[00:00] Hi all. I've just finished installing ubuntu on a new laptop. I'm now wondering how to get my data from my old hard disk to my new one. The old /home is an ext3 partition which I access via usb, and the user id has changed (was 501, now 1000). What would you advice me ? Copy then chown -R ? [00:00] resno_: should not [00:00] resno_: no, but thats no excuse not to backup first :) [00:00] resno_ : nope [00:01] What's the difference between the ubuntu-desktop metapackage and the ubuntu-desktop task? [00:01] grub will be able to pick up everything? [00:01] ngirard: that would work [00:01] resno_ : yes [00:01] ngirard: Or chown then copy; either way should be fine.

Isn't there a magical option to mount.ext3 that would translate the old user id to the new one, by chance ? [00:03] ngirard: maybe [00:03] ngirard: no; but chowning is fast and there is no dwonsides (we are not talking chmod here and this are not system files). just "chown -R $USER:$USER folder/" === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [00:04] when I ping my ubuntu machine it resolves to the public IP address [00:04] from another machine [00:04] JoeSomebody: If you pick the largest free space then windows and anything else you have installed will be fine.

[00:04] yessss ubuntu finally understands my laptop webcam in 9.10! all hw is now officially supported [00:04] i luvvvvv ubuntu [00:05] i still love my ubuntu 9.04 :P [00:05] i upgraded today [00:05] me too, 9.04 *much* more stable for my h/w [00:05] from 9.04, which i also loved :p [00:05] ok thx [00:05] I am using ubuntu K.K.: How do I set my keyring to auto-login and stop asking me for the password? [00:05] 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? [00:05] What command do I use to find out what port a USB device is on? [00:05] erUSUL: Yeah, fair enough. I'll keep it simple. erUSUL, tonyyarusso : thank you guys for your feedback !

[00:06] furuno, I tried that but I don't know how to tell the ports [00:07] Okay, where exactly do I get pasuspender? [00:07] tonyyarusso: yes, probably. I remember such kind of option existed but couldn't find it on the mount side.

[00:10] furuno, LG 9100 cell phone [00:11] Industrial: I'm pretty sure you can do the same keybindings with either/both if you set them right [00:11] Industrial: For Cube, you probably want to look in the Rotate Cube plugin as opposed to Desktop Cube [00:12] Hi [00:12] anyone else have that banding on graphics especially gradients? [00:12] soreau: i dont want the cube :p I cant find/get it with the wall. [00:12] anyone can help me with external hard drive? [00:12] Industrial: Ah, well can you please ask in #compiz?

But I can't tell what the port is [00:13] ace_ : have you checked the /dev ? [00:13] Yes [00:14] ok. I don't have access to my ex hard drive, and the disk utility show fat32 when II remember formating it to NTFS.

[00:19] thanks [00:20] seth_, if you turn autologic off and login normally - it won't ask you for the keyring password, it's a cache22 -- i think you have to type you password one way or the other. good luck man.

Don't like it then either resize windows normally or don't use twinview. [00:22] mldlg : but, if you don't want somebody to acces your files from windows, try naminb the folder "con" [00:22] mldlg : pretty funny [00:22] m1dlg: permissions/ownership on vfat fs are "faked" at mount time following mount options or fstab [00:22] furuno, i do, but it doesn't work. [00:23] m1dlg: the same in ntfs [00:23] StrangeCharm, twinview should NOT be maximizing windows across both screens - this is NOT working as intended! are you using gnome or another windows manager? [00:23] Jeruvy, it is not how twinview worked under 9.04: things behaved as desired. [00:23] is it possible to hibernate by commandline, instead of using the icon? what is the command?

[01:05] Any idea if the ubuntu dev team has a "Fix everything that broke since Hardy Heron" distro in the works? :/ [01:05] coz_: in order to do that, you have to edit the menu [01:05] Delvien, you lost me on that one but I will take a look [01:05] phenom, Um, what?

Is there a fix document? === Neon_Lightning is now known as NeonLightning [01:05] coz_: *see my comment above* [01:05] coz_: look here: [01:06] I am seriously concerned about how much bug testing goes in to a distro before it's released. [01:06] phenom: so run +1 and file bug reports [01:06] phenom, More than you think goes on. [01:06] Phenom: use hardy heron, it's LTS [01:06] I've had nothing but bugs since upgrading from heron [01:06] coz_: http://img200.imageshack.us/i/200911092004411280x768s.png/ [01:06] And Karmic, introduced most of them. [01:06] phenom, Then you may want to consider going back to Hardy. [01:07] coz_: right click on that area, and that tooltip will display, just hit edit menus [01:07] Phenom, read about LTS [01:07] phenom: this is a support channel. if you have a specific issue, please state it. but #ubuntu is not the proper channel for "this whole release stinks" chatter. [01:07] Delvien, I understand what you mean but the systray icons cannot be accessed through alacarte [01:07] syn-ack, I wish it were "sudo apt-get revert" easy [01:07] I'd have to reinstall the system.

[01:09] nomopofomo: #ubuntu-ops please [01:10] has anyone ever installed ubuntu 9.10 using flash disk? [01:10] i installed gnome-mplayer and set it to open up certain files... now that it's uninstalled i still see it as an option to open those files... how can i remove that? [01:10] mneptok, I do agree it is a flash issue, but it was working in hardy iirc [01:10] phenom: maybe try swflash instead? [01:10] phenom: Ubuntu developers have no control over what the plugin does or does not do, or regressions in Flash/ [01:11] what the heck was that levanta pm [01:11] When i try to install Wine from the ubuntu software manager it gives me the error "package dependencies cannot be resolved". I am using ubuntu 9.10 can anyone help me? [01:11] Any way, the flash fix that "worked" on my laptop, doesn't work on my desktop. It freezes the browser entirely. [01:11] coz_: a spammer [01:11] I succeed booting by usb but get problem when detect and mount cdrom [01:11] Delvien - just rebooted and still no drive detected [01:11] mneptok, Right. Any idea why my system beeps repeatedly on shutdown? [01:12] adamot, where did you install WINE from? [01:12] Does it on 2 of my ubuntu systems [01:12] nicolas: when you ran the command i told you in the live cd , what did it say about the scan? [01:12] JerVA: from the ubuntu software center [01:12] phenom: what does syslog / dmesg /messages say about it? [01:12] it gave a date of the fsck something like july 2007 and seemed to start a process then just hung [01:12] The supposed fixes do not work either. I have to band aid it, and disable system beep altogether. [01:12] that pesky pcspkr :P [01:13] Upgrade to 9.10 broke my sound. Is there a fix document? [01:13] nicolas: that's not a good sign [01:13] nicolas: how old is the PC , and the HDD? [01:13] delvien about 2 years old [01:13] Tommy3: what DE?

[01:14] delvien just upgraded from jaunty [01:14] nicolas: when upgrading, did it ask to install a new version of /boot/grub/menu.lst? [01:14] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/290204 [01:14] I am downloading thunderbird mail client and soon I will be ready to learn how to compile. [01:14] nicolas: also, are you dual booting? [01:14] Delvien: no [01:14] Delvien: no I am not [01:15] Delvien: this machine has been ubuntu from the beginning [01:15] nicolas can you boot to recovery mode? [01:15] JerVA: thank you. it may help you to know that i tried installing once before but i only got as far as to compile Wine and i decided to just get rid of the folder and start over. the reason i tried compiling is because i got this same error. === Ajraddatz is now known as Ajr|AFK [01:15] hey guys i upgraded to 9.10 and now my dmraid (fakeraid) is giving me problems. when i boot grub tells me: Kernel Panic not syncing VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown block.. any ideas? i tried update-initramfs already [01:15] adamot: Did you try WINE stable version or Beta version? [01:15] Delvien: just tried through the grub menu options, it gives me the same: filesystem has no /sbin/init [01:15] JerVA Wine stable version [01:15] I am about to decompress the file. [01:16] FYI Wine beta version works well [01:16] You may want to try the latest version [01:16] JerVA okay i'll try that [01:16] hi [01:16] !ppa [01:16] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [01:16] mneptok, Honestly, I don't have the mind to dig through system files at present. [01:16] Delvien: however it seems to have listed my HDD as different names- they used to be sda1 now it only has them listed as sdf and sde [01:16] exit [01:16] The latest WINE version is 1.1.32 [01:16] !pubkey [01:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about pubkey [01:16] sdf ? [01:16] hmm [01:16] I'm just venting. [01:16] how to add a pubkey manually please [01:16] JerVA: it seems to be working, I'll let you know if i run into any problems, thanks a lot! === DanaG1 is now known as DanaG [01:16] Welcome :) [01:17] what does something yellow in ls mean? [01:17] Delvien: (describe "DE" please) I upgraded from 9.04. cannot get any sound app to work. old dell, ES1371 sound chip. [01:17] Delvien: I have two HDDs both 500 gb a piece listed before as sda1 sdb1 [01:17] i have deletet a packet with aptitude --purge remove but there still files and folders from that packet left. How can i remove a packet completly? [01:17] switchgirl, if you're using 9.10 "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:foo" will install both source.list entry and pgp key [01:17] Delvien: another error is EXT3-fs: no journal [01:18] ZykoticK9: google pubkeys have to be manually added [01:18] Tommy3: DE= Desktop environment. KDE/GNOME/Xfce/Openbox etc [01:18] switchgirl, example http://paste.ubuntu.com/314700/ [01:18] ok, I have decompressed the file. [01:18] nicolas: lemme look, [01:18] Delvien: using gnome [01:18] I just hope ubuntu starts to work on stabilizing the system. I've never had so many problems upgrading distros. [01:18] hey, because pulseaudio absolutely sucks horribly now, i'm trying to get esound working; unfortunately, when i run esd (and i did apt-get install esound and the like), there's no output [01:19] how do I go about installing the pre-release version of the nvidia drivers? [01:19] I've got a dell D630 hooked up to a docking station with 2 monitors, one DVI, one VGA. When i boot ubuntu 9.10 with both monitors hooked up, it crashes at the very end of the boot sequence. Where it would normally drop you to the desktop, i get a blank screen with the circular loading cursor, which is frozen, not animated. [01:19] phenom: just use windows === bibinou_ is now known as bibinou [01:19] Is there any way to add more work spaces? [01:19] Cyber-Dogg, try going to Administration>Software Sources [01:19] Not to be a pest,, but I'm serious. I am scared upgrading ubuntu [01:19] i think it might be wired up to alsa which might be wired up to a pulse compat layer or something pathetically stupid like that [01:19] I have 185 installed now but I'm hving some issues with VDPAU and it's suggested that the newer version will fix it [01:19] Tommy3: have you checked "alsamixer" to see if any of your outputs are muted [01:19] Go to updates tab [01:19] JerVA: i've looked and I only see 185 [01:19] click on whatever OS you are using-proposed [01:20] then press close - it should communicate with the update manager [01:20] phenom: when you consider the task of upgrading windows versions, say XP-> vista, it's just as, if not more risky. I've never seen an upgraded windows install that worked as well as a fresh one. [01:20] Delvien: all outputs are max volume and not muted. [01:20] zer0ne, Nice answer. You're one of those people that says,, "just leave" america,, when I mention something I don't like.. Well this is my Country you mook. And Ubuntu is my distro. [01:20] and it should get the NVIDIA latest driver [01:20] Tommy3: go to the sound icon in the systray and go to its properties [01:20] Just like America. Ubuntu has room for improvement.. Both based around stability heh [01:21] has anybody tried iphone development on ubuntu? [01:21] nicolas: I found a bug report on a broken LiveCD image that was fixed with your same issue, but i cant find anything else [01:21] Delvien: just ran the recovery mode on another kernel - it says: mountall main process (2949) terminated with status 1 general error mounting file system. A maintanance shell will now be started [01:21] mankash: why would anyone bother with iphone development on anything other than OS X? [01:21] Delvien: ok, got it up... [01:21] phenom, then become a person to help with the upgrades instead of just complaining about it. [01:21] then it gives my sudo name and all that - thats different from before [01:21] mankash possible, but syncing is the problem. as we cant run itunes.... well, if at all [01:21] Any thoughts re: booting with dual monitors? using the free nv driver, quadro nvs if either of those helps. [01:22] I don't know how to compile a program, please may somebody help me, I am easy to train. please open a private convo to help me. [01:22] Jaunty gui not displaying. Pls help? [01:22] Tommy3: go to output, what is the connector? if none, slect different options, see if one works for you [01:22] mankash, you can ask this question in ubuntu brainstorm [01:22] how do I install Medibuntu on 9.10? [01:22] and suggest that you want iphone development [01:22] nnz, try here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware [01:22] Phenom : get to work then.... [01:22] nicolas: ok in the recovery mode. log in [01:22] i_is_broke, I'm not complaining. I'm just not scared to admit, the dev team needs to work on stabilizing the system before releases. [01:23] I need to talk to a device over a serial cable, what program should I use? [01:23] nicolas: once you are in type "mount" and pastebin the output [01:23] Delvien: output connector is "Analog Output/Amplifier" [01:23] Delvien: it is only terminal access [01:23] Jaunty does not load gui login. Instead get shell acccess. http://pastebin.com/f75fbef70 http://pastebin.com/f7df0f29d [01:23] Tommy3: what does output volume say on the top [01:23] my firefox browser won't allow me to copy the address, diffra. [01:23] nicolas: ah yes. well, do you see your drives? [01:23] Ashfire908, python, c++, java all have capabilities to talk to serial devices, hell you can probably do it in bash too [01:23] nnz, try pressing CTRL & V same time to copy the address [01:23] Tonno, http://paste.ubuntu.com/314704/ [01:24] nnz: then try retyping it? or google 'ubuntu compile'. it was the second or third hit when i did it. [01:24] Delvien: how would I check that from a terminal environment [01:24] I mean [01:24] JerVA: Ctrl C ? :P [01:24] ok, restarting, hopefully this'll dynamite pulseaudio once and for all [01:24] CTRL & C to copy [01:24] yes [01:24] ok [01:24] thanks for correcting me lol [01:24] nicolas: just type mount [01:24] ZykoticK9, thanks :) [01:24] CTRL & V for paste [01:24] wish me luck!!!

[01:25] nicolas: dont do it yet [01:25] Delvien: no I have not [01:26] Ashfire908, stty opens the device and then you just cat /dev/ttyfile & and echo commands to it [01:26] Delvien: it also mentions in parenthesis (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) [01:26] nicolas: ok, do an update while you are logged in, [01:26] usser, something cleaner... Sorry, I'm personally talking, and I'd rather use a nice(er) interface than cat and echo. [01:26] nicolas: thats fine, that is normal [01:26] Delvien: would that be sudo apt-get update? [01:26] nicolas: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [01:27] What sort of things can you do on primary partitions that you can't on extended? [01:27] Any thought on jaunty login without gui?

[01:27] diffra: Primary partitions? No [01:27] diffra, when i say compile, i mean instaling software from a non-deb file. [01:28] nnz, I understand. The wiki page gives a howto, step by step. [01:28] I will check again, diffra [01:28] Delvien: lists a bunch of could not resolve stuff as well as some index files failing to install and old ones are being used [01:29] nicolas: does it say something about dpkg --configure -a or apt-get -f install? [01:29] boot from them [01:29] Delvien: streamtuner radio station... get error: "Failed to execute child process - audacious.:: tryied reloading audacious. looks like audacious2 comes up for install. Also, have a java driven website that cannot reach sound output. Rebooted yesterday and it worked for a while. dont know what happed to make it stop.

[01:32] ZykoticK9: I am, but this is the most active place to ask for help :p [01:32] can I add applet of gnome on xfce?

[01:33] goose, i don't have apache installed yet but check in the config file for something about home folder or public_html - it's probably not turned on by default if this is a fresh install. best of luck. [01:33] i find the compiz one hard to tell which window i'm getting quickly [01:34] SirFunk, what do you mean? Do you mean Grub1, 2? [01:34] The program you use to dual boot? [01:34] SirFunk, you could install the experimental plugins for compiz one of which is workspace names [01:34] nicolas: what was the output? [01:34] coz_: hmm [01:34] Delvien: Apache2, app install,apt,binfmts,cups,dbconfig,flashplugin,fonts,gdm,git,gnome tools,hald,jockey,ldconfig,libvirt [01:34] yeah, compiz does havea lot of options.. maybe i need to play around with it more [01:35] Delvien: man,pppconfig,sambe, software center, system tools [01:35] You mean window switcher as in Desktop effects? [01:35] SirFunk, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/soreau%27s%20script === anthony is now known as Guest63778 [01:35] You can test Compiz for different desktop effects fyi [01:35] coz_:) [01:35] ls [01:35] SirFunk, downloda that open terminal cd to Desktop [01:35] coz_, do you know the specific package(s) required to do workspace naming? that would be so cool. [01:35] nicolas: "ls -l /var/cache/apt" [01:35] ZykoticK9, just download that script [01:35] ZykoticK9, it should install all of the dependencies you need [01:36] hi I am having some problems with NIS -- I can log in via NIS and such, however all X application dealing with internet (e.g., pidgin, xchat, firefox) won't respond -- i.e., they just hang [01:36] coz_: is there a screenshot or something of what the end result looks like? [01:36] nicolas: it looks like your upgrade did not complete, and corrupted the install. [01:36] SirFunk, open terminla cd Desktop ./soreu' scrit [01:36] SirFunk, well I could screen shot it hold on [01:36] coz_: thanks [01:36] thieusoai, you mean you did log in to have network connection ? Specific NIS please? [01:36] coz_: Some people don't know how to use a script so it may be better to link them to the forum post which explains how to install ans use the script [01:36] Delvien: total 25976, drwxr -xr-x 3 root root 147456 achrives [01:37] Delvien: could a fresh install from a live cd fix it you think? [01:37] Delvien: because this one was from update manager [01:37] ok, i'm having sound issues - surprise - I have my mic hooked up, and when I talk into it I can hear it, but it is VERRY quiet. where can I fix this? [01:37] nicolas: a fresh install would def fix the issue, but you would have to back up your data first, then install a new copy, wiping the HDD with / and possibly /home if you have it setup under the default [01:37] JerVA: I was able to log in via NIS just fine, all network / internet works (i.e., if I log in using tty1 and try using elinks and such -> all work). It's just in X when try to open some internet apps like firefox , the application hangs. [01:38] soreau, makes sense === Gad is now known as Lunja [01:38] .server gay-serbia.com [01:38] JerVA: what specific NIS info do you need ? [01:38] ah you mean the apps frozen on you? [01:38] after an upgrade to 9.10 i no longer have an initrd.img in /boot any ideas how to generate get this? [01:38] nicolas: if you dont mind doing that, id say that'd be your best bet [01:38] What Linux OS are you using thieusoai [01:38] SirFunk, http://forum.compiz.org/showthread.php?s=1b7cda8f56eb32a6fd5e805701e558e0&t=12012 [01:38] thanks [01:38] Delvien: that would be fine, how would I go about backing up from terminal [01:38] JerVA: I wouldn't call it being frozen, it won't even open ... none of them (pidgin, xchat, etc) [01:38] lunja / Gad, please keep that out of this channel. Thank you. [01:38] I'm sorry diffra but it's just to advanced for me, the most code I have ever used is html code. [01:38] Oh yeah - it won't open at all. [01:39] Delvien: this should effect my other plug in drives should it? [01:39] SirFunk, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/Screenshot.png [01:39] JerVA: The NIS server runs on Hardy --- the clients runs various OS including Ubuntu / Debian [01:39] nicolas: know your way around cd and cp? [01:39] JerVA: all clients have the same exact problem --- [01:39] Delvien: a little [01:39] nicolas: you mean usbs? [01:39] Did you change anything before this occurred thei [01:39] SirFunk, you can see there I have numbers set in the plugin to distinguish viewports [01:39] thieusoai, [01:39] JerVA: nope, I don't think I've changed anything [01:39] I don't know how to compile a program, please may somebody help me, I am easy to train. please open a private convo to help me., I can't understand the wiki pages [01:40] Delvien: kind of, I have one of my drives set up as if it were a usb drive, one drive has my OS the other my information. When I ran the live cd I was able to access the info drive no problem [01:40] coz_: yeah [01:40] cool [01:40] Okay. Did you run update manager yet? [01:40] JerVA: I don't even know where to localize the problem. All I know is that if I log in using a "local" account, everything works -- but an nis account -> problem. So I figure it must be NIS [01:40] !compile | nnz [01:40] nnz: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [01:40] NIS is the server itself? [01:40] SirFunk, you can add letters or names if you wish [01:40] Hi, I'm trying to send a file to this switch I have via the serial port, what program should I use? [01:40] Delvien: really I only have a few files I need to retrieve from the OS HDD, how would I go about doing that? [01:41] nicolas: just copy the information to the usb drives that you want to store, when installing a new ubuntu, make sure you have that usb drive unplugged to reduce the risk of formatting it by accident. then blam [01:41] ubottu, I think I have allready done that. [01:41] JerVA: what do you mean ? I have a server running NIS providing services, and all clients also run NIS which authenticates wit hthe server [01:41] Hello [01:41] nicolas: cd to the dir, then "cp /file /path/to/your/backup/area" preferably on another drive or your USB one you are going to disconnect before reinstalling [01:41] Does 9.04 have network manager for dailup modems already installed? [01:41] I am just trying to illustrate where NIS and server/clients go together [01:42] nicolas: for example "cd /home/nicolas/documents" [01:42] i installed synce-icon and i got error, that nautilus doesnt support synce:// protocol [01:42] I have the files, I'm trying to compile thunderbird mail client [01:42] What should i try to do? [01:42] nicolas: "cp picture.jpg /media/otherhdd/picture.jpg" [01:42] Hey, I just upgraded ext3 to ext4, i did a grub-install on my filesystem.. I heard something about needing grub2 for ext4, i want to make sure I will be ok as I am, does anyone know about this? [01:43] help me help me help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [01:43] plund3r, afaik u does not need that [01:43] ! grub2 | p1und3r [01:43] Delvien: nice, I will give it a shot, once I do that just unplug the good drive, and run the live cd, formatting the hd for the fresh install? [01:43] NIS is Network Information Service right? [01:43] p1und3r: IIRC grub2 supports ext4 /boot, whilst anything previous for grub only uses ext3 for /boot [01:43] * ubottu has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)) [01:43] nicolas: make sure you umount the drive, to preserve data [01:44] JerVA: yes [01:44] I wanna compile thunderbird mail client, [01:44] I don't know how to compile a program, please may somebody help me, I am easy to train. please open a private convo to help me. [01:44] nicolas: "sudo umount /path/to/drive" [01:44] Delvien: ah ok, so I probably am using ext3 to boot atm I assume? [01:44] Delvien: thanks for the help [01:44] nnz: ./configure && make && make install [01:44] nicolas: np\ [01:44] help [01:44] hello [01:44] So, any1 got idea how to learn gnome using new protocol? :> [01:44] what's the problem Trupsalms?

It seems to only be listening on IPv4 addresses but IPv6 it is refusing. I had this problem in the past and fixed it with some kind of "sysctl" setting but I've gone over all of the "forwarding" settings under sysctl, all are set to 1 for enabled, but that that still didn't fix it. I can't remember what I'm supposed to do to fix it [01:44] help [01:44] Yes.

[01:49] and see if performance with clients resolved? [01:49] even though I've all 3 plugged in [01:49] oh. originallyy [01:49] SirFunk, compizconfig-settings-manager [01:49] used a CD [01:49] ..

[02:05] <_augustinus_> unop_, thanks i have a look [02:05] I forgot [02:05] Captain-Kremmen, dpkg -L package_name [02:05] _augustinus_: diff /tmp/a /tmp/b | egrep '[<>]' [02:05] k.. unop_ :) [02:06] kostkon: i got tired of gnome-panel for my tasks.. i looked into alternatives, and found tint2 :) lacking a couple features.. but on the whole i like it considerably better than gnome-panel.. now i just want to get an alternative to the top bar for my program launchers [02:06] nnz: do you use the 9.10? and the libstdc++5 has been removed from official repos, but the thunderbird package from mozilla web is still depending on it [02:06] nnz: so you can't run it on 9.10 [02:06] Trupsalms: some channels require registration, check out http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup to set one up [02:07] mordof, try wbar [02:07] is it possible to get the same mousewheel functionality in linux as it has in windows? [02:07] <_augustinus_> frogzoo, thanks, I had that before ... but there was some flaw. But when I think about it again, it seems to be OK [02:07] randomusr, what exactly do you mean [02:07] usser: i'll look into it ^^ ty for the suggestion. i've gone through at least 10 alternatives so far, lol. [02:07] I hate trying to lean from wiki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, all I have to do is know how to get programs to work from scratch, then I can teach myself most of everything else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [02:07] anyone else had trouble with vi in ubuntu 9.10? [02:07] <_augustinus_> well thanks all frogzoo unop_, i think I'm too tired for today and will go to bed ;) [02:07] anyone video chat in ubuntu? [02:07] <_augustinus_> thanks for your help [02:07] buttons840: only that i don't know any of the hotkeys, so i always mess it up ; ; haha [02:08] I'm running 9.04!!! [02:08] mordof, wbar is just that a macosx style toolbar that acts as a simple launcher, ie no window management no plugins just icons that you can click on [02:08] nnz: what are you trying to understand? [02:08] _augustinus_, np, remember there is always the #bash channel [02:08] i have a CS homework assignment. I am meant to parse a log file looking for machines that are logged as 'attacking'. what exactly should I be looking for. The file is immense [02:08] hajmola, I want to click my mouse wheel and get the up/down arrows to scroll without moving the wheel [02:08] <_augustinus_> ok thanks [02:08] <_augustinus_> bye [02:08] nnz, you could download the tar.gz file extract that and read the README file as well as the INSTALL file for thunderbird [02:08] mordof, aha, ok. tint2 seems nice [02:08] nnz: any error logs? [02:08] gyyg, eh cat filename | grep -v attacking [02:08] usser: nice, i have issues with the way gnome-panel 'autohides' .. so hopefully this will be better if it has that capability [02:08] usser, was cat needed there? :) [02:09] randomusr, you mean not just in firefox? I believe FF does it but i'm not sure about system-wide [02:09] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! [02:09] unop_, probably not, [02:09] nnz, you'll be kicked out soon enough ... [02:09] It's a damn binary program!!! [02:09] hajmola, ff would be fine, but it's not working [02:09] nnz: there's 1300 people in here.. not everyone follows what you're saying. They are paying attention to other threads. so what's up? [02:10] nnz, then, choose some other app to compile [02:10] there is no make, install or whatever!!! [02:10] usser: essentially i'd like to auto-hide it on the left hand side seemlessly, always on top, so that the other programs are underneath, with a 1px edge [02:10] usser: do you know if wbar is capable of that? [02:10] randomusr, You can do it in Firefox by typing in the address bar about:config and changing general.autoScroll to true [02:10] nnz, You gonna pull those pistols, or just whistle dixie. [02:10] usser: that puts out a huge output with nothing that says attacking [02:10] nnz: you want ./config make makeinstall? install build-essential [02:10] i do I "refresh" bash so it knows a binary is in /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin? [02:10] i know it will work by simply rebooting but there must be an easier way [02:11] I really want to cry right now!!! [02:11] <_o_O_> :) [02:11] i posted a blog with some semi useful beginners linux and ubuntu commands im new myself and needed a cheat sheet hope it might help some http://vdububuntu.blogspot.com/ [02:11] IT. IS. A. BINARY. PROGRAM. [02:11] nnz: then run it [02:11] nnz, tell me slowly what it is you want to do with tunderbird ....why you dont want to use the package manager... and why you are insisting on compiling this? [02:11] randomusr: in firefox open edit>preferences>Advanced enable auto scrolling [02:12] * scunizi thinks nnz is close to having a melt down [02:12] is anyone here using Finch? [02:12] there is no make, install, makefile .... [02:12] gyyg, sorry grep "attacking" test [02:12] deviant-route: I have.. [02:12] gyyg, grep -v inverses the match [02:12] randomusr, what does that do? [02:12] vdub, not bad, although it reminds me of this http://fosswire.com/post/2008/4/ubuntu-cheat-sheet/ [02:12] nnz: you don't need that for a binary program [02:12] nnz, let me download that and look hold on [02:12] this is my files : http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ [02:13] thank you so much scunizi and coz [02:13] it works the way I want to now. Thanks [02:13] scunizi, have you been able to connect to facebookchat lately? [02:13] gyyg, i meant to say grep -i "attacking" filename, -i ignores case for matches [02:13] nnz: If you want to compile it, you need to download the source. What the heck are you trying to do? [02:13] nnz: it's binary package, just extract it /usr/local, and run : /usr/local/thunderbird/thunderbird [02:13] logging out the user refreshes the location of new binaries, but that's just inefficient. must be a better way. [02:13] deviant-route: haven't really tried with finch.. sorry.. it's been a while [02:13] I really appreaciate you help [02:13] scunizi, ok [02:13] nnz: why you going there when the package is available in the repos? [02:14] kostkon, started with his and expanded for my needs [02:14] well, thanks for the lack of help [02:14] vdub, ah! right. good work then :) [02:14] exit === r3dhat is now known as redhat|away [02:14] nnz, I have thunderbird installed here all I did was sudo apt-get install thunderbird [02:14] thanks hajmola and legen2440 [02:14] nnz, but let me look at the source package [02:14] Codemaster, where from? [02:14] still work in progress but thought it might help someone frustrated or whatever [02:14] nnz: then if you want you can add the lighening extension [02:14] is there anyway to count the number of items in a grep, but only show teh total not entire list of junk [02:14] scunizi ; becouse I have to learn these things if i am ever going to succseed as a programmer === redhat|away is now known as r3dhat [02:15] randomusr, What does autoscrolling do? I set it, and tried a page or two. Should I restart FF? [02:15] iarp, grep match filename | wc -l [02:15] usser: ty [02:15] greezmonkey, yet [02:15] or grep -c match filename [02:15] yes? [02:15] usser: is that -L lower cased? [02:15] nnz: ah.. I see. so you want the source and then compile the program ? [02:15] greezmonkey, what type of mouse/pointing device are you using? [02:15] iarp, yea [02:15] ty [02:16] nnz: the link(http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/) you just gave is a binary package, how can u find the src code? [02:16] A MS w/scroller [02:16] scuzini ; yes. [02:16] nnz, DO NOT, i repeat do not start your compiling experience with anything from mozilla, it is pure hell to compile [02:17] usser ; haha!!! lol!!!! now i find out. [02:17] nnz: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Download_Mozilla_Source_Code [02:17] greezmonkey, if you click the scroller, do you get the autoscroll pointer with double arrow? [02:18] usser: whats the proper way to write "ll /home/user/opent/opent/ | grep *.c " now do i add "| wc -l" with without the pipe [02:18] usser: what would you reccomend be my first experiance? [02:18] ? === Out_Cold is now known as Guest10044 [02:19] iarp, ls /home/user/opent/opent | grep "*.c" | wc -l [02:19] iarp, assuming ll in your command means ls [02:19] ya [02:19] nnz: here: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/, you can find the source of thunderbird, even for every release === nick_ is now known as Guest87819 [02:20] nnz: try ekiga's latest .. it's needed anyway for ubuntu.. you could put it on your own PPA on launchpad for others to enjoy [02:20] huh?... sorry usser, I blacked out, what a headache [02:20] randomusr, Yes, weird! [02:20] nnz, i dunno, something like xterm, or midori if you want to try to compile a browser that is actually pretty good [02:20] nnz, in that extracted package is the mozilla-installer-bin [02:20] hehe === Guest10044 is now known as Out_Cold [02:21] greezmonkey, it's nice to have [02:21] everyone, I am officialy confused, and I don't confuse easy. [02:21] :o [02:21] nnz, you run that in a terminal with ./mozilla-installer-bin but you will also need to install libstdc first and perhaps other dependencies all of which are taken care of withing the repository thunderbird [02:21] usser: i tried to run wbar, it just says 'Using a Super Bar.' but displays nothing.. [02:21] are there any configuration files for vi? [02:22] how do i change my name? [02:22] buttons840: ~/.vimrc [02:22] usser: odd, it reports only 1/2 of whats actully in the folder === nicle is now known as nicle_yang [02:22] trism, is that for vi or vim? [02:22] GUest8781: cmd: /nick newname [02:23] is the any other program source code that i could get of the internet that would be ideal practise for a beginer like me? [02:23] trism, whatever the case, i have no ~/.vimrc folder, nor do i have any ~/.vi* folder [02:23] any ops around? === Guest87819 is now known as newname [02:24] levanta is PM spamming on join [02:24] nnz, why not just do sudo apt-get source thunderbird (or any other package) [02:24] anyone else have a nvidia 230M and running 9.10? [02:24] nnz: sf.net, but it has none business with ubuntu [02:24] guys i just installed LAMP, is there a nice and easy to use web admin panel out there, also anyone know how i can set up a pop3/smtp server [02:24] there is a way that i can hide the menu that is down of the xfwm4? (File Edit View Go Tools Help) === nicle_yang is now known as nicle [02:25] mordof, try wbar -above-desk [02:25] #sign# :( [02:25] usser: i get Segmentation Fault every time i try any options ; ; [02:25] iarp, hm [02:25] mordof, nice :) === DG19075 is now known as DaveAllen [02:25] I'd rather not highlight all the ops [02:25] usser: lol >.< [02:25] :S [02:26] iarp, thats strange [02:26] buttons840: your vi is probably vim in vi compatibility mode, and ~/.vimrc is a text file, where you put your vi configuration [02:26] my screen resolution suddenly popped into 800 by 640 is there a way to change it to 1280 by 1024? [02:26] usser: ya, dont worry about it now anyways, just opened a new window and did it within the folder and it reported proper number [02:26] usser: apparently order of params matters [02:27] why must learning compiling be like this!!! [02:28] iarp, ah sorry you have to use egrep or grep -E to be able to write stuff like grep -E -i "*.c" filename [02:28] trism, it is vim [02:28] usser: bleh.. nevermind. not a fan of this. it can't auto-hide from what i can tell either [02:28] you guys have a spammer [02:28] iarp, so in your case ls | grep -E -i "*.c" | wc -l [02:28] !ops | levanta is PMing spam on join. Sorry for mass highlight, tried to see if anyone was around first. [02:28] trism, but anyways, if i run vim with the command "vi" is it normaly to have HOME and END produce characters? [02:28] usser: writing to what though? [02:28] mordof, oh well [02:29] iarp, what do you mean writing to what? [02:29] usser: well you sad "use egrep or grep -E to be able to write stuff" [02:29] where to find compiz in ubuntu 9.10? its installed as showed in software center [02:30] :'( [02:30] buttons840: don't know, I don't use vi compat mode, although jumping to the beginning of a line in vim is ^ and then end is $ [02:30] Styrbjorn: enable it from the appearance item in your prefrences menu [02:30] why isn't ubottu working? :S [02:30] !ops | levanta is PMing spam on join. Sorry for mass highlight. [02:30] Strywgr- install compiz-config-settings in synaptic and for extra measure install the fusion icon [02:31] ...or just type compiz --replace in alt+f2 [02:31] Question, did the upgrade to 9.10 and now the dektop doesn't respond to my mouse wheel (before it would switch between the workspaces). Anyone know what the option to turn that back on is called? [02:31] iarp, i meant in order to match stuff like "*.c" you have to use egrep, grep doesnt allow regular expression, so you could write grep .c but that would give you lines where there's .c lines like hello.carl.html would be matched [02:31] Addicts, i think it's a compiz feature [02:31] Addicts: compiz (desktop wall i believe) [02:31] Addicts, yeah that was disabled by default in ubuntu for some reason open ccsm [02:31] Kk thanks guys [02:31] usser: ahh gotchya ty [02:31] iarp, i dunno if that makes it clear, you gotta excuse my english [02:32] Addicts, is ccsm opened? [02:32] Addicts- its in viewport switcher.. once your there tell me [02:32] usser: makes sence now, i misread it and didnt realise you meant as in myself writing it [02:32] Naw not at my machine ATM, on cell @ class bored [02:32] hey guys i just installed 9.10 on this ol' laptop and im having some problems getting my Dlink DWL-650+ pcmcia card working.. lspci shows it as Texas Instruments ACX 100 22Mbps Wireless Interface but i dont know what module to load [02:33] quex [02:33] grrrrrrr., I come here to learn how to compile, and all i get is a headache and a dis-will to live. [02:33] :( [02:34] Addicts, ccsm .. Desktop category...viewport switcher...Desktop -based Viewport switching tab...Move next to button 4 Move Prev to button 5 [02:34] Heya, was wondering, how easy is it to hack into a Linux computer with openssh-server and port 22 open on the router? [02:34] Hello, does anyone know how could I launch a bash script with a keyboard button? [02:34] firenx, system → admin → hardware drivers didn't show any available driver right? [02:34] hey guys, im running ubuntu on here but trying install arch on my other pc, the problem aint arch, trying to pacman gnome, but ent letting me install because of conflicting problems with e2fsprogs, any ideas [02:34] Hello- mine seems like a minor issue but I don't know terminal speak to correct it...I have to mouse left handed as my right hand doesn't work- but since I upgraded no matter what I set the mouse to in the control panel it is always right handed. I am using a laptop with a touch pad so this is a 'mouse' issue [02:34] xtsuname, it depends on the strength of your password and whether you have root account enabled [02:34] what is the torrent setup to use on jaunty server [02:34] kostkon: that is correct [02:35] firenx, ok. just checking [02:35] Addicts, or just meet me in #compiz [02:35] kostkon, yeah just the laptops modem showed up there heh [02:35] firenx, hmm ok [02:35] usser, what do you mean by root account enabled? [02:36] what is the torrent setup to use on jaunty server. Can you link me to a good tutorial [02:36] !torrent | snuffy47 [02:36] did ubottu die? [02:37] xtsuname, ubuntu doesnt have root account by default you use sudo to gain admin permissions. Since you created a username for yourself hackers will have to actually guess your username AND the password when in the case of debian for example where root is enabled by default they only have to guess password === kad_ is now known as need_help [02:37] snuffy47: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BitTorrent [02:37] can anyone help me change the resolution of my monitor? [02:38] usser, the computer is running Ubuntu, but, we can still ssh in using root@ipaddress right? [02:38] xtsuname, in any case you shouldnt be using ssh with password authentication consider spending some time and learning about ssh and certificate based authentication [02:38] xtsuname, no you cant [02:38] xtsuname, root account is disabled on ubuntu [02:39] screw ubuntu, it's imposible to learn how to do anything on it!!! [02:39] nnz, haha [02:39] nnz, not true [02:39] umm [02:39] what hope is left!!! :'( [02:39] xtsuname: It *is* possible to enable the root abbout, but it's highly discouraged. And it's highly discouraged to allow root access via ssh on any distribution. [02:39] nnz, its not ubuntu it is the user ubuntu is as powerful as you make it [02:39] I just started the netbook install of ubuntu and its black-screening :( [02:39] levanta is a spambot. [02:39] hmmm not one specific torrent will have to do some more reading. This will be going on a server [02:40] usser, ah, I see, you're right. I can do it on local LAN but not from outside. and could you direct me to a site I can learn about that? [02:40] can anyone help me change the resolution of my monitor? [02:40] levanta: no [02:40] coz ; then I must be pretty fu*cking weak!!! [02:40] back i switch to linux i try airmon-ng display ( http://pastebin.com/m55cfee6f ) thx why it give unknown [02:40] levanta is messaging people who join this channel with a URL to download something. [02:40] Tomas_: what netbook are you using? [02:40] :( [02:40] !ssh | xtsuname [02:40] flan_suse: got it too [02:40] asus 1005 ha [02:40] night all [02:40] nnz, I think a couple deep breaths might help to relax you :) [02:40] !ssh [02:40] is bot dead again? [02:40] yeah [02:40] think so [02:40] seems so [02:40] levanta needs to be kicked, since it's a spambot. [02:41] how does this happen anyways? [02:41] Tomas: I have karmic running on my dell mini 9 [02:41] yeah good for ya, but that dont help me with my black screen of destruction lol :P [02:41] xtsuname, http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/152 thats for passwordless login with ssh [02:41] weird [02:41] aaaarrrggghhh!!!................ ok, I think I'm ok now. :o [02:41] On Karmic, how do I hide / modify what gets displayed under the "Places" menu? I want to hide icons for devices that do not need to show under "Places" such as encrypted partitions or RAM disks, etc. [02:42] usser, thank you very much [02:42] sigh [02:42] firenx, it seems like it was dropped on 9.10? what sudo modprobe acx gives you [02:42] Tomas_: your machine don't die when you restart gnome display manager do you :CP [02:42] trism, or anyone, i don't have "vim" installed as you know it, if i run "vim" i get "vim: command no found" however "vi" works and "vi --version" show me that I'm using Vim all output can be see in my thread on ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8283032#post8283032 [02:42] ubottu is flooded? Will she come back by herself? [02:42] anyone have any preferences for panels that can dock on the left hand side and auto-hide to be 1px and be 'always on top' and have application launcher functionality? i've looked through lxpanel, pypanel, wbar, and several others that i cna't remember the names of at the moment. trying to find one i like [02:42] flan_suse- system / prefs / main menu [02:42] kostkon: module acx not found [02:42] Hello. Does anyone else use UNR? [02:42] hey guys [02:42] anybody fan of video/audio podcasts? [02:42] firenx, hmm. does "iwconfig" output anything? [02:43] it died just after launching the installation [02:43] kostkon, nope [02:43] is there any HD viedo podcasts u guys know of? [02:43] I just got spammed when I signed in. [02:43] firenx, :( [02:43] Xcell: That's for applications though. It does not give you an option to hide devices that show up under "Places", such as encrypted partitions / volumes. [02:43] there is one of wildlife from miro, but it is so short [02:43] Hi I really need some help if someone can spare me 5 mins- mine seems like a minor issue but I don't know terminal speak to correct it...I have to mouse left handed as my right hand doesn't work- but since I upgraded to koala no matter what I set the mouse to in the control panel it is always right handed. I am using a laptop with a touch pad so this is a 'mouse' issue- and I can't see how to force it to swap the mouse buttons for me... [02:43] oh sry flan.. i misread [02:44] Which one is the memory reader? http://shak.pastebin.com/m6aa9941d [02:44] Tomas_: mine dies whenever i restart it -.- [02:44] I cannot access to SD cards [02:44] ohhh [02:44] can anyone help me change the resolution of my monitor? [02:44] Thing is I installed UNR about a week ago on my Aspire One, and just about everything worked ok. I did a largish update a little while ago, and now it won't resume from suspend. [02:44] Tomas_: so basically i can't do restart after i change the config [02:44] who can assit me in setting up my internet connection ( static ip ) [02:44] ? [02:45] usser, I read the guide, it allows ssh without typing the password, but it doesn't protect against strangers trying to ssh/hack into the machine [02:45] booksbuggy: go to system->preferences->display [02:45] anyone know how to enable the system bell again as the alert sound? [02:45] usser, is there a way to protect against unauthorized users from ssh-ing into the machine? [02:45] a94060: tried that [02:45] a94060: even with the start up manager doesn't help [02:45] correct drivers installed? [02:45] asarch: none. Is it a USB card reader? [02:45] anyone know how to get flash to work smoothly in firefox?? i'm at a loss.. [02:46] mnml NetworkManager dosent do it auto? [02:46] a94060: that i don't know how to check [02:46] xtsuname, rsa authorization and passwords [02:46] firenx, you could check on the driver's site http://acx100.sourceforge.net/ for any info [02:46] let me see [02:46] google? Im sorry im not sure either [02:46] drj1: Is System -> Preferences -> Mouse -> General -> Left-handed working for you? [02:46] buttons840, do you have a guide that you know to set that up? [02:46] well in the hardware driver i don have anything [02:46] AaronM : nop it doesn`t , i want to do it with specific mac adress , ip adress , gateway , subnet mask.... [02:47] kostkon, cool thanks [02:47] xtsuname, no, i dont' know a lot about it [02:47] anyone knows of HD video podcasts? [02:47] xtsuname, but i believe rsa can be set up so only those with the encryption key can communicate with your server [02:47] buttons840, ok, I'll try google then. thank you for the info [02:47] xtsuname, accidently its exactly the thing it protects against, without certificates hackers cannot get to your station, and those certificates the private part of key pair should be kept secret [02:47] I wanna learn how to compile, what source code will i be reccomended to practise on. [02:47] xtsuname, ie on an encrypted usb stick for example [02:48] xtsuname, theres no way to forge a private certificate, unlike passwords which can be guessed [02:48] Legendre, this kind of cards: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital_card [02:48] nnz: something simple, like gnu nano perhaps? [02:48] nnz: I think midori is a good starting point: apt-get source midori [02:48] asarch: no, what kind of READER is it? [02:48] no apt get, no apt get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [02:48] anyone know how to get flash to work smoothly in firefox?? i'm at a loss.. I've tried installing adobe's version, and performing a sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [02:49] if i wanted to learn gui programming, would it be better to start off in gtk or qt? [02:49] nnz: apt-get source downloads the source code for you [02:49] Mouse not lefthanding issue- clarification- have checked the System Preferences Mouse and that isn't working- I know there is a terminal command to set the mouse as left or right...but I don't recall waht it is or how to set it... [02:49] usser, I think I might have misread. I'll re-read the guide you gave me. Thank you [02:49] a94060, qt is much nicer to program on [02:49] a9406: if you're using ubuntu, gtk [02:49] I cannot mount those kind of cards Legendre [02:49] mnml the use macchanger to change the mac then use ifconfig to set the reset [02:49] I am stressing out!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [02:49] s/reset/rest [02:49] kevin__: could it be drivers that is a problem? I remember that it would lag without correct drivers [02:50] my mind is getting more fragile. [02:50] asarch: and if you can't tell me what type of reader it is, I can't help you. [02:50] asarch: last chance.. is it a USB reader or what? [02:50] On Karmic, how do I hide / modify what gets displayed under the "Places" menu? I want to hide icons for devices that do not need to show under "Places" such as encrypted partitions or RAM disks, etc. (I already know how to hide icons on the desktop.) [02:50] inivex,usser: Thanks. I am on ubuntu so i was thinking gtk also === MajorGeek is now known as Ethan [02:50] so i deleted a folder in my Home folder (containing only a video file) and for some reason my entire desktop folder was erased! However, the folders and desktop icons still showed up, but attempting to open them game me a Not Found error. Can anyone help? D: [02:50] Ok. Sorry, it is an integrated card reader Legendre [02:50] (From a laptop) [02:50] asarch: I see. [02:51] nnz, why don't you start learning some python, pygtk and check quickly also. [02:51] I don't know how to compile, how the hell am i going to know apt get commands!!!!!!!!!!!! [02:51] Sorry for misunderstand your question Legendre [02:51] asarch: try this. Remove the SD card, wait ten seconds. Then, insert the SD card.. wait ten seconds. [02:51] nnz: apt get is a ubuntu command haha [02:51] a94060, there's also different bindings for both qt and gtk, if you dont like c which gtk is written in my personal favorite is wxwidgets+python [02:51] apt get is easy [02:51] hi, guys. i got java working in chromium but i can't get it working in iron. i tried linking directly into the iron-linux directory and into the extensions directory. has anyone got java to work in iron? [02:51] koston ; ok then, just let me compile the package for python!!!!!!!! [02:51] asarch: then, paste the last ten lines of dmesg [02:51] asarch: got it? =) [02:52] yeap! [02:52] * asarch is waiting... === Ethan is now known as MajorGeek [02:52] usser: I actually have only programmed in PHP and matlab so im thinking about learning C/C++ and was just intrested [02:52] a94060, graphics/video drivers? [02:52] nnz, python is an interpreted lang, you don't need to compile it [02:52] Hello. [02:52] asarch: pastebin, obviously.. [02:52] kevin__: yea it could be possible that your graphics card was not detected/drivers under ubuntu werent installed. All i can think of [02:52] a94060 ; what the hell is your problem!!! did you even read what I typed!!!? [02:53] I have a very generic keyboard. [02:53] anyone using the nvidia 230m's successfully on 9.10? [02:53] Of course! [02:53] I don 't know the brand. [02:53] nnz, ah, you mean you want to compile python? [02:53] nnz, eh, apt-get source python? [02:53] a94060, well i installed the reccommened NVIDIA driver when i installed ubuntu -- but it offered two (version 173, and the rec. version 185) [02:53] Legendre: I believe Texas Instrument media card readers have problems with Linux support. [02:53] speaking of python here's a nice little util i wrote to convert videos for my mp3 player http://pastebin.com/f1576c2bf [02:53] :) [02:53] kevin__: Go with 185. [02:54] a94060, would you advise trying the other? -- [02:54] Is there some brandish keyboard that could be similar to mine? [02:54] kevin__: 190 is actually the latest. [02:54] flan_suse, im using 185 now [02:54] nnz: Apologies, totally did not read what you said [02:54] I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANY LONGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [02:54] flan_suse, im using 185 now how do i get 90? [02:54] usser, pardon my asking but, after I set that up, can I still ssh in using other compuers as long as I have the correct username and password? [02:54] kevin__: 186 is available fyi [02:54] It has some multimedia keys at the top. [02:54] kevin__: I would say take the newer revision [02:54] 186 isn't available? [02:54] kevin__: There is an installer from Nvidia's web site for Linux. [02:54] flan_suse, k i'll check this out [02:54] kevin__: I recommend completely uninstalling / disabling your current one first! [02:55] flan_suse, will do, thanks [02:55] flan_suse: thanks for the tip [02:55] xtsuname, you can ssh in using other computers as long as you have your private certificate on those other computers [02:55] kevin__: I find it odd, because I have a crappy single core Celeron laptop with integrated Intel graphics and YouTube plays fine for me. [02:55] any reccomendations to get battery life compared to windows xp? [02:55] has anyone got java to work in the iron browser? [02:55] drj1: maybe you should have a look at: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/how-do-i-switch-mouse-buttons-274507/ [02:56] linux 2.6+firefox+flash has been an ongoing issue [02:56] /usr/lib/f-spot/f-spot.exe: PE32 executable for MS Windows (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit Mono/.Net assembly <= why is there a windows executable in f-spot? [02:56] usser, I deeply apologize, however I don't see where on the guide where it tells me how to block password ssh-login and change it to certificate-only log-in [02:57] xtsuname, ie public key stays on the server you want to connect, but only computers with corresponding private key can connect to that server [02:57] dav_, actually f-spot is a mono app. [02:57] kevin__: I think the Nvidia web site detects what distro you're running on (based on browser agent information). [02:57] kostkon: mono? [02:57] dav_, and mono apps have the .exe extension [02:57] dav_, yeah, the implementation of .net for linux [02:57] kevin__: With openSUSE, it gave me a link to download the installer for the 190.42 driver. But on Linux Mint 7 (Ubuntu 9.04) it gives me a link for 185.18. [02:57] when I use sudo apt-get remove [pack] does it delete the files saving max. disk space possible? ty [02:58] flan_suse, hmm, i didn't see that but i found linux 190 -- i'll give it a go later tonight [02:58] paranoid_ndroid: To completely remove it, use sudo apt-get purge packagename [02:58] flan_suse, people actually use mint? === freaky[t]_ is now known as freaky[t] [02:58] ty [02:58] kevin__: Of course! I love it! [02:58] i think...i have royally screwed my grub [02:58] kevin__: What versino of Ubuntu? 9.04? [02:58] guys i just installed LAMP, is there a nice and easy to use web admin panel out there, also anyone know how i can set up a pop3/smtp server [02:58] flan_suse, there is such a thing as too light weight! haha .. im on 9.10 [02:59] kevin__: Maybe for 9.04 they only have 185, but for 9.10 190 is available. [02:59] ive tried everything to reinstall it but all it does is drop me to a grub prompt [02:59] How can I know what model is my PS2 keyboard in Linux? [02:59] O [02:59] flan_suse, i c, thanks for the help [02:59] flan_suse, so why am I using purge on kubuntu-desktop and he says that I'll save 49kB? [02:59] xtsuname, just put PasswordAuthentication No to your /etc/ssh/sshd_config [02:59] asarch: still working on it? [02:59] mint:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [03:00] paranoid_ndroid: kubuntu-desktop is only a meta-package. Installing it triggers the installation for all the packages needed for a "full" Kubuntu experience. [03:00] oh, I see [03:00] I need a script then [03:00] paranoid_ndroid: Removing "kubuntu-desktop" only removes the meta-package, unfortunately. [03:00] flan_suse, i c, thanks for the help [03:00] Please wait, my Internet connection really sucks :-( Legendre [03:00] paranoid_ndroid: Try this web site. [03:00] does that work for GRUB2? [03:00] @mint:not sure at all. forums would be better bet [03:01] paranoid_ndroid: Check this site out: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [03:01] kevin__: Nvidia has instructions on their download page for Linux users. [03:01] kevin__: But make sure to uninstall completely your current Nvidia drivers. [03:01] flan_suse, k [03:01] asarch: I'll be afk for a few min.. [03:02] Ok [03:02] asarch: PM me with the pbin addy [03:02] kevin__: It might even help if you "sudo init 3" before installing the new drivers, and then while in runlevel 3, type: sudo sh ./Nvidia-190-blah-blah.run [03:02] Ok [03:02] kevin__: Follow the instructions, and then finally, when it is done: sudo init 5 [03:02] Hello all, How do I sort the app list alphabetically in the favorites list on UNR? [03:03] usser, do you know whether it is true that The contents of the keyfile will be appended to the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 for RSA keys, and ~/.ssh/authorised_keys for the older DSA key types.? [03:03] kevin__: You can even check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to make sure it is using the "nvidia" driver, and not the "nv" driver. (nv is the open-source 2D-only driver, whereas nvidia is the propritary driver.) [03:03] xtsuname, yea [03:04] kevin__: In the end, play it safe. Don't mess around too much. [03:04] Maczimus: Under Preferences, go to Main Menu, and change the order under "Favorites" [03:04] flan_suse, heh yea -- probably using flash is not the reason im using linux [03:04] ahh ok thanks flan_suse [03:05] kevin__: I still think it's weird that on my dinky single core Celeron laptop with integrated Intel graphics, flash plays fine. [03:05] kevin__: Did you try flash in another browser? (Not that it will really make a difference, but you never know.) [03:05] kevin__: I know with Firefox, it will gradually become more and more sluggish, unless I close it and reopen the browser again. [03:06] flan_suse, umm which would you reccomend? -- im using firefox [03:06] kevin__: There is Chromium, which uses the same source code as Google Chrome. [03:06] flan_suse, i was under impression chromium was only in beta testing and does not yet have suppport for flash along w/ many other features [03:07] kevin__: It supports flash now. [03:07] kevin__: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [03:07] usser, Cool, I got it working the way I want it to. Thank you very much [03:07] xtsuname, no problem [03:07] You can add the Karmic Chromium PPA, and then install chromium via Synaptic Package Manager. (Install 3 packages, chromium, chromium-ffmpeg, and libv8) [03:07] flan_suse, So Chromium is a Linux compatible Chrome? Or is Chrome available already? [03:08] er, for Linux [03:08] greezmunkey, chrome-unstable is available [03:08] greezmunkey: Chromium is based on the same source code, but it just doesn't have Google's branding all over it. === notfoo is now known as blackberry [03:08] got it, thanks :) [03:08] greezmunkey: In a sense, I prefer Chromium over Google Chrome. [03:08] greezmunkey, google-chrome 4.0.237.0 [03:08] flan_suse, is there an easy way to install chromium or is it pretty round-about? [03:09] kevin__: You can add the Karmic Chromium PPA, and then install chromium via Synaptic Package Manager. (Install 3 packages, chromium, chromium-ffmpeg, and libv8) [03:09] kevin__: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [03:09] kevin__, or for chrome deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable main [03:09] flan_suse, I think I'll give it a try, thanks! [03:09] back [03:09] For Linux, I'd choose Chromium over Chrome. Better privacy too. [03:10] I'm having a problem with my partitions - I screwed up the MBR with GParted, it seems. Which is the right channel for booting problems? I posted the issue [http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=13765 ] and it seems it's just resetting a couple of bits, but don't know how to.... [03:10] kevin__, use the ppa. install chromium. easy. plus you'll get an update everytime there is a new ver ;) [03:10] ubuntus first batch of updates came today anyone else happy? [03:10] http://blog.chromium.org/2008/10/google-chrome-chromium-and-google.html [03:10] kostkon: thx for the clarification. i had no idea :) [03:11] dav_, :) [03:11] ubuntus first batch of updates came today anyone else happy? [03:13] For some reason GParted gets an error when I try to format a USB flash drive to a FAT32 format [03:13] Any ideas? [03:13] flan_suse, You dont prefer Firefox? [03:13] USe Xp [03:13] r00to3: I use Firefox as my "main" web browser, because of all the addons I need to use. [03:14] r00to3: But for quick / fast browsing, I use Chromium. [03:14] so how do i run a checksum on my ubuntu iso download before i use it? [03:14] I am not at all a windows fan [03:14] r00to3: I actually like Chromium better than Google Chrome. It's the same browser, but with fewer privacy concerns. [03:15] flan_suse, <3 [03:15] !md5sum | buttons840 [03:15] buttons840: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [03:15] Any help ? :( [03:16] iLoveWindows: What error message does it give you? [03:16] what are the odds that vi is misbehaving because of a download error? [03:17] hi all, I'm trying to connect my garmin nuvi 850 to my laptop. is there a soft which would show me current location? thanks [03:17] Quick question regarding MBR needing to be rewritten. Will any of these guides work with 9.10, if I have Windows on a seperate disk than I originally wrote my MBR to? [03:17] travisivart: Separate disk? [03:17] someone ask me whats a good gui for Ubuntu... what should i recommend him? [03:17] firewall* [03:18] Hi there a quick question I'm using ubuntu karmy koala and I can restart the computer I've been looking on the internet and try some fixes including rmmod to one kernel module but still not luck any idea how can I fix this ? [03:18] can not [03:18] deviant-route, firewall gui? [03:18] yes [03:18] deviant-route, gufw [03:18] flan_suse, basically, I will be installing windows on a separate disk, and was wondering if it will still overwrite grub in the mbr. and how I would get it back [03:18] wait nevermind, it worked now [03:18] what cha trying to do? [03:18] weird. [03:18] Each physical hard disk has its own MBR. [03:19] hey [03:19] travisivart: Each physical hard disk has its own MBR. [03:19] Chances are it's probably corrupted the parition [03:19] how can I decrypt PGP message in clipboard? [03:19] :( why is there a 2 pixel wide window for selecting the boarder and resizing a window? [03:19] alright, but i just dont really see the use of a gui firewall [03:19] travisivart: You can simply tell your BIOS which hard disk to boot from, and you won't even have to worry about MBR / dual-boot issues. [03:19] flan_suse, thanks so much, that's exactly what I needed to hear. [03:20] can not? [03:20] I've just setup a vpn using the basic example on http://tinyurl.com/m792by and can ping the server from client although can't seem to route all the client traffic through the server, any pointers? [03:20] travisivart: That's what I do on my desktop computer. I have Windows XP installed on a separate disk, with its own MBR, and simply hold down the ESC key when I power on so I can choose which disk to boot from. [03:20] any idea how can I fix ubuntu 9.10 doesn't restart or shutdown my computer [03:20] flan_suse, and grub should be fine recognizing windows in that fashion? [03:20] flan_suse: his question is interessting anyway. when you install windows on a second harddisk, its sure it writes mbr on first disk (or boot will fail) [03:21] costal-> is it a desktop or a laptop? [03:21] travisivart: If I boot from my Western Digital drive, it will boot into Windows XP. If I tell it to boot from my Samsung drive, it will boot into Linux, via Grub. (There is no entry for Windows XP in my Grub configuration, since it's not needed, as you can see.) [03:21] laptop [03:21] travisivart: but as mbr gets overwritte by grub anyway, it should not be nessesary to need anything like that to chainload windows from grub === genii_ is now known as genii [03:22] Rather than use Grub to choose what OS to boot into, I just hold down ESC and tell my BIOS what disk to boot. First disk is Windows, the other disk is Linux (Grub.) [03:22] Ded1cated, well, what I would like is grub 2 to have windows in it as an option [03:22] how can I decrypt PGP message in my clipboard? [03:22] Ded1cated: Oh, what I do is UNPLUG ALL OTHER DISKS when installing Windows. [03:22] flan_suse, Chromium up and running, so far so good! Check out: http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html [03:22] flan_suse: his setup is that currently disc1 is holding the mbr to boot disk2 [03:22] Ded1cated: I HATE the Windows installer. It's so primitive! [03:22] !netsplit [03:22] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [03:22] anyone gotten acx100 drivers to compile in ubuntu? [03:23] flan_suse, that's what i was actually thinking about doing, is just unplugging everything while installing windows [03:23] split! [03:23] travisivart: That's what I did. Windows uses a DANGEROUS installer. [03:23] flan_suse, how's that? [03:23] Ded1cated: He won't have to worry if he unplugs all other disks when installing Windows. The hard drive will have a fresh MBR for Windows, and the OTHER hard drive will be unaffected. [03:24] how do I change the resolution of my tty's, and boot screen to 1600x900, which is my monitor's native resolution? [03:24] flan_suse: its that primitive that you know what it does :) [03:24] flan_suse: isnt his windows already installed? [03:24] flan_suse, yeah, it's terrible without a doubt. I'm just trying to think, if I unplugged all the drives, just so windows has only one drive it can see, and plug in everything else, with that drive at the lowest boot priority, and my boot at the highest, will grub see windows? [03:24] hi, i have a link to a bash file nap-time (with the first line #!/bin/bash) ... i placed a link to it on my panel, and its not working the way it should when i click on the link, but works fine on the terminal, someone pointed out to me taht if i were to emulate the "run in terminal" then it would work ... i need to be able to emulate the "run in terminal" ..... does anyone know how to do taht (i would test some [03:24] stuff out, but the script involves suspending the comp) [03:24] does anyone know how to automount a shared windows drive at start-up? [03:24] Ded1cated, I'm just trying to think, if I unplugged all the drives, just so windows has only one drive it can see, and plug in everything else, with that drive at the lowest boot priority, and my boot at the highest, will grub see windows? [03:24] * Andrew12 wonders if anyone will respond [03:24] Lint: It has a knack for defaulting to the primary master drive, even when you wish to install to a SATA drive, and it completely destroys the MBR, which might have had the information to boot into other systems. Linux, on the other hand, is graceful and will preserve the boot entries for other OSes. [03:25] travisivart: you have to tell him where, but of course :) [03:25] greezmunkey: Yeah, I know. That's why I love Chromium. [03:25] I'm used to using ALT keys in Windows and I noticed that when I try that it doesn't work in Ubuntu. What keys do I use instead? [03:25] how do I change the resolution of my tty's, and boot screen to 1600x900, which is my monitor's native resolution? [03:26] Trizicus: Alt keys? You mean typing Alt and then numbers on the numpad to enter Unicode characters? [03:26] flan_suse, It seems to run my webmail w/o an issue, and fast! [03:26] wgrant: Yes [03:26] flan_suse: instead of pressing f8 you could do a 2 liner in grub to "swap" the harddisks, so your windows hd appears as first when selected just as side note) [03:26] travisivart: If you want Grub to see Windows, you will have to reinstall Grub, or add it manually. But it's pointless if your BIOS allows you to choose which hard drive to boot from. [03:26] wgrant: It's unicode, not ASCII? [03:26] hellyes, a network share or a partition on the same HDD ? [03:26] a network share.... [03:26] I'm having a problem with my partitions - I screwed up the MBR with GParted, it seems. Which is the right channel for booting problems? I posted the issue [http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=13765 ] and it seems it's just resetting a couple of bits, but don't know how to.... [03:26] from a windows 7 machine [03:26] hm, let me see if my bios does allow that [03:26] wgrant: Nevermind about it being ASCII that only has 127 chars... But how do I unicode lol [03:26] Trizicus: Yes. [03:27] Trizicus: Try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey [03:27] I have a pretty damn new motherboard, so I don't imagine that it should have any issues [03:27] Trizicus: It's not the same, but it's much more convenient. [03:27] flan_suse, the only significant part of MBR is 4 partition definitions. Everything else is redundant. [03:27] wgrant: Thanks [03:27] BluesKaj: I need to be able to boot ubuntu and have the windows 7 shared drive be automounted [03:27] travisivart: My Grub is pretty much "1.) openSUSE 2.) openSUSE recovery mode 3.) Memtest" No entry for Windows XP. But, I don't need it, since I just hold ESC and tell the BIOS "Boot from my WD harddrive", which is the one with the Windows installation and MBR. [03:27] flan_suse, that would also be the most easy way ever [03:28] hi! what's the proper way to disable gdm in a xubuntu 9.10? update-rc.d -f gdm remove doesn't seem to work now... [03:28] flan_suse, obviously Windows modifies hd0's MBR, because the computer always boots from hd0 [03:28] grub is giving me an error it says "initrd: command not found" [03:28] ping? [03:28] pong. [03:28] ok. [03:28] Ded1cated: There's probably other workarounds he can do too, but I find it pointless in this day and age, especially with the features motherboards have now, and the cheap prices of hard drives. [03:28] Trizicus: You can just Ctrl+Shift+U , then hit Enter, but you are probably better off setting up a compose key. [03:28] Trizicus: That way you don't have to remember the crazy numbers. [03:29] flan_suse, thanks man, i'm going to try seeing if I can just have boot options bound to a key [03:29] Ded1cated, thanks for the help man [03:29] For 40 bucks I can buy a hard drive and dedicate it for Windows only. No need to mess with Grub or MBR or partitions anything. Plus, the entire drive will be dedicated, and not ruin my partition scheme on my other drives. [03:29] .org [03:29] hardbop200, try gdm.conf change detailed http://paste.ubuntu.com/314778/ [03:30] wgrant, how to use Compose key? [03:30] Does anybody have any clue what the hex code is for 1600x900? (resolution) [03:30] flan_suse: well it fits your needs maybe, but grub has more features, like remember the last used os, and im sure you dont need that much, others do :) [03:30] anybody here good with GRUB2? [03:30] ZykoticK9: thank you, will do! [03:30] Ded1cated: You kind of see what I mean? I think "dual-booting" between Windows and Linux on the same drive is out-dated. Drives are cheap, motherboards are smart. Not worth the hassle, really. [03:31] Lint: Configure a key to act as the compose key (System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layouts->Layout Options->Compose key position). [03:31] Ded1cated: I understand. I'm just more "to-the-point", that's all. [03:31] * Andrew12 hates it when people don't respond to what he's saying [03:31] Lint: Then Compose+' A will create Á, and that sort of thing. [03:31] Ded1cated: And look at what happens when you resize an NTFS partition, Windows has a fit! [03:32] flan_suse: my "2 os on one disk" re-install is 2 weeks old, its absolutely not outdated. before it wasnt diffrent. switched from a raptor to a ssd [03:33] Ded1cated: Hey, whatever works for each person. But we probably shouldn't go on a tangent in this channel. greezmunkey, enjoy Chromium, by the way! And I'm off to bed. Night. [03:33] andrew12, calculate it [03:33] flan_suse: according to ntfs resize, you always need a clean windows boot before (since last ntfs modification) and i personally never had problems with ntfs resize under linux [03:33] * shrike-9 cumprimenta [03:33] hellyes, this might work for you , nothing guranteed with W7 tho : http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/19/auto-mounting-a-samba-share-in-linux/ [03:33] is there an application for using gpg with Clipboard? [03:33] flan_suse: sure, just wanted to show that other peops have completely other views :) [03:33] flan_suse, g'night. [03:34] hey guys [03:34] does anyone here watches the universe? [03:34] Anybody experience this network delay bursts with karmic on MacBook (ath5k driver) [03:34] txwikinger, TOO CLOUDY TONIGHT, BUT OTHERWISE YES;] [03:34] jenia, multiverse/universe / [03:35] CAPS! sorry... [03:35] greezmunkey: too cloudy? [03:35] so i just started getting this systray icon that states "Session active, not inhibited, screen idle. blah, blah talk to distributor. See http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/08/17/gnome-power-manager-and-blanking-removal-of-bodges/ <--- this is a rollover pop-up and I can't click on the icon or understand what it's referring to [03:35] txwikinger, I was kidding with you. [03:36] Guys, is there any way to sync Ubuntu's time with a timeserver or something? [03:36] me [03:36] * huliupeng [03:36] GodfatherofEire: sure. ntp is the keyword here [03:36] ntpdate pool.ntp.org [03:36] GodfatherofEire, check out NTP servers [03:36] Thanks guys [03:36] what can i do when i'm "not authorized" to mound a usb drive? [03:36] wlcm [03:36] mount* [03:36] I usualy use time-a.nist.gov [03:36] !pm | jenia [03:36] jenia: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [03:37] * huliupeng [03:37] is there some way i can see what processes are accessing a given drive? [03:37] pool.ntp.org seems to always be "available", it's the only one I use. [03:37] i have a totally blank unmounted drive that spins up for no reason at random [03:37] innomen: iostat or iotop [03:37] NetEcho, using ntp.org servers is more.... and they are mainly alias for õther servers, like nist [03:37] sorry [03:38] does anybody know how to change a tty's resolution? [03:38] nobody? [03:38] buttons840, open terminal and mount using sudo mount /dev/sd /place/to/mount [03:38] Does ubuntu auto-update the time or do I have to do that manually every once in a while? [03:38] Andrew12: framebuffer [03:38] what's that? [03:38] i dont know if its appropriate to talk about it here, but i'm wondering if anyone here watches "the universe", the show [03:38] txwikinger, what are you looking for? [03:38] !offtopic | jenia [03:38] jenia: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:39] ok, thank you [03:39] Ded1cated: What is framebuffer? [03:39] !jenia [03:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about jenia [03:39] Andrew12: the way to get a higher console resolution. use it as keyword on the ubuntu wiki page [03:39] a solution for those network delays [03:39] very annoying [03:39] Ded1cated, this just tells me how much is being read not what is doingt he reading [03:39] jenia: is "the universe" something that pertains to Ubuntu? [03:39] oh ok, i'll try that [03:40] I'm installing 8.04 onto a drive with XP already on it (desiring GRUB dual boot), and have manually defined a partition for ubuntu in it's setup, but it tells me "no root filesystem defined". Do I have to specify a Mount Point? (default is blank) [03:40] Out_Cold, "you must specify the file type" [03:40] GodfatherofEire: Have a look at System -> Administration -> Time and Date -> Keep synchronized with Internet Servers [03:40] buttons840, what are you trying to mount? [03:40] Nautilus: Specify a mountpoint of '/' [03:40] Out_Cold, usb drive, fat32 [03:40] Nautilus: (that's the root) [03:40] wgrant: ok, no /boot? [03:40] no, its a tv show about the universe [03:40] s/no/not/ [03:40] Out_Cold, I believe it's dev/sdb [03:40] Nautilus: No need. [03:40] innomen: ah sorry. fuser /dev/sda1 or lsof /dev/sda1 [03:40] ok then / [03:40] just installed Dropbox.. where is the Dropbox folder created? [03:41] buttons840, is that a usb drive? is it ext3 or fat? [03:41] ares623, ~/.dropbox [03:41] when i try to boot i get a "Serial 8250: too much work for irq 17" error, any suggestions? [03:41] ares623: Dropbox isn't part of Ubuntu; you'd be better off asking the Dropbox people. [03:41] Out_Cold, ^ fat32 [03:41] iirc [03:41] wgrant: Also I want a swap partition, what Mount Point for that? [03:41] Ded1cated, both of those commands executed without result on the drive in question sdb [03:41] smartasstronaut: switch plug n play bios setting for pci irq, and disable all unused devices (like serial und parallel port) [03:42] is there an application for using gpg with Clipboard? [03:42] buttons840, is it usb drive or hard drive? [03:42] Nautilus: Swap isn't mounted as such. I think you should be fine just setting the type to swap. [03:42] thanx i'll try that [03:42] Ded1cated: the page I'm looking at (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer) doesn't have my resolution (1600x900) [03:42] Out_Cold, it is a usb flash drive [03:42] Lint: Probably, but why not just paste it into a terminal? [03:42] innomen: i know that from experience, searched and did not found any other way to show up the "rest" [03:42] Out_Cold, I'm trying to determine which of the /dev/???? it is [03:42] Hey! Anyone know about *nix hacks for wifi routers, what should I search on...? [03:43] wgrant, because terminal is from 60s? [03:43] buttons840, try sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mount/point [03:43] Ded1cated, so there is no way to determine what app keeps decided to take a look at my unmounted blank drive [03:43] greezmunkey: you should go into a different channel... and try google. [03:43] buttons840, you need to have the directory already made [03:43] Andrew12: there are some additional codes for resolution, but they didnt work for me either. cant use native resolution (1440x900) too === nathan_ is now known as TonyTheTiger [03:44] greezmunkey, http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index [03:44] Hello there, I've just purchased a new laptop and installed Ubuntu on it -- Everything's working great, except power management. My power button and laptop lid actions don't work, such as suspending. Any suggestions? [03:44] Ded1cated: Ah. [03:44] Out_Cold, thanks, funny enough, when i mounted to a folder, the usb shortcut then shows up [03:44] buttons840, sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/external -o uid=1000,gid=100,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137 is the command taken from help.ubuntu.com and gives your user proper permissions [03:44] innomen: If you think that some userland process is trying to access it as a block device you can do "sudo fuser /dev/whatever" [03:44] innomen: there cant be much when not mounted and blank. maybe there isnt anything at all? [03:45] Jordan_U, i did that no result, its a totally blank drive [03:45] buttons840, that happens ;) [03:45] Andrew12: there are diffrent framebuffer "drivers", some are capable with custom resolutions, but i think they dont always run with closed graphic drivers. [03:45] Ded1cated, if there is nothing at all then why does it spin up? i have the hdparm set to spin down afetr 5 minutes and yet it staying hot, it spins up and down at random it seems [03:45] innomen: Try looking in dmesg when it spins up or when you plug it in ( if it's external ) [03:45] Jordan_U, its internal [03:46] dmesg? [03:46] innomen: Kernel messages [03:46] so i just started getting this systray icon that states "Session active, not inhibited, screen idle. blah, blah talk to distributor. See http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/08/17/gnome-power-manager-and-blanking-removal-of-bodges/ <--- this is a rollover pop-up and I can't click on the icon or understand what it's referring to [03:46] Jordan_U, this si new to me, where do i find this? [03:46] innomen: Just run "dmesg" [03:46] Andrew12, I appreciate your efforts to keep the channel clean, but I'll decide what is appropriate for me to ask. If you are an Op I apologize, otherwise... [03:46] innomen: there is a tool (developed for notebooks) to show what causes disk wakeups. cant remember the name atm [03:46] !bugs [03:46] 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 [03:46] ok it just spun down [03:47] Ded1cated, if you do please tell me [03:47] innomen: That will spit out a lot of kernel messages though, to get just the last few lines try "dmesg | tail" or to scroll through it "dmesg | less" [03:47] testing colors [03:47] innomen: powertop [03:47] Jordan_U, thank you, i'll do that [03:47] powertop? [03:47] Out_Cold, i still have no permissions, i'm trying to remember format command, how can i format the drive to fat32? [03:48] reading [03:48] innomen: That is the tool I think Ded1cated was thinking of [03:48] testing colors [03:48] holy cow!!!! [03:48] Jordan_U, you're right [03:49] how can i format a drive from terminal? [03:49] Synaptic is only showing me caniocal maintained packages. how can I install non-free software from the repositories? [03:49] innomen: Jordan_U: yeah i think its powertop [03:49] pinkhat: System > Administration > Software Sources [03:49] pinkhat, poke around in the options, i think there is an enable option for non-free software [03:49] pinkhat: "software sources" [03:50] buttons840: mkfs.* [03:50] buttons840, it may be easier if you do it in gparted but i *think* the command is mkfs.msdos -F 32 /dev/sdb [03:51] Karmic won't remember my resolution settings [03:51] Hello. My system freezes for around 10-20 seconds at the start of bootup. Does anyone know why? It dramatically increases my boot time. I have an nForce 430 motherboard. [03:51] if my username is joe, what is the path to my folder? how do i show this in nautilis? [03:51] JoeSomebody: /home/joe === ad0nis is now known as ad0nis_asleep [03:51] JoeSomebody: nautilus will open in /home/joe [03:51] JoeSomebody, the path is /home/joe/ or ~/joe/ [03:51] I'm trying to configure abiword (2.8, and yes compiling is the only way it seems), and it hangs on "checking if gcc static flag -static works..." and hasn't moved in 5min, anyone knows what to do here? [03:52] Arv3n: check /var/log/messages and "dmesg" around the freeze [03:52] Out_Cold: ~ or ~joe, not ~/joe. [03:52] Thanks, Jordan_U and Ded1cated [03:52] Out_Cold and JoeSomebody : its just ~ not ~/joe/ [03:52] pinkhat: np [03:52] Ded1cated, its an acpi thing i think. i use the option acpi=off and it boots perfectly (no freeze).k [03:52] oh yea.. sorry ~/ is /home/joe/ [03:53] using gparted reminds me of the time i deleted the firmware from my sansa :) [03:53] hey baby [03:53] how can I tell which dev I am currently booted on? [03:53] Arv3n: would use google to find peops with same problem on same mainboard, or let it disabled [03:53] Ded1cated, Jordan_U this app is awesome, thank you. [03:53] testing colors [03:53] ok thanks [03:53] skyl: mount will show you that [03:53] skyl: "mount" in a terminal and look at what device "/" is mounted from [03:54] Jordan_U, you mean "mount -l" ? [03:54] woot Jordan_U Ded1cated [03:54] buttons840: -l just shows labels, which aren't really relevant here. [03:55] hehe i make a break, Jordan_U your free to not repeat my answers now :D [03:55] colors [03:55] I have a disk with MANY BAD SECTORS [03:55] nothing important is on this disk [03:56] skyl: back up backup bkup.. replace [03:56] test [03:56] cje: Colours are disabled in this channel. [03:56] so, there is no way to save this bum disk? [03:56] skyl: It's possible that your disk is lying. [03:56] cje: testing is not allowed [03:56] skyl: warranty? [03:56] skyl: Some disks do. [03:56] yo [03:56] how goes it [03:57] I can't just wipe it ... these are physical problems? [03:57] gotta leave, I'm gonna say peace [03:57] what is a good irc client for ubuntu? [03:57] scunizi, sorry, how do you suggest that I test colors in Xchat? I am new. [03:57] skyl: Physical problems, yes. [03:57] sky1: try GSmartControl on it to see the smart errors? [03:57] cje: Some other channel. Colours will not work in here. [03:57] I can't see the colors that I am typing, because they are too dark. [03:57] i just formated my flash drive to fat32 using gparted, i also ensured there were no flags on the partition (there is only one partition on the flash drive) i get "unable to mount 2.0 gb filesystem not authorized" when trying to mount it... can i not use usb drives with default permissions? [03:57] cje: But using coloured text will not get you well-liked. [03:57] cje: not really sure.. I use a terminal irc client (irssi) [03:57] freaky[t]: I am using chatzilla [03:57] cje, try connecting to a social network not a support net [03:57] freaky[t]: it's a plugin of firefox [03:58] wgrant, as far as I know, I am only changing the colors on my end, right? [03:58] cje: just make your own #cje-channel [03:58] #testing [03:58] cje: It depends which setting you're changing. [03:58] nicle: ah ok i dont want to use a firefox plugin as irc client i want a complete own client for ubuntu [03:58] cje, that's client dependent [03:58] I'm hoping someone can help.. Just installed 9.10 and having trouble with the nvidia x server settings applet. I can set up my display configuration fine, but when I try to click 'Save to X Configuration File' it says "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!" then when I reboot all my settings are lost. Can anyone help? [03:58] freaky[t]: ok, please try xchat [03:58] Out_Cold, I am using xchat [03:58] does ubuntu apache use conf.d? [03:58] run it as root [03:58] anybody know the sudo timeout session cmd? [03:59] nicle: hm i dont like xchat :( [03:59] or how to change the time? [03:59] nicle: but ill have a look at it [03:59] cje, i believe any changes done in preferences are only on your end.. [03:59] Out_Cold, do you have any suggestions for a social networking channel? [04:00] irc.icq.com [04:00] cje: #ubuntu-offtopic :) [04:00] can anyone tell me w hat the fastest dns servers are? [04:00] nicle: another option : irssi, a text mode irc client :) [04:00] freaky[t]: another option : irssi, a text mode irc client :) [04:00] dylan_: I've never had issues with opendns.com [04:00] yea i dont like irssi [04:01] is it faster then 4.2.2.2? [04:01] Anyone know how to disable sudo timeout in the new 9.10??? don't see the normal line in visudo like from 8.04 [04:01] freaky[t]: with screen it's great.. but it takes a while to get use to it [04:01] i know i still dont like it ;D [04:01] i want a good irc client for xchat [04:01] i mean, gnome [04:02] What version of flash player do i get for ubuntu 9.1? [04:02] 1337ingDisorder, There is a nvidia specific command to reconfigure xorg.conf... I'd have to look for it. [04:02] blackberry: try adding the line [04:02] freaky[t]: irssi is the best irc client regardless of DE [04:02] hold on, I'll see. [04:02] Billiard: the line that's missing? [04:02] does ubuntu apache use conf.d? [04:02] rubix, install it from the repos. the package is flashplugin-nonfree [04:03] Billiard: used to be like "Defaults env_reset,timestamp_timeout=-1 (or somin like that)" [04:03] Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me. I just finished building a computer for the first time, and am trying to install ubuntu on it (obviously). However, the screen keeps saying "operating system not found," and I have no clue what to do. [04:03] blackberry: yes if its not there add in timestamp_timeout=-1 [04:03] kostkon, so sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [04:03] rubix, yeap, or use synaptic [04:03] Wesgizmo365: go into the bios and change the boot order [04:03] already did that, Bell_Labs. [04:03] Billiard: so won't hurt to add that entire line? "Defaults timestamp_timeout=-1" ? [04:04] I'll try again though. [04:04] kostkon, brand new to ubuntu, explain. [04:04] blackberry: shouldnt hurt [04:04] Wesgizmo365: also check your installation media, preferably with an md5 hash [04:04] Hi all [04:04] !software | rubix [04:04] rubix: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [04:04] Billiard: thx, will try & not f*#& it up ;P [04:04] 1337ingDisorder, check out :http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/148082-solved-empty-xorg-conf-ubuntu.html [04:04] Hi all [04:05] blackberry: use visudo to edit the file, in case you dont know [04:05] ya, i know. thx tho [04:05] rubix, also check http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installingsoftware [04:05] Can some one help me?

My laptop screen is 1024x600 and my external screen is 1440x900 [04:07] it show me a error of parsing mistakes [04:07] To install from a CD, you have to put Removable Devices above everything else, correct? Or would I put ATAPI CD-ROM at the top? === logan is now known as Guest17048 [04:07] 1337ingDisorder, That one is nvidia specific, hope it helps... [04:08] enav, do you mean xorg.conf? [04:08] yah [04:08] !puregnome | freaky[t] [04:08] freaky[t]: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [04:08] the nvidia-settings does work propertly on 9.10 [04:09] thank you very much!! [04:09] I decided to backup my entire ubuntu server to a flash drive, then wipe the disk, recreate the partitions, and dump the backup again, but now grub is broken. Is there some way I can fix it? [04:09] well i installed that nvidia driver for linux but now i have a bigger problem [04:09] freaky[t]: uninstall all the KDE packages with synaptic [04:09] enav, this is how I did mine (on 9.04) [04:09] I use my laptop with an external monitor when at home and by itself when I am on the move. The icons on the top menu bar in gnome always get scrambled when I switch. Is there a way to make this more managable.

[04:09] i can activate the twenview but cant save changes [04:09] enav: maybe try renaming your xorg.conf to back it up and let nvidia-config create one from scratch, if you dont have any customizations in your xorg.conf [04:09] enav: sudo nvidia-xconfig --force then gksu nvidia-settings you only need to run then nvidia-xconfig script once [04:09] anyone using the "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.36-pkg1" package in ubuntu 9.04?

[04:10] booksbuggy: You want to use System->Administration->Hardware Drivers, not the downloads directly from nvidia. [04:10] i tryed that before and does work [04:10] freaky[t] i am .... [04:10] freaky[t], yea I am [04:10] wgrant: the problem is that the hardware driver doesn't have anything [04:10] freaky[t]: I am using the sytle: clearlook, and it's clean, nice [04:10] Does it matter if I use a DVD-ROM instead of a CD-ROM to put ubuntu on to install it at first?

[04:12] I don't know [04:12] thats the other problem [04:12] freaky[t], if you use synaptic-package-manager, then install the compiz advanced settings manager. yes it is [04:12] it lets me save some type of log but I don't see it. [04:12] ubottu i tryed to do that before but does work [04:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:12] its either hidden in which case I don't know how I would make it visible again [04:12] knoppies: ok thanks ill write thtat down [04:12] iLoveWindows: what does the error say [04:13] !Intelligent [04:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about Intelligent [04:13] some one have a good idea to get nvidia setting work propertly??

[04:32] How does uptime determine how many users are logged in? [04:32] iLoveWindows, ask in ##windows perhaps [04:32] i will post the solution on ubuntu foums [04:32] Yes but I got no choice but to use gparted at the moment [04:32] enav rocks [04:32] Mike-LaMar, it doesn't -- uptime and users logged in are completely separate [04:32] My CD drive is broken so I have to install Windows Vista through a USB drive [04:33] and gparted keeps erroring every time I try to format my USB disk with a fat32 file system [04:33] It's driving me crazy.

[04:33] Luck left my side as soon as I installed Linux [04:34] <_diablo> is there a better way to get help than posting my problem every minute or so? my sound isn't working. [04:34] wgrant: To be more specific, does it count detached screen sessions as being that user logged in? [04:34] Mike_lifeguard: It uses /var/log/utmp [04:34] fooj: Or, if you want to get better stats, use: netstat [04:34] wgrant: well, that doesn't exist on my system, so maybe not? :\ [04:34] Mike_lifeguard: Note that there is the rather more modern 'ck-list-sessions' command which might also be useful for your purposes. [04:34] iLoveWindows: Whats the error? [04:34] Mike_lifeguard: /var/run/utmp, sorry. [04:35] iLoveWindows, how do you intend to put Windows7 on the flash drive if your CD is broken? [04:35] OK I have 8.04 up and running as a dual boot (GRUB) on my XP drive, ubt XP is at the bottom of the list and I need it to be default. tips how to do that? [04:35] anyone experts on Flash [04:35] s/ubt/but/ [04:35] Mike_lifeguard, it's certainly grabbing the same info as the "who" command is [04:35] hello everyone [04:35] fooj: http://www.computerhope.com/unix/unetstat.htm [04:35] iLoveWindows: what does the error SAY?

[04:36] kostkon, much oblidged [04:36] ZykoticK9, wgrant: OK, because uptime says 2 users; ck-list-sessions says 1; who says 1.

Please remount without noexec and run the upgrade again [04:50] cje: flash [04:50] sumeetbali, theres a mac theme out you can install, looks identical to osx [04:50] ctmjr: thanks :) [04:50] oops [04:50] why would anyone want to voluntarily run osx [04:50] typo [04:50] turkeyshoot, the USB type? [04:50] yea i am using that [04:50] James_, probably because its a superior os? [04:50] but is there any way that i can change the boot screen [04:50] feyner, compared to what? [04:51] greezmunkey, well they should all be the same voltage but yeah, im trying to think of how i can charge this 9.6 Ni-Cd [04:51] feyner, any other you can name [04:51] and change the name ubuntu to mac on the bootloader screen? [04:51] you think mac osx is better than ubuntu, feyner? [04:51] James_, .. trolling much? [04:51] greezmunkey, i dont have a ipod, so i dont need the charger, but i also cant check the bat lol, maybe online, thought someone here might know [04:51] trolling osx, i guess [04:51] Hehe, dem's fightin words [04:52] !help [04:52] 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).

It appears to be legal to download http://www.mininova.org/tor/3124617 [04:54] !screencast | migg137 [04:54] kostkon... for ultrastardx the dependencies are not sastified, but via synaptic theres ultrastar ng....what are your thoughts? [04:54] migg137: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [04:55] cje: that works too [04:55] Silent_Echo, oh, let me check [04:55] yes [04:55] can pm you? [04:55] MenZa, which is the best [04:55] Recently, my laptop crashed due to overheating while I was running my ubuntu install (jaunty), and now, every time that I boot back up, forcedeth detects an invalid mac address on my network card. Now, this wouldn't really be a problem, except itp revents me from getting on the internet, as all of my DHCPDISCOVERS fail. Consistently. I did soe research and noticed that some people had this problem after they suspended and came back, so I tr [04:55] ied suspending it and coming back to see if it would reverse it (the MAC is often reversed, actually, always), and nothing happened. So perhaps someone here can help me, what the hell can I do to get it to properly detect my MAC again? [04:55] sumeetbali, sure? no idea why you want to though lol [04:55] hopefully it will play okay [04:55] just curious you got mac off wubi [04:55] sumeetbali, no i did not, i got ubuntu off wubi lol [04:55] heh, funny name: FORCEDETH [04:55] I cast ForceDeth upon ye all! [04:55] or at least i'm trying to [04:55] oh okay [04:55] =þ [04:56] DanaG:I thought so too. It started to really get to me, seeing FORCEDETH over and over, like the computer was wishing me to die. Heh. [04:56] I need a little scripting help, I have lots of files that are name.ext;1 and I need to remove the ;1 from them, how would I do it? [04:56] i have used wubi many times [04:56] ctmjr: I had already figured out that the new grub system uses /etc/grub.d/* to put together grub.cfg, but looking at the scripts in /etc/grub.d/ it's clear that the scripting is beyond me. I just want to change the default boot option from the partition with 9.10 to the partition with 8.04 (the 8.04 option is already in the boot menu, I just want to make it the default). Can you help with this? [04:56] feyner, any ideas what's wrong with my bootup? [04:56] kane77: i can help you in pm if you want [04:56] James_, have you checked to see if your ntfs sriver is outdated [04:56] driver* [04:56] Billiard, sure [04:56] feyner, no i haven't, not sure how to do that [04:57] Also, just another note as to something else interesting about it, whenever it boots up, it no longer displays the graphical loading screen and instead runs through all the startup processes as though in a terminal. [04:57] mxe, i might have an idea that might work [04:57] Silent_Echo, yes, it seems it's a different app but equally good. yeah, i would recommend you to give it a try [04:57] migg137: What's that? [04:57] mxe, its youtube can i post it here [04:57] * DanaG wonders why Ubuntu is being so durn slow at booting.

[04:59] kj [04:59] DanaG: This always thought it out for me. Because ubuntu focuses on ease of use and portability, it loads many many modules that are unecessary for some machines, but needed for others, plus... it is clunky being fair [04:59] l337ingDisorder: found the problem but not sure what causes it. the box has denyhosts running on it. i removed my partners houses ip from the deny.hosts list restarted the denyhosts daemon and it is instantly readded [05:00] anyidea what is causing this [05:00] mxe: in a terminal type lspci | grep Ethernet ..regardless of LiveCD or not you can see the hardware attached.

[05:11] Yarp [05:11] blueglasses, er, your alsa driver is. [05:12] MeVsTheVoices: do you know how to fix the MBR directly, like in the gparted forum link ? what's SGD?

Any thoughts on how best to install it? It seems that it simply decompresses into its own directory, and that's that. Is that right? [05:16] workstation, you probably have a file called bluevibes wich was extracted before the directory [05:17] SeanInSeattle, you can install it with apt-get [05:17] every on go to http://sites.google.com/site/jonasbrothersphotositeclub/ and ckick on the ads [05:17] blueglasses, nope, it just does not want to extract any of my .zips i have [05:17] My nvidia server settings wont save.

Google is proving useless. [05:20] how hard is it to just install [05:21] MrKline: Noone's forcing you to use it. The people in here are volunteers, and with an attitude like yours, I'm not surprised you haven't received any answers. [05:21] blueglasses, within the archive? [05:21] MenZa: Just install 32 bit ff, flash, java [05:21] menza: with trash like ubuntu i'm not suprised it + all other distros only has 3% of the market [05:21] Menza are you talking about a processor? go to #hardware [05:21] Guys, my update manager is displaying wrong file sizes.

[05:22] lstarnes: yeah you know what would fix things? make a installer that installs without a million questions [05:22] Trizicus: I originally installed it manually with libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. I've since removed that, and I'm on nspluginwrapper and flashplugin-nonfree currently. [05:22] I am rather impressed with how well ubuntu interacts with windows devices through our router. [05:22] workstation, try to extract to a different location [05:22] MrKline: then tell that to the developers [05:22] for instance, not the desktop [05:22] MrKline: file a feature request of some sort [05:22] MrKline: Please. This is not the place to argue about this. [05:22] It was so much easier than getting windows devices to interact with *each other* if that says anything [05:22] windows=trash and hard to use === werdan7_ is now known as werdan7 [05:23] ubuntu=very user friendly [05:23] MenZa: I've installed ff into opt ia32 java via synaptic and flash plugin from Adobe.

So from the client I did "sudo chmod 777 -R ~/Downloads/" and now I can read/write all folders and files - so the question is, as long as no one hacks my wifi, is this secure-ish? [05:48] alt-sysrq-s, for sync. [05:48] Nautilus: B is sharing [05:48] woody, you are probably better off not suspending then honestly [05:48] underdog7: ok, was a quick guess [05:48] what is that?

But that was never a problem before. [06:16] Ok ... I am a tad confused now ... I thought that Ubuntu machines could communicate over a network without Samba and that Samba was only really needed if you wanted to mingle Windows machines with Ubuntu machines on the network ....

[06:17] zetheroo: Ehhh.... they can if you set it up, sftp, samba, nfs, the only difference is that without third party software, the only filesharing a windows can do is smb [06:17] NoTownKasper, do you have a share setup?

[06:18] zilla1: That's my problem, I thought I did...I have several folders supposedly shared...but the samba config is asking for all sorts of things it never asked me for before. [06:18] hmm, what else would you use for sharing? [06:19] zetheroo, you would like samba, because it's alternatives are much worse [06:19] "the samba config" the one from the system menu?

[06:20] zilla1: system>Administration>samba yeah. That's what I had to do to even get the folders shared. if I try sharing them via nautilus directly, I get errors about missing lock folders. :\ [06:20] Lint: I have used Samba and I do like it ... but I was sure someone had told me before that its only really needed for Windows to Ubuntu shares and not Ubuntu to Ubuntu shares [06:20] zetheroo: You need either it or one of it's alternatives to share files, but no, you aren't limited to samba [06:20] hmm, did that person say what you should use instead of samba? [06:21] ok, mine's not a clean install, its an upgrade from 9.04, no naturally things are going to be just off enough so that you can't follow where I've been [06:21] MeVsTheVoices: so is there a built in sharing system in Ubuntu? [06:21] DanaG: you talking to me? :) [06:21] I've been messing with Samba settings today, and I saw a mention of locking, but i'll be buggered if i can find it now [06:21] zilla1: Great...:\ [06:21] do you have any other boxen laying around?

[06:49] Jivedue: are you seeing those links? [06:49] gameboo, do you have Z: assigned in Wine settings? [06:49] I dont use wine [06:49] NoTownKasper: obviously you already thought of reinstalling Samba ... [06:49] porter1: It's the open source driver === funkyHat_ is now known as funkyHat [06:49] It's not a windows executable [06:50] zetheroo: Indeed, just did it...and that's the error I received. lol [06:50] it's just a binary file that I made [06:50] gameboo, so what's the error and file permissions? [06:50] zetheroo: Well, received when I tried to create the share. :( [06:50] the module b43 loads but i'm unable to pick up wireless AP's [06:50] let me give it to you [06:50] when doing sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [06:51] q0_0p: Do you have a directory /lib/firmware/b43 ? [06:51] Jordan_U, yes [06:51] zetheroo: I get the same error now when I try to create the share as root too, so at least now the errors are matching, that's progress, right? [06:51] NoTownKasper: right ... have you reinstalled samba from within Synaptic Package manager? [06:51] a.out [06:51] bash: ./a.out: Permission denied [06:51] zetheroo: Yes.

[06:51] oops [06:51] hi everyone [06:51] NoTownKasper: how about complete removal ... [06:52] Jordan_U, looking off of this site http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 [06:52] last Evo datadump was from April. I fail at keeping backups... [06:52] q0_0p: The drivers won't work without that directory [06:52] zetheroo: One moment, let me try that. [06:52] a.out? that's not a built-in program [06:52] Jordan_U, so if i remove the directory i shouldn't be able to modprobe b43?

[06:53] greezmunkey: /usr/local/* (bin files in bin) is the appropriate place, yes. [06:53] q0_0p: You will get an error that the firmware is missing when you try to modprobe it, unless your card can use the reverse engeneered firmware in /lib/firmware/open [06:53] question to the room: how do i file a bug on launch pad? [06:53] "/usr/local/bin is good, for custom and accessible to other users [06:53] greezmunkey: ~/bin for user scripts. [06:53] Flannel, thanks, I'll try it. [06:54] does anyone here know how to view your Ubuntu box on a Mac? I have a headless ubuntu server and I'm trying to get so I can pull up a view of it not using Remote X. [06:54] Jordan_U, my lspci -vvv is telling me that it is using b43-pci-bridge? [06:54] kinja-sheep, off of the users home directory, if I'm reading you correctly? [06:54] help? [06:54] "/opt/program_folder/bin is good too, but you have to create links to the programs [06:54] Jordan_U, the kernel driver in use is b43-pci-bridge [06:54] !bugs | PRIDE [06:54] PRIDE: 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 === obiwan__ is now known as obiwan_ [06:54] greezmunkey: That is right.

[06:55] how much faster [06:55] and gui is better looking [06:55] ah [06:56] it looked the same to me [06:56] still looked like gnome [06:56] compared to 9/04, i feel more responsive [06:56] ah [06:56] i c [06:56] q0_0p: It is more handsome. [06:56] kinja-sheep, I get it. It works! I have to get used to user permissions all over again. I plan to build a test server this weekend, so this stuff is a dry run. Thanks! [06:56] kinja-sheep: That actually more a list of what is broken with karmic :) [06:56] im using 8.10 O_O [06:56] like going from win2000 to win98, it is faster [06:56] and now this karmic is pissing me off.. [06:57] user__, hehe [06:57] greezmunkey: Great! It is easier and that's where I usually plop my scripts in. ;) [06:57] * greezmunkey runs a win2K box for his work laptop. Just lazy I guess! [06:58] I actually used this Ubuntu box all day Sunday at work though, so things are looking up! [06:58] q0_0p: 9.10 is actually one of the largest changes to the theme that Ubuntu has made, though that isn't saying much [06:59] Jordan_U, and speed? [06:59] Jordan_U, i noticed a little speed but that's probably because it was using ext4 [06:59] zetheroo: Ok, I'm seriously getting annoyed now. Complete removal, reinstall, try to create the share, now I get -this- error..."Failed to execute child process "testparm" (No such file or directory)" [06:59] q0_0p: Boots much faster, ext4 like you said. I'm not sure "generally" [07:00] i downgraded myself just to use backtrack 4 i dunno if that was a good idea [07:00] Jordan_U: I hate Dust theme in Karmic. Thick fonts on Apps/Places/Sys/etc -- Had to make a custom theme. :\ [07:00] anyone here use kde? [07:01] it's actually not that bad [07:01] of a look [07:01] kinja-sheep: The default human theme is pretty nice though [07:01] i got tired of the gnome look [07:01] okay, so I just made my router log to rsyslog.d but instead o fht elog info going to just the .log I made for it, it is going there, and to messages, syslog, and user.log Does anyone know how to make it so that it will only goto te one I made? [07:01] Hey all. Would someone be able to help me? I'm trying to setup my first postgresql db. I used createdb but all I get is an authentication error. :( [07:01] Jordan_U: That's true. I like it very much too. [07:02] q0_0p: Try gnome-shell, it's still far from ready ( and doesn't change the gtk theme ) but it looks great and has some nice new ideas about how to work with windows, workspaces, and applications [07:03] Jordan_U, hmm i'll give that a look [07:03] i prefer kde over gnome ever since, but sometimes i like gnome more if i tried it after a long time. [07:03] q0_0p: Or of course try KDE4 or another desktop environment if you don't like the look of Gnome [07:03] i like kde 3.5 for some reason [07:03] i never liked kde4 [07:04] gnome-shell looks cool [07:04] Hello, I'm trying to hack and practice reading everything about my research but, I can't find out why my IRC Hack.EXE is a Reason: The system cannot find the file specified. / Error creating process.

[07:07] * DanaG hates gnome-shell. [07:08] DanaG, GNOME has to do something equivalent of KDE4, and Gnome Shell is that...:P [07:08] KDE4 is better than Gnome-Shell, even. [07:08] At least KDE4 doesn't get rid of the taskbar. [07:08] I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.1 but the installation gave some error messages. How can I repare or reinstall? [07:08] kde4 is not better than gnome [07:08] anyone also experience these issues..? [07:09] kde4 uses too much memory [07:09] DanaG: Why are you so attached to the taskbar?

[07:51] Ronald|Work, a previous post referred to something called mac changer... [07:51] other then a fresh install ;) [07:51] PRIDE: actually, it appears to remove the face brower thing, you just have to fiddle around in gconf, http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/09/hack-karmics-gdm-login-screen.html?showComment=1255584122058#c3361549451992456071 I haven't verified this though, as I'm not on karmic. [07:51] a fresh install won't change the MAC address of the virtual machine. only changing the virtual machine configuration will [07:51] Well [07:52] i don't KNOW the mac i installed this on [07:52] so changing it is not a solution [07:52] agreed [07:52] Ronald|Work: if you don't know what MAC address you need, you can fix it to that. it just really simple. [07:52] *it's [07:52] how :D? [07:52] Flannel, any information helps, i'm fiddleing around on karmic...just not as proficient as any of yall....once i figure out how to do everything i want done i'm going to reformate my computer and apply what i have learned [07:53] Ronald|Work: You don't know -> You can't [07:53] *that* is simple [07:53] secret901: hi [07:53] it is as simple as rediculous? what if I change a card on a physical machine? [07:53] so make someone send you the XML or something [07:53] secret901: so no luck? [07:53] indus: still loading up [07:54] Ronald|Work: the virtual machine is not aware of the host os [07:54] yeah [07:54] so why would the NIC change be an issue [07:55] i just dumped the harddisk on another virtual machine [07:55] Ronald|Work: it's not, you just created a new VM and added the image, right? [07:55] what if i dumped a physical hardisk in another physical machine [07:55] no network? [07:55] anyone know y i can't iwlist wlan0 scan? [07:56] * SpiceMan gives up [07:56] SpiceMan, exactly, so why would the new virtual nic be an issue? [07:56] i've modprobe -r b43; modprobe b43; ifconfig wlan0 up [07:56] "it just doesn't" is worse then windows [07:57] Ronald|Work: I don't know. you said the mac was the issue, I pointed out that the MAC would be different on a different VM (unless you explicitly set it, which you didn't) [07:57] SpiceMan, no thats what i found googling, back to dapper [07:58] Spiceman, Ronald|Work, for giggles, what resources do you think would be necessary to run server 2003 enterprise in a VM on top of ubuntu? (just asking) === LeNsTR is now known as LeNsTR|away [07:58] and i quite frankly think its a pretty damn major ugly bug if the only solution is keep the MAC [07:58] memory and stuff...

I have a server with 2GB ram, and a Xeon processor to play with soon. [08:00] heya .. should vmware server run in karmic yet? what are they calling vmware nowadays? [08:01] greezmunkey, depends what else you do with host [08:01] vmware.... [08:01] Hello. For image organizing I found the tool F-Spot. Looks nice so far. When I want to change the icon of a tag, sometimes I _can_ browse through all images already using that tag, sometimes not. I haven't found out when. Any idea?

[08:02] Ronald|Work, agreed. Maybe all I do is run VMware! [08:03] Ronald|Work, It would be a good learning experience anyway... [08:03] greezmunkey, i mostly use virtualbox, seems to perform better then vmware desktop products... however the biggest issue is when you saturate IO and high memory usage [08:04] Ronald|Work, virtualbox...I'll check it out, thanks!

[08:14] Hello [08:14] i am trying to share my existing ethernet connection through the same internal atheros wifi card [08:14] i have followed the ubuntugeek guide [08:15] to enable using terminal commands instead of just getting firestarter, as i never had much luck using firestarter in the karmic beta attempting the same thing [08:15] anyhow, finished all those steps and had stumbled across this guide http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html to set up the adhoc [08:16] hii [08:16] i am not running network manager that i am aware of i have installed knetwork manager through software center, still using default gnome netbook launcher desktop etc [08:16] hi [08:16] i attempted to create the wifi adhoc network then my icon disappeared near my notifier at the top of the screen? [08:16] dczammit, check this: http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/118935 [08:17] is it safe ? [08:17] dczammit, looks pretty good [08:17] Hey guys, I've got a situation. On a LiveCD I meant to reformat my external HD as ext4, but I accidentally nuked my Windows partition instead. Anyone know of software to recover an entire partition? :P [08:17] Or just the files would still be amazing. [08:17] i was woundering why i cant change the statrup sound (drums) in ubuntu 9.1 [08:18] Active@ Partition recovery [08:18] ? [08:18] wjlafrance: You can try testdisk [08:18] smwn: Does that run on Linux? [08:18] not sure [08:19] Jordan_U: I checked that out but it only detected the ext4 from what I found. Any guides? [08:19] joshuajones: http://magazine.redhat.com/2008/10/16/video-fedora-10-connection-sharing/ [08:19] I know it runs in dos [08:19] wjlafrance: Did you try the deep search? [08:19] so you could make a boot cd to run it [08:20] joshuajones: Netbook remix uses network manager by default [08:20] Jordan_U: I'll try [08:20] smwn: I've only got one CD drive in this box, and I'm running on a live CD, so I can't burn atm. :( [08:20] anyone know of a good irc server for mac osx support [08:20] yes well when i clicked create to create the adhoc network my manager icon disappeared from the top panel?

[08:21] dczammit: I'm sure there's a channel on Freenode. Freenode has everything. [08:21] a-rishi: Are you on 32-bit or 64-bit? [08:21] 32-bit [08:21] a-rishi; 64 bit? [08:22] wjlafrance: except for the softwares that are on oftc ;p [08:22] a-rishi: Applications → Ubuntu Software Centre - search for 'Flash' :) [08:22] I am on 32-bit [08:22] okay. Thanks. [08:22] a-rishi : that or click on "install missing plugins" button when you try to access a page that uses flash [08:22] Apparently there's a firefox plugin to make youtube just use HTML5 tags with an MP4 stream. :) [08:23] wjlafrance: That will be great [08:23] wjlafrance: :o [08:23] Not to mention 1000% easier to download. :P [08:23] ll [08:24] I'm gonna go get a sandwich while deep search runs. Good luck, poor HD. [08:24] Czec [08:25] What command is the same as ipconfig /all in windows?

[08:25] Alright, another thing: I am using empathy for IRC, how can I disable the '[some-user] has connecteced' or '[some-user]' has disconnected. There are too many of them coming :P [08:25] knoxville: ifconfig -a [08:26] Argh. Anyone else here use LVM at all? I need to switch to the (mounted) LVM partition in terminal, and haven't a clue how to proceed [08:26] this is from a LiveCD session, fwiw [08:26] a-rishi: I am sure there is a way to disable it, but for other reasons IRC just doesn't work well with anything but a dedication IRC client [08:26] Madpilot, like.. with the command chroot ? [08:27] irssi ftw [08:27] a-rishi: Try xchat if you use IRC a lot, or for more feature rich clients try quassel or irssi [08:27] HELLO? [08:27] :( [08:27] xchat ftw [08:27] Jordan_U: Ya, I will try those too [08:27] Madpilot: i had to change my root partition from the livecd to an existing install and fix the grub bootloader, theres a few tricks you need in the command line [08:27] I like the themes on empathy :( [08:28] xchat uses gui and is thus fail since you can't run it in screen ! [08:28] Networkmanager bug closing itself out after clicking on create network in 9.10 final release FTW? [08:28] MenZa: Thanks, youtube is working flawlessly [08:28] a-rishi: welcome :) [08:28] Madpilot: If it's mounted then just run "mount" to find where it is mounted and cd to that directory [08:29] Hello any expert with DUKPT encryption/decryption ? i am looking for experimented people only , i pay alot of $ . [08:29] would someone kindly assist me please? [08:29] Jordan_U, thanks [08:29] Vortex: Maybe you should pay Canonical for support [08:29] experimented people...>.> I do think you mean experienced [08:29] was thinking I was making it too complex for myself :) [08:29] Madpilot: np [08:29] guys, has a solution been found to the "Ubuntu one not connecting" bug? I have been checking around but cant seem to find a solution. I am running Karmic and have connected sometimes but not often. [08:29] Vortex, I've experimented with many things and people. [08:30] DigitalKiwi: no he means humans who have been experimented on [08:30] XD [08:30] guyz [08:30] r u all using linux [08:30] I once did a test study for some medicine, does that count? [08:30] ?

[08:31] Jordan_U, further stupid question, would I want the /dev/ string or the /media/ string in my cd command? Being hypercautious here... [08:31] we can pay Canonical ? where do we send the cheque ? [08:31] wjlafrance: can you recommend a good cd burning software for osx? i want audio cd support [08:31] Madpilot: /media [08:32] Vortex: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/services [08:32] dczammit: I was actually joking. It's a half truth though, as the computer next to me is a g3 imac running tiger. But no idea. [08:32] <_marix> hmm, is wpa/wpa2 possible in karmic? [08:32] wobbs: If you want to donate to anything, do so to the Shuttleworth Foundation instead. :) [08:32] bum [08:32] Yes marix [08:32] Or the buy a poor programming student a laptop that'll charge fund. That's me.

[08:40] guess i'm left to google myself [08:40] hey guys [08:40] Silent_Echo, plug in USB stick boot UBUNTU CD Install the distro on the USB stick and then boot again with the UBUNTU CD and go under live and then mount the USB stick and modify the grub config and voila you have a bootable Ubuntu distro on a usb stick [08:40] but yeah, dczammit, that sounds like that would have been an amazing project and piece of hardware to work on creating [08:40] wjlafrance, mmm yup understood none of that....thanks anyways...i'll try to find it on youtube [08:40] anybody know ubuntu-mobile very well?

[08:48] easy way to check: [08:48] go system-appereance [08:48] sorry [08:48] system-preferences-appereance-visual effects [08:48] select "none" to disable compositioning / others will use comp. [08:48] dczammit, that's what i did before, the problem as i told you and you should be enought intelligent to understand it, it's not the same to boot on a 750 mb compressed file than a 2 giga installed ubuntu, they are both working on all computers and i install grub on the usb pen drive so i can directly mount iso from the grub 2 now and have the live cd to install the ubuntu if i want it, like i have my xubuntu personnal (better [08:48] than usb live key persistent booting really faster) and i have many entries of all iso i putted in a directorie in my grub [08:48] mwallner, so if the effects aren't on then compositing isn't either? [08:48] mwallner: is there any command to show dns servers in terminal? instead of opening resolv.conf [08:49] @alex87: right [08:49] mwallner, ah ok, thanks [08:49] @knoxville .. sorry -> don't know.. I use "cat /etc/resolv.conf" [08:49] !attitude | jacquesdupontd [08:49] jacquesdupontd: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [08:49] and got an alias for it [08:49] dczammit, means i can put xubuntu + entrie of xubuntu live cd.iso + entrie of knopix (example), + entrie of windows seven + entrie of even mac os x snow leopard [08:50] guntbert, i sorry myself but i don't see about what ? [08:50] mwallner: Okay, just my teacher wants me to find out!.. :) But I dont think there is! :) [08:50] o.k.. [08:50] @knoxville.. try this: [08:50] jacquesdupontd: "the problem as i told you and you should be enought intelligent to understand.." isn't really friendly, is it? [08:51] @knoxville create a file in /usr/bin (touch /usr/bin/tell-dns") echo some dns-lookup command in it (echo "cat /etc/resolv.conf" > /usr/bin/tell-dns) .. make it executable (chmod o+x /usr/bin/tell-dns) .. you'll be fine :D [08:51] guntbert, i'm volunteers that doesn't mean i wanna broke peoples computer cause i wanna help them on subject i don't know at all and look at their sentences it was more like, haha you newbie you think it's faster on a usb pendrive ? as i asked nothing and never tell it was, i don't call that help but more reproach [08:51] jacquesdupontd is an amazing man. He can insult the intelligence of others while putted things in directorie. [08:51] mwallner: Haha, i'll try that! : [08:52] jacquesdupontd: ok, maybe I misunderstood... - sorry then [08:52] ima hacker <3 ima learning python [08:52] lol [08:53] guntbert, i understand i must admit that was hard and i appologize but i hate people that advice me about things i know since level 1 as i'm at level 30 and to loose time but i shouln't talk like that and keep it for myself reaction === felix is now known as roflparrot [08:53] jacquesdupontd: :) [08:53] im level 1337 [08:53] <|ntegra|> how can I change the permissions on my folder when it belongs to root and I can't change it with gksu nautilus?

[08:58] knoxville: try sudo /etc/init.d/nscd restart [08:58] wjlafrance, I probably Z'd it by abruptly disconnecting the Ethernet connection once I got the wireless driver installed on the 2nd laptop.

[08:59] <|ntegra|> hmm [08:59] knoxville: the /etc/init.d scripts have been ported to upstart .. most of them [08:59] heh, you can't kill the dead! [09:00] knoxville: ok.. this should work.. install nscd daemon :D .. just found out it isn't installed by default [09:00] knoxville: use this: sudo apt-get install nscd [09:00] knoxville: then you can restart it.. flushes dns-cache [09:00] mwallner: roger over! :) [09:01] mwallner: I would like a "flush dns" command like in win..

[09:01] knoxville.. should be even easier: /etc/init.d/dns-clean start [09:01] knoxville: i've never used that before.. but it should work ;) [09:01] knoxville: ... /etc/init.d/dns-clean start comes pre-set-up on any ubuntu machine as far as i've seen in the man-pages [09:01] mwallner: How could I check if it worked? :) [09:02] knoxville: try ping google [09:02] should take longer for the first result [09:02] What is a direct probe to AP in a dmesg message ? It's timing out. What told it to direct probe ? [09:02] knoxville: because it has to lookup the dns first [09:03] OMG I have finally gone and done it. Tweaking *nix with Star Trek on TV. Gone Geek...

[09:04] anyone around? [09:05] mwallner: It says it flushed actuelly, but the ping time is the same for 1 hit and fifth hit..

Anyone know the best way for me to get aa different version? Rolling back is fine if it is the only option. [10:41] Valentina: what do you mean? the tarball itself can be damaged and you cannot extract files inside it in some case cases [10:41] chtoopid question about filing a bug ... how do I find out what package to associate the bug with? touchpad buttons not swapping is probably caused by two programs from the multitude of applications between the GUI and the actual configuration file not understanding each other ... [10:41] only been heree 10 mins and no one has been able to suggest a recovery strategy [10:41] Valentina: I dont think it is possible to DAMAGE files by using tar [10:41] Valentina: if the file is not corrupted. ther is no risk.

[11:10] Cyberkilla: none is forcing to use empathy. pidgin is on aptitude install away [11:10] pidgin is good.. but there's one stupid thing about it..

No error message in Empathy. Just "connection failed", which is rather generic. [11:11] hey guys, im trying to install 8.10 on this laptop. It has XP on it already. It is an old laptop so I ran chkdsk on it and it reported no errors but when I try to install Ubuntu it comes up with an I/O error, dev 0, sector xxxxx [11:11] right on this.. but pidgin just stupidly stores passwords as plain text.. I rather use empathy with gnome-keyring that crashes after resume ^^ [11:11] any idea? [11:11] I've had to go back to Pidgin. Empathy does feel a bit more organised, but perhaps that is because it is missing a ton of features. For instance, you can't even do /topic or /nick in XMPP [11:11] Jimi_Neutral: when exactly do you get this error [11:12] !mp3 [11:12] 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 [11:12] iTunes 9.0.2.25 stopped [11:12] mwaller: I didn't know it stored passwords as plaintext.

[12:21] !lol [12:21] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [12:21] iceroot: i think it may have been, but disabling the controller I thought made it not? [12:21] rycrostud: yum is opensuse [12:21] rycrostud: or fedora [12:21] yast is opensuse [12:21] suleman, Many perfer Python and numpy instead [12:21] Empty_foo: yum also [12:22] iceroot: alright... but I'll have to restart the pc, as I won't be able to reset gnome ;p [12:22] BRB [12:22] no, yum is rh suse is debian based [12:22] rycrostud: dont use suse-repositorys or rpm with ubuntu [12:22] iceroot: also I have two HDD drives, but when I install it just shows one mapper drive and it is the size of both my drives combined [12:22] Empty_foo: suse is not debian based [12:22] Empty_foo: suse is what [12:22] Yes, ubuntu is a subset of debian [12:23] Younder: superset, no? [12:23] I can play youtube films. I radder use only free software if that is possible. I,m using Karmic 64bits.

I see [12:25] i have a problem [12:25] nicolas_: mapper = raid [12:25] whit a script [12:25] in bash [12:25] torocatala: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[12:26] !alternate | nicolas_ [12:26] nicolas_: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.

When i do manually, it works perfectly, but when I run the script, fails [12:26] iceroot: thanks [12:26] Younder: no, I was just speaking about how the repositories compared; what's available instead of what's default [12:27] torocatala: its because of the working directory [12:27] How do I see the running processes? [12:27] Take0n: system -> administration -> system monitor [12:27] torocatala: use absolute paths, not realtiv paths or set the working directory [12:27] Take0n: top (on shell) [12:27] iceroot, i try whit absolute path already and fails [12:27] Thanks. I'm not looking for an RPM, but a yum repo that has a more up to date version of OpenSSH available. [12:27] thanks jrib and iceroot [12:27] Hi guys, how can I enable usb autosuspend as default in my 9.10? [12:28] jrib, ubuntu is minimalistic. And then you add as you go. Debian contains the lot. Including a lot you wil never use. [12:28] torocatala: use set -x in script, to enable debbunging for the bash [12:28] thx iceroot [12:29] Hi! [12:29] Where can I get libstdc++.so.5 for Ubuntu 9.10? [12:30] Hm.. I am running tilda and I want to set it's transparency through compiz.. I go to Opacity settings in compiz and add name=tilda and value 10. I played around with value but nothing changes.. I do the same for gnome-panel using name=gnome-panel value 10 and it works just fine [12:30] jrib: And it ain't helping!... Bleh! Can it be my current firefox does not support this java? Though i tried one from java.com too, allright. [12:30] how can I change the reserved space for users on hard drive?

There's not much point in doing that. If you use the repository version, you don't have to worry about updates since update-manager takes care of that.

[12:47] is there anyway to tell which version of alsa i have? [12:47] mwallner, No you can't hardy crash it as support software run's in a sepperate process [12:48] jarod51: this could help http://www.bauer-power.net/2009/05/getting-adobe-air-to-work-in-ubuntu-904.html [12:48] jrib: I typed this in: "readlink -f $3.5.5", i assume i did something wrong though [12:48] Youder: but that's nice =) [12:48] SetiAmon, uh, any filter that gives the impression of a "crisper" sound or such will, by definition, be altering the audio, and therefore make it *worse* for any good input [12:48] theadmin: don't change anything: readlink -f $(which firefox) [12:48] ...why the HELL is it in /opt!?!!?!

[12:49] jrib: Oh. Okay. [12:49] i will probably just install Ubuntu on this work computer today but I hope that it is compatable with the hardware heh otherwise i just waste time [12:49] tigertiger: Go to a terminal, run this "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" [12:49] tigertiger: you need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras to get the mp3 codec [12:50] mosta, samba is wins [12:50] will Ubuntu recognize bluetooth keyboard/mice on boot or do i have to pair them everytime? I ask because when i used Fedora it made me pair them with Bluez every boot === The is now known as The_Trooper [12:50] hey o [12:51] for sometimes when streaming music or audio in movie player I get a slight buzz [12:51] Is it allowed to ask help questions in here?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:51] i tried installing restricted extra's,codec's etc but that just screws up the audio and then i have to purge [12:51] theadmin : how i go to a terminal .. I am a newer [12:51] i can't connect with telnet? To my box or anything else [12:52] tenebrae: Just ask [12:52] brad__: what? [12:52] brad__: use ssh [12:52] !ssh | brad__ [12:52] brad__: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [12:52] SetiAmon: then it's probably a problem with your audio setup. Can you play a file which ubuntu has built in support for eg. ogg? [12:52] Cool, simply put - other than the PPPOECONF terminal fix, is there any other way in GUI which you can save and not have to do every time to make DSL work on 9.10? [12:52] can anyone help me understand this error http://pastebin.com/d1adc234d (be gentle im a noob) [12:53] yeah [12:53] !gksudo | Mcnuggz [12:53] Mcnuggz: 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) [12:53] when playing in flash in browser and stuff its fine [12:53] tigertiger: Applications -> Accesories -> Terminal [12:53] eitherway,I am still putting my computer after going back to jaunty [12:53] SetiAmon: what happens to the audio when you install the restricted extras? [12:53] has any progress been made in karmic about audio [12:54] london98:static,distortions,breaks. [12:54] http://pastebin.ca/1664812 anyone can explain why it wants to remove those pkgs? [12:54] Pici: i still get the same error with gksudo [12:54] SetiAmon: do you use a soundcard (which?) or built in ? [12:54] it doesn't matter,the soudn is fine i guess,its just a annoying static type sound but 1000x better then it was in karmic [12:54] ah well, I am just kinda surprised they haven't fixed that yet. It's what's keeping me from getting the quite nice 9.10 [12:54] X-Fi [12:54] Mcnuggz, do other commands w/ sudo work? Is it just nautilus? [12:54] hi , can somebody help me , i need to monitoring process activity and build a chart , can i do this , and whats tools i need to use [12:55] Mcnugg: what do you need a root nautilus for I'm sure you could do it via commandline [12:55] So, no DSL fix in 9.10? [12:55] mm [12:55] what does pkg{u} mean? [12:56] if i do sudo gedit it opens with no errors [12:56] freetime: as map a project you're doing or measure computer resources/ [12:56] Hi guys, i got a program with no extension and i got no clue on how to run it, can someone point me in the right direction? [12:56] Mcnuggz: dont use sudo with gui-program [12:56] Hi [12:56] Madpilot: i try to get samba to work [12:56] !gksudo | Mcnuggz [12:56] Mcnuggz: 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) [12:56] Oy, hmm [12:56] !it [12:56] 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) [12:57] yeah kinda what I expected. [12:57] London90: map tasks activity , how much from memory consume for exemple kdm [12:57] eise: then how to you know it's a program? files often don't have extensions in linux. If it's a program you may just need may it executable with a permission === sleeping`dragon is now known as error404notfound [12:58] London90, it is: http://gridwars.marune.de/ [12:58] I type this command to install mp3 but [12:58] Mcnuggz: It doesnt matter if it works, it may be causing permissions issues that could cause issues later. Anyway. I found http://launchpad.net/bugs/434921 which looks to be the same issue. One commenter suggested removing ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus and then trying it again. [12:58] the system tell me it is wrong [12:58] tigertiger: what command? [12:59] did anyone by modern warfare 2 [12:59] what can I use to defragment ext3 filesystem? or a certain file only? [12:59] eise: if you have unzipped then right click on the gridwars file, go over to permissions then check the execute as a program box [12:59] sudo apt -get install ubuntu -restricted -extras [12:59] tigertiger: apt-get, not apt -get [12:59] Lint, i believe ext3 doesn't require defragging [12:59] Lint: you don't need ext3 doesn't fragment in the like fat and ntfs [12:59] hi can i ask a qurestion please [12:59] what about ext4?does it need defragging [12:59] SetiAmon: nope [12:59] of course it does [12:59] jet: of course [13:00] k cheers [13:00] tigertiger: You have an extra space next to every dash there. its sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:00] join #linuxmusicians [13:00] jet: don't ask to ask, just ask [13:00] damn [13:00] London90, ntfs doesn't fragment much, it's a FAT thing [13:00] London90, its already checked [13:00] i just install ununtu 9 [13:00] Younder: hence the name :-D [13:00] tigertiger: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:00] when i go to teminal and type su [13:00] I got Ubuntu 9.10 if thats information you might need [13:00] what does pkg{u} mean? [13:00] tigertiger: without your whitespaces [13:00] eise: the to run it just open a terminal then type "./gridwars" without the quotes and it should work [13:00] tigertiger: "ubuntu-restricted-extras" without spaces [13:00] I'm going to add one more hard drive to my machine. Shall I connect it and then just boot again and afterwards format the newlt inserted hard drive or shall I boot into a Live Cd and then format the new hard drive? [13:00] *newly [13:01] if epiphany... [13:01] !sudo | jet [13:01] it asks for password but every time i put my password in it says fialed wrong password [13:01] jet: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [13:01] Lint, ext3 is fundamentally different to NTFS or FAT [13:01] Vatlentina: just booting again should be fine. Ubuntu should pick it up and let you format it. [13:01] system tells me that : can not find the packages: ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:01] jet: because su wants the root-password, but there is no root-password/account, so use sudo [13:01] jet: when you use su you need to enter root's password, not yours [13:01] After running a /.configure file at the end i get this error: "logging.cc:65: error: ‘snprintf’ was not declared in this scope" what am i supposed to do? [13:01] London90, seriously you can loose 30 % on a large disk by using FAT [13:01] i want to paly mp3 file [13:01] jet: the root password usually isn't set by default on ubuntu [13:01] Lint: ext filesystems generally only have fragmentation issues at very high utilisation levels. [13:02] I have a 400kb file which occupies 9(!) extents, you call that 'desn't fragment'? stop telling nonsense and tell me how to defragment it [13:02] iceroot can you help me again?

[13:03] Hey all [13:03] !lol | kamikazzi [13:03] kamikazzi: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [13:03] friendishan: stop that please [13:03] has anyone successfully gotten ubuntu to hibernate properly? [13:03] I made it [13:03] miked595: yes, depending on the hardware [13:03] woot woot [13:03] cheers m8 that worked :) [13:03] my totem movie player closes as soon as it starts [13:03] help [13:04] iceroot: acer aspire one [13:04] tigertiger: open system>administration>software sources and make sure multiverse repo has check mark next to it it will be the 4th one down [13:04] I require some assitance [13:04] Hi! Kubuntu crashed while upgrading to 9.10. After that I got "One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted". Never got over that, so I used recovery console to remount sda3 with rw access and finished upgrade. Now I think my Python2.6 is broken. Trying to (re)install (almost) anything gives "'import site' failed..." (including 'apptitude install -f'). How can I fix this? [13:04] epinky [13:04] my totem movie player closes as soon as it starts [13:04] Younder: would there be any reason not to use ntfs for flash pen?? [13:04] ssh won't work wither...can't connect to any ips [13:04] noobuntu: Ask [13:04] !patience | friendishan [13:04] friendishan, please see my private message [13:04] has anyone successfully connected to a windows share on another pc from ubuntu 9.10? [13:04] I'm running a new ubuntu installation on my sun virtual box [13:05] eise: then you probably don't have that library installed. So you need to find it in synaptic. Can you do that? [13:05] London90, compatabillity with windows 95-98 [13:05] sp4z: yup, having problems? [13:05] after adding an additional slave hdd partion to my ubuntu virtual box, I cant seem to mount or find that newly add hd [13:05] ? [13:05] what can I use to defragment ext3 filesystem? or a one certain file only? re-creating [13:05] London90, nothing you should worry about [13:05] I have a 400kb file which occupies 9(!) extents [13:05] i have no software sources option [13:06] !defrag | Lint [13:06] Lint: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this.

I'll change it ntfs. I remeber looks into ages ago and there was some reason not to (possibly ntfs support in linux) oh well [13:06] Lint: ext3 allows no fragmentation like ntfs or fat [13:06] everytime i try to connect with putty it says connection timed out [13:06] london90, no not yet :D [13:06] my totem movie player closes as soon as it starts [13:06] iceroot: napster: that's patently false.

[13:07] London90, ntfs is seen in linux , read-write capable , if that's what you mean by support [13:07] sp4z: yea, sometimes vista has trouble because is only accepts one kind of authenication that linux doesn't support [13:07] my totem movie player closes as soon as it starts [13:07] my totem movie player closes as soon as it starts [13:07] It does fragment.

[13:08] friendishan: we heard you the first time, it doesn't seem like any has any ideas. [13:08] all filesystems fragments in exactly same way [13:08] I got photoshop cs4 working great it even works better than in windows [13:08] ok [13:08] still can't believe it [13:08] sipior, Good call, btw [13:08] !patience | friendishan [13:08] friendishan: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[13:10] epinky : this time it hanged up. [13:11] packages [13:11] Lint: I was speaking generally. You may, of course, be having a specific issue that is an exception to the rule. [13:11] w1redo: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [13:11] London90: install the gstreamer ffmpeg file [13:11] BluesKaj, how disk checkis gonna help with fragmentation? [13:11] BluesKaj, It's been upped to about 67 boots now. [13:11] miked595: fsck does nothing to alleviate fiel fragmentation [13:11] indus: what for? [13:11] oops bad timing [13:11] thanks [13:11] London90: you were looking for some codecs? [13:11] are the fixes that were done as part of "100 paper cuts" project integrated into karmic? [13:11] sipior: well if it doesn't fragment ;) [13:11] anyone ever had the text-based ubuntu installer show mangled text? If yes, how the * did you fix it ? :) [13:11] indus: I wasn't but thanks anyway :p [13:11] what is 100 paper cuts [13:11] kane77, where it could be... [13:12] London90: :P [13:12] * sipior sighs [13:12] Lint, it realigns the data blocks there is any fragemnentation [13:12] sp4z: you could install ssh, or setup an ftp server or something like that [13:12] kane77, most of them, I think [13:12] if [13:12] London90: Ok, thanks, I'll try to connect it and reboot. [13:12] * indus asks why the *sigh* [13:12] sp4z, I use Mono and ModoDevelop as a iDE. Is that what you mean? (It tends to hang a version behind .NET) [13:12] I am struggling to connect to my wpa2 network from my desktop computer (just upgraded to Karmic), however it works fine from my karmic laptop (which has been running karmic since alpha3), does anybody have any suggestions as to what is wrong? [13:12] Madpilot, cool I really like that someone is fixing the little annoying things [13:12] BluesKaj, so how can I force fsck? [13:12] Lint, man mount man fsck [13:13] tigertiger: could you post results? [13:13] tigertiger: open system>administration>synaptic and look for ubuntu-restricted-extras in there [13:13] syn-ack, lint went out with ANSI C, grow up [13:13] dashavoo: GNOME or KDE? [13:13] indus, it is project to erradicate 100 most annoying things (usability problems) in ubuntu [13:13] Tatzelbrumm: Gnome [13:13] I'm looking for a different behavior for alt-tab and/or windowskey-tab. A simple list that not only lets me cycle through, but that I can click on a specific window with the mouse instead of cycling all the way around. [13:13] tigertiger: yep, use synaptic, it's better [13:13] gadget3000 ive just tryed that and its sayin same thing to me it cant find the archive [13:13] Younder, was that supposed to be a joke? [13:13] kane77: aah ok cool, i couldnt understand what it meant,i thought all silly issues which would never be fixed [13:13] dashavoo: in that case, my laptop doesn't reproduce your error. It had difficulties under KDE but not GNOME. [13:14] london90, younder, well from windoze pc to win pc you would just type in the run box i.e \\10.1.1.9\c$ and then enter user and pass, is that functionality in ubuntu anywhere? [13:14] syn-ack, yes [13:14] syn-ack, fsck warns about corruption if run on mounted filesystem [13:14] thank you all the guys [13:14] London90: The solution would be: sudo apt-get install libstdc++5, but i can't seem to install version 5 [13:14] gcola: that's called the task list on the panel [13:14] Younder, Sorry, completly lost on me. :( [13:14] gcola: does the Scale plugin in compiz work for you? [13:14] Anybody know of a way to limit which logins are listed in the gdm login screen? [13:14] Tatzelbrumm: my laptop is also fine, which is what is really confusing me. [13:14] Lint, which is why I told you to man mount as well [13:14] Lint: you can't be on the filesystem and fsck at the same time [13:14] sp4z: yes, you just click on network in nautilus and navigate to your share [13:14] sp4z: yes [13:14] Alsow it doesn't show up in Syn [13:15] Lint, you can cause severe damage if force fsck , the dev must be unmounted afaik [13:15] fsck -r is a good option [13:15] fsck -r -v [13:15] sp4z, I still use PyLint.. [13:15] you can boot with the live cd and fsck the partition that way [13:15] Lint, you also can man shutdown [13:15] london90, younder, cheers [13:15] eise: Then I don't know what to suggest, sorry. It might be worth looking for the support that goes with the game. [13:15] support file: find londen90 in #Ubuntu :P [13:16] hello. can anyone tell me, how to change default WM from gnome to icewm, in remastered boot cd? please. [13:16] if you want to fsck the drive, just do this prior to a reboot: sudo touch /forcefsck [13:16] syn-ack, my shutdown has no filesystem check option [13:16] Lint, look at what ascheel and indus just told you... [13:16] how can i find my ip off pc in ubuntu 9 [13:16] eise: teehee [13:16] nice shutdown -F [13:16] gcola y Ctrl+shift+up, that might be what you are looking for (and then go and change the key binding at System»Preferences»Keyboard Shortcuts »» Initiate window Picker) [13:17] dashavoo: not really confusing ... I suspect that these errors are caused by communication difficulties between one of the excessively many abstraction layers ... it just doesn't support your particular wireless hardware. but that's just my uneducated guess. [13:17] jet: click on the network icon in the top right corner and then connection info [13:17] jet? [13:17] love man pages [13:17] i need to know the ip of my sever for vnc [13:17] ifconfig [13:17] In a terminal. [13:17] external ip? [13:18] jet: are you using a web provider? [13:18] miked595, yeah, they're really handy when you actually read them... unlike some people. [13:18] i m8 [13:18] syn-ack miked595: amen, rtfm [13:18] jet: if you are behind a router using NAT then using an external site to get your public IP might be easist: http://www.xpertdns.com/myip.php [13:19] hi, i am partitionaing ubuntu, is boot partition ext3? [13:19] dumnut, it can be... [13:19] dumnut: which version of ubuntu [13:19] is it possible somehow to tell dhcp that I want certain IP address? I know it is possible to configure some routers to give certain IP address for certain MAC addres, however it is not possible on mine [13:19] mcnuggz: what are you trying to do with nautilus that requires root? [13:19] hi syn-ack hi Gadget3000, 9.04 [13:19] dumnut: I would still reccommend gparted for linux partitions though [13:19] kane77: you must reserve DHCP IP addresses on the server dishing them out [13:19] dumnut: probably ext3 then [13:19] jet. if so ifcongig (an command line program) will do it. [13:20] are there any good macro recorders for ubuntu? [13:20] kane77: or you could change the ip settings on the client to static. Though if that address is already taken you could have problems [13:20] This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) already running. Please close that application first. [13:20] why? [13:21] Unable to get exclusive lock [13:21] epinky : u der? [13:21] are there any good macro recorders for ubuntu? [13:21] syn-ack: London90: No manual entry for hibernate :( [13:21] when i want to open synaptic [13:21] there is an error : Unable to get exclusive lock [13:21] why?? [13:21] tigertiger, you are root , but not system root [13:21] angelus: Ctrl+shift+up does nothing for me. I can manage to change the keybindings. I'm just trying to find the right window picker to bind to. [13:22] is there any good programs i can use to copy files from my pc to my linux server ? [13:22] whoever said that fsck 'realigns data blocks' and combat fragmentation this way is damned liar [13:22] i am in the gui interface ,how do i deal with ?? [13:22] jet: i like to use scp [13:22] I've recently installed 9.10 w/Gnome. Previously I was running 8.04 and KDE. I liked the default window picker for KDE better. [13:22] os is ubuntu GUI [13:22] Lint: yep. [13:22] jet: you could user teracopy on your windows machine to copy them over. Or just use the inbuilt system copier [13:22] are there any good macro recorders for ubuntu? [13:23] Lint, http://blogs.pcworld.co.nz/pcworld/tux-love/2009/11/hidden_linux_what_the_fsck.html [13:23] Actually, it seems my computer won't authenticate to any wireless network, not just a WPA2 one. It does see all the networks I expect it to, just won't connect. [13:23] gcola: use kubuntu instead. it has DKE built in so is more stable than putting it into ubuntu [13:23] tigertiger: you might have a program using apt running or crashed. You could try restarting the computer. If that doesn't fix it then i'd go with Youder's suggestion [13:23] I am root ,, but not system root ....how can do now ? [13:24] How do I enable hiberation on Ubuntu in karmic if it has already been installed? [13:24] gcola huh .... well its the "Initiate windows Picker" on Keyboard shortcuts menu..... change keybinding to something viable and check it out .... [13:24] gcola: *KDE [13:24] dashavoo: are you sure you're wireless adapter supports wpa2 [13:24] Gadget3000: Thanks, but not sure I want to switch to KDE just for the window picker, but I'll think, about it. [13:24] i restart my computer just now [13:24] are there any good macro recorders for ubuntu? [13:24] jagjr: ive seen some in the repos for some tasks. [13:25] fasta: you can click you user in the upper right hand corner to and select hibernate to test it out. I'm having the problem of it actually working [13:25] BluesKaj: fsck fixes filesystem errors. fragmentation is not an error, per se, but a result of the block allocation algorithm. it simply won't fix filesystem fragmentation. [13:25] fasta, Hibernation is installed by default. All should need to do is click on hibernate in your shutdown menu [13:25] Dr_willies : i need some that click in more than one place [13:25] syn-ack, it doesn't work if your swap is not large enough. [13:25] Dr_willis : i need some that click in more than one place [13:25] tigertiger, type from the command line 'sudo passwd root' [13:25] fasta: It should be enabled by default but you may need to change some bios settings to get it to work properly [13:25] London90, do you know of any utility that would for instance translate the MAC address to actual IP of that computer? [13:25] syn-ack, see the release notes. That's what I meant by "enable". [13:25] . [13:25] i chose partition ex3, but it says no root system chosen? [13:25] Gadget3000, BIOS is irrelevant in my case. [13:25] fasta: sipior: my swap is 4gb and it still doesn't work [13:25] fasta, you need to be a bit more clear then [13:26] tigertiger, enter accont password and figure out a system password [13:26] I have aproblem with Ubuntu 9.10-Desktop i386. When im installing packages like g++ and hardware drivers, it always says "Please insert cd Ubuntu 9.10.." or something like that. But when i insert the installation cd, it says the same thing. Can someone make this work? [13:26] London90: yes, I was using it on jaunty since July up until this morning [13:26] kane77: nope i'm not sure that's possible, mac isn't linked to ip address in the same way as dns name [13:26] fasta, you're gonna have to repartition some more swap space on to the drive... which filesystem are you running? [13:26] sipior, ok tell Lint , he seems to think he needs to defrag ..maybe you can tell him how to defrag or not [13:26] i want some easy questions [13:26] anyone? [13:26] fasta, And, btw I know what the release notes say [13:26] Younder: erm, please don't recommend setting a root passowrd here, especially when there's no reason to do so [13:27] tigertiger, then do the 'su' [13:27] syn-ack, ok, so when I say "hibernate", I get this black screen (console) with some exception and then the system exits. On reboot, the BIOS says "resuming", but Ubuntu just boots instead of resuming.

Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [13:27] Lint: the important question for you is not whether you have fragmented files (that's unavoidable), but whether there is an concomitant impact on system performance. i'm don't imagine there is.

[13:28] epinky : u there? [13:28] I have 4 GB on my system, but the Gnome system monitor only shows 2.9 GB. How do I let Ubuntu to use the full 4 GB? [13:28] Younder: do you want to know how you could have avoided a reinstall? [13:28] guys, is it possible to make one of the sites in my apache virtual host to be a www site? [13:28] fasta, once you resize one of those ext3 parts down some, enlarge your swap part [13:28] angelus, what kind of question is that? [13:28] anon_: install the 64bit version, or install the server kernel which has PAE enabled [13:28] mrXX: sure, why not [13:28] fasta, before you do that, read man swapon [13:28] syn-ack, by how much exactly? [13:29] anon_: 32bit OSs can only access that much RAM [13:29] well ... my next piece of advice is completely useless if you have instlled it before .... [13:29] syn-ack, I have 4GB RAM. [13:29] still didn't show up in the tra [13:29] fasta: i think he just wants to know if its your first time, no offence [13:29] y [13:29] ActionParsnip, well I have the 32 bit Ubuntu, so you might be right :) [13:29] fasta, you want your swap to be equal to or twice as much as the RAM on the machine [13:29] jrib how to you do it? I have already got a free dns , but i try logging to my site through proxy but it doesn't work [13:29] Trying to install app-cacher on a server. Catch is that the workstations are running Jaunty while the server's running hardy. Is this safe, or are there any hidden "gotchas" here? Thanks in advance... [13:29] syn-ack, I just want to know the minimum value that is guaranteed to work. [13:29] fasta: keep swap at 1 gb ,its more than enough, dont waste hdd space [13:29] I just told you [13:29] anon_: if you install the server kernel and boot to it, you should get more ram accessible [13:29] jrib, too late.. [13:29] fasta: 512 mb works great [13:29] indonesia, it may not be [13:30] !samba [13:30] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[13:30] jrib, It was done weeks ago [13:30] anon_: or a more futureproof solution is to install 64bit Ubuntu to allow you to add more ram [13:30] fasta, you're kinda leading him down the wrong path here... [13:30] hi how do i access "system > administration" if it's not in my panel? thanks [13:30] Younder: k, but please keep in mind that setting a root password is unnecessary when helping others here [13:30] anon_: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ [13:30] IpSe_DiXiT: hmm [13:30] ActionParsnip, but will 32 bit programs work on the 64 bit system? [13:30] syn-ack : what? [13:30] IpSe_DiXiT: add it to your panel? [13:30] IpSe_DiXiT: right click on edit menu [13:30] anon_: they can if you install ia32-libs [13:30] indus, that was to, not you indonesia [13:31] sorry [13:31] syn-ack : kk [13:31] anon_: the apps you use will have 64bit versions on the repos [13:31] syn-ack, the thing is, I never need 4GB RAM in a normal session. [13:31] mrXX: buy a domain, point your domain to your ip, that's it === YUKI is now known as wet [13:31] syn-ack: which wrong path, i prefer calling it the path not much taken :) [13:31] jrib i have a dns (from dyndns) pointed to my ip, [13:31] fasta, then make your swap 4 gigs [13:31] any one tell me whic is the right channel to join for Dekstop ubuntu help [13:31] jrib: there's no way to add, it's a custom version, is it possible it's no where else? the panel's just a link, it has to be accessible from somewhere else... [13:31] i open the synaptic Package Manager,,how can setup the option to play the mp3 files [13:31] indus, thats wrong information. [13:31] kartook: This is it. [13:31] syn-ack: what is? [13:31] thank you in advance [13:31] kartook: you're in it [13:31] syn-ack, Ok, I was under the impression it didn't work if you had less than the size of your RAM. [13:31] thanks [13:32] jrib, yes, the windows look alike.. [13:32] syn-ack, if that's a false impression then I know enough. [13:32] jrib: an other ideas on how to get wicd back in the tray [13:32] i need to create a menus on my mouse rught clicks [13:32] IpSe_DiXiT: it's not just a link. The menu is formed from .desktop files. You can certainly run all of the programs listed there using the terminal if you want [13:32] like Knoppix [13:32] fasta, youre generally right too, indus was trying to give you bad info [13:32] tigertiger: in synaptic look for ubuntu-restricted-extras and install it [13:32] how can [13:32] jrib i think i have to configure my apache for that, but i dont know, I do have a dns pointing to my ip [13:32] Hallo [13:32] fasta, /swap isn't even mandatory; I didn't bother for a while... [13:32] so I get this when trying to hibernate from command line: Warning: Tuxonice binary signature file not found [13:32] jrib: ok i need to run "language selector" im also searching it in synaptic but with no luck [13:32] syn-ack: can you explain why you keep saying my name and not mentioning which info is wrong?? [13:32] mrXX: do you have a router or firewal between your machine and the internet? [13:33] Madpilot, for hibernation it is manditory [13:33] find [13:33] IpSe_DiXiT: no idea, but try: gnome-lang [13:33] Anybody know of a way to limit which logins are listed in the gdm login screen? [13:33] IpSe_DiXiT, gnome-language-selector [13:33] jrib yes i have a router [13:33] indus, your comment to fasta regarding swap space size was completely wrong. [13:33] ich braeucht mal ein wenig Hilfe beim Konfigurieren von X11 und einer radeon mobility 7500 unter karmic koala 9.10 [13:33] hi [13:33] mrXX: you need to forward port 80 to your machine [13:33] syn-ack, true, but hibernation of desktops isn't that common [13:34] indus: I believe the hibernate process dumps the ram to the swap partition so you need a swap at least the size of your ram for it to fit [13:34] Madpilot, what makes you think this is a desktop?\ [13:34] Madpilot, but he WANTS to hibernate. [13:34] syn-ack: no it inst, you arent wrong if you quote whats generally quoted [13:34] in my system there is no ubuntu-restricted-extras ,,how can i do then [13:34] ?? [13:34] Madpilot, It isn't. [13:34] Lint: nice clue, it's not installed, ill install it then :D thanks [13:34] tigertiger: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:34] syn-ack, fasta - fair enough. Missed that part of the discussion earlier, sorry. [13:34] indus, and what's GENERALLY quoted is equal to or twice as much [13:34] jrib do i need to have access to the router to do that? cause i use the internet of the university in my dorm, it is not mine personal [13:34] how can i make a menus on mouse right click ??? [13:34] mrXX: yes [13:34] indus, so your info is wrong. [13:34] syn-ack: 1 gb is more than enough for almost all things including hibernate, the often used commenet of twice the ram is too old now [13:35] jrib damn, so there is no way around? [13:35] kartook- install nautilus-actions [13:35] mrXX: does your computer get its own ip to the outside world? [13:35] Lint: but it's a gnome pack, and im running lxde... that might be a prob [13:35] ohh cool [13:35] indus, it's been like that since the beginning of time, according to linus [13:35] syn-ack: so lets not get into whats right or whats wrong, lets see what works [13:35] tigertiger: in synaptic on top open Settings>Repositories and see if there is check mark next ot the (multiverse) repository [13:35] can i get offline installation pack for GNOME [13:35] seach [13:35] tigertiger, close Synaptic, open Software Sources (System->Admin->Software Sources) and make sure Universe and Multiverse are checked off [13:35] syn-ack: bad argument [13:35] i have kubuntu in my home [13:35] Since everyone is arguing here, is there a document which just states how it actually is? I.e. some kind of authority? [13:35] jrib i believe so, i have an ip of format 80.10.... [13:35] mrXX: i.e. is 199.8.13.1 your ip or the router's? [13:35] syn-ack: time has changed now, [13:35] no insterneti need to install DNOME how can i install ? [13:35] jjrib no [13:35] jrib [13:36] fasta: you using the wubi install? [13:36] jrib no, it is like 80.10.47.90 [13:36] my computer janitor hangs, what can i do ? [13:36] fasta: about what? [13:36] miked595, no. [13:36] indus, if you like, I can show in the ubuntu documentation where it recommends it. so don't tell someone that they need less than the rule of thumb [13:36] hi I'm on 9.10 right now but there doesn't seem to be a xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ [13:36] any ideas? [13:36] jarod51: reinstall it [13:36] mrXX: well right now I see your ip as 199.8.13.1 so... [13:36] syn-ack: you telling me if i have 4 gb ram , i use a swap of 8 gb? what a waste [13:36] wo kann ich den jetzt angeben welche grafikkarte ich besitze bzw. welche treiber mit welchen optionen ich fahren moechte? [13:36] ActionParsnip: allready done [13:36] dmesg tells me wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:24:b2:74:fb:9e try 1,2,3, then timed out [13:36] ActionParsnip, about the size of swap for hibernate to work always. [13:36] hi all. does anyone know where i can get ubuntu screen savers from cus half of the ones on 9-10 are not on there! [13:36] ActionParsnip: reinstall from start [13:36] acr0nym: this is normal, if you add one it will be read, ubuntu relys on hal now (very nnoying) [13:36] xorg.conf ist nicht mehr vorhanden?!

Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [13:36] syn-ack: i know what the doc says, its time for it to be revised anyway [13:36] ActionParsnip, E.g. if I use a 2GB swap for 4GB RAM, but only use about 1.5GB RAM will it still work? [13:37] jrib so what does it mean? cuase that ip you saw doesn't open my local host, but the other ip does [13:37] i started something in screen, how do i go back and close it? [13:37] thanks ActionParsnip [13:37] I recomend all set up the Ubuntu Fire Wall UFW as it is not set up by default [13:37] indus, well, there are always swap files too, but for hibernation you NEED to have a physical swap partition [13:37] !realplay [13:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about realplay [13:37] !realplayer [13:37] how to sftp via gnome?

[13:37] in my system there is no system-> admin-> software sources ...why? [13:37] oh ok [13:37] syn-ack: i think you misread or misquoted me, 1gb ram is good enough for most here, unlesssomeone says otherwise [13:37] indus, and to ensure hibernation works correctly, you should follow the information [13:37] rudi125 [13:38] tigertiger: are you kde or gnome?

[13:38] tigertiger, you have a System menu? System->Administration->Software Sources? [13:38] syn-ack: doc says it so its always corect?

[13:38] mrXX: -> router -> internet -> me. I only see "router", so when I ask router for a web page, it doesn't know I want the web page from you [13:38] syn-ack: ill go edit the doc if you wish [13:38] Lint, call me a liar if you want, I really beleived that fsck would do what I said . Technically I was mistaken but I wasn't deliberstely misleading you. Only a liar would do such a thing. Maybe you should read this :http://lwn.net/Articles/248180/ [13:38] cu [13:38] can ubuntu install on an logical partition ? [13:39] fasta: if you have loads of ram and never exceed it, you do not even need swap [13:39] meatbun, the other machines on your network are running sftp? if so, you should see the sftp servers listed in "Network" in nautilus. [13:39] indus: you swap size, when using hibernate, needs to be at least the same or bigger the size of your ram. If you never hibernate and have 4gb of ram you can forgo the swap all together [13:39] jrib can i pm you [13:39] ubuntu linux for human beings : Version for your Pc [13:39] ubuntunewbie2: sure [13:39] ubuntunewbie2: yes. [13:39] syn-ack: oops ,nvm too much waste of channel space [13:39] indus, listen. I've been running linux since 1998, I think I know what I'm talking about. [13:39] mrXX: please keep the discussion in the channel so everyone can help you [13:39] syn-ack: no issues , lets leave it [13:39] ActionParsnip, that's what I don't understand. I do have loads of RAM, but hibernation doesn't work. [13:39] ActionParsnip , xt28 : thanks :-) [13:39] bidossessi, i found out how [13:39] can the unr interface be dissabled in karmic netbook remix? [13:39] fasta: not something i use or bother with, not worth it [13:39] ActionParsnip, the only reason I am interested in swap is because I want hibernation. [13:39] tigertiger, OK, so do you have a System menu? with an Administration submenu? [13:39] miked595: if i had 1 gb of ram, system wont hibernate? [13:39] tigertiger: thats hugley generic. do you see a k at the bottom left corner or a menu of things up top? [13:40] jrib so what does that mean, will i not be able to have a dns? [13:40] mrXX: doesn't seem like it [13:40] syn-ack: hasnt linux changed since 1998 to now? [13:40] ActionParsnip, ok, but since I do want to use it I should just get the swap. [13:40] fasta, it's not going to work if you dont have enough swap. Thats where the system saves the hiberfile. [13:40] ubuntunewbie2: you're welcome! [13:40] indus: I have 1gb with a 4gb swap and the system won't hibernate.. so my issue is not swap space lol [13:40] linux has changed radiaclly since 1998 :) [13:40] syn-ack, hibernate uses disk, suspend uses ram [13:40] miked595: ya hihih mine is an nvidia problem i think [13:41] fasta: sure [13:41] ok bidossessi has some fresh info :) [13:41] bidossessi, yeah, and where exactly is the swap partition? [13:41] jrib try this ip which works for me 10.80.49.97 [13:41] syn-ack, sorry, not meant for you, typo [13:41] Dr_Willis, agreed, there have been massive updates to linux since the late 90's [13:41] suspend to ram is correct [13:41] indus: I get some tuxonice binary sig not found error [13:41] exitr [13:41] Dr_Willis, Yes. I ran a redhat 5.0 version back then [13:41] miked595: yikes whats that [13:41] I have 4 GB of RAM now, thanks! :) [13:41] anon_: you installed 64 bit? [13:41] mrXX: nope [13:42] No, i installed the server kernel. [13:42] anon_: cool [13:42] bidossessi, it's over a WAN connection. not my local LAN [13:42] Dr_Willis, My point to the young man is that I'm quite experienced. [13:42] Dr_Willis, Now it's fedora and redhat is commmercial distribution [13:42] thnx, ActionParsnip [13:42] mrXX: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address#IPv4_private_addresses [13:42] anon_: i'd install the 64bit Ubuntu if you want access to any more [13:42] I'll do in the future. [13:42] bidossessi, though i am curious via ur method [13:42] meatbun, then you should be able to use the "connect to server" widget [13:42] tigertiger, can you press Alt+F2 and tell us what happens? [13:43] heh iam a young man :) [13:43] cool [13:43] ActionParsnip, better have more RAM.. 64 bit usuallly needs 2 Gb these days [13:43] Run Application [13:43] Dialog [13:43] ActionParsnip: hi whats up [13:43] apperas [13:43] bidossessi, u widget or click on 'connect to server' from somewhere? [13:44] when i press Alt+F2 [13:44] Is there also an easy way to switch from 32 bit Ubuntu to 64 bits? [13:44] type there xterm and press Enter. Then type lsb_release -a and tell us what's written [13:44] ActionParsnip: what was that trick of using more swap space or other way round [13:44] meatbun, you can add that to the panel by rightclicking on it, i believe [13:44] fasta: reinstall [13:44] fasta: none [13:44] erUSUL, will that save my /home? [13:44] !enter | tigertiger [13:44] fasta, no, it's a reinstall [13:44] fasta: reinstall only [13:44] tigertiger: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [13:44] fasta: hmm yes [13:45] Younder: if its a separate home , then yes [13:45] meatbun, in should give you a list of things you can add to your panel, and "connect to server" should be one of them [13:45] fasta: no; you will have to backup it yourself or maybe move it to its own parition that makes things easier [13:45] how to install a font?

Thought I would mention it incase anyone else comes here with a similar issue. [13:45] Lint, yes [13:45] who [13:45] syn-ack: what's up ? [13:46] syn-ack: I see, never mind [13:46] ikonia, he left as I hit enter. Sorry about that [13:46] indus, ? You remove the 32 bit version and reinstall or you add a 64 bit version. [13:46] syn-ack: not a problem [13:46] Madpilot : i have a system menu , and with an Administration submenu ... [13:46] pkkm, drop it in /usr/share/fonts/truetype . It should work immediately [13:46] i reinstall a 64 bit version over my older 32 bit install but i had a separate home partition, its fine and untouched [13:46] Hello, in which file is the rootpassword stored? [13:46] so no one ever got hibernate to actually work? [13:47] AmokPaule: ubuntu has no root password [13:47] tigertiger: right click the word Applications on top panel and choose Edit Menus brows to Administration. is Software Sources there? if so put check mark next to it [13:47] during partition just give the K parameter [13:47] tigertiger, OK, good. but no Software Sources item on the Admin submenu? [13:47] erUSUL, yes it does. its scrambled [13:47] AmokPaule: /etc/passwd for the account and /etc/shadow for the account, be aware there is no real root password available though [13:47] erUSUL, and its not meant to be changed [13:47] ubottu, root | AmokPaule [13:47] AmokPaule: 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 [13:47] AmokPaule: /etc/passwd [13:47] syn-ack: no. [13:47] syn-ack: i know all that been using linux since 1998 too ;P is the short answer [13:47] AmokPaule: /etc/shadow sorry [13:47] indus: no - that is not the passwd [13:47] any one know a good ruby server? [13:47] ikonia: sorry [13:48] ikonia: /etc/shadow? [13:48] olvap: ruby is a scripting language [13:48] is correct [13:48] indus: correct [13:48] AmokPaule, you probably want sudo su, [13:48] thanks [13:48] was a mistype [13:48] !rootshell | AmokPaule [13:48] AmokPaule: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [13:48] syn-ack: no, the account is disabled. [13:48] AmokPaule, from the command line [13:48] Younder: no he doesn't [13:48] AmokPaule: what are you actually looking to do ? [13:48] sipior, wasnt aware they physically disabled the account now. :/ [13:48] can any1 tell me plz how will mutter work with nvidia card out of box in the future of gnome. are here any plans for that?

I have a problem with a software, it says SDL_SetVideoMode failed: Couldn't find matching GLX visual, then quit. I have Direct Rendering enabled.

[14:05] tigertiger: (main) (universe) (restricted) (multiverse) and Source Code [14:05] Valentina, the sdc1 is, from what you said, your home partition. you won't be able to remove it [14:05] bazhang : I dont know but there is a small bit which adds to streaming music in realplayer which i can distinguish from mplayer/ totem / vlc [14:06] Valentina, you can try a live cd [14:06] I'm having a problem with my partitions - I screwed up the MBR with GParted, it seems.

[14:09] xt28: Well, I still can reach the files on the partition so then it wouldnät harm my partition messing with fdisk then? [14:09] *wouldn't [14:09] Valentina: when in doubt, compare the partition layout in /proc/partitions with the partition layout on the disk (that fdisk shows you). [14:09] mosta: is samba already installed? [14:09] xt28: Ok. [14:09] firefox crashed... apport is not reacting. WTF [14:10] how can i update the GPG keys ? always showing no available ... or how can i get the new GPG key ? [14:10] xt28: There is a dm-0 partition in /proc/partitions, what's that? [14:10] Valentina: a device mapper partition. [14:11] Valentina, it seems you installed the system after you inserted the hdd, or that your fstab file was changed to use that disk. i suggest you figure out what you did before thinking about formatting, and potentially loosing data [14:11] Valentina: used for encrypted devices, lvm etc. [14:11] how to install dotnet frame work in ubuntu [14:11] prageeth, mono [14:11] kartook: To create a key, type this into a terminal: gpg --gen-key [14:11] xt28: Aha, for my encrypted home partition then, I think. [14:12] dotnet framework is a windows technology. the equivalent for linux (although not quite the same) is mono, child of the notorious novell === esperegu is now known as esperegu_ [14:12] Valentina: wait, i thought sdc1 was your home partition? [14:12] join #fw [14:13] quit [14:13] Well, the thing that fooled me was that my new hard drivw somehoe got sda. That's really strange, before I had sda and sdb, then I inserted a new hard drive and I thought it would be sdc not sda and moving my old drives one step lower??? [14:13] Valentina, the system does not shuffle your mount points around on it's own. if your sdc is now mounted on /home,, then it means you installed it that way [14:14] #filelist [14:14] Is there a way to choose which logins are used in the gdm login screen and which ones don't show? [14:14] hello everyone! Why do dark themes mess up font colors in firefox? I have "allow webpages to choose their own fonts" checked [14:14] i have to ask some about to build my own ubuntu server live cd? is this the right place? [14:14] unless you have a mix of sata and ide, where some mess could ensue [14:14] l337hium: i know a little about that [14:15] in my sources.list Repos need to update the GPG keys ? how can i update the GPG keys for my sources .list [14:15] Valentina: on the other hand, drive letters (sda, sdb, sdc) are subject to change across reboots. (hence, uuids as has been pointed out.) [14:15] kartook: if you can use a pastebin of the output of: sudo apt-get update I can advise [14:15] mahngiel, k i read some tutorials and tried remastersys on my ubuntu server 9.10. but i cant boot the .iso in virtualbox and all tutorials i found used kde/gnome :/ [14:15] !paste | kartook [14:15] kartook: 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!

[14:16] Valentina: sorry - joining in late to the discussion - some sata controllers insert drives higher than others on the board - the new drive might have a higher number id and that's why it shows up first [14:16] ty A.P. [14:16] bidossessi: Ok, well, I think it wouldn't mess up them on it's own. I can see I have my /home at sdc and my file system at sdb. And I can't even see the new hard drive using sudo fdisk -l because of it's not mounted? [14:16] ActionParsnip, i thin remastersys should do so [14:16] bidossessi: with a free operating system, almost any choice is left to the user...

I had drive mixed ups when I moved to Karmic, might be related. [14:19] bidossessi: we have already established that Valentina used fdisk to edit the partition table. i read that as popping up the hood. (apart from that, you're right, though.)

[14:20] has there been any progress on the suspend issue? [14:20] kartook: if you put the address of the repo in a browser, it should display the files, that line does not [14:20] xt28: yep I am using UUID, since Jaunty :) I also double-checked it when I upgraded to Karmic, the system doesn't want to follow my HDD boot order via my bios :p [14:20] fast please -ssh is installed in my ubuntu but when I do "service ssh" it says unrecognized service, how do I run the service so that my friend can login in the next room ? [14:20] Valentina: it's the "wide/fat" cable, right, not the newer thin red cable... [14:20] Laibcoms: all right. [14:21] mahngiel, i don't know, and that's actually my only gripe with ubuntu [14:21] how can i customize the nautilus file browser? [14:21] I have a couple of hidden directories called things like .fr-cIGcnw and .fr-AnmIr9 each with what appears to be a complete copy of my entire /home/ directory in it. [14:21] can i use this link for generating the repos for me : http://pastebin.ca/1664906 [14:21] gnusar, 'customize' meaning? [14:21] bidossessi, heard that [14:21] xt28: something must have been updated in Karmic and it is working as intended now. but in Jaunty it wasn't hehe ^_^ [14:21] Any idea what these are? I can't figure out useful terms to search on. [14:21] mbeierl, how does that matter? Valentina, are you unsure which partition is on which physical disk? [14:21] mbeierl: It's the wide flat cable absolutely not the sats2 cables that you use with newer mobos. [14:22] hi [14:22] bidossessi: well in fact i was wondering if i can add a button that opens the terminal or generally executes an app.... like a button on panels on the desktop [14:22] somebidy, fast please -ssh is installed in my ubuntu but when I do "service ssh" it says unrecognized service, how do I run the service so that my friend can login in the next room ? [14:22] Valentina: ide == integrated drive electronics, all new dives have them, even scsi. Old drive back in the day didnt have the small pcb so had no cache or intelligence and relied solely on the controller for instruction. The new iDE drives came out and its just stuck, technically any drive with a little controller circuit is IDE, SATA drives are ISE too. People really mean PATA or parallel ATA ;) [14:22] mbeierl: There are may oins at the back of the hard drive, not a SATA2 interface. [14:22] jest tu jakis polak ? [14:22] *many oins [14:22] *pins [14:22] gnusar, are you talking about launchers on the desktop or on the panel (taskbar) [14:22] hi [14:23] bidossessi: nope, about the file browser [14:23] xt28, Valentina: I was just confused that ubuntu now starts reporting the old /dev/hdX as /dev/sdX. Prior versions used to report PATA (or 40-pin ide, or whatever) as hd not sd. [14:23] Valentina: this is getting confusing. can you re-state the problem that you are trying to solve? [14:23] can i use this link for generating the repos for me : http://pastebin.ca/1664906 [14:23] gnusar, why would you want to do that? can you do it in antoher OS? [14:23] mbeierl: true. [14:24] mbeierl, that change happened a couple of Ubuntu releases ago - some change in the underlying libraries, apparently [14:24] kartook: skype is on the medibuntu repo [14:24] ActionParsnip: Ok, I don't know but when I look into a regular computer store there are often two kinds of 3.5" hard drives, one they call IDE and one named SATA2. [14:24] mbeierl, that's been changed a while ago. now everything's just sdX [14:24] Madpilot: yes. [14:24] Using Karmic, though this pertains to other versions as well. I would like to copy the icon from one launcher to another. But I know of no way to find where the launcher got the icon from and no cut/paste capability exists for this. How do I find out where the first launcher is finding the icon? [14:24] Valentina, different kinds of plugs [14:24] Madpilot: the kernel, to be more precise. [14:24] Valentina: i know, its common and people know what is meant but its not rigt but the language serves its purpose so its ok [14:25] bidossessi: i don't know.. that's why i am asking :) just wanted to know if there is the possibility to do such changes.. [14:25] Valentina: IDE/PATA are an older type of MB connections and read/write slower than the newer SATA [14:25] xt28: Well, I tried to connect a new hard drive (an old one actually) and partioning it and formatting it into ext4. I think I know how to do that, the problem is...

[14:25] bidossessi: okay thank you anyways [14:26] mbeierl: one of the main reasons, yes. [14:26] mbeierl, pretty useful, themm uuid buggers, even though they can be a hand(type)ful [14:26] zaoul: just burn under data dvd/cd [14:26] hi all, does anyone have a spotify-remote type thing (from iphone/android) working with spotify over wine in ubuntu? [14:26] zaul: if you want an image burned to be executable, then you burn the iso to disk. not the same as putting it on the disk as traditional data [14:27] mahngiel: I want to rip, and no its not bootlegg, it's a previously created dvd [14:27] anyone have an answer to my query about copying icons from one launcher to another? [14:27] zaoul: if its just pure data to then burn you can use mkisofs [14:27] orly [14:27] ... that I thought my new drive would be at /dev/sdc BUT then it seems like my /home was at /dev/sdc. That's very strange because I installed Ubuntu Server from scratch, the file system on one hard drive and the /home on another single hard drive. So then I think Ubuntu Server will call the drives sda and sdb and I'm pretty sure it did until I plugged in another on (hard drive nr 3). Then it looks like Ubuntu Serve [14:27] stevecoh1: The only way I know is finding where that icon you want to copy is located. [14:27] stevecoh1: if you open the .desktop file in a text editor, you will see an icon line [14:28] But the first launcher won't tell me that. Can launchers be viewed as text somehow? [14:28] hello, is it slightly possible that 09.10 is a big pile of shit? === LeNsTR is now known as LeNsTR|away [14:28] Valentina: are you trying to figure out why the device names changed? trying to find out whether your data is okay? something else? [14:28] I think Ubuntu Server somehow moved my old sda to sdb and the old sdb to sdc when I inserted a new hard drive that probably will be sda for now? [14:29] i'm using ubuntu since 06.04, but this one is a real disappointment [14:29] stevecoh1: is this a launcher you created or is it one in the Menu? which launcher is it? [14:29] equivoc, this isn't the place to discuss such opinion. [14:29] +1 [14:29] stevecoh1: yes, they are located were you have copied them to (most likely desktop) or in /usr/share/applications [14:29] Valentina: when you put the new drive in, it re-ordered the disks as they are found on the motherboard. If you remove the new disk, you will probably see things go back to normal [14:29] elky: where is this place? [14:30] I have two servers, one of them is running nagios and monitoring both. Both servers have firewalls and the port used by nagios for remote monitoring is blocked by ufw (and confirmed by nmap); how is it possible that nagios still tell me that everything is ok? [14:30] Valentina: sda/sdb and so forth are determined after which sata controller it sits on, hdd on controller 0 becomes sda, controller 1 sdb etc [14:30] PupenoG: depends on your nagios setup, nagios maybe also checking with basic tools like ping [14:30] It's the one for eclipse. There is a bug fix to launch eclipse from a shell script to fix a mouse problem in karmic. I have written the shell script but I would like to give it the same icon the original launcher had. Looking through all the eclipse directory structure for this icon is an exercise in frustration. [14:30] PupenoG: the port service is only for client to client communication [14:30] equivoc, there's lots of channels on freenode for you to choose from. #ubuntu ones are no place for bad language and unsubstantiated criticism of #ubuntu. [14:30] ikonia: I have the amount of users and processes of the remote machine. [14:31] I have a couple of hidden directories called things like .fr-cIGcnw and .fr-AnmIr9 each with what appears to be a complete copy of my entire /home/ directory in it.  Any idea what these are? I can't figure out useful terms to search on. [14:31] equivoc: I've been using Ubuntu since 4.10, and some releases have been more smooth than others, I agree. But I've been using 9.10 since alpha 2, and think it's great for a non-LTS release. If you want stable, stick with LTS [14:31] xt28: Well, I thought the new drive was sdc so I run sudo fdisk on it and then tried to delete a partition using the (d) option in fdisk, then I tried to create a new one using (n) oprtion and last of all I run (w) option to write the new partition table. Then I tried to format the sdc and noticed that it was the /home directory in use!!! So, my first question is, what the heck did I do to my /home partition at sdc [14:31] How can I copy files from ssh client to my computer [14:31] ? [14:31] pranav, man scp [14:31] !scp | pranav [14:31] pranav: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [14:31] PupenoG: it's a two way chat, is the client sending back to the server ? [14:31] valentina, sounds like you tried to delete yourself, mate! [14:32] mbeierl: i just said yes to the upgrade from yesterday [14:32] stevecoh1: try: sudo find / -iname "*.png" which may help, you could just download one from the web instead [14:32] joakim: So if I plug in a new hard drive it will change which drive is sda, sdb and sdc? [14:32] Valentina, the suggestion to remove the offending new drive seems sensible to me. [14:32] Valentina: i tried to answer that question above. should i clarify something? repeat? [14:32] ikonia: not sure. I think the nagios on the remote server doesn't know where nagios is running, so it can't communicate back. [14:32] can i use this link for generating the repositories for my ubuntu : http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/index.php [14:32] thanks [14:32] PupenoG: it must do, the clients have a server configuration so they know where to send back to [14:32] xt28: Yeah, you told me to check /proc/partitions, right? [14:32] Valentina, in the meantime you should kee track of your drive's uuid so as not to get more confused in the future [14:32] Valentina, use GParted live cd, you can't partition while running an OS [14:33] Valentina: if you already used fdisk to alter the partition table, don't reboot just yet === Dink|W is now known as Dink [14:33] !uuid [14:33] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [14:33] Valentina: yes. [14:33] forza OPNBSD [14:33] BluesKaj: yes, you can. [14:33] Valentina: not necessarily. maybe you had hdd's connected on sata controllers 1 and 2, then if you connect a third hdd on sata controller 0, all devices becomes different [14:33] !it | naoufel [14:33] elky: how can ssh segfault? [14:33] naoufel: 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) [14:33] Hello ubuntu-people! I'm following the guide located @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile but can't find a debian directory on my system, and thus not the "debian/rules updateconfigs" command. I found my kernel config file under /boot . Any hints? Maybe there's a newer guide, iæve just upgraded to Karmic. [14:33] Valentina: but if you had devices on controllers 0 and 1, and left them like that and connected the third drive on controller 2, it shouldnt change [14:33] equivoc: its a software, so it can [14:34] ikonia: and at any rate, the other machine also has a strict firewall. [14:34] xt28, well, an OS on the HDD that's being partitioned [14:34] Valentina: so what happened is you have altered the drive's layout for the partition, but as long as you have /home mounted, you can get the data off without too much trouble [14:34] BluesKaj: I'm trying to partiton and format a whole new drive but the Ubuntu Server played me a joke changing my drives sda got sdb and sdb got sdc and the new one sda. The mad eme try to partiton and format my sdc (Home directry) instead of my new hard drive! [14:34] sry shudda qualified that [14:34] PupenoG: what port are you blocking ? [14:34] BluesKaj: i am not sure about that. [14:34] ikonia: all except 22, 53 and 9103. [14:34] xt28, try and see what happens :) [14:34] Valentina: unfortunately, it's not a joke, it's the way drives work. You are not supposed to rely on the /dev/sdX names to identify the drives :( [14:35] Valentina: You probably had hdd's on controllers 1 and 2, while you connected the new one on controller 0. Thus, the new hdd became /dev/sda/ while the old sda became sdb, and sdb became sdc [14:35] Valentina: do not reboot, do not umount /home yet [14:35] mbeierl: I tried to reboot before, but I'm not sure the computer did, I got thrown out of ssh but I didn't herar the fans go off on the computer, I have it right by my sida but using ssh anyway. [14:35] hi, i have two gdm related questions: (1) is there any way in the PostSession script to know which UID oder user logged out and (2) is there a way to remove the session/keyboard/etc. men [14:35] hi all [14:35] PupenoG: what is running on 9103 [14:35] Valentina: do you have access to /home anymore? [14:35] is there a way to run rhythmbox without pulseaudio? [14:35] ikonia: bacula. [14:35] BluesKaj: don't know how gparted works, but you can partition all you want, except changing mounted partitions [14:35] Valentina, to cut it short. use blkid to identify your hdds by their uuid, remove the new drive, harden your fstab by replaceing /dev/sdx by the corresponding uuid syntax. problem solved [14:36] !it [14:36] 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) [14:36] Valentina: if you enough disk space available, i second mbeierl's advive. just to be save, back up your /home directory. [14:36] Pidgin is not showing my yahoo friends online list .the same same time i can access the mail box through Pidgin ? need help [14:36] PupenoG: what port are you running nagios on ? [14:36] bidossessi: he's modified the partition table of his /home - he's going to need to recover his data before trying anything more... [14:36] mbeierl: Yeah, I know I can't trust the sdX anymore, but I thought it was always the same! :S [14:36] ikonia: not sure, let me check, but I can tell you the default, I didn't change it. [14:36] llutz, very dangerous practice === LeNsTR|away is now known as LeNsTR [14:37] kartook: yahoo change their servers a lot, you may need to find a different messeger server [14:37] Valentina: ok, so what state is the computer in now? [14:37] mbeierl: Yeah, I have acess to /home and I have run ls -l on it without any problem at all. [14:37] mbeierl: The computer is running. [14:37] mbeierl, for now, i believe fstab hasn't been touched yet, so it's possible. [14:37] Valentina: ok, good. Do you have somewhere to store all the data of /home? [14:37] how to find find a differentyahoo messeger servers ? [14:37] sorry, i've got to go. Valentina, i'll leave you in mbeierl's capable hands. =) [14:37] PupenoG: can you pastebin the output of "iptables -L" please [14:37] xt28: thanks :) [14:38] mbeierl: I'm logged into it using ssh (only having one display and trying to get used to remote control, but I have the server here by my side). [14:38] ikonia: sure. [14:38] kartook: websearch, m'boy, websearch [14:38] ikonia: nrpe is running on 5666.

[14:40] i will come daily iwill new things from you guys thanks a lot [14:40] blues, thanks mate :) [14:40] mahngiel, seems they've come a long way since the last installment. it looks pretty decent now, (the dev version though; stable stillsucks :p) [14:40] stevecoh1: if find doesnt help if eclipse is in the Menu ( i dont have eclipse installed so i dont know if it is) then open System>preferences>main menu and highlight the Eclipse launcher and press Properties and then click on the icon. that may open a box to show where that png file is [14:40] where pidgin put files from file transfers by default [14:40] ?

Is that the one that you attempted the fdisk on, thinking it was the new drive? (I'm not being a jerk, just don't know a better way to ask it) [14:41] why does pulseaudio always auto-restart when i kill it? [14:41] TheTom, the community needs YOU [14:41] Hello ubuntu-people! I'm following the guide located @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile but can't find a debian directory on my system, and thus not the "debian/rules updateconfigs" command.

Could someone provide me the code? [14:41] same link, bah [14:41] TheTom: debian/rules is the structur of a package [14:42] bidossessi: is there no way to prevent that? Apparently some wine apps don't run if pulseaudio is running... [14:42] TheTom: you can create the deb-structur for e.g. with dh_make [14:42] maxim, i don't understand your question [14:42] Maxmim_2: export DIR1=/path/to/folder; cp file $DIR1 [14:42] anyone know what the gnome console is called? [14:42] or the package it's contained in? [14:42] ampex: terminal [14:42] ampex: gnome-terminal [14:42] ojii, you can always remove pulseaudio, but since it's a gnome hard-dep, you'd really give yourself more headache for little gain [14:42] iceroot and ActionParsnip, thanks [14:42] i had to reinstall ubuntu karmic this morning, i reinstalled it on a different, larger , partition. how to i decrypt the home directory on the other partition to transfer files? [14:42] i want to add a directory to my PATH variable , and to remove one that i added wrong! [14:42] Valentina: sorry - I joined late into this. I just want to make sure - when you type in "mount" does it show /home mounted on the same /dev/sdX as the one that you had used fdisk on? [14:43] mbeierl: Yes, exactly, I attempt to partition the sdc (my /home) y misstake using sudp fdisk and then I tried to delete the sdc1 using (d) option in fdisk then I tried create a new one (n) option and at last I tried write it using the (w) option in fdisk. [14:43] bidossessi: but i remember being able to stop pulseaudio in 9.04... [14:43] how can a default ubuntu install still not be doing WPA properly?? [14:43] it's my single biggest hate about ubuntu [14:43] ph8: bugs [14:43] and/or linux dists [14:43] 9.10? [14:43] Maxmim_2: export PATH=/path/to/folder:"${PATH}" [14:43] yep [14:43] iceroot: uh, ok, thanks. But I think I just need to find the updateconfigs script. [14:43] hi people .. im here to help people :) [14:44] mythbuntu mind, but i see similar things on my straight ubuntu machine [14:44] Valentina: and now you have /dev/sdc /home backed up, right? and sdc was the only one that was touched. ok, so far so good. [14:44] ojii, i don't know that one. never had to stop pulseaudio [14:44] mbeierl: I got through all those steps and I didn't notice I was messign with my /home until I tried to format it using sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdc1 [14:44] ph8: not all wifi can do wpa under linux [14:44] Valentina: I'm just playing it really safe [14:44] yeh that's ridiculous IMO [14:44] it's drivers i suppose [14:44] i had to reinstall ubuntu karmic this morning, i reinstalled it on a different, larger , partition. how to i decrypt the home directory on the other partition to transfer files? [14:44] ph8: blame the hardware manufacturers [14:44] but it should be the biggest area of priority along with graphics [14:44] indeed :/ [14:44] ph8: not supporting the OS [14:44] ph8, not linux's fault if manufacturers wo't realease their source code [14:44] mbeierl: I haven't got time backing it up, I will right now. The sdc was the only drive I have been messing with, yes. [14:45] ph8: so its not Linux's fault, go moan at ati ;) [14:45] ikonia: http://gist.github.com/230916 [14:45] bidossessi, agree wit that [14:45] was just venting really [14:45] ph8: replace moan with burn [14:45] hello ! [14:45] i'm about to switch my home media box to windows media centre [14:45] mainly because of wifi problem [14:45] ohhh [14:45] stupid ! [14:45] * problems [14:45] Lots of people have been asking how to prevent a user name from being displayed in the GDM login screen. I've finally found out how. Drop their UID to something <1000 and that particular login will no longer show up in the gdm login list. [14:45] ohhh [14:45] but now we've found one more issue which might not have mattered had wifi worked but i think it's enough to tip us over the edge [14:45] suck my dick motherfuck !!!

[14:46] Valentina: ok, so, it is also possible, that the partition that you deleted and then recreated was exactly the same, so there is no damage done at all, and the mkfs did the right thing and protected the data [14:46] i had to reinstall ubuntu karmic this morning, i reinstalled it on a different, larger , partition. how to i decrypt the home directory on the other partition to transfer files? [14:46] ph8: if you shop smart you can buy compatible niceness rather than whats twinkliest or fastest ;) [14:46] ph8, had a look at xbmc lately? [14:46] Hello, when I changed the user my unbuntu freezed. After that, I restart my computer, and while browsing the internet the computer suddently turn off. I try to turn on again but it turns off during the grub loader. After that I turn it on again and this time it works..... very strange this didn't happen before. Any idea? [14:47] had to come back to gnome... i dont know why kde is so unstable still...!

I'd suggest using gparted if you can ssh -X (or -Y) to the box [14:47] by pass phrase do you mean the login for the user? [14:47] no [14:47] rocknroll00: could be memory overheating or bad power supply [14:47] Was largely just a vent as i say [14:48] hi guys [14:48] adam12345678: the encryption key [14:48] what is the difference between apt-get and aptitude? [14:48] hi [14:48] mbeierl, you don't want to go the uuid route? future-proof [14:48] So for my media centre, win media is looking like the best bet, but that because i want thinks like spotify integration [14:48] which i'm actually just about to discuss on the myth list [14:48] i clicked through that prompt i think because i was doing alot of synaptic stuff [14:48] wireless support i guess is being worked on, and we just discussed [14:48] Valentina: the reason I'd recommend gparted is that it does both partitioning and filesystem creation and it has the ability to warn you about live filesystems all in one [14:48] bidossessi: I think using gparted will give him uuid, no? [14:48] ph8, what myth list [14:48] does that mean its not set? [14:48] jaunty has removed the 'default X session' option from gdm -- how do I put it back? === pranav is now known as tree88 [14:48] mbeierl: Yeah, the sudo mkfs didn't do anytihng I think, but maybe the sudo fdisk did? I was told to write number of cylinders(?) and starting block and ending block, I used starting block 1 and ending block 5005 (default). [14:49] ph8: also, I don't know the quality of network manager, but if you are configuring a HTC, I would say disable NM and configure the wireless connection manually, you'll probably get a better result. [14:49] Hi, I'm not able to get a microphone working through the 3.5mm microphone jack on my laptop. My sound card is intel HD audio (82801H - ICH8 Family). It only records sound from my laptop's built-in mic. How can I fix this? [14:49] xpo0f, mailing list? [14:49] adam12345678: it's randomly generated, if you don't have it, you can't access your files [14:49] bidossessi: no, wait - it won't add the /etc/fstab for him... [14:49] mbeierl: sudo blkid for that [14:49] ju [14:49] mbeierl: Yeah, I know, I have used gparted before, but I tried to be smart using the cli at my server. :S [14:49] adam12345678: when you installed karmic, it asked you if you want to make your /home encrypted. Then on your first login, a window pops up telling you your passphrase for that encrypted folder [14:49] ph8, u said about myth list.. [14:49] brasil [14:49] Valentina, since you have a backup of your home, i really thing you need to remove the new drive you popped in now and see whether you get your old system back [14:49] can somebody help me in installing matlab, if I have the script file but no reply on ./install [14:49] lol it said nothing of the sort [14:49] mbeierl, the gparted live cd is the easiest and safest way to go ..a biut of DLing and burning but then you have an app that can even fix windows mbrs etc :) [14:49] ActionParsnip, bidossessi: is there an "all-in-one add a new disk and put the entry in automagically" tool? [14:49] Laibcoms: this is his old partittion [14:49] it didnt give me a passphrase [14:49] tree88, make sure u have execute that [14:50] it asked me to give one [14:50] and it doesn't print the passphrase [14:50] bidossessi: that is? what should I look for exactly?

That way live, mounted filesystems can't be touched [14:50] I like byubo but it's a corny name! Impossible not only to pronounce, but also to remember how to type! Idiots!

[14:52] asdf1234: incorrect, many many distros use gnome so your issue is with the config within the distro you are using [14:52] tree88, becoz it have auto-color in that script... for debugging purpose [14:52] coz_ (and whoever coz_ was talking to): http://xchat.org/faq/#q27 , create a xchat.png file in that directory [14:52] mbeierl: The remote computer is a Ubuntu Server installation so it won't have any dekstop installed, only cli.

[14:53] LifeIsPain, hey guy thanks will take a look at this [14:53] what's up [14:53] bidossessi: Yes, hehe, I know that for now. I didn't know about the changing of sdX before. [14:53] m0RrE: ahh, only saw the 'reinstalled karmic'. And, it doesn't show it? O_O I got some random generated code after my first login on a fresh install of karmic. [14:53] ikonia: please discuss with asdf1234 why gentoo support is not here, he's also being flatly insulting [14:53] Valentina, always with manual.. explore inside [14:54] bidossessi: If I did know about it I hadn't started messing with the sdc from the beginning.

[14:54] I seriously need an invoice-program, it's also for a beginning ubuntu-user so what are your tips? [14:54] please help [14:54] xpo0f: I know what gentoo is [14:54] anyone know a howto for adding wm options to gdm? [14:54] Valentina: the remote does not need desktop installed. Is gparted installed, though? [14:54] ikonia, sure for that [14:54] Valentina: remote = server [14:54] lianimator: then you are stuck, the router will always reject the connection due to the nature of NAT [14:54] Valentina, do it now, identify the content of each of your drives using a live cd, get their uuid, then update your fstab with uuid syntax. not partitioning needed. i can assure you that you have done no damage up to now, but the way you're going, you will [14:54] ActionParsnip - geez, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, even filtering past all the pngs with sudo find / -iname "*.png" | grep eclipse and I still can't find what I'm looking for. If only I knew what the darned thing was called. [14:54] it said that encryptfs-utils is not installed [14:54] mbeierl: On my desktop computer yes, on server, I dunno. [14:55] !wm | titusg [14:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about wm [14:55] stevecoh1: could try *.xpm instead [14:55] ok [14:55] Valentina: on your ssh session, simply type in gparted as see? [14:55] mbeierl, maybe u need cli disk editor like cfdisk or fdisk [14:55] xpo0f: no reply shows the prompt after ./install again though I chainged the permission as you said [14:56] stevecoh1: if find doesnt help if eclipse is in the Menu ( i dont have eclipse installed so i dont know if it is) then open System>preferences>main menu and highlight the Eclipse launcher and press Properties and then click on the icon. that may open a box to show where that png file is [14:56] !windows-media [14:56] mbeierl: yes, remote is for me the server computer. The server doesnät have a GUI, only cli, but my desktop has got a GUI and gParted. [14:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about windows-media [14:56] BluesKaj: I want to log in using xmonad -- at the moment I have to select xterm then start xmonad [14:56] ikonia: thanks anyway duder [14:56] mbeierl: Ok. [14:56] tree88, maybe u need to run as root to execute that [14:56] xpo0f: the readme file says to ./install [14:56] BluesKaj: what are you looking for under win media? [14:56] mbeierl: gParted isnät installed on the server, then I will install ie. [14:56] xpo0f: you mean sudo ./install or su and then do all these ? [14:56] *it [14:56] tree88: when its ran does it say file not found? [14:56] How do I add the icons besides menu items (File -> New/Open/Save/Etc.) in 9.10? [14:56] tree88, if not have permission to execute.. how it will be ./install .. sure for root [14:56] Valentina: don't worry about it then. we'll just use parted [14:56] mahngiel, nothing , i was mistaken [14:57] mbeierl: Ok. [14:57] how can I change the default run level on ubuntu 9.10 server? I installed gdm but I don't want it to start up in graphical mode === epinky_ is now known as epinky [14:57] Valentina: or fdisk or whatever you are most comfortable with. [14:57] mbeierl, sure for that.. parted also work fine [14:57] ampex: update-rc.configd [14:57] The problem is what my fdisk did to my /home partition sdc1 and how to get it right again. [14:57] !runlevel ampex [14:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevel ampex [14:57] ampex: sorry - update-rc.d [14:57] I'm on Karmic now and there is no /boot/grub/menu.lst so how does it know I also have a windows partition? [14:57] !runlevel | ampex [14:57] ampex: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [14:57] Valentina, that is a fstab issue! not a partition issue [14:58] lianimator, u need to manual for that [14:58] ActionParsnip: It says nth, not even a blank line returns to the prompt again [14:58] mbeierl: We try fdisk, I went well last time I used it, but on the wrong disc. ;) [14:58] ActionParsnip: the file is sure there [14:58] How do I add the icons besides menu items (File -> New/Open/Save/Etc.) in 9.10? [14:58] xpo0f: you mean, manually create? [14:58] tree88: hmm, well thats something, least its being ran as you arent being told th file isnt there and you are using the ./ meaning the file is in the pwd [14:58] ActionParsnip: I can read the !/bin/sh script when I do "nano install" [14:58] Yolarina1: i thinkl gnome devs or the ubuntui devs decided that icons are only for 'real' things. not actions. [14:58] bidossessi: uuid for fstab, sure, but you cannot use anything other than /dev/sdX for partitioning, no? Is there a better way? [14:58] lianimator, i guess becoz im always did it manual [14:58] Finnish: open synaptic click on Search and enter invoice kraft and gnotime look like they may be good [14:58] bidossessi: Well, I don't know, will fdisk somehow damage my file system at /home that uses the sdc1 partition? [14:58] xpo0f: where is the current config located? [14:59] Dr_Willis: Yes, how do I add them again? [14:59] lianimator, /boot/grub/grub.conf [14:59] tree88: could try: sh ./install [14:59] bidossessi: Or will fidsk only mess up the fstab? [14:59] guntbert: so how would I go about disabling gdm on boot? update-rc.d or is there another more user friendly tool? [14:59] help pls.. when i upgrade to 9.10 my audio is messen up [14:59] legend2440, kraft was complaining about QT [14:59] lianimator, edit it properly or it wont boot [14:59] !mp3 [14:59] iTunes 9.0.2.25 stopped [14:59] 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 [14:59] xpo0f: thanks [14:59] ActionParsnip: same as before no reply at all [14:59] unless u now editing in grub.. gudluck [14:59] Yolarina1: short answer.. you dont. Its proberly would need recompiling., [14:59] !itunes | Vero [14:59] Vero: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [14:59] Is it possible to upgrade between LTS versions [14:59] Finnish: dependency problems? [15:00] Dr_Willis: I want them back! [15:00] Yolarina1, what happen [15:00] Yolarina1: there was an artical out a few weeks back about how gnome devcs are cleaning up all these extra icons all over the place [15:00] electro: sure, but the current LTS is hardy [15:00] mbeierl: xt38 said something about comparing the /proc/partitons and something else to see if I messed the sdc up. [15:00] Yolarina1: good luck then. [15:00] Hi, I'm not able to get a microphone working through the 3.5mm microphone jack on my laptop. My sound card is intel HD audio (82801H - ICH8 Family). It only records sound from my laptop's built-in mic. How can I fix this? [15:00] ampex: update-rc, like ikonia already said, I only added the info about "runlevels" :-) [15:00] ikonia: any ideas? [15:00] electro: lucid is the next LTS in april next year [15:00] I got a Hp pavilion dv2125 and i want to put ubuntu on it will it work? [15:00] Valentina: ok, so I'm pretty sure that you need to refer to the device by its /dev/sdX name for partitioning and making the filesystem, and sorry - I don't know what to compare /proc/partitions to ... gimme a minute on that [15:00] ActionParsnip: ok, so I can upgrade to that when it comes out correct? [15:00] i hope someone can help me. [15:01] Valentina, obviously your partitioning attempt fail, since you still have your /home partition mounted. so i really suggest you move off the partitioning route and get to finding out the uuids of your drives so that you can edit fstab accordingly, WITHOUT touching your partitions [15:01] how to run dotnet application in Ubuntu [15:01] prageeth: mono [15:01] prageeth, like i said: mono [15:01] electro: sure, just like any other upgrade [15:01] just sed the sources.list file and update like I normally do? (mind you I speak from upgrading from release to release this is more for a prod environment) [15:01] prageeth: check the wine app database about using dotnet stuff. or try running them witn mono (good luck with that) [15:01] perlsyntax, why you don't put the disc inside and see if the live system works fine or not?

[15:02] bidossessi: Hm, are oyu sure? The partitioning by fdisk seemed to work, I got errors trying to sudo mkfs, not before? I got the option to enter partition number, cylinders etc in fdisk.

[15:06] mbeierl, right now, valentina has all her drives installed, so running blkid will give all availble uuids. the next step is writing them down, removeing the new hdd to get back to the old configuration, checking for differences, then updating fstab with the harvested uuids. once that is done, inserting a new drive will be harmless [15:07] mbeierl: thank you so much [15:07] I installed windows first and then karmic, so my grub was configured automatically. my friend did the opposite way, karmic first, then windows 7... how can he auto-configure grub?? === ren_ is now known as renren [15:07] does the package users-admin exist? the book i have claims it does [15:07] !windows-ate-my-grub [15:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:07] mordof: i'm not sure about write access problem since i dont have ay ntfs partitions. but to get icon off desktop mount it in /mnt/disk instead of /media/disk [15:07] Here is the result of running sudo blkid: http://paste.ubuntu.com/315131/ [15:07] ok thanks >Dr_Willis [15:07] legend2440: ok, ty :) [15:07] bidossessi: ok.

[15:11] how to use mono === marjomercado is now known as marjo [15:11] Valentina: that would be the "placeholder" for the logical partitions. There are two types of partitions in DOS partition tables: primary and logical. One primary partition can be designated to hold logical partitions, giving you a total of 7 partitions possible [15:11] !mono [15:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about mono [15:11] ok but freenx still uses my old pw [15:11] helo [15:12] Valentina, problem?

But we have to solve the problem with the sdc because that was the drive I was messign around with. [15:15] i got a problem [15:15] Valentina: /dev/sdb5 is the logical partition (>=5) located "inside" /dev/sdb2 and it is your swap space. I think it was created by the installer automatically [15:15] marlinc: what's up [15:15] ok thanks Dr_Willis> and every one I got to shut down my server and puit the screen I have in there on top [15:15] is a b to look at it where i put it lol [15:15] alright hey folks, i'm gonna go to bed. it's too late, i can't keep my eyes open, crap like that. night folks [15:16] mbeierl: So Extended sdb2 holds swap and the main partition(file system)? [15:16] i have windows and want to install unbunto to a external hdd [15:16] http://pp.kupujemy.pl/stats/click_ad/fpdk [15:16] http://pp.kupujemy.pl/stats/click_ad/fpdk [15:16] but it gives a arror [15:16] http://pp.kupujemy.pl/stats/click_ad/fpdk [15:16] d_rwin: No, forget about the CDROM. [15:16] boot the cd choose the usb drive [15:16] k [15:16] Valentina: no, the main is on /dev/sdb1, sdb2 is a "container" partition that can hold up to 4 more partitions. They would be named "/dev/sdb5, 6, 7, 8" but you only have 1 in it: /dev/sdb5 [15:16] marlinc: themod is correct, change your boot order in bios [15:16] but can i run from a virtual cd drive [15:16] :) [15:16] no i cant install it [15:17] mbeierl: Yeah, but the sdb2 partition, what's that? [15:17] I have a weird phenomenon where in Eclipse I can not press buttons with the mouse. Is this something that's related to the Compiz that comes with Ubuntu? (I turned on the effects) [15:17] Help please? I use Wubi and the update to grub seems to have lost configuration and now I have to bott manually.. any easy way to fix theis? [15:17] i've done this with old 6.06 once and a slow drive ewwwww [15:17] PupenoG: that looks like you've got an "any/any" accept rule, as well as an any/any block rule [15:17] mbeierl: Why is there a sdb2 Extended partition, I only chose file system partition and swap partition at sdb. [15:17] Help please? I use Wubi and the update to grub seems to have lost configuration and now I have to boot manually.. any easy way to fix this? [15:17] Valentina: http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/file/structPartitions-c.html <- this give a bit of an overview of DOS partition tables [15:17] Valentina, http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/321/fstab-with-uuid/ [15:17] from the command line I can do "ssh pegasus" and it logs me in fine with key-based authentication; but when I have autofs going for the sshfs, it prompts me every time... what's the difference? [15:18] Valentina: even though we are running linux, the partitioning of the disks is still based on the DOS standard [15:18] marlinc: perhaps you can try to install inside wubi onto the ext. hd [15:18] mbeierl: Ok, but for now I have to get the sdc working or at least check that's really working although I was messing around using fdisk on it. [15:18] ikonia: weird, but nmap shows the port not being accessible. [15:18] an if you have a 730a or 750 chipset from nvidia theres an issue with seeing sata drive [15:18] marlinc, it is the same process as using in a USB flash drive [15:19] or else i'd dual boot now [15:19] PupenoG: nmap isn't a vaid test tool, that just means a daemon responded on that port [15:19] bidossessi: I think I now about that. I have read some info about the UUID and the /dev/sdX, that I could use both addign a new hard drive to my fstab. [15:19] Valentina: so, I see the partition info for /dev/sdc on your prior pastebin. I'd like to see the output of /proc/partitions now. I think /dev/sdc is still ok [15:19] !audio [15:19] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [15:19] only one that sees it is supergamer but i have other issues with that [15:19] ikonia: ok. [15:19] mbeierl: Ok. [15:19] eait [15:19] *wait [15:19] PupenoG: that doesn't mean I'm right, I'd check for anything known in the nagios channels too [15:19] Valentina, uuid is MUCH preferred to block devices [15:20] for obvious reasons [15:20] bye all [15:20] bye [15:21] Anybody else having trouble with Grub2 screwing up their Wubi configurations? [15:21] ActionParsnip - it's not an XPM either. What a pain. [15:21] #ubuntu: how to switch workspaces? [15:22] xckpd7: use the workspace switcher in the bottom right hand corner [15:22] !@# [15:22] mbeierl: Here we go, the proc/partitions: http://paste.ubuntu.com/315143/ [15:23] xckpd7, which window manager? [15:23] bidossessi: Ok, but the default in Ubuntu seem to be /dev/sdX [15:23] GuidMorrow: ? [15:24] mbeierl: sda6? What the... [15:24] d_rwin: alt + ctrl + right arrow/left arrow.... thanks though [15:24] ok, why does Ubuntu Studio dump me in "tty1" mode at startup [15:24] GuidMorrow, this isn't IM , IRC uses different conventions [15:24] Hi [15:24] is the ati driver able to work two cards at the same time now? [15:24] Valentina: others may correct me if I'm wrong, but here is what I see: fdisk shows /dev/sdc1 as 40202631 blocks. /proc/partitions shows /dev/sdc1 as 40202631 blocks. Therefore I believe that your fdisk of /dev/sdc was harmless and all is well [15:25] stevecoh1: does it look like this? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Eclipse+Icon?content=87185 [15:25] xckpd7, can try alt + f1, f* [15:25] mbeierl: Ah, I'm stupid, the sda is the new hard drive? [15:25] Is Ubuntu Netbook Remix just compatible with Intel Atom? [15:25] Valentina: I was also confused by seeing /dev/sda in that list. does /dev/sdaX show up in "mount" [15:25] mbeierl: The new hard drive isn't empty. [15:25] gpscura no, it will work on other Intel and AMD chips as well [15:25] Valentina: but /dev/sda did not show up when you used sudo blkid? [15:26] Omaran thanks :) [15:26] mbeierl: Ok, well, what will happend if I did some damage using the fdisk at sdc? [15:26] !tty [15:26] To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [15:26] gpscura, you´re welcome [15:26] Valentina: did you want to keep the data on the new disk? [15:26] mbeierl: Will the file system be dameged or only the mounting of it? [15:26] Valentina: only the mounting of it [15:26] OK... if anybody else is having trouble with WUBI and GRUB2... I found the answer in the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1314064&highlight=wubi+trouble+grub&page=4 [15:27] Valentina: and now that you have a backup... worst case: mkfs.ext it and then copy the data back :) [15:27] mbeierl: No, I will remove all data on the new disc, it has got NTFS file system, I have found it on the street. [15:27] wait , how do TTY terminals work, does it communicate with something hooked up to COM ports [15:27] Omarman and, what about Moblin? it works just with Atom? [15:27] Valentina: oh, that's a new one :) found it on the street... hee hee [15:27] mbeierl: Don't know what it is having, I will use it as a backup disc. [15:27] salve [15:27] gpscura... I haven't tried moblin on non-Atom machines yes. But my guess is it should also work. [15:28] mbeierl: ;) [15:28] mbeierl: Well, I actually havenät stolen it, I actually found it in the garbage. [15:28] Omarman: Ok [15:28] Valentina: ok, so what you want to do then is use fdisk or your favourite partitioning program to create a new partition table for the /dev/sda disk. I suggest deleting all the old ones and making one single new partition for the whole disk [15:29] Valentina: not suggesting you were, but it was funny to hear "found it on the street" :) [15:29] hi, what is the easiest way to share file between two ubuntu computer? thanks [15:30] petsounds, scp [15:30] petsounds, or some graphical toy which is build on top of that. [15:30] petsounds: scp can copy files. it's not a file system that you can see from the other computer, though [15:30] i am remote logged with openssh, and i started mpd (music player daemon), which is running, why i cant see it listed with the command ps -a? [15:31] fasta, petsounds: unless you use the sshfs on top of that [15:31] I want to completely remove everything on the new hard drive, then use it as a back up disc on my Ubuntu Server system. I think I have to do this: 1. Remove the old partition table. 2. Crate a new one holding a single partition. 3. Format the new partition using sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda1 [15:31] Maxmim_2: ps ax [15:31] how can i go to other computer folder with nautilus? [15:31] can someone with an english ubuntu tell me what is the correct name for the "video and sound" item in the applications menu ? [15:31] mbeierl, with Konqueror 3.5 it worked without sshfs. [15:31] mbeierl: The problem is that I don't know how to remove the old partition table? Will it be done using sudo fdisk and then (d) option? [15:31] i need to copy my music folder [15:31] Valentina: yes. You can then get the UUID for the new filesystem by using "sudo blkid" and adding that to /etc/fstab as UUID=X /backup ... etc [15:32] bibinou: Sound & Video here [15:32] How do I configure a VPN with NetworkManager if all I have is a PKCS12 certificate file (*.p12)? [15:32] fasta: sorry - ubuntu here, not kubuntu, so I didn't know... [15:32] trism: thanks ! [15:32] ErUSUL ? what means -x ? that the process doesnt control a terminal? [15:32] petsounds, you can type in ssh:/// in nautilus [15:32] it worked [15:32] join #mediawiki [15:32] mbeierl, ubuntu doesn't mean that you cannot install KDE applications. [15:32] Maxmim_2: processe in background such as daemons [15:33] what should i do about empty windows in evolution? http://yfrog.com/2m39081162p [15:33] it means you should install them <: [15:33] fasta: true, but what I meant was I never tried knoquerer... [15:33] trism: one more thing ... there is a "video player" in there ? [15:33] trism: it's totem [15:33] What's the most secure way to download Ubuntu? [15:33] mbeierl, it used to be a great application, but now they have Dolphin which is a POS. [15:33] gpscura: wget [15:33] erUSUL, i think it is not because is on the background, but because does not use a terminal for that [15:33] mbeierl: Or using adding the /dev/sda? [15:33] I'm having the same issue as the guy in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=397055 - but he never got an answer. Can anybody help? [15:33] DaZ: i'm using Windows [15:33] mbeierl: Like my fstab today have sdc and sdb? [15:33] gpscura: then use anything you want [15:33] ps -a, will alredy list background and foreground processes [15:33] and download it [15:34] gpscura: if you still don't trust the iso, check md5sum [15:34] -x means ( i think), without TTY , that means terminal window [15:34] savid : and how can i know my own ip address? [15:34] Valentina: I think we've "learned" that using /dev/sdX is subject to change and should stick to UUID, unless you plan on never ever again adding another drive? [15:34] bibinou: yes, totem, although it is called "Movie Player" [15:34] petsounds: The public internet ip address or your local ip address? [15:34] fasta: kewel, thanks. I'll give it a try [15:34] trism: "movie player", thank you !! [15:35] Daz: I'm using Firefox to download it, but it stops downloading everytime [15:35] Maxmim_2 : idk sir, but like savid said i need to put my ip address in nautilus so i can go into another computer [15:35] DaZ: Is using torrent a good way? [15:35] gpscura: then torrents maybe [15:35] DaZ: thanks [15:35] petsounds: he meant to put in the ip address or name of the other computer, I think === basti2 is now known as basti [15:35] legend2440 - no, that's not it. That I find on my system. Can you paste an image into pastebin? If not, where then? [15:36] gpscura: ubuntu website has a torrentfile [15:36] petsounds, not your ip address, the other computer's IP address :-P [15:36] mbeierl: Yeah, and when I look into fstab now, I can see that is is using the UUID and the it also says that my file system was istalled at sd1 and my home at sdb so Ubuntu changed the sdX when I connected the new hard drive! That was a dirty trick! [15:36] mbeierl: On sda and sdb [15:36] DaZ: thank you, i'll try to find it [15:36] mbeierl : oh ok that would be easier :) [15:36] Valentina: it's not a trick, it's the motherboard that enumerates them differently when a new drive is put it. So blame it on the PC, not ubuntu :( [15:36] Valentina: i accidently reforamted a drive when they did the ide chnages from hd## to sd## :) [15:36] stevecoh1: sorry i dont have eclipse installed [15:37] mbeierl: /dev/sdc0 is cdrom and then I have a /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 [15:37] petsounds: hee hee ;) [15:37] DaZ: i found it [15:37] Valentina: you can mount them by Label if you wanted to instead of UUID [15:37] mbeierl: But the computer doesn't have a foppy drive? [15:37] bbl [15:37] Valentina: yes. Those can't use uuid as the media in them are removable [15:37] gpscura: you can install wget on windows by the way [15:37] it's very handy <; [15:37] ok i'm trying it now. [15:38] Is installing wine and playing call for duty a crime? [15:38] Dr_Willis: Well, I was about to format my /home partition, but that hadnät done to much damage, I only had some files on it. [15:38] Valentina: oh, I see. Your can probably remove the /dev/fd0 entry then. Although some bios/motherboards can report removable memory sticks as floppy drives... [15:38] DaZ: I did not know it, thank you [15:38] I My Dell mini 10 (GMA 500) will not wake from sleep running Jaunty (black screen) I did the SUSPENDED_MODULES trick, but no luck. Does anyone have any ideas?

It was a lame attempt at humour. No, if you own a legal copy of software, it is not a crime to use it under wine [15:40] mbeierl: Actually I was installing the Ubuntu Server from a usb flash drive, could that have been creating the /dev/sdc0 /media/floppy0 partition? [15:40] it's smaller and needs less resources imo [15:40] mbeierl: Sorry, I mean the /dev/fd0 partition. [15:40] Valentina: yes, that could be. I'd leave it, it's harmless enough [15:41] Valentina: the easiest thing to do is comment it out of fstab blacklist it in modprobe.d and run update-initramfs -u and update-grub [15:41] DaZ: ok [15:41] mbeierl: Ok, just wondering what it was on my system, well, then we forget about that. [15:41] mbeierl : i cant connect to another computer, im using Lan cable.. [15:41] Valentina: some usb/memory card readers present themselves as floppies, others as cdroms...

So I should remove it or can I let it be therE? [15:43] petsounds, Are you using a crossover cable? [15:44] Valentina: yes [15:44] mbeierl: Yes, I hope it is. [15:44] petsounds, you'll need to either connect via a network switch, or use a crossover cable. [15:44] Valentina: seriously, I am sure it is the right one. [15:44] has anyone installed SVN on ubuntu? [15:44] robin0800: Yes what? Remove or let it live there? [15:44] mbeierl: Ok, then let try it out, brb. [15:44] savid : what do you mean with crossover cable? :) im using lan cable or ethernet [15:45] mbeierl: Hm unable to read /dev/sda [15:45] Valentina: leave it there if you want to if not remove as I stated above [15:45] petsounds, you can't connect one computer directly to another with a normal ethernet cable. You must either go through a hub or switch, or use a crossover cable. [15:45] I lost my Equation dialog box in openoffice. I clicked Insert->Object->Equation and I was able to see a nice dialog with all the symbols. Now when I do the same thing, there is no dialog box. [15:46] Valentina: Ah.

[15:57] mbeierl: It gives me many rows like this: Nov 10 14:27:58 c-3e79e755 kernel: [ 566.002450] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Unhandled error code [15:57] mbeierl: I know that, but my internet connection is faulty, so I decided to grab a copy (if possible) of all of the distribution. I thought that the DVD costs are obviously considerable, but the software has no cost. [15:58] Valentina: ok, that confirms it. Yes there is something wrong somewhere on the drive. [15:58] mbeierl: A lot of lines that has that info. [15:58] is there a frimware flash utility in the repos that will flash the firmware of a mp3 player [15:58] Valentina: I am sorry to say, but the drive is not going to work as a back up for you. It is going back to its home on the street :( [15:58] mbeierl: You can't trust people anymore. Throwing damaged hard drives in the carbage. Damaged hard drives shall be burnt!

You are having trouble with getting the software over internet connection, so you want to see if you can get the complete mirror on a set of DVDs?

Same procedure, insert new disk, check to see if it's /dev/sda or /dev/sdc or ... and then fdisk (d) (n), etc... [16:00] mbeierl: I'll will turn my server off, replace my damaged hard drive by a new one of street model. === kb is now known as Guest79163 [16:01] Valentina: but make sure first that you have UUIDs in your fstab !! :) [16:01] savid : network manager can identify auto eth0 but if i choose that, it doesnt want to connect. it always comeback to auto eth1. which is usb cable for connecting modem.

[16:02] if you wanted to have a drive as storage would it need to have a partition in ubuntu? [16:02] Valentina: yep. Good luck with your HD salvage operation! [16:02] Graviton: what is the problem with 32 one. If I go for 64 then I will have to let some installed ones go with wind. [16:02] mbeierl: That's right. [16:02] savid : home router?

[16:03] jayjay: I do not know what the procedure for that would be. I do know that there is the a proxy/cache ability for packages, so you can have one computer act as a local mirror for the other ones in your network [16:03] can i burn a cd from a live system which is a loaded from a dvd in the same drive?

You'll need to configure IP addresses manually for each computer. [16:05] Besogon: damn. thanks [16:05] mbeierl: oh, I see. Well, I will try to ask via email to an administrator or the like, maybe they could tell me about costs, and the rest of the details.

[16:52] Valentina: they run asynchronous, so no, they wont be delayed [16:52] Is this the main ubuntu support line?

[16:58] aman: with?? [16:58] enzotib: so my thought is something like gnome-terminal -x "gnuplot --file= blah" [16:58] mahngiel: Thanks. :) [16:59] gnusar: what would be the command alone, without gnome-terminal? [16:59] installing google talk [16:59] Hi. I am trying to setup some samba shares on my ubuntu box.... and having problems with permissions. Over samba, files are created with rw-r--r-- mode, yet i would want rw-rw----. I tried a bunch of options (and restarted samba) yet it always creates files with rw-r--r--.... here's what my configuration looks like for the share : http://pastie.org/692109 [16:59] aman: did you dnld the file off the net or use synaptic? [16:59] plz help me [16:59] gnusar: try: gnome-terminale -x sh -c 'gnuplot --file="blah"' [16:59] mahngiel: I have not, but then I am a Tux On Ice fan and use that instead of the kernel hibernation. It works well with hibernate script. But for karmic the straight suspend-to-ram and resume oddly enough works finally for me [16:59] enzotib: i am wondering about that too right now ;) but i can't even get an echo to work with an argument [16:59] aman: you can use empathy, ym for linux is very outdated [16:59] aman: did you try empathy or pidgin? [16:59] can someone tell me how to fix internet connection ? [16:59] no [17:00] I have a RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC] [17:00] and a RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC] [17:00] I used UUID=x ext4 defaults 0 2, I think. That's the same one as my /home uses. Will that be fine for my new hard drive that uses ext4 too? [17:00] mbeierl: does that replace the unix kernel i am using? [17:00] im getting error in kaffeine and cant play anything. it just says "Cannot [17:00] find demultiplexer plugin for the given media data" [17:00] mbeierl: or is that like an appendage? [17:00] then a RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [L] [17:00] mbeierl plz tell me how [17:01] yes tell me how [17:01] mahngiel: it is a set of modules, but yes it is an alternate kernel. Looking for the ppa now, but it's basically the same karmic kernel, with tux on ice hibernation built in [17:01] DarkClouds__: what is up? [17:01] I'm guessing I need a RewriteBase ? [17:01] purma: what input? [17:01] mbeirerl: thank you, take your time [17:02] enzotib: well lets forget about gnuplot for that.. gnome-terminal -x sh -c 'echo argh' should work too, doesn't it? i dont get it to run [17:02] aman: there's a program in the applications -> internet and it's called Empathy [17:02] DarkClouds__ what is your internet issue? [17:02] saerg: im trying to play dvd and use my dvb-c box but it says the same message. it worked fine in 9.04 [17:03] how can I determine why a package is being kept back? [17:03] anyone with issues using transmission? [17:03] last night connected using "sudo pppoeconf" but now it wont do [17:03] gnusar: try sleep 13, instead od echo, and you will see the terminal [17:04] That doesn't work for me [17:04] purma: do other inputs play? dvd encryption is not free, maybe it needs to be installed first [17:04] veinor apt-cache show [17:04] anyone else having pidgin freeze suddenly? [17:04] Veinor, It should list in there conflicts [17:04] mbeierl: you using the jaunty tux-on-ice kernal on karmic? or ... [17:05] hm [17:05] having an issue trying to su from root to another user. does not seem to change users. whoami still returns root. [17:05] specifically, the linux-generic and linux-backport modules aren't being updated [17:05] saerg: i think ive installed all the encryption stuff. totem plays my dvd just fine [17:05] enzotib: i see.. i will try out some more things.. thanks! [17:06] mahngiel: I used the jaunty on jaunty. Have not tried karmic yet. Here's the website http://www.tuxonice.net/ and the ppa info is in the latest news section [17:06] what file system should i use on a SSD? [17:06] llwp: are you doing sudo -iu user [17:06] ? [17:06] r u therreeeeeeeeeeeee [17:06] kreator, the one you need [17:06] kreator: high speed ssd or the netbook ssd? [17:06] no just su user. had worked before, but i think it was a diff shell. [17:06] high speed ssd [17:06] mbeierl: thanks. ya, i'm on it now. forgive me, i'm brand new to unix OS' and have only been using about 3 days [17:06] sudo is preferred over su, I think [17:06] kreator: I would probably use ext4, but I'm not very knowledgeable on SSD's [17:06] kreator: i would say ext3 [17:07] on SSD's they go bad over time [17:07] -i means 'interactive', i.e. shell, and -u user means 'as user' [17:07] im thinking a journaling file system might be hard on it [17:07] pruma: does kaffeine use gstreamer, too? try asking in #kubuntu [17:07] right? [17:07] -i "invalid option" [17:07] !enter | kreator [17:07] kreator: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [17:07] llwp: use sudo, not su [17:08] llwp: Veinor was talking about sudo options, not su options. [17:08] saerg: i think it doesnt [17:08] mahngiel: oh! ok. well adding a new ppa might not be the best for a first time user, but it's basically like so: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tuxonice/ppa" from a terminal. PPA = personal package archive which means that it is maintained by a regular developer, not official Canonical Ubuntu support team [17:08] kreator: IDK, you might have a hard time finding a non-journalling file system that is halfway decent. Even ext2 has journalling IIRC [17:08] oh, my /home filesystem is full. i have used file-light from KDE before and i enjoyed that. is there a non-KDE app like that in ubuntu? [17:08] llwp, Veinor: su should work fine for changing into another user (just not root, since that account is locked by default) [17:08] ok.. did sudo, same result. [17:08] I'm just used to using sudo, I guess [17:08] heh [17:08] gnusar: if you want the terminal to stay up after you run your commands, you could put them in a separate file and do gnome-terminal -x bash --init-file "/path/to/file" [17:08] purma: see kaffeine in wikipedia it will tell you [17:09] still getting 403 Forbidden here - my .htaccess is just: [17:09] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [17:09] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [17:09] goes to next line without error but whoami is still root. [17:09] RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L] [17:09] purma: it uses xine by default but can use gstreamer [17:09] llwp: sudo -i has always given me an interactive root shell [17:09] mbeierl: gotchya. T.O.I. says it has one for karmic. i'm going to give it a whirl. since it's only an update for the hibernation problem. i think that only impacts said issue, no?

Amazing. [17:09] llwp: su SOMEUSERNAME should work fine. [17:09] om26er: aight. thanks [17:10] it used to. doesnt seem to now. [17:10] mahngiel: correct. You might want to give the hibernate script a whirl too as it allows you to configure actions pre/post hibernate [17:10] thx Pici [17:10] Valentina: so it worked, huh? Glad to hear that! [17:10] how do i download compiz fusion and do the spinning cube desktop? [17:10] purma: it depends on phonon. so it can use xine or gstreamer. [17:10] How do I get the tempereture of my server, processor and system temp? [17:10] im thinking its a shell issue. maybe my profile has a bad default shell defined? checking.

[17:11] trism: so the file is something like a script then? [17:11] spwelton: Yeah, at leats it did a lot. I was just placing some rubberband between the hard drives and the chassis. I will have to use soe more to get it really of the chassis. [17:11] Valentina: you might want to install sensors-applet [17:11] I've an ubuntu dev box and a (headless) cent live box (LAMP) I've had it with whatever is going on with the cent box. Is there anything special to ubuntu server edition? [17:11] llwp, if you do su ; echo $? - what does that return? [17:11] ischliky, is it only when you print pdf files?

[17:11] mbeierl: after i add the repos, then it should be in synaptic, ya? [17:12] !compiz > Zee [17:12] Zee, please see my private message [17:12] saerg: ok thanks. ill try to figure out how to make it use gstreamer [17:12] Zee: compiz is installed by default. [17:12] ZoeyMarie, I have a problem sometimes looking at ALL FIRENDS; could be a similar issue [17:12] Strange, on my other computer where I also have Ubuntu Server installed I see the system tempereature every time I log into the system, why doesn't I do this on my new server? [17:12] llwp: odd. but that shouldn't be your problem. [17:12] for some reason apt-get won't upgrade the various kernel metapackages [17:12] !ccsm | Zee [17:12] Zee: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [17:12] mahngiel: it has the same name as the existing kernel so that it gets replaced and kept up to date automatically [17:12] craigbass1976, its actually my mothers computer ill ask here quickly, but i dont think so, but i will double check before i give bad info [17:12] ok thank you [17:12] xt28 ... then im at a loss. [17:12] llwp: if you want to restore them, copy them over from /etc/skel [17:12] craigbass1976: how do you fix it? [17:12] Veinor: Are you using apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade ? [17:12] mbeierl: oh, ok. so once i've sudo'd it in, then it's been done. ? [17:12] I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed on an LVM in an encrypted container and apparently, after the reboot, the filesystem was corrupted, is there any way to recover from that? it does not accept my password (yes, it's the correct one) [17:12] Pici: upgrade, but I'm on karmic already [17:13] Valentina: I'm not very familiar with server edition, do you use a GUI? If so, you may have had sensors-applet installed [17:13] hello again [17:13] mahngiel: sudo aptitude update and then sudo aptitude safe-upgrade (or apt-get as you prefer) [17:13] Veinor: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already [17:13] Veinor: installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. [17:13] ischliky, if it is, then it's part of a known printing pdf bug. This printer is hooked up directly, or via ethernet on the LAN? [17:13] ah. [17:13] ubuntu 9.10 latest firefox crashes when I try to restart it to install an addon. What shall I do? [17:13] ahh, now I know why it's doing it. [17:13] Valentina: i believe there is a cron job updating /etc/issue with this information. or something like that... [17:13] spwelton: No, I pnluy have cli. [17:13] *only [17:13] Veinor: Which is handy because thats how meta-packages work (new package dependencies) [17:13] craigbass1976, directly via USB [17:13] Pici: isn't dist-upgrade now called full-upgrade? [17:14] mbeierl: Only in aptitude [17:14] Valentina: oh, okay, in that case acpi -t should work... [17:14] Pici: ah, ok. thanks! [17:14] ischliky, no idea then, and I'm sitll up to my elbows trying to fix the issue I'm referring to. Sorry, can't help [17:14] hi all - I'm trying to ssh to a remote server, which is locked down pretty tight. From win+putty, I can log in no problem. However, when I try from ubuntu the ssh command returns with Received disconnect from X.X.X.X: 7: Unsupported request (shell). I'm guessing it's some ssh client config that is causing it to send the "shell" command, but i can't figure out what... any ideas? [17:14] hsahsgdsaa: revert to 3.5 [17:14] ischliky, but I would google for ubuntu and your printer model [17:14] Valentina: or there's a program called mbmon that might work well for you. It is CLI [17:14] mbeierl: And aptitude is a bit more forgiving when it comes to packages that depend on new packages now. But the remove stuff is the same. Its manpage has more details. [17:14] mahngiel How? [17:14] xt28: Oh, no, why is there a cron job issue, I haven't done anything exepct installing Ubuntu Server on my computer? [17:14] Bentley, meh? I'm not following you [17:14] Valentina: you're trying to have a modified motd? [17:15] craigbass1976, thanks for help, annoying to fix my moms computer across time zones, mine works great :) [17:15] bastidrazor: What? I'm trying to just check the temperature of my server. I used another computer as server before and then I cpould see the system temperature when I was loged in using ssh. [17:16] ~/. [17:16] hsahsgdsaa: use synaptic to download firefox 3.5 [17:16] Valentina, lmsensors should tell you something [17:16] craigbass1976: I try to ssh (from ubuntu) to a remote server (not ubuntu). When i try, the ssh command returns with "Received disconnect from XX.X.XX.XXX: 7: Unsupported request (shell).". [17:16] Valentina: bastidrazor is right. it's /etc/motd, not /etc/issue that i meant. [17:16] Bentley, what's the server running? OS? [17:16] anyone know how to autoremove outdated kernels? [17:16] Valentina: ahh, what to add in /etc/motd and /etc/motd.tail i don't know to get that. but those are the files you will be modifying [17:17] Bentley, and is this server at the same ip as another server that you once logged into from your ubuntu box? [17:17] bastidrazor: Aha, ok. [17:17] i think i seen something about that in Ubuntu Pocket Guide [17:17] bastidrazor, Valentina: i believe there is a cron job that does this, isn't there? (on desktop systems at least?) [17:17] xt28: Well, on my other computer that worked from scratch. [17:18] xt28: without installing any sensors or so. [17:18] hi, can anybody tell me when I plug in a digital camera on gnome, where does it mount the files? [17:18] virtually [17:18] Valentina: yeah, that's why i think there is a cron job for that in the default (desktop?) install. [17:18] xt28: Valentina yes, update-motd runs to update this. it reads from /etc/motd.tail to overwrite /etc/motd .. what you would add in motd.tail to get temps to display i don't know. [17:18] gnusar: yes, the file is a bash shell script [17:19] devilbues: /media/ [17:19] xt28: No, default server installation. [17:19] trism: thank you [17:19] llwp: have you tried su ; echo $? to get the return code? [17:19] xt28: I'm only talking about Ubuntu Server for now. [17:19] iceroot: nops [17:19] devilbues: /media/xyz the name depends on the device [17:19] craigbass1976: i can't tell what OS it is - some enterprise abomination. Nope, the server is at a different IP than any other server i've hit. The problem is that the ssh command automatically sends a command to the remote server. The remote server is locked down so that all I can issue is "ls". I can access it with Putty. [17:19] Valentina: okay. [17:19] in compiz fusion i have the zoom pan selected, whats the shortcut to zoom?# [17:19] Valentina: also, what bastidrazor said. [17:20] devilbues: hm [17:20] devilbues: then type "mount" [17:20] xt28: as of karmic i don't see the update-motd command. it may have been replaced with something else. [17:20] saerg: I don't see anything mounted there, although I can see the pictures with GPHOTO [17:20] xt28: I had Ubuntu Server 9.04 installed on another computer, then I cpuld see the temperature of the system right after I logged in using ssh, but on my new server computer I can't see anything like that. [17:20] xt28: using Ubuntu Server 9.10. [17:20] whats the super key? [17:20] Zee: windows-key [17:20] Zee, the windows logo one [17:21] okie dokie :) [17:21] windows key [17:21] xtHow can I see however I use the 64-bit or 32-bit version? I was having problem knowing whatever I downloaded form Ubuntu. (I think I use the 32-bit). [17:22] what does this mean button4 ? [17:22] Valentina: uname -r [17:22] Valentina: uname -m [17:22] Zee: Whatever button4 on your mouse is (it may not exist) [17:22] Zee: hold down Windows key and scroll the mouse wheel [17:22] i686 [17:22] #jakilinux [17:22] windows key + scroll down on mouse [17:22] Would that be the 64-bit? [17:22] not working [17:22] iceroot: that would show the kernel only. [17:22] Valentina: that is 32 bit.. [17:22] Valentina: no, _64 is 64 bit [17:22] bastidrazor: yes and he was asking what is current system is using [17:22] bastidrazor: ah. (haven't tried karmic...) [17:22] bastidrazor: Oh, thank God. [17:23] bastidrazor: if i am correct 64bit kernel has the string amd64 in it [17:23] anybody have luck getting free yahoo! mail? [17:23] x86_64 for 64 bit [17:23] iceroot: i have 64bit and it does not show amd64. [17:23] my sound just quit working. I have no idea why. [17:23] !ot | mahngiel [17:23] mahngiel: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [17:23] iceroot, if your cpu is amd64 bit [17:23] bastidrazor: ah ok, then i was wrong [17:23] iceroot: good for a mental note :) [17:23] mahngiel: yahoo mail is free, no? [17:24] Ok, then I downloaded the right version but the download button on ubuntu.com didn't change it's text when I clicked to have the 32-bit version of Ubuntu Server. [17:24] Chris___: of course, but i mean getting it through evolution or thunderbird [17:24] mahngiel: google "yahoo mail imap" [17:24] It still said download 64-bit. [17:24] What's the best way to remove extra old Ubuntu entries on my grub menu from 9.04? Can I just delete the relevant menuentry sections from grub.cfg and run update-grub? [17:24] hi [17:24] Chris___: been there, done that. but iceroot is right, wrong channel [17:25] scarface: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:25] scarface: that will only remove the entry, not free the kernel itself [17:25] scarface: no. remove the unneeded packages with synaptic, or so. [17:25] scarface: be CAREFUL editing that file. if you don't know what you're doing, don't edit it at all. [17:25] scarface: update-grub .. if the older OSes or kernel versoins are not there it will update accordingly [17:25] mahngiel: the free yahoo mail in the us doesn't support pop3/stmp but some the versions for some other countries do [17:25] anyone in here is using 64bit and have trouble with flash, menu and stuff? is there a fix for it? [17:25] xt28, bastidrazor: do you know of a way to autopurge the old kernels? [17:26] MrSchmo: there is a bug report filed [17:26] mbeierl: no autopurge.. use synaptic to uninstall .. or apt-get/aptitude [17:26] bastidrazor: i believe update-grub is run automatically after removing a kernel (post-rm). [17:26] In 'Appearance Preferences' under 'Visual Effects' When i select 'Custom', it gives me an error message saying 'Desktop effects could not be enabled', Can Anyone help? I am fairly new to ubuntu [17:26] MrSchmo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/452938 has details, but no fix yet [17:26] eureka! for some reason i forgot that before i was specifying the shell. this is the only difference, and without -s im not able to sudo. must be config somewhere.. [17:26] mahngiel, oic. damn no solution yet [17:26] Simple question...but how do I make my usb storage device writeable in kubuntu? [17:27] went and looked at my bash_history to figure it out.

I am fairly new to ubuntu [17:27] xt28: yes you are correct [17:27] mbeierl: that's probably a feature. you don't want old kernels removed before you know that the new one works... [17:27] I'm on 9.10 now. I installed it into a new partition and left the 9.04 partition alone, so that's why I see these entries. I'm going to keep the old 9.04 partition around for a while in case I want any old files, but I don't need the option to boot those old kernels.

[17:29] Zee: what is your video card? [17:29] gmathews, your best bet is to boot with the liveCD, and then do your edits [17:29] does evolution connect to exchange 2007 yet?

[17:57] BluesKaj: That command executed without error or output, but the issue remains [17:57] gksudo disables the GTK windowing scheme, I think. So, that's appropriate for what you're doing. [17:57] paissad-hp: you need the full path [17:58] bastidrazor, ok, the full path of the command ? [17:58] on startup on my machine i have the option to start ubuntu start in safe mode or memory test and so on how do i by pass that so it just starts right up [17:58] that"s all ?

[17:59] BluesKaj: Thanks for the help, btw [18:00] jcrawford: find a .deb file .. rpm's will not work on Ubuntu [18:00] paissad-hp, bastidrazor use su in rc.local if you want a command to run as a non-root user. [18:00] :( [18:00] Zee: do you know how to use a terminal? [18:00] Zee: that depends on the contents of the tarball, isn't there a 'readme' or 'install' file in it? [18:00] paissad-hp: as xt28 just said [18:00] anyone know how I can configure libnotify? I'm assuming that libnotify is responsible for the growl-like notifications in 9.10 [18:00] xt28, bastidrazor , how to use su ? ....

[18:18] is gufw a pretty easy to use gui ? i heard firewall was the most popular one but i could get it working when i tried installing it from applications --> ubuntu software centre [18:18] Dr: From the host computer, not from other computers. [18:18] \leave [18:18] !firewall [18:18] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [18:18] anyone here use cryptsetup on Karmic? I have setup that up and during boot it asks for my pasphrase.

[18:20] oh, great, and the sound settings panel doesn't work at all without pulseaudio anymore. [18:20] why doesn't firestarter even install? gufw seems a little too crude and too dependent on knowing rules [18:20] why is it in gufw thre is NO rules? [18:20] vMCubun: they are all front ends to the iptables commands [18:20] vMCubun: my two cents go for Shorewall [18:20] vMCubun: because4 theres no default rules... [18:20] not even tings like "block all incoming"? [18:20] IPCop [18:20] vMCubun: theres no need.. this is not windows [18:20] vMCubun: all those stuff is pointless if you don't know what it does/how it works. it will not increase security for you [18:21] i dont ened to worry about people on my computer doing anything dodgy, ill be the only oen using it [18:21] but stopping people accessing form outside is paramount [18:21] Is the goal of Ubuntu to start out great and get successively more ridiculously broken with each new iteration in order to drive its users into depression? ;) [18:21] vMCubun: dont install any services you dont need... done... [18:21] by default Ubuntu has NO open ports, so a firewall is extraneous IMO unless you're running some services exposed to the internet [18:22] hi guys [18:22] vMCubun, right. If you're not running any services (servers like http, mysql, dat-tee-dah) then you don't need a firewall. You're going to have to punch holes in it anyway to be able to ssh into it.

[19:02] e2fsck 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009) [19:02] /dev/sda1: clean, 165761/2342912 files, 2406935/9353838 blocks [19:02] That's all that says [19:02] Right, that's a good thing. [19:02] whats the command to create a directory on terminal [19:02] Evito: mkdir [19:03] tried everything but that :) [19:03] thanks menza [19:03] Jetsetlemming: Now we've ensured that the file system has good integrity. [19:03] mbeierl: under upgrade it says that no pkgs will be install, upgraded or removed [19:03] Jetsetlemming: You say it goes to a black screen when you boot. No errors? No prompt? [19:03] Yeah. Right after it starts to boot, the last thing I see is the little flashing _ in the far topleft corner for about a second. [19:04] When the LiveCD boot shows the mouse then ubuntu logo, for the hd installation I just get a blank screen. [19:04] I left it run for ten minutes, but it never progressed. [19:04] mahngiel: it's like your mirror is still at -14 and so the metapackage for the kernel wants to keep you at -14... [19:04] mberierl: anything i can do, so i can try to alleviate this suspend issue? [19:05] Jetsetlemming: That's... worrying. Do you have another PC available? It'd be easier if we could troubleshoot this issue while you have access to it. [19:05] Actually, Jetsetlemming [19:05] mbeierl: anything i can do, so i can try to alleviate this suspend issue? else i may as well go back to the package kernel === |GuS| is now known as [GuS] [19:05] hey [19:05] hey [19:05] Jetsetlemming: I should probably ask; did you verify the ISO image before you wrote it to a CD, and did you check it afterwards? [19:05] No, [19:05] Zee: do u have this package installed - xserver-xorg-video-openchrome ? [19:05] I was burning the disc in safe mode in windows [19:05] anyone else experiencing EXTREME CLOSE UPS when they use their webcam in ubuntu? [19:05] md5sum is a good program [19:05] Jetsetlemming: Right. You downloaded the 9.10 Desktop image, then you burned it at what speed? [19:05] My windows was totally going to hell, wanted to be quick [19:05] >_> [19:05] 1x [19:06] mahngiel: well, you're not at the toi kernel right now anyway, so nothing to go back to. But, sorry I don't know any workaround for suspend [19:06] My dvd drive is old [19:06] it works fine in Cheese, it fucks up in firefox [19:06] Annonymorse: Mind the language there :) [19:06] Ok, Hello all, I have a new problem, and I have absolutely no idea what to do. Currently, I'm on my wife's Mac. On my dell vostro 1520 however, I recently reformatted and put Ubuntu 9.10, and Windows 7 Professional. Windows first so tht it wouldn't overwrite grub [19:06] mbeierl: lol. well thanks. i was hoping this other kernel would do the trick. but i guess it never installed so it could write to my hd in the first place [19:06] now, 5 days later, it says grub is loading" then the screen flashes and it restarts back to the dell bios loader [19:06] How can I remove some default apps included in Ubuntu 9.10? Like empathy? Software Centre won't allow me [19:06] !firefox [19:06] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins - See also !firefox-3.5 [19:07] Delano: sudo apt-get remove empathy should do it :) [19:07] any ideas? [19:07] Delano, sudo aptitude purge "program" [19:07] Thanks [19:07] Delano: use software center and click the installed tree [19:07] Delano: But if you're absolutely mortified with the prospect of using the command line, you can use Synaptic to remove it. [19:07] anyone else experiencing EXTREME CLOSE UPS when they use their webcam? [19:07] mahngiel, tried that [19:07] If there's a problem with my disc, is it possible to download and burn another while in the live cd environment? [19:07] Or will taking the disc out while burning to use the drive mess up everythign [19:07] MenZa, I thought so, but I wasn't sure Ubuntu might combust if I tried to take out an installed-by-default app [19:07] Jetsetlemming: did you let the disc do a self-check? [19:08] Jetsetlemming: It will likely mess everything up. [19:08] Jetsetlemming: Well, it'll most likely freeze :) [19:08] coucou ca va [19:08] Jetsetlemming: yes that will [19:08] !fr | aurelie [19:08] aurelie: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[19:08] Hello? [19:09] I am not getting any option to resize partition in Gparted: The partition I am trying to resize has the /home folder mounted, has the 'boot' label, and I cannot unmount it as I get 'the device is busy' [19:09] Jetsetlemming: Were you, by chance, in the middle of updating your install? [19:09] No [19:09] Zee: sudo apt-get install [19:09] Just listening to music and using firefox [19:09] a-rishi: In that case, use the livecd. [19:09] bfdjsbfha: i'm trying to figure out your question [19:09] Jetsetlemming: Right. You get the GRUB menu on start up, right? [19:09] ok thank you.

[19:09] Darn! That is going to take time... I don't have a blank CD and its midnight [19:10] okubax: yes i have installed it [19:10] So there's no boot menu, it automatically tries ubuntu [19:10] MenZa: Thanks, hope it works [19:10] Jetsetlemming: You don't, at any point, get a menu? Or a prompt for a few seconds saying "Press ESC to view the GRUB boot menu" or similar? [19:10] Not that I saw. [19:10] bfdjsbfha: what's installed on it now? [19:10] Jetsetlemming: I may be at a long shot here, but... booting an older kernel might be a possibility.

Pretty alien to me compared to a normal C:\ directory >_> [19:14] Jetsetlemming: Excellent. Could you navigate to /boot/grub/? [19:15] Jetsetlemming: Well, you're not *supposed* to fiddle with it; we just have to :) [19:15] Ok, I'm there [19:15] trijntje: sometimes my mouse stopps working but the computer is ok [19:15] i wish there was a way to organize my rhythmbox music by some form of online ratings [19:15] need to restart usb i think [19:15] okubax: ok [19:15] thanks for ur helop anyways [19:15] Jetsetlemming: Actually, go back. Find 'etc', then 'default'. [19:15] bthomson, can you pull it out and plug it in again? [19:15] yeh and plug in other mouse does not work either [19:15] Zee: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=624045 [19:16] although it show up in lsusb [19:16] Ok, now I'm there instead. [19:16] Jetsetlemming: Open the file called 'grub' (right-click, open it with 'Text Editor') [19:16] bthomson, plugging in a usb-stick? [19:16] plug in another usb mouse [19:16] how can i make ad block to work like in the past - blocking a lot of ads? - not it isnt [19:16] Schattenwache: are they listed in /etc/fstab?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:18] question: Does the router know the packet's entire route through the Internet? [19:18] Schattenwache: do you see many entries or just the / and /home entries? [19:18] gon3dion: no [19:18] Jetsetlemming: Right, I see it. The problem currently is that it doesn't display the menu at all; it sees no need to because you only have one system installed. [19:18] gon3dion: no [19:18] bthomson, what happens when you plug in a usb stick? does it get recoginsed/mounted etc? [19:18] thnx [19:18] Jetsetlemming: I just need to do a bit of research on how to actually add the information from that file to GRUB, hold on please. [19:18] trijntje: yes can be viewed in lsusb [19:19] Ok. [19:19] can I remove frames from a wireshark file when it has gotten huge? [19:19] !kilk [19:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about kilk [19:19] <_mc> greetings all does ubuntu have anything that is similar to an active domain in a windows setup? I'm not talking about SMB I'm talking about switching an entire company to ubuntu. I wonder how users will authenticate against a domain controller?

For instructions and more information see http://dot.kde.org/1126867980/ [19:19] is there any channel for devs ? [19:19] yo dwag, i heard u like linux so i put a linux in ur linux so u can linux while u linux! [19:20] Jackiz: take it offtopic [19:20] xisco: #ubuntu-devel [19:20] Is anyone having issues with Ubuntu 9.10 when opening folders it doesn't display all the content and just keeps on loading forever? [19:20] Let's try this again. :) I have an Audigy 2, which normally has a few dozen volume control settings that I'd ordinarily use to control the volume on my headphones and speakers separately. It only appears as a single device in the sound control panel and in pavucontrol, so I can only control the master volume setting. [19:21] Jetsetlemming: Yet again, I'm only suggesting the more difficult options available. Reboot your system, and hold your SHIFT key throughout the ENTIRE boot process. You should see a menu. In this case, you'll see a number of different lines. These are your kernels. Each of them come with a 'normal' option, and a 'recovery' option. You want the *second* kernel down, without the recovery option, so most likely the third option available. [19:21] xisco: or #ubuntu-motu for non-main dev. [19:21] make99: i haven't seen it [19:21] Jetsetlemming: I hope that made any sense. [19:21] How the heck am I expected to control the volume/mute for my speakers and headphones separately? [19:21] I'm looking for a program that can track my internet usage and give me totals of my bandwidth consumption on a daily and monthly basis... any clues? [19:21] And what does that kernal do? [19:21] Jetsetlemming: Hopefully, it'll work. [19:21] So I should reboot and try that now? [19:21] Delano: doesn't your wifi card company have that for u? [19:21] Jetsetlemming: I honestly have no clue what the issue is, but I'm trying to eliminate a few variables here and there. [19:22] Alright, brb. [19:22] Jetsetlemming: Please do - if it doesn't work, come back. I'll be around for a while. [19:22] * MenZa has enough coffee to last him a few hours. [19:22] mahngiel, no... I'm in the third-world :op [19:22] mahngiel, even worse, I have a monthly download cap [19:22] * mahngiel laughs [19:22] _mc: i'm thinking about your problem, it's an interesting one. i would think there would be something, but then i asked, "why is it necessary"? [19:22] mahngiel, if I go over, I pay extra [19:23] * seidos has some tea that he doesn't feel like drinking [19:23] Delano: i had that same problem with Verizon Wireless, except their usage was always off by a few days [19:23] Delano, I hate caps. [19:23] * seidos is feeling under the weather [19:23] I don't have caps on my ISP - Verizon FIOS never has restriction on using internet - No caps so it's nice.

[19:24] well. many thanks to all. i've learned and thought over some new topics today. y'all take care now, ya hear? lol [19:24] mbeierl when i enter cat /etc/fstab there are only the three partitions listened of ubuntu /, /home and swap [19:25] Jetsetlemming: What's the news? [19:25] Ok, I'm really confused now. Held Shift as soon as I saw the bios screen [19:25] and the cdrom [19:25] And no menu at all popped up. Instead, my ubuntu install properly loaded. [19:25] wat. [19:25] * MenZa is decidedly very confused. [19:25] Schattenwache: sorry - it was a thought that maybe that was adding it... out of ideas for the momeny [19:25] moment [19:26] Is there any sort of error log in ubuntu? [19:26] Or boot log?

[19:26] can anyone recommand program where I can organise photos by location (using the geotag info already in the photos), or if there is a plugin that would allow f-spot to do this? [19:26] Jetsetlemming: There's also /var/log/syslog [19:26] Jetsetlemming, go to System > Admin > Log File Viewer [19:26] Jetsetlemming: But do what furuno says <_< [19:26] * MenZa is too old school to use them fancy new programs.

[19:29] This is in the fourth line on the syslog [19:29] or at least have vlc start the vid [19:29] I've tried alsa mixen in the terminal, switching cables but no sound. [19:29] greha : would GStreamer sufficient? [19:29] Jetsetlemming: Yeah, that would probably result in instant death. [19:29] On 8.04 it worked wright away [19:29] furuno, well if it has to it will do [19:29] Jetsetlemming: I dunno, maybe the fsck *did* fix something. [19:30] Jetsetlemming: In any case, it works now. I am utterly perplexed, but I'm happy it worked out for you. [19:30] Was it supposed to do something? I thought that was for information. [19:30] * MenZa will not sleep tonight. [19:30] seidos: no, I have switched a small school though [19:30] mbeierl: cool [19:30] Jetsetlemming: I'm not sure, but it sounds serious :) [19:30] Oh and kubuntu does work, it gives sound you go figure?!?! [19:30] i have enabled the blacklist for modems in blacklist-modem.conf but modules are still loaded. looks like a joke. how can i prevent modem modules from being really loaded? [19:30] mbeierl: how did you make that happen? did you know the principal? [19:31] Well, it started with ubuntu freezing. Do you know what would cause that? My music was still playing, but absolutely nothing I did would make the computer respond, including hitting caps lock etc on my keyboard, they wouldn't light up. [19:31] Jetsetlemming: it's a known freedesktop bug [19:31] Jetsetlemming: That might be solved by a fsck, but I'm not sure, to be honest. [19:31] I was in the middle of browsing a website that was running slow while it happened so my gut reaction is it somehow ran out of memory or something, but I don't see how that would cause a crash [19:31] So no one has any clue huh :-( [19:31] Jetsetlemming: it's due to new video drivers/Xorg [19:31] jmg: I already told you, look at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1307019 AND http://unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/525-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu910-karmic-koala [19:31] Jetsetlemming, or bad flash/js ?

I'm the IT/computer/support volunteer, so I got to choose [19:31] Ooh ok thanks arand [19:31] That can freeze ubuntu? [19:32] seidos: all the kids prefer linux now [19:32] Jetsetlemming: Not any more than any other operating system. [19:32] Jetsetlemming: yes. and I guess your mouse works, but nothing else [19:32] mbeierl: cool [19:32] Badly-written software can crash any platform. [19:32] Yeah, but I couldn't click on anything, just wave it around. [19:32] I had gone to the site, www.destructoid.com plenty in windows. [19:32] seidos: oddly, it was the 'wobbly-windows' that got them all hooked [19:32] my suspend and wake up on my hp laptop is fixed! it was a usb gps that i was leaving plugged in to laptop when I would close the lid in my truck and when it would wake it would lock me out of keyboard and mouse.. every time i close lid I unplug gps first and it wakes perfectly so if any one els is having same prob ask if anything is plugged into usb when they let it suspend [19:32] Hm, what graphics chip do you have, Jetsetlemming [19:32] It's always been poorly optimized as websites go but never any system issues with it [19:32] Intel 828 integrated chip [19:32] Jetsetlemming: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2009-September/004122.html [19:33] Jetsetlemming: Aha. [19:33] Jetsetlemming: Well, at least be glad you're not on Jaunty. [19:33] Alright, is there a way to set an acl with and then have some kind of mask set that propegates to ALL directories/files forced to the parent directories settings? [19:33] mbeierl: that isn't surprising. I was hoping to get compiz effects working on my laptop so I can show it off, but no luck with integrated intel graphics [19:33] I don't know what jaunty is. [19:33] running on 8.10 [19:33] hello km [19:33] Jetsetlemming: oops..https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24789 [19:33] * Cale is starting to wish he was back on Jaunty. [19:33] Although, it does look like eix has a link that's exactly dscribing what you're having. [19:33] Jetsetlemming: 9.04 [19:33] furuno, can you help me? [19:33] seidos: really? it works well with the 915 chipset... [19:33] Jetsetlemming: 9.04 was codenamed 'Jaunty Jackalope', or simply 'Jaunty' :) [19:34] MenZa: yes, the 2nd link is more appropriate [19:34] This situation with audio on Karmic is just really screwed up. [19:34] mbeierl: i have G960 [19:34] And we're on 9.10 now, right? [19:34] Correct. [19:34] question: If /14 is a subnet mask, how many bits are there in the host part? [19:34] greha : for installing codec, just install Gstreamer extra plugin & GStreamer FFMPEG from the software source [19:34] * seidos doesn't have 9.10 installed [19:34] Jetsetlemming: yes [19:34] Hello - Audio has been working fine for 2 weeks, but now I get no volume when I playback PCM audio via SPDIF to my receiver [19:34] Released October (10) 2009 (09) :) [19:34] eix's second link shows as an "untrusted connection" [19:34] I'm not running pulseaudio [19:34] Jetsetlemming: add an exception [19:34] i'm using a dell miniv (with whatever ubuntu customization comes on it). I have a program i wrote that I can successfully invoke on the command line, but if i add it as a "file" on the shortcut grid, it doesn't start. another option is to add an "application", but I"m not sure how to get my program on there. any ideas? does this make sense? [19:35] Jetsetlemming: or better use: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24789 [19:35] Litterally seems to have just stopped working [19:35] gon3dion: http://www.subnet-calculator.com/ [19:35] Schattenwache: what do you mean by hidden? [19:35] has the bits listed on the calculator [19:35] "bugs.freedesktop.org uses an invalid security certificate." I find funny, for some reason. [19:35] does anybody know how to surely blacklist the modem modules? [19:35] Like, the bug site has a bug [19:35] gon3dion: 32 - 14 = 18 for IPv4 addresses. [19:35] if I could just get 9.04 or 9.10 to run as good as 8.04 or 8.10 I would be really happy [19:35] saliak : maybe add execution right to that file? e.g. : chmod +x [19:35] Jetsetlemming: focus on your problem, you'll fix it quicker === chaky_ is now known as chaky [19:35] can anyone reccomend a good capture card with hdmi, component, composite and coaxial inputs that works well with ubuntu. please pm me [19:36] Jetsetlemming: wellthen, report it ;) [19:36] furuno: ah, good idea [19:36] woodyjlw: I have already collected negative feedback from some of my friends :( [19:36] eix: I don't see that site as having a workaround, or a patch for that sake? [19:36] hello, which package does gnome-shell replace? [19:36] MenZa: nope. I could use my desktop my installing the old packages (!) [19:36] *by [19:36] I'll once more before I leave, if anyone knows and has experience with any programs like f-spot that support displaying by based on location (for photos that are geotagged), please let me know. I've tried picasa . thanks [19:36] Each release of Ubuntu for the last 2 or 3 releases has seemed to get successively worse. [19:36] whats the command to probe for ati radeon drivers? :) [19:37] I'd like to try gnome-shell permanent, how can I do that? [19:37] for developers!!! give spanish language for lotus symphony !!!! pleeeeeeease !!!! [19:37] dustin2000: lspci [19:37] eix: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/447892 <- This is probably a better link; it's not upstream, but... [19:37] Maybe I can switch back to Debian somehow. [19:37] Ok, I've read the info. That original link says "PATCH" at the top but I don't see a link to one? Am I supposed to paste that code into somewhere? [19:37] thaks [19:37] catamarquence: Erm, you probably want IBM for that. [19:37] MenZa: yes I agree [19:37] thanks eix [19:37] furuno: nope, doesn't fix it [19:37] dajhorn: thnx [19:37] furuno: already +x [19:37] dustin2000 : or fglrxinfo [19:37] Jetsetlemming: try MenZa's link [19:37] eix: I have tried both 9.10 and 9.04 and had lots of trouble but I am only still leaning linux and maybe I just am not smart enough yet to fix the problems I had [19:37] geekbuntu: thnx [19:37] gracias [19:37] saliak : what program btw? can you give more info? === cp is now known as Guest77578 [19:37] eix: I see the 'debate' has been moved to upstream, but this has more information. [19:38] MenZa: the packages are there but language aint !! imb has them but ubuntu port symphony to the repositories but not the translations [19:38] * seidos is considering working on compiling firefox for his cpu [19:38] woodyjlw : 9.04 is more stable for by the way... [19:38] hi, i am trying to do a reinstall of karmic, i have a dual boot situation and am confused as to what to choose in the 'prepare partitions' menu [19:38] adyjb10 : depends on what you want :) [19:38] Is it possible to change the location of notifications? [19:38] catamarquence: Translate it, then. [19:38] furuno: i wrote a GUI for some hardware we've developed. at the command line i can invoke it and it works fine [19:38] the same dual boot situation as before [19:39] saliak : in what language? [19:39] Hi... how can I run applications that don't fit on the 1024x600 resolution on a device with 1024x600 resolution? [19:39] for some reason, however, when i put that shortcut in, it doesn't work [19:39] In terminal for ati radeon drivers will this command work? The program 'fglrxinfo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [19:39] sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [19:39] eix: my biggest problems in 9.04 is video driver for ati 200m and wifi was not near as strong for some reason [19:39] Is there a way to access remote desktop if the machine to be accessed is behind a non access firewall? [19:39] furuno: no error message or anything [19:39] chazco: Honestly? You can't. Some software authors are idiots, and write un-scalable windows. [19:39] hello dudes, this is me again lol, which package do i need to format a hard disk in ntfs with gparted? i have ntfs-3g [19:39] hmm.. no virtual panning or anything? [19:39] Which is the best program for CD/DVD burning? [19:39] I'm resizing partitions from gparted from the livecd, it won't let me do something stupid like resize an ntfs partition to the stage where it can't boot due to lack of free space, right? :P [19:40] !best | Delano [19:40] Delano: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:40] The descriptions of things in those links is a couple notches above my head, technically. I'm still not sure if there's a hotfix/patch/method to avoid it yet [19:40] saliak : maybe you need to add the "full" command to the shortcut, e.g. java -jar myprogram.jar [19:40] Jetsetlemming: It doesn't look like it, no. [19:40] Crap. [19:40] MenZa: i guess u dont get it... ibm has on their web, hardy packages, not karmic, si karmic developers port symphony... now they olny ported the main package, not the langauges... im sure they know how to make them installable on karmic... since u cant install hardys on karmic ive tried... [19:40] firefox sourcecode 45MB binary is 9MB? [19:40] furuno: and 9.04 and 9.10 have problems with suspend not working at all but is mostly to do with the onboard ati soom chipset [19:40] So I just have to wait for Ubuntu 9.11? [19:40] Jetsetlemming: I'm still looking around a bit. [19:40] Delano : I like brasero pretty much [19:40] Jetsetlemming: Well, the next version is 10.04. But no, packages are updated all the time. [19:40] sorry Im a linux noob-ish guy will this corrupt x? "The program 'fglrxinfo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [19:40] sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [19:40] " [19:40] 200m chipset [19:40] Jetsetlemming : you mean, 10.04 [19:41] whats the command to cut and paste in terminal [19:41] furuno: that's what is in there now.. /home/xitome/RSD/RSD [19:41] dustin2000 : nope, you just need to install ATI Driver [19:41] furuno, gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is the newest version, so how do i make firefox start divx vids with gstreamer? [19:41] Jetsetlemming: what's wrong? :f [19:41] do i have to change that in the settings manually? [19:41] dmesg gives me bluetooth output, but the bleutooth app in preferences says there is no bluetooth adapter. ANyone an idea? [19:41] How do you make a new user for SFTP access in ubuntu server via SSH? [19:41] my 8.04 cd is screwed. I booted from it today, but when I try to run Live, or check the disk for errors, the hard drive light turns on and just sits there [19:41] Is there a way to access remote desktop if the machine to be accessed is behind a non access firewall? [19:41] Anyone know what the difference between this easypeasy business is and Ubuntu's netbook remix? [19:41] saliak : what language is that program? C/Java/Ruby? [19:41] odd... my shift and caps lock keys just quit working [19:41] Thanks furuno [19:41] I have a pair of headphones plugged into the same soundcard as my speakers (an Audigy 2), and pulseaudio's volume controls only display a setting for my speakers, and don't seem to recognize the headphones at all. My headphones are not getting any sound (which they were before Jaunty -> Karmic) [19:41] Jetsetlemming: What bugs me is that it's still unassigned, and importance is still 'undecided'. This is fairly serious. [19:41] I love the look and feel of 9.10 and would install again right now if I could fix suspend mode [19:41] Dravekx: 1) Create a user, b) SFTP in. [19:42] Evito, Shift+Ctrl+C, Shift+Ctrl+V [19:42] gon3dion: np [19:42] So, when there's a fix available for the intel crash thing, will that be automatically detected as an available update? Or since it's specific to a certain graphics card I'd have to go seek it out [19:42] Delano, i like k3b and brasero [19:42] furuno: ah, got it (sorta). need to add it as a file, then change it to an "application" [19:42] I dislike the look and feel of 9.10 as well, but I can configure that, so I'm not going to complain ;) [19:42] Jetsetlemming: It should update automatically. [19:42] but it doesn't run in the program directory [19:42] Ok, that's good, at least. [19:42] saliak : if it's a shell script, then you'll need to add "sh" in front of it : e.g. "sh /path/to/my/program/myprogram" [19:42] what's wrong with the look and feel of 9.10? [19:42] Jetsetlemming: I've marked the bug as 'Confirmed' on Launchpad now. [19:42] I need something that will scale my cpu speed to different settings when plugged in to AC, and when on battery. Does 9.10 do this for me? [19:43] Samba Environment. I have set acl restcitions on a directory and I want to FORCE all sub folders and files present and future created to be inherit the acl settings of the initial parent directory I have set. Anyone know how to do that? [19:43] furuno: it's not, it's a compiled executable [19:43] Also, at least it doesn't hit me nearly as fast as the guys reporting it in those links, they're having it go as soon as they login, I was in ubuntu for a few hours with no problems before it froze. [19:43] I just preferred how 9.04 looked. [19:43] denisk : with the applet for the gnome-panel, it can to that [19:43] no bluetooth adapter is found, however dmesg has bluetooth output..? [19:43] furuno: how do you make sure it's run from it's directory? [19:43] is it anything like Karmic UNR? I thought Karmic UNR looked pretty clean [19:43] Is there a way to invert the screen colors without useing compiz? Compiz breaks netbeans display. [19:43] i'm having problems with my apt-get update... it failed and i don't know how to "clear". i can't connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com or any other server. i'm running 8.04.3. i do have an internet connection on the box. thx [19:43] furuno: i have some xpms that are images on buttons, spash screen, etc. they're not loading since it's running from some random directory [19:43] ? [19:44] anyone else having problems connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com? [19:44] saliak : depends on the source code I suppose, what language it is? [19:44] Does 9.10 scale my cpu automatically? [19:44] denisk : yes [19:44] denisk: should do [19:44] The dark blue window titlebars are not appealing, and I don't like the default border or widget themes. [19:44] Jetsetlemming: It looks like you just have pretty unfortunate hardware :\ [19:44] how about when running on battery and AC power? [19:44] I'm trying to get my AG neovo screen working as an external screen with resolution of 1280x1024 on my hp-laptop with nvidia geforce 8400... nvidia-settings doesn't show any resolution with a height of more than 800 pixels... [19:44] I knew that even when I was back in windows. === root is now known as Guest12281 [19:44] Low FPS in Half-life!

[19:45] So, I guess there's nothing left to be done about that. Is it ok if I ask about something else? [19:45] Jetsetlemming: have you consulted the appdb for settings? [19:45] furuno: c++. this seems like a windowing system setup to me.. like in windws you specify which directory the application lauches in [19:45] anyone here familier with kvm? or can recommend an alternate channel (other than ubuntu-virt) [19:45] Jetsetlemming: Do go on - anything regarding Ubuntu support is welcome here. [19:45] hey... [19:45] My keyboard's media keys don't work by default. [19:45] Aha! [19:45] how can i deal with this error when i connect to my remote Error while getting peer-to-peer dbus connection: The name :1.184 was not provided by any .service files [19:45] Is there something I can install to get those detected?

[19:46] furuno: does 9.10 scale differently (performance) during AC than when I run off battery (conservative)? [19:46] i believe this is a hardware issue, but i could be mistaken [19:46] Jetsetlemming: At least, that's how I got my G15's media keys to work. [19:46] denisk : you can set that in many way [19:46] !gnochm [19:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnochm [19:46] Evito, the command to copy a file is "cp sourceFile destinationDir" and to move the file is "mv sourceFile destinationDir" [19:46] The hotkey for launching calculator works by default, oddly enough.

I can figure out the rest myself [19:46] im running ubuntu 9.10 on a compaq presario v2570ca. The problem im having is with the touchpad. With battery only, touch pad works.

How come I can't do anything with it in terminal? [19:50] ok guys so then, I have someone i need to help in a remote location, this person has ubuntu 9.10 but has no access to the firewall, so then there is no way that i can help if there is no way to configure the remote firewall?

I'm trying to recover a LUKS partition [19:51] ActionParsnip, could it be a hardware issue. It seems like there is a capacitance build up with AC connected, and my other hand is providing a discharge path [19:51] vr_mex: no, the hardware is stopping you [19:51] F4wltytowers: have you tryed the configuration app in system -> settings -> hotkeys? [19:51] enrico_: possibly, you should see if there are guides for your mnake / model [19:51] Ok then she will need to get access to the firewall and enable fort forwarding, right?

[20:44] during the day my mediapc (running karmic) had put the monitor on suspend, but it did not wake up on keypress, switched sources DVI->VGA-DVI but it still went to suspend, ctrl-alt-f1 did not do anything, the box was fully functional otherwise, i logged in and found nothing interesting from logs, restarting gdm woke the monitor up -- now im wondering should i file a bug and if i should, against what package? [20:44] Cale: sorry then no idea... [20:44] Pici Theres more but this gives you idea. Another one: Panel encounters problem loading.

[20:45] Furuno, yes [20:45] Cale: no, but I can tell you an alternative that I much prefer: setup some nice keybindings (I use shift+f1 and shift+f2 for volume up/down and shift+f3 for mute) [20:45] Phoenix2072: ok seems that you might be running a gfx, try intalling emerald and then using emerald --replace, the emerald window decorator is better than compiz anyways [20:45] Furuno, any window I open is spawned maximized [20:45] we cant use xscreensaver with compiz??? [20:46] heh. I spotted that one after a long stop at screensave at the log in prompt for a kubuntu [20:46] Phoenix2072, can you give me a screenshot for your Window Decoration plugin settings? [20:46] Pici ok sorry just read your text about pastebin [20:46] furuno: maybe he should use emerald..thats better [20:46] Phoenix2072, or maybe there's a wrong settings in the WIndows Rules plugin [20:47] furuno : or try pronoy suggestions :) [20:47] I suppose that might be an idea, if I can get it to work separately. I'll still miss having notification about my volume settings in the panel though. I don't see why they had to go and mess with this. :/ [20:47] what is the best chat messenger that you can use webcam? [20:47] pronoy: emerald is the decorator, compiz is the window manager - they work together... [20:47] hey everyone...is there a way to change ntfs permissions in ubuntu?

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [20:47] ChrisiPK: change its mount options [20:47] mbeierl: emerald i think has a window decorator plugin, i was suggesting using emerald as the window decorator [20:48] !emerald [20:48] erUSUL, no, i want the permissions to be changed on the device itself, not only for my current sessions [20:48] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives.

(I know I can make graphs in OO.o, but I heard about specialized software and I can't remember name) [21:49] hey guys, how can i run the normal update manager from the command line? [21:50] like over ssh or something [21:50] no [21:50] why sun doesnt gets removed completly? [21:50] How is Koala working out for people on chan? [21:50] mib_mib: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [21:50] zulfi: ok [21:50] jcdutton, Yea, his /home dir exists and he owns it [21:51] majuk, did /var/log/auth.log give anything useful? [21:51] majuk, do any other users work ? [21:51] jcdutton, Nope, only shows the two bad protocol logins from trying to use telnet [21:52] Zee: double click the file and extract it then you're going to need to read the !compile factoid. [21:52] jcdutton, This is the only user on the system thus far. I only just started to get this humming. :-\ [21:52] majuk, which auth type are you using for ssh ? [21:52] bobbyd: thanks for the help ill have a look other day, i just cant afford losing more time on this. much appreciated ;) [21:53] mib_mib: no reason why not. sudo /usr/bin/update-manager [21:53] jcdutton, ....not sure what you mean. It's using RSA keys... [21:53] Is there any way i can see how much memory my graphic card uses? [21:53] jcdutton, But local logins for this user don't work either [21:53] is there some strange firewall in ubuntu that could be the bad guy preventing outbound connections? [21:53] i'm trying to configure X to receive connections on some port, anyone with a fast solution? [21:53] I haven [21:53] eloo [21:54] majuk, Try manually adding a new user, and try that [21:54] Ack! The Karmic upgrade killed my Japanese input support and replaced it with Russian! [21:54] 't configured any firewall, it's almost a fresh install, just a couple of weeks old. and it worked before, have been using the box as a htpc so im not sure when it stopped working [21:54] It managed to completely uninstall scim-anthy... oh well, guess I'll put that back. [21:55] Hi all [21:55] jcdutton, Yea, I just did, and when I tried to set its password (passwd $USER) it just kicked me down to the next prompt. [21:55] hi all, does the text mode install allow for resizing a windows partition easily? trying to guide someone over the phone [21:55] bastidrazor: whats the !compile factoid? [21:55] !compile > Zee [21:55] Zee, please see my private message [21:55] n #linuxhelp [21:55] I wonder if I install Sanscrit whether I'll get my Japanese support back ;) [21:56] majuk, ok, this is not an ssh problem at all. it is an auth problem. [21:56] when im moving over some links the curser blinks between text and link mode - - whhhhyyyyyyyy???????? [21:56] jcdutton, Yea [21:56] so... flash sometimes stops outputting sound for seemingly no reason. i can play some youtube videos and it works fine, then come back later after doing other stuff and every once in a while flash doesn't output any sound any more. this is a fresh install btw [21:56] bastidrazor: how do i compile? [21:56] I was attempting to switch windows in irssi using Alt + Number and I must have hit a different key combination, because now my desktop is magnifed several times and the magnification follows my mouse around. Does anyone know what key combination (besides Ctrl + Alt + Backspace) that will set things back to normal? [21:57] Hello again, I hope this is an easy question to answer. Im trying to add "export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true" to a custom launcher for xbmc but have yet to find a way to do it. The gksudo works but i lose permission to my files. Anyone know where this .profiles is or what i need to edit? [21:57] Zee: that factoid tells you how. follow the link [21:57] kahen: have that to sometimes, restarting FF should worl [21:57] work* [21:58] Zee: also read the README file in the tar.gz you untar'ed just now [21:58] majuk, what is the "passwd -S" for that user. "passwd -Sa" might also help find it [21:58] MaT-dg: yeah well... i figured that out too. but that's just effing pathetic [21:59] NEVER had this problem with jaunty. and i was running PA then too [21:59] Hello everybody [21:59] I have a question about C on ubuntu, should I go to the C channel? [21:59] kahen: probably bug in flashplugin, nothing ubuntu can do about it [21:59] it's an easy one. I include stdlib.h but can't find atoi, atol , itoa ... [22:00] jcdutton, $USER P 10/29/2009 0 99999 7 -1 [22:00] majuk, that looks good [22:00] Hello all. I want a free dynamic ssh server to bypass filtering. Even I can't connect to launchpad. I'm using ubuntu karmic. somebody help me [22:00] i want som help with my ubuntu's upgrade.... the programs are closing during execution.... [22:01] jcdutton, I su'd to the user from root and tried to change the password with 'passwd', it asked me for the current PW which I typed in and then it just kicked me down to a new prompt. Didn't ask me for the new password [22:01] I seriously borked something here. :( [22:01] Hey [22:01] and windows too [22:01] majuk, anything in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages ? [22:02] majuk, looks to me that pam is upset [22:02] kahen: If I leave a webpage with flashcontent open for a while the plugin just crashes and shows a gray area almost every time. Again, it's the plugins fault. That's why most of us aren't happy with closed-source flash(plugin) [22:02] In ubuntu 8.04, everytime the screensaver starts or stops it sends a message to D-Bus... why in 9.10 it does not? I was usefull to me, to do some stuff =/ [22:02] I NEAD [22:02] :D [22:03] can someone read me? [22:03] majuk, does rool login work ? [22:03] majuk, root [22:03] Hi, I have a fresh & clean Karmic install and a variety of apps just keep locking up every now and then. No response to Ctrl+C. "ps" is one of those. What can I do? [22:03] jcdutton, Root login works from the recovery console, that's where I am now === MoPshower is now known as MasterofPuppets [22:03] !amd64 [22:04] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [22:04] anyone? [22:04] majuk, does /etc/nologin exist [22:04] jcdutton, Negative [22:04] Where's the best place to discuss adding a package (well, 32-bit compatibility package for arch amd64)? [22:05] majuk, I have to go now, sorry I could not fix it. I suspect /etc/pam.d config of a current lib somewhere [22:05] s/of/or [22:05] jcdutton, Thanks for the hand, I'll look around and see what I can find [22:05] can someone read my bytes? [22:05] I'm sending bytes [22:05] right here [22:06] arent most packages just for 32bit though? [22:06] pompato: I can :) [22:06] I was attempting to switch windows in irssi (Ubuntu 8.10, gnome) using Alt + Number and I must have hit a different key combination, because now my desktop is magnifed several times and the magnification follows my mouse around. Does anyone know what key combination (besides Ctrl + Alt + Backspace) that will set things back to normal? [22:06] admiral did you read my question? [22:06] Does anyone know how to use keychain? [22:06] pompato: which one? [22:06] Priswell you can switch windows in irssi with ctrl+n and /window # [22:07] im trying to install this driver tar zxvf ./5.74.33.85a-44597.tar.gz but it says no such directory [22:07] infid: don't have problems with 64bit packages.. [22:07] hello everyone; is there a folder where I can store custom icons? like if I have an app / filetype and I want a specific icon for that? I can put it in the icon theme of course, but when I switch themes it's gone [22:07] adminal Im including stdlib.h but cant get atoi [22:07] Basically, I have it started, sees both my keys, finds ssh-agent, but doesn't seem to be using them when I ssh to a server. [22:07] adminal [22:07] admiral [22:07] infid: Yes I can switch windows that way. [22:07] hello [22:07] heh showing off this laptop at work :) [22:08] hi [22:08] how do you install the man pages for the C standard library [22:08] infid: It's just that everything is hugely magnified, and the focus follows the mouse. [22:08] pompato, hm I don't know either because I'm just another user in need of help, and part of my problem is that, among others, firefox keeps locking up so I can't look it up :) [22:08] Priswell: window key + 1 ?? [22:08] but I'll be sure to tell you when I find it [22:09] I am having problems with 9.10 I have just noticed I have no sound [22:09] SOLVED :D [22:09] Ah! That worked! Things look a little smaller than normal, but maybe that's because I've been "living large" for so long. [22:09] jac0b, just for my own info - did you upgrade your system to 9.10, or fresh install? === Sememmon_ is now known as Sememmon [22:10] Thank you, infid [22:10] fresh install [22:10] I have the ALC889A [22:10] jac0b, that's kinda unusual then - typically it seem people who upgrade have that same issue with 9.10. [22:10] jac0b: have a look at http://drowninginbugs.blogspot.com/2009/10/caveats-for-audio-in-910.html and http://unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/525-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu910-karmic-koala [22:10] hello all. how can i configure kubuntu so it uses V4L instead of V4L2? i have an application that wont let me use v4l2, only v4l. thank u [22:11] Hello all. I just installed Karmic via USB but the system only boots into Memtest86. Any idea what happened? [22:11] hey guys does anyone know the command to reset the resolution? my screen switched to 800x600 and i can only see part at a time [22:11] i shud add themenus arent working either [22:11] pompato: The atoi function has been deprecated by strtol and should not be used in new code [22:11] my intel 3945 wifi stopped working, It shows up in lshw but not in ifconfig or iwconfig [22:11] ZykoticK9: that is the "grub fails to use the new kernel issue" Which only seems to be one part of the whole karmic sound kafuffle [22:12] pompato: http://www.codecogs.com/reference/c/stdlib.h/atoi.php [22:12] ZykoticK9: Is there a bug report you can point me to? [22:13] arand, thanks. i've just noticed the constant stream of people with sound problems after upgrading (i fresh installed and had zero hardware issues with karmic). [22:13] Which is faster and which has better codec support from vanilla? mplayer or VLC? [22:13] *gnome-mplayer, that is. [22:13] ZykoticK9: Sorry, please disregard that. [22:13] corinth: try both and use what you like. They're pretty comparable [22:13] anyone have wifi issues after the upgrade that came out today? [22:14] is there a terminal command that is equivelant to ctrl+alt+bckspce [22:14] hello [22:14] wrektjet: sudo service gdm restart [22:14] Pretty comparable as far as codec support goes, too, jrib ? [22:14] aendruk, if i knew of one i would have certainly forwarding the info to you :) [22:14] im new [22:14] corinth: yeah [22:14] Thanks, jrib .

It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ === PZ is now known as PreZ [22:15] corinth: people has many definitions for ugly [22:15] s0ber_, I would stay away from gnash [22:15] [corinth]: try xmms === edd_vrs is now known as eddvrs [22:15] Beta software? You mean the official FLASH player isn't Beta software? [22:16] s0ber_, it eats up your CPU time even while idling. === eddvrs is now known as edd_vrs [22:16] its like the old winamp [22:16] erUSUL, of course, but "pretty" is pretty universal in software, usually. :-P [22:16] !player | corinth [22:16] corinth: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

[22:17] ? [22:17] what is the most recent kernal, I need to reinstall it, my wifi broke [22:17] does anyknow know how to configure kubuntu 9.10 to use v4l instead of v4l2? links to howtos are much appreciated [22:17] Another attempt: Hi, I have a fresh & clean Karmic install and a variety of apps just keep locking up when I do specific totally unrelated things. No response to Ctrl+C. "ps" is one of those. What can I do? [22:17] is anybody able to help me just quickly? i was wondering if i could access my files from windows if i chose the "install inside windows" option on the ubuntu cd? [22:17] admiral: can you run top? [22:17] corinth, i notice moc isn't in the !player list - it's an ncurses (text) audio player, is that ugly? joking of course ;) [22:18] hello [22:18] hi i updated my kernel and ran update-initramfs now i get busybox at boot with: /bin/sh: cant access tty:job control turned off. after i type in dmraid -ay it boots fine. how can i fix this? [22:18] zedster, yes [22:18] aaaronlucas: yes, you might have to use a 3rd program that lets you see ext partitions from windows [22:18] but I don't really know how to use it :) [22:18] I've noticed that the ubuntu notify osd sometimes is not working...at least when using emesene...don't relly know who to blame there [22:18] but my question is, how can I restart the notify service? [22:18] admiral: run it and make sure some rouge process is not eating the ram [22:19] zedster: the linux-generic package always depend on the latest one [22:19] zedster: thanks very much mate! [22:19] i kno this isnt a "ubuntu" problem but does anyone know where i can get more cairo dock themes [22:19] anyone using vdpau ??? [22:19] my computer is locking when i install ubuntu 9.10, before the instalation even begins... is there a safe mode? [22:19] why would "ls -la /path/" not show results shown in "locate xyz.tmp" [22:19] arand: if I reinistall that I won't kill anything right? [22:19] preecher: Google [22:19] preecher: there is a #cairo-dock channel [22:20] zedster, I've made ps lock up and now the process that is using the most memory is Xorg. [22:20] at 1.5% [22:20] ran updatedb and its good now. [22:20] zedster: I have not dablled in that much, but afaik, in theory it should be safe. [22:20] crlsgms: do you have a gforce chipset motherboard? [22:21] Hello! How can i displace my emails from evolution to thunderbird? [22:21] yes === edd_vrs is now known as eddvrs [22:21] now im checking the cd integrity, but i just burned.. i think its fine. im with 9.10 desktop [22:21] crlsgms: when you boot the live cd does it display the first screen? before going to the live ubuntu environment? [22:21] well, i just tryed to install. [22:22] no errors found, ill try to boot on the live cd [22:22] DuffDave, not sure what you mean by "displace", but if you have a gmail account - setup IMAP, copy your emails to your IMAP account then you can get them from inside thunderbird and copy them locally if you desire. best of luck. [22:22] crlsgms: on that first screen you should be able to hit F6 and get some options.. you might need to edit the "kernel" line by adding "pci=nomsi" at the end of the line before "quiet splash".. that might fix it.. [22:23] oh, thanks [22:23] thank you very much! but how do I do this with an POP account ? [22:23] if I setup an account for jabber in pidgin, will it notify me of emails, or does jabber not support emailing? [22:23] crlsgms: this happens because of an irq sharing conflict.. that is if pci=nomsi is the fix.. [22:23] im trying to live boot now, i see the icon, the cd is running.... but it will lock again [22:23] does somebody got the wiimote with IR working in Karmic, i can see the IR in wmgui, but not working with wminput -c ir_ptr. [22:23] DuffDave, you can't use POP, as POP will download the messages off the server! [22:24] my wifi card shows up as unclaimed [22:24] and... locked :) [22:24] ill try the command [22:24] how do I claim it [22:24] ronnie_vd_c: Uh, why? [22:24] has anyone had any success getting the newer motorola phones to connect as modems and/or usb flash drives? Moto4lin was not working for me [22:24] hi, can someone help me with this rt61pci error http://pastebin.com/m7cbc7839 ? [22:24] crlsgms: once you add that bit to the kernel line just hit enter and it will continue booting into the live cd environment [22:25] I have downloaded these messages in evolution and want to put them in Thunderbird [22:25] anyone else has a intel3945? [22:25] okay, another problem. SCIM no longer appears to be working. "Upgrading" from Jaunty to Karmic resulted in my Japanese language support apparently being replaced with support for Russian input, and scim-anthy being removed. I reinstalled scim-anthy and I have scim set as my input method in the Language Support dialog, but it doesn't seem to be starting up... [22:25] xrdodrx: there are no howto's for karmic, follow the howto for 8.10, but now mousing with IR is not working [22:26] Cale: doesn't ibus do that now? [22:26] DuffDave, don't know if this works - never done it but check out http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-import-your-mails-from-evolution-to-thunderbird.html [22:26] !anyone | zedster [22:26] zedster: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [22:27] Scunizi, when i hit f6 i got a box with some inputs, no where to write [22:27] ronnie_vd_c: No, I was curious as to what good a wiimote would be [22:27] zedster: Hmm, I'll try switching to that. [22:27] xrdodrx: it worked for me in 9.04 [22:27] uh just found it :) [22:27] sorru Scunizi [22:27] sorry [22:27] Cale: its in system pref should be there, look at the 2nd tab [22:28] xrdodrx: i sometimes attach my laptop to the tv. with the wiimote i can mouse and do all stuff [22:28] answer to my above question with try and error: icons for mimetypes / apps that aren't served in your icon theme go to /usr/share/pixmaps; ~/.local/share/pixmaps doesn't seem to work [22:29] do anyone note that open office tends to break down. [22:29] ktzkk: no.. what do you mean "break down" ? [22:29] ronnie_vd_c: Thats very interesting...I kind of want to try it now ;) [22:29] ktzkk: I've had no problems with it for a while, check the build-dep [22:30] zedster: ありがとう [22:30] ?? [22:30] thanks :) [22:30] xrdodrx: worked great :D [22:30] lol [22:30] oh when i do something else ,it automatically quit . [22:30] xrdodrx: now i can still work with acceleration, but is less intinuitive [22:31] Scunizi, freezed again.. didnt worked... ill get more details on the machine [22:31] ktzkk: see if java is turned on in the OOo options.. if it is turn it off... if it isn't turn it on.. [22:31] ktzkk: did you check the build-dep? [22:31] no === maxime_ is now known as kripy [22:31] zedster: what is the build-dep and where do you check it? [22:32] What is initrd and how can I change it? [22:32] Scunizi: sudo apt-get build-dep package xyz [22:32] Scunizi: it makes sure you have the dependencies met [22:32] in Koala, I get a message that it is too big when I reboot it after installation [22:32] zedster: hum.. never used that in 5 years.. must be lucky [22:33] hey , can i jump in real fast and ask a question? [22:33] u just did [22:33] loll [22:33] jump fast.. there's 1200+ people here. [22:33] sure did [22:33] hi! Someone knows azureus here? [22:33] sburwood, init was replaced with something called upstart in karmic [22:33] Ph3nix: the client? [22:33] y [22:33] e83__: Just ask, don't ask to ask [22:33] Scunizi, its a pentium 4 2.53, 512ram vga offboard nvidia mx550 [22:34] Ph3nix: what about it? [22:34] anybody could help me with this: [22:34] now im trying with the F4 options, safe mode [22:34] BScreen::BScreen: an error occured while querying the X server. [22:34] another window manager already running on display:0.0 [22:34] Error: Couldn't find screens to manage. [22:34] !info azureus [22:34] Make sure you don't have another window manager running. [22:34] zedster: i don't know how dl music.. [22:34] xdoe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:34] Zykotic, how do I get Karmic to function, then? I don't know what to do with initrd and how to get it to work [22:34] Ph3nix: I cannot help with that and no one in here can, look else where [22:34] i want to stop the removal of a package from the command line, i tried sudo aptitude hold package but it still says its going to be removed [22:34] azureus (source: azureus): BitTorrent client. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.2.0.8-3ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 11912 kB, installed size 13348 kB [22:35] its a lgeal music of course.. [22:35] crlsgms: you might need to use the alternate install cd instead of the live cd.. you may have a mem. problem.. also once installed you'll want to load an older nvidia driver to make it work correctly. The older drivers are available in the repo's [22:35] hi, how do i change the program that a filetype opens with in ubuntu? [22:35] sad. ill download the alternate cd tomorrow [22:35] thanks anyway === root is now known as Guest75838 [22:35] Ph3nix: read the wiki page on torrenting or look at sites about bays that have that sort of information :-) [22:35] sburwood, sorry i reread you message - your having a boot issue! i thought you where trying to configure init in some way, sorry i have no hint what is wrong with your system currently! [22:35] crlsgms: np.. that can happen on older hardware === Guest75838 is now known as andrew44 [22:35] ok .. [22:35] thx [22:36] anyone here using encryptedfilesytem under Karmic? [22:36] Scunizi, do u suggest i get an older version of ubuntu? [22:36] no one on stop package removal? [22:36] i can't find anything in the administration menu about changing the preferred application? [22:36] but you understand the question [22:36] 9.10 fresh insall printing takes me 10+ minutes per page - can anybody help???? [22:36] boot issue ... help me, please with Karmic [22:36] crlsgms: you definately don't suffer from the problem needing the pci=nomsi issue.. and older version of ubuntu won't make much difference.. it's the install routine that may be needing extra ram to work [22:37] crlsgms: the alternate cd is not gui based.. it's text based.. but once installed you do have the gui [22:37] ncurses! [22:38] Any speculations on why /boot/vmlinuz is missing in my fresh installation of Karmic? [22:38] I still can't get my sound to work in 9.10 [22:38] Scunizi, just found a 9.04 xubuntu here, ill give a try [22:38] crlsgms: ok.. let me know [22:38] jac0b: What have you tried? [22:39] e/quit [22:39] Anyone have any ideas for troubleshooting authentication problems? [22:39] changing subjects, anyone have a good suggestion to make a web browsing quiosque using ubuntu? [22:39] aendruk, i have a /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic do you? [22:39] i can't check my build-dep out . is it right that i type sudo apt-get install build-dep [22:39] aendruk, I'm having boot issues with Karmic [22:40] I tried http://drowninginbugs.blogspot.com/2009/10/caveats-for-audio-in-910.html & http://unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/525-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu910-karmic-koala [22:40] no one using encrypted filesystems? I have setup cryptdisks but during the boot process it doesn't let me enter the passphrase, it just ocntinues to boot into X [22:40] ZykoticK9, Nope. And dpkg.log reports a successful installation of linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic. I'm confused. [22:40] i have tried changing the console line in the upstart script from owner to output but neither works [22:41] lol how come nobody wants to say anything about the slow printing? There's millions of unresolved forum posts about the issue [22:41] Zykotic just mentioned that something called initrd ... if I understood correctly, replaced vmlinuz [22:41] I have an other question: How use a torrent network (like eDonkey for exemple...) with my client torrent, azureus ? [22:41] sbine, Those are different things. [22:41] cyrus_mc: in 9.10 the encryption is "decrypted" when you enter your login info.. it's not a sector level encryption [22:41] maintaing Axiom is more work than I thought [22:41] sbine, Sorry, directed at sburwood [22:41] i am trying to have a bash script run every time i login to gnome. i put it in my user's startup applications under system/preferences but it doesnt run it when i log in. i can run it manually and it works fine [22:41] ok, sorry [22:41] aendruk, is this after a fresh install? [22:42] cyrus_mc: previous versions require a password/phrase on boot.. it doesn't anymore. [22:42] why was it working fine in 9.04 and not no sound [22:42] Is there an equivalent software to MS Exchange Server for Ubuntu? [22:42] spartan07: openexchange [22:42] Scunizi: ah, cryptsetup requires you to enter a password. Nothing is unlocked when I login using my username and password [22:42] HI, in Ubuntu Linux, how to convert DjVu file to PDF? thanks [22:42] hey eveyone: is there a way to powerdown an external usb harddrive? I can unmount it, but can I also power it down to stop the disks from spinning and lock the reading arm in place? [22:42] Scunizi, freezed too. ill wait for the alternate [22:42] Scunizi: I am using cryptdisks, maybe there is another procedure I should be following for 9.10 [22:42] thanks anyway! [22:43] aendruk, could you tell me how to install Karmic without the initrd problem? During installation, no problem. When I reboot after, it doesn't get past POST [22:43] ZykoticK9, It's a fresh install from a USB disk created by the USB Startup Disk Creator. A boot media check at USB boot prior to installation completed successfully. [22:43] sweet never heard of it but Im excited. thank you [22:43] cyrus_mc: when installing on 9.10 it typically has the option to setup encryption or not.. maybe you missed that.. I don't know how to do it after install. [22:43] Scunizi: the cryptdisks-enable upstart script prompts for a password, it just doesn't let you input it as it just continues on. Then if you do a ps -ef | grep crypt you see a proces running that is asking for the password [22:43] crlsgms: good luck [22:43] will i have to use pci=nomsi on the alternate too Scunizi ? [22:44] cyrus_mc: sorry I don't have the answer... Just regurgitating what I've read in the release notes.. [22:44] crlsgms: nope [22:44] any of the 1657 people here wanna help me? [22:44] let me ask this questino then, for upstart, if I modify a script in /etc/init, do I have to run any update job or is that change made once I modify that script [22:44] aendruk, and what output do you get when booting? what is the final error? any detail helpful. [22:44] sburwood: just ask a question [22:44] sburwood, I really don't know anything about the new initrd replacement yet, sorry. [22:45] Scunizi, I am having problems trying to install Karmic. I have 8.10 and it works well, but I want to use 9.10. I have tried to install 9.04, but it has a problem [22:46] on boot after installation of 9.04, I get what looks like a memory dump and nothing more [22:46] sburwood: beyond me.... sorry [22:46] ZykoticK9, There is no grub entry for the kernel; only Memtest86, so no error messages. I'm poking around the system drive from a live USB session now. [22:46] Daz u awake [22:47] preecher: ? [22:47] i need some advice [22:47] im using ubuntu 9.10, which created a dual OS when i installed in in windows. but when im in ubuntu, i cannot access the drive which contains my files in windows.. can anyone help me? [22:47] i went to cairo channel and someone gave me commands to get new cairo dock but it looks like they had me upgrade my ubuntu 9.10 again [22:48] !ntfs [22:48] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [22:48] aendruk, be sure to check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Automatic%20Entries [22:48] * DaZ doesn't use gnome.

[22:49] how can i restart rt61pci driver or module ? [22:49] sburwood: no [22:49] preecher: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8724 are the .debs .. install the dock then the plugins. [22:49] upd: modprobe [22:50] is there a wiz out there to help me? [22:50] !helpme | sburwood [22:50] sburwood: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [22:50] what's the correct way to tell devicekit-disks to (and I misquote) "stop touching my fricking removable disks"? [22:50] does the ubuntu-restricted-extas increase flash performance in any way? [22:50] ZykoticK9, Thanks, that's good to know. My guess is that update-grub isn't the problem here though, since there doesn't appear to even be a kernel for it to find. [22:50] someone give me a problem that can be solved within 10 minutes [22:50] does anyone know how to stop a package from being removed? [22:51] cwillu_clone: set them to mount in fstab? [22:51] e83__: install it? [22:51] sburwood: If you really are stuck and feel that we cant help, you can buy support from Canonica [22:51] frostburn: 2 + 2 [22:51] ubottu: thanks, i'll try that [22:51] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:51] jrib, what mathematical axioms [22:51] frostburn: zfc [22:51] How can I use the python bindings for opencv? I tried "from opencv import *" but that doesn't seem to work [22:51] test34: try #python [22:51] i have xserver-xorg-video-psb installed, it allows me to see my screen at the right resolution, everytimne i want to upgrade apt-get says it is to be removed [22:51] test34: #python [22:52] ok [22:52] so i want to set it never to be upgrade/removed and so on [22:52] zedster, non-starter, as I don't know the device name until I've already plugged it in, at which point devkit has grabbed it [22:52] How can I change the name of an external hard drive without reformatting it? [22:52] !label | crohakon [22:52] crohakon: To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive. [22:52] cwillu_clone: grab it as mounted it or just sees it? are we talking about a flash drive here? [22:52] Is there a way to run apt commands on a system from a live CD session? I'd like to try to reinstall a package on a system that won't currently boot. [22:53] any college students in here want to get back and microsoft msg me... [22:53] zedster, we're talking about a couple dozen flash drives that I need to put a very specific format on [22:53] zedster, one at a time of course :p [22:53] aendruk: chroot [22:53] jrib, and if it is eSATA? [22:53] crohakon: shouldn't matter [22:53] zedster, it mounts them; the nautilus setting doesn't seem to have any effect on devkit's behaviour [22:53] jrib, 4 [22:53] okay, thanks [22:53] how do i stop a package from being auto matically removed every update? [22:53] jrib, Will read up on it, thanks. [22:54] frostburn: what if we assume negation of axiom of choice? [22:54] e83__: e83__ in synaptic click the package then at the top look for Package>Lock version [22:54] cwillu_clone: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB [22:54] i update from command line and it still says to be removed [22:54] tried locking it, and aptitude hold [22:54] e83__: aptitude also has a way to hold a package [22:54] tried it' [22:54] anyone know how to change the screen resolution in ratpoison? when i use xrandr, it changes the resolution but ratpoison just lives in a corner of the screen that is the original width/height [22:54] aendruk, FYI missing kernel after 9.10 bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/474196 [22:55] jrib, that might take longer than 10 minutes, i haven't worked with set theory since i graduated =p [22:55] only hold im guessing for every update i want to set it so it never asks/demands [22:55] xrdodrx: thanks [22:55] ZykoticK9, Awesome. [22:56] aendruk, the post it stems from does sound kinda like the issue your having http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1847174.html [22:56] frostburn: :P [22:57] jrib, that does not seem to work. I unmounted the device but there is no option to change the label, just to format it. Oh well, no big deal I guess. [22:57] crohakon: what filesystem? [22:58] NTFS [22:58] crohakon: so the command line program "ntfslabel" did not work? [22:58] jrib, I also get this warning when looking at the drives information: "Unable to read the contents of this file system! Because of this some operations may be unavailable" [22:59] crohakon, i tried to rename NTFS drives for a long time - had to get a friend to rename them on their mac to get it to STAY. good luck. [22:59] zedster, it's dumb beyond words (I know, I just spent the last 30 seconds trying to describe it) that one needs a gconf setting to do that [22:59] but thanks :p [22:59] jrib, without the axiom of choice, you could have an infinite number of answers, no? [22:59] I need to know how to install EXT4 support on a 8.04 live CD so I can read whats on my EXT4 partition [22:59] tried netbook remix, now all my settings for appearance through Compiz do not work, can anyone help? [22:59] I think I am just going to move the files off it is and format the drive. [23:00] ldiamond1: you should be able to do that from apt-get during the live the session [23:00] zedster yea but what do I install? whats the package [23:00] frostburn: not really my area, but I'm pretty sure you don't need axiom of choice to define integers from sets and addition so that 2+2 still gives 4 [23:00] zedster, not ext4 support, he needs to build a kernel module [23:00] frostburn: we're getting really offtopic though :) [23:01] ldiamond1, you'd have to compile a new livecd with the kernel mod in choice, it's not a package. Can't use a live 9.10 cd? [23:01] ldiamond1, I think you'd have to install the kernel headers + build-essential, and then find a backported ext4 module for whatever kernel version the livecd uses, and then compile the module, and then insmod the module [23:01] jrib, pschaw, no we're not =P [23:01] ldiamond1, is there any reason why you can't just use a newer livecd? [23:01] zedster, ldiamond1 problem i see there is you'll need a reboot for the kernel to actually get the ext4 support i think... best of luck, wouldn't it be easier to just get a 9.10 live cd? [23:01] ZykoticK9, you could compile a module and insmod it, but it's still silly :p [23:02] my open office quited again ,what should i do? [23:02] trying to get my wifi working, it just cut out earlier, its an intel 3954, anyone know how I make sure my kernal has the iwlwifi driver ? [23:02] when wicd starts it asks for a password? It has not done that before.. I give it the password, and as far as I can tell nothing happens. Any clues? === Ajr|AFK is now known as Ajraddatz [23:03] * cwillu_clone puts wicd in the category of automatix-like things [23:03] zedster, "$ lsmod | grep iwl" gives me iwl3945 and iwlcore [23:04] Hmm, the ibus notification thingy disappeared after I restarted X. ibus is still apparently working, and all the keys work, but it gives me no notification about what's going on. [23:04] * cwillu_clone reboots, as devkit is really hung [23:04] cwillu_clone, I agree, but it seemed to be working fine up until this restart [23:04] I'm trying to create a RAID5 on the three identical disks of a "fake-raid" using "mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1" but I get "device or resource busy" for all disks. But they aren't even formated. I just partitioned them using fdisk to "linux raid auto". [23:04] zedster, Oh. 3954. I could just be experiencing a moment of dyslexia. [23:05] aendruk: its 3945 [23:06] nyk2005, i'd ask the same question in #ubuntu-server as well. good luck. [23:06] ZykoticK9: I think I found the answer in google already, just have to turn off the fake-raid stuff in BIOS. [23:07] nyk2005, good to know! thanks [23:08] ZykoticK9: haven't tried it, but this just seems to explain it well: http://www.righteoushack.net/?p=197 [23:08] ZykoticK9: I mean what also could it be.. [23:09] nyk2005, ? i don't play with raid much [23:09] ZykoticK9: only some bios thing dares to have a write lock on an unformated disk.. [23:09] what process is responsible for network connectivity? I pkilled nm-applet but I'm still connected to wifi [23:10] ZykoticK9: me neighter.. hardware raid "just work" without ever noticing it.. :) [23:10] nyk2005, the fakeraid on both my boards has thus far gone unused - gotta get some more sata drive ;) good luck man.

[23:33] hmm, copying, or moving? [23:33] evening ladies and gentlemen... [23:33] I was wondering if there is a way to add say an openbox/fluxbox right click menu in gnome as I don't like the default gnome menu? [23:33] And what file systems? [23:33] DanaG, moving, though now I wish I would have just copied... [23:33] VCoolio, seems like a good idea, but I will first try to do it in user-land with Xresources, seems like a clean solution [23:34] the firmware-iwlwifi package is dead, anyone know what replaced it [23:34] benwah: sure; also using aliases may be an option, but I don't know if alt+f2 reads .bashrc [23:34] Does anyone know how to get friggen metacity to not run and get xmonad to run at login instead? I've tried editing gconftool and adding a startup application which kills metacity and starts xmonad, it kills metacity but wont run xmonad, wtf [23:34] VCoolio, alt-f2 does not read aliases :-( [23:34] DanaG, I am missing all of my personal documents, all of my quickbooks data and records (that I must save for at least 4 more years) and much more... [23:35] What file systems were the external and internal drives? [23:35] Both NTFS [23:35] Hmm, that should be easier, then. [23:35] Flannel, ZykoticK9, cwillu_clone, thanks. [23:35] DanaG, oh? [23:36] Install testdisk, cd to some place safe that's not on either drive, and then use testdisk to look at that partition. [23:36] It has even recovered from a quick-format, for me. [23:36] The internal hard drive is not my boot drive... [23:36] Does anyone know how to get friggen metacity to not run and get xmonad to run at login instead? I've tried editing gconftool and adding a startup application which kills metacity and starts xmonad, it kills metacity but wont run xmonad, wtf? [23:37] DanaG, where do I get testdisk? [23:37] It's in the repos. [23:37] I just searched, it did not come up [23:37] weird. [23:37] !info testdisk [23:37] testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.11-1 (karmic), package size 1510 kB, installed size 4672 kB [23:37] DanaG, was able to get it with apt-get, nvm [23:38] we have company, be back in a bit [23:38] It even has an "undelete" function. [23:38] Does anyone know how to get friggen metacity to not run and get xmonad to run at login instead? I've tried editing gconftool and adding a startup application which kills metacity and starts xmonad, it kills metacity but wont run xmonad, wtf? [23:39] hey any ruby programmers here? [23:39] where can i change the folder my desktop uses? managed to mess it up :) [23:39] i dabble banister` [23:39] DanaG, know where I can get a guide to this program? [23:39] qed: cool, can i get you to test a gem? (i just want to know if it cmpiles) [23:39] why couldnt you test it? [23:40] http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [23:40] when in irssi / byobu I often can't use notify-send; I get "libnotify-Message: Unable to get session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-r6epotofMJ: Connection refused" any ideas on this? Sometimes it does work though... [23:40] anyone know why i can't connect with putty ssh client? [23:40] Site seems to be a bit slow. [23:40] coastal_, more details === john is now known as FewClues === rdfdas is now known as Brenden`` [23:40] qed: because i want to ensure it's not just running on my system due to some fluke of my setup [23:40] "For a maximum of security, TestDisk doesn't try to unerase files but lets you copy the deleted files you want to recover on another partition or disk. Be careful, do not write anything on the filesystem that was holding the data, writing new files may overwrite the files you want to recover. " [23:40] how come whenever i open irssi and i close the terminal screen and re-open and it still exist as a process running in the background? [23:40] crohakon, i can't even connect to my ip [23:40] banister`: package it up and wait for bug reportsd [23:40] qed: sudo aptitude install libdevil1c2 libdevil-dev && sudo gem install devil [23:40] reports [23:40] lol [23:41] how can i switch to that process again? [23:41] hehe [23:41] where can i change the folder my desktop uses? managed to mess it up :) [23:41] coastal_, are you trying to connect to a server outside your local network or trying to connect to a server you have set up in your home? [23:41] both [23:41] Does anyone know how to get friggen metacity to not run and get xmonad to run at login instead? I've tried editing gconftool and adding a startup application which kills metacity and starts xmonad, it kills metacity but wont run xmonad, wtf? [23:42] crohakon both [23:42] Evito: ~/Desktop .. or /home/yourusername/Desktop both are the same location [23:42] To the one who suggested I use .Xresources instead of .Xdefaults : Thanks! It is working! [23:42] anyone know how to jump to a certain PID running in the background in the terminal? [23:42] coastal_, what error are you getting? [23:43] anyone in the denver area gonig to the ubuntu release party @ hanson's? [23:43] does anyone else not see the point of xchat-gnome? [23:43] qed: I found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975329 but it is for Intrepid, so may not work anymore [23:43] trism: it doesnt work [23:43] trism: do you know how? [23:43] i used that before [23:43] crohakon, unable to resolve host [23:44] qed: do you know how to do it? [23:44] crohakon, i just want to see if i can connect to my own box using ssh [23:44] john`: how to do what? [23:44] Is it poosible to open a program on a desktop via ssh? I want to start transmission on my desktop, but I'm away and only on ssh right now [23:45] im trying to install the netbook remix, but after starting up and selecting to 'Try it',..i just get a black screen with a watch in the middle. [23:45] ssh -X user@host [23:45] coastal_, are the ports open? and are you sure you have the correct IP address? And are you connecting to the port that your ssh server is running on? and is there even an ssh server installed and running on the computer you want to connect to. [23:45] DanaG, Sadly, it does not seem to be able to find any deleted data... [23:45] qed: i open irssi in a terminal screen and i quit without using the quit message. When i log back into the server, irssi still running in the background. How do i get to that PID or open it so i can continue working in that irssi? [23:45] DanaG, =( [23:45] I tried booting up Ubuntu 9.04 with a flash drive on my gigabyte 770 & athlon x4 machine, but it threw a fit and tossed me into an intramfs prompt. except, this same usb drive was booting fine on my laptop... any idea what could have happened? will debian play nice with my hardware? [23:45] folks, my rtl8187 wireless is shaky after upgrading to 9.10, i can only activate it using modprobe rtl8187. previously i used to manually activate it using ./wlan0up but that gives me an error: insmod: error inserting 'ieee80211_crypt-rtl.ko': -1 Invalid module format === jon is now known as Guest8336 [23:45] john`, i think i found something, hold on a sec [23:46] crohakon: try doing it the other way: go through the "find the partitions" analysis, and it'll let you list files for ntfs. [23:46] pvl1: thanks man [23:46] icehawk78, sorta, u can use xofwarding if u have it enabled [23:46] qed: I'm on my windows box, SSH'd into my linux computer via putty. [23:46] crohakon, i thought the server was already up when i installed Ubuntu [23:47] hmm, for me, the ntfs undelete thing takes a long time to analyze, and gives no visual indication of progress. [23:47] pvl1: 1) How would I do that via putty, and 2) If that needs to be configured/enabled, how would I do that? [23:47] coastal_, no... not likely... try sudo apt-get install ssh on the server [23:47] crohakon, i did that [23:47] coastal_, and if it is already installed, have you configured it? [23:47] coastal_: openssh-server is the package you'll need [23:48] john`, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/56942 [23:48] crohakon, hmm no [23:48] crohakon, how [23:48] john`, idk if thats what u were looking for [23:48] pvl1: hmm, i'll take a look, but you understand what i am talking about right? [23:48] coastal_, https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/index.html [23:48] when i go back into the server terminal and i type "ps all" i still see irssi running in the background [23:48] john`, your trying to access something running in the background using its pid [23:48] Why doesn't my fresh karmic install have the "System -> Administration -> Keyboard & Mouse" menu item mentioned on http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic#Enabling_NUM_LOCK_On_Startup [23:49] i just want to get to that specific PID [23:49] How do I recover my grub loader?

[23:49] hola todo/as [23:49] pvl1: or i don't even know if irssi have that option where i can just switch back manually inside irssi [23:49] note that this is in karmic [23:49] bastid; thanks [23:50] karmic ignores .xsession which is stupid and annoying [23:50] pvl1: to the previous working one i mean [23:50] pvl1; yup have live karmic cd [23:50] coastal_, also, #ubuntu-server [23:50] pvl1: I looked up x forwarding - that doesn't seem like quite what I need. I don't actually care about looking at the application, I just want it to start running on the desktop. [23:51] icehawk78, try app & [23:51] john`: were you using irssi inside screen or byobu? then either "screen -rAad" or "byobu -x" [23:51] Dear ! I'm french and i have a problem but ubuntu-fr can't help me. Can i ask question here ? [23:52] scribawf, do u dualboot? [23:52] no, i come from Italy [23:52] DanaG, I must admit... this just lowered my love of linux by a great deal... It just froze and my caps lock icon on my keyboard started flashing... I was forced to reboot and then this... wtf. =( [23:52] VCoolio: i use it inside a screen [23:52] NTFS-3g really does suck, in my opinion. [23:53] eh, I love deb503 aka lenny dependancies, HEIL GNOME: CANNOT get rid of evolution without autoremove to remove the whole gnome SHIT => PERFECT !!!

[23:53] mdmkolbe: they've changed it to separate programs, keyboard, mouse, and numlock is enabled by default in karmic [23:53] DanaG, I was moving the files off of the external hard drive so I could format it to a different file system and put them back on. [23:53] Tok`Ra: what is your question? can you ask in english? [23:53] * DanaG hasta' go off somewherez for a while. [23:53] pvl1; unfortunately no just hangs at GRUB [23:54] DanaG, thanks for the help [23:54] scribawf, any error messages [23:54] pvl1: no, because if i open irssi and i close the terminal without typing quit. I forget sometimes apparently. I see a bunch of irssi program running in the background. I just want to go back to that certain one to control it or quit it out myself. [23:54] pvl1; nothing just a blinking cursor [23:54] Did it show SOME deleted files, but not all? [23:54] john`: hm, isn't it detached?; try "screen -rAad" to reactivate [23:54] DanaG, It showed nothing. No deleted files. On either drive [23:55] of course i can always use killall irssi [23:55] but that just odd for me [23:55] pvl1; a little history here, had earlier installed pcoslinux but couldn't get my wifi drivers to work on Gateway LT [23:55] Did it show "empty", at least.... or did it look like a hang? [23:55] Just upgraded to Lucid, it is running great! [23:55] seidos: with ubuntu 9.10 i have added hdd in my fstab with accent (é) in terminal all work's fine, but in nautilus the name of my hdd is cut. exemple: for "Séries" i see "S" in nautilus [23:55] running_rabbit07 what is lucid? [23:55] For me, it looked like it hung for quite a while; it just took a while with no indication of progress. [23:55] VCoolio: what does screen -rAad do? [23:55] pvl1; so just did a gparted, wiped/formated my partitions ext3 and let ubuntu karmic install [23:55] hmm, that accent character appears as a question mark here. === SpacePigeon is now known as TheBogey [23:56] sp4z: it is 10.04 [23:56] Looks like invalid encoding.
