Now I've removed openssh-server and its not putting the config files back. [00:00] What do I do? === Krak is now known as Jerome [00:01] gasull: the second link has a straightforward command to remove it. [00:01] arand: I killed slmodemd and I got sound. How do I remove this from the boot up? [00:01] arand: thanks [00:01] gasull: "sudo apt-get remove sl-modem-daemon" then you'll probably have to reboot [00:02] Arsin: just to check, do you know how to mount partitions in ubuntu? [00:02] eject the ipod jtwhite close amarok reopen amarok go into amarok prefs and look at plugins and see if ipod/mass storage is enabled then close amarok again and mount ipod in system tray popup and reopen amarok [00:03] calamari_: I know how to mount partitions, I think...

[00:04] Hello, need some help [00:04] gasull: np, glad to help. [00:04] calamari_: brb [00:04] Arsin: correct. for windows it will be something like "mount -t 3g-ntfs /dev/hda0 /host" - where hda0 represents where the windows partiton is, and /host is the folder you want to mount it to. these days, the "-t 3g-ntfs" bit is usually optional, but i put it there for clarity [00:05] Ho can hellp me ?? [00:05] I just trying this creature at the first time [00:05] Federalu: whats the problem? i might be able to help [00:05] Hey guys, can anyone tell me how well ubuntu works with tablet pc's that use the wacom usb driver?

Will ubuntu run on a windows installation using raid 5 array? please help [00:10] ZaNeIuM: so you want to backup the ubuntu partition to a file on the win7 partition? does your ghost software support ext3?

[00:11] @rusg, obvious question: did you try mounting it? [00:11] Arsin: could always save as a shell script for easy execution in the future [00:11] or does it just not show in dev [00:11] i am in need of help with Evolution. I am using Jaunty, very new user. My send receive button is grayed out. How do i fix this? [00:11] ncfi1013: look for something like images or backgrounds idk [00:11] ncfi1013: not sure off the top of my head.. was just a guess to look around there somewhere ;P [00:11] calamari_: shell? [00:11] rusg, you need to mount the file system on the live-cd first. The default is that your harddrive doesn't get mounted because the idea is it won't change anything/ie. safe to use [00:11] no, im afraid to cus i dont want to mess up the windows installation [00:12] Arsin: save the command in a *.sh* file with #!/bin/bash in top line [00:12] Billiard, ok but what do i need to backup as a miniumal, do i need both partitions backup caue the bootloader is on the win7 part? and do i need to back up the 2gb partd for the swap file too? [00:13] if you are really worried about messign up the files on the partition you can just mount it as read only. It shouldn't matter if it is in raid or not [00:13] rusg, mounting a file system doesn't mess up anything, it just makes the files available so you CAN mess up things :) [00:13] ZaNeIuM: dont need to backup swap, you are using the win7 bootloader? [00:13] wil the live cd back up my linux to an iso that i can be put on the win7 ntfs partiton?, Billiard [00:13] win7 was installed 1st [00:14] then i had unformatted free space that ubuntu seen and installed to [00:14] ZaNeIuM: you can just backup right to the ntfs [00:14] ok cool [00:14] Samuli^, the deal with the live CD...does that mean that I can burn one from the installation on this laptop if necessary for disaster recovery, and not lose my customizations made so far? [00:14] hi. if I select 5.1 output in pulseaudio the sound is crappy. but if i select stereo it is clear. any idea why? [00:14] so where is the brub bootloader being held now? [00:14] ZaNeIuM: probably on your linux partition [00:14] !grub2 | ZaNeIuM [00:14] ZaNeIuM: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [00:15] calamari_ billiard usr/share/wallpapers maybe? [00:15] samuli, so go ahead and install the 9.10 (second choice on menu)? [00:15] ZaNeIuM: if you only made one partition [00:15] greezmunkey, I've never tried to do that so I don't know [00:15] Billiard huh, one partiton? [00:15] rusg, if you're only wanting to do a virus scan etc. you don't have to install ubuntu [00:15] ncfi1013: why not take a look yourself? [00:15] Samuli^, there is my project for the evening! [00:15] can someone help me out with something? [00:15] i am [00:16] ZaNeIuM: it should be in /boot i would think, so on your main linux partition if you only made a partition for / [00:16] anyone good and familiar with AWS? sorry this is so OT..

I'd need remote desktop (better if supports reverse, but not needed) + file transfer, any ideas? [00:18] ncfi1013: the wallpapers do not auto add themselves to the wallpaper selection. you manually add them. you can have any directory for that matter to store files for wallpapers [00:19] i'll just ask, everytime i log on i have to set my /etc/resolv.conf file back to open dns over and over again and its annoying [00:19] so i want to know how to set it to where it doesnt reset it's self when i restart my computer [00:19] ncfi1013: are your wallpapers on another partition maybe, that isnt automatically mounted on boot? [00:19] dylan_: Why don't you set your dns server in System > Preferences > Network Connections? [00:19] @rusg, I am assuming you just installed win7 as the first partition. It should look something like: sudo mkdir /mnt/win7 | sudo mount -o rw /dev/sda2 /mnt/win7 ..... replace sda2 with the partition that win7 is on if thats not right [00:19] Samuli^, I haven't a clue, but am looking into it... [00:20] i don't have that option [00:20] dylan_: I've told you how to do that at least 2 times now :/ [00:20] lol [00:20] I run a dual boot system.

[00:21] billiard yeah two separate harddrives [00:22] one for storage and one for kde [00:22] dylan_: You don't have a "Network COnnections" in System > Preferences?

Here's the answer to your current question "yes" [00:24] erusul: Not sure what you mean [00:25] Arsin: is this a windows app? [00:25] fiberfolly: go to the menu file check that option [00:25] fiberfolly: sorry then, no idea [00:25] MyWay: CrossLoops? Ya, check if wine supports it [00:25] oh well its not that important i just wanted to know to have the knowledge. thank you anyway to all who helped me in my quest to learn linux better. [00:25] fiberfolly: is "Work offline" sorryy [00:25] Is Opera Browser available for 9.10? [00:26] can someone take a peak and tell me where they get the 3840MB from the lspci output they show? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7061893&postcount=22 [00:26] VCoolio: Wrong person?

[00:26] fiberfolly: regarding what erUSUL says - is your desktop set to English or another language? [00:26] Question - I installed the mac4lin theme to try it out. Then I switched back to my regular moomex theme. Well, now my maximize/minimize/exit icons on each window are in the upper left rather than upper right. How do I switch it? [00:26] Schiz0: I believe so, go to Applications > Ubuntu Software Center and check [00:26] goddard: you write the question one time on a single line then copy paste [00:26] Hello room :) [00:26] Arsin: is that "unable to mount" error from the terminal or from gparted? [00:26] fcuk112: Yes, I read that documentation article and it simply says "install from the repositories". and I can't find a "opera" package anywhere. [00:26] Rapha: english [00:27] calamari_: GParted [00:27] Schiz0: google opera and download the deb from their website? [00:27] goddard: you're more likely to get useful help that way intead of "yes, I know about sshfs. No, I don't know about your problem" [00:27] jrib I need to know why I don't have the right permissions on my mounted drive. [00:27] When I change nVidia resolution and try to save to X Configuration file, I get error "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'! [00:27] Schiz0: Disregard that, go to the link that guy sent you [00:27] how do i get to windows [00:27] Arsin: not sure then. maybe try using gparted off a live cd environment might help. [00:27] goddard: I don't know [00:27] fiberfolly: then what erUSUL says will probably help you - click on "File" in the Evolution menu (upper left) and then click "Work offline" [00:27] anyone up to help me with an installation question? I think ubuntu studio installer reads an old mbr entry [00:28] jrib ... [00:28] i know the solution... install windows 7 [00:28] lol [00:28] jezlee, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/316461/ [00:28] calamari_: Which ever becomes the primary partiton, it formats correctly for some reason, the 2nd isn't working, and I forgot that error was from UNetbootin [00:28] goddard: presumably it's because your uid's differ on the server and client [00:28] @goddard if its mounted at /mnt/win7 you need to sudo -i to mess around in it [00:29] Schiz0: you probably can just enable the partner repo in synaptic [00:29] jrib they do [00:29] sudo i and work in the terminal to dificult, just install windows 7! [00:29] Arsin: are you trying to mount the second partition without formatting it? and have you specified a seperate mountpoint for it? [00:29] jrib but i specifiy them user@ip === openweek0 is now known as Xiella [00:30] calamari_: I don't know how to make a seperate mountpoint, and I'm trying to format it but it wont work [00:30] thanks very much for the help [00:30] duh never thought of it being off line [00:30] goddard: what does "id" return when you run it on the client machine?

I heard there was a problem with some of the older distro's because the driver only worked when the tablet was connect to a serial interface. I have the Asus R1E [00:31] Arsin: well if its already partitioned, and you intend to use the second partition for regular file storage. then just set up ubuntu on the first partition, and maybe let windows try format second one :P [00:31] chamone [00:31] darkness: "problems after that u send email to ms and it works!!!" so you just send an email to microsoft and your viruses magically go away?

[00:49] i just heard resolution and xorg [00:49] dcosta1: it should still work in karmic [00:49] greezmunkey, also try aptoncd [00:49] Hi, which is a nice alternative to Teamviewer? I'd need remote desktop (better if supports reverse, but not needed) + file transfer, any ideas? [00:50] so no way to solve this with intel [00:50] I tried to run GTA Vice City in Wine, but ingame the camera would constantly pull to the left and tommy run to the left, like I had a controller in that was stuck or something (I don't). When I quit the game, my desktop was constantly panning to the right, over and over, and when I moved my mouse all the area below the cursor was blacked out, and if I moved it left and right it would slow down or speed up the panning. [00:50] may be it is crappy but very old and have to live with it right now [00:50] Samuli^, thanks I will (I got sidetracked!) [00:50] MyWay: tightvnc? [00:50] Going to the alt crtl f1 console stopped the panning, but when I returned to the desktop it was still going. Restarting fixed it. Anyone got an idea what was going on? [00:50] Billiard: no file transfer [00:50] ok Billiard o will try one mere time [00:50] suniyo [00:50] what was your problem? [00:50] suniyo: if you can find a sample xorg.conf you can use it and setup stuff [00:51] MyWay, cant you torrent files across your network? [00:51] is it works with 9.10?? [00:51] knoppies: how? [00:51] I have heard from the grapewine that it does't with 0.10 [00:51] *9.10 [00:51] suniyo: if the file exists, it will be read [00:51] xorg.conf [00:51] let me check [00:52] rebooting server [00:52] it should be in /etc/X11 [00:52] MyWay, ive never tried it, but for some reason I have the idea that you can create .torrent files on your one PC, and then use torrent software to move them across. [00:52] MyWay, not sure if you can. [00:52] hm [00:52] isn't there a software which give you remote control + file sharing/transfer? [00:53] it would be easier [00:53] tightVNC? [00:53] no file sharing/transfer in tightvnc that i know [00:53] hmmm, I allways thought there was [00:53] MyWay: Empathy does chat + file sharing + remote desktop [00:54] fancy, never knew empathy did that [00:55] startx [00:55] MyWay: setup a sftp server on the remote machine [00:56] nejode: i can but not too immediate i think [00:56] hi everyone [00:56] hi alesan [00:56] what it the command [00:56] ? [00:57] maybe in tightvnc there is file trasnfer [00:57] what it the command [00:57] how can i login [00:57] MyWay: you only need to install ssh-server [00:58] nejode: forward router port also [00:58] MyWay: port 22 only === cprevoe is now known as Nith [00:59] Is there anyway to get gnome terminal to remember my settings? for example.. I want it to start max size, with no menu bar.. It did it in 8.04 but it's not in 9.10 [00:59] Motec: Edit the shortcut to read gnome-terminal --maximize --no-menubar [01:00] MoTec: Thanks! [01:00] Good evening folks! What do I need to install/configure to get my webcam working under 9.10 (Toshiba-satellite). Thanks [01:00] MoTec: devilspie probably takes care of that also (in a non-app-specific way) [01:00] It's actually --hide-menubar [01:00] hello [01:00] what does this command mena? [01:01] sudo dpkg -i *.deb [01:01] is it the same as clicking on the .deb and installing it? [01:01] Rev_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:01] install all packages in the same directory [01:01] Rev_: basically, yes. [01:01] tonyyarusso, basically? is it exactly the same? [01:01] Rev_: it will do all the deb files in that directory at once though, not just one === fiberfolly_ is now known as fiberfolly [01:01] oh ok [01:01] i see [01:01] Rev_: If multiple packages need to be installed at the same time clicking on them individually will not work [01:01] tonyyarusso: aah, i see. thanks [01:01] thanks for your explanation [01:01] np [01:01] Rev_: It says "as root, manually install from package files all packages we have a file in the current directory for" [01:02] MyWay: why not use dropbox for file synching? [01:02] Rev_: For instance if you are trying to install Open Office from their website [01:02] Clicking on a .deb just opens up the archive file doesn't it? It doesn't actually install it I believe. [01:02] tonyyarusso, ok thanks [01:02] Jordan_U, thats exactly what im trying to do! [01:03] because i don't need file sync, i just need to remote control sometimes and transfer, if possible without need of port forward because people don't know how to :P [01:03] Rev_: Then you need to use that command rather than clicking. What's wrong with the version in the repositories though? [01:03] hi [01:03] hi [01:04] hi [01:04] Jordan_U, nothing's wrong. But as sad as it sounds though, instead of updating to karmic, I downgraded to intrepid in order to be able to use fglrx again... [01:04] so I want to update the OOo 2.4 to 3.1 [01:04] Can anybody help me to configure the remote desktop so that I can connect to my ubuntu from work?? [01:04] Greetings All [01:04] Hello! I am trying to use snort, but it only works if I run with sudo. If I don't, it says OpenPcap() device wlan0 open: socket: Operation not permitted. There is a user 'snort', how can I grant him the privileges to access the socket wlan0? Thanks! [01:05] i'll use xtightvnc + sftp anyway [01:05] Rev_: Have you tried the karmic LiveCD to see if the open source drivers have improved enough for you to use them instead of fglrx? [01:05] but i hope to see vnc supporting file trasnfer also :( [01:05] you can't use non free drivers in karmic? [01:06] Rev_: You can even get KMS and DRI2 with the open source drivers in karmic [01:06] WhiteDawn: older cards don't have a binary driver for the new version of Xorg [01:06] Rocknroll00: have you tried chmod +s on snort? [01:06] rocknroll00: there is a group that allows people to access the wireless cards, have you added snort to that group? [01:06] sectech: nope... let me see this :) [01:06] Jordan_U, I need the ATI drivers to play quake3. the open source drivers werent enough. [01:06] Nith: haaaa that's probably the issue [01:07] what it the command [01:07] how can i login [01:07] Nith: do you know the group name?

You will need to enable the multiverse repositories, though, I believe. [01:15] SunlessHalo: look in your tmp: folder every youtube video goes there copy it elsewhere and name something useful [01:15] Or was it universe? [01:15] icedwater, on my install it was already enabled [01:15] cause i was like yea but it kept sayin that an error occured becaue the location wasnt found [01:15] Samuli^: (k)ubuntu-restricted-extras *include FGLRX VGA driver*... also carefully with this advise... [01:15] anyone know how to restart nautilus properly? :D (jaunty) [01:15] advice [01:15] Nice :) I'm doing that also for these ISOs I'm making.

[01:16] Billiard: I want it to redraw the desktop, because I remade the desktop folder [01:16] DaZ: out of curiosity, what could it have been besides someone breaking in? [01:16] SunlessHalo, huh... since when has it included that?

To see nearby wireless network and their channels, strenghts, etc.. On windows I'd use inSSIDer [01:17] how do you check what packages a meta-package will pull without installing it? [01:17] or... dunno ;f [01:17] MoTec: kismet ? [01:17] has anyone played it [01:17] Samuli^: afaik pretty long, it gives you an option wether to keep former driver or to install fglrx === erwin is now known as Guest19829 [01:18] What would I do to replace newlines in the emacs shipped in jaunty?

[01:20] Hi. Now I'm trying to get wireless working after a fresh install of Karmic. The kernel module of my card according to lscpi is iwl3945, and lsmod shows it's loaded, but NetworkManager doesn't let me enable wireless. Do I need to add my user to any group or something? Thanks. [01:20] DaZ: i had to go and i wanted to limit any damage someone could do if it were broken into [01:20] blackest_knight: you probably could bind a directory to cache as well if you wanted it to go to disk1/cache or something [01:20] If i partition my hard drive using GParted (via live CD so it does not wipe my Windows partition) How do i choose what partition it will boot up? [01:20] cached: use hosts.allow and hosts.deny [01:20] #cfengine [01:21] The "report a problem" module on my Karmic ubuntu is not working.

[01:21] hi [01:21] ok that should do it i'm a bit squeezed for space to get an upgrade from jaunty to karmic ( be honest i should just back up home and do it the easy way [01:21] gasull: alrighty, but then how do i chooose what partition is booted? [01:22] ah [01:22] dunno :c [01:22] is there a cli line for the mirrors selection tool one sees while expert installing 9.10 ? [01:22] *cli utility [01:22] IdleOne, Thanks.

[01:23] Rubix: so you want to use grub? [01:23] grub? [01:23] mdturner: use baobab to check where the space is taken [01:23] whats the equivalent in Unix of the cd.. command ? (getting one level upper in folder tree) [01:24] My netbook disk drive is suddenly full and I don't know why. I only use evolution and firefox. I haven't put any videos, photos, or extra programs on it. Any ideas? [01:24] Rev_: the difference is cd .. [01:24] Rubix: you want to get a menu to choose which os to install? [01:24] The command is cd, and .. is where you want to go. [01:24] yes Bilge [01:24] Billiard: * [01:24] Rubix: If I'm not wrong, only one partition can be "bootable" [01:24] gasull: but i can then access windows some how. [01:24] mdturner: there is a disk usage analyzer [01:24] mdturner: sudo apt-get clean and if thats enough try uninstalling some kernels [01:24] icedwater, fantastic! thanks [01:24] is there a cli utility for the mirrors selection tool one sees while expert installing 9.10 ? (to select a mirror automagically?) [01:24] The new disk utilities are pretty handy, I find, ChogyDan1 :) [01:25] Rubix: when you install ubuntu it will install a boot loader with a menu that you can choose windows [01:25] Billiard: i just have to keep my windows partition? [01:25] Yup [01:25] Rubix: yeah, then windows should be detected and added to the list [01:25] i liked the old add/remove programs. It actually found everything. I've had to find a bunch of stuff in the synaptec package manager [01:25] Rubix: but if you remove linux windows will not boot without restoring windows old boot loader [01:26] Billiard: so i have to partition my HDD, install linux to one partion, keep the windows, and i can then boot windows via linux somehow [01:26] You nigger [01:26] get a life [01:26] Rubix: yes there should be an option on startup, you may have to hit escape to get a menu and choose windows [01:27] blackest_knight: is it supposed to do something after sudo apt-get clean? [01:27] Rubix: I think you need to config GRUB for that. === yoasif____ is now known as yoasif_ [01:27] gasull, grub2 that comes with 9.10 will find all windoses no problem [01:27] Rubix install to the 2nd partition grub will take care of windows the only thing you may want to do is change the default os === yofel_ is now known as yofel [01:28] Rubix: ^ read what Samuli^ said [01:28] I hear one shouldn't upgrade to a new version of ubuntu until a month after its release. Is this true, and should I wait to install on a new disk for a few weeks? [01:28] DaZ: how would i view the logs of my latest commands run [01:28] bob921, test on a live CD. === yoasif_ is now known as yoasif [01:28] <-- gentoo user here, not used to bulk upgrades [01:29] cached: i don't know what do you mean :f [01:29] ~/.bash_history?

I haven [01:29] bob921, it's probably true the bugs will get ironed out some time after the release. I didn't have any problems installing one day after the release though. [01:29] Can anybody tell me how to enable wireless, please? http://dpaste.com/119401/ [01:30] blackest_knight: ubuntu came on my netbook OOTB. I haven't added anything extra. I don [01:30] bob921: I haven't used Ubuntu for pretty much a year now except over SSH. Fresh installs are all right, I guess, but I always used to have no problems upgrading. [01:30] gasull: network manager icon doesnt let you use it? or you are using cli ? [01:30] Is it the same to burn to a CD an ISO image and install Ubuntu in a memory stick? Is there any difference? [01:30] DaZ: any way i can get the ip it was logged in from? [01:30] It really is quite relaxing to type apt-get dist-upgrade and sit back :P [01:30] cached: Talk to your router somehow? [01:31] icedwater, thanks. I'm actually installing on a new disk, old hd will be backup drive, so this will be a fresh install. just don't know if I should install 9.04 or 9.10 [01:31] cached: you want the ssh connection log? [01:31] See if you can pick up the old packets or something.. [01:31] cached: ips are in there ;f [01:31] Billiard: yeah, sure [01:31] icedwater, do you have to edit the repositories first, or is that history? [01:31] DaZ: not for me? [01:31] hi.. where i will go host websites that use go? [01:31] hi [01:31] hum [01:31] logs should be there [01:31] Billiard: networkManager icon [01:31] sorry :x [01:32] bob921: Well, if it's a spare disk I had, I would install 9.10 to try it out. But it looks like you're going to use it as your main OS, am I right? [01:33] mdturner: if you have been keeping your system updated then you may have lots of cached deb files alternatively pulse audio might crash frequently and you might have lots of log files (ok it might not be pulse thats made huge log files but its a possibility [01:33] i'm running karmic, which has gnupg at version 1.4.9. is there any way to determine when 1.4.10 will be released to ubuntu? it's been out for a couple of months. [01:33] If you have to have stability, I would say 8.04 would be your best bet, since it's LTS... but between 9.04 and 9.10 on a fresh disk, I will most likely select the newer. [01:33] how do you start nautilus without it being child-ed to a terminal? Can I tell init to start nautilus on my behalf? [01:33] gasull: do you have an icon on your panel to use your wireless? [01:33] Sorry, not making much sense at 3am bob921 :P [01:33] Samuli^: how do you mean? [01:33] Is it the same to burn to a CD an ISO image and install Ubuntu in a memory stick? Is there any difference? [01:33] icedwater, you are right, this laptop is my main computer, I need it to work. I could install gentoo again, I've run that distro for years, but I wanna try something different [01:33] Samuli^: I had to edit the repos manually, but that's because I'm used to doing it that way. [01:34] icedwater, kk. That's what I was asking [01:34] well, heck.. in installed, then uninstalled wicd and now i have no wireless utility at all... it broke whatever the built-in is. [01:34] Billiard: yes. It's the new icon, not the one I'm used too in older versions, though [01:34] compiz-check gives me the result "Error: Software Rasterizer in use" [01:35] gasull: well can you turn on wireless using the icon, righ clicking maybe [01:35] hey [01:35] Billiard: if I right-click it says [] Enable Wireless <--- But I can't check that box [01:35] Is it the same to burn to a CD an ISO image and install Ubuntu in a USB memory stick? Is there any difference? What is the best way? [01:35] I would prefer the newer version, but I haven't had the chance to try it out properly - I'm more used to the older interface. Only just managed to get it booting off a USB stick a couple of days ago after some older live images wouldn't even boot. [01:35] gasull: does it work on the live cd? [01:35] gpscura: was just about to get to you. It's easier to burn an ISO to CD and have it boot. [01:35] Billiard: "[ ] Enable Wireless" is grayed out [01:36] But if you don't want to waste a CD, I would recommend working with UNetBootin on Windows, for instance, to set up a bootable USB.

What do I do? I've heard Civ 4 worked well with Jaunty and older versions of ubuntu. Note: My computer used to be A Windows machine, its dell. I changed it a few weeks ago. I do not have a great graphics device, but it worked fine on Windows. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Some posts indicate this is a problem with my Intel 82845G graphics, and the driver version for it. It never freezes while I'm using it, just after I've left it for a while, like overnight. I noticed a link that said to add "ppa:ubunutu-x-swat/x-updates" to my software sources. I did an update after that, but I don't think I got [02:19] Mike_lifeguard: Its just that the upgrade wants to install apache, and I'm thinking that the only reason would be if I can't have lighttpd anymore. It also wants to drop selinux and install apparmor. Is that normal? [02:19] anything like a driver update.

[02:37] vnc will work with that [02:37] sekyourbox, vnc > ssh [02:37] but it has a bit of lag, even over lan [02:38] because of ssh? [02:38] not sure [02:38] thats alright, as long as i can change the show [02:38] My flash wont function properly on firefox, I can't click the button to start video on Megavideo [02:38] I think vnc's lag is from the server, the server only grabs the screen every so many hundred milliseconds [02:38] i tried it with my media center, you basicly have to move the mouse while looking at tv [02:38] lol [02:38] if you can see your server machine, then you can see what I mean.

What would the command be to make it go into full screen [02:41] Hi. I was using Debian Lenny previously and saved the list of programs installed with dpkg --get-selections. Should I reinstall them now in Ubuntu Karmic with dpkg --set-selections, or is it looking for trouble? Thanks. [02:41] sekyourbox, sorry about that had to reboot [02:42] gasull: Probably asking for trouble [02:42] What changed in the new release? I mean the previous one worked better in a lot of ways. Web surfing was faster, VLC or Totem didn't crash when watching a DVD. SO what happend? [02:42] Is there a way to 'reset' a terminal window back to the default usr@compname:~$ [02:42] Jordan_U: I guess this was wishful thinking :) [02:42] toubab: cd ~ [02:42] hi guys, i want to try out the ff3.6 beta, but i dont want to change the current addons i have (which will inevitably happen as the version is different) , not do i want to have it check for my addons everytime, i tried different profiles, but when i change the firefox versions (i.e. from 3.5 to 3.6), i get the previous profile, is there a way i can make the 3.6 always use profileA and 3.5 always use profileB ?? [02:42] ty samuli [02:42] toubab, I know you can type in 'clear' but not sure if that resets it. [02:42] Jordan_U: thanks [02:43] rampage73, oh no.. You tried hard to not reboot, didnt yo? [02:43] gasull: np [02:43] sekyourbox, if you are still looking for a way to route traffic between wifi and ethernet then go here and look at my script that i use http://pastebin.com/da9c3c [02:43] can someone help me get rid of older versions of ubuntu to install 9.10 [02:43] I'm using the terminal screenlet and after launching xchat it gave me an error [02:43] BDOTH: updated packages, audio fixes, new kernel, etc etc [02:43] sekyourbox, yes i tried hard not to but when you cannot do anything that is what the reset button is for [02:44] Well the updates are broken. Older version works better. [02:44] and now the cursor is blank instead of being after usr@desktop:~$, can't figure out how to get it back to where i can type commands [02:44] thanks folks, i got my answer. [02:44] Jumper: What do you mean "get rid of"? You can install one version replacing the other, or upgrade [02:44] BDOTH: basically lots of fixes, although there are always opportunities for regressions [02:44] it not working m8 [02:44] getting UUID error [02:44] can anyone tell me where i can get the karmic-backports key? [02:44] because it tells me packages can't be authenticated [02:44] BDOTH: yeah, you may want to file bug reports if that is the case, heh [02:45] rampage73, nice, I dont need to let ICMP traffic through, so no problems there [02:45] toubab: You can't get back to the terminal without stopping the command you last ran [02:45] freaky[t]: Try just running sudo apt-get update again [02:45] toubab: try hitting ctrl+c on your keyboard [02:45] I would file bug reports but the bug report window opens, and then closes it's self with in seconds. Same problem with DVD playback in VLC or Totem [02:45] Jordan_U, ok thanks [02:45] rampage73, I'll try this out and see whats going on.. Thanks, ill let you know [02:45] sekyourbox, yea you can just remove that line or comment it out [02:45] freaky[t]: np === garytang is now known as carlee [02:46] sekyourbox, np [02:46] So when I shut down xchat it should reset the terminal i guess [02:46] toubab: Yes [02:46] xchat is crap [02:46] toubab: If you want to start a program in the background you would do something like "xchat &" [02:46] These problems are on my dads computer. He's the one who uses Ubuntu, personally I use straight up Debian. [02:47] BDOTH: surprising, ubuntu /is/ debian sid basically heh [02:47] anyone having issues running tangerine on 9.10? [02:48] Thanks for the help, going to keep messing with it [02:48] anyone ever install ubuntu alternate without cdrom? [02:48] Debian, Devil exists between intelligence and nonsense [02:48] haha nice sekyourbox [02:48] * knoppies likes seyourbox's comment. [02:48] Yoasif: I'd use Ubuntu, but I already have my Debian fine tuned just the way I want it. By the time I finish tweaking Ubuntu, it's only going to have 30% of it's former glory left to it. [02:49] sekyourbox, LOL [02:49] How can I set the mplayer codecs to be the system's default? [02:50] In other news, I shocked myself today while testing a power supply. More at eleven. [02:50] BDOTH: consider using a powersupply tester instead of your tongue.. That works for a 9v battery but not much else... [02:50] BDOTH, good to know you were still able to join us. [02:50] I had a power supply arch and burn my arm [02:51] a few times [02:51] sekyourbox, you still got the marks to prove it? [02:51] HP SFF desktops hat that issue [02:51] After a recent update, I can't get nfs-kernel-server to start. Any suggestions? [02:51] no, it didnt burn that bad [02:51] sekyourbox, another reason to stay away from HP. [02:51] Mine did arch on me. It practically jumped up and grabbed me. [02:51] I worked for a company that took in hundreds of computers. we refurbshed,recycled, and data wiped... fun fun [02:51] Darn colder year, makes static to be feared.

[02:52] BDOTH: its already -1 degrees C in canada! [02:52] whitedawn, how many pF's? [02:52] Well I got zapped by a 1050watt power supply. Still stings from the burning sensation. [02:53] carlee: its 5degrees C in my canada [02:53] BDOTH, careful, people die from that [02:53] sekyourbox: don't remember, was a few years back [02:53] I thought I grounded my self well enough, I put my wire band on and connected to the case. [02:54] BDOTH, I think you should consider putting your 1kW surge to better use. [02:54] WhiteDawn: hmm i think my cellphone temperature app needs some tuneing... [02:54] Good thing I didn't have that wire band wrapped around my third arm. [02:55] BDOTH, did you discharge the psp after unplugging the AC but before unplugging the periferals? [02:55] I never ground myself, I gound the machine by plugging it in [02:55] I do have it on a surge, I have such dirty power in my area I have to run it through two monster power strips. Each cost 90 bucks [02:55] yes I did all that [02:56] help me install ubuntu alternate without cdrom [02:56] riddle me this: printf 'loooong string \\\rshorter string\n' Why does my short string have a \ after it!?! [02:56] if I dump that to a file and nano it I can see it doesn't [02:56] but if I cat that file I get the same result [02:56] agusj_: you can try using unetbootin [02:57] boggling [02:57] tsunami: \n is the newline [02:57] agusj_: unetbootin works very nice, [02:57] arand: right, but why does a \ get printed [02:57] I wish I had access to my main computer. I knew this script where if you type in in terminal you can listen to the kernel. It's just static, kinda like what you hear on dialup modem. [02:57] example: printf 'loooong string \\\rshorter string\n' > tmp.txt [02:57] cat tmp.txt [02:58] nano tmp.txt [02:58] can anyone help me? how do I see the states table of iptables working on stateful mode ?

[02:59] carlee: how do i find that broken symlink? [02:59] eatloaf: which means that the symlink is pointing to a non-existing file [03:00] knoppies: i just switched to linux and firefox does not have java installed [03:00] eatloaf: try to open it in a file manager and youll find out [03:00] it "cat's" just fine. [03:00] i tried to install java, but cant :( [03:00] carlee: I can 'cat' the file fine. [03:01] new_to_linux, lm gonna see where to get java from, give me a sec [03:01] new_to_linux, for the install button you have to find the package first then double clik it [03:01] Here is something totally awesome, my buddy Ray just finished porting direct X 10 to fedora. Now only if I had my video card, it'd so play some Crisis with him now. [03:01] carlee: oh! i think i've found it. the dest might be broken.

Can someone help me with that please? [03:03] new_to_linux, ah well that is there to keep you from installing something that will most likely break your machine [03:04] new_to_linux, are you running 64bit or something? [03:04] rampage73: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/464959 [03:04] rampage73: I think iptables -L shows me the chain rules === seahorse is now known as Guest25771 [03:04] rampage73, I dont understand what this thing is doing.. You delete the chain, and user defined chain, and then delete them from the nat table? [03:04] or a better way of installing new themes would be greatly appreciated [03:04] rampage73: yes my hardware is 64 bit but i installed the normal ubuntu 9.10 [03:05] then you add your own broadcast to the next nic [03:05] anyone know how to temporarly disable compiz? i tried metacity --replace & but that just causes problems. And disabling it under apperance loses my settings in compiz [03:05] hi all. is there a key-combo for forcing a program to quit? [03:05] PP188, sorry thought you might have be3en looking for more than i knew it is a start though it should be at least part of what you are looking for [03:05] like CTRL+ALT+ESC forkde? [03:05] How are ops marked in here? [03:05] rampage73: no problem, anyway thank you for your answer! [03:05] I have yet to try to get compiz to work other than from the gui [03:05] new_to_linux, that might be why then but i am not the expert on it by any means [03:06] can anyone help me with installing new themes please? or do we have any app which will help us ?

[03:06] man ubuntu [03:07] No manual entry for ubuntu [03:07] sekyourbox, ok i wil ltry and confuse u as i once was (who am i kidding i still am) [03:07] hi all. is there any key-combo for forcing a program to quit? like CTRL+ALT+ESC for kde? [03:07] i download jre-6u17-linux-i586-rpm.bin from java site but cant find a way to install it as well [03:08] can anyone please help [03:08] sekyourbox, the first line enables the linux machine to route packets (the one that starts with echo) the 4 lines that flush the tables are for when you re-run the script it will clear them out and then reapply them [03:08] WhiteDawn: what is synaptic? [03:08] sekyourbox, of course the ping line you do not need [03:09] Chaitu: Open System > Preferences > Appearance, choose install, and select the theme file [03:09] new_to_linux, why would you download that and more- why would you try to install a package that isnt for the deb fs? [03:09] hi all [03:09] hello [03:09] the tree finger salute does not work with me , it"s really weird and a little annoying ! how can i solve that ? [03:10] thanks in advance for helping [03:10] Uhm, ctrlaltdel doesn't work the same in ubuntu? [03:10] Jordan_U, : once I install, it doesnt show the installed theme in drop down menu [03:10] sekyourbox, and masquerading line masks everything behind the linux router (the ethernet for instance) on that subnet out the eth2 in my example in your case it would be your wifi adapter [03:10] Uruz: It's disabled by default ( in all distributions ) [03:10] if I flush iptables, wont that take out any security rules for incomming packets? [03:11] guys, can anybody tell me whats up with the gnome panel? on adding a new user i only get one panel instead of two, so where do apps/windows go when you minimize? [03:11] Uruz, you were talking to me ? [03:11] I need help, Ubuntu is freezing randomly on me, only hard reboot works [03:11] rampage73,if I flush iptables, wont that take out any security rules for incomming packets? [03:11] sekyourbox, yes it will as well as stop allowing traffic to pass through [03:12] sekyourbox, basically it will be really secure at that point as nothing should pass through it [03:12] hi guys [03:12] @sanubuntu: right click on the existing panel and select add new panel [03:12] rampage73: just as secure as unpluging the ethernet cable [03:13] sekyourbox, kind of like having a cisco acl that just has 1 line access-list 1 deny any any [03:13] sekyourbox, yep [03:13] does anyone here have experience with WoW in ubuntu? I have a very fast system & fast nvidia card, yet I only get 20fps in ultra mode. I'm using the nvidia driver and opengl already [03:13] sekyourbox, well unpluggin is probably more secure [03:13] armageddon09: i do that, but the new panel doesn't receive the minimized apps either [03:14] WhiteDawn, well unpluggin is probably more secure [03:14] openback: ultra mode? do you have shadows maxed too? [03:14] @sanubuntu: then right click on the new panel and select add to panel and select window button(or something like that) [03:14] Hey all... why does my SD card suddenly not identify teh filesystem when I use 'mount'?? Also, when I run Skype, my digital spdif output signal dies. Why so? [03:14] isn't there any key combo to be able to kill an application? [03:14] openback: Try the latest version of whine from http://www.winehq.org/ and / or try asking in #winehq [03:14] like CTRL+ALT+ESC for KDE (Kubuntu)? [03:15] microlith: It won't let me even move that slider from Low, but everything else is maxed and only 20fps. I have an Nvidia gtx 295! [03:15] freaky[t], in a term sudo killall (name of app) [03:15] could anyone point me towards a faq for installing xbmc on ubuntu 9.1? [03:15] greezmunkey, yea but i mean an easier way [03:15] armageddon09: hmmmm, not sure i understand, but i'll keep messing with it untill i completely screw it up prolly .. :P [03:15] like ctrl+alt+esc [03:15] Jordan_U: yeah, I just realized that they would have their own channel, haha [03:16] sanubuntu: did you right click on the new panel and select add new applet? [03:16] freaky[t], I have a forced quit button that resides on the bar at the top of the screen, click that once, then click the app and it's gone. [03:17] Hello All. Does anyone use Emrald and recommend it? [03:17] greezmunkey, yes, i know about that one, but i would prefer a key combo [03:17] chaitu: no i dont, its slow and buggy [03:17] rampage73, yea unplugging would be your best bet. could be a fake from china, that has a built in rootkit. [03:17] armageddon09: i don't see 'add new applet' when i right click on panel [03:17] freaky[t], I don't know why that couldn't be bound to a ket sequence via a script... [03:18] I need help, my ubuntu just froze again, I had to reboot, can anybody tell me why it's freezing randomly? [03:18] WhiteDawn, : Thanks. Am trying to have nice themes and stuff installed. Just trying to make my desktop more colorful as I installed Linux for the first time... any recommendations? [03:18] greezmunkey, ok nm, i've added that force quit button now too ;D [03:18] heh that'll do it [03:18] sanubuntu: sry it might be add to panel......actually i'm using kde rt now ...so.. [03:19] Is there a way to get into the options window of firefox without opening a browser window? === tyler is now known as T1119 [03:19] Chaitu: Try www.gnome-look.org [03:19] Chaitu: The default gnome skin manager is nice and stable and then you can combine that with compiz effects and you can get a swankey desktop. [03:20] Hi all...was hoping someone might be able to help me get my Logitech USB microphone working...Im on Ubuntu 9.10 and it seems all the stuff i could find was on SUSE...anyone able to help? [03:20] I need help, ubuntu is freezing randomly even when I have nothing up [03:20] I've installed Kubuntu... [03:21] chaitu: http://www.kde-look.org/ [03:21] anyone else seeing issues with tangerine running on 9.10 or can verify that they're not seeing issues? thanks. [03:21] lol cool thanks WhiteDawn : ) [03:21] chaitu: no problem, enjoy stable desktop :P [03:22] Hi all...was hoping someone might be able to help me get my Logitech USB microphone working...Im on Ubuntu 9.10 and it seems all the stuff i could find was on SUSE...anyone able to help? The deal is, when i plug it in...the sound mixer shows its plugged in...but i dont get sound out or in [03:22] and one more question please, whats compiz ? it it a application that needs to be installed? [03:22] Chaitu: it comes default in ubuntu, not sure about kubuntu, in any case it should be in hte repository [03:22] yeah it comes with both [03:22] hi [03:23] Chaitu you can configure it from System->Appearance->Desktop effects [03:23] Oops thats on Gnome not sure about KDE [03:24] McSetty: well, for KDE there's #kubuntu :P [03:24] can anyone help me with my ubuntu freezing randomly? My video card is intel, I'm not sure what's wrong because it freezes even when I have nothing up [03:24] You can drop to the terminal and type compiz --replace in either though [03:24] anyone? [03:24] thanks a lot everyone, nice helpful community [03:24] Hello... this OS is annoying. The windows are jumping and when I click with the mouse on buttons or menus--they won't open. It's also auto randomly selecting crap. Help???!!! [03:24] umnn sorry... am new to linux so kinda lame questions... McSetty : are you saying typing compiz -- replace in terminal will show me that programme? [03:25] The_Journey: try diagnosing your hardware; you could start w/ running memtest86 from any Linux live CD [03:25] armageddon09: ok, i think i found what you're talking about, looks like the right thing .. i'll have to log out to the other user and try it [03:25] thanks [03:25] Chaitu: it will start the compiz window manager [03:25] My hardware is fine since I built the computer and run other operating systems on it. :/ [03:25] Chaitu: compiz is already installed. If you go to Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects, anything other than None will be running compiz as your window manager [03:25] ok I will do that now and see whats it about [03:25] szal, ok I will try that [03:25] is there a way to launch a program from the launcher as root? [03:26] Chaitu: observe the exact typing [03:26] Chaitu: if you want to change its settings install compiz config [03:26] eatloaf: what for? [03:26] T1119: from what I can tell there is no driver for this device [03:26] szal: i want to launch Diffuse as root so i can merge my fstab. [03:26] I don't see visual effects under system... [03:26] am still looking [03:27] i still haven't found how to active the three finger salute :-( [03:27] wth is Diffuse? [03:27] strangely i found a post where they state that it works with audacity might be worth a try [03:27] Chaitu [03:27] Chaitu: Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects. anything other than None will be running compiz as your window manager [03:27] Chaitu: type compiz --replace [03:27] Chaitu: go to package manager and install compizconfig-settings-manager [03:28] szal: diff/merge tool. but it happens often that i want to launch an app as root and don't always know how from the cmd line. [03:28] I don't know the entry in KDE but the command line should work for either kubuntu or ubuntu [03:28] Hi all...was hoping someone might be able to help me get my Logitech USB microphone working...Im on Ubuntu 9.10 and it seems all the stuff i could find was on SUSE...anyone able to help? The deal is, when i plug it in...the sound mixer shows its plugged in...but i dont get sound out or in [03:28] T1119: Apparently there is no driver according to the Logitech forums. I found another post that says it seems to work with audacity which seems confusing [03:28] give audacity a try though [03:29] k [03:29] eatloaf: try hitting Alt+F2, iirc it's the same shortcut in Gnome as in KDE for the application runner; there type sudo yourApp [option(s)] [03:29] thx [03:29] is anybody else having problems clicking on embedded flash objects with the default flash player under 64 bit 9.10? [03:29] rampage73, where did you type that? sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf ?? [03:29] oops [03:29] ok here's what I see under appearance : style , color , icons, themes, fonts, windows, gtk+ appreance, splash screen and emotions [03:29] thats all I get to see there... [03:30] hi all [03:30] mgmuscari1, I had that problem. I had to install a different version of flashplayer [03:30] szal: better than in a terminal but still a bit of a pain. thanks. i'll use this. [03:30] insm0d: any indication of what the deal is? [03:30] mgmuscari: Its a problem with compiz, disable compiz or hold rightclick and hten press left click on what you want to click on [03:30] same problem with epiphany, firefox 3.5, chromium [03:30] I'm lost and there's no one that can help. The windows work fine, other than when I click on them or hover over them, they begin to act wildly by randomly selecting windows, buttons, and etc... The menu bar works fine and other stuff. This is so annoying and yet so hard to know how to fix. It's hard to describe, but I know it's related to some settings some how. :( How do you use the Num pad again as a mouse? :/ [03:31] WhiteDawn: lol... so somebody broke something between 9.04 and 9.10 then i guess [03:31] WhiteDawn: is it a bad key binding or something? [03:31] ok when I did compiz --replace - it says its not installed... [03:32] mgmuscaril: Yeah idk what it really is, it does only seem to happen in 9.10, some people fixed it and some ppl havent, i cant seem to find a fix myself [03:32] Chaitu: xubuntu or kubuntu? [03:32] Kubuntu soreau [03:32] :'( [03:32] Installing it now. [03:32] iirc compiz now forces certain plugins to be enabled [03:32] such as window animations [03:32] maybe it's somehow related... [03:32] Chaitu: Then you do need to install it. sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-kde compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra emerald librsvg2-common [03:32] mgmuscari1, I think what I did was uninstalled the version that is installed by ubuntu and downloaded the tarball from adobe's site [03:33] Hello,I have a problem.Upgrade to ubuntu 9.10(2.6.31-15),VMware Server 2.0.2 is wrong.Each reboot,vmware is can't run,must reconfig.how to solve? [03:33] insm0d: that fixed it for you? [03:33] insm0d: I did that myself but it didnt seem to work :( [03:33] soreau, : I did sudo apt-get install compiz wrapper as it said [03:33] szal: I did the memtest and it returns nothing [03:33] has anyone tried to install phpbb3 with the sqlite backend on karmic? doesn't seem to work [03:33] "populating database with SQL...segmentation fault" [03:33] then I did compiz --replace [03:33] ChinaForge: you have to rebuild the kernel module [03:34] mgmuscari1, WhiteDawn, I can't remember what I did :( It's working for me though [03:34] how to set the font of the ttys .. when i do ctrl alt f1 for example for tty1 ? [03:34] insm0d: DO you have 64bit ? [03:34] The_Journey: how about CPU temperature? [03:34] =-Oscreams!!! [03:34] ChinaForge: I can't remember the exact syntax but there is a shell script that will download the headers and build the module for you [03:34] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/444757 [03:34] ? [03:35] The_Journey: other possible source of freezing -> dying PSU [03:35] szal: I don't think it's a hardware problem, windows xp runs fine on this computer [03:35] WhiteDawn, yes. The flash version I'm using is 10.0 r32, and I guess I did install a deb of it. Hold on one second and I'll try to find out what the package was called and what repository it's on [03:35] how do I change the key map? because i have to press 2 times ^ to get the sign :( (german layout) [03:36] does anyone know what the package "ubuntu-x" does it says its a updated xorg software [03:36] szal: so is there any other way I could figure out the problem? [03:36] insm0d: Thanks [03:36] how to set the font of the ttys .. when i do ctrl alt f1 for example for tty1 ? [03:36] mgmuscaril: Yeah thats the site I landed on, maby i didnt follow the process right [03:37] The_Journey: you could check if SystemRescueCd has something for you; it comes w/ a host of diagnostic tools [03:37] That link is similar to my problem, but it's the OS causing the windows, effects... something. [03:37] McSetty:Yes,i use a patch shell script to install,on 2.6.31-14 is good,but upgrade to 2.6.31-15 is wrong. [03:37] It's not isolated problem with just the Internet Browser. [03:38] ChinaForge: Did you download the headers for your kernel? I thought the script downloaded the kernel specific headers automaticallyt [03:38] I've looked everywhere, but can't figure it out. [03:38] can anyone help me with my ubuntu freezing randomly. windows xp runs fine on this computer but I dont want to go back to windows [03:38] I'll attempt to be more descriptive. Here: [03:38] man [03:38] hello fellows [03:39] fine evening i dare say [03:39] when i read bug reports like this, it makes me wonder why the offending packages aren't just rolled back before the release is finalized [03:40] The_Journey: as I said, freezing is mostly hardware-related; run as much of diagnosis as you can.. the fact that your Windblows doesn't freeze is not an indicator to the contrary [03:40] The_Journey: checked RAM using memtest yet? [03:40] szal: yes memtest returned with 0 errors [03:41] McSetty:I think i already download the headers for my kernel.how to verify? [03:42] I don't understand how this could be a hardware problem, it ran fine with Jaunty [03:42] I just updated to Karmic and the freezing starts [03:42] ChinaForge: sudo apt-get install kernel-headers [03:43] McSetty:Yes i do. [03:43] The_Journey: could be kernel problems. some people have been having some crashing/freezing with karmic kernels lately. in fact, i just had a kernel crash a few hours ago. [03:43] Hmmm sorry man I'm not sure then. If you have the headers and run the config script you should be good [03:43] carlee: is there any fix for that? [03:43] McSetty:If not install kernal [03:44] ChinaForge: try downloading an updated install package for vmware maybe? [03:44] McSetty:If not install kernal headers can't install vmware server. [03:44] VLC is unable to open the MRL 'alsa:///dev/audio'. Check the log for details <--- any help? [03:45] The_Journey: theirs millions of possible kernel problems out there. devs already are working hard to patch the most problamatic ones. a good idea at this point would be to submit a bug report [03:45] carlee: that [03:45] ChinaForge: Yeah im pretty sure its not working because the kernel module you built isn't compatible with your upgraded kernel you need the headers so the build script can build a new module [03:45] McSetty:vmware nothing.google nothing. === carlee_ is now known as garytang === garytang is now known as carlee [03:46] Hi, for some reason, *sometimes* when I restart Karmic, my sound gets reset to the default Ubuntu settings -- muted and at like 3% volume. Any way to keep my settings from being reset? [03:46] ChinaForge: if you don't need vmware for a specific reason I would highly recommend virtualbox [03:46] I've run both and had to rebuild the kernel a number of times with vmware and had poor performance with it as well comparitively [03:47] has anyone installed gnome shell 3.0 beta [03:47] $ ls /dev/au* [03:47] /dev/audio [03:48] any help with trying to find how to config the audio for the webcome when using vlc or otherwise? [03:49] check 123... [03:49] McSetty:Yes i hope try,but i can't import vmware VM to vbox. [03:50] ChinaForge: True, you might be able to use imaging software for this but it would be a pain [03:50] ChinaForge: what error do you get when you run the configure.pl? [03:51] ChinaForge: also are you running it with sudo> [03:51] so, er, when i play back any mpeg video since i upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10, the colors seem to be sort of reversed. red is swapped with blue or something. If I fire up the nvidia configuration app, the problem temporarily goes away until i open the next video. [03:51] mgmuscaril: Well i just followed the info on the bug page again and it seems to be working. very wierd. ahwell worth a try for you [03:52] if I create (or edit) a text file in ubuntu, and then open it in windows, instead of newlines I get little squares. How do I avoid this? Do I save it with some specific encoding or something? [03:52] McSetty: run vmware. Output error message:$ vmware [03:52] @@PRODUCT_NAME@@ is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured [03:52] for the running kernel. To (re-)configure it, invoke the [03:52] following command: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl. [03:52] ChinaForge: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === seahorse is now known as Guest25311 [03:53] ChinaForge: is that the error when you try to run vmware? or when you try to run the configure.pl? [03:53] run vmware, [03:53] ChinaForge: what about when you run the configure.pl? whats the error then? [03:53] knoppies: Unix line breaks and Dos line breaks are different, but only really poor applications like notepad should have a problem with it [03:54] I login to Ubuntu and begin scrolling through my Applications, Places, Etc... and no problem. I select system, then mouse settings (whatever) and as soon as I hover over any buttons, check spaces, roll down menus, the mouse has a hay day and selects random stuff... usually closest to the left of the screen. If I choose to select Accessibility with the mouse pointer, it'll flicker and flucker and not open. Now I choose to open anoth [03:54] knoppies, the reason for that is windows needs a carriage return character and a newline character to properly display new lines. I'm not sure how to fix it on the Linux side, sorry. [03:54] hello, i was wondering how i could make gnome-shell the default.. gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager gnome-shell --type string doesn't work [03:54] knoppies: If you need to have things work with notepad you can use unix2dos [03:54] knoppies: that question is as old as *nixes and DOS/Windows coexist -> yes, it's encoding-related; *nixes typically only write a newline character at the line break position while DOS/Windows expects a carriage return and newline at that position [03:54] I need help with an apache question :) [03:55] quit [03:55] McSetty:sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl,Error Message:The following VMware kernel modules have been found on your system that were not installed by the VMware Installer. Please remove them then run this installer again. [03:55] thanks. So I cant just save it with a windows encoding? I will have a look at unix2dos. [03:56] knoppies: you can, question is what Linux will say to that if it's a config file or something [03:56] What does it sound like to you (everyone)? /me needs at least an opinion. :( [03:57] szal, I dont plan on doing it with config files, just txt documents that I have created. Thanks though. [03:57] Pardon me, how does one set up memmap in 9.10? [03:57] I'm trying to get mod_rewrite to work in apache. It's loaded and I've tried the same things mentioned in every forum I could find, and for some reason, it is not running. :) Can someone troubleshoot with me? [03:57] brandenstone: Daemon possession [03:58] :( [03:58] brandenstone: Does that happen with any other applications? [03:58] ChinaForge: I think you have to modeprobe -r the vmware module [03:58] Yes [03:58] ChinaForge: Im not sure what the modules name is though [03:58] if anyone knows whatsup with gnome-shell.. [03:58] brandenstone: File a bug report with "ubuntu-bug xorg" [03:59] im wondering how i could make gnome-shell the default.. gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager gnome-shell --type string doesn't work === infogulch is now known as infogulch|COD [03:59] Will that work or no? Or is it just a report to wait? [03:59] IsharaComix: Do you mean mmap? [03:59] i did it before, but then i tried xfce (sucks for battery life on laptop) so im back in gnome [03:59] >_> [03:59] It was memmap in 9.04... [04:00] IsharaComix: What does it do? [04:00] I'm trying to get mod_rewrite to work in apache. It's loaded and I've tried the same things mentioned in every forum I could find, and for some reason, it is not running. :) Can someone troubleshoot with me? [04:00] It worked when booting from the livecd, but I can't set up /etc/default/grub to use it right. [04:00] I cant seem to get my traffic to route from my wireless ehternet card to my regular nic.. what gives? [04:00] IsharaComix: What exactly are you trying to do? [04:01] I have a bad block of memory at 2324M. [04:01] Hello, how do i cofigure my 5.1 music system in ubuntu, i am using ver 9.10 gnome [04:01] IsharaComix: Ahh, ok [04:01] I usually append "memmap=20M$2320M" to my boot options, and it fixes it. [04:01] But in 9.10, I get a kernel panic every time. [04:01] IsharaComix: Replace the double quotes with single quotes [04:01] ChinaForge: try channel #vmware im sure someone can tell you how to unload the kernel module in there [04:02] IsharaComix; downdgrade to 9.04. lol [04:02] IsharaComix: /etc/default/grub is a shell script, the '$' is being interpreted as a variable [04:02] I escaped it already. [04:02] can someone please help with media settings in ubuntu 9.10 [04:02] !ask| new_to_linux [04:02] McSetty:Thank you! [04:02] new_to_linux: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:03] mezquitale: how do i cofigure my 5.1 music system in ubuntu, i am using ver 9.10 gnome [04:03] Jordan_U: Do you think it could be settings causing this? What controls the windows opening and closing? Also, mouse selection? I'm still new to Ubuntu since I never really got a start. I'm using the Ubuntu carefully now. :-/ [04:03] mezquitale: it is at present using only 2 speakers instead of 5 [04:04] new_to_linux, system → prefs → sound [04:04] OK, I think I see what you mean now. I have to escape it twice... [04:04] new_to_linux, I have never tried that, I suggest you ask the same question again later, if someone knows the answer they will reply, if not then try logging in at another time [04:04] IsharaComix: Wait... I think I know the problem, and it's so absurd it's hillarious [04:05] Hey all... why does my SD card suddenly not identify teh filesystem when I use 'mount'?? Also, when I run Skype, my digital spdif output signal dies. Why so? [04:05] IsharaComix: Grub's grub.cfg actually uses a scripting language that's supposed to be loosely like bash [04:05] IsharaComix: So it may be that you need to escape the '$' *twice* [04:06] Roey, what filesystem is on the SD card? [04:06] Right. I just noticed that on a bug report on Launchpad. [04:06] Thanks for your help. Going to try to fix it now. [04:06] new_to_linux: I had problems with sound too at one time, but figured it out. I'll review real quick and give you an answer how to enable sound on your computer. :D [04:06] IsharaComix: np [04:07] hi [04:07] Can anyone help me with the following error "ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.116 port 22: Connection refused" [04:07] insm0d: standard FAT32. It's worked up till yesterday (er, today... I apt-get dist-upgraded) [04:07] nullr1: it means your ssh server on that machine isn't working [04:08] I have a weird problem with ubuntu 9.10 I think it stops using the dns server or something [04:08] Veinor: how do I fix it? Its my local machine. I made new keys but it does not work, [04:08] brandenstone: thanks [04:08] insm0d: I didn't see any system notification through KDE when I would plug my SD card into the reader, so I checked it out in a command-line shell and saw that using 'mount /dev/sdd /mnt' gave me an error that it doesn't udnerstand the filesystem. [04:08] slinkeey: run nslookup google.com [04:08] im wondering how i could make gnome-shell the default.. gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager gnome-shell --type string doesn't work [04:08] after awhile i have to reboot to get internet working again by domain (www.google.com) [04:08] insm0d: normally it identifies it on its own [04:08] How would I go about installing openbox on ubuntu? I don't want to get rid of gnome though, rather have the option to start up in gnome or openbox in the login screen. Thanks! [04:08] well it is working now [04:09] can i make windows with gradient colors with compiz? [04:09] slinkeey: can you cat /etc/resolv.conf? [04:09] should I run that when it stops working? [04:09] insm0d: 'dmesg' definitely detects /dev/sdd though. [04:09] ManUpstairs: install the openbox package [04:09] slinkeey: yes,. both of those [04:09] ok [04:09] Is there any risk of breaking anything? [04:09] ManUpstairs: No [04:09] Thanks! :) [04:09] hi ,good morning [04:09] thanks [04:09] new_to_linux: First off, have you checked "sound preferences" in "system"? [04:10] I will try that when it stops working [04:10] have you tried mounting /dev/sdd1? In linux, the devices are alphabetic characters and partitions are numbers [04:10] and then i will repost my question [04:10] HI [04:10] insm0d: well yes [04:10] let me reword that as it didnt sound right, can i color my widows boxes with gradiant colors in compiz [04:10] er [04:10] insm0d: let me check, actually. [04:10] brandenstone: ok, i opened sound preferences [04:10] slinkeey: if you can't nslookup google, add teh follwoing line to /etc/resolv.conf [04:10] slinkeey: nameserver 4.2.2.2 [04:10] How do I fix "ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.116 port 22: Connection refused" already made new keys. I tried the forum stuff but nothing works. [04:10] nullr1: is sshd running> [04:10] who owns 4.2.2.2? [04:10] firefox uses its own dns resolver [04:10] insm0d: oh that works perfectly (Trhough the ocmmand line, at leat). Silly me, forgetting the number. [04:11] insm0d: thanks! Now, why doesn't KDE pick up on this.... [04:11] hrm [04:11] russlar: I dont see why not I never stopped it [04:11] it was working earlier [04:11] new_to_linux: Hint, my computer is acting funny... so I might not be able to get into it to look. Cross your fingers. :( [04:11] nullr1: try telnet 192.168.1.116 22 [04:11] nullr1, you might need to delete ~.ssh/known_hosts [04:11] slinkeey: that's level3's dns server [04:11] brandenstone: oh god, now its worse, i changed hardware setting between some confusing options, and now no sound [04:12] they own the enitre 4.0.0.0/8 block [04:12] anyone know how to install pip (python) in ubuntu? [04:12] ok [04:12] telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused [04:12] nullr1, echo '' > .ssh/know_hosts [04:12] I was using opendns for awhile to get around the problem [04:12] insm0d: it looks like his connection gets refused before ssh challenges for the key [04:12] new_to_linux: Yea, Linux can be a pain in an ###. lol [04:12] or what package i can find it in? [04:12] nullr1: somehting is blocking that port. either ssh isn't listening there, or there's a firewall on [04:13] is sshd running off a non-standard port I wonder? [04:13] why does my router as an dns stop working for one machine, butnot the other... [04:13] nullr1: or ssh is misconfugured and not really running [04:13] is there no way to configure a proper 5.1 music system [04:13] no its on 22 [04:13] nullr1: Are you able to log into the system at all? [04:14] how do I restart ssh yes I am on it now [04:14] there must be some package or way to use all 5 speakers... whats the use of having hardware if you cant use it!?! help please [04:14] new_to_linux: Yes, but I'm afraid I'm unable to answer because of problems with my computer. I'm unable to open windows and etc... without problems occurring. [04:14] puff: this is my local system I cant ssh from it to it or from my other computer to it [04:14] nullr1: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart [04:14] nullr1: There are only a limited number of possibilities: 1) sshd isn't running, 2) sshd is running but on a different port, 3) something on the client machine is preventing you from connecting, [04:14] brandenstone: ah ok, thanks for the help [04:15] nullr1: Well sshing _from_ it should have nothing to do with sshd, so that makes it a firewall or network problem. [04:15] Hi guys [04:15] new_to_linux: Sorry, I'm here because my windows are malfunctioning. I have a speaker system too. That's why I know. :) [04:15] nullr1: Also, check this: try sshing to the numeric ip address, not to the domain name. Might be dns. [04:15] are there any open source openssl key to PVK converters? [04:15] Anyone here using a tabletpc with ubuntu? [04:15] nullr1: And also again, try sshing to localhost. [04:16] hi guys.. i have a printer setuped on my desktop.. i need to get it shared with other ubuntu and windows xp machins.. how do i get this done ? [04:16] brandenstone: Are you using Ubuntu 9.10? [04:16] new_to_linux: It's been awhile since I've messed around with it. [04:16] puff: I did ip/dns and local host none work Its the server not running [04:16] brandenstone: lol [04:17] nullr1: Come again? [04:17] new_to_linux: Yes, but I've had the same problem with previous versions of Linux. [04:17] Does anyone know to calibrate a pen under linux? [04:17] Standarshy: Nope. [04:17] nullr1: if you run the ssh client from the command line on the remote machine, sshd should have no bearing on whether oyu can connect to some other machine. [04:17] brandenstone: That question was from me, not new_to_linux :) [04:18] Anyone else besides brandenstone? [04:18] nullr1: If you cannot ssh _in_ and you also cannot ssh _out_, that's a pretty strong clue that it's the local network, firewall, gateway, or something similar. [04:18] Jordan_U: Oops. Big lol I didn't notice until you said something. [04:18] puff: I can ssh out but not in [04:19] what is the usual path to gedit? [04:19] I need to "choose a text editor" [04:19] via a file selector window [04:19] puff: what is the command to check what is running on port 22 ? [04:19] Royall: open a terminal winbdow and do "which gedit" [04:19] Standarshy: There might be someone where that knows. [04:19] Royall: /usr/bin/gedit [04:19] nullr1: netstat. [04:19] puff: beautiful thanks [04:20] * Standarshy is trying to find the person that knows how to calibrate the pen [04:20] Royall: You can find the full path for any command with "which " [04:20] ho [04:20] I suspect that my country's ubuntu repositories are not the fastest available. is there an utility or website to test which repository is the fastest for your internet connection? [04:20] Standarshy: Sorry, I wish I had a tablet PC, but I don't. [04:20] Jordan_U: I realize thanks [04:20] chuy_max: Yes, it's part of System > Administration > Software Sources [04:20] Royall: np [04:20] Standarshy: Just be patient since there are so many people here at one time... someone will answer. [04:20] mmm, ok :D [04:20] nullr1: netstat -lnp | fgrep 22 [04:21] puff: thanks thats the one i was looking for [04:21] Anybody with netinstall setup expertise? I seem to be doing something wrong with my server setup. [04:21] netstat, -l for listening sockets, -n for numeric port instead of port name, and -p for display process ID and process name. [04:22] brandenstone: Is there a general area where devices would usually be configured? [04:22] puff: its not running [04:22] http://pastebin.com/m385a7cb <-- SD card insertion notification in KDE system tray applet worked for me yesterday, before I did an upgrade of the files listed in the link there... Anyone else having issues? [04:22] !details | Taim [04:22] Taim: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [04:22] puff: hold on [04:22] Jordan_U: I'm using 9:10, but have had that same problem with previous with previous versions of Ubuntu. [04:22] Anybody know a) is there a less user-unfriendly googletalk client, b) how/what to set up to use google voice to make phone calls? [04:22] Let's see here.... [04:23] puff: nice nick [04:23] installing karmic i386 alternate via PXE. [04:23] billybigrigger: heh === jerald is now known as prappl93 [04:23] server is running karmic with dnsmasq and lighttp. [04:23] I have the cd loop mounted to /var/www/ubuntu-i386-alt [04:23] * mahngiel waves good eve to all [04:23] Every time I install the ATI driver then restart, it flashes to something saying that it can't load a resolution so it tries another one, but after that it appears to crash because nothing happens. [04:24] How do I fix that? [04:24] puff: $ sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start [04:24] sudo: /etc/init.d/sshd: command not found [04:24] [04:24] what is ubuntu-x [04:24] Taim: try to keep your responses on one line and type the nick of who you are talking to first, thanks. [04:24] sigh [04:24] puff: please tell me it did not get uninstalled [04:24] nullr1: The init script is named ssh, not sshd [04:24] Does anybody use AWN dock with dual screen? I can't seem to figure out how to get the dock OFF of my 2nd monitor and onto my primary monitor. [04:24] Standarshy: Not sure. I'm assuming you'd need some form of plugin. I'll browse a sec to see if I find anything while I wait for an answer from Jordan. [04:25] Roey: Thanks, been using it for a looooooong time. [04:25] nullr1: sudo invoke-rc.d ssh start [04:25] geirha: oh puff gave me that command earlier [04:25] nullr1: Well, sshd is'nt necessarily installed by default. [04:25] puff: I immediately thought of the song [04:25] Roey, heh? what you laughin at? [04:25] :P [04:25] Roey: What song, "Puff the fractal dragon?" [04:25] geirha: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start [04:25] sudo: /etc/init.d/ssh: command not found [04:25] nullr1: /etc/init.d/ssh ( no "d" ) would work to but invoke-rc.d is the "proper" way to do it [04:25] geirha: no I didn't recommend restarting sshd. [04:26] puff: the magic dragon [04:26] nullr1: It would be sshd if it's there. [04:26] billybigrigger: nice nick :) [04:26] Taim: you try to boot the machine you want to install to with minimal-cd and then remote access the (full-) cd ?? [04:26] Jordan_U: sudo invoke-rc.d ssh start [04:26] invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/ssh not found [04:26] puff, its ssh in ubuntu [04:26] billybigrigger: I like creative ones like that [04:26] nullr1: On second thought, no it woul-loses. [04:26] feyner: Thanks, I just checked... [04:26] nullr1: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [04:26] I saw a random blog posting today that said something along the lines of "installing from the upgrade button 9.04 to 9.10 in Synaptic would not get all the installation applications you get with downloading the DVD and installing from media" Wanting to find out if this is true. and, if so, where do I find out what is included int he DVD that wasn't sent along the online upgrade. [04:26] is there any reason to install ubuntu-x [04:26] brandenstone: Would seeing the output of my xinput be of any help? [04:27] nullr1: Step one, dpkg -l | fgrep -i ssh [04:27] Standarshy: http://kerkness.ca/?s=Creating%20a%20Touch%20Screen%20Kiosk%20using%20Firefox,%20Ubuntu%20and%20Blackbox [04:27] Jordan_U: I have all the config and key files How did they get there with no server? [04:27] Roey, yeah i'm quite a fan of it myself :) [04:27] Does anybody use AWN dock with dual screen? I can't seem to figure out how to get the dock OFF of my 2nd monitor and onto my primary monitor. [04:27] Trying to compile driver for GDE-530T DLink nic on 9.1 server, receiving "kernel header version" errors. Any suggestions? [04:27] Dracofodder: Only ext4 and grub2, because those are major changes that are too risky to change in an upgrade [04:27] DasEi: Installing karmic i386 alternate on a laptop via pxeboot. Server is karmic with dnsmasq and lighttpd. I am booting from the netboot image provided on the cd. I am pointing the archive mirror to my server and the loop-mounted full iso as the directory. [04:27] Jordan_U: Really? (re: invoke-rc.d) [04:27] STUPID but reinstalling worked [04:27] DasEi: so I get 404's for some but not all of the files. [04:27] puff: Yes === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [04:28] Jordan_U: thanks! that tells me its nothing I need to worry over downloading anytime soon. [04:28] nullr1: Uninstalling a package does not remove the configuration for that package [04:28] Jordan_U: I'm more familiar with /etc/init.d, been using it for years. What's the rational for using invoke-rc.d being more proper? [04:28] Jordan_U: Got any ideas? [04:28] Taim: why not put the lappi to i-net and use the online repos instead ? [04:28] anyone know of a fix if your encrypted root partition won't mount at boot, but it does mount in initramfs? [04:28] DasEi: It's much slower? [04:28] Where is the correct place to manually place new software in my filesystem? /usr/local/bin? [04:29] I have a problem with Karmic, whenever I try to install/activate new drivers, I get caught on the "downloading and installing driver" window [04:29] D: [04:29] Wow that makes sense I installed 9.10 today by default I keep a different /home/ partition and thats is why everything was still there from my 9.04 install. I am such a n00b [04:29] brandenstone: no, sorry [04:29] eatloaf: i add ~/bin/ to my path, so anything i might want to keep accross systems is easily backed up with my personal files. [04:29] Taim: k, but updated and less complicated, are there permission problems maybe in your current approach ? [04:29] thedude42: what do you mean. what happens? [04:29] eatloaf: (and put uncommon apps in there) [04:29] sorry for wasting everyones time [04:29] Whenever I try to activate a driver, the "downloading and installing drivers" window just hangs there [04:30] DasEi: Possibly...But doubtful. [04:30] ubuntumason: what driver? [04:30] kermit: what about apps i want runnable by any user? [04:30] ugg [04:30] Broadcom wireless [04:30] eatloaf: well then yea usr/local [04:30] that was difficult enough to get back in [04:30] kermit: k thanks [04:31] hello [04:31] brandenstone: I am not trying to set up a Kiosk, I'm not even sure what that is [04:31] Taim: I did few installs by minimal/inet but apart from reading I haven't tried psxe, so I draw back there [04:31] hi [04:31] puff: I don't think that it really makes a difference, possibly so that the exact directory path / back end ( maybe in 2020 it will init scripts will be stored in a database ) can change while scripts can still use invoke-rc.d the same way [04:31] Everyone: FWD Chat Post: "I login to Ubuntu and begin scrolling through my Applications, Places, Etc... and no problem. I select system, then mouse settings (whatever) and as soon as I hover over any buttons, check spaces, roll down menus, the mouse has a hay day and selects random stuff... usually closest to the left of the screen. If I choose to select Accessibility with the mouse pointer, it'll flicker and flucker [04:31] pxe* [04:31] anyone familiar with evolution? (mail client) .. because im trying to add mail filters for an imap server but they arent getting applied i mean, no mails get moved to another folder. like if a mail comes from @bla.com i want it to be automatically moved to folder "frombla" ... isnt that possible for imap servers with evolution? === tenach_ is now known as tenach [04:31] puff: It's official debian policy that all package scripts should use invoke-rc.d [04:32] is there a way to undelete a file from a second partiton? they dont go to trash [04:32] when i change the window manager to gnome-shell in terminal or wit configediter it reverts back to metacity [04:32] DasEi: I have pxeboot working. I think it's something with the net install and the fact that I am using either copied or loop-mounted media. [04:32] any ideas? [04:32] Standarshy: I would help, but as you can see I'm not in too good a shape myself. lol [04:32] Can anyone here assist me in calibrating my tabletpc pen? [04:32] Jordan_U: Ah, so it's an abstraction layer. [04:32] Does Linux not like Broadcom drivers [04:32] brandenstone: I missed whatever problem you stated as having. [04:32] Does anybody use AWN dock with dual screen? I can't seem to figure out how to get the dock OFF of my 2nd monitor and onto my primary monitor. [04:32] DasEi: I tried setting all my files 0777 (I know, it's bad stuff, but....) with no sucess. [04:32] ubuntumason, I think it's the other way around [04:32] grrrr [04:33] this is making me crazy [04:33] Taim: a loop-mounted device is same as cd, that's not a problem, how owns the mountpoint ? [04:33] when i change the window manager to gnome-shell in terminal or wit configediter it reverts back to metacity? any ideas? [04:33] DasEi: www-data [04:33] Taim: a loop-mounted device is same as cd, that's not a problem, who owns the mountpoint ? [04:33] Standarshy: Don't worry about it... I tried w/ it like it is. :D [04:33] hello, when i bootup grub2 shows linux 9.10 2.6.31-14 generic and linux 9.10 2.6.28-16 generic, whats the difference...which one should i be using? [04:33] ubuntu network-manager-plugin is not letting me add a openvpn network [04:33] the add button is just grey [04:33] puff: For a practical advantage you can use tab completion to complete parameters ( like start, stop, status etc ) if you use invoke-rc.d [04:34] roger use 31-14 its the newer one [04:34] Another dumb question but is it possible to tunnel with the "ssh" command like you can do on a windows machine with putty or is tunneling a different command? [04:34] nullr1: You can.... [04:34] SSH is tunneling [04:35] george: ok thanks [04:35] np =] [04:35] rogertemp1: 2.6.28-16 is your old kernel from before you upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10. Old kernels are kept so that if there is a problem with a kernel upgrade you can always go back to a known working kernel [04:35] Taim: does it tunnel every port or do I have to tunnel specific ports like putty [04:35] nullr1: see the -L and -R options on the man page [04:35] nullr1: The commands on Windows Command Prompt and Linux Terminal are not the same. [04:35] nullr1: The exact same as putty [04:35] ok [04:35] anybody knows how to shutdown ssh on port 22? I have openssh installed and configured in a nonstandard port however port 22 is still open locally, how can I disable port 22?? [04:36] Does anybody use AWN dock with dual screen? I can't seem to figure out how to get the dock OFF of my 2nd monitor and onto my primary monitor. [04:36] Jordan_U: That is, atually, a significant nicety. [04:36] when i change the window manager to gnome-shell in terminal or wit configediter it reverts back to metacity? any ideas? [04:36] mezquitale: i beleive all ports are open unless you configure the firewall [04:36] only on port 22? or shutdown ssh totally? [04:36] mezquitale, have you restarted ssh? [04:36] /etc/init.d/ssh stop [04:36] sudo [04:36] feyner, no, I havent restarted ssh [04:37] Taim: thanks it was the -L command [04:37] mezquitale, sudo service ssh restart [04:37] george: you probably arent going to get much support for gnome-shell here. You probably should ask in a gnome channel (maybe a different server too?) [04:37] nullr1: Indeed. [04:37] ** Is there a phone I can call for Ubuntu support? [04:37] mezquitale: if you haven't rebooted since you reconfigured sshd then find the PID with netstat -np|grep 22 and kill it [04:37] new question: does music play better with digital stereo duplex (IEC958), i have no output when i select this under hardware..only analog stereo works...what is digital stereo duplex anyway [04:37] ...number... [04:37] brandenstone: you are already here why call? [04:38] KDE feels like I'm clicking on tin foil buttons. [04:38] virtuald, I've rebooted my server ever since I configured it. I configured it to use a nonstandard port but port 22 is still open though [04:38] brandenstone: did you buy support from canonical? [04:38] How can I play a video store in an .iso image instead of burning it to a dvd then playing it? [04:38] nullr1: I'm not getting anywhere. :( est20min+ [04:38] rogertemp1: sound is sketch atm. just go with what works [04:38] mezquitale: ok, can you pastebin your conf? [04:38] russlar: no [04:39] Brookman, I just open the ISO in VLC, works every time. [04:39] Bookman: VLC can play iso files directly or you can mount the iso file [04:39] Bookman, I'll have a guide for you in a moment [04:39] brandenstone: what is your problem? write it all in one response so its easy to keep track of. They have helped on both my problems. [04:39] !iso | Bookman [04:39] Bookman: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [04:39] russlar: How much is support? Do you have a link? [04:39] brandenstone: How long is sufficient before repeating my question? [04:40] !iso | Bookman [04:40] virtuald, yes I can, Im just wondering what could be wrong with my setup? I try to login locally specifying port 22, it attempts to login but fails because I use a key which is the way I want it but port 22 is supposed to be closed, how do you close the port? does port 22 get automatically closed when you specify a non standard port? [04:40] virtuald, or he can do sed -i 's/Port 22/Port NEWPORT/g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config ; service ssh resstart [04:40] Standarshy: Confused?? [04:40] brandenstone: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/services [04:40] ChogyDan, didnt follow..what is sketch atm [04:40] Jordan_U, How do I get vlc to play .iso directly? [04:40] brandenstone: nvm [04:40] rogertemp1: sketchy at the moment [04:41] virtuald, forget it, I found the culprit on the first line in sshd_config, port 22 is open in sshd_config [04:41] mezquitale: Yes, if you changed the configuration file properly ( and restarted sshd ) [04:41] russlar: I'll forward my message. Please tell me to clarify if needed. [04:41] Bookman: follow the links given, mount the iso, point vlc to the mountpoint [04:41] I'm going to go Raid the Fridge. WHO'S BLOODY WITH ME?! [04:41] mezquitale: I thought so :) [04:41] brandenstone: I don't knwo gnome. I can't help you [04:41] DasEi, what should the mountpoint name be? where should it be stored? [04:41] oh ok [04:42] Jordan_U, I have port 22 open in sshd_config, I'm going to erase the line and restart the server lke feyner told me to [04:42] * brandenstone walks outside his house and screams!!!!!!!!!!!! [04:42] Bookman, a mountpoint is an empty folder [04:42] Bookman: say the iso is called film.iso, do a : [04:42] brandenstone: WHAT IS THE PROBLEM [04:42] Bookman: sudo mkdir /media/iso [04:42] FWD Chat Post: "I login to Ubuntu and begin scrolling through my Applications, Places, Etc... and no problem. I select system, then mouse settings (whatever) and as soon as I hover over any buttons, check spaces, roll down menus, the mouse has a hay day and selects random stuff... usually closest to the left of the screen. If I choose to select Accessibility with the mouse pointer, it'll flicker and flucker and not o [04:42] rogertemp1: sorry, maybe that is too american of lingo. Sound support isn't that great nor comprehensive. Just go with what works [04:42] DasEi, ah, got it. [04:43] brandenstone: when all else fails reintsall [04:43] lol [04:43] Bookman:sudo mount -o loop fil.iso /media/iso [04:43] the gnome-shell channel told me to ask here [04:43] they said its probably something in ubuntu [04:43] Bookman:sudo chown -R /media/iso [04:43] nullr1: Doesn't work... every version... every time... it doesn't work. :( [04:43] anyone familiar with evolution? (mail client) .. because im trying to add mail filters for an imap server but they arent getting applied i mean, no mails get moved to another folder. like if a mail comes from @bla.com i want it to be automatically moved to folder "frombla" ... isnt that possible for imap servers with evolution? [04:43] also i used it just fine on here about 3 weeks ago till i uninstalled and tried xubuntu.. now its a no go [04:43] george: how did you install it? [04:43] Bookman:vlc /media/iso [04:44] brandenstone: Maybe its not the software ;) [04:44] from the repo for ubuntu like i did last time [04:44] brandenstone: maybe hardware? [04:44] Can anyone here assist me in calibrating my tabletpc pen? [04:44] worked just fine >_> [04:44] DasEi, what if the .iso is on a remote computer? On my LAN? [04:44] I did mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb [04:44] Nope, all my other OSs work perfect. :D [04:44] george: erm, xubuntu isnt gnome. Maybe gnome-shell just doenst work with xubuntu? [04:44] Multiboot system. :) [04:44] brandenstone: what is the mouse make/model? [04:44] Bookman: access via samba (or nfs or..) [04:44] oh my bad i reinstalled gnome/ubuntu again [04:45] Swissgear [04:45] 9.10 [04:45] I did mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb , after fdisk -l , it shows /dev/sdb linux , why ? what should i do ? [04:45] Bookman: If you can access the file you can mount it [04:45] freaky[t]: highlight the message and ctrl-y. Does that move it? [04:45] same stuff i was using a few weeks ago [04:45] brandenstone: swissgear what? Do you have a model number? [04:45] brandenstone: what else have you tried? also what mouse are you using? [04:45] Bookman: You can even mount an iso file from an http server without download the whole iso first if you really want to :) [04:46] i wanna asking about the new clamav? [04:46] george: so you installed from a ppa, and then you use the command: gnome-shell --replace ? [04:46] Jordan_U: though watching dvd could be hard (speed) [04:46] Taim: Swissgear The Spyder and it's a wireless mouse. That's all I know. :/ [04:46] DasEi, So, would I mount it with sudo mount -o loop sftp://.........? [04:46] is there any body using new clamav user interface? [04:46] I did mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb , after fdisk -l , it shows /dev/sdb linux , why ? what should i do ? [04:46] port 22: Connection refused, thank you virtuald feyner Jordan_U virtuald [04:46] Bookman: yes, if the bandwith is good enough [04:46] i know this isnt the place but this irc has the most ppl can someone pls try logging into ftp://flasbang73.dyndns.org and tell me if it works [04:46] DasEi, We shall see! [04:46] brandenstone: when my mouse goes crazy sometimes just unplugging it and reconnecting work [04:47] Bookman: also can use vlc to open network [04:47] !offtopic | flasbang73 [04:47] flasbang73: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:47] Bookman: you gotto mount the iso on the remote machine and then again point vlc to it [04:47] ppa no? it's in the normal ubuntu repos [04:47] and gnome-shell --replace works fine [04:47] Bookman: vlc = video lan [04:47] somebody keeps loggin in to my router and changing the routes--man in the middle attack--how should I go about it? Obviously, there is a security hole in my router that very few people know about but should I report the culprit?? what should I do? [04:47] nullr1: Using the mouse via numpad doesn't really solve the issue either. Unplugging it and etc... doesn't work. [04:48] Jeruvy, it's now displaying "filtering selected message" "retrieving selected message" and "refreshing folder" at the bottom all 3 at the same time since 3 minutes [04:48] ChogyDan : ppa no? it's in the normal ubuntu repos | and gnome-shell --replace works fine [04:48] nullr1: It's both the mouse and windows that are causing the issue. [04:49] DasEi, hmm, didn't seem to work [04:49] george: hmm, ok. Cool that its in the repos, but if that works, what is the problem? I thought it didnt work [04:49] brandenstone: reintsall [04:49] it doesn't want to be default [04:49] freaky[t]: not unusual. [04:49] ok [04:49] brandenstone: Did you try turning sensitivity down a notch or two? [04:49] when i do the command to change it to default.. it reverts back to metacity [04:49] I lost my dns again [04:49] I added 4.2.2.2 and I am up now [04:49] george: ah, sorry, I've no idea [04:49] Jeruvy, now it says error while resfreshing folder and nothing got moved [04:50] ;x [04:50] Bookman: can you reach the file via wget or scp / vsftp ? [04:50] exit [04:50] nullr1: Doesn't work. Number 5+ I've reinstalled fresh on it. [04:50] im not sure why it would work 3 weeks ago, but now natha .-. [04:50] I am not sure why I keep loosing connection to my internet router's dns server [04:50] Hey, i'm trying to get my vpn to work and getting this in /var/log/messages http://paste2.org/p/511697 [04:50] Taim: yes. [04:50] DasEi, yup [04:50] freaky[t]: sounds like your rules are not working. [04:50] strange [04:51] Bookman: what kind of server is the remote machine running ? [04:51] brandenstone: I have only had this issue with kde never with gnome. I mean reainstall ubuntu backup /home/ and your useful bits and wipe the rest [04:51] DasEi, I am accessing the file via sftp [04:51] g'night [04:51] nullr1: I've had both KDE and GNOME. Both did it and KDE was worse. [04:52] freaky[t]: are you having problems checking mail? [04:52] Bookman: try to use vlc > open netw... > ftp://ip/path/to/mount [04:52] Jeruvy, no [04:52] ok guys does anyone use the network-manager-openvpn plugin? [04:52] freaky[t]: what did the error message appear for? ie: what were you doing when the error occurred? [04:52] Bookman: prbly the remote machine doesn't allow access [04:53] Jeruvy, waiting for ctrl+y to finish [04:53] nullr1: Can I get technicians that specialize in Ubuntu or simply Linux? [04:53] freaky[t]: try deleting your rule and recreating it, if its a compound filter, try just one step at a time. [04:54] g'day, does anyone know if the current libnotify notifications are configurable? the old ones were much better. these ones in 9.10 stay there forever and notification-properties doesn't change them at all [04:54] brandenstone: theres people here from time to time you can try the forums but thats is useless with obscure issues such as this one. anyother way youd have to pay [04:54] Agrajag, you're comment is relevant to my interests as well [04:55] g'day, does anyone know how to make the windows in the window list clickable? it only works about half the time [04:55] Jeruvy, i allready deleted it 3 times and reset it up [04:55] the other half, the windows don't focus [04:55] how did this get released [04:55] DasEi, yeah, doesn't seem to work. I have access to any file via sftp that I want. Just not for movie viewing, or .iso access. [04:55] does freenode not accepts periods in nicknames? [04:55] brandenstone: Do you have another mouse/keyboard you can try? [04:55] denis_k: it's pretty hard to try it and see [04:55] freaky[t]: what are you trying to do? [04:56] can someone please help me when i add sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/testing witch adds docky to the sources but when i do apt-get instaLL docky it says not found [04:56] Jeruvy, adding a mail filter for one account, to move new mails from a specific sender to a specific folder for that sender [04:56] this is the site its on [04:56] http://www.webupd8.org/2009/10/install-docky-and-update-gnome-shell.html [04:56] webbb82, the ppa has moved [04:56] wabz: tried with empathy but keeps saying error blah blah, can't really check since it doesn't have the server channel [04:56] DasEi, I don't think what I'm trying to do is possible. [04:56] webbb82: apt-get update? [04:56] webbb82 try doing a sudo apt-get update first [04:56] i guess it doesn't, never saw anybody with a . [04:56] webbb82, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:docky-core [04:56] alreADY did [04:56] brandenstone: have you tried selecting a different mouse during install? [04:56] freaky[t]: can you describe each filter as you've added it? [04:57] why is libnotify part of karmic [04:57] Agrajag-: what do you want to change? [04:57] wabz, lots of things link it [04:57] well it's a piece of shit! [04:57] freaky[t]: if copying that in chat is difficult, try exporting the filter and pastebin'ing it. [04:57] nullr1: No to question one and two. I'm using a Logitech wired keyboard and Swissgear wireless mouse. There brand new and don't have any problems with other operating systems. [04:57] if sender contains mail.domain.tld action: move to inbox --> domain [04:57] wabz, whats wrong with it now, and please dont swear [04:57] @ Jeruvy [04:57] Billiard: the placement of them, how long they stay up, whether clicking on them makes them disappear and the next one pop up etc. [04:58] does anybody know how to change the timer for the automatic touchpad disable? [04:58] brandenstone: do you just reinstall the xwindow or the whole os? [04:59] DBO: I can't configure where they go, they look like rubbish, and they hover around forever [04:59] does anyone knpow what the package ubuntu-x does to your xorg files [04:59] and the config thing does nothing [04:59] nullr1: What's the difference? I downloaded the full 32bit 9:10 OS and installed with Grub 2. [04:59] wabz, thats notify osd you have a problem with, not libindicate [04:59] Agrajag-: well i know you can change the position of them, there may be other settings somewhere else. to change the position and them you can run the command libnotify-config i believe its called, you can type libnotify if that doesnt work [04:59] wabz, libnotify, sorry [04:59] anyone else know how to mount a .iso file on a computer over a network? [05:00] Jeruvy, :( seems like evolution cant help me there :( [05:00] nullr1: I've installed previous versions w/ Kunbuntu and had the same issues. [05:00] maybe i should switch to firefox [05:00] Bookman: accessing it how? [05:00] thunderbird i mean [05:00] freaky[t]: so the filter is based on 'sender' and 'contains' a.example.com and the result is to 'move to folder' and you've selected "inbox"? [05:00] Jeruvy, yes [05:00] freaky[t]: try changing the folder to something other than inbox [05:01] Billiard, I just want to play a dvd video that is in .iso form on a remote server. [05:01] brandenstone: try 64 bit and run the disk image self test when it starts up. I have gotten bad disk images and installs without a problem but later fails. [05:01] Billiard, via sftp [05:01] Jeruvy, it's inbox-->folderforthoseeMAils [05:01] brandenstone: hold on [05:01] nullr1: Kunbuntu was a nightmare compared to Ubuntu. [05:01] Bookman: could install sshfs [05:01] speaking of evolution, did you know that in the tech world there are 3 levels? Nerd, Computer Repair guy, Geek. Geek being the highest level of computer smarts. [05:01] Billiard, on which, the server or the client? [05:01] webbb82, so is docky going okay for you? [05:02] Bookman: client [05:02] when do you go from Nerd to Computer Repair Guy? === wolf is now known as Guest34787 [05:02] no its too slow [05:02] Billiard: there is no libnotify-config or similar, i can't find it with apt-cache search, do you know which package provides it? notification-properties exists, but the options is gives don't actually do anything [05:02] freaky[t]: try deleting the action and adding it with the correct folder name. Then quit and restart evolution [05:02] When you finish college. [05:02] I can never tell if Nerd is still a bad label anymore [05:02] my wifi on my karmic macbook seems to have died recently :( [05:02] bdoth, just because youre a geek doesnt mean you can fix a computer [05:02] Jeruvy, didnt help [05:02] nullr1: I have a compatible Gigabyte 64bit motherboard, but a 32bit CPU. It won't work on my computer. I built the entire computer. :/ [05:02] Jeruvy, did u every try remote desktop access with ubuntu? [05:03] Billiard, and how to use? [05:03] Agrajag-: it should be on your machine already [05:03] How do you change the time the touchpad is disabled during+after a key press? [05:03] brandenstone: you are using single core processor? [05:03] Yes. [05:03] is this known? [05:03] freaky[t]: then it sounds like the condition is not valid since it's not being met. [05:03] brandenstone: do you have a KVM? [05:03] Billiard: i can assure you it is not [05:03] Jeruvy, do u want remote desktop access to show me how? [05:03] i tried to search lp but i'm on my phone... [05:03] Hey I hate to be a bummer to always come here with problems lol :P But the regular laptop speaker output on the sound preferences dialog is gone and will only go out through the HDMI port... Is there anyway this can be fixed? [05:03] A Comp sci degree does not give you the knowledge to service a computer [05:03] Voss: are you james? [05:04] Agrajag-: what happens when you type libnotif and hit tab twice [05:04] No im not James [05:04] I love quad core. My amd phenom black edition processes so smoothly and fast it's like sex when you turn it on [05:04] Bookman: read the man page "man sshfs" [05:04] BDOTH: sure [05:04] Billiard: nothing [05:04] nullr1: Pentium 570J 3.8GHz CPU. [05:04] Bdoth, which means you really need to get laid [05:04] How do you change the time the touchpad is disabled during+after a key press? [05:04] freaky[t]: Filters work, so if it's not catching anything then the conditions are not valid. [05:04] Billiard: if you have it on your machine, can you run dpkg -S `which libnotify-bin` and tell me what it gives you? [05:05] Voss, I know that all too well. My girl wont give it up but once a week. [05:05] Agrajag-: its not on the machine im currently on, try installing libnotify-bin [05:05] Billiard: already installed [05:05] brandenstone: do you use a KVM switch? [05:05] Ok, all of this for a ridiculously simple solution. Use Nautilus. Go to Network, find the .iso on the remote machine. Open with other application>VLC [05:05] How easy is that? [05:05] bdoth, if u can get laid once a week consider yourself a fortunate man. [05:05] BDOTH, please stay on topic and family friendly [05:06] BDOTH: maybe you are doing it wrong? [05:06] nullr1: I'm not sure. I'm thinking I don't. Why? Would that explain it? [05:06] Voss, stop that [05:06] Agrajag-: karmic? [05:06] Sorry [05:06] Billiard: the only thing libnotify-bin provides in /usr/bin is notify-send [05:06] Billiard: yes [05:06] Nobody knows how to change the time the touchpad is disabled during+after a key press or even know where touchpad settings are? [05:06] Bazhang, least I'm not using adult language. [05:06] brandenstone: a switch which allows you to connect 2 computer and only use 1 mouse, keyboard and monitor just hit a button to switch between the 2 [05:06] server irc.rizon.net [05:07] ____ your adult language I need help :( [05:07] KVM switch can come in many configs... i have an 8 port KVM [05:07] you dont need to use adult language, just use blanks :P [05:07] are acpi scripts located in /etc/acpi/ run as root? [05:07] Well Denis, ask the question. See what happens. [05:07] __________________________________________blank ;) [05:07] nullr1: Does that matter on a multiboot system? It's on a separate HDD and is not in a virtual machine. [05:08] hello, I have a link to a windows folder on my ubuntu desktop, its appears with an X, it says the link is broken..should be moved to trash, but it works once I open the C drive in My computer and enter my password [05:08] Jeruvy, ok thank you [05:08] So someone deleted part of a samba install. And now sudo apt-get install samba now says that packages are up to date but says it cannot configure things. :( [05:08] ive asked like 3 times [05:08] so im guessing nobody knows [05:08] how do i make so the link always works [05:08] brandenstone: no but are you keyboard and mouse directly connected to your computer? [05:08] denis_k, have you looked under system>pref>mouse>keyboard settings? [05:08] ask again denis [05:08] rogertemp1, have the filesystem mount at boot [05:08] nullr1: Yes. Why would that matter? [05:08] brandenstone: with no hub or anything in between [05:09] Agrajag-: try typing notif and tib tab twice [05:09] Agrajag-: hit tab* [05:09] Hey T0rc, try using synapic package manager to locate it, remove it and then reinstall it. [05:09] brandenstone: there have been problems with kvm switches not being supported [05:09] Techie_, i have no idea how to do this [05:09] Billiard: notification-preferences? [05:09] nullr1: It's connected directly to my computer. [05:09] it has a Theme, and Position, neither of which are adhered to [05:09] wabz: could be called that [05:09] Billiard: that gives me notification-properties (which i've already said doesn't do anything) and notify-send [05:09] are acpi scripts located in /etc/acpi/ run as root? [05:10] oldude67: theres a setting but you can't modify the time for it, which is useless [05:10] nullr1: I don't have an external switch. [05:10] How do you change the time the touchpad is disabled during+after a key press? [05:10] Agrajag-: it sets the position of them for me, and it works [05:10] Billiard: notification-properties doesn't actually change them, there is already a bug regarding this, apparently it is deprecated [05:10] BDOTH, its server version, can I do that from command line? [05:10] Billiard, please take note of my solution for the future. So easy. [05:10] Agrajag-: idk works for me, sorry [05:10] nullr1: The problem is related to the windows not functioning correctly too and not just the mouse. The keyboard works fine. :/ [05:11] I upgraded a computer from Vista to win 7 tonight, it had an interesting feature. Instead of upgrading the existing folder, it renamed the existing to folder to folder.old and did a fresh install. [05:11] hello All. Am trying to make my desktop look good by installing compiz. When I do compiz --replace in terminal.. I dont see any prog coming up.. can someone help me with that? [05:11] t0rc, yes you can. if you know the name of the package, just do sudo apt what not like you would install it but instead write remove [05:11] then install again after it's done.' [05:11] Billiard: i think you are mistaken, i have 3 9.10 boxes, on all of them it does nothing, and there is a bug on launchpad where everyone also says it does nothing [05:11] Voss: thats what it does [05:12] Chaitu: No program should come up. Try moving windows and you should see some effects. [05:12] brandenstone: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:12] nullr1: Can I get a better scan of my system or controller? Install something that will override the old settings to a personal preference? [05:12] Agrajag-: idk i installed from the alternate cd, pretty much all i installed is gnome and firefox, and my notifications show in the bottom right [05:12] nullr1: in terminal? [05:12] lol, every time I screwed up xserver config, reconfiguring it never did me any good. [05:12] leaf-sheep, : I dont see any change in the way my screen looks or it functions [05:12] BDOTH, hmmm..... will try [05:13] brandenstone: did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg do anything? [05:13] whats the command to check if a program is running (more specifically a daemon)? [05:13] I installed the ubuntu server edition, and it's working excellent, except the Emacs font is horrible. any clues on which package to install to get some more fonts? [05:13] i installed a custom kernel, but my netbook is still booting the generic. how do i fix that (on karmic NBR) [05:13] Chaitu: Perhaps you don't have the supported card. Perhaps it's not toggled on. Did you check Hardware Drivers? How about Visual Effects tab under Appearances? [05:13] ps - is a good way to see what's running. Also: top , will show a realtime view of what's running [05:13] It took the command, but I'm not sure if it did anything. [05:13] Denis, you want the command or can you use the process manager? [05:14] command [05:14] denis_k: for the services you can usually do "service servicename status" [05:14] thanks [05:14] leaf-sheep, : Let me check visual effects. Last time I checked I did not have any visual effects tab in appreances [05:14] Billiard beat me too it. my typing speed has failed me. [05:14] brandenstone: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop --reinstall should reinstall it maybe that is what you are looking for? [05:14] * simon uses xfontsel to find a good font. [05:14] denis_k: or /etc/inti.d/ status [05:14] usually [05:14] billiar: bah its not a service, daemons are considered services right? [05:15] Techie_, how do i mount the filesystem on boot [05:15] billiard* :P my bad [05:15] denis_k: it should work for things in /etc/init.d [05:15] daemons are equiv. to what Windows calls "services" , yes. [05:15] oh, well, i guess i dont have that daemon... [05:16] org [05:16] nullr1: That didn't work. [05:16] denis_k: just type the first few letters and hit tab [05:16] ok here's what I see under appearance : style , color , icons, themes, fonts, windows, gtk+ appreance, splash screen and emotions [05:16] so whats with wired and wireless connectivity completely cutting out at random in 64 bit karmic? [05:16] denis_k: which daemon [05:16] brandenstone: the reconfig or the reinstall? [05:16] I don't see visual effects tab at all [05:16] nullr1: It says I already have the latest version. [05:16] syndaemon [05:16] Chaitu: What are you using? [05:16] Kubuntu leaf-sheep [05:17] billiard: i used it in 9.04 to disable the touchpad when typing, but I want to change the time it disables it [05:17] its not long enough at the moment [05:17] i am trying to connect to my ubuntu server via ssh but it is saying port 22 refused? [05:17] nullr1: neither of those worked... just install. [05:17] interesting... I've pinned my system to give me the lucid kernel and pulseaudio, but Karmic everything-else. [05:17] denis_k: maybe try to install it i have never used it [05:18] is sshd up and running on it? (may have to physically connect). Either server\local WS blocking port 22? [05:18] OH WHATS THIS PILE OF CRUD? Where did my precious pidgin Im go on ubuntu? Now there is some other program I cannot pronounce! [05:18] Chaitu: Ah. I see. Not something I would know what to do. I did use it for few hours. I recall it was under Settings -- You have to find out and enable. Also, Hardware Drivers -- Drivers should be toggled. It's similar -- but a tad different. ;o [05:18] well ubuntu already stops my touch pad when typing, so i dont want to install something extra for nothing [05:18] hye... [05:18] i'm linux newbies [05:19] i'm using xubuntu [05:19] omg, you're all the newbies in one person?! [05:19] just kidding [05:19] thatd be alot of people [05:19] you have to ad pidgin from software Center download Bdoth [05:19] hazda, you mean you are the collective conciseness of all newbies to Linux? [05:19] lol [05:19] Thanks leaf-sheep. will try to find it [05:19] I saw that but why did they change it from the default install? I mean common, why fix if it's not broken [05:19] hehe no idea [05:19] * denis_k joins hazda [05:20] nullr1: Like I said, this problem is impossible to figure out. :'( [05:20] are there problems with network manager and openvpn? I have to log in from command line [05:20] i just install xubuntu today [05:20] using ubuntu as a guest in virtualbox, i cant get it to detect my external HDD through the usb attaching thing, any idea why ? [05:20] johnjohn101: what happens when you try to use NM [05:20] how do i make the custom kernel the default in karmic netbook remix? [05:20] Good for you hazda [05:20] how to open my fat32 partition? [05:21] x.x [05:21] jbnet it fails immediatelyu [05:21] Billiard do you have the guest additions installed [05:21] brandenstone: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:21] infid: wrong person lol [05:21] whre i keep my data before [05:21] brandenstone: pastebin.com that and post the link here [05:21] nvme: #vbox [05:21] s/billiard/nvme [05:21] johnjohn101: what do u mean? [05:21] Someone tell hazda how to mount a fat32 partition, I don't remember it off hand [05:21] !mount | hazda [05:21] hazda: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [05:22] hazda: can you no access it from the places menu? [05:22] no [05:22] anyone know which gemail checker gets used by the messenging menu? [05:22] hazda: open a terml .. [05:22] gmail* [05:22] i try ubuntu before..it shown on place [05:22] hazda: open ? [05:22] hazda: do you have a places menu on xubuntu? [05:23] yes [05:23] hazda: sudo fdisk -l [05:23] !who | hazda [05:23] !who | hazda [05:23] hazda: 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 :) [05:23] hehe [05:23] does ubuntu have a firewall running by default? [05:23] smart bot lol [05:23] jbnet, I imported a .ovpn file that works. It loads the keys correctly. I click on the vpn name and it throws the black box that said fails [05:23] anyone know which gmail checker gets used by the messenging menu? [05:23] Now hold on a second. I created my own partition and Ubuntu can see it, it just doesn't know how to open it. How can a Fat32, an already well known and very old partition format, be not detected in the Places menu? [05:23] !ufw | smacnay [05:23] smacnay: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [05:23] nullr1: How does that work? [05:23] sory [05:23] I cannot seem to access the rdp port on an ubuntu server even though vino is set up to accept [05:23] * brandenstone is confused. [05:24] thanks [05:24] dasei: ok i open terminal [05:24] what controls my touchpad? [05:24] hazda: sudo fdisk -l [05:24] anyone know which gmail checker gets used by the messenging menu?

Is there anyway this can be fixed?

[07:11] courpse: yes but first do one thing, run the app from terminal [07:11] almoxarife, its old, but its still avg for a *nix box. [07:11] indus, Yeah, did this, and get random segment faults.

[07:13] no [07:13] yeah, i though that could take hours. [07:13] Allrighty. [07:13] is usplash or whatever 9.10 is using now buggy for people here? [07:13] bbs with a verdict. [07:13] cdinz: ( I'm reading through all the comments on that bug report ) If your modem worked in a previous version of Ubuntu ( or any distro ) it looks like this can be "fixed" for any version of Huawei by removing support for the USB mass storage part of the device from the kernel [07:13] ronald : down'ed it ? [07:13] Xchat is acturally lasted quite long this time. [07:14] exodus_ms : how must i do [07:14] for that link [07:14] ronald : still down., [07:14] courpse, It's not supposed to die.... [07:14] DasEi: still down., [07:14] courpse: how much does xchat take anyway, try running a game [07:14] cdinz: So if nothing else works I can help you build such a kernel ( though it would have to be tomorrow since it's getting late where I am ) [07:15] DasEi: after i download this? what is the next step? [07:15] indus, Doesnt use much i'd assume, but if it hits the bad clusters in the ram stick, that could fall over too. [07:15] XVampireX, Whats not surpose to die? [07:15] courpse: true, maybe xchat founda cozy place somewhere [07:15] "Xchat is acturally lasted quite long this time." [07:15] MYOB in virtual machine, vbox ose. trouble opening myo files...anyone? [07:15] Heh, it does die. [07:15] Frequently. [07:15] xchat is hogging the resource? [07:15] resources [07:15] Naw, nothing seems to be hogging. [07:16] frull, read, if it relates. There seems to be some bug reports filed there as well that you cold click and follow [07:16] reinstall xchat >_< [07:16] As indus said, its prob bad ram, and just co-inky dinky xchat loaded up in that section of ram.

[07:34] Valentina; my mind is running well. [07:34] how ? [07:34] mform, the only .run file i've ever used was the nvidia installer from nvidia's website, and you have to drop to terminal to run that one, so i never figured out how to run them from the gui. running the program from command line should work, though [07:34] indus how ? [07:34] DasEi: if the cd wont boot, how will he search the logs?? [07:34] - when i right-click theres no option to execute [07:34] DasEi: it aint easy [07:34] indus: cd ? did I miss sth ?

[07:37] mform, sorry i don't know how to do it through the gui. i try to avoid giving instructions in terminal-ese geek speak if possible, but i don't use xubuntu, so i'm not sure how the gui way would work [07:37] nvme : use fsdk [07:37] this is a dj chat [07:37] ubuntu : need hlep [07:38] not need to program [07:38] indus: I've poured over the logs for a while.

The errors in the launchpad were pretty much exactly what my logs were saying 3 days ago [07:40] yax [07:40] I found a way to run Microsoft Silverlight in firefox.

Youtube is terribly slow for me on ubuntu 9.10 [07:45] ronald : did you call the given link ? [07:45] nvme: maybe something wrote over the system files [07:45] nvme: difficult to say, windows 7 is new :) [07:45] for the rest, it sounds like you're missing some video codecs. Not sure what ubuntu uses these days (it used to be ffmpeg and similar) [07:45] nvme: did you ask in ##windows? [07:46] BDOTH: there may be a linux live cd which starts up with a ssh server by default for connecting to and running commands [07:46] joerack, having the same problem you are with my Dads computer. Firefox loads web pages and youtube a lot slower then before. [07:46] Whenever I make a Live USB stick ubuntu, and then update it, it stops working next time I try and use it.

[07:46] BDOTH, can it be the video driver? [07:46] indus: no it can see it, but it says its corrupt or damaged [07:46] DasEi: i open the link [07:46] whereas im in linux now and the partition is fine i can read and write files [07:46] even chkdsk finds no errors [07:46] nvme: ok try testdisk to repair [07:46] nvme: sudo apt-get install testdisk [07:47] nvme: it checks for partition errors [07:47] ronald: so follow these steps, you got the latest alsa already on your desk [07:47] Can somebody tell me some sentences about software-techniques, especially Ubuntu/Linux?

More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [07:47] I'm downloading ubuntu 9.10 at dialup speed [07:47] Rods_Tiger: That's because the USB installs that the USB creator makes aren't real installs, they are basically a dump of the liveCD and even with persistence certain things like the kernel can never be upgraded [07:48] can I hear a w00p [07:48] joerack, no it's not the video driver. The new version of Ubuntu consumes more resources then the previous one. It can make single core processors lag a bit. I've narrowed that much down. Also Firefox 3.6 will come out soon in December that will put more speed back into it, so have some patience. [07:48] frull: you there? [07:48] dedication [07:48] frull: ibm t 40? [07:48] how many cd's does it take to copy ubuntu 9.10? [07:48] jordanu - so why does it update things it shouldn't update? [07:48] Hmmmm? Why does Ubuntu have more lag in it? [07:48] Balsaq: 1 cd [07:48] Rods_Tiger: If you want a real install on a USB drive, and you have enough space, just do a regular install and make sure that grub gets installed to the USB drive instead of your internal drive [07:48] aha [07:48] I am preparing a presentation about Extreme Programming and would like to know whether this is used for Linux? [07:48] these are only 700mb? [07:49] Balsaq: yes [07:49] tiox: poor config or poor choice of desktop for the system [07:49] "extreme" programming? [07:49] ok thanks indus [07:49] Rods_Tiger: so space shouldn't be the issue, usb creator >> too less space for the system /too big home maybe ? pendrivelinux does well for persistent, changing installs [07:49] (taking a laptop with you while snowboarding?) [07:49] or Agile Programming [07:49] Balsaq: its around 693 mb [07:49] the main aspect is to work iteratively [07:49] indus have never burned a cd, will try now, have a cd burner and just installed some cd burn software [07:49] Balsaq: burn at slow speed like 8 x [07:49] Is it possible to easily convert Windows apps to Linux apps if they are programmed in Python? [07:49] Rods_Tiger: Because as far as it can tell it has a read write file system, but that's really a trick. It's only a read only file system + a read write file system that carries "differences" from the read only file system [07:50] indus, whew thats cutting it close [07:50] Balsaq: md5 test the iso before burning [07:50] Balsaq: also, burn as an image cd [07:50] dasei, jordanu, it did ask me questions about grub in the update procedure, and I didn't know what to answer because it didn't tell me which to choose, so I left the options open [07:50] Of course. [07:50] Rods_Tiger: The differences are overlaid on top of the read only file system and everything behaves as if you have a read write file system [07:50] indus: i cant find it :P [07:50] Balsaq: not data or anything, sofware will have option burn as image [07:50] aha [07:50] Something like InfraRecorder should do the trick. [07:50] indus, ok 8 speed, test 1st, do image [07:50] Actions > Burn Image [07:50] burn as image [07:50] what does unable to copy PPD file get? [07:50] i was told choose "boot" [07:51] Balsaq: also burn the iso direct as image, dont extract it or do anything with it [07:51] hello, the new ubuntu logo splash has i nice pulse effect if i boot from a live CD, however, if i install the system, the logo doesnt pulse anymore.... [07:51] Rods_Tiger: my usb did fine by always newest/maintainer version [07:51] 0000001 [07:51] oops [07:51] why is it? [07:51] Rods_Tiger: The problem is that it's the kernel that sets this up and does the overlay, so by definition a kernel installed to the overlay cannot be booted [07:51] jordanu, so I could just install to the usb stick as if it were a hard drive, and it'll boot on any computer? [07:51] indus hang on i need to write it down [07:51] forget the zeros and the one, I dropped my keyboard. [07:51] Rods_Tiger: Yes [07:51] boritek_: try reinstalling xsplash [07:51] Balsaq: nothing to write, just take the downloaded iso and burn as an image disk [07:51] I'd prefer that. Last time I tried that a long while ago it only ever booted on the machine I made it on so I gave up [07:52] Rods_Tiger: Just make sure that Grub gets installed to the USB drive instead of your hard drive ( the default is your hard drive and the option is hidden ) [07:52] Balsaq: why does lpadmin give me "unable to copy PPD file" when I try to add a printer? [07:52] aha - that's the problem then [07:52] ActionParsnip: ok, tx, i will try that. Although it was a hot new fresh install [07:52] I wonder, is there any way to modify the splash screen? [07:52] boritek_: its worth a shot [07:52] yup [07:52] Is there a GUI for that? Or must I write the path? [07:52] Balsaq: what is a PPD file, and which is the right one for HP laser jet 1320 [07:52] boritek_: are you fully updated? [07:53] ActionParsnip: yes [07:53] boritek_: cool [07:53] I've noticed that there are no programs like Paltalk or Inspeak for Linux. I wonder why voice chat programs are non existent. [07:53] and all repos are enabled [07:53] Repeating my question: Is there a particular set of requirements to be able to successfully use Gnome's composite manager? On one of my machines, if I turn it on, I start getting blank windows, no title bars, some apps won't take focus, etc. This same machine seems to have no trouble under XFCE. [07:53] BDOTH: you can use skype or pidgin or ekiga [07:54] VanessaE: have you configured video drivers? [07:54] Pidgin has no voice to my knowledge. [07:54] BDOTH: Or empathy ( which comes pre installed with Ubuntu ) [07:54] tiox: the new one does [07:54] Unless there is a way to add voice AND camera functionality.. [07:54] Oh? [07:54] ActionParsnip, Yep. Nvidia GF4 using the 96-series driver. [07:54] ActionParsnip: have you got a second in #ubuntu-offtopic ? [07:54] EDESU i am a certified non tech but you need to get the right drivers [07:54] tiox: pidgin and empathy both have voice and video support [07:54] 128MB on the card, btw. [07:54] DasEi: sure [07:54] skype and ekiga are telephone programs, not chat room programs. And I hate empathy, also pidgin doesn't offer voice chat rooms. [07:54] hello [07:54] You're shitting me... I gotta find this. [07:55] tiox, watch your language [07:55] BDOTH: gyachi for yahoo? [07:55] tiox: look into the old Gaim-VV project [07:55] and check into Kopete [07:55] Balsaq: does cups allready have them, or do I have to download them and if i do, how do you download them on a command line [07:55] Rods_Tiger: The option for where to install grub is on the screen where you get an overview of what partitions will be formatted ( *after* the partition selection screen ) it's a button at the bottom labeled only "advanced" [07:55] Okay. [07:55] is there a way to use a dv camcorder as a video4linux device? [07:55] gyachi doesn't work anymore. They haven't updated it in 2 years. [07:55] <_-XPERT-_> Hi all [07:56] I see - I'll look out for that. Ta. [07:56] <_-XPERT-_> Just upgraded to Keramic on my HP machine and have got a Xorg problem 100% CPU usage [07:56] EDESU there are others here who help me, i don't have enough experience yet...newbie...however i tried all the drivers avaialable in ubuntu [07:56] tiox: voice and video are only for jabber and msn as far i know [07:56] <_-XPERT-_> Anyone here seen this before? [07:56] EDESU eventually i got my hp printing by trial and error-kept trying different drivers in the add printer area [07:57] Awww. [07:57] and your contact has to have video and/or mic to be able to call [07:57] And here my hopes were up. Darn. [07:57] EDESU no driver actually looked perfect-so i tried many that looked close [07:57] _-XPERT-_, yeah similar problems with my dads HP at the moment. it's a Compaq version of an HP computer and it has a 100% CPU problem too. It's an older 2.8 ghz celeron single core from a decade ago [07:57] EDESU but i did see some that said HP in there [07:57] indus: okay i have testdisk running what now ? should i re-write the partition table ? [07:58] tiox: the main problem is getting the various companies (Yahoo!, ICQ, etc) to open up their video/voice protocols (where they exist at all) [07:58] <_-XPERT-_> BDOTH: And got a solution? Or do i need to search for one? [07:58] nvme: :) [07:58] nvme: do at your own risk [07:58] What ever happened to EDUBUNTU? [07:58] EDESU i tried the same technique on a really ols epson laser and could not make it work right,,,but my newer hp does print on ubuntu [07:58] Couldn't you guys just work off of Trillian? :/ [07:58] indus: well is that what you wanted me to try ? [07:58] nvme: did it show errors? [07:58] nvme: yeah testdisk [07:59] tiox: is trillian open source? (I've never looked at it) [07:59] indus: i dont know how to check for errors with it, its only giving me options to 'find lost partitions and rewrite table' [07:59] _-XPERT-_, There isn't a solution yet, I'm working on finding one right now. Has something to do with the kernel. [07:59] No, Trillian is closed source. [07:59] But open beta. [07:59] Trillian is so old that jesus used it. [07:59] And they're soon to be doing stuff for Linux I think. [07:59] :( [07:59] :( [08:00] <_-XPERT-_> BDOTH: I saw that some guys sugested to upgrade to 2.6.31 but it seems that the problem stille exists. [08:00] :'( [08:00] * VanessaE shrugs [08:00] _-XPERT-_, I noticed that too. It's a change that is for newer computers. If your machine is at least 3 years old, it will have this problem. [08:01] nvme: yea run it [08:01] _-XPERT-_, don't worry man, nobody has found a solution too it but I'm working on fixing it myself. When I find a fix for this, I'll make sure to announce it. [08:01] <_-XPERT-_> BDOTH: it is a bit newer but uses the I915 Chip and i read teh problem is in the Intell Video. The strange part is that my audio is also broken [08:01] indus : [08:01] indus ActionParsnip: OK...burn slow like 8x, md5 test before burn, burn as image-not data...don't extract or anything...do i have it? [08:01] indus :( === Sonderbla is now known as Sonderblade [08:01] indus the chat master hate me [08:01] is there a way to set /dev/raw1394 to have read/write permissions enabled by default every system startup? i don't want to always have to manually set /dev/raw1394 to a+rw every time want to record video [08:02] Balsaq: pretty much, rust right click te image and select open with and select your burning software, it will manage it [08:02] Oddhyena: add yourself to whatever group owns that device [08:02] _-XPERT-_, I'll have to dig one of those processors out of my box and give it a try. Thanks for telling me what chip it is, I can narrow down the problem faster by testing it on that one too. [08:02] SuBsAm: what [08:03] ActionParsnip ok thanks never burned anything...this will be interesting i am sure thanks a lot [08:03] the chAT MASTER HATE ME :( [08:03] <_-XPERT-_> BDOTH: I am searching and will report if i find a solution. [08:03] _-XPERT-_, I do need to know what revision that chip is? there is A, B, C, D, E revisions. Do you know what yours is? [08:03] if it's root, then make a new group, add yourself to that group, and then add a command to /etc/rc.local to chown the device entry [08:03] she said thet i'm stuped [08:03] Balsaq: no worries [08:03] re [08:04] VanessaE, i can't find the group for raw1394 or firewire [08:04] i have reinstalled xsplash, but the ubuntu logo still doesnt pulse at boot time [08:04] <_-XPERT-_> BDOTH: Will look at it let ya know [08:04] like by live cd [08:04] oddhyena, what group is it? ls -lad /dev/raw1394 [08:04] i go lunch [08:04] Dasei: how can i install the ALSA? because i con't install use the link you give to me. its always error [08:04] SuBsAm: what chat is that [08:04] SuBsAm: what subject [08:05] i asked the chat master [08:05] _-XPERT-_, ok thanks. Also if you can find out. Do you use Gnome, KDE, or X? [08:05] <_-XPERT-_> BDOTH: Hmm system wont tell m e wich one [08:05] VanessaE, the output was "crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 171, 0 2009-11-11 22:59 /dev/raw1394" [08:05] <_-XPERT-_> BDOTH: Hmm Gnome of course :-) [08:05] about the kind of java that the chat use [08:05] ronald: where are you stuck ? [08:05] SuBsAm: there is another plugin maybe you try that, its called gcj-web-plugin [08:05] !gcj [08:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about gcj [08:06] she can't speak english well and she was busy with another guy [08:06] she hate me [08:06] Gnome is my favorite, ok _-XPERT-_, do you know how to access the gnome process manager? Look up what process or demon that uses the most CPU resources. [08:06] :( [08:06] DasEi: i use this linkhttp://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Quick_Install [08:06] brb... [08:06] VanessaE, do I have to set myself as root? is that a security issue? [08:06] BDOTH: ps -ef [08:06] Oh yes! How would I get there? [08:07] oddhyena, no [08:07] ronald: ls ~/Desktop/alsa* [08:07] !info gnome-process-manager [08:07] Package gnome-process-manager does not exist in karmic [08:07] ronald: your packed alsa there ? [08:07] rather, you need to create a new group, say, "rawfire". groupadd rawfire [08:07] yes [08:07] then add yourself to it: usermod -a -G rawfire yourname [08:07] ronald: sudo mkdir /usr/src/alsa [08:08] then add a line to /etc/rc.local to force the ownership of the file: chmod root:rawfire /etc/raw1394 [08:08] DasEi: ls ~/Desktop/alsa* [08:08] /home/ronald/Desktop/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc4a.tar.bz2 [08:08] Hello how do I know JAVA_HOME please ? [08:08] where can i find it ? [08:08] indus whare can i find it ? [08:08] _-XPERT-_, should be under the system menu under administrative [08:08] !lo [08:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about lo [08:08] ronald: sudo mkdir /usr/src/alsa [08:08] q [08:09] sudo bring me a beer [08:09] ronald: sudo cp ~/Desktop/alsa* /usr/src/alsa [08:09] DasEi: sudo mkdir /usr/src/alsa [08:09] mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/src/alsa': File exists [08:09] No... [08:09] oddhyena, after that, run that chmod command at a terminal also (as root) and then log out and back in. [08:09] michael: Please stay on topic. Thanks [08:09] sudo apt-get beer [08:09] verify that you're in the group: id yourname [08:09] ronald : fine, copy tarball over [08:09] !beer [08:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about beer [08:09] It would be sudo fridge install 6pack [08:09] ok [08:09] oddhyena, finally, chmod 775 /dev/raw1394 [08:09] THEN sudo beer. :P [08:09] (and add that command right after the chown command in rc.local) [08:10] DasEi: then next? [08:10] does anybody know where could the famous Ubuntu Sax.ogg song be downloaded? [08:10] Did you know if you search the synaptic page manager for beer you will get a program named "anymeal"? Kinda funny [08:10] i mean the full version!!! [08:10] ronald: cd /usr/src/alsa [08:10] oddhyena, clear as mud? ;) [08:10] guys, i've checked my /etc/networks/interfaces file and found that it uses lo interface which i don't know what.

Every ISP / Internet Service Provider needs to register it's IP through ARIN and this is how people know where you are from [08:41] mike99 how u know this infos ?

[08:44] SuBsAm, but you have an IP address and when typing whois $IP on command line you can tell the company which owns the IP address [08:45] bastl: or check the location of the file is part of PATH [08:45] in treminal ?

[08:51] i think i'm gonna say bye :( [08:51] Balsaq: ive not used it, if you open the iso with the app it should realise its an ISO and act accordingly [08:52] RONY: this isnt a general chat channel, you can just ask a question here, or go to #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat [08:52] Balsaq: no, that will add some alien boot stuff to the disk, the iso is already bootable so doesnt need any interference [08:52] $ whois the ip ?

[12:16] I mean i open the window of "NetWork connections" , [12:16] Bomer84, check upu UFW. before going directly to ipfingers [12:16] boomer84: "firewall"? why? if there's nothing listening, nothing can come in [12:16] http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/download.php What do I download there? [12:16] knoxville: use a ftp client like firefox, nautilus, filezilla [12:16] knoxville: use an ftp client or web browser and browse to ftp://username@servername [12:16] It's simpleer to operate [12:16] ESEDU - try cd /media [12:16] http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/download.php What do I download there(for use in linux)? [12:17] Buzzard: sudo apt-get install evince [12:17] in the window , the tab "wireless" how to set up "ssid" ,"bssid", mac address and MTU [12:17] cdrom cdrom0 floppy floppy0 [12:17] the flash player sometimes doesnt respond, it just plays the video -doesnt pause, doesnt play on full screen or anything else- and at times it plays perfectly [12:17] knoxville: you can use ftp clients like gftp or filezilla to connect and simply fill out the connection info and it will connect [12:17] Though I wish there was something as simlpe as ZoneAarm [12:17] alarm [12:17] BDOTH: I'm in Australia and no problems with Mightyfax and computer faxing. I read the article you referred me to. Thnkx. But there is no mention of "Winmodem". I have tried 'Martian drivers' to no avail so cannot use them. [12:17] Younder: for what?

[12:17] Younder: "sudo apt-get install snake-oil" scnr [12:17] i dont get it [12:17] ^^ [12:18] Younder: ufw, also you dont need a (personal) firewall on linux [12:18] * Buzzard goes off to read his ubuntu for dummies [12:18] chu: cdrom cdrom0 floppy floppy0 [12:18] Yeah, I don't know... Mine is always in /mnt [12:18] hi,i have a question,is there a best qq soft for ubuntu? i like EVA,but it's not stable. [12:18] iceroot, no? [12:18] Younder: for what? [12:18] chu: by what name? [12:18] !flash [12:18] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [12:18] iceroot, for worm attacks.. [12:18] Younder: on linux? [12:18] The upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 how big is it "as an upgrade" to download [12:19] Younder: there are no worms, viruses, trojans and so on [12:19] llutz: because I want a firewall anyway ;-) [12:19] ibmx6, what about web qq [12:19] Younder: this is not windows .) [12:19] today EVA cant link to internet [12:19] Hey, it's actually in /media [12:19] musty_: depends on how many packages you have installed, if you have every single package available installed on your system it will take greatly longer than a system with only a desktop and firefox on, won't it [12:19] boomer84: additional (pointless) software makes systems less safe [12:19] iceroot, yes, on linux. Just because you dont have as many viruses doesn't mean tat people aren't hacking your macine. [12:20] Anyway, I have it dual partitioned, so it's going to be different to what yours is called anyway [12:20] Younder: you dont need a firewall [12:20] iceroot, they are and they do get in. So prepare [12:20] llutz: I live on the road so I connect constantly using different unsecured wifi connections [12:20] musty_: with a standard system youwill pull down about 500Mb (ish) but again this can vary [12:20] chu: could it be that "floppy"? [12:20] iceroot, that is simmply untrue [12:20] I would hve though a floppy is a floppy, but maybe? [12:20] no its not [12:20] ActionParsnip, meh, thanks. [12:20] boomer84: vpn is your friend, not pointless software [12:20] its not here :( [12:21] Younder: yes but you dont need a firewall, you have to configure your daemons correctly [12:21] I just installed a fresh copy of 9.10, i am tryin to make my gnome menus transparent, i have class=gnome-panel & (type=Menu | Tooltip | PopupMenu | DropDownMenu) in the opacify plugin for CompizConfig Settings Manager [12:21] Greetings All. I've installed compiz but don't see any effects happening, Can anyone please help me? [12:21] Prompt where to find please people from city Fribourg [12:21] iceroot the flash player sometimes doesnt respond, it just plays the video -doesnt pause, doesnt play on full screen or anything else- and at times it plays perfectly [12:21] Chaitu: you need to run: compiz --replace use the alt+f2 dialogue [12:21] x_: amd64? [12:21] ooypp,webqq is good ,but i like client [12:22] Chaitu: if it doesnt work, run it from terminal and you can see whats up [12:22] ActionParsnip hey dude what up [12:22] chaitu right click on the desktop and click on change desktop back ground [12:22] I understand that command but what's alt+f2 ActionParsnip ? [12:22] iceroot yes [12:22] Chaitu: you need to have 3D accelleration [12:22] iceroot, a firewall stealches the ports to the can't so easelly use exploits. Are you sure you know ALL exploits on your deamond? [12:22] I have 3D for sure [12:22] llutz: I have a VPN I can use but it is in the UK and I am in Malaysia. It is not the fastest. Also I don't think I understand why a VPN would be a security measure [12:22] x_: ask ActionParsnip about flash 64 bit and your problems, he had a good solutions some weeks ago for me [12:22] Chaitu: its a key combination, on the keyboard. press and hold alt then press f2 [12:22] hi, i've tried to install the prop ati drivers (fgrlx) and failed miserably (probably because 9.10 drivers don't support my R850 chipset)... now i wonder... is there a way to convert back to the old "default" drivers (I'm using karmic) [12:22] anyone what does ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata contain? [12:23] is it safe to delete it's contents [12:23] ActionParsnip I have some problem with compiz as well, When i shut down the ubuntu, it says "The screen is not composited" [12:23] Younder: on linux only ports are opened where a daemon is running, the rest is closed. try nmap to see it [12:23] anyone know how to get rid of the duplicate entries in the Places menu in Nautilus? [12:23] iceroot, are there services you weren't aware you were running? [12:23] i have 2 sshfs entries in fstab and they get doubled up once mounted [12:23] What does it mean when it says "The screen is not composited" during the shutdown? what is the soln? [12:23] actionparship the flash player sometimes doesnt respond, it just plays the video -doesnt pause, doesnt play on full screen or anything else- and at times it plays perfectly [12:23] Younder: what for e.g.? [12:23] mrXX: not sure, ask in #compiz [12:24] ActionParsnip, : When i typed that command my screen flickered and nothing else happened [12:24] Younder: should i block my apache or my mail-server? they need to be reached from outside === cprevoe is now known as Nith [12:24] iceroot, try looking at the ipfingers website [12:24] Chaitu: then run the command from terminal, see whats up [12:24] x_: firstly uninstall ALL flashes, like gnash or swfdec of flashplugin-nonfree etc [12:24] ActionParsnip, : I did that -- replace command in terminal [12:24] boomer84: because nothing connectable should listen on your external address, all traffic is tunneled through vpn [12:24] iceroot, no, just log === cha_cha is now known as manado-co-for-co [12:25] x_: if you provide a pastebin of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf I can add that to the big command I'm gonna give you [12:25] Younder: feel free to use iptbales, i dont need something like that because its not needed [12:25] Chaitu: have you configured video drivers? [12:25] if someone has a problem with tx2000 (laptop) and overheating, FYI adding acpi_osi=Linux to the grub helps. I just tested to hd videos + few flash videos + games without actually crashing due overheating. [12:25] yes ActionParsnip [12:25] action parsnip .. from synaptic?

[12:25] x_: no in terminal, run that command then use the pastebin to give the output [12:25] iceroot, iptables is indeed overkill, UFW is not! [12:26] Chaitu: then run: ccsm and add plugins and extras, see if they come to life [12:26] Younder: ufw is using iptables :) [12:26] whats the command again to refresh the panel/menu entries? [12:26] an app isnt appearing in menu [12:26] Chaitu: i dont use compiz but i can logically get you to test it [12:26] Karmic has iptables running by default right? [12:26] ActionParsnip, : am sorry am new to this. Are you asking me to run ccsm as a command in terminal? [12:26] Younder: ufw - program for managing a netfilter firewall so what do you think it uses? [12:26] anyone what does ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata contain? [12:26] iceroot, under the hood, the point is it is simpler to set up and somewhat less powerful for it. [12:26] is it safe to delete it's contents [12:27] Chaitu: in alt+f2 if you wish, it achieves the same end [12:27] Younder: and now letrs stop this discussion. a firewall is not needed, if you need one, feel free to use ufw, iptbales or something else [12:27] boomer84: it has [12:27] great.. I see compiz config popping up... I checked everything or most of it...how do I test it now? [12:28] x_: run the command, it will give output, copy it with mouse and paste to the pastebin, add yor name and click paste. When the page changes, copy the address and paste in here [12:28] cool ty. Guess that is all the protection I really need. [12:28] actionparsnip iwhat s pastpin [12:28] iceroot, it's like locking your door when you leave. You do it or you live with the consequences, when a intruder appears..

Look at the website www.prank.org [12:29] Younder: both should be access from outside of course [12:30] Younder: should i block port 80 with the firewall? [12:30] iceroot, or www.antionline.org [12:30] x_: i can make it REAL easy if you like [12:30] Younder: please dont post links, post your opinion [12:31] iceroot, no, not if you are using it externally [12:31] did it work? [12:31] Younder: and for internal i am using a router/gateway [12:31] how to uninstall qcad completelly [12:31] Younder: mabye nat [12:31] i pasted the line and sent it there [12:31] x_: you didnt copy and paste the address in the address bar into the channel [12:31] :) [12:31] http://pastebin.com/m5655017e [12:32] iceroot, in order for you to understand the therat you must read up.

[12:34] Tricks: du [12:34] Tricks: use "df -sh" to figure out what drive" [12:34] Nith: it's more clever to close the door instead of building high fences around [12:34] x_: close all firefoxes (make sure they are all dead with ps -ef | grep -i fire) then rerun, you now have 64bit flash to match your 64bit ubuntu :) [12:35] llutz: true, but bugs leave windows open, and the fence stops people from crawling in before you find them [12:35] can any body can tell me how to upgrade ubuntu 9.4 to 9.10 by using .iso file [12:35] x_: thats how I install flash [12:35] ranjan: you can only do so using the alternate cd iso [12:35] ranjan: you need the laternative ISO [12:35] !upgrade > ranjan [12:35] ranjan, please see my private message [12:35] ok got the drive [12:36] Nith: wrong, it just increases complexness which decreases security [12:36] 57mb available [12:36] haha [12:36] http://pastebin.com/m148f95fe [12:36] hey [12:37] im trying to install ubuntu and i can get past the language selection but then my keyboard and mouse just stop working [12:37] help please : when i plug in an external hard drive (thru usb) it is automatically mounted but the system is read only filesystem.

I just need to know how to install something to the mbr on a usb drive [13:19] its not grub or lilo [13:19] Younder: How do you mean? I want to find out whatever a string contains a replacement character after encoding. [13:19] e3co: Err.. proper and CAREFULL use of the dd command then perhaps? [13:19] e3co, so what do you wanna install to your usb stick? [13:19] Younder: I want to find out if a string has got a replacement characters after I have encoded it. [13:19] !motu | ward- [13:19] ward-: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [13:19] thanx ActionParsnip [13:20] ward-: I have been trying to write a kernel I need a boot loader to start. That i have pieced together, but I don't know how to install to mbr. I will look at the dd command [13:20] man [13:20] thanks Dr_Willis [13:21] :s [13:21] e3co: your wants scream syslinuz to me [13:21] Nith: how so? [13:22] Valentina, sound a bit spesific. wanna move that one to say #python? [13:22] e3co: because it's small, and meant for booting a single kernel [13:22] e3co: it's used on most live usbs (and I think live cds too) [13:22] Nith: oh, no I really want to use the one I have been working on, thanks though [13:23] Its just goofy curiousity [13:23] of the boot loader or kernel? [13:23] Nith: both [13:24] ahh, ok; then I agree dd is the way to go [13:24] e3co: good luck [13:24] Nith: thanks [13:25] dd is VERY low level [13:25] Younder: +1 [13:26] I see of=/filename but nothing about mbr [13:26] does ubuntu still use the contents of /etc/network/interfaces? [13:26] when I change the settings in the GUI interface inside ubuntu, the contents of that file doesn't appear to change [13:26] what do i type into the terminal to get my wireless adaptor (Realtek RTL8192E Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC) to work? [13:27] how to see my ram-moduls? something 512mb, 512mb, 256mb so i can see how many moduls i have and the size. or how to get the real ram? free -m is giving mit 3294MB (what is 3294mb, 3GB = 3072) [13:27] Younder: Yeah, I don't really know where to begin, but I'll try python. [13:27] bradland: interfaces is used by ifupdown, your gui is networkmanager. different jobs [13:27] Hello ! [13:28] Valentina, good choice. I love Python [13:28] I have a problem with my Atheros wifi card [13:28] It seems that it is not on, butI can't power it up [13:28] Valentina, anyhow you need a programming lanuage [13:29] llutz: i see. so with a default ubuntu install, is there a file i can edit (through an SSH session) to control the networking config? i'm admining some laptops remotely, an i really don't like using VNC. i'd much rather just SSH, and I'm used to admining boxes which i've built using debian netinstall and built up from there. [13:29] Is there a way to check the card is active and if not to force it up ? [13:29] hello everyone! [13:29] ifconfig wlan0 up gives error 132, and echo "up" > /sys/class/net/wlan0/operstate gives permission denied (as root) [13:29] bradland: sorry no clue, i don't use/like networkmanager, but i doubt theres a file to edit [13:29] someone PLEASE help me sort out my Realtek wireless card :/ [13:29] i have a small feature requests, where can i submit it? [13:30] hi there cuong [13:30] hi Y [13:30] llutz: yeah, i can see why ;) thanks for the info. i'll do some reading on network manager. i wonder if it's possible to just remove it and revert to ifupdown [13:30] dd if=/dev/bootloader.bin of=mbr.bin bs=440 count=1 Something like this? [13:30] bradland: it is [13:31] bradland: even wifi can be configured via ifupdown, just needs a little bit more reading maybe [13:31] chuong: better to place them on the web site, my thinks [13:31] nevermind thats to back up existing mbr [13:32] can anybody help me out with fail2ban? it just does not start and leaves no log [13:32] How do i get my Realtek RTL8192E Wireless LAN to work? [13:32] llutz: fortunately, we won't need wifi on these machines. they're acting as "portable" server machines running wireshark and ntop. the client moves them from location to location based on where they are having network congestion issues. [13:32] is it possible to have no gnome panels at all I can't seem to get rid of the one at the top of my desktop [13:32] How do I find out, if my processor is a 64bit or 32 bit version, in ubuntu? [13:32] Lewis: you may have to use ndiswrapper [13:32] bradland: in that case, configuring network should be easy without nm [13:32] ActionParsnip: Could you talk me through getting that to make it work please? [13:32] Arabus1: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model then websearch the name for info [13:33] Lewis: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk [13:33] bradland: there are expample-configs in /usr/share/doc/ifupdown [13:33] Arabus1; you go into syetem> adminstration > System testng [13:33] bradland: just remove networkmanager [13:33] Lewis: then grab the windows driver that matches your ubuntu architecture (32bit or 64bit) and install using that gui [13:34] Koenigsegg, you into cars? [13:34] ActionParsnip: thanks I used lshw though it already told me that ithe cpu has a width of 32 bits [13:34] llutz: rockin'. you've given me some great leads. thank you so much. [13:34] Lewis: if you cant get any network access, you will need another ubuntu system, install the app then copy the debs to some removable media to put in the system to then install [13:34] bradland: np [13:35] I need to setup FTP access to an existing development server. What easy-to-configure FTP server do you recommend ?# [13:35] ActionParsnip: it said nothing about that? It asked me for my password, and then it said a bunch of stuff i don't understand :/ [13:35] Arabus1: aaah so it does, like it :D [13:35] dr4g: vsftpd [13:35] Lewis: its installing the package [13:35] Last I checked koningsegg was into swedish supercars. [13:35] vsftpd ok i will investigate [13:36] Lewis: if you have web access it will access the web to grab the package [13:36] damn so much easier to do this on Ubuntu than Fedora :) http://theblogosaurus.com/mac-flower-key-command-key-for-ubuntu/ [13:36] llutz, is there an apt-get package for it ? [13:36] Lewis: you can insert the cd you used to install the OS and install the version on there [13:36] dr4g: vsftpd [13:36] I had to use xmodmap on Fedora to get the remapping to work, glad to see this support in Ubuntu :) [13:36] Lewis: you will need the .inf and .sys file from the driver for the card [13:36] that said I prefer ncftp [13:36] Dr_Willis: dd if=/dev/usbdrive of=/home/r3l1c/MBRboot.bin bs=512 count=2 How about that? [13:37] llutz, looks like i already installed it :S [13:37] I used to use putty to coneckt tio my server, but since it crashes a lot on win 7 i seached for an alternative, i found tera term, someone has used that? [13:37] lol. [13:37] lol [13:37] e3co: count=1 [13:37] hmm why? [13:37] anyone know how to make the proprietary drivers become "available in the current data" in the software center? [13:37] AmokPaule, nop [13:37] who tell me where is #ubuntu-fr please ? [13:38] e3co: mbr = 512bytes [13:38] ActionParsnip: I'm really lost. I only have internet access right now because of the ethernet cable; im just trying to enable wireless. Why am i putting CD's in etc.? The last thing the terminal said was: Setting up ndiswrapper-common (1.53-2ubuntu1) ... [13:38] Setting up ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 (1.53-2ubuntu1) ... [13:38] Setting up ndisgtk (0.8.4-1) ... [13:38] and it hasn't said anything since. [13:38] Lewis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:38] AmokPaule: Why not run ubuntu server in Virtualbox? [13:38] tom05: type: /join #ubuntu-fr [13:38] tom05, Um... #ubuntu-fr [13:38] jockey ain't finding them after install and daddy needs 3d graphics [13:38] Lewis: thats fine, the application has installed. You have a lot to learn [13:38] ok thank [13:38] AmokPaule: For Windows applications, please ask in ##windows [13:38] llutz, any idea where the user password documentroot configuration lies ? [13:38] AmokPaule: yes tera term is ok [13:38] . /etc/vsftpd.conf is not the place. [13:38] Lewis: run: uname -a and paste the output here. This is ok as the output is only one line [13:39] I already enabled pretty much everything in software sources [13:39] dd if=/dev/usbdrive of=/home/r3l1c/MBRboot.image mbr=512 count=1 ? [13:39] dr4g: /etc/vsftp.... [13:39] Ok thanks all [13:39] llutz, tried that [13:39] dr4g, It doesn't it just doesn't tell you the whole truth [13:39] nothing but the .conf file [13:39] Lewis: you can copy / paste to ad from the terminal [13:39] e3co: /etc/vsftpd.conf [13:39] ActionParsinp: I know. I'm a complete UNIX noob; its scary stuff. Um this is what the -a thing did: Linux lewis-laptop 2.6.28-16-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 20 19:48:24 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [13:39] Lewis: ok so your kernel is 32bit (i686 == 32bit) [13:39] dr4g, sort of standard for life, don't you think? [13:40] e3co: help provided by "man vsftpd.conf" [13:40] Younder, what ? [13:40] Lewis: so if you go to the manufacturers site of te device and download the XP driver (32bit) for your device you can get it working [13:40] llutz: a configuration file for vsftpd is going to help me write to mbr? [13:40] e3co: sry, wrong person [13:40] Younder: If you're just going to be random, #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place to be, we like to keep #ubuntu noise free and for support issues only. [13:40] dr4g, ybuntu doen't supply you with a root password. [13:40] ActionParsnip: Yup; i didn't know i could even get 64bit. Im sure my laptop could handle it but i don't want to complicate things further for myself, and okay will do thank you [13:41] llutz: :) [13:41] llutz, the vsfptd.conf file does not contain user configuration. [13:41] yousef, i'm not sure what you're talking about. [13:41] dr4g: man vsftpd.conf [13:41] Lewis: 64bit is equally supported, if you just want a simple system and have less or equal to 3Gb RAM, 32bit is fine [13:41] anyone at all know what "not available in the current data" means? [13:41] Pici: there's no recource for that remark. [13:41] Lewis: if you do lots of encoding of audio / dvds / video then 64bit can give a boost [13:41] Younder: dd if=/dev/usbdrive of=/home/r3l1c/MBRboot.image mbr=512 count=1 ???? [13:42] e3co: delete that mbr=512 [13:42] oh yeah I see [13:42] e3co, you need a of there somewhere [13:42] e3co: "dd if=/dev/usbdrive of=/home/r3l1c/MBRboot.image count=1" [13:43] of=/home/r3l1c/MBRboot.image count=1 [13:43] Where do I find my DNS record? The DNS servers i'm using? [13:43] cool thanks [13:43] a 'of=' [13:43] knoxville: cat /etc/resolv.conf [13:43] knoxville: /etc/resolv.conf [13:43] Younder: pls stop that [13:44] llutz, stop what? [13:44] sorry for all the join/part just trying to get irc all setup and it's done now :) [13:45] Younder: llutz: Thanks [13:45] bbiab [13:45] time to work [13:45] anyone know how to exit the running xsession after a ctrl+alt+f1? [13:45] ActionParsnip: Okay so im downloading the XP driver for the Realtek RTL8192E driver. When it's done, then what? [13:45] skullbox: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop [13:45] thnx [13:46] hey is there anything like Growl on the mac for Ubuntu? Basically just pops translucent windows up when applications have to get your attention? I ask because I don't have IRC on my main workspace and I still want to be notified of messages etc. [13:46] please any help appreciated- what do I need to enable to see "NVidia binary X.Org driver ('version 185' driver)" [13:47] I know it's available somewhere as it's in software center [13:47] mcrandello, did you install the driver? [13:47] hello! [13:47] question: how can i access the part of my liveusb which isn't taken by ubuntu? i should have roughly 200MB [13:48] i_is_broke: no, software center says "not available in current data" whatever that means [13:48] i can't run gnome-main-menu [13:48] mcrandello, i use a nvidea system, it needs to be installed from their web site. [13:48] guessing it means the repo I need isn't available [13:48] the program doesn't exist [13:48] mcrandello, also install the config for it too. [13:48] So if you have troubles with Atheros AR5001 go here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/464559 [13:48] Younder: strange thing is jockey saw my card and package etc. on the CD [13:49] anyone know? [13:49] !nivida [13:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about nivida [13:49] *I mean when running the livecd [13:49] mcrandello, do a google search on modell number [13:49] llutz, Doest vsftpd only work against local users? or can i setup a FTP user which doesn't necessary have a home directory onthe Linux box. [13:49] grrr [13:49] !ati [13:49] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:50] mcrandello, for these custom divers, you need to install from their web site [13:50] can someone help me with my gnome-main-menu problem? [13:50] question: how can i access the part of my liveusb which isn't taken by ubuntu? i should have roughly 200MB [13:50] Problem with wireless for Hp 6535s. Have no driver for wireless. how is resovel ? [13:50] Younder: The driver is listed in the software center [13:50] psychuil, is it partitioned? and have you tried with gparted? [13:50] the LiveCD detected and tried to install the drivers just fine [13:51] i_is_broke: i used some auto maker which formatted it as FAT16 [13:51] mcrandello, then try to access it threw software center [13:51] Don't know anything beyond that [13:51] mcrandello, NVIDEA has custom drivers which are better.. [13:51] Lewis: extract the files, you need a .inf and a .sys file [13:51] i_is_broke: "Not available in the current data" [13:51] is there an specific room for Grub2 questions? [13:51] what does that even mean? [13:52] Ignore me at your own perill [13:52] mcrandello, which means you will need to get the driver from nvidia...and install [13:52] MrPiracy: theres #grub with 50-odd users [13:52] i_is_broke: not using the repo? [13:52] ActionParsnip: that's what i was afraid to hear :( [13:52] ActionParsnip, he tried using the repo. [13:53] i_is_broke: strange, oh well [13:53] so noone knows then [13:53] ugh head desk...bbl [13:53] Younder, the recommended method is not from nvidia website, but via the package manager. [13:54] is there a (3rd party) repository for karmic with l7-filter (or any other suggestions for preventing ssh tunneling through squid proxy) [13:54] ok so i was just reading about how they were working on putting a notification system into 9.04 does that mean it's in 9.10 or did they ditch the idea? [13:55] bazhang, no, not for NVIDEA drivers, read again! [13:55] so would I want to file a bug report on jockey-gtk or USS for this? [13:55] hi! [13:56] guis, i got a problem with JFS filesystem, cant mount it [13:56] Problem with wireless for Hp 6535s. any idea ??? [13:56] guys* [13:56] how can I get image dimensions in CLI? [13:56] !details | Dnrock [13:56] Dnrock: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [13:56] Also the binary driver instructions on the wiki are for 8.10 [13:57] My network pxe boot/tftp traffic is painfully slow lately, does anyone have any suggestions of how I might track down this problem? [13:57] trying i'm trying to compile a kernel with ubuntu 9.10... in the docs it says i have to change debian/rules.d/amd64.mk, i assume its debian.master/rules.d/amd64.mk. furthermore, i have to edit debian/control.stub and debian/control, but in debian.master, i only find a control.stub.in. what to do? [13:58] Hello everyone [13:58] pkkm: imagemagick tools (spelling?) can do thgat i think [13:58] I got a problem [13:58] A sound problem [13:58] Nothing sounds in my system at all [13:58] Yesterday did. [13:58] alberto, oh that one [13:58] I use Ubuntu 9 [13:58] sorry, i got 2 HDD, one 80GB with OS, and one 160 with files, this one - 160GB is JFS formatted. I just installed ubuntu, before that i was using it with debian. And now, with the ubuntu, i open it once from Places without editing Fstab ot mounting it from the console, now i`m trying to mount it from the console and i cant, i got the wrong fs type, bad option bad superblock error [13:59] i have problem with wireless, i'm running ubuntu 9.10. it no have driver for my wireless card. im using laptop Hp 6535s. some one help me find driver for this, or another way to make it work ??? [13:59] alberto, You need to enable sound for the client [13:59] silvering: whats the exact command you are using to moun tit? [13:59] Younder You have the same problem? [13:59] mount -t jfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/Data [13:59] alberto, I take it you have created a user [13:59] silvering: thats the generic 'mount cant figure it out error message' by the way. :) [13:59] so, what should i do? [13:59] Dnrock: More details about your actual card could probably help us help you; Open a Terminal (Applications → Accessories → Terminal) and type 'lspci' - paste the output in a !pastebin [14:00] alberto, yes, I did [14:00] Younder I didn't [14:00] silvering: check fdisk -l output, or perhaps fsck it could be the filesystem needs checked.. Ive never used jfs. so cant advice much more [14:00] YOunder I didn't create any user [14:00] hey guys, I have a notebook here that only boot if I have a pendrive plugged in any usb port, any idea on how to solve this?

[14:00] how do I verify the version of an ubuntu server? [14:00] alberto, well than it should work [14:01] alberto, clearly it doesn't [14:01] Younder, what does creating a user have to with sound issues [14:01] alberto, let's diagnose [14:01] !version | renato [14:01] renato: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [14:01] Dr_Willis cant fsck [14:02] bazhang, it has to do with the default priveleges. By default the older ubuntu versin restricted sound. [14:02] Younder, that is not correct [14:03] Younder Then... Shall I create a new user? [14:03] is it becuase I haev an LTS version of the server that it tells me "there is no new version available" when I try to update? [14:03] alberto, no need [14:03] Hey! I'm playing around with automounting of encrypted volumes on karmic. Anyone any idea how to automaticly use a keyfile (instead of querying the user) if the keyfile for a volume is available? [14:03] ok so i installed galago but is there a way to alter the settings so that i can tell it to make the notifications transparent etc.? [14:03] bazhang, it is so. I had to correct it myself! [14:03] i can't seem to find it in my applications/system menus [14:03] ubott: thanks [14:03] bazhang What should I do? [14:04] alberto, no [14:04] good morning; I'm trying to get Kubuntu 9.10 to print to pdf; the option is there, but I cannot change the page size from A4 (it is grayed out) -- why is this? [14:04] How can i view the existing GROUPS in my system. [14:04] user groups [14:05] come on guys, Cant mount JFS ;( [14:05] hi, i was looking to find out what new packages came out in karmic. [14:05] silvering, you are aware of mount? (man mount) [14:05] alberto, open a terminal and type alsamixer and see that nothing is muted [14:06] yup [14:06] Ok [14:06] yesterday it was working just fine, today is says fuckin error [14:06] Nothing is muted [14:06] Card HDA NVIDIA [14:06] alberto, you can switch between them with the arrows keys. [14:06] Chip Realtek ALC1200 [14:07] Everything's ok [14:07] alright, going to format again.. [14:08] bazhang, it works now [14:08] alberto, what did you change [14:08] What's the replacement for hotplug in karmic? [14:08] bazhang Nothing really [14:08] bazhang Master is turned up [14:09] bazhang As well as Center [14:09] And PCM [14:09] alberto, if the sounds is turned to the max (ie PCM) it may have the effect of no sound; best to leave at around 80-85 for that [14:09] NVIDEA produces aome awsome graphics chips, they do however require custom drivers [14:09] bazhang Ok, I'll try [14:10] hello [14:10] i'm trying to compile a kernel with ubuntu 9.10... in the docs it says i have to change debian/rules.d/amd64.mk, i assume its debian.master/rules.d/amd64.mk. furthermore, i have to edit debian/control.stub and debian/control, but in debian.master, i only find a control.stub.in. what to do? [14:10] bazhang It doesn't work [14:10] hello [14:10] alberto, what does not work [14:10] Setting the PCM volume between 80-85 [14:11] Nothing sounds [14:11] Younder: they dont - there are open source drivers that also have limitations [14:11] alberto, so only at max it works? [14:11] bazhang No, there's no sound. No matter how I set the volumes. [14:11] ikonia, indeed which is why you want it straight from the horses nouth [14:12] mouth [14:12] Younder: want what from the hourses mouth ? [14:12] bazhang Very strange, isn't it? [14:12] how do i make a disk image of my startup volume while it's mounted? [14:12] ikonia, drivers' [14:12] bazhang Yesterday sound worked perfectly well. [14:13] Anyone here used VSFTPD before ?? [14:13] Younder: you want to use the drivers from the ubuntu repos - that is the correct process [14:13] #channel gyan [14:13] blimey, it's busy in here... is this the right place to come for help? [14:14] dr4g: sure === root is now known as Guest80646 [14:14] ganimedeuk: sure is [14:14] yep [14:14] ikonia, can i PM you for a second ? [14:14] glphvgacs: dont make images of mounted volumes, the data may change mid image and may corrupt the image [14:14] dr4g: easier to just ask in the channel unless it's personal [14:14] ikonia, no, the NVIDEA drivers you need are only available from heir web site [14:14] ikonia, this is very busy in here, maybe we can go to #dr4g ? [14:14] Younder: i'm sure other servers have them some place [14:14] Younder: and are not the right choice to use - pelase don't advise people to use them without explaiing the risks [14:14] Younder, that is simply incorrect [14:14] oh good. I was clearing up my system following instructions on a post in the Ubuntu forum, there was a recommendation to empty out /tmp so I did and now Synaptic says my password is incorrect, and Epiphany gives a configuration error. So um, help! [14:14] ikonia, don't be naive [14:14] dr4g: not that busy - just make sure you hilight my name [14:14] Hi guys I'm running off of a disc right now. I installed Kubuntu yesterday and was recommended to use Ubuntu instead because performance reason. I'm trying to install it now but for some reason it's trying to add ANOTHER partition instead of writing over Kubuntu. What do yall think? [14:14] Younder: don't give wrong advice [14:15] ikonia, I could say the same to you [14:15] Younder: it is valid to use the drivers from nvidia.com as long as you understand and make clear the risks to the user you are suggesting it to [14:15] Younder: just make sure you explain the risks to the user [14:15] I wil [14:16] ... [14:16] no problem [14:16] bazhang Any ideas? [14:16] ActionParsnip: what do i do with the .inf and the .sys files? [14:16] sohail: you need to use advanced options to tell it to use the same partitions [14:16] sohail: a better option would be to install the package "ubuntu-desktop" on your kubuntu install [14:16] sohail: that is the same as using ubuntu rather than kubuntu [14:17] alberto, are you using wine? playing youtube while also using and mp3 player? [14:17] ActionParsnip: but do u know of any tools for craeting that images? [14:17] bazhang No, I've just opened XChat === ccooke_ is now known as ccooke [14:18] how do I install the ubuntu desktop? and will it really be the same thing? I don't want to have performance issues later because I did some kind of work around [14:18] sohail: it's exactly the same thing, the only difference is the desktop between kubuntu and ubuntu [14:18] pasv_min_port=30000 [14:18] pasv_max_port=33333 [14:18] oops :( [14:18] sohail: boot your kubuntu install from disk, open the package manager, search for ubuntu-desktop then install that package [14:18] okay, so how do I install gnome? [14:18] er, uninstall the KDE? [14:19] sohail: (when I say from disk, I mean your hard disk) [14:19] glphvgacs: could use partimage [14:19] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting alberto please look at this [14:19] sohail: not yet - just install gnome, you can remove kde once you are happy with gnome [14:19] bazhang Thanks very much [14:19] okay I'll try that now thanks [14:19] ikonia, i've setup vsftpd. Its logging in against the linux users, which is OK. when i login from localhost using 'ftp' command it is fine, but when i'm outside of localhost, it connects and authenticates but then times out when it tries to perform a directory Listing. [14:19] I have a standard Ubuntu Desktop setup... Is there any program that can help be quickly pull up an already window? I get lost with too many windows open and I'd like to search through my windows using their title... an interface similar to Google Suggest... anything like that? [14:19] is anyone able to help with my Synaptic issue? [14:19] glphvgacs: or dd [14:19] *already open window, sorry [14:19] dr4g: set the mode to "passive" with "pas" command [14:19] amerinese: alt+tab [14:20] amerinese: alt+tab like windows [14:20] ActionParsnip: that can be set to accept text search? [14:20] amerinese: no [14:20] amerinese: no, it will just cycle the windows to the front [14:20] ikonia, can you elabroate? is this a linux command? or a vsftpd command ? is it a vsftpd config setting ? [14:20] ikonia, and alt arrow. I have a 4 winow setup [14:21] Younder: that won't allow text search [14:21] ikonia,beautiful thing really [14:21] I'm looking for [pull up small window] -> [type one or two letters and select matching windows (hopefully only 1 or maybe 2 windows match)] [14:21] ikonia, no [14:21] dr4g: the problem is with your ftp client (from a high level diagnostic view) when you login type "pass" to set your client to passive mode [14:21] Does anyone know of a command that will make files created under a directory maintain the directorie's group owner? === max is now known as Guest38882 [14:21] amerinese: I don't think that application exists [14:22] ganimedeuk, could post the link to forum post that you followed. [14:22] I have a share that several users write to, but I want the group of the file to be the share group, not the user, and the group be r/w [14:22] Younder: that's why I've not suggested it to him [14:22] essial: no, but I've made a script that fixes that [14:22] bazhang Terminal says there's no sound group! [14:22] ikonia: ok, thanks [14:22] When I type sudo adduser alberto sound [14:22] amerinese: there's no such thing (that i know of) but you could try to add "window list" or "window selector" to the panel ... it works just like windows [14:22] I mean I can chgrp/chmod every time something breaks but that's annoying [14:22] hi. suddenly my laptop disconnected from my wireless network and now he does not reconnect anymore. it's an atheros card, the network manager says "disconnected" and doesn't show the aailable networks. why? [14:23] essial: look at sticky bits and setgid [14:23] ikonia, sorry, I am a bit out of it [14:23] Younder: easy to lose track [14:23] looking [14:23] ActionParsnip: dd say resour is Busy, when the volume's mounted === Guest38882 is now known as maxreims [14:23] boscop: try: sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop; sleep 5; /etc/init.d/hal restart; sleep 5; /etc/init.d/networking start [14:23] ActionParsnip: is there any dd-switch that can overcome that? [14:23] iwlist scan says "no scan results" :(( [14:24] ikonia, i've set my FTP client to use passive mode but still nothing. [14:24] boscop: you may have to rmmod the driver for the device, then modprobe it back in [14:24] glphvgacs: boot to live cd [14:24] bazhang How could that happened? [14:24] It sounds like sticky bit only allows the creating user to mod the file [14:24] dr4g: does it just "hang" when you type "ls" ? [14:24] bazhang I didn't erase the sound group [14:24] the idea is for the file created to be in the same group as the folder, and with r/w so all users can mod it [14:24] essial: check setgid [14:24] ikonia, on localhost, it's 100% fine.. outside of localhost, it times out. [14:24] ikonia, it might be a routing issue. [14:25] dr4g: ok - that suggests to me it's the reverse path out of your box, quite common when home users try to do port forwarding on their routers at home [14:25] ActionParsnip, seems inefficient [14:25] Younder: what does? === maxreims is now known as Maxreims [14:25] ActionParsnip, It could be done in paralell [14:26] ActionParsnip: how do I do that? (the first method didn't work) [14:26] ikonia, what do you suggest. [14:26] Younder: i find it risky due to processes accessing the disk [14:26] <_HaCKeR_> hey fuck you [14:26] Younder: can you advise boscop [14:26] dr4g: are you trying to do port forwarding ? [14:26] ActionParsnip: my driver is ath9 I think [14:26] ActionParsnip, lock the files! [14:26] Younder: sorry, crossed wires [14:26] MrPiracy: Hmm, yeah, towards what I'm looking for, not there, but maybe I could modify it [14:27] ikonia, i would LIKE to, it seems port 21 is not allowed to be used outside of localhost [14:27] woot [14:27] boscop: sudo rmmod ath9k; sleep 5; sudo modprobe ath9k; sleep 5; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [14:27] does Ubuntu 9.1 install backup the current mbr BEFORE installing grub [14:27] dr4g: check your router - I'd suggest it's how you've got port forwarding setup [14:27] dr4g: don't forget you need port 20 and 21 [14:27] hi, i have to format an external hd of 1tb, is it better to format it to ext3 or to keep it in ntfs, considering that i mostly use it on linux but sometimes i might be use it to transfer data on a windows machine. and what about other filesystems? xfs, reiserfs, etc etc? thanks [14:27] hi back again, I was told to install gnome - desktop from the package manager but I can't find it, or I've found a lot of things that might be it, what is the name of the download exactly? [14:27] how i can change the wallpaper? [14:28] ikonia, hmm ok man [14:28] sohail_: gnome-desktop [14:28] jimmy_: right click desktop -> desktop preferences [14:28] ActionParsnip: oh it seems to work. thanks [14:28] jimmy_: right click on your desktop and use "change desktop background" [14:28] jimmy_, right click change background [14:28] ivman just segfaults... I don't believe it! [14:28] boscop: np man, i'd put that in a script. makes life easier [14:28] my icons disappeared now [14:28] only wallpaper [14:28] remained [14:28] sohail_: the package name is ubuntu-desktop as I told you [14:28] jimmy, yes. Right cligh on the desktop [14:28] ActionParsnip: yeah, I will do that [14:28] sohail_: that is the only package you need [14:29] it gave me an error [14:29] jimmy_: press alt+f2 and run nautilus [14:29] nautilus crashed [14:29] how do i update gnome from 2.28.1 to 2.29.1 [14:29] =/ [14:29] Is there any alternatives for ivman in karmic? [14:29] run nautilus? [14:29] Please people talk to me ;-) [14:29] wats nautilus [14:29] alright thanks [14:29] jimmy_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:29] jimmy_: just restart it then [14:29] syk: if there is no package available in the repos - don't do it [14:29] syk: find a repo with the newer version on [14:29] what to restart? [14:29] !infi ivman [14:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about infi ivman [14:29] !info ivman [14:29] ivman (source: ivman): daemon to auto-mount and manage media devices. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.14-3.1ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 60 kB, installed size 284 kB [14:29] jumbers: what do you think? [14:29] ok [14:29] jimmy_: its the file browser but it also draws the icons on the desktop [14:29] does Ubuntu 9.1 install backup the current mbr BEFORE installing grub [14:29] 9.10 [14:29] how it draws dat? [14:29] I'm running out of ideas :-( [14:29] jimmy: sudio apt-get install nautilus [14:30] sodo [14:30] :O that program shows icons on my own computer! [14:30] jimmy_: i dont know, it just does it. its one of its responsibilities, you need to rerun it [14:30] since the updates yesterday the suspend mode unter karmic is no more working. someone with the same problem? [14:30] so double click it [14:30] doesnt work [14:30] jimmy_: why should jimmy install nautilus when it has obviously crashed? [14:30] my right mouse button stuck [14:30] jimmy_: can you run gnome-terminal using the same alt+f2 method? [14:31] i dont have f2 === jonsol__ is now known as moron [14:31] jimmy: get a new mouse..

[14:31] what is that [14:31] jimmy_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:31] jimmy_: then please continue to rant about it here. [14:32] hahahaha [14:32] jimmy_: by all means [14:32] jimmy_: your keyboard has an F2 key on it, and an ALT key, press them together [14:32] hi, i have to format an external hd of 1tb, is it better to format it to ext3 or to keep it in ntfs, considering that i mostly use it on linux but sometimes i might be use it to transfer data on a windows machine. and what about other filesystems? xfs, reiserfs, etc etc? thanks [14:32] guys that was a joke [14:32] jimmy: how do you type? [14:32] IpSe_DiXiT: we heard you the first time [14:32] it was just a prank [14:32] from encyclopedia dramatica [14:32] moron: just in case [14:32] jimmy_: welcome to ignore, dont waste my time [14:32] IpSe_DiXiT, keep it [14:32] Respect for Linux for niggers [14:32] jimmy_: aren't jokes supposed to be funny?

[14:32] hye , where is xorg file under ubuntu 9.10 i can't found it into /etc/X11 [14:32] IpSe_DiXiT, or get ready for a world of pain [14:33] Anyone _any_ ideas on the approach of hooking a script before mounting a disk device on karmic? [Or telling to use a keyfile for encrypted LUKS volumes instead of querying for a passphrase?] [14:33] Younder: what u mean a world of pain? o_O [14:33] One_Chance: Doesn't exist/get made by default any more [14:33] One_Chance: the xorg.conf is deprecated. [14:33] One_Chance: xorg doesn't need one any more. You can still create it though and it will be used [14:33] funny thing was that you all freaked out [14:33] IpSe_DiXiT, compatabillity prblems galore. [14:33] Younder: i found this http://www.fs-driver.org/ which is a driver that allows windows to read ext partitons, but what u mean anyway? [14:33] i'm not [14:33] One_Chance: if one exists it will be read [14:33] jumbers: morons make that with people [14:33] okay I downloaded and installed ubuntu-desktop... I can't see it anywhere or find it in the search bar but I assume it installed, now what? [14:33] Younder: compatibility with what? could u plz be more specific [14:33] jimmy_: i.e. you. [14:33] Here`s one for you. I`m fine with ssh and X forwarding but I was setting up some compiz effects for a friend (he knows nothing and it would take too long to explain and since I setup his pc in the first palce I installed ssh knowing I`d be on call lol) so I ran ccsm and it displayed fine and I set some plugins up and told him to test it his side, didnt work. Seems the ccms I was modifying was not using/saving HIS settings yet I was l [14:33] ogged in as him.. anyone know a reason? [14:34] I'm not getting any sound in 9.10. Please help me. [14:34] moron,look at your nick :D [14:34] IpSe_DiXiT, that is a good one. [14:34] iwant to save my X config befor installing card graphic driver [14:34] Moron moron is moron [14:34] IpSe_DiXiT, It works with me anyhow. [14:34] duffydack: did you ssh as HIS username or your own? [14:34] jimmy_: parse error, please try again [14:34] I have tested it locally too, and the same thing happens. [14:34] Please someone help me [14:34] ActionParsnip, his login... [14:34] One_Chance: copy it to your home then [14:34] ask who? [14:35] duffydack: ok thats good [14:35] Deriativewerks: sure thing. JFGI. [14:35] canonical knows [14:35] duffydack: try an X restart [14:35] ActionParsnip, Im fine with ssh :) [14:35] mac stole ideeas from linux [14:35] Deriativewerks: there's lots of information on sound not working in 9.10 if you look for it. [14:35] lets trooool [14:35] Younder: im not sure im quite getting u, could u specify the subject? "what" is a good one? what are u saying?

[14:51] mezquitale: http://pastebin.org/53033 [14:51] elecxodus: meerly utube [14:51] pune, it should clean the broken install out. In case it doesn't, you will need to edit the Grub menu. [14:51] [SeungFu] what did you mean ? is your bootloader broken down? [14:52] mbeierl: anyway i think i got it: i'll format it to EXT2 since i mostly use it on linux, no ext3 needed since its just a data drive and what should i need journaling for on a data drive? :D plus i'll get rid of the 5% superblocks (which should be about 60GB) no needed on a non-system partition. correct me if im wrong [14:52] Younder: I could rapidshare it with you.

Now both ubuntu or win refuse to start from grub. Files seem to be there though, checked filesystem with gparted from livecd(9.04). Is the next step to reinstall some kind of bootblock? [15:43] JuJuBee: first, how are you attempting to start it ? [15:43] okay, why is pulseaudio sucking up one of my cores for? [15:43] ironsight: because PulseAudio is buggy [15:43] Samus_Aran: I had it installed and working fine and after an update last week it stopped starting. [15:43] ironsight: it hungers for cpu [15:43] It was starting at boot [15:43] ironsight: just kill it off, it will restart as needed [15:44] !bugs > ironsight [15:44] ironsight, please see my private message [15:44] ironsight: probably worthwhile to check for existing bugs there [15:44] is ther any community called data warehousing?

[15:45] Samus_Aran: yes ,and it failed then also. Did not provide any useful info either. So, I purged it as it was causing my boot time to take 7-10 minutes [15:45] samus_aran:can i pm? [15:45] ocatacoo: its just a meta package [15:45] good morning; I'm trying to get Kubuntu 9.10 to print to pdf; the option is there, but I cannot change the page size from A4 (it is grayed out) -- why is this? [15:45] ocatacoo, are you referring to the package ubuntu-desktop ?

[15:57] Beelsebob: try "cat /dev/sr0 >/tmp/test.iso" [15:57] Samus_Aran: in the mean time, VLC thinks /dev/sr0 is the correct device, but fails to read from it too… Neither even seem to spin up the disk [15:57] nope [15:57] yes.....and until a few minutes ago it all worked fine. I unmounted it, and now it doesnt mount anything any dvd, even the ones that it used to work 5 minutes ago [15:58] JuJuBee: what happens if you do: sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-common start [15:58] how do I ask a local dns server (bunutu) to use /etc/hosts first (It used to be order hosts, bind in hosts.conf but that is not the case anymore) [15:58] any ideas?

Im using ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 [16:03] Samus_Aran: should I purge nfs-common and re-install? [16:03] Samus_Aran: I want my user gasull to be able to write and read from /home/gasull/Pictures [16:03] ecm: some motherboards (like the Dell 620) is 32 bit even though the chip is 32 bit, so it cannot use all 4 gb, even though Dell claims it supports 4gb [16:03] JuJuBee: no. need to find out why it failed [16:03] bazhang: my new pc , needs win 7 and ubuntu it has no OS atm [16:03] JuJuBee: it took several minutes to give you a [fail] ?

Since I upgraded to Karmic from Jaunty, domain name resolution is unusably slow (takes half a minute to load a webpage). I tried disabling ipv6, but that didn't help. However, if I remove the 2 servers that don't work from resolv.conf AND I remove both the search and domain lines, then the problem goes away (but not if I don't do both of these things). Does anyone know how I could fix this permanently? (note: the problem is only present [16:04] if I connect to the uni's VPN, which is necessary to access the internet here...) [16:04] I can't log in to the computer at all, it says my password is invalid [16:04] hello . How can I disable the "wireless network found/disconnected" notification of gnome network manager applet ? It's quite disturbing when im reading something.

Sorry for the confusion [16:05] hi? [16:05] ecm: I want to make sure you understand that some motherboard manufacturers cheap out and give you 32bit bioses even with 64bit chips. So if only 3.2gb of memory are available and you are running ubuntu 64bit on it, it can be the mobo, not the OS's fault [16:05] llutz, Samus_Aran: thanks a lot [16:05] mbeierl, I can't log in to the computer at all, it says my password is invalid [16:05] night1ne, where does ubuntu come into this [16:06] gasull: welcome [16:06] how to find frame buffer address [16:06] night1ne: I'd just hit google with: microsoft web fonts apple OR mac [16:06] Samus_Aran, it is DNS lookups. I've gone through this many times. I've been trying to fix it many times during the past 10 days. pings are slow too the first time I ping a new domain. [16:06] Because I want to use the fonts as well. And I remember there being a page somewhere online that had a bunch of fonts, but they were mainly for mac [16:06] Hi, could anyone tell me where I can get information about setting up General Environmental Settings for Proxy on Ubuntu 8.04? [16:06] GanimedeUK: ok, so reboot and from the very start of the reboot (before grub, during the BIOS self-test or welcome screen) hold down the SHIFT key and the grub boot menu will appear [16:06] GanimedeUK: choose "recovery mode" [16:07] night1ne, on ubuntu? [16:07] Samus_Aran, the second time I try it it's fast. [16:07] Halabund: that suggests there is a broken proxy somewhere along the line [16:07] excuse me, when I try to install Ubuntu 9.10, it doesn't recognize the partitions I already have [16:07] Halabund: what is in your /etc/resolv.conf ? [16:08] My os is ubuntu, yes. It was when I was looking for comic sans, and someone sent me to a page. Can't remember what it was though. [16:08] fernandor, dual boot? with windows 7 ? [16:08] mbeierl: when it asks, go to "terminal without networking" or "console without network" or something similar to that. Then, at the prompt, type in "passwd " where is your user name that has the bad password [16:08] !fonts | night1ne [16:08] fernandor: what was used to create the partitions ? [16:08] night1ne: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [16:08] Samus_Aran: What do I look at to see why it failed?

All columns now filled with colour - but still silent [16:09] hi'lo #ubuntu [16:09] dacone: greetings [16:09] can I tell gedit not to create example.html~ files? [16:09] fuller9box, do you use pulseaudio and if so do you also have a pci soundcard ? [16:09] benc1: go to the preferences and disable saving backup copies [16:10] nope.. i have win XP on a FAT ( or FAT32) can't remember [16:10] so does anyone knows how to find frame buffer address in ubuntu 9.10???? [16:10] Samus_Aran, here it is http://pastebin.com/d1fd7a602 If I commend the domain and search lines, and remove the first and third 10.* servers (which don't seem to work while I am connected to the VPN, but do work otherwise), then the problem goes away. [16:10] BluesKaj - dunno dunno, can i find out through term? lspci? [16:11] dragan: using more than one question mark is like yelling, it's not very polite. what do you mean by "frame buffer address" ? [16:11] Samus_Aran, unfortunately I have no control over my connection. It is provided by the university. [16:11] GanimedeUK: you got kicked again, or was that a reboot? [16:11] fuller9box, lspci | grep audio [16:11] GanimedeUK: actually, you're not being kicked, but the connection is lost from what I see of the message in irc from this side [16:11] mbeierl, I got kicked again, I didn't see anything after my last comment [16:11] BluesKaj - thanks - gonna try now [16:11] Samus_Aran, I had no problems with Jaunty, and I have no problems with WinXP presently. The problem appeared in Karmic only. [16:12] GanimedeUK: ok, I was telling you how to reboot into rescue mode to reset your password. [16:12] I don't know why my connection is being screwy, it's only happening on this server [16:12] hi, lease how can i save a file that was loaded before in firefox? i searched in .mozilla cache and in /tmp and it isn't :/ [16:12] !list [16:12] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [16:12] GanimedeUK: ok, so reboot and from the very start of the reboot (before grub, during the BIOS self-test or welcome screen) hold down the SHIFT key and the grub boot menu will appear. choose "recovery mode" when it asks, go to "terminal without networking" or "console without network" or something similar to that. Then, at the prompt, type in "passwd " where is your user name that has the bad password [16:12] mbeierl, thanks. I've used a Live CD to get onto my laptop if that helps [16:12] Halabund: I am not currently on Karmic, so I'm not sure what they might have changed that could affect this, but possibly some sort of ipv6 support. anyhow, it seems you'll want to manually set your DNS servers rather than using the list provided by DHCP [16:13] Samus_Aran: did tail -f /var/log/messages and tried to start nfs-common ... all I get is bunch of http://paste.ubuntu.com/317045/ [16:13] I have mounted a windows share in my home directory. When I browse to it I have full access if I go Places>removable media i have view only access. It has 0777 permissions [16:13] BluesKaj - nothing!!!! lspci | grep audio returns, ~$ [16:14] mbeierl, okay, and then what will happen? [16:14] obiwan_: it depends where have you saved files you download. think as default in firefox they go to Destkop [16:14] If you want 'VIDEO_FB', you must set SCREEN_ADRESSE to the frame buffer address. To get that value, you can use either the '/var/log/kern.log' file or the 'dmesg' command. For example : dmesg | grep -E "Framebuffer at 0x[0-9a-d]+, mapped to 0x[0-9a-d]+" Sep 1 21:03:01 godel kernel: sisfb: Framebuffer at 0xd0000000, mapped to 0xd001d000, size 8192k..... dmseg | grep does nothing and /var/log/kernel.log have nothing about frame buffer [16:14] JuJuBee: it looks to me like your networking is not operational. as a regular user, do "ifconfig -a" and pastebin the output [16:14] Hello Guys: I have a PC with Linux Ubuntupc 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux and i need wireless from boot on so that i start the pc and he connects to the AP because i want to build a server and i dont know how to setup this: here is all what you need: uname -a: Linux Ubuntupc 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686...

[16:16] GanimedeUK: still there, or did your network drop again? [16:16] hey I have onboard sound that keeps showing up despite driver being blacklisted. is there a way to blacklist the device itself? [16:16] im asking how to set up and configurate the wireless connection from the command line, yes [16:16] whammo, go into the computer bios and disable it. [16:16] hey how do i install pypanel on ubuntu 9.04? [16:17] hi [16:17] JuJuBee: okay you have two network cards. how is NFS to be using them ?

[16:19] howto setup wireless connection with wpa_supplicant over command line and set it to autorun with static ipadress, mask and gateway [16:19] whammo: try BIOS, it's possible you can turn the device off [16:19] BluesKaj (cat /proc/asound/cards = 0 [SB ] HDA-Itel -HDA ATI SB, HDA ATI at 0xfeb4000 irq 16. ) hope this helps u (thanks ) [16:20] alankila: thanks but I've tried, no option [16:20] oh. Sorry. [16:20] sok [16:20] I just looked up and saw someone suggested this as well [16:20] ok i'm back now [16:20] no, I guess a blacklist, a custom one, is probably the best you can hope for then [16:20] !intelhda | fuller9box [16:20] fuller9box: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [16:20] whammo: what's wrong with the blacklist module way ? [16:20] eXlin: i did it i sasked in firefox server and they taught me :) [16:21] o, my problem is that Ubuntu 9.10 doesn't recogniza the partitions i've already had [16:21] Samus_Aran: it's not really doing the job. that module must be getting loaded anyway [16:21] how long is the support of ubuntu LTS? [16:21] obiwan: [16:21] in modern pulseaudio world it should be possible to select the right output device in case you have another soundcard [16:21] Natanaiel, until the next one comes out [16:22] I installed 9.10 and when I switch to external monitor mouse disappears [16:22] obiwan_: if you need to find and you havent cleared dowloads list in firefox yet you can go Tools->Downloads [16:22] Natanaiel: 3 years for the desktop, 5 for the server. [16:22] if it were possible to block that module from kernel at boottime that would be as low-level as you could get, but I don't know how [16:22] 9 [16:22] BluesKaj, ubottu, - thanks to you both gone to have a read - thanks again [16:22] tnx Pici [16:22] !ubottu | fuller9box [16:22] fuller9box: Hi!

[16:23] whammo: why are you trying to blacklist it ? [16:23] vonskie: you'll need to provide more info like what video card you have, and what steps you take to switch to external monitor, please [16:23] Mouse works just no pointer [16:24] Samus_Aran: howto setup wireless connection with wpa_supplicant over command line and set it to autorun with static ipadress, mask and gateway? [16:24] intel 945 [16:24] eXlin: nope, i went there but it isn't, the file is in about:cache [16:24] vonskie: you could try change4ing the mouse pointer to the default X pointer set. but other then that - no idea.

(Mobility Radeon X1400) [16:25] well, I use a USB sound card that sometime disconnects randomly due to low bus power (laptop) and having onboard disabled permanently would make it simpler to manage reconnecting it [16:25] fernandor: install/run ntfs-config for starters [16:25] and how in the name of god should i do that (T-T) [16:26] Samus_Aran: any ideas?

[17:04] WickedClown: hmmm [17:05] Yeah i know :( [17:05] Is there way to make image of my old hdd or something like that? That I could later mount to find data? [17:05] is there people experiencing having really huge /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/messages files (±2Go) ? [17:05] I currently lookin it up [17:05] WickedClown: why not [17:05] i have a community etc... using MySQL [17:05] WickedClown, as SQLite is "serverless" it should be an issue at all [17:05] ZachK_: i found php5-sqlite just without nr 3 [17:05] WickedClown: yes.. um you could have 100's of different programs using diffrent SQLite databases at the same time.. [17:05] and scripts which use SQLlite [17:05] after "fdisk -l" [17:05] i get this [17:05] Disco /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes [17:06] bashca: ok...

[17:06] fernandor: use pastebin [17:06] ZachK_: stile same problem [17:06] WickedClown: yes.. [17:06] WickedClown: yes [17:06] <`Robin`> GRUB says ERROR: can't read file.......... how do i solve this? :'( [17:06] what is pastebin? [17:06] <`Robin`> a site [17:06] iamleneko: check the logs and find the root cause (could be a kernel bug) [17:06] !pastebin | fernandor [17:06] fernandor: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [17:06] !pastebin | fernandor [17:06] Hans_Henrik, and this will NOT affect MySQL right? [17:06] <`Robin`> pastebin.com [17:06] erUSUL, kern.log isn't about drivers failure ? or is some software could spam it ? [17:06] WickedClown: yes [17:06] WickedClown: correct* [17:07] down with the clown [17:07] iamleneko: is the kernel [17:07] !pastebinit [17:07] so is the smaller the the block size the faster the copy (in dd)? [17:07] pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin . Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output. Simple usage: command-name | pastebinit [17:07] Hans_Henrik, thanks thats all i wanted to know Hans_Henrik :) [17:07] <`Robin`> GR UB says ERROR: can't read file.......... how do i solve this? :'( [17:07] woot [17:07] <`Robin`> GRUB2 [17:07] ok but anyway, what should i do now?.. [17:07] do you need more infos? [17:07] Trizicus: it depends if you make it too small it can became cpu bound ? [17:08] erUSUL, okey, that will not be easy as it is not my computer, but a friend one, but hopefully a 10Mo tail would be enough to found the problem [17:08] WickedClown: btw maybe you should goto #mysql if you have more questions regarding.. mysql/sqlite :p [17:08] iamleneko: probably ;) and logs compress very well [17:08] ok once again.. [17:08] fernandor: post the link of pastebin to let me see the results :) [17:08] erUSUL: ok so then the smaller the blocksize the more CPU time dd needs but the larger the blocksize the less cpu time correct (b/c of DMA?) [17:08] there he goes [17:09] Trizicus: it has to do less copies [17:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/317097/ [17:09] there it is [17:09] erUSUL: So you can choose any bs for anything and it wont affect how the data comes out then right? [17:09] is it ok that way?.. i am really new on this ... [17:09] how do i compresse log ? tail -c 10M /var/log/kern.log | gzip > ~/some_file.txt.gz ? [17:09] Trizicus: to transfer 1 MB in 1k chunks you need 1000 read write cycles if you use 128k you only need 8 [17:10] fernandor: your partitions are there, they are recognized, read "man mount" to find out how to mount 'em [17:10] iamleneko: yep that would work [17:10] ! [17:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:10] uhhmm... ok i'll give it a try [17:10] greetings...how do i streamline Karmic?

[17:10] Hans_Henrik, i got a problem now ^ [17:11] Hans_Henrik, he simply wont install with [17:11] sudo apt-get install sqlite3 [17:11] erUSUL: So does bs just affect how long it takes to copy byte wise? The end process is always the same no matter which bs you choose correct? [17:11] does Karmic crawl on 900Mhz? anyone else creeping along? [17:11] oh my goodness.... O_o i can't inderstand a thing about this [17:11] Trizicus: should be [17:11] erUSUL: ok thanks :) [17:11] i did that of the man mount but don't understand how to mount those things :S [17:12] maria_: I would presume it matters on how much desktop effects you have activated [17:12] !Sqlite [17:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about Sqlite [17:12] Trizicus...where can i turn them off?

[17:40] I traced it to the HVR-950. When I disconnected the HVR-950, the error no longer occurs. Could this be a Linux kernel 2.6.31-14-generic & xc3028-v27.fw & HVR-950 compatibility issue?

I was just mounting by hand my pendrives for a while. [17:47] boscop_: well.. you can change the default os id from the grub conf file [17:47] Dr_Willis.-> cool. i guess i'll switch next week. [17:47] u3 flash unmounting is a known bug [17:47] younas, google how to open/forward port plus your fw/router name === zero is now known as Guest52564 [17:47] tohenrik, du skal faen meg ikke banne so in i hælvetses jævelig! [17:47] boscop_: but.. if it's set as default to boot in windows.. and you're in windows, you can't make it boot from linux [17:47] Dr_Willis, ok--- actually im just suffering from a problem with the login screen, when you play around with the accessability screen the theme changes to a white one and stays that way [17:47] unless you have like an ext3/4 driver for windows [17:47] amstan: the thing is. I only have one functioning OS installed. antix. but the rest of my previous ubbuntu installation is still on the second drive [17:47] !no | Younder tohenrik [17:47] Younder tohenrik: Hvis du vil diskutere på Norsk, vennligst gå til #ubuntu-no. Takk! [17:48] amstan: grub shouldn't list it becuase it's not bootable [17:48] boscop_: so.. what exactly do you want to do? [17:48] ok thanks [17:48] boscop_: grub doesn't remove stuff if it's not bootable [17:49] clever ubotto bot [17:49] it stays in the list as long as the config file says so [17:49] anyway.. [17:49] i have to go [17:49] amstan: it should auto-boot antix. and I want to use the second disk for storing files [17:49] sorry Pici [17:49] hey whats the command for locking the screen [17:49] I am using Deluge but the tray icon is too ugly. how do I change it? [17:50] im on Karmic [17:50] I tried changing the icons I found installed but it didn't work. [17:50] lhasbs: I guess /usr/share/icons or something like that [17:50] hey whats the command for locking the screen from terminal? [17:51] luist: if you sue screen: ctrl+a x [17:51] luist: s/sue/use/ [17:51] there isn't one [17:52] how do you stop a running process? error says transmission is already running and cannot open [17:52] hi [17:52] how can I reset gnome ? [17:52] boscop_: i want to add an option to openbox menu to lock screen... [17:52] is there a force kill command?

[17:52] fast-user-switch-applet [17:52] luist: you can use xlock, it is in the xlockmore package === yoasif_ is now known as yoasif [17:53] boscop_: the same lock from gnome menu... that has restart shutdown etc [17:53] does anyone know how to end a running process from the terminal? [17:53] is it possible to access a jailbroken ipod touch? meaning copy media onto it in a way that it recognizes it [17:54] karmic_police: kill ? [17:54] karmic_police, yes kill [17:55] i tried that [17:55] mark@mark-desktop:~$ kill transmission bash: kill: transmission: arguments must be process or job IDs mark@mark-desktop:~$ [17:55] do a ps -aux and then a kill -9 of the process id [17:55] the -9 is unconditiounal and always works [17:55] karmic_police: if you want to use the process name you need to use pkill [17:56] or killall [17:56] a sigkill [17:56] karmic_police, you need to use "killall" to use the application name so perhaps "killall -9 transmission"? [17:56] yeah :D [17:56] luist: you can try gnome-screensaver-command --lock [17:56] ty [17:56] hello here!, did you guys found a solution to the Gnome Panel freezing on Karmic please? I am searching forums for last two days w/out success... [17:56] hi.. i need help, java applet won't load. http://imagebin.org/71446 . thanks [17:56] that didn;t work either [17:57] hu folks [17:57] trying to run transmission but it states its alrrunning [17:57] pkill doesn't do anything [17:57] I would like to install a 9.10 system with rootfs+/boot+swap encrypted via LVM+LUKS [17:57] karmic_police: killall [17:57] I see there is no choice in ubiquity, do you guys have any pointers about a manual setup somewhere ? [17:57] karmic_police: what's the PID of transmission? [17:58] epinky, it's a SID [17:58] i'm a noob.. not familiar with PID [17:58] Hi [17:58] lol [17:58] LVM+LUKS base install anyone ? [17:58] Transmission is already running, but is not responding. To start a new session, you must first close the existing Transmission process. [17:59] karmic_police: killall transmission [17:59] tried that [17:59] are you even listening? [17:59] you have both a SID (system id) and a PID (Process ID) [17:59] both are important [17:59] karmic_police: do ps aux | grep transmission [17:59] ok.. got it to work that time.. would not kill from the terminal... did alt f2 and it killed [17:59] karmic_police: 3773 2.8 2.3 65764 22976 ?

[18:01] what the hell did you do to fix it? [18:01] guest, don't remember [18:01] the only work around I have found, is to open a folder containing my desktop files. once I do that, files appear on my desktop that weren't there before and then the mouse busy thing goes away. [18:01] it's really annoying. [18:02] guest, I go into hacking mode when stressed [18:02] Hello all. I'm starting with a Linux Kernel programming course and I'm having trouble starting. Although I understand the theory okay, I can not get a simple example started; It says I miss the files and numerous other files. I checked and I do not even have the '/linux' directory. Now, I _guess_ this is because I need the kernel source? If so, what is the easiest way to obtain this. If not, what else could be the case? === Snakebcn_ is now known as Snakebcn === Guest46565 is now known as Crumbles [18:02] lol, hacking mode? yea, I don't know that much about linux yet...

[18:11] ozzloy, press the PC start button [18:12] Younder, i currently have that set to hibernate [18:12] or does it update automatically after downloading and installing the deb file??? [18:12] Younder, you think hibernating and returning might help? [18:12] ozzloy, and that is what causes it [18:13] ozzloy, I have the same setup [18:13] Younder, well sleeping is what caused it, not hibernating [18:13] Just try pushing the button ;) [18:13] ozzloy, same ting === pyrak_ is now known as pyrak [18:13] sure ok [18:13] brb [18:14] adamnl, nope. suspend is broken on ubuntu [18:14] It is? Hmm [18:14] adamnl: yes, in /usr/src/linux-headers-VERSION/include/linux [18:14] yeah, that button's not working for me. huh.

[18:14] i'll try the lid [18:15] ozzloy, no go either [18:15] trism: That means I will have to change the sourcecode to point to that location? [18:15] Hi, if I use Citrix Xenserver, I can't seem to get the 9.10 xs-tools to install correctly, even though the .deb file says it's installed when you use the deb package installer. Basically I don't see the normal integration I saw in 9.04. Any advice? === guy is now known as Guest91194 [18:16] adamnl: depends on how it is set up, most modules can figure it out from the running kernel (but if you wrote it all yourself you may need to include the path) [18:16] question. how well would a amd anthlon run as a server with the full gui running? [18:16] is there a tool to fix get data from a damaged usb stick? [18:16] suspending and returning worked with laptop lid, but mouse still inoperable [18:16] is there a tool to fix / get data from a damaged usb stick? [18:16] resno, wouldn't you just install Ubuntu server, and then add the Gnome, or KDE desktop to it using apt-get if it's not an installer option? [18:16] how do i shutdown from the kb? [18:16] tstuetz__: coulxd try foremost [18:17] resno, that's pretty vague: how many services do you intend to run on it. X does take a lot out of a machine [18:17] ozzloy: sudo shutdown -h now [18:17] ozzloy, you mean the command line [18:17] azizi: shutdown -t now in shell [18:17] sure, i could do that i spose [18:17] ozzloy, 'shutdown' [18:17] ActionParsnip: i do not understand [18:17] trism: For now, I'm just running (or well, currently installing) a standard Ubuntu installation [18:18] tstuetz__: foremost is a tool, you can read the usb and output any files found to a folder on a healthy partition (with sufficient space) [18:18] bidossessi: its going to be a pre-production (demo) server [18:18] !info foremost [18:18] foremost (source: foremost): Forensics application to recover data. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.6-1 (karmic), package size 41 kB, installed size 140 kB [18:18] Seems Ubuntu got a long, long way since I used it :) [18:18] scratchme: is there a large difference between the two? [18:18] ozzloy: I have a problem on karmic (and have heard scant reports from others) where suddenly the mouse stops taking clicks. it moves, but it just can't do anything like change window focus or click on anything. Is that what you're seeing right now? and does it always happen after suspend? [18:18] resno, sounds like it should be fine. Gnome is the one that installs with a standard desktop disc. [18:18] adamnl: yes its quite sweet now [18:19] where are hibernation files stored upon initiation? and are they compressed before writing? [18:19] scratchme: aside from hd space, should i use the server install instead? [18:19] ageeb: swap I believe [18:19] k ty [18:19] ageeb: in the swap partition/file, and no they are not compressed unless you use something like the alternate tux on ice hibernation kernel [18:19] resno, you can use the desktop installer if you like. The packages are just mostly pre-configured for the typical use to accommodate what you're most likely to do with it. [18:20] resno, you might be better off for simplicity to use the desktop installer, and add whatever server apps you need using the gui synaptic installer. [18:20] ok Ive got compiz "place windows" all setup for my apps, but is there any way to stop an app thats being forced onto another desktop to not appear on the taskbar of the desktop you are on currently....it flashes like its got something new so when you click it, it takes you to that desktop... [18:20] scratchme: what is the intel eqivalent of a athlon [18:20] resno, either way works. [18:20] !disable graphical login [18:20] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:20] ageeb: they are also encrypted, again unless you use an alternate hibernate kernel [18:20] actionparsnip, mbeierl: thanks. i was trying to determine a swap size [18:20] does anyone know how to make x start on runlevel 4 or 5 now upstart has taken over my system it starts on run level 3 which of course is bad [18:20] resno, depends on which Athlon you're referring to. [18:21] mbeierl: noted [18:21] ageeb: 1xram minimum for hibernate [18:21] ActionParsnip: thanks! [18:21] scratchme: do you know the command to check? [18:21] ageeb: the old rule of 2x ram is still pretty appropriate I think. [18:21] how to use compiz on ubuntu? [18:21] !runlevel | oobe [18:21] oobe: 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. [18:21] resno, this site is not all encompassing, but it should give you an idea: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/ [18:21] or should i reboot? [18:21] vng: make sure video drivers are installed and working then run: compiz --replace [18:21] thanks scratchme [18:21] Linuxjournal [18:21] resno, get your model number then check the chart. It'll show you the score, then look at the nearby processors. [18:21] vng: you can configure it in ccsm [18:21] guntbert, do you know the answer cause i already knew all of that [18:21] Hi Everyone [18:22] ActionPasnip: thanks [18:22] let me try [18:22] Hi, if I use Citrix Xenserver, I can't seem to get the 9.10 xs-tools to install correctly, even though the .deb file says it's installed when you use the deb package installer. Basically I don't see the normal integration I saw in 9.04. Any advice? [18:22] oobe: sorry, but you were talking about runlevels - and on ubuntu there has been no difference between them for a long time [18:23] hi [18:23] not trying to be a pest, anyone know how to fix garbled status screens. When I open certain apps, the I get splash screens that are garbled. [18:23] hi I have a question [18:23] hi, i want to use kregexpeditor, i'm on jaunty - but it seems like it was removed from the packages tree - was it renamed, or what is the matter? [18:23] can any one tell me if there is any laternative to dcop in a Ubuntu+gnome [18:23] I remember that we have to install ...manager package, but i don't remenber its name?

[18:24] vng: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [18:24] man... very good [18:24] irc still alive [18:24] ActionParsnip: thanks [18:24] IceMansicle: what are you trying to do? [18:24] quake_guy, Try disabling composite [18:25] If so you might need to enable one of the compat compiz plugins [18:25] just thought I would try [18:25] connect it to transfer files back and forth [18:25] quake_guy, if it's garbled that sounds like your color palette is likely limited to a set of colors not included in the image (example: 256/16 colors where the image is perhaps full color, or a different color set of 256). Easiest fix for that being the root cause would be to check your desktop resolution/color settings and verify they are high/full color (16bit-24bit). [18:25] On Karmic, is there a way to change the default GDM resolution? [18:25] anyone having problems setting up email filters in evolution (2.28.1) [18:25] i have a buttload of cron job emails forward to my account from root, so right clicking on one of the cron emails, i've tried to setup filter rules for sender, recipient and subject, to go to a "cron jobs" folder, and they are still appearing in my inbox [18:25] SEJeff, where do I do that? [18:26] I am getting the error "dbus: not found" [18:26] System --> Appearance --> Desktop Effects. Disable them and then try [18:27] quake_guy, I mean System --> Preferences --> Appearance --> Visual Effects --> None for Karmic. [18:28] ScislaC: i defined mine in xorg.conf, it will use the leftmost resolution line, their isnt a file by default in karnic, it may obey the resolution used by grub though, not sure [18:28] SEJeff, I am getting the error "dbus: not found" [18:28] ok, mouse works after reboot [18:28] SEJeff, I removed compiz to rule that out. so when I go there, it say compiz is not installed. Otherwise I had it set to none. [18:28] I did a 'sudo apt-get install linux-source'.. No luck with that :( [18:28] Hi, if I use Citrix Xenserver, I can't seem to get the 9.10 xs-tools to install correctly, even though the .deb file says it's installed when you use the deb package installer.

How can I disable the "wireless network found/disconnected" notification of gnome network manager applet ? It's quite disturbing when im reading something. Im using ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 [18:34] I will get the build-essentials, if that is what you mean [18:34] adamnl, try 'sudo install g++' [18:34] tumbl3r: unless you are using server [18:34] is it possible to install a program in Wine for every Linux user? [18:34] Done [18:34] why wont VirtuaBOX OSE, recognize my sound card, or video card? [18:34] scratchme, compiz is not installed at all.

It is packaged for easy installation into Ubuntu. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [18:35] doruk: yes, every user has their own .wine folder... which is kinda lame, because the same things end up being installed more than once on the same computer [18:36] Hi, if I use Citrix Xenserver, I can't seem to get the 9.10 xs-tools to install correctly, even though the .deb file says it's installed when you use the deb package installer. Basically I don't see the normal integration I saw in 9.04. Any advice? [18:36] unimatrix: you could make the folder accessible to all in the users group, then you may be able to symlink the install folder, may not work due to registry entries and windows directories but if you symlinked the entire .wine folder it would work [18:36] (join #ubuntu.de [18:36] I have a machine connected to a screen running 1920*1080, but the picture itself is "outside" the screen area.

[19:05] LjL: well the ram isn't a problem... (8GB) [19:05] where can I find information on how to do that? [19:06] ranjan, I am a satanist so I wouldn't count on it!

[19:07] infoG: your BIOS may well not support that option, but it pays to check. [19:07] There are "spark sounds" just everytime somethings plays some sounds.

So while you might be able to see the data files, you can't run the server [19:28] mbeierl, anyway, thanks to make me discover it :) [19:28] is there a command to update all pacakges at once?

[19:30] nottrin: "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade" [19:30] ty [19:30] well its on my Vista partition, but what I want is to use Data Studio to access it [19:30] sorry to repeat [19:30] rakesh: there are many im clients that support yahoo, I use pidgin myself [19:30] hi there!! i need to install moonlight but i can't get access to the website (when i try..firefox shuts down) [19:30] what can i do? [19:30] hrm [19:30] yahoo messenger can b run in same way as in window xp....trism [19:31] does anyone know if karmic supports growing raid 0 arrays with mdadm yet [19:31] or if they havent actually applied that patch yet [19:31] rakesh: it is a different client, it won't have all the features of the windows yahoo client, but you can log into your yahoo account and message your contacts [19:32] rakesh: they used to have a linux client, but it was never as good as their windows one, and I think they discontinued it [19:32] I have a tv that can pull media from dlna servers, what are good ones for ubuntu? vlc doesn't seem to support it. [19:33] hello. I just upgraded to ubuntu 9.10. Everything's fine, except I can't find the "lock scree" button.. I also don't find an applet for the panel for this.. what am i missing? [19:33] hello all, I'm having trouble trying to figure out which sound card I have from this list: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt can anyone help please? [19:33] how to install ia32.libs on karmik koala 64bit ubuntu? [19:33] Internet TV? Anyone know of a desklet or program that will allow me to watch streaming TV like MSNBC, CNN, CNBC, etc.? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [19:34] no-one? [19:34] eli_: i think its super+L or alt+L check in keyboard shortcuts [19:34] eli_: lock screen is an option in the menu with your username (indicator applet session), along with shutdown and log out, etc [19:34] when setting up an adhoc connection that allows connection sharing how can you get dnsmasq to respond to dns queries? Right now it returns "refused" [19:35] lavida: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs [19:35] !info ia32-libs [19:35] Package ia32-libs does not exist in karmic [19:35] hm, alt+l, ctl+l, etc. is not working [19:35] ViaNocturn85: I'd like to clarify: the data files exist on the Vista partition, yes, but without actually having the MS SQL Server program running, there is no software that will allow you to read the data files. Therefore you need a Windows environment in order to start the MS SQL Server program. [19:35] i need to install moonlight but i can't get access to the website (when i try..firefox shuts down) [19:35] eli_: check keyboard shortcuts, those were just guesses [19:35] eli_: you trying to lock your screen? ctrl-alt-L [19:36] ViaNocturn85: this is done on purpose in order to protect the integrity of the MS SQL database. [19:36] hello all, I'm having trouble trying to figure out which sound card I have from this list: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt can anyone help please? [19:36] asfjdiashdgasfd, Try aplay -L [19:36] sivel, ah, now i'm getting to the problem: can't find command bla-bla [19:36] ActionParsnip, i got this message when i do that http://paste.pocoo.org/show/150245/ [19:36] sivel, thanks, now i can figure out whats wrong [19:36] eli_: np [19:36] lavida: http://pastebin.com/f667a1137 [19:36] eli_, System → preferences → keyboard shortcuts [19:36] fifafrazer, that only tells the sound card name, not the kernel card identification [19:37] eli_, its ctrl+alt+L, but you can change it from there [19:37] and its not possible to copy database files and use on a program within ubuntu, with support for ms sql? Sounds dumb maybe but its for my DB course at school, im newbie in it [19:37] asfjdiashdgasfd: lshw -c multimedia [19:37] sivel, Gummi_ seems i'm missing xscreensaver-command-lock or something [19:37] when I try to modprobe i2c_i801 for temperature support, dmesg has the following error: "ACPI: I/O resource 0000:00:1f.3 [0x3080-0x309f] conflicts with ACPI region SMB0 [0x3080-0x3097] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver". What should I do? [19:37] btw, what would be a "correct" sources.list for the current 9.10 ubuntu? [19:37] So no one here uses WINE 1.1.32 on Ubuntu 9.10? [19:37] eli_: Correct? [19:38] i think my system is a little bit starnge, 'cause i used kubuntu, then decided to switch to gnome, and just uninstalled kde and installed gnome-desktop-envi. or is the source.list for kubuntu and ubuntu the same? [19:38] eli_, the one with karmic written all over it [19:38] DaskreeCh, the default [19:38] Fishscene: i use 1.0.1, works fine [19:38] eli_, the source.list should be the exactly the same [19:38] Gummi_, thanks === test is now known as Guest5371 [19:38] eli_: here's mine [19:38] eli_: http://pastebin.com/f43cfeb0e [19:39] ActionParsnip, if i use VMWare workstation will it actually use MY devices and not emulate them? [19:39] Parsnip: Yes, I can download and install that easily. However, I need to test MS Office 2007 with Wine 1.1.32 (Wine 1.0.1 does not work). [19:39] eli_: something like http://cracky.pastebin.com/f9d57fca [19:39] dvi nvidia card + cheap dell flat panel vga = washed out color. does anyone know how to make nvidia cards not do this? i believe this is a very common problem but i can't find a simple solution :'( [19:39] Or is there a WINE channel I can go to ask these questions? [19:39] ViaNocturn85: sorry - add "mbeierl" to the start of your message or I won't necessarily see your message to me :) I'm answering your question in a moment [19:40] eli_: if you use the manager from Packagekit/synaptic then it's pretty easy to default back to standard sources [19:40] Fishscene: #winehq [19:40] Fishscene: #winehq [19:40] Excellent. Thank you. [19:40] fifafrazer, epinky, thank you! I think I figured it out [19:40] mbeierl: sorry [19:40] it's sooo bad, nvidia driver thinks my monitor is a television so like, the text on github is impossible to read lol [19:40] i need to install moonlight but i can't get access to the website (when i try..firefox shuts down) [19:41] can anybody help? [19:41] hi. someone knows dazuko here? [19:41] Concretesledge: you will always get emulated hardware, even in vmware [19:41] ActionParsnip, do you think my sound will work with VMWARE [19:41] ViaNocturn85: so, no, there is no database program written for Linux that allows it to open up the raw database files of MS SQL. The data format of the files is copyright Microsoft, and is not documented anywhere. It is especially important for a database to keeps its internals private so that it is harder to steal the data from the raw files [19:41] jart`: Bleah I'm on a 640x480 res now because X and nvidia think that's a good thing [19:42] mbeierl: so basically I have been screwed into using Vista or sumthing instead of using open sourse database? hahahaha [19:42] ViaNocturn85: I am sorry to say that by using a commercial database like MS SQL in the course, you are required to use it under its terms, and cannot make it easier for yourself by running it under Linux. It's too bad, but afak, that's the only way [19:42] Concretesledge: possibly, give it a go, its not something ive used at length but am hoping to study it thoroughly later [19:42] what does one use instead of netselect-apt in karmic? [19:42] ViaNocturn85: there are open source databases out there, many of them. Look at MySQL for one [19:42] ActionParsnip, u want i post my problem there? [19:42] Hi all: where do I ask questions about compviz on ubuntu? [19:43] lavida: huh? [19:43] ViaNocturn85: but if your course says MS SQL, then you cannot ignore the MS part of it, sorry [19:43] kusznir: compiz? [19:43] i get regular crashes when i copy big files from windows to ubuntu. i have to reboot. is this on my system only? [19:43] cj: no such channel (I'm the only one in it) [19:43] mbeierl: Oh well, I appreciate your help, thanks [19:43] kusznir: erhm, "do you mean compiz"? [19:43] ActionParsnip, u gave me a link http://pastebin.com/m26607cbe and i found some post about my problem there [19:43] ViaNocturn85, you can convert your mssql database into something else that an opensource db can use [19:43] anyone here experienced problems trying to install vim? [19:43] cj: Yes, sorry. [19:43] (in 9.10) [19:43] bassliner, no, apt-get install vim [19:43] kusznir: here should be fine. what's the problem? [19:44] frostburn: tried that of course [19:44] bassliner, did you use update-alternatives [19:44] bassliner: vim should be installed by default, if you want more functions in vim, install the vim-full package. [19:44] frostburn: no [19:44] ok..could anybody try to visit http://go-mono.com/moonlight using firefox and tell me what happens [19:44] ActionParsnip, opened by u for me or something... i need to put my prob there' [19:44] Pici: when i type vim it tells me i could install one of those packages like vim-gtk, vim-nox, vim and so on [19:44] I set up a thin client on a ubuntu 9.10 system and installed the compiz config scripts. Got the cube desktop thing working fine on my main console, but when I log into the thin client (ltsp), all the desktop windows are inverted and reversed. The clickable areas are still correct, though. [19:44] ActionParsnipm, ? [19:45] bassliner: hm. Thought it used to be in the default selections. [19:45] lavida: you need newer packages to satisfy the deps for the app, are you fully updated? if so you may need some PPAs for the deps [19:45] Pici: never experienced that in ubuntu, think something's real broke there [19:45] Pici: yea me too [19:45] Actually, I'm not sure about the clickable areas statement. [19:45] i have one grub loading another after choosing ubuntu how do I get back to only one grub menu? [19:45] ActionParsnip, thanks [19:45] bassliner, Pici you need to use update-alternatives to set the symlink to the proper vim you want to se [19:45] use [19:46] frostburn: No, you shouldn't have to do that. [19:46] ActionParsnip, im fully updated... well i need some different repos. for deps [19:46] DaskreeCh: yea my experience with nvidia+linux has been, like if you don't have quality monitors and hardware, you're in for a world of hurt [19:46] frostburn: you think that the behaviour of my newly installed ubuntu is right and i can't get a vi to open when typing "vim" and i can't install it via vim-nox AND vim from the default sources.lst? i pretty much doubt that... [19:47] ok..could anybody try to visit http://go-mono.com/moonlight using firefox and tell me what happens [19:47] bassliner: does vi work?

[19:51] lavida: you need to find PPAs with the versions you need, showing your current sources is useless [19:52] if i want a comand to run at startup, what file should i include it?

Didnt realise that the trash on an external drive is located in the /.Trash-1000 [20:11] seyfarth: i'd look at what imports both support, one may support WAB files and you can import easily [20:11] yuehai: You can enable kernel mode setting for intel in 9.04 or just upgrade to 9.10 [20:11] zaidka: or if I can ask another way, what do you use this file for? [20:11] JonathanEllis: Yes, its silly, but it is what it is. [20:11] thanks again... [20:11] mka: my modem sometimes disconnects and i find that it created another device /dev/ttyACM1 [20:11] seyfarth: export to something like csv, pure text [20:11] Jordan_U, okay, thanks! [20:11] Pici: Not silly - just takes a bit of finding [20:11] frostburn: just for the record: I tried your vim suggestions on a new installed karmic: after installing vim-full vi worked, vim not, I had to additionally install vim - obviously by default only vim-tiny is installed [20:11] yuehai: np [20:11] mka: so every once in a while i have to use pppconfig to change my device [20:12] installing the git-core is different correct? [20:12] Pici: It might be worth updating ubottus factoid. [20:12] zaidka: thats so bad [20:12] mahngiel: If you want the revision controll system you want git-core === Lexi is now known as Guest78620 [20:12] zaidka: I never use that command nor the wvdial command anymore [20:12] Jordan_U: doesn't that get rid of synaptic, or did i read something wrong [20:12] ActionParsnip: it is, and i done a lot of times before.Is it posible that windows error or something [20:13] zaidka: jaunty autodetected my usb modem and configured it for me [20:13] mahngiel: You read something wrong, git has nothing to do with synaptic. [20:13] has xdmcp been remove from karmic koala? [20:13] help1: not sure, i dislike the idea of wubi so avoid it [20:13] mahngiel: What are you trying to do? [20:13] guntbert, i did the same thing installed vim [20:13] or how do I enable remote logins? [20:13] Jordan_U: trying to get GLIB [20:14] Hey all. A 32 bit Ubuntu can not address memory over 4G, is that right? [20:14] mka: it used to work fine in jaunty. im facing this problem in karmic.. thanks though [20:14] michael_campbell: nope, with pae it can [20:14] michael_campbell: unless you use the server kernel with PAE enabled [20:14] I get an authentication failure when I try to boot from my Live CD... Any Suggestions? [20:14] mahngiel: Why are you trying to get glib via git? glib comes with Ubuntu and you probably don't want to install the version from git unless you really know what you are doing [20:14] Never heard of PAE, but I'll googling. Thanks! [20:14] frostburn: though it seems a bit strange to have to install vim *after* having used it a lot :-) [20:14] cj_1: does the CD pass self verification [20:14] detrix: you machine as a server? [20:15] michael_campbell, it depends on your hardware and if the kernel has been compiled with PAE support, but yes you can access up to 64GB of memory with 386 kernel [20:15] server irc.europnet.org [20:15] Hi, how do I import settings file into compiz? [20:15] cj_1, did you test the cd? md5'ed the iso? [20:15] detrix: install openSSH [20:15] llua, ActionParsnip insm0d : Thanks! [20:15] Yes it passed [20:15] michael_campbell: It can if you install linux-image-generic-pae [20:15] Jordan_U: i tried to install it through Synaptic, because the prgm i'm trying to install aborts because GTK is not >=1.2 [20:15] mka: yes both machines have openssh [20:15] Jordan_U: but synaptic fails [20:16] I am using a different keyboard now my PC bell is ringing on any character I use [20:16] mahngiel: What program are you trying to install? [20:16] Jordan_U, is that all it takes; an apt-get install? [20:16] hi all [20:16] mka: my desktop is 9.04, laptop is 9.10 [20:16] guntbert, perhaps, but it was always just a broken symlink, not that the package wasn't there [20:16] Jordan_U: hehehe. dopewars. i'm basically doing it to figure out and learn how the f to install through the Terminal... well, compile i mean [20:16] detrix: can you ping one maching from another one? [20:16] how do I debug the ubuntu installer (is there some command I can enter on the first screen of the live cd)? [20:17] cj_1: when do you get the authentication failure? [20:17] I am using a different keyboard now my PC bell is ringing on any character I use. How can I fix this? It's really annoying! [20:17] when I try to login === akher0n is now known as akheron [20:17] michael_campbell: That is all it takes for the pae kernel to show up and be usable from the grub menu, you might need to remove the non pae kernel package for the pae kernel to boot by default [20:17] brasero made a copy of my dvd .. is it iso ? [20:17] it is on a power PC (old imac) [20:17] file image says data type [20:17] I am using a different keyboard now my PC bell is ringing on any character I use. How can I fix this? It's really annoying! [20:17] cj_1: the live cd should autologon, if you restart the x server it will go to the login screen, timeout and autologin [20:18] mahngiel, compiling from source is easy if you have all the dependancies and some paitence. Just unpack the tarball and run the configure script with proper arguments then run make [20:18] I can login through ssh. but I do not see the xdmcp option at the login in screen, and I see no way of allowing remote login through xdmcp. [20:18] Jordan_U, I see. Thanks. [20:18] mahngiel: sudo apt-get install dopewars [20:18] Hey Guys, I'm trying to install a copy of Ubuntu that I snagged from a torrent site, but I really need a CD key before I start the install - I'de hate to get halfway through and realize that I don't have the key. Anyone know where I could find a key gen? Thanks a lot! [20:18] Jordan_U: i got to the first step, to ./configure; and that's where it failed. and the ReadMe says that you need GLIB [20:18] axisys: you can use dd if you like [20:18] michael_campbell: np [20:18] i wanted to make and iso of the dvd .. so i insert it and braseor kicked in and said i will copy it for you.. [20:18] What does md5sum file in wubi instaliation? [20:18] wysiwyg: there is no serial needed [20:18] wysiwyg, Ubuntu doesn't need cd keys [20:18] ActionParsnip: what does brasero do? [20:18] insm0d: i understand the theory, but need to do it a few times successfully before i really know what i'm doing [20:18] ActionParsnip: does it make an iso when said copy ? [20:18] axisys: it burns CDs [20:18] mahngiel: You should always try synaptic / apt first when looking for an application [20:19] !brasero | axisys [20:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about brasero [20:19] help1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [20:19] axisys: maybe [20:19] Jordan-U: i looked there AND in the software center [20:19] mka: burn into cd ? how about making an iso of a cd ? [20:19] but, when I installed windows I needed a key. [20:19] axisys: try to use "file filename" to check if ever its an ISO image [20:19] mka: brasero can do that ? [20:19] axisys: sure: dd if=/dev/dvd of=~/image.iso [20:19] mahngiel: Do you have universe enabled, because the package certainly is there [20:19] they're basically the same... [20:19] mka: it says data [20:19] frostburn: right - 6MB symlinks :-) [20:19] wysiwyg: Ubuntu is free software, needs no keys. [20:20] axisys: of course it can copy [20:20] !info dopewars | mahngiel [20:20] mahngiel: dopewars (source: dopewars): drug-dealing game set in streets of New York City. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.5.12-8 (karmic), package size 155 kB, installed size 428 kB [20:20] wysiwyg, welcome to the World of Free Software [20:20] wysiwyg: ubuntu is not windows [20:20] axisys: I am not sure if ever it HAS TO BE iso [20:20] ActionParsnip: i know dd .. but what does brasero do when u asked to copy the dvd? does it have capability to make iso? [20:20] <_ULNX64_> US chip maker Intel has agreed to pay rival AMD $1.25bn as part of a deal to settle all outstanding legal disputes [20:20] axisys: no idea, ive always done it that way [20:20] Jordan_U: yes, all the locations are enabled [20:20] World of Free Software? Is that a Ubuntu version of WoW? [20:20] axisys: yes it is capable [20:20] does anyone know how to set the page width in a standard html file? [20:21] wysiwyg: you didn't "snag" any copy of ubuntu. actually, if anything, i'd recommend downloading one (a completely, legally free one) from www.ubuntu.com, or at least checking the one you have against the published MD5 sums to make sure it's unaltered. [20:21] wysiwyg, I guess ;) [20:21] axisys: http://tuxarena.blogspot.com/2009/03/4-ways-to-create-cddvd-iso-images-in.html , check point 2 [20:21] mahngiel: What is the output from "sudo apt-get install dopewars"? ( please use pastebin, do NOT paste the output into the channel ) [20:21] Jordan_U: so with the file there, who can i get some hands-on experience compiling [20:21] hi everyone [20:21] axisys: making an iso in linux is like sneezing ... dead simple and automatic [20:21] epinky: looking .. [20:22] how do you restart the xserver on a powerpc (mac) [20:22] Jordan_U: it's there, you are right. but now my filesys is locked down. but i don't have anything running hm [20:22] cj_1: its the same as i386 or x68_64 [20:22] hi nilo [20:22] I'm a bit confused. I'm looking to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my laptop, as it's a bit older. I'm being told that it requires an Atom processor; is this true? More fundamentally, I'm looking for a distro that is lower-powered, for my older laptop. I considered Xubuntu, but I'd like something more familiar. [20:22] cj_1: i'd guess the same way as on a pc... sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart [20:22] wysiwyg, free software as we know it today has been around since the 80s. [20:22] hi , a friend of mine installed ubuntu 9.10 desktop, and apparently the graphic environment did not install properly [20:22] cj_1: alt+k+printscreen [20:22] I've just install ubuntu karmik, all is good less sound, ¡ I've not sound!!! [20:22] is that something common ? [20:22] was there some weird but in any recent update? my eth1 (wireless card) disappeared completely [20:22] what can i do??? [20:22] ill try it [20:22] mka: that was not what I am asking.. i am asking if brasero can do that.. it takes extension .toc .. not .iso and file filename says data instead of iso [20:23] FrozenFire[work]: i have no problems on my 6 year old laptop. are you sure you're not on a typewriter? :) [20:23] mahngiel, I haven't installed it yet. Right now I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, and it's dead slow. [20:23] nilo: run: sudo lshw -C sound you can read the product line and websearch for guides [20:23] FrozenFire[work]: how do you have it installed? [20:24] FrozenFire[work], turn off all the desktop effects [20:24] FrozenFire: I had to switch back to 9.04 [20:24] Hello, I have a bluetooth dongle for my pc and I want to use my pc's headset as a headset for my cellphone over blutooth. Is it possible, any ideas what I need to do or what I need to get? [20:24] axisys: what do you mean by "it takes" are you burning an ISO or creating one? [20:24] mahngiel, primarily, the issue is that they system itself is hogging the power that I need for things like FireFox [20:24] so wait, why would I want Ubuntu when I own a copy of windows... there is no way it is any good. [20:24] It's on-disk, though it's a dist-upgrade from Jaunty [20:24] wysiwyg: then don't use it. can i ask you a question?

[20:25] wysiwyg, you don't own a copy of windows. [20:25] Delano, cause its not pidgin? [20:25] I can't believe Canonical actually endorses that crap [20:25] wysiwyg, you own a CD with windows on it. and you own a license to use windows. [20:25] well, I torrented that as well. [20:25] wysiwyg: you own a license [20:25] wysiwyg, you only own a serial number. anyone can get a copy of windows for free [20:25] !ot [20:25] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[20:25] I have a bluetooth dongle for my pc and I want to use my pc's headset as a headset for my cellphone over blutooth. Is it possible, any ideas what I need to do or what I need to get? [20:25] im trying to remaster ubuntu, i want to change the font color of the isolinux menu (try or install menu). tips? ideas? [20:26] wysiwyg, just use what you want and just ask for support and help if you need it [20:26] Squirm, pidgin has its quirks, but at least IT DOESN'T BREAK THE SECOND TIME AFTER LOADING IT LIKE EMPATHY DOES. [20:26] Delano: some love it, some hate it [20:26] !caps [20:26] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [20:26] Who can I contact? [20:26] From Canonical [20:26] Please, that piece of rubbish HAS to go [20:26] Delano: the empathy team, canonical don't make it [20:26] Delano, lol. I scrapped it as i loaded karmic anyway. Downloaded Pidgin 2.6.summing [20:26] !ot [20:26] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [20:26] No, I don't want to improve it [20:26] Delano, call the PR folks at canonical [20:26] I want it gone [20:26] axisys: yes it says ".toc" for CDs not DVDs but if you click on "Properties" you can select ".iso" [20:26] Delano, just sudo apt-get install pidgin [20:27] Delano: try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic [20:27] hi everyone. i just installed KK 9.10; it says grub 2 is default. i have grub 1.9 beta 4? why is that? [20:27] rjune, addy/number? [20:27] has anyone used ubuntu remix with a netbook and had it with dual monitors? When i have windows in my 2nd monitor, and i then go back to the first monitor to bring the menu into focus.. everythign on the second monitor minimises, is there something i can do to stop this? it's irritating. [20:27] Delano, and use that [20:27] Delano, http://www.canonical.com [20:27] Delano: don't use it, i think firefox is a hunk of junk but i dont come i here and broadcast it [20:27] can't you just keep using pidgin? [20:27] bikidibi: "grub 2" is used as a generic term for second-generation grub. 1.9 beta 4 is an example of that. [20:27] skx: thats what i figured [20:27] ActionParsnip, why not? [20:27] bikidibi, grub 1.9 is in essence grub 2. grub 2 technically isn't even stable yet. [20:28] axisys: available formarts are: .toc , .iso , .raw , .cue [20:28] !ot | please [20:28] please: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [20:28] LjL, yes. [20:28] ActionParsnip, so what's the problem? [20:28] LjL but there is nothing graphically special about it. it looks the same [20:28] ActionParsnip, isn't the whole notion of Open Source about airing views and gripes so people can deal with 'em? [20:28] guntbert, that's a mighty big block size =] [20:28] bikidibi: uhm, there should be something graphically special? [20:28] Delano: because it achieves nothing at all, i know i can just remove it and install a different browser, just like you can remove empathy and install pidgin [20:28] LjL i have green hair an a jewel where my belly button should be [20:28] Delano: not really. [20:28] Delano, yes but not here since this is the Ubuntu Support Channel [20:28] Hi, how exactly can I make a de facto proxy stay on ubuntu, regardless of whether the Network Proxy setting is On or Off???/ Help Help :) [20:28] skx: just trying to work that out, stay tuned [20:28] frostburn: thought so ... [20:28] anyway, a good discussion for #ubuntu-offtopic Delano [20:28] ---> that way over there! [20:29] anyone? [20:29] LjL its only text. no graphics. linux mint boot has a little bit of logo thingie in it [20:29] Delano: have I enlightened you? [20:29] Help, gnome wont read my keyboard, KDE will but i cant even switch to a terminal with CTRL + Fx help please [20:29] bikidibi: i don't see how that has anything to do with being or not being version 2, though [20:29] hey [20:29] 'black bkgrd white letters [20:29] bikidibi: the Mint folks just probably spent more time making a fancy bootscreen, and that's all [20:29] I am using a different keyboard now my PC bell is ringing on any character I use. How can I fix this? It's really annoying! [20:30] ActionParsnip, hardly [20:30] has anyone used ubuntu remix with a netbook and had it with dual monitors? When i have windows in my 2nd monitor, and i then go back to the first monitor to bring the menu into focus.. everythign on the second monitor minimises, is there something i can do to stop this? it's irritating. (i'm hoping people just missed it( [20:30] petro: no [20:30] I have a bluetooth dongle for my pc and I want to use my pc's headset as a headset for my cellphone over blutooth. Is it possible, any ideas what I need to do or what I need to get? [20:30] Delano: alternatives exist, install and use them, don't wade in here kicking and screaming like a child [20:30] what's the linux mint channel? or any channel where i can find an ubuntu remasterer? m [20:30] LjL... i dual boot mint7 and kk 9.10.. it seems my mint boots faster; but it has a whole lotta stuff in it. kde gnome and a bunch of apps [20:30] lame [20:30] !mint > djustice [20:30] djustice, please see my private message [20:30] bikidibi: You can use any jpeg, png, or .tg file as a background image for grub2 [20:30] !mintsupport | djustice [20:30] djustice: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [20:30] linux makes everything so difficult..

[20:31] ActionParsnip, and it is a big deal, 'cuz Canonical wants to make it standard [20:31] I am using a different keyboard now my PC bell is ringing on any character I use. How can I fix this? It's really annoying! [20:31] Delano: i think if you review, its a fair summary [20:31] dutchbuntu, waar woon jy? [20:31] md5sum file was not correct. Waited for wubi to download iso again, got error. Why my iso image is wrong, it does not mater wubi downloads it or myself, it is still wrong. [20:31] MOVE IT TO #ubuntu-offtopic for goodness sake, it's not hard [20:31] ok, thaks Jordan_U and ubottu .. i will look into it. i was hoping everything would have been done [20:31] Delano, OT as well [20:31] Squirm: chances are slim [20:31] other than these little things... KK rocks! [20:32] Pici: thx :) [20:32] hi are there any USB versions of ubuntu ? [20:32] \quit [20:32] bikidibi: Unless you dual boot the grub menu doesn't show at all in 9.10 [20:32] burned new ubuntu 910 cd, won't boot? [20:32] how can I proceed to properly install a gforce video adapter from a new karmic install ? [20:32] bikidibi: The idea is to get to the real splash screen as soon as possible [20:32] whileimhere: uhm, you can install Ubuntu on a USB drive, as long as your BIOS can HD-boot USB drives, and you can also run a "live" version from USB [20:32] help1: why are you relying on Wubi to get an ISO? [20:32] Delano: standard means nothing, you can remove any app you like,just because its standard means nothing. Firefox is standard but its a hunk of junk and chews system resources like its going out of fashion but im not here moaning "Firefox sucks, i want to email canonical" you sound like an idiot [20:32] mka: What about running a windows program through wine that has that support, im sure ive seen a program somewhere [20:32] Balsaq: have you verified it? does it even get as far as showing a menu where you can verify it? [20:33] Jordan_U: i dual boot. i removed my vista partition. now i dual boot linux. kk/mint [20:33] Heh [20:33] whileimhere: use unetbootin [20:33] LjL will that allow me to install it to the HD? The pc only has USB no CD [20:33] ActionParsnip, you're right [20:33] ActionParsnip, soz [20:33] Delano: you can add this repo: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu karmic main [20:33] how can i get gnome to recognize key strokes again? [20:33] Squirm: I got a feeling that wine should be banned [20:33] mka why? [20:34] Delano: and import the keys using this command: sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 67265eb522bdd6b1c69e66ed7fb8bee0a1f196a8 [20:34] Squirm: because wine messes up with linux [20:34] great work on karmic koala! altho i had some problems. sudo apt-get update/upgrade did it all after a restart [20:34] Delano: and you can install pidgin from the devlopers repo [20:34] is there a way to allow evolution to properly search its messages? [20:34] ko [20:34] Squirm: and only works on weak windows applications [20:34] Delano: uninstall empathy, distaster over [20:34] how do I boot 9.10 into text mode only? [20:34] whileimhere: you can use "unetbootin" to store the CD image on USB, then boot from that and install, yes. [20:34] mka, it works for some people. Like it or not, windows will always be there, and people will always write programs for it. [20:34] Squirm: I once tried Nero it never worked [20:34] ActionParsnip, yeah, I have pidgin already [20:34] ActionParsnip, it just annoyed me [20:35] mka: doom3 runs flawlessly [20:35] what's the kernel parameter to boot Ubuntu into text mode? [20:35] mka: weak? [20:35] insm0d: Wiiiineeee [20:35] mka: well, im playing World of Warcraft on wine, i think wine makes it easier for people to adjust and try retain some programs they always used. But im interested in the headset thing [20:35] is there any channey for installation problems? [20:35] select "xterm" when you enter your username and password [20:35] LjL no [20:35] Gardeneer, yes and you are in it ;) [20:36] mka: thanks [20:36] i mean... one specific :) [20:36] how come there is no xchat or irc client in karmic K? not everyone knows how to look for the buntu rooms [20:36] but i see not [20:36] hello? [20:36] I need the kernel parameter to start 9.10 into text mode [20:36] bikidibi: install xchat and use that [20:36] hey an ubuntu boot disk can write to ntfs cant it? [20:36] or boot it into text mode [20:36] Gardeneer, just share your problems with us. Someone will be able to help you [20:36] bikidibi: empathy supports irc, but it would be nice to have an easy way to access ubuntu irc out of the box. [20:36] polemon: its booting the gui atm [20:36] ja det er FAEN MEG nice [20:37] ? [20:37] compix-fusion [20:37] Botanic: of course that's the standard [20:37] ActionParsnip: it should of been by default with the ubuntu channels automagically setted [20:37] bikidibi: it would get a lot busier in this room tho... :P [20:37] 2 Q's about Gnome-Do. Used to be able to keep it over windows. Now I can only hide it or keep it under the window. 2- weather applet: keeps resseting to alma, IA.

[20:37] I want it to boot into text mode only, whenever i need it to [20:37] bikidibi: maybe, you can use pidgin for irc too [20:37] /etc/inittab [20:37] read it [20:37] hello [20:37] you gotta change a 5 to a 3 [20:37] axisys: you happy now? [20:37] how can i make english spell check to work instead of the hebrew one - after formatting it stopped again to work [20:37] if i remember right [20:38] ? [20:38] ActionParsnip: pidgin was removed. we now have sympathy [20:38] !torrents [20:38] 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). [20:38] bikidibi: you can use the pidgin repo [20:38] Botanic: you remember wrong - see !runlevel [20:38] mgv2: maybe you were meant to learn Hebrew [20:38] in Kate -> Settings -> COnfigure Kate -> Extensions -> Scripts I get just a grey window where I can't do anything, is it just me, or is this a known problem/bug/etc? [20:38] If wubi does failure, what other way should i use? [20:38] i know. but new users and converts are not so linux friendly [20:38] Botanic: there is no /etc/inittab in 9.10 [20:39] mgv2, install aspell-en [20:39] ah [20:39] update-rc.d -f gdm remove [20:39] is it somehow possible to repair file XY if i get this error message "ls: cannot access XY: Input/output error" ? [20:39] then should proly do it [20:39] Botanic: you don't understand [20:39] help1: Get a CD from a friend [20:39] a new installation in a 120 GB free disk [20:39] alt+k+prt scrn right? [20:39] bikidibi: its still an option [20:39] i don't want permanent removal of booting into graphical mode [20:39] always says not enought space [20:39] bikidibi: Empathy does IRC, so an IRC client is included by default. [20:39] help1: download using firefox from ubuntu.com [20:39] ActionParsnip: if ubuntu was built for new users and converts. it should be made as user friendly as possible [20:39] i just want it from time to time, now I remember there's a kernel option for that [20:39] what protocol can i use to do videocalls with pidgin?? [20:39] which one is it? [20:39] pidgin is still in the repos, just not installed by default (sudo apt-get install pidgin will do it) [20:40] Gardeneer, how did you partition that disk? [20:40] Hi I have a theme loaded in Emerald theme manager, how do I enable/apply it [20:40] mka: i did this [20:40] bikidibi: and that is to say .... ? [20:40] mka: its just a point [20:40] polemon: that kernel option worked on other distros (3), but it doesn't work on ubuntu as far as I know [20:40] so, what should I do then? [20:40] does anybody know a command to repair files? something like fsck just for files not the filesystem..? [20:40] help1: so where does Wubi get into the picture? [20:40] is there a way to allow evolution to properly search its messages? [20:40] polemon: i know in centos there is a boot in inittab dunno how it is on ubuntu now [20:41] 1st time by default, 2nd 60GB for / - 55 for /home and swap, 3rd 60GB for / - swap - 55 for /home [20:41] Authentication failure at login - tried tab+k+prnt screen to restart xserver - no luck [20:41] any sugs? [20:41] bikidibi: the Ubuntu wiki has detailed instructions for using IRC. adding default options that many people may not want is not a good way to go, IMO. [20:41] don't tell me there's no kernel option to boot into text mode.... [20:41] polemon: you could just install the server edition [20:41] the default is command line [20:41] mneptok: well i know. but you have to enter every info. fill out forms. it doesn't automatically take you here [20:41] not the gui [20:41] bikidibi: ok then [20:41] OMG< [20:41] Gardeneer: you can get away with 10Gb / easily unless you are running a webserver [20:41] polemon: boot to a lower default runlevel [20:41] polemon: you could always boot into recovery mode [20:41] just burned ubuntu onto a cd, can i know run it, while i am on this xp pro comuter? [20:42] polemon: there is single mode [20:42] Any you have a tested way of installing ubuntu without cddrive/usb or floppy drive? [20:42] ActionParsnip, i know but i think there is no problem with more space [20:42] trayzz: check the output of dmesg for more detail, it seems to be a damaged disk blocks [20:42] mneptok: !runlevels do not work as expected [20:42] junkyard: you mean from a 2nd partition? [20:42] junkyard: you mean update? [20:42] Why firefox shows me this error when opening a .deb?: "/tmp/dpm_0.4.1~welemski1_i386-7.deb could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences." It used to work with dDebi. [20:42] Gardeneer: you can always resize I guess, you'll find you dont need nearly that much space [20:43] hello, does anyone know how to install a newer version of boinc than the one in the package manager? [20:43] Botanic, Well I will install it in a separate partition, but I have not partitioned anything yet. [20:43] Is there a way to see if two folders are exactly the same? Properties in Nautilus just shows size down to tenths of a Mb. [20:43] in Kate -> Settings -> COnfigure Kate -> Extensions -> Scripts I get just a grey window where I can't do anything, is it just me, or is this a known problem/bug/etc? [20:43] okay i signed in sympthy thru google account. how come the room tab cannot open? [20:43] Squirm, back when i tried to find out how to "simulate" a bluetooth headset in linux, i had no luck; now i've had another quick look on google, and found nothing (except some unanaswered questions in forums). [20:43] Botanic, I want to dual boot win/ubuntu [20:43] junkyard: you can configure grub to boot the iso, boot the installer iso and install that way [20:43] polemon, if you want to turn GDM off - thus booting to text mode see http://paste.ubuntu.com/317232/ [20:43] ActionParsnip, but the problem is that always i'm installing it, whatever the partition table i choose, always fails for "not enough space" [20:43] anyone successful loading ubuntu on an old imac? [20:43] nvm, googling [20:44] i am a long time ubuntu user and this will be a daunting task for a new user. [20:44] LjL: Thanks, i've also looked at google, all I can find is how to use a bluetooth headset with your pc, not pc headset as cellphone headset [20:44] gasull: reinstall ubufox [20:44] îàáã àú äùìééèä ëùàìéé àú îáéèä [20:44] cool another ubuntu chan on this server [20:44] Botanic, I wasn't aware grub can do that. But grub is not installed at present. I believe there is a wingrub [20:44] i know i can do it but its just a waste of time. other than that great work [20:44] mka: I download iso image from distro with mozilla. Mount to d- tools wubi starts, and downloads image again. In the end of the downloads and instals after this it asks to reboot. And in boot of linux i get, 'the disk surfice bay be damaged' or something similar.

[20:45] ahh [20:45] yea [20:45] Gardeneer: keep kernels low, saves space [20:45] ok, let me check it out. [20:45] I don't want to change it permanently [20:45] junkyard: it can load an iso as bootable [20:45] Squirm: it has to be said it's also difficult to find proper search terms for it on google, as it's very easy to end up with a lot of documents about the first thing you said [20:45] trayzz: yep, use pastebin [20:46] guntbert: why did they change the runlevels in ububntu? [20:46] LjL: true that, oh well. Im off, gnight [20:46] hi, I'm wondering about Ubuntu's extremely poor performance whilst watching videos with VLC in Jaunty 64. [20:46] I followed the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch but I don't get a boot menu like on the offical liveCD how can I get a boot menu not a prompt? [20:46] help1: I dont understand the wubi part but you can confirm that the downloaded iso's md5sum is the same as the one ubuntu.com is giving you [20:46] epinky: i've put it in a textfile, see my pm pls [20:46] !runlevel | Botanic beyond that - no idea [20:46] Botanic beyond that - no idea: 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. [20:47] help1: if that is the case then the problem might be that you burned it to a scratched cd [20:47] for fun then! :P [20:47] ActionParsnip, i don't know how to explain it... a free 120 GB hard disk, 1 ubuntu cd, no more installed, and always is "not enough space" [20:47] help1: or you burned it at a very high speed [20:47] help1: or wubi is tired [20:47] mka: I am not burnig cd i use Demon toos to mouns image [20:48] help1: why do you use wubi? [20:48] mka: I am not burnig cd i use Demon tools to mount image [20:48] Gardeneer, do you have anything else on the disk? If not, try nuking the MBR with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/[hdd] bs=512 count=1 [20:48] mka: what can i use diferent [20:49] help1: why dont you partition the hdd and put install ubuntu normally [20:49] okay then later everyone.. [20:49] great work on karmic [20:49] so [20:49] I followed the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch but I don't get a boot menu like on the offical liveCD how can I get a boot menu not a prompt?

I'm wondering if there's a way to SSH into that box to start video [20:58] any suggestions? [20:58] mah2223: Xp probably whiped out grub [20:59] The box is running Slackware, if that makes any difference [20:59] yeah that was my first thought, that it was a grub thing [20:59] mah2223: You can re-install grub from a liveCD [20:59] mah2223, which ubuntu version ? [20:59] !grub | mah2223 [20:59] mah2223: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [20:59] i fire up a program in Python. How can i fire up a program so that python gives me back the cursor? [21:00] i love you all ill bbs and tell u how it went [21:00] tjingboem: python program.py & [21:00] BluesKaj: The guide for restoring after windows works with both ( maybe I should make that clear on the wiki ) [21:00] tjingboem: put a & at the end of the command [21:00] I need help fixing my microphone, I cant get it to work. it has worked in previous linux installations. whats wrong? [21:00] Jordan_U, ok , that's a good idea [21:01] Jordan_U, I wasn't sure [21:01] Deathspike, not an answer for empathy but consider using pidgin instead. Empathy is somehow lacking for me after using pidgin for so long. Or maybe look for a ppa for empathy [21:01] insm0d, until yesterday kubuntu 9.04 works properly and today, seagate tools said that it's OK :( [21:01] no i mean when im in Python itself then fire up another program. then i want the python cursor back [21:01] c3l: maybe your voice was raised too much when you sang the last time [21:01] mka, maybe :o how do I fix it? [21:02] Any way to recover deleted files on ext4? The threads I found recommend programs that the livecd doesn't have, and obviously I don't want to risk overwriting things [21:02] c3l: whisper? [21:02] mka, ubuntu cant find any input at all... [21:02] Koenigsegg: You can install programs in the liveCD ( they get stored in ram ) [21:02] Koenigsegg: What happened to the drive? [21:02] tjingboem: join #python [21:03] Koenigsegg: Sorry, I thought you were someone else ( with the "what happened to your drive" ) [21:03] Jordan_U, well, I happened to the drive. Trrying to copy things between /old and /new, and I thought I was in /new.. [21:04] k [21:04] Koenigsegg: recovering deleted files is usually an "experimental" affair ... use it as a desperate measure [21:04] hello, I'm looking for help with VLC in ubuntu jaunty 64. For some reason video decoding seems to make the whole OS pretty unresponsive. === jamesguthrie is now known as jamesch [21:05] jamesch: What graphics card do you have? === useless is now known as Guest68426 [21:05] Jordan_U: ATI Radeon of sorts... [21:05] mka, I haven't touched the drive after accidental delete in file manager. Just wish trash would have been used [21:05] jamesch, vlc is fine for me and my 32bit but I prefer smplayer. [21:06] Koenigsegg: oh? so thrash was not used? [21:06] jamesch, is it using xv or x11 [21:06] Can i jump form ubuntu gui to AVlinux, it is on deb. I have no cd rom. ONly cd images. is it posible somehow? === Guest68426 is now known as uselesss [21:06] jamesch, if its set to Default for video output, try setting it to xv [21:06] http://www.jewbuntu.com/ [21:07] duffydack: maybe it's a 64-bit compatibility thing... Windowed video playback is jeryk, when I go fullscreen it takes like 5-8 seconds before I get video on the screen. [21:07] mka, The trash window that coomes up when I click on the desktop(livecd) icon is empty at least [21:07] kronix: no advertising [21:07] duffydack: I'll look at that quickly. [21:08] Koenigsegg: did you delete the file while on LiveCD? [21:08] why cant ubuntu recognize my microphone? it has worked in other linux dists [21:08] Anyone got Jewbuntu installed? [21:08] Does anyone know how to permanently set proxy envir. settings? [21:08] mka, yes. My ubuntu wouldn't boot [21:08] Hi all, not sure if I should ask this here or on #debian, but I'm running ubuntu, so I'll try here first: I have made a .deb package for work, it's got some programs in it that we use here in the office. Using the .deb to install/uninstall works great. The catch is that these programs get updated on a semi regular basis. The deb package gets installed as root, but the programs don't get run as root, so the program cannot update itself while run as the u [21:08] !ot | jedivulcan [21:08] jedivulcan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

I'm having trouble deleting a user I created to test some file permissions. I delete it in the Users/Groups GUI, and when I reboot he's back. Ideas? [21:09] Koenigsegg: so you mounted a hard drive partition while on Live CD and deleted a file? right? [21:09] mka, yes [21:09] <_qUaNtUm_> hi, what happens when i choose "when laptop lid is closed -> hibernate" ?? [21:09] Alestan: Is there any problem with updating the package for all users as long as any user can do it without a password? [21:10] kronix: doesn't matter if its your site or not [21:10] mka, well, folder, but it's the same principle I guess [21:10] ... going to offtopic... :P [21:10] Koenigsegg: go to terminal and search the thrash folder of that partition [21:10] Is guntbert an op or a busybody? [21:10] =re@unaffiliated/guntbert [21:10] That answers that. [21:11] duffydack: I changed it to XVideo, seemed to pretty much do the same thing. [21:11] Jordan_U: The only problem with that would be that the package information would end up out of date, the version info most notably. [21:11] jamesch, using compiz? [21:11] Halp I lost Internet [21:11] duffydack: what's compiz? [21:11] seyfarth I had a similar problem, use the command line. [21:11] With Postfix; does virtual_map or aliases support a one to many relation on emails to recipients? [21:11] Koenigsegg: or enable hidden files in Nautilus and browse to that partition's topmost folder [21:12] deluser [21:12] Alestan, Okay, will do [21:12] I just booted to a live CD (9.04) and I am wondering why one hard drive will not plug and play (I have 2 that are the same model and capacity) [21:12] jamesch, extra effects... [21:12] Alestan: I mean that you can use sudo ( or policykit ) to allow any user to update a package without needing root priveleges [21:12] mka, you're my star. Thanks! It was my entire home folder you saved. [21:12] jamesch, what radeon is it and what driver [21:12] duffydack: let me have a look... [21:12] Alestan: I am asking if that is a reasonable solution as long as they can't do anything else as root [21:12] Koenigsegg: you got your file s now? [21:13] mka, yup :) [21:13] Jordan_U: We're mostly running single user systems, so that is no problem. [21:13] After boot my interfaces are eth1 and eth0_rename and neither works [21:13] yay!Koenigsegg [21:13] Alestan: Why don't the systems auto update? [21:13] on upgrade to karmic, my laptop's sound card (intel hda, stac9228 on a Dell Vostro 1400) lost mic gain. I can record sound if I turn all the knobs way up, but it barely registers in the vumeter, and sounds horrible. [21:13] yay|Koenigsegg [21:13] What do you mean about auto updatting? [21:14] !yay [21:14] Glad you made it! :-) [21:14] duffydack: is there a shell command which will tell me the graphics hardware info? [21:14] !yay|Koenigsegg [21:14] Koenigsegg: please see above [21:14] ubuntu fora and the like have been no help :-( [21:14] How can i make a copy of my hard drive into another one bigger? [21:14] Alestan: you probably don't want to install the programs as debs if they are going to update themselves (if I understood what you were doing correctly) [21:15] leonel_: what do you want to do, your english is hard [21:15] duffydack: sudo lshw -C display [21:15] trism Right, I can have the program update itself but that means no install as root and no deb install. [21:15] leonel_: easy solution: boot with clonezilla [21:15] Or I can use debs, but that means no auto update. [21:15] Alestan: You can set up a repository and have apt update automatically every day ( or whatever interval you want ) [21:15] Alestan: yep [21:15] leonel_ you can use the dd command to clone a drive or make a backup [21:15] guntbert: what is clonezilla [21:15] How would I go about setting up a repository? [21:15] jamesch, ^ what he said [21:16] hello [21:16] mka: a boot CD for cloning HDs, partitions images... [21:16] hi all [21:16] oh but i want to know if the new hard driver is going to keep its size? [21:16] guntbert: how different from partimage? [21:16] why cant ubuntu recognize my microphone? it has worked in other linux dists [21:16] Alestan: Are the programs all open source? ( if so you can create a ppa in launchpad, but they don't allow uploads of proprietary code ) [21:17] duffydack: sudo lshw -C display? [21:17] newbite: hi [21:17] They are not open source. [21:17] how can i use webcam with kopete in yahoo chennel? [21:17] jamesch, yeah [21:17] pls? [21:17] I mean from one 20Gb to another 40Gb... everything is gonna be copy and what happend with the partitions? [21:17] I suppose I could ask the boss if I can open source them... [21:17] mka: couldn't say - never compared ... [21:17] leonel_: it will clone your hard drive contents to the new one and if for some reason the partition is smaller you can just use gparted to resize it to the full size of your new hard drive [21:17] jamesch: it will tell you the display device [21:17] But it would not be his, or my, first choice. [21:17] After boot I can't get an ip and my interfaces are named eth1 and eth0_rename so I guess udev broke. I'm running karmic with proposed updates from yesterday. [21:17] Alestan: I think that a repository is basically just an hhtp or ftp server with the right directory structure [21:17] jamesch, i`d rule out vlc and try another player myself as well [21:18] The other option I just thought of would be having the client copy the latest deb file off the server and notify the user that it can be installed... [21:18] Oh thanks a lot, and sorry for english... [21:18] Alestan: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/repository-howto/repository-howto.en.html [21:19] duffydack: it's Radeon 3600. It should be perfectly capable of playing this video. I'm also using the proprietary driver from ATI [21:19] Alestan: That's reinventing a whell that allready rolls quite nicely :) [21:19] leonel_: i have never tried to clone a hard drive that isn't the same size. It will not hurt to try and see what happendeds. You always have your first hard drive as backup to try again :) [21:19] duffydack: what player should I try instead? [21:19] Alestan: s/whell/wheel/ [21:19] jamesch, totem, smplayer [21:19] /w leonel_ http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/cloning-1-hard-disk-to-smaller-hard-disk-dd-or-ghost-228341/ [21:19] 2 questions: how can I get a list of active harddisks. and how can I enable dma-mode on 1 of them? [21:19] 3o3 medpluz our server [21:19] That was my thinking, hence asking here for a better method. [21:19] fyi what you guys said worked PERFECTLY === DanaG1 is now known as DanaG [21:19] im up and running [21:20] jamesch, how are youtube videos? [21:20] you're all heros [21:20] Moo [21:20] I just booted to a live CD (9.04) and I am wondering why one hard drive will not plug and play (I have 2 that are the same model and capacity) [21:20] Now, the question is if I can have the post-install script auto add the server as a repository and the pre-remove script auto remove it... [21:20] Bobster|Laptop: cow? [21:20] Bobster|Laptop, apt-get moo [21:20] lol [21:20] Hey guys. I'm running 8.04, and I want to use PHP, but I don't want to use a full webserver. Is there anyway that I can see PHP files as normal (from my browser) as if they were on a webserver, while only working locally. Sorry for the confusing wording. :S [21:21] Alestan: You can, and you don't even need a script [21:21] Bobster|Laptop: apropos moo [21:21] Oh? [21:21] ow can I get a list of active harddisks. and how can I enable dma-mode on 1 of them? [21:21] I am trying to make it painless for the people in the office, so I'd rather not make them go edit the sources file by hand. [21:21] duffydack: they seem fine, I assume it's a VLC issue [21:21] Rorty: df [21:21] Alestan: Just include as a file that the package installs a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/your_repository_info [21:22] Rorty: sudo fdisk -l [21:22] f~Rorty hdparm [21:22] billy: no, you would need to have apache and a local website configured to do what you want [21:22] D: [21:22] Ah, yeah, that would do it. [21:22] nuts [21:22] hello ,, i installed windows and grub lost, how to reinstall grub2 , i use ubuntu 9.10 [21:22] hey wait. === mint is now known as kebomix [21:22] billy if you have web hosting why not just create a test directory on yoru host [21:22] billy: you need a webserver anyway local or remote [21:22] hey guys, i can't install karmic because it won't recognize my hard drives. because a livecd requires a reboot, i can't boot livecd, run an update and then try to install with fixes (since a reboot clears it ofc) [21:22] jamesch, try a different player anyway [21:22] is it possible to install ubuntu to a new partition from windows? i might be able to run an update first [21:22] what if I used php sockets? :D [21:22] duffydack: which one? [21:22] jamesch, tried the player from the ppa? === kebomix is now known as Guest16687 === lance_ is now known as Guest75622 [21:23] !grub | kebomix ( the retoring grub after windows section wooks with grub2 also ) [21:23] kebomix ( the retoring grub after windows section wooks with grub2 also ): grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [21:23] jamesch, I use vlc and smplayer and both from ppa [21:23] infoG if you have an ubuntu live cd it will give you that kind of option [21:23] billy: if you used PHP sockets to do what? [21:23] duffydack: nope, can I get it with apt-get? [21:23] where is the mysql databse file stored in the filesystem? [21:23] erm [21:23] to run from a port [21:23] iunno [21:23] :S [21:23] billy: just install LAMP or XAMPP [21:23] ZenMasta: ok, thx [21:23] c3l: /var/lib/mysql [21:24] billy: of course, you *can* run a PHP file locally. but you won't get much rendered HTML out of it [21:24] jamesch, https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/vlc [21:24] /part [21:24] llutz, ty [21:24] can someone explain to me please why evolution's message filters do not work? [21:24] yeah. basically, i want to be able to see html output, but without a webserver. are you sure there's absolutely no way? [21:24] So I just include a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d where the name is what would otherwise get put into /etc/apt/sources.list? [21:24] billy there is no way without a web server [21:25] D: [21:25] crap [21:25] oh well [21:25] billy: i don't know of a way; to me, it seems that installing a webserver (perhaps a small one like lighttpd) would be a perfectly good possibility. if it isn't, perhaps you should explain why [21:25] i suppose [21:25] k [21:25] what server should I use? [21:25] billy: no way [21:25] i dont need the power of apache [21:25] billy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:25] i just mentioned one [21:25] just something to see locally for myself [21:25] duffydack: what's PPA? [21:25] !ppa [21:25] 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. [21:26] Alestan: You name the file whatever you want ( as long as it ends with ".list" and put in it the lines you would add to the sources.lst [21:26] so, between LAMP and XAMPP, which is better? [21:26] Ah, that makes sense, thanks! [21:26] Alestan: np [21:26] billy: depends on requirements [21:26] !best| billy [21:26] billy: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [21:27] Alestan: yes entries in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/test.list will be treated the same as if they were in /etc/apt/sources.list [21:27] billy: neither is better [21:27] alright [21:27] :S [21:27] actually [21:27] arand thanks! [21:27] jamesch, it tells you on the page how to add the key and the rep [21:27] billy: XAMPP has an X server [21:27] repo* [21:27] ahh [21:27] hmmm... ok i have a really twisted idea and lots of ram: would it be possible to boot to a live cd (which can't recognize my hdds) then run a VM within that live session that is another copy of ubuntu and do updates to the VM. since it's all running in ram would the VM reboot with the new updates that give me access to the hardware? if that's the case i could install ubuntu from the VM [21:27] billy: what is XAMPP? [21:27] a webserver [21:27] now that i think of it, I used XAMPP on Windows a while ago, and was pleased with it. i'll use it [21:28] thanks for your help :D [21:28] billy: LAMPP/XAMMP is the same, L mean Linux, X means "any OS" [21:28] ahhhhhh [21:28] i see [21:28] billy: LAMP is obviuously a good choice as you are not running an X server which makes it more secure and use less resources [21:28] thanks [21:28] I am doing sudo apt-get install openssh-server and its not working. [21:28] or am i insane ^^ [21:28] infoG: Are you sure that updates would allow Ubuntu to see your drive? [21:28] It says package is not avaliable. on 9.10 karmic [21:28] billy: i'd advise LAMP, keep it pure [21:28] ActionParsnip: What do you mean? [21:29] Jordan_U: no am am not. at all [21:29] anyone know how to get a SATA hd to plug and play? [21:29] ActionParsnip: What do you mean by "pure"? [21:29] :) [21:29] ActionParsnip: that X doesn't stand for X-server [21:29] billy he means lamp is the bare essentials without any extra fluff that you probably dont need anyway [21:29] infoG: Ok, does the drive show up in /proc/partitions ? [21:29] Jordan_U: no, that's my problem [21:29] erm. sorry to be a bother, but can you define fluff? what frills does it have. [21:29] llutz: bah, makes sense to me [21:30] Jordan_U: even gparted doesn't see *anythin* [21:30] +g [21:30] ActionParsnip: X = cross-platform [21:30] xampp is just a specific distribution of the lamp software stack [21:30] billy: i'd look at what they mean, i'm going to [21:30] ZenMasta: simply plugging it in the mobo doesnt work? [21:30] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XAMPP [21:30] when I enter: "sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/hdx" I get: " HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device" [21:30] any hints? [21:30] llutz: it's not XAMMP, it's XAMPP [21:30] . [21:30] yeah sry [21:30] http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html [21:30] epinky: typo, sry [21:30] hey all [21:30] infoG: Has linux ever worked with this computer? [21:30] cant get openssh install on karmic install. says package not avaliable. [21:30] duffydack: I installed smplayer with apt-get install smplayer [21:30] anyone have problems with updates [21:30] Jordan_U: i have never installed it, no [21:30] that didnt' seem to make any difference [21:31] never tried** [21:31] what do I write to find out if my server is 32 or 64 bit? [21:31] just did the update and i cant even log into my screen [21:31] llutz: can you break down XAMPP? [21:31] resno: it's openssh-client or openssh-server [21:31] llutz: theres MAMP as well, for Mac [21:31] mka its really strange, I have identical HD's (seagate 250gb) one will be recognized no problem the other not... ironically if I have the HD's connected while botting up the one that IS recognized causes problems [21:31] i installed windows and grub disappeared , how to reinstall it , i use ubuntu 9.10 [21:31] !grub | kebomix [21:31] kebomix: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [21:31] one more question. is either XAMPP or LAMPP in the ubuntu repos? [21:31] mka: "X cross-platform -A apache -M mysql -P php -P perl" [21:31] jamesch, ok.. I prefer ppa but ok. [21:32] what's the diff? [21:32] ActionParsnip: there had been LAMPP/MAMPP/WAMPP which today all is meant with "XAMPP" [21:32] LjL: Just boot with your ubuntu cd, choose repair or something simaliar, when ubuntu startet, just reinstall grub [21:32] jamesch, for me on karmic it gave me some nonsense about it being an old version of mplayer (which smplayer uses) [21:32] embrik: "grep lm /proc/cpuinfo". if "lm" is listed among the flags, then the CPU is 64bit [21:32] just did the update today and i can even log into my screen..... [21:32] llutz: got it :D thanks [21:32] jamesch, anyway ppa are newer, but try it anyway [21:33] duffydack: that's exactly what it just told me as well... [21:33] jamesch, what you installed that is. [21:33] i just the ubuntu logo frozen on my system [21:33] ZenMasta: what kind of problems does it cause? [21:33] ActionParsnip: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XAMPP [21:33] jamesch, yeah, you`d think a "New" distro would include something newer.... hah [21:33] ugh. now to install XAMPP :S [21:33] llutz: been and done ;) [21:33] ubuntu is good. hello [21:33] karmic dropped too many balls so I dont use it. [21:33] !xampp [21:33] We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. [21:33] jamesch, try whatever you installed anyway, just for something different. [21:34] hey guys [21:34] mka: basically it wont let me boot into ubuntu live cd.... or maybe I didn't have the patience to wait. boot only takes about 2 minutes without the HD connected... with I tried wiating over 5 mins and there was lots text output onthe screen about bad sectors or sotmhing [21:34] duffydack: I tried smplayer, didn't make a difference. Exactly the same thing as with vlc [21:34] OH DEAR GOD. right when I wanna get XAMPP, sourceforge is down XD [21:34] billy: it's not that big of a coincidence.. [21:34] does anyone here have a fix for the MSI Wind u100 brightness problem?? [21:34] Hey, is it right that when I delete ~/.gnome2 my theme settings will be reset? [21:35] it's just funny [21:35] :P [21:35] billy: sudo tasksel install lamp-server [21:35] ZenMasta: I have two SATA hdd's seagate 320gb and western digital 250gb and work fine [21:35] LjL: it doesn't work for me ! [21:35] jamesch, tried different video? [21:35] billy: just get lamp... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [21:35] ZenMasta: what does booting a liveCD has to do with hard drives? [21:36] <|rt|> quick question....when you run dpkg-reconfigure what file or script is it using to guide it's operations? [21:36] ZenMasta: sounds like you need to repair the filesystems [21:36] mka: that's the only linux I have available to me right now because I'm trying to perform a clone backup that I had saved [21:36] is there a known problem with 9.10 wubi installations after a recent security update? I'm getting a kernel panic, unable to mount root fs on bootup [21:36] does anyone here have a fix for the MSI Wind u100 brightness problem?? [21:36] according to XAMPP's site, LAMPP doesn't exist. it's "XAMPP for Linux" now [21:36] mka: HD2 (the one with the backup has an image of HD1 I made with dd) [21:36] fduplex: I think everyone got that? [21:37] tehowe: I came across this thread just now, [21:37] billy: for you too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XAMPP [21:37] But then I couldn't install Karmic from DVD either [21:37] mneptok: I plan to wipe HD1 with the backup that is on HD2 [21:37] tehowe: [21:37] duffydack: I watched three different videos on VLC, I'm assuming that if one was dodgy in SMplayer that the other two will be as well,. [21:37] sorry. trying to paste url [21:37] billy: the X just means any OS, so its generic, You can make MAMPP by using it on a Mac, It covers all bases [21:37] gotcha [21:38] ZenMasta: but the partitions you are trying to mount at boot time complain of bad sectors. this is usually a sign of filesystem corruption or disk failure. [21:38] hey guys need help, if you apply new icons theme why is that some icons still set to old GNOME icon theme.. special My Documents firefox bookmarks etc. [21:38] mka/mneptok: but that's beside the point because I can't access HD2 from inside ubuntu (its' not plug and playing) so I can restore the bacukp in the first place [21:38] jamesch, I dont know then dude. Might be the ati proprietary driver === joe75_ is now known as joe75 [21:38] billy: so you can install ubuntu then install LAMP on it and get the desired effect [21:38] geekk1d: The icon theme you installed was incomplete [21:38] kebomix: try following zsuxcia's suggestion then [21:38] fduplex: I just put 9.04 in using Wubi for now. Waiting for 10.0x ... unless you've some masterful URL [21:38] tehowe: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1317397 [21:39] Install ubuntu!?!?!? i'm using it right now XDXDXD [21:39] duffydack: damn! thanks for the help. Do you know if there's an alternative to the ATI proprietary driver? [21:39] mneptok: HD1 is a bad install of windows HD2 has a backup of HD1 before it went bad. HD1 will not let me boot into ubuntu because of the problems I described but I can plug it in once ubuntu is loaded. I cannot however plugin HD2 and have it autodetect [21:39] Jordan_U, there was a fix for this previously by deleting some files under usr/share/icons or maybe in /usr/share/pixmaps etc [21:39] hi all, do you know how to install cinelerra in ubuntu 9.10? [21:39] jamesch, tried deactivating the driver and using the "radeon" [21:39] Anyone here know ot how get Samsung N130/N120 Netbook wireless driver working? Please I really need help on this [21:39] ZenMasta: how is the drive connected? SATA? IDE? [21:39] mneptok: actually more than a backup, it's another boxes win install plus the backup [21:39] been at it for 6hours [21:39] SATA [21:39] Jordan_U: i am issuing sudo apt-get install openssh-server. It says no installtion canidate. Part of another [21:39] tehowe: I booted off a usb key with ubuntu on it, mounted the root image and everything looks fine. I remember doing an update on the last boot though, i'm thinking it broke something [21:39] jamesch, I`m forced to using the oss driver but its pretty nice for my old card [21:39] !cinelerra | difedepe [21:39] difedepe: Cinelerra is a video editor and compositor that cannot be included in Ubuntu for legal reasons. Install instructions can be found on http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu [21:40] kebomix: What happens when you try to follow those instructions to restore grub? [21:40] Guest42613: could install ndisgtk and use the windows driver [21:40] ZenMasta: so boot without the drive plugged in, then plug it in and look for the new devices in /dev/sd* (ls /dev/sd* | plug in drive | ls /dev/sd*). then manually mount the partition(s) you need. [21:40] fduplex: Oh, I had a different problem. My attempt at using Wubi drops into Grub after install is complete, won't boot at all. [21:40] Guest42613: Have you tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? [21:40] LjL, ok ok thanks for your info... I'll try to follow link you sent me. Thanks a lot :-) [21:41] Jordan_U, yes, i've done that [21:41] Guest42613: What chipset? [21:41] tehowe: oh okay, yeah everything was working for a week or so now until this [21:41] Jordan_U, it says No Properitary drivers in use on this system. [21:41] duffydack: that didn't do much either. oh well, I guess I'll just not have to watch videos on the ubuntu machine. [21:41] i dont see openssh-server in the synaptic package manger [21:41] Jordan_U, I'm not sure how to check it but my netbook is Samsung N130 [21:41] jamesch, have you tried jaunty before karmic? any issues [21:42] duffydack: I'm on jaunty... [21:42] * tehowe is sticking with Jaunty until next LTS [21:42] how can I read a logfile in the command line so that it automatically updates? [21:42] I've been on ubuntu on efnet but they couldn't figure it out, well it was pretty mcuh dead in there [21:42] jamesch, oh. Could try the driver from ati, bit more work involved however. [21:42] jamesch, the ones on ati site are generally newer. [21:43] duffydack: ok, I'll look into that. Tired of fiddling with this now though, [21:43] duffydack: thanks for the help. [21:43] Hello [21:43] jamesch, try a karmic livecd and install vlc and try that.. [21:43] any ideas on install openssh-server? [21:43] Is there a way i can get my Packard Bell tablet to work in 9.10? [21:43] Jordan_U could i pm u [21:44] package is missing from my computer [21:44] Guest42613: sure [21:44] olá [21:44] ZenMasta: you may use "uuid" instead of "root" in the menu.lst file of GRUB to mount any OS [21:44] jamesch, it`ll use the radeon free driver, but will give you an idea of wether installing karmic will fix it [21:44] resno: check your sources.list, it is in main [21:44] resno what happens when you attempt to install the package you wanted? [21:45] how to replace grub 2 with grub using live cd ? [21:45] domjohnson: what are the error messages you are getting? [21:45] I have another question. I copied microsoft fonts from windows to /usr/share/fonts but I don't see microsoft fonts... can you help me? [21:45] kebomix: Why? [21:45] None, it just isn't recognised [21:45] hmm, anyone know of a utility to sync files in two places, that can deal with a large number of files, and has both windows and Linux versions? [21:45] how to replace grub2 with grub1 using live cd * [21:45] DanaG: rsync [21:46] DanaG: rsync ( via cygwin on windows ) [21:46] Jordan_U: i installed mac and it destroyed my grub2 and i can't find any tuto. about how to recover it [21:46] I mean, I'd want it to be automatic. [21:46] DanaG: And probably stand alone as well [21:46] kebomix-> try to install the grub its liek apt-get install grub [21:46] DanaG: Unison [21:46] oh hey guys one more question. in XAMPP (call it what you like), can I restrict access to the server to myself. Basically, I want a private server. [21:46] I currently have pidgin logs on ntfs... which doesn't let the hard drive spin down. [21:46] n8tuser: i'm on live cd !

[22:20] Viking667, sudo update-rc.d -f remove gdm [22:20] HOLY SHIT [22:20] ZenMasta1, but I usually dont believe dd that much [22:20] It works [22:20] that should stop it from starting at boot :) [22:20] sam__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:20] divx ita [22:20] ops , sorry [22:20] ZenMasta1, you have unmount the drive you want to restore [22:20] to rephrase; i get past bios post and when it is about to load the bootloader nothing more happens. cursor blinks in top left corner and neither caps or num lock reacts. i've tried any possible combination of boot order in bios and no matter what usb port i use i get the single underscore blinking in the top left corner. anyone had this issue with their lenovo s12 after applying the last patch? [22:20] what is the gnome-menu "Other" category? and why does it get automatically populated with duplicate entries? [22:20] mka: yeah I've only ever used it before to clone directly to an HD not to a file :/ [22:21] Seveas: hm. I'll try that, but I suspect it won't work. I already commented out gdm by mv'ing /etc/init/gdm.conf to gdm.conf-disabled [22:21] Hell o All [22:21] After months of trying everything possible I finally have internet under ubuntu via wireless. I would like to thank the academy of #ubuntu for all their hardwork... [22:21] Viking667, yeah ok, that'll work too. So no X is starting at boot for you? [22:21] Cept my usb stick light isnt flashing like it does under Windows does that matter? [22:21] JoeSomebody: also see unetbootin.sourceforge.net --- I just made several distro USB's this way to test on a new netbook [22:21] sam_-> congrats on you being persistent [22:21] Any experts have knowledge about mount share from a NAS? [22:22] Seveas: unless I manually start kdm, no. [22:22] ZenMasta1: you can do this, "sudo dd if=backup.gz of=/dev/sd[a/b]1" [22:22] Viking667, and symlinks to /etc/init.d/kdm are present in /etc/rc2.d etc? [22:22] X is fine. KDM itself seems fine, but I can't start it from "service" or /etc/init.d/kdm start [22:22] dno: protocol ? [22:22] ZenMasta1: you have to confirm the a or b [22:22] n8tuser does it matter if the light isn't flashing on the usb stick === technokrat is now known as technokrat2 [22:22] of sda1 or sdb1 [22:22] Viking667: Any error messages when you try? [22:23] it spits out: start/running -somepid but promptly dies with no reason in the kdm.log [22:23] Hmm [22:23] epinky: I am trying to connect 9.10 to my netgear nas. I can sudo mount cifs but it fails. [22:23] ZenMasta1: this command is dangerous [22:23] Viking667, look at /etc/X11/default-display-manager [22:23] mka: sorry I don't understand "confirm" unless you mean I need to know exactly which hd I'm restoring from/to etc [22:23] Is kdm set as default? [22:23] Seveas, did you try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" and pick kdm? don't know if this still works in 9.10 [22:23] mka: I'm certain [22:23] did you update that file to list your preference? [22:23] sam_-> it doesnt matter as long as you are able to use the functionality of said device [22:23] ZykoticK9, Viking667 is having the problem, not me :) [22:24] agh. [22:24] dno: it does not support other protocols? [22:24] can't believe it. I'll go peek at that. [22:24] ZykoticK9, and yeah, that probably still works. And edits that file I just mentioned ;) [22:24] ZenMasta1: can you paste the contents of the command "df | grep -i media" [22:24] Viking667: dpkg-reconfigure kdm [22:24] are any of u guys familler with the program wine? [22:24] Well, with sudo, obviously [22:24] !anyone | DuckGod [22:24] DuckGod: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [22:24] epinky: I can try from Nautilus, but once I select the share it keeps asking for the password. It works with my 8.04 box.

I'll go try this again. Thanks for that dpkg-reconfigure. I'd forgotten about that. [22:25] No problem [22:25] mka: done [22:25] Hi! I can't load kubuntu (karmic). I was able to get past the grub loading screen but now it reads [drm:intelfb_restore] *ERROR* Failed to restore crtc configuration -22. How do I load kubuntu?

[22:25] epinky: Is there come synaptic program that controls authorization or something? [22:26] ZenMasta1: and then "sudo dd if=/media/backup-drive/backup.gz of=/dev/sda1" that will restore sda1 [22:26] dno: what protocol? [22:26] Xiella: Sounds like a bad sector on your hard drive.

[22:27] good evening every body [22:28] Evening, SuBsAm [22:28] ZenMasta1: next time you backup the whole drive you should use better applications like partimage. [22:28] dno: Hmm, how would I solve that? A friend helped me repartition my hard drive just before I installed Karmic. [22:28] Xiella: can try checking your CD for defects..you can do so during the kubuntu install screen prompt [22:28] mka: thanks, it appears to be working. I had no idea there was a gui app so yeah I'll definitely look into that [22:29] i tried to make setup to the ubuntu 9.10 [22:29] Xiella hows the external drive you brought? [22:29] epinky: Well, it is like my computer sees the NAS and I can ping it and I can connect to the folders that do NOT have a password. But for the folders with a password it just keeps asking me for the password. Somewhere they are not talking when it comes to passwords. [22:29] ZenMasta1: that is not a gui either [22:29] mattwynne: yes [22:29] Graviton from win to linux [22:29] mka: oh? just easier to use then?

[22:29] ok so long [22:29] behave and learn [22:29] ZenMasta1: it's a user interface but not graphical [22:29] Graviton firstly i make it setup inside win [22:29] dno: netgear ...?

[22:49] nyk2005, if you are wondering the jump in partition numbering, it is due to using an extended partition [22:49] nyk2005: sorry, what do you mean?

I don't think I should try fsck right now as the risks seem fairly high and I know I don't have a recent backup. [22:50] xrdodrx: so? [22:50] annoia, isn't aac 2 channels, and ac3 5? you need some software mixing there to 'create' 3 more channels from the audio, no ? [22:50] Graviton: linux, extented, swap. I think they're leftovers from a partitioning attempt during install. because I installed from a remote console,which was very unstable and had to quickly repeat partitioning and didn't delete the old ones.. [22:50] hello, could you please recommend me lightweight media player for ubuntu/xfce? [22:50] laclasse - AAC can be more channels.

[22:57] xrdodrx: I just want to make Pidgin plays sounds without affecting other software or process. As I read, that command will stop a process from accessing the Audio devices. I guess that will make problems! [22:57] I have an i386 driver for a touchpad that I want to install on amd64 -- Can I force it? How risky do you think it is? It's just a USB touchpad. [22:57] How do you force an i386 .deb pkg on amd64? [22:57] Graviton: so the MBR stays untouched even if I would delete the bootable sda1?

[22:59] Graviton: cool thanks, so I try [22:59] can anyone recommend a guide for changing my kernel version? [22:59] ok [22:59] But you know the saying: "If it aint broke..." [22:59] nyk2005: I've copied a file over, it won't run though, and it has a little padlock icon. But since the whole computer stutters when I'm browsing the DVD, I'm guessing the hardware is at fault? [22:59] mattwynne: update your syste? [22:59] nyk2005: wait, nevermind, I'm able to open it in VLC, it still stutters [22:59] is there anyway i can set my volume to always be at max whenever computer swiched on - for some reason my box keeps on resetting volume down to low [22:59] I am suffering from this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/366606 [22:59] GUcko1 so I want to downgrade my kernel [23:00] Graviton: is there a better partioning tool than fdisk for linux? than can eg merge partitions as partitionmagic could? [23:00] seems like 2.6.27-11-generic is the one I need [23:00] mattwynne: just select the kernel version from GRUB [23:00] gparted [23:00] GUcko1 do I not need to install it somewhere first? [23:00] I think, anyway [23:01] alfonzo19: System->Administration-> Hardware Drivers [23:01] ElNombre: so something is too slow I guess? it also stutters from hdd? is your video card using it proper driver? [23:01] hello, I'm messed up my keyrings. I forgot the password I set so I deleted everything in ~/.gnome2/keyrings. Now, if I connect to a server using Nautilus and choose to save my password forever, I don't get asked if I want to store the password in my default (and therefore don't get asked for my keyring password) [23:01] mattwynne: have you tried google?

[23:02] nyk2005: when I was using windows DVDs played fine, so it's not a hardware issue. I've installed graphics drivers and I can play other media files fine, so I think my graphics card is working okay [23:02] mattwynne: how about the link I gave it to you? [23:02] every time i try to write to an ntfs partition in ubuntu i end up breaking that partition, windows keeps saying its damaged but checkdisk says there is nothing wrong with it, anyone know whats wrong here ? [23:02] GUcko1 that looks like exactly what I need - thanks very much :) [23:02] jongie: No, I don't have it sorry, it belonged to my friend. I also don't own a blank one so I can't make one myself right now. [23:02] nyk2005: but yeah it is stuttering from the hard drive, so maybe my computer is having problems playing the VOG format..? [23:02] !karma [23:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about karma [23:03] GUcko1:++ [23:04] jongie: I restarted and I got to the kubuntu loading screen.

I don't know how to do that or if that's a dangerous thing to do. === sale_ is now known as sale [23:06] ElNombre: what video card= [23:06] hi, question, its not directly ubuntu-related but im an ubuntu user so i figured id ask for help here. some particular websites wont load on my PC, whether i use firefox or chromium or epiphany, and they wont load on my windows partition either. i know the sites are good because i can access that easily from on-campus (daylife.com for example) but not here. i changed to openDNS wondering if it was a DNS issue but i still cant acce [23:06] Xiella: in some situations system-initiated fsck may fail..running it manually usually solves the problem though [23:06] nyk2005: ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT [23:06] is there anyway I can set my volume to maximum on my gnome desktop and keep it that way - whenever i reboot the computer it always seems to go back to either low or half way...the machine is also accessed remotely via an NX session. I want it at max and it for to stay there....any suggestions [23:06] jongie: ah, I see [23:07] ElNombre: and X is using the ati driver or just vesa? [23:07] ubuntugeek.com is down :( [23:07] Xiella: ok can i see the post? [23:08] nyk2005: I'm pretty sure I installed an ATI driver when I installed ubuntu, I was initially having similar problems playing any media at all, but after I installed the drivers it started working [23:08] If you need support with fluxbox in ubuntu, join #ubuntu-fluxbox [23:08] jongie: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/404421 [23:09] jieafj: try using a proxy [23:11] Greetings all... I had my (pcmcia 802.11G) wireless card working under Gutsy through ndiswrappers... it was well past time to upgrade, so I plugged the laptop into a regular ole ethernet and did the gutsy->hardy->intreped->jaunty and finally up to karmic, now my wireless isn't connecting. I can see my wireless net (using WPA2 with PSK), but get connection. [23:11] I cannot seem to play flash videos in firefox. Is there a fix for that? [23:11] bookman: have you downloaded flash player and stuff? [23:11] ElNombre: yup [23:11] epinky: can you give me a site. im looking around and cant really find anything [23:12] bookman: has it ever worked? [23:12] Bookman, you have: adobe-flashplugin installed? [23:12] wamcvey1: yes [23:12] ElNombre: yes [23:12] bookman: so it just randomly stopped working? reinstall flash? not sure, I'm here for help too :P === kb is now known as Guest40349 [23:13] does anyone know good time management software for Ubuntu? like planning? [23:13] No problem. XP still works on my system. I did not delete it! [23:13] Bookman: the plugin gets installed where Firefox should find it, but you can try building a link from /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [23:13] does anyone know if there is a way to play protected .wmv files on ubuntu? [23:13] Strange I have 3 partitions: sda2, sda5, sda6. but when I delete sda2, the other 2 also dissapear! [23:14] Xiella: try this i don't know if this works out in your situation. at the grub menu press "e" then just append the entry "i915.modeset=0" without qoutes, press ESC then presss "b" to boot [23:14] nyk2005: Is sda2 the extended partition [23:14] hello to all. Recently upgraded to 9.10. All went well with the exception of the the screen resolution. 600x800 & 640x400 were only available options. Successfully used xrandr to add additional values. Problem is I'm back to square one after a reboot. Would like to make values permanent. Thank you in advance for help given. [23:14] Is there a channel dedicated to sounds problems? I have a minor inconvenience [23:14] And why did sda6 and sda7 become sda5 and sda6 as I deleted sda4? Is there a way I can change them back to the old numbers? Or else I have to change that in fstab and grub... [23:15] Jordan_U: yes [23:15] jongie: okay, I will try that, does modifying that have much chance of messing up my system permanently? [23:15] (Oh, and hello gents.) [23:15] nyk2005: sorry if I'm being impatient, but are you still with me man? [23:15] wamcvey1: no problem. As I said, XP works fine still. [23:15] nyk2005: Since the other partitions are contained withing sda2 that makes perfect sense [23:15] is there is a way to play protected .wmv files on ubuntu? [23:15] s/wining/within [23:15] Xiella: the source says nothing on any risks [23:16] * Jordan_U can't type today [23:16] pbbd: do you have the wmv codec installed? [23:16] ElNombre: yes, but I'm out of ideas, sorry! [23:16] pbbd: if the .wmv is "protected" with DRM, I doubt it without doing a lot of work. [23:16] pbbd: open a terminal and type : sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [23:16] Xiella: as far as i know, this is one way of passing extra parameters on the kernel during boot time [23:16] wamcvey1: Ubuntu is good for play, not for work. [23:16] nyk2005: don't worry man, thanks for the help :) [23:16] KitsuneDragon, i get the error "The stream is encrypted and decryption is not supported." [23:17] wamcvey1: I wonder if there is a drm cracker on buntu? [23:17] jongie: sweet, thank you, trying that now. I couldn't press e so trying it again. [23:17] Bookman: I've been using Ubuntu as my main workstation OS for... oh... 5+ years or so. [23:17] epinky, i have done that [23:17] epinky, but i still get the same error [23:17] Jordan_U: I see... so if I want to use all the free space on the hdd (while still retaining sda5 and sda6), I have to enlarge sda2 using parted? [23:17] Bookman: am with wamcvey1 - and so are many of my colleagues [23:17] Bookman: well... maybe 4... [23:17] jongie: hmm, I still couldn't press e, or if I did it didn't come up with anything (just showed the Recovery menu as if I hadn't pressed anything) [23:18] Jordan_U: instead of deleting sda2 and then creating a new partition using all free space... [23:18] the trick (I've found) is to get decent hardware that has a hope of being supported and well tested. [23:18] too new and you have problems... too exotic and you can have problems. [23:18] Xiella: press ESC immediately before it goes on booting up ubuntu [23:18] pbbd, encrypted windows media stream? [23:18] wamcvey1: no problem, it is just not for my hardware. [23:19] jongie: ah... let me try that again [23:19] kostkon, i download my lecture files from class and they are encrypted (if i open in windows media player in xp they download license and play fine) [23:19] pbbd: sounds like drm right? [23:19] KitsuneDragon, yeah i assume so [23:20] wamcvey1: hey, can't work on every platform.....I still have one machine on Ubuntu. The other 5 are a no go [23:20] it's like this: sda2 start: 28.0GB end: 32.0GB size: 4047MB type: extended [23:20] jongie: so I press e on the grub screen, on the normal version of Ubuntu (not recovery mode)? [23:20] pbbd, hmm. ok. i don't think it's possible to play them on ubutnu. the only way could be to burn them on a cd and then extract them as mp3s for example. [23:20] pbbd: I dont think you can.... [23:20] and 5 28.0GB 30.5GB 2500MB logical ext4 [23:20] Xiella: yes the default linux image [23:20] kostkon, okay thanks [23:20] strange that sda5 and sda2 use the same space of the disk! [23:20] KitsuneDragon, alright, thanks, is there any DRM removal software? [23:20] Xiella: not recovery options [23:21] pbbd: it is illegal and I think a google search will find a windows program for that [23:21] jongie: right. I am now on the edit screen. I'm looking for the line that ends with "quiet splash" but it's a very long line that wraps around. Not sure what to edit? [23:21] KitsuneDragon, okay thanks, also last question is there a force quit for an application thats not responding in ubuntu? [23:22] KitsuneDragon, nevermind found it [23:22] pbbd: yeah theres a gnome applet and alt F2 then type xkill should work too [23:22] pbbd: oh ok [23:22] jongie: the line begins with "linux /vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUID.........(goes on with lots of numbers and letters)" and ends with "ro quiet splash" [23:22] Bookman: hmm - i have 7 here (varying brands, 2 x dell, 1 x tosh, 2 x asus, 2 x macs) all running ubuntu just fine (all upgraded to karmic fine too, apart from 1 dell [nvidia driver issues - fixed automatically on reboot] and the other dell i'm keeping on 9.04 for now for work compatability issues [yes, i have a lot of computers :-) - i only tend to use about 2 at a time though :-)) [23:23] Xiella: just append at the end of the line separate with space [23:23] grub_booter: awesome. I wish I was so lucky. [23:24] ping [23:24] i have a file with permission 644 (specifically /var/log/apache2/error.log), but one user cannot read this file (permission denied), why could this be happening?

[23:25] jongie: Not quite sure what to write. should I change the line "linux .... quiet splash" to "linux ..... quiet splash i915.modeset=0"? I am still fairly new to ubuntu, sorry [23:25] this is just complely illogical: http://pastebin.com/m8cbd276 [23:25] how can I fix *this*? [23:26] (it's parted output) [23:26] Nehal, it might be that the /var/log/apache2 directory does not have read access for others [23:26] ah shit... maybe I understand.. [23:26] RebelZero: i checked that, it does, as do /var and /var/log [23:26] Xiella: no, just go to the end of the line, do not delete anything, use your right arrow key towards the end of the line [23:26] nyk2005: nothing wrong with that. [23:26] nyk2005: that #2 is just a wrapper for 5 and 6 [23:27] Xiella: r u there already? [23:27] MoTec: ah... I could just add an other local partition of size 2gb or so.. [23:27] jongie: Thanks, my cursor is now at the end of the line [23:27] MoTec: but why are they called 5 and 6? and not 6 and 7 as they were before? the kernel does not like it! [23:27] nyk2005: looks like you have around 1.3gb available in that extended partition, still. [23:27] Xiella: now append i915.modeset=0 [23:27] do not know. [23:28] Is there any way to change that numbers? [23:28] RebelZero: ok, /var/log/apache2 had read access for others, it also needed execute access for others, ... i never knew that [23:29] jongie: it now looks like "linux ........... ro quiet splash i915.modeset=0". Is that right? [23:29] Nehal, ah yes... 5s instead of 4s [23:29] hi [23:29] ah, maybe fdisk "fix partition order"... [23:29] anyone tried that? [23:29] doesnt do anything, sorry [23:29] ...not so sure if id give x to all of /var... [23:29] Xiella: yeah that's it. press ESC then press b [23:29] any of you install karmic then your 1080p movies start skipping or something similar? I have coreavc installed, but apparently the video is out of sync or there is times when i have to go back [23:30] jongie: Okay. It doesn't matter that the "quiet splash" and the "i915.modeset=0" are switched around? (based on the bug page thing) [23:31] ah fixed it... filling the extened partition restored the ordering!

I have the latest drivers and am still running Jaunty [23:53] Does anyone share your thoughts/experience with UEC or any documentation or reviews? [23:53] Guys my internal mic doesn't work, i can find a soln, i have an acer [23:54] I have gnome-do installed, but I want to install docky that supposedly comes with it. How do I get docky working? [23:54] I have added a couple of ppa: sources (chromium & nVidia beta), but that shouldn't slow Synaptics down really? [23:55] worldwarcheese: have you read this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1272845 [23:55] Another thing: is it safe to disable/uninstall pulseaudio completely? I get anoying pops every now and then... U 9.10. [23:55] Is there any way to actually install python2.6-setuptools? [23:55] worldwarcheese: read the EDIT part at the end [23:56] emanuel__, the pops are not pulse related i think? using a laptop? === ShadowChild is now known as lukjad007 [23:56] epinky: Thanks! I hadn't seen that thread and I'll try that now. It sounds exactly like my issues [23:57] kostkon: no, it's a desktop computer. Intel HDA. [23:57] sound on 9.04; adequate, sound on 9.10; Priceless [23:57] I have gnome-do installed, but I want to install docky that supposedly comes with it. How do I get docky working? [23:57] docky? [23:58] !gnome-do [23:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome-do [23:58] hmm [23:58] anyone running netatalk 2.0.4 in 8.04.3? [23:58] Anybody else suffering from general synaptics slowness? [23:58] epinky: Except does "compiz-check" mean a command in the terminal? I ran it and was told that it's not a real command? [23:59] emanuel__, it could be the case that your soundcard is shutting down after 10secs of inactivity [23:59] LordHawke13: sorry, I can't reproduce this, I just removed all the associations of several file types with no problems...not sure what the issue is for you [23:59] kostkon: it never did before. [23:59] emanuel__, new power saving feature on 9.10. you could try disabling it and see if that changes anything [23:59] Nevermind, found it [23:59] worldwarcheese:read this http://forlong.blogage.de/article/pages/Compiz-Check [23:59] emanuel__, yeah, it's only on 9.10 [23:59] What would the command to extract tarballs be? [23:59] Trism: Oh well. Thanks for trying. . .
