[00:06] :( [00:06] I even put it on a CD, booted it, and tried to install it from there on a USB key... nope.. just a bunch of hangs and crashes [00:06] Brova: yes, because the files aren't the same. if there are any left on the system, they need to be removed. [00:06] duckie: Which version of Ubuntu? [00:06] zhasha: you'll probably need to format you usb key .. i had a bunch of problems with this [00:06] but I felt like a massive idiot when I bought one and did not think of that [00:06] lordganesh, if you have trusted additional repository (e.g. opera) thet just say yes and it's gonna be okay [00:06] 9.10 [00:06] IdleOne: i open my Cdrom, put Win CD into it than close. Than waitin to open but it can't. it's opening as blank cd (and ubuntu recomend to burn it) [00:06] duckie: ok so GDM 2 [00:06] zhasha: easy enough if you've got a windows machine and can download and open the .iso file.. there is an .exe in there to write the image to the usb drive [00:06] sebsebseb: lemme check [00:06] duckie: Do you even see that? the log in screen [00:06] duckie: yes it's GDM 2 in 9.10 [00:06] MoTec: I don't have a windows machine [00:06] zhasha: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ubuntu-810-install-using-the-built-in-usb-installer/ That'll make a bootable USB key [00:06] Mka: i thought [00:06] zhasha, did you format it fat32 or ntfs?

[00:07] sebsebseb: yes, it only hangs after I put in my password [00:07] Hasanibrahim: I know about htis [00:07] PlasmaSheep: so it freezes when hibernating, but you can reboot and then access the system? [00:07] sebsebseb: strange thing is the failsafe gnome login works [00:07] oh [00:07] Hasanibrahim: I guess it's a hardware problem [00:07] Where is Docky in karmic? [00:07] lordganesh, either remove the repository or get the gpg key for the repositories [00:07] sebsebseb: the other user account can login no problem [00:07] duckie: personally I don't like GDM 2, because it can't be themed like the old one. KDM is also an alternative to GDM [00:07] Mka: it opens other CD's [00:07] Hasanibrahim: Yes [00:07] I'm not dicking around on Windows, I do know what I'm doing and this piece of shit just refuses to work. The Ubuntu provided utilities crash and hang left and right [00:07] sebsebseb: AND... revcovery mode is leaving graphic artifacts on the selection menu === xonesoulx is now known as pochomon [00:08] duckie: What do you mean> [00:08] ? [00:08] My recovery menu is also broken [00:08] Brova: well, did you download a .deb file from adobe's site? [00:08] UNetBootin doesn't generate a valid boot image [00:08] Hasanibrahim: maybe trying to ask in your native language would be easier. what is your native tongue? [00:08] Brova: or was it a .tar.gz or a .run file? [00:08] Ollonk: 9.10 yes? [00:08] zhasha, try k3b instead of brasero ? [00:08] yes [00:08] hrmm, rsync is taking ages to backup the windows directory of this lappy over a 100mbps connection... i wonder if the compression is the bottleneck here [00:08] Gnea: yes [00:08] IdleOne: i tried of course :p [00:08] Turkish [00:08] Gnea: it wouldnt execute though [00:08] furuno: I don't have a CD drive in my NETBOOK [00:08] ok for btoh of you duckie and Ollonk 9.10 clean install or upgrade from 9.04? [00:08] Hasanibrahim: I know about this but I cannot explain it. the interesting thing is that even Windows of the same machine gets confused of such a CD/DVD [00:08] but everybody are sleeping now :p [00:08] Brova: what? the .deb? [00:08] sebsebseb: after booting into recovery mode and scrolling down the login menu it would display weird messages over the menu and stop responding [00:08] I used the upgrade from update manafer in 9.04 [00:09] ok i did paste bin' [00:09] zhasha, try this site : http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ [00:09] sebsebseb: install 9.10 beta and upgrade to final version [00:09] Gnea: yeah [00:09] Where is Docky in karmic? [00:09] i did paste bin [00:09] Mka: i am more confused than my machine [00:09] hi - i would like to inst gitso, apt-get doesnt work any ideas pls? Thanks [00:09] Ollonk: many people have had problems after upgrading from 9.04, also if you clean install you get Ext4 by default and Grub 2 [00:09] hello, how can I enable a desktop user to shutdown the ubuntu 9.10 without a root password ? [00:09] duckie: you can't be certain to get the proper final if you have been upgrading from a beta version [00:09] Hasanibrahim: I think that your CD/DVD drive is getting bad [00:09] I installed ext4 with 9.04 [00:10] I hear bad things about grub 2 [00:10] sebsebseb: clean install the best option? [00:10] zhasha.-> Startup disk can put iso on flash drive [00:10] ricardoromao, I believe you won't need it if you shutdown your pc from the gnome-panel applet [00:10] Dnea: i did the paste bin [00:10] Okay, giving up on the retarded recommendations [00:10] Hasanibrahim: its struggling to read some DVDs or CDs [00:10] 0llonk, GRUB2 is very slow detecting my OSs (at least for me) [00:10] furuno, if I have two users logged in the system, the ubuntu ask me the root password to shutdown [00:10] Mka: i think not, it was changed nearly.. [00:10] for about 3 moınths [00:11] hi [00:11] duckie: In your case it would be a good idea to clean install, but also Ollonk should clean install really or just use 9.04. Also many people don't know that really they should md5sum check Ubuntu ISO's before burning their contents to CD [00:11] furuno: I only have linux on my machine anywayy [00:11] There's this thing that's bugging me a lot [00:11] !hi | Scotch [00:11] Scotch: Hi!

[00:19] Um, maybe someone can help me, I'm wanting ti install Ubuntu onto the second drive of this system, and I have put the download onto my USB Drive, because at the moment I don't have any cds to burn to, can someone help me figure out how to get it to install? [00:19] furuno> what is a good prog to look into? [00:19] hi [00:19] I have got a very very strange problem [00:19] chroot keeps telling me things arent a directory [00:19] ubuntu 9.10 [00:19] pARAd0X85: talk to your doctor [00:19] UGH. I was trying to delete some files in another directory through the terminal and I forgot I was still in my /home directory. I still have an (outdated) backup of my home directory, but the backup was for Jaunty not Karmic. Is there any way I can create a new user profile for Karmic using a Karmic livecd?n [00:20] karmic_police, I've never used one, but try Pitivi / Kino [00:20] I got my password modified [00:20] ty [00:20] First question: is there any way to get a DVD drive to report what kind of discs it can burn (specifically whether it can do dual layer or not)? I'm hoping for something that can get it directly from the drive's firmware. [00:20] furuno: Reason I ask is that i am trying to put together a CD-R custom repository disk for offline installs. 9.10 wont work like I have done in previouse versions. I use synaptic download scripts to download the packages from a live cd session and then burn em in a seperate folder on the disk. 9.10 is throwing fits at all of the programs like this. Kinda sucks. [00:20] Holy hell there's a lot of people in here. Anyway. I'm planning to 'upgrade' from 9.04 to 9.10 via fresh install. However, I'd like to see what 'custom' packages (above the default install) that I have installed so I can look through them and then install some of them on the fresh install. (via a new apt-get.) Best ideas for doing this? [00:20] ubuntu 9.10 don't accept my password neither the root password [00:20] How would I change the identification and drivers of an input device? (or just a device) [00:21] trying to upgrade from intrepid to karmic, got the alt disk, burned it and now I get this error message: An upgrade from intrepid to karmic is not supported with this tool" any thoughts on how to do the upgrade? [00:21] raskolnik: sudo lshw | grep DVD ..that will tell you all about the DVD player [00:21] how to fix this, this is very strange !! [00:21] why would chroot tell me things aren't a directory? [00:21] thanks [00:21] pARAd0X85: you're probably going to have to do a password recovery, which is an advanced topic. A reinstall may be a better option. Alternately, try googling 'ubuntu password recovery' [00:21] pARAd0X85, Boot w/ the liveCD, mount the installation under like /mount/ubuntu => chroot to that installation, then passwd for root and yerself. [00:21] jjgalvez: It may be safer to do a clean install on a separate partition. That way, if anything goes wrong you can go back [00:21] Guest71480: chroot only works on directories [00:22] pARAd0X85: or listen to YankDownUnder, who just explained how to do a password recovery. [00:22] Im unable to use APTonCD also cause synaptic is leaving out dependencies. [00:22] wow, alot going on at once. [00:22] YankDownUnder, kriel do you think this is normal ? a password that change by it self ?? [00:22] of course!! [00:22] ffffffffff: yes I do [00:22] JonathanEllis: I was hopping not to have to do that, this is my work computer and I really didn't want to have to reinstall all the stuff I have on it [00:22] Which version of grub comes with Jaunty? Grub or grub2? [00:22] pARAd0X85: of course not, however it apparently happened. We explained how to fix it. [00:23] pARAd0X85, Nothing is normal. [00:23] I am using Linux for many years and really I never got thing like that ! [00:23] PlasmaSheep: try booting into recovery mode and using passwd username [00:23] JonathanEllis, Grub [00:23] pARAd0X85: you might want to try trick 4: .. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-10sysadtips/ [00:23] JonathanEllis: grub legacy, iirc [00:23] i have swicthed completely to linux for almost a month now [00:23] pARAd0X85, Just consider it a great learning experience - now you can tell others how to do it yerself [00:23] so how do I get Ubuntu to patch the audio coming in from the Mic input to the speakers in 9.10? it was working beautifully in 9.04 now its not === Strywgr is now known as sun` [00:23] bastid_raZor: if it were capable of dual layer burning, would that be listed specifically under capabilities? [00:23] lstarnes: why would I do that [00:23] pARAd0X85, I hav e been using Linux since 1997 and it is still full of surprises [00:23] I upgraded via clean install to 9.10. I used to be able to run dual screens on my laptop both at 1024x?? or so resolution. Now I can run the screens at high resolution mirrored but or one at low and one at high res, unmirrored. When I run both at high, both go black or worse. How can I fix it? [00:23] PlasmaSheep: sorry, wrong user [00:23] um [00:23] I want to reinstall Ubuntu and delete ext3 partitions to create them again but I can't make it with ubuntu Live CD. I want to delete partitions with Parted [00:23] pARAd0X85: try booting into recovery mode and using passwd username [00:23] np :P [00:23] kriel, YankDownUnder how the root password can be changed without my OK ? [00:24] Can anyone tell me what version of GTK+ Ubuntu 9.10 is using? [00:24] PlasmaSheep: have you tried disabling the wlan connection before suspending? [00:24] i put my problem on pastedin [00:24] pARAd0X85, Solar flares, mate. That, or cosmic radiation. Dunno. [00:24] TRTwiggy: 2.18.3-1 [00:24] ffffffffff: no [00:24] thank you very much [00:24] image bin i mean can anyone help me [00:24] kriel, YankDownUnder I am really speaking seriously ! [00:24] pARAd0X85, maybe you changed it unintentionally [00:24] Parted shows me an error message about unmounting partitions first in order to delete 'em [00:24] ffffffffff: I'll try that. It would be immensely stupid if that's the problem. Hopefully it'll be fixed. [00:25] DBO.->How do i remove icons from docky? [00:25] jjgalvez: I have had disasters when doing an upgrade so if you are going down that route, please backup first. Anyway, I think you may need the liveCD to upgrade instead of the alternative CD but I dont know for sure. Alternatively I think update manager may offer you the choice of a distribution upgrade without a CD. Can anyone else confirm or deny this? [00:25] PlasmaSheep: I don't know much about it, I did see that occur in 9.04 and earlier [00:25] pARAd0X85: so are we. We don't know. It's called a glitch. It happens occasionally with computers. The only advice we can give you is how to fix it. [00:25] mextux are u talking to me [00:25] pARAd0X85, Any OS - whether it be UNIX, Linux, MacOS, OS/2, MS-DOS, MS-WindowsX -> they're all fulla strange things. [00:25] <`efeX> What do you use to mount .ISO in ubuntu [00:25] Can anyone verify that all packages shown as installed in a 9.10 live session should be installed by default in an actuall hard disk install? Synaptic keeps saying that some of my repository packages are missing a package that is shown to be installed already on the live session. Seems very odd to me. One of the packages is libreadline5. [00:25] `efeX, gtk-mount-iso [00:25] raskolnik: sudo lshw -c disk ..is the proper syntax and yes it would have something like dl listed [00:25] hello, is possible shutdown the ubuntu 9.10 without root password when are 2 or more users logged ? [00:25] <`efeX> YankDownUnder: thanks [00:25] `efeX: from the cli, #mount -o loop /path/to/iso.iso /path/to/mount [00:26] how hard is it to set up a ubuntu network? [00:26] sebsebseb: my terminal wont launch [00:26] hi !! can anyone please help me how to autoplay rythmbox on startup? [00:26] karmic_police, As hard as it is to breathe. [00:26] without any manual effort [00:26] froglet2, I haven't used passwd [00:26] bastid_raZor: okay thanks ... any reason lshw is not showing dual layer but Nero and K3B both do? [00:26] ricardoromao: I think you need the password. If you are in the admin group then it will be your own password [00:26] ihcus : go to System > Pref > Starup Application and choose ADD [00:27] raskolnik: also by getting the product# you can google that and see if so.. honestly i don't know if it shows that with lshw. [00:27] what about networking windoze pc's in the mix also? [00:27] <`efeX> kriel: for path to mount would /dev/cdrom work? [00:27] [first and last repost] I'm planning to 'upgrade' from 9.04 to 9.10 via fresh install. However, I'd like to see what 'custom' packages (above the default install) that I have installed so I can look through them and then install some of them on the fresh install. (via a new apt-get.) any ideas for doing this or similar? [00:27] duckie: clean instaling would be easier, then trying to fix things like that [00:27] ihcus, in the command field, type in rythmbox, and anything your like in other field [00:27] pARAd0X85, maybe your system was compromised then, if you are certain you did not change it [00:27] JonathanEllis: yep, I just finished backing up my home folder, just wondering if I have to upgrade to jaunty first and then to Karmic, thinking that might lead to real issues if I have to do it that way [00:27] JonathanEllis, but the other user need to be just a desktop user, without admin privileges [00:27] ihcus: |System|Preferences|Startup Applications [00:27] `efeX: most likely not. I wouldn't reccomend it. I'd make a new empty folder to mount it to. [00:27] bastid_raZor: yeah, I tried that ... forums seem to imply that it does, but Dell says it doesn't. The manufacturer doesn't say anything (even though the computer's only about a year old) [00:27] furuno ....thanks but how do i get rythmbox to play on startup? [00:28] JonathanEllis, in 9.04 was the Administrator policies, but in the 9.10 don't have [00:28] DBO.->How do i remove icons from docky? [00:28] Anyone else having issues installing google gears updates? [00:28] froglet2, you mean what by "compromised" ? [00:28] what up ubuntu users [00:28] ricardoromao: The user who is issuing the shutdown command must have admin rights to kick other users off [00:28] is there any way i can archive all the man pages into a html, pdf, etc? [00:28] perscitus, drag them off [00:28] for quick reference [00:28] Nope [00:28] pARAd0X85, ahem... hacked [00:28] or you could archive /usr/man [00:28] raskolnik: if k3b said it would then i would take its word for it and try. [00:28] or /usr/doc [00:28] Hello all, so, for some reason firefox stopped responding and is not even drawing inside the window anymore... I do have a ridiculous number of tabs open, but the system monitor registers very little CPU activity and only about 50% ram usage and the swap partition is not even in use... What's the problem? [00:28] pARAd0X85, There exists the possibility that your system has been compromised. Possibly by aliens. [00:28] Second question: what do I need to do to get avidemux to split a video file into pieces? I've got a piece size set in the avi mux options, but it just creates one big file [00:29] lol [00:29] anyone know how to change the dns server port for clients in ubuntu (field does not allow colons)? [00:29] JonathanEllis, I undertood this, but it's wrong, why I'll give a admin privilege to a desktop user ? [00:29] firefox stops responding all the time with me.. prolly flash related [00:29] phyrrus: thanks [00:29] bastid_raZor: I have, and it burns a coaster every time (giving a write error) ... as does Nero [00:29] armence: it froze. #pkill firefox should fix this (though, rather ugly) [00:29] armence, minimize the window and maximize it [00:29] its /usr/share/doc [00:29] karmic_police: yep probably Flash related [00:29] that is why I hang garlic near my computers, to keep away the aliens [00:29] but that would be extremely difficult [00:29] armence, you played with compiz while firefox was open? :) [00:29] jjgalvez: No you shouldnt need to upgrade to jaunty first. Backup your root partition as well as your home in case of problems. That way you can restore your intrepid if you need to [00:29] mistahjc: ? [00:29] froglet2 garlic does not keep aliens away [00:29] lightpriest_, Nope [00:29] karmic_police, You COULD "rename" the ~./.mozilla dir then try again...just to check if - IF it's a Firefox issue... [00:29] !ot [00:29] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:30] ricardoromao: Are you in the admin group? Is it you who wants to reboot? [00:30] lightpriest_, And minimized->maximize did nothing [00:30] armence, well, if you'd kill firefox and re-open it - it should restore your session [00:30] it hasn't done in a while.. mainly does it on youtube and yahoo home page with their silly popout flash [00:30] JonathanEllis, yes, i'm in admin group, but the other user don't need to be [00:30] phyruss: what would make it so difficult ? [00:30] anyone know how to change the dns server port for clients in ubuntu (field does not allow colons)? [00:30] DBO.-> im going for minimalist look [00:30] ihcus, I've checked the manual but can't seem to find the option to autoplay rhythmbox at startup, maybe a script will work, but I'm not good with script :( [00:31] Cyaoo a tutti!! [00:31] lightpriest_, [00:31] lightpriest_, OK, thanks [00:31] JonathanEllis: thats a good idea, I think I'll just some mirroring software and make a mirror of the hd [00:31] perscitus, thats what I do too :) [00:31] ricardoromao: No, only the user who is shutting down (you) needs to be admin [00:31] armence, you could "xkill" it [00:31] msconfig.. jk :P [00:31] ricardoromao, you can use visudo and add an entry for the user you want to allow to shut the machne down [00:31] ihcus, but I believe that audacious can do this [00:31] jjgalvez: I copied all my partitions to a usb hard drive with gparted before installing / upgrading [00:31] armence, ALT + F2, xkill, and click on firefox :D [00:31] lightpriest_, I just click the x and then forced quit [00:31] froglet2, add what at the sudoers ? [00:31] DBO.-> It goes well with KISS [00:31] I booted with a Live CD and can't delete partitions with GParted. I got this message --> Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5 [00:31] ohhh [00:32] that too ;p [00:32] perscitus, you should try out Docky v2.0 if you like that kind of thing [00:32] we are trying very hard to make it very KISS [00:32] JonathanEllis: you can use gparted to do that, wow never know I could do that with it [00:32] thanks furuno! [00:32] i've been having probs unmounting usb flash drives. the u3 icon anyways [00:32] oh, what's the hotkey to run a terminal from gnome? [00:32] How do I let an application access a secret in my keyring? [00:32] where's gparted in koala? [00:32] alt f2 [00:32] karmic_police: there's an issue regarding usb check out the release notes [00:32] !notes | karmic_police [00:32] karmic_police: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [00:32] So, I just tried to upgrade to karmic. [00:32] jjgalvez: Yeah, you just copy and past the partitions into empty space. You can even choose how big the pasted partition will be. [00:32] karmic_police: not a run line, a full terminal [00:32] kriel, ALT+F2 and type gnome-terminal / xterm ? [00:33] gnome-terminal is what I was asking for. kthx. [00:33] not sure [00:33] JonathanEllis, ok, but the other user need to shutdown too but I don't want give the admin status to then [00:33] But it seems to be stuck on the following item: Preparing to replace emacs22 22.2-0ubuntu2 (using .../emacs22_22.2-0ubuntu6_i386.deb) ... [00:33] emacs22 subflavors still installed, not uninstalling flavor... [00:33] kriel, or you can always create a custome shortcut keys in System > Pref > Shortcut Keys [00:33] anyone know how to change the dns server port for clients in ubuntu (field does not allow colons)? [00:33] JonathanEllis: very cool I will have to give that a try [00:33] ricardoromao: Its much better practice to get the other users to log off first anyway. If the other logged in users have files open then there could be data loss [00:34] why don't i have gparted or system > preferences > partition in ubuntu 9.10 ? [00:34] ricardoromao, http://tinyurl.com/38sy74 [00:34] infidel2s: ,because for installs it does not get installed by default [00:34] infidel2s: sudo apt-get install gparted [00:34] can i install kde on gnome? [00:34] DBO.-> Oh. your forking .. sorta. [00:34] infidel2s, it is not installed by default [00:34] kankan_: You can run many KDE apps inside Gnome yes, just like many Gnome apps can run inside KDE === Sememmon is now known as Sememmonpw [00:34] kankan_, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [00:34] JonathanEllis, yes, I know, but into a home desktop, I don't worry with this "possible problem" [00:35] kankan_, I'm doing it right now :) [00:35] kankan_: They don't look right though [00:35] kankan_: You can also have kubuntu-desktop installed and xubuntu-desktop as well if you want, and select between them from the log in screen, choose which one to run === maxjay is now known as MaxJizzy [00:35] furubo:is it a good idea? [00:35] How do I get grub to detect another distribution and update its menu so it can boot both? [00:35] how do i remove every program of GNOME and only stay with XFCE? [00:35] kankan_ : I don't see anything bad? [00:35] anyone know how to change the port on a dns server in ubuntu (client-side)? [00:35] perscitus, not really a fork, just move the processes apart to let both breath more [00:35] * Gnea gives up === Andorin is now known as AK|zmobie [00:35] kankan_: hillshum I run Konversation in Gnome for example as my IRC client, and I like how it looks differnet from Gnome/GTK apps [00:35] kankan_, and you can switch between gnome / kde as you wish [00:35] sebseb,furuno:will it slow down my speed? [00:36] perscitus, Docky had become over 50% of the code in Do, it just was impossible to continue with [00:36] kankan_, for modern PC, no, it just use more disk space [00:36] kankan_, actually, not at all [00:36] kankan_: KDE 4 might be a bit slow I guess on hardly any RAM [00:36] ricardoromao: Well you have a choice: you can give admin rights to the user you want to allow to shutdown or you can get the other users to log off first. Its there for safety [00:36] Gnea: sorry im back [00:36] Does anyone know how to get my 9.10 upgrade unstuck? [00:36] DBO.-> Just dont become like awn and become bloated [00:37] ricardoromao: Or you can give the user passwords of the other users so he can log them out first. Its really up to you === AK|zmobie is now known as Andorin [00:37] sudo apt-hardware install --oc:4.2G i7-920 *duh* [00:37] sebseb,furuno:how much space will it take.i have only 512MB of ram. === Manifest1 is now known as Manifest [00:37] Can I have a couple opinions on how well apt-get upgrade works from 9.04 -> 9.10? I'm not usually a big fan of OS upgrades (as opposed to fresh installs) however I'm tempted instead of dealing with my package issue. [00:37] perscitus, oh i know, we are avoiding bloat :) [00:37] hi, i got such a serious problem with my grub, because of the upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 with an Olibook [00:37] clahey: Many people have had issues after upgrading 9.04 to 9.10, some have had problems trying to upgrade such as yours even [00:37] how od I backup xorg.conf? [00:37] is there a difference between cd . and cd .. [00:37] ? [00:37] do* [00:37] ZOk now Im really starting to think that 9.10 has package management issues for sure. Synaptic and Gdebi are both saying I have certain packages installed such as audacious and it doesnt even show in the menu. [00:37] Hi, can anyone help me compile a package? I'm getting an error? If anyone can help PLEASE PM me! [00:37] clahey: pretty sure there was someone else not that long ago, saying their upgrade got stuck [00:37] kankan_ : 512 MB might be a bit slow for KDE, and KDE will take some 754 MB more disk space [00:37] what the performance like (ubuntu 9.10) on core i7 with virtual box? [00:37] jhb1608: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [00:37] jhb1608: Just copy it from /etc/X11 to somewhere else [00:37] jhb1608: open terminal, cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /home// [00:37] clahey: 9.10 is a good one to clean install really, default Ext4 and Grub 2 [00:37] kriel: two systems upgraded fine, one is terribly hosed [00:38] Brova: . is the current directory, .. is it's parent [00:38] how about in my home folder? [00:38] jhb1608: Anywhere you like [00:38] jhb1608: that was your home folder (to where it was going to back it up) [00:38] ok [00:38] making a backup now [00:38] jhb1608, it's OK in the /etx/X11/ too, as xorg.conf.backup [00:38] trism: ok so cd . would just move me to where i already am ? [00:38] can I do both? [00:38] Brova: yes === Sememmonpw is now known as Sememmon [00:38] sebsebseb: I figured it out. I had an nfs server mounted that I couldn't get to, so trying to do PATH lookups was blocking. [00:38] sebsebseb: Now it thinks there are 8 hours remaining because it spend an hour on that one. [00:39] killsoft: I'm expecting this system to rebuild this from scratch, so I may as well try the upgrade to see if it hoses or not. kthx. [00:39] trism: seems relatively pointless to me. but maybe im just neglecting something [00:39] anyone know how to change the port on a dns server in ubuntu (client-side)? [00:39] clahey: (not that long ago as in around 24 hours or so ago) [00:39] Hi, I have a problem with Ubuntu 9.02. I have netboot installed it on a Micros touchscreen epos till. It has an Intel 82810 graphics chip which all apears fine until after I login [00:39] hey can someone look at my image bin its on the last 50 postes [00:39] can I backup in both places? [00:39] the name is mistahjc [00:39] fbnts: 9.04 or 9.10? [00:39] sebsebseb: Hopefully those won't be issues. How would ext4 cause problems? [00:39] jhb1608, anywhere you like :) [00:39] ok [00:39] jhb: yes, just need 'sudo' before the command to go in the /etc [00:39] Guys my GUi just died i cant use my mouse and nothing responds. I tryed alt+ctrl+backspace nothing happens. TTy service gdm stop says its refused [00:40] sebsebseb: Similar for grub2? [00:40] the screen refreshes to where the desktop would be but it all screws up and looks like bad resolution or bad hardware [00:40] sorry 9.04 [00:40] clahey: You won't get Ext4 if you upgrade, unless you already done Ext4 in 9.04 [00:40] and my problem is it wont let me install flash player [00:40] this chatroom is faster than the forum [00:40] I origionally tried 9.10 but it did same thing [00:40] clahey: Grub 2 is for clean installs also [00:40] magmarules, try rebooting in recovery mode and choose to repair xserver [00:40] hello. i have an HP mini (2133) with ubuntu 8.04 (minbuntu).

[00:41] It does not even detect the wi-fi networks [00:41] can anyone help me install flash player 10 on this ubuntu 9.10 [00:41] mistahjc: i just had this EXACT problem you did. and now it works for me [00:41] hi all [00:41] raskolnik: if it fails then Dell may know what they are talking about.. also if you look up the drive specs and that says no. then the drive specs, via google, are correct.

[00:42] bastid_raZor: I can't actually find the drive specs; all I can find are people in various fora saying they've done it [00:42] jorgp: grub2 can boot iso files, but only if they support being loaded from a file.

[00:42] clahey: You might find if you continue with the upgrade, that you do it, it takes a while, and you end up with some right issues. So you might save yourself some time, by downloading the 9.10 CD, md5sum checking it before burning the contents to CD, which is something that should be done really, and installing.

Wouldn't that wipe out everything I have installed and so forth? [00:43] kriel yes [00:43] should I switch to home folder? what is the command? [00:43] And isn't the upgrade cycle one of the points?

[00:43] jhb1608: cd [00:44] thanks in advance [00:44] raskolnik: give me the product info from lshw. [00:44] bastid_raZor: the manufacturer's site doesn't have any specs, and another possible manufacturer doesn't list this specific model [00:44] clahey: ,but apps are easy to re install usaully, well depending on what you have done, and if you have a seperate /home re installs are easier, and even distro hopping [00:44] (I went from Redhat 2.1 to Redhat 5.something through upgrades.

[01:07] jhb1608: try sudo Xorg -configure from http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3107250.0 (might be a HAL issue) [01:07] tonyyarusso: cool, that worked [01:07] oberdada: cat /etc/network/interfaces [01:08] after doing cat /proc/interrupts i get a long list of things, none of which ressemble a wi-fi or usb modem connection [01:08] how do you get Gnome desktop to work on server 9.10? === Xiella_ is now known as Xiella [01:08] wow ubuntu284, I got that error, how do I paste? === rogerm42 is now known as rogerm42_ [01:08] !pastebin | jhb1608 [01:08] jhb1608: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [01:08] Ponuwon, Can't you just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [01:08] oberdada: usb printer? [01:08] Penguin342: Strange. Might be some configuration files. It is not the same on mine. But then I use ftps [01:09] also another thing I noticed, ubuntu doesnt seem to have a wheel group? how are people designated as able to sudo? [01:09] Anyone have a good "policy routing" how-to -- I have a server which sits on 2 CIDR/networks and I want the server to have 2 default routes. I want traffic that came in eth1 to go back out eth1, not eth0, and vice-versa [01:09] trism, i just remark that actually my display is like it was splitted, i have my background image onto my monitor and the xfce logo onto my lcd tv ... btw when i used compiz, i saw that the background image and the xfce logo image seem to form one single image ! [01:09] yeah, I use Filezilla to FTP [01:09] really weird [01:09] does anyone know if ubuntu 9.10 can save sessions still??? like for multiple workspaces/desktops...if i restart my comp it restarts and opens all of the same progs? [01:09] kjele: I use Filezilla to FTP and there is no options to say what the ownership of uploaded files should be (obviously) [01:09] unperson, already tried it but the repositories won't download anything. [01:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/310094/ [01:09] as if the monitor shows the left part image and the lcd tv shows the right one ! [01:09] anyone know how to change the port on a dns entry in ubuntu (client-side)? [01:10] does anyone know if ubuntu 9.10 can save sessions still??? like for multiple workspaces/desktops...if i restart my comp it restarts and opens all of the same progs? [01:10] kuriouz: auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback [01:10] Penguin342: Should be something that is called preserve file permission [01:10] Ponuwon, What do you mean? Like apt-get says the package doesn't exist, or it can't download the package, or what? [01:10] kuriouz: yes, an usb printer [01:10] kjele: in filezilla? [01:10] it says E: cannot find package [01:10] ubuntu284: http://paste.ubuntu.com/310094/ here [01:10] Penguin342: yea [01:10] ubuntu284: DNS answers/works on tcp (or udp) oprt 53 -- there isn't anything to change [01:11] s/oprt/port [01:11] Ponuwon, I see. [01:11] jhb1608: that means that you should write down that command, so in case you don't see anything, you can alt+ctrl+F1 (then alt+ctrl+F7 to get back to GUI) and type that command in after a reboot if no one here as any other suggestions [01:11] aha ok [01:11] kjele: would that work if the file on the client is chowned differently than the www-data:www-data chownership of the place the files are going to? [01:11] Sneex: i need to enter a dns server of a different port [01:11] Ponuwon, well, in that case I'm really not certain. I haven't played with Ubuntu server. [01:11] why doesnt ubuntu recognize my DVD 4.7G disk when I put it in? [01:11] I have both Jaunty and Hardy installed in a dual boot configuration but I installed Jaunty first. How can I get Jaunty's grub menu to include Hardy and to automatically update when Hardy installs new kernels? [01:11] I cant access the internet, please someone help I have been trying to fix this for days! [01:11] bastid_raZor: alright, well, thanks for your help! [01:11] can you paste the command again ubuntu284? [01:11] raskolnik: best of luck. [01:11] in pastebin please [01:11] paissad-hp: I have compiz disabled...are you saying that it is working but one is just an empty desktop? cause that is how twinview works by default [01:11] jhb1608: try sudo Xorg -configure from http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3107250.0 (might be a HAL issue) [01:12] I am on Karmic x64 and flash 10 (even from the adobe website) does not work with me... anyone else experiencing the same problem? whenever I open website that requires flash, firefox (or any browser) just crashes [01:12] TonyTheTiger: Can you describe your problem in more detail please [01:12] unperson, thanx, I'll ask again [01:12] ubuntu284: OK, I understand what you want but I do not think it is possible [01:12] trism, yes, one is an empty desktop [01:12] how do you get Gnome desktop to work on server 9.10? [01:12] Sneex: Ubuntu and not possible in the same sentence? [01:12] Penguin342: If it is a website you mean then the only thing that matters is the other permission, which have to set to read. [01:12] Sneex: what about a ssh port forwarding loop to localhost? [01:13] paissad-hp: if you want panels and stuff you need to create them yourself, I don't know how to do that with xfce...in gnome I think you can just create a new one and drag it, I haven't tried though *goes to try* [01:13] trism, but i want the same desktop everywhre [01:13] and then, ubuntu284? [01:13] why doesnt ubuntu recognize my DVD 4.7G disk when I put it in? [01:13] Sneex: i assume that won't work with UDP though [01:13] With Ubuntu; the versions of software are typically 'frozen' per release correct? Ie .. if i have ubuntu 8.04 and Open Office 2.4, OO 3 will never show up as a n update until I upgrade ot ubuntu 9.04 right? [01:13] kjele: I see no setting in filezilla that will allow me to keep the uid from changing to "FTP" when the upload happens. [01:13] JonathanEllis yes, I have the bcm5751 ethernet and bcm4306 wifi but neither works. no matter what I try it doesnt work, and to make matters worse its a laptop without cd drive so i cant even activate restricted drivers. [01:13] oberdada: are all these things usb? [01:13] jhb1608: i am out of ideas besides that command; stay in here for a little while, i'll research a little longer; it might be a HAL issue with Ubuntu 9.10 [01:13] how do you get Gnome desktop to work on server 9.10? [01:13] trism, even with gnome [01:14] ok [01:14] Hi. After a Suspend the system doesnt wake up and I have to turn off the computer to have it back. Is there a solution? [01:14] ubuntu284: The port forward would likmit the Ubuntu client to that DNS server, why not use nsupdate? [01:14] I have a 5.1 sound card and I would like alsa to output the same stereo sound but from 2 physical outputs, is it possible ? [01:14] Penguin342: I see. But is it that important that it must have www-data? Does it have www-data as it groups? [01:14] anyone else experiencing problems with flash on x64? my experience has been dismal so far :( [01:14] Penguin342: how do you authenticate as, user ftp or your regular user? Do you upload to a specific upload directory only? [01:14] i have been trying to fix this problem for 3 days everyday asking on here, but nobody helps. [01:14] I think so. All var/www files (and subdirectories) have the chown as www-data:www-data [01:14] With Ubuntu; the versions of software are typically 'frozen' per release correct? Ie .. if i have ubuntu 8.04 and Open Office 2.4, OO 3 will never show up as a n update until I upgrade ot ubuntu 9.04 right? [01:14] the printer and the modem is usb. but now, the mini doesnt even detect wi-fi networks [01:15] I have problems in Flash's setting dialog in x32 [01:15] ubuntu284: Of course you can use SSH port forwarding but it would need to be manually setup and taken down if thats OK with you [01:15] that's no usb [01:15] Sneex: not possible; i am bypassing my ISPs bad DNS servers because they blocked port 53 [01:15] zenit: As of now, Im using vsftpd. I am wondering if there is a setting in the vsftpd.conf file that would do this. [01:15] ubuntu284: have you tried OpenDNS ? [01:16] Sneex: they are blocking it with OpenDNS [01:16] TonyTheTiger: Please describe exactly what is not working and write what steps you have already tried. If its too long for one line, please pastebin it and post the link here. Sorry to be pedantic but in order to help you someone will need to see EXACTLY what the problem is and exactly what steps you have taken already to fix it. [01:16] ubuntu284: DNS can work oiver tcp [01:16] over* [01:16] zenit: all Im trying to do is make it so I can transfer to this directory, without having to go in to the server's command line and "chown -R filename" [01:16] Penguin342: it might be, especially if it is a dedicated upload directory as set in the ftp server. Then it might be set to change the ownership to ftp on all uploaded files. [01:16] Sneex: yes, currently TOR is the only DNS server on localhost port 53 [01:16] paissad-hp: yeah I don't think you can do that with twinview, although in gnome you could create two new panels and drag them to the other desktop and then add all the stuff you have on the other display [01:16] jhb1608: adobe flash? [01:16] the onion router :P [01:16] yup [01:16] JonathanEllis I have been trying to fix this for the past week, everyday. I dont think even i can remember what i have done now. [01:16] zenit: what is the ftp server program for it. This server is next to me and it uses gnome [01:16] I am pretty sure that vsftpd has quite strict upload settings by default, haven't played with it for awhile though. [01:17] oberdada: but your cat5e works? Assuming since you said mini .. NetbookRemix 9.10? [01:17] jhb1608: did you install from a *.deb or other extension-ed file? [01:17] It appears that the i810_dri module is crashing my X install [01:17] and the problem is as i said, no network activity wifi or ethernet. [01:17] just dead. [01:17] how do you get Gnome desktop to work on server 9.10? [01:17] no just adobe flash installer [01:17] TonyTheTiger: Unfortunately "internet is broken" is not much to go on. [01:17] Kuriouz: what is cat5e? i'm using ubuntu 8.04 (minbuntu) on that mini [01:17] Penguin342: it is just plain vsftpd, you probably want to read the documentation about it and change some setttings in vsftpd.conf [01:17] JonathanEllis well what more would you like to me to describe/explain? [01:17] jhb1608: try downloading the *.deb from adobe's website and install that with sudo dpkg -i adobe*.deb [01:17] here is the section from the x log file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/310103/ [01:18] zenit: It seems like a simple task, but all I want to do is transfer files from my laptop to the server's /var/www , the files automatically chowning to www-data:www-data [01:18] anyone knows how i can solve a problem related with Suspend mode? [01:18] does anyone know what could be causing this? [01:18] anybody recommend CBT nuggets tutorials ? [01:18] JonathanEllis there is no network activity, at all. [01:18] ok [01:18] ok [01:18] zenit: I did read up on it and it seems to suggest that there is no setting for that if you are ftping non-annonymously [01:18] oberdada: if you plug a ethernet cable in... so it's just wi-fi [01:18] im trying to create a user in mysql, so i typed "mysql --user=root mysql" to log in as root, but got an error message: "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)" [01:18] Penguin342: you can also set the upload directory to be setuid www-data, then created files in it will have the owner set [01:18] Ponuwon, btw, the server FAQ says it uses the same repositories as the desktop edition. So it's very puzzling that it can't find the ubuntu-desktop package (unless they changed the name) [01:18] Ponuwon: typically you dont use a GUI on server. [01:18] TonyTheTiger: Can you pastebin the output of "route -r" "nm-tool" and "sudo dhclient eth0" with ethernet connected? [01:19] jaypro: use Sudo comand [01:19] i've not tried plugging in an ethernet cable. [01:19] TonyTheTiger: Sorry, "route -n" [01:19] TonyTheTiger: Have you checked for physical connectivity first? Do you have ethernet connection lights for example? [01:19] Jordan_U how would i pastebin, the machine cant access internet. [01:19] zenit: how do I do that. I tried "chmod u+s /var/www" but it didnt do it. It worked for the group ID (via "chmod g+s /var/www/") [01:19] jaypro:sudo mysql --user=root mysql [01:19] TonyTheTiger: Save the output to a flash drive [01:19] JonathanEllis yes, its completely dead. [01:19] The_reaper489 yeah i still get that message [01:19] Can someone remind me how I can set GDM so that it doesn't automatically start on boot? (i.e., boot to runlevel 3) [01:19] even with sudo [01:19] anyone here that can help with x64 flash problems? [01:19] did you put in your pass for sudo? [01:20] !boot | unperson [01:20] unperson: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [01:20] The_reaper489> yes i did put in the password when asked [01:20] Jordan_U unfortunatly im not close to my lan and im using someone elses computer and just have my laptop beside me. [01:20] Penguin342: on line 66 in /etc/vsftpd.conf [01:20] jaypro: maybe you dont have admin privlages [01:20] TonyTheTiger: Does networking work from a LiveCD? === Belial is now known as Guest92043 [01:21] Jordan_U: It should [01:21] I'm using 09.10 for i386. does anyone know if you can run either of the xen packages side-by-side with virtualbox? [01:21] kjele: I might need to pull up the original vsftpd.conf file because line 66 has nothing [01:21] The_reaper489 well, first i used "su" to a super user, then "sudo mysql --user=root mysql" and got the error [01:21] hrm. im compiling qt-copy and i get a missing dbus/dbus.h. what package do i need? [01:21] Jordan_U does not have a cd drive, i used a usb install. But live usb did not. [01:21] Penguin342: #chown_uploads=YES [01:21] #chown_username=whoever [01:21] how can I get ubuntu to recognize my ati radeon x 1300 pro pci video card? [01:21] alec_: hai [01:21] jaypro: i see, ill google the error message lol [01:22] haha me too [01:22] under hardware drivers, it says no propreitary drivers installed [01:22] anyone know why jhb1608 can't regenerate his xorg.conf file with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [01:22] and when i tried installing th elinux drivers it sent my linux to command line only [01:22] Penguin342: Obs it was line 63 [01:22] yeah I wonder the same thing [01:22] djustice: libdbus-1-dev [01:22] and when i trried the next time with th fglxr driver [01:22] trism, actually, twinview just extend the desktop .... not share it [01:22] same thing happened [01:22] ubuntu284:The xserver-xorg package no longer provides an xorg.conf [01:22] kjele: but the # will comment it out. Is that right? [01:22] trism, you know what i mean ? [01:22] <`efeX> How can i change the default program used for starting a specific extension [01:23] i have tries ndiswrapper and it says hardware not found and when i tried to activate propiety drivers the ubunut just stays at the downloading and installing phase, i have to hold power to return to normal. [01:23] what jordan? [01:23] ubuntu284: Just remove the xorg.conf [01:23] <`efeX> like make .txt open with x instead of x every time [01:23] trism: thank you!! *hug* [01:23] Jordan_U: I assumed that when HAL was dropped in 9.10, but the newer command is not working either [01:23] paissad-hp: yeah [01:23] jaypro: http://tinyurl.com/yau9zqm [01:23] trism, that mean i was wrong, that's not what i want [01:23] :-( [01:23] :-) [01:23] ubuntu284: What newer command? [01:23] Penguin342: Yes, you need to remove the hash (#) and set a username. The whoever to something you want [01:23] remove the xorg.conf? [01:23] why did the ubuntu developers do that? [01:23] will that remove my gui ? [01:23] paissad-hp: yeah I think you want separate x screens, I've never done that before though [01:23] Sound issue: sound input is not playing back though speakers. I have ran though some test and I can record and hear playback from the "test your system" still do not know how to get this to just play back input though speakers, any ideas? [01:23] ray__: no, just the manual configuration [01:23] jhb1608: Upstream X did that [01:24] How do i change the $root in term? [01:24] The_reaper489> lol [01:24] jhb1608: HAL is propietary, its not completely free and open-sourced [01:24] so i take it my problem has no fix then, linux just isnt ready it seems. [01:24] well then how do I backup xorg? [01:24] trism: wait. nope. i have that one already. and a /usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus.h. qt-copy doesnt see it tho... [01:24] jaypro: found that when i was dumb some one did that to me [01:24] well I am going to have a videocard card soon [01:24] i'll try xrandr [01:24] trism, [01:24] I need to backup before installing the videocard [01:24] TonyTheTiger: what do see when you try sudo dhclient? [01:24] The_reaper489> lol well still reading..... [01:25] but I tried all commands won't work [01:25] Jordan_U: can sudo Xorg -configure work when jhb1608 is in the X11 session (says he needs to leave it first to regen the xorg.conf) [01:25] and thanks on flash ubuntu284 [01:25] hello again folks, I was wondering why flash doesn't go full screen on my 64bit system [01:25] chown_uploads=www-data? Well now my ftp is confused [01:25] jaypro: lol [01:25] yees ubuntu284 [01:25] jhb1608: np, working fine? [01:25] hello [01:25] yes [01:25] so is the ati drivers from ati junk then? [01:25] Kuriouz I see no leases in database, sleeping. [01:26] !hi | randomusr [01:26] jhb1608: Why do you want an Xorg.conf? [01:26] randomusr: 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! [01:26] Does anyone know how to install ubuntu onto an XO laptop?? [01:26] is that why it crashes my distro? [01:26] has anyone here loaded DR17 on 9.4? [01:26] I won't do anything until I have the xorg.conf file appear in my file directory then I will do the textm ode [01:26] or rather e17 [01:26] jordan, because I am going to install a videocard [01:26] Jordan_U: a sudo find / -name xorg.conf returns nothing and a cd to /etc/X11 shows no xorg.conf (a reboot will leave him crippled with GUI) [01:26] jhb1608: Are you logging in as root to run the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command? I know you are typing sudo but boot into recovery then log in as root [01:26] TonyTheTiger: sudo ifconfig [01:26] It did like chown_uploads=yes [01:26] !e17 [01:26] can anyone here help me with a virtual box on ubuntu problem? [01:26] Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version. [01:27] jhb1608: You don't need an xorg.conf [01:27] ah good point epinky [01:27] does linux support any Brodcom wireless stuff...?? [01:27] I installed windows xp on my virtual box [01:27] Jordan_U: what is the file he needs to backup with the configurations? [01:27] join #bglug [01:27] and enabled sound with the defauklt alsa one [01:27] Kuriouz btw i have gone through this routine with other users on here when i was connected to the lan. [01:27] !wireless [01:27] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:27] and still no sound [01:27] The_reaper489: having troubles? [01:27] ubuntu284: There is none, configuration is done at boot [01:27] randomusr: yea === speculater_away is now known as speculater [01:27] ubuntu284: I am not even sure this syntax will work, but you can try: ssh -2 -4 -N -T -R remotehost:5353:localhost:53 substitute 5353 for the remote dns port [01:27] The_reaper489: like? [01:27] Nope....chown_uploads=yes doesnt solve the problem. UID is still getting set to "ftp" [01:28] Kuriouz for ifconfig i see eth0, eth0avahi, lo, wlan0 and wlan0avahi [01:28] randomusr: it wont even register that i have a brodcom wireless card in the system [01:28] TonyTheTiger: so you're not getting an ip? [01:28] jordan, well, if a nvidia video package wants to modify xorg.conf? I have to make a backup [01:28] Kuriouz only avahi, lo have inet and ips [01:28] Sneex: i am going to open a bug on that on the ubuntuforums website and add that suggestion there for others also (nothing on the internet how to fix the problem) [01:28] The_Reaper489, what version of ubuntu? [01:29] randomusr: 9.04 [01:29] jhb1608: The "backup" is no xorg.conf, that's what is working now and that is what will work again after you remove the nvidia drivers and card [01:29] hey all! how can i configure a automatic shutdown timer in ubuntu [01:29] TonyTheTiger: hooking up to a router or directly to cable modem? [01:29] The_reaper489 i too have broadcom, its such a nightmare, i cant connect to anything wifi or wired. [01:29] SirStan, I prefer using GUI on a server. It's just a gateway server. [01:29] jhb1608: By the way, you should use System > Administration > Hardware Drivers to install your nvida drivers [01:29] The_Reaper489, what is the marketing name of the broadcom card? [01:29] I know Jordan.... [01:29] TonyTheTiger: yea i know how you feel. [01:29] Kuriouz right now, im not hooked to anything but i did this all before when connected and the result is the same. [01:29] ihcus: Try googling cron or possibly chron (not sure about the spelling [01:29] I just say in case [01:30] !cron [01:30] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts.

[01:30] jordan, I know, just in case.... [01:30] kjele: Well, that was worth a shot. I believe I tried this before. UID is still "ftp" [01:30] randomusr: 32X4560 brodcom wireless [01:30] jhb1608: since its generated upon boot, you might not be able to backup more than a temporary file [01:30] !cron |ihcus [01:30] ihcus: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts.

[01:31] !privatemessage |ihcus [01:31] incluye, run it maybe? [01:31] ihcus: please see above [01:31] Yeah...how? [01:32] well let me guess... reinstall ubuntu again? [01:32] incluye, what's it associated with? [01:32] if something happens to my videocard? [01:32] Kuriouz i have, i downloaded a driver and installed but it doesnt work, lan doesnt work either. i even installed the ndiswrapper and that doesnt do it either. [01:32] im just going mad here. [01:32] It's an ATI driver installer. [01:32] ihcus: No I cant give you an example. I havent done it myself but if I wanted to do it I would start by looking at that link ubottu sent you [01:32] jhb1608: I never said that, I said if anything goes wrong remove the ncidia-glx package and delete your xorg.conf [01:32] incluye, have you tried following ATI's documentation? [01:32] Penguin342: I am setting my own server now. Using Local host [01:33] Ehh, I'm still downloading the file. [01:33] ah, yes [01:33] dude, I don't have xorg.conf file. [01:33] I was only asking because I couldn't run it last time I tried. [01:33] Four installs ago. [01:33] since I showed ubuntu284 the proof [01:33] TonyTheTiger: and there was nothing in dmesg? [01:33] jhb1608: Installing the nvidia drivers will create one [01:33] So I'll just ask back when it's done downloading. [01:33] Kuriouz apparantly with 9.10 (what i have) propietry drivers are part of the cd and i can activate them, but when i try it just hangs on the downloading stage. Im really lost. [01:33] ah! [01:33] Now I understand [01:33] is there a way to install Server 9.10 with gnome as default instead of getting the terminal? [01:33] kjele: in my case, the server is a different machine. Im out of ideas. Everything I FTP to the servers www directory is ftp:www-data [01:33] sebsebseb,furuno:are you there? [01:33] @johathan ..oooops sorry to have sent you a private message ..i didnt know that it was rude to send you ...sorrry again ..and hey i didnt understand there is any link above ... [01:33] jhb1608: Because it needs to specify the nvidia driver [01:33] incluye, Read the manual, then ask questions. this can help you much more. [01:33] I understand now. [01:33] Kuriouz dmesg? [01:34] kankan_: for now, not that much longer though [01:34] !cron |ihcus [01:34] ihcus: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [01:34] Penguin342: It is anonymous you use to login? [01:34] how do i add a repo in cli? i know how with other distros but ubuntu has me stumped, [01:34] will it detect the specific drivers and install the correct one? [01:34] kjele: No. I have a username and password [01:34] Hi, everyone. I'm on Karmic and I'm having a problem with my bluetooth Wacom tablet -- It is listed and recognized as a device, but only clicking works (no cursor movement) and even then, it's only sometimes. What's wrong? [01:34] Penguin342: Is the usename ftp? [01:34] SeaPhor: /etc/apt/sources.list [01:34] Ok, peace people :) [01:34] kjele: no, the username is something else [01:35] TonyTheTiger: dmesg will output system messages .. so when you try to do something and something isn't working it's a good place to look .. gnu/linux is nothing if not verbose .. :-) [01:35] kjele: and I did on a whim, try to log in using www-data as the username instead. Couldnt connect at all that way, but I figured [01:35] hkittysmoothie, I believe that is a kernel bug [01:35] ihcus: I dont find it particularly rude but someone else may know the answer better. Also if I am busy with you in a private message session I will probably miss the answer to my problem. [01:35] sebsebseb:i have downloade kubuntu-desktop.now its giving me a message og configuring kdm and choose one xserver.what should i choose kdm or gdm? [01:35] randomusr: alright, so what do I do about it? [01:35] Kuriouz im a beginner :( [01:36] trism, there's not a "aptitude ar xxxxxx"? just edit a file? [01:36] Jordan_U: will it detect the specific correct nvidia driver? [01:36] kankan_: well I don't like the new GDM 2 in Karmic, so I would do KDM [01:36] TonyTheTiger: we all are ... :-) [01:36] kankan_: that's the log in screen [01:36] SeaPhor: yes, edit the file then sudo apt-get update [01:36] kankan_: it's asking you which to use [01:36] Penguin342: Did you have to restart the sever when you change configucation files? [01:36] Kuriouz yeah. [01:36] hkittysmoothie, I'm not sure if it's fixed or if a work-around exists. I would start by looking at the changelog for the kernel at kernel.org [01:36] sebsebseb:yes. [01:36] ok,,, Thanks trism [01:36] :) [01:36] jhb1608: Yes, only one version can be installed at a time and Hardware Drivers chooses the right one [01:36] kankan_: as for xserver uhmm what does it say exactly? [01:37] kjele: whenever I change the vsftpd conf file, I do restart vsftpd [01:37] randomusr: alright, thanks [01:37] sebsebseb:if i choose gdm or kdm,can i change it later? [01:37] Linux really sucks man, its nothing but a toy for people who just hate windows, but at least windows works and allows you to get on with things. === _lifi is now known as lifi [01:37] kankan_: yes [01:37] ok making sure, I don't want the kernel panic or anything that happens when it detects the wrong one, Jordan_U [01:37] TonyTheTiger: are you related to Bill ? [01:37] default display driver:kdm or gdm [01:37] TonyTheTiger: sorry to hear you are having bad luck [01:37] How do you mount a FTP drive in ubuntu? [01:37] TonyTheTiger: I disagree on that part ... i like the control .. [01:37] randomusr no, just a normal user who wants to get on with work. [01:38] sebsebseb:how can i change it later ,choose between kdm or gdm? [01:38] TonyTheTiger: Im afraid you are unlikely to inspire people to help you if you flame. Some of us find linux enables us to do things we couldnt do with windows. [01:38] thegreyspot: Places --> Connect to Server --> FTP [01:38] thegreyspot, Is the FTP server local? [01:38] TonyTheTiger: whaat cant u do that u were doing in windows? [01:38] TonyTheTiger: you can get on with work faster and safer with linux [01:38] TonyTheTiger: i have Dell mini 9 and install Ubuntu Netbook Remix .. worked withtout a problem ... [01:38] kankan_: if you remove one of them and re install, it will ask again which to use, there is probably a better way though to change which one it's using [01:38] JonathanEllis well its not like i was being swamped with help in the first place. [01:38] TonyTheTiger, I've found that linux is a great alternative for me. Plus I like that it rarely breaks on it's own [01:38] TonyTheTiger: im new to linux too (1month), u just might be frustrated cause its new to you [01:39] TonyTheTiger: To be honest, despite that Im aggravated with my ftp ownership issue, I still find that *nix, while aggravating at times, stilll lets me be free. [01:39] Penguin342: When I login I get to my home folder [01:39] randomusr i have never used linux where i didnt spend days if not months to fix it [01:39] TonyTheTiger, what are you trying to do that's not working? [01:39] @jonathan ...you are a good guy! thanks for your help again ...can you please tell me the command for shutdown ...is it the command "shutdown"? [01:39] Penguin342: And ofcourse everything I uploaded is my username [01:39] kjele: Yeah, I set vsftpd to have the directory be /var/www [01:39] TonyTheTiger: u seem like you wanna keep on whining without telling us what the problem is [01:40] hi guys, I found many other guys with sound issue while upgrading from jaunty to karmic with intel cards but I haven't found the solution [01:40] Dasda i have been using linux for more than a year. trust me, it doesnt get better. [01:40] ihcus: sudo shutdown will exit ubuntu while sudo poweroff will poweroff the machine [01:40] TonyTheTiger; Days and months fixing linux = user error. No offense [01:40] can you link me the solution? [01:40] the problem is alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory [01:40] TonyTheTiger: way too many viruses out there that attack Windows im done with Windows for good [01:40] TonyTheTiger: what can't you do that u can on windows? [01:40] ask in here [01:40] !offtopic [01:40] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:40] im sure people will help you [01:40] TonyTheTiger: just take the time to learn Linux you'll like it [01:40] I like ubuntu anyways [01:40] i can for 1 connect with ethernet cable and get onto the internet. [01:40] any ideas on how to input a dns server with a non-port 53? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8245174#post8245174 [01:41] i can wifi [01:41] none seems to work with ubuntu. [01:41] TonyTheTiger, 9.10 is a failure for some people. Use 9.04 if 9.10 is giving you grief. (I have to). And Wait till 10.04 lts comes out. [01:41] TonyTheTiger: We are all users here. None of us is getting paid to help. Most of us came in here to get help with our own issues. If we dont know the answer to your problem thats unfortunate but we are all doing the best we can. Help in irc is on a voluntary basis. There are paid support options available just like with microsoft. If you ask for help in ##windows you also have to state your problem in a precise way and if noone in the channel knows h [01:41] I'm having trouble accessing a Windows share. [01:41] TonyTheTiger: Version of linux and the name of your wireless card? [01:41] !wifi | TonyTheTiger [01:41] TonyTheTiger: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:41] OzFalcon: What were your issues with 9.10? [01:41] @ jonathan ...hey how do i exit a crontab command... it opened a line for editing on the terminal ... [01:41] TonyTheTiger: I apologise to you for everyone who is denying the reality of your problem but this isn't a place to vent, it's for support. [01:41] OzFalcon: Also were they with a clean install? [01:41] TonyTheTiger: wifi is still sketchy, but it is getting better (Karmic is the first release where my wireless card finally worked automatically after I installed, no ndiswrapper) [01:42] my internet worked fine on install including wifi [01:42] i dont even care for wifi, but ethernet should work bare minimum [01:42] TonyTheTiger: I myself am finding 9.10 doesnt work for me so I am going back to 8.04 as I have an old PC. For what its worth 8.04 installed with no problems whatsoever for me. [01:42] Penguin342: What if you redirect to ~/www ? [01:42] Penguin342: one of solving this, which I know works is by using groups. Set the directory to be setgid, chmod 2775 /var/www. Create a group of webusers, and make sure that www-data and the users you want to give access are members of this group. Uploaded files will then still have their original owner, but the group will be set to the one you specify. [01:42] TonyTheTiger, if you want help, just ask me [01:42] i have 9.10 and it doesnt work and i was on 9.04 before and the situation was the same. [01:42] sebsebseb:i have selected gdm. [01:42] my wifi got installed automatically on linux, on windows i always had to go get the drivers for my laptop built in card [01:42] TonyTheTiger: how about 8.10? support runs out when 10.04 comes out or around then I think on the desktop [01:42] TonyTheTiger, Name of your wireless card or NIC? [01:43] zenit: and if I did it this way, when I ls -al the www directory, would uploaded files go to www-data:www-data? [01:43] Dasda: you can try a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart or install another network manager, such as sudo apt-get install wicd [01:43] broadcom 5751 ethernet, broadcom bcm4306 wifi [01:43] ihcus: Sorry I have never used cron so Im sorry I cant help. The limit of my knowledge was getting ubottu to pointin you to the link [01:43] how do you restart pulseaudio [01:43] TonyTheTiger: oh wrong one [01:43] ubuntu284: myne works fine lol. I was trying to tell TonyTheTiger [01:43] JonathanEllis: see above that was for you [01:43] TonyTheTiger, what are their commercial names? [01:43] Penguin342: no, they will keep their original owner but the group will be set to the group that owns the directory. [01:43] ihcus: Sorry I have never used cron so I dont know. The limit of my knowledge was getting ubottu to point you in the right direction. [01:44] randomusr commercial names? [01:44] Im a bit new to ubuntu, I need to add "auto" to my fstab for my cdrom and I try to bring it up in gedit, it comes up as read only even when I am privileged. ANy way to get it to let me manually ediot the fstab? [01:44] sebsebseb, Clean install. Old system. (Bios sees 500gb as 136gb). Grub2 Failure. (Workaround with ext2 /boot) Video card issues. Banshee refused to play videos. xine Crashing when switching window/fullscreen. Under xubuntu - Change screen res disables login. They are the main issues. [01:44] oh boy [01:44] any progress on the EXT4 data loss bug? [01:44] zenit: Yeah, that might not work. I think some of the cms tools rely on files being www-data:www-data [01:44] djzn, negative [01:44] sebsebseb: You mean from ihcus? [01:44] anyone else having trouble on the dell inspirion mini 10 with UNR 9.10? [01:44] Okay, it works now. [01:44] JonathanEllis: no when I messaged TonyTheTiger [01:44] randomusr: I just made my box today, but I am seriously thinking about redoing with ext3 [01:44] Penguin342: No, as long as the group is given the correct rights it does not matter [01:44] "This driver is activated but not currently in use." [01:44] has anybody else had gdm become unable to start X after recent updates (9.04)? [01:44] appears to be hosed on two of my systems [01:44] How do I use it? [01:44] Restart? [01:45] how to install all the codecs? [01:45] You see, im trying to add my [01:45] Penguin342: as long as www-data is a member of this group [01:45] whats a command to reinstall firefox 3.5 ? [01:45] djzn, I would Agree. I didn't bother to upgrade [01:45] kankan_: ok well that's what you had before [01:45] i havent had a chane to test xdm yet [01:45] but startx works fine [01:45] kankan_: gdm is the default for Ubuntu [01:45] randomusr: how come the Fedora guys did not have this [01:45] kankan_: kubuntu gets kdm by default instead [01:45] I havn't encountered the ext4 bug. And was moving 95gb of mp3's and 40gb of 700-1.4gb files around. (On an OLD 933mhz machine) [01:45] djzn, um, ask them? [01:45] You see im trying to stream my music from an ftp server using banshee and mounting the drive. Do you have any ideas on how i can do that? [01:45] whoever said go to 8.10, whats to say that doesnt have the same problem? usually newer versions improve not mess up. [01:45] Penguin342: however, I would still look into it a bit more if vsftpd can change the ownership on uploaded files, but it seems as you have looked into it already. [01:45] TonyTheTiger, but you can ping the router via ethernet when set static IP, did you try what we sugested and use that same connection on a windows box to look at the network setup? [01:46] the EXT4 data loss bug really upset me [01:46] zenit: Yeah. I have. Its been driving me crazy [01:46] zenit: It can only change if the uploader is anonymous [01:46] TonyTheTiger: that was a mistake I meant to message the one that said they would go back to 8.04 [01:46] kjele: exactly [01:46] TonyTheTiger, what motherboard are you using, and what wifi card do you have? [01:46] SeaPhor yes, it works with windows :( [01:46] like from which vendors? [01:46] so if i chmod 2775 /var/www do I need to do it recursively (-R) since I might write to subfolders under var/www [01:46] where do i find scroll functionality to the mouse? [01:46] settings [01:46] please [01:47] ext4 bug WAS HIT when creating an external HD ext4 partition. Going into RO mode. Journal errors. The Works. [01:47] TonyTheTiger: I am not sure what the problem with your ethernet is, but for your wireless you need the firmware for your card [01:47] join #vsftpd [01:47] randomusr I dont know what motherboard but the wifi is broadcom bcm4306 and the ethernet adapter is bcm5751 [01:47] sebsebseb: You mean 8.10? Cant get that to work on my old Dell either. 8.04 was the last release that worked first time for me and I still love it. Just experimenting with newer releases. When I have time in the next weeks I will try to report the bug that is killing my graphics in all later releases. [01:47] ext4 HIT on 9.04 system. NOT 9.10. [01:47] TonyTheTiger, did you take down all the network info?? that was the point, your wired NIC is working, you dont have it setup correctly [01:47] Jordan_U i have installed many a drivers to see, nothing works. [01:47] MaxJizzy: System --> Preferences --> Mouse --> Touchpad tab (last tab) [01:47] TonyTheTiger, hold please [01:47] OzFalcon: I haven't clean installed the final yet, but I have been testing since alpha 4, and oh the amount of Ext4 issues. wanting to chkdsk everytime this install boots up and such [01:47] TonyTheTiger: Have you tired b43-fwcutter ? [01:47] OzFalcon: the EXT4 massive data loss bug is serious... I am worried.... [01:48] Jordan_U yes. [01:48] OzFalcon: fixing journals as well yep [01:48] any ideas on how to input a dns server with a non-port 53? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8245174#post8245174 [01:48] TonyTheTiger: Do you have a wlan0 interface / did you after using fwcutter? [01:48] Ubuntu doesnt seem to bring a open window to the front always. Like if i open terminal i have to click on it first before i can type in it. Is that normal? === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [01:48] do I *need* pulseaudio? I just solved about half a dozen major annoyances with video and sound apps by killing my pulseaudio processes [01:48] Yeah. DONT use ext4 on 9.04 systems for sure. But I havn't had any ext4 issues on a 9.10 system. But 9.10 had other issues. [01:49] djzn: as far as I know that bug is not in 9.04's optional Ext4 support, but that's not perfectly stable since the kernel they have and such [01:49] TonyTheTiger, is this a desktop or laptop? [01:49] OzFalcon: Ext4 is the default for clean installs for 9.10 [01:49] Jordan_U honestly i dont know if i have the cutter working though. I know i did install it, but right now the loaded driver is ndiswrapper. according lshw [01:49] randomusr its a laptop without cd drive. [01:49] i have WAITED this long to get EXT4, but I see that it's still not mature enough as EXT3..... [01:49] sebsebseb, Yeah. I didn't have any issues with ext4 on a clean 9.10 install. [01:50] How do I redirect the output of a command, in terminal, to my printer. > lpr doesn't seem to do anything. [01:50] another thing is... EXT3, and EXT4... are they visually noticeable in performance? [01:50] TonyTheTiger, what model is it? [01:50] OzFalcon: ,but the notes said about a bug, when writing to a file that is over 512MB or something and then it maybe getting currupted for a clean install [01:50] TonyTheTiger: Well the b43-fwcutter package will only work if you are connected to the internet when you install it ( it's a legal problem, it can't legally be done any other way unfortunately ) [01:50] latitude d410 [01:50] Penguin342: you probably want to seg the segid bit on directories only, find /var/www -type d | xargs g+s or something like that. Make sure that the you restart apache and those services that you make member of this group though. [01:50] !notes | OzFalcon djzn [01:50] OzFalcon djzn: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [01:50] nas [01:50] xd [01:50] login and logout if this is for your own user, etc. [01:50] Jordan_U that might explain why it did nothing after install, and also why when i tried to activate propietry drivers it kept freezing [01:51] I have hundreds of 512+MB Files... I have CD images! [01:51] sebsebseb, Yes. I read the notes. It was a test install (All data safe on the network). But "I" didn't have any issues. I was probably lucky. [01:51] zenit: and how do I alter the uids into groups using gnome? User Settings only lets me connect machine logins to a group, but not uid's to a group [01:51] TonyTheTiger, does the wireless card detach from the laptop? [01:51] Is there any way to automatically connect to a windows share upon login without using sudo? [01:51] djzn: well some people apparnatlly have had what I said or whatever the notes were saying [01:52] TonyTheTiger: I can give you a copy of the firmware iteself that you can put into /lib/firmware [01:52] sebsebseb, Infact. I initally installed with ext3. Because I was suspect. But then tested clean with ext4 as well. [01:52] randomusr im not sure, i dont think it can. [01:52] Penguin342: I have no idea, I do not use gnome. You can add a user to a group by using: adduser [01:52] a major bug like this featuring the RELEASE NOTES is a show stopper for sure [01:52] OzFalcon: djzn XFS gets the proper Ext4 advantages also apparnatlly. fast boot up and such [01:52] TonyTheTiger: Do you know what revision of bcm4306 your card is ( 1, 2, or 3 ) ? [01:53] i would like to know if i really need to add a new display AND a new device AND a new screen to xorg.conf in order to have the same display ontot my monitor and lcd tv screen [01:53] http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/howto/Set+Up+Dual+Monitors+-+xorg.conf [01:53] as show above [01:53] shown* [01:53] sebsebseb:i have installed gstreamer bad and ugly.should iinstall good packages also? [01:53] Jordan_U its rev 03 [01:53] sebsebseb, Yes and there is another....... [01:53] kankan_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras that should take care of MP3's, AVI, Flash, Java, and some other things [01:54] sebsebseb:what should be the command to install all the gstreamer codecs? [01:54] zenit: I just added ftp to group www-data [01:54] kankan_: the one I just gave will sort out gstreamer for you [01:54] Jordan_U what do you mean you can give me the firmware, how would i get it to work without internet? [01:54] TonyTheTiger: Ok, then unpack this to /lib/firmware http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43karmic.tar [01:54] does anybody know about these gdm problems? it appears to be the same thing that caused the distribution upgrade to fail [01:54] sebsebseb, I noticed installing ubuntu-restricted-extras then wanted to remove DeVeDe...... [01:54] Anyoy. [01:54] OzFalcon: what's that? [01:54] can anyone here FIGURE out what kind of codec some internet video needs to be feeded - given the URL ? [01:55] OzFalcon: when I do the final I am going to test a bit with Ext3 first then do Ext4 for a proper install [01:55] TonyTheTiger: The reason that the package needs to download from the internet is that it's technically not legal for anyone but broadcom to distribute the firmware, and they only distribute it within their windows drive, hence the "cutter". I am cheating :) [01:55] sebsebseb, Yeah. Best to be safe. Infact I would keep an external HD backup of all your stuff in ext3. [01:56] right, so there is no way i can have it already... [01:56] how do I find the name of my usb laser printer so that I can redirect output to it? [01:56] sebsebseb:thanks for all your help. [01:56] I think is wise to make A EXT3 partition and then move onto ext4 in Lucid Lynx [01:57] I am playing with ubuntu 9.10 and would like to install the newest kubuntu, how can I do this? Thanks. [01:57] djzn: Is ext4 that unstable then? [01:57] OzFalcon: Ubuntu has been getting better in some ways and worse in others, and things I know and care about, if it continues like this with 10.04 as well, I will seriously start considering about which distro to put on instead onto my hard disk and to use. [01:57] Bookman: lsusb ? [01:57] OzFalcon: since 8.04 I was going to put [01:57] I consider 9.10 to be beta. (As it acutaly is). If it's broke use previous. [01:57] macisp2000: do you already have another os installed on your computer? [01:57] hey. Can anyone tell me how I'd hook up my Windows partition's C:\ drive into Wine on my Ubuntu partition? [01:57] nope [01:57] TonyTheTiger, if you lspci, does it see your nic? [01:57] OzFalcon: and considering I meant to put thinking [01:57] don't know.... if that is stable.. but to FEATURE as a major bug on release notes kinds of worries me [01:58] OzFalcon: no I didn't nevermind [01:58] macisp2000: sorry .. you have just ubuntu installed? [01:58] isn't there some sort of apt-get command or something? [01:58] randomusr thats what i used to identify that they are broadcom [01:58] just ubuntu installed [01:58] macisp2000: yes.. sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [01:58] sebsebseb, You should try Fedora. I run it on another lappy. It's actualy much better pollished. Just installing the "restricted" stuff isn't as point and click like Ubu. [01:58] JonathanEllis: I guess Ext4 is still a little dodgy, even though now it is the default for clean 9.10 installs [01:58] do I need to add a repository or something first? [01:59] TonyTheTiger, this may help with the wired card 5751 [01:59] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=984675 [01:59] sebsebseb, And Fedora 12 is out soon. [01:59] OzFalcon: I started with Fedora Core 2 and 4 and no net, in 2004 and 5. since silly wireless device. I was actsaully going to switch to Fedora 11 from 9.04, but it woudn't like my partition set up. [01:59] That's geared toward 8.10 but I think it will be usefaul [01:59] OzFalcon: the installer gave me an error said it was probably a bug, and to report it [01:59] Jordan_U i already have a b43 folder in /lib/firmware :s [01:59] sebsebseb, for 12? [01:59] OzFalcon: when I did a custom set up, and we are off topic now [01:59] !torrents [01:59] 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). [01:59] for 11 [01:59] epinky: nothing useful there to use in redirection. Like command > lpr -P xxxxxx [01:59] sebsebseb, yes. ;-) [02:00] hey [02:00] I need to recover all my data and i cant acces to my ubuntu [02:00] randomusr i have already looked at that thread and followed the instructions. [02:01] hey. Can anyone tell me how I'd hook up my Windows partition's C:\ drive into Wine on my Ubuntu partition? [02:01] TonyTheTiger, what happened at the end? Do you have multiple software trying to access the card? [02:01] ugh. i installed the new ubuntu.. [02:01] and sound is muted [02:02] randomusr i have tried so many fix's and neither properly installed (i am a beginner) so its very likely that may be an issue. [02:02] tapas: so? unmute it then [02:02] and alsamixer reports that there's no ctl device.. [02:02] HowardtheDuck: did you try googling for an answer to your question ? [02:02] which is a pity, since it worked great in the previous ubuntu release [02:02] TonyTheTiger, shaking my head [02:02] my network manage just permenantly says disconnected for both wired and wireless. [02:02] Hi, got a couple questions. One, is it ok (on my netbook) to have a swap partition on a SSD? Or will it not cause that much wear and tear on the drive? [02:02] i suspect that maybe pulseaudio does some weird things [02:02] Does anyone know how to disable auto audio-review when mouse cursor is on a music file? [02:03] how can i tell my gnome session to not start it? [02:03] TonyTheTiger, do you have access to a router with no internet connection? [02:03] tapas, pulseaudio was in 9.04 [02:03] seriously [02:03] TonyTheTiger, Are you having Broadcom wifi issues? [02:03] Ashfire908: and it seems to be in 9.10, too [02:03] OzFalcon yes. [02:03] TonyTheTiger: The drivers that come with Ubuntu ( that require the firmware ) might not work while ndiswrapper is installed [02:03] Ashfire908: at least ps aux | grep pulse reports some pulseaudio processes [02:04] Have you tried the Linux drivers from the Broadcom site. It resolved issued with my install. [02:04] randomusr not right now, because i am at someone elses house using there computer. [02:04] it's unkillable btw.. even with -9 [02:04] TonyTheTiger, http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php [02:04] OzFalcon yes i have tried the broadcom site, and i did install there drivers. [02:04] Does anyone have a couple minutes to help troubleshoot a wireless problem on 9.04? [02:04] TonyTheTiger, What Machine is it? [02:04] OzFalcon; Bravo sir [02:04] seems to get restarted immediately [02:04] tapas, are they zombie processes? [02:05] good evening, #ubuntu [02:05] randomusr, Yeah. I only just picked up the thread. [02:05] netzero: go ahead and ask, someone here might know right away the problem [02:05] OzFalcon; that was brilliant however [02:05] Ashfire908: nope.. [02:05] did anyone install 9.10 on a system with intel gma950 chipset? [02:05] hmm, apt-get remove pulseaudio might work [02:05] I bookmarked the page [02:05] wolfo: or night or morning or whatever depending on time zone [02:06] randomusr i know i may seem stupid and lazy, but i honestly have been trying to fix this for 3 days straight and i have tried pretty much anything mention via google search's. [02:06] If it's something like a HP2133. Then There may be some other issues with Broadcom wifi. (Black magic stuff) [02:06] tapas, and I have to ask, don't be offended, are you speakers on, turned up high enough, and unmuted and high enough in Ubuntu? [02:06] Ashfire908: yes, i double checked that [02:06] sebsebseb: true [02:06] OzFalcon its a dell latitude D410 [02:06] TonyTheTiger - see OzFalcon's post with a link to the proper driver [02:06] Ashfire908: the soundcard is reported properly in /proc/asound/cards [02:06] Fair enough. On a fresh install on an HP laptop (not mine so I don't know the specific model) I can see the wireless strength indicator but it's not showing any available networks, despite the fact that I'm using an iPhone on one [02:06] TonyTheTiger, What CPU and chipset does it use? [02:06] tapas, but when you play sound...? [02:06] i can't play an mp4 file can someone help? [02:07] wolfo: whatever can be replaced by afternoon in the above [02:07] netzero: i take it its an atheros card if its HP (used to use orinoco)? [02:07] iwconfig shows wlan0 so I'm noobishly assuming that it's recognizing the wireless correctly [02:07] Ashfire908: nothing is to be heard.. [02:07] anyone tried installing 9.10 in virtualbox? mine just sits there doing nothing after i selected Install [02:07] also I was playing with cairo dock and deleted the panel at the bottom of the screen, how to I get it back on gnome? [02:07] randomusr which thread, he posted a link to the broadcom site. [02:07] TonyTheTiger: I am pretty sure adding the firmware in /lib/firmare will fix your wireless, as long as nothing else you have already tried gets in the way [02:07] iarp: in virtualbox hmm sounds like a good idea really, depending on what host OS you got [02:07] because i just get a black screen. if i safe boot (and it doesn't hang up) i can log in to a terminal, but i have no idea what to do there [02:07] Is it ok to have a swap partiton on flash memory (SSD) or will that cause too much wear and tear on the drive? [02:07] ubuntu284: To be honest I haven't gotten very far in troubleshooting, literally just hooked it up to a cable to download updates [02:08] TonyTheTiger - whatever, load that driver [02:08] When I use Desktop Cube and drag a window to the edge of the screen, my screen gets uber distorted and starts flickering. [02:08] TonyTheTiger, Ok this may sound wierd............ [02:08] Jordan_U I did that but there was already a folder called b43 there. [02:08] sebsebseb: xp pro, it's currently just sticking at the ubuntu logo [02:08] netzero: try a new network manager, such as wicd, have you tried that yet? === Bananabuger is now known as Bananaburger [02:08] TonyTheTiger, Does it still have windows on it? [02:08] iarp: uh with Windows as host, it should be the other way round really :) [02:08] Ashfire908: That sounds dangerous. Why do you want to do that, may I ask? [02:08] ok, it seems, it's alsa;s fault [02:08] HAHAHA [02:08] OzFalcon no, unfortunatly. [02:08] randomusr: At what, what I put? [02:08] now that pulseaudio is gone, alsa apps complain about no device.. [02:08] netzero: http://wicd.sf.net [02:09] sebsebseb, no [02:09] plead the 5th [02:09] please help...i upgraded and now my cpu is at 100% without me running anything, and it sounds like it's about to take off and fly away...can't find a process using ANY cpu...please help!!!! [02:09] sebsebseb: what do you mean the otherway? [02:09] ubuntu284: Thanks for the tip, as soon as it's finished downloading all these updates I'll give that a shot and see if anything changes [02:09] question: after a fresh install of karmic sound works perfect but once i reboot sound no longer works at all. Alsamixer displays alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory. Im running and intel hd audio card [02:09] did anyone successfully install 9.10 on a hp mini? [02:09] JonathanEllis, dangerous the way i said it or you saying swap on falsh is a bad idea? And btw, it's the installer default (using netbook remix). [02:09] TonyTheTiger: Try from a LiveCD so that it's a known configuration, you will need to unload and reload the "b43" module after you add the firmware directory [02:10] I did [02:10] iarp: well to some extent it depends on your hardware and if you want to do for example 3D gaming or not, but having Windows inside Ubuntu is usauly a rather good idea, for those people who want to run Windows programs that they can't get working properly in Wine or commercial versions of it [02:10] JonathanEllis, s/falsh/flash [02:10] hi folks...firstly i am brand new to ubuntu and linux but so far i am very impressed...i do need some help however getting my soundcard to work...it's an xfi which is recognised but no sound. i have been through pages of info but no avail - does antone know how to fix ? [02:10] iarp: plus if a virtual machine for example gets infected with a virus, you can just throw it away, and re install or use a clean copy of it [02:10] iarp: for testing Ubuntu though if your doing it with Windows as host, that's ok really [02:10] DGTED: i only get either a black screen or a command line (in safe boot) [02:10] Jordan_U ok, ill try that however. I have to say i cant use live cd as i dont have a cd drive in the laptop. [02:11] did it work out of the box for you? [02:11] tapas, well, pulseaudio is just the sound server, it doesn't actually talk to the hardware. [02:11] TonyTheTiger, Ok. This is what happened to me. My HP2133 would go NUTS when I tried to use wifi under linux. I also had trashed the HD. Only linux there. Anyway I was sure the machine had a Hardware issue (Ran super hot). But wanted a warranty fix. I ordered a HP2133 Windows vista install CD. Installed Windows. everything WORKED again. Me being curious - reinstalled linux and the Broadcom linux drivers. And It's worked sinc [02:11] e. [02:11] sebsebseb: i've used virtualbox for a ton of things, my main machine runs xp pro, and i wanted to see what the hells wrong with 9.10. I've had friends try running certain commands that worked in 9.04 and dont anymore in 9.10 [02:11] Ashfire908: I thought for a moment you wanted to put swap on a usb stick or something similar. Silly me. As far as I know flash drives have no moving parts so I am not sure why it would put wear and tear on the drive. How big is the drive? Can you afford to lose part of it to swap? How big is the RAM on that machine? [02:11] Jordan_U, I believe his issue may be with network-manager. What do you think? [02:11] Ashfire908: yeah, and since it's gone now, it shouldn't interfere anymore [02:11] iarp: ah ha I see [02:11] Does anyone know of an Espresso-like or Coda-like app for Ubuntu? [02:11] alsa seems totally borked [02:11] TonyTheTiger: A pristine LiveUSB, or a fresh install will also work [02:11] Question - I deleted my virtualbox icon... what's the command to run virtualbox so I can re-create the launcher? [02:11] aplay -L shows no pcm devices [02:11] weird [02:12] iarp: and yes, it seems there are lot of issues with 9.10, espesailly if people have done an upgrade from 9.04 [02:12] randomusr: I doubt it [02:12] sebsebseb: actully the installed from the livecd part seems to be working once again [02:12] hi all [02:12] !hi | WaSeidel [02:12] WaSeidel: 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! [02:12] Roasted: The command is virtualbox. You should find it in Applications|System Tools or is that where you deleted it from? [02:12] i have a problem with wiki.ubuntu.com and launchpad integration [02:12] Roasted: where did you delete the launcher from? if its still in the menu, right click -> add launcher to desktop [02:12] Jordan_U, then it has to be some problem loading the driver... [02:13] drivers [02:13] HI all! Any recommendations for a video editor? [02:13] jonathanellis - yes, but when I run virtualbox, it says it's the comamnd for the version in the repos - I installed from the web site. [02:13] dsnyders, avidemux2 [02:13] dsnyders: what are you looking for, simple or powerful? [02:13] mikechelen - from my menu in applications - system tools. I had 2 icons, so I deleted one, turns out it was the one I shoudla kept :( [02:13] iarp: 9.10 is one that loads of people should be clean installing really, because of issues that might happen [02:13] MikeChelen, Do I have to choose? [02:13] Having just created several coasters I guess connecting a standard CD writer up via a PATA to USB adapter was a bad idea :-( [02:13] :-) [02:13] hi folks...firstly i am brand new to ubuntu and linux but so far i am very impressed...i do need some help however getting my soundcard to work...it's an xfi which is recognised but no sound. i have been through pages of info but no avail - does anyone know how to fix ? [02:13] some one can help me with a problem about the integration between launchpad and wiki.ubuntu.com? [02:13] TonyTheTiger, does ifconfig return anything for eth0 or wlan0? [02:13] sebsebseb: the idea of upgrading should be shot, it's a bad idea in any os lol [02:14] dsnyders: it will make it easier to recommend something appropriate [02:14] wow! and now it seems ubuntu has messed up the usb drive with its usb startup creating thing. -_- [02:14] Roasted: Oops. Guess you will need to look at the docs from the website. Does vbox work as a command by any chance? [02:14] hola a todos [02:14] iarp: I think that depends on the OS, it usaully works quite well with Ubuntu [02:14] randomusr yes it does, however they dont have inet or any activity. [02:14] alguien me puede ayudar con ubuntu [02:14] JonathanEllis, you don't understand flash do you? You can only write to a given physical sector so many times before it's liable to fail. And I don't believe it's as simple as losing part of the disk with the drive ding wear leveling... [02:14] MikeChelen, something to cut and paste clips together, wipes, disolves, add titling, etc. [02:15] Roasted: Alternatively you could just install from the repo. [02:15] !es | rgarcia [02:15] rgarcia: 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. [02:15] Bookman: /dev/usb/lp0 ? [02:15] jonathanellis - naw, the repo version is always older than whats on the web site. Its ALWAYS recommended from every resource Ive read to use the version from the web site. [02:15] TonyTheTiger, does the wireless see wifi networks from network manager? [02:15] Ashfire908: No I guess I dont know about flash. I thought flash was solid state [02:15] tapas: Have to admit, alsa is out of my knowledge area. [02:15] JonathanEllis, it is. [02:16] Roasted: What about the version in the virtualbox repo? The ubuntu repo version is old but if you add the virtualbox repo... [02:16] epinky: /dev/usb does not exist [02:16] randomusr no, the network manager is permenantly in "disconnected" status and nothing else can be done. [02:16] cant see networks or anything. [02:16] Can I keep a file in a place where both Ubuntu and Snow Leopard can access it? [02:16] dsnyders: avidemux is fine, so are pitivi and open movie editor, for something more powerful try lives or cinelerra [02:16] is rsyslog service the same thing that I configure through /etc/syslog.conf? I am on karmic and I am trying to get one app to log debug info, but the log turns up empty and I want to know whether it's app's fault or syslog's [02:16] Without having to mount "Macintosh HD" every time? [02:16] Roasted: Was there some problem you were having with the repo version? [02:16] jonathanellis - Im just going to reinstall virtualbox from the web site. After all, reinstalling wont wipe my .virtualbox folder in my home directory, so when I bring vbox back from a re-install, my OS's will be there. [02:17] I'm sure there's a way to do it. [02:17] !irc > ashfire908 [02:17] epinky: I've just tried /dev/bus/usb/001/002 even, the location of my printer on the USB bus. No go [02:17] Ashfire908, please see my private message [02:17] anyone using Virtual Box ever had the problem of Virtual Box not detecting a single device?? [02:17] Also, can I access localhost from here? [02:17] MikeChelen, Doesn't lives almost need a supercomputer to run? [02:17] :( [02:17] Roasted: Indeed that should work. But by the same token, installing the virtualbox repo and installing from there should work too and you will benefit from automatic updates [02:17] anyone wanna chat? my num's 505-999-0042 [02:17] TonyTheTiger, I would ensure that you don't have multiple software trying to manage the network devices [02:18] !ot | tyler_ [02:18] tyler_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:18] !ot | tyler_ [02:18] ¿¿ [02:18] randomusr how would i do that? [02:18] srry [02:18] jonathanellis - I get prompted for updates with the version I have from virtualbox's web site. I don't see what benefit I would get from using the repo version (which is always older). It's a step backwards.... [02:18] Bookman: lprng ? [02:18] anyone using Virtual Box ever had the problem of Virtual Box not detecting a single device?? [02:18] hello [02:18] hi [02:18] !distcc [02:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about distcc [02:18] epinky: I am just googling and have found some bug reports on this very issue. [02:19] TonyTheTiger, open synaptic and search for network [02:19] TonyTheTiger, Did you have wifi running on 9.04 (Have you used 9.04 on this lappy before 9.10?) [02:19] Roasted, what's ur problem with VBox? [02:19] OzFalcon: not to my knowledge, but if you have an older system, something simpler might be more convenient [02:19] Bookman: use cupsys-bsd [02:19] !virtualbox | xtsuname [02:19] xtsuname: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [02:19] xtsuname - I deleted the menu item. I had 2, deleted one, and woopsie - it was the right one I needed. [02:19] i don't have success starting the jackd daemon with karmic [02:19] MikeChelen, One you can setup cluster clients or some such. Pretty cool. [02:19] xtsuname: You may get an answer in #vbox [02:20] JonathanEllis, I know what VBox is thx... [02:20] TonyTheTiger, see if both knetworkmanager and network-manager are installed, it should be one or the other [02:20] xtsuname: I was just looking for the name of the channel [02:20] JonathanEllis, ah, that will be helpful. thx [02:20] ah, sry about that then [02:20] OzFalcon: ooh nice, that probably comes in handy when doing the final renders, used something similar with blender (3d modeling program) before [02:20] randomusr i have done the search, lots of apps are there. network manager gnome, network manager are there [02:21] xtsuname: No worries [02:21] TonyTheTiger, Did you have wifi running on 9.04 (Have you used 9.04 on this lappy before 9.10?) [02:21] TonyTheTiger: Trying from a liveusb ( if you can get it working again ) will also ensure that there is nothing conflicting with network-manager [02:21] OzFalcon yes i have used 9.04 and i had this exact problem, so i updated cos i had read 9.10 has propietry drivers which work. but this is just messing up. [02:22] what's the command to load / unload modules? [02:22] jonathanellis - reinstalling worked :) thanks dood === L3dPlatedLinux is now known as Hak5 [02:22] randomusr: modprobe to load and modprobe -r to unload [02:22] Jordan_U right, i get ya. I will try that but i want to avoid having to re-install for the third time if possible. [02:22] that's right [02:22] I have 64 bit system and a jav jar file. I am trying to do a java -jar on the file but nothing seems to happen it just hangs. I install sun-java6. Any help will be greatly appreciated [02:22] TonyTheTiger: many people get issues with 9.10 after a 9.04 upgrade [02:22] jonathanellis - I think the command was case sensitive, cause the properties of this command say its VirtualBox. I was using virtualbox. Maybe tahts why it backfired. [02:23] xtsuname: Which version of virtualbox are you using? Earlier versions wont read the current versions files [02:23] sebsebseb well i had issues even in 9.04 [02:23] TonyTheTiger: One you have it working in a known configuration it will be easier to get working on your actual install [02:23] TonyTheTiger, What about 8.10 or 8.04? [02:23] Hi all: Can anyone help me with a tool to diff the contents of two directories? Most of the files in the directories are binaries and diff is taking *ages* to do it. [02:23] JonathanEllis, no, it's not files, I want to sync my iPod with iTunes in VB [02:23] TonyTheTiger: There are just too many possible variables right now to troubleshoot effectively [02:23] OzFalcon no i have not tried them. [02:23] Second question: Is "Safely Remove Drive" just a made-up function for Windows XP users to feel comfortable? (eject just ejects while safely remove idioticaly ejects and then cuts power to the device like XP does.) [02:24] JonathanEllis, Vbox has that whim of sometimes detecting it and sometimes refusing to detect it. I was wondering if there is any fix for that [02:24] gmcinnes: git or rsync [02:24] xtsuname: Good luck with that. A friend of mine is trying to install itunes. Hang on while I see if she is online and I will ask her where she got with it [02:24] Jordan_U: pointers on how to do it with git? [02:24] epinky: How? [02:24] Sorry, *safely remove ejects then idiotically cuts [02:25] TonyTheTiger, Ok. Well I must admit. Im still using 8.10 on my hp2133. And the Broadcom Linux drivers Do work for that. I havn't tried 9.04 or 9.10 on it..... Not sure I want to now! [02:25] JonathanEllis, thx, I just have no idea why it would sometime connect and sometimes not... weird... [02:25] OzFalcon not sure if reverting to those will fix my problem. [02:25] TonyTheTiger, 8.04 is a bit too old. (Even though it's lts) 8.10 is bareable. === dexter_ is now known as Dexter [02:25] xtsuname: Me neither [02:25] gmcinnes: binaries are large and it takes a long time to diff them. What about comparing dates and sizes instead. You only need to actually diff files whose date & size are identical... [02:25] I have had karmic installed since like alpha 5. Around the time it was released, Firefox stopped working. It now crashes when opening gmail, google reader, and other sites. anything more than a simple page. any ideas? [02:26] OzFalcon: I'm using the Broadcom drivers on 9.10 now [02:26] Linu on the desktop is pretty fucking lame, I mean, seriously [02:26] did you tell him only the motivation of money(and virgin nymphos) can produce good shit [02:26] mtappenden: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:26] TonyTheTiger, You should just try 8.10 at least. [02:26] gmcinnes: In the first directory run "git init && git add . && git commit -m 'initial commit'" [02:26] !language | mtappenden [02:26] mtappenden: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:27] I mean seriously, do any virgin nymphs take you crackpots? [02:27] gmcinnes: When that is done move .git into the second directory and run "git diff" [02:27] hillshum, From the broadcom site? [02:27] losha: agreed. that's the issue. was hoping tools exist to do that though, rather than writing my own. could do it if needs be but would rather spend my cycles elsewhere :) [02:27] No, installed with the driver manager in Ubuntu [02:27] OzFalcon: 8.10 has been my favourite release since 8.04, no optional not perfectly stable, but not as bad as 9.10 by the sounds of it Ext4 support in it though Plus the ethernet woudn't work on the other computer. Also indeed at 8.04 getting a bit to old. [02:28] Jordan_U: hmm. ok. will give that a shot. git is fast. [02:28] xtsuname: I believe there is a native linux app that will work with the ipod. I wonder if itunes will work in wine. [02:28] OzFalcon: plus I haven't tried 9.10 final just yet, been testing since alpha 4 though [02:28] sebsebseb, Yeah. My fav now is 9.04. Im not going to 9.10. I'll wait too see what 10.04 is like. If it's a lemmon Ill go back to fedora. [02:28] gmcinnes: I ended up writing a perl script to do it. There might be some combination of options to rsync that'll do it for you if it's a once-off... [02:28] sebsebseb: 8.04 isn't so bad, its got the security updates [02:28] OzFalcon: 10.04 will be LTS, I doubt it will be a lemon [02:29] OzFalcon: you know some fedora stuff? where have they hidden the equiv of packages.ubuntu.com? ;) [02:29] OzFalcon: yeah possible dataloss or corruption issues for Ext4 in 9.10, that's not good, not good at all [02:29] OzFalcon: And for the first time they are pulling from debian testing rather than unstable [02:29] #kansas [02:29] sebsebseb, Note - I run both fedora and ubuntu at the moment. (One laptop, One Netbook, and one desktop) [02:29] i would just love it if for once i can install linux and not have to worry about it having hardware issues. [02:30] Hello, I followed the information given to me yesterday about getting sound to work on my ubuntu desktop edition, it worked after I first finished it, but now after a couple hours it isnt working. does anyone know why this would happen? It was not touched during the couple hours between when it worked and when it didnt. [02:30] *sigh* [02:30] Wait until 10.04 -_- [02:30] TonyTheTiger: get a mac [02:30] TonyTheTiger: thats what ubuntuhcl.org is for ;) [02:30] TonyTheTiger: Or buy a dell with Ubuntu pre installed :) [02:30] where can i find drivers for my samsung delve phone to use it as a modem for my computer? [02:30] Docteh, Yes. They consolidated some of the exteral repos. Ummm cant recall names. [02:30] OzFalcon: yeah the other computer will stay 9.04 for sure now, untill 10.04 at least. From what I have seen of 9.10 when testing, I am not impressed. [02:30] losha: hopefully its a one off. rsync is gonna want to compare byte by byte too, without a lot of futzing. We'll see how fast git is :) [02:30] sebsebseb, Indeed. [02:31] Does "Safely Remove Device" serve a purpose other than providing a familar function to people coming from Windows XP? [02:31] I like ubuntu. But Im not biased to not also use fedora. [02:31] Ashfire908, I presume it would do a umount. [02:31] just updated from 9.04 to 9.10. After reboot it hangs on a blank screen. No idea whats wrong. What could it be? [02:31] sebsebseb: I'm running kubuntu in a vm and it seems pretty good.. however that's not really "real world" [02:31] this is a very helpful channel to watch for a newbie to unbuntu [02:31] which distro of linux has the most compatibility with hardware? [02:31] is it possible to increase the size of the ramdrive? Or does it automatically use what it can [02:31] Ashfire908: you won't believe it, but the solution was to reinstall... [02:31] Ashfire908: ... [02:31] Ashfire908: grub [02:32] this is in a live-boot situation of course [02:32] Morning you happy coffeebeans. [02:32] TonyTheTiger: not sure why, but my Broadcom card works perfectly. it's the nic [02:32] jimp: you'll learn lots here [02:32] I've narrowed down the problem with my boot time. [02:32] also i think linux is way too focused on connecting to the internet, its great with the internet, but its a world of pain without. [02:32] Ashfire908: found it in some forum post.. no idea why this helped. .maybe some issue with initrd or something [02:32] wtf? :) [02:32] dsnyders, it ejects then, like XP, for no reason, cuts power to the device. [02:32] tapas: that's crazy. [02:32] OzFalcon: I don't want to upgrade it find out I have a reason to clean install, and end up clean installing 9.10 or 9.04, that one only went 9.04 not that long ago, after I got round to bothering to get rid of the 8.10 install where the ethernet woudn't work [02:32] scunizi: What do you mean not real world? [02:32] TonyTheTiger: that is true. Linux is not for someone w/o net. or slow net. [02:32] Ashfire908: no alsa works fine.. [02:32] xtsuname: My friend used itunes in vbox. I wasnt sure if she used wine. Have you googled for "wine iTunes "? [02:33] tapas, what about with pulse? [02:33] like i have to do some work, with an application which is windows only. now naturally ill get wine and do it, but without internet its really hard to get wine. [02:33] udev is trying to load my ATI card with ACPI and that's causing the 6 minute timeouts. [02:33] sebsebseb: all the emulation is pretty generic.. at least in vbox.. you don't have to worry about the latest vid card setup, motherboard etc.. [02:33] JonathanEllis, I'm using iTunes via VBox, it's working fine. iTunes via wine works, but it can't detect and sync with iPods [02:33] Ashfire908: actuall, fsck me.. alsamixer only works in the console [02:33] not in X [02:33] Docteh, This is the Fedora repo you want http://rpmfusion.org/ [02:33] scunizi: ah right yeah, since it can use the host for stuff, which host? [02:34] cant wait till reactos becomes more of an os contender. [02:34] tapas, well, you're getting somewhere... [02:34] TonyTheTiger: did you say you had the latitude d410? [02:34] sebsebseb: 8.04 :) [02:34] Ashfire908: yeah.. [02:34] TonyTheTiger: I don't see that happening any time soon, if ever [02:34] xtsuname: Ah OK. If you are not using the latest stable version of vbox it might pay you to upgrade but ask in #vbox to be sure. They know more about it - much more than I do. [02:34] scunizi: yeah vm'ing other versions of the same OS can be useful or well just fun [02:35] speaker-test works in console, too [02:35] JonathanEllis, I probably am, I used the version from the website. [02:35] maybe xmonad is the problem? [02:35] hmm, weird.. [02:35] sebsebseb, Just a hint. If you have an external HD. Backup your current working install with "ping" before you do any upgrades or changes to your working OS. Then if your unsatified - Just restore back. [02:35] gmcinnes: Um, check the rsync man page. Something like rsync -v --dry-run --size-only will only compare files whose size has changed and won't actually do any copying but will tell you what it *would* copy to make and identical... [02:35] this is crazy [02:35] TonyTheTiger: yes that will be someting hopefuly by 2014 it's ready, and then can run most Windows XP apps hopefuly as well, after all that's when XP runs out of support [02:35] JonathanEllis, everything is working fine. except VBox has this whim that I was hoping that someone knows and can fix [02:36] maybe because i started the x session via startx -- :1 [02:36] Hello, I followed the information given to me yesterday about getting sound to work on my Ubuntu desktop edition, it worked after I first finished it, but now after a couple hours it isn't working. does anyone know why this would happen? It was not touched during the couple hours between when it worked and when it didn't. [02:36] sebsebseb: kubuntu is actually looking "pretty" .. moves quick.. nice design.. good looking etc.. I just have to learn a whole new set of acronyms and program names *and* ways of doing things.. [02:36] i'll try a normal login\ [02:36] OzFalcon: I don't have an external hard disk of my own just yet, but I have been thinking about buying one or two even. What do you mean ping? [02:36] Anyone here with experience with libvirt on 8.10 that has maybe 5 mins to spare? I'm trying to solve a puzzle re: virsh net-* configuration - could use some help. [02:37] ; [02:37] sebsebseb, Ping is a partition backup standalone bootable CD. [02:37] Just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. After reboot it hangs on something... How could i troubleshoot this? [02:37] Is anyone familiar with what I can type in terminal to view my current DHCP assigned IP addy and domain info? (like ipconfig in windows?) [02:37] scunizi: yeah using KDE 4 as a GUI does have a learning curve, it's not like KDE 3 also [02:37] sebsebseb, It can backup to dvd onthe fly (Havn't tried that) or external HD or even USB thumb. [02:37] sebsebseb: smooth though. === TTTiger is now known as TonyTheTiger_ [02:38] noob13: ok many people have had issues after upgrading 9.04 to 9.10 [02:38] ok, with login via gdm it works, too.. [02:38] weird weird [02:38] hey guys, [02:38] right Jordan_U what do you suggest i do this time when i use my usb boot up? [02:38] sebsebseb: it'll be nice when the port of koffice to windows is pretty easy to implement [02:38] noob13, How far does it ger? [02:38] noob13, How far does it get? [02:38] OzFalcon: Ok sounds good and possibily useful for the future, thanks for that [02:38] OzFalcon: dreadfully bad choice for an application name. I suppose all the names starting with backup were taken.... [02:38] sebsebseb: actually ment.. kontact, kmail, etc.. whatever the wrapper for them all is called. [02:38] scunizi: Why do you want KOffice on Windows? [02:38] losha, Yeah. But it's a REALY usefull util. [02:39] who knows how to set up pulse audio in openbox? [02:39] http://ping.windowsdream.com/ [02:39] scunizi: OzFalcon yeah ping and I think of networking [02:39] if i install a .tgz file by simply extracting it to a folder and then clicking on the appropriate executable (which works) how do i make something like a menu entry for it (say under "Graphics" or Accessories...)? [02:39] TonyTheTiger: Unpack the firmware then run "sudo rmmod b43 && sudo modprobe b43" [02:39] sebsebseb: there are machines at work I have to use.. I like the kmail kcontact client combo.. [02:39] sebsebseb, Mmmm [02:39] Jordan_U unpack what firmware? [02:39] wow [02:40] i'm looking at the release notes for karmic. in the section "Change in notifications of available updates", if i disable that option with gconf, will the updates show in the notification area instead of popping up update manager? [02:40] OzFalcon: well, if it works reliably, I forgive them for yielding to the temptation of wanting a recursive acronym... [02:40] running a simple nph-script.cgi keeps appending "HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:28:53 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.8-1hardy~ppa1" at the end of each page rendered....why is this teh case? the script is not supposed to output anything about server [02:40] TonyTheTiger_: The link I sent you with the b43 directory, you can also copy it from your hard drive [02:40] losha, It works well. [02:40] jmcantrell: yes, that's what I did... [02:40] scunizi: shame your wrok place doesn't go Desktop Linux. Also Linux apps being ported to Windows is a bit hmm [02:40] trism: cool [02:40] Is there a way to make udev stop -trying- to load my ATI with acpi active? [02:40] Welcome to the life of a flight attendant... 'Tis all we look forward to: a vodka tonic and the Home Shopping Network in our layover hotel room... [02:41] tonythetiger, you may want to try Dreamlinux. No offense to ubuntu, but i think it will accomplish your connection issue without the headache [02:41] oops sorry wrong chat [02:41] Ever since upgrading & reinstalling Karmic, my Suspend to Disk is very broken, when I resume it takes for ever, and the console display is corrupt. After fully resuming, and waiting about 5 minutes, I Can get access to a HEAVILY corrupted console, and then at this point can restart kdm, and get a working X session, however the console remains corrupted. Even if I type reset, it's corrupted, it's hard to describe, it's like every 10th line i [02:41] s missing (pixel) and every 10th - 1 line is offset. [02:41] sebsebseb: just more oss, gpl exposure.. makes converting easier.. I actually use ubuntu in a vm most of the time.. [02:41] Is anyone familiar with what I can type in terminal to view my current DHCP assigned IP addy and domain info? (like ipconfig in windows?) [02:41] randomusr: ah yes Dreamlinux I gave it a try in vm before, it's Ubuntu based and seems good [02:41] Jordan_U i am using live usb, so where would i place the files? [02:41] BoriTori: Check out /etc/apache2/apache2.conf [02:41] how do I burn an iso image on the command line? k3b and brasero are not working [02:41] randomusr: Why would it sort out their network issue though? [02:41] TonyTheTiger_: /lib/firmware/ [02:41] Jordan_U: what should i look for ? [02:41] mkilo: ifconfig and cat /etc/resolv.conf [02:42] scunizi: hmm with Windows as host as well? [02:42] sebsebseb: yep [02:42] scunizi: oh dear [02:42] sebsebseb: only at work [02:42] sebsebseb, I believe it handles network devices much better. Didn't know it was truly ubuntu based. Debian based is more like it [02:42] scunizi: ok :) [02:42] Im off. C U All. [02:42] Quick question: From the terminal how can you tell the X server to look at the nvidia-settings instead of the default drivers? I needed to disable it due to another machine not having this setup (its a portable install), but now ubuntu gets stuck at the loading screen, just flashing the terminal [02:42] OzFalcon: I'd never heard of it. I wonder if it's mentioned in the !backups ubottu msg? [02:42] sebsebseb: so I'm forgiven? [02:42] can I get ubottu to help me with iso image burning? [02:42] losha, Not sure But works ok. [02:42] randomusr: yeah Ubuntu or Debian based [02:43] SwedeMike: perfect! thank you! [02:43] froglet2: in windows or ubuntu? [02:43] scunizi: heh I guess, and I guess so :) [02:43] !burncd [02:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about burncd [02:43] ubuntu [02:43] !burniso [02:43] To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [02:43] and why is gdm so damn slow? [02:43] ty [02:43] yw [02:43] Jordan_U how would i get permissions. [02:44] BoriTori: Sorry, it's /etc/apache2/conf.d/security [02:44] sebsebseb, it has a better set of drivers configured out of the box and arranges configures them without issue on install [02:44] dreamlinux specific code [02:44] froglet2: I can maybe help you with that if ubottu can't... [02:44] Jordan_U: i only see charset in that directory [02:44] Peace, I'm out this biz [02:44] randomusr: scunizi DreamLinux also comes with an interesting propritary office suite, I think it was DreamLinux anyway [02:44] TonyTheTiger_: gksudo nautilus or run sudo tar in the /lib/firmware directory [02:45] and how do i tell the new gdm to run my .xinitrc? [02:45] sebsebseb: Hi sebsebseb! Why would anyone want *another* proprietary office suite? [02:45] how do I configure `screen` so if I open vim with a file, the tab title is the filename of the file being edited? [02:45] ok i am using live usb, but it doesnt have the "install" icon on the desktop... why is that. [02:45] losha: the one I am thinking of has been around for a few years or so I think, and when I tried in a vm, it seemed good. I think maybe also they have a freeware version and then paid or something [02:46] BoriTori: The option you want at least used to be "Servertokens Prod" in that config file [02:46] I think it hangs on starting gdm :| [02:46] Jordan_U: i dont know why its suddenly starting to ouput server details [02:46] please, help me, when I try to run 'update-manager -d', I got it http://pastebin.com/dd81667e [02:46] Jordan_U: the .cgi script just ouputs "hello world" [02:46] BoriTori: Most servers do that [02:47] I'm really enjoying karmic, I just wanted to say well done. [02:47] tapas: gdm is optional unless you change desktops a lot... [02:47] right im in live usb and i cant install... this is really frustrating. [02:48] howdy [02:48] losha: scunizi well I guess it won't hit off and compete properly against Microsoft Office ever, but choice is good really, even if closed source when made for Desktop Linux [02:48] how do you change the icon that appears next to an application in a menu? [02:48] TonyTheTiger_: What do you mean you can't install? [02:48] Jordan_U you said i should fresh install once again, but i dont seem to have the option to do so. [02:49] so, booted into the installer cd's live system....but it's asking me for a login? [02:49] does anyone know if it's neccessary to define "DNS Domain", "Search Domain", "DNS 1,2,3" for a static IP? I know the IP address I wanna use, I know the Netmask and the router's IP (for the "Gateway"), but is DNS neccessary? it keeps changing everytime the router reboots... [02:49] and also you said that i should put the b43 folder into /lib/firmware but i dont have permissions and the command you said doesnt work. === DaveO is now known as hcook [02:49] its just madness [02:49] sebsebseb: well at least you know Msoft office isn't going to suddenly go away, and pretty anyone can read it. Not that I'm a fan.... [02:49] howdy [02:49] TonyTheTiger_: Put the tar file on the desktop [02:49] losha: Pretty much anyone can read what? [02:50] losha: their formats you mean? [02:50] sebsebseb: pretty much anyone can read msoft office format files... [02:50] Hello, I come offering low car insurance rates. [02:50] Jordan_U: that worked! however i am still getting HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:51:50 GMT Server: Apache Content-Length: 0 Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/plain [02:50] udev is trying to load video drivers with acpi set, and this is causing severe hangup on my boot. Does anyone know how to fix this? [02:50] Jordan_U i dont have the file on the usb anymore since i reformated it [02:50] so, just booted the 9.10 installer to the livecd system....and it's asking me for a username and password? [02:50] what's the deal? [02:50] How do I get back my Firefox icon? I don't see any icon for 3.5 (though there is one for 3.0..) [02:50] TonyTheTiger_: Ok, mount your ubuntu partition [02:51] losha: http://www.gnu.org and then philosphey section, and there's a good article about telling people not to email us Word documents :) [02:51] I move a 90gig folder to another hard disk ... done .... after a restart the folder disapeard serius [02:51] TonyTheTiger_: hey dude, awesome nick [02:51] ErinEsurance: right click on the launcher and set the icon. The icon should be in /use/share/icons [02:51] any help [02:51] ? [02:51] thanks ErinEsurance [02:51] ErinEsurance: are you on 9.04? in 9.04 3.5 is called Shiretoko [02:51] cybor, where did you move the file to? [02:52] TonyTheTiger_: Tell me when it's mounted and where ( If you do it through the GUI I think it will be /media/disk ) [02:52] sebsebseb: I couldn't agree more. Just saying that another 3rd. party format makes even less sense... [02:52] my system ubuntu 9.01 64bit [02:52] chowder: ah, alright. Why is it not set like that by default? (I thought Fx was 3.5 in Ubuntu 9.10?) [02:52] losha: I think the program I meant does open formats such as ODF [02:52] trism: 9.10 [02:52] Is there any localhostr uploadr-like thing for Ubuntu? [02:52] TonyTheTiger_: heh :) [02:52] ok.. === ErinEsurance is now known as Roey [02:52] A widget that allows me to upload files from the desktop? [02:52] Hi, how can i use gdb on ubuntu? [02:52] losha: ,but yes propritary formats = bad [02:53] nic1: you mean the gnu debugger? Do you have a program that's misbehaving? [02:53] I'm wondering if anybody has worked out how to get firefox to *not* save tabs when you exit via logout/shutdown of the system [02:54] Out_Cold another hard disk (Sata2,ext4) secondary subdirectory [02:54] hi ppl Im using ubuntu 8.10 and I installed gtk 2.18 from source code with glib 2.22 and my desktop theme seems like it's gone. also appearance manager can't open giving the "segmentation fail" [02:54] I suppose I should reinstall the old gtk [02:55] TonyTheTiger_: Still there? [02:55] any suggestions? [02:55] does anyone know if later versions of Ubuntu are going to use the Gnome 3 with gnome-shell? [02:56] chowder: 10.04 will have Gnome 2 as the default and probably Gnome 3 in the repo as well [02:56] chowder: 10.10 Should by default [02:56] <__dean> hey guys im not getting any thumbnails for my videos in nautilus, any ideas what could be wrong? [02:56] Should I ask here for help with the DevHelp app? Or in -dev? [02:56] I wonder since 10.04 is going to be a LTS release will it eventually let you update to Gnome 3 [02:56] how do i configure my resolution in ubuntu 9.10 ? i'm stuck with a 800x600 option only in the System-Preferences-Video [02:56] chowder: if it's in the repo you can choose to use it [02:56] chowder: easilley [02:57] dennni: you seem to have it covered. I'd have tested out such a radical change under vmware first, personally... [02:57] !nautilus [02:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about nautilus [02:57] losha: i need to debug a c program and c, i do not know how to use the tools..not regarding any particular problem..but what can i use in the first place?

(re)-Compile your c program with -g to get debugging, then type gdb and step through it line by line... [02:58] <__dean> what was that Dasda [02:58] cabuloso: sounds like you have video card issues if you can't change the resolution. However, if I'm not mistaken under System>Preferences>Display you should be able to change the resolution [02:58] How do I make udev stop trying to load video drivers with ACPI? [02:58] where can i find drivers for my samsung delve phone to use it as a modem for my computer? [02:58] I need help with java on a 64bit ubuntu.

I have the IP I wanna use, the netmask and I'm using the router's IP as the gateway... But doesn't the DNS server reset when the router resets? [02:59] losha, just tried with no luck.

[03:00] kilo: dns is completely disconnected from the forwarding of IP packets. [03:00] losha: how to tell ubuntu to use the older version of gtk? [03:00] sebsebseb: ok [03:00] chowder, there i can't change it. only have 800x600 option. my default resolution is 1440x900 [03:01] cabuloso: well it sounds like a video card issue. Are you using the proper drivers? [03:01] losha, do you have any experience with java. I have a jar file that I want to java -jar but it hangs. [03:01] Jordan_U, there are no drivers missing, it's a sis onboard (notebook) videocard [03:01] nic1: usually, you edit the Makefile to change the CC or GCC definition to add a -g to it. Poke around and see if you can find it [03:01] anybody has any idea why is it that when i type "mail" in my shell i see my mail (which comes from /var/mail/myuser) but squirrelmail will not show me the mail? im running sendmail + courier-imap === mr is now known as Guest55876 [03:01] chowder, there are no drivers missing, it's a sis onboard (notebook) videocard [03:02] FromTO: sorry, I know nothing about java, except that it runs like a pig... [03:02] losha, thanks anyways [03:02] cabuloso: SIS cards are the least supported graphics cards in linux, the drivers are terrible [03:02] cabuloso: type this in the terminal (no quotes) lspci -v | grep vga [03:02] terk, SwedeMike: so do I need to change the DNS everytime I need to connect to the internet if I have a static IP on my computer? [03:02] cabuloso: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [03:03] kilo: no? didn't you get dns server information as well as your static ip, netmask and gateway? just enter that statically as well. [03:03] kilo: in /etc/resolv.conf [03:03] kilo: depends on your ISP and how they address it [03:03] kilo: usually, the ISP that gave you your static IP will also tell you what dns servers to use.... [03:03] jean [03:03] SwedeMike: I guess my concern is that if I reset the modem, doesn't that information change? [03:03] Anyone heard anything on the 2.6.28-16 Server kernel and why it won't boot? [03:04] kilo: what information? [03:04] chowder, this command returned nothing [03:04] 2.6.28-15 works fine [03:04] kilo: the IP address of the dns server doesn't change. [03:04] Where can I find the preinstalled background images? [03:04] kilo: if it's truly a 'static' ip, it doesn't change. Hence the name, static. Note that static ips usually cost more. Are you *sure* your ISP gave you a static address? [03:04] terk, losha, SwedeMike: my concern is if the modem resets, won't the DNS address change? or is that only the DHCP IP address that will change? [03:04] cabuloso: try it like this: lspci -v | grep VGA [03:05] kilo: the dns servers IP usually doesn't change over time, no. [03:05] especially if they gave it to you at the same time as your static ip [03:05] TonyTheTiger_: Still there? [03:05] kilo: You sound confused: if you are using dhcp to get an address, your address isn't static. And the dhcp server will assign both ip address and dns address... [03:05] l [03:06] Jordan_U, there is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/310170/ [03:06] chowder, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10) [03:06] <__dean> i get this error in nautilus (nautilus:9704): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstffmpeg.so': libavutil.so.49: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [03:06] <__dean> how do i resolve that [03:07] how could i feed a text file with a list of file paths to cp? [03:07] ssmy: xargs [03:07] anybody has any idea why is it that when i type "mail" in my shell i see my mail (which comes from /var/mail/myuser) but squirrelmail will not show me the mail? im running sendmail + courier-imap [03:08] SwedeMike: will try, [03:08] losha, SwedeMike: OK, allow me to describe: I have a modem connected to a cable provider who provides a DHCP assigned addy to the modem, that modem connects to a router, also DHCP assigned. Said router connects to a computer which is what has a static IP. My concern is solely with the DNS entry and if this value changes if the modem flushes its DHCP setting. Sorry if I'm sounding confused losha, I just didn't know whether or not this value [03:08] reset. [03:08] losha: make file is not very clear for me, i dont see any cc as such, except in echo, shall i pastebin my makefile? can you pls check that once and suggest me where i can add -g? [03:08] nic1: ok, pastebin the makefile... [03:09] kilo: if the router provides dns resolving, just point your dns server on your computer to the routers IP address [03:09] kilo: it'll handle the situation. [03:09] SwedeMike: perfect... thanks Swede! [03:09] chowder, any clue ? [03:09] kilo: if it doesn't, then you should probably run a dns resolver on the machine with static IP and point /etc/resolv.conf to 127.0.0.1 [03:09] i don't have the menu to customize sound effects in 9.10, i.e., login/logout sounds. How do you do it on 9.10? [03:09] cabuloso: repaste the log but do this. "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE >> ~/xlog.txt" your log will now only show the errors and will be in the home directory [03:10] cabuloso: I'm shortening the log cause I'm not about to go through that wall of text [03:10] lol [03:10] chowder, ok [03:10] please, help me, when I try to run 'update-manager -d', I got it http://pastebin.com/dd81667e [03:10] __dean: look up apt-get update the apt-get dist-upgrade [03:10] cabuloso: Try this for an xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/fef3cac8 [03:10] SwedeMike: ok, cool, I'll give that a try... I'm just still trying to figure Wicd out and I am not used to having to enter the DNS Domain, DNS Search, AND DNS entries... I usually only need one entry (like in windows configuration). Thanks for your help! [03:11] S4nD3r: Try running it as sudo? [03:11] S4nD3r: Why are you running update-manager -d? that's to upgrade to a development release [03:11] chowder, http://paste.ubuntu.com/310173/ [03:11] SwedeMike: got that. how can I get it to properly escape the filenames/ [03:11] i have had error [03:12] errors when try to install anything [03:12] Can someone help me edit menu.lst to load up Windows Vista?

I was wondering if there is a way to run the script automatically whenever my Sansa is detected? I'm guessing HAL might be involved? [03:14] what is the newest ubuntu os out now? [03:14] chowder, no problem. but thanks for trying anyway. =) [03:14] yw [03:15] rAlexandro: 9.10 [03:15] "karmic koala" [03:15] SwedeMike: yeah, but the issue is that xargs sends the filenames to cp unescaped. so it fails on spaces. i already changed the xargs delimiter to newline. [03:15] Jordan_U: will try. trying to figure out a nicer way though. [03:16] losha: here is my makefile http://paste.ubuntu.com/310176/ [03:16] Is there any solution? [03:16] squidbear: its either hal or udev [03:16] Jordan_U, that xorg goes in /etc/X11/xorg.conf like in previous versions ? [03:16] Hey, my keyboard stops after a while any idea why?

If I remove and add the notification area from the panel it comes back. [03:17] Jordan_U: thanks, that works. [03:17] unique: check the configuration of squirrelmail for where its looking [03:17] Actually [03:17] how to put it back the way it was before 9.04 [03:18] unique: actually does the mail command go via imap or is it hitting /var/mail/you directly? [03:18] nic1: ok, see that $(CFLAGS) on line 12? It's a placeholder for any additional flags to the c compiler. So you can type: make CFLAGS=-g and it will add -g to the compilation line. You may need to delete all your object files first to make sure they get recompiled. [03:18] !karmic [03:18] Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is the current release of Ubuntu.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:20] is there a better spelling and grammar checker around for ubuntu? Openoffice does a real poor job.

[03:46] !question | ayman [03:46] ayman: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:47] what is better.. two monitors or one big one? [03:47] chowder: Yes I know, thanks. Starting with simple words. [03:47] does anyone know how to get bluetooth headset to work in ubuntu karmic? I've got them paired but no idea how to route sound to headset [03:47] astechgeek: What happens when you try to boot? [03:47] @chowder not sure how to set up with etc/fstab [03:47] hanasaki: more real-estate with 2 monitors, surely? [03:47] the mouse is locking up too [03:47] DugenNash: Where is the drive located? Is it sdb or sda etc... [03:47] It was a multiboot drive with win and ubuntu but it wouldn't load the initrd [03:47] can anyone help me with setting up a ubuntu as a router ? [03:47] I think the problem is gdm [03:47] losha: what's a good card? [03:48] !hcl [03:48] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [03:48] its mostly set up but i cant get the two hosts pinging [03:48] astechgeek: It wouldn't load the initrd for Ubuntu or for another distro? [03:48] DugenNash: if you look at the /etc/fstab file you'll see that ubuntu already has some entries so you can get the general idea. Either way there are a million and one tutorials online about editing the /etc/fstab. Google is your friend. [03:48] hanasaki: Get anything by nVidia.... ATI Support / Catalyst Drivers on Linux sucks! [03:48] remaster sys 2.0.11 not work on ubuntu 9.10 and cannot find remaster sys for karmic [03:48] for ubuntu or the windows [03:48] chowder: thanks ill check that out [03:48] hanasaki: see ubottu above, also check newegg reviews... [03:48] initrd for the ubuntu [03:48] new reinstall of 9.04 - can't seem to set static IP with NetworkManager. Google's answer seems to be remove nm and use wicd. I had it working before... what am I missing? [03:48] Are the multimedia codecs available in the Kubuntu 9.10 DVD? [03:49] is hardy heron still the LTS version, currently? [03:49] !ics | benny0099 [03:49] benny0099: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [03:49] hanasaki: I'd also recommend getting either 9500GT, or a GTS260. [03:49] froglet2: yes [03:49] MikeChelen, it say on theior website that they are on freenode [03:49] let me rephrase that, since windows doesnt use 'initrd' [03:49] lstarnes, ty [03:49] froglet2: yes, the next one is 10.04 [03:49] I think I have a Hardy CD [03:49] PaulChater: I thought so too about ati... the newest drivers in 9.10 rock for my ati hd3200 [03:49] hello. could anyone tell me what programs get installed when I install the ATI drivers through the restricted drivers manager? [03:49] codename: cracked-out crane [03:49] astechgeek: What is the error you get? [03:49] I think the upgrade messed up the partition table cause the upgrade was to the legacy grub if I'm not mistaken and I was on 2.0 grub in my 9.04 install [03:50] no help or what [03:50] mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm [03:50] ayman: google [03:50] hanasaki: I have a HD3870 :) 9.10 drivers only rock on Windows unfortunately lol. I hate catalyst control centre. :P [03:50] !googleit | chowder [03:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about googleit [03:50] ayman: or if you can't find remastersys in the repos you may have to build from source [03:50] PaulChater: what's wrong w/ catalyst... PaulChater what mobo and model please [03:50] astechgeek: can't you reinstall legacy grub using a live cd? [03:50] !google | chowder [03:50] chowder: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [03:51] I need help reinstalling grub, can somebody help me? i dont know how [03:51] I did the update through the update manager [03:51] Coral: lots of how-tos online [03:51] hanasaki: I'm running a AsRock N7AD-SLI board, with my ATI Radeon HD3870 GFX. Dual Screen, Dual DVI-D [03:51] Coral: Sure, why do you need to re-install? [03:51] !grub2 [03:51] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [03:51] Is there anyone that tell me Are the multimedia codecs available in Kubuntu9.10 DVD??? [03:51] I will install it (jaunty) one more time and just use the command line tools to update... maybe that will fix this [03:52] Jordan_U: something about my computer not booting the correct partition [03:52] ramanK, what kind of mutimedia? [03:52] I sort of get the feeling that empathy is broken. I wonder why they replaced pidgin with it. Not that pidgin was very loveable, but this is not even really functional. [03:52] ramanK: you'll most likely need to use medibuntu's repos for some multimedia functionality [03:52] empathy doesn't work with proxies as far as I can tell [03:52] restricted multimedia codecs such as DVD ralated one's [03:52] THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO THE PERSON WHO GAVE ME THAT WEBSITE FOR UBUNTU ROUTING, MY PROBLEM IS NOW SOLVED :) [03:53] Wow, this is even worse than before. [03:53] ASUS M3A78-EM PaulChater this works like a champfor me... [03:53] Still booting. [03:53] benny0099: you're welcome :) [03:53] Coral: Could you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg and the output of "blkid" ? [03:53] status 0x0100? [03:53] hanasaki: Also, what's wrong with catalyst.... What's right with it is more appropriate :P Although I must admit, i've had no problems with it so far. But ATI have always sucked for support on Linux anyway. [03:53] I have intrepid, how to upgrade to jaunty without problems? [03:53] is it normal to have your cpu at 70-80 % full [03:53] Jordan_U: i dont know....im almost clueless. [03:54] thank you ubottu [03:54] webbb82: sometimes.. [03:54] Coral: Can you boot from a LiveCD? [03:54] Jordan_U: thats what i had to do [03:54] rcampbel, it just sort of doesn't work at all. You can't chat on Yahoo. You can't recieve messages, You can't send messages. You can see your buddy list though. If you can log on. Which you cannot with all accounts. And you can *hear* if something happens, but you can't find Empathy among the open applications along the bottom of the screen. [03:54] Coral: Ok, from there do you know how to access your Ubuntu partition? [03:54] Does Anyone know how i can go about converting a video of mine from AVI to VOB files?? (To burn onto DVD.. ntsc) [03:55] Jordan_U: no [03:55] i mean can you even do it on linux [03:55] emma: Empathy sucks :D should've stuck with Pidgin :D [03:55] ubuntu desktop 9.04 doesn't automatically upgrade to 9.10 byitself i hope? === liyingqiao is now known as lyq88 [03:55] Coolest_Loser57: there is a program called devede that does that. [03:55] iarp:no [03:55] coolest==use devede and it will work fine [03:55] intrepid is 8.10 [03:55] Coral: ty [03:55] Coolest_Loser57: sure. www.handbreak.fr ... k3b may do it.. search synaptic for dvd and you'll find more references [03:56] I am afraid to reboot this netbook running karmic because I did an update today [03:56] maybe it won't start [03:56] Coral: Ok, can you pastebin the output from running "blkid" in the terminal ( Applications > Acessories > Terminal ) ? [03:56] froglet2: go for it [03:56] !pastebin | Coral [03:56] Coral: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [03:56] losha: I found it, dling it now, but does it also CONVERT?? [03:56] nooooo [03:56] Coolest_Loser57: are you downloading it from synaptic or from a web site? [03:57] Coolest_Loser57: yes, it will take your avi and produce file(s) ready for burning to dvd... [03:57] Is there any way for me to make X use less resources? [03:57] sunizi: im dling devede from the ubuntu software center [03:57] I have a notebook running on KK live cd, the ethernet interface is recognized fine but won't autoconfig DHCP. i notice it sayting no IPV6 routers available, does it default to only ipv6? [03:57] memory, that is [03:57] Coolest_Loser57: that's good.. [03:57] losha: could i pm you for a second [03:57] Jordan_U: hold on, let me try to figure this out [03:57] Coolest_Loser57: ok... [03:58] 144 mb seems substantial, no? [03:58] can someone help with a grub issue? [03:58] Jordan_U: ok, why do i need to use pastebin? [03:59] losha: i tried where and list, list gives me a few lines of code, but i am finding the correlation [03:59] Coral: To paste the output of your command from terminal. [03:59] Coral: because it is considered rude to paste several lines into a channel [03:59] Ripp: in today's world most computers come with over 2GB of memory. 144 MB wouldn't bother me. [03:59] Coral: you'll flood the channel and get muted [03:59] Coral: Because pasting the text into the channel would be disruptive [03:59] losha: soon after main, it's giving few lines which are not there in that file at all.. [03:59] it seems that apport is unable to pass through proxy.Am I correct? [03:59] Coral: your chances of being helped would quickly diminish [03:59] emma: whoever made the call to make empathy the default should be forced to use it ;) [04:00] I know...I used X on a linux machine in 2001 with only 500mb of ram, and it ran fine [04:00] Coral: You'll probably get banned from the channel too. [04:00] I'm just wondering why the resource usage seems growing so much:/ [04:00] c'est la vie, i guess [04:00] the one thing all the breakages today have in common for me is the graphical updater [04:00] Jordan_U:ok, what i meant was why will i have to paste my terminal output? [04:00] !apport [04:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about apport [04:00] anyone know where gnome-power-manger stores config files? [04:00] I'm off all... C'ya! :) [04:00] * PaulChater idles. [04:01] hmm, I have ubuntu NBR, on an aspire one. This morning I was able to use the display application to view content on both the aspires monitor, and a 17 inch crt monitor at the same time, now, even though nothing has been changed, when I click the detect monitors button both screens go Black [04:01] hey folks... [04:01] How to make apport go through proxy? [04:01] Ripp: X is a resource intensive program that's constantly running, its normal for it to use a lot of RAM. Its also possible that some of the RAM is cached. [04:01] Coral: So that I can get information about the partitions on your hard drive and check for problems with your grub.conf [04:01] froglet2: from terminal try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.. it just makes sure you have all the available upgrades [04:01] how long does it take before people answer questions here [04:01] evil1: depends on the questions [04:01] evil1: Whats your question? [04:01] i have a grub issure [04:01] evil1, depends on the question [04:01] thanks [04:01] can anyone help me with setting up a bluetooth headset? Ubuntu Karmic? [04:02] how do you customize login/logout sounds in ubuntu 9.10 i don't have a menu for that [04:02] hmm, did my question get through? [04:02] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/310208/plain/ i think thats what im supposed to do? [04:02] I was using 9.10 beta. Do I need to install 9.10 release on top of it? [04:02] !final | jm2 [04:02] jm2: If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Karmic. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [04:02] jm2, no, if you've been getting the updates, you're running the final release [04:02] evil1: on my system it's System>Preferences>sound [04:02] Coral: That is correct [04:03] scunizi, yes or aptitude but I am staying away from update-manager [04:03] yeah i don't have that menu to customize login/logout sounds very weird [04:03] and I won't reboot this netbook until I have a backup system working [04:04] I got the latest updates. I'll check the commands. Thanks. [04:04] How can I run XNA with Ubuntu? [04:04] evil1: http://gerardmcgarry.com/blog/how-install-ubuntu-gdm-login-theme [04:04] evil1: I'm on 8.04 not karmic .. that's probably why [04:04] doltek: what is XNA [04:04] Could someone help me with figuring out how to save my session so that when i log on, all four of my workspaces will initiate certain programs... anybody??? [04:04] ok i saw it in 9.4 but 9.10 doesn't have it [04:04] losha: are you there? [04:04] Jordan_U: i need to boot /dev/sda2 [04:05] losha: can i know why you have told me to start with gdb i3-msg? the reason behind it?? [04:05] nic1: I'm here... [04:05] so that i can reboot my comp and all the programs be activating i mean and ONLY on specific workspaces/desktops [04:05] Microsoft plug in for visual studio. Also allows you to plat game you made on the PC and Xbox [04:05] nic1: I thought the name of the program you build was i3-msg? I read it from the makefile.. [04:05] doltek: keyword: Microsoft [04:05] you're using Linux [04:06] nic1: is it named something else? [04:06] doltek: if anything try wine [04:06] Could someone help me with figuring out how to save my session so that when i log on, all four of my workspaces will initiate certain programs... anybody??? [04:06] Could someone help me with figuring out how to save my session so that when i log on, all four of my workspaces will initiate certain programs... anybody??? [04:06] Coolest_Loser57: I think you'd have to customize a few GDM config files [04:06] sry didn't meanto spam [04:06] Coolest_Loser57: stop spamming the channel [04:06] hey, can anyone help with fbdev? [04:06] do i need to download a package or do something in terminal [04:06] good evening [04:06] chowder: was an accident.. sry, umm idk how to configure GDM files... where could i learn how? [04:07] Jordan_U: i would also like to merge all of me partitions, if that is possible. or just add the disk space to the one that i use [04:07] my* [04:07] Coolest_Loser57: many people have asked similar questions to yours. Try searching the Ubuntu forums or use a search engine like google. [04:07] Coolest_Loser57: system>>startup applications>>options>>"Remember Currently running Applications" [04:07] lvm would be a nice way to have adjustable volumes [04:07] of course, you'll want to go ahead and open those apps on their respective workspaces first [04:08] ezzieyguywuf1: i've tried that already.. doesn't work lol Xchat won't open among others [04:08] !~ [04:08] Can anyone help with fbdev? I get [fbdev2] Can't open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory (running karmic) [04:08] is that framebuffer device? [04:08] ok.. I have 2 hard disks, each 160GB on a Dell poweredge T105. is there anything special I need to load ubuntu server? [04:08] yeah I think so... [04:08] I'm trying to use -vo fbdev2 on mplayer, I've seen this done before [04:08] ezzieyguywuf1: that's not really what he was asking. Its like getting Firefox to open on space 1, xchat on 2, pidgin on 3, etc. Doing that requires editing some files in /etc/gdm/idkwhereitsat [04:08] when i launch an application, how do i specify what workspace i want it on? is it possible to say which one? [04:08] Which is better win or runing Windows as a virtual box? [04:08] are you unable to get an ... oh. hmm. [04:08] losha: there are other main s in the whole codebase too [04:08] chowder: searched through the ubuntu forums, all are very similar questions, but none are exact enough as far as WORKSPACES go.. and some programs don't open when using ezzie's solution [04:09] Hey! I have a serious Karmic issue! When my display goes to sleep, nothing whatsoever that I do will bring it back up! Why is this happening? [04:09] let me see what that option does [04:09] chowder: ah I see. so session_manager doesn't remember workspaces then? sounds easy enough to automate with some sort of bash script... [04:09] Jordan_U: and the i dont have any audio on the partition that i use(it contains ubuntu 9.10. i just upgraded) [04:09] Andorin, do you havee ati graphics and do you have compiz enabled? [04:10] jj [04:10] I've seen this used to play a video on the screen from a tty [04:10] ezzieyguywuf1: fluxbox does exactly that. Remembers apps, windows sizes, workspaces, and all that. Its just a bit more DIY. [04:10] Coral: Ok, run "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt" to mount your Ubuntu partition, then run "gksudo gedit /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg" and pastebin the contents [04:10] in ascii art? [04:10] no, normally [04:10] chowder: yea. I think I remember some compiz options as well... [04:10] SeaPhor: To the best of my knowledge, yes to both questions. [04:10] that whole sound menu thing is really odd 9.10 should have had it [04:10] Dravekx: to make things easier.. check the wiring of each drive to the motherboard.. make sure that drive 1 is in the drive1 slot on the motherboard and the same for drive 2.. then make sure your boot order is in sequence for the drives.. it will work reguardless but sometimes with 2 drives you'll install and then you end up reinstalling to boot loader to the right drive. [04:10] oh... holy crap. i don't know about that. [04:10] is there an open source windows application for simply recording video from my webcam? [04:10] nic1: C only allows one main per program. If there are multiple programs, you need to decide which one you want to debug. Maybe printf is the way to go after all... [04:10] I suggest that guy does some googling. he's gone though.... [04:11] can i get some help? [04:11] is there any way to change the default connect status of empathy from "online" to "hidden" ? [04:11] scunizi, thx :) [04:11] andruk: this is an ubuntu channel. We don't really deal with windows apps. [04:11] Jordan_U: Grub.cfg is empty [04:11] Shalendar[ubuntu: whats your question? [04:11] Andorin, disable the desktop effects (compiz) and see if still occurs [04:11] thanks for your time scunizi [04:11] ezzieyguywuf1: well someone got mad at me for suggesting that someone else google [04:11] is there a particular reason why the ubuntu installer sees my main drive, and then the raid drive and then all 5 drives in that raid and doesn't allow me to install onto the main RAID section that spans all the drives. The raid is managed by nvidia system thats built into my mobo [04:12] * ezzieyguywuf1 wants to take some time to get the screen res right when he hooks up his laptop to his 46'' TV so that he can install Half-Life2 via wine, get his ps3 controller to work in ubuntu, and have some fun :-) [04:12] which ubuntu kernels are patched of the brad spengler NULL pointer vulnerability [04:12] Jordan_U: but i was able to find one earlier that is not empty [04:12] Dravekx: np :) remember server has no gui environment.. if you want it after install just "sudo apt-get install gnome or xfce4 or .. there's a million of them.. if you want the whole ubuntu desktop then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [04:12] anyone here know about vm ware esx? if i install esxi on my desktop, can i still use that desktop as a workstation? not remoting into virtual server from another pc [04:12] chowder: really? google is your friend. main reason I went with ubuntu as my first linux distro was the huge community and the amount of help online [04:12] Coral: Ok, please pastebin that [04:12] evil1: did you get it worked out? [04:12] i tried to update to 9.10 and choose to keep legacy grub since i also have a winVista installation. no grub only shows 9.04 which wont boot. how do i update the grub loader to get to 9.10 [04:13] iarp, have you tried the "alternative" insatller? [04:13] How to make apport go through proxy? [04:13] no i don't have a menu like that at all [04:13] its completely missing [04:13] ni1s: what do you mean alternative [04:13] Andorin, in System>Appearance>Visual effects.. [04:13] evil1: someone gave you a link earlier for a how to.. [04:13] ezzieyguywuf1: well bugging experienced users about the same problems 30000000000000000 times a day can be avoided if some people would take the time to read the docs, google, or read posts on the forums [04:14] iarp, the text based alternative livecd [04:14] Andorin, set to none' [04:14] SeaPhor: I know. I just don't have a way to put to sleep on command. [04:14] Jordan_U: i cant open it [04:14] i know what your talking about scunizi but its really odd stuff that its missing [04:14] chowder: of course, a lot of ubuntites are first-timers and thus are put-off from the docs etc. a little too techy for them [04:14] ni1s: that is what i use, i'm was trying to install server version at the time [04:14] Coral: You need to open it as root, you can do that with "gksudo gedit" === jbuncher is now known as jbuncher_ [04:14] chowder: a little harsh since we're here to help experienced and inexperienced alike.. === jbuncher_ is now known as jbuncher [04:14] hi i JUST bought a d-link dwa 125. i was having an unsuccessful time with getting Belkin to work with ubuntu 9.10. however, the d-link did not work. i found a forum post that said there was a way to get d-link dwa-125 to work. however, the suggestion didn't work. what should I do? Please, Please help me. I am new to ubuntu [04:14] if youre talking to me, i tried searching and havent come up with anything, if you direct me to the proper pages [04:14] Andorin, system>shut down>suspend [04:15] iarp, isnt the RAID listed? [04:15] suggestion please for a program to wipe a hard drive ( graphics based for this nembie ) thanks [04:15] <`efeX> How do you recursively remove files in a directory? (i want to delete the files and folders in the tmp directory) [04:15] scunizi: its harsh but imagine being asked how to reinstall grub over and over and over and over again [04:15] iarp, iirc raids are listed first in that list [04:15] ni1s: yes but i'm not allow to assign the main OS to be installed on it, it forces me to choose 1 of the 5 drives in the raid itself and then it wants to format that single drive and break up the raid [04:16] after hearing the same repeat questions you're eventually going to direct people to their favorite search engine or to the forums. [04:16] g'night to allz [04:16] `efeX: man rm my friend [04:16] 'efeX: I think you can run 'rm /tmp/*' [04:16] `efeX: rm -r [04:16] small question: I have a intel graphic card but there are some nvidia packages installed by default in my system, nvidia-common, nvidia-*-modaliases, etc. Is it safe to remove them? [04:16] chowder: I have.. and other qeustions as well.. you have the choice of not answering or beginning the conversation with them [04:16] Jordan_U: That one is empty as well ;( [04:16] what is server cloud??? [04:16] iarp, have you tried recreating the raid from that menu? [04:16] do I want cloud or ubuntu server? [04:16] <`efeX> Thanks MikeChelen, ezzieyguywuf` [04:16] ... something perhaps in Ubuntu software centre ... [04:17] Dravekx: cloud is probably for virtual machine [04:17] `efeX: no prob [04:17] Dravekx: unless you own hundreds of servers then you don't want cloud [04:17] MikeChelen, im making a personal server [04:17] MikeChelen: isn't cloud some sort of online storage that ubuntu is providing [04:17] REPOST: hi i JUST bought a d-link dwa 125. i was having an unsuccessful time with getting Belkin to work with ubuntu 9.10. however, the d-link did not work. i found a forum post that said there was a way to get d-link dwa-125 to work. however, the suggestion didn't work. what should I do? Please, Please help me. I am new to ubuntu [04:17] oh ok [04:17] ni1s: no because i figured since it's already managed by my motherboard, ubuntu shouldn't even see the drives sinularily but as the raid as 1 drive byitself [04:17] Ubuntu One is cloud [04:17] how to disable the notification system [04:17] Jordan_U: would my menu.lst file be helpful, i can open that [04:17] ezzieyguywuf1: cloud computing is a lot more complicated then just storage [04:17] hi guys [04:17] Andorin, that work? [04:17] I need some help [04:17] `efeX: add -f to remove write-protected files, and use sudo if needed (carefully!) [04:17] SeaPhor: Nope. It's like the computer totally ignores the fact that I have a keyboard and mouse hooked up. [04:18] Coral: Yes, but only to compare it to your grub.cfg [04:18] Dravekx: probably "server" is what you want [04:18] I am looking for a program that takes multiple pdf files and combines them....I think it is called something like pdfmerge or pdfcombine or something similar [04:18] Hi is there a way to return the missing cursor at the command line on the new 9.10??? [04:18] Andorin, to wake frpom sleep hit the power button... [04:18] scunizi: well regardless what people think, the fact is that newbies asking the same questions over and over again without reading wikis or any of the extensive documentation online slows everything down. [04:18] Is there a way to remove those notifications? [04:18] help [04:18] chowder: i'll cede the subject to you then :-) [04:18] <`efeX> MikeChelen: everything in the /tmp/ directory is safe to delete right? [04:18] ezzieyguywuf1: idk exactly, there is a server vm install option, also there are vm / cloud machine hosting software packages [04:19] chowder: I try to pick questions that I think can't be answered by 'just anyone'. I don't teach people how to edit over irc any more. It's to no-ones advantage if you burn yourself out... [04:19] Jordan_U: there is no grub.cfg to compare it to... [04:19] SeaPhor: I did. It had the same problem, though, with merely the display being asleep; I'm supposed to be able to wake the computer up with the keyboard or mouse, but it's not working for me. [04:19] losha: i guess i still have hope [04:19] Coral: This would be a lot easier if you could boot into Ubuntu, do you mind wasting a cd trying something? [04:19] anyone have any idea? [04:19] `efeX: idk, probably? shut down any running programs first probably [04:19] help me! [04:19] any way to specify what worksapce i want to launch an application into, without using compiz? (compiz makes my videos flash white... forced to disable) [04:19] chowder: ahh I was getting confused with "Ubuntu one". I know now what the cloud computing is. using multiple comps to accomplish one task ore something like that correct? [04:20] Jordan_U: no [04:20] anyone? suggestion please for a program to wipe a hard drive ( graphics based for this nembie ) thanks [04:20] chowder: when I find myself being sarcastic or telling people to just google it, it means I need to take a break... [04:20] Andorin, what ati drivers you using and where did u get them? [04:20] <`efeX> well now my terminal wont open D: [04:20] iarp, is the raidcontroller on your mobo a fakeraid? [04:20] Jordan_U: i have a bunch of cd-rw's anyway [04:20] SeaPhor: I'm... using Karmic's defaults. If that doesn't answer your question, what do I need to do to give you the rest of the answer? [04:20] why doesn't bluetooth just work like windows!!! [04:20] upgrad intrepid, is just to put jaunty in source.list? [04:20] MikeChelen: I think if you only have one comp as your server, use the non-cloud option [04:20] !pdf [04:20] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [04:20] what is the name of that new notification thing [04:20] so I can uninstall it [04:21] !pdfcombine [04:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about pdfcombine [04:21] anyone want to help me setup a unbuntu personal server in PM? [04:21] ni1s: no it's controled by nvidia mediashield [04:21] ubuntu* [04:21] ezzieyguywuf1: yup exactly, the standard server cd is what i use for a home server (and in other cases) [04:21] mattwj2002: try a search in Synaptic [04:21] I want the name of the notification package [04:21] ni1s: even windows didn't recognise it as separate drives, but only as 1 full [04:21] Jordan_U: Here is my menu.lst file if you want to look at it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/310224/plain/ [04:21] Andorin, look in System>administration>hardware drivers and see if you have ATI that you can activate [04:22] SeaPhor: Nothing. [04:22] hmmm [04:22] What is LVM? [04:22] ezzieyguywuf1: that's actually distributed computing. I can't really explain cloud computing that well but I'll try: imagine having a very small, lightweight PC with a 20 GB HDD and only about 1 GB RAM. What could computing would do is that X would be hosted on a server and run on multiple machines via internet. That's one example of cloud computing's applications. [04:22] hello [04:22] look up "thin client" [04:22] !lvm | Dravekx [04:22] Dravekx: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [04:22] chowder: I see [04:23] i am on ubuntu, not able to join rooms in http://irc.twice-irc.de/channels.php, can anyone please help me? [04:23] ohhh.. LVM is for raid? [04:23] losha: how do you use ubottu? [04:23] I dont need that then. [04:23] Coral: Ok try burning this to a CD and booting from it: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/sgd_cdrom_experimental.iso [04:23] !_! [04:23] any way to specify what worksapce i want to launch an application into, without using compiz? (compiz makes my videos flash white... forced to disable) [04:23] I don't find any /etc/inittab in Ubuntu. Where did it go? [04:23] Andorin, do this in a terminal... lshw -C video the C is capital, and tell me what the manufacturer is [04:23] nic1: I got a 404 error for that url. 404=page not found [04:24] I just have installed Karmic Koala and my wifi was working and suddenly I can't connect my PC to the wireless LAN. My wireless card is WUSB54Gv4 and in previous versiones I had to build the driver from source. Do I have to build the driver as in older versions ??? [04:24] hi [04:24] Dravekx: doesn't have to be [04:24] Draconis, no, LVM is a different way of managing your storage from the traditional MBR partition + file system way of doing things [04:24] Coral: Try the "Automagically detect grub.cfg" option first, then menu.lst, then the "boot ubuntu" option [04:24] Coral: you can browse ubottu stuff here: http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi [04:24] chowder: the page opens for me [04:24] MeXTuX: probably do [04:24] Jordan_U: this may take a while, i have to use my moms computer to burn it :P [04:24] emma: ubuntu doesn't use init. It uses some other type of system. The name escapes me at the moment. [04:24] I will try again .... will formatting a drive be sufficient to safely wipe it? [04:24] Draconis, LVM does support certain features like striping and mirroring that make it a viable alternative to RAID [04:25] SeaPhor: Damn, I'm not using ATI after all. This computer uses Intel, it seems. [04:25] I've been told I need to setup/configure a framebuffer, how can I do this in karmic? [04:25] I used to build RaLink RT2570 USB Enhanced Driver from this page --> http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/ [04:25] Trying to use mplayer -vo fbdev2, by the way [04:25] hello there i have a little isue, does someone know there xsplash stores the image it uses¿ [04:25] nic1: I get 403 (permission denied) [04:25] chowder, hmm. I'm trying to find a nice way to temporarily make Ubuntu boot to a command line (without any graphical stuff), and be able to easily re-activate that as desired. [04:25] Linear-Key, typically the frame buffer is configured in your graphics card driver, unless you are in a situation where you must manually configure your display adapter [04:26] Where does Xsplash stores the image it uses ? [04:26] Well I get this: [04:26] Web [04:26] Hide optionsShow options... [04:26] hi, my wifi is fine on jaunty (what I'm using right now) but doesn't work on karmic [04:26] err... [04:26] Linear-Key: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:26] wait [04:26] Linear-Key, what/who is telling you you need to configure a frame bufffer? [04:26] [fbdev2] Can't open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory [04:26] emma: the recovery kernel option on boot? [04:26] the guys in #mplayer [04:26] doesn't matter if it's a fresh or upgraded install, 32 or 64 bit [04:27] Karmic is awesome otherwise, so I'm sad the wifi asploded. [04:27] emma: I usually do that by renaming /usr/sbin/gdm to /usr/sbin/gdm.orig temporarily (Note: the names are slightly different in 9.10) [04:27] emma: I tried that because I wanted something similar to what I had in archlinux. I'm telling you right now...don't waste your time. Ubuntu's current init system doesn't have a cli-only runlevel [04:27] scunizi, does that give you the same kernel? Is that identical to if you were just booting into a commandline only mode? [04:27] Hello, I would like to remove the notify-OSD, how to do that please? [04:27] emma: same kernel but with automatic root access [04:27] Andorin, for now, i'd disable the display sleep, but i'd look through the bugs ans on the forums and if you find nothing then file a bug report,,, if you need help to disable the display sleep, let me know [04:27] how do i access a windows shared network folder on karmic UNR? [04:27] oddly, if I boot karmic with the 2.6.28 kernel left over from jaunty (I upgraded), wifi works. [04:27] emma: however, you can install normal init but then you'd have to configure it and all that. [04:27] Linear-Key, so you get this message when running mplayer? or is it when you are using anohter application, like firefox or something else? [04:27] yeah. [04:27] with .31, however, it doesn't. [04:28] when I run mplayer -vo fbdev2 [04:28] my purpose is to try to force myself to live in the commandline for a while as a learning experience. [04:28] No problems with anything else [04:28] but i would like to be able to easily put it back to regular ubuntu whenever I want to take a break or really need a GUI [04:28] emma: just open a terminal.... [04:28] I can use mplayer normally, just not when I set the video out to fbdev2 [04:28] emma: been there.. once booted .. then just ctrl+alt+F2 and stay there :) [04:28] ??? anyone ??? come on ... takes a few keystrokes. [04:28] zelrikriando, just a guess, but maybe remove the notify-osd package? [04:29] emma, yeah what losha said [04:29] zelrikriando: use kde :) [04:29] Home directory Encryption for a Personal Home Server: yes or no? [04:29] emma: ctrl+alt+F7 will get you back to the gui [04:29] ryty: it's bound to ubuntu-desktop [04:29] TheOV: hell no [04:29] zelrikriando: kde 4.3 actually got me to switch over [04:29] Dravekx: I'm paranoid so I would go with yes but its up to you [04:29] and the notifications are great :) [04:29] no =[ [04:29] how do i access a windows shared network folder on karmic UNR? [04:30] Linear-Key, what are you trying to get wirking with fbdev2? Is this from a guide? [04:30] No, I've seen someone else do this: I want to play videos from a tty [04:30] I know I could just ctrl+alt+f7.. I just didn't think that would be as authentic somehow. [04:30] chowder: will apache work on the server if i do that? [04:30] and ctrl+alt+f1 [04:30] ryty: so any idea? [04:31] Dravekx: on a server the owner isn't putting much of anything in /home.. most stuff is off the root someplace.. like the web server and files.. databases in mysql etc. [04:31] Dravekx: i've never set up a server before and have 0 apache experience [04:31] Normally mplayer would open a window with the video in it, but I want to be able to play videos in a tty, and I've seen someone do this using fbdev2 [04:31] wasn't sure if that gave you the same experiece as really booting right into the text environment [04:31] !.. [04:31] zelrikriando, trying a few things, standbu [04:31] Linear-Key, ok, did you also set the x and y options for your resolution? [04:31] standby* [04:31] I dont understand what it does... does it just unmount the user home? [04:31] ok [04:31] how do i access a windows shared network folder on karmic UNR? [04:31] emma: it looks the same but it isn't [04:31] emma: just open a terminal. The CLi you get that way is the same as any other.... [04:31] hi guys [04:31] No, I don't know how to do that [04:31] Linear-Key, and have you tried the -fs option? [04:31] SeaPhor: Nah, one of the first things I did when I noticed this problem was display the sleep. Thanks for your help, though. [04:31] It won't be the same.. [04:31] I think the error I'm getting is lower level than that [04:31] zelrikriando, not saying it's supported, but you could force it [04:32] Since it's claiming I don't have a fb device [04:32] Dravekx: encryption? [04:32] hello all. I'm trying to use screenlets to add widgets to my desktop but they don't stay on reboot ... is there some sort of command I can call at startup to load the scripts I want? I checked the man but it was useless [04:32] anyone figure out how to fix the audio woes of 9.10? i have sound.... its just... really wonky.... [04:32] anyone here know how i can fix my sound audio,i experience static/distortions.X-fi Xtreme music.i googled and others have the problem but i can't not find any fix for it [04:32] Jordan_U: so you want me to boot this cd? [04:32] emma: a real text environment would be at a special runlevel designed for use with text. With archlinux it's runlevel 3 [04:32] SetiAmon: guess we're in a similar boat [04:32] Coral: Yes [04:32] vphoenix:wow same problem [04:32] Coral: Try the "Automagically detect grub.cfg" option first, then menu.lst, then the "boot ubuntu" option [04:32] yeah [04:32] heh [04:32] Is there an easy way to mount a windows shared network folder? [04:32] yea [04:32] scunizi, I just encrypted the home directory on login. [04:32] Linear-Key, are you running the command with sudo? [04:32] emma: it's *better*. It means you can mix and match gui and cli stuff as needed.... [04:32] zelrikriando, or disable the notification daemon [04:32] seems like there are no runlevels in ubuntu. [04:32] anyone know the best way to attach a raid1 array to a fresh system keeping the data in tact? [04:32] oh, haven't tried sudo [04:32] I think its for user protection. [04:32] is there a way to call up specific screenlets from term? [04:32] emma: there are [04:32] SetiAmon: the strange thing is, most of my speakers work... just not all of them... [04:32] Dravekx: that's ok.. either way it works fine.. [04:33] Linear-Key, if you don't have root you may not be able to get the device created [04:33] vphoenix:yeah audio is jacked for me.I have cleaned it up a bit by removing and reinstalling pulseaudio with synaptic,but I haven't gotten rid of all the distortions. [04:33] Makes no difference it seems, still get [fbdev2] Can't open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory [04:33] TheOV not in the /etc/inittab [04:33] emma: there are runlevels, but they're almost useless... [04:33] I see. [04:33] emma: its very frustrating. losha: as for being "better", that's highly debatable [04:33] how come ubuntu does not ship with ssl certificates for positive ssl (from comodo) [04:33] ryty: that's very annoying [04:33] vphoenix:ah not the same problem i guess I use headphones.I wish i could just install the x-fi drivers but it doesn't work i guess with karmic [04:33] FFForever: you should ask one of the developers [04:33] emma: Debian (and therefore Ubuntu) don't have differences in the general purpoes runlevels (you could certainly set some up though) [04:33] SetiAmon: i've seen your problem with the xfi distortion... people say you have to do something w.r.t. passing a parameter to pulseaudio in the modprobing... [04:34] chowder: better in the sense of having the best of both worlds. All the familiar gui stuff, plus full access to any cli command via a terminal... [04:34] SetiAmon: looking for a link now [04:34] chowder, how do i ask one of them?, other computers don't give an ssl error but ubuntu does :( [04:34] gay [04:34] is there an easy way to access windows shared network files on karmic? [04:34] LANDSCAPE or Automatic updates??? [04:34] Flannel, maybe it would be a better learning experience to install and dual boot Ubuntu Server [04:34] FFForever: Please don't use that term pejoratively. Thanks [04:34] Bryce1: install sambafs [04:34] FFForever: I was being sarcastic. I think if you were to ask a dev "why don't you put this feature in by default" you'd get yelled at [04:34] thanks! ill try now [04:35] emma: Server doesn't either. If you want to turn off your GUI, just ctrl-alt-f1 and stop gdm (sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop) [04:35] Linear-Key, so at this point, if the mplayer guys are telling you to go create a /dev/fb0 device, then I assume you pasted them an strace of your mplayer command? [04:35] Flannel, sorry [04:35] Dravekx: if this is a home server for experimentation.. auto updates [04:35] cool vphoenix [04:35] scunizi, its for home business really. [04:35] is there a way to have the screenlets applets op on start up so I don't have to manually open each one every boot? [04:35] Flannel, oh cool and then you can start it up again with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start I guess [04:35] No, I just told them that one line and they said you need to setup/configure framebuffer [04:35] Dravekx: same diff.. do the auto updates.. [04:35] scunizi: couldn't find package sambafs [04:35] ? [04:35] emma: yeah, you could just stop gdm from loading on boot and then startx when you want to use X [04:36] Well, one person [04:36] zelrikriando, try this: http://www.killertechtips.com/2009/04/26/disable-notifications-in-ubuntu-904-jaunty-jackalope/ [04:36] Flannel, anyway to comment out or prevent gdm from starting by default? what about just changing the name of gdm to gdm-temp-disabled [04:36] Andorin, have you tried hitting "esc" while display sleep? [04:36] @#ubuntu anyone here have issues where the volume controls play sound out of most speakers, but not all speakers, and the volume slider for Flash doesnt work properly with the master volume of gnome / per-application firefox volume settings? also, alsamixer makes audio sound one way, until i touch the gnome volume slider, which completely changes the sound of the audio and messes up the mix [04:36] SeaPhor: Yes. [04:36] personally, I prefer starting at a text only runlevel. That eliminates the need for gdm and reduces bloat. I'd also setup my .xinitrc to accept arguments and "xinit gnome" or xinit w/e [04:36] webcam software? [04:36] Bryce1: hang on .. looking [04:36] !bum | emma [04:36] emma: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [04:36] what options are there for a windows virtual machine? do i have to have windows installed in a partition before installing said virtual machine? [04:36] hi guys is there a m,ethod to revert ubuntu back to a fresh install without actually reinstalling? [04:37] chowder, then how can i get comodo included by default?, it is a valid ssl vendor and lots of sites use them [04:37] Bryce1: sorry.. smbfs [04:37] nathan_ there is computer janitor [04:37] nukasl,you can install almost any OS in a virtual machine. you don't need an existing partition of said OS [04:37] SetiAmon: https://launchpad.net/bugs/461062 [04:37] scunizi, ok ill try that [04:37] emma: Use update-rc.d to disable it in your chosen runlevel(s) [04:37] logicfan any advice on the most easy to download free or not? [04:37] FFForever: it sounds like you're going to have to set it up yourself. If you know enough to use ssl then setting it up shouldn't be an issue. [04:37] emma: Or BUM, obviously.

[04:40] nathan_: reinstall.. [04:40] so do i have to install samba on my windows pc? [04:41] SeaPhor: It's no problem. If I learn anything else, I'll try to pass it on to you. [04:41] Bryce1: no.. it's default there. [04:41] scunizi, without actually reinstalling :p [04:41] nathan_: there is no " go back in time " feature [04:41] nathan_: not that I'm aware of.. [04:41] fair enough guess i have no choice [04:41] nathan_: it's called a backup. You made one, right? [04:41] nope [04:42] nathan_: an almost easy method is to mirror your partitions just after install and all the updates.. [04:42] look me up tomorrow Andorin while i'm at work and i;ll pass along to the team, we may be able to help if you dont have the answer by then [04:42] nathan_: then the answer is no.... [04:42] i assumed a "backup" is made when you first styart at least [04:42] scunuzi, pretty much I want my own little media server and website that can access all 1400 of my DVD's on file. [04:42] maybe setup a forum and a store for my girlfriends business. [04:43] anyone know how best to debug pulseaudio's speaker setup? [04:43] BTW SeaPhor my a[ [04:43] apologies* [04:43] Is there a way to configure sbackup to send mail alerts for every backup job completed?

[05:03] rymo: ps on the cmd line is best [05:03] Draconis, yes [05:03] randomusr, if Jack is used, it can't be used again after any program has used it. so it can be used only once per reboot [05:03] when i try and connect to my windows network it doesnt show any computers how do i show them? [05:03] What must have happened to the fonts? I apt-get purged firefox* and installed firefox again still the fonts are messed up [05:04] why do i have to type startx to get into ubuntu?

[05:29] Jordan_U, it's not even available in synaptic, but in apt-get install libstdc++ it displays 5 as an option [05:29] ingenius: yes that is what I saw, dkms [05:30] and I did not notice that your English "sucks" [05:30] is there a system log I can look at to find out why sound hardware isn't being loaded/configured ? [05:30] Jordan_U, yeah but if i do a fresh install like you recommand it it gonna erase my real grub mbr and will never do one especially for the usb flash, cause you're solution could be working on my computer only and the principe is that i can travel with the key and makes it working everywhere but i was thinking a software could do that alone [05:30] courpse: It will be called linux-image and you can find the version you're currently running with the command 'uname -r' [05:31] well im trying to reinstall it. [05:31] jacquesdupontd: You can tell the installer to install grub to the flash drive, it will work on any computer [05:31] Jordan_U, i hope you understand what i want ? [05:31] And i need the whole name so i can try apt-get --reinstall install name. [05:31] jacquesdupontd: A flash drive you can boot on any computer [05:31] i just got rid of pulse audio because it was sucking. now i'm using alsa. problem is that the volume control in the panel is gone and it's not available to add it. any ideas? [05:32] froglet2: I'm tired of hearing ... problems of age :) [05:32] Jordan_U: what should i do, try again? [05:32] hey i need help please , [05:32] Jordan_U, i've never seen that when you install ubuntu that we can choose where to put the mbr and not to modify the other real one at the same time [05:33] when i restart my computer no matther kind of linux i get this error http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/2618/senzatitolo1copiaee3.jpg its happend only in linux in windows no problem please help ! [05:33] jacquesdupontd: It's somewhat hidden in a button labeled "advanced" on the screen where you look over what the installer is going to do ( which partitions it will format etc ) [05:33] Jordan_U, i really don't see where you can choose this type of things cause i'm always make manually my partitions so i guess i would see it [05:33] xfire8: seems like a bios problem unrelated to the OS. i could be wrong [05:34] jacquesdupontd: It's after you choose the partitions, and it's there even if you do automatic partitioning [05:34] how do I force a reinstall of sound? no hardware showing up in Sound Preferences even though it's listed in `lspci` [05:34] dubled2 : i dont know it happend only in linux i cant restart my computer without get this error but if i shutdown is ok [05:34] rymo: do you want to use pulse or alsa? [05:35] Jordan_U, ok so i tell it to install the grub mbr on the "/" exta4 partition that's it ? [05:35] xfire8: does it happen if you hibernate? [05:35] no [05:35] dublued2: I have no idea! :) my sound works fine with the LiveCD - what's the default? [05:35] rymo: i believe default in 9.10 is pulse [05:36] rymo: you can go into synaptic package manager and search for pulse and see if it's installed [05:36] jacquesdupontd: Yes ( sdb, not the partition like sdb1 ) [05:36] unknown filesystem type 'devfs' problem occured while installing new kernel 2.6.24 and kenel panic sync problem [05:36] Jordan_U, anyway then when you have installed your version of ubuntu on the flash pen drive you can install and modify what you want ? for example i can install the ubuntu studio on it or anything else [05:36] i have vncserver installed and vnc into my box from my mac, but the shift key doesn't work. i assume the key mappings are messed up, but not sure how to fix it. they are fine using the machine locally [05:36] rymo: you're looking for pulseaudio [05:36] anyone can help me please ? [05:36] jacquesdupontd: Yes, it's a completely standard install [05:37] dublued2: pulseaudio checked green, also a lot (but not all) other pulseaudio-modules [05:37] hi everyone [05:38] just wondering, is there an IRC channel for vixta? [05:38] rymo: i guess you can remove it and reinstall it but i don't know if that will be of any benefit [05:38] when i restart my computer no matther kind of linux i get this error http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/2618/senzatitolo1copiaee3.jpg its happend only in linux in windows no problem please help ! [05:39] Jordan_U, i'll only move my apps and settings from my actual partition to make it exactly like the one i'm on but 1 more question, imagine i don't have the ubuntu live cd on me (cause i'm in the bed) and that i just have this ubuntu i'm running on [05:39] rymo: Since it works on the LiveCD you could see what is different in /etc on the LiveCD vs your install [05:39] * susie hugs roved2101 [05:39] a [05:39] * roved2101 hug susie [05:39] I just installed ssh, do I need to configure it at all? [05:39] yahoo [05:40] or is it ready to go? [05:40] pretty much ready to go... [05:40] Dravekx-> its ready to go,, ssh [05:40] jacquesdupontd: Is your current install using less than 4 GIG? [05:40] when i click my other windows pc on my network it asks me for the password to my shared files.. i dont require passwords to access it on the network. what can i do to fix it? [05:40] dublued2: thx - can't hurt to try. .. would I be looking for pulseaudio something under /etc or ? [05:40] Jordan_U, in fact my question is why wouldn't it work if i would just make a big copy past of all on the usb flash drive and then just try to boot on it with my bios boot manager ? [05:40] Jordan_U, yes i think so [05:40] samd, Im using putty to connect to it, but its not connecting over network. [05:41] Jordan_U, it's a brand new fresh intall [05:41] * dixon2008 can't wait to get back to a Linux OS :D [05:41] jacquesdupontd: Because you wouldn't have a bootloader, and you would need to do a carefull copy and paste to get the permissions exactly right [05:41] Dravekx-> u installed openssh-server on the host computer? [05:41] does anyone here use vim? I'm wondering what happened to the package vim-full, and what the alternatives are [05:41] samd, yes [05:41] Dravekx-> ur connecting from the same local area network?? [05:41] when i click my other windows pc on my network it asks me for the password to my shared files.. i dont require passwords to access it on the network. what can i do to fix it? [05:41] Jordan_U, there you are to tell me why permissions would change if i just copy paste ? [05:41] samd, yes [05:42] rymo: you can just uncheck pulseaudio in synaptic package manager and hit Apply [05:42] that will remove it [05:42] jacquesdupontd: Because a default copy and paste doesn't preserve permissions [05:42] jacquesdupontd: You can try partimage [05:42] Dravekx-> umm strange, as far as i know, openssh-server starts looking for connections on port 22 as fast as u install it [05:42] vectorjohn_: vim-full is vim-gnome now [05:42] vectorjohn_: If you just want the TUI vim, you just want "vim" [05:42] Jordan_U, and if it's the case what exact command i could make to preserve all permissions ? i'm not risking anything anyway i bought this flash drive for this use today [05:43] dublued2: before I uninstall, which /etc files were you suggesting I compare to LiveCD? [05:43] !partimage [05:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about partimage [05:43] when i click my other windows pc on my network it asks me for the password to my shared files.. i dont require passwords to access it on the network. what can i do to fix it? [05:43] Flannel: thanks. What I want is good code highlighting and indenting, which the "vim" package doesn't have [05:43] samd, I installed ddclient on the ubuntu server as well in order to get my dyndns account to work. I dont know if that has any effects or not. and the router is setup for IP PASSthrough, so all ports are open for the moment. [05:43] Jordan_U, what is partimage ? [05:43] vectorjohn_: What? Yes it does. [05:43] rymo: sorry i'm not that advanced :) [05:43] I tried to reinstall ubuntu 9.10 over my current ubuntu 9.10 install and grub seems to have broken, it says error:file not found and givees me a grub rescue> [05:44] jacquesdupontd: It's a program that allows you to backup a filesystem, without the free space bits [05:44] does anyone know what newgrounds is? [05:44] vectorjohn_: the vim you have installed by default is "vim-tiny" which is a really stripped down version of vim. [05:44] Jordan_U, something that would make an image of my actual drive (ubuntuà and then to burn this image on my flash pen drive [05:44] dublued2: no prob! [05:44] rymo: but i will say this much. i was having a lot of problems with pulseaudio. so i uninstalled it and it defaulted to alsa which works much better for me. so you can try that [05:44] Flannel: then its not enabled by default? I go in, type a PHP function and press enter and the cursor goes to the beginning of the line [05:44] vectorjohn_: Have you installed "vim"? [05:44] when i click my other windows pc on my network it asks me for the password to my shared files.. i dont require passwords to access it on the network. what can i do to fix it? [05:44] Flannel: just "apt-get install vim", right? Yes, I did that [05:45] i have upgraded from jaunty to koala and now there is no sound output, however the sound card is detected correctly and is installed, any suggestions? [05:45] Jordan_U, and it's backed up as a .iso or something ? that could be perfect cause then i could use the software natively installed in 9.XX versions of ubuntu [05:45] anyone know how to fix the grub error? [05:45] Dravekx-> umm, dont know if it has anything to do,, u might give ur question a try on #openssh channel [05:45] I have ubuntu 9.10 on a laptop and on a desktop. Both have samba settings the same, yet the deskotp machine despite sharing enable, it just doesn't show. [05:45] samd, ok thanks alot :) [05:45] dublued2: great tip, thx [05:45] hey please , if anyone smart and can help me with problem please , in private thanks [05:45] !grub | TonyTheTiger [05:45] jacquesdupontd: You can do it with tar, let me find the best way to do it with tar [05:45] TonyTheTiger: 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. [05:45] Draconis-> no problem [05:45] when i click my other windows pc on my network it asks me for the password to my shared files.. i dont require passwords to access it on the network. what can i do to fix it? [05:45] vectorjohn_: Hmm, I guess it might be disabled by default. The global rc is etc/vim/vimrc, there's a syntax line in there to uncomment, and a few lines lower a thing about auto-indent [05:46] http://www.cashgrass.com/aff/idevaffiliate.php?id=1203 [05:46] vectorjohn_: so, I suppose it is disabled by default [05:46] So why does "apt-get isntall vim-python" want to install libruby1.8? [05:46] leicaman: Try "smb://" in Location Bar (nautilus) [05:46] when i click my other windows pc on my network it asks me for the password to my shared files.. i dont require passwords to access it on the network. what can i do to fix it? [05:46] I'll try that. [05:46] crc32, because it's in the debian/control file? [05:47] petsounds i didnt install windows, i re-installed 9.10 [05:47] crc32: vim-python is a transitional package now, for a full vim package (GTK, no-x, or gnome), all of which include python, ruby, etc support [05:47] Jordan_U, i'm reading about partimage but with tar would be perfect yes cause it would conserve exactly permissions and i could create a .iso [05:47] thedude42 where is the control file? I can't imagine why it just wants to absorb ruby as a dependency. Its a text editor [05:48] TonyTheTiger : you did clean install? [05:48] jacquesdupontd: You don't want to create a .iso [05:48] when i click my other windows pc on my network it asks me for the password to my shared files.. i dont require passwords to access it on the network. what can i do to fix it? [05:48] Do I hafta stay logged in as my user on the server in order to get lamp working?? or should it work even if I'm logged out? [05:48] petsounds yes [05:48] Jordan_U, by the way i should make 2 partitions on th flash drive i need a swap for computers that doesn't have one [05:48] This doesn't work out very well I have a custom /usr/local build of ruby outside of Debians package management. [05:48] TonyTheTiger: Have you tried extracting the firmware to /lib/firmware? [05:48] crc32: install "vim" [05:48] petsounds i am using a usb though, i dont know if that makes a difference. [05:48] Dravekx: it should work if you are logged out if the machine is still running [05:48] Flannel: dude, I should have checked there. All the options I want are commented out. I *think* thats a change, but maybe not. thanks [05:48] Netflix.. still can't watch views online on linux... but hey, if you go by a Nokia cell phone you can... wtf [05:49] views=movies [05:49] jacquesdupontd: Start with one and resize it if there is space, it would be a pain to get 90% done and run out of space [05:49] Jordan_U, i was saying that just to be able to use boot disk creating in applications [05:49] Jordan_U yes, it turns out i had already done that when trying to fix it myself, but my guess is that i have applied so many fix's that its actually becoming my problem. [05:50] TonyTheTiger : then whats the error? do you have separate /home and / partitions? [05:50] so i tried to reinstall ubuntu to start a fresh but now im getting a grub problem, Jordan_U [05:50] Jordan_U, you're scaring me a bit in fact cause i'm seeing that my partition is using moe than 4 gigs [05:50] dublued2, do you know if there's a way to export the Package Manager list to compare LiveCD to my install? [05:50] Dravekx-> u may also try #ubuntu-server channel [05:50] hey whats this maintenance mode ? [05:50] jacquesdupontd: How much more? [05:50] Jordan_U, you know what is the size of a fresh simple installatino ? [05:51] petsounds when i boot up my laptop it says "GRUB Loading", "error:file not found" and then it loops on "grub rescue>" [05:51] !clone | rymo [05:51] rymo: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.manifest is a list of all the packages in the liveCD [05:51] rymo: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [05:51] remmina is great rdp client http://sourceforge.net/projects/remmina/ [05:51] just share [05:51] jacquesdupontd: No, but I'm pretty sure it's under 4 GIG ( if only barely ) [05:51] in 9.10 the settings have changed regarding disabling mouse pad. the only option there is now seems to be to disable mousepad while typing [05:51] Ok so if my wifi is sending packets out but not receiving them is there a way I can tell it to open up to receive packets? [05:51] Ive already used rfkill unblock all [05:51] mobi-sheep, Flannel - thx. [05:51] what's a good linux application for making swf animations for sites like newgrounds? [05:51] and now when im trying to boot live usb it says "mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted: /tmp" [05:51] * crink really enjoying remmina! [05:51] Jordan_U, i know why it was never stopping cause i was getting propriety window of the "/" partition and it's reading all in /media and counting also the data [05:52] jacquesdupontd: Use "df -h" [05:52] how do I change the compiler used in ubuntu 9.10 [05:52] jacquesdupontd: That will give you an accurate amount immediately [05:52] Jordan_U, ok i didn't installed that much thing i'm gonna find the way, if you could at the same time find the good command for tar that would be perfect [05:53] Ok so if my wifi is sending packets out but not receiving them is there a way I can tell it to open up to receive packets? [05:53] Ok so if my wifi is sending packets out but not receiving them is there a way I can tell it to open up to receive packets? [05:53] Ive already used rfkill unblock all [05:53] i keep getting error "stdin: error 0" [05:53] unknown filesystem type 'devfs' problem occured while installing new kernel 2.6.24 and kenel panic sync problem [05:54] I'm sorry I don't understand. Why is syntax highlighting for python in VIM pulling libruby1.8 as a dependency? What am I missing? [05:54] help plz [05:54] leo_: what version of ubuntu are you using? [05:54] lstarnes: 2.6.24.24 [05:54] Jordan_U, ok i'm using 6.6 gigs there must be shitty download gonna check all my personal directories [05:54] !repeat | c0ld [05:54] c0ld: 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. [05:54] leo_: no, what version of ubuntu [05:54] leo_: lsb_release -a [05:54] lstarnes: sry ubuntu 8.04 [05:54] I have ubottu... [05:54] just making sure my question was thrown out there [05:55] is there a way for me to list dependencys fro apt? [05:55] I didnt mean to spam it I accidently pushed the up arrow key [05:55] leo_: are you using a kernel package or are you building it from source?

[05:55] lol [05:56] Jordan_U, oh crappy shit, my /home is taking only 2, it does means that a fresh install with update just made after is taking 4.4 gigs [05:56] leo_: make sure you have devfs enabled in the kernel [05:56] HA! I got it [05:56] stupid router. lol [05:56] Jordan_U, amazing no ? all that data comming out from a siomple cd [05:56] jacquesdupontd: Run "sudo apt-get clean" [05:56] Jordan_U I have completely botched my ubuntu install... how do i fix it? [05:56] Jordan_U, i did [05:56] lstarnes: but devfs is removed from kernel versions 2.6.* series [05:56] TonyTheTiger: I don't know [05:56] TonyTheTiger, just reinstall ubuntu [05:56] when I do System/Administration/Update Manager I cant see 9.04 disribution, mine is 8.04 now [05:57] lstarnes: its mentioned everywhere [05:57] that's how I fix major problems, just start over [05:57] quick question: [05:57] oddhyena how? I keep getting an error when i try to re-install [05:57] TonyTheTiger: You are incredibly unlucky [05:57] leo_: then why is it trying to use devfs? [05:57] TonyTheTiger, did you reburn a new ubuntu CD? [05:57] Jordan_U tell me about it *sigh* [05:57] ubuntu 9.10 is my only operating system, but I want to reboot into single user mode [05:57] leo_: I'm stumped [05:57] TonyTheTiger: did you run the disc check in the installer to make sure your disc burned correctly? [05:57] how do I upgrade to 9.04 [05:57] lstarnes: yeah thats problem.. i didnt understand [05:57] one: what are you using now? [05:57] solved, thanks [05:58] Jordan_U, i even did sudo apt-get autoremove but there's nothing, as i told you i like when my system is perfect for me [05:58] grub automatically boots into normal mode and I can't stop it [05:58] lstarnes: 8.04 [05:58] insm0d: Hold shift at boot [05:58] one: upgrade to 8.10 then to 9.04 [05:58] oddhyena heres the deal, i am using a usb not cd. I had 9.10 and tried to fix a driver, so now i know a fix i tried to re-install to start fresh but am getting a grub error. NOW if i use live usb or even install option, i get loads of errors and problems. [05:58] i installed a new distro and my old /home has users who werent added to /etc/passwd during the install. how do i add them back so they can login? [05:58] thank you, I'll try that [05:58] lstarnes: 8.10 sucks, i dont want that [05:58] Jordan_U, i'm gonna find a wat but if you can tell me the tar command would be much appreciated [05:58] there seems to be no escape from the hell known as linux lol [05:59] how can I upgrade to 8.10 lstarnes [05:59] jacquesdupontd: You could use debootstrap to install to the flash drive just the packages you want [05:59] one: i'm running 8.10 - it's quite good [05:59] is there a way to md5sum a usb drive [05:59] one: you can't go straight from 8.04 to 9.04 [05:59] Jordan_U, my eyes are closing and i have to get woke up in 30 [05:59] TonyTheTiger, was something modified on the USB drive? [05:59] lstarnes: 8.10 doesnt work on my school network [05:59] QUICK QUESTION??? http://pastebin.com/d39032c83 [05:59] lstarnes: how do I upgrade to 8.10 then ? [05:59] http://pastebin.com/d39032c83 this is what is displayed to me... [05:59] oddhyena not to my knowledge. [05:59] is there a way to md5sum a usb drive? [05:59] oddhyena i get the stdin:error 0 [06:00] i did do the memory checker thing and that said it was fine. [06:00] one: if you want to upgrade, gotta two two steps - first upgrade to 8.10, then upgrade to 9.04. but it may be better (and produce a stabler system), if you just back up your data and do a fresh install... [06:00] im trying to transfer a file to another HDD in my computer with another ubuntu install on it from my laptop. how would i do this [06:00] one: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades [06:00] Jordan_U, deboostrap ? it's a version on ubuntu live cd where you have more choices of the packages you install ? [06:00] nanotube: no time to do fresh install [06:00] is there a way to md5sum a usb drive? [06:01] one: if you won't have net access in 8.10, go ahead and download the 9.04 alternate cd. once 8.10 is installed, you can used that cd to upgrade to 9.04 [06:01] jason: can you do it from the ubuntu install? [06:01] one: can't be much slower than doing two sequential upgrades. probably even faster, if you already have the livecd of 9.04 handy. [06:01] http://pastebin.com/dc2cc418 hey can anyone tell me what is causing this? [06:01] Jordan_U, ok i noted all that explanations and solutions and will take it all in mind when i'll do it back home when we get up [06:01] jacquesdupontd: No, it creates a minimal system that you can chroot into and install more from [06:01] Jordan_U, thx a lot [06:01] anyone? [06:01] jacquesdupontd: You can use the alternate cd for that though [06:01] Jordan_U, ok but it's a ubuntu distrib is it ? [06:01] !alternate | jacquesdupontd [06:01] jacquesdupontd: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [06:02] no. i have 2 installs of ubuntu. one im om right now adn the other one on my laptop hdd that im tryiong to transfer the file to. its over 100 gb so i dont wanna do it over the network.

[06:04] nanotube: good idea [06:04] c0ld: and someone told you 48h ago that you are affected by a known bug. what has changed since then? === JJman6__ is now known as JJman === eca is now known as dhimas [06:05] how to install karmic ubuntu and kubuntu netbook interface in ubuntu karmic [06:06] And switch among those [06:06] ravindu : #kubuntu [06:07] i want both ubuntu and kubuntu netbook interface [06:07] so #ubuntu [06:07] help [06:07] :D [06:07] plz [06:07] jason: sudo [06:07] a known bug? [06:07] who told me? [06:07] no one told me anything... [06:07] i got a bad sector in ntfs partion [06:07] Jordan_U, yeah could be cool i was thinking about at the same time maybe make my own distribution, not to distribute on the net but for freinds that have kinda sale uses of a computer [06:07] Markus-vn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:07] sale=same [06:07] you all are just mad cause I have the complicated question and u all have the simple questions...lol [06:07] KushVapors: I don't *think* so because md5 sum is a pretty simple calculation and the data describing file structure in the .iso would throw it off.. tbh I dont know how you are supposed to check a bootable usb stick for corruption [06:07] c0ld: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:07] jacquesdupontd: You don't want to create your own distribution, but you would be amazed what changing the default installed packages can get you [06:07] irclogs/2009/Freenode/#ubuntu.11-03.log:19:41 < rictec> c0ld read http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1816345.html [06:07] umm I cant read that [06:07] its says forbidden [06:07] Karmic koala is still asking for a password to my shared windows network files... why? [06:07] c0ld: maybe someone else reported a bug? [06:07] Bryce1 do you have a ~/.smbcredentials file [06:07] can you give me an example of the command.i want to tranfer a whole directory to the mounted partion [06:07] jacquesdupontd: If you are here tomorrow I can walk you through installing via debootstrap [06:07] how can i fix a bad sector in hDD with linux ? [06:07] c0ld: seeing that rictec found it when you were asking about the issue, it seems pretty clear the bug pre-existed your complaint. [06:08] Markus-vn: If it has a bad sector, that the drive has not remapped itself, then your drive is probably well on it's way out [06:08] ravindu: "sudo aptitude search ubuntu | grep netbook" --> List the packages that you could *install* [06:08] thanks [06:09] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [06:09] Jordan_U: how can i fix it ? [06:09] ravindu: "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-netbook-remix kubuntu-netbook" would install both. You should consider sticking to one. ;) [06:09] Jordan_U: just like a usb :D [06:09] can you give me an example of the command to transfer a whole directory to the other install [06:09] for the switcher [06:10] Markus-vn: You can't, and you should back up all of the data on that disk while you still can [06:10] jason: Do you want to transfer files using nautilus? [06:10] jason: can't you find it in nautilus (file manager) and copy/paste [06:10] Jordan_U: i can open file to back up [06:10] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [06:10] Jordan_U: i mean i cant [06:11] jason: Paste the output of "ls -l /media" in the terminal. [06:11] Jordan_U: Disk Analizer can open it,but Nautilus Doesn't [06:11] wow...

Why all buttons in the VPN tab are grey? http://kurtkraut.net/images/vpn.png [06:21] HBX: i think it figured it out.. it seems like it requires a captcha now which empathy doesn't seem to support.. #pidgin says to update but i think im pretty recent.. have to try and find the version # now [06:21] KurtKraut: You need to install a vpn plugin via synaptic [06:22] Jordan_U, shouldn't this plugin come installed by default? It is a usability problem, don't you think? === homer is now known as Guest50245 [06:22] then its not broadcasting [06:23] KurtKraut: Not everybody do use VPN. In that case, we would install all packages there are on Ubuntu repository servers. :o [06:23] Anyways if anyone can address me with advice on a direction to go with this it would be most appreciated! Thanx PROBLEM:http://pastebin.com/dc2cc418 [06:23] !vpn | KurtKraut [06:23] KurtKraut: From more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [06:23] c0ld: you don't need to keep repeating [06:23] mobi-sheep, in that case, a VPN tab shouldn't appear in network-manager :D [06:24] c0ld: I have read it, but I have no idea how to resolve it. Try asking again in 15-30 minutes if you still don't get an answer or try posting it on the forums [06:24] well new ppl enter the chat.. maybe they smart enough to answer the question [06:24] help, i mucked up. what character encoding (some version of 'Western') does firefox default to in English/US installs of ubuntu?

Compiz settings are on "medium." Any idea why this is? [06:24] ðóññêèå åñòü?

[06:35] However, this morning I got an e-mail that it's been included in softpedia ( http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Video/qTimelapse-51996.shtml ). and on the softpedia page there isn't anything that shows this software doesn't work. What should I do to make people not download it and be disappointed? [06:35] yes [06:35] DexterLB: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Softpedia links to the bzr branch it seems [06:38] I tried installing all of the drivers under the hardware drivers window [06:38] ok [06:38] say i have a dual gpu system consisting of the following: Integrated: Intel GL40/GM45/GS45 Chipset and ATI Mobility Radeon 3470 (256MB) - which one will most likely have the least amount of problems with ubuntu 9.10? [06:38] brian_: what does it say before it moves you to a command prompt? [06:38] jtan189: none should have problems [06:39] brian_: as in does it print out any error message? [06:39] Sorry, I don't remember [06:39] I don't recall any errors [06:39] hm.. so my intel gpu isn't the reason its been overheating and auto shutting down? [06:39] But there is about 1/2 a page of loading items [06:39] Before it hangs [06:39] Then I press Alt-F1 [06:40] jtan189: could you rephrase your question again [06:40] any reason for my boot time to actually increase after upgrading to 9.10? [06:40] brian_: when you get to a console, type startx and see the error [06:40] brian_: from the shell type: ps -a | less and then take note of all instances of X [06:41] i tried that and it didn't load [06:41] what is the likely reason my computer has been automatically shutting down when using ubuntu 9.10? (it seems hot - maybe overheating and vista on the same system does not have the same problem - so i don't think it's a hardware issue) [06:41] then send them all a kill signal: kill -9 [process number] [06:41] exodus_ms: did you upgrade or clean install? [06:41] then try: startx [06:41] jtan189 how long does the machine stay booted up before it auto shuts down?

[06:42] !ubottu sorry [06:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubottu sorry [06:42] jtan189: check the logs ,dmesg.log [06:42] yeah it was a fresh install [06:42] didn't think to check the fans though [06:42] exodus_ms: the upgrade didn't change the grub from 1.5 to 2 which is where part of the faster time is supposed to come from. [06:43] is there any problem when upgrading jaunty jackalope to karmic koala using local repositories [06:43] running_rabbit07: grub has nothing to do with the faster boot i believe [06:43] kermit_ there is not, no [06:43] kermit_ I was able to upgrade without any issues [06:43] Whats the best messenger for ubuntu 9.04 [06:43] running_rabbit07: The lack of timout only saves 3 seconds [06:44] is there any bug in karmic koala? [06:44] kermit_: Many [06:44] sure [06:44] DeaD_LocK: pidgin [06:44] dead_lock its personal preference... i like to use pidgin or empathy === hemanth is now known as g33k [06:44] I did a clean install on one of my machines that has an old Intel P4 and it boots fast than my AMD 64 dual core that I upgraded [06:44] kphidden: hey amigo! do you have 10 secs to help me out on something? [06:45] : Okay i will give them a go and see what I think :D [06:45] kermit_: like what, I'm 100% certain there are many bugs, no program is perfect, but you may be hard-pressed to encounter any serious problems [06:45] !ubottu [06:45] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [06:45] do uprefering clean install or upgrade? [06:45] someone help me, ubuntu has made my laptop unusable, nothing boots anymore. [06:45] b0w: im probably not going to know the answer, i dont know much about gnome, but shoot [06:45] dead_lock... sounds good! [06:45] i have tried empathy, i don't like it. [06:45] indus: seems unlikely it would be a processor issue though, since i didn't have this problem with ubuntu 8.10 [06:45] not sure who to address on this follow up since there seems to be some debate, perhaps someone could point me to where I could find information on how the boot time is faster in karmic, what has changed? [06:45] JECHO hopefuly it will be :) [06:45] jtan189: hmm, hard to tell [06:45] jtan189: can open case and check [06:45] dead_lock :) [06:46] why pidgin replace with empathy? [06:46] kphidden: its about pidgin i found a solution for the timeout but im not sure if its going to work, its on this web http://gratis.net/pidgin-2-5-3/ almost at the end [06:46] jtan189: i suggest you check the logs , system>admin>system logs>dmesg.log [06:46] I don't like it either kermit_ [06:46] I'm running Kubuntu (version from last year) and want to install current Ubuntu ... I have a new install disk but can only see the files on it and can't figure out how to boot from it. Help? [06:46] kermit_: I'm imagine a massive ideological struggle [06:46] *imagining, even [06:46] indus: alright, will do [06:46] but installing pidgin and uninstalling empathy was easy enough [06:47] twobits, pardon me i cant get your mean [06:47] empathy feels like a total clone of pidgin, they shoulda made it nicer, more like adium [06:47] reinstalling ubuntu 9.10 has cause the laptop into a grub error, when i try to use a live usb it faces many errors and hangs... someone help me, im pulling my hair out here DX [06:48] exodus_ms: you can always start a thread in the UF cafe area. [06:48] b0w: i think that will work. i think the blogger got that info from dev list here: http://pidgin.im/pipermail/commits/2008-October/010185.html [06:48] kermit_: http://blog.ibeentoubuntu.com/2008/08/gnome-has-empathy-for-you.html [06:49] running_rabbit07, do I follow you correctly, when upgrading to karmic, grub2 is not the default? the increased boot time I was expecting is because my upgrade did not include grub2? [06:49] empathy sucks [06:49] b0w: meaning edit ~/.purple/gtkrc-2.0 and add gtk-tooltip-timeout = some_number_in_ms (not 0) [06:49] kermit_: I think it might be because Pidgin is not officially part of gnome? [06:49] kphidden: thanks very much! already checked it out but i dont have that file maybe its for other version [06:49] but really I was just being a wiseguy [06:49] Guys [06:49] I get an error when trying to install ubuntu [06:49] raebodep: go on... [06:50] That is it. [06:50] ok, why does ubuntu keep pulling two IP's from my damn router? [06:50] Dravekx: Wireless and Wired? [06:50] b0w: i think if you make the file it will work fine. Talked about in pidgin faq: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin#WhatisagtkrcfileandwherecanIfindit [06:50] raebodep: well, what sort of error? let's start there [06:50] kphidden: yeah i got that but i dont have the file gtkrc-2.0 on .purple [06:51] is it like an error dialog [06:51] #b0w just try making it [06:51] kphidden: ahhh i get it now ill try that [06:51] Just a sec [06:51] or do you not even make it to the boot up, for example [06:51] grub has messed up and now i cant boot live usb at all... i cant boot anything now. Please help. [06:51] kb0odu, wired.. I setup "TheUbuntuServer" for IP PASSTHROUGH, and my router keeps assigning it two IPs. [06:51] I think that played a big part in it. I could be wrong though. I am just comparing the 2 systems I have and getting those results. [06:51] it must see two NICs somehow. Or two mac addresses. [06:52] kb0odu, impossible.. there's only 1 NIC. [06:52] what's a good graphic program, i want to make a star field based on a data set. GIMP isn't it [06:52] kb0odu, I have ddclient setup for dyndns. [06:52] i cant install ubuntu i get loads of errors. [06:52] what are the two IPs? [06:52] I just installed eclipse 3.5.1 on karmic using the software center, but it's an outdated version [06:52] darlek: Inkscape? [06:53] I have a problem installing ubuntu, it says [06:53] mobi-sheep, will it take data? or is it another paint program? [06:53] how do I update it? the only two solutions I can find entail either downloading a completely new install and running it from a different directory, or using its built in update which says it can't find any updates [06:53] darlek: I made a restaurant menu with inkscape on my first try. It was not too hard and it came out nice. ;o [06:53] kb0odu, but the router is trying to assign it 2 IPs, and then declines the local IP. ( 1st IP is 192.168.1.13, and the other is 66.21.215.139 ) [06:53] raebodep: that's it? [06:53] Wait [06:53] Sorry [06:53] Hi all, any idea on how to solve the login-screen Enhance contrast bug in Karmic ? [06:53] 192.168.1.13 is a local IP address. === jayne_ is now known as jayne [06:54] but .13 is declined and the 66.21.215.139 isnt defined. [06:54] hold on, ill screen shot it [06:54] ..MP_BIOS Bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC [06:54] I think 66.21.215.139 is a public IP... Your router may be passing it through from another DHCP server. [06:54] darlek: I'm not sure and it should be able to take common images. [06:54] hi there, would anyone be able to assist me in updating mono? i would like to update the version in order to install opensim on ubuntu 8.10 [06:54] mobi-sheep, those types of programs are good, but in my case I have a dataset and I want to represent it as a bunch of points in a particular shape [06:54] mobi-sheep, yeah, I just have to make the image first [06:54] kphidden: nah didnt work! ill look for it tomorrow but thanks for all you help bro!

[06:55] mobi-sheep, i think i'll try science under synaptic [06:56] raebodep: I'm guessing this happens when ou try and run it from the CD [06:56] ? [06:56] From the flashdrive, but yes [06:56] I wanted to add the PPA key for some software.. the ppa launchpad link is this http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/karmic/ how do i add the key?? [06:56] kphidden: i found some archives on .purple dir im going to explore them to see if i found some string related to it [06:57] kb0odu, http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u17/dravekx/Image1.jpg [06:57] raebodep: hmm... seems to be a known bug, but they see the error and then it boots up fine... same with you? [06:57] is compiling mono that difficult? [06:57] No, it shos the error and throws me into termninal: (initramfs) [06:58] Im lost.. didnt do that with the windows server [06:58] I can't even get into live ubuntu === kb is now known as Guest58279 [06:58] shredder121: "sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 91E7EE5E" [06:59] anyone know how to fix grub error: file not found?

[07:02] raebodep: what kind of computer are you trying to install it on? desktop, laptop? [07:02] !grub2 | TonyTheTiger [07:02] TonyTheTiger: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [07:02] Laptop [07:02] avidemux 2.5.1 in karmic has trouble initializing audio , also there is no default pulse plugin for karmic [07:02] You can look that up on the Web....

[07:04] BitDefender-Antivirus-Scanner-7.6-4.linux-gcc4x.amd64.deb.run is the exact name [07:04] and it's definitely in the Desktop folder [07:04] TDGW: In the terminal, make sure you're in the same path where the deb is. Then run "sudo dpkg -i BitDef" [07:04] i have tried compiz -replace.... but i didn't work either... i'll go to #compiz channel now [07:04] Jordan_U thats my problem, that requires me booting into live-cd, i cant get live-usb or usb-install to work anymore. I couldnt even get gparted to boot. something has seriously gone wrong, and its all ubuntu's fault. [07:04] and i'm definitely running from ~/Desktop$ [07:04] i'm on a live-cd if that makes any difference [07:04] I'm installing now 9.10, but the installing-window is so small that I can't see how much it had installed now [07:05] TDGW: those two file names you wrote are not the saem [07:05] well i'll give it another shot but i've tried it every way imaginable [07:05] TDGW: The file does not exist -- probably because of typo in the filename.deb [07:05] Help please, I get the modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/modules.dep: No such file or directory error [07:05] subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: BitDefender-Antivirus-Scanner-7.6-4.linux-gcc4x.amd64.deb.ru [07:05] Dravekx: I think there might be something "funny" with the DHCP server service.

[07:06] honestly maybe i should ask the macro question i have [07:06] Would OEM install work? OR what do? [07:06] im sitting here with a unusable laptop cos of linux. [07:06] A lot of free mp3 and video clips. Other pages in social networks "Vkontakte" vk.com/reg4286668 and invite your friends! [07:06] TDGW: Are you aware that viruses only works on Windows? :o [07:06] i got infected with a nasty rootkit on my Windows pratition [07:07] so i'm running an ubuntu live-cd to scan for it and delete it [07:07] A lot of free mp3 and video clips. Other pages in social networks "Vkontakte" www.vk.com/reg4286668 and invite your friends! [07:07] raebodep: okay [07:07] mobi-sheep; what would be the best way to accomplish that? [07:07] twobits, what to do? [07:07] raebodep: It's not for 9.10, but PROBABLY still applicable anyway. and some dudes on the forums said they were having hte same problem and this fixed it [07:07] normally i'd just reinstall, but i have several years of music on my computer and no place to keep it while i reinstall [07:07] TDGW: Hmm. There are handful of antiviruses scanners in the repo. I'll check them.

[07:08] TDGW: Make your pick --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [07:08] no [07:08] TonyTheTiger: Is there anything that you can boot that gives an error other than file not found? That's impossible to get past without something else to boot with [07:08] in the comments someone mentions that unplugging the usb stick when it starts to access the hard drive and replugging it in a second later works. seems pretty dodgey but it worked for sevral people so give it a try [07:08] I installed ubuntu for a friend and he said he was changing window managers and accidentally clicked make default. How can he reset the default? [07:08] TDGW: are you trying to install that .deb while running the live CD? [07:08] can I upgrade ubuntu 8.04 to 9.10 from iso file? [07:08] vectorjohn; yes, i am [07:08] infidel2s, it automatically asks to install the individual codecs [07:09] agus: Alternate CD, yes you can! [07:09] i'm runnin the live CD right now [07:09] agus: You can't upgrade directly from 8.04 to 9.10 [07:09] and i've already tried to install AVG and Panda, but both have failed due to my incompetency :P [07:09] thorns rhythmbox hasnt been asking me that, it's just said it cant find suitable gstreamer plugin or something [07:09] Jordan_U If i try any live-usb thing it tries to load it up but ends up with lots and lots of errors. I cant boot even live ubuntu anymore. [07:09] why cannot upgrade directly? [07:09] twobits, do you mean unplugging usb? [07:09] agus, you will need to go from 8.04 to 8.10, 9.04 then 9.10 [07:09] TonyTheTiger: Why don't you have a CDROM drive, netbook? [07:10] How do I know when it reads from my HD? [07:10] Th0th, your friend can switch back at the login screen, just select the one he/she wants and make _that_ on default [07:10] yeah [07:10] Jordan_U its not a netbook but its a laptop without a cd drive, small one. [07:10] When do I unplug it [07:10] so what should I do to upgrade 9.10 and keep my apps [07:10] agus: You would need to download two Alternate-CD.iso -- I suppose. [07:10] bazhang: lmao [07:10] I have a problem with VLC. When I play videos with it the audio and video skips once in a while and I hear blipping sounds. [07:10] according to the guy, when it starts to access the harddrive. sounds dodgey, but if it's not even booting up I don't see how it could hurt [07:11] agus, which apps do you speak of [07:11] exodus_ms, ya but it's logging automatically into a WM he has no clue what's up, and can't even tell me what it is, lol, where is the default saved? [07:11] by the way, which out of all these anti-viruses do you think is easiest to install and run successfully, i'm barely able to do anything in Linux [07:11] and then you plug it back in, and *apparently* some people have seen sucess [07:11] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [07:11] out of those [07:11] I have installed some apps on ubuntu 8.04 [07:11] I think it worked [07:11] raebodep: for serious? [07:11] Am I gonna have the same problem after I install it? [07:11] TDGW: are you running the antivirus on windows partitions or what, why are you installing it? [07:11] I think so... Not sure yet [07:12] Jordan_U: actually you can upgrade from 8.04 to 9.10 [07:12] Th0th, he had automatic login enabled but he doesnt know how to switch from gnome or kde before logging in? [07:12] raebodep: ha ha ha. I thought that was totally going to fail. what do you know. [07:12] I have downloaded alternate 9.10 [07:12] It says "Loading /ubninit................." [07:12] digitalkiwi; yes, exactly. i'm tryin to remove a rootkit off of my Windows partition [07:12] vectorjohn_: Not directly [07:12] ah, k [07:12] Oh wait I think it's failing... [07:12] On Karmic, how do I make a service (like ssh) don't start on boot? [07:12] said rootkit automatically disables any programs that attempt to remove it in windows [07:12] exodus_ms, yep, he really hosed himself into a corner [07:12] dd is great at removing rootkits >.> [07:12] I just saw one of the errors, it's loading now... [07:12] TDGW: sudo aptitude install nautilus-clamscan --> Should be the easiest for you.

[07:13] mobi-sheep; will attempt, thank you [07:13] didi: np [07:13] TonyTheTiger: Is there anything that gets you to a terminal at least? [07:13] raebodep: is it still booting up, though? [07:13] mobi-sheep; sorry to hassle you, but I ran the command and it seemed to be successful [07:13] mobi-sheep; where do i go from here? [07:13] How to shield my Grup with password. [07:13] are most apps on 8.04 not supported on 9.10? [07:13] TonyTheTiger: Maybe after ctrl+alt+F1 to switch to a tty? [07:14] TDGW: It is installed.

[07:14] Hey ! How to run counter strike 1.6 on ubuntu 9.04 using wine?? [07:14] Jordan_U: Yes [07:14] But it was booting up weird, different from before... [07:14] TDGW: Then you obviously right-click on your Windows partition or the path, the folder. And start scanning. [07:14] just out of curiousity, what model is your laptop? [07:14] exodus_ms: will gksu work in a tty like that without X? [07:14] does anyone have the issue when pointing k9 copy wizard to an iso and loading it, k9 just crashes with a seg fault error? has anyone had this issue and fixed this? i cant find any good info on google to fix it. [07:14] Jordan_U what is tty? [07:15] Th0th, oh, you mean he cant get gnome or kde loaded [07:15] agus lets keep it in channel please [07:15] When I play videos with VLC it drops the audio buffer once in a while. I don't have this problem with other players. This happened after I upgraded to 9.10. [07:15] yes, most of them from repo [07:15] Jordan_U and no, this all messes up before i can reach a terminal :| [07:15] TonyTheTiger: It's a terminal that does not require X ( the gui ) to be started [07:15] mobi-sheep; not seeing it [07:15] I have downloaded wine and also installed counter strike 1.6 but when ever i'm starting it nothing happens...plz help me out guys!! [07:15] agus, then certainly most will be in 9.10 [07:15] Th0th, I thought you were saying it was loading, just not the one he wanted [07:15] raebodep: I will say, this is most definitely a kernel issue... you don't have to know what that means, but it does mean this: [07:15] TDGW: You're running Live-CD. I'm wondering if it's safe to restart panels/nautilus. [07:15] Whats the OEM option on the installation menu? [07:15] exodus_ms: I think they load just fine, but it keeps auto-logging into a WM that is probably something like ratpoison or xmonad and has no clue how to log out [07:15] TonyTheTiger: Try anything that boots reasonably far and press ctrl+alt+F1 [07:16] raebodep: it's exactly the same [07:16] Will I have to install GRUB on my Flash Drive and change Kernel settings? [07:16] mobi-sheep; why would i need to do that? [07:16] secret901, im havign the same issue, havent had a chance to try and debug it yet [07:16] it's for computer manufacturers [07:16] basically it installs it but doesn't create any accounts. it prompts for one as soon as you turn it on [07:16] what about apps from external repo? [07:16] ah [07:16] I see [07:16] happosade: http://grub.enbug.org/Authentication [07:16] kinda like when you buy a computer at the store [07:16] bigmack83_: I check the VLC messages, and it seems that the error is "audio drift is too big" [07:17] exodus_ms: exactly its something totally foreign to him [07:17] I'm getting seriously annoyed my keyboard switches from Swedish to American all the time.. Stupid bug in 9.10 [07:17] agus, which ones, specifically [07:17] TDGW: You should usually not need to. In some case, you won't see it immediately -- Which require a restart. Which it does happen occasionally. [07:17] secret901, ok i will check. can they be accessed from vlc? [07:17] anyway raebodep! you might be able to get around this by installing an earlier version and upgrading to the latest [07:17] ok [07:17] Like 8? [07:18] mobi-sheep; nevermind, it wasnt installed [07:18] suck as lampp,oracle, some programming ide [07:18] yeah like whatever the last 8 was [07:18] bigmack83_: yes, Tools->Messages, and set the verbosity level to 2 [07:18] mobi-sheep; Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "nautilus-clamscan" No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 269 not upgraded. [07:18] cause it will have an older kernel that may not have this particular bug [07:18] I notice that the /etc/fstab file is blank in 9.10... am I seeing things? [07:19] Th0th, ok, if you just installed Ubuntu, how is he logging into xmonad? did he install/configure it himself? [07:19] ok [07:19] Hope that works [07:19] TDGW: 9.10 amd64 or i386? [07:19] secret901, i dont have any messages at the moment. guess i will have to wait till it happens. ill try playing a video in the bg for a bit [07:19] i know the ubuntu is 9.10 [07:19] er, 9.04 [07:19] I intall ubuntu9.10 with acpi=off. but when I boot the system, it stop at grub loading, black screen. [07:19] bigmack83_: yes, you have to play a video to see the message [07:19] exodus_ms: I doubt he configured it, and doubt he knew what he was installing if he did install one of those, I can't figure out what he's in [07:19] I need to know how to upgrade FFmpeg of the SVN package? [07:20] TDGW: Run "uname -a" -- I'll get you the deb. [07:20] hey guys i have a quick problem, my ASUS eee top uses an intel graphics card.. i just uploaded 9.10 on it and it wont run compiz at all.. it gives me an error message.. can anyone help me out with this? [07:20] Hey I have an acer Aspire 5515 with a built in mic and Ubuntu Jackalope, by default the mic does not work, can anyone give me any ideas on how to start on fixing this little problem?

[07:20] mobi-sheep; OK, so how do i enable that? [07:21] I need to know how to upgrade FFmpeg of the SVN package? [07:21] TDGW: lsb_release -c -> jaunty ? [07:21] 8.10 raebodep: yeah, try hardy heron(8.04) or intrepid ibex(8.10) [07:21] DVD Styler says I need to upgrade the FFmpeg SVN [07:21] What [07:21] TDGW: System --> Admin --> Softwares Sources [07:21] agus, lamp and oracle certainly, you would need to specify the ide though chances are very high there is a version for 9.10 [07:21] I know I have to mess with the drivers and install a few libs but i can't remember exactly what I need [07:21] those are the versions... :P [07:22] I'm downloading LTS, twobits, is that fine? [07:22] yeah that's hardy [07:22] hey guys i have a quick problem, my ASUS eee top uses an intel graphics card.. i just uploaded 9.10 on it and it wont run compiz at all.. it gives me an error message.. can anyone help me out with this? [07:22] I need to know how to upgrade FFmpeg of the SVN package? [07:22] hardy? [07:22] is it different between upgrade from 8.04 to 9.10 and install 9.10 directly? [07:22] Hey I have an acer Aspire 5515 with a built in mic and Ubuntu Jackalope, by default the mic does not work, can anyone give me any ideas on how to start on fixing this little problem? [07:22] secret901, ok mine came up right away this time. usually doesnt start till after a bit of video has played [07:22] Th0th, i dont know, I' still a little confused as to what is going on. He can boot to a command line and try metacity --replace [07:22] does anyone have the issue when pointing k9 copy wizard to an iso and loading it, k9 just crashes with a seg fault error? has anyone had this issue and fixed this? i cant find any good info on google to fix it. [07:22] mobi-sheep; ok, i enabled the multiverse and universe option and now it's "Downloading Package INfo" [07:23] agus, of course a fresh install will be much less time consuming [07:23] ricochet what error does it give you? [07:23] bigmack83_: I just ran vlc again and reset the Preferences settings and it seems to work fine again [07:23] and yes, it's jaunty [07:23] raebodep: yeah but an upgrade from hardy to karmic (9.10) might be kinda dicey... :/ [07:23] agus: It's easier (and cleaner) if you install 9.10 directly. It is possible that you'll face obstacles if you decide to upgrade,upgrade,upgrade,etc. [07:23] exodus_ms: if that will reset metacity as the windowmanager then good deal [07:23] I need to know how to upgrade FFmpeg of the SVN package? [07:23] I don't care for 9.10 [07:23] I just want a stable working system [07:23] !anybody? [07:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about anybody? [07:23] mobi-sheep; i ran sudo aptitude install nautilus-clamscan again and it seems to be working [07:23] secret901, yea i have noticed that as well. if i go to settings and hit save the sound comes back for a bit but ends up happening again [07:23] lol [07:24] yay i was able to live usb into dreamlinux Jordan_U [07:24] *sigh* [07:24] Th0th, yeah, if that is what you want, that will replace the WM with metacity [07:24] Anybody*? [07:24] MrSiebel: It first says "searching for available drivers" then it says "The Composite extension is not available" [07:24] agus: You will want to back up your precious data first before you make any decision. :3 [07:24] oh Jordan_U, hi again, maybe you could help me again on the other issue I faced. [07:24] Help [07:24] raebodep: oh. well then yeah hardy might be a good choice because stability is the aim there [07:24] exodus_ms: very cool that should do it [07:24] hello. i'm running ubuntu 9.10 moblin remix on a 3rd generation classmate pc. it has a ralink usb wireless card. when i click on the 'networks' button, it says wlan is enabled. however, it doesn't show any networks, and if i enter my connection info manually i still can't connect. any advice? [07:24] mobi-sheep; i still don't see any options [07:25] I'm back [07:25] I was loading a DVD and DVDstyler says I need to upgrade the SVN package of ffmpeg? [07:25] MrSiebel: any ideas? [07:25] what filesystem is best to use? [07:25] sound not working in the fresh upgradation to karmic, applet shows dummy output [07:25] Just a min [07:25] OK [07:25] when I decide to install directly, do I need to re format filesystem? [07:26] mobi-sheep; i enabled it via the Add/Remove Applications program [07:26] mobi-sheep; it's running, thanks a lot [07:26] secret901, heres a clue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1086540 [07:26] What pc is it again? [07:26] TDGW: You see "Scan for viruses" now? [07:26] mobi-sheep; by the way, how realistic do you think it is to get rid of said rootkit? [07:26] yes [07:26] bigmack83_: I think my problem is gone...for now [07:26] Hi guys, I have a problem, My computer cannot install ubuntu9.10 unless with the option of acpi=off. when i finish the install, i cannot boot, it stop at the grub loading, and black screen. who can help me, thanks. [07:27] is kuala ready for us to upgrade? [07:27] dummy output sound problem in karmic [07:27] TDGW: I don't know. I never had to worry about viruses, malwares, etc since I moved over to the bright side. Those things became trivial to me and does not affect me at all. [07:27] morning folks [07:27] mobi-sheep; alright, thanks for the help [07:27] TDGW: No problem. Good luck! [07:28] since a upgraded to the karmic, when i launch qtdemo i have an altered display for the qtdemo window [07:28] Anyone have any idea how to look at this problem, nautilus locks up while copying large files over nfs until done. nautilus or nfs or bandwidth bug? === Guest30602 is now known as MaienM|School [07:28] secret901, yea i did the same thing, sound comes back. but i have done it multiple times. eventually it will drop again [07:28] bigmack83_: oh [07:28] secret901, at least it did for me [07:28] bigmack83_: you reset the settings? [07:28] hey guys i have a quick problem, my ASUS eee top uses an intel graphics card.. i just uploaded 9.10 on it and it wont run compiz at all.. it gives me an error message.. can anyone help me out with this? [07:29] ricochet you might have to edit xorg [07:29] I need to know how to upgrade FFmpeg of the SVN package? [07:29] MrSiebel: how do i do that? im sorry, i am new at this.. [07:29] to install 9.10, do I need to change my filesystem to ext4? [07:29] anyone here with the sound problem? [07:29] agus, no [07:29] agus: no [07:30] chibihogoshino, lol [07:30] mitesh: pulseaudio is a sound problem [07:30] exodus_ms: good timimg [07:30] Guys give your reviews on ubuntu 9.10 !!!1 [07:30] heh [07:30] agus: it will keep the file system you currently have [07:30] secret901, yea i opened up settings, went to audio and just hit save settings. didnt change anything. does tame thing if i choose either default sound or ALSA which is my sound card drivers [07:30] rocky: instant classic D: [07:30] rocky: its ok [07:30] chibihogoshino, karmic is giving me problem, this morning after upgrade there is no sound [07:30] Hi guys, I have a problem, My computer cannot install ubuntu9.10 unless with the option of acpi=off. when i finish the install, i cannot boot, it stop at the grub loading, and black screen. who can help me, thanks. [07:30] First things first you have to make a backup of xorg [07:30] what is basic different between ext3 & ext4 [07:30] slow or fast then 9.04?? [07:30] is 9.10 stable enough for upgrade? [07:31] bigmack83_: I went to Preferences, then hit "Reset Preferences" [07:31] guys guys [07:31] bigmack83_: then saved it [07:31] owen1 i find it more stable, but that's my hardware [07:31] mitesh: yeah i hate how karmic uses pulse audio .. it confuses the hell out of me [07:31] I personally found it pretty stable, but your mileage may vary [07:31] !filesystem > agus [07:31] MrSiebel: You wouldnt happen to have a step by step would you? [07:31] agus, please see my private message [07:31] rocky: this update is the most trouble-free update I've ever had. And it felt faster too [07:31] chibihogoshino, how do i get back my sound? [07:31] 9.10 is running way faster for me and comes with better versions of software (firefox 3.5, etc) [07:31] why my start bar always change direction when i do restart ? [07:31] yeah all the things those guys said [07:31] chibihogoshino, i tried removing pulse audio but didnt work out [07:32] mitesh: im not shur.. [07:32] chibihogoshino, pulseaudio has been in for a lot longer than karmic. you can remove it easily enough though [07:32] 9.10 is the way to go if you can swing it... but alas, some people are having trouble installing :( [07:32] Jordan_U i can access a terminal although its in dreamlinux, how can i fix my problem [07:32] why my start bar always change direction when i do restart ? [07:32] My laptop has a build in video camera... what can I use/install to use the camera? [07:32] secret901:- okies !.......from which country you belong? [07:32] Draconis, but will the sound work with alsa in karmic? [07:32] i think the problems are from upgrading [07:32] rocky: I'm from the US [07:32] infidel2s: twobits : i am scared after reading a some horror stories.. [07:33] mitesh, well, even with PulseAudio you are still using ALSA [07:33] secret901, hrmm, i will try reset but i wouldnt think it would matter. only thing i changed was video to x11 output to make the video not glitch [07:33] owen1: Halloween is over! [07:33] haha @ mobi-sheep [07:33] owen1 nothing to be scared of as long as you have /home on its own partition [07:33] and backed up [07:33] mobi-sheep; another problem, i can't seem to get the scanner to scan my entire Windows partition [07:33] Draconis, how do i fix this problem? [07:33] secret901:- cool !!..I'm from india ! [07:33] infidel2s: i don't have it on it's own partitien [07:33] when i choose it in "Scan Directory", it takes a second and says it's only scanning 8 files [07:34] owen1 i didnt either until i moved it to one, which was easy following this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [07:34] !mic [07:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about mic [07:34] TDGW: Can you see the files in your Windows partition? [07:34] infidel2s: what's the benefit of doing it? [07:34] yes, i can [07:34] mitesh, I just told you, removing PulseAudio -might- work [07:34] TDGW: Your personal files.... [07:34] !pulseaudio [07:34] ye [07:34] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [07:34] yes [07:34] TonyTheTiger: Ok, to fix the error 15 follow the directions I linked to from there, it will work fine from dreamlinux [07:34] rocky: previous updates sometimes break the audio [07:34] owen1 if you follow that guide just replace 'ext3' with 'ext4' for 9.10 [07:34] mobi-sheep; i can [07:34] since a upgraded to the karmic, when i launch qtdemo i have an altered display for the qtdemo window [07:34] ext4 > ext3 [07:35] :D [07:35] !alsa [07:35] Draconis, it didnt help removing pulseaudio [07:35] owen1 by having /home on its own partition you dont have to worry about losing all your settings/config files, desktop background, data [07:35] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [07:35] secret901: yeah right ! [07:35] rocky: so this time I tested it on two computers first before putting it on my computer [07:35] TDGW: I don't know. I never used antiviruses... Lol. Only 8 files? :\ [07:35] Doesn't ubottu have some fun easter eggs or something [07:35] i have around 221gb on there [07:35] aaaaaaaagk [07:35] I can't remember [07:35] Hi guys, I have a problem, My computer cannot install ubuntu9.10 unless with the option of acpi=off. when i finish the install, i cannot boot, it stop at the grub loading, and black screen. who can help me, thanks. [07:35] owen1 it makes reinstalling less risky and a lot easier and quicker [07:35] mitesh, did you really remove it and stop all instances? [07:35] i can manipulate them fine from Ubuntu [07:35] QuJinlong: but acpi=off at the grub boot up screen? [07:35] *put [07:36] Okay.. I need some help lol [07:36] Draconis, i did sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio pulseaudio-utils [07:36] TDGW: Try different antiviruses or different options in AntiVirus. What do you right-click? What path? [07:36] owen1: http://laserjock.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/the-myth-of-the-bad-ubuntu-release/ [07:36] what is the way to install 9.10 from iso file? currently 8.04 was installed [07:36] i open the scanner manually [07:36] choose "Directory" in button form [07:36] rocky: I had some trouble with youtube videos not having sounds, but fixed it by reinstalling the flash plugin [07:36] why my start bar always change direction when i do restart ? [07:36] a window comes up and i highlight my windows partition, click OK and it scans *7* files within seconds [07:36] and comes back with no viruses [07:37] mitesh, so, you didn't stop all the running pulseaudio sessions. you need to "killall pulseaudio" [07:37] I installed DDclient.. how do I uninstall it? [07:37] right-clicking the partition deosnt bring up a scan otpion [07:37] mitesh, how are you testing audio [07:37] secret901: gr8 dude !......flash plugins are best anyhow ..ha..ha..ha.. [07:37] I cannot mount cramfs in boot ,I used "/usr.cramfs /usr cramfs ro,loop 0 0" in fstab ,But it failed ,What's wrong? [07:37] TDGW: I see -- Perhaps it's better that you select a full path. [07:37] hello all. so I jacked something up by trying to let my dist-upgrade run while I was at work. I came home to a hard locked pc, couldn't ssh, but could ping, etc.. [07:37] TDGW: Run "ls -l /media" What do you see? [07:37] Draconis, lets try, i test by playing tracks in rhythmbox [07:37] now I'm trying to reboot, and I get an error about one or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab being unable to be mounted [07:38] mitesh, do you have a mic? [07:38] in hardy 8.04 there is a section called in /usr/share/applications - so easy to configure screen resolution and monitors - where has it gone in 9.04 and 9.10????? [07:38] My laptop has an S-video output port, and after I upgraded to 9.10 whenever I plug my TV in that port and open Display Preferences, it automatically switches to dual output, which I don't want. [07:38] mitesh, that's the worst way to start, it uses gstreamer.. which is quite finicky [07:38] (hit esc for recovery shell) - but when I hit escape (or caps lock) there's no response [07:38] Hello [07:38] mobi-sheep; it returns nothing [07:38] called screens and monitors [07:38] Draconis, yah i do have a mic [07:38] Hey, I can't kill a process [07:38] Even with kill -9 [07:38] Draconis, how do i test then? [07:38] TDGW: Oh noes. You're running Live-CD. :3 [07:38] mobi-sheep; yes, i am [07:38] hi. just installing xubuntu karmic, and i can't find windows hard drive. i'm looking in /media but still can't find the drive. please help. thanks :) [07:39] can someone tell me how to uninstall a program I installed with apt-get??? [07:39] Draconis, my sound preferences shows no hardware [07:39] mobi-sheep; what does that mean? i've heard about people scanning from a live CD just fine [07:39] its still there when listing with ps [07:39] i'm running ubuntu 9.10 moblin remix on a 3rd generation classmate pc. it has a ralink usb wireless card. when i click on the 'networks' button, it says wlan is enabled. however, it doesn't show any networks, and if i enter my connection info manually i still can't connect. any ideas? [07:39] Dravekx: sudo apt-get remove [07:39] Dravekx: apt-get remove [07:39] oh wait NVM [07:39] k thanks!! :) [07:39] i got something back [07:39] petsounds: is your windows partition in "places"? [07:39] mobi-sheep; drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32768 2009-11-05 07:38 disk drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 65536 2009-11-04 07:42 disk-1 [07:39] scrimple101: have you tried System->Preferences->Display? [07:39] TDGW: It mean nothing. Generally, anything that get mounted in linux system will show up under /media -- In your case, it's probably in different path -- but I don't know where. ;o [07:39] mobi-sheep: thanks [07:40] leprasmurf : im afraid no [07:40] mobi-sheep; i have two windows partitions on the same hard-drive, btw [07:40] mitesh, what does 'alsamixer' show? [07:40] petsounds: your sure you didn't overwrite it, yes? [07:40] owen1: No problem! I hope I helped you getting over your fears of some horror stories. [07:40] mitesh, oh, sound preferences will show nothing. sound preferences is broken without PulseAudio [07:40] petsounds: *you're [07:40] why my start bar always change direction when i do restart ? [07:41] Does anyone know how to enable bonjour support for postgresql? [07:41] TDGW: Do "cd disk" then "ls -al" --> See which Windows partition you want to scan. [07:41] leprasmurf : no i didnt. im able to boot into xp [07:41] Draconis, alsamixer shows nothing only the blank window with progran written on it [07:42] petsounds: do you know what device it is? /dev/sda1, /dev/hda1, etc... [07:42] leprasmurf : sda1 [07:42] mobi-sheep; god knows why, but cd disk returns "No such file or directory" [07:42] Draconis, even though i m having pulseaudio running it shows no drivers and shows dummy output [07:42] TDGW: In that case, you want to scan /media/disk (OR) /media/disk-1 --> Depends on the path. [07:42] mitesh, that shouldn't even be possible. alsamixer won't START if the sound card is detected [07:42] petsounds: you can try manually mounting it. sudo mkdir /mnt/win; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/win [07:42] mitesh, err... I thought you said you removed/stopped pulseaudio [07:43] TDGW: Most likely scenario? You typed something wrong. [07:43] love the new wallpaper for 9.10 :) [07:43] "cd disk" [07:43] TDGW: Yes, but are you on /media in terminal? I think you're not. Do "cd /media/disk" [07:43] hahaha [07:43] leprasmurf : fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy [07:43] right you are [07:44] TDGW: >:}~ [07:44] petsounds: try typing "mount|grep /dev/sda1" does that show anything? [07:44] and how do i proceed from there? [07:44] Draconis, this command aplay -l gives aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found... [07:44] TDGW: ls -l --> Should list all files/directories. [07:44] mobi-sheep; it did [07:44] mitesh, okay, is pulseaudio stopped though? [07:44] um: ls -la lists all ... [07:44] leprasmurf : /dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type fuseblk (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) [07:44] TDGW: If it is the partition you want to scan, then you know what you want to scan... Use /media/disk [07:44] mitesh, PulseAudio can run even though ALSA doesn't find sound cards, because it just creates a dummy device [07:44] hi [07:44] Draconis, yes i have done killall pulseaudio [07:45] mobi-sheep; alright, thanks again [07:45] petsounds: ok, can you cd into /media/sda1? [07:45] how do I generate doxygen files for libstdc++ or how do I install them? [07:45] TDGW: /media/disk-1 for that other partition. You might want to scan both anyway. [07:45] leprasmurf : yes i can [07:45] petsounds: so that's your windows partition then? [07:46] mobi-sheep; same problem, scans 7 files [07:46] ugh [07:46] TDGW: What 7 files? [07:46] im so stressed out [07:46] it doesnt say [07:46] leprasmurf : how can i make shortcuts to "places" ? [07:46] ClamTk, v4.08 Thu Nov 5 07:45:56 2009 ClamAV Signatures: 0 Directories Scanned: /media/disk Found 0 possible viruses (7 files scanned). No viruses found. [07:46] TDGW: "echo $USER" say what? [07:46] mitesh, aha. what is output of "groups" [07:47] Draconis, i hav killed my pulseaudio [07:47] petsounds: well, I'm not sure how that was mounted, whether it was something you did or fstab. if it's persistent, you can add a bookmark and that will show up in your "Places" menu [07:48] mobi-sheep; put into the terminal that command does nothing [07:48] leprasmurf : ok but i cant see any bookmark options like in nautilus [07:48] TDGW: Stressing out from using Windows and were forced to use linux for amusements? Heh. When you get your data, you should try Ubuntu a fair chance. :) [07:48] TDGW: echo $USER with no quotes? === Guest71063 is now known as trucMuche [07:49] mobi-sheep; yes, it returns "ubuntu" [07:49] Draconis, did not get that group stuff, can u please help me with that [07:49] guyvdb_: aptitude install libstdc++6-4.4-doc [07:49] mitesh, simply enter "groups" [07:49] mobi-sheep; stressing out from the root-kit and how horrible i am at Linux :P [07:49] mitesh, without the quotes [07:49] TDGW: Okay. Try "sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu /media/disk" -- Repeat for path "/media/disk-1" -- Now, try and scan again. See if it say 7 files again this time. [07:50] mitesh, actually, that probably doesn't mean anything. "audio" group is outdated, it seems [07:50] TDGW: You'll learn. Things are actually more fun here. :) [07:50] petsounds: hang on a sec, booting into a live cd 'cause of my own issues, I'll check where it is once it finishes since I can't remember off the top of my head === DBO2 is now known as DBO [07:50] can anyone show me their grub menu.lst and /etc/fstab after haven upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10? [07:50] leprasmurf : okay :) [07:50] for the text mode install, is there an option to choose what packages to be installed? [07:51] I plugged in a USB harddisk, lsusb sees it, dmesg sees it but ls /dev/sd* doesn't see it. how come? [07:51] Draconis, here is the output to groups "mitesh adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare" [07:51] enherit: If you use Minimal CD -- Yes. [07:51] mobi-sheep; yeah, i'm probably going to set up a dual-boot system as soon as i work this out [07:51] mitesh, did sound /ever/ work? It might be a good idea to do a clean install if this was an upgrade [07:51] Draconis, yes sound was working prior to the upgradation this morning [07:51] mobi-sheep; Linux is nice for when you want a vacation home that works, even if you can't figure out anything aside from the basics [07:52] hopefully i'll learn and it'll become more than that [07:52] petsounds: in nautilus, there's no menu item that says "Bookmarks"? In between Go and Tabs? [07:52] mitesh, what's "uname -a" say? [07:52] TDGW: Stop stressing, there is a logical assembly that is understood and can be viewed by any and all now, welcome to the Freedom of Open Source. It is a learning curve for certain, but that is what MAN and the Forums are for. [07:52] twobits [07:52] You still here? [07:52] mobi-sheep; that command is freezing the terminal [07:52] yes [07:52] Remember me? [07:52] TDGW: How I switched to linux? I moved all of my data over and start using it immediately. I of course faced many obstacles and things were baffling at first. Eventually I understood and started to enjoy it. ;o [07:52] yeah, did it work? [07:52] Draconis, 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 18:40:08 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [07:53] mobi-sheep; i tried that a few years ago, and i struggled for a good 4-5 months, but then i tried windows again and it was just so sinfully easy [07:53] mitesh, hmm, this bug report I am reading seems to show that's an outdated kernel [07:53] mobi-sheep: fwiw, if he's on a live cd anyway, it's probably easier to just gksudo to do whatever he's doing [07:53] plus, at the time i was all into the "GAMERZ" thing [07:53] TDGW: Really? The command "sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu /media/disk" ? [07:53] It did [07:53] yeah [07:53] Let me hug you [07:53] raebodep: aw shucks [07:53] But it didn't totally work, but at least I can get a little further this time [07:53] jrib: He want to scan his Windows partition for rootkit. [07:54] mobi-sheep: thanks [07:54] oh what was the issue? [07:54] mobi-sheep: using clam? [07:54] mitesh, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/456816 [07:54] jrib: Yes. [07:54] I'm not sure yet [07:54] Working on it [07:54] petsounds: in nautilus, there's no menu item that says "Bookmarks"? In between Go and Tabs? [07:55] leprasmurf : but it is not nautilus its thunar [07:55] mobi-sheep; yeah, that command completely freezes it [07:55] but it's all singing, all dancing ubuntu? [07:55] mobi-sheep: tried just sudoing whatever the clam scanning command is then? [07:55] mobi-sheep; my computer is whirring like crazy [07:56] twobits, it doesn't get me into ubuntu screen, it just throws me into terminal again [07:56] TDGW: CTRL + C to halt the command [07:56] TDGW: In the terminal. [07:56] But the old problem doesn't show up [07:56] jrib, do you think it's wise to "sudo whatever command"? [07:56] petsounds: hmm, didn't know you were in thunar, hang on [07:56] leprasmurf : im on xubuntu mate :) [07:56] jo-erlend: he's on a live cd trying to scan a windows partition, yeah [07:56] jrib: nautilus-clamav-thing? How would I go and gksudo that? [07:56] Draconis, how do i upgrade my kernel? [07:56] petsounds: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=957775 [07:57] mobi-sheep: don't know what that is but gksudo nautilus would be worth a try. I would probably just sudo whatever the command line client for clam is [07:57] jrib, mobi-sheep: clamscan :-P [07:57] MAN clamav === deadsoul is now known as DeaD_SouL [07:57] jrib: Good point.. [07:57] Hey there.. [07:58] mitesh, I think someone forgot to update the grub1 configuration, I suggest you just do a clean install [07:58] mitesh, unless you want to learn grub configuration [07:58] Draconis, yes it had asked me to update my menu.lst during upgradation but i refused to update [07:58] please one question [07:59] TDGW: Try "gksudo nautilus" this time -- You'll get a "disfigured" popup window. A bit different. That's because you're in root account now. Try and scan the /media/disk folder again. [07:59] mitesh, sudo update-grub will update menu.lst [07:59] Draconis, you mean the installation needs to be performed again? [07:59] mitesh, no, just do "sudo update-grub" [07:59] i want to open a port with iptables, when i finish with it, will it close automatically or do i have to close it manually? [07:59] raebodep: is there any specific problem [07:59] mitesh, but you were probably better off with a reinstall. you have the old version of grub and the old ext3 filesystem [08:00] It doesn't state anything at all. Throws me into F8 window, with (initramfs) [08:00] obiwan_: you have to close it manually [08:00] mobi-sheep: at the same time, not sure why clam would fail normally, it should have read access to everything [08:00] Draconis, yes i think menu.lst has been updated [08:00] mobi-sheep; selected Scan for Viruses... from a drop-down window [08:00] obiwan_: i.e. deleting the previously added rule [08:00] MasterOfDisaster: ok master, and could you help me to know the current status of that port? i want to let it as it is now [08:00] mitesh, you just told me you refused. did you do what I said to? [08:00] hi [08:00] jrib: It does not fail. It checked the 200+GB something partition and yet it is completed -- only 7 files. [08:00] petsounds: did that solve it? [08:00] Draconis, the whole process will again be bugging :) [08:00] obiwan_: iptables -L -vnx | grep [08:00] mobi-sheep; frozen again urgh [08:00] MasterOfDisaster: look, i read on a web i should do this iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 1935 -j ACCEPT [08:00] mitesh, did you or did you not run the command I told you to, "sudo update-grub" [08:00] Draconis, i updated my grub [08:01] TDGW: What froze? [08:01] obiwan_: /msg me [08:01] TDGW: how are you determining it is "frozen" and not "doing its thing"? [08:01] ok [08:01] mitesh, well, reboot, and you should start in 2.6.31 [08:01] mobi-sheep; the window to select "Scan for viruses..." from, the root directory that popped up [08:01] well, it's been about a minute now [08:01] Draconis, yes lets check the menu.lst file first [08:01] jrib; been about a minute and no activity [08:01] leprasmurf : i can't drag and drop with thunar :( [08:02] jrib; i'll give it a few more while i fix my clam chowder [08:02] TDGW: what an appropriate meal :) [08:02] obiwan_: Unless you do some scripting, i.e. open 8 miliseconds or whatever changing IP tables is a pretty Static thing. [08:02] sounds stupid, but my ati card is not loger supported for karmic, open drivers are ok, but i will need use cintiq in school and conect it to a bigger screen, any idea if I dont have control center? [08:02] petsounds: what do you mean you can't drag and drop? it won't let you, the cursor changes, nothing happens? what? [08:02] Draconis, well me reboot my system [08:02] hi, dear all [08:03] I did something on my ubuntu 8.04 before a year ago, that will ask for the password, if i want to mount any (internal or external) disk & usb, and when i upgraded my ubuntu from 9.04 to 9.10.. its gone.. i tried with the authorizations.. but no point.. any help would be greatly appreciated [08:03] i have a network printer Ricoh-Aficio-MP-3500 but we are unable to take A3 print from this printer any body help me for this [08:04] hi all [08:04] leprasmurf : if i drag and drop i just copying into folder :( [08:04] jrib: Do you know if the package 'chkrootkit' are designed for unix only? [08:04] DeaD_SouL, it looks like something got hosed on one of those upgrades. you can always mount by hand with 'sudo /dev/devicename /mnt/mountpoint' [08:04] mobi-sheep: yes, pretty sure it is [08:05] obiwan_: You could use UWF to do it easier. or just logiin-logout . but that is note really what you want, you want to look at IPtables manual pages. [08:05] jrib; still frozen, and haha, i just noticed that :P [08:05] petsounds: in thunar, what sidebar are you using? shortcut, or a tree view? [08:05] TDGW, mobi-sheep: try using clamscan in a terminal instead then.

[08:06] mobi-sheep: well I meant for TDGW to, just including you :) [08:06] TDGW: "clamscan --help" should list basic commands. [08:06] I need a ubuntu ISO burner please [08:06] screens and graphics in 9.10? [08:06] raebodep: Brasero works nicely. It's included by default. [08:07] Will it burn on my flash drive?

[08:10] raebodep, then MenZa 's recommendation is sound [08:10] obiwan_:okee dokee, long as you know what you are getting into, IPtables.confg is a world unto itself and is not for the faint of heart. may I suggest a backup before any alterations or changes in that.?

AVG only detect them. :-\ [08:12] raebodep: you don't - maybe you can dd the contents of the ISO to a flash drive, but I'm unaware of exactly that'd be done [08:12] TDGW, #clamav may help [08:12] raebodep: Floodbot is getting a little senile, you'll be able to speak again in a minute [08:13] bazhang; alright, i'm gonna try that, thanks [08:13] >.> [08:13] thanks for all the help everyone, i'll probably be back haha [08:13] guys, the unexpand command is not working, it doenst convert the spacing?

[09:08] indus: the only reason I have have been slamming my head into the wall is because for the last several hours I've been going around in circles screwing with fstab, menu.lst, and back and forth with a live cd because I couldn't ge tinto the recovery console with my usb keyboard [09:08] pretender: sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo reboot again [09:08] leprasmurf: hmm keyboard problems? tried restarting x? [09:09] so thats a no on help installing a linux OS over ubuntu or getting the same packages one would have? [09:09] indus: now that I've dug out an old ps2 kb, I was able to get into the recovery console and start this rebuild [09:09] leprasmurf: oh ok so now you are installing? [09:09] indus: it doesn't get anywhere near x [09:09] no... [09:09] I'd like to set resolution 1680x1050. KVM breaks EDID. How can I enforce this resolution? [09:09] leprasmurf: so what is the problem now? [09:09] please help anyone? [09:09] testi_: kvm presents a virtual graphics card, it may not support that resolution [09:09] i have bcm4306 and installed the propietry drivers however wifi does not still work. i suspect the old driver may be still working over the propietry driver. [09:09] indus: no...now I am running that dpgk --configure -a [09:09] tree7rog: hi [09:10] indus, hi [09:10] indus: it is still running, I was trying to explain everything that had happened [09:10] indus, i have bcm4306 and installed the propietry drivers however wifi does not still work. i suspect the old driver may be still working over the propietry driver. [09:10] hi all, my sound is not working since upgrade. I have recompiled the alsa according to the comprehensive faq. Stil have no sound cards. http://fmtyewtk.blogspot.com/2009/11/reload-alsa-modules.html [09:10] tree7rog: why suspect [09:10] ikonia, sorry KVM-switch not KVM virtualization software [09:10] testi_: ahhh, my mistake. [09:11] Phurl: its simple make a clean install plz [09:11] om26er, of what? [09:11] tree7rog: in synaptic there is apackge called bcm source ,installing it might help [09:11] I have been running this version of ubunut for 2 years [09:11] tree7rog: read that somewhere [09:11] and upgreading [09:11] now you want me to make a clean install? [09:11] indus, because i did a lshw and it listed the driver as b43-pci-bridge [09:11] leprasmurf: so what will running dpkg --reconfigure dp [09:11] Um.. hello? Sorry, extreme newbie to ubuntu and the community; may I get some help? [09:12] for the bcm4306 [09:12] tree7rog: check the blacklist [09:12] how [09:12] tree7rog: /etc/modules somewhere [09:12] !help | Portunus and yes [09:12] Portunus and yes: 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. :-) [09:12] im a newb indus [09:12] Portunus just ask [09:12] om26er1, is there any way to just fix my system [09:12] tree7rog: me too [09:12] :( [09:12] Oh, thank you, guys. [09:12] indus am i wrong- wont b43-fwcutter install his wireless [09:12] i dont want to reinstall. [09:13] Phurl: if i can i will [09:13] geoffmcc: he has installed drivers from hardware drivers it seems whichshould work [09:13] indus: my current theory is that during the upgrade a package went south mid-install. if dpkg completes, said package will work properly on next reboot. This is a guess, as it wasn't my idea initially, but something someone suggested and what worked for others with the identical problem [09:13] well, is there any way to see what the current issues are? [09:13] geoffmcc, thats what i want to work my wireless [09:13] http://pastebin.com/m3c7e1e77 hello, i have apache server, but it's problem with 80 port, i forwarded the port in my router. but it still doesn't work. can anyone check if the 80 is successfully working?

I have to buy a new one but i dont know which one [09:14] but something else is being loaded [09:15] coolpro1: and what happens when you do telnet <> 80 from another machine (same network) [09:15] can someone assist me please with a small problem? i have Ubuntu 9.10 and when i plug my microphone in my audio card, the system doesn`t recognize it...what can i do? [09:15] tyler_d1: i don't know. but other ports works. as u can see, 82, 8080. they works fine. [09:15] Ok, I set up VMWare and have it working, created a virtual machine to run ubuntu so I can set up php/mysql to work on a site for skool; My problem is that when I try to set up lamp-server via "sudo apt-get install lamp-server^" but it doesn't exist, along with apache2, mysql and php4/5; I can't find any place to download those packages, help? [09:15] tree7rog: 1 sec [09:15] the only problem is with 80 port. [09:15] coolpro1: to verify, is your wan ip: 78.60.27.63 ? [09:15] om26er still no luck [09:15] yes [09:15] it's my wan i [09:15] ip [09:15] what package should I install to get X-windows / gnome on a ubuntu-server ? [09:16] pretender: you wanted to remove the netbook launcher na? [09:16] chris_: why didnt you just install desktop ISO? [09:16] om26er still no luck [09:16] can someone assist me please with a small problem? i have Ubuntu 9.10 and when i plug my microphone in my audio card, the system doesn`t recognize it...what can i do? [09:16] apache is listening on 80, 82 and 8080 port [09:16] coolpro1: so whats your domain? as well, check httpd.conf and ensure that Listen is set to the correct ip. [09:16] ActionParsnip, it's a vps [09:16] tree7rog: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [09:16] chris_: so, if you want a desktop based system, you should install desktop [09:17] i didn't set ip. Just, Listen 80, Listen 82, Listen 8080 [09:17] and 82, and 8080 works fine. [09:17] pretender: sudo apt-get purge netbook-launcher && sudo apt-get purge maximus && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo reboot. shuld shure work [09:17] i forwarded all the ports to my local machine. [09:17] can someone assist me please? [09:17] chris_: if you run: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop you will get exactly the same as if you'd installed the desktop ISO, so the fact its a VPS is moot [09:17] coolpro1: what do the logs say? [09:17] apache logs? [09:17] chris_: by installing the server ISO first you have gained nothing [09:17] coolpro1: using what util did you do your port forwarding? [09:17] thanks [09:18] coolpro1: yes [09:18] Every time I log in, I get the message "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet"." I tried resetting the panel by deleting ~/.gconf/apps/panel, but that didn't help. What else can I try to fix this? [09:18] ActionParsnip: maybe his vps didn't have anything but the server ISO [09:18] how to show who is connecting to my ftp? [09:18] nothing. my i checked port, in one website, it says the port doesn't seem to be open [09:18] correct [09:18] Halabund: i got this in ubuntu moblin remix [09:18] ActionParsnip: so can the smartass remarks ;p [09:18] i am using ASL, and I forwarded port in my Speedtouch router.

[09:19] om26er1: you're aware that remix's aren't supported [09:19] DigitalKiwi: please don't [09:19] om26er1, Right after the update to Karmic it was still working. I'm not sure what broke it. I haven't changed any gnome settings [09:19] DigitalKiwi: i just really disagree with folks who install the server iso then realise they want a desktop, why can't they just install the desktop rather than thinking the server edition will give them something extra [09:19] ikonia: i kid, i kid [09:19] DigitalKiwi: please don't [09:20] ikonia: yes [09:20] ikonia: i heard you the first time, jeesh [09:20] om26er1: no problem, just checking [09:20] gonna get me klined? [09:20] coolpro1: sorry connection diedd [09:20] ActionParsnip: well as he said he didn't have a choice :) [09:21] but if 127.0.0.1:80 works, 192.168.1.65 (my local ip) works, and i really forwarded the 80 port [09:21] DigitalKiwi: its one of my pet peeves, that and not MD5 checking [09:21] it's more like my provider blocks 80 port. right?

[10:30] dame it is. have you tried crunchbang thats even faster and baised on ubuntu [10:30] jasonmchristos: the unused programs settings will just no be used, in that case you would have to setup empathy manually [10:30] jasonmchristos: you can have the configs there, it does no harm, you can also install pidgin in karmic [10:31] Is there someone here who can help me with setting up a file for your displays? xorgs-file [10:31] i see, so off hand what email program does karmaic have?

I have a intel CPU is this normal or shall i cancel the instalation ? I also have a slow connection so i don´t like to wait several hours if i did something wrong from the beginning. [10:44] BearBorg, you can have more thank 3 GB RAM [10:44] I've got more than 3 gigs now... [10:44] [Kilowatt], thats just the 64 bit immage, how much ram do you have? [10:45] [Kilowatt], I think you should cancel, that doesnt sound right. [10:45] trijntje, I've got 4 gigs now as it is. [10:45] BearBorg, than you need 64 bit to be able to use it [10:45] [Kilowatt]: 64-bit intel, core2, etc. works [10:45] knoppies: wtf. [10:45] oh? I didn't know that [10:45] Is there someone here who can help me with setting up a file for your displays? xorgs-file [10:45] Boohbah, I think its time I shut up. [10:45] <[Kilowatt]> trijntje I have 1 GB ram [10:46] How can I check the available RAM on my current setup please? [10:46] guys I still can't access the server for my favourite browser based game...it was working before I upgraded to Karmic an hour ago. used traceroute, still puzzled [10:46] BearBorg: free -m [10:46] [Kilowatt]: what kind of intel cpu do you have? [10:46] tw|masterslayer: what's the problem? just ask [10:46] [Kilowatt], than you don't need 64 bit, if your pc is quite old i'm not even sure 64 bit will work on your pc [10:46] DigitalKiwi, Thanks [10:46] or get htop, htop is awesome [10:46] trijntje: Thanks very much! [10:47] anyone know how long an idea in brainstorm takes to get moderated ? [10:47] jaka, youre welcome [10:47] DigitalKiwi, Total available is 3529 [10:47] have there been any firewall changes in karmic? [10:47] How do I explain that... I have 2 monitors and when I maximize something it expands over both monitors. That's not what I want, it has to maximize only on that screen [10:47] so I want the 2nd screen blanc [10:48] BearBorg, is that on 32 bit ubuntu? [10:48] trijntje, yes, it is. [10:48] BearBorg, than you might still have more RAM that ubuntu cannot access [10:49] not that you'd ever use it [10:49] tw|masterslayer: the default configuration under Ubuntu is to use only one of the two monitors, did you modify something? [10:49] trijntje, I'm only using 10% of my RAM as it is. So is there any OTHER advantage to a 64 bit OS? [10:49] I installed ubuntu 9.10 and realized that empathy doesn't have nickname autocompletion? or am I wrong? it's very useful on irc so I'd love to know how to do it ^^ [10:49] the only time I go over 2 gig is if I compile stuff or forkbomb myself (happens more than you'd think) albeit that's not on ubuntu... [10:49] epinky: yes I did, I changed the settings to twinview ;-) [10:50] *puzzle* Forkbomb? [10:50] DigitalKiwi: is it tought to 'ulimit'?

Or is 64bit not as stable? [10:50] Boohbah: eh probably not >.> though i use the term forkbomb loosely, sometimes i just write programs that use a ton of ram but aren't forks [10:50] BearBorg: :(){ :|:& };: [10:50] DigitalKiwi, So it appears that I should just keep what I've got then, eh? [10:50] DigitalKiwi: i see [10:51] BearBorg, don't do what Boohbah pasted ;) [10:51] <[Kilowatt]> Boohbah & trijntje: I have a intel celeron CPU, How do i change it then, shall i download another wubi? [10:51] BearBorg: that will fork processes endlessly until it hits the process limit or your machine run out of memory [10:51] <3 smiley forkbomb [10:51] [Kilowatt]: yes, you need an i386 version [10:51] LOL [10:52] that sounds bad! [10:52] Anyone here uses Empathy atm? Is there a way to autocomplete nicknames? [10:52] rahmen, Noodles? [10:52] :D [10:52] anyone know about chroot? [10:52] !chroot [10:52] chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) [10:53] Where'd they stash xorg.conf in 9.10? [10:53] momoru: /etc/X11 ? [10:53] BearBorg: what's Noodles? you know the answer to my question?

I can't find the config for these in /etc/network/interfaces but they have IP adresses and are online ... is there somewhere else I can go and look at/change their config? [10:54] momoru: karmic doest have one at all (very annoying) [10:54] rahmen, Im sorry I've only used empathy ONCE. Can you really get it to send video? [10:54] I also tried to install the networkmanager using the daily trunks, no luck [10:54] !networking | Shambat [10:54] So how am I supposed to add different resolutions? [10:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about networking [10:54] !network | Shambat [10:54] Shambat: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [10:54] Shambat: sorry let me find a better link [10:54] Shambat: they wont have entries in interfaces as nm-applet manages them, you can populate the file if you wish and it will supercede the app [10:55] hello.. am i the only one who feel that 9.10 boot time is a lot slower than 9.04??

But if I can't autocomplete nicks on irc it's really bad and I'll change app. But why should ubuntu choose to use empathy as standard im app if it's that bad? I don't get it [10:55] how to have 2 apps connected to the same network (ex gwiber and pidging both conected to facebook) without conflicts? any clue? [10:55] Is anyone else having that annoying glitch with compiz that when you log in you have to reload the emerald window decorator?

[10:57] rahmen: because there are better irc clients. [10:57] <[Kilowatt]> I just find one WUBI on ubuntu´s homepage is this correct ? Can i tell WUBI that i need the i386 kernel?

[10:59] ActionParsnip : thx! [10:59] Oh hell. I can't remember what model it is anymore. It's an nvidia. [10:59] momoru: good enough, ok run: gksudo nvidia-settings [11:00] ActionParsnip: and I dont have wireless interfaces either, and no X ... this is a server using 8.04 [11:00] momoru: you can then setup the screen and click "Write to X config file" which will create you an xorg.conf file [11:00] Shambat: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces [11:01] momoru: type this into here "/exec -o inxi -g [11:01] input: HDA digital PCBeep as /devices/pci0000:00 ........... does anyone know what this is? its taking 10 seconds to finish during boot time.....

[11:01] ActionParsnip: yes, this file has no mention of eth0, just eth1 [11:01] Shambat: you can then define the interfaces as you wish, you will have to run: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart to enable the settings [11:01] Shambat: add it then [11:01] /usr/bin/inxi: illegal option -- g [11:01] Error 7: One of the options you entered in your script parameters: -g [11:01] Is not supported.

How can I fix this ? [11:03] Shambat: you can define it in there so you know its using dhcp [11:03] ok guys so reading this rsync article it looks like i need ssh server on the desktop first is that correct?

[11:03] yes jasonmchristos [11:03] jasonmchristos: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [11:04] ok here goes brb [11:04] ActionParsnip: and what if it is set to static, and I put dhcp in interfaces and restart? [11:04] jasonmchristos: its handy to have anyhoo, you can upgrade the system remotely and even run gui apps if you connect with -X switch on ssh [11:05] ActionParsnip, yeah. I pretty much got my 9.10 installation finished a couple hours ago. I was trying to get the basics set up before I went mucking about installing drivers. [11:05] momoru: if you dont have driver thats easy to get in menu>settings>hadware dirvers. that will auto search and install corect drivers for your nvida card [11:05] When I tried to run upgrade-manager -d , I got this error ( http://pastebin.com/d4ffe408d ) Any help?

That was definately the WRONG key combo! *whimper* [11:06] Hey guys - I've just got a fresh install of karmic, but the text mode consoles (ctrl-alt-FX) just give me a flashing carat in the top left - has it been disabled in this release, or is it a config issue on my system?

I'm glad I decided to set my Dad up with dropbox rather than UbuntuOne for now - it's nearly a week after Karmic was released and Ubuntu One still doesn't work [11:10] This is quite a jump for me.

[11:11] @mgv open the extensions screen in firefox and click the configure button on the adblock plugin [11:11] breadlord, Would you like to use the Bum package? :)) [11:12] @erUSUL - the problem is the lack of a login console in text mode - not a problem with display. The display works fine [11:12] i know in linux you can create /home on a separate partition so you can install new versions of linux over your old one and still keep all your personal user settings in tact (desktop wallpaper, config files, personal data...). is there an equavilent of this in windows? [11:12] ActionParsnip, Yeah. I'm in the process of downloading and installing the nvidia driver. It's going to take a while because I'm on dialup and nvidia's drivers are always huge. Heh.

I'm trying to use it with the PikLab software available in the repos but I have to run it as root or it doesn't have permissions needed to talk to the programmer.

[12:25] <[zaf]-Coral> frogzoo, I am not too interested in the theme :) , I just think this standard one looks A LOT better [12:25] Valentina: you can boot to root recovery mode which is passwordless and edit the password for the account or even make a new account [12:25] jimlovell777: sudo chmod +s pick_binary [12:25] ActionParsnip: oh, well no it's not that they look the same, the programs look totally different [12:26] ActionParsnip: Ok, I thought it was easy to bypass logon to use another persons account (non encrypted account. I mean). [12:26] If you have physical access to the machine, cant you set in grub to boot up in bash? [12:26] ActionParsnip: I thought what you meant is that they have the same "backend" or something [12:26] Tartaros: well choose whichever you prefer [12:26] courpse: or use a live cd. === Linfinity is now known as L_ [12:26] ActionParsnip: I was more like asking about which one of them is more compatible with other parts of ubuntu [12:26] Tartaros: no like, movie player is just totem but with a noob friendly name in the menu [12:26] I heard there was some apt-diff project so that it would be possible to only download diffs of packages, is someone still working on it because I cannot find it anywhere? [12:26] Dr_Willis, yeah, this would give you access to all accounts wouldnt it thou booting into bash? [12:26] Tartaros: they are both equal [12:26] ActionParsnip: ok then fair enough, thanks :D === L_ is now known as Guest38406 [12:27] Tartaros: just use the one that suits your needs === Guest38406 is now known as Linfinity [12:27] in aptitude, how do i mark all Broken packages for removal? [12:27] i want to remove x11, and all packages that depend on it [12:27] frogzoo: That was to easy to be true..... I get this error "The KDE libraries are not designed to run with suid privileges." [12:27] courpse: for the most part. physical access to a machine pretty much lets you do most anything. inless the users got stuff encrypted [12:27] The game Nexuiz consumes more than 70 % CPU and is very slow. I think it doesn't use my GPU hardware. Any ideas how I can fix this? [12:27] can you attach files from ubuntu-bug? like if you made a gdb log or strace [12:27] jimlovell777: boo... soz, I tried [12:28] DrArcheh: no.... you don't [12:28] frogzoo: Thanks for the help, any other ideas? [12:28] Dr_Willis, Yeah, as i thought, i wasnt asking for myself, was asking in a manner that somoene else asked if someone could get access to accounts if they have access to physcial machine. [12:28] Jesi: humm? [12:28] jimlovell777: worst comes to worst, run "strace pic_binary" & see where permissions are failing [12:29] DrArcheh: that will remove the x server and you will have no gui [12:29] ActionParsnip: yep, and that's what i want [12:29] jimlovell777: it may be a matter of permissions on device files [12:29] DrArcheh: removing x11, if you do that you will be limited to just a CLI [12:30] i installed ubuntu in VMWare, using the autoinstall, which installs X by default [12:30] frogzoo: lol, when run with strace, it works but is extremely slow and unresponsive. [12:30] computerjy - for gnome-system log is it System => Admin => Log File Viewer? [12:30] DrArcheh: sudo apt-get --purge remove x11-common; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove should do it. I suggest you execute it from a root recovery console [12:30] DrArcheh: you will then have no gui [12:30] DrArcheh: your call [12:30] jimlovell777: lol, that's helpful [12:31] ActionParsnip: cheers, X isn't running currently anyway :) [12:31] cheers [12:31] DrArcheh: gotcha [12:32] im using 8.10 of ubuntu and getting some errors and want to upgrade kernel from 2.6.27-9, but i dont have access to internet on that computer.. how should I upgrade? and to what kernel should I upgrade? [12:32] DrArcheh: ok then, for future reference, why not just use the server version? [12:32] it only needs to do some transparant routing, and i want to keep the virtual machine footprint as small as possible. Could've picked some lightweight distro, or have done a manual install, but meh. [12:32] Jesi: cause i was in a hurry when i set things up :p [12:32] Hello. I have set Pidgin and Skype to start on Startup Applications. First Pidgin and then Skype. But most of the times, Skype starts before Pidgin. Is there anything I can do to preserve the order I want? [12:33] is anyone in here perficient with aMSN? I'm having some troubles geting my webcam to work. It keeps closing on me saying "session canceled". I've gone through and allowed as many ports as i can think of. I have ubuntu 9.10, firestarter, and no router. [12:33] amikrop: i'd write a script to launch one then sleep for 10 seconds, then run the other [12:34] hmm, does anyone know how i can see if a device with a specific MAC addr has been given an IP when using DHCPD? [12:34] ActionParsnip: oh, can't it be done through the interface? [12:34] talin: get macping [12:34] amikrop: I'm not sure you can but if you changed the priority of the programs, perhaps it would start the higher priority app first? [12:34] amikrop: just curious, why does one need to be executed before the other? [12:35] that's thought a thought, in theory [12:35] amikrop: you'd need to write a script and place it in /usr/bin then call that when you want to load the apps [12:35] talin: sorry - arping [12:35] Jesi: I have the priority I want but it doesn't work [12:35] ffffffffff: no reason [12:35] anyone? [12:36] frogzoo: oki, thank you [12:36] or I could have a single entry in Startup Applications: pidgin && skype [12:36] How i can run a python script? [12:36] anyway, thanks guys [12:36] amikrop: the script will be not too dissimilar to this: http://pastie.org/684671 [12:36] Ioneye: $ python script.py [12:37] thank you amikrop [12:37] ActionParsnip: well, yeah [12:37] Ioneye: if the top of the script is as it should be, you can just mark the file as executable and the interpretter will see it is a python script [12:38] Since I upgraded from, 9.04 to 9.10 (JeOS), I can no longer mount NFS shares. "mount.nfs " comes back with "mount.nfs: No such device". I've removed/reinstalled portmap and nfs-common and the problem is still the same.

I have one running Breezy, but I'm considering updating it to at least Jaunty. I don't have physical access to the machine.

[13:11] user101: wubi stinks dude [13:12] anyone else? I GET THIS ERROR: Error 1045 (28000): accesss denied for user'me'@'localhost' (using password: YES)? [13:12] Way2Death: just read it, try websearching for some interesting lines [13:12] ActionParsnip: It should work using the GUI. Will my data be corrupt not unmounting in Temrinal in the future? Do I dare to use the Nautilus option at all? [13:12] user101: i dont use wubi or advise it so i'm no help unfortunately [13:12] ActionParsnip: Ok. Thanks for help. [13:12] Valentina: a lot of stuff should work but doesnt === boran is now known as Guest3960 [13:13] Valentina: the gui is a gui to terminal so its the same difference [13:13] Valentina: its possible the thing just re-auto-mounted it for some reason [13:13] ActionParsnip: the issue is with upgrade which has caused this. jaunty was fine [13:13] user101: jaunty still has 12 months of support in it [13:13] Dr_Willis also helpless!! [13:13] Is this unusually crowded because of the new release or are most days like this? [13:14] ActionParsnip: come on .how did they release this without looking into such a major bug [13:14] sweetandy: pretty much [13:14] user101: log the bug [13:14] interesting [13:14] sweetandy: a tab more busy since the release but not uncommon [13:14] sweetandy: the newe release brings new headaches === anonymous__ is now known as gantrixx [13:15] Indeed, or so I've heard. [13:15] ActionParsnip: it's logged in that link [13:15] user101: then watch the bug [13:15] is there something like cpu-z for linux, where you can see the memory slots and the modules details [13:16] user101: try add details as you find them [13:17] hi all. can u install tweetdeck on xubuntu or kubuntu? cause i can only install it with ubuntu but right now i'm on xubuntu :( . the error msg is sth like "it seems like your machine is in very small number of machine which cant run adobe air well ". [13:17] kwork: sudo lshw -C memory [13:17] Dr_Willis: I noticed a difference unmounting in Temrinal. When doing it the flash drive was stilll visible in the Nautilus but as unmounted. When unmounting in Nautilus the flash drive disapeared. That would explain why I wasn't able to format the flash drive after unmounting in Nuatilus. Then it worked after unmounting in Temrinal because the flash drive was still there, but the fs unmounted. [13:17] petsounds: sure, if you have any gtk deps it needs they will be installed too [13:17] ActionParsnip, thanks [13:17] I think. [13:18] I have two Ubuntus. I installed openssh server and client on both. They use different modems to connect to internet. When I use "ifconfig" command, one of them shows me external IP, the other one shows internal IP. When I try to connect to the one which shows external IP using ssh, there's no problem. But when I try to connect to the other one using ssh, it waits a little bit, and then says "connection timed out". How can I solve the problem? [13:19] does anybody know of a packet sniffer that will allow me to view the full text of an HTTP transfer originating from my local machine? I'm looking to debug a web application, but wireshark truncates the text data, so I can't view the full document. [13:19] Good morning. I need a hand on deb package building. What I need is to build a package for offline installation, so it must provide some other packages. Could anyone give me a hand? [13:19] you need the WAN IP of the one behind the router to connect to [13:19] ActionParsnip, the slot DIMM1_A/B DIMM2_A/B is just slot number rather then memory type ? [13:19] kavurt: you need to use the wan ip, not the internal IP unless you are on the same network [13:20] kwork: it should give other details too like speed and amount [13:20] ActionParsnip, yes it does [13:20] ActionParsnip: I use the wlan ip, not the local one [13:20] Valentina: the gui has different options here. one is unmount, other says safely remove drive. one just unmounts the filesystem. other actually poiwers down/dissconects the device from the kernel. [13:20] optgeek, you don't build multiple debs ... you build a deb that depends on others, then you install the others ... your best bet is to distribute your deb along with its dependencies, if you plan to do offline installation. [13:20] Hello all :) [13:20] kavurt: you will need to port forward port 22 to the ubuntu system as you are using a router [13:21] er ... by multiple debs, I mean,. you don't include multiple packages in one deb. [13:21] kavurt: the router will drop the requests as there is no rule to permit it, this is the nature of NAT === boran is now known as Guest45764 [13:21] Does anyone know how to get new screen savers ? [13:21] ActionParsnip: how to forward the port? [13:21] anyone know anything about folder sharing in kubuntu please ? i've tried the kubuntu channel, but no-one seems to reply [13:21] Dead_LocK : gnome-look.org [13:22] kavurt: it varies wildly from router to router, you will have to RTFM [13:22] kavurt: some call it virtual server too [13:22] kavurt: access the routers config web page and set it up there [13:22] :Thank you :),ps- is it hard to put in or just frag and drop ? [13:22] Hello! I have one question. How can I prevent konqueror to open images. I want to use external app, but I don't want to click "open with" every time... [13:23] ActionParsnip: thanks. [13:23] :Drag* [13:23] eurythmia_: I see. But the problem is that it would be like 9 debs, and each one should be installed in an specific order to avoid trouble with dependencies. As it's for a client, the best option, if possible, would be installing a single package. I'm thinking about building a tarball with the debs and installing them with a shell script... What do you think? [13:23] Dead_LocK : its very easy. its installable [13:23] jugglerbry: right click and share [13:24] :Okay thank you XD [13:24] hello, am having problems with virtualbox. i'm running on a "custom-built kernel" x64, and the error in installation of virtualbox says "Most probably the kernel sources were not found..." i already installed the linux-headers*.deb.. any idea? [13:24] This might be a stupid question, but is it possible to use vnc from linux to windows? [13:24] joel: yes [13:24] Dead_LocK : np [13:25] joel_: VNC Client is already installed on ubuntu (vinagre) - Install an vnc-server on the windows client. Set it up and let's connect :D [13:26] hey is there any ubuntu channel where i can speak spanish? [13:26] Dr_Willis: Ah, I used the eject button visible in Nautilus. I may have removed it from kernel then. Now I think I understand what went wrong. I thought I was unmounting using the button. I should have right clicked on the device in Nautilus chosing unmount, not ejecting. [13:26] ltcabral, #ubuntu-es [13:26] optgeek, for offline installation, making a script to install the debs in the correct order seems like a sane solution.

But I was wondering, in the installation process (from the installer on the CD), there is an option to import files. What does that installer do with the files while formatting the partition? [15:44] php is just a text file with .php on the end i thought [15:44] Jack_Bauer: mv file.txt file.php [15:44] toehio: they will be removed [15:44] Dr_Willis: not for apache [15:44] llutz: so the installer doesn't actually import them? [15:44] Dr_Willis: apache is not using file, its using the ending [15:45] toehio: if they are on the target-partition, no [15:45] Learning linux is like learning to build/fix your car yourself, it's great!

[15:49] Way2Death: I guess you could download the .deb packages and burn them on a cd or use a usb drive...

Ever since I upgraded to Karmic my winbind 3.4.0 has been crashing randomly.. So I fetched and manually installed samba and winbind 3.4.2 from lucid.. seemed like the best thing to do at the time.. I manually fetched the packages and installed them with dpkg -i.. is there a cleaner way to do this? [15:50] sure i wanna b elite in linux [15:50] Way2Death, I imagine you could rebuild the CD by mounting the squashfs images and installing the packages you need, then remake the iso and burn it [15:50] hi guys [15:50] I have a laptop connected to a 3g dongle. I wish to share my connectivity over my wired network port. I want to give out dhcp on the cat5 connected to my laptop. How do I achieve this?

[16:00] hi, i have cracking/scratchy sounds, this never happened before, i do nothing. please help [16:00] cherva: Ok many people have had issues with 9.10, also there are issues that you should probably be aware of really in 9.10, so check out the releaese notes to find out about that [16:00] !notes | cherva [16:00] cherva: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [16:01] cherva: that new grub is a pain [16:01] hi i am a windows user and i want to pass to linux. i have always heard great things about linux but also that it has driver issues. is that true? [16:01] sebsebseb, no. Im doing a new install. [16:01] i have a new laptop.... [16:01] erisir: depends on the hardware you have [16:01] sebsebseb: try the livecd [16:01] erisir: lap tops tend to get hardware issues instead of desktops, when it comes to Ubuntu [16:02] izzi: uhmm why did you say that to me [16:02] erisir: some driver issue, yes. It is easier to install on older harware [16:02] ? [16:02] erisir: In recent years it's come a long way, most distros (Ubuntu included) have a "LiveCD", whih lets you run off the CD without ever having to install it or risk messing anything up [16:02] Sassinak__: will it work if I add the new kernels my self ? [16:02] So you can use that, and if that works with your hardware then it'll be fine [16:02] sebsebseb: I think he meant "Happy tab-complete-day" [16:02] Squarc, is that the correct version or.. ? [16:02] sebsebseb: its was not for you :) [16:02] Yes the live-cd thing is the best way to go, check out popular distros live-cds and test them out [16:03] Anyone know about that Empathy Gtalk error? [16:03] dewd: That should be ok... I had a wrong version installed that made it not work [16:03] ^^^^ [16:03] dewd: but you'res seems to be good, which is bad because then I have no idea what it can be [16:03] erisir: You can download the Ubuntu Live CD, burn the ISO contents to a CD after md5suming checking it to make sure you have a good download. Then boot the lap top from the CD and try your hardware. You might find that the wireless doesn't work and needs configuring for example. I assume your lap top has a wireless and you want to use it. [16:03] !md5sum | erisir [16:03] erisir: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [16:03] Squarc, so what can it be it just seems input and output are not connected somehow [16:03] cherva, I had to look up some support myself [16:03] ic [16:03] cherva, grub 1.97 ? [16:04] Sassinak__: 0.97 [16:04] erisir: Hopefuly things work well, and also you can choose to install from the CD [16:04] hey guys [16:04] i understand that is not an os issue (windows has never automatically recognized everything). i will give a tray. thanks [16:05] erisir: Well most hardware support is built in to the Linux kernel :) [16:05] there's other way instead of nohup and & to run a process on background? [16:05] Ubuntu 9.10 or 9.04? [16:05] that gives me a log of the output [16:05] pH_: hi by the way [16:05] Sakarias: hey sebsebseb [16:06] As for hardware support I found that the HP Compaq 6930p worked flawlessly even tho not all applications recognize the webcam. [16:06] <`101gfx> Is there any way to restore a norton ghost image of an HDD via the 9.10 livecd? [16:06] is there a way i can easily get current spec of a pc, ie harddrive, processor, memory from the command line? [16:06] Dravekx: ok a new install of 9.10 yes? and a LAMP set up? [16:06] sebsebseb: do you know how? [16:06] cherva: anyway, it's better to learn to edit it yourself, IMHO. old and new grub are quite different, thought. [16:07] pH_: no [16:07] :( [16:07] there's any way to run a process on background giving me a log without nohup [16:07] ? [16:07] ex-chat [16:07] Dravekx: by the way for proper servers, the Long Term Support and server edition would be recommended [16:07] advowork: are you looking for make and model or free space on harddrive, cpu load and free memory?

[16:08] !ask | apparle [16:08] blue, total hd size, total cpu, and memory, ie just trying to find the spec ie 2.6ghz dual, 250gbhd, 2gb ram, that kinda thing [16:08] apparle: 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. :-) [16:09] advowork: df -h && cat /proc/cpuinfo && free -m [16:09] AdvoWork, "cat /proc/cpuinfo" will give you CPU information, "free -m" will give you memory in MB. "df -h" will give you partition size info. good luck. [16:09] soundstopped: Ok many people have had issues after upgrading 9.04 to 9.10. A good idea would be to try a clean install. [16:09] sebsebseb: not an option [16:10] soundstopped: Why not? [16:10] no place to backup all files (no more space) [16:10] how do I set quickly to edit with geany by default and not gedit? [16:10] hi [16:11] soundstopped: Buy an external hard disk maybe, or use Ubuntu One? [16:11] SO, NO ONE ON ENCRYPTION? [16:11] JAMMING CAPSLOCK?? [16:11] ...speaking of cpuinfo.

[16:19] Squarc, that doesn't work i just get a > promp [16:19] advowork : looking at manpages i would confirm that [16:19] fwiw it worked under jaunty [16:19] *prompt === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [16:19] can someone help me get my sound working on a dell vostro [16:19] Thanks... I'll ask again in a few more minutes [16:19] @wrgb my mic is not working in karmic [16:19] mekhla: proberly wont notice a differance if its at end or beginning [16:19] Marchingknight11: Sound isn't really my area, but did you upgrade 9.04 to 9.10? Did you ever have 9.04 on there with the sound working? [16:19] How can I change fonts (or size fonts) from KDE apps in ubuntu, Like Amarok, KDEsnapshot, etc...? [16:19] I'm having trouble with sound as well [16:19] it was ok in jaunty [16:19] Are there any "on access" real time antivirus application for Karmic out there that you can recommend? [16:20] http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1432564&cid=29995596 - oh joy [16:20] apparle: I see. I will get out of your way then. [16:20] RhettAllen: see what I just put to Marchingknight11 that can be for you as well [16:20] oops [16:20] is there a way to add virtual desktops in NBR? [16:20] sebsebseb: i used to have 9.04, the sound didnt work there either, i did a clean install of 9.10 [16:20] um. well. read the story :( [16:20] hello. [16:20] i can listen music but i can not record anything [16:20] i'm not figuring it out [16:20] When I want ubuntu netbook remix, should i download the karmic-netbook-remix iso or the karmic-netbook iso? [16:20] I am completely new to linux so 9.10 is my first version. [16:20] No1Viking: ive never really noticed any such things for linux. Most AV software for linux is designed to look for windows viruses. [16:20] Marchingknight11: ok not an upgrade issue, sound issues have been pretty common since Ubuntu 8.04 when pulseaudio got introduced [16:20] my problem seems very odd [16:20] RhettAllen: so a clean install of 9.10? [16:21] yep [16:21] let me explain the problem [16:21] Dr_Willis, I know but it's needed [16:21] shohan: right-click on the volume control, select sound preferences, select output, see if it's turned up or if it's muted [16:21] sebsebseb: i know but i was wondering if anyone was aware of a workaround [16:21] Marchingknight11: maybe useless, but [16:21] usually no mic is actually muted mic if the mic was avail before [16:21] so what should we do...is there any solution...i need to use skype but because of these i m fucked up [16:21] !sound | Marchingknight11 [16:21] Marchingknight11: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [16:21] No1Viking: i dont have a need for it. :) but then again . i rarely use such stuff in windows either. [16:21] <[1]`101gfx> If I type find /boot/grub/stage1 I get hundreds of entries of (hd0, xxx) [16:21] !language | shohan [16:21] shohan: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [16:21] How can I change fonts (or size fonts) from KDE apps in ubuntu, Like Amarok, KDEsnapshot, etc...? [16:22] when I play one source of audio, it sounds like 10kbps mp3 or something (high-pitched/ low quality). When I play two... it sounds perfectly fine. It could be my music player and a movie and it works. [16:22] HaguMe: you could run the kde control center/apperances tool i guess. [16:22] RhettAllen: have a look at the sound links above, might be helpful [16:22] shohan: did you see my last post? [16:22] Dr_Willis, I will not be allowed to put the computer on the LAN if I have not got a antivirus app [16:22] Hello. I'm having problems with wireless after upgrading to 9.10. Ubuntu doesn't seem to recognice my wireless card. Any soloutions? [16:22] ubottu: can you redirect me to a room where I'll find help with encryption ?

Is there any software for such ? [16:23] Sassinak__: Ubuntu is a female bot not a person, as in a computer program, but a female one apparantly [16:23] ubottu: hey [16:23] 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! [16:23] !gender | Sassinak__ [16:23] Sassinak__: yes, I can confirm I am a female bot :) [16:23] ubottu: double clicking volume control does nothing.. when i right click and enter sound properties there is no file menu [16:23] Sassinak__, how do i view all the shared files on the lan [16:23] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:23] No1Viking: theres clamav and avg.. are all i know of. so good luck., [16:23] so i m really happy to be a part of irc [16:23] like vmware or so alternative ?

[16:23] Dr_Willyi: I can't I'm on Gnome [16:24] Dr_Willis: I can't I'm on Gnome [16:24] Marchingknight11: do you have alsa as default sound? [16:24] gnome sucks [16:24] lol [16:24] jk [16:24] Dravekx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:24] No1Viking: thers 'security' then theres 'false sence of security' - Neither of those AV tools do much more then look for windows viruses in files. Theres not enough linux viruses out to really worry about. [16:24] Where do I change which window manager gdm should use, from the command line ? I am using xfce and want to go back to gnome/metacity [16:24] almoxarife: i dont kno0w how do i check [16:24] Graviton, how do i view all the shared files on the lan [16:24] How can I change fonts (or size fonts) from KDE apps in GNOME, Like Amarok, KDEsnapshot, etc...? [16:24] HaguMe: you can insstall and run kde apps on gnome.. if you know the proper command to run the kde settings tool. [16:24] tree24: you're going out of my expertise....there is something called samba, wich works great... [16:24] Dr_Willis, I know [16:24] tq [16:24] shohan: glad you like it -- put my name in front of your post - use the tab key to autocomplete after you type the first few characters [16:25] tree24, did you use smb://192.168.0.40 ? === tree24 is now known as suleman [16:25] KDE settings tool? which name do I need to install it via apt-get? [16:25] Trap2, but i dnt know the ip name [16:25] what the difference between karmic-netbook-i386.iso and karmic-netbook-remix-386.iso? [16:25] wrgb_ok...like this? [16:25] is there a way to get gnome to automatically mount a network share on login? [16:25] almoxarife: i am not sure how can i find out [16:26] trijntje: Possibly nothing - check the hash. Otherwise, one might be KDE. [16:26] wrgb_ where i can find ur post? [16:26] Dr_Willis, Is there some software that can view a list of IP and there shared files ? [16:26] Marchingknight11: install package gnome-alsamixer and try using it, I have alsa as default sound and that is the only way I can control sound hardware [16:26] pipegeek: what kind of network share? Samba, nis? [16:26] Trap2, haha [16:26] Marchingknight11: same here [16:26] Trap2: if you mean samba shares - thers dozens of tools to do samba stuff. 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' are 2 i use a lot [16:26] Trap2, lol [16:26] almoxarife: alsamixer is installed and working properly [16:26] tonyyarusso, hash is different, how can i find out if one is kubuntu? [16:26] shohan: yea, right-click on the volume control and choose Prefences, select the input tab and make sure the mic is turned up and not muted [16:27] samba. I mean, I know I could just add a call to mount-gvfs to "startup applications", but I'm wondering if there's a prettier way to do it [16:27] ritesh [16:27] trijntje: Where are you getting them from? [16:27] Marchingknight11: what shows as muted in gnome-alsamixer? [16:27] Dr_Willis, Actually my LAN is full of windows system and i want to view there shares at many occasions ? [16:27] <_rash7> where the configure script check for libraries [16:27] wrgb_yah it is not muted [16:27] almoxarife: only beep [16:27] Trap2: try the 2 commands i gave [16:27] Dr_Willis, same question as trap2 [16:27] tonyyarusso, http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ [16:27] it'd be nice if there was a "do this automatically on login" checkbox in "connect to server..." [16:28] pipegeek: sure, go to places connect to server, select connect to server and select windows share [16:28] ah === Trezker_ is now known as Trezker [16:28] you could always mount shares from fstab :) [16:28] sure [16:28] tonyyarusso, the ubuntu.com site gives the -netbook-remix for download, so i suppose thats the gnome one [16:28] Marchingknight11: what does not work? [16:28] Dr_Willis, wats fstab [16:28] i wonder if that fusesmb thing is working nowin 9.10 [16:28] not using the gnome password manager, tho [16:28] suleman: somthing you should learn about. :) [16:28] How can I change fonts (or size fonts) from KDE apps in GNOME, Like Amarok, KDEsnapshot, etc...? [16:28] there is absolutely no sound [16:28] !fstab | suleman [16:28] suleman: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [16:28] almoxarife: there is no sound [16:29] !fstab [16:29] suleman: ! stuff are bot commands to trigger he bots url factouds.. read the url the bot gave. :) [16:29] pipegeek: i suppose that fstab is probably the best way to go in that case [16:29] trijntje: ah. Probably right, yeah. You could also check the Kubuntu sites for the hash and see if it matches what they've posted. [16:29] hello anyone that knows how system comunicates with buttons? [16:29] Marchingknight11: all volume indicators are max'ed out, all!? [16:29] pipegeek: slightly messy i suppose, but tried and tested [16:30] shohan: sorry, don't know what else to check, try asking your question again without a name [16:30] does swap have to be primary partition? or can it be logical? cus i made one partition for / and one for /home , both primary [16:30] !hi | floris [16:30] floris, please see my private message [16:30] #ubuntu-it [16:30] almoxarife: i have now maxed all of them [16:30] mekhla: logical partition ok [16:30] floris, haha playing with the bot [16:30] thanks [16:30] Marchingknight11: try log out and log back in now [16:30] tonyyarusso, do you know where i can complain about the names of the image? [16:30] almoxarife: i also have no mp3 encoder installed so i cant test using mp3s, but there is no boot sound and ims dont make sounds [16:30] wrgb_its ok man...thankx anyway [16:30] ok [16:31] * Blues-Man greets all [16:31] trijntje: Nope :( [16:31] !text2speech [16:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about text2speech [16:31] Dr_Willis, No, I can automatically mount my windows partitions using fstab.

In my system I didn't need to configure X at all [17:09] Vipan: Hi. What is the problem? [17:09] thanks ga [17:09] Ok. [17:09] thanks Gadget3000 [17:10] Looks like it has my videocard installed but I cant change resolution higher than 800x600 [17:10] StarLionIsaac: section device, identifier "configured video device" [17:10] Section "Device" [17:10] Identifier "Configured Video Device" [17:10] monitor not detected [17:10] Driver "nvidia" [17:10] So my volume roller is reported as an APCI event, but if I try to boot with APCI on, udev stalls out for six to ten minutes trying to load my ATI card. [17:10] Driver should be mesa there [17:10] after upgrading to 9.10 at startup there is xubuntu screen shown. but i am running ubuntu, not xubuntu. how can i change startup window? [17:10] floris: It has that, with the "Configured Video Device" in, but nothing else [17:10] hi, my canon ip3600 won't work: tried it on a windows system and it does, here on ubuntu 8.10 there's nothing to do. drivers are correctly installed, the cups port's opened on ufw but still it wont print anything, "printing > ip3600 > properties > print queue" shows the "job" as "completed" what happens? thanks [17:10] floris: no Driver nvidia or anything [17:10] Tommy_Catz: X.Org X server -- i740 display driver? [17:10] I'll be content if either I can fix udev's botched loading of my ATI card or if I can get volume without ACPI on. [17:10] Gadget3000, i had a problem with wine so i uninstalled it, but no hdd space was released so i opened nautilus as root and deleted everything i found related to wine. Now when i reinstall it doesnt create a Applications entry [17:11] StarLionIsaac well i have nvidia videocard also [17:11] Tommy_Catz: I have nvidia, so I am not very sure what you should try [17:11] floris: don't you mean vesa [17:11] X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver [17:11] Gadget3000, but atleast there is a Home/.wine entry [17:11] well insm0d youll be right:p [17:11] Has anyone used Ubuntu on Hp Pavilion dv2 with AMD Athlon Neo processor here? [17:11] floris: there's nothing in the laptop that uses nvidia, that I know of, it was on nouvea before, but that didn't work either [17:12] Vipan: How did you install wine? and which version? [17:12] how would i find my network ip? (not isp ip) [17:12] StarLionIsaac no nvidia videocard? [17:12] Temujin: ifconfig [17:12] temujin: ifconfig [17:12] I tried both Beta and Normal, i used both synaptic and the new ubuntu software center.

[17:12] Vipan: try, sudo apt-get reinstall wine [17:13] Gadet3000: Im on it [17:13] floris: not that I know of, no - when I had graphics working, it listed no propritary nvidia drivers on the find Hardware Drivers dialog [17:13] StarLionIsaac ah right [17:13] okay StarLionIsaac: I have a quick temporary fix for you: Use the sample xorg.conf on this website as a template; http://dev.gentoo.org/~fmccor/docs/xorg/xorg.conf/xorg.conf.html and add Driver "vesa" in your xorg.conf [17:13] ok, Im thinking its the moniter now cause it looks like ubuntu found my videocard [17:13] Vipan: When you say it doesn't create an app directory what do you mean as .wine is already there? [17:14] question: if I wanted a directory that only me and someone else could use via FTP, how would I set that up? [17:14] StarLionIsaac: i m going to hav dinner, so goodbye [17:14] after upgrading to 9.10 at startup there is xubuntu screen shown. but i am running ubuntu, not xubuntu. how can i change startup window? [17:14] when i goto display it says that monitor is unknown [17:14] Gadet3000: There is a folder in home, but not in applications"Start" [17:14] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i think it's easier [17:14] Hi everyone. Is the following possible: I've got dualboot between Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10. Can I, in Windows, for instance start of VirtualBox and boot up the Ubuntu 9.10-boot - or MUST I create a new? [17:14] Tommy_Catz: It is always possible that Ubuntu installed the wrong driver [17:14] Gadet3000: so i have to use commands to open the configs etc. its most anoying [17:15] Is it possible to beat udev bloody and tell it to stop trying to load my ATI card APCI but everything else APCI? [17:15] Booting with the grub option APCI off kills my volume roller. [17:15] Vipan: are you using kde or gnome? [17:15] you are probably right neil127. I'm used to doing things by hand [17:15] motoh: u mean acpi? [17:15] hi, my canon ip3600 won't work: tried it on a windows system and it does, here on ubuntu 8.10 there's nothing to do. drivers are correctly installed, the cups port's opened on ufw but still it wont print anything, "printing > ip3600 > properties > print queue" shows the "job" as "completed" what happens? thanks [17:15] aha [17:15] Yes, sorry. [17:15] Gadet3000: Im running Gnome 2.28. Still no menu for wine [17:16] can I force ubuntu into using a higher resalition [17:16] dad [17:16] also, search google for configure udev per device [17:16] resolution === dad is now known as Guest51903 [17:16] Tommy_Catz: I would also recommand posting a thread in at ubuntuforums.org if you haven't already [17:16] Vipan: have you installed an app on wine yet? [17:16] Not at the moment [17:16] niel127 basically if I have ACPI on, udev hangs my boot for six to ten minutes trying to load my ATI card (which comes up fine without udev's interference, the proprietary driver works fine) but with it off, I have no volume control. [17:16] m [17:17] Problem with apt-get: "The following packages have been kept back: libgtk1.2 [17:17] How to fix? [17:17] Vipan: try installing an app from terminal for now although it should have a menu already [17:17] Gadet3000: Im installing a small app now to see it it creats an entry [17:17] motoh, you may have to blacklist a kernel module from loading. Unfortunately I'm not sure how to do this :/ === n00b81 is now known as n00b81|away [17:17] KB1JWQ, its not working [17:18] KB1JWQ, is there any way out [17:18] Gadet3000: How do i install .exe via terminal ? [17:18] unable to upgrade vlc [17:18] insm0d: sorry, that didn't work either, it's still gone back to tty1 instead [17:18] insm0d that's a fine start, I'll start researching. [17:18] sudaya: You need to read up on ssh forwarding and how it works, then. :-) [17:18] Vipan: go to installer directory then do, wine "Installer.exe" [17:19] Gadet3000: Still no menu [17:19] right-click on the menu [17:19] Edit menus [17:19] Add entry [17:20] Gadet3000: Wine works like a charm tho... [17:20] command: wine ~/.wine/drive_c/ === raiden is now known as Guest49171 [17:20] Vipan: do you know the command to start the app because if so you could edit the menus manually, otherwise try a wine installer such as wine doors or playonlinux [17:21] after upgrading to 9.10 at startup there is xubuntu screen shown. but i am running ubuntu, not xubuntu. how can i change startup window? [17:21] Gadet3000: I could do that, but i relly want it to auto place the apps i installed like it did 30 mins ago :P [17:21] ortsvorsteher: Not sure if it will work, but you can attempt to reinstall ubuntu-desktop [17:22] KB1JWQ, can u tell me something about proxy5s u r talking about [17:22] BlueEagle, if there will be now other help, i will try that or an fresh install... thank you :) [17:22] ortsvorsteher: I am ofcourse assuming you are refering to the boot splash, not the login-screen. === alexises is now known as Guest87840 [17:22] Vipan: try a wine installer then. I would recommend playonlinux as it supports more apps and creates its own menu [17:22] where would I create a ftp directory that only me and another person can use? [17:22] BlueEagle, yes, to the boot splash === marjomercado is now known as marjo [17:23] ortsvorsteher: Be sure to remove the xubuntu-desktop package if installed. [17:23] Gadet3000: But thats exactly what wine used to do. [17:23] BlueEagle, yes, it was installed and i removed it yet [17:23] how do i force my monitor into a higher resolution when it is not getting detected? [17:23] ortsvorsteher: Also the usplash package may be removed and reinstalled. Might help. [17:24] ortsvorsteher: The clue is to get the initrd regenerated as far as I know. [17:24] why does aptitude say installing karmic version over jaunty is "downgrading"? [17:24] BlueEagle, i try now to reinstall usplash package :) [17:24] hi there, i would like to harden my ubunut-client - any good tips (besides google, which i am checking at the moment)....? [17:24] tzdata [2009o+repack-0ubuntu0.9.04.2 (now) -> 2009o-1ubuntu2 (karmic)] [17:25] neil127: Which package is it talking about? [17:25] Vipan: Do you have any broken packages? go to Synaptic >Edit> Fix all broken packages [17:25] neil127: oh.. tzdata. [17:26] Hi, I'm looking for some help to downgrade the xserver version in ubuntu 9.10. does anyone got 5minutes? [17:26] I found a guide written for 9.04 but don't know if it's appliable to 9.10 [17:26] Gadet3000: No broken packages either [17:27] Vipan: I'm not sure what else to suggest other than the workaround then. Sorry [17:27] Gadet3000: Thank you anyway =) [17:28] neil127: Seems to be a bug in the install script, but don't take my word for it. [17:28] No internet connection after upgrae to 9.10 Help pleasse [17:29] is there any default root-pass after installing a fresh ubuntu 9.10 on my asus eee t91 ? [17:29] Can anyone tell me what to do about libgtk1.2 being "kept back" by apt? [17:29] Ubuntu rocks! [17:29] elargus: what does ifconfig tell you? [17:29] I have one problem though [17:29] elargus: Are you running wireless or wired? [17:29] usr13 if I recall correctly, gtk1.2 is legacy, and not many applications now need it [17:30] elargus: Do you have wired connection ? [17:30] when I apt-get install more_money it does not work.. :-/ [17:30] !root | ch40z-lord [17:30] I have an ip address [17:30] ch40z-lord: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [17:30] with Wlan0 [17:30] insm0d: Tnx [17:30] is this prhase syntax correct? my english is not that great : Changed information and error windows' title to MyWindowTitle === gnomeye`work is now known as gnomeye [17:30] or use sudo su - [17:30] I m sing wireless [17:30] BlueEagle but I want to use "su" atm [17:30] Is anyone running chromium with extensions enabled on 9.10 successfully? [17:30] elargus: route -n [17:30] and if I enter nothing it tells me auth failed too [17:30] ch40z-lord: May I ask why? [17:30] yep do "sudo su -" tu use root account [17:31] same pwd [17:31] I'm too lazy to type in several commands with "sudo" [17:31] (: [17:31] yea I tried sudo apt-get install more_money and it fail :-| [17:31] elargus: Does route -n return the IP address of your router? [17:31] ch40z-lord: man sudo [17:31] yes [17:31] it does [17:31] <.< [17:31] elargus: host av.com [17:31] I want to use su -.- [17:31] and not ALWAYS sudo [17:31] elargus: does host av.com return IP addresses? [17:31] cH40z-Lord, USE "sudo su -" to log as root [17:31] cH40z-Lord: sudo -i [17:32] yes it does [17:32] ch40z-lord: If you had read the manual you would see that sudo does have a series of switches that open a root shell. [17:32] elargus: Then you have internte connection [17:32] All of my desktop icons have disappeared (but they are still in ~/Desktop. How can I make them show up again? [17:32] bla bla [17:32] have you read the whole manuel BlueEagle ?

[17:32] but all my browzers are timing out [17:32] elargus: What problem are you having? Is it a problem with Firefox? [17:32] !attitude | ch40z-lord [17:32] ch40z-lord: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [17:32] cH40z-Lord: I have too, and it does mention both sudo -s and sudo -i [17:32] elargus: ping av.com [17:32] firefox, konqueror [17:33] timming out [17:33] elargus: can you ping google.com [17:33] hi! on ubuntu 9.04 server what is the proper file to add static routes in? [17:33] the ping goes through with no problem [17:33] cH40z-Lord: Anyway. If you insist on plain su, then: 1) You already know how to use 'sudo' to run separate commands. 2) You probably already know how to change an account's password. Figure out the rest. [17:33] elargus: Do your browsers think you are using a proxy server? [17:33] People, I`ve executed this command > rm -rf ~/$dir && ln -sf /media/temp/$dir ~ ... How I can get changes without session restart?

[17:35] hello [17:35] PauloRicardo: most changes will take affect already, but for others, you will need to logout / login [17:35] penthief well but /etc/hosts is for name resolution. this is routing [17:35] seriously, why would all my tty's just be a black screen, when switching from X, they are fine before i start X [17:35] elargus: firefox google.com [17:36] penthief: assign hostnames to ips, not domains [17:36] roygbiv: Sorry I dunno.

[17:41] so I doubt it is a proxy problem [17:42] et-lab: why downgrade? [17:42] no I have set it now such that it uses no proxy [17:42] does anyone know how to run the 'xfix' that used to be on the recovery menu in Jaunty?

[17:44] elargus: linx google.com [17:44] DRIVER=video [17:44] pixie_, i think thats a bug in has already been filed so all we can do is wait i've tried everything and nothing has worked... using Karmic. [17:44] can I ask a question? [17:44] elargus: lynx google.com [17:44] I wonder if forcing udev to change that would fix my issue? [17:44] ibuclaw, it is. I researched a little bit, everyone with this line of ati cards is experiencing huge performance regressions with the latest versions [17:44] eL_pSycHo: i'm not running latest distro [17:44] tonysan: you just did [17:45] tonysan, yes, just ask. [17:45] @durt any ideas? [17:45] I installed finch, but its tables are all messed up [17:45] PauloRicardo: erm, why not just copy the gconf over, rather than symlink the directory [17:45] BlueEagle FYI i tried that static routes link and it worked [17:45] even with Evolution I I do not have lynx installed [17:45] pixie_, i see.. then maybe someone can help :) [17:45] roygbiv: Good stuff! [17:45] I do not have lynx installed [17:45] eL_pSycHo: hoping for it,it's driving me insane [17:45] azhariq: Do you have 'gsynaptics' installed? If you run it, does it find a touch pad? [17:45] I am monitoring entries remotely using syslog. I have !local*.* in from of messages and syslog, but now nothing is logging to those two files.

[17:46] Since 'sessions' no longer exists, how do I go about making something work like it used to in sessions? [17:47] ubuntu doesn't have an ftp server program by default does it?

[17:48] Hey all [17:48] again; can't mount CD drive/cd doesnt read disc. Tried all the howtos i can find,no luck. [17:49] pixie_: what do you mean with doesnt read? [17:49] et-lab: any links to specific issues? [17:49] pixie_: try with another cd [17:49] one last time, then I'm signing my laptop off as a paperweight... does anyone know how to run the 'xfix' that used to be on the recovery menu in Jaunty, but disappeared in Karmic [17:49] it really sucks without a mouse/touchpad [17:49] guest123: dont detect disc [17:49] pixie_ the disc you are trying to mount, is it a dvd?, what does linux call your cd drive [17:50] insm0d: it doesnt call it anything,i canät seem to mount it. [17:50] !touchpad | Azhariq [17:50] Azhariq: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [17:50] on the alternative cd or dvd, there are some package missing like when you start ubuntu after installing from alternative cd, alt+f2 to run application shortcut not working [17:50] the thingy on laptop for mouse.... :S [17:50] do you know what kind of hardware interface your cd drive uses pixie_? [17:50] #kubuntu [17:50] insm0d: no,sorry. [17:50] why is my /etc/modules file only have lp in it? [17:51] maybe a b8g [17:51] insm0d: i know that it's not a hardware issues though,reinstalled distro from cd a couple weeks back [17:51] qwas_: why should it contain more? [17:51] azhariq: Do you not have a mouse either? [17:51] okay pixie_ open up a console and type this: dmesg | grep CD Then tell us the output [17:51] Did anything replace System > Preferences > Sessions in karmic? [17:51] I just installed ubuntu 9.10 desktop, and everything is working lovely except that I can only get sound to work from one source at a time. If I play music in amarok, i can't hear pidgin sounds for example.. if i stop amarok, i can now hear pidgin sounds [17:52] Nope :'( [17:52] insm0d: no return output [17:52] hola franco [17:52] franco: escribí /join #ubuntu-es [17:52] any ideas on how to get multiple sound streams to work? [17:52] you know windows has this 'let computer connect to the internet through this computer' thing. is it possible to let ubuntu connect to the internet through my windows computer? [17:52] Ports blocked after upgrade to 9.10 help please [17:52] nacitar: is pulseaudio working ? [17:52] Temujin: yes [17:52] Whenever starting Evolution, a password authentication panel appears. How can I disable this? [17:53] how? [17:53] Temujin: Just enable Internet Connection Sharing in Windows. [17:53] llutz: so there is no list of modules to load on boot? [17:53] Temujin: enable internet connection sharing and assuming its all wired up it should just work [17:53] William777: Check "Remember password"? [17:53] ibuclaw: I believe it is; there a simple test to run for that? [17:53] ok [17:53] havent been able to work on my system...ever since i upgraded to 9.10 [17:53] qwas_: they were loaded on demand by hal/udev etc. /etc/modules is to force the load of modules [17:53] i cant boot into 2.6.31 the display just goes blank.... [17:54] alright, new question - laptop has one drive/partition, and no working USB, network is the only way for things to get on/off it. Any way to fresh-install a different distro on it, without having to unmount the only partition it has, from the command line [17:54] yikes pixie_, you're kernel isn't finding your cd drive. You aren't going to be able to do anything until it gets detected. [17:54] azhariq: have you got anything in /dev/shm/? [17:54] grawity: It's the gnome password panel (not one genereated within Evolution itself) [17:54] ibuclaw: using "test" in amarok's sound settings, selecting pulseaudio, it works. [17:54] William777: I'm guessing it's the "Unlock keyring" box (Evolution stores passwords in Keyring). [17:54] elargus: nc and nmap are good tools for that. Is iptables on? [17:54] insm0d: so how can i go about getting it to detect? [17:54] William777: If you are using Auto-logon in Ubuntu, the only way to get rid of that window is to remove the Keyring's password completely. [17:54] try finding out what type of cd drive you have and then we can help your kernel detect it pixie_ [17:55] Blueeagle: yes...some pulse-shm-###### [17:55] William777: This can be done in 'seahorse' (Accessories -> Passwords and Encryption Keys). [17:55] my printer is not connected to the laptop but still the rdriver shows up .....how to remove it ??? [17:55] synaptics reports the package linux-source as 'the latest available' but only shows 2.6.28.21 where kernel.org shows 2.6.31.5 as the latest. what gives? [17:55] Iptable is not runing [17:55] what software do you use for central log management? [17:55] nacitar: yes, there is no reason why it shouldn't.... [17:55] Did anything replace System > Preferences > Sessions in karmic? [17:55] azhariq: Ok. Then we just need to figure out which is the actual touch pad and where to configure that. [17:55] William777: If you are _not_ using auto-logon, then there's a second way: Set the keyring's password to be exactly the same as your Ubuntu password. [17:55] insm0d: i'm really not a hacker. i'll just have to rad more howtos then. on how to find out what cd drive i use [17:55] nacitar: how old is your sound card? [17:55] astra-x: syslog-ng can log over the network. [17:55] and how do we do that? === Guest33882 is now known as Janhouse [17:56] insm0d: thanks for the help anyways,i might be back later [17:56] nacitar: linux only using one stream at a time is an old issue. This happens because your sound card doesn't support hardware mixing. PulseAudio is used instead to fix that (by mixing at a Software Level). [17:56] ibuclaw: it's a few years old at least; a dell lattitude D830 laptop.. my work laptop. [17:57] i have an error that my printer is not connected ...how to remove the driver so that this error wont apprear again ?? [17:57] hold on pixie_ [17:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/310771/ Alright. I just need to make udev stop thinking it knows how to load my device. Any suggestions? [17:57] ibuclaw: I'm guessing then that things aren't all using pulseaudio.. will i have to coerce them to use it application by application or is there a system-wide solution? [17:57] nacitar: at least, that is my presumption ... [17:57] we might be able to find out from here. Is your drive internal or external? [17:57] azhariq: Googling. [17:58] nacitar: check your Sound Settings in the System->Preferences. [17:58] insm0d: internal [17:58] hello, im trying to disable some ttys ive edited /etc/defaults/console-setupi still have 7ttys what else do i have to edit?? [17:58] my laptop has one drive/partition, and no working USB, network is the only way for things to get on/off it. Any way to fresh-install a different distro on it, without having to unmount the only partition it has, from the command line [17:58] that should dictate what you use. === n00b81|away is now known as n00b81 [17:58] i have an error that my printer is not connected ...how to remove the driver so that this error wont apprear again ?? [17:58] I would need the 64 bit version to support VT correct? [17:58] pixie_ what kind of computer is it? Laptop, desktop... [17:58] insm0d: laptop. Acer some years old something [17:58] blueeagle: will try. Any help with the blank screen display when i boot into 2.6.31 [17:59] alguien habla español ? [17:59] hah i'm really not supplying the info i think you'd want :P [17:59] i have an error that my printer is not connected ...how to remove the driver so that this error wont apprear again ?? [17:59] azhariq: Just to be sure... have you installed xserver-xorg-input-synaptics [17:59] Can someone give me a hand mounting a drive [17:59] no pixie_ we're getting there [17:59] azhariq: reinstalling it may also be helpful. [17:59] why kde doesn't come with gameS? [17:59] it has some games, [17:59] any1??? [18:00] ubuntistas: you didnt install them ? [18:00] :( [18:00] would need the 64 bit version to support VT? [18:00] I [18:00] linxeh do i have to? i think thay are already installed how can i install them? [18:00] When I try and mount it is says unknown filesystem type NTFS [18:01] AAAAGH I hate and despise Udev. [18:01] Xpistos|AHHHH: Because it's "ntfs", not "NTFS". [18:01] Xpistos|AHHHH: I usually do "mnt -o loop $DEVICE $MOUNTPOINT" [18:01] blueeagle: it was installed...but i removed and installed it again [18:01] hi, i'm running 9.10 and trying to switch between swiss german keyboard layout on my notebook and standard german on my usb keyboard. everything is working through the gnome kb layout applet, except for the pipe character [18:01] Xpistos|AHHHH: ntfs-3g is even better. [18:01] it's either atapi or sata, so when you search the howtos, try to look for loading kernel modules with atapi and sata support, then when the dmesg | grep CD returns something, you should be able to use the CD drive then [18:01] where is Mark Shuttleworth ? [18:01] my laptop has one drive/partition, and no working USB, network is the only way for things to get on/off it. Any way to fresh-install a different distro on it, without having to unmount the only partition it has, from the command line [18:01] <-- [18:01] penthief: 1) It's 'mount'. 2) -o loop, is only required for mounting files -- it is _not_ required for devices. [18:01] OHhhhhARgH [18:01] when i swithc to standard german layout and try to type it on the standard german keyboard, i get a backslash... which is what you would expecxt from the swiss german layput [18:01] i dissconected my printer but an error caused by the dirver appears [18:02] how to remove it [18:02] guys ??any 1 can help me ??

[18:03] blueeagle: i googled on pulse-shm.....its all about shared memory....what does that has to do with touch pad [18:03] grawity: eh ?

[18:06] and when I fdisk -l the drive (/sdc1) is listed as SFS but it was NTFS before I did my reinstall to Karmic server [18:06] azhariq: I think I may have been misguided there.

Then when I log back on, the program doesn't start and it has disappeared from "Startup Programs".. Any idea what I am doing wrong? [18:07] lucas__: in /dev [18:07] BlueEagle: there i need to comment to the reid of them? [18:07] What is that package with all the good windows fonts that are proprietary or whatever? [18:08] JohnTeddy: msttcorefonts [18:08] lucas__: I'm sorry. I do not understand what you're attempting to achieve. [18:08] Is anyone running chromium with extensions enabled on 9.10 successfully? [18:09] ibuclaw: i fixed it; it appears that amarok was accessing the sound card directly and causing the grief... and apparently, the setting changes don't stick until you restart amarok completely. works fine now. :) [18:09] BlueEagle: i want to disable ttys but 2 im on kubuntu 9.10 [18:09] hi folks, i've noticed that if i set the cd volume to 0 in alsamixer, i eliminate any hissing on my headphones, but then doing any volume adjustment with karmic's pulseaudio tools brings the hissing back (likely because it's internally resetting the cd volume); any idea how i can access the CD volume and mute it in pulseaudio, or save it in alsamixer such that it doesn't get overwritten? [18:09] is pulseaudio resetting the volume of the individual inputs internally or is there something else at work here? [18:09] AFAIK line in is muted, but i can't access those settings in pulseaudio anymore as karmic blocks them out [18:09] blueeagle: nope....it still doesnt works [18:10] lucas__: So you only want ALT+F1, ALT+F2 and ALT+F7? [18:10] BlueEagle: nope just f1 and f2 [18:10] azhariq: Then I'm sorry, but I don't know. [18:10] lucas__: I see so you don't want to run the X-server either then? [18:10] lucas__: look at /etc/init/tty?.conf [18:11] BlueEagle llutz thanks [18:11] lucas__, /etc/default/console-setup is what your looking for [18:11] gnome-power-manager recognizes if I'm on battery power and if I switch to AC power, but if I then disconnect AC power and continue on battery power, gnome-power-manager doesn't recognize that I'm no longer on AC power. Should i submit a bug report or is there any troubleshooting I can do first [18:11] blueeagle : when i boot into 2.6.28 the display works fine...but when i select the 2.6.31 option at grub...there is just a blank screen...but the OS is loading. [18:11] Sylphid|work: ive edited but i still get 7 ttys [18:11] Spoom2: "alsamixe -c 0" Try muting the CD channel [18:12] lucas__, after reboot? [18:12] Sylphid|work: ive also sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and changed that but still have 7 yeah after reboot [18:12] Big issue.. Evolution cannot load liborg-gnome-exchange-mapi.so!! I need this bad for syncing to my company email(Exchange 2007). Is this a known issue w/9.10? Yes I have googled this issue many times no new data. [18:12] can anyone help me get my touchpad to work?? [18:13] or is there a way to downgrade to 9.04? [18:13] hey i'm installing a minimal ubuntu 9.04.. if i want a browser do i need to install gnome and a window manager first? [18:13] I have installed the Moonlight plugin that replaces silverlight by microsoft and I have tested in different site and it works now the problem is that to watch instant videos in netflix the site recognize linux as my OS therefore it gives me the message that there is no support for my OS even though I have the plugin required to play instant videos, the question is , is there a way to tell the site that I'm using a different OS.? [18:13] swirvbox: have you just upgraded to 9.10 or is this a fresh install? [18:13] Jordan_U, i think that may have done it, thanks :^) [18:13] chrisw_ this is an upgrade from 9.04 [18:13] drawde_: You don't need Gnome, but a window manager is required ( at least for reasonable use ) [18:14] Spoom2: np :) [18:14] !help [18:14] lucas__, check /etc/event.d/tty* [18:14] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:14] is there a way to revert volume button handling to what it used to be (in/decrementing the master channel) instead of that weird pulseaudio thing that changes both master and pcm? [18:14] Jordan_U, the hiss returns when any sound stream starts playing but i'm starting to think that's a factor of it being a cheap internal laptop soundcard [18:14] swirvbox: OK, best thing to try is to remove ubuntu-desktop, then install it again. Don't mark it for re-installation - it doesn't work for some reason. You can do this from the Synaptic Package manager and there's no need to reboot between removal and installation.

[18:16] you don't even need to visit that url --- firefox has an integrated search/install thing for addons now [18:16] ah, cool [18:16] didn't know that [18:16] Good luck all! [18:16] it's fairly recent [18:16] now if only they'd add a "stop using 30-90% of my cpu for no reason" option [18:17] swirvbox Not really, either go to the package manager, mark ubuntu-desktop for removal, click apply, then mark for installation and click apply, OR sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [18:17] Azhariq, I can't seem to get my card to go higher than 54M, where do I start ?

It's totally black on tty7. But tty1 shows login prompt. [18:41] skype have a native linux version [18:41] StarLionIsaac: sudo -i is preferable [18:41] sebsebseb: but if I want the cube and these other things, I will have to install it completely ?

[18:42] can anyone help me with my swap? [18:42] WhatANoob: Thanks a lot ! [18:42] skype has a native linux version [18:42] rajen: if you download and install Ubuntu-Tweak, you can enable a repository that will install a native version [18:42] rajen: just go to the website, linux version available. extremely easy, for even a nub [18:42] Hi!

If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [18:43] StarLionIsaac, is this a karmic install? [18:43] pshr_: software centre, new icon theme, new log in screen that can't be themed like the old one, new version of Grub 2, and that's about it for 9.10 plus new bugs, you can find out about some of those in the release notes [18:43] rajen: got a link: http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/choose/ [18:43] i know i know [18:43] !notes | pshr_ [18:43] pshr_: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [18:43] Azhariq: could be wrong driver used, could you give more details about your card?

[18:43] With Ubuntu 9.10, what software should I use to remotely care for my girlfriend's computer (we're both behind a home router, each having dyndns) [18:43] i am installing with wine because i can't use my mic on the linux one [18:43] Sylphid|work: Yes. Well, actually it's Hardy upgraded to Intrepid, upgraded to Jaunty, upgraded to Karmic, though not all at the same time - upgrades were done a few days after each one released [18:44] rapha: if you are both using linux check X-forwarding via ssh [18:44] shazzr_, does /etc/init.d/gdm status say that gdm is running? [18:44] thanks sebsebseb [18:45] th0r: something a little less bandwidth-intensive would be good ... she's on a pretty awful WiMAX connection [18:45] !compiz [18:45] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [18:45] th0r: also, with 9.10, I was hoping for some nice GUI [18:45] i have a intel 5100 card in my notebook but both wlan and ethernet do not work using karmic. can anyone help? [18:45] rapha: Empathy includes desktop sharing [18:46] pshr_: Grub 2 is for clean installs of 9.10. Also 10.04 will be out at the end of April, and since it's the next long term support release, it's meant to be pretty good [18:46] Sylphid|work: no. It says something about 'Rather thn invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, user the service (8) utility, e.g. service gdm status' [18:46] rapha: if you want gui then X-forwarding is probably your best bet. For limited bandwidth just plain ssh at the command line will be best [18:46] mneptok: cool, gonna check that out :) [18:46] StarLionIsaac, great! so on the new system just hit load file and apply changes to install everything right? [18:46] Sylphid|work: 'sudo service gdm status' gives me 'gdm stop/waitin' [18:46] alright ill try again, I have 12GB of RAM. is it wise to disable swap? [18:46] pshr_: Since you put love earlier, well I want to do this [18:46] !love > pshr_ [18:46] pshr_, please see my private message [18:46] i am still looking for a netmeeting like tool.. any suggestion? [18:46] initialdrivegtr: Are you planning to hibernate? [18:46] th0r: that doesn't work for those cases where she wants to show me something. I need to see her desktop, the way she sees it. Doesn't work like that with SSH forwarding. [18:46] StarLionIsaac, what version of xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed ... dpkg -s xserver-xorg-video-intel [18:46] bigmack83_: yes, that's it, though if there are packages from repositories not available, it won't find them. Just add them in again after, and it'll work [18:46] anyone here having problems with dbus on start up in ubuntu 9.10 ... it seems to terminate with status 1 after the file checks, and unable to start it manually with "start dbus" or "services dbus start" [18:47] bigmack83_: don't forget to save the file though [18:47] Well I usually do, but I can deal with not being able to [18:47] sebsebseb, but the upgrade follows the sequence if i want to upgrade to 10.04 then i should first upgrade to 9.10 and then 10.04 right ? [18:47] Does ubuntu 9.10 have a "lock" feature like windows windows key + L, such that i'd have to enter the password to access the pc after the lock? [18:47] axisys: try emesene [18:47] why does the sound really suck after upgrade to 9.10? [18:47] is there coming a fix soon? [18:47] WhatANoob: ok.. let me take a look.. thanks [18:47] not at all [18:47] nacitar: i use an applet for the panels. not sure if you can make a keybinding for that [18:48] hi [18:48] unable to getting into /root directory , permission denied with my account ??? how to make my account as equal to root account ?? [18:48] Sylphid|work: 2.2.9.0+git20091026.10946118-0ubuntu0tormod [18:48] pici: Well I usually do, but I can deal with not being able to [18:48] every time i boot my computer i have to manually go into System -> Preferences -> Sound -> Hardware and change Profile to something else, and then back to what I want it to be, this sucks! [18:48] erUSUL: oh i see "lock screen" in that applet now, didnt even look there, was in system menu. that works. [18:48] shazzr_, sudo service gdm restart [18:48] initialdrivegtr: Well, you'd need at least as much swap as ram if you plan to hibernate, otherwise I see no reason to have any with that amount of ram. [18:48] StarLionIsaac, yea its saved. thanks. [18:48] prodcutnews1: use sudo [18:48] nacitar: crtl + alt + L works here [18:48] prodcutnews1: why on earth would you do that? use root only when you need it, instead [18:48] !root > prodcutnews1 (prodcutnews1, see the private message from ubottu) [18:48] pshr_: well yes, but you could just clean install, and that would be a better idea then trying to upgrade through 9.10 really [18:49] Sylphid|work: that one gives me 'restart: Unknown instance:' [18:49] pici: well right now I have 12GB of DDR3 RAM in my laptop, with a 2GB swap, and I can still hibernate. but thats only with a gig of ram being used [18:49] i have a intel 5100 card in my notebook but both wlan and ethernet do not work using karmic. can anyone comment on that? [18:49] StarLionIsaac, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade xserver-xorg-video-intel [18:49] initialdrivegtr: Well thats logical. [18:50] now, when reinstalling and loading a synaptic backup file. i have a majority of the debs on an seperate partition. is it possible to tell ubuntu to look for that file and install them telling it to look at the deb directory for the debs? [18:50] sebsebseb, i feel it hectic to back up my data he he.. any ways i will do a clean install once 10.04 is out :) what might be the code name ^_^ ? [18:50] WhatANoob: will it allow sharing desktop for presentation in readonly ? [18:50] StarLionIsaac, ^^ [18:50] !10.04 | pshr_ [18:50] pshr_: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l02bhwofEqw for announcement video. [18:50] http://pastie.org/685265 my screen won't recognize setuid :( [18:50] pshr_: well this is where seperate homes come in, it makes re installing or distro hopping much easier [18:50] shazzr_, echo $DISPLAY [18:50] akisys: i don't know, coz never used it [18:50] pici: so say I were to disable swap, and have maybe 3 or four VM's running each with their own gig of ram, I wouldn't be able to hibernate? [18:50] !home | pshr_ [18:50] pshr_: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [18:51] bigmack83_: I don't think so, but I think there's a way to turn a folder into a repository. I dont' know about that though [18:51] initialdrivegtr: Correct. [18:51] I need some help to install ubuntu 9.10 in RAID 5 or 0+1 or (worst case) just 1 on a machine without OS with a fake RAID controller that doesn't seem to be correctly recognized by the 9.10 SERVER installation CD [18:51] Sylphid|work: There isn't any upgrade available [18:51] pici: alright. sleep will still work though? [18:51] StarLionIsaac, hmm... odd that version is 2 revs old [18:51] initialdrivegtr: Yes, it should. [18:52] is there somthing similar to win 7 snap in ubuntu ? (arranging windows on half the screen) [18:52] pici: great, now do you know how to disable it? [18:52] starcube, well once the system is up and running, i usually just backup the original archives folder and make a link to the one on the other partition. and when installing it will see that some of the debs are there. just tryign to see if i can automate things a little [18:52] --->ubottu ... i had assigned a new password to sudo ..but i wish to enter root directory with my account ... why actually i want to do this ... im unable to setup ms office in WINE , i feel i lack permissions [18:52] initialdrivegtr: Er, not off the top of my head I don't. [18:52] Sylphid|work: Before the upgrade, I had turned on the Ubuntu X and Ubuntu X testing repositories from Ubuntu Tweak, they're now set to karmic instead of jaunty, but both active, could that be the source of the problem? [18:53] pshr_: Also Ubuntu One is new, but you could back up stuff to that. 9.10 gets the client by default, there is a way to have one in 9.04 as well. [18:53] axisys: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=linux+netmeeting&btnG=%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BA&lr=&aq=f&oq= [18:53] Sylphid|work: you're out of ideas as well? :S [18:53] hi there, i need some help with ssh client, i just installed it and i am using virtualbox [18:53] the first link [18:53] what might i have overlooked, if on my intel graphics adapter, kms appears to be working, but visual effects don't, and the Xorg.0.log says GLX error can not find symbols or something along those lines? [18:53] --->ubottu ... i had assigned a new password to sudo ..but i wish to enter root directory with my account ... why actually i want to do this ... im unable to setup ms office in WINE , i feel i lack permissions [18:53] pici: ah alright. thanks for the help [18:53] StarLionIsaac, its possible... you could try turning them off then purge the old modules and reinstall em [18:53] shazzr_, echo $DISPLAY [18:54] Sylphid|work: that's a problem in itself, they don't appear in the /etc/apt/sources.list, and I don't know the entire list of modules I'd have to remove and reinst [18:54] Pici: Any factoid for Ubuntu One yet? No? [18:54] hello, i have a very severe problem setting up my notebooks ethernet on karmic, can anyone pease help me? [18:54] Sylphid|work: gives me a blank line. [18:54] Hey guys. [18:54] sebsebseb: You're free to suggest one. [18:54] I can't get sound with the 9.10 upgrade can someone help me out? Alsa mixer doesn't look like it used to, and I don't know how to fix this. [18:54] Sylphid|work: also, is it actually safe to remove xorg/xserver entirely, or does it not affect the tty? [18:54] Just enabled xinerama, now I don't have Compiz haha... anybody found a fix for it yet? [18:54] are you getting reports of people having problems with Karmic and VBox 3.0.10? VMs where unusably slow with 3.0.10 but run fine when VBox is downgraded to 3.0.8 (Jaunty version). [18:54] StarLionIsaac, xorg does not affect tty's [18:55] hi, i installed ubuntu on virtualbox and the ssh client does not work, also when i try to connect from windows on localhost does not work... please help [18:55] !kernel [18:55] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [18:55] Sylphid|work: That just leaves trying to find the source entries for them, since as I said, they aren't in /etc/apt/sources.list [18:55] WhatANoob: thanks [18:55] Pici: The actsaul text I don't know what to put, but I guess it would mention that it's in Ubuntu 9.10 by default, what it does, and how to get it for 9.04 as well. [18:55] hi, i installed ubuntu on virtualbox and the ssh client does not work, also when i try to connect from windows on localhost does not work... please help [18:55] hello everyone. I'm not new to ubuntu, and I don't need this information for myself, but a buddy of mine just started using Ubuntu and I don't want to have to answer his questions about which software to install to do everything. Is there a centralized location that gives that type of information that I could sent to him? [18:56] Pici: as well as having their channel in it [18:56] WhatANoob: i also bump into System -> Preference -> Remote Desktop [18:56] shazzr_, ps a | grep "/usr/bin/X" [18:56] is there any place to find docs on intel uxa acceleration with karmic? i keep finding hacks for enabling it on jaunty and older pre-release versions of karmic from before it was "default" [18:56] WhatANoob: looks like it might be using similar protocol as the link you sent [18:56] --->ubottu ... i had assigned a new password to sudo ..but i wish to enter root directory with my account ... why actually i want to do this ... im unable to setup ms office in WINE , i feel i lack permissions [18:56] does anyone know if it's possible to make an off-line copy of the freeCDDDB database? I have ~2,000 CDs that I plan on ripping, and I do not have a high speed internet connection @ the location I'm going to be doing the ripping.

But from same pc on windows it does not. also i don't know how to configure the ssh , i just want to connect from windows to my ubuntu using putty [19:01] this may seem really reckless, and unsafe, but I'm curious to know anyway - how does one go about not just enabling login as root, but auto-login as root? [19:01] blackstar: I think something to do with that got mentioned in the release notes, maybe not though [19:01] !notes | blackstar [19:01] blackstar: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [19:01] i am running a liveCD=can someone tell me how I can unistall from a liveCD???please!

[19:02] i will ceck that out [19:02] I need to work on my PC ASAP someone please, please help me [19:02] Headline, your better bet is to boot to the recovery mode, removing with a live CD is much more of a chalenge [19:02] epinky, same file on windows: 10% cpu usage!!! [19:03] Sylphid|work i tried but not sure what to do [19:03] ...and i dont want to switch to windows [19:03] Any sound experts in the house? In Karmic, I can play sounds on the machine, and sound recorder can record from line-in, but I can't figure out how to pass-through from line-in to output, such that it plays the input through it's output. [19:03] Sylphid|work i need to change directory to USR/SHARE/ATI but i don't know how [19:03] Headline, do you have a second computer to be on IRC with while repairing the broken one [19:03] marxx: use "uswsusp" [19:03] anyone knows if there's a fix to change the size of the alt-tab icons on compiz?!? [19:03] Anyone know where I can find a default user/group listing for UBUNTU SERVER 9.10??????? [19:03] hi. What is the successor of dillo ? [19:03] Sylphid|work yeah in another room [19:03] anyone have any comments on the easiest method of backing up an ubuntu system? I'm looking for something braindead easy, where I could A) do an install from CD or USB media and then B) restore *everything* from other storage [19:03] this may seem really reckless, and unsafe, but I'm curious to know anyway - how does one go about not just enabling login as root, but auto-login as root? [19:04] Sylphid|work hold on [19:04] Short question: in case the installation media is corrupted, can one install via network from the live cd environment? Because it fails and now there's one half an Ubuntu on the machine... ;) [19:04] epinky what's uswsusp? [19:04] Headline, that may be your best bet [19:04] Snossages: someone said there's a program for this called ping [19:04] marxx: google is your friend :) [19:04] Hey Friends... Can anyone help me my Sound driver to work...? [19:04] StarLionIsaac, gui or tty login? [19:04] thanks epinky [19:04] Snossages: you can back up your entire system's package state to a file via synaptic, and when loaded, it'll try to duplicate the state - beware that packages from 3rd party repositories won't install unless you add them again [19:04] Sylphid|work nvmd i have a laptop give me 2 mins [19:04] ZykoticK9 , i use ubuntu on virtualbox, i installe the ssh client and apache. when i type localhost in the browser it works , but when i type from windows on the same pc it doesn't [19:05] reber: uh, anything? dillo is pretty darn primitive... [19:05] Sylphid|work: gui, for reference if/when I get laptop working again, because I'm really bored of having to do sudo all the time [19:05] Sylphid|work can you tell me what to type in at the prompt to get to USR/SHARE/ATI [19:05] synapse, i already ask you if your VM has a 10.x.x.x IP address - you didn't reply -- so does it have a 10.x.x.x ip address? [19:05] synapse: localhost on windows is your windows box, not your virtualbox [19:05] Sylphid|work: Using Kubuntu, for preference, but Ubuntu works too [19:05] StarLionIsaac, from my understanding there is not an easy way to log in as root via the gui [19:06] StarLionIsaac: I'm guessing that won't work if I've had to install packages through means other than synaptic? (I *just* installed autopackage support and a package through it, about 2 minutes ago) [19:06] StarLionIsaac, you may want to look into sudo -i [19:06] Snossages: It'll still list them, but won't install them if they're not available [19:06] hi [19:06] Sylphid|work: thanks anyway, I'll have a look [19:06] Headline, cd /usr/share/ATI/ [19:06] ZykoticK9: well i don't know how to check that, so if you please can explain or guide me to this it would be great. please [19:06] Does someone know how to add a new conf for the kernel?

[19:58] aaronfc: just ask [19:59] Gnome now does have settings for that. [19:59] DanaG: host disk space is fine, only using 10%. [19:59] fcuk112, the auto expanding is only to the maximum size you set it too! [19:59] DanaG, just something simple actually, my motherboard doesn't recognize its onboard sound card, i need 2 speakers and a mic hookup [19:59] ZykoticK9: thanks, will check the config again.

[20:00] emely: you're welcome [20:01] About the weirdest issue I have with my SRM is screwed-up volume control. [20:01] fcuk112, i think you're a little confused on this feature. whatever the size you set the VM-HD when you create it - is the maximum possible size -- BUT prior to it being full it will only use the space required (ie no space used for empty space, which a non-dynamic disk image will use) [20:01] harleypig, sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic [20:01] And pulseaudio mis-recognizes it if the card is not present before PA starts. [20:01] how can i delete something when I keep getting a message saying permission denied [20:01] DanaG, in that case, want to help me get the onboard sound card working? :) [20:01] Hey fellows! [20:01] DanaG, sorry what did you mean with hdi files ? Im new on ubuntu (and linux) [20:01] DanaG, mine says no codec [20:01] * Boggie hides [20:01] sure, hmm, anything in dmesg? [20:01] *fdi [20:01] i'm sort of a new ubuntu user as well [20:01] aaronfc: hal uses fdi files to tell it what properties to apply to the devices it finds.

[20:02] a quick question to everyone: is xinerama currently supported in 9.10 amd64? [20:02] [coda] do you have any idea? [20:02] Sylphid|work: that seems to be doing it ... on this topic, how do I get rid of old kernel installations? I've got 10-15 kernel images installed and I just want to keep the last 5 or so. [20:02] how do i install ubuntu 9.10 from CD? when the partitioner starts it's not possible to install to /dev/sda1 (the HD), because /media/cdrom is mounted!! (with the liveCD) [20:02] hwilde: hmm, what sort is the onboard? ac97, or HDA? [20:02] Is it possible to 'upgrade' a 32 bit Ubuntu to 64 bit? (On a 64 bit machine, obviously) [20:02] fcuk112, probably not easily - can be done though - but it's probably a lot easier just to reinstall [20:02] I must say... the Gnome Desktop Special Effects are great. [20:03] Why I don't have Xorg.conf file ? :) [20:03] * Take0n hello folks [20:03] i have tried multiple samba and smbfs config but i still cant connect to a windows network [20:03] ... remind me of the MacOSX [20:03] (already installed on the HD is ubuntu 8.10, is that interfering?)

[20:03] [coda] aare you there? [20:03] epinky, ok I'll try [20:04] Hey please can someone help me, im new to ubuntu and was just wondering, i installad ubuntu via Wubi and now have wine, is it safe to use the .exe files from my /host/programfiles to run programs under wine or do i need to download and install them again? thanks in advance [20:04] !grub [20:04] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10).

[20:05] In Karmic, I don't have any system bell. I understand pcspkr was blacklisted, and it's supposed to use the gnome alert sound now instead, but I don't get that either. What do I need to do to make the alert sound play in response to things like 'echo -e "\a"'? [20:05] i have karmic installed thats what im running it on [20:05] I already did that with python, but I think I could also have done it with a bash oneliner and that it would probably have been the right thing to do [20:05] harleypig, that should remove all the packages that are no longer needed including old kernels from previous installations [20:05] epinky: I've figured out how to properly add kernel parameters, letting you know fwiw: kernelparams should be behind the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX variable within /etc/default/grub before running "sudo update-grub" [20:05] pizdec ponii [20:05] Chetic, if you have 2 users type "gdmflexiserver" will give you a second login windows - but you can't log in as the same user :( [20:05] http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/TroubleShooting#hda-intel:_no_codecs_found.21 [20:05] interesting.

[20:06] Can anyone recommend a pci-e sound card that will work with 9.10? [20:06] Chetic, sorry F7 & F9 probably [20:06] you could try unloading hda-intel and reloading it with probe_mask=0x1 [20:06] hey guys. what are the differences between opensource java (jdk and jre) vs sun's apart from the obvious philosophical ones? [20:06] Xorg -configure created a xorg.conf.new on /root :S is it normal ? [20:06] or 0x2 [20:06] what does everybody use for an alarm clock? [20:06] and try 0x4 0x8 too. [20:06] ZykoticK9: I just need to move the cursor to get to it :) [20:06] DanaG, yeah i've seen that, but look the modules are all loaded: http://paste.ubuntu.com/310864/ [20:06] ZykoticK9: (and ctrl+alt+#'s didn't work :p) [20:07] Sylphid|work: oh, nice. thx [20:07] harleypig, no problem [20:07] yeah, you have to unload it before you try loading it again. [20:07] aaronfc: yep, copy xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:07] Chetic, sorry is misread your origional statement!!! disregard everything i've said! sorry. [20:07] ashy: im running karmic koala on it i havent tried the live cd [20:07] ZykoticK9: Hahah that almost became messy :P Thanks anyhow :) [20:07] aaronfc: then you can proceed [20:08] Bryce2: check if it works on the livecd [20:08] !a thing [20:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about a thing [20:08] ok hold on...

[20:58] qvqvqv: you would have been able to learn this googling for "segmentation fault", which you should do in the future before asking #ubuntu [20:58] it's hard to explain. Basically it's a problem that the compiler should have caught but doesn't. I could be something like the program expects a variable to be a certain number but somewhere in the code that variable is changed [20:58] FYI [20:58] hi tried to install wubi for my ubuntu desktop, but during installtion i get error occurred---> permission denied on the installation process in windows [20:58] hi, can anyone recommend a more elegant alternative to apt-build?

[20:59] oddly though, it seems as if it's doing it straight away after the kernel has finished initializing. init, sh and libc.so.6 are shown as the culprits, if i boot in recovery mode [20:59] Renan: /join #ubuntu-br [20:59] dskjr: and to start is there something [20:59] Vlw, instalei ontem o Linux^ [21:00] Flannel the problem remains. roman@h4f:~$ sudo apt-get purge rumus [sudo] password for roman: Reading package lists...

[21:30] ashy: sudo fdisk -l [21:31] prower: check out what ubottu said [21:31] !dvd > prower [21:31] prower, please see my private message [21:31] I install flash, reload the page and it works. Next time I start FF, flash does not work anymore. What to do? [21:31] hi, does anyone have a clue how to fix 'apt' when it is very broken, e.g. apt-get update gives 'E: Method /usr/lib/apt/methods/ did not start correctly' [21:31] jrib: Thank you, I know that, I am trying to use Ubuntu like every other Linux implementation that allows for init 1, why is that not working? I understand if you do not know the answer, but I am still look for the answer to my question, not the answer you know perhaps. [21:31] ZykoticK9: Thanks anyway. [21:31] !upstart > MacOS_User [21:31] MacOS_User, please see my private message [21:31] Looking for some apache information with ddns. Anyone here have any expereince? [21:31] loonysalmon, you need the AMD64 livecd to install 64 bit [21:31] MacOS_User: would be my guess. I haven't used karmic. [21:31] Anyone have any suggestions for this scenario: When my computer is connected to my router via DHCP, the internet works just fine. When I create a static IP it will have short bursts of strong connectivity followed by extreme lag. I've verified that there is no IP address conflict, that the Netmask matches that of the router, and that the gateway matches the address of the router. I've also pointed all DNS entries to the router address as w [21:31] ell. Any ideas as to how I can reduce this lag? I need a static IP so that I can keep certain Port Forwarding in place... [21:31] tater: "that's what it goes to" I don't understand what that means? Please describe exactly what you see when you boot your computer after installing? [21:32] My desktop icons are missing (but still at ~/Desktop) - what could be going on? [21:32] MacOS_User: however, it's very unlikely that you would actually ever need to do that [21:32] jrib: thanks [21:32] dshepherd: Thank you for the link, however the DVD I'm attempting to play is not encrypted :> [21:32] ubottu: ok, I am going to read. [21:32] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:32] I dont care what unlikely, I want standardization [21:32] Jorndan_U: give me a sec im researching it [21:32] Hey there, can someone guide me through the correct grub 2 installation on a Win 7 AFTER Karmic boot? Im with livedisc + Terminal atm. fdisk -l output: http://pastebin.com/m613e74dc [21:32] !upstart | MacOS_User [21:32] MacOS_User: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [21:32] prower: oh, well.. i dont know :) [21:32] I want to know that Ubuntu will work like most Linuxes, and how to configure it to do that. [21:32] init 1 should work [21:32] I have scripts and things that I want to run standard [21:33] I dont want some new crap that is non-standard lest its Posix and everyone else changes to it [21:33] test [21:33] How can I hide certain volumes from showing up under the "Places" menu? (I'm on Karmic.) [21:33] prower: maybe you need some codecs. have you install ubuntu-restricted-extras? [21:33] Hi, I just booted the 9.10 i386 live cd and would like to install the amd64 version from here, how do I go ahead and do that? [21:33] thanks ubottu. I will look at the link [21:33] MacOS_User, Ubuntu is NOT like every other linux out there! It evolves and changes... [21:33] MacOS_User: there's no such thing as "standard" really... [21:33] Or in the alternative how do I get my sound network etc icons back in the panel? [21:33] MacOS_User: Upstart is used by debian, fedora, and other distros. [21:33] The "Places" menu is showing me encrypted volume icons, which I don't need to display. I want them hidden from the "Places" menu. [21:33] then it is not useful in a commercial environment [21:33] dshepherd: I believe so, but I'll double-check and try it again [21:33] Jordan_U: CentOS and RedHat honor "init 1" [21:33] MacOS_User: The "standard" is to use event base now.. [21:33] loonysalmon, get the AMD64 Live CD instead [21:34] thanks [21:34] Solaris, AIX, and many other Unixes use init 1, even RedHat, SuSE and CentOS, its broken in Ubuntu! [21:34] figured there was a more simple way than that [21:34] MacOS_User: it's not broken. Ubuntu uses upstart [21:34] MacOS_User: out of pure interest - which standard describes the sysv-rc style as standard? [21:35] MacOS_User, please take this to offtopic or better yet drop it all together [21:35] Jordan_U: i did some research and found that i have problem with dhcp "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol" [21:35] is there a KEY Shortcut to use the letter"raise" function in oppenoffice ? [21:35] MacOS_User: Please don't assume that your exact needs are what is required for something to be "usefull in a commercial environment", All Unixes have their differences. Red Hat has given me amazing grief in a corporate environment with their crazy non-standard grub patches [21:35] ok, I see some special thing that only Ubuntu uses per the upstart docs, rats. Rather liked Ubuntu, dont want some non-standard crapola. [21:36] lol [21:36] I cannot deploy it in a commercial environment if it is substantially deviant from normal unix functional manners. [21:36] Ubuntu is the windows of the linux world sadly [21:36] MacOS_User: Then don't use it? Or did you just drop by for a little trolling practice? [21:36] hence is lack of stadnard I guess [21:36] MacOS_User: did you read my question in regards to the standard you are talking of? === Mike_lifeguard is now known as Mike||gone [21:36] I was hoping there was some mod or manner to make it work standard [21:36] MacOS_User: there's no such tthing as "normal" or "standard" but it is what it is. Do you have a support question still? [21:36] is there a simple way to mirror a HTTP directory? [21:36] I love it as an os, but am not big on some policy and changes. [21:36] hey, my system died, and I am reinstalling now. however i am having some wierd issues with the amount of spaced used on my drive. it says 0 gb left, and 266 gb used - it is a 1.5 tb drive. where did it go? [21:36] Init is the standard for every unix [21:36] is there a KEY Shortcut to use the letter"raise" function in oppenoffice ? [21:36] MacOS_User: see afflux [21:37] afflux is wrong [21:37] Solaris doesnt use upstart [21:37] aix does not use upstart [21:37] macos does not use upstart [21:37] MacOS_User: And yet you didn't answer his question [21:37] MacOS_User: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:37] ahp-ux does not use upstart [21:37] standards evolve [21:37] redhat does not use upstart [21:37] MacOS_User: easy to prove him wrong. Provide the reference. Anyway, this needs to move to #ubuntu-offtopic. It's no longer a support question [21:37] centos does not use upstart [21:37] whats the oppenoffice channel? [21:37] suse does not use upstart [21:37] Hey there, can someone guide me through the correct grub 2 installation on a Win 7 AFTER Karmic boot? Im with livedisc + Terminal atm. fdisk -l output: http://pastebin.com/m613e74dc [21:37] whats the name? [21:37] MacOS_User: that's because some unixes decided to follow the SysV way of initialising. there is no formal definition of a standard. [21:37] they all honor init x and telinit commands [21:37] MacOS_User: Yet, since Fedora does it will eventually [21:37] yes, SYSV is the standard. [21:37] lol, OCD [21:38] MacOS_User: de facto - maybe. [21:38] whats the oppenoffice channel? [21:38] MacOS_User: MS Windows is a defacto standard too. [21:38] MacOS_User: Then I guess you shouldn't use OS X [21:38] MacOS_User: Nice single line spamming there, you still haven't answered his question [21:38] !ooo | awayguy [21:38] awayguy: a free and open source office suite that includes word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components.

[21:38] hey everyone i have a little problem when i install ubuntu 9.1 into my hard drive then when everything is said and done...and restart the computer all i get is a dhcp??? with numbers so i pop the cd back in and i can try ubuntu before i install it to my hard drive and i really dont know what can be the cause of that!?!?!?!?!?!? any advice,comments, or help on this subject [21:38] Channel can we stop feeding the MacOS_User troll! please [21:38] call it what you want, but its what everyone uses in unix, this implementation ought to give people a choice to have it or work like it did before. [21:38] they are breaking scripts and that [21:38] hey [21:38] I just created an ext3 partition how do I change it permissions so I don't have to do a gksu with file manager [21:38] MacOS_User: it doesn't seem to be everyone using it. [21:38] how do i replace dhcp3 with dhcpcd? [21:38] MacOS_User: drop the conversation here please. Move it to #ubuntu-offtopic if you wish to discuss what is standard and not standard [21:38] Is it okay to reask my question that wasn't answered earlier? [21:38] MacOS_User: If you're writing scripts that will only run in single user mode you probably don't know what you're doing [21:39] MacOS_User: you can still use your script in Upstart [21:39] (I know about !question) [21:39] flan_suse: yep, wait about 10 minutes though [21:39] MacOS_User: upstart can still run sysv scripts [21:39] jrib, okay. [21:39] Ook, the Open Group sets the standard for Linux, and SYSV and init are part of its standards.

[21:45] kilo, ok but if you set up a DHCP reservation on the router, i.e. a mac address to ip address mapping, you can get the same IP every time through DHCP [21:45] gip: and what did it return? [21:45] so that would presumably fix it ... [21:45] and allow you to port forward [21:45] Edward123: rFR adobe-flashplugin 10.0.32.18-1 Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10 [21:46] qvqvqv, interesting... I've never done it that way! I'm gonna check the router settings and see where that is... [21:46] how to uninstall Adobe Flash player plugin [21:46] hi [21:46] Now that I am calmer..... All I want to do is restore my gnome desktop to default to get back my lost sound, network, icons and etc next to the clock. [21:46] how can i run a script that requieres root privileges when i start gnome? [21:46] some routers don't have that setting but hopefully yours will ! [21:46] gip, OK so looks like that's the name of the package. you can either man dpkg in the terminal and see how to remove a package that way, or you can run sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin [21:46] hey does anyone know of a program that tracks events in ubuntu like shutdowns and the causes for them? i am having spontaneous restarts [21:47] wrektjet, the 'last' command i think will show reboots [21:47] qvqvqv, I hope so, it's a linksys about 2 years old, but we'll see.... [21:47] hi guys [21:47] If I install from source a newer version of a program that is already installed from the repos, do I need to do anything special to prevent conflicts during apt updates? [21:47] but probably not the cause, you may want to look at the files in /var/log [21:47] anyone gotten steam working under 9.10? [21:47] aendruk: no. [21:48] oh fanatastic [21:48] crash is the cause [21:48] holy hell [21:48] alankila: assuming you install to /usr/local/, then no [21:48] hello all [21:48] A friend fixed it. Sorry to bother yall [21:48] How can I hide certain volumes from showing up under the "Places" menu? (I'm on Karmic.)

[21:50] qvqvqv, unfortunately, it does not look like my linksys router offers MAC filtering...ah well, back to the drawing board...

[22:00] aaronfc: Try installing "powertop" and running "sudo powertop" in a terminal, it will give you suggestions for things to do to save power [22:00] prower: Well i hope they will get catched up by the upstreamer and repair those. [22:00] Jordan_U ok thanks, but I want to know how can I reduce for example my intel core 2 duo frequency [22:00] damagednoob, i know it'll log it but it its the program that thinks its still plugged in so it'll be logged as plugged in when its not [22:01] kjele: I'd hope so too, it seems to be a bit of a waste of time to include a "report a problem" option in apps that lead to launchpad if they're just going to tell you to report it to GNOME instead though [22:01] damagednoob, more than anything i wanted to see if it'd been reported as a bug or if its just myself (laptop) thats doing it [22:01] aaronfc: That is done automatically, you can also do it manually with the cpu frequency scaling applet ( right click your pannel, and choose add to pannel ) [22:01] on the plus side i know how to fix just about all of my problems, move back to 9.04 and stay there like i should have :> [22:02] Jester05: That is bad. The only thing you can do is file a bug report and hope for it to be fixed asap :( \ It could also be the kernel. So if you switch to an older one it might help. [22:02] hey all, ive got a pc i just used wubi to install 64-bit ubuntu, i just booted iinto ubuntu and its a blank background and nothing more, never showed me a load up screen or anything. [22:02] okay [22:02] ok thanks [22:02] kjele, i'm going to be installing arch linux later, i'll see how that goes [22:02] prower: They are just lazy. [22:02] Can anyone recommend a pci-e audio card that will work with karmic? [22:02] Jordan_U, ok thanks, Im getting 30W :S it's too much I think [22:03] aaronfc: Check if changing the CPU frequency actually saves power, often letting your CPU use full frequency, when it needs it, means that it actully accomplishes the task faster, and can stay in a more efficient sleep state for longer [22:03] yes: ondemand is the most efficient setting [22:04] Jester05: Okey. I tried Arch but when I looked at the installer it was a bit a mess. [22:04] Jordan_U ok Jordan, how can I set which brightness is set when on battery mode ? [22:04] kjele, i've run arch in the past.. installation is not a problem [22:04] black screen when shutting down but no when rebooting. Any ideas? [22:04] i had it fully configured to my old laptop and it ran brilliantly [22:04] jacobopertman try restarting the coomp and when it ask u what u want to do. press f4 and choose safe grafics mode [22:04] hey. I'm wondering: I've got a Radeon 9800 Pro video adapter and I got far too much trouble with recent Ubuntu version that use the open source driver. To what version of Ubuntu should I revert to have fairly recent packages and proprietary driver support? [22:04] does anybody know how to migrate from a site without ssh to one with ssh without copying to local pc first? [22:05] looking to change my default java -- I have installed sun on 9.10 however which java and java -version still indicate I'm using the open java [22:05] ? === fito_ is now known as blackenedaemos [22:05] aaronfc: System > Preferences > Power Management [22:05] compiled the kernel around the pentium M processor too [22:05] trism, VCoolio , thanks.. [22:05] jacobopeterman try restarting the coomp and when it ask u what u want to do. press f4 and choose safe grafics mode [22:05] Jester05: Well the installer's font was so small and they had the A letter surronding the whole box. It was just too hard to read. [22:05] It let me "Reduce brightness" but not how much [22:05] I myself was thinking about Intrepid or Hardy ... but Hardy is LTS and somewhat older and Intrepid is no-LTS but more recent [22:05] ty ubuntu [22:05] ttf-mscorefonts-installer does not install, how do I fix this? [22:05] trism, VCoolio , but it does display file type extensions to be treated as a certain type.. but doesn't change nautilus' association.. :/ [22:05] Jordan_U It let me "Reduce brightness" but not how much [22:06] kjele, sounds like a graphix driver issue [22:06] does anyone know of resources to begin investigating crashes? [22:06] i was advised to send a 148 MB single compressed file from one ubuntu machine to another remote ubuntu machine using openssh and scp. i checked these, but can i also use the 'Remote Desktop' that comes preinstalled in 9.04 to place a file on another machine or is that just for viewing someone else desktop? [22:06] wrektjet, dmesg [22:06] does someone know what /dev is my keyboard? [22:06] Jester05: It was on my virtual machine. [22:06] kjele, did u try to do a safe-graphix [22:06] wrektjet, or /var/log/systemXx ? [22:07] How can i find out what /dev is my Keyboard? [22:07] kjele, that'd explain it... vm'n stuff like that is a little sketchy [22:07] philipp__, maybe ps2 or usbinput ? [22:07] the lines i need - right before reetart- just say "MARK" [22:07] usertwo: I think you can, but scp is more staightforeward [22:07] i mean i've done it.. but ive had issues also [22:07] philipp__, with the help of dmesg [22:07] bp, in the var/log file all they say are ---MARK---- [22:07] aaronfc: you might be able to do it with scripting. [22:07] JOrdan [22:07] anyone run openbox? I may have to openbox me some windows 7 later [22:07] wrektjet, u can wikipedia magic sys resc key [22:08] bp: yeah, I'm not sure as well what assogiate is good for [22:08] Jester05: I was trying different distro to see how user friendly they were. [22:08] wrektjet, probably the kernel oops pervented writing more log.. [22:08] Jester05: What is open box? [22:08] kjele, makes sense.. arch will not be ur distro if u want user friendly lol [22:08] Jordan_U: openshh client comes pre-installed in 9.04, so does the remote machine need anything else? (I am the one sending the file to the remote machine) [22:08] VCoolio, its good for editing file types.. but doesn't do the nautilus association... nor am i sure how it does.. [22:09] nwadams, how to run a script on booting ? [22:09] bp: easiest probably still right click file in nautilus, then properties, then open with tab [22:09] How do I update to 9.10 from a command line? I don't want to use the graphical upgrade manager from the console. [22:09] VCoolio, y.. [22:09] kjele, openbox is a vm type program... works great, but i would download it from the site vs using ubuntu's apt-get.. seems like the ubuntu version they pull has less features [22:09] yrlnry: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KarmicUpgrades#Network%20Upgrade%20for%20Ubuntu%20Servers%20(Recommended) [22:09] Flannel: thanks. [22:10] geeks.com was selling a 32inch lcd tv for $249 so I thought why not [22:10] aaronfc: that I don't know how to do. I just use the auto dimming setting, as well my bios allows me to set the default brightness on battery. I may be able to help you through it but I am far from experienced in scripting [22:10] bp i dont find it [22:10] kjele, it allows USB pass-thru/intelligent USB pass-thru [22:10] yrlnry: why dont you wanna use the package manager? [22:10] ubuntu, that worked, its installing the system. do you know if i will have to run safe graphics mode everytime i boot up? or just for installation [22:10] i used it and was nice and easy to use [22:10] aaronfc: There may be an easier way, but you can modify it in gconf-editor [22:10] I recently installed 9.10 & after installing a bunch of packages with apt-get somehow (nearly?) all my packages are now marked in synaptic as Installed (manual). Can I reverse this, or should I just reinstall everything? [22:10] ok.. Empathy: I got a notification "subscription request from sarah". what does this mean, and how do I access it? [22:10] Edward123: if I uninstall Firefox will that uninstall Adobe flash plugin [22:10] nwadams, and I can do it from my bios ? [22:10] I assume it's someone who wants to become friends [22:10] Jester05: I see. [22:10] Jordan_U ok, I'll take a look :) [22:10] phillies_fan, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key === pollywog is now known as froglet2 [22:11] brendan-: because X applications run really really slow on that machine. [22:11] ahhhh [22:11] wrektjet, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [22:11] fair enough [22:11] How do I figure out where a recent and apparently broken change in url handling for firefox came from? [22:11] how i can find where x-chat's folder is located? [22:11] aaronfc: Apps > Gnome Power Manager > Backlight [22:11] jacobopeterman no u shouldn't have to. just make sure u install the restricted drivers and set ur resolution to one that is excepted by ur monitor [22:11] karmic is just bad news. The installer has to be broken and even my netbook is having problems waking [22:11] how can i find out what /dev is my keyboard? [22:11] alazyworkaholic1: Please pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get update` (close synaptic first) [22:11] Jaunty was much better [22:11] Ioneye, ".application" under home folder (which means it's in .xchat something like that) [22:11] I'm given the source code with makefiles to some drivers but with no info about dependencies. How do I know what dependencies it wants? [22:11] philipp__: For what purpose? [22:12] nevermind, I found it [22:12] froglet2: I'd suggest moving back to 9.04 I've run across at least 3 showstopper bugs that probably aren't going to be fixed any time soon [22:12] Chetic_: What drivers? [22:12] Ioneye it's probably in your home directory under .xchat2 [22:12] can someone help me to uninstall Adobe flash player plugin [22:12] i wanna make a hotkey tool in perl [22:12] Jordan_U: gspca [22:12] I'd lick to reprogram a couple keys on my notebook's keyboard. Anyone know what file(s) I need to edit? [22:12] Jester05: Do you have a link? [22:12] philipp__, what type of keyboard is it? [22:12] yrlnry: try: [22:12] sudo apt-get update [22:12] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [22:12] ? [22:12] philipp__, bluetooth? [22:12] brendan-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:12] any file preceeded with . is normally hidden [22:12] bp the default keyboard of my notebook [22:12] is there a Ubuntu .img that i can easily write to a usb flash drive? [22:12] bp its build in [22:12] Chetic_: That's included in Ubuntu by default [22:12] prower: yes I am about to put the desktop machine back on Jaunty and the netbook later if the problems get worse [22:13] Can any one help me to fix the applications menu? [22:13] I can't seem to find it on the ubuntu site..am I blind? [22:13] Chetic_: Why are you compiling it? [22:13] Jordan_U: modprobe gspca says module not found [22:13] philipp__, you're trying to make a shortcut with bash? [22:13] i'm having a problem with my resolution in Karmic with fglrx and a radeon HD3200 over HDMI -- trying to do 720p and the screen is skewed to the right. It worked in Jaunty (although I had the same problem when I first dist-upgraded to Jaunty) and it just showed up again after dist-upgrading to Karmic. [22:13] bp no with perl [22:13] froglet2: Well if your experience is anything like mine they aren't going to get better :> I have a total of six bug reports open now, at least four of them I've been told to "report it upstream" and "upstream" isn't paying any attention to them [22:13] Chetic_: It is many modules, all starting with "gspca_" [22:13] philipp__, so try a perl script that reads scan codes.. [22:13] Can someone help me to uninstall Adobe flash player plugin? [22:13] gotta go [22:14] Jordan_U: Ah.. can I get a list of modules starting with gspca_? [22:14] Flannel: http://pastebin.com/d36ffa41a I think that looks normal, but I'd like to have things 'just so' especially since it's a fresh install. [22:14] kjele, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=openbox [22:14] bp i know what you think... no i dont wanna make a keylogger [22:14] Chetic_: type "modprobe gspca" in a terminal then hit tab twice [22:14] prower: I am afraid to reboot the netbook for fear it will not boot, so I will let it sleep without rebooting it, until the desktop machine is working [22:14] brendan-: that's what I tried before I came here. It's not the thing. [22:15] Jordan_U: Sweet! Thanks :D [22:15] brendan-: Flannel had the right answer [22:15] ahh [22:15] Chetic_: np :) [22:15] k [22:15] bp i wanna make automatical clicks in dota so that i dont have to click at the spell [22:15] thanks bp, but im more like suddenly and instantaneously restarting rather than freezing [22:15] philipp__: this isn't a programming support channel [22:15] hi, there is a mode for save desktop icon position? [22:15] hi [22:15] Does silverligth works on ubuntu? [22:15] alazyworkaholic1: Yeah, it does look normal. I'm not sure why it'd claim most of your packages are manually installed. Can you give an example or two? [22:16] tenoch1: Sort of, via "moonlight" [22:16] some ubuntu developer has a sense of humor [22:16] would anyone suspect that an error in the MBR could be causing my system to suddenly restart out of nowhere in middle of running either win7 OS or ubuntu 9.04 OS? [22:16] Can someone help me to uninstall Adobe flash player? [22:16] ikonia i just wanna know what /dev is my default keyboard.... the rest already works [22:16] wrektjet: no [22:16] Jester05: Nice link. Tried Xmonad?` [22:16] Jordan_U to make a hotkey tool in perl [22:16] Jester05: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xmonad [22:16] I just installed karmic and I have no sound at all does anybody can help me to understand difference between alsa & pulse (I'm alsa friendly) and what can I do to test my driver ? I use intel HD, thank you [22:16] Is canonical going to add support for the 190.42 nvidia driver? [22:16] ikonia, hmmm ok then i have no leads [22:16] Jordan_U and no its NOT a keylogger - . - [22:17] Flannel: Um, absolutely everything. [22:17] philipp__: Reading from the device won't work [22:17] Jordan_U: yeah i was trying to watch nbcsports football game and it prompted me to install moonlight but it did not solve my problem [22:17] Jordan_U why? [22:17] philipp__: X will be taking all of the events first [22:17] howto save desktop icon position? where is the configuration file? Wich package manage the desktop icon position? thanks [22:17] alazyworkaholic1: Alright, well, pick... three of them. And then pastebin the otuput of: apt-cache policy package1 package2 package3 [22:17] Unlikely Trizicus. The nvidia drivers are developed by nvidia [22:17] philipp__, You seem pretty insistant about telling people it's not a keylogger when nobody asked :> [22:17] Flannel: Everything in "Installed" & the half-dozen packages in Installed (local or obsolete) [22:18] alazyworkaholic1: Oh, I thought they were listed under local/obsolete. I'm not sure what you're referring to about manual installation. [22:18] insm0d: I mean when you click on "Hardware Drivers" you see the 2 older nvidia drivers but not the newest [22:18] prower cause if they think i make one the simply dont answer and dont ask [22:18] how is gftp for transferring files? [22:18] qvqvqv, Well, thank you for your help... it turned out to be a DNS entry issue... For some reason none of the computers function properly when I put the address of the linksys router as the DNS entry, so I bypassed it by letting the comp get an addy vis DHCP, writing down the DNS info, and just implanted that in the static listing. problem solved... sorta... I worry that the DNS value could change. [22:19] kjele, i like that xmonad.. i gotta lok more into thi [22:19] this* [22:19] is gentoo based on debian as ubuntu ? will I be able to install .deb on gentoo ? [22:19] but my class is over so i gotta go guys, have a good one [22:19] prower i can send you the script if you dont belive me [22:19] h4f: Gentoo is source distro [22:19] kilo, how odd! glad you got it fixed though :) [22:19] h4f: no it's not and no you can't, join #gentoo for support [22:19] Trizicus: I know [22:19] h4f: gentoo has their own package system [22:19] h4f: so it's whatever you make it [22:19] h4f. no gentoo uses it's on thing called portage. It installs everything from source [22:19] for some reason though, upgrading jaunty to karmic seems to work so long as one uses apt-get or aptitude to do the deed [22:19] it is possible save desktop icon position in ubuntu? [22:19] so can you just tell me what device could be my laptop keyboard? [22:20] I installed wine but i dont see it in the applications menu [22:20] anyone have issues accessing the printers setup in ubuntu? [22:20] qvqvqv, I know right?? I'm sure it's the router, since that setup *SHOULD* have worked... ah well. [22:20] its all i wanna know [22:20] mine keeps erroring out before loading it [22:20] Jester05: It might get complicated but need some feelings to work the new way. [22:20] Trizicus: even if its source distro does it require you to install everythig from source or you can instal precompiled [22:20] Flannel: Left hand pane of Synaptic has All ; Installed ; Installed (local or obsolete) ; Installed (manual) ; Installed (upgradable) ; Not Installed ; Not Installed (residual) . I'd like to know why everything that's installed normally or locally is also under the Installed (manual) section. [22:20] boom [22:20] Hi everyone [22:20] h4f: I've never played w/ gentoo as it's source based and I don't have enough time play around with that sooooooo [22:21] So i have two partitions. A 9.4 partition, with the encrypted home folder, and a 9.10 partition. I want to recover my data from my 9.4 home folder from 9.10. Any idea how I get through the encryption? [22:21] MajorGeek: HI [22:21] hi, so i installed ubuntu 64-bit on wubi, and my wireless keyboard/mouse that plug into a usb receiver are not working...they with bios. any ideas? [22:21] h4f. You can install dpkg in gentoo, but some debian packages may be broken and it will complain about not having proper dependancies [22:21] so can you just tell me what device could be my laptop keyboard? [22:21] philipp__: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=301244 [22:21] hello .. how can i change permission to a folder that i have mounted ?? it is an ntfs drive ... i can see it as aroot now.. but i want it to have full permissions.. what should i do ? === Chybeck is now known as Chybeck`Aw [22:21] insm0d: ok thanks. [22:22] tenoch1: You may be out of luck [22:22] hi tenoch1 [22:22] whats the command to check on the systems uptime? im going to work and want to see if the comp restarts while im gone [22:22] alazyworkaholic1: It looks like a bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/424643 [22:22] uptime [22:22] Jordan_U its a script that have some root commands [22:22] oddly enough wrektjet [22:22] :p [22:22] h4f: I would actually recommend rpm based distros before over debian based [22:22] wrektjet: "uptime" [22:22] hey all need a bit of atheros wireless help. my wireless does show up in lspci, but it wont work. i have already done the backports jaunty. how do update the driver pack? or install the new driver from the updates? [22:22] how do i get the IP address of the remote machine I want to scp to? [22:22] wrektjet, "uptime" in terminal ;) [22:22] ping it [22:22] dunks thanks [22:22] np [22:22] or use the hostname usertwo [22:22] does ubuntu update iso images when bugs get fixed? [22:22] thanks all :) simple enuff [22:22] Jordan_U: you think using wine to run windows firefox could work? [22:22] hello, how can i save desktop icon position ? [22:23] Godfather_: What commands? ( it matters ) [22:23] is it ok to use both gnome keyring and kde wallet (separately) on the same system? [22:23] Trizicus: huh? you're using ubuntu .. deb based [22:23] Kuriouz: I'm testing :) [22:23] Trizicus: what are the pros of rpm based ? === nactus is now known as lenny [22:23] does anyone have much experience getting a laptop wireless card to work on 9.04 or 9.10? I have 9.10 installed, but the OS doesn't seem to give any indication that it has detected a wireless card... [22:23] hi, so i installed ubuntu 64-bit on wubi, and my wireless keyboard/mouse that plug into a usb receiver are not working...they with bios. any ideas? [22:23] anthi_, simply changing ownership of the root folder of a mounted filesystem will not work, as technically root mounts the filesystem [22:23] h4f: Main pro is diff arch install until apt-get [22:23] does anyone happen to have a link to download the 9.04 iso's? i'd like to have things working properly on my system again [22:23] kilo did you google for your card? [22:23] Jordan_U ifconfig.... route add default gw... echo 192.168... > /etc/resolv.conf [22:23] tenoch1: Probably not, I did a quick search and didn't see anyone saying it worked ( and it would be a well known work around if it did ) [22:24] tenoch1, http://www.tuxradar.com/content/browser-benchmarks-2-even-wine-beats-linux-firefox <-- yes [22:24] ok [22:24] kilo, what is your wireless card? did you check System - Administration - Hardware Drivers ? [22:24] Trizicus: gotta disagree with you on that part .. you should be using aptitude anyways at the very least [22:24] does ubuntu update iso images when bugs get fixed? [22:24] Godfather_: Why not set that up in network-manager? [22:24] froglet2: normally only with LTS releases [22:24] oic ty [22:24] :( [22:24] Kuriouz: You still cannot install different arch natively [22:24] th0r it isnt /dev/stdin [22:24] Jordan_U its inside VirtualBox, i changed it with network-manager but not applies, very strange [22:24] how can i have my ntfs drive automatically mounted everytime i log into ubuntu so that i can access the files that i have in NTFS and edit them ?? [22:25] Flannel: Ugh, ok thanks, I'll live with it for now. I hope they'll put out an update for this. Karmic has been terrible so far. None of the closed source linux games I bought work on it properly now. [22:25] philipp__, you were already told that that's not the way... you might look at the autokey package, though [22:25] Jordan_U can you enter via vnc and see it? [22:25] froglet2: yes, but latest is always repos ( or even launchpad) [22:25] philipp__: why not ? [22:25] Godfather_: What do you mean it doesn't apply? [22:25] ikonia, I guess that means stay with Jaunty until the next LTS release [22:25] igama, I should've checked that first, but there is nothing listed there. [22:25] alazyworkaholic, I've had the same problem, Quake 4 is completely broken [22:25] froglet2: that's your call === kb is now known as Guest46932 [22:25] alazyworkaholic1: Interesting. I encourage you to file bugs about them on launchpad [22:25] (among other things, like half of the desktop software i've tried :P) [22:25] Kurioz: Unless I am missing something about install diff arch sw w/ aptitude? [22:25] Jordan_U, i put static ip, enter the ips, i apply, then i see ifconfig and not changed [22:25] Godfather_: I don't use VNC much, is there are read only connection? ( you really shouldn't give a stranger access to your computer :) [22:25] kilo, what is your wireless card? [22:25] froglet2, unfortunately, I can't seem to find the model of this toshiba, it's an older unit (like 2 years old) [22:26] igama, I'm not sure... I'm trying to find a model number for this toshiba [22:26] Trizicus: you can force stuff .. but i'll get messy when it's clean up time ... so i wouldn't recommend package managment is about keeping everything consistent [22:26] kilo, do this : Open a terminal - Applications - Accesories : [22:26] anthi_, try using the ntfs-3g filesystem option in /etc/fstab. Standard ntfs doesn't really allow real write support and only root can acess the files [22:26] Jordan_U i give you l/p in priv ok? [22:26] whats that? [22:26] kilo perhaps dmesg can give you info on the card [22:26] Godfather_: Did you choose that connection from the applet or make that connection "connect automatically" ? [22:26] how do I add a bash script to my menu? [22:26] hi, there is a mode for save desktop icon position? it is gnome problem or nautilus problem? [22:26] kilo: lspci tells a lot, hwinfo even more detailed info about it [22:26] Godfather_: That's plain text [22:26] kilo and write : lspci | grep Network [22:26] hi, i want to combine the following two path strings, how should it read? : declare -x PATH="/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin/:/usr/local/sbin/" [22:26] Kuriouz: One reason why I like rpm lol [22:26] or the boot logger [22:26] declare -x PATH="/Database/gcc4.3.2/bin:$PATH" [22:26] Flannel: That -would- be ideal, -if- the result of reporting bugs on launchpad wasn't 90% of the time "report it upstream" :> I haven't reported one bug against 9.10 yet that was even assigned to anybody, even after having them confirmed [22:26] Godfather_: So don't do that [22:26] tyler_d: create a launcher that runs the script [22:26] my brightness changes by 2 steps instead of 1 by default on 9.10. Does anyone know a way to fix this? (xps m1330 laptop) [22:26] ikonia cause there is no output from [22:26] Jordan_U l/p in private msg to connect to my vnc server [22:26] philipp@philipp:~$ sudo od -tx1 /dev/stdin [22:27] philipp__: you can't interact with device files like that [22:27] and ip of course [22:27] tyler_d: either you run it using "gnome-terminal -c" if you want to see it.. or "bash -c" if you don't want to see it [22:27] kilo: gnome-device-manager for a gui [22:27] ok i am the root i have already mounted the ntfs drive but i cant edit them ... [22:27] atheros wireless help please [22:27] Godfather_: I can give you my public ssh key, then you can allow me in but nobody else would be able to use it [22:27] i see the device in lspci, but cant install the driver [22:27] tyler_d: or you can just run it like an executable.. that works too [22:27] need cmd to install driver from repository [22:27] there is a possibility to manage desktop icon on my ubuntu? [22:27] you are probably using the standard ntfs driver anthi_. Google ntfs-3g for more help [22:28] ikonika okey... how can i read the keyboard input without having the window active? [22:28] Problem #2. I'm trying to get America's Army to work. It installed without a problem.

[22:56] it should be noted that hibernate worked OK beforehand, i.e. it's not hibernate that is broken [22:56] unperson: Oh, I tried :> Reported on launchpad that DVD's of any kind are completely unplayable in karmic, I was told to go report it upstream instead [22:56] (I did that too of course, but upstream isn't answering) [22:56] naxxfish: perhaps shut it down, pull the plug and let it rest for a minute or two will let it restore itself.. you might want to ask about this in ##hardware too [22:56] batang_g: in the source manager, remove the CD devices as a source option [22:56] Does anyone know why openAl would cause severe sound garbling in 9.10? It worked fine before. I'm trying to play Penumbra, but it won't work. [22:56] Bug #1: flashplayer doesn't register my left mouse clicks. It looks like this is a well known bug and my best option is to purge the flashplayer-nonfree package and install direct from Adobe's site. Anyone disagree or have something to add on that point? [22:56] prower: tried vlc ? [22:57] :| [22:57] Slart: I'll give it a go - but when I upgraded the RAM it was unplugged for quite a while [22:57] DasEi: Nope, let's give that a try [22:57] H2O: the key is the second step in the howto; just read on [22:57] ikonia: i'll try that. thanks.

I download kile 2.0 to my home directory. tar jxf kile-2.0b1.tar.bz2 then cd kile-2.0b1 then I configured it ./configure --prefix=$HOME/kile-bin [22:58] Bryce1: try doing cat /etc/resolv.conf on both your install and the livecd, make sure they're the same [22:58] prower: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricte-extras vlc << I had no probs by that [22:58] are ready triad ........ [22:58] ok [22:59] prower, I always had better luck with VLC than Totem for DVDs [22:59] DasEi, ya, it looks like restricted, universe and multiverse are all listed. I tried to find hwinfo in the synaptic package manager and no luck. [22:59] Incidentally the DVD -will- play in VLC, so it -is- a Totem problem in karmic that didn't exist in Jaunty [22:59] Bryce1: I had similar problems and it turned out to be dns issue [22:59] prower: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras vlc << I had no probs by that (typo above) [22:59] prower, Actually, I generally avoid totem [22:59] wahaj: then wat ?

[23:00] prower, Oh good. Well that's a partial solution, anyway. :-) [23:01] qvqvqv: that would be a guest - not a host [23:01] how can i enable/disable the startup services? there is a command but i cant rembember [23:01] DasEi, I'll take a look, thanks!

[23:09] I am running jaunty side by side with karmic. No problems with Jaunty [23:09] probes for kernel modules [23:09] DasEi: i was told aptitude works better\ [23:09] phixxor: loads modules [23:09] modprobe is used to load kernel modules [23:09] My internet wasn't working, and then I tried sudo modprobe ath5k and it worked, does that make sense? [23:09] or someone here can make a libstd++5 package and tell others where to download it from [23:09] should I wait til a lot of the bugs get worked out before upgrading?

[23:28] DanielcAtPhp -> you were using fdisk? how many partitions did you create? [23:28] ikonia, Linux menthol-laptop 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [23:28] Lutra: ask a question then [23:28] Blue1 ok cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled [23:28] okay, you aren't actually root then. You just su-ed [23:28] i have errors installing package and apt-get install -f aren't fixing it. what else can i try to get this unstuck === froglet2 is now known as froglet [23:28] Menthol: if you don't know what you're doing - typing sudo su is a bad idea [23:28] kilo : file on Desk ? [23:28] Is there a reason that upgrading to 9.10 wants to remove selinux and install apache? I really don't want apache... [23:28] Blue1: then ln -s ../mods-available/userdir.* ./ [23:28] JuJuBee: yes there - there is no user* [23:28] MenZa: did the GRUB2 errors most likely apply to the Karmic Alphas? [23:29] n8tuser: the 9.10 server installer cd has a text menu driven interface for partitioning. [23:29] ikonia, i did that to have full access and install the things that i need [23:29] Blue1: follow my last 2 directions it will create them [23:29] boodroscotch: I remember having some running the beta, but after a fresh install with final, it works like a charm. [23:29] Menthol: you don't need to do that - hence why I'm saying if you don't know what you're doing, that command is a bad idea [23:29] Menthol, in the future it is good practice to just use sudo to accomplish what you need [23:29] ikonia, i told you this is my first time i am using linux. [23:29] MenZa: Thanks a lot. I'll install right away :D [23:29] ikonia: You might do better to tell him the "right" way to do it rather than insult his intelligence? :> [23:29] DanielcAtPhp -> okay, and what happens when you choose to make partitions? [23:29] Menthol: yes, so that's even more reason nott to use that command [23:29] boodroscotch: Good luck! We're always available if you do happen to run into problems. :) [23:30] insm0d, ok i get it [23:30] prower: I'm getting there, I'm not insulting his intelligence in the slightlyest [23:30] ikonia, ok but what now [23:30] Menthol: drop out of the root shell [23:30] ikonia, how? [23:30] I installed Karmic instead of Hardy, and it took about 2 hours just on configurin apt, after it finished, I found a that the source of the problem was a bug that caused slow networking, I gave up searching a solution after a while, and decided to reinstall Hardy, and it's stuck on configuring-apt, probably from the same reason [23:30] "exit" [23:30] Menthol: "exit" [23:30] JuJuBee: okay done - required root [23:30] ikonia: Incidentally slightlyest isn't even a word, but fair enough :P [23:30] ikonia, done [23:31] prower: fat finger problem [23:31] Lutra -> what kind of networking bug? [23:31] Blue1: sorry forgot that... [23:31] Menthol: ok - so where is the source file you want to copy ? [23:31] Blue1: now sudo apachectl restart [23:31] ikonia, on my usb flash drive [23:31] Blue1: now sudo apache2ctl restart [23:31] Menthol: where is that mounted ? [23:31] n8tuser: very very very slow network\ [23:31] insm0d, are you there? [23:31] Blue1: should have access to public_html now [23:31] thebloggu, yeah, what do you need? [23:31] Hi I've installed libnss-ldap, this installs some other packages as well, somehow the configuration done by me was not ok but after an purge/install it does not ask the configuration questions again [23:32] kilo : cd ~/Desktop && wget http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/rtl8187b/rtl8187b-modified-dist.tar.gz [23:32] insm0d, if i do xterm -e "script" it works [23:32] Lutra -> umm.. and you attribute that to the os? are you sure the far end is not busy ? [23:32] ikonia, here in my computer, when i plugged it in appeared on my desktop === froglet is now known as froglet_ [23:32] I've tried dpkg-reconfigure but this is not helping [23:32] insm0d, but if i only run the script it wont work [23:32] helllloooooo vietnam!!! [23:32] Menthol: ok - so it's going to be in /media I'd guess [23:32] JuJuBee: I think I am okay -- apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName [23:32] eclipse75: please don't [23:32] Hey everybody, I am running VMWare Workstation on Kubuntu Jaunty and Karmic and I am experiencing a really trippy problem going back and forth between Kubuntu and the XP SP2 guest OS. The Alt key loses its normal function, so Alt-Tab does not work right. Also, sometimes Alt-F2 (Run Dialog) and Alt-F1 (K Menu) appear as Ctrl-Alt-F2,F1 and bump me to another console. WTF? [23:32] Blue1: thats fine [23:32] how do i get an package to ask config questions again?? [23:32] what ikonia? [23:32] Menthol: if you "cd /media" and then type "ls" you should see something that represents your disk [23:33] is there a driver for reading ext4 in windows yet ? [23:33] eclipse75: the silly greatings [23:33] DasEi, got it, now just need to open it. [23:33] nvme: no [23:33] get over it [23:33] dewd: sudo dpkg-reconfigure maybe? [23:33] eclipse75: no - please don't do it [23:33] how do i add or remove a user, using terminal, in linux? [23:33] :) [23:33] dewd: what you want to know about it ? [23:33] are you an admin? [23:33] ikonia, is it likely for one to be developed ? [23:33] JuJuBee, I've tried that [23:33] "adduser buttons" will add myself, but how to remove? [23:33] nvme: ask microsoft or developers, I have no idea [23:33] eclipse75: You'll be reminded of that fact just about every time you try to have fun here, yes :> [23:33] eclipse75: that has nothing to do with it, please stop with the silly greetings [23:34] thebloggu... Does it work in the regular terminal? And does the header of the file say "#!/bin/bash" ? [23:34] and even so, i will just go some where else where people aint so up [23:34] dewd: sry then I do not know [23:34] Blue1: any luck? [23:34] ikonia, two cdroms and two drives with BOX label, but the problem is that i have only one cdrom and the name of my flash drive is not there [23:34] Dasda, I want it to ask the questions again from first install admin dn, ldap host etc etc === erwin is now known as Guest75889 [23:34] eclipse75: ok, there are other channels, [23:34] n8tuser: VERY sure! I'm working on my laptop now (VISTA) because it's impossible to do anything on the ubuntu, also I loaded the several pages on vista comparing to ubuntu, vista can load, ubuntu takes forever [23:34] hmm [23:34] Menthol: that's annoying [23:34] JuJuBee: I don't know how to access the files in my directory -- let me try something [23:34] insm0d, yes, yes [23:34] ikonia: I wasn't aware there was a channel policy against "silly greetings?" What constitutes a silly greeting? [23:34] ? [23:34] I tried purge and removed all configfiles but somehow these do not get reinstalled as well :-( [23:34] kilo: right click it, extract to desktop [23:34] prower: unessasarry noise is the policy === INT21 is now known as `^aol^` [23:35] hi ni am wanting to turn an old computer into a greaf firewall with a linux forewall distro. any clue of what distro i need [23:35] Lutra -> but what bug do you say you have? are you sure its a bug? or just a config you didnt know about? [23:35] now thinking about it though, why leave the biggest ubuntu source because one person doesnt like it. too bad for you :) [23:35] insm0d, sorry, it says #!/bin/sh === adam is now known as Guest19439 [23:35] Blue1: http://localhost/~username will access usernaem's public_html folder [23:35] ya, installing and running the scripts now [23:35] ikonia, also when i try to access the other drives wih BOX label , it says no such file or directory [23:35] prower: i thought filling up a busy channel of 1600 with any sort of offtopic bs was a nono in general? [23:35] so anyways [23:35] why i came here [23:35] DasEi, srry talked to wrong person [23:35] i'm stumped thebloggu [23:35] DasEi, , I want it to ask the questions again from first install admin dn, ldap host etc etc === RussellAlan is now known as Ginerring [23:35] JuJuBee: woo hoo! [23:35] Blue1: make sure www-data as the group has r-x perms on the public_html folder [23:35] DasEi, I tried purge and removed all configfiles but somehow these do not get reinstalled as well :-( [23:35] super key is bringing up the Application menu. How do I change this behaviour? [23:36] Blue1: :D [23:36] is there a way to list all user accounts that exist on a system? [23:36] Menthol: sorry about that - can you pastebin the output of "mount" for me please [23:36] ok guys, i need some wireless help with my atheros card. lspci shows the card, and that it is an atheros. i have enabled backports jaunty as i have read, but it wont start up. can someone help me? [23:36] buttons840 -> cat /etc/passwd [23:36] buttons840, less /etc/passwd [23:36] mhall: I suppose if you consider saying "hello" to be "offtopic BS" then you're right, at least one banhammer-wielder seems to agree with you :P [23:36] n8tuser: something new, it's just finished installing hardy, and when it restarted, I saw a message that showes error with network bus [23:36] ikonia, output mount? [23:36] n8tuser: Select "2.0 TB FREE SPACE" and hit ENTER. [23:36] How to use this free space: "Create a new partition" [23:36] New partition size: "1.9 TB" [23:36] Location for the new partition: "End" [23:36] Use as: hit ENTER to view list of options [23:36] DanielcAtPhp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:36] (options include things like "Ext4", "JFS", "swap area", physical volume for encryption", "physical volume for LVM", etc) [23:36] n8tuser, so just look at the passwd file, what is all the formatting? guess i'll man passwd [23:36] Blue1: you can cusomize things a bit more in /etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.conf [23:36] I need help changing my screen resolution, max is 800x600 [23:36] Menthol: if you type "mount" in a terminal you should get output, can you pastebin the output for me [23:37] prower: it's kind of like making a rule, don't make a ham sandwich and smash it into your friend's carpet [23:37] !pastebin > Menthol [23:37] insm0d, ok, thank you anyway :) [23:37] prower: sort of obvious [23:37] Menthol, please see my private message [23:37] n8tuser: it cant be a config, it happend B4 I installed [23:37] Can someone help me with nfs-kernel-server? [23:37] DasEi, ok script ran, now rebooting [23:37] I can't get it to start [23:37] mhall: Yes, perfectly obvious...don't smash a sandwich into somebody's carpet, don't say hello when you enter an IRC channel? :P [23:37] kilo : ? [23:37] Lutra -> which dns server is it using? [23:37] thebloggu: well I made a simple script and it worked.. i didnt see any out put but it did run.. i redirected output using >> report.txt. it I did try to rm a file and it was never removed.. what is your script trying to do? I never really use the run command cause I always have a xterm open. [23:37] DasEi, the wiki about ldap auth talks about configfiles that I think are obsolete in karmic.. [23:37] Lutra how many nics does it have? [23:37] mhall: Your definition of obvious is suspect [23:37] prower: not on a big channel [23:37] JuJuBee: thanks....I'd spent several weeks trying to figure that out... [23:38] atheros wireless card configuration help please [23:38] Blue1: glad to help. [23:38] prower: particularly if it's an inane movie reference [23:38] prower: :) [23:38] JuJuBee: I'll add that to pkill-9.com [23:38] dewd: might be, many things changed from older wikis, suffer that, too [23:38] mhall: Ah yes, the oft-forgotten "don't mention an old movie around an op" policy :P [23:38] knucklehead: have you tried to use wicd ? [23:38] DasEi, I ran the driver script for the network card [23:38] hi ni am wanting to turn an old computer into a greaf firewall with a linux forewall distro. any clue of what distro i need [23:38] ikonia, where can i pastebin that? [23:39] kilo: you unpacked, cd'ed in an ran it ? [23:39] meowpup -> many.. try openwrt also if you can [23:39] meowpup, it would reqire some configuration, but I'd recommend Damn Small Linux [23:39] ikonia, sorry for all the questions, i`m a big noob [23:39] hello im having trouble installing Kubuntu from CD ... is ther anything i can do to install from a command or form the web? thank you [23:39] meowpup: dunno what is like now but I ipcop used to be pretty good [23:39] DasEi, ya, it came with a nice set of instructions... I think I did ok. [23:39] need help w wireless card pleeze [23:39] DasEi, but you know how to trigger an package to reconfigure itself ? [23:40] prower: but in response to your comment about my definition being suspect, lol, everything about me is suspect, i suspect [23:40] Menthol: 1 moment please [23:40] JuJuBee: i will now sorry didnt see your input [23:40] !install | ubuntu [23:40] ubuntu: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [23:40] dasei although still nothing when I run iwconfig [23:40] n8tuser: not sure if that made it through or not. floodboot may have muted it. [23:40] dewd: I haven't followed your whole story, dpkg is the right tootl for that [23:40] JuJuBee: what will wicd do? [23:40] ikonia, i think that i managed to paste that here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/311022/ [23:40] DanielcAtPhp -> right. dont paste on this channel.. use the pastebin [23:40] knucklehead: I have atheros also and couldnt get network manager to get working, wicd worked immediately [23:40] mhall: Well you're in good company, some of the decisions of higher-ups here are suspect as well :> But let's not talk about that before someone gets upset and takes their banhammer out for a spin again [23:40] Is it possible to switch to regular desktop mode in netbook remix? [23:40] knucklehead: wicd replaces network manager [23:40] n8tuser: what is 'it'? for what proccess i need to check nice?\ [23:40] ikonia, is that ok? [23:40] hello! I use Gnome+Openbox and since the karmic upgrade it only shows 2 workspaces, although 8 are defined. ...which files/settings are responsible? [23:41] Lutra how many nics does it have? ifconfig should tell yah [23:41] kilo : make sure you followed these steps : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ToshibaSatelliteA215S7422Guide [23:41] DasEi, I want an package to ask me again the initial configuration questions [23:41] ubuntu: you could do a wubi install and let it download the iso [23:41] is it a native install in ubuntu? [23:41] dewd : which package ? [23:41] JuJuBee: is it default installed in the latest ubuntu? [23:41] Menthol: one moment please === yofel_ is now known as yofel [23:41] n8tuser: live and learn. it wasn't a large amount of text. whatever. :) [23:41] im running off cd right now [23:42] DasEi, i think auth-client-config [23:42] Menthol: your usb stick looks like it's "/media/BOX" can you check that please [23:42] D7: There's apparently an option for it in the Preferences menu, though I haven't used it so I'm not sure. [23:42] ubuntu: do you have windows on your pc? [23:42] knucklehead: no, sudo apt-get install wicd [23:42] super key is bringing up the Application menu. How do I change this behaviour? [23:42] JuJuBee: thanks i will try it [23:42] JuJuBee: will brb [23:42] I did but I Think its gone now [23:42] I selected the option to erase the disk [23:43] DasEi, cool, gimme a min to perform... [23:43] hey guys is there anything better for scanning tons of images than xsane? It wont even automatically rename files, and yet it supports a document feeder *facepalm* [23:43] n8tuser: I can't see it in ifconfig, where should it be? [23:43] !superkey [23:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about superkey [23:43] ubuntu: what type of trouble are you having? [23:43] ikonia, yes that is right, perfect what now [23:43] damn [23:43] Lutra -> you understood what i asked? how many nic cards does your server have? [23:43] !shortcuts [23:43] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [23:43] !magicbutton [23:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about magicbutton [23:43] heh [23:44] dewd : second, trying [23:44] n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/311023/ [23:44] hahaha [23:44] wrgb: I go to install and about 30% i get an input/output error [23:44] DasEi, i found it [23:44] innomen, I know all about that one [23:44] Menthol: if you do "sudo cp $filename /var/www" the file will move [23:44] j/k [23:44] DasEi, wrong package its ldap-auth-config [23:44] DanielcAtPhp -> that tells you your options.. what did you do and what happened next? [23:45] ubuntu: When you first boot from CD, there's an option to verify the disc. It would be prudent to try that, since one of the causes of an I/O error would be a bad disc. [23:45] dewd: no such package [23:45] hi [23:45] rww: so there is no way to install form the web [23:45] Menthol: correction that will not MOVE the file. that will copy the file to /var/www if you want to move a file you should use 'mv' [23:45] help with key bindings? [23:45] DasEi, dpkg-reconfigure ldap-auth-config works though [23:45] ikonia, i want to copy not to move [23:45] ubuntu -> look into unetbootin [23:45] JJman, oh ok thank you [23:45] dewd: heh, you're fast !! [23:46] ikonia, thank you so much!!! [23:46] n8tuser: oh, I have 2 there, eth0 and lo [23:46] DasEi, if only it would actually connect to my ldap server [23:46] ubuntu: Ubottu linked you to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation earlier, which has a pretty complete list of alternative install options. [23:46] empathy won't connect to certain IRC channels [23:46] Any advise to make something like an opengeu system under 9.10? [23:46] Anyone know why? [23:46] DasEi, that was no problem in jaunty karmic doesn't work :-( [23:46] n8tuser: it doesn't provide the option for an extended partition, so I figured filling in all of the information for all of the partitions i want to create would come to naught, so I haven't proceeded. [23:46] i have errors installing package and apt-get install -f aren't fixing it. what else can i try to get this unstuck [23:46] fxhp: can you give an example of a channel that doesn't work? === adam is now known as Guest35132 [23:46] Lutra -> i kind of forgot..what was the issue again? just slow connection? are you using a valid dns server adn your /etc/hosts file looks like what? [23:46] hey JuJuBee this is me again with the wireless issue [23:47] dewd: yep, the upstart-changes [23:47] DasEi, no luck :( [23:47] DasEi, doesn't even try to connect [23:47] Guest35132: knucklehead? [23:47] JuJuBee: yep [23:47] K [23:47] rww: I can connect to this channel, I cannot connect to any channels on dalnet... I'm connected but the window for the room doesn't show up [23:47] DanielcAtPhp -> yeah 1st create the partition you like, am not sure of your requirements .. as server? lvm? raid? [23:47] JuJuBee: in wicd i only have the option for wired [23:47] JuJuBee: not wireless [23:48] ikonia, i want to know please if there is another way to do all of this, if i want to have access to my files in var/www directly as a friendly interface like windows [23:48] fxhp: try running empathy from your xterm and watch output if theres no other logs to check.... [23:48] n8tuser: here's the partitions i want to set up: http://paste.ubuntu.com/311026/ [23:48] n8tuser: problem is slow connection, and it's a fresh install, it started talking to you b4 the installation was complete [23:48] rmm ok [23:48] Menthol: if you do "gksudo nautilus" you can use that gui [23:48] fxhp: Have you tryed waiting for the join room prompt? [23:48] n8tuser: have you used the server installer and the manual partition creation menu system on it? [23:48] Dbot_ I don't understand [23:48] Guest35132: what kind of adapter is it? [23:49] atheros 9285 [23:49] fxhp: Are you using Empathy? [23:49] JuJuBee: atheros 9285 [23:49] Currently, yes [23:49] DanielcAtPhp -> not on 9.10 am still on the older versions, i have installed servers.. [23:49] ikonia, much better thank you!!! [23:49] Guest35132: pci or usb? [23:49] kilo: did you reload or reboot ? [23:49] pcie [23:49] DanielcAtPhp -> what you pasted seems reasonable.. where it the hang up? [23:49] fxhp: The room list doesn't work on DALnet (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/telepathy-idle/+bug/426795 ). Is that possibly the problem? [23:49] Guest35132: lspci | grep ath [23:50] fxhp: Sorry then. I personally don't want to know about Empathy, but I use X-chat on Dalnet with no issues. [23:50] kilo : sudo ifconfig wlan0 up << what does that give to you ? [23:50] JuJuBee: no output [23:50] Lutra -> ipv6 is normally activated on fresh install. so it may be using that to resolve also, therefore it is taking a long time [23:50] fxhp: if so, I'd recommend an alternate client for the time being, and agree with Dbot_ that xchat would be a good choice. [23:50] Guest35132: lspci [23:50] n8tuser: using the user interface to create an extended partition hda2. [23:50] rww: no, I'm not trying to... I'm just trying to join, people in the channel claim that I am Idling still... [23:50] JuJuBee: 04:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) [23:50] DanielcAtPhp -> okay... so go on.. i dont see any issues so far [23:50] xchat has no favorites, which is lame [23:50] hola [23:50] fxhp: Supports X-chat all the way for IRC. [23:51] I can't get Ubuntu 9.10 to list the correct resolution for my external monitor in the "Display Preference" Resolution list. Any suggestions?

Try ##hardware, perhaps.

It happened to someone with Windows. POST happens before Ubuntu boots. Therefore, it is not Ubuntu-related. Therefore, it does not belong here.
