[00:00] laura_: what physical connection are you using to connect to the tv? [00:00] WACOMalt, mmm which chipset is this it should say in alsmixer [00:00] Koltor_: Hmm that works for me, I'm using the ppa nightly build of chrome [00:00] alsamixer [00:00] chrisr: Ahh. It's an applet. [00:00] s-vhs === m4v_ is now known as m4v [00:00] all the items on my desktop kind of...vanished.... is there a terminal command to update the desktop, or something similar? [00:00] Realtek ALC268 [00:00] does the nightly build have working bookmark sync? [00:00] alc_: Realtek ALC268 [00:00] penguin42: drag a window to the left of the screen to fille the right half of the screen, and drag another to the right to fill the right side. Its nice. [00:00] leaf-sheep: ahh [00:00] WACOMalt, ok let me check a few things also the #alsa channel should be of help as well [00:01] hey how do i permanently disable a package from being updated in synatpic? [00:01] oh no [00:01] coz_: I didn't know of that channel, will ask there too. thanks again! [00:01] one girl is beginningto sleep right now :-/ [00:01] leaf-sheep: i cant see it in my applet panel [00:01] !pinning | fokuslee [00:01] fokuslee: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [00:01] laura_: that may explain it... most systems boot at a low enough resolution to mirror the video over to a tv out. When x gets going it's typically at a higher resolution which won't work on the tv. the tv out can generally still be enabled, but something in the driver has to tell the chipset how to handle the reduced resolution on the TV out side of it, and I'm guessing that is what is not happening for you. [00:01] Ok, can anyone tell me about wvdial? [00:01] chrisr: Don't type glipper. Try clipboard. [00:01] chrisr: Hmm not sure, there are a whole bunch of things in the compiz (desktop effects) system - if you install thecompizconfig-settings-manager package you can fiddle with hundreds of them [00:01] fokuslee: highlight the in the list, go to Package on the top menu and choose lock version [00:01] WACOMalt, I do see a bug report about that particular chipset let me see if it was solved [00:02] coz: uhoh [00:02] how can I change the clock on my server (via terminal)? I don't have access to sudo... [00:02] ok Snausages, thank you. how do i go on now? [00:02] goose, perhaps via the bios [00:02] fokuslee: I believe sypathic(sp?) have that feature. It might be easier. [00:02] leaf-sheep: how did you figure that out? [00:02] goose: get access to sudo [00:02] goose: You can't - changing the clock needs privs [00:02] does anybody know where I can see the new Tint2 ( panel ) syntax ? My old configuration file is full of errors ( worked perfectly on 9.04 ) ? [00:02] Let me ask can i know the name of Version its name Cynos? or Synos? [00:02] WACOMalt, ok nothign solved on that report yet hold on [00:02] (the tv is is a full-hd pioneer lcd, btw, so it should handle higher resolutions!) [00:03] chrisr: "aptitude show glipper" [00:03] leaf-sheep: nothing for clipboard [00:03] Or gnome-ppp? [00:03] leaf-sheep, thx mate [00:03] How can you reactivate the little thing in the upper-right corner with Evolution/Empathy/Pidgin ? [00:03] is there a way I can change my local clock or something? it's mainly for irssi, my system thinks it's 5 time zones ahead of me :/ (ironic, cause it's actually one behind me) [00:03] Cab u know the version like Cynos? [00:03] SynoS? [00:03] ah I think you can change timezone [00:03] i cant remmember the name its like ubuntu? [00:03] any update about ubuntu 9.10? [00:04] chrisr: Are you certain? Perhaps "killall gnome-panel" will restart the panel and you can find it in the panel applets. [00:04] !notes | Newbie33 [00:04] Newbie33: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [00:04] laura_: yes, the computer can make a hi-res signal, and yes your TV can certainly display a hi-res signal... but that s-video connection in between is going to top out around 720x486... quite low by comparison to either. As far as what to do next, you may need to find a more complete or more advanced graphics driver for your chipset. I don't know if such a thing exists or even where to look. [00:04] WACOMalt, pastebin the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf let me take alook at it [00:04] leaf-sheep: yeah that sorted it [00:04] WACOMalt, pastebin.com will do nicely [00:05] laura_: you may do better in the end simply by connecting to the TV by way of VGA, DVI or HDMI [00:05] any help i want to make my own vanity ip [00:05] WACOMalt, also In 'Sound Preferences' -> 'Hardware' set Profile -> Analog Stereo Duplex [00:05] any one tell me names for OS like Ubuntu ? [00:05] laura_: have you tried lowering the resolution right down and then trying to switch? no experience so no idea if that will work but it's possible [00:05] i just changed the resolution to 640*480 to check, but there is still no way to switch [00:05]  I¯m   ¯U¯sing  H4cKeRzE [00:05] ah [00:05] <_ULNX64_> kiwi,mint os too [00:05] ThePasswd: What do you mean? === moomlyn is now known as linimoo [00:05] WACOMalt, is this a laptop?

[00:06] ThePasswd: http://distrowatch.com/ [00:06] there is just about nothing there. [00:06] WACOMalt, ok is this a laptop? [00:06] i mean i need names of some operative sistems like ubuntu [00:06] theres no option or whatever in the system options [00:06] laura_: that's where the driver I mentioned comes in [00:06] WACOMalt, let me see the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [00:06] so i need another driver for my gpu [00:06] coz_: yes it's an HP TX2500z CTO laptop [00:07] laura_: have you looked at this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=361124&highlight=dual+monitor [00:07] coz_: http://pastebin.com/m43e97a98 that is my alsa config file [00:07] <_ULNX64_> kiwi amd mint ubuntu based with codecs, if need codecs try midibuntu repo 4 ubuntu [00:07] uhm, what happened to dontzap? [00:07] do u think window 7 will compete with ubuntu? [00:07] laura_: you may need to find and install an alternate driver for your graphics system. I don't know if there is one. Another possibility- some laptops have a hotkey on them which will cause the graphics chipset to seek out external displays or force them to switch. Dunno if this applies to you. [00:07] I think Windows 7 is Vista with a bandaid. === rsj is now known as pchew [00:07] Newbie33: compete at what?

After extensive searching online, I've found (on the EVMS site) that "multiple owners of a block device" is prevented on recent kernels. One of my LVM physical volumes is a partition on the same disk that holds /. Could this be what's causing my trouble? [00:09] leaf-sheep, im using 9.10 with grub1 can i remove grub-common, it says its for ver2 and how do i hold not to ask to install again?

[00:10] What are the other ways to install 9.10 of installing of the CD dowsnt work [00:10] fokuslee: Synpathic does not have that feature to "ignore" packages? Also, you could install packages without recommendations. [00:10] leaf-sheep, so the common files are shared betweeen both versions and i can safely upgrade that? [00:11] Whats the best file to set an environment variable so that every session will have access to it? .profile? [00:11] dajhorn: Thanks. Wasn't using it. Just trying to figure out what's going on with my LVM setup. [00:11] fokuslee: I'm not sure. I heard there were too many issues regarding with upgrading 9.04 --> 9.10. Do a clean install if you can.

[00:39] infidel2s: np [00:39] IdleOne, another server [00:39] ssh: connect to host machine.home port 22: Operation timed out [00:39] JorgeBorg, it should be pretty straight forward to setup [00:39] Wasaki: IIRC the command is /newserver irc.whatever.org [00:39] I updated from 9.04 to 9.10 and now have an unbootable computer that outputs: mountall: symbol lookup error: mountall: undefined symbol: udev_monitor_filter_add_match_subsystem_devtype whenever i try to boot. i've seen a couple other people with this problem on the forums, is there any fix? [00:39] JorgeBorg, i also use ultra vnc connecting to an ubuntu fileserver [00:40] Rods_Tiger: you have sshd running on the seriver? [00:40] xander787: yeah clean installing [00:40] it's been running for months [00:40] hi ubuntans is there an alternative to MSN messenger or do i need wine to run it [00:40] is it possible to do a per contact log of a pidgin user? [00:40] anyone know what would cause an error "cannot execute binary file" when it's the latest version from the repo, and works fine on a fresh install? [00:40] Rods_Tiger: do you have any other way to connect [00:40] xander787: should work good then [00:40] no [00:40] Rods_Tiger: or other way to access the server [00:40] dajhorn: No, I wouldn't care if it was just an error message. It appears to work (except for the error messages), but the logical volume ends up being 0 bytes. http://pastebin.com/m72d5d6cd === moomlyn is now known as linimoo [00:40] xander787, backup and clean install...i'm always wary of upgrading distros or different os's :) [00:40] fokuslee: of course, AMSN, Kmess, Emescene and so on [00:41] I've connected a keyboard and mouse to it [00:41] !info emescene [00:41] Package emescene does not exist in karmic [00:41] spellbound: Whoah, full backup time. [00:41] Rods_Tiger: it has a screen too? [00:41] digitalstimulus, I'm gonna give x11vnc a try, because the vnc4server log has no useful info and ultravnc gives a cryptambiguous error [00:41] hmm think I spelt wrong or the name is wrong uhmm [00:41] yes [00:41] fokuslee: pidgin, finch, bitlbee, kopete [00:41] thanks [00:41] IdleOne, didnt work :/ [00:41] JorgeBorg, you are trying to connect TO the ubuntu machine right? [00:41] sebsebseb, DigitalKiwi, i just need a lightweight one which one do you recommend? [00:41] spellbound: How many system upgrades has this computer gone through? Is there any chance that it needs an LVM metadata update? [00:41] JorgeBorg, is it running Gnome? [00:41] Rods_Tiger: can you ssh to the server from the server [00:41] ah, i was afraid i'd have to do that. well i've been told it already a couple times i guess i'll actually have to do it... [00:41] good point [00:41] Wasaki: File menu > New Server or something like that. [00:42] how do i solve that in evolution? http://yfrog.com/2m39081162p [00:42] digitalstimulus, yes, to ubuntu running gnome [00:42] dajhorn: I guess so. I can get to the data by booting Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD. I'll just have to move ~1TB over the network to whereever I can find space. [00:42] what's a good twitter client? somehow gwibber doesn't work [00:42] JorgeBorg, what about the built in remote desktop sharing? [00:42] fokuslee: try a few and find out which one you like. There's also Mercury Messenger a java app, made by one guy and closed source, which you can get from outside the repo. [00:42] finch is curses, bitlbee runs as a daemon and you access it with an irc client, pidgin is lightweight gtk [00:42] IdleOne, that worked. ty :) [00:42] JorgeBorg, it's already setup and ready to go, just enable it [00:42] Wasaki: no ptoblem [00:42] problem* [00:42] yes I can [00:42] it works properly, but 've read vnc is faster and more secure [00:42] can you confim this? [00:43] what is the ubuntu version of 'depmod -ae' mentioned in step 3 here http://mythtvblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/getting-imon-0038-lcd-working-with-lirc.html [00:43] Rods_Tiger: you are on the same network? [00:43] dajhorn: The LVM setup was created in 8.04. After that, I used it with 9.04 until it wouldn't work with 9.10. [00:43] yes [00:43] Rods_Tiger: can you ping the server? [00:43] I don't know [00:43] sebsebseb, DigitalKiwi, Thanks guys, this forum is always soo friendly [00:43] yes what krackpot said [00:43] Rods_Tiger: try that [00:43] JorgeBorg, well, as far as speed, the client connecting usually picks the quality and speed settings [00:43] fokuslee: Not sure about the latest Live Messenger, but a slightly older one you could get working in Wine. Ideally use other networks by the way for example Jabber === SirTopHat_ is now known as SirTopHat [00:43] Request timeout for icmp_seq 0 (etc [00:44] Uhhhm, my desktop isn't showing. When I right click I don't even get a context menu. However, gnome-panel and everything else is working. I just don't get a shadow below my gnome-panels and my desktop icons are all gone. [00:44] hello! [00:44] Rods_Tiger: can the server ping your client? [00:44] hmm [00:44] folks, how do I set the brightness of my screen with ubuntu? [00:44] I'd expect it to be under system - display but I can't find it [00:44] I'm not sure how this machine is referred to [00:44] dajhorn: So I guess that means there's a chance that it needs a metadata update? Can that be done without recreating everything? === Raistlin1 is now known as Raistl|n [00:44] fokuslee: some call this a forum, I call this a IRC channel [00:44] is there any open source IM protocol that can be used over SSL? [00:45] hedkandi, are you on a laptop? [00:45] c3l: Jabber? [00:45] yes [00:45] digitalstimulus, then perhaps my transfer rate is bottling or something. I'm going to do some investigating. thanks! [00:45] hi all, help with a trouble with my account in wiki.ubuntu.com [00:45] How can i change my uid? [00:45] spellbound: Yes, I'm poking around the man pages, but I can't remember how to check the version or do the upgrade. I dunno whether Hardy is old enough that this could be the glitch. [00:45] it can be here? === Wasaki is now known as KnoxX [00:45] chrisr: why? [00:45] JorgeBorg, no problem. the server is pretty simple setup wise, it's the client that dictates the speed. so you can connect to the same server from a lan or dial up modem or wherever and pick your settings to suit [00:46] hedkandi: i know of commands to set the brightness, but i think its in the power settings as well [00:46] hedkandi, does your laptop have a key/combo on the keyboard to do it? [00:46] is there a way to do this safe, so everything works properly? [00:46] no, it doesn't look like I can ping this machine from the ubuntu machine either (using the ip address) [00:46] My system is missing the strftime man page, how do I get the man page installed? [00:46] digitalstimulus, yes it does, and they operate ok [00:46] dajhorn: It's probably not worth perusing this one further. I'll just move the data away from there and recreate. [00:46] Rods_Tiger: ok, you are sure they are in the same subnet? [00:47] yes [00:47] Ashfire908, did you try 'man 3'? [00:47] dajhorn: I *really* appreciate your help! [00:47] hedkandi, that's what i've always used :) [00:47] Ashfire908: install manpages-posix-dev [00:47] digitalstimulus: but I'd expect there to be a dialog for it under sys - pref [00:47] there's no more subnets than this one [00:47] jrib: I have upgraded my machine and i need to use my files from my last install. The uid/gid is set for my network at work. [00:47] Rods_Tiger: they get ips from dhcp? [00:47] never mind... tweeting wrong thing puts you in court [00:47] Billiard, so what commands do the job then? [00:47] yes [00:47] Rods_Tiger: do they both have internet access [00:47] spellbound: Okay, np. The magic command could be vgconvert, but you could hose the data. [00:47] yes [00:47] chrisr: use usermod [00:47] hedkandi, i don't believe i've seen a 'brightness' control in gnome. if you have an nvidia or ati chip, i believe their respective control panels can set that [00:48] I don't actually. [00:48] durt, already did that. [00:48] jrib: I've read how using usermod stopped someones machine from booting until he changed back the uid to 1000 [00:48] Billiard is right, you can set the screen brightness under AC power in power management [00:48] but you can't do the same on battery power [00:48] chrisr: I hope you see that makes no sense... [00:48] which is a bizarre inconsistency [00:48] hedkandi, hmm, there should be settings for AC and battery [00:48] the screen broghtness is in "power manage ment [00:49] i'm looking at it right now [00:49] jrib: stopped his X from booting.. [00:49] digitalstimulus, could you clarify what you mean by that? === sea is now known as Guest59214 [00:49] hedkandi, i mean...there should be similar settings for AC power and battery power [00:49] chrisr: just make sure the user's home has the correct uid afterwards (usermod should do this automatically) === Guest59214 is now known as seasky [00:50] right. screw it. fresh install of 9.10. [00:50] hedkandi, i don't have ubuntu on a laptop to verify [00:50] are you saying that someone needs to alter gnome? [00:50] hey i need someone to recommend a media player [00:50] or are you saying I can't find the right box? [00:50] I'm still running 9.10 beta === moomlyn is now known as linimoo [00:50] hedkandi, from what i remember, there is a tab for AC power and a tab for battery power [00:50] !player | seasky [00:50] seasky: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [00:50] Rods_Tiger: are there other devices on the network? [00:50] i wanted xmms but it isnt available can someone recommend a nice media player? [00:50] indeed [00:50] seasky, for what? [00:51] !xmms | seasky [00:51] seasky: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [00:51] quite a few - printers, ipod touch, etc [00:51] i use vlc media player [00:51] best out there [00:51] Rods_Tiger: can any device ping any other device? [00:51] seasky, songbird [00:51] Another point is this: under screensaver it says "regard the system as idle after ..." and you set it to 5 mins [00:51] sebsebseb, haha my bad of course its a channel [00:51] I don't think so [00:51] And under power management it says "dim display when idle" [00:51] digitalstimulus: i installed backtrack4 it doesnt have a media player, and xmms isnt available? [00:51] and the screen dims after 20 secs [00:51] Everyone Knows That VLC media player is the best [00:51] can you recover a file deleted through an SCP SSH connection? [00:51] so they aren't using the same definition of idle [00:51] I've never seen ping do anything other than timeout, so I'm not sure about ping [00:51] seasky, i'm not familiar with backtrack [00:51] digitalstimulus thank you i will try songbird [00:52] Rods_Tiger: maybe you have a router blocking access to other clients or something [00:52] well it used to work [00:52] hedkandi, let me see if i can find it on my fileserver [00:52] this all happened when karmic got released, or a day or so before that [00:52] Rods_Tiger: well if nothing can ping anything else, idk how you are going to ssh [00:52] digitalstim: what? [00:52] I've no idea - I've never used ping, but ssh has worked [00:52] seasky, it's a music player, with loads of plugins, developed by mozilla [00:53] digitalstimulus: ....sudao apt-getting now =) [00:53] I've never ever experienced ping working. ssh has always worked fine but now it doesn't [00:53] hedkandi: to set the screen brightness time, you can use gconf-editor [00:53] hedkandi, ok under power management, do you have a tab that says "ON AC Power" and "On Battery Power" [00:53] VLC has loads of plugins and will run almost any video... actually it's ran all video and audio files i've run in it [00:53] y [00:54] yes, VLC for video playback and dvd [00:54] billiard: what key do I need to edit? [00:54] something has changed in ubuntu to make ssh stop working [00:54] I use VLC for audio as well... [00:54] Actually using it now lol [00:54] Rods_Tiger, errors? === goose is now known as Chris___ [00:54] hedkandi: sorry not at a ubuntu machine at the moment, but it is under power management or something, it is with all the other power settings but not on the gui power management settings window [00:54] Rods_Tiger, have you tried deleting the key or whatever that ssh generates? [00:54] Ok. How do I soft hotplug a usb device? [00:55] greetings to everyone ^^ [00:55] I have [00:55] Billiard: am I right in thinking gconf is the ubuntu version of the registry? [00:55] I did something stupid. I gotta rely less on google :( | how do I reverse the command: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/gmake [00:55] caseyweederman, stick it in the machine? [00:55] hedkandi: Pretty much [00:55] I notice wxWidgets doesn't use it! [00:55] hedkandi: not really no, it only is a gui for changing the settings in the .gnome directory [00:55] i have a problem [00:55] hoho [00:55] hello. i have a question [00:56] manevra, just ask [00:56] Billiard: other things can and do use gconf to maintain persistent data [00:56] digitalstimulus: It's something that has to happen a hundred times for each working instance. I don't want to do it physically because it will break. [00:56] Jabadahut: what does this return: dpkg -S /usr/bin/gmake [00:56] Is there a way to get a progress bar for the syncing progress of Ubuntu One? [00:56] Jabadahut: Did you accidentally delete or overwrite /usr/bin/make? -- sudo apt-get install --reinstall make [00:56] how can i get filetopia workin fine with wine? [00:56] Billiard, it's not gnome-specific [00:56] caseyweederman, umount/mount? [00:56] durt: what is the difference between i386 and amd64 i tried to find out from forums but i didn't get to any conclusion. what is the difference between the versions ? [00:56] I just want my computer to forget there was a device, and then find it afresh. [00:56] there is a section for "applications" which takes just about anything [00:56] manevra: i386 is 32bit, amd64 is 64bit [00:56] hedkandi: they just put their settings in .gnome i believe, because they are ment for use with gnome [00:57] hedkandi, gconf has gnome settings. but it's different from the registry in windows. the registry in windows not only has windows settings but applications and hardware and everything else [00:57] indeed ok then [00:57] manevra, basically i386 is 32bit and amd64 is 64bit [00:57] is there anyway to set a framebuffer's resolution to widescreen? I have a 1280x720 monitor and I would like the consoles to be 1280x720 [00:57] digitalstimulus: It's not the mounting kind. It's a usb gsm modem. [00:57] jrib: dpkg: /usr/bin/gmake not found. (weird, I don't know why) [00:57] is there a way to set a default audio device in 9.10 [00:57] how can i get filetopia workin fine with wine? D= [00:57] mikeru: Try fbset [00:57] penguin42 , i saw that but how do i know which version i should choose? does this matter ? [00:57] not sure if this is off topic, but can anyone suggest a usb modem for a laptop to use with Ubuntu? [00:57] manevra: If you don't know and you have 3GB or less of RAM then stick to i386 [00:57] krevitz: check out the wine appdb? [00:57] anybody? [00:58] well anyway, do you know is the source code for gnome-power-man on subversion somewhere? [00:58] what its that D= [00:58] set the grub screen to 1280x720 and the framebuffer should follow. Use startup-manager [00:58] kanuha: NOT Novatel's Ovation. [00:58] manevra, if you are new to ubuntu stick with 32bit till you have a reason to try 64bit [00:58] manevra: If you have more RAM and a 64bit CPU then you might want to switch to amd64 [00:58] caseyweederman, rmmod/modprobe? [00:58] dajhorn: I just now put that into my terminal - everything seems to be working fine [00:58] what repos do the gnome apps belong to ? [00:58] caseyweederman, not sure i understand what you're trying to do [00:58] billiard, what ist that? [00:58] hedkandi: you can get the source using apt-get source, why? [00:58] anyone using the video driver "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 185)" and getting random computer freezing? [00:58] krevitz: google [00:58] I want to modify it and check it in. [00:58] k [00:58] caseyweederman, thx, I'll steer clear of those then [00:58] Jabadahut: Ubuntu doesn't have `gmake`. Systems that aren't based on the GNU toolchain usually install GNU make as gmake. [00:59] fix it rathere [00:59] You can't use usermod as the user you are changing ,but in ubuntu i can't be root! [00:59] penguin42, so amd64 is for stronger computers.. as i understand. is it any difference between i386 and amd64 ? is amd64 better or something, or it's the same operating system for different computer configs? [00:59] Jabadahut: hrmm, are you sure gmake existed? [00:59] SO what do I do? [00:59] Hi, I'm trying to change the default boot option in Grub 2, the config file says do not edit... any suggestions? [00:59] penguin42: easy way to use it' [00:59] chrisr: you use sudo to gain root power [00:59] penguin42: easy way to use it? [00:59] manevra, 64 vs 32 bit [00:59] I'm sure that it didn't exist, but after I did the sudo ls -s command, it performed exactly like make [00:59] Billard: that doesnt work for usermod [00:59] hey i'm new to this whole IRC support thing so i'm not really sure now to even go about asking for help [00:59] manevra: Mostly the same, but amd64 is only for machines with 64bit hardware, most things work the same in both, a few things can be a bit triciker in 64bit [01:00] what is the config file called again for grub? [01:00] chrisr: it does [01:00] menu.conf isn't it? [01:00] hedkandi: grub.cfg ?? [01:00] is there a way to set a default audio device in 9.10? (i have two sound cards, want to use the discrete soundcard) [01:00] Jabadahut: right, you can just delete it if you want, but it won't do any harm really [01:00] where is it? [01:00] Billard: ive just tried it and it complained that I was logged in [01:00] manevra, to use the 64bit build you need a 64bit processor [01:00] digitalstimulus: If the light goes purple, I have to replug it. If the light stays red, I can go on to the next step. I have no idea what causes this but I know it's nothing I'm doing. Can I just cut power to that port? [01:00] okay, thanks again jrib :) [01:00] irc in this channel at least consists of 1606 users asking questions and 5 answering them [01:00] Hi. I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10. Unfortunately, at the moment the Network Manager applet shows that I have no network connection, despite the fact that I most certainly do have a connection on eth0 that I'm using to type this. Can anyone suggest what the source of this discrepancy might be and how to fix it? [01:01] Billard: and all i was only running a terminal [01:01] chrisr: i have never had that happen, maybe pastebin your exact command and the exact output [01:01] asr88, you can edit that ok [01:01] i have multiboot Ubuntu/WinXP, on the XP i have gone in "Device settings for the WLAN hardware" and put the power-supply at max (much above "default") and as a result, my battery goes out faster, and i get much longer range in XP than Ubuntu (i can connect to WLANs in XP that i cant even see exist in Ubuntu - before i put the laptop closer to the access point) how can i do the same in ubuntu? [01:01] hedkandi: ok thanks, lol [01:01] caseyweederman, not that i know of. are you on usb 1.1? [01:01] i have this processor: Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2160 @1.80 GHz [01:01] is it 64 bit ? [01:01] unperson, did you previously use a manual config? [01:01] as long as you do it right! [01:01] Billard : " sudo usermod -u 9009 -g 320 chrisr ; usermod: user chrisr is currently logged in " [01:01] dows any one know how i can fix flash controls in firefox 3.5 i just upgraded to 9.1 [01:02] durt, No, I'm sure I configured it through the GUI (or installer) on some previous version of Ubuntu (Intrepid or earlier). [01:02] When I'm in ubuntu I can see wireless points that I can't see in Vista. I have no idea why this is. [01:02] manevra, more than likely yes. 64 bit is more like next generation. if you plan on upgrading to more than 4 GB or RAM ever, go 64 bit [01:02] manevra: According to Intel's site, yes [01:02] chrisr: o you are trying to change your userid [01:02] well i'm off to bed bye! [01:02] unperson, take a look at /etc/network/interfaces if there is a configured interface there nm won't touch it [01:02] durt, I assume that something changed about how things are handled on the back end, so that now the settings reside in a different place or something. [01:02] I'm on 64Bit 9.10 beta with only 2GB's ram [01:02] chrisr: reboot and choose recovery mode at the grub menu [01:02] manevra: Unless you have more than 3GB of RAM then I wouldn't bother [01:03] When I first installed Ubuntu 9.10, it asked if I wanted to encrypt my home directory. How can I encrypt other directories outside of my home directory? [01:03] digitalstimulus: I'm not sure. [01:03] durt, Yes, eth0 is setup there. [01:03] penguin42 unfortunately i have 1 GB of ram. this means i386 is the best option for me right ? [01:03] manevra: Either should work, I'd say stick with the 32bit [01:03] unperson, unfortunately I don't use nm so I wouldn't be aware of any changes. [01:03] jirb: ok ill try that now, if im not back in 3 minutes something has gone seriously wrong [01:03] anthony_, 64 bit addressing causes applications and code to use up more memory. nothing wrong with being on 64 bit with 512 mb or RAM [01:03] ok [01:03] thanks a lot [01:04] chrisr: why do you want to change your user id anyway? [01:04] anthony_, there is just a limitation on how big the numbers can be and it's around 4 GB [01:04] can any one help me fix flash control problems with 9.10? [01:04] manevra: 64-bit is for users with more than 1GB of ram and a 64bit processor, of course, i believe [01:04] unperson, my understanding is one or the other [01:04] durt, so in principle if I removed those lines from /etc/network/interfaces I could reconfigure my connection through nm and things ought to work right. [01:04] my rule of thumb is always go 64 bit unless your processor can't handle it [01:04] unperson, that is my understanding [01:04] durt, I see. I would have assumed one is basically a front end to the other before this issue cropped up. === august_ is now known as Guest19192 [01:05] digitalstimulus: I run 64bit, given things like flash can be more tricky I tend not to recommend it for people unless it's likely to give a benefit through lots of ram, sure they might still win out [01:05] caseyweederman, how old is the computer? [01:05] unperson, I believe nm uses other means to store it's info. [01:05] durt, But does that mean that the network won't start until Gnome does? [01:05] durt, right [01:05] digitalstimulus: It's a good ten years old. [01:05] So by running a 64Bit operating system my apps use more memory then if I was on 32 Bit? [01:05] unperson, with nm, yes [01:05] anthony_: Often [01:05] anthony_: somewhat yes [01:05] caseyweederman, more than likely it's a USB 1.1 then, it's a low power interface compared to USB 2.0 [01:06] some devices require "high speed usb 2.0" [01:06] caseyweederman, and can drop out if on usb 1.1 [01:06] can any one help me fix flash control problems with 9.10? [01:06] I had heard that 64Bit let apps run smoother and. I didn't think that it would need more ram to do it :\ [01:06] durt, I wonder what happens if you select recovery mode and choose to boot to a root prompt with network [01:06] durt, I guess it probably just tries DHCP [01:06] caseyweederman, you can purchase a PCI card that is USB 2.0 to supply the proper power if that is the problem [01:06] anthony_: With a 64bit app any pointer is now 64bit rather than 32, if the app uses a lot of pointers then it will have to use more space [01:07] anthony_: some things can be faster with 64bit such as encoding video === lanoxx is now known as sq|lanoxx [01:07] unperson, it would all depend what is in /e/n/i === usuario-master is now known as vo|d [01:07] has anyone else noticed that though ubuntu 9.10 is the late, great ver., it has a LOT of bugs that 9.04 didn't? Or is it just me? [01:07] anthony_: you wouldnt benefit from a 64bit PC with less than 1GB of ram. i've talked to a lot of gentoo users, and they all say the same thing about it [01:07] Ok, thanks. I'm not sure that's it, though. [01:08] nitro_, A new version is usually going to have bugs that the prior release didnt [01:08] how do I copy files in terminal [01:08] durt, I see. [01:08] caseyweederman, me neither, but i would check the requirements of your device. if it says USB 2.0, you probably don't have that [01:08] baltadt: cp === Chazz is now known as daBomb|Not-Here [01:08] nitro_, there are a few regressions, see the release notes for known issues [01:08] oscurochu, isn't the main benefit of 64bit the ability to page larger memory? [01:08] anyone else getting this "One or more of the mount listed in /etc/fstab could not yet be mounted" thing, and then it just boots in as normal? [01:08] So then I should be good with my 2gigs and 64Bit right? === daBomb|Not-Here is now known as Chazz [01:08] ok when I try that it says "cp: omitting directory `/home/jason/Desktop/cck'" [01:08] durt, I trust that with nm the network still comes up regardless of which user is logged in (i.e., the settings are not per-user). [01:08] p1und3r: pastebin your /etc/fstab [01:08] caseyweederman, the only other thing i can think of is poor support from the manufacturer [01:08] (and to deal with larger calculations) [01:08] baltadt: cp -r for recursive for directories [01:09] its not there [01:09] D= [01:09] syn-ack: do you think the ubuntu team is actively working to fix a lot of these? I know it's free and all so it's kinda unkosher to be asking people to do more free work, but I was just wondering if they're working on them. Do you know? [01:09] unperson, I believe you need to be sudo (root) to set the network in nm [01:09] digitalstimulus: It just says 'usb'. Hm. It's doing some different things here, on my laptop. [01:09] durt, Okay, that would make sense. [01:09] Billiard: is not in there [01:09] It seems that my 32Bit Vista uses way more memory then 64Bit Ubuntu. But then that's Windows for you :P [01:09] caseyweederman, does it have an external power source? [01:09] durt, Thanks for your help. [01:10] nitro_, I do know and there are sometimes reasons why bugs wernt fixed as the fix would cause a regression on the whole [01:10] caseyweederman, like batteries or wall plug [01:10] unperson, again my nm experience is limited [01:10] Blank_: you're asking the wrong person. My desktop has a 64bit processor but when I was trying gentoo, all of the gentoo users were telling me I should use the x86 version since I had less than 1GB of ram (it may be 2GB or 4GB, but im pretty sure they said 1GB) [01:10] Billiard: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8267664#post8267664 [01:10] ty penguin 42 [01:10] durt, Understood [01:10] file a bug report and check in with it later, nitro_ [01:10] ok, thanx [01:10] digitalstimulus: network manager still isn't reading it. No, it's just a 'thumbdrive' unit. [01:10] penguin42: I generated a new mode using gtf with 1280 720 60 -f, then pastedit in /etc/fb.modes. I then used sudo fbset "1280x720-60" (what i named the mode) and it didn't change. I ran fbset again and it told me it was still on 1024x768-76 [01:10] uh OK [01:10] ok 1 more stupid question, how do you respond to someone directly like you did penguin42 [01:10] Lets put it like this [01:11] p1und3r: do you still have your same swap partition? [01:11] can someone please help me [01:11] Billiard: i didn't alter anything [01:11] mikeru: Hmm not sure [01:11] caseyweederman, more than likely it needs USB 2.0 there are special things you have to do to setup GSM connections, I ddon't have any experience in it though [01:11] baltadt: I just typed there name with a : after - nothing clever! === krisH is now known as Guest87633 [01:11] This is more APT related, But how can I list all config files for a certain package? [01:11] !tab | baltadt [01:11] baltadt: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [01:11] penguin42: ty for helping a noob [01:11] p1und3r: run `free -om` [01:11] caseyweederman, google and forum reading is probably your best chance at success [01:12] baltadt: np! [01:12] caseyweederman, searching for your specific device [01:12] digitalstimulus: I'll look it up. Ohoh, google and forum reading have gotten me in circles. [01:12] Billiard: ok what is this telling me [01:12] Darkedge, You can list all files with 'dpkg -L [packagename]' IIRC [01:12] Hi there, I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 an currently my skype crashes when I try to make a video call. Audio is Ok, the computer is an ACEROne D0250 [01:12] p1und3r: what are the numbers for swap 0 or nonzero [01:12] Darkedge, All files installed by the package, that is. [01:12] unperson, Thanks [01:12] :) [01:13] Billiard: 12000 total, 0 used 1200 free [01:13] can someone please help me ? D= [01:13] Darkedge, Otherwise, if you check the man page for a tool it ought to talk about the config files that it uses. [01:13] p1und3r: k [01:13] does anyone know the command to make ubuntu click? [01:13] i'm thinking of exporting my gmail contacts to a file then import it to evolution. is that the most decent way to sync contacts? [01:13] like if i type "XXXX" in an .sh file [01:13] p1und3r: o, i see the problem [01:13] that a keyboard shortcut points to [01:13] Billiard: in gparted i have /dev/sda5 swap under /dev/sda2 extended [01:13] p1und3r: o sorry nvm i dont, ha [01:13] it would click underneath my cursor [01:13] wers, have you tried googling gmail/evolution sync [01:14] well that was very painless [01:14] uh OK I'm trying to find the config files for FoF I tried "fretsonfire" on dpkg it says its not installed, how can I get the package name? [01:14] wers, that is probably a very common inquiry [01:14] weegi: You can `echo -e` the BEL character in a script to get the system beep. [01:14] does anyone else have these issues with skype crashing when a video call is setup? [01:14] p1und3r: run `sudo mount -a` any errors? [01:14] hello everybody, I want to buy a new video card and I need help deciding what video card to buy [01:14] Walt1, does the camera work? [01:14] Walt1, and has it worked before in ubuntu [01:15] Billiard: nope [01:15] Billiard: no output [01:15] I can't get any of my webcams to work with ubuntu lol [01:15] fitus: have you checked the fsf website? [01:15] fitus, do yourself a favor and get a nvidia also OT. [01:15] ok [01:15] dajhorn: i'm trying to cheat flash games by changing my keyboard prefrences, so when you hit "x" it clicks, and when you hold down "x" it clicks ALOT! [01:15] yes. works fine when the test button is pressed and works well in cheese [01:15] digitalstimulus, yeah. that's the best i got. to export contacts to a file then import on evolution [01:15] Guys? [01:15] webcam support in linux is best done by purchasing stuff that already has a good support base from the community. webcams are a dime a dozen and most don't have good linux support [01:16] is it likely that the WLAN driver has impact on how much power is devoted to the WLAN card in linux? [01:16] dajhorn: because everyone enjoys a good flash game [01:16] any nvidia card will work or a specific model ? [01:16] Whats the command line to get my video card info in terminal? [01:16] weegi: Do you mean the keyboard repeat rate instead of "clicks"? [01:16] How can I find the name of a package, or what dpkg sees it as? [01:16] Okay, so /etc/network/interfaces defines various interfaces that can be brought up, right? But presumably there's a file elsewhere that tells the OS which interfaces to bring up at boot. Can anyone point me to the right place? [01:17] fitus, your going to be hard pressed to find an nvidia card that does not work with linux, again this is OT. [01:17] dajhorn: "left mouse button" [01:17] unperson: If that file has the word 'auto' on the line for the interface it gets bought up at boot [01:17] unperson: I thought that was the file [01:17] I don't think the issue is the webcam, I think it is with skype 2.1 Beta running under Ubuntu 9.10. It worked on 9.04 [01:17] so all nvidia's work otb? [01:17] Darkedge, What do you know? Just the name of the command? [01:17] Darkedge: fretsonfire-game is the game code.. [01:17] penguin42, Ah, got it [01:18] !ot | fitus [01:18] fitus: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:18] Walt1, did you get it from a repository? [01:18] unperson: Although a lot of magic now happens in /etc/NetworkManager and I can't honestly say what happens there [01:18] ChogyDan, Apparently you were right [01:18] durt: My NVIDIA GFORCE 7400 GO Freezes up my pc randomly when I use preliminarydrivers for it. Which means no world of warcraft for me :( [01:18] Billiard: thanks for taking a look i do appreciate it, it's a strange problem.. i guess the error is harmless just annoying me alot [01:18] yo penguin42. [01:18] fitus: Look at the release notes for the Nvidia 185 driver, and choose a card that is fully supported by that driver version. [01:18] anthony_, preliminary? [01:18] dajhorn; i make a keyboard combination preform a mouse "click" and change the repeat rate to REALLY FAST === michaelcarr is now known as Strife89 [01:18] ok [01:18] Sir_Konrad: Yo indeed [01:18] penguin42, The problem I have is that NM seems totally unaware of my existing connection. [01:18] bastid_raZor, Thanks I was trying fretsonfire :) [01:18] weegi: No, that doesn't work for a mouse click. [01:18] hello =) [01:18] No,from the Skype website [01:19] weegi: Automating mouse clicks is difficult. [01:19] unperson: I haven't really got my head around NM [01:19] meant to say *Proprietary [01:19] unperson: if you use the interfaces file for an interface, NM will ignore it [01:19] dajhorn; but possable [01:19] it's amazing to guys can recognize eachother in this jungle penguin42. ;P [01:19] Is there anyone who would be nice enough to try and help me out? [01:19] Darkedge: if you use synaptic and do a quick search.. that is how i find most things. [01:19] weegi: Yes, but it is probably deep voodoo. [01:19] anyone know how to automate mouse clicks? [01:19] Walt1, why not install it from a repository? it may not be the lastest version sometimes, but usually the repository stuff works well [01:19] dajhorn; and whichcraft [01:19] Darkedge, Generally doing apt-cache search [search term] will give you a list of packages that have that in the description. If you search on a command name this way, you'll generally find the package that contains it. [01:20] durt: Meant to say Proprietary. The screen gets all wierd looking and the computer freezes and I have to hard restart. [01:20] Sir_Konrad: Erm what? [01:20] When you install ubnutu 9.04 server with virtulization what type does it install. I am assuming of course it is hypervisor but what type is it?? [01:20] anthony_, there might be an issue with that GO, check the nvidia site for support as dajhorn just mentioned [01:20] is program "iwpriv" on clean install shipped with Karmic Desktop release? [01:20] Whats the command line to get my video card info in terminal? [01:20] Ok, do you know where the repository is for 32 bit skype? Thanks [01:20] unperson, bastid_raZor Thanks :) [01:20] witakr: lspci | grep -i vga [01:20] Walt1, google skype repository [01:20] penguin42, thanks [01:21] witakr: sudo lshw -C video the -C video might be wrong [01:21] ChogyDan, So I was told. I'm trying to figure out what I need to do if I want to start having NM handle my network connection. It sounds like I probably have to comment out those portions of /etc/network/interfaces and then configure the connection through NM. [01:21] anyone know how to automate mouse clicks, with keyboard shortcuts? [01:21] Ok thanks, bye [01:21] it's amazing to guys can recognize eachother in this jungle penguin42. ;P [01:21] unperson: correct [01:21] durt: I have spent hours looking for support on it. But I can't find anything about it. And I don't like posting on forums because people accuse you of not looking for yourself. :\ [01:21] Sir_Konrad: Erm well I don't actually recognise you I'm afraid [01:21] ChogyDan, Not sure whether or not that's a good idea, but it would be nice to have a GUI available for manipulating network settings and setting up a VPN (I haven't done this yet, but I'd like to). [01:21] penguin42: ##club-ubuntu. ;P [01:22] also [01:22] munchen80, a few kernel specific modules I suppose, depending on your arch and which version, it may or may not enable paravirtualisation kernel support [01:22] anthony_, it's always good when posting or asking to also let the people know some of the steps you've tried [01:22] anthony_, if there does not seem to be common issues with it, I would suggest hardware failure. [01:22] Is there a RPMFusion type-thing for distros. that use dpkg? [01:22] Ok, now that I have that info can someone please help me figure out why my computer freezes when I try to play games like tremulous and urbanterror? [01:22] Sir_Konrad: Ah well, yes we do hide in there :-) [01:22] anyone know how to automate mouse clicks? [01:22] lol [01:22] brb [01:22] weegi: What do you want to do with them? [01:22] durt: It doesn't happen in my Vista or Xp. [01:22] unperson: I dunno. I switched to NM when it came out. works for me, but it doesn't start internet till login... [01:23] witakr, do you have a 3d card? [01:23] penguin42: i am quite amused by flash games [01:23] penguin42: nothing mmo [01:23] ChogyDan, Yeah. That's a bit weird to me. Okay, really weird. [01:23] weegi: Indeed, I'm somewhat addicted to desktop tower defense [01:23] was I just here ? I pressed some button and accidentally disconnected [01:23] OK thanks [01:23] durt: I have Vista, Xp, and Ubuntu all installed on this pc and te only one I have video problems with is Ubuntu [01:24] ChogyDan, Most of the time I leave it logged in, but it would suck if I happened to forget to leave myself logged in (say after a reboot) and then couldn't SSH in later when I wanted to. [01:24] unperson: yeah, it sucks if you get any sorta failure preventing login :P [01:24] pennguin42: i know its possable, just not how [01:24] durt: And only when I have the proprietory drivers installed, otherwise ubuntu works fine [01:24] unperson: I have it set to autologin [01:24] ChogyDan, That's true. I hadn't even thought of that. [01:24] digitalstimulus, yes i think so [01:25] how do i start xmms2 after i've installed it? [01:25] witakr, what card do you have? [01:25] digitalstimulus, nVidia Corporation C51 [Geforce Go 6150] [01:25] its a laptop [01:25] ChogyDan, And you're fairly certain about this? [01:25] witakr, the 6150 chipset is very limited in its 3d capability, it's not really a gaming chipset [01:25] sebsebseb, the problem i had i fixed it [01:26] unperson: yes? which part? [01:26] witakr, it will render 3d though [01:26] thiebaude: How? [01:26] witakr: What game are you trying to play? [01:26] ChogyDan, Eh, the part about the network doesn't come up until someone logs in. [01:26] B [01:26] R [01:26] B [01:26] jrib, I went through both the lamp setup page and the serverguide to no avail [01:26] when i edited my xorg conf i had mispelled a word [01:26] :)) [01:26] the 6150 is not that hot even as a desktop graphics chipset [01:26] Darkedge: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:26] FloodBot Ok [01:27] digitalstimulus, well that is most unfortunate, I have drivers in the hardware driver util that says I have 3d accelleration drivers available but not active yet [01:27] unperson: I'm somewhat sure about that [01:27] ƸưĆØĆ¢ĆĆ²!

[01:28] how* [01:28] yoyoned; flash games [01:28] Luke: dpkg -S file [01:28] thanks [01:29] anthony_: like what [01:29] Luke: if it's installed. if it's not, use apt-file or http://packages.ubuntu.com [01:29] witakr, in console type "lsmod | grep nv" [01:29] LjL: htanks much [01:29] weegi: I have a runescape autoclicker that works on anything, not just runescape. [01:29] !spam | Prikolistik [01:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about spam [01:30] LjL-Temp: apt-file is always faster [01:30] witakr, not with 6150 you wont unless its at like 640x480 [01:30] anthony_: do you have a download page, or an .deb?

[01:31] i was able to fix this [01:31] weegi: but you would also have to play your game through wine as well [01:31] anthony_, doubt it, i have windows programs that work, but no windows [01:31] by opening temrinal and [01:31] witakr, then you probably aren't using the nvidia module. the nvidia module (restricted driver) is required to get the 3d functionality of your graphics chip [01:31] weegi: have you tried xmacro? [01:31] putting some ssentence in this popup window... [01:31] kp: try to keep it to fewer lines, this channel moves fast and your messages get split up [01:31] like a completely new pop up [01:31] ok [01:32] chogydan, from where do i get? [01:32] weegi: I'll check to see if the page I got it from still exists [01:32] * greezmunkey is back from baking bread, mmm [01:32] weegi: sudo apt-get install xmacro [01:32] I forgot what the sentence was to put in and also the command the made the popup window... [01:32] digitalstimulus, sounds good, what do i need to do to enable 3d functionality? Get the module? [01:32] Anyone know a good replacment for the horrible default Ubuntu theme? [01:32] plz help [01:32] Darkedge, try elementary [01:33] kp: you're going to have to be more specific as to what you need help with [01:33] I've just installed 9.10. on 9.04 I was prompted to install drivers for my 9400m - this time I've not got the restricted drivers ? do I have to do anything to enable them ? [01:33] ChogyDan, So clearly you generally know more about this than me, but I think that part may not be accurate. I realized that I have another machine running Karmic headless. I think NM is handling interfaces (/etc/network/interfaces definitely isn't) and I can ssh in with the who command showing no one else logged in. [01:33] linxeh, make sure they show up gksudo jockey-gtk [01:33] when i boot ubuntu from the first hard disk off the live cd i get error:out of disk [01:33] usser_: ok ta [01:33] ChogyDan, Now, GDM is definitely running (I haven't bothered to disable it), but no one is logged in. [01:34] ChogyDan, What's more, it looks from the output of ps like NM started before GDM. [01:34] chogydan: where is it after i install? [01:34] unperson: ah, so nm is handling it? cool. [01:34] someone help [01:34] ChogyDan, It appears on that machine NM is handling things and starting at boot, before login. [01:35] witakr, you have to install it under System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [01:35] okay ... I've been to #grub with this and the one guy I had there couldn't figure out what ubuntu did that broke this... but why in the world does it NOT honor GRUB_DEFAULT=saved? [01:35] anyone know how to stop the new firefox making an alert sound when you try to close it with tabs open (without turning off the ubuntu alert sounds) [01:35] When I do "/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid$ sudo echo -n 3-4:1.0 >unbind" I get "-bash: unbind: Permission denied" anyone help ? [01:35] i have no user on my system with sudo powers, what do i do?

[01:44] rahduke, nope, im here for help too :) [01:44] nowimproved: with gnome you can easily fix your screensaver etc [01:44] witakr: what's your issue? [01:44] mayb i can help [01:44] noob-gnome, i disabled the screen saver in gnome.. [01:44] Celroc: not sure on the best way to install fonts for wine apps, you probably could put windows fonts in the windows/fonts folder [01:44] anyone here running their linux on a PPC ibook? [01:44] kp gksu gedit /etc/default/grub [01:44] Celroc: but there may be packages to do this for you, idk [01:45] kp: Depends on whether you are using grub-legacy or grub2, and in general, knowing that won't maje you happy... [01:45] Faceman: Pardon me, this is off-topic, but is there a version of 9.10 for PPC? [01:45] Whats wrong in this sentence?

He'll be back later. [01:46] aperson got it [01:46] Celroc: np [01:46] rahduke, well I was helped by digitalstimulus and now I am trying the solution we found to see if it works, thanks though... but just fyi, i was unable to play games like tremulous and he told me its likely because I do not have 3d accelleration functionallity enabled and thats what Im doing now, enabling it.. sort of [01:46] nowimproved: did you check the time for the screensaver to activate. [01:46] Vad Ƥr fel hƤr? sudo mount -o loop worms.img /home/joel/HƤmtningar -t udf [01:46] Gah [01:46] I tried that [01:46] HI, I need help. I just upgraded from jaunty to karmic (AMD64).

It says its for people with less than 256MB of ram and PPC. But i have 1.5GB of ram, though PPC. [01:50] how do i see a Dvd movie in ubuntu [01:50] do "ls /proc/asound [01:50] rsc___: it may be /etc/samba/smb.conf, but im not sure [01:50] so do I have to use desktop CD or can I just use the regulaur version? [01:50] im not upragdingfrom 9.04...im doing a new fresh install [01:50] Billiard: thats what i was assuming but it wasn't. any other clues? [01:50] To the theme?

This sometimes ejects stubborn discs [01:52] kp: try http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/312731/ [01:53] It shows a card0 and a card1 when I do a ls /proc/asound [01:53] rsc___: not sure [01:53] sireorion: however there is a program that you can get that will provide such support [01:53] I got it Billard. it's in /var/lib/samba/usershares :D [01:53] sebsebseb: so u mean that i cant see ant dvd movies in ubuntu..... crap.... changing to xp again [01:53] rsc___: ok cool [01:53] "Can't move directory over directory" [01:53] sireorion: no [01:53] A DVD movie...

[01:55] How was I trolling? [01:55] Celroc: He told you to get VLC, which won't play commercial DVD's inside Ubuntu by default [01:55] celroc: thanks, when I re-inserted the dvd and opened it with "movie player", not working, and no error msg [01:56] how do i turn off the prompt for my password when i resume from hibernation?

[01:57] that's* [01:57] eeeeeeeeeeeeeee [01:58] rbunny: Sorry, I didn't know that you couldn't play DVD's in Ubuntu unless you added packages.

However if you start using that you should be asking help for it in their channel [01:59] uh Where are themes stored? I thought it was .themes but no themes are in there [01:59] ubottu, I'm disappointed [01:59] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:59] and BRB [01:59] !mint | rbunny Celroc sireorion [01:59] rbunny Celroc sireorion: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[02:01] DigitalKiwi: well you should have seen what sireorion put a little while ago, when they thought they coudn't get commercial DVD support working [02:01] DigitalKiwi: basically said that that sucked and that they would go back to XP [02:01] lawl [02:01] sebsebseb: "sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2" brings up an error message about not having a proper installation candidate?

Actually, I don't really need it ATM, though. I just didn't know about the DVD thing with Ubuntu [02:03] DigitalKiwi: WMP can do DVD's in Windows [02:03] I think I've played dvds with it before but I thought I recalled having to download stuff :/ [02:03] Celroc sireorion rbunny: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Installing%20libdvdcss is what you need to know...

I.e., update the server first, then in the other 2 machines, set the server up as another repository?

[02:10] MK13: isn't ad hoc mode for when there is no router? [02:10] Nightsky, the router is usually the master, but i don't have a wireless router yet which is why i need master mode on my wireless card so i can share my wired connection through it [02:10] sireorion: then I'm not sure, tried using vlc?

[02:29] robert__: i have a x-fi fatal1ty pro, it works ok although the max volume is limited. [02:29] robert__: be on the Live CD system > adminisrration > partition editor [02:29] <_ULNX64_> jmyles yes [02:29] robert__: and delete the partitions you want to === lstarnes is now known as sheep [02:30] sheep: why the name change to that?

[02:31] sheep: oh ok [02:31] Speaking of help, how long does it take you all for gnome help to come up the first time you hit F1 in nautilus? [02:31] shouldn't I see the us-144 audio interface in qjackctl's connect window? [02:31] jMyles: this worked for me: edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf and comment out the line that says "blacklist ath5k", then reboot [02:31] jester, does it use usb?

[02:31] <_ULNX64_> i new from mandriva [02:31] Ruge: format it ext3 and then load the ext3 driver in windows [02:31] Ruge: Ubuntu can read and write to your Windows NTFS partition no problem as long as Windows is shut down properly. Ubuntu has been able to do that kind of stuff since the 7.10 version October 2007 [02:31] Cuz it takes > 30 seconds for me [02:31] Ruge: also I would recommend not sharing your Linux partitions with Windows [02:31] sebsebseb: for some reason NTFS in gParted is greyed out [02:32] Nightsky: took about 20 secs here [02:32] Ruge: and that driver that was mentioned by scunizi does not always work properly [02:32] SetiAmon: i am using 2.1 speakers, u? [02:32] sebsebseb: oh right, it was going to be a drive for my music, movies etc. [02:32] IdleOne: thanks [02:32] pochi: There was no ath5k, only ath_pci [02:32] <_ULNX64_> catch 22, and you would have to track down all the depends manually [02:32] sebsebseb: Ruge there's a couple of different ones.. you mileage may vary but I've never had an issue [02:32] pochi: Do you know which packaged caused the bork? [02:32] Headphones [02:33] sebsebseb: ahh right, hmm well... XP is running a vBox, ill just do all my audio/video viewing on ubuntu [02:33] I hate speakers,have some sick headphones though. [02:33] I see like google chrome takes under 5 seconds to come up! Too bad about yelp. [02:33] Ruge: oh your doing Ubuntu in a vm [02:33] Ruge: I suggest you put it on for real, and do most of your computer stuff in it :) [02:33] sebsebseb: im doing XP in a VM [02:33] Nightblaze, i suggest you follow this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1192296 === sheep is now known as lstarnes [02:33] haha whoops i emant [02:33] jMyles: not sure what it was, but it seems to have been a conflict between the old mad dirvers and the new ath5k drivers [02:33] XP is running IN a vbox :) [02:33] SetiAmon: have you got it plugged into the right port? Try setting it to stereo and try plugging into the 2nd port from the top. [02:33] Ruge: Well there is way to share your virtual hard disk with Ubuntu [02:34] Ruge: #vbox can help with stuff like that, I am not exaclty sure how to do it, plus they have a good manual on the site for vbox [02:34] jMyles: take a look at ubuntu bug #315056 [02:34] <_ULNX64_> it happend to me too, switched back to 9.04, goes to show ya, just becouse theres a 6 month release cycle dont mean it needed [02:34] Ruge: and yes that's a good way to do it, Ubuntu as host, XP as guest [02:34] ahhh right [02:34] pochi: Commenting out the blacklist does not work - and there is no ath5k, only ath_pci [02:34] yeah [02:35] btw, ext4 is the best atm? better than ext3/2? [02:35] Jester05: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=357971 _might_ be of interest... [02:35] fcuk112 i did a clean install and the headphones were never unplugged [02:35] _ULNX64_: Newer is not always better! in the case of Ubuntu it depends on the user, but also hardware [02:35] Ruge: sebsebseb you can also share a dirctory in ubuntu with a vbox windows guest [02:35] alright thanks arand [02:35] Ruge: uhmm [02:35] <_ULNX64_> i agree [02:35] jMyles: maybe you need to blacklist ath5k then? :) [02:35] Ruge: Ext4 is maybe a tiny bit dodgy still even though it's the default for 9.10 [02:35] SetiAmon: strange, dunno sorry. [02:35] pochi: hahaha [02:35] Ruge: I woudn't rely on it just yet for loads and loads of data [02:35] sebsebseb: ill stick to Ext3 then [02:36] Ruge: for your data partition sure [02:36] cool, cheers [02:36] Ruge: for a Ubuntu install Ext4 :) [02:36] Ruge, it's stable now, for everything but absolute 100% production [02:36] how do I see the futon interface for my instance of desktop-couch?

It failed out of the box, so I plugged it in to a wired connection, and got all the karmic updates. Then it worked fine. Now, today, after updating a few more packages, boom. [02:36] Well, my Ubuntu drive is Ext4 [02:36] jMyles: but after upgrading today, that file contained "blacklist ath5k" for me. didn't have anything like that before, so I don't know why you also doesn't have it [02:36] Ill just take a punt on Ext4 :) [02:36] Ruge: it's also in a vm, I hope you put it on your computer for real soon with real partitions :) [02:37] !dualboot | Ruge [02:37] Ruge: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [02:37] SebSebSeb: Ubuntu is my primary OS [02:37] jMyles: if you do lsmod | grep ath, does it list anything?

[02:44] jMyles: my best guess would be that you comment out the "blacklist ath_pci" and add "blacklist ath5k" [02:44] Nightblaze: sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/sound probably this removed your hardware drivers for sound hehe.. so it did what was supposed to do [02:44] Thanks for all your help :-). Guess I'm going to log out for now. Bye all, have a good night [02:44] <_ULNX64_> has the fan stopped spinning? [02:44] pochi: Yeah, I think that's accurate. I'm not sure why ath_pci is listed or even what the difference is. Either way, the issue seems to be exactly the same as widely reported, but un-blacklisting doesn't help. Frankly, I don't really want to unblacklist as it is a friend's laptop who won't know to re-blacklist when ath5k gets worked out. [02:44] _ULNX64_, does it? ...there seems to be a rush of air coming out the vents at the back left ... [02:44] jMyles: that might bring you back on the madwifi wagon [02:45] My question: I am trying to find the xorg.conf file on my system. I have looked in /etc/X11 but it is not there. Where should I look? [02:45] _ULNX64_, it seems to run constantly! [02:45] pochi: You were serious about that?! :-) I'll give it a try. [02:45] Nightblaze: did you restore them? [02:45] i've decided to dual-boot Ubuntu, and I'm trying to rescue all my music and video files from my Root-Kit infected Windows partition, but Ubuntu doesn't recognize any operating systems and partitions on my harddrive [02:45] nathaniel64: you don't have one [02:45] TDGW: wow you really got one of those? [02:45] Hi. What package have the kernel and kernel modules (alsa drivers)? [02:45] nathaniel64, does not exist anymore, create it yourselve and it will be read. [02:45] it believe it's just empty space or a file-storing harddrive, and I need to find some way to save my files [02:45] Hmm. that makes the guide I am using sort of useless [02:45] sebsebseb; yeah, i have no idea [02:45] ccfontes: i did all of what the guide said, so i'm not sure, lemme try the last part again [02:45] sailormoon [02:46] kazuo: linux-image-generic has the generic kernel image [02:46] sebsebseb; a friend might've given me it [02:46] <_ULNX64_> is everything running slow === haenet3 is now known as sailormoon_fh3 [02:46] nathaniel64, 'sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf' [02:46] <_ULNX64_> is everything running slow? [02:46] <_ULNX64_> all the time? [02:46] pochi: Trying now. Restarting. The deeper problem is that I don't really want to be on the madwifi wagon as I'm sure the ath5k's broken wagon wheel will be fixed soon. If not, we can trade one of our Oxen for one next time another party passes - assuming we don't die of dysentery. [02:46] Nightblaze: try it. maybe something went wrong [02:46] has anyone got ideas with how to solve problems with mounting ext usb Wester Digital MyBook hard drive? [02:46] _ULNX64_, ...no, not really [02:46] Question: I've got Ubuntu 9.10. What's the simplest way for a beginner(Windows convert) to downoad Pidgin? [02:47] lstarnes: thanks, you know are is alsa modules? [02:47] i just got 9.10 too! [02:47] Could some point me too a good guide on getting the integrated Radeon XPress graphics drivers running? [02:47] Sirius: Applications --> Internet --> Pidgin [02:47] kazuo: it's included in a different package [02:47] high five, sirius ;) [02:47] jMyles: should just be enough to switch the blacklist statements to go back to ath5k though [02:47] leaf-sheep: no not there by default in 9.10 [02:47] Sirius, 'sudo apt-get install pidgin' [02:47] kazuo: I don't know which one though [02:47] leaf-sheep: since Empathy replaced it [02:47] Sirius: Applications - Ubuntu Software Center [02:47] Sirius, open "software center", search for it and install it [02:47] sebsebseb: Oh Karmic. >_> [02:47] pochi: OK, blacklisting gives me no wireless whatsoever. [02:47] lol, high-five [02:47] Sirius: or even better :) and quicker [02:47] ok guys, i just got ubuntu 9.10 and have always been a windows user..... [02:47] Sirius: "sudo aptitude install pidgin" [02:47] Nightblaze: and by the way `uname -r` is for the kernel you are running. the howto is wrong. it should have `uname -r` for the kernel below he is reinstalling, and he assumes 2.6.28 [02:47] Sirius: applicaitons > assesories > termianl [02:47] anyone know anything about hard-drives and partitioning? [02:47] When I first installed Ubuntu (9.04) the drive worked fine for a while. Then, all of a sudden, it 'clicked off' and I've had problems with it ever since. Am now running 9.10 (5th install mind you!!) [02:47] jMyles: you blacklisted ath5k? [02:47] can you help me please with the installation? [02:48] Sirius: sudo apt-get install pidgin [02:48] pochi: Yep, and now even worse [02:48] lstarnes: ok, thanks [02:48] ccfontes: it didn't install properly, it couldn't find any of the packages [02:48] TDGW: yes [02:48] Nightblaze: uname -r please [02:48] CapeFear, sure, but you need to ask a detailed question [02:48] jMyles: so not even an wireless interface? [02:48] sebsebseb; care to help me? [02:48] ccfontes: ah, so it's trying to install the wrong file? [02:48] <_ULNX64_> take to a repair shop, tell them to check the heatsink fan, sounds like hardware failure.. [02:48] durt, well, i just want to be clear about the general situation [02:48] Thanks guys! [02:48] pochi: correct. [02:48] Nightblaze: yes most probably. I will try to give you the right instruction. hold on [02:48] jMyles: oh well, better backtrack then :) [02:48] _ULNX64_, with the fan/heat you mean? [02:49] With Karmic how can I get DVDs to play on Ubuntu? [02:49] pochi: Yeah. :-) [02:49] this channel is going faster than an intercontinental ballistic missile though ... [02:49] TDGW: ,but I don't know why you can't detect your Windows partition. Well for Ubuntu to be able to access it without any problems, Windows must have closed it down properly. If not there is some kind of force unmount or something. [02:49] CapeFear, then read up at help.ubuntu.com or wiki.ubuntu.com... yes address others by name [02:49] TDGW: command [02:49] sebsebseb; it's properly mounted and i can access all the files from Ubuntu [02:49] jMyles: this was the thread that helped me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1305812 [02:49] Tiders: I finished first steps- let get the url [02:49] hey , when i restart ubuntu i got erorr post message http://tinyurl.com/yb2qg9j , what to do ? thanks ! [02:49] sebsebseb; but the partitioners and the install disc doesnt recognize it [02:49] pochi: Can't tell you how content I'd be just to revert whatever package updated today and just wait until a better update comes out. [02:49] Nightblaze: sudo aptitude reinstall linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-image-`uname -r` linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` [02:50] Nightblaze: this should do the trick [02:50] durt so when i install ubuntu, i'll need to resize the windows partition, right (i want to create a dual boot) [02:50] TDGW: well it's got a rootkit apparnatlly, which maybe has something to do with that [02:50] Tiders ...I don't know what others think of this site? http://theindexer.wordpress.com/2009/10/25/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-9-10-aka-karmic-koala/ [02:50] Tiders, it has info on enabling DVD support [02:50] TDGW: either way though get the data moved into Ubuntu, and then remove that partition [02:50] durt and resize means just to change the disk space for windows from say 100 GB to 90 GB [02:50] CapeFear, sure, use gparted. [02:50] jMyles: don't know if that's even possible [02:50] sebsebseb; im running via a Live CD [02:50] :( [02:50] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683&highlight=dvd+player [02:50] <_ULNX64_> the CPU eather has a large base plate leading to the fan, [Hardware failer then] or a small fan on top of the heat sink stopped. common. i doubt very much is software [02:50] TDGW: meaning no Ubuntu install?

I wanted to know how to change the output's color... I wanted to use a library to do that so I can load it when I use it... can you help me?

[02:52] Nightblaze: yeah, no problem. maybe you should comment in that thread for fixing the howto. it is definitely misleading [02:52] jMyles: Ubuntu: #315056, #323830 [02:52] pochi: Yeah, I have - they are pretty dense. [02:52] sebsebseb; so how do i go about doing that on 9.04? Also, i have around 120gb of music on my computer, wont that take days? [02:52] UBlondie, But it says it could not read from resource when I try to open the DVD [02:52] TDGW: well really your meant to backup a lot of data onto say an external hard disk, in case your hard disk fails for example [02:52] durt ok, so right now i'm using windows, and i would like to install ubuntu 9.04 ... how exactly do i use gparted from windows?

[03:29] how can i secure my computer from attacks more than just the firewall? [03:29] DigitalKiwi : or mac vs. windows [03:30] lstarnes: i already have libm.so though, but maybe i'm missing a dev package? there's not libm-dev..

[03:49] lilyshu -> so what do you want to do with it? man fdisk to find out what it can do [03:49] mrbrdo: it should not be in $PATH [03:50] lstarnes: it's not, i'm just asking [03:50] that's even better... [03:50] mrbrdo: $PATH is for executables only [03:50] lstarnes: did you use the same command line to compile as i did? [03:50] sebsebseb: Thanks I got that. Besides I want to install fresh from the 9.10 release and not the beta and update. I want to see the nice pictures on the install [03:50] mrbrdo -> perhaps look at your $LIBPATH too [03:50] it's empty [03:50] mrbrdo: I was using a different file just checking -lm [03:50] Xpistos: Well do what I just said then [03:50] does anyone have any good window managers i should try other than gnome or kde [03:50] said/put [03:50] or xfce [03:50] sebsebseb: I am checking the iso I have now [03:51] what would be the 4th best lol [03:51] sebsebseb: or as soon as I find it [03:51] hii anyone tried to install oracle 10g r2 in karmic + how to work around the relink errors [03:51] Xpistos: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10 you can find the code it needs to be in one of those fiels [03:51] maybe a dumb question, but I've made kind of a half-assed effort to revert to pure ubuntustudio from a clean ubuntu 9.10 install and, though jack and rt are doing great, my media-center is replaced by gnome-app-install. any advice on how to switch these back without borking my system that I'm otherwise very pleased with? maybe some kind of OS-save-state app? [03:51] n8tuser how can i set it? set LIBPATH = /usr/lib doesn't work [03:52] is it possible to install PLymouth on Karmic ?? [03:52] there is a repo for it === root is now known as Guest54919 [03:52] but it doesn't launch on boot [03:52] lstarnes: any other idea what i can try [03:52] How can I add a place to the "Places" menu? [03:52] mrbrdo: you don't need LIBPATH (I dion't have it either) [03:52] anyone like openbox [03:52] bye bye [03:52] lstarnes okay [03:53] im getting relink error in karmic 64 when trying to install oracle 10g r2...i tried every forums [03:53] !info labPlot [03:53] labplot (source: labplot): data plotting and function analysis tool for KDE.

[03:57] when i connect my monitor via vga to my laptop, ubuntu freezes. Anyway i can fix this? [03:57] n8tuser: none, i put it as a -L param [03:57] mrbrdo: repalce the $1 and $1.c with the name of the output file and the .c file [03:57] n8tuser: -L/usr/lib/libm.a [03:57] go to (main) menue and click it in tools [03:57] mrbrdo: that command worked for me [03:57] lstarnes: i run it as a bash script [03:57] i have just installed when i go to software center.. most of the application it says not available. [03:57] lstarnes: with $1 being a param.. that's not the problem [03:57] i unfortuntly need Internet Explorer to access a website, just wondering whats needed to get IE on ubuntu or even get the IE Tab addon for FF working [03:58] iarp, well the IE tab addon for FF requires IE. :-( [03:58] aruna : use synaptic instead [03:58] I am new to Ubuntu [03:58] !ies4linux | iarp [03:58] iarp: ies4linux is a script that quickly and effortlessly helps you install 3 versions of IE in Wine. Information can be found at http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page including instructions specifically for Ubuntu. ies4linux is aimed at web designers and ie-only sites, so please, donā€™t use any of the IEs to navigate! Use Firefox!

[03:59] sebsebseb: I will hollar at you later my friend [03:59] anyone used oracle 10g r2 in ubuntu karmic 64? [03:59] WACOMalt- sys / prefs / main menu [03:59] n8tuser: http://www.pastie.org/688536 [03:59] Aruna, you're having problems with your package manager? [03:59] or can anyone tell me how to compile a gcc with -m32 options [03:59] mrbrdo -> basically -L says look here before the other path [03:59] mrbrdo: you do have build-essential installed, right? [04:00] lstarnes: yep [04:00] Xpistos: I am leaving here soon [04:00] mrbrdo: in which version of ubuntu? [04:00] What's a good mp3 player that works w/ linux ... thinking about a sansa .. anyone have any tips [04:00] i read in one of the forum tha the user renamed the /usr/bin/gcc to gcc.sav and created a new gcc with /usr/bin/gcc -m32 $.* [04:00] mrbrdo -> i believed you can only have one -L but am not 100% sure of that [04:00] lstarnes: i think 9.04, what's that file to look in again? [04:00] Xcell: Still not seeing this. I am on 9.10. [04:00] xmnt: Cowon stuff, they also have support for the open OGG Vorbis and Flac formats :) [04:00] lstarnes: okay i found it, it's 9.04 yeah [04:00] and i m totally clueless about what he was saying can anyone decrypt that for me pls [04:00] xmnt, the only one I can think of that you can't get to work with Linux is the Zune series. [04:01] question: firefox got updated. I was told to restart it. It wont die. What is the command? Ubuntu 9.04 on a desktop PC in wubi [04:01] mrbrdo: I'm using 8.04 [04:01] n8tuser: well i already have -L/usr/lib, so where's the problem then [04:01] mrbrdo: which version of gcc do you have> [04:01] xmnt, I'd recommend anything down the Sansa line. iPods work well with Ubuntu too. [04:01] had an ipod before it worked well until i stepped on it [04:01] its there.. system / preferances / main menu /ststem tools [04:01] mrbrdo: if you don't know, use gcc --version [04:01] lstarnes: 4.3.3 [04:01] xmnt, Mine exploded. =( [04:01] MrLogan: You could always vm xp with usb support [04:01] mrbrdo -> i cant remember all the options of gcc, you may just have to tackle the man pages of gcc [04:01] mrbrdo: I have 4.2.4 === caleb is now known as Guest71989 [04:02] MrLogan, yikes [04:02] can someone recommend good security channels [04:02] Xpistos, I VM'ed Vista, because that's what I had, and... well... I'm not doing that. [04:02] MrLogan: i don't blame you [04:02] i read in one of the forum tha the user renamed the /usr/bin/gcc to gcc.sav and created a new gcc with /usr/bin/gcc -m32 $.* can anyone tell me what exactly is the meaning of it and how it can be done [04:02] Bamboo: You mean for hardening your servers? [04:03] * wubiogen cant get media working either. used the minidell 9.10 media page to do it [04:03] lstarnes, n8tuser: actually, if i delete -lm, then it nags the same error for the next lib (-lX11), if i delete that, it nags for the next etc..? [04:03] kuttans are you compiling ? [04:03] so it seems it doesn't find any lib :S [04:03] Hey, I asked BEFORE bamboo asked. [04:03] any good IRC channels which discuss on all security issues [04:03] question: firefox got updated. I was told to restart it. It wont die. What is the command? Ubuntu 9.04 on a desktop PC in wubi [04:03] pkill firefox [04:03] mrbrdo: try taking out everything after and including the -rdynamic [04:03] wubiogen, pkill firefox [04:03] ok [04:03] Bamboo: Not sure, but you could try #debian [04:03] i dont know, im having already gcc the newest version, but with that im getting relink error whie installing oracle [04:03] wubiogen: By the way for proper long term installs real partitions are better. [04:04] I cant vga output with my laptop, everything goes black and ubuntu freezes. [04:04] thanks, let me try that.. [04:04] anyone know a fix? [04:04] wubiogen: Wubi installs can also be converted some how into proper partitions. [04:04] lstarnes: where should i put -rdynamic? gcc doesn't recongise it [04:04] Bamboo: I don't think there are any [04:04] ok, I've been working on trying to get my speakers to work, and with the help of ccfontes have been able to get the hardware listed in the Sound Preferences again. However the mic and speakers still don't work, and everything is unmuted. I'm using this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7627817&postcount=98 [04:04] terrific! thanks a lot. and now for YOUTUBE IS BLACK. What to do? [04:04] mrbrdo: the command that you gave me nad a -rdynamic in it [04:05] oh sry [04:05] sec [04:05] wubiogen: install flash plugin [04:05] n8tuser: i dont know, im having already gcc the newest version, but with that im getting relink error whie installing oracle [04:05] mrbrdo -> -l is for the library itself, not a path or a dir [04:05] (me has been lucky. Wireless, printer, speakers all work seamlessly on this older Dell desktop) [04:05] lstarnes: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgdk [04:05] robin0800, if he didn't have flash wouldn't he be seeing a link to get flash instead of a black screen/ [04:06] n8tuser: yeah..? [04:06] mrbrdo: well that's not making any sense... [04:06] wubiogen, Ubuntu is a solid platform for most software. It works with my Alps Nav pad and everything. [04:06] lstarnes: no, it's not :S [04:06] mrbrdo: try installing gcc-4.2 then usinbg gcc-4.2 instead of gcc [04:06] karmic 64 bit and oracle anyone got lucky enough here who worked around the relink problem [04:06] kuttans -> oracle is a beast to install, oracle officially only supports suse and redhat and their own linux.. so trying it on unofficial distro.. you have to jump through hoops [04:07] yeah i can understand, i was having success with oracle xe which was a deb package but still had to do a lot of workaround for that too [04:07] mrbrdo -> but per your posting, you have -lpathhere not a library file [04:07] `337 is on to something [04:07] lstarnes: same error still [04:07] n8tuser: yeah i just tried that, i removed it [04:07] so having confidence with that i started oracle 10 g, but with no luck [04:07] Thankyou i can install now :) [04:07] If I was looking to use my gamepad as a remote-control style device for use with Audacious, Movie Player, VLC and perhaps Rhythmbox, would that be possible? [04:07] n8tuser: how do i set $LD_LIBRARY_PATH [04:08] mrbrdo -> its just an environment variable like $PATH [04:08] i got an idea from one of the forum that gcc is the problem, bcoz gcc for multilib may not be really understanding the .so files correctly [04:08] n8tuser: how do i set it [04:08] Or should I say, would it be possible to do globally instead of via individual plugins per application? [04:08] NoTownKasper, what kind of gamepad? [04:08] i have just installed the Ubuntu when i see in network connection my Wireless is not visible :( [04:08] n8tuser: set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib doesn't work [04:08] so i want to have a gcc with -m32 option and im clueless about it [04:09] mrbrdo: replace set with export [04:09] Aruna: Try refresh [04:09] MrLogan: USB, 8 button + d-pad, basically a PS1 style before they added the dual analog joysticks. [04:09] mrbrdo -> what do you mean? did you then try to see if $LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set? [04:09] Aruna, right click on your network icon. Is Enable Wireless checked? [04:09] n8tuser : do you know about this creating gcc with /usr/bin/gcc -m32 $.* [04:09] n8tuser: it wasn't or it was empty [04:09] kuttans nope, and people that makes oracle work gets paid big bux [04:09] NoTownKasper, I don't see why it wouldn't work. You have it plugged in? Is it visible on the desktop? [04:10] no... what it shows in top network link is Wireless Disabled [04:10] Wireless Network Disconnected [04:10] MrLogan: It's plugged in, though I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'visible on the desktop'. [04:10] Aruna: is it a laptop? [04:10] yes [04:10] kuttans try to use the officially supported Oracle platforms.. [04:10] Aruna: ifconfig [04:10] i am using HP laptop [04:11] oook [04:11] Aruna: iwconfig [04:11] asem lah [04:11] bab1 [04:11] mrbrdo -> and as per lstarnes you have to export it so that it gets carried over to the next shell [04:11] MrLogan - I was so pleased about the ease. And understanding about the need to have non-free be separately installed. But I cant get it working. (9.04 Dell, did I say wubi?) :D --> black youtube. no radio. I've tried several things. have I siad too much ,err installed too much? :/ [04:11] nt8user: yeah a good idea.... but the problem with me is that i want to have only one os not dealing with many [04:11] Hello!!!!!!! anyone here knows how can i change the GTK tooltips-delay-settings????????? [04:11] iwconfig will work ? [04:11] Aruna: In a terminal window type iwconfig [04:11] n8tuser: i did that but it didn't help [04:11] can i have multiple gcc in my ubuntu 64 and switch between the version with alternative option? [04:11] NoTownKasper, look at your desktop. Do you see an icon for it visible? [04:11] Hello!!!!!!! anyone here knows how can i change the GTK tooltips-delay-settings????????? [04:11] kuttans -> well linux is linux.. not a whole lots of difference, but official distro are perhaps tweaked with oracle's libs [04:12] Aruna: Tell us what it says. [04:12] MrLogan: No. But I have things set up so that there are no icons on the desktop for anything. [04:12] wubiogen, When you attempt to view a youtube video it just shows a black screen? Any sound? [04:12] n8tuser: i'm suddenly getting this error now: /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.3/../../../../lib/crt1.o: In function `_start': [04:12] nope [04:12] Aruna: Does it say "No wireless extensions"? [04:12] n8tuser: /build/buildd/glibc-2.9/csu/../sysdeps/i386/elf/start.S:115: undefined reference to `main' [04:12] n8tuser: exactly but i want to have a balance of flexibility and usability.......anyway [04:13] yes [04:13] mrbrdo -> you may want to join #c for this in-depth discussions, [04:13] Hello!!!!!!! anyone here knows how can i change the GTK tooltips-delay-settings????????? [04:13] NoTownKasper, there shouldn't be icons unless you plug something in, move something to the desktop, or put in a CD or other removable media. Ok - pull up a terminal. [04:13] MrLogan. no but mpeg2 works [04:13] lo no wireless extensions. [04:13] What wireless card do you have? [04:13] eth0 no wireless extensions. [04:13] pan0 no wireless extensions [04:13] I copied someone else's sources.list off the web. I backed up the default sources.list. I found out that I don't like the contents of the sources.list I copied I tried to return to the default. How do I revert to the program versions available in the default sources.list? [04:13] how to see that ! [04:13] Aruna: lspci [04:13] Aruna: lspci |grep ireless [04:14] ok im leaving now but i wont stop at this [04:14] wubiogen, go to google - type in "flash player", hit enter. Open the first link. Choose the option for Ubuntu 8.04+ - open with package handler and install that package. [04:14] MrLogan: Terminal open, but what I mean is I went through gconf-editor and turned off even those icons, even mounted drives don't show on my desktop. :D [04:14] n8tuser: nevermind, now it works, no idea why though.. i think it may be some problem when saving the build script in nano, because now that i saved it in gedit it seems to work. weird ^^ [04:14] Aruna: would you be the aruna from VFXtalk? [04:14] lstarnes, n8tuser: thx for the help! [04:14] will definitely work on this and come with a solution...till that time bye friends [04:14] ok, I've been working on trying to get my speakers to work, and with the help of ccfontes have been able to get the hardware listed in the Sound Preferences again. However the mic and speakers still don't work, and everything is unmuted. I'm using this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7627817&postcount=98 [04:14] NoTownKasper, My bad. Ok - unplug your gamepad. Type lsusb. Plug in your gamepad and type in lsusb. Post the difference. [04:15] mrbrdo -> i can only remember so much...been a while since i did system programming [04:15] 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) [04:15] there is no wireless [04:15] Hello!!!!!!! anyone here knows how can i change the GTK tooltips-delay-settings?????????

[04:17] anyone here knows how can i change the GTK tooltips-delay-settings????????? [04:18] ok, I've been working on trying to get my speakers to work, and with the help of ccfontes have been able to get the hardware listed in the Sound Preferences again.

[04:21] NoTownKasper, I don't see a difference. What's the brand? [04:21] anyone here knows how can i change the GTK tooltips-delay-settings????????? [04:21] ah, wait, i think i found what went wrong [04:21] RPG_Master, your processor is decrepit.

[04:23] :) i mean [04:23] may be i dont have that version? [04:23] MrLogan: And to answer your question, it's a Gamemon, I can give you the model number if you want, but yeah, just a generic. [04:23] RPG_Master, It means your processor is very old and it's time to get a new one. [04:23] NoTownKasper, Model number would be great [04:23] also... diswrapper is not in the Synaptic list [04:24] MrLogan: :O but my laptop is only a year old... :( [04:24] MrLogan: Model number: ft2e92 [04:24] RPG_Master, Post brand, model, type please? Also - which version of Ubuntu, when did you install it, and did you get any updates. [04:24] NoTownKasper, thanks. [04:25] Does anyone here have a LiveUSB working with 9.10? [04:25] MrLogan: AMD, Turion 2.4ghz(I think), I installed Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. I'v never had these issues with 8.04-9.04 :/ [04:26] 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) Whichone to install ? === steve_ is now known as mercury7 [04:27] RPG_Master, Do you have a 64bit arch? Kind of redundant, I know - as the Os wouldn't work without it... [04:28] MrLogan: Yep, my processor is 64-bit [04:28] anyone there to help me. [04:28] RPG_Master, Just covering my bases here. When did you install 9.10 and did you get updates? [04:28] !ask | Aruna [04:28] Aruna: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:29] <[uNF]> could someone help me install flash player in ubuntu? [04:29] i am sorry. [04:29] Aruna: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [04:29] <[uNF]> I try to extract the .so file to mozilla/plugins but it wont allow me to [04:29] you could download the .deb from adobe [04:29] !wireless [04:29] [uNF]: 32bit or 64 bit? [04:29] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:29] MrLogan: I installed like two days after the release [04:29] for flash they have a ubuntu option under the os [04:30] <[uNF]> NoTownKasper, 32bit [04:30] you have to save the file before you can install it though [04:30] [uNF]: Should be as simple as going to adobe's site and downloading the .deb package... [04:30] MrLogan: I backed up my entire HOME directory (.files and all) and put them back after the fresh install [04:30] o god the device says its not activated. [04:31] Aruna: Activate it [04:31] RPG_Master, you dont have /home on a separate partition? [04:32] SeaPhor: Nope [04:32] i recently changed one of my harddrives to LUKS ecryp. with the disk utility [04:33] <[uNF]> NoTownKasper, so how about uninstalling safely the ones that I installed that were not flash? [04:33] it didnt ask for encryp option though [04:33] I'm trying to mount a raid array and I get "no buffer space available" - what's happening? it worked before [04:33] <[uNF]> when I go to youtube, all of the videos come up, but it's just all black where the video should be playing [04:34] [uNF]: Open up synaptic and search for it by name, it -should- show in the list as installed, then check for 'complete removal' and remove it that way...that's how I'd do it. [04:34] hi [04:34] when i activate it says "SystemError: installArchives() failed [04:35] Aruna: You need to be connected to the internet ( via ethernet ) [04:35] Aruna: It needs to download the firmware [04:35] yes i am connected [04:36] i am using IRC using net connection. [04:36] <[uNF]> thanks NoTownKasper :) [04:36] [uNF]: My pleasure. [04:36] whoa...I did something that seems to have reversed my mouse buttons! What a trip!

If I try to load Preferences > Sound I get a screen waiting for audio device. I need to fix this asap [04:38] <[uNF]> shit NoTownKasper, still when I go to youtube, all the videos just are all black [04:38] <[uNF]> it's like it won't play [04:39] WACOMalt: Right-click on your gnome panel of choice (assuming you're using gnome) and click 'add to panel' Add the 'notification area' applet, and your volume icon should re-appear. [04:39] WACOMalt: If you need a fix asap you can use "alsamixer" in a terminal to controll volume [04:39] <[uNF]> any suggestions? [04:39] NoTownKasper- that option does not exist in 9.10 [04:39] Jordan_U: I have notification area enabled and it shows [04:39] done :) [04:39] i installed b43-fwcutte [04:39] Jordan_U: alsa mixer works, but it has no notification area icon [04:39] Xcell: I'm -using- 9.10...and had to do it yesterday to re-add my volume icon. [04:40] interesting.. ive googled it and there is nothing for that in karmic [04:40] Aruna: Ok, Did it offer to download and install the needed firmware for you? [04:40] yes done :) [04:40] Jordan_U: in startup apps, volume control applet is enabled. But it just can't connect to my sound device [04:40] Weird...cuz I'm looking at the 'add to panel' list...and 'Notification Area' is one of the possible options. :\ [04:41] Jordan_U: i have installed but how i know its installed ? [04:41] WACOMalt, did you change anything, install/remove any packages recently? [04:41] Aruna: Ok, to use wireless either reboot or run "sudo rmmod b43 && sudo modprobe b43" [04:41] can anyone tell me were i can get ios image for gns3? [04:42] ERROR: Module b43 does not exist in /proc/modules [04:42] has anyone had issues with 9.10 login. I cannot find a fix but have found a few threads that report a similar issue with it taking 5 to 10 seconds for the login screen to prompt for a password after choosing a user, also it takes that log to reject an incorrect password [04:42] philh: Nope. the audio worked on first install, after the first reboot (without even updating) the sound was dead. I got it fixed in #alsa, but the sound control icon is gone and cannot be manually launched without the same error. [04:42] log = long [04:42] Aruna: Then just "sudo modprobe b43" [04:43] WACOMalt: What was the fix? [04:43] hey folks [04:43] in hardwar i can see broadcast B43 and STA wireless driver.l.. i need to install both ? [04:43] WACOMalt: what kernel are you running atm? [04:43] Anyone know why my vBox can see my USB devices but my Ubuntu cant? [04:43] Aruna, in my experience STA driver works better [04:44] anyone here knows how can i change the GTK tooltips-delay-settings????????? [04:44] can anyone tell me were i can get ios image for gns3? [04:44] can i install both then ? [04:44] Jordan_U: the fix was adding load-module module-hal-detect or something like that to a pulse audio file. [04:44] Aruna, it wont work, you gotta pick one [04:44] plz can any one help me setup hotmail on evolution [04:44] Any ideas on resetting mouse buttons, I fux0red it up somehow. [04:44] joakim: Whatever 9.10 installs fresh. x64 [04:44] <_ULNX64_> ruge security issue under linux [04:44] WACOMalt: so it was a fresh install, not an upgrade? [04:44] _ULNX64_, like what? [04:45] joakim: 2.6.31-14-generic Yes fresh install [04:45] Aruna: No, either will work. I prefer b43 because it's open source, STA is proprietary but made by broadcom so they know their hardware better [04:45] <_ULNX64_> it can be done, but not recomended [04:45] cos 9.10 have some problems with 2.6.28 being loaded even though it should run 2.6.31 [04:45] _ULNX64_: I see, what could I do to fix? [04:45] plz can any one help me setup hotmail on evolution [04:45] anyone know how to get master mode working on a broadcom 4311(rev1) wireless adapter? [04:45] WACOMalt: okay, then its not that stupid problem.. too bad i guess, its an easy fix :) [04:45] joakim: : what I dont get is that ir worked when I first installed. and after changing NOTHING and rebooting, sound was gone (but the icon and controller were still there with dummy sound output) [04:46] <_ULNX64_> i cant remember, there website or if the offical doc, one or the other [04:46] WACOMalt: I'm having a similar problem [04:46] Nightblaze: what is your problem? [04:46] Hey all. Has anyone had success in viewing flash via FF 3.5.5 on Ubuntu 9.1 Karmic Koala? [04:47] dr3mro: if i google homail evolution, i get a nice little guide for ubuntu, first result [04:47] SeanInSeattle: yeah, theres some problem with clicking in flash though [04:47] WACOMalt: the sound work till I updated and rebooted, then hardware disappeared from the Sound Preferences, but I was able to get it back, but they still don't work [04:47] worked* [04:47] WACOMalt: that is indeed strange.. sounds more like a windows issue to me [04:48] joakim: I have seen this same issue before on the same hardware back on 9.04 I think [04:48] err... if I'm having the same problem as WACOMalt, it's not a windows issue [04:48] joakim: How did you go about getting it to work? [04:48] SeanInSeattle yeah but i did apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [04:49] So, I guess everyone gave up on me :( [04:49] Hi there! I need help in networking, I messed up my wireless [04:49] I think I am going to file a bug report [04:49] Billiard, whats google? [04:50] Nightblaze: what is your hardware? [04:50] WACOMalt: Try starting "gnome-volume-control" in a terminal and see if there are any error messages printed [04:50] Jordan_U: it gives me an error screen "waiting for sound device" tried that already [04:50] Jordan_U: same error with the applet [04:50] How do you compare two directories of files (diff) where the files might differ base on case of the filenames? [04:50] anyone can help me? [04:50] Szocool, whats going on? [04:50] WACOMalt: Nothing more output to ther terminal? [04:51] Szocool: what is your chipset?

[05:01] Jordan_U: E: module.c: Failed to open module "module-hal-detect": file not found [05:01] Maarten: I figured, but if I remember the default global hotkeys, ctrl+alt+delete is a logout. lol [05:02] Jordan_U: that could be my issue.... [05:02] Is there a way to cause compiz to zoom into a window with teh click of a mouse? [05:02] WACOMalt: Probably is, 9.10 doesn't use HAL [05:02] Jordan_U: So I head on #alsa "module-hal-detect will load module-udev-detect, so you're fine" [05:02] Jordan_U: but... Ima replace that line with the udev one instead [05:02] greezmunkey: If you bind a mouse button to one action only, it wouldn't be able to be used for anything else [05:03] Jordan_U: what file are those lines in again? [05:03] greezmunkey: Which is why there is the option of modifier+mouse click for the usual circumstance [05:03] greezmunkey: the super key (windows flag key) + scrolling should do the trick [05:03] WACOMalt: No idea, look in your logs in #alsa [05:04] Heh, I have 5 to work with! Will that be in the compiz manager, (other posts superceed??) [05:04] Checking, thanks! [05:04] ubuntu 9.04 has kdenlive 0.7.3 but ubuntu 9.10 has kdenlive 0.7.5. Why does 9.04 not also have option to upgrade to kdenlive 0.9.5 ? [05:05] Is it kdenlive specific, or 9.04 does not get most recent software? [05:05] robysath, because Ubuntu doesn't do version upgrades except @ release [05:05] With whatever AMD/ATI drivers available, binary blob or beta open source, what may perform better at displaying fullscreen H264 at 720p using vlc/mplayer/etc - Radeon HD2400XT(R600 chipset, newer) or a Radeon X700(R420, older possibly better supported with hardware acceleration?) [05:05] Madpilot: ah i see, thanks! [05:05] Jordan_U: I found the file. Now what they had me do was after the hal module load, add "tsched=0" which they said changes HOW pulse connects to my card. do you think this addition would still work for the udev module instead? [05:05] Whoa, thats wierd! I'll have to play with that to get used to it! Thanks (I think!) [05:06] robysath: Major release upgrades don't happen within a release [05:06] plz can any one help me setup hotmail on evolution [05:06] WACOMalt: no idea [05:06] dr3mro: Have you tried just doing it? It walked me through setting up my GMail quite nicely [05:06] Jordan_U: sorry, i don't understand what you said?!? :( [05:07] Jordan_U: Ok, I deleted the hal line, and added the thing to the end of the udev line, here goes nothing [05:07] wow [05:07] as soon as I saved my icon came back!

I have already selected ALSA in there, and I have sound again, but the gnome-volume-control-applet does not control the sound any more [05:22] grease: just install. sudo apt-get install, and it shouldn't ask to download anything, it'll reinstall the packages from the stored .deb files if i'm not mistaken [05:22] robin0800: it only sees dummy audio [05:22] agoole: ok .. trying [05:22] fabian: I don't really know, but you've got me experimenting now. I just noticed that catfish can use beagle, tracker, etc. as a backend. [05:23] fabian: Never tried beagle [05:23] (problem black youtube etc) am downloading gstreamer packages) [05:23] WACOMalt: do you see alsa pules audio oss etc [05:23] grease: though really I don't think any of those things should be a problem to remove [05:23] fabian sorry i wasn't looking [05:23] ok guys I fixed GNOME by deleting the GNOME-related settings in my home directory, but I really need to know what "*** Your forward and reverse DNS don't match" is. Any ideas? [05:24] agoole: yeah, so I had felt as well .... :) [05:24] robin0800: yes, and I chose ALSA. but still the notification tray volume icon is not linked to my sound output at all. [05:24] grease: can you ping anything? [05:24] WACOMalt: perhaps a reboot [05:24] robin0800: my sound works fine, and gnome-alsamixer can control it. but I need a notification icon applet (especially since that lets you use your keyboard volume buttons [05:24] fabian:everything worked in karmic except audio,for some reason my xtreme music X-FI was always full of static,distortions.in jaunty it works fine(could install creative drivers in jaunty) but out of the box audio in karmic doesn't work great(distorted) and the creative drivers won't work [05:26] SetiAmon: yeah, that's a tad weird. I must admit, I haven't used ubuntu thoroughly since Hardy, but i installed Jaunty for a couple of friends and it looked pretty good. another solution (maybe) is to just retrograde your kernel? or alsa? dunno [05:26] agoole: the install says these packages are already installed ... also I can't ping anything ... ifconfig shows only a "lo" listing [05:26] Is choppy audio in Karmic an issue for most people? Mine chops a bit, but I figured it's because of this laptop... [05:27] grease: are you using a wired connection ? for some reason you removed your adapters ? [05:27] well I am happy with jaunty(if it ain't broke,why did i try and fix it?) so i don't see what i'm loosing with reinstalling jaunty.Infact the boot time is FASTER then karmic by about 25% [05:27] can anyone tell me were i can get ios image for gns3? [05:27] grease: and also I guess you never really removed those packages in the first place...if they're still installed [05:27] Surlent777, Nightsky: thanks guys :) i'm taking a look at tracker now. [05:28] agoole: yep .. using a wired connection ... didn't deliberately remove any adpaters .. but they don't seem to be up [05:28] I still cant play a dvd (after installing all this gstreamer) Ubuntu is just as much trouble as windows. but I can make windows work. Argh. [05:28] agoole: is there a command line way to set up my network ? maybe, if I can get the network up, I can start updating all that's necessary [05:28] grease: its not just that they're not up, they're simply not there at all, if they weren't up you'd still see them in the list, except with empty info [05:28] ogen, did you install "ubuntu-restricted-extras" ? [05:29] ogen: Did you try libdvdcss and ubuntu-restricted extras? [05:29] SetiAmon: fair enough, have a go at that then :) good luck! [05:29] grease: how are you online now if its not working? laptop ? [05:29] agoole: oh .. this is bad, then [05:29] Surlent777, blank if I know what that means [05:29] ok can somebody explain to me how to get the /dev/controlC0 (and C1) to always link to /dev/snd/controlC0 [05:29] agoole: yep this is a diff machine :) [05:30] Anyone there [05:30] ogen: There should be a link you can find from google that'll walk you through this; I followed it myself...just can't remember what is was. Try searching "DVD's in Ubuntu 9.10" or something like that [05:30] Bloodyrats: Approx. 1521 people last time I checked, yeah [05:30] Anyone know any pet channels? My dog is a 6 month old wimp and I want to know if this dog will toughen up [05:31] grease: do this: lspci | grep network [05:31] Surlent777, actually I have installed thing after thing. I did all gsteamer, last. earlier TODAY. Oh yes I have followed links, eg the one for 9.10 minidell is a complete one, takes you all the way thru skype and claimes to be complete. all in terminal. (gsteamer was in add/remove) [05:31] grease: does it find anything ? [05:31] ogen: Did you find any references to "medibuntu"? [05:31] agoole: no, it doesn't [05:31] Bloodyrats: This is really not the place to ask about dog fighting [05:31] can anyone tell me were i can get ios image for gns3? or refere me to a different room that can? [05:31] Jebus... how can I get the gnome default notification icon volume controller to connect to my ALSA output rather than only looking for pulse? I HAVe working sound, but the controller doesn't see it. I have to use gnome-alsamixer which is a pain because I can't use my keyboard's volume buttons and the default controller is now a stub [05:31] Surlent777, this one http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/07/medibuntu-for-ubuntu-910-karmic-koala.html [05:32] ah [05:32] at least help me in, giving me some apps witch shows me, in what files is looking an other application [05:32] Did you run the install script it for libdvd it may have mentioned? [05:32] grease: lspci | grep -i network [05:32] Surlent777, oh yes, I did medibuntu as part of that. (I have some other HD with ubuntu and I think it got ok on some things there. but this time, arg) [05:32] grease: sry, first command was case sensitive, i should of said Network, instead of network [05:33] look at that page and it will show you, SVP [05:33] ogen: Those are my usual tricks...I'm not sure what to say. =/ If it's affecting both flash AND DVD's, that's probably pretty bad =( [05:34] I don't get it, what is the purpose of this irc ... it's useless (for me) [05:34] grease: anything ? [05:34] agoole: "lspci | grep -i Network" doesn't give anything [05:34] Szocool, yea, it can get discouraging at times [05:34] "Are ya gonna pull those pistols or whistle dixie?" [05:34] grease: ok, now, type: dmesg, and look for your ethernet adapter, see if its listed [05:35] Szocool: people try to help each other [05:35] can somebody explain to me how to get the /dev/controlC0 (and C1) to always link to /dev/snd/controlC0 === PhantomLink is now known as cendamons [05:35] agoole: ok ... trying === cendamons is now known as PhantomLink [05:35] I like Linux, I will never use an other system, but the newbies see, this they loose very fast interest [05:35] Hey all. Any suggestions why removing any software via the ubuntu software center gives me this error with the flash plugin installer: http://pastie.org/688595 [05:35] Surlent777, this is what I did (next line) [05:35] Medibuntu for Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala -- To add the Medibuntu Repository: -- To add the Medibuntu keyring: -- Download the encrypted DVD playback codecs -- Download the Window codecs -- sudo apt-get install skype [05:36] but this is my opinion, have a nice day, bye!

[05:36] How can I enable Compiz [05:36] ogen: For DVD's you need to run some sort of .sh script from the libdvdcss directory [05:36] ice_cream: Research it via google including the keyword "xsplash"; that should help [05:36] does esound play nice with 9.10? [05:36] Surlent777, please look at that page to see the commands I ran [05:36] It's rather complex though [05:37] ogen: I did [05:37] ogen: I don't see the one I'm thinking of mentioned [05:37] grease: going to brush my teeth, brb in 10min [05:37] Arsin: Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects <- set to Extra [05:37] I have no idea how the sentence you told me about some directory works. This is not a workable system I see for a user not a "developer' [05:38] soreau I've done that, no result [05:38] I've spent a coulple of hours on this just today [05:38] SeanInSeattle: `sudo mkdir /var/cache/flashplugin-installer` and try again.

I was able to enable it by unselecting it from ĀØkey to choose 3rd levelĀØ but now I cant, my keyboard is acting strange [05:38] OK thanks alot [05:38] anyway. [05:38] when you get the system going right let me know. [05:39] ogen: What you're doing is something that isn't supposed to be done by an end user due to potential legal issues; it only makes sense that one use a bit of a backdoor [05:39] Arsin: What happened exactly when you did that?

And in fact the volume controller, and many other features (start up sound etc) ONLY support pulseaudio. So what am I to do if pulse audio doesn't support my audio chipset?

[05:41] Surlent777, thanks, karmic is acting really weird, looks like a developer is insisting on disabling the right ALT key so we can no longer close, minimize using right ALT [05:41] How to just clean the queue of failed / retry attempts? [05:42] WACOMalt: Hack: Try chmod -x /etc/init.d/pulseaudio and reboot [05:42] mMezquitale: strange, it works on my setup [05:42] soreau: what does that do first? === Genije is now known as Miki [05:43] SeanInSeattle: Something on your system that should be managed by the packaging system was deleted, moved, or changed. [05:43] WACOMalt, makes pulseaudio executable [05:43] Surlent777, youre going to get an update pretty soon if youre using karmic, right ALT will be disabled, I had to set my keyboard to generic then set it to the way it was configured (dell laptop), then enabled right ALT, its working fine now, thanks [05:43] soreau: oh... well technically it is running right now [05:43] dajorn: How to tell the pkg mgmt system not to try and manage it? [05:43] soreau: it just doesnt see my card... at all === gm_ is now known as gm [05:43] WACOMalt: It makes that file no longer executable which means pulseaudio wont start at all when you boot. You can reverse it by running the same command with +x [05:44] SeanInSeattle: Try `sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-installer`. If that doesn't work, then `sudo dpkg --purge --force-all flashplugin-installer`. [05:44] oops! my bad! [05:44] SeanInSeattle: You don't. Put those things in /usr/local and never touch anything that is managed by apt or dpkg. [05:44] soreau: oh well when I screwed up pulse before to where it wouldn't start, I had sound perfectly, but still no volume controller in the notification area (and no keyboard volume button support) [05:44] grease: any luck ? [05:45] agoole: dmesg retuned a whole lot of lines .. lookign through them .. any pointers on what the ethernet adapter entries will look like ? [05:45] WACOMalt: Is that where you are currently? [05:45] Anyone knows how to solve the madwifi drivers suspend issue [05:45] grease: it will have your make and model hopefully, do you know what kind of ethernet adapter you have ? [05:45] soreau: no, I fixed the config file, so not pulse is running, I have the controls, but they arent linked to my sound. I set the actual sound to ALSA though gstreamer-properties. So I have sound and a controller, but the controler is not linked, and is controlling dummy audio [05:46] *now [05:46] agoole: not really .. am at a client premise where I installed ubuntu on one of the servers they lent us [05:46] WACOMalt: Well I don't understand what is going on then.

I have sound yes. and a controller yes... but the controller doesn't support ALSA outputs.. this no sound control from it. I can run gnome-alsamixer manually and get an alsa mixer, but that is stupid... I shouldnt have to.

[05:48] grease: uh oh, looks like you either have no network interface, or that its simply not being reconized [05:49] SeanInSeattle: it depends what you're wanting to do. do you want another(virtual) machine, or do you want to run 32-bit applications from within the 64-bit system?

[05:49] i think there is a major problem with alsa in this push [05:49] no problem [05:49] vox: what? you don't need a chroot to install 32 bit on 64 bit hardware, in fact most computers are not only capable of 64 bit OSes but are sold with 32 bit ones [05:49] sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.184/backup /media/backup -o username=dno,rw,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000,gid=1000 [05:50] agoole: its wierd ... I'm pretty sure that I had the network on yesterday (when the problem first occured) ... would u suggest a complete reinstall ? .... its a pain (I'd have to backup tonnes of data) ... and now I'm not even sure if a complete reinstall will fix the problem ... [05:50] lo [05:50] SeanInSeattle: thats completely different :) just download the 32bit iso and install that [05:50] grease: no, wait a bit, lets take a deeper look [05:50] agoole: ok [05:50] vox: thanks man. I'll do that. [05:50] :) [05:50] soreau: Can you help? [05:50] grease: run: nano /etc/network/interfaces [05:50] dno: What gives you that message?

[05:51] ice_cream: It's not broken, but the rest of GNOME seems to be on my system >:( [05:51] I'll brb restarting.. god pulse audio needs to be fixed. I am convinced it's a bug in the package, not my system. many people have this issue. [05:51] grease: what does that file contain ?

[05:52] but i feel that gdm depends heavily on some gnome apps, like gnome-control-center [05:52] ice_cream: and it just goes downhill from there [05:52] Soreau: Here is the command: sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.168/backup /media/backup -o username=dno,rw,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000,gid=1000 [05:52] ice_cream: I think I'll just go LXDE or KDE for now...I give up. I still don't know what Your forward and reverse DNS don't match means either [05:52] Surlent777, i wouldnt even be dealing with gdm if slim wasnt taken out [05:52] soreau: Any thoughts?

[05:58] hi all, I am having issues with my update manager [05:58] I'm getting a few errors. [05:58] WACOMalt: I suspect the chmod command I gave would have done something very similar [05:58] soreau: I tried it actually [05:58] pastebinning the error showed http://pastebin.com/f665bd1be [05:58] Does anyone think the following sentence is awkward: "I'm going to go to sleep, are you also going to take a nap?" i.e. that sleep and nap are not exactly the same thing. [05:58] <[V]ortex`> defacto, thanks [05:58] soreau: Installed, Now it says Connection reset by peer. Any more thoughts? [05:58] soreau: his command basically disabled udev and made it use regular hardware detection. Pulseaudio IS working and seeing myc ard and controllable [05:58] nap kinda implies short term though :P [05:59] soreau, the real problem is that pulse is not picking up either the alsa cards or anything from udev [05:59] WACOMalt: oh cool [05:59] does anybody know what's wrong with 9.10 Alternate CD ? I've burned 2 CD's, md5sums were fine but somewhere in the middle of installation process, I receive a CD replacement error and can't proceed. [05:59] can somebody explain to me how to get the /dev/controlC0 (and C1) to always link to /dev/snd/controlC0 [05:59] soreau: so it bypassed a bug in udev. Where can I report bugs in udev? [05:59] defacto: Check the dmesg for read errors on the target computer. [05:59] dno: Sounds like the system you're trying to connect to isn't configured for ssh [05:59] marioatlp: I wish I could help you out like you did me. thanks so much!

[06:00] agoole greezmunkey now I see a eth0 entry in ifconfig [06:00] WACOMalt: It's an acronym. Figure it out ;) [06:00] <[V]ortex`> how do i install dock under gnome do preferences? [06:00] greese, that's a start! [06:00] greese, type ip route, see what you get... [06:01] soreau: Well, I used all the same settings in 8.04. and it worked. Now it is like I get to the nas type in the password and it denies me permission. [06:01] greezmunkey: ip route returns nothing [06:01] greese, let's work on the stack then...ping lo [06:01] hey all, if i just go open another channel and someone does the same can we chat or do i have to register the room somewhere? [06:02] dajhorn: the problem isn't in the CD - I had 5 CD's .. As I said, I've downloaded/burned twice with the same result ( Input/Output error, as tty3 says ) while other CD's work just fine ( including Minimal and Desktop ). [06:02] greezmunkey: btw, The network I use requires a ip/gateway setup (which I used to do via the windowed interface) [06:02] let me see if I can summarize better .. I reinstalled WinXP cuz it was spyware infested, now it only shows my WinXP partitions in the boot loader and not my Ubuntu partition - I cannot load it though I have not changed it.. do I have to reformat my Ubuntu partition and reinstall for like the 3rd time or is there another way to get a loader on there or have my Ubuntu CD create a change for me? [06:02] greese, ok are you using static addresses? [06:02] defacto: Same advice. Check the dmesg for drive errors. === jony123_busy is now known as jony123 === fiberfolly__ is now known as fiberfolly [06:02] dno: Sounds like a configuration issue. Can you ssh into the other box from there and vice versa? [06:02] greezmunkey: ping lo says "unknown host lo" .. yes, I have a static ip assigned to this machine [06:03] greese, ping localhost [06:03] dajhorn: I'm not going to do it again ( why would I ? ) - was curious if anybody else have the same problem .. [06:03] greezmunkey: static (local) ip [06:03] defacto: The ISOs are not bad. [06:04] greese, try this...sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [06:04] soreau: I can still get in from my 8.04 and winbloze boxes. [06:04] greezmunkey: looks like apache is running there .. I get 64 bytes from test_django_app (127.0.0.1)... [06:04] dno: idk then [06:04] greezmunkey: should I shutdown my apache ? [06:04] dajhorn: i don't think so anymore .. anyway, thnx for your input. will see how it'll turn out on my friends pc. [06:04] greese, then check ifconfig to see if your static address is assigned (localhost response is good)(no) [06:04] soreau: Thanks for trying! [06:05] I have a Western Digital 160G usb hard drive that has continual problems with mounting on Ubuntu9.10 ...very temperamental! I finally got an error message that says: Unable to mount, exit code 13 NTFS_attr_pread ...failed to read first NTFS_BLOCK_SIZE bytes of potential restart page. ...and then goes on about suggesting doing chkdsk /f with winxp. Can anyone help with this? [06:06] <[V]ortex`> how do i install dock under gnome do preferences? [06:06] whenever i close pidgin it does not leave an icon to show its runing, but it is still runing since it shows me when others log on, how do i fix this? [06:06] greezmunkey: restarting network still doesn't show any ip on eth0 [06:06] greese, edit /etc/network/interfaces, add address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(return)netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(return)gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx [06:06] Can anyone help me set up Squid Proxy Server? [06:06] I'm getting a few errors. [06:06] greezmunkey: ok .. trying [06:06] greese, then sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart and report back [06:06] UBlondie: Did you do the chkdsk? [06:07] anybody know of a way of customizing the Ubuntu 9.10 gdm? [06:07] greese, add thoes lines under the entry for your wired interface [06:07] dajhorn, ..well, not this time (yet), but I have done it plenty of times and I continue to have problems with it. The same was happening on 9.04 ..it's bugging the hell out of me! [06:07] iface eth0 inet static [06:07] How do I install grub onto my main HD? [06:07] address xxx.xxx [06:07] and so on... [06:08] CITguy_Artemis, i'd like to know that too [06:08] greezmunkey: ok [06:08] gdm disgusts me [06:08] blindside_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [06:08] *its current theme [06:08] i think that will help you/ [06:08] UBlondie: You've got filesystem corruption. Do the chkdsk, and then mount the USB drive with the sync option. [06:08] kevinl, doesn't seem like it [06:09] dajhorn, could you explain the sync option to me please? ...or point me to where I can find out? I haven't heard of that before [06:09] UBlondie: After that, always unmount the USB drive through the right-click menu. [06:09] it's not so much that I don't like the new GDM I just want to play around with tweaking the theme [06:09] hi, i use a Lenovo R61 with Atheros AR5212, after upgrading to 9.10, my wifi doesn't function anymore and i can't seem to find ath_pci module.

[06:10] Ok, so i have 2 drives. 100GB sata (/) and a 320GB IDE. GRUB is installed onto the IDE drive, but I want it on the SATA drive, because I want to get rid of IDE [06:10] UBlondie: It is an option that you can put in the /etc/fstab and is documented by `man mount`. I don't remember where to put it for removable media. [06:10] hi guys im using VMWare with ubuntu. i just installed KDE and now when ubuntu loads it doesn't auto-size the window so its Full Screen. its sorta chopped in the center. How do i fix this? [06:10] i get this error whenever i try to open a guest environment [06:10] .. http://mudit.s3.amazonaws.com/test/vbox_error.png [06:11] http://mudit.s3.amazonaws.com/test/vbox_error.png [06:11] greese, any luck? [06:11] (guess it's a restricted driver issue, searching) [06:11] I've just upgraded to 9.10 and can't boot anymore.... [06:11] ash_: Have you installed vmware-tools? [06:11] dajhorn, ok, that's completely foreign to me, but I'll have a look. When you say to mount with right click menu. Where from? ...usually, if the drive won't be mounted, it doesn't show up anywhere. Not even with 'blkid' from Terminal. [06:11] Jordan_U, on ubuntu? [06:11] ash_: Yes, if Ubuntu is the guest [06:12] I am on 8.04 and want to update python to 2.6 [06:12] how ? [06:12] ash_: VMware 6 is flakey on Karmic. Use VMware 7 if you aren't already. [06:12] greezmunkey: should I add my dns server address to it as well .. Currently, I added---> auto eth0; iface eth0 inet static; address 192.168.10.12; netmask 255.255.255.0; gateway 192.168.11.185 (semicolons are new lines) [06:12] hi i cant get apache2 to display images when i load my site.. what am i doing wrong... [06:12] i enabled octet-stream [06:12] <[V]ortex`> how do i install docky under gnome do preferences? [06:12] also when i try to upgrade vbox, i get this conflict >> http://mudit.s3.amazonaws.com/test/Screenshot-gdebi-gtk.png [06:12] greezmunkey: an extra line saying "dns: 192.168.11.224" ? [06:13] [V]ortex`, stop by #gnome-do [06:13] UBlondie: The removable disk should appear in the left-side pane of the Nautilus fie manager, and on your desktop. Right click the drive from either of those places. [06:13] greese, /etc/(something)/resolve.conf hang a minute... [06:13] can't boot after upgrade to 9.10. what do I do? [06:13] greese, type locate resolve.conf [06:13] greezmunkey: it should be in /etc/resolv.conf [06:14] he caught me off guard, I was away! [06:14] In Ubuntu 9.04 desktop on the GDM initial login screen there is/was a button which allowed the user to set the language/locale for their next session. In Ubuntu 9.10 I am not seeing that button. What is the Ubuntu 9.10 way to set language/locale at login time? [06:14] <[V]ortex`> DBO thanks [06:14] now I have to try... [06:14] i can't even find the Synaptic Package Manager on KDE [06:14] jmarsden: the buttons don't show until a user is selected in the list [06:14] UBlondie: The right-click context menu should have a umount or eject option. Doing this before you pull the USB connection prevents filesystem glitches. [06:14] jmarsden: You won't see the option until you select / enter a user [06:14] hey.. can anyone recommend a good CD+G disc player? [06:14] ahh... modprobe ath5k brought things back! [06:15] greezmunkey: its in my /etc/resolv.conf .. .says "domain (something); search (sometihng); nameserver (something)" [06:15] you are correct sir! [06:15] dajhorn, yes, it does when it's recognised,. but when it 'un-mounts' it also disappears from desktop and from nautilus!! [06:15] and please don't say PyKaraoke... I can't get it to read the CD [06:15] UBlondie: And when that happens, the disk is safe to unplug. [06:15] do I have to restart my network after I changed /etc/network/interfaces ? [06:15] greezmunkey: do I have to restart my network after I changed /etc/network/interfaces ? [06:15] CITguy_Artemis and Jordan_U: aha, thanks. [06:15] i can't even find the Synaptic Package Manager on KDE [06:15] Add your name server in the appropriate place, unless there is already an entry... [06:15] If there is ping google.com, or nslookup google.com [06:15] dajhorn, yes, but if the drive isn't visible, then you can't use right-click menu. That's the problem I'm having. The system doesn't even 'see' the drive! [06:16] jmarsden: no problem [06:16] Need help: Can't boot after upgrade to 9.10 [06:16] UBlondie: Don't ignore error messages and follow my advice. Go run the chkdsk command. [06:16] JakobLaursen: What happens when you try to boot? [06:16] You don't have permission to access /image/penguin.gif on this server. [06:16] greese, yes, /etc/init.d/networking restart as sudo [06:16] why is apache2 saying that [06:16] UBlondie: The filesytem is borked. It won't appear again until you fix it according to the error message. [06:16] dajhorn, haha, yes! :) ...I will do it, yet again!! ...aaahhhhh :/ [06:16] ash_, : synaptic isn't installed by default under kubuntu [06:17] borked...you gotta love it ;( [06:17] hi [06:17] Jordan_U: It just stops after the menu - recovery mode can't boot either [06:17] smackd: for any file access with apache servers, the entire path leading up to the target must have the correct permissions to access the files [06:17] does any one know a method to use ubu dsl in ubuntu [06:17] does any one know a method to use ubu dsl in ubuntu [06:18] greezmunkey: it says SIOCADDRT No such process .. failed to bring up eth0 [06:18] does any one know a method to use ubu dsl in ubuntu [06:18] does any one know a method to use ubu dsl in ubuntu [06:18] does any one know a method to use ubu dsl in ubuntu [06:18] does any one know a method to use ubu dsl in ubuntu [06:18] asr7: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:18] dajhorn, ..it usually works for at least a few minutes again after I do chkdsk ....but problem returns very quickly again. Drive still works ok on Windows! :/ [06:18] greese, try ifconfig... [06:18] ifconfig has however assigned the m/c an ip .. and I can ping other ips on the network .. but not google.com [06:19] i heard somewhere that lucid is also gonna ship a video editing tool. is it true [06:19] greese, pastebin resolv.conf [06:19] greezmunkey: ifconfig has however assigned the m/c an ip .. and I can ping other ips on the network .. but not google.com [06:19] smackd: in your case, you will want the path to be readable by anybody [06:19] hi i would like to downgrade xorg, using 9.04, want to downgrade to xorg 7.2 [06:19] grease: Is your default gateway set correctly? Can you ping it? [06:19] UBlondie: If the disk disconnects or disappears when you're using it on the Ubuntu computer, then you've got a second problem. You'll need to watch the /var/log/messages file for more information. [06:19] !lucid [06:19] Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l02bhwofEqw for announcement video. [06:19] bastard: Why? [06:19] UBlondie: If the USB drive has a power plug, then use it and the problem may stop happening. [06:20] Jordan_U: why does that matter? [06:20] i am using a program in ubuntu when occasionally i need to be able to hold alt while left clicking, something in gnome/ubuntu is seeming to not pass that onto the program, where would i look to disable it so i can use alt-leftclick in a program? [06:20] greese, what does ip route tell you? [06:20] dajhorn, aaahh, actually, someone did suggest using the double usb connector!! ...I forgot about that. Still need to try that one!

[06:22] om26erislame: The open source drivers don't work with your card? [06:22] greese, no route to 0.0.0.0/0 ? [06:22] alca7raz: ah ok, thanks [06:22] greezmunkey: don't see anything like that [06:22] Jordan_U: no compiz, screen flicker..fixed the flicker, then no video playback...don't really care for compiz, but some programs that need compositing do [06:22] greese, mine has this line default via 192.168.0.1 dev ra0 [06:22] upgraded a working 9. ubuntu on wbi to 9.10, now getting video mode not supported dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't seem to work any ideas?

[06:28] greese, nomenclature, but the same thing...you need to change your IP to be in the same network as your gateway!

This only started happening today [06:28] trisha: sathiya this is not yahoo chat [06:28] dajhorn , Jordan_U : uninstalling virtualbox-2.0 will also remove my installed guest environments ? [06:29] hello how old r u? [06:29] krackpot: If I'm not mistaken, that's a sign of kernel panic. [06:29] greese, nameserver will do you no good until you accomplish my last post first! [06:29] mudittuli: No. [06:29] okies, thanks [06:29] oh my god [06:29] krackpot: Run the memtest utility from the grub menu. [06:29] greese, change X.X.10.X to X.X.11.X [06:29] Omlette: should I be worried? Is there something the system generates to tell me what exactly panicked?

The next thing to check is your video card. [06:31] Yeah. [06:31] Apparently, the "fglrx" drivers can cause kernel panics. [06:32] grease: if you did upgrade and now if you can make a clean install that will fix it. [06:32] video drivers are pretty much the crutch of all OS's.. [06:32] dajhorn: Ok, I'll take a peak. This has happened 4-5 times today. But only today. Clean install of 9.10 x64 [06:32] Only today? Interesting. [06:32] mudittuli: I think that you need to export the VM. VirtualBox is somewhat stupid about its disk registry that way. [06:32] greezmunkey: changing xx.10. to xx.11. and restarting network seems to have worked ... resytart eth0 worked !

[06:41] so i can talk to my peeps [06:41] greese, after the xinit command, and when you ctrl+f9'd was there an xwindow present? [06:42] marco: dunno my unit is so old is uses a minijack and that works [06:42] dam [06:42] greezmunkey: it says ... No such file or direcotry (error2) no server "X" in path [06:42] if i can just get my built in mic working [06:42] greezmunkey: CNTRL f9 DOES NOT DO ANYTHING EITHER [06:42] how to I run openvpn with nameserver support [06:43] Karmic brought an unberably fugly Gnome login screen, and took away "Login Window Preferences" panel. How do I get rid of that terrible login screen? [06:43] greezmunkey: (sorry abt the caps) [06:43] This no longer applies: http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/05/21/how-to-change-the-ubuntu-login-screen/ [06:44] anyone have problems with pulseaudio? [06:44] Marco: you may want to check the switches and mute setting in pulse audio.. ubuntu automatically mutes and disables all inputs on my machine by default [06:44] greese, it would'nt in that case. I'm not going to be much more help to you greese, as I would have to do some serious reading and catching up first. Maybe someone else here can. At least your'e on line [06:44] how can i find how much memory my video card has? [06:44] man, this getting media is messed up. I decided to only read ubuntu forums posts in the last year. I am trying vlc now. [06:44] ok [06:44] uhh [06:44] greezmunkey: np .. thanks for all the help so far ! [06:44] whatsnand pulse audio [06:44] brando753: you have been told alredy [06:45] how can I get terminal to have a bigger buffer and save more lines. I went to look back and get that kill command for firefix, was it rkill or pkill ??? and the buffer did not go back that far. === Ripp_ is now known as Tommi [06:45] greese, maybe you can apt-get ...reinstall X or something at least! [06:46] go to sound prefs by right clicking the sound manager applet and check the settings in there first [06:48] hi, how do i execute the perl files in the browser?the browser is treating it as a file and offers me to download it... [06:48] arvind_khadri: perl files are not meant to be run in a browser. they are meant to be run via command line [06:49] anyone else have problems with pulseaudio taking up waaay too much cpu and mem? [06:49] I think he's talking about running servlets [06:49] Karmic brought an unberably fugly Gnome login screen, and took away "Login Window Preferences" panel. How do I get rid of that terrible login screen? [06:49] foul_owl: not really...how many applications are running that use sound? [06:49] xzcvczx: it didnt mention memory size anywhere [06:49] CITguy_Artemis, actually a html file here uses a perl scrip, so when i hit submit it asks me to download the script... [06:50] brando753: well what sort of card is it? [06:50] CITguy_Artemis: Lots. But they come and go. gmplayer, youtube, hydrogen, banshee [06:50] ekontsevoy: if you upgraded from 9.04 then I can tell you I had to delete my setting files for my account to get the menus to come back === terryd_ is now known as pyRunner [06:50] I leave my system running for a few days, then I notice slowdowns. I run top, and am surprised to see pulseaudio as hogging all the mem and cycles [06:50] has anyone experienced "popping" or crackling with pulseaudio in 9.10? [06:51] xzcvczx: intel [06:51] then i am forced to killall -9 pulseaudio :( [06:51] brando753: then it shares your system memory [06:51] TylerNT: no, mine is a fresh install and I cannot stand the login screen: it wastes a lot of time on useless animation and looks terrible in my opinion [06:51] foul_owl: which ubuntu version are you using? [06:51] vivid: Yes, I had it with my hda sound card in a laptop computer. One of the fixes was to disable power management on the sound card. [06:52] dajhorn, do you remember how you did that? i have one of those intel hd things too i think [06:52] hola? hello? [06:52] !hello [06:52] 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! [06:52] how can i join to spanish room? [06:52] CITguy_Artemis, what do i do? [06:52] CITguy_Artemis: Jaunty [06:52] and you can't view admin->login ? [06:53] messiah: try like #ubuntu-es [06:53] thx [06:53] vivid: let me go look for it. [06:53] #ubuntu-es [06:53] join #ubuntu-es [06:53] arvind_khadri: are you running the html locally on your machine or is it on an external site? [06:54] like #ubuntu-es [06:54] omg, it doesn't work [06:54] messiah: type in /join #ubuntu-es [06:54] lol, sorry [06:54] foul_owl: I'm thinking it may be a bug in Jaunty. I'm not sure how to look that up. [06:54] ĪŗĪ±Ī»Ī·Ī¼Ī­ĻĪ±-ĪŗĪ±Ī»Ī·Ī¼Ī­ĻĪ±! [06:54] CITguy_Artemis, everything is local, i have the html and the perl script too [06:54] ĪĻĻĪ¼ĪæĻ‚ ĪŗĪ±Ī¹ ĪŗĪæĻĪ¼Ī¬ĪŗĪ·Ļ‚, Ī²Ī»Ī­Ļ€Ļ‰!! [06:54] CITguy_Artemis: perhaps I should upgrade to karmic? [06:54] you need servers to run those host those files [06:55] like apache and wambat [06:55] foul_owl: if you have the time and the patience, I would recommend it. [06:55] TylerNT, i have apache running [06:55] dam [06:55] why does ubuntu take so long to go from gdm to running my .xession file? [06:55] this is difficult [06:55] arvind_khadri: what exactly is the html page supposed to do? [06:55] then you need the server hooks for perl [06:56] why does ubuntu take so long to go from gdm to running my .xession file? i have a test where all it does is load up xterm; and it takes forevber on ubuntu 9.10; whereas it was blazing fast on ubuntu 9.04 [06:56] now [06:56] CITguy_Artemis: Thanks for the advice. I will try it. Cheers! [06:56] vivid: You can get more detail from this bug and its duplicates: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/381201 [06:56] is it just me or is grub2 overcomplicated compared to grub? [06:56] vivid: Add your "meetoo" if you have a Launchpad account. [06:56] i miss the menu.lst [06:57] josh_, i second the motion. grub2, while superior from a technical standpoint, does take some getting used to [06:57] vivid: The solution is to put "options snd-hda-intel power_save=0" in the /etc/modules.d for your system. The particular file could vary depending on your system and hardware. [06:57] i have tryed ubuntu and kubuntu; now i have just installed xubuntu, and i can't find my ntfs's partitions... why? :( [06:57] dajhorn, yes i have one, but im not in a saturday night state of mind for posting :o [06:58] josh_: well, grub2 does more than the last version did. One feature in particular that stuck out was the ability to have grub2 run an ISO that is contained on the local hard drive as if it were burned on a cd. So with additional features, it's expected to have more complicated processes. [06:58] CITguy_Artemis, TylerNT found it thanks, need to specify the mime types, FF sees it just as a file so a ~/mime.type must be created and an entry for perl must be made [06:58] hello, i have a fresh install and when i go to install nvidia restricted drivers im getting a message: installArchives() failed [06:58] im not sure but xubuntu might need ntfs3g installed [06:58] arvind_khadri: oh, ok. I'll have to keep that in my FYI file. [06:58] can someone plx help me install a different vnc server for display 0 than the standard one in ubuntu 9.10 because it really sucks. [06:59] CITguy_Artemis, or else you can even edit /etc/mime.types , let me finish and see which file works [06:59] arvind: well that's one way to do it.. you can also setup apache to run those files itself and block them from people trying to wget them. [06:59] dajhorn, thank you for that info [06:59] <[V]ortex`> did they finally fix the flash issue? [07:01] [V]ortex`: to what flash issue are you referring? [07:01] hi. i'm running an official karmic image under ec2 (karmic-uec-i386-kernel 05-Nov-2009 01:40) [07:02] <[V]ortex`> CITguy_Artemis, not being able to play flash in youtube, cannot fullscreen, cannot jump to specific times [07:02] having trouble mounting an ext4 device [07:02] mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdf [07:02] mount /dev/sdf /blah [07:02] mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4' [07:02] vortex: what's it doing? [07:03] not sure why it can format as ext4 ok, but fails to mount [07:03] <[V]ortex`> TylerNT, it looks fixed, but i was having trouble with it say a week back; i was told it was a general issue [07:03] [V]ortex`: what's the ubuntu version you are using and the browser and it's version? [07:03] <[V]ortex`> 9.10 [07:03] I think your talking about the same issue I'm having with compiz and flash [07:03] <[V]ortex`> chrome and firefox latest didn't work then... but i have no issues now... just asking [07:04] you should be able to hold your right mouse button and then click on stuff in the flash frame [07:04] <[V]ortex`> TylerNT, is your issue resolved? [07:04] [V]ortex`: I'm not sure. The only problem I've been having with flash is flickering in Firefox. === fooj_ is now known as fooj [07:05] hi all!! [07:05] The only time I notice it is when I'm viewing a video on Youtube. [07:05] I've got a q: Is it true that Ubuntu [07:05] with all of the work on gnome 3 I don't think anyone really cares about compiz right now [07:05] !hi | hoo-hah [07:05] hoo-hah: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [07:05] <[V]ortex`> CITguy_Artemis, ok thanks... i think they resolved it with the latest updates [07:05] sucks balls? [07:05] <[V]ortex`> CITguy_Artemis, i don't have issues with flickering tho [07:05] <[V]ortex`> TylerNT, install the latest updates... they worked for me [07:06] <[V]ortex`> at least so far [07:06] I did install them.. but I haven't checked flash yet [07:06] the only other problem I've had is with flash in Chrome not registering mouse wheel actions, but it's no biggie [07:06] <[V]ortex`> not sure about chrome tho, since it's still in alpha [07:07] nah the updates did nothing [07:07] TylerNT: You're wrong [07:07] I apologize for those I've already asked, but does anybody know how to do any customization to the new gdm in Karmic? [07:07] Masses care about compiz [07:07] nothing can compare [07:07] hello; i can't find my other NTFS partitions, i have just installed xubuntu and ntfs-3g [07:08] CITguy_Artemis: I dont believe it is possible, or at least with the toold included in karmic [07:08] *tools [07:08] maybe... but it doesn't really seem like it [07:08] messiah: can you at least see the partitions in a partition editor? [07:09] messiah: Can you run "sudo fdisk -l" and post the output to paste.ubuntu.com [07:09] can someone plx help me install a vnc server for display 0? [07:10] <[V]ortex`> is there a way to auto mount windows drives at login? [07:10] yep [07:10] talsemgeest, when i run that it shows me the 2 HD i have.... but i can't see them in my browser :(Ƨ [07:10] Vortex man mount [07:10] [V]ortex`: Yes, using the fstab files. One sec, Ill grab you a link [07:11] Vortex also man fstab [07:11] hey is there an easy app in the repos to make a video file from an audio file and a static image?

[07:14] When installing from source [07:14] talsemgeest, did it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/313049/ [07:15] [V]ortex`: Basically, you need to add another line to the file /etc/fstab. Open it with "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab", then look here for how to make the line: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html [07:15] !logs > pronoy [07:15] pronoy, please see my private message [07:15] grease symantic and apt-get both allow you reinstall a package [07:15] RPG_Master, Well, paste the the output of the error to paste.ubuntu.com and two why are you compiling the source to begin with?

[07:32] AnirbanHazra: one way is to add the commandd to /etc/rc.local [07:32] whos good with audio [07:32] JGodbout- google it [07:32] messiah: Well, Im afraid I really dont know what you have done with partitioning. It all looks fine to me [07:32] !grub2 | txwizard1 [07:32] But then, I can't ever upgrade again... [07:32] txwizard1: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [07:32] messiah: Does it show right in the partition editor? [07:32] is there any softwrae which improves the image brightness for webcam??? cheese is only effects [07:32] JGodbout: try 'winff' [07:32] Dr_Willis: Thanks [07:33] talsemgeest, which is the partition editor? in terminal? do i have to do the same commands you told me with sda2 or sda5??? === matthew is now known as Guest91270 [07:33] Guest5580: I tried using The Google, but it returned no good results [07:33] Dr.Willis - is there any software which manages webcam software which has something like night mode [07:33] messiah: No, it should be in System>Administration. If not, you can install it with the software installer [07:33] JGodbout trust me..there is a decent software [07:33] hey? [07:34] can some one help me with my mic [07:34] I'm looking [07:34] any webcam ??? [07:34] Is anyone still getting the I/O loop0 error on shutdown/restart with Ubu 9.1? [07:34] THAST IT.IM GION TO THE FORUMS..TOO MANY N00BS HERE [07:34] is there any way to solve it? [07:34] Guest5580, you can do all sorts of tuning if you know how to edit a gstreamer pipeline [07:35] okay..cool dranconis..thanks [07:35] Guest5580 - Pot. Kettle. [07:35] will try it [07:35] talsemgeest, it seems i don't have it; i will install it now... anyway... this is a very old computer... aopen ak72, k7-700, 256+128, fx5200, i want to use it basically for downloads... i am doing right installing xubuntu in case than other distro or windows? lol [07:35] Guest5580: Please dont forget that we are volunteers, as are the forums. Be nice to us and we will be nice to you [07:35] Hi, I'm having some serious problems booting into the live CD. I select English Language and boot it from the menu then it loads a buch of stuff and the screen will start blinking and it dumps me at the command prompt (ubuntu@ubuntu:#) with it still flashing. What's the problem? [07:35] is there a way I can force "apt-get reinstall" to download packages freshly ... I've changed some sources and would like to reinstall from a fresh downloaded package [07:36] grease: delete /var/apt/cache [07:36] grease: apt-get clean [07:36] i have installed ubuntu on my lenovo 3000 g430 laptop. [07:36] messiah: I think xubuntu is a good choice, it is lighter than most distros and should be good for an old computer [07:36] Hello everyone. I have a startup script that I'd like to create a desktop shortcut so that the script exectutes. Here's the full command: "./home/administrator/Desktop/tss2_rc2/teamspeak2-server_startscript start" Is there a way to do this? [07:36] SwedeMike, you dont want to delete the whole directory like that... can lead to some nasties [07:37] talsemgeest, it seems to be a bit slowly right now... maybe too old computer? or maybe because i didn't reboot it? [07:37] syn-ack: well, I meant the contents, I see how my advice could have been mistaken as a suggestion to delete the dir. [07:37] heh [07:37] Fishscene: make a script that contains that command - then chmod +x it. thn make a launcher that runs the script is a easy way [07:37] Fishscene: or just make a launcher that does the full command. [07:37] messiah: If xubuntu is too slow, there are even lighter distros out there. But hopefully it isnt too slow to use? [07:37] TylerNT: so "apt-get clean package-name", followed by "apt-get install package-name" ? [07:38] grease, that wont work [07:38] Fishscene: and the . at the start is proberly not needed in the path [07:38] grease: open terminal, then cd /var/cache/apt/archives, then sudo rm *deb, or if you prefer doig it the gui way, then open use gksu nautilus in terminal to open your file browser w/ root priveliges, put /var/cache/apt/archives in the address bar, hit enter, and then, once in that directory, delete any package with a deb extnsion [07:38] can some one help me with my mic [07:38] I've created 3 different launchers and none of them execute the script correctly [07:38] NEED HELP: I can't upgrade to 9.10 ā€“ the computer won't boot afterwards. What do I do? Stay with 9.04? [07:38] just this greese "apt-get clean" [07:38] marco - just state the issue, if someone knows a solution they will help. [07:38] ok [07:39] yah just clean it will clean all cache for installation archives [07:39] Fishscene, have you tired to add open quotes to the path [07:39] ? [07:39] JakobLaursen: try a clean install of 9.10 is another option. [07:39] JakobLaursen: Quite often a clean install will give you better results than an upgrade [07:39] open quotes? [07:39] talsemgeest, not too slow, but it is a little bit for my thinking... maybe there is something wrong in this computer... some months ago, when i was using it... i used it with xp sp2 and it went fine... then i format all and installed xp sp3 uE and it becomes slow.... [07:39] Hi folks, what is iBus? ;o [07:39] ` ` [07:39] I'm having a problem with what I think is video lag while playing a game I recently installed via Wine. The funny part is that it isn't always there. I was playing earlier today and everything was right as rain, but tonight, it's like my computer is about to have and aneurysm . [07:39] those, Fishscene [07:39] I have a built in mic, how do i use it for skype and stuff [07:39] I think JakobLaursen has tried a clean install, am I right? [07:39] Fishscene: thats why i say make a script. and have the launcher run the script [07:39] JakobLaursen: what you're doing is like saying "my car won't work, what is wrong with it" to a mechanic. It's hard to say anthing without more information. [07:40] gourav: what kernel you have, type terminal; uname -r [07:40] brb [07:40] so it would be `./home/administrator/Desktop/tss2_rc2/teamspeak2-server_startscript start` [07:40] Dr_Willis: I can't start the install with the 9.10-disc. It won't boot either. Have tried to burn more than one disc ā€“ even kubuntu and edubuntu as well. same problem with all [07:40] talsemgeest, i have just installed partition editor, but i can't see it in system :( [07:40] messiah: Well computers do degrade over time, but the slow-ness shouldnt have carried over from xp to xubuntu [07:41] JakobLaursen - I've actually had more success with the Karmic beta, now I have been told I am not allowed to tell you this, but if the official Karmic isn't working, try the beta (I can't install official Karmic) [07:41] "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal" Let me try a different launcher method [07:41] I have a built in mic, how do i use it for skype and stuff [07:41] talsemgeest, not the same slow-ness :D it is better now, but a little bit slow yet [07:41] how do I see if there is any update ona bug i reported in launchpad [07:41] hrm [07:41] * syn-ack rars a 4 gig file. :/ [07:41] messiah: Look for gparted instead [07:41] talsemgeest, messiah: well what sort of specs does the system have? I can attest that a P3-133MHz wouldn't do very well running Ubuntu (and would be slow running Win XP too) [07:41] speaking of skype, anyone actually have it working properly for making calls in 9.10 or 9.04 ? [07:41] I love gparted [07:41] SwedeMike, I do [07:41] "Failed to execute child process (path in quotes)" [07:42] I do [07:42] but [07:42] SwedeMike, Works just fine. [07:42] i cant get my mic to work [07:42] This is stupid difficult for such an easy task. =( [07:42] if someone can help me set up my mic in ubuntu [07:42] draconis, aopen ak72, k7-700, 256+128, fx5200 [07:42] msg SwedeMike what's going on with your skype? [07:42] SwedeMike, it works, but I've since switched to Pidgin (though the voice chat is Linux-only) and SIP [07:42] Hi. I need fast help- something eats my HD space very quickly, for a moment it'll kill my system [07:42] nice job on latest release , i just swiched my gf from windows xp to this :) [07:42] syn-ack: never worked for me on my thinkpad x200, with 9.04 there was serious desync over time (seemed to buffer recorded audio), with 9.10 I can make one test call, then recording stops working. [07:43] marco, are you sure the driver supports a mic? Which sound card do you have? [07:43] how do i check [07:43] messiah, that's kind of smallish ram [07:43] talsemgeest, draconis --- with that specs i made well in make the partition ext4? or it should be ext3? maybe it would be faster? [07:43] marco, lspci | grep snd [07:43] ok [07:43] messiah: No, the filesystem should not change the speed [07:44] messiah, ext3 is probably better for stability [07:44] meh [07:44] talsemgeest, what a nice program! now i see that clear i mean sda2,5,6 :D [07:44] ext3 is slow as hell [07:44] messiah: Ah, excellent :) [07:44] SwedeMike, /msg pls [07:45] talsemgeest, draconis but one question; can i change that ntfs for ext4 without formating? i guess no, but... who knows :D [07:45] um how do i type the line [07:45] how to edit grub file on 9.10? [07:45] marco, in the terminal [07:45] messiah, you definitely have to format to switch to ext4 from ntfs [07:45] messiah: I dont think so, but you can always shrink then move the data to another partition [07:45] no [07:45] Hi, I'm having some serious problems booting into the live CD. I select English Language and boot it from the menu then it loads a buch of stuff and the screen will start blinking and it dumps me at the command prompt (ubuntu@ubuntu:#) with it still flashing. What's the problem? [07:45] hi! are there any known problems to get a sb x-fi running with ubuntu 9.10? it seems to be detected but there is no sound.. [07:45] like [07:45] Is anyone still getting the I/O loop0 error on shutdown/restart with Ubu 9.1? [07:46] the line between the 2 words [07:46] were is that on my key board [07:46] FOR GOD'S SAKE, in three minutes my system is dead, how find out which file is so big and growning larger? [07:46] Anger78: Try to change the sound device in the sound preferences [07:46] marco, | is \ with shift [07:46] marco - above enter + shift? [07:46] oh [07:46] im a new sorry [07:46] Don't apologise, that's fine. [07:46] Everyone here was new at some point. [07:47] talsemgeest, draconis yes, thanks... but too many info hehehehe... hope now my downloads go fine... i was using jdownloader and emule.... i wanted to use my temp files and follow my downloads... they went very bad before [07:47] we were all new at somepoint so np :) [07:47] how to edit grub file on 9.10?anyone? [07:47] ok [07:47] Lunz, apparantly uses Grub2 now, do some googling for that I guess. [07:47] it is the selected device, else there is the ati hdmi output device switched to that and back again, no effect [07:47] i typed it and i got nothing is there any spaces [07:47] dosia: open terminal and run the command du. the numbers on the left side should tell you which file is largest [07:47] messiah: I know you can do it with torrents, but Im not so sure with jdownloader and emule [07:48] Anger78: and check to make sure that the icon in the taskbar of the speaker is set to something other than mute. That one got me once before. [07:48] talsemgeest, god bless you :D [07:48] yes thought it was that first, but now its unmuted and still now working [07:48] draconis, thanks you too! [07:49] Thanks messiah :) [07:49] !grub2 | Lunz [07:49] Lunz: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [07:49] hmm..thanks,you may close this channel..so we can all googling instead of wasting time here === SpacePigeon is now known as gdb [07:49] .part [07:49] i'd rather syat with the old grub [07:49] whats the default root pass? [07:49] dosia: but it's proably better to shut your system down, if you can, than to go and delete a large file that you find without knowing what that file is. if you have another computer you can use, then run the du command on the computer that's got the big file/s on it, then shut that computer down, and google the name of the largest files to mae sure you dont delete a fil tyour system needs to run [07:49] clutch: There is no default [07:50] i typed it and i got nothing is there any spaces [07:50] @clutch : there is no [07:50] clutch: By default you can not log in as root [07:50] just use sudo [07:50] $sudo bash to switch to root [07:50] !root | clutch [07:50] clutch: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [07:51] clutch: open terminal and run sudo -i. enter your user's password. that will you a terminal prompt that says something like root@desktop$. be careful when running commands as root, b/c you can modify and delete any files that way. [07:51] talsemgeest, last thing; do you think i can download jdownloader and install it in ext4 partition and use the folder for downloads in the ntfs one? or it is better to format it to ext4 too? [07:51] sudo su should do the same [07:52] messiah: As far as I can tell, it should not matter where you download them to [07:52] thanks a lot guys [07:52] talsemgeest, but better if i format to ext4, right? [07:52] i typed it and i got nothinsndg is there any spaces did i type it right lspci | grep [07:52] messiah: It really doesnt matter [07:52] i see [07:52] messiah: If you want to, so so, otherwise dont :) [07:52] *do so [07:52] d9500 I don't have another system/pc reading ext, now I have no space and systemis working and im not sure it will after reboot... [07:52] any ideas about my sound? [07:53] Any gamers in here?

[07:56] Guest65403: I did it, and love it. [07:56] 8.04 hardly [07:57] i have a cpu monitor as a panel applet, it is showing one of my two cores at 100% and my temps reflect that as being accurate... but looking at ps -aux i do not see more than about 20% total cpu usage. any ideas? [07:57] hello all [07:57] Hi, I'm having some serious problems booting into the live CD. I select English Language and boot it from the menu then it loads a buch of stuff and the screen will start blinking and it dumps me at the command prompt (ubuntu@ubuntu:#) with it still flashing.

[08:00] ok thank you [08:00] messiah: What is the problem? [08:00] I was just toying with lubuntu-desktop on 9.10 today :) it uses lxde.. and .. it needs work. :) [08:01] draconis, i don't have that in my ps -aux output... but i have had the flash plugin crash frequently. is there some known problem? [08:01] talsemgeest, i go to IPv4, manual, set ip, mask and gateway, but then i can't click in apply [08:01] Dr_Willis: Yes! it does and we need your help. [08:01] messiah: did you set a dns? [08:01] upgrdman, well, that's the full path to it [08:01] My wireless and keyboard mouse locks up on the desktop. === gdb is now known as Droide [08:02] alca7raz, it says DNS's where i suppouse to write the second one? [08:02] DNS servers [08:02] scusate dove trovo un canale in italiano? [08:02] d9500 It would allow anyone using computer to do as he want, so i think no... i think i tried this once, without succes. btw, du doesn't work properly any more, maybe i could find a process making this instead of file? [08:02] upgrdman, and it's really iffy. sometimes it doesn't like the sound system, sometimes it crashes due to the browser, etc [08:02] messiah: Make sure that you have filled out all the information [08:02] Hey all. I'm trying to boot from USB, and I've used usb creator to copy the iso files to the usb stick, but when my laptop boots it doesn't seem to find it bootable. :( [08:02] lee909, #ubuntu-it for italian [08:02] draconis, ya i known. nothing with flash in it... | grep flash ... yields nothing but grep flash [08:02] Grazie. [08:03] messiah: You only need 1 dns, but make sure you have entered the ip address, subnet mask and gateway as well [08:03] SeanInSeattle, I have had trouble with that, what version of ubuntu are you using currently [08:03] talsemgeest, alca7raz "search domains" is the second DNS? [08:03] d9500 sorry for long time answering i have lag [08:03] messiah: I have left that empty [08:03] upgrdman, draconis 7617 0.9 1.7 607964 66800 ? Sl 01:26 0:21 /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser --type=plugin --plugin-path=/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so --lang=en-US --plugin-data-dir=/home/draconis/.config/chromium/Default --channel=443.5089e920.280352776 [08:03] messiah: you only need to put in one DNS server [08:03] vigo: biggest issue i see with all these whatever-desktops is they fight with each other over the default file manager.. after installing lubuntu-desktop - pcmanfm became the default gnome file manager depending on how i launched the file manager/icon - that promted me to remove lubuntu-desktop right then. I HATE pcmanfm. [08:03] bazhang: I'm running ubuntu 9.1, and trying to create the usb stick with the same version. [08:03] messiah: Left it empty, and it still allows me to click apply [08:03] upgrdman, when it's not running it won't be there, keep that in mind [08:03] hey does anyone know why i cant connect to AIM or MSN with pidgin anymore? the other day both just stopped working [08:04] upgrdman, if it just crashes before it starts, for instance [08:04] vigo: i noticed similer isues with kde4 fighting with gnome file manager also. but ive not seen that in 9.10 [08:04] talsemgeest, alca7raz i have just did it as before and it doesn't allow me to click apply [08:04] hello coming back to the usb mouse getting different /dev/input/eventN every time its plugged in+ how to stop that and make it to stick to only one /dev/input/event6 [08:04] anyone having any idea about this [08:04] SeanInSeattle, unetbootin is the repos for karmic, you may wish to try usb-creator again (it took me a couple tries to get it right) or install unetbootin and give that a try [08:04] draconis, ok, but one of my cores has been at 100% for over an hour now. and still nothing like that in ps aux. no browsers open either [08:05] Dr_Willis: Lets take this to the Lubuntu channel? wait,,, [08:05] bazhang: Sure, I'll try unetbootin [08:05] messiah: The only explaination I can think of is that you entered the info wrong [08:05] talsemgeest, alca7raz 192.168.1.48 - 255.255.255.0 - 192.168.1.1 ----- DNS well entered [08:05] dosia: hit alt+f2 and type gnome-system-monitor to show how much resources each program is using. but that only shows cpu and ram use, so unless your system is doing a huge amount of swapping to the hard drive, then i don't know that the system monitor will indicate much [08:05] upgrdman, uh, no browsers open? [08:05] upgrdman, then flash isn't running [08:05] messiah: Set to manual in the ipv4 tab? [08:05] draconis, ya.. exactly my point [08:05] flash can crash and be still running i think after the broiwser closes. [08:06] talsemgeest, i have my netbook in my legs and i am copying the same info of it here... just changing the last numberr of the ip [08:06] upgrdman, if you mean that apport is squawking at you, apport is somewhat buggy itself [08:06] talsemgeest, yes dude [08:06] what is apport? [08:06] upgrdman, what I assume is notifying you that "flash keeps crashing" [08:07] messiah: Well, the only thing I can suggest is to do it manually: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html === Lapinux_ is now known as lapinux [08:07] upgrdman, since you're obviously not seeing flash crash on your own (you don't even have a browser running) [08:07] Dr_Willis: Please join /lubuntu [08:07] talsemgeest, i think i must fill in "searching domains" maybe that is the second DNS?? === skywalker is now known as Guest5860 [08:07] how do i regenerate all directories/defaults of /var (it's deleted* [08:07] ok, let me start over. flash is not the problem right now. flash was brough up by someone else earlier... my problem is that my cpu montior shows one core at 100% but ps aux or gnome-monitor shows hardly any cpu usage. but temps reflect the cpu as working hard [08:08] talsemgeest, it is in white, not in grey as the other that it doesn't allow me to write in [08:08] messiah: Like I said, it allows me to click apply without that box filled [08:08] D3RGPS31, why would you ever delete those [08:08] bazhang: seperate partition, thought i backed it up [08:08] talsemgeest, do i have to write something in "routes"? [08:08] bazhang: Yeah, Unetbootin is working out great. [08:08] upgrdman, oh [08:08] messiah: I didnt [08:09] upgrdman, is there anything in "top" that is high cpu use? [08:09] top? [08:09] bit ot: how can i swictch between open channels in xirc? [08:09] bazhang: are you able to help me? [08:09] upgrdman, or whatever process viewer you use, I think gnome-monitor has one that lists all the processes [08:09] talsemgeest, i have just tryed to enter the second dns on that other box, but still it doesn't allow me to click apply [08:09] the only thing shows more than 0.8% cpu usage is syslog @ 24% [08:10] messiah: Check that link I gave you, it will let you force your settings [08:10] salut! cine poate sÄ-mi ajuta? [08:12] talsemgeest, lol that is so long, i will do it tomorrow :D [08:12] messiah: It isnt that long [08:12] scuze, am nevoie de ajutor cu calculatorul meu [08:12] cine poate sa-mi ajuta?

[08:14] talsemgeest, but i have wi-fi, not ethernet [08:14] messiah: It should not make much of a difference, just edit wlan0 instead of eth0 [08:14] upgrdman, well, everything is going to add up, but if syslog is that high something might be up [08:15] hi, I created a .deb package (based on gufw's source package), and despite including a proper .desktop file, the menu item is not being registered properly on the GNOME menu. Can anybody help? [08:15] upgrdman, might want to pastebin the contents of "dmesg" [08:15] Hi... now that Totem has regressed to being a single engine player can anyone suggest an alternative? Needs to support DVB (Television), DVD with menus, skipping though video (Totem can't do this on many now), ideally gnome thumbnail compatible... [08:16] draconis, any idea where syslog keeps its log? just in dmesg? [08:16] d9500 i had this problem with sensors after upgrade to 9.10, it logged proccessor hoverheating making 1DB logs and using 90%CPU. someone adviced me installing lm-sensors, i did it, and CPU usage llooked normal, but enourmous disc usage ascendens/ sorry for bad ortography, due to lag i dont see what am i writing [08:16] !player [08:16] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

[08:17] Dr_Willis - I think VLC supports DVB, not sure about thumbnailing. Does it integrate into Firefox? [08:17] Doctec - It was all possible with totem-xine, but that's gone now :( Mythtv/xmbc are a bit on the heavy side [08:17] i want to know how i can set more fast the restarts and shutdowns in my laptop... [08:18] upgrdman, yeah, but if it's just one, that shouldn't be enough to take out syslog [08:18] chazco: never noticed... check the package manager see if thers some plugins for it. Not really a big item on my must have list. :) [08:18] upgrdman, i know ur problem. 9.10 have messed up sensor logging, and makes very fast lng logs like overheating processor or sth. i tried to repair it and now my pc is halfdead... [08:19] does anybody have an app that can join an audio file and an image to make a video? [08:19] when i try to restart or shutdown the system take several time doing this... [08:19] To those who use Ubuntu Netbook Remix, do you know where the file (for Files & Folders) can be found? [08:19] avidemux doesn't seem to do the job [08:19] Dr_Willis - hmm, mozilla-plugin-vlc looks promising [08:19] Hello. Is there an application for linux that will make a large sign on my desktop that flashes "DRINK" every minute or so? [08:19] Is there a chat room where new people go? [08:20] yumbeer: kalarm [08:20] and all time i must force the shutdown by power on button in my laptop.... :( [08:20] thank you so much [08:20] Can I delete var/cache directory? [08:20] dosia: i'm no expert on /var/log, but what if there was a way to disable sensor logging entirely? wouldn't that make it stop writing the huge logfiles? [08:20] talsemgeest, as i told you i am using wi-fi and where it suppouse to be "wlan0" (where in the url says eth0) in may case says "l0" or "lo" [08:20] Hi, [08:21] talsemgeest, "lo" [08:21] can anybody help to me? =( [08:21] hi folks [08:21] messiah: It only shows lo, no other devices?

In regards to a dual monitor setup, anyone know why I wouldnt get a picture (using a VGA monitor on a DVI port)? I found this strange as it worked when I installed Ubuntu, but after a reboot I cant seem to get it to work. [08:22] Someone adviced me to install lm-sensors, now the logs are still (or sth else, nort logs) making, but i don;'t know where [08:22] ubottu: How can I get help with wireless mouse and keyboard locking up on my desktop? [08:22] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:22] !wireless [08:23] Is karmic a stable release? [08:23] Hajuu, yes [08:23] neat [08:24] Anyone ever encountered an issue of Ubuntu (or driver) not being able to detect a monitor? [08:26] d9500 Someone adviced me to install lm-sensors, now the logs (or sth else, not logs) are still making, but i don't know where.

[08:29] knoppies: i find seperate x screens an annoyance. but that same tool lets you set it to 2 x screens also. === JoeSomebody2 is now known as JoeSomebody [08:29] talsemgeest, you mean i can't do that howto? i must do again the method i was doing? but it doesn't work [08:29] ortsvorsteher: hi.... boot is faster in my laptop.. but linux take several time to restarts and shutdowns... [08:29] messiah: Well, apparently the how-to doesnt work either :) [08:29] can I empty /var/cache/apt/archivessafely? [08:29] I'm trying to write a command that kills a proccess: "kill >(pidof haloded.exe)" Is this written correctly? [08:29] talsemgeest, i haven't tryed it yet [08:29] Dr_Willis, I find the TwinView annoying, I thought I would give Seperate X displays a try, but when I set it to separate X screens, it says I need to restart it, so i restart ubuntu, and when I log in It reverts to a single screen. [08:29] dosia: thers an apt-get command that cleans them out properly [08:30] dosia: i wish i knew more about sensor logging, but i think you'd get better help just asking in channel. i'm not really an exper at it. [08:30] ortsvorsteher: and i hate press the power button to force this action... [08:30] DaveyAM, but why it takes long time for shutdown? [08:30] anyone know any linux apps like publisher [08:30] knoppies: you must run the nvidia-settings tool as ROOT and save the config file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and that tool is a little brain dead [08:30] messiah: If it doesnt show your network device (wireless card) in the file, it most likely will not work [08:30] d9500 thanks for all anyway. [08:30] meowpup, Scribus [08:30] dosia: dr_willis did msg you earlier. a few seconds ago [08:30] Is there a reason why sound would only work when in gnome? Whenever I try something else like, say, ion3, awesome or wmii, I get no sound. I also get the following error message when trying to open alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory. If I pipe a file into /dev/audio, I hear a "speakers are getting ready" kind of click, but nothing afterward. [08:30] talsemgeest, what do you advice me to do? [08:31] ortsvorsteher: i don't know.. unmount the devices, usb mouse i don't know.. :( [08:31] knoppies: it dosent like the minimal xorg.conf - so i had to copy over my old xorg.conf to /etc/X11 to let it change that one.. other wise it crashed [08:31] Dr_Willis, Brain dead as in it doesnt always work, or as in I have to do some of the work for it? [08:31] DaveyAM, do you have closed all apps safely before you restart or shutdown? [08:31] knoppies: http://pastebin.com/f107eba16 [08:31] dosia: he said something about a command to clean them out..the logs i guess [08:31] messiah: I would advise you to keep trying with the method you used before, but also run "sudo ifconfig" to see what your information is [08:31] ortsvorsteher: yes.. i close all app's.. all time... [08:31] dr_willis thank you, but i can't search it in google since my pc is crashing, can you tell me it? [08:31] knoppies: you either save the new xorg.conf it makes to a different file to begin with - and move/rename it.. or use that xorg,conf i pasted. and let it change that. some sections missing from the config really confused the tool [08:32] DaveyAM, do you get any messages by restarting or shutdown that anything isn't okay? [08:32] dosia: it might be apt-get autoremove or autoclean i forget what th comamnd is. [08:32] talsemgeest, it shows me kind of 3 interfaces, first one "lo" second, "wlan0" and third "wmaster0" [08:32] autoremove [08:32] Dr_Willis, move/rename it so that it over writes the old one? [08:32] thanks [08:32] ortsvorsteher: mmm not really in the process i can see that all is [ok] =( [08:32] dosia, it only tells you that when it needs to be done [08:32] i never clean that cache. since this pc caches the packges for the rest of the lan. :) [08:32] messiah: Ah, I see. Then you will most likely have to edit wlan0 :) [08:33] talsemgeest, lo = bucle local [08:33] knoppies: yes. [08:33] DaveyAM, you have an netbook? how long exactly the shutdown/reboot process takes? [08:33] knoppies: the nvidia-settings tool is really getting old and dosent play well with the new changes to xorg.conf sadly [08:33] messiah: lo is the looback interface, used for communicating internally with programs. You do not want to edit that one [08:33] syn-ack, i have 0 free bytes on hdd left, so I think it's the time. [08:34] Dr_Willis, Thanks. Do you know the command to start it as root? [08:34] knoppies: gksu nvidia-settings :) [08:34] sudo nvidia-xconfig [08:34] Hurray, I'm saved :) [08:34] talsemgeest, so what i do? don't remove that lo and loopbacks and just add with wlan? [08:34] can someone help me with my DVI/VGA issue? [08:35] messiah: You want to edit the wlan0 paragraph, to give it the settings you want [08:35] nvidia-xconfig (with the X, is a non gui app) that dosent run in X. to tweak the configs :) ive not used that in ages. [08:35] nvidia-settings (with no X) is a X app :) [08:35] dosia, if you're looking to just clean your apt-cache all you need to do is type apt-get clean [08:36] syn-ack, thanks, i did it. [08:36] Im proper cleaning of the apt cache in /var/ can cause.. odd bugs/quirks/messages :) [08:36] ortsvorsteher: i have a probook 4410S, and mayor times the system take more than 5 min's.. sometimes not restart/shut.. :( [08:36] If you're looking to remove unused apps and libs that no longer need to be installed, autoremove them [08:36] Dr_Willis: Yup, ive been using that to set a resolution on a monitor of mine... problem its.. its a VGA monitor connected to a DVI port [08:36] Dr_Willis: for some reason I just cannot get a resolution right using VGA/DVI [08:36] talsemgeest, please, have a look http://paste.ubuntu.com/313087/ [08:36] Ruge: ive tossed all my vga's and am a better man for it. :) [08:36] Dr_Willis: I wish i could too ;) but finances have made me keep my old monitors [08:36] Dr_Willis, thanks. [08:36] Ruge: good luck. [08:36] DaveyAM, more than 2 minutes i think are not acceptable. you have running ubuntu? or xubuntu? [08:37] messiah: You will want to edit the wlan0 paragraph like it says in the tutorial [08:37] ortsvorsteher: ubuntu 9.0.4 (full updates) and 64bit version [08:37] ortsvorsteher: is an recently installation in this machine.. [08:38] Hello every body [08:38] I'm having a problem with dar [08:38] DaveyAM, may you try to find out what exactly makes the restart/shutdown process so slow? [08:38] my 10GB archive just never work [08:39] messiah: I need to go, but Im sure someone else will help you :) [08:39] talsemgeest, the thing is that in my interfaces file, i only have that two lines, no eth0... just auto lo; iface lo inet loopback, not anymore... i must add auto wlan0; iface wlan0 inet static etc... etc... or just change lo for wlan0? [08:39] hello [08:39] I repeated operation several time, but this archive do not work : [08:39] Cannot open catalogue: compressed data CRC error [08:39] !list [08:39] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type Ā« /msg ubottu !bot Ā» [08:39] talsemgeest, just that, anything more ^^ [08:39] messiah: Imagine your file says eth0 instead of wlan0, then you should be fine [08:40] talsemgeest, but my file doesn't say wlan or eth, just lo, just 2 lines [08:40] talsemgeest, because of that i ask, i must remove lo and write wlan0, or just add without remove that lines? [08:40] messiah: You said it did! [08:40] ortsvorsteher: mmm no really... i haven't many things installed in this machine... [08:40] messiah: And it says it in the file you pasted === blake` is now known as money [08:41] Ok sorry messiah, I need to go. Good luck with your problem :) [08:41] talsemgeest, lol, "that two lines" i mean the ones on top of the file pasted [08:41] DaveyAM, at the moment i have no idea why the process takes so long. :-/ [08:41] ortsvorsteher: and in hardware just my mouse =( [08:41] msg nickserv identify linuxrox [08:41] ortsvorsteher: some way to force the restart or shutdown process? [08:42] lol [08:42] DaveyAM, no, nothing what i know, may you ask again in channel ... [08:42] ortsvorsteher: i know about the sudo shutdown -r or -h now command.. but i want one permanently solution.. :( [08:43] I am half way done with getting jaunty to were i was before i installed karmic "the krusher" Koala [08:43] DaveyAM, the permanently solution is, i think, to find out what makes the restart/shutdown process slow/not ending [08:43] ortsvorsteher: yes.. i think so too.. :( [08:44] is ubuntu as secure as openbsd for a server? [08:44] DaveyAM, may you make an upgrade to 9.10? maybe it will be faster than 9.04 in reboot/shutdown? [08:44] hmmm [08:45] I just formatted my HDD using Ext4 and gParted software [08:45] But I cant write or do anything to the drive.... [08:45] Any hints? [08:45] ortsvorsteher: mmm i don't know if that is a good idea.. :S [08:46] money how do you tell if a is more secure then b? [08:46] DaveyAM, and i really dont know it. may you find something in your system what makes the process slow [08:46] money: another question would be, how do you define secure? === hekkiall is now known as kelli [09:36] :o [09:36] WTF [09:36] any 9500s 3ware experts out there.

"to its own updated version" [09:50] Any experts on 3ware 9500s cards? [09:50] well, i have ubuntu 8.04 (lol).. i installed manually the new kernel version, 2.6.31.5, and the update manager decided that i should have 2.6.24-16-generic [09:50] it downgraded my kernel version :\ [09:51] where can i report this bug ? [09:51] NiSo: im not so sure its a bug [09:51] NiSo: 2.6.31.5 should still be installed, and should still be the first entry in grub [09:51] <[JackD]> NiSo: it deleted the kernel or just added a new kernel to the menu.lst ? [09:51] NiSo: to report any bug go to help and report from there [09:51] [JackD], deleted [09:52] Billiard: how? [09:52] anyone esle with a fully update karmic having problems starting rhythmbox ? [09:52] Jordan_U, no, the first entry in grub is their own "up-to-date" kernel [09:52] _FANTASY_: No CTCP frogs for you. [09:52] Billiard, how come? [09:52] CHESLYN: try a networking irc channel [09:53] the newest kernel should always be installed [09:53] Billiard: it works on all of it [09:53] NiSo: Did you install a new kernel package or did you compile your own ( without packaging it into a .deb ) ? [09:53] CHESLYN: sorry? elaborate [09:54] NiSo: Not necessary to always install nothing is forced to u [09:54] Jordan_U, compiled my own with "make oldconfig".. [09:55] NiSo, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=227088&highlight=disable+update+manager [09:55] hi, i changed something in my locales, and now i get this error http://pastebin.com/m4007a29b [09:55] d9500, i dont want to disable update manager, i just want this bug fixed, lol [09:55] i reconfigured locales, but still failing [09:55] Billiard: so u have no clue can like reset it or something? [09:55] i think that in 2-3 lines of code u can fix that [09:55] NiSo: You should build kernel packages with kernel-package but a kernel upgrade should still not remove manually added kernel images [09:55] is because of LANG= [09:55] ? [09:56] NiSo, you want to disable a specific update though, right? just the kernel updates, so it doesn't install the older kernel over your new custom one? [09:56] no, not exactly [09:56] NiSo: It wouldn't be update-manager, it would be the linux-image* package [09:56] i dont want to "solve" my problem, i want to report that, because i truly belive it's a bug [09:57] !bugs | NiSo [09:57] NiSo: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command Ā« ubuntu-bug Ā» - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [09:57] ok thanks :) [09:57] CHESLYN: how should i know how your network is configured, i am not psychic, i do not know what proxy you are using, sorry [09:57] please i really need to make my firefox work on a web, it runs fine with firefox in wine, so why not in raw ubuntu? it's nothing about useragent i checked that, and iptables and router shouldn't be the problem, if it works in wine it's the same 4 lin, so what's ?

[10:42] hhiiii [10:42] Moblin Ubuntu is running like crap on my gaming compuer at the moment (probably because drivers) but man is Moblin beautiful [10:43] works now [10:43] hi guys..anyonw knows how to change a sound effect theme in karmic? [10:43] imagitronics: i couldent get mobilin to do diddly-do :) but that was 2 weeks ago [10:43] It's nice how "gotta reboot, be back in a min" actually holds meaning on linux, as opposed to Windows... [10:43] imagitronics: i think mutter don't perfrom with ati or nvidia [10:43] ubuntu boots slower than windows vista on my machine [10:43] PhantomLink, with windows, it's "gotta reboot, wish me merry christmas and a happy new year if i dont see you before then" [10:44] XD [10:44] Dr_Willis: Did you try the Moblin Ubuntu Remix? [10:44] <_david1> Does anyone have any experience with offline repositories and distribution upgrade? [10:44] So that it has Ubuntu underneath? [10:44] Hi why do ubuntu recommend a separate installation for Home folder ? [10:44] is ubuntu even a good idea to install on a laptop? [10:44] _david1: I have :) [10:45] ubuntunewbie, so that your files are safe if the OS goes KRAZY!!! [10:45] _david1: you need updgrade with alternate CD [10:45] oddhyena: Yes it is good to use especially using ur resources [10:45] well [10:45] oddhyena: ubuntu boots far faster than your vista [10:45] <_david1> BlouBlu: Thanks - I created an offline repository for ubuntu using apt-mirror, it works fine but for some reason stations running 9.04 don't see the new 9.10 version and they won't upgrade, do I need to download anything other than Jaunty + Karmic repository? [10:45] oddhyena: I use Ubuntu on my computer, my laptop, my home theater pc... and my netbook! Is it good idea? Yes! :3 [10:45] ubuntunewbie: standard practice for any linux install is a separate home partition [10:45] ubuntunewbie, so that if you reinstall or upgrade, you can keep your documents and the settings for your programs [10:45] Dr_Willis: karmic-moblin-remix seems to be pretty freaking sweet [10:45] leaf-sheep, congrats :D [10:45] from first impressions [10:45] Alguien que habla EspaƱol?

[10:46] is anyone having issues with their touchpads with the 9.10 install? I have a I think a synaptics touchpad and it glicthes and hops all over the place. I have googled for fixes and cant find any [10:46] <_david1> BlouBlou: Sorry, mispelled your name earlier so you might have missed my question - I created an offline repository for ubuntu using apt-mirror, it works fine but for some reason stations running 9.04 don't see the new 9.10 version and they won't upgrade, do I need to download anything other than Jaunty + Karmic repository? [10:47] om26er: It's still puuurdy :) [10:47] d9500 : but I did wrongly installing at the same partition so right now I plan to upgrade to 9.10 and there are a lot of files and program settings I wanted to backup [10:47] ubuntunewbie, for example, your firefox bookmarks are stored in /home/[yourusername]/.mozilla, so if you have a separate /home partition, and keep it when doing a new install, the bookmarks will be right there in the newly installed firefox, without having to import them from a backup. alothough backing up yor data is still a good idea nonetheles [10:47] imagitronics: it really looks cool [10:47] Need help right now , how to back up all of them [10:47] !moblin [10:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about moblin [10:47] ubuntunewbie: updating wont change ur files [10:48] Moblin has the potential to be pretty awesome [10:48] ubuntunewbie, you haven't installed the new version of ubuntu yet, have you? [10:48] this might seem like a pointless use of a modem, but is it possible to run a kind of dialup server to hook my sega dreamcast to my PC to give it some kind of internet access?

[10:48] d9500: nope , I am now currently using 8.04 [10:48] Is there a reason why sound would only work when in gnome? Whenever I try something else like, say, ion3, awesome or wmii, I get no sound. I also get the following error message when trying to open alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory. If I pipe a file into /dev/audio, I hear a "speakers are getting ready" kind of click, but nothing afterward. [10:48] oddhyena: proberly is possible. [10:48] _david1: no, with them should be done [10:48] ubuntunewbie, ok, do you have an external flash drive or usb hard drive that you can abck them up to? [10:49] d9500: plan to upgrade to 9.10 ,but all my programs will be erase :-( [10:49] oddhyena: depending on how the DC accesses the internet, You can set up you owm Mini isp with a linux box + modem [10:49] ubuntunewbie: tar cvpjf backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys / [10:49] d9500: yes I have them , but I read somewhere I can't just copy and paste [10:49] use this to backup === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [10:49] python_root : ??? sorry dont understand [10:49] imagitronics: here are the bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-moblin-remix/+bugs [10:49] <_david1> BlouBlou: Still, the workstations that use my repository won't try to upgrade to 9.10, did any of your workstations upgrade to 9.10 using the repository only? [10:49] thnx [10:50] python_root : yeh something like a command line to zip them to backup [10:50] ubuntunewbie: " tar cvpjf backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys / " paste it in terminal for backup [10:50] ubuntunewbie: yes [10:50] python_root : But once I do a fresh install 9.10 , will those backup programs run ?

You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [11:54] Yeah, I have ext3. [11:54] Drule, are you transferring from PC -> PC ? [11:54] iceroot: it's very warm at the backside but i can't tell for sure. [11:55] - [11:55] ill look at the bios [11:55] ibuclaw: I have a LAN/WLAN one. Don't know the name. [11:55] Drule: oh, wait, these are separate systems? [11:55] And yeah, from PC to PC. [11:55] NFaZe: then its not a ubuntu-problem i think [11:55] Drule, just get a cat5 and link em. [11:55] cat5? [11:55] ok, thanks for the help :) [11:55] is there any gui and working video encoder for ubuntu. [11:55] Drule, if you can get ubuntu connected via cat5, you can use rsync [11:55] Drule, cat5 == ethernet [11:55] who i make the icon in panel like windows 7 ? [11:55] Drule, cat-5e, cat-5, cat-6, "aka Ethernet cable" [11:56] get out the good old RJ45 cables [11:56] Well, I tried connecting the Ubuntu computer to my Vista laptop, but the Vista laptop couldn't find the Ubuntu computer despite it having shared folders. [11:56] Like I said, the networking is broken on the Ubuntu comp [11:56] it doesn't have an internal IP or anything [11:56] Drule, you tried connecting directly? [11:56] Yeah. [11:56] with an ethernet cable [11:57] anyone know about what is wrong ELF class + or where i can find the info on that [11:57] Drule, never tried it, but a guess is that you probably used the wrong type [11:57] Hola [11:57] ibuclaw: Wrong type of cable? [11:57] who i make the icon in panel like windows 7 ? [11:57] Drule, there are two types of Ethernet [11:57] sara1 -> http://phoenix_art.wps4.info/node/151 [11:57] Oh, I didn't know that. [11:58] Drule, he's talking about crossover... those cables dont matter anymore. Everything can take straight through [11:58] seems a lot of people went throught this error and still there is nothing in wiki can anyone suggest a good place to look for that [11:58] ibuclaw, "those who understand Ethernet and those who don't?" [11:58] I have installed Broadcon STA wireless drive in my new ubuntu but still i cant connect to Wifi [11:58] wrong elf class [11:58] Suse problem, white screen after using desktop specials cause my system doesĀ´nt support it aparently, the problem is that i am running suse x64 on vmware in ubuntu 9.10 x64, therefor i cant use ctrl-alt-f1 at login screen cause it will boot to ubuntu, not suse, and if i log in, the screen goes white..! [11:58] Drule, you just need to configure correctly... [11:58] can anyone tell me how to connect to wifi... you can PM me. [11:58] !wifi | aruna [11:58] aruna: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [11:59] any help? [11:59] kim_Da_Nite: #opensuse [11:59] Well, I managed to connect the Ubuntu computer to the internet by jacking it directly into my home LAN plug and running some kind of "dhcp-something eth0" command in terminal, so the ethernet cable definitely works. [11:59] hello everyone, new to ubuntu needs help configuring sound, no sound in my new ubuntu 9.10 system [11:59] wrong elf class where to contact anyone there [11:59] Drule, there are cat5 patch cables, used for connecting to a network device (ie: hubs/switches/routers) [11:59] Ya [11:59] X Error of failed request: GLXBadDrawable [11:59] Drule, your other option is getting a 32GB USB flashdrive or a external HD and pass it over. [11:59] Drule, then there are crossover cables, used to connect two machines together [11:59] Okay. [11:59] mrphoenix: please join #winehq [11:59] any idea how to make sound available? [11:59] ok [11:59] thank you [12:00] cerneula whats your make of the system [12:00] Drule, the only difference between them is how the wires at each end are aligned as [12:00] Dravekx_: Yeah, it's just that I'd like to pass on having to buy new hardware just to get the files off my computer. [12:00] I feel this should be relatively simple [12:00] kutanns: hp [12:00] Drule, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable [12:00] Drule, or maybe get a cheap 16GB and pass it little by little... probably a better option [12:00] cereneula :ist laptop or desk? [12:00] Is there a reason why sound would only work when in gnome? Whenever I try something else like, say, ion3, awesome or wmii, I get no sound. I also get the following error message when trying to open alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory. If I pipe a file into /dev/audio, I hear a "speakers are getting ready" kind of click, but nothing afterward. [12:00] kutanns: desktop [12:00] I would know if there are meta packages of fonts or do I have to download these from gnome.look? [12:00] ibuclaw: Ahh, I see. [12:00] kutanns: dc7800 [12:00] ibuclaw, crossover doesnt matter. network cards have fixed that problem. [12:01] unless his computer is 10 years old [12:01] kutanns: only ubuntu 9.10, I erased windows, they say I'm nuts [12:01] err.. i though with gigabit nic's they dont matter.. 100 speed cards still need xover cables. [12:01] is it safe to use the getdeb repository? [12:01] Ya my Vista comp is 5 months old, and the Ubuntu one is uh [12:01] 3 years old or something [12:01] get a package named pulseaudio volume control, pav which can be downloaded using synaptics [12:01] maybe 2 === dabossbv1 is now known as dabossbv [12:01] kutanns: ok [12:01] after that you can make the sound work ok [12:01] kutanns: I'm going for it [12:02] okie [12:02] Drule, a normal cat-5e or cat-5 cable should work fine. [12:02] Dravekx_, oh, ok ... call me ancient then ;) [12:02] lol [12:02] Dravekx_: I think I have a cat5 cable, but it didn't work. [12:02] anyone there with the knowledge of Wrong ELF class?? [12:02] i have tried but its not working [12:02] Drule, once you have connected them, check the IP address of the network card [12:02] Drule, when you plug it in, do you see lights? [12:02] oddhyena, just as safe as any 3rd party repository :) [12:03] and then setup a service on the Windows computer (ie: Samba Share) [12:03] ibuclaw: The problem is that my Ubuntu computer has messed up network settings. [12:03] i have installed the driver but i cant see the wireless connection in Wireless connection. [12:03] is there anything faster than samba? [12:03] Dravekx_: I didn't check.

[12:59] usertwo: ok, but nothing is mute, this is driving me up the wall [12:59] Dr_Willis: My question is, is it safe? [12:59] nitin: mine spin down after like 5 min anyway. so no idea. what if you try to access them now> they should spin back up [12:59] Ek|mu5, you can anly choose a gtkrc and background with typing in termainl : gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties [12:59] is there an ubuntu command line tool that can take my firefox rss feeds and export them for opml? === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [12:59] <|rottweiler|> nitin: binutils is lready installed, says apt-get. The problem remains.

[13:01] hello. if i try to update ubuntu i'm getting this message: W: Konnte http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic-proposed/Release nicht holen Unable to find expected entry universedeb/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) ! im using ubuntu 9.10 with gnome. [13:01] how to fix it [13:01] ? [13:01] standby = no motor + less power consumption right? [13:02] yesterday i installed xubuntu, and i couldn't see my ntfs partitions; someone told me 2 commands to mount them in /media/sdaX ---- sdb1; now, i have that folders yet, but nothing insinde.... do i have to write that commands everytime i turn on my computer???? [13:02] nitin: so you are using the computer for less then 5 min at a time and never accessing the hd..? sounds like a lot of work for very little gain. but go do what youy want [13:02] Does anyone know why when using the program Avidemux, my sound and video are choppy? Sound and video are fine in movie player. [13:02] Dr_Willis: Even with unmounted drives of hdd, the motors are still working right? [13:02] zniavre, not quite the result I'm looking for with that but thanks anyway [13:02] nitin: with mounted drives here.. they auto spin down after so much time. I can hear them spin back up if i access them after a few min. [13:02] cerneula: ok. unfortunately, i have to go right now. sorry i couldnt help you. [13:03] usertwo: many thanks anyway, see you [13:03] I want to update to karmic without loosing my /home partition.. how do i do that (not with update-manager) [13:03] messiah: put those mounts into /etc/fstab [13:03] <|rottweiler|> I am still getting the error. GCC says 'stdio.h: No such file or directory'. I googled for the solution without luck. [13:03] another question, anyone have experience with fan noise on the Thinkpad T60?

PLS help a linux/ubuntu newbie [13:03] grawity: ok I found the package... and installed it ... but I'm on livecd .. now I should mount my /boot partition and copy the images there and it should work right? [13:04] llutz, you mean write that two commands but not in /media? if so, can you repeat that two commands? mkdir.... [13:04] I work for more than 30 mins, but i will have to wait for 5 mins for the hdd to spin down before moving my car, thats ridiculous [13:04] !ntfs-3g|messiah [13:04] messiah: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions.

[13:04] whatis_tux: dpkg -L linux-image-blah-blah, will give you a list of files to copy. I think you'll need linux-modules too. [13:04] mine's acting weird, in that the noise increases when the temperature is low and quiets down when the air starts to get warmer [13:05] NFischer: it is an upgrade respects you user data and installed programs [13:05] messiah, avoid making writes to NTFS partitions [13:05] Ek|mu5 same prob for me [13:05] erUSUL, yes but i want a fresh system [13:05] python_root, T60 fan? [13:05] yep [13:05] <|rottweiler|> Ek|mu5: why? isn't it considered stable? [13:06] Ek|mu5: yep [13:06] |rottweiler|: do you have build-essential installed? [13:06] Ek|mu5: how to solve that prob [13:06] Does anyone know why when using the program Avidemux, my sound and video are choppy? Sound and video are fine in movie player. FYI it ran perfect in 9.04 [13:06] Ek|mu5, i use them for downloads... i should change them to ext4? [13:06] <|rottweiler|> legend2440: yes, i have. [13:06] |rottweiler|, not really a good idea to do that though [13:07] Ek|mu5: if u get any solution plz let me know [13:07] |rottweiler|, writes and deletes _sometimes_ messes up NTFS partitions [13:07] <|rottweiler|> Ek|mu5: Are you saying this based in some recent evidences of data lost or personal experience? [13:07] Ek|mu5: don't mix kernel-ntfs with ntfs-3g [13:07] NFischer: then you should say so in the question. . i would do a normal install without a separate home parition in the current root parition. then after the installation i would move home to my old home partition ( changing ownership of files if needed) [13:08] python_root, I'm gonna get better lube on the fan's bearings, WD40 solved it for a while but after 2 weeks noise was back when running on low temp [13:08] Ek|mu5 : man some thing like cpu cooler [13:09] python_root, also possible that the fan's bearings are worn out? [13:09] Ek|mu5 will solve i guess [13:09] no [13:09] Ek|mu5: wd40 is not good lube. :) use some silicon lube. [13:09] hi [13:09] KScope is no longer being maintained.why?

I'll check with synaptic [13:22] wrong, it is dhcp3-server [13:22] ubuntunewbie: fast erase only removes the cd identification so when u write new data the datas are over written but in full erase whole sectors are cleared [13:22] Araneidae, nvidia-glx-185 , ok which graphics card ? [13:22] I checked my hard drive on XP, Segate tool and and it donot complain for bad sectors while Ubuntu 9.10 does [13:22] BluesKaj, not really into the bleeding edge stuff [13:23] BluesKaj, literally crossed my fingers doing the upgrade from 9.04 hoping nothing will break [13:23] python_root: so which one is better ?

[14:31] BluesKaj, pretty sure it's on the motherboard, but it's causing a crash anyhow: http://pastebin.com/f55c35769 (backtrace right at the bottom) [14:31] I couldn't find an .img file of the PowerPC Ubuntu [14:32] ronald: and what do you see in System > Preferences > Sound?

[14:32] only an .iso, is there a way to get from one to another? [14:32] Uninstalling pulseaudio looks seriously painful: for example, qemu depends on libpulse0 (wtf?!) [14:32] hello. how do i interrupt the grub2 when system booting.. ? [14:32] faceman: a .iso is an img format [14:32] Jazzinghen : you should first ask your Q [14:32] What? [14:32] Araneidae: I just removed pulseaudio and rebooted. It solved all issues and created no problems for me [14:33] Jazzinghen : Question [14:33] i am still having a fan / noise problem; yesterday one fan started to make terrible noise (only on load); i stoped the fans manually and started the machine; no result; how to determine the fan under load? [14:33] Bodsda, is that to set a static IP or for what? now i have set as after install xubuntu, dinamic i guess [14:33] cg__: pressing Esc doesn't should do it [14:33] Bodsda, for sure not the one i set yesterday [14:33] Araneidae, run : aplay -l [14:33] cg__: I meant, should do it [14:33] Bodsda, so just the pulseaudio application, none of the extra librarys? [14:33] messiah: yes, that will set that interface to use the specified ip address [14:33] you just blew my mind Bodsda [14:33] I've got a problem with my WiFi PCI card. With Ubuntu 9.04 there weren't any problems, but now, after the dist-upgrade, it stopped working. [14:33] Araneidae: Yeah sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio [14:33] so I should be able to then use this guide to set it up through the terminal [14:33] I'm using Wicd [14:33] Bodsda, i deleted what i wrote in interfaces, i must write it again? and then write that? [14:33] papapep: i did. it doesn't give me any response [14:33] thank you very much, malnilion_ [14:34] does anyone have evolution-mapi working on ubuntu 9.10? it crashes for me during authentication with a segfault [14:34] messiah: no, you shouldnt have to do anything to the interfaces file [14:34] papapep: they have devise and sound [14:34] And it simply doesn't show any wireless netwroks. Normally I'd get like 3 or 4 networks... [14:34] BluesKaj, http://pastebin.com/d29a9597 [14:34] faceman, no the .img file for the usb is different than a .iso [14:34] faceman: huh? [14:34] ronald: is your hardware correctly detected there? [14:34] oh crap [14:34] Bodsda, so... ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.the number i want to static and it will be made???? [14:34] Jazzinghen : have you tried start-network [14:35] Hum [14:35] messiah: that will set your IP address for that interface, correct [14:35] cg__: perhaps you should try once again and press it before [14:35] the ubuntu website only has a .iso for powerpc version [14:35] No. How do I do that? Simply sudo start-network? [14:35] Jazzinghen : exactly [14:35] Jazzinghen : try it and reply [14:36] i need to get my ubuntu really safe even from the best of hakers, any know of some really good thorough guides on doing this? right down to iptables, closing down all services, kernel hardening etc etc?

Sound on Linux still seems a complicated mess...! [14:41] Araneidae, the volume applet in the panel ? [14:41] Ah yes. [14:41] * Araneidae is running a bare desktop [14:41] gnome-volume-control? [14:42] all makes sense now :Ć¾ [14:42] Araneidae, which desktop are you using ? [14:42] when I say desktop, I mean WM [14:42] fluxbox at the moment, but I have them all installed (except KDE which made me run away screaming) [14:42] i have no sound on my laptop [14:42] Lol [14:42] help me [14:42] poor KDE :( [14:42] Araneidae: if there is no icons on the flux panel, then use the alsamixer command [14:42] !help | ronald [14:42] ronald: 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. :-) [14:43] dbpatankar: It tells me networking stop/waiting [14:43] Bodsda, nay ;) [14:43] dbpatankar: And nothing changes [14:43] Bodsda, have you tried Zenix ? Flux has controls for volume [14:43] i am still having a fan / noise problem; yesterday one fan started to make terrible noise (only on load); i stoped the fans manually and started the machine; no result; how to determine the fan under load? [14:43] hi there, where can i find usplash for my 9.10 ubuntu to download on the web? [14:43] yo. Flashplugin-nonfree is the oficial adobe libflashplayier.so plugin, or is that something else? [14:43] ibuclaw, I luv kde , runs well on my setup [14:44] Jazzinghen : I think thats the problem [14:44] Really didn't like KDE, too shiny, too complicated [14:44] ibuclaw: ibuclaw no I havent, but I use fluxbox frequently (not atm though) -- I use alsmixer for volume control when i cant be asked to move my hand to my mouse [14:44] dbpatankar: What should I do, then? [14:44] Jazzinghen : your network is unable to start [14:44] * Araneidae has *no* decorations on window, except a one pixel outline [14:44] i dont know why, even when i change the usplash to ubuntu-theme it doesn't work and when i restart, the usplash is from xubuntu [14:44] StR|Sangreal: I believe that is the official one. [14:44] Araneidae, well i find gnome too cartooney [14:45] dbpatankar: But. It worked perfectly fine just until 20minutes ago [14:45] I have a problem with twin screens which I would appreciate help on. After reboot the 2nd screen stops working. I then have to comment out two lines in xorg.conf, restart X, uncomment the lines again, restart X a second time again and then the second screen works properly. A more detailed description of my problem is here http://forum.tuxx-home.at/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=797&p=5252#p5252. I would appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you. [14:45] Jazzinghen : have you changed something after that [14:45] ? [14:45] dbpatankar: I've upgraded to 9.10. Nothing else [14:45] Jazzinghen : may be update? [14:45] JonathanEllis: are you using an nvidia card? [14:45] So i opened up 2 new bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/478379 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/478288 , please see if you can help or have any ideas! [14:46] Bodsda: No its a Matrox G200 [14:46] Jazzinghen : have you rebooted it? [14:46] please help with realtek dvb-t-usb-device [14:46] dbpatankar: yes [14:46] BluesKaj, but Ubuntu is very committed to Gnome, so I have to pick up my tools from gnome, as far as I can tell. [14:46] JonathanEllis: is the xorg.conf file actually changing after a reboot? [14:46] gnome-volume-control, for example [14:46] JonathanEllis: That's a bit old school! Have you tried without any xorg.conf? [14:47] Bodsda: No. I have to manually change it and then change it back again. [14:47] penguin42: old school? its 2 or 3 releases ago [14:47] is it possible to pause a fan just for a sec, to determine its noise? [14:47] Huh. gnome-volume-control didn't like me killing pulseaudio! Think I need a restart... [14:47] Bodsda: I haven't heard of people using Matroxes for years [14:47] JonathanEllis: so nothing is changed, but changing nothing makes it work? sounds odd :) [14:47] most tools are ubuntu-universal anyway , they work on all 'buntu desktops [14:47] Bodsda: Don't get me wrong - they're good cards [14:47] penguin42: oh, I thought you meant editing the xorg.conf file :) [14:47] yea [14:47] dbpatankar: Is it a modules problem? Maybe I should try to download a deb or something like that? [14:48] Araneidae, did you do the check test audio in media settings? [14:48] hi [14:48] penguin42: No I havent. It is Ubuntu 8.04. With a standard xorg.conf as installed, the second output of the card doesnt work at all. [14:48] always when attempting to execute apt-get upgrade, I get this output: http://pastebin.com/d6dc55bc8 (partly translated as it is a German apt-get) [14:48] how can I fix this? [14:48] Jazzinghen : perhaps, wait a minute......... [14:48] BluesKaj, sorry, not with you. Tell me again (sorry) [14:48] I did apt-get upgrade yesterday when the ssh session was closed when processing the python2.5-minimal package upgrade [14:48] so I guess it got interrupted [14:48] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/478379 - I added how i properly installed the stick [14:48] JonathanEllis: OK, so the other thing is I'd make the HorizSync and vertrefreshes ranges rather than fixed values [14:49] i upgraded from 9.04 to .10, my gnone desktop is a bit broken, i seem to be missing the app centre thingy and no way to configure the gdm theme [14:49] JonathanEllis: The other thing which is worth a go is to try a live cd of karmic, just to see if it solves your problem - it's worth a go! [14:49] Bodsda: Its very odd that commenting out the horizsync and vertrefresh lines gets the 2nd screen working in the first place - admittedly at the wrong mode. Then changing them back again gets the screen working correctly. [14:49] Jazzinghen : just try this > "ifconfig eth0 up" [14:49] Araneidae, not sure about gnome media but there must be an audio test check [14:49] Hi! I'm wondering which Video Editing Software do you recommend? [14:49] JonathanEllis: The problem is those horiz/vert lines are a bit broken [14:50] JonathanEllis: It sounds like the settings are too high tbh. That would explain why it is not displying. But the fact that they show after an X restart with the same rates is somewhat confusing [14:50] how long should a normal jaunty --> koala upgrade take ? [14:50] hi [14:50] Well, I manually killed pulseaudio after uninstalling it, so I think I need to restart anyway. BRB [14:50] anyone? [14:50] MrPiracy, took me a few hours [14:50] Can I install ubuntu on my mac pro ? [14:50] Hi! I'm wondering which Video Editing Software do you recommend? [14:50] here must be some apt-get wizards so please give me a hand [14:50] MrPiracy: depends on your connection speed and the speed of your processor. Mine took < 45 mins [14:50] I cannot afford to setup the whole system again [14:50] how can I fix problem when video just stops playing in Karmic? [14:51] To add custom loginscreen, I used to go to sys > adm > login window. It had a tab "local", through which I could add custom.tar.gz. That all seems gone now, how to add this custom gdm (login) screen? (It's not an entire theme, just the login) [14:51] BluesKaj, xfce4-mixer should be sufficient GUI tool for you to use. [14:51] dbpatankar: Done, but nothing has changed. I've noticed a thing: in the ifconfig list there isn't any wlan0... It's like my WiFi PCI card isn't recognized by the system [14:51] rozyx, Kdenlive is a good one [14:51] dbpatankar: But when I call lspci the card is there [14:51] penguin42: I tried Karmic. Then the graphics are totally borked - even with the onboard intel card. Initially I tried setting ranges in those settings but then the monitor just displays 800x600. Specifying the exact mode is the only way I can get it to display 1280x1024. I got the frequency figures from my monitor manual, so they are correct for that mode. [14:51] ard1an: yeah I've tried that one [14:51] Araneidae, Bodsda ... do u see progress bar moving at all? Mine just freezes. [14:52] on my default mixer tracks/device the option there:monitor null output (pulseaudio mixer),null output (pulseaudio mixer) and conexant id 30 (OSS mixer). it is correct? because i have no sound in my laptop.. [14:52] JonathanEllis: That's weird [14:52] MrPiracy: yes, my progress bar was moving [14:52] Araneidae, Bodsda ... trying since last nite, restarted several times [14:52] Jazzinghen : Oh sorry, a big mistake. iwconfig wlan0 up [14:52] ibuclaw, I'm not looking for a mixer , trying to help someone in xfce find an audio check test , for pulseaudio and alsa [14:52] penguin42: Its totally bizarre. Almost like the card needs warming up before it will work [14:52] MrPiracy: which section is it getting stuck on? Can you drop down the terminal section on the window to find out? [14:52] dbpatankar: In the iwconfig list wlan0 doesn't even exist [14:53] Jazzinghen: is this a laptop? [14:53] Bodsda: nope, it gives me the hourglass when i mouse over it, nothing is enabled [14:53] JonathanEllis: Are you running with the Matrox HAL binary? [14:53] dbpatankar: No. It's a desktop PC [14:53] hey guys how I fix the problem with DSL in karmic? [14:53] how can I * [14:53] penguin42: How do I find out? I installed the mga driver from the link I mentioned in my post [14:53] Hi. I'm having difficulty setting up my Saitek x52 joystick on karmic. jscal only detects 3 axes (there are definitely 4 -- a throttle is included -- but some websites claim as many as 11 axes). Also, jscal doesn't respond when the joystick is moved. [14:53] Bodsda: network activity says that there's income of around 120 kbps, but it was like that for the last 2 hrs and nothing changed [14:54] Architect, behind a router? or direct connection to modem ? [14:54] Jazzinghen, did you use ndiswrapper to install a windows driver for your wifi card in a previous version of ubuntu ? [14:54] JonathanEllis: Hmm I can't remember, it's years since I've done Matrox stuff - you should be able to tell from /var/log/Xorg.0.log I think but I can't remember what to look for [14:54] pwd [14:54] MrPiracy: We really need to see some terminal output to try and troubleshoot where the problem lies.

I did something very stupid in Synaptic on my Powerbook G4. When I decided to install the Kubuntu desktop packages in the "mark packages by task" settings, I managed to install the Ubuntu NEtbook Remix one by mistake. Now, when I log into GNOME, the interface is unusable and riddled with artifacts [14:58] dbpatankar: My wireless card has a Texas Instruments ACX 111 chipset [14:59] dbpatankar: If that's going to help [14:59] hello can someone please help me with this http://pastebin.com/d6dc55bc8 [14:59] Bodsda: ok, hang on [14:59] It's trying to use the funky Netbook Remix interface instead of the regular GNOME one. I tried looking for an option to change the default desktop (a la desktop-switcher in 8.10) but I can't seem to find it [14:59] any ideas? [15:00] hi.can u help me?on my volume control the option there: monitor null output (pulseaudio mixer),null output (pulseaudio mixer) and conexant id 30 (OSS mixer). it is correct? because i have no sound in my laptop.. [15:00] tonybaloney867, you used synaptic to install it , so use synaptic to remove it [15:00] is anyone here who ever used apt-get? [15:00] >.> === Guest43851 is now known as Janhouse_ [15:00] Elmaron: repeat with LANG=C command [15:00] Elmaron: yes, quite a few people [15:00] a few times Elmaron [15:00] :) [15:00] Elmaron: what is the command that gives that error? [15:00] ok, then probably someone can help? nkuttler: I'll try [15:00] legend2440: apt-get upgrade [15:01] legend2440: I previously used it through ssh, and the ssh connection got reset [15:01] gnome-disk-utiliy sucks [15:01] that probably killed the upgrade process and now that package seems broken [15:01] Jazzinghen : /etc/network/interfaces [15:01] Elmaron: apt-get install screen, use it next time, now pastebin the english error [15:01] hola. how do I get my system to mount removable media read-write? does it depend on which filesystem it is or anything? how do I change the settings? [15:01] Jazzinghen : is there wlan0 listed? [15:01] dbpatankar: What should I do? [15:01] penguin42: Those frequencies are in the right band for the ones I have entered [15:01] Jazzinghen : vi /etc/network/interfaces [15:01] Elmaron: apt-get -f install [15:01] LANG=C doesn't make the commands English :| [15:02] Jazzinghen : in that file see if wlan0 listed [15:02] JonathanEllis: Yeh but they would have to match exactly; I think you're better putting a range in the config file [15:02] is there a gnome app for taking a picture with your webcam? [15:02] Hello ppli... How do I make the text under the icons in my folders' toolbars to go away?

[15:03] j_j: did you edit the default or the timeout line? [15:03] BluesKaj: I'd be happy to except my interface is so garbled, when I click on, say, System in the UNR interface, it opens up the Internet tab. I can't figure out how to get Synaptic to run to begin with :) [15:03] nkuttler: gives a lot of dependency errors [15:03] incorrect: your welcome [15:03] Ok, removing pulseaudio seems to have done the job [15:03] Bodsda: the timeout [15:03] nkuttler: I tried adding them aswell but it's tons of them [15:03] Araneidae: it always does :) [15:03] Taejo, gconftool-2 --set /apps/notify-osd/gravity --type int 1 [15:03] what I'm thinking is booting into the console and using apt-get remove by hand [15:03] Elmaron: ok, then edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/python2.5-minimal.postinst [15:03] Huh. So what's the best graphical volume control to use? [15:03] ibuclaw: thanks [15:03] any idea about multiple files similarity software ? [15:03] I tried removing the big metapackage for Netbook Remix but it didn't seem to work [15:03] Bodsda: the default 0 means it won't wait any time ? [15:03] tonybaloney867, do you know the exact name of the package you need to remove ? [15:04] j_j: another way is to hold down Shift key at boot to get to menu [15:04] Elmaron: put "exit 0" on the second line. then apt-get remove --purge python2.5-minimal [15:04] j_j: now, I am not entriely sure, but it may need to be quoted: set timeout="10" as that is how the default is done. I'm not sure though as I use grub not grub2 [15:04] penguin42: I tried putting a range in there but then the monitor only displays 800x600.

[15:05] penguin42: Thats the last time I restarted X so that is with the exact frequencies [15:05] dbpatankar: If I knew that maybe I wouldn't have upgraded [15:05] Jazzinghen : I am not sure but you can check it if you have source of the kernel [15:05] I don't know the name of the packages, mostly because I selected the "mark packages by task" option in Synaptic (to install Kubuntu) and I accidentally selected UNR as well === cankoy_ is now known as cankoy [15:06] after upgrading I have lost my sound on ubuntu [15:06] however, I can probably remove them using apt-get remove [15:06] ibuclaw: unfortunately that doesn't work. Setting it to 2 puts it in the middle of the screen (I guess it would be bottom-right on the laptop) which is even worse. Oh well. [15:06] Jazzinghen : Just give a try > sudo ifup wlan0 [15:06] nkuttler: how can I do that without removing the dependencies of python2.5-minimal? [15:06] I tried removing the UNR metapackage, but being a metapackage, it didn't actually remove anything of consequence here [15:06] Hi. I'm having difficulty setting up my Saitek x52 joystick on karmic. jscal only detects 3 axes (there are definitely 4 -- a throttle is included -- but some websites claim as many as 11 axes). Also, jscal doesn't respond when the joystick is moved. [15:06] nkuttler: vital system programs depend on it [15:06] Bodsda: it started with packages starting with "A" and now it's in "D" ... i assume i'll have to wait until "Z" [15:06] dbpatankar: I've done it [15:06] MrPiracy: i would have thought so, yeah :) [15:06] ibuclaw, direct connection, I think, but if you know how to fix on both ways I would like to know both so I would try them [15:07] Elmaron: ah. then try apt-get install --reinstall python2.5-minimal [15:07] what commands make your active windows tile does any1 know [15:07] on the desktop [15:07] actually, no [15:07] dbpatankar: Doesn't work. Seems like Canonical REMOVED ACX modules from their releases [15:07] :( [15:07] *sigh* [15:07] Architect, if you are behind a router, the router sets everything up for you [15:07] Hello ppl... How do I make the text under the icons in my folders' toolbars to go away? How do I make the icons smaller? [15:07] tonybaloney867, yes try : sudo aptitude remove ubuntu-netbook-remix [15:07] Bodsda: well, thx .... i'll post another question here if anything goes wrong ;) [15:07] JonathanEllis: So in that log for the MGA(1) which I think is that monitor there are a load of MGA(1): Not using default mode "1280x1024" (hsync out of range) I'd replace that exact value by a small range - say 60-70kHz [15:07] eddym: see if wmctrl is what your after [15:07] MrPiracy: ok, cheers :) [15:07] Elmaron: Please paste the exact error you get from "apt-get install" and "apt-get -f install" [15:07] see sudo modprobe acx [15:07] dbpatankar: And it seems like they also dropped Ndiswrapper [15:08] JonathanEllis: And the vrefresh by 58-65 [15:08] nkuttler: it worked :))) [15:08] apt-get install --reinstall fixed it [15:08] dbpatankar: I will have to buy a new wireless card... [15:08] babilen: the reinstallation got rid of the error nnow [15:08] seems like I got a working python2.5-minimal again [15:08] dbpatankar: Damn. [15:08] :) [15:08] Elmaron: ok, now check if you got an updated postinst script, you don't want the one you edited [15:08] how do i check my sound card drivers? [15:08] Jazzinghen : see sudo modprobe acx [15:08] Elmaron: Don't forget to finish the rest with "apt-get install" [15:08] Jazzinghen : noooooooo [15:08] Architect, if you are connecting to a modem directly, the network manager should give you the configuration needed for you to get connected. [15:08] bodsda: i run that in terminal [15:08] Elmaron: and, apt-get install screen _now_ and read it's docs and use it [15:08] Short question: Why does ubuntu use apt-get instead of aptitude? [15:08] Jazzinghen : you can simply compile the old kernel [15:09] Jazzinghen : that was having the drivers [15:09] babilen: you can use both [15:09] babilen: Both work, aptitude is newer than apt-get [15:09] Architect, for dial-up style connections, wvdial is usually the favoured way, although I've never personally used direct connection/dial-up. [15:09] Jazzinghen : just download the source code for kernel [15:09] ibuclaw, the thing is I can't connect there. I'm setting my dsl connection exactly as before upgrade and it can't connect. I've heard there is a bug on dsl connection there. I think my connection is not behind a router then [15:09] Bodsda: im back [15:09] mamia, lspci | grep audio [15:09] ibuclaw, yea mine's dial-up style. [15:09] set default="10" doesn't work [15:09] Just installed crunchbang 9.04 on my laptop (Acer Aspire 5520), but the screen resolution is set at 800*600, and I can't change is with lxrandr, I have had the same problem with ubuntu on this laptop in the past, I wasn't too surprised that crunchbang would hold the same issues - I managed to fix it in ubuntu - I can't remember how though, any ideas? [15:09] j_j: ok, good or bad news? [15:09] oh dam [15:10] Bodsda: but , Shift works [15:10] nkuttler: I am very much aware of the differences between apt-get and aptitude and it seems unwise to mix usage of both. Just wondering why Ubuntu encourages users to use apt-get by default [15:10] j_j: ok. You could try asking in #grub they will have a better understanding of the conf file then I do [15:10] does it? [15:10] blueskaj, nothing came back [15:10] ibuclaw, I think the problem is there. wvdial... i'll look for it. [15:10] hello [15:10] Bodsda, what you told me doesn't work; after write what you told me i didn't have internet, and now i re-boot and i have different IP, also my resolution become worse and i don't know why [15:10] Bodsda: yeah. i joined the #grub2. no one was there except a boot [15:10] Bodsda: yeah. i joined the #grub2. no one was there except a bot [15:11] I don't suppose anyone here knows how to increase the buffer on totem? [15:11] j_j: bot's need love too [15:11] j_j: i think it's just #grub [15:11] Bodsda, (and i can't change for better resolution, this is the maximum now, 800x600 Ā¬Ā¬) [15:11] penguin42: lol [15:11] j_j, what grub2 issue do you have? [15:11] anyone know how do I restart my sound without restarting whole computer? [15:11] nkuttler: ok [15:11] bodsda: i dont think that is .. im trying to split my screen for example if i have 4 prgs running on my screen to see 4 prgs at the same time on desktop [15:11] messiah: well, dont blame me if your resolution got borked. I just told you how to change your IP address [15:11] nkuttler: Given the advice given in this channel - yes it seems like Ubuntu encourages users to use apt-get instead of aptitude. Just wonder why [15:11] babilen, it seems both are interchangerable now , dependencies seem to be better handle dwith apt nowadays , altho i still use aptitude. [15:11] ibuclaw: i cannot make it wait for me to select which one i boot [15:11] eddym: ah, not sure thenm sorry [15:12] j_j, in grub2, the new key to press is Shift [15:12] Bodsda, i didn't blame you [15:12] bodsa:np [15:12] NOT Escape, as is used in Grub.097 [15:12] ibuclaw: yes. shift works. timeout means nothing any more ? [15:12] Bodsda, just i tell you what happened [15:12] after upgrading my system to Ubuntu 9.10 my application dock just disappeared. Everytime I minimize a window it completely disappears. can somone help me find my minimize windows? [15:12] messiah: Ok, I am not sure about your res. But the IP address should have changed. run ifconfig to find out [15:13] j_j, iirc, the timeout is either -1 (skip) or 10. [15:13] Bodsda, i did it and it is different one which i set [15:13] I'll look up what value dictates that [15:13] mystery12341: it's one of the gnome applets you can add to the panel, just toy with them for a while you'll find it :) [15:13] ibuclaw: i set the timeout to be 10 [15:13] ibuclaw: but it doesn't wait [15:13] messiah: hmm, perhaps open up the properties through network-manager and see if you can disable dhcp there [15:14] mystery12341: window list is the applet you're looking for. right click the panel then add to panel [15:14] mystery12341: add the 'window list' item back to the panel perhaps? right clck on panel -> add to Panel -> window list [15:14] j_j, /etc/default/grub [15:14] hi :) [15:14] Bodsda, what do you mean network-manager? where is that? i tryed in the top-right Edition, IPv4 manual, but it didn't allow me to click APPLY [15:14] anyone know if i will have any problem using the 64bits version? [15:14] okay, I needed to remove a few additional packages like netbook-launcher and maximus, aside from the ubuntu-netbook-remix metapackage and it seems to be (mostly) working now. I think I can figure it out from here [15:14] j_j: are you editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg or /etc/default/grub file? /etc/default/grub is the one you edit [15:14] j_j, see the line: GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true [15:14] mystery12341: are you interested in an actual dock instead of a panel on the bottom of the screen? [15:14] thanks everyone :) [15:14] Hi Q: does ubuntu provide log rotate automatically? [15:15] anyone know if i will have any problem using the 64bits version? :( [15:15] legend2440: i edit the /boot/xxx . [15:15] ibuclaw: ok [15:15] Hello. I'm trying to configure a Saitek x52 joystick on karmic. jstest doesn't respond to movements at all, buttons are not detected. The joystick is read as a "3 axis, 0 button". Should be "11 axis, 34 button". [15:15] j_j: thats the wrong file to edit [15:15] j_j change that to FALSE, then run: sudo update-grub [15:15] legend2440: i'll try again [15:15] thedoor, yes more work to install flash 10 x64 native alpha [15:15] thedoor: i have no probl4ems with 64bit [15:15] i decided not to use the applet anymore. Id like to just restore everything to default and be able to minimize and maximize windows the normal way. Can someone help? [15:15] thedoor, and more work to installl latest java runtime [15:15] I have no need to use 64bit flash - 32bit works here [15:15] thedoor: I think it's ok now. I am using 64 bits Ubuntu Studio (but is 8.04) [15:16] j_j, with grub2, you must never update /boot/xxx, as settings are lost everytime update-grub is triggered in an upgrade.

Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD [15:27] is Xubuntu really faster than Ubuntu? Someone told me it wasn't [15:27] ooh that's interesting [15:27] HowardtheDuck: it's more lightweight (uses less resources) [15:27] HowardtheDuck: depends on how you defind faster.. :) its proberly a little less cpu/memory intensive [15:28] HowardtheDuck: theres other desktops that are lighter still. but you start loseing features [15:28] I'm receiving an error at startup due to me tv card not being supported, how exactly can i disable the error from appearing?

[15:28] * HowardtheDuck has a laptop with integrated intel video [15:29] james296: i think thats where .deb files you download and install show up. [15:29] I don't suppose anybody has discovered a workaround for the flaky flash amd64 flash plugin [15:29] Tartaros, you heard sound? [15:29] so the installer automatically pulls debs without my knowledge when I first install it? [15:29] And I had some people warn me that Xubuntu is bloated or something and no faster than Ubuntu really. I guess I need something lighter and video requirements [15:29] this is a fresh install [15:29] GnarlyBob: what does "flaky" mean? wfm [15:29] GnarlyBob, what do you mean by that? [15:30] I'm receiving an error at startup due to me tv card not being supported, how exactly can i disable the error from appearing? [15:30] duffydack: which is the hot key [15:30] to make themfit [15:30] ibuclaw: no, and the System Testing window appears hung. But CPU is loaded so I guess it's doing something :D [15:30] flash plugin crashes constantly [15:30] segmentation fault [15:30] GnarlyBob: how did you install it? What version of ubuntu? [15:30] I guess I can just install xfce-desktop [15:30] and see [15:30] GnarlyBob: Chrome?

[15:31] eddym, whatever it says it is/. or whatever you want it to be...i dont use it myself [15:31] where's the channel for Tennessee? i tried #ubuntu-ustn #ubuntu-us_tn but to no avail [15:31] HowardtheDuck: it wont make anything slower [15:32] HowardtheDuck, you will have twice as many apps [15:32] hello there [15:32] 2 lists? theres only one that says Installed (manual) [15:32] HowardtheDuck: Maybe if you run them both simultaneously [15:32] i need to allow automatic login to some students who run their program via scripts only within a specified time [15:32] jrib: ^ [15:32] Out_Cold: Well I thought if I just installed the desktop I'd have that and not the apps too [15:32] ok he said its windows f3 key [15:32] james296: comapre it to 'installed' and 'installed(manual)' the 2 lists are identical as far as i can tell [15:32] does anybody know amy resourses, plugins to Jimp [15:32] what does sr stand for in the /dev/sr0? [15:32] so i guess no one can help me then..? [15:32] all of the systems files are listed on that section [15:32] HowardtheDuck, i think the apps come with. might be different now [15:32] so whats the point of the (manual) section? [15:33] I had a really crashy ubuntu install for a week which got fixed by removign a single 1 of 3 sticks of memory in the system [15:33] which was brand new memory so that surprised me [15:33] is it recomended I re-install to avoid corrupt files?

[15:34] Cananyone help me with jimp??? [15:34] its tripple channel [15:34] Trizicus: it came from "scsr-raw device" [15:34] scsi* [15:34] Hello everyone [15:34] llutz: Is it really raw? I'd have guessed rom? [15:34] hey guys [15:34] penguin42: raw [15:35] and its only 1 of the 3 in tripple channel kit that causes problem so now I have dual channel ram [15:35] well? [15:35] vanishing: hi [15:35] Radical :) [15:35] llutz: thanks remembering the FQN (lol) makes it easier to remember lol [15:35] hmm [15:35] llutz: hmm, why?

[15:35] penguin42: ask those scsi-devs then :) [15:35] Tartaros, it may take a moment whilst it generates information for output. Once your there, follow through the tests. If I recall correctly, most are testing your microphone through different sources, which you can skip. The last test should be the speaker test. [15:36] what's a wave [15:36] BluesKaj, thanks man got my audio working [15:36] is that like cloud computing [15:36] * Out_Cold waves to HowardtheDuck [15:36] penguin42: Most likely because scsi usually uses a card. [15:36] Is anyone here tethered to their Iphone for internet ? I have some proxy questions with applications other than xchat and firefox [15:36] jrib: there does not seem to be any limits on time in limits.conf [15:36] now my last issue, how do i get video to work when streaming? [15:36] VER [15:36] one of my video-games crashes on a particular file, so I prob find that and re-install the package containing that dynamic library [15:36] ver [15:36] nj32: what does "cpu time" do?

[15:37] mynameisdeleted: run them in debug mode [15:37] is there a cd image with all the build-essential packages on it? [15:37] jrib: no idea, i thought it'd be cpu time per process [15:37] Out_Cold: yeah? [15:37] messiah: Use ifconfig [15:37] ramblagir, how do i get it to work with firefox? [15:37] I don't like how the controls and video are different windows in vlc [15:37] anyone have any issues with nvidia 230M where everything looks crisp and perfect, but as soon as you restart gdm, or drop to a shell via alt f-1 etc it goes super fuzzy, looks like static all over the page, can still read it but looks like refresh rate or something is out of whack [15:37] GnarlyBob, im not sure but maybe u can try using 32bit wrapper? [15:37] GnarlyBob, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit.html#comment-150888 [15:37] re-install of 32-bit libs is easier since I'm sure it sone of those [15:37] mamia: well, it depends. what type of video file are you trying to play? [15:37] nj32: isn't that what you want? [15:37] nj32: the livecd has build-essential iirc [15:38] fokuslee302: That was the default configuration, it was unstable too, so I went with trying the amd64 alpha [15:38] im trying to add a terminal shortcut to my panel, but dont know what the name is :( [15:38] GnarlyBob, sorry then i don't know [15:38] jrib: I want the user to be logged out as soon as she has been logged in for 30 seconds (say) [15:38] ramblagir, i want my browser to be able to play most video streams, but i youtube quite alot [15:38] fokuslee302: thanks [15:38] I'm curious if anyone else upgraded to karmic from jaunty, and now have issues with panel buttons not responding to clicks, and having to hit the enter key? [15:39] ibuclaw: looks like I have a rogue sound recorder process still running in the background, gonna try to kill it :D [15:39] mamia: well, for youtube, you need to install some sort of flash player [15:39] mamia: what version are you running [15:39] I am tethered through my iphone for internet via Itunnel . But that requires manually configuring a proxy for firefox and all other applications is there a way to set ubuntu to look to that port for internet ? [15:39] ? [15:39] nj32: erm, ok. But I thought you said the reason for wanting that was so they couldn't run a program for longer than 30 seconds [15:39] ramblagir, jaunty [15:39] Is there a safe way to remove openoffice without trashing gnome [15:39] n0gear: just right click on terminal in the menu and select "add to panel" [15:39] lex_: You should just be able to remove the openoffice packages [15:39] mamia: http://www.ghacks.net/2009/05/04/installing-flash-in-ubuntu-904-with-firefox/ [15:40] Hey I really don't want to start couchdb by "sudo couchdb -b" with root prvileges, any ideas on how couchdb is configured on ubuntu? [15:40] lex_: i dont think so, once you update won't it crash it?

[15:40] nj32: I see, but can't they just log back in? [15:40] lex_: What is the dependency? [15:40] jrib: I keep a track of number of logins [15:41] wrgb: got xubuntu and right click onlt opens it [15:41] anyone have any issues with nvidia 230M where everything looks crisp and perfect, but as soon as you restart gdm, or drop to a shell via alt f-1 etc it goes super fuzzy, looks like static all over the page, can still read it but looks like refresh rate or something is out of whack [15:42] I guess I got a bad tripple channel kit since that other dim isnt detected.. to be safe I'll get new tripple-channel kit and not fiddle with this one any more [15:42] Kaffeine crashes on close segmentation fault :( any ideas? [15:42] penguin42: Okay it worked fine. It used to say that it could not be removed because it depended on other programs.

[15:45] mamia, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [15:45] wrgb: do i look it from /usr/bin? [15:45] wrgb: don't know then -- there's an xubuntu channel -- #xubuntu [15:46] mamia, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [15:46] im trying to change /etc/fstab [15:46] but it says its readonly [15:46] im not logged in as root fwiw [15:46] apparently i should be adding a line to the end of that file to improve security, something about memory sharing [15:46] el-dbean: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:46] el-dbean: its a system file, edit it as root. [15:47] bollocks, they only driver i found to support my ati firemv is not OS [15:47] el-dbean, alt+f2 , gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [15:47] el-dbean: You need to use "sudo nano" or "gksudo gedit" to edit the file as root [15:47] definitely has something to do with the nvidia drivers, if i revert back to base xorg, works fine, when installing any nvidia drivers, it goes bonkers [15:47] el-dbean: in terminal type gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [15:47] wrgb: okay, found bash from /bin/ and ticked the run in terminal and that seems to work [15:47] ever heard of acelerated-x [15:47] I installed adobe reader using .deb what do i do to uninstall it??

[15:48] el-dbean: there is no root password [15:48] el-dbean, yes [15:48] What is a "partial upgrade"? Why does it want to do it? [15:48] !noroot | el-dbean [15:48] el-dbean: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [15:48] !root | el-dbean [15:48] el-dbean: 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 [15:48] [MOB]Trip: http://wiki.winehq.org/regedit [15:48] i enjoy ginger root [15:48] just a pw [15:48] I just installed Ubuntu on an old laptop, everything works great.

[15:50] fuck please help and give me hope, i already paid $300 for the card, now i have to pay $160 for drivers? [15:50] how do i forword ports for Linux ???

[15:50] awnstudio: can you be a little more vague? :) [15:50] el-dbean: if you want to edit fstab in,say, gedit, you need to run it as "sudo gedit" or "gksudo gedit" [15:51] !iptables | ziggy_ [15:51] what part of my comp is making this damn clicking sound? [15:51] ziggy_: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [15:51] Tartaros: where do i even type that? [15:51] Dr_Willis, i suppose I could but why would you ask me to be...?

[15:52] Dr_Willis: /sarcasm, if money was owed would not pay [15:52] unless youve got a firewall running, that is something you change on the router you have, not on the pc [15:52] Dr_Willis, please, help me, you have heard about my trouble, right? can you help me with it please? [15:52] !beer | ReL1K [15:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about beer [15:53] n0gear: usr/lib/x11/rstart/commands/x11r6/terminal brings up a terminal on my Xubuntu, but it's not the same one as in the application menu [15:53] messiah: i just use the network manager tool to set a static ip on 9.10, or make the router (which is the dhcp server) assign the same ip to my machines on the lan.

[15:54] i posted my question earlier, the post you happen to read may only have seemed vague because you didnt see my previous post [15:54] Mka: i opened it from the menu. [15:54] Mka: synaptic is automatically launched as gksudo, if from the default menu. And it shouldn' [15:54] messiah: on ubuntu 9.10 (the latest release) the network manager lets me set a static ip if i want. [15:54] evon: ok [15:54] Mka: and it shouldn't be this angry when run wihout sudo anyway :) [15:54] ne0gear: I found it -- it's "xfce4-terminal" [15:54] alright im moving back to selinux, this version is hosed [15:54] if i upgrade to the new version is there anyway to go back if i lose video [15:55] !downgrade | ziggy_ [15:55] ziggy_: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [15:55] ziggy_: only the hard way :) reinstalling [15:55] ziggy_: No, once you've upgraded, the only safe way to go back would be to reinstall [15:55] so, I just upgraded to ubuntu, and now my mouse doesn't work. also, i automatically logs in to xfce, before upgrading i could chose session in gdm. any hints? [15:55] oh, the gpu fan cord is trying to get jammed in the fan again [15:55] to ubuntu 9.10 [15:55] hi, i'm having problems with my login screen. i'm on ubuntu 9.10 and i have a login screen from xubuntu, and i cant change it! Can you help me please? [15:55] turkeyshoot: duct tape! [15:56] ziggy_: well there may be programs where you can back up everything and restore. someone told me about one, unless they lied, I haven't looked it up on Google [15:56] Paulo39: same thing just happened to me! let's find out why [15:56] so what happens if the update doesn't except my hardware? i'm basicly in a catch 22 with having to format and resinstall ? [15:56] Paulo39: so it still works.. just looks different. so? :) theres a tool called 'epidermis' i saw the other day on a site that can tweak/change the login screen themes and other themes also. [15:56] When setting up kickstart post config script, how can i get the following written verbatim in a file; IPADDR=`ifconfig eth1 | grep 'inet ' | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d\ -f1`? [15:56] Dr_Willis, i don't know, i already used a half roll in place of mounting screws [15:56] Paulo39: how do you know its from xubuntu? how does it look? I couldn't tell if I had it myself, maybe I do :O [15:57] evon: try commenting out any entry in /etc/apt/sources.list (and sources.list.d files if any) and do "sudo apt-get update" [15:57] ziggy_: You can try the Live CD to find out if your hardware should work proerly in 9.10. Also many people have had issues, after upgrading 9.04 to 9.10. [15:57] ziggy_: It would be worth downloading the 9.10 livecd, burning to a cd and booting up using that, it'll let you test your hardware before you upgrade [15:57] ziggy_: clonezilla is good. it will make image of partition and you can restore it if something goes wrong [15:57] evon: after that you can try to re-launch synaptic [15:57] I tried escaping the command quotes using a slash, putting double quotes around them and a few more things but the resulting file never gets written the way i need it.. [15:57] when installing things like xubuntu-desktop or whatever-desktop - those often contain new artwork for gdm and other things. [15:57] ok another qustion sorry guys [15:58] Andyman: use $(command) instead of backticks - it makes it more readable. other then that.. no idea :) [15:58] Does anyone know why my mouse stopped working when upgrading from 9.04 t0 9.10? [15:58] evon: I see the linuxmint line and you say you are running ubuntu 9.04 [15:58] ziggy_: It's a good idea to md5sum check the ISO before burning the contents to CD [15:58] on http://www.focus.com/articles/it-security/big-ol-ubuntu-security-resource/ , it says disable ssh root login, there is no file sshd_config though...only ssh_config ...is that what they mean? [15:58] guys i did the compiz and i set it up now how do i make it rotate for desktop cube what keys [15:58] !md5sum | ziggy_ [15:58] ziggy_: 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 [15:58] even on the officla ubuntu site it says change sshd_config though...

See also Ā« /msg ubotu compiz Ā» and Ā« /msg ubotu effects Ā» [15:58] but say theres an open port going open right now being used and i want to disable that program but i don't know what it is to re enable another on to use the same port [15:58] Dr_Willis: Thanks, i will try that out. And any suggestions for getting [15:58] el-dbean: you may need to install the ssh server. [15:59] eddym, alt+ctrl, then arrow or click and drag [15:59] do i need to?

[15:59] incase you missed it, i have ssh_config not sshd [15:59] i did the install [15:59] but i guess sshd means deamon [15:59] TheTom, Dr_Willis, Tartaros in fact, is just like another usplash screen, blue, with XUBUNTU writed. i have the package xubuntu-gdm-theme installed, but, if i try to remove, synaptic tells me that he have to remove ubuntu-desktop and xsplash [15:59] ... the newlines in 'printf "Listen 127.0.0.1:80\nListen $IPADDR:80\n" >> foo' printed correctly? [15:59] !wm [15:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about wm [15:59] el-dbean: exactly = d = deamon [15:59] that is wicked [15:59] just did the alt crl [16:00] so i deifnately shouldn't add that line to ssh_config? [16:00] arrow that is phat [16:00] eddym, yes it is [16:00] evon: so you are running mint? [16:00] im dizzy ha ha [16:00] Mka: so comment ANY line? [16:00] did that make sence to you ? [16:00] i will never need to remotely connect to my linux box [16:00] Dr_Willis: Yeah, i am lazy, i am trying to create a ks.cfg file which takes away all need for customization after the installation. [16:00] so i can skip that step? [16:00] Paulo39: so don't remove it, just install a different theme [16:00] why would my ubuntu not come with sshd? [16:00] eddym: you can install ccsm to setup compiz in details. There's a lot to play with in there [16:00] ATI hates linux [16:00] Paulo39, http://www.gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=150 [16:00] Tartaros, i have ubuntu-gdm-theme installed too [16:01] smurfslover: did it [16:01] Paulo39: that unofficial program 'epidermis' can change those settings/files with just a few clicks if you really want to change them ---> http://epidermis.tuxfamily.org/ [16:01] el-dbean: xubuntu [16:01] <[MOB]Trip> no difference...

I have done it in 9.04 but I can't now, how can I do it?

[16:03] grawity: ok thanks, but also that one works [16:03] Andyman: ..... [16:03] why would it say do it if its not even in the default ubuntu install? [16:03] grawity: I'm assuming running E17 means xserver is running, right? [16:03] rashed2020: Yes. [16:03] <[MOB]Trip> meh [16:03] jrib: thanks [16:03] Dr_Willis: I somehow doubt it will work though. The problem is that its already executed by the kickseed...

[16:06] :D hi i have two monitors and i want to configure compiz to make one cube for each monitor and be able to rotate them separately. Is this possible? [16:06] eddym: explore the 'keybindings' in the ccsm tool to see what keys enable stuff [16:06] thxs dr [16:07] Alan502: I believe this is dependant on your graphics card. If you have nvidia it should be settable in the nvidia control panel, something like dual desktop [16:07] why dont i see key bindings [16:07] pls dr willis i cant use port 6891 its closed since i did a third party upgrade [16:08] hello [16:08] TheTom: you should be able to change the login thing with Applications > System > Login Screen, but then that might be difficult without a mouse [16:08] asp: check the firewall rules with iptables command. and open it up then i guess. Ive no idea what you mean by 'third party upgrade' [16:08] I can't click on any youtube file with ubuntu 9.10. What should I do for fix it?

[16:10] wrgb: thanks. i did it without mouse, no problem! :) "win"key+f1 to get to the gnome menu [16:10] MichaelKohler: you can re-assign that key to something else [16:10] jrib, SCP: SCP or Secure Copy is protocol (similar to Remote CoPy) that supports encrypted transfer of files. The SCP protocol implements file transfers only. [16:10] Mka: and how? [16:10] Mka: someone just helped me fix it. I removed all the files in /var/lib/apt/lists/ and ran update and it worked. [16:10] dAlfa89_, yes, what i am interested in is rotating each cube separately; is there a way i can do this? [16:10] Alan502: yes that's what I'm speaking about [16:10] wrgb: no alt1 + 1 === Flo`off is now known as Flo`` === DDDDDDDDDDDD is now known as Marcops [16:10] imagitronics: Do you mean network manager [16:10] Enissay: scp or gnome, or maybe filezilla,... scp is always encrypted...

[16:11] ziggy_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:11] MichaelKohler: Use "gconf-editor" and assign a custom shortcut to that combination [16:11] ziggy_: you must use sudo [16:11] i want a graphical interface [16:11] i wonder why neither alsa nor pulseaudio is running though [16:11] kk ty [16:11] Enissay: nautilus is one, probably gftp too [16:11] thanks Mka [16:11] is there detailed information on how to set up manually ubuntu 9.10 (i guess info about 9.04 would be fine too) for people who have never used linux before? [16:11] TheTom: thanks, for that, I became addicted to mice years ago [16:11] halo [16:11] anyone know how to add time to the buffer in totem? [16:11] Alan502: I told you what I know :) [16:11] Alan502, I don't think there is, just a cube on each monitor showing the same thing, rotating in unison \: [16:11] evon: wow, I suspected that but was hesitating it would work [16:12] gjh [16:12] MichaelKohler: you welcome [16:12] Tartaros, dAlfa89_ ok thanks for your help :) appreciated [16:12] wrgb: mice are nice for some things, but they're being used for a lot of things that doesn't fit them well. [16:13] Mka: i didn't actually delete the files. I just moved them to a different directory just in case. thank you for your help though.

I havent tried commenting out the sync lines and restarting X yet. [16:14] dr willis: I have done a port forward for port 6891 but it dosent work [16:15] JonathanEllis: OK, so it's giving the error on the second head of 'insufficient memory for mode' on the 1280x1024 - how much RAM has the card got? [16:15] I just installed a new sound card. What do I need to to in order to get it to work? I am using Ubuntu 9.04 [16:15] penguin42: How do I tell? I was given the card [16:15] sudo chown root:admin /bin/su sudo says no such file or directory [16:15] Ok people, let's work together here. I need my sound an mouse working! I used alsa and had removed pulseaudio before upgrading. Now, neither alsa nor pulseaudio is running. Also, my touchpad ain't working. I'll try with an usb mouse in a second. Please hilight me if you've any hints. [16:15] i am following the guide on http://www.focus.com/articles/it-security/big-ol-ubuntu-security-resource/ , it says tyhat is one of the default settings i should change [16:15] I have forgotten the password for my default keyring on Ubuntu 9.04. Is there any way to recover? [16:15] but there is no such file or directory when i try doing that command [16:16] ibuclaw: should you be interested, I resolved my sound by running "alsa force-reload" :) Thanks for your help anyway :D [16:16] CapeFear: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/switching/installing.html [16:16] el-dbean: that guide may be a little out of date. since 9.10 just came out a few weeks ago. [16:16] penguin42: But that makes very little sense anyway. Remember I did have the card working by doing that workaround. [16:17] JonathanEllis: It might say on the BIOS messages or failing that a google? The messages in the log says it thinks it has 8MB, which I can see it would be running out of - but 8MB seems to be very small even for a G200 [16:17] Mka thank you, i'll check it right away... [16:17] Dr_Willis, i was away, sorry. can you try to help me now? [16:17] Is there any way I can unlock my computer from terminal? [16:17] messiah: about to run to the store to get some cigs for the wife. :) [16:17] Oops! Had alias set wrong; the FreeNode posting was actually me DeanZ1 [16:18] messiah: what was the issue [16:18] JonathanEllis: Actually a google does show they were 8MB, so I'd drop the bit depth down to 16bpp [16:18] since that command doesn't work ..the sudo chown root:admin /bin/su sudo [16:18] does that mean its not a threat anymore in the new ubuntu? [16:18] penguin42: Shall I try commenting out the lines and restarting X to see how that changes things? [16:18] el-dbean: i doubt if its much of a threat anyway [16:18] JonathanEllis: No, set the bit depth to 16 [16:18] og a usb mouse works, but not the touchpad [16:18] el-dbean: you don't need to do anything to make your ubuntu safe, just use your computer [16:19] nobody experienced any of this? [16:19] JonathanEllis: 24bpp is probably using 4 bytes/pixel (it's rare to use 3) - so 1280x1024*4 is more than 4MB - so you aren't going to fit two of those [16:19] thats not what https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StricterDefaults?action=show&redirect=UnsafeDefaults suggets [16:19] el-dbean: id consider using commands from some 'site you found on the internet without knowing what they do' more of a threat [16:19] except from me and wrgb [16:19] they are not off a random website [16:19] Test [16:19] its from the official ubuntu [16:19] el-dbean: there are caases where a user may need to use su also [16:19] el-dbean: link? [16:19] penguin42: I dont know how to set the bit depth. I can google it, but if you know offhand... [16:20] TheTom: you're right, I guess I'm too lazy to learn shortcuts - did you update with the usb mouse plugged in === YDdraigGoch is now known as WelshDragon [16:20] JonathanEllis: You have a few lines in your .conf that say 24 - switch those to 16 [16:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StricterDefaults?action=show&redirect=UnsafeDefaults [16:20] "su" program available to non-admin users [16:20] it recommends doing this: [16:20] el-dbean: did you read the first paragraph?

[16:20] the first line doesn't work [16:20] el-dbean: sudo chown root:admin /bin/su sudo [16:20] that has an extra sudo at the end it seems === orion_ is now known as Guest80464 [16:20] it says sudo doesn't exist [16:21] I just installed a new sound card. What do I need to to in order to get it to work? I am using Ubuntu 9.04 [16:21] el-dbean: becase that site has a typo :) [16:21] Dr_Willis, you are a good housband hehehehe... i want to set an static IP but i have tryed with some ways and it didn't work... :( i don't know why === usser_ is now known as usser [16:21] el-dbean: either it means use /bin/sudo or it means that sudo is a mistake at the end.. [16:22] el-dbean: ive seen users accidently lock them selfs out of their systems by trying to lock things down. good luck and be carefull [16:22] i dont understand your sentence [16:22] are you saying there is a typo in that ubuntu page [16:22] I am new to Ubuntu and I have 9.10 installed. I am trying to install a program called Cinelerra, it's a movie editing program with the features I need. Anyway, I downloaded cinelerra-4.1-ubu_9.04.tar.bz2 but down't know how to install it. can someone help me please? [16:22] el-dbean: sudo chown root:admin /bin/su sudo <--------------- the last sudo seems to be a misstake [16:22] Dr_Willis, i have tryed this command "ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.XX" and it didn't work, ysterday i tryed to write some lines in the file interfaces and it worked, but then (when i was sleeping) i come to the computer when i wake up and it was something like re-boot and i didn't have inet connection, so i deleted what i wrote and i had internet but not my ip static, but the strange thing is that it worked when i did it [16:23] I'm completely confounded as to why anyone needs to mess with the permissions of the su executable to get a root shell [16:23] messiah: you did use a proper # instead of XX ? [16:23] el-dbean: "Be warned that these recommendations are not always a good idea, as they can cause usability trade-offs that the Ubuntu Security Team has traditionally not agreed with." It doesn't really make sense for you to be executing these commands if you don't understand them. [16:23] penguin42: Silly of me, I didnt notice that. I will try rebooting now. [16:23] * Dr_Willis agrees with jrib 1000000% [16:23] From there enter the commands: [16:23] sudo chown root:admin /bin/su sudo [16:23] ..another site says this too [16:23] its definately a typo [16:23] thanks for the tip jrib [16:24] el-dbean: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:24] if I use wine .. do windows viruses attack my ubuntu? [16:24] ill take my chances [16:24] el-dbean: don't do that [16:24] el-dbean: good luck [16:24] Elixir_, that's right [16:24] hi i cannot connect to the internet propperly servers keep refusing my connection - suddenly [16:24] albert__ : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-source-files-in-ubuntu.html [16:24] Elixir_, no viruses [16:24] Dr_Willis, yes of corse hehehehe it worked when i did it and restarted the networking, but don't know why when i went to sleep something failed and re-boot [16:24] what do you sugget line should be? [16:24] dbpatankar: Thank you! [16:24] albert__: unpack it somewhere and then you will probably find the instructions in some readme file. But first, know that .tar.bz2 is usually a source archive, are you sure they don't public binari packages? [16:24] el-dbean: do you even have other users on your system? === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [16:24] Dr_Willis, i was moving some files, maybe that was the problem? if i do the same maybe it will work again? i mean editing interfaces file [16:24] el-dbean: remove the last sudo. and the command works [16:25] what exactly does that command do [16:25] el-dbean: the only reason you can't get a root shell in ubuntu is because there is no root password [16:25] el-dbean: and there is generally no good reason for a user to want a root shell anyway [16:25] Elixir__: you're getting opposit answers because virus's will attack wine installed apps but won't effect ubuntu [16:25] Tartaros, I'm not sure. This is all new to me. I really wanted to get away from Microsoft [16:25] ok thats good to know, did i ask that though? [16:25] el-dbean: it changes the owner/group - if you dont know that - then you proberly shouldent be messing with it. [16:25] el-dbean: but if you absolutely must must have a root shell, simply 'sudo bash' [16:25] albert__ : Ya , I too first suggest to look for binary (.deb) package [16:25] blaat [16:26] so now its in the admin group, not the root group... [16:26] what is the difference between sudo chown root:admin /bin/su sudo [16:26] and sudo chown root:admin /bin/su ? [16:26] Dr_Willis: It didn't work, but i some googling points to using a different interpreter to prevent kickstart from executing a subshell or stuff between command quotes. So i will try that instead. [16:26] el-dbean: no, don't mess with permissions on su [16:26] Hi i have installed startup manager and i can not check the box saying use background image for bootloader menu, why is that? [16:26] el-dbean: sudo at the end is not a proper path to a file.. so it dont work [16:26] * GnarlyBob boggles [16:26] el-dbean: same as just ading random garbage to the end. :) [16:26] dbpatankar: I looked around their download page but couldn't find one [16:26] Dr_Willis, yes of corse hehehehe it worked when i did it and restarted the networking, but don't know why when i went to sleep something failed and re-boot; i was moving some files, maybe that was the problem? if i do the same maybe it will work again? i mean editing interfaces file [16:26] do you recommend i get rid of the sudo and run that command then? [16:27] chmod 04750 /bin/su is the second line it says after that [16:27] albert__ : Oh...... OK just go through the steps in the page provided. [16:27] does that further confirm your suspciouns that the "sudo" word at the end is a mistake, since its chmodding on su? [16:27] el-dbean: if you are so paranoid and want to do it.. YES you remove the sudo.. i said so 4x allready [16:27] el-dbean: very very strongly recommended not to mess with the permissions of /bin/su - there is _no_ need to do so [16:27] dbpatankar: Thank you! I will [16:27] albert__ : revert back in case of problem [16:27] penguin42: Still the Samtron doesnt work. Here is xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/f7a680b2e. Here is xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/f17f24eab [16:27] el-dbean: and you will only break things in a completely unpredictable manner [16:27] el-dbean: i really suggest spending the time readding up on shell basics and linux command line tutorials. [16:27] JonathanEllis: It's fighting! [16:27] "This is not necessarily a problem alone, but if there are accounts with weak passwords on the system a malicious non-admin user (or malicious software they are using) might use su to gain access to such accounts. To deny non-admin users access to su, type this in a terminal: " is apparently the reason... [16:28] As a real Untunu newbie, any suggested reading? [16:28] el-dbean: and how many users are on your suystem> [16:28] just 1 and root [16:28] el-dbean: is it on a business network or somthing? [16:28] el-dbean: I don't really understand the issue, I have access to the su command. Just that by default, the root password is not available [16:28] el-dbean: so.. this all iss rather pointless if its juyst YOUR machine [16:28] albert__: well, at first did you go thru the packages that Synaptic offers you ? or the Softweare center for that matter? Those are applications more or less maintained by Ubuntu creators or it's community, and they're usually really easy to install - with just one button in the package aplication [16:28] but it also says malicious software, id rather take all steps possible to improve security [16:28] AJH101: ubuntu pocket reference guide.. available as a free pdf download [16:28] penguin42: Sorry? How do you see that so fast when I have only just managed to open the link :-) [16:29] hi all, i have to do a reinstall and i'm wondering if there's a way to create a new partition to install onto, transfer my files from the old partition to the new partition, then format the old partition and attach it to make one full sized partition. anyone know if this is possible? [16:29] JonathanEllis: OK, weird it's saying the second head only has 2MB RAM and thus 1280x1024x(16/8) still doesn't fit - I don't know the card to know if that's really true [16:29] GnarlyBob: he's following some link he found on how to make ubuntu more secure [16:29] el-dbean: i doubt if you are going to gain anything at all. [16:29] scunizi: Thanks! [16:29] so i just got home and my screen keeps moving w/ my mouse [16:29] jrib: thanks for the clarification, I misunderstood [16:29] el-dbean: This is now indows...... [16:29] el-dbean: dont do things as root that you dont need to do. thats how to keep thing secure. [16:29] as if the screen is 1/2 inch bigger that the monitor === ben is now known as ZooK [16:29] screen displaying is 1/2 inch bigger than monitor [16:29] Tartaros, Yes, but I need something that I can add my own subtitles, video effects and transitions easily [16:29] JonathanEllis: Mostly because I'm precognisent - now put that chocolate biscuit down [16:29] and when i move the mouse it moves the screen to display the missing 1/2 inch [16:30] how do i turn this off/ [16:30] Jerusalem420_: try a couple iterations of ctrl alt + [16:30] Jerusalem420_: or ctrl alt - [16:30] Jerusalem420_: your screen res and montiro res are set differently some how, thats an old 'feature' of X that allowed for higher res 'desktops' on smaller monitors.. Not seen it in ages. :) [16:30] happyhessian: basically what you're describing is a seperate /home partition.. a lot of us do this automatically.. if you have room to create a new partition do that.. then copy all your data to it.. reinstall and while installing use manual partitioning and name that partition as your /home.. you data (done right) will remain intact.. backup for safety [16:30] Jerusalem420_: i useed it years ago to edit large images on a little monitor [16:31] wrgb: i got it [16:31] coz & scunizi thanx to much [16:31] albert__: can't really help you with choosing the right software :) and I can't even seem to displa the web of the Cinelerra thing, so I dunno :) [16:31] had to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to boot the newest kernel. no my touchpad and sound works [16:31] Elixir_: np :) [16:31] Hi. How do I install a 2.6.28 kernel on karmic, rather than the stock default 2.6.31? 31 had some regression in it that I'm trying to resolve. [16:31] wrgb: that might be the solution for you too [16:31] scunizi: thanks, it does seem smarter to keep your home on its own partition [16:31] JonathanEllis: OK, lets just see if this works (even though it won't be pretty) - try taking it down to 8bpp - that should fit the RAM [16:32] TheTom, Dr_Willis, Tartaros i decided to uninstall xubuntu-gdm-theme and then reinstall ubuntu-desktop and xsplash. It worked, i dont have the xubuntu splash screen anymore. But i have another problem. (just a note, i installed epidermis, changed some things but i get no result:S) my big problem now is that since i upgraded to karmic, my start-up is slower. it spent more than 40seconds, after the grub menu [16:32] hi, how can i changed the permision to this directory so all the users can read it? lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 2009-11-08 17:26 voicemail -> /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/ [16:32] hi guys, is it a good idea to replace the change the apt sources on hardy to lucid to get newer versions? [16:32] Hi! [16:32] penguin42: I dont think thats true (I mean the 2MB not the precognition) as the card has been working in the past. I was running Ubuntu Studio 8.04 previously. Initially I just copied the xorg.conf from that install but that didnt work in desktop Ubuntu 8.04. There the problem I had was that output 2 would boot up in a low resolution but it would work properly after restarting X. So I just got into the habit of restarting X immediately after booting [16:32] anyone run into issues with 9.10 where installed nvidia drivers work great until you either restart gdm, or drop to a shell via altf1, it gets all distorted and fuzzy until you reboot? [16:32] when, on jaunty, it would spent about 15/20 seconds [16:32] I have an integrated Intel audio chipset (using the snd_hda_intel module), and whenever the speakers are not in use (not listening to anything) I hear a lot of hissing and "activity" inside the laptop, such as the hard drive activity. However, this hissing stops when I am playing audio. How can I tell the OS to "turn off" the soundcard when it's not in use? Muting does not fix this issue. [16:32] happyhessian: if you have another drive it can also be an entire drive.. like me :).. I have a drive that's 300gigs .. the whole thing is /home dedicated. [16:32] Tartaros, http://heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php [16:33] Godfather_: Looks like it's world readable ... [16:33] JonathanEllis: OK, so try it in 8bpp first to see if that works, the other alternative is a suggestion of adding 'VideoRam 8192" in the Device section for the 2nd head [16:33] penguin42: Thing is the reason I am using two screens is for desk top publising. 16bpp is bad enough but 8bpp will be unusable [16:33] Paulo39: i got some bug with epidermis on this box now.. not ssure whats going on with it. :) its a neat tool. [16:33] Godfather__ : the current permissions can do that [16:33] okays [16:33] anyone familiar with wordpress installation on virtual machine [16:33] ? [16:33] Oh, Godfather, do an "ls -l /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail". [16:33] kris__, You don't have permission to access /voicemail on this server. [16:33] kris__, its a ln -s [16:33] in the software sources dialog box in system administration, do you suggest checking "proposed updates"? [16:33] Godfather_: that is a link [16:33] i tried changing the permision from /var/spool. .. [16:33] flan_suse: Unfortunately, I really don't think you can. I'm guessing you'll have the same issue with any OS / drivers. [16:33] I want to edit crontab but when i saved it show me: Error: No space left on device [16:33] Godfather_: do a chmod on the target [16:33] but i have 234 MB free space. what i do? [16:34] Godfather_: Ya. It looks like the link itself is readable, but the destination is not. [16:34] Paulo39: ok, il try to remove and install the packages you did, and then reboot. my boottime is also considerably longer than before upgrade! [16:34] Dr_Willis, ok, anyway, is not a big problem for me. now i am surprised with this bad performance on start-up [16:34] Bodsda: are u still there? [16:34] Unfortunately, it's just poor chipset design. [16:34] MrPiracy: indeed [16:34] Paulo39: i never upgrade.. only clean insttalls.. and i get 2+ week uptimes on my machines.. so a extra 30 sec to boot.. means nothing to me. ;) [16:34] MrPiracy: hows it going? [16:34] What i do?:-( [16:34] ziesemer: I noticed that if I add "snd_hda_intel" to the blacklist under /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf that this will fix it, however, I need to comment it out and reboot if I wish to enable audio again. [16:34] Godfather_: try "chmod 755 /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail" [16:34] Alinn: maybe.. sudo apt-get clean will free enough space in / to make it work [16:35] penguin42: Should that be "Option ļ»æVideoRam 8192"? Does it matter where in the Device section that comes? [16:35] albert__: yeah seems you're right, unless you have 64bit system, you need to build from sources yourself... so just check the web about compiling as seen in the previous post from someone here :D [16:35] kris__, drwxrwx--- 3 asterisk asterisk 4096 2009-11-08 16:44 testmail [16:35] Mka, i tried it, but no succed. [16:35] scunizi: i have a 500G but it's already full. now i need to do a reinstall on my 150G which has ~70G free. [16:35] Bodsda: it keeps repeating ... tries to convert a lot of packages from ftp.debian.org, a few errors appear, then it just starts all over again [16:35] !list [16:35] Any OPs here? [16:35] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type Ā« /msg ubottu !bot Ā» [16:35] ziesemer: It seems like the soundcard is "activated" and the laptop has poor grounding or something, so I was hoping I could "turn off the soundcard" with a command or something. [16:35] Godfather_: that is not world readable [16:35] Dr_Willis, how do you safe all your apps and configurations when you make a clean install? [16:35] sblunix: try #ubuntu-ops if you need to talk to the ops [16:35] penguin42: I dont know why I asked about Option. Presumably you would have said if that was the case but does it matter where that statement comes in the device section? [16:36] sblunix: quite a few. More can be found in #ubuntu-ops [16:36] Mka, i know, thats why im here. [16:36] happyhessian: you could use the 150 to install the system and use the 500 as /home [16:36] gnarly and bob, where do i do this ctl alt + or -? [16:36] TheTom, ok, good luck, it's strange, the thing about boot time... [16:36] JonathanEllis: Apparently no 'option' - just VideoRam 8192 - but I'd also take the card out or check the boot messages to see if it's really 8mb or if you have the 16mb one [16:36] Mka, kris__ , http://pastebin.com/m5b6d49d9 [16:36] MrPiracy: Thats not something I have come across before I am afraid. I think a clean install would be best [16:36] Godfather_: "sudo chmod 744 /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail". [16:36] Paulo39: i backup my home to a usb drive or keep it on its own parittion.. and i save what few configs i need also.. [16:36] Paulo39: i just reinstall the apps. [16:36] kris__, i'm root [16:36] scunizi: Oh!it worked! Thanks a lot :-D [16:36] at the moment "important security updates and recommended updates" is selected, should i choose "proposed updates" too? [16:36] Tartaros, That's what I'm trying to do now.. I CD into the directory and ran ./configure and it comes up No such file exists [16:37] Paulo39: easier to do it under linux then it is under winows by 1000000x [16:37] * kris__ scolds Godfather_ ;-) [16:37] kris__, see my pastebin [16:37] wrgb: still got problems? [16:37] I have another question here, since i upgraded, my thunderbird plugin for calendar, just crashed, does anyone here have thar problem? [16:37] Godfather_: Looking now. :) [16:37] Godfather_: be recursive [16:37] ok [16:37] Dr_Willis, if you aptoncd you just back up the installed apps to reinstall [16:37] Bodsda: here, have a look http://pastebin.org/51888 [16:37] Dr_Willis, yes, its easier [16:37] Out_Cold: i dont want to bother :) [16:37] easier if you have lots of apps [16:37] albert__: well then either you're in the wrong directory or it's not a standard source tarball, then it should have it's own instructions === hardy-l is now known as fossclub [16:37] I have a little script that apt-get instlls' the sstuff i normally alwyas install.. so i run it on a clean install and go cook supper. [16:37] Mka, what? [16:38] Hello ;) [16:38] penguin42: OK. I will check that. Will it come in the boot messages from the BIOS before grub starts or do I need to remove the "quiet" option in grubs menu.lst? [16:38] Bodsda: it goes up to "Z" then it starts again [16:38] Godfather_: chmod -R 755 /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail [16:38] Alinn: :). space left for your personal files is different from space that is in your / or root partition.. I don't know your formatting sceem but if you setup separate partitions then that contributed to this issue.. [16:38] Maybe someone got a sec for me? :> [16:38] JonathanEllis: Most video cards put a banner when they start - right at the beginning [16:38] at the moment "important security updates and recommended updates" is selected, should i choose "proposed updates" too? [16:38] Mka, no changes. [16:38] !ask| Schalla [16:38] :( [16:38] Schalla: 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. :-) [16:38] el-dbean: sure why not.. flip a coin... see what it does if you enable it... [16:39] Okay :) [16:39] Dr_Willis, i would like to have a separate partition with my home, do you know how can i do that now? or it's really suggested to just do that on a clean install? [16:39] albert__: http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php has Ubuntu packages, I suggest you wait till that site becomes online. [16:39] i assume in the automatic update section if i choose install security updates without confirmation that means it will download AND install without confirmation? [16:39] scunizi: :) [16:39] Mka, kris__ , http://pastebin.com/m30104e0e [16:39] Paulo39: find a partitio/drive somewhere.. move home files over to it. mount it to /home in /etc/fstab [16:39] anyone run into issues with 9.10 where installed nvidia drivers work great until you either restart gdm, or drop to a shell via altf1, it gets all distorted and fuzzy until you reboot? [16:39] Tartaros, http://paste.ubuntu.com/313411/ [16:39] Godfather_: Looks like you got it. [16:39] MrPiracy: could you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list please [16:40] Okay, my problem is that I updated my Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 9.10. After that, no GNOME. Just terminal... So i tried to reinstall gnome (sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop), nothing. Reinstalled HAL, nothing, Reinstalled Xorg, nothing... I don't got a idea what I could do else. [16:40] =( [16:40] Schalla: Sounds like video drivers [16:40] cankoy, I do a lot of video editing so I really need the functions this offers [16:40] kris__, looks like, but im getting You don't have permission to access /voicemail on this server. [16:40] Godfather_: Lol. [16:40] I just updated my Hardy using the updater in the system notification area. My firefox started working weird as soon as I did so I rebooted, which was required anyhow. When I booted back up I managed to sign in fine but Gnome was acting funnyā€”The Applications, Places, System, and launchers on the top bar never worked after allowing plenty of time to load up, and nothing appeared in the system notification area. [16:40] I force-reloaded gdm and now I can actually do thing, but many things (Firefox, xchat, gnome-terminal) won't successfully launch. [16:41] Godfather_: I think the file system permissions are fine, but it looks like a software problem. [16:41] penguin42: I dont even see anything from the Dell bios on boot up now. [16:41] Dr_Willis, i'l see that, thanks [16:41] Godfather_: Are you sure that your voicemail server is configured correctly? [16:41] brb [16:41] kris__, what? [16:41] Hm. Okay.... It's just a simple Onboard VGA Videocard [16:41] hi [16:41] i can access the directory by cd /var/www/voicemail [16:41] JonathanEllis1: Hmm, try it with that line forcing the video ram for the 2nd head to 8MB - that's got a fair chance [16:41] A realy old office graphiccard because its a Acer Aspire 1300. [16:41] albert__ : perhaps there is nothing more to do. Just make all the files in cinelerra executable. [16:41] Bodsda: http://pastebin.org/51890 [16:41] There's a command to check the graphicdriver? [16:42] Godfather_: I think that the filesystem permissions are correct. I'm wondering if your voicemail server is presenting other problems. [16:42] Mka, kris__ , can i put you by privmsg the direction to my webserver so you can see it? [16:42] dbpatankar, how do I do that? [16:42] Sure. [16:42] penguin42: I already tried the videoram line and now at boot the second screen is working. Cant tell what resolution yet but the monitor say 64.9kHz and 60Hz [16:42] can anyone see this message [16:42] JonathanEllis1: Oh cool - so sorted?

[16:43] Godfather_: my network connection did a reset, did you finally solve your problem? [16:43] MrPiracy: Erm, could be. Thanks^ [16:43] penguin42: But I dont think thats a standard mode for the monitor. It looks wider than 1280 [16:43] dbpatankar, Thanks, I'll give that a shot [16:43] MrPiracy: Sorry, I mean an ls of that directory [16:43] Guest76973, ? [16:43] ahh [16:43] albert__ :then run ./cinelerra [16:43] JonathanEllis1: Hmm - have you got the new log ? [16:43] you are mka ? [16:43] MirPiracy: It says that the application isnt installed...

It's still a source tarball, he's just clueless. [16:45] MrPiracy: "sudo aptitude install xorg-driver-fglrx" could fix it?

Gimme a sec [16:46] dbpatankar: Tartaros: Thank you both for helping [16:46] dbpatankar: then again, maybe it's not source, but then I have no idea what it is :) [16:46] kris__: you should be able to use those directions (juts pull the right kernel version) [16:46] Bodsda: ok [16:46] jrib: Thank you. === ice is now known as Guest44245 [16:46] JonathanEllis: My reading of that is I think it's trying to use 1680x1050 - can you just show me your config file again? [16:47] penguin42: It definitely looks wider than 1280. I made a new image with GIMP sized 1280 by 1024. Zoomed it to 100% and it doesnt fill the full screen width [16:47] sebsebseb: its the only way of talking to my partner [16:47] @MrPiracy: Thats a good question... Its a freakin old graphic card.... But it worked without download driver, so with the basic drivers [16:47] dbpatankar: Thank you for the help [16:47] I must go fast down to the fritzbox, wlan dont work without GUI (Dont ask me why..)

[16:50] <[MOB]Trip> hey other day i was tryin watch a divx movie right...now apparently the linux firefox got its own dvix player right..vid loaded cool...hit play...it played right...but when i hit pause to allow the movie to load....it stopped..instead of pause...so....how2can fix? [16:50] error: tk8.4.18 make failed in installing ns2 [16:50] albert__: yeah but on the site you posted, I only saw "source" or "ubuntu 64bit" - so was it this you downloaded? the 64bit package? [16:50] Kackle: same thing happened to me and I had to burn another disk at a the slowest speed [16:51] Kackle: You probably dont need to download it again. One moment while I find the md5 instructions for you [16:51] MrPiracy: run this sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade{,.old} [16:51] !md5sum [16:51] 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 [16:51] Ubuntu 64 bit [16:51] switchgirl: Jabber :) all people need for that is for example a @gmail.com or @googlemail.com email address and there's a built in chat, but for Windows I would recommend Google Talk for that. Jabber is also open source :) === Chazz is now known as Chazz|AFK [16:51] scunizi: yes. still no luck. The weird thing is that X seemes to be running, but on the screen there's nothing appearing. [16:51] Tartaros: Ubuntu 64 bit, but I thought I seen something about running on 32 bit [16:52] shazzr: do you have ati graphics? [16:52] no. it's a matrox card. [16:52] switchgirl: Pidgin isn't that great with MSN really, and Empathy is pretty new so probably not that great with it at the moment either. So it's worth trying programs such as AMSN and Kmess. [16:53] /join #ubuntu-uy [16:53] Bodsda: now how do i stop this screen to restart updating?? [16:53] scunizi: No, it's a Matrox Mystique one. [16:53] MrPiracy: after that, run this << sudo apt-get install --fix-broken && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade >> [16:53] shazzr: old card? matrox mellinium? version? etc.. [16:53] Tartaros: should I have downloaded source code? [16:53] penguin42: Whoopee! Now I have both screens at 1280x1024 after booting. Looks like it needed telling how much memory it had. Now the HP is running at 75HZ which is faster than necessary. How would I switch it to 60Hz to save high frequency losses in the monitor cable. I dont need that fast a refresh as its an LCD not a CRT [16:53] <[MOB]Trip> RAWR [16:53] MrPiracy: what screen? [16:53] <[MOB]Trip> rage quit [16:53] Bodsda: update manager [16:53] MrPiracy: bring the terminal up and press ctrl+c [16:53] Hello, does anyone know of a way to set a universal proxy for Ubuntu. I am tethered to my iphone via SSH and it requires me manually configuring a proxy for every Application i use for it to connect to the internet . [16:53] Bodsda: it is open and disabled [16:53] albert__: if you have 32bit CPU then 64bit software is not for you. You need to download the sources and compile them, or wait for the home page of this program to go online and then look there for suitable packages [16:53] scunizi: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 1064SG [Mystique] (rev 02) [16:54] Bodsda: i did it, the terminal is gone but the update manager screen is still here === Axis is now known as ph33r [16:54] JonathanEllis1: Cool; just like you set a vertrefresh range for the samtron set a similar range for the HP, just set it to say 58-65 [16:54] MrPiracy: ok, bring up another terminal, type xkill and click on the app [16:54] penguin42: I will also try removing the card to see if its labelled with the amount of RAM. It would be better to use 24 bpp as I am using this machine for desktop publishing and photo editing [16:55] Bodsda: hehe, nice like app ;) [16:55] Tartaros: Thanks, I feel stupid because this is all new to me. I appreciate your patience [16:55] dan_: the application can't be subliminally forced to use a proxy if it doesn't look in a common place, but you can capture outgoing ports such as 80 with iptables [16:55] JonathanEllis1: I guess you could just try putting a VideoRam 16384 in both sections and see if it works [16:55] shazzr: there's lots of references for that or simalar cards using google.. for a google search use www.google.com/linux then search "MGA 1064sg ubuntu".. see what kind of references you get .. I suspect you dont have the right driver loaded. [16:55] penguin42: I was just about to say that. [16:55] dan_: you may be able to set a SOCKS_PROXY env var or something which some apps may respect.. [16:56] desktop suites like gnome and kde may have some common settings for certain apps [16:56] albert__: it's all right to be confused if you just start with linux ;) that's why this irc is here :) [16:56] Tartaros, Thank you again! [16:57] MrPiracy: its really useful :) [16:57] bitmonk: I cant even use "add/remove applications" software because its not configured to use a proxy [16:57] what does chmod 0700 do? [16:57] hello [16:57] !permissions > el-dbean [16:57] el-dbean, please see my private message [16:57] Hi. I have just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a HP Laptop with Broadcom wireless network. I noticed a message mentioning this during installation and tried following some instructions that I googled. Most instructions seemed outdated so I'll drop the question here. How do I get my Broadcom Wireless Network to work now after installing Ubuntu 9.10? [16:57] el-dbean: Makes a file or directory read/write/executable by only the owner [16:57] scunizi: The computer is one I set up for my mum, and when I left home, it worked. Then all of a sudden it went black. I also tried to do a dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver...but that didn't work either. [16:57] ,how can change the OSS mixer to ALSA mixer? === wertik_rus is now known as wertik_rus|off [16:57] bitmonk: the iphone uses port 3023 127.0.0.1 i configured xchat and firefox to use them so i can get internet on those but on nothing else i actually need internet on lol [16:58] dan: you don't need to add or remove any applications to use the technique i described.. i understand your frustration but, an app is an app. search the wiki for info on proxy for ubuntu specific apps esp.. [16:58] what do you think about this comment "<+leftyfb> securing your home directory to 0700 on a laptop that you only use that doesn't have ssh install is also pointless" ? [16:58] Q: i want to change grub resolution how do i find out which mode is selected? [16:58] hi, im having problems with playing videos and sounds on my ubuntu desktop computer, when ever i try to play some movies or sounds my player crashes,.. any ideas? [16:58] el-dbean: if its a single uyser system - its pointless [16:58] for the add/remove stuff you might want to see if you can configure apt to use a proxy.. [16:58] hi [16:58] el-dbean: It's correct - the chmod protection is only against someone else on the system, if it's only you there is no one to protect against [16:58] Bodsda: hmmmmmm, now it is running the last command you gave me ... fixed broken and now it's doing the ftp.debian.org again [16:58] el-dbean: most of those security things are pointless for a single user system [16:58] albert__: np [16:59] upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 from 9.02 broke my build environment. Now I have a bunch of links in /usr/lib that are stale, that havent been removed and re-linked to the new versions. Is there an easy fix? [16:59] el-dbean, its not pointless [16:59] bitmonk: well my main concern in all honesty is not having to configure each app individually to use a proxy :\ [16:59] be careful, btw, about what you use on the tethered connection, at&t is known to terminate for tethering, which is a tos violation.. [16:59] k [16:59] mtie aswell do it anywa [16:59] y [16:59] el-dbean: and they overlook things you MIGHT really want to do to secure a systen whos biggest security risk is that it may get stolen. [16:59] looking for 64 bit printer drivers [16:59] dan_: i gave you as much info on that as possible above, 2 or 3 potential solutions.. [16:59] hello [16:59] Hello All. When I ran the live disk, ubuntu was able to identify and install the propriettary drivers I needed. However, after installing the OS to my harddrive, when I go to administration>Hardware Drivers the list is blank. [16:59] MrPiracy: I am out of ideas then im afraid. I saw one mention of it on the mailing list, but no resolution. [17:00] hello [17:00] solmonpale, it may be a bug, try running sudo apt-get update [17:00] hi everybody [17:00] i use the 9.04.,i dont have audio sound.help me please... [17:00] solmonpale, and checking again [17:00] I need some help [17:00] usser: Thank You. Will do. [17:00] What does it mean, if I have a black screen with a white mouse pointer and my keyboard is blinking two lights (the lights on the right) [17:00] bitmonk: By capturing outgoing ports you mean redirect common ports to 3023 ? [17:00] you're going to have to do some work either way, though. if you don't want to think about how your computer works, get a mac or install winbloze and hire a professional. regardless of the popularity and increasing quality of f/oss, the inherent diversity means for 100% sure there will never be settled on One And Only One way to do anything.. [17:00] can somebody help me plz [17:00] Frozenball, kernel panic [17:01] through.. [17:01] @ronald : what device of u'r sound? type lspci [17:01] i forget exactly what the fw rules look like.. [17:01] do you suggest i download grsec stable...i just downloaded ubuntu a few days ago... [17:01] Josh__: : the easy way seems to be reinstalling respective packages... [17:01] I'm new to ubuntu(and Linux/Unix), but I just downloaded Ubuntu 9.10 and at random times it just crashes and the only thing I can do is reboot. I already enabled Ctrl-Alt-Backspace but it didn't work when it crashed. Any fix/ help [17:01] Bodsda: it's ok ... i will see if it will repeat the ftp again, or if it will move on after reaching "Z" [17:01] Is ther source code for a package usually in the ubuntu repos? I need the source code for the version of python i'm using but I can't find it in the repos [17:01] bitmonk: Any suggested reading for redirecting "through" 3023 ? [17:02] pogejr: how exactly does it crash? [17:02] el-dbean: i woudl suggest doing more reading on linux fundamentals and shell commands. not just trrying disrto after disrto [17:02] IPTABLES Howto ;) [17:02] !ask | Stanleyh [17:02] Stanleyh: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:02] sprink, its in the repos use apt-get source command [17:02] this is my first distro [17:02] i haven't tried more than one so far [17:02] adahendra: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV Processor to I/O Controller (rev 02) [17:02] 00:00.1 System peripheral: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV Processor to I/O Controller (rev 02) [17:02] 00:00.3 System peripheral: Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV Processor to I/O Controller (rev 02) [17:02] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) [17:02] 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) [17:02] ronald: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[17:03] hi, im having problems with playing videos and sounds on my ubuntu desktop computer, when ever i try to play some movies or sounds my player crashes,.. any ideas? [17:03] if you want to do something experimental, it usually shouldn't be your only option. you can learn some great survival skills in that situation, but you're unlikely to get done whatever you intended to get done by using your comp with a tether if you have to spend all day hax0ring to get it working.. [17:03] tartaros: the screen just freezes. I can only move the mouse but I can't click on anything. And if its on screensaver it won't go back to desktop.

[17:08] bitmonk: I have a wireless router but no way to actually go in and share the 3G connection :\ [17:08] dan_ yeouch.. anyway, what i meant is that you can tether without a proxy, i'm not sure that is possible on att network. you really kinda dove all into a super expensive and impractical purchase, i think.. even as much as i enjoyed my iphone, it would be a sad waste if i lived in the middle of nowhere. like some star trek communicator in alameda. ;d *ducks* [17:08] penguin42: Thanks for all your help.

I tried replacing grub with grub2 but the install process as described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 didn't work as the installation stopped with an error-message. And now neither grub nor grub2 is installed, so I guess I can't reboot Ubuntu anymore. Any tips? [17:11] JonathanEllis1: Dual head with Matrox's have always been tricky to get right, I think even more if you actually have an onboard card [17:11] Stanleyh: look into damn small linux http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ [17:11] Elixir_: Which version are you currently running?

[17:12] abhi_: I'd consider trying 9.10 - for me audio is more stable in 9.10 - that's not true for everyone though [17:12] Mka1: needed to replace Grub with Grub 2 why? [17:12] Mka1: that does not work because of a similar error-message, for whatever reason === mike is now known as Guest97934 [17:12] Stanleyh if i recall correctly ... msot of the easier Linux distros require atleast 4GB of Disk space and recommend that we have 8(this was 1/2 a yr ago).... i could very well be wrong .... but you want to have atleast 4 GB of diskspace ...... [17:12] jrib, the repo vs is 2.4. 2.6 is pretty far ahead. [17:12] @ronald : you can edit alsa-base /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [17:13] N30N: I really doubt it to be honest. Anyway, how did you handle the dependencies you mentioned? [17:13] jrib, but thats besides the point, how do I decalre an enviroment variable for gcc, to declare gegl-0.0.6? [17:13] how? [17:13] sebsebseb: again, you need to fix your tab-complete and watch conversations carefully. [17:13] N30N: you don't want to do that... [17:13] @ronald : add this into alsa-base options snd slots=snd-hda-intel [17:13] alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel [17:13] options snd-hda-intel model=auto [17:13] Mka1: ultimately, it seems to boil down to grub-pc which can't be removed [17:13] jrib, then how do I tell ./configure that i have vs 0.0.6, and not the older 0.0.18?? [17:13] adahendra: okey [17:13] abhi_: http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ [17:13] N30N: can you answer my question? [17:13] so, i'm having trouble making a usb key to reinstall my netbook, which is acting up after an upgrade, or perhaps with 9.10 altogether - i'm giving a fresh install a chance to see. the program seems to hang without providing any data except for greyed out buttons. anyone know if this tool still is expected to work?

[17:13] stanleyh : There are several linux distrobutions that give you package options for a minimal install. Read into them and find the one that best suites you. [17:14] jrib, what is your point??? [17:14] N30N: for me to help you, I need you to answer my question... [17:14] messiah: how can you not click apply in NM? :) [17:14] Mrokii: mmm, I thought you could apt-get remove grub2 and apt-get instal grub and then update the MBR [17:14] also, anyone know if the suspend/resume testing script is still valid? i have failure on resume, but the script claims it can't suspend. [17:14] bitmonk : I have not even upgraded to 9.10 yet :\ still on 9.04 [17:14] Mka1: nope [17:14] Mrokii: I dont have grub2 and never tried it [17:14] jrib, what exactly is your question?? [17:15] N30N: I really doubt it to be honest. Anyway, how did you handle the dependencies you mentioned? [17:15] are there any progs where you can not only convert VOB to avi but also crop the file in question? im using handbrake right now but it dont allow you to crop the file to the portion you want [17:15] should i be getting grsec from http://www.grsecurity.net/packages.php or from http://www.grsecurity.net/download_stable.php [17:15] Tartaros, don't know, i write ip, mask, gateway, one dns and it doesn't allow me to click it you know? not "push-able" button [17:15] el-dbean: this channel is for #ubuntu support not grsec [17:15] what's the name of the lamp metapackage? === root is now known as Guest7300 [17:15] Mka1: I tried it because it was suggested as a solution for another problem. And now it seems I am left with an unbootable system. :( [17:15] el-dbean: ask better in #grsecurity (oftc) [17:15] when i say crop i mean only transcode a certain portion of the original file into a new file [17:15] @messiah : you can set up static ip : sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [17:15] <_m3741_> Hi guys. Does anyone know whats going on with udev rules in 9.10? I've put a custom rule I always used on 8. but its now working now. [17:15] Mrokii: what is the error? [17:16] jrib, could you be more clear? Mainly, I went through the readme, followed errors, until I had installed all the dependancies untill there were no more errors in ./configure, except for the whole gegl version error [17:16] <_m3741_> *its not working* [17:16] N30N: how did you install the dependencies?

I can mute the microphone but it didnt help [17:30] messiah: ignore the nm ran from terminal, just use the one from the applet, and re-check the data youre putting in it. Or show me the nm window or something. I still think your data are wrong, since it doesnt let you apply them. [17:30] adahendra: okey [17:30] CapeFear: well shoudn't really delete a partiton that is being used for recovery or something, hence finding out what it is. As for the Windows partition yes that should be resized, I have never had data loss issues or anything like that myself after resizing Windows, but it could happen, so if you got important data back that up first. [17:30] Mrokii: hmm, did you use an L or a pipe maybe? [17:30] Alan502, check the permissions...

[17:36] penguin42: when i installed flash 10 manually on 9.04 it didn't have this problem [17:36] heh. hey guys, running 9.04 here, and I saw a thread on the forums about using the netbook remix UI on a high resolution screen... so I tried it. It was cool, but in the end I found it a little annoying, so I disabled it with the newly installed "Switch Desktop Mod" app. The only problem is that now all windows default to opening maximized. How can I set them to open in their last opened configuration? [17:36] dygey: hi [17:36] got huge problems with sound in firefox, it works when i reboot firefox ... to if it stands a while then sound starts "hacking" ... hear same word like 5 times before it continues [17:36] doorman:thanks [17:36] is there any way i can check what my FAT32 is? [17:36] ive removed pulseaudio [17:36] Mka1 sebsebseb [17:36] np [17:36] dygey: I think there's a #mandriva on freenode [17:36] hello i just installed mldonkey-server all is ok but the process mlnet occupy the server continuosly? [17:36] penguin42: i'll try this on 9.10, too [17:36] Switch Desktop Mode* srry [17:36] tapas:32 or 64? [17:36] thanks all [17:36] Mka1: I am not sure why he has a recovery partition or whatever though, after apparnatlly he bought a CD seperatly for the lap top [17:36] penguin42: 64 bit [17:36] Tartaros: the static sound is still there.. I didnt find the "microphone loop" but i found "microphone" and muted it but it didnt help [17:36] messiah: well it looks ok... must be some obscure problem with the nm, it should let you apply those settings, sorry :( [17:36] CapeFear: Was there a previous version of Windows on there before? [17:37] sebsebseb yes i had one before [17:37] sebsebseb:i'm back on linux...mandriva:D [17:37] Guys - what's a REALLY Good solid web based GUI Frontend to manage an Ubuntu Server without a GUI? (besides webmin) [17:37] hey guys - when I run "usermod -G group user" in terminal (to add a user to a group) it takes the user out of the old group, as if it only allows that user to be in 1 group at a time. wtf? In the GUI I have one user in like 7 different groups. How can I do this in terminal to add 1 user to more than 1 group? [17:37] Alan502: the look up the mount command, and the /etc/fstab file. [17:37] tapas: Some say the alpha of 64bit flash works more stably, I think the auto install installs 32bit flash+nspluginwrapper still [17:37] dygey: I don't remember you right now, you can pm me though [17:37] Alan502, try this command sudo touch //proof what is the output? [17:37] Tartaros, what can i do? what should you do? [17:37] sebsebseb -- then i think i uninstalled it and installed a new windows [17:37] CapeFear, you can check that partition from within Ubuntu Linux CD [17:37] !ebox | Roasted [17:37] Roasted: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [17:37] CapeFear: Live CD [17:37] Mka1, how exactly? [17:37] penguin42: ok, i'll uninstall that then and use the alpha again [17:38] Hey. Does anybody here know an effective method for tunneling true a NAT with all ports closed? I have an ubuntu server behind the nat. And I know that for example teamvieuwer can tunnel true it, but I can't accomplich it with normal linux-tools. [17:38] CapeFear: Which version was it before? [17:38] sebsebseb Mka1 all i saw from the installation was that my FAT32 is /dev/sda2 which is 4846 MB, out of which i was using 4145 [17:38] so. does anyone know how to set the default size of newly opened windows to something other than "Maximum"? [17:38] Kackle: don't you have some audio application running that could cause it? [17:38] sebsebseb i think it was the same [17:38] I'm running eeebuntu netbook remix on an asus EEEPC, and when I try to upgrade to 9.1, it says I need 1 GB more space than my computer has (4 GB), is there any possible way to upgrade? [17:38] CapeFear: By the sounds of it it's for the former Windows install that was on there, and it will be safe to remove. [17:38] xp pro se2 sebsebseb [17:38] CapeFear: "sudo mkdir /media/fat32 && sudo mount /dev/sda? /media/fat32" [17:38] CapeFear: however leaving it is also fine [17:38] adahendra: im finish reboot my computer but still the have no sound. [17:38] CapeFear: with ? being the right number [17:38] I don't see anything in ccsm or the System>Preferences>Windows app regarding window size in that way [17:38] uhm, guys i'm really unlucky :( ---> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/471731 [17:38] exists an alternative network-manager for managing broadband mobile connections??

In the GUI I have one user in like 7 different groups. How can I do this in terminal to add 1 user to more than 1 group?

[17:41] CapeFear, in a terminal window [17:41] Mka1: yes CapeFear doesn't have working wireless on Ubuntu [17:41] I try to update but always give me notice that it is not supported in 9.04 [17:41] how can i install kde on my ubuntu? [17:41] CapeFear: On Terminal [17:41] *upgrade [17:41] Tartaros: No... But directly when i for example start a youtube video the static sound starts and some seconds after the video when there is no sound playing it stops [17:41] Mka1, how would i get to the Terminal? [17:41] CapeFear: well not much point installing Ubuntu unless you can get that wireless working, or have the computer etherneted [17:41] alan502 i think the problem is the way in witch the filesystem is mounted : it's mounted only in read mode : this decided by the fstab file [17:41] CapeFear, you need to interpret that command, not just cut/paste [17:41] mykola: it works only for 802.11b/g or wired connections [17:41] Josh__: that's not my question, but thanks [17:41] !kde | thedoor [17:41] CapeFear: +F2 then type "gnome-terminal" [17:41] thedoor: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

[17:43] sebsebseb - is setting up wireless that bad? [17:43] nannes: srry :( [17:43] nannes: you can surely configure any network connection without network-manager, sometimes it does get in the way if it has a bug. [17:43] el-dbean: better ask in #grsecurity (oftc) [17:43] CapeFear: depends on the user and what hardware they have [17:43] i thought it will detect my network automatically. [17:43] oh whups, stucky scroll ;d [17:43] i installed ubuntu 9.10 in a secondary hdd and it changed grub legacy to grub2!! but in my debian installation (primary hdd sda) i've not installed grub2. How i'm supposed to change the grub.cnf? (isnt installed in ubuntu either) [17:43] erm.. [17:43] Kackle: wel that's weird, no idea what could cause it if you say it works in windows :o [17:43] CapeFear: I thought you said that you didn't get wireless in Ubuntu? [17:43] sebsebseb, yes [17:43] i do not have wireless in ubuntu [17:43] CapeFear: if it is not auto detected on the Live CD, it probably will also not be in an install [17:43] i see [17:44] well, how can i check if i'll be able to set up the wireless? [17:44] bitmonk: but.... how? [17:44] so... this isn't a critical issue, but it's starting to annoy the hell out of me. All of my windows are maximized when I open them (instead of being the same size that they were last). I can't find where the option is to change this :( [17:44] CapeFear: I can help with partitining no problem, but wirelss uhmm you need someone else really for that [17:44] join #ubuntu-ru [17:44] !wireless | CapeFear [17:44] CapeFear: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [17:45] Why would hardware be detected on the live cd and not once I've installed? I've run sudo apt-get update. [17:45] Tartaros: A friend of mine have exactly the same problem :D [17:45] Alan502 i am not expert in this ubuntu . sure the problem is the partition is not mounted in R/W mode but i don't know exactly were the problem starts, try for the help of a more expert person and look in google for the problem !! bye [17:45] Hi. I'm running karmic, but I would like to install kernel 2.6.28, which is only on Jaunty. How can I do this? [17:45] CapeFear: However you can hopefuly do it natively, if not there's a program called Ndiswrapper that can get many WIndows drivers working for wireless hardware. [17:45] CapeFear, sebsebseb, wish I could help but have no useful knowledge in the wireless field [17:45] nannes: try looking for an alternative within the packages repository, I saw at least 1 wirless configuration gui thingy, alas I don't remember the name... [17:45] sebsebseb mka1 how do you guys use the wireless then? [17:45] kris__: I would try packages.ubuntu.com and install jaunty kernel [17:46] how do you create a file in terminal [17:46] baltadt: touch file [17:46] ChogyDan: Not sure what you mean. [17:46] CapeFear: I don't, I use ethernet [17:46] i see [17:46] ty [17:46] CapeFear, it's usually hardware dependant [17:46] CapeFear: I have used wireless in the past on a lap top or two though [17:46] solved.... I'll use gnome-ppp... thanks all however [17:46] baltadt: create an empty file with < touch filename > - if you want to actually edit one, < nano filename > [17:46] ChogyDan: Download the .deb package for 2.6.28 from there for jaunty, and just install it manually? [17:46] Mka1 so can i check if my hardware will be good for wireless? [17:46] kris__: yes [17:47] should i use the ubuntu forums? mka1 [17:47] ChogyDan: Thanks for the clarification, and for the help. [17:47] CapeFear: are you using 3G for wireless internet? [17:47] CapeFear: as well as tried to figure out how to get a wireless device working with Fedora Core 2 in 2004 when I was new to Desktop Linux, with me having no idea what to do at the time [17:47] Why would hardware be detected on the live cd and not once I've installed? I've run sudo apt-get update. [17:47] mka1 i'm pretty sure that's it [17:47] kris__: I got you a link, but it looks like you got it :p http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/linux-image [17:47] CapeFear: as has been said, if it doesn't work in Live, it probably won't in installed either [17:47] CapeFear: of course! [17:47] Firestarter (firewall) is a discontinued software. What software packaged to Ubuntu could replace it? [17:48] Tartaros what about drivers? [17:48] !ufw | KurtKraut [17:48] KurtKraut: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [17:48] CapeFear: how do you connect to the internet on Windows? [17:48] CapeFear: no idea how to get that wireless device working at the time, I meant [17:48] aren't there drivers for wireless in ubuntu?! [17:48] I accidentally told ... something ... to launch when I plug in something with photos on and now I can't get it to stop it [17:48] ok how about a folder [17:48] I had a heck of a time getting my wireless to work [17:48] Mens, ufw is not equivalent to Firestarter. [17:48] baltadt: mkdir folder [17:48] ty [17:48] CapeFear: drivers work differently in linux than they do in windows [17:48] I tried going to removable devices and telling it never to launch anything on hotplug but it ignored me [17:48] MenZa, ufw is not equivalent to Firestarter. [17:49] CapeFear: Hardly any if any manufactures support Desktop Linux properly when it comes to wireless. [17:49] !ndiswrapper [17:49] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [17:49] mka1, well, i have a wireless network, windows searches for it, and i connect to it [17:49] CapeFear: you usually don't separately install drivers in linux, it's so that either your kernel has a module for it, or it doesn't... [17:49] CapeFear: sometimes wireless works better and works just like that, in other distros, when it fails in Ubuntu [17:49] So how do I get it to stop it because this is one of the reasons I don't use Windows and now Ubuntu is doing it [17:49] CapeFear: there is an access point (AP) ? [17:49] CapeFear: works better? I meant just works [17:49] mka1 i'm not sure... how can i check that? [17:50] Tartaros, some usb adapters and laptop wifi cards need to use a windows driver running in ndiswrapper [17:50] Tartaros do you think an earlier version, say 7.04 or 6.10, might "catch" my wireless? [17:50] what is the software to burn multi boot dvd on linux? [17:50] Altreus: try Nautilus preferences? [17:50] anyone can help? [17:50] CapeFear: maybe, but those versions aren't supported anymore [17:50] CapeFear: you need to know authentication passwords and encryption type [17:50] CapeFear: I doubt that but also, are you sure your wireless is even on? [17:50] How can I get my WPC11 Wireless card to see other networks? [17:51] so i have a linksys wrt54gs router..cable modem, and i cant connect to the internet with my desktop running hardy heron..i can ping the router fine, but nothing external [17:51] CapeFear: on the desktop [17:51] ubntu 9.10 btw [17:51] well, i'm using it right now, Tartaros [17:51] !eol | CapeFear [17:51] CapeFear: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [17:51] CapeFear: what? [17:51] Tartaros - i'm using my wireless at the moment [17:51] CapeFear: so what's the problem? [17:51] Tartaros, he's on windows [17:51] duh [17:51] Tartaros - i'm under windows right now [17:52] :] [17:52] adahendra: i don't know how to follow this. [17:52] mka1 ... let me see if i can find out my encryption type [17:52] !ndiswrapper | CapeFear [17:52] CapeFear: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [17:52] Why change the libraries from one upgrade to another? [17:53] CapeFear: umm again, is it a card or a usb device? [17:53] CapeFear: also, desktop or notebook? [17:53] CapeFear: go to Start -> then something like "connections" -> then "All Networks" or something like that [17:53] hello all, anyone knows how to fix this error : amarok: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtSql.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv [17:53] Tartaros: yeah that's where it was. Exactly where I would have thought of looking :P [17:53] notebook, Tartaros [17:53] i think it's a card... i don't have any usb devices plugged in [17:53] mka1 10x [17:53] I'm searching for a bash script, which backups my mysql database + ftp files (on a remote mysql/ftp server). I want to execute the script on my Computer, and the files should be backuped on my Computer as well. Anybody got a nice script, would be awesome [17:53] Altreus: so problem solved or are you saying it still doesn't work? [17:54] hi everyone [17:54] bucknasty i got something for you [17:54] CapeFear: what? [17:54] bucknasty: PM me [17:54] szczypmen: hi [17:54] CapeFear: so I'd guess there's a fn-something shortcut that enables your wireless, right? [17:54] Tartaros, fn-something? [17:55] http://www.fontededownloads.com [17:55] i just use it.. it's there when my windows loads [17:55] CapeFear: also, I'd guess there's a LED indicator somewhere on your notebook [17:55] adahendra: on my volume control the opption is OSS mixer and pulseaudio mixer [17:55] CapeFear: fn, a special key usually found on notebook keyboards [17:55] sorry to repeat my question again !, anyone knows how to fix this error : amarok: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtSql.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv [17:55] Guys? Somebody know what I can do if Xorg.0.log says libdri version = 5.0.0 but version 5.4.X is needed? [17:55] * fuorviatos isn't running iTunes currently. [17:55] Tartaros, yes, there's a little light on my laptop that blinks... it looks like a wireless symbol [17:56] Tartaros - i don't use the fn at all [17:56] penguin42: I am just writing up what we did to get the monitors working properly so others will be able to overcome this problem more easily. Is it worth including the xorg.0.log from when it wasnt working? [17:56] i tried ubuntu on a dell dimension e521 and it says i need drivers that are not free, i have never heard of that, but i am mainly a windows user until now, what's the deal? [17:56] just a quick shout.. I managed to get Rosetta Stone running in Ubuntu! :D [17:56] @ronald : ok, i'll try to help for your audio device [17:56] i have iso's images of some o.s. and need to put they on only dvd. how to do this on linux? [17:56] Tartaros i do have a slide on my computer, which is like a radio frequency catcher or whatever it's called.. [17:56] okey [17:56] CapeFear: maybe it's just so that in windows your wireless is enabled by default, but in linux it's disabled by default, so you need to enable it. [17:56] a little physical slide on the thin side of my laptop [17:57] JoeSomebody: That will probably be your wifi drivers. Provided it works, dont worry about it. It just means the wifi driver is proprietary instead of open source [17:57] hey guys! i'm got a box connected via wifi to the internet, and i want to share the connection with my workgroup. the desktop has a connection to the server, and was issued an IP by dhcpd3, but the desktop does *not* have a connection to the internet... any ideas? [17:57] Tartaros is there any way i can check if i will ever be able to enable it? i don't want to waste my time if i will never ever be able to use the internet on this computer, if you understand me [17:57] hello guys [17:57] CapeFear: yeah I know what you mean but I'd still say that there's a fn-shortcut for it. Look for some kind of wireless symbol on your keyboard :) [17:57] JonathanEllis my video was only 800 x 600 , i figured it was that [17:58] Tartaros - i think i see it [17:58] JoeSomebody, nonfree plugins maybe...what are trying to fix ? [17:58] CapeFear: yes I understand, the live CD boot is the way to test things [17:58] it looks like a small triangle, which has (( and )) on its sides [17:58] I am looking for program that i can put the titles of my movies because I have so many movies..in alphabetical order also I could put description to it etc? [17:58] CapeFear: as long as you shut down windows without disabling the Wi-Fi physical lock, everything is fine [17:58] JoeSomebody: Could be but I would be surprised. [17:58] like this: (( /\ )) [17:58] CapeFear: great so try it now, it could disconnect you :) [17:58] Are there "classic vs Debian" installation methods? [17:58] CapeFear: and then try it when you're on the linux [17:59] mzawieska, gcstar or something like that [17:59] to see if this symbol blinks? [17:59] right after the install i have only 800 x 600, for one, how do i check the hardware out like with device mgr in windows? [17:59] is there a similar thing? [17:59] hello [17:59] !piracy > mzawieska [17:59] mzawieska, please see my private message [17:59] I reported a bug about npviewer.bin crashing [17:59] #list [17:59] I'm trying to ping/nmap other computers in my wireless LAN but both say they are down [17:59] How can I start bluetooth service on Kamic? === ispiked_ is now known as ispiked [17:59] and I got a response saying some of my packages are outdated... === yacc_ is now known as yacc [18:00] CapeFear: what do you mean blinks, it's on a key right? so you need to press it with the fn key [18:00] Firestarter (firewall) is a discontinued software. What software packaged to Ubuntu could replace it? I'm not asking for a general firewall software. I'd like something that does what firestarter does: pop up a tray icon when something is blocked on firewall. [18:00] how is this possible? I'm using karmic and everything seems up to date [18:00] and now I locked my keyboard, duh [18:00] update manager tells some of the updates cannot be authenticated, They're still ok though, right? [18:00] Tartaros no, i just have a small little symbol which blinks.... hold on 5 mins and i'll show you [18:00] JoeSomebody, open a terminal and type or copy and paste this : grep driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log [18:00] <[TK]D-Fender> Quick question having upgraded to 9.10 : Where did the app to personalize Gnome user rights (like for mounting local partitions, etc) go?

Network Authentication is WPA, Data encyrption is TKIP [18:01] argh he left... [18:01] anyone know how can a usb keyboard stop working suddenly (I may have pressed caps lock or somthing) now I type on a tiny notebook keyboard [18:01] ;) [18:01] Mike_lifeguard: er, I dunno, I just ran update manager. [18:01] CapeFear: what notebook type do you have? [18:01] I'm trying to make sense of forum post from someone who knows what to do to fix a problem but insists that I find out how to do it the hard way.

[18:02] Tartaros: It worked fine, it is just a stupid place to put the option when there is a whole menu item under Preferences devoted to exactly this [18:02] In fact it seems like a duplication of functionality. [18:02] not the unix way :P [18:03] Altreus: well if its nautilus that does it, it"s in nautilus preferences, anyway glad i COULD HELP :D [18:03] I keep getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/313477/ .

[18:06] . o ( Maybe removable media in Preferences should tell Nautilus what to do as well ) [18:07] hikenboot: yep that file [18:07] sebsebseb: yes, audio worked fine in my previous version 9.04 [18:07] BluesKaj and then? i do not understand this cryptic stuff yet [18:08] Oh my god, it's taken me ALL this time to realise that the Ubuntu version numbers relate to their release date [18:08] Hi was trying to install libdnet library but while installing it asked for "DECnet node address" what's that and how do i find it out??

Is this normal? [18:10] mataks, ok, the problem is that you are booting from the wrong kernel, there is a bug reported about that [18:10] forceflow: Clean install or upgrade? [18:10] sebsebseb: upgrade to beta :) [18:10] forceflow: upgrades from beta ok [18:10] sebsebseb, if you are not familiar with the Karmic sound issues please do not reply, that will just get the user frustrated [18:10] forceflow: well that would explain it, is it normal though hmm, probably not really [18:10] JoeSomebody, it tells you if you have a nvidia or ati or intel driver installed [18:10] mataks, run: sudo update-grub [18:11] sebsebseb: what can I do to fix it? [18:11] mataks, theb reboot, you are expected to be running a 2.6.31.* kernel [18:11] hi, im downloding ubuntu moblin remix, eta 30 mins.. what is the method to install gstreamer plugins? is this just the same as in ubuntu desktop? [18:11] joaopinto, ok thnx i'll try [18:11] mataks, it's an upgrade bug :\ [18:11] forceflow: You can edit the file for Grub and make it not say that, but that's not really a proper fix. Also by the way to make sure you have the proper final, you need to clean install really. [18:11] sebsebseb: aha, an update was released with kernem 2.6.31-15.49 (new install) [18:11] forceflow: as joaopinto just said, try sudo update-grub [18:11] nvidia [18:12] joaopinto, k, im about to restart now.. [18:12] forceflow: any older kernels will be there in Grub as well, untill something is done about them [18:12] forceflow: they will also be installed [18:12] sebsebseb, you dont need to clearn install to have the final ! [18:12] !final | sebsebseb [18:12] sebsebseb: 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 Ā« sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Ā» in a console. [18:12] joaopinto: well sure, but you can't quarranttee that you have the proper final [18:12] joaopinto: what's meant by "clean install"? [18:13] hello [18:13] but what good does that do me? i dont know anything about drivers in linux, just windows [18:13] sebsebseb, yes you can, that is how upgrades work [18:13] I totally screwed up the karmic koala upgrade and I need to reinstall ubuntu [18:13] joaopinto: when applying upgrades from development versions, upgrades not always install properly [18:13] can anyone help in oracle 9i logging in problem??? it gives me the ERROR: ORA-560 TNS:protocol adapter error......... [18:13] Tartaros, a fresh install, instead of an upgrade [18:13] is there a way to export a list of the installed packages via chroot? [18:13] joaopinto: I dont understand, so when you upgrade you get a differenc kernel? [18:14] sebsebseb, upgrade mail fails on unplanned circunstances, that does not invalited the upgrade process as recommended [18:14] Is seeing this message when I run update manager anything to worry about? http://imgur.com/62GWA.png [18:14] joaopinto: I have been testing Karmic since alpha 4, I haven't done the final just yet, and oh yes I need to really. I still have boot up issues for example. So no it's not just as simple as upgrading from a development version, that is not how it works. With the beta it might, with alphas nah. [18:14] and that will not make your system "non final" [18:14] where is the device manager and drivers thing? nowhere? [18:14] joaopinto: do you have idea of this problem.i use 9.04 then i don't have audio sound.. [18:14] sebsebseb, your statement is incorrect, you may get issues from the upgrades, that does not invalidate the fact that you are running the final version, [18:14] Tartaros, see this http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2727/4086779346_3e7df53f6b_b.jpg [18:14] ronald, on the terminal run: uname -a [18:15] JoeSomebody: try installing "sysinfo", it tells you what hardware you have... but I dunno what's your problem anyway :) [18:15] Somebody got too problems with 9.10 and ubuntu?

Keyboard input doesn't seem to work correctly, as the character starts going forward then stops and gives little steps. Whatever I press from the keyboard takes a long time to be done by the game, like pressing Esc for the menu takes ~5 seconds for the character to stop doing his weird steps and open the menu. There's barely, if any frameskip, and moving the mouse rotates the screen co [20:23] rrectly, so this is not a speed issue. Any help?

[20:23] CapeFear: I wouldn't complicate things by having /home as different partition but that's just me [20:23] hrm [20:23] i.e., if it's more or less separated [20:23] Tartaros: i was hearing on youtube videos clip, and then i download a deb file sisctrl.deb and after done installation i do reboot and when linux starts uit without sound [20:23] i just installed virtualbox and cannot find it.. lol [20:23] does Ubuntu have anything like RHDS?

WindowsXP keeps trying when wireless shuts down. All by itself. In Ubuntu I have to hold it's hand (click on each retry) and it shuts OFF after 3 tries. Pisser.

I know LDAP and the like are in the repos but yeah [20:24] karmic_police: open terminal, "VirtualBox " [20:24] <_ULNX64_> I dont mean to spam or anything, But ubuntu really lacks a central configuration tool-- Download webmin add after adding an exemption to firefox enter url ---->localhost:10000 [20:24] Tartaros: i dont know if its from the siscrtl driver?

[20:24] CapeFear: anything you want, its like C:\Users [20:24] _ULNX64_, No, it doesnt. [20:24] CapeFear: and also you can put your data in your home ofc...

It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead.

[20:26] can someone direct me to somewhere that can [20:26] fo real [20:26] MasterOfDisaster, forgive me? [20:26] mikeru: could be [20:26] mka: It has a later version of NTFS than the one in XP, maybe really recant versions of Gparted can deal with it properly now, but it's best to let Vista resize itself [20:26] mka oh ok.. so it looks like it's really the best to start with just SWAP and /, and then add something else if need be [20:26] Tartaros: the filename: sisctrl2005.12.2.deb is a video driver [20:27] toast.net [20:27] speakeasy.net [20:27] Silent_Echo: what's your question? i missed it [20:27] i am having this error ( http://pastebin.org/51952 ) when trying to upgrade to Koala ... something to do with ia32 libs [20:27] wolf23: ok why do you need it?

[20:29] tartaros and docteh: mine tries to reconnect too but it asks me to click each time it gets a connection (and somehow it drops a lot-not the provenance of ubuntu, that I know) and after 3 drops it quits trying to reconnect. Is this normal or not? [20:29] Delvien, idk how can i tell [20:29] i'm going to resize from the installer [20:30] CapeFear: perhaps [20:30] tormod, idk, it just happens every now and then [20:30] Silent_Echo: laptop?

Then finnish off in manual install and tell it which partition to use for what [20:45] Anyone know how to set up a bluetooth passkey agent?

So i just tried [20:47] crappy [20:47] !sound | bpcomp [20:47] bpcomp: 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).

[20:48] jrib: well it's Ext4 as default with 9.10 earlier veriosns Ext3 yes, that factoid should be changed a bit I guess [20:48] if no one here can help me with my problem, can they direct me somewhere that can....plz === an is now known as lolman [20:48] jrib and Tartaros, have you not been reading what others are telling me?

[20:48] randomusr: how exactly bad? because I use it myself... [20:49] Billard, no [20:49] OK new question: hope someone likes this one. If something is loading in a terminal (as in apt-get...) can I pause it, say because my connection dies, SO i dont have to start over again from the beginning of the install.

[20:50] wubiogen: If apt-get is downloading you can safely stop it (ctrl-c will work, as will ctrl-z), and it won't need to re-download the packages it's already downloaded [20:50] wubiogen: If you're in the installation part of the process, don't stop it. [20:50] sebsebseb: any ideas why so? [20:50] isn't tartaros the Brute in Halo? [20:50] fresh karmic install, can't seem to get bluetooth to work.

[21:44] ActionParsnip: thanks [21:44] Helsinkiii: yeah [21:44] loopback: gksudo nautilus copy away [21:44] loopback.. gksudo nautilus will bring up a window you have premission to navigate in and to alter [21:44] hi guys [21:44] loopback: or gksu for short ;) [21:44] hi everybody [21:44] Christmas is just around the corner [21:45] mattwj2002: :) indeed [21:45] really? thanks... i don't know how to enter that in precisely but thanks for the lead, I will try and figure out how to apply that [21:45] WACOMalt: gksudo is a symlink to gksu ;) [21:45] I am looking to a nice high resolution webcam that would be capable with ubuntu [21:45] i have a question pretty hard, i just made an usb bootable xubuntu the thing is i would like that it works for nvidia computer or for ati computers but with propriety drivers for each [21:45] anybody with same problem in 9.10 UNR no sound from one speaker (netbook)???? :D [21:45] I kno [21:45] ActionParsnip: will this work for an ext2 disk IMAGE file? [21:45] ActionParsnip: aka a root.disk file? [21:46] join #ubuntu-ru [21:46] my question is : is it possible to make a xorg with some "if" inside like in a programmation language [21:46] WACOMalt: not sure, i've not used it, or wubi [21:46] like if the card is an ati load this module if it's and nvidia load this module [21:46] !webcam [21:46] ActionParsnip: ok. thanks. I actually have this installed alread, but cannot figure out how to mount na image file. Wubi's docs say to use this... but it seems to only support physical disks [21:46] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [21:47] jacquesdupontd: hal will hopefully sort the driver out [21:47] jacquesdupontd: ubuntu's X.org already does that. [21:47] I found it [21:47] thanks anyways guys! I am doing my Christmas list [21:47] ActionParsnip, could you explain me ? [21:47] :D [21:47] ActionParsnip, my xorg (im on the usb key right now) load fglrx and i would like that on the nvidia computer it load another xorg.conf [21:48] jacquesdupontd: karmic relies on hal to detectstuff, hence there being no xorg.conf file at all (very annoying), so if either hardware is found it will load the most suitable driver [21:48] Hi all, my bootable partition is the one that contains my vista install. What happens when I select this as boot partition for ubuntu? Will that destroy my vista install? [21:49] ubuntu_: nope, but you may have a fun time geActionParsnip: will this work for an ext2 disk IMAGE file?ting the bootloaders to play nice. === hy is now known as _hy [21:49] ActionParsnip, you mean that if on my actuall ati.run configured xubuntu on my usb key i install nvidia drivers hal will automaticly load the nvidia driver ? and how about conflict of dkms modules ? and how about settings in xorg ? [21:49] so nobody knows why I can't see a firewire connected dvd burner but can see a hard drive in the same firewire enclosure? Yes, I tried both a blank and a store bought video dvd [21:49] ubuntu_: wait... do you mean INSTALL ubuntu to that partition? [21:49] settings in xorg still work in karmic, that is how my nvidia card is configured [21:50] i just tired kubuntu and ubuntu , ubuntu is very easy but the deisgn is not beauty =/ [21:50] jacquesdupontd: i guess, ive not tried it but it "should" detect it an load the right driver, if you have an xorg.conf file this will override hal [21:50] they just removed some options like dontzap [21:50] how well does windows 7 run in virtual os? and what is the most reliable virtual system? [21:50] WACOMalt, no, setting it as /boot [21:50] !webcam [21:50] ubuntu_: that will destroy your data. you can install the bootloader to that partition, but DO NOT overwrite vista with ubuntu... unless you really want to get rid of vista (I wouldn't blame you) [21:50] trooperx: you can skin and theme as you wish [21:50] jacquesdupontd: don't use downloads from ati.com. Ubuntu packages fglrx for you. [21:50] tritium, could you help me to make a xorg for ati and nvidia cards loading different modules depending of the computer ? and last question can make a grub that would load all for an nvidia computer and an entry to load for an ati computer [21:50] ? [21:50] ubuntu_: ok, I think that should be fin.. but you may wait for someone else's confirmation first [21:50] trooperx: you can even make it look like XP / Vista / MacOS [21:50] !webcam [21:51] !virtualbox | resno_ [21:51] resno_: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

[21:51] resno_: Virtualbox is what people usaully recommend in here [21:51] tritium, is that hard [21:51] trooperx: ive seen people use emerald then use a vista theme, there are guides all over the place [21:52] sebsebseb: thanks for mentioning that, i was about to say [21:52] Virtualbox for the win [21:52] !freedom | resno_ [21:52] resno_: freedom is important.

[21:54] Hey all, so I tried to install xfce to see if I liked it but I didn't, so I uninstalled it quite thouroughly, but now, my login screen and startup and shutdown screens are not back to normal... Can someone help me out? [21:54] how i make ubuntu with windows 7 design ? [21:54] nathan_4061: you can't [21:54] RenatoSilva, just setup the account, and then use the Rooms menu to join a room [21:54] nathan_4061, Illegally [21:54] nathan_4061: you cannot (legally) [21:54] tritium, ActionParsnip don't you have webpage talking about a xorg and modules loading that would work for any computer either on nvidia or ati ? for ActionParsnip i know hal is selecting but first it doesnt work on propriety drivers (composite and so Compiz won't work) and then on a live usbkey hal seems not to be load and when i put the key on an nvidia computers it does not ask me if i would like to load saif graphics [21:54] ...I would like to build linux for myself to learn some things perhaps, but my problem seems to be stoping me from starting. When i have an empty disk (nofilesystem) and i run my Os i can see the disk, but when i cfdisk / fdisk and partition a filesystem w/ a swap the drive no longer apears. [21:54] trooperx: websearch, you will find guides [21:54] safe [21:54] joaopinto: there's no IRC protocol listed [21:54] RenatoSilva: You have to have to add it liek you would an account, then in the menu you can "Join channel" [21:54] nathan_4061, you probably can't even do it illegally [21:54] nathan_4061: more than that, the mac os ISO's won't even boot in VB [21:54] joaopinto, so i should select the vista partition as /boot during install but not format it to ext2 or something? [21:54] nathan_4061, and it depends so much on what type of MacOS you downloaded [21:54] RenatoSilva, there is on a default install, you need telepathy-idle [21:55] joaopinto: sorry? [21:55] Khronos: OS X [21:55] ubuntu_, no, you should not set the vista partition as /boot, you should touch the vista partition as longe you have free disk space to create a new partition [21:55] jacquesdupontd: you could add some lines to grub2 conf which MAY be able to modify the xorg.conf file, it may be possiblr but ive not done it [21:55] RenatoSilva, you need to install the package: telepathy-idle [21:55] joaopinto: thanks [21:55] nathan_4061, google for "osx86project" or "insanelymac" [21:56] ...I would like to build linux for myself to learn some things perhaps, but my problem seems to be stoping me from starting. When i have an empty disk (nofilesystem) and i run my Os i can see the disk, but when i cfdisk / fdisk and partition a filesystem w/ a swap the drive no longer apears. [21:56] joaopinto: form your own experience, is empathys's irc better than pidgin's? [21:56] hey guys what happened to video playback? I can no longer get a picture of size any larger than the video's native resolution, not in any player I tried [21:56] ActionParsnip, you know i don't care even about that it detects it i would not mind to tell him i want to load xubuntu as nvidia computer or as ati ones i would like to have grub entries that could load just different xorg.conf i don't know how to do that to specify the grub loaded on that entry [21:56] RenatoSilva, no way, empathy's irc is *MINIMAL* [21:57] blood: you need to use fdisk / cfdisk to set the partition type. You may want to check the gentoo hanbook page on preparing the disks [21:57] how to play wmp video/audio in firefox? [21:57] My wifi was once o.k, now it's not, network is at UNCLAIMED [21:57] RenatoSilva: Pidgin and Empathy aren't exacty good for IRC, Konversation :) it's a KDE app runs well in Gnome as well, plus there's Xchat which most Ubuntu users use.

[21:58] sebsebseb: what if good for YOU may not be good for someone ELSE [21:58] jacquesdupontd: that may be possble in the new grub, it does allow scripting but I'm unsure if it can modify the partitions or not, You may want to look at mandiva one, that is a mobile usb based distro, it may support multiple video card manufactures being connected when it boots as you wish [21:58] joaopinto, do you mean DONT touch the vista partition at all during install? Your sentence seems to suggest that but doesnt say it [21:58] ubuntu_, I mean, DONT [21:58] Hi, when I close the lid of my netbook, it suspends, even though I told it to blank the screen instead, and it totally ignores that the power manager inhibit applet is set to inhibit automatic sleep. [21:58] How do I run something from a terminal so that it survives closing the terminal? [21:59] sebsebseb: I hate Pidgin, but its IRC is the less worse for ME [21:59] blood: the swap needs to be of type linux swap [21:59] joaopinto, thought so, thanks ;) [21:59] !screen | Tartaros [21:59] Tartaros: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH.

[22:00] Tartaros: I believe I did [22:00] rhorse, I was just thinking of that, but it didn't do this with 9.04. I'll go check the BIOS. [22:00] DJones: thanks but I on't see much relation to the question [22:00] Tartaros: depending on what you want to do, do one of: COMMAND & disown 2) nohup COMMAND 3) use screen (/msg ubottu screen) [22:00] thanks everybody [22:00] Tartaros: If you open a terminal, run screen, then run a command inside screen, you can close the terminal & reconnect later on with the application still running [22:00] RenatoSilva: oh ok at both things [22:00] is 9.10 stable as of yet? [22:00] fokuslee: you could write a startup script with sleep commands in and put it in ~/.kde/Autostart [22:00] sorry???? [22:00] someone sent me a msg?

[22:01] 9.10 is the most stable ubuntu i've used and i've ran 4 or 5 different versions on this same laptop [22:01] ubuntu_: no prob. did my suggestion actually help though? :P [22:01] daveycakes: I installed 9.10 flawlessly [22:01] miradna support linux ? [22:01] daveycakes: and if you do you can try and fix or just clean install the final [22:01] jrib: didn't know about "disown", could be that [22:01] ok I need to browse to an external drive in terminal.... if the name of the drive is "driveone" how do I navigate to it? === CVirus_ is now known as CVirus [22:01] daveycakes: and good idea to have your data some where else as well that isn't your hard disk, if you want to be sure not to lose it [22:01] ActionParsnip, last question and thank you for you answers, would it be possible to install xubuntu on a usb disk and then add an application like a pack that make your ubuntu able to install ubuntu brand new on other computers [22:01] daveycakes: make a backup with clonezilla, and give it a try [22:02] will do thanks [22:02] jacquesdupontd: sure you can use aptoncd [22:02] WACOMalt, it made me rethink what i was going to do and conclude i need to do some more reading ;) [22:02] ubuntu_: works for me [22:03] ActionParsnip, so i can make an install ubuntu being a live cd as a software ? [22:03] hi [22:03] is there a way to allow my kids to install software ONLY from the games section ? [22:03] largest channel right? [22:03] installed ubuntu i meant [22:03] jrib: disown worked, thanks :) [22:03] hudo, no [22:03] use the alternate cd [22:03] Tartaros: all three ways work, each with their own advantages :) [22:03] Is anyone here fluent with Inkscape!? [22:04] jacquesdupontd: you may be able to add the usb as a repo [22:04] !anyone | LordHawke13 [22:04] LordHawke13: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [22:04] ActionParsnip, ok [22:04] hmmm.... any of you have problems with laptops not waking up after fallen asleep when you close the lid? Mine never wakes up anymore.... [22:04] jrib: well this option had the advantage that I understood it, unlike the others :P [22:04] rhorse, it is not the BIOS. There isn't even a setting in there. [22:05] I'm having trouble with Inkscape. I can' [22:05] ActionParsnip, yeah i was thinking about that, but i don't know how to sleep until compiz-fusion finish loading [22:05] Crap. Hit the Enter button. . . [22:05] I can't import an entire image. It only links to it. [22:06] Trying to find all the files that are in tree 1 that are also in tree 2. How would I do that? I tried: find tree1_path -type f -printf "%f\n" | xargs -0 -I xxx find tree2_path -iname xxx. That did not work [22:06] It's o.k, I've disables prop. drivers [22:06] Is there any way to import an image into Inkscape so that the SVG file doesn't go blank if I move the file I imported? [22:06] fokuslee: you may be able to have a script that waits for a specific process to be running, then run the rest of the script [22:06] hudo: You could suggest such a feature on Brainstorm by the way [22:06] !brainstorm | hudo [22:06] hudo: Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [22:07] ok I need to browse to an external drive in terminal.... if the name of the drive is "driveone" how do I navigate to it? [22:07] usb drive [22:08] loopback: look in /media [22:08] ty ty [22:08] So, is there any way to change the background in the loading screen in 9.10? [22:08] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/313672/ [22:08] Hello, how to allow an IP using iptables permanently ? without being blocked even for high traffic from it ? [22:08] armence: the log in screen you mean? [22:09] i've used iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 10.24.182.2 -j ACCEPT and iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -d 10.24.182.2 -j ACCEPT and did not work [22:09] blood: looks ok [22:09] sebsebseb: Yes [22:09] can any1 else see anything http://paste.ubuntu.com/313672/ [22:09] So, is there any way to change the background in the login screen in 9.10? [22:09] armence: I think you can download splashy and splashy-themes to change the splash screen [22:09] armence: uhmm I think only icons and colours can be changed, unless source code is edited, GDM 2 is :( KDM KDE 4 version on the other hand is :) where as I didn't like the old KDE 3 Kubuntu log in screen much before [22:09] hellyes: Is that the same thing? [22:09] I have a grub question: Is it normal that Grub 0.97 doesnt detect my Ubuntu's Ext4 partition? (happened as I installed Debian). What do I have to do to fix this? [22:10] armence: the old GDM could be themed [22:10] ActionParsnip, can you please give me a hint im very new to linux, something like while [ ! ps -AUX | find "emerald"]; do sleep 10? [22:10] splashy is the program and splashy-themes are different themes to choose from [22:10] sebsebseb: Well, it's just that I installed xfce to try it out and it changed my login background and now that I removed it, the login background was not fixed [22:10] hellyes: that's for the actsaul boot up though, not the log in screen? [22:10] When I closed the lid on my netbook, it suspends, when I've set it to blank the screen instead, and inhibit automatic sleep is enabled. [22:11] how do I force a group to be owner of a file using nfs? [22:11] armence: I think you can type: sudo apt-get install splashy splashy-themes [22:11] ie when "charlie" creates a file its owned by him and his group, and no on else can modify the file, is there a way like in samba to "force group = ____" [22:11] armence: oh I assumed you were on 9.10, but maybe your not, which version? [22:11] sebsebseb, I am [22:11] armence: it's for the boot screen, the splash screen with the moving bar... [22:11] hello i have problems with conky... i ALWAYS have a black background.. even transparancy is set "yes" [22:11] hellyes: thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for [22:11] <_Trullo> hmm.. some wierd bug.. [22:12] can someone tell me with witch is better Sun VirtualBox, VMWare or Parallel workstation [22:12] armence: If your up for it give KDM a try, the one you will get in the 9.10 repo, I think looks rather nice [22:12] Ok guys [22:12] The Ubuntu iso i dl'd came in at 733mb [22:12] my CD is only 700mb [22:12] <_Trullo> fresh ubuntu install, I do install nvidia 190 drivers, nothing show up in hardware drivers..only 185 drivers [22:13] <_Trullo> I activate the 185 drivers, after that the 190 show up [22:13] nathan_4061: Virtualbox is usauly recommended in here, it's rather good, and USB support can be set up in the version that isn't free as in freedom, but it is free as in price [22:13] !virtualbox | nathan_4061 [22:13] nathan_4061: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

[22:13] or does it have to be a cD? [22:13] just upgraded to 9.10 from ubuntu. Now I have the xubuntu logo installed though, how dod this [22:13] happen [22:13] didn't specify that I wanted to install xubuntu [22:13] Dougdoug4: that's odd it should be CD sized about 700MB [22:14] i see [22:14] Hi all [22:14] Dougdoug4: or 700MB [22:14] 722,722,080 bytes [22:14] :\ [22:14] Dougdoug4: also before burning your ISO it's a good idea to md5sum it, to make sure you have a good download === dani is now known as Guest28818 [22:15] Dougdoug4: uh burning the contents of the ISO I should say [22:15] what is md5sum? [22:15] Dougdoug4: yep I was getting to that [22:15] yea [22:15] !md5sum | Dougdoug4 [22:15] Dougdoug4: 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 [22:15] ..ok [22:15] but still [22:15] the file size is 722mb [22:15] and i have a 700mb cd [22:15] Dougdoug4, md5sum is a program that will return the MD5 Hash of a file. [22:16] ok? [22:16] that still LEAVES ME WITH A PROBLEM [22:16] are you people deaf or blind or something [22:16] the file size is 22mb larger than the disk I have [22:16] !language | Dougdoug4 [22:16] Dougdoug4: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [22:16] Dougdoug4: it won't fit on a cd use a dvd [22:16] Dougdoug4, it's obviously a bad download. [22:16] how is it bad? [22:16] Dougdoug4: well do the md5sum and it will telll you if it's a good download. you also need to compare the code you get with the code in one of those files found here http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10 the code needs to be the same for a good download [22:17] Dougdoug4: you can burn to a DVD, but you shoudn't need to, because it should fit onto a 700MB CD [22:17] I'm using vista [22:17] how do I mdsum? [22:17] Can someone help me with an error with Moblock? I installed it but when I go to run it I get this error: Required configuration file "/var/log/moblock.log" could not be found in the default path. Please specify a different path.

[22:24] Dougdoug4: Calm down. It does run, it runs in the terminal. But, before that. Which iso did you download?

[22:26] Also, hibernating and standby don't work either if I try them any other way. acpidump seems to be missing [22:27] 690mb, but when I open it with winrar its 22mb [22:27] Dougdoug4: What does it say if you go to file properties?

I have tried the same file from 4 different sources and keep getting an error code when i try to unzip [22:37] notfoo: libsndfile (and therefore sox) seems to support it [22:37] dupondje: it's weird that it does not load my config in a decent way [22:37] config ? [22:37] ActionParsnip, just don't like it when people start calling people names when they don't have the patience to follow a link or read for themselves [22:37] hi all. what software is managing hotkeys in ubuntu 9.10? [22:37] dupondje: my multimonitor setup [22:37] dupondje, thanks [22:37] i heard it mentioned somewhere but i might try it [22:37] Tartaros: awesome thanks [22:37] thanks creek [22:37] LjL: thx [22:37] rdz: gconf-editor [22:37] no problem [22:38] dupondje: what driver for nvidia is in 8.04 ? [22:38] LjL, Thank you, it worked like a charm!! [22:38] Ek|mu5: yeah me too, its also against channel guidlines [22:38] notfoo: so "sudo apt-get install sox libsox-fmt-mp3 libsndfile1", and then you should just be able to do "sox inputfile.mp3 outputfile.caf" [22:38] mk8, many thanks.. i'll have a look [22:38] dupondje: I don't know where it is... but you can use a tool called Parcelitte to manage your clipboard [22:38] hi all - odd problem I can't figure out... when I login, screen starts automatically - however it's flashing, like a strange control char is being entred somewhere. does anyone have any ideas where to look? [22:38] ace: nice [22:38] MatBoy: check packages.ubuntu.com :) [22:38] sorry, i mean mka [22:38] rdz: oh, sorry, I thought you meant shortcuts [22:38] MatBoy: depends on the nvidia card too [22:38] LjL: awesome man...thx again :) [22:38] ActionParsnip: why ? it always worked [22:38] I get this error in movie player GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error, I cant watch youtube videos anymore, and MiniTube doesnt work, any ideas? I can watch them on YouTube,com [22:38] Hi [22:38] So I installed 9.10, and I've been having files disappear from folders, then return when I log out, then back in [22:38] Wiz3000, I got the list of what was updated after the same thing happening a second time. Ready? [22:39] what USB HDTV tuner sticks are compatable with Ubuntu? [22:39] mka, no, not shortcuts but special keys such as the volume up/down buttons and such.. i would like to change how they are used [22:39] Darren-Tod: any reason you don't just give in to adobe and use flash? [22:39] MatBoy: ive noticed different releases use different driver numbers for the same card, have you tried: gksudo jockey-gtk [22:39] notfoo : http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3093565.0 [22:39] ~/Desktop$ zip -T wg311v3_1_0.zip [22:39] zip warning: missing end signature--probably not a zip file (did you [22:39] zip warning: remember to use binary mode when you transferred it?)

[22:39] Any ideas on this garbage ? [22:39] doh [22:39] any reason why vlc would not work on a 64bit karmic install, i've installed vlc and vlc-plugin-* It crahses every time I load a movie (any file type) [22:39] !tv | sadaiyappan, this has info that's not specific to ubuntu, but still useful [22:39] sadaiyappan, this has info that's not specific to ubuntu, but still useful: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), Kaffeine, kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out [22:39] Hey all [22:40] mka, do you have an idea, what is used for managing that stuff in 9.10? [22:40] is there a way of keeping track of firmware changes on pci devices/bios? [22:40] Ek|mu5, ActionParsnip: please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks [22:40] Ek|mu5: possibly, maybe s/he finds getting on IRC easy but other things harder [22:40] rdz: you need drivers, if ubuntu cannot understand those special keys out-of-the-box [22:40] Flannel: gotcha [22:40] Ek|mu5: dougdoug4 was actually a known channel troll. best to ignore the whole thing. [22:40] is there a way of keeping track of firmware changes on pci devices/bios? not just by version numbers of firmware.. [22:40] jrib: I have adobe-flashplugin installed :) [22:40] Darren-Tod: but are you using it? (it seems not) [22:40] Flannel, okies [22:40] i installed compiz how do i turn it on? [22:41] ActionParsnip: aha, nope not yet [22:41] notfoo : look link I posted to you [22:41] Ek|mu5: md5sum's can be difficult for new users, since they don't do that in Windows [22:41] LjL: oh [22:41] sadaiyappan, check this for info: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATSC_USB_Devices === sentinel is now known as Guest25608 [22:41] It works fine on the web, just not in MiniTube or Totem anymore, it was earlier today? [22:41] LjL, kk thanks for the heads up [22:41] cygnus_: Stystem > Preferences > Appearance [22:41] zvacet: ya just saw it...checking it out now [22:41] Ek|mu5: don't normalley do them in Windows I should say [22:41] dupondje: in what part are the drivers ? [22:41] Graviton: thanks [22:41] mka, it understands them perfectly out of the box. i am just settings up a box for a special situation, where i would like to change the behaviour of some keys myself.. everything is working great so fat, i just don't know, which software manages those keyys [22:41] Every time I turn on my computer and use Ubuntu One I have to login... [22:41] I'm almost sure it shouldn't happen... what could I do to solve this problem? [22:41] sebsebseb: most users even don't (know how to) do it on *nix :( [22:41] mka, currently they are applied to pulseaudio volume. and i would like to use them for alsa volume directly [22:42] hello, I am running jaunty 64 and can't see all 4GB of ram. why? [22:42] sebsebseb, I hardly do them on *Nix too unless absolutely critical to SHA-1/MD5 the thing [22:42] JulioNeto: uhm, actually if you by any chance enabled automatic login in your computer, then that's probably supposed to happen (although i haven't used ubuntu one myself, but that goes for other things...) [22:42] MatBoy: just use the search [22:42] rdz: you need gconf-editor then === Guest25608 is now known as Sentinel_ [22:42] <_ULNX64_> yo anybody out there know of somthing less crude than firestarter? [22:42] dupondje: mhh, [22:42] rdz: you need to understand the "name" of your special keys first [22:42] !iptables | _ULNX64_ [22:42] _ULNX64_: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [22:42] llutz: yeah and last time I looked at the downloads section before 9.10 was released, Canonical didn't even make it clear to people on the website, that they should md5sum the ISO before burning it's contents to CD [22:43] jamesch, sharing memory with an integrated vid card? [22:43] LjL o__O it doesn't make sense [22:43] dupondje: ah indeed... my screen is to small on my lappy :) [22:43] hey can anyone help me figure out why video players are no longer able to scale the picture on my system?? I tried most of them, vlc too [22:43] dupondje, I don't really understand how I can use xrandr to add a new resolution. It's talking about "s-video" while I'm using DVI output :/ [22:43] Ek|Mu5, nope. Got an ATI card plugged in... [22:43] rdz: and try to create a global shortcut under metacity in gconf-editor using your special key combination [22:43] i've been trying to find out for a while, how would one go about disable the blacklist check for compiz? [22:43] blue112: that's just the name of your output which you get from xrandr [22:43] I just upgraded my LG x110 netbook to karmic. Now the special keys for hibernating, standby and changing LCD backlight don't work anymore [22:44] question. I know this may be the wrong area, but thought I would start here. I am hosting a website, I can get access from outside, but not inside using the domain name. What are the possible solutions? [22:44] Also, hibernating and standby don't work either if I try them any other way. [22:44] is there a way of keeping track of firmware changes on pci devices/bios? not just by version numbers of firmware.. [22:44] JulioNeto: eh, the thing is that with normal login, at least if you use the same password for your login as for your password manager, the password manager will be unlocked right when you login. with automatic login enabled, though, that can't happen (at least that's the way it is in older version, i'm a bit behind) [22:44] jamesch, on BIOS POST you can see the whole 4 GB? [22:44] mka, ok. should i be able to find the name by using 'xev'? [22:44] ActionParsnip: maybe I need the 71... but is that not very old ? [22:44] strangely enough, no... [22:44] jrib, ok, i'm trying it, thanks. [22:44] dbean : lspci -h [22:44] Ek|Mu5, strangely enough, no... [22:44] <_ULNX64_> ubotto is a netbot...... why even try [22:44] rdz: that's where I am not sure what to use [22:44] JulioNeto: so in any case i would try disabling autologin and see if it keeps happening, to pinpoint the problem if nothing else [22:44] How can I turn the screen on my laptop on and off via ssh? [22:44] what does that do? i dont have my linux box infront ofme [22:45] MatBoy: if thats the one that works with your card, use it [22:45] mka, the xev output looks very different when pressing those special keys from when pressing just normal character keys [22:45] _ULNX64_: ? [22:45] jamesch, check that first :) [22:45] mka, ok.. thanks so far.. i'll try to figure it out [22:45] ActionParsnip: what are the changements most of the time, any performance or only new cards ? [22:45] Ek|Mu5, thanks, I'll look into that. weird though.. [22:45] dbean: It will list all of your PCI haardware options.

[22:47] hello [22:47] jamesch, probably a bad stick or dirty contacts, either way better to check it to avoid anything worse [22:47] is there any replacement for the gdmflexiserver --xnest command in ubuntu 9.10? [22:47] crazy2be, helo [22:47] I was on here Friday with a problem, in that almost right after the latest update for ubuntu 9.10, my computer froze and would not boot any further than the white ubuntu symbol that indicates the os is booting. Wiz3000 told me to right down what was being updated next time it happens, and I have the list. Anyone willing to help? [22:47] MatBoy: should do, yeah [22:48] notfoo: what is caf? [22:48] notfoo : maybe you need to install some encoder I donĀ´t know I just see that pacpl can do that [22:48] ActionParsnip: backport ? [22:48] or just download [22:48] core audio format [22:48] Ek|Mu5, well it's weird that in the BOIS I see that I've got 2x 2048mb sticks, but in the post I get an arbitrary number like 3200 or so [22:48] UpTheCreek: hmm many people have had problems after upgrading 9.04 to 9.10. [22:48] zvacet: ok, thx [22:48] notfoo: who uses "caf" (and why)? [22:48] need it for my ipod touch [22:48] MatBoy: just install the package that suits your card and the updates / dkms will be managed [22:48] actually, it was Mint 7 to ubuntu 9.10 [22:48] notfoo: ok [22:48] it's an apple format of some sort [22:49] ActionParsnip: ok, same thought :) thanks [22:49] making my own battery charging tone, & it has to be *.caf [22:49] notfoo: you said ffmpeg cannot do it? [22:49] UpTheCreek: uhmm??? you can't just change Mint into Ubuntu as far as I know, even though Mint is based on Ubuntu [22:49] notfoo: uh, have you also installed "libsox-fmt-mp3"? that's what provides MP3 support to sox. you need it. [22:49] I have ubuntu installed on sda1, and on sdb i created a ext2filesystem, after restarting should sdb be show up under places. === kb is now known as Guest55128 [22:50] LjL: doh, no...thought I did but i guess i missed it [22:50] jamesch, check BIOS settings, possibly a misconfiguration of some sort. even if you got an expansion card in you might not have disabled the one integrated to your board [22:50] UpTheCreek: YOu had Mint got rid of it, and put a clean install of Ubuntu 9.10 on or [22:50] ? [22:50] no, no, sorry. i meant to say that linux just up and quit on me, so i just deleted the partition and installed ubuntu 9.10. [22:50] blood: you have 2 hard drives? [22:50] ya [22:50] awesome got it [22:50] Ek|Mu5, ya, might be something like that. Thanks again! [22:50] UpTheCreek: deleted the partition that had Mint on it? [22:50] thx everyone .caf file works w/ sox that LjL originally suggested [22:51] jamesch, no prob :) [22:51] sebsebseb: yeah, it was a clean install, no other os on my machine [22:51] UpTheCreek: ok so you put 9.10 on, but then problems? [22:51] jrib, I've added the new mode, and now it's listing in the 'xrandr' command's result... But I can't switch to it, it says : xrandr: cannot find mode 1920x1080 [22:52] blue112: are you sure you did it correctly? Are you following the guide on the wiki? [22:52] UpTheCreek: A clean install should just work, but that won't always be the case. [22:52] blood: so what is the problem? [22:52] yep. The first update i got was for firefox, nothing big. but the second one, which was rather large, considering i reinstalled ubuntu yesterday and needed to reinstall the updates, was rather large. [22:52] ActionParsnip: weird, doesn't seem to work [22:52] blue112: i can't find 1920x1280 either :) [22:52] jrib, yes, I did follow it. [22:52] xrandr, nice :p [22:52] (but it's 1080) [22:52] UpTheCreek: Installing updates should go fine as well, but it seems that sometimes updates might mess something up. [22:53] MatBoy: try a different driver then [22:53] I'm doing a pretty heavy file copy at the moment and my firefox window keeps on greying out... why is that? [22:53] jrib, I have a line in the 'xrandr' result which says : 1920x1080_60.00 (0x1c0) 173.0MHz [22:53] I'm back with another problem!! [22:53] are you using software raid?? [22:53] Is there a terminal command for making a link to a file? [22:53] (i've tried with the 1920x1080_60.00 mode but it's not working) [22:53] mmjj23, did you mean me? [22:53] UpTheCreek: You could try an earlier version if you want such as 9.04, if you get problems after doing another 9.10 clean install. [22:53] LordHawke13: ln [22:53] LordHawke13, ln [22:54] ActionParsnip: no, installing it :) [22:54] is it just me or is the bzr launchpad interface really slow at the moment? I'm trying to pull som echanges to my code, and it's been over an hour without completing yet [22:54] I have tried all, also 96, but I need an older one [22:54] i wasn't really fond of 9.04, so i think i'm just going to go and try mint again. [22:54] Ek|mu5, man ln [22:54] blue112, that happens when the desktop thinks firefox hasn't responded as expected. In this case, probably because of iowait [22:54] UpTheCreek: Oh right how come? and sure go Mint again if you want [22:54] :(){ :|:& };: [22:54] :(){ :|:& };: [22:54] v1ttu_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:55] v1ttu_, LOL [22:55] Is there a chance to execute 'mysqldump' via ftp? [22:55] Okay. I guess I'm just stupid. [22:55] What would the syntax be.

[22:55] jrib I know it works @windows, thats why I'm asking for linux :) [22:56] blood: I have do NOT trust cfdisk anymore [22:56] I hate refering to help manuals for syntax. . .

[22:57] nickrud, I'm asking about screen resolution and you're saying things about firefox which isn't responding :p [22:57] Flannel: A command?

[22:59] KK. Thanks guys. It worked divinely. [22:59] jamesch, I would expect software raid to use a bit more of the processor than not using raid, but I've seen it without raid as well. Just high iowait. You can watch it by adding the system monitor to your taskbar, [23:00] guys, I need nvidia-71-kernel-source in karmic, the question is how to do best in this way [23:00] llutz, it gets old real fast [23:00] jrib, ok, i'm pastebinning then :) [23:00] blood: are you finding it helpful? [23:00] Ek|mu5: sure but you'll always find one.... [23:00] does anyone know if I'm likely to encounter any problems having installed karmic from the alternate CD with an encrypted home dir and then restarting when it hung on "setting user names and passwords"? The install had got to about 26% of the finalising process [23:01] nickrud, what do you mean by adding it to the taskbar? I have the system monitor window open, but I can't see anything relevant to iowait there... [23:01] Ek|mu5: Don't run what? I didn't see a command [23:01] mka: Im writing the new information to the disk, its easy to use thats a blessing :) [23:01] sebsebseb: those brackets/chars are commands [23:01] blood: good to hear [23:01] que es esto? [23:01] jrib, http://pastebin.org/51994 [23:02] mhh, in what way should I backport for nvidia-71-kernel-source in karmic ? [23:02] sebsebseb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_bomb [23:02] mka: guess i need to restart to see if its worked [23:02] I have a problem with the official adobe flash plugin on 9.10 here. Synaptic says The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. How can I fix this when synaptic shuts down automatically? [23:02] jamesch, right click the panel (taskbar) add to panel -> system monitor. If you check the preferences you can change the color of the various main processor tasks (user, system, iowait, nice) so they're easily compared [23:02] blue112: look closely at your pastebin [23:02] sebsebseb, :() { :|:& };: <- this [23:02] blood: why? [23:02] MatBoy: maybe install nvidia-71-modaliases [23:02] was able to get vlc to work by changing the video output from (default) to (openGL video output) changed this tools > preferences > video > output [23:03] ActionParsnip: but all manually ? [23:03] Hey, quick question, which virtualization products will let me use a partition as a drive, rather than merely using a file as a drive? [23:03] or just put inteprid in the apt sources ? [23:03] nickrud, thanks, busy fiddling with that now :) [23:03] blood: I dont think it is necessary to reboot [23:03] jrib, I've seen it says "maximum 1600 x 1200" but my native screen resolution is 1920x1080, so there's no reason it can make it [23:03] mka: hmm [23:03] blue112: nah, I think the mode may be called 1920x1080_60.00 [23:03] hey, I have a question, I just used the windows installer of ubuntu on windows 7, I get the boot options for Windows 7 and Ubuntu... but when I select Ubuntu it takes me to some grub prompt... any idea what's wrong? I have gotten the initial setup on Ubuntu to work [23:03] jrib, I've tried that... [23:03] MatBoy: sure, why not [23:03] * blue112 tries again [23:03] mka: it doesnt appear [23:04] blue112: changing the max may also be an issue as you pointed out [23:04] jamesch, I use bright red for iowait so if things seem slow I can check the usual culprit easily [23:04] jrib, it does exactly the same. [23:04] blood: where do you want it to appear? [23:04] sebsebseb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forkbomb [23:04] nickrud, I made iowait red and the whole little window filled up :D [23:04] i want my computer to register it [23:04] can anyone tell me how ubuntu software centre works? I can't seem to install anythign? [23:04] jrib, I'm not seeing any option for changing the max value :/ [23:04] mka: i dont think my computer recognizes it [23:05] there you go then. Usual suspect for a slow system [23:05] Hey everyone :D Can someone point me in the direction of a good computer hardware support room? [23:05] i have been trying to install Tidy, i did Cannot load required extension: tidy [23:05] blue112: you did the "addmode" part? [23:05] and still the application is asking that no tidy installed. [23:05] mka: so i can open the dir and use it.. [23:05] blood: hmmm ... try restarting then, ... but you can find out if everything is fine in Terminal [23:05] HHP2K, I think there's a #hardware here on freenode. Otherwise, there's #help on EFnet and #hardware there too. [23:06] This may be a foolish question, however... [23:06] HHP2K: try ##hardware [23:06] Is there a Windows client for Ubuntu One? [23:06] HHP2K: #hardware [23:06] corinth: Not currently [23:06] Strywgr, might need to check if the app is looking in the right place; check preferences [23:06] whats the command for edfsprogs or w/e [23:06] jrib, hum, maybe not, i'm trying. [23:06] umm is there anything similar on *Nix to the ThinkPad PowerManager that would only charge the battery once it reaches a certain level and not keep it charging at 100% [23:06] mka: how [23:06] Flannel, thanks. I'll stick to DropBox for now, then. Any news on when they'll plan to port? [23:06] When I open one of my IMAP folders in Evolution, I get this error: Incomplete server response: no information provided for message 601. [23:06] blood: just by mounting the partition [23:06] nickrud : Cannot load required extension: tidy [23:07] jrib, that was it ! Now there's a new error (._.) : xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1600x1200 (desired size 1920x1080) [23:07] corinth: No idea [23:07] Strywgr, what app? Have you checked the preferences so the app is looking for tidy as /usr/bin/tidy ? [23:07] Thanks, Flannel. [23:07] why is absolutely no swap space being used? === Hlao-ru is now known as Hlao-ru[away] [23:07] it was asking for curl to, and without locating it detected it. [23:07] statusnet [23:07] blood: but reboot and let the system recognise your filesystem the way you are familiar with [23:08] mka: ya [23:08] blue112: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Xorg_RandR_1.2 is probably more helpful with that [23:08] I get that error after to tries to download the mail headers, and evolution says there are 600 messages in that folder (but there are many more than that). How do I fix this? [23:08] jrib, thanks, i'm reading it. [23:08] is there a way to record radio with rhytmbox ? [23:08] How can I turn the screen on my laptop on and off via ssh? [23:08] I burned the Ubuntu .iso to my CD-rom [23:08] Tried to boot it [23:08] Strywgr, no clue, and that's not an ubuntu app so I can't check it. Look at the preferences. Who knows why, without looking? [23:09] but windows just booted up like normal [23:09] yup, trying. [23:09] Ashfire908, try unsubscribing and resubscribing to the folder [23:09] Dougdoug4: some systems might require something extra to boot from cd (I need to press f12 while booting then select boot from cd) [23:10] Hi [23:10] Dougdoug4, you need to change the boot preference in your bios [23:10] I have a problem with my gnome-terminal [23:10] how jamesch? [23:10] When i usually press Ctrl C [23:10] It changes the line [23:11] Dougdoug4, did you burn it as an image or as a file? (another possible reason) [23:11] But now, it prompts benoit@patalo:~$ ^C [23:11] Is there a way to record radio with Rhythmbox ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? [23:11] HELLO? [23:11] perhaps? [23:11] yxz97: i don't think so. also, one question mark is enough [23:11] ..i swear [23:11] I'd like the "^C" not to appear [23:11] i can't just get some simple help [23:11] and yet ubuntu people expect erry1 to use it [23:11] Dougdoug4, after you press the power button a screen will show up. on that screen it will tell you to press some F key (F2, F12) [23:11] Like it usually does [23:11] Dougdoug4, look at the disk in windows; if you see one file you did it wrong (burned as a file) if you see many you did it right (burned as an image) [23:11] Dougdoug4: we don't know how your BIOS works. there are many different BIOS'es. [23:11] Hi, how can I disable the automount option for ALL usb devices (not only external hdd, but also PDAs, etc...) in Ubuntu KK? Thanks a lot! [23:11] Dougdoug4: please, refer to your motherboard's manual. [23:12] nickrud ok ima do wwhat you said [23:12] wow, rhythmbox sucks then [23:12] :P [23:12] jrib, now I've changed my xorg.conf, should I reboot my computer ? [23:12] help please! how do I set all 3 hard drives in my system at boot for read and write! thanks in advance! [23:12] Dougdoug4, that's the first check, then if that's right it's time to check your bios :) [23:12] OrkSovaj, Ctrl-c triggers a keyboard interrupt. ^C is a side effect that sometimes occurs. What are you using Ctrl-c for? [23:12] Dougdoug4, are you now on Windows? [23:12] blue112: just restart X [23:12] Dougdoug4, there ought to be somewhere were you can change a "boot preference" [23:12] i'm always on windows [23:12] !addinfs | palman [23:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about addinfs [23:12] !addingfs | palman [23:12] palman: If you are adding space to your Ubuntu installation mounting a newly created unix filesystem (ext3, xfs, jfs, etc) you can not set permissions (read, write, etc) filesystem-wide like you do when mounting filesystems that do not support unix permissions (vfat, ntfs, hfs, etc). See !permissions and !fstab [23:12] !addinfs [23:12] nickrud [23:12] I jus tsee one file [23:12] hey, I have a question, I just used the windows installer of ubuntu on windows 7, I get the boot options for Windows 7 and Ubuntu... but when I select Ubuntu it takes me to some grub prompt... any idea what's wrong? I have gotten the initial setup on Ubuntu to work [23:12] jrib, how can I do that since the ctrl alt backspace shortcut is disabled ? [23:12] blue112: sudo service gdm restart [23:12] some idiot told me [23:12] to burn just the .iso [23:13] Nice anticipation. [23:13] i swear to god [23:13] Dougdoug4, then you need to burn it again, as an image. I use imgburn [23:13] you people don't even know ubuntu [23:13] Dougdoug4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:13] Ashfire908: You know, when you don't want to delete the current line with backspace when you did a mistake in a command [23:13] !permissions [23:13] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [23:13] brb then : [23:13] :) [23:13] nickrud [23:13] I have vista.. [23:13] it has a burning thing on it [23:13] !permissions [23:13] ill just use winrar to extract the .iso files to the disk [23:13] and burn [23:13] Is the flash in the Karmic repos the 64 bit beta? [23:13] I just upgraded my LG x110 netbook to karmic. Now the special keys for hibernating, standby and changing LCD backlight don't work anymore [23:13] Dougdoug4, use image burn, it's foolproof. Takes 1 minute to download [23:13] Also, hibernating and standby don't work either if I try them any other way. [23:13] !fstab [23:13] Dougdoug4, can you check your "D:" drive and see if ever you see many folders. otherwise if you see one file ending with .iso you did not burn properly [23:13] 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 [23:13] Dougdoug4, it'll be an awkward text interface, so you'll need to use the arrows and most likely the "+" and "-" keys to change the boot preference to "CDROM" or something similar [23:13] Dougdoug4: the iso is a disk image [23:14] dougdoug, I would recommend ISO recorder for v3 for vista [23:14] Dougdoug4: any disk burning app should be able to burn the iso to disc [23:14] can i make call in ubuntu from one pc to another [23:14] no you people are all just dumb imo [23:14] OrkSovaj, I've used Ctrl-c for that, but that's not the purpose, it's used for ending/closing programs, but bash just makes a new line. [23:14] a bunch of different people [23:14] telling me a bunch of different crap [23:14] how am i suppoesd to process this? [23:14] honestly [23:14] Dougdoug4, you can't keep comming in here and yelling at us. [23:14] i dont even know why i keep trying to install ubuntu [23:14] Dougdoug4, calm down [23:14] isn't it great? you get several choices. [23:14] ubuntu SUX [23:14] Dougdoug4: if you want to make life hard for yourself, go ahead, but don't complain here afterwards. [23:14] Dougdoug4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:14] my karmic install has lost all sound but the pulse audio volume control shows like the sound is working [23:15] Dougdoug4: I suggest you change your attitude if you want to stay in this channel so people can help you [23:15] Dougdoug4, calm down === c is now known as Guest68019 [23:15] Ashfire908: Yes, but it usually dont't promp the "^C" when you did it [23:15] Hi all - where are the grub config files in the new version of grub? [23:15] mka: didnt work [23:15] curt: i cant understand [23:15] Dougdoug4: then don't install it, and leave this chatroom. [23:15] if I say ubuntu sux will someone help me? [23:15] blood: open Terminal [23:15] Dougdoug4, Are ya gonna pull those pistols, or just whistle dixie? [23:15] !grub2 | dav [23:15] b/c he's gotten way more help than I [23:15] dav: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [23:15] Dougdoug4: Just google for an "iso burner"... like Nero or anything else and just burn the image to the disk! [23:15] !enter | Dougdoug4 [23:15] Dougdoug4: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:15] I am not new to this and could really use some help [23:15] Graviton: will have a look thx [23:15] mka: i did, i also deleted the partitons [23:15] Dougdoug4: linux and itÅ› community are not like windows...... you have to adapt. [23:15] curt: it is possible to mae voice call from one pc to another [23:15] damn, easy guys. Dougdoug4 what you do when there's a bunch of people talking is pick one, talk to that one. [23:16] my, I think I have tried everything [23:16] blood: what do you mean? [23:16] ok nickrud [23:16] ill talk to you [23:16] dougdoug, The simplest solution for windows for burning ISO files is "Iso recorder" its free its a small download and ive used it successfully [23:16] update to 9.10 frozen on * Stopping Bluetooth. I don't even have bluetooth hardware [23:16] curt:i am often disconnecting from internet anyway to reconnect it automatically [23:16] my, there is no sound at all from any applications but most apps I tried appeared to be outputting sound in the volume control [23:16] so, burn it correctly. There's several methods, splitting out the iso and burning the files, using isorecorder, or imgburn. Pick your poison [23:16] blood: can you paste bin me the output of "sudo fdisk -l" and of "ls -l /dev/sd*" [23:16] Dougdoug4, I've also used "iso recorder" successfully [23:16] Hi, how can I disable the automount option for ALL usb devices (not only external hdd, but also PDAs, etc...) in Ubuntu KK? Thanks a lot! [23:17] hello everyone [23:17] I DONT NEED AN ISO BURNER [23:17] I HAVE ONE ON VISTA [23:17] Dougdoug4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:17] Dougdoug4: so use it [23:17] !nvidia [23:17] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:17] then burn as an iso :) [23:17] curt: k,i am often disconnecting from internet anyway to reconnect it automatically [23:17] my, I see 100's of new karmic post about not having any sound [23:17] mka: i wanted to test something, with no partitions the drive apears under my computer as a mass storage devise. when i partion the disk with a filesystem it vanishes [23:17] Dougdoug4, the what are you asking here? what is the problem? [23:17] is gb.archive.ubuntu.com down? apt-get is hanging at connecting to that server... [23:17] exodus_ms, he's up to date, just frustrated [23:18] nickrud: thumbs up for what you are doing. [23:18] ah, ok [23:18] i am often disconnecting from internet anyway to reconnect it automatically [23:18] is there a way to totally replicate mac on ubuntu? [23:18] my, what your internet connection got to do with my troubles? [23:18] OrkSovaj, ^C sometimes comes up, but Ctrl-c isn't really a clean command... It's to be expected that ^C will sometimes will come up. [23:18] doug, then what is your problem you need help with? [23:18] Voss, ^^ [23:18] sumeetbali: visually, yes [23:18] You can get an approximation of the mac "feel" sumeetbali [23:18] But you can't run osx apps. [23:18] curt: i am using snl broadand [23:18] Not natively. You can using virtalbox to run them in a virtual machine, technically. [23:18] sumeetbali: you won't be able to run mac apps on ubuntu, though [23:18] blood: so what do you want to do with the drive ultimately? [23:18] I downloaded a rar movie how can i unzip the package [23:18] curt: sorry bsnl road band dsl [23:18] sumeetbali, most likely a theme, or such as. [23:18] hey ubunchu people. why isn't #ubuntu+1 open? [23:19] Any easy-ish way to to back up all programs and files and users from my current install, do a reinstall (of the EXACT same version) and copy eveything back without issues? [23:19] hi all - odd problem I can't figure out... when I login, screen starts automatically - however it's flashing, like a strange control char is being entred somewhere. does anyone have any ideas where to look? [23:19] why does running "apt-get upgrade" no do anything? I was expecting it to upgrade me to 9.10 from 9.04? [23:19] pla anyone? [23:19] is gb.archive.ubuntu.com down? apt-get is hanging at connecting to that server... [23:19] please [23:19] I thought that the kernel and alsa updates that came through today might have been a solution but it wasn't [23:19] tokyomonster: not os x. os x can't be virtualized with vbox [23:19] LLStarks, it usually opens when development starts [23:19] i want to install linux from sorce files to learn [23:19] thanks [23:19] !dist-upgrade [23:19] development has started. [23:19] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper release upgrade methods.

[23:24] aguai, you don't want to do that if /home is a separate partition (wouldn't do it on general principles) [23:24] hahahah [23:24] Voss, but in the upgrade manager I can see that I can upgrade. so I'm just going to do it there. [23:24] my: no Skype isn't available inside Pidgin, but it's a separate program from www.skype.com [23:25] afdasdasd, grandpa? [23:25] notakiller: k i will [23:25] BTW everyone prepare for some epic spamming.

[23:25] we should take it as a matter of pride that ubuntu has become big enough to draw /b/'s attention [23:25] thank you [23:25] mka: as of right now im trying to determine why once i put a file system on the disk its no longer readable. [23:25] nickrud: I found that I need more space for /root [23:25] font? [23:25] hahaha [23:25] s [23:25] jamesch, update-manager -d activates upgrade option in update manager so it did what it was supposed to do [23:25] russlar: I concur [23:26] my: skype is just one of many ways to do voice calls, there's probably something that Empathy can do with voice, but I have no idea - hopefully somebody who knows can help :) [23:26] The-Jag: mmm ... not as easy as I thought [23:26] I'm wondering - If i've installed encrypted LVM is there any benefit to my encrypting of $home as well? or is this a waste? [23:26] exodus_ms, I follow a couple a posts on the forum about removing ~/pulse and ~/asound* and ~/etc/asound.conf and checked my volume settings with alsamixer [23:26] edi_x_x_1: I think you'd be encrypting your encryption [23:26] notakiller: i want another help [23:26] my: huh? [23:26] aguai, your choice; not a big deal if it's same partition. If not, then not having /root will be a problem more or less as you use it. [23:26] nickrud: it's like I use 25G for / and 300G for /home [23:27] blood: But that should be straightforward [23:27] exodus_ms, I even purged everything that had to do with pulseaudio and alsa and then installed them again [23:27] mka: im that noob :) [23:27] snyone catch that [23:27] anyone [23:27] mka: Ah, ok :( thanks anyway; It has to do with some configuration file to edit if I recall correctly [23:27] aguai, remember that /home might not be available. /root is in / for a reason. [23:27] curt, ya, I was going to go that route as well, but then I saw something about checking to see if there is a "Software Driver" enabled in Sys > Admin > Hardware Drivers, disabling it fixed my audio troubles [23:27] russlar, thats what I was thinking. The install gave me the choice to do both and I think I chose it without realising :) Might re-install without the encrypted home I think [23:27] thanks :) [23:27] russlar: ubuntu and /b/ in one sentence - frightening :) [23:27] notakiller:i am often disconnecting from internet any way to reconnect itself [23:28] what is /b/ [23:28] my: I don't know, most likely- but I am not the right person for that question :) [23:28] cjae: 4chan [23:28] curt, sorry "Software Modem" [23:28] cjae: you don't want to know [23:28] blood: can you partition your harddrive the way you want it to be and then mount those partitions in Terminal? [23:28] If i have a wlan0 in my ifconfig, that should mean that it works.. right? [23:28] exodus_ms, the only thing that comes up in the hardware drivers is my nvidia driver [23:28] cjae: the internet's armpit [23:28] nickrud: so what will you do in my situation? [23:28] Guys, it's over and done with, just move on. [23:28] MasterOfDisaster, LOL so true, don't piss of 4chan... [23:29] mka: i can partition the drive again and test if i can do that, 1min [23:29] curt, ok, sorry then dude, I had a "Software Modem" driver activated and when I removed it, my audio worked as advertised === my is now known as prsd [23:29] !offtopic | Remember [23:29] Remember: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:29] reevaluate what I'm putting in /root . Do I absolutely need to do that stuff as root? If there's no other choice, I'd resize. [23:29] has anyone used ''fink'' before [23:29] russlar, you mean the butt? [23:29] sumeetbali: yes [23:30] curt, under sound preferences do you see your hardware listed? [23:30] exodus_ms, ya .. the strange thing is my audio output looks like it's working in the new volume manager app but no sound comes out .. like its unpluged or something [23:30] blood: and please tell me the way you partitioned it (eg sdb1 = ext2 5GB, sdb2 swap 2GB, ....) [23:30] how can i find my os is 32 bit or 64 bit [23:31] I've sudo cp [23:31] prsd: uname -a [23:31] curt, you might have already posted this, but what are you using for audio? [23:31] Wow, the storm is over! [23:31] prsd, uname in a terminal [23:31] prsd: if it says x86_64 -> 64 bit [23:31] mka, don't jinx it! [23:31] I've sudo cp'd a directory of stuff from an ntfs partition to my ubuntu drive and now I don [23:31] x64 is 64bit, i686 is 32 [23:31] exodus_ms, believe me .. this is not my first day .. I have thrown everything I know at it .. [23:31] mka: ext4 29.29gb / linux-swap 7.96gb [23:32] curt, thats cool man, I was just curious as to what card you are using or if you are using some type of internal [23:32] exodus_ms, it's an ich5 onboard intel [23:32] jamesch: have permissions? [23:32] I've sudo cp'd a directory of stuff from an ntfs partition to my ubuntu drive and now I don't have perm's to access the files. is it normal to need to chmod -r after having copied from an ntfs volume? [23:32] curt: you could try http://unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/525-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu910-karmic-koala ? [23:32] curt, hmm [23:32] jamesch: if you copy with sudo, yes [23:32] curt, I'm using an intel onboard as well [23:32] blood: narrow down your swap to 2GB and expand it if you see your machine demands more than that [23:32] arand, no but I will have a look thanks... [23:32] jrib, ok. that's what I'd assumed. what perm level should I chmod to? 775? [23:32] Am I the only one having issues with random apps going unresponsive for no reason? [23:32] So, the notify-osd bubbles -- it's not a bug that they're popping up so low? [23:32] jamesch: you need to *chown* [23:33] blood: the ext4 filesystem is it sdb1? === TheFunkbomb__ is now known as TheFunkbomb [23:33] Started happening when I did a clean install of Karmic :( [23:33] jrib, is that like chown uname:uname [23:33] jamesch: sure [23:33] mka: yeah, i left the swap large because i didint really care that it was large [23:33] jrib, thanks! === PhantomLink is now known as Phantom [23:34] Anyone else? === Phantom is now known as ^Phantom^ [23:34] RPG_Master: I'm seeing that issue with Evolution, goes unresponsive for several seconds at seemingly random intervals [23:34] blood: try this "sudo mkdir /mnt/ext4 && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ext4" [23:34] tokyomonster: nope, supposed to leave room for volume & brightness to always be in one place afaik. === cdoublejj_ is now known as cdoublejj === ^Phantom^ is now known as PhantomLink [23:34] Haven't experienced it with other apps, though [23:34] mka: i mean, i would make it the size of my ram but ive done this many times now to care of the sizes once i got it down ill fix it. [23:35] mka: k, ill try that [23:35] When I shut the lid of my netbook, it suspends even though I have it set to just blank the screen. How do I fix this? === sshc is now known as Guest36072 [23:35] Graviton: Happens to me when I I click Send/receive :( === my is now known as z [23:36] blood: follow that by "sudo chown `whoami` /mnt/ext4" === z is now known as Guest4529 [23:36] But also when I click undo in Gedit, and cancel for some apps... its very random :/ [23:36] i want to reconnect my internet itself when it is disconneted [23:36] Mostly when I click buttons [23:37] RPG_Master: Can't replicate that behaviour, though I have seen a tendency for it to happen when i view a new mail [23:37] hello everybody, i'm new here [23:37] maperx, Welcome. What do you need? [23:38] Graviton: Do you have any idea what could be effect me? [23:38] blood: then paste here the output if "df -h | grep /mnt/ex4" [23:38] Hey, question, first in a long time. [23:38] blood: of === clayton is now known as Guest74335 [23:38] Graviton: And why it started when I upgraded? [23:38] RPG_Master: None whatsoever [23:38] I am trying to compile a alsa program. i get an error, "alsa/asoundlib.h:no such file or directory", [23:38] shout! [23:38] curt, you still around? [23:38] But someone should probably file a bug [23:38] had a question regarding bittorrent and ed2k... why is it that peers can connect to me when i use utorrent in windows but not ktorrent in linux? my ports are forwarded and i'm even using the upnp plugin for ktorrent... and in mldonkey i can never get a highid no matter what i try... is there something i'm missing? and no, i'm not using iptables or any firewall software that i'm aware of unless ubuntu snuck something in... [23:38] Is there any program for ubuntu that can do the same thing as ppf-o-matic for windows? [23:38] after update my ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 in my notebook, it start normally but whitout video [23:38] * Graviton prods RPG_Master a bit :) [23:38] PhantomLink: What does ppf-o-matic do? [23:39] Graviton: I'd file a bug if I knew what was causing it :/ [23:39] what do you wanto do [23:39] the card is Intel GMA 4500MHD [23:39] it appl= [23:39] wait [23:39] I'll try the PPF-o-Matic under WINE first. [23:39] how can i completly deactivate the problem-report? [23:39] It might work. [23:39] use under wine [23:39] RPG_Master: True, it might be helpful with an strace or something like it [23:39] I completely forgot about WINE for a minute there. [23:39] XD [23:39] mka: nothing [23:40] thats what i do [23:40] RPG_Master: just a random guess, might be time to fsck: do "sudo touch /forcefsck" and reboot to run a force-scheduled fsck. Should that end you up with it complaining a lot and not booting, start recovery mode and do "fsck -f -y" [23:40] I might look into it tomorrow, I need to get up in around 7 hours [23:40] I'd file a bug regardless, Graviton/RPG_Master - after running the fsck arand suggests. [23:40] arand: Will try [23:40] [23:40] exodus_ms, yes .. still trying different things [23:40] what do you think Ashfire908?? [23:41] mka: gah, is it the drive... [23:41] RPG_Master/Graviton/arand: If someone else can confirm this behaviour, they'll note that, and someone might be able to track the error. Might also want to point out in your original post if you're using compiz, or whatever. === yofel_ is now known as yofel [23:41] (hello) how can i completly deactivate the problem-report? [23:41] okay [23:41] i hate apple [23:41] i love apple!" [23:41] crazy2be: That's offtopic for this channel, though. Also, why waste your energy? [23:41] maperx, Sorry, not my area of expertise. [23:41] why do you hate apple [23:42] exodus_ms, I love posts where one of the steps is broken .. the one I am on now wants to add sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev [23:42] because there is no way to sync my itouch with ubuntu [23:42] that's why [23:42] exodus_ms, but the friggin key won't download from the repository [23:42] ok, thanks Ashfire908 [23:42] crazy2be, you could use virtualbox [23:42] blood: did you run the commands? [23:42] somebody can help me, please [23:42] crazy2be, have you tried rhythmbox? [23:42] docmax: apport? [23:42] curt, from what I have so far, there seems to be a lot of folks disabling that software modem driver (which you dont have) and checking to see if they are using the right kernel with 9.10 [23:42] curt: You need to add the key manually - try looking here: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/ppa [23:42] crazy2be: well, you can jailbreak it and transfer music that way [23:42] arand, yes? [23:43] can you use virtualbox and add your real harddrive ? and not a virtual one [23:43] mka: seriously it does nothing :( [23:43] So I have a ext2 disk image of my wubi install.. how can I restore that into a fresh installation? I NEED to not lose my files/programs [23:43] blood: ok. for the last time, can you please paste bin me the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [23:43] mka: sure 1 moment [23:43] ji [23:43] hi [23:43] (Very first time in IRC) Can someone help me confirm the options on the "Prepare disk space" install step for 9.10? [23:43] guis [23:43] hello gudmorning to every body... after upgrades from ubuntu 9.04 to ubuntu 9.10 I can't hear any sound from movies and songs... what to do? [23:43] jrib: Which isn't really meant to be done? [23:44] davidkarr: You mean the partitioner? [23:44] maperx, How this works is that you ask your question and if someone knows they will (hopefully) help you. (To note I was more of just welcomeing you) [23:44] sebsebseb: I don't know, I had apple support tell me about jailbreaking when I called them [23:44] exodus_ms, 2.6.31-15-generic [23:44] jrib: oh [23:44] really why do I hear a lot of complaints about 9.04 to 9.10 upgrades? [23:44] yes, I'm wondering what "install side by side" will do. Will it pay attention to that slider underneath, if I move the slider? [23:44] (davidkarr, you can write 'men' then hit tab to completely nick so you don't have to type out the whole thing when replying) [23:44] Anybody help me restore my system from a ext2 image file? [23:44] WACOMalt, you have a raw disk image? [23:45] curt, for karmic is the kermel not 2.6.31.14-generic? [23:45] Ashfire908, ok thanks [23:45] hello gudmorning to every body... after upgrades from ubuntu 9.04 to ubuntu 9.10 I can't hear any sound from movies and songs... what to do? [23:45] ns there as how to re-enable apport, which I guess would also give how to disable it (maybe you could just uninstall it) [23:45] davidkarr: Well, what sort of partition layout are you attempting to get? Do you have a Windows installation you wish to preserve on the side of your Ubuntu installation? Are you looking at getting a completely fresh system with only Ubuntu installed? [23:45] docmax: hmm, I was going to point you at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/UsingDevelopmentReleases but the wiki seems to be down atm (there are instructio) [23:45] sanjay: Many people have had had problems after upgarding 9.04 to 9.10. [23:45] docmax: ns there as how to re-enable apport, which I guess would also give how to disable it (maybe you could just uninstall it) [23:45] Ashfire908: I think. It's technically the disk image from a wubi install. I want to restore it to my new wubi install (both the exact same versions of ubuntu) [23:45] davidkarr: partitioning [23:45] mka: http://pastebin.com/m71809f07 [23:45] MenZa: yes, I have windows, a 320gig drive. It appears like it will divide it in half by default, but I want to have less for windows, but preserving the windows installation. [23:45] arand, i will uninstall it.. thanks [23:45] mka: ubuntu was lagging or somthing [23:46] sanjay: some people had sound problems after upgrading [23:46] exodus_ms, mine is 2.6.31-15-generic [23:46] davidkarr: I see - I've not used this method myself, but I'm looking through the docs. Firstly, are you using Windows Vista? XP? 7? [23:46] sanjay: try http://unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/525-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu910-karmic-koala ? [23:46] sebsebsed :spinky: so what to do overcome this problem [23:46] MenZa: I think he means the guided install? [23:46] Ashfire908: will this be possible? [23:46] WACOMalt, oh. Don't know how wubi handles the disk or what format the file is. [23:47] MenZa: XP2SP3. The docs I've found are either slightly out of date or somewhat ambiguous. [23:47] davidkarr: Your on the Ubuntu Live CD right now, yes, and ran the installer? [23:47] [23:47] after update my ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 in my notebook, it start whitout video (intel 4500 mhd) what can i do? [23:47] Ashfire908: well, it's a .disk file. supposedly ext2 format. [23:47] sebsebseb: Yes, I downloaded the ISO, burned it to a CD, and booted it. [23:47] maperx: You can either find out how to maybe get that working, or do a clean install of 9.10. [23:47] davidkarr, make a backup if you're going to resize your partition [23:47] davidkarr: Can you confirm your first option is something along the lines of "Resize IDE1 master, partition #1 (hda1) and use freed space"? [23:47] davidkarr: ok so the guided install === Dezent_ is now known as Dezent [23:48] can you use virtualbox and add your real harddrive ? and not a virtual one [23:48] WACOMalt, you try switching out the current file with the backup? === PuTrA_caem is now known as andre_cool [23:48] MenZa: The first option is "Install side by side, choosing between them each startup". [23:48] there is any software to login like icq ? [23:48] sebsebseb, ok thanks [23:48] davidkarr: you can do a guided install where it sets things up for you, or a manual install. or set up partitions in Gparted first and then finnish off in manual install [23:48] there is any icq for linux like icq ? ( i mean when you click it it show you write number icq and password) [23:48] I havent, because the reason I had to reinstall was broken grub. which is in the image file of the old one [23:48] whats a really good text editors guys? [23:48] davidkarr: I'm *pretty* sure you get to change how much you want Ubuntu to have if you click next. In any case, you'll have to confirm it before you start installing, so try that. Nothing will be changed. [23:48] Ashfire908: I havent, because the reason I had to reinstall was broken grub. which is in the image file of the old one [23:48] !best | bloodw [23:48] bloodw: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel.

[23:49] MenZa: When I did "Forward" from that page, it gave me a dialog that said "Write previous changes to disk and continue?" It said "before you can select a new partition size, any previous changes have to be written to disk." [23:49] WACOMalt, pidgin? [23:49] erUSUL emacs or xemacs [23:49] davidkarr: Your section option is what? (I remember you have three) [23:49] blood: I am happy with your sdb [23:50] it is fine [23:50] davidkarr: Try going back, for the record [23:50] Ashfire908: yeah, once I get this restored to a new wubi, I will be doing the wubi > real partition conversion.

[23:50] MenZa: "Install them side by side", "erase and use the entire disk", and "Specify partitions manually" [23:50] WACOMalt, oops, wrong person [23:50] !repeat | xtroper [23:50] xtroper: 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. [23:50] thanks [23:50] xtroper, pidgin [23:50] how to kill an uninterruptible process [23:50] digitalstimulus: np [23:50] ? [23:50] blood: you can put an entry in your /etc/fstab and mount it all the time your machine starts up [23:50] bloodw: emacs [23:50] pidgin but not like icq [23:50] no holy wars for text editors please... [23:50] hi I'm having troble with new 9.10. Sometimes my keyboard goes crazy and it freeze like if I push always the same button. I trined to deconnect it (usb) but nothing it continue to print the same letter and I have to reboot [23:50] i want like icq when u open it you write number and password [23:50] any idea ? [23:50] davidkarr: Then you want the first one... the docs I'm reading through right now says you get to "specify the size of the new partition as a size of your harddisk" [23:50] :o when was 9.10 released? [23:51] digitalstimulus: MenZa manual install is good, but first maybe set up partitions in Gparted system > administration > partition editor and then finnish off there. seperate homes are good to set up a new install [23:51] blood: I have to go to bed now [23:51] mka: tell me how to mount in term plz [23:51] Ashfire908: if I just mount the disk file in my new wubi install, and copy everything over but the boot, and other grub folders, will that work? [23:51] i want like icq when u open it you write number and password [23:51] NetEcho: during 10/2009, as the name says ;) [23:51] sebsebseb, wrong person :) [23:51] sebsebseb, i'do start with a pendrive (ubuntu 9.10) and get the same problem [23:51] thanks [23:51] davidkarr: Will you let me have a second to try and boot the LiveCD ina virtual machine? [23:51] mka: ok, thx for the help mka appreciate it [23:51] i want like icq when u open it you write number and password [23:51] blood: I think it is mounted already [23:51] digitalstimulus: oh this again :( [23:51] xtroper: pidgin works with icq [23:51] davidkarr: see above [23:51] i never liked pidgen [23:51] does anyone know if there is a way to stream data into a file and have it be limited so it's always only like 30mb and have older data in the file be deleted? i'm trying to stream DV video to vlc which streams to internet, and I don't want it to use up my /dev/shm directory [23:51] but i want only icq that you open it you see number and password and click connet like icq 6.5 [23:51] hi [23:51] ah so thats where the logic of *.04 and *.10 comes from [23:51] xtroper: and dont spam the same message [23:51] blood: please paste here the output of "df -h | grep /mnt/ext4" [23:52] is there a graphicd utility i can use to edit iptables rules [23:52] xtroper, that is called a username and password. i believe pidgin works with icq [23:52] !ot | xtroper [23:52] !iptables | cygnus_ [23:52] xtroper: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [23:52] cygnus_: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [23:52] MenZa: When the "Install them side by side" is checked, there is a slider below all of the options, with Windows blue on the left, and Ubuntu orange on the right, and it's essentially divided the disk in half. My intention is to move the slider to the left a bit, leaving more for ubuntu. I assume this will allocate it the way I specify, still preserving what was in the windows partition? === judgen_ is now known as judgen [23:52] but i want only icq that you open it you see number and password and click connet like icq 6.5 [23:52] you dont understand i dont want pidgin [23:52] davidkarr: I just messaged you well tried to, so check out what I put [23:52] WACOMalt, I would actually try (make a backup of the backup :) ) to put the new /boot and /etc/grub.d in the old filesystem. [23:52] xtroper, then contact the people that make icq and ask them for a linux version [23:52] davidkarr: That's correct. [23:52] thanks [23:52] xtroper: set it to not remember your password then. Or set up all of your icq accounts. Why would you want to have to manually log in all the time [23:52] davidkarr: Assuming it doesn't break something horribly - although I do have a suggestion, which has been mentioned by sebsebseb [23:52] MenZa: Ok, I guess I'll try it. [23:52] mka: hey it did somthibng that time... [23:53] mka: /dev/sdb1 29G 172M 28G 1% /mnt/ext4 [23:53] davidkarr: wait [23:53] WACOMatt : i am not the only one that use in computer thats why i want maunally [23:53] blood: yep! [23:53] Hey, in Karmic, how do I configure GDM? the gdmsetup only allows me to change auto login settings, I can't change sound, theme or anything now [23:53] oddhyena, uhm, i don't really know, but it seems to me that that's not really possibly to do with a physical *file* on the disk almost by definition [23:53] davidkarr: By default, Ubuntu will install all of its files - your personal files, applications settings, programs, etc. in *one* partition. It is preferable to have a seperate / [root], /home [/home], and swap, so in case you need to re-install, you can do so without losing any of your settings, or personal files. [23:53] blood: it is in /mnt/ext4 [23:53] xtroper: then why dont you have different users on the computer? pidgin will be separated per user [23:53] xtroper, this channel is for ubuntu support. we have given you an alternative. try offtopic chat [23:53] oddhyena: files are easy to append to, but expensive to pop stuff from [23:53] xtroper, so setup pidgin to use icq and dont remember the password? whats the problem? [23:53] Hello. I want to change an icon of a tag in F-Spot. I click on "edit tag" and the image. How can I choose another image (of the 20 listed ones)? === phix_ is now known as phix [23:53] mka: sweet [23:53] I'll probably do a dist upgrade next week [23:53] davidkarr: if you haven't told it to to install anything yet, you can cancel install, and do things my way or Menza's way which results in you getting a seperate /home as well [23:53] boot Bomj for adult spam [23:54] blood: but if you reboot it will not be mounted there anymore [23:54] unless the other night I did do one already [23:54] duffyhack : i want icq like icq 6.5 not pidgin ( when you open it its tell you write number and password) [23:54] thats all [23:54] WACOMalt, did you run checkdisk yesterday on your windows partition? [23:54] mka: thats what fstab is aboot [23:54] Ashfire908: how can I mount the disk image with write access? even without -o ro, I only have read access. [23:54] does anyone know how to set up a dv camcorder as a video4linux device? [23:54] davidkarr: Is this what you want to do? === glebelg__ is now known as glebelg [23:54] blood: thats 100% right! [23:54] mka: i can ask other people about that, you go sleep :) [23:55] WACOMalt, you prob need root access. with the disk check thing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Cannot%20boot%20into%20Ubuntu [23:55] blood: ok cheers [23:55] xtroper: sorry. it doesn't work that way on any program on linux I know of. now stop reposting the same question. [23:55] thnx again ;) [23:55] LjL: Hey buddy, have you experienced the same issue I am having in Karmic? [23:55] wacomalt : i dont tell you i want icq 6.5 [23:55] xtroper: have you tried Licq? it is in Synaptic package manager === Guest4529 is now known as my [23:56] Does anyone know the zsh setup script app name? [23:56] maperx: oh I see you were getting my attention by the pm [23:56] Ashfire908: I have read that page a thousand times :( [23:56] idleone : its remember only my icq [23:56] in licq [23:56] MenZa: Yes, I want to have everything in ubuntu in a single partition, if possible. [23:56] hi all [23:56] maperx: uhmm I haven't done a USB install myself before, and you should try a clean install of 9.10 really [23:56] WACOMalt, is the old filesystem actually mounted read only or do you lack access in linux to change any files? [23:56] notakiller: weather we want to payto create a account [23:56] phix: GDM isn't configurable in Karmic [23:57] LjL: why? [23:57] xtroper: just set up a user for each person using the computer. Problem solved. no need to manually type in anything. [23:57] phix: i don't know, i didn't make it. [23:57] phix: well, it is, but not as much as before, you can change the wallpaper and some of the theme, but that is about it [23:57] LjL: hmmmmm, so it is a gdm issue? [23:57] wacomalt : but i dont know all the numbers and password of my familty [23:57] http://www.abluestar.com/utilities/rndimages/img/acer.jpg [23:57] and if my friend want to come [23:57] you tell stupid things [23:57] phix: You can try KDM instead of GDM 2, which looks nice in Karmic. It can be themed, but that default theme is rather nice. [23:57] sebsebseb: thanks you so much [23:57] xtroper: so have THEM type them in when they log into their accounts. not that hard. [23:58] phix: i don't think it's considered an "issue" [23:58] davidkarr: In that case, follow sebsebseb's lead (if you will, sebsebseb? I've gotten sidetracked over something - apologies) [23:58] sebsebseb: I could do that, but I quite like Gnome :) [23:58] WACOMalt, sorry, are you planning to convert this to a dual-boot setup? A bit ago you said something that hinted at that. [23:58] its not comrfotrable like you only write icq num ber and password without go to options or something [23:58] LjL: Sounds like a bug to me :) [23:58] phix: GDM 2 I think icons and colours can be changed and that's it unless you edit source code. The reason it can't be themed like the old one is, because that feature got removed or whatever, whilst they were cleaning up the code. [23:58] hello [23:58] xtroper: we have told you how to use icq in linux, if that isn't what you want then you can contact the maintainers of ICQ and ask them to write a linux version [23:58] Evenin - I'm having an issue with my LG Flatron monitor in Karmic. . . [23:58] MenZa: and I decided to only follow one person, so I'll backtrack and see what sebsebseb said. :) [23:58] Well it's windows xp and linux yes, but they will be separate drives. I am removing OSX from the PC already [23:58] sebsebseb: oh ok [23:58] Ashfire908: Well it's windows xp and linux yes, but they will be separate drives. I am removing OSX from the PC already [23:59] davidkarr: Again, my apologies. You *can* use the "Install them side by side" option. If Ubuntu is too small, it *can* be resized later. === my is now known as guest [23:59] Idloe : there is only licq and pidgin ? [23:59] sebsebseb: so it just isn't in there any more? or is it a hidden feature? [23:59] davidkarr: well I have helped people partition new installs, many times in here and such, it would be more interesting for me to see MenZa help you [23:59] WACOMalt, regardless if they are on different drives, it's still dual-boot. How do you have OSX on the computer? is this a mac? [23:59] xtroper: kopete also supports icq, by the way a quick internet search would of given you this info [23:59] sebsebseb: I wont to get rid of the startup up sound (the drum noise) [23:59] davidkarr: Go for that option. If you need to resize it later, then that can be done, but it might take a bit of time. :) [23:59] want even [23:59] phix: if you're feeling brave, gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties; will allow you to change the wallpaper and the theme, you will need to restart gdm to see the changes and it will bring up a little universal access icon that you can disable in System/Preferences/Keyboard on the accessibility tab
