[00:05] Vcoolio; i had it running, i wasnt missing wallpaper etc it just didnt associate my desktop with the desktop folder even though it was correctly set [00:05] VCoolio, i thing your right about it being a daemon problem if opening it fixed it. FYI i do think it's "show_desktop" and not "draw_desktop" that you suggested (use this for multiple wallpaper) [00:05] how do i register a name? on this ICR [00:05] i have a windows computer and i don't want to spend extra money for firewall, can exploit see my keys thru my unprotected computer?

Im using jaunty and am relatively new to the ubuntu OS.

[00:08] dumnut_: ask in ##windows [00:08] danielryan: ya gotta ask a question.. pick one problem at a time [00:08] dumnut, not an expert, but I've had no problems with (up-to-date) xp firewall as long as you have something to detect and block the trojans [00:08] !vista [00:08] vista is a recent version of Microsoft Windows.

[00:10] samuli, you can get an old version of ubuntu from me [00:10] I mean 9.04 [00:10] firedau5-away: well i wasnt using it in 9.04 so i downloaded the TAR from DIVX labs and it installed fine (aka no error msg) [00:10] I don't need a version of ubuntu, thank you guys :) [00:10] but you need to pay me 1st. for postal charge [00:11] how do i run openssh-sever [00:11] samuli, you'll [00:11] anyway to allow an installer under wine to write into my linux desktop folder (it does see the dir but its not allowed) [00:11] I'm trying to add an rsa signing subkey to a DSA ElGamal key that already exists [00:11] I already have ordered and shipped two ubuntus and two kubuntus to my local library and I'm using 9.10 myself [00:11] Is anyone familiar with getting MPD to work properly? [00:11] but seahorse is freezing after i enter the passphrase for the key [00:11] coastal_: You have to install it first. sudo apt-get install openssh-server. Once that is done the service should start automatically. [00:11] Currently it stops playback after logout. [00:11] coastal_, once it's installed and you've rebooted, you should be able to "ssh localhost" and get a login prompt. [00:12] someone here once gave me a simple command to flush the /tmp dir,, and i can't for the life of me remember it, any help? [00:12] sudo rm -Rf /temp/* [00:12] can anyone help me out in virtualbox? [00:12] what is the command to eject cd? [00:12] ZykoticK9: Last time I checked a reboot was not necessary to get the service to start. Unless there were other issues. [00:12] I have 9.04 as host and xp as guest [00:12] Anacranom, sudo rm -Rf /temp/* [00:13] kindofabuzz, uh sudo rm -rf /tmp/* [00:13] Grim76__, it's probably NOT required ;) [00:13] kindofabuzz, um, /temp is not a dir on linux... [00:13] kindofabuzz, and more than likely that will cause system instability [00:13] Anacranom, um sorry [00:13] Anacranom, why do you want to clean out the tmp dir? [00:13] phantomcircuit, why not? [00:13] omg I just wasted my time in here [00:13] whats the chat to smtp [00:14] mail help [00:14] chewy, why not try #linux? [00:14] kindofabuzz, that's the wrong question to ask, first you ask why would you [00:14] hey guys, did anyone ever have the problem, after installing Emerald Theme Manager, that all programs lost their menubar ? [00:14] hey folks, anyone know if there are any images with ubunt pre-gnome3 ? [00:14] phantomcircuit, its not flushing on exit/logoff/restartx or even reboot [00:14] i did ubuntu because i am using ubuntu for myserver [00:14] Anacranom, and you expect it to do that why? [00:14] chewy, if it's a general linux question you'd be better off there [00:15] Pholious, nvidia card? [00:15] Is there a way to download all (or a large part) of the packages in the main repository as a disk image? [00:15] kindofabuzz, yup [00:15] Pholious, after installing it or after running it? Never had that problem + seems kind of weird because emerald isn't in control of the menubars. [00:15] !aptoncd | ramblagir [00:15] ramblagir: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [00:15] Scunizi: well, outside of Ubuntu [00:15] phantomcircuit, isn't it supposed to rid itself of the temp files from downloaded content and like copying cds/dvds? a [00:16] !virtualbox [00:16] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'.

[00:16] im impressed with karmic koala :D [00:16] Pholious, google not title bar ubuntu and you will find a fix [00:16] hey guys, i've used the same 9.10 disk on two different laptops .. the first went off without a hitch .. but on this one (an old toshiba satellite) i don't get a desktop image, even tho i've selected one of the ubuntu studio ones. what could be the case? when i go to shut down, the image does appear briefly, but is not rendered in session. [00:16] i just save a photo to the desktop to see if it shows up, it doesn't show up on 'the desktop' area, but it IS in the desktop file ... [00:16] Scunizi: thanks, I'll see if there's an option for all the packages as an iso [00:16] phantomcircuit, the wm is draws the menubars? [00:16] ramblagir: there isn't.. it would be *huge* .. [00:17] I thought that was gtk-2.0 in gnome [00:17] Can someone please help me out with a virtualbox problem? [00:17] does anyone here know why ubuntu is saying that my hard drive has 4850173 bad spots [00:17] Scunizi: ok, maybe not all of them, but the most popular, perhaps? ;) or, more specifically, the developer tools packages [00:17] kindofabuzz, ahh, so compiz is the one bugging me? :D cheers [00:17] wamellx, because it does? [00:17] danielryan: #virtualbox can be of help [00:17] samuli, phantomcircuit The client draws the menu bars, not the WM. [00:17] samuli, you're right, im guessing that he made the same mistake that i made [00:17] sanubuntu: right mouse click the desktop and choose "arrange icons" or something similar [00:17] thanks [00:17] wamellx: The hard disk is actually the one reporting that. Sometimes they lie, sadly :( [00:17] samuli, im guessing he means that the window decorations are missing [00:17] kindofabuzz: but it doesnt [00:18] wgrant: ah [00:18] ahh. right [00:18] ramblagir: there's no iso.. you'll have to download one at a time [00:18] Scunizi: ok [00:18] im mainly just wondering my windows doesnt say anything [00:18] that's unfortunate. thanks, though, Scunizi :) [00:18] wamellx: You'll find a checkbox to tell Ubuntu to stop warning you about the imminent failure. [00:18] wamellx, so your intuition is right and the hard drive is wrong? [00:18] wamellx: Windows doesn't do monitoring like that by default. [00:18] ah [00:18] kindofabuzz: Yes. SMART lies. [00:18] wamellx, because windows sucks [00:19] wgrant, SMART lies? really now? [00:19] Pholious, for a quick fix you can try "metacity --replace &" to see if it is the compiz/emerald that is the problem [00:19] wgrant, under what scenerio is SMART going to lie? [00:19] phantomcircuit: Some hard disk implementations of it lie about various attributes, yes [00:19] wgrant, why would they do that? === yoasif_ is now known as yoasif [00:20] Anacranom, check /etc/default/rcS [00:20] can somebody help me? [00:20] TMPTIME should be 0 [00:20] phantomcircuit: Bug #438136 [00:20] samuli, terminal printed "[1] 3783" and made compiz crash, didn't pop menu back yet though :D [00:20] scunizi, i don't get that option on right click .. i get 'create folder, create launcher, create document, etc' [00:21] anything >= 0 is acceptable [00:21] Is anyone familiar with MPD on Ubuntu? [00:21] windows no longer works on my system, and i would like to make ubuntu my only OS. however, i still have files on my harddrive (accessible through ubuntu) on windows that i want to transfer [00:21] is it possible to use iPhone with ubuntu? [00:22] is there a way to install ubuntu and transfer windows files from my hard drive? [00:22] aaron, you will have to save your files to another medium before you install or you will lose all [00:23] sanubuntu, do you mean something like an external harddrive? [00:23] Pholious, oopsie :) [00:23] aaron1, if the windows partition uses less than half the drive you can do a side by side install, copy the files from windows to linux partitions, then delete and windows partition and extend the linux partition [00:23] Pholious, you're beyond my help then [00:23] aaron1, either an ext hdd or a usb stick/flash drive, or a cd or dvd, whatever you have [00:23] samuli, haha ty for tip though, got some tips on the ubuntu forums, gonna try them out ;) [00:23] Pholious, try metacity --replace without the & [00:23] phantomcircuit, the windows partition takes up too much space to install an ubuntu partition. i'm running on the trial right now using the disc [00:23] phantomcircuit, its- TMPTIME=0 SULOGIN=no DELAYLOGIN=no UTC=no VERBOSE=no FSCKFIX=no === klem_ is now known as soblivion [00:24] i have a p3 with 496mb ram. will 9.10 work on this ? [00:24] hello [00:24] Pholious, compiz "crashing" is supposed to happen though.. but you should have metacity title bars though. [00:24] aaron1, yes , create an ext3 or 4 partition for ubuntu if you haven't already , then once ubuntu is installed , the file manager should see your windows partition [00:24] arbir: I run Ubuntu 9.10 on a few P3-era machines with 384MiB of RAM, so you should be OK. [00:24] phantomcircuit, no luck :D [00:24] aaron1, in that case your only choice is to backup to an external hard drive before install [00:24] im trying to run gtk-gnutella on 9.04, i svned the latest version and installed. anyway, its not connecting. says i appear to be behind a firewall. any ideas where to look to fix this? didnt realise i had a firewall on the go? [00:24] neither live cd, nor install works. it just hangs with the logo [00:25] Pholious, did metacity crash? close silently? is it still running? [00:25] wgrant: so what to do about the freezing. [00:25] how can i fix a ownership error when i type sudo it says its on gid 1001 and it should be on 0 how do i change the gid ???? [00:25] phantomcircuit, it says "compiz.real assert failure: *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/compiz.real: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x09af88d0 ***" [00:25] samuli, hmm, it's weird, some programs do have menu bars and some don't... like firefox and eclipse do have one [00:25] Pholious, pastebin the line with the command and all the program output [00:26] then xchat and terminal don't [00:26] okay, thank you sanubuntu, phantomcircuit and blueskaj for your help. i will go buy an external hard drive === firdau5-away is now known as firdau5-notaway [00:26] how can i fix a ownership error when i type sudo it says its on gid 1001 and it should be on 0 how do i change the gid ???? [00:26] i tryed to chown it but it does not work [00:26] lol [00:26] Pholious, by menu bars do you mean title bars? [00:27] aaron1 depending on the files you have you might be able to upload them to some free host .. documents to google docs for instance [00:27] samuli, he means window decorations [00:27] haliho [00:27] i have over 20 gigs in recorded music and 30 gigs of music [00:27] shawn1980, uh do you know the root password? [00:27] samuli, yeah the main menu, with File and Options etc [00:27] yes [00:27] unfortunate but that's the case [00:27] i'm owner [00:27] Pholious, wow, that's a weird bug [00:27] samuli, nvm assumptions make an ass out of me [00:27] :P [00:28] Pholious, screen shot?

Just look for some xkbindkeys examples (actually the man page and its homepage should be enough) and bind some key combo to run xkill [00:45] ernz, "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185" if you have problems with it and can't get to graphical interface do "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-185" and try again. If even that doesn't work do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [00:45] How do you do it? [00:45] there is anyway to join voice chats? i couldnt find a working site - flash gets freeze with audio [00:45] mrXX: ? [00:45] how do i staart xkeybinds etc thats my prob [00:45] jrib i modified content of alsa-base.conf and now ubuntu doesnt restart , i get the GRUB shell and i have no idea what to do [00:45] I want to copy it and use it in a Xubuntu-installation. [00:45] ernz, just giving you instructions in case things go awry [00:45] anyone know the command to spin down a cdrom drive? [00:45] jrib i miss ubuntu, i dont wanna lose all my things there [00:45] Where do I go to ask about using netcat? [00:45] compiling a vanilla linux kernel in karmic is giving me: [00:45] kernel/kallsyms.c:529: internal compiler error: in pop_scope, at c-decl.c:859 [00:45] are there any known issues with gcc in karmic? [00:45] mrXX: I doubt that's related to you editing alsa-base.conf, but you can always boot a live cd and revert the file [00:46] samuli: Ahhh, that takes me back to the days of Edgy. :) I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the help. I'll let you know how I get on. [00:46] Xubuntus, do locate asound.state [00:46] ernz, cool :) [00:46] hey phantomciruit it says /etc/sudoers is owned by gid 1001 should be 0 segmentation fault [00:46] jrib damn, why didnt i get the idea!! thanks so much dude, i will try that [00:46] Ubuntu 9.10 does not configure my screen res properly, it only gives 800x600 max and I want 1024x768. My monitor will support higher than this so that's ok. Graphics is intel 82865G. I made an xorg.conf and put the right line in section screen -> subsection display but the screen res is still 800x600 after rebooting. Question: how do I get ubuntu to recognise xorg.conf? [00:46] shawn1980, well you'll have to restart in single user mode and change the file permissions [00:47] Evito: xbindkeys not xkeybinds [00:47] Anacranom, Doesn't find it. [00:47] shawn1980, it's the only way [00:47] ok [00:47] just installed it, how do i start it? [00:47] does it have a GUI [00:47] Xubuntus, locate asound.state gives me this- $ locate asound.state /var/lib/alsa/asound.state [00:47] ok you got the command i'm kind of knew phantom [00:47] samuli: Drivers installed. How do I restart X? [00:48] has there been any updates for the fglrx drivers on the older ati cards? like the ati 200m built into the hp laptop. I crashed my wireless and may need to reinstall and thinking about going back to 9.04 from 8.10 [00:48] Evito: you need another package for a gui, but it's not that useful, you can just edit ~/.xbindkeysrc [00:48] phantomcircuit, is he in the /etc/sudoers file? [00:48] phantomcircuit, think I should try Beryl manager? or impossible under regular ubuntu? [00:48] alguien habla español??? [00:48] did someone say "beryl manager"? [00:48] Evito: run xbindkeys -d to get a default ~/.xbindkeysrc with explanation in it [00:49] alguem do brasil ? [00:49] Anacranom, Yeah, but (booting from the LiveCD) that directory is empty for me. [00:49] Anacranom, it doesnt matter the permissions for the sudoers file are wrong so sudo doesnt trust the file === rgreening_ is now known as rgreening [00:49] so unless he changed the root password to something he knows his only option is single user [00:49] Anacranom, Any idea how to "make" the file? [00:49] phantomcircuit, ahhh [00:49] is the array kernel beneficial? [00:49] Is there a channel devoted to things like use of netcat? I there appears to not be one named netcat. [00:49] srry to repeat... I'm trying to run a (C++) app I've compiled with root priveledges. I can't figure out the right syntax to use. 'sudo pathname' or 'sudo sh pathname' doesnt work. Does anyone have any ideas? [00:50] estou com uma dúvida sobre som no ubuntu 9.10 [00:50] Can I somehow copy the soundconfiguration that the LiveCD is using right now to my Xubuntu-installation? [00:50] Xubuntus, so u dont have xubuntu installed? [00:50] VCoolio; i see -dg listed as option too, what does the defaults guile do? [00:50] alguem me ajuda ? [00:50] Argh, I give up. How the frell do I get beeps from a terminal to trigger an actual beep from the PC speaker instead of some wav file played through the sound card? [00:50] preet, is it set to executable? [00:50] Xubuntus, ahh, yes, look in /media/ [00:50] shawn1980, chown root:root /etc/sudoers && chmod 440 /etc/sudoers [00:50] that should be enough [00:50] Anacranom, Yes. Xubuntu installed. It has that file. UbuntuLiveCD is where I am now. It does (appearently) not. [00:50] samuli: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg seems to be defunct. Doesn't work. Any other ideas to get NVidia drivers working? [00:50] ok [00:50] Evito: don't know, never seen / used it; promise: editing the file manually is just as easy [00:51] Have an Acer 5535 that screen does not come on after resuming from suspend. [00:51] Xubuntus, ahh, yes, look in /media/ [00:51] Pholious, you werent having any problems before you installed beryl? [00:51] xenocampanoli: don't quote me on that, but ##bash will possibly help you with issues related to various "low-level" commands [00:51] anyone know the command to spin down a cdrom drive? [00:51] VCoolio; thanks, shouldnt be this "hard" for me doh [00:51] phantomcircuit, not too sure yet what Beryl does, but when I create a new user, the title bar is just there [00:51] Anacranom, did you read my question? [00:51] Evito: remember that mod4 = windows key, rest is like you expect [00:51] I was born in the command line age and all :) [00:51] is there something like kde-apps.org for gnome? [00:51] Ubuntu 9.10, it was working fine in 9.04. [00:52] icedwater: I don't think it is, I'll try it out. But I've executed the app without sudo and its all good [00:52] ernz, I don't know frankly.. I'm not sure with this new version of xorg if editing the xorg.conf is any use [00:52] VCoolio; thanks for the tip [00:52] Xubuntus, i have copied over the live cd's xorg.conf from the live session to the installed partition so i don't see why not [00:52] petteyg, ati video card? [00:52] Hm, that means it should be executable. Check the permissions in ls -l. [00:52] hey folks. [00:52] has to be one of the programs I installed to change my desktop a bit, I installed emerald theme manager, KDE desktop (don't use this anymore), cairo-dock [00:52] Mercury: sudo modprobe pcspkr [00:52] just curious, what do you all think about how ubuntu theming is moving? [00:52] Pholious, is this a new install? [00:52] phantomcircuit: yes [00:52] ernz, this is what the meaningful part of the file I have "Section "Device" [00:52] Identifier "Default Device" [00:52] Driver "nvidia" [00:52] Option "NoLogo" "True" [00:52] EndSection [00:52] " [00:52] samuli: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:52] is the array kernel beneficial? [00:52] hey guys, I'm having trouble installing ubuntu off a live cd. I've got windows 7 installed and would like to dual boot between them but the ubiquity seems to hang just before the partition stage. [00:52] Also, if you compiled it, you shouldn't have to use sh to run it again, it should execute by itself. [00:53] oops [00:53] Anacranom, the file in media IS FROM THE ORIGINAL XUBUNTU! I want to FIND the one in UbuntuLiveCD to copy TO XUBUNTU. [00:53] didn't know that was going to be pasted as separate lines [00:53] !paste | samuli [00:53] samuli: 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! [00:53] phantomcircuit, installed it all last week, didn't have title bar since then [00:53] Is anyone using an X-Fi soundcard with the commercial driver? [00:53] petteyg, im guessing your screwed http://www.ubuntuhcl.org/browse/product+ati--radeon-hd-3200?id=6832 [00:53] Xubuntus: where is your CD mounted, then? [00:53] I am randomusr [00:53] you mean the creative beta drivers?yep. [00:54] icedwater: I can run it by itself without sudo. Yes, the file is executable... but the program uses I/O and I need to run it with root [00:54] icedwater, Good question. In media are only my two harddrives. [00:54] SetiAmon, I thought they had production drivers release? [00:54] Flare-Laptop, thanks, I know. I just thought that was going to come up as one line [00:54] for linux? [00:54] Pholious, well the first step i would take is to `rm -rf ~/*&&rm -rf ~/.*` [00:54] Xubuntus, did you have to install something to get it? if so then install in the live session, then cp the file over... whats the issue? [00:54] just in case it's some strange configuration that you're unaware of [00:55] samuli: Its ok, no biggie [00:55] and so I can run it through terminal as a normal user, by going into the directory the app is in and typing "./myapp.run", but I don't know how to do the same thing with sudo [00:55] http://connect.creativelabs.com/linux/default.aspx I am using these randomusr [00:55] Pholious: that is probably a bad idea to follow phantomcircuit's advice [00:55] phantomciruit that comanned did not work can [00:55] The Cd is in cd-rom. Are you telling me that the LiveCD BEFORE actually contains the configuration I want? (The one the BOOTED cd is using.) [00:55] Pholious, that will compeletly erase your home directory [00:55] guess i should have given more warning [00:55] hey looking for some help with karmic koala [00:55] Anacranom, Not that I now of. [00:56] phantomcircuit: that is never wise to do. [00:56] bastid_raZor, really now? [00:56] preet: first sudo -s and then ./myapp.run ? [00:56] Anacranom, Well, might be ALSA-update, reinstall then. [00:56] do explain [00:56] Xubuntus, the live cd creates a tmp partition,,, your live session you can install stuff to [00:56] ugh, too late [00:56] can i up redo the upgrade ? [00:56] VCoolio: that did it, cheers [00:56] shawn1980, and you ran it from single user as root? [00:56] Anacranom, okay, good! Where is it? [00:56] phantomciruit [00:56] randomusr i should say i am running jaunty not karmic because when i upgraded to karmic i had to much problems with sound,even the 'out of the box' is distorted and broken and i can't install the creative drivers so i gave up and went back to jaunty. [00:56] Xubuntus: I'm sorry, I didn't catch the rest of your situation.. [00:57] phantomcircuit: yes, if you think someone has a configuration issue either create a new user and test or make a backup of suspsect configuration. never just wipe and be done with it. [00:57] Probably best for Anacranom to help you :P [00:57] preet: Did sudo -s work? [00:57] oh how do i get to a single user [00:57] ? [00:57] phantomciruit [00:57] yes, it did, thank you! [00:57] i'm new sorry [00:57] bastid_raZor, im looking for the fastest way to solve his problem [00:57] Anacranom, is it a ramdrive that is mounted on /tmp? [00:57] not necessarily identify what is causing it [00:57] Well, don't thank me, I've never used sudo -s before. I'm reading the man page now. [00:58] * icedwater winks at preet. [00:58] Xubuntus, just install whatever you installed on the "real" installation to this live session, then locate the file and cp it over [00:58] well, atm it's all deleted and still no title bar :O [00:58] Anacranom, icedwater. I have booted the UbuntuLiveCD 9.10. I'm in here now. I also have a Xubuntu on a HardDrive. I want to copy the AUDIO-configuration from UbuntuLive-environment to Xubuntu (on harddrive). [00:58] icedwater: I'm used to using just 'su' on Fedora... itd be nice if all distros used a similar method to give a normal user temp root access =) [00:58] Pholious, configuration might not be reloaded/regenerated until restart, so uh restart [00:59] samuli: I got it sussed. Fixed it by: 1) Install nvidia nvidia-glx-185 package. 2) Run nvidia-xconfig (This writes the new xorg.conf) 3) Restart 4) compiz --replace - SIMPLES! [00:59] I need to update mlt-python package. If I force it to upgrade it says it will remove, '...debian-also', in favour of, 'debian-pulseaudio'. (more details here: http://dpaste.com/118941/ ) ... Can I do this, or will I break my sound? [00:59] VCoolio - why would sudo -s work? [00:59] alright, brb [00:59] what kind of battery life should i expect from a 5200mah battery? [00:59] had a laptop go into sleep/hibernate mode last night... now it won't come out of it. I held the powerbutton down to have it shut off completely and now it just starts up and does nothing. [00:59] phantomciruit how do i restart in single user mode [00:59] phantomcircuit: for missing title bars you're having him delete his entire home.. that is an ignorant fix. [00:59] preet: Ah, but then that was what I was wishing for when I encountered rpm and yum :P [00:59] samuli, i have no idea the ins-and-outs of it, i just know i've installed tons to a live session and copied the conf files to the "real" files [00:59] ernz, good :) [00:59] shawn1980: booting to recovery mode is single user mode [00:59] icedwater: as far as I know it enters a root terminal, so next commands are run as root; run exit to go back to normal [01:00] whats the command [01:00] Hm, OK. [01:00] samuli, i have no idea the ins-and-outs of it, i just know i've installed tons to a live session and copied the conf files to the "real" files, also Xubuntus [01:00] samuli: Thanks for the help. I like that search command. Will come in handy in the future. Good night. [01:00] Anacranom, icedwater. Why I want to do this is because the Xubuntu does NOT have a good/working AUDIO-config/setup, but this UbuntuLive-environment has a MARVOULESS one! [01:00] bastid_raZor, i made a point of asking him whether he just installed or not... [01:00] shawn1980: Just reboot the computer, then select the menu option to go to single mode. [01:00] icedwater: not sure yet what the difference is with sudo -i, but I saw sudo -s on help.ubuntu.com somewhere, so I guess it's ok [01:00] where should the xbindkeysrc file be? [01:00] nighty night ernz [01:00] You may have to press ESC to see the Grub menu at bootup, so. [01:00] HI can somebody help me get rid of Pulse Audio its driving me nuts. [01:01] Evito: in home, hidden, with a . dot in front [01:01] shawn1980, restart and select the option with "Rescue Mode" in it, most likely the second option [01:01] ok [01:01] VCoolio: I'm not sure about sudo in the first place, I just know it works. It borrows the environment variables of root and executes a single command as root, does it not? [01:01] How does the soundrecognition actually work in Ubuntu, compared to Xubuntu? [01:01] the actual home folder or inside the users named folder [01:01] thats phantom [01:01] HI all, upgraded from ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 and now java inside firefox doesnt work on a 64 bit, is this a common problem ? [01:01] running the ubuntu 9.10 live cd, logged out to apply some display settings but whats default login credentials to get back in? [01:01] Evito, VCoolio hit ctrl+h to see hidden files in gui [01:01] Anacranom, you have to mount the file system on your harddrive to do that I would guess [01:01] exit [01:02] tomvolek, got same prob [01:02] Anybody got suspend/resume working on a laptop with HD3200? [01:02] Anacranom; it didnt put one in there, so im copying the example file there to make it work thats why i ask whcih one [01:02] ouch Evito .. I am googling around , but nothign so far [01:02] Xubuntus: i would think that sound recognition would be the same in xubuntu and ubuntu [01:02] samuli, just click on it thru gui in computer> /media/xxxx [01:02] Xubuntus: I have no idea. But I would guess Ubuntu is working better because whatever Xubuntu makes has to come after Ubuntu is released. So they might have a better set of libraries, perhaps. [01:02] cant log back in at all :( [01:03] But that isn't always true. [01:03] Not all that worried about it myself, not like java is all that useful :) [01:03] phantomcircuit, thanks, it's back now, wish i backed up somw files from home though lol, I'll sort the rest out tomorrow and keep a good eye on not losing that bar again :P [01:03] VCoolio, sudo -i simulates an initial login, which means all new environment variables (except for TERM and DISPLAY) [01:03] :) [01:03] Pholious: which bar is that you were missing? [01:03] speaking of xubuntu, which is lighter as a fresh default install? ubuntu or xubuntu? [01:03] It's supposed to be xubuntu, right? [01:03] Pholious, it was probably some crazy gtk configuration thing, you probably could have found and fixed it... but it would have taken a loooong time [01:03] seidos: EXACTLY what I thought, and why I also installed Xubuntu. [01:04] icedwater: I really don't know much more than that it works and seems ok to use; phantomcircuit thanks; not sure if that's important if I just want to run something with root permissions [01:04] Just based on the DE alone, which should be more clunky with GNOME than XFCE.. [01:04] icedwater, think they call it a title bar in ubuntu :D [01:04] sdouble, xubuntu would be, but it's not like you need much of a computer to run ubuntu or kubuntu either [01:04] But, No one in the Xubuntu channel knows the difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu regarding AUDIO. [01:04] phantomcircuit, aye, been trying to work that baby out for hours the other night, was a tough one :D [01:04] has anyone recently installed adobe reader? Firefox wants me to run a .bin file instead of installing the addon [01:04] VCoolio: yeah, I didn't catch the question, but I usually only use sudo. Not many options needed. [01:04] So if i want to create say a button that kills on mouseclick like the forcequit thingie, what line do i add to the keybinds file [01:04] Pholious: title bar for what, the terminal? [01:04] Xubuntus: are the versions the same for ubuntu and xubuntu? [01:04] it's almost sad only ~300 MB of my ram is in use usually on ubuntu :) [01:05] Xubuntus: for example, are you comparing 9.04 to 9.04? [01:05] icedwater, quite a lot of apps, like xchat, terminal, video player/totem, VLC [01:05] hey guys, i've used the same 9.10 disk on two different laptops .. the first went off without a hitch .. but on this one (an old toshiba satellite) i don't get a desktop image, even tho i've selected one of the ubuntu studio ones. what could be the case? when i go to shut down, the image does appear briefly, but is not rendered in session. [01:05] this problem driving me batty, i trying to get this laptop ready to leave as a gift in costa rica b4 i leave on saturday .. arrrrgggghhhh [01:05] seidos, YES, 9.10 and 9.10. Karmic and Karmic. [01:05] hello. i use Karmic and most games from the official repos cannot exit. The still consume CPU even though their windows close and I can't kill their process. I can only stop them by sending them a SEGV signal with kill. [01:05] i just save a photo to the desktop to see if it shows up, it doesn't show up on 'the desktop' area, but it IS in the desktop file ... [01:05] Hmm... could it per chance have been a window manager issue? Metacity, perhaps. [01:05] seidos, Working and not working. ?!?!?! [01:05] :) [01:05] samuli: now switch to lightweight wm and apps and you'll get even sadder [01:05] + :( [01:06] nevermind, installing from synaptic [01:06] hey guys. how would one go about recoloring an SVG iconset (like humanity)? I would use imagemagick if it were PNGs, but they aren't. [01:06] sudo apt-get clean Tritonio [01:06] samuli: what desktop environment? [01:06] gnome [01:06] with compiz [01:06] OerHeks: ok i will try it now. is it a known error? [01:07] Xubuntus: i think you can install fluxbox on ubuntu, maybe that is the easiest solution [01:07] yeah, I normally use wmii but am using gnome right because I was having a sound issue. turned out my sound was muted =P [01:07] I average 270-300 megs with it.. thats why i installed 4 gigs [01:07] i'm using 650MB right now, i don't have desktop effects enabled [01:07] seidos, What? [01:07] I'm not exactly sure what you've described, Pholius, but I've seen windows without title bars before and I was told to use metacity --replace. I know what that does, to some extent, but I haven't been able to figure out why there is such a bug in the first place. [01:07] rsc___: Isn't svg just some sort of XML-based thingy? Try opening one with a text editor. [01:07] wow.. somethings wrong lol [01:07] im using 2GB right now :P [01:07] Perhaps you can do a 'sed' or such. [01:07] rsc___: Yeah, I would have suggested that. [01:07] hey room [01:07] seidos, How does Fluxbox help me copy the audio-config? [01:07] Ah, the wonders of being in an IRC channel. [01:08] what is the irc channel for powerpc version [01:08] where does ubuntu 9.10 save to on the disk during a sleep/hibernate? [01:08] hikenboot_: You can probably just ask your questions here. [01:08] oh my [01:08] I'm no expert, but I don't think there are architecture-specific channels :) [01:08] how does gnome-panel need 80 MiB of resident memory [01:08] !kiba [01:08] I'm using 335MB with firefox 4 tabs open, transmission on.. 6 programs total + daemons/services [01:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about kiba [01:08] zero swap [01:08] !kiba-dock [01:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about kiba-dock [01:09] phantomcircuit: Where are you seeing this, in top? [01:09] >> Is there anybody on that can give me information on how to remove Pulse Audio from Karmic? :( its driving me mad. i used to use esound on 8.04.. [01:09] Xubuntus: I'm making an assumption that flux is what xubuntu uses, so i was recommeding installing ubuntu on the system with xubuntu, then install flux, if you're trying to learn how audio is configured, then that's another story. [01:10] !grub2 [01:10] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [01:10] iceberg, seeing what? gnome-panel? uh the gnome system monitor thingie [01:10] whatever that is [01:10] seidos: I would have though Xubuntu used XFCE, that's where the name is from. [01:10] fwiw, my frozen ubuntu remix install on my laptop is back on track, I needed to reboot a few times. but seems good now. btw, it was a joy to select that replace Microsoft Windows option. This is my first linux install. sure looks like the ubuntu community has done a great job. I applaud you guys. [01:10] phantomcircuit: Lol, iceberg :) [01:10] * icedwater smiles at iceberg :) [01:10] Xubuntus: i'm under the impression that pulseaudio is necessary for audio to work out of the box. you can pgrep pulseaudio on the xubuntu system to see if it's even running. [01:10] OerHeks: running sudo apt-get clean returned no output and neither is my problem gone. for example kiki-the-robot still doesn't exit (that one doesn't even close its window, other games do but still use CPU and can't get killed.) [01:10] icedwater: thanks [01:10] eae: why do you say that? [01:10] icedwater, the about doesnt give it's real name :| [01:11] uh [01:11] it's command line is gnome-system-monitor [01:11] Oh, gnome-system-monitor. [01:11] OK. [01:11] >-< [01:11] I used to use top until I finally bothered to install conky. [01:11] why will my computer not update and stuff if it is not on the domain? [01:11] siedos, It uses XFCE (or XCFE). Really good together with Compiz-Fusion. [01:11] Check that out, it's fun. [01:11] liek i bring my computer hoem from work and it lags logging in and stuff [01:11] can someone please help me with this problem [01:11] phantomcircuit, haha. I have no idea. My gnome-panel uses 8.3 MB [01:11] Xubuntus: try tab-complete :P [01:11] sorry 6.3 MB [01:12] samuli: I guess that depends on what you're trying to do with it. [01:12] Xubuntus: i installed xfce on this system, liked it, but there were deal breakers [01:12] is php5.2.10 in karmic broken? [01:12] i also didn't find it much faster than gnome [01:13] VCoolio: So apparently sudo -s starts a shell as root. Isn't that like sudo sh ./pathname? [01:13] what program do you guys prefer for changing window themes in ubuntu? [01:13] does anyone happen to know how to make a wallpaper "theme" in Karmic? I don't know how to work it better or i would google. I mean like how there are some wallpaper options with multiple pictures that it cycles thorugh... [01:13] word it better* [01:13] seidos, What dealbreakers? [01:13] Hi. Ubuntu 9.10 does not configure my screen res properly, it only gives 800x600 max and I want 1024x768. My monitor will support higher than this so that's ok. Graphics is intel 82865G. I made an xorg.conf and put the right line in section screen -> subsection display but the screen res is still 800x600 after rebooting. Question: how do I get ubuntu to recognise xorg.conf? [01:13] icedwater, I suppose if you have some memory-hog or even malfunctioning applet on the panel. [01:13] icedwater: sure, but the op said that didn't work for him, so I thought let's try a detour [01:14] Yeah, he did say that it didn't work. I know, I was just trying to figure out the difference. [01:14] Xubuntus: hmmm, need time to recall. i still have it just in case i need it though [01:14] wallpaporz i think its called [01:14] hi [01:14] paperz [01:14] samuli, yehah gnome seems to eat memory [01:15] system has been up for like a few days but that doesnt really seem that extreme [01:15] phantomcircuit, not my experience though, but I've heard people say that [01:15] my kubuntu 9.10 doesnt detect my ATI graphic card, what's the driver to install to have the best opengl performances (i dont care about compiz and co) [01:15] icedwater: maybe he needed sudo "sh ./path" [01:15] Xubuntus: i'm pretty sure colors were an issue. couldn't get it with the black background, i prefer this color scheme. also mouse config, my mouse buttons are switched. oh, more importantly, couldn't organize open apps on the panel [01:15] gnome-panel is sleeping on 15 MB over here ... but then I'm on Debian Lenny :P [01:15] sanubuntu, what's the probelm? [01:15] seidos, None of those are problems in my Xubuntu-install. [01:16] I managed to get my panel up from 6.3 to 12 MB by using transparency :P [01:16] As I was saying, IRC is like a fish market, only people respond to everyone else :P [01:16] Xubuntus: interesting. i should install in a virtual machine. maybe after i install zenix in a virtual machine [01:16] I like the transient sense of connectedness it gives you. [01:16] siedos, Have you got a working flashplayer on youtube - one that you can click HD and then Fullscreen on? [01:16] Then I go out and talk to my real friends :P [01:17] ohb66, enable kms if it is enabled for your card [01:17] icedwater: stop gloating :( [01:17] seidos: I like IRC :P Don't get me wrong. [01:17] if you have a 5200mah battery, what kind of battery life do you get? [01:17] icedwater: "these are my frends see how they glisten..." [01:17] icedwater: i know what you meant, i am not getting you wrong. ;) [01:17] How do I know what audioconfig my now-running system is using? [01:17] ;) [01:18] a couple days ago all my browsers started displaying some text wierd. see image. top text is normal, bottom is bold. it just stretches instead of boldening.. any ideas? http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/6130/asdfc.jpg [01:18] seidos- if you program the batt properly it will do you justice. [01:18] seidos: probably just over 2 horus [01:18] can someone tell me whats wrong with this code for my eggdrop: http://pastebin.com/m171e9217 [01:18] dost anyone knows why flash freezes after video-mic confirmation opens? [01:18] bastid_raZor: ah, that's what i was getting before...*the incident* [01:18] Xcell: ... [01:18] help [01:19] Has anyone got experience tweaking keytouch to get their keyboards working fully? (eg Fn-* combinations, etc.) [01:19] When I run "pgrep pulseaudio" (on LiveCD-env) I get "3330". What's that 3330 about? [01:19] seidos: my battery is 4400 and i get right at 2 hours. [01:19] * seidos throws damdooom a life preserver [01:19] does anyone know why audio backends in linux have to suck? [01:19] how do i boot the powerpc version into single user no graphics mode from the boot: prompt [01:19] Xubuntus: man pgrep :P [01:19] Dam0, now im prettttty sure this is the wrong channel for that === Prodego is now known as Administrivia [01:19] Xubuntus: that means pulseaudio is running and its pid is 3330 [01:19] phantomcircuit, this is the only channel i get a responce in [01:20] Well, you might not get the kind of response you like. Maybe apt-get install patience? [01:20] !xorg.conf [01:20] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [01:20] Oops, that was mean :P [01:20] Dam0, oh hey look http://www.eggheads.org/support/ [01:20] * icedwater ruffles Dam0's hair. [01:20] hey everyone, why cant i right click when suing compiz in ubuntu 9.10 [01:20] 9.10 still uses those init-scripts? [01:21] samuli: yes and no.. [01:21] there is anyway for ubuntu to join voice chats????????????????????? [01:21] !upstart | samuli [01:21] samuli: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [01:21] seidos, Is pulseaudio included in ALSA? [01:21] Xubuntus: i know on my system, which uses snd_hda_intel "driver" i need the snd_hda_intel module and pulseaudio for it to work [01:21] Dam0, amazingly you are on the only major network without an official eggdrop channel [01:21] impressive [01:21] bastid_raZor, nice to know those old commands still work, though [01:21] !compile > kisuke [01:21] kisuke, please see my private message [01:21] mgv1, voice chats? [01:21] seidos, Is pulseaudio kind'a included in ALSA? [01:21] Xubuntus: i think ALSA and pulseaudio are separate. pulseaudio is *like* a proxy [01:22] hey everyone, why cant i right click in ubuntu 9.10 using compiz as my window manager? [01:22] pulseaudio like to break things randomly [01:22] voice chats with few peopls together phantomcircuit [01:22] Hi guys I just got the matching DVD+/-RW for my Dell Mini 10v netbook. Ubuntu 9.10 NRE thinks that I have a floppy and cdrom whener I unplug the drive. When I plug it in, they disapear and the DVDRW is mounted. Should I just ignore that? [01:22] bastid_raZor, do you reckon there's faster boots available if they would just forget about those scripts and have upstart the way it's meant to be? [01:22] mgv1, you mean like msn or yahoo or skype? [01:22] mgv1, so you mean like what software would allow you do have a conference call? [01:22] Does anyone know HOW TO COPY AUDIO-CONFIG FROM UBUNTU TO UBUNTU? [01:23] hmmm, he brings up a good point. what process is running for alsa? [01:23] linuxguy2009, what is NRE [01:23] Xubuntus: CAPITAL LETTERS DON'T HELP [01:23] samuli: i've heard the slow boots are attritubed to fsck checking drives on boot [01:23] can anyone point out a good full system backup utility for ubuntu? [01:23] You saw it? :) [01:23] what sort of audio config? [01:23] anyone working on the java security update? [01:23] I know the reason. [01:23] Halitech, phantomcircuit - i want to join existing chat [01:23] Xubuntus: my guess is it's not a single file or directory... you would probably have to set up some package? [01:23] i setup a software raid5 array is there a way to get it to mount on boot? [01:23] mgv1, existing chat on what protocal? [01:24] Xubuntus: this how to might help you out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [01:24] rsc___, the one thats working/is on right now. [01:24] Any one can tell me how to get a descent OpenGL driver for my ATI ardeon X300 on kubuntu 9.10 please ! [01:24] I'm not too familiar with Xubuntu, though. It should use the same repos as Ubuntu does, doesn't it? [01:24] Halitech, doesnt matter [01:24] samuli: obviously this isn't confirmed but a friend of mine set in fstab to not check his partitions and boots times improved. [01:24] mgv1, well if it is an existing chat then yes it does matter [01:24] bastid_raZor, I doubt anyone can say 9.10 is a slow booter with out something like that happening in the background. What I meant is if the boot time would be even faster if they abandoned the old and just used upstart without init scripts [01:24] Hi. Ubuntu 9.10 does not configure my screen res properly, it only gives 800x600 max and I want 1024x768. My monitor will support higher than this so that's ok. Graphics is intel 82865G. I made an xorg.conf and put the right line in section screen -> subsection display but the screen res is still 800x600 after rebooting. Question: how do I get ubuntu to recognise xorg.conf? [01:24] ohmy: Patience, someone will answer your question at some point. :) We're all here because we have a problem of some sort :) [01:24] what's the command to reset pulseaudio? [01:25] mgv1, uh so you want to take two independent voice chats and combine them without ever hanging up? i dont know of any system that is designed to do that for windows or linux [01:25] anyone know a program to use gmail chat client through terminal? [01:25] there arent chats to join on skype Halitech [01:25] text base one like naim [01:25] but can use gmail chat [01:25] Is there a faster place to download the newest edition of ubuntu as the official link is downloading at 12kbs [01:25] mgv1, there are if you have friends on there [01:25] icedwater, right, sorry .. i've just recovered my PC after a crash and i'm tired ... hopefully i'll get some help tomorrow :/ [01:25] samuli: ah, i see. upstart has has been in 8.10 and 9.04 just not fully used. now the big switch to upstart used over init.d is in place. [01:25] ohmy: Have you tried searching for drivers on google? :) [01:25] Xubuntus, tell rsc___ that you are on live cd trying to copy current audio config to the actual installed partition because this one works [01:25] ohmy: I know, it can be frustrating sometimes. [01:25] does anyone happen to know how to make a wallpaper "theme" in Karmic? I don't know how to describe it better or i would google. I mean like how there are some wallpaper options with multiple pictures that it cycles thorugh... [01:25] crohakon: use the torrents. [01:25] IRC is like that, we just have to wait. [01:26] crohakon, bittorrent [01:26] how? where is the link? [01:26] icedwater: do you know one? [01:26] I did not see a torrent link on the website [01:26] it's on the normal download page somewhere [01:26] is kiba dock no longer available? [01:26] crohakon: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ on this page [01:26] redDEADresolve: sorry NRE-netbook remix edition [01:26] TheCheeze: no one answered your question, eh. Are you using KDE? [01:26] phantomcircuit, helitech - look - some websites allow flash chat with audio but flash doesnt works good with linux - so what ive left with? [01:26] john`: Let me scroll back ... do I know one what? [01:27] icedwater, gnome [01:27] linuxguy2009, thats what i thought [01:27] siedos, been there... [01:27] phantomcircuit, helitech - probably no options [01:27] icedwater: a text base gmail chat client [01:27] TheCheeze- this? http://wallpapoz.akbarhome.com/ [01:27] mgv1, uh you're talking about a conference call [01:27] Xubuntus 9.10 still uses pulseaudio yeah? you can check ~/.pulse and /etc/pulse [01:27] icedwater: does it exist one in terminal? [01:27] mgv1: Try adding the medibuntu repositories, then getting flash from there, that's usually pretty good. [01:27] mgv1, flash works fine for me but you need to explain exactly what you want to do [01:27] phantomcircuit, yes [01:27] crohakon, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt [01:27] Xubuntus but then again it may be more than your pulseaudio config making your audio work [01:27] john`: Not offhand, no. Have you tried apt-cache search? [01:27] crohakon, if you're going to upgrade make sure to get the alternative install cd [01:28] TheCheeze: I suspected that might be it, because KDE offers that option pretty easily. [01:28] mgv1, skype [01:28] rsc___, I'm on live cd trying to copy current audio config to the actual installed partition because this one works. [01:28] ahh, there is the 800kbs I was looking for [01:28] :) [01:28] Hi. How can I just download the distro upgrade without installing it? [01:28] icedwater: i haven't but i did try google, but with no luck =( [01:28] Xubuntus: you can check ~/.pulse and /etc/pulse [01:28] lgc, download the alternative install cd [01:28] can anyone plz help me [01:28] TheCheeze: I think you might want to work on a script to rotate wallpapers ... try searching for that :) [01:28] Xubuntus: is your live cd the same version of ubuntu as your installed version? [01:28] Jack21, restate question [01:28] icedwater, i know in windows i could just put the ones i wanted into a folder and rotate through that way, but i dont see even an option like that [01:29] how does one change to generic desktop on ubuntu netbook remix? [01:29] JacobT1, restate question [01:29] Yeah, TheCheeze ... that is Windows. [01:29] Halitech, I'm looking for something along the lines of "apt-get dist-upgrade -whatever" [01:29] phantomcircuit, what? there arnt chats like that in skype on linux- what is medibuntu? [01:29] i cant load ubuntu, it boots up in a GRUB mode, how can i recover? I had made some changes in the alsa-base.conf file before restarting, plzzz help me, i miss ubuntu [01:29] I'm pretty sure the option exists, but I have never needed it, so I didn't look it up. [01:29] I mean How do I get rid of that moron mode that is enabled by default === meh is now known as Guest14635 [01:29] that when im not connectd to the domain when i try to update the system it will lock up [01:29] lgc, not sure if there is an option for that or not [01:29] !medibuntu | mgv1 [01:29] mgv1: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [01:29] when im not ont he domain and do anythign w/ log on information it takes forever for it to work [01:29] mgv1: I use skype on linux, incidentally. Medibuntu is ... there we go :P [01:30] * icedwater smiles at ubottu. [01:30] ha1331: What moron mode? [01:30] hey [01:30] rsc___, Yes, same version. Both are Karmic, 9.10. [01:30] ubottu dude, i messed up with ubuntu, i modified the alsa-base.conf file a little(for my mic to work) and after i restart all i have is a grub screen and i dont know what to do, did I lose Ubuntu? [01:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:30] icedwater: he means the default menu thing of the netbook remix [01:31] skype on linux doesnt has chats to join to? [01:31] It's not perfect, I must say - Skype's interface disappears when I start a video call.. [01:31] JacobT1, im sorry can you please restate your problem in a complete sentence [01:31] icedwater: every window opens full screen, there is no desktop just netbookish looking main window where one can choose what to do etc. [01:31] without the mark [01:31] JacobT1, im still not even sure what you're trying to ask [01:31] Halitech, there is one, indeed. I just don't remember it right now. That's why I ask. [01:31] hmm [01:31] icedwater: 9.10 nbr [01:31] rsc___, Also, it seems like the cd uses pulse. And the Xubuntu has got a "/etc/pulse". [01:31] guys plz help me recover my ubuntu, it boots up only in grub mode [01:31] mgv1, no, you can only call someone on your friend list [01:31] Hmm... mgv1: sorry, I can't say much about that there. I don't use Skype on windows much any more. [01:31] lgc, ok, I've never used it .... have you tried the man pages for apt or google? [01:32] like the automatic system updates if there is one it will not install it unless i am connected to the domain [01:32] Xubuntus: see if there are any significant differences between the /etc/pulse of both installations. I'd also check /home/username/.pulse :> [01:32] Xubuntt dude, i messed up with ubuntu, i modified the alsa-base.conf file a little(for my mic to work) and after i restart all i have is a grub screen and i dont know what to do, did I lose Ubuntu? [01:32] mrXX: What does it tell you after it goes past the grub screen? [01:32] Halitech, when all else fails...read the manual! [01:32] ubottu dude, i messed up with Xubuntu modified the alsa-base.conf file a little(for my mic to work) and after i restart all i have is a grub screen and i dont know what to do, did I lose Ubuntu? [01:32] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:32] lgc, best I can suggest at the moment [01:32] hi all. how do i switch between X11 cursor themes? [01:32] mrXX: You edited the alsa-base.conf file a little? [01:32] Halitech, thanks, anyway. [01:33] Xubuntus: I wouldn't blindly copy over those though (from the live cd to the installation), although there's no harm if you back up whatever you'll replace. your lack of audio may be a problem with your kernel modules or something unrelated to pulse [01:33] freaky[t], from system/prefefences/appearance [01:33] freaky[t]: Appearances, I believe. Select a theme that you're using and customize it. [01:33] icedwater yes, i changed a line in it, then restarted to check the mic, [01:33] ah ok thank you :d [01:33] icedwater but then it beets up in grub mode [01:33] rsc___: I agree with you on that. Make a backup, then see what happens when you copy stuff over. [01:33] what is the last support date of jaunty or do i get support always? [01:33] icedwater dude i dont want to lose my files in there and the configuration [01:33] !eol [01:33] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [01:33] oh, and don't copy modules from one version to run on another. [01:33] And do you see any error messages? And what exactly do you mean by grub mode? [01:34] It won't work. [01:34] Try linux-backports-modules-alsa [01:34] mrXX: Don't worry, you'll be fine. Your stuff is still there. [01:34] im not able to get it to boot all the way. It gets to the selection screen where I can say Try it now , or Install, or memtest. But when I select Install or try it now, it just locks up. [01:34] osmosis, what video card and system specs? [01:34] rai, it's always 18 months for regular releaseas and 3 years for LTS releases desktop [01:34] icedwater it has the terminal screen with only this - sh:Grub [01:34] icedwater, rsc___ Xubuntus Always back up any .conf or other file before editing it! ;-) [01:35] hey guys, i've used the same 9.10 disk on two different laptops .. the first went off without a hitch .. but on this one (an old toshiba satellite) i don't get a desktop image, even tho i've selected one of the ubuntu studio ones. what could be the case? when i go to shut down, the image does appear briefly, but is not rendered in session. [01:35] icedwater looks like there are some commands that go along with grub but i m a newbie :-( [01:35] Halitech, MSI Wind, Intel 945GME [01:35] sanubuntu, check the disc for errors [01:35] that means i wont get security and other updates after 18months? samuli [01:35] icedwater dude can i recover? [01:35] Halitech, help appreciated. Im stuck. [01:36] osmosis, which version are you trying? [01:36] Halitech, 9.10 netbook remix [01:36] anyone find anything wrong with the dagger release of MW2? [01:36] icedwater is there a way to access the alsabase file from windows7? i can try changing that line again [01:36] phantomcircuit, i used the disk for another installation and no similar problem [01:36] rai, not for normal releases. If you're not keen on upgrading much wait for the next (10.04) release that will be LTS :) [01:36] is there anyway to downgrade from 9.10 to 9.04 and keep your files? [01:36] osmosis, ok, I know 9.04 had issues with intel cards, not sure on 9.10 and never tried the netbook remix [01:36] guys, my ubuntu doesn't boot up, it only boots up in the grub mode, how can i recover it? [01:37] rsc___, There are some differences between the files in the directories. [01:37] sanubuntu, that does not necessarily mean the disc is clean just that the files accessed during the install of the first machine did not require dirty files [01:37] AaronM, format and reinstall, do you have a seperate /home partition? [01:37] sanubuntu, just run the check it cant hurt [01:37] AaronM: Offically, no. Unoffically (and lame hacks). Probably. [01:37] I am not familiar with Windows 7, mrXX, but I would expect not to be able to read the ext3 partitions Ubuntu makes from Windows 7. [01:37] mrXX, by grub mode do you mean the command line? [01:37] AaronM, if you put /home on a separate partition then yes [01:37] when will that be released? 10.04 samuli [01:37] samuli yes [01:37] ugg [01:37] Xubuntus: have a look at it, see if there are any significant changes that may be the source of the problem and hack away. make sure to back up. [01:37] rai, about 6 months from now [01:37] you can install 9.10 over 9.04 without losing /home [01:37] samuli but it is not like the ubuntu terminal with good commands, it is strange i have no idea [01:37] so im assuming you can do 9.04 over 9.10 [01:37] mrXX: So it gets you to root@hostname #: something like this? [01:37] but no guarantees [01:38] Hmm... do you notice any error messages, mrXX? [01:38] icedwater no, it is just sh:grub [01:38] thanks samuli [01:38] AaronM: Lot of people have issues in upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10, perhaps the issue you're facing is relevant. [01:38] phantomcircuit, I think it would have to format at least the / partition [01:38] AaronM, just put your /home on a separate partition [01:38] icedwater maybe it cant load the kernel, that is what i feel, but i dont know the soln [01:38] Anacronom, icedwater, rsc___; I had audio working on Xubuntu yesterday (25 hours ago :) ) but after reboot... byebye audio. :( === Pikachu is now known as Guest82417 [01:38] mrXX: I am not sure if you have a problem with GRUB2. I'm not too familiar with the new version, to be honest. [01:39] Halitech, no you dont if you do a manual partitioning [01:39] i'd rather deal with the problems than go through all the trouble [01:39] Halitech, i did it for my 9.04->9.10 upgrade [01:39] icedwater is there a way i can recover from cd? i tried but couldnt do anything [01:39] hello all. I have a question regarding installing Ubuntu on my PC. [01:39] I am still trying to sort out some stuff with my disk partition table so I can install Karmic on a spare partition and play around with it. [01:39] phantomcircuit, thats assuming a seperate /home partition [01:39] mrXX: Do you have a live CD you could use? [01:39] icedwater yes, it is 9.04 version though [01:39] mrXX, the best way to go about it would probably be first trying to reinstall/update grub [01:40] icedwater, mrXX; Theres a HUGE advantage to go to the #grub channel. They are very helpful! === Administrivia is now known as Prodego [01:40] phantomcircuit: is there a way for me to examine the installed system to get right to where the problem is? [01:40] Halitech, I found a thread on the forums that says it will boot off of USB, but once the linux kernel is loaded, it loses the usb ports. [01:40] Boot into that, mrXX - then in the 9.04 system, open a terminal. [01:40] Okay. Time to hit the bed. Nice chatting and helping. Thx, so far! Good nigth! [01:40] *night [01:40] ;) [01:40] okay, I have three hard drives in my PC [01:40] Halitech, no that is not [01:41] Hey all I dont want to be "that guy" but is there a better place than this to ask 9.10 support questions? [01:41] mrXX: once you're in the terminal, you can mount the hard disk partition where you have the modified alsa-base file... [01:41] icedwater then what dude [01:41] I would like to install Ubuntu completely on an empty hard drive. [01:41] phantomcircuit, explain [01:41] icedwater but i dont see the contents [01:41] if I do, will my computer still ask me which OS to boot? [01:41] genezoz: I would expect not - 9.10 is pretty new, so issues are coming in hard and fast. This is probably as good a place as any. [01:41] icedwater it is as if i saw the partition from windows [01:41] genezoz, ubuntuforums perhaps? :) [01:42] hey ubuntu its great aint it.. [01:42] AaronM, heres a guide to put /home on a separate partition after install,, worth knowing, better to at install ;-) http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=35&Itemid=9 [01:42] mrXX: Have you booted from the liveCD yet? You should try that, boot into 9.04 first. [01:42] Halitech, my entire filesystem (except the NTFS windows mount) is on /dev/sda5. I specified manual partitioning when installing. I did not specify any new formatting, I merely flagged /dev/sda5 as the partition to install on. The installer then went about removing system directories but did NOT remove the home directory. [01:42] Bruc, can't beat it for the money or otherwise [01:42] if anyone could help, it would be appreciated. [01:42] I'm eager to [01:42] icedwater ok , i m puting the cd now [01:42] install ubuntu [01:42] yes fix windows istall ubuntu [01:43] Hey, I'm trying to get media hotkeys working in VLC. They're detected and assigned in the keyboard shortcut options, but the buttons don't do anything in VLC, even while they can still interact with the os itself, for example the mute button. Help? [01:43] Guest82417: is that your only hard drive? [01:43] Using a Microsoft Wired 600 keyboard if that matters [01:43] phantomcircuit, I'll take your word on that but you'll excuse me if I don't risk blowing my system up by trying it [01:43] Bruc, very tru, but i also fix windows WITH ubuntu ;-) [01:43] I feel like I've searched everything and done everything. I'm having that black screen bug on boot with the -14-generic kernel. I guess it has to do with xorg. I've tried everything I've seen but I haven't been able to get past that black screen. Im using an ATI x800 pro. Which hasn't had any issues in ubuntu until this kernel. Im using a live CD atm. [01:44] hehe [01:44] Jetsetlemming1: I can't help you there, but I'd love to know if you get a solution. I'm on Debian and I'm trying to figure out how to get my special Fn-combinations to work. [01:44] Icedwater: no I have three, and I want to install it on one. [01:44] Halitech, you're downgrading to 9.04 correct? i wouldnt guarantee that would work, i know that upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 it did [01:44] I see. And they're all connected at the same time, I suppose, Guest82417? [01:44] but the installer for 9.04 is different [01:44] Googling it suggests other people have ran into it, but I can't find a solution yet, either. I'm super new to this whole linux thing, so I'm not likely to come up with one myself [01:44] icedwater, did you try keytouch? worked for me on my MS Natural keyboard [01:45] (Also, please change your name, I'm sure you're more creative than that.) [01:45] 03:21 #ubuntu: < syn-ack> iceberg, that is false. [01:45] 15:24 #ubuntu: < phantomcircuit> iceberg, seeing what? gnome-panel? uh the gnome system monitor thingie [01:45] phantomcircuit, I'm not doing anything [01:45] pardon? [01:45] be back shortly...going to run a quick errand with my mom :D [01:45] Icedwater: yes. Two of them have Windows files and one is empty. that's the one I want to install on. [01:45] iceberg, what are you talking about? [01:45] Halitech: somewhere in the flood of questions I posted mine earlier, here it is again: I've got an issue with keytouch, namely, I don't know how to find out what model my keyboard is. [01:46] iceberg: I think some people may have been lazy when tab-completing. [01:46] hey [01:46] syn-ack, what were you talking about? heh. [01:46] There's quite a few of us with ice* here :D [01:46] icedwater, must have been. [01:46] i want to use ubuntu but can't cuz it doesnt like my usb wifi adaptor [01:46] any ideas [01:46] icedwater: you are making me thirsty [01:46] i have 9.04 [01:46] Also, while I'm asking button questions, is there a way to make the middle mouse button behave in Ubuntu/Firefox like it does in windows and make a scroll icon over your mouse so you can scroll with mouse gestures? [01:46] icedwater, nothing on the bottom of the keyboard? (I know, too obvious but have to ask) [01:46] Halitech, oh i wonder who it was that was downgrading [01:46] not sure if 9.10 will be better with it [01:46] Halitech, oh well [01:47] smwn, usb-wifi... that spells trouble, hehe. [01:47] phantomcircuit, AaronM I believe [01:47] icedwater, check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see how X is recognising it [01:47] Guest82417: so ... yes, if you install Ubuntu on the one hard disk which is empty... and all of them are connected, you should have the option to set up the Grub bootloader. [01:47] iceberg, xchat compeltes to you even though i typed ice and it should have displayed a list of options, not sure why [01:47] icedwater, is it a usb keyboard? [01:47] yes it does [01:47] smwn, try the 9.10 live cd,, if works there, or shows in the restricted drivers, then ther ya go [01:47] phantomcircuit i was planning to downgrade if it was simple [01:47] true [01:48] Guest82417: This will allow you to choose which operating system you want at boot time. [01:48] well i don't want to buy windows 7 [01:48] kostkon: Thanks, looking at it now. [01:48] cuz i want to feed my kids [01:48] lol [01:48] phantomcircuit: Halitech: nopes ... bit hard to look on the bottom if the keyboard is part of the laptop :P [01:48] AaronM, i believe that you can install 9.04 over 9.10 without deleting /home, i know you can install 9.10 without deleting /home, and im guessing the installers are similar, but im not sure [01:48] icedwater, oh, you didn't mention that (at least I didn't see it) [01:48] Icedwater: is Grub bootloader automatically installed or must I install it? [01:48] But I will look on the bottom nonetheless, and in Xorg.conf too :D [01:48] icedwater, what laptop [01:49] Halitech: I didn't get to mention it in the midst of replying to others :D [01:49] has anyone got time to explain about the debian rules file? [01:49] Guest82417: It should be automatically set up if you use the typical live CDs [01:49] phantomcircuit: LG E310. [01:49] 'cos I don't understand it, esp the build target [01:49] Not even sure how to go about googling for part numbers there. [01:49] /motd [01:49] How can I do a clean install of Gnome? My system is all out of whack and I've been unable to find any solution. [01:50] Icedwater: so if I use the Ubuntu live CD that I burned, it will work? [01:50] cafree, can't you just reinstall the gnome-desktop package in synaptics? [01:50] kostkon: I think I've seen that before... it's uhm... one sec === Guest82417 is now known as Pikachu [01:50] cafree, not sure but would apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop do the trick? [01:50] icedwater, otherwise, /var/log/dmesg should say something [01:50] samuli that's what I said [01:51] icedwater, e.g.: tail /var/log/dmesg | grep keyboard === Pikachu is now known as Guest97552 [01:51] god damn it [01:51] cacert is run by idiots [01:51] hedkandim samuli: I can give that a try [01:51] Guest97552: Pikachu isn't all THAT bad :P [01:51] what's the diff between gnome and ubuntu desktop? [01:51] i send them a request to delete an account and they delete a wholly unrelated account [01:51] xman [01:51] i didnt even mention the other account [01:51] !ohmy | phantom [01:51] phantom: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [01:51] ? [01:51] fresh ubuntu install - on an old Dell Latitude laptop. . . my video looks fine for applications, but it has fractured lines on the regular desktop [01:51] !ohmy | phantomcircuit [01:51] phantomcircuit: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [01:51] Icedwater: my stupid IRC client is screwing me up. [01:52] phantomcircuit: Well, they did delete an account. [01:52] Anacranom: once is enough, maybe? [01:52] Anacranom: once is enough, maybe? [01:52] * icedwater winks === Guest97552 is now known as Pikachu_ [01:52] cafree, ubuntu-desktop is just meta package for most things gnome and a little bit of ubuntu spesific stuff you have on fresh ubuntu install [01:52] hi can't seem to get os-prober to see my windows partition any suggestions? [01:52] Pikachu_: Hh, which client is that? [01:52] icedwater, im still trying to figure out how they even knew the account they deleted was mine in the first place [01:52] lol, yeah, goofy kbd's but .. [01:52] The Ubuntu 9.10 survey is now available ... any takers? [01:52] thunderbird & imap: i have folders downloaded for off-line use , i want to "upload" the off-line files to another account on a differnt imap server, can this be done ? --- i only have admin on one of the imaps ( the one i want to upload to ) [01:52] Icedwater: irchon, for iPhone/iPod touch [01:52] phantomcircuit: Some other registration details? [01:53] Pikachu_: nice :) [01:53] Icedwater: so using the live cd I burned will [01:53] install grub? [01:53] it will [01:53] hi [01:53] if you install the OS that is, obviously === dragon1 is now known as dragon [01:53] Pikachu_: it is part of the typical Ubuntu installation. :) [01:54] icedwater, one has by real name the other is my handle [01:54] all right. thank you all, especially Icedwater. [01:54] they managed to delete the account for my real name, there are zero mentions of my real name on the account for my handle [01:54] can i bring up old chatlogs in x-chat? [01:54] kostkon: It goes by "xorg" "pc105" "us" in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:54] Pikachu_: Well, take care and check back now and then :) [01:54] icedwater, any mention of the model in dmesg? [01:55] how do I configure what service runs at n runlevel? [01:55] I'm aware of the presence of /etc/rc.d script hooks, but I'm looking for a tool. [01:55] I'm trying to solve my issues and get to try Karmic other than on the USB stick :) [01:55] dragon: The name escapes me at the moment, but there is probably a GUI option in System/Administration. [01:55] Maybe services, or session, or some such. [01:55] !runlevels | dragon [01:55] dragon: 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. [01:56] icedwater: command line preferred [01:56] Hi. Ubuntu 9.10 does not configure my screen res properly, it only gives 800x600 max and I want 1024x768. My monitor will support higher than this so that's ok. Graphics is intel 82865G. I made an xorg.conf and put the right line in section screen -> subsection display but the screen res is still 800x600 after rebooting. Question: how do I get ubuntu to recognise xorg.conf? [01:56] phantomcircuit: Big Brother is watching you? [01:56] dragon: Ah. [01:56] icedwater, what issues you having? i could not install via USB stick, is that t? [01:56] !upstart [01:56] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [01:56] Same preference as I have, but I'm not too familiar with command line. [01:56] how do I get the environment I am running (like gnome, kde etc.) and the version? [01:56] ... [01:57] dragon: I mean, for runlevel stuff. [01:57] dragon: I know about the k99 s00 and whatnot, those are the script hooks you're referring to, right? [01:57] anyone got tor running in 9.10 yet? [01:57] icedwater: i think so, yes [01:57] Anacranom: nope, installer doesn't see my partitions properly and offers to wipe my hard disk. :) [01:58] Anacranom: Live USB is the only way I've seen Karmic so far, is what I meant. [01:58] s/seen/got to see/ [01:59] One observation I have from Ubuntu 9.10 is that it seems very CPU hungry ... [01:59] kostkon: Also, grep -v keyboard /var/log/dmesg returns nothing. [02:00] icedwater, :( [02:00] Oh wait. I need to sudo make them a sandwich. [02:00] Well, it's the same crap I saw before. === DanaG1 is now known as DanaG [02:00] Apologies. [02:00] somebody help please! [02:00] kostkon: [ 0.692103] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input1 [02:01] wolf23: How so? [02:01] hi all. I upgraded other pc to 9.10 and gdm has failed on reboot, please advise [02:01] icedwater, hmm, not much info :( [02:01] icedwater, ahh,,, mine would load live but when i went to install, it lost the id of the usb,,, and failed,, had to slave a cdrom drive to my HP Mini (no ODD) to install from cd... [02:01] Yeah. [02:01] is it possible to update ubuntu 32-bit to the 64-bit version without reformatting/reinstalling? [02:01] crackpot, no [02:01] thought so [02:01] Anacranom: I think there are a few issues that need to be sorted out on Ubuntu's end, anyway. [02:01] is it possible to install ubuntu x64 over top of 32-bit w/o reformatting? [02:01] crackpot: you don't have to reformat, but you have to reinstall. Isn't too hard, though. [02:01] icedwater: thanx dude, i want to know how to open a .jar file on terminal? [02:02] yeah figured [02:02] crackpot, well, should say officially no, unofficially ... [02:02] so anyone? [02:02] yeah [02:02] how do I get the environment I am running (like gnome, kde etc.) and the version? [02:02] i know the accepted method is to always reformat for a reinstall [02:02] icedwater, agreed [02:02] take0n, system>about gnome [02:02] Take0n: Click on System > About GNOME [02:02] does anyone else have any issues with firefox not saving username/passwords for websites? [02:02] :) [02:02] wolf23: .jar archives are just disguised .tar.gz or something. [02:02] I upgraded other pc to 9.10 and gdm has failed on reboot, please advise [02:02] sp4z, I want a command :) [02:02] like i can't click the "Remember" button that drops down [02:02] what if I don't run gnome? [02:03] If you have the right libraries, you should be able to get it open, wolf23. [02:03] fireball: What was the fail messag? [02:03] anyone know why every time i try to burn any kind of video dvd i get error? or "inable to burn with current set of plugins?" [02:03] crackpot: if you're willing, try chromium from the repositories. [02:03] take0n; system>about kde [02:03] s/ag/age/ [02:03] chromium? [02:03] not sure there was one [02:03] i'll double check right now [02:03] sp4z, I want a command to retrieve that information [02:03] is it possible? [02:03] can anyone help me change the owner of a file ive been at it for an hour now and the can't figure out the damn command [02:03] oh google chrome, yeah i just installed that, but i would prefer to use firefox [02:04] i have no desktop (image) [02:04] when i shut down, the image flashes on briefly, and disappears [02:04] Digitalcheffe: change owner? ch(ange) own(er), therefore chown. [02:04] chown --help :) [02:04] take0n; maybe. did you google for it? [02:04] Digitalcheffe, sudo chown [02:04] if i save something to 'desktop' i can access it through the filesystem, but it does not appear on the desktop [02:04] Take0n, sp4z: ps -ef |grep gnome [02:04] sorry of a file ive been using chmod [02:04] kostkon: Well ... so no other ideas at the moment? :) [02:04] if you don't see much output, you're not running gnome, and maybe kde in that case. [02:04] sorry i ment folder [02:05] Same thing, try it, Digitalcheffe :) [02:05] !user [02:05] To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [02:05] anyone know why every time i try to burn any kind of video dvd i get error? or "inable to burn with current set of plugins"? I have medibuntu libdvdcss2 installed so it does not make sense to me [02:05] Digitalcheffe, chmod changes permissions, chown changes owners [02:05] dragon, is there a way to have that in a more general way? If the user doesn't run gnome it would return null or not at all.. I tried google but I don't know exactly what to look for I tried terminal environment or desktop but not much there.. [02:05] Digitalcheffe, sudo chown -R username:username /path/to/folder [02:06] icedwater, eh, you could try lshw or lshw-gtk (gui version). it's a nice tool to have anyway. [02:06] hi, i just upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, may I ask whats different? [02:07] O__o, 2 numbers [02:07] Take0n: so your question is: Is there a command line method to find a user's desktop environment? [02:07] icedwater, http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/lshw-gtk [02:07] O__o: May I suggest you explore? :P There should be a changelog somewhere on Ubuntu's website, too :P [02:07] during the install process, it said something about the rpm not in used??? [02:07] Thanks, kostkon, though I'm on Debian at the moment. Package should be called the same thing, though. [02:07] O__o, rpm is redhats package manager [02:07] homoboy: ok, let's start at the beginning. What files are you trying to burn? [02:07] wow apprently it did like being inside the /home/user/ folder to do it [02:07] thanks [02:07] I am looking for help with removing UNR and getting Compiz to work properly again, can any1 help? [02:07] icedwater, yeah [02:07] Take0n: try asking this question in ##linux [02:08] O__o: Being a Debian derivative, .debs are in favour, though .rpms can be supported, too. [02:08] thanks :) [02:08] is irc.ubuntu the new default for linux stuff? [02:08] Hmm... O__o: missing implicit subject above: Ubuntu being a Debian derivative... :P [02:08] so my laptop crashed in the middle of updating and i when i rebooted it gives me this error can someone help me? [02:09] is there something new that is not there in 9.04? [02:09] didnt get any responses before so trying again! [02:09] Prime_, whats the error? [02:09] how can you set a raid array to mount on boot when it's not the swap, /boot, or / [02:09] mountall:symbol lookup error:mountall:undefinedsymbol:udevmonitorfilteraddmarchsubsystemdevtmpeinit:mountall main process (719) terminated with status 127 [02:09] losha, i am trying to burn 2 .ogv files, both movies. at first i thought that maybe it was the format so i changed that to .avi with ffmpeg. did not work. I have used k3b, 2mandvd, devede, brasero, pretty much everything. [02:09] im having the black screen at boot with 9.10. Im using ati x800 [02:09] O__o, a lot check the change log [02:09] ive tried literally everything [02:09] where is change log? [02:10] homoboy: and you're trying to burn a dvd which will play in a regular dvd player? [02:10] anyone please help! how should i run a file .jar from terminal? [02:10] how can I purge a package that has already been uninstalled? [02:10] O__o: not too sure, but it should exist on the Ubuntu website. :) [02:10] losha, yes. [02:10] genezoz, did you try installing any drivers from the ati website? [02:10] wolf23, java -jar someprogram.jar [02:10] To clarify, guys, wolf23 tried java -jar filename.jar and it didn't work ... [02:10] losha, i also used nero linux [02:10] Hello All. Am trying linux Kubuntu for the first time. Can someone please suggest a good winamp like player? thanks [02:10] Ah, you beat me to it, kostkon :P [02:10] icedwater, ;) [02:11] wolf23: Why don't you tell them the error message? [02:11] kostkon: yes i got this --> Unable to access jarfile AlMuathen.jar [02:11] does anyone remember me i was talking to someone on how to chnage my desktop wallpaper automatically and now i dont remember who i was talking to ? i am lost! [02:11] wolf23, ah, ok [02:11] 0__0. try a google search for "what's new in ubuntu 9.10" or similar [02:11] * DanaG ponders switching to Lucid repos. [02:11] anyone running a rage128GL? [02:11] winamp? [02:11] Halitech: I haven't. I read that the ATI drivers were worthless. And their recent catalyst pack doesnt support x800. [02:11] Incidentally, kostkon, I'm installing lshw now. Hope that helps. [02:11] homoboy: ok, first, there's only one file format you can use for dvd video, and that's mpeg2. You're going to have to convert your ogg files to mpeg2 vob files. Devede is the best tool of the ones you've mentioned for doing that. [02:11] Boom: audacious [02:11] that is so 10 yrs ago [02:11] genezoz, ok, just wanted to make sure you hadn't [02:11] icedwater, i hope so [02:11] i need to configure gamma of my monitor, but i dont have a xorg.conf file... how can i correct this? [02:11] I have two different audio outputs. Rear and front. Is there a way that I can mute one and not the other? [02:12] nicle: Thankyou : ) [02:12] will look it up [02:12] sumeetbali: Not sure, you're not the only one I think - unless you /nicked :P [02:12] genezoz, not that I agree the ati drivers are worthless, I'm using them with my hd4350 and they work fine for me [02:13] kostkon: do u know why? [02:13] so un/reinstalling firefox doesn't fix it [02:13] genezoz, can you boot into safe mode from the live cd? [02:13] i cant remember their ID [02:13] losha, i have tried vob as well, ffmpeg -i filename.ogg filename.vob, should i do .mpeg2 instead?? [02:13] what do you think is the best music player on linux btw? [02:13] it worked pre-9.10 but since the upgrade it wont let me click "Remember" when firefox asks to save the password to sites [02:13] i like rythmbox [02:13] anyone know what happened to the gnome-terminal's fonts? It seems to be using monospace 10, but it certainly doesn't look like it used to on 8.04, 8.10 or 9.04. It just doesn't look right even though it looks like it's the same settings [02:13] wolf23, no. is AlMuathen.jar the name of the jar file you are trying to run? [02:14] I've tried a couple.. amarok, exail, rhythmbox, banshee [02:14] Halitech: Im using the Live CD now. [02:14] kostkon: yes [02:14] wolf23, hmm ok [02:14] genezoz, ok and its working fine there? [02:14] homoboy: first, I would see if devede will process ogg files itself. Have you tried that? [02:14] any suggestions as to why firefox won't let me save user/pass for websites? [02:14] n00bish question; and best channel i can find to ask in, what do i need to compile visual boy advance? [02:14] (and no i'm not in "private browsing" mode [02:14] samuli, i say banshee, though some argue rythmbox [02:14] Halitech: Flash is garbage, but otherwise yes. [02:14] wolf23, maybe a problem with the file's permissions? [02:14] kisuke: apt-get build-dep should give you all the building dependencies for it [02:14] try to compile it, and see what it says [02:15] homoboy, have you tried anything outside of the repositories? [02:15] banshee is my current favourite also [02:15] best music player is rymthmbox [02:15] losha, yes i have, but still cannot get that to burn straight to the dvd. [02:15] kostkon: so what can i do? [02:15] wolf23, the possibility that you don't have the perm to run it [02:15] genezoz, so you install and reboot and thats when you get the black screen? is it showing any drivers in use in Hardware drivers? [02:15] rhythmbox [02:15] I am having trouble with permissions, I am trying to make a link in nautilus but the option is greyed out [02:16] homoboy: Wann revisit the process together and see if it goes better this time? [02:16] it seems like my cookies are messed up in firefox as well. [02:16] I have chmod 777 and chown [02:16] djbpython, is the location you are trying to make the link in outside your home folder? [02:16] im getting "Kernel panic, not syncing (Unable to mount root fs)" error after selecting Ubuntu from the boot manager. [02:16] has any of you tried jukebox-gtk? [02:16] Halitech, yes [02:16] it looks promising [02:16] Halitech: No drivers in use. Once I install (doesnt matter if its an update or a clean install) It boots up for the first time and black screen. Can't alt-f3/7 either. [02:16] trying to set my locale to es_US.UTF-8, system wide. editing /etc/default/locale to contain LANG=... worked fine on my laptop, but on this box the root account is in es_US, as are user accounts but under X user accounts are in en_US still... which is somewhat odd. if I ssh into the box as any user the locale is as expected; es_US. gdm, login screen and so on is also in the desired locale [02:16] wolf23, er give somethike like: chmod +x yourfile.jar [02:16] samuli, not really. I have tried armarock, vlc, banshee, rythmbox, etc. and i say rythmbox has the best features. [02:16] djbpython, then you need to use gksudo nautilus [02:16] im getting "Kernel panic, not syncing (Unable to mount root fs)" error after selecting Ubuntu from the boot manager.

[02:17] wolf23, or try to change the perms graphically. right click on the file and then properties and then permissions [02:17] genezoz, strange ... [02:17] Halitech: Well...I can't confirm no drivers are in use. How would I check that? I can't get a command prompt unless im in netroot. [02:17] Halitech, even if I own the folder and its permissions are wide open? [02:17] kostkon: No luck, the only lines with keyboard in them are referring to which interrupt the keyboard takes :P [02:17] losha, what exaxtly do you mean [02:17] no one has any suggestions? [02:17] icedwater, :( [02:17] rocky|raccoon: i have it installed from the repos its just missing a menu.. so im going for the source [02:17] genezoz, I was wondering about in the live session [02:17] Halitech: Checking [02:17] homoboy: I mean lets step through it together & see if we can get it to work... [02:17] djbpython, are you sure the permissions are set that way? [02:18] losha, i c. sure, if you have the time lol [02:18] Halitech: No proprietary drivers are in use [02:18] I have two different audio outputs. Rear and front. Is there a way that I can mute one and not the other? [02:18] kostkon: Thanks, but I'll come back and ask again :) [02:18] drwxrwxrwx [02:18] genezoz, ok so shouldn't be loading anything at boot either [02:18] 3.15am, whee. [02:18] hello, say I'm trying to build a package for intrepid, and post it to my PPA. is it enough to set in the latest changelog entry intrepid instead of karmic? [02:18] kisuke: right...well apt-get build-dep packagename grabs the "development" packages for each of packagename's dependencies for example, so if you wanted to get all of the compile dependencies for visualboyadvance you could do it that way [02:18] icedwater, ok :) [02:18] anyone? what might change the locale variables post login to X?' [02:18] homoboy: won't take long. I won't stay for the processing. Ok. let's start. Bring up devede and select video dvd [02:18] Halitech, drwxrwxrwx [02:19] * kisuke facepalms [02:19] !locale [02:19] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [02:19] losha, ok.

[02:19] homoboy: select properties under Titles and give it whatever title you want [02:19] Ciao folks :) [02:19] Halitech: -13-generic works. -14-generic does not Is there a way to install 9.10 and roll back the kernel? [02:19] is there any desktop search utility for ubuntu (gnome)? [02:20] yeah but it doesnt fucken work [02:20] how does one add ubuntu cloud computing for 9.10 desktop? [02:20] a lot freaky[t] [02:20] it only finds the file names of the folder you're in - ...pretty useless [02:20] genezoz, I would hazard a guess that you can but I'm not sure how [02:20] xangua, which one is the best (or, the default one)? [02:20] losha, done. [02:20] xangua, and where do i configure it? [02:20] !desktopsearch [02:20] Services to index files for fast searching include: Beagle (front-ends: beagle, catfish, gnome-main-menu, mozilla-beagle for !GNOME; kerry, kio-beagle for !KDE; beaglefs for !CLI) - Tracker (tracker-search-tool, libdeskbar-tracker for GNOME; tracker-utils for CLI) - Strigi (strigi-applet, strigi-client for KDE, strigi-utils for CLI) - Kat (for KDE) - Pinot (and pinot-applet for GNOME) - Doodle (for CLI) [02:21] why do i not understand permissions, if the folder is rwxrwxrwx I should be able to paste things in to it right? [02:21] there is the deskbar applet that comes already installed freaky[t] , is easy to use [02:21] xangua, yea but usually some daemon scans for files etc.? [02:21] Halitech: I haven't been able to find that...I tried apt-cache search kernel-image in netroot, but it doesnt pull anything up. I assume because Im already using -14-generic [02:21] it uses beagle i think [02:21] homoboy: now go to files panel, select add, and choose one of the ogg files. Further down, tick ntsc or pal [02:21] djbpython: i don't understand anything === laura_ is now known as bobbbb [02:22] how does one add ubuntu cloud computing for 9.10 desktop? [02:22] ugarit, if you already have already signed up in launchpad/ubuntu forums you just launch the ubuntu one application and fill in your details [02:22] then add the computer on the netpage [02:22] genezoz, could be, I'm not a kernel expert so not sure [02:22] djbpython: if that is truly the permission, then permission is not the issue. make sure you are looking at a real folder, the right folder etc [02:22] a [02:23] Halitech: Thanks anyway. =) [02:23] mb_again_, I don't understand, the "real" folder, I'm looking at it right here [02:23] help me, how to install ubuntu from usb drive [02:23] losha, ok. [02:23] I am looking for help with removing UNR and getting Compiz to work properly again, can any1 help? My windows are maximizing on open [02:23] djbpython: symlinks show those permissions as well [02:23] hey there! anybody familiar with sound issues? i had my sound working for months and now i selected "always on top" in vlc video playback options. everything crashed, i had trouble gettin back into linux and now theres no sound at all. alsamixer and asoundconf-gtk are configured... can you help? thanks [02:23] homoboy: now repeat for the second ogg file [02:24] i have question.. I use the search feature in ubuntu and it only finds the files I search for in the EXACT folder. Lets say I have a folder called Misc on my desktop - if I were to run a search in Desktop it wouldn't search taht folder..it would only search desktop -waht's the deal with that? [02:24] what does the outputs of command "time" mean ? [02:24] real 0m0.413s user 0m0.392s sys 0m0.052s [02:24] what do those 3 things mean [02:24] losha, ok. [02:24] agus: there is an utility for create a usb in ubuntu [02:24] is "real" how long it took ? [02:24] bobbbb: i also had sound issues, now ALSA OSS and pulseaudio all does not work, i use a ALC888 card [02:24] djbpython: can you put anything in the folder another way? maybe try a terminal window and 'touch testfile' [02:24] agus: unetbootin ? [02:24] shwack, are you sure you have "search for files in subfolders" or similar checked? [02:24] anyone here know the dd command? i just tried dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/var/ftp/FF4SS.iso and its been quite a while, no errors but also no info...? [02:25] homoboy: so now back on the main window, you should see a bunch of stuff under 'file info' and the 'disk usage' bar should show some percentage. Media size should be 4.7GB dvd [02:25] mb_again_, yes in the terminal I am able to touch a file in the directory [02:25] I have succeeded boot but when detect and mount cdrom step I got problem [02:25] aw, ok. i just chose the correct "alsa device name" and now its perfecty working. thanks anyway.. [02:25] losha, it is, and usage is at 130% for some reason. [02:25] there's a lot of issues with intel hda-based onboard chipsets...i've had to set a lot of programs output to oss to get them to work with pulseaudio well =< [02:25] I am looking for help with removing UNR and getting Compiz to work properly again, can any1 help? [02:25] I am missing something fundamental about permissions [02:25] Hey anyone having trouble copying in vim (using "+y) in the new 9.10? [02:26] samuli: i checked for an option to search subfolders and I dont see any. To get to this search I add the search plugin via right clicking a panel and going to "Add to Panel" I add the little magnifying glass search tool. It is this tool that is faulty. If I run a search in an actual window the search works as intended. [02:26] Anacranom: no messages usually means it went ok.

[02:26] does anyone here use a dwa 160 usb wifi thing with ubuntu [02:26] how do I get the pulseaudio tray icon to display on the panel? I remember having it in an earlier installation of Ubuntu I had, but now I can't seem to find it. [02:27] losha, yes, but its still working,,, no ~$ prompt,,, [02:27] Want to view the first Ubuntu 9.10 Survey results? ... http://techiesrus.wordpress.com/ubuntu-9-10-survey-results/ [02:27] homoboy: I think that means it can't compress the files to fit. Go back into files->properties and adjust the video rate down by about 30% [02:27] AntiStrange, do you mean the pulseaudio device chooser utility? [02:27] djppython: i take it you are using some gui tool to paste into the folder. Can you remove the testfile you just created with the gui? can you paste anything into another folers? if so, who is the owner of the gui created file? [02:27] Anacranom: well it takes a while to copy 4.7GB [02:27] kostkon: perhaps, how do I access it? [02:27] samuli: Update, I removed and added the search utility and its working ? [02:27] AntiStrange, do you mean the icon that displays a mini jack? [02:27] hopefully this will work [02:27] I am looking for help with getting Compiz to work properly again, can any1 help? [02:27] samuli: i'm very confused [02:28] kostkon: yes, i think that was the one [02:28] Shwack, I just tried, it works for me "out-of-the-box" like that too [02:28] losha, i just pressed adjust disc usage and it went down to 99%, so whats the next step? [02:28] is there no GDM tool anymore to change the GDM? [02:28] Anacranom: open a second terminal and make sure the iso file is getting larger. Also, is the light on the dvd blinking? [02:28] how do I copy from different windows in vim? "+y doesn't work after 9.10 can someone confirm with me? [02:28] losha, yes, but 2+ hours? i could have watched the movie by now lol [02:28] AntiStrange, thes, just install the "pulseaudio device chooser" package using synaptic [02:28] samuli: I think it is a specific file it wont find [02:29] homoboy: under "Action", select 'Create Disk Structure' [02:29] samuli: give me a moment please to test searching for various files [02:29] kostkon: ok thanks [02:29] Anacranom, depends on your system, my old P4 used to take 8 hours, my new system takes an hour [02:29] losha, the led on the dvd is solid-on, will do the other 2nd tab/term now... [02:29] losha, done. [02:29] disappearedng_: Why not just use gvim? [02:29] homoboy: now press forward and choose a directory with at least 5GB free for the files devede is going to create [02:30] once again, just to make sure === Pikachu is now known as Guest91015 [02:30] losha, ok. it is creating. [02:30] Anacranom: it may be stuck trying to read a bad sector on the disk. Is it a video [02:30] losha, yes, a dvd [02:30] Hey everyone, hope your night is going good [02:31] Shwack, the search stuff probably uses that indexing thingy that I can't remember what it was and as such doesn't update in real-time. [02:31] homoboy: ok, open a new terminal and go look at the directory you told devede to put the results in. You should see intermediate files being created there. [02:31] that's how it manages to be so fast [02:31] Grub bootloader is installed with Ubuntu, correct? I want to make sure before I hit install. [02:31] losha, it is. [02:32] losha, i just restarted it, i'm worried that i dont have enough space in my /tmp which is why i asked how to flush that first... [02:32] is there no GDM tool anymore to change the GDM? [02:32] nice [02:32] Guest91015: Yes, unless you specifically tells it not to [02:32] Guest91015: Yes, it should be installed unless you marked NOT to install a bootloader in the advanced options. [02:32] !gdm [02:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm [02:32] Question: I'm trying to play a wmv file, I've gotten gstream, vlc, and tried installing win32codecs via "sudo aptitude install w32codecs" but the video still doesn't play, only audio players? When opened with vlc it says "VLC does not support the video format WVP2" [02:32] all right thanks. [02:32] how do you connect to a port through ubuntu? [02:32] Guest91015, yes it is, grub2 to be spesific [02:33] snoopy, elaborate [02:33] Does anybody have any good tips for speeding up boot time? My bootchart log doesn't look so good and there's a fairly large empty space: http://i37.tinypic.com/v5dchz.png [02:33] is it possible to get the build config options used on a package? [02:33] well like, connect to a port... you know? [02:34] homoboy: after a while (could take hours) you will end up with 2 directories, AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. These are suitable for burning to a blank dvd using k3b. You must select 'video dvd' when k3b asks you what kind of dvd to burn. ok? [02:34] samuli: I can search for files and folders fine and it works. However, when I search for the file murmur.ini it does nto work. i can locate this file on my own and I know for a fact it exists. - On that subject. Can anybody tell me which file in which exact directory I need to edit to change the port my mumble-server listens on? I edit mumble-server.ini and change the port but apparently the server isn't reading this file when it starts because the ch [02:34] ange does nothing.

[02:34] losha, yes, the dir that i am dd'ing that to is getting smaller space available via df -h every 1-2 minutes [02:34] losha, homoboy mine creates an actual iso file [02:35] ...interesting? [02:35] that was funny [02:35] what was that about [02:36] ... [02:36] Halitech: homoboy: we chose to create 'disk structure'. If we had chosen 'create an iso' it would make us an iso. I did it this way so homoboy can look at the files that will comprise his dvd [02:36] right [02:36] Shwack: probably another crazy person that got lost on the library computers at the mental, there's a lot of them [02:36] <|DarkMasterHalo|> He was basically saying that americans are racist ... :P [02:36] and that 70% of the prison population more than likely deserve to be in prison [02:36] Is there any way to play WVP2 wmv files? [02:37] losha,which way is faster? [02:37] does anyone know what Intel Drivers ubuntu 9.10 uses? [02:37] losha, ok, missed that step you gave him [02:37] hi all just to tell u ppl that the OSS sound driver for xine works for my ALC888 [02:37] homoboy, doing the directories will be slightly faster as it won't create the iso [02:37] G226: go into synaptic and search WVP2 [02:38] So does anybody know which file to edit to change the port mumble-server listens on? [02:38] halitech, well i gtg. thanks guys. especially you, losha! [02:38] homoboy: not much in it. Conversion is what takes up all the time. iso or 'disk structure' are basically just two different ways of storing the files on disk. [02:38] losha, ahhh finally- dd: reading `/dev/sr0': Input/output error [02:39] kisuke: trying that now thanks [02:39] .net [02:39] hey guys, just did an upgrade to karmic, and i picked the default option of having it use my old grub menu.lst (dual booting windows) but unfortunately that means now I only have kernel 2.6.28 to boot from. can i have grub set itself up to use the newer kernels installed? [02:40] kisuke: nothing came up for that search [02:40] Anacranom: that's why it took so long, trying to re-read sectors before it gave up. Try cleaning the disk first with windex. After that, use vobcopy or dvdbackup, as they are a bit more forgiving of disk errors. [02:41] Does someone know how to make items appear sequentially in OO.o Presentation? [02:41] ok, still having locale issues. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf did not help. have looked at numerous ubuntu specific locale "howto" pages without any success. problem again; locale is set correctly but under X the en_US locale persists for user accounts. on virtual terminals or on ssh the locale is set to es_ES as expected [02:41] ok well I take back a few of the bad stuff I said about 9.04..... it works a lot better with all the updates that are out now [02:41] seems something post gdm is messing overriding the LC_* variables :( [02:42] G226: gonna google it one min [02:43] kisuke: Thanks, I tried googling it too but didn't really come up with much except install win32 codecs which I tried from that aptitude command, but perhaps thats the wrong way :< [02:44] G226: np i have put the fear of Kendrick into google it will find what i want [02:44] * kisuke laughs creepily [02:44] sigmab3ta: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/470490 [02:44] wow, I just upgraded to 9.10 and the system is much cleaner, and the sound works [02:44] friggen sweet [02:45] geirha: thanks [02:45] question. I dont want to install compiz or any other program to manage my themes but I notice that on the appearance there is also an option for install so where do I download more themes that can be installed under appearance in ubuntu?

[04:31] An in the BIOS is 3 hours ahead. [04:32] Salvad, then just set the correct system time? [04:32] If I set the time correctly in the BIOS and start Linux anch check the BIOS time again the time is 3 gours ahead again. [04:33] Salvad, set in OS and in bios?

[04:36] SeaPHor, don't recall doing that in 904, but ill check it out [04:36] musikgoat1: The weird thing is, after selecting to start ubuntu in low-graphics mode, I got a working gdm login screen. Even 3D acceleration works. [04:37] Billiard: Ubuntu shows i am connected to router but internet doesn't work and it stops working on my winddows dekstop also. Then i reset router and it goes to normal [04:37] ceineke_: you might want to try reconfiguring your xserver package...sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:37] hi our office network has computers running hardy. we have purchased epson T40W printer for our network.

[04:38] krishnan: you are asking if you can connect to a printer from windows? wrong channel [04:39] Billiard: that could be possible becasuse i use 20 connections for my nzb reader (pan) [04:39] krishnan: ask in ##windows [04:39] Look for documentation for how to configure Samba. [04:39] krishnan. [04:39] musikgoat1: sorry mistake. can we connect it with hardy [04:39] trying to install karmic 9.10, will not install boot loader grub any suggestions? [04:39] salvad: just a typing mistake. i meant hardy [04:39] nicolas: what error do you get [04:40] Guest25364, so iwlist scan shows the APs? [04:40] musikgoat1: i mis typed windows in place of hardy [04:40] Billiard: on both the live cd as well as the alternate it will install the whole system then at the very last say that the grub boot loader could not be installed to target and that it will not be able to boot [04:40] krishnan: how are you sharing that printer to your different computers? it doesn't look like it has print serving [04:41] SeaPhor: yep...everything appears totally normal..no connect..strange [04:41] Billiard: on the alternate cd I even tried to install the other boot loader available [04:41] nicolas: lilo didnt work either? [04:41] musikgoat1: it has a built in print server and can be shared with wi-fi or wired LAN [04:41] krishnan: then you will likely connect via lpd [04:41] Billiard: no, someone said it may have something to do with my HDDs being RAID, therefore I tried the alternate cd, with no luck [04:41] Guest25364, re-put-in your essid-enc-psk stuff,,, [04:41] !lpd | krishnan [04:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about lpd [04:42] I have a question regarding Evolution, if someone can assist me [04:42] musikgoat1: tell me more about it. wat is lpd?

[04:44] nicolas: undo the raid? then you would lose your current data [04:44] atealtha: just have a try :) [04:44] Entered that command and now the BIOS is 2 hours forward. [04:45] Billiard: that is no problem, I am wanting a fresh install anyway [04:45] And the Linux time is 1 again. [04:45] nicle: already did, riddled with bugs. I can't even modify a freshly made vm without errors [04:45] nicolas: sorry i havent dealt much with raids, idk how you would turn it off, depends on your setup [04:46] Billiard: thanks for the try [04:46] musikgoat1: ?

[05:12] hat=the [05:13] could anyone help me get my bluetooth mouse working again? It hasn't been working since the upgrade Jaunty Jackelope [05:13] majin_jon, I use 9.04. and other than yours, no [05:13] alright [05:13] icedwater, do you know? you helped me before. [05:13] louis, I thought it was alt-F2, but that turns out to be the run dialog. You can add an applet to your panel/bar at the top of your window. [05:14] anyone? [05:14] knoppies I installed driver from nvidia site.... might as well install 9.1 [05:14] hi, i have a strange problem, we have 40 computers in a network, 3 are Ubuntu , for some reason accessing google.com and gmail is super slow on Ubuntu while super fast on the other XP and Mac. i can access bing and yahoo super fast on linux, just not google. strangely if i use a webproxy on linux -google is superfast! [05:14] judgen - possibly it is part of the mumble package, I am going to try sudo aptitude purge mumble and see [05:14] blubblub, have you re-installed the drivers for it? [05:14] majin_jon, I installed the ones from the driver settings in ubuntu. You can install 9.1 if you want. But it might pay off to have a look on the ubuntuforums first. [05:14] knoppies - one last question for ya... on cairo dock... it doesnt appear to show active windows. How do I set up cairo dock to show active windows that I have open? [05:15] Shwack, very possible [05:15] SeaPhor: i didn't know I had to. It was plug and play before. [05:15] Roasted, do you have cairo-dock 2.0 installed? [05:15] knoppies - whatever was in the repos, let me check [05:15] anyone know anything about where to [05:15] install the bootloader? [05:15] knoppies - good call, Im on 1.6.3 [05:16] how could I enter in the new grub menu ? [05:16] knoppies, I've looked... just trying to figure out if others have had that issue currently... very frustraiting [05:16] Roasted, I think I had to download and build cairo-dock to get 2.0. Im not even sure exactly where I got 2.0 from. I can try have a look. [05:16] Pikachu_, usually the mbr, whats your situation like? [05:16] blubblub, redo what you did before, remove all that you did to connect to it before first [05:16] judgen - after 2 apt-get --purge autoremove (mumble and mumble-server) and sudo aptitude purge (mumble and mumble-server) I still have said files and folders [05:17] SeaPhor: i've already tried that :/ [05:17] any other suggestions? [05:17] pren, I have three hard drives. two are being used for xp and the third I'm using for Ubuntu. I've gotten to the past step, and wanted to make sure that the bootloader was being installed in the correct location. [05:17] i can't get my sound working, can anyone help? [05:17] knoppies, I was gaming in wine to inc fps [05:17] josh_ - possibly, send me a /msg and I'll tell you about my troubles with sound and 9.10 [05:18] pren: I get four choices. (hd0) and my three hard drives [05:18] Usually it is advised to install to the MBR (defaulty) , MBR is hd0 [05:18] majin_jon, when you say increase, do you mean in comparison to windows? I thought that would decrease fps? from what I understand the drivers are in favour of windows. [05:18] pren: so I go ahead and leave it at hd0. that was the default. [05:18] could anyone help me get my bluetooth mouse working again? It hasn't been working since the upgrade Jaunty Jackelope [05:18] hello how do I add php-zlib support on ubuntu server? what is the name of that package please [05:19] Pikachu_, the bootlaoder should find your XP and display it as an option when you boot, if it doesn't -dont panic, tehre are easy ways to add XP to the menu [05:19] I know its taboo within the community to mention this but if your gonna game its so much easier to use a seperate win partition and thats all I use it for and it runs fine [05:19] blubblub, blutooth in general is really messed up on all linux,,,fresh setup is the only way ,,, if possible [05:19] pren, so I [05:19] install with hd0?

I have no comparison this is a laptop I'm talking about [05:20] SeaPhor: what did you mean then? [05:21] majin_jon, yea it would be better to have the drivers. Have you tried opening the drivers gui from the terminal? maybe trying it with sudo? [05:21] blubblub, just re-do all that has to do with bluetooth [05:22] knoppies, but that is crushed now... hate to reload server+ [05:22] I mean if your jumping the Ubuntu bandwagon for Gaming your in for a lot of frustrating hours configuring and often times waiting for better support and it can be 6 mo's to a year before the game is playable within wine. [05:22] Bo0m: Can you be more specific than "odd feeling"? [05:22] majin_jon, what do you mean by "that is crushed"? [05:22] knoppies - I just got cairo dock 2.0 and it works.

[06:06] Roasted, though it is default one [06:06] d0brii - ubuntu = gnome, kubuntu = kde [06:06] is what I was getting at :P [06:06] how do I report a bug from the website [06:06] I was reading on some site which said its good to have 150 MB swap and 5 gb as / .. now am confused if I should have had more space for / [06:06] hi, my project about ubuntu install http://eltoloza.comli.com/tutorial/installUbuntu.htm [06:06] I don't use a gui on ubuntu [06:06] Roasted, : default window manager is not equal to distro [06:06] im not speak in english [06:07] The_Doctor: yuck! [06:07] d0brii - Oh I know, but with *buntu theres a flavor for each default window manager. [06:07] d0brii: GNOME is a desktop environment, which involves a lot more functionality than just a window manager. Metacity os the window manager in GNOME. [06:07] jmark, see http://unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/525-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu910-karmic-koala [06:07] jmark Yep. [06:07] nm found it [06:07] jmark, you don't need to reinstall! [06:07] roughly speaking swap is usually good at 1.5-2x installed RAM. For most other things, it's really up to your preference or need. 5GB for / should be ok for most. [06:07] The_Doctor, that's exagerating the situation WRT audio more than a bit... [06:07] hi, my project about ubuntu install http://eltoloza.comli.com/tutorial/installUbuntu.htm [06:08] I know Ubuntu is Debian based and very similar in alot of ways but what do you think the pros and cons between the two are? [06:08] megamanx1978: that is offtopic for this channel. [06:08] Zykotick9: I will check that out [06:08] altf2o, 5GB would be pretty tight; 8+ is better if you have space [06:08] mneptok: right,... but that would be way to confusing for someone who is new in ubuntu? [06:08] The_Doctor: everyone who upgraded and didnt get an updated menu.lst. this number is in the few-hundred range....out of thousands of upgrades [06:08] Here is a link to three pages on the forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1168194 [06:08] Well this is about ubuntu [06:08] hi folks, just installed kubuntu and I dont have b43 firmware, what do i do? [06:09] d0brii: no more so than saying "a distro is more than a window manager." [06:09] for many installs you can get away with it. If unsure, i agree go higher. When i partitioned on my own i normally didn't go less than 10GB for each one, leaving /usr and /home the most. [06:09] anyone has issues with new 9.10 install? [06:09] The_Doctor: note also that many of the people who didnt get an updated menu.lst were actually *asked* if they wanted the menu.lst to be updated and they said "NO" [06:09] mneptok, : I agree, [06:09] Bo0m, don't worry about space, if in the future it becomes a problem you can change it with the ubuntu CD [06:09] CptnAwsome: Try www.linixwireless.org. [06:09] Er, linuxwireless.org. [06:09] ok cool.. thanks pren [06:09] have [06:09] maco not on these pages [06:10] Hey, I was in the ending of the upgrade process when my internet gave out, now its stuck at package 1397, out of 1434. I was able to reconnect, but no luck. [06:10] d0brii: 64bit freshly installed wouldn't boot past grub for me. 9.10 netbook remix, and 9.10 32bit for Desktops (upgrading 9.04->9.10) have both worked great for me. [06:10] The_Doctor: the ones who were not asked have a problem in /etc/kernel-img.conf, a bug that actually existed in 9.04 [06:10] Emerling> uno para cada quien [06:10] The_Doctor: as i said a few hundred people [06:10] altf2o, : what machine? [06:10] maco then meet him for a private chat and fix it. [06:10] The_Doctor: my roommate is the audio guy. he has receved 300-400 bug reports of this [06:11] hi, my project about ubuntu install http://eltoloza.comli.com/tutorial/installUbuntu.htm [06:11] The_Doctor: compared to the number of upgrades...thats probably 2% [06:11] Hi. I'm installing Ubuntu from the alternate CD on a system that used to have Debian Lenny. I want to maintain the encrypted LVM partitions that I already have. How can I do this? Thank you in advance. [06:12] it seams that I am one of few that haven't had any issues, btw DELL machine [06:12] d0brii: netbook remix i installed on my Acer Aspire One netbook (which i'm using now), my desktop workstation is Intel Q6600 based, 2GB RAM\1TB HD\GeForce 8800 GT 512MB [06:12] how can i copy lines from mth line to nth line where i can not count the lines inbetween mth line and nth line? what is the command? [06:13] nic1: wow hahah i dont know what you mean with mth and nth [06:13] altf2o, : 64 bit version have some drivers issues... [06:14] altf2o, : though performance difference is very small [06:14] it worked great from the live CD, but it never booted after install. I gave up after 4 installs [06:14] Looks like the driver is installed. Time for me to reboot and hope for the best. Thanks again guys. Will come back and let you guys know what's happening. Thanks again : ) [06:15] only funny thing is that 9.10 beta was faster than final release [06:16] hi, my project about ubuntu install http://eltoloza.comli.com/tutorial/installUbuntu.htm [06:16] going to watch V 2009 [06:16] kiwifunk: ok..i can mark a line x with mx right? [06:17] okay guys. I'm stuck === Pikachu is now known as Guest93280 [06:17] nic1: please be more especific [06:17] after installing ubuntu and restarting, [06:17] kiwifunk: and now i want to copy lines in between a set of lines...do i make sense? [06:17] I'm [06:17] stuck on "GRUB loading." [06:17] Guest93280, whats the problem? [06:17] is it supposed to take long [06:18] i use mx to mark xth line..i need to copy from line1 to line 99 say but i do not know 99as correct figure..then how can i copy? [06:18] Guest93280, no, there's a problem === cp is now known as Guest80833 [06:18] now I've got minimal bash-file [06:18] howdy [06:18] Guest93280, do you have windows on your grub list? can you boot into that? [06:18] got the list of commands [06:19] it's a minimal bash file-line editing. [06:19] what do I do? [06:19] Guest93280, do you have windows on your grub list? can you boot into that? [06:19] no [06:20] would boot windows work? [06:21] I'm stuck. how to get out? [06:21] Guest93280, you just installed Ubuntu right? I think the installation was not succesful, its not a bootloader problem. i would try to reinstall [06:21] http://bit.ly/19dPM7 [06:21] new ubuntu addon [06:21] ZykoticK9: following the instructions on http://unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/525-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu910-karmic-koala didn't fix my audio issues [06:21] Guest93280, what video card do you have?

[06:23] 2.6.28-15-generic [06:23] Guest93280, did you install ubuntu from a live cd? basically you don't need to unintsall anything , just reinstall, boot from a live cd - come back here and make sure your video card works under linux [06:23] Guest93280: You can either use a windows install CD and "fixmbr" or if you don't have a widnows install CD you can use a tool called super grub disk [06:23] ZykoticK9: 2.6.28-15-generic [06:23] jmark, wrong kernel still! [06:24] Guest93280, i suggest reinstalling ubuntu [06:24] It worth it to upgrade my ubuntu to the new release, or there many bugs? [06:24] pren, I don't want to risk [06:24] it. I [06:24] ZykoticK9: what should it be? [06:24] Guest93280, what risk are you taking? [06:24] I just want to remove this so I can go back to using XP. [06:24] jmark, 2.6.31 i think [06:24] It worth it to upgrade my ubuntu to the new release, or there many bugs? [06:24] I've got important files [06:25] Guest93280: Did you see my comment? [06:25] Jordan_U would I [06:25] have to reinsall XP? [06:25] Guest93280, firstly - you should always back up important files before you install an OS...second - follow what Jordan_U said.... [06:25] Guest93280: No [06:25] guest although windows is important for many things Id recommend trying linux a bit as it is also very useful for many things/peace of mine (site you think got a virus) [06:26] Jordan_U how would I do it? [06:26] mind* [06:26] Does anybody use Cairo Dock? I'm trying to get Cairo Dock to NOT animate the icons I hover over in the dock. [06:26] ZykoticK9: is there a way to upgrade that? not sure why it wasn't done as part of the dist-upgrade [06:26] Guest93280: Do you have a windows install CD? [06:26] Jordan_U yes [06:26] It worth it to upgrade my ubuntu to the new release, or there many bugs? [06:27] jmark, it was SUPPOSE to happen in your upgrade but Grub didn't get the message [06:27] hi guuys [06:27] meh ill just upgrade anyway [06:27] hello [06:27] Guest93280: You need to get to the recovery shell and run "fixmbr". I haven't done it myself, you should try asking in ##windows and they can probably give better directions [06:27] ZykoticK9: so maybe the kernel is there but not configured in grub, hmmm, checking [06:27] Ericthegreat: unless there's a feature you *need*, I would wait... [06:27] Guest93280, is windows already installed? are you just trying to reload the boadloader? [06:27] *bootloader [06:28] question the bootloader won't let [06:28] me [06:28] boot ANYTHING. [06:28] which bootloader? [06:28] Anybody know of a good write up or how to on copying DVD's? [06:28] I'm gonna use the windows cd to delete the partition. [06:29] Hi. why are udev rules split across 2 locations (/etc/udev and /lib/udev) and whats the difference between those 2 locations ? [06:29] Guest93280: That won't get windoes booting again [06:29] jmark, sorry i sent you the wrong link originally http://drowninginbugs.blogspot.com/2009/10/caveats-for-audio-in-910.html [06:29] question grub [06:29] openssh not runing how to start it? [06:29] ohhhh ok, I understand now, I thought you had a different error [06:29] what is the difference between MID & UME editions? [06:29] Guest93280: I can help you try to get grub working properly, and if noone in ##windows can help I can try to walk you through restoring the windows boot loader. [06:30] how can i make kaffeine use gstreamer instead of xine? [06:30] Jordan_U how would I get grub to work properly [06:31] ZykoticK9: my problem now would be i'm not familiar with grub [06:31] Guest93280: Boot from the LiveCD and try installing grub legacy, if you are willing to spend more time I can also try to figure out why grub2 isn't working, but installing grub legacy is fast and will likely get things working [06:32] can anyone tell me how to change my username i know its simple pls !!! [06:32] death_energy: have you installed it? [06:32] CHESLYN, in irc? [06:32] Guest93280: If you aren't booted into a LiveCD now boot into one and join this channel from there [06:32] its by defaul marked in synaptics [06:33] bazhang: no [06:33] Does anybody use Cairo Dock? I'm trying to get Cairo Dock to NOT animate the icons I hover over in the dock. [06:34] death_energy: what does ls -l /etc/init.d/ssh show? [06:34] jmark: What are you trying to do with grub? [06:34] bazhang: the one i login on my pc [06:34] From the CLI, how can I get ubuntu to discover NIC changes? [06:34] dont exist [06:34] Right now ubuntu cant see my NIC [06:34] ubuntu 9.10 cannot seem to find my network printer from System->Administration->Printing->Add New Printer. i can see the printer and computer talk to each other (http://pastebin.com/m6839edd5) but then the ubuntu printing app decides it cant find a printer anyway [06:35] newmember: Does your NIC show up in lspci? [06:35] death_energy: then despite what synaptic says, it's not installed. Try reinstalling... [06:35] same printer is detected no problem in 9.04 [06:35] sorry im talking about openssl [06:35] lspci is a command? [06:35] sorry to ask [06:35] Roasted, Cairo-Dock config -- Animated icons - "when hovering an icon" uncheck everything [06:35] what is the difference between MID & UME editions?

[06:37] newmember: Really? Are you sure you typed it correctly? [06:37] yes it say me something i send to you in private msj [06:37] Roasted, did you click "apply" at the bottom? [06:38] bazhang: the one i login on my pc [06:38] zykotick9 - yep... [06:38] Roasted, don't know then (it certainly is working for me?) [06:38] Roasted, it works for me, but you have to hit apply. [06:38] zykotick9 - at first animated icons wasnt checked, so I checked it cause If igured otherwise it wouldnt care what settings I had inside. So I enabled it and unchecked everything inside. [06:39] CHESLYN, you mean your user login name? [06:39] Roasted, hmm, sounds weird, it works for me. [06:39] knoppies - not for me bro :( [06:39] CHESLYN, system administrations users & groups [06:39] Roasted, I also have animations off. My PC needs a better vid card. [06:39] Roasted, the fire animation looks AWSOME though. [06:40] knoppies - Ill mess around with the animations, I just dont want the dock to expand as I hover over it. I feel like my clicking is very inaccurate then. [06:40] Jordan_U: lspci [06:40] Jordan_U: does that look right [06:40] Roasted, that setting isnt under animations, its under something else [06:40] newmember: Yes [06:40] Roasted, I hate that too. Thats what I hate about macs dock as well. [06:40] knoppies - oh... that's what I've been looking for :P [06:40] anyone here use newsgroups? i need a decent newsreader that supports ssl [06:40] Roasted, let me go find it quick [06:40] pan doesnt [06:40] I do see the e1000 in the dmesg [06:40] billybigrigger: Pan [06:41] Roasted, icons ZOOM EFFECT [06:41] mneptok, pan doesn't support ssl [06:41] Roasted, set max zoom of icon =1.00 [06:41] I think there aren't that many newsgroups clients [06:41] pan, thunderbird [06:41] is there anything like quanta für ubuntu? [06:41] Jordan_U: I do see the e1000 in the dmesg [06:41] knoppies - GAH. AWesome! [06:41] My ISP killed their newsserver last month [06:41] knoppies - thx bro [06:41] again [06:41] Roasted, you can even reduce the space in which the icons will be effective, and increase space between icons. [06:41] :P [06:41] Roasted: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:41] Roasted, NO prob. Now go play with the animations, they awsome.

[06:44] billybigrigger: use stunnel [06:44] Jordan_U: sure, it has been working great for the last week, until I went changed the NIC [06:44] Jordan_U: if by "installed" you mean do I have it running [06:44] fbc-mx, install spamassassin, evolution has a plugin to work with that [06:45] newmember: No, it's a package "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-minimal" [06:46] hey who runs this channel? === oifao is now known as tas [06:46] Madpilot, I expected something better... That has been the answer since v7.04 when I started with ubuntu. One of the reasons I never used evotion was because setting up the spam filter was a feat. [06:47] tas: Why? [06:47] fbc-mx, install spamassassin, make sure the evo spamassassin plugin is enabled (it should be by default) and start marking stuff as Junk... [06:47] Jordan_U: because I'm curious, I would like to talk to whoever runs this channel [06:48] bazhang: its empty [06:48] got my pc fixed. but no ubuntu. [06:49] Madpilot, you're telling me it's as easy as that now?? wow... I might switch back from thunderbird... even though it has the lighting plugin that gives it calendaring features. [06:49] how can I get mp4 support in rhythem box [06:49] tas: You can join #ubuntu-ops but it's not a discussion channel. You can get a lot of information about the ubuntu channels and documetation / source code for the Ubuntu bots on the Ubuntu wiki [06:51] Guest89444: Would you like to try to get Ubuntu booting?

[07:06] MFawzy which process is using all the % [07:06] anyone know much about coroutines in python? respond tas: [07:06] Bo0m, you should not have a root password to begin with [07:06] then drop to root shell then [07:06] join #freenode [07:06] type in [07:06] tas try #python [07:06] passwd [07:06] bazhang, : but I thought we need admin access to install applications? [07:07] Bo0m, using sudo [07:07] sudo and su are different? argh ! [07:07] MFawzy, : Thanks [07:07] yep [07:07] ok so its sudo apt - get install xine [07:07] doesn't sudo mean "super user do" ?

[07:09] Bo0m, sudo -i on rare occasions, but generally always sudo [07:09] ah :) thnx [07:09] this is awesome. [07:09] when you do sudo its asking for a password, which password is it?? [07:10] I mean is it asking for the root's password? [07:10] bazhang : most is "gnome-system-mo" [07:10] moderated, for xchat it is /join #freenode or simply /j #freenode [07:10] and I don't know what this is ? :D [07:10] Bo0m: It is the password from the first account [07:10] Bo0m, in what situation? installing something? [07:10] bazhang, : yes installing something [07:11] MFawzy, gnome-system-monitor ? [07:11] buzhang after this comes Xorg === JoeSomebody2 is now known as JoeSomebody [07:11] Bo0m, the sudo pass [07:11] @}-->---BR?---<--{@ === simon_ is now known as Guest81053 [07:11] !br | WirlynthoN [07:11] WirlynthoN: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[07:12] b3low_m3, use sudo -i if absolutely necessary , not sudo su [07:12] Bo0m: It is the password from the first account [07:12] buzhang: now most % process is Xorg followed by pidgin ! [07:12] its asking for your password [07:12] lol am sorry but isnt the first account a user?? [07:13] Bo0m: yes [07:13] Bo0m, yes, and sudo elevates the user privileges for a short time [07:13] then why is it asking users password when it shld be asking admins? [07:13] bazhang if I use su - im logging in as root [07:13] ya, I'm still here. sorry about that. [07:13] I see.. so am right in saying there is no password for root while installing, right? [07:13] b3low_m3, that is so wrong, especially on irc [07:13] Bo0m: The first installed account has admin privileges in Ubuntu [07:13] it gives you admin rights for that instance [07:14] Bo0m, correct; just your user (sudo) password [07:14] !netsplit [07:14] 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 [07:14] @}-->---#ubuntu-br---<--{@ [07:14] I'm using x-Chat, it was the first option in the ubuntu lib that caught my eye. You got any other suggestions? [07:14] moderated, to highlight others in such a busy channel, type the first three or so letters, then hit the tab key and you complete their nickname [07:14] hi, any luck with connecting exchange 2007 to evolution, the evolution irc is dead [07:15] bazhang, thanks! [07:15] moderated, so for me would be baz key and it would highlight me [07:15] bazhang, that rules! awesome tip. [07:15] moderated, there is weechat and irssi if you want to use command line clients [07:15] shwack : the %cpu is alternating all the time ! [07:16] moderated: I use chatzilla, FF plugin [07:16] bazhang, : So the first user created in Ubuntu is admin? I mean if I create a user account for my wife and she has to install a application, its gonna need my password? [07:16] bazhang, gnome enabled is fine... =O) [07:16] moderated, additionally there is channel #xchat and they have quite good documentation on their site [07:16] shwack: but most is pidgin or Xorg :) [07:16] Bo0m, you can give new users admin rights [07:16] Bo0m: you can add her to sudoers [07:16] hey guys, is there a modelling app that can export to sql for relational database's [07:17] ok cool.. I will look it up. [07:17] thanks : ) [07:17] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html moderated here is a nice book on some stuff more broadly ubuntu [07:17] bazhang, thanks for holding my hand. I'm going to add xchat to my fav's. [07:17] Bo0m: better create a power user group and add your wifi's account to that group [07:17] kumar: how do you add someone to sudoers [07:17] yeh will do [07:18] how do I set my tv tuner card on boot? [07:18] CHESLYN: avoid sudoers list, better create a group using GUI and user to that group [07:18] CHESLYN: sudo nano /etc/sudoers [07:18] moderated, to get autojoin on channels, click xchat network list then highlight ubuntu servers and hit edit and add the channels #channel,#channel,#etc to autojoin [07:18] IMHO, dont add anyone to sudoers, create a poweruser group and accounts to it [07:19] for information on a given command you can get the manual page too with man [07:19] Is there a way to use only the calendar of Evolution and not the mail part... or do I have to put a email and disallow it to import or do anything [07:19] bazhang: may I PM u ? I just started to get lost in all this :D === jacob_ is now known as Guest76073 [07:19] bazhang, awesome [07:19] moderated additionally you should consider putting your registered user password in the server login field in xchat preferences so you are logged in automatically when you join irc [07:19] wbmj: what do you mean [07:19] CHESLYN, kumar, wbmj: Don't use nano. Use visudo (sudoers even says this). *never* edit sudoers with something other than visudo. And yes, don't edit sudoers anyway, just add people to the admin group, which will give them the ability to sudo. [07:19] kumar: thnx [07:20] agree with Flannel [07:20] moderated, for instance if you get a cloak via #freenode [07:20] bazhang, you've been doing this for a while. I can tell. [07:20] any luck with exchange 2007 and evolution? I dont want to boot into XP [07:20] I want to strip the sounds from an ogv, edit it and then put it back [07:21] moderated, not very long in truth. not much to know to be honest (just a few commands) [07:21] the sticking point is the stripping right now oddly [07:21] I can do it all but the only way I know to strip requires the full length of the video to get all of the sound === [A]KangB is now known as [A]Way [07:21] skyl check audacity, I used it once for editing MP3s and creating primate sound presentation for museum of natural history [07:21] bazhang, Thanks for taking the time. === josh_ is now known as QQ_ghost [07:22] skyl, I guess I didnt get you [07:22] moderated, it's why we are here :) [07:22] mplayer -vo null -ao pcm:file=mysound.wav myvideo0.ogv works to strip out the audio but it ... like plays it .. so my hour long video takes an hour [07:22] Sry for asking again, Is there a way to use only the calendar of Evolution and not the mail??? [07:23] bazhang, true [07:23] moderated: you should bow down to penguins :P === hy is now known as silver [07:24] so I will take it, no one had any luck with Evolution and Exchange2007 [07:24] I can't get samba shares to work.. They are showing up on my mac when I go in to the computer, but for some reason, I am unable to access them. I have tried removing samba and nautilus-share then reisntalling, but it doesnt work [07:24] kumar, is that an irc client? I know I bow every time I boot my desktop, laptop and netbook. all I run is ubuntu. [07:24] not used to the new init... could someone tell me how to permanently set up a driver? [07:24] it loads, but not conf properly [07:25] moderated: no, its not IRC client, its an email client, like Outlook [07:25] guys any help ? here ? [07:25] MFawzy, with streamlining? [07:26] what is "steamlining" :d? [07:26] kumar, my bad. I've herd of it. what do you think of thunderbird? [07:26] MFawzy, thought your system was using too much cpu [07:26] yes [07:26] kumar, dosn't it have an irc plugin? [07:26] I will try it, evolution is the official mail/calendar client for Gnome [07:27] bazhang, :) I have tons of process and I don't know which is which :) [07:27] MFawzy, any special themes or addons recently put in? how much ram, what video card and which driver and how was it installed [07:27] moderated: I am trying to connect to Microsoft Exchange mail server [07:27] moderated: for IRC, I have Chatzilla in FireFox [07:27] Flannel: thanks so just to know there is no other way [07:28] CHESLYN: no other way than what? [07:28] bazhang, I'm using an onboard intel video card [07:28] MFawzy, with Jaunty? or Karmic (9.04 or 9.10) [07:28] Ubuntu 9.10, I have samba installed, supposedly configured correctly and 2 folders on my NTFS partition shared, yet the other two computers on this home network (Windows Vista machines) can't see me...what am I doing wrong? [07:28] kumar, what's your background? why are ya playing with Exchange? [07:28] bazhang, nothing extra since jaunty [07:29] bazhang, I'm now on karmic [07:29] MFawzy, so its not the jaunty intel bug then [07:30] Flannel: thanks just wanted to know [07:30] MFawzy, are you running compiz? lots of extensions in firefox? [07:30] moderated: I am a developer, my client uses MS Exchange, I have to use web interface to login and web interface time outs :( [07:30] kumar, asp? [07:30] bazhang, runing nothing extra but awn ! , but I've using it since jaunty and every thing was great ! I do use compiz and about 4 or 5 extensions :D [07:31] MFawzy, I would suggest its compiz and awn slowing things down, there are other dock type option out there if you need them [07:31] moderated: I am a PHP guy, no ASP, is the client, their organisation uses MS Exchange as a mail server [07:31] how to switch keyboard layout to colemak [07:31] Flannel: so what is visudo? [07:31] kumar, My people! I'm a php developer to. [07:31] bazhang, but they were ok while I was on jaunty ! [07:32] kumar: you can use POP or IMAP to speak to Exchange, if the admin has such connectivity enabled. [07:32] Flannel: is it the same as sudo [07:32] CHESLYN: Its an editor that protects your sudoers file from syntax errors. But really, you don't need to edit it to add people, just add them to the admin group. [07:32] kumar, run any websites? [07:32] kumar, have you googled for any good how-to? [07:32] moderated: kool, how do I check if admin has enable POP or IMAP? [07:32] MFawzy, not sure as I dont use compiz on my intel [07:33] I'm trying to access samba shares I've created in ubuntu, everything is showing up on remote computers (an my local one), but when I try to open the actual shared folders i get errors such as unable to mount location. failed to mount windows share [07:33] moderated: I run wehostlampsites.com and my own blog, kumarchetan.com [07:33] bazhang, I forgot to tell u that using another kernel is faster but I couldn't log in to my user ! I only logged in to another 1 :) [07:33] Ubuntu 9.10, I have samba installed, supposedly configured correctly and 2 folders on my NTFS partition shared, yet the other two computers on this home network (Windows Vista machines) can't see me...what am I doing wrong? [07:33] MFawzy, which kernel would that be? [07:33] NoTownKasper, ha looks like I'm having the same problem [07:33] moderated: I googled for evolution and exchange, gotta google for connect exchange using IMAP [07:34] well I'm not sure of the n# but it was older than the latest one anyway :D [07:34] now that karmic loads X early in the booting proccess.. its a pain to make it stop so it loads. Is X being damaged when lets say i do sudo shutdown -r now ? i mean does it stop it dead in its tracks? is X doing its natural rebooting or ... what happens? [07:34] doofy: I don't know, I can access my shared folders from the machine they're stored on, the remote machines that can't see it. lol [07:34] can anyone suggest a program like mathematica that is free? [07:35] Gah. What's the code for forcing update-manager to behave nicely? gconf-something... I want my update icon back, not this popup crap. [07:35] kumar, you could use http://phpmailer.worxware.com/index.php?pg=phpmailer [07:36] Flannel: ok [07:36] Whats the easiest way to set up a mail server that forwards all incoming mail to my user accounts mailbox (it's for app testing)? === hans is now known as Chris___ [07:37] I have a question: if I remove a hdd with ubuntu 9.04 and plug in another system (let say: remove from Core 2 Duo system and plug in Intel Atom system), can it work straight away? (I don't want to wipe out the hdd and re-install everything from scratch again.) [07:37] *plug it in [07:38] moderated: actually, I am on Ubuntu and I want to download my mails from exchange server using Evolution or any other client as I would normally do on XP using Outlook [07:38] kumar, it handles smtp, pop, and sendmail out the box. The function is setup so you could easily switch between smtp, etc if one dosn't work. [07:38] kumar, sorry I miss understood your msg. [07:38] staaleu: control your domain name and point it to Google Apps for mail service, any other services are pointed to your server === kb is now known as Guest30110 [07:39] moderated: you dont need to be sorry, I may have not been clear enough [07:40] Ubuntu 9.10, I have samba installed, supposedly configured correctly and 2 folders on my NTFS partition shared, yet the other two computers on this home network (Windows Vista machines) can't see me...what am I doing wrong? [07:40] hey guys im having some issues with samba on ubuntu server 9.10 [07:40] kumar, if you have access but is't intermittent I'm not sure. [07:40] heh...Samba is a popular topic tonight. :P [07:40] i have everythign configured according to the help page, but for some reason its not liking where i have my share. also it seems like i have no rw access [07:40] NoTownKasper: you are still using Windows Vista thats wrong :P [07:41] kumar: he aint the only one [07:41] kumar: Isn't my idea...my mother and father's computers. [07:41] im trying to back up my data so i can downgrade to xp granted i will only be using have the amount of ram i have in here till i get 64bit 7 [07:41] eagles0513875: NoTownKasper that ws a bad joke, dont take it otherwise [07:41] kumar: its true windows vista is wrong though [07:41] Ok now on Xchat how do you disable the user notifications [07:41] kumar: Funny thing is, I totally agree with you, but there's nothin' I can do about it. lol [07:42] kbp, thanks for the tip, but I set up postfix with localmail only seems to work for my purpose. [07:42] A-Rishi, settings --> preferences ? [07:42] NoTownKasper: you know my bro in law prefres Ubuntu to XP and he didnt even know how to attach a file in gmail [07:42] don't try coping more then 1gig of data between Vista and XP using a drive share. It crashes every time. [07:42] How can I install lspci from cdrom? [07:43] moderated: I may try thunderbird and I will also google for connecting to exchange using IMAP [07:43] bazhang, nothing there === cp is now known as Guest95600 [07:44] A-Rishi, are you referring to the flashing when you are highlighted? or something other === kb is now known as Guest99750 [07:44] bazhang: ok got it, Had to use "/set irc_conf_mode on" [07:44] hello [07:45] is there any one that knows avidemux? [07:45] question to the room: does ubuntu need a defragmenter or some sort of program to upkeep/matnance the data? [07:45] Silent_Echo: no [07:45] kumar, Exchange should support IMAP. With google gmail being free for up-to 50 users why aren't they using that instead of spending bux on MS fluff ware? [07:45] songer, possibly, why not ask you real question [07:46] does Synaptic play nice with apt-get? IOW, can I do things both ways (as a noob) and they dont get confused? Something installed one way shows via the other way, etc? [07:46] Silent_Echo: actually you can't defragment ext2/3/4-FS. you'd have to copy all your data on a fresh created fs to do so [07:46] moderated: if I find answer for this question, it will solve the biggest mystery, why enterprises and corporations use MS products [07:47] Nautilus, yes of course they do [07:47] ok, I want to convert videos from youtube, but it says save (A=V) will generate bad avi. save audio will work [07:47] :) [07:47] Nautilus: apt-get and synaptic install stuff to same drive and update same database [07:48] * Nautilus has been looking in synaptic for nxserver(?) but cant find it. [07:48] root [07:48] songer, flv to avi? [07:48] Nautilus: so if u apt-get some thing synaptic will show it installed and you can remove it using synaptic [07:48] kumar: nice, glad to hear [07:48] moderated: they could also replace exchange with dovecot on linux [07:48] kumar, It's white lableable and ad's only show using the gmail web interface. It's a free enterprise mail solution!? People are goofy. [07:48] hi [07:48] mp4 [07:48] kumar, true.

[07:51] songer let me check something [07:51] moderated: google charges though if they want to have it with their own domain instead of @gmail.com [07:51] if anyone knows offhand how I can install nxserver via synaptic or exact apt-get cmd, I'd appreciate it, otherrwise I'll do more reading tomorrow.

[08:25] kostkon: sudo apt-get install lib32nss-mdns the package is there for amd64 right, mine is intel [08:25] I've got an old box running linux that i don't use anymore, any suggestions on what I should do with it? [08:25] Thanks [08:25] need help installing grub2 [08:25] ramandv: amd64 works on intel too, excep ia64 [08:25] can someone here guide me in patching the kernel? [08:25] ramandv, amd64 means 64bit in general. it's just the arch that is called like this [08:26] NoTownKasper: if you run smbtree can you see the shares? [08:26] can anyone please answer my question is there an other tools to config your nic beside mii-tools and ethtool? [08:26] I should partition the area of 50 1 gig for Ubuntu, when space I put to root and home? [08:26] ActionParsnip: No, but I can see their machines listed... [08:26] KingDong_: ifconfig can do it or /etc/network/interfaces === ce_BT is now known as ce_atmosphere [08:27] but it cant config duplex [08:27] NoTownKasper: then its not configured right [08:27] help pls.. what's the command in the terminal to edit the video modes? something like /X11/confg sumthing like that [08:27] cant install ubuntu 9.10 grub2 bootloader will not install [08:27] ActionParsnip: I kinda figured...that's why I said 'supposedly' configured right. lol [08:27] I should partition the area of 50 1 gig for Ubuntu, when space I putin giga to root and home?

[08:29] now when I reboot my pc the partition name changed, how do I access that partition back with same name [08:29] it set to 54mb/s aka half [08:29] Hi have installed ubuntu 9.10, I had 4 partition, with help of virtual box I have installed windows on part of partition and uses the name of that partition as 3482x0 now when I reboot my pc the partition name changed, how do I access that partition back with same name [08:29] kostkon: llutz: i m getting "E: Couldn't find package lib32nss-mdns", if i try ito install by downloading the package :"wrong arch am64" [08:29] how can I find out what the users and groups are on my ubuntu server 9.10?

[08:30] ramandv, do you have really use 64bit ubuntu or the 32bit ver? [08:30] KingDong, 54MB half? You're talking wireless right? [08:30] ramandv: load the amd64-version [08:30] really have* [08:30] I need to set to full for some reason 9.10 set it that way and now webbrowsing is painful [08:30] ActionParsnip: no... [08:30] I should partition the area of 50 1 gig for Ubuntu, when space I putin giga to root and home? [08:30] yes greeze [08:30] greezmonkey [08:30] NoTownKasper: worth a try [08:30] ramandv, killed the sentence. anyway, 32 or 64bit ubuntu? [08:30] 08:59 < judgen> hmm ign visar info om spelet, men developer sidan verkar vara borta... synd som tusan. [08:30] 08:59 < yeager> HeMan, min burk har låst sig flera gånger.. nu kom det visst en uppdatering i -proposed [08:30] blah wrong button [08:31] How can I configure X to start listening on 6000 port ? from the running preocesses I see :/usr/bin/X :0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-gPsRaG/database -nolisten tcp vt7 [08:31] polis: 10Gb /, 1xRAM for swap, rest for home is my recommendation [08:31] I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 [08:31] is there a program where I can see users and groups and assign them for ubuntu server? [08:31] greezmonkey it the only thing I can figure out as when on Jaunty it was my nice fast spped, but now it slow as heck [08:31] tahanks action [08:31] tanks action [08:31] ActionParsnip: ...well, it couldn't kill the process because it doesn't exist...then it started it back up again. lol. But shouldn't it have started automagically upon reboot? [08:32] How to rename harddisk partition in ubuntu 9.10 [08:32] NoTownKasper: sure but samba should work and its not so we need to investigate don't we [08:32] KingDong, what tells you it's 54MB half? [08:32] !label | Pranky [08:32] Pranky: To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive. [08:32] action file system ext3 o 4 [08:32] ActionParsnip: Indeed. [08:32] /quir [08:32] polis: i'd investigate that for your own needs [08:32] /quit [08:32] How can I configure X to start listening on 6000 port ? from the running preocesses I see :/usr/bin/X :0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-gPsRaG/database -nolisten tcp vt7 [08:33] kostkon: uname -a "Linux v-ubuntu 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux" [08:33] NoTownKasper: i can send you my smb.conf if you like, its the CLI way of doing it (much easier imho), you should also run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER and type the logon password as your samba password [08:33] Ranakah, 32bit then [08:33] ramandv: so you nee 32bit-version to load [08:34] ramandv, that's why you can't install it. it's for 64bit systems only [08:34] ActionParsnip: I'd rather not have a password involved if possible... [08:34] ramandv, i mean the package [08:34] KingDong, aren't wireless nics half duplex by nature, I mean other than hardware that is specifically set up to use multipath like N? I admit I should probably read up on that more... [08:34] llutz: how can i figure out the processor or os is 64 bit or 32 bit? [08:34] NoTownKasper: i can send my config, its easy to read [08:34] action,I wanted to know the file system I put ext3 [08:35] NoTownKasper: http://pastebin.com/f1a2fd9ca [08:35] ActionParsnip: Feel free...but just a warning...all of this is completely over my head...I'm just somewhat decent at bluffing my way through. lol [08:35] using a packaged eclipse, where am I supposed to put the eclipse configuration ? (the info put in eclipse.ini usually) [08:35] ramandv, your cpu is 64bit but you use the 32bit ver of ubuntu [08:35] polis: if you want to use ext3 then use it [08:35] ok tnks [08:35] NoTownKasper: if you scroll to the the bottom you will see its very human readable [08:35] I dont believe they are, but as I said greezmoneky I cant see nothing else wrong. Since 9.10 I cant use ethtool internet and webbrowsing painfully slow [08:36] ActionParsnip: if you want a passwordless samba share, why not just use a fat partition? most everything can mount fat [08:36] NoTownKasper: the name in the brackets is the share name, the rest is obvios [08:36] llutz: kostkon : where can i get the lib32nss-mdns [08:36] blurry: fat is ridiculously non-robust [08:36] ActionParsnip: robust enough to be a holding pen. [08:37] After hello [08:37] blurry: robust to lose data on hard power offs without graceful unmount [08:37] All I want is a tool to config my nic duplex you think linux would have a ton [08:37] ActionParsnip: most things do fail if you unplug them, i agree. [08:37] blurry: using fat wouldn't solve samba-problems, because the fs wouldn't be mounted direct [08:37] KingDong, have you run a tcpdump to see if there is anything else getting in the way, retrans, etc. Then there's always driver issues. What type of wireless card? [08:38] ramandv, i think this is what you need to install: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libnss-mdns [08:38] ramandv, libnss-mdns [08:38] ActionParsnip: Hrm...looking at your smb.conf, I decided to check mine...my 'shared' folders aren't listed anywhere in there...yet nautilus seems to think they're shared just fine. :\ [08:38] llutz: can't the file be manipulated while it's in the fat partition? [08:38] ramandv, use synaptic or just sudo apt-get install libnss-mdns [08:38] NoTownKasper: i'm not sure where the gui method keeps the share method, i always go old school [08:39] ActionParsnip: I try to avoid messing with .conf files whenever possible...gives me a bloody headache every eim. [08:39] *time [08:39] NoTownKasper: if you use my file as a template, you can change the data to match what you wish to share [08:39] KingDong, are you useing firefox? [08:40] ActionParsnip: I could...but I would really rather use the GUI... [08:40] NoTownKasper: then you will hate linux when you get a little deeper, there isnt a pretty gui for everything [08:40] anyone on that can help me with my raid 5? [08:40] blurry: remote computers only see a share, independent of the FS the share originally has [08:41] NoTownKasper: keep it as a backup, if the gui turns out to suck you can always fall back on it [08:41] llutz: exactly [08:41] ActionParsnip: And we could debate whether or not that's the biggest reason linux will never surpass windows as a desktop machine. ;) Seriously though, looks like I don't have much choice. [08:41] moshi2 [08:41] KingDong, This may help...http://en.opensuse.org/Disable_IPv6_for_Firefox [08:41] NoTownKasper: why does it ave to surpass it? [08:42] NoTownKasper desktops for dummies [08:42] llutz: but that doesn't address the read/write issues across different filesystems. so there're things like ntfs3g and samba/ldap [08:42] when a fat partition does all of that inherently [08:42] hi guys, what package did hardy had that makes me able to use my se phone for internet. I can just plug it in, select "Phone Mode" and I'm connected in Hardy, but come Jaunty it doesn't work. [08:42] may i get some help ? [08:42] NoTownKasper: theres always this Linux vs windows and it just doesnt exist. If linux suits your needs better than windows, use it, if windows suits them better, use windows [08:42] as long as you are dumb and wealthy, then you might as well not use a computer but if you do use one, don't use linux [08:43] greezmonkey yes firefox [08:43] ah... too late. I'm running out of internet time. [08:43] NoTownKasper: if it did "surpass it" then what happens? Nothing will change at all [08:43] can some 1 help me in samba .. iwanna share a file [08:43] and Ive done that greeze thx though [08:43] KingDong, try this, worked for me: http://en.opensuse.org/Disable_IPv6_for_Firefox [08:43] hi... I'm new... can somebody tell me how to install cairo dock?? [08:43] NoTownKasper: think about it [08:44] don't let the url fool you, it's all the same. [08:44] !info cairo-dock [08:44] cairo-dock (source: cairo-dock): A light and eye-candy dock to launch your programs (metapackage). In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.9-0ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 8 kB, installed size 36 kB [08:44] ActionParsnip: Linux suits my needs better by being more secure...and frankly, performing faster with almost everything I do...and by being tons cheaper...but this whole, "If you don't know how to do such-and-such via command line, go back to windows." attitude, bugs the hell out of me. [08:44] petx: sudo apt-get install cairo-dock [08:44] KingDong, perform the proceedure, then restart FF, ok. [08:44] NoTownKasper: sometimes there isnt an alternative [08:44] I've been running a raid5 for several months, but last week 4 drives went down(Power), thats fixed but I can't seem to get the raid to mount again... Any suggestions? [08:45] NoTownKasper: if an action doesnt have a gui, you are free to create your own [08:45] ActionParsnip: If I was good enough to create my own GUI, I wouldn't need one. lol [08:45] how can I use gnome-shell on startup and not load gnome-panel, compiz etc.? [08:45] NoTownKasper: then you have a catch22 [08:45] Peon42: mknod? [08:46] ActionParsnip: Story of my life. lol [08:46] greezmoneky it litterally take like 20 sec for google to load [08:46] it very painful [08:46] lol [08:46] KingDong, did you disable ipv6? [08:46] NoTownKasper: looks like you'll just haveto suck it up, you'll learn more about the OS if you mess with config files [08:46] ActionParsnip: I don't want to learn more about the OS...I just want it to do what I tell it to. lmao. Yes, I'm lazy. [08:46] yeah Ive done that [08:46] NoTownKasper: your call [08:47] and the usually tweaks [08:47] You restart it? [08:47] NoTownKasper: not learning is stopping you from doing what you want to do though [08:47] anyone here know how to patch the kernel? [08:47] everything from main-repo is GPL? or are there other free licences too? [08:47] yep yep [08:47] Yea, after disabling ipv6, restart FF [08:47] q0_0p: is there a kernel wedge tool? [08:47] mdadm [08:47] q0_0p: get kernel-source, get a patch, read "man patch" [08:47] Oh, still no good, huh [08:47] ActionParsnip: Actually, a flaw in the implimentation of the GUI I was using to tell it to do what it's supposed to do, is what's keeping it from doing what I told it to do. [08:48] naw [08:48] NoTownKasper: log a bug then, it will be attended. in the meantime you will ave to workaround [08:48] maybe Ill just go nack to Juanty [08:48] llutz, if i have kernel 2.6.30.7 can i use patch 2.6.30.9? [08:48] it work flawless for me [08:48] ActionParsnip, I have install the cairo dock, so what should I do then?? [08:48] buongiorno a tutti/e [08:48] KingDong, have you cehcked the interface (ifconfig) to see if you are taking errors? [08:49] ActionParsnip: Indeed, and I'll be using it until I figure out how to get the GUI to do it. And thanks for putting up with my stubbornness. lol [08:49] checked [08:49] petx, run it [08:49] petx: launch it from the applications menu [08:49] Hi again [08:49] NoTownKasper: its your system dude.

[08:54] petx: you should log on as your user and run your system, logging on as root is not supported [08:54] guess I could just go back to Jaunty [08:55] What about drivers then, I ran into some issues when I loaded 9.10. found some posts that helped. what type of card do you have? [08:55] ActionParsnip, kostkon, oh, sry I didnt understand yet, but I logged on as a user.. now the cairo is running... thx.. ^^ [08:55] Hello? [08:56] petx, :) [08:56] I am having the same Dramas with 9.10 installation [08:56] petx: groovy :). you probably had some sudo -s going on so the ~ is /root rather than /home/$USER === root is now known as Guest53384 [08:56] I followed the factoid [08:56] ActionParsnip....is ubuntu master [08:56] but it didnt help [08:56] 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device [08:56] it just went back to just hanging in grub [08:56] smwn: not really, just no a lot of the basic stuff that folks ask in here all the time [08:57] take a compliment [08:57] your good [08:57] smwn: thanks man :) [08:57] KingDong, I'd like to sit up and tweak on this with you, but I have to get up in the morning...g'night. [08:57] can someone help me [08:57] I have a weird problem. I began with Ubuntu 9.04 a few months ago. When I d/l 9.10 ( a 5 hour experience) it did not install and just now I see that I am actually running Ubuntu 8.10 [08:57] What's wrong? [08:57] I tried to install 9.10 [08:58] it reboots but sits in command prompt saying ´Grub´ [08:58] littledigger - did you do an upgrade or fresh install? [08:58] fresh [08:58] it doesnt give me the 1024x768 opyion [08:58] tried 5 times [08:58] option [08:58] did 9.04 work for you? [08:59] yes [08:59] !who | billy [08:59] billy: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [08:59] hi. === Slasher01 is now known as slasher01 [08:59] k [08:59] 9.10 i believe (could be wrong) is ext4 by default - that is one diff. it also uses grub2 instead of grub - that is another diff between upgrading and fresh installs [08:59] I would consider installing 9.04 and upgrading [08:59] Did anyone see my question? [08:59] I am thinking of backing up my whole system partition by partition. [08:59] Scorch2: yes i did [08:59] Scorch2: so whats up [08:59] but, I want to be able to grow partitions, and still restore from backup. [08:59] so how do I fix it [09:00] Cool. Can help? [09:00] i don [09:00] Scorch2: can try [09:00] dont have much knowledge on linux [09:00] I consider dd if=/dev/sdaX of=devdump.rootfs [09:00] sobersabre: backup to tar-archives or use rsync, don't use images [09:00] make a 9.04 install cd from an .iso image - boot your comp from that CD and do a fresh 9.04 install [09:00] Scorch2: but please use my nick in messages or it wont highlight and ill miss it [09:00] How did 9.04 suddenly turn into 8.10 during 9.10 install??? [09:00] then upgrade to 9.10 after you have everything working [09:00] indus:it doesnt give me the 1024x768 option [09:00] Sorry indus [09:00] Hi. A friend just installed 9.10 with an ATI card, but after changing the settings in Catalyst Control Centre to what he wants, after rebooting they revert back to how they were. Any ideas what the problem is? [09:00] Scorch2: its not possible, maybe you really had only 8.10 [09:01] okay [09:01] Also: these are just random suggestions [09:01] hi, how can i set interface to get ip from dhcp and to use manualy inserted nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf? i edited /etc/network/interfaces for dhcp IP but with this option my /resolv.conf is automaticaly modified with dhcps nameservers [09:01] llutz: do you mean to simply tar zcf rootfs.tgz / ? [09:01] i'm not in the position to give you official advice [09:01] will that preserve symlinks, etc. ? [09:01] but will doing fresh install from 9.04 to 9.10 wipe out 9.10 [09:01] littledigger: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-grub-2-on-ubuntu-9.04 [09:01] and can I rsync locally ? [09:01] I've just noticed you aren't receiving any other answers/suggetsions so I'm telling you what I would try [09:01] sobersabre: kinda, yes [09:01] sorry wipe out .+.10 [09:01] Indus:Nope. I was a fresh install on new sys. Worked great for 3 months - until I d/l 9.10 [09:01] littledigger: you could run the updates in the live CD (if you have the RAM), it may help [09:01] depending on how you do it [09:01] Youc ould tell the installer to install 9.04 side by side [09:02] or you could delete the partition and start new [09:02] sobersabre: rsync works local too, yes [09:02] Hey, does anyone know if there's a simple-ish VNC solution available in the reositories? I've used Hamachi until now, but it seems that it's gone Windoze-exclusive, so I'd kind of like something that's still supported... [09:02] Scorch2: can we see output of uname -a [09:02] how come 9.10 won; just run from fresh install [09:02] aldin: modify your dhclient.config [09:02] Could someone please help me, I was using ubuntu to write an essay, a freak power outage occured, and now a good chunk of my essay is gone. I'd set up abiword to autosave every five minutes, but I can't find the "backup" of my essay anywhere. Could the part of my essay, which was presumably autosaved before the power outage still be salvaged or is it lost? [09:02] is there something wrong with the iso [09:02] is there a way to completely reinstall/reset grub2? [09:02] oops, I mean replace ubuntu with abiword [09:02] billy try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1306532 if it wont work i have more links :D [09:03] littledigger could be - if you haven't tried burning another copy I might try it [09:03] Indus: Can you walk me thru that? [09:03] Mark tightvnc? [09:03] Boulevardie: Is it in the folder you were in, with a '~' character before it? Nautilus sometimes hides those files. [09:03] Scorch2: in a terminal , type uname -a [09:03] Boulevardie: make sure you have ticked "show hidden and backup files" in nautilus preferences [09:03] i installed 9.10 and it doesnt give me 1024x768 option,it only goes to 800x600 [09:03] littledigger but like I said - the two differences between fresh install and upgrade are ext4 file system and grub 2 - either of those changes could be causing the hangup [09:03] yes this is the second copy [09:03] KingDong_: That could work, I'll try it. Thanks! [09:03] z_tau: can just press ctrl+h ;) [09:03] help pls.. everytime i reboot my ubuntu i get this error msg..

[09:08] Scorch2: why do you think you wuold be running 8.10 ? [09:08] Sorry. I was answering Indus [09:08] indus: well its not doing it automatically, so some sort of intervention is needed, isnt it [09:09] ActionParsnip: yeah it sucks really [09:09] Scorch2: so you see, its 9.04 [09:09] billy: There might be a way to check for restricted drivers...try System->Administration->Restricted Drivers [09:09] indus: bet its an ati thing [09:09] llutz: I've launched rsync -ax / /home/Backup/rootfs [09:09] (with -v too) [09:09] ActionParsnip: its intel [09:09] Vega: cause when I looked at help that is the version that showed [09:09] ActionParsnip: intel is worst in this case since 9.04, i thought they took care of it in karmic [09:09] mataks: can you give the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [09:09] waiting... how long do you think a SATA disk would take rsync of ~4GB of stuff ? [09:09] indus: specially since they removed xorg.conf [09:09] or at least fix pulseaudio that's not working. [09:09] Ok. My bad. So where is 9.10?? [09:10] something like 50-60MB/sec... right ? [09:10] sobersabre: not very long, make sure to use sudo / root-rights [09:10] ActionParsnip, here 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7300 GT] (rev a1) [09:10] irc.wyldryde.org [09:10] ActionParsnip: yes exactly, how on earth do we fix this now :( [09:10] llutz: what do you mean ? I'm root :) [09:10] sobersabre: sync with what, an internal PATA drive? an FTP server on the other side of the globe? Itself? [09:10] sobersabre: ok === PL|Game is now known as PhantomLink [09:10] maybe i need to be in some other group? [09:10] Scorch2: well what happened to your upgrade process? hard to tell otherwise [09:10] Scorch2: 9.10 you said didnt install,so it rolled back to 9.04 [09:10] Indus: Where is 9.10 than? [09:10] ActionParsnip: local-sync to dir [09:10] Hi. A friend just installed 9.10 with an ATI card, but after changing the settings in Catalyst Control Centre to what he wants, after rebooting they revert back to how they were. Any ideas what the problem is? [09:10] llutz: take your hand off my hand!! [09:10] :) [09:10] Scorch2: why did you think its 8.10?? [09:11] sobersabre: sorry, won't do it again [09:11] llutz: it's nice, and thank you of course! [09:11] sobersabre: i spent too much time in here :( [09:11] llutz: are you at least paid ? [09:11] I want to format and repartition my external hard drive. I do not want to use NTFS or FAT32 but I still want windows to be able to access files off of it. Is this possible? And if so, what file system do I use? [09:11] Indus: That is what showed when I looked for the version in help. [09:11] Scorch2: yeah help hmm nvm it [09:12] sobersabre: well the top data rate is 300Mbps so you can calculate it but use a lower number (read skips, seek times etc) [09:12] Scorch2: so now you know its 9.04, so why dont you try 9.10 now [09:12] Z_tau, MarkTraceur: Thank you so much guys, the essay seems to be completely intact! [09:12] or girls [09:12] Boulevardie: cool, glad to help :) [09:12] Boulevardie: No problem, mate! Good luck with the rest! [09:12] mataks: then you will need to run nvidia-settings to configure the display, if you can't get that you will need to boot to recovery root console and run: sudo nvidia-xconfig [09:12] Vega: I had hit the upgrade button initially - did not know it would seize me and it took more than 5 hrs. to finnish [09:12] ActionParsnip: mega*bits*/sec ? [09:12] sobersabre: yes [09:13] i believe, check online [09:13] MarkTraceur: thanks :) [09:13] blablablalbbblalablaa [09:13] ActionParsnip: I'm thinking in terms of MegaBytes.. so it's more convenient for me. [09:13] sobersabre: makes more sense [09:13] and as far as I remember I could do writes at 40-50 MB/s. [09:13] Indus: Does it still take 5 hours? :-/ [09:13] Scorch2: for whtat? [09:14] Scorch2: depends on your internet speed no? [09:14] sobersabre: then thats the speed, the system will not send more data than the destination can write (forgot about that) [09:14] and as far as I can remember, a good SoftRAID (say 4 SATA disks with XFS underneath) can allow you ~200MB/s [09:14] how to install cairo dock [09:14] ? [09:14] !torrents | Scorch2 [09:14] Scorch2: Karmic can be torrented from http://hr.releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://it.releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). [09:14] It took 5 hrs to D/L 9.10 last time as new release [09:14] whas the diff between a softraid and hardraid [09:14] Scorch2: what's your connection speed ? [09:14] Scorch2: torrent will download at a very high speed [09:14] indus: soft raid does everything related to RAID in software :) [09:14] Scorch2: takes 1 hour on a 2mbps line [09:15] indus : softraid is handled by software, hardraid is raid done by a hardware controller === root is now known as Guest8312 [09:15] Indus, Sabre: I'm on DSL @ 5 mbps w/ Qwest so it's usually slower [09:15] hardware RAID does all this on a dedicated microprocessor, with dedicated caches and memory.. [09:15] sobersabre: Pastoolio that is understood by the names, i want more details [09:15] hmm [09:15] how to check the brand of my laptop video card? using command line interface? im using ubuntu [09:15] GUYZ NEED HELP IN SHARING FILES [09:15] indus: I have heard of a web site where you can read about it....if you WANT. [09:16] indus: hard raid has a dedicated piece of hardware and cache to make things go really fast, softraid sucks in comparison and uses the system ram and cpu to manage the disks [09:16] Guest8312 : sudo lspci [09:16] Guest8312: lspci | grep -i video [09:16] mosta: TURN OFF YOUR CAPSLOCK! [09:16] Guest8312: lspci and find it . intel nvidia or ati [09:16] ok :( [09:16] coz no 1 answering me [09:16] indus: you can get some very decent raid cards with half a gig of disk cache, you get some killer speed off them [09:16] Indus: The first torrent I tried (not 9.10 upgrade) was a 1.2 gig file and it took 3 hrs [09:16] i'll check that out now, thanks, [09:16] mosta: have you read the famous "how to ask the smart way" article ? [09:16] Scorch2: wrong torrent then [09:16] !ignore | mosta [09:16] mosta: If you really don't wish to see the messages from a particular person on IRC, you can use /ignore nickname [09:16] no :( too [09:16] Scorch2: its around 700 mb [09:17] Scorch2: whre did you try from and what internet speed do u have [09:17] mosta: whats the problem you facing [09:17] * Pastoolio is very dissapointed with upgrading to 9.10 fresh install seems like a much better route [09:17] mosta: try to be more specific with your problem or question [09:17] it takes 10 minutes to read. and saves months of nerves. [09:17] thanks Pastoolio great I got the brand now! [09:17] mosta: do you want the link to the article ? [09:17] Indus: No, no. It was a movie torrent - before the 9.10 episode [09:17] the prob is i have NTFS driv ..i wanna all windows pcs see it [09:17] ok [09:18] hi, I was trying to run some X program with X11Forward, but it complain about font path. This is fixed by running xset. [09:18] mosta: read up, seriously: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html [09:18] but I noticed that I don't an xorg.confanymore [09:18] so where is font path set? [09:18] mosta: before I read it I used to be like you. [09:18] since I've read it, I am like me :) [09:18] Scorch2: hmm so iam guessing your speed is 1.5 mbps? [09:18] mosta: sounds like you want to set up samba sharing then? someone else might be able to help with that [09:18] is there any easy fix to get rid of pulseaudio and install gnome-alsamixer and what files to edit to use that ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf or any other file and what i need to change on Karmic Koala or how to fix pulseaudio to work with jre in firefox? so far removed pulseaudio and installed gnome-alsamixer, i want to know the best course to fix this please. [09:19] z_tau: please give mosta 10 minutes to read the "smart questions" article.... [09:19] Scorch2: anyways , download the proper torrent, should take a hour and a half i suppose [09:20] calvst: another annoying reason why xorg.conf should stay [09:20] Hi. A friend just installed 9.10 with an ATI card, but after changing the settings in Catalyst Control Centre to what he wants, after rebooting they revert back to how they were. Any ideas what the problem is? [09:20] Indus: I'm on a DSL 5 mbps connection. When I did the Ubuntu 9.10 it was through the auto upgrade feature in my Ubuntu. The torrent was a movie from a different site [09:20] Excuse me, when i plug a usb in it often doesnt recognise it [09:20] will it ever be fixed [09:20] -_- [09:20] calvst: if you create the file, it will be read [09:20] erry: only if you log a bug [09:20] Scorch2: hmm updgrades are typically 1 gb so [09:21] ~_~ [09:21] -sigh- [09:21] erry: can you stop with the -_- stuff, its really redundant and scrolls the channel [09:21] Scorch2: but i think the servers were slow when you upgraded, try now with a new server if you wish [09:21] erry: what do you mean "plu a usb" ? [09:21] s/plu/&g/ [09:21] Indus: So I should just d/l 9.10 via torrent and try a new install? [09:21] i plug the usb in my computer [09:22] Scorch2: after MD5 testing it, yes [09:22] sobersabre: plug [09:22] erry: usb what? [09:22] usb is just a connection. what are you connecting to the USB port ? [09:22] erry: many devices are usb [09:22] ActionParsnip, usb device [09:22] usb hub [09:22] a mouse [09:22] or a printer [09:22] Scorch2: no need, do direct upgrade [09:22] or an external disk [09:22] Indus: Is there a preferred site to d/l 9.10 from? [09:22] erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:22] in a class, i have several functions - is it possible to catch which function invokes a function ?:P [09:22] sorry [09:22] did that make any sense? [09:22] erry: what motherboard do you have ? is it a laptop ? [09:22] or mobile dev [09:22] yes its a laptop [09:22] erry: ok so your usb ports arent working, have you tried some boot options? [09:22] which laptop ? [09:22] ActionParsnip, they do work [09:22] Scorch2: hmm the main website , www.ubuntu.com/downloads [09:22] any idea why opera is not yet in the repositories yet? [09:22] yeah [09:22] ActionParsnip, they sometimes dont [09:22] erry: you CAN tell us what hardware you have..... [09:23] we won't hit you in the face for that... [09:23] I was surprised opera wasnt there either [09:23] a wriless usb mouse [09:23] sobersabre, when ubuntu becomes nasty it doesnt realize i plug a usb no matter what it is i plug [09:23] and guess what: if you tell us, it IS possible we may even determine what is the problem.... [09:23] KingDong_: iam assuming you have enabled the partner repos [09:23] sobersabre, what do you want to know [09:23] erry: then read the dmesg | tail when it does, when one doesn't read the output again [09:23] logitech [09:23] Indus: Cool! I'll try that. [09:23] fcuk112_, opera is a closed source. so it probably wont be in the repos [09:23] erry: i'd log a bug though for the devices [09:23] erry: I want to know your laptop model.

[09:30] Indus: So why would Flash abuse my sys. I thought I built a race car [09:30] ActionParsnip: opera used to be there, but i think some license changed [09:30] sobersabre, well i answered [09:30] Scorch2: flash is dumb with firefox as of now, i think flash 11 is in the works [09:30] vote for flash 11 [09:30] what does vga=758 is deprecated. mode 758... after selecting my operating system in grub mean? [09:30] indus: its proprietary so opera will call all the shots afaik [09:30] erry: is it possible that if you boot into windows, and have the computer up for say ... an hour (until it heats enough to have overheat problems), and play with USB mouse with XP ? [09:30] ActionParsnip: remember the goodold days of flash 8 and 9 [09:31] vote for flash 10........ [09:31] sobersabre, huh? [09:31] Scorch2: perhaps you were playing a high defination video and all the work was being done by your cpu not gpu [09:31] vote for flash 11 [09:31] erry: I think the problem is either the mouse OR the overheating of the USB (and maybe other parts) [09:31] sobersabre, i don't understand please rephrase it [09:31] vote for flash 10........ [09:31] erry: you are getting errors in the device connection. [09:31] sobersabre, it's not the mouse cause it does it for EVERY usb device i have [09:31] good day / flash = oxymoron [09:31] ActionParsnip, that works. But I understand that Xft/fontconfig doesn't need fontpath? [09:31] Indus: Oh. Got it. Other things seem slow on my sys. Got any ideas how to fix?

[09:31] Scorch2: bah no, flash videos are crazy ayway, and iam not sure if they are smart enough to use gpu to play online video [09:31] erry: ok, so can you boot into windows and try rulling out the h/w problem ? [09:31] sobersabre, and ive used windows to play games without a cooler. it's possible that i've overheated the poor thing to death [09:32] calvst: conflict with what? [09:32] sobersabre, well im quite sure windows wont do it [09:32] what does vga=758 is deprecated. mode 758... after selecting my operating system in grub mean? [09:32] erry: can you do an experiment ? [09:32] sobersabre, i hate windows too much [09:32] besides im busy [09:32] om26er: Maybe. Don't know. But I am still not happy wiht my sys performance [09:32] erry: then buy another laptop.... [09:32] :) [09:32] calvst: i doubt it, hal attempts most configs but if the setting is there it should supercede the other setting (maybe it will be added, you'll have to play) [09:32] if you're busy. [09:32] siapa yang bisa membantu ? [09:32] sobersabre, sometimes when i boot to windows, and then reboot, the lappy doesnt even get to grub [09:33] sobersabre, it doesnt even get to before grub [09:33] !indonesia [09:33] join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [09:33] it just has a black scvreen xD [09:33] yup [09:33] erry: I don't know what the problem is, but the log message looks like hardware malfunction. [09:33] erry: i'd use the CD / grub to check your ram [09:33] Scorch2: the upcoming flash(2010) will support hardware acceleration that might help [09:33] USB controllers are VERY prone to overheating. [09:33] om26er: link please [09:33] erry: do you live in a cool place or a hot one ? [09:33] sobersabre, well, then it's possible that windows killed my usb [09:33] om26er: i need to read it [09:33] indus: its called google.com [09:33] sobersabre, it depends on the season [09:33] om26er: could be more helpful than that [09:33] erry: what can "kill" a usb is overloading a cheap USB controller. [09:34] it's cold right now but.. this lappy has gone through a summer or two [09:34] sobersabre, ahem [09:34] sobersabre, i use all my ports :p [09:34] om26er: may as well ask all users here to google dot com no? [09:34] many laptops ship with a relatively chip USB controllers (to lessen the price), and are not really good to run many USB devices at once. [09:34] indus: almost a month ago adobe announced that. the news was all over the internet [09:34] di ujung senja [09:34] semua tertawa === benebioglu is now known as hellyeah [09:34] erry: and if you DO use all of them, it heats, and may even cause damage. [09:34] sobersabre, well if wireless always worked id use a prot less :p [09:34] sobersabre: as i found the other day, leaving the usb stick in your laptop on the passenger seat then braking hard can also kill it [09:34] kecuali dia yang menangisi hidupnya [09:34] om26er: i dont live around the internet so i asked [09:34] port* [09:35] itulah hidup [09:35] om26er: My sys is pokey all the time - not just w/ Flash [09:35] jika kau tak kuasa [09:35] sevenless: throwing a laptop from the 5th floor can also damage a USB controller... so what ? [09:35] :) [09:35] tak kuasa mengendalikannya [09:35] sobersabre, by the way, would plugging in a usb hub make things worse? [09:35] akankah ini [09:35] like a hub that gives you another 4 ports [09:35] berakhir bahagia [09:35] how do i make grub log all errors? [09:35] erry: it won't resolve the overheating problem if it results from a lot of data. [09:35] !indonesia | solanum_ [09:35] solanum_: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [09:35] seperti yang diharapkan [09:36] yes! [09:36] sobersabre, it doesnt have an overheating prob in linux [09:36] say you're using a webcam+harddisk+flash disk, it's a high data transfer rate. [09:36] and it heats the things. [09:36] sobersabre, only windows makes it overheat [09:36] temperature: 57 C [09:36] that's its usual [09:36] indus: this :http://www.liliputing.com/2009/09/nvidia-and-adobe-to-support-hardware-acceleration-for-hd-flash-video.html [09:36] om26er: cant find it, linke do you [09:36] Windows rises it to about 70.. [09:36] erry: 57 C is the temperature of your USB controller ? [09:36] no [09:36] erry: 57 sounds ok [09:36] my laptop [09:37] erry: your laptop, if you look at it closely, is a BIG place. [09:37] it has several locations, and we're now talking about USB controller. [09:37] :) [09:37] do you see my point or no ? [09:37] errietta@errietta-laptop:~$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZCR/temperature [09:37] temperature: 57 C [09:37] errietta@errietta-laptop:~$ [09:37] that's the only temperature i can find [09:37] erry: this is the CPU temperature. [09:37] ij [09:37] ok* [09:37] erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:37] is there a USB one? [09:37] erry: as far as I know ... no. [09:38] erry: you have 2 things to do: to see if the controller already is faulty. [09:38] indus: type this in google to get more results: adobe getting hardware acceleation [09:38] sobersabre, how do i check that [09:38] haruskah aku diam d sini [09:38] erry, my laptop only has a processor temp sensor and a video card temp sensor [09:38] erry: turn off the computer for a long while, until it's cold. [09:38] omg [09:38] ill die if i do that [09:38] :( [09:38] Hehe. [09:39] Hey guys, any idea why Banshee doesn't work _at all_ anymore for me? I don't believe I have changed anything, but trying to listen to Pink Floyd's The Wall right now, and it just creates a cross next to every song as it moves down, I have checked with all other music in my library (including course recordings from school which aren't in ~/Music) and everything does the same.... [09:39] Hey people. [09:39] i agree with chu_ [09:39] hey [09:39] No music player works for me anymore, except Audacious2 [09:39] and totem whuich is actually a video player but it can play music [09:39] henna hito [09:39] erry, if by die you mean you might notice that beyond the windows of the room you are sitting in there is a beautiful world that is real and waiting for you to explore... then yes... you might die. [09:39] Yeah totem works. [09:39] Just came here to make a small note about Gnome libnotify... I am sure it has been asked countless times... [09:39] omg [09:39] erry: rhythmbox? [09:39] erry: I'm tired, and I'm not paid. I think you know all the information about the possible causes of your USB problem. you will now have to experiment to rule out things like total loss of USB or death under heavy load. [09:39] chu_: puseaudio died; start it again. « start-pulseaudio-x11 » [09:39] lifer detected... lifer detected... [09:39] * erry dies of the lifer [09:40] Cheers [09:40] in any case, good luck. [09:40] Can anyone tell me why the gcc v3.3 must be compiled with gcc v3.3??? I want to create a package in my ppa but not sure how to get around that requirement [09:40] erUSUL, i dont think that's the case [09:40] it _never_ works for me [09:40] Nope, same thing. [09:40] life is like an boat [09:40] there's no life. [09:40] Only nerdiness. [09:40] :) [09:40] It worked for me like yesterday. [09:40] no body know who i really am [09:40] chu_, then you're lucky [09:40] what is the syntax to download and install language packs for openoffice3.1 in terminal [09:40] erry: life is what YOU make it. [09:40] om26er: no such thing on adobe labs, next is called 10.1 in april 2010 [09:40] i never felt this empty before [09:40] sobersabre, so my life is coding :) [09:40] bye all. [09:40] thats a facy [09:41] But I wonder, when will we get a better version of it? Will there ever be an improved version of libnotify that's actually a little more useful? [09:41] Argh. [09:41] hey, is there a way to check which files are owned by a package? I'm trying to help someone out, but I'm not familiar with the whole apt system [09:41] so after reading that article " i want some teach me how to share a file using swat" [09:41] what's wrong with the current libnotify? [09:41] I can't boot ubuntu. It's loaded twice since I installed it, once when I first installed it and once yesterday, but it's been constantly giving me booting problems. Getting it to run for that reboot yesterday required running fsck from the live cd which somehow got it working, but I can't seem to repeat that today [09:41] flyguy97: i thought that was normal, allows you to add the system optomisations for the system compiling to gcc to make it more efficient and compile for the right arch (my guess) [09:41] KillaB: dpkg -L paackage [09:41] thank you [09:41] anyway later [09:41] i need somebody who's ake me strong [09:41] ill be busy now [09:41] flyguy97: you do that in gentoo to make things cool [09:41] Byee :0 [09:41] When I loaded the "recovery mode" there appeared to be some errors that flew by but I didn't have the time to read them or note them so I dunno what any said [09:42] LOL, I ran banshee from the command-line, thinking if there were errors I'd get it this way, and guess what, we have sound. [09:42] ActionParsnip: How could I possibly satisfy this requirement in Launchpad. Seems like the chicken and the egg scenario [09:43] llutz: it worked, thanks :D [09:43] Indus: Here's a link for Flash 10.1 http://www.liliputing.com/2009/10/its-official-adobe-flash-10-1-to-support-nvidia-gpus-a-whole-slew-of-smartphones.html [09:43] what is the syntax to download and install language packs for openoffice3.1 in terminal [09:43] flyguy97: it is, if you look into how do youu compile a compiler, it gets headachey [09:43] in grub what could vga=758 is deprecated mean? [09:43] thiscomputer [09:43] why use terminal? [09:44] flyguy97: thing is, you take a generic non-optomised thing, and its source and compile it so its better [09:44] Can only one application "hold" the sound at any one time? [09:44] its faster and easier for me more compleat [09:44] chu_: no; if all of them use puseaudio. some need to be configured [09:44] uugggghhhh [09:44] king had it saved somewhere but i lost it [09:44] flyguy97: thing == compiler [09:44] thiscomputer, openoffice.org-l10n-XX [09:45] thanx king [09:45] ActionParsnip: Any idea on how to overcome this obstacle? I am at a loss. I contacted the Debian packager but they never responded. [09:45] Does anyone have links to increase sys performance? [09:45] Can anybody help me get ubuntu to boot? :( [09:45] in grub what could vga=758 is deprecated mean? [09:45] Scorch2: is your system slow [09:45] help pls.. after i upgrade to grub2... i get this error msg OUT OF FREQUENCY everytime i reboot.. and i can't get into graphical mode.. why is that? [09:45] Just weird, I had Chromium opened before, and Banshee wouldn't play, I close Chromium and Banshee works, I re-open Chromium no problems. [09:46] hi trying to connect my ipaq to the internet via bluetooth [09:46] Okay, let me ask another question involving terminal. [09:46] any easy gui driven ways to do that? [09:46] mataks: did you overclock your cpu? [09:46] flyguy97: i'd play the game, compile gcc with gcc [09:46] !ask | tiox [09:46] I used the dist-update command, and now I have two entities of Linux on GRUB. [09:46] tiox: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:46] Is it safe to delete the older one? [09:46] Indus: Yes. I'm upset that my hot sys does not run like it should. Maybe I have too high expectations? [09:46] Bryce1, .. as far as i remember i just update the GRUB2.. and when i reboot i get the error msg. [09:47] try reinstalling grub [09:47] tiox, if you can successfully boot new one, yes [09:47] Oh, lol thanks for that. Of course. :) [09:47] After upgrading to karmic, gnome desktop (X server) does not start anymore automatically. Any ideas what I can do? On booting up I'm on command line then. However I can start there the X server manually with startx command [09:47] Bryce1, how to reinstall grub? [09:47] ActionParsnip: What are the repercussions of compiling with a newer version of gcc? [09:47] Bryce1: it means that feature is being handled by something else now [09:47] yesterday I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on 2 computers. Neither would boot after installation. Does anyone know what's wrong? I'm new to Ubuntu btw. Haven't tried it before [09:47] tiox, right they leave the kernels in case something doesnt work with the new one. :) [09:47] emil where did you get iso from? [09:47] ubuntu.com [09:47] emil_: You ran md5sum before you burn the Image? [09:47] tiox: you will need to uninstall the other kernel, that will remove the entry and save you ~120Mb in space [09:47] hmm thats is wierd [09:48] So then, how do I remove the older kernel if I know the new one works? [09:48] dualboot? [09:48] boot into a live cd go into terminal and type "sudo grub-install" [09:48] Oh. [09:48] or just ubuntu [09:48] !md5sum | emil_ [09:48] flyguy97: hopefully a slicker compiler, but it should also optomise for your hardware [09:48] emil_: 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 [09:48] Bryce1: something to do with how the screen is set on boot [09:48] flyguy97: well, cpu [09:48] tiox: Remove the kernel package (linux-image-[version]) with your favorite package manager [09:48] oh ok nevermind then mataks [09:48] emil_: Check and see if the ISO are corrupted. :3 [09:48] tiox: if you run: uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image [09:48] Ah. [09:48] yeah thats good advice ubottu gave [09:48] ActionParsnip: So you don't see any issues with compiling from a newer version of gcc? [09:48] So I can do this through Synaptic? [09:48] Bryce1, why? [09:48] why whould it be corrupted, is that a common problem? [09:49] Hi all, do you know if in karmic usb devices are broken? My external mouse is seen in dmesg but not in X [09:49] it's an usb mouse [09:49] it runs fine from the CD [09:49] tiox: you will see your current kernel running, and then ALL the installed kernels, you can remove the kernel(s) that arent that arent the running kernel as you wish [09:49] i'm not sure you might have to edit your grub config files. but i have no idea how to do so. i would ask indus [09:49] Le-Chuck_ITA, my USB mouse is working fine is karmic./ [09:49] e ae galera [09:49] bele [09:49] flyguy97: can't see why not, you'll have all the fun of compiling it too (getting dev deps etc) [09:49] It's working for me on another laptop, but it's broken on two different eeepc [09:49] Indus, Sobersabre, om26er: Thank you for the help. I'll see about the upgrade tomorrow. time for ZZZZ [09:50] sorry I forgot about this right now [09:50] It's sorta late around where I am, I was just seeing if there was a quick solution. [09:50] Scorch2: gnight [09:50] it was 2 different isos for the 2 installations if it makes any differens. one was original Ubuntu and one was Ubuntu Remix 4 from ubuntu.se [09:50] in grub what could vga=758 is deprecated mean? [09:50] Le-Chuck_ITA: its not broken [09:50] I am running 9.10 off USB (yeah, sorta silly but it works.) [09:50] tiox: You can do it through Synaptic, yeah [09:50] Bryce1, that this boot parameter is obsolete? [09:50] Bryce1: i answered that question to you already [09:51] ActionParsnip:Thank you for your advice, I can't wait to dig in sarcastically speaking [09:51] tiox: doesnt matter, yu should definately do it as you need the space [09:51] hi [09:51] flyguy97: you'll learn a lot too :) [09:51] doesn't /etc/profile hold the global PATH definition? [09:51] hmm, does anyone know how to debug a situation where a plugged in input device is not used by Xorg? [09:51] insdus: oh i thought you were answering matakas' question [09:51] *mataks [09:51] I am using the USB drive as a test platform, basically. [09:51] Bryce1, yes? [09:51] Bryce1: its some boot paarameter which is no longer needed or used [09:52] e ae [09:52] how i can install driver em28xx on ubuntu karmic [09:52] Do I don't have to mess with partitions. [09:52] So* [09:52] indus: so how would i remove it so i dont see it anymore [09:52] how i can install driver em28xx on ubuntu karmic? [09:52] how do I switch my interface from the netbook interface to the standard interface? Also, is there a way for me to switch to the moblin interface?? [09:52] Bryce1: for example HAL is deprecated in 9.10 , though iam not sure what has taken its place [09:52] tiox: makes sense. i do the same [09:52] Bryce1: hmm not sure if thats needed but read more about it [09:52] Bryce1: you see it in where? grub boot menu? [09:53] Bryce1: you can edit the grub file [09:53] indus: right after i select the ubuntu os it shows for a second then is gone. i dont see it when i boot to windows [09:53] So how in Synaptic can I access the installed kernels? [09:53] Please can anyone help me? Ubuntu won't boot. Right after the white ubuntu logo it stops at a black screen and won't progress. I got past it once by fluke, and it loaded fine when I first installed it, but now I can't get in it at all, I'm using the live cd right now [09:53] how i can install driver em28xx on ubuntu karmic [09:53] Bryce1: hmm ok its a kernel message, ignore it, you cannot get ridof it [09:53] tiox: You remove the linux-image-* packages you want to remove [09:54] jest ktoś z polski [09:54] there is no way i can get rid of it? [09:54] bele [09:54] at all? [09:54] Jetsetlemming: use the safe mode to boot [09:54] Bryce1: no [09:54] hm, this might not be the best place... but xterm -fs 40 doesn't show me a large font. Any tips? [09:54] argh. ok thanks for your help [09:54] anyone feel like helping a ubuntu beginner? pm [09:54] help pls.. after i upgrade to grub2... i get this error msg OUT OF FREQUENCY everytime i reboot.. and i can't get into graphical mode.. why is that? [09:54] somebody from poland [09:54] tiox: search for linux-image DONOT remove the running kernel [09:54] Bryce1: it comes after you select ubuntu to boot correct? [09:54] emil_: Floppy Disk is not necessary. [09:54] !pl | xxx_ [09:54] !pl | xxx_ [09:54] xxx_: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [09:54] indus, but is that different from recovery mode? That just loaded a command prompt screen, no access to the desktop [09:55] correct [09:55] Jetsetlemming: yes in safe mode you get a display/desktop [09:55] hello what is the thing at the bottom of my screen session that i had before I upgraded to 9.10 but is not here anymore? [09:55] How do I get into safe mode with ubuntu then? Hit F8 while booting like windows? [09:55] i guess its some sort of "screen profile" or something [09:55] Bryce1: search on launchpad for this, there will be a bug someone filed or a question [09:55] anybody knows about this? [09:55] indus: ok [09:55] Bryce1: why does hte message bother you? [09:56] Of course. Foolish to remove the current kernal. [09:56] Jetsetlemming: its shift with grub2 [09:56] tiox: just covering all bases :) [09:56] because i like a clean bootup screen :) [09:56] Hi there, Im having a little trouble accessing windows shares via network on my ubuntu laptop, I have samba installed and I have been through google trying to find a solution but im stuck. Im using a wireless connection if that means anything, I also have firestarter installed with default settings. Can anyone help? [09:56] Bryce1: we all do :) but its not possible as far as i know [09:56] robin0800 that gives me the options to boot ubuntu, boot in recovery mode, and two different memtest options [09:56] Bryce1: its already in quiet mode [09:56] adrenalin: can you ping the server by name and/or IP? [09:56] anyone feel like helping a ubuntu beginner? pm. problem loading gui, blank screen [09:56] indus, well as clean as possible [09:56] tiox: It'a always nice to have one known good kernel backup as well. Just incase you find a regression in the future of this kernel. [09:56] Jetsetlemming: press f4 [09:57] !ask | emil_ [09:57] emil_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:57] only ip at this stage, but I have tried connecting to the share via ip and no luck [09:57] 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... [09:57] Boot ubuntu ends up with freezing at the black screen, recovery mode leaves me with just a command prompt, I ran memtest and no errors popped up [09:57] Jetsetlemming: for more boot options its there [09:57] Of course. [09:57] Ok, I'll look. [09:57] !ask [09:57] Jetsetlemming: yes good , boot in safe graphics mode [09:57] adrenalin: ok no worries, can you run: smbtree windows.ip.address.here [09:57] Well, if I end up losing everything because my kernel suddenly failed me, I can always rewrite the MBR using my Vista boot CD and continue using my PC with that. [09:58] i have a hard time following all this rapid text :P [09:58] yes, but no output, just performs task and stops [09:58] emil_: You should only read the highlighted messages. Ask the real question and if we know, we'll give you the real answer. [09:58] wouterth: if the monitor is CRT it may not be reporting refresh rates, you will need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig then add them yourself to get higher [09:59] doesn't /etc/profile hold the global PATH definition? [09:59] so i moblin not included in 9.10 ? [09:59] mcmlxxi: i believe so [09:59] tom__: run: apt-cache search moblin [09:59] ActionParsnip: thx for your help, it is an lcd-monitor [09:59] Okay, I'll reboot and see what happens soon enough. [10:00] ActionParsnip, one of my colleagues told me it failed for a user [10:00] ActionParsnip, yes, but no output, just performs the task and goes back to prompt [10:00] wouterth: ok, then read: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log [10:00] tom__: I believe it was more of a testing playground for ubuntu developers and then ubuntu-moblin-netbook should be in Lucid. :3 [10:00] adrenalin: does the windows firewall block the connections? [10:00] adrenalin: or any other firewall you have [10:00] I know it is a small, low-urgency issue, but is anyone else annoyed how libnotify acts? [10:01] tiox: i uninstall it [10:01] leaf-sheep, so ill wait another 6 months then. got it [10:01] tiox: drives me insane [10:01] ActionParsnip, dont see it... unless mutter-moblin is it? [10:01] Needs to be better in my opinion. I mean, it CAN be useful. [10:01] !find moblin [10:01] Found: gtk2-engines-moblin, libmoblin-panel-dev, libmoblin-panel0, libmoblin-panel0-dbg, moblin-cursor-theme (and 3 others) [10:01] ActionParsnip, I will disables its firewall, test and get back to you, but I havn't had issues with it before. BRB [10:01] tom__: thats 8 right there [10:01] -join #alt.binaries.games.xbox360 [10:02] ActionParsnip: what am I supposed (not) to see there? [10:02] Having problem after clean install of 2 Ubuntu dist's (Ubuntu 9.10, and Ubuntu Remix 4). Neither will boot gui. Not in safe mode either. In safe mode I only get to a login promt, there I get stuck. HELP please. [10:02] tom__: You can use Moblin2.1 directly from Moblin site. There also are ubuntu-moblin-remix iso available on site. [10:02] xterm -fs 40 doesn't show me a large font. Any tips? This broke on 9.10, used to work on 9.04 [10:02] I mean, think about it. The common Windows user like myself are use to notice bubbles with buttons and the like. libnotify has thhe same capacity to do that. [10:02] the* [10:02] leaf-sheep, use from there site...meaning, download an install iso or livecd ? [10:02] wouterth: where? [10:03] tiox: you can turn those offwith a reg hack [10:03] tom__: Yes. Both. LiveCD with the option of installing. [10:03] ActionParsnip: I think my monitor isn't recognised correctly, because nvidia-settings defines it as "CRT-0" where it is an lcd-monitor. I got a lot of resolutions, up to 1024x768 and 1360x768, but I want it 1280x1024 [10:03] All somebody needs to so is code a simple button archiecture to it that others can build upon. [10:03] ActionParsnip: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [10:03] Well, I find them useful in IM conversations. While I am typing i can read what somebody else has to say. [10:03] tiox: The lack of buttons in notify-osd is a design choice [10:03] wouterth: you can change it to LCD in xorg.conf if it bothers you, downt make any difference, its just characters in a conf file [10:04] wouterth: it's connected to analog-port (vga)? [10:04] So what was the reason? [10:04] Seems rather silly to me. [10:04] llutz: yes it is [10:04] wouterth: that's why it's called CRT-0 [10:04] llutz: I see [10:04] tiox: The idea is that notifications should not be disruptive [10:04] ActionParsnip, made no difference, if it helps, if I attempt to browse a windows workgroups, it returns failed to receive file list from server [10:04] wouterth: if you run: gksudo nvidia-settings you can write the settings to the X configuration file, then you can run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and manually edit the resolution line [10:04] And yet they're bat-shit annoying. :P [10:05] wouterth: but it's only internal name, shouldn't affect functiton [10:05] do you know any good alsa mixer which doesn't completely suck and isn't worthless like many I tested? [10:05] function* [10:05] adrenalin: is your ubuntu system named in the same workgroup as the windows system, you can change it in /etc/samba/smb.conf [10:05] ActionParsnip: thx, will try [10:05] wouterth: you will need to restart x after changing the file [10:06] F4 does nothing on the grub menu for me. [10:06] llutz: when I run xrandr (found on Google), the only output detected is "default"... but the google-example showed of that there had to be someting like "LVDS" and "VGA" [10:06] dAnon: alsa-mixer in terminal is pretty ok [10:06] It is an option on the live CD menu but not the Shift grub menu [10:06] no it's not [10:06] !firefox [10:06] 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 [10:06] it sucks [10:06] wouterth: try nvidia-settings, worked fo rme much better than xrandr [10:06] dAnon: well i cant tell you what your opinion is, nor have you told us what apps you have tried, so nobody can help you [10:06] Jetsetlemming: there are many options from f1 to f6 [10:07] Jetsetlemming: its easy to search it [10:07] ActionParsnip, it is on the same workgroup, is there someway I can check and make sure the samba is running? [10:07] tiox: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationDesignGuidelines [10:07] None of the function keys did anything in that menu for me. The only options were E for edit, and a couple other technical things. [10:07] Is my grub install messed up somehow? [10:07] I just want to be able to record "what you hear" or mic [10:07] llutz: I was using nvidia-settings, but it didn't show the right resolution for my external screen... so while searching for solutions I found xrandr [10:07] adrenalin: if you are accessing windows you already had the required smbclient, samba is just helpful to have [10:07] It's just the default automatic thing Ubuntu chooses to install on its own... [10:08] llutz: while using nvidia-settings, my xorg.conf looks very basic... is that normal? [10:08] dAnon: then thats not an alsa mixer, you want a sound recording application [10:08] standard 9.10 mixer doesn't allow me to choose "what you hear" recording source [10:08] nah [10:08] wouterth: yes [10:08] just a mixer volume for recording what you hear [10:08] dAnon: alsa mixer allows you to set volumes for different devices [10:08] llutz: ok, thx [10:08] ActionParsnip, thats the problem, I have been unable to access the file shares on the machine or any other. [10:08] I managed to get into my HD install by clicking that option in the live CD menu. By the sounds of it the CD helped along the boot process. [10:09] help pls.. i get this error msg on my monitor everytime i reboot.. " OUT OF FREQUENCY" that's after when i upgrade to GRUB2.. [10:09] adrenalin: Tried "alsamixer -c 0" ? [10:09] wouterth: for most setups there's no xorg.conf at all needed any more [10:09] adrenalin: are the user names on both systems on the other system? [10:09] ActionParsnip alsa mixer is so buggy I can't do anything with it === root is now known as Guest38286 [10:10] how to install alsa mixer? [10:10] ActionParsnip it sets "what you hear" and mic and once and can't uncheck the "what you hear" [10:10] Indus: i figured it out, one faulty line in grub config file and its gone :) [10:10] when i type alsamixer on terminal i only have 1 volume settings.. it's just master volume [10:10] hello every body here , i would like to know how to speed up my ubuntu in general. please note that iam very new in linux OS [10:10] cmp 64 bit? [10:10] Althlon? [10:10] 32 [10:10] oh [10:10] Bryce1: yeah i did suggest it before, i had read that somewhere [10:11] dAnon: looks like audacity can do it, also found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5622896#post5622896 [10:11] cmp: speed up system for fast idling?

[10:11] ActionParsnip, yes the username is the same on one of the systems im accessing, perhaps there is a problem, because there is password protection? I have used it before with passwords and had no problem [10:11] cmp: how do you mean, "speed in general" it doesnt make sense, you can benchmark your system with tools...... [10:12] are there known issues with Ubuntu and ATI gfx-cards? [10:13] adrenalin: yes you should use passwords. If you run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER you can add a password (use the same as the logon). When you access the shares, you will be challenged for a password meaning you have connected correctly and you can authenticate yourself [10:13] nn [10:13] Indus: actually i dont even need that parameter. i can just use GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="gfxpayload=true" [10:14] Bryce1: hmm [10:14] ActionParsnip, dont you know what does it mean in General - ok i will explain to you may be you dont get it easily - in general means = its slowing down by time - its getting slow time after time - its delaying the orders ... hope you could understand it now and hope it make sense for you . [10:14] Bryce1: no idea what it means but good :) [10:14] indus: what would KMS be then? [10:14] cmp: ok well you never mentioned slowing down over time at all, lose the attitude [10:14] ActionParsnip, yes it does ask for a password to access the share and then fails to get listing.

The early stuff is your system booting so is not of interest [10:16] Bryce1: makes for a beautiful bootup and moves the X server initialisation to the kernel and wil allow for graphical messages [10:16] Bryce1: coming for ATI IN FUTURE [10:17] ActionParsnip, I just noticed someone said it doesnt play nice with windows 7 file shares? [10:17] Bryce1: You should go in ##windows and say "Windows 7 still doesn't play nice with karmic file shares yet. :(" [10:17] adrenalin: i can give you a copy of my smb.conf if you like, its how I configure shares (old school but not ard at all) [10:17] ActionParsnip, note the target computer is win7 [10:17] indus: ok thanks indus [10:17] adrenalin: i dont use windows so couldnt comment [10:17] Bryce1: WANT to read more?

It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) [10:34] dunno why but "what you hear" is in the mic section of capture [10:34] SeungFu: as histo says, if you just want access to the data you can do that from the live cd easily [10:34] if I have iptables running, and there's a bunch of rules configured in /var/lib/iptables/active, what happens when I start using ufw to manage my firewall?

I'm installing this from one script that have &>/dev/null in apt-get calls... =/ [10:36] PauloRicardo, which script [10:36] SeungFu: sounds like the grub config isnt right, you can modify the scripts that make up grub from live cd to boot to the internal device, then play around to get your windows boot fixed [10:36] i follover almost every tutorial on the net, and those did not work [10:36] PauloRicardo: no, its a requirement of sun java [10:37] PauloRicardo: You can skip it by not installing it and use open-source alternative of java. [10:37] I don't know how to paste the result of the gnash I ran ... [10:37] ActionParsnip, i searched the net how to fix the windows vista boot, but found nothing, excepti clearing mbr, ans i did that and it did not help [10:37] bazhang: one that I wrote :P ... it installs ~50 packages, only sun-java6-plugin need this :( [10:37] PauloRicardo, no way to skip [10:37] PauloRicardo: even if you use teh self extracting .bin file you must stil agree to the licence [10:37] How do I uses pastebin??

[11:10] ActionParsnip so many programmers wasting their time at worthless distros [11:10] the password isn't the issue as i am able to log in via telnet and reboot [11:10] dAnon: the whole idea of linux is its a tool for a job, each distro has different aims and purposes [11:11] The whole ... yeah.

[11:11] why i have not the fold /usr/share/scim/tables [11:11] dAnon: You'll probably find that people don't work on distros, but rather on different *components*. [11:11] dAnon: each distro is just an amalgamation of other efforts, like ubuntu can use vlc and mplayer, canonical do not make these items, neither do they make the kernel [11:11] ActionParsnip I have to agree on that, but there are too many distros out there [11:11] who can tell me? [11:11] dAnon: "I think that if all the car designers concentrated on one particular car, it would be a perfect car" [11:11] dAnon: so all the coding for the other distros is the same as coding for many [11:12] unimatrix, stil there?

[11:18] Lingus, cp -a source target [11:18] Lint: cp -r source dest [11:19] iceroot: i'm on a private home network, i don't need to secure anything... there is no harm to me in using telnet. there isn't an error message. it simply bounces on the gnome loging interface and goes back to the user selection [11:19] pjfry1: groovy: sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/adobe-flashplugin_10.0.32.18-1intrepid1_i386.deb; sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flashplugin [11:19] ActionParsnip, -a is safer, because it will preserve links, unlike -r [11:20] how to open some port for ppl to telnet on ubuntu ? [11:21] joaopinto: yeah just looking at the man pages, -a == -dpR nice [11:21] khelll: do you connect to a router or do you connect directly to the web via a modem? [11:21] khelll: Are your machine behind a router? [11:22] khelll: the ports are all open, if you use a router you will need to configure that, hence me asking [11:22] khelll: http://portforward.com [11:22] no the machine is not behind a router [11:22] khelll: if you are not behind a router, then the connections are good to go, the ports are open [11:22] okay i see in my grub.cfg file my windows disk is not listed, what can i do to fix it? [11:22] but when i do telnet host port i get telnet: connect to address 201.236.166.156: Connection refused [11:22] khelll: unless you have been playing with firewalling [11:23] ActionParsnip: any suggestions as to what i should do? [11:23] khelll: you need to specify a port number or telnet will connect to port 25 by default [11:23] why in my system ,there is no === Jare__ is now known as Jare [11:23] and then in the lower half of the screen you'll see "Administration" (2).

[11:24] I'm having major problems on one machine with npviewer regurlarly crashing or otherwise running away and I just had pulseaudio using 67% of memory [11:24] khelll: not unless you have added some firewalling previously [11:25] i just got a sudo to that machine [11:25] equivoc: ive no idea about those [11:25] how do i know if there is a firewall ? [11:25] ActionParsnip, why would anyone want telnet access instead of ssh? [11:25] what is the default home folder? [11:25] milwaks: there choice, if its over lan then its fine === KrisWillis_ is now known as KrisWillis [11:26] ActionParsnip, I'm a relatively new user, but the idea seems puzzling? [11:26] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/m5e9828a2 [11:26] !telnet\ [11:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about telnet\ [11:26] !telnet [11:26] telnet is not safe. Please use ssh instead. See !ssh [11:26] milwaks: ssh uses keys to encrypt the commands and text and whaever else you send, this makes it much more secure than telnet where everything is sent plain text [11:26] enough said [11:26] ActionParsnip, It seems to be the same error every time .... [11:27] !ssh [11:27] 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) [11:27] milwaks: if a simple command line console and nothing else is needed and the connection is over LAN then telnet is equal to ssh in this case [11:27] indus: it is if its only confined to LAN, then its fine [11:28] pjfry1: not sure then, sounds like you will need to redownload the deb file again [11:28] ActionParsnip, Ah right. [11:28] is there a workaround for the npviewer constantly crashing [11:28] milwaks: if you get smart alekky users with some access they can sniff for telnet traffic and see you doing stuff and may capture your password(s) [11:29] hipitihop: with flash you mean? [11:29] pjfry1: you could try websearching the error (copy all the lines) and see what comes up [11:30] ActionParsnip, that's what puzzles me and ssh isn't really hard to set up and you can do all sort of other stuff like sftp etc so it's less work in the end isn't it? [11:31] milwaks: it does offer a whole host of functionality but if all that is needed is a command interface then telnet is equal to ssh as they offer the only required functionality [11:32] what's the irc channel for gyachi support? [11:33] how to check if there is a firewall on the machine i'm working on [11:34] khelll: online security tester maybe [11:34] i'm sshing to that machine now [11:34] :) [11:34] I disabled gdm in all runlevels - why am I still getting a graphical login screen on boot?

[12:33] Bear10: You should rather just chmod o-r the specific files you don't want the user to see. I think the only way to "hide" something in linux is to prefix it with a dot, like /.hiddendir, and that would screw everything up if you did that to the system folders.

[12:52] chrisbschw, sorry was eating, yes i want an executable to work which is installed in the OS like firefox or open office, but i dont want a user to be able to copy and paste the application files to their directory [12:52] indus, how easily does it integrate with the system? [12:52] hello. i have a pretty big problem. i have created a side panel in the right side. I set the option to autohide, and now it is now going vissible when i move over the mouse. i know its there because i can see a thin draw (sorry for my english) [12:52] hmm, it seems that I can't increase the number of desktops in compizconfig settings manager, any suggestion to do this? [12:52] ask me [12:52] scratchme: well, its default install on 9.10, syncs auto and gives 2 gb just like this site [12:52] y/n ? [12:53] subsam: y [12:53] scratchme: it doesnt seem to support linux, its also offtopic [12:53] indus, let me check it out. Thanks. [12:53] ActionParsnip, how can i install flashplayer now ? should i download it from adobe web page ? [12:53] ActionParsnip, it does. It has a hardy heron. [12:53] proccing [12:53] ActionParsnip: iam telling him about ubuntu one, and yes the link does support ubuntu [12:53] scratchme: seems they do have a linux client, my mistake [12:53] proscing [12:53] ActionParsnip, I wasn't aware backup apps for Ubuntu was offtopic, sorry. [12:54] Bear10: I think thats impossible, to execute something you have to be able to read the file. I'm no hardcore expert though, so there might be a way. But I can't think of an easy way to accomplish that. May I ask why you want to do this? [12:54] subsam: ok when this is over, you go to repositories again and enable the multiverse also [12:54] IP-v6: copy the .so file you extracted from the tar.gz to /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins [12:54] subsam: i go smoke [12:54] chrisbschw, to setup a system for my house so no one touches things they shouldnt [12:54] ok [12:54] ok [12:54] scratchme: no, its just not an official package so we cannot really support it [12:54] its full of computer illiterates and i dont want them using windows either lol [12:54] don't smoke very much [12:55] i will need u after it over :) [12:55] scratchme: the guide seems painless enough though [12:55] scratchme: give it a go. Ive not heard of it [12:55] ActionParsnip, I got what I wanted anyway. I just wanted some backup system online which works. It was my first question. That one came after I got no answer. [12:55] hi [12:55] proseccing [12:55] Bear10: Well. Noone will be able to alter the system files. And the worst thing that can happen is that they mess up their own homedir. By default everything that's supposed to be secret is already chmodded that way so that normal users can't damage the system. [12:55] scratchme: $10 for 100Gb / month aint bad at all [12:55] hi guys, I've got a problem with recreating ubuntu after changing partitions. [12:55] I had a wrong partitioning scheme. [12:56] So I backed up / and other partitions, and repartitioned the hard disk. [12:56] ActionParsnip, I'm doing this gratis for some retired guy. I think he'll want whatever is free first ;) [12:56] had a general question, when installing stuff using the package manager, the downloads are very slow, is there a way to speed them up ? i am getting like 1/4 of the speed of my connection [12:56] scratchme: why not just buy a 1Tb HDD, backup to that then disconnect the device? [12:56] now I've restored their contents, but there's a problem with grub setup. [12:56] scratchme: ubuntuone gives a small amount of space [12:56] chrisbschw, well i know that much but im just uneasy with them being able to copy paste stuff they shouldnt, i want to make it so the only things they have in their home directory are things they save from applications [12:56] tryin to limit it to that point [12:56] saracen1 : indeed it's the problem with apt-get [12:56] ActionParsnip, said retired guy has no computer skills. Less user intervention = win [12:56] what I do is: mount the root fs on /tmp/tmp [12:56] scratchme: true [12:56] then chroot /tmp/tmp [12:56] Hi, I am not ubuntu9.10 and gnome-do hangs immediately after a boot and I have to kill the app... is there any fix for this ? [12:57] and from there I hoped to run grub, etc. [12:57] but when I chroot, I can see that /dev is empty. [12:57] furuno: so is there a way to fix it ? [12:57] scratchme: could setup a cron job to scp the data to your system, you could be his backup [12:57] indus [12:57] can somebody elaborate on this subj ? [12:57] indus [12:57] saracen1 : haven't found it yet, my apt-get download also very slow [12:57] ok [12:57] saracen1 : my suggestion is, to download larga package manually from packages.ubuntu.com [12:58] Bear10: Well, all the system stuff is really not a secret. The only thing I can think of I would be uneasy about exposing would be /etc/shadow, which contains MD5 hashes of everyone's passwords. But noone can access that file. Try it yourself without being root. [12:58] ActionParsnip, I considered trying to setup an ftp/sftp mounted as a folder which points to a part of my webhosting, but if this is built-in, I can be hit by a truck, and it still works. [12:58] subsam: what [12:58] ok [12:58] subsam: what happened [12:58] the listes now is 5 [12:58] not 6 [12:58] is it possible to run 9.10 under vmware with a composite screen? [12:58] subsam: what is 5 [12:58] chirsbschw, hmph i wish there were some way of making it "invisible" / "hidden" but i guess there really isnt a way [12:58] ActionParsnip, is the 2GB licensed in Ubuntu one per user on the system? [12:59] the package lestes [12:59] listes * [12:59] like itd be okay if it was atleast hidden heh [12:59] scratchme: you can install openssh-server then configure his system to upload his stuff at midnight to your system via scp, You can then even archive it off using rsync after the upload to form a differential backup [12:59] subsam: what? i dont understand === Guest50496 is now known as TonyTheTiger [12:59] upgradeing packages and debconf came up asking me what to do with grub.. [12:59] scratchme: no idea. ive never used it [12:59] u asked me haw muck listes in pachage manger [12:59] scratchme: yes its per user [13:00] u remmeber ? [13:00] what is the boottime for people using karmic. is it better than jaunty for you? [13:00] om26er: yes [13:00] When confronted with the "Update Manager" Is it best to "Install Updates" or "upgrade" on a fresh 9.10 install? [13:00] gartral: use the maintainers unless you have customised grub yourself, either way you will be editting the system [13:00] subsam: yes it should show 25000 or some packages listed, 0 broken, 0 to remove etc [13:00] hi guys. The kubuntu livecd keeps shutting off my laptop and seemingly random times, I cant even get through the installer. Any ideas? Its not over heating, doesnt get chance for that! [13:00] Bear10: Well, it really is kinda 'invisible', the only way to access it would be having the root password, or removing the disk and reading the files from another system. Either way, if the other people using the system are novices, they really won't end up in / anyway, if they use the GUI primarily. [13:00] om26er: i dont reboot much but karmic seems faster [13:00] yes the boottime is better in karmic because karmic uses upstart for the boot process [13:00] bilalakhtar: does that really matter? [13:01] Ciylana: did you run the cd self tester? did you run a ram tester? [13:01] ActionParsnip: it wont mess up seeing grub+win on the one drive and the linux partitions on the others, will it? [13:01] and now [13:01] chrisbschw, true that, thanks :) [13:01] i guess i should be at ease [13:01] hello, it seems that I can't increase the number of desktops from compizconfig settings manager, any thought? screenshot -> http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/9985/screenshoty.jpg [13:01] i didnt run the self tester becaause freebsd and gentoo has the same problem (oddly, windows is fine) [13:01] !ureadahead [13:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about ureadahead [13:01] om26er: I dont think so. the boottime difference might be only 2-3 seconds shorter, and the shutdown one will be 5-6 seconds shorter [13:01] Nevermind, I got it. I thought this VM was 9.10, but it's 9.04. [13:01] it's already enable [13:01] indus, ActionParsnip , i have downloaded 64bit version flashplayer. it worked. thanks. [13:01] I'm installing Ubuntu on the laptop of a friend of mine [13:02] bilalakhtar: ya shudown is really quick here [13:02] subsam:it should show 25000 or some packages listed, 0 broken, 0 to remove etc [13:02] she has a 300 GB NTFS partition which had 70GB free, don't know where exactly [13:02] is there any good parental control and log keeping software for ubuntu? [13:02] subsam: at bottom of synaptic [13:02] gartral: it may, get the installer to show the differences, you could backup the current config and then reinstate what you have in some way [13:02] subsam: what do u see [13:02] we made an Ubuntu partition of 40 GB at the end of that partition [13:02] Anyone using a Jaxer server here? [13:02] IP-v6: np man, the package versions for flash and java are garbage imo [13:02] Anyway [13:02] om26er: Well, after I installed LAMP (linux apache mysql php) my bootup has become 4 seconds slower and shutdown 3 seconds slower [13:03] om26er: well that doesnt matter [13:03] It's making that partition now, I guess it's resizing the Windows partition [13:03] It's been on 0% for half an hour now, is that normal? (taking 40 GB off the end of a Windows partition in the Ubuntu installer) [13:03] om26er: because i cant live without apache [13:03] 4 packages listed and 1397 installed [13:03] if i disable apic, will my laptop fry itself? [13:03] IP-v6: you will have to manually update the plugin yourself so keep an eye on the page yu downloaded from for updates [13:03] is there an easy way to transfer all partitions and bootloader and everything to a bigger hard disk? [13:03] subsam: hmm ok press reload [13:03] Sjors : It is highly recommended that you defrag the partition beforehand [13:03] ok [13:04] furuno: Windows defrag is enough? [13:04] subsam: change the server [13:04] i will [13:04] Sjors : yes [13:04] subsam: go to that repositories again and select main server [13:04] hello, can anyone tell how to make custom task in tasksel list, i'm trying this http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-boot@lists.debian.org/msg66370.html but nothing [13:04] pefor reload ? [13:04] or after ? [13:04] subsam: change th Ubuntu server to "main server" [13:04] furuno: can I reboot safely while it's changing partition size? [13:04] subsam:before [13:04] how change ? [13:04] Sjors : I don't guarantee that :| [13:04] subsam: do it first , go to prefere>repos> [13:05] I was scrolling through comments on reddit and my screen became scrambled and my speakers started kerchinging (with no audio streams happening). Has anyone experienced anything remotely similar? [13:05] how can i change sensitivity of a touchpad (synaptics touchpad) in ubuntu? [13:05] furuno: do you think the resize is safe? :) [13:05] * indus mumbles to himself, this is tiring [13:05] i.e. it will only change records after copying the data [13:05] Sjors : safe enough for me, if you defrag beforehand :) [13:05] do u mean mark behind community ? [13:06] Sjors, think of this as a partition [XXX X XX X X] (X is data, space is empty space) [13:06] hi all anyone know how to run this application. here is the destination folder http://imagebin.ca/view/u3fNBXB.html [13:06] furuno: I know how it works and what it does [13:06] guys... I need help with booting without working grub. [13:06] subsam: no it says 'download from..... ' [13:06] furuno: just wanted to know how long it usually takes :) [13:06] Sjors, look that data on the end might interrupting the resize operation [13:06] help pls. i have no audio on my 9.10.... just upgraded from 9.04 [13:06] subsam: click on it and select main server [13:06] ActionParsnip: http://gar.pastebin.com/mf9f41aa <- i cant make heads or tails out of that.. if you asked me, id'e say it wants to replace GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 with a period. [13:06] I can boot into live CD, but I don't want to reinstall the system, just to fix the grub installation... [13:06] Sjors, so that's why defrag is highly recommended [13:06] can anyone help me how to change the sensitivity of my synaptics touchpad in ubuntu? [13:07] sobersabre: You can try the install cd to boot into rescue mode and then chroot to fix your grub [13:07] it doesnt work well [13:07] ActionParsnip: *but what does that do? [13:07] furuno: but the Ubuntu installer does run a defrag for the parts that will be gone, too [13:07] hello, can anyone tell how to make custom task in tasksel list, i'm trying this http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-boot@lists.debian.org/msg66370.html but nothing [13:07] gartral: looks like its just deleting the line [13:07] double post: I was scrolling through comments on reddit and my screen became scrambled and my speakers started kerchinging (with no audio streams happening). Has anyone experienced anything remotely similar? [13:07] gartral: not sure though [13:07] sobersabre: what is wrong with grub [13:07] restarted gdm.. that did not do it [13:07] Sjors : then try wait for another hours [13:07] no no i'm talking about the first [13:07] ActionParsnip: it won't hurt anything... as i dont have any hidden partitions [13:07] im havin gissues with wpa_supplicant [13:07] it wont daemonize [13:07] subsam: what first [13:07] ahox: is ( "live CD" != "install CD" ) ?

[14:09] boomer84, there should be an option in apache2.conf to only listen on localhost [14:09] kde is too complicated for a newbie anyway [14:10] or at least i would like to think so [14:10] try gnome ... [14:10] wine isn't my forte' [14:10] Halitech: Cheers, I will give it a go. Thanks for the advice [14:10] boomer84, yes, use the firewall.

[14:10] welcome to gnome younas ...: D [14:10] Younder, why not just configure apache to only listen to localhost and 127.0.0.1? probably easier then setting up a firewall rule [14:11] hi, i have a question about symlink, if i create a new one, in the same place, this, replace the old one? the old one is rewrite ir? or delete it? [14:11] mataks: the unixmen link I gave has more instructions on how to install the backports package [14:11] Halitech, that works too [14:11] ok anyone on wine? i the fonts are too small in a vb6 app called bit-che. the fonts on the window change by tweaking the dpi but search engine hits and everything else remains unchanged [14:11] nonama thanks !

None of my applications have windows (title bar, minimize/maximize/close buttons, etc) [14:16] iamkitchen: w8 [14:16] iamkitchen, you mean that you cannot see any windows such as Applications, Places, System ? [14:16] i can see that [14:16] but like for example i open firefox [14:16] it's just a webpage [14:16] iamkitchen: Try starting "compiz" or "metacity" from terminal. [14:17] younas, as long as you're happy with gnome and it obviously works on your setup then that's a good thing :) === yofel_ is now known as yofel [14:17] iamkitchen: http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/switch-the-closemaximizeminimize-buttons-to-left-side-in-ubuntu/ [14:17] iamkitchen: metacity --replace in terminal [14:17] iamkitchen: something in your window manager might have stumbled.

[14:17] iamkitchen, try typing metacity --replace or compiz --replace [14:17] i can't even type in terminal o_o [14:17] Or Alt-F2, then either of those commands [14:17] You can type, you just can't see it :P [14:17] no when I type [14:17] it goes into my chat window [14:18] (If that is the problem.) [14:18] iamkitchen: you can use alt and mouse to drag windows still. [14:18] :| [14:18] Oh? [14:18] iamkitchen, press alt F2 and enter metacity --replace [14:18] iamkitchen: another options is to log out and log in again... [14:18] How do I figure out the device for my Wacom?

If so, try to disable them in System->Preferences->Appearance [14:20] iamkitchen, if you have emerald installed and are trying to get it to load it's theme you need to create a startup command "emerald --replace" [14:21] i think it's because i uninstalled compiz [14:21] :| [14:21] Does anybody know about 7zip? I am wondering whether I can the GUI application file roller to always use the best algorith in 7zip instead of the fastest. One can configure this from the shell but can you also configure so file roller uses the best one? [14:21] iamkitchen: then either disable desktop fx or reinstall compiz and log out and in again [14:21] diddy, you can find several zip compression/uncompression files by researching in Ubuntu Software Center [14:22] Or Add/Remove Applications [14:22] kunnu531, better start looking at your home folder to see what you can remove, you have 40gig but its everything, no seperate /home [14:22] phaer: desktop effects are disabled [14:22] JerVA, ? 1) am on on 9.04 2) that was not the question. :) [14:22] iamkitchen: then reinstall compiz ;) [14:22] phaer: how, i can't type in terminal :( [14:23] anyone have a recommendation for an alternative to the itunes music store?

Login there, run: DISPLAY=:0 metacity & [14:23] ctrl, in german [14:23] iamkitchen, alt F2 then type sudo apt-get install compiz && apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [14:24] iamkitchen: ah. strg=ctrl, i'm using a german keyboard, sorry ;) [14:24] endeavormac: try amazon mp3 store?

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [14:31] is it that we shouldn't be root in the terminal or konsole [14:31] ? [14:31] mezquitale, will that fix it automaticly or will I still have to set the jack settings? [14:31] only use sudo for this purposes? [14:31] omkar: Correct. [14:31] any specific reason except security [14:31] okay, that's right. [14:31] acer aspire one camera drivers?

[14:32] mezquitale, I already have the ubuntu studio look installed but not the rest [14:32] mcw, you might have to adjust a setting for the mic, like youll have to raise the volume on the mic or you might have to configure ardour to use the correct mic [14:32] does autologin make security weaker? [14:32] So, I managed to recompile gnome-applets with support for the mixer applet and that helped a lot, but I'd like to get the old volume control back in Karmic. I wonder which package I should look at. [14:32] not loging [14:32] security of password [14:32] i am talking abt the shell or kde konsole [14:32] omkar: sudo is good about logging commands performed under its auspices; a very handy feature.

[14:33] hi. don't you know a way how to easily download a deb package WITH ALL ITS dependencies in a non-debian Linux system? [14:33] Hi people! How do you make Ubuntu into Xubuntu? (Or the other way around.) [14:33] please answer seriously [14:33] mezquitale, do you know the teminal command to get ubuntu studio [14:33] Xubuntus: Install xubuntu-desktop [14:33] acer aspire one camera drivers?? [14:34] The program "root" is not installed right now, you can install it by typing: apt-get install root-system-bin [14:34] cichlasoma: I guess you could set up an apt. [14:34] Hi all [14:34] omkar, by selecting exactly which commands you need elevated privilages for, there is less chance you will dome someing inadvertant that will brick you machine [14:34] Pici: Wow, that easy? [14:34] mezquitale: yup, according to the housmate administering the router, if i can get an IP packet to the router on port 333 it'll redirect to the relvant port on my machine. [14:34] fml [14:34] omkar, there is no such thing as a root password, you need to read about "sudo" then ask more questions [14:34] cichlasoma: But why do you want to do it? [14:34] I wanna know why the installation of slapd tool a lot of time [14:34] okay coool [14:34] especially in "the Setting up" step [14:34] Pici: And nothing changes when it comes to drivers and installed programs? [14:34] Xubuntus, take a look at the links at the bottom left http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php [14:35] mezquitale: as far as i knew, that meant i only needed to find the right IPaddress to get to the router, but when i try on myipaddress.com, using the IP i got from there doesn't help me [14:35] Xubuntus: Nope, nothing at all. [14:35] omkar, please what ever you do, dont chmod 777 / [14:35] fanboi: okay that didn't work, but when I started up I opened terminal without opening anything else and typed compiz and it's working now [14:35] Xubuntus, the installed apps will change if you remove ubuntu-desktop as per the link I gave you [14:36] fanboi: but now why would it make me do that? [14:36] mcw, I think it's sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop, youll also have to install the real time kernel, you can ask someone in #ubuntustudio on how to do that [14:36] ok [14:36] Cale: I'm in Slax, I can convert deb packages, unpack and run them with no package manager hapilly. But you know what the dependencies-hell is... [14:36] i really need to know if camera drivers exist for aspire one? and how can i enable vga/s-video, i would like to use a projector for a presentation on linux. [14:36] cichlasoma: Yeah, apt is what you use to solve that problem, but it's probably simpler just to change to a distribution that uses it. [14:37] The program "root" is not installed right now, you can install it by typing: apt-get install root-system-bin [14:37] ???

Usually apt is what takes care of the dependencies-hell for you. ;) [14:39] Dougal, I know it works internally, you use dyndns.com so that it works from anywhere on the internet [14:40] thanks everyone for the help!!! waste of time. [14:40] Cale: You've got it... ;-) [14:41] Hi there, does anyone know if there is a way to launch vpnclient in a verbose mode or if it logs - I am looking or more details on why it is failing to connect - thanks === [A]Way is now known as [A]KangB [14:41] mezquitale: what exactly will dyndns do to help? if i can't make it work just by finding the right IP address to plug in to Putty, then that means i'm missing something fundamental about the system. What is it that dyndns will do to help? === taneli_ is now known as taneli [14:42] Dougal, dyndns allows to you just remember a hostname instead of the IP address as the dyndns client will keep the IP address updated to the name [14:42] Does anyone know offhand if I go to the trouble of downloading the source for gnome-media and mess around with it, if I'm likely to find a switch I can flip to remove the new dependency of the sound mixer on pulseaudio or not? === TheFunkbomb_ is now known as TheFunkbomb [14:42] Cale: apt-get source gnome-media [14:43] Pici: yeah, that's what I'm about to try :) [14:43] Dougal, but if its not working remotely I'd be looking at a router config issue [14:43] Dougal, youre right, first you have to configure the router, you mentioned that you can log in fine when you are logged in using the router? [14:43] can someone give me a hand with my java? javac disappeared somehow during the update and I have a java lab this afternoon [14:43] Cale: well if you fetch sources upstream and isolate the revision that made it depend on pulseaudio, I'd say you have a decent shot... [14:44] !java > linuxbman [14:44] linuxbman, please see my private message [14:44] Now that I look at it, it looks like there are options in the configure script for toggling pulseaudio support. [14:44] So that's something. [14:44] Maybe I can get back the nice gstreamer mixer :) [14:44] malitech: thanks, i'll wait till he gets home then [14:44] thanks [14:44] I just received an error when trying to update.

[14:45] Speculater, youre using karmic?? [14:45] mezquitale: I can log in over the private network, using a 192.168 address, if i'm on another computer on the same network. If that's what you mean [14:45] I am [14:46] Though, I'd really appreciate it (in case any ubuntu developers are listening), if in the future Ubuntu would just work properly without relying so much on pulseaudio, which seems to assume that nobody is going to want to control the volume for their headphones and speakers separately :P [14:46] Crashed the hell out of my desktop, but did wonders for my laptop... I have mixed feelings. === Bertik is now known as register [14:46] mezquitale: might be a simple as the router not forwrarding things on like my landlord promissed it would, but he was very confident. That's why i was asking, in case i'd missed anything [14:46] (actually, I don't care if you'd just want to ensure that pulseaudio actually worked worth a damn ;) [14:46] Speculater, is there a reason you cant install the prop drivers?

[14:47] Speculater, what card do you have [14:47] Dougal, in order for you to be able to access your machine through ssh from anywhere in the internet the router needs to route the connection to your ssh server, you do that by opening a port in your router and assigning it to the IP of your ssh server, your ssh server should have a static IP so that it never changes [14:47] saracen1: if you press ESC do the arrow keys work ok? [14:47] when trying to move the cursor [14:48] yeah [14:48] linuxfanboi Geforce 8800 [14:48] no.org [14:48] did you try manualy installing from nvidia yet?

[14:49] Dougal, it sounds like the port youre using is the default one though, did you configure your client and ssh server to use a non-standard port, if youre using the default port it's qutie possible your ISP is blocking it [14:49] linuxfanboi I haven't tried that yet, but I know the problem has something to do with the order of loading the driver and the default system setting, in the usplash it tries about 6 resolutions, the ultimately settles on 800 x 600, but flickers and doesn't allow me to type, and in the log it states "Nvidia drivers failed to initialize" [14:49] annonymorse, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.lst? [14:50] Annonymorse, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the extra line [14:50] I just installed ubuntu in a virtual box with winxp as the host. my wireless keyboard is apparently not recognized, but the wireless mouse is... with no keyboard, how will i run commands and such? lshw, etc to diagnose?

[14:52] Speculater, go to http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-9746.html follow instructions and see if that's any better, might me something buggy going on with the aotumatic install [14:52] how to copy a complette hdd with dd? is it even possible? so that the copied data can be booted like the original-disk? [14:52] mezquitale, the router assigns an IP for each machine on the LAN , but what about the router's IP , does it have to be static to ssh remotely from outside?

If you haven't built an account it's your root or mysql user account [14:54] Dougal, now we go back to dyndns.com, the IP on your router changes unless you have a static IP. When you log in from the outside you have to use the router IP, the IP changes all the time so you have to make sure youre using the correct one [14:54] heitjuh: And with a password that you have set during install.

[15:50] Introuble: basically, pulseaudio really sucks if you care about configuring your audio equipment in any more detail than changing the master volume, and nobody seems to care. All the gnome audio stuff is moving in the direction of deprecating anything that isn't pulseaudio and Ubuntu is going along with that.

[16:09] snausages, unlucky mate [16:10] erusul: I'm thinking it might be a better idea to install hardy beside koala [16:10] xemnas: I'd look it up on packages.ubuntu.com and install it separately. [16:10] Which is correct, ~/.local/share/games/MyGame or ~/.local/share/MyGame? [16:10] seems i might have to install from scratch, given all the errors [16:10] X-Seti: eh, in the history of linux upgrades I'd still have to call this a success :) [16:10] I installed this hot-babe from the medibuntu repo...

I tried "apt-get install perl=5.8.1" and it said "unknown version number".

[16:37] jrib, I dont understand how to list groups and users, see what is standard, see what is on my server, or set them up properly. [16:38] Dravekx, users are people and groups are a way of combining people into areas that give the same abilities [16:38] !groups [16:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about groups [16:38] Dravekx, /etc/passwd and /etc/group [16:38] groups is one of thoise thigs i rarely use.

[16:58] My main problem is the slow internet but in 9.10, it makes it miswable to surf webpages or download anything. I am using firefox and chromium it also affects synaptic. It takes a while to resolve the host. Once it does that it is fast. [16:58] rashed2020, try it in the home folder and see if it works there [16:58] Dr_Willis: I used unetbootin-windows-377... [16:58] Lawrence, for Server, you'll have to do a Netboot installation [16:58] the problem is that grub loads the correct kernel, and the correct initrd, but initrd is trying to mount the old (wrong) partition as rootfs.

I formatted FAT-32 and used the iso and burned to the usb drive [17:00] and would it bet better to use virtual pc over virtualbox (considering performance / features available) [17:00] I belive it is Bug #433972 , the internet takes awhile to connect to each site no matter what program you use [17:01] It says the cd-rom mount succeeded but the available cd is not an ubuntu cd... however all the files are on the usb. [17:01] nvme: bo idea, but vbox works very good eith 9.10 and 768Mb ram, much better that 9.04 on same amount memory [17:01] om26er: forgot to put your name - I belive it is Bug #433972 , the internet takes awhile to connect to each site no matter what program you use [17:01] Lawrence: some one just said using unetbootin may not work properly with the server iso. [17:01] jlabomb: tried using any other browser? [17:02] but if I add a new bookmark, how can I change its icon?

[17:03] g'day all [17:03] SalvoMaltese, ooh ... that is hard coded into libglib2 [17:03] nvme: far as i know vbox has all features that virtual pc offer (attlest that impression vpc home gives ) [17:03] would anyone recommend to not upgrade to 9.10? [17:03] SalvoMaltese, you can't change that. [17:03] i heard of people having issues [17:03] om26er: sorry not use to talking like this - I use chromium and firefox, it also happens in evolution and synaptic [17:03] mick_laptop: if you're worried about all the bugs being ironed out before you dive in, you can wait [17:03] I like 9.10 [17:03] mick_laptop: or if you like to explore, i definately recommend it [17:04] uff...

[17:08] There's like 100 groups and 50 users preinstalled from the get go. [17:08] ? [17:08] Dravekx_: if you want fine grained control and security yes ;) [17:08] Speculater, select "OK" and then let the installer compile the drivers [17:08] docmax: it's not only ubuntu, it's all unix systems. but believe it or not, unix systems have about 90% use in enterprises, however there's more money in windows and mac [17:08] TheInfinity, does everything have a group and user?

[17:29] trancex: i'm not sure anybody has an answer to your issue at this moment. perhaps you need to view the properties of the panel [17:29] trancex: and see if by default it is not setup to be on the side [17:29] maybe I should run dpkg-reconfigure on the kernel image package ? [17:29] would this rebuild initrd ? [17:30] sobersabre: update-initramfs [17:30] hi everyone [17:30] sobersabre: You sure you need to rebuld the initrd? [17:30] erUSUL, namp is command not found...

[18:26] jedi06: backup, backup and expect it to tits up [18:26] UnnamedPlayer, okay what you did was follow the instructions for reinstating grub 0.97 instead of grub1.97 (After you installed win7) [18:26] anyone else having problems making xvids run on karmic?

Back to pidgin it is! [19:16] i think something is wrong with my GRUB. When i turn my comp on, it just stands there, nothing is counting, nothing is happening.... Then i have to switch my keyboard to PS/2 since it doesnt work on USB, and click Enter, and then switch back, its frustrating... Why doesnt it just countdown end enter kubuntu?? [19:16] Thanks, later :P [19:16] any idea / personal choice? [19:17] deathspike: I went back to pidgin [19:17] kubetto: why are you not using ext3 instead of ext2? [19:17] lovre: is usb keyboard enabled in the bios? [19:18] jrib because / is supposed to be a partition where less disk writing is required [19:18] Scunizi: i dont know, i suppose its not, but im not even sure there is such a possibility. But even if it were, i would like it to countdown and not wait for me to press enter... [19:18] kubetto: meh, why wouldn't you want journaling?

[19:20] |sanchez|: you're still too vague. Check bugs.ubuntu.com about specific bugs you care about. Once ubuntu is released it is stable by definition. It only receives security updates and major bug fixes.

[19:26] Scunizi: anyway, I already found ah way, %s/karmic/ludid/g seems to work when applied to sources.lst [19:26] in IDE mode I can see the disk in gparted, in other modes I don't - but the installer still doesn't pick them up [19:26] td123: good.. then you're off and running!

[19:30] i would like some help from someone who did successfully install dual boot ubuntu 9.10 on a MacBook [19:30] mahngiel, okay. i'll look into it then [19:30] nameless: same here :P [19:30] detrate_: is this after the initial menu and hitting "Try ubuntu without changes" ?? [19:30] I've noticed that in some Linux distributions (Fedora, for instance), within Gnome, when you adjust a window size, there's a small window that displays the current window size. How can I enable that in Ubuntu? [19:30] scunizi: yes reiserfs was another option, along with xfs that is said to be very good too [19:30] prodleg which step ? [19:30] Scunizi: either way [19:31] can't do it from cd, need to know if there's any other workable way [19:31] both take an unusually long time... then just go to a black screen [19:31] detrate_: so you never get the initial menu? [19:31] I get the 'install or try' [19:31] 'check memory, etc' [19:31] prodleg yes you can, just F6 -> noacpi [19:31] Anyone else had a problem with ubuntu installation of 9.10 not showing up partitions? [19:31] but I choose either install or try and it takes forever [19:31] step 4 of 6 - borked :( [19:31] I checked the cd, verified the md5sum [19:31] scunizi: actually I don't know if the biggest risk is using ext4 on /home or ext2 on / ;-D [19:31] nameless, what? [19:32] detrate_: ok.. at that menu hit F6 and in the kernel line before quiet splash .. enter pci=nomsi and hit enter.. see if that works. [19:32] I have good download but terrible (less than 3kb/s) upload speed from my server in my local network, any tips?

[20:09] ScabbyMadman: not whout losing your mind [20:09] I installed Ubuntu 9.10 fresh with a pre-existing Windows Vista install. Should Ubuntu have installed Grub 2 or legacy? [20:09] and ICMP is application thing over UDP (AFAIK) [20:09] SMPlayer now working. How do I tell it to NOT resize the movie/file being played (when I resize the windows)?!

[20:27] MightyMu: I mean, you need Truecrypt instead of LVM for that, right? [20:27] MightyMu: I'm used to LVM [20:27] jrib: what does that mean? sorry, a little new to ubuntu [20:27] pronoy: how do I check that? [20:27] * MightyMu hasn't used LVM, but will check to see how/if TrueCrypt works with it [20:28] MightyMu, I'm not sure that what i want [20:28] hellyes: ubottu gave you a link to winehq's appdb - a place to get help with windows apps [20:28] ah, ok [20:28] thanx [20:28] hellyes: http://appdb.winehq.org [20:28] what's the command to see all active users in terminal? (inluding SSH)? [20:28] goose: w [20:28] goose: who [20:28] anyone here have ubuntu server? [20:28] !anyone | Mack_ [20:28] Mack_: 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? [20:28] goose: "w" or "who" ? [20:28] !anyone | Mack_ [20:29] goose: who -a [20:29] erUSUL: like it [20:29] why did I lose alt+tab in ubuntu [20:29] ok then [20:29] question of the day: upgraded to karmic from jaunty and now cannot mount 2 separate sata hard drives which are 250 gb internal ext3 , fdisk -l shows them as /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc both have a 1 after them to represent the partition, when i try and mount either of them i get mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist [20:29] and how i can I renable double click to mute [20:29] sobersabre, the weird thing is if I use skype 2.0.72 I can choose either the onboard audio or the USB device with messing around with the pulse audio spund preferences...so maybe its a skype issue [20:29] dassouki: are you using compiz? [20:29] ActionParsnip: :) [20:29] ActionParsnip: no [20:29] oh yea these both worked fine in jaunty [20:29] odd. I just accepted the latest kernel update and after reboot, nvidia module was not recompiled and I had to drop to tty to do a reinstall of nvidia-kernel-source-185 to get it to go... [20:29] can anyone tell the difference speed wise between server and desktop [20:29] dassouki: hmm, strange [20:30] Mack_: server is quicker due to less stuff running (like x servers and gnome desktop) [20:30] ActionParsnip: agreed, although i had compiz enabled long time ago [20:30] anyone here using the latest ubuntustudio? [20:30] I'm looking for a package that adds a context menu to look up the highlighted word in the dictionary. Does such a package exist? [20:30] keseldude, like for the whole desktop? [20:31] yeah, or at least for gnome-terminal [20:31] dassouki: you could check in keyboard settings [20:31] hmm [20:31] keseldude, man ispell [20:31] anyone know what arg to pass to the mount command to mount a "DOS executable (device driver)" partition? [20:31] ActionParsnip: thats what I had assumed, can you tell a difference in php loading speed? [20:31] there's no manpage for it [20:31] yeah [20:31] maybe I don't have it installed [20:31] Isn't there a command to update the x-server if you're having problems running it? [20:32] wrgb: why not just tell us what the issue is? [20:32] ActionParsnip: you were right [20:32] it was disabled [20:32] anyone? [20:32] MightyMu, ok. i guess screen is what i need. thanks [20:32] Thx for this time, people! Byebye. [20:32] marks256: it kicks ass. ;) [20:32] Mack_: not sure, i'd assume equal if you have enough resources, otherwise the desktop would be slower due to having to swap out data to swap [20:32] MightyMu, it looks like it! :D [20:33] dassouki: i try [20:33] ActionParsnip: well, its an oldish computer, pentium 4 [20:33] guys is it possible to "theme" the new login screen? [20:33] anyone here used autossh under cygwin before? [20:33] Mack_: should be fine, depends what you run as well. If its a proper server then run server [20:33] Deep6: I sure hope so [20:34] MightyMu: got any hints on how? [20:34] Do you know does this still apply with karmic: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/vlan and do one have to reboot, in order to use vlan? [20:34] Deep6: this new gdm is awful [20:34] is it gdm? [20:34] Enter text here...hiiiiiiiiii [20:34] I am not even sure any more [20:34] is there a way to mute the sound when the sound icon is double clicked just like in 9.04 and previous versions [20:34] Something is messed. I removed the old kernel (*.14) in favor for the new kernel I got through the updater (*.15) and now I cannot connect to the internet. [20:34] Deep6: there's a thread about it, but what I got from it it is taht you can change the background, colors, and fonts [20:34] ubuntu spanish === Jordan_U_ is now known as Jordan_U [20:34] ActionParsnip: I'm in the middle of converting it to server from desktop, thats y I wanted to clone the drive, but it runs sql, irc, web, mail, and ssh servers [20:34] maybe one I'm forgetting [20:34] that'd be a good start, do you have the link? [20:35] Deep6: lemme look, one sec [20:35] I had no problem before I completely removed the older kernel through Synaptic. Any suggestions? [20:35] anyone help with mounting a filesystem? [20:35] how to install package for i386,486 on machine with i686 kernel(program worked in ubuntu 8.10 but make error 1 in 9.10) [20:35] hi, I'm looking to get a Wireless N dongle - anyone know one that works easily in Ubuntu 9.10? [20:35] Mack_: if you can get it running without desktop then do it? [20:35] Is there a command to update the x-server if you're having problems running it? [20:35] rampage73: Just access the filesystem and type your password in. [20:36] dragan: what error? i386,486 i686 are all compatible [20:36] Deep6: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1202843 [20:36] it's not terribly recent [20:36] That SHOULD do it anyway... [20:36] wrgb: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [20:36] but hey, it's 50-some pages long, there's bound to be something useful in there [20:36] tiox, not a network filesystem but an internal sata drive that used to work in jaunty [20:37] ActionParsnip: thanx, I know there was one, couldn't remember it [20:37] Ooooh... sorry, I'm a nub myself. [20:37] :P [20:37] when i do sudo make error 1 no such directory but when i do sudo make -f :program was built for i486 [20:37] tiox, no problem we are all here to help and learn [20:37] dragan: so you are compiling something ... [20:37] yes [20:37] dragan: have you ran configure. You should read the readme or intstall file [20:37] tiox, at least i know people can see me! [20:38] !server | Mack_ [20:38] Mack_: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html - Use the #ubuntu-server channel for support [20:38] dragan: ActionParsnip is right (as usual ;P) [20:38] there is no cofigure === ratasong is now known as rattasongw [20:38] in readme just sudo make sudo make install [20:38] anyone know of a 802.11n dongle that works? [20:38] dongle or card, not bothered [20:38] question of the day: upgraded to karmic from jaunty and now cannot mount 2 separate sata hard drives which are 250 gb internal ext3 , fdisk -l shows them as /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc both have a 1 after them to represent the partition, when i try and mount either of them i get mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist [20:38] How do I run programs not listed in the Applications drop-down menu? I installed both 7zip and rar through the software center but I can't run either of them. [20:39] !hcl | richthegeek also www.linuxwireless.org has info [20:39] richthegeek also www.linuxwireless.org has info: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [20:39] Jetsetlemming: press alt+f2 [20:39] erUSUL: rare, specially after sailor jerry's [20:39] Jetsetlemming: terminal [20:39] Okay. I am going to make this as clear as can be. I had two kernels I can launch under GRUB, right? Last night I was asking about how to remove the older one to save some disk space and trim up my GRUB menu. What happened was, the next time I rebooted, I lost the capability to connect to the internet. [20:39] Where does MySQL save the db in ubuntu 9.04 desktop? This way I can save the db [20:39] Jetsetlemming: both are command line but you can use them from file-roller [20:39] How do I know what to type in the terminal, though? [20:39] Mack_: /var/lib/mysql/ [20:39] Jetsetlemming: 7zip and rar just plug into the standard archive-manager software [20:39] Jetsetlemming: file roller is a GUI for compressors [20:39] Mack_: for saving the dp please use mysqldump and not the files on the filesystem [20:39] erUSUL, ubottu: thanks! [20:39] I am on ubuntu 9.10, using the most recent kernel (*.15) === Glalx is now known as [[hello]] [20:40] I needed to extract some rars and Archive Manager seems like it can only do some of them, I don't know why, that's why I was installing the other programs [20:40] tiox: you need to configure driver under the newer kernel [20:40] Jetsetlemming: install package "unrar" [20:40] iceroot_: does mysqldump just give you the .sql files? [20:41] yes it does [20:41] Ugh... how do I go about doing that? [20:41] Mack_: yeah [20:41] Jetsetlemming: once rar is installed file-roller can create and extract any rar file [20:41] iceroot_: wuts the command to import those? Or should I just use phpMyAdmin [20:41] I wish I knew that earlier... it was working while the old kernel was there. [20:41] tiox: you need to run: sudo lshw -C network you will see what network device you have and websearch for guide [20:41] s [20:41] so why do my media players (including vlc) not play xvids anymore after my karmic upgrade? i have some success using gnome-mplayer but would like vlc to work again [20:42] Mack_: import is mysql --user=xxx --password=xxx < your-sql-file [20:42] Is file roller the same thing as archive manager? That's what shows up in the software center if I search for the former term [20:42] I want to explain something. I cannot access the internet. Period. [20:42] Deep6: Let me know if you find anything useful in there. I just ended up getting mad and giving up. :) [20:42] Mack_: for export (mysqldump) read the manpage man mysqldump [20:42] iceroot_: ok thanks, I'm trying to learn sql anyways, this should help a bit [20:42] Oh... nevermind. [20:42] does ubuntu-moblin-netbook-remix works only on intel atom or it also works on older laps ? [20:43] tiox, i am sorry what are you trying to do? [20:43] wow clonezilla is really slow right now [20:43] just put the desktop version on laptops [20:43] Enter text here...hiiiiiiii [20:43] !hi | gisel [20:43] gisel: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [20:43] how do i install chromium on ubuntux86? [20:43] the netbook remix is tailored to netbooks specifically pIsIq [20:43] I just want my internet connection back on Ubuntu, that's all. [20:43] There there any way to get a simple "right click -> extract here" command like I can use with winrar in windows? [20:43] hi [20:43] Hi! [20:43] kevin__: i have added a ppa with daily builds works like a charm [20:43] I'll check that thing out and see fi I cannot configure things myself. [20:43] i got a older amilo 512ram, shall i but xubuntu or netbook remix ? [20:43] !ppa | kevin__ [20:43] kevin__: 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. [20:44] tiox, wifi or cable? [20:44] Jetsetlemming: I think 7zip will do that [20:44] hey guys quick question [20:44] pIsIq, do not try to use netbook remix. If it manages to install at all, it will not work right [20:44] ah, I found what I wanted for a system-wide dictionary: Artha [20:44] pIsIq: I'd use xubuntu or just plain ubuntu on that machine [20:45] steve2 shoot [20:45] hmm, so xubuntu right ? its faster then ubuntu-desktop ? [20:45] how do i get ubuntu to grab the correct time for my time zone [20:45] I have just got my updates that have poped up they all installed with no prob but It has new distribuion release 9.10 is available now if I take it am I gonna lose everything that is on my desktop and everything that I have installed [20:46] steve2: no, only if something goes wrong [20:46] steve2, no just went through this with 4 pcs did not lose anything [20:46] hi [20:46] so i can take this update without losing anything [20:46] I am going to install ubuntu for the first time ever. How much space should i partition from my Windows 7 Computer? [20:46] pIsIq: in some cases yes, different hardware does different things, ubuntu runs OK on 512mb ram, in fact that is what I use on a virtual machine, whereas you might get a little better performance with xubuntu [20:46] steve2: you should always backup before doing a distribution upgrade though, in case you have problems [20:46] Is there any descent ati driver for radeon x300 on karmic ? [20:46] Jetsetlemming: nautilus has that. file-roller provides it [20:47] steve2, as far as i know yes like i said i did it 4 times here at home different hardware on each did not lose anything [20:47] Gametime, i do 6-8 Gb in vm's [20:47] Gametime: how big is your hard drive [20:47] its a 500gb. [20:47] well its just a couple movies and some games for the wii not a big deal if I lose them but I just wanted to know for sure thanks alot much appreciated [20:47] Gametime, thats probably overkill [20:47] Well, that was unexpected... [20:47] steve2, of course this is not a guarantee that you won't just highly unlikely [20:47] k3b doesn't see my cd drive... [20:47] ohmy: ati has discontinued support for that card in linux, there are some workarounds but you will have to search for them [20:47] thanks guys [20:47] !paste [20:47] 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! [20:47] hi [20:47] steve2, no problem [20:48] can some please tell how can I write a udev rule to run just once? [20:48] fccf, i have seen some, but since i have a different kernel version i expect they wont work [20:48] i have a 500gb hard drive, in which i take a lot of movies / music on it as well. Will 8 gb make all of my massive dreams of doing stuff with ubuntu be enough? [20:48] ohmy: keep searching, someone may have found a way [20:48] can some please tell how can I write a udev rule to run just once? [20:48] fccf, if you have any links it could be excellent maybe they are different from mine [20:48] fccf, thank you [20:48] upgraded to karmic from jaunty and now cannot mount 2 separate sata hard drives which are 250 gb internal ext3 , fdisk -l shows them as /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc both have a 1 after them to represent the partition, when i try and mount either of them i get mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist [20:48] Gametime, it depends on what you want to do with the OS [20:49] can anyone help? [20:49] dragan: ActionParsnip is right (as usual ;P)????? [20:49] Gametime, since youre new, i would recommend around 8GB [20:49] pIsIq, do not try to use netbook remix. If it manages to install at all, it will not work right [20:49] Gametime: I usually set up ubuntu in a VM, and i give it 8GB. it depends on what you want to do with it, but if you're just screwing around, 8 is fine [20:49] ohmy: not here, that is a whole different cluster in a whole different state [20:49] I play to do MANY things with linux: 8 gb is enough, you all agree? [20:49] Gametime, do it [20:49] lol [20:49] Yes sir. [20:49] Gametime, yes it is enough [20:50] can some please tell how can I write a udev rule to run just once? [20:50] Does anyone have a good website to help me find out what to do / how to enjoy my first moments in ubuntu? [20:50] Gametime: for root ? for roo + home ? [20:50] so why do my media players (including vlc) not play xvids anymore after my karmic upgrade? i have some success using gnome-mplayer but would like vlc to work again [20:50] Gametime: www.ubuntupocketguide.com [20:50] Tri boot: Ubuntu/XP/7 [20:50] fccf, nice [20:50] thanks for all the help. [20:50] Gametime: help.ubuntu.com [20:50] Gametime: and wiki.ubuntu.com [20:51] Gametime, first linux? [20:51] Gametime: if you've never used linux before, you'll probably have some moments of frustration. dont give up. [20:51] Gametime, i was going to say the same thing streblo did [20:51] Gametime, ditto [20:52] streblo, isn't it funny how frustration becomes interesting and fun after a while [20:52] first time ever im going on linux. im a very patient, quick learning, and understanding guy :D [20:52] docbrown, lol so true [20:52] will be a fun experience. [20:52] docbrown: It turns back into frustration on the other side, though [20:52] Gametime, come back here often =) [20:52] a have read configure dough i just need to know is there any way to compile i386 or i486 packages from source on i686 ubuntu 9.10 [20:52] ive used linux for about 6 years or so, and i still feel like a beginner some times, but i can do more with it than i can with any other operating system [20:52] that is all i need [20:52] MightyMu, for me its only frustrating when there are time constraints [20:53] i came to this channel to ask a stupid question [20:53] !ask | streblo [20:53] streblo: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:53] * MightyMu will happily provide a stupid answer [20:53] same here [20:53] Is there a general chat that doesn't pertain to questions? [20:53] ubottu shut up [20:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about shut up [20:53] #ubuntuone channel [20:53] crazyspai: #ubuntu-offtopic [20:53] !ot [20:53] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [20:53] streblo, lol [20:53] #ubuntuone channel [20:54] ranjan: ? [20:54] Thank you. [20:54] sorry [20:54] streblo, what was your question or has it been answered already [20:54] my question was: is there a utility that will set my clock for me [20:54] Yes! [20:54] streblo: system>preferences>date and time [20:55] so i went to launchpad and i added ppa:chromiaum-daily/ppa --- how do i actually use chromium browser? [20:55] i need some help with sshfs [20:55] anyone know how to work that [20:55] streblo, i agree with erUSUL at this point [20:55] erUSUL: i dont see 'date and time' [20:55] streblo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime [20:55] hi all can anyone point me to installing dtc on ubuntu lts [20:55] kevin__: after adding the ppa .. you still have to install cromimum ... then run it [20:55] hey, can someone tell me how to keep a local ubuntu mirror controlled in sync? [20:55] fccf, where do i install it? or how? [20:55] streblo, my bad system administration time and date [20:55] streblo: my gui is in spanish look for something similar [20:56] system - ADMINISTRATION - time and date [20:56] I will do something like a dry run sync [20:56] i see nothing related to date/time, this is why i came here to ask [20:56] streblo: ahh ok is in administration not in preferences [20:56] streblo, which version of ubuntu? [20:56] I need help with sshfs [20:56] kevin__: it will show up in packages ... or just 'sudo apt-get install cromimum' in terminal after running 'sudo apt-get update' [20:56] goddard: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [20:56] my permissions aren't set correctly [20:57] fccf, k i'll try that [20:57] how to see what files are installed by grub2-splashimages [20:57] drwx------ 1 1006 513 0 2009-11-10 17:23 laptop [20:57] drwx------ 1 1006 513 0 2009-11-10 17:23 laptop [20:57] fccf, but is there a distinction bewteen chromium the game and the browser? [20:57] should be under the system menu then administration then "time and date" if not i would say you can do it also on the CLI [20:57] streblo: you could try time-admin in a terminal [20:57] opps [20:57] it wont let me access any of the fiels [20:57] trism_: i just discovered that, thanks [20:57] trism_, yes thanks learned something new today [20:59] hello, i install avast home for linux, how to make it run when login ubuntu? [20:59] I am on the fuse group [20:59] quick question - how do I disable gdm and enable kdm? I'm getting weird errors from update-rc.d stating that the gdm script doesn't meet the LSB requirements, it seems that gdm has been converted to an upstart script. [21:00] all the permissions for the file are set corrrectly i believe [21:00] but it is running cygwin off a xp machine [21:00] I install glipper on karmic, and I can't find the binary or add it to the panel [21:00] is this a known bug [21:00] it seems other people haev this problem also [21:00] hi...how are all;)! well.. i need a aiptek dv3300 funcionality an webcam in 9.04, this only func. an "pendrive" [21:00] Is there a way to create a backup of compiz settings the same way you can in CCSM through the terminal? i want to use it in my backup script.

[21:01] in ~/firefox [21:02] hi all [21:02] hi [21:02] hi [21:02] i think u need to read READ ME , but as traditional u need to ./configure, make , make install [21:02] KnifeySpooney, i dont see one [21:02] does someone know of a software to recored or work like in cubase on ubuntu with a guitar USB external sound card? [21:02] it was identified nicely by HAL as the Zoom c5.1 device [21:02] however, not sure which software to use and how [21:03] helper, i extracted via GUI, and said ./run-mozilla.sh but it didnt work either [21:03] nope sorry sivang no clue on that one [21:03] docbrown ok ./run-mozilla.sh what it give u ? [21:03] will chromium update itself whenver there is a successful new build? [21:03] Hi again! How do you forward in SMPlayer/mplayer (in a stream)? I can't jump to where I want to be! === MadMax is now known as Guest31803 [21:04] helper, said "cannot execute" [21:04] helper, had admin privilidges [21:05] docbrown only ? have you done by privilge access? [21:05] hi there!! i'm experiencing troubles with VLC..can anybody help me? [21:05] Hi, I need some help with xorg.conf, can anyone help? [21:05] kevin__: if you enable the chromium daily ppa repository, then you'll see the new builds as soon as they are made. [21:05] helper, don't understand... i said "sudo ./run-mozilla.sh" and keyed in my credentials [21:05] such as ? [21:05] does anyone have Glipper (clipboard manager) working in 9.10 (karmic) ? [21:06] Viking667: I read somewhere that you can disable upstart scripts by doing something like mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.conf-disabled, but I haven't tried it yet...seems like an ugly solution, upstart still needs some work if there doesn't exist a better one yet [21:06] helper: Ubuntu 9.10 does not configure my screen res properly, it only gives 800x600 max and I want 1024x768. My monitor will support higher than this so that's ok. Graphics is intel 82865G.

[23:29] erUSUL: wikipedia claims bsd sed later added -i but meh [23:30] jrib: that could be...this server is ancient [23:30] hcook: ah [23:30] anybody can help me with my sound problem? [23:30] hi there i have a dell mini 10, just installed 9.10. the wireless didnt install! please would somebody help me sort the problem? [23:31] but anyhow temp files aren't much of a drawback in my situation, so i'll just rework it without using -i. thanks to both of you for your help [23:31] Jordan_U: commented i meant, Line 5 in the pastebin [23:31] JayX: have you run "sudo update-grub" ;) [23:31] gasull: be more specific [23:31] gasull u can also try the gui instead of terminal just to be safe and sure: root>bin...then search for them that way [23:31] rgr: I'm having problems with sound in Ubuntu 9.10. I did a fresh install twice, and sounds works in the beginning but stops working at some point. Only extra packages I've installed are some codecs that Totem asked me to install when I opened an .avi file. The movie plaid afterwards, but after a reboot I have no sound. It has happened twice today as I've done a fresh install twice trying to solve the problem. How can I fix this? Than [23:31] has anyone installed 9.10 server on a dell poweredge R805? i have a dell sas 6 controller. i can install onto raid 1 but cant boot off it. [23:31] hi, have just installed karmic. when i plug my ipod in, rhythmbox sees it but banshee doesn't. have searched online, tried purging rhythmbox but no joy. can anyone help? [23:32] gasull did you do an upgrade a new install. There have been a lot of problems with the upgrade and sound. I haven't found any anwers. I had to install new. [23:32] ncfi1013: what do you mean with "root>bin..."? [23:32] daveycake: do you have no sound at all [23:32] arand, lol yes run is evey time i update > save > close the ect/defualt/grub [23:32] The latest version of rtorrent in the repo for ubuntu server 8.04 appears to be rtorrent 0.8.0. I'd like to install the latest stable release (0.8.4). I don't want to compile from source because I want to make sure apt-get is aware of all installed packages and dependencies. What should I do? [23:32] verbal: maybe more help in #ubuntu-server ... i for one am not used to see SAS controllers ;) [23:32] The_Doctor: I installed new, but the I got automatic updates and then it stopped working. [23:32] I never expect sound to work on Ubuntu 9.10 at this stage to be honest. It's a total mess :-( I'm in the middle of upgrading another machine but don't hold out too much hope of success. [23:33] erUSUL: oh there's an ubuntu-server. thanks! [23:33] Could someone access an encrypted home folder from another 9.10 install on the same machine? [23:33] *help me [23:33] Lownin: see if a more recent version is in !backports [23:33] Probably too late to say now, but I figured out the problem that kept me from the internet... [23:33] gasull yr usr folder displayed on the left side of yr home folder is called root [23:33] !backports | Lownin [23:33] Lownin: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [23:33] Also I have no wireless, like daveycakes, but I'll worry about that later. [23:33] For some oddd reason id did not auto-connect. A restart fixed my issue. [23:33] gasull: did you run speaker-test and lspci etc? [23:33] !rar | roneau2005 [23:33] roneau2005, please see my private message [23:33] it* [23:34] rgr: I'll do it now [23:34] Thank you erUSUL and ubottu. I was not aware. I appriciate the lead =) [23:34] rgr: but sound was working before a reboot [23:34] how do i route *ALL* traffic out of SOCKS host? [23:34] Im still on 9.04. If I plug in sound while an MP4 video is playing in VLC then it seems to freeze my desktop. If VLC is not open, then its fine. Have any ideas? [23:34] do you guys know why registering a domain at yahoo, at first seems like its U$ 9.xx per year, and then it shows "Recurring Charges" U$34.xx... do you understand what are those? (i know its totalyl unrelated, but i dunno noone else to ask :) [23:34] the point is its not now. indicating the wrong module is loaded or something. proceed as if you had installed a new card. [23:34] I'm ssh tunnelling so host would be localhost, port 8080 [23:35] haws: it means it's $9 for the first year and more thereafter [23:35] hello, i'm looking through the --help for "ls" but i might just be missing it.. is there a way to display all contents of a folder with full paths? [23:35] jwalsh: just because then i will supposedly have traffic on the site so i will pay more to have it... [23:35] ncfi1013: so you want me to search for pulse in /bin with Nautilus. I didn't find anything. [23:36] haws: no. it's because they want to give you a low initial price [23:36] haws: registrars don't actually provide hosting [23:36] JayX: Hmm, try setting it to just "5" run the update, and then paste the /boot/grub/grub.cfg again (I'm looking at the set_timeout thingys in there) [23:36] nukeslion, not that I know of, but then Im no terminal guru. But it sounds like you can write a bash file to fix it. [23:36] nukeslion, or rather emulate it, than fix it. [23:37] haws: registering a domain is different from buying hosting. though some services combine the two [23:37] arand k will set to 5 n restar [23:37] jwalsh: i know, sure.. but what if i want to buy it for life (like, how much does it cost ubuntu.com? must be a fortune) [23:37] How do I access an encrypted home folder from another 9.10 install on the same machine? [23:37] restart* arand [23:37] back [23:37] JayX: no need to restart [23:37] paul___i use amarok 2.2 to mount/sync my ipod the i go into the ipod_control folder when it shows up in the "devices recently plugged in" popup in the system tray. i then mount it/open in dolphin and go to the ipod_control folder and delete the songs from there. doing it that way also deletes orphaned songs from the ipod. [23:37] Is 9.10 really riddled with errors? [23:37] guys got some really werid issue with my ubuntu 9.10... news.bbc.co.uk takes FOREVER to load [23:37] i think so ! lol [23:37] haws: a) you can't get a domain for life. you have to pay each year. b) it depends on the domain and the registrar [23:37] My user wasn't in the audio group. I added it. [23:38] * gasull is going to reboot to see if sounds finally works [23:38] jwalsh: thanks a lot! [23:38] JayX: just set to 5 run the update-grub and then pastebin the /boot/grub/grub.cfg [23:38] haws: if you have to buy the domain from someone else, it costs a lot initially but it should be pretty cheap each year [23:38] haws: for instance [23:38] haws: my domain costs me about $9 each year (.com) [23:39] haws: top level domains vary wildly in price. [23:39] Hey, would anybody happen to know a .deb that'll enable my laptop to read SD cards? [23:39] gasull anything with the word pulse in it EXCEPT "libpulse" and "reboot" [23:39] Preferably in the universe or multiverse repos. [23:39] How do I access an encrypted home folder from another 9.10 install on the same machine? [23:39] gasull is nautilus kde? [23:40] jwalsh, have you had a look on the ubuntu forums? [23:40] do you ask that to every question asked here knoppies? [23:40] just those who repeat the questions over and over. [23:40] k GRUB_TIMEOUT="5" >> grub.cfg ,,>> http://pastebin.com/d1dd932d6 [23:40] if i have an optical drive that is capable of burning blu-rays does that mean that an 8gib dual layer dvdrdl can also be a blu-ray recordable disc? [23:41] repeating is fine if the time betwene is > a few mminutes. new people come and go. and its a one liner. [23:41] JayX: since for me I will have this grub.cfg file after running the update: which shows the set_timeout=200 :http://pastebin.com/m19ba4f51 [23:41] how can I mount the .iso file so APT will find/use it locally? [23:41] JayX: does the "update-grub" commad give errors for you? [23:42] * gasull still has no sound in his Ubuntu 9.10 (fresh install) after an automatic update [23:43] gasull: Did you try an older kernel? [23:43] Arand nope, this is what I get when i run update-grub http://pastebin.com/d245f2232 [23:43] Jordan_U: I only have one kernel in /boot [23:43] jordan_u that was also what i was going to suggest [23:43] JayX: There's your problem :) [23:43] JayX: You aren't using grub2 [23:44] Jordan_U: Only one vmlinuz-* file there. The one installed by default. [23:44] how can I mount the .iso file so APT will find/use it locally? [23:44] Hi. How can I connect the wireless if I only login from the Ctrl-Alt-F1 console ? [23:44] jeeves_moss try mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/test [23:44] Jordan_U, OMG are u serious! [23:44] lol [23:44] Jordan_U: should I install another kernel? The sound was working right after the install. [23:45] Jordan_U, Arand will rstart now.. if it fail i'll leave it for another ay! [23:45] gasull: Not the quickest way to debug but try reinstalling, then install etckeeper while sound is working ( etckeeper, once setup, will record all changes to files in /etc when you upgrade any package ) === Andorin is now known as Mohammud [23:45] The_Doctor, hummm, what would be the syntax be to make it an auto mount? [23:45] JayX: I am serious, would you like to install grub2? === usuario-master is now known as vo|d [23:46] Jordan_U: I'll guess I'll do that :-( Thanks === Mohammud is now known as Andorin [23:46] JayX: yep Jordan_U's right, that's what confusion stems from [23:46] jeeves_moss that should mount it permanently [23:46] Nautilus in list mode seems to ignore symbols in filenames when sorting. That is, "!_bbb.txt" sorts between "aaa.txt" and "ccc.txt". Correct? Why? Can this be changed? [23:46] gasull: Just quickly, have you tried "alsamixer -c 0" and checked that nothing is muted? [23:47] The_Doctor, I'd like to set up the distro's ISO into /mnt/distro/ so that I can set up APT to use it as the local copy (since I have a netbook with no CD-ROM drive) [23:47] gasull what i suggested was advice from a friend that is an advanced user. when he did it it worked on his computer. i didnt have to do it with mine but it is good advice to have. hes never steered me wrong before [23:47] gasull: Have you gone through the steps in 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 ?? [23:48] anyone got a suggestion for this issue? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1305238.html [23:49] when I run update-grub, should I see the changes reflect in /boot/grub/menu.lst right away? it doesn't seem to be doing anything [23:49] !sidebars [23:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about sidebars [23:49] dtcrshr: You are more likely to get help if you give a short description of the problem. That way if somene knows they are familiar with that subject they can check the link for more detailed info [23:49] I am fed up with this, can't record "what you hear" [23:49] Jordan_U, Arand.. FAILED lol will attempt another day :( Thanks for all your help! [23:49] !grub2 | balleyne [23:49] balleyne: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

[23:51] gasull: Turn them all up and make sure none have "MM" at the bottom [23:51] balleyne: np :) [23:51] is there a way to show screenshots [23:51] Ho can hellp me ?? [23:51] Federalu: !ask [23:51] what your problem [23:51] VirusTB: sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy is the commad to upgrade to start using grub2, otherwise there are easy instructions in grub-lagacy to do this.

Thanks [23:57] Arsin: do you mean you want ubuntu on a flash drive larger than 8GB, to be limited to only 8GB? [23:57] calamari_: It is 16GB, I want to limit Ubuntu to 8GB [23:57] !printer | vigdavies1 [23:57] vigdavies1: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[23:58] Arsin: well ubuntu wont go outside whatever partitions you set as mountpoints in the set up. [23:58] arand: I think it's actually the 2nd point in the 1st link: http://drowninginbugs.blogspot.com/2009/10/caveats-for-audio-in-910.html [23:58] Arsin: oh good...thanks. My wife & I just bought a Epson 610 multi-function unit and there's no driver within the Ubuntu 9.1 embedded library to get it going. I've installed gutenprint in trying to get it going. No success yet. Would you know of a fix for this ? [23:58] calamari_: and would I be able to install it so that I can read all files off windows without installing anything on the windows computer if I were to boot into windows?

[23:59] arand: But I don't understand the solution given there. [23:59] Arsin: well ubuntu can mount windows NTFS drives easily.
