[00:00] Ashfire908: no, it's the OSx86 project. Works great actually, but I no longer need it. Native Leopard 10.5.6 [00:00] phix: If you change to KDM there won't be a noise [00:00] why does ctrl-alt-backspace no longer kill the gdm? [00:00] curt: it has been replaced by alt+sysrq+k [00:00] !dontzap | curt [00:00] curt: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [00:00] MenZa: help them set up a new install with seperate home? or am I going to do it? [00:01] ALT+SysRq+K kills all processes? or just X? [00:01] Is anyone familiar with the program Gizmod? [00:01] ! windows | hsn [00:01] hsn, please see my private message [00:01] phix, Uh.... one sec === Pretto is now known as malassombrado [00:02] what is IBus? [00:02] :) [00:02] Since I upgraded to 9.10 my sound does not work correctly anymore. I do hear something simetimes but there is real big noise going on. I am on a amd64 machine > 2.6.31-14-generic [00:02] sebsebseb: No need for a seperate home - he said he wanted it on one partition :) === malassombrado is now known as Pretto [00:02] phix: ibus is an input method manager [00:02] phix: it is for typing in various languages [00:02] trism: ok :) [00:02] Ashfire908: If I do the Wubi > real-partition conversion, and then reinstall grub maybe? [00:03] davidkarr: I think you can just do it in manual install, but what I would normalley do is make two partitions in Gparted system > administration > partition editor 12GB or so for / big seperate home, put some swap space double the RAM usaulley. and then finnish it off in manual install in the installer, and tell it which partition to use for / and which to use for /home and install [00:03] !splash [00:03] To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [00:03] Is anyone well versed in Java? [00:03] Lostinspace_46: You might want to try #java - this is offtopic for this channel :) [00:03] Lostinspace_46: ##java [00:03] erUSUL: thanks for correcting [00:04] davidkarr: seperate /home is good, because then if you need to re install, you don't have to move data around Also if later on you want to install another distro instead you can keep the same stuff. [00:04] phix, "Kills all programs on the current virtual console", if you are in the gui right now, yes that will, but I don't think that's a good way to do it. [00:04] MenZa: i'm not really sure... just a guess [00:04] erUSUL: seems likely [00:04] davidkarr: if you don't want to do a sepeare /home do one of the guided install optons [00:04] WACOMalt, that could work. [00:04] erUSUL: #java should => ##java in any case [00:04] yep ;P [00:04] sebsebseb: I think at this point I'll try to keep it simple. [00:05] davidkarr: well that's the guided install then [00:05] Why cant I select that Ubuntu does nothing when I close my laptop lid? [00:05] that options is now simply gone in 9.10? [00:05] Help! My screen keep randomly blinking for no apparent reason! [00:05] so that means that when I have connected the laptop to my TV, then close my laptop, I can either have it shutdown/suspend/hibernate or give me a blank screen, which also affects the TV.. [00:05] MenZa, I will give that a try..thanks [00:05] davidkarr: it's worth taking the time to make a seperate /home you will probably at some point need to reinstall and having the /home saves headaches [00:06] hi, I'm not sure where else I could ask this - it's not exactly ubuntu related - but could someone help with why my MB's post only shows 3264MB of RAM and not 4096MB? [00:07] IdleOne: it's ashame realy that the installer doesn't do those by default [00:07] why would squirrelmail give me this error.... [00:07] : Relay access denied [00:07] when sending.. [00:07] Untouchab1e, my system doesn't even follow that setting. [00:08] IdleOne: well no that's not going to be good in all installs really, but it would be good if the installer provided an easy option for it [00:08] i have some prolem in using internet in ubuntu 9.10 [00:08] jamesch, ##hardware Does ubuntu see the full 4GB?

There is a inhibit applet that is supposed to disable automaticlly suspending, etc, which could work for you. [00:09] is there anything wrong with the code? [00:09] jamesch, are the sticks good? [00:09] IdleOne: I understand, but the choices are a little too complicated at this point. I'll live with the vanilla install for now. [00:10] Ashfire908, I'm not sure, how would I test that? [00:10] jamesch: A lot of MB reserver memeory for graphics aperature and shared memory..... [00:10] davidkarr: that is fine :) just wanted to inform you.

[00:15] I want to stay with Ubuntu, how much admin time is the job worth? [00:15] sebsebseb: I didn't say I'd "installed" unix/linux before (except for the box I'm typing on now), I've just used it for a long time. [00:15] just an honest ballpark estimate so I know who to ignore [00:16] hey, can't find services in administration panel anymore? have they changed it in karmic or something? === andrew_ is now known as Guest95964 [00:16] Please, help this newbie!

[00:23] nada [00:24] anyone dual boot and tried to install 9.10, and GRUB not work right? I have 2 SATA drives, sda/sdb. Windows on sda, ubuntu always on sdb. 9.04 just did it fine (32bit) 9.10 after 4 installs and manually selecting /dev/sda/ as drive to install GRUB sits at a black screen w/ GRUB _ (blinking cursor) [00:24] jamesch: Many people can only use 3.5 GB on their 4 GB motherboards, it is a common issue... [00:24] How do I install vmware server in ubuntu [00:25] I was under the impression that hte 3.5GB limit was OS dependent.

[00:26] ok so i am am hardy heron, desktop computer, linksys wrt54gs router, and i cannot connect to the internet behind the router...i can only ping the router itself [00:26] jamesch: It's a 32bit thing, not an OS thing. Although there are tricks that you can use (PAE) to address all 4GB, just not at the same time. [00:26] jamesch: it is and MB manufacturerś only planned for windows support and used the address space for performance/raid/graphics support in BIOS. [00:26] jamesch: the linux-generic-pae kernel will let you (assuming your hardware does) [00:27] nullp0inter, sounds like the router is not working. or does that problem only appear with your 8.04 box? [00:27] rdz: i only have this one computer [00:28] Flannel, thing is that my POST only shows 3264MB as being available, which is odd.

I have several problems, but the very important thing is that I cannot read the USB Thumb. I read some thread on the forum. They suggest to disable the USB Legacy Policy on the BIOS. I tried but this trick works just first time that I boot. if I reboot a second time the OS doesn't read the USB Thumb. And if I try to mount manually it says to me that the special device sdc1 doesn't exist. any suggestion?

[00:41] sudo fdisk -l will list your devices, if that helps [00:41] jamesch, you can set your swapiness higher if you want to use it [00:42] jamesch, but it probably because you have alot of ram [00:42] fokuslee, aha, ok. [00:42] hi [00:42] all [00:42] lordganesh: I've had good luck using a program called unetbootin [00:42] fleixius: when I boot first time after disabling the USB Legacy policy on bios I have that: ~$ sudo fdisk -l [00:42] ....

[00:43] sabat: what is an example of the device and location plz [00:43] mennendez: Many people have had problems after upgrading 9.04 to 9.10.

[00:43] sabat, thanks. I wasn't entirely sure what the swap was used for :) [00:44] anyone here using an hp d5460 printer (or similar) to print on cds? [00:44] jamesch, yes it is sudo aptitude install preload [00:44] and keep same hardware when upgrade [00:44] lordganesh: What OS will you be using to create the live USB?

[00:45] blue0488: the only thing i know of for certain is if you right click on a flash movie, and disable hardware acceleration you get some better performance [00:46] Voss: comic you mean like favourite I assume [00:46] I use mountscripts, so I forget.

(Like what seems to be happening on my system). [01:00] I don't know what it's called, but all drives have a "id string" and grub uses taht id string instead, so it doesn't matter where the drive is located in /dev [01:00] epinky: nvm man, I was able to fix it. very easy >_< [01:00] sevol: snddevices should be there afaik [01:00] MenZa, 32bit karmic [01:00] no, that did confuse me [01:00] i have wine installed, i went on there website, how can i get games?

[01:21] Is anyone else having problems with Nautilus segfaulting in karmic koala (64-bit) [01:21] sanubuntu, "desktop" is just a folder in your ~, if you goto ~/Desktop is the file there? [01:21] every guide i have seen is for an old version of ubuntu [01:21] Lenin_Cat, you can choose to enable it in your keyboard layout [01:21] sanubuntu, if so, it might just be an error in GDM [01:21] my version is 8.04 [01:21] Rondo, at the next release, you may not get new stuff that's part of the desktop [01:21] dan123: are you using vesa driver? cuz that is very limited [01:21] jmerfeld: that's a pretty specific question. Try reading the mythtv docs or posting on the forums [01:21] i think so [01:21] how do i get a better one [01:21] what log was reporting the min,current, and max? [01:21] Rondo, the ubuntu-desktop package is a list of packages that make up the desktop for that release. [01:21] jmerfeld: If you get an answer to your question.. I'd really like to know! I've not been able to get shares working for my multimedia centre either. It sees the shares.. but none of the files in them. [01:22] epinky, that didn't work either, I found this on google, but so far that doesn't give me any luck either: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/package-installation-error-and-solution.html [01:22] 640x480 for both [01:22] i got them to for one time.. until i reboot, but now want them to work automaticly.

[01:29] thijs: do it in the directory where your flashplugin lives [01:29] rhodesm1, dunno. lol. it made its own boot record..i cant help with backing up MBR [01:29] thijs: do it in the directory where your flashplugin .deb lives [01:29] XPS007, by the Hardware driver utility in the system file? [01:29] rhodesm1: You can backup your mbr using dd, but I don't recall how much of the raw device you have to copy. [01:29] supergrub can change it [01:30] I have a string in a C++ program that I would like to display it as red. I'm not using any GUI, just displaying it on the terminal. How would I do this? [01:30] 446 bytes IIRC [01:30] pleintonpipe, yes. in the System > Admin > Hardware Drivers [01:30] 512 bytes = MBR + partition table [01:30] xps007: thanks anyway. btw, when you say unallocated, do you mean not on any current partition? [01:30] youngblood: I think you have to insert the right ANSI code in front of it to turn it red, and the right one behind it to put it back to the color it was at.. but I'm no expert on that. [01:30] XPS007, it says that there's no driver [01:30] xps007: i will need to carve out a separate partition for ubuntu correct? [01:31] epinky, doesn't make a difference [01:31] youngblood: ##c++ is probably more appropriate or #bash [01:31] rhodesm1, yes, free space [that is not on a partition] [01:31] rhodesm1 yes [01:31] pleintonpipe, i dont know then... [01:31] hello! I'm trying to edit the fstab so my hard drives are read and write, though where do I put the 'rw' in the file?

This started occuring since I did a clean install of Ubuntu Karmic and I am using Mozilla Firefox but the problem seems to occur in chrome as well. I have also tried using Gnash and SWFdec. Does anyone know what would cause this? [01:31] thanks in advance! [01:31] rhodesm1, no, Ubuntu makes the partitions for you when it installs [01:31] thijs: what's the name of the deb package? [01:31] Heebie, Do you have a pointer to a doc? [01:31] rhodesm1, thats if you select use free space, or use whole disk.

I've noticed in Ubuntu 9.10 that unit with a name such as sheboygan (nine characters) will not be seen, yet another I have with sheb shows up. The samba.conf is the same on both boxes. [01:35] mikeru: If you can get into the keyboard control panel (I believe it's under region & language.. but I might be wrong.) you should be able to tell it exactly what keyboard you have. [01:35] xps, thanks again. ttyl. [01:35] is there a cmd/possibility to cd to a directory in terminal then open that directory up? [01:36] devol: Open that directory up in a GUI you mean? nautilus .

[01:58] flashplugin-nonfree [01:59] thijs: sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree [01:59] clearscreen, no, that gave the same result === zach is now known as Akston [01:59] does anyone knwo how to seek in mplayer when using dvdnav:// ? arrow keys don't work [02:00] flaarg, http://pastebin.com/m14f736c2 [02:00] I have php5, the application I am installing requires gd2 support. What is the best method to add this? [02:00] thijs: how did you install it? [02:01] davdm2010, your distro should have a package that installs the PHP GD plugin [02:01] anyway just install flashplugin-nonfree [02:01] davdm2010, sudo apt-get install php5-gd ? [02:01] OK, will I need to uninstall php? [02:01] how do i shutdown my computer with command line? [02:01] shutdown -h now ? [02:02] sudo halt [02:02] sudo shutdown -h now [02:02] bloodw, that does [02:02] when i do that [02:02] my computer just reboots [02:02] it doesnt turn off [02:02] any idea why [02:02] davdm2010, how did you install php? [02:02] push the power button [02:02] or is halt considered bad practice and i didn't know it? [02:02] so, on ubuntu systems what is the easiest way to open an arbitrary file or folder from a command line? [02:02] bloodw, you could try -P instead of -h then [02:02] for example, on mac osx you can open a folder with 'open .' or an image with 'open image.png' [02:02] Hebbie: I see Heebie left, but it turns out that even though I disabled the RAID on my SATA ports, the RAID setup can still be defined, and thus causing the mix-up. Once I deleted the RAID setup, I booted back into the Live CD, and no dmraid or /dev/mapper. [02:02] klem_: he askeds specifically for command line [02:02] ahh ok [02:02] let me try [02:03] flaarg, I downloaded the .deb file from the website, but i think i overrided the ubuntu-restricted-extras while installing [02:03] springmeyer, same on linux [02:03] thijs: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobe-flashplugin.prerm [02:03] so i have been trying to connect to the Internet via a linksys router and a wired connection. hasnt been working..i tried using dhclient to renew itself..it finds 192.168.1.1 as the ip..but then i cant do antyhing [02:03] anyone here know the shortcut to seek in mplayer?

[02:04] nullp0inter: what kind of security on the router? [02:04] aspidites: wpa2 [02:04] epinky, removed that, but doesn't make any difference, and also removed the postinst (figured for the reinstall) [02:04] thijs: sudo dpkg-reconfigure adobe-flashplugin --force [02:04] Hi, I need a little help with NDISWRAPPER.... anyone available and willing? [02:04] nullp0inter: and i assume you have wpa-supplicant installed? [02:04] aspidites: i am not connecting via wireless though..wired [02:05] aspidites: i dont know [02:05] kostkon: If I get an "regex compilation error" should I be alarmed? [02:05] thijs: and finally "sudo dpkg --purge --force-all adobe-flashplugin" [02:05] unop_: cool, that works for an image, but when I try with '.' or a directory I get: [02:05] nullp0inter: oh. brb. gonna pastie some stuff [02:05] hi [02:05] $ xdgo-open .

[02:06] I think this is heating my pc [02:06] kostkon: no, just install to get gd2 support [02:06] OerHeks, yea, will do [02:06] what could be]??? [02:06] use synaptic [02:06] unop_: me neither, I'm not using nautilis [02:06] nullp0inter: assuming "eth0" is infact your interface, that should be all you need to connect [02:06] thijs: use synaptic [02:07] aspidites: i use dhclient..so im assuming instead of dhcpcd et0 i could do dhclient eth0 [02:07] davdm2010, you mean the php5-gd package? [02:07] nullp0inter: correct [02:07] II have a notebook dell inspiron 1525 and it is heating. I look in system monitor and the two CPU are 100% of usage [02:07] springmeyer, what do you use? [02:07] nullp0inter: as for automating the process, i myself use wicd, so i can't give any details on any other methods [02:07] kostkon: Well, I understand that gd and gd2 are different. [02:08] epinky, ok, will try [02:08] I am a newb, so I don't know for sure. [02:08] davdm2010, oh, right. ok. [02:08] can anyone help me increase my screen resolution? [02:08] this may be a stupid question, but what's the easiest way to set up windows file sharing in ubuntu? (cifs server) [02:08] k thanks aspidites [02:08] unop_: well, I'm not sure, whatever karmic defaults too (perhaps nautalis?) I'm just trying to figure out how to open a file from the command line in whatever image viewer the distro can... [02:08] epinky, install flashplugin-nonfree? [02:09] thijs: yep [02:09] does anybody know of an irc channel dealing with abc notation or at least open source music? [02:09] or music notation in general? [02:10] (hopefully abc though) [02:10] is there way to make terminal higher resolution on bootup [02:10] thijs: using synaptic, right? [02:10] epinky, yes [02:10] does anybody know of an irc channel dealing with abc notation or at least open source music? [02:10] epinky, it's configuring it right now [02:10] Where under 9.10 do I turn services on and off? [02:10] springmeyer, well, xdg-open should handle the second part to your question. as for the first part, I would think you'd need to configure associations for directories .. probably through "defaults.list" [02:11] unop_: okay, great, thank you [02:11] epinky, doesn't seem to make any progress though [02:11] is there way to make terminal higher resolution on bootup [02:11] how can you tell on ubuntu what version it is [02:11] nevermind, apparently nautilus has an option for it [02:11] ok .... seriously .... I've spent hours combing the help pages and forums and still no sound on Karmic. [02:12] davdm2010, as i can see, it has libgd2-xpm as a dependency, so maybe the gd in php5-gd is indeed gd v2. http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/php5-gd [02:12] jimp System->Administration->System Monitor->System tab [02:12] man it's not easy to get ubuntu installed as dual boot on a mac pro eh [02:12] can't seem to get rEFIt to see the Ubuntu install :( [02:12] trying once again now though [02:12] jimp: System->Administration->System Monitor->System tab [02:12] hou5ton: did it work with other releases?

Is anyone willing to help me please?? [02:15] poacheR: well ... I've been to many sites and forums and basically tried all that has been suggested that looked reasonable, and that I felt comfortable doing [02:15] I followed all the guides, but i get error messages every time i do something [02:15] have you tried tweaking stuff in alsamixer ? [02:15] poacheR: getting rid of PulseAudeo [02:15] (i.e. run alsamixer from the terminal) [02:15] hou5ton, firstly, could you open a terminal and give: uname -a and post the output here [02:15] ndisgtk says it cannot detect the modem, what does this mean? [02:15] hou5ton, what have you tried so far? [02:15] hello [02:16] hou5ton: have you installed alsa [02:16] kostkon: Linux hou5ton-laptop 2.6.31-15-generic-pae #49-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 6 11:09:56 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [02:16] hou5ton: and alsa-utils === idiot is now known as Guest4845 [02:16] it's a fresh ubuntu 9.10 install from cd ... surely it's installed by default? [02:16] alsa that is === Guest4845 is now known as pleintonpipe [02:16] I don't think alsa-utils is installed by default [02:16] hou5ton, ok. have you tried following these suggestions here?: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1307019 [02:16] this is the latest thing i did: http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/525-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu910-karmic-koala [02:16] oh right [02:17] hou5ton, especially the part where it says to install the linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic package and reboot [02:17] I have found that just using pulseaudio keeps you from having massive headaches in ubuntu [02:18] hello [02:18] is anyone here? [02:18] flaarg, actually pulseaudio sits on top of alsa [02:18] should I just install about everything that says "alsa" [02:18] in synaptic?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:18] hou5ton, try the linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic package [02:18] true but you don't have all the alsa-utils and you have to have /etc/init.d/alsa-utils to run alsa very well without pulseaudio [02:19] ctmjr; yes [02:19] kostkon: ok [02:19] epinky, it's almost done downloading (@4k/s), i'm exited, thanks for all your help already === infogulch1 is now known as infogulch [02:19] and you have the windows drivers from xp and not vista [02:19] ctmjr; I initially only used the terminal, since i find it more reliable, but when that didn't work i tried the GUI [02:19] yes [02:19] I have also found that if you run deluge without pulseaudio installed deluged can lock your dsp [02:19] thijs: :) [02:19] flaarg, ?? [02:20] kostkon: my thought exactly but fuser said deluged had control over my /dev/snd/* [02:20] so I reinstalled pulseaudio and got all my programs to work with it again and have no issues since pulse locks those too [02:21] epinky, yay! it works like a charm! thanks a lot, OerHeks, flaarg and clearscreen thanks for all your help [02:21] zeroleaf: what does ndiswrapper -l show and any errors from sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [02:21] thijs: you're welcome :D [02:21] I installed the 9.10 patch and after 2 reboot my resolution went to 800 by 600 and now I cant go higher [02:22] frack@smeg:~$ ndiswrapper -l [02:22] rt2870 : driver installed [02:22] frack@smeg:~$ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [02:22] WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release.

[02:25] eL_pSycHo: I don't mind at all. however, i'm just curious as to how they were able to calm down the people who would, I assume, have been outraged by the decision :) [02:25] kostkon: I did the apt-get install php5-gd, it updated and I am all set. [02:25] un/replugged it [02:25] davdm2010, :) [02:25] jose: which process is using the cpu? [02:25] kostkon: thanks [02:25] rsc___: it's kind of hard to be outraged when it can be enabled again by clicking a checkbox in the gnome appearance menu [02:25] davdm2010, no prob :) [02:25] rsc___, i dont mind either but it took me by surprise... i mean, no one mentioned it. i guess no one minds...

[02:27] rsc___, shows you that as long as you offer the choice to change it back then its all good. unlike the new notification popup placement which you have to download another notify deb to fix. [02:27] I booted into the LiveCD and then to the desktop, finally loading the Broadcom STA driver and then starting the installer. The system locks up and slowly faded to white and I had to use Alt-SysRq-B to restart. [02:27] ctmjr; i unplugged it and plugged it back in... what next?

[02:44] ctmjr; 050d:935b [02:44] epinky, can I do it with apt-get? [02:44] ok dmesg gave me a really long list of stuff .. how do I narrow that down? [02:44] david-me: then paste the link here [02:44] sumeetbali: could try kopete, not that I think it will work much better if you can't get pidgin to work [02:44] zeroleaf: ok brb [02:44] i have a relatively small problem, whenever i close my laptop while still in ubuntu, when i reopen it the keyboard and mouse pad wont work, any ideas? [02:44] yes like kicking me off or not logging me in just problems...i am looking for a new stable one [02:45] Gabs: it should be near the end [02:45] okay will try that [02:45] sumeetbali: pidgin and empathy are both very stable for me, maybe your internet connection is not stable [02:45] jose: not very sure, I think you've got to recompile drivers from source [02:45] Docteh: well I see some USB references but nothing with anything SD* [02:45] Gabs: you could also look in /dev/by-id/ or anything that looks obviously usb [02:45] no my internet is stable its the client thats not [02:45] sumeetbali, give this article http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/04/msn-linux-im-ubuntu.html a look if you want [02:46] could someone point me to a guide for debugging audio issues in Ubuntu? [02:46] I know I have 2 partitions on this drive SD1 and SD5 [02:46] Gabs: dmesg | grep sd [02:46] it was working completely fine [02:46] and now it stopped, completely out of the blue [02:46] without any major upgrades or configuration changes [02:46] epinky, do you know where I can find them. I look on intel website but I can't found [02:46] http://pastebin.com/m167ac612 [02:47] audio software thinks it's playing (audacious, xine) but no sound gets produced [02:47] sumeetbali: well if you have problems with both pidgin and empathy i doubt you will have any luck with another im client [02:47] nefele: ubuntu uses pulseaudio and alsa, maybe look into that? [02:47] thanks its wierd yahoo and aim work its just msn dosnt [02:47] (I'm WindowsUser so i can't be more specific) [02:47] okay installed 'gsynaptics' and unchecked 'disable touchpad while typing' under sys > prefs > mouse > touchpad. in gsynaptics if I uncheck 'enable touchpad' my cursor will not move, any suggestions. bug report here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/404638 [02:47] I shoulda gotten this netbook with XP ... [02:47] Docteh, I did, trying OSS, Alsa and Pulseaudio, but it's the same across the board [02:47] Hey, would anyone mind telling me how I can set up a dual-boot rig with XP (already installed) and Ubuntu Remix on a netbook? [02:48] nefele, it seems that some of your volume levels got muted [02:48] kostkon, unfortunately not [02:48] never get netbook worst mistake of my life [02:48] aumix and alsamixer show non-zero levels [02:48] unless there are some hidden mute options [02:48] eXeonical, isn't that what its supposed to do? [02:48] nefele, hmm [02:48] exodus_ms, * [02:48] * exodus_ms laughs at the thought of ditching ubuntu because of no "disable touchpad" workaround [02:48] The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. Anyone know how to solve this issue? [02:49] exodus_ms, isn't that what its supposed to do? [02:49] !touchpad [02:49] its just msn thats not working ...any suggestions [02:49] For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad === j_ is now known as f00b [02:49] linuxguy2009, either install the flashplugin-nonfree or enable the partner repo and install the adobe-flashplugin. that's why you are getting this msg [02:50] exodus_ms, obviously if you disable the touchpad you wont be able to use it [02:50] Bam_Bam, well, in 9.04 I could disable the touchpad and I was able to still use it to navigate, but it would not respond to pressure as a click/select action which it is doing now [02:50] is anyone else having issues with external drives in 9.10 not being recognized [02:50] linuxguy2009, you need to enable the partner repo in software sources. or it maybe means that you downloaded the deb from adobe's site === S is now known as Guest21741 [02:50] Anyone got the info on Ubuntu Remix? [02:50] kostkon: I manually downloaded the official ubuntu package from adobe website. Is it simply not 9.10 compatible? [02:50] sumeetbali: msn has issues, even with the official client, I just get days where it disconnects me randomly throughout the day [02:51] exodus_ms, I'm pretty sure disable touchpad disables it thought, theres got to be an option to disable the clicking [02:51] linuxguy2009, ok. open a termina and give: apt-cache policy adobe-flashplugin. what does it say? [02:51] how can you tell if the nfs mount is squash or nosquash? [02:51] Bam_Bam, but still, checking the option in sys > prefs > mouse > touchpad as no effect either way [02:51] okay thanks so much so i am staying with ethypy [02:52] kostkon: http://pastebin.com/m3cb3a589 [02:52] Bam_Bam, if I click to disable the touchpad, the touchpad is still responsive vis sys > prefs > mouse > touchpad [02:52] good to know i am not the only one with this issue === z is now known as Guest58436 [02:52] exodus_ms, unchecking enable touchpad mouse clicks disables mouseclicks for me [02:53] Can someone help me, I installed the 9.10 patch yesterday and everything was fine but till this morning I can only set the resolution to 800x600 max [02:53] Bam_Bam, yes, ok, you are better at explaining my problem than me :) If I uncheck it, mouseclicks still work [02:53] linuxguy2009, ok. it's already installed. what are you trying to do then? [02:53] Anyone know what this may mean when I try to run "wubi.exe" from my USB drive: "End of central directory signature not found" ? [02:53] Can anyone help me set up Squid Proxy Server? [02:53] exodus_ms, then idk what to tell you [02:54] Bam_Bam, lol, ok thanks anyway [02:54] I'm getting a few errors. [02:54] http://pastebin.com/m167ac612 [02:54] kostkon: Flash doesnt seem to be working now for some reason. YouTube etc. Worked fine when i first installed it. Now the package management is not allowing any more changes till the problem is fixed. [02:54] anyone know how to resolve the issue of my keyboard and touchpad not working if i close the laptop? [02:54] anyone else having problems playing youtube videos in totem movie player? in 9.10 [02:54] hey could someone who is good with pubkeys pm me? [02:54] jose: you can try at http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ [02:55] kostkon: Ive never had this problem before. [02:55] linuxguy2009, did you try to remove it? sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin --purge ? [02:55] kostkon: Yes the result is...The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. [02:55] linuxguy2009, remove it and then install it again or install the similar flashplugin-nonfree package [02:55] linuxguy2009, i see [02:56] i am having trouble whenever i try to update it says no pubkeys? [02:56] epinky, hum...this appears very complicated [02:56] linuxguy2009, hmm === S is now known as Guest51936 [02:56] kostkon: Ive never seen apt freeze up like this. Im assuming its the flash package is incompatible with 9.10 as of yet. Would you agree? [02:56] seriously no one else is having issues with any external drives being recognized in 9.10 [02:56] Can anyone help me set up Squid Proxy Server? [02:56] I'm getting a few errors. [02:56] f00b: run sudo fdisk -l and let me know if it sees it in there? [02:57] Bam_Bam, ok, for some reason the mouse preferences for me is not showing "enable mouse clicks with touchpad" I switched to gsynaptics and unchecked the option "Enable Tapping" it works now [02:57] === revygttam is now known as mattgyver [02:57] kostkon: Its strange cause it worked fine when i first installed it. [02:57] linuxguy2009, it seems to me that for some reason the package got corrupted or something like that. === level15_ is now known as level15 [02:57] aaronorosen it does see it with fdisk -l [02:58] [02:58] this system can be installed in Spanish? [02:58] Damn Small Linux [02:58] zeroleaf: it seems you have the rt2870 so you should not need ndiswrapper i found this i hope it helps the links to the drivers are good (sometime you find an old how to and the links are dead) i think i would get rid of ndiswrapper go into the dir you compiled it in and run sudo make uninstall here is the link http://ubunturt2870.pbworks.com/FrontPage [02:58] lokvendra_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:58] I need to know how to mount a cd drive. I unmounted it because I couldn't get it to eject, and now I can't mount it. The drive doesn't show up in the places menu. [02:58] f00b: then you just need to mount it with like sudo mount -rw /dev/XXX /media/where you want OR you can use /etc/fstab if you want to keep it moounted all the time like after you reboot and all. [02:58] [02:58] eh? [02:58] f00b: I usually don't let linux automatically manage my mounts for me. [02:59] kostkon: Ok yeah. So i tried redownloading it again fresh and still no go. Im about to just fresh install 9.10 and reinstall all my apps from my CD repo I made with dpkg. Probably the easiest fix. My uncle had the same issue though which is strange. [02:59] ctmjr; i used apt-get install to get it, should i use apt-get remove? [02:59] and thank you sooooo much [03:00] anyone know why on earth Karmic uses Apathy by default instead of Pidgin? [03:00] linuxguy2009, ok [03:00] aaronorosen it use to see the whatever drive that i plugged in now it never sees any i dont get it [03:00] zeroleaf: yes use apt-get --purge remove ndiswrapper [03:00] Okay, thanks again :) [03:00] f00b: sorry i'm not really sure what could be causing that.. hmmm [03:00] linuxguy2009, and what have you tried so far? [03:01] hou5ton, because Empathy has better collaboration capabilities than Pidgin does. [03:01] sumeetbali: wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update [03:01] zeroleaf: your welcome and i hope it works [03:01] david-me: hmmm ... ok ... well .. let's hope for it to become a little more sophisticated in future releases .... and I'll stick with it for now [03:01] hou5ton: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/11705/ [03:01] aaronorsen and when i run mount /dev/sdb1 it wont mount it [03:02] f00b: mount -rw /dev/sdb1 /mnt [03:02] kostkon: gdebi reinstall, synaptic, aptitude, dpkg, some with force options. [03:02] hou5ton, You can install Pidgin instead if you prefer. [03:02] Can someone help me, I installed the 9.10 patch yesterday and everything was fine but till this morning I can only set the resolution to 800x600 max [03:02] Where under 9.10 do I turn services on and off? [03:02] ziesemer: thanks for the link [03:02] kostkon: All saying that the archive can not be found [03:02] f00b: that fix it? [03:03] Can anyone help me? [03:03] I need to know how to mount a cd drive. I unmounted it because I couldn't get it to eject, and now I can't mount it. The drive doesn't show up in the places menu.

[03:04] Why aren't there any cgi-bin or html folders under my /var/www folder? [03:04] f00b: pastebin what your fdisk -l says... [03:05] linuxguy2009, without the "." ;) [03:05] f00b: you may have to add -t [03:05] lizzzy: your apache config files has an alias to the cgi-bin directory [03:05] What's up with Notify OSD not appearing at the top? It pops up maybe 100 pixels under my top gnome bar. [03:05] kostkon:http://pastebin.com/m1edbc7ec [03:06] can anybody read this? [03:06] Billiard: ?

[03:07] anyone know if there is any news on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/417757 ? [03:08] Justin191: this looks like what is causing that segfault FATAL: Error Directory /usr/share/squid/errors/English: (2) No such file or directory [03:08] Billiard: Oh ok. GOtcha. THanks [03:08] Justin191: do this touch /usr/share/squid/errors/English [03:08] Justin191: let me know if that fixes it [03:09] I need to know how to mount a cd drive. I unmounted it because I couldn't get it to eject, and now I can't mount it. The drive doesn't show up in the places menu. http://pastebin.com/m167ac612 [03:09] aaronorosen do i paste in here or somewhere else [03:09] Justin191: you might have to run sudo touch [03:09] david-me, typing mount doesn't remount it for you? [03:09] f00b: at pastebin.com [03:09] Help, I have two installations of Ubuntu, logged into AIM with Empathy on both, but the share my desktop button is grayed out [03:09] nope. [03:09] curt: nope. [03:09] kostkon: that got package management working again. What exactly did that do? [03:10] linuxguy2009, try now to remove the package. sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin --purge [03:10] kostkon: ok [03:11] Hi, I have Ubuntu 9.10 and have been using right alt+' to write characters like á, é, í, etc. but I have been struggling on how to type ç, right alt+', c gets me ć. How can I get the other character? [03:11] david-me, did at anytime use the manual eject (i.e. place a paperclip etc in the little hole to drive the tray out) [03:11] f00b: kk i see your post [03:11] Under LiveUSB, is a separate partition required for persistence? Should I not be able to use one Ext2 partition to hold the LiveCD files and the persistent files? Would this be the cause for error: "(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/sdal on /cow failed: Device or resource busy" ? Using 9.10. [03:11] f00b: whats the output of this mount -rw /dev/sdb2 /mnt ? [03:11] guys, do you know if there is a solution for this : - Can I subscribe to many podcasts at a once from Rhythmbox ? lets say a group of feeds with just an address? thanks [03:11] f00b: thats what your want not /dev/sdb1 [03:11] david-me: does /dev/scd0 exist ? [03:11] [03:11] exodus_ms: I didn't. The drive did eject after I unmounted it. [03:12] kostkon: 1 sec have to log out and back. Gdebi frozen window. [03:12] join #ubuntu-mx [03:12] david-me, you know, I had a similar problem once, let me check my notes [03:12] ?? [03:12] Billiard: Yes it does [03:12] guys, is there any podcast feed to collectively subscribe to technology podcast [03:12] f00b: that work? [03:13] david-me: it is not mounted somewhere else currently? run the mount command make sure [03:13] linuxguy2009, what happened? [03:13] kostkon: What was the line you typed that unfroze my package management again? [03:13] linuxguy2009, eh? [03:13] aaronorsen it runs the command bur i dont see it anywhere [03:13] ahh yea [03:13] Got a question for the regulars... is there a way to install ubuntu so that it only runs terminal? In addition, can multiple terminal applications (via daemons or whatnot) be run only from an console (i.e. emacs and mocp at the same time) [03:13] kostkon: removed a file flashplugin*.* or something. [03:13] david-me, this worked for me, its worth a shot. Open tray manaully Shut down system (tray should stay open) While system is off, reset tray with media inside. Reboot. Media should be present now. [03:14] f00b: now go to /mnt and your files on your flash drive will be there. [03:14] linuxguy2009, you don't need to do this again [03:14] rod__: ubuntu server, or alternate installer cd [03:14] kostkon: I tried reinstalling with gdebi and apt froze back up. [03:14] rod__, you can do a minimal install, get the minimal iso [03:14] f00b: figure it out? [03:14] linuxguy2009, noo. but i told you to remove it [03:14] linuxguy2009, :P [03:14] exodus_ms: I'll give that a try if nothing else works. Thanks for you help! [03:14] kostkon: Ill do that now. [03:14] linuxguy2009, just listen to me. remove it! :P [03:14] rod__, then use a program called screen, [03:14] klem_ will this give me access to octave and the like? I have an old computer I would like to optimize, and GUI is not needed... [03:14] Billiard: it isn't currently mounted [03:15] kostkon: okay no prob [03:15] aaronorsen yea that work and i really appreciate it but how come no plug and play like before [03:15] linuxguy2009, sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin --purge [03:15] rod__, i'm not sure what octave is, but you can apt-get anything [03:15] klem_ screen? This is a terminal app like htop or whatnot? [03:15] according to system>administration>disk utility it is at /dev/sr0 [03:15] linuxguy2009, not only remove it, purge it! [03:15] hey what is this, its my first time in this application [03:15] Besides unetbootin what other software can be used to burn an ISO to USB? The one I created seems to have a problem (won't boot and USB is the primary boot device set in the Bios) === carlos is now known as Guest27144 [03:15] kostkon:The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. [03:15] rod_ screen lets you run several terminal apps from one terminal [03:15] linuxguy2009, ok ok. try this now [03:15] f00b: i'm not sure i don't really mess with plugin play (probably rebooting it will fix it) [03:16] can anyone tell me why ubuntu is better than OS X, i'm literally at the store, ready to buy it [03:16] david-me, you shouldnt have to do that everytime, it has something to do with the drive when the tray is opened manually or some other stuff, following those steps helps reset the drive [03:16] mobile, ftw [03:16] linuxguy2009, sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq adobe-flashplugin [03:16] exodus_ms: Ok. I'll try that. thanks a bunch in advance! [03:16] linuxguy2009, w8 [03:16] david-me, the way it was explained to me is that the tray in-out sensor gets confused [03:16] rod__, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [03:16] kostkon: synaptic says there is an error in the package. [03:17] antonius, ubuntu is free and also includes a very large software repository that gets automatically updated [03:17] aaronorosen actually rebooting doesnt fix it i've been trying to sort this out for about 4 days no jump drive ipod or anyting will work weird [03:17] linuxguy2009, does ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobe* gives you anything now? [03:17] kostkon: wont remove. hehe Must be not 9.10 compatible yet. [03:17] linuxguy2009, to be sure [03:17] rod__, that will install the base system giving only a terminal [03:17] linuxguy2009, ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobe* [03:17] antonius, it is really a no-brainer [03:17] rod__, no gui [03:17] Anyone? [03:17] how do I change the driver of my graphic card on xubuntu? [03:17] klem_ you rock man. Thank you [03:17] kostkon: Yes same as before [03:17] hello from asia source 3 [03:17] rod__, no prob [03:17] f00b: hmm idk sorry perhaps its a setting somewhere that got messed up or something [03:17] we're installing ubuntu on many laptops [03:17] perhaps try updating [03:18] anyone here? [03:18] curt: even if my ATI HD card rocks on my hackintosh and blows w/ linux? [03:18] linuxguy2009, ok. then do again: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobe-flashplugin*.* [03:18] curt: i think i'm paying the meager 100 bucks [03:18] hi jace [03:18] linuxguy2009, then do: sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq adobe-flashplugin === r3dhat is now known as redhat|away [03:18] aaronorsen i'll sort it out thanks alot for your help [03:19] antonius, my ATI card works fine in linux but as I recall I built the driver from ATI myself [03:19] kostkon: Ok its gone now finally. Thank you so much you saved me from a reinstall. [03:19] I'm also at asiasource3. Can I help you? [03:19] linuxguy2009, w8 w8 [03:19] linuxguy2009, give now a: sudo apt-get update [03:19] tkrag: yo [03:19] tkrag: how's the network doing? [03:19] curt: exactly...lol..i'm not BUILDING ANYTHING [03:19] linuxguy2009, aaand now better remove it: sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin --purge [03:19] linuxguy2009, and install this: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [03:19] jace: We're having problems with the apt-proxy setup [03:20] so I am trying to run ubunto moblin remix. I used unetbootin to burn the image to flash but it doesn't boot. My system just boots off the normal hd [03:20] linuxguy2009, and your flash should work fine [03:20] tkrag: should we all switch to the main server? [03:20] that's easiest to manage [03:20] exit [03:20] kostkon: Only thing that sucks about that method is that I cant add the flashplugin-nonfree to my CD-R repository of packages for offline install. [03:21] kostkon: Or can I? [03:21] linuxguy2009, you can yes. you can download the package from synaptic i think. or from packages.ubuntu.com [03:21] kostkon: oh ok cool Ill check now. 1 sec [03:21] tkrag: back? [03:22] linuxguy2009, ok [03:22] antonius, I understand that .. I am not saying that you have to .. I built mine about a year ago and since then I do believe the available drivers in the restricted section work just fine [03:22] Help, I have two installations of Ubuntu, logged into AIM with Empathy on both, but the share my desktop button is grayed out [03:22] kostkon: Cause I know when I install ubuntu-restricted-extras the non free flash is in that but it requires internet to install it. [03:22] linuxguy2009, ah, you're right [03:22] And there's like no information about empathy im client online [03:22] linuxguy2009, :S [03:22] Oh, ok. [03:23] How do I share desktop with Empathy? [03:23] I want to do remote desktop between my Ubuntu and between a live cd [03:23] kostkon: Why do you think the adobe package wont work right? Need to wait for a new 9.10 compatible version? [03:23] linuxguy2009, just install flashplugin-nonfree for now, but keep adobe-flashplugin in your offline repo. [03:23] anyone know of a good monitor to view my net speed [03:24] kostkon: Ok. [03:24] Gabs, furiusisomount [03:24] hey all. first timer here, joined via irssi on the CLI. kind of cool. [03:24] What do I need to install to be able to format xfs?

[03:35] petronius, http://gnome-look.org [03:35] hmm... GNOME has several themes, and CompizFusion is available by default for most, i'd start with that. [03:35] Greetings [03:35] petronius: linux can't be affected by windows viruses [03:35] what about a linix virus === Fizix is now known as Guest33465 [03:35] tryingtoboot, I don't see any option in Empathy about remote desktops [03:35] Well it's a feature [03:35] hello [03:36] klem_ and it's a menu thing [03:36] there are only a few and they are rare [03:36] klem_ You right click a contact and it says "share my desktop" [03:36] petronius: run as a restricted user, and you won't have to worry about much. There's no viruses to worry about for Linux. [03:36] klem_ it just is grayed out === b0w is now known as kiwifunk [03:36] whats a restricted user???? [03:36] * altf2o there may be a /few/ but if you run as a restricted user, as you should be, there impact will be minimal at best. [03:36] how do I change the driver of my graphic card on xubuntu? [03:36] I'm having the darndest time finding out how to install KDE 4.3 on Ubuntu 9.10. I currently have 9.10 running GNOME, but I want to get KDE a shot too. I see the login screen has the ability for me to choose which Desktop Environment I want; I suppose it'll go there if I have GNOME & KDE [03:36] hey im gonna check out gnome look and get back to you [03:36] how can I get my windows to roll up like blinds when double clicking the titlebar? I believe this is a feature of compiz which is working [03:37] tryingtoboot, well, I don't know then. I've never done it that way. I would use VNC or something. [03:37] petronius, [03:37] petronius: a normal desktop user. Most distros will have you set them up, like Ubuntu. You do NOT want to run your system as the root user at all times. [03:37] is VNC pre-installed? it must be software that is on a livecd === Guest33465 is now known as Fizix [03:37] Tonno: there may be graphical tools for it, otherwise simply change the drive in /etc/X11/xorg.conf IIRC [03:37] Fizix: yes that is where you change it if you have kde installed [03:38] also how do I install empire total war...i put the disk in but nothing happened [03:38] petronius: linux is not windows [03:38] !wine | petronius [03:38] petronius: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [03:38] tryingtoboot: The GNOME VNC client you are looking for is probably vinagre [03:38] CTMJR: I'm having trouble finding out how to download KDE though :/ Anyone have some command-line syntax I can copy & paste to get it installed? [03:38] kostkon: You still here? [03:38] linuxguy2009, yeap [03:38] altf2o, i open that file with gedit. and the file dont say nothing [03:39] What is a command that always does 'dhclient eth0'? I have to type dhclient eth0 everytime I want to use the internet [03:39] !info kde4 | Fizix [03:39] Fizix: Package kde4 does not exist in karmic [03:39] Merlin_: use Network Manager [03:39] Fizix: well that was no help [03:39] Tonno: hmm, is it in any other file? Is there something Xubuntu does specifically different? i've never used it, so if it does i won't know. [03:39] Fizix: sudo tasksel install kubuntu-desktop # should get you what you want [03:39] Fizix: install kubuntu-desktop [03:40] is anyone her eusing ubuntu on a mac? I was wandering if the airport extreme cards were working in 9.10? [03:40] kostkon: I think a safe way also would be for me to stick with using the "install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz" package from adobe site cause its just the *.so plugin file that you have to manually install untill they update to a 9.10 compatible pakckage. Wouldnt you agree? Then I can add it to my offline repo CD. [03:40] the wiki says you have to fetch firmware in feisty, do you still have to in 9.10, and do you need internet to do so? [03:40] kostkon: Or maybe even permenently as a solution. [03:40] faceman: you could try the live cd out and check how well it works [03:40] altf2o, well thanks anyway [03:41] :) [03:41] linuxguy2009, i believe the safest would be to install flashplugin-nonfree. [03:41] what are the most all inclusive codecs that people typically install? Include Free and non-free [03:41] * altf2o is on 9.10 netbook remix, and 9.10 32bit desktop, flash plugin works great on both, ? [03:41] I was using the live CD, couldn't get the internet to work [03:41] Tonno: no prob, sorry i couldn't be of more assistance. [03:41] anyone know if it is possible to put an xfce4-panel and gnome-panel side by side the way it is with 2 gnome panels [03:41] linuxguy2009, and keep the tar.gz and adobe-flashplugin in your repo [03:41] I set it up, but couldn't find a connect button? [03:41] Much obliged everyone. [03:41] kostkon: But im pretty sure all that package does is download that same system independent tar.gz if Im not mistaken. [03:41] uvacav: what do you mean side by side? [03:42] linuxguy2009, yeah. that's what it does [03:42] kostkon: Sweet [03:42] how do i stop a wireless network from autostarting? [03:42] Billiard: horizontally. so for example one panel takes up 1/2 the width of the screen other panel takes up the other 1/2 width of the screen.. right now if I try and do this they overlap [03:43] BigMike, I believe it used to be handled by the keyrings, but it could have changed. [03:43] Im having problems with my install of 9.10 amd64 [03:43] uvacav: you could make them not full width maybe, also maybe you could use just an xfce panel, there is a applet to use gnome applets on an xfce panel [03:44] ok [03:44] How do i upgrade to karmic koala from jaunty jackolope? [03:44] BigMike, is this an open connection or one that you had to type in a key of some kind in for? [03:45] bah the other way around [03:45] What server should I use again for pgp keys? keyserver.ubuntu.com seems to be down still [03:45] lol [03:45] Purpley: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/getubuntu/upgrading [03:45] Billiard: yeah i tried that xfapplet to use gnome applets on the xfce4-panel but its not letting me add the ubuntu menu bar (its just not in the list of gnome panel applets that xfapplet sees for some reason) [03:45] !pgp [03:45] its a niegbours network open network [03:45] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [03:45] !gpg server [03:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about gpg server [03:45] I installed a 8.2gb swap double the 4gb of ram, a 10gb /boot and 61gb / all on a 80gb sata drive with my /home on a 160gb ata drive slaved to my cdrom the first install was just / to the 160gb ata and wouldn't boot [03:45] uvacav: yeah idk why its not there, you could use xfce's menu, its pretty similar [03:46] new2karmic: what was the error? [03:46] the first / is still showing in the /home folder [03:46] Billiard: I'll look into it, thanks for your help [03:46] so my mouse has a "feature" where the scroll wheel can go right and left. It cause me great pain to paste something with the middle click. Cause it always backspaces [03:46] BigMike, yeah the "Passwords and Enctypion keys have all my wireless keys, not sure what you'd have to do for an open network... [03:46] anyone know how to fix that [03:46] So I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 on a Rackspace cloud, and I'm building a PHP script that receives and sends emails... what's the simplest method/MTA to use [03:46] How can I change gdm (login) theme? All googling leads to pages that tell you about System/Administration/Login Window, but that feature is GONE in Karmic. How do I install a gdm scheme (downloaded from gnome-look) from a command line? [03:46] i am just tired of connecting to it then sometimes i have to reboot to get my own scott_ino2 [03:46] how can I fix that so it just shows the regular user files in the /home directory? [03:47] BigMike, when you right-click on network manager and go to edit connections, then click the wireless tab is your neighbors network listed there? [03:47] ok thanks will try again see what i can do [03:47] new2karmic: what is the problem? [03:47] How do I set-up my wireless connection, so It'll connect automatically everytime I boot the system (w/o having to log in). [03:48] yes it is listed in nm-editor [03:48] billiard: I installed a 8.2gb swap double the 4gb of ram, a 10gb /boot and 61gb / all on a 80gb sata drive with my /home on a 160gb ata drive slaved to my cdrom the first install was just / to the 160gb ata and wouldn't boot how can I fix that so it just shows the regular user files in the /home directory? [03:49] Is there any better vpn client than vpnc? [03:49] how do i use a wget-list [03:49] BigMike, well if you delete it there will it still try and connect? [03:49] new2karmic: what do you mean "so it just shows the regular user files in the /home directory" ? [03:49] i know its a backwards way to install but I only have one IDE slot on my board [03:49] well I get the root folder in my home directory [03:49] new2karmic: that's not possible [03:49] i assume it's from the first install [03:49] how close is lubuntu to become a reality? [03:50] i ok i will try again [03:50] blood: do you mean a file with a list of urls? cause then you can do wget -i urls.txt [03:50] where I set the / to the 160gb drive that is slave to my cdrom which wouldn't boot per grub cause it's slave [03:50] new2karmic: you can boot from slave thats no problem [03:50] trism: yes, thanks [03:51] hmmm... [03:51] new2karmic: go to bios and set boot order (priority)' [03:51] Okay well why when i did the first install on the 160bg [03:51] grub wouldn't load [03:52] let me rephrase that grub wouldn't load the install [03:52] put live cd and type update grub [03:52] What's a shortcut to open a terminal (other than having to click on the icon)? [03:52] new2karmic: put live cd and type update grub [03:52] cant seem to remove the wifi setting [03:52] is there a way to completely get all the drives in my system blank [03:52] hello room. may i need help about Keyboard. why my keyboard suddenly not working when type a number (only number) in number right side?

[03:54] on the live CD [03:54] lizzzy: very confusing , you want to open a terminal when you're on console? [03:54] exodus, can you figure it out [03:54] faceman, ah [03:54] ok the wifi setting that is running is nm-editor [03:55] lizzzy: alt+f2 gnome-terminal ? [03:55] thanks for solving my problem! [03:55] epinky: No no. I want to open up a terminal from anywhere, like for ex. I press Alt-F2 and then type term and open the terminal or I click on the terminal desktop icon. Is there a keyboard shortcut to open up a terminal? [03:55] sumeetbali: you're welcome sumeetbali [03:56] I create the network through the create new wireless network option, and then i finish, and a little box pops up telling me wireless is disconnected [03:56] cant seem to remove it [03:56] hello [03:56] BigMike, I'm saying simply right-click on the NetworkManager icon then go to /Edit Connections/Wireless tab/Edit Connection [03:56] lizzzy: there is not keyboard shortcut by default, you can set one up [03:56] anyone running the chainloader for lucid? [03:56] trism: is there a reason that they would not be recognized as URLs [03:56] not sure if nm-editor is the same as what im talking about [03:56] Billiard: Kewl. WIll do that. [03:56] do I need to dl the airport extreme driver? when I tried to via terminal it failed. Do I need internet to download it? [03:56] lizzzy: no there is not a shorcut, you have to create one [03:56] i_is_broke: "the chainloader"? [03:56] xangua: ok. Will do that now. [03:57] what is the command options I should use to Create a Partion and Format XFS with Fdisk. The Drive is mounted as sdb1 [03:57] i dont have those menus when i right click its nm-editor 0.6.6 that pops up is that it? [03:57] Jordan_U, yeah i put my test box on lucid updates and was wondering if anyone else was having issues with lxde loading as well? [03:57] i want to ask something [03:57] blood: there should be one url per line, otherwise I don't know, I would need to see the urls [03:57] gemilang, still having problems? [03:57] does anyone know how to get Enlightenment to install and launch [03:57] Hi, I have a problem with my newly upgraded Ubuntu (to 9.10), after waking up from suspension, my USB devices are no longe working. I have checked /var/log/syslog and messages, they're all showing USB connect/disconnect info. [03:57] BigMike, but you're running Network Manager correct? [03:58] so the wiki is telling me to do this command to get me my drivers, "sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter" do i need internet for that too work? [03:58] can i make a multiple share folder with each folder it's own password [03:58] I can't control my mouse and keyboard now :( [03:58] webbb82: you can find e16 in your repository [03:58] lizzzy: F12 does not work?

[03:58] eshannon: Fdisk doesn't create file systems, only partitions. use "sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/sdb1" to format that partition as xfs [03:59] BigMike, sorry can you describe what you're using for wifi then [03:59] have you got a console command for it [03:59] faceman: Yes [03:59] trism: removing the .txt from the command fixed the issue [03:59] i have a wireless network and dont want it to connect to the neighbors any more [03:59] Damn, I guess I have to go plug my laptop into the wire [03:59] thanks Jordan_U [03:59] BigMike, it should still be available via System/Preferences/NetworkConnections. [03:59] blood: oh, sorry, urls.txt was just an example filename (that's what I always call it) [03:59] ok [03:59] xangua, how do i start it once installed [04:00] exodus, 1234567890 this i type in top side, but in right side is not work?

Now I'm interested in moving to 9.10. Is there any reason to worry about updating to the latest version? I might be worried about nothing, but it seems like a logical question & will make me feel more secure. Thanks! [04:07] well i figure it out just take some time thanks anyway [04:07] define secure? [04:07] :) [04:07] Laughing Out Loud === dabossbv1 is now known as dabossbv [04:07] pardon the acros [04:08] RPS: There are sometimes problems upgrading [04:08] RPS: There are always reasons to worry about upgrades to any new version... if you are concerned, and this is a production workstation, I'd suggest you wait a month or two for the more common ones to get fixed. That's not a slight against Karmic, just a general observation for *all* OS upgrades. [04:08] RPS: wait until April next year [04:08] RPS, wait dude, trust me [04:08] does anyone know why my internet sucks in karmic? [04:09] 40 second pause before it'll connect to a website [04:09] guys, how many neat things are inside of the latest version? [04:09] dylan_, ipv6 probs maybe? [04:09] dylan_: Do you have an old router? [04:09] RPS: The Release Notes should have the things you need to know. (Keep in mind that support channels are biased toward people with problems) [04:09] dylan_, karmic didnt ship with a new version of the Internet, I think it packaged the old one :P [04:09] and I also have no issue with waiting a while [04:09] I have a BCM4312 802.11b/g wifi card in this laptop, and I'm running Karmic. It seems that the card just freezes up for ~30 seconds @ a time, then it goes back to working. any ideas on how I can fix it? [04:09] my internet ran fine in jaunty [04:09] exodus_ms, yes then what? [04:09] but i did a clean install of karmic and now it's like this [04:09] gemilang, do you have anything check in that menu [04:09] !9.10 | RPS [04:09] RPS: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is the current release of Ubuntu.

[04:11] gemilang, I wouldnt worry about it. using ctrl+shift+numlock will turn that behaviour off and on [04:11] opendns sucks, don't do that [04:11] gemilang, look in Mouse Keys [04:11] You guys rock! take it easy [04:11] scott_ino2 would there be a file i could edit to delete the network? [04:11] dylan_: what are the last 2 lines of /etc/resolv.conf [04:11] Ben64: h/o i'll tell u [04:11] BigMike, yeah but i don't even know what you're using for wireless if you're not running NetworkManager [04:12] exodus_ms, yes i had look and i'm not checked, then? [04:12] I have a BCM4312 802.11b/g wifi card in this laptop, and I'm running Karmic. It seems that the card just freezes up for ~30 seconds @ a time, then it goes back to working. any ideas on how I can fix it? [04:12] Ben64: What's wrong with opendns? [04:12] i am using wireless to connect to to my router and to the interenet and my home network [04:12] Jordan_U: very slow, and last i checked, they hijack unowned domains [04:12] is there a package for viewing youtube videos [04:12] jeeves: tried wicd [04:12] jeeves: Are you using the b43 drivers or the proprietary drivers? [04:12] gemilang, your good man, using ctrl+shift+numlock turn that feature on or off, you have it turned off now so you should be good [04:13] Ben64: # Generated by NetworkManager [04:13] nameserver 192.168.1.1 === redhat|away is now known as r3dhat [04:13] Ben64: It's usually faster than isp provided dns. What do you mean hijack owned domains? [04:13] Jordan_U, yes, currently, I'm running on the proprietyary drivers. [04:13] i just dont like using cables [04:13] dylan_: ping 151.164.1.8 and 4.2.2.5 and tell me average ping for each [04:13] exodus_ms, okay terimakasih [04:13] BigMike, yes but im asking through what. Network manager is what controls the wifi by default [04:13] Jordan_U, how do I install the b43 drivers? [04:13] jeeves: Try disabling them and using b43 [04:13] gemilang, you can either turn it off by using ctrl+shift+numlock or use the menu [04:14] Jordan_U, how do I install the b43 drivers? [04:14] Ben64: how do you do that? [04:14] ok what is the console command for it [04:14] BigMike, but you say you have no networkmanager icon in your top panel [04:14] Jordan_U: was much slower for me everywhere, and like if you go to asjhfdsakjhkjashfjskahfa.com it will be ads from them [04:14] jeeves: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers === loopback_ is now known as loopback [04:14] dylan_: open a terminal, type "ping 151.164.1.8" [04:14] 64 bytes from 151.164.1.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=249 time=26.4 ms [04:14] yes i do but when i click on it - i see the networks [04:14] is the kind of stuff you get, I want to know the range of the last number, like 26.4ms on the one I pasted [04:14] exodus_ms, thanks a lot GURU [04:14] i dont have it under the menu [04:15] ok have you right-clicked on the icon, if so what options do you have [04:15] when you right-click on it [04:15] list of networks i ran it in console as root but couldnt delete that network [04:15] Ben64: which number i'm getting a lot of them [04:15] Jordan_U, I only have one option for the WiFi card. the other listed drivers are for the nVidia card [04:15] dylan_: the last one, or hit CTRL+C to stop the ping, and paste the result line [04:16] rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 10.441/46.104/131.688/32.979 ms [04:16] BigMike, you get a list of networks when you right-click on it??? [04:16] jeeves: Ok, run "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" [04:16] yes [04:16] --- 151.164.1.8 ping statistics --- [04:16] 89 packets transmitted, 89 received, 0% packet loss, time 88130ms [04:16] rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 36.856/39.553/95.490/8.161 ms [04:16] dylan@dylan-laptop:~$ [04:16] dylan_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:16] no when i right click yes [04:16] Jordan_U, thank you. I'll install/try them. [04:16] BigMike, I don't know what to tell you sorry, I don't ever remember network manager not having an edit connections function [04:16] jeeves: When that finishes try disabling the proprietary driver, and if it doesn't load automatically "sudo modprobe b43" [04:17] Ben64: did u see it? [04:17] well i got to it in console [04:17] dylan_: just that one line starting with "rtt" would be fine. If you can do that again with 4.2.2.5 I can tell you which to change your dns to [04:17] Jordan_U, thank you [04:17] jeeves: np [04:17] but i couldnt blacklist the neighors network :) [04:17] I am playing around with Ubuntu EC [04:17] and I am having issue connecting to Store from Eucalyptus [04:17] gues i will do some research figure out what file it is in and edit it [04:17] Ben64: i hate to sound stupid but this dns thing is new to me could you tell me the command to type in? [04:18] because the box is behind proxy [04:18] i have knetwork manager [04:18] how can I configure the proxy for eucalyptus to connect to store [04:18] dylan_: "ping 4.2.2.5" then let it run for like 20 secs, then CTRL+C, and paste the line starting with "rtt" [04:20] Ben64: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 11.821/12.806/16.238/0.691 ms [04:20] dylan_: ok good [04:20] dylan_: now do "sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf" [04:20] hi everybody, i tried playing a video in Movie Player and I got the following error: codec error: use windows media player; and i googled the problem and it says it's a trojan, do i need to worry about the security issue if i opened it only in linux [04:21] BigMike, ok i just looked through the config, basically you need cnetworkmanager install which will give us CLI interface to networkmanager [04:21] then we can do it [04:21] Ben64: all it says is network manager and my ip address? [04:21] ok thans [04:21] hye everyone, is it possible to make multiple share folder with it's own password? [04:22] ok made it to network setting where i can unlock it now [04:22] dylan_: remove that 192.168.1.1 line === lizzzy_ is now known as lizzzy [04:22] dylan_: replace it with these... http://pastebin.com/d6ad21019 [04:22] hmmm unlock isnt working [04:22] unexpected errot [04:22] how its called ? http://img194.yfrog.com/img194/6655/44343.jpg [04:23] Ben64: Just the number or 192.168.1.1 or nameserver and the number? [04:23] dylan_: well basically you just want to replace 192.168.1.1 with 4.2.2.5 [04:23] and add another nameserver line with 4.2.2.2 [04:23] Ben64: what does that do ? [04:24] python_root: changes dns servers ubuntu uses [04:24] how its called ? http://img194.yfrog.com/img194/6655/44343.jpg [04:24] oh [04:24] trooperx, maybe it's cairo-dock or gnome-do [04:24] BigMike, sorry you're having such problems.... seems like you may have other issues ;) [04:24] no its kde [04:24] but we will need admin access [04:25] Ben64: dude thanks.... i've been trying to fix that forever :D [04:25] well i will get at it searching online for the console command or the file [04:25] Ben64: what is 4.2.2.5 ?

I have to type dhclient eth0 everytime I restart the computer and want to connect to the internet [04:30] python_root: sudo apt-get install php5-mysql [04:30] there ya go, epinky knows [04:31] so at wineconf, Scott Richie mentioned that there is a list of ~1000 packages that don't compile on Karmic, anyone know where that is?

[04:33] does anyone know where the Postgresql data is stored in ubuntu? [04:33] python_root: I think /var/www is htdocs [04:33] python_root, more safe would be to have a public_html folder in your home instead of /var/www. google for it.

[05:04] sarthor: open up software sources, and choose a different server [05:04] russlar, OK. [05:05] trooperx: how is teh drive connected? [05:05] I set a small application launcher panel to autohide, and was playing with it... And then I moved it to the left to see how I liked it, and now I can't get it to pop out, how can I either delete or move the panel back to the bottom? [05:05] Silent_Echo, To be fair, the problem you have is mostly HP's fault. [05:05] russlar : what do you how ? [05:05] regina, kk and the sound driver too? cause my computers makeing a wierd popping sound every now and then....even when its muted [05:05] NewMonarch, that I cant help you with. I would give google a whirl and see what you can find [05:05] russlar: I have narrowed it down to having a HUGE root.disk, even though I have not even run Karmic for 3 days. [05:06] trooperx: how is the nts drive plugged in to the computer? [05:06] Silent_Echo, That sounds like a diff issue I have not experienced. [05:06] McLoViN: Yeah it's not turning up much help for under $30. [05:06] regina: cd / and run sudo du -sh * [05:06] regina, mmm well thanks [05:06] how to configure sudo so it dont ask password [05:07] is there any way to change your terminal resolution in 9.10? [05:07] NewMonarch, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [05:07] ruby_31: look up how to edit the sudoers file with visudo [05:07] kostkon no thoughts on my audio?

[05:07] I just installed ubuntu 9.10 and I'm dual booting with vista and I boot up my computer it brings me to a grub command line.... [05:07] NewMonarch, make sure you have the netbook remix version downloaded [05:07] Yes, this is a wubi install. [05:08] Silent_Echo, you get pops because your card is turning off to save power after 10secs of inactivity. a new feature on 9.10. you can turn it off though [05:08] try windows 7 ,you'll be back [05:08] regina: how big is teh entire disk/ 40GB? [05:08] help all my sound drivers stopped working after FF crashed today [05:08] agama: which it should unless it's wubi [05:08] ruby_31: I really hope there is no way to do that [05:08] McLoViN: ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.iso [05:08] kostkon, please tell me how to turn that off [05:08] ALSA OSS Pulse, all down [05:08] russlar, again error with 2 different servers, "W: GPG error: http://ubuntu.mirrors.isu.net.sa karmic-security Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key " [05:08] Anyone have a serial for my Ubuntu installation?

[05:08] sarthor: that's odd [05:09] dnathe4th, did you try installing the "linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic" package? [05:09] It's asking for a CD-key. [05:09] ruby_31: type sudo visudo, and uncomment the line: # %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL [05:09] does ubuntu list the target triplet [05:09] sarthor: go ask #ops [05:09] kostkon, negative that shte first ive heard of that module [05:09] RAMPU, that is not possible [05:09] RAMPU: are you sure that you are using an ubuntu c [05:09] sarthor: give them that error [05:09] russlar, Ok.

[05:09] wut? [05:10] russlar: the entire disk is 300gb. [05:10] It popped up right after it asked for a partition to install Windows on. [05:10] regina: the entire ubuntu disk? [05:10] RAMPU: you're installing windows, NOT ubuntu [05:10] I set a small application launcher panel to autohide, and was playing with it... And then I moved it to the left to see how I liked it, and now I can't get it to pop out, how can I either delete or move the panel back to the bottom? [05:10] Of which about 50gb is being used between Win 7, and Ubuntu Karmic as a wubi install. [05:10] RAMPU, what exactly was the message? [05:10] Yes.

[05:11] does ubuntu list the target triplet, or is there a command that would tell me? [05:11] The max in the wubi isntall [05:11] windows is better linux is only for geeks :) [05:11] RAMPU: there is no serial for ubuntu [05:11] dnathe4th, oops sorry, it's " linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic" [05:11] trooperx, stfu please. [05:11] regina: you said /var was 20GB? [05:11] Windows is terrible. [05:11] Windows 7 == Ubuntu [05:11] its true [05:11] my dell studio 1555's wireless suddenly stopped working and it says that it is disabled. i can't enable it. what shud i do? [05:11] russlar: / is 61gb [05:11] RAMPU: is a troll, ignore him....

[05:13] hi whats the difference between ubuntu and ubuntu server [05:13] meowpup: server doen't have a GUI out of the box [05:14] 7.1g syslog [05:14] meowpup: and the server edition has many server programs included, like apache [05:14] 2.6g messages [05:14] 2.6g kern.log [05:14] meowpup: or any gui type applications .. like word processing, spreadsheet, graphics, photo management etc [05:14] ah i see y no gui [05:14] I need this machine to not run out of memory by constantly spamming the log files. [05:14] Is there a fix? [05:14] regina: something's seriously hosed on your install [05:14] This is Karmic.... I was warned it wasn't ready for prime time... [05:15] russlar: Ideas? [05:15] Why isn't this working: scp filename.sh valentina@(ip-number):/home/valentina/scripts/ [05:15] look at those logs, see what errors it's full of [05:15] how can I create a larger partition than 2tb with fdisk? [05:15] I just installed ubuntu 9.10 and I'm dual booting with vista and I boot up my computer it brings me to a grub command line.... but not with the option to go into linux or windows just grub>.. [05:15] russlar... OK. Give me a sec. [05:15] eshannon: you can't. use parted, and a gpt disk label [05:15] Valentina: What error message? [05:16] In my /media directory it shows cdrom and cdrom0 (when viewed with Nautilus). Is that how it should be? ...I had some trouble loading a DVD yesterday. Had to start the machine with the DVD in the drive before it would mount properly. [05:16] UBlondie: yes [05:16] russlar: I tried using gparted and operation fails [05:16] hey, anyone use pulse to stream audio across their LAN? [05:16] syslog is taking FOREVER to load.... [05:16] UBlondie: if you look at /media in a terminal, one is a link to the other [05:16] russlar, ok, thanks [05:16] 7.1gb... NO SURPRISE! [05:16] after upgrade from jaunty to karmic I experience hard kernel panics when playing flash or videos in vlc, there are no logs about it in /etc/messages . What is the best way to find out what is causing the panics? [05:16] leaf-sheep: Connection refused (ip-number), lost connection. [05:16] is there a way I can download a driver on another computer, put it on USB stick, and then put it on ubuntu? [05:16] should I open it in a diff app? Gedit is trying to load the entire beast. [05:16] leaf-sheep: on port 22. [05:16] regina: tail -50 syslog [05:17] in the console? [05:17] !grub | Agama [05:17] Agama: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [05:17] Connecting to ethernet is a bitch, I just want to get this airport driver [05:17] Valentina: Perhaps the machine does not have ssh installed if it's saying that. [05:17] zombik: did you reinstall flash? that might be your issue.. it wasn't upgraded at the same time [05:17] regina: yes [05:17] russlar, i went to #ops, they said, its the correct place to get help about ubuntu, so they said, go to #ubuntu-ops, i went there, they said, go to #ubuntu, confused !! [05:17] russlar ...yes, that's actually how it shows in Nautilus. Is there any reason you can think of that the cd/dvd wouldn't mount intially? (HP pavilion laptop, Ubuntu 9.10) [05:17] russlar, i went to #ops, they said, its not the correct place to get help about ubuntu, so they said, go to #ubuntu-ops, i went there, they said, go to #ubuntu, confused !! [05:17] regina, it's usually best to just "tail" the syslog... [05:18] sarthor: try running sudo apt-get update again [05:18] scunizi: nope, didnt touch it, ill try reinstalling it now [05:18] Nov 8 20:46:12 ubuntu kernel: [ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x00] high edge lint[0x1]) [05:18] UBlondie: disks don't automount like in windows [05:18] This is up a few times.

It seems to manage it most of the time as it does with flash memory sticks. Now I'm confused. [05:19] so no pulse experts here? [05:19] Hi all... I am not able to configure wi-fi on Karmic... Please can somebody help me?? [05:19] sarthor: try using a different mirror [05:19] leaf-sheep: Hm, I thought ssh was default in Ubuntu, in both Server and Desktop Edition. [05:19] kostkon restarted, still no sound card in aplay -l [05:19] UBlondie: you still have to click on teh USB stick for it to actually mount [05:19] russlar: Can I delete those logs and keep trucking? [05:19] dnathe4th, :( [05:19] lstarnes, i tried several mirrors [05:19] can you get professional support for ubuntu in the U.S. ? [05:19] UBlondie: the icon on the desktop only shows that it's seen, not mounted === dav_ is now known as dav- [05:19] leaf-sheep: Not installed. [05:19] regina: yes, you can cat /dev/null into them [05:19] Valentina: ssh client is, not server ( in Desktop ) [05:19] leaf-sheep: ssh wasn't default in Server Edition, I think. [05:20] um.... is that the terminal again? [05:20] russlar, ...ok, but it opens a Nautilus window and displays content all by itself. That would imply it's mounted to me. Wouldn't it? [05:20] so fresh 9.10 installs seem to have coloring of 'grep' output. but upgrades from previous releases are missing out on that.. :( [05:20] Valentina: There you go. Install it. Ubuntu does not ship with anything toggled on -- because that would create security risks if the users were not aware that somebody could ssh in. :) [05:20] dav -, i noticed that... [05:20] UBlondie: yes, if you see the contents, it's mounted [05:20] I typed that in the terminal, but the files are still huge. [05:20] Can anyone help me with VLC playback? [05:20] karma koala is quite crap, i thought newer releases were meant to be better than the previous one [05:20] arrrghhh: i wonder what else we're missing out on :( [05:20] Jordan_U: No? Not in Ubuntu Server 9.10? I gave installed the ssh server but I can see by aptitude show that ssh isn't installed. [05:21] regina: cat /dev/null > files_you_want_to_nuke [05:21] sarthor: Are you behind a proxy? [05:21] is there a way to download a driver in OSX and then put it on ubuntu? [05:21] Valentina: You want to install openssh-server then. [05:21] Jordan_U, No, [05:21] Saxon: yup what about vls [05:21] Anybody know why vlc has separate windows for video and controls... version 0.9x [05:21] vlc [05:21] That will take a while... [05:21] syslog is 7gb!!! [05:21] Jordan_U: I have (not gave) installed server 9.10 and I couldn't find ssh by aotitude show command. [05:21] Valentina: "ssh" is just a metapackage that depends on openssh-server and openssh-client [05:21] This newest release is obviously very buggy. [05:21] kostkon any other suggested resources? [05:21] Silent_Echo, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/442463/comments/4 [05:21] dav -, well, ext4 and grub2 to name a couple. although currently i don't see much benefit from grub2. [05:21] regina: /dev/null is a black hole. cat-ing it into a file will wipe it out. quickly [05:22] whats with the volume icon in the notification icon area, you can't move it now. and theres no sound settings, like pcm. etc, you can't even turn the volume up because theres no buttons on gnome-volume-manager [05:22] kostkon, can i also find webcam help on this too? [05:22] you haz to slide it [05:22] russlar, when I had problems with mounting the CD, it didn't even show an icon for me to manually mount the cd. It just sat there whirring away, trying to do something without any success. By rebooting the computer with the cd in the drive, it was mounted when gui had loaded [05:22] how do you make the EQ settings stick in VLC player [05:22] Jordan_U: Wow, I never knew that ssh was a metapackage. I always have used "openssh-server" [05:22] leaf-sheep: I have already installed openssh-server on my server computer but I only need ssh to copy from that computer to my desktop? Does my desktop need ssh server to recieve a file through scp? [05:22] lalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallala [05:22] dnathe4th, hmm. did you have sound before? on 9.04 for example? [05:22] russlar, anyway ...thanks for clarifying cople of things [05:22] I KNEW I should have put Mint on this client's machine... :( [05:22] Silent_Echo, webcam? [05:22] yes [05:22] russlar: Thanks for all your help. [05:22] Jordan_U: Aha, ok. [05:22] lalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallalalallala [05:22] troopperi: Please don't spam... [05:22] arrrghhh: yeah ext4 is understandable. i actually still selected ext3 for the fresh install. i'm a conservative guy :) any idea how to get the grep thing going? [05:23] Valentina: I install openssh-server on all machines so I can access and transfer files and whatnot. [05:23] spammers been hitting here today? [05:23] Anybody know why vlc has separate windows for video and controls... version 0.9x [05:23] sarthor: Can you browse the repository in a browser? [05:23] trooperx, stop spamming. [05:23] dnathe4th, hmm. you could try reinstalling your alsa [05:23] kostkon i remember struggling to get it when i went from 8.04 to 9.04, but i dont remember what I did (it ended with OSS4 apparently) [05:23] dav -, not really sure what makes it different, so unfortunately no. [05:23] regina: maybe on your system.. generally speaking it's been pretty good. Some people have issues based on a lot of factors,, hardware, upgrade vs fresh install, 3rd party apts and unique alternate configurations etc.. [05:23] valan: 4chan was here earlier [05:23] Valentina: Yes. scp is secure (copy) something. But yeah, based on ssh. [05:23] hi anyone out there able to find a mirror download for this version please http://ubuntuce.com/index.htm [05:23] dnathe4th, so you were using oss. ok [05:23] dav -, probably a flag you need to turn on for bash... just google it. [05:23] yeah ##linux saw some of the nonsense earlier as well [05:23] why is connecting through ethernet so hard? [05:23] Jordan_U, yes [05:23] kostkon, yeah i'm having problem with my webcam in both skype and cheese, dosnt work in skype and conditional in cheese [05:23] though we seem to be clear for the time being [05:23] scunizi, I have a very generic emachine here with almost no special apps. This is a very basic wubi install. [05:23] secure copy protocol [05:23] was just curious [05:23] sarthor: apt-get clean ; cd /var/lib/apt ; mv lists lists.old ; mkdir -p lists/partial; apt-get clean; apt-get update [05:24] These errors should NOT have been happening. [05:24] This is a black eye for all of Linux, not just Ubuntu. [05:24] Jordan_U: Yeah, you're right, the openssh-client and openssh-server are installed on my system. I have only installed openssh-server so I think that openssh-client was defautl then. [05:24] regina: no, jsut ubuntu [05:24] arrrghhh: i think it's just an alias (grep --color=tty [05:24] ) [05:24] I can't believe there are no other reports of this. This machine is ULTRA generic. [05:24] regina: wubi.. well that's just another layer of "problems".. if you have a gig of ram you might consider trying virtualbox.org or just run from the live cd.. or go for the real experience and dual boot [05:25] Silent_Echo, hmm. the only i can do is to recommend you to buy a new webcam that is compatible with ubuntu :S [05:25] Jordan_U, are you still here? [05:25] leaf-sheep: Ok, then I have to install openssh-server on my desktop computer if I want to copy a file from my server computer TO my desktop computer? [05:25] only thing* [05:25] do developers even test the distros out before releasing it? [05:25] jeeves: Yes [05:25] JNSamuel: usually [05:25] kostkon....thx bro [05:25] dav -, ah [05:25] kostkon, is there a list of ubuntu supported webcams out there [05:25] i don't think they've tested karma koala before they released it, its the buggiest one ive used so far [05:25] scunizi, I do that on my machine, but this is a client machine. Not recommended. I might do a full install, but this little trial run is not instilling me with any confidence. [05:25] Trooperx just spammed up ##kubuntu as well man spamming is bad today [05:25] arrrghhh: figured it out. it's in ~/.bashrc [05:25] no operating system is perfect [05:25] Jordan_U, ok, I did the install, went through the process, and it won't show up with a WiFi card [05:26] Silent_Echo, i have a url to give you i think. w8 a min [05:26] regina: some have issues with wubi which in essence is a vm [05:26] no operating system is pefect but most can connect to the fucking internet [05:26] dav-, yea, not surprised there. just an alias huh? [05:26] hey everyone is it possible to get notifications to appear when in fullscreen? Whenever I am reading ebooks with Evince notifications don't appear [05:26] Valentina: Yes. If you can't ssh into your desktop, then you can't scp into your desktop. [05:26] arrrghhh: yep. but it is kinda cool :) [05:26] scunizi, IT most certainly is NOT a VM. [05:26] It's just a quick boot file hack. [05:26] arrrghhh: good night! [05:26] jeeves: does "lsmod | grep b43" output anything? [05:26] It should not be causing these problems. [05:26] no operating system is perfect? the release 8.4 was perfect [05:26] Silent_Echo, this page could be a start: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams [05:27] Linux Mint Gloria is perfect. [05:27] JNSamuel: I've heard of instability when it first came out [05:27] ZERO errors in any installation I've tried. [05:27] regina, nothing's "perfect" [05:27] kostkon, thx yo....you solved both problems that i have had for days [05:27] Silent_Echo, :) [05:27] arrrghhh, Close enough to not find what ISN'T perfect then... :) === ScottG489 is now known as ScottG [05:27] the only real problem i had with 8.4 was a no sound issue. [05:28] but i fixed that easily [05:28] hi anyone out there able to find a mirror download for this version please http://ubuntuce.com/index.htm [05:28] kostkon...well i'm gonna pc out from this chat and get to the links you gave me....again thx [05:28] regina, meh, i've had pretty good luck with 9.10 so far. [05:29] Jordan_U, when I tried doing the modprobe, I got an error saying that all files needed to end with .config [05:29] Hi [05:29] leaf-sheep: Ok, but it didn't help to install openssh-server on my desktop. The scp filename valentina@ip-number creates a copy of the file to the directory I am in at my server! [05:29] server irc.rizon.net [05:29] I tried using Ubuntu software center and I cannot install any software [05:29] Hello all. I was wondering if someone would be able to tell me where to find the irc server/channel for #eclipse. [05:29] i hope the next release will be better or its bucket time for bumtoo [05:29] Valentina: What is the command you used? [05:29] can anyone tell me why when i try to set a password "sudo su postgres -c psql" change postgres it says unknown id??? [05:29] Jordan_U, and nothing from your grep of lsmod [05:29] kostkon if i try to run alsamixer I get: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory [05:29] when I adjust the volume in 9.10 it squells ,anyone else have this problem? [05:29] leaf-sheep: It creates a copy of the file that gets the name valentina@(ip-number) ! [05:30] SeanInSeattle: assuming that this is the right network, try /join #eclipse [05:30] dnathe4th, yeah. to be expected. try reinstalling alsa. [05:30] under details it says E:I wasn't able to locate file for the adobe-flashplugin package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.: [05:30] hereiam: try sudo -u postgres psql [05:30] jeeves: Is there a directory /lib/firmware/b43 ? [05:30] Valentina: Okay. What are you trying to do? Send a file from server to desktop, right? [05:30] meowpup: use that link and in the upper right corner of the screen it says something like "visit our sponsors".. click that..or just go here. http://ubuntuce.com/index.htm [05:30] mastertop, this seems to happen a lot, if you can get into #ubuntu someone will probably have a fix [05:30] just installed swfdec and works fine... but i cant see youube videos... why? [05:30] Jordan_U, yes, it's there [05:31] mastertop, did you try the web gateway? [05:31] heh oops [05:31] philh, hehehe [05:31] * philh looks at channel name and slinks away [05:31] leaf-sheep: I use: scp filename valentina@(my ip-number) and I also have tried: scp filename valentina@(ip-address):/home/valentina/ The last one gives me the connection lost message, the first one creates a copy locally on my server instead of at my remote Ddesktp computer. [05:31] philh: was wondering when you'd realize you're in the wrong channel :) [05:31] waltercool, try mplayer [05:31] McLoViN: As swf player?

[05:32] cant connect to office wifi [05:32] jeeves: I guess the reason thta Hardware Drivers didn't list it is because it doesn't support your particular card [05:32] mastertop, you could try running this directly from Terminal: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [05:32] USB fs errors [05:32] ok im putting sudo su postgres -c psql [05:32] leaf-sheep: Yes, I try to send a file from my server to my desktop. I'm logges into my server using ssh from my desktop, then I want to send at copy of a file back to my desktop computer from my server (that I use by remote ssh from my desktop). [05:32] McLoViN: What package of mplayer works as plugin? [05:32] Valentina: I think you need to look up on scp examples. You'll want to do this --> scp doStuffs.sh valentina@desktop:~/Scripts [05:32] leaf-sheep: Yes, I try to send a file from my server to my desktop. I'm logges into my server using ssh from my desktop, then I want to send at copy of a file back to my desktop computer from my server (that I use by remote ssh from my de [05:32] and i tried sudo -u mylogin postgres -c psql [05:32] Jordan_U, hummm, ideas?

[05:33] waltercool, 0.11.1b [05:33] jeeves: I don't know what to do about the hanging, sorry [05:33] dnathe4th, eh, don't think so. just do this for now. or do you want to purge it also? [05:33] blood, it depends what kind of source file you're talking about, can you explain a little more? [05:33] Jordan_U, ok, no worries. this is just my desktop replacement laptop, so it's usally wired. [05:33] kostkon, i purged, then did that, same error [05:33] psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "login" [05:34] tried it, it says E: The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

If I have a partially complete torrent download done using one software, can a different software complete it? [05:34] McLoViN: mozilla-mplayer? [05:34] hereiam: make sure that you are using exactly what I gave you [05:34] leaf-sheep: What would be the difference between scp filename username@ip-address:/home/username/ and the scp filename username@ip-address:~/ [05:35] waltercool: yea thats the one [05:35] sudo -u posgtres psql [05:35] leaf-sheep: It would be the sam, right? [05:35] hereiam: that should work [05:35] says sudo: unknown user: posgtres [05:35] Valentina: Nothing. It's same. Yes. [05:35] is there any way I can disable the fact that I see people enterinmg and leaving the channel under the webchat? [05:35] so i changed it to my login right?

(the logon/restart/shut down) icon in gnome.... any ideas [07:57] Lownin: those files must be copied to the new users home directory [07:57] astechgeek1: elaborate, what exactly do you want [07:58] Gnea, but if this works good i'll need your help after for doing the real interesting thing, putting an entry in the grub of the pen drive to install directly ubuntu on other machines, in fact the principe is not to have a live cd that can be use as persistant to be able to save configurations but a real installed ubuntu and a package on this installation that makes me able to install ubuntu as live cd is doing it (would need [07:58] only 750 megs) and i could add it to a personnal designed grub and i'll try to script then with the new grub to make 2 principal entries that would load different modules either for and nvidia computer either for an ati computer (i know hal detectes automaticly) but i'd like to use compiz fusion and that it works on any graphic cards computer === Axis is now known as ph33r [07:58] astechgeek1: ext3 is a good filesystem to use if that is all you are asking [07:58] Billiard, i can see your help a few people at once so i am sorry to persist but youre the only one to respond to my cry for help so.... any ideas? [07:58] witakr, thank you for the suggestion [07:58] I have 3 80gb sata drives that I dont have anything on I want to use them as extra space to store stuff on what is the best format [07:58] jacquesdupontd: you won't need my help because you'll know the device name already (it asks you exactly where you want grub installed to.. at least, it should) [07:58] jacquesdupontd: and I have to go anyway, so I won't be here [07:58] davidjheinrich, no problem i hope it helps [07:59] jacquesdupontd: sorry, I'm sure someone else can help... gotta sleep [07:59] astechgeek1: go for ext4 [07:59] Gnea, that would make a grub with 3 principal entries, Install directly Xubuntu, Load your travelling ubuntu (Nvidia Computer), Load your travelling ubuntu (Ati Computer) [07:59] Lownin: everyone should be able to read from /etc/skel maybe your new user doesnt even have a home directory to write to [07:59] hi all. does anyone know to any software that works on ubuntu for extracting you tube video files???

I do: apt-cache search ffmpeg mpeg2 codec and results dones't contain any codecs [08:00] Billiard: I've copied the files .bash_logout, .bashrc, and .profile to the home dir of the user. permissions on each file are -rw-r--r--. User and group ownership are set to the user. When I re-login, I have the same problem. [08:00] ph33r: how would i do that? im not very good when it comes to coding etc [08:00] syn-ack, can I dump it somehow into an xorg so I can tweak it [08:01] john-saint: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/04/download-youtube-videos-as-mp4-files.html [08:01] i cant get higher than 1024x768 [08:01] Any ideas how to find/install mpeg2 codec on Ubuntu? [08:01] klong, That, I don't know. [08:01] Lownin: run pwd after you log in [08:01] john-saint: I seem to recall there are firefox plugins for downloading youtube videos.... [08:01] ok I did a bonehead!! Ikilled fast user switching... (the logon/restart/shut down) icon in gnome.... any ideas [08:01] john-saint: simple isn't it ? hehe [08:01] Billiard, ok thanks, Yeah I have been googling this whole time and only found so far solutions to other peoples problems that are the same thing I am having, but thanks anyhow. [08:02] Billiard: I ran pwd. It returned the location of my home directory /mnt/storage/home/rtorrent [08:02] fantomas: tried the restricted codecs ? [08:02] which is correct. [08:02] Billiard, *aren't [08:02] ph33r: not yet. Is mpeg2 codec in restricted? [08:02] fantomas: get them, you should be able to play almost anything [08:02] ph33r: il give it a go but all this is new to me cus not been on ubuntu long! [08:02] is mpeg2 codecs suported by ffmpeg lib [08:02] fantomas: I am not too sure, but I normally get them and not worry about file formats [08:03] !mm [08:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about mm [08:03] witakr, yea, it's a great suggestion...save me $ and give me options down the road [08:03] john-saint: this works in windows too (IF you use F) it's not related to ubuntu/linux [08:03] !codecs [08:03] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [08:03] I've somehow killed all the borders around all my windows... what package is that again...?

[08:04] davidjheinrich, yeah, thats what i would do... the only draw back is both computer will need to be running when you need to send a print job from your laptop [08:04] chrispitzer: you mean emerald ? [08:04] ph33r: yeah, works like charm now :) xvidcap started recording [08:04] ph33r: thank you [08:04] john-saint: don't give up, karmic with ext4 is far better than win7, no ffense meant to win users [08:04] fantomas: no problem :) [08:04] yea, true...but since I have my tower running sometimes 24x7 (too lazy to wait for boot-up, although I suppose I should turn it off, as it only takes a min to boot) [08:05] ph33r: thanks for the info. chat soon [08:05] john-saint: you are welcome [08:06] I have a problem with wireless.

[08:12] android: linux does'nt need to defrag hd, only window needs that, your hdd will be fine [08:12] cause the more funny is that there's an exe so no problem for doing it from a windows but i don't see any executable file for ubuntu [08:12] EvaLuaTe: what I normally do is, uncheck the "enable wireless" and re-check it again [08:13] ph33r: where would I do that? wicd? [08:13] EvaLuaTe: you see a wireless icon ? right click [08:14] ph33r: no, I don't. I guess you mean the NetworkManager icon, but that's been unistalled when I installed wicd [08:14] i noticed in groups there is no rt or pulse-rt. could this be causing my problems of 'jackd: no process found'? [08:14] ph33r: ok well that was n0t it, but I had to find it in synamptics [08:14] jacquesdupontd, did you try right clicking the desktop icon for the disc and clicking run auto-start program? or something to that effect? [08:14] ph33r: that's not strictly accurate... [08:14] witakr, didn't checked [08:14] EvaLuaTe: wicd ? uh-oh sorry, never used that [08:14] jacquesdupontd: .deb (Debian/Ubuntu) is the equivalent of .exe (Winblows) [08:14] ph33r: That's cool then. Thank you very much :) [08:15] DigitalKiwi: you mean the defrag one ? [08:15] linux file systems do fragment but not as much as ntfs [08:15] yeah I know, but not like fat/ntfs [08:15] leaf-sheep, ok but i don't see this .deb [08:15] yeah ^^ [08:15] and normally as long as you don't let your hard drive get too full you'll be fine [08:15] depending on the filesystem defragmenters exist, others do not have them [08:15] what is the difference between the shutdown options -P and -H? means what is the difference between "halt" and "power off"?

[08:17] leaf-sheep, coud you explain me where you see any.deb in the ubuntu live cd ? [08:18] Marlboro, what kind of card do you have? what version of ubuntu do you have installed? [08:18] leaf-sheep, seems it's only possible to do a graphic install from ONE os and that's windows :( [08:18] jacquesdupontd: I never said that. I only pointed out that .deb is the equivalent of .exe -- What are you trying to do in first place? === hy is now known as _hy [08:19] leaf-sheep, i have 6 years of ubuntu thx to answer me by something so basic that has no rapport, i was just pointing knowing what is a .deb that you can't install ubuntu from ubuntu cause there's only a .exe and no .DEB [08:21] jacquesdupontd: Since I don't know what you're trying to accomplish, I'm going to say this -- If you really want to run *whatever* it is in .exe -- You want !wine or !virtual [08:22] For some wacky reason my .ICEauthority was borked, and now the only fix i have been able to find is to create a new user, I cannot get to my filed from my other user, only "access your private data" but when i click on that nothing happens, also, when i run ecryptfs-mount-privatem ut guves ne ab error [08:22] files* [08:23] jacquesdupontd, you want to install ubuntu on top of an ubuntu install WHILE you're running ubuntu? [08:24] witakr, i want to install ubuntu on an other drive but from my alreayd installed ubuntu, should be easy no ? [08:24] you dawg we heard u liked ubuntu so we put an ubuntu in your ubuntu so you can linux while you linux? [08:24] s/you/yo/ [08:24] I still have problems with this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/448447 [08:24] witakr, i found it amazing that i need to either burn ubuntu on a cd and reboot with the cd (used for nothing) or mount the image with daemontools in winblows to install it from winblows [08:25] witakr, but anyway i'm gonna do like that [08:25] is there some way around this or should I create an new user [08:25] seems an crappy solution ! [08:25] witakr, except if you see another solution [08:25] guys how do i place server on net ? [08:25] jacquesdupontd, yes but its just as easy to slip the live cd in your drive, restart and install that way too [08:25] my server on net [08:25] i just tried to install ubuntu 9.10.... and it again gave me an error, "Resize operation failure: An error occured while writing the changes to the storage devices. The resize operation has been aborted." :( [08:26] witakr, do you read me ? to make that you need a blank cd wich is totally stupid when can mount an .iso file [08:26] quit [08:26] dewd: you could try renaming your firefox settings directory [08:27] jacquesdupontd, ok so mount the iso to a use and boot from there.. System > Admin > USB Startup Disc Creator [08:27] jacquesdupontd: you could use a usb drive or there are ways to install from an iso on a hard drive [08:27] witakr, and what's more funny is (i want to install that ubuntu on an a usb pen drive) and all around the web when you type install ubuntu on a usb pen drive they only talk about installation of a LIVE CD on a usb pen drive and not of a REAL installation on a usb pen drive [08:28] !usb | jacquesdupontd [08:28] jacquesdupontd: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [08:28] well migrating a vbox .ovf from vista to 9.10 was easy [08:28] witakr, you're funny, you're able to boot on mounted .iso files ? [08:28] jacquesdupontd: grub can boot isos [08:28] man help me [08:29] I have installed Ubuntu Server 9.10 and LAMP. I got the Apache running and I can see php is working. But when I use aptitude show php5 it says php isn't installed. Why? [08:29] DigitalKiwi, i have a usb live key, that's what i want to do install ubuntu on it and not that crappy live cd that boot slowly as it extract file from his 750 mb data, and would be difficule to install a ubuntu on a usb pen drive from the ubuntu installation on tis usb pen drive [08:29] or in the time you've spent talking here have burnt a disk and installed ;D [08:29] Just updated Jaunty and now get "undefined reference" for libsoup2.4 on "g_socket.." functions when linking a program. Any ideas? [08:29] jacquesdupontd, the utility makes your usb a bootable drive therefor its not a iso when you use this utility rather like a cd but on a USB [08:29] anyone have FF3 for DS? [08:30] DigitalKiwi, grub can boot iso ? that is a great information [08:30] i've never done it but know people who have, so you could boot from the iso and install to your usb [08:30] witakr, you're not following thx for having tried to help me [08:30] jacquesdupontd, thats the sole purpose of the USB Startup Disc Creator [08:31] Billiard, it is not limited to the firefox icon, actually no problem there [08:31] hi [08:32] witakr, please man, i've did it and that's why i want to make a real install cause usb startup disc creator creates a live cd on a usb disk and not a installed ubuntu on a usb disk wich makes a big difference cause you have more a install usb pen drive than a usb ubuntu drive [08:32] Why doesn't sudo aptitude show php5 show that php is installed when I have installed LAMP on Ubuntu Server? Why is PHP and Apache working but aptitude saying that php5 isn't installed? [08:32] <|ntegra|> can you tell me how to 'umask=000' my shared vfat partition please [08:32] Billiard, the problem is within the "Browse icons" screen for instance create an new launcher on the desktop, click on icon selector button, you don't find your icon -> switch to another directory -> no icons are shown [08:32] witakr, if you would read me you wouldn't say things that i know since a long that i've made since a long time and that are not talking about what i ask [08:32] Billiard, only the default dir gives me icons.. [08:32] DigitalKiwi, i'm gonna check that for the .iso file seems really interesting [08:32] <|ntegra|> I can't save to it > it's owned by root,plugdev [08:33] 8008 [08:33] sorry n00b here, where can i find the WEB-INF/lib, i need to place a jar file there to use it in my jsp, me on ubuntu [08:33] jacquesdupontd, ok, i digress, good luck [08:33] jacquesdupontd: Were you trying to protect a blank disc? [08:33] DigitalKiwi, thx gonna do all my stuff and will come back to tell you how good it's working [08:33] Has anyone here built e-text editor on Ubuntu? [08:33] dewd: could try renaming your gnome settings dir maybe, .gconf or w/e its called [08:33] Has anyone here built e-text editor on Ubuntu? Did it work alright, did it work with textmate bundles, any bugs or crasches? === _hy is now known as hy [08:34] Billiard, hmm the profile is rather new already, but a lot of settings have been changed since then obviously [08:34] leaf-sheep, i'm just trying to be intelligent to reduce stupidity to use capibilities of our system and by the way not to waste cd's for nothing yes [08:35] dewd: tahts why your are just renaming, so you can always put it back, just see if it fixes the problem [08:35] <|ntegra|> actually I just want to change the ownership of the (vfat) partition so all my programs can save stuff there [08:35] why is audacious not 'fetching' in synaptic ? [08:35] Billiard, k I'll try later today, choose some stupid nonrelated icon for now :-S [08:36] |ntegra|: do you have a line for it in you fstab?

[10:14] (with update manager, again) [10:14] lebu: if you need a gui, install desktop [10:14] i've upgraded manually to ubuntu karmic (with aptitude) [10:14] ActionParsnip1: i also want server side as well.... [10:14] what about installing server with kde? [10:15] lebu: you can run server apps on the desktop, if you cant live without a gui, install desktop [10:15] now update manager tells me that he cant update from "karmic" to "hardy" :\ [10:15] something about incomplete update [10:15] how can i fix that? (clear his cache or something) [10:15] ActionParsnip1: whats your input on the other option? [10:15] lebu: its pointless, you will have the same as the desktop. you will gain nothing. the whole idea of the sever is to not have a gui for security and to save resources [10:15] lebu: kde tends to be even heavier on resource use than gnome. if it's just a learning machine, that's fine, but on a production server, more resources used for the desktop environment=less for the serrvices the server is providing [10:15] llutz: it does with mine i'm using XChat-GNOME 0.26.1 [10:15] 1ics | lebu [10:15] !ics | lebu [10:15] lebu: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [10:16] lebu: you can share the connection on a desktop install [10:16] legend2440: you also can add new networkds/server?

[10:17] lebu: could buy a router, its cheaper than a PC [10:17] and we now use libdvdread4 instead of libdvdcss2? [10:18] lebu: uses less power too, but home grade routers will not give you the power a PC as router will give you [10:18] llutz: to add servers you open Edit>Preferences>Networks and press Add button [10:18] action, trying to learn..... i want to setup my own internal internet [10:18] ok actionpartinship i sudo samba restarted samba opend 'net' then chose join domainand i get this invitingdopeman@invitingdopeman-desktop:~$ net dom join [10:18] usage: net dom join [10:18] Join a remote machine [10:18] usage: net dom unjoin [10:18] Unjoin a remote machine [10:18] invitingdopeman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Please! I tried uninstalling lamp-server and accidently uninstalled the kubuntu-desktop i think. Now when I login all I can see is the terminal. HALP! [10:22] w32codecs used to be available in Ubuntu without having to got to medibuntu [10:23] i assumed ubuntu-restriced-extras included it [10:23] ActionParsnip1: so installing desktop is basically the same as installing server with a desktop? [10:23] Ubuntu-user: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [10:23] vange_dk: are you sure the fs is ext4? [10:23] irssi looks simple, i got this working right away so where is the difficulty ? :O === arunv1 is now known as tarlemunde [10:24] /etc/init.d/kdm WONT WORK :( [10:24] Someone? [10:25] lizzzy: you miss an option, what does "apt-cache policy kdm" say? [10:25] service kdm start ? [10:25] lebu: yes, you will have the server kernel which has PAE as an option but for what you need the desktop is fine [10:25] PAE? sorry my newbieness [10:25] what about aircrack [10:25] lebu: its a way for 32bit systems to access more than 3Gb ram [10:26] aah [10:27] lebu: there are other differences [10:27] I have a lot of imprtant information in it, so I can't reinstall now. llutz: It says Installed: (none) Candidate: 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu7 and the version table [10:27] does anyone know how to get nvidia drivers to work with ubuntu when using Sun Virtual box? [10:27] klong: It states a rejected send message [10:27] lizzzy: so how should it start if it isn't installed? [10:27] its just ive been told by a few others that i should install desktop and just run the server apps via that, and others are telling me to install server with a desktop [10:27] A1Multi: virtual box doesnt use nvidia drivers, it uses its own hardware as the hardware is virtualised [10:27] llutz: I cannot install anything. I'm in the login terminal :( [10:28] I can't seem to make the my computer install flash 10 ... I downloaded the deb install file but I don't know how to run it. [10:28] ok so i cant get 3d support [10:28] pjfry1, click the file [10:28] pjfry1: double click it [10:29] @llutz no, hte fs is ext3 - but a official guide shows that I can mount an ext3 fs with ext4 driver. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ConvertFilesystemToExt4 [10:29] llutz: I accidently uninstalled lamp-server^ and it asked i kdm should be stopped and i pressed yes. === whoever is now known as Guest75500 [10:29] lebu: you can install any app in the desktop and it will run as a service. If you need the gui and dont like configuring stuff via command line or web interface then instal desktop as thats what you will end up with in the end so why bother with the intermediate step [10:29] lizzzy: sudo apt-get install kdm [10:29] llutz: So, now when I login, it goes to the login terminal instead of loading kdm [10:29] A1Multi: install the guest additions, the 3d support isnt fantastic so dont expect miracles [10:30] after a google and a couple of days of fiddling, I've figured I will try asking here: has anybody had the problem that karmic fails to find the root partition and boot-up drops into initramfs [10:30] ? [10:30] llutz: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages... [10:30] I installed the guest additions...now what do I do [10:30] ActionParsnip1: because im wanting to learn the server side..... the intermediate side.... while also having the option to browse via a browser, use messenger, play a few games.... [10:30] lebu: then install server and configure everything from CLI like a true server [10:30] vange_dk: have you enabled the ext4 features? [10:30] I've found this is the same using the livecd for karmic (but not jaunty), so have attempted to change grub.conf to point to the actual root instead of the uuid [10:31] A1Multi: you may need to edit xorg.conf to use the new driver [10:31] dmesg doesn't even come up with any hard disk details for the karmic livecd [10:31] ok how [10:31] lol [10:31] quitte [10:31] lizzzy: do it [10:31] llutz: In sudo apt-gt -f install, I get another error that says "Unable to fetch archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing" [10:31] A1Multi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=777759 [10:31] @llutz nope - as I read the guide, the ext4-driver should be in use even though I the fs doesn't use ext4 features [10:32] ta [10:32] @llutz I dare not enable ext4 features, if somehow my system cannot load ext4 driver [10:32] A1Multi: just to check, you did run the script on the guest additions CD the appdownloaded after you mounted it? [10:32] vange_dk: without enabling those features, the FS is ext3 and kernel will mount it as ext3 [10:32] llutz: sudo apt-get update --> Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored or old ones used instead [10:33] llutz: Also, failed to fetch packages. [10:33] yes I did [10:33] so i save the xorg.conf on that website? [10:33] A1Multi: good [10:33] llutz: ? [10:34] A1Multi: sure, drop it into /etc/X11/xorg.conf then restart the x server [10:34] Can any one tell me how to put ur http server on net ? [10:34] I'm stuck and I have an important exam tomorrow :( :( :( [10:34] lizzzy: check your sources [10:34] my apt-get doesn't can't seem to find the archive for the flash 10 player [10:34] help me bro [10:34] python_root: port forward port 80 in your router to port 80 on the system running the web serving service [10:34] python root: did you install the web server such as apache? [10:34] llutz: There doesn't seem to be any problem with the /etc/apt/sources.list file. Everything is fine. [10:34] if i have a folder: var/backups/files and then have a share on another server myshare$ and in /etc/fstab do: //IP/myshare$ /var/backups/files when I do a backup and it goes into /var/backups/files does it goto myshare$ and /var/backup/files? or is it only in one location, ie if I delete from /var/backup/files does it go? [10:35] i've problem with my graphic [10:35] ActionParsnip1: How todo that ? [10:35] I've tried to instal ubuntu 9.10 on a 8GB CF-card, but the installer stops when creating the partition. I've moved to card to another machine with ubuntu already installed, and tried to run mkfs on the partion, but this also hangs. I can't even kill -9 the mkfs process. Anyone have any tips to fix this? [10:35] i use a intel gma 4500, and cant get a full dekstop [10:35] python_root: it varys wildly from router to router so you will have to RTFM [10:35] RTFM [10:36] ? [10:36] python_root: read the fat manual ;) [10:36] @llutz: the guide says it will use ext4 driver on a ext3 filesystem... hmmm. I have to try it soon - but I must be carefull, as it is my primary pc. [10:36] llutz: Must I reinstall? I have important files in it. [10:36] lizzzy: if "... Some index files failed to download.." there must be something wrong. either wait and try again later or check for different mirrors [10:36] what do i type to sudo edit the xorg.conf? [10:37] A1Multi: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [10:37] llutz: It's the login terminal and I highly doubt its connected to the internet. [10:37] lizzzy: you can access all your data from commandline [10:37] ta [10:37] llutz: Command line way to connect to wifi? [10:37] lizzzy: ahmm it's not this machine you're typing from? [10:37] no [10:37] lizzzy: read man iwconfig [10:37] pjfry1: open system>admin>software sources make sure multiverse repo is enabled [10:38] hi, how do i know what linux distro's better for my old laptop?

I have done everything correctly - the problem is not at my end [10:54] anyone having the same issue with samba [10:54] Blizzerand: most modern bios' can boot from PXE [10:54] ActionParsnip1: I give up. i'll jsut reinstall the whole thing. Before that any idea, how can I take a back up of all the important information if thats even possible??? [10:55] lizzzy: you should have a backup if your data is important [10:55] ActionParsnip1: Backup through command line that is. [10:55] if only i bought a different colour ipod. I wouldn't be having any trouble at all. [10:55] ACtionParsnip: Well ok I guess I can't really install it over scp or ssh [10:55] ActionParsnip1: I just installed it a week ago and didn't expect it would bomb on me this soon :( [10:55] Ubuntu-user: Was it mplayer ?

[10:55] lizzzy: backup your home folder and xorg.conf resolv.conf hosts smb.conf (depends what you use as to what you need to backup) as I say you should have a backup if the data is important [10:56] Debian-user, mplayer yes, i was told it is the best player in the Linux galaxy [10:56] Debian-user, I've found this possiblity, convert mkv to .avi ?

Is it possible tyo get into a live CD and back up all the info on the hard drive to my USB? [10:57] meowbuntuce: ok looks like you need to find perl-base somewhere: perl: Depends: perl-base (= 5.10.0-19ubuntu1) but 5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1 is installed [10:57] ActionParsnip1: I'm pretty sure that should work right?

I'm actully trying to setup a RSYNC server on an OpenWRT box later on in the project, but for now, I just need my laptop backed up before I hit the unfriendly skys of the U.S.A. [11:03] SharpRain, watch the language [11:03] Debian-user, hahahahahahahaha [11:04] ActionParsnip1: right, so i just need to run the bios setup and read it from there :D and if it's less than 300 mhz i better look for a lighweighted linux distro, otherwise even xubuntu won't run properly, am i right? :D [11:04] Debian-user, i did it... had to finish this how-to http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/27/how-to-play-rmvb-files-in-ubuntu/ [11:04] jeeves: just copy the data to another device for now, or burn some DVDs [11:04] ActionParsnip1, the problem is that if they take my netbook, I'm sure they'll take everything else, and the "server" I'd be backing up to if my desktop @ home in Ont. Stupid American layovers [11:05] Debian-user, had to go into Mplayer preferences and make a couple changes in the Video tab and Codex & demuxer tabs [11:05] how do I know the programs that are running and how to I stop it using the terminal ? [11:05] When i install ubuntu inside windows, the wubi install has freezed in the "creating virtual disks" section. [11:05] Ubuntu-user: Was that in .rmvb format ? [11:05] Whats the problem? [11:06] Ubuntu-user: Or .mkv foramt ? [11:06] hey guys are there major differences between ubuntu and debian, reason i'm asking is to hear some expert feedback [11:06] When i install ubuntu inside windows, the wubi install has freezed in the "creating virtual disks" section. Whats the problem? [11:06] Debian-user, was what in .rmvb or .mkv format? [11:07] Ubuntu-user, it's a video format [11:07] should i try debian to see how ubuntu has evolved from debian or would i be better off just sticking to ubuntu [11:07] Ubuntu-user: That file you are trying to play with mplayer [11:07] Debian-user, it was .mkv [11:07] When i install ubuntu inside windows, the wubi install has freezed in the "creating virtual disks" section. Whats the problem? [11:07] Debian-user, and smplayer works out of the box too :D [11:07] i naturally have an inquisitive mind [11:07] kirul: did you md5 test the wubi installer? [11:07] CopyWriter, lets move this to #ubuntu-offtopic [11:08] Ubuntu-user, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=.mkv+format+wiki [11:08] how do I know which programs are running and how to I stop it using the terminal ?

[11:09] bazhang, sorry, I've had it tossed in my face so often that I thought I'd "dish" for a while [11:09] bazhang, did you want to take a stab @ this RSYNC server config with me? [11:10] Ubuntu-user: Why did you go for .rmvb documentation?

[11:10] why my laptop can't found any wireless? [11:10] Debian-user, its what ActionParsnip1 linked me to, so i just followed the how-to and it worked [11:10] Ubuntu-user, lol, don't worry. I'm sure everyone was the same way. When did you install it, and what OS did you come from? [11:10] i am mounting a CIFS, if i copy files to it, the owner is nobody and the group=nogroup. is there a way to use the correct user and group for each file? [11:11] Ubuntu-user: Fine, [11:11] wizz: drivers maybe, or the device is off via a killswitch [11:11] jeeves, i crossed over from windows, but have used ubuntu since a couple releases now already... but each release seems to bring its own challenges [11:11] In another computer, the wubi installer is worked good [11:11] Ubuntu-user: Can you please post dpkg -l | grep essential [11:11] ? [11:12] how to make it on ActionParsnip1 ? [11:12] wizz: if you run: sudo iwlist scan it will scan for networks, if you dont find anything you can run: sudo lshw -C network the product line will tell you what the device is and you can websearch for guides [11:12] In this computer the installer has freezed at the "creating virtual disks" section. [11:12] wizz: you may need to use a wired connection for a while til you get on your feet [11:12] Ubuntu-user, this is true. I run 1 Ubuntu production server (http, ftp, mail, etc), and all of my systems dual boot. Too bad we can't get native support for the Adobe suite. if that was the case,Windows would be GONE! [11:12] how do i setup proxy profiles?? [11:12] Ubuntu-user, [11:13] thanks ActionParsnip1 [11:13] Ubuntu-user: This is special for .rmbv files ,isn't it ? [11:13] Ubuntu-user, and to top it off, my big desktop system is a higher preformance desktop, so I need something slim linned [11:13] ActionParsnip1: what is that tool to check partition tables? [11:14] check soemtinh [11:14] I've a sound card which I cannot properly control with the new pulse-audio mixer: alsamixer shows "Master", "PCM" and "LFE" channels, but pulse-audio only shows one scale and pushes PCM and LFE to 100% which is too loud, since Master does almost nothing.... How can I change such behaviour? [11:14] indus: fsck ? === Ubuntu-user is now known as livingdaylight [11:14] no to check and repair partition tables [11:14] (I can still use alsamixer, but any touch at multimedia buttons is drastic) [11:15] indus: i thought fsck did that, not sure man [11:15] Also, with speakers everything is OK [11:15] indus: the option: -n Check read only, make no changes to the file system. [11:15] because LFE does not sound there, and since I have physic speakers volume I can adjust volume level there [11:16] I have an 80 gig and a 160 gig drive. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on the 80 gig, and used the 160 as my /home mount, for all my personal files. I want to make another partition on the 80 gig that is writable, so I can put extra personal files there too. How do I go about it? [11:16] nicle: fsck -n ? [11:16] indus: maybe :) [11:17] delano: man chown [11:17] delano: you could just make a folder on the 80Gb somewhere, then make it owned and writable by your user and make a symbolic link in your home folder to the folder on the 80Gb [11:17] exit [11:17] ActionParsnip1, okay, how do I do that? I can't add any folders to the root... [11:18] hello any special commande to uninstall totally winehq ? [11:18] delano: sure you can, use sudo when you need power [11:18] delano: you have to make the folder as root and then change the permissions [11:18] sudo apt-get purge winehq [11:18] thanks [11:18] delano: sudo mkdir the_folder [11:19] delano: sudo chown user:group the_folder [11:19] delano: change folder user and group as appropiate [11:19] Till when is Ubuntu 9.04 supported [11:19] !HDD [11:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about HDD [11:19] !checkdisk [11:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about checkdisk [11:19] delano: sudo mkdir /path/to/new/folder; sudo chown $USER:$USER /path/to/new/folder; ln -s /path/to/new/folder ~/stuff [11:19] indus: fsck -n /dev/sdx [11:20] Hey hey back again [11:20] delano: with that command, the folder /path/to/new/folder is accessible from the folder ~/stuff and is writable by your user as it is owned by it, just change /path/to/new/folder to the location of the folder you wish to use and change ~/stuff to where you want the link to appear [11:20] raeppa ot knil eht tnaw uoy erehw ot ffuts/~ egnahc dna esu ot hsiw uoy redlof eht fo noitacol eht ot redlof/wen/ot/htap/ egnahc tsuj ,ti yb denwo si ti sa resu ruoy yb elbatirw si dna ffuts/~ redlof eht morf elbissecca si redlof/wen/ot/h [11:21] delano: just make sure your backups follow links so you do not miss the data in the backup process [11:21] ssecorp pukcab eht ni atad eht ssim ton od uoy os sknil wollof spukcab ruoy erus ekam tsuj :onaled [11:21] Hi.

[11:22] ActioinParsnip1: hi man could find but the other I can't [11:22] Know it my works ISO [11:22] ActionParsnip1, sorry, you're going too fast for me [11:22] NightEyes: is it the DVD ISO? [11:22] custom build SUSE [11:22] NightEyes: u can the md5sum of the DVD iso [11:23] ActionParsnip1, how do I make the /stuff folder? [11:23] delano: ok i'll give you an example that will work. Does your / partition have spare space? [11:23] NightEyes: u can check the md5sum of the DVD iso [11:23] DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus), is my samba error infomation,who can tall i how do. [11:23] ActionParsnip1, yeah, tons [11:23] how can I check that I if I have nothing to compare it to [11:23] can someone tell me how to fasten the synaptic manager? Like, to rehash/rebuild/reformat the daatabase or soemthing? [11:23] delano: sudo mkdir /opt/mystuff; sudo chown $USER:$USER /opt/mystuff; ln -s /opt/mystuff ~/stuff [11:24] well my problem is that i deleted the file .wine from home folder, then when i reinstall winehq the .wine still not in home and still keep wine program i install b4 in the applications folder... any idea ? [11:24] delano: you will see a folder in ~ called stuff, but when you put data in that file it will ACTUALLY be written to /opt/mystuff [11:24] delano: using a symbolic link [11:24] hi there, i had just loaded ubuntu 9.10 on my dell inspiron 8200 laptop and started getting crash reports on the top right, could it be that the cd is corrupted ? [11:25] stinger05: could be anything, what crash reports? [11:25] delano: in a terminal it will also appear as a folder, just like the other folders in ~ but its a special kind of file [11:25] ActionParsnip1, and here is the symbolic link? In my /home? [11:25] hey guys...quck question...when opening synaptic you have to first put in your password..thats fine :)...but ..is there a way to "lighten" the darkening of the background when the passworkd dialog appears?? [11:25] ActionParsnip1:one I could find so I shutted down but I know there are onther two because I typped who and saw it but when I type ps I can't identify which [11:25] delano: when you run that command, yes === matthew is now known as Guest63349 [11:26] emerson: thats not english, try using simpler terms [11:26] coz_: that has nothing to do with just synaptic, thats gksudo [11:26] Tartaros, ok is there a way to lighten that? [11:26] ok i down it but the right commande is sudo apt-get purge wine and not winehq. [11:26] Tartaros : dont remember exactly, but it was closing programs, like samba or something something, and there wasnt any sound at all after the OS loaded in RAM [11:26] ActionParsnip1, and if I want to call it, say, Data? I just replace instances of mystuff with Data? [11:26] <[Gloom]> Hi there [11:27] stinger05: well you need to remember exactly if you want to fix it :) [11:27] the md5sum looks fine they match up [11:27] coz_: I dunno, just telling you where to look for clues :D [11:27] Tartaros, I understand about the gksudo thanks :) [11:27] ActionParsnip1, also, how do I delete it? [11:27] <[Gloom]> I have a usb disk mounted (ntfs-3g), and I'd like the system not to have write access to a folder. Is that possible? [11:27] I would try threw the terminal if anyone thinks I may have better luck [11:27] Tartaros : no worries then, i'll load it again and keep u posted in a few mins, sorry my laptop is slow and old :( [11:27] since upgrade to karmic, mpd won't work and audacious produces srambled sound after a while (with hig cpu usage from pulseaudio). Can I just remove pulseaudio ? [11:28] ActionParsnip1: i am having trouble finding perl-base 5.10.0-19ubuntu1 [11:28] delano: the link and folder are yours so you can delete them like any other folder [11:28] NightEyes: did you have the Nero verify the whole DVD after burning? [11:28] ActionParsnip1:sorry man so I typped and and I realsed that three softwares was running I shutted down 1 but I don't know the other three..that's what I'm saying . [11:28] ActionParsnip1, if I try to delete it, it tells me I can't [11:28] ActionParsnip1: there is heaps about perl-base 5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1 but not alot about how to get [11:28] meowbuntuce: try: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas and http://packages.ubuntu.com [11:28] Where can I ask about Ubuntu bugs? I tried google but no Joy. [11:28] coz_: looks like --disable-grab is doing what you want, so try adding that after the "gksud" command in the synaptic launcher [11:29] delano: then use gksudo nautilus and you will have all the power you need [11:29] Tartaros, will do ..looking at ligbksu right now :) [11:29] I don't use nero but everything burned fine until I tried to boot [11:29] ActioinParsnip1:I shutted it down as you said. [11:29] emerson: shut what down? [11:29] NightEyes: did u set the bios to boot from DVD driver? [11:29] yes [11:30] even tried in VB [11:30] ActioinParsnip1:the softwares that was running... [11:30] NightEyes: can the VB boot from the DVD iso? [11:31] emerson: what software is that? [11:31] no it does exactly as the PC does [11:31] ActioinParsnip1:one was amule and the other two I don't know ... [11:32] NightEyes: would you please paste the name of your DVD image? [11:32] little blinking underscore and stays like that [11:32] <[Gloom]> I have a usb disk mounted (ntfs-3g), and I'd like the system not to have write access to a folder. Is that possible? [11:32] emerson: ive not talked to anyone about amule today [11:32] hello, i have just installed xubuntu; and i don't know why, but now, the things i open are not in windows, also, i can't minimize them [11:32] ActionParsnip1, thanks! [11:33] delano: np man [11:33] messiah: that means you have no window manager running. But I dunno what's the default one for xubuntu... [11:33] openSUSE-11.1-DVD-i586.iso [11:33] ActionParsnip1, do you have a resource for Linux terminal commands? I can see I'm gonna need them... [11:33] Tartaros: i just checked the cd, its has errors! :( [11:33] !cli | delano [11:33] delano: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [11:33] ActioinParsnip1:not about amule but you said to me to use ps -ef | less and kill remember now ? [11:33] i just restarted my pc and now i cant use ctrl-tab, my windows dont have a windows border with quit/minimze etc and when i press the show desktop button it says your window manager does not support the show desktop button... [11:33] im using karmic [11:33] NightEyes: maybe here is wrong place for you [11:34] emerson: yes, yes [11:34] and gdm-restart brings not supported [11:34] stinger05: your installation cd? well you probably still can reinstall the affected things with packages you download [11:34] I have a motorola phone that is connected to ubuntu.. I can see that its connected by df -h does not show its mounted... [11:34] I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 to make it are you sure [11:34] emerson: you can read the running proccesses with ps -ef | less then kill using the pid of the process [11:34] When I look at my phone I can see that its charging via the computer.. hows it possible? [11:34] Tartaros, i have just re-installed because yesterday i tryed the last chance for IP static, i deleted NM and some other things, but it didn't worked at all, i mean IP static; and today either, i have just installed and connected to my Wi-Fi and i can't select my static IP with NM.... [11:34] Tartaros: yes its the cd, i'll burn another copy, thanks anyway mate ! [11:35] Karmic line in shows activity no sound on output [11:35] NightEyes: how do u burn the dvd image? [11:35] stinger05: well, as you wish :) [11:35] right click ISO change burner setting to be as low as possible and burn [11:35] ActionParsnip1: i'm affraid perl-base 5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1 is the only one i can find on any of the sites [11:35] I needed to transfer a few important documents.. pls help. [11:35] I've also tried in k3b [11:36] wrapster: usb ports have a 5V DC output to power and charge devices [11:36] NightEyes: if the VB can't boot from the DVD iso, I think it's not the problem of ubuntu [11:36] any ideas? i dont use any desktop effects [11:36] meowbuntuce: then you will have to wait for the devs to catch up, did you by any chance force install a package which was held back?

[11:38] hi~ [11:38] maby i did i got ubuntu 9.04 and upgraded to this http://ubuntuce.com/convert.htm [11:38] hello all [11:38] messiah: Looks like I wont be any more help than I have already been, I am out of ideas [11:38] talsemgeest, i have just re-installed xubuntu... i can't make my ip static... and also now i have the problem that there aren't windows, and i don't know why [11:38] ^ ActionParsnip1 [11:38] talsemgeest, what aboutt he windows problem? [11:38] any idee how to login as root on the screen in Ubuntu 9.10 ? [11:39] messiah: Can you be a bit more detailed with the windows problem? [11:39] wrapster: esiest wayt to find out is on a terminal do « tailf /var/log/messages » then plug your phone [11:39] !root | Catalin [11:39] Catalin: 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 [11:39] ? [11:39] * meowbuntuce wonders how ActionParsnip1 does it in here [11:39] erUSUL, escuse me? [11:39] talsemgeest, hehehe... well, since i re-installed xubuntu (i didn't do anything, just install it) there is not buttons like the X to close, or _ to minimize... everything i open i can't close it or minimize with that [11:39] ActioinParsnip1:when I type shows me how many people a logged in right, if I have two terminals open that comand will tell right ? [11:40] NightEyes: did you say you verified the md5sums for the iso? [11:40] NightEyes: so, what's the cmdline which used to burn the dvd image? [11:40] meowbuntuce: most are common gripes like flash or rubbishy intel video issues [11:40] messiah: Have you tried changing the theme? [11:40] Catalin: there is no root user; you can not log in as root [11:40] talsemgeest, where? [11:40] emerson: not sure, never used it [11:40] how can login after i restart my PC and the system ask me to enter my username or the pass for root [11:40] messiah: Im afraid I havent used xubuntu in a while, so you will have to find it yourself. It should be somewhere in the settings [11:40] there is a root user [11:41] easy if you go to users and groups [11:41] Catalin: you shouldnt log in as root [11:41] !root [11:41] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible.

[11:43] Catalin: the root account isnt disabled to annoy or challenge you, its disabled for security [11:43] Catalin: what everyone is saying is, sudo will give you escalated privileges, and all things is possibl with correct permissions [11:43] ActionParsnip1:one that's why I realised that more things a running in my machine, amule was the easiest to find but the after you told to use and but that other two I can't [11:43] Catalin: depends what method, if you use samba you can use nautilus to share them like you do in windows [11:44] Hi [11:44] !hello | krishna [11:44] krishna: Hi!

[11:59] ActionParsnip1: oh so that clean up is a manual job :) can i just remove xfce and lxde and would it all be gone? [11:59] LexR: I'd assume "Installed manually" means "Installed via .deb files" [11:59] krishna, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [12:00] LexR: I think "installed (manually)" is what you asked it to install while "installed" includes the dependencies it needed as well [12:00] ActionParsnip1: also my gnome power manager is missing. I'm not able to find it in the list when i click "add to panel" [12:00] aLeSD, i entered that. [12:00] SingAlong: if the packages that have been added are removed, then yes. Reoving xubuntu-desktop package will achieve nothing as it is only a metapackage [12:00] aLeSD: I find this cmd line doesn't work in 9.10 anymore [12:00] ActionParsnip1: = ??? is it "sudo dpkg --force-all -i libperl5.10" or "sudo dpkg --force-all -i perl-base= 5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1" [12:00] aLeSD, but gave no output [12:00] I have installed Ubuntu Server together with LAMP. The problem is that sudo aptitude show php5 doesn't show that php is installed. When I create a phpinfo.php file in Apache then I can get the PHP info. Why isn't aptitude showing that the php is installed? [12:00] nicle: well how to reconfigure X ? [12:00] theadmin: jrib: In think that those packages were there after a clean isntall. I did not install any .deb packages except those from the repo using apt-get.. [12:01] how can you remove the oldest file from a certain directory? any ideas? from the terminal? [12:01] aLeSD: I have no idea too :( [12:01] those dpkg xserver commands are all deprecated now [12:01] used to be so useful [12:01] now they do nothing really [12:01] * meowbuntuce is amazed at how ActionParsnip1 remember everthing going on here [12:01] try... ehm... "sudo init 1", then choose "xfix" from menu. [12:01] indus: do I have to edit xorg.conf by hands ? [12:02] aLeSD: i wont advice it really, [12:02] meowbuntuce: its the full file name of the deb file [12:02] I've been using FFADO with jackd successfully within Ubuntu Studio 9.04, however since upgrading to Karmic I get an error when attempting to run jackd, claiming "No firewire adapters (ports) found." [12:02] aLeSD: try... ehm... "sudo init 1", then choose "xfix" from menu. (That was for you :D) [12:02] krishna: well let's try to find out what's going on in the log file [12:02] AdvoWork: oldest in what sense? [12:02] meowbuntuce: the name and thread of conversation jogs my memory [12:02] aLeSD: and with all new promises of ubuntu being easier to configure, we shouldnt do it [12:02] aLeSD, where is log ? [12:02] anyone experienced any problem with keyserver.ubuntu.com? [12:02] theadmin: never ... that's win style [12:02] dont know what it is but perl-base= 5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1should be it [12:02] how to mount ntfs partition when booted ?

[12:03] jrib, basically, x amount of files, i want to remove the oldest file out of them all [12:03] krishna: we will start another X session and we wil check the log file of that session ... ok ? [12:03] ok [12:03] !keyserver | gkey [12:03] gkey: The ubuntu key server is to be found at http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371. If this one is unresponsive you can use most other gpg key servers as well - for instance http://pgp.mit.edu/ [12:03] aLeSD, whatever you say [12:03] lol === darshy_ is now known as sridarshan [12:03] AdvoWork: same question... oldest with regard to what? last modified?

[12:05] alesd are you there ?

[12:08] meowbuntuce: if you used firefoxes retarded default to download to the desktop, you will need to run: cd ~/Desktop first, so the location of the terminal is the same as that of the file [12:08] ah i See ActionParsnip1 i dont know where to look for the exact file name [12:08] aLeSD, run command not found [12:08] zamba: exists here on my clean install of Karmic [12:08] is there a way to auto turn off visual effects on startup ?

Update/Upgrade your machine. See if there are any new packages. [12:29] yareckon: Hm, so your sources pointed to Karmic at one point and you changed them back?

[12:30] lilyshu: try creating a new usb disk with unetbootin [12:31] !unetbootin | lilyshu [12:31] lilyshu: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [12:31] yareckon: yareckon: Try running 'sudo apt-get update' and rechecking Update Manager [12:31] lilyshu: if you have the iso, create a boot able usb from windows also [12:31] indus, shall i logout this root and get in my user account and then paste that file or what ? [12:31] krishna1: its ok wait [12:31] thanks, trying that [12:32] indus : ok i will try unetbootin on kubuntu. i dont have windows. sorry [12:32] lilyshu: ya it has linux version also [12:32] ok... thanks for the help [12:32] figured it out [12:33] krishna1: can u try gnome-display-properties commmand [12:33] yareckon: Okay, if it crops up again you may have to run 'dpkg --configure -a', more so if the update cancelled half way through [12:33] it was a reference to karmic in another apt file... I had apt-pinned karmic really low [12:33] to get the new meld [12:33] I know that that is not supported, but there may be a few developer types who have that habit from debian :) [12:34] Yep I do the same in Deb, a few of my packages are grabbed from unstable on a testing machine [12:34] so the upgrade manager removes third party repos, but doesn't think anyone is crazy enough to be mixing two versions of ubuntu [12:34] krishna1: try this sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [12:35] yareckon: You're probably best commenting them out and just uncommenting them as and when you need them [12:35] howdy [12:36] is there a way to do a minimal install with the desktop cd? [12:36] thanks... I will try that... you guys' helpfulness is a great credit to the project [12:36] indus, that command retuned no output ? [12:36] krishna1: yea nvm === c0_imuT_cr_PCR_S is now known as c0_KUL_aNU [12:37] krishna1: what is your graphics card [12:37] indus, i dont have a graphics card.. i have the on board one that came with dual core [12:37] * tga is surprised the desktop cd doesn't have a 'minimal' option [12:37] krishna1: ok intel then [12:37] indus, yes [12:37] tga: minimal cd is separate download [12:37] indus, ccommand to find the name ? [12:38] krishna1: lspci [12:38] indus: I know, it means I have to burn it though [12:38] lspci | grep what ? [12:38] tga: that way you will have to remove lot of packages isn't easier to do minimal install and then add what you want [12:38] indus, what to add to lspci to get graphoc card name alone ? [12:38] ActionParsnip1: i am still unsure how to remove treh ubuntuce package can you help [12:38] krishna1: nothing just lspci | grep vga [12:38] zvacet: you're missing my point, what I want is precisely a minimal install, starting with the desktop cd [12:39] no reason to have to download packages if I already have them on cd [12:39] meowbuntuce: the package is a metapackage, you will have to check its contents and remove them if they have in fact being installed. persoanlly I dont think they have due to the dependancy mess [12:39] indus, http://paste.ubuntu.com/314052/ [12:39] ActionParsnip1: just a thought could it be a 9,04/9.10 issue not ubuntuCE as such [12:39] i onow when newer versions come out weird things happened [12:39] krishna1: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [12:40] meowbuntuce: not sure, maybe its a mix [12:40] krishna1: try this xrandr --addmode VGA 1440*990 [12:40] tga: do minimal install and add CD in sources list that is another way I don't think there is minimal install opton on live CD [12:40] krishna1: try this xrandr --addmode VGA 1440*900 [12:40] zvacet: yeah, that's too bad [12:41] krishna1: try this xrandr --addmode VGA 1440x900 --rate 60 [12:41] indus, xrandr: cannot find output "VGA" [12:41] krishna1: sorry xrandr --output VGA --mode 1440x900 --rate 60 [12:42] tga: you can not always get waht you want but if you try... [12:42] hi folks. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SkypeRecordingHowto I read about Skype Call Recorder here. does it mean that sources are checked and it's not some phony tool that does bad stuff as well as good stuff?

[12:52] !hi| Laurent-- [12:53] Laurent--: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [12:53] How do I format an external floppy drive? [12:53] sassas: look for a line that ends with "tsched=0" [12:53] it's alwys better if you format your disk...and reinstall ubuntu all over again. [12:53] Laurent--: wow external floppy? [12:53] Laurent--: is ths a zip drive iomega? [12:54] Laurent--: you should have /dev/fd0 if not, run: sudo modprobe floppy [12:54] zvacet: i have tried running with live cd, and everything worked fine. but i really wanted to make the dual OS work for me because its faster. [12:54] /dev/fd0 doesn't work [12:54] isn't there a floppy formatting tool or something? [12:54] Laurent--: what does: dmeg | less -n 10 say when you insert it [12:55] just right clicj and format [12:55] gnome-floppy or somthing? [12:55] !info gnome-floppy [12:55] Package gnome-floppy does not exist in karmic [12:55] !find floppy [12:55] Found: kfloppy, floppyd [12:55] epinky, i cant find it =( [12:55] man, you can right click and format floppies in ubuntu [12:55] I can't format floppy using the standard tool [12:55] ah [12:55] It says: "can't find /dev/fd0" [12:55] sassas: it should be there tsched=0 [12:56] anyone figure out on 9.10 how to fix the choppy audio in vbox? [12:56] that might be the lack of the kernel module or somthing [12:56] Laurent--: try gfloppy in terminal [12:56] I can read/write floppy using /media/disk, but i can't access one using /dev/fdx or /dev/sdx. [12:56] moos3: Not only on vbox, but on real systems too... [12:57] Same error: I don't have the right to access /dev/fd0 [12:57] Laurent--: sudo fdformat /dev/fd0 [12:57] Laurent--: if you run: mount you can see what device the floppy drive is [12:57] epinky, are you sure it should be in the defaul.pa file? [12:57] /dev/sdc [12:58] Laurent--: then replace that in the above command, the device will need to be unmounted first [12:58] Laurent--: fine then use that [12:58] Laurent--: sudo fdformat /dev/sdc1 [12:58] sassas: check also in ~/.pulse/default.pa [12:58] Laurent--: and it will format the floppy as long as you arte sure /dev/sdc1 is the floppy === mi_wird_wahnsinn is now known as mi [12:58] Hi, on Ubuntu 9.10, nautilus 2.28.1, when I put python files in ~/.nautilus/python-extensions or /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/python they don't seem to be executed...... would anyone know what I can do try and figure out why (or am I even on the right track here ?) [12:59] hi [12:59] delfick: are you marking them as executable with: chmod +x file [12:59] how can i start ubuntu 9.10 in console mode evertytime i boot? [12:59] napster: my audio is fine but in Vbox using a softphone for it nuts [12:59] the file /etc/inittab doesnt exist [13:00] I have to say ubuntu 9.10 so far is a FAIL [13:00] Hmm... Still no formatting. [13:00] hello, can I install ubuntu-one *client* on a server installation (i.e. withou Gnome and X) [13:00] But i have to go [13:00] moos3 why?? [13:00] i'm very happy with it [13:00] my desktop computer has two sound cards, and they keep changing order in alsa's setup for each reboot i do, any way to fix this? [13:00] Stuff that worked in 9.04 no longer works [13:01] sassas: do you have this line? load-module module-hal-detect [13:01] and things that didn't work now work [13:01] xrfang: i think if you just install ubuntuone-client it may allow cli access, you'll have to check its dependancies [13:01] moos3, let me doubt, maybe your fault, but anyway, you cant install previous verion [13:01] ok, thanks ActionParsnip1 [13:01] xrfang: there is a seperate ubuntuone-client-gnome package which will no doubt need gnome/x [13:02] ok [13:02] can somebody help me with this problem? http://pastebin.com/d2fee9421 [13:02] ActionParsnip1: it doesn't seem to make a difference [13:02] I think that we have a solution now (with a semi understanding of what's going [13:02] on). [13:02] It seems that the OMAP register handling the backlight brightness gets screwed [13:02] because of some noise. It's totally random, all units are not affected. And if [13:02] the board is removed from the case, the bugs almost doesn't occur any more. [13:02] shiznebit: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:02] There will be a fix in the kernel pushed next week. It won't require any [13:02] Hi [13:02] back [13:02] I've got a question, I installed ubuntu karmic, but i wonder if it's possible to run ubuntu studio next to this distro ? [13:02] moos3: sound sucked for me (xfi) tried for ages to get the distortions/static out but eventually just gave up and went back to jaunty [13:02] Godfather_:This was fresh install and stuff that has worked since 7.0 up until 9.04 worked fine until I did the 9.10 install [13:02] or http://paste.ubuntu.com/314064/ [13:03] thijs: you could just install the apps that studio includes.. [13:03] moos3 what issues have you had [13:03] well, that doesn't go so well... now upgrade-manager does want to upgrade me, but it informs me that jaunty -> karmic requires me to remove 277 packages, and upgrade 6. I am a bit skeptical of those statistics [13:03] Dr_Willis, ok, where do i look those up? [13:03] SetiAmon: I couldn't get vbox work in jaunty for sound, [13:03] to say the least [13:03] can i connect my phone (Nokia 7210 supernova) to internet thru ubuntu by bluetooth? [13:03] thijs: no idea - i dont use studio. Install what apps you need. [13:03] SetiAmon: my keyboard and video card for staters and bluetooth [13:04] they all worked in 9.04 but fail in 9.10 [13:04] is there a place where apt might be munged up in the background that I can clean up somehow? [13:04] Dr_Willis, ok, but i figured i'd try some music editing. However, will go look for a package list then [13:04] moos3:I had a issue with vbox and sound in jaunty,spent awhile but figured it out.what was really hard is to get it to accept usb,my ipod in particular so i could use utorrent and itunes in vbox to set up my ipod.was cool,i killed all that when i installed 9.10, [13:04] thijs: anything studio has - you can install on the normal ubuntu. since the 2 use the same repos/core [13:05] !studio [13:05] UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org [13:05] moos3: what doesnt work [13:05] indus: please above [13:05] moos3 me too, i've recently installed vbox with 9.10, and no sound problem [13:05] is this like a 2 stage upgrader, where at first it removes and upgrades the upgrade program itself? [13:05] how to copy files and keep the owner? [13:05] moos3: what video card [13:05] indus: ati readon HD 2400 XT [13:06] moos3: yeah so is it working now ? [13:06] GodFather_: Like I said fresh install and vbox 3.0.10 and its fail [13:06] also [13:06] moos3: that card works fine in 9.10 with the proprietary drivers [13:07] moos3: also, if it fails, its really a driver issue of the manufacturer [13:07] Dr_Willis, yeah, i found the package list, just figured, i haven't exactly experienced stable usage so far, so i would need to backup my current state === tj83__ is now known as tj83_ [13:07] so... would I be better served by just doing a debian-like edit of my sources.list and then apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade? [13:07] x-fi xtreme music works out of the box but it sucks,distortions,static,doing everything i coudl to fix it didn't work.jaunty fresh installed again and now everything is working [13:07] any advice? [13:07] indus: no correctly, I have to had about 300 lines of code to the driver to get it work on one display my second display doesn't work right [13:07] how to install proprietary drivers in karmic (the cd contains only exe files) [13:07] for webcam [13:07] moos3: 300 lines? which driver [13:07] indus: no it doesn't work with the proprietary drivers when using multiple displays [13:08] the Ati driver [13:08] moos3: yeah thats true [13:08] moos3: you added? what do you mean [13:08] seeker: ive never seen extra webcam drivers just for linux. ch3ck out the !webcam factoid perhaps [13:08] !webcam [13:08] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [13:08] seeker which webcam [13:09] zecom [13:09] yeah Had to add a bunch of hacks to remove 90% of the frame buffer issues that wasn't present in the 9.04 and those lines removed the locking up on the virtual extend display [13:09] sorry - zeebronics [13:09] so do you have a question? [13:10] yes - how to install driver (which is in exe files) in karmic [13:10] seeker what is the output of lsusb === LeNsTR is now known as LeNsTR|away [13:10] seeker in a terminal [13:10] seeker type lsusb [13:11] moos3: so what is the question you have [13:11] hi folks! a question: i have openssh runing nice on my home desktop. What i want to do is to run openssh on startup thru a script. I have been reading some stuf about rc.d and others. I would be glad if someone could explain me what are the rc files, and how can i do it with openssh! (as u can see i am new to linux) [13:11] indus: no my question was about getting smooth sound in vbox [13:11] if anyone has been able to [13:11] ok [13:11] MD-11: if you installed the openssh service from the package manager it should allredy be auto-running at boot time [13:12] moos3: have you tried the latest amd driver btw? [13:12] MD-11, openssh server should already run at boot [13:12] from site [13:12] done - but how do i paste it here [13:12] !paste | seeker [13:12] seeker: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com (or !pastebinit for CLI) | For pasting !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin Please give us the URLs for your posts! [13:12] indus: what for sound? [13:12] it is not copieng [13:12] moos3: amd display [13:12] you may need to isntall openssh-server, not just the client [13:12] indus: yes that one I'm running with my 300 line hack [13:12] moos3: how can you hack the proprietary drivr? [13:13] I decompiled the driver and patched my hack [13:13] indus: theres tools for doing those types of things you know [13:13] moos3: decompiled? a closed source driver? bull [13:13] is there a commandline tool for the server edition to test response time of different mirror locations? === LeNsTR|away is now known as LeNsTR [13:13] yareckon: well i did it , but it doesn't seems like! because when i issue ssh start from the command line it shows that openssh is starting..so if that is correct wouldnt have a reason for ssh restart (if starts , also restarts an already running version) [13:13] I'm purchasing a sheevaplug that is running an Ubuntu 8.04 ARM version ... I'm looking for a USB wifi adapter to use that is likely to work for this setup. Are there any brands that is especially linux friendly? [13:14] moos3: ill believe you anyway [13:14] yareckon: i installed openssh-server [13:14] indus: not bull as its completely possible as thats how about 90% of the opensource drivers are made [13:14] sucker?. [13:14] i have a problem with ubuntu 9.10. whenever i install packages like g++, hardware drivers, the message "Please insert cd ubuntu 9.10.." or something like that.. but when i insert the installation cd (which created a dual OS), it says the same thing.. i can't connect to internet because i cant install the wireless drivers.. can someone help me? [13:14] moos3: without testing with appropriate hardware to reverse engineer, its not possible, also its useless [13:14] indus: that issue isn't the Video anymore [13:15] the problem is the Audio in vbox [13:15] anyways its off topic [13:15] indus: focus on the audio issue with vbox [13:16] #videopimp [13:16] Seeker`: did u paste [13:16] my klamav update option is grayed out ,how can i fix it [13:17] the choppy audio make talking on my cellphone in the middle of no where sound crystal clear [13:17] rd: run the gui as root, or just run the freshclam command to update as root [13:17] Seeker`: copy it there and write yor name, then click send [13:17] Dr_Willis:did them both [13:17] Dr_Willis:did them both, but still its grayed out [13:17] MD-11, you can find out the name of the process that openssh starts by using ps aux | grep [s]sh [13:17] I have a laptop with one hardrive. It has vista 64 and ubuntu 64 on two partitions, same hardrive. I have another machine, mint linux which I want to be a file server. Mint wont talk to ubuntu unless vista is booted on the network. As soon as I connect to ubuntu though the laptop shuts down. Ubuntu wont talk to mint if they are both booted on the network.If I boot Vista, it shows an icon for Mint but labels it as unrecognised.I have a [13:17] laptop with one hardrive. It has vista 64 and ubuntu 64 on two partitions, same hardrive. I have another machine, mint linux which I want to be a file server. Mint wont talk to ubuntu unless vista is booted on the network. As soon as I connect to ubuntu though the laptop shuts down. Ubuntu wont talk to mint if they are both booted on the network.If I boot Vista, it shows an icon for Mint but labels it as unrecognized. [13:18] check to see if the same process is running at boot and after you manually start that service [13:18] rd: could be its up to date [13:18] any ops here? [13:18] Shambat, can I ask you what is it one can do with the sheevaplug? [13:18] yareckon: Ok could you give me also an explanation about the rc.d files? what are them actually? [13:19] Dr_Willis:still shoudnt it have the option to check ? [13:19] the rc files are links to startup scripts in /etc/ini.d/ [13:19] the rc levels are starting up , shutting down and in between [13:19] MD-11: check google for 'sysv init' tutorials :) they are fancy scripts. but ubuntu is slowly changeing over to the UPSTART init systemm [13:19] isn't it all "service start" and the like these days? [13:19] xukun: I'm going to use it to monitor the wifi accessabiloty in our office buildings [13:19] hi to all [13:19] debian / ubuntu don't jhave special meetings to tthe middle levels [13:19] MD-11: so a lot of things in the sysv guides/tutorials dont always apply to ubuntu [13:20] when in doubt use the 'service' command - yes lupine_85 [13:20] :) [13:20] plz help me to find some server to download the applications for ubuntu [13:20] it's totally crazy [13:20] naser: you mean your package manager is not working right? [13:20] naser: all applications are available from add/remove [13:20] lupine_85: I find the service command easier to rembner/use : the /etc/init.d/somthing [13:21] yeah, we are in the middle of tossing that system out, so it is of great value to learn it deeply today, but maybe not soon [13:21] its work i wanna find some applications for my ubunto like codecs [13:21] I guess it's a case of what you're used to [13:21] for my player === unix is now known as Guest37367 [13:21] naser: its also auto download [13:21] naser: just run a file and it will find codecs for u [13:21] not working download [13:21] xmalestine: are you using wifi? [13:21] yes [13:21] naser: what do you mean not working [13:21] naser, the package is ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:21] malestine: are you using wifi? [13:21] lupine_85: the service command works with the services using upstart or the ones using the older sysv. and its been in ubuntu for at least the last 2 releases.

I need to use setxkbmap everytime I login and also everytime I switch to the console. How can I set my keyboard variant permanently now? [13:28] Help, anyone: Multiseat in Karmic? [13:28] tom___, well opening nautilus with sudo is not going to make it open that way all th e time when you go to Places/Home does it also not use the gtk2 theme? [13:28] philsf: i noticed a setting for that on the GDM login..but ive never used it. :) that may be just for gdm [13:28] hi all i am using ubuntu karmic . While I mount my windows partitions it create a folder with strange name like 'AB090940HHG6767' in /media. In jaunty it was fine with creating a folder with name 'disk-1' . But karmic create folder with strange long name. Please help me to solve it [13:29] coz_: you mean when i open a folder via "places/home? " yepp.. i have the same problem there with nautilus not using the gtk2 theme [13:29] aneesh1: thatsz using the UUID of the drive/filesystem [13:29] Dr_Willis, setting in etc/console-setup used to be a unified way of configuring the keyboard for both the console and X [13:29] from a default Karmic install, where is the xorg.conf file stored? [13:29] aneesh1: add a proper fstab entry to mount it elsewhere [13:29] Dr_Willis, or so I thought [13:29] malestine: I had to go, sorry [13:30] philsf: no idea i never have to mess with that [13:30] Is there any way to install alsa without "brltty" dependency?

[13:31] coz_: it used to work in the beginning though... [13:31] Dr_Willis: I need to show my windows partitions as separate drives when i click computer icon on the desktop. is there any way for that? [13:31] foxy: i had a look there, but to no avail! [13:31] tom___, yikes ....even after a reboot this continues to occur? [13:32] tom___, or even a restart of x [13:32] coz_: that's right :) [13:32] fasteddie: sure you typed X and not x ? [13:32] i re-installed xubuntu due to my problem with static IP, and i can't see again my NTFS partitions; which was the things i had to install? ntfs-3g and ntfs-configuration???? from terminal or sypnatic or packages normal program?

[13:36] the Gtk1.2 was discontinued [13:36] Phurl: but is there a gtk2 package in ubuntu repos for perl [13:36] Phurl: use gNs [13:36] yo yo yo [13:36] fasteddie: try "locate xorg.conf" [13:36] ikonia, but the other tools all use gtk [13:36] and they dont work [13:36] Dr_Willis, before i re-installed xubuntu i could see them; i had something in settings like "tool configuration NTFS"; i don't have windows in my computer, just Xubuntu [13:37] Seeker`: hello?

[13:38] Dr_Willis, can't you tell the command please [13:38] leaving irc makes you safer> [13:38] noo [13:38] ntfs-config appears in the menu as something like "NTFS configuration tool" [13:38] messiah: the command IS 'ntfs-config' [13:38] i want to mount a nfs with the option "no_root_squash" where should i put that option? cant find anything usefull mount -t nfs ip /media/nas [13:38] in bulk user upload, what is the syntax for the file to be uploaded?

[13:39] Phurl: heroid please stop messing around [13:39] coz_: yepp everything is working using a clean home directory... and I found out somethingelse that#s rather funny: if I use nautilus with sudo it uses my gtk2 theme (the human defualt theme...) [13:39] llutz: no other way? [13:39] ok sorry [13:39] can someone help me about a script init.d [13:39] http://pastebin.com/m1fc61da6 [13:39] tom___, out of curiosity ....did you use your jaunty home directory for this install? [13:39] iceroot: since it's a server-option, no (afaik) [13:40] Hi all, I've a Sun-X4150 running hardy. Prob is I've found a PCI-Passthrough bug with my SCSI-adaptor which is used in my BackupPC DomU to connect to the tape... Now I'ld like to test the karmic xen kernel but can't find it... [13:40] Dr_Willis, what is the name of the package of "GParted"? [13:40] that's right coz_ ... although I tried to delete all hidden configuration files with a "." in the beginning to "simulate" a clean install [13:40] ikonia, no messing around. this is for real. when i registered my nick it told me : 1 failed login since last login. Last failed attempt from: heroid!n=heroid@213.163.116.66 on Nov 09 13:06:15 2009 [13:40] fasteddie: a new install of karmic won't have a xorg.conf http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1221226 [13:40] llutz: ok, thx [13:40] tom___, ok this makes sense now... [13:40] Phurl: talk to freenode in #freenode then [13:40] anyone know why apt would be freaking out on me and not recognizing that there are karmic packages newer than my jaunty packages duing an upgrade? [13:40] After update to 9.10, i'm getting [Kernel Panic: unable to mount...] with new 2.6.31-14-generic kernel, but old "2.6.28-16-generic" works well. UUID for both kernels are same in /boot/grub/menu.lst [13:40] take deskbar-applet [13:41] yes i should use tork for my Pranks [13:41] tom___, yes apparenlty here also when running nautilus with sudo it does indeed use the gtk2 theme [13:41] paissad_: I'm not familiar _at all_ with shell scripts, but that's the first time you stop using " for those variables [13:41] llutz: but /etc/exports gives the option for my client? the server is a icy box, so i can put the option in /etc/exports and mount from the icy box with no_root_squash? [13:41] i made an shscript and using a keyshortcut i wanna call it. whats the command ?? [13:41] synaptic apt and upgrade manager think that 2.26 is both the isntalled and is the newest available [13:41] tom___, the theme must also be located in the root/themes folder as well [13:41] coz_: do you know where the configuration files of nautilus are located? maybe it helps if I just delete them.. [13:41] i mean is there a command that takes a command, runs it in a terminal, and closes it again? [13:41] clearscreen, which variables ? [13:41] but if you look in packages.gz or use apt-cache showpkg, I can see that 2.28 is actually in karmic [13:42] clearscreen, and why ? [13:42] paissad_: "...--chdir "$CONFIG_DIR" --exec $DAEMON $OPTIONS" [13:42] iceroot: you have to put it into export of your icy-box [13:42] why is the calculation of upgrade weirding out? [13:42] yareckon: apt-cache policy shows...? [13:42] hi, I like to play ape-files with totem [13:42] tom___, well.. if you really wanted to reset everything I would go with sudo rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity then restart X [13:42] llutz: hm, i dont know if there is something like that, only found a web-interface [13:42] tom___, understand that is going to reset everything to defaults [13:42] paissad_: as I said, I have no experience with shell scripts, but I'm seeing a lack of coherence between those two usages of variables [13:42] seems that there is no appropiate plugin or codec. Any ideas ? [13:42] hi [13:42] clearscreen, ok [13:42] arg!!! [13:43] Dr_Willis, would you advice me to install wicd and delete NM? [13:43] thanks lupine [13:43] hudo, try either mplayer or vlc [13:43] :) [13:43] iceroot: no ssh-access? [13:43] wrong Lupine [13:43] never again [13:43] that guy needs to change his nic ;) [13:43] how long should the ubuntu 9.10 installation take? it took me 20 minutes before it said "resize operation failure" [13:43] llutz, would you advice me to install wicd and delete NM? [13:43] paissad_: (in other words, I *think* but i am not *sure* that you should put quotes around $DAEMON and $OPTIONS) [13:43] jeeeeu [13:43] heeeey* [13:44] Tartaros :) [13:44] I've been lupine_85 since 2001 [13:44] messiah: i have no issues with network manager, and wicd also worked for me last i tried it. === Guest29648 is now known as Lint [13:44] :p [13:44] not since 85? === Lint is now known as Lint01 [13:44] clearscreen, everything's ok now, i 've just added -- before $OPTIONS [13:44] I've been Lupine since 1999 [13:44] nah, I was born then [13:44] messiah: wicd? no clue about that. use ifupdown and be happy [13:44] paissad_: ok :) nevermind what I said then :P [13:44] !ot [13:44] coz_: hmm..... and there is nothing nautilus-specific? to reset just nautilus itself? [13:44] born in 76 [13:44] I win [13:44] * lupine_85 stubbornly keeps his [13:44] Dr_Willis, you use the two of them? [13:44] i made an shscript and using a keyshortcut i wanna call it. whats the command that takes a command and runs it in a terminal without opening one? [13:44] CapeFear: resizeing is not even starting the install process.. I alwyas resize the windows partitions uxing windows tools myself. [13:44] llutz: no :( [13:44] I've just installed Ubuntu but I have no login manager [13:44] llutz, i have tryed many things and i can't have my static IP [13:44] clearscreen, what you said was good too, ... "" are for preserving spaces [13:44] hi [13:45] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [13:45] messiah: ive USED both.. I have no need for wicd [13:45] Dr_Willis, so you create space for ubuntu under windows? [13:45] i'm trying to make a usb HDD a bootable live cd, not a usb pen drive [13:45] (L)upine should have case sensitive irc watching on :) [13:45] * lupine_85 uses wicd over NM because it works for him, whereas NM tends not to [13:45] hadean: visit #bash [13:45] i have the usb pen drive creatad with usb creator [13:45] messiah: deactivate nm, setup your /etc/network/interfaces, done (man 5 interfaces) [13:45] CapeFear: i resze the hard drive and leave part UNALLOCATED thats where i let the ubuntu installer install to/partition [13:45] foxy: Thanks! I read about the Xorg -configure option, and tried it, but was just curious if it existed by default. Cheers [13:46] how can I find which usb port a device is plugged into? [13:46] llutz, i did that, and worked until i turn off my computer; when i turn on my comptuer it becomes reset [13:46] is there a way to copy my usb pen drive exactly the same on my usb hard disk [13:46] beachdaze: lsusb will give you a bus:port:etc identifier - it's not too helpful [13:46] llutz, and i lose my changes, i mean, i don't have itnernet when i turn it on, and i have to delete what i wrote there [13:46] messiah: then you havent deactivated nm [13:46] Dr_Willis: when you install ubuntu this way (resizing the partitions under windows), can you do it automatically? [13:46] llutz lol, how can i desactivate it? [13:46] do someone understand ? [13:46] llutz, maybe that is the key! :D [13:46] I've just installed Ubuntu but I have no login manager, what happening?! [13:46] messiah: apt-get remove it [13:46] lupine_85, /sbin/lsusb is empty. has it moved in 9.10? [13:47] CapeFear: Ubuntu can automatically partiion the unallocated space as needed making a / and swap partitions [13:47] cause i've tried to copy past but it doesn't boot on the usb hard disk [13:47] llutz, i did that, and i lost forever my connection for internet, because of that i re-installed xubuntu [13:47] beachdaze: /usr/sbin/lsusb is an executable you run [13:47] i may have to make it bootable [13:47] Dr_Willis great... could you please point me to the program that you use for resizing? === lao5 is now known as ^0_O^ [13:47] CapeFear: vista has one built in [13:47] messiah: ifupdown works since ages and is well documented. it will work for you too [13:47] lupine_85, OH..thanks [13:47] Dr_Willis i'm on xp pro s [13:47] pro se* [13:47] ifupdown has some naaaasty bugs [13:47] llutz, i really did that by many tutos [13:48] more than good enough for wired networking though [13:48] messiah: maybe make sure to have a configured interfaces-file before removing nm === ^0_O^ is now known as lao5 [13:48] is someone following what i'm saying ? [13:48] I've just installed Ubuntu but I have no login manager, how to fix it dammit [13:48] lupine_85: less bugs than nm [13:48] I'd not like to get counting [13:49] I'm trying to install php5-cli but get this error: php5-mysql: Depends: php5-common (= 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6) but 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6.1 is to be installed. libapache2-mod-php5: Depends: php5-common (= 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6) but 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6.1 is to be installed [13:49] Lint01, you could try not swearing, but apt-get install gdm *may* help [13:49] ifupdown isn't even actively maintained in debian any more - and they depend on it. maintainer seems to have gone AWOL [13:49] i have a problem with ubuntu 9.10. whenever i install packages like g++, hardware drivers, the message "Please insert cd ubuntu 9.10.." or something like that.. but when i insert the installation cd (which created a dual OS), it says the same thing.. i can't connect to internet because i cant install the wireless drivers.. can someone help me? [13:49] php5-cli seems to use another version of php than LAMP does. What to do? [13:50] batang_g, I'm having a flashback [13:50] batang_g how about removing the cd part from sources.list [13:50] How can I downgrade to a lower version of notify-osd in Karmic? [13:50] the search feature in ubuntu doesn't work right... it doesn't find things I know exists. What's the simple command to use in terminal that would be like dos dir /s filename.file [13:50] someone told you to uncheck the cd option in your software sources [13:50] is there a seperate channel for Ubuntu ARM? [13:50] Dr_Willis what's the name of the resize program on vista? [13:51] ariqs: the locate command uses a database that gets regenerated every day [13:51] I've installed this karmic shit, but neither gdm not kdm are working, WTF?! [13:51] hi all. I am trying to share two folders between two machines running Ubuntu on the same network. Could someone explain to me how it is done? I am sure I am missing the obvious. [13:51] ariqs: find | grep -i file [13:51] batang_g check the device which should hold the cd maybe the link changed... [13:51] ariqs: use the updatedb command to force it to update [13:51] trasktrojanek: you should be able to install a different major version alongside the minor one. otherwise, if it's still available, apt-get install = [13:51] Lint01, watch the language [13:51] s/minor/current/ [13:51] thankyou Dr_Willis, Ben64 [13:51] you probly selected loging automaticly [13:51] ! [13:52] please what makes a usb hard disk bootable as a live cd ? [13:52] hi all. q: is there an easy way to make gui to a console app? [13:52] i thought the file would be enough [13:52] can't someone listen to me it makes 3 hours i'm on it [13:52] jacquesdupontd: use unetbootin, or usb-disk-creator, or inzxtall grub2 and make it bootable [13:52] Ubuntu Server + LAMP seem to use an older version of PHP than is avaiable in aptitude. How do I do this? [13:52] jacquesdupontd, that is a compex question [13:52] use unetbootin [13:52] listen to the Dr [13:53] jacquesdupontd: usb-disk-cretor and unetbootin make it easy to make a cd to a live usb drive === jmrodri-gone is now known as jmrodri [13:53] grub2 can also boot iso files :) for some distros [13:53] Dr_Willis, thx i know it and i wouldn't come here if usb-disk-creator would work but they only work for usb pen drive not for usb har disk of 250 gb [13:53] jacquesdupontd: unetbootin can. :) [13:54] jacquesdupontd: i set up grub2 to boot an iso file on my portable 200gb hd - for easy installing [13:54] micro, thanks, i'll try that [13:54] Dr_Willis, i already made a usb pen drive with a live cd of xubuntu .iso and i' would like to exactly copy the file of my pen drive and try to boot then on the hdd [13:54] How about xen3.4 in karmic is it available via? apt [13:54] jacquesdupontd: try the dd command i guess.. but that will be goofy. [13:54] !info xen [13:54] jacquesdupontd: hi [13:54] Package xen does not exist in karmic [13:55] i was just looking for you [13:55] !info xen [13:55] Package xen does not exist in karmic [13:55] jacquesdupontd: or read up on syslinux, and copy all files to the HD. and run syslinux on it to make it bootable [13:55] Dr_Willis, i have the exact files needed on the pen drive that works then i just need it to be bootable, you know i don't think grub is installed on the pendrive even [13:55] Hi all again. I was suddenly out, but shall repeat my question: is there an easy way to make a front-end application (simply a gui) to a console utility? [13:55] lupine_85, thanks, that fixed it. [13:55] ok [13:55] info xen [13:55] jacquesdupontd: use grub or syslinux to make it bootable and make proper config files to boot it [13:55] Dr_Willis, how to run syslinux on it ? [13:55] anyone with a radeon 4670 ? [13:55] link looks cool, though I don't like most of its choices for distros (backtrack was the only one I cared for on first glance) [13:55] What is the difference between ubuntu 9.04 and mint linux 7? [13:56] jacquesdupontd: with the syslinux command and th eproper options. Read up on syslinux - its worth learning all about [13:56] malestine: preinstalled common packages that usually you'll install later [13:56] malestine, lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [13:56] damn it, Actionparsnip1 how can I see the inof's you mentioned... [13:56] lupine_85, do you know how I might find past versions? I'm trying notify-osd=0.9.9-0ubuntu1 and many variations thereof, using the same number, but still can't get it. [13:56] mc_scRAT: tcl/tk [13:56] trasktrojanek: they'll be in previous release package repos [13:56] you're probably trying to do something broken though [13:56] can any-fscking-one tell me why the hell login manager is broken in karmic damned release CD [13:57] !language | Lint01 [13:57] Lint01: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [13:57] Lint01: its not broken on the 5+ installs ive done. [13:57] hey guys, trying to upgrade my workstation to Karmic, but it doesn't see the new release, no matter what I try [13:57] how would I force an upgrade? [13:57] Lint01: You need to provide more information, what entails 'broken' on your computer? [13:57] hell 'n damnation is very family-friendly... according to the established church ;) [13:57] malestine: in ubuntu there's no proprietary things a la video and mp3 support out-of-the-box (but there is all of it in repo), menu in Mint 7 is a little different - SuSe alike. some tweaks [13:57] but yes, works for me too [13:57] Dr_Willis, no problem but for now i'm trying ubebootin didn't thought it could work better than usb-creator [13:58] TuxWork: sed 's/hardy/karmic/g' /etc/apt/sources.list > /etc/apt/sources.list.karmic [13:58] lupine_85, is there a way I can install 0.9.11 from source and not have to remove the karmic version (thus getting rid of ubuntu-desktop, etc.)? [13:58] jacquesdupontd: they both just install syslinux to make the disk bootable, and copy over the files.. and make a syslinux.cfg file [13:58] mirco, last time I tried something like that, it b0rked my system. [13:58] jacquesdupontd: once ya learn how syslinux works you can do the job by hand. :) [13:58] Dr_Willis, but i'm always impressed how fast is UNEtboootin compared to usb-creator, it takes like 1 minutes to copy files, is it normal ? [13:58] trasktrojanek: what's wrong with 0.9.24 ? [13:59] TuxWork: 1 our ago this worked for me, and don't worry it keeps the old file.. [13:59] you /could/ put a different version in /usr/local, but it's probably more trouble than it's worth [13:59] jacquesdupontd: the making of the persistant save file takes a long time.. the actual install is just copying over 700mb of files. [13:59] Dr_Willis, anyway i had previewed to read about syslinux [13:59] lupine_85, I can't stand the fixed slot-allocation. [13:59] heh [13:59] mirco, okay then [13:59] TuxWork: What version of Ubuntu are you using currently? [13:59] Pici, Jaunty [13:59] well, if it's for cosmetic reasons, go for it [13:59] 64bit [13:59] TuxWork: And what have you tried to do in order to get it to upgrade? === Mike is now known as Guest20072 [13:59] how can i use usplash in karmic? [13:59] jacquesdupontd: anyway thanks for the link [13:59] so you should exchange hardy withj jaunty in the cmd .. [14:00] Dr_Willis, understood but last time i tried on my usb pen drive it didn't worked with unetbootin as it was working perfectly with usb-creator [14:00] lupine_85, how might I "go for it" without breaking ubuntu-desktop, etc.? [14:00] usplash_write does not do anything [14:00] mirco: TuxWork that upgrade method and specially *skipping* versions is specifically *not* *supported* [14:00] can ubuntu jaunty be installed in windows? like 9.10 using wubi? [14:00] Dr_Willis, thx a lot i'm gonna try that [14:00] DigitalKiwi, thanks for wich link ? oh the last link yeah [14:00] which are the best video codecs for Ubuntu?

Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed :) [14:31] tcp window scaling [14:31] mnml: sudo lshw -class processor ..that will have x86_64 in there if it does. if that is not there it is 32bit [14:31] read up [14:31] mnml, you can type "cat /proc/cpuinfo" that will give you the instruction set. if you have an intel cpu and see em64t, it's 64bit. [14:31] yareckon: erUSUL well, a router doesn't suddenly stop supporting tcp_window_scaling [14:31] whatever that is [14:31] hi [14:31] jrib : im sorry but your ubottu help doesnt works.. screen resolution always come to default after reboot. [14:31] meindian523, but linux does suddenly start using it [14:32] yareckon: but you dop not need a patch « echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling » is enough ;P [14:32] meindian523, try it [14:32] I know could sound stupid.... but i use Ubuntu(gnome) by default.....that means i cant run a KDE program like amarok, right? [14:32] yareckon: 9.10 started using tcp_window_scaling? [14:32] hey can any1 help me out with a driver issue for vx3000 camera http://pastebin.com/d641c18c2 [14:32] if i create a file as user "foo" what is saved in the file? the username "foo" or the id of the user? so where gets ls -all the information, how is the owner? [14:32] SoleSurvivor2012: you can use kde apps [14:32] meindian523, I remember having this issue in debian about a year ago [14:32] SoleSurvivor2012: it will just download the kde dependencies it needs to run them [14:33] ikonia: THANKS [14:33] meindian523 [14:33] iceroot: numeric ownership [14:33] stupid tab completion [14:33] llutz : how can i create xorg.conf ? [14:33] erUSUL: I need to type "echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling" on my install? [14:33] meindian523: i do not know if that's the issue just ansewring this 15:27 < yareckon> I had an issue ages ago where my router was dropping packets that linux was generating with a certain TTL [14:33] iceroot: from the inode [14:33] jatt: and hwat info? id or usernanme? [14:33] llutz: so you mean the user-id? [14:33] iceroot: yes [14:34] meindian523: if window scaling is the problem then yes that should fix it. but again i do not know if it is [14:34] erUSUL, meindian523, it's possibly a fix [14:34] iceroot: http://pastebin.com/d641c18c2 can u walk me through this issue [14:34] erUSUL: ok, let's try it [14:34] won't hurt anything [14:34] eddym: i dont htink so [14:34] iceroot: ok kind of confusing for me [14:34] #lesswatts [14:34] * meindian523 reboots and tries that command [14:35] meindian523: no need to reboot [14:35] llutz: is there a way to see that info? (to see the user-id is stored for the owner) [14:35] iceroot: copy that file to a system with different usernames, you'll see what happens to the owner/group [14:35] erUSUL: I'm on dual boot and typing on Windows [14:35] meindian523: that takes effect at runtime [14:35] can someone tell me why nor kdm nor gdm are operating? [14:35] meindian523: ahh ok [14:35] erUSUL: I need to reboot === Jeeebus is now known as Jeebus [14:35] iceroot: afaik the inode contains the user id of the owner which is then mapped to a username in userspace [14:35] Lint01: you installed server? [14:35] jatt: is there a way to see the inode? [14:35] scunizi, installed what? [14:35] iceroot: ls -ln [14:36] Lint01: the server version of ubuntu? it doesn't have a gui [14:36] woops [14:36] scunizi, no, it's desktop version, and it even start video mode but login manager dies prematurely [14:37] iceroot: ls -i foo gives you the inode number of foo. Alternatively you can use stat. [14:37] babyshambles: erm, you read his link? [14:37] llutz, jatt: thank you [14:37] iceroot: "stat file" gives you all you want [14:38] jrib : link form the bot? i only copy the cmd line and use it in terminal.. [14:38] *from [14:38] babyshambles: right, he gives you a link that probably contains useful information... [14:39] llutz: and root always have 0? [14:39] llutz: as uid [14:39] iceroot: yes [14:39] llutz: ok [14:39] !fixres [14:39] iceroot: uid 0 = superuser, might have different name (will fail on some tasks) [14:39] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

What is wrong with my settings? I'm using ubuntu 9.04 [14:47] meindian523: :| [14:47] Lint01: what was the exception given?

[14:51] dhalsimm: if i want to DND to window i can not see becouse others are over it i just put the cursosr over the button in the pannel the window i want come too view abd i drop the file [14:51] sampo, my experience with lexmark inl level indicators is that it tries to convince you that the carts are out of ink at 50% , no point , just wait til the colour starts to turn pink or green . [14:52] erUSUL: it is a DND behaviour bug, I think. If you try to drag (a file) from a maximized(m) window to unmaximized one (u), (u) loses focus so it is not possible to drop the file from (m) to (u). You can try it to see.

[14:55] dhalsimm: you are talking about drag and drop multiple files on at a time ? [14:56] yes, the drivers that I did install z605 has an application that shows the level(I suppose shows it correct)...but if there is not in Ubuntu, no prob for me...just curiosity... [14:56] does anyone here know how to disable the prompt that comes up when you try to restart or shutdown your machine that says it will shut down in 60 seconds? [14:56] dhalsimm: now i understand... my unmaxiced window do not loose focus when i DND [14:56] erUSUL: no, I just want to drag a file from a nautilus window, to another nautilus window. But active window loses focus while dragging so it makes a problem when dnd'ing on maximized windows [14:56] dhalsimm: do you have focus follows mouse ? [14:57] erUSUL: no [14:57] dhalsimm, try copy or cut and paste [14:57] sipior, yes, it's fresh install and reinstalling does not help [14:58] BluesKaj: What if I want to drop a subtitle to totem or smt.

You should see a line saying "new usb device..." or some such. Look for "EHCI", that's the USB 2.0 driver [15:25] python_root: amazing how you determined you can't follow it in less than a minute though, impressive [15:25] jrib: my modem is ut300r2u and it shows something else there not like my modem...

They usually have some sort of web interface you can access to setup port forwarding [15:28] and now it works [15:28] erUSUL: yareckon ^ [15:28] hi all [15:28] wow, that is a good one to remember [15:28] llutz: jrib: shows something like CMZ host [15:28] Is there a way to tell "apt-get source" to put the source archives in a different directory than the CWD?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:28] is there a link for a howto on suspend for ubuntu? [15:28] pendrive is usb 2.0 [15:28] ? [15:28] meindian523, ???

[15:29] !upstart [15:29] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.

[15:31] <_teferi_> Hello everyone. Can anyone tell me what __exactly__ happens when I press 'suspend' or 'hibernate' in the logout menu in Karmic? It is still done vie HAL or via DeviceKit? [15:31] nanamin: compiz is normal (unfortunately), you can look at shortcuts in keyboard preferences, or install compizconfig-settings-manager and add some fancy stuff [15:31] python_root: either way, it's a modem/router issue. Your modem probably has a firewall enabled then [15:31] llutz: cant forward my port in that ? [15:31] :( [15:31] bidossessi: nope, doesn't feel rude to me, plus you need to provide more info on your hardware [15:31] nanamin, i get a black screen on resume (nvidia gfx card) [15:31] python_root: read the documentation, i doubt that [15:31] * meindian523 parts [15:31] nicle but i get no prompt in tty1 [15:31] ActionParsnip1: alright. was shift-alt-tab a default option? i seem to remember it working previously [15:31] bidossessi: won't help, it just works here [15:31] bidossessi: i've had that once. also on nvidia. do you get that repeatedly? [15:32] nanamin: likely, not sure though [15:32] python_root: assuming you haven't added some firewall rules after installing ubuntu of course [15:32] nanamin, systematically. incidentally, i dualboot with opensuse where it just works. lappy is a dv6000 with nvidia board and 185-vdpau installed [15:32] !nvidia [15:32] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:33] fasta, i have no issue with acceleration [15:33] bidossessi: i have a dv6000 sitting around, but i dont use it anymore. does yours get really hot too? [15:33] bidossessi, neither had I until I upgraded. [15:33] erUSUL: you still there? I reproduced the bug in a virtual machine, http://yfrog.com/6wdnd1p and http://yfrog.com/j7dnd2p and these are how I do... [15:34] nanamin, it does get hot sometimes. hey it's an oldtimer :) [15:34] jrib: i didnt add any rules [15:34] <_teferi_> wow. a fast paced irc-channel. let me repeat my question - how can I find out what exactly happens when I press 'suspend' or 'hibernate' in logout menu in Karmic. [15:34] bidossessi: mine got so hot it would blister me. i think it got so hot that it desoldered a component because now it only turns on if i have it tilted at a certain angle. i got frustrated so now i have a thinkpad t400 instead [15:34] python_root: k, then it is your router/modem [15:35] jrib: modem [15:35] Godfather_ : I never met this situation [15:35] karmic question: anyone else have the boot progress screen not "pulsing" the circle of friends? On one laptop I have, it works, on a second, it's stays still [15:35] python_root: are you sure your provider doesn't filter? [15:35] _teferi_: by googling for the info? [15:35] hello everyone. I have a problem hosting a server (game saver, HTTP, FTP, any kind of server really). My WAN IP is defferent than the IP reported in whatismyip.com. thats becuase my ISP has a router or something between me and the external IP that shows in that site (or any other that checks IP) how can i set up a server in this situation? [15:35] bidossessi, I see my machine flicker with a very high frequency. [15:35] no [15:35] dhalsimm: ahh ok i see now. is DND from the max window to the min one ... i see what you mean... appart from the solution i gave earlier i see no other way around it [15:36] nanamin, good for you. mine is company-issued. can't change it, have to deal with it. so no idea on why resume just gives me a black screen? [15:36] hey, ideas why my 's' key would stop working in terminals? [15:36] I have never had this with _any_ operating system. How can you release something like this? Not even a working console except in debug mode. [15:36] jrib: can any one set my modem config to port forward ? [15:36] python_root: I don't understand that question [15:36] bidossessi: all i can say is, suspend is buggy for a lot of models :-\ file a bug report? [15:36] erUSUL: so this is a real bug and not from my setting or smt. I'll reopen that [15:36] Godfather_: to gets prompts in the virtual tty's you need to a "getty" process running on each tty. They will enable you to login and run a shell. [15:36] <_teferi_> bronze, it usually points to some forum topics like "My hibernation button doesn't work, etc...". And I can't find smth like 'new features' in Karmic, Always stumble upon alpha3, alpha5 or so. [15:36] bidossessi: how long does the laptop take to start up? is hibernating an acceptable alternative? [15:37] jrib: 117.193.96.69 [15:37] python_root: a modem is a modem is a modem. what you need is a router-feature, your modem doens't have [15:37] eL_pSycHo: you might simply not be able to. Some ISPs put you behind a firewall and do not allow external access back to your computer at all. You need to contact your ISP about that. Tell them you need a "public ip" or publically addressable ip, or some term like that for your company's VPN and see if that gets you any further [15:37] what does this show ? [15:37] bronze i can run a tty by pressing ctrl+alt+f2 f3.. [15:37] python_root: it times out [15:37] but im saying if i can use the tty1 [15:37] i totally forgot and unplugged a usb device (camera) before issuing the umount command. what damage will i have done and is a log kept of the error?

Gnome terminal - frequently the S does not work, right? [15:38] Is it possible to extract a core dump from a .crash file found in /var/crash? [15:38] nanamin, i haven't timed startup, but booting ubuntu is pretty fast comparatively. i just like to use suspend rather than hibernate since it works on my production OS (opensuse) with no tinkering. [15:38] #ubuntu-de [15:38] ajashton: and yet when I use XTerm, the S key works all the time [15:38] And of course, when I use my own kernel, it appears to work.

[15:38] bidossessi: yeah i hear ya. i think filing a bug report is your best option. it's a known problem for a lot of models [15:38] Godfather_: those keys ( ALT-F if not in X ) switch between the Virtual ttys, but do not cause a getty to run on the virtual ttys. [15:38] mbeierl: not just gnome terminal.. konsole & yakuake too [15:38] Godfather_: how about other ttys? [15:38] hey there I wanna compile avr gcc can any body help ? [15:39] Godfather_: somewhere in the upstart "toolage" you need to tell upstart to start a getty on each virtual tty you want active [15:39] I am trying to connect and modify my Sanyo S1. Any suggestions ? [15:39] dhalsimm: well i do not think it is a bug. is spected behavior for me. you may have different expectations though [15:39] :( [15:39] Oh, but that's not all, ladies and gentleman. My touchpad also stopped working. [15:39] hmm one bug i get in 9.10 is that when i try to resize or move a window, sometimes the window goes behind another window. anyone else get this? [15:39] python_root: http://tinyurl.com/yzq6hqm [15:39] nanamin, ah well. win some, loose some :p [15:39] i'm still moving the window around, i just cant see it until i alt-tab twice === r3dhat is now known as redhat|away [15:39] mostafa_: avr microcontroller?

[15:48] Using Ubuntu 9.10, how complex is it to downgrade to 8.10 xserver for 3d on my ati (mobility x300). Also, will this cause an issue with packages in 9.10 [15:48] I find most of the reactions very silly. If you say you "update the system", upgrade it or say you don't support it.

I usually keep /boot as a very small partition which makes it easy to spot amongst all the others. [15:49] iceroot: there is a required, explicit posix acl option that is needed. I forget off the top of my head... gimme a minute or two... [15:49] thanks ubottu/Plugh! I'll see what I can do.

[15:50] ssh: connect to host 10.0.0.3 port 22: Connection refused [15:50] python_root: redirects to club-open-source.blogsport.com [15:50] mbeierl: thank you, atm i am using this (output of mount) //10.200.22.175/backup on /media/nas/backup type cifs (rw,mand) [15:50] is there something I have to enable or something? [15:50] ssh server? [15:50] bidossessi, then don't advertise it is for human beings. [15:50] anyone here have any success installing Ubuntu as dual boot on a mac pro? [15:50] thanks Plugh [15:50] bidossessi, adverstise it as a piece of shit that needs lots of work to get it working. [15:50] ZanQdo: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [15:50] I never ever had these problems with Debian. [15:50] ZanQdo, check the status of your ssh server, check for firewall blocking port 22 [15:50] Rob235: yw [15:50] I have tried following everything I can however rEFIt shows Ubuntu as a Legacy OS and when I boot it goes to grub. I thought rEFIt was my boot manager :) [15:51] ZanQdo: try ssh localhost on the server to check if a firewall is blocking something [15:51] fasta: this channel is for support. If you want help, ask your question. Move other discussions elsewhere. [15:51] ok [15:51] !language | fasta [15:51] fasta: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [15:51] Rob235: Shows how having patience can help around here. About half hour after asking a question, you get an answer. :-) [15:51] iceroot: it says conection refused [15:51] haha yea, i almost gave up :) [15:52] brb gotta log out and back in to make sure the changes worked [15:52] why Gnome is hardcoded to use Evolution? it's kinda retarded [15:52] can abd help me to find a multimessanger in which i can view the invisible buddy as well [15:52] Lint, it's not hardcoded. you can use whatever you want [15:52] jrib, the question was why a very common configuration: x86 laptop with nvidia graphics card doesn't upgrade correctly. [15:52] iceroot: I would like to disable the firewall for now [15:53] Using Ubuntu 9.10, how complex is it to downgrade to 8.10 xserver for 3d on my ati (mobility x300). Also, will this cause an issue with packages in 9.10 [15:53] niceeeeeeeee [15:53] Muskokas: hope it helps: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [15:53] fasta: I don't really care what the question was. I'm just telling you to move your whining/ranting elsewhere. It's counter-productive here [15:53] fasta, worng the question is "why does it work for others and not for me", eg: what's different on my system [15:53] jcrawford, rEFIt is a EFI boot manager. it loads BIOS based OSes, which usually includes the BIOS based boot manager. === NiSoOo is now known as Guest22869 [15:53] hello, somebody knows about ipod touch on ubuntu? [15:53] fasta: anyway, regarding your question. You said you were using your own kernel? [15:53] jrib, I were before, and if I use it now it also works. [15:53] bidossessi, when I'm trying to remove Evolution, it's going to remove gnome-panel. I think it's something that 'hardceded' means [15:54] magdato, i hear rhythmbox supports ipods [15:54] jrib, but I started the Ubuntu kernel. [15:54] fasta: I used to use Fedora. They always seem to recommend a fresh install over updating to new releases of the distro. I did one update from an old Ubuntu to a newer one once with little problem. The Ubuntu update process may not be perfect but its a lot better than some other distros that left you with many broken things after updating. [15:54] fasta: does the issue exist on a live cd? [15:54] iceroot: ok I just needed to install the ssh server [15:54] :) [15:54] The problem is fairly obvious. It's the nvidia driver that shouldn't get loaded on this system. [15:54] worked, thanks again Plugh [15:54] I see loading nvidia driver and the flicker begins. [15:54] Lint, evolution integrates with the calendar app on the bar. but you can always ignore it and use whatever you choose. [15:54] Rob235: Ok, good. [15:55] Still, it's Ubuntu's fault for allowing it to run in the first place. [15:55] fasta: ubuntu won't use the nvidia driver unless you tell it to [15:55] Hi all, I'm having problems setting up secured wired connection on 9.10. No matter what info I fill in - "Apply" button is always disabled. It enables as soon as I uncheck "Use 802.1X security" === healer is now known as Shell [15:55] fasta, ubuntu doesn't install nvidia drivers by default [15:55] jrib, if you used it on a working system and then upgrade it will. [15:55] fasta: sure [15:55] All this "clean install"/install from a CD stuff is INSANE. [15:55] fasta, its life and living with Linux. Some packages may fail on some hardware. You have to expect (I do at least) some problems now and then. [15:56] mbeierl: solved my problem. bad option in ~/.inputrc. I was messing with another distro on the weekend & accidentally wrote some stuff to my main ubuntu home folder. [15:56] Build a real OS, please. [15:56] fasta, which is my case, and i have no issue with nvidia nor flickering. === Shell is now known as healer [15:56] ZanQdo: :) [15:56] ah well [15:56] bidossessi, thx [15:56] Lint: the dep is bothering :) [15:56] My biggest issue with Karmic is with sound and Pulse Audio. [15:56] please ignore that troll.. [15:56] hi, just installed xubuntu on a laptop with a partitioned hdd (partitioned in 2 parts) now it only sees the partion on which xubuntu's installed. i checked the dimensions and it didnt melt them together, the 2nd partition simply disappeared... help? [15:56] how do i move guake to the top of the screen? [15:57] is anyone having problems with lock version? (tried aptitude hold package and locked via synaptic and the update manager still is being mean) [15:57] Is there a package I can install to administer (via GUI) which sound files get played for various events on a Gnome based desktop? [15:58] Plugh: there used to be system -> preferences -> sound, does that no longer work? [15:58] ack... rl... brb [15:58] Using Ubuntu 9.10, how complex is it to downgrade to 8.10 xserver for 3d on my ati (mobility x300). Also, will this cause an issue with packages in 9.10 . Other case scenario can the open source driver be given parameters to enable 3d. [15:58] IpSe_DiXiT, ubuntu won't mount the second partition unless you tell it to. look in nautilus. you should see an icon indicating an unmounted partition (30 GB Media, or something like that.) [15:58] hi. where to change gksudo password cache timeout? [15:58] !downgrade | ghost_ibex [15:58] ghost_ibex: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [15:58] If you search Google, you would see that for this problem a solution has been known for over more than a week. So, why not just fix the damn package?

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10, and something went wrong with my Java performance - animations became sluggish in a certain game (Puzzle Pirates). Any idea what might have gone wrong? [15:59] jrib, I already reported more bugs than most people. Don't assume I didn't. [15:59] bidossessi: thanks but i knew that already, and i also checked in "system monitor" the partition is not there at all [15:59] I know it's not supported jrib, I would just like 3d on my now "outdated" drivers [16:00] 8) === z is now known as Guest82519 [16:00] ghost_ibex, 3d with open-source "driver" is sh*t [16:00] fasta: you should report the one bug you just talked about, and include the fix now that you know it. That's the proper way to ask for the package to be fixed [16:00] Lint: I know LOL such a pain, ever since the xserver upgrade. [16:01] ghost_ibex: I don't know much about ati or how to deal with the outdated drivers. Checked the wiki? [16:01] !ati > ghost_ibex [16:01] ghost_ibex, please see my private message [16:01] And of course add-apt-repository doesn't work. Probably, because it has no proxy support. [16:02] I love Ubuntu!

[16:03] Pici, no, it's only a channel to say how great Ubuntu is, while it is not. [16:03] Has anyone tried Dell's 9.04 distro? [16:03] If it works, it is great.

[16:04] I want to edit the grub menu [16:04] I installed Dell's 9.04 distro onto my Dell Mini 10, but I did the custom installation and it didn't give me any of Dell's interesting GUI tweaks. I kind of wanted to see them in action. [16:04] Ok, so, please tell me, how do I exit add-apt-repository to return to the shell without rebooting? [16:05] fasta, kill the process? [16:05] ZanQdo, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [16:05] bidossessi, ah, you mean with the other shell I don't have? [16:05] fasta: ctrl-\ ?

[16:09] jrib: Indeed it used to be, I know Jaunty didn't have it either. [16:09] okay thats why when I did the apt-get install tor it didnt work [16:09] jrib: tor had been taken out long time ago, own repo now [16:10] llutz: I see [16:10] does it matter if i use cifs or nfs, for using hardlinks? the server is using ext3 and i want to access ther server with cifs or nfs [16:10] astechgeek: my mistake [16:10] xeer, i don't think conky's meant to be used with gnome, but wdik. xfce is a lighter alternative.

[16:11] iceroot, cifs = samba/windows, nfs = linux, ymmv [16:11] I give up on karmic :( Ive fixed sound to bearable, but 2 problems persist.. thunderbird really lags wen moving the window or minimise/maximise and causes xorg cpu usage to spiral. FF stutters and lags like hell when scrolling the page a video is playing on. no such symptoms in jaunty. anyone else got this? [16:11] xeer: conky only has psuedo-transparency. so it only redraws the background and doesn't show the true desktop. [16:11] duffydack: That could be your graphics card driver.

BUT, this brakes my Asterix telephony right away (sound becomes choppy). Question is: will pci=noacpi work the same as acpi=off for a PCI ethernet card? [16:12] anyone know a good way to throttle upgrade manager to prevent it from consuming all my bandwidth during upgrade from an alternate install cd [16:12] bidossessi: the harddisk is using ext3 which i access through cifs or nfs [16:12] fahadsadah, maybe, but its same radeon builtin driver i`m using in jaunty (I have the xorg ppa). Compiz is slick like it is in jaunty tho..its only those 2 apps [16:12] astechgeek: oh but http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org has karmic repos so just read the top of my last link :) [16:12] lol @ 2 copies of synaptic cannot run together [16:12] I have all the dependencies [16:13] ----> Hi, can anyone help me compile RT61 driver on karmic? (It gives this output when I try: http://paste.ubuntu.com/314187/ ) [16:13] iceroot, hardlinks on network resources is generally a bad idea in my experience, unless you really trust your network to be failure-proof [16:13] trickle doesn't work... perhaps because of upgrade-manager running as root [16:13] okay thanks checking it out now [16:13] bidossessi: hm, i trust rsync :) [16:13] I'm not sure whether this is a question about casper or ubiquity or something else. At the weekend I was somewhere where I thought there'd be wifi but there wasn't and my laptop was useless. So I followed the instructions at http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-in-windows/ for putting Karmic on a USB key and booting it persistently. Worked great on a wired WinXP box and I was able to get some work done. The only odd thing [16:13] is that, although all my changes are stored, it insists on logging in automatically as the ubuntu user and I have to logout and login as my proper user. Changes made to Administration --> Login Screen are ignored. Is there any way round this? [16:13] iansealy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:13] It appears that even my network stopped working. [16:13] fox123: karmic already has it, why do you compile yourself? [16:13] duffydack: If that's a clean install :( if it's an upgrade from 9.04, well many people got problems [16:13] lukethefluke: Ah, just checked. [16:13] I do have /etc/php5 [16:13] sebsebseb, I never waste my time on upgrades. [16:13] Sorry, didn't know that.

[16:17] adamot: yes UPS [16:17] what am i doing wrong? [16:17] python_root: they have free accounts [16:17] soreau, I dont see it making a difference, gfx performance in karmic isnt an issue, only certain aspects of FF and now thunderbird...

[16:23] Top tip for security: Install DOS, nobody will suspect a thing :D [16:23] From my understanding you have MAC running Vista, Linux and MAC OS X running on same HDD? Nanoi [16:23] the problem is, when i use vista, the disk is not visible to me [16:23] soreau: i understand how compiz works, but i'm sure that multiple rows worked for me without compiz being enabled(appearance on none).

[16:25] fasta, depends on how you get an ip (wpa_supplicant/ ifup/ etc...) [16:25] Okay. So you have one HDD or several drives? [16:25] with GParted, i formatted it NTFS [16:25] is it possible to change cursor theme without relogging when using compiz? [16:25] bidossessi, it is just age old ethernet.

[16:26] fox123, Sorry then I do not know what the problem is. [16:26] Actually Linux partition tend to use Ext4,3,2 [16:26] fasta: This is only true for a (wired) lan [16:26] yeah i know [16:26] may it be that this driver doesn't support this new kernel? [16:26] ahox, and it is a wired lan. [16:26] So try that out and see if you can remove NTFS [16:26] soreau: please share the secret with me! :) [16:26] Mount point tend to be / [16:26] fasta, what does 'route' say? [16:26] JerVA: i wanted to get rid of the linux' so i wanted it back to windows [16:27] Okay. Do you have the System Recovery CD for your Windows? [16:27] Nano1, hardly the place to make such requests [16:27] stick with linux dude :P [16:27] Or... [16:27] You can use Ubuntu in other drive [16:27] bidossessi: haha, yes i know :D [16:27] you don't need to remove Linux in case if you want to try again later [16:27] after i install ubuntu as a guest in vmware it cannot connect to the network...even though during the installation it was able to successfully auto configure the network adapter...anyone know what the issue could be? [16:27] vadviktor1: Probably somewhere in sys>prefs>mouse or wherever you set the mouse theme [16:27] gotta bounce. see yall [16:27] bidossessi, I cannot test it now obviously. [16:27] no but the main thing is that i want my disk usable again [16:27] bidossessi : bye [16:28] why are u leaving ubuntu come on :P [16:28] How to install winrar in ubuntu [16:28] fasta: 'ip a' do you have an ip address at all?

[16:28] #freenode [16:28] GParted is also on the live cd [16:29] kishore: apt-get install unrar, and then the default archive unpacking tool can unrar files. === r_ is now known as Guest3313 [16:29] bidossessi, I will do those steps after I installed the new nvidia driver. But for that I need to add the ppa, but the apt-add-* command didn't complete. [16:29] Nanol - Did you unmount Linux and Windows ? [16:29] Hey guys, does anybody know when the next SuperOS (based on Ubuntu 9.10) due for release? [16:29] what is everyones opinion on installing a windows virtual machine on a ubuntu base, probably using Sun virtual? [16:29] bidossessi, one problem at a time. [16:29] Sometimes if you didn't unmount the partition GParted will not detect OS there [16:29] I've had that problem months ago [16:29] kishore: The short answer is that you don't. Winrar would be for windows. In Ubuntu you would install the rar and unrar packages. [16:30] Cool_GUY - yes i maybe want to, but my first concern is that i have my disk up and running again... how can i do that? because GParted obviously doesn't work too well [16:30] kishore: Those are command line tools. Not sure what the package name is for a GUI front end to rar === vadviktor1 is now known as vadviktor [16:30] hi, im trying to get tcl 8.5 into a jaunty, do i have to do crazy pinmagic now? === Cool_GUY is now known as Cool_AWAY [16:31] tcl 8.5 is stable in lenny ... [16:31] after i install ubuntu as a guest in vmware it cannot connect to the network...even though during the installation it was able to successfully auto configure the network adapter...the virtual adapter is setup as bridging...anyone know what the issue could be? [16:31] Jerva: i did unmount it yes, because i used the live GPARTED CD, it's unmounted automatically [16:31] Ah, ok. If I don't use the silly tools, it does seem to work.

I am using ubuntu 9.10. [16:32] kishore, there is a package called xarchiver which states that it is a GTK+ frontend for most used compression formats. So the rar and unrar packages plus xarchiver should give you something similar to winrar [16:33] i need to install ubuntu and i have only floppy and network. can anybody tell me how can i do it? [16:33] Jerva - i tried to format it to FAT also, but the same problem occurs [16:33] Plugh: ubuntu/gnome already comes with file-roller by default [16:33] Nano1 - Did you try to clean install?

[16:33] how do i know if my ubuntu install has come wit selinux or not? [16:33] What's the best way to insure users use strong passwords? [16:33] erUSUL: right. file-roller.

I have the gnome workspace applet, it worked for me before without compiz, and now it doesn't work anymore [16:34] how do i know if my ubuntu install has come wit selinux or not? [16:34] vordude_, you make them personally responsible. === tyranos_ is now known as tyranos [16:34] Jerva - how do i do that? [16:34] Plugh: exactly. then he/she can just right click on a rar file and choose extract here ;P or double click and file-roller will open it [16:34] Nano1 - Do you have Ubuntu CD? [16:34] yep [16:34] Windows Recovery CD ? [16:34] also [16:35] ping [16:35] anyone know where i can find information on installing ubuntu as a guest in vmware? [16:35] Try that - It will have partitioner running for you to make decision to remove partitions [16:35] Pong [16:35] Instead of GParted [16:35] see where it goes [16:35] Sashi1: Right click the desktop switcher area of the bottom(?) panel and go to preferences to set the number of workspaces and how you want them laid out. [16:35] fasta: understandable, but I need to require a min length and uppers, lowers, numerics, and symbols... [16:36] vordude_, that only makes your systems less secure in theory. [16:36] Can some one help in installing .rpm packages in ubuntu! [16:36] !rpm | kishore [16:36] kishore: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [16:36] !alien [16:36] would i find more information by going to a vmware channel? [16:36] graphic_jazz: just google it [16:36] need help in setting up wine am slow learner thats what deebee means [16:36] vordude_, otherwise, just hackup your requirements yourself. [16:36] Plugh: if i do that and put it on 2 rows, 4 workspaces I get just one row, 4 workspaces in the workspace miniviewer... [16:36] mnml: I didn't see the problem you are trying to solve. [16:36] JERVA - you mean i should use the recovery disk (vista) to format my disk? [16:37] nicle1: i've tried but only come up with info on installing other OSs as guest on a ubuntu host [16:37] Even after I upgraded to nvidia 190, it still doesn't work. [16:37] Nanol - Yes.

[16:38] !gksudo | astechgeek [16:38] astechgeek: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [16:38] Plugh: do you see my problem? :) [16:38] Plugh: if i do that and put it on 2 rows, 4 workspaces I get just one row, 4 workspaces in the workspace miniviewer...

I've not run compiz before and had no problems with having multiple workspaces but I'm also newer to Ubuntu as my main distro. I just have a 1x3 workspace set up. [16:40] Slon_: right. You want to look for a netboot version of Ubuntu. [16:41] what gui irc client would people recommend (irssi isn’t suitable for this user) [16:41] x-chat [16:41] Beelsebob I use pidgin, with a IRC account. [16:41] XChat [16:41] Plugh: does it exist? ) [16:41] XChat-Gnome. [16:41] Slon_: err... netinstall. I forget the exact name. Not sure if it can be done via just floppy but that is what you should look for in the Ubuntu site. [16:41] ta [16:41] But if you are behind a proxy, you have to configure it yourself. [16:41] Can I have some help getting rid of a program that is installed so I can start over? I'm trying to remove Wine, I am using ubuntu 9.10. [16:41] XChat is better as it have all network servers already installed [16:41] Other IRCs don't [16:42] A normal user cannot be expected to configure XChat Gnome behind a proxy. [16:42] i wan to play the sims, can u tell me where can i get for linux? [16:42] Plugh: I can copy installation to my hard drive. network is preferable, but not nesessary [16:42] i dont have any problem with my bitchX [16:42] and is there any decent WebKit based browser easily available? (meaning not chromium thanks to it’s lack of support for… anything) [16:42] ok, so why does firefox 3.5 need to install firefox 3.0? [16:42] Plugh: but i can boot only with floppy :( [16:43] Beelsebob, Konqueror [16:43] adamot Execute this command: rm ~/.wine/ [16:43] Beelsebob, that would be the original webkit based browser. [16:43] i'm not new to linux, but new to ubuntu/debian, and cant quite figure out how to downgrade a package (gutenprint-5.2.4 should be 5.0.2 in my case) which is no longer available in the default software repositories. is there any archive from where to get the specific .deb files manually? [16:43] Is there a keyboard layout indicator for KDE desktop [16:43] hello need help! if i did resize for ntfs partition using gparted! does this may affect on data on that parition ? thx [16:43] eva_, cedega, wine [16:43] adamot, run synaptic, enter Wine in Quick Search, click header of first column until you see the packages with green squares all at the top. Those are the installed packages relating to wine. [16:43] rjune: no, that’s the original KHTML based browser… WebKit is not KHTML… also, is the default Konqueror in the package manager WebKit or KHTML based? [16:44] adamot, you can then select them and right click to say remove [16:44] xig, try previous distributions, such as jaunty, ibex or hardy [16:44] adamot I meant this: rmdir ~/.wine/ [16:44] (yes, I know Konq is in the process of updating to use WebKit, but they’re not totally there yet) [16:44] Slon_: You are setting up a brand new machine? [16:44] How long does memtest86+ take per GB, about? [16:44] xig: If you absolutely require an older version you may want to look on http://packages.ubuntu.com [16:44] veritos, that would depend on the speed of your computer.

[16:45] i am trying to install google chromium on my ubuntu intrepid [16:45] adamot I meant this: rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty ~/.wine/ [16:46] rjune: for reference - the main advantage of WebKit is SquirrelFish Extreme – which is entirly apple code, and not present in KHTML… Hence why Konq is moving to WebKit instead [16:46] Plugh: it was there before i installed ubuntu :S [16:46] adamot, just doing an rm of ~/.wine won't remove the Wine packages from your computer. [16:46] adamot Yes, if you are willing to loose all your wine programs [16:46] Lint: ask in #kubuntu ? [16:46] hi all! [16:46] Plugh He said he wanted to remove a wine program [16:46] Beelsebob, webkit is a branch of KHTML. [16:46] Vhozard: yeah thats fine because i dont have any installed :) [16:46] , you should manually unpack your initrd image and configure script for mounting crypt partitions [16:46] rjune: right – but that doesn’t mean that KHTML *is* WebKit [16:46] Plugh Removing wine from apt-get/synaptic DOESNT always remove ./wine [16:46] I getted the bug in Ubuntu kernel... [16:47] I thought as of KDE4, they had upgraded khtml to webkit. [16:47] So, it there any way to install the nivida drivers? [16:47] XStatik: are you trying to erase EVERYTHING or just present the appearance of a clean file system? [16:47] nvidia, that is. [16:47] just a simple question can i run a server using ubuntu i have 160 hd space and 512 ddr mb [16:47] Beelsebob, but realistically, it can be considered the natural upgrade path. [16:47] anyone's installed google chromium in there ubuntu machine?? intrepid to be precise?? [16:47] vhozard: so running the command you said WILL competely remove Wine? [16:47] adamot Then you can do: "sudo apt-get remove wine" and "rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty ~/.wine/" [16:47] rjune: not really – it was forked, not branched [16:47] Vhozard: Oh, "a" wine program, not "the" wine program [16:47] I think I am just going to get them from nvidia.com, since clearly ubuntu has issues.

[16:48] Apple didn't really contribute back useful patches. [16:48] rjune: no, it’s a seperate repository [16:48] they just did their own thing. [16:48] Run the uninstall for the windows program? [16:48] adamot its this command to COMPLETELY remove it: "sudo apt-get remove wine" and "rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty ~/.wine/" [16:48] the svn repo for WebKit is not the svn repo for KHTML [16:48] hello need help! if i did resize for ntfs partition using gparted! does this may affect on data on that parition ? thx [16:48] suman: i use it in jaunty without problems (installed from a ppa) [16:48] and apple *do* release the source to WebKit in an open SVN repo [16:48] please help!

[17:31] @chouchou I think you should consider doing some more research about what options are available to you. I defiantly recommend looking at dual booting or using Ubuntu in a virtual machine rather than going all the way with a complete disk install. [17:31] crypto_ Because your internet is slow :) [17:32] which audio players are preferable for linux [17:32] !players | kishore [17:32] kishore: 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 [17:32] kishore I use Rhythmbox [17:32] can u tell me the list of the best media players [17:32] ok [17:32] ok [17:32] However, I want to set an internet cafe, using ubuntu, do you know any time management software appropriate to manage it?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [17:33] kishore : theres no number 1. but i like xbmc [17:33] what do you think? [17:33] @chouchou I think you will find linux to be brilliant once you get out of the M$ way of limited thinking of computing. Until then baby steps and a bit of reading will help lots. [17:33] hedkandi: i always said try xchat.org and that menu has linsk to the xchat homepage with lots of docs and beginner guides and tutorial [17:33] indeed thanks for letting me know [17:33] crypto_ Perfect!

[17:34] ok [17:34] I wonder if answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/gnome-power-manager [17:34] has anything to say for itself.

[17:38] ok...Is google talk supported with voice features? [17:38] i upgraded to 9.10 from 9.04 and now compiz crashes once in a while (2-36 hours after launching), anybody know why? [17:38] crypto_ That is possible, but not when you are in ubuntu. You need to boot from a live-cd, open gparted, select /dev/sda5 and select "Resize" [17:38] yes google talk is, but i tried it out, i could not get it to work [17:38] http://www.webupd8.org/2009/05/howto-linux-ubuntu-gyachi-yahoo.html [17:39] can i merge it from vista disk management feature is it safe?? [17:39] inivex: Possibly a graphics driver bug [17:39] inivex: any clues from dmesg? [17:39] could be that i did not try hard enough [17:39] crypto_ No, vista cannot do that. Thats not safe.

[17:40] am I right in thinking that my intel based computer running ubuntu will run [17:40] hedkandi: double check and google for the xchat home page i guess. ive not checked the docs out in some time. 4+ mo ago they had a decent done site/forum/scripts archive [17:40] compiz.real[2939]: segfault at 8 ip 01a192c5 sp bfaf39d4 error 4 in libGLcore.so.185.18.36 [17:40] Thanks, but gyachi does not support connection via a socks proxy.

But the order of the chapters is interchanged. Has anyone an idea what I made wrong?

I have OO 2.4 under ubuntu 8.10 and can't find proper repository to update it to 3.1 version [17:40] dr_willis you're probably right, but you don't reach it from the help menu in xchat [17:40] i never had this problem with 9.04, should i recompile nvidia? [17:41] crypto_ Then you can use vista and create a ntfs partition of 30 GB [17:41] i used to be able to configure gdm by going to the login screen app under Adminsitration, now i only get a basic config, how can i get the original dialog box back? [17:41] hey guys how do i download video clips with ubuntu it just wants to download the image or links [17:41] Bear10, depends on what app, graphics will most likely be a little slow [17:41] hedkandi: xchat.org - check the faq [17:41] inivex: You should try a different version of the driver [17:41] by the way amsn works with vioce and cam on msn protocol [17:41] hi there . I want to change the icons of running applications. Especially chromium-browser. I already changed the icon for the launcher but can't seem to change taskbar & alt-tab icons.

[17:42] i didn't think i custom compiled the binary, i thought the driver came from ubuntu repos [17:42] http://bit.ly/29lRwM [17:42] finally got it to work [17:42] i thought recompiling would break package management [17:42] ok i am rebooting now, i will be back, really thankyou for your kind help [17:42] FireSnake: why cant you upgrade you distro to 9.04?

[17:45] Cool_AWAY: if you want access to the site(s) from outside your lan you'll need to use something like dyndns.com to overcome most isp issues with dynamic ip's and port 80 blocking because they don't want you running a web server from residential service. [17:45] Malx: Please stop posting the same link, which has nothing to do with ubuntu support [17:45] Can someone help recover jaunty login. Only shell login is possible now?

[17:59] no I used envyng-core [17:59] to install the driver [17:59] Delano Yes, Pidgin has more options, runs better, uses less memory, and has a better interface.

[18:02] mka right now desperate to get desktop back [18:02] !update [18:02] crypto_: I have a soundcard that has a setting in the mixer to enable/disable headphone socket detection. after I enabled it, it would mute the speakers when I plugged in headphones [18:02] code: "sudo apt-get remove wine" [18:03] firefox 3.5 font rendering in 9.10 not smooth [18:03] i dint get you foxy:( [18:03] code: then "sudo apt-get install " [18:03] i have intel HDA sound card [18:03] the package is showing up as Shiretoko [18:03] is there any conflict? [18:03] mka thats 1st step im dong now. [18:03] vikb: Shiretoko is FF3.5 [18:04] code: i have to go now, good luck. [18:04] Scunizi, However the font seems to be very jagged is there any latex-fonts that I need to install? [18:04] gurka, increase the space on partition / [18:04] FF3.5 is just that, shiretoko is a beta [18:04] vikb : remove the shiretoko ppa from software sources then reinstall firefox. [18:05] how can I remove HPA sections of my HDD? [18:05] gurka_, just move some space from /home to / [18:05] even if i plug in my headphone jack in my dv6 notebook, the sound still comes from the default speakers [18:05] crypto_: could it be a hardware problem? [18:05] I need to remove grub!!!!! [18:05] mka will remove and continue with librender install. Booting out of vista to go in jaunty. Thanks [18:06] Xyzumi: why? [18:06] * mbeierl hates perl and utf8 - why can't they get it right? [18:06] tLoFP: need to remove ubuntu 9.04 [18:06] lilyshu, where is the sources.list file available to remove the shiretoko entry? [18:06] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/427980 i get this solution should i try it [18:06] Xyzumi: id keep Grub [18:06] Xyzumi: install a diffrent boot loader over it then.. [18:06] tLoFP: just want to keep windows XP [18:06] Xyzumi: boot live delete your partition, edit grub as appropriate [18:06] Xyzumi: then delete/reformat the partitions [18:07] Xyzumi: in that case you must have windows XP recreate a boot loader [18:07] crypto_, what distribution youre using? It works fine in karmic, I used to have the same problem but in SuSE, Ive never had that problem with ubuntu though [18:07] Xyzumi: this is not easy as windows was never about being nice in terms of coexisting with OSs [18:07] Xyzumi: but you should be able to repair it, if no bootloader is present useing your XP CD [18:07] i am using karmic [18:07] I have xp and windows 7 on my first hdd, ubuntu 8.10 on my second hdd. I reinstalled XP and I recovered grub using a livecd, but now I am unable to boot windows7. Any thoughts on how to fix this? [18:07] nah it takes like a few minutes, tLoFP [18:07] ok so can I delete ubuntu and keep GRUB??? [18:07] vikb: you might try font smoothing [18:07] hi there . I want to change the icons of running applications. Especially chromium-browser. I already changed the icon for the launcher but can't seem to change taskbar & alt-tab icons. (Tried changing the icons in /usr/share/pixmaps & /usr/share/icons/hicolor but didn't change anything...) [18:08] DigitalKiwi: ok [18:08] crypto_, the quick fix would be to lower the volume on the speaker using alsamixer [18:08] DigitalKiwi: just never played with it [18:08] Does anyone know of a good bandwidth monitor for Ubuntu? I want something that can record -all- traffic in and out and keep track of my usage by day and month [18:08] mbeierl, / all I am still having swap problems. Could you take a look? http://pastebin.ca/1663684 [18:08] Any ideas? [18:08] How can I remove HPA sections of my HDD, and reset my HDD to use the entire disk again? [18:08] sam_: ok [18:08] even better, how can I take a look at what is inside the HPA [18:09] Scunizi, My font rendering is set to sub-pixel smooth styling.... All the other applications appear smooth including the desktop its only the firefox which is posing a problem [18:09] sam_: and what happens at "sudo swapon -a"? [18:09] Delano: iotop won't show all traffic overmonth but would show instant, some router firmware can show io for inbound/outbound over a month, I know tomato can [18:10] tLoFP: can i delete ubuntu and keep GRUB?? [18:10] sam@sam-laptop:~$ sudo swapon -a [18:10] sam@sam-laptop:~$ [18:10] I instaled karmic on a intel dual core, but i cant create dual core virtual machines (apparently). I think I'm using a 32 bit iso, is there a 64 bit iso for intel processors? I'm using an E5200 processor [18:10] vikb : system/administration/software sources/other software [18:10] Xyzumi: where did you install grub? [18:10] Dr_willis I have removed nvida-settings now have the screen resoloution Strange then when i reboot its lost and missing rom the list ? [18:10] Hello, i chose to configure networking later during 9.10 ubuntu server install. Now netowrking script simply doesn't work. Are there any further steps besides configuring /etc/network/interfaces? Ifup eth0 works. [18:10] vikb: yes.. that's been mentioned in the past .. you can change the fonts used inside FF which may make a difference. [18:10] sam@sam-laptop:~$ free | grep Swap [18:10] Swap: 0 0 0 [18:10] in 9.04 no sound came from headsets, now after upgrading sound comes from both of them [18:10] damn me :( [18:10] tLoFP: dont know, it was jaunty auto [18:10] Xyzumi: just a warning, Windows found a security vulnerability for XP that they DO NOT plan on fixing [18:10] If I have an audio CD in my computer when I boot up, then I (as a user) do not have authority to eject the disc except as root. Is this intentional? Can it be changed to mount it at boot-time to allow users to eject the disc? fstab has "user" as one of the flags, but that doesn't seem to help. (9.10) [18:10] sam_: and "sudo swapon -s" ? [18:11] DigitalKiwi, tomato? Thanks [18:11] Excell: the nvidia-settings tool just teaks your xorg.conf file. [18:11] Delano: well it only works on certain routers [18:11] sam@sam-laptop:~$ sudo swapon -s [18:11] Filename Type Size Used Priority [18:11] Any other suggestions? [18:11] tLoFP: I use ubuntu, in my laptop, thats for a friend that didnt like [18:11] I don't know of anything, maybe gnome system monitor [18:11] Xyzumi: sorry to here that [18:11] DigitalKiwi, I have a capped DSL accountm and I don't want to go over my monthy limit, or I pay extra [18:11] guys, i need help installing alien arena. I download the zip, but i don't know what to do next. :/ [18:12] sam_: Ah. I see it. Your fstab entry is missing the mount point. It should read "/sec/sda3 none swap sw 0 0" [18:12] isolat3dsh33p, try wine-doors [18:12] tLoFP I found this command: # dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sdX bs=446 count=1 [18:12] Ok will try [18:12] Xyzumi: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392 [18:12] Hi there - I wonder if you could help me - I have a B&W G3 PowerMac and I want to install Ubuntu - I have the 9.10 liveCD (powerPC) but it cannot see my hdd [18:13] Xyzumi: I assume grub is installed in the MBR [18:13] crypto_ You could run "alsamixer" and press m at every channel (move with arrow keys) to see if the speakers get muted... [18:13] so what do you suggest i do / also i am not sure what driver is now installed? [18:13] Xyzumi: which probably means you overwrote windows boot loader [18:13] tLoFP: yes thats right [18:13] has anyone seen Richard Stallman tonight? :/ [18:13] Go to a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install alien-arena" [18:14] HELOO ALL :D [18:14] he is wandering around [18:14] isolat3dsh33p Go to a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install alien-arena" [18:14] isolat3dsh33p, extract the file by double clicking on it.

[18:46] inivex: Yes, i have [18:46] Yanick_: if you have apache2 installed, then you should have www-data [18:46] jrib, I don't. I only have the group [18:46] good question... i encrypt everything except /boot, so it HAS to stop and ask me for passphrase [18:46] Yanick_: what version of ubuntu? [18:47] Yanick_: sure? In console type "id www-data" [18:47] 9.10 [18:47] doruk, ppa:wine-doors-dev-team/ppa [18:47] thanks mate [18:47] inivex: I did that in 9.04 too, but i figured that the only thing I need to encrypt is the /home/ folder, since the rest is open source anyway. So I only encrypt swap and /home/ [18:48] oCean__, the command returns : "uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data)" The point is that it's NOT in the Users settings UI window even if "show all users" is checked in gconf-editor [18:48] arcanus: i'm not sure about the implementation in linux, but sometimes the passphrase can be recovered from swap [18:48] Yanick_: don't use the gui then [18:48] arcanus: it's known as the cold boot attack [18:48] jrib, the tutorial does not explain otherwise [18:48] inivex: that is why I encrypt swap aswell ;) [18:48] Yanick_: but your link does say "Note: in order to see www-data you may need to see FixShowAllUsers" [18:49] jrib, I did === kb is now known as Guest76490 [18:49] jrib, it only display the group www-data [18:49] Yanick_: it's a gui issue, just use a shell [18:49] how can i upload text to pastebin?

[18:51] jrib: nope, the capital G is "add" (as secondairy group) [18:51] saxxor: other than a problem with audio... it's fine [18:51] jrib, so, how to add www-data to subversion without removing it from other groups?

[18:52] and now, I have audio, but cannot get stremain audio to work [18:52] oCean__, Yanick_: you need -a if you want to use usermod.

[18:53] how do i connect to a router using the terminal? [18:53] arcanus: the way i have it set up is with 2 logical partitions, boot and crypt. on the crypto disk i have an lvm disk, and on that i have swap and / [18:53] jrib: hm, just tested it. The -G *does* add as secondairy group [18:53] kkkduifjalsdd: kermit ? [18:53] oCean__: now try adding your user to another different group [18:53] jrib, "$ sudo usermod -a subversion www-data" \n "usermod: no changes" [18:54] hmm, I can't seem to uninstal lfirefox,i mean i run complete removal from synaptic and everything else,but even after reinstalling and restarting the browser comes up with the same weird charecter distortions.well i will have to rm firefox [18:54] Yanick_: you still need -G [18:54] oh [18:54] inivex: That is why I encrypted root and home with 2048bit generated keys and added them to a small keys partition which I had a script decrypt the keys partition, then use the keys in that partition to open the home and root partition, then I closed the keys partition before booting. [18:54] jrib: aaah, I see [18:54] Yanick_: adduser is easier to use (it's different than useradd) [18:54] hdparm reports this: "max sectors = 156301488/5306544, HPA setting seems invalid", how can the Max Sector be greater then the Native ???

Does anyone have one of those? I want a TV card which works under both Linux, OS X (and maybe Windows, although that's less important ^^) [19:10] jrib: sopcast-player [19:10] bashca, libstdc++.so.5 MIGHT be able to be fixed with just a symlink - i'm not sure, BUT this is what I did to solve the problem - NOTE this is for 64BIT systems ONLY! http://paste.ubuntu.com/314362/ good luck [19:10] cyrus_mc1: pastebin: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install cryptsetup [19:10] hey i have strange charecters all over my firefox,i have tried complete removal of firefox from synaptic and even deleting .mozilla in home directory but when i reinstall firefox i have the same charecter flaws,these weird charecters(a E with a dash above it) appeared a day ago [19:11] the e appears on text menu's of firefox === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [19:11] cyrus_mc1: erm ignore my comment about installing from source, I confused you and bashca [19:11] Java segfaults for me for all swing applications with an error stemming from catgets (karmic 64bit), I've reinstalled libc6, locales, etc many times over and I can't seem to correct the problem. I have it on two machines, but some co-workers of mine are also running karmic 64bit and can't recreate the problem. [19:11] # C [libc.so.6+0x31b08] catgets+0x18 [19:11] jrib: i figured as much..np [19:11] bashca: install from source until they update the package http://code.google.com/p/sopcast-player/ [19:12] anyone have any luck running the vmware infrastructure client in wine?

[19:13] mespejel does reboot fix problem [19:13] bruno123, noup [19:13] bruno123: Works fairly well, runs 32 bit binaries alright too so long as you install libc6-i386 and friends. [19:13] jrib, hehe.. how did you know? yeah i habe a mbp.. and im using kermit koala [19:13] does fglrx working for anyone in karmic? [19:13] bruno123: I'm able to run 32 bit oracle-xe on it without any trouble. [19:14] when I install it, it builds, but the module can't load do to some memory allocation error it seems [19:14] edugonch: you can edit the file associations by right clicking on the file, going to properties on the open with tab [19:14] spotter: I'm using it now, but they recently (earlier this year?) terminated support for a number of cards.

[19:15] spotter: The support termination cycle was with Jaunty, so if you're upgrading from Jaunty that's not the problem. [19:15] ati works with it, but not well (at least for flash) [19:15] watching hulu in normal size plays fine [19:15] mespejel: see if anything happens in « xev » when you right click [19:15] watching in full screen is very stuttery [19:15] was hoping fglrx would be better [19:15] tag: not upgrading from jaunty, been running karmic for a while === sarah is now known as Guest90749 [19:15] any way i can avoid networkmanager from overwriting resolv.conf ? [19:16] but was wondering about my flash issue [19:16] without upscaling flash runs great [19:16] just when I try to upscale, it comes crashing down [19:16] spotter: Are you also running compiz and/or glx? [19:16] jamfade: the usual kludge is to use chattr to make it immutable. I don't know the nice way [19:16] jrib, explain better please.. where is xev? [19:17] mespejel: a program you can run from a terminal [19:17] This segfault thing has to stop, really [19:17] tag: without compiz, with metacity [19:17] Yeah updating xorg.conf *does not work* [19:17] I'm still working on it though [19:17] I switch off between them, but I know flash sucks w/ compiz [19:17] jrib, how do i run it? [19:18] mespejel: xev [19:18] jrib:will do, tyvm [19:18] spotter: Flash works fine with compiz for me on my newer cards, on my older ATI card (which coincidentally also had support terminated w/Jaunty) I had the problem you describe. [19:18] !apt-file [19:18] apt-file is a program that can tell you which package(s) contain(s) a given filename. To install it and generate the database it needs, run "sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update" [19:18] when i insert the ubuntu disk, im unable to see an option to enter grub... [19:18] how do i do it? [19:19] tag: was supprot dropped by ATI in cataylst [19:19] or support dropped by ubuntu?

[19:21] so basically SOL [19:21] !ask | Nomos [19:21] Nomos: 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. :-) [19:21] unless ati xorg driver improves [19:21] oh well [19:21] dont need to watch flash videos [19:21] ActionParsnip: then how? [19:21] or create some tools to download the video behind the schenes [19:21] scenes [19:22] sleep la [19:22] jrib, brb [19:22] wrapster: if you installation does not have grub, you can install it from the liveCD [19:22] so my question is , iam in skype now , i donwloaded cheese to cheak if my camera works , it works ! but in skype i cant activate it . i tried to cheak at options if i can finde the camera in some list and activate it . nothing ! what can i do now ? === tomas_ is now known as mcnuggz [19:23] can anyone help? i am running a hp pavilion with the nvidia geforce 230M video card, tried multiple nvidia drivers including building them from source, i've also tested this on three other computers to make sure it wasnt just me, when booting up everything is perfect, crisp, compiz works like a champ however, when restarting gdm for example, or dropping to runlevel via ctr,alt,f1 - the... [19:23] ...screen becomes very very fuzzy and staticy, you can still see things, but it looks all distorted, even happens at the command prompt, restarting gdm doesn't fix, only a reboot does [19:23] ActionParsnip: I had everything.. ut now due to reasons i had to move FC and ended up with just windows and grub... apparently windows wont boot directly so im having to use rootnoverify(..) to get it up.. I will not be around so needed a permanet fix and thought of playing around with grub to make it permanent... [19:24] ReL1K: The solution is simple [19:24] ReL1K: Don't use nvidia graphics. [19:24] soreau: switch to windows? [19:24] Anyone mind helping? [19:24] ! anyone | Scouser [19:24] Scouser: 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? [19:24] new to cli text editors, I've installed emacs via sudo apt-get emacs but it runs a gui, I thought emacs was cli? [19:24] ReL1K: Use ATI. The drivers are much better [19:25] !grub2 | wrapster [19:25] wrapster: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [19:25] soreau: not an option, ATI multi-graphics support for number crunching is subpar to cuda processing [19:25] no one knows how to activate the camera in skype ? thats really strange [19:25] I know this room if not for Xubuntu, but I insert the CD and Xubuntu 9.10 didn't detect the CD in the CD drive, why? It works on Ubuntu, but why not Xubuntu? [19:25] and its not a nvidia "driver" issue persay, works fine in fedora and gentoo [19:25] Nomos: i use neither, so no [19:26] thnx anyways [19:26] jrib, thanks for your help. It got it working now [19:26] Well, I'm dual booting ubuntu 9.10 and windows 7. The sound on ubuntu is not working, I have to reinstall the drivers using synaptic package manager everytime to make it work. When I shut down, and reboot again, it stops working. [19:26] Yanick_: cool [19:26] I know this room if not for Xubuntu, but I insert the CD and Xubuntu 9.10 didn't detect the CD in the CD drive, why? It works on Ubuntu, but why not Xubuntu?

[19:27] exodus_ms, i don't use emacs myself (i'm a vi guy) but you might want to check out "emacs23-nox" in the repos [19:27] 9.10 [19:27] hello how do i change model parameter in alsa (ubuntu 9.10 unr) [19:27] since very latest version doesnt [19:27] of ubuntu that works with vmware tools [19:27] ReL1K: Well that's your choice [19:27] jhb1608: I'm just asking you not to repeat your question after waiting a minute [19:27] !terminal | xroot [19:27] xroot: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [19:28] ZykoticK9, cool, i used the standard repos and found emacs22* same thing I suppose, thank you [19:28] soreau: thats probably the worst answer i've ever seen, i can always custom compile the kernel and readjust framebuffer sizes to more than likely fix it, your reasoning is completely off base and drops your intellect about 10 notches [19:28] Well, I'm dual booting ubuntu 9.10 and windows 7. The sound on ubuntu is not working, I have to reinstall the drivers using synaptic package manager everytime to make it work. When I shut down, and reboot again, it stops working. [19:28] anyone have an idea how to set a "primary" display in gnome? i.e. the one where the gnome panels will sit? [19:29] anyone know of a program/script that I can get one server to ping another server every ten minutes or so, and if I get a timeout, to send me an email? [19:29] Scouser: sounds like you just need to load the module at bootup === r3dhat is now known as redhat|away [19:29] Anyway i can revert to the previous GUI of sound preferences (running 9.10, want the 9.04 soundpreferences back) [19:29] Cant even get sound out from the current piece of ...., card is audigy 4 but listed as audigy 2 value on preferences [19:29] what is the last version of ubuntu that works with vmware tools, since version 9.10 doesnt [19:29] and how do I go about doing that? [19:29] !version [19:29] anyone here pretty good with mdadm? [19:29] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [19:29] Nomos, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams [19:29] HeyYou: 9.04 is the next youngest, it still has 12 months support left in it [19:30] join #tdct [19:30] thanks allot [19:30] HeyYou: did you try some boot options to make it boot? [19:30] i just destroyed/removed my old raid level 5, and now I am trying to create a new one... it keeps telling me two of the five drives have ext2fs filesystem... blah blah blah, however they are already formated for the RAID [19:30] ReL1K: You are the weakest link, goodbye [19:30] exodus_ms, if you run emacs in a console, real terminal what ever you call it , it will be command line style. I think it is evoked as xemacs or some such if it detects a window environment. [19:30] Linux Raid AutoDetect [19:30] HeyYou: are you sure the iso you are using is complete [19:30] hi [19:30] Colonel_Panik, ok, typing 'emacs' loads the gtk version [19:30] actionparsnip my problem is not running ubuntu in vmware, all versions of that work, my problem is vmware tools workin(allows full screen, copin text and files from host to client) this is essential [19:31] soreau: far from the weakest link champ [19:31] guys, i want to extend my ubuntu partition, how can i do this? [19:31] isolat3dsh33p: gparted [19:31] i'm using zsh and i want to bind the keys page up/page down to "history-search-backward" and "history-search-forward" [19:31] isolat3dsh33p: use gparted in liveCD [19:31] how can i do that? [19:31] isolat3dsh33p, LiveCD and gparted [19:31] if i press page up/down atm i just get tildes [19:31] ReL1K: Then why would you ask such a silly question in here when you could be compiling your very own homebrew kernel to fix it? [19:31] HeyYou: then karmic is not suitable for you if the essential thing doesnt work, use jaunty if it works [19:31] actionparsnip wtf are you talkin about? yes the ubuntu install was complete [19:31] yes my vmware install was complete [19:32] isolat3dsh33p, before that backup everything essential of course [19:32] exodus_ms, anyway, some people from the early days consider emacs almost an operating system *smile* [19:32] i've installed gparted. How to use it? [19:32] HeyYou: no, the iso, did you check it before using it? [19:32] soreau: asking if someone is having similar issues is a problem? your a newb dude. [19:32] isolat3dsh33p: you need to create your own live cd or live usb, and boot from that. [19:32] soc1: I have to go so can't help much, but check other terminals. It "just works" here [19:32] sorry i don't speak english [19:32] isolat3dsh33p, burn a Live CD system and boot from it. You can't change your partition while you have mounted it as root filesystem [19:32] thnx [19:32] maby polish [19:33] how do i remove a drive, and a raid from all aspects of the system? so when i go to create a new raid, mdadm doesn't complain that the disk is part of another raid?

[19:33] Colonel_Panik, ok, i guess I will refrain from asking which is better vi or emacs here in the channel then :D [19:33] jrib: how can i do that? [19:33] are these caches kept on each raid partition, or somewhere on the system? [19:33] kinda like when you asked questions here? http://www.radeonhd.org/?page=archive_display&c=radeon&m=9&y=2009&d=2009-9-19 [19:33] ok, then.. i'll try it now. thanks guys.

[19:33] * exodus_ms thinks if you do not know how to get a cli version of emacs running, you have no business using it, heads back over to gedit :P [19:34] Nomos, there's 2.1 beta, if you don't have it, fetch from skype.com deb and install it [19:34] exodus_ms, nano or pico will suit you well if you just want to edit config files, etc. from a console. emacs and vi are full featured editors plus include the kitchen gotssink and some extra spi [19:35] how changes xsplash? [19:35] ReL1K: Ok you caught me red handed. That bug has been fixed, took two days from bug report to push. Anyway, have fun with your cuda.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:37] Great, got an update for tilda, it still segfaults. [19:37] i have this watermark on my screen that says "AMD Unsupported hardware" and updating to the latest ati catalyst driver doesn't make it go away =\ how do i make it go away (without switching to nvidia or something)? [19:38] ihsw, first of all, what is your video card? [19:38] ihsw, could you provide a screenshot? I'm really just interested in adding it to my "reasons NOT be buy ATI products" file [19:38] pecisk: ati radeon hd 2900 gt [19:38] zykotick9: i cannot, a screenshot doesn't get it (it seems to be added on the hardware level) [19:39] how would i go about trying to install ubuntu on a mac mini (that doesnt have a cd drive) with a firewire external HD and target boot mode [19:39] ihsw, yes, it is not supported, it is supported in free 'radeon' driver, as it seems [19:39] ihsw, does it look like this? http://www.hugh-grigg.net/media/2009/09/amd-unsupported-hardware-watermark-ubuntu.JPG [19:40] pecisk: how unfortunate [19:40] zykotick9: yes [19:40] ZykoticK9: mine is several terrabytes in size, want a copy ;) [19:40] ihsw, wait a minute, I will check [19:40] ihsw, why unfortunate? [19:41] Guys I use tilda but have a problem with it's transparency. I set it to max (which is 90) but I can still see it on my desktop (I have ablue bg image). is there a way to make it full transparent or maybe use an app to do that? [19:41] pecisk: because i was under the impression that even though this video card isn't the most recent, it is gddr3, and thus quite modern [19:41] why do i gert these empty windoes?? http://yfrog.com/2m39081162p [19:42] Take0n: try closing tilda then renaming (or deleting) ~/.tilda then relaunch it === andi__ is now known as elTigre [19:42] ihsw, let's say ATI/AMD commitment about Redeon support on Linux have been scetchy at best [19:42] NetworkManager Applet 0.7.996 keep asking again and again for my wirless connection's password and at every connection everyday!!!! any idea how to fix it please? [19:42] anyone know what may make an ubuntu not to load if no changes hav been made? [19:42] hey all, got a quick issue involving 9.10 and an integrated 6150LE vga chipset [19:43] ActionParsnip, how will that help me? wouldn't that reset the settings? My problem is that it looks okay with a black background but not with a blue or yellow orsomething else than black [19:43] mgv1: check dmesg | less as well as /var/log/Xorg.0.log [19:43] just installed 9.10 for a friend, and I can't get it off 800x600 resolution [19:43] hi [19:43] I am able to see it's background which differs from the desktop background and I don't want it to differ (that's why I want it full transparent) [19:43] Take0n: Yes, it will reset tilda settings to defaults [19:49] pecisk, it's on it's way to the reboot, just removed the xorg.conf file I had created [19:50] pecisk: thanks anyway [19:50] <[TK]D-Fender> Any news in the pipe for fixes for PulseAudio randomly choking out 99% CPU (esp on games like OpenArena)? [19:50] <[TK]D-Fender> (Ubuntu 9.10 i386 clean install BTW) [19:51] Got a little problem with sound, everything was ok under 9.04, after upgrading to 9.10 the sound preferences thingie changed and it recognizes my card as audigy 2 (though its audigy 4 really, no sound now). [19:51] How do i get the old sound preferences thingy back? [19:52] I have a second question. I have installed lampp and I want it to autostart every time I start ubuntu. I added "sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start" in System > Preferences > Startup Applications but it doesn't seem to work :\ [19:52] Evito, it would be hard, what is that what you missing [19:52] ? [19:52] anyone versed in openfirmware ? [19:52] on a pc [19:53] pecisk: missing a few controls from it i need to get sound out from my card, i'd also like it to recognize my soundcard properly [19:53] pecisk: it currently sees it as audigy 2 value, i have audigy 4 non-pro [19:54] and i definitely hate the new soundpreferences, cant get any options visible on it etc [19:54] wayhey!! looks like it's worked pecisk [19:54] thanks man [19:54] zNcAz, no problem, happy for ya :) [19:54] Evito, well, it is matter of taste, but I use alsamixer to tune old things [19:55] Evito, for reporting sound card wrongly I suggest to do a bug report [19:55] how hard would it be to get the old soundpref back really (why'd they even change it :/ ) [19:56] i need sound tonite not next week anyways (i'll do a bugreport anyways) [19:56] Evito, try to install gnome-alsamixer package [19:56] its in repos with that name? [19:56] hello guys, i'm back. I'm clueless. How can I use the gparted with the LiveCD to expand my root partition? [19:56] Evito yep [19:56] any mdadm junkies around? [19:56] pecisk: i'll try that, will let you know if it works [19:57] aww [19:57] isolat3dsh33p, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/docs/help-manual/C/gparted_manual.html [19:57] pecisk, thanks [19:58] Hey, is there anyway I can change the position on my screen of the status tool tips (like ' Connection Established 'eth0') in karmic? It shows up quite a bit away from the top panel [19:58] Decessus, it is known bug and I think we will see fix soon for it [19:59] ah, okay =\ [19:59] Decessus, i think you can't to change that position, but maybe search Launchpad for bug report, and I think there will be some workaround to fix it [19:59] So why is \a suddenly different? I thought the whole point of it was that it didn't depend on a sound card or anything... [19:59] I think position is written somewhere in plain text confs [19:59] hi all - plz tell me sobbosy - how I can disable or switch to classic desktop in my ubuntu Remix???? [20:00] alexey, I think you will have to 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' [20:00] pecisk: get a nice little error, want me to PM it to you? [20:00] do it [20:00] pecisk, no it's not a good idea [20:01] alexey, there is no other way to get all classic stuff as gnome-panel installed in one row :) [20:01] anyone have an issue with wine and the ssl libraries .net has? [20:01] server irc.rizon.net [20:01] i upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 but i dont have sound!!! what can i do? [20:01] Decessus: pecisk: The new notification position is by design, to make room for volume/brighness always being in the same position.

Version 1.3.1-1 (karmic), package size 52 kB, installed size 332 kB [20:02] if i have to add a certain source to ubuntu, what's the difference between adding it to "system > administration > software sources" and adding it to "/etc/apt/sources.list" ??? [20:03] IpSe_DiXiT, one is without opening a Terminal? [20:03] IpSe_DiXiT: none, i'd use one method and stick to it [20:03] guys can somone tell me how to receive file using cmd in ubuntu ? [20:03] i have mercurial, mercurial-common, trac, trac-mercurial apt-get installed [20:04] My gnome-terminal [sudo apt-get install] autocompletion is taking a whole lot more than what it used to take in 9.04 [20:04] time* [20:04] any possible causes? [20:04] xroot: what do you mean by "receive" ? [20:05] xroot, have you tried vsftpd (I am guessing you want to receive the file via ftp) [20:05] i upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 but i dont have sound!!! what can i do? [20:05] Decessus: pecisk: https://launchpad.net/~gilir/+archive/updates << Adding this ppa you can install a version where the behaviour has been reveted. [20:05] xroot: wget can download files [20:06] arand, thank you [20:06] Petein: run: sudo lshw -C sound you can then websearch the product line to find guides [20:06] xroot: scp as well via ssh can "receive" files [20:06] ActionParsnip: yeah alright, but i'm just asking whatz the difference?

[20:07] jetienne: they aren't very quick to update the repos with new versions of rubygems/rails, I would suggest installing them manually unless you never update [20:07] xroot: via bluetooth, SSH, telnet? [20:07] IpSe_DiXiT: the things you add in the sources gui thing will simply get added to the sources.list file so essentially none, its just a pretty way so people dont start moaning with "oh, I shouldn't have to edit conf files! I'm not a prgrammer" or some other nonesense [20:07] trism: ok [20:08] i have just oppened my gparted and it says i have 8mb withot assignament; i want to resize swap part to use that 8mb, but it doesn't work... [20:08] xroot: i dont follow, if you want people to uplad to use you will need to run some kind of service like ftp or ssh so you can have files uploaded to you [20:08] Where does linux store the executable program files? [20:08] I installed mp3gain via synaptic but it doesn't appear in my menu and I wanna add it manually [20:08] ActionParsnip: hahahah :D [20:08] IpSe_DiXiT: i always just use nano on the sources.list file, its not hard at all [20:08] messiah: 8mb is very small dont mind it [20:08] Delano: everywhere, but traditionally under /bin [20:09] Delano, which binary_file will give you path, but is usually in /usr/bin and /bin [20:09] I'm looking for a way to encrypt my laptop hdd, and I want it to only boot if I insert my flash drive as a key [20:09] Delano: it is in /usr/bin/mp3gain [20:09] is this possible?

[20:09] mka, yes [20:10] can i get help with shell scripting here or is there a better channel for that [20:10] ft_: go ahead, what specific shell scripting help do you need? [20:10] ft_, FYI if you don't get an answer in this channel, i'd recommend asking in #bash [20:10] ... [20:10] ft_: there are lots of better channels to get support in type /list [20:10] i have a shell script in which i want to use an arbitraty number of command line arguments [20:10] messiah: click your swap and drag the end to towards the unallocated 8mb space [20:10] ft_: #bash is the best channel to ask shell scripting questions [20:11] messiah: after clicking resize [20:11] e.g. ./script.sh arg1 arg2 arg2 where arg1 is a command and arg2 and arg3 are its parameters [20:11] ok i will go there [20:12] messiah: turn that swap off first [20:12] When I try to install OpenBVE, I am gettin this: http://pastebin.com/dcffc31a Is there a way for me to fix it ? <-- oh, and I am running 9.10 [20:12] ft_: the inputs will be known as $1 $2 $3 and so on in the script [20:12] ft_: check out http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/othertypesv.html under positional parameters [20:12] hi there [20:12] messiah: sudo swapoff -a [20:12] mka, i didn't know i had to turn off it [20:13] I'm currently trying to share some internet connection between my laptop, which is connected through wifi, and my desktop which have no wifi card [20:13] messiah: you HAVE to [20:13] mka, now it works ;) [20:13] mka, i didn't know that [20:13] messiah: ok [20:13] yes ActionParsnip, but i would like an arbitrary number of parameters, so the script can take say 2 to infinity parameters. how do i access a range of parameters in the script? [20:13] i have some hub to help with this [20:13] mka, i didn't know that, thank you [20:13] messiah: no problem [20:14] but the thing is, when I plug my ethernet cable between my laptop and the hub, my wifi connection breaks [20:14] mka, do you speak spanish? :D [20:14] ft_: $* and $@, but you should really just go read the link I sent you [20:15] ft_: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-bash2.html [20:15] Hi, I'm having a problem with SDL mouse motion events, and I suspect that it's an Ubuntu issue rather than an SDL issue. I summarized it on a post on gamedev.net here: http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=552846 [20:15] hello [20:15] messiah: nope [20:15] !list [20:15] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [20:15] ft_: #bash will show you love [20:15] thank you trism, will do [20:15] Essentially, I'm getting motion events with really big valuesfor the relative motion of the mouse inexplicably. [20:15] messiah: is my english too bad? [20:16] in ubuntu i have a folder share but on another windows machine it cant locate ubuntu in work group on network [20:16] i have a question [20:16] ? [20:16] Nomos, ask ;) [20:16] infiltration: what is a hub? [20:16] what can be done to make basic filesharing work between windows and ubuntu [20:16] d-link dir 300 [20:16] cant access windows shares via ubuntu but not from windows [20:16] install and configure SAMBA [20:17] opticon: install and configure SAMBA [20:17] ubuntu 9.10 skype and video call ?= does it funcion ? i got this website that you gave me before , the camera is listed in the list of non working cameras and the same time in the working one [20:17] opticon: you may have to add the password you use in the windows system to your account using smbpasswd [20:17] Hi all, I have a very simple question. What is the best way to share between two ubuntu machines on the same network? [20:17] samba ga admin?

But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [20:18] how to remove all files "namefile~" wich the original file "namefile" has been deleted? [20:18] Nomos, well, there is a catch - it doesn't work with Skype, but it does work with Linux generally. It is more or less Skype bug [20:18] opticon: CANT access windows shares via ubuntu BUT NOT from windows? [20:18] opticon: you are most likely using a workgroup so you must manage access yourself [20:19] mka: some kind of thing that allow you to connect many ethernet wires on it to connect machines [20:19] davdm2010, you could also use UbuntuOne built into the new distro.... free for up to 2gb of storage [20:19] yea typing error meant to say can access windows shares via ubuntu but not the other way around with windows [20:19] opticon: if you add the username you use in ubuntru to the windows system, give it the same password, then add the same password as an smbpasswd then you should be fine [20:19] hey, guys! is there a fix for NM dsl bug in ubuntu 9.10, yet?

[20:23] thanks ill look at this and see what i can get going [20:23] infiltration: make it a wifi hotspot then [20:23] eddym: sudo apt-get install build-essential will give you the compiler and environment you need [20:23] does anyone know how I can get "configuration editor" to show up in my system tools menu (9.04)? I know it's installed, but it just isn't showing in the menu.... [20:23] infiltration: create an ad-hoc network [20:23] hi - does anyone here know lubuntu? Does it run flash? [20:23] mka: ok gonna try this [20:24] eddym: you'll also need: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [20:24] I suddenly have some dependency problems involving firefox. The cause seems to be that xulrunner is installed as version 1.9.1, but other parts of the package manager thinks that version 1.9 is installed. How do I resolve these conflicts? [20:25] actionparsnip: did those 2 things [20:25] hellyes, System / Preferences / Main Menu -- select System Tools on left side -- add check to "configuration Editor" [20:25] well, i m unable to create dsl connection in NetworkManager. Everythink worked fine with 9.04, but since i updated to 9.10, no dsl [20:25] actionparsnip: i had the latest ones [20:25] Any clues where to start digging. Suspend on my workstation (not a laptop) works once after a reboot. All other times it suspends itself for about 10 seconds and just wakes up [20:25] eddym: ok sounds like you have what you need, you may get some dependancies you will need to get (-dev packages of some apps) but you will find those as you run configure [20:26] amaurea: uninstall xulrunner and firefox then install the new [20:26] SAI: Thanx a million! [20:26] actionparnsip: i dl the tar but not sure how to do all of that step by step [20:26] hi - does anyone here know lubuntu? Does it run flash? [20:26] amaurea: try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall firefox" [20:26] ActionParsnip: like apt-get remove xulrunner firefox? That does not work, giving the same dependency error [20:26] I was reading the ubuntuforums and I have noticed there were many threads that Karmic kept freezing up [20:26] mka: that also gives the xul dependency error [20:27] So do you think I should downgrade to Jaunty? Is Jaunty stable ? [20:27] hi again [20:27] eddym: if you need serious handholding like this i recommend you use a ppa [20:27] AJH101: indeed it does: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Applications [20:27] actionparsnip: :-/ [20:27] amaurea: sudo apt-get remove firefox; sudo apt-get autoremove [20:27] steffan thank you [20:27] mka: ok ... tried to make some ad-hoc connection with my laptop ... but obsviously you can't connect to a wifi hotspot and be an ad-hoc host at the same time [20:27] amaurea: then "sudo apt-get autoremove firefox && sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install firefox" [20:27] !compile | eddym [20:28] eddym: Compiling software from source?

I tried reinstalling nautilus and gnome-mount, but it made no difference. My fstab entry has not been touched. When I insert a disc, nothing happens.

[20:29] and I have a desktop without any wifi card [20:30] nm-applet disappear after logout and re-login on karmic. anybody has idea ? [20:30] infiltration: oh, i never caught that [20:30] and I have some "box", hub or whatever on which i can plug several ethernet cables [20:30] IP-v6: add it to your startup items [20:30] ActionParsnip, mka: sudo apt-get autoremove firefox cannot remove firefox due to dependency problems [20:30] JerVA, if it freezes for you, report bugs and go back to Jaunty. And test Lucid early to make sure there are no such freezes [20:30] which have some wifi antenna as well [20:30] managed to get network back up [20:31] amaurea: you could always jump into /var/cache/apt/archives and use: sudo dpkg --force-all -i *.deb [20:31] infiltration, sounds like ethernet-wifi bridge [20:31] ActionParsnip: ok, I will try that. Looks a bit dangerous, though [20:31] amaurea: and a simpler "sudo apt-get remove firefox" ? [20:31] russkiye zdesj yest? [20:31] inquirer, #ubuntu-ru [20:31] mka: does not work either.

In that case, I will install a new firefox manually, and enable the proper branding myself [20:55] matematik: The default Thunar file manager in Xubuntu doesn't include netowrk support.

[21:58] yes [21:58] wawrzynek kaszubski [21:58] DelGurth: you dont get it do you [21:58] firefox in karmic crashes very often here.. is this a known issue? [21:59] im behind a router so ifconfig wont give me my public IP [21:59] when i click on computer, the hard disk is accessible [21:59] Delvien: you dont gdt it do you [21:59] there was an update of GRUB in Ubuntu 9.10. Is it worth to update GRUB or not? [21:59] and I cant use IP checking websites since its a server [21:59] a ja wole marichuane [21:59] jatt there are some bug reports for it. [21:59] always go back to the base to get the support from the ground up [21:59] Delvien: thanks will check the bugtracker [21:59] ZanQdo: What difference does that make? [21:59] alla lla bamnba [21:59] ArRaY: but what is this setup utility you are talking about? [21:59] ^ Delvien l [22:00] meowpup I get it just fine, it is you that should contact the proper channels, as there are subtle differences between the two distros. Forums + google will be your best bet. As in the ubuntu channel, it is a shot in the dark for those who will help you with a linux mint issue. [22:00] Flannel: you tell me, how can I know the public IP [22:00] znikam cze [22:00] gip: if you mean the update that asks you if you want to replace one of grubs files, just keep what you have, it only added two parenthesis to the default config file [22:00] the ubuntu 9.1 cd i downloaded from the ubuntu website [22:00] you can boot from it, and then it offers you to install ubuntu to your computer [22:00] #nihongo [22:01] hello. is ubuntus mplayer vdpau-ready? [22:01] jatt i experience FF crashes, specifically after coming from sleep or hibernate, but otherwise its fine [22:01] ZanQdo: curl http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp [22:01] Why is Computer Janitor useful? I heard it can destroy personal files by accident [22:01] Flannel: I have no webbrowser in the ubuntu server machine [22:02] gip: sorry I mean quotes [22:02] ZanQdo: You have curl, and actually, you have w3m too, if it's Ubuntu server. [22:02] ZanQdo: but, curl will work just fine. [22:02] ok [22:02] ArRaY: you should see it [22:02] polardude: if you dont like it dont use it [22:02] Hello! [22:02] trism: there were 2 files [22:02] the program is called ubiquity [22:02] polardude: seemlingly random, yes, if you have personal files in weird places. [22:03] ArRaY: I know about that [22:03] it's safe to disable apparmor in karmic? Why is it default now? [22:03] Ahh, just wondering [22:03] hi I have a problem with firefox, when I am watching a flashplayer movie and want put it in full screen, firefox closes itself [22:03] ArRaY: You should really see your filesystem [22:03] excuse me, what does this command mean? can you help me read it? ./configure [--prefix=/path/to/install] === Gad is now known as Lunja [22:03] what can be the problem?? [22:03] trism: I downloaded but did not install them [22:03] Number 1 rule polardude: "Always backup your data" [22:03] ArRaY: do you see other partitions on this disk? [22:03] gip: what two files? [22:03] computer/filesystem? [22:03] and then? [22:04] 2 files updating grub [22:04] ArRaY: filesystem [22:04] subichan: it will configure a program (presumably so that you can build/compile it afterwards). [22:04] I've tried using update-alternatives to make opening links in a tab in firefox my default browser (using x-www-browser) but it's not working. Should I be using something else? [22:04] ArRaY: partition [22:04] hi I have a problem with firefox, when I am watching a flashplayer movie and want put it in full screen, firefox closes itself, what can be the problem?? [22:04] where can i look that up [22:04] subichan: optionally, you can specify where the compiled program should be installed. [22:04] subichan: more importantly the "prefix" tells it where the program will be. [22:05] ArRaY: are you on live cd now? [22:05] kekos: replicate the situation . run firefox in a terminal, and pastebin the output when it crashes [22:05] yes [22:05] Hey can anyone tell me how I can go about filing a bug concerning the boot process taking ten minutes after an upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic? [22:05] and if I don't specify anything ? [22:05] Delvien, ok [22:05] gip: oh, I see, you mean two packages were updated (I think it was grub-pc and grub-common), yeah it is fine to update those [22:05] i want do 2 plots in R in one time, smth like plot1(), plot2(). whats the command? [22:05] ArRaY: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [22:05] ok [22:05] subichan: it will be installed in the default location [22:06] Hi. [22:06] whats the most efficient way to chop an image up to smaller pieces? [22:06] oh irc runs on my laptop while ubuntu runs on my pc xD so i can not paste [22:06] subichan: ./configure --help will often tell you more. [22:06] melik: use gimp, select>crop to selection, undo, rinse, repeat. [22:07] werdberd: are you sure its a bug? [22:07] melik or even, select > copy > paste > new layer or paste somewhere else [22:07] werdberd: 10 minutes is definitely a disaster [22:07] trism: exactly [22:07] fdisk -l outputs 2 disks, whith both 1 partition [22:07] Delvien, http://paste.ubuntu.com/314527/ [22:07] because when i then run make i get errors.. so i was wondering. could it be because i didn't specify a correct path? [22:07] that is correct [22:07] subichan: no. [22:07] kekos: karmic? === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [22:08] Well it's definitely something wrong... See, the thing is I have these two kernel options for resuming from hibernate using a swap file, and when those kernel options are used, the boot process takes ten minutes. And this didn't happen with Jaunty [22:08] subichan: the path will usually only come into play when you call make install. [22:08] karmic? [22:08] kekos: what ubuntu are you running? [22:08] ArRaY: what is correct? [22:08] trism: but I was asked if I want to keep what I have or to use the new files [22:08] Delvien, is it possible to do perfect crops? because its for a web layout [22:08] 9.10 [22:08] ubuntu 9.10 [22:08] kekos: 9.10 == karmic [22:09] the output of fdisk matches what I expected [22:09] ok [22:09] subichan: also, you could have said so right away... and please give some details about what you are trying to build and what errors you encounter. [22:09] :) [22:09] ArRaY: so how many filesystems do you have? [22:09] kekos: are you running KDE? [22:09] i already did something similar before and since it didn't work i was told i should install build-essential... I then did install it and it worked.. but now for this other make run i can't make it work.. ok thank you xt28 i'll provide you with details right away, thank you [22:09] gnome [22:09] gip: yeah, that's what I thought you were talking about, the default config file's only change is that they added two quotes, so if you didn't change the default, then it is up to you whether you want to replace it or keep yours...I think keeping yours is probably safest [22:09] fdisk says 2 [22:10] sda1 and sdb1 [22:10] melik: You can cut it all up and then segment the pieces. it wouldnt be hard. [22:10] melik do 1/2 then 1/2 then 1/2 the halves [22:10] ndercity.net [22:10] subichan: often, this will be because you are missing necessary *-dev packages. [22:10] while sda1 is my vista drive and sdb1 the drive i want ubuntu to install it self to [22:10] why is it [22:11] melik if you get what im saying :) [22:11] kekos sec [22:11] how i can define a path in nvironmet variable? how i can link the variable qt dir at the path /usr/share/qt3? [22:11] You should use Xubuntu [22:11] !encoder [22:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about encoder [22:11] so, i accidentally mv'ed my desktop into a video file... how do i fix my desktop? i created a new Desktop folder in ~/ but stuff i put in there doesn't show up on my desktop [22:11] a few days ago, I had the same problem with the addon cooliris, then I uninstall firefox and install it again [22:11] hello. is ubuntus mplayer vdpau-ready? how am i sure that video is accelerated??? [22:11] killsig.inf.apt.get.def [22:12] I started a thread about it in the forums ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8281275 ) but apparently the forum people are stumped about my problem [22:12] xt28 i think problems are related to files called gzfilebuf.h, zlib.h [22:12] yeah i got it [22:12] how can assit me in setting up my internet connection ( static ip ) i tried 1 h from google and nothing :( [22:12] jhuu [22:12] should i paste this into a website and post the link? [22:12] Koltor_: you did *what*? also, have you tried logging out and back in? [22:13] hello [22:13] kekos: but it was working before you reinstalled firefox? [22:13] !hello [22:13] 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! [22:13] can someone please help me? [22:13] Ben_90: just ask your question [22:13] i need an guru in networking :( [22:14] when i try to test my screensavers they are all garbled. [22:14] Koltor_: If you know what mv command you did to move the desktop, just do the mv the other way around [22:14] !ask | mnml [22:14] mnml: 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. :-) [22:14] Delvian, I did not try it before, I installed the addons and it didn't work so I uninstall it. [22:14] is there any method i can force ubuntu to install to a specific disk? [22:14] Ben_90: what video card do you have [22:14] kekos you uninstalled FF or the addons? [22:14] my display adaptor is an intel 815e graphics chipset [22:14] firefox [22:14] ArRaY: you can use custom partitioning and set the mount point for the partitions you create [22:15] kekos: have you done updates lately? [22:15] The two kernel options that seem to make the system take ten minutes to boot are resume= and resume_offset= Anyone have any ideas? [22:15] yes I just did [22:15] subichan: i am not running ubuntu right now, but here's what i'd do: look for packages with zlib or gz in their names and install the corresponding -dev packages. also: read the README, INSTALL or whatever file and see what dependencies it lists. [22:15] ArRaY: ubuntu will install in the disk you tell it too. [22:15] kekos hmm [22:15] how do i install a dev package? [22:15] relogging worked, thanks xt28 [22:15] through synaptic? [22:15] subichan: yes. [22:15] my screensavers are misbehaving [22:15] ok thank you [22:16] could it be for a package absent?? I might have forgotten some [22:16] ersul: that is my problem, it does not give me the option to install to the drive i want it to [22:16] subichan: or aptitude or apt-get or ... (use synaptic, though, if you're familiar with that.) [22:16] ArRaY: what drive do you want to use as the target? [22:16] ArRaY: use custom partitioning [22:16] delvian? [22:16] ArRaY: anything special about that disk ? is in a weird controller? is usb? [22:16] nope [22:16] ok thank you xt28 very kind of you [22:17] subichan: no problem. [22:17] internal sata 160gb samsung drive [22:17] kekos: do you have swflash or the proprietary flash plugin installed? [22:17] Or can anyone at least tell me how I should file a bug report about this? [22:17] ArRaY: yes, custom partitioning would be what you want. [22:17] Koltor: no problem. glad it worked! [22:17] delvien? [22:17] !bug | werdberd [22:17] werdberd: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [22:17] stuff like configure and make are linux commands or are these external programs? [22:17] I think I have installed both [22:17] the palimpsest window says disk ok, 1 partition [22:18] Ben_90 sorry, was in a flurry of pms [22:18] the disk is empty. I want ubuntu to install to this empty disk [22:18] subichan: make is part of build-essential [22:18] delvien: how do i fix my misbehaving graphics? [22:18] this is why i do not need more then 1 partition on this disk [22:18] i need custom eth0 ( static ip , mac , subnet mask , gateway , dns servers.... ) , i tried a lot and doesnt worked [22:18] subichan: configure will be in the archive of the source you extract [22:18] Ben_90: what is happening? are you seeing artifacts? [22:19] subichan: i'm not sure i understand that question... what do you mean by "linux commands" and "external programs"? [22:19] delvien: no [22:19] configure is a script? === asder is now known as Kira [22:19] kekos uninstall both and install the proprietary plugin only === Kira is now known as asder [22:19] Ben_90: what are you seeing then? [22:19] subichan: yes. [22:19] ok [22:19] I've used update-alternatives --config x-www-browser to select firefox as the default browser, but --display shows konq as the 'best' version and clickin on a link in the konsole brings up konq. How do I make it so that firefox is used to bring up links? [22:19] ArRaY: you could have a swap space if you need it, i advise a seperate home partition [22:19] Last night my system was working just fine. This morning I was watching a video and all of a sudden my system froze. When I rebooted i got a kernel panic error that it couldn't boot into the root FS or something. Has anyone else been affected by this today? I don't think I have updated in the last week either. [22:19] what language is it written in? sorry i'm completely new to linux [22:19] subichan: usually, it will be a shell script. [22:20] delvien: do you know what a tv looks like when the horizontal hold is way off? [22:20] harleypig: go into FF and go to options, in advanced ( IRRC) hit checknow for default browser [22:20] o/ [22:20] Ben_90: bendy : [22:20] ok i see thanks [22:20] i kep getting this error: Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0". anyone able to help solve this? running fglrx [22:20] subichan: so, probably written for bash or sh (dash). [22:20] subichan: configure will be written in bash most likely (maybe python). the make file will most likely be written in C or C++ [22:20] delvien: yes but only in window mode but the rest is fine and visible [22:20] ActionParsnip: I could do that later or? my main problem is that I am not able to choose the hdd as an installation location [22:21] hey guys. all of a sudden the universal access preferences icon is now in the systray...is there a way to remove and stop this?> === John is now known as Guest61671 [22:21] Ben_90: not really sure then, seems to be alot of bug reports relating to gnome-screensaver package [22:21] Delvien: get a popup window stating it's already the default browser [22:21] harleypig: you mentioned konq, KDE i assume? [22:21] subichan: more explanation: dev packages contain the files that are needed to build a program that depends on another package. they are called [packagename]-dev in ubuntu (and debian). [22:21] delvien:should i use the xfce screensaver system? [22:21] ArRaY: i'd read through dmesg | less to see whats going on during the boot, your sata controller may need special drivers compiling or boot options to help things along [22:21] Delvien: yeah [22:22] What package(s) should I look into to throttle my cousins bandwidth on a shared connection to the net? === asder is now known as WolVenom [22:22] Ben_90: you very well could if that works for you, but im not sure how you would accomplish it :) [22:22] subichan: to run the program, you need to have [packagename], to build it, you need [packagename]-dev. [22:22] !info tc [22:22] Package tc does not exist in karmic [22:22] doesnt the installer have a predefined partition scheme that will make seperate partitions for /home, /tmp and /root? [22:22] harleypig: You may want to check with the #kubuntu guys, they could know a work around or could of experienced that too [22:22] Delvien: ok, thx. [22:22] ok it makes sense :) [22:22] hi guys!!! who know how can i join to ubuntu developers team or just soft developers for ubuntu (gnome and may be kde) ??? [22:23] harleypig: sorry :) [22:23] delvien: lets go into a pm. [22:23] Guest61671: you could configure the router better if it permits it, you mnay have to install some apps on his/her system so it uses less speed [22:23] Delvien: :] np [22:23] !info iproute | Guest61671 [22:23] Guest61671: iproute (source: iproute): networking and traffic control tools. In component main, is important. Version 20090324-1 (karmic), package size 369 kB, installed size 968 kB [22:23] subichan: all this dependency resolution is done automatically by APT (e.g., synaptic), which is what a package manager is for. but when you build your own packages, you need to do some of it yourself. [22:23] can i pass ubiquity some kind of parameter to force it to install to sdb1? [22:23] Guest61671: traffic control is hard in linux... dunno if there are easy to use front ends [22:24] Thanks. That should be enough help to get me googling [22:24] ActionParsnip: but the drive does work normally! I am able to create and delete partitions with the ubuntu live cd, i can store files and mount and dismount it... [22:24] ArRaY: ok, but the installer cannot see it? [22:24] Delvian, it is still the same [22:24] i was wondering though, after you install something in ubuntu with make install, how do you uninstall it? [22:25] Hello, how can I drag and drop or copy any launcher from the applications menu to the desktop? I am using xfce and I don't know how to that... [22:25] subichan: ah, yes. [22:25] ActionParsnip I have an Idea [22:25] iceroot Hey, i did as you said and more but having probs with xserver. [22:25] subichan: usually make uninstall works. you should learn about checkinstall, though. [22:25] probando: right click the item and select copy launcher to desktop [22:25] is anybody listen me ? =(( thx.. [22:26] iceroot xorg.conf was moved as old. The backup was moved as xorg.conf. [22:26] RaXOR: ask in #ubuntu-motu becoming motu may be a good start [22:26] ActionParsnip: not on xfce, right click opens the application [22:26] thx [22:26] i kep getting this error: Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0". anyone able to help solve this? running fglrx [22:26] !motu | RaXOR [22:26] RaXOR: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [22:26] I have some keybindings in compiz that let me switch to a specific workspace in gnome that are also defined in the gnome keybinds interface (apparently). I can't seem to get these keys to work with the 'Desktop Wall' however they do work with the Cube. I don't want the Cube (because it cant handle a 3x3 workspace grid, only #x1). Is there any solution for this? [22:27] masters of the universe... [22:27] it should be masters of the MULTIverse [22:27] probando: you could copy the .desktop file from /usr/share/applications to the desktop (or symlink) [22:27] thank you again! [22:27] subichan: checkinstall will take the "make install" command and build a .deb package instead of installing the files. this package you can then install with dpkg or (what was it called) gdebi (or so), so that it will be under the control of the package manager. [22:28] xt28: that sounds nice [22:28] Hello, World! [22:28] !checkinstall [22:28] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [22:29] subichan: what erUSUL said. or rather ubottu. [22:29] xt28 hi, have a prob with xserver not loading [22:29] hey [22:30] my hard drive was part of a raid system some time ago [22:30] ok now the program is compiling.. i needed zlib-dev [22:30] ArRaY__: that may affect stuff [22:30] subichan: nice job! [22:30] even tough it is properly formatted and partitioned, the ubuntu installer does not recognize it [22:30] code: shoot! [22:30] ActionParsnip, thanks, now I can do that, but I don't know if the person I am going to install xubuntu (old person, not very computer friendly) will remember it... any easier solution? any way to make the darg and drop option to appear? [22:30] I formated it about 5 times since then [22:30] it's all thanks to you guys, really [22:31] what sort of throughput rates are reasonable to expect with USB 802.11 adapters? [22:31] probando: not sure, could ask in #xubuntu [22:31] ActionParsnip, I've done it, but no one answer there... [22:31] xt28 Did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. Then xorg.conf was moved as old. The backup was moved as xorg.conf. [22:31] probando: or in #xfce [22:32] awozniak: a b g or n ? wireless is allways hard to predict. Signal quality can vary for a multitude of external reasons [22:32] there is a folder called lost and found [22:32] Hello, was was the command ti show file persisions in the terminal? [22:32] xt28 gdm restarted [22:32] what does that mean [22:32] probando: just ask what main use they want, once its setup they won't change much [22:32] subichan: i'm glad i could help you. [22:32] AmokPaule: ls -l [22:33] ty :) [22:33] ArRaY__: its where files get when they get a bit corrupted and recovered afaik [22:33] can anyone recommend a gui for adding users and setting permissions? [22:33] Hey there I'm having some trouble with the cairo-dock, I want to use the openGL mode, but I get a black box background for it. If I enable the emulate composition with fake transparency option that problem is fixed, but the auto hiding behaves incorrectly (stays behind other windows. Running from terminal I get the following: http://pastebin.com/d2b9137e [22:33] erUSUL: 802.11b [22:33] !adduser | rosco_y [22:33] rosco_y: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [22:33] xt28 No response. So then did startx. This displayed some a message [22:33] the folder is empty [22:33] kunji, in order to get rid of the black box you need to have eigher compiz running or metacity compositing [22:33] could it be that this folder prevents me from installing to the disk? [22:33] awozniak: b tops at 11 Mib iirc [22:34] kunji, either compiz for metacity compositing [22:34] Thank you ActionParsnip [22:34] ArRaY__: you could format the partitions manually, see if that helps [22:34] coz_: compiz is running [22:34] kunji, take a screend shot and upload to picpaste.com [22:34] ActionParsnip: did it 3 times in the last 5 mins [22:34] xt28 It said, Xkbcomp - Reports: Type (one_level) has 1 level, but RALT has 2 symbols [22:34] coz_: sure, just a sec. [22:34] now the partition sdb1 is ext4, bootable [22:35] ArRaY__: you could use a disk scrubber on the ultimate boot cd to wipe the disk completely (inc any raid stuff) [22:35] ultimate boot cd? [22:35] hello can anyone support about incron? [22:35] erUSUL: I misspoke. 802.11g. I know g tops at 54 Mbps, but I'm seeing nowhere near that. I realize lots of things have an effect, but I've never seen more than 16Mbps, and I'm wondering if there are other driver/hardware limits. I'm most intersted in other people's experiences. [22:35] ArRaY__: yep, its a swiss army knife of tools [22:36] ActionParsnip: where do I get it^^ [22:36] awozniak: those are mega BITS per second, not bytes [22:36] you can see on pastebin: f614d8413 and f4f1a71e [22:36] ArRaY__: www.ultimatebootcd.com [22:36] !incron [22:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about incron [22:36] awozniak: well for some time my driver needed that i set speed by hand doing « sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M » [22:36] !incrond [22:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about incrond [22:36] !incrontab [22:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about incrontab [22:36] kunji, there yet ? ") [22:36] awozniak: becouse by default it negotiated very low speeds [22:37] ActionParsnip: to time consuming to get it now [22:37] awozniak: thats all data too which includes parity and checksumming etc, so the actual data is much less but should be somewhere close [22:37] coz_: here http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_4.png [22:37] ActionParsnip: tomorrow perhaps [22:37] code: do you even need an xorg.conf? nowadays, X usually works without one. [22:37] ArRaY__: thats ll i can think of if the raid info is breaking stuff [22:37] kunji, compiz is not running === asder is now known as WolVenom [22:37] ActionParsnip: I am not sure if it is^^ [22:37] ArRaY__: could find a bootable disk eraser tool [22:37] I cannot seem to play video on youtube or on this site: http://www.foodtv.ca/video/ [22:38] ArRaY__: otherwise i'm not sure [22:38] xt28 RALT was an option i selected during reconfig of xserver. So which option would work apart from RALT? [22:38] coz_:...? Yes it, what leads you to believe it is not? [22:38] ActionParsnip: could I just copy the contents of the installation disk to the disk and try to boot it? [22:38] kunji, when there is a black box like that around cairo dock that means "absolutely" that no compositor is running [22:38] ActionParsnip: probably not? [22:38] xt28 this is a new install and i dont know much about gui. [22:39] kunji, if compiz starts automatically for you log off...then log back on [22:39] kunji, then in terminal ps ax | grep compiz [22:39] xt28 so im just trying to make sense of how to get gui back as it was [22:39] Hi all. SO I was wondering. Is it really hard to share folders with Ubuntu or am I just daf? [22:39] hi i am having trouble playing warzone2100 it is installed and will not activate. i have also tried to open in synaptic and get this error "warzone2100: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libGLC.so.0: undefined symbol: __glewBufferDataARB" [22:39] ArRaY__: you could copy the iso to the disk and edit grub2 to boot the ISO file... [22:39] is there a system folder where users can place things like source files so that other users can access them as well? [22:39] ActionParsnip: I do not have grub installed currently^^ [22:40] xt28 did you see pastebin. What do you suggest? [22:40] ArRaY__: you can install it from live cd [22:40] ActionParsnip: i will now try to install to my netbook... [22:40] NetEcho: yes obcorse. i cant remember where it is atm [22:40] NetEcho, http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/05/19/how-to-share-files-and-folders-in-ubuntu/ [22:40] ActionParsnip: oh I just restarted to vista [22:40] code: this is just a wild guess, but try renaming xorg.conf to something else (mv -i /etc/xorg.conf /etc/xorg.conf.bak) and restarting gdm (invoke-rc.d gdm restart). [22:41] NetEcho: set up a folder yourself for eample in /home/share <<< make it of the group all users are in (you can create one for that) [22:41] ArRaY__: no not windozzy blista [22:41] kunji, did you restart x or log off and log back on? [22:41] coz_: Both compiz is running and I've tried enabling compositing in Metacity, here it is: http://pastebin.com/d3c565279 [22:41] xt28 if xorg.conf is not needed how should it be on jaunty? [22:41] coz_ not what I'm looking for, I'm trying to share source files and theme files between all users sort of like how some distros use /usr/local/src [22:41] I have the Flash-nonfree installed but still no video [22:41] why not? [22:42] NetEcho: that same as ubuntu [22:42] erUSUL I guess that could work [22:42] NetEcho, ok then I am not sure other than using ubuntu one or dropbox but that is a bit different I believe [22:42] meowpup nope, permission denied [22:42] code: how should what be on jaunty? [22:42] opposed to ubuntu it works [22:42] kunji, meet me in #cairo-dock [22:42] NetEcho: are you sudo when you try that [22:42] coz_: already there. [22:42] meowpup why would I be sudo if I want non-admins to be able to access it [22:43] heya. so how do i change topic for a channel i want to start? [22:43] to move files like that you need to be sudo thats y permission denyed. you are not sudo. remember sudo is admin [22:43] ^ NetEcho [22:43] meowpup as I said I want non-admin users to be able to do this [22:43] !it [22:43] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [22:43] I don't want to be adding sudo entries for every user on this system [22:44] !pulseaudio [22:44] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [22:44] NetEcho: ok i see cant help you there. in my experance they cant [22:44] delvien:? [22:44] Maybe not solvable in Ubuntu? [22:45] NetEcho: do as i said. create a group with a suitable name (developers ? ) make a folder under home . chgrp to developers de folder then set the setguid bit on the folder so all files created within inherit the group [22:45] NetEcho: non-admins can stuff os its a safeguard. you have to maby configure settings to allow them access to that folder only [22:45] how can i check the current rights for a certain folder? [22:45] Bookman: can you provide a pastebin of the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf [22:45] erUSUL I'll tinker with it [22:45] xt28 you said if xorg.conf is needed. x works without nowadays? [22:45] subichan: ls -la folder [22:46] NetEcho: that about all i know sorry i cant help more [22:46] btw where is the setting to re-enable Ctrl+Alt+Backspace in Karmic? [22:46] NetEcho: you can do more adanced things with ACL if the need arises [22:46] Anyone who knows how to make terminals _really_ transparent in (x)ubuntu? [22:46] NetEcho: no [22:46] Now I can see my wallpaper through them, but not underlying windows [22:46] And the background lags while I move the terminal windows around. [22:46] hoeq: you need compiz or other compositting running [22:47] code: yes. X usually works fine without an xorg.conf file. [22:47] thank you [22:47] erUSUL: hmm... ok [22:47] ActionParsnip: V [22:47] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ca/1664125 [22:47] can someone tell me the difference between ping -M dont and ping -M want ? [22:47] hoeq: System>Preferences>appearance || effects tab [22:47] one more thing.. i see something called install-sh inside the folder .. isn't that supposed to be an installation script of some sort? [22:48] Bookman: too many plugins dude, thats why you are geting nothing. you only want one plugin, adding more gets you nothing [22:48] erUSUL: will it work in xfce? [22:48] The menus are a bit different. [22:48] @find digital juice [22:49] hoeq: i heard you can run compiz + xfce but never done it so... ask in #xubuntu [22:49] ok so the answer... I copied the playlist I wanted into a text file from within $HOME/.local/share/rhythmbox [22:49] ActionParsnip: that is the source of the problem. The solution is? [22:49] hi where i can download netboot file for ubuntu desktop...? [22:49] erUSUL: ok, will do [22:49] hoeq: i know ubuntu + compiz + gnome-terminal ---> true transparency [22:49] for pxe server [22:49] Bookman: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree libswfdec-0.8-0 swfdec-gnome; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [22:49] xt28 so whats the way to go forward. I used startx last time and (xkbcomp) showed messages about RALT not be the correct option. It has 2 symbols, but type (one_level) has 1 level? [22:49] hoeq: using irssi on terminal i see the banshee window behind even the moving controls [22:49] subichan: install.sh? it probably is. why? [22:49] from there I did sed s/"file:\/\/"/""/g test.songs | sed s/"<\/location>"/""/g | sed s/"\%20"/"\ "/g >> temp.songs [22:50] and then using that was able to do IFS=$'\n' ; for i in set $(cat songs.test) ; do cp "$i" /media/KINGSTON/ ; done [22:50] heya. so how do i change topic for a channel i want to start? [22:50] is it worth putting more than one linux os on a 20gig hdd [22:50] because i'm trying to issue the command make install and i was wondering what that install-sh is for then [22:50] brandonc503: /topic newtopic goes here [22:50] i have a problem with ubuntu 9.10. whenever i install packages like g++, hardware drivers, the message "Please insert cd ubuntu 9.10.." or something like that.. but when i insert the installation cd (which created a dual OS), it says the same thing.. i can't connect to internet because i cant install the wireless drivers.. can someone help me? [22:50] erUSUL: ok, I am now using irssi in terminal with firefox behind it, I still see only my desktop behind it. [22:51] erUSUL do i have to register the channel to become moderator or something? [22:51] meowpup: sure [22:51] brandonc503: disable the cdrom as source in System>admin>software sources [22:51] !list [22:51] subichan: it might be called by make install. impossible to tell without details, though. [22:51] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [22:51] brandonc503: ask in #freenode the details [22:51] thanks [22:51] subichan: have you consulted the README/INSTALL/whatever document? [22:51] brandonc503: there is some policy you have to respect [22:51] when i do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart my machine always get stuck on ntpd start and doesn move how do i solve this problem? [22:51] code: have you tried what i suggested above? [22:52] batang_g: disable the cdrom as source in System>admin>software sources [22:52] what's the command to list sound card's that are installed on a computer? [22:52] yeah the readme says to run make install.. but unfortunately neither that nor checkinstall is working because it says it doesn't have permission to create certain files [22:52] batang_g: sorry that does no solve your problem ... [22:52] how can i act if i get this message? "Sorry, your browser is not Java enabled, please visit our java support pages " [22:52] anyone have idea [22:53] guys, how can i connect to my school's server from ubuntu?? [22:53] mrXX: which protocol ? [22:53] subichan: did you read the wiki page that erUSUL pointed out? [22:53] mgv1: install sun-java6-plugin [22:53] erUSUL dont know, the server has windows server 2003 and i have ubuntu [22:53] mrXX: rdesktop ? [22:54] !rdesktop [22:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about rdesktop [22:54] !samba [22:54] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [22:54] erUSUL, sudo install sun-java-plugin? [22:54] Aplication>Internet>Terminal server client [22:54] erUSUL, or from the manager? [22:54] mgv1: yes is sun-java6-plugin [22:54] subichan: the problem is that you probably need root permissions to install these files. hence, sudo make install. or, better yet, checkinstall (with the correct options - i forget). [22:54] xt28 was waiting to get reply, but instead of using invoke-rc.d can i use /etc/init.d/gdm restart? [22:54] !it [22:54] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [22:54] code: sure. [22:54] mgv1: it is up to you what method to use [22:55] code: invoke-rc.d just does that anyway. [22:55] code: it's just more debian-ish... [22:55] erUSUL: i tried that b4, the same thing happens, thanks anyway [22:55] I just want to access my files in the schools server [22:55] erUSUL, is it risky to use it? [22:55] i'll read the page now to see the options, thank you again [22:55] mgv1: to use what? [22:55] xt28 thanks, doing it. will boot out of vista & into jaunty [22:55] erUSUL, the applet [22:56] erUSUL, the plugin [22:56] mgv1: dunno; all softare can have a bug. [22:56] subichan: no problem. [22:56] erUSUL , dude i want connect to the school's server to get my files, not connecting to the desktop, how can i do it? [22:56] this looks pretty hopeless though [22:56] erUSUL , tsclient says can't connect [22:57] now i got a message i can't really decipher.. sigh [22:57] erUSUL, ok - i will use it with no script unless needed [22:57] subichan: what looks hopeless? [22:57] I'm having problems with sound on certain applications, anyone think they can help? [22:57] I have some keybindings in compiz that let me switch to a specific workspace in gnome that are also defined in the gnome keybinds interface (apparently). I can't seem to get these keys to work with the 'Desktop Wall' however they do work with the Cube. I don't want the Cube (because it cant handle a 3x3 workspace grid, only #x1). Is there any solution for this? [22:57] subichan: if you have sucessfully run "make" you're almost there. [22:57] mrXX: i dunno is a ftp server? a web server? [22:57] does ubuntu provide free nvidia accelerated drivers ? Or do I have to use the proprietary ones? [22:57] cp: impossible to create the regular file NONE/bin: no file or directory [22:57] subichan: post the message? [22:57] ftp server i guess erUSUL [22:58] TheGentleman: the question usually is; do you want 3d or not? [22:58] mrXX: yu should ask an admin or someone who can tell you the details of the protocols to use etc... [22:58] subichan: it really says "NONE" there? [22:58] lol yeah it does [22:58] NONE/bin [22:58] yes I do want 3d Industrial [22:58] weird huh [22:58] mrXX: then Places>Connect to Server or a ftpclient ike filezilla or gftp [22:58] subichan: that suggests that some path is misconfigured. [22:58] TheGentleman: ubuntu has some.. which are preferable if they work for your card/hardware.. I have one machine that works fine this way.. the other needs the propriatory drivers direct from nvidia.. [22:58] I'm trying to set up a network interface with a manual IP. I set it all up in Network Connections but nothing has actually been applied... There's no option to start the interface and ifup doesn't work [22:58] I can't get sound on skype or pidgin and can't make calls because of it [22:59] what's a good wifi client, i'm having problems with the one i use (wifi radar) [22:59] I got the sound working in the past [22:59] eekee: try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [22:59] Scunizi, which are those and how do I install? [22:59] i have a simillar problem [22:59] subichan: did you say "./configure" or "./configure --prefix=" ? [22:59] erUSUL thanks, i will try with ftp : - I used to be able to access easily from windows though, but dont know what protocol === |Myxb| is now known as Myxb [22:59] TheGentleman: which ones? the ubuntu one's or the direct from nvidia one's? [22:59] ./configure only [23:00] mrXX: what program you used? any browser such as firefox can use ftp [23:00] im really not sure what to do with my microphne - it doesnt seems to work well and i want to try boosting it but ont sure how [23:00] can anyone help? [23:00] Scunizi, i mean the ubuntu ones (or any other free 3d drivers for nvidia) [23:00] mrXX: just put ftp://schoolserver.whatever.edu [23:00] Scunizi: no change [23:00] Does anyone here know how to use VMBuilder to create jeos VMs? [23:00] erUSUL i used to connect through windows network [23:00] I need assistance [23:00] before, when I wanted to make calls with skype, I couldn't run anything else with sound [23:01] I'm not sure how to find the root of the problem [23:01] TheGentleman: after you do a full update to your system go to System>Admin>hardware drivers they should be listed there for activation. [23:01] erUSUL it is actually a local server, not www server i think, we have user names in the computer lab and then we access the computer with our files in it [23:01] mrXX: !? over internet? or is a LAN or VPN ? [23:01] eekee: reboot? [23:01] i think it's this .. not that i really understand what it means: cp $p NONE/bin ;\ [23:01] Scunizi: /etc/network/interfaces hasn't changed in several days [23:01] erUSUL i guess it must be lan [23:01] subichan: well, yes. it shouldn't say NONE there. it should most probably say /usr [23:01] Scunizi: i can see only the nvidia prprietary ones there [23:01] subichan: did you change the prefix when you configured? [23:02] mrXX: if it is in a Lan then probably is Samba. You can use Places>Connect to Server (but use SMB) or Places>Network>Windows Network [23:02] Scunizi: ok rebooting [23:02] not at all [23:02] i need custom eth0 ( static ip , mac , subnet mask , gateway , dns servers.... ) , i tried a lot and doesnt worked [23:02] i just typed ./configure [23:02] TheGentleman: those are the one's I mean.. the others I mentioned are directly from nvidia's site.. for newer cards that method is sometimes neccessary. [23:02] erUSUL the windows network says unable to retrieve the list of wervers [23:02] you imply i might have erroneously typed ./configure --prefix= ? [23:02] sup peeps, without installing ubuntu-restricted-extras...id like to install just the package that enables brasero to handle .mp3 [23:03] i see... ok, thanks Scunizi [23:03] i'll try again in case i did that and can't remember [23:03] tech-mike: maybe with "lame" [23:03] so, no free 3d drivers for nvidia yet.... [23:03] can anyone help with the microphone boosting to see if its ok or need a repair for a lot of money? [23:03] Scunizi: which package specificaly to lame [23:03] mrXX: then i dunno...

[23:04] TheGentleman: well .. free yes.. but propriatory.. the alternative is nv and another oss driver that I can't remember.. but for 3d glx etc.. propriatory [23:04] is it possible to increase a picture size quite a bit and get it to look close to the original?

[23:05] xt28 lol it's no problem, i mean, i could have done that as i'm really new to this, but i can't really remember.. lemme try to redo the whole thing [23:05] Scunizi: installing - ill let u know [23:05] ok thanks again Scunizi :) btw i meant free as free speach, not as free beer [23:05] behappy: spidermonkey-bin I think [23:05] i changed /interfaces and now when i ipconfig it shows me only lo , the eth0 has gone.. why ? [23:05] upgraded from jaunty to karmic, and now my sound isn't working. lsmod lists snd-hda-intel (driver for my card) loaded properly, but aplay -l says no soundcards found [23:05] hey [23:05] could it be the developers actually never put a default case? [23:06] TheGentleman: I figured.. but had to be clear [23:06] ok [23:06] at some point i saw a gnome-based prog to edit latex that is almost as cool as kile for kde [23:06] anybody know it? [23:06] Scunizi: didnt help [23:06] trism, did you try it ? [23:06] * Scunizi 's fingers feel like sausages today [23:06] Scunizi: no joy. ifconfig -a lists the interface (eth2) but it's not up and sudo ifup eth2 reports "Ignoring unknown interface eth2=eth2" [23:06] eekee: someone better than me will have to solve this one. [23:07] Scunizi: oke ty for trying [23:07] behappy: no I just searched the repo, although I may have run it before [23:07] subichan: absolutely. [23:07] tech-mike: which program are you trying to get mp3 working on? [23:07] eekee, what were you trying to do again? [23:07] what would happen if i just took some .deb package done for ubuntu 9.04 and used it with the netbook remix ? [23:07] tried reinstalling alsa, but no avail [23:07] brasero [23:07] anyone have any tips on why alsa wouldnt detect soundcard but drivers load fine? [23:08] tech-mike: arg.. why not step across to k3b? [23:08] Is anyone well versed in Gizmod?? [23:08] Fishscene: set up a network interface. I tried to use Network Connections [23:08] subichan: 9.04 netbook remix? i am not sure, but i think it should be fine. [23:08] 9.10 netbook remix [23:08] Hi all [23:08] Scunizi: because its a KDE app [23:08] that's why i've desisted [23:08] subichan: and there is no 9.10 package? [23:08] i just have a small question to all of you wine-gamers [23:08] no [23:08] subichan: i'd probably try the 9.04 package first then.

[23:09] Scunizi: ive had it working fine b4 in 9.04 but i had the restricted extras package which includes alot installed...and this time i just want what i need and what im actually going to use [23:09] Where do I turn notifications on/off? also, I assume Pidgin supports this? [23:09] Am i the only one that had severe performance issues in ubuntu 9.10 ? Games that rum perfect like Quake 4 doesnt even work with 9.10 with same wine verion. [23:10] subichan: if that does not work, try ./configure --prefix=/usr, or, preferably, --prefix=/usr/local [23:10] Fishscene: ah, you edit /etc/network/intefaces? I was trying to avoid that and also kinda expected Network Connections to, you know, work ;) [23:11] tech-mike: maybe there's a way to download the package, unpack it and see what's in there that might be downloadable as a stand alone package [23:11] Cant seem to find the command to upgrade to 9.10 from 9.04 from cli can someone please toss it this way? [23:11] hello. firefox won't load youtube videos for me :( i just get a black screen in place of the video, and play and pause dont work, and the red bar that usually loads it up isnt loading. any ideas why this could be? i have been playing around with shockwave trying to get it to work but i dont know if this could be the cause of the problem? [23:11] I've edited /etc/network/intefaces before, I didn't enjoy it, lol [23:11] eekee: I've had weird problems with network (wired) interfaces in Ubuntu 9.10 (Like it refuses to manage the port, even though it is configured correctly) [23:12] Vipan, No. But diff users seem to have diff problems.

[23:49] furuno: that's not relevant I think [23:49] JoeSomebody: very likely, I think that ubuntu chooses to put the boot file on the MBR byb default, so you wouldn't need to do anything special [23:49] !medibuntu | night1ne [23:49] night1ne: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [23:49] yeah yeah, I know all of that.
