd you attempt that if you weren't able to boot in the first place? [02:22] i was impressed, don't get me wrong... but it has some quirks and issues that need fixing [02:22] jbuncher: I used the live CD [02:22] UnglueD: how did you do it last time? what has changed? [02:22] philh, its a child yet let it mature ;) [02:22] btakita, I think those commands need to be run from the system that you're trying to boot, not the live cd. It might be possible to do it through a chroot though [02:22] Is anyone using an radeon card with the open source driver in karmic? [02:22] Out_Cold: will do now. then hopefully the only issue left is the audio [02:23] ANYONE KNOW HOW TO FIX THE WIFI PROBLEM? [02:23] rictec, then it has no business being in ubuntu [02:23] jbuncher: I used chroot [02:23] SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 [02:23] zechs, i recommend uninstalling and reinstalling those alsa also [02:23] I've downloaded the karmic-desktop ISO, but I don't have any CDs to burn. I know Wubi is not a "real" install. How can I do a real install without burning CD, but WITHOUT alternate-install? [02:23] jbuncher: Maybe it didn't work, but the wiki told me to do so [02:23] btakita, ok, so what happened when you tried to boot once you installed grub legacy? [02:23] c0ld, what wifi [02:23] jbuncher: The "GRUB only" screen [02:23] tyler_d1: I installed it the same way, using a USB drive installer. Last time i was installing it over the native KDE linux that comes with asus. this time over Ubuntu Netbook remix [02:23] Lifestream: you got an USB? [02:23] Lifestream: got a USB key? [02:23] its internal [02:24] atheros [02:24] phillh, i agree its to much trouble [02:24] lifer999, can't you copy a wubi install to a real partition afterwards? [02:24] ath5k [02:24] Lifestream: click system>administration>usb startup disk creator [02:24] jbuncher: It's like it didn't take [02:24] mneptok, bow I have a USB drive, 320GB, but that's where I am installing to :P [02:24] Lifestream: no thumb drive? SD card? [02:24] nah, sorry i have no experience dealing with atheros [02:24] everytime I try to sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [02:24] I get [02:24] mneptok, I don't :( [02:24] SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 [02:24] rictec, it's just hopelessly poor, slow, laggy, processor intensive, immature, it's only useful if you really need to move audio streams around usb devices or networks [02:25] !enter | c0ld [02:25] c0ld: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:25] rictec, i didn't mind it originally, it was when it started hijacking every alsa request on my system that it started to upset me [02:25] Lifestream: cant wait until tomorrow when u have a cd or an usb key? hehe [02:25] jbuncher: I am on an efi system [02:25] jbuncher: Mac Pro [02:25] wow... [02:25] bow don't have the money for it, otherwise I'd go buy some more CDs ;p [02:25] philh, i see your point [02:26] btakita, hmm...... oh wait, efi?? I'm pretty sure grub2 doesn't support that yet. [02:26] Im starting to figure that Ubuntu blows.. cant get help on issues posted in forums or on chat [02:26] jbuncher: ooh [02:26] Lifestream: partition your USB drive, then use the "usb startup creator" to put the cd on one partition and then install it to the other one. Might work... [02:26] bow if I made a small partitioni, 800mb or whatever, from the 320 GB , could I use that? [02:26] and I have one bug I want to fix so bad [02:26] !empathy [02:26] Empathy is an instant messaging and video chat client for GNOME. In !karmic, Empathy will replace Pidgin as the default IM client. [02:26] c0ld, what's the issue? [02:26] everytime I enter sudo ifconfig wlan0 [02:26] jbuncher: yeah. I'm one confused user :-( [02:26] I get SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 [02:26] btakita, that *may* have made it in right before the release, but I think the version they were using in the alphas/betas didn't support efi. You'll have to use grub-legacy. [02:26] Lifestream: im not sure, i think it wont, [02:27] Lifestream, if you can't use wubi and transfer to a real install afterwards, use shipit! and be very patient ;) [02:27] bow Grelmy, I'll give it a try *thumbs up* [02:27] c0ld, are you using Karmic? [02:27] !telepathy [02:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about telepathy [02:27] Hi, I can't seem to fix a GRUB error. When I boot I keep getting "error: cannot get C/H/S values". Could anyone help? [02:27] oops [02:27] yes [02:27] Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic [02:27] Lifestream: im sure its possible to put the iso onto the usb device and boot from it [02:27] hey whats up everyone im chris I am somewhat new to the ubuntu community [02:27] did your wifi worked on Jaunty [02:27] jbuncher: Hence my anguish over having grub2 as the default. It may be the future but it has issues right now. Fail! [02:28] no I never used Jaunty ... the wifi worked fine when I first install ubuntu 9.10 then one day it quit working [02:28] c0ld, oic [02:28] how can I tell if my hp 6730b is scsi or sata ? [02:28] 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation ICH9M/M-E 2 port SATA IDE Controller (rev 03) [02:28] btakita, yeah, I don't know. I remember that efi support wasn't in there at the time of the alphas, but I think it made it in to version 1.97 of grub2, which occurred a week or so before final release, so I'm not sure what made it to the installer. [02:28] 00:1f.5 IDE interface: Intel Corporation ICH9M/M-E 2 port SATA IDE Controller (rev 03) [02:28] c0ld: is there a hardware wifi switch on the machine? is it turned on? [02:29] philh, Billiard I'm going to try what they sugested, I'll report back with update :P [02:29] yes and I have tryed pushing it and it still does nothing [02:29] jbuncher: Interesting. Maybe it will be fixed soon. I hope so. [02:29] c0ld, you didnt disabled the card from some kind of key combination ? [02:29] anyone know why my networking service would be stuck on stop/waiting? [02:29] What is better, emacs or vi/m? [02:29] key combination? [02:29] hi my audio keeps breaking in supertuxkart [02:29] like sudo ifconfig wlan0 down [02:30] thats it [02:30] some lap has it [02:30] Gremly: Which religion is better. Christianity of Islam? :-) [02:30] hey guys, does anyone here use LaTeX ? [02:30] Grelmy, silly question, try them and find out [02:30] rictec, wow! it actually worked [02:30] rictec, how'd you know it'd work? :) [02:30] hah [02:30] Grelmy, that's like comparing pepsi to coke... you'll just get opinions [02:30] Vi FTW [02:30] it works fine then all of a sudden it starts clicking [02:30] VI! [02:30] DesertEagle, great [02:30] emacs is for losers! :P [02:30] Grelmy: a pointless debate between red or green. Whichever you like better... [02:30] haha [02:30] /EoT [02:30] * DesertEagle throws paper balls at emacs [02:30] and when ubuntu starts the startup sound is all crackly [02:30] is there a better channel to ask questions about grub in? [02:31] #grub [02:31] kevinluikens, #grub [02:31] syn-ack: thanks. [02:31] wwow [02:31] Good point, I shouldn't have asked. What is better, KDE or Gnome? [02:31] vi if your stuck in the console, graphical vim (gvim) is fail [02:31] sorry to steal your thunder, tonsofpcs [02:31] does anybody know why my sound output is enabled only when it is over 13% of volume? Ubuntu Karmic, using Pulseaudio, sound card Audigy SE 5.1 [02:31] Grelmy, almost the same question [02:31] Grelmy: I find Gnome better :( [02:31] !best | Grelmy [02:31] Grelmy: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:32] rictec, so does that mean i shouldn't trust locate 100%? [02:32] sigh* [02:32] What can't you trust locate? [02:32] DesertEagle, i didnt know locale has that .....not see all kinda bug too [02:32] is here any Ubuntu sound system expert? [02:32] Grelmy: you can, if you set a cron job for updatedb [02:32] DesertEagle: you just have to give it the right parameters [02:33] b0w: know of a link for that? [02:33] mneptok: I just do a "sudo updatedb" right before using locate [02:33] ditto [02:33] btakita, I can't find the info I'm looking for on efi bios and grub 2, but I'd just keep trying to get grub-legacy installed [02:33] b0w, what it too lol will man do? i read man and it didnt [02:33] Grelmy- if you are new to console editors, you will find emacs easier to transition to because in graphical mode it can act just like any other graphical editor (you can do everything from toolbar and menus while you learn hotkey commands) [02:33] but apparently... .config is invisible [02:33] Grelmy: show-off ;) [02:34] sure am going to miss ubuntu 9.10 karmic [02:34] I've been playing with Lisp for a while and it's been working fine, but now Slime won't connect (it tries to connect to a port and times out). Python is giving me the same error. How do I fix this? [02:34] Out-cold: i uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, still have the problem [02:34] was just starting to like it [02:34] until it gave me issues [02:34] btakita, in fact, maybe try booting a jaunty livecd and then following the "install grub legacy" instructions after chrooting that you sent me earlier. [02:34] hmmmm just experimenting with 9.10 here.. anybody else noticed what appears to be a massive memory leak in the process gnome-volume-control-applet? [02:34] c0ld are you on a laptop?» [02:34] arquebus: heh, actually I prefer gedit to both vim and emacs... but I'm not a programmer [02:34] zechs: did you remove the settings dir? [02:34] maybe i should try to install alsa? does it do pulse audio by default? [02:34] my laptop keeps going to suspend if idle .. do I change this paramter for it not to go suspend ever when idle? LM_SECONDS_BEFORE_SYNC=2 in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf === jacob_ is now known as jacob__ === jacob__ is now known as jacob900 [02:34] jbuncher: Ok. I realized that Ubuntu created a sda3 "boot" partition by default [02:34] yes [02:34] Yondering, nope, but it volume switcher button sure is slow :( [02:34] Im on a laptop [02:35] hello [02:35] 'night [02:35] is there a channel for ubuntu audio issues? [02:35] DesertEagle, I'm watching the process's memory use climb here by about 200kb every 10 seconds [02:35] c0ld: *please* try to keep things on one line. asking you multiple times is becoming tiresome. [02:35] jbuncher: Maybe that holds the key [02:35] c0ld, laptops have switch to disable wireless did you check that? [02:35] haha Cold, awesome song [02:35] what are the differences between ubuntu the the ubuntu server version? [02:35] mom: pulseaudio is a layer on top of alsa. [02:35] Grelmy-well stick with gedit then [02:35] yes [02:35] currently it's at 207.1 MiB [02:35] I have checked that [02:35] Deserteagle: sudo apt-get remove firefox should remove it all right? [02:35] DesertEagle: well some times locate dont do the trick, try this "find /path/to/search/from -type d -iname 'PATTERN'" [02:35] Uso: ubuntu server doesn't come with a gui === jacob900 is now known as jacob772 [02:35] mom, just ask your question and someone might know the answer [02:35] still same error [02:35] zechs: not necessarily, not even purge sometimes =\ [02:36] Grelmy, and a preinstalled server? [02:36] ok, so i've just installed 9.10, and now have no network on my laptop. no eth0, no wlan0 even though they worked fine in 9.04. the ath9k module is present and loaded, but I see in dmesg "ath9k: unable to attach hardware; HAL status -5" [02:36] btakita, that it could. Also, turns out I had my info backwards. Grub-legacy doesn't support efi, according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Grub2Testing I'm not sure if grub2 does though. [02:36] c0ld what is the error? [02:36] Out_Cold, I did, how do I keep it from crashing when I play games? [02:36] Deserteagle: so what should I do to remove it ALL lol [02:36] jbuncher: True, but our boots worked w/ grub legacy [02:36] and the start up sound is all crackly [02:36] mom, what game? is wine installed? do you have a graphics card? [02:36] rictec SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 === jacob772 is now known as flarkin [02:36] jbuncher: So I'm not sure what to believe [02:36] Out_Cold, supertuxcart [02:36] Uso: um, i guess a pre-installed server is like a server but... preinstalled? [02:37] Hey everyone :) [02:37] DesertEagle: you can also use the find option in [02:37] does anyone know how to switch between pulse audio and alsa mixer in karmic? [02:37] right so theres no other difference than that it comes with servers preinstalled and no gui? [02:37] zechs: sudo apt-get purge firefox && rm -r ~/.mozilla <--- will delete your Firefox profile, including bookmarks [02:37] DesertEagle: i find very usefull the "locate" plugin on Gnome-do [02:37] dublued2, change your defualt mixer in your sound settings [02:37] mom, so why do you think the sound is the problem with the game? [02:37] b0w: what's Gnome-do? [02:38] in jaunty you could choose between pulse and alsa and sigmatel from sound prefs, but karmic doesn't have that. how can we switch between them in karmic [02:38] gnome-do is cool [02:38] syn-ack: it's not in sound settings like it was in jaunty [02:38] jbuncher: OMG, the installer installed a partition with bad geometry [02:38] c0ld its still a open bug [02:38] dublued2, oh. hah sorry mate [02:38] c0ld let me see if a workarround exists [02:38] rictec yah so what do I do with it? [02:38] DesertEagle: an application launcher from gnome, and it has a very famous dock interface [02:38] jbuncher: I used the largest continuous space option [02:38] btakita, that sucks. I found this link, might be helpful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/EFI-Boot-Mactel#Getting GRUB2 EFI [02:38] ok [02:38] mneptok: doing that now [02:39] syn-ack: thanks nonetheless [02:39] Uso: and you can start with the server install and remove & install stuff so it ends up equivalent to desktop i.e. its basically the same stuff, just differs what you get by default... [02:39] mmmm I have grub-efi [02:39] its goodness [02:39] rictec, http://wwww.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1311886 well this is my post but apparently this doesnt work now the solution [02:39] Out_Cold, because it works fine and then goes out after a minute or two, staticky noise [02:39] btakita, ah. I always do manual partitioning. I just don't trust something to auto-mess with my partition tables :) [02:39] jbuncher, and its NOT a Mac, but rather an HP [02:39] philh: er, no? [02:40] alright, thanks Gremly losha [02:40] Out_Cold, and it sounds staticky when the ubuntu sound first plays [02:40] mom, you need to be more descriptive, what works fine then cuts out? and when? [02:40] Baconizer, er what? [02:40] jbuncher: Yeah, I going to delete it [02:40] Out_Cold, all audio works fine [02:40] syn-ack, I thought he said it was a Mac Pro? [02:40] Out_Cold, then it all cuts out and you hear staticky noises [02:40] c0ld read this [02:40] Out_Cold, then it comes back [02:40] http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1816345.html [02:40] when you play the game and start up? [02:40] jbuncher, he did, I have an HP with EFI. :p [02:41] or all the time? [02:41] Out_Cold, then it goes [02:41] Out_Cold, after a few seconds of playing [02:41] syn-ack, ah, ok. Was confused for a second. [02:41] Any thoughts on windows 7? im thinking of switching for a while .... [02:41] Out_Cold, it intermittently goes in and out [02:41] and btw love ubuntu [02:41] Out_Cold, but it mostly is out [02:41] !offtopic > airforceguy [02:41] airforceguy, please see my private message [02:41] how do i switch between pulse and alsa? [02:41] c0ld read http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1816345.html [02:42] jbuncher: I took a look at that. I didn't follow through w/ the compile though [02:42] member:airforceguy I just put win 7 on a domain today for the first time and I was impressed. My boss also was impressed when I gave it to him. [02:42] dublued2, i don't really know, but i found myself forced to sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio [02:42] c0ld and wait for now [02:42] airforceguy, windows 7 is good, if you absolutely need windows for an app. But I'd look harder for linux alternatives first. [02:42] mom, so all the time, the sound is cracking, including when you play the game and start up and whatever else? [02:42] jbuncher: I took a look at that. I didn't follow through w/ the compile though [02:42] philh: so if i remove pulseaudio alltogether, the system will default to alsa? [02:42] jbuncher: sorry about the 2x post [02:43] Out_Cold, playing back audio mp3 and oggs i havent heard cracking yet [02:43] philh: and if i want pulse again i can just reinstall that and it will default to pulse again? [02:43] btakita, ok. I don't know what else to suggest other than to try to get back to what you had before with grub-legacy. [02:43] Out_Cold, but games yes, and the startup sounds yes [02:43] dublued2, yep [02:43] philh: what kind of sound card do you use [02:43] jbuncher: that makes sense to me [02:43] Ya, at first I was like linux and that is it forever...but now im realizing I can make windows 7 look and perform just like ubuntu and still have all the apps im etching to have.... [02:43] the moment you install the package it gets fired up and takes over everything, it's horrible [02:44] dublued2, whatever via ac97 is on my motherboard [02:44] !offtopic [02:44] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:44] airforceguy, thats what i am am talking about i know its off-topic but is spirit lifting I love Ubuntu too. In fact i have been trying CentOS and sadly disappointed you get a linux kernel system bash shell and thats it. forget repos... little. Its about humanity indeed. WE love Ubuntu [02:44] whats the best way to check if my cpu is 64 capable if i dont know for sure? [02:44] 64bit [02:44] Out_Cold, would there be a log place for pulesaudio? [02:44] I go about going BACK to 9.4 [02:44] * sblunix is alive [02:45] 9.04 [02:45] Out_Cold, its like it is dropping sound packets [02:45] Uso, what cpu do you have? [02:45] Uso, why do you want to know? do you have lots of ram? [02:45] mom, i am pretty sure there is, and that might not be a bad idea but i have to go. [02:45] jbuncher: I'm a little shy about upgrading to grub2, but I'll try again with the next dist-upgrade I guess [02:45] Uso: are you using Linux now? [02:45] yes [02:45] catr /proc/cpuinfo [02:45] jbuncher: Thank you [02:45] -r [02:45] btakita, no problem, wish I could have been more help. [02:45] Uso: pastebin the output of "cat /proc/cpuinfo" [02:45] if tlm flag is set, cpu is 64bit capable? [02:46] Uso: uname -a will tell you also [02:46] lm* damnit [02:46] btakita, upgrading to GRUB2 is rather painless, mate [02:46] IdleOne, the kernel version, but i couldve installed a 32bit version on a 64bit cpu [02:46] Uso, Ubuntu 9.10 supports PAE-enabled cpu's now in 32-bit, by default. I'm using the 32-bit release with 8gb, didn't need to change a thing. [02:46] AMD amd amd ....amd [02:46] Uso: you're right sorry [02:46] btakita, just whatever you do, follow the directions in the ubuntu HOWTO [02:46] syn-ack: I wish what you said applied to my situation [02:46] syn-ack: I did [02:46] syn-ack: a few times [02:47] syn-ack: others are having issues too, so it's not just me [02:47] mneptok, do i have to look for the cflush size or the flags? === xonesoulx is now known as pochomon [02:48] btakita, suck. :/ [02:49] syn-ack: What? [02:49] your situation [02:49] philh, no, not really, why? [02:49] what maintenance should i perform on ubuntu OS's? i cannot find much about it in the forums or in the OS itself? should i simply download filehippo ccleaner and defraggler? [02:49] What's a decent editor for writing C and C++ files? I like gEdit, but I would prefer intellisense that can read information from #include lines, etc. Just a simple editor with intellisense. I prefer making my own build files through a CLI compiler. Better if I'm able to just ctrl + n for a new file, and save to a dir of my choice instead of setting up a "project" in the editor. [02:50] Balsaq: You don't really need to defrag [02:50] Balsaq, all those apps... they're windows apps [02:50] syn-ack: yeah. It does. I'm motivated enough at this point to add to any relevant bug reports though [02:50] with a nick such as yours I suspect you already know this [02:50] wow so i do nothing? [02:50] btakita, Please do! we need all we can get [02:51] Problem installing packages- says I must run sudo dpkg --configure -a manually [02:51] syn-ack the q is silent [02:51] Balsaq: Yeah, it's really low maintenance. Most of the filesystems don't get very fragmented with normal use [02:51] Im running ubuntu kk [02:51] Uso, i was just wondering if you had a particular reason for wanting a 64bit linux, i've heard little positive about 64bit over 23bit [02:51] 32* [02:51] Balsaq, sure it is [02:51] head [02:51] spartan7, do it [02:51] Grelmy so they NEVER need derag? [02:51] Tried it doesn't work [02:52] philh, i'd try it for server usage [02:52] philh i m running 64 bits its faster but very anoying sometmes [02:52] I'm trying out Anjuta [02:52] !defrag | Balsaq [02:52] Balsaq: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [02:52] rictec, faster, interesting [02:52] Balsaq, with the way the UNIX filesystems are designed defragging is either not needed or rare [02:53] hello everyone [02:53] how do i submit my pulseaudio log to launchpad? [02:53] Grelmy the longer i have ubuntu the more i t hink it is superior toi windows [02:53] is there a way to make ubuntu ask me for my pwd everytime ? [02:53] syn-ack, it is. It's just that the system does that itself (by design), right? [02:53] philh, faster on 8GB machine but most of the comun progs are 32 bits so... [02:53] Says E:_cache->open() failed, please b [02:53] Report [02:53] syn-ack seems like ubun is superior to windows [02:54] Freeaqingme, for the most part [02:54] i have ubun xubun and linux mint and puippy now...newbie love it [02:54] Darksoul_, every time what? [02:54] yes, I want to be asked for pwd [02:54] Darksoul_: system > admin > login screen [02:54] Freeaqingme, Im not saying that it doesnt need it ever but it more depends on which FS you're running [02:54] no when using sudo === sky_ is now known as SkyHigh [02:54] it remembers pwd for 15 minutes [02:54] XFS actually needs to be defragged quite a bit [02:55] Hi, the people who were helping me about installing ubuntu w/o CD. I forgot about my ipod. It's 4gb. If I install it there, will it delete all my music? It doesn't ask to format. [02:55] but I want to be asked everytime [02:55] If you upgrade to 9.10, is it true that you stay with grub0.9x ? [02:55] Darksoul_: system > admin > login screen > just unselect the login automatically option [02:55] shane2peru: yes [02:56] shane2peru: you have to make a clean install to have the grub2 [02:56] b0w: great, thanks! and you can upgrade via the alternate disk right? [02:56] Thank you, I will try that wrgb. [02:56] yes, but what I want is, ei. if I use synaptic to install a program it ask for my pwd, but if I close and open it again it won't ask for my pwd again [02:56] i never found defragging terribly helpful when i used windows and ntfs, certainly the power users who defrag weekly using special defraggers are just wearing their discs out, linux filesystems are generally designed to require less defragging [02:56] shane2peru: you got it :) [02:57] How do I find a broken package? [02:57] so what I want is to change the time that ubuntu keeps my pwd === jacob_ is now known as flarkin [02:57] Question: Which bear is best? [02:57] Darksoul_: trust me, thats better than typing your password every 2 minutes when u are installing packages [02:57] from 15 minutes to 0 [02:57] is it? [02:57] b0w: good deal, going to download the alternate, installed 9.10 (fresh install) and grub2 rebelled and refused to load, really quite frustrating. [02:57] Grelmy, the still full ;) [02:57] b0w: had to re-install juanty [02:57] I got rid of pulseaudio and restarted the system. my volume icon is gone from the tray and i'm unable to add one to the panel because it's not in the list. when i go to system>preferences>sound. it just says "waiting for sound system to respond" [02:57] Darksoul_, http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/change-gksudo-timeout/ [02:57] spartan7, run synaptic, look for the filters [02:58] rictec: Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica. [02:58] there should be a broken filter [02:58] another thing , I installed xubuntu along ubuntu but when I try to login to xubuntu it sends me back to the loging screen [02:58] when one of you speaks to me, i cannot hear a ping?do i need to enable something? [02:58] shane2peru: did you try the live cd karmic before installing? [02:59] I asked a friend and he said that ubuntu and xubuntu can't be on the same disk [02:59] Balsaq: For which client? [02:59] xchat [02:59] it's that true [02:59] how does one go about going from 9.10 to 9.04? [02:59] balsaq: check out preferences im not sure if xchat have that option [02:59] Grelmy i m a vampirelol [02:59] Any thoughts on windows 7? im thinking of switching for a while .... [02:59] zechs: Recover from backup [02:59] b0w: yes, the livecd worked great, and if the machine was 'restarted' it rebooted, however if it was shut off, it wouldn't start cold. [02:59] i dont think it does [02:59] Darksoul_, how did u install xubuntu? [02:59] Is setting up multiple NICs easy with ubuntu, especially if one of them is USB based? [02:59] Darksoul_: false, you can have both on a partitioned disk [02:59] Darksoul_: no, there are multiple ways of setting them up together [02:59] Thank u [03:00] My father downloaded the ISO of Karmic and made a bootable USB drive with it. But this computer doesn't want to recognize it as bootable for some reason. Is there any way to get the install process started from within linux? [03:00] b0w: grub that is, wouldn't even load, when the machine was cold started, a reboot, loaded fine [03:00] I downloaded ubuntu and xubuntu , made 2 partitions and installed ubuntu in one and xubuntu on the second [03:00] shane2peru: when i first installed 9.10 i got some problems too, but i did it again and it worked great === john is now known as jtz [03:00] bummer i downloaded a chat client with no flippin ping? [03:00] with a 4.5gigs of swap [03:00] Darksoul_, that's way too complicated... [03:00] Ripp: well, it easily detects both network cards on my laoptop, no problem (wired and wireless) [03:00] excellent [03:00] b0w: nope, this was the second install, I was helping a friend he did the first install, and rebooted, worked, shut off and then turned it on, and nothing [03:00] i'll buy one tomorrow and give it a shot [03:01] Ripp: a usb wireless card? [03:01] so i have a built in ethernet card in my laptop [03:01] then want another usb ethernet card [03:01] unable to get wireless working in 9.10. lshw says the interface is unclaimed. some messages from dmesg here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/309070/ [03:01] I installed ubuntu firts and then after it finished i installed xubuntu to the second partition but I can't login to xubuntu [03:01] KB1JWQ: hi [03:01] b0w: ditto was my experience on his box, poor fellow, really liked the look of koala too, but had to go with Jaunty to get it up and running for the time being. [03:01] KB1JWQ: wont i get the voice in defocus again? [03:02] Darksoul_, it doesn't work that way [03:02] it doesn't ? [03:02] shane2peru: its weird since its a clean install and it works for the first time, myabe something wrong with the hardware, theres and issue about that on launchpad though [03:02] Darksoul_, just install xubuntu-desktop from synaptic [03:02] so that means ubu and xubu can't co-exist on the same drive ? === xonesoulx is now known as pochomon [03:02] Ripp: when buying a new piece of hardware, it might be wise to google the ubuntuforums for any mention of that NIC model and brand... in case someone mentions that it works great or there is a problem [03:03] people be nice i m of today [03:03] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix on an old laptop. When netbook-launcher tries to run, it segfaults with this error in dmesg: segfault at 404 ip 004a5326 sp bff7778c error 4 in libGL.so ... does anyone know what this could be from? [03:03] b0w: it was previously running jaunty great, and installed jaunty great, and ran fine with that, both with reboot and cold boot [03:03] Darksoul_, then when login from gdm, choose xfce instead of gnome for the session [03:03] Darksoul_: when you start your pc hold that should give you a grub prompt, just select Xubuntu [03:03] the reason I did it was because I wanted to try xubuntu , since I have always used ubuntu === avash is now known as Avash [03:03] Grelmy: awesome, will do! [03:04] b0w: I think I will upgrade him via alt-disk, but make a backup first for simple restore. [03:04] hi i think i made something work now when i try to use sudo system says "user" is not in the sudoers file what can i do? [03:04] and din't want to mix my ubuntu with another windows manager on top of ubuntu [03:04] shane2peru: yeah thats a good idea [03:04] Darksoul_, xubuntu is just ubuntu with xfce instead gnome as DE [03:04] shane2peru: good luck bro :) [03:04] b0w: I'm 100% sure it is grub2 not agreeing with his hardware [03:04] I really am thinking about turning the root account back on. [03:04] b0w: thanks [03:04] so they have the same applications ? [03:04] !ot | Avash [03:04] Avash: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:05] Darksoul_, some are the same, some are different [03:05] but if I install xubuntu, it won't uninstall any of my ubuntu apps? [03:05] Darksoul, I doubt it [03:05] ok [03:05] what can i do system says says "user" is not in the sudoers file? [03:05] I will give it try [03:05] Darksoul_, but if you install xubuntu-desktop, it will install all the apps for xubuntu default install [03:05] Darksoul_, it won't [03:06] but it won't uninstall any gnome apps from my default ubuntu [03:06] whats up guys!? [03:06] Darksoul_, no [03:06] ok [03:06] Darksoul, you don't even need to install Xubuntu... just go into synaptic and install the package "xubuntu-desktop" [03:06] will try right now [03:06] what breaks If I turn off sudo and switch to logging on as root for maintenance? [03:06] ok [03:06] Can anyone help me out with some Internet problems? [03:06] My father downloaded the ISO of Karmic and made a bootable USB drive with it. But this computer doesn't want to recognize it as bootable for some reason. Is there any way to get the install process started from within linux? [03:07] !anyone | Yaya [03:07] Yaya: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [03:07] wb5udi [03:07] So, why does the new version of GNOME use Empathy IM instead of Pidgin? [03:07] joshua___: if you disable sudo, im guessing many of the items on the menus wont work correctly, such as synaptic [03:07] momoru, Try copying the kernel and initrd to the hard disk and setting it up as bootable [03:07] qsl? [03:07] momoru: try something like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=992426 [03:08] I'm sick of seeing all these Joined/Left messages. How do I turn these off in Empathy? [03:08] oops wrong channel [03:08] sorry [03:08] be back later I will try xubuntu desktop [03:08] i cant install ubuntu , in the install i get error (grub bootloader) [03:08] :) [03:08] I came in here expecting to report GRUB2 not working. GRUB2 is working. Praise be. [03:08] :( [03:08] Firefox seems to be really slow for me! Since i switch over from xp it went from like 5 seconds to load espn to about 30~ on 9.10 [03:08] anyone know how to fix this? [03:08] lifestream, it's different for every IRC client [03:09] momoru: I know silly ;P I don't see the option in Empathy, so I thought I'd ask [03:09] I'm still on the Jaunty package for X even though everything else is karmic [03:09] hello, can someone (anyone) please help me fix my laptop, it cannot connect to anything, not with eth0 nor with wifi. Please help, been struggling with this for days. [03:09] jbuncher: Hmm. I installed 9.04 and have the same issue. Maybe its a bios issue. [03:09] my error report is still marked as incomplete [03:09] Yaya, it could happen, firefox on linux is not that fast unfortunately [03:09] how can i play wmv files in ubuntu? i try to install vld and nothing, install vmplayer and nothing :( any ideas? [03:09] is it possible to get a usb game controller working in the free virtualbox? i've been searching but it seems there's some issues with it, or possibly it just isn't offered in the free version - not sure === anonymous__ is now known as gantrixx [03:10] I'm having trouble installing 9.10. When I get to the step where I have to enter a username and password, I can't enter any text for some reason. [03:10] I've got an unsupported video card that works if you force VESA [03:10] TuTXG: Do you know if there is a way to fix this? [03:10] SuperMiguel: Vlc should work fine on it. Or get the codecs for it. [03:10] Yaya: Maybe uninstall Firefox, and install it from the Mozilla Firefox website instead. Less bloat. [03:10] what can i do i have message "says "user" is not in the sudoers file"?? [03:10] mordof, i thought virtualbox was free?? [03:10] when i did the upgrade, it seems it complete correctly, is it worth it to wait or reinstall? [03:10] good idea lifestream, i'll give tha ta try [03:10] veggteppe, i get this error: VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2" [03:10] scott_ino2, it is [03:10] rjb: this is a new user you added? [03:10] SuperMiguel: Sec. [03:10] they have a paid version? [03:10] scott_ino2: There's OS version and Sun version, if you want free, then install virtualbox-ose [03:11] ubuntu 9.10, cant connect to network wired or wifi, please help. [03:11] since when cant mplayer keep volume setting inbetween tracks in 91p [03:11] fix this [03:11] Billiard: no, it's my default user [03:11] SuperMiguel, its only Windows Media Player will play MSS2 [03:11] lifestream, ah gotcha [03:11] what's the difference lifestream ? [03:11] i've got virtualbox-ose, and was wondering about usb support [03:11] scott_ino2: Free as in Freedom, not as Caching. [03:11] why does every new version of ubuntu screw with sound [03:11] rjb: run the command groups [03:11] hello, is from brazil [03:11] it's greyed out and doesn't recognize my game controller [03:11] move to debion after a yr with this then gentoo the worlds os [03:11] r00to323, no linux app for it?

[03:11] olivers join #ubuntu-br :) [03:11] Billiard: all my groups are gone [03:12] rjb: ok, thats your problem then [03:12] ok , thank you lifestream [03:12] lifestream: using Empathy, wait until someone joins or quits, then right click the chat area and choose "clear" [03:12] Supermiguel: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-April/076493.html Explains what to do. [03:12] Billiard: what can i do to get back? [03:12] rjb: you need to be in the admin group to use sudo [03:12] Yaya: that version is better than the one in the repos? [03:12] SuperMiguel, convert it to avi? [03:12] lifestream: repeat the process for each join/quit [03:12] lifestream, still more free than vmware [03:12] cant connect to internet with ethernet wire or wifi! [03:12] if that makes any sense [03:12] rjb: you will have to choose the recovery option from the grub menu if you dont have another admin user [03:12] Billiard: how can i come back to admin group? [03:13] Billiard: how can i do that? [03:13] rjb: just told you [03:13] please can someone help me... [03:13] TonyTheTiger: why can't you connect? [03:13] Role models rock xD [03:13] rjb: then the command `usermod -aG admin yourusername` [03:13] Grelmy i dont know. it just doesnt work. [03:14] Grelmy this is a fresh install btw. [03:14] Billiard, rjb: no, that won't work. Just use adduser username admin [03:14] should reinstall my os, or try repairing after a upgrade gone wrong? [03:14] hi, please where could i get the source code for ubuntu? [03:14] good evening Flannel [03:14] Flannel: how will it not work, i have done it b4 works fine [03:14] i want to compile all my ubuntu with the defaults, just to make it faster [03:14] resno1: if you have something importaint on your box, try repair. if not, reinstall:) [03:15] obiwan_, um, what? [03:15] Flannel: Only root may add a user or group to the system. [03:15] Billiard: useradd -G group -a username, combining the a and G can turn problematic [03:15] rjb, use sudo [03:15] rjb: Prefix it with sudo [03:15] TonyTheTiger: was it working in an earlier version? [03:15] Flannel: that is my problem, can't use sudo [03:15] Billiard: But again, it's easier and safer to just use adduser [03:15] Flannel: i am out of admin group [03:15] rjb: you need to choose recovery from your grub menu [03:15] veggteppe: it seems the upgrade was applied half wise. touch pad broken, sound gone and some graphics updates while others not [03:16] rjb: Gotcha. You'll need to go to the recovery console from GRUB, then do it [03:16] ok i will do what Billiard says [03:16] resno1: Well, i personally would just reinstall everything(since i got a extern drive with i got all on). But if you want to try repair, go for it. [03:16] noone? because without any method to access internet its useless :( [03:16] Flannel: i dont see how -a and -G is problematic -a is ment for -G [03:16] Are the windows 7 / samba issues only with ubuntu 9.10 or is it all samba? [03:17] syn-ack: hi , some guys told me that compiling the system for my own system would run better, so i thought i'll just pick the default source (cause i still duno how to tweak the source) and i'll compile it, i want to get the exact same working default setup canonical used to compile ubuntu, but in source so i can compile it [03:17] TonyTheTiger: Did you check if there are proprietary drivers for it in System>administartion>HardwareDrivers ? [03:17] Grelmy i think there may be, with the live usb it said there were, but after the install none seem to show up. === nathan is now known as Guest56405 [03:18] doc-saintly: i dont have any issues with samba and win7 [03:18] veggteppe: i imagine i should backup my windows install also right? just in case. [03:18] Billiard: do I have to hit esc while booting to enter recovery mode? [03:18] i really like ubuntu but this major hurdle is really holding me back. [03:18] resno1: Allways nice to have a backup. [03:18] rjb: you may depending on the settings of your grub [03:18] TonyTheTiger: Try going to System>>administration>>SofwareSources, and make sure to check "proprietary drivers" source and "commmunity-maintainted" source [03:19] please can anybody answer me? [03:19] Billiard: have you tried to copy a large number of files? [03:19] Grelmy ok, i will try that. cheers. [03:19] i just want to know where to download the default source code canonical used to compile karmic koala, to compile it myself so i can boost up its speed on my cpu [03:19] Billiard: i'm unable to map it as a drive, and i can't copy large numbers of files (over 1000) [03:19] doc-saintly: no, but i would assume it works fine, i havent had any problems with large single files [03:20] Billiard: it's not the size, it's the quantity. i know there's a bug report in for it already [03:20] doc-saintly: samba server or samba client? [03:20] but yea, i ran into all kinds of samba issues once i upgraded to KK [03:20] Grelmy the restricted and community boxes are both ticked. [03:20] in the ubuntu web i just find the binaries, i want the source [03:20] Billiard: samba server i believe [03:20] Billiard: the report specifically stated win 7 as the client [03:20] i killed fireox with SIGHUP [03:20] hi guys, does anybody know where can i find documentations about using linux by terminal codes? eg. mount, ls etc?! [03:20] damnn [03:20] thought it would pause the fucker [03:20] doc-saintly: i have copied large amounts of files with win7 client and samba server in karmic works well [03:21] TonyTheTiger: OK, in Synaptic, "reload" the package list now [03:21] excuse me! [03:21] freaklyweirdo, type man before any of those commands [03:21] i got rid of pulse audio and now am using alsa. but the audio icon is gone from the top panel and i'm unable to add it. any advice? [03:21] Grelmy the restricted and community boxes are both ticked. [03:21] freaklyweirdo: You want somewhat a pocket guide or? [03:21] I just installed 9.10, installed nvidia drivers, and set up dual monitors. And now I have no taskbars. :( [03:21] sorry i mean they are already ticked and i havent changed anything Grelmy (hit the up button by accident) [03:21] any ideas? [03:22] TonyTheTiger: Yeah, after ticking the boxes go into synaptic and click the "reload" icon [03:22] veggteppe: kinda... but it has to work for any distro. [03:22] veggteppe: a generic guide perhaps [03:22] dublued2, no idea, sorry, i'm still on 9.04, and after configuring gstreamer sinks in System > Preferences > Sound it worked ok [03:22] please, anybody must know where the karmic source is, i just asking the default canonical used, to compile it myself [03:22] no list of tasks, no launching of programs... only one of the monitors can have windows dragged onto it, the other can take the cursor but nothing else. [03:22] will1, double check your resolution, your task bars may come back if you move the mouse to the top or bottom of the screen [03:22] freaklyweirdo: If you learn ubuntu, then go to fedora for examples, some terminal commands are changed. so hard to find a generic guide that contains everything for everything [03:23] TonyTheTiger: oh ahah, i forgot, reloading the list needs internet access [03:23] dublued2: i think i had to install some kind of gnome alsa package to have an icon for sound with alsa [03:23] obiwan_, Do you just want to modify the kernel config and then recompile the kernel or do you want to actually modify the kernel? [03:23] thedude42: I believe that the second monitor might have the taskbars, but I see only blackness and a cursor.. if I move a file from the desktop to the the black monitor, it disappears. [03:23] freaklyweirdo: but i would recommend just learning about ubuntu, its easyer to learn other distros aswell then. (www.ubuntupocketguide) a great free ebook [03:23] Hi. Anyone know why I would need to enter my password every time I try to open a window for my non-Linux partitions? [03:23] wtf is this: http://linux.slashdot.org/story/09/11/03/2211231/Some-Early-Adopters-Stung-By-Ubuntus-Karmic-Koala ?? They cant even proof read their article and DONT fix errors after being pointed out. [03:24] veggteppe: i wanna have more contact with my machine. [03:24] how can I find a path for .mplayer/codecs.conf ? [03:24] basix, they are right,. version kkk is horrible [03:24] hmmm [03:24] My laptop cant connect with wired ethernet or wifi to the internet. Please help anyone. [03:24] tonythetiger, how are you here [03:24] obiwan_, the Ubuntu kernel source is in the Synaptic repositories [03:24] basix: since when were people who did news for a living concerned with the authenticity of their statements? [03:24] TonyTheTiger: My last idea is to check out what this guy tried: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1304900 [03:24] Bored :( [03:25] veggteppe: i have some notion about linux, but i wanna fill out my knowledge's wall with more bricks [03:25] w30: but the whole w30?

That should be on Ubuntu.com as a download. [03:27] RealVNC ok thanks [03:27] how do i check which version of ubuntu am I on? [03:27] how do i map a key to launch a custom command in gnome [03:27] ravic: lsb_release -a [03:27] alt + f2 [03:28] I just noticed that all the packages on my system are listed as manually installed.

What is the easiest way to migrate to the new hardware? I have several sites running on the 8.04 and would like to have minimal downtime. [03:31] ziggy: Just like a "deb" is a package for ubuntu, an RPM is a package for Suse or Redhat linux [03:31] a 32bit system can handle how much ram ? [03:31] rictec [03:31] obiwan_: My back is padded, my videos are loaded. I feel great! :) [03:32] wow, nice to hear from you :-) take care and may the force be with you my friend [03:32] depends on whether it's using PAE or not, DeaD_LocK [03:32] DeaD_LocK, about 3.4 gb [03:32] :Dam means i'm wasting 3gb bummer [03:32] hi guys how can i do this command in ubuntu 9.10?

[03:33] Okay thanks :) [03:33] Grelmy: pleae could you answer? i want to know how to compile it, it's my first time compiling a os [03:33] TonyTheTiger: you type commands into Applications>>Accessories.Terminal [03:33] Since Im having a problem with wireless card I want to downgrade to a older version of Ubuntu for my laptop which version do you recommend.. [03:33] Grelmy: should i run make? or gcc? with any flag¿ gcc -a or gcc-bclksjdlfkjs i duno please illustrate me [03:34] Blank__, also depends on how much the MB supports, and not sure on the PAE suport, i need to research that ;-) [03:34] c0ld: have you tried 'sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude --reinstall install bcmwl-kernel-source' [03:34] c0ld: Depends on your computer spec to be honest. If you have ati and broadcom wireless, id recommend 8.04 [03:34] yes [03:34] yes i know Grelmy however that command states the file mentioned doesnt exists so i am asking how i would do that command in 9.10. [03:34] SeaPhor, right you are [03:34] Blank__, but never heard anything about it before [03:34] I have a Atheros [03:34] Well im sorry grasshopper.

Dont just ask for help. [03:37] I suppose Ill start with 9.04 [03:37] and move on down until the problem is non-existant [03:37] ziggy, don't download from a website, just use the software centre [03:37] c0ld: u tried 9.10 ? or u having 9.10 now? [03:37] vnc is bound to be in there [03:37] Im using 9.10 karmic [03:37] Hi all! I'm running Jaunty, and I've noticed that, on the same computer, when I'm booted into Ubuntu, my download speed is ~7mbps, but on the same machine, in Windows 7/XP, the download speed is ~20mbps (this is on wifi). Why is this so? [03:38] I Demand that "Married with Children" gets some golden globe awards and such. [03:38] nevermind, got it [03:38] obiwan_: you realize that would probably take you like 2 weeks to compile? [03:38] what is the difference between & and && in shell scripts? [03:38] and it gives the error when I type in sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [03:38] i've tried installing both the 9.10 alternate and server cds. when it gets to the end, it tried to write grub to the master boot record, but it fails every time. lilo fails, as well. i have to finish the install without a bootloader, and then i'm stuck. [03:38] SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 [03:38] Grelmy: really? [03:38] is there a way to reset the application choices in ubuntu netbook remix netbook-launcher? [03:38] Grelmy: lool haha [03:38] dkulchenko, maybe the wireless card isn't running at full power [03:38] c0ld: hmm, okay. Try to downgrade to 9.04, if that dont work, go 8.04 [03:39] philh: how can i check this? [03:39] philh: yeah i was but he just told me it'd take 2 weeks xd [03:39] dcsst28, only two things i can think of is "virus protection" in the bios, or damaged MBR [03:39] c0ld: 8.04 is lts so i think its abit more "stable" then the other ones. [03:39] c0ld: Why are you cold ? [03:39] yah... I really like 9.10 but it is not working right [03:39] How to end a process? [03:39] dkulchenko, i have no idea, sorry [03:39] ok i downloaded it from the the software centre Philh and all i can do with it is connect to other people with VNC it doesn't give me the option for others to connect to my plat form thro remote desktop anysuggestions [03:39] philh: no problem. i'll look into it [03:39] Grelmy: so karmic koala has been 2 weeks compiling before its release Grelmy ? [03:40] mikeru: && runs the 2nd command if the 1st command returns 0, & runs the 2nd command right away [03:40] obiwan_: Ah but I think they have more than 1 computer working on it. [03:40] marco: ps to list processes, kill "id" . Or "System" "Preferences" "System monitor" [03:40] it has happened on more than one machine. i've only tried it on machines with sata drives. could that be a problem? if so, wouldn't they have thought of that when they developed it? [03:40] ziggy, go to System > Preferences > Remote desktop [03:40] Billiard: interesting... but confusing [03:40] thabks veggteppe [03:40] ziggy, i don't think you even need to install anything for that [03:40] Hey everyone. I just updated to 9.10, but my touchpad on my laptop doesn't work [03:40] Grelmy: heh i can have 4 laptops for one morning, how would it take then? [03:40] Anyone ever try using a HP Color LaserJet 1600 with Ubuntu? [03:40] what keyboard input method should I pick "none" "ibus" or "scim", I'm only using english [03:40] Grelmy: all of thema re core 2 duo with at least 1 gig, some of them 4 gigs [03:41] obiwan_: If you want to compile your whole linux distribution, try Gentoo Linux... that's what it's for... [03:41] obiwan_, look into linux from scratch or maybe gentoo if you like the idea of compiling stuff for no good reason [03:41] can apt-get autoremove delete something I'm actually using? [03:41] Grelmy: but i heard to compile gentoo it's way too hard, there are 6 stages i think, and you have to run commands in between them [03:41] obiwan_: What do you wish to compile ? [03:42] Grelmy: i just know to run 'make' or 'gcc makefile' [03:42] like someprogram built from source that uses a package listed in stuff to remove? [03:42] obiwan_, http://archive.ubuntu.com [03:42] obiwan_, why do you want to compile an entire linux distro if you find things too complicated? [03:42] LinkLonk: ubuntu heheh [03:42] what about Jaunty? [03:42] mikeru: autoremove should only remove stuff that the thing you just removed doesnt need anymore. [03:42] I have a bad entry in /etc/fstab which points to a hard drive which was removed (and also subsequently replaced with another drive with a different filesystem). The system now won't boot, halts on "mountall", says the drive can't be mounted. [03:42] philh: i heard that if you compile it yourself it'll run faster [03:42] How can I get in to fix /etc/fstab? [03:42] obiwan_, did a gentoo user tell you that? [03:42] getdeb.net needs to throw in some .debs for Ubuntu Karmic Koala [03:43] It does offer me a recovery console, but says "read only file system" (can't edit the file) [03:43] Hjanfield: cd /etc/fstab ?:P [03:43] did he offer to funroll your loops? [03:43] philh: nope, in c channel, i asked them aftear reading it in many sites [03:43] how do you change the lock screen in ubuntu 9.04 ? [03:43] obiwan_: however difficult Gentoo is to compile, Ubuntu is probably harder... since Gentoo is meant to be comiled, and the package manager does it for you... while Ubuntu was designed to be compiled by the porgrammers [03:43] obiwan_, it'll make no appreciable difference to you [03:43] philh: they just confirmed me that compiling a source for your exact system will run smoother [03:44] Hjanfield: gedit /etc/fstab [03:44] obiwan_: Well, the base LFS system (Console mode if you wish) will take about a day on a regular computer to compile (Core2Duo or so) Xorg,Gtk+,Gnome and some tools will take a few hours longer, perhaps 4. [03:44] obiwan_, In most cases, the difference is negligible. [03:44] obiwan_: how much smoother? you have a core2duo with 2 gb ram i think you will not notice any difference [03:44] veggteppe: GUI programs kind of don't work when you are in a recovery console and unable to get into a GUI. [03:44] Dead_Lock> CTRL + ALT + L [03:44] ok so then i wn't notice? [03:45] obiwan_, correct [03:45] Hjanfield: oh, nano /etc/fstab [03:45] veggteppe: I repeat: ""read only file system" (can't edit the file)" from the recovery console [03:45] does ubuntu server support virtual machines? [03:45] nano aint a gui program :P [03:45] :No i don't want to lock it i was to change the box thingy where it asks for your password,want to change the theme of it ..... ? [03:45] HJanfield: mount -o remount,rw / [03:45] obiwan_, the whole point to running ubuntu is that its package based distro. You will not notice any difference from a "generic" build and an "optimised" don't listen to those Gentoo guys [03:45] hi all iam already installed ubuntu 9.10 and remastersys not worken on it any help for that p;z [03:45] john> yes [03:45] any way to change lock screen key combination? [03:45] what a disappointment hehe [03:45] like, to windows L? [03:45] meta+L whatever [03:45] The program GIgolo dont let me mount my disk, he say 'Authentication is required', someone can help me with it? [03:45] c0ld: i like jaunty and will probably leave a couple of my machine on jaunty for a while. Hardy Heron 8.04.3 LTS is very stable. karmic +1 (Lucid Lynx) will also be an LTS release (10.04 LTS) so if you choose to go with the 8.04.3 LTS, you'll only need to wait 6 months for the next LTS release. [03:46] im using xubuntu [03:46] so how do I get a service to start on bootup? [03:46] obiwan_: I think you would find this recent article interesting. They compared ubuntu with gentoo, and tried 3 different compiler settings on gentoo, and then tested how fast the programs were: http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7574/1/ [03:46] mikeru: change your password [03:46] Now THAT did it! Thank you, LinkLonk. [03:46] need microphone amplify help - even with it amped all the way up peeps can hardly hear me through skype ! [03:46] HJanfield: Np [03:46] b0w: ... [03:46] any body help me plz [03:46] john> yes the Ubuntu server supports nearly everything [03:46] after all, its linux [03:46] tech-mike, got a micboost option in alsamixer? [03:47] mikeru, System -> Prefs -> Keyboard Shortcuts [03:47] Grelmy: but did they compare a downloaded iso with a source compiled one? [03:47] philh: well i went into the sound prefrences from top right corner of desktop ... and amped it up there [03:47] Ahadiel: thanks! [03:47] tech-mike, or on the switches tab of the gnome volume control panel if it's still the same as 9.04 [03:47] hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop hp dsv2-1010la. walking around the internet I found that is a SATA controller issue, my question is is there a way to pass "retry pmp=0" as a parameter? [03:47] philh: it helped but only a little [03:47] mikeru, Anytime. [03:47] any help here === LinkLonk is now known as TooGreatBindy [03:47] Grelmy: i'm not interested in gentoo vs ubuntu, but main release vs self compiled release [03:48] tech-mike, is there a preferences button on that volume control window? [03:48] obiwan_: in a way, yes, since the ubuntu was downloaded, and the gentoo was source compiled. But there was no scientific control really [03:48] anyway to use the volume control included with karmic with OSS4 [03:48] is there another way to get rid off "ata1: softreset failed" problem? [03:48] ? [03:48] ok Grelmy thanks i'm looking at it now brb eheh [03:48] ? [03:48] I have a webcam lifecam from microsoft, i used cheese app to use it but the display is all green. is there a solution? [03:48] philh: theres a input tab but not another pref button [03:48] obiwan_, the time wasted compiling stuff in gentoo doesn't give you a performance boost that makes it worthwhile [03:48] (pulseaudio sucks on this computer -- OSS4 works soooooo good on this one for some reason...) [03:49] philh: i can run it in background that's no problem [03:49] OSS4 > pulseaudio [03:49] tech-mike, hmm, they've buggered about with it again [03:49] philh: make & hehe [03:49] ok [03:49] Thanks for your time Philh [03:49] philh: ya and in skype its showing pulsaudio [03:49] is there any way to boot two Ubuntu based oses off of a usb drive and both of them have persistent changes? [03:49] philh: so do i not have alsa [03:49] obiwan_, no, you can't it'll zap your machine's performance for days [03:49] hi guys, how do you fix a bad sig for apt-get? [03:49] tech-mike, you have alsa, but pulseaudio is in control of everything [03:49] philh: but if it isn't worthwile then i'll keep with the one i got for now, anyway, in the near future i want to do it, just to LEARN how to do a dist compilation [03:49] I used gentoo for years [03:50] hi, I have a problem whit ata1: softreset failed [03:50] philh: how can i further alsa config ? [03:50] philh: didn't know compiling an os would be soooooo slow hehe [03:50] TonyTheTiger, care to come back, I have a new team member that may can help? [03:50] somedoby has any ideas? [03:50] palomer+1 [03:50] palomer: is it as hard as they say? [03:50] palomer: i use ubuntu and it's pretty easy [03:50] where can I get support for webcam issues? [03:50] (about oss4) [03:50] philh: The fact that you can choose packages could speed up your system and desktop a hundred-fold. [03:50] obiwan_, it isn't _that_ slow, but you wont be able to get any use out of the machine while it happens, and compiling ubuntu would be far more complicated than gentoo [03:51] obiwan_ can i give you an example? [03:51] mikeru: oss4, must be microsoft. [03:51] ok philh [03:51] sure Devastator [03:51] is there any way to boot two Ubuntu based oses off of a usb drive and both of them have persistent changes? [03:51] gentoo isn't hard, but it's annoying [03:51] Mrpeepers310: I don't see any reason why not [03:51] TooGreatBindy: as far as it is open source and it works I'm fine, couldn't care less about it's past. [03:51] and I found debian faster [03:51] marco, have you opened "cheese" to see if it shows there? [03:51] hi to all I have a problem with ata1: softreset failed [03:52] what command can i use to see what drivers are loaded? [03:52] somebodyu can help me? [03:52] tech-mike, alsamixer from the terminal might help [03:52] TonyTheTiger, care to come back, I have a new team member that may can help? [03:52] TonyTheTiger: "sudo lshw" [03:52] obiwan_ dd-wrt is a open-source firmware for linksys routers mostly and has 20gb of source, imagine how much time you will need to compile 20gb of files and transform it in 4mb :P [03:52] seaphor, cheese detects my webcam but the screen is completly green [03:52] Grelmy: each os uses a casper folder [03:52] SeaPhor would love to, unfortunatly i forgot the channel name [03:52] Just got my karma for helping friends use linux..... Karmic boot cd friend monitor on 1st boot [03:52] wow Devastator lol xD [03:52] TonyTheTiger, my nick [03:52] Fried monitor even [03:53] mikeru: LOL, so Microsoft actually made something called "oss4". What a shock!!! :) ... I bet theyll try to call more evil things "*OSS*" [03:53] hey whats up [03:53] I hav ea problem [03:53] Devastator: do you know how big is the source for ubuntu¿ haha [03:53] installing 9.04 [03:53] im tryung /join SeaPhor but it isnt working [03:53] TooGreatBindy: whatever... [03:53] obiwan_ much bigger than 20gb, for sure === dabossbv1 is now known as dabossbv [03:53] Devastator: if 20 g = 4mb, 600 mb= ..... 30 terabytes? haha [03:53] problem related to softreset failed [03:53] mikeru: In a movie called "Swordfish" they even tried to call Linus Thorvalds a terrorist :) [03:53] TonyTheTiger, see PM [03:53] TooGreatBindy: interesting... [03:54] obiwan_ 20g of source, doesn't mean that all will be used === lippy is now known as Guest71924 [03:54] viejotren: is there an actual problem, or just that message? [03:54] mikeru: And all hackers where like evil and doomy of some sort. Except those coding and making Microsoft windows. Those hackers and crackers where apparently good :P [03:54] is an actual problem grelmy [03:55] obiwan_ but was just an example, you can't compare, perhaps ubuntu source isn't bigger than dd-wrt [03:55] I was trying to install [03:55] on my laptop === Guest71924 is now known as Guest75 [03:55] anyone knows how to solve problems with webcams? [03:55] and I got that problem [03:55] TooGreatBindy: and how's this related to oss4? actually, why did you mentioned microsoft? [03:55] hehe Devastator [03:55] anyway, 20 gigs it's really big [03:55] marco: not really no.... [03:55] my disk is 60 hhaa [03:55] i am member of group xx but i can't open the documents or directories that belongs to that group, what can i do? [03:56] rjb: what are the pemissions on the directory? ls -ld directory [03:56] obiwan_ what some really advanced linux users do is to compile their own distro [03:56] mikeru: Government things. Media was confused for a while. Like they so often are. Take the yearly "Influensa" for example. This year its apparenly very dangerous. /Lol [03:56] compiling one package at the time [03:56] hey please one more question, i'd really like to know how to run emacs in terminal, i did sudo apt-get install emacs, but it's graphic, i want the terminal one [03:56] Billiard: drwxrw---- 2 xx xx [03:56] viejotren: have you read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=949593 to see if any of these help? [03:57] TooGreatBindy: =/ I never got sick of influenza, and I live in mexico... [03:57] Billiard: is something wrong? [03:57] Devastator: yeah, i read about that i was interested in making my own one, but it's way hard, i don't know aobut system modules, sound modules and all that [03:57] rjb: how about one of the files you want to read? ls -l file [03:57] i want to install ubuntu-alternate cd with lvm and luks. but i have a problem with luks. my partition are 250mb /boot and tail lvm. i create a volume goup and two logical volume groups eg root and swap. than i want crypt with luks, but i can only crypted the root volume. after this step i get the failure i have a unsecure swap partition. if i crypted the swap partition later, than i get a message there are don`t a root partition? mmmh. : [03:57] ( have somebody a solution? [03:57] I'd like to bring more attention to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/472301 [03:57] obiwan_ i suggest you to learn how to compile kernel first, it's a big step [03:57] Devastator: you just have to do a ls /lib/modules, and you'll see how many modules are there, if i had to choose each one i'd go mad haha [03:57] is there any way to get the fonts in ubuntu looking like windows 7 [03:58] holy balls gvfs is leaking memory like a sieve.... [03:58] mikeru: One problem media/government has with that though is that not so many has died as in the "common" infuensa. 3 people have died in Sweden for example (All of them would have died anyhow) /Heart failure/cancer etc. [03:58] rasstar: get the same fonts and use them?? [03:58] rasstar, nick the win7 fonts from somewhere? [03:58] Devastator: i was told compiling kernel is for kiddies, and that there are much mor eimportant things to do than building kernels, so i left it . Anyway i don't know anything about kernels, i just know it's the os brain [03:58] poo [03:58] Mooh [03:58] i already installed the fonts but firefox and everything just doesn't look as cris and clear as windows [03:59] anyway. GDM forces screen resolution to 1280x768 (simulated, actually it is 1280x720). I want the login screen to be 1280x720. I've already set a modeline with 1280x720 and also set it as the preferred mode [03:59] obiwan_, compiling entire distros, unless you actually need to, is for kiddies [03:59] anyway I can change gdm's behavior toward my screen? [03:59] Is there an adobe Creative Suite CS4 clone? [03:59] obiwan_ i used to compile kernels for myself, that can make system lighter, but it's just one variable :P [03:59] philh: not for me, i'd really like to know, i like to know how unix works [03:59] philh: but i know i must start on the basycs, and then go for harder things [04:00] mikeru: Itll be to you as youre to it, regarding the X-system. [04:00] Resolution [04:00] obiwan_, indeed, configure and compile the kernel first, like Devastator suggested [04:00] doltek: there is gimp, for image editing, similar to PS [04:00] obiwan_: read a book [04:00] when should i use apt-get clean or autoclean what exactly are they for? [04:00] obiwan_ i don't know yet how to make a good kernel, but a basic one is easy [04:01] Autoclean removes unneeded package files [04:01] doltek, gimp, inkscape, scribus, kompozer, kino, kdenline what else is in CS4? [04:01] Devastator: but there's so many options in compiling kernel, i wouldn't know which one to choose in each step, a really really step by step, option by option guide would be awesome , if i find one anyday i may try to compile it [04:01] Billard: -rwxr----- 1 xx xx this one worked fine why? [04:01] obiwan_, so why do you think that compiling the whole distro, including kernel, is easier than compiling just the kernel? [04:02] zenlunatic: yeah but there are many oens i need to read, the c language, unix, computer architecture, i don't know which to start with [04:02] obiwan_ if i remember correctly it's: tar -zxvf linux-VERSION-HERE.tar.gz && make menuconfig, then select modules and stuff, save, make dep, make clean, make, make install [04:02] rjb: it has group read rights [04:03] "Watch out for the Hottening" Make you sick it can. [04:03] Devastator, depends on if the kernel is compressed or if its just a tarball [04:03] rjb: to allow the group to read a file use, chmod g+r file [04:03] Billiard: the another directory too [04:03] philh: i thought so philh , cause i didn't want to tweak anything, just download the exact same code canonical used and to type something like make or gcc -someflags ubuntumakefile hehe [04:03] obiwan_, but if it were that easy, what would you have learned? [04:03] Devastator: yeah but thre are many things to choose from Devastator [04:04] back- so i checked the integrity of the cd and its fine [04:04] obiwan_, you're wasting your time [04:04] syn-ack i think for ubuntu you can use "apt-get install linux-image-...." [04:04] but im still not getting the desktop when i boot up ubuntu 9.10 [04:04] Devastator, you sure can. you can even just install the source [04:04] obiwan_ don't you want to know unix? you need to know the devices first, you only know linux if you know devices [04:04] Devastator: for example, i read one day that you can choose if the kernel will accept more than 4 gigs by changing an option in the kernel compilation, and there must be hundreds more options, i simply couldn't choose i'm not an expert [04:04] i got the live cd to work [04:04] or just build the source package? [04:04] however, obiwan_ is either trolling or he's just wanting to waste his time [04:04] obiwan_: Obitubu! [04:04] im using an amd64 processor [04:05] not sure if that helps in solving the problem [04:05] my pidgin won't start, please help [04:05] hahh TooGreatBindy :P [04:05] hello I have a bcm5751 ethernet interface sudo lshw shows that the driver is tg3 however its not working, please help. [04:05] DesertEagle, QUICK DO CPR! [04:05] :) [04:05] DesertEagle, what happens when you run it from a terminal? [04:05] Billiard: why i can't access the group's directories? [04:05] DesertEagle: what are you trying to do and what happens instead? are you wanting it to auto-start? or just when you launch it from applications->internet->pidgin? [04:06] Hail Baby!!! :) [04:06] hi everybody. I've got a "little" problen with my computer since the last update : My touchpad doesn't work anymore, and, less important, ubuntu is really slow (slower than windows :( ). Can anyone help me (I've got a laptop Hp compaq presario CQ61) [04:06] syn-ack: why you think im wastin my time? [04:06] philh this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/309006/ [04:06] rjb: do they have group read set? chmod g+r dir [04:06] syn-ack i can't remember all the stuff, is make-kpackage still used? or something like that, to make a .deb from source [04:06] Billiard: yes they have [04:06] Ademan: it segfaults on launch [04:06] anyone here can help me out with dhcp server? i'm connected to the internet with my wifi and my dhcp server is for eth0 [04:06] when i plug in eth0 it disconnects my wifi [04:06] hello I have a bcm5751 ethernet interface sudo lshw shows that the driver is tg3 however its not working, please help. [04:06] Ademan: "Illegal instruction (core dumped)" more specifically [04:06] Billiard: it says cd: michael/: Permission denied [04:06] syn-ack has been a while since i don't use linux day by day.. [04:07] obiwan_, Because, there is a point to using a package based distro.. and you're wanting to go against the grain [04:07] rjb: show me the permissions [04:07] dun dun dun [04:07] Billiard: drwxr----- 2 xx xx [04:07] syn-ack: i don't really know what a package basd distro mean, don't all the distros work that way? you want something, you get the package and install it [04:07] Billiard: did i miss something? [04:08] syn-ack: what distro isn't package based? [04:08] Redhat [04:08] obiwan_, Gentoo [04:08] rjb: to cd, i think you need execute bit set too, chmod g+rx dir [04:08] Slack [04:08] hey whats 10.4 called? [04:08] obiwan_ i don't know if philh or syn-ack will agree but to compile a kernel you need to know a lot from your machine, chipset models, manufacturers etc, and not only from your machines, but machines in general [04:08] So does anyone know where i can get A ubuntu that will work with an XO laptop??? [04:08] Devastator, thats right [04:08] syn-ack: but gentoo is also package based isn't it? i read that it has emerge a kind of apt-get to download packages [04:08] obiwan_: The code is always packaged. [04:08] oh also, my conky has a weird black bar at the bottom that disappears when i move it, any clues? this started after the upgrade [04:08] !10.04 | i_is_broke [04:08] i_is_broke: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l02bhwofEqw for announcement video. [04:09] if you dont know what youre doing you can break a lot of things [04:09] DesertEagle: wow, that's not good... pidgin shouldn't be segfaulting... [04:09] IdleOne, thanks [04:09] PregnaHoe :) [04:09] couldnt remember [04:09] I am new to ubuntu, just want to know how I can fix my flash in firefox. WHen trying to play a flash game. the screen "flashes" while im playing. It works, just annoying [04:09] salve [04:09] need help [04:09] Devastator: that's why i keep away from compiling by now [04:09] quick poll: which do you like better? pidgin or empathy and why? [04:09] Billiard: you are right, sorry and thank you for your help [04:09] Minor: do you have Sun java installed? [04:09] syn-ack i was scared yesterday, was messing with memory addresses :| [04:09] Devastator, for it to be worthwhile, yes, i compiled kernels years ago with little knowledge, and it worked, but i didn't really learn much from it [04:09] Ademan: yeh... thanks to the upgrade :( i've tried removing the settings dir and I purged and resinstalled... still nothing [04:09] Kopete [04:09] Could anyone help me?? im having problems downloading/installing the AVI driver i need... [04:09] hahaha are you guys still arguing about compiling?? [04:10] I was away for like 30 minutes [04:10] yeah Grelmy haha :lol: [04:10] The_reaper489, No just the adobe_flash installer that it prompted me for. [04:10] really? 30m? [04:10] wow hha [04:10] JJman6, why Kopete? I've never tried it [04:10] Minor: you can fix it simply like this. go to your synaptic package manager [04:10] for msn server i use mercury messenger [04:10] Minor: Search Adobe flash [04:10] sudo lshw says network DISABLED, how can i change this? [04:10] COULD SOMEONE HELP ME PLZZ... or maybe direct me to a more responsive chat room? [04:11] philh i know what you mean, you know how to compile and make everything working, but don't know exactly if there's something you don't actually needs [04:11] Minor: reinstall [04:11] hello all! [04:11] brocgiddens: Its KDE based, (i run Kubuntu) i like it better than Kopete anyway! Its got a few features that Pidgin didn't support (at least at the time perhaps tahts different) such as video chat [04:11] brocgiddens: kopete is for kde. I would use pidgin for ubuntu [04:11] Devastator, precisely [04:11] Scott57Newguy: How about you actually state what your problem is? [04:11] i need help too who can help me!? [04:11] cronide: Now, MSN is for the litterally impaired right ? [04:11] Scott57Newguy: what is your issue [04:11] Scott57Newguy, i'll try to help you [04:11] hi everybody.

Can anyone help me (I've got a laptop Hp compaq presario CQ61) [04:11] Minor: synaptic package manager is in System->Administration [04:11] The_reaper489, I have removed and installed it already. It did not work [04:12] Minor: then you are missing a plugin for Mozilla [04:12] kubuntuser, can't you use kde apps in gnome? [04:12] The_reaper489: i've always been told the flashplugin_nonfree works teh best, but it's been years since i used gui on ubuntu and fiddle with flash [04:12] philh i learn a rule in the beginning of using linux, "don't f*ck with package manager", so don't try to compile things by yourself in distros that aren't for it [04:12] The_reaper489, which plugin? [04:13] At least you guys can get hte update. Mine won't update! It bombs out when DL the last 4 packages [04:13] iarp, minor: you should try that [04:13] Im trying to download a proprietary driver i need for my AVI car... (so that i cna use things like Desktop Cube and such) but the issue is it keeps FREEZEING Up (not making an progress) its done this with the system hardware driver, and with EnvyNG... (ive rebooted many times lol) please someone help me [04:13] brocgiddens: you can. However, it takes up much more memory and hd space [04:13] Minor: look at the ones you are missing (the ones not in green) and look at the description [04:13] i tried to install fglrx driver... bad thing. i want restore my open source driver, but right now i can only do it throug the error window at begin, and restarting...and now eth0 doesnt work anymore too [04:13] ne body with a possible sollution? [04:13] minor: there should be one that is either an update or a fix [04:13] sorry for my english but i'm in the other side of the ocean :D [04:13] kubuntuser, HD space isn't a major issue but memory?

[04:14] brocgiddens: It has to load kde libraries [04:14] AyCarumba: look at gpart [04:14] Devastator, well, when i started using linux i had a modem, and a slow one at that, not to mention that package management on mandrake was nothing like as useful as apt is, so compiling things was necessary at times, and it still is if you want to stay on the bleeding edge, but you need to understand how to use --prefix to avoid screwing things up [04:14] AyCarumba: gpart does alot of stuff [04:14] The_reaper489, thanks [04:14] heh... mandrake [04:14] !gparted > AyCarumba [04:14] AyCarumba, please see my private message [04:15] * DesertEagle remembers the day...

I was using spacebar to move my WoW char, so this is very annoying. [04:45] can someone help me figure out why I can't ssh into my own ubuntu box? [04:46] I just got it installed [04:46] and I thought I configured it correctly [04:46] CreativeEmbassy, what error do you get? [04:46] I'll do anything! [04:46] CreativeEmbassy: what error do you get? [04:46] CreativeEmbassy: just connec refused? [04:46] "ssh: Could not resolve hostname 10.55.55.2:22222: nodename nor servname provided, or not known [04:46] " [04:46] Twak -- are you using a touchpad? I assumed this was related to my touchpad, maybe it is more global than that. [04:46] AyCarumba: use gparted [04:47] just try ssh 10.55.55.2 [04:47] hmm, try disabling the "disable touchpad when typing" feature. [04:47] post ur sshd_config to http://paste.ubuntu.com [04:47] 10.55.55.2 is the static IP I set up for the box, and I thought I had it set to 22222 as an alternate port [04:47] ok [04:47] It's rather badly implemented... it hangs the mouse even on arrow keys and spacebar. [04:47] ctmjr, No. Thread here with a screenshot: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8237659, it says mount: only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on /media/sdb1 [04:47] clinton@griffith ~/src/conductor (new-week-view)↑ $ ssh 10.55.55.2 [04:47] ssh: connect to host 10.55.55.2 port 22: Connection refused [04:47] lemme run the sshd config [04:47] CreativeEmbassy: & it's not a firewall thing, right? [04:47] and I'll post it [04:47] k [04:48] I have no idea if it's a firewall thing :-p but I'm on the internal network [04:48] None of the touchpad control panels will load -- have tried all the /etc/X11... /etc/hal... /usr/share/hal... stuff [04:48] adrn: yeah, it's a touchpad [04:48] ardn im using a touchpad ... no such problems on my end ... (i.e. no pausing after space, shift, ctrl, Win and h,j,k,o and 6) [04:48] CreativeEmbassy, is 22222 even a valid port? [04:48] adrn: don't have a mouse on me right now [04:48] CreativeEmbassy, well also open up the port on your router [04:48] that won't matter on his LAN [04:48] im curious is there any way to send a message to a gui user from the terminal? [04:48] I opened up the external port, but notfoo is right [04:48] mvsn: wall [04:48] Tiggers: ok, now what does 'sudo lsusb; sudo lsusb -t' produce? use pastebin again. [04:48] ssh localhost [04:49] Blue1: thank you === patrick is now known as Guest97920 [04:49] mvsn: ctrl+d to terminate [04:49] ssh localhost gives me connection refused [04:49] is that a sign it's running on port 22? [04:49] CreativeEmbassy: do you have the openssh-server installed? [04:49] adrn:it pauses as soon as the key is pressed, but continue half a second later, even if the key is still pressed [04:49] also, where do I get sshd_config? [04:49] tc111: http://paste.ubuntu.com/309141/ [04:50] lemme doublecheck, I should! [04:50] Tiggers: one sec... again... [04:50] CreativeEmbassy: is there something running when you type this: ps -e | grep sshd [04:50] sammich, you have a dir in /media called sdb1 already? [04:50] (on the ssh server) [04:50] is it NORMAL to experience a whole lot of weird stuff once having updated to Karmic? [04:50] what is npviewer.bin it's killing my system [04:50] yup [04:51] Tiggers: i also need the output from 'sudo lsusb' please... [04:51] 1410 ? 00:00:00 sshd [04:51] CreativeEmbassy: if you do have openssh-server installed. type: cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config ~/Desktop/output.txt [04:51] i.e. older kernel versions not being able to run alsamixer, and no dri available, etc? [04:51] heyyyyyyylp: it's an image viewer [04:51] So some of what Iam seeing may be hardware-- may need to unplug touchpad and comment out all refs to synaptic in configs I can find. [04:51] & past ethat output.txt to -> http://paste.ubuntu.com [04:51] oh, and no input devices present except what Xorg sees? [04:51] whoops [04:51] sure, one sec [04:51] it suddenly consumed all my cpu and everything is grinding to a halt, i wasn't even viewing a picture [04:51] tc111: http://paste.ubuntu.com/309143/ [04:51] cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config >> ~/Desktop/output.txt [04:51] forgot the >> [04:52] Tiggers: thx...

[05:24] hans: Yes [05:24] Tiggers: intrepid might if its an older card that's been dropped... have you downloaded a copy of karmic yet? [05:24] firefox 3.5 [05:24] Jordan_U: thanks [05:24] hans: np [05:24] Karmic didn't see it [05:24] scunizi: firefox [05:25] ctmjr, I do have read write access. I just can't mount/unmount. [05:25] cdw32: if you're using karmic then 3.5 is already install.. why install it again? [05:25] fooj: how do i do this? [05:25] hans that did not work it says it cant open it [05:25] *installed [05:25] Tiggers: also, just a suggestion, i find that i get much better performance from my P4 3GHz HT with the HT turned off in the BIOS (1 - 3.0GHz CPU vs. 2 - 1.5GHz CPUs) [05:25] i am not on karmic im on hardy [05:25] Bobo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingRunPackage [05:25] Bobo uzip he tar.gz file first [05:25] i can not install karmic yet.. [05:25] HT? [05:26] Barridus: --one-file-system for rsync [05:26] i can't mount my ipod in karmic, anyone have any ideas? [05:26] android_ani_ what file is that? [05:26] Nevermind I just didnt have the cam setup right in audio options. [05:26] Hello I've updated to karmic koala and my sound is acting up, it doesn't work after restarting alsa utils, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. but now it won't work at all, i've tried loggoing out and back in (can't restart because i'm busy) does anyone know of this problem [05:26] To state why I need to try a reinstall of grub: I did a fresh install of karmic-desktop and it won't boot. All previous ubuntu versions have been in a multi-boot environment, np. [05:26] see the extension of the file the you downloaded [05:26] cdw32: ah.. you'd be better off looking in launchpad ppa's for an ubuntu deb.. otherwise the FF site or ubuntuforums.org might have more info. [05:26] Jordan_U, ok i'll try that now and see, thanks [05:26] cdw32, right click on the file and extract it, then locate the executable in the resulting directory [05:26] Barridus: np [05:26] cdw32 you can just unzip the files into a directory, then there should be a file inside called 'firefox' or soemthign like that .... just run that file and then it'll work .... [05:26] ctmjr It might be working now. I am going to restart and see. Back in a minute. [05:27] johnfg: What happens when you try to boot? [05:27] And what's used instead of grub.conf or menu.lst isn't seen by the grub responsible for multiboot. [05:27] Jordan_U, Nothing, just the grub line, then one return/enter, then hangs. [05:27] Never had a hint of this in anything previous to karmic. [05:28] Tiggers: HT = Hyper-Threading or Hyper-Threaded... makes an operating system think there are 2 CPU 'cores' instead of just 1 CPU... its a trick, there really is only 1 core. was useful when os's didn't use so much horsepower. [05:28] iarp; scunizi: Thanks for your help [05:28] hans i went to the link it seems to be working cheers man [05:28] yeah, it came to me a second after I typed it [05:28] schnork-7: np :) .. [05:28] its late here [05:28] does anyone know the cli command to suspend karmic .... gnome-power-cmd 'suspend' isnt working for me anymore .. [05:28] schnork-7: it was the syn program? [05:28] johnfg: Interesting, try asking in #grub ( and so you know, karmic uses grub2 which uses grub.cfg and is all that they support in #grub ) [05:28] ok. I have other question. In Hardy, my video quality is really poor. Videos buffer and are choppy abt best. do you think this will be resolved if i upgrade to karmic [05:29] cdw32: what kind of video card? [05:29] cdw32: What graphics card and what video player? [05:29] Hello I've updated to karmic koala and my sound is acting up, it doesn't work after restarting alsa utils, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. but now it won't work at all, i've tried loggoing out and back in (can't restart because i'm busy) does anyone know of this problem [05:29] Hey! It's supposed to be harder to get hardware to work with linux kernels, not easier! [05:29] You guys need to fix this! [05:29] cdw32, and what are you using to play them? [05:29] cdw32, hardy? try intrepid for a start [05:29] iarp:Oh, no. I don't find a solution, so I reinstalled win7 from ubuntu [05:29] Jordan_U, wow that was great! don't know how i overlooked that flag (if it was in the docs i read anyways). thanks, you just saved me a ton of grief [05:29] schnork-7: gotchya [05:29] vtec: right click the audio icon ,then select the device tab ,try another config [05:29] philh: hardy is LTS.... good until the next release [05:29] hulu and youtube and some vids for Biology [05:29] iarp: So know I'm able to download and burn a new ubuntu [05:30] Barridus: np, it was in the ( very long ) man page, I had the advantage of knowing what to look for :) [05:30] scunizi: i am not sure i have a mini 12 [05:30] scunizi, define good [05:30] fooj: what device tab do you mean hardware? [05:30] it's archaic and painful to use [05:30] stable, maybe [05:30] philh: good as in stable functional etc.. the next release is also LTS and will be good for 3 years on updates.. [05:31] vtec: yes [05:31] cdw32: lspci will tell you typically [05:31] cdw32: Youtube will likely be smoother with karmic on a mac mini since it uses intel graphics [05:31] hello. I wanted to come on here and tell everyone that I am one of the few that installed Karmic and have not yet had any problems. [05:31] Jordan_U, Ubuntu installed grub silently, without asking me for any feedback, and it still wouldn't boot. [05:31] fooj: there is only one option and that is "internal audio" [05:31] scunizi, and it'll be lumbered with whatever outdated major versions of packages are included at release, in the same way, it's a terribly situation [05:31] Jordan_U: i have a dell mini 12 [05:31] so intrepid should be first then go to karmic [05:31] hi all [05:31] philh: some of us don't need the "latest" all the time.. just the stability. [05:32] Jordan_U, Did you see my question: does my install cd have a rescue mode? I thought I'd try reinstalling grub. [05:32] cdw32, no, jaunty after that [05:32] hans it says that i need to run it as supper user so how do i run it as super user [05:32] i m having a lot of problem using ubuntu [05:32] oh wow [05:32] i just can connet the internet [05:32] scunizi, some of us maybe, but very few would settle for it [05:33] philh i can do them with a usb boot correct [05:33] cdw32: if you have a seperate /home partition then you can jump directly to the latest with a fresh install saving your /home intact [05:33] johnfg: Did you use the liveCD or the alternate CD? The liveCD is one big full fearured rescue mode in itself :) [05:33] vtec: is there a listbox under it [05:33] hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllpppppppppppppp [05:33] heh [05:33] i need urgent help [05:33] cdw32, you can, or you can press the upgrade button in the update manager [05:33] scunizi: i have no idean what that means [05:33] highway: try elaborating first. [05:33] cdw32, you'll need to change some settings in synaptic before that button will appear, though [05:34] ctmjr, Restarted. Plugged in external. Auto-mounted. However still popped up the error message. Have read/write access. [05:34] hans i fixed it never mind ;) [05:34] philh i have been doing that but nothing ever happens [05:34] i cant connect the internet usingthe live cd [05:34] I downloaded and burned the liveCD, but didn't install from live; I installed from the cd menu. [05:34] whta should i do [05:34] by default lts releases don't get that upgrade option until the next lts is out [05:34] philh: "very few would settle?" an opinion that can't be backed up.. better in ubuntu-offtopic [05:34] Jordan_U, Does that sentence make sense to you in what I did? [05:34] cdw32: Note that you can't upgrade directly to karmic [05:34] scunizi, which gimp version is in lts at the moment? [05:34] hey all, i have a question about the drive manager: is it possible to add a partition the another drive that isn't mounted? [05:35] johnfg: Yes [05:35] anyone an expert on pulseaudio? [05:35] timClicks, only in removing it [05:35] Jordan_U: i tried updating to wht ever is above hardy but can not [05:35] I want to run firefox and open yahoo.com from the terminal... I tried firefox < www.yahoo.com.....but it did not work [05:35] Does anyone have trouble clicking on flash? [05:36] philh: an older one.. 2.45 .. but don't try to use that to make a point about an opinion [05:36] fooj: yes it's set to analog stereo duplex [05:36] philh: ;) [05:36] joljam: firefox www.yahoo.com [05:36] ok how do I resume a do-release-upgrade, it terminated on me a [05:36] johnfg: Boot the LiveCD and choose the "try ubuntu without any changes" option to boot to a full desktop. From there you can re-install grub, though I don't think that will help [05:36] ok thanks [05:36] wow scunizi the filth you have to deal with these days... seems some go looking to provoke [05:37] i seem to have killed its ability to detect my soundcard [05:37] Does anybody here own Dell Studio 15(1555) laptop ? [05:37] SeaPhor: you noticed that ;) [05:37] hello, I have two packages listed under local/obsolete in synaptic: tzdata and tzdata-java. If I try to remove them zillions of packages are removed as well. How can I resolve this issue? I do not want any obsolote packages [05:37] Jordan_U, Do you think it matters how I installed? I.e., should I try to install while being booted from the liveCD? [05:37] johnfg: No, it makes no difference ( it's the same installer ) [05:37] hey all, i have a question about the drive manager: is it possible to add a partition the another drive that isn't mounted? [05:37] johnfg: You can try installing grub legacy [05:38] scunizi, i ran lts for a long time, it was a painful experience towards the end, if it works for you, great, but don't claim that it's "good" until the next release, support for the apps shipped with it will be harder and harder to come by [05:38] :( [05:38] johnfg: But before you do that you should really ask in #grub [05:38] tc111: thanks for the help [05:38] sammich, run this ls -la /media/sdb1 [05:38] my distro upgrade won't finish [05:38] help! [05:38] hi! [05:38] Tiggers: sorry i couldn't do more... nite. [05:38] later [05:38] pls hlelp me! [05:38] radar1976: what happens? [05:38] SeaPhor: must have hit a sensitive button [05:39] i can connect to the internet using ubuntu 9.10 live cd [05:39] i have a dsl connection [05:39] what should i do? [05:39] scunizi, must have, clearly [05:39] pls hlp! [05:39] it says there is no new release [05:39] but the upgrade didn't complete [05:39] highway: what is the problem? [05:40] vtec: then try another one util it effected [05:40] i cant connetct to the internet [05:40] ctmjr, ok. what should I do with that? [05:40] cdw32, can you look in software sources for me and see if there's an option for Release upgrade in the updates tab? [05:40] highway: have you looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkDevices [05:40] what is the version direclty above hardy [05:40] cdw32, intrepid [05:40] philh thanks [05:41] what should I do if I got this in coding android apps? Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect [05:41] it started to download the files to do the upgrade, but I canceled it because I needed to install an updated first...now I can't continue the upgrade [05:41] cdw32: they are alphabetical.. after intrepid.. jaunty.. karmic [05:41] im having real problems with my networking in ubuntu [05:41] cdw32, codenames are alphabetical, version numbers are year+month [05:41] everytime i boot into the new ubuntu it asks for my password it starts to load then it goes back to the login screen for a password again. it takes 5-6 attempts to let me in and i cannot seem to solve it, can anyone suggest anything [05:41] scunizi, how does one not see the joinings and leavings in xchat, got someone asking me...? [05:42] philh scunizi thanks! what is the version for intrepid...i am having trouble finding it [05:42] does anyone know how to unlock a hdd through usb. Its my xbox hard drive i know the master password but need a program to unlock it [05:42] hello! how can i know the name of my localadress? its weird because when i do netstat -a it says BACKTRACK i dont know if im being backtracked heheh or thats the name i set up [05:42] SecularistClassW: have ya reinstalled ubuntu? [05:42] I think tzdata was replaced by some other package. Does anybody know which package that might be? [05:42] cdw32, 8.10 [05:42] SecularistClassW: is that the actual release or the beta? [05:43] thankss [05:43] sammich, who is it owned by does it say root root for everything? [05:43] cdw32, did you find the software sources dialogue? [05:43] ctmjr, yes root across the board [05:43] gartral and polandchris, i got it from the update . i had 9.04 before . is that a problem? [05:43] help me!!! I need to get this updated.. [05:43] philh where would that be located? ubuntu.com [05:43] hello! how can i know the name of my localadress? its weird because when i do netstat -a it says BACKTRACK i dont know if im being backtracked heheh or thats the name i set up [05:44] cdw32, System > Administration > Software sources here, but i'm on 9.04 [05:44] SecularistClassW: updates are almost universally failtastic, the only garenteeable way to not come out with borked system is a fresh install.. :\ [05:44] !netsplit [05:44] things may be in a different location for you :-\ [05:44] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [05:44] i was just thinking that we hadn't had a good split for a while [05:45] gartral, when you say fresh install do you mean a format, or can i just copy over the top with a .iso burn? [05:45] sammich, do this sudo chmod 777 /media/sdb1 [05:45] SecularistClassW: format.. meaning you have to backup what you want to save [05:45] philh found it [05:45] cdw32, well done [05:45] k jtz === john is now known as jtz [05:46] is tzdata really obsolete? [05:46] hello! how can i know the name of my localadress? its weird because when i do netstat -a it says BACKTRACK i dont know if im being backtracked heheh or thats the name i set up [05:46] sweet [05:46] b0w-laptop wpa_supplicant[1013]: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS <-------------- i got that on the syslog [05:46] gartral, is there anyway i can go back to 9.04 and roll back without formatting? [05:46] philh i remember before my software sources screen was a little diffrent. like it was missing some options.. [05:46] any one know of a program that will unlock my hard drive through usb? [05:47] SecularistClassW: unfortuently not without breaking more software [05:47] philh since then i had sent my computer back for maint. and they reloaded hardy [05:47] I'm hoping someone can help me figure out why dhclient is ignoring responses... here's what happens: http://paste.ubuntu.com/309172/ [05:47] b0w: try the hostname command? [05:47] cdw32, who's doing maintenance for you? is hardy a requirement? [05:48] it just gets stuck in a loop [05:48] dell [05:48] no it is not [05:48] Hello there [05:48] i'm about to install ubuntu [05:48] philh i used my computer for school [05:48] philh i sent it back to dell [05:48] but I don't want to overwrite my Win XP installation [05:48] Dual boot. [05:48] ffffffffff: yeah my hostname is bow-laptop i dont know why it says BACKTRACK im a lil nbervous because backtrack is usally used by "hackids" heheh any idea? [05:49] will the "Use the largest continuous free space" install it in the unpartitioned space?? [05:49] hackids? [05:50] i left 20GB unpartitioned when I installed XP.. how do i install ubuntu into that? [05:50] ares6231: Yes [05:50] ok thanks! [05:50] ares6231: np [05:50] ctmjr, done. not sure if it did anything [05:50] I got a question. [05:50] philh i tried to upgrade before but fail, got frustrated, and left it alone [05:51] anyone here knows a lil bit of linux security that can help me out with something i think my computer its being used by someone else [05:51] cdw32, ah, what failed/ [05:51] srry I had to deal with the kids...did anyone have a message for me to assist me [05:51] b0w: what makes you think that? [05:51] why do you think that, b0w? [05:51] i did [05:51] b0w: what makes you say that? [05:51] how can i adjust my fan speeds in ubbuntu? [05:52] ubuntu [05:52] philh; should i be doing something iwth the software sources [05:52] well i made the netstat -a command and on localadrees it says BACKTRACK and a lot of tcp connections to different ips [05:52] that means you're on the internet. [05:52] cdw32, look for a release upgrade subsection [05:52] in the updates tab [05:53] lol, netstat will show all current connections, including those you initiate [05:53] you should be able to make it show all distro upgrades, not just lts upgrades [05:53] Welcome to computers b0w [05:53] cdw32: by default LTS releases only offer upgrades to other LTS releases. [05:53] Larvae: it doesnt have to do anything with the BackTrack linux security release used to literally hack systems? === Larvae is now known as Whollut [05:53] Nopez0rs. [05:53] sammich, does this still show root ls -la /media/sdb1 [05:53] cdw32, the question really is what compelling reasons do you have for upgrading, what aspects of your linux experience are causing your problems? [05:54] philh: they only thing there is automatic upgrade options like when to check, notify and run in backround [05:54] cdw32: this is a Dell with Ubuntu pre-installed? [05:54] ctmjr, yes. [05:54] mneptok: yes [05:54] philh video quality [05:54] So, can I download all the linux add-ons from Windows and put them on when I boot into Ubuntu? [05:54] cdw32: if you want to upgrade, get a Jaunty ISO and get rid of unused disk partitions. [05:54] has anyone run into issues with dhclient ignoring server responses... any suggestions? I'm at a loss here... I have a paste of what dhclient does [05:54] cdw32, that's a pain, i guess those options have moved [05:55] Whollut: are you sure? [05:55] mneptok: i have no idea what that is [05:55] cdw32: the Dells have partitions that you will not need once you upgrade. [05:55] philh i see [05:55] b0w: pretty sure. If nothing else is happening you need to calm down. [05:55] mneptok: this will sound bad, but what is a partition [05:55] i believe scunizi is running lts though, maybe he can help you [05:55] How do I turn off the splash screen in Karmic? [05:55] yeason -> go ahead and paste it, include what are in /var/lib/dhcp3/*.leases too [05:55] Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php) does not work in the new ubuntu... ;( [05:55] sammich, well am at a loss try posting your problem again and maybe someone will pick up on it [05:55] *facepaw* [05:56] * Viking667 blinks. What splash screen? [05:56] Whollut: ok my question is why in localadress it says BACKTRACK [05:56] b0w: so? [05:56] philh its? [05:56] b0w: i see nothing wrong with that [05:56] cdw32: your hard disk it cut up into chunks, like a pie. each chunk is a partition. Dell puts partitions on the drive you will not need, and you can gain ~3GB of space by deleteing them. [05:56] cdw32, LTS [05:56] here's the paste of dhclient http://paste.ubuntu.com/309172/ [05:56] ctmjr, thanks for the effort. I got the file I really needed. I'll bump the forums post tomorrow I guess. Sleep calls. [05:57] theres some files in that directory, all empty [05:57] hello, perhaps, someone knows how I can limit numbers of static address on the interface? [05:57] philh [05:57] thanks [05:57] what shall i do to replace ubuntu logo on gdm? [05:57] ... that rather depends upon you not ever needing the contents of the hidden partitions [05:57] cdw32, the hardy release is a long term service release, meaning it isn't configured to receive upgrades until the next LTS release is out [05:57] mneptok: how would one go about that [05:57] Whollut: hehehe well maybe you dont know what BackTrack is thats why. welcome to computers :) [05:57] cdw32: install from CD media or USB key. [05:57] philh which is 10.4 i believe [05:57] dhclient will just keep doing that too, it never binds to the address... (if thats the right term) [05:57] sammich, ok good luck === PhatLinez is now known as TheeMahn [05:58] !who | yeason [05:58] yeason: 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 :) [05:59] cdw32, indeed, so if you can wait that long, or find other solutions to your problems, it may be easier to wait for it [05:59] ubottu: my bad... [05:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about my bad... [05:59] heh [05:59] ok so who do I get the distro upgrade completed??? [05:59] cdw32, what kind of video quality issues are you experiencing? [06:00] i have NONE in 8,04 btw [06:00] philh well the video and sudio do not match up and the video is choppy [06:00] I am getting no sound in karmic , other than grrrr , my configuration using aplay -l is HDA ATI SB , ALC662 . [06:00] cdw32, what are you using for video playback? [06:01] philh at first i thought it was the wireless conncetion so i hard wired..same this [06:01] n8tuser: here's the paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/309172/, dhclient will keep repeating but never complete. In that directory are four files, two each for wireless and hardwire. [06:01] do you see the same problems with vlc and mplayer or just totem? [06:01] oh, not flash video? [06:01] so for some reason, videos dont play (in totem, mplayer, or kmplayer). it shows the first frame and just stops. its as if it were paused. when i hit the space bar, it skips to the next frame and stays paused. i dunno whats happening. any ideas? [06:01] did Exaile music player in Karmic loose its graphic equaliser? [06:01] philh it is internet vids...from hulu youtube and this website for my class vids [06:02] philh, cdw32 said on youtubeetc [06:02] yeason -> which nic is active? use the corresponding file for it to paste [06:02] philh yes [06:02] philh, cdw32 said on youtube etc. [06:02] SeaPhor, i caught that the first time, thanks [06:03] cdw32, i haven't yet managed to get acceptable performance out of flash myself, sorry [06:03] #ubuntu-es [06:03] apparently not, that was a half hour ago [06:03] SeaPhor, the first time you restated it [06:03] SeaPhor, are you ok? [06:03] philh: and i tried to update my flash, but it is not working [06:04] hmm.. its working in vlc media player. guess i'll just have to use that [06:04] Any Dell Studio 15(1555) laptop owners ? [06:04] anyone know of a program that will help unlock my hard drive through usb? [06:05] levon2012: unlock? [06:05] philp i dl it and tried to install but package manager said it falied bc of dependencies.. [06:05] levon2012, what u mean by "unlock" [06:06] philh then i did sudo apt-get install -f installed nut [06:06] but [06:06] Hello, I have a sony Vaio that keeps cause a kernel panic whenever it enters hibernate [06:07] levon2012, have you tried Storage Device Manager? [06:07] philh it was a .deb file... [06:07] lepban: WTF ? [06:07] right. I need to ask something. How the heck do I connect from one machine to another machine using X forwarding? (i.e. XDMCP) [06:08] sobersabre: what is your issue [06:08] n8tuser: I've tried getting either NIC to work, wireless through the net manager and wired through command line. all the files are empty. there's a .lease file for each nic, and a .leases file for eth0 and just dhclient.leases [06:08] cdw32, i've got the most up to date version of flash available and, for some reason, it is almost impossible to use fullscreen and doesn't perform terribly well embedded [06:08] yeason -> can you paste the contents of your /etc/network/interfaces file? [06:08] it just has the standard 'auto lo' 'iface lo inet loopback' and that's it [06:08] I am getting no sound in karmic , other than grrrr , my configuration using aplay -l is HDA ATI SB , ALC662 . [06:08] levon2012: unlock your drive? How is it locked? [06:08] Because as of Karmic, I can't connect to my X server from any other machines in the network. [06:08] I can't even connect to my OWN X server using the network address. [06:08] Billiard: I asked a Q. on channel, and another user is writing me personally, so I wonder on channel what the fuzz ? [06:08] philh so you do not think it is worth trying to install? [06:09] cdw32, you need to use dpkg -i to install a deb [06:09] philh my b/f computer runs windows and it workd fine [06:09] Billiard: I'm considering to buy a laptop with a set of requirements, but there's no online tool that consolidates this kind of search. [06:09] cdw32, i wouldn't want to suggest that it's going to fix your problems, as i've got similar problems and no idea what causes them, other than poor quality non-free code courtesy of Adobe [06:09] philh do i need to add a file name? [06:10] has anyone set up android for use not in eclipse? [06:10] if such tool exists the choices it allows are too LOW rezolution. e.g. if I want a DDR3 memory support, these choice tools don't offer this, just mem size. [06:10] I just have a quick question, I have a sony vaio laptop, everytime it enters hibernate and I resume my computer my keyboard ceases to function and I get a kernel panic. If there is no easy solution just say "no solution" and I'll disable the feature and solve the problem. [06:10] if I want a chipset, the tools I found don't offer that high rezo. specification. [06:10] Viking667: Try nxclient/server from nomachine.com. It's x forwarding without the hassle, and it tunnels over ssh. [06:10] n8tuser: it just has the standard 'auto lo' 'iface lo inet loopback' and that's it [06:11] doesn't work for items that don't know what the heck nx is. [06:11] I actually need to connect to an X server, not an nx server [06:11] and I have a secure network, or about as secure as a DSL modem can make it. [06:12] philh, cdw32 what if you let the vid play till the buffer is finished, then go to the /tmp dir and copy the vid- rename it- to home dir,, and watch via vlc? [06:12] Billiard: any ideas where I get a list of laptop models by specifying these: VT-x supporting CPU, DDR3 mem, non-shared mem based graphic card, fingerprint reader ? [06:12] silly thing is, the server _appears_ to be listening to all interface IPs on port 6000, yet if I specify the IP in DISPLAY, it won't connect. [06:12] SeaPhor: how does that work? [06:13] which, needless to say, is damn annoying. [06:13] Viking667: xauth mechanisms protect it. [06:13] SeaPhor, anything streamed with rtmp doesn't get cached this way, it's ok for youtube but not iplayer or similar [06:13] Anyone using the Karmic server? Have three servers I hesitate to upgrade since so many people have reported issues. [06:13] it's NOT FLAMING XAUTH!!! [06:13] Viking667: then it's iptables :) [06:13] cdw32, ask philh [06:13] sobersabre: idk just google [06:13] good point, though, cdw32 a work around could be to use a youtube downloader add-on for firefox [06:14] sobersabre: oops. My bad. Seems it may be xauth in the way after all. [06:14] Billiard: It's too time consuming this kind of googling. [06:14] sheesh. [06:14] oh, hang on, the ffmpeg in hardy chokes on flvs [06:14] how do I in Ubuntu 9.10 check which Xorg version I have [06:14] that might not be a great solution [06:14] Viking667: no harm done... [06:14] philh: which would solve the youtube vid problem right [06:14] Sven1: you run man X [06:15] and look for the right flag.. [06:15] hi experts, I need help in flock installed in ubuntu 9.10. flock does not start if i do a ./flock-browser but if I do sudo ./flock-browser, it starts fine [06:15] sobersabre what? I mean how do i check in the terminal which xorg version i have so that it says if i have one and if so what version [06:15] cdw32, providing the saved files work ok, yes, the youtube downloader would be a workaround, not exactly a solution, you wont be able to watch in the browser [06:15] Sven1 run dpkg -s xorg in terminal [06:15] Sven1: Xorg -version [06:15] lazy bone. [06:15] savinvas: I'll gues permissions. [06:16] @savinvas why not just use firefox? [06:16] Oh, ()@*#)(@*%@$(&*%{@$(%&%~~!~~ [06:16] :) [06:16] I have another machine with the same installation.. permissions are the same [06:16] yeason -> what are in /var/lib/dhcp3/*.leases ? empty files? [06:16] the new Xorg server doesn't "support" the xtest mechanism. [06:16] -rwxr-xr-x [06:16] i don't know about hulu, but i imagine they'll be using rtmp, so unless you can find a clever script that uses rtmpdump or flvstreamer, that's going to be difficult [06:16] I've been using x2x for a while now, and lost the ability to use it with the upgrade to karmic. What the heck??? [06:16] its probably 1:7.4+3ubuntu7 [06:17] Viking667: what is x2x ? [06:17] philh most things are with linux, bc i do not understand it that well [06:17] !pm | savinvas [06:17] savinvas: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [06:17] n8tuser: yea, all empty [06:17] forwards the pointer and keyboard inputs to another X server [06:17] btw philh , and cdw32 , i have NO issues watching youtube, or other videos in browser on my 8.04 box [06:17] (with suitable auth) [06:17] Viking667: ok, googled it in the meanwhile. [06:17] sorry for that. [06:17] :) [06:17] SeaPhor, which flash version are you using? [06:18] SeaPhor: do you use firefox? [06:18] *sigh* [06:18] so much for what I was using. [06:18] Sven1: have you got your version ? [06:18] hm. Wonder if the "test" extension's a module? [06:18] then I tried installing with the deb package available in getdeb.net === eL is now known as Guest85609 [06:18] no idea philh its inthe other room where my wife is sleeping,,, i dare not attempt, lol [06:18] sobersabre i gets lots of text but it does not say which version i have [06:19] Has anyone here had success with windows 7 on vmware on ubuntu? [06:19] yeason -> whats the contents of your /etc/nsswitch.conf ? [06:19] cdw32, yes [06:19] SeaPhor: hell hath no fury like a womans scorn [06:19] hi all [06:19] I observed the flock is not opening for the user with the administrator privileges, but it opens fine for a desktop user [06:19] SeaPhor, heh, fair enough [06:19] sobersabre your command gave me less information then the other dudes but it is all confuseing [06:19] got a bugreport: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/473765 [06:20] SeaPhor: i tried updating frifox and flash, but i cant get it to work [06:20] Jon732 .. i've gotten the tiny7 verions of win 7 runing unber virtualbox [06:20] i failed to identify the time for the nickname???? what does that mean??? [06:20] did anyone faced with this on ubuntu 9.10/kernel 2.6.31/amd64? [06:20] hi I recently changed from mac [06:20] is the "Public" directory created in linux/ubuntu created by default to allow apache to use the folder ? so items in that folder can be seen by "The Public" (9.04) [06:20] i like "Hot corners" in it [06:20] Thanks seca, I wanna try windows7 for a laugh at the epic fail [06:20] rfmonk i did your command to find out which xorg version i have but the answer is confuseing it says Version: 1:7.4+3ubuntu7 [06:20] wondering if that can be achieved in ubuntu too? [06:20] I recently used this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1311888 I came across 2 problems with it. One is that nfs-kernel-server hangs when I run the restart command [06:20] gheddy_zarc: it's for public sharing via samba [06:21] jeruvy its locked for a xbox theres a special boot and it unlocks the hard drive through a key which i know. [06:21] SeaPhor: i have never tried to install a tar.bz2 file before [06:21] btw philh , and cdw32 , my only point is to look at other possibilities, not OS, not Release, not FF(or at least that release), etc,,, look at others [06:21] okies thanks aim1159 thats what I want it for, can I stick files into it and see them across my lan ?on win boxes or whatevere ? [06:22] If I try to mount things with the command, it says it still cant find it in my fstab and my mtab file [06:22] but its in there [06:22] hi I recently changed from mac. i like "Hot corners" in it .wondering if that can be achieved in ubuntu too? [06:22] n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/309192/ [06:22] cdw32, bz2 is not install [06:22] @jon732 : I need to run 2 web browsers so that I can open 2 instances of a java application. one in firefox and other in flock. otherwise I can open only one with firefox. thanks [06:22] SeaPhor, feel free to volunteer some possibilities that spring to mind [06:22] SeaPhor: then what could it be? [06:22] hi all!.i have windows. but i heard of ububtu 9.10 nd thought of checking it out. so i downoade the cd image using bittorrent and burned it to a cd. i booted the cd and choosed the option " try ubuntu without any changes to your computer". it bootse and the genome desktop showed up without any problems. i thought of connectiong to the internet. i entered my isp details in the new dsl connection. when i clicked the icon in the network nitification area the lo [06:22] how do you make it so the 'upgrade to new ubuntu distribution' button appears in the update manager? [06:22] cdw32, bz2 its a compressed file,, the cmd is tar -xjvf name.tar.bz2 [06:23] cdw32, you don't need to install it, just extract to a sensible place and run from there [06:23] gheddy_zarc: you need to install samba (just right-click for menu and choose share on this folder. then choose "allow others to create and delete on this folder" and "allow guest access" [06:23] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/473765 - hdd problems [06:23] yeason -> try to replace line 11 with hosts: files dns and see if it makes a difference [06:23] anybody have them on 9.10 here? [06:24] really ugly problem [06:24] any chess geeks in here familiar with eboard and timeseal? [06:24] yeah Samba seems to work ok I can see the files on the win box ok from ubuntu, can i use it to navigate to another ubuntu machine and view the files aim1159 ? [06:24] is there any reason that my file transfer from a windows share to an ubuntu box would only be transfering at ~7mb/s over a 100mb connection? [06:24] kewlbns69: i graduated from chess to go a few years back :) [06:24] @ savinas [06:25] hey anyone using emacs [06:25] @ savinas, the best thing to do (for me) especially testing (assuming you're doing web-development) is to install on a tool such as virtual box or vmware another os. [06:25] gheddy_zarc: what do you mean by "navigate to another machine"? [06:26] @savinas, but if its something simple try using opera instead of flock [06:26] yeason -> am off now.. [06:26] SeaPhor: the name as it appears under the icon on my desktop [06:26] mneptok: i think there was a joke in there somewheres but i missed it lol...anyways i can't get eboard to work timeseal on ics [06:26] mm Ive gotten rid of the win box, now its just ubuntu machines upon which I want to share files, aim1159 [06:26] I am using the partitioner in ubuntu 9.04. Can someone tell me how to set up a swap space? [06:26] s [06:26] * Viking667 bangs his head against the desk... sigh. Bad DRM commands failing, no XTEST, no lmsensors, flakey DRI, whatever shall I do? [06:26] gotsanity, silly question but have you got the cases correct there? people easily confuse megabits and megabytes [06:26] gheddy_zarc: yes. you can use it to share files between ubuntu machines [06:26] does anyone know how i can view network shares in Kubuntu. It doesnt show any.. [06:27] my application supports mozilla browser. but that is not important here.. the question is simple. why the installed program does not start for the administrator user while it runs when logged in as another user [06:27] philh, its a local machine on my switched network [06:27] Um, guys...? I just came back from being afk. My computer was asleep, but no matter what I did, no matter what keys I pressed, my computer wouldn't wake up. I had to shut it down manually and then restart it. Running Karmic. Why did this happen? [06:27] ravic: compiz can be configured to use hot corners [06:27] cdw32, after uncompressing, see what u have,,, philh i am crashing,,, do us a fav and lay off downing LTS, if your opinion fine, just do it in private, not what a support channel is for, g'night [06:27] hi ... im using Ubuntu 9.10 .....eclipse 3.5 is very slow in 9.10 ???? am i missing something??? [06:27] n8tuser: that didn't do anything... thanks for the help [06:27] If i boot into Ubuntu using the live CD, the OS comes from the CD. If i do an apt-get install, it has to download files somewhere. Where do those files go? and how much "disk space" do i have when using the LiveCD ? [06:28] SeaPhor, don't get so bloody protective, it's just a distro [06:28] kewlbns69: not a joke. i just favor go (the game) over chess these days. [06:28] I can see a network in both browser windows on both machines eh aim1159 I can see the macs on the Lan, but not the ubuntu machines, I can also see the win boxes but I try not to use them anymore lol aim1159 [06:28] gotsanity: that's not bad, 100mbits isn't bytes [06:28] philh, just askin' [06:28] SeaPhor: i ran the cmd and got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/309193/ [06:28] philh, g'night [06:29] g'night SeaPhor [06:29] gheddy_zarc: have you installed samba on those ubuntu machines? [06:29] newstudy1: They'll end up stored in RAM. [06:29] i did my mom [06:29] Hi everyone.. am here after a really long time.. need help with Karmic [06:29] philh, philh u gonna continue with cdw32 ? [06:29] I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. after it installed successfully, it restarted..but mouse is freezed, and on gnome login the screen shows a white screen with nothing in it. On fail safe login there is normal screen but the mouse is still frozen. Please help me out of this. as this was my work machine and i dont want to do a clean install again [06:30] cdw32, i was actually going to ask the same of you shortly before you announced that you were crashing, i should be off [06:30] wgrant: That's what i thought. Does that mean I run out of "disk space" when I use up all the RAM i have? [06:30] mneptok: no idea what you're saying but do you know how to fix my eboard so it works with timeseal? [06:30] technicallyrite, so 16gigs transfered over my lan should take around an hour? that seems way too slow [06:30] where can I go to get information as to how skype is supposed to work with an external USB audio device and audio conversations in 9.10 ? [06:30] newstudy1: That's right. Although if you have swap partitions on your disk already, I believe it should use those automatically. [06:30] yes samba talks to windows no worries I can print to other machine R&W to files etc but not to the Ubuntu boxes yet,, I think I need to asign some local sharing rules or something aim1159 [06:30] kewlbns69: nope, as i don't use chess apps. sorry. [06:30] CaneToad: You'd have to ask Skype about that. [06:30] can any body please help me with this... I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. after it installed successfully, it restarted..but mouse is freezed, and on gnome login the screen shows a white screen with nothing in it. On fail safe login there is normal screen but the mouse is still frozen. Please help me out of this. as this was my work machine and i dont want to do a clean install again [06:30] does anyone have an idea why dhclient would get stuck in a loop. looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/309172/ [06:31] philh: it extracted ill see what i can do now...thanks gents [06:31] in a shell script file how can I pause for 10 seconds in between two lines of the script [06:31] does anyone know why I have no audio, and can't watch videos? this is after the update to 9.10 [06:31] hellyes: just make a partition with the 'swap' type of around 1-2x your RAM. [06:31] sleep 10 [06:31] Um, guys...? I just came back from being afk. My computer was asleep, but no matter what I did, no matter what keys I pressed, my computer wouldn't wake up. I had to shut it down manually and then restart it. Running Karmic. Why did this happen? [06:31] mneptok: np m8 thanx anyhow [06:31] yeason: Your DHCP server is never ACKing the REQUEST. [06:31] cdw32, good luck [06:31] cdw32, looks like a bad download [06:31] wgrant: Does that mean I can create a temp partition somewhere, and my LiveCD can use it? [06:31] I can see all the machines usinge Etherape eh aim1159 all ping away nicely lol [06:31] newstudy1: You could, yes. [06:31] wgrant: yea... and is there a reason why this might be happening...? [06:32] kewlbns69: PM? [06:32] can any body please help me with this... I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. after it installed successfully, it restarted..but mouse is freezed, and on gnome login the screen shows a white screen with nothing in it. On fail safe login there is normal screen but the mouse is still frozen. Please help me out of this. as this was my work machine and i dont want to do a clean install again [06:32] SeaPhor: ok [06:32] so thats a no philh ? [06:32] newstudy1: 'mkswap /path/to/device', then 'swapon /path/to/device' [06:32] !repeat | openweek0 [06:32] openweek0: 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. [06:32] SeaPhor, indeed [06:32] yeason: Not sure. [06:32] mneptok: ok [06:32] gheddy_zarc: so press ctrl-l in nautilus and enter something like smb://192.168.x.x/ where 192.168.x.x is other machine ip address (you can use names, if you have a proper dns set up) [06:32] gotsanity: Yep. Get gigabit for faster transfer, or configure FireWire local networking. [06:32] philh that means what [06:32] * Viking667 departs [06:32] i should re dl [06:32] ffffffffff, I installed compiz [06:32] question, anyone have any clue why ubuntu server vs desktop versions are only 40mb's apart [06:33] can u pl. tell me where to configure ? [06:33] when is the new LTS gonna be realeased? anyone know? [06:33] does anyone know how I can get video's playing again? [06:33] for version 9.10 i mean [06:33] wgrant: Perfect! Thank you much!! [06:33] eL_pSycHo: 10.04. [06:33] iarp: Why wouldn't they be? The server CD is filled with server applications. [06:33] sorry guys .. but i have been searching the forums for 2 days now and have seen no specific answer to this problem... that is the reason of impatience... [06:33] wgrant, thanks! [06:33] philh is off my Christmas-card list cdw32 [06:34] cdw32, i think i missed something [06:34] lol SeaPhor [06:34] i guess the server cd has only minor differences from the desktop ;f [06:34] SeaPhor: please dont fight [06:34] wgrant: but i'd figure images for the gui part would take alot of room [06:34] philh in my command [06:34] can anyone direct me to a guide for setting up ubuntu server? I'm a total server n00b btw..... [06:34] wgrant: or at least, alot more room then 40mb's [06:34] iarp: And so do the lots of server applications included on the server CDs. [06:35] lol, no worries cdw32 [06:35] who like ubuntu 9.20 [06:35] anybody have any idea why dhclient wont pick up the address: http://paste.ubuntu.com/309172/ [06:35] iarp: The server CDs are not a subset of the desktop CDs. They include lots of server applications that the desktop edition does not. [06:35] SeaPhor: i feel really stipud with linix [06:35] 9.2 is out? [06:35] wgrant: true, makes sence [06:35] spelled linux! [06:35] openweek0, sorry but i read a thread on the forums with something similar to your problem.. the bad news is the guy ultimately ended up reinstalling and that fixed it. [06:35] there is not 9.2 [06:36] ravic: it's controlled through the compiz configuration or settings tool which should be in the system menu [06:36] next is 10.04 [06:36] lepban: i cant wait [06:36] lepban: that is what I thought.. [06:36] Please Help! I am setting up ubuntu 9.04. I am at the screen where it tells me to input HTTP proxy information. Can someone please tell me how to do this or what info I need? [06:36] hellyes: If you don't know what to put there, you probably don't need it. Just leave it blank. [06:37] hellyes: Are you using the text-based installer? Why are you installing Ubuntu 9.04, when 9.10 was released nearly a week ago? [06:37] cdw32, dont, see that the opportunity to learn and grow is right in front of you, not on top of you like other OS's, then you feel empowered [06:37] wgrant: will I still have internet access? [06:37] ravic: if you're using karmic, you should be able to enable custom visual effects from system > pref > appearance [06:37] hellyes: Unless you need a proxy for Internet access, yes. [06:37] wgrant: I can't share my ubuntu and windows 7 machines with 9.10 [06:37] cdw32, strange error, are you in the correct directory? [06:37] hellyes: You'll normally only need a proxy on a heavily firewalled corporate or educational network. [06:37] SeaPhor: this is true. linux is something new to me...i will just have to embrace it. [06:37] ravic: sorry, to clarify, it should be the same thing [06:37] hellyes: What goes wrong with 9.10? [06:38] thanks eL_pSycHo [06:38] philh i have no clue how to change directories [06:38] cd followed by the directory name [06:38] has anybody else seen any thing with regards to this problem of mine... [06:38] where did you download the file to? [06:39] but, cdw32 i have to crash for the night, i thought that philh was gonna continue to help you but ,,, i dunno, and i HAVE to crash now,,, (MEDS) [06:39] anyone like ubuntu 9.10 [06:39] cdw32, you have two options here, you can use the gui to extract the tarball or you can learn how to traverse directories and do it using the tar command, the latter will take slightly more effort but the choice is yours [06:39] wgrant: I have 3 machines networked. An XP, a win 7 and an ubuntu machine (9.10). I can see the other computers on the network from ubuntu, but even though win 7 firewall is off, I still can't access it. It tells me "unable to mount location........failed to retrieve share list from server" [06:39] philh: when dl manager finished it opend archive manager. i extracted to the desktop [06:39] wow, the drama, gn again SeaPhor [06:39] wgrant: but I can access my XP machine just fine [06:39] cdw32, so you already extracted it? [06:40] hi guys, how can i make all connections in ubuntu go through a socks proxy? [06:40] philh i have re dl the file, but now it wont let me extract it.... [06:40] what the easiest, hot pluggable solution, thats fast to connect and disconnect lots of different drives to my system? those usb bridges are handy but slow. [06:40] cdw32, open the directory on the desktop that you extracted in the first place [06:40] philh i get this tar: /tmp/firefox-3.5.4.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory [06:40] Hey all! Are there any news regarding ubuntu 9.10 and huawei usb sticks for internet through 3g ? thanks :) [06:40] howdy folks [06:40] cdw32, that's because you didn't download to that directory, i suspect [06:41] this is what followd [06:41] tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now [06:41] tar: Child returned status 2 [06:41] tar: firefox: Not found in archive [06:41] tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [06:41] cdw32: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[07:19] wgrant: hmmm way to bait me ;) [07:19] wgrant, well.. he asked me didnt he? [07:19] BellerophonRider, Karmic Koala is Ubuntu 9.10 [07:19] oriumpor: lot of problems in karmic if you upgrade. do a fresh install. [07:19] BellerophonRider: Mostly? I would venture to say anyone here that's been using Ubuntu for any amount of time has gotten their hands dirty and would be glad to help [07:19] anyone here good with down load problems? [07:20] Hi tech [07:20] napster: thats the way i have done it in the past.and it worked for me. [07:20] kelli, What kind of download problems? [07:20] oriumpor, ok.. in my personal opinioon and experience it isnt.. there. [07:20] I am trying to get my hands dirty using the terminal [07:20] eL_pSycHo: 10-4, I'm not really keen on reloading this system a third time. I'll wait. [07:20] say i need a launch app to open the videos i down loaded KerrMD [07:21] kelli, Is it an flv video? [07:21] theycallmejeff: How can I download updates for a computer from another computer? [07:21] oriumpor, i did a fresh install twice and i still cant automount my CD/DVD drive.. worked fine in 9.04 [07:21] i was wondering if i can create virual interfaces ontop of the physical NIC and assign a different ip to it? [07:21] KerrMD: looks like the primary option is ndiswrapper and this driver: ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R151517.EXE using the bcmwl564.sys file (the EXE is actually a zipped file, just extract) [07:21] eL_pSycHo: Have you filed a bug? [07:21] KerrMD, mp4 === hypercube is now known as hyperqbe [07:21] i tried using something like this.. ifconfig dhcp [07:21] tc111, Thanks, clipboarded [07:22] BellerophonRider: Theres a bash channel on freenode as well if that helps. [07:22] (coming from solairs background... but there is no such option here. [07:22] kelli, You may have to install the proper codec for it. Someone else would be able to help you with that [07:22] wgrant, i read on the forums it's filed.. (yes, im not the only one).. i didnt check though [07:22] how do I get to a bash channel? [07:22] theycallmejeff: Are you busy...? [07:22] what is a bash channel? [07:22] can anyone help i need a mp4 decoder [07:23] kelli: Ask [07:23] napster: i went to the website and downloaded the iso for the next one up (9.04to9.10) not busy. slow typer. [07:23] ask? === hyperqbe is now known as hyperqbe_ [07:24] kelli: I mean you have to be specific...! === hyperqbe_ is now known as hyperqbe [07:24] What is IBus (the homepage has no information whatsoever (only in chinese)) i know its an "intelligent input bus". Which really doesnt clarify ;) It was installed on my system after updating to 9.10 along with Akonadi. [07:24] kelli, what version of ubuntu and what program are you using to play it back? [07:24] napster: I use remastersys to keep data [07:24] napster, can i pm [07:24] how does it know I don't need those packages for other applications that aren't managed by apt? [07:24] hmm [07:24] Um, guys...? I just came back from being afk. My computer was asleep, but no matter what I did, no matter what keys I pressed, my computer wouldn't wake up. I had to shut it down manually and then restart it. Running Karmic. Why did this happen? [07:24] 9.04 [07:24] hey guys, i'm having trouble w/ my system [07:24] napster, She downloaded an mp4 video and was told she needed a launch app for it [07:24] wolfslack: It is an alternative for SCIM [07:24] wolfslack: It's an input method for complex (Chinese, for example) characters -- a replacement for SCIM. [07:25] kelli, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats and click the link to install the codecs [07:25] i'm setting my ipp to be static in /etc/network/interfaces but for some reason after i reboot it goes HDCP again [07:25] kelli: You can use vlc...! [07:25] Andorin: Just pressing the power button didn't wake it at all? [07:25] I'm thinking of having a look at using either VIM or GVIM for webdevelopment. If I use GVIM, can I still use the plug-ins that are avail for VIM (sorry if that's a bit of a dumb question?) [07:25] Andorin, becuase youre running Karmic? hehe sorry... had to say that. [07:25] wgrant: Nope. [07:25] :P [07:25] kelli: No need of any sort of codecs if you use vlc [07:25] yes can use vlc [07:25] KerrMD: looks like a rare chipset that had a couple of bugs filed against it a while back. others used the cd/dvd's released by dell to install ubuntu as it contained the drivers... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=6f1e9396b01da8fb109ca98de2c540f2&t=762770 [07:25] Andorin: So the sleep light remained on or flashing or whatever it does when it is asleep? [07:26] napster ....vlc rocks! :) [07:26] UBlondie: Yup [07:26] smplayer > vlc [07:26] tc111, Thanks a ton for the information. I am looking into it as we speak. [07:26] This is my first time using this channel but it seems hard to tell if it will help [07:26] mplayer > vlc [07:26] napster: was that Yup, to my GVIM question? [07:26] wgrant: Maybe "asleep" isn't the right term? The monitor goes dark and its power light shifts from green to yellow. The computer was still on and running, but in that post-screensaver mode. It looked just fine aside from the fact that the monitor wouldn't bring my screen back up. (I don't think the monitor is the problem.) [07:26] BellerophonRider: try /join #bash [07:27] UBlondie: Even if napster's wasn't, I say "yup" too. [07:27] in your irc client [07:27] UBlondie: Yup = Yep = Yes Its a sort slang...! [07:27] tc111, I don't see a Karmic image. I suppose I can try the hard way while I wait for one. Again, thanks a bunch for the help. [07:27] Andorin: Ah. Next time that happens, try pressing Alt+SysRq+K. That will terminate your session, but might bring the login screen back, and is a useful thing to know for further debugging. [07:27] napster: ...haha, yeah, got that ....I had asked a couple of questions ...wasn't sure which one you were referring too ;) [07:27] wgrant: sweet ...thanks guys ... ciao [07:27] oriumpor: that sounds helpful but what does it mean? do I type it in this box? [07:28] BellerophonRider: Bash is a common name for Bourne Again Shell, which is what the default shell (terminal) in most unix/Linux Operating systems are based on. Wikipedia has a page on it. [07:28] wgrant: Okay, thanks. Sounds okay other than the fact that I don't see a SysRq key on my keyboard. I can't remember- does it go by a different name sometimes? [07:28] what is the difference between: "unmount" "eject" and "safely remove device" on my ipod context menu? [07:28] napster and wgrant thanks for the reply. And its installed per default in 9.10? [07:28] Andorin: It should be the same key as Print Screen. [07:28] hey guys, just wondering if someone can help me figure out why my external display keeps on dimming while i watch a movie/video for around 10 minutes? i've gone through power settings and disabled anything that would force it to do so... [07:28] BellerophonRider: You might be able to do most things through the GUI until you get more familiar with he command line. [07:28] BellerophonRider: that allows you to connect to another channel, and you type it in this window most likely. [07:29] wolfslack: Which one...? [07:29] technically rite Does that mean I type into the terminal? [07:29] sorry i got disconnected .. did you find any solution to my problem [07:29] #bash [07:29] to whoever was learning vim http://www.vi-improved.org/tutorial.php [07:29] KerrMD: try here too: http://en.community.dell.com/wikis/linux/ubuntu-9-10-factory-reinstallation.aspx [07:29] BellerophonRider: but like everyone is saying you've got gobs of stuff you can configure and manipulate in the GUI [07:30] -what is the difference-?? between: "unmount" "eject" and "safely remove device" on my ipod context menu? [07:30] napster 9.10 [07:30] tc111, Thanks [07:30] osirisx11, what program are you using? [07:30] Off-Topic: Anyone know why The Daily Show is airing but isn't coming out on certain networks? [07:30] mr_mojo: Those options are in Nautilus. [07:30] openweek8, did you try anything? [07:30] !ot | DillyofaPickle [07:30] DillyofaPickle: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:31] mr_mojo: gnome [07:31] mr_mojo: nautilis [07:31] napster: ibus on 9.10 [07:31] wolfslack: OK [07:31] wolfslack: Yes its installed..! === Marty|Away is now known as ravegrunt === ravegrunt is now known as Marty [07:31] osirisx11: All of them will let you safely remove your ipod, eject will 'disconnect' from the ipod so you would need to plug it back in again to use it again ( rather than just remount it ) and safely remove I'm not sure about [07:31] is there any way to Run APPLE on Virtural Box [07:32] openweek8, try this to generate the xorg.conf sudo Xorg -configure [07:32] ziggy: Not legally === Marty is now known as marty|away [07:32] ziggy: You mean Mac OS X? [07:32] ziggy http://www.osx86project.org/ [07:32] so how can i unlegally [07:32] :) [07:32] very carefully [07:32] wolfslack: You can use it to inout your local language...And mine is 'malayalam' works fine with iBus and swanalekha [07:32] beacuse MacOSX is made to only run on mac hardware [07:32] yes OS X [07:32] BellerophonRider: Does that help? I would also tune into some of these oher conversations or the more organized ubuntuforums [07:32] KerrMD: http://linux.dell.com/files/ubuntu/karmic/iso-images/ubuntu-9.10-dell_X02.iso [07:33] and just cause they write it in the EULA doesn't mean it's legal. If you own the OS you should have the right do run it on a toaster. [07:33] tc111, Thanks. That is the x64 iso? [07:33] oriumpor: That is unclear at this point. [07:33] KerrMD: they only do i386 AFAIK [07:34] Hello I have a Nokia 5800 Xpress Music. Ubuntu wont detect the phone when plugged with usb [07:34] ziggy: Perhaps you will be better off with the mac4lin project, it isnt quite mac but at least it will feel like it is :) [07:34] Ok thanks. I am searching near that url for the 64 [07:34] KerrMD: something about proprietary drivers being more compatible [07:34] openweek8, what graphics card do you have and how did you install those drivers in 9.04??? [07:34] ziggy: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin/ [07:34] napser: okay, its not activated right now and my native language (danish) works fine so i guess i can remove it without any problems? [07:34] ziggy: You can run os x server legally, but I think you are still supposed to do it on a mac. That sounds dirty. [07:34] napster: okay, its not activated right now and my native language (danish) works fine so i guess i can remove it without any problems? [07:35] ty ty ty [07:35] wolfslack: If you don't need it, then you can...! [07:36] could someone tell me how to enable my fingerprint reader in karmic? [07:37] talsemgeest: That is more appearance than anything. [07:37] so anyone here have issues with x-fi extreme music on karmic?I have static distortions [07:37] technicallyrite: I know, but it is the closest *legal* way to mac on the linux platform [07:37] kopete vs pidgin .. which one is better [07:37] does anyone know what Safely remove hardware does? [07:37] and how it differs from eject and unmount [07:38] hmm [07:38] and yes thank you Jordan_U [07:38] well crud [07:39] osirisx11: As far as I know, they do basically the same thing [07:39] then there wouldn't be another option? [07:39] or its a bug [07:40] oh grand [07:40] osirisx11: I really dont have a clue. I just choose one of the 3 randomly when I remove my flash drive [07:40] osirisx11: You are thinking logically [07:40] failed the upgrade [07:40] hmm [07:40] oriumpor, i think just like windows, with OSX you dont own the operating system.. you own a lisence to run... its different [07:40] talsemgeest: Me too [07:41] tc111, What do you think the possibility is of me using that iso as a source for updater and/or stealing the driver from it instead of an install media? [07:42] smeg [07:42] ok, so my root volume is mounted ro now after the upgrade [07:43] can I just force mount it rw? [07:44] hello, I have a very odd problem... I found a dozen of topics on the Forums, but a not a single solution. [07:44] The problem is that compiz won't start on my PC... I've upgraded to Karmic from Jaunty... "Desktop Effects could not be loaded"... I have an Intel Onboard Card... and when I check compiz settings it says that "Software Rastetizer in Use". Please advice [07:44] KerrMD: the driver on the media would be 32-bit. you're probably better to uncomment the cd/dvd line in your /etc/apt/sources.list file and install ndiswrapper and use a USB key to get the bcmwl564.sys file onto the machine. that way you can stay 64-bit all the way... do you have more than 3GB of ram installed where 64-bit would be useful or are you running some app that needs 64-bit functionality? [07:45] oh beauty firefox won't load [07:45] tc111, Yes, 4GB of ram and an additional 4GB swap [07:45] I suppose nothing will that needs to make a lock file [07:46] KerrMD: then you're better to go with ndiswrapper for now... [07:46] tc111, I will try that. Thank you for the input and help/research [07:46] can anyone help me ? [07:46] was pulseaudio removed in 9.10? [07:46] KerrMD: not a prob [07:46] Anquietas, dont ask to ask, just ask [07:46] anyone got the link to Ubuntu 9.10 repository dvd...? [07:46] nobody will talk on the conky room some help please [07:47] stimpie: I've already asked my question a few minutes ago [07:47] I like the timeline graphic on repositories in launchpad, what is being used to generate those? [07:47] The problem is that compiz won't start on my PC... I've upgraded to Karmic from Jaunty... "Desktop Effects could not be loaded"... I have an Intel Onboard Card... and when I check compiz settings it says that "Software Rastetizer in Use". Please advice [07:48] Anquietas, Intel Onboard graphics are problematic [07:48] hello, does anyone know of a way to switch screen resolutions via terminal?? i'm trying to make a single click launcher for NVIDIA X Server Settings, to easily change between 1024x768 and the monitor's native resolution of 1680x1050. [07:48] or maybe i can make a shell script for this.. [07:48] yes, but I resolved it somehow the last time... and on my laptop which also uses Intel Card, compiz is working perfectly... [07:49] Anquietas, why dont try reinstalling the display driver.. and yes intel cards are problematic... [07:49] does anybody think that the problem sharing drives between ubuntu 9.10 and win 7 has to do with the fact that it is server as opposed to the desktop 9.04 which I can can share eindoes 7 drives? [07:49] anyone got the link to Ubuntu 9.10 repository dvd...? [07:49] eL_pSycHo, and how do I reinstall the drivers ? [07:49] crawler : gksu nvidia-settings? [07:49] eindoes = windows 7 [07:50] from synaptic... search for intel and you might find your display driver... remove it and then install it again. [07:50] anyone got the link to Ubuntu 9.10 repository dvd...? [07:50] lilyshu: well, i understand there is a GUI for this, but i'm trying to make a single-click launcher. [07:50] Anquietas, from synaptic... search for intel and you might find your display driver... remove it and then install it again. [07:51] ok, thank you [07:51] hellyes, just an idea, you could write 2 configs with the different resolutions and use nvidia-settings --config=custom.config [07:51] frag [07:52] Anquietas, you didnt install it manually before right? (manually as in downloaded a binary file form the internet) [07:52] I didn't [07:52] crawler, use xrandr [07:52] Anquietas, ok then try synaptic.. might help. [07:52] brb restarting X... [07:52] mjbrooks: thanks, i will look into this xD [07:53] crawler, you can also CTRL-ALT-+ and CTRL-ALT-- to cycle between available resolutions [07:53] crawler, + and - on the numeric keypad that is [07:54] mjbrooks: thank you again. xrandr is just the thing i was looking for! have a blessed evening :-) [07:55] Hey got this weird problem with my sound, if i lower the volume to below half way, i have no sound at all, and if it go's about 3/4 of the way up the bar it almost renders me deaf [07:55] any work arounds for this? === Stock_Raider is now known as kiwi_guy [07:55] Stock_Raider: Type /exec inxi -xvA 5 in this text box...

[08:55] karmic off when he wants, what could be the problem? === somebody` is now known as nztal [08:55] Tesssa, just check those websites if you change your mind. It's just that you could order a install USB card or even buy a external DVD drive, but that's just up to you :) [08:56] eL_pSycHo: Test to see what type of file system it is [08:56] why the hell all menu utilities use gksu instead of gksudo? [08:56] and here is the output of mount http://paste.ubuntu.com/309259/ [08:56] Tesssa, there's also a installation utility that installs linux inside windows [08:56] ubuntu is treying to attract millions of people like me the point and click generation on home puterswho dom't want to know command line amd you advertise 9.10 as the all singing repalcement for win7 [08:56] cybersplice: it worked last night..

[08:57] Tesssa, try it first, if you don't like it just throw the DVD away [08:57] thats the point 9.10 will not install [08:57] why not [08:57] what happens? [08:58] you can also do a 9.04 installation and later you can do an upgrade through update manager :) [08:58] hi. does WiFi card named "Intel WiFi Link 5100" work with Ubuntu 9.10 natively ? [08:58] just in case u got a 9.04 DVD hanging around ;) [08:58] ell ell all [08:58] eL_pSycHo: Is it NTFS?

I have the same, and it works without me doing anything besides installing ubuntu [08:58] cybersplice: its fat16 [08:59] sobresabre: If you want to check, run ubuntu 9.10 on a live CD, it works just as well there [08:59] take it away CS [08:59] :P [08:59] i have been trying for days [08:59] Tesssa: Just to give you an ugly text based interface to complain about you should try the alternate install CD [08:59] has anyone here ever used a Kingston usb pen drive on ubuntu? [08:59] eL_pSycHo: Test it on a Windows machine or something, if you have one. Could be the FAT is corrupt. [08:59] ok [08:59] maje: thanks. [08:59] !alternate | Tesssa [08:59] Tesssa: 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 [09:00] no mipz0r it wont even upgrade [09:00] or you could try fscking it, and mounting it by hand ;) [09:00] Tesssa, hmm that's weird [09:00] how do you instal vlc in karmic ? [09:00] Tesssa, you know, there are PCs that Windows 7 won't install or upgrade too :) [09:00] i mean the latest one [09:00] hello, is there a tool for backing up all user system settings and files, to move them to another PC? [09:00] cybersplice: i dont wanna restart........... can i just format it in gparted? [09:00] it works on mine [09:00] DaDa|Urka: HI [09:00] Is there a networking guru in channel?

I get the problem in two different pc and all the softwares (mplayer, vlc, xine,...) [09:01] eL_pSycHo: You can if you like, yes. [09:01] Tesssa, but I believe you will figure out how to install it.. if you are not that lazy you will try out the alternate CD. It is a more basic installation, but don't worry it will work the same. [09:01] dambarp: it should be under synaptic or the new add/remove programs [09:01] Anybody know how to download updates for a computer from another one...? [09:01] eL_pSycHo: obviously, you will lose data. :) [09:01] it's for pcs that are known to give problems with Live CD installation [09:01] synical: can i do like sudo apt-get install vlc [09:01] no i wont if i have i will wait for 10,04 [09:01] will it install the latest version of vlc ? [09:02] I think you can [09:02] :) okay.. but it might not work again, since you might have an "alien" desktop that is not what the grand mass has... so only the 10.04 alternate CD might work [09:02] im not sure myself because i normally use add/remove or synaptic [09:02] cybersplice: it says i cant format becuase it contains a mounted system!!!! but i cant see it! [09:02] Tesssa, have you been using a DVD or a CD? [09:02] eL_pSycHo, umount? === obiwan__ is now known as obiwan_ [09:02] synical: Synaptic uses the backend apt...

Im a bit of a ubuntu n00b =P [09:03] ok [09:03] Tesssa: The alternate installer really isn't very different than the live installer, it's just ugly as sin. [09:03] i c [09:03] thank u [09:03] to be frank, 9.10 isn't a smart upgrade for people who want a 100% stable install for a couple months...in my opinion [09:03] Tesssa, wubi installs linux from your windows. [09:03] god it doeant work [09:03] eL_pSycHo: do me a favour. ls /media/Media [09:03] synical: :D [09:03] dambarp: NP :) [09:04] Karmic has VLC 1.0.2 [09:04] i am not in windows i am on 9.04 mioz0r# [09:04] maje: but there's no difference in a couple months unless you upgrade; the LiveCD is out and that's all [09:04] Tesssa, okay... why won't it upgrade?

[09:06] maje: actually there's already a testing phase, so ubuntu should be released without this "unstable" timing.. and it's widely used. Me, for example, used to use the Ubunt 9.10 beta... it was quite stable for me, despite my hardware issues (old PC, faulty memory and motherboard) [09:06] how can I change the resolution in Evince? [09:06] and no one has come u pwith a answer to that [09:07] jarrod_: Karmic has grub 2 [09:07] Tesssa, you can't login inside the live CD? [09:07] Tesssa, have you tryied logging in with username: ubuntu and no password? [09:07] napster: How can I edit that [09:08] mipz0r: I apologize, I should have emphasize my "opinion" phrase...I typically upgrade during alphas and test, scrutinize, and then bork the heck out of everything...I only mean that I /personally/ don't find significant difference until later [09:08] jarrod_: Do you want the windows entry to be first in the menu? [09:08] Jordan_U: Yes sir [09:08] mipz0r: Although Ubuntu releases are almost always very good and stable for 99.5% of end users [09:08] the live cd locks up at the partition manager just get a blanc white page its the upgrade route that stops at the login window mipz0r [09:09] maje: yeah you are right, specially on production enviroments.. I did that on this desktop pc because it's: rather old, not used for any useful purposes besides web / mail / music :) [09:09] how can I change the resolution in Evince?!?

[09:10] good advice not [09:10] ops Hi guys :D [09:10] Tesssa, apt-get update. apt-get upgrade. apt-get dist-upgrade, and after that try update manager in GUI [09:10] napster: sorry, it was default not defaults [09:10] jarrod_: I missed something...? Pls wait...! [09:10] if it doesn't work, let it sit for a while [09:11] balexandre, try 'gdm' [09:11] try it again in some weeks [09:11] balexandre: sudo killall gdm | gdm [09:11] 9.04 is stable, you don't need 9.10 [09:11] er [09:11] balexandre: that is, sudo killallgdm && gdm [09:11] jarrod_: "sudo ln -s /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/09_os-prober" and then "sudo update-grub" should do it, though you will end up with two entries for windows. A better solution than this can be done but I'm too tired right now :) [09:11] jarrod_: Then run "update-grub" [09:11] mipz0r i havent a clue how to do that [09:11] Tesssa, it might work for you later. if you do the upgrade now, you might get BIG HUGE VERY HARD HEADACHES [09:11] thxs [09:11] jarrod_: This will grub.conf file for defaults...! [09:12] now you are taking the mickey mipz0r [09:12] Tesssa, people are still deploying the stable version, since there's a lot of feedback from production enviroments right now (that's WHEN people start to talk ;) [09:12] so bye for now [09:12] is it possible to roll back to 9.04 [09:12] since 9.10 is not working now [09:12] jarrod_: Try asking in #grub if you want a better solution, though that will work and will not break when you upgrade kernel / grub packages [09:12] openweek8: No. [09:12] that's just a fact... :) people can't understand that ubuntu is not a static thing.. it's continuosly being upgraded and updated...

[09:20] openweek8: yes.. just copy them from the terminal like you did the xorg.conf file.... remember?

[09:23] soreau: yes, you can go from an LTS to LTS version without needing to upgrade to every version in between [09:24] man external hard drives are so cheap nowadays... there's no excuse for not backing up before a system upgrade [09:24] vlc: /build/buildd/libdvdnav-4.1.3/src/vm/vm.c:1485: process_command: Assertion `0' failed.

I will do a fresh install and be more careful next time... thanks again [09:25] moin [09:25] kingropen: use the tor repo, probably the 9.04 will work [09:25] cybersplice: shit... youre right... lol.. let me try as root [09:25] openweek8, what I can advise you [09:25] kingropen, look into the "Vidalia" program in the Ubuntu Software Center [09:26] openweek8: is when asked to FORMAT or to ERASE the partition, or even to AUTO-FDISK, say "NO", and check the mount points carefully... if you have installed ubuntu in a partition and made your home directory on another, it will be much safer to upgrade [09:26] maje i will see [09:27] kingropen, MIkeChelen's advice is also good, so you know [09:28] maje: does vidalia work without additional tor package? === sysop is now known as Guest49479 [09:28] hmm.. I just did a "make" without sudo. When is that possible? [09:28] cybersplice: i copied something there... i unplugged the flash drive and plugged it back in and checked and what i put there is gone... [09:28] Ven]n: Any time you have write access to the dir you're in. [09:28] maje thnx [09:28] Ven]n: it's the "make install" bit that's problematic if you don't have root access :) === bbr is now known as benoitbryon [09:29] MikeChelen, it should act as a wrapper for not only Tor but it's relevant programs [09:29] eL_pSycHo: because it wasn't ejected. you need it to be mounted properly for that to work [09:29] eL_pSycHo: do me a favour, sudo dpkg -l|grep gvfs [09:29] does it show lots of stuff? [09:29] should be five packages === sysop_ is now known as Guest41465 [09:30] MenZa, ok.. I thought the opposite. but makes sense.

[09:31] cybersplice: also.. if i do df -h i can see the used space matches with the file i put in there.. so i guess its in there.. [09:32] what should i do? [09:32] maje: does it still require the additional repo to work? [09:32] cybersplice: i guess my problem is im using Karmic lol [09:32] eL_pSycHo: Yeah fat is sensitive if you don't eject it on usb drives. It's why Win95 often died in a fire if you didn't shut down properly, for example. [09:32] eL_pSycHo: Do other USB drives mount OK? [09:33] do i really have to login on ubuntu one each time i start the computer? it opens my browser and wants me to sign in. but i mean, couldnt that be done automaticly once i have added the computer [09:33] MikeChelen, Not for me [09:33] What do I do if I have installed a newer package from a repository that I added to sources.list - but now I would like to return to the package version that is in ubuntus repository? [09:34] cybersplice: thats the only usb drive i have.. but my iphone doesnt mout either... it did in 9.04 [09:34] why can't I set my yahoo and gtalk status in empathy to "invisible"?

[09:36] eL_pSycHo: sounds like fuse is broken. search for gvfs in synaptic and mark it for reinstall [09:36] maje: it can't seem to start tor, the default path /usr/sbin/tor doesn't exist [09:36] i can't use keyboard settings since i only have keyboard left. my mouse is bound to a game i cant close cause its moved outside the window <.< [09:36] eL_pSycHo, yes [09:37] i try to open tweetdeck, and it wont open with xubuntu. it says " it look like your computer is one of very small number of computers that don't play well with adobe air " too bad.. :( [09:37] MikeChelen, then it seems I accidentally had that repo in my list. That would be why I pointed to your instructions as valid and a good idea to read [09:37] spanther: do what ubottu sugested... To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ».

[09:38] maje: ah yeah, that seems to be the only way now. oddly it seems the tor package used to be in the official repos, but was removed a few distros back [09:38] 9.10 running from the CD, is there an IRC client on it? [09:38] cybersplice: just gvfs or should i reinstall gvfs-fuse and the other too?

[09:39] yay... now i just switched with ctrl+alt+F2 to a shell/terminal and installed htop. then i killed the game process [09:39] MikeChelen, Ubuntu gives such an abundance of great security packages, that Tor is worthless...one reason why I question people who want to run it under GNU/Linux ;) [09:39] Guys... how does this graphics card work with ubuntu: Intel 4500MHD Graphics Accelerator [09:39] ? [09:39] azeem, it should be included [09:40] sobersabre, it's intel so it should work out of the box :) [09:40] install intel graphics driver [09:40] fstx, i would imagine there is one, but if there isn't you can always just install one like normal [09:40] cybersplice: should i restart afterwards? [09:40] MikeChelen: neither is there, in the Internet menu there is something called Empathy [09:40] maja Ubuntu gives such an abundance of great security packages not true [09:41] maja massive bug in the ubuntu networking stack, and essential you could arbitratly get root on ubuntu 9.10 [09:41] spanther: according to this page (dated Jan. 2009): http://www.lapspecs.com/wiki/dell+latitude+e5500 [09:41] takes 1 sec [09:41] it isn't well supported... [09:41] has this changed ? [09:41] eL_pSycHo: couldn't hurt! [09:41] fstx: empathy doesn't do irc, guess you could use something web-based like mibbit? [09:41] I mean it's not TOO long ago. [09:41] jtz]blue, compare an end user trying to surf www.somesite.com in Windows and Ubuntu [09:42] maje i cant download tor from tor web , the is anther web ? plz [09:42] sobersabre, oh i didn't know this model :( [09:42] spanther: it doesn't mean you are correct or incorrect though. [09:43] I need evidence.... [09:43] sobersabre, are you able to use a LiveCD on it? so you could do that to check for compatibility first :) [09:43] like lspci [09:43] duckx0r: sudo apt-get install gnome-chat gives can't find package [09:43] spanther: I want to order it and use it, without "Trying Live CD". [09:43] MikeChelen: that is what Mozilla suggests [09:43] I'm having this problem with my sound. Have no more .. Ubuntu (9.04) tells me my HDA intel is not working anymore, falling back to Pulse audio. Which i though was ok. But still i have no more sound. I tried a relaod of alsa, which didn't change anything. Could anyone give me a clue ? [09:43] eVias: PulseAudio is software. [09:44] maje and how i install MIkeChelen ? from sudo ? [09:44] does your card work with ALSA or OSS only ? [09:44] no idea [09:44] it's a dell pc [09:44] eVias: ("software" i mean it's something above the drivers.

[09:45] is there anybody with E5500 Latitude around here ? [09:45] cybersplice: it did not work [09:45] MIkeChelen: freenode does not allow connections via mibbit [09:45] gstreamer-propreties [09:46] allows me to test multiple things [09:46] none of them gives me any sound back [09:46] or other laptop with Intel's GMA 4500MHD [09:46] eVias: make sure no process uses the sound file now. [09:46] Karmic... im braking up with you. but i want you to know.. its not me.. its you. [09:46] ALSA + OSS says can't use to read. [09:46] ok [09:46] sobersabre, seems not running out of the box so far :/ [09:46] searched google a bit now [09:46] eVias: the best way to mess with sound is in console. [09:47] which IM is better .. pidgin or kopete [09:47] spanther: this means I cannot order it. [09:47] i figured :D [09:47] which IM is better .. pidgin or kopete [09:47] www.meebo.com sleepy_cat ;) :D [09:47] MikeChelen: webchat.freenode.net worked! Thank you!

[09:48] fstxx: oh yeah cool, that is the one to use for freenode :) [09:48] how to see which "viewer" man is using? [09:48] and how to change the viewer for man [09:48] no i meant mandriva now supports kopete so i was wondering is it better than pidgin to certain extent [09:49] i like empathy :d [09:49] sleepy_cat: kopete = kde [09:49] eL_pSycHo: you could try dpkg-reconfigure gvfs-fuse [09:49] taofd: may i ask why?????/ [09:49] i cant install tor from the tor web is block in Saudi Arabia so there is another web ?

[09:53] So far Karmic is un-installable... every time I install I get a GRUB 15 error when I reboot [09:54] eL_pSycHo, that's weird... it shouldn't just "not work" === bruno is now known as Guest62863 [09:54] eL_pSycHo, maybe check on the forums if other users are experiencing a similar problem?

[09:56] sleepy_cat: consider it just a linux app [09:56] It can with a minimum subset of required hooks [09:56] hmm ok [09:56] I need to meet certain requirements (CPU, mem), and I want full h/w graphics support by already existing linux distro (like 9.10) [09:57] and out of all that I've been suggested this Dell machine looked ok, [09:57] sleepy_cat: depends what KDE app you wanna run... for example kopete runs under gnome...... [09:57] but now I see it's NOT ok. [09:57] so some work some dont [09:57] any kde app will run as long as you meet the deps [09:57] sleepy_cat: but it has to download a bunch of crap to work.

Trying to create a bootable usb stick for intalling ubuntu using usb-creator and it's abysmally slow, the wiki says that if this is the case sync should be disabled, however googling results in no useful results as to how to do it. [11:45] jrib: so according the DMCA it's illegal, but it's never been tried? [11:45] san123: ok does the bluetooth device show as loading ok in dmesg | less [11:46] i can't seem to move files that where the filename contains a colon [11:46] ya i did then i went to preferences but it is disabled there and no option to enable [11:46] any ideas on how I can fix this ?

Do I need reboot? [11:47] reni__: reinstall java [11:47] reni__: the fancy uploader uses java, you need the sun java, open java makes things messy [11:47] ActionParsnip, through firefox or through terminal? [11:47] reni__: from synaptic [11:47] jrib: assumedly libdvdread4 was built from scratch using non-proprietary code? [11:47] reni__: however, just get the sun java installed [11:47] ubuntu on a external drive = FTW? [11:47] !java | reni__ [11:47] reni__: 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 [11:47] ActionParsnip, thanks. [11:48] Deathvalley122: good for testing [11:48] thanks [11:48] KenBW2: no idea. Presumably...

[11:48] see my bluetooth is showing disabled http://www.picpaste.com/Screenshot_2.png how do i enable [11:48] Deathvalley122: usb is god slow compared to internal connection, usb is bursty as hell too so makes it even slower [11:48] how do I uninstall open java? [11:48] reni__: how did you install it? [11:49] jrib, firefox did that for me. [11:49] reni__: search for java in add /remove apps, yuo can remove it that way [11:49] reni__: use the java factoid to install sun java [11:49] san123: people would probably be more willing to help if you weren't demanding it [11:49] coz_, thanks [11:49] Bruc, no problem :) [11:49] KenBW2, what do you mean? [11:49] what if it's a 2.0 ActionParsnip? [11:50] san123: did you read through dmesg | less it will show the device coming online and getting loaded (if it is) [11:50] Bruc, if at some point you want to try the extra plugins let me know or meet me in #compiz channel :) [11:50] san123: be a little more courteous [11:50] Deathvalley122: there is zero buffering in usb 2, firewire is much better over prolonged transfers [11:50] KenBW2, ok [11:50] ActionParsnip, hey [11:50] Deathvalley122: which is what makes firewir kick the ass off usb [11:50] ActionParsnip: looking at the response to deathvalley compared to a normal sata drive wouldnt usb be slightly faster? at least a flash drive [11:50] hi Bruc [11:51] lol ActionParsnip I don't have firewire port :( [11:51] coz_, did that work [11:51] my provider gives a me username and password and service name witch i`m suppose to use to make pppoe connection , failed making connection trought network manager and pppoe in terminal so i installed wicd but it doesn`t seems that i can make pppoe connection with it , any help ?

[12:23] hellyeah: if you run: groups are you a member of the admin group? [12:24] JonathanEllis, your disks are the same speed? [12:24] JonathanEllis: thats what i'm going for but s/he may not be able to use sudo due to groups [12:25] hellyeah: do you see the word admin? [12:25] word admin [12:25] who is that [12:25] hellyeah: in a terminal, type: groups then press enter [12:26] heya [12:26] JonathanEllis, your setup 1 has the advantage of allowing you to do a clean install if you need to someday [12:26] hellyeah: you will see a list of groups you are the member of [12:26] Deathvalley122, you agree with me that a new update can't change you're dvd reader no ? i've noticed something btw i had made an direct dist-upgrade from 9.04 and i was not happy and thinking it was comming from the upgrade, i backed up and made a brand new install and it was working a lot better for me, maybe that's a clue. But i also had some problems with some drivers but some drivers were also reconised directly that wa [12:26] s not reconised on last updates [12:26] hellyeah: do you see the word "admin"? === tPl0ch is now known as cakebuster [12:26] again, why would devkit-disks-daemon eat up to 30% of my CPU time? it wasn't happening prior to today's upgrades [12:26] I don't like idea of karmic not supporting my dvd drive or at least I think it is at any cost I have to unmount the stupid thing when I hit eject button cause I think it gets stuck on not unmounting when I eject a disk [12:26] hi, how to specify specified version for apt-get install ? apt-show-versions show for my openssl that there is two version 0.9.8g-14 and 0.9.8g-15+lenny5, now i need to install this lenny, how to do it? [12:26] Deathvalley122: tried ejecting from nautilus? [12:27] JonathanEllis, I keep my /home separate and have 3 different root partitions for the current and 2 last versions of my os which allows me to recover easily to a known good operating system when need be [12:27] apassi, in debian? [12:27] bazhang: [12:27] jacquesdupontd: I did a clean install and the issue still persists [12:27] bazhang: yeah [12:27] JonathanEllis, First one seems pretty good without the extra partition crammed in the 40GB disk. [12:27] apassi, #debian for debian questions [12:27] hellyeah: its not a hard task, a single word command in a terminal [12:27] Deathvalley122, what i want to say afterall is all those problems like any problem on a computer can be solved and with ubuntu most of the time easily and when your hardware is working good you can appreciate "karmic" as what it is [12:27] bazhang: damit :D wrong channel. =) [12:27] bazhang: thanks [12:27] ActionParsnip: anything I do I get my logs filled up with error messages [12:28] Deathvalley122, do you understand what i'm trying to mean ?* [12:28] hi there [12:28] Deathvalley122: nice [12:28] JonathanEllis, so I also would recommend your scheme 1 [12:28] hello [12:28] apassi: Why -- most of the kernel will still be based on the openssl version used during the compile [12:28] I need assistance with my lexmark z605 printer... [12:28] acuster: Good question. I have three disks available to use: (1) Hitachi Deskstar HDS728040PLAT20 41.1GB 7200RPM, (2) Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8 40GB (3) Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120GB. I dont know the speeds of the Maxtors but I will google that [12:28] jacquesdupontd: I do === Sevet_ is now known as Sevet [12:29] I appreciate all the hard work they put into it [12:29] sampo: can you expand please, does it not instal? is it only printing blue? [12:29] thanks for the help about 5.1 ill will reboot and retry [12:29] I fowwloed the instruction "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=49714" [12:29] but any cost I do not know the reason why my dvd drive occurs issues in karmic [12:29] but it says job could not be printed... [12:29] Where is "Add/Remove Software"? Im my ubuntu, theres no this [12:30] How to install it? [12:30] sampo: i found this: http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-Z600_Series [12:30] Deathvalley122, you would have come to me i would have helped you and it would be fixed, i have the quality/default to never let down something not working or not finished or not fixed, i'm not the type of guy that doesn't install last versions just to have a stable and known os, it took me approx 2 days to set it perfectly [12:30] S4nD3r, install what? [12:31] ok, thanks I will try that one for now...be soon back...thanx again [12:31] The option to add/remove software in my applications menu [12:31] lol jacquesdupontd I do have a forum posted on it if you want to take a look [12:31] S4nD3r: use software-center instead [12:31] S4nD3r, You usually install software from repositories mostly [12:31] ?? [12:31] Deathvalley122, why not , always curious :) [12:31] synaptic is crashed [12:31] S4nD3r: its whats replacing add/remove [12:31] dont work repositories [12:31] jacquesdupontd: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8193361 [12:31] What's happened to portable device install? I can't find it in Karmic [12:31] Deathvalley122, first i wanna know was it working perfectly on 9.04 for example ? [12:31] i'm dualbooting ubuntu and a few other OSes. can i tell grub2 to use ubuntu's root partition so as not to mess with my existing stuff? it could be done with former versions but i just want to check if it's still possible, with the new grub and all... [12:32] yes it was jacquesdupontd [12:32] I have also notice they have removed alsamixer from karmic [12:32] when I try to use synaptic, settings/repositories, nothing happens, how to solve it? [12:33] Deathvalley122, seems it comes from a link to automounted devices, like it was taking your dvd drive as an external drivers like a usb key [12:33] S4nD3r: sudo apt-get --reinstall install synaptic maybe === BeCreative is now known as LarsB [12:34] Just popped back in, TML, to say that having rebooted, my system seems to have survived and working better than ever. [12:34] yea but it's not a external dvd drive jacquesdupontd [12:34] hi all got a question [12:34] lol [12:34] Deathvalley122, i'm pretty sure that was the problem cause it already happened to me some years ago [12:34] S4nD3r, You can use the new "Software Center" or in terminal write: "sudo apt-get install gnome-app-install" and then run "gnome-app-install" to use the old Add remove software program [12:34] can someone help me please [12:34] !ask [12:34] !meta [12:34] 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. :-) [12:34] If you would like to help in #*ubuntu* but it just goes too fast to spot interesting questions, try joining #ubuntu-meta and watching for questions there (note that it is NOT a support channel, however, and questions should still be answered in #*ubuntu*) [12:34] Deathvalley122, i understand but just to tell it could have been fixed easily [12:34] How do I remove/hide the devices under "Computer" and "Places" menu? For example, I see the icons for my encrypted partitions, when they are already mounted. I want to hide these icons. (I am not referring to the desktop icons.) [12:34] i am trying to get camfrog video chat to open with wine but when it does it crashes [12:35] ok ubuntu has offically messed me, it changed the format of my HD so it's not windows compatiable anymore...if i delete ubuntu will it go back to the same HD format....It says it should be NFS readable...and also i think ubuntu has crashed my HD i can not find my c and d drives not even in windows.... [12:35] S4nD3r: could try running: gksudo synaptic from a terminal to get intelligent outputs [12:35] Deathvalley122, could even come from a bad reconisation of your motherboard and not the dvd itself [12:35] airforece if u delete it yes it will go back to same format [12:35] hmm I don't know if this is a bug or what cause I filed it as a bug jacquesdupontd [12:36] cause i had the same problem once [12:36] damo: is it compatible with wine? did you check the appdb? [12:36] yes i saw but really if it's what made you rollback that's sad cause we could have fixed it without many pain [12:36] and I seem to not get any response from the dev [12:36] no i didnt action [12:36] i dont know how too [12:36] i'm dualbooting ubuntu and a few other OSes. during installation, can i tell grub2 to use ubuntu's root partition so as not to mess with my existing stuff?

[12:38] Deathvalley122, i can even tell you that karmic is one of the best ubuntu version for me when it's working, my prolem was more with the ati card but it was the same problem on 9.04 cause of the new xorg 7.4 [12:38] bidossessi: hmm, still simple manners seem forgotten, its a sad world [12:39] * bidossessi nods [12:39] !hi | PaulChater [12:39] PaulChater: 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! [12:39] How do I remove/hide the devices under "Computer" and "Places" menu? For example, I see the icons for my encrypted partitions, when they are already mounted. I want to hide these icons. (I am not referring to the desktop icons.) [12:39] ActionParsnip, gksudo synaptic does nothing different. [12:39] hassanakevazir, where is Software Center? [12:39] S4nD3r Applications>at the bottom of the list [12:39] S4nD3r under the Administration [12:39] S4nD3r, applications -->software centre [12:40] if i have a network device configured as 10.61.33.40 on lan directly connected to eth1 (10.61.32.1) - should i be able to ping it? [12:40] oh sorry .. [12:40] sealview, no its not [12:40] Just wondering if any of you have had problems with Firefox under 64 Bit Karmic.... Basically what's happening is when I open it, it just ends up closing immediately, I don't even get to see the ubuntu google page. [12:40] well I can't burn anything jacquesdupontd cause of my dvd drive issue :( [12:40] Deathvalley122, if you search or even ask here for someone to help you with ati cards and drivers and settings you can be pretty sure nobody will help [12:40] Deathvalley122: does yourh CD/DVD drive not automount disks??? [12:40] Deathvalley122, i understand that's really problematic [12:40] S4nD3r: does the terminal give any clues [12:41] Deathvalley122, but are you still on karmic can we still try to fix the bug ? [12:41] PaulChater: start it from terminal and look at the debug-messages [12:41] Deathvalley122: does it detect ok at boot? check dmesg | less [12:41] eL_pSycHo: it seems so [12:41] yes I am [12:41] I never changed [12:41] lol [12:41] iceroot: Just said seg fault. [12:41] Deathvalley122: so they dont automount? or they do? for me they dont.. F'ing Karmic [12:41] Theres no software center [12:41] PaulChater: i love those errors. May as well say "something broke" [12:42] i fixed my sound problem [12:42] thanks to ubuntu forum [12:42] eL_pSycHo, watch the language [12:42] added a line to my alsa-base.conf file [12:42] and now it works fine [12:42] hey please, why i do ping to all the ip's in my wlan and just the gateway and my computer respond? [12:42] ActionParsnip: I agree haha. [12:42] Do you want to know my system specs? [12:42] PaulChater: have you tried renaming ~/.mozilla to test if the profile is bad? [12:42] I tried to install ubuntu-restricted-extras (9.10 on an amd64 machine) and it would not get past the java install. A licensing agreement came up that wouldn't permit the user to respond to. But I had to exit from apt-get "hard" and now anytime I run apt-get (or package manager) any install will fail. How can I fix this? [12:42] no it won't when I uh hit the eject button eL_pSycHo [12:42] PaulChater: no, its not important [12:42] S4nD3r, what version of Ubuntu are you running? or actually, what was the issue again? [12:42] ActionParsnip: I've tried deleting the entire ~/.mozilla directory :) [12:43] gantrixx, use the tab key to get to ok [12:43] I keep getting the error "Errors were encountered while processing: [12:43] ttf-mscorefonts-installer [12:43] " [12:43] bazhang, thanks [12:43] gantrixx, that will take a bit to find, had the same issue here [12:43] but now I can't even run apt-get [12:43] Deathvalley122: good luck fixing it. no one has been able to help here and i've been on it for three days.. thats karmic for you. [12:43] gantrixx, the ms fonts that is [12:43] PaulChater: wowsers, erm ok try this: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 [12:43] ActionParsnip: Also tried purging aptitudes db to remove it, then reinstalling still no luck. [12:43] ActionParsnip, if i have something that i'm quite sad of is the new software installing program wich seems not to be finished and you're totally obliged to use synaptic at the end [12:43] bazhang, yes [12:43] Im 8.10 [12:44] bazhang, how do I recover from the ms fonts error? [12:44] jacquesdupontd: i dont use either, i always use apt-get [12:44] PaulChater: use firefox instead of firefox-3.5 [12:44] gantrixx, what error do you get from apt-get [12:44] PaulChater: its a metapackage [12:44] bazhang, Errors were encountered while processing: [12:44] ttf-mscorefonts-installer [12:44] ActionParsnip, and they made like it was a brand new stuff but we already had a kind of add/remove software that i even find better [12:44] eL_pSycHo: yes I know no one seems to help me on this I kept getting told it was a kernel issue then the next min it something to do with brasero [12:44] gantrixx, does update/upgrade/install packages otherwise work ok [12:44] jacquesdupontd: try apt-get :) [12:44] jacquesdupontd: i usinstall software-centre. I never use it so I save space [12:44] so I don't know [12:45] the problem is: synaptic do not allows I change repositories [12:45] iceroot, thx but i always apt-getted :) [12:45] iceroot, ActionParsnip: STill nothing. [12:45] nothing happens when I click there [12:45] bazhang, yes it runs, but it can't install any packages, it always reports this error [12:45] hey people. Is there a way with UbuntuOne to automatically synchronize my tomboy notes? I have tomboy setup to synchronize with UbuntuOne, but it doesn't synchronize automatically, I have to do it manually now [12:45] Deathvalley122: tried a different burner? [12:45] iceroot, ActionParsnip: Just opens then closes :( [12:45] Deathvalley122: i heard the same about brasero and libbrasero.... didnt do a thing for me. [12:45] mtop6867: Hi [12:45] PaulChater: even after a complete reinstall? [12:45] S4nD3r, Change repositories to what? what exactly do you want to do ? [12:45] ActionParsnip: Yup. [12:45] PaulChater: is it ok with firefox -safe-mode [12:45] Is there any way to allow an external NTFS drive to be available to more than just one user? [12:46] ActionParsnip: Not even that works. [12:46] PaulChater: does: firefox -p show anything? [12:46] cool [12:46] yes ... eL_pSycHo === erwin is now known as Guest78482 [12:46] ActionParsnip, may you can help me, would like to manage services in karmic but the simple software that was doing it can't be found [12:46] hi [12:46] ActionParsnip: Seg faults... [12:46] PaulChater: wow thats some mad stuff [12:46] bazhang, and the same thing if I run the graphical package manager [12:46] Id like to install openoffice.org 3 [12:46] hey please, why i do ping to all the ip's in my wlan and just the gateway and my computer respond? [12:47] I just don't know what to do ... jacquesdupontd if you come up with answers lol maybe it can be fixed I just don't know what to do and I don't seem to get any help for it at all ... [12:47] PaulChater: could try: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main as a repo to install the daily build [12:47] I just wanted to upgrade to 9.10 and the update-manager gives me "authenticity of a list of packages can't be verified" (txlated from german). what am I supposed to do about it? [12:47] ActionParsnip: I believe in this case it's safe to say .... "Canonical effed Firefox up the rectal entry in Karmic." [12:47] acuster and anyone else with an opinion: Thanks for the advice on partitioning. I need to choose between 40 GB disks for my root partition then. The choices are (1) Hitachi Deskstar HDS728040PLAT20 41.1GB 7200RPM, (2) Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8 40GB. I understand from http://www.storagereview.com/6E040L0.sr?page=0%2C2 that the Maxtor might be a bit slow but unfortunately they dont have a review of the Hitachi Deskstar, although an IBM Deskstar performs [12:47] PaulChater: its a rubbish browser anyroad [12:47] ActionParsnip: Nah, It has its perks... I can't live without my Web dev tool bar / firebug / etc. [12:47] gantrixx, what were you trying to install? the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, correct ? what about other items, what errors (apart from the ms fonts error) do you get [12:48] Deathvalley122: if you are like me and dont like the new notification positions (the middle of the screen) here is how to fix at least that in Karmic http://blog.mahboy.com/archives/248 [12:48] bazhang, yes [12:48] PaulChater: or RAM? [12:48] bazhang, but since then I've tried to install other things [12:48] gn all take care [12:48] Deathvalley122, for sure what i've learned in computer science is that everything can be fixed and most of the time you have even 10 different ways to do it, but here should be even more simple it's on ubuntu so tell me if you're still on karmic and has still the problem so i could try to helo you to fix that [12:48] ActionParsnip: it could be worse... one could be using that joke called Chrome. =p [12:48] ActionParsnip: Nothin' wrong with me ram.... I have 6GB's of the stuff :D [12:48] I tried deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu/ intrepid main in source.list [12:48] software center was cool [12:48] but, theres no openoffice.org 3 there [12:49] bazhang, none of them seem to complete because it always hangs on the ttf-mscorefonts thing [12:49] jacquesdupontd: yes I am still on karmic [12:49] I never changed ... [12:49] gantrixx, i had to download the mscore fonts manually [12:49] ok [12:50] OerHeks, what package uses the msfonts....I'll just remove it [12:50] lemme 5 minutes, i drug myself i'm falling on my keyboard [12:50] gantrixx, they do install [12:50] Deathvalley122, jacquesdupontd, if you can fix the CD/DVD problem please let me know... [12:50] OerHeks, how do I install them manually? [12:50] gantrixx, and the ms fonts issue will eventually connect with those outside repos [12:50] S4nD3r, did you Reload in synaptics? "sudo apt-get update" [12:50] ActionParsnip: I am interested you say Firefox is a rubbish browser. Did I understand you right. Can you share why you think that please and what you would recommend instead? I have had problems with firefox being slow in the past but I assumed that was my very old hardware. [12:50] bazhang, what do you mean "eventually connect"? [12:50] gantrixx, momento, i search for the solution [12:51] yes [12:51] gantrixx, it took me 5 tries of erroring out before they installed (error out/time out) [12:51] OerHeks, "momento" hablas español? [12:51] I did [12:51] !es [12:51] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [12:51] but, theres no openoffice.org 3 there [12:51] just for my [12:51] my [12:51] me [12:51] S4nD3r: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:51] * PaulChater tries installing Firefox 3.6 [12:51] #python [12:52] Hmm even that does the same. [12:52] many sites, in google, tells to do the same change [12:52] S4nD3r: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/install-openoffice-31-in-ubuntu-jaunty.html [12:52] ActionParsnip: Unless it's something to do with the Gnome GlobalMenu applet which I have. [12:52] S4nD3r, it doesn't show up as openoffice 3 , just go to System > Administration > Update Manager , and update. you'll have openoffice 3 after the update [12:52] S4nD3r: just change the release name to karmic [12:52] S4nD3r, you are using intrepid correct? [12:52] Deathvalley122, could you do a "lshw" when your dvd reader is working ? [12:52] gantrixx, use the solution from boehr #15 > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1238323&page=2 [12:53] Deathvalley122, and then pastebin me T [12:53] it === ogra_ is now known as ogra [12:53] bazhang, I dont know.

Does it have to fat32? [12:57] stuarticus: ext3 and ext4 will reduce the life of the USB stick due to the journal [12:57] I'm having trouble with hibernate on a Lenovo g530 which once worked fine. I've researched and found suggestions to install uswsusp (then run s2disk) and the hibernate script package. Neither worked, s2disk takes and snapshot then goes back to X, hibernate script puts me back to a password prompt as if coming back from a "suspend." Any ideas? [12:57] ta [12:57] Deathvalley122, seems you have 2 dvd drivers ? [12:57] stuarticus: you can use ext2 which is ext3 less the journal [12:57] yes [12:57] thanks [12:58] I do jacquesdupontd [12:58] minderaser: hibernate is very hard to get nice on some systems [12:59] ActionParsnip: I doubt you remember me, but a week (or 2?) ago I was having a problem and while you didn't outright give me the answer, you got me thinking all a line that led me to the answer. I tried to come back to say thanks but you were gone. So, thanks!! [12:59] the sony one I use quite often jacquesdupontd [13:00] ActionParsnip: see above. :-) The odd thing is is that it worked PERFECTLY until very recently. [13:00] minderaser: np ro [13:00] minderaser: ok, what changed? [13:00] holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAA!ªªªªªª [13:00] msxcb [13:00] 123 [13:00] usuario__, hello [13:00] ActionParsnip: That worked!

[13:01] usuario__, this is english only [13:01] oju [13:01] ActionParsnip: It's the old "Mac Menu" thing. [13:01] lol [13:01] is it possible to connect from non-ubuntu to ubuntu one? [13:01] u just need the client tools, right? [13:02] Deathvalley122, i found a patch, apparently it's a known issue since 8.10 [13:02] no se ablar englis [13:02] PaulChater: i dont use mac [13:02] ActionParsnip: I've been trying to remember and I'm not sure. I think it may have been reinstalling grub. Maybe [13:02] it is? [13:02] usuario__, you were eeE earlier. Please stop. [13:02] h [13:02] I'll try it jacquesdupontd [13:02] m4rk: ubuntu one does not support x-platform yet, for x-platform try dropbox. [13:02] jacquesdupontd: hello [13:02] minderaser: maybe its a boot option thats missing [13:03] Can't see why that would affect it though. [13:03] fcuk112, how do u connect to drop box [13:03] Hello [13:03] My bash_history doesnt show what I just typed, is this normal? [13:03] fcuk112, duz ne 1 no? [13:03] Deathvalley122, the thing is it seems that if you had installed karmic with just a simple data cd inside your dvd drive it would have worked, lemme guess you installed ubuntu with the other dvd drive ? [13:03] htey indus how do you do ? [13:04] jacquesdupontd: good thanks [13:04] ActionParsnip: Oh. Really? I wouldn't have thought that grub would have much to do with hibernating. I'll try googling that and see what I get. Thanks [13:04] no I installed it with the sony one but I burned the iso on the other dvd drive jacquesdupontd [13:04] hi, i run vmware workstation on a win2K host, with Ubuntu Hardy Server as guest and can't configure the network, can someone help me ?

I don't usually like forums cause they are slower than chats to get answers, but i have solved my issues thanks to that forum, so i'll try , guess it'll work [13:13] damo: you need a different app or a linux alternative [13:13] not compatible with wine or ubuntu ? [13:13] Deathvalley122, do you have this error sometimes : ata2.00 failed to set xfermode. [13:13] damo: wine [13:13] kk thanks ill try open the exe with virtual box [13:13] damo: and as its a windows app, it needs wine [13:13] o [13:13] so i cant use virtual box [13:13] damo, you need to install windows in virtualbox [13:13] damo: maybe theres a native equivelant [13:14] kk [13:14] well, got to go i can't keep one more time my vejiga is about to explode brb soooooooon [13:14] i see [13:14] no jonathanEllis i figured it out myself on the upgrade way [13:14] damo: virtualbox just allows you to install windows under another OS [13:14] damo: maybe it'll work in vbox [13:14] no jacquesdupontd [13:14] oh installation= upgrade [13:14] damo: if you want a vbox you will need a windows license and install media [13:14] i dont wanna install another system on here [13:14] when i click on wired network connections on the tray it says my wired network eth1 is not connected, but it is connected in my windows partition, how come?

[13:33] i fail xD [13:33] damo: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [13:33] Empathy is just pure fail [13:33] livingdaylight: apt-get remove whatever [13:33] damo, sudo apt-get install ubuntu -restricted-extras should work [13:34] damo, I think it's 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer'. [13:34] livingdaylight: If you want to use or prefer Pidgin. use it, look at Debian.org or Launchpad for the reasoning why packages were are are removed/replaced. [13:34] livingdaylight: indeed, gogo konversation instead. [13:34] livingdaylight, inferior is completely relative. Empathy does flawless video chat over xmpp. Pidgin does not. Empathy has an enthusiastic upstream team, pidgin...is questionable. Empathy uses the gnome presence libraries and integrates better. Again, pidgin does not. [13:34] For IRC i use dedicated irc clients.. i dont use any other IM clients/systems. Other then steam :) [13:34] ActionParsnip, no cigar [13:34] cheater99: did the deb install? [13:34] livingdaylight, For xmpp, pidgin is a poor client [13:35] vigo: that is why i am asking because i presume there was some rationale behind replacing a seemingly superior app, pidgin in this case, with and inferior one, and i don't want to mess my system up if there is such a rationale behind it [13:35] i did that, the deb said there were errors. now it still tries to do yaws when i'm doing apt-get -f install [13:35] i get this error the package edobe flash plugin needs to be reinstalled but i cant fine an archive for it [13:35] Dr_Willis: it connects to the server and transmits and recieves data, its a client to the irc service on the server [13:35] livingdaylight: id leave it installed and just install/use the other. [13:35] so um [13:35] livingdaylight, If pidgin is better for your use case, just install it from the app center. Wasn't so hard no was it :) [13:35] Dr_Willis: ok, that is a thought [13:35] can uit be fixed :D [13:35] cheater99: can you pastebin the output of the force install please [13:35] mnemoc: neither x86info nor dmidecode are able to provide that info apparently [13:35] Would it be good to edit ubottu's response to "ask" and "hi" to include information on how to ask a question in a way that makes it easy to answer such as http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LinuxQuestions_org/How_To_Ask_a_Question or http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#intro? [13:35] ActionParsnip, for you anything [13:35] erry: State your question in 1 line only. [13:35] ;) [13:35] although i'm using numpad mouse [13:35] so it'll take time [13:36] veggteppe, i plugged my mp3 in my laptop and its not mpuned? [13:36] mounted* [13:36] unimatrix: then... wikipedia :) [13:36] non-point, found it... reboot :) [13:36] did someone see the error i got i wrote it in the room [13:36] oh [13:36] wait [13:36] i cut the box off now so cnt write it again [13:36] nvm [13:36] is it possible for me to have a proxy profile? whenever i connect to one ssid/profile (wireless) it automatically changes proxy? [13:36] i plugged the wrong cable in [13:36] * erry runs away [13:36] erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:36] SEJeff: inferior is not that relative... people quickly draw a common consensus... perhaps empathy has video, but pidgin is superior functionally in every other way, that i can tell [13:36] damo, install ubuntu-restricted-extras to get flash and a bunch of stuff. [13:36] mnemoc: are you suggesting i write a lowlevel program that reads CPU information? [13:36] damo: You might find it more useful to write the error in pastebin.com [13:37] woble, that's good. [13:37] i dont know how to do all this [13:37] veggteppe: gnome user here... prefer not to mix kde apps [13:37] where do i get restricted extras [13:37] unimatrix: almost, to extend x86info and/or dmidecode to provide it :) [13:37] damo: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:37] livingdaylight, Again... that is relative. Your opinion and a few others that agree with you != common consensus. I can find plenty of people that disagree with you and think empathy is far superior if not only because of the libs and stack it uses for presence on the backend. [13:37] damo, open a terminal [13:37] damo, you might try 'sudo apt-get remove --purge flashpl*', then 'sudo apt-get update', then 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer'. [13:37] Can anyone point me to the right direction for configuring proxy settings for command-line apt in 9.10? I tried defining proxy in /etc/bash.bashrc (not correctly spelled, sorry) and /etc/apt/apt.config.d/770configfile without any luck [13:38] Someone is going on Facebook here ?? [13:38] should clear the config files. [13:38] livingdaylight: okay =) [13:38] erm [13:38] i can't figure out how to drag with the numpad mouse :-\ how do i redirect stderr to a file again? [13:38] tad81, a question related to ubuntu? [13:38] !who damo [13:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about who damo [13:38] SEJeff: can't even open another irc #room with Empathy [13:38] non-point, Just tell newbs to use the software center or synaptic. Otherwise "linux is hard" myths will spread [13:38] bazhang: yes [13:38] damo: go to main menu>accessories>terminal [13:38] tad81, then please ask [13:38] livingdaylight: The explanation and reasoning for the removal from the Default Install is explained in detail at Launchpad.net and Debian.org. Yes, there was some reasoning to it being depreciated, but it still exists and you or anyone are free to choose what you prefer to use. I forget the actual reasoning, so I suggested that you look them up and decide for yourself. [13:38] livingdaylight, Oh don't get me started on how complete shite pidgin is for IRC... Likely the same for irc. use xchat for irc === maemo is now known as cocayden [13:38] damo: there after the $ symbol type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [13:38] bazhang: i cant play on zynga poker properly via Linux mint 7 on Facebook [13:39] *s/irc. use/empathy. use/ [13:39] bazhang: i dont see the table [13:39] SEJeff: for IM chat smileys are far fewer than in pidgin and not easily and intuitively accessible... maybe empathy is better under the hood but from a users perspective it is more limited, other than the video use [13:39] cheater99: you got me there [13:39] there was something like &2>1 or something like that [13:39] hi we are using ubuntu 8.04.3 lts and we cant manage to move the screen tab(taskbar) around.. we keep clicking on stuff [13:39] livingdaylight, SEJeff let's move this #ubuntu-offtopic please [13:39] xD === Axis is now known as ph33r [13:39] vigo: can you give me a link to that to help me understand?

[13:40] rocknroll00: for stuff not in the repos /usr/local/ is a normal place to put things.. or perhaps in /opt/ [13:40] ph33r: you want guides like that [13:40] ph33r, you need to convert it [13:40] ph33r: thats all i know [13:40] SEJeff: thank you :) [13:40] DrWillis: thanks :) [13:40] bazhang: ohh so I can't play them ?

I tried defining proxy in /etc/bash.bashrc (not correctly spelled, sorry) and /etc/apt/apt.config.d/770configfile without any luck [13:41] bazhang: well, it's not changing anything, it's playing without sound as before :( [13:41] tad81, no idea about mint 7; you should seek mintsupport [13:42] anyone else having problems installing directly from the 9.10 alternate disk?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [13:55] ActionParsnip: i have evaluated them all extensively [13:55] Is that a console program?

Masonix supports ldxe out of the box, the ozos is ubuntu with e17 built-in. In both cases however you could just add the gui component out of the box with the base ubuntu install [14:03] valdur55: fluxbuntu, moonos, crunchbang are light too (although unofficial) [14:04] hi all [14:04] hi Mi [14:04] Running Karmix Netbook Remix on a 1.6ghz Acer netbook and unable to change the screen refresh , its set to Zero , and no Xorg.conf file to change. even if i manualy at one it dont change things, any ideas [14:04] I love Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix!!!

[14:04] Does gnome-power-manager work correctly for you? For me it seems to ignore some of the settings. [14:05] and its so fast [14:05] :) [14:05] ive found so far that nvidia works better thats just me [14:05] Hi all! I'm looking for software to edit video from a digital camcorder.

[14:05] Emanon: nvidia support is great in linux [14:05] valdur55: outside of ubuntu/debian family, there is DSL (damn small linux) and puppy linux -- really however what sets any distro apart is the strength of its repositories -- debian has some of the largest in the world [14:06] ati seems to be a lil flaky in linux (maybe i missed an easy fix) [14:06] Halitech: out of the box? === renata is now known as ambient_sky [14:06] valdur55: If you are really aggressive -- you could always install arch or gentoo -- however these are not usually for novices [14:06] DSL is built off of Debian though... [14:06] MiGri, was okay but worked better after installing the ati driver [14:07] nbohaychuk, does DSL now use debian repositories? [14:07] not sure, does it? [14:07] nbohaychuk, Thats why I asked-- Im not sure? [14:07] Halitech: the catalyst 9.10? [14:07] I never ised it much, its sitting on my ancient flash drive [14:07] ati is cheaper (in general) so it might be worth it to find one that has good reputation under linux and do the lil extra to make it work if you wanna save the dough [14:07] I think DSL does after doing a hard drive install [14:07] MiGri: I have also prefer nvidia [14:07] oh [14:07] hello:) [14:07] had a question about swap files... i just created a new swap partition on another hd... do i need to worry about permissions to be able to start using it or can i just replace the UUID line currently in the fstab? [14:08] MiGri, I think I used the 9.9 and havent updated yet [14:08] I'm asking as I heard about grafics issues in 9.10 [14:08] I havent gotten to the point of having an internet connection yet in DSL [14:08] dont think swap HAS permissions does it? its accessible to all users [14:08] hello, im wanting to get a new hdd for my laptop, and without taking it to bits and I able to tell if its sata or not in ubuntu, is sda1 meening sata? [14:08] but, it's a bit ugly, I prefer Ubuntu and Kubuntu === eVias is now known as eVias`Work [14:09] Lord-Readman, sdX will refer to both in newer versions [14:09] nomopofomo: should be ok [14:09] Emanon, I would think swap would only be accessible to the kernel. [14:09] ActionParsnip: thanks [14:09] i like kubuntu more than ubuntu but the little glitches and inconsistancies were driving me slowly but violently insane [14:09] what pakage sould a download for flashplayer? [14:09] ah, so ubuntu does use the hda1 or anything? [14:09] doesnt* [14:09] Emanon: same here, too glitchy [14:09] nomopofomo: the permissions will be the same as the pervious one when used so makes sense [14:09] Lord-Readman, not since 6.06 if I remember right [14:09] thanks [14:10] id rather have stability with a slightly less glamorous skin if it comes down to it (wish i could have a kde4 environment that worked but oh well) [14:10] Lord-Readman, what laptop? should be able to find out from the web [14:10] nbohaychuk, Emanon: "glitchy"? yet another kde4 bashing session? [14:10] Toshiba satalite a100 [14:10] il check the website [14:10] actually i like kde4 better but 4.3 has been flipping out on me latelt [14:11] craiganth: which card do you use? [14:11] ActionParsnip: i was just worried that i'd have to use chown or something [14:11] Lord-Readman, 80.0 billion bytes, 9.5mm height, S-ATA, 5400rpm. [14:11] nomopofomo: doubt it, try and see [14:11] will do [14:11] thanks, can i get a 7200rpm one to replace it? [14:12] anyone know how I can resolve staticy distortions with my xfi xtreme music card,in karmic? [14:12] I have ati 3870 on one pc and nvidia geforce on the other but the nvidia has less probs with desktop effects etc. [14:12] Good day [14:12] might just be cause its new with 9.10 but other lil things were bugging me since before that (no irc in kopete amarok with no shoutcast etc) [14:12] so guys? [14:12] also ati not that clear in dvd photos [14:12] truth: Do you have the leenk/URL? [14:12] Ubuntu doesnt want t blank my dvd-rw. Wodim says that blaning of the disc is unsupported [14:12] what can be the problem with voip on ubuntu [14:13] Lord-Readman, it should work, my old satellite 1800 had a 5400 ide and I put a 7200 ide in to replace it and it worked fine [14:13] and i like gstreamer better but everytime i switched the phonon backend to gstreamer it failed [14:13] is there any reason the incoming call is very choppy [14:13] so here i am [14:13] and the outgoing is all cool [14:13] ~$ sudo apt-get install abiword [14:13] Reading package lists... Done [14:13] Building dependency tree [14:13] Reading state information... Done [14:13] E: The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

Wodim doesnt blank [14:15] MiGri: too easy [14:15] how master ? [14:15] Emanon: doesn't matter which backend phonon uses [14:15] youd think it wouldnt [14:15] i need to fix this issue as its stopping me installing stuff [14:15] damo: sudo su -c "aptitude purge adobe-flashplugin" [14:15] but when i used gstreamer no sound came out [14:15] Does anyone have any recommendations for video editing software? Cinelerra? OpenShot? PiTiVi? [14:16] hi, is there any way to find out, for example, what packages were upgraded today? [14:16] guys.. my pointer themes dont work.. not even the default ones like redglass only the white default one works. === dual_ is now known as dual [14:16] emorris: /var/log/aptitude?

[14:17] woot I got 9.10 upgraded with only 1 issue and that was simple... ubuntu 4 the win [14:17] hmmm aster i did tht command [14:17] coming here was a last resort. no matter the words i google, no matter the packages i try, no matter the files i edit, no matter what i do, i can not get sound to work since i upgraded to karmic [14:17] master i did tht terminal command what should it of done ? [14:17] MasterOfDisaster, Pici: thanks [14:18] Just keep on ignoring me, ok? [14:18] no sound = deal breaker, and as a long time ubuntu user, that's a sad, sad thing [14:18] losingfaithintux: does sound work on a live cd ? [14:18] damo: it should have removed the offending package [14:18] i haven't tried a live cd [14:18] one question and it's cosmetic, how do I change the default ugly login screen when screen locks after no use for a certain period? [14:18] Hello [14:18] sorry. bad paste. anyone use the XFX GF 9600GT 600M 512MB? [14:18] losingfaithintux: that would be somthing to try. Its possible its a upgrade issue. theres been lots of upgrade issues. a clean instal lmay work [14:19] its not removed nout :S [14:19] damn ignorants [14:19] a clean install is not an option, i have far too much stuff in /home to back up, and far too little time to waste. [14:19] guys.. my mouse pointer themes dont work.. not even the default ones like redglass only the white default one works. can someone help me fix that? [14:19] how do i reinstall flash command ? [14:20] losingfaithintux: keep a seperate /home partition next time you install a system... [14:20] !patience | bercik [14:20] bercik: 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. [14:20] doesnt u buntus default install do that? [14:20] anyone? howto change the default ugly square login screen? [14:20] put home on separate partition === jo-erlend is now known as XiXaQ [14:20] data that is not backed up.. is data thats not worth keeping .. [14:20] MasterOfDisaster: No. [14:20] Dr_Willis, no truer word spoken [14:21] Dr_Willis: Go tell it on the mountain brother [14:21] * Dr_Willis has 3+TB of external usb hard drives for backups. [14:21] can someone at least tell me the directory where those pointers are so i can see if they're even there? [14:21] if it doesn't, i consider that a bug [14:21] hi @ all, i'm now have a ubuntu server. [14:21] rethus: congratz [14:21] Everytime I load the NVidia 6200 driver I reboot and can't get into the GUI. Every time I do this I have to reload Ubuntu to get back in... Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I've tried having ubunu do it for me... I've tried using the lates nvidia drivers from their site... Still no luck... Any ideas??? [14:21] does there any suggestions, which repos are good to use for ubuntu-servers? [14:21] ive gone from stacks of floppies.. to stacks of cds to stacks of dvds to stacks of external usb drives. :) [14:21] rethus, 4 the win [14:21] then buy me some hard drives. I don't have an unlimited supply of free cash to throw around. [14:21] and i think about to change my desktop from suse to kubuntu too ;) [14:22] losingfaithintux: then do wothout sound I guess.. or try more fix's you may find.. or check the forums i guess.. [14:22] I have the same issue , [14:22] eL_pSycHo, I don't know anything about mouse pointer themes. The only thing I can think of is that any animations may be being blocked by the settings for windows effects. [14:22] as it stands only use linux with its onboard gfx [14:22] How much space is enough for a root partition when the home will be on a separate partition? I want to leave space for future releases? [14:22] no sound = deal breaker. Forums, i've scoured through, found nothing helpful in my case. [14:22] hi [14:22] JonathanEllis: mine is using just under 6gb here.. i made a 10gb for / just in case. [14:22] JonathanD, I would give it 80GB [14:23] when i was upgrading to 9.10, after which i rebooted ..and i got this.. "disk boot failure,insert system disk and press enter"" OMG, i cant boot up... arghhhh [14:23] dsnyders: how do i check if they are? [14:23] losingfaithintux: try zeroing in on the problem, then you can find a solution - has the kernel detected the card? Have you tried playing sound directly with ALSA? etc. [14:23] JonathanEllis, 80GB [14:23] losingfaithintux: so you got no sound.. you dont want to do a reinstall due to no backups.. so you are stuck.. [14:23] losingfaithintux: if it works with a live cd at least you know it CAN work with 9.10 [14:23] i managed to get audacious to play music in alsa mode [14:23] johnBond, hmmmmmm either the connector on the back is loose or your drive just died [14:24] hi, is there any system dict, that pop up (for example english )words in (for examl polish and german? [14:24] losingfaithintux: so you have narrowed it down to what seems tobe a PULSE audio issue then perhaps.. try vlc/mplayer and set them touse alsa as a addational test [14:24] Halitech: connector, meaning.. [14:24] hi, is there any system dict, that pop up (for example english )words in (for example) polish and german? [14:25] johnBond, the bable on the back of the hard drive [14:25] i'd rather it all just work with pulseaudio since that's the way ubuntu's going. [14:25] eL_pSycHo, I don't know. I remember coming across a control window where you can set whether you have wobbly windows, or zooming effects. There may be mouse stuff there. [14:25] losingfaithintux: try deleting all pulseaudio/alsa specific setting from your /home... [14:25] frog, there is a polish dict for the shared dict used by apps [14:26] I installed a minimal ubuntu server edition, and apparently my xterm font doesn't display Esperanto letters. I figure this is a problem with fonts, and I wonder if I'm missing any font packages. [14:26] frog, search apt for wpolish [14:26] eitehreway i have lots of static/distortions with my audio in karmic,i hope this issue is resolved soon [14:26] losingfaithintux: rm -r ~/.pulse ~/.pulse-cookie ~/.asoundrc [14:26] losingfaithintux: also test by making a new user - and see if it works for the newly made user. [14:26] So how do people cope with video problems in the Linux world? Am I simply using the wrong flavor of Linux? [14:26] simon, I thought Esperanto used regular letters [14:26] brian__: video problemslike what? [14:26] Will another flavor of LInux better support my Nvidia 6200? [14:27] dsnyders, yeah that is the CompizConfig Settings Manager [14:27] i am in the audio group, users shouldn't be a problem [14:27] losingfaithintux: running mplayer from the command line in verbose mode with -ao pulse might help too [14:27] brian__, my driver works out of the box on ubuntu 9.10. [14:27] brian__, I installed sauerbraten and tested this. apparently, I suck at FPSes. :) [14:27] brian__: suppports mt 6250 just fine [14:27] When I load the video driver... After I reboot I lose the GUI [14:27] Dr_Willis: Thanks. I will add a dedicated swap area. Does that change the space I should allow for root or is 10GB still a good amount? [14:28] brian__: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 [14:28] brian__, supposedly, Linux Mint aims to support hardware better than Ubuntu. but it essentially is Ubuntu. [14:28] public key authentication over SSH is disabled on my server. how do i enable it? [14:28] brian__: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185-modaliases [14:28] rhaha [14:28] quizme, /etc/ssh/sshd_config [14:28] digit, eL_pSycHo is looking for help on a mouse theme. I thought there might be something on the CompizConfig settings manager. [14:28] simon: thanks [14:29] quizme, PubkeyAuthentication yes [14:29] when i do do-release-upgrade it reports that "No new release found", even though i'm running jaunty [14:29] Thanks I will try those [14:29] bugger it, i got a USB hdd in the closet i can back up /home to, and i'll reinstall. Some other night when I have the time. *sigh* I miss the days when Ubuntu was the "It just works" distro. I may go back to Debian. :( [14:29] simon: that was my next question thank you again [14:29] * om26er says cursor theme change takes place after reboot [14:29] digit: i'm looking for something that let me pop up words when do mouse over system wide. is there something llike this? [14:29] brian__: mine works fine with the beta 190 driver [14:29] Hopefully that takes care of my video issues [14:29] Any recommendations for video editing software? Cinelerra? OpenShot? PiTiVi? [14:30] dsnyders, mouse them is set in Appearance Manager under Theme->Customize->Pointer [14:30] Mine doesn't [14:30] Maybe there's something about the 6200 [14:30] I am using Ubuntu 9.10 almost without any problems, but am unable to close down. The error I get is: [1570.004052] Buffer I/O error on device loop0, logical block 1970924. Can anyone help? [14:30] Halitech: Oh.. how did it get loose.. hmmm.. Nways, U r saying it has nothing to do with upgrading to 9.10 [14:30] I also have 2 video cards [14:30] digit, don't tell me. Tell eL_pSycHo [14:30] thanks for trying, #ubuntu. Have a good night. [14:30] Not sure if that can be the problem as well [14:30] dsnyders, oops [14:31] eL_pSycHo, mouse them is set in Appearance Manager under Theme->Customize->Pointer [14:31] johnBond, hard to say, slight jarring over time might do it ... I think its coincedental that it happened when you upgraded [14:31] brian__: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/nvidia-glx-185 says it supports the 6200 [14:31] brian_: That could be a big problem, choose one and use it. [14:31] hello. Can i install GRUB to a USB Stick? (how) [14:31] Ok I will try... Thanks ActionParsnip [14:31] dsnyders: If you dont get an answer here you might try asking in #ubuntustudio. That is a media related flavour of ubuntu so people there might have more video editing experience. Also ubuntustudio might be a better distro for you. I say MIGHT - it might not be. [14:32] brian__: boot to root recovery mode after installing the driver (make sure DKMS completes) and run: nvidia-xconfig [14:32] pklollo, There is a website called pendrivelinux that might have some pointers for you. [14:32] thanks dsnyders [14:32] pklollo, grub-install [14:32] brian__: you will then have an xorg.conf and much more control [14:32] digit: i know but they dont work.. i manage to make them work by alt+f2 and running metacity --replace but that disables my desktop effects so i did gtk-window-decorator --replace and effects work but not the mouse themes. [14:32] thanks simon :) [14:32] Sweet I will try that [14:33] JonathanEllis, Thanks. I'll head there now. [14:33] eL_pSycHo, hangon checking [14:33] 22222 , how to purge computer janitor, compiz, bluetooth in every ubuntu system ? [14:33] thanks [14:33] simon: it's not working after restarting sshd. Is there another option that overrides PubkeyAuthentication ? [14:34] /join #ubuntu-classroom [14:34] can someone help me add fonts. when i try to add fonts to user/share/fonts, it says error [14:34] how do i upgrade to karmic behind apt-cacher-ng? [14:35] eL_pSycHo, sorry man I am not sure on that one [14:35] xmas, are you using sudo or gksudo to put them in? [14:35] quizme, are you sure that your SSH client properly finds and uses this key? [14:35] I can't type accents in gnome-terminal but I can do it in every other app. Any clues? [14:35] clear [14:35] halitech, i was trying to drag them in the window [14:35] Helo everybody, Im looking for some information about ubuntu, related with the users grow and the market penetration, any ideas? [14:35] xmas: you could copy them to the users .fonts directory that may be eaier [14:35] halitech, i also tried to create a .fonts folder using gksudo [14:35] Compiz has just stopped working... no idea why, it says "Software rasterizer detected, abortingaborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity". No idea what's caused this, it was working yesterday. Any ideas? [14:36] xmas: to put them in a system directory - you must do so with root permissions [14:36] dr_willis, how do i do that? [14:36] xmas, then you need to open nautilus with gksudo nautilus, other option is to create a .fonts folder in your home folder without using gksudo and put them in there [14:36] xmas, you should really tell us what the error is. [14:36] xmas: make a .fonts directory. copy them there [14:36] jmardonesk, what have you found by searching so far? [14:36] I am setting up a 120GB hard disk with a small swap partition at the beginning and the rest all as /home. What are the pros and cons of using primary or logical partitions? I guess with logicals, if I need to change to have more than four partitions later I can. Dont know why I would want to do that though. Is there any advantage to using primary or disadvantage to using logical? [14:36] xmas: log out/back in and they sould be used for that user [14:36] (Karmic, by the way, proposed repository enabled and all updates applied) [14:37] funkyHat: can you run: compiz --replace [14:37] JonathanEllis: it shouldent matter. I tend to use all primaries if i can. [14:37] ok, i am in usr folder [14:37] Hi. I need an speech-to-text application that simply types what I say. Does anyone know of an app like that? [14:37] jmardonesk, http://www.workswithu.com/2009/07/24/measuring-ubuntus-market-share/ discusses how one should even measure the market share. [14:37] simon: it's in the right directory.... i'm logging in as dbeckwith and i put my id_rsa.pub contents into /home/dbeckwith/.ssh/authorized_keys. also i set permissions to 700 for .ssh and 600 for authorized keys. [14:37] it wont let me create a directory [14:37] JonathanEllis: if you need more then 4 - then you must use extended/logicals [14:37] funkyHat, try compiz --replace & [14:37] Dr_Willis: Any reason why? Also does it make any difference if the swap is at the beginning or the end? [14:37] xmas, create the .fonts folder in your home directory [14:37] ActionParsnip: yes that's when it complains about the software rasteriser [14:37] xmas: make a .fonts directory in your USERS home directory [14:37] create folder option in the right click menu is not active [14:38] funkyHat: check video drivers [14:38] xmas: as in /home/luser/ [14:38] JonathanEllis: years ago it was suggeted to put swap at the start, or end, or somtning.. but i doubt if it really matters much. [14:38] good morning everyone, I want to upgrade from jaunty to karmic... do you recommend that I do a clean install or use the update manager? [14:38] JonathanEllis, Ideally swap should be in the middle so the seek time is smallest. [14:38] JonathanEllis: in this day and age.. the drives are faster and i rarely even use swap. [14:38] jonathaN, in theory the end of the disk is faster but with the speed today, don't think it really matters [14:38] ActionParsnip: syk: http://pastebin.com/d57fb9a19 [14:38] JonathanEllis: for 'best' swap on a seperate hard drive :) [14:38] ahh, i see. i was in usr instead of /home/user/.fonts [14:38] thanks [14:38] If the swap is at the start of the disk it performs faster [14:38] xmas: thats whyit has a . at the front :) [14:39] digit: this is weird... i found this key on the configuration editor /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/cursor_theme and set it to mandatory and now the cursor theme works but only when the pointer is over firefox and pidgin but not the desktop.. what gives? [14:39] I want to get the most out of 9.10 [14:39] ActionParsnip: what do you mean by that? [14:39] funkyHat: check video drivers are installed right === maciej_ is now known as mmmmm [14:39] ActionParsnip: I'm using the open source ati drivers [14:39] funkyHat: you may want to consult /var/log/Xorg.log.0 [14:39] how to get desktop-switcher on UNR karmic? :( [14:39] eL_pSycHo, I dont use compiz on my laptop [14:40] simon: i found 8 millions, Im writing a formal document and I need another formal document or study to quote it [14:40] funkyHat, whats the output of glxinfo [14:40] guys who did make drivers for 9.10 installation [14:40] i want to kick his ass [14:40] funkyHat: /var/log/Xorg.0.log sorry [14:40] Joric, drivers for what? [14:40] oh Karmic... how i love thee... [14:40] Hi everyone! Since upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 my main menu is broken.. "places" and "system" are half the height of all the other menu elements, which makes it nearly impossible to mouse over them. I've tried resetting all panels and changing themes, but this doesn't help. How can I fix this? [14:40] Joric, why [14:40] i cant' get my vga work [14:40] Joric, what video card? [14:40] it doesnt work with vga=771 either [14:40] can anyone suggest the best way to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10? [14:40] Dr_Willis: At the moment I only need two partitions (swap and home) but just wondering if later I might need more. Cant think why I would though. I will have two physical disks with swap on both. you mention swap should be on a separate drive - separate to home or separate to root? I read somewhere that linux can dynamically allocate the load between swap on diverse physical disks. So why is swap faster at the beginning or end? It cant go in the midd [14:40] zortec, fresh install [14:41] zortec, clean install [14:41] Joric: with the change to grub2 the vga= grub option i think is obsoleted [14:41] I want to know if I should do a fresh install or just run the update manager [14:41] zortec: sudo update-manager -d [14:41] syk: http://pastebin.com/d57fb9a19 [14:41] zortec: Just use the upgrader. I had (almost) no problems [14:41] JonathanEllis: you dont need a / partition? [14:41] it does work only with DVI2VGA adapter [14:41] Joric: why? they probably did the work for free and you did not pay a dim for their work. It amazes me the attitude of some free software users ... [14:41] JonathanEllis: you can out a little swap on both hard drives if you wanted. [14:41] Tamale: but if you do that, don't you miss out on ext-4 and grub2? [14:41] Dr_Willis: The root is on my first hard disk. The second hard disk will have the home [14:41] i don't know who passed those video drivers into distor [14:41] Tamale: also you don't get the performance increase I read somewhere [14:41] nvidia fx6200 wont allow 9.04 jaunty to load up, not even in recovery mode. tried all drivers, and also removed all standard drivers to, [14:41] --- it does work only with DVI2VGA adapter --- [14:41] zortec: Am I missing out on much? [14:42] Joric: i doubt if you will notice much differance where you put the swap. Id put a 512mb or so swap at the end of each drive. [14:42] hi all im still having bad issues with flash player i got this trying upgrade E:I wasn't able to locate file for the adobe-flashplugin package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. [14:42] I did install daap, not sure how to use it to play though :( [14:42] oops that was for JonathanEllis :) [14:42] how do i manually remove flash player ? [14:42] Tamale: You are missing out on grub to grub2 and ext3 to ext4... I beleive [14:42] damo: try sudo apt-get purge adobe* [14:43] i did [14:43] no look [14:43] Tamale: believe that is [14:43] can someone please help me fix character encoding in gnome-terminal? I can't type accents as it is and I can't remove different types of encodings via the menu [14:43] failing on /bin/mkdir /var/run/ abnormal exit 1 -(udevd-event) [14:43] heya === thomic_idle is now known as thomic [14:43] zortec: Well, I didn't have much of a choice.. my laptop is partitioned pretty specially and I couldn't reformat to ext4 [14:43] I need to play music on my windows desktop from my kubuntu laptop, any help with that? [14:43] zortec: But I'm not a big fan of grub 2 anyway :) [14:43] is there any way to manually remove it without useing a terminal [14:43] lizzzy: you need a player on each computer with daap support, e.g., amarok, banshee on the ubuntu computer, songbird or something else with daap support on the windows computer, itunes might even recognize daap shares. I've never tried it though... [14:43] Dr_Willis and anyone else interested: Is there any performance difference between logical and primary partitions? Are logicals slower? [14:44] damo: using the terminal is the proper way to remove it. [14:44] !torrents [14:44] Karmic can be torrented from http://hr.releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://it.releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). [14:44] JonathanEllis: shouldnt matter at all. [14:44] What are the main differences in grub 2 and grub? [14:44] :(, how do remove all compiz, computer janitor, bluetooth ? [14:44] zortec: in short.. EVERYTHING... [14:44] hi! i just noticed empathy isnt connecting. i have disabled network manager, and i cant find any option in gconf-editor for enabling this. [14:44] !grub2 | zortec [14:44] zortec: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [14:44] damo: have you used the "--force-*" option(s) for dpkg in the past? [14:44] master i dont understand u got a force command ? [14:44] zortec: Well, I didn't have much of a choice.. my laptop is partitioned pretty specially and I couldn't reformat to ext4 [14:44] Hi everyone! Since upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 my main menu is broken.. "places" and "system" are half the height of all the other menu elements, which makes it nearly impossible to mouse over them. I've tried resetting all panels and changing themes, but this doesn't help. How can I fix this? [14:45] i dont think i tryed tht master [14:45] Tamale: make a new user and see if it works for them [14:45] Hello everybody! I installed ubuntu 9.10 and chosed to get my home encrypted, but is my whole /home/myuser encrypted ? Or is it only /home/user/.Private that is encrypted? [14:45] Why do you guys recommend a fresh install if you can just do an upgrade from grub to grub2? [14:45] From the cli [14:45] damo: well, somehow you royally scr*wed up dpkg's database... [14:45] lmentop: I have itunes installed on my windows computer and amarok setup on my kubuntu and the daap server is working fine. But, I'm stuck now. Not sure how to go about it further. [14:45] zortec: you cant just do a Upgrade from grub to grub2. at least its not trivial :) [14:45] hi all, i upgraded to kubuntu 9.10 and it doesn't mount automatically cd & dvdrom. I must to do it in a shell. How to fix? in jaunty automount worked fine.... [14:45] zortec: because upgrade is causing tons of bugs to many people [14:45] all i did was install flash player 10 by mistake [14:46] from the website [14:46] zortec: i always reccomend clean installs if it canbe done. less hassles [14:46] Dr_Willis: according to that wiki page, you can upgrade grub to grub2 from jaunty [14:46] ActionParsnip: I can't see any erros there http://pastebin.com/f6df306ec but perhaps I don't know what I'm looking for [14:46] zortec: yes..and it can cause issues.. its not a 'click its done.. thing' [14:46] Hello everybody! I installed ubuntu 9.10 and chosed to get my home encrypted, but is my whole /home/myuser encrypted ? Or is it only /home/user/.Private that is encrypted? [14:46] is there a overview about the repos for ubuntu? [14:46] i installed flash player 10 from the website by mistake hmmm must be able to remove it [14:46] !repeat | empty_ [14:46] empty_: 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. [14:46] damo: what does "dpkg -L adobe-flashplayer" yield?

I'm having a remote connection problem. I have it set up on my Ubuntu box just fine and am trying to access from a Windows XP machine through TightVNC.. what happens is that I see my Gnome desktop but it doesn't seem to refresh. i.e. I click on stuff and nothing happens. Sometimes if refreshes to an empty wallpaper screen. Any ideas? [14:47] ill have to go and formatt grrrr [14:47] Hi there, i want to make multiple samba users who are able to log in as the same physical linux user, any idea on how to accomplish that [14:47] show me the output of said command (as root) please - use a pastebin website [14:47] can't type accents in gnome-terminal, of all apps! What to do? I tried changing the encoding to utf-89 to no avail [14:47] omkar, you can usually open appearance preferences and click the theme tab and drag the file in there [14:48] I'm curious... can you also upgrade ext3 to ext4 from jaunty? [14:48] oohhh [14:48] ill just go and format that will fix it haha [14:48] MasterOfDisaster: no need for sudo / root for that command [14:48] zortec: sure [14:48] I have karmic on desktop (work excelent!) and on my Dell 1555 with GPU intel 8500, and after grub I have black screen, I think this is problem with X server, because I hear sound on starting kde, anyone known how to fix it ? [14:48] thanks [14:48] LF help with Ubuntu 9.1 - Wine - Steam - Got error log [14:48] ActionParsnip: indeed, sorry === Fly is now known as Guest95188 [14:49] !ext4 [14:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 [14:49] kristian__: Please use #winehq for support for applications under Wine [14:49] MasterOfDisaster: np man [14:49] !ext_4 [14:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext_4 [14:49] !ext [14:49] omkar: i didn't like any theme in that list [14:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext [14:49] hello [14:49] !msgthebot | zortec [14:49] zortec: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [14:49] how to i explicitly see my dns entries on the system. and tell them to refresh from a nameserver explicitly? [14:49] zortec: you'd have to do that manually of course... [14:49] The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it [14:50] OK. Here's my partitioning scheme now with all logical partitions. Disk 1 (40GB), sda5=swap (1.2GB), sda6=root (10GB), 30GB free space for future releases etc. Disk 2 (122GB), sdb5=swap (1.2GB), sdb6=/home (121.7GB). I know that seems like a lot of swap space but I have an old machine with only a Celeron 2.4GHz and the maximum RAM which is 1GB. I use this machine for desk top publishing and image editing so I need to squeeze every last ounce of perfo [14:50] bosky101: you can set them in /etc/resolv.conf but network manager will overwrite it if its used next boot [14:50] MasterOfDisaster: I'm just trying to decide between fresh install and upgrade... haven't really touched my linux system in a couple months and can go either way [14:50] ActionParsnip, is it possible to which dns server i'm pinging for "ping " [14:50] ActionParsnip, or which nameserver [14:50] someone in here must know how to manually remove flash from my pc without useing a terminal command [14:51] damo: do you have the .deb file you used for installing? [14:51] hi there - i have some problems with the new 9.10 ubuntu... no hardware drivers shows up in the dialog under settings... any clue? [14:51] !synaptic | damo [14:51] damo: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [14:51] can anyone suggest good gnome theme n mouse cursor for ubuntu [14:51] damo: i installed ubuntu approximately 50 times on my netbook in the last 5months and i never got a flash bug. [14:51] i dont think i still have the package no [14:51] zortec: I have had problems with upgrade in the the past so I recommend backing up your existing partitions to an external disk and then fresh install. I also read that ext4 is faster if its a fresh partition not one that has been upgraded from ext3 [14:51] damo: you can try reinstalling and then purging the package [14:51] How do I kill the Package Installer ? [14:51] kk [14:52] Killall what ? [14:52] yos: ctrl+c [14:52] so anybody have the same problems as me regarding the hardware drivers? more specificly its concerning nvidia drivers and broadcom sla :) [14:52] I'm having a remote connection problem. I have it set up on my Ubuntu Karmic box just fine and am trying to access from a Windows XP machine through TightVNC.. what happens is that I see my Gnome desktop but it doesn't seem to refresh. i.e. I click on stuff and nothing happens. Sometimes if refreshes to an empty wallpaper screen. I couldn't work it out by reading the forums. Any ideas? [14:52] yos: ps aux | grep -i package [14:52] ActionParsnip, resolv.conf gives my routers ip. is there some way i can explicitly ask it to refresh / repopulate the dns entries [14:52] someone fell loss of peformance with nvidia drivers? [14:52] JonathanEllis: Do I just install 9.10 right over 9.04... or do you have to delete grub? I have never done this before [14:52] yos: killall update-manager or synaptic [14:52] yos why don't u kill it with its pid [14:52] kill -9 pid === _Ranakah is now known as Ranakah [14:53] bosky101: thats because your router is providing a proxy DNS [14:53] I don't know what you are talking about... [14:53] zortec: I will try to guide you as best as I can. First do you have an external hard drive handy? If so I would start by using gparted to copy all your partitions to the external hard disk. If you label them first with e2label you will know what they are. [14:53] I am a student... [14:53] bosky101: you can restart networking but you will just get the same DNS due to the DHCP [14:53] howdy doody another quick question. does anyone know if linux has an equivilant program that dos the same thing winrar does? [14:53] hey, I need help. My Ubuntu Karmic doesnt recognize my samsung 943snx, is there a way to tell ubuntu it's a generic widescreen monitor? [14:53] bosky101: enter your real dns servers's ip in your /etc/resolv.conf [14:54] imitator: so? [14:54] master i got this dpkg: error processing adobe-flashplugin (--purge): [14:54] JonathanEllis: I don't have an external hard drive, so I was going to use the same one I have now which has one partition for 9.04 and the other for XP [14:54] zortec: What are you upgrading to? 9.10? [14:54] ActionParsnip, will resolv.conf take multilines eg nameserver \t ip1 \n nameserver \t ip2 [14:54] Dubyah: sure if you want to unpack .rar files use unrar [14:55] ActionParsnip: that did it, somewhat annoyingly -.- [14:55] ActionParsnip: thanks [14:55] bosky101: and also try sudo firefox and see if any website open then [14:55] bosky101: sure, you can add as many as you like, if you run dnsmasq you will need to add localhost as a nameserver too [14:55] ty kindly Faze i'm lookin it up now. === Ranakah is now known as Ranakah` [14:55] The package 'adobe-flashplugin' is in an inconsistent state and needs to be reinstalled, but no archive can be found for it. Please reinstall the package manually or remove it from the system. [14:55] hi [14:55] zortec: OK. Do you have a separate /home partition? Or does your root simply fill the rest of the disk? [14:55] Ok, I tried all of your advises and none of them kill the process...How do I find which process is not responding ? (damn, this is soooo easy in Windows) [14:55] are there any channels specific to help with remote connection issues? [14:56] bbs got some work to do [14:56] how can I install libgssapi_krb5.so.2? [14:56] yos: just reboot [14:56] om26er, in firefox also it says cant find page [14:56] I don't want to reboot [14:56] bosky101: dnsmasq will give you a local dns and reduce the need the system to ask the web for name resolution [14:56] bosky101: with sudo? [14:56] JonathanEllis: Let me boot into linux and check this, I am currently in windows [14:56] yos: xkill [14:56] xkill what ? [14:57] then click on the window to kill the process... [14:57] om26er, yes [14:57] yos: There are other things which are not easy at all in windows. Damn windows printing system died and was completely unfixable. Had to reinstall to get it to work. So not everything is easier in windows. Actually thats when I gave up on windows and installed ubuntu. It just takes a bit of getting used to. [14:58] While I was tinkering with the new accessibility features at the Ubuntu login screen, it seems that having enabled and disabled contrast messed up the GDM theme. Changing Ubuntu's main theme around did not fix the issue, and neither did rebooting. Is there any way to reset GDM to defaults? [14:58] which is the FGLRX driver that comes with ubuntu 9.10 (which exact catalyst version) [14:58] yos: one persons easy is anothers hard [14:58] True guys :D [14:58] MasterOfDisaster, Thank you so much, that worked :D [14:58] xkill, cool :D [14:59] yos: you're welcome [14:59] should I stay with CATALYST that comes with Ubuntu 9.10, or should I install the latest 9.10 from AMD ATI site [14:59] djzn, what video card? [14:59] djzn: i'd prefer the distro's version [15:00] RADEON HD 3200 [15:00] I have a geforce 9800gt w/ 1gb gddr3 [15:00] djzn, if it works okay with the ubuntu driver then se it, if not, get the ati driver [15:00] ActionParsnip, when i replaced nameserver with a newone ,it just took longer to show page not found in firefox. ping timedout as well [15:01] ha, whoops === shai is now known as Guest22208 [15:01] hi, each time im trying to install a package i recieving that error: dpkg: échec dans « buffer_read(fd) » : copie le fichier d'info « /var/lib/dpkg/available »: Erreur d'entrée/sortie [15:01] why when typing "apt-get install libgssapi" and then pressing "tab" packages names are shown, and after typing one of that name that was shown, the "libgssapi2 has no isntallation candidate"? [15:01] bosky101: keep the original, just add the name servers you wanna use. Make sure you add them by IP [15:01] ActionParsnip, if dig @nameserver works, but dig says ServFail , what does that mean [15:02] Have anyone problem with boot 9.10 ? [15:02] cyberbob, some what [15:02] cyberbob, what are you experiencing? [15:02] marekw2143: in process_once (i, o, e) = select.select(sockets, [], [], timeout) [15:02] Does Jaunty have the capability to encrypt the home directory or is that just Karmic? I have a nasty feeling I am installing from the wrong CD. Oops! [15:02] bosky101: sharing your /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts and your exact dig command would help... [15:02] bosky101: this indicates the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf is not working as expected [15:03] all: read carefully user guide, manual install, upgrade, /me see all probleam is ok [15:03] :D [15:03] JonathanEllis, there should be an option on the jaunty live cd for encrypting home [15:03] i believe [15:03] HazeFaze, MasterOfDisaster ActionParsnip adding the nameserver explicitly to resolv.conf worked . [15:03] Hi everyone! Since upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 my main menu is broken.. "places" and "system" are half the height of all the other menu elements, which makes it nearly impossible to mouse over them. I've tried resetting all panels and changing themes, but this doesn't help. How can I fix this? [15:03] Pici: hmm? [15:03] !grub2 [15:03] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [15:03] but im trying to understand whats the root of the problem [15:03] bosky101: if you use network manager, it will change it back [15:03] coz_: Thank heavens for that! I thought I had a wrongly labelled CD and was reinstalling Karmic again. Dont want to do that! [15:03] I'm a very slow typer because of a physical handicap. I'd like to have an alternate input method like speech-to-text or anything else that'd help me to type faster in chat conversations. Does anyone have any suggestions on this? [15:04] marekw2143: Sorry, wrong paste. From what I can tell, libgssapi is only a source package, the binaries that it creates are named differently. [15:04] is there a way to get grub back without having a bootable cd handy? [15:04] marekw2143: libgssapi creates libgssapi-dev, libgssapi1, and libgssapi2 [15:05] Pici: how did you found that? [15:05] hey i'm looking to broadcast on either ustream or justin.tv but i'm lost as to how i'm pretty new to linux altogether so any help would be handy. [15:05] MK13: I don't think so.

[15:06] Tamale: I'd have no problem paying for it. As long as it works under Linux... [15:06] MasterOfDisaster, :( is there any way to add ubuntu to window's bootloader... or do you have to add grub to the windows bootloader?

[15:07] MK13: you would install grub in the mbr and add window's bootloader to grub's menu [15:07] i'll assume it's a propogation problem. i just changed my nameserver, so im wondering which other geographies have propogation delays. any usual tools u use for the same? [15:07] SmokeyD: ive done it too and it has worked for me [15:07] Guest22208: don't post localized messages - use LANG=C LC_ALL=C [15:07] MasterOfDisaster, yea i am thinking of a way to try to get into the ubuntu partition without a bootable cd though [15:07] bosky101: if you install and configure dnsmasq your resolutions will be instantaneous [15:07] Tamale: Ok. I'll look into it. Thanks! [15:07] bosky101: rather than querying the web which takes tiiiime [15:08] network manager in karmic wont recognize my 3g zte mf626 device. can someone help me?

[15:11] tyler_d2: Nway, i upgraded from Ubuntu 9.05 to ubuntu 9.10 [15:11] I think something is wrong with my locale thing, which might account for the fact that I can't type accents in gnome-terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/309582/ [15:11] try clonezilla , i useit for both Win /nix and OSx back ups [15:11] johnBond: I would, shut down again, ensuring that you havent dislodged a hard-drive or other device - then boot back up [15:11] Tamale: If its any consolation my entire graphics was broken with all sort of problems when I installed Karmic. I tried removing compiz as I have an old machine and I had heard that fixed the problem for others: sudo apt-get remove compiz-core.

I understand Dells BIOS is buggy. Oddly enough I have managed to get my old Dell Latitude C610 laptop working fairly well with Karmic but I gave up on my Dimension 2400 desktop machine. Strange becuase the latitude has a slower processor so I would have expected more problems with that machine. [15:14] I have suspend/resume oops problems on thinkpad x200 in karmic.

That's normal? [15:21] MasterOfDisaster: :D [15:21] Tamale: OK. I dont know anything about HPs. Is it an old machine? If so it could be that your processor doesnt have enough power to run visual effects. Thats why I removed compiz as I read that other users with my machine had done that and it solved the problem. [15:21] That's the standard, MasterofPuppets [15:21] ramnish, 9.04 and 9.10 at least [15:21] Graviton: Alright. Also, can I partition the USB key?

[15:22] sengoku, you need to link to it from /etc/rc2.d [15:22] I don't think you can buy USB keys that aren't formatted in FAT [15:22] MasterofPuppets: I should think so [15:22] ubuntu, use usb-creator instead [15:22] I think I did that myself once [15:22] Graviton: Alright, 'cuz it's only taking up 1 GB of the 16GB drive and I'd like to use the rest... :P [15:23] Understandable [15:23] :) [15:23] network manager in karmic wont recognize my 3g zte mf626 device. can someone help me? [15:23] tormod: I wish I had spoken to you yesterday. Now I have deleted all partitions and my Jaunty install is under way so now I cant gather the evidence. [15:23] JonathanEllis, whoops [15:23] ill try that thanks [15:23] Hi all i have a edubuntu that i upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10. The upgrade seems to have been okay. But now when i boot i can get to grub normaly and then the edubuntu start and finaly when i should have a login screen i have a black screen with white and green line..... Any idea ?! :p [15:24] sengoku, btw, you can not export a env var in an init script, use /etc/environment [15:24] tormod: I got fed up with it because I think I had wasted about 20 hours trying to get Karmic working. [15:24] thebloggu: try zeroing in on the problem - does the kernel detect it? can you use it manually? etc. === jo-erlend is now known as XiXaQ [15:25] hey all! how do you find out what packages were installed "yesterday" (or within a time frame)? [15:25] what if i wanted to run a startup script in my home dir, the export was just a test to see if the startup waseven running [15:25] v0lksman: you can look at /var/log/dpkg.log [15:25] v0lksman: see /var/log/dpkg.log [15:25] thx [15:25] MasterOfDisaster, can you guide through it? what commands should i run? dmesg? lsusb? [15:26] hey... how do i enable page up and page down to search commands in terminal like in suse? [15:26] SwedeMike, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnderstandingSuspend [15:27] JonathanEllis: Oh, compiz is working great [15:27] ltcabral: by modifying ~/.inputrc (or /etc/inputrc) [15:27] ltcabral, another thing you can do is type Ctrl+R (^R) and type whatever you want to search for in your history. [15:27] tormod: Maybe in a few weeks once the dust has settled and I have caught up on my lost work I might try installing Karmic again on another partition to see if the troubleshooting info helps. At least I might be able to provide info to someone to fix it. Right now, my priority is getting a working system so I can do some fee-earning work. [15:27] thebloggu: /msg me [15:27] LANG=C LC_ALL=C E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) [15:27] > [15:27] hello [15:27] i get a lot of "usb 1-4: device descriptor read/8 error -110" some seconds after i plug my hp laserjet in; what kind of error is this? [15:27] tormod: I'll look into that. Annoying that 9.04 didn't have this problem though, so for me it's a clear regression. [15:28] eilotshai: the command, not the error message... [15:28] SwedeMike, tag the bug as "regression-release" [15:28] WHAT+IS+NEW+WINDOW [15:28] I ran 'update-rc scriptname defaults' which looks like it did the linking [15:28] tormod: Perhaps by that time enough other users with Dells might have reported the problem so that someone fixes it. I know that sounds lazy of me but I have lost so many hours over this! === akgraner_ is now known as akgraner === bruce_springstee is now known as BruceSpringsteen [15:29] tormod: My perception (which may well be wrong) is that Karmic is not mature enough for production environments yet. I guess thats the problem with downloading and installing on release day - not enough time to iron out the bugs. [15:30] JonathanEllis, yeah waiting a few weeks might avoid some headaches [15:31] tormod: hm, how do I add such a tag? [15:31] tormod: Mind you my Jaunty install has just this minute completed and the graphics are borked there too. I will try removing compiz and if that doesnt work I will go back to Hardy. I know that works! [15:32] hi there! i'm trying to install xmms on ubuntu 8.04 and i get this message when i type sudo apt-get install xmms : Package xmms is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source [15:32] JonathanEllis, just log in with "failsafe gnome" - disabled compiz [15:32] i have also tried sudo aptitude install xmms [15:32] i need some help after 2 hours of seaching still cant remove flash player at all [15:32] WB........ alEXXX [15:32] !xmms | freaklyweirdo [15:32] freaklyweirdo: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [15:33] !xmms | freaklyweirdo [15:33] tormod: Ooh! I was going to sudo apt-get remove compiz*. How do I do what you said? [15:33] SwedeMike, the yellow button besides "Tags:" [15:33] hmmm, i see.. [15:33] damo, you try through synaptic? [15:33] which player would you guys recommend me? [15:33] JonathanEllis, in the login window - sessions [15:33] hmmmm no who do i try that way [15:33] freaklyweirdo, audacious is the closest thing [15:34] when i open synaptic i get this error E: The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. [15:34] E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report. [15:34] damo, in synaptic do a search for flash [15:34] thanks, bro. [15:34] it wont let me open anything [15:34] tormod: hm, in the text "Tags: resume suspend" for instance? [15:34] i got a bad flash player error [15:34] tormod: I dont have a sessions button - just a username button. [15:34] sorry, found it now [15:34] i download flash player 10 from the website and now its messed up my system some how [15:35] JonathanEllis, on the bottom panel [15:35] damo, sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin [15:35] hey everyone, I have a amd64bit desktop pc running 10.4, and my screen keeps dimming every 5 minutes, even though I have it set at 'never' at the AC power settings [15:35] tryed tht and it doesnt work [15:35] Sutibu: you dont run 10.4 [15:35] tormod: There is no bottom panel. This is jaunty I am talking about [15:35] i need to manually remove it without useing a terminal is that possable ? [15:35] Sutibu, check your screensaver settings [15:35] iceroot: 10.4 is the latest stable right? [15:36] Sutibu: 9.10 [15:36] damo: its possible the installer you downloaded has some 'remove' option [15:36] ah, my bad [15:36] Sutibu: YEAR.MONTH [15:36] how do i look willis please ? [15:36] Hi, how do I swap control and super (win) keys? [15:36] damo: did you run the installer as root with 'sudo' or how exactly? [15:36] iceroot / thiebaude: found the option, thanks [15:37] i just ran the package i downloaded from the flash website now i cant remove or upgrade from terminal [15:37] damo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin/+bug/412944 [15:37] who use a 1000he netbook with netbook remix 9.10 here ?

[15:37] kryl: post the problem to the channel [15:37] it's done :) [15:37] kryl: with details what is not working [15:37] haha willis i think i double clicked [15:37] and it installed [15:37] JonathanEllis, did you look in the Options menu? [15:38] !who | damo [15:38] damo: 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 :) [15:38] damo: and whats the exact file name you installed? [15:38] !torrents [15:38] Karmic can be torrented from http://hr.releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://it.releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). [15:38] tormod: There isnt one. Can I do this from one of the terminals? [15:38] install_flash_player_10_linux.deb [15:38] kryl move your xorg.conf to xorg.conf.old for example, xorg you build a new file on the fly, it should work [15:38] JonathanEllis, http://andrewbevitt.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/login.png ? [15:38] I upgrade from jaunty to karmic on netbook remix version for 1000HE netbook and I lost availability to use my touchpad ... the pointer stay locked [15:39] xorg will build [15:39] sorry for typo [15:39] Devastator, I'll test this way tonight [15:39] damo: try "rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobe-flashplugin.prerm" (as root) [15:39] tormod: Ah! The bottom third of the screen is not visible. [15:39] kryl: can you use a real mouse? so the touchpad is only disabled and not the pointer is crashed? [15:39] damo: so it is a deb package.. thus it installed using the apt-get system. so that means its not got a stand alone Uninstaller.. You need to figure out how to either remove, or reinstall it with the proper' dpkg ' command [15:39] is there an amd64 distribution for netbook ? [15:39] how plz master ? root :S ? [15:39] How hard youd it be to make Ubuntu look like this with AwesomeWM? http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs40/f/2009/028/a/6/ArchLinux_and_Awesome2_at_Work_by_nustyle.png [15:39] kryl: seen a netbook with amd64 support?

[15:40] iceroot, atom n280 [15:40] Devastator: that's not true, the 230 and 330 are. [15:40] thanks Dr_Willis ill try installing all desktops i can to see which one suits me, for the time being xfce rules;) [15:40] damo: click and tell it to remove :) be sure to not remove anything else you may need [15:40] Devastator, excellent news :) [15:40] master explain bit easyer plz im new here [15:40] Jeez, I'll go find a less crowded Ubuntu channel.. o.O [15:40] kryl: yes, there is no amd64 netbook (hardware) [15:40] iceroot, good thank you [15:40] skysong_: dont forget 'lubuntu-desktop' also :P [15:40] SwedeMike didn't know that, but n280 isn't [15:40] kryl: so you dont need amd64 netbook remix [15:40] damo: just run this: "sudo su -c 'rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobe-flashplugin.prerm'" [15:41] :) [15:41] true [15:41] lol [15:41] all Debian packagers: new room at #getdeb - be welcome! :) === wertik_rus is now known as wertik_rus|swimm [15:41] kryl as SwedeMike said, there's some atom's that is 64bits, but n280 isn't [15:41] JonathanEllis, touch $HOME/.config/compiz/disable-compiz [15:41] there's no kubuntu in the repo:/ [15:41] the problem with this device is the GPU :) [15:41] skysong_: you did a typo then [15:41] !info kubuntu-desktop [15:41] kubuntu-desktop (source: kubuntu-meta): Kubuntu desktop system.

[15:42] kryl : how long is your battery life with unr? [15:42] hylian: downthemall [15:42] kryl do you like your 1000he? i almost bought one, but now i'm buying 1005HA-P [15:42] BruceSpringsteen, around 5 hours in full charge ! [15:42] hmm, thanx, i didn't even know that was a choice, i was thinking kget or somethign, cool, thanx [15:43] tormod: Do you mean /home/.config/compiz/disable-compiz ??? [15:43] hylian: theres programs.. then theres firefox extensions. :) [15:43] kryl : mine is 8 hours with unr karmic :) [15:43] Devastator, I want to sell it and wait for ion gpu... [15:43] hm, i cant add startup scripts [15:43] BruceSpringsteen, ok but with full charge ? wifi download & video running at the same tilme ? [15:43] i cannot wait.. i need a netbook :( [15:43] sengoku: something like autostart? [15:43] tormod: No such file or directory [15:44] ohh, ok. well i was looking for something that could work with firefox, but also independently of firefox... [15:44] JonathanEllis, try: echo $HOME and you will understand [15:44] master its saying no such file or diectory [15:44] tormod: What is placing that file there supposed to do exactly? [15:44] hylian: Look at abrowser? [15:44] soreau, it will inhibit compiz from starting [15:44] tormod: Is this a ubuntu-only feature? [15:44] next step, I try to desactivate the nice genuine panel in setup and I lost availability to use the desktop icons is it normal with netbook remix ? (I guess yes but is there a fix for that ) ? === DevNull is now known as Guest11172 [15:44] kryl : wifi on, youtube, facebook upload, xchat. [15:44] vigo, what is abrowser, although i was just looking for a download manager, not a whole other browser. [15:44] no I found it in some SUSE docs [15:45] tormod: Because I dont see anything like that in the compiz source [15:45] hello, I'm unable to get alsa/sound working on a ubuntu minimal install of karmic, while sound works out of the box on an install of the default Karmic desktop install cd. When trying to run alsamixer I get the following: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory [15:45] BruceSpringsteen, did u try to desactivage the netbook remix panel ? [15:45] hmmmm thats not working at all master [15:45] tormod: OK. I understand. However, still no such file or directory [15:45] is there picasa for ubuntu? google page has a d/l but it's not in the add/remove and not sure when the google page was last updated. Thanks. [15:45] tormod: The more reliable way would be to chmod -x /usr/bin/compiz.real [15:45] iceroot, autostart? [15:45] Hey, howe can i add a user to the sudo grp? [15:45] soreau, it is checked in /usr/bin/compiz [15:45] soreau, which is not in the compiz source :) [15:45] sengoku: need startup scripts for gdm? or shell? [15:45] kryl : u mean deactivate? [15:46] since updating to 9.10 I cannot see the shared drives on my ubuntu server. windows xp in virtualbox can see them and browse them. any ideas?

[15:46] but the user stuill stays in his normal grp yes? [15:46] BruceSpringsteen, yes [15:46] AmokPaule: Go to Users and Groups from the System menu, There you can either edit the user or the group [15:46] iceroot, shell [15:46] JonathanEllis, mdir $HOME/.config/compiz/ first [15:46] hi, I have a problem with slapd package. Installing it, the system won't prompt me for the administration password [15:46] JonathanEllis, mkdir [15:46] tyler_d2: that will remove the user from all other groups though, won't it? :/ [15:47] sengoku: when a user logs in or at normal system start?

[15:47] !groups [15:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about groups [15:47] vigo, im not looking for a browser though, i am quite happy with firefox. i am looking for a download manager that will work with firefox, and indepedently of it [15:47] Chousuke: that is why its capital G [15:47] Doctor`Saw`: sudo dpkg-reconfigure slapd [15:47] tormod: I dont happen to see it there either [15:47] kryl : well, no [15:47] Ok thanks [15:47] iceroot, i tried [15:47] Hi I've got an odd problem on 9.10 with apache2 userdir. despite chowning my public_html to www-data, I still get a 403 Forbidden. [15:47] tyler_d2: ah, right. -g would be the destructive operation. [15:47] hylian: use downthemall.. thats what helped me move from windows (IDM) to linux [15:47] but it does not prompt me for password [15:47] BruceSpringsteen, :) ok, do u like this original desktop ? [15:47] soreau, sorry me neither :) [15:47] iceroot, normal system start [15:47] try running what master [15:47] hylian: Oh, ok, like a jigido? [15:47] skysong, can downthemall still download stuff after firefox is closed? [15:48] type the command please proply [15:48] ill copy and paste it [15:48] hylian: yes it can. [15:48] iceroot, i tried dpkg-reconfigure on ubuntu 9.10 [15:48] tormod: In short, I dont think this will work. Instead, sudo chmod -z $(which compiz.real) [15:48] kryl : please use #ubuntu-offtopic [15:48] vigo, thanx ill look into that, and downthemall, too good choices, thanx all [15:48] skysong, thanx for the info!

Just making sure you weren't just trying to view an empty directory. The default is to disallow directory listings. [15:50] damo: I think you should read the forums about copying and pasting commands into terminal, it is not really advised to do.

Also, I dont see any reference to it in the sources or compiz-manager (compiz on ubuntu) [15:51] tormod: But the graphics on the login screen are borked [15:51] voraistos: permissions issue, it would seem... [15:51] hey guys im trying to get my dinovo mini to work using the bluetooth usb stick anyone have a good guide on how to get htat usb stick working? [15:51] Hi all, my xserver does not start anymore... how do i reconfigure my xserver to get the graphical interface back ?! [15:51] damo: perhaps you need to reinsall it. (double click again on that .deb) then remove it? [15:52] tryed wont let me [15:52] JonathanEllis, then its not compiz [15:52] rob_p indeed. except www-data owns it and rwx [15:52] Nokio: what gives "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" [15:52] voraistos: And your user directory is within /home? [15:52] rob_p yes [15:52] damo: and flash player should only be affecting the browser on some sites. it shouldent be affecting you 'opening programs' [15:53] tormod: The simplest way to disable is use gnome-appearance-properties and set Visual Effects to None [15:53] I installed Ubuntu on an USB stick (persistent) installation. Works quite fine although updating and upgrading is very very slow. All other programs do work very smoothly except of firefox. Opera on the other hand is working quite well, at least 5 times faster then Firefox. And this now is my problem: Why is firefox so slow on my persistent USB stick? Any ideas? [15:53] rob_p www-data can cd into /home and list (my username appears as it should) [15:53] howto get IP address of host? [15:53] iceroot : The screen flicker and then gdm die [15:53] adac: im suprised update/upgradeing worked at all. :) [15:53] Nokio: errors on shell?

I did the gdm start thing and it flickered and now it seem frozen hehe [15:54] bugo_, ping the site and it should return the ip adress [15:54] OK [15:54] adac: you are putting a large amount of files/changes in the persistant save file. last i messed with persistatn save. it couldent even let me install the nvidia drivers properly [15:54] bugo_: ping or nslookup [15:54] tnx [15:54] soreau, that's what I told him [15:54] bugo_: or 'host' [15:54] bugo_ however they probably have balacing stuff [15:55] sengoku: hm, 9.10? [15:55] adac: you dident upgrade a persistant 9.04 setup to 9.10 did you? [15:55] voraistos: The user directory should be owned by the user, not www-data. The document root (such as public_html or whatever you called it in the apache2 configs) should also be owned by the user but could be in group www-data. I've had to do that. [15:55] yes? iceroot [15:55] Dr_Willis, It is not a file.

[16:28] Voting, no sorry guy [16:28] will solve it? [16:28] ward- | Ok [16:28] soreau: Xorg.0.log is at http://pastebin.com/f2cd6cdd2. It seems to be using the mga driver supplied by xorg. I dont know what hardy used but I presume the same. I dont know how to set it to something else. [16:28] Voting, looking now [16:28] coz_: my cow-orker(sic!) is quite insistant that she can use Ubuntu as long as she can use MS Word 2003 for her docs [16:28] MrSeraph, if its open click on a random package and type "virtualbox" (fast way to scroll to virtualbox) [16:29] MrSeraph, then rightclick it and check the installed files tab [16:29] Does anyone know of a cli diff program that can take input from stdin, instead of relying on files? [16:29] ryan8403_work, oh I see ...did you install wine or crossover office to run MS Word? [16:29] coz_: Word 2k3 works AOK under wine, now I only want to create a default Open With action, so that all docs wil open in Word [16:29] MrSeraph, sorry rightclick - properties [16:29] then install tab [16:29] ryan8403_work, oh I see [16:29] installed files i mean lol [16:29] coz_: when I type the command - wine "/path/to/winword.exe" filename.doc - it works AOK [16:29] coz_: I'm very grateful for your help. [16:29] hey guys here comes a hard question [16:29] ryan8403_work, mm ok I am not up on using wine or crossover office ...you may find more info on #wine channel [16:29] Uh huh [16:30] JonathanEllis: To try the vesa driver, simply set Driver "vesa" in the Device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:30] MrSeraph, there you see the list of the files that are installed for that package, the binary is normally in /usr/bin [16:30] coz_: but when I use this command in the command text field in Open With action configuration tab in File Properties, it only opens Word with a New Document [16:30] Yeah, I see it, ward- [16:30] Voting, sorry guy I really have not much info on wine and applications for it [16:30] coz_: asif it never got the filename [16:30] ryan8403_work, mm [16:30] Voting, sorry I am getting nicks mixed up here [16:31] !wine | voting [16:31] voting: 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 [16:31] Voting, you didnt want nay with wine ...apologies [16:31] hi [16:31] does it matter when buying 2 or 1 ccfl replacement lcds for a laptop as for what to put in the laptop? or is it a matter of what is brighter or not? i have a sony vaio vgn-fw series. [16:31] coz_: that's "rysiek|pl", not "ryan(...)" ;) [16:31] good evening [16:31] rysiek|pl, you may want to go to the #wine channel then [16:31] update to karmic broke my serial remote [16:31] lirc in other words [16:31] MrSeraph, there are more files installed in /usr/bin for virtualbox, in case you didnt notice, so sometimes you need to scroll a bit untill you find the one you're looking for [16:31] I like Wine - but I have a hard time with it because I'm slow. I like to use VirtualBox instead. [16:31] So, for some reason my "sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin" is failing but I don't know why. coz_ What does this have to do with wine? I don't see anything about wine. [16:31] ward- | What're you using? [16:31] msg Identify katouka [16:31] coz_: nope. wine works AOK, it's a GNOME thing - how exactly is the filename given to the command in such circumstances [16:31] soreau: Interesting. xorg.conf is an empty file [16:32] MrSeraph, there's also a way of doing this from GUI and using grep to list just the ones that start with /usr/bin [16:32] So then nobody knows of such a program? [16:32] who knows a mp3 player for ubuntu 9.04? [16:32] coz_: anywhoo, I'll ask in #gnome [16:32] Voting, right that wine thing was my mistake for the wrong person [16:32] Arno: Please change your password. [16:32] so i added /bin/false to /etc/shells, then made another user in linux environemnt with -s /bin/false, for FTP. Works fine, but I want him to be able to cahnge his own password so I looked that up, turns out I did a few things with passwd -e (and -f which it didnt reconize), but he can tlog into the shell, so i tried changing the user back to /bin/bash that worked but he still couldnt log in, so i [16:32] which is the latest version of ubuntu? [16:32] MrSeraph, but i dunno that off the top of my head [16:32] stable [16:32] ryanakca, or in #wine [16:32] removed the user then readded him and still he cant log in, whats wrong? [16:32] dygey | What do you mean? Like an iPod? [16:32] MrSeraph, maybe someone else though [16:32] guys apparenlty in need to break ... I am making too many mistaks [16:32] usuario,like winamp:D [16:32] ward- | Ok, thanks. [16:32] MrSeraph, atm im using ubuntu [16:32] or something [16:32] how do I change the login screen? [16:32] dygey | Amarok bud. [16:32] There are several good diagnostic apps for Windows, but are there any for Ubuntu? We've got an Ubuntu laptop that keeps crashing hard, and we're suspecting a hardware problem. [16:33] How do I "manually fix" a package? http://pastebin.com/d7fd5c804 [16:33] MrSeraph, no problem [16:33] I know that ubuntu users aren't always the most terminal-oriented, but I was hoping that with such a large number in here, someone might have known... [16:33] JonathanEllis: You dont need it with newer X servers but it will still respect the settings placed there. One thing you could do is try to get the xorg.conf from hardy (from a live cd possibly) and use that to see if it helps [16:33] MrSeraph, roflol sorry i only now notice im talking in #ubuntu :D [16:33] so, attempting to use Eclipse which I installed via Add/Remove Applications GUI. [16:33] MrSeraph, thats why i asked what distro lol [16:33] Ugh...my nfs is messed up. I cant restart the nfs-kernel-server (on the server side) without getting it hanging at "starting up". It eventually times out its efforts. [16:33] Upon attempting to install any plugins, I receive the error: The artifact file for osgi.bundle,org.eclipse.ant.ui,3.4.1.v20090901_r351 was not found.

[16:34] sup [16:35] and on the client, mounting the server's share gives me the message that the fstab or mtab file doesnt list it. It does but I guess they cant see it. [16:35] well??

I am booting from a hardy disk now and will copy the xorg.conf. I can see a real possibility I may need to go back to hardy but I formatted my /home partition as ext4 in jaunty. Will it break jaunty if I reformat that partition as ext3 so that hardy can work with it?

[16:51] <[ZAF]-Coral> but a lot of stuff is screwed [16:51] Dr_Willis thanks :) [16:51] hi everyone [16:51] scott_ino2: how was the performance? [16:51] JonathanEllis: johnston audio services, in australia btw [16:51] [ZAF]-Coral: I am being serious. You've completely hosed your permissions. [16:51] hi everyone [16:51] it seems that knetworkmanager isn't able to connect to secure networks [16:51] <[ZAF]-Coral> Pici, is that really the only way :/ [16:51] nick: Ah. I am in UK [16:52] Does anyone have any suggestions regarding my issue please? [16:52] froglet2: Tamale many people have got issues after upgrading 9.04 to 9.10, really 9.10 is a good one to clean install anyway, for the default Ext4 and Grub 2, or you can set up Ext4 yourself and a seperate home in a manual install, seperate home's can be useful for future rei nstalls and even distro hopping [16:52] how can I upgrade and leave my old /home intact if I am using encrypted /home? [16:52] My HP DV2000 pavalion works great with 9.10 [16:52] i'm trying to use VNC on ubuntu 9.10 and as soon as i'm logged in the screen stops updating [16:52] <[ZAF]-Coral> Pici, I have changed some to higher permissions [16:52] scott_ino2: how does it run when multiple stuff are open, say, a browser, an IDE and so on [16:52] Makavel, performance is good. compiz runs decently however maximizing/minimizing windows kinda hangs for half a second before reopening [16:52] I do not want ext4 [16:52] /dev/sda1 /media/Vista ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_GB.UTF-8 0 0 [16:52] Dr_Willis sorry for a stupid question, but where is the medibutu respotories? [16:52] sebsebseb: This happens on a fresh install too [16:52] I want to stick with ext3 [16:52] i can tell i'm doing osomething, as if i click on my irc window and type i can send messages [16:52] sebsebseb: I really think there's a bug in the main menu [16:52] #1mdeibuntu [16:52] !medibuntu | nerdy_kid [16:52] nerdy_kid: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [16:52] but i get no screen udpates in the vnc window [16:52] [ZAF]-Coral: It would be faster to reinstall then to figure out what the proper permissions for each file are. [16:52] /dev/sda1 /media/Vista ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_GB.UTF-8 0 0 [16:52] Makavel, I use it occational for heavy graphics, desktop publishing and it runs fine. much snappier from jaunty-> karmic [16:53] Dr_Willis thanks again lol [16:53] <[ZAF]-Coral> Pici, :/ :( [16:53] JonathanEllis: this is a live sound company. they are doing almost every big event in australia. their boss is touring with oasis right now. he's been working with them for 5-6 years by now [16:53] <{[Aaron]}> Hi i've been having this problem for around a day now, I've read up on plenty of documentation but can't seem to find a fix. The problem occurs after restoring grub... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8234582#post8234582 [16:53] hey can ny one tell me that if i upgrade ubuntu from 9.04 to 9.10 using update manager would it work if it is installed under windows [16:53] HelpPleaseSomeon: be sure /media/Vista exists and you are using the right /dev/sd## [16:53] is it possible to do an upgrade if my /home/ was encrypted and do it without losing data? [16:53] Makavel, my only issue is with the graphics chip they used in it. I prefer the open source drivers as I don't get tearing issues when watching video. however the open source drivers don't have 3D yet, so it's a tradeoff [16:53] ravimaggon: it is probably a good idea not to bother attempt upgrading, and just do a clean install of 9.10, many people have had issues with upgradeing [16:53] there are many ntfs that exist but will dissapear [16:54] sebsebseb: i searched it haha it's his full name i use to have a hard time recalling it, well that program looks really nice hehe i'm going to install it brb [16:54] HelpPleaseSomeon: that statement made no sence to me. [16:54] I am using ecryptfs [16:54] scott_ino2: have you used a computer with the intel atom processor? if yes, would you compare the AMD with the Intel Atom processor? [16:54] I click on a drive and it asks for password, then a key icon appears [16:54] intel atom is ape slow. [16:54] Makavel, i own a computer company and use many intel atom processor comps [16:54] compared to ANY normal desktop processor [16:54] sebsebseb: can it result into corrupting win also [16:54] HelpPleaseSomeon: If you mount them from fstab.. then they will be mounted without you needing to click on them first [16:54] ravimaggon: no [16:54] there are many ntfs partitions that exist but will dissapear [16:55] <{[Aaron]}> Hi, I've just recovered grub 2 on 9.10, however I'm having some problems. When I now boot get some sort of grub command line screen, can't seem to boot into anything... more info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8241433&posted=1#post8241433 [16:55] Makavel, performance is comparable, pretty much the same in my opinion. [16:55] ravimaggon: just make sure when you clean install, not to select the use entire hard disk option, since Windows will go then [16:55] <[ZAF]-Coral> Pici, can you reinstall just the file system without formatting the drive ? [16:55] but I cannot browse through the drives, only in shell [16:55] ravimaggon: assuming you have a hard disk with both on [16:55] !ntfs-3g | HelpPleaseSomeon [16:55] sebsebseb: if i upgrade wuld ubuntu botting may cause ny problem [16:55] HelpPleaseSomeon: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [16:55] SwedeMike: you can't expect desktop processor power from any laptop computers. besides that, you can't even compare atom to normal laptop processors [16:55] <[ZAF]-Coral> so that I don't have to back my stuff up [16:55] Okay...my gnome machine (the server), has a folder shared. How do I access that share via the client machine? [16:55] is there a recommended sip client for ubuntu? preferably one that also work on windows [16:55] HelpPleaseSomeon: IF you mount them from the fstab. you can go to /media/Whatever and browse them all you want. [16:55] scott_ino2: alright... thanks scott_ino2 [16:55] sebsebseb: what do u mean by with both on [16:56] Catwoman69y2k: places -> connect to server is one way. [16:56] nick: I have an P8600 in my laptop (lenovo thinkpad X200). It's pretty close to desktop power. [16:56] <[ZAF]-Coral> My home drive specifically speaking [16:56] ravimaggon: yes you might get problems after an upgrade, not everyone gets the same problems also after an upgrade. Plus I assume you did a guided install for 9.04 meaning Ext3, and no Ext4, if you do a clean install for 9.10 you will get the Ext4 file system and Grub 2 as well [16:56] Dr_Willis On KDE? [16:56] is the new unexpoital kernal in ubuntu ? [16:56] nick: will run circles around atom [16:56] Yeah, they dont appear in media for some bizare reason [16:56] ravimaggon: I think you should go through the release notes for 9.10 [16:56] Catwoman69y2k: go ask in #kubuntu I guess. :) i dont touch kde any more [16:56] !notes | ravimaggon [16:56] ravimaggon: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [16:56] Makavel, np, like I said if you're considering getting this comp weigh the graphics/driver issues accordingly. I don't run compiz on my machine, however it does work. [16:56] SwedeMike: i have a macbook pro 2.8 c2d.. still prefer desktops [16:56] [ZAF]-Coral: Is your home on a separate partition? [16:56] nevermind, I will look at that link and then reinstall [16:56] how do I include shared objects in my binary so that users don't need to install the libs? [16:56] got back [16:56] <[ZAF]-Coral> nope [16:56] :) [16:56] ravimaggon: Are you dual booting? Windows and Ubuntu on the same computer/hard disk [16:56] wow sebsebseb my system is so unfree :/ whish it show too free alterantives that would rock [16:57] can anyone help me geting VNC working on ubuntu 9.10? I can login but the screen never updates on the client side even though i can still control things via the client [16:57] gronlund, you do compile using static link [16:57] Can anyone offer and advice please or should I try the forums? [16:57] obiwan_: By the way GNewSense is based on Ubuntu and 100% free software from The Free Software Foundation [16:57] !gnewsense | obiwan_ [16:57] obiwan_: gNewSense is a GNU/Linux distribution based off Ubuntu with the aim of containing only free software. The Website is http://www.gnewsense.org - Support in #gnewsense, NOT #ubuntu [16:57] Its not right, some bug probably [16:57] !patience | skillen [16:57] skillen: 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. [16:57] yeah sebsebseb but heard it's abandoned now [16:57] sebsebseb: actually i have installed it under windows but at time of booting i have only one option to boot either win or ubuntu [16:57] HelpPleaseSomeon: so mount them by hand/via fstab.. or not :) i guess.. [16:58] Does anybody know where to configure authentications so that programs stop using gksudo to ask for passwords, and basically no program asks for a password before doing something requiring admin privs - just does it ? ? [16:58] JonathanEllis: Sorry, idk. I have to go now [16:58] [ZAF]-Coral: Then you're taking a gamble if you install over your current install. I know you can tell it not to format the partition,but I'm not sure what it does for the home directory if you specify a user with the same username. [16:58] obiwan_: Canonical had something similar, that is no longer worked on, GNewSense still is [16:58] sebsebseb: now i heard that ubuntu will simply let you install just free software in the installation time [16:58] tak [16:58] joaopinto: I'm using g++ and tried $g++ prog.cpp lib1.a lib2.a but they in their turn seemed to need more libs [16:58] soreau: Thanks for all your help [16:58] Drives all show up in fdisk and I CAN mount them but they dissapear :/ [16:58] petrweb: Swedish? [16:59] gronlund, you need the static version for the libs you are linking against [16:59] very odd and I am not very good with Linux yet [16:59] HelpPleaseSomeon: add them to /etc/fstab [16:59] HelpPleaseSomeon: your use of the term 'dissapar' means very little.. are they still listed when you use the 'mount' command? [16:59] gronlund, but your question is too complex for here, better ask on a C/C++ develoment channel :) [16:59] sebsebseb: actually i have installed it under windows but at time of booting i have only one option to boot either win or ubuntu [16:59] sebsebseb: anyway it's necessary for me to use some privative drivers cause the free ones won't work with some hardware of mine [16:59] says they are already mounted [16:59] when I try to mount [16:59] if I have a dualboot system and can't get networking under ubuntu, is it possible to run apt from windows to download the updates? [16:59] joaopinto: well they say it's to platform oriented... [16:59] <[ZAF]-Coral> Pici, well .. I hope then they built ubuntu so that it saves your home if you choose and if you change the user name it will just make another folder [16:59] HelpPleaseSomeon: and where does it say they are mounted to? try accessing that directory with the file manager. [17:00] HelpPleaseSomeon: there are options for the gnome desktop to show/hide mounted/unmounted filesystems [17:00] <[ZAF]-Coral> Pici, If not they should implement such a mechanism [17:00] obiwan_: in these Free Software only distros, there is usaully or always is even, a way to install propritary drivers [17:00] joaopinto: but aren't .a libs static? [17:00] [ZAF]-Coral: I can't say either way, I haven't tried it myself. [17:00] Says they are mounted to Media, where one would expect to find them [17:00] I am thinking that having a 2 step process is better than spending 2 days with no result on getting nfs or even samba to work [17:00] <[ZAF]-Coral> I will let you know the result [17:00] how can I show them please [17:01] <[ZAF]-Coral> I am going to backup though [17:01] obiwan_: Debian is Free Software Only or whatever, and yes a way to do propritary drivers there, Ubuntu is based on Debian you probaby already know that [17:01] gronlund, they are === rizal is now known as mohdrizal [17:01] HelpPleaseSomeon: use file manager, browse to /media/whatever and see if the things are actually there? [17:01] they are not there [17:01] have even tried Gparted [17:01] <[ZAF]-Coral> Just so time consuming [17:01] tried gparted to do what? === sylchauf is now known as Sylchauf [17:02] Catwoman69y2k: nfs here was about a 5 step process. :) i then cut/pasted onto 3 different machines. [17:02] can someone help me get grub2 to recognize my xp partition? [17:02] Catwoman69y2k: but i got all my box's set to static ip's so that helps a lot [17:02] hello any clue as to limiting kernel memory to 2GB on a $GB system? [17:02] ravimaggon: Oh you did Wubi? [17:02] Catwoman69y2k: and about 90% of that wiki/guide was not needed for my situation [17:02] can anyone help me geting VNC working on ubuntu 9.10? I can login but the screen never updates on the client side even though i can still control things via the client [17:03] ilikefood: is it mounted? [17:03] sebsebseb:yes [17:03] !vnc > Frozen-Solid [17:03] Frozen-Solid, please see my private message [17:03] Yeah. Both my server and my laptop (the client in question) are behind the same firewall. Its a DHCP setup [17:03] sebsebseb: yeah i know i will , that's be too talibanist to just let you choose free software, but then i'd be pretty much the same i am now, i think i'll keep with this, and when i upgrade to karmic i'll choose just free in the instalation time. as wikipedia says, then it should let me to not install the unfree softw [17:03] so setting via IPs wouldnt work once the router gets reset from power failure or whatever [17:03] ravimaggon: Ok Wubi can be ok for testing, but it can also go wrong on people, for proper long term usage, a real proper partiioned nstall is the way to go [17:03] i'm honestly not sure how to check...i'm a real noob when it comes to linux [17:03] Catwoman69y2k: i set my router to give the same ip's to specific machines based on their macs. :) gives me the best of static and dynamic [17:03] sebsebseb:ok thanks [17:04] well sebsebseb it's time for me now to have a sleep, thank you and see you soon my friend, may the force be with you [17:04] obiwan_: ok bye [17:04] & with free softw [17:04] how can i change repositories servers on kubuntu 9.10 ? [17:04] sebsebseb: vnc is up and running - but as soon as i'm logged in the screen doesn't update on the client side - i don't need help setting up vnc itself [17:04] Yeah. I have an AirLink101 and it seems to let me set a static IP for the router, but not a static IP for computer connected to that router [17:04] Can I make empathy identify with my nick password at Freenode? [17:05] /etc/apt/sources.list darkham [17:05] Frozen-Solid: Ok well you need someone else to help with that [17:06] obiwan_, in ubuntu system-----administration----software sources, in kubuntu can i do the same? [17:06] sebsebseb: i managed to find a bug related to it https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vnc/+bug/77442 [17:06] darkham: by the way #kubuntu is the channel for yep Kubuntu [17:06] somebody knows why 'vi' does sometimes weird when I connect true ssh to another server ? [17:06] Frozen-Solid: ok [17:06] I've been having trouble with a segfault in libc since one of the Karmic beta releases and it has continued even on a fresh install of the official karmic release. [17:06] dupondje: its proberly not gettting the termcap/terminal type set properly [17:07] dupondje: ive never had an issue going local --> ssh -> (vi) on remote. or are you chaning them to a 2nd remote box?

[17:08] Dr_Willis: i'm ssh'ing to another server.

As soon as I added it and pressed "save" it tried to mount it. Problem was, I got "permission denied" [17:10] {[Aaron]}, could you paste your grub.cfg in nopaste pls?

[17:11] Catwoman69y2k: what command did you do to try to mount it? whats the fstab line look like? [17:11] Does the fstab file have a place for setting the uid/gid? Maybe that is why it lets me open a folder up of this mount but then says "permission denied" [17:11] I have just made a clean install. Now I have a problem with the ttf-mscorefonts-installer.

[17:17] aigon: ntfs-3g should be installed by default [17:17] cousin_mario: If I understand your question properly, you have to manually update the list of packages whenever you add or remove a software source. Otherwise it looks after itself. Does that help? What are you trying to do? [17:17] Catwoman69y2k: there is no 1 'server' each box i got is a nfs server, exporting its home to the other 2 machines. and each is a client mounting the home of the other 2 machines.

[17:18] but it does need to connect with folders that site on the server [17:18] so pity [17:18] aigon fuse ntfs or native? [17:18] NeWb: perhaps you can with the alternate version? [17:18] cousin_mario: OK. I understand. I dont know how to make that happen. Have you tried googling for it? [17:19] Catwoman69y2k: set it up both ways.. see if the server can mount its own share :) thats how i tested it at first [17:19] what is that ? [17:19] Any guides on getting the "rocker scroll switch" on a HP TC4200 tablet to work in Karmic?

[17:20] Dr_Willis i installed win32codecs, but xine still wont play the .avi files [17:20] mespejel: to go from 32bit to 64bit - you have to reinstall [17:21] nerdy_kid: try vlc, or mplayer perhaps. I perfer them to xine. [17:21] Dr_Willis, you are so busy, and i think everyone must thank you first [17:21] does anyone know how to install the driver info for a lexmark 2600 series printer? [17:21] aigon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G [17:21] jacksonpan: and its past my bedtime. :) [17:21] mespejel: I think you need to download a 64bit install CD and install from scratch. I suggest backing up your 32bit version first and then installing the 64 bit version side by side so if it doesnt work you can go back to a working configuration [17:21] JonathanEllis: actually I had to touch something in gconf-editor to make sure the non-critical updates weren't proposed just once a week: now I'm under the impression the apt-get update or whatever that is is not occurring automatically, and I'd like to get to understand better how ubuntu handles it [17:21] omg but not even ubuntu is not offering the 64 bit version.. i only read there 32 bit!

Thanks!! :) [17:25] I am experiencing incredibly poor wireless performance with karmic using the "08:04.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC (rev 01)" chipset. Previously I had an option under hardware drivers to install a proprietary driver for this card but it no longer presents me with the option. [17:25] help dpkg errors with hal [17:25] is my imagination or Jaunty boot faster than Karmic ? [17:25] xbaez: much faster here [17:25] Nope.. No 64bit netbook remix.. [17:25] ubuntustudio forces me to use grub2, I'm going to install karmic in sda6, I have sda1, in what partition should I install grub [17:25] ubuntustudio forces me to use grub2, I'm going to install karmic in sda6, I have XP in sda1, in what partition should I install grub [17:25] cousin_mario: That makes sense. Good luck in your search. [17:26] Which is odd, since all atom's are 64bit. [17:27] mezquitale: grub should take care of all of that automatically. It will install into /boot/grub and will update the master boot record of the hard disk to point there instead of ntloader on sda1 [17:27] Hi, anyone know how I can get text editor to ask for authentication to edit files I don't normally have permissions to edit? [17:28] !lucid [17:28] Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l02bhwofEqw for announcement video. [17:28] bye [17:28] Snausages: Dont know but to edit those files you can sudo gedit in a terminal [17:28] jonathanellis: yeah, that's exactly what I was hoping to avoid [17:28] JonathanEllis, not in ubuntustudio, I have to specify where to install grub, I can install it in sda6--which I will install karmic, or should I install to MBR? I havexp in sd1 and intrepid in sda8 [17:29] Snausages: Why? Whats the problem with that? [17:29] yeah, its just hanging [17:29] cant connect to either. I must of messed something up [17:30] !ekiga [17:30] ekiga is an Internet telephony application included with Ubuntu, which supports the SIP and H323 protocols. Information and help at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga [17:30] JonathanEllis, I'm a lot more comfortable with the gui text editor. I know how to get around with vi and a couple of others, but it's not quite my preference [17:30] mezquitale: Can you please copy the exact screen to pastebin.com (a lot of typing I know) and then paste the link here so I can understand your question better. I have installed studio a couple of times but I dont remember much about it [17:30] Anyone know how to get the normal Gnome desktop on UNR 9.10? The desktop-switcher is missing... [17:30] hello, I just installed karmic, and when running apt-get update I get a hash sum mismatch...how can I fix that? [17:30] I'm seeing no wireless networks (despite several being nearby) on a fresh install of karmic on a Compaq CQ60. Can anybody point me to a good link? I tried the basic wireless troubleshooting guide, but it's all about drivers. In this case, the drivers seem OK. [17:30] JonathanEllis, particularly because I'm trying to edit keyboard symbols, kind of already an uphill battle with the not-quite-right keymap I have now [17:31] Has anyone else experienced that X just stop working on 9.10? When trying to start it up from a romte machine, all I get is this: http://pastebin.com/m13a78f8 [17:31] Hello guys [17:31] romte=remote [17:31] natschil: A clean install or upgrade? [17:31] MoTec: sudo apt-get purge netbook-launcher && sudo apt-get purge maximus && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo reboot [17:31] Tayos_: hi [17:31] Snausages: sudo gedit will open the gui text editor with your file in it. Alternatively sudo gedit will start it as root so you can then open the files from gedit. This discourages accidental damage to system files [17:31] om26er: ya think? i'll give it a shot.. [17:31] JonathanEllis, I'm going to login on my laptop and start the install on my desktop in a few minutes, once I'm up to that portion I'll let you know. Ubuntustudio is different in that you MUST install grub2 and when I installed the last apha karmic version it didnt work out as expected, I'll be back in a few [17:32] MoTec: nothing bad will happen [17:32] I have a problem with blender on my new ubuntu 9.10. So, when I open blender I have on menu a few bugs : http://imagebin.org/70474 . Where is the problem? [17:32] Tayos_: Clean install or upgrade? [17:32] JonathanEllis, ah, understood... I did not realize that gedit was the gui text editor... I'm only a week into this ubuntu adventure, still getting comfy [17:32] sebsebseb, clean install [17:33] mezquitale: I only installed studio 8.04 and 9.04 and that was pretty much the same as the alternate install CD for desktop ubuntu. [17:33] hi, I have a stupid question about setuid bit. I made a script that contains one line, id, I then chowned the file to root:root, and chmodded it to ug+s. I expected it to print root's id, but it prints my own instead. Help? [17:33] Snausages: Welcome and enjoy yourself [17:33] another topic... is there a concise overview of the differences between 9.04 and 9.10? [17:33] tuna-fish: You mean Grub or Grub 2? [17:33] I seem to have installed 9.04 the day before 9.10 came out [17:34] tuna-fish, the setuid bit does nothing for script files [17:34] Snausages: ok well 9.10 uhmm [17:34] I'm leaving the channel now, hope it's OK if I try asking again later on? [17:34] thedude42: really? === sharperguy2 is now known as sharperguy [17:34] <[ZAF]-Coral> Let the backup begin [17:34] is there a simple way to make it do something? [17:34] Snausages: let's talk about it in pm, since things will go a bit off topic I guess [17:34] hi. i got a black screen when the pc got back from hibernation. what could i do ? [17:34] Snausages: I wouldnt worry about it. I and some other people have had lots of problems trying to get 9.10 working. If you want to try 9.10 you might be safer waiting a few weeks anyway if you are a new user [17:34] sebsebseb, sure [17:34] JonathanEllis, karmic is a little bit difference, you have to use grub2. I'm going to start karmic install in my desktop in a few [17:35] tuna-fish, in most linux systems that is correct... the solution I have seen is to compile a short bit of C that does an execve() on the script, and make the binary setuid [17:35] om26er : sudo apt-get purge netbook-launcher && sudo apt-get purge maximus && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo reboot and if i want to use netbook mode again? [17:35] solsTiCe: hold power off button and rebbot [17:35] mMezquitale: Is there an install guide on ubuntustudio.com? [17:35] BruceSpringsteen: sudo apt-get install netbook-launcher && sudo apt-get install maximus && sudo reboot [17:35] ... to fix hibernation [17:35] sebsebseb, what I must do to remove a bug's from blender? [17:35] Brand new Compaq, Ahteros wifi not working. Orange indicator light is on, but no networks detected. Anybody? [17:36] Tayos_: I don't know, I was going to look at your screenshot though [17:36] i have installed VBox and guest addition on linux debian and installed ubuntu as guest on vbox. i have a problem with installing shared files. mount -t vboxsf myVbox /home/user/dir/. [17:36] thedude42: this is one time I am completely baffled by the decision making here [17:36] How can I see what type of disk is in my optical drive from the cli? (blank dvd? blank cd? a failed disk?) mount just says "unknown device". This computer is on the other side of the country, or I'd just look. [17:36] om26er : ty very very much [17:36] sebsebseb, look on menu, [17:36] JonathanEllis, I actually installed a 9.10RC but ran into weird troubles and backed down immediately. I found myself missing the disk utility almost straight away though. [17:36] ubuntu is very slow on my laptop, due to bad intel drivers. windows xp is much faster but I like ubuntu more. how fast would it be to run it in a VM in windows? [17:36] excuse me, i would log out from a live session, an login, what's user name and password? [17:36] will the VM pretend to have a different graphics card? [17:36] JonathanEllis, dont know, the install is straight forward, i just ran into an issue with karmic and grub2, once I have install started i'll let you know [17:36] boscop: intel driver is far better in karmic have you tried karmic [17:37] om26er, yes, but it's no difference! [17:37] mMezquitale: You might like to have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto to understand more about grub. I know it is written for grub legacy not grub2 but it may make things clearer about general principles. Alternatively have a look at the grub2 wiki [17:37] boscop: here intel is working really awesome [17:37] video [17:37] om26er, when I move the xterm window around, the cpu is at 100% === chibihogoshino is now known as chibi-is-afk [17:38] boscop: and how are you so sure its video driver [17:38] om26er, because the cpu is so high when redrwaing things [17:38] hi [17:38] ciao [17:38] hi.. i connected a CRT monitor to my laptop and want to shut off the laptop's own monitor, work only crt one.. so on debian i was using that xrandr --output LVDS --off but on ubuntu itsnt working.. what can i do [17:38] when I run 'service gdm stop' I get the message 'stop: Unknown instance'. Does anyone know what's up with that? [17:38] JonathanEllis, I've been using ubuntustudio since it first came out LoL Let me kick start the install and I'll be back in a few minutes [17:38] !torrents [17:38] Karmic can be torrented from http://hr.releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture.

In that case you know far more about it than me [17:39] ciao! una domanda, in Xubuntu è possibile installare alcuni programmi di windows come autocad, o maya, blender, 3d studio max, rinoceros?.. [17:39] om26er, also someone yesterday told me that I had to tweak some stuff and download a script that I have to run everytime xorg starts. but it didn't work either [17:39] e po xkè il mio Xubuntu nn è completamente in italiano? [17:39] tuna-fish, i don't recall where the check is made, but some time ago it was determined that allowing setuid on scripts by default is a bad thing [17:40] om26er, it's so damn slow. it's the same speed since I installed it which was 8.04 === syntax is now known as Guest58911 [17:40] om26er: well, yes.. the netbook launcher is gone.. but i've got no menu or icons or right-click menu.

[17:43] it kind of looks weird [17:43] my ubuntu One also appears there [17:43] jakelley: yes, the purpose is to show 'high priority' messages in the top slot and lower priority ones belo wit [17:43] wow.

If you want speed and a decent GUI go for gnome, if you want eye candy and have a fast machine, go for KDE, if you're an artist and use a lot of multimedia appz, go for ubuntustudio [18:03] whoops, looks like I was in the wrong room === w00t_ is now known as Guest95632 [18:04] tckb: then "dpkg -i gfxboot_xxxx.deb" [18:04] xubuntu is very good [18:04] Tesssa: yes it is [18:04] xubuntu is nice.

[18:49] logan_: haven't had the problem on karmic, but it is still worth a shot [18:49] is there a particular partitioning scheme that will optimize my server? I'm installing a new system now, and I'm at the partition section. Last time I just put the OS on the disk. I'm not duel booting. I plan to eventually run as many websites as the machine can handle.

[18:50] there seems to be a lot of bugs in 9.10 that were not in 9.04 [18:51] Vashta_Nerada: A single partition ( possably a separate paritition for swap, but even that isn't important if you don't use it much ) is fine "optimization" wise [18:51] sebsebseb: yep [18:51] hi how do I restore my grub2?

[18:52] as it continues after a timeout with some more output - starting hardware abstraction layer etc [18:52] docmax: Look into "xrandr" [18:52] sebsebseb: could it be HDD corruption [18:52] I'm running the Ubuntu netbook remix and I installed firefox-3.5 so I now want to remove firefox-3.0, but apt wants to remvoe the ubuntu-netbook-remix package, which is recommended to not be removed by packges.ubuntu.com.

I want to report a bug and i don't know if it belogs to wpa_supplicant or linux or another package. how to proceed? i believe it is a kernel thing. i'm trying to connect to my wlan and on far distance kern.log says it's associated and after a few seconds it says: "wlan0: disassociating by local choice (reason=3)" and reassociates again [18:53] kankan_: 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 ..."

I was wondering if there was some sort of IP blacklist application that I can use to drop all IPs from certain countries (Russia & China for example), as the server is getting pounded by failed auth attempts from those places. [18:53] so who spits out the message? kernel or wpa_supplicant? [18:53] epinky | How would I do that? [18:53] windows tends to suggest 1.5, should i go with bill's advice? [18:54] sebseb: i hope there is a way [18:54] logan_: BIOS?

[18:55] make it 3 gig?..... oh, and how do i instruct it ... i understand if you might not know, but is there a directory that i should type in? [18:55] qui ?

In connect to server I've figured out ssh (high overhead) & connect to windows share (only works if I've shared a file). Which of the other options should I use if I'm not concerned about security & just want to get files as fast as possible over the network from any location on the other computer?

[20:51] ok, sanity check - backed up my /home from 9.04, took my package selections from dpkg, did a clean install of 9.10, re-selected and installed all my packages, cp -r 'd my /home back over... none of my settings have migrated, but i see all my others files. what gives?

I think that file is messed up and that is why my Users and Groups dialog shows no users [20:53] anyone here having trouble with karmic and intel 945GM .. e.g. bombs out to commandline at the point when xsplash should start [20:54] alazyworkaholic: I imagine very little for portuguese, since the characters are latin...but with languages with completely difference characters sets, it allows you to type the words phonetically and replaces them with the correct characters (or gives you a menu to choose between several possible mappings) [20:54] antonis: try snd-intel8x0 [20:54] Jordan_U: gparted shows the drive, /dev/sda , unallocated [20:54] antonis: or something like that [20:54] silidan: trying.... [20:54] LiquiD_FLo0R: try /msg ubottu info proftpd-basic [20:54] with 9.10, if you run "apt-get install esound esound-clients libao2" it says it will uninstall package "ubuntu-desktop". That sounds quite bad. Is it bad? [20:54] Since upgrading to Karmic the grafical login does not appear anymore. However if I log into the command line then and start the X server with startx, gnome is "booting" up fine. Any ideas what might went wrong? [20:54] MWebmistress: /etc/passwd and /etc/group are the important files... be careful, you can really mess things up manually editing them [20:55] thanx guntbert [20:55] MWebmistress: use the adduser/usermod commands [20:55] LiquiD_FLo0R: you're welcome :-) [20:55] and the passwd command [20:55] peace [20:55] /msg ubottu info proftpd-basic [20:55] Jordan_U: so what tip do you have? :-) [20:55] lol [20:55] !lol | LiquiD_FLo0R [20:55] LiquiD_FLo0R: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis.

[20:56] is there a way for me to use my encrypted /home after a reinstall? I can't access it [20:56] ah, yes, I wanted to see if editing the passwd file would let me be able to ftp a user into the /var/www directory (username is www-data which chowns all var/www files) [20:56] even [20:56] christ this is ridiculous... just tried doing 'update-grub' instead, only generates for 9.04 [20:56] Rockj: Would you mind filing a bug report with "ubuntu-bug ubiquity"?

[20:57] MWebmistress: sorry, i haven't configured it... maybe somebody else knows [20:57] silidan: this driver like snd-hda-intel is listed under /lib/modules/ in older kernels but not in 2.6.31-14 [20:57] no, but theres no grub.cfg in /boot/grub so I assume I'm using legacy grub?

Let me see if I can get it up [20:58] LiquiD_FLo0R: for info about a package you type !info but you should get a "private chat" with ubottu before [20:58] now when i want to start lenny i get "you need to load the kernel first" :( [20:58] LiquiD_FLo0R: and / must be the first character [20:59] LiCeT: Can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?

[20:59] alleykat: I'm not sure [21:00] ubuntu server 9.04 date/time is incorrect - how can I fix this - using ntp didn't see to do the trick [21:00] vsftpd has a quirk [21:00] debating on the upgrade. Is it likely to run happily on a Dell Vostro 1400 laptop [21:00] i get some space between the message and the top menu bar [21:00] Jordan_U: filling out the bug report now. [21:00] I have finally gotten my BCM4328 recognized and working in 9.10 but the darned thing will not connect to my network. It goes through the motions and then repeatedly asks for my passkey which I supply. Any thoughts? [21:00] Sorry to bother again, I still have my ssh problem [21:01] hi, in my Karmic installation there is no cpufreq module loaded but the processor (Atom) seem to scale frequency dynamically, how it is possible, can someone clarify?

Is there a way to force that off, such that network-manager always reports networking to be up? [21:01] Anyone want to assist me in dualbooting? I've had ubuntu installed, got a windows7 installed too, reinstalled grub, however, when i try to boot windows7 it doesn't work. I think maybe i'm using the wrong (hd0,0) anyone know how i can find out which is the right one? [21:01] Frostshock, Thank you for the input but that is not an option at the moment.

It is just its inability to connect to my router even when I throw it into the DMZ [21:03] I if get the source of a package through apt-get source it doesn't come with ubuntu specific patches applied already, correct? That's in the packagename.diff.gz? [21:03] KerrMD: Kubuntu?

[21:08] what do you mean with "asking in grub"? [21:08] KerrMD: you should see it somewhere under status or something, you should be able to download updated firmware for that router from Belkin, and if you continue to have trouble with it, you can try the open source linux software for the wrt54g's [21:08] <[manas]> i got nForce2_smbus 0000:00:01.1: Eror probing SMB2 when im trying to boot my machiene [21:08] antonis: try asking in alsa channel or lad but dont expect a fast answer [21:08] silidan: can you point where to look? [21:08] LiCeT: there is a channel #grub [21:08] in chan...sorry :D [21:08] got it [21:08] Jordan_U, but i thought it's not compatible with compiz?

There is no update for its firmware [21:09] Slart: long long[730][730] works but long long[800][800] gives seg fault . so i guess it is memory limit only [21:09] udssr_shorty: With compiz you can do it in ccsm, I don't remember exactly where [21:09] silidan: thank you [21:09] i just tried to goto 192.168.1.1 wich i can access from min winbox' [21:09] mgmuscari, any url for somewhere to start looking for it's open source alternative firmware? [21:09] Frostshock: do you mean the popup bubbles? (notify-osd)...if that's what you mean, it unfortunately isn't configurable [21:09] antonis: there was a package with firmware in its name, maybe there is something in you need... [21:09] KerrMD: http://openwrt.org/ [21:09] Hi, i've just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10, the audio doesn't work anymore; when I go into the sound preferences dialog it shows no devices. Any ideas how to resolve this? [21:10] KerrMD: try the Belkin firmware first [21:10] sorry to butt in guys.,... is there a specific channel for install problems please? [21:10] And it gave me a error on my ubuntu box [21:10] mgmuscari, Thank you. I have to step away so I will look at it in a bit [21:10] rohil: try asking in #c++ ... or in ##c++ , I can't remember which one it is [21:10] KerrMD: good luck [21:10] udssr_shorty: You can do it with the Place Windows plugin in ccsm [21:10] Slart: k I thought it was more of an OS problem [21:10] silidan: i think I saw it somewhere. will look again [21:10] It's ac97 onboard audio if that makes a difference. [21:10] rohil: are you allocating that memory with 'new' or on the stack? [21:11] curly: *this* channel :) [21:11] soreau: do you have any idea where the compiz settings are stored? my config is gone since i did a clean install of 9.10 and cp'd my 9.04 /home over the new one... [21:11] ledbettj: no it is static allocation through an array [21:11] I was wondering if anyone knew how I could get ahold of virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-25-rt? I recently upgraded my kernel and it doesn't appear that I can get that module through apt-get. [21:11] soreau: come to think of it none of my settings for anything seem to have made it... kind of at a loss [21:11] When I try to copy some files by (click and drag) into .icons folder, it says that I'm not the adminstrator, though, I am.. How to bypass this, or be reconized as the admin?

[21:14] !pppoe | dygey [21:14] dygey: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [21:15] soreau: hmmm but they are stored in my ~... they aren't symlinks are they? i think i forgot to dereference symlinks when i backed up my /home... [21:15] Jordan_U, soreau thanks! [21:15] curly: please give as much details as possible and don't direct your question at me - I might not be able to help [21:15] kwyjibo: you should report that as a bug. You can allways use synaptic ? [21:15] !bug | kwyjibo [21:15] kwyjibo: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [21:15] udssr_shorty: np [21:15] udssr_shorty: np :) [21:16] ty [21:16] erUSUL: this is not a bug. it is a conscious effort on the ubuntu devs to remove accessibility by hard coding colours into the package manager [21:16] mgmuscari: Read that link I gave you. I don't know what your specific setup is [21:16] kwyjibo: in other words a *serious* bug. [21:17] brb got to restart [21:17] i am trying to install ubuntu 9.10 64bit and cannot get past a screen error... the screen flashes like crazy [21:17] Does anyone here dual boot? [21:17] soreau: thanks... i was looking at that the other night and didn't see what i was looking for. you think maybe cp just didn't overwrite files that were in-use? my .bashrc didn't go back to my old one either... [21:17] 9.10 seems to have a lot more problems than 9.04 did -- or is it just my imagination ? [21:18] erUSUL: if you consider this a bug, I will file a report. http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/120706/buh/bad3.png [21:18] those blue colours are not part of the user theme [21:18] mgmuscari: If you cp the necessary files over it may or may work depending on if the compiz version has changed and you are using the appropriate backend [21:18] they are hard coded and cannot be changed and are unreadable to a person with poor vision [21:18] kwyjibo: do you have problems with the contrast of that theme? [21:19] kwyjibo: just curious... i hate light themes too [21:19] kwyjibo: i considered it should be brought to attention of the developers and the only way to do that is with a bug report [21:19] the theme is supposed to be dark, but the package manager ignores it [21:19] erUSUL: i will do what you suggest [21:20] kwyjibo: you've got my vote for reporting it as a bug.. they probably just didn't think about it [21:20] soreau: just whatever the default packages were in 9.04 and are in 9.10... however i notice that my thunderbird settings and accounts, etc also are not coming up, even though i replaced my /home with my old one [21:20] I have a problem with 9.10, it refuses keyboard and mouse input [21:20] curly: a lot of "early installation problems" come from a bad iso image. did you !md5sum check your file? [21:20] kwyjibo: does your theme work correctly with firefox? i could never get dark themes to apply to firefox well [21:20] anyone here having problems getting dbus to start in karmic - i get init: dbus pre-start process (728) terminated with status 1 ... it prevents gdm from starting and trying to start dbus on the command line claims it is unable to connect to the system bus [21:20] my windows partition is mounted and on /media/SQ004 etc. but I can't use ntfsfix on that directory, it needs to be one of the /dev/sda's apparently, how can I know which one of those are it [21:21] yes guntbert i did [21:21] SirTopHat: sudo fdisk -l [21:21] SirTopHat: run "mount" in a terminal.. check which one it is [21:21] hi folks, got a little problem here: My server (running the server version of ubuntu) hangs up on me after 10 minutes of uptime for some reason; everything stops. I've checked the syslog, dmesg, kern.log, as well as a few other logs but can't find anything. Has anyone heard of anything similar before? [21:21] I was wondering if anyone knew how I could get ahold of virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-25-rt? I recently upgraded my kernel and it doesn't appear that I can get that module through apt-get. [21:21] Hello, after update `acpi` don't show battery (Acer Aspire One 751) how can I fix it? I can't find such bug... [21:21] anyone know why the "Network Proxy Settings" application is failing to reset my proxy? [21:22] erUSUL: is there a way i can access the old package manager, in the meantime? [21:22] srsly, its pissing me off [21:22] I just upgraded to 9.1 and now my audio drivers are missing. How do I re-install them? [21:22] I set them earlier today, when I needed them, but now... [21:22] Bjelleklang: is it a kernel panic? [21:22] Acpi worked good on Ubuntu 9.04 but not on 9.10 [21:22] curly: just a suggestion: tell the channel more details about your problem: how far into the install do you get? what settings did you make? and so on [21:22] kwyjibo: you mean the one in Apps>Add Remove ? do not think so. But synaptic should be still aviable [21:22] might be, would that happen before the kernel is able to log it, or should there be some sort of message hidden about it somewhere? [21:23] kwyjibo: System>Administration>Synaptic [21:23] Bjelleklang: you might be able to get it to do a core dump, i dunno [21:23] mgmuscari: I've pinpointed it to 10 minutes after logon, give or take 5 secs [21:23] mgmuscari: ok, I'll read a little more and see what I can find. Thanks for the tip! [21:24] erUSUL: thank you [21:24] i have jaunty installed... running the xserver-org-core version 1.6.0... i would like to upgrade to 1.6.1 or 1.6.2... where can obtain such packages? [21:24] kwyjibo: no problem === ErikWestrup is now known as Erikw [21:24] Bjelleklang: i think my approach would be to disable processes and services, and then selectively reenable them until it happens [21:24] Bjelleklang: not the most graceful way i guess but easier than trying to dig through every single log [21:25] yeah, stopping everything I can see of additional services now :) [21:25] X refuses keyboard/mouse input in 9.1. Can anyone help? [21:26] Hey guys, I'm thinking of making a M$ sharepoint like piece of software, but I'm looking for a name [21:26] hey guys this raid bug is killing me, i can install my system ok with 9.10 karmic, but when i reboot i get stuck at initfrms with an error saying my disk path doesn't exist, how can i fix this. the bug says to run dpkg-reconfigure mdadm but how can i from initfrms??

Any takers? [21:28] jonah: First mount your root filesystem from the LiveCD [21:28] My "folder icon" is refering to a wrong icon.. How do I change it, so it refers to a regular icon?

I need it to load balance between two microsoft terminal servers [21:29] all the themes I select are like it now [21:29] I've used XR but it sucks [21:29] soreau: yep, doing it now...

[21:30] evenin' all [21:30] hi folks, i'm installing ubuntu onto a friend's laptop, and the only options i have for gparted during the installation are "use / erase entire disk" and manual; what i'm wondering is if i change the size of a partition in the manual editor, will the files on the partition still be there or will it erase its contents? [21:30] mgmuscari: The actual package name that providees etm is 'emerald' [21:30] i am using ubuntu 9.04 on my playstation 3 and for me to burn films i need a dvd burner is it posiable for one to be used through usb === Spoom2 is now known as Spoom [21:31] mgmuscari: but its doing it on stock themes. emerald only lets me edit custom ones [21:31] woody555: If the PS3 has a USB port, well then probably yes [21:31] evening i am providing some screen shots for my university IT department so people can connect to the samba printers etc. What gui do gnome users use for clamav [21:31] Spoom: when resizing ntfs the app that does the work recommends backing up anyways [21:31] revo_: what window manager are you using?

[21:32] Hi, I have an HFS+ partition that I want to use on both Mac OS X and Linux, now when I mount it on my ubuntu installation, it's owned by user 501, how can I make it writeable for me now without changing the priviliges for OS X (I guess some mount option might help) ?? [21:32] metacity [21:32] ah... hmmm... i forget what the window decorator for metacity is [21:33] silidan: problem solved, reinstalling the kernel did it. thanks for your help [21:33] hi all [21:33] Hi there, what's the easiest way to make a command run on startup? I use my Fluxbox startup script, but is there something simple that works on all flavors/DEs? [21:33] Docteh, that's nice, though a) i don't have the space elsewhere and b) i don't want to have to go in and reinstall an image afterword if it *doesn't* resize the partition correctly; in any case, does it actually resize the partition while keeping its contents? [21:33] Bert_2: you might not be able to do that [21:33] Jordan_U, would you mind guiding me a bit on it, i've booted the livecd, how would i then go about mounting etc? [21:33] i guess it's metacity [21:33] I've just installed ubuntu 9.10 but my system doesn't start [21:33] when i install koala, my /home partition still has my jaunty settings, which means things that are no longer used like .screen-profiles. do i have to rm them or will they just be ignored and not conflict?

[21:41] infidel2s: Will probably just use them if it can. [21:42] Dys7opia, watermarks ftl [21:42] RhysTM: because that's the de facto linux bling, lol [21:42] lmentop: Well, not a hackintosh yet, just a Vaio laptop :P and yeah, I already have 7 and Karmic installed, so I figured I might as well add Mac onto here... [21:42] lmentop: All the guides say I'd have to emulate it with vmware/it runs like shit on x86/it's not worth it [21:42] is there any xmms(1) client skin for xmms2 ? I would like if xmms2 looks like xmms1, is that possible ? [21:42] MasterofPuppets: that violates the license, you can only install mac os on mac hardware [21:43] ActionParsnip: Let's pretend for a minute that I don't care about the legal aspect. ;) [21:43] how can I IRC from empathy? there's no IRC option. empathy-idle IS installed [21:43] MasterofPuppets: I have no clue about dual booting a hackintosh but I can't see why not. I own a mac so I can't comment on the stability of os x on a vaio. [21:43] MasterofPuppets: the channel isnt to discuss illegal asctivity [21:44] What's a good program (preferably one I can get off package manager or add/remove) that I can use to download videos straight from youtube?

[21:45] cabuloso: add it to their hosts file, or add the name / ip to your dns server as a static entry [21:45] but just now i did ifconfig eth0 down/up and was able to pon dsl-provider [21:45] i think i fixed it :) [21:45] Shoe: After you load a YouTube video all the way in your browser, open the file manager and go to the /tmp/ directory... there will be a video file there that you can copy and move to somewhere else. That's your YouTube video. [21:45] How do I log in as an adminstrator so I can delete stuff etc? [21:45] but it always dies [21:46] knoxville sudo nautilus?

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [21:46] RhysTM: gksudo nautilus you mean [21:46] indeed i do [21:46] ActionParsnip: It's not illegal as defined by the state, though :P [21:46] mgmuscari: I did a selective backup (copied) and restored (copied) from that [21:46] halt: have any problems? none of my stuff is being recognized... pidgin settings, thunderbird, compiz, etc... [21:46] ActionParsnip: i use PPPoE so the DNS is automatic from the ISP, is there any other way ?

[21:47] hi can anyone please help me get past initframs please [21:47] farfar: yep, that's what i did.... for some reason none of my settings are being acknowledged by the associated packages [21:47] mgmuscari: i had to chown and chmod the files for the new install user [21:47] i've loaded up a live cd but when i run sudo dpkg-reconfigure mdadm it says it's not installed, it's acting on the livecd and not fixing my system [21:48] halt: did that too... what'd you do, chmod 750? [21:48] ActionParsnip: this in my server, but what about the other computers, is there any configuration I must do ? [21:48] mgmuscari: yup [21:48] Andorin, file manager? [21:48] mgmuscari: I only copied a few "settings": ff-passwords and ff-links and and .gnupgp [21:48] cabuloso: the others could have a similar entry added, if you use dhcp you could add the addressing to the dhcp info but /etc/hosts is a bit easier [21:49] tmp directories? Sorry, I use firefox for more casual things. Don't know all the inner workings [21:49] Shoe: When you go to the menu at the top and go Places --> Home, you're opening the file manager into your home directory. "File manager" is just what you use to browse your files and such. [21:49] i used the USB Startup Disk creator to put Ubuntu Server 8.04 on my flash drive. It boots fine, but during setup, it throws up an error about not being able to fine the Ubuntu CD in my cdrom drive. How can I make it ignore this, and install from FLASH instead? [21:49] uhhh can i not do chmod 750 anymore? [21:49] using numbers instead of rwx etc [21:50] I'm still confused. What do I do exactly? [21:50] is there any media centre that will work with ubuntu 9.10? [21:50] Shoe: Go Places --> Home at the top of the screen, and in the search bar in the file manager, type /tmp and hit Enter. [21:50] mgmuscari: su first, then chown to the new user, then chmod [21:50] i.e linuxmce or xbmc? [21:50] Shoe: /tmp/ sorry. With the extra slash at the end. [21:50] wow FAIL [21:50] RhysTM: xbmc i available in karmic [21:50] cannot access `750'; no such file or directory [21:50] wtf... [21:50] RhysTM: just takes a ppa [21:50] Hi, I installed ubuntu-studio and now it removed the nice new store [21:50] Ubuntu decided it wanted my laptops IP wtf can i do to prevent it from stealing my connection? [21:51] mgmuscari: sudo chmod -R 750 [21:51] How do I change a files permissions? [21:51] Shoe: If you've loaded a YouTube video in Firefox (and not closed the window), you should see a flash video file. You can copy that file and paste it onto your desktop, and keep that copy. [21:51] ActionParsnip: oooh really? is there a how tro? [21:51] to* [21:51] ActionParsnip: how do I add this to the dhcp info ? [21:51] what should happen in gnome when I hit ctrl-alt-backspace? [21:51] anyone here synchronize their firefox3 bookmarks between different computers?!? [21:51] anybody using empathy for IRC? I can not see options for IRC. Empathy-idle IS installed. [21:52] hi folks, i'm installing ubuntu onto a friend's laptop, and the only options i have for gparted during the installation are "use / erase entire disk" and manual; what i'm wondering is if i change the size of a partition in the manual editor, will the files on the partition still be there or will it erase its contents?

[21:52] meway, check if theres a static ip set, if not, youve got a problem with your DHCP-server thats handing out IP's [21:52] mMezquitale, , I use xmarks to sync them [21:52] cabuloso: depends on what you are using as a dhcp server [21:52] hi all [21:52] ledbettj, gotcha. I'm on 9.04, trying to implement an alternative keymap [21:52] cabuloso: most garbage home grade routers dont allow this [21:52] ledbettj: Snausagesyou can reenable it with dontzap i think [21:52] Snausages: so, usually it will restart X :) [21:52] ActionParsnip: A Belkin router [21:52] !dontzap [21:52] To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect.

It doesn't seem to restart the server on this 9.04 netbook remix. [21:53] in 9.10 you can just tick ctrl+alt+backspace as a shortcut for restarting the X server int he keyboard shortcuts window in prefs [21:53] man, they really don't want you to be able to kill your x server now... [21:53] I installed ubuntu-studio and it replaced ubuntu software center with the old add/remove applications [21:53] joakim-: nice, thanks :) [21:53] hello i am currently on live cd but ubuntu wont recognize my hd durring install what should i format the hd as with gpart so i can install [21:53] cabuloso: most dont have such functionality so you wil have to configure each client, if you setup a Linux box or a system so you can add the extra info in the dhcp message you have more power [21:53] i notice i can't install ubuntutv (working in a standard karmic distribution) [21:54] applet seems not to start [21:54] ActionParsnip, i have been able to find a mouse to buy.

[21:59] vanadaar : I am trying to log on to my email via yahoo and it keeps saying that the SSL protocol has been disabled [22:00] pticochon: if it speeds up anything at all, it doesn't matte whether it's xfce or something else [22:00] pticochon: i tried it back in hardy, and i don't remember it making any noticeable difference [22:00] meway, i dont use network-manager mysel, but there should be an option somewhere to set it to automatic instead of manual for example [22:00] OK here is a nice question. I have ran proftpd for months with no issues. I was away for a cpl days and came back to find the service stoped, Log files showed a pile of attempts to log in from invalid accounts. It now wont start at all even after re-installing the package [22:00] ubuntu__: try partitioning and laying the disk out in gparted, then reboot and see if the installer sees the disk. [22:00] okay thanks [22:00] Hi...after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 my grub only show 8.04 in the list. How can I solve this? [22:00] vanadaar what should i format the hd as [22:00] No error msg's when i issue a restart on it [22:00] pticochon: and besides i think ubuntu is using prefetch or something by default already anyway [22:00] Piranah, check what log files the tool has and see what the output is [22:01] do you think that makes a difference [22:01] What is the command to make everything available in a directory? [22:01] should be somewhere in /var/log [22:01] thanks [22:01] Or you could say, give permissions +rwx [22:01] any other ideas to speed up my system?

[22:15] hvn: so why do you have 2 ubuntus installed? [22:15] BA^ just download the xubuntu package from synaptic [22:15] unimatrix: i dont [22:15] BA^: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [22:15] Hello, I just installed 9.10 on a Dell Latitude D630, and my resolution is not detected properly on the laptop, or external monitor. I have an Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Card [22:15] unimatrix: i upgraded from 9.04 [22:16] when i have a window (say, Opera) in fullscreen, and i mouseover a link, the desktop background flashes up for a fraction of a second when the tooltip is first displayed... using compiz, anybody know a fix for this?

[22:16] killsoft: can i still switch back to gnome if i don't like it? how about others like iceWM ? [22:16] unimatrix: no, i did the online upgrade from 9.04 [22:16] No good. [22:16] atlifiasco: try system/administration/hardware drivers [22:16] BA^ yes [22:16] BA^: yes [22:16] good evening, I'm trying to install kubuntu 9.10, but installer shows me my 2 80 GB disks (with prepared ext3 and swap filesystems) as a raid without any filesystems, but it isn't raid, is there any way, how to disable raid functionality in installer, to allow me to install kubuntu on my disks? (I'm using the first one for / and second for home, but there are also another filesystems) [22:16] Hi... Howdo I install xmms in Karmic? [22:16] BA: I have K and L running, LXDE is neato. [22:16] guest331413 : i can find " removable drives and media " and then? [22:16] Silly question folks. How would I go about connecting to my router via ethernet instead of wireless. I cannot seem to do it wirelessly. [22:17] can anyone tell me how to adjust the time of purple notifications? [22:17] right now im stuck on 1024x768. My default is 1280x800 on the laptop, and 1680x1050 on my external monitor [22:17] hvn: so you're telling me that your ubuntu somehow downgraded itself to 8.10 instead of upgrading to 9.10 [22:17] jxjl, that is very weird, what type of hard drives do you have ide or sata? what machine do you have? [22:17] KerrMD, get an ethernet cable, also called UTP-cable [22:17] Does someone knows if karmic works on a dell studio 17 laptop ? [22:17] KerrMD, plug it in and type 192.168.0.1 [22:18] mathspeed, Yes. [22:18] unimatrix: no, grub show 8.04 in the list [22:18] KerrMD: you sure you're using the right address.. typically 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 [22:18] what others are out there and are any good besides xfce or iceWM? have an older computer and this is definitely faster than windows, but would like to see just how fast it can go ;) [22:18] Scunizi, it should actually be 192.168.2.1 if you are refering to the gateway [22:18] I'm on Karmic and the hard drive keeps blinking every 3 seconds when I am on AC power. I read this has something to do with sreadahead? It is very annoying and I want to know if there is a safe way to disable this constant disk activity, even when on idle? [22:18] BA^: icewm is the fastest ive seen, that's for sure [22:18] unimatrix: no, and when booting it ends up in maintenance shell with kernel 2.6.24-16 [22:18] none can help me? [22:18] ok to everyone who had trouble upgrading to 9.10: REINSTALL... seriously, it's not worth your time debugging all the upgrade problems [22:18] atlfiasco:system/preferences/display ? [22:19] Hi... Howdo I install xmms in Karmic? [22:19] nobody? [22:19] Scunizi, The thing is that in the network manager I have no option to create a new wired connection [22:19] zopiac: how do i install that? rtfm? [22:19] BA: There are many, I am liking LXDE right now. [22:19] KerrMD: yep.. with x.x.2.1 that means you or someone has changed it from default [22:19] BA^: you could try the really light ones like ratpoison or ion3...they are significantly different than the others you mentioned though [22:19] BA^, have you tried openbox? [22:19] mathspeed, install it and find out, I'm using a Dell Latitude D610 and karmic works great, usually linux doesn't work with the newest technology but you can give it a try and share your experience with the rest of the class? [22:19] Scunizi, No, that is the default for Belkin routers [22:19] unimatrix: could i try running grub-install or so? [22:19] deviant-route: just installed ubuntu 3 days ago... so real newbie [22:19] my labtop is fujitsu simens amilo pro v3515 and my wireless card is atheros .. last day i upgraded from 9 to 9.10 and after upgrading i can't find ( wireless networking ) on networks gui and also i can't find (Ath) interface on ( ifconfig )'s output ??? can any one help me plz ?? really i need help to resume my work :( coz vodafone usb modem sucks [22:19] KerrMD: new to me.. so are you trying to disconnect wireless and connect with wired? [22:19] jugglerbry, the highest resolution that i can select is 1024x768 [22:19] oh ok [22:19] BA^: it looks like crap though; sudo apt-get install icewm* should do the trick. its been a while since i installed it though... [22:20] openbox,fluxbox,jwm, the list goes on and on and on. [22:20] hvn: i'm not sure what that will do, and since your system boots into an old kernel something weird must've happened... doubt grub-install will help [22:20] christianp: i believe desktop-switcher was buggy and removed for 9.10 [22:20] i use openbox and i can tell you its really fast [22:20] BA^: I use icewm for all of my gaming and 3D modeling, so much better than a full gnome+compiz setup xD [22:20] Scunizi, I cannot connect with wireless. It cycles through asking for my key. I provide the correct one but does not want to connect. I was hoping that if I could connect via eth that I could update and work out the problem a bit easier [22:20] is there any GPU acceleration for mpeg/avc playback for linux? (windows alerady has it) [22:21] docmax, I think there is CoreAVC for Linux now? [22:21] what is the best way to create a bootable usb drive with lots of iso images? that emulate cd [22:21] I'm on Karmic and the hard drive keeps blinking every 3 seconds when I am on AC power. I read this has something to do with sreadahead? It is very annoying and I want to know if there is a safe way to disable this constant disk activity, even when on idle? [22:21] jorgp: unetbootin, google it [22:21] my labtop is fujitsu simens amilo pro v3515 and my wireless card is atheros .. last day i upgraded from 9 to 9.10 and after upgrading i can't find ( wireless networking ) on networks gui and also i can't find (Ath) interface on ( ifconfig )'s output ??? can any one help me plz ?? really i need help to resume my work :( coz vodafone usb modem sucks [22:21] KerrMD: sure.. all you have to do is plug in the wire.. then right mouse click the network icon up by the clock and turn off wireless.. it should automatically request dhcp [22:21] unimatrix: so basically the upgrade ruined my system? [22:22] mMezquitale: two SATA disks connected to disk controller om motherboard (ASUS M2A-VM), It has a possibility to make a hardware RAID, but it is disabled in BIOS I have successfully installed any previous versions of ubuntu but now there is that problem [22:22] zopiac: thanks for the info... i'll have to give it a try [22:22] flan_suse, oh yeah, i heard of.. but is there something build-in? [22:22] BA^: you're welcome [22:22] hvn: don't be surprised it ruined mine on two computers... === BA^ is now known as BA^away [22:22] hello folks [22:22] ok, i know enough [22:22] flan_suse: you can probably change a setting using hdparm, netbooks had this problem and i think they used hdparm to stop the head parking. if that's your problem... [22:22] docmax, I'm not sure. For my desktop computer, high-def AVC / h264 plays smoothly, even on full screen. [22:22] Scunizi: i saw that u saying to some one ( turn off wireless ) ... my problem is that i don't fine ( wireless conenction ) :( after upgrading to 9.10 [22:22] i'm out [22:22] Scunizi, I cannot even ping 192.168.2.1 even after disabling the wireless === The is now known as Guest88980 [22:22] Who was helping me before?

[22:23] ciao [22:23] jxjl, try installing ubuntustudio and see if it likes your machine, I would suggest to remove one hard drive and see if it accepts it [22:23] lmentop, it's not the head parking. [22:23] Does anyone know why there's no MenuBar in my Terminal? or is it new in karmic 9.10? http://nopaste.info/8179603c82.html (it does have "Show MenuBar enables with right-click) [22:23] flan_suse, yeah mine almost too, but cpu is at 50%... with dvxa acceleration in windows its only about 10% [22:23] I'm running ubuntu Intrepid [22:23] lmentop, it is constant disk activity, every 3 seconds. (I'm already using ideal values on hdparm and laptop-mode) [22:24] btw, anyone on xchat here? xchat should also have a menu bar right? [22:24] I appear to have an inconsistency in arpa/nameser.h [22:24] Pholious: it should have one by default, but you can try adding one (right click panel, add to panel, menu bar) [22:24] i think its called nvidia cuda or something [22:24] lmentop, so there's no way to install the classic desktop? [22:24] say, I just ran apt-get update and upgrade several times, and I'm having these few updates always held back for some reason. How do I figure out what I need to do to get them? [22:24] pholious:CTRL +F9 [22:24] I want to turn off my touchpad, is there a quick way to go in shell? [22:24] Pholious: oh sorry, confused what you were talking about, nm [22:24] sys/types.h defines u_char etc only when USE_BSD is defined. However, arpa/nameser.h uses u_char a priori without requireing USE_BSD [22:24] Pholious: sometime a gdm reatart will fix this - when I boot sometimes, I have no workspaces [22:24] docmax, hm. I wish I knew more, but I haven't really searched around since it's not a major problem for me. There might be something out there, but it would all depend on the video card drives and the video player, as well. [22:24] KerrMD: in the same area.. disable all networking .. wait for a few seconds then reenable networking without ticking the wireless box.. give it a little time and it should connect.. that is unless you've set a static ip for that machine that is outside the subnet [22:24] can someone help me load up my webcam? [22:25] Scunizi: my labtop is fujitsu simens amilo pro v3515 and my wireless card is atheros .. last day i upgraded from 9 to 9.10 and after upgrading i can't find ( wireless networking ) on networks gui and also i can't find (Ath) interface on ( ifconfig )'s output ??? can any one help me plz ?? really i need help to resume my work :( coz vodafone usb modem sucks [22:25] im on 9.10 [22:25] my labtop is fujitsu simens amilo pro v3515 and my wireless card is atheros .. last day i upgraded from 9 to 9.10 and after upgrading i can't find ( wireless networking ) on networks gui and also i can't find (Ath) interface on ( ifconfig )'s output ??? can any one help me plz ?? really i need help to resume my work :( coz vodafone usb modem sucks [22:25] Scunizi, No, no static ip's are set. Will give it a go [22:25] Pholious, I use xchat, and yes there's a menu bar [22:25] allowoverride, sudo apt-get install cheese [22:25] EgyCoder09: sorry that I can't help with.. I'm not a big wireless expert [22:25] shooree: Have you updated keys and such? [22:25] hmm, CTRL + F9 didn't work, wasn't hidden [22:25] i tried cheese, it doesn't see /dev/video0 [22:25] Scunizi: it's ok thanks :( [22:25] shooree: === crashflow2 is now known as crashflow [22:25] there's two that report wrong keys, vigo [22:25] Blue1, I'll try that, thanks [22:25] that's it then? [22:25] hello [22:25] docmax, hopefully in time as Linux gains more traction, these things will come naturally as part of the OS. [22:26] Scunizi, Seems to be a no go [22:26] docmax, I have to run now, sorry! [22:26] Pholious: sometimes that fixes a multitude of problems [22:26] shooree: Sounds like the error to me. [22:26] Can someone help me with booting to Vista? Grub isn't giving me the option to. [22:26] KerrMD: strange.. sorry I'm not sure where to go from here. [22:26] I would like the bash to stop trying to guess the program name I have failed to invoque [22:26] ok, thanks for clarfying that, vigo. [22:27] Scunizi, I am not even sure I see the eth in an lspci. I see the wifi but cannot see what should be a network adapter for eth [22:27] it takes to much time to give me back the prompt [22:27] shooree: My pleasure, please let us know if and when you get it worked out. [22:27] Can someone help me with booting to Vista? Grub isn't giving me the option to. [22:28] Chewy: Is Vista listed in the MBR ? [22:28] who has a good guide for installing WMP firefox support? [22:28] in 9.10 [22:29] christianp: check out https://bugs.launchpad.net/desktop-switcher/+bug/349519 it seems that if you switch to classic you might lose your panels on a restart, there should be a fix/workaround in that report though [22:29] Can someone help me with my webcam? there is no /dev/video0 error. all the web cam programs say the same thing. no /dev/video0 [22:29] lspci shows its there though [22:29] Chewy, Did you not get grub to automagically setup the options for booting to P(V)ista? === zenit is now known as Guest40576 [22:29] Nazcafan: uninstall command-not-found [22:29] Blue1, I don't see a restart option for gdm? [22:29] KerrMD: maybe it's turned off in bios? [22:29] Pholious: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart ..from a terminal [22:29] ahh, thanks :) [22:29] bouas noutes [22:29] thanks lmentops :) [22:30] How do I get a GUI for a ubuntu database server [22:30] ? [22:30] darn, that gdm restart didn't help either :( [22:31] Anyone? [22:31] Onsokumaru, what kind of GUI are you asking for? One for the OS, or the database software? If the latter, which database are you using? [22:31] need one for OS :3 === marius is now known as Guest76464 [22:32] bastid_raZor, Pholious, gdm has gone upstart, use stop gdm and start gdm [22:32] Need to get a desktop. don't wanna use this Dos thingy :3 [22:32] Ubuntu 9.04: I need to ssh into a remote computer that has two NICs. I tunnel into NIC A and I need to forward internet from NIC B into the SSH tunnel on NIC A. Any ideas how i can accomplish this?? === zenit_ is now known as zenit [22:32] Scunizi, Thanks, I had completely forgotten that I disabled it in bios. Sheesh === pollywog is now known as froglet2 [22:33] tormod: yeah i need to study up on upstart. [22:33] nDuff: Need to get a desktop. don't wanna use this Dos thingy :3 === Cronecke1 is now known as Cronecker [22:33] anyone have ps3 experience? [22:33] karmic was a disaster on my desktop machine, I am left with a blank screen [22:33] Does someone knows if Karmic Koala works W/O problems on a Dell Studio 17 ? [22:33] on my netbook the upgrade went well [22:33] zopiac: thanks, but that is for only 1 image and the image has to be in their list, I have lots of images that i want to use not in the list [22:34] tormod: sadly the !upstart factoid is a bit lacking.. [22:34] so I upgraded the desktop and lost data for nothing :( [22:34] N30N, you know how to use ssh -L and -R ? [22:34] Hi, I just upgraded to 9.10 and now my sound doesnt work? [22:34] jugglerbry, I figured it out. I'm using my laptop in a docking station, and the "Mirror Screens" setting was checked. I guess ubuntu only showing the resolutions that are support by both monitors unless you uncheck that box. [22:34] gxr: yeah same here [22:34] tormod, no, what do -L and -R do?? [22:34] Onsokumaru, yes, I saw the first time; I'm not answering because I don't _know_ how to install X and GNOME on Ubuntu other than at OS install time. (It's certainly possible, but not something I'm familiar with) -- so we're waiting for someone else who *does* know to answer. [22:34] and no X either [22:34] N30N, do need to tunnel out through NIC B, or allow connects from internet through to the ssh client side ? [22:35] Does someone knows if Karmic Koala works W/O problems on a Dell Studio 17 ? [22:35] N30N, connection forwarding (tunnelling) either way, see the man page [22:35] joeyeye, I only need to tunnel out through NIC B, no need to forward requests from NIC B into the ssh tunnel. [22:35] mathspeedy, youre the second person to ask the same question today, it should work though there are no guaranteed, just try it, karmic works GREAT on my dell latitude D610, dell actually ships laptops with ubuntu as well so I suppose you shouldnt have issues that you cant fix [22:35] nDuff: alright [22:35] fortunately, I have a jaunty CD and I know jaunty runs on this machine [22:35] froglet2: how did you configure your X server previously? [22:35] howdy folks, can you 'hear' me? [22:35] tormod, thank you, i read the man page, but im still confused as how to use -L and -R. ill ask google. [22:35] ok [22:36] YeTr2, it worked out of the box [22:36] mathspeedy, how many hard drives you have on your machine? [22:36] mathspeedy, I installed it last week on an XPS...works like a champ...unlike Vista/Win7 [22:36] onw [22:36] one * [22:36] KerrMD: sometimes it's the simplest things :) [22:36] is it stable and safe to use NTFS filesystem on linux ? [22:36] hi guys. how can I get e2fsprogs with ext4 support on Hardy? it's dual booted with a gentoo install that uses ext4, but gentoo won't boot. I want to check the partition from Hardy. [22:36] mathspeedy: my friend has a dell studio and it works fine in it. [22:36] I think I just had to set it for nvidia rather than nv [22:36] am I showing up in chat? [22:36] mortal1: no [22:36] mortal1: no [22:36] mortal1, No [22:36] :) ok, now that we've established that [22:36] froglet2: so what is the problem? does it just flash, and eventually end up in the console? === fjxg is now known as LiquiD_FLo0R [22:37] ok nice, because I had some problems with the 9.04 upgrade last time :| [22:37] mortal1, You're non-existent. [22:37] N30N, yes there are some good examples/tutorials around [22:37] hey all. I recently upgraded my eeepc from 9.04 to 9.10 but my wireless network isnt working properly. It connects, I can access Google etc but after transferring 10-20mb from another PC using samba or FTP, it completely hangs. Dmesg says: wlan0 no probe response from AP 00:1b:11:60:98:fd. And then it authenticates again. How do I keep it properly connected? it worked fine in 9.04 though... [22:37] not even console, just all black [22:37] Scunizi, It's like my A+ teacher said way back when. (KISS) Keep it simple stupid [22:37] KerrMD: yep [22:37] hmm, darn, stop and start didn't work either :/ [22:37] i upgraded on my msiwind and now the screen flickers some times when i adjust my brightness [22:37] mathspeedy, most likely you wont have any issues but like I mentioned before, there are no guaranteed and most issues you can most likely fix, i'm quite happy with karmic, ive been using karmic alpha 6 and beta tested it on my laptop, it's awesome, i just installed on my desktop today, karmic is the king [22:37] froglet2: when it happens, push "ctrl+alt+f3" [22:37] !:p [22:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about p [22:37] froglet2: it should show you a command prompt [22:38] hmm, somehow external usb drives aren't auto-mounted on my system anymore ... how can i fix this? [22:38] yes I can get a console that way [22:38] Scunizi, Now to get these updates done and see if I can get this bloody BCM4328 to connect to my wireless network. A grounded laptop is not cool. [22:38] (i'm using minimal ubuntu jaunty) [22:38] what happened to f2 though? [22:38] and f1 [22:38] DarK``_, what app youre using to configure your wireless? [22:38] froglet2: I would first check to see that the upgrade process finished, try running "dpkg --configure -a" [22:38] good idea [22:39] Onsokumaru: it really depends on how much of a desktop you want, you could just do a sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, although that will give you alot of stuff you probably don't want on a server [22:39] so, I'm in the ubuntu installer, and it asks me if i want to "require password to decrypt home partition". A.) Does my current /home partititon need to currently be encrypted in order to use this? and B.) If I select this option, will it require me to format my /home partition? [22:39] hello. has anyone had trouble with nero under karmic? [22:39] Pholious, what was your original issue (why restart gdm)? [22:39] hi, how can i update openssl on 8.10? i have 0.9.8g right now [22:39] froglet2: you will need to run the previous command as root by either logging in as root, or using sudo, which ever you prefer [22:39] Onsokumaru: if you just wanted something light you could install xorg and a window manager/desktop [22:39] I assume the partition would need to either be currently encrypted, or be reformatted. [22:39] YeTr2, yes all packages installed [22:39] I dont like the 9.10 sound configuring program it has anyone know how to get a different one? [22:40] mMezquitale: the default gnome networkmanager applet (in the tray) [22:40] How can i make a service start at start up if it requires root access? [22:40] Onsokumaru: or maybe phpmyadmin? [22:40] I think if I add a password for root, I will get a proper GUI [22:40] on 9.04 I could change output to my bluetooth etc I think [22:40] tormod, Applications like my terminal and xChat all are lacking a menu bar. I tried right clicking terminal, but menu bar already activated, It's not hidden with F9 and restarting gdm doesn't help either [22:40] froglet2: next, I would suggest checking the log file for Xorg to see if there are any obivious errors in the output. check /var/log/Xorg.0.log [22:40] is there any way I can do an md5 sum on an ubuntu cd I just burned? the drive made an uncomfortable noise right as it was finishing burning... [22:40] I will try that to diagnose this [22:40] N30N, ssh -D will achieve socks behavior if that's what you're looking for - local clients would be configured to connect to the specified port on the client end of your ssh process, and then at the sshd end, it will "figure" out where to connect to [22:40] tormod, Then other applications like Firefox -do- have a menu bar [22:41] hmm, somehow external usb drives aren't auto-mounted on my system anymore ... how can i fix this? [22:41] (i'm using minimal ubuntu jaunty) [22:41] Pholious, that has nothing to do with gdm. maybe your window manager is acting up [22:41] trism: tried ubuntu desktop, didn't work for some reason [22:41] ah thats great altfiasco, glad you've got it working [22:41] Pholious, try: metacity --replace [22:41] DarK``_, when I first installed karmic I had major issues with wired and wireless, I installed NetworkManager Applet 0.7.996 on karmic and it's the very best wireless connectivity app i've ever seen [22:41] window manager seems to be set up properly as well [22:41] DJ-Nomad: try kmix [22:41] <`efeX> Does anyone know the windows live messenger feature that lets you send and receive text messages for free to mobile numbers? Is there a linux equivalent for that? [22:41] hi, I am trying empathy but all the video and audio option are disable.. any idea why?? [22:41] what's the program that's like screen, with with the sweet tabbar along the bottom? [22:41] tormod, http://nopaste.info/8179603c82.html [22:41] StrangeCharm_: byobu [22:42] I am going to reinstall jaunty, it is the fastest way to get a working system that is acceptable [22:42] joeyeye, i dont have a problem tunneling into the remote nic. the problem is, I am tunneling into NIC A on the lan side, and cannot reach NIC B on the internet side [22:42] trying gnome-core [22:42] StrangeCharm_: it actually is screen, just with a nice default config [22:42] mMezquitale: I'm running Karmic and networkmanager applet 0.7.996 [22:42] efex you can send texts from yahoo mail [22:42] froglet2: install pastebinit via aptitude, "aptitude install pastebinit" , then run "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit -a froglet2 " [22:42] question is... does ext4 work in jaunty? [22:42] <`efeX> DJ-Nomad: i was hoping for something without checking mail, live messenger pulls it up as if its an IM not an email [22:42] froglet2: yes [22:42] thanks, trism, i just wanted to know what to say to reconnct to my existing session [22:42] froglet2, of course [22:42] N30N, you can't reach NIC B from where though ? [22:42] Does anyone know if the "require password to decrypt home folder" will reformat/encrypt my home partition? [22:42] lstarnes, ty [22:42] Pholious, so it's all the time? [22:43] whats the command to restart? [22:43] froglet2: it's supposedly more stable in 9.10 though [22:43] reboot [22:43] Pholious, try creating a new user to check [22:43] StrangeCharm_: byobu -r (you might need a -d if it is still attached) [22:43] Will upgrading from 9.10 => 10.04 LTS be supported? [22:43] Onsokumaru: sudo reboot or sudo shutdown -r now [22:43] efex , k didnt know how it worked on windows [22:43] Onsokumaru: restart what? [22:43] tormod, alright [22:43] yacc: it should be [22:43] yacc, why not? [22:43] or shutdown -r now [22:43] ay, thanks [22:43] reboot works [22:43] lstarnes, maybe but I can't get karmic to work properly [22:43] is there any way I can do an md5 sum on an ubuntu cd I just burned? the drive made an uncomfortable noise right as it was finishing burning... [22:43] hello, i need a network service to run at startup but it requires root access how can i do this? [22:43] runs great on netbook [22:43] Well, I know that 9.10 => 10.04 should be a non-issue, but X => X LTS is the question, ... [22:43] joeyeye, NIC A and B are on the remote server. I can ssh into NIC A on the lan, i need to tunnel internet from NIC B into NIC A and then into the ssh tunnel. [22:44] hans: start up a PC from the cd, there's an option to check for defects [22:44] brb relogging to new user [22:44] conb123: add it to root's crontab (see man crontab and man 5 crontab) or /etc/rc.local [22:44] alright, I just installed a GUI but it doesn't start. what to do??? :/ [22:44] !chanserv [22:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about chanserv [22:44] !grub [22:44] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards.

Tnx! [22:45] Guest64623: what kind of freezes? [22:45] froglet2: do you still want help trouble shooting? [22:45] N30N, right, but I presume you're trying to tunnel from your client, right so e.g. firefox(proxified)->ssh->sshd(on NIC A)->Internet(NIC B) [22:45] Hard lock-ups, no mouse movement, no keyboard have to hard reset [22:45] mMezquitale: when using the wired network (eth0) all is fine though.

[22:46] tormod, good call, it's there in a newly created user, it might be this theme I use through emerland theme manager [22:46] YeTr2, no thanks I am seeing warnings about my CPU temp, something that jaunty does not show [22:46] !ping [22:46] pong! [22:46] I installed gtkpod-aac and went to put a video on my iPod, and when I go to my iPod, it says the video name and everything, but when I try to play it, it's just a black screen, and I can't press any buttons for a little while.

[22:46] my labtop is fujitsu simens amilo pro v3515 and my wireless card is atheros .. last day i upgraded from 9 to 9.10 and after upgrading i can't find ( wireless networking ) on networks gui and also i can't find (Ath) interface on ( ifconfig )'s output ??? can any one help me plz ?? really i need help to resume my work :( coz vodafone usb modem sucks [22:46] about every 30 mins or when ripping DVDs or using internet ton download liek update manager or synaptic, also happened with 9.04 [22:46] Skyhigh: happened twice, and then JUST WORKED [22:47] it is not kardware nor kernel [22:47] hardware [22:47] joeyeye, that is correct. I can ssh into NIC A just fine. but then how do I tunnel 'again' out of NIC B?? bridge? iptables?? another ssh? [22:47] Does anyone know if selecting 'require password to decrypt folder' will require my /home partition to be reformatted/encrypted? [22:47] torgrimt, thanks a lot! :) [22:47] I installed gtkpod-aac and went to put a video on my iPod, and when I go to my iPod, it says the video name and everything, but when I try to play it, it's just a black screen, and I can't press any buttons for a little while.

(9.10) [22:48] karmic has bad karma for me ;) [22:48] N30N, you start your ssh client with the -D switch, configured to listen locally on a port (say 1080), then configure your client (e.g. firefox) to use socks procy on localhost:1080 ... presto should work all the way through [22:48] lol mee too, always a freeze [22:48] i'm loving karmic [22:48] efex are you still here? [22:48] freezing? never here [22:48] * mortal1 sighs [22:48] or at least not yet === ubuntu_ is now known as acad43 [22:49] Hello I wonder if it is safe to install skype...heard something about a trojan in skype [22:49] joeyeye, the ssh tunnel works fine. the problem is, that while the tunnel reaches NIC A, its not forwarding to NIC B on the internet side [22:49] N30N, what ssh client are you using ? ssh, putty ? [22:49] anyone know why karmic and other ubuntu releases might freeze constantly with no hardware faults and no kernel faults and no xorg faults [22:50] anyone know of a small vnc viewer program i can download; ubuntu does not come with one and my apt is busy (can't install from apt now)?

Could it be my power supply? Could it be my CPU? [22:50] Guest64623: run a memtest if you haven't already [22:50] btw I think my upgrade from jaunty to karmic crashed due to the same problem, it does not like my video card, apparently [22:50] Guest64623: well then it sounds like a hardware issue [22:50] i did it passed [22:51] N30N, and you're using ssh -D 1080 username@ssh-server-name or somethin like that ? [22:51] Hey folks. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 which comes pre-installed with Perl 5.10, but I'd like to move back to 5.8.2 for development compatibility purposes. What is the best way to go about this?

[23:43] Mka: so thats not the sollution i look for, but thanks anyway :) [23:44] cdw32: ehm, it involves turning the computer off, unscrewing the old videocard, unplugging it, plugging it the new one, screwing it in... or is that not what you're asking? [23:44] Gnea: that doesnt work [23:44] uzi_: do you have an operating system in it? [23:44] LogicalDash: sure -- but is tehre something that will let me click and mount a drive as /home/files ?

[23:45] HI [23:45] gnea it still wont let me it says error [23:45] Brova: either that or you didn't restart firefox after intalling [23:45] how can i check what a partition's (hd*.*) is? [23:45] is it ok to simply keep 9.04...and just do t he upgrades? or will at some pint to forced up to the next OS? [23:45] mistahjc: see what i told Brova [23:45] uzi_: is that all?

[23:46] whoah wait a minute lstarnes [23:46] whats that mean' [23:46] By default 9.10 file ssytem is ext4 so better do clean install from previous versions [23:46] SirStan: use "blkid" or "vol_id" or "tune2fs -l | grep UUID" for ext? filesystems [23:46] Balsaq: If you want to do 9.10 you could attempt upgrading or just clean install, plus if you do clean install Ext4 by default and Grub 2 [23:46] Balsaq: it will not be supported then [23:46] My Dell laptop won't come out of hibernation. [23:46] Gnea. i did restart firefox. "killall firefox" [23:47] Balsaq: which means that canonical will no longer help with it, it won't get security updates, and this channel likely wouldn't support it [23:47] Brova: then you probably have an offending flash plugin laying around [23:47] uzi_: I thought you wanted to chainload to the USB HD? [23:47] How can i a BASIC Cd in Ubuntu ? [23:47] uzi_, no, grub will use the BIOS to find the usb drive [23:47] is ext4 rock solid [23:47] it's not openeniingg :( [23:47] Brova: type about:plugins in the address bar and see if you have more than one flash plugin listed [23:47] LjL i thought it could be a software issue... [23:47] djzn yes work vry good i have no isues at all [23:47] djzn: no, but it almost is [23:47] lstarnes sebsebseb bummer 904 is the best..better than xp and all of em === furuno_ is now known as furuno [23:48] djzn: it's still wood solid [23:48] can anyone help me install flash player [23:48] cdw32: in which case, you wouldn't upgrade your video card...

[23:48] Balsaq: wait until 9.10 gets more stable ot 10.04 is released [23:48] infidel2s: no [23:48] mistahjc: for firefox? [23:48] Balsaq: of course I don't have 8.10 installed on my hard disk anymore [23:48] sebsebseb whats the deal/bebfit of ext 4? [23:48] mistahjc: you have to remove any offending flash plugin first. see what's already installed: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep flash [23:48] what about reports of large files being corrupted by ext4 (see 9.10 release notes) [23:48] LjL thanks [23:48] yes [23:48] Hasanibrahim, if this is a cd you've burned yourself, try another media [23:48] i thought so [23:48] benefit i meant sebsebseb [23:48] mka yes [23:48] Hasanibrahim, and try a slower speed for burning [23:48] Mka & tormod: The computer i'm using doesn't support booting from usb. so i'm trying to chainload into this usb hd from grub 1.97. [23:48] no u can have ext3 but not sure it will be converted to new ext4 then [23:48] Spoom: i have no copy of it [23:48] Gnea, Trism: i have futuresplash and shockwave [23:49] heres a question [23:49] mistahjc: install mozilla-plugin-gnash [23:49] and i didn't burn it [23:49] Hasanibrahim, what is this cd? [23:49] if i type in smartctl -a /dev/sda into ubuntu, what will it do [23:49] i need datas into it. [23:49] Brova: did you install those from the repository? [23:49] OUTSOURCEKILLER: it won't be unless it is manually upgraded, afaik [23:49] My Dell laptop won't come out of hibernation. [23:49] Spoom: it was working before [23:49] sebsebseb lstarnes i see wait awhile then take 910 when then next issue is out [23:49] Hasanibrahim, what is this cd? [23:49] but now, i can't open it [23:49] Balsaq: with 9.04 it wasn't perfectly stable, becasue of the kernel they have and such, but much faster boot up, shut down, and disk checking. With 9.10 I am not sure if it realy matters, in fact I haven't installed the 9.10 final yet after testing since alpha 4, when I do. I am going to install with Ext3 first to test like that, and then do Ext4 for my proper install [23:49] an xp copy [23:49] thanks lstarnes [23:49] uzi_, yes but do you have an OS or kernel on the usb driver that you want to boot? [23:49] uzi_, *on the usb disk [23:50] Brova: those are just mimetypes for the same plugin, I mean, is there more than one Shockwave Flash heading in the plugins section [23:50] why do you need to open it in ubuntu? what are you trying to do? [23:50] Brova: i don't see those in the repos, therefore, we don't support them [23:50] Hasanibrahim: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [23:50] i have fresh install with ext4 [23:50] tormod: Yes, I do. I can boot from it on other computer that support usb booting [23:50] I have ubuntu 9.10 w/ wine 1.1.31 and no matter what I install it doesn't. The installs seems to work flawlessly but when I go to the "C drive" there is nothing there other than the dirs that came with the original install of wine. Is anyone else having this problem? [23:50] Flannel: i got one of the parts from the fstab, didnt bother setting up any other parts in the fstab at the time, blkid didnt show my the (hd*.*) though, any other way to get my other part? [23:50] sebsebseb what is the deal with ext4? is it a better file? [23:50] Gnea: all i did was type sudo apt-get install flash player, i dont know what the other one is [23:50] I have an unusual question. How does one go about removing Evolution. Synaptic will not allow it. [23:50] Balsaq: it's a new file system [23:50] Brova: you have to check the local database. dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep flash [23:50] i have to open a *mdf mssql file so i need to install iis for it. (for msde) [23:50] epinky: it's not a boot problem [23:50] uzi_, ok then set root= and chainloader +1 should work [23:50] Brova: i just gave you that command, again, to see [23:50] i can't access files [23:50] Guest71480: Oh, so you want to know about partitions that aren't in fstab? `sudo fdisk -l` (thats an L) will list them for you [23:51] Balsaq: it supposedly has better performance [23:51] Brova: you have to type it in a terminal [23:51] Balsaq: well I just told you what it did to 9.04, if it was optionally selected [23:51] tormod: tried, but it says "Boot error" [23:51] lstarnes wow i just have never had a better OS than 904... [23:51] and i need to install iis [23:51] Balsaq: but there are other differences [23:51] how about installing a .deb file any one? I have been having problems === chaky_ is now known as chaky [23:51] do you see the usb hd partitions listed if you run just uuid or find from the grub shell? [23:51] hi all I feel karmic is far polished than jaunty do any one agree [23:51] sebsebseb ok screen moving fast [23:51] cdw32: what problems? [23:51] cdw32: what .deb file? [23:51] My Dell laptop won't come out of hibernation. [23:51] i know sound is alot better with karmic than jaunty [23:51] !poll | dr3mro [23:51] dr3mro: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[23:51] tormod: no, i don't see it. but i can browse files on it [23:52] Hasanibrahim: ? [23:52] !love > marcus [23:52] marcus, please see my private message [23:52] Hasanibrahim: error? [23:52] marcus: missing libraries for what? [23:52] any got a Gear Head, LLC Webcam 1.3MP Motion with Pan and Tilt - WC755IPT to work with linux [23:52] tormod: i mean i don't see it in the usb device list under grub shell [23:52] marcus what is missing libs?

[23:52] I cannot install anything with wine [23:52] ;) [23:52] yes [23:52] Balsaq: no, sorry [23:52] Flannel: just trying to set up my grub config, probably just missing a option for fdisk of something [23:52] uzi_, you can browse its fs from grub? boot not chainload to it? [23:52] no matter what I try it doesn't install [23:52] Balsaq: you'll have to look it up somewhere [23:52] lstarnes ok thanks [23:52] lstarnes: Gnea its an adobe flash and it tells me that it failed to install bc there are dependency issues [23:52] ike libdistc+++ which flock needs is not there anymore. [23:52] thanks [23:52] Gnea: i got two results [23:53] epinky: no error [23:53] cdw32: did you install the dependencies? [23:53] cdw32: where did you get it from? [23:53] it's showin as Blank CD [23:53] uzi* but not chainload (I should go to bed) [23:53] tormod: I can browse, but can't chainload [23:53] Brova: can you pastebin them please? [23:53] uzi_, is grub installed to mbr on the usb drive? [23:53] \join [23:53] cdw32: if you right click and use gdebi to install it, it will try to install dependencies too [23:53] oops sry [23:53] tormod: yes, i'm sure the grub installation on the usbhd is fine. [23:53] lstarnes: gnea dl from adobe i ran the sudo apt-get install -f [23:53] In short quite a few of the apps I used to use do not have supported libraries anymore. [23:53] anyone seen this problem before? can't find much on it. i'm trying to install 9.10 and after hitting Install I get create_floppy_devices[178]: specified group 'floppy' unknown [23:54] i just created a new ext4 partition and it says it's already using 307 megabytes of it, even though it's empty. how is that? [23:54] icant get virtualbox to see my install disk in 9.10 [23:54] cdw32: that's wrong, never use direct from adobe. we don't support it. use this instead: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [23:54] trism: from the website or the dl version [23:54] Gnea: how? lol :( im new to ubuntu [23:54] anyone have that isue [23:54] My Dell laptop won't come out of hibernation.

[23:54] Hello, something real bad happened with me, in some way ALL my data on this HDD got removed, and they're important, now I need an effective recovery program runned on linux, please this can't get more important! :( [23:54] tormod: I just think that I'm missing a command or some module perhaps. Because this things worked under 0.97 [23:54] cdw32: right click on the package you downloaded in the file browser is what I meant [23:54] hey guys, i have a php script that i'm running on cron, what is the correct way to set the environment variables for this script?

[23:55] what's this mmap_min_addr vulnerability I am hearing about? [23:55] uzi_, I use grub to boot from usb sticks (because the BIOS does not have a boot menu, or the BIOS boot-from-usb doesn't work) [23:55] i love virtaulbox but dont know why i cant install xp on it now [23:55] outsourcekiller: Sounds like your file might be coirrupted. [23:55] hatter243: ah wrong one [23:55] Gnea: http://paste.ubuntu.com/310032/ [23:56] the CD I used to install jaunty ends up having no ability to resolve domains to ip addresses after one reboots. How do I fix this without downloading an official ISO image? [23:56] marcus i did double check that to and it is not the case [23:56] haitham: Any idea what happended, by the way was this with 9.10? [23:56] uzi_, if grub is installed to the MBR it should be (hd1) [23:56] haitham: check out knoppix [23:56] it install fine everywhere else [23:56] mka its still not doing it [23:56] I got the CD in a Linux Format magazine and apparently it is not complete [23:56] tormod: could you do it successfully with 1.97?

[23:57] Brova: doing killall is not good [23:57] Yes Sebsebseb, but it's not Ubuntu's fault, its when I tried to install XP as a second OS on my HDD, it never got to the installation, and also didn't boot Ubuntu, so I got stuck untill I decided to reinstall Ubuntu, there I found that my HDD was empty. :( [23:57] hello whenever i try to update i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/310034/ any help [23:57] !love > OUTSOURCEKILLER [23:57] OUTSOURCEKILLER, please see my private message [23:57] i've already rebooted [23:57] OUTSOURCEKILLER: You mean your virtual hard disk?

[23:58] something is really wrong [23:58] haitham: hmm [23:58] I am trying to format a partition to HFS+ but it is greyed out in gparted, anyone know why that could be ?

I'll try with set root=(hd1) [23:58] out of ideas. [23:58] Brova: using killall is like using a brick to open a window. you wouldn't use the brick if you could open the window manually.
