[00:00] sudo -tar [directory] [directory]> [00:00] Would that be it? [00:00] I come from the glorious country of gentoo. I'm used to emerge taking forever in deps computation, but synaptics? [00:01] kostkon: Thanks, I'll look into that powersaving stuff [00:01] emanuel__, you make it sound like its slow? [00:01] Roasted, in the gnome-do preferences, go to Appearance, choose Docky as the theme. [00:01] knoppies: Yes, synaptics is dead slow here. [00:01] Any idea up the update for GIMP BMP vuln ? [00:01] frode15243 - thanks! I just found it as you mentioned that. Do you know how I can get applications split up, though? Like I have pidgin + 2 IMs open. The IMs don't show up in the dock, only Pidgin. I want each individual IM to show up as an icon in the dock. [00:02] emanuel__, I see. I feel for you. Nothing worse than waiting. [00:02] hello [00:02] knoppies: e-stress [00:03] Roasted: don't know, haven't used the Docky theme. Just found it now and going back to the Glass theme. :) [00:03] is ubuntu faster running than xp [00:03] So everyone else's synaptics is fast on dep resolution? === andy is now known as Guest7876 [00:03] Could I install kde without any problems if gnome is currently installed? [00:04] I have twelve packages that are broken, unresolved dependencies, reinstallation or dpkg -f isnt fixing it [00:04] is ubuntu faster running than xp === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [00:04] Guest7876: that's subjective [00:04] Guest7876: ....doing what? [00:04] Guest7876: depending on what you're doing and your settings....no and yes [00:04] any ideas? [00:04] im using a netbook so im trying to find a light weight os [00:05] Guest7876: it can be as light or heavey as you make it [00:05] is it hard to modify [00:05] Guest7876: to add and remove application/components - no [00:05] Guest7876: XP is super light. Ubuntu can be light too, but it takes some configuration [00:05] maybe i should just use xp [00:06] ubuntu is sexy looking though [00:06] xp is so boring looking [00:06] Guest7876: try Xubuntu [00:06] it's ideal for netbook imo [00:06] whats the difference between xbuntu and ubuntu [00:06] not only I used it on desktop for years [00:06] Guest7876: use lxde instead of gnome [00:07] well it have lighter desktop environment [00:07] How do I backup my grub file (from "grub" to "grub.backup" for example)? [00:07] What is the application that locks the screen in gnome? I mean the binary. [00:07] less bloatware [00:07] /usr/bin/??? [00:07] who here uses docky? I cant seem to figure out how to make more advanced adjustments to docky. Like these icons are HUGE. I want them smaller. How can I do that? [00:07] kyon: tried with "sudo apt-get -f install"? [00:07] Roasted, I wrote it if that helos [00:07] *helps [00:07] So nobody can help me with my Synaptics slowness issues? Waah! [00:07] last release of ubuntu itś just awful [00:07] DBO - you wrote docky? [00:07] bloatware as in stuff running in the background or space [00:07] epinky: yeah, no joy [00:07] im gonna switch to arch linux [00:07] im done with ubuntu [00:07] Roasted, sure did, to adjust icon size just drag the separator up and down [00:07] alekhine: ok [00:08] i like this ubuntu everything works right away [00:08] DBO - imagine that! [00:08] DBO - another question... [00:08] I hear there's this new thing called Ubuntu Software Center or whatnot... [00:08] no it doesnt, vino is still broken and epiphany flash doesnt work anymore [00:08] epinky: I inherited a box with 6.06 on it and I'm trying to get it current. Somewhere on the road to 8.04-ness this happened [00:08] no sound [00:08] the only problem i have is mics dont work on my eeepc [00:09] DBO - I currentlty have open pidgin and 2 IMs. Is there any way I can have the two IMs appear in the dock? I hate having to open pidgin to open all of my IMs. I like them individualized. I just want Docky to act like my Gnome bar did - where each IM was separate, each firefox window was separate, etc. Is that possible? [00:09] is it still possible to get the kiba dock? [00:09] Roasted, in Docky 2 yes, but thats not ready yet [00:09] Roasted: its in pidgins prefs [00:09] DBO - is there a beta of it yet? [00:09] Roasted, yes, but that feature is not exposed yet [00:09] no [00:09] kisuke - I know, but I'm trying to apply this to a dock, not to my gnome bar. slightly different. [00:10] sorry thinking chrome [00:10] Guest7876 stuff in the background and in terms of space [00:10] Another thing: How can I configure sudo/PolicyKit/SeaHorse/whatever to not time out on authorizing my user as admin so quickly? Is there a global way to do that? Those "enter your p/w" dialogs are getting old real quickly... [00:10] oh sorry [00:10] Xiella: is your kubuntu fresh install or an upgrade to 9.10? [00:10] not out of beta, but well worth it [00:10] !kiba dock [00:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about kiba dock [00:10] jongie: It's a fresh install. [00:10] Roasted, unfortunately, the female in my life is pulling me away. You can stop by #docky and troll us till you get what you want however :) [00:10] gnome has tons of stuff loading etc. xfce from xubuntu is much lighter [00:10] DBO - is there at least a way that I can set it so I can pick which window it goes to? Cause like... I have two firefox windows open. Is it possible to hover over the firefox icon and have the other 2 pop up? [00:10] !kiba [00:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about kiba [00:10] DBO - hahaha, okay, sounds good. thanks. [00:10] !info kiba [00:10] Package kiba does not exist in karmic [00:10] my friend uses xubuntu on his netbook it's working like a charm [00:11] chrome is SO fast.. [00:11] got ppa? [00:11] for chrome [00:11] Actually those "tons of things" gnome loads don't add much to your boot time. [00:11] ppa? [00:11] emanuel__, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/442463/comments/4 [00:11] yeah but eat up memory === joe75_ is now known as joe75 [00:12] Younder: ppa repository [00:12] I have a GNOME desktop in less than 30 s. U 9.10, old Pentium 4 based computer. [00:12] yes [00:12] one moment [00:12] kyon: workaround: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=1764991#post1764991 [00:12] emanuel__, thats pretty good for 9.10 === Andorin is now known as AK|vape [00:12] emanuel__, I would say very very good :) [00:12] epinky: thank you [00:13] kostkon: cheers for the link [00:13] www.google.com/chrome [00:13] coz_: really? [00:13] simple huh [00:13] hi, i have installed postgresql and deleted the /etc/postgresql/8.4 directory... the problem is that when I reinstall postgresql the conf directory is not created... how can I solve this problem please... [00:13] emanuel__, yeah karmis boot sequence leaves much to be desired and wanted [00:13] Xiella: try again booting to recovery and select fsck instead of dropping to root [00:14] coz_: RAID much? [00:14] is it still possible to get the kiba dock? [00:14] Younder: google didn't released chrome for linux yet [00:14] emanuel__, no even though I have scsi drives here :) [00:14] Riotta, as I said it is in beta [00:14] I thought that you got it from ppa [00:15] You need to get the developemet version [00:15] gah. Turns out my setup can't actually play HD. [00:15] can anyone recommend me a good motherboard for a corei7 chip? [00:15] coz_: I have found that when you start worrying about bootup times, you need to look into this new stuff called "hibernation" :-) [00:15] albondi: that's offtopic here [00:15] albondi: try ##hardware [00:15] ikonia: thanks! [00:15] jongie: I don't see a fsck option. The options are resume, clean, dpkg, grub, netroot and root. [00:15] emanuel__, on a desktop? [00:16] coz_: Definitely [00:16] Viking667: what setup? [00:16] http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel [00:16] emanuel__, well I am comparing 9.10 to all previous version now :) [00:16] thx Younder [00:16] is probably what I used [00:16] Ubuntu, Radeon 9550. [00:16] coz_: Another thing, check out bootchart and use static IP if you have a router [00:17] I think I just crashed it playing a HD youtube flash video [00:17] can some one help me with mp3gain????? [00:18] emanuel__, mmm well almost the same system since ubuntu 4.10 this is the slowest booting version :) === sisif_ is now known as sisif [00:18] Viking667: that card haven't got even hardware decoding of HD material [00:18] coz_: bloat tends to work like that [00:18] emanuel__, I think you may be right and also grub2 at least at t his beta stage [00:19] coz_: remove everything you don't need and watch out for weird things like IPV6 timeouts etc. etc. [00:19] hello all! [00:19] emanuel__, i will try that thanks :) [00:19] * emanuel__ is using grub2 [00:19] anyone know how to autoUNmount a usb stick once it's been unplugged with ivman? thanks! [00:19] so I found when I tried using -vo directfb [00:20] Hello guys. I`ll need some help. I just upgraded from 9.04 on to 9.10 (x64) and now it seems that my notebook won`t boot. I managed to make it start in recovery mode, but console terminal is all i can get from now. Any suggestion on shall I do next. Any help would be greatly apreciated. Thanx! [00:20] anyhow, I got it back (turns out I'd only crashed the framebuffer, and subsequently Xorg) [00:20] coz_: My gentoo kernel had no IPV6 support, saved me lots of timeout related headaches [00:20] anyone have any idea how you alias a command with a [00:20] sisif, do you have anything you CAN'T do away with? (things that a backup won't recover?) [00:20] ' in the syntax [00:21] loginfliggle, enclose it with quotes [00:21] loginfliggle: huh? You on crack or something? What's a command doing with that in there? [00:21] what does gparted mean by "dirty volume mount was forced?" [00:21] emanuel__, ah gentoo.... [00:21] thanks [00:21] coz_: Ah, indeed. [00:21] deserteagle : not really. I do have a /home partition. Why? Do you suggest a fresh install ? [00:21] sisif, yup yup [00:22] solved ALL of my headaches with upgrading [00:22] =\ [00:22] dtamborelli: You have to "purge" postgresql package then reinstall === root is now known as Guest13109 [00:22] deserteagle : any other solution that I can do _without_ reinstalling? [00:22] Does firewire in Ubuntu support video in HDV format (not DV) [00:23] sisif, do you really want to spend 30947109287109 hours trying to get back to where you were? :S [00:23] nvme, I think that happens when a filesystem was unmounted improperly (usually the power switch was tripped while the operating system was still going. [00:23] sisif: what do you mean by "won't boot" - you mean the gui won't come up, or does it freeze up at some point [00:23] I'm going to SHOUT again. Bare with me. Anybody else having HUGE problems with Synaptics' dependencies resolution? I'm beginning to suspect I have done something, uhm, unorthodox. [00:23] emanuel_ whats the problem? i had problems, but solved them.. [00:23] sisif, it took me less time to backup and reinstall than it did to fix 2 issues, so unless you're a HARDCORE nerd... :P [00:24] emanuel__, nope, no issues here [00:24] anyone know how to autoUNmount a usb stick once it's been unplugged with ivman? [00:24] anyone know how to autoUNmount a usb stick with ivman once it's been unplugged? [00:24] epinky, i did it but it the files are not created... [00:24] emanuel__: whats the problem? [00:24] deserteagle: good to know, thanks for the data point [00:24] insm0d, any idea how i can fix that ? [00:25] emanuel__: dependencies can be solved. [00:25] markl_ : i see some booting, and there is the spash screen that I get to see. And the activity LED does blink. But other than that, preety mouch nothing responds. I can`t even get to a terminal to see what happens. Recovery mode is the only thing I get for now [00:25] hello #ubuntu, I finally got my usb wifi to work under Ubuntu....and it connects fine tho it signal is at 17% where under windows its at like 70% so under ubuntu the Internet stops and starts hardout...Its using WPA Personal, Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try to make ubuntu get the better signal...? [00:25] dtamborelli: sudo apt-get --purge remove postgresql [00:25] hi, what could be wrong that nautilus don't wan't show folder content, i have some .png pictures in folder and when i wan't open picture it is empty and it show like it is all time openning folder ? [00:25] natrixnatrix89: problem is Synaptics is largely non-interactive because it's wasting my CPU figgering out the deps tree all the time [00:25] smwn, try WICD :) [00:25] WICD? [00:26] Network connection manager [00:26] it's a wireless thing manager [00:26] Quite nice .. [00:26] AWESOME thing :D [00:26] emanuel__: did you try sudo apt-get -f install ? [00:27] nvme, In older versions of ubuntu I could help you more effectively, but it involves running fsck. Maybe run it from the livecd. [00:27] Even tho WICD will let me configure it using a good GUI, will it improve the signal? [00:27] insm0d, ive tried fsck it just says fsck.ntfs not found or something === bleh is now known as Guest34047 [00:27] epinky, look at this log please... http://dpaste.com/119844/ [00:27] smwn : no. that is hardware related [00:27] insm0d, windows cant read the partition but chkdsk says there are no errors [00:27] natrixnatrix89: no I didn't. I always have a couple of superuser gnome-terminals around so I rarley need to use sudo. :-) apt-get -f install reports nothing [00:28] my firefox 3.5 takes a long time to startup, anyone else experiencing this? i have disabled all my addons and still having the same problem. [00:28] smwn, better driver compatibility MIGHT mean better signal [00:28] weird [00:28] anyone know how to autoUNmount a usb stick with ivman once it's been unplugged? [00:28] deserteagle : wicd is just the interface to access the drivers / hw. [00:28] well it took me 6 months just to get it to work [00:28] nvme, I'm sorry, I don't know too much about filesystems in general, but especially ntfs [00:28] lol [00:28] finally found a driver that works(kinda)_ [00:28] fcuk112, maybe a corrupted profile? try loading firefox with a fresh one [00:28] kostkon: how do i do that? [00:29] fcuk112: Thats fx/gecko for ya. Have you considered switching to chromium or epiphany/webkit? [00:29] whats the command for updating my distribution? === Calvin87 is now known as Cpudan80 [00:29] its apt-get dist-upgrade? [00:29] emanuel__: i can't live without fast dial and delicious addon for FF - but i will use chromium if i have to. [00:29] fcuk112, try in a terminal. i hope it works in ffox 3.5: firefox -profilemanager [00:29] emanuel__, asafari also uses webkit, not just chrome [00:29] safari [00:29] read mac [00:30] fcuk112, This probably won't help startup times, but I've found numerous tweaking guides for firefox that really do make it snappier [00:30] fcuk112: fair enough. I really miss firebug & flashblock in chromium [00:30] Shnozzberry:its for change dist to newer version [00:30] epinky, now it works... because I did a purge in the specific package name "postgresql-8.4"... just postgresql (virtual package) don't work [00:30] webkit is a solid investment [00:30] Shnozzberry:just update is sudo apt-get update AND sudo apt-get upgrade [00:30] I have a theory that its using G when its suppose to use N [00:31] anyone know how to force it to use N and not G standard [00:31] Younder: Thing is, everybody is on the WebKit bandwagon, except for FX. That's saying something. [00:31] dtamborelli: :) [00:31] ciao [00:31] !it | diamante2k [00:31] diamante2k: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [00:31] kostkon: created a new profile, still the same issue. there is a lot of disk activity on startup. [00:31] is there a way to have firefox as a daemon? [00:31] fcuk112, hmm [00:31] emanuel__, what exactly? [00:31] Younder: Gecko is dead [00:32] epinky, thank you very much... :) [00:32] Anyone know how to make it use N not g standard [00:32] emanuel__, if not dead then expiring [00:32] kostkon: FF also goes dimmed for a while... [00:33] fcuk112, hmm. are you running compiz? [00:33] Younder: If not dead then smelling... Bad [00:33] kostkon: yes. [00:33] deserteagle: firefox as a daemon? [00:33] yeah [00:33] Does anyone here use mupen64plus? I need help configuring the controls on it. [00:34] deserteagle: for what purpose? [00:34] fcuk112, maybe a compiz plugin is slowing ffox down for some reason [00:34] is there a way in fluxbox to change the default background color and text color? [00:34] Billiard, as in, when i close it, it keeps the core loaded... for faster opening :) [00:34] Does anyone know how to check if your wireless connection is using N standard or G standard and if so , how do you force it to use N. [00:34] !update | Shnozzberry [00:34] Shnozzberry: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [00:34] fcuk112, which one I don't know, though. [00:34] kostkon: that's strange, i only use cube and grid... no problem in the past. [00:35] deserteagle: i see, idk [00:35] fcuk112, alright. when did your problem start? do you remember? [00:35] fcuk112: in terminal try firefox -safe-mode to see if it makes a difference [00:35] Another thing, when can we expect decent 2D acceleration on recent nVidia h/w? [00:35] kostkon: only recently... does doing hugday init on the profile got anything to do with it perhaps? [00:35] Does anyone know how to check if your wireless connection is using N standard or G standard and if so , how do you force it to use N. [00:35] * Viking667 departs [00:36] emanuel__, if is no quite as clear as that. firefox has firebug the best javascript debugger out there. I suspect it will hang around for some time for that reason alone. [00:36] fcuk112, hugday init? [00:36] * emanuel__ is never satisfied [00:36] deserteagle, you probably can set up a udev rule to unmount a drive on removal [00:36] kostkon: safe-mode works fine. [00:36] How do I get Empathy to connect to google talk..?? Seems to "network error" [00:36] fcuk112, aha, interesting [00:36] hi guys. quick question - is there a command or something that will list my laptop hardware? I need to find out what graphics card i have so i can troubleshoot compiz. Ta [00:36] Billiard, i was afraid of that :< udev rules scare me [00:36] Younder: i just wish chromium would have something like firebug built-in. [00:36] deserteagle: ha, its not that bad [00:36] debo: sudo lshw [00:36] debo lsmod [00:37] err, that ^ [00:37] yeah it's a pity about firebug, that's so good that even if firefox is otherwise kinda sluggish, that excuses all... [00:37] why nautilus don't show folder items, what they fucked up AGAIN? [00:37] cuz nautilus is good like that [00:37] * deserteagle uses Rox-filer [00:37] Webkit is insanely fast with javascript thanks to its jit and it's otherwise very snappy as well, but it has no firebug nor anything comparable. :-( [00:37] my nautilus is fine [00:37] it ROX! :D [00:37] kostkon: ah i just reset everything using safe-mode and it seems ok now, thanks. [00:37] cheers guys that;s perfect! [00:37] nautilus sux [00:37] Younder: chromium's javascript runs in circles around FX js. [00:37] does ubuntu always run at full frequency? im on a laptop and wondering if I can extend the battery [00:37] upd_ agreed :P [00:38] lol nautilus saved my ass a couple of time [00:38] emanuel__, it does have something. A DOM viewer. It's just not as powerful. [00:38] its good for newbie like me [00:38] Does anyone know how to check if your wireless connection is using N standard or G standard and if so , how do you force it to use N. [00:38] fcuk112, :) [00:38] what can i use if i don't wan't nautilus ? [00:38] Younder: what does? firebug? [00:38] jongie virtuald: My friend helped me boot into kde. I had to add vga=792 at the end of the boot options (not nomodeset or i915.modeset=0). I'm not sure what that means, but yay fixed [00:38] upd_, rox, thunar, etc. [00:38] who [00:38] emanuel__, that it does. It's a JIT compiler after all. [00:38] chinese [00:38] Botanic: i changed my cpu freq governor to conservative, and it seemed better to me [00:38] Younder: No you mean chromium... [00:38] hello [00:39] if I just configured my buddy's computer to allow remote desktop connections the command i use from terminal is VNC correct? or is there another one? [00:39] Billiard, where is that at? [00:39] upd_, thunar still has a lot of the functionality of nautilus (if you prefer that stuff) [00:39] ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso does this work for Intel Quad core desktop computer? [00:39] Botanic: one sec [00:39] because i can't find one for intel [00:39] emanuel__, right click [00:39] upd_, rox on the other hand is more bare bones and tweak friendly :D [00:39] Guest42613, thats 64 bit [00:39] Guest42613, i wouldn't try that [00:39] What the linux WWW world needs, sorely, is decent javascript (google is on that, mark my words) and Adobe opening up Flash. [00:39] deserteagle, huh [00:40] thiebaude, I have q6600 desktop computer [00:40] amd64 != intel quad core 32 bit [00:40] Guest42613, do have 64 or 32 bit? [00:40] Younder, right click what? [00:40] 64bit [00:40] oh ok [00:40] hmm [00:40] Intel Quad Core is both 32/64. lol [00:40] umm... still... i'd say no :P [00:40] emanuel__, chroium seems simple, but isn't. It has a lot of buildt in functionality. [00:40] both? o_O [00:40] Guest42613, that should work then [00:40] I was just confused because it said AMD [00:40] Younder, I know that === jlgab_ is now known as jlgab [00:41] Younder, it just isn't Firebug, is it? :-) [00:41] emanuel__, the mouse, in the HTML view feild [00:41] deserteagle, yes 64 bit support [00:41] you thought amd only had 64 bit ? lol [00:41] no [00:42] how to run nvidia 185 driver on karmic? [00:42] Guest42613, my amd is 32 or 64 bit [00:42] Is intrepid the latest? [00:42] i just though Intel named their 64bit Itanium or something [00:42] robin0800: Dead easy, just use restriced drivers yadda yadda [00:42] Shnozzberry, nope, Karmic is [00:42] I want to update from intrepid to karmic [00:42] whats the command to do that [00:42] don't :P [00:42] nowadays all Intel chips are 64bit supported [00:42] !update [00:42] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [00:42] should I? [00:42] emanuel__, I do web developement in Opera, Microsoft, Safaru, Firefox etc.. [00:42] Botanic: you could try the cpufreq-selector command [00:42] Shnozzberry, backup and do a clean install =\ [00:42] robin0800: if you want to try nVidia's beta drivers it gets a shitload more complicated [00:42] never [00:43] thiebaude, quick question [00:43] Botanic, what Billiard said [00:43] hey somebody know a little bit about networking ? [00:43] Guest42613, ok [00:43] Shnozzberry, best of luck then! [00:43] deserteagle: I have been updating my machine since ubuntu 5.* without backups and clean installs [00:43] killazzz, like what? [00:43] emanuel__, So I always know the latest features [00:43] Younder, yes..? [00:43] deserteagle: i'm not about to start new [00:43] Shnozzberry, good for you [00:43] thiebaude, I have a netbook and my brightness keeps dimming aftera minute or so how do I stop that [00:43] emanuel__: don't work won't start X black screen is there a fix? [00:43] deserteagle: I am a pro [00:43] it's annoying when trying to watch something [00:43] deserteagle: backups are for noobs [00:43] Shnozzberry, congratulations, you get a shiny medal [00:43] Guest42613, im not sure about netbooks, sorry [00:43] robin0800: what h/w? [00:43] like mapping my network to see other computer on it even if i have a routher with firewall and to have the ip it would be nice [00:43] oh [00:43] deserteagle: i prefer a dirty rusty metal, the holy grave indiana jones style [00:44] deserteagle, do you have a netbook [00:44] deserteagle: thank you for the medal though [00:44] Guest42613: you can change the lcd dim time in gconf-editor [00:44] Billiard, oh thank you so much [00:44] emanuel__, One weakness of Chrome is that it doesn't support Math ML [00:44] if u could teach me how to do it it would be nice [00:44] * Guest42613 looks for gconf-editor [00:44] Younder, OK. That never bothered me... :-) [00:45] Guest42613, nope, no netbook [00:45] Younder: math is best done server side if you ask me [00:45] hi all anyone know the easiest way to play a .wav in /usr/share/sounds from a command line? [00:45] As I am also a developer of Axiom (a math system) it bothers me [00:45] Younder: Just look at Wikipedia & Wolfram... [00:45] i mounted several iso's with furius, and whenever i go t the folder i see no files. [00:45] manuel__: nvidia gforce 4600gs [00:45] melvster1: mplayer maybe im sure there are other programs [00:45] Shnozzberry, you're a pro, right? [00:46] !furius [00:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about furius [00:46] emanuel__, Yes I use athematica too [00:46] emanuel__: nvidia gforce 4600gs [00:46] Shnozzberry, know how to autoUNmount a usb stick with ivman once it's been unplugged? [00:46] melvster1: aplay? mplayer? [00:46] if you could do that, you'd be an ULTRAPRO [00:46] robin0800: amd you have probles with nVidia's 185.*? Buy a more recent card. My 9400 cost me less than $100. [00:46] worked, thanks!! [00:46] deserteagle: did you try udev [00:47] Billiard, shhhh no udev rules pls :P [00:47] tried them once.... didn't work as planned :P [00:47] why would a mounted iso (several in fact) show no files? [00:47] deserteagle: well i could help you make a rule if you wanted [00:48] Billiard, really? :D [00:48] hylian: how did you mount it [00:48] I had a power flicker. Came back and dump out to the grub screen. I've tried following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Rescue%20Mode to no avail. I installed 9.10 via wubi on a win7 machine. Any ideas? [00:48] hylian: cause it's a broken or empty iso? [00:48] looking in the wrong dir? [00:48] Younder: how big of a diference is athematica and the port of mathematica? [00:49] I just installed 9.10. The live disc automatically proposed fwcutter for my wireless NIC. however, the installed hasn't done so yet. how can I prompt it? [00:49] i mounted it with furius. and no they are intact [00:50] lepine: mount the disc as a source and update [00:50] loginfliggle, The port of mathematica? [00:50] hey i am using ubuntu 9.10 and when i tried to do updates the update manager crashed... im going to try again. [00:50] Hey guys! Quick question. Is there Ubuntu One for Windows? [00:50] yeah, wolfram ported mathematica for linux systems [00:51] dbugger, huh? [00:51] deserteagle: try this maybe ACTION=="remove", DRIVERS=="usb-storage", RUN+="/bin/umount /dev/%k" [00:51] lohinfliggle, not sure I understand you [00:51] ok lol it works now [00:51] loginfliggle, Oh, you mean differences between windows & linux? Backends are identical [00:51] deserteagle, Im thinking of swtiching from dropbox to Ubuntu One... but I cant seem to install in in windows [00:51] how do i install the https://launchpad.net/~ripps818/+archive/coreavc?field.series_filter=karmic instead of the default mplayer? [00:51] billiard, i used furius [00:51] deserteagle: it could be smarter though like actually checking if its mounted [00:51] lohinfliggle, Mathematica is exactly the same on all platforms [00:51] hylian: wrong person? [00:51] Billiard, would pmount work better? [00:52] billiard, you asked me how i mounted my iso, i mounted it using furius [00:52] deserteagle: idk umount should work fine, i would think udev runs as root [00:52] hylian: o sorry [00:52] hylian: im not familiar with furius [00:53] lohinfliggle, The personal edition is now quite affordabe [00:53] hylian, try good 'ol mount -t iso9660 -o loop ble.iso /mnt [00:53] !iso [00:53] 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. [00:53] lohinfliggle, never the less I prefer AXIOM [00:53] there are many different versions of mplayer, I want to instal l the one that includes coreavc, do any of you know how i can install that version instead of the default one? [00:53] does anyone know if compiz is inbuilt in karmic? [00:53] if yes, then what shortcuts to access it? [00:54] can I boot my Ubuntu from XP using some VM? [00:54] hello [00:54] RenatoSilva: using virtualbox.org you can install ubuntu in your xp environment [00:55] or you can not use VM and use Wubi :D [00:55] Scunizi: can I ***boot my Ubuntu from XP*** using some VM? [00:55] deserteagle, how would i unmount it then when it came to that time [00:55] I have got my wireless working under ubuntu but the signal strength is way lower than it should be...its an N router and usb stick [00:55] ANY ideas? === anthony is now known as Guest96122 [00:55] lohinfliggle, AXIOM has a interface from the dark ages (1980's) but I can change that. And I will. [00:55] http://wubi-installer.org/ === jay is now known as jayb_ [00:55] RenatoSilva: if you've installed for a dual boot.. no.. [00:55] neurodrone, Im still on 9.04, but I think you just need to install the settings manager. [00:55] Xiella: nice to hear it's working now..seems there is a problem with the current kernel video driver..you can make the option vga=792 persistent by adding in to grub.conf [00:55] knoppies: oh okay.. thanks for that :) [00:55] Mathematica is hugely overrated though. Mr. Wolfram is a confirmed narcissist and the symbolic things Mathematica supposedly flies at is really trivial when you have a database of symbolic integration patterns. The nontrivial stuff is still hard to do symbolically. [00:56] Scunizi: why can't vms boot from real partitions [00:56] RenatoSilva: yes that one. [00:56] RenatoSilva: idk [00:56] can anybody tell how to make live usb for ubuntu 9.10 [00:56] thanks all [00:57] jongie: Ah, alright.. is grub.conf the same as /etc/default/grub? [00:57] I have got my wireless working under ubuntu but the signal strength is way lower than it should be...its an N router and usb stick, Any Ideas? [00:57] lordganesh: try unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ you need your ISO image [00:58] anyone knows how to download deb file and its dependencies? [00:58] agusj: whay cant you use the package manager? [00:58] neurodrone: installer? huh? [00:58] neurodrone: the installation alkready exists [00:58] I mean, yes, Mathematica is able to reason that this is an elliptical integral but that is about as far as it goes. Most real world problems are symbolically intractable and you *will* need something like mathlab to get your nubers. [00:58] Xiella: grub.conf is the autogenerated "menu.lst". it pulls information from /etc/default/grub when you run update-grub [00:59] I have no internet connection, so I download it from internet shop === SpacePigeon is now known as TheBogey [00:59] Wubi is a VM specially built for ubuntu? [00:59] is there a user installed which is allowed to write into /usr/share/games/* ? for games which want to write into the game directory ? [00:59] agreed, but I prefer Mathematica for quick integrations, etc [00:59] can vim be used as an alternative to gedit? if the answer is yes, how do you close a file without exiting vim? [01:00] loginfliggle: hmm, I see. How do I edit grub.conf? [01:00] use emacs [01:00] Younder: haha [01:00] vim quite frankly sucks [01:00] loginfliggle: I have no idea where it is stored/created, also I assume I need sudo for it? [01:00] Mathematica doesn't even have a nice plotting library. What we need is a good, svg backend for octave plotting. [01:01] Xiella: You shouldn't actually edit grub.conf, since any changes you make will be overwritten. If you need to make a custom entry, add it to /etc/grub.d/60_custom then run update-grub [01:01] can multiple files be opened in vim at a time? i'm guessing the answer is no [01:01] RenatoSilva, wubi is more then a vm , ubuntu runs on it's own partition inside windows , without the drawbacks of a virtual box [01:01] seidos: maybe if you use screen / byobu [01:01] emanuel__, you are wrong. In the 8 version it DOES have a strong plotting library [01:02] seidos: yes, they can [01:02] seidos: look up buffers [01:02] emanuel__, it used to be weak [01:02] Xiella: not sure if you need sudo to edit the 60_custom, but update-grub should be sudo i believe [01:02] seidos: eg :badd filename / :buffers [01:02] quit [01:02] Younder: The 8 bit Mathematica lib? [01:02] Younder, you have got to be kidding me? [01:02] seidos: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Vim_buffer_FAQ [01:02] linxeh: thank you [01:02] help, can't ping lan machine by hostname - IP is totally wrong [01:03] emanuel__, no, it uses the graphics subprosessor now [01:03] agusj: that's a problem maybe you can try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptMoveHowto [01:03] I have got my wireless working under ubuntu but the signal strength is way lower than it should be...its an N router and usb stick, Any Ideas? [01:03] Xiella: you need to find a guide with the correct syntax, or look at grub.conf since many things have changed since legacy [01:03] Younder, anything you can plot in Mathematica you can plot prettier in numerical/vector environments. [01:04] loginfliggle: hmm, thank you, yeah everything seems quite confusing. [01:04] R ftw [01:04] there is a default mplayer and there is a PPA lunchpad package mplayer that includes coreavc.... How do i install the last one instead of the default one? [01:04] emanuel__, no === safeByBell is now known as nazareth [01:04] loginfliggle: 60_custom is a new file, not sure if that is how it is supposed to be. Anyway I will go look for a guide first. Thanks [01:04] Xiella: haha yeah, it is a lot cleaner imo, but there is without a doubt more confusing to learn [01:04] emanuel__, it takes far more work thatn that [01:05] loginfliggle: heh === ichat_ is now known as ichat [01:05] Younder, how so? [01:05] Xiella: good luck [01:05] Question? No sound fololwed this, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure, upgraded alsa from 1.0.20 o 1,0.21 = sŧill no sound whatever. T5250 core 2 duo - 9.10 [01:06] emanuel__, Newer versions give you acessto the power of the GPU (graphis process unit) [01:06] Younder, Sorry I jsut realized you said 8 version, not 8 bit version. :-) [01:06] BluesKaj: own partition inside windows , without the drawbacks of a virtual box???? [01:06] yes [01:06] hylian, just like any other device: umount /mnt [01:06] I have got my wireless working under ubuntu but the signal strength is way lower than it should be...its an N router and usb stick, Any Ideas? [01:06] BluesKaj: don't understand what is different from a vm [01:07] Younder, that is all well and good, but if you export to svg the hardware doesn't really matter. [01:07] BluesKaj: any vm has own partitions [01:07] emanuel__, there never was a 8 bit version :) [01:07] inside win [01:07] I cd into a directory and run sudo ./autgen.sh but bash says command not found. what's up? [01:07] ping [01:07] help pls.. after i upgrade to 9.10 i always here crappy sound on my audio.. like some glitch noise .. help pls. how to fix this === yofel_ is now known as yofel [01:07] randomusr: What are you trying to compile? [01:07] smwn: update fixed that [01:08] Jordan_U; kiba dock [01:08] I used to run breezy [01:08] mataks, crappy sound on 9.10? [01:08] randabis, yes [01:08] emanuel__, As a axiom developer developing a better graph module is my greatest challenge [01:08] RenatoSilva, I'm not going to get into the details of all the probs I had with trying to run linux on vmware , but wubi does anice clean job of it vs virtaul box apps [01:09] mataks, what kind of computer do you have? [01:09] Jordan_U; any suggestions? [01:09] emanuel__, After I have fixed the UI bits [01:09] I am trying to run Ubuntu 8.04 on my htpc but I am not having any luck the little loading bar goes half way then I get a blank screen [01:09] Younder, I don't know. All my exported plots from Math7 have looked like crap. I guess I'm biased that way [01:09] randomusr: Isn't that project dead? [01:09] hi, after my first update, i am asked about grub, should i keep the local version currently installed? [01:10] it's not like this before i upgraded... just when after upgrade i get this stutter noise. [01:10] randomusr: There are other fancy docks in the repositories [01:10] Younder, so you're an axiom dev? What's your background? [01:10] JoeSomebody: compare the versions to make sure nothing is gonna break before you update it [01:10] Okay, so I'm trying to triple boot.. ubuntu fedora and vista [01:10] emanuel__, I am a PHD in maths [01:10] Jordan_U, nothing like kiba with the physics engine :) [01:10] Jordan_U; prolly not, considering that Daniel uploaded source code within 4 days ago, but they don't currently have a regular home page nor do they have an IRC channel [01:10] I have both installed and mounted properly, sharing a /home partition [01:10] JoeSomebody: if you updated the kernel you should update it [01:11] randomusr: for autogen.sh no sudo required; but try sudo "./autogen.sh" or sudo -s and then ./autogen.sh [01:11] Younder, nice! [01:11] BluesKaj: ok [01:11] Now I can't do anything on ubuntu and gnome is buggered up`:< [01:11] BluesKaj: thanks [01:11] I've been trying to work through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 with rescue mode and "boot to a specific kernel manually" and failing. Example. Step 2 of latter has no available kernels. What should I do? (wubi'd on win 7) [01:11] emanuel__, I have 20 years experience in software developemet [01:11] how can I check if a user with a specified name exists ? [01:11] c_korn, sudo cat /etc/passwd | grep username [01:11] randomusr: Ok, are you sure you are in the right directory and that they still use autotools? [01:11] emanuel__, Among others in Opera (a web browser) [01:12] Younder, are you working on a wolfram contract? [01:12] emanuel__, no [01:12] Jordan_U; not sure === AK|vape is now known as Andorin [01:12] randomusr, if you use ls does the script come up? [01:12] hey I'm out for a bit, thanks everyone for all your help (who helped!) [01:12] VCoolio; sudo -s "./autogen.sh" permissions denied [01:12] loginfliggle i am fairly new linux man , and so is the install, so which is best for me? [01:12] knoppies, yes [01:12] Younder, what was the subject of your dissertation? [01:12] So, I have installed fedora and ubuntu onto my computer. My hard drive is partitioned into Swap, /home, and two / partitions for each OS respectively. Now, my ubuntu loads, but I have no way to use the GUI. How can I get my gnome back? gnome-panel --replace accomplishes nothing from my virtual terminal. [01:12] randomusr: First, don't use sudo unless you know you need it [01:13] Jordan_U it won't respond unless I use sudo [01:13] can anybody help me find the word that means -"debate of thought in the mind" [01:13] Joesomebody: just update it. if your computer won't boot or you have any real issues after the update select an older version on startup [01:13] randomusr: first sudo -s, enter password, then every command is as root, so then ./autogen.sh [01:13] emanuel__, thining about thought [01:13] mrXX, mmm doubt [01:13] jledbetter1: I think the wubi situation complicates thing considerably. [01:13] navatwo, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [01:13] emanuel__, machine intelligence [01:13] loginfliggle ok :) [01:13] usser like that means battle of thoughts [01:13] randomusr: What do you mean "won't respond" ? It's not supposed to produce any output [01:13] arand: Ok [01:13] Hi! I'd like to install Ubuntu on my netbook. Unfortunately, I only have a 512-meg USB drive available. The Ubuntu_Minimal ISO doesn't detect my wireless card correctly. What options do I have? [01:14] I should add, I'm fine with a very minimal OS. [01:14] mrXX, mmm contemplate [01:14] Jordan_U and vcoolio, I ran sudo -s [01:14] then ./autogen.sh [01:14] jledbetter1: Those instructions applies only if you have ubuntu on a separate partition I thin [01:14] got permission denied [01:14] amazing yes, thanks usser [01:14] usser thanks [01:14] QuietRiots, If your wireless card is a broadcom I may be able to help you [01:14] Younder, reasoning about reasoning. I see why you are biased to symbolic..! :-) [01:14] mrXX, hehe [01:14] randomusr: Don't. You shouldn't ever need to compile as root [01:15] Younder, me, I'm an engineer so I really love octave/mathlab. [01:15] bash knows it exists, I must need to change permissions or some junk [01:15] QuietRiots, debian then [01:15] any of you guys figure out how to do IPsec vpn with a road warrior? anything I find on the web is overwhelmingly impossible to decipher... [01:15] emanuel__, you won't find it on the net thouggh. It has been classifiend by the americain millitary. They want to use it for their UCAV's I think. [01:15] randomusr: First switch back to a regular user [01:15] airtonix: I get the same errors as originally came up [01:15] arand: That makes sense. Thank you. [01:15] randomusr: enter "exit" and you're back [01:15] Jordan_U what's the switch? [01:15] -u? [01:15] help pls.. after i upgrade to 9.10 i always here crappy sound on my audio.. like some glitch noise .. help pls. how to fix this [01:15] usser: Thanks for the tip! [01:15] sohail, any reason to use ipsec? do you want to setup a vpn server? [01:15] ok [01:15] usser i think contemplate doesnt fit well with my sentence, [01:15] hello [01:16] regular user [01:16] randomusr: Just "exit" and you will return to your normal user's shell [01:16] randomusr: Then "chmod +x autogen.sh" [01:16] usser it should mean like constant rise of thoughts [01:16] Younder, is the US army a big wolfram account? [01:16] QuietRiots, debian is pretty light, doesnt have all the bloat of the ubuntu, all while being rock solid and stable [01:16] done [01:16] emanuel__, I use that a lot too [01:16] I have the permission for execute [01:16] mrXX, im not sure... [01:16] i need remove the groff but there are something wrong [01:16] I've switched to Ubuntu 9.10 (amd64). Are other people having as much trouble with internet video as I am? [01:16] half of YouTubes videos will not play [01:16] No CNN or MSNBC videos will play at all [01:16] video from CBS plays only the leading commercial [01:16] gantrixx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:17] emanuel__, don't know, don't wanna know [01:17] gantrixx, did you install adobe's flash player? [01:17] yes [01:17] anyone can help me? [01:17] Younder, lol! [01:17] and the plugin [01:17] can anyone help ive got an error: unable to resolve host mail.mydomain.com when i try to run do sudo su... i was trying to setup mail on my server and i think ive broke my host config [01:17] usser: yes, a VPN server [01:17] Jordan_U; can I install intltool from synatic default repos? [01:17] gantrixx, you sure its in use, can you pastebin the about:config page from firefox [01:17] !pastebin | ganadist__ [01:17] ganadist__: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[01:18] usser: ok, I try that. thx [01:18] sohail, is IPsec absolutely required? i find openvpn much nicer and easier for a novice to get going [01:18] Okay, I have installed ubuntu and fedora on separate partitions, sharing a /home partition. Now, upon loading ubuntu I get the following errors: "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/**/.ICEautority", "There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)", "Nautilus oculd not create the following required folders: /home/**/Desktop, /home/**/.nautilus". Following [01:18] a cursor. [01:18] usser: I'd prefer it because I use it already to connect to other networks [01:18] xinchen: "remove the groff" means? [01:18] and afaik, openvpn doesn't work with the software I use (IPsecuritas) [01:19] Can someone assist me with setting up a RAID configuration with Ubuntu 9.04 [01:19] navatwo: The two users probably have different UIDs [01:19] sohail, oh ok, you using openswan? [01:19] usser: on the client? No OSX [01:19] Jordan_U: that makes sense, how cna I fix that? Live CD? [01:19] how do I select from the about:config page? [01:19] Jordan_U; what's with compiling each piece of the application separately and then installing them? [01:19] Younder, what is symbolic computation a'la Mathematica good for, apart from impressing software engineers? [01:20] openswan, nooooo [01:20] I have a Kubuntu .iso, how to create a VM from it? [01:20] navatwo, does both FC and Ubuntu have similar /etc/passwd files? By that I mean does your user have the same number in both versions? [01:20] epinky: exactly... it's friggin impossible to figure out [01:20] gantrixx: just type that into the Firefox address bar [01:20] RenatoSilva: install virtualbox? [01:20] insm0d: I am not sure, they are both fresh instalations. [01:20] usser, is there a particular set of preferences that you need to see? or do I need to paste the whole thing? [01:21] fedora being the first installed on the /home === billgates is now known as Guest14290 [01:21] emanuel__, AXIOM is in many ways better than mathematica, and it is opensource. I suggest you try that [01:21] RenatoSilva: Create a vm vith virtualbox, mount the iso in vbox, install ubuntu in the vm as usual. [01:21] sohail: :D [01:21] Younder, I will [01:21] What program would you recommend to crop/cut videos? [01:21] mneptok, I did, now what? [01:21] anyone can help ----> (lcd) monitor resolution X intel video driver?

[01:59] easy, there is C, the language which most of the software you are using right not is written on. It's not perfect, but it's easy to learn and does some things "easier" than C++ [01:59] C isn't oop oriented [01:59] Billiard: what i find interesting is that when i connect i see the folder, i'm just not allowed to display their contents [02:00] easy, consider it jumping in the deep end. Its sink or swim. [02:00] navatwo: there's something in /etc/grub.d [02:00] Ironicus, indeed it is not. [02:00] looking for a good turtorial on setting up torrent server on jaunty server please help [02:00] but if oyu control C you control the world [02:00] insm0d, I found understanding C more difficult than understanding c++ [02:00] Terabyte: thats normal [02:00] Shu: http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7940291 [02:00] Billiard: so i see that my samba machine has a folder called terabyte (the folder shared) but when i click 'OK, add to share list' it says it can't go in [02:00] Billiard: ok [02:00] i have joined college andn there they started teaching me java.? knoppies. ironicus. insm0d [02:01] Terabyte: so still doesnt work logging in with "different credentials" ? [02:01] c++ is C with oop then some premade object like [02:01] Billiard: correct [02:01] lstarnes: its all scripts [02:01] easy, then start with java. You can always ask your class mates for help. [02:01] ooo [02:01] Ironicus, I think the reason I find C hard is that it isnt object oriented. [02:02] I found a file to add entries, but what do I fill in :( [02:02] navatwo: correct [02:02] navatwo: the new grub configuration in grub 2 for ubuntu uses those scripts for configuration [02:02] navatwo: there's one script in there that is used for adding custom entries [02:02] epinky, I already saw that thread, and didn't understand ANY of it. I really do need to be spoon fed. I'm not a programmer or anything [02:02] oh [02:03] is there a reason there are two packages for wine in synaptic?

I like much better than transmission... but you'll find many preferences [02:10] because the install troubles required to get torrentflux up and running probably aren't worth it [02:10] Billiard: ok i'll have a look around [02:10] you can get transmission up on a server pretty easy I think... and if nothing else you can ssh in [02:10] Shu, I looked at the page you posted, let me see...

I have a new issue with Dual Booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10. It seems every time I install Ubuntu (after having windows 7) after a few reboots, or shut downs, grub starts to do this weird thing. the bios loads, then it says "grub is laoding" or whatever, and then it imediately resets, it doesn't even get to the menu where I can choose an OS, which is essentially locking me out of my system [02:44] any ideas? [02:45] carpunky, i'd do a fschk,, may be a hardware issue, since u have windows then open "my computer" and right click on C drive and go to tools tab, do the disk error checking with both tabs checked.. [02:45] SEa: I have no operating system on the computer in question [02:46] hello i have a serious question [02:46] install the kubuntu [02:46] Is anyone trying to think of a solution? I have a feeling it has to do with the new grub setup with Ubuntu 9.10, as opposed to 9.4, but i do not have the .04 disk anymore [02:47] well carpunky with that many errors i'd check my hardware [02:47] im thinking it happens when i install the nswrappers, so i can load my wireless internet card.... [02:48] but if i do not load the nswrappers..i cant get my internet up [02:48] UbuntuGrubIssue: does this start happening aver using windows? [02:48] i'm having a hard time restoring my grub. i get error 15 file not found when i do 'find /boot/grub/stage1' [02:48] What package can I get wireless drivers for a linksys? [02:48] carpunky, why would u do that? what chipset you have for your wireless card? [02:48] how does vim determine what a line is? [02:48] im running ubuntu 9.10 64bit. 32bit version works but i want to run 64. The opensource wifi driver doesnt work and the proprietary one causes a kernel panic and i can no longer boot into ubuntu had to reinstall twice. [02:49] seidos: as in its line number or as in how to highlight it? [02:49] lstarnes: as in its line number [02:49] ner0x: if it doesnt work out of the box you may have to install some drivers manually [02:49] BILLIARD, (btw, if its easier feel free to IM me) The problem is that I can't even choose an OS, it gets to the part where it says GRUB IS LOADING then resets. the menu doesn't even show up to pick linux or windows [02:49] seidos: I think it determines it by finding newline characters [02:49] it worked in 9.04 [02:49] The last release of kubuntu had it, the newer version doesn't? [02:49] UbuntuGrubIssue: but does the problem start after using windows [02:49] lstarnes: when i move the cursor down it skips a bunch of senteces [02:50] ner0x: which package? [02:50] seidos: there might not be a line break in it [02:50] Billiard: No idea, it worked out of the box. [02:50] lstarnes: do periods count? [02:50] Sea: I do know the chipset, ..i will have to take it out.....i just have the driver for it...if i dont install it, i dont get the window to come up for wirelless drivers [02:50] hmmmm [02:50] seidos: no [02:50] for wireless drivers [02:50] These package contains Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driverfor use with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4321-, andBCM4322-based hardware. [02:50] I had windows first. I did the setup the same way I've always done ubuntu and dual booting. Partition hard drive, install windows, then install ubuntu, because if you install ubuntu last, windows overwrites GRUB and you can't get to your linux partition [02:51] it worked for like 3 days with linux, no grub problem [02:51] ner0x: ive heard a lot that 9.10 has worse wireless card support than that of 9.04 [02:51] lstarnes: i'm trying to edit my novel in vim. maybe i should use another tool? or should i be putting line end characters at the end of every sentence? [02:51] Billiard: Unfortunately I don't have internet access to the machine, so I need to figure out which I need. [02:51] !gedit [02:51] UbuntuGrubIssue: tahts what i was asking, if windows causes it [02:51] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [02:51] ner0x: i dont think a package will slove it [02:51] seidos: you might want to use a text editor better suited to writings [02:51] seidos: maybe emacs or nano [02:52] UbuntuGrubIssue: i've seen others with the same symptons. check the forums for possible help. not trying to run you off; just don't know the fix either. [02:52] seidos: vim might have some useful settings [02:52] Windows does not cause it, i have no idae what does, but windows has never had this problem before [02:52] even the beta [02:52] seidos: novel? like writing a book? [02:53] UbuntuGrubIssue: you just said windows did it [02:53] almoxarife: yes [02:53] carpunky, when you use ndiswrapper and the "windows" drivers,, that means you do not want to use the drivers available to Linux, what is your wireless card? do this in a terminal to find: sudo lshw -C network the "C" is capital [02:53] UbuntuGrubIssue: o sorry i misread, you meant if you install last [02:53] SEa: sec [02:54] no. i said i cannot boot into either OS. lol [02:54] yeah. [02:54] UbuntuGrubIssue: can you answer my question, does the problem start, after using windows [02:54] carpunky, just type sea and hit the "tab" key to reply to me [02:54] I don;t understand your question billiard [02:54] UbuntuGrubIssue: does grub work as long as you dont boot windows? [02:55] i can't get to either OS to load, so whether it is windows or free bsd or even OSX it doesnt matter [02:55] grub doesnt load [02:55] grub_booter: when it did load [02:55] it just says "grub is loading" [02:55] seidos: use the installed openoffice 'writer' [02:55] then it restarts [02:55] grub_booter: when it did work, did using windows cause it to not work [02:55] seayour command got cutoff - C network ? [02:56] carpunky, its- sudo lshw -C network the "C" is capital [02:56] iBilliard, I had my hard drive partitioned, I installed windows on partition 1, partition 2 is "media" and partition 3 is for linux (whihc is really 2, swap and ext4) [02:56] im running ubuntu 9.10 64bit. 32bit version works but i want to run 64. The opensource wifi driver doesnt work and the proprietary one causes a kernel panic and i can no longer boot into ubuntu had to reinstall twice. [02:56] obviously with one OS at the time there was no need for a bootloader [02:56] almoxarife: i did. i only use it now to convert the document to pdf. I switched to gedit, then wanted to try vim. [02:56] and carpunky hit tab til u see my nick,, ;-) [02:57] I'm trying to setup postfix what option do I pick when trying to relay through gmail? [02:57] UbuntuGrubIssue: grub did work for a short time correct? [02:57] i installed Ubuntu 9.1 a few days later onto the ext4 partition, and with it came grub. it worked fine for 3 days [02:57] now it doesnt [02:57] i reisntalled ubuntu. [02:57] twice now [02:57] seidos: have fun :) [02:57] anyone know how to use packagedepends.py [02:57] UbuntuGrubIssue: and it works after reinstalling right? you can repair grub without reinstalling also [02:57] and now its getting to the point where i have to every time i shut down, if i wanna use my computer i have to install linux every time or leave windows in hybernate mode [02:57] almoxarife: i'll try, and thank you [02:58] How does one get the latest firefox in 8.04 instead of whatever old version ubuntu thinks you should have? [02:58] yes but i dont want to hve to cary my stupid grub disk around to use my computer [02:58] lol [02:58] seidos: you can look into using latex. use pdflatex to convert to pdf. [02:58] Ello all [02:58] UbuntuGrubIssue: please answer my quesion now, when grub works for ~3 days does it stop working after using windows, does windows cause it? [02:59] carpunky, its called "tab-completion" if you type seap and hit tab and it will either complete my nick or another's, hit tab again and it will go to the next, maybe mine [02:59] i'm trying to restore my grub after a windows 7 install. i'm following some guides, but the 'find /boot/grub/stage1' step produces error 15: file not found. any ideas? [02:59] ... Billiard. Windows doesn't cause any problems. it doesnt matter what OS i'm using, after I shut down, grub stops working. whether i shut down from linux or windows. [02:59] agusj__. you need to install python. [02:59] UbuntuGrubIssue: thats what i was asking, if it happens even when only using linux [02:59] it happens both times [03:00] both os's [03:00] im trying to sniff my port 80 while sending data to a online flash game. when I send data I find nothing in my logs. So i dont know how it communicates with server and what data it is sending. how can i sniff that? [03:00] UbuntuGrubIssue: idk then sorry [03:01] UbuntuGrubIssue, you could chroot from install cd and downgrade to legacy grub or even use lilo if you wanted [03:01] fcuk112: what editor should i use for latex? [03:01] seidos: personally i would go with gedit or vim. [03:02] venger: lilo wont boot windows will it? [03:02] brsoft, you could use tcpdump to determine what port is being used... [03:02] Hi I'm having problems with ubuntu 9.10, the screen gets blanck when swchting from graphic mode to a virtual console and then back. I've an ATI Radeon card [03:02] venger, can you be more specific [03:02] Billiard, the concern lies mostly in if you know how to configure the entries however liloconfig populates a base config [03:02] Anyone know how to remove the "Welcome to Grub" dialog that appears for a second before grub2 loads? [03:02] seems to be a well knowm problem (I've read in the register) [03:03] how can I disable kernel modesetting? [03:03] i certainly don't mind using legacy, and it would be a hell of a lot easier than finding a new linux distro. [03:03] Billiard dude can i have separate folders for each of my email account in Evolution instead of all going to the same inbox? [03:03] How do I figure out my ip [03:03] help pls. after i upgrade to 9.10 i have audio issue... i hear noisy sound coming from my speaker when playing mp3's.. how can i fix this.. help pls [03:04] !audio [03:04] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [03:04] mrXX: not sure sorry [03:04] doltek: ifconfig === andy is now known as Guest37642 [03:04] Venger, how do I get to the " choose which version of grub" from the cd? [03:04] guys, is it possible to have each mail go to its own account folder in Evolution? [03:05] UbuntuGrubIssue, thats where the chroot comes into play [03:05] ok, I need a good guide on sharing screens with ubuntu... NOW! HELP :( [03:06] venger, what is Chroot and how do i ge tto it? [03:06] how to increase screen resolution in VirtualBox for Kubuntu up from 800x600? That's the max value available in KDE config. [03:06] venger, is it a command? [03:07] I am getting a Segmentation fault when tring to install Deluge sudo apt-get install deluge-webui [03:07] VirtualBox is buggy btw [03:07] RenatoSilva, I think you need to install guest additions or something. [03:07] RPG_Master, maybe this will help..http://www.ubuntugeek.com/share-your-ubuntu-desktop-using-remote-desktop.html [03:07] UbuntuGrubIssue, are you able to do the steps now? i'll entertain walking you through it if it is a seperate machine [03:07] knoppies: ok will try, if I can get at least the vm booting. It fails randomly. [03:08] knoppies: but what are guest additions btw? [03:09] RenatoSilva: they are some drivers and stuff for the guest os made to work with vboxs virtual devices [03:09] Is it possible to boot the livecd up to the command line only, no graphics? [03:09] I'm on my wife;'s mac. [03:09] so yes. [03:09] but could you PM me? there's too much crap going on here [03:09] So there aren't any "specific" ubuntu packages for wireless drivers? [03:09] yep [03:09] I am getting a Segmentation fault when tring to install Deluge sudo apt-get install deluge-webui [03:09] hi, is there another way on dumping the result into a file? like this one sudo ruby pcap_reader.rb -i eth0 > result.txt [03:09] Billiard: guest os? [03:09] malsyned: using the alternate cd yes. [03:09] RenatoSilva: the os inside your vbox [03:09] Billiard: ok [03:10] malsyned: I think the livecd can only be booted one way [03:10] RenatoSilva, guest additions also add some handy functionality. [03:10] bastid_raZor: "Install Ubuntu"? "Rescue a Broken System"? [03:10] snuffy47: are you getting that during install? [03:10] malsyned: you asked if you get a command line boot from a cd.. the alternate cd will do this. [03:11] bastid_raZor: OK, I'm giving it a shot... [03:11] w/ ChogyDan: It checks tree and then yes [03:11] thanks [03:11] knoppies: have to turn vm off? [03:11] knoppies: clicked it and nothing happened [03:11] malsyned: o wait, I think there is some sort of option you can pass to the kernel to tell it to enter a certain cli only run level [03:11] RenatoSilva: you will have to access the cd in your guest os and run the installer [03:11] ChogyDan: yeah, that would be good. [03:11] snuffy47: so you run: sudo apt-get install deluge-webui and you get a segfault? [03:12] Billiard: why? the system is already installed [03:12] dministrator@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install deluge-webui [03:12] Reading package lists... Done [03:12] Building dependency tree [03:12] Reading state information... Done [03:12] Segmentation fault [03:12] snuffy47: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:12] Billiard: the installer of what [03:12] oppps [03:13] Billiard: how if I go to synaptic and search for the right package? [03:13] snuffy47: [03:13] snuffy47: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/14818.html [03:13] oops! malsyned: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/14818.html [03:14] RenatoSilva: sorry im not sure if that package is for the guest os or the host os, someone here will know, ive just used the installer on the guest additions cd with vbox [03:14] snuffy47: does a sudo apt-get update work still? [03:14] w/ ChogyDan: let me check [03:14] ChogyDan: I'll try that. thanks. [03:14] Billiard: ok [03:14] RenatoSilva, I did this a while ago, so I may be wrong (my memory is not so good) [03:15] RenatoSilva, are you using the virtualbox ose edition of the binary edition downloaded from virtualbox's website? [03:15] Billiard: knoppies: I've got a cd mounted in the vm, with stuff inside [03:15] or the, i mean* [03:15] RenatoSilva, try run the binary in that CD, make sure to look for the one that sounds the most correct for your guest OS [03:16] RenatoSilva: ok open a terminal cd to the cd and run the installer as root [03:16] w/ ChogyDan: it still works [03:16] d9500: bin dist [03:16] Spurs_: why would I wand to join a hackers thread? [03:16] Someone can kline Spurs_ ? [03:16] RenatoSilva, if that doesnt work, then try search for guest additions with synaptic. [03:16] w/ ChogyDan: did a reboot and all is good maybes there is a hardware fault [03:16] RenatoSilva, is your guest OS ubuntu? [03:16] RenatoSilva, ok, and your vm is open now, correct? dumb question i know, but i'm going to try to walk through step by step here [03:16] knoppies: i think the guest additions is for the host os correct? [03:17] knoppies: the package that is [03:17] knoppies: kubuntu [03:17] snuffy47: yeah, that is weird. That is an issue with apt, not deluge [03:17] d9500: I have a mounted cd in the vm after clicking the guest additions out of the vm [03:17] w/ ChogyDan: is there a good link to test hardware from command line [03:17] Billiard, I think it is for the guest OS, I remember having trouble using the .iso so I used the ones in synaptic, and it worked. But I was using a Gnome ubuntu as my Guest OS. [03:17] snuffy47: sorry, i dont know [03:18] w/ ChogyDan: thnaks for the help [03:18] knoppies: its for the host, it says in the description [03:18] Billiard, ah, then my memory is worse than I thought. [03:18] Billiard, sorry, I did this a long time ago. its all hazy [03:18] RenatoSilva, ok, the installer adds a custom X driver built for vbox's virtual video card, so as far as i know, to install it requires stopping x. in other words, the next steps i'm going to tell you will kill the gui on the vm. just be prepared for that. [03:19] knoppies: provides an iso image ... guest additions for Linux ... to be installed on the host system. [03:19] knoppies: i wasnt sure either i had to look [03:19] d9500: look [03:19] hello guys, i have a problem with my clock changing time whenever i boot windows. [03:19] d9500: tried sudo /media/cdrom/autorun.sh, but get Error: gksu not found [03:19] Billiard, ok. then I must have used the .iso and got it working. [03:20] x33a: ubuntu is probably using the system clock as UTC time and windows isnt [03:20] did any one managed to use msn voice [03:20] actually i am on arch, and set it to localtime. [03:20] knoppies: yeah if you found where the package put the iso, that probably would work too [03:21] Billiard, even if I installed the package on the Guest OS. maybe. [03:21] renatosilva, don't use gksu. since the cd is already mounted. open a terminal and do sudo service gdm stop (or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop if using an os for the guest machine that is 9.04 or earlier). subtitude kdm for gdm if you are running kubuntu as the guest os. [03:21] d9500, I think he is using kubuntu as the guest OS. [03:22] d9500: tried ---sudo--- /media/cdrom/autorun.sh, but get Error: gksu not found [03:23] RenatoSilva, don't use the autorun. [03:23] Is there some way to put a mark in the dmesg log so I can see differentiate the stuff that coming up from what was there before? Like a ========== [03:24] d9500: ok, out of ui, now what [03:24] how to create multi-boot dvd? [03:24] RenatoSilva, login as your username, if you haven't done so already. then cd to /media [03:25] d9500: ok [03:25] d9500: now? [03:25] RenatoSilva, when i installed gyuest additions, i had to cd to cdrom0 after that, but sometimes cd'ing to cdrom willl work. try cd cdrom first [03:26] d9500: ... [03:26] d9500: now what? [03:26] RenatoSilva, then do ls and see if it shows any files. if it does, then on to the next step. if not, then do cd /media/cdrom0 and run ls again. [03:26] d9500: ls nshow file [03:26] I'm back, this time, I can't get my ethernet driver. Can someone tell me if this page is valid: http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx [03:26] files [03:27] navatwo: not for me [03:27] Damn.. [03:27] I need that driver [03:27] RenatoSilva, youre looking for a file that starts with "VBoxLinuxAdditions" [03:27] navatwo: its not in the kernel? [03:28] d9500: what is the full name you want? [03:28] ChogyDan: nope.. for some reason it was removed in the most recent one.. [03:28] lame! [03:28] RenatoSilva, there are two of them, one that ends in x86.run and one that ends in x64.run. it will either be VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run, or VBoxLinuxAdditions-x64.run. [03:29] the kernel used in 9.04 has it [03:29] amd64.run, i mean [03:29] :s [03:29] RenatoSilva, which one you need to use depends on whether your vm is 32 bit or 64 bit [03:29] navatwo: I was able to boot that kernel in 9.10. Ive no idea the side affects of that, but it worked [03:30] d9500: installing, thanks [03:31] RenatoSilva, no prob...as long as you installed the correct one for your architecture (x86 or amd64,) all you have to do now is wait for the installer to finish and then run sudo reboot. [03:31] d9500: just don't get why shut kdm down, but ok [03:32] RenatoSilva, it might not be necessary, but i was under the impression that if you're reconfiguring xorg.conf (which the installer does, at least it did it on my machine, you cannot have X running at the same time. [03:33] uit [03:33] d9500: ok rebooting [03:34] !audio [03:34] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

Do I unmount my /home, resize, remount it, partition the new space, and...? [03:35] RenatoSilva, if the additions installed correctly, you should be able to move the mouse pointer freely between the host machine and the guest machine after reboot, without using the ctrl key to lock and unlock the mouse. you should also be able to, by maximizing the VM window, then restoring it, maximizing again, then hitting ctrl+f--sometimes you have to try several times, it can be stubborn--to go to fullscreen mode on the vm [03:36] *partition the new space Should've been format the new space [03:36] guys what is the server address for yahoo for evolution? i m tired of trying [03:37] ubuntu, fedora, openSUSE, mint, freespire billiard [03:37] mrXX, I don't quite know anymore...sadly [03:38] On my thinkpad t61p, if I sleep, I can't recover (it just freezes -- black screen) -- any ideas?

[03:59] thanks [03:59] GaToR1, yes you should sign in as root [03:59] np sumeetbali [03:59] ^Alright, thanks. [03:59] GaToR1, you probably just need to `chmod +x /path/to/your/script` unless it requires root priv [03:59] http://stoneredition.com/downloads/StonedAllDayLong-v0.2.tar [03:59] ...srsly?

It also has programs crash every now and then, but they generally recover, and every time I log in I have to reboot for it to load all the way. How do I fix these problems? [04:04] tommynz1975, good man. [04:04] just want a conenction log [04:04] bman, that's a plug in to asterix isn't it?

[04:09] has anyone tried the standalone version of docky yet? [04:09] Is there a set of solutions to the issues too yet or not? [04:09] [04:09] digeratiX, ? there's a stand-alone ver? does it still require compositing? 'cause I hate compositing. [04:09] i believe it does [04:09] I have a problem maximising my windows remote desktop when I log into my office pc using citrix from my ubuntu karmic home pc [04:09] digeratiX, then I don't care. this tiling wm is growing on me, I thought it would suck ass, but it doesn't. [04:10] haha === locum is now known as Locum [04:10] joljam, that's probably because your rdp client doesn't support scaling. [04:10] joljam, you using the citrix client? [04:10] nvm [04:10] joljam, you using the citrix client? [04:11] joljam, as in the official receiver?

Stupid irc... [04:11] digeratiX, ahh, right on. [04:12] citrix client [04:12] joljam, latest ver? [04:12] yes [04:12] joljam, what ver of citrix on the other end? [04:12] lemme check...

[04:14] Sodaphish: I am using the same versionof Citrix as I was on ubuntu jaunty [04:15] dr3mro, dunno about msn as i dont have a account [04:15] try this [04:15] in ubuntu jaunty it was having a problem in the beginning but for some reason it started working properly later [04:15] sudo apt-get install telepathy-sofiasip telepathy-butterfly telepathy-idle libtelepathy-farsight0 python-tpfarsight [04:16] dr3mro, seen this: http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/Protocols [04:17] where is the best place to rage about the lack of a "cancel" button in gnome? [04:17] Is it common on Ubuntu 9.10 for programs to lock up for a second when other programs are running? [04:17] jauntyjoe: #ubuntu-offtopic [04:17] jauntyjoe: #gnome [04:17] Bug: I just played Briquolo, after a few levels my computer locked up completely. Not even ctrl+alt+backspace worked [04:17] no responsiveness anywhere [04:18] ty bastid_raZor & losha [04:18] Trezker_, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace has been disabled by default since 9.04 from what I read [04:18] No I reenabled it myself === Trezker_ is now known as Trezker [04:18] REIMPLEMENT ctrl-tab and ctrl-alt-bksp [04:19] I have ubuntu for netbook-- can you get the rotating cube effect with this [04:19] What netbook do you have? [04:19] paul1: netbook remix does not have compiz [04:19] bman, you can enable ctrl-alt-bksp easily, it's a option in a menu somewhere [04:19] eeepc [04:19] paul1, Preferences->Appearance [04:19] set it to the highest [04:20] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-enabledisable-ctrlaltbackspace-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic.html [04:20] don't know about ctrl-tab [04:20] i HATE netbooks!

[04:20] install simpleccsm [04:21] lucid lynx [04:21] this isnt a LTS release [04:21] Lucid is [04:21] ok i will try it thanks [04:21] lucid is gonna be sweet [04:21] why my mplayer has no sound? [04:22] your mplayer has no sound? My totem has no sound while mplayer works [04:23] sweeter than karmic?? I'm going to have to see that one [04:24] anyone got a sip account setup correctly with karmic empathy? [04:24] Anyone know what causes these complete freezes? I play a 3D game for a bit and suddenly it freezes the whole system. Can't get any response, not even possible to log in remotely to kill the offending app. [04:25] maybe bad ram? [04:25] that was my problem a while ago [04:25] thanks for the sudgeston to get xchat, less of a system hog than, pidgin [04:25] Trezker, it could be the 3D drivers or hardware, motherboard, ram, cpu [04:25] Enter text here... [04:25] run the memtest [04:25] tommynz1975: irssi has even less of a footprint [04:25] I've had leaky apps eat up all my ram but that didn't freeze anything, it just made things very slow [04:26] Trezker, even a fan that's not working could freeze your machine [04:26] in my experiences whole system freezes are generally because of overheating or failing hardware [04:26] PIdgen has a bad leak on windows that I have seen eat up >2 GB of ram. [04:27] I had the same problem when programming with allegro, but only when I didn't use sleep to yield the processor [04:27] really bastid_raZor :) the comparison for this second, for system resorces is been like going from win xp to dapper [04:27] Trezker, what distribution youre using? Jaunty crashed my desktop constantly so I had to stay with intrepid, I installed karmic once it came out, never been happier [04:28] I've installed karmic [04:28] Old profile still intact from jaunty though, if that could have anything to do with it [04:29] Trezker, Id say the same thing digeratiX mentioned, it could be overheating i'd say due to a faulty fan or it could be some hardware that's failing, ram, motherboard, hard drive, etc. [04:30] could be, I have a fan that's quirky [04:30] Trezker, or it could also be that karmic doest like your hardware and the drivers crash [04:30] Trezker, monitor your machine's temperature [04:31] mezquitale, do you know of ubuntu software that monitors temperatures? [04:31] mezquitale, I read somewhere that it is possible to remove such "self-monitoring" from your system. Is that true? [04:32] knoppies, go to "add/remove" and search for "temperature" [04:32] were the bugs related to the msi wind fixed yet? [04:32] would be nice o have machine temperature monitoring in the system monitor [04:33] join #netbsd [04:33] oops [04:33] greezmunkey, yes [04:33] hey [04:34] mezquitale, I think what I saw required removing a package...

[04:38] Hi, I've been trying to get a banning system going for a cod4 server I have running, I have been using iptables so far to ban, is there a better way to do this?, I preferably want to just ban the IP:PORT [04:40] anyone here? [04:40] yes [04:40] ah ok [04:40] dauwdghald, your flaw is that most people have a Dynamic IP, and every time they reset their modem they can login again. [04:40] pptpd, isn't that vpn server? [04:40] yes people are here dauwdghald , possibly they are looking up information for your question [04:41] dauwdghald, sorry I dont know anything about cod4 servers or iptables.

[04:42] knoppies, yeah that is a problem, but it will at least stop them from rejoining till their lease expires, which for most isps is about a week [04:43] Hello I spent like 8 months trying to get my usb wireless to work under ubuntu...I finally did...just it seems to work then stops and its not getting a very good signal yet under (windows gasp) it gets a good signal...any ideas? its a dwa 160 d link usb stick thing..any help would be appreciated. [04:43] smwnn, we read it the first time. I gave up on wireless. [04:43] how do you reset the top gnome menu bar? I've lost it and can't find it :/ [04:43] smwnn, please dont repeat so quickly, someone will answer if they know [04:43] no bottom menu bar either [04:43] how do I find out the uuid of my hard drives? [04:43] dauwdghald, possibly banning the isp could work? or use a non traditional port?

[04:47] Hi, Did anyone have any success with installing kuechenstation on Karmic? I get an error message about python needing to be 2.5 or lower (2.6 is installed), and it doesn't change when I install 2.5 or 2.4 alongside 2.6 [04:47] I'm using ubuntu 9.10 and I'm trying to install an init script which installs nvidia drivers. It needs autofs to be running because it lives in a network location. I have an upstart config for it which has been told to "start on stopped rc-sysinit". Which to the best of my knowledge means after all of the old sysvinit scripts have been run (including autofs) it should start as well. I've also tried "start on started rc-sysinit" but it never se [04:47] ems to run. What am I doing wrong? [04:47] Hi, do you want to join my forum? Is www.lolos.pixforums.net [04:47] then again i just noticed its doing the same under windows:/ now [04:47] maybe its not ubuntu [04:48] I'm using lice CD, so my name will now be ubunti [04:48] I would try changing the wireless channel smwnn [04:48] welcom back smwn , you didnt seem to have a lag issue before or now, just so you know, Can I ask have you done a search on ubuntuforums for your question?? [04:49] a_little_tired: why do you want an init script to install nvidia drivers? [04:49] @smwnn, I have had a difference of 10 db by just changing channels on the router, might be worth a try [04:49] I have a program tha doesnt support SFTP, so I need FTP... whats a good program to use for Ubuntu Server 9.10??? [04:50] Hi guys, whats up! [04:50] hello [04:50] not much [04:50] Dravekx: install vsftpd ? [04:50] Billiard, thanks :) [04:51] Hi guys, I'm have a forum too... Is called www.lolos.pixforum.net is stand for Lolosoft. [04:51] I might look into that myself [04:51] (the vsftpd, I mean) [04:51] I need someone to give me idea for Lolosoft, you are welcome to join!!! [04:51] I'm trying to tether my iphone to ubuntu 9.10 to use 3G internet. I'm doing it through a blue tooth connection and I'm using bluemanager 1.21. I can pair my phone to my laptop, I can turn on tethering in my iphone and when I attempt a NAP connection via bluemanager the iphone displays "Internet tethering enabled" and yet it always fails to connect. http://pastebin.com/d56147f1e here is a syslog when i attempt connection. You can see the dhclient isn't g === nubuntu is now known as kartook [04:51] Seems wireless is a common issue here. I have a normal BroadCom card that is for sure supported. It has worked perfect for months. Today on reboot the card does not work anymore. I looked in the hardware drivers app in the administration menu and the drivers are no longer listed. (only my nvidia drivers are and the list used to be populated with misc wireless drivers) The kernel module that it uses "b43" no longer loads on boot, [04:51] and modprobing it doesn't help. Any thoughts? [04:51] !ot | Lozu_ [04:52] Lozu_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:52] Lozu_, dont advertise here [04:52] hey bazhang do you have any other ideas? thats not working for me, when I try and run gnome-panel on its own I get Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing [04:52] If you need any additional info please ask [04:53] fyi, this is after getting compiz working with xinerama on dual video cards. I have effects working, just no top or bottom menu bars [04:54] arobitag, that might be affecting it then; not sure about how compiz plays into that as I dont use it [04:54] compiz bites... [04:54] http://www.flickr.com/photos/38322776@N04/4100050096/ shows what I mean about the drivers. this list used to have many. [04:54] Billiard: It's used to easily switch between different driver versions by people who don't have root access. They set the driver version they want in a config file and reboot. Different drivers work better with different software packages and it's useful to test multiple versions with them. [04:54] I found a bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/352716 that appears to be resolved [04:55] will stop by and look in again later on people.. take care. [04:55] have a delima [04:55] Blue1: no.. lack of graphics acceleration on my desktop because I want to run triple monitors bites [04:55] what is xinerama? === cp is now known as Guest79083 [04:55] arobitag: that sounds like a personal problem [04:55] Billiard: It's done on reboot because X isn't running and the nvidia module isn't loaded. Sometimes you can't unload it even when X has been stopped. [04:55] but compiz still bites [04:55] nic1: allows you to setup multiple monitors to act as one screen [04:56] Xinerama is an extension to the X Window System which enables multi-headed X applications and window managers to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. [04:56] a_little_tired: so your script isnt running at all? [04:56] anyone compile a program outside and move? [04:56] my sister has then in windows (dual monitor) I hate it [04:56] completely different distors [04:56] Gutzmek: define outside and move [04:56] Billiard: It doesn't appear to be [04:56] Blue1: actually its a pretty common problem, by default you can't drag applications across monitors without xinerama [04:56] Billiard: what does upstart offer in the way of logging? [04:57] Is quiet true... [04:57] I've never heard of that...I am a 1 monitor guy - but I DO have a big fat cat! [04:57] vetween me and the monitor [04:57] Blue1: hahaha nice [04:57] a_little_tired: dunno, if its in /etc/rc.... and its executable it should run ?

[04:58] hello [04:58] I'm trying to set up ip banning for a COD4 server, I would like to know if its possible to have a list of ips and be able to add ips to that list and have them banned automatically, and also be able to take ips out of the list to unban. [04:58] kameron: virtual box works well for me [04:58] the best virtual is something like kmenu [04:58] want to move and test console apps mods to the ubuntu device [04:58] arobitag, alright i'll give it a got. [04:58] I don't remember the name [04:58] Blue1: hahaha nice, my cats do that all day but just lay on the bed where they won't get bothered [04:59] just came back on Ubuntu, so I thought I'd say hi. Also, this Karmic Koala version is great, so I would like to congratulate anyone who's worked on it, if they're here [04:59] does anyone know how to make a gui show up on a remote machine's display that has been started through an ssh session? The remote machine is in gnome using the same username. I just want a program (say, firefox) to open on my friend's machine when I start it from an ssh session.

[05:01] The virtual machine for Linux Ubuntu is QEMU [05:01] @mohan: try materm -h, or materm --help or man materm [05:01] Blue1: i tried materm -start in terminal window. but its saying command not found [05:01] The virtual machine for Linux Ubuntu is QEMU [05:02] mohan_: Is materm installed?

[05:02] mohan_: may not be in your path [05:02] Omlette: i installed it using synaptic pkg mgr [05:02] @greezmunkey, how would i go about doing that, not extremely experienced when it comes to either of those, but i am using a database for the cod4 server [05:03] and iptables to ban [05:03] actually i am looking for alternative to terminal [05:03] mohan_: xterm? [05:03] i am so used to to terminal [05:03] because my ssh connections are getting timedout with in very less time [05:04] mohan_: on a lan?

[05:04] i got errors when i connect to win2003 server with tsclient [05:04] mohan_: :-/ [05:05] smwnn, you would probably get the best range by setting it to "N G and B: [05:05] Blue1: how can i avoid ssh timeout to my sever [05:05] mohan_: thinking about that... [05:05] Blue1: if the session is idle for sometime its timing out [05:05] If you use ssh a lot, you may have noticed that your ssh session times out and you’re logged out every once in a while. Annoying isn’t it? [05:05] Read from remote host ocaoimh.ie: Connection reset by peer [05:05] Connection to ocaoimh.ie closed. [05:05] There’s a quick fix for that. Actually, there are 2 ways to fix it. You only need to do one of them so choose whichever one is easiest for you. You’ll need root access, so for most people it’s probably safer to do the client fix rather than the server fix. [05:05] NetBot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:06] NetBot: yes exactly [05:06] OK, I give a shot!

[05:07] dauwdghald, The database would require a bit of frontend programming, which would take time.

[05:11] where can I get a sources.list for jaunty? === bryan is now known as Guest23819 [05:11] Blue1: i changed ssh_config, uncommented ConnectTimeout 0 [05:11] i think that is it... [05:11] mohan_: I think that is it... [05:11] Blue1: but it didnt solve the issue [05:12] mohan_: is there an idle timeout? [05:12] Blue1: there is nothing like that in ssh_config [05:12] mohan_: :-( [05:13] Blue1: lets take the help of other ubuntu gurus here [05:13] Why is it that when I copy or move something between my harddrives och usb drives my whole desktop and browsing in firefox becomes slow and choppy? [05:14] Seems wireless is a common issue here. I have a normal BroadCom card that is for sure supported. It has worked perfect for months. Today on reboot the card does not work anymore. I looked in the hardware drivers app in the administration menu and the drivers are no longer listed. (only my nvidia drivers are and the list used to be populated with misc wireless drivers) The kernel module that it uses "b43" no longer loads on boot, [05:14] and modprobing it doesn't help. And it does not have a line in lspci anymore. Any thoughts? [05:14] Hi, could anyone plz help me to fix ssh idle timeout issue? [05:14] mohan_: yup that's beyond my knowledge level now - sorry [05:14] Any geeks there for tsclient I got a verity of errors when I connect to win2003 using tsclient [05:14] It is not the drive with swap partition on.. happen with additional drives also. accesstime out over network to other box and such transfers also.. [05:14] Mohan, I havnt tried this before but you could try running top while you arent doing anything in the ssh session [05:14] then it would probably keep it active [05:15] dauwdghald: ok [05:15] unless your already running a program in the ssh session and its timing out, cause i dont know the problem then [05:16] noone having this problem system going slow when moving or copying information between drives and network shares? [05:17] dauwdghald: if i continue to work in that session, it wont time out, if i am doing any activity in taht session, then its getting timedout [05:17] Mist_, run top , start a file transfer, then check your cpu usage, see if you can determine if your box is topped out. [05:18] greezmunkey: botth cores are running pretty high yeah.. could this be something about cpu scaling and kernel issue it is often mentioned in kernel discussions about? === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [05:19] mohan_: so is the ssh session active and it times out when you aren't actually doing anything in it? [05:19] dauwdghald: yes. exactly [05:19] Mist_, probably, what about memory and swap usage while transferring files? [05:19] maco, hi [05:20] (tsclient problem) I got a verity of errors when I connect to win2003 using tsclient [05:20] ah, yeah, try running top when your in the session, i think that might keep it active, then just ctrl-c when you need ot use the session again [05:21] @mohan ^ [05:23] greezmunkey: only running about top 90% of both cores on this intel bonanza P4 dualcore 3.0 ghz with usage 800 mb of 2 gb mem. Swap isn't touched. Hmm.. feels like userspace is stepping in between whenever disk access is happening. [05:24] Just installed 9.10 and can't get my GeForce 8400GS card to do anything over 800x600. Have tried the restrictive drivers and envy. What am I missing? [05:24] Mist_, have you tried a file transfer with the gdm shut down? What were the results? [05:24] Is it possible to connect to the Ubuntu installer remotely, in a form of remote desktop? I'm going to have to walk a fairly non-technical person through a Ubuntu install, but would rather I be able to connect to the installer directly. [05:24] Hey please help, how do i specify the order in which program starts? [05:25] IdeAlEss, i have an geforece 8400 gs also [05:25] IdeAlEss, did you have ubuntu search for the recommended drivers? [05:25] 9.10 looses my wireless after a few reboots. Done this twice now. lspci shows it there , ifconfig eth1 shows eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [05:26] lspci shows it is there [05:26] thiebaude, yes. It came up on first boot with the restrictive drivers dialog. Was running just under 1900x1440 on gentoo a hour ago. [05:26] fokuslee: I've never heard of any way too, but you might be able to install openssh server and use x11 forwarding [05:26] skinnypup, try ifdown (interface), then ifup (interface) [05:26] thiebaude, I let it install the recommended 180? version [05:26] i cannot open local files in my browser (file:///) how do i enable this? version 3.0.11 in ubuntu. i tried adding some lines to me prefs.js, but it didnt work [05:26] IdeAlEss, its 185 [05:27] greezmunkey: ah.. hmm.. this is kde though. I could try that of course . I also notice that I have about just 10 mbps transfer on this gigabit interface over a gigabit switch to a gigabit interface on the receiving end also.. could be a intel gigabit ethernet issue.. remember I had this on 7.x also. [05:27] greezmunkey, I have , no go [05:27] thiebaude, was going from memory. [05:27] greezmunkey, ifconfig eth1 up [05:27] eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [05:27] ok [05:27] skinnypup, try sudo ifdown (int) [05:27] thats what i mean it looses eth1 , done this twice but worked fine a few reboots . [05:27] IdeAlEss, did you reboot after install of the drivers? [05:28] skinnypup, then sudo ifup (int) [05:28] thiebaude, yes, several times. [05:28] IdeAlEss, sudo nvidia-settings [05:28] skinnypup, then check ifconfig to see if it is there... [05:28] IdeAlEss, to set your resolution and hit apply [05:29] greezmunkey, same thing as root [05:29] Nith i thought you use to be able to specify it in .session [05:29] i have to move the mouse around in order to make the harddrive read with ahci enabled on my lenovo s12 in 9.10. anyone familiar with this issue and know about threads covering it? [05:29] Nith your suggestion seem pretty complicated [05:29] greezmunkey, on both up and down eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [05:30] thiebaude, lol, yeah been there. Highest res available is 1360x768 not much here to do. [05:30] skinnypup, try sudo lshw -C network [05:30] fokuslee: if all you want is for you to run the installer remotely, then you instruct them how to connect to the network [05:30] fokuslee: then tell them to "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" everything else is done by you through ssh [05:30] IdeAlEss, so when your in nvidia-settings you cant change diff resolutions? [05:31] fokuslee: it might get messy if there are firewalls and the like though, you're right [05:31] greezmunkey, this part looks pertinant *-network:0 DISABLED [05:31] thiebaude, my monitor is a ViewSonic PT795. It is just seeing it as CRT-1. Do I need to install a profile for it or something? [05:31] Hello I have problems with bluetooth: the icon appears in gray and doesn't let me do nothing. My acer aspire bluetooth button does anything: Instead of turning bluetooth on, the volume bar appears, wtf? need help pls [05:31] aspire 4520* [05:32] greezmunkey, it is the eth1 , wireless I didn't want to post in full [05:32] IdeAlEss, i dont know [05:32] skinnypup, are you using NetworkManager? [05:32] anyone able to use the alsa drivers with creative x-fi sound card? [05:32] greezmunkey, NM applet is running [05:32] Hello I have problems with bluetooth: the icon appears in gray and doesn't let me do nothing. My acer aspire 4520 bluetooth button does anything: Instead of turning bluetooth on, the volume bar appears, wtf? need help pls [05:32] thiebaude, I can bounce back and forth between 800x600 and 1024x768 at 60Hz. [05:33] skinnypup, check your settings there, under eth1 properties [05:33] IdeAlEss, did you goto Nvidia X server settings? [05:33] I can't seem to figure out how to get full resolution with VESA ( sis card ) [05:34] thiebaude, not sure where you mean by that. The X Screen tab? === jimmy_ is now known as lolnub [05:34] greezmunkey, wireless option isn't showing in applet on left click, right click to connection information shows under wireless my config. [05:34] anyone knows my mac is better than linux? [05:34] IdeAlEss, sudo nvidia-settings in a terminal [05:34] why* [05:34] IdeAlEss, 2nd option is X Server Display Configuration [05:34] !ot | lolnub [05:34] lolnub: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:34] Hello I have problems with bluetooth: the icon appears in gray and doesn't let me do nothing. My acer aspire 4520 bluetooth button does anything: Instead of turning bluetooth on, the volume bar appears, wtf? need help pls [05:35] greezmunkey, but there is no longer a wireless to connect to , its not the netcard i can pxe slax onto it and its fine [05:35] skinnypup, no eth1? [05:35] thiebaude, yes, that is where I have been changing things The default "Display" setting dialog gives and error and redirects me. [05:35] greezmunkey, nope [05:35] greezmunkey, just auto eth0 [05:35] hi. i acheived what i taught was impossible. just to make sure. can i have more than 4 partitions in a hdd? [05:35] Nith, im just a end user trying to get compiz-fusion to work with screenlets, not a network admin : ) you give me too much credit LOL [05:36] skinnypup, what does /etc/network/interfaces have in it? [05:36] greezmunkey, Two fresh ubu 9.10 installs in 2 days. [05:36] i have 3 primary, one extended with two partitions inside. i want to install windows inside the extended part [05:36] Or maybe.. this is an issue of having desktop effects on in kubuntu 9.04.. which probably depends on cpu a lot for any updates.. and when transferring information... high cpu.. = ouff.. must update.. keep up with gfx.. wait for me.. ouff.. [05:37] greezmunkey, auto lo and auto eth1 NO eth0 [05:37] IdeAlEss, /home/thiebaude/Downloads/Screenshot.png [05:38] IdeAlEss, im trying a screenshot [05:38] skinnypup, is eth0 wired, or wireless on your machine? [05:38] greezmunkey, eth0 is wired and using it now [05:38] how do i post a screenshot? [05:38] greezmunkey, eth0 auto does show in NM applet and turns on and off fine from NM applet [05:39] maybe I shouldn't bother.. and instead upgrade to 9.10 which rocks on my other boxes :P [05:39] !imagebin | thiebaude [05:39] thiebaude: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [05:39] bazhang, thanks [05:39] Mist_: I am d/l suse 11.2 as we speak [05:39] skinnypup, you could edit that file, are you static on the eth0 interface? [05:40] for fucksake [05:40] smwn: Please mind your language. Thanks [05:40] Blue1: for some reason im not that fond of suse =/ [05:40] greezmunkey, not at the moment but i am fine static here too . Do you suggest adding the eth1 info there ? [05:40] Mist_: I cut my teeth on suse [05:41] he he [05:41] http://alpha2delta.blogspot.com/ [05:41] skinnypup, dhcp is ok, add this line to the interfaces file: iface eth0 inet dhcp [05:41] warinthepocket, dont paste here [05:41] greezmunkey, maybe why i am confused is that eth1 IS in interfaces [05:41] IdeAlEss, http://imagebin.org/71506 [05:41] #ubuntu-au [05:42] Blue1: as long it isn't windows and that way helping the evildoers building zombie spam/DDOS botnets I am happy :) [05:42] skinnypup, then "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" you will lose your connection, bet you should then see eth0 [05:42] m$haft is evil! [05:42] bet / but [05:42] thiebaude, that is where I am. I no option but 60Hz and the resolutions I mentioned. [05:42] Mist_: except for evil empire grocery (krogers) [05:43] so has anyone ever run into the issue- Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":1.0". ? [05:43] IdeAlEss, that is wird, im not sure what else to think of [05:43] greezmunkey, I'll reset that net daemon and see , thanks for your time man ! [05:43] I am convinced that if everyone stopped using windows, the power consumption gone from only from the extra cpu running the antiviruses would safe global environment :) [05:43] err save [05:43] Mist_: indeed [05:43] thiebaude, me either, that is why I came here. :-) [05:44] skinnypup, excellent! [05:44] Does anyone know of a working guide on how to make a usb flash drive bootable with a windows 7 iso image? [05:44] skinnypup, easy huh... [05:44] Vtec: ask in ##windows [05:44] no one is answering me there ): i find that linux users are smarter :O [05:45] Vtec: how true.. however this is an ubuntu tech support channel.. [05:45] Vtec: partition editor maybe :) [05:45] IdeAlEss, maybe someone else might have an idea [05:45] Vtec: might ask in #linux.. there are some pretty smart windows people there too. and it's not strictly an ubuntu tech channel [05:46] what is the command line version of gparted, fdisk? [05:46] thiebaude, looks like the issue may be my monitor. I found a post recommending displayconfig-gtk to configure the monitor but it isn't in the distro anymore. [05:46] Blue1: yep [05:46] Blue1: parted i would think [05:46] IdeAlEss: xrandr [05:46] Billiard: i haven't used that in years - don't know if I could remember... [05:47] IdeAlEss, ahh, ok, because i know our cards are real good with linux in general [05:47] Mist_, not to be too political, the environment is way better off today than it was in the late 60's, early 70's the diff is that most of the "sky is falling" believers weren't alive back then! [05:47] greezmunkey, restarting the networking daemon gives me [05:47] SIOCSIFADDR: No such device [05:47] eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [05:47] IdeAlEss, you say the native resolution is 1440 x 900? [05:48] same eth1 error when trying sudo ifconfig eth up/down [05:48] d9500, well, it is a crt so there really isn't a native. It can do a max of 1,920 x 1,440 at 73Hz [05:49] IdeAlEss: 1280x1024 should be good then.. [05:49] skinnypup, run the lshw command again, see if it is still disabled... [05:50] greezmunkey, *-network:0 DISABLED [05:50] scunizi, yeah, it should be. I don't have the option for it. [05:51] IdeAlEss, I'm using an anlog flat screen here, my system detects it as a crt, so i may be able to provide a sample xorg.conf that you can modify. what does your existing xorg.conf have in the screen section? [05:51] IdeAlEss, pastebin the xorg.conf if you don't mind [05:51] i had to modify my xorg.conf also [05:51] skinnypup, cat /var/log/dmesg and ollk for anything related to your ethernet interface [05:51] ollk = look [05:51] lol , k [05:52] IdeAlEss: type xrandr in a termainal and see if the resolution is displayed as an option.. if not then you'll have to add it .. man xrandr === fusion is now known as felidfusion [05:53] skinnypup, I've used computrs for many years, but never learned to type! [05:53] no one ever knows how to type greezmunkey. [05:53] d9500, http://pastebin.com/d3b9946b4 [05:54] heh [05:54] scunizi, xrandr gives the same options as in nvidia-settings [05:54] md5sum is a low command [05:54] new install, 9.10. I can't seem to see some of my windows machine on the windows network. Could someone walk me through what I'm doing wrong [05:56] I'm confused, people ask questions, then don't stay long enough to get an answer [05:56] thats because they are boobies [05:56] noobies* [05:57] so close [05:57] Termana: how Freudian. [05:57] boobies tend to hang around permanently (if you happen to have them)... [05:57] greezmunkey, [ 0.054484] pnp 00:08: io resource (0x10-0x1f) overlaps 0000:00:1d.2 BAR 4 (0x0-0x1f), disabling [05:57] [05:57] greezmunkey [ 0.058383] system 00:00: iomem range 0x0-0x9ffff could not be reserved [05:57] lol TheKro [05:57] hang around? no pun intended... [05:57] IdeAlEss: I'll look for a page describing how to get xrandr to add what you want [05:58] ageeb, oh, you intended it, I know you dod :) [05:58] dood=did, typing ;/ [05:58] felidfusion: apparently no-one has an attention span larger than a gnat's [05:58] * mneptok nudges everyone off the track that leads to Banville [05:58] lol [05:58] are raid-5 made in mdadm expanable ? [05:58] without breaking them. [05:58] greezmunkey, a sample of all i could see that looks wrong . This is on a toshiba m200 tablet , can pxe slax onto it and use the wireless , or pxe on a new 9.10 and the wireless works as should be expected for a while , but a few reboots later byby eth1 [05:59] IdeAlEss: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [05:59] skinnypup, you got me, pxe? [05:59] greezmunkey, booting the os over the network [05:59] Can someone help me with audio, knetworkmanager or VI ? [06:00] I'm bored -.- [06:00] ah [06:00] scunizi, thanks I will play with this some. [06:00] * Blue1 is in line behind felidfusion [06:00] IdeAlEss: good luck [06:00] IdeAlEss, http://pastebin.com/d47135273 [06:00] greezmunkey, slax does pxe server on a live iso , works gr8. pxe is a boot option in the bios often [06:01] ok, weird question: What is the latest build of the kernel for Karmic? 2.6.31-14 or -15? [06:01] IdeAlEss, that's just a rough outline, but that's something that may work as a starting point [06:01] (my box says the latter, ubuntu.com says the former) [06:01] VanessaE: I am running -14 [06:01] skinnypup, interesting...I'll admit that you have me on this one. [06:01] greezmunkey, toshi tablets have no cd drive , and don't do usb boot . pxe fits the bill there. Point pxe @ the ubuntu netboot path and bam . [06:01] my box is running -15 --- how?? [06:02] I'm confused as to where this build came from [06:02] -14 for me. [06:02] VanessaE: dunno -- [06:02] greezmunkey, guess i'll have to do a bug report on this one. Works fine then just doesn't. idk [06:02] d9500, thanks. It still seems like there should be a way to tell Ubuntu which monitor I am using and do this automatically. [06:02] hello geeks!! [06:02] anyone connecting to a win98 box over Samba? [06:02] skinnypup, sorry I couldn't help further [06:03] zilla1: the saints preserve us! [06:03] Question , im not sure if this is releated to this chat room im running ubuntu and i tought of giveing FreeBSD unix a try i have it installed fine it asks me to log in and all i see is command bars no OS ? or GUI interface any help thankx :D [06:03] zilla1: there's still a running win98 box out there? .. stick ubuntu on it :) [06:03] zilla1, win98 - are you serious? [06:03] Hi, anyone remember the name of those two iso's you can boot and do tests on computer and stuff? I basically want to see the cpu temps on a comp that is overheating. I knew earlier but don't have name now. One was like grjd or soemting the other was a long one like systemtestcd or something [06:03] IdeAlEss, i've heard that only propietary drivers sually require an advanced xorg.conf, unless you're working on a dual monitor setup, etc. i'm using an open driver and my xorg.conf has about four lines. [06:03] wow.. win98? [06:03] zilla1: i think I have a copy of win2k if you can't afford that... [06:03] Blue, i don't know what that means, but let me respond with this: can I see your smb.conf? [06:03] greezmunkey, No prob . Thanks for the help there. I wasn't thinking i would find anything in dmesg and that may help in a bugreport. [06:03] greezmunkey, thx! [06:04] zilla1: I don't have samba configured - but tell us what's going on maybe we can help... [06:04] the box has a pentium II, and a half a 512 megs [06:04] IdeAlEss, x.org server supposedly did away with xorg.conf i recent releases....default ubuntu doesn't even have one anymore [06:04] Question , im not sure if this is releated to this chat room im running ubuntu and i tought of giveing FreeBSD unix a try i have it installed fine it asks me to log in and all i see is command bars no OS ? or GUI interface any help thankx :D [06:04] in* [06:04] d9500, nope, just a single crt. Just an old crt I guess. [06:04] * VanessaE scratches her head [06:04] I can see and talk with my XP machines from both directions [06:04] zilla1: basic networking 101 - can you ping each box from the other? [06:04] trinity - don't repeat questions. and this is not a freebsd channel [06:05] try #freebsd [06:05] trinity: command bars? you mean like a terminal .. like in the old DOS days? [06:05] hello...can I run linux on a palm TX...i tried google...closest one I could find is OpenMoko but has no wifi support..anyone know of any others [06:05] yeah, command prompt is what they mean I believe [06:05] termana: it's a DOS :( [06:05] Windows 95, 98 thunking, hehe [06:05] IdeAlEss-> try xpdyinfo, how X uses it or hooks into it, i dont know [06:05] Oh, is it not loading? [06:05] well, that still has nothing to do with ubuntu [06:05] scunizi : it's a DOS type thing [06:06] n8tuser, I ran that and got a ton of info, just not sure what to do with it. :) [06:06] trinity: sound like there isn't a gui installed.. check the channel someone else mentioned earlier.. [06:06] roger__-> which palm you have? treo? [06:06] palm TX [06:06] how do I find out what conditions existed that made this particular kernel install on my box but not the others mentioned here? [06:06] (I ask because my husband's box is also stuck at -14) [06:06] IdeAlEss-> just like what i said.. i dont know the hooks to X for that xdpyinfo data.. [06:06] trinity, this is not an ubuntu problem, it isn't a dos prompt either. go into #freebsd [06:06] VanessaE: you might have the repos on your box updating faster then the other boxes [06:07] termana : thankx [06:07] Hello I have problems with bluetooth: the icon appears in gray and doesn't let me do nothing. My acer aspire 4520 bluetooth button does anything: Instead of turning bluetooth on, the volume bar appears, wtf? need help pls [06:07] roger__-> whats the microprocessor on that palm Tx? im curious. i have an old palm but have not had a chance to really port linux into it.. seen the tutorials though [06:08] scunizi, both machines have stock sources.list's ... is a few days' lag between them normal in this case? [06:09] d9500, set up a mod line and just restarted x. Worked like a charm. I guess I just wasn't expecting to have to go that deep in Ubuntu. After all, I jumped ship on Gentoo because I just didn't have the time anymore. [06:09] VanessaE: you could always go to the box with the older kernel and "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and see what happens. [06:10] scunizi, we've been staying on top of that. [06:10] blue, no i cannot. this is silly. i'll be back when I solve trivial networking issues [06:10] no big deal, it's just a curiosity. If I can't explain something about my machine, I get a little antsy. [06:11] VanessaE I hear you. I did a Bachelor and Masters of computer science for the same reason [06:11] VanessaE: stock repos are setup at the time of install.. sometimes I think they query the net for the fastest at that time.. they may still be different.. [06:11] ppdean, mode line worked? good. another thing you can try, if you're not into wine gaming and compiz, is kms, which, at least for me, sets the resolution automatically for both the gui and the VTs. you'll have to use a free driver though, which means no 3d, though in all fairness, i get decent kwin effects just with xrender and no opengl. [06:11] flac images with a cue file. anyone know how to extract them? [06:12] d9500, yes, not sure why this didn't save my nick. Oh well. [06:12] pddean* [06:12] and... if there's a channel more suited to that question, please point me in that direction :) [06:12] Im having a problem with a previously working wireless device. The device no longer shows up in lspci (even when booting a liveCD that I know previously detected the device) It just quit all of a sudden. [06:13] pddean, and yes, as for not having to configure stuff...look o the birhgt side. in gentoo, you'd have spent three hours compiling a new version of xorg-config just to generate a new xorg.conf file :) [06:13] d9500, yeah, but I am a big compiz fan. :-) I don't mind playing under the hood. (been using Gentoo for almost 8 years) Just didn't know I had to. [06:13] jauntyjoe, the cue file is probably just a cut list. [06:13] Xorg-configure* [06:13] load the file into Audacity or similar and chop it apart [06:14] VanessaE, you mean i should do it manually? [06:14] d9500, lol, okay it isn't that bad! I quite enjoyed some of the control. Just with 3 kids 3 and under I don't have the time anymore. [06:14] jauntyjoe, that's how I do it when I run across such files. [06:14] that defeats the point of having a cue file in the first place [06:14] jauntyjoe, maybe something like bchunker might work? [06:15] er, bchunk. [06:15] bchunk, thx VanessaE, will investigate [06:15] greezmunkey: check these out [06:15] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/ [06:15] http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/11/how-to-configure-pxe-network-booting-on-ubuntu-for-network-based-installations/ [06:16] pddean, step 1: wait till kids get older. step 2, forbid them under any circcumstances from doing anything related to computers or, on pain of expulsion from the house, any software compiling. step 3,wait for them to learn it own their own just to tick you off and to rebel. step 4, leave computer unattended. voila. instant compile-bots! [06:16] wheelie: well you've got one up on me for education, but at least I cut my teeth on a C64. :-) [06:16] VanessaE as did I :-) [06:16] one kinda gets used to things having simple explanations. [06:16] d9500, lol, yeah Looks like I will be looking for a different 4 step process. :-) [06:16] what's the recipe for upgrading from 9.04 no-gui to 9.10 gui, over ssh? [06:16] skinnypup, doing so now thanks! Maybe I can use this... [06:17] VanessaE actually I lie. It was a Vic-20 === kb is now known as Guest93721 [06:17] How do I install lm-sensors on Ubuntu Server 9.10? I found several guides, how do choose between the guides? [06:17] VanessaE: trs-80 & "color computer" [06:17] VanessaE, alas: "The non-Unix version of BinChunker has been obsoleted by the CD-R/W burning software FireBurner" [06:17] wheelie: I don't count the Timex-Sinclair 1000 as my starting point normally, but as long as we're competing ;) [06:17] !sound [06:17] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [06:17] help i have no audio after i upgrade to 9.10 [06:18] greezmunkey, its quite handy. can also pxe virtualmachines if their net adapter is set to host instead of nat [06:18] jauntyjoe, that's fine - we're interested in the unix variant, which tends to also include Linux. [06:18] PDP11/40 [06:18] * d9500 says "in before scunizi or VanessaE tries the ultimate one-upmanship and says something about punch cards and vacuum tubes" [06:18] Thanks all, I have to head out. Morning comes in a few hours. [06:18] * DanaG has hacked up his apt preferences file to get kernel and pulseaudio from Lucid repos, but everything else from Karmic. [06:19] my husband can claim having started with a System/36. :-) [06:19] s/his/an/ [06:19] VanessaE I was too young for the Sinclair. Anyway, I came to the education thing later in life. When I got the need to know. And before anyone mentions punch cards [06:19] oops, too late === sM is now known as Guest57997 [06:19] d9500: the correct term is "Hollerith card." >;P [06:19] VanessaE: "the CD-R/W burning software FireBurner, which can be found at www.fireburner.com" [06:19] dead-end for me. and you? [06:19] greezmunkey, the easiest example is a slax.iso and choose pxe server in the boot menu. Turn off other dhcp server on lan or router temporarily and pxe clients and instantly boot as "thin clients" not needing hdds etc [06:19] skinnypup, I read a bit, but it looks like I can install to another machine using this method... [06:20] jauntyjoe, are you using Windows then? the author is talking about the *non* unix build, i.e. windows [06:20] <_ged> hi, im not sure if this is the right channel to ask this question but i wil just try to ask it here, when im executing a "configure" command, i RAN OUT to an error which says "WARNING: 'Makefile.global.in' seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting" .. can you help me on this one? Thanks [06:20] Oh, another thing you can do: if you have dd-wrt or tomato firmware on your router, you can have it hand your tftp server's address to clients., you can set [06:20] greezmunkey, yeah real machines and virtual too [06:20] oops, I screwed up my text insertions there. [06:20] d9500: studied fortran in college for 1 semester.. german prof writing on a blackboard with one hand and erasing with the other.. hand writing code that was shuttled away to some unknown dundgen to be keypunched.. results in a week. [06:20] in any case, i don't want to burn a flac image to a cd - i want to extract the individual tracks from the flac image - to single flac files [06:20] skinnypup, cool, thanks! [06:21] greezmunkey, sho nuff! [06:21] is there anything like Quanta+ for Ubuntu (Gnome)? [06:21] it's for webdevelopment (php/html/css) [06:21] jauntyjoe, try it anyway - bchunk is *not* a burner program. It's a splitter program. [06:21] yeah, non-unix etc speak [06:21] freaky[t]: yes. Quanta+ ;) [06:21] mneptok, ? but that's for KDE isn't it? [06:22] scunizi: i'm still waiting for one of you to make a wise crack about "compiling on an abacus" or something to that effect. [06:22] VanessaE, i would try it if the url would load - but i doan't [06:22] freaky[t]: sudo apt-get install quanta [06:22] can someone point me in the direction of how I would add an "uppermem" statement in grub 2? [06:22] jauntyjoe, it's in the repository [06:22] mneptok, i know but that's for KDE ... [06:22] (apt-get, etc) [06:22] d9500, I suppose it's possible, but your fingers sure would get tired... [06:22] freaky[t]: trust me? [06:22] d9500: :) .. an abacus is still one of the fasted calculators around.. I also like my sliderule :) [06:23] mneptok, i know that it works with gnome but im looking for a real gnome alternative [06:23] d9500: I've programmed on paper before. Does that count? ;) [06:23] * VanessaE fondly remembers writing up pages and pages of code during breaks at school. [06:23] i programed paper [06:23] freaky[t]: try Bluefish [06:23] Now, writing C code on paper, in tests, is a pain. [06:23] * scunizi nightmare.. writing fortran code in a spiral notebook [06:23] ManateeMatt: the correct term is "Hollerith card." >;P [06:24] (x2) [06:24] mneptok, ok thanks [06:24] And all those durned curly braces. =þ [06:24] VanessaE, yes, since this is an ubuntu channel. if it was a gentoo channel, we'd have to deduct style points for not building your own optimized paper fresh from wood pulp. [06:24] Hi guys,,, How can i foind out the CISCO Router is been installed in my Local LAN,,, and some one observing my networking connectivity [06:24] find* [06:24] bwahahaha [06:24] mneptok, it says that's only an html editor? i need php and CSS too :( [06:24] greezmunkey, http://www.vmware.com/support/gsx3/doc/running_pxe_gsx.html [06:24] blue1 : yes, they can ping each other :) [06:24] As i am using Ubuntu-9.04 [06:24] d9500: you learn a lot more about the whole paper system if you start with a seed and some dirt. [06:25] * greezmunkey observes a moment of silence for Herman Hollerith [06:25] Does anyone know the functional equivilent of adding uppermem in /boot/grub/menu.lst, in the new grub2?. [06:25] yeah, VanessaE - bchunk only does .bin/.cue type files - what i've got is a .flac cd image [06:25] mneptok, I don't hear of too many ppl that know of herman hollerith [06:25] zilla1: that's a good start -- okay -- what about hosts -- have you put the name of the other box in your hosts file and assigned it the ip? [06:25] skinnypup: i'm an antique. [06:25] I imagine I need to edit up /etc/grub.d/10_linux but the specifics escape me. [06:26] i.e. already compressed (with flac) and has a cue file to boot - to enable decompression [06:26] How to find out the an CISCO router in my local LAN [06:26] mneptok, hear ya. Hollerith was the founder of ibm and the first person to census the U.S. [06:26] jauntyjoe, Oh @$#&.. You're right, my fault. [06:26] ok [06:26] dumb question. [06:26] mneptok, iirc ;o) [06:26] skinnypup: Watson founded IBM. [06:27] jauntyjoe: can you mount the actual image file? [06:27] is there a command to display free/used space in afolder. [06:27] mneptok, Ok then Hollerith worked with ibm then right ? [06:27] skinnypup: yep [06:27] madhu, look up the standard MAC prefix for cisco equipment, then nmap for it [06:27] jauntyjoe, Audacity seems to have some kind of .CUE support..maybe it'll still work? [06:27] Manatee: du -s foldern_name to see space used on a folder [06:27] prefix(s) [06:27] Hello I have problems with bluetooth: the icon appears in gray and doesn't let me do nothing. My acer aspire 4520 bluetooth button does anything: Instead of turning bluetooth on, the volume bar appears, wtf? need help pls [06:27] ManateeMatt: df gives you a summary of devices and how much space they have total, used, and free [06:27] ManateeMatt: you'll want -h in the args, too [06:28] mneptok, but remember, for the best dirt, you have build from compost and pass --fertilizer to it for optimum nitrogen content :) I'm going to shut now before i get an OT warning. [06:28] i'm considering switching to ubuntu, but i have a program that i use for our homeschool recordkeeping and they do not currently support linus os - wine & codeweaver do not support the program either - what are my options? [06:28] madhu, load wireshark, that may do it as well [06:28] blue1 - this is on a local home network. I thought that if my router handled the DNS for the LAN, i didn't have to do that [06:28] mneptok, no can't mount a flac image file - it's quite different to the usual iso/bin and the rest [06:28] ManateeMatt, use -h with df to get a "human" readout === richard is now known as Guest81940 [06:28] ManateeMatt: you want du, not df [06:28] sorry - hi, my name is mandi LOL [06:28] zilla1: linux and windows need to know the ip address of each other... [06:28] mandi628: have you tried running the app in codeweavers crossover office? [06:28] blue1, i'm actually much closer than I thought. I can see the shares I've got set up on 98 machine from ubuntu [06:28] maybe i've found something, a shell script [06:28] ManateeMatt: du -h /path/to/folder [06:28] mneptok, well to be fair, this is a gentoo-like environment we're talking about. Shouldn't one ground rocks and debris into dirt first, manufacture water from hydrogen and oxygen, and then add the seed? :-) [06:28] mandi628: I've seen a great number of apps not listed run fine. [06:28] zilla1: that a big step forward [06:29] oops, sorry mneptok I didnt see you already suggested that [06:29] and 98 machine can see the linux machine (ya i know :D) [06:29] they both give what i want [06:29] its asking for a password [06:29] zilla1: did you set the smbpassword? [06:29] anyone know about networking? [06:29] its *not* my smbpass [06:29] mandi628: since ubuntu runs as a live cd, you could test it, including installing crossover office, without overwriting windows. [06:29] VanessaE: i'm still working on getting my yellow sun built from dense matter. [06:29] demongt, I know you are on one right now... [06:29] haha [06:29] demongt: I'm sure more than a couple of us do. [06:29] maybe there's a conflict between win98 encrypted passwords, and samba's unencrypted passwords [06:30] *begins to investigate* [06:30] (the sad part is that I've used Gentoo enough to know how silly this all can get :-) )( [06:30] Absenth: i haven't switched yet, from what i understand, part of the problem is that the program heavily relies on .NET framework - does this matter? [06:30] i had ubuntu running and i had it networking to my windows machine, i had a problum with ubuntu and had to reinstall, now it cant get the file share to work [06:30] mandi628: it does. that doesn't mean it automatically won't run in crossover though. [06:30] blue1 - after this i've got a win 3.11 box i'm going to ask you about [06:30] oh, well i haven't quite figured out how to connect to the internet using the liveCD yet [06:31] both the du and df gave me what i wanted to see, last dumb question of the night possibly, is there a move command that will give you a nice progress bar or anything..... mv -v just gives me the file, not how far it is. [06:31] mandi628: wireless I assume? [06:31] absenth: yes [06:31] mandi628: any chance you can plug in an ethernet cable for testing? :) [06:32] Absenth: not on this computer, but my "server" is connected directly to the modem, so i could use that for testing [06:32] mandi628 as far as that windows software , you can install virtualbox and run a windows machine inside of linux. [06:32] when i first installed ubuntu i dont remember doing anything other then setting my folders on the windows machine to share [06:32] mandi628, search youtube for virtualbox and vmware [06:32] does anyone here have a netbook, with the Intel GMA500 (Poulsbo) graphics card, on Karmic? [06:32] Absenth: that one is going to be my 100% linux machine, my others might have to be dual-booted [06:32] i was able to go to "network" and the folders/files were there [06:32] skinnypup: thx - will do [06:32] conversion from ogg vorbis to mp3 using lame in the gtkpod package supplied by the karmic repositories is encountering problems... something wrong with filenames. found a patch, but it's a little vague as to what's wrong. anyone know what a good batch transcoding package in the repositories is that i could use before transferring tracks with gtkpod? [06:33] mandi628: wouldn't hurt to do testing on something you could afford to run linux on :) [06:33] mandi628: I dual booted for a couple of years before finally ditching windows all together. :) [06:33] started gaming on consoles :) [06:33] How you started gaming on consoles ? [06:33] Absenth: i've talked to several converts, also homeschoolers, and the only reason they still use windows is because of this program i speak of [06:34] mandi628, a virtual machine looks like a full installation of another operating system in its own window and can be made fullscreen [06:34] Absenth: amen to that. after i blew $580 on an ati radeon x1800xt on preorder in 2005, i realized that PC gaming was folly [06:34] it is? My husband would disagree [06:34] not worth the investment IMO [06:34] mandi628, hear ya there always seems to be one or two progs keeping windows alive [06:35] mgmuscari: my latest desktop was ~$2500.... for dual Xeon E5506s and 12gb of ddr3 :) [06:35] when i go to network, it shows the windows machine. but when i try going to it. i get a box reading "unable to mount location, failed to retrieve share list from server" [06:35] OT anyway [06:35] $600.00 for a video card, whoa... [06:35] lm-sensros command sensors-detect didn't find that much sensors. No processor sensor what I could remember. And it doesn't work to run the sudo sensors command either. I get no info though I have chosen to insert lines automatically in /etc/whatever-it-was-called at the end of the sensors-detect command. [06:35] now granted, he never sunk more than $150 into a video card. :) [06:35] mgmuscari: GTX260, for cuda :) [06:35] Absenth: when i do a ful install on linux on my old desktop machine (the 100% linux machine), do i need to move the data to CDs, or just back them up in case something happens? how much of the data gets wiped in an os install? [06:35] I doubt I'll upgrade again for 5 years. [06:35] Absenth: these days i just focus on having a reliable workstation for doing work on... and none of that really includes graphics-intensive applications [06:35] Valentina, try sudo sensors-detect [06:35] $$$ 600 now i know why i like to stay with hardware thats been on market a year or so [06:35] mandi628: all of it. I'd back up to storage you trust. whether it's a USB drive, or whatever. === clintcronin is now known as nyne [06:36] yeah, no kidding! [06:36] skinnypup, i agree with that, but at the same time, i can't say anything bad about the company that makes this program - they are phenomenal [06:36] VanessaE: Actually I did, I think. [06:36] mgmuscari: I went heavily multi-core for FreeBSD jails. running ~ 25 Virtual machines on my desktop for work. [06:36] skinnypup, I'm too cheap to go for high end... I bought this GF6800 new about 3 1/2 years ago. [06:36] Video games...that's what quarters are for :] [06:36] Absenth: sounds like fun [06:37] VanessaE: my file server has a 6800..... [06:37] mandi628, fully understand . I think you would like openbox. Its in the repositories or " sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose " [06:37] in the openldap-server ubuntu server guide there are a few lines that are confusing me. Item 4 says to edit the following file /tmp/ldif_output/cn=config/cn=schema/cn={8}misc.ldif and change a couple of lines but they don't say what to change them to.. could someone give me a hand. im trying to set up openldap and have been stuck for a while [06:37] left over from before my gaming on console revolution. [06:37] so how much testing should i do before i do the full install? or should i just bite the bullet and go for it since the computer is so slow under windows that i can hardly use it right now? [06:37] my thinkpad outperforms my opteron desktop with its x1800xt, now [06:37] !offtopic [06:37] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:37] Absenth, like I said, not exactly high end, but if it can handle OpenArena, Extreme Tuxracer, Torcs, etc., I'm happy. [06:37] yes, anyway, we digress... [06:38] VanessaE: I get this running sudo sensors: Try loading the driver. I did as told at the end of the guide, running /etc/init.d/module-init-tools but then I get this: /etc/init.d/module-init-tools What doesn that mean? [06:38] COMMAND [06:38] mandi628, if there are some files there you want to salvage this is the time to get them. [06:38] * VanessaE shuts up now before the offtopic kick... [06:38] hey, could someone help me with my usb device? [06:38] !ask [06:38] 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. :-) [06:38] mandi628: if the machine isn't important. install linux and run with it :) test everything you think you might do with a main computer. of course be sure to back up your data first. [06:38] At the end when running it, like /ect/init.d/module-init-tools COMMAND [06:39] Valentina, Am I correct in assuming that sensors-detect didn't give you a list of modules to use in the future? [06:39] I'm still ISO someone who knows a thing or six about Grub2 as it's installed in Karmic [06:39] Absenth, skinnypup, thanks for the input - i'll let you know how it turns out! [06:39] mandi628, 99.99 % of installs go fine but if its slow there may be a step or two in the setup that seem like it is never going to get through. Just sit it down and let it go an hour or more b4 you decide it isn't installing right [06:39] does anyone else file share with a windows machine? [06:39] VanessaE: I gave me some modules, but just a few ones. I also chose to automatically add the modules in some kind of file. [06:39] demongt: via nfs. which isn't likely to help you :( [06:39] demongt: i have a samba server that i connect to with both windows and linux... is that what you mean? [06:40] VanessaE: It gave med... [06:40] Hi guys! I need help!!! I installed Record Your Desktop for Ubuntu, now my PC is lags. [06:40] Valentina, Ok, did you reboot or at least modprobe each of those modules? [06:40] Hi. i have 4 GB of RAM and running Karmic 64-bit LiveCD, but I'm only seeing 2.9 GB in system monitor. is this normal or is something wrong? [06:40] im not sure? [06:40] lianimator_: is your video card using shared memory? [06:40] I ask because on my mainboard, I not only have to reboot after setting up those modules, I also have to blacklist one of the existing kernel modules (k8temp) [06:41] VanessaE: No, I followed the guid, it only told med to run /etc/init.d/module-init-tools then I got this: /etc/init.d/module-init-tools [06:41] im new to linux. both of my machines are hooked to a router. i just want to be able to stream my music from the windows machine [06:41] lianimator_: oh, and livecd's create ramdisks... might be reserved.... [06:41] otherwise I get next to nothing from sensors, and what I do get is inaccurate. [06:41] VanessaE: *the guide [06:41] Valentina, got a URL to that guide? [06:41] demongt: if you set your windows machine up to share out folders via samba, you can mount those shared folders using smbfs in linux [06:42] mgmuscari: my video card uses shared memory, maybe that's why?? but not up to 1 GB, only 512 MB total [06:42] mgmuscari: not cifs? [06:42] VanessaE: I did this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [06:42] VanessaE: It's old, but it's Ubuntu Documentation. [06:42] Absenth: pretty sure the package he wants then is smbfs [06:42] and smbclient maybe [06:42] mgmuscari: fair enough :) [06:42] i set the windows machine up for sharing, but i am unsure what to do on the linux machine since i didnt have to do anything the first time [06:42] Ubunu Remix 9.10 got 3 bugs for Zg5 Acer Aspire One, thought I share it. [06:42] at least that's what i'm using... [06:43] cifs under the hood i think [06:43] Mouseaway: which graphics chip in your AA1 [06:43] ? [06:43] Valentina, Ok, at this point I'm at a bit of a loss. Still try a reboot. It's evil, but it sometimes helps. [06:43] I am testing a rails app that needs to send email but i keep getting "hostname was not match with the server certificate" [06:43] Absenth: The Graphic Card bug has been fixed for AA1 in the latest updates. [06:44] Mouseaway: Which graphics card.... [06:44] demongt: if you install packages smbfs and smbclient, you should be able to mount a share from your windows machine like so: sudo smbmount //x.x.x.x/share /mnt/share -o username=xxxxx,password=yyyyy [06:44] Absenth: Nvidia and XFX [06:44] Mouseaway: since AA1's run the gambit from 945, 950,m nvidea, GMA500 etc. [06:44] k [06:44] hi all [06:44] <--- is on an AA1 751h with the completely borked GMA500 [06:44] AMD based laptop still has glitches... [06:45] mgmuscari: is there a way to know if those packages are installed already? [06:45] !synaptic [06:45] synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [06:45] Absenth: Whats your issue ? [06:45] Mouseaway: at this point, I just need to figure out how grub2 works. [06:46] grub2 is evil. [06:46] Hi there :) why uname -m shows i686 but $HOSTTYPE is i486? what is the difference of this two (or what is the relation?) [06:46] VanessaE: Ok, I'll. [06:46] but then again, I dragged my heals when the world went from lilo to grub. :-) [06:46] Mouseaway: beyond that. it's based on the fact there aren't any Open source drivers for t graphics card, and the binary blob is a mess at best, and a catastra$#@K under most other circumstances. [06:46] er, heels [06:47] Hello I have problems with bluetooth: the icon appears in gray and doesn't let me do nothing. My acer aspire 4520 bluetooth button does anything: Instead of turning bluetooth on, the volume bar appears, wtf? need help pls [06:47] Absenth: Aye, that's the issue, install Distro or Fedora. [06:47] hi all. guys how can i mount .cue/.bin files ? [06:47] Ubuntu Remix still ot glitches for graphic cards [06:47] I'm in base Karmic. have the driver "working" via backports. just need to figure out how to shoehorn a uppermem statement into grub2 [06:48] mgmuscari: smbclient has a green box, but i do not see a smbfs? [06:49] GMA500 hmn [06:49] UBUNTU!!! woot! [06:49] luis_, are you dualbooting windows? [06:49] Mouseaway: aka poulsbo [06:49] demongt: it should be in the package repositories [06:49] no jadi_ [06:49] Mouseaway: or psb driver. [06:49] Hi I know this is going to sound like a stuipd question but i just installed gDesklets on my computer.. and now I dont know where it is.. I installed it and everything [06:49] i found a smbnetfs? [06:49] Even Dell got the same problem with GMA500 [06:50] luis_, Oh... I wanted to give this hint: boot in windows, turn bluetooth on and shutdown the pc. then boot in lin and see if this helpt [06:50] Absenth: Was it working with Linpus Lite ? [06:50] Hi there :) why uname -m shows i686 but $HOSTTYPE is i486? what is the difference of this two (or what is the relation?) [06:51] Mouseaway: couldn't tell you. I've not had linpux lite installed. [06:51] Oh ok [06:51] mgmuscari: the smbnetfs was under networkings(universe)? is this what im looking for? [06:51] can someone tell me where i can find gDesklets on my computer after i installed it [06:51] Mouseaway: I've got it working in Karmic, had it working in Jaunty, and Fedora 11 :) [06:51] I had Linpus Lite worked fine then Ubuntu messed up everything [06:51] Mouseaway: my only real problem is grub2 :) [06:51] well and the fact I'm almost completely stupid. [06:52] hai. [06:52] My internal mic got screwd up with Ubuntu [06:52] demongt: i'm not using smbnetfs [06:52] I just lost all decoratons in KDE [06:52] Switched it to Linpus Lite lol didnt work anymore... [06:52] how can I get them back? [06:53] brianwillis1984, it should be at /usr/bin/gdesklets === hans is now known as Guest73665 [06:53] brianwillis1984, but you should be able to just run gdesklets on the command line [06:54] skype for xubuntu, not under synaptic? direct download ad install from skype? [06:54] * VanessaE grumbles at ksensors [06:54] VanessaE: Ok, now we are talking. The reboot seem to have done some good. [06:54] Valentina, good deal. what do you get now? [06:55] Guest73665, or you can add NonFree repository [06:55] VanessaE: Here is the output of the sensors command: http://paste.ubuntu.com/317558/ [06:55] anybody knows why uname -m shows i686 but $HOSTTYPE is i486? what is the difference of this two (or what is the relation?) [06:55] * Mouseaway streches [06:56] Valentina, looks fine to me, the "alarm" tags just mean the values are out of range of what lm_sensors expects [06:56] VanessaE: Ok, there are many alarms. What to do about them? [06:56] jadi, what would apt line be? [06:56] ignore 'em. :) [06:57] hi [06:57] hi [06:57] really, you could tweak /etc/sensors3.conf to turn the limits up/down as needed, but they're harmless === william is now known as Guest92488 [06:57] How do i view fdisk output in gigs? [06:58] VanessaE: What's temp1 and temp2, system temperature resp processors temperature or what? [06:58] Valentina, if I had to guess, I'd say temp1 is your chipset and temp2 is the CPU average. [06:58] VanessaE: Can I trust the lm-sensors values or are lm-sensors playing me a joke? === _ged_ is now known as _ged [06:59] Guest73665, i think in ubuntu it should be [06:59] Valentina: well, to be fair about trusting or not - I had to tweak the settings on my box because my mainboard's ranges don't correspond with those in the default config...and I had to test them the hard way. [06:59] Guest73665, deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic multiverse [06:59] VanessaE: I'm going to have my server going and I don't want to burn down my house, therefore I need to know if the temp is really what lm-sensors say. [06:59] Valentina, well, the question first of all is how much load is on the box right now? [06:59] jadi_ : i ran it from command line but dont see anything [06:59] is the CPU busy chewing on something, or is it idle? [07:00] VanessaE: Will, I think this is the load that it will have, more or less. [07:00] Valentina, Right, but how much would that be? 100% CPU load, 50%? [07:00] brianwillis1984, any errors? I think there should be an icon in the tray for that after you run it [07:00] I ask because it lets me correlate CPU activity to temperature [07:00] VanessaE: It has been going for like an hour but I willl have it going for many hours every day. [07:00] VanessaE: How would I know? [07:00] top [07:01] VanessaE: Ah [07:01] or any of the usual collection of system monitors [07:01] see how much CPU is "Idle" [07:01] So i need help with a browser sound issue. multiple plugins have no sound [07:01] jadi_ : no error's i see it up in the top right of the "task bar" thing [07:01] VanessaE: Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni,100.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st [07:01] 32 or 64 bit skype for ubuntu on laptop celeron? [07:02] anything i should go about doing to start trouble shooting this? [07:02] ok, 100% idle, no load to speak of. [07:02] silverstar01, not sure about GB output in fdisk, but if you just need to see GBs of file space used, try df -h [07:02] VanessaE: top - 08:02:08 up 14 min, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 [07:02] [_ruben_ PING reply]: 25secs [07:02] Has it got a good heat sink in it? [07:02] brianwillis1984, good :) I'm not a gD user so I can not say anything more :) click / right click on it and find your way [07:02] help me how to remove older kernel [07:02] agusj: use synaptic remove them [07:02] jadi_ : ok thanks for all the help [07:02] (seriously, this matters. :) ) [07:03] brianwillis1984, you are welcome :) thanks GNU :) [07:03] thinkin of installing 9.10 on Acer aspire 5600...any known issues [07:03] Hi. Can I tether my Nokia N95 (or any other smartphone) using NetworkManager? Thanks. [07:04] SUNNYNARULA182, Audio problems seem to be the word of the day, especially where Pulseaudio is concerned. [07:04] suuny yeo [07:04] Internal Mic [07:04] SUNNYNARULA182, else, I haven't seen anything major. [07:04] Graphic Card [07:04] I did not find wvdial on ubuntu karmic [07:04] (on all platforms, that is, not necessarily on that Acer) [07:04] Do some terminal and fix the card reader into hot plugable [07:05] Valentina, does the CPU have a decent heat sink on it? [07:05] hi guys [07:05] is any one have kbox [07:05] Valentina, I ask this because "temp1" might actually be CPU temp, and temp2 might be an overread on chipset temperature [07:05] pls let me know [07:05] thnx ... guess i will try 9.10 and see [07:05] with a good heat sink, 34C is about right for idle., [07:06] It has got a fan that I bought to be very quiet (don't remeber it's name) but I think it's rathe roverkill (bought it because the old one was making to much noice). [07:06] My Athlon 64x2 3800+, for example, idles at 29C. [07:06] is there anyway to force udev to check again for all devices or something like that? [07:06] how to use modem via hp? I usually used wvdial, but I didnot find it on karmic [07:07] VanessaE: I have a manual fan control on the cable that I have set to the lowest to keep the fan as quiet as possible. [07:07] my external hdd turns itself off after some time, and now it is only recognized as sdd. even my other usb stick isn't working, it is just sde [07:07] VanessaE: It's a rather new fan and a rather old processor, single core, I think. [07:07] Valentina, that's fine for testing, but if you're gonna load that box down, you need to let the fan run as fast as it needs to, especially if you're going to put it in a closet or so [07:08] SysInfo: Linux 2.6.31-14-generic | Dual Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU Z520 @ 1.33GHz 800.000 MHz | Bogomips: 4963.78 | Mem: 698/993M [||||||||||] | Diskspace: 107.24G Free: 85.82G | Procs: 131 | Uptime: 3 hrs 59 mins 34 secs | Load: 4.45 4.06 3.49 | Vpenis: 74.7 cm | Vboobies: 46G | Screen: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller (rev 07) @ 1366x768 (32 bpp) | wlan0: In: 77.77M Out: 3.47M [07:08] gah. sorry [07:08] VanessaE: Ok, but do I really have the load of 0%? [07:08] Yep, you're idle. [07:08] Well Absenth g2g [07:08] so the last thing to check is to hold your hand very close to the system chipset for a few seconds - see if it's running hot or not. [07:09] (I suspect it'll be warm but not hot, in which case the "temp2" reading is probably a little off)( [07:09] How is Koala working out for people on chan? [07:09] i am truly blessed -- found my 32 bit 9.04 install disc! [07:09] VanessaE: Ok, the server will do some work in the future, then I can just keep on watching the sensors info and the top values, right? [07:10] Valentina, yup. As long as you don't crack more than maybe 50 degrees on the CPu temp, you'll be fine. [07:10] VanessaE: Will it really turn on fire, wouldn't the computer shut down if it get to hot? [07:10] VanessaE: Ok. [07:10] anyone here know how to discover flash radio addresses? [07:10] but first, you need to get in there and actually see if things are running close to what the numbers suggest, even if it's just holding a finger near a chip [07:10] Can anybody help me to configure Mobile Broadband in Network Connections? [07:11] naw, it'll just shut down if it's an AMD [07:11] if it ain't too old I mean [07:11] thanks [07:11] VanessaE: How do I know what values in sensors are processor and system temp? [07:12] I got two, how to know which one are processor? [07:12] VanessaE: temp1: +34.0°C (high = +0.0°C, hyst = +0.0°C) ALARM sensor = thermistor [07:12] and [07:12] VanessaE: temp2: +45.5°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = diode [07:12] Valentina: you have to kinda guess at it [07:12] easiest way to tell is to load the machine down [07:13] do something that eats CPU [07:13] see which one goes up the fastest. [07:13] that'll be the CPU temperature [07:13] compile an app [07:13] Valentina: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep name [07:15] Blue1, I think she means which of the two "temp" labels is really the CPU [07:15] it varies from one system to another. [07:15] VanessaE: ahh I don't know - I don't know how to monitor cpu temps in linux [07:16] Blue1: model name : Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 3.06GHz [07:16] i have issues in mounting a NTFS partition in Ubuntu 8.04 [07:16] on mine, "temp1" is the chipset, "temp2" is the CPU, and "temp3" is the "system" temp (ambient air temp, maybe) [07:16] hi everybody can i get help regarding evloution here [07:16] can any1 pls help me out? [07:16] VanessaE: Yeah, I will have to see if the CPU temp will increase when the server is working. [07:17] Valentina, it will. The question is by how much [07:17] what is dbus-demon [07:17] uy87yiht76rfd5ewy [07:17] i m not able to mount a NTFS partition in Hardy heron [07:17] under normal circumstances, a chip should idle close to 30-35C, and full load close to 45-50C depending on the processor, heatsink, and fan combo [07:18] and ubuntu take a time for logout in ubuntu 8.04 ltsp server [07:18] !evoloution [07:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about evoloution [07:18] its gonna be me [07:18] VanessaE: Yeah, I will have to follow the values. [07:18] VanessaE: how do you monitor the temp any way - what programme does that? [07:18] mine idles at 29C, does full load at around 46C, and shuts down at 70C. [07:18] i have one computer with ubuntu/samba running, and another with the latest kubuntu installed, but i can't figure out how to get to my samba share from my kubuntu comp..could anyone point me in the right direction? [07:18] Blue1, I use wmtemp [07:18] it uses the lm-sensors package [07:18] idont know [07:18] i m not able to mount a NTFS partition in Hardy heron [07:18] VanessaE: I'll give it a try [07:19] ny1 listening? [07:19] oh ya??? [07:19] VanessaE: Will it shudown automatically or will I have to set that in some way? [07:19] so?? [07:19] Can anyone here please teach me how to make a bootable usb flash drive? I have the .iso image and a 3.2GB flash drive [07:19] Valentina, depends on the CPU - mine shuts down automatically, independent of the OS I think [07:20] I'd think that 4 GHz celery would to the same [07:20] http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+make+a+bootable+usb+flash+drive%3F&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [07:20] vtec: get unetbootin [07:20] have you used it yourself before, chris231989? [07:20] haah??? [07:20] VanessaE: wmtemp doesn't work onmy machine -- got weird errors installing it... [07:20] VanessaE: What system temperature and processor temperature will be "dangerous" values? Like 70 Celcius degrees at CPU and like what temperature at system? [07:20] Blue1, such as? [07:20] (pastebin) [07:20] i've used the windows version not unix yet though [07:21] whatS??? [07:21] Valentina, anything over 60 is getting into that "caution" zone [07:21] Chris, same here [07:21] !pastebin [07:21] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[07:21] get above perhaps 65 and you can say it's in the "danger" zone [07:21] After I let unetbootin do it's thing, it got stuck on the 10 second count down, do you know why? [07:21] oh, I dunno about the system temp, I'd say anything over 55 is grounds for concern. [07:21] VanessaE: http://paste.ubuntu.com/317573/ [07:22] VanessaE: how to split a flac image file (one .flac file with many individual music tracks within) using an associated .cue file [07:22] but this all depends on the design of the chip, the heat sink on it, and any fans. [07:22] blue: those aren't errors. [07:22] VanessaE: Ok, thanks for helping me out. Wouldn't it be the motherboar that controls when to shut down computer if CPU gets to hot? [07:22] *motherboard [07:22] no idea [07:22] Valentina, Not sure - I figured the CPU itself did that [07:22] has anyone had success accessing files on a samba share from another ubuntu computer? [07:23] blue: try running the program, see what it displays [07:23] blue: but try "sensors" first. [07:23] VanessaE: Ok. [07:23] VanessaE: let me look at the man and see if I understand that [07:24] hi [07:24] getting an error message in ubuntu 8.04 ltsp server " hcid[6255]: Can't connect to system message bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused [07:24] " [07:24] VanessaE: no it just does nothing - the task is in the taskbar but nothing comes up - I don't understand what you meant by sensors [07:25] blue1: try typing the word sensors in a terminal [07:25] VanessaE: okay [07:25] VanessaE: ahh that worked [07:25] Can anyone here please teach me how to make a bootable usb flash drive? I have the .iso image and a 3.2GB flash drive [07:26] CAn someone give me some tips on why the hamster-applet is not showing the graphs. The numbers is moved just like the graphs was there but were transperant. [07:26] blue1: do you get several lines of info like voltages and temperatures and stuff? [07:26] howzit, I require assistance [07:26] I've done apt-get build-dep hamste-applet but that didn't help. [07:26] VanessaE: wow one is at 143F and the other at 141F [07:26] my sun virtual box doesnt allow my unbuntu to find my wireless lan card [07:26] i realise this is a sun virtual box issue [07:27] however need some help and only the opensourced community guys are worth anything [07:27] blue1: that may be incorrect.

[07:29] Blue, I installed vsftpd, it wont connect [07:29] Dravekx_: can you pastbin your config file? [07:29] sure :) [07:30] anyone know of a url snooper like program for linux? [07:30] url snooper? [07:31] skullbox, there's probably something like that written in python out there somewhere (people go into #python all the time to code stuff like that) [07:31] skullbox: would that be something like wireshark? [07:31] VanessaE: Now it's running. The load is during execution of scripts: top - 08:30:54 up 43 min, 1 user, load average: 0.18, 0.05, 0.01 [07:31] VanessaE: And: Cpu(s): 8.3%us, 3.6%sy, 0.0%ni, 88.1%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st [07:32] Valentina, that's a little better, but it needs more load. Get that puppy up to 100% or close to it [07:32] * VanessaE thinks.. [07:32] halden, i believe wireshark might be able to accomplish it [07:32] Blue1, http://pastebin.com/db976c52 [07:33] I can't think of anything simple to drive the load up... [07:33] well [07:33] wait, a kernel compile will do [07:33] can you do that? [07:34] VanessaE: This is the load it will be using though it would be nice to know what temperature will be when load is above 90%, I think. [07:34] Blue1, I only want user authentification logins [07:34] Valentina, we need to know what it [07:34] via FTP [07:34] ... [07:34] but it keeps telling me it wont connect. [07:34] Dravekx_: okay let me look [07:35] what it's like at high load, to get an idea of what temperature range the sensors program is going to report [07:35] VanessaE: Processor temp still being 35, didn't it increase at all? === root is now known as Guest4577 [07:36] VanessaE: The processor temp increased from 34 to 35 during a ordinary execution of scripts. [07:36] Dravekx_: I see a couple of things wrong [07:36] an increase of one or two degrees isn't enough of a test [07:36] blue1, yes? what to change? [07:36] need to do something that'll bump it up a good 5+ degrees to be sure [07:37] . i got this crappy noise in my audio after i upgrade to 9.10............. anyone? [07:37] i'm getting a 'Timeout on server' error when trying to connect to a smb server on an ubuntu server, from a kubuntu server. any suggestions? [07:37] *but* all else being equal, if the machine is never going to be heavily loaded, you'll probably be fine as it stands now. [07:37] Dravekx_: are you you have no anon root or secure root defined -- [07:37] let me pastebin mine -- [07:38] k [07:38] #ubuntu [07:39] Blue1, i just want autheticated logins. no anonymous. [07:39] Dravekx_: this is my config -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/317579/ [07:40] which is "tap" key when trying to boot a ubuntu cd [07:40] tap key? [07:40] f2 f8 f12? [07:40] VanessaE: Yeah, I think so to. I'm not planning to load it much more than this so I think it will do. How do I load a machine to test how it will respond in the best way? [07:40] Blue1, thanks... Im noting changes now. [07:41] Valentina, best simple test is to build a kernel [07:41] help pls i got this stuttering sound ..im using 9.10 [07:41] that'll tax the CPU and it'll give your disk and memory a good thrashing [07:41] Dravekx_: mine is setup for anon ftp -- so if you're not using that - skip that section... [07:41] VanessaE: System temperature even seem to fall a degree or two during the process. :S [07:42] if you don't manage to crack 45 degrees during a build, you'll be fine [07:42] VanessaE: why not use something like "stress" (apt-get install stress)? [07:42] that's normal, CPU temp will rise and fall pretty dramatically at times. [07:42] VanessaE: Hm, well, I don't know much about building kernels. [07:42] stress! THAT was the package I was thinking of! [07:42] thank you, Jare :) [07:42] Balsaq, is it next to the 'any' key? :) [07:43] np [07:43] Dravekx_: hang on a sec -- what ports do you have open in your router? [07:43] I haven't built a kernel since... redhat 6 [07:43] i burned a ubuntu disk (1st time)...trying to make it boot? [07:44] Dravekx_: ftp uses 2 ports -- 20 and 21 iirc [07:44] how do i get this ubuntu cd to run? [07:44] Balsaq, set your bios to look at cd before hard drive at bootup [07:44] Balsaq how did you burn it [07:45] Blue1, Im configuring it now. :) [07:45] Balsaq, (please change your nick, it looks offensive) - normally you just pop it in and reboot [07:45] Hi to all [07:45] a7 8x speed...chose iso image [07:45] I am newbie [07:45] a7=at [07:45] mataks, try this. in a terminal: "alsamixer -Dhw" and lower the PCM volume level a little. [07:45] What package provides section 2 of the man pages (System Calls)? AlI have is intro [07:45] Im having a strange problem [07:45] Dravekx_: yes ports 20 and 21 need to be forwarded in your router, unless you have a direct connect (no router) you may still need to open those ports if you have a firewall enabled -- [07:45] i have a file with iran encoding [07:45] * VanessaE wanders off to bed [07:45] VanessaE sorry its my registered nick, the h is silent [07:45] good luck with your box, Valentina. [07:45] mataks, although, there is the possibility that PCM will reset to max everytime you reboot [07:45] i want to convert it to english [07:45] how can i make it [07:46] did you use an image burner or just dragged and dropped it [07:46] the characters displays is like '�����������������' [07:46] luckymurali: google translator? [07:46] i used image ISO [07:46] Billiard, for my file??? [07:47] luckymurali: well how long is it [07:47] then set bios to boot from cd first and reboot [07:47] ok setting to cd [07:48] kostkon, i lower it down .. and it lowers my volume also [07:48] hey everybody i'm trying to run an .exe from within an iso [07:48] how do i do it? [07:48] ndroftheline: what is the exe for? [07:48] Billiard, it's for office 2003 [07:49] Billiard, its a trusted backup [07:49] kostkon, still not working.. .. [07:49] ndroftheline: ok, have you installed wine? [07:49] Billiard, yep [07:49] Billiard, i have the iso mounted with the Archive Mounter [07:49] ndroftheline: ok [07:49] hi all. how do i set up this simple file sharing: http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.26/ ? like so ppl can download files via http? [07:49] mataks, ok [07:49] ndroftheline: what happens when you try to run the exe with wine? [07:49] ys [07:50] freaky[t]: yes [07:50] Billiard, well nothing. i right-click, click Run with Wine, and nothing happens. [07:50] Blue1, what are you using for FTP? [07:50] Biliard its around 2.2 GB [07:50] how does one enter the scrollback buffer in ubuntu? The usual C-a ] doesn't work [07:50] client side? [07:50] I'm using the screen profiles package [07:50] Billiard, not even a spike in cpu usage, which i'm monitoring [07:50] Dravekx_: client side - filezilla [07:50] Biliard, its around 2.2 GB [07:50] geez..cant even get into bios? [07:50] ndroftheline: try mounting the cd without using archive mounter [07:50] Blue1, i mean, how? atm it only displays file sharing over shares .. but not the http options etc.? [07:50] Dravekx_: ncftp works will took [07:50] too [07:50] ndroftheline: iso rather [07:50] Blue1, Could not connect to server <<< filezilla.. hm. something isnt right [07:51] Billiard, yeah i was going to do that but i wanted to learn more about archive mounter [07:51] hello every one [07:51] ustan ctrl-alt up [07:51] Billiard, do you kow if it actually mounts it on a mount point somewhere in the filesystem or is it just instantiated in the program? [07:51] Dravekx_: what about your port settings? [07:51] ctrl-shift up maybe [07:51] ndroftheline: yeah not really sure, it might not be actually be mounted somewhere [07:51] on the server? [07:51] or on the router? [07:51] Hi all, I'm running 8.04.3 as xen server on a SunX4150 and since last week I've a pciback problem... The DomU see's the device but doesnt load modules!!! [07:51] can some one tell me how to get the history for the last packages i installed in ?? [07:52] using repo... [07:52] Blue1, the router has 20 & 21 open for FTP [07:52] Billiard, yeah i'm afraid that's how it is. which sucks. why the hell didn't they just make archive moutner put it on a mount ponit? [07:52] freaky[t]: well if you want them to download files you need something like bitorrent or ftp [07:52] Im not sure about the server [07:52] Billard try manual mount using loopback [07:52] Blue1, no i mean this feature from gnome [07:52] Dravekx_: and forwarded to the right ip? [07:52] Blue1, where u can simply share files via http eg. [07:52] Guest4577: im not the one having troubles [07:52] freaky[t]: not fam with that sorry... [07:53] ok anyone else? [07:53] Blue1, i can login via localhost, so its something with the server [07:53] hello [07:54] Dravekx_: let me look at that again.... [07:54] Why is opening a pdf so slow in karmic?? [07:54] lianimator: what viewer? [07:54] Dravekx_: are you expecting random users to access this? anonymous users? [07:54] Blue1, http://pastebin.com/d7808063e [07:54] how big is the pdf and how slow is your comp [07:54] so...anybody a samba expert? i'm not able to get to a samba server from another ubuntu computer [07:55] ActionParsnip: I've tried every viewer I could find in the Software Center, evince is especially slow [07:55] mneptok, no. I need ftp access for some file installs that require FTP. [07:55] Dravekx_: omw (on my way) [07:55] kluged: i'm ok with it [07:55] Billiard, yeah it works fine if the iso is mounted normally. [07:55] lianimator: try renaming the evince config folder then rerun so you get stock settings [07:55] Dravekx_: SFTP won't work? [07:55] Billiard, thanks [07:55] ndroftheline: ok [07:55] mneptok, no, they dont support SFTP [07:56] FTP only [07:56] good lord. it's 2009. [07:56] almost 2010 [07:56] this is by far the busiest chat I have seen :-) [07:56] not according to some religions, Dravekx_ ;) [07:57] yeah 1500 users these days , was around 1200 users some time ago [07:57] can some one tell me how to get the history for the last packages i installed in my ubuntu 8.04 using repo..?? [07:57] looks like open source is alive and well ;-) [07:57] Dravekx_: have you looked in the progamme output log /var/log/vsftpd.log [07:58] blue1, looking now [07:58] Rishab_: you could look in /var/cache/apt/archives and check the access / modified dates [07:58] Dravekx_: that might give us a clue... [07:58] rishab look in apt folder for logs [07:58] Actionparsnip: it's more networking issue i guess. i type smb://servername but get a timed out response [07:58] or dmesg [07:58] kluged: can you ping the name? [07:59] kluged: if not then DNS is failing and you will either need to add an entry in /etc/hosts or use the IP [07:59] Fri Nov 13 00:25:50 2009 [pid 1] [dravekx] OK LOGIN: Client [07:59] VanessaE: The package stress to increase the load of CPU? [07:59] ActionParsnip: tried that.. and still slow [07:59] are /99 [07:59] cool, thanks. i'll try that out [07:59] Dravekx_: how are you testing outside your lan? [07:59] lianimator: thats all I got, works ok here on my POS desktop [07:59] how can you tell if someone is running a bot here.. [08:00] ActionParsnip: this particular pdf is exported from powerpoint 2007.. with some background and graphics. also, it shows in [Compatibility Mode] [08:00] lianimator: try remove --purgeing it, then delete the config folder, then reinstall fresh [08:00] Blue1, Im on WAN and logging into the IP. [08:00] Dravekx_: okay [08:00] lianimator: ahh have you tried a different file? [08:00] blue1, idk.. this is weird. lol [08:00] satmonster: they are, theres 2 [08:01] Dravekx_: indeed [08:01] ActionParsnip, yea i can ping it [08:01] ActionParsnip: yes, other files with just text works fine. even those in Compatibility Mode without any graphics. I think it's the background graphics that's slowing it down [08:01] yeah cuz some stuff don't make sense. lol [08:01] kluged: by name or just IP? [08:01] lol, how do i stop a ping? [08:01] by name [08:01] kluged: ctrl + c [08:01] aaah, shoot wait a sec [08:01] ActionParsnip in that location I could see some 100's of packages [08:01] quit [08:01] kluged: ctl c [08:01] Dravekx_: wait I think I spotted something [08:02] Rishab_: then you will need to look at the access dates and created times [08:02] Guest4577 and that I could not find [08:02] anyone know any channels on networking? [08:02] Blue1, http://pastebin.com/d3096e195 These ports are open [08:02] it may be related to that these two computers have the same name... :P [08:02] Rishab_: when you have done what you need to do, i suggest you run: sudo apt-get clean to empty that out to save space [08:02] i'm setting up the second as a replacement [08:03] Dravekx_: you have no router then? [08:03] blue1, thats on the router [08:03] Will the hard drive temperature be an issue? And how do I check hard drive temperature in Ubuntu Server? === Julia is now known as Guest6592 [08:04] so rather, i'm only pinging myself :( *blushes* [08:04] ActionParsnip Thx I never did that >> [08:04] how do i type a message directly to someone in irc?

[08:10] blue1, thanks man! I start the server, but its not listed as "LISTENING" [08:10] kluged: if you changed the hostname, you will [08:10] Rishab_ are you using synaptic cause it has a history under file [08:10] Dravekx_: i think that's the problem [08:10] ah. the whole system? [08:10] hi [08:10] blue1, should i uninstall openssh? [08:10] kluged: if you run cmd.exe on the windows side and run: hostname it will tell you what it is [08:11] maybe there 's a conflict [08:11] Dravekx_: but I get a little loopy after midnight when I turn back into a pumpkin [08:11] haha [08:11] Dravekx_: no need for that... [08:11] re-install winod.. ahh!

[08:12] :-D [08:12] Dravekx_: if not we'll be here tomorrow [08:12] Blue1, cool. me too.

[08:14] MrObvious: sure [08:14] yah yeh [08:14] ActionParsnip: Is it pretty easy? I know you couldn't in the last release so I went to another distro. [08:14] Rishab_ /var/log/apt/term.log [08:14] What does this mean: 500 OOPS: cannot read config file: start ??? [08:14] * NineTeen67Comet wonders to self... Why the push for IPv6 if it's not going to be implemented? Or complicates things? .. Guess I need to Google it more cuz it's a pain right now .. [08:14] MrObvious: i'm guessing you use firefox, you should disable it there too [08:15] koala cheat codes. sorted :S [08:15] MrObvious: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu-910.html === vagvaf is now known as vagvaf_ [08:15] MrObvious: that link has both the system and firefox configs covered [08:15] ActionParsnip: Ok thanks. That actually is easy which is good. [08:16] ActionParsnip: I was ticked that 9.04 didn't because it made the network badly laggy. [08:16] MrObvious: just some config files, nothing strenuous [08:16] Yea ok. [08:16] :D [08:16] hi guys, need some help. I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 thru updates, after restarting I cannot login, after typing my password the splash displays then return to the login screen. [08:16] MrObvious: although I'm sure some dweeb will be all "There should be a gui for this". Makes me sick\ [08:17] Ah that's not too bad actually. [08:17] Too bad they couldn't just make a .deb though. :p [08:17] sleeping is a goog thing [08:17] it refreshes the brain [08:17] MrObvious: its so simple though but i get the joke ;) [08:17] lol. [08:17] hellyeah: also releeases hormones to start body repairs [08:18] yeah [08:19] dagnabbit, i might have to upgrade about a dozen gutsys to latest [08:19] restart whole system in human being [08:19] I have add in medibuntu repository, but cannot update [08:19] is the upgrade path such a balls up? [08:20] heywest: can you use http://pastebin.com to give the output of; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [08:20] hi guys, need some help. I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 thru updates, after restarting I cannot login, after typing my password the splash displays then return to the login screen. [08:20] hi, does anyone know how to execute a binary several folders deeper than you are? [08:20] Harold_parker: use ./folder/folder/folder/binary [08:21] Harold_parker: the . means start from the pwd, you can omit it and start at / [08:21] ActionParsnip it says permission denied, even though i have perms to execute it from its folder === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter [08:22] ActionParsnip: always got GPG key error [08:22] Harold_parker: i'd chown the file to you then, covers all bases :) [08:22] Harold check file permissions [08:22] It won't be that hard to write a script that shut down the computer if the temperature messured by lm-sensors will reach above a specific value, would it? How do I do that the easiest way? === ovb_ is now known as ovb [08:22] heywest: sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring [08:22] its 777 and i own it :/ [08:22] heywest: you have not completed the instructions in whatever guide you are using [08:22] ok... I just deleted vsftpd.. gonna try one more time [08:22] heywest, [08:22] memory stick wont show up in /dev as sdb [08:23] GPG error is not important [08:23] Is it possible to add that to lm-sensors config file or shall I use som grep "" | shutdown -h 0 pipeline in a script? === Mannevond_ is now known as Mannevond [08:23] when try to mount it says device does not exist [08:23] Harold_parker: don't use 777, that will allow ANYONE to change the file (or replace it with a nasty one) and allow them to run it [08:23] heywest, GPG error is not important [08:23] Harold_parker: 777 doesnt mean you own it at all [08:23] ActionParsnip, thanks i know i'm just doing it now to be 100% sure [08:23] heywest, you just need to add gpg key to system [08:23] ActionParsnip, i know i do own it [08:23] Harold_parker: try: sudo chown $USER:$USER ./path/to/file [08:24] when i ls -l it shows me as the owner [08:24] Valentina: i think you'll need to write your own cron job [08:24] hellyeah: last time there are instruction to add in GPG key but now not there [08:24] oh well, thanks ActionParsnip. i'll continue to try [08:24] nicxe name btw [08:24] *nice [08:24] heywest: the medibuntu-keyring will add the keys for medibuntu, you just have to allow the installer to install it unverified. which is fine as it will then be verified via the keys [08:24] Harold_parker: thanks :) [08:25] Valentina: but this is a DoS-vulnerability, if an external user can cause load to your system and make it go down this way. [08:25] Hai All, I have a script that is to be run while my system boots, How to do that ???? [08:25] heywest: if you pastebin the output we can give the commands to import all the GPG keys you forgot to add [08:26] Valentina: but then, if it's just your Desktop, remotely inflicted DoS is probably not an issue. [08:26] heywest, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=603492 check this [08:26] Valentina: in any case, you'll wannt to also [08:26] ActionParsnip: is your name from Super Mario Bros 2? [08:26] heywest, the answer is there [08:26] brijith: add it in /etc/rc.local put an '&' after the script so it doesnt hold up the system while it executes [08:26] Boohbah: its a harry hill joke [08:27] Valentina: ...fix the cause. I.e. find out what causes the overheating (broken fan? not enough fans? a broken device?) [08:27] Boohbah: lots of root veg in mario 2 though ;) [08:27] ActionParsnip:http://pastebin.com/m2ea37ce3 [08:28] ActionParsnip: what this command "update-rc.d" is for ... [08:28] what does i.e. mean [08:28] ActionParsnip: yes, i was thinking of flying turnips :) [08:29] I made it Im here have no fear [08:29] heywest: yes run: sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring [08:29] heywest: allow the unverified installation, then it will all be smooth [08:29] ActionParsnip: why does my memory stick not show up as sdb in /dev when i connect it, i cant find it, and when i use dmesg |grep -i scsi command, it says [sdb] attached scsi removable disk [08:29] ActionParsnip: I think it does the same thing [08:30] ActionParsnip: but still i cant mount it [08:30] hellyeah: i.e. translates to "Id Est" its synonymous with e.g. [08:30] ESEDU: does the partition show in: sudo fdisk -l [08:31] Piet: I don't have any overheating at all. The thing is that I'm going to have a server up and going almoste every hour so i don't want it to burn down my house, therefore I'm planning to in someway let lm-sensors (by a script) check temp and eventually shutdown my server when temp reaches a value above my decided limit. [08:31] ActionParsnip: only sda1, 2 and 5 and ada1 has a star beside it * [08:31] ActionParsnip: if that means anyhing [08:32] ESEDU: yes, you have 1 drive sda with a few partitions on [08:33] ActionParsnip: ye, but the star, anyway [08:33] ESEDU: if you copy some of the dmesg output (multiple lines are ok too) you can put them in a websearch to see what shows [08:33] ActionParsnip: is my mmory stick one of these [08:33] ESEDU: has the stick been in a windows system? [08:33] Actionparsnip: yesterday it showed up fine, now nothing [08:34] ESEDU: ok, did you remove it the proper way or just pull the device out of the system? === zeltak1 is now known as zeltak [08:34] Actionparsnip: proprly, umount.... [08:35] ESEDU: with the safetly remove hardware program in the system tray? [08:35] i dont have gui [08:35] ESEDU: on the windows system, you will do [08:36] ESEDU: do you use the saftely remove hardware app in Windows or do you just rip the device from the system [08:37] ESEDU: why? [08:37] Piet: But if the computer won't go down on DoS due to high temp then maybe the computer willl turn into fire instead? [08:38] gehengwang: im using ubuntu server [08:38] Actionparsnip: i use remove saftly [08:38] ESEDU: good, its important [08:38] Actionparsnip: ok [08:38] ESEDU: do other usb things work ok? [08:38] ESEDU: oh ,i see [08:38] Actionparsnip: printer does [08:39] ok, I'd unmount and remove the device, wait 10 seconds, plug it back in, wait 10 seconds then run: dmesg | tail [08:39] ESEDU: copy a few lines of the output and paste them into search engines, see what crops up [08:39] who can tell me how to install ubuntu server edition from ubuntu os? [08:40] !info ubuntu-server [08:40] Package ubuntu-server does not exist in karmic === Aeryal_ is now known as Aeryal [08:40] :-/ [08:40] !server [08:40] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI.

[08:41] all hail ubottu [08:41] Actionparsnip: what am I suppsed to look at [08:41] are there ipv6 ubuntu mirrors? [08:41] is there a way to have indicator-applet actually watch my evolution email? currently it only watches when evolution is already open, making it a bit of a moot point [08:41] thanks [08:41] or I should say, my default setup is acting that way [08:41] ESEDU: you will see the device being detected in the dmesg output, if it is reporting issues you can websearch for the output to find guides [08:42] starcannon: do you use gmail? [08:42] starcannon: how would the indicator-applet check evolution mail if evolution was not running? [08:42] man it really does take awhile to compile a kernel [08:42] chanserv [08:42] how to use aptitude to update all my system except the kernel ?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [08:43] Actionparsnip: no issues, just pretty standard stuff here i guess "write mode protect is off" "mode sense: 23 00 00 00" " Assuming drive cache: write trough" attached scsi removable disk" "attached scsi generic sg2 type 0" [08:43] ESEDU: if you have a shared network folder you could output the dmsg output to a text file then use a desktop system to websearch === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [08:43] Actionparsnip: thats all [08:43] maxagaz: If you don't want to get kernel updates, just remove the linux-image-* packages that don't have versions in them. Those metapackages are what cause your kernel to updae [08:43] ESEDU: ok what is the output of: file /dev/sg2 [08:43] * MenZa updates Flannel [08:43] Valentina: if said computer is not a server in production, then forget about my DoS remark [08:44] Actionparsnip: how do I check that, cat /dev/sg2? [08:44] ESEDU: no, i gave the exact command [08:44] ESEDU: file /dev/sg2 [08:44] xmodmap -e 'keycode 133 = Control_L' should map some button to the left control action, right? [08:45] ActionParsnip, I have my own mailserver, Boohbah, I had assumed that the notifier had the bits and pieces it needed to check the status of the inbox, otherwise whats the point? [08:45] Flannel, i just want to prevent my system from installing new kernel [08:45] "file of directory does not exist" [08:45] starcannon: Sounds like you might want something that queries your server directly. [08:45] Flannel, i thought aptitude safe-upgrade would do it [08:45] starcannon: gotcha, my suggestion is pointless then [08:45] after a recent update, my laptop's touchpad loses all of the configuration information when I restore from suspend (in karmic). has anyone else run into this? [08:45] MenZa yes exactly [08:45] starcannon: what I do is have evolution alltrayed so it runs in the system tray and out of the way [08:45] starcannon: like a mail client... [08:45] MenZa, there's no easier solution for the kernel ? [08:46] maxagaz: See what Flannel said [08:46] ActionParsnip, that what I'll do then [08:46] starcannon: so what is wrong with running evolution in the tray? memory usage? [08:46] ActionParsnip: /dev/sg2: ERROR: cannot open /dev/sg2 (no such file or directory) [08:46] starcannon: if you used gmail you can run gmail-notifier [08:46] Boohbah I think you understand my intention, no point in pointing out the obvious any longer. I'm not looking for troll wars [08:46] ESEDU: bah, then ive no idea man, sorry [08:47] ActionParsnip nod, that'd be easy enough as well [08:47] ActionParsnip: thanks anyway :) [08:47] starcannon: i don't understand, oh well. [08:47] * MenZa compiled gnome-gmail-notifier today; finds it better than the packages currently provided in the repos. [08:47] Flannel: Well, you can uninstall them that way, but won't they reappear once you reload? How can you prevent them from being installed with the automatic updates? [08:47] chrisbschw: What do you mean? reload what? and what automatic updates are you talking about? [08:48] . [08:48] Flannel: Sorry, the kernel. You said 'remove linux-image-*' to stop the kernel from updating. [08:48] Piet: Well, it's a home-server but it will be going a lot of hours a day. [08:48] chrisbschw: No, I said remove the linux-image-* that don't have version numbers in them (such as linux-generic, linux-image-generic, etc) [08:49] MenZa, Flannel, it won't be automatically reinstalled by another dummy package like ubuntu-server ? [08:49] chrisbschw: Those packages (well, linux-generic depends on linux-image-generic) depend on the current kernel, so when they get updated, you get a new kernel version. If you didn't have those, you wouldn't. That's how the kernel gets 'updated', even though a new package gets installed [08:49] Flannel: Remove them from where? :) You mean uncheck them every time the update thing pops up, or `aptitude remove linux-generic`? [08:49] chrisbschw: no, I mean uninstall them from your system via your favorite package manager [08:49] maxagaz: I honestly don't know; I think Flannel has more expertise on this particular point. [08:50] maxagaz: no metapackages will depend on the kernel packages [08:50] My mouse keeps shooting off to the corner of the screen at random times, is this known, or is it due to some IR interference? [08:50] is your mouse a trackball mouse? [08:50] maxagaz: (well, except the kernel ones). ubuntu-desktop, etc don't [08:50] hey is there a way to make the desktop larger then the physical screen so that it scrolls when you move your mouse to the edge? [08:51] No, it's an IR mouse... kind of cheap, like one of those $3 dollars one [08:51] MenZa, Flannel, thanks [08:51] you could take a qtip and clean the optical sensor [08:51] Boohbah, i think it has something to do with the evolution devs not wanting to do it [08:52] glicks: you can use a virtual screen size in xorg.conf and you will get that [08:52] my internet coonnection is slow in kubuntu virtual box, how to fix it?

[09:04] Valentina: as long as you can ensure both good cooling with the server and in the area surrounding the server, no overheating shuld occur. But if you cannot, your strategy looks like a good way to go. [09:04] i am searching on te eGoogle dude [09:04] Where can I get a copy of rgb.text to but in my X11R6 folder?

[09:06] glicks: works great, uses waaaay less ram even under flash, ff is one of my least liked browsers [09:07] does anyone can browse xml format webpage using firefox ? [09:07] hmm [09:07] actually guys..how do we kill all pid of processes that contain "-port 55555" in ps aux? [09:07] so chrome would prolly be better on my netbook eh?

[09:08] glicks: I cant tell you that, try it yourself and test [09:08] glicks: not sure, i dont use that stuff [09:08] ps aux | grep -v grep | grep "-port 55555" <-- kill all this processes [09:08] glicks: my guess is no as its fairly new, i'm not overly sure though as I havent looked into that stuff [09:10] How can I find out what version my UBUNTU?

I'm will be able to manually restart the server if it shuts down. I have to take that chance. I just don't want my apartment to burn down. Therefore I was thinking of a way to shut the server down if it is getting to hot. [09:18] now iam mremoved all [09:18] no compiz [09:18] nothing [09:18] kartook: if the plugin isnt in the packs then you will need to find out another way to install it [09:18] what is the way ? [09:18] lordganesh: thats for old grub, you need the older live cd for that [09:18] just type the full line all installables what i need for that [09:18] kartook: whomever packaged the plugins obviosly removed it [09:18] like sudo apt-get install .......? [09:18] lordganesh: boot with older live cd,and follow some steps [09:19] kartook: how do you mean? [09:19] indus: then what is way for new grub [09:19] can i run this command now [09:19] ? [09:19] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-namager compiz-fusion-plugins-extra and compiz-fusion-plugins-main [09:19] lordganesh: screw new grub, ill help you restore with old one [09:19] any thing need to Add on this [09:19] ? [09:19] kartook: sure [09:19] burn is standard for compiz, and can be enabled using compizconfig-settings-manager available by that name in Synaptic Package Manager. [09:19] kartook: that will give you compiz [09:19] lordganesh: ok with new grub, just run sudo grub-install /dev/sda [09:20] what about the fire effect [09:20] lordganesh: did you try? [09:20] E: Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-namager [09:20] haa error [09:20] indus: should i try from live cd [09:20] lordganesh: yes [09:20] Valentina: pretty much all computers nowadays will power off themselves if they overheat. [09:20] lordganesh: i suggest using old grub [09:20] kartook: you can't type [09:21] Its: compizconfig-settings-manager [09:21] not: compizconfig-settings-namager [09:21] lordganesh: ok first lets try with new, boot 9.10 live cd [09:21] Valentina: but of course it's better to do it by software and have a clean shutdown. [09:21] namager isnt even a word ;) [09:21] how do I burn an ISO using the command line?

[09:22] Valentina: Assuming you have your lm-sensors configuration well tuned for your hardware, you could just have a cron job run every 5 minutes (or even less) to run sensors and grep for 'ALARM', and shutdown in the event that you find this word. [09:22] kartook thats likely the best place to start [09:22] #reddit [09:22] lordganesh: hmm [09:22] kartook: if you wish, it will achieve the same end, command line is just quicker [09:22] lordganesh: boot live cd and come back here [09:22] surte [09:22] i wish [09:23] Anyone here know an active vintage audio channel?(I know off topic, but I'd really like to find one with people in it) [09:23] lordganesh: ok nvm write this down then === hemanth is now known as g33k [09:23] kartook: sure it is, you dont have to load a silly gui, yu can just get on with installing whats needed [09:23] lordganesh: this is for older live cd [09:23] any way i started installation [09:23] let we see [09:23] i cant get vsftpd to start [09:24] Piet: Yeah, I guess. I have red some info about that kind of script doing that. The problem is I already having ALARM probably due to the config settings. But if I only get the last line of sensors command output then I will get the system and processors temp. [09:24] lordganesh: once booted, open a terminal and type sudo grub , then type find /boot/grub/stage1 , then enter this value in command root (hdx,y), and finally setup (hd0) [09:24] installing COmpiz-fusion-plugins-extra [09:24] dont forget the space [09:24] compiz-wrapper [09:24] Piet: Actually, this already says ALARM: temp1: +35.0°C (high = +0.0°C, hyst = +0.0°C) ALARM sensor = thermistor [09:25] Piet: Because of stupid default settings? [09:25] kartook: you need: compizconfig-settings-manager the rest will be auto installed for youo as the manager is dependant on them [09:25] yeah its autoselected all [09:25] :) [09:26] thanks once done iwi ll let you know [09:26] iam in 64kbps /sec [09:26] it wil ltake lot of time to complete [09:26] Okay, fresh install of vsftpd... anyone want to give me a heads up on configuring? i cant get the damn program to start. [09:27] kartook: is it worth all this hasstle for some worthless eyecandy? [09:27] :) [09:27] kartook: serious question [09:27] ActionParsnip, do the options for cdrecord work for wodim too? [09:27] because of my wife [09:28] suigeneris: not something ive used duder, have a play [09:28] she need to see [09:28] kartook: see what?

[09:50] zey: doesnt look bad for a 40Mb download [09:50] ok, thanks starcannon [09:50] @action : how to make LAN server [09:50] YazzY, could you open a app that you know it puts an icon in the tray, i.e. in the notif area, e.g. pidgin? [09:50] zey: not sure, i only just heard of it when you said [09:50] glicks btw, swap should be => amount of ram IF you want hibernate to work [09:50] HOW to make an assault cube LAN server??? [09:50] zey: and tab complete nicks, it highlights the text [09:50] I've tested alias '&'='2> /dev/null &' , so that when I open a program, the errors aren't written in the bash [09:50] What software do I need to login to my ubuntu server from Windows XP and see the "Windows" version of ubuntu rather than just the terminal prompt? [09:51] but it doesn't work. I'm using zsh [09:51] starcannon, so if i have 2 gigs ram, 2048megs of swap should work right? [09:51] UncleD you mean like a remote desktop client? [09:52] stracannon; yes thats excatly what i mean [09:52] glicks, you might want to leave some extra. [09:52] stracannon i want to remote desktop from windows -> bunutu [09:52] glicks yeah, make it 2096 to adjust for overhead and too help ensure that hibernate will work if you want it to [09:52] Toffe, Don't use &, use AM and use alias -g AM='foobar' [09:52] ubuntu rather [09:52] zey: i think you just run a game and select HOST rather than JOIN [09:53] hi guys, please check this link as I want to know how to change RWIN http://www.speedguide.net:8080/ [09:53] kostkon: yes, it's there [09:53] UncleD TightVNC will do the job [09:53] action : no, i cannot do it [09:53] YazzY, hmm ok [09:53] ok, thank you. So I write, in .zshrc, alias -g AM='foobar' ? [09:53] UncleD http://www.tightvnc.com/ [09:53] I'll try it now. Thank you [09:53] starcannon, do i need to install tightvnc server on my ubuntu machine? [09:53] i know if its should run assaultcube-server [09:54] but i don't know how to configure it [09:54] zey: their may be an option for dedicated server in the app. Have you tried that? [09:54] UncleD nope, it already has a vnc server and client, just install that to your windows machine, I recommend NOT running it as a service on your windows machine, just start and stop it when you need it. [09:54] ActionParsnip, you gotta a moment ? [09:54] WishingMaster: sup [09:54] Toffe, alias -g AM='2> /dev/null &' [09:54] ah ok [09:55] starcannon, ok what i'm saying is lets say my ubuntu server is ubuntu.com [09:55] ActionParsnip, i want you to have a look at this http://www.speedguide.net:8080/ [09:55] your saying my ubuntu server is already running a vnc server? [09:55] Toffe, then when you need it your-command-here AM [09:55] UncleD heres a howto I wrote, I think it "should" get you setup they way you need to be http://www.mylinuxinstaller.com/Guides.html [09:55] Valentina: i see [09:55] WishingMaster: ok, do you use a router? [09:56] ActionParsnip, i have a usb 3g modem [09:56] ActionParsnip, i want to change RWIN [09:56] Thank's a lot [09:56] Action: got it figured out [09:57] starcannon that howto just shows how to install tight vnc [09:57] WishingMaster: i have no idea about this stuff dude. Why did you ask me rather than asking the channel? [09:57] ageeb: always nice to hear a success story :D [09:57] starcannon my question is once ive installed tight vnc, how do i log into my ubuntu box with it [09:57] hi guys , how can i convert many svg file to png ? [09:57] r3za: install imagemagick [09:57] r3za: then you can run: convert input.svg output.png [09:57] Toffe, np [09:57] ActionParsnip, you have answered most of my issues in the past thats why i asked you [09:58] WishingMaster: ask the channel, if I know I reply. If not I don't [09:58] I did what you said and it installed Sweet [09:58] sam__: nice [09:58] ActionParsnip: :) [09:58] ActionParsnip, okay [09:58] if running a netbook, should i turn on home folder encryption [09:58] what kind of performance hit will that be on a netbook? [09:58] WishingMaster: http://fasterdata.es.net/TCP-tuning//linux.html [09:58] will it be noticably slower? [09:58] UncleD run the TightVnc Viewer from the Windows Applications menu, make sure you have the vnc server turned on in Ubuntu (System>Preferences>Remote Desktop) === DarK``__ is now known as DarK` [09:59] glicks:just remember, in case of your sytem not booting, it is impossible to recover it [09:59] llutz, let me check that brb [09:59] indus, can i add that option later? [09:59] UncleD there will be a wizard that will let you put in the url of your Ubuntu box when you run the TightVNC viewer client [09:59] and remove it as well? [09:59] glicks: hmm yes i believe [10:00] starcannon: I it appears that I need to install vncserver on my ubuntu box though [10:00] glicks: but i dont know how [10:00] so, 9.10 is crap???? [10:00] There's a GUI tool for editing policy kit authorizations, what is its name? I can't remember... :( [10:00] starcannon because i hanvent setup vnc on my ubuntu box. ie. no password, no vnc server setup [10:00] UncleD, it is already installed, you just have to enable it through System>Preferences>Remote Desktop [10:00] ah [10:00] thats what i was asking [10:00] will there be an dist-upgrade from LTS to the new LTS, next year? [10:01] UncleD look up a ways hehe, you missed my previous post on it :) [10:01] johe|work: yes [10:01] starcannon: can i enable remote desktop remotely through the terminal prompt [10:01] because im logged into my ubuntu server remotely right now via ssh [10:01] im trying to set this all up remotely [10:01] so that I can login to the actual machine [10:01] UncleD: you could always just configure the system via ssh [10:02] UncleD you should be able to, that'd be a gconftool thing I'd think, or there are other ways of doing it; I have never tried that though [10:02] where is it located [10:02] A friend of mine have spent several weeks of googling and reading to get 5.1 sound threw HDMI going on a atom330 based HTPC. I have also googled a bit on this and it seems as many have the same problem. Who owns this problem? Why is this a probem? Have anyone some input? Can you choose a better platform for a HTPC than atom330? [10:02] UncleD: or you could use X forwarding to enable the VNC service stuff [10:02] Found it: polkit-gnome-authorization ==> but why isn't it installed in Karmic? Something changed? [10:02] ActionParsnip how [10:02] llutz, well i have performed the steps mentioned in http://fasterdata.es.net/TCP-tuning//linux.html and looking for steps to change RWIN [10:02] root will always be able tu execute scripts without changing permissions, or am I wrong? [10:02] *to [10:02] I'm making animation in GIMP, in Gif. Everything else ok, but why are my pictures overlapping in the animation, I want them to be just one pic and then the next [10:03] UncleD: if the client is windows based you will need to install xming and connect with: putty -x user@server [10:03] Valentina, I wouldnt really know, But I think not. [10:03] UncleD: if teh client is a linux box with a desktop you can simply run: ssh -X user@server [10:03] I have putty [10:03] and the client is windows based [10:03] Valentina root can be exluded from permissions, though generally it's not [10:03] Valentina: no. file still needs to be executable through the permissions [10:03] UncleD: when you launch gui apps, they will be displayed on the desktop bt be running on the server side (like citrix) [10:03] so i need to install xming on the server (ubuntu) [10:04] ? [10:04] UncleD: then you need to install xming as windows does not have an x server [10:04] starcannon: Ok, I chmod my script to 700 then user will have full privileges, but what about root? [10:04] UncleD: no, on the windows box, so the gui apps have an x server to stick to [10:04] ah. [10:04] does anyone know how to add home encryption to ubuntu 9.10 after installation? [10:04] so xming is a windows application [10:04] UncleD: what are you going to be doing on the server side once you get VNCd in? [10:04] Valentina I just chmod +x somescript.sh [10:04] UncleD: yes xming is a windows application [10:05] starcannon: I don't want everyone to be able to execute it. [10:05] dutchbuntu, thx [10:05] just my user and root. [10:05] ActionParsnip: i just want to be able to login to my X ubuntu desktop [10:05] rather than always having to just login to the terminal prompt via ssh [10:05] UncleD: but for what purpose? most apps have web interfaces or can be manipulated easily via ssh [10:05] Valentina http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/chmodcal.shtml [10:05] UncleD, www.nomachine.com [10:06] Hello I just installed Windows 7 alongside my ubuntu partition but how do I get my GRUB back? anyone know?

[10:07] UncleD: thats fine :) [10:07] ActionParsnip: ive been using my ubuntu server remotely from a windows desktop for a few years as a terminal prompt [10:08] and i'd like to vnc in. [10:08] the other thing is.. my ubuntu server doesnt have a monitor, i always have to ssh into it from another machine [10:08] starcannon: Yes, I know, chmod 700 won't let group and owner execute the script but my own user will.

[10:09] hey guys! does anyone knows how to change RWIN as Default TCP Receive Window ? http://www.speedtest.net/ [10:09] Valentina I believe root should be able to, worst that happens is you have to chmod it again, or create a group just for the script and make sure to add it to root and userx [10:10] UncleD: cool, i'd stick with ssh if its a proper server [10:10] WishingMaster: see LINUX-part of http://proj.sunet.se/E2E/tcptune.html , all those parameter have to be changed for changing RWIN [10:10] WishingMaster: it's not a single parameter === andy is now known as Guest24990 [10:11] hey is there an ubuntu netbook channel?

Might be easier to use /etc/cron.d/ for hte job than sudo crontab -e but that's a matter of taste really. [12:39] koppe: i would check out the various nvidia cards/reviews depends on your budget also. [12:39] hey all [12:39] hi [12:39] Dr_Willis, what audio prg do u use? banshee? [12:39] eddym: none really [12:39] Ok, well, maybe it's the path that is playing me a joke. [12:39] I'll test to set full path to commands. [12:39] Valentina: try adding "root" before your command on the cron line [12:40] i have Dell XPS m1530, After upgrading 9.04 to 9.10 i don't have sound. what is the problem? [12:41] 晕 [12:41] Valentina: the first thing i'd test is whether the cmd is actually getting executed. grep -i cron /var/log/*log [12:41] bonjour les tapettes [12:41] quoi de neuf ? [12:41] epinky: Ok, I thought it would be run as root if the cron job was created by: sudo crontab -e [12:42] parlez français car je suis là [12:42] that should show if the cron task is firignng [12:42] donc si vous parlez englais je vous frappe [12:42] and who it fires from [12:42] bandes de nazis !

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [12:43] How can i make a screensaver be running as root, to be able to stop a user from killing it ? (or is that the wrong way of doing things, basicly i have a eventmanager that listens for certain events, and locks the screensaver based on the event, however if i run this program as root, its not able to lock the screen of the current user, since the display is not available) [12:43] xur1z: Yes, I think it is: /var/log/syslog:Nov 13 13:35:01 c-3e79e755 CRON[6918]: (root) CMD (/home/valentina/myscript.sh) [12:43] sound problem.. [12:44] xur1z: Then I find the same line 5 minutes later and that seems to be correct. [12:44] Valentina: ok cool. so then u know u just need to debug the SCRIPT, not CRON [12:44] check paths in the script etc [12:44] ur cron looks fine if what u say is true [12:44] Hey everyone I just installed OzOs and have gotten almost everything working and happy. But for some reason I can not get my sound to work. [12:44] xur1z: Yeah, I think so, I'll have to see if the full path will do the trick. [12:45] debugging is a matter of choosing the test which will get u the most info [12:45] it's a lot like 20 questions [12:45] "is it cron or the script"? [12:45] Its driving me crazy because with debian it worked just fine. with Satanic ubuntu it did not work and now with OzOs is does not work [12:45] any suggestions [12:45] "is it ____ or ____?" [12:45] what can i do about that in evolution? http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/544/13664299.png [12:46] xur1z: No, it was run as root right now. And it didn't shutdown. There is still something wrong with the script. [12:46] does anyone know of patches for a HP un2400 Mobile Broadband Module Ethernet Adaptor? [12:46] yes, but now you know it's the script for sure, not cron [12:46] so u have 50% less possible issues to debug [12:46] mgv2: restart evolution? [12:47] epinky, i did it already [12:47] Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone here is using Windows in Virtual Box and has tried any windows games through Virtual Box? Does it work? [12:47] TheSeeker1: will depend on the game.. and i imagine not very well. [12:47] TheSeeker1: If you really <3 Windows Games, you should opt for dual-boot. [12:47] what is this vb? [12:47] mgv2: Karmic? [12:48] epinky, yes [12:48] TheSeeker1: solitair works [12:48] theseeker: I used suns virtual box with xp worked fine for me [12:48] try fring software for that.. [12:48] Dr_Willis: Is that because of the virtualization? [12:48] mgv2: open a terminal and type : /usr/lib/evolution/2.28/killev [12:48] any idea's on my problem? [12:49] JonNight: What games did you play? l'm not looking at anything graphic intensive maybe SimCity and others like that. [12:49] Here is my "shutdown script": http://paste.ubuntu.com/317750/ [12:49] eve-online :) [12:49] TheSeeker1: forget anything with Direct3D accelleration [12:49] It will be executed as root from my root cron job BUT it won't shutdown as it should. It will work in Terminal by sudo ./myscript.sh [12:49] JonNight: So I take it that eve-online is pretty graphically intensive?

[12:50] TheSeeker1: low end casual games can work [12:50] once you get it going its normaly not to bad [12:50] epinky, thanks [12:51] just do not think to play doom 3 at full speed [12:51] Valentina: bettter use /etc/crontab [12:51] Valentina: Try and run the commmand "/sbin/shutdown -h 0" in the root. [12:51] eve is a slow enough game I do not work about it [12:51] JonNight: What kind of config are you talking about?

Does anyone have any ideas how this could be done??? [13:20] anyone know the openoffice equivalent of the Selection object in MS? [13:20] c0ld, Then test with "ufw status". If it says disabled, you just type "ufw enable" and then "ufw status" again. [13:20] leaf-sheep: Ok, llutz did suggest to test to move the script to that folder and replace path in cron job but it didn't work anyway.

[13:22] any help plz [13:22] is ubuntu using fstack-protector (ssp) in gcc building all dev packages? [13:22] s/dev/deb [13:22] silidan, you boot into rescue mode and remove the driver :) [13:22] voidprayer: I don't believe it is, ssp's only been pushed in hardened distros [13:22] ikonia: Do you know if it.. stops X after any output is done? [13:23] USH-6150: no, X will run until you kill it [13:23] ikonia, but i remember that ubuntu has a hardened toolchain team. they are not working for desktop edition? only server edition? or even server edition is not hardened. [13:23] Tuju, Hi there. I don't have the answer for you, but you should look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers . You can add program in there that should always be allowed root access [13:24] blinkiz: i already did, actually. [13:24] voidprayer: honesty I'm not sure, I can't see it being in the desktop version, try #ubuntu-hardened for discussion [13:24] hi guys [13:24] ikonia, thanks. [13:24] blinkiz: the fact is, that it's confusing to the users. without sudo it's transparent and simpler. [13:24] does gsm modem mf626 work in ubuntu? [13:25] Hi All. Has anyone used the xserver-xorg-video-openchrome package in Karmic? I am having problems with the screen resolution on a Packard Bell laptop, and from reading forum posts, this might help. Will I need to generate an xorg.conf afterwards, or should it just work? [13:25] xurls, thx [13:25] Ali_: what do you mean by selection object? [13:25] Tuju, yeah, sudo can be a little pain. If you don't want to type sudo all the time, just go into root by typing "sudo -s". [13:26] what about 3G Modem MF626 in ubuntu? [13:26] blinkiz: i'm developing software, not having pain with keyboard. My motivation is to make it easy for users. [13:26] USH-6150: theres the framebuffer out features of mplayer. but im not sure how you would configure the tv out to work [13:26] Dr_Willis: won't fly with nvidia or ati cards [13:26] micr0x, basically [excuse the pun [13:26] How do I get UPSTART? [13:27] ikonia: ive done it in the past.. but that was with different cards when what i got now I think. geexbox does that (well it used to) [13:27] micr0x, basically [excuse the pun], i want to be able to convert an MS word macro to openoffice.org [13:27] hey guys if i want to search several files/directories for a string why will grep -ir "string" not work for me? It just hangs there forever [13:27] micr0x, and the ms word one uses 'Selection.cut' and 'Selection.paste' etc [13:27] Dr_Willis: Well, it's something like that that I'm looking to do, I don't think X is necessary..? [13:28] jcrawford: i think you need to add * at the end [13:28] jcrawford: fgrep -ri string *file [13:28] Dravekx: have you tried 'sudo apt-get install upstart'? [13:28] USH-6150: depends on a lot of things.. framebuffer has always been a pain. and getting the interface working in the framebuffer/mplayer can be a pain. [13:28] grep -ir "string" * [13:28] Tuju, It aint so complicated to allow users to run some commands. For example, if the user "blinkiz" should be able to shutdown the computer, you type in visudo as this: "blinkiz server.mydomain.com=/sbin/halt /sbin/reboot". You can add groups instead of the username as well. [13:28] Dr_Willis: maybe in the past the tv out wasn't as "driver fussy" as it appears now [13:28] Hi all, im looking for some kind of easy to use programm to manage my ipod toutch 1g. (running FW 3.0, Jailbroken) on my 9.10 ubuntu. im at a crap motell, and cant get i nett signal on ipod, so no ssh, and no virtuall box, any suggestions? /pm -Thanks [13:28] I want to report an Ubuntu bug via a website, not via some Ubuntu tool (as i don't have Ubuntu running). I do have a launchpad account [13:28] Ali_: I'm not sure, but it might require emulatino in order to convert marco's across to *nix I guess, but I haven't used it, otherwise, make a new macro [13:29] jcrawford: grep -i "STRING" `find . -name "*.txt" -print` is what i use [13:29] !ipod | concker [13:29] concker: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [13:29] llutz, i tried * and *.* and *.php [13:29] !launchpad > stelt [13:29] stelt, please see my private message [13:29] none of those would work for me :( [13:29] Tuju, I would like to find a guide for you, but I can't find anything. Try searching yourself for keywords like visudo, users, shutdown. It normally exist examples for the shutdown command that you can adapt to anything. [13:29] Tuju: there shouldn't be that much apps needing root-permissions to be run by users [13:29] micr0x, i will try emulatino but i cant make a new one - i have loads [13:29] dutchbuntu, that is ssh, witch i cant use, and its realy bad way to sync an ipod [13:29] blinkiz: i already decided that i'm not going to do it with sudo. [13:30] emulation* Ali_ ;) [13:30] frogzoo, that was not new to me [13:30] no wait * works but it searches all the css files can't have that :) [13:30] llutz: actually there are, quite many. like the one i'm developing. i don't care the rest. [13:30] Tuju, okay. Then just enable the root account on the machine. "passwd root". Then login directly as root. Done.. [13:30] oh drat micr0x - i didn't want to go back to ms word! [13:30] stelt: file your bug on launchpad.. [13:30] Hi all, im looking for some kind of easy to use programm to manage my ipod toutch 1g. (running FW 3.0, Jailbroken) on my 9.10 ubuntu. im at a crap motell, and cant get i nett signal on ipod, so no ssh, and no virtuall box, any suggestions? /pm -Thanks [13:30] Tuju: design-flaw ;) [13:30] llutz: yes, in ubuntu. [13:31] thanks jauntyjoe [13:31] Ali_: what are you trying to do? [13:31] blinkiz: in fedora and rhel there is no problem with this thing. you just make it to symlink to /usr/sbin/consolehelper. you're done. [13:31] as it turns out my drive is perfectly healthy and ext4 sucks [13:31] concker: the bot already told you a guide to follow [13:32] Tuju: security nightmare [13:32] hi.. i have a few systems on lan running 9.04.. i've already upgraded one of those to 9.10 and would like to upgrade rest of the systems too.. however i want to avoid redownloading all the packages.. how do i do this? [13:32] llutz: you mean the consolehelper has a security nightmare? [13:33] Tuju, Oh, I looked up consolehelper. You are talking about gui programs, right? [13:33] harsain: you could copy the packages to the download directory [13:33] skx: ext4 sucks? pls explain... i just installes ubuntu with ext4 for home and root [13:33] quase que eu conseguia compilar algo [13:33] blinkiz: it doesn't matter is it gui or not. [13:33] malice, which directory is that? var/cache/apt? [13:33] micr0x, as i said, that method is useless to me, since i cant use ssh, and ifuse dont seem to work [13:33] Tuju, okay [13:33] lol [13:34] Hi all. anyone have any experience with ktorrent 3.2.4 on 9.10? Everything was good with jaunty, but when I moved to karmic, setting a proxy when at a difference subnet became persistent. Proxy does not show in the ktorrent config dialogue, nor is it set in the Network Proxy dialogue. I have even un-installed and re-installed ktorrent. All other web related apps work fine. [13:34] parece que hoje entrei no irc errado [13:34] vsftpd gives me this error: update-rc.d: warning: vsftpd stop runlevel arguments (0 1 6) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (1) [13:34] then goto Ubuntu or their mailinglist and say: When installing the latest version of vsftpd, I'm getting this error (because the vsftpd init script hasn't been migrated to upstart. Please fix this. here's how I fixed it: $patch) [13:34] anyone know anything about clonezilla? [13:34] !es | osvaldo [13:34] osvaldo: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [13:34] concker: I don't think that's what the link mentioned.. ssh? not. [13:35] you can make clones of *zillas with it [13:35] Tuju, Well, if you like the way consolehelper works, you can always install it under Ubuntu. Just type "apt-get install usermode". Then man consolehelper to find the paths.. [13:35] and in french what is the canal ? [13:35] harsain: ah i'm not sure I'm looking it up now [13:35] scunizi: actually, it does (for the ipod touch) [13:35] blinkiz: i was actually planning to port it, but is that already included into usermode? [13:35] USH-6150: here is a script i found and used when i had a Radeon 9550 card. i named it movies and used it from terminal for tv out you may need to change ntsc to pal depending on where you are ./movies /path/to/name.avi i'm not sure it will work without xorg.conf but may be worth a try http://paste.ubuntu.com/317787/ [13:35] sorry [13:35] ok, what command replaced vol_id? [13:35] osvaldo: #ubuntu-cat [13:36] anyone here know about DDS server?? [13:36] blinkiz: that sounds better than expected.... [13:36] is there any nice command line vu meter? [13:36] Tuju, yes, it already exist and is pre configurated for Ubuntu. So its auto :) [13:36] i do not speak espanhol [13:36] dutchbuntu: I didn't know we could even deal with the touch at this point.. [13:36] legend2440: Cheers, I'll check it out :) [13:36] scunizi, i am trying to convert a ms word macro to openoffice and the msword macro says things like Selection.cut and Selection.paste etc [13:36] speaking of ipods, can anyone recommend a good portable jukebox that plays nicely with linux? [13:36] its protuguese my language [13:36] blinkiz: great. i'll use it. [13:36] "checking installation" goes to 128% [13:36] thanks [13:36] i'm sick of my expensive paperweight aka ipod classic [13:37] Tuju, Glad to be able to help :) [13:37] scunizi: not officially, no. it's unsupported and it *might* (sic) void your warranty [13:37] Ali_: ah.. macro's are a pain.. there's a lot of reading material on them on hte ooo website..

[15:09] Dutchbuntu: I'm still on 9.04, If I updated to 9.10 would that hopefully perhaps overwrite the problem? [15:09] ferraro: use rhythmbox [15:09] shivam, install kubuntu-desktop package [15:09] thanks om26er [15:09] !puregnome | shivam [15:09] shivam: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [15:10] iceroot, he wants to add kde not delete it [15:10] shivam: ah sorry, to kde [15:10] !purekde | shivam [15:10] shivam: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [15:10] Muse: I am reading old forum posts with similar problem (http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-501026.html). Bit scary stuff. Were you planning on doing a fresh install for 9.10? [15:10] K thanks, I'll try this [15:10] luke351: you cam is not there so i don't know what to say [15:10] Nope, Thought I just might upgrade, and then this problem came along and arr :( [15:10] before he can remove gnome he needs to install kde. don't confuse what he is asking to do what what he will need to do later [15:11] hmm. anybody here using evolution with exchange on Ubuntu 9.10? [15:11] Muse: is a fresh install an option for you? [15:11] Did the linux kernal or ubuntu re-vamp its memory management in Karmic? My memory usage is shockingly low, and I have a full development environment set up! [15:11] hmm perhaps. [15:11] i am using xubuntu9.10 [15:11] and if i reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source i get this --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/317861/ [15:11] I have a backup from a while ago I can get which isn't really too much of a prob. [15:11] i'm able to read my mails only via imap. i fail when attempting to set account as exchange/owa one. [15:12] I think I fed my system up :) [15:12] short stupid question, what does the 12ubuntu7 in the version of an package tells me? [15:12] Live CD works but when i install....it works but only untill I reboot, then i lose everything..mouse..network etc [15:12] is ubuntu 9.10 a beta? [15:12] sidney: no [15:12] sidney: no, its final [15:12] hi guys, a quick advice, which printer-scanner company are not compatible with linux? [15:12] it's to avoid to buy those ones... [15:12] Muse: we could try the rest of the forum post that I linked to, but I am not too sure. Sorry to tell you, but I'd feel more ccomfortable doing a fresh install if I were in your shoes. [15:12] ok thanks [15:12] I am still struggling with my 9.10 install continually freezing, requiring reboot, after about 20 minutes. I've set the latest intel graphics driver PPA into software sources, updated and reinstalled the driver, but it makes no difference. I've been struggling with this for several days now. [15:13] if anyone knows why bcmwl is broken in 9.10 let me know [15:13] to me it looks like exchange plugin is passing not domain\username for auth, but Name.Surname mailboxname and failing autentification because of that / unable to complete account setup [15:13] johe: the ubuntu7 part means the 7th patch ubuntu made to the package (as far as I know) [15:13] dutchbuntu: No probs, I think I will just backup and fresh install :) [15:13] Is there a way to fins out what kind of momory cards is used in the memory slots of the mobo. If there is single or double sided and so on?

[15:13] Valentina: dmidecode [15:13] davidkarr, unfortunately it seems a lot of things are broken in ubuntu 9.10 :( [15:13] Heya. Why doesn't this work in karmic? DISPLAY=:0 xterm; [15:14] with the new release of gnome/gtk/glib/gtkmm/glibmm what's the easiest way for me to upgrade to the new releases on 9.04? package manager says i have the latest, but it's not.. will i just have to build it all myself? [15:14] johe: good point, now I'm not sure [15:14] iceroot: Ok. [15:14] hi [15:14] or can i point to a different repo that will pick it up [15:14] Does anyone know if the bar at the top of the firefox window telling me that firefox needs to restarted is a firefox thing or part of the ubuntu firefox modifications plugin?

[15:16] bazhang: I'm not installing ubuntu. I am using karmic and I want to format my external hard disk for storing files so that windows xp can read it, too [15:16] hi [15:16] !extfs [15:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about extfs [15:17] is there anyway to force cake to save a record even if no field has changed [15:17] bazhang: but I odn't know which filesystems windows understands [15:17] !gparted | mahngiel [15:17] mahngiel: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program.

Is this a known problem? [15:17] boscop, shared between xp and ubuntu? ntfs then [15:17] blueskaj i'm trying to use gparted to make a ntfs partition [15:17] bazhang: I only know that it uses ntfs and cannot read ext3 [15:18] there still is nothing for the custom kernel for karmic on the array.org site. is array dead? [15:18] bazhang: ok [15:18] Moon_Doggy, so you're installing windows [15:18] Moon_Doggy, the live cd? [15:18] mahngiel: after you partition and install windows you will need to re-install grub see !grub for more info [15:18] IdleOne: installed, now what? [15:18] ok so I found the list of ubuntu mirrors I just need to know which file ubuntu server stores that setting locally [15:18] live cd yes [15:18] Moon_Doggy, ubuntu or gparted live cd [15:18] ubuntu [15:19] tonybibbs, you mean the sources list? [15:19] well i did a list on my usb and this is what i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/317866/ [15:19] bazhang: uh, yeah looks like it [15:19] tonybibbs, /etc/apt/sources.list [15:19] mahngiel: the Gparted Live cd is a better option in this case. you need to unmount to be able to make changes to the HD [15:19] and it shows my cam is connected [15:19] mahngiel: Gparted will be listed as partition editor in the System menu [15:19] HD is unmounted [15:20] gparted keeps giving me errors [15:20] IdleOne: so now i can reboot and create a new partition from the boot menu?? [15:20] mahngiel: no [15:20] \j #bmcwl [15:20] mahngiel: now you need to read the links ubottu sent you. [15:21] mahngiel: partitioning is easy to do but you can lose all your data if your not careful. [15:21] IdleOne: on it [15:21] om26er http://paste.ubuntu.com/317866/ [15:21] mahngiel: you may want to look at !home also [15:21] IdleOne: i think i get it. after i install windows, use my cd to reinstall grub, ya? [15:22] what is the command to format /mnt/hdc to ntfs from command line? [15:22] mahngiel: pretty much yup [15:22] om26er: http://paste.ubuntu.com/317866/ [15:22] ugh [15:22] IdleOne: ok. and this gparted will create a partition that i can install onto correct? [15:23] boscop, why do you need to do that? [15:23] http://pastebin.com//m58cccf8b [15:23] and this is my jockey log file when i try to activate the sta broadcom drivers --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/317873/ [15:23] this could get ugly [15:23] i'm kinda scared, someone wanna hold me? [15:23] mahngiel: yes [15:23] boscop: 1st umount it, 2nd install ntfsprogs, 3rd sudo mkfs.ntfs /dev/hdXY [15:23] :) [15:23] Younder: because there is an old ubuntu installation on it and I don't want it to show up in the boot screen because it's unbootable [15:24] be back, hopefully not TOO soon [15:24] Younder: I'd rather use it for storing other files [15:24] ok so you don't want ntfs you want ext3 [15:24] I feel he is about to jump in the pool before checking for water... [15:24] Everytime I log on to empathy, I have to reset my status. Is there a way to set my default status upon logging in, e.g., Away or Hidden? Thanks. [15:24] IdleOne: don't think, do! [15:25] llutz: :) [15:25] could it be that the 9.10 server kernel doesn't work with BCM4312 [15:25] Younder: ok [15:25] hey [15:25] I've setup a dualseat system [15:25] but when I hit enter on any keyboard, the X-screen of monitor0 moves [15:25] I am still struggling with my 9.10 install continually freezing, requiring reboot, after about 20 minutes. I've set the latest intel graphics driver PPA into software sources, updated and reinstalled the driver, but it makes no difference. I've been struggling with this for several days now. [15:26] anyone has a clue? [15:26] boscop, just to clarify; you wish to share this between xp and ubuntu, correct? [15:26] Boscop: how much disk space is available? [15:27] 9.10 live cd works great, but if i install...crashing , nothing works after reboot [15:27] Boscop: recovering old space coud be a problem. [15:27] bazhang: no, that's another disk (external). I will use ntfs for that [15:27] hi [15:27] Younder: 6 gb [15:27] is it possible to delete the system and places sections of the menu bar? [15:28] defect zope Package impossible to remove ! any clue [15:28] Boscop: that's tincy but suficcient to intsall ubuntu [15:28] ageeb: you could replace all 3 of the menus (they are handled by one panel widgit) with some alternatives. [15:28] installl [15:28] Younder: I already have an ubuntu installation! [15:28] Younder: that is an old one [15:28] dr_willis: i installed the the one that combines all three into 1 heading but i'm wondering if i can delete them from there also [15:29] ageeb: right click on panel -> add to panel -> main menu. to get just teh applications menu [15:29] Boscop: but it doesn't work right, You Do want a reinstall? [15:29] Younder: from when I only had that drive [15:29] ageeb: no idea on that one. proberly not. [15:29] dr_willis: notice 'system' and 'places' are in there as well [15:30] Younder: I want to format it in ext3 or something so I can use it to store other files [15:30] so my hash sum mismatch error is fixed. It was definitely a problem with us.archive.ubuntu.com. Do I need to report that anywhere? [15:30] hey [15:30] Younder: and that it doesn't show the broken old installation in boot screen [15:31] Boscop: fine, 6 Gb is cutting it a bit close though. [15:31] boscop: umount that partition and use "sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdXY" [15:31] im using gparted in ubuntu live cd to add an ext2 partition to my laptop HDD (which has win7 on also, plus some random acer partition). But when I add the ext3 partition, it leaves 2mb of unallocated space before it, any idea why? [15:31] Boscop: I am using 22 Gb [15:31] <_marix> anyone know if its possible to correct overscan issues in X11/gnome? [15:31] *ext2 [15:31] Younder: I know. but if it's there I want to use it [15:32] Boscop: Anyway you can free more disk space? [15:32] did i forget to do something with 'gparted' before i restarted? [15:32] _marix: custom resolution? [15:32] Younder: my main hard drive is 19 GB [15:32] Boscop: Preferably backing it up.. [15:33] <_marix> natewiebe13: might work [15:33] anyone? [15:33] Boscop: You have several hard drives? [15:33] random small gaps between partitions doesn't look right [15:33] Younder: my external drive is full [15:34] _marix: i use nvidia and last time i hooked up my computer to tv with hdmi, there were many resolutions and I just picked one that was just under 1080p and it worked [15:34] it just seems to leave 2mb of unallocated space before [15:34] Jmz: what partition is before it? [15:34] Boscop: what capasity is your external drive? [15:34] natewiebe13: its not, its after a windows partition [15:34] JmZ: that might happen, you cannot change it unless you delete all partitions and make them new after that [15:34] oh my bad natewiebe13 [15:34] read wrong [15:35] llutz: how come it happens? [15:35] does it matter? [15:35] Jmz: windows leaves 8mb unallocated after it, it probably has something to do with that [15:35] Younder: 160GB [15:35] is there any reason why live cd works but after installation nothing works [15:35] JmZ: partitions are not ending on sector-borders everytime [15:35] meh ill leave the gap then [15:35] Boscop: OK good sized [15:36] also [15:36] ext2 or ext3?

Does anyone know what I'm thinking of? [16:37] qdb: can you record sound? with sound recorder just to check your mic working? [16:37] qdb: look in the statusbar (the lower one) - does it show incoming and outgoing traffic? [16:37] yes [16:37] Hi guys, I've two network cards with two different ip's in my computer, is there how to bind a specific network card to a terminal and all programs running from there use it? [16:37] why does the upgrade to 9.10 suck so much for so many people [16:37] Is Automatix still around or has it been supplanted? [16:37] Ubuntu should stick to one version per year [16:37] this is retarded [16:37] i.e. A: 7.8/8.3 [16:37] forge_: it was supplanted the very moment it came out. don't use it. [16:37] status bar in ekiga? [16:38] now says user is not found [16:38] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/150440/ <-- This happens when installing nvidia-185-kernel-source [16:38] may be firewalled but test sound worked once with same iptables [16:38] NoiseEee: going per year is a very big thing to do and not that simple as you might think it is [16:38] and also conference room worked [16:38] forge_: Automatix received bad reviews and it was suggested to not use it [16:38] NoiseEee: It broke my headphones and my Japanese language support, fixing the audio problems was almost as simple as removing pulseaudio this time, except that the volume control in the panel was tied to it and they removed support for the alsa volume control panel applet. [16:39] qdb: hmm there is no traffic arriving from you... [16:39] (and the sound control panel also was tied to pulseaudio) [16:39] LjL: I had such fun with it "back in the day". A few clicks and my machine would have all the little toys I like with no need to search for them individualy. [16:39] there is sound, video, frames count in ekiga [16:39] om26er: im sure it is, but right now they're at 2 per year, are they not? [16:39] Japanese language support somehow got swapped out for Russian [16:39] in status bar below [16:39] om26er: at alsamixer...which column is the microphone? [16:39] and so I had to reconfigure that, but it wasn't as hard [16:39] NoiseEee: yes every six month [16:39] When I install the wireless icon ( Taskbar ) at the top is blanked out but if I install wireless pci driver by using nswrappers it works...someone said not to use nswrappers, could this be causing my crashes ? [16:39] qdb: whats the A: saying? [16:40] forge_: and additionally, you risked complete system breakage [16:40] i ll try flush output... [16:40] NoiseEee: and you can always make a clean install [16:40] what is a:? [16:40] om26er: way way way too much [16:40] I ended up rebuilding gnome-applets and gnome-media by hand [16:40] qdb: should be audio [16:40] om26er: but i have so many important things set up... drive mappings, databases [16:40] christaker: press tab to go to mic column [16:40] yheu all were near 0 [16:40] qdb: near?

[16:49] Dr_Willis: nope. it will get maybe 3-4 at most. its my "test" server [16:49] resno: doubt if it will matter much [16:49] om26er: the strange thing is that it just keeps asking me for my WEP key over and over. never connects. [16:49] om26er: so the card is detected [16:49] Hey, just for future reference, my problem with Wireless being slow is down to Network Manager and is fixed by installing wicd in synaptic, just in case someone has the same problen [16:49] resno: avoid installing useless desktop-stuff on server [16:50] om26er: but my 'wireless' button has no effect [16:50] where I can find support about a turnkey-linux redmine applicance?

With proper security settings users having access to the command line is not a security issue === KF5DUS is now known as _KF5DUS_ [17:08] aplications that require password to open i wan to disable password [17:08] om26er: by proper alterations to the sudoers file - is one way [17:08] Dr_Willis: it is in my system, since I am charging money to run applications === _KF5DUS_ is now known as TopherSPI [17:09] Dr_Willis: I dont want people running applications withought my permission [17:09] Hi there I'm stuck in Grub 2 command line sh:grub> .I have a fresh installation 9.1 Extended partition (hd0,5) for grub (hd0,6) for root (hd0,7) for home How I can boot? [17:09] amigojapan: time to read up/google on restricting shell accounts i guess then. So the users are just doing what exactly? sshing in? running X over xdmcp? vnc? [17:09] amigojapan: theres always chroot jails [17:10] Dr_Willis: I dont want to disclose all the details of my project, but I think you got the idea [17:10] I am using a Compaq C500 with Realtek ethernet card.

I just installed 9.10 and when I start my computer it just blinks like ... and wants me to login terminal way but only half of my keys get to the terminal [17:10] Dr_Willis: thanx [17:11] amigojapan: also check out 'rbash' (restricted bash) [17:11] Please help me [17:11] Hi there I'm stuck in Grub 2 command line sh:grub> .I have a fresh installation 9.1 Extended partition (hd0,5) for grub (hd0,6) for root (hd0,7) for home How I can boot? Plaesehelp me [17:12] Should I boot the live cd again and reinstall? [17:12] Dr_Willis: thanx, but I dont want my users to have access to any shell, only to the applications I willk serve them [17:12] studentz: you might want to use a live cd to boot, and chroot into the installed system and rerun update-grub [17:12] Please help.. Im totally unaware of what 2 do [17:12] !grub2 [17:12] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [17:13] i've been googling for about an hour.. is there a simple way to set up a peer to peer network in ubuntu? what is better also? nfs or samba? [17:13] can anyone help me with login problem in mysql i forgot my password?????? [17:13] Ok. It says, "Depends: sun-java6-bin (=6-15-1) but 6-16-0ubuntu1.9.04 is to be installed" any idea what that means? [17:13] bullkram: samba vs nfs - depens on your lan setup and OS's involved [17:13] 1 winxp and two ubuntus with a linksys router [17:14] bullkram: for a simple 2 pc network. install dhcpd on one and let it assign the ip's and plug everything in.. has worked for me befor [17:14] indian_munnda: you can google that one quite easily [17:14] check the wiki. [17:14] bullkram: then what to you mean by peer to peer network then? the router will do the dhcp stuff. [17:14] i have a bizarre problem [17:14] skinofstars11: will reinstall work in ubuntu for that? [17:14] bullkram: you can do nfs to the 2 linux box's if you wanted and samba to the windows machine. [17:14] no server [17:15] Dr_Willis Can I load the Kernell from grub command line It will be easy? But I don't know how? [17:15] so [17:15] does FGLRX work in karmic? [17:15] bullkram: clarify what you mean.. the desktop machines can work as a server.. [17:15] use samba and nfs? [17:15] bullkram use samba/CIFS its easier [17:15] jaunty play my 1080p movies well, but karmic has difficulties, huh [17:15] If ifconfig reports the interface exists, why am I not able to use ifup to bring it up? [17:15] indian_munnda: yeah, you could do a complete remove and reinstall, but i'm sure it is possible to reset. sure i've done it a couple of times before [17:15] studentz: if you knew all the names/paths yes.. but i dont know them.. which is why i suggested the live cd/chroot to 'fix' grub [17:15] i'm a bit of a noob.. only been ubuntuing for a month now [17:15] om26er: is there a way to paste in a terminal? [17:15] bullkram: nfs will be faster btween the 2 linux box's [17:15] Cant boot [17:15] "failed to load driver "nvidia" [17:16] bullkram: but samba will be needed for the windows machine [17:16] bullkram: samba is pretty easy and universal [17:16] bullkram: so it all depends on what you are doing with the network [17:16] allenbradley: if it's not confiugred in /etc/network/interfaces, ifup fails [17:16] How do I update driviers from within terminal? [17:16] Folks I have a single question. Doesn't the GNOME desktop read the .profile file to actually use the PATH when launching an application? I have a Java application I am trying to make a launcher for but it's not working. I can only start it from the terminal. [17:16] bullkram: i network several ubuntus with samba [17:17] om26er: http://imagebin.org/71546 [17:17] i have a desktop ubuntu with all my music files.. a ubuntu netbook and a desktop xp pc. would like to share my music files over the network to both computers [17:17] Boggie: you could always write a script that launches it with the full/proper paths. then make a launcher that runs that script. [17:17] Boggie, did u package it into jar? jars use relative paths and are self contained [17:17] sigh [17:17] llutz: One second, I'll check it [17:17] well it's Eclipse i'm trying to launch [17:17] bullkram: for simple things like that. samba can do it find [17:17] om26er: This happens relatively often, but only with that progrma (DownTHemAll, some plugin for firefox). [17:17] my laptop's internal optical drive is reading wrong data but not getting an error [17:17] bullkram: just use samba [17:17] k... install from repo or command line? [17:18] bullkram: for transfering HUGE files and lots of them. NFS will be faster for the linux->linux machines.. but you dont have that problem [17:18] Dr Willis - Yes I know them (hd0,5) = dev/sda5 partition for grub,(hd0,6) = dev/sda6 for root, (hd0,7)= dev/sda7 for home [17:18] !samba | bullkram [17:18] bullkram: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

I need the space [17:21] I bought a new sata2 hard disk, how can I create a partition on it? [17:21] mikebot: i dont use them - last i saw one was a few years back. I know they exist. Check the package manager/google [17:21] jolaren: sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade [17:21] I don't know where it is, it's not /dev/sda or /dev/sdb... [17:21] csaba: sudo fdisk -l [17:22] Dr_Willis: OK, thanks. What about that display error? [17:22] mikebot: why is what happening?? [17:22] ok si I got this [17:22] Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table [17:22] allenbradley: is networkmanager using the device? [17:22] csaba: you perhaps mean /dev/sdb1 [17:23] csaba: so sdb seems to be the one to partition [17:23] I have ubuntu 9.04 installed with wubi installer, and I only invested 8 gigs.

[17:23] hello! u know of a damn tiny http or ftp server which runs under ubuntu and is NOT installed but a user can just run from his compile directory? [17:23] yes it's a totally new ahrd disk [17:23] csaba: actually on a NEW unpartitioned disk. you fdisk it first.. then format the partitions [17:23] csaba: sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb [17:23] csaba: use fdisk/gparted [17:23] Dr_Willis: http://imagebin.org/71546 [17:23] thanks [17:23] what mode should I set to a tmpfs in fstab so that anyone can modify it without sudo? [17:23] mikebot: and whats the problem with it? [17:23] Dr_Willis: That program sometimes gets frozen like that, and is displayed like that even when it is closed, and nothing can be on top of it [17:24] should it be primary or logical ? [17:24] csaba: i use primaries unless you need more then 4 parittions [17:24] csaba: doesn't matter [17:24] I want just one partition [17:24] ok thanks [17:24] tfk: there is a gnome applet for that [17:24] csaba: primary is fine then [17:24] is there anywhere in the system where the kernel will store log info from a panic - something that can be read on the next reboot I mean ?

[17:45] domedagen: yes that message was meant to go someother way [17:45] fahadsadah, and now? [17:46] I believe that's supported out of the box. [17:46] I'm checking for you now. [17:46] Flootenkerp, have you tried booting from the live cd and using gparted to expand the partition? [17:46] No, it's not fahadsadah [17:46] I can tell you that right now [17:46] I'm not using a 56k modem [17:46] ZoeyMarie, try this tutorial , it's very comprehensive http://techie-buzz.com/linux-tips/generate-a-sources-list-with-the-ubuntu-sources-list-generator.html [17:46] dmc123: does hardware drivers show anything? [17:46] My ISP isn't down [17:47] om26er I'm going for Contents. Which me good luck. My weekend depends on this [17:47] dmc123: A tshark trace would be very helpful. [17:47] allenbradley: paste your /etc/network/interfaces please [17:47] Please sudo aptitude install tshark [17:47] There's a php bug in PHP 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.7 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 on Ubuntu 8.04.3 [17:47] domedagen: good luck [17:47] fahadsadah, no [17:47] BluesKaj: I'll try that, thanks. [17:47] fahadsadah, it's gonna take 40 megs to download [17:48] jauntyjoe no I haven't, I don't use a cd [17:48] fahadsadah, with the current connection, that'll take a week [17:48] !paste | allenbradley [17:48] allenbradley: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com (or !pastebinit for CLI) | For pasting !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin Please give us the URLs for your posts! [17:48] om26er it wasn't much help but thanks for trying [17:48] dmc123: OK, I'll give you a direct link to the package [17:48] Flootenkerp, there's also a live cd for gparted [17:48] domedagen: i really never got into not having password [17:48] And what's a direct link gonna do, fahadsadah? [17:48] Which you can download on a computer with usable internet, and then transfer by memory stick/network [17:48] llutz: http://pastebin.com/d133b197d [17:49] I can't download it anyway [17:49] I have no access to another computer [17:49] Flootenkerp, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [17:49] How are you talking now? [17:49] What would i use to make gui applications in linux? what code? [17:49] Through my Ubuntu PC [17:49] om26er: bye! Disc ready in 6:30 sec [17:49] I got supported webcam and audio and microphone but I can't use videocalling on Empathy,what's wrong?I checked the readme too [17:49] DVA5912: Any language. [17:49] For GUI, look up GTK. [17:49] It's not a language [17:50] Just a GUI framework. [17:50] fahadsadah? [17:50] ok, if i go C .... Thank you thats what i was looking for. fahadsadah [17:50] Zsoci: the person on the other end should have a web cam [17:50] dmc123: What kind of ping results do you get from google.com? [17:50] DVA5912: use quickly [17:50] BluesKaj: should I do the "sources" repos as well? [17:50] dmc123: I have never seen any Internet Protocol networking problem with any GNU/Linux, including Ubuntu, as far as I can remember in the past decade that was not a configuration issue. Some wireless things are not implemented for some cards. Ethernet has always been stable. So if you are having a problem on your Ubuntu box, it is likely configuration. I don't know what might make it slow though. Is something consuming CPU? What ethernet card d [17:50] ola [17:50] jauntyjoe, what is that about? How is it supposed to give my ubuntu space from another partition? [17:50] perdon [17:50] Tartaros, why? [17:50] AI ALGIEN [17:50] usuario_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:50] AKI KE [17:50] ABLE [17:50] Zsoci: and if he is using pidgin or empathy then you can make video call without problem [17:50] allenbradley: it's ok. sorry no idea then, why ifup won't bring it up [17:50] DVA5912: also, there's a channel for that here :) #quickly [17:51] Ubuntu has been nothing but trouble ever since I put it in [17:51] Nothing works [17:51] Tartaros, ohh... its a framwork too? [17:51] llutz: Thanks anyways [17:51] ZoeyMarie, yes here http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [17:51] The programs are yucky and primitive, 50% of drivers don't work [17:51] dmc123: what is not working except for the etherent [17:51] lspci is not identifying my network card, anyone have an idea how I can find it? [17:51] DVA5912: the reason is that quickly is a project aimed at new developers who want to make an ubuntu application [17:51] dmc123: if you are not specific, we can't help [17:51] php5 needs an upgrade on ubuntu 8.04.3: http://paste.ubuntu.com/317992/ [17:52] You don't help anyway [17:52] #ubuntu [17:52] juhm: not sure he wants help [17:52] navatwo: is it PCI? or USB? lsusb [17:52] Tartaros, its feature lacking right? I couldent go full screen with it could i? [17:52] You're all too busy being l33t [17:52] Flootenkerp, you use it to resize the partitions to your required sizes [17:52] dmc123: Please ping google.com, and give me some latency times? [17:52] juhm: its pci [17:52] DVA5912: it's a cli application with tutorials etc. It's not a framework, just a helper application that will make it easy to develop an application. Currently it can help you kickstart a python/gtk application [17:52] Tartaros, i need to totaly hid the user desktop and display my app [17:52] oh, I already have that [17:52] BluesKaj: Yeah, that's the page I'm on, I was just wondering if I install the first box for each one, or the first and second (sources) boxes. [17:52] But I'm not sure how to use it jauntyjoe [17:53] navatwo: lsmod? [17:53] dmc123: Also, we are not being paid to make Ubuntu. We are not being paid to support Ubuntu. [17:53] anyone has an idea why I cant upgrade kernels on a VPS from serveraxis? [17:53] If you don't like it, don't use it. [17:53] How to run a program as a specified user in ubuntu? Thanks. [17:53] that's the spirit [17:53] You can't complain and ask for a refund. [17:53] lao5: sudo -i -u username program [17:53] juhm: what am I looking for in this? [17:53] lao5: sudo & similar. [17:53] You'll be asked for _your_ password, not theirs. [17:53] nothing screams ethernet :s [17:53] DVA5912: I don't know about that. I suppose gtk is capable of that. If you want something really different from normal GUIs, like a game for example, I'd suggest pygame. You can probably still go with quickly. [17:54] fahadsadah&juhm: thanks. [17:54] If you don't have admin, but do have their password, use [17:54] su - username [17:54] command [17:54] So Linux is above criticism? [17:54] What a joke [17:54] lao5: You're welcome. [17:54] pls kick that troll [17:54] Guys, I just realized that my problem is more serious... I actually solved the problem with the live cd, but when i restarted the laptop, the MBR was cleaned again... Everytime i restart the computer it seems that i lose the MBR... :O WHat should i do?? I can fix it with the live cd and restart it once, but if i restart it again the boot list disapears... :S [17:54] dmc123: quit trolling. [17:54] Flootenkerp, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/docs/help-manual/C/gparted_manual.html#gparted-advanced-partition-actions [17:54] anyone has an idea why I cant upgrade kernels on a VPS from serveraxis?? [17:54] dmc123: do you know what linux is? [17:54] dmc123: One second [17:55] dmc123: be constructive or leave [17:55] dmc123: theys chaps are trying to help you... eith follow their advice or go elsewhere with your moaning... [17:55] dmc123: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [17:55] om26er, a kernel from which operating system components are built [17:55] juhm: there does not appear to be anything there relative to the network card. === chaky_ is now known as chaky [17:55] hello. i need to add “acpi_backlight=vendor” to my /etc/default/boot but I haven't that file :( I am using Ubuntu 9.10. Please help! [17:55] navatwo: lsmod gives less descriptive names. You can use process of elimination to find your card. Yes if a module were loaded, the card would be present. [17:55] dmc123: what's a kernel? [17:56] jauntyjoe, this seems a little dangerous. If I screw anything up, I won't be able to boot anymore. Could you help me out so I don't screw anything up? [17:56] In vi, if I want to replace any double-parentheses with a single set (ie: "((this stuff))" => "(this stuff)"), would the proper command for that be: %s/\(\((.*)\)\)/($1)/g ? [17:56] dmc123: the whole idea behind linux and open source pretty much makes it open to criticism [17:56] navatwo: what interfaces shown in 'ip addr'? [17:56] !list [17:56] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [17:56] * om26er says now googling what is kernel? [17:57] juhm: there isnt one [17:57] dmc123: You don't like our work? Don't use it. [17:57] As the page I linked you to says, linux is not Windows. [17:57] Windows is designed to make a profit. [17:57] Flootenkerp, maybe there's an easier way to solve the problem. why do you need more than 8 GB for ubuntu? [17:57] They profit, then they don't care about anything else. [17:57] navatwo: does it not at least show 'lo'? [17:58] lo? [17:58] jauntyjoe: you don't . 4GB suffices [17:58] linux in general is made by the users [17:58] hello. i need to add “acpi_backlight=vendor” to my /etc/default/boot but I haven't that file :( I am using Ubuntu 9.10. Please help! [17:58] Does anyone know if I need to include source repos to get them to work, or only if I want to do development? [17:58] They make it so they have an OS to use [17:58] Not to make a profit [17:58] jauntyjoe, because it's better then vista, and viasta won't work anymore so I need ubuntu to be my main OS [17:58] hey guys i cant seem to get my head around this. im trying to use grep to find all html hyper references in a text document ( ) how can i do this with a backreference? [17:58] navatwo: 'lo' is the loopback network interface. it should always be present & seen as a result of 'ip link' [17:58] juhm: there are ip_table* shown [17:59] I don't like vista but windows 7 seems pretty good... except it can't detect any of my hardware right... [17:59] There is no other ip stuff shown other than the ip_tables [17:59] it's like having a linux 10 years ago [18:00] navatwo: not in lsmod. run the program 'ip' with parameter 'link' [18:00] I'm tempted to just reinstall :p [18:00] okay [18:00] juhm: what am I lookig for? [18:00] did you do an install or upgrade or what? [18:00] install [18:01] ubuntu forced me to reinstall :< [18:01] look for your network interfaces. 1 is lo. what are the others? [18:01] Flootenkerp, i'm assuming you need the extra space for data. do you have another partition on the drive that you could use - like a D: drive in windows? [18:01] Ubuntu cured my dogs blindness! its true! [18:01] Guys, I just realized that my problem is more serious... I actually solved the problem with the live cd, but when i restarted the laptop, the MBR was cleaned again... Everytime i restart the computer it seems that i lose the MBR... :O WHat should i do?? I can fix it with the live cd and restart it once, but if i restart it again the boot list disapears... :S [18:01] :) === yoasif_ is now known as yoasif [18:01] navatwo: are you chatting from your Ubuntu box that has the trouble? [18:01] Look, guys, I'm sorry [18:01] Yes jauntyjoe [18:01] juhm: wmaster0, wlan0, pan0 [18:01] I'm not trolling [18:01] I'm just reaaaaaaally frustrated [18:01] How would I change it to use that drive? [18:01] juhm: no, I don't have wireless here [18:01] hey guys i cant seem to get my head around this. im trying to use grep to find all html hyper references in a text document ( ) how can i do this with a backreference? [18:02] !troll [18:02] trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [18:02] delkin: Thats... weird. checkyour bios make sure theres no 'virus protection' enabled that may be restoreing your MBR.

[18:03] navatwo: it shows your wireless card. [18:03] mikehk: ive seen examples of doing that in perl code. perhaps some grep 'examples' web pages may show the proper way to do it with grep. I always cheat and look for examples. :) [18:03] yes, juhm but not my ethernet card [18:03] what can i do about that in evolution? http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/544/13664299.png [18:04] I wonder. I say. I wonder... why are all my PCI devices at 66mhz? GeForce 8200 [18:04] Dr_Willis, i'll take a look [18:04] I thought it would be 1066? [18:04] Like the battle of Hastings?

[18:24] what is the name of the window manager so that i can maybe restart it [18:24] grendal_prime: its best to just ask the actual question - not ask for 'experts' [18:24] Dr_Willis: yeah thats for the server [18:24] i mean the name of the binary [18:24] Dr_Willis: The other is for the client [18:24] i've tried to just restart gdm and that seems to not be doing it [18:24] Greek-Boy: i got both installed on all 3 of my machines.. :) [18:24] Dr_Willis : any idea what I can do to get rid of the black screen on bootup. I get a flashing cursor _ . [18:25] Anyone know anything about cups printserver? [18:25] zap85: not really - if you dont even have a grub menu show up. perhaps reinstall grub. [18:25] Greek-Boy: you mean portmap [18:25] llutz: I have portmap too [18:25] needing su password to mount disks - isn't that a bug/regression in karmic? [18:25] Guest3715: what is the problem? [18:25] !nfs [18:25] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. === diego is now known as Guest14257 [18:25] !cups [18:25] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [18:25] hello [18:26] Tartaros: use the ntfs-config tool. or make proper fstab entries for the disks is one way around it. === malnilion__ is now known as malnilion [18:26] oh wow. I just got hit by the old nvidia black window bug!?! I've opened yet another program, and when I maximize its window, it goes black, restore it back down and the content is there. repeat with same effect... [18:26] Dr_Willis : I have grub showing up after I choose to start ubuntu. I see the black screen. [18:26] cupsys not on my system [18:26] Dr_Willis: sorry but ive been looking all over this help with this... but ok Basically i cannot get networkmanager to recognize the fact that i have vpn plugins installed in it. No plugins show so the Add Button is greyed out. [18:26] not sure why but cant restart it without it [18:26] i am a problem witch login screen in ubuntu, after update (pre-released updates) no login screen, need to type startx to run GUI [18:26] zap85: boot to rescue/recovery mode see if you get a console login - that will make trouble shooting easier [18:26] hi everyone... i think i'm logged in somewhere else on my network through NIS... how can i tell which machine i'm logged into? [18:26] Guest3715: install cups then check those links. make sure your printer is supported [18:27] i have it installed [18:27] daniftodi: make sure gdm is installed [18:27] Dr_Willis: yeah but is it considered a bug? i.e. is there a fix coming up sometime? [18:27] Tartaros: it asks for the admin password as a security feature. Not a bug. === Guest3715 is now known as JaredJ [18:27] Tartaros: befor it would just give an error i thought.. depending on the filesystem, === JaredJ is now known as Jared_J [18:28] Dr_Willis: no. before, it worked without asking === Jared_J is now known as Jared_Guest [18:28] Tartaros: depends on what filesystem and how the disk manager stuff was configured [18:28] for ntfs - install/run the ntfs-config tool and enable it how you want. [18:28] Dr_Willis: well it might depend on that, but I'm talking default jaunty configuration :) [18:29] it says do /etc/init.d/cupsys but when I do that I can the message that there is no cupsys [18:29] a lot of subsystems have been changed in 9.10 [18:29] I am running version 1.4.1 of cups [18:30] Jared_Guest: sudo service cups start [18:30] ok thanks [18:30] dont use the init.d/whatever stuff if you can avoide it [18:30] init.d/whatever is slowly getting phased out [18:30] does ubuntu have any mac osx desktop widgit apps for install???? [18:30] what is the latest irc program for ubuntu? [18:30] Dr_Willis: yeah I know all I want to know is if I should try to workaround this problem or wait for a fix [18:30] the stable one [18:30] AyCarumba: clarify what you are looking for exactly [18:31] cool_away: xchat and irssi are good clients [18:31] Tartaros: theres no fix - its a security feature as far as i know. [18:31] how about BitchX? [18:31] Tartaros: if you are wanting all users to have full access to external/inbternal ntfs - use the ntfs-config tool. or add a entry to fstab [18:31] C00l_AWAY: whatever the supported Im client is. In 9.10 the default is Empathy, previously Pidgin. [18:31] Dr_Willis: ok [18:31] C00l_AWAY: that is in no way the 'latest' [18:31] any reason why the wireless option is grayed out...when i run lsphi it says unclaimed but gives the rest of the info [18:31] C00l_AWAY: i like 'weechat' [18:32] weechat? [18:32] dr_willis: like the panel thing that brings up app icons and widgits for desktop like windows vista had?? [18:32] C00l_AWAY: thats the name [18:32] Dr_Willis: umm... I have no ntfs-config thingy [18:32] AyCarumba: theres dozens of ways to get widgets and gizmos [18:32] Dr_Willis: nor do I see it in synaptic [18:32] ok, i'm now to a state where i think i know what is going on (yay?)

[18:33] similar to if you kill kicker in kde [18:33] dr_willis: like analog clock and calander and temp, [18:33] AyCarumba: dozen of ways of doing that. [18:33] or should i be in a server help channel? [18:33] AyCarumba: there seveal nice clocks in the repos/package manager [18:33] anyone know how i can start gnome from the commandline? [18:33] maybe startx gnome [18:33] AyCarumba: click on the gnome time in the panel for a calander. :) [18:33] X is already running === Jared is now known as Jared_Gust [18:33] From single-user mode? Try startx, it should ... oh [18:34] kill x first? [18:34] AyCarumba: theres google gizmos you can use. or opera widgits. or other ones in the repos also. [18:34] cntrl-alt-f12 [18:34] mick_laptop: Maybe kill it first, or something like that. [18:34] anti_theocon: if i stop X then i will not be able to see anything [18:34] How would you kill x? [18:34] AyCarumba: or check out conky and make ones how you like [18:34] You will go back to the command line... [18:34] you should have a command propmpt on another virtual desktop, if not on the same one [18:34] there is a way to switch WMs -- i've done it before (just can't remember how to do it) [18:35] someone help me [18:35] mick_laptop: gdm login screen has a menu [18:35] my ubuntu netbook remix is broken [18:35] i cant click anything [18:35] mick_laptop: For some WMs: windowmanagername --replace [18:35] but "shut down" [18:35] mick_laptop: depeneind on what wm's you got installed [18:35] mick_laptop: For others - just kill the existing one.

[18:36] C00l_AWAY: check your package manager [18:36] Dr_Willis: i have 2 monitors and the primary doesn't work -- gdm's menu (even if i configured it to display) -- would not come on teh second display [18:36] C00l_AWAY: i use the 3.0 version i compiled from source [18:36] mick_laptop: i ran sudo nvidia-settings and set the proper primary monitor checkbox. and gdm went to the right monitor afte4r that. [18:36] well i have the remix -- so there is gnome on it and the other netbook one (which i don't know the name of) [18:36] hey guys... is anyone having issues with icons not being rendered on the desktop until a restart of x or reboot? [18:37] coz_: ive seen people with compiz issues that have a similer problem [18:37] I've upgraded to KARMIC! [18:37] coz_: perhaps disable compiz? [18:37] hey, what's crakcing ! [18:37] hi there [18:37] Dr_Willis, I can try but this being a compiz issue seems out in left field but I will try now :) [18:37] user_, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_cracking [18:38] anyone can help me? [18:38] coz_: ive seen weirder compiz weirdness. :) [18:38] Hi .. how do I install Ubuntu alongside Windows ? [18:38] Dr_Willis, no its not compiz [18:38] got it ! [18:38] gdm is installed [18:38] Zsoci: state the question and see. [18:38] loopback technique [18:38] vista or xp? [18:38] anti_theocon: geos! [18:38] cuz if it's vista, you're gonna have to do some preps [18:38] Dr_Willis, with or with or without compiz running the desktop stuf is still not rendering and I am generally referring to icons that are made and save to the desktop :) [18:39] i am a problem witch login screen in ubuntu, after update (pre-released updates) no login screen, need to type startx to run GUI [18:39] How do I edit GDM in 9.10? [18:39] coz_: not seen that issue then. :) seen several other people with totally black desktop/menus that had to disable compiz [18:39] Delano: short answer. You dont. [18:39] codeswing: you make some room for it on the disk, then you make an ubuntu installer usb thingy, then you install [18:39] I GOT INTERNET WORKING ON UBNTU!!!!!!!!! [18:39] How did you get it working ? [18:39] Delano: theres getting to be some themes/tweaks for it but its not as tweakable as 9.04 yet. [18:40] Anyone here used nomachine.com's software? What do you think? good? [18:40] Tartaros: i did not get it .. [18:40] I used NDiswrapper and got drivers [18:40] JREAM: good job! [18:40] codeswing: not get what exactly? [18:40] how start login screen on boot ? [18:40] Dr_Willis, issues like this are generally not associtated with compiz as much as the DE not rendering properly [18:40] vista is sort of stingy about arranging it's files where you can have a nice partition [18:40] thaks :) now i can play with ubuntu more :D [18:40] I have installed ubuntu on another partition and is able to dual boot [18:40] yes, it works like that for me 2 but...it crashes [18:40] Dr_Willis, that sucks... so I can't install a new GDM theme? [18:40] JREAM: I feel your excitement... I've successfully upgraded UBUNTU from Breezy 5.10 -> KARMIC over SSH =) [18:40] but today my friend said he installed ubuntu alongside of windows [18:40] codeswing: good for you. So what do you need now/ [18:40] Delano: old themes dont work [18:40] i would not do it again [18:40] Hey all: Anyone know how to run a script on login from the command line? I know how to do it after a graphical login, but not on console login. [18:40] I did not get that [18:40] Ah, thanks Dr_Willis [18:40] hey guys, i only have about 20 mins before I have to leave. I need to get my wifi going, headed on vacation. i just bought a new laptop, running ubuntu studio. i havent used 9.10 yet, did they change the way to look for access points? [18:40] AWESOME haha, :D :D [18:40] Alestan: depends on what you want it to do. [18:41] Tartaros: he says he has used loopback FS technique [18:41] codeswing: please start making sense [18:41] Alestan: for a user? after boot up befor login? after a specifi cuser logs in? [18:41] do you know about htat [18:41] I use 64bit ubuntu and want to make videocalling with Empathy to msn,but I see only empty fields in the menu,both of us have system with working audio/video system,what's wrong? [18:41] Nswrappers are making my system crash.. [18:41] After login, no graphical shell [18:42] Alestan: put it into ~/.profile [18:42] alestan i am similar problem [18:42] Zsoci: try aMSN//próbáld aMSN-nel :D [18:42] scripts in ~/.profile get run on startup?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [18:43] Yup, okay, got it. [18:43] codeswing: yeah leave the channel that will help you [18:43] 'new' >:) [18:43] Alestan: Unless you meant actually copying them from an Ubuntu box to the iPhone. [18:43] MenZa, is asking for an app offtopi??? [18:43] Tartaros: I mean .. is there any new technique supported by ubuntu which allows installing ubuntu along side of windows [18:43] offtopic? [18:43] Alestan: Then no. I suggest using Google Contacts and Google Sync. [18:43] Alestan: http://m.google.com/sync - have a look there. [18:43] codeswing: yes. Wubi. [18:44] Alestan: I've battled with this many a time, and that's what I've come up with. [18:44] Wubi [18:44] codeswing: wubi, dual boot, or run in virtualbox. are common i HATE wubi. :) [18:44] What is taht [18:44] Thanks! [18:44] !wubi [18:44] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [18:44] codeswing: do a normal install or try virtualbox - is my suggestions === ron is now known as satmonster [18:44] hi [18:44] Dr_Willis: but how can I use wubi.. does performance is slow [18:45] yep, wubi is untrustable. if this makes any sense. :D [18:45] ja,csak az amsn-nek meg kiírja hogy:Hang- vagy videóhíváshoz a farsight2 szükséges. Telepítsd, és próbáld meg újra [18:45] codeswing: but having a normal installation on a separate disk partition is still the best way, so since you already have that, just keep it. [18:45] ;-) [18:45] how do i make dpkg --configure -a use a specific kernel version? Please help. [18:45] codeswing: pop in cd.. run the wubi installer.. have fun.. good luck., and if it breaks.. well.. good luckj finding anyone who uses it [18:45] help please to make work login screen [18:45] I need to get my widescreen dell laptop using the intel915 driver to use 1440x900 resolution [18:45] codeswing: id suggest trying ubuntu in virtualbox over wubi any day [18:46] while i was checking the UNR wiki - i found the answer to my problem (indirectly) [18:46] \join #UBUNTUFR [18:46] Dr_Willis: virtualbox is slower option [18:46] i ran desktop-switcher [18:46] Exophonix: /join #ubuntu-fr :) [18:46] I don't like virtual box option .. wubi looks interesting [18:46] codeswing: so. its easier to trouble shoot. If you want best speeds. do a normal install. [18:46] How do I make Ubuntu start up with a permanent, static IP address in 9.10? [18:46] Hei ! Solved my problem ! [18:46] does anyone have a resource for webcam installation? [18:46] this way i was able to bring up the rest of the panels etc. [18:46] codeswing: its amazing the # of people i see in here a week with wubi issues/problems./and disasters :) good luck [18:46] kriston: disable networkmanager, setup /etc/network/interfaces [18:47] apparently when you switch the languages it seems to be a bit buggy and not bring everything back [18:47] hmm [18:47] llutz: Okay, still like that? I thot there was a more good way === kdub is now known as kdubois [18:47] codeswing - wubi is not a VM [18:47] it installs ubuntu in windows however you can't run ubuntu under windows as you can with VM [18:48] hi folks! i have a special problem with GRUB and windows 7. it would be great if somebody could help me! [18:48] satmonster: depends on the webcam model [18:48] L8rs [18:48] you will need to reboot as if you istalled ubuntu directly [18:48] does anyone has ubuntu installed on the acer 11.6" atom laptop [18:48] codeswing: wubi uses a virtual drive/filesystem in a file on the windows hard drive also. that can be slower [18:48] satmonster: with many you just need v4l and you can test with vlc [18:48] ya un , lien pour le salon french svp merci [18:48] Hi.. anyone know how i can set dubbel-click on my mouse, so it can copy/paste [18:49] llutz, doesn't the router still do dynamic IP on the internet side? [18:49] !fr > doutix89 [18:49] Juli___: what seems to be the problem? [18:49] doutix89, please see my private message [18:49] doutix89 ??? [18:49] Ah, beat me to it, phil_fl :) [18:49] Dr_Willis: still don't have ntfs-config in synaptic, but apt-get install worked... how could that be possible? :) [18:49] mick laptop - ok it's one of those Ezonics brand (walmart special) [18:49] <_marix> hmm, i have a weird white filled rectangle popping up while the gnome desktop is loading, anyone seen this before and remember what was creating it? for a vid of the bootup http://oxygen.bsnet.se/~marix/htpc_startup.avi (71MB thou) [18:49] Tartaros: no idea. spelliong it wrong perhaps [18:49] anyone able to help with resolution? [18:49] Dr_Willis: how is wubi different than FUSe [18:49] icedwater, yeah this one language was easy to guess :-) [18:50] Dr_Willis: am just typing "ntfs" in the search thingy [18:50] codeswing: about like how a dos floppy is different from a... lear jet... [18:50] codeswing: what is FUSe [18:50] BluesKaj: sure [18:50] codeswing: fuse is a specific tool for allowing user controll of filesyste,s in user space.. Nothing to do wioth WUBI. [18:50] !fuse [18:50] FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [18:50] To be sure, I was going to use | but > is probably a better option. [18:50] llutz, and you have to pay extra for a static IP ? [18:50] BluesKaj: you only can set static IP for your LAN (or pay your ISP for one too) [18:51] right [18:51] Some ISPs already give static IPs... [18:51] icedwater I use | when I'm unsure of language, otherwise > do it and reduce the "noise" [18:51] or they give Long leases :) [18:51] BluesKaj: but if one asks here for staticIP, i read it as LAN-ip [18:51] my ip keep changing all the time [18:51] mick - is vlc already loaded? [18:51] Mine change about onvce a month [18:51] grawity: or dhcp with extreme long leasetimes [18:51] if u have static ip is not reverse [18:51] llutz, ok , understood [18:51] alright, I'm on ubuntu 9.04 and I'm trying to install glib. it's not in the package list, any idea how to get/install glib? thanks :x [18:52] Tartaros, if you use "Search" instead of "quick search" in synaptic - ntfs-config is there. just an FYI, i NEVER use the QuickSearch - doesn't find nearly as much for some reason [18:52] it is kind of embarissing: i installed ubuntu, but never used it. so i wanted to boot win directly. -> i deleted the ubuntu partion with computer administration of win7.. and now at start "grub error" besause the partion is missing .. [18:52] my IP changes every 72 hrs [18:52] Juli___: start windows-cd, fixboot/fixmbr [18:52] GodFather: try apt-get install glib6 [18:52] Juli___: reinstall the windows boot loader/mbr with your windoes cd [18:52] llutz: Counts as "static" I guess. OTOH, my rDNS says ".static.(isp).lt", but it does change every 6 months or so. [18:53] ZykoticK9: hmm you're right. that's pretty stupid. === ryu2 is now known as ryu [18:53] trying to share a folder with another computer but can't figure it out. where do I start? [18:53] BA^: windows or linux machines?> [18:53] phil_fl, coudnt find package [18:53] grawity: mine at home changes only if i disconnect the router for >10minutes. but since there are dyndns etc., who cares [18:53] i'm on jaunty trying to share w/ vista laptop [18:54] BA^: install samba pacakge. the right click on a folder. -> shareing and set it how ya want. [18:54] codeswing: just keep what you have, wubi or anything else means you're asking for problems. [18:54] BA^: youi may want to edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf to set the proper workgroup also [18:54] Dr_Willis: what about linux-linux sharing? [18:54] From which Ubuntu version .. Wubi got introduced [18:54] Dr_Willis: is there an alternative to samba? [18:54] Znupi: nfs, sshfs, samba, or other ways [18:54] Znupi: 4+ other ways [18:54] hi all,I am having problems watching video,this is a new install on a diff video card and i think thats the issue how can i find out for sure [18:54] when i am booting with windows cd, i am directly in the setup. there is "recovery" but i tried all of that it hasn't worked [18:54] Tartaros: yeah sure.. I would have considered wubi for my next install [18:55] i did that but my vista laptop can't access my linux box so i think i must have something wrong or need more networking stuff configured [18:55] how do i access fixboot? [18:55] Juli___: check in #windows they may know [18:55] but as you are saying I will not try to try that [18:55] Znupi, use opendns for linux to linux [18:55] Dr_Willis: I know about sshfs, but that usually makes you share everything, it's hard to just share one-two folders [18:55] Juli___: fixmbr will do it [18:55] how do i import better filters to adblock? [18:55] Dr_Willis: from which Ubuntu version Wubi got introduced [18:55] mgv2: Create your own filters. [18:55] sorry Znupi , openssh rather [18:55] Znupi: err.. sshfs can mount specific directories/paths.. not eveyrthing [18:55] how do i access fixmbr? [18:55] codeswing: no idea. [18:55] mgv2: Btw, is it AdblockPlus, or the old Adblok? [18:55] codeswing: yeah, well, don't :) [18:55] codeswing: 2 or 3 releases ago [18:55] Juli___: recovery-console from win-cd [18:55] my filters cover mine pretty good [18:56] Dr_Willis: yes, you can mount a specific directory from a client, but from a "host", you can't share *just* a folder [18:56] Juli___: 'fixmbr' is a Windows command; you can only access it from a Windows install CD. [18:56] may get a straggler every now and then [18:56] Dr_Willis: means 8.10 [18:56] or maybe you can, but it's not straightforward at all [18:56] thank u all :) [18:56] Znupi: chmod g+w just-a-folder [18:56] Dr_Willis: ntfs-config only lets me check support for external disks writing... what does it have in common with needing su for mounting? [18:56] Znupi: Or even ACLs. [18:56] Znupi: sshfs just mounts. :) its not really doing the shareing.. ssh is the shareing part. [18:56] Juli___: supergrub-cd should do it too [18:56] grawity, plus [18:56] screen resolution experts? [18:57] !hi | LOPA [18:57] LOPA: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [18:57] Is there any easy way to add the lavcac3enc filter to mplayer in ubuntu? [18:57] Tartaros: if you are using external/internal ntfs drives that tool will make proper fstab entries. or set the proper settings where all users can access them without the passwords. You never did say what filesystem you were using. [18:57] llutz: i tried that one too, but it never worked. [18:57] hi. Why can't I go invisible in empathy? [18:57] I know.. I use ssh for file sharing all the time (on my server), but if I were to use it on my desktop where I only want to share, say, /home/felix/Music, I don't know how to do that [18:57] Tartaros: the 9.10 version has some extra features compared to 9.04 [18:57] ...how to prevent clients from accessing other folders [18:57] I'd have to do some pretty complicated rights changes and stuff like that [18:57] How do I compile something? (gspca, driver) [18:57] Znupi: normal linux permissions are used i belive [18:58] also my bluetooth is timing out only on the media section of my memory card and not the pic of my phone ...any way to make the timout longer? [18:58] annoia, not sure actually but...you could join the #mplayer channel to find out if there is an easy way if it is not already installed [18:58] Znupi: same as if they were logged in locally [18:58] Dr_Willis: yeah. Well I use one internal ntfs disk and one external. I want them both mounted either automatically and without asking respectively [18:58] coz_ - They told me to compile it on my own... [18:58] Dr_Willis: Yes, but still, it's not easy to set up, like samba [18:58] hey folks, how can I tell what version of GRUB I'm currently using? I thought I had updated to version 2 but I always see 1.98 (beta) or something to that effect when I start up... [18:58] Tartaros: run that tool. check the box's then you shouldent get asked.. or make proper fstab entries for them. [18:58] annoia, that makes sense.... compiling mplayer should not be that difficutlt ...did they tell you how to include that ? [18:58] Znupi: err.. comapred to samba.. its much easier. [18:59] Znupi: but it wont work with windows machines. :) [18:59] Dr_Willis: but the checkbox for internal disk write support is grayed out and unchecked... [18:59] its also proberly slower then samba.. but it can work over the internet. [18:59] GodFather: my bad, aren't you looking at libglib2 ? [18:59] coz_ - I just prefer to fix it through repositories, if possible... [18:59] Tartaros: run the tool as root? [18:59] I am using a dell laptop that has the intel 915 chipset and cannot get my screen resolution to 1440X900 [18:59] on a desktop, no. on a desktop you just right click -> sharing -> share folder [18:59] http://wubi-installer.org/ [18:59] came to know about it today .. [18:59] Znupi: and some times that even works.. ive had mixxed results [18:59] Dr_Willis: yeah I am. It won't even start without su [18:59] hope it brings more ubuntu users .. [19:00] Dr_Willis: it always worked for me [19:00] annoia, I think...if that plugin or codec is not already in the pacakge I dont think there are patches for this...it is most likely you will have to compile the entire pacakge with the apparopariate tags for that plugin [19:00] Znupi: i always set up samba to share the users HOME directories. so theres rarely a need for more specific shares being made by uisers [19:00] coz_ - Maybe I just need a different lavc... [19:00] Any one who knows how to compile something....? [19:00] heh phil_fl: I'm trying to install irssi and I need "glib-2.6 or greater" [19:00] annoia, I am not sure let me check ...what is it again? [19:01] Znupi: theres MUCH more to samba - then just right clicking.. :) thats just one little facet of the fetures it can do. [19:01] i know that ssh is easier to setup with the command line and that it's more secure and more stable [19:01] I know [19:01] lavcac3enc [19:01] I've toyed around with samba configs a little [19:01] coz_ - For encoding ac3 on the fly [19:01] how? [19:01] what is samba? [19:01] file sharing [19:01] ive fought with samba over the years. :) and i can normally beat it into doing what i need [19:01] How do i get linux-headers-2.6.18-6-xen-vserver-686 ? apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.18-6-xen-vserver-686 syas: " Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.18-6-xen-vserver-686" [19:01] !samba | C00l_AWAY [19:01] C00l_AWAY: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[19:03] Dr_Willis: What I'm saying is that for a novice user (noob), sharing files can be very problematic on a Linux system (like Ubuntu), although the task itself is basic and most of them would go "right clicking worked on windows!" [19:03] I did that Dr_Willis [19:03] the instructions are very clear [19:03] GodFather: yes libglib2.0-0-dev if you want to compile your program [19:03] and I'm following them to a tee, but I get an error [19:03] Znupi: and its amazing how many of them never even look in the menus for the share thing. :) [19:03] Finally, I believe a samba-like system should be created in an open-source fashion and adopted by Linux distros [19:03] Znupi: odd enough that users are allowed to share something [19:04] what could be the reason if the blkid doesnt output the UUID of a partition? [19:04] with all the experts, no one is the screen resolution experts? [19:04] E: Couldn't find package libglib2.0-0-dev [19:04] samba has many limitations.. and of course its a moving target due to MS changeing things [19:04] Dr_Willis: ok so it worked for the external drive. I can now mount it without su. But I can't check the checkbox for internal device and it still asks for password when mounting [19:04] annoia, did you look here? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=934833 [19:04] Vinky: check "ls -l /dev/disk/by-UUID" [19:04] * Dr_Willis belives windows needs a free NFS implemention and sshfs implemetion [19:04] Tartaros: make a proper fstab entry for it then [19:04] Dr_Willis: That's why I said an open source software similar to samba should be developed [19:05] Dr_Willis: NFS - Microsoft Services for Unix (aka Interix) [19:05] llutz, I know that but still why? [19:05] I'm trying to install qjoypad so I can use my joystick in a game, but I can't get this program to compile [19:05] Dr_Willis: services for unix exist [19:05] Dr_Willis: sshfs - Dokan SSHFS [19:05] Dr_Willis: there's WinSCP if you really want to do ssh file sharing on windows [19:05] Dr_Willis: ok.

[19:10] couldn't find package qmake [19:10] yes znupi [19:10] arand fsck had errors the other day when it failed too boot...is there a way to dpkg reconfigure all or just do the ones im having prob with...i think the problems root at X/gdm problem [19:10] Wiseman: :) or use the svn package/commands the site has. [19:10] Wiseman: and that thing will need qt libs/dev files installed as well it seems [19:10] Wiseman: qt4-qmake [19:11] Wicked: try typing simply "qmake" in the terminal, you'll get recommendations for packages that contain that program === jkj is now known as NijeDoMene [19:11] Hello, can someone help me with Java, i have .jar file . In windows it runs normal, but then i try run in ubuntu 9.10 its run but not works corectly. maybe someone have suggest what do?

[19:11] kalashaz: what do you mean by :but not works corectly [19:11] wine is not a windows emulator [19:12] but is a bad solution [19:12] How can I view a sketchup file (.skp) in Ubuntu? I'm using Koala. [19:12] redrum: you can't say that unless you know what's the problem. [19:12] its the learning program, with exercise , and not all exercise runs [19:12] the windows program run very bad in wine [19:12] thanks to both of you [19:12] redrum: that's not true. some programs run perfectly well. no use spreading FUD [19:13] itunes for example run very bad in wine [19:13] the key there is "for example". it's *one* example.

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:13] redrum, agreed itunes is NOT good in wine - but don't generalize for ALL programs - many programs work flawlessly in wine. Plus, wine stands of "Wine Is NOT an Emulator" [19:14] How can I view a sketchup file (.skp) in Ubuntu? I'm using Koala. [19:14] wine makes me feel dirty [19:14] Does anyone have any suggestions on how a European user might be able to install network-manager-pptp without internet access at the installed machine? [19:14] "ANA" stands for "ANA's not an anronym" too, but that doesn't make it so. [19:14] ok, I installed qmake [19:14] itunes makes me feel ill. [19:14] and did a make [19:14] and it blew up [19:14] nordhri: I don't think you can, Google hasn't released a SketchUp version for Linux [19:14] n8tuser but in windows its run normal everything works fine [19:14] ok not all program run very bad under wine, but there are some problematic program run under wine ,ok? [19:15] madmax_x: see the --help option for more options (force, all (use all with care, you'll reset all global configs that way) [19:15] Znupi, ok thanks... that sucks.. I need to access this file for a client.. I was hoping there was a viewer at least [19:15] feed_me_seymour: you can download the .deb from packages.ubuntu.com, put it on a usb stick and on the said machine [19:15] and wine is not a windows emulator, ok [19:15] It spit a huge amount of errors at me [19:15] Znupi: Thanks! [19:15] feed_me_seymour: welcome :) [19:15] redrum: regardless of how it works, telling people "it's bad" when they are asking for help is not helpful. [19:15] kalashaz-> am not going to argue with you, look for the jar it needs..ie the classes [19:16] Znupi: How do you apt-install a package from a .deb on a local machine? [19:16] \join #ubuntu-ro [19:16] feed_me_seymour: you double click :) [19:16] There is something very fulfilling by writing make -j5 [19:16] One program I wish I could get working in Linux is an old DOS program called AcidDraw. === luist_ is now known as ltcabral [19:16] Wiseman: and that thing will need qt libs/dev files installed as well [19:16] Znupi: oh, duh... lol :) Thank you. [19:16] feed_me_seymour, "dpkg -i package.deb" ? [19:16] Znupi, nordhri: i guess one possibility is running sketchup in wine, according to http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2007/12/google-sketchup-6-on-linux-and-freebsd.html it would seem to be possible (i don't necessarily endorse the contents of this "howto" though) [19:16] its runs "ok" in dosbox.. but not "great" [19:16] I wish i could get my motorcycle to runin ubuntu [19:17] LjL, I mainly just need to view the file.. not manipulate it. [19:17] nordhri: well i doubt there are viewers (aside from google earth perhaps) [19:17] guys, i am trying to reactivate grub for a friend. Happens the following. I use a knoppix CD I let knoppix to mount the linux partition (/dev/sda7). On a root terminal I did chroot /media/sda7. Everything went OK until here. Then I looked at /etc/fstab I saw that the primary disc was /dev/sda1. I went to /dev/ directory and there was no sda or sda1 or sdax. Something bad happen. How I should proceed? [19:17] nordhri, not that i've tried it - but i bet dollars to donuts that AcidDraw would work in DosBox [19:17] hey is anyone running regular ubuntu on a netbook [19:17] darthanubis: http://www.mavizen.com/Models_and_Kits/TTX02.html [19:17] i.e. not nbr [19:17] hmm I wonder if someone is working on an importer for Blender... [19:17] mneptok, seen it;) [19:17] n8tuser, i opened jar file and inside exercise files in xml file, maybe i need install xml library ? i am new in ubuntu [19:17] hi all. can someone let me know what logs to check to diagnose ubuntu server not having any video? I'm able to ssh in but the video support has been very buggy and of course there's no X11 log [19:17] ok mneptop, of course [19:17] ZykoticK9, it does.. but not "great" [19:18] cantoma: you need to mount the /dev to your chroot /dev [19:18] Hi I was doing an upgrade through Terminal, when Gnome crashed. So the upgrade was interrupted. When I started the upgrade again, it says there's no packages to upgrade. [19:18] ZykoticK9, it is definately tolerable. [19:18] cantoma: is it the latest version of ubuntu? if so it uses grub2, unless it was an upgrade.. if it uses grub2 you might need to use an Ubuntu live cd to fix [19:18] anyone> [19:18] nordhri, sorry just now saw you said it did run in dosbox, sorry [19:18] ? [19:19] ok thanks again folks. Always helpful here.. awesome channel. [19:19] kalashaz-> nothing to do with ubuntu, learn what java requires for the libraries. jar files are archives of files and libraries it needs..so maybe you are missing some. see what the errors tell you [19:19] Billiard, i will have a look at the way is mounted [19:19] kalashaz-> also make sure it search the correct $JAVA_PATH or $CLASS_PATH [19:19] glick: it is a very general question, with no proper answer, if you have a specific problem ask about it. [19:19] cantoma: mount -o bind /dev /chrootlocation/dev , i think [19:20] mok [19:20] arand, it has a very proper answer. the answer choices are either "yes" or "no" [19:20] :P [19:20] glick: the answer is yes, some people are === diego is now known as Guest81776 [19:20] no :) [19:20] !anyone | glick, it's not a proper question for *this channel* [19:20] glick, it's not a proper question for *this channel*: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [19:20] glick but was is your *real* question [19:20] lifestream: try sudo apt-get update | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade or sudo apt-get update | sudo aptitude full-upgrade. Check to see if your sources are for karmic or jaunty as well. It should be karmic. [19:20] i run xubuntu in virtualbox. when i run apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, i get the following: [19:21] glick: but we can't have this whole channel going yes/no can we? ;/ [19:21] n8tuser, how know is the correct path ? and how i can get know what path set now ? [19:21] loginfliggle, does that work for a normad everyday upgrade? (it was just some packages, not a dist upgrade) thank you [19:21] hi.. I need a FTP server for old ubuntu..5.1 [19:21] im trying to see what the difference is between running regular ubuntu vs NBR on a eeepc [19:21] kalashaz-> learn java..not an ubuntu issues [19:21] estudio: 5.1!! [19:21] any sugest [19:21] estudio: sounds like a horrible idea! [19:21] estudio: doesnt have vsftpd? [19:21] wow, why 5.1? [19:21] lifestream: sudo aptitude full-upgrade should check every package for upgrades [19:21] n8tuser, thanks [19:21] (chmm... i do not know how to use pastebin...) [19:22] since they took out switch to classical desktop option in NBR [19:22] estudio: i mean, it sounds like a horrible idea to both use such an old version and to install something as generally insecure as ftp on it [19:22] cichlasoma: http://paste.pocoo.org/ [19:22] why!!!!!! [19:22] !pastebin > cichlasoma [19:22] cichlasoma, please see my private message [19:22] does ubuntu 9.10 work on macbook 1,1? i can only find an installation guide for 9.04 and below... [19:22] glick: really, they took it off? [19:22] old mac in brazil [19:22] cichlasoma: Open a pastebin website (such as http://dpaste.com/ or whatever), paste everything there, click "Submit", and copy the new page's address. [19:22] aha... http://paste.ubuntu.com/318050/ [19:22] glick, if you have the space i'd use the full install - you can add the netbook interface to the full install, but adding gnome to NBR is much more challenging [19:22] teflon: try out the live cd [19:22] loginfliggle, thanks :) When I type that, it says some libs are going to be removed. The upgrade I was doing was chrome and some other little things like that. [19:22] evening all [19:22] !ftpd | glick [19:22] glick: FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP [19:22] teflon: it probably will work [19:22] yes LjL [19:23] kalashaz-> btw, those PATHS are called environment variables both in windows and linux, man set for additional info [19:23] lifestream: it is probably just outdated libs from an old upgrade. i think you can manually exclude them with synaptic though. youd have to check the man page [19:23] phil_fl: it works now :D thanks for your time sir =) [19:23] billiard: i've got a bit of a complicated setup, my cd drive is broken so i'm using firewire to substitute another computer's cd drive for mine [19:23] ZykoticK9, is the nbr interface the only difference? [19:23] kalashaz-> maybe not man set, but you can google for environmental vars linux [19:23] glick, yes - the hardware support / kernel are the same! [19:24] teflon: that as long as you can boot from the cd that shouldnt be a problem [19:24] thanks for all [19:24] ZykoticK9, its not compiled differently or something? [19:24] billard: also i can't get the preloaded cd, will it be ok if i burn the ISO to a blank cd? [19:24] n8tuser, ok i will try. [19:24] GodFather, good the *dev are usually the one for compiling : aptitude search glib | grep dev [19:24] glick, same - just interface/programs are different [19:24] hey all.. I need to get memcacheQ installed on my ubuntu box, the configure script is fail because it cant find libevent, but I see libevent.so.1 is in my /usr/lib... any ideas? [19:24] Alright, shouldn't hurt. Thanks again loginfliggle, *Goes read ^.^* [19:24] teflon: not familiar with a preloaded cd, ive only burned an iso to a blank cd [19:25] ZykoticK9, so performance is the same? [19:25] hmm i may just re install then [19:25] lifestream: np mate [19:25] glick, they are the same thing! [19:25] nbr is rediculous that they dont give you a classical desktop option [19:25] billiard: so live cd = ISO burned to blank cd? [19:25] teflon: yes [19:25] teflon: live cd is the desktop cd [19:25] you could have a non live cd. :) [19:25] kalashaz, also you could try to start your java with java -jar -verbose:class youjar.jar [19:25] glick, it's to reduce the size of the install [19:25] kalashaz, to check any difference [19:25] uptownben: you nee the -dev package [19:26] ok, thanks billiard and scunizi :) [19:26] tok [19:26] what is GUI [19:26] why would you want to reduce the size of the install most notbooks now have 160 gig disks [19:26] GUI = graphics user interface [19:26] !gui > tnk092 [19:26] tnk092, please see my private message [19:26] so, here http://paste.ubuntu.com/318054/ is what i get when trying to install kubuntu in xubuntu. sorry for previous messy posts... [19:26] tnk092: the thing that means you're not typing commands at a blank screen [19:26] are intel graphics just a big pile of poop or is there any working solution available yet? Only thing I've seen that works is putting in a video card and ignoring the on board :( [19:26] otherwise my system hangs at boot [19:26] thanks @zykotic [19:26] glick: tell this my netbook with 4GB SSD [19:26] llutz: Thank you!!! [19:27] what is its purpose === jfoldmei_ is now known as jfoldmei [19:27] detrate_: mine doesn't [19:27] test [19:27] nice, *saves command* [19:27] Tartaros: I have g41, what about you? === fufu is now known as Guest12359 [19:27] cichlasoma: try ... apt-get update ? [19:27] detrate_: working fine (if you are not using jaunty) [19:27] it works fine with 9.04 until an upgrade [19:27] 9.10 won't even get to the installer [19:27] who play whit geany? [19:27] shell script question.. why doesnt this work "echo ls $HOME" === Guest54636 is now known as ShrinkRap [19:28] I was able to 'fix' an installation by copying over my xorg.conf.failesafe [19:28] Guest12359: what are you trying to do [19:28] to use the vesa drivers [19:28] Guest12359: What does it output? [19:28] but otherwise, it hangs :( [19:28] is there a way to rollback to 9.04 after updating to 9.10? (I can probley guess no but worth asking) [19:28] Guest12359: maybe echo `ls $HOME` ? [19:28] what is purpose for GUI [19:28] tnk092, the GUI is the thing we think of as our operating system, i.e everything graphical you can click on. older operating systems didn't have a GUI, that's why in old movies computers screens just show green text on a black screen :) [19:28] I just want it output ls of files in that director [19:28] y [19:28] Guest12359 well as a matter of fact it works [19:28] Guest12359: just ls "$HOME" ? [19:28] Guest12359: ls $HOME [19:28] media: no [19:28] tnk092: you don't need it, but it makes it pretty and user-friendly [19:29] Guest12359 remove echo [19:29] tnk092: GUI is the graphical interface. Buttons, menus, mouse, pictures, icons. [19:29] detrate_: 945 GME [19:29] no I want to write it in a Shell Script [19:29] Guest12359: ls is outping infomations, no need for echo [19:29] yea - got qjoypad compiled. :) [19:29] i will try Znupi [19:29] Hi Everyone! [19:29] Guest12359: change your name, and write it in the script [19:29] !hi | mka [19:29] is the a wild card for the command line dpkg [19:29] mka: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay!

[19:30] @grawity :can we make our GUI [19:30] tnk092: Yes. [19:30] doesnt work ...dpkg reconfigure nvidia* [19:30] how would i convert an mp4 file to tga images using mencoder? [19:30] tnk092: you can do anything you want in Linux.. [19:31] Znupi: that's a bit of an overstatement. [19:31] marks256: i think ive seen teh mencoder faq with that anseer.. but it was to jpg. so not sure if it can do tga directoy [19:31] .. [19:31] How do I specify my server's hostname in /etc/hosts if it has a dynamic IP? [19:31] mneptok: no [19:31] iceroot: hmm? [19:31] Mike_lifeguard: Same as usually, just remember to update it manually every time. [19:31] yeah arand i saw that but i hate hacks [19:31] hey.. [19:32] marks256, something like "mplayer -vo tga file.mp4" [19:32] thnk i found my prob..niswrappers are crashing my computer after reboot, but this is the only way to load my driver to get wireless internet...any suggestions [19:32] hello [19:32] ZykoticK9, i'll give that a try [19:32] ... [19:32] does anyone know if Ubuntu Netbook Remix is based on Moblin v2 or moblin v1? [19:32] grawity: is there no tool to keep that line up to date? I'm sure the computer knows better than I do when it gets a new IP :) [19:32] marks256: what is "tga image"? [19:32] !tga|mka [19:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about tga [19:32] carpunky_: posting errors is a good idea, how should anyone help without details from you? [19:32] marks256, Dr_Willis "mplayer -vo help" [19:32] Mike_lifeguard: Is it for your LAN? [19:32] mneptok: why? [19:32] howdy, can i find good instructions for installing Ubuntu with raid somewhere? [19:32] glick: it seems like the switcher has been disabled due to problems with it (stability?), and it will not be present in karmic as it seems. [19:33] !raid [19:33] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [19:33] I do not get errors, it just crashes the system [19:33] sidewalk: use the alternate-cd === Floops[w]1 is now known as Fringe [19:33] Mike_lifeguard: /etc/hosts was created before dynamic IPs, even before DNS. For name resolution inside a LAN, there are better ways than it. [19:33] Has anyone tried an authentic version of "Multics"? I have read they are releasing a version based on the old Multics but I think the current hardware will be a problem. [19:33] atmosx, neither, moblin is a separate project [19:33] iceroot: for software raid? [19:33] arand, yeah ive noticed that when it was still in the beta [19:33] Mike_lifeguard: that is like scratching your left ear with your right hand (I don't know if that expression exists in English :P), why use an /etc/hosts entry? [19:33] when you can use DNS? [19:33] i thought they would fix it not remove it [19:33] sidewalk: yes, also for software-raid [19:33] hehe [19:33] iceroot: oki, do i need both hard drives in my machine during install or? [19:33] how do you reply to somone ? [19:34] ZykoticK9, i have to install mplayer quick [19:34] sidewalk: read the link from ubottu [19:34] someone [19:34] UBUNTU 9.10 CRASH [19:34] !tab | carpunky_ [19:34] carpunky_: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:34] carpunky_: Just type that someone's nickname before the message. [19:34] love it when it does that [19:34] billiard, hi again - if i install 9.10 on my 1,1 macbook, will all the drivers work properly? the generic install guide says proceed to the documentation for your specific mac version to do that, but there is none for installing 9.10 on my mac. [19:34] Billiard, i did the bind thing. I did /sbin/grub-install /dev/sda and the only thing he wrote in device.map was (hd0) /dev/sda. Did you think is this correct? [19:34] iceroot: for which one of the links? ;-) [19:34] carpunky_: Try this: type "gra", then press the Tab key. [19:34] hi. am i correct in my understanding that there is not yet support for vlan configuration via the gui? [19:34] glick: although using this ppa might be useful https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mobile/+archive/ppa [19:34] sidewalk: what about the software-raid link? [19:34] Znupi: you can't do "anything you want" in Linux, sadly. [19:34] hi [19:34] grawity, Znupi: I don't know, maybe I don't need to use it :) Mostly, I was confused that 'dnsdomainname' returns "dnsdomainname: Unknown host [19:34] corrupted files... corrupted files... constantly with 9.10 [19:34] ok good [19:34] :-) [19:34] yes.. [19:34] Billiard: thanks for the reply, it (update) does not help, yet I get other errors to examine at least... :-) [19:34] teflon: try the live cd, see if it works well [19:34] friggin sucks [19:34] is there a BerkeleyDB 4.7 or higher package? [19:34] now..i can remote ubuntu from my windows.. [19:34] mneptok: sure you can do, just use gcc and so on :) [19:34] mneptok: what can't you do? [19:34] cantoma: it might be correct, im not at the computer idk [19:35] iceroot, ty [19:35] :) i'm new user,, [19:35] I see libdb-4.6 [19:35] Mike_lifeguard: 127.0.0.1 yourhostname.yourdomain.tld yourhostname localhost [19:35] hi guys..i'm newbie.. [19:35] Billiard, i say this because it was windows as well in the pc [19:35] grawity, ty [19:35] billiard, i'm thinking of doing a non-partitioned install and i haven't got the original OSX install disks, so i don't want to mess things up [19:35] Znupi: did you just see someone asking about opening SketchUp files? how about "I want to run Apple's iWork suite." [19:35] falcokian, you can do that by installing openssh and putty [19:35] teflon: non-partitioned ? [19:35] billard (sorry, i mean single-boot) [19:36] mneptok: that wasn't the idea. I meant that you can do anything from a programming point of view [19:36] falcokian: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [19:36] :) [19:36] thanks. [19:36] yeah i get it.. [19:36] falcokian, do that, and then install putty on your windows machine :) [19:36] usser: neither? Ubuntu Remix Moblin Netbook eidition is based on moblin. [19:36] falcokian: then download putty for windows and connect to your ubuntu [19:36] uptownben, in karmic there appears to be 4.7 [19:36] usser: the question if the 9.10 is based on v2 [19:36] From the Terminal i message you all. The xorg.conf is located in.. got to restore the original & just on a brainfart on it's location [19:36] ZykoticK9, It made the right number of frames, but all the images were blank (as in full alpha transparency) [19:36] iceroot, My computer freezes after reboot, so i cant see the error, just no by trial and error what is crashing the system [19:36] falcokian, thats how I roll [19:36] Is it possible to change font size of a single appliciation specifically gtwitter or twitux ? [19:36] mneptok: theoretically, there is nothing you can't do with Linux. You can program *anything* on top of it [19:36] unfortunately I'm on hardy [19:36] carpunky_: /var/log/ is a good place to start searching [19:37] marks256, let me try one second [19:37] ZykoticK9, thanks [19:37] billiard, i'm on 10.4 tiger, which makes it difficult to do a non-destructive partition, i figured it might be more trouble than it's worth to try dual-booting [19:37] now.. i can remote all PC client on my network.. [19:37] Yes.. [19:37] Znupi: still limited. you cannot run Apple's development IDE, for example. [19:37] Znupi: Even run it on a toaster? [19:37] awesome..ubuntu.. [19:37] teflon: ok [19:37] sometimes i get bash :bad command in terminal ,what does it mean [19:37] mneptok: you still don't get it. you can port Apple's development IDE to Linux, if you have access to the sources. [19:37] I am trying to find an application that will allow me to organize and partially customize servers and information? [19:37] atmosx, All of the initial Ubuntu Netbook remixes combine optimisations from the Moblin project for Intel® Atom™ processors and it is specially designed for netbooks. [19:37] grawity: no, you need netbsd for that [19:37] tnk092: you typed a bad command [19:37] grawity: k, I didn't realize you could specify more than one per line [19:37] trism: post the command [19:37] iceberg, ok, but I cannot do anything, I have to reinstall everytime..no mouse no keyboard..no internet [19:38] atmosx, It is not based on moblin [19:38] trism: sorry wrong nick [19:38] hello [19:38] Znupi: and no one has access to the sources. mighty big "if" there. [19:38] tnk092: post the command [19:38] grawity: if you have a powerful enough toaster, yes! [19:38] i need help [19:38] mneptok: yes, that's why I said "theoretically" [19:38] From the Terminal i message you all. The xorg.conf is located in.. got to restore the original & just on a brainfart on it's location [19:38] Mike_lifeguard: Usually, the computer's own hostname is specified in the 127.0.0.1, before "localhost" [19:38] !ask > yosef [19:38] <|Dreams|> hi can someone look my pastebin logs, my laptop just keeps cutting out dont know why doing my head in please [19:38] yosef, please see my private message [19:38] yosef: just ask the question [19:38] !ask | yosef [19:38] yosef: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:38] yosef, what [19:38] o0splitpaw0o: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:38] <|Dreams|> http://pastebin.com/m50b2f5b4 [19:38] marks256, i get all blue output? could you output to PNG and convert?

[19:39] yosef: and what does "i cant" mean? [19:39] Znupi: theoretically, humans are capable of self-powered flight. if we lose bone mass and density and develop leathery bat wings. theoretically. [19:39] Hello, is there a way on the command line to upload a single file to an FTP server with a user and password with only one command? [19:39] i install it but i can't find it [19:39] OpenSourcedNick: yes [19:39] <|Dreams|> please somone [19:39] mneptok: exactly. [19:39] <|Dreams|> lol [19:39] OpenSourcedNick, wput [19:39] OpenSourcedNick: also curl. [19:39] ZykoticK9, no. i need tga to import it into voodoo [19:39] can tell me i should do to open it [19:39] falcokian: glad you like it [19:39] Znupi: you jump off the building first. [19:40] grawity, tried curl, didn't make it... how easy is wput? [19:40] marks256, but could you output to PNG first then convert to tga somehow? [19:40] OpenSourcedNick: man wput [19:40] mneptok: my "you can do anything in Linux" response was to a question something like "can we make our own GUI in Linux?" [19:40] ZykoticK9, possibly. but i'm not sure how i'd do that [19:40] OpenSourcedNick: wput is easy [19:41] thanks I'll give it a shot :] [19:41] marks256, i'm googling but it appears like imagemagick with it's convert command MIGHT do it? [19:41] and I meant it something like "yes, you can code to your heart's content and create any project that does anything and everything on Linux" [19:41] OpenSourcedNick, although i dont see user and password switches in wput, might need to use expect for it [19:41] [19:41] I can't open it > [19:41] usser: That would be an ugly solution. [19:41] ZykoticK9, hmm... i suppose it wouldn't hurt to give it a go. I'll try it and let you know the results [19:41] !doesntwork | yosef [19:41] yosef: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [19:42] usser, actually found it, you write the address with it... ftp://user:pass@.... [19:42] How do I change the domain name/workgroup reference? [19:42] marks256, best of luck man [19:42] OpenSourcedNick, oh cool so wput understands that [19:42] !ubuntu sucks [19:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu sucks [19:42] anyone here using Ekiga Softphone ?? [19:42] OpenSourcedNick: curl -u username:password -T file.txt ftp://blah/blah [19:42] falcokian: yep [19:42] Dravekx: you have a support-related question? [19:42] grawity, indeed, you're doing something wrong if you resort to expect [19:43] iceroot, Ubuntu server crashed on me :( [19:43] how to configure it?? [19:43] Hey guys - I got a big problem at work. I want to use my Ubuntu computer loaded with zenmap to find out what computers are infected by conficker. Anybody ever run it? [19:43] and all I did was install vsftpd [19:43] Scunizi, name/workgroup ? in samba ? [19:43] hi, could someone help me with 9.10 installation? it always timeouts in the beginning [19:43] I think the ext4 system has issues [19:43] its not work for me.. [19:43] falcokian, make sure port 22 is open [19:44] Dravekx: errors? [19:44] if you are behind a firewall [19:44] i have tried with both "normal" version as well as the netbook remix [19:44] Eien: check the cd for defects? [19:44] q. how to launch the autoupdate program ? [19:44] Billiard: i'm installing from usb [19:44] thanks..i will try it.. [19:44] iceroot, yeah. black screen, reboot, and nothing. files are corrupted. [19:44] phil_fl: well... currently on this box I'm running ubuntu in a vm with an xp host. Ubuntu's default network is "workgroup" and I want to change that.. Is it a samba thing or in a different area? [19:44] falcokian: for ekiga service? [19:44] i had 9.04 running just fine, but this new one wont install [19:44] Scunizi, sounds like samba, /etc/samba/smb.conf [19:45] Scunizi, Workgroup would be a samba thing! [19:45] phil_fl: k.. thanks.. I'll edit there ! .. thanks to you ZykoticK9 [19:45] !update [19:45] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [19:45] iceroot, i think its that new ext4 system [19:45] I recentally upgraded from 9.04 -> 9.10, and now I have no non-free nvidia driver and thus x doesn't start at boot up. How do I go about getting a nvidia kernel module for ubuntu? I've tried to install the nvidia-settings-190, nvidia-190-modaliases, nvidia-190-kernel-source but still don't have the module I need [19:45] Eien: check your downloaded iso's md5? [19:45] Billiard: i have downloaded both twice with no errors [19:46] hi [19:46] how can i set the binding for a kind of file? [19:46] How do I set my resolv.conf so that short names, ie one word names like "q" or "query" or "hello" don't automatically get converted to q.localhost, query.localhost, etc.? [19:46] Scunizi, and phil_fl is correct first real variable in /etc/samba/smb.conf if "workgroup = WORKGROUP" [19:46] is there a way to load my wireless driver card without using a wrapper [19:46] like.. open .doc with openoffice [19:46] ZykoticK9, i'm going to have to write a script to convert all of the png files to tga [19:46] Eien, 9.10? [19:46] Dravekx: yes [19:47] Ah drat. my xorg.conf.backup won't work. notied a change in 9.10 with reference to resetting up xorg. What's the command. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't seem to work. what's the alt command now? [19:47] can we make our own commands ,for terminal [19:47] ZykoticK9: yep.. made the change and restarted samba.. I'll check for change in the win machine :) [19:47] tnk092, yea sure [19:47] anyone? [19:47] o0splitpaw0o: that should work i think [19:47] how can i set the binding for a kind of file? [19:47] how [19:47] once I switched from ubuntu from XP on my laptop, I am having a massive drain on my battery... anyone else have this issue? laptop = dell latitude e6500 [19:47] marks256, "for file in *.png; do convert $file `basename png $file`.tga" or similar -- not sure the basename part is correct -- please test on a small bach first! [19:47] it goes to this point where ubuntu logo is flashing, and few moments after that it gives that timeout error [19:48] tnk092, most commands are nothing more than an executable file located in either /bin /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin [19:48] ZykoticK9, awesome thanks. i'll give that a go [19:48] Crumbles: ubuntu does use up the battery faster for me than on windows [19:48] tnk092, i'd put your own custom executables into /usr/local/bin [19:48] marks256, sorry! i missed "...; done" at the end!!! [19:48] billiard: I am talking wicked fast. my battery is dead in like 20-30 minutes now, vs. 2 hours in windows. [19:48] marks256, the ... is everything up to that point [19:48] hmm,thans usser [19:49] Crumbles, it all depends on background processes and ultimately what gui you are using [19:49] Billiard, Crumbles yeah ive noticed that too :( [19:49] ZykoticK9, ok, so add "done" to the end after a ";"?

[19:49] ZykoticK9, what's the 'basename png $file'? [19:49] Crumbles, set up screen dimming too [19:49] that saves a ton of juice [19:49] praise grawity ! curl worked, wput didn't don't care why, using curl, danke! :) [19:49] ZykoticK9, i understand the rest of the script, just not that part [19:50] it is set up [19:50] cow1: what are you trying to do [19:50] Dravekx_: no, it gives this error: (initframfs) /init: line 1: can't open udevadm settle - timout of 180 seconds reached [19:50] 2o2 medPLUZ our fuckin server [19:50] i want to write a shell script that displays the ls of a folder [19:50] gabri-shatana: if you mean what program opens it.. right click on the file/icon => properties -> set what you want it to be opened by [19:50] #!/bin/bash [19:50] I have an HP laptop, ZD 8000 with ATI graphics, Radeon X600 with 128mb built in ram; I used to run older versions of Ubuntu fine (except for some of the usual types of glitches), including Jaunty.

Even after typing in sudo -i & trying it there. nothing occurs. [19:51] cow1: just use ls "$HOME/Documents" [19:51] Dr_Willis yeah but i need to do it every time :S [19:51] gabri-shatana: do what every time... the gnome file manager has scripting features also. [19:51] gabri-shatana: there sproberly a dozen ways to do what you want.. depending on the details === moomlyn is now known as linimoo [19:52] it doesnt work Billiard [19:52] i have a wired headset, i was wondering if it would be dangerous if i keep using for long hours? [19:52] cow1: elaborate, what does it say [19:52] in Ubuntu [19:52] marks256, ok got it "for file in *.png; do convert $file `basename $file png`tga; done" [19:52] ZykoticK9, just copy and paste that? [19:53] maybe i'm just off to reinstall 9.04 then... [19:53] Dr_Willis i want open .doc file with openoffice [19:53] cow1: what is the error? [19:53] no error [19:53] marks256, it "should" work ;) [19:53] ZykoticK9, what is `basename $file png`? [19:53] it doesnt work [19:53] ZykoticK9, haha :) thanks for the help either way! [19:53] cow1: pastebin your whole script [19:53] ok [19:53] gabri-shatana: right click on a .doc -> properties -> point it to ooowrite (i think) [19:53] i have a wired headset, i was wondering if it would be dangerous if i keep using for long hours? [19:53] Dr_willis. do you mean gdb? [19:53] marks256, basename will remove the .png extension or you'll get everything .png.tga [19:54] ljsoftnet: dangerous? [19:54] ZykoticK9, aah! i see! It works too :) thanks [19:54] ljsoftnet: not to see the relation with Ubuntu [19:54] Dr_willis. If so yes it isold school. [19:54] marks256, glad to help [19:54] ZykoticK9, now i'll try it on the other 650 :) [19:55] Dr_willis. Why do you use such a old debugger? [19:55] Dr_Willis point it ? [19:55] Billiard: http://paste.ubuntu.com/318101/ [19:55] Shell Script Not Working as expected [19:55] marks256, did you test one of the tga files to make sure it's working correctly? i've never used tga files before so have NO idea what conversion will do. [19:55] Billiard: would it be like stop the flow of blood in my head? [19:55] cow1: replace your whole script with just ls "$HOME/Documents" [19:55] ljsoftnet: doens't the headset come with some kind of H&S warnings? [19:56] ZykoticK9, yeah. they SEEM to be working fine. I can't say i've ever used tga myself. learn something new every day :) [19:56] ljsoftnet: ask your doctor [19:56] I was just asking myself if there was a way to connect amarok to the ps3, like windows media player can do, so i can share my music without having to pass it to the ps3, u know a way? [19:56] eddvrs: whats H&S warnings? [19:56] Health and Safety..

What to do if always a black screen at end of boot up using Live, or Intall options? [19:57] eddrvs ok il look for it, phil_fl sorry for the off topic [19:57] Scunizi: mmm? [19:57] how can share internet connection between ubuntu and xp? [19:57] ShrinkRap: check your iso md5, check the cd for defects? [19:57] xp is connected to the line [19:57] Parsi: turn on internet connection sharing in xp [19:57] Hi guy i don know if his is he proper plav [19:57] Dr_Willis ? [19:57] ShrinkRap, how so, you are communicating with us now are you not.. [19:57] OOps [19:58] Parsi: are you running ubuntu in a virtual machine ... wubi or dual boot? [19:58] I did on one copy; I may have another. I'm using a Vista (sigh) desktop [19:58] ubuntu has this really annoying bug where you can't see some of the open windows in the task bar. is there a fix for that? [19:58] Scunizi: xp on desktop pc, ubuntu in laptop [19:58] I can get into the root prompt; [19:59] I can run apt-get update, and install, but I'm not sure I'm connected [19:59] nsahoo: which windows cant you see? [19:59] ZykoticK9, does convert have verbose mode? [19:59] Billiard: often times the matlab help window, editor window [19:59] I run ifconfig and it seems to show eth) is running [19:59] ShrinkRap, update is errorprone at the best of times [19:59] Billiard: now the jabref window [20:00] Hi guys i am having a problem on one of my computers with the 9.10 upgrade. I cant get an automatic intrnert connection working on it. On 9.04 everything was automaticly configured but now on my wired OR wireless connection both wont work. Ive searched forums and all and nothing could solve this. Does anyone know what might be wrong? [20:00] Parsi: ah.. the the previous suggestion from the other person is correct.. internet connection sharing in the xp machine.. it'll require the machine to have 2 nics installed.. however most haven't been able to get that working well at all.. it's easier to pickup a router with DHCP and wireless [20:00] But not sure how to tell for sure [20:00] ZykoticK9, yep i guess it does [20:00] marks256, try with "-verbose" -- i'm just reading from "convert -h" [20:00] ShrinkRap, I have never heard of a effect as severe as you are describing though [20:00] Billiard: not even the Terminal window, where I am chatting right now using irssi [20:00] try using Ubuntu Software Center On Start Application.. [20:00] nsahoo: dunno sorry [20:00] ZykoticK9, fantastic :) thank you very much for all the help :) [20:00] alt-tab shows all the windows but window list does not [20:01] marks256, you're welcome :) [20:01] Scunizi: ubuntu can see the xp via wireless [20:01] Who's used zenmap in ubuntu? I need to use it to scan my windows network to troubleshoot an issue. [20:01] Parsi: so you have a router? [20:01] ZykoticK9, i got it all pasted into a script i can just run in the directory i want converted. Then i got it setup to remove the png files as well [20:01] I have a rather silly question, are all the helpers here volunteers or workers for ubuntu somehow? [20:01] If I use the downloaded install disc I can get the choose language screen. Then the logo pulsates for awhile; then black [20:01] This happens with either Live or Install option === jon is now known as Guest15133 [20:01] Roasted_: you might try wireshark or nmap .. there's a bunch of networking tools for linux [20:01] OpenSourcedNick: At least most of them are volunteers. Some are Ubuntu developers. [20:02] OpenSourcedNick, There are no workers for ubuntu [20:02] <|Dreams|> can anyone tell me how i find out why my laptop keeps shutting off [20:02] battery dead? acpi is messed up? [20:02] OpenSourcedNick, There are however workers for kanonical, but they charge [20:02] scunizi - I heard nmap can detect conficker, but I cannot figure out how to install it. I have the .tar.gz2 of it... how do I fire it up? I heard only the NEW version supports it - not what the repos have [20:02] Scunizi: hm, it's a usb adapter [20:02] <|Dreams|> battery is not dead [20:02] Roasted_: nmap is in the repos.. sudo apt-get install nmap [20:02] but there must be someone aiming the disturution towards some direction, some sort of headmaster... and to have a full-time worker who is developing all day, he must live of something, no? [20:03] need support driver from factory or what.?? [20:03] <|Dreams|> i posted some logs on pastebin hopefully someone can take a look [20:03] Parsi: in what? the xp machine? [20:03] <|Dreams|> http://pastebin.com/m50b2f5b4 [20:03] <|Dreams|> http://pastebin.com/m5970bca6 [20:03] scunizi - I cant use that one. I need to locate conficker which only the NEW version supports - the repo version is old. [20:03] OpenSourcedNick, no, it doesn't work like that [20:04] !compile | Roasted [20:04] Roasted: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [20:04] Roasted_: then you'll have to build it.. ie compile.. someone else will have to guide you there.. [20:04] ok, i use the wrappper thing to get the internet working, i then uninstall the driver for wireless pci card but it still works....is there some way to D/l all wireless drivers [20:04] Scunizi: no chance?:( [20:04] hi guys... short question: i want to install "freecad" but when installing with aptitude it always says: "No candidate version found for freecad [20:04] " [20:04] scunizi - thats why I asked.. how do I do that. [20:05] Younder, Glad to hear that and still a little confused... I understand that it's all open and free but it sounds strange because there are a lot of people doing this full-time (developing ubuntu for instance), and they must live off something don't they? [20:05] Roasted, typically it's just extract tarball - "./configure && make && sudo make install" but not always - check for any INSTALL docs in the tarball [20:05] !ot | OpenSourcedNick [20:05] OpenSourcedNick: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

It then plays without sound. Converting the video works only if I copy the audio, when changing something to the audio it crashes. Audiodevice is ALSA and sound works everywhere else. [20:06] phil_fl: but my aptitude says so.... [20:06] OK, apparently I'll have to abandon the laptop project for now. I have another desktop with XP and Jaunty on it. Jaunty broke on this machine too, going to 9.04. When I try to run the install disc for Karmic, I get confusing choices about partitioning. I just want to install over the top of Jaunty but keep my data. But all the options threaten to wipe my HD [20:07] I am think ing my wireless driver is blacklisted, how do i find that out ? [20:07] OpenSourcedNick, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers#ContribDev [20:07] Roasted_, surely confiker leaves some traces, some files on filesystem and such, you can check for those [20:07] Which is the best operating system for hackers?

[20:07] OpenSourcedNick, contains some details [20:07] usser_ - not to be a smart ass, but do you have any idea how tricky conficker is? It jumps file to file. Its a heck of a headache to figure out. [20:08] Roasted_, there must be some footprint. certain kind of traffic on a certain port [20:08] is there a way to switch the default action on a usb stick from "eject" to "unmount" when clicking the arrow in nautilus?

[20:10] Roasted_: this might help you out http://bitninja.org/conflicker_scan.txt [20:10] guntbert: phil_fl: has it ever been in the repositories? like in some early alpha version or so? because the tab-completion of aptitude finds the freecad package on my computer.,.. seems like if something left "a trace" of it on my computer.. although I personally nevere installed it... [20:10] Well, this has been fun. Back to the forums, I guess.

I cant seem to figure out where the switch is to make it pick up [20:13] my wired OR wireless connection both wont work. Ive searched forums and all and nothing could solve this. Does anyone know what might be wrong? [20:13] xzachtmx, It is not like all users have a problem with internet. [20:13] hey all, so i have clamtk (the gui front end for clamav) and it installed correctly but under Virus Definitions it has a green checkmark and says "None Found." do i have no virus definitons? anyone idea? [20:13] Hi, two questions. First, is there a friendlier google IM app than pidgin? It seems kinda user-unfriendly. [20:13] Roasted_, havent used zenmap sorry [20:13] And second, what do people use for doing google voice? [20:13] Am I doing something wrong ? I install Ubuntu...do the updates..etc....is there something else i should do....I keep crashing [20:13] where can I find kernel headers for 2.6.18?

I just need to find something - hence why I'm in networking + ubuntu, since I think ubuntu users might be a bit more familiar with the avialable apps that may be up my alley [20:15] Where can I find kernel headers for 2.6.18? Please help! no one would answer me :( [20:15] hi guys, maybe more generally- is there any place to adjust things that happen when ubuntu boots up? like screen brightness, things being mounted, and programs that start up automatically? [20:15] The one that isnt working is a 4 year old dell desktop with a wireless dongle and also a wired connection to the modem. The connection was fine before i upgraded and it automaticly configured. Now, the network dosent even launch with that icon on the task pannel when i boot it up. [20:15] Roasted_: there is a short section on zenmap with conficker here http://wikis.uit.tufts.edu/confluence/display/Conficker/Conficker+Resource+Page although it looks like you just use the command from nmap [20:15] Roasted_: I understand but cannot give any advice - sorry [20:15] it detects my ethernet, though [20:15] Roasted_, http://net.cs.uni-bonn.de/wg/cs/applications/containing-conficker/ here's a python script that detects if the system was infected. [20:15] mah2223: as for programs that start, some of them are in main menu - startup apps [20:16] trism - thats fine. command line or not [20:16] Roasted_, a good tool for doing what ? [20:16] great i'll check that out, thanks alot tartaros [20:16] Is there a way to extend the panels across 2 screens? [20:16] Fenix|work, it's in etc somewhere. for a 'find /etc -name * -exec grep -n syslogd {} \;' and see what it finds [20:16] blueskaj - I work on a windows network, and we have conficker... like 1800 computers and no idea WHICH ones are infected, but we know some are.

[20:17] great, thanks so much [20:17] Grawity: true [20:17] Younder: grep -rn syslogd /etc would be better, I guess [20:17] Where can I find kernel headers for 2.6.18? Please help! no one would answer me :( [20:18] mah2223: yeah by editing fstab. you can use pysdm application for helping you with that [20:18] how can i save my settings...after reboot, i lose internet and wireless functions [20:18] Younder: find /etc -iname "*syslogd*" is a more efficient way of doing what you stated. [20:18] hi. am i correct in my understanding that there is not yet support for vlan configuration via the gui? [20:18] puff: try this for google voice http://lifehacker.com/5349506/make-free-voip-calls-from-google-voice i havnt tryed it myself but i was about to [20:18] thanks a lot guys [20:18] the only other question is how to adjust the screen brightness with which ubuntu boots up when the comp is running from battery [20:18] hey guys! [20:18] purifiedmadness: Thanks. [20:18] i'm from chile [20:18] Roasted_, you should really be asking in #windows [20:18] mah2223: don't thank till you tried it :P [20:19] blueskaj - I know, but I found on google a lot of users were using nmap on linux to nail it - I just dont know how they did it [20:19] I belive the point here is to learn to use automated tools to find it [20:19] mah2223: as for brightness, there's the Power Management in Preferences but it's not specifically about bootup [20:19] not the exact method [20:19] what about grep -R syslogd * ? [20:19] which retruns insserv.conf [20:19] returns [20:19] Fenix|work: grep -R syslogd /etc, would be better [20:19] admittibly I could have tried it first [20:19] yeah i checked out power management [20:20] grawity, am already in /etc ;) [20:20] exactly, there's nothing about booting [20:20] you are a really lot of nerd's!

[20:32] nostalgicBadger, Ubuntu install is already pretty minimal [20:32] nostalgicBadger: you can just start removing packages you don't need need, like open office, etc. [20:33] nostalgicBadger, Can't say I'd recommend stripping it down further [20:33] !minimal | nostalgicBadger [20:33] nostalgicBadger: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [20:33] nostalgicBadger: or you could try debian , Ubuntu's older brother [20:33] Tartaros - that would be ideal, but then ideally, I would wipe the whole system and install Arch or something. Unfortunately, I don't have a device from which I can boot, so without borrowing my friend's USB drive (again), I've got to work with what i have. [20:33] when i update or add a pakage i have problem and this is amasege [20:33] http://pastebin.com/m278bc33 [20:33] So, no ideas about DNS? Looks like it makes mad my DSL router. [20:33] how do i add older repositories? [20:33] fl0pser: depends on what do you mean by "older", but if you upgraded say from 9.04 to 9.10 then the repositories are still there, just disabled. So go to the Repositories menu in Synaptic, or Software sources in Administration, and do whatever you need [20:34] hello, i have a problem with mounting an NTFS partition... [20:34] Is there a way to expand the panel into both screens? [20:34] nostalgicBadger, You can boot it from a CD if you don't want to use HD space [20:34] crazyspai: Make a new panel. Hold ALT and drag the new panel to the second monitor. [20:34] Also, I know there's a kernel mod for Arch designed to support only the hardware for the Aspire One, but I'm not sure if it works with Ubuntu. [20:34] expand? what do you mean [20:34] > [20:34] Leaf-sheep: Thanks [20:34] nostalgicBadger: sorry I don't understand your problem. But I would suggest starting by buying your own usb flashdisk, they're cheap [20:34] Younder - it's a netbook. no CD [20:35] please help me [20:35] Tartaros: I run ubuntu server 9.04 and need to ap-get linux-headers for version 2.6.18 [20:35] nostalgicBadger: could you not resize a partition , then make the partition into a arch isntaller? [20:35] Tartaros - yeah, I bought an 8gb drive the other day, but my netbook won't boot from it. it seems to boot from USB selectively, and apparently the one I bought is one it does not like. [20:35] How to get rid of IPv6 stuff ? [20:35] hi, i have a problem with the nvidia drivers in ubuntu 9.10 [20:35] what is the command to check for system errors [20:35] nostalgicBadger: Buy a USB. It's only 10 bucks. Give or take. You need one of your own. Use Ubuntu Minimal to install barebone. (No GUI) Then you install packages manually instead of using ubuntu-desktop metapackage.

Are you sure you're installing it right, and setting the bios boot sequence too? [20:36] crazyspai: Right-click on panel goodies. Unlock. And repeat, Move. [20:36] Thank you both.

[20:54] saji: whereas just using sudo -i would give me my normal initial shell (bash on this machine) [20:54] ahhh it finally feels nice to get with the times :P finally broke down and bought a 24" widescreen monitor, wow what a difference [20:54] ni hau [20:54] mohamad, | !ask [20:54] ubuntu has awesome font rendering :) [20:54] Hello [20:55] sorry stryker thats probably the best you'll be able to find [20:55] iam new user ubuntu 9.10 when i try add a pakage or ubdate system i have amasege [20:55] http://pastebin.com/m327e69f9 [20:55] Hi, how do I change the account picture of a user at the login manager on xubuntu? [20:55] lomez: grr I get mad cuz other people get it to work but I can't -.- [20:55] sqlite + lighthttpd + php + myadmin + drupal = easy? [20:55] probably not yet [20:56] Hi, guys. I'm on Karmic and need a working microphone. Can anyone help? [20:56] Anyone know how to optimize and accelerate the wifi connection , the access point is a little bit far [20:56] IrssiNoMerci, Can u please help me to solve a problem i have in mounting? [20:56] How do I propose a location addition to Ubuntu? [20:56] saji: just ask i have to eat soon but other may jump in to help, go ahead [20:57] Andorin: do you have the hardware? [20:57] balzac: Do you mean, do I have a microphone? ...yes. [20:57] Mattz: press F4 at the liveCD menu [20:58] Anyone know if there's a better channel for how to set up a bluetooth headset so you can voice chat with people? [20:58] Ta [20:58] hey everyone, I hope this is the right place to ask: I want to buy a MIDI keyboard to ease toying with ubuntu studio etc, but the last thing I want to do is spend $500 to find out it doesn't work in ubuntu yet. Is there a list of supported MIDI keyboards somewhere? Or should it "just work" because MIDI is a standard protocol? Please help [20:58] where are you my freinds [20:58] Andorin, ubuntu supports microphones [20:58] please help [20:58] Andorin: does your audio work yet? [20:58] Younder: I'd hope so. I therefore wonder why mine isn't working at all when I plug it in. [20:58] do you like my questions? [20:58] balzac: Yes. [20:58] Andorin, anything unusual about yours? [20:58] i send my problem many times [20:59] Migi32: It ought to just work because MIDI is standardized. However googling for "Ubuntu [model]" isn't ever a bad idea (I don't know of any midi keyboard compatability lists) [20:59] Younder: Nope, it's just some headphone/microphone headset piece. [20:59] reconect [20:59] Migi32: also check out the #ubuntu-studio channel- chaps there should be able to help you. [20:59] Andorin: so your microphone works or it does not? [20:59] k ty [20:59] balzac: Yes, to the extent of my knowledge this microphone functions fine. [21:00] IrssiNoMerci, I was copying a file to my NTFS partitions, then my laptop's battery was over, it got powered off... Now I'm unable to mount that partition as any user except root.... [21:00] Andorin, well ubuntu needs seperate microphone from sound output [21:00] hi - i'm trying to configure a program to build, but it cant guess my build type... I know I can say like ./configure --build='bla-bla' - but what is my system missing? [21:00] Hang on, I think I just got it. [21:00] can any one help me ? how to optimize and accelerate the wifi connection , the access point is a little bit far ? [21:00] Ever heard of this ? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7aaa1b5e [21:00] I had to switch input from microphone 1 to microphone 2. [21:00] saji: ok, sometimes a NTFS filseystemgets marked as "dirty" due to a incomplete unmount [21:01] Andorin, further it continues to send sound through the other channels. unlike windows [21:01] ^ [21:01] saji: were u using NTFS-3G to mount the f/s ? [21:01] IrssiNoMerci: what is your IRC client [21:01] Younder: I said I got it. I had to switch the input. [21:01] Andorin, fine [21:01] balzac: irrsi, in a screen, over ssh through a couple of routers haha [21:02] IrssiNoMerci, How can I know that? I just click the partition in NAutilus, and it gets mounted.. No idea about the internals... [21:02] saji: ok thats the NTFS-3G way then I think [21:02] drogba: You still there? [21:02] yes [21:02] saji: via fuse etc , 1 minute please [21:02] drogba: try (as question) something like: I'm using ubuntu 9.10. When i try to add a pakage or ubdate the system i only get E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libudev0_147~-6.1_i386.deb: subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status [21:02] yes [21:02] IrssiNoMerci, ok... [21:02] stryker, haha good luck man :) ive heard its sweet [21:03] saji: do you have Micro$oft Windows on the amchine as well? can you boot into windows and check the drive that way? [21:03] drogba: I know, I just pasted it together - but this way all people in the channel will see your problem, not only those who look into the pastebin [21:04] help me please [21:04] IrssiNoMerci: are you consternated about privacy? [21:04] if so this is not the place to be [21:04] balzac: no I have a mess of machines and cables here - rofl [21:04] IrssiNoMerci, I'm able to mount the partition as root, in Ubuntu itself, and it works fine in Windows Vista too... [21:05] I have a special security algorithm that keeps people off my servers who don't need to be there [21:05] My special package is called the "TBPB" [21:05] you can't find it on any repositories [21:05] ok [21:05] anyone ? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7aaa1b5e [21:05] it stands for "THE BIG PAYBACK" [21:06] Sweetshark: System>preferences>about me>*click the icon button [21:06] saji: OK, i'd recommend running the Vista diskcheck, is it checkdisk? maybe? , just becasue you shut down uncleanly. its a Miscor$oft f/s, so they know the real secrets :) [21:06] so that's why I remain unperturbed about running irssi on my servers [21:06] balzac, what does it do? [21:06] it delivers the goods [21:06] balzac, Now i am curious? [21:06] IrssiNoMerci, So no Ubuntu way to do things?? [21:07] it does it all, actually [21:07] saji: are you sure its not just asking for "sudo" style authentication to mount the f/s? I dont run NTFS you see, but I ythink maybe it likes you to be n admin user....perhaps [21:07] saji: but like i said, if it shut down uncleanly best be safe and check under windoze [21:07] !beer Billiard [21:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about beer Billiard [21:07] balzac, I wrote a tool called Thor a whie back. [21:07] !Beer Billiard [21:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about Beer Billiard [21:08] Younder: sounds like a nice project [21:08] saji: well, not really, you _can_ force the "dirty-bit" to be unchecked, but thats risky in theory [21:08] OFFTOPIC: Hey guys, I know I am breaking rules 1 and 2, but I've never watched "Fight Club". Would you recommend I watch? Do you think it's very good, meh or bad? Thanks. [21:08] !ot > sterlin [21:08] sterlin, please see my private message [21:08] sterlin: #ubuntu-offtopic not here [21:08] Younder: maybe you know the answer to this question [21:09] sqlite + lighthttpd + php + myadmin + drupal = easy? [21:09] balzac, It solves a differnt problem. Onion networking. You can look it up. [21:09] Anyone know how to workaround usb-creator format problem - it won't format -> wont's let me create the bootable usb.. [21:09] balzac: Sure! Anything is easy if you put your mind to it! [21:09] Younder: i'll check it out right now [21:09] saji: and as you say you suffered a power drop then that really needs a quick run over - will only take a few minutes. That way you can complain to M$ if u need tech support ;) NTFS had to be reversed you see, I dont think anyone got any help from M$ [21:09] Hi, I'm using nautilus-dropbox but I couldn't find any support channels for it, so I came here. Nautilus-dropbox is syncing it's own cache folder in ~/.dropbox, and since the files are always changing there, the syncing never stops. Does anyone know how to exclude folders from being synced in nautilus-dropbox (nautilus front-end for Dropbox)? [21:09] yeah, so i've noticed, leaf-sheep [21:10] saji: although NTFS is way better than the FAT f/systems, it's not what I'd call "robust" compared to things like UFS, ZFS, ext3/4 etc [21:11] Younder: that's some good software [21:11] Q is there a way to enact firewall rules based on an interface going up?( think drop all on ppp0 or tap0 interfaces and such) [21:11] UncleD ... [21:12] IrssiNoMerci, main plus of NTFS to FAt is the security aspect.... [21:12] Younder, did you give an eta on when oovoo will b out for linux? [21:12] balzac, It is :) [21:12] !ot | Younder [21:12] Younder: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:12] Younder: do you know of any software with a very minimal license? [21:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/318154/ [21:13] KnifeySpooney: as a longshot - press CTRL-H in nautilus and make sure u havent got the .dropbox one nested inside the ~/dropbox one somehow? [21:13] KnifeySpooney: I'm checkoing mine now 1 min [21:13] [AWAY] School [21:13] !ot | balzac [21:13] balzac: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:14] can someone answer a couple questions for me? [21:14] !ask | fasutus [21:14] :X [21:14] fasutus: 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. :-) [21:14] hi, is there some way to execute a script everytime i come back from suspend? [21:14] IrssiNoMerci: I know the .dropbox folder is in my Dropbox syncing directory (/home/dropbox/Dropbox) because I made a link for /home/jared (my ~) in /home/dropbox/Dropbox. I want my whole home directory to be backed up, except for a few select directories. [21:14] is there any way i can make the facebook prism auto refresh so i can see notifications automatically? [21:15] hi [21:15] hello [21:15] how can i delete a ubuntu partition in my hdd? i have 2 [21:16] primaries [21:16] is there any way i can make the facebook prism auto refresh so i can see notifications automatically? [21:16] carpunky_: you'll have to tell your problem *in* the channel, not everyone is going to read another pastebin [21:16] fasutus: that's an issue with the browser useragent, facebook will have to update that, or you'll have to modify it manually [21:16] guntbert, hold your horses. I am not breaking any rules here. [21:16] This is my scenario [21:16] I boot from the live cd.....I install the wrappers to get my wireless pci card running...Everything works great. [21:16] I install to a fresh hard drive, no other os on it. I have to install the wrappers again to get internet connection ( in order to install my driver ) [21:16] I run the update, everything is great ! However , If I reboot , I lose all my wireless devices...mouse, keyboard, pci network card etc..totally freezes. [21:16] carpunky_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:16] I reinstall from the live cd, everything is fine again. [21:16] Now, I have narrowed it down, if i remove the wireless window driver, everything will boot up fine...but i have to install the wireless window driver again to get internet up....so i am guessing it is a conflict with my wireless window driver. [21:16] fasutus: Use extension? [21:16] doh :P [21:16] Anyone know a working app (on Karmic) to create a bootable USB from .iso? So far usb-creator and unetbootin fail.. [21:16] leaf: i'm fairly new. how would i go abotu that? [21:17] rhkfin: what kind of iso? [21:17] KnifeySpooney: Ok, on my recent- installd dropbox, I have the .dropbox folder in my /home/username folder, and the Dropbox folder proper, with the green tick on it, is at that same level, so, maybe the ~/.dropbox got accidentally moved inside the ~/dropbox? thats all i can offer, sorry [21:17] fasutus: I looked up at prism. Looks like you could use this --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6665 [21:17] Younder: no horses here - but a lot of non-support talk from you :-) [21:17] Lycanow: Use gparted [21:17] sorry for that, new [21:17] rhkfin, how does it fail? [21:17] davidboy: it doesnt let me remove the partition [21:17] davidboy: do i have to do this from a livecd? [21:18] Lycanow: You can't do it from a livecd [21:18] acicula: karmic kubuntu 64-bit desktop [21:18] davidboy: [21:18] are you sure? [21:18] KnifeySpooney: (i do have a .dropbox >file< inside the ~/Dropbox folder, if that clarifies anything [21:18] guntbert, OK I'll try to stay more focused [21:18] what's the best method to do a clean install of a x64 system upon a 32 bit former install, which uses lvm?? [21:18] davidboy: you can't? Why wouldn't you be able to? [21:18] heu unetbootin should be able to do that for you, did you try letting it download its own iso? [21:18] Silent_Echo: usb-creator: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/469569 and unetbootin.. it just won't start, stops at loading 'unetbootin kernel' or something [21:18] Lycanow: Yes. Live cds are only for testing [21:18] Younder: :) [21:19] Only for testing? [21:19] IrssiNoMerci: See my last message, I changed my syncing directory to /home/dropbox and I made a softlink for /home/username inside /home/dropbox so I can sync my whole directory. I just don't want to sync a few directories in my /home/username folder [21:19] oh its broken? figures :P [21:19] is there some utility to quickly copy 500 gb from one disk to another? [21:19] davidboy: that is not true [21:19] acicula: please use my nick to highlight, too much other traffic :) [21:19] davidboy: by the way my whole hdd is formated as ext4. i made some space to install winXP, do i have to do a slow format or is a quick format enough? (cause it changes to ntfs) [21:19] acicula: yes, unetbootin SHOULD be able to do it.. [21:19] csaba, cp? [21:19] other than cp :) [21:19] IrssiNoMerci: ok understand now - yep: nighmare recursion - good luck ;) [21:19] rhkfin: its really quiet here tbh :D, after you set quit/join to ignore anyway [21:19] csaba: There are no "quick" way to copy. Most of the things get the job done. [21:19] guntbert: Can you tell me what a live cd is for then? [21:19] I think that just scrolled to fast, so I repeat: what's the best method to do a clean install of a x64 system upon a 32 bit former install, which uses lvm?? [21:20] Hello, I just did a fresh install of 9.10 from 9.04 and now I can't get the line-in to play through my speakers. Does anyone know how to fix this? [21:20] oops - lol [21:20] oh well, spent 3 hours to format the disk... [21:20] csaba: What is wrong with cp? ;3 [21:20] acicula: hmm.. agreed :) [21:20] csaba, you pretty much have to go though the operating system anyhow. === jussio1 is now known as jussi01 [21:20] rhkfin: dunno how to troubleshoot that problem really, guess something got broken, maybe revert to an older unetbootin version? [21:20] what textbased torrent client do you guys recommend? [21:20] sidewalk, rtorrent [21:21] excuse me how can I search for a certain directory in my system? [21:21] rhkfin: You got excellent internet speed? [21:21] locate find ls grep subichan [21:21] Lycanow: quick is enough, difference is only if file data is erased entirely or not I believe [21:21] acicula: don't know, I've tried various unetbootin versions along months and never succeeded to boot from an USB created by it.. usb-creator was ok but now in Karmic no success.. md5 has been checked [21:21] ShdwShinobi: does it handle crypto? [21:21] true? [21:21] subichan: find | grep dirname [21:21] boot.kernel.org maybe an option rhkfin , but dunno what they provide to make a bootdisk [21:21] Lycanow: if you want to edit the partitions they must not be mounted - so you have to do it from a live CD session - in spite of what david did say [21:21] locate? [21:21] leaf-sheep: image takes around 15 minutest to download [21:21] I have to install windows wireless drivers to load up my pci wireless card, to get internet connection, then once i get it, i have to remove it or my system crashes...any ideas ? [21:21] ok thank you [21:21] acicula: ah, interesting idea :) [21:21] what's the best method to do a clean install of a x64 system upon a 32 bit former install, which uses lvm?? [21:22] sidewalk, not sure [21:22] IrssiNoMerci: Ok :D but my main question is, do you know how to exclude a few directories from being synced? [21:22] rhkfin: I suppose you could zcat boot.img.gz to USB stick then plug it in. Install packages over the net. [21:22] rhkfin: weird that its broken at all, definitly file a BR about it [21:22] KnifeySpooney: nope sorry, just checked manpage etc , nuthing there - grrr [21:22] guntbert: look i have only 1 hdd. i installed 2 ubuntu versions in different primary partitions. now i want to delete 1 of the 2. what do i have to do? === m4v_ is now known as m4v [21:22] leaf-sheep: where do I find boot.img.gz? [21:22] KnifeySpooney: manpage just for the sync deamon it seems [21:22] what do you call this punctuation [21:22] ' [21:23] Hii Rooom !! [21:23] leaf-sheep: rhkfin yeah manually dropping the network kernel image + initrd on a stick with grub should also work [21:23] Does anybody know where pidgin keeps its preferences, etc? [21:23] Lycanow: if one of the partitions is not mounted, you can remove that with gparted [21:23] IrssiNoMerci: Yeah i was surprised when I couldn't find anything on Google for directory exclusion.. do you know if Ubuntu One supports this? [21:23] puff: .purple [21:23] I was watching this show how to catch pedophiles, any idea which irc server should I join to find these pedophiles? [21:23] anyone could answer that, how can I reinstall and re-use a former lvm setup? [21:23] !ot | csaba [21:23] csaba: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:23] Lycanow: If you want to then resize your current partition, you'll have to boot into a live cd, and resize it that way [21:23] partitionmanager is ok? [21:23] Lycanow, BTW use lvm next time :P [21:23] nowimproved, Its a "single inverted comma" i guess... :) [21:23] rhkfin: amd64 / i386 ? [21:23] leaf-sheep: amd64 [21:23] I want to create new ISO of ubuntu but with my own settings means when i will install it from my CD/ISO then it will install with my customize pacakges how can i do that ? [21:23] lvm? [21:24] saji, lol [21:24] acicula: Thanks! [21:24] rhkfin: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/karmic/ [21:24] blackxored: lvm? [21:24] BingO: well you can export your installed package list [21:24] hello [21:24] Lycanow: yes, partitionmagic should work fine, too [21:24] leaf-sheep: ok, thanks [21:24] rhkfin: amd64 --> Download boot.img.gz [21:24] Lycanow, yes, you get rid of partition resizing for life :P [21:24] BingO: if you made changes to config files you either have to put them in a separate package or modify installed files after installation [21:24] I just did a fresh install of 9.10 from 9.04 and now I can't get the line-in to play through my speakers. Does anyone know how to fix this? [21:24] KnifeySpooney: no I'm waaaay to scared to go to 9.10 yet, I'm form a BSD background so i generally take 18month haha [21:24] i have a directory structure like this: lesson1/,{audio,pictures} [21:24] leaf-sheep: acicula the reason for USB is - that the USB drive is broken on the laptop :/ [21:25] ShdwShinobi: the usual suspects, muted, volume on all the mixers up, etc ? [21:25] leaf-sheep: acicula I mean the CD drive .) [21:25] Ok, using the boot option xforcevesa gives me access to the desktop no bother [21:25] is there an easy fast automated video editor that matches files timestamps to make a video? [21:25] rhkfin: ah yeah sucks, === ascott_dt is now known as ascott [21:25] acicula, yep. they're all full. I can see the line in working. It just won't output to speakers [21:25] see what happens now that i'm installing it [21:25] what's the best method to do a clean install of a x64 system upon a 32 bit former install, which uses lvm?? [21:25] so audio long track (1h about) + pictures (say 10-15 pictures) [21:25] KnifeySpooney: aha!!! google "dropbox with rsync" [21:25] to make a video with audio+some picture? [21:25] acicula: i want to make my modified ISO which will install with that packages and settings meant set auto DHCP + install few mine select packages + grub thats it. [21:25] Anyone know how to set up voice chat? [21:26] acicula: what is kickstart configuration is it same thing ? [21:26] rhkfin: if you have a working linux install just dropping in the vmlinuz/initrd into (a separate!) /boot and adding it to grub should give you the same effect [21:26] KnifeySpooney: it uses the normal rsync --exclude stuff to pre-prep it it seems [21:26] arand: thanks, but I am on _x_ubuntu ... [21:26] I have to install windows wireless drivers to load up my pci wireless card, to get internet connection, then once i get it, i have to remove it or my system crashes...any ideas ? see full details http://paste.ubuntu.com/318154/ [21:26] BingO: dunno never tried, but i'd suspect ubuntu has a default way of doing what you are trying to achieve yes [21:26] Blackxored: well the best method is a reformat === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [21:26] Blackxored: It is a bit harsh but it will work [21:26] IrssiNoMerci: Ah ok, I'll try out Ubuntu One. Thanks! [21:26] BingO, when you figgure that out mind hitting me up with the solution? [21:27] hi i installed crossover linux 8 and office 2007. when i try to start word or any other application from kickoff it doesn't start, but when i start it from a terminal by ./winword in cxoffice/bin directory it fires up without any problem [21:27] BingO: just googled, looks like it, modifying system installed configuration files may be tricky [21:27] Younder, I have lvm chroots and snapshots, which I don't want to lose, I want to give it a try to the alternate amd64 to see if I can manage to lost as little as possible [21:27] Blackxored: but clearly 32 bit code on a 64 bit os is noo good [21:27] hmm, methinks the family have gone and put their downloads inside my documents. shouldn't have told it to import that >_< [21:27] BingO: as in dunno if kickstart can do that too, but it definitly looks like the place to start [21:27] Sweetshark: ah, no experience with kde on my behalf I'm afraid. [21:28] Younder, I want the installer to format only /usr, /var and / lvms and install over there, is it possible? [21:28] \list [21:28] Blackxored: from atransition from 32 bit to 64 bit you WILL loose some data [21:28] Younder, how's that? [21:28] Is there a package like "ubuntu-desktop" but for the server? Something that will pull in all packages that a default server install will pull in ? [21:28] Blackxored: the pure text bit's are fine. [21:28] pftop [21:28] oops [21:29] Younder, not really, just backup /home and if you have other stuff /var /opt if necessary [21:29] Younder, lost, enlighten me :P [21:29] frostburn, I want to backup lvms [21:29] yeah 32/64 bit has very little todo with how stuff is stored on disk === Dalila_ is now known as Dalila [21:29] det: Server?

[21:30] xen? [21:30] frostburn, I want to reinstall my system which is 32 bits to 64 bits to be able to work for both archs as a DD, so I can build from x86 and x86_64, but I want to keep /home, the lvm chroots, and all that stuff I've setup [21:30] acicula: KVM [21:30] I have an odd situation; I set up an ubuntu box for a friend's company. They need it to be very stable, they're using it to run some very intensive simulation calculations. But they also need gnome, etc. [21:31] i'm on Ubuntu 9.04 and i want to try kvm but "modprobe kvm-intel" doesn't work and "egrep '^flags.*(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo" return something but there is no kvm in this list [21:31] does it mean I can't use kvm? [21:31] TallJason: dunno about that, but there is a kvm support channel on freenode for sure ;) [21:31] They just called me; the head programmer clicked up the "update" icon and now they can no longer get in via outside gnome. [21:31] acicula: so I donwload http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz and untar it to usb and that's it? [21:31] acicula, I dont think it is a KVM issue, it appears to be a networking issue with Bridged setup [21:31] blackxored, it's possible, good luck with that, make sure you have backups [21:31] blackxored: i've never had problems with copying my /home between 32 and 64bit [21:31] acicula, would you have any idea how to loop the sound from input to output? I was able to use sound recorder to grab the sound. So it's just not getting output to the speakers [21:32] So, I guess what I'm asking is, should I have them on some special versionn of ubuntu (LTS?) so that they get important updates, but otherwise things stay stable? [21:32] ShdwShinobi: dont understand the question [21:32] acicula: it doesn't like the symlinks.. (pxelinux etc) [21:32] Hi, is is possible to setup an authenticating gateway? like OpenBSd has authpf? [21:32] Metaphis: if anything is returned you can do virtualization VMX is 32 bit and SVM is 64 bit [21:32] frostburn, acicula, I'm mostly concerned about the chroots, it's possible to make the installer to load my installed lvm configuration and then set it to format /usr /var and / only? [21:32] rhkfin: i think that will just contain the kernel image and initrd, thats what you need but you will still need to setup the stuff to get it to boot [21:33] puff: Seems like a sound plan to me. We've got a server thats running the Hardy LTS and hasnt been rebooted for two years except for when one of the HDDs blew up [21:33] aricula: he wants input sound directly piped to output (speakers) [21:33] blackxored, hmmmmm i think so, i'd have to test, i really don't use lvm [21:33] blackxored: i dont really understand what you are trying to do there and have not used lvm much, so dunno :/ [21:33] Tabmow, well? but why can't i activate the kvm-intel module? "FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.31.1/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko): Operation not supported" [21:33] <_marix> is there an easy way to delay mounting of some devices during bootup? [21:33] _marix: delay until when? [21:33] frostburn, acicula, nevermind, guys take a look at lvm, thanks [21:33] the (alternative?) installer understands lvm , but other then [21:34] <_marix> Billiard: delay just about 20-30 seconds [21:34] acicula, yes the alternate iso [21:34] acicula, but I want it to keep my lvm as it is [21:34] _marix: you could put the noauto option in fstab and run a script that waits 30 seconds then mounts them maybe [21:34] Blackxored: the allignment of data is different in 64 bit [21:35] Younder, so I won't be able to keep my lvm structure [21:35] Younder: on a filesystem? [21:35] ?? [21:35] i have 2 ubuntu partitions and i use a livecd to delete the 1st of the 2. both are primaries, but only the first has the boot flag on it. what should i do? [21:35] Mattz: Does LTS have full gnome desktop support, etc? [21:35] filesystems are architecture agnostic [21:35] puff: yes [21:35] Younder, Blackxored: Yeah, but MOST programs that do direct memory to disk conversions store in "network-endian" [21:35] Lycanow: what do you want in the end? [21:35] Blackxored: never tried, but I would think so [21:35] which is big endian always [21:36] acicula, the line-in isn't being outputted through the speakers like it did in 9.04 [21:36] what can i do if i want my parallel port beingt "polled" instead of "interrupt driven" (as shown in dmesg's output "lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).") [21:36] draconis, Younder, acicula I will test and tell you about my results on monday, there seems no other solution :P [21:36] Billiard: i want my 2nd primary partition. but it hasnt the boot flag on it. will it work? [21:37] you can set the bootable flag [21:37] how do i let my joystick be recognized [21:37] how do I run a gui app as root? [21:37] it isnt on default :( [21:37] I have to install windows wireless drivers to load up my pci wireless card, to get internet connection, then once i get it, i have to remove it or my system crashes...any ideas ? see full details http://paste.ubuntu.com/318154/ [21:37] MoTec, gksudo [21:37] i just choose to enable the boot flag? and thats it? [21:37] frostburn: thanks [21:37] or do i have to change anything more [21:37] Lycanow: you may have to reconfigure grub [21:38] Billiard: by the way i will install xp in a new partition now. so grub will be lost [21:38] I am creating a preseed file for computers we sell at very low cost. I am looking to make these machines as compatible as possible with as many filesystems, devices, phones, media players as possible. Here is my current package list http://wirelessimage.pbworks.com/FrontPage can you suggest any more? [21:38] Lycanow: after installing xp, you will have to reinstall the grub bootloader to boot linux then [21:39] then what? [21:39] what should i do about the boot flag [21:39] Hi, where does gnome keep all the desktop wallpapers that cycle? [21:39] Lycanow: why do you wan the boot flag? [21:39] Ok, new problem. No wireless networks show up under Wireless Networks when I try to connect [21:39] I have to install windows wireless drivers to load up my pci wireless card, to get internet connection, then once i get it, i have to remove it or my system crashes...any ideas ? see full details http://paste.ubuntu.com/318154/ [21:39] Any thoughts as to why? [21:39] Billiard: i dont know. do i need it? [21:40] Mattz try rsetting your router [21:40] sam__: why not just use the metapackage ubuntu-restricted-extras? [21:40] Router's fine [21:40] is there an updated Fluxbuntu yet? [21:40] I'm using it to chat right now [21:40] it hasn't been changed in ages === tad_ is now known as rrittenhouse [21:40] 0o [21:40] Mattz, posted this for you, is this what yours i doing ? [21:40] though dunno about legal issues when you sell it with that stuff? [21:40] Lycanow: windows is going to mess with all that probably anyway [21:41] acicula, got that, i also have extras. I am looking for additional packages [21:41] Billiard: ok so [21:41] Billiard: how do i set the boot flag? [21:41] sam__: oh yeah i see, didnt look right the first time :) [21:41] jut just this from partitionamanger? [21:41] Billiard: [21:41] Has anyone tried running Karmic without mountall yet? [21:41] carpunky: No, not that bad. I [21:41] acicula, not too bothered about the law.. [21:41] Mattz, I had to D/l the Ndiswrappers on a usb and install the driver manually then, and then i could get to the windowless driver [21:42] Ok on boot grub want's to take the lead and it WILL let you boot to windows [21:42] sam__: if you are selling stuff you probably should be, but we (ot) [21:42] Hi, is is possible to setup an authenticating gateway? like OpenBSd has authpf? [21:42] Lycanow: idk probably in gparted [21:42] carpunky, okey dokey, i'll try that. [21:42] carpunky, if it's PCI, get an ipw card [21:42] Lycanow: i dont think you need the boot flag set [21:42] If you wan't it the other way that requires some work, but that is doable too [21:42] Billiard: ok, do you know how to i fix grub afterwards [21:42] ? [21:42] after xp [21:42] Lycanow: yea, using a livecd and chroot [21:42] !dualboot [21:42] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [21:42] I am selling PC's for £30 to low income people in the inner city, not exactly big business [21:43] carpunky, I assume that's one of broadcom's drivers [21:43] look there [21:43] draconis, no [21:43] does anyone have any expireance in getting hardware accelleration to work in virtualbox (windows)? [21:43] Billiard: i have livecd [21:43] carpunky, what is it then? [21:43] Billiard: what else do i need? [21:43] how do you list files but omit directories.. in the current directory? (No-recursion) [21:43] chroot? [21:43] Billiard: what is chroot [21:43] how do i use joysticks? [21:43] draconis, Marvel [21:44] lovre: hardware acc as in vt or 3d? [21:44] carpunky, marvells are really flakey [21:44] acicula: don't ask, but usb-creator started to accept my usb.. rebooted (another don't ask :) - and MOUNTED the usb - and then started usb-creator....

[21:45] rhkfin: awesome, i'll stop asking then :) [21:45] at least it's creating the bootable usb now.. [21:45] Lycanow: you might not even have to use chroot, but i always do, it will allow you to work inside your partition after mounting it in the live cd [21:45] :) [21:45] acicula: excuse me? Im trying to enable directX by using Wine's OpenGL wrapper or something like that... So i can use Aero and other fancy stuff [21:45] draconis, Should i just by a whole new router and card....cuase it is like 5 yrs old [21:45] carpunky, there are some crude Linux drivers and firmware here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208088&highlight=88w8335 [21:45] Billiard: anyway is there any guide to fix grub after all this [21:45] ? [21:45] lovre: well i did install that stuff, but havent tried it out yet [21:45] lovre: 3D? tried and failed for me. [21:46] carpunky, but yeah, if it's that old.. make sure you get one that's properly supported [21:46] warum spechens zie deuche ubutto [21:46] i'm on an intel GM45 chipset, which is crap for anything remotely related to 3D still so [21:46] Ubuntu Server 9.1: How do I set up "shared physical device" so my virtual machines can connect to same subnet as Host? The default is for NAT, which I don't want. [21:46] Lycanow: yeah just google fix grub using live cd idk [21:46] btw [21:47] i moved my 2nd primary partition [21:47] to the start [21:47] works! [21:47] draconis, And how do I know...Im new to all this, i have learned so much in 16 hours..... [21:47] does this do anything? [21:47] Lycanow: i would use chroot then [21:47] hey guys, is anyone having problems with ubuntuone? [21:47] arand: did you install the program called WineD3D? [21:47] lovre: yeh [21:47] acicula: how did you install it? I cant get admin privileges any way [21:47] Jester05, works for me [21:47] the ubuntuone client seems to be eating my ram, using all of it in cache [21:48] Jester05, That is natural [21:48] Anybody here have a functioning gtalk voice chat set up? I'd like to try and get mine working and test it with somebody who has a known working setup. [21:48] lovre, drop to safe mode and install [21:48] Jester05: Then it's not eating it, RAM in cache is available for anything to use at any time [21:48] Younder, I've killed a bunch of apps and turned all but ubuntuone back on slowly and it seems to have been the one eating ram [21:48] How can I create a new menu in any panel in the ubuntu? [21:48] Jester05, That should not be a problem [21:49] prior to the last update of it it didnt take ALL of my ram [21:49] and it makes my pc uterly unusable [21:49] L2B: right click on the panel and add the widgit/thingamathingie ? [21:49] carpunky, you probably want a wireless card with "Atheros" chipset or "Intel Pro Wireless" [21:49] Jester05, oops [21:49] I have a question about internet security. [21:49] L2B, right click on panel > add to panel > select a menu [21:49] lovre: ah, no, I'm running ubuntu as guest as well [21:49] Jester05, That should obviously not happen [21:49] yeah i know [21:50] Jester05, Gimme some specs [21:50] !ask | ianyikos [21:50] ianyikos: 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. :-) [21:50] i have 4 gigs of ram and 4 gigs of swap and i know its taken at least all avail ram, i believe swap as well [21:50] specs on my machine? === MasterofPuppets is now known as MoPaway [21:50] draconis, Ok, Ty...one last thing, would that be pci or usb ..or what ?

[21:51] Jester05, that might be the problem [21:51] acicula: i have, but i still have 'access denied' !

[21:57] acicula: I don't want to open applications then open L2B menu [21:58] Hey ubuntu people! [21:58] There are a ridiculous number of people in this channel. [21:58] hi e-head [21:58] Younder, tho I do have a samba network share I can put anything I need to keep within the house on .. could just use dropbox for PC stuff when the laptop is involved [21:58] What is the state of read/write NTFS support in the *nix world? [21:58] LondonFog: run it again, and when the screen blanks, press Alt+Right or Ctrl+Alt+F1 to see if there are any error messages displayed.

[21:59] newbie here, how is pastebin used? [21:59] **BTW** everyone here should look into dropbox if you're running multiple machines, getdropbox.com [21:59] carpunky, this has a realtek chip: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833340009&cm_re=wireless_pci-_-33-340-009-_-Product [21:59] carpunky, rtl8185, which seems to be well supported [21:59] mrXX go to paste.ubuntu.com [21:59] draconis, that doesnt support n does it? [21:59] i installed desklets and when i try to add them to my desktopm it just shows a colored sqare. like the graphics aren't coming through. why do you think? [21:59] how do i make my joystick useable? [22:00] Jester05, I doubt it. otherwise he'd have to buy a new router to use the n [22:00] draconis, why in this day and age, wouldnt you want to future proof your hardware and get draft-n? === fer is now known as Guest83934 [22:01] Jester05, do you know any that support wireless n and have reasonably good drivers? I can't find any AGBN intel PCI cards [22:01] draconis, draft-n is already standard on 99% of routers so as soon as he replaces his existing he'll have the ability to use draftn [22:01] hi does anyone have some idea about wireless on karmic? I had it all working but recently it just decided not to and I can't coax it back into operating properly :( [22:01] i have an agn intel 5300, works ok, though N support is still crappy [22:01] anyone have an idea why my desklets don't show up when i add them, just a blank sqare? [22:01] draconis, I can look into it, i know the intel chipset for draft n is supported under linux [22:01] fax: i read somewhere, downgrading the kernel helps. [22:01] Is there some Applications menu-editing tool?? [22:02] draconis, Ty so much and will get that, but I still want to solve this....im just that kinda person.....what about this driver update http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverSearchResults.do [22:02] that sounds really difficult :S [22:02] Jester05: well supported yes, but working no :( [22:02] well not the last time i tried anyway which was a good 2 months ago [22:02] carpunky, face it to make that work... you are going to have to learn kernel programming [22:02] acicula, I have integrated wireless in my laptop and it works fine.. === slam_ is now known as slammer === slammer is now known as grndslm [22:02] fax: not really, i think u just have to install the previous kernel then edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:02] Jester05: it works with your access point you mean ;) [22:02] dayo do you neet internet to do that? [22:02] Jester05, yes but can you get one of those intel chips for PCI [22:03] or would you have to build your own PCI card? [22:03] fax: u would probably need internet to at least download the kernel [22:03] draconis, more than likely you'll have to go USB, pci is somewhat.. old tech [22:03] seriosly ubuntu cloud has put caninical software in a precarious situasion. The are now offerin propriatary servises for open sftware and i don't like it. [22:03] draconis, Ok. Well, i have come far, i guess that I better bow out...i appreciate all your help, i have been setting here for 6 hours and you are the 1st person who attempted to help me [22:03] how do i remove a device in ubuntu 9.10 my creative x-fi sound card has stopped wrking and i cant re install the driver [22:03] there is a list of well supported chipsets/cards on the ubuntu wireless page is there not? === diego is now known as Guest22227 [22:04] I'm trying to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my brand new MSI Wind U-123 through the use of a USB flash drive.

What do you do when the live CD gives you a login screen instead of taking you straight to the desktop? [22:19] xig: You misunderstand, I have to go. later means tomorrow. [22:20] i installed ubuntu 9.10 on my stupid windows xp, now when i boot into ubuntu i see the grub command line interface, i found this code http://pastebin.com/m2b474c7e on ubuntu forum which generally works but after booting i get an error: Couldn't find valid ram disk image starting at 0. similar issue on forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1320546&highlight=grub+command+line [22:20] Is there some *working* Applications menu-editing tool?

[22:20] rfmonk: well that happens when you go from a sytem that requires 10 fingets and a left toe to operate to something that just needs a few cliks to install [22:21] jetienne_: you can't, until they decide to add an option to notify-osd (which they are currently refusing to do) [22:21] Shu, "plugged in" as in USB? [22:21] draconis, I have no idea what you just said. I don't know what Karmic is, or 2.6.31 kernel [22:21] abhinavlal: you need an initrd? use a boot disk and make initrd or build your filesystem / chipset into the kernel [22:21] xig: feel free to restate the question here. I am not the only one. [22:21] draconis, yes [22:21] Shu, Ubuntu 9.10 is karmic [22:21] but it's plugged into this computer right now [22:21] lint, are you referring to : alacarte [22:21] Oh [22:21] I thought it was juanty [22:21] trism: why is it now in the middle of the screen ? it was top right on 9.04 ? [22:21] Shu, go get karmic then [22:21] Hi [22:21] i have problem to play encrypted dvd with many's, i tryed all. any help?

[22:22] jetienne_: thread http://www.mail-archive.com/ayatana@lists.launchpad.net/msg00741.html explaining the reasoning [22:22] Shu, yeah, you download a new CD and install [22:22] yes, I mean alacarte, it has edit buttons but they silently fail [22:22] abhinavlal: pastebin blocks my proxy [22:22] PeterBendtsen: check the forum link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1320546&highlight=grub+command+line [22:22] draconis, it takes weeks to get a new cd [22:22] gigasoft: you installed libdvdcss2?

[22:23] Shu, then you have to download the kmods by hand, compile and install them, and you won't want to update or upgrade from Jaunty [22:23] Im going to create Ubuntoob, video tuts for all the nuts [22:23] Ummm Appdb? [22:23] !appdb | Apocapus [22:23] Apocapus: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [22:23] trism: so for 6 months the notification will be buggy ? [22:23] Apocapus, google : winehq appdb [22:23] trism: i hide my opinion :) [22:23] draconis, that link you gave me, I have no idea what I'm looking at. You need to take me step by step. I know almost nothing abou tUbuntu [22:24] and I have no idea what you just said either [22:24] abhinavlal: i really dont care that much [22:24] rfmonk, your effort will be in vain [22:24] trism: notice that shuttleworth is even in this thread. manager must never impact tech stuff. only features. and im cto :) [22:24] Shu, I also don't think you have access to a sources tree [22:24] PeterBendtsen: thanks anyway .... [22:25] I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS [22:25] Shu: what is the probem? [22:25] Shu, I told you just to upgrade if you didn't want to have to learn how to build kernel modules [22:25] shu, it means you're not allowed to do any gardening [22:25] abhinavlal: use boot cd until you care to figure it out...i use lilo and never have any problems....and i dont use NTLOADER [22:25] and, if upgrading means mail-ordering disks, then do that [22:25] iceroot, one sec [22:25] trism: in short, this is just poor management :) [22:25] how do i recognize my joystick?

[22:26] yes [22:26] draconis, I can't wait a coiuple weeks [22:26] Shu: ok i will have a look [22:27] iceroot, I have to go eat dinner. Open a dialogue window with me if you can help, I'll be back in 10 minutes [22:27] PeterBendtsen: Even i dont use NTloader i did it just one and i am cursing myself for that [22:27] A guiding principle in Ayatana is to *reduce* customisation, not [22:27] increase it.

Moreover, I have little stars over almost all checkboxes in synaptic. Can anyone give me some help? I've search the web but found nothing. [22:27] soo, airtonix: how do i do that? xD [22:27] I have both ubuntu and mac on this but I can only go between them using the boot discs (both).. is there an eaisier way to choose which one to startup in? [22:27] Lint: somewhere in /usr/share/menu for starters, but i reckon that's not all [22:28] abhinavlal: so boot your unbutard with a bootdisk and see how many weeks you can go without rebooting...you will figure it out before you reboot........maybe [22:28] Anyone knows what a star in Synaptic's checkboxes means? [22:28] Shu, in order to get support for drivers not included in the linux source code, you will need to have a copy of the source code and the source code of the drivers. Don't freak out, you don't need to have any programming knowledge to compile and install the linux kernel and drivers [22:28] its complicated, but I just helped you ask the right question [22:28] diego__, are you using the wrong repositories enabled? [22:28] Lint: wrong repositories? [22:28] diego__, also try sudo apt-get update [22:28] PeterBendtsen: will try that [22:29] Lint: I already did sudo apt-get update [22:29] Lint: But nothing changed [22:29] abhinavlal: wipe your mbr, delete windows, install a new distro, etc... [22:29] oCean_: Lint: I don't think global settings would be the right way to go, should be settings for menu in home dir [22:29] slide, i mean for as start, what kind of port do you use on the computer to connect the joystick? [22:30] Lint: How is that about using the wrong repositories? How can I know that? [22:30] USB [22:30] arand: yeah, you're probably right. [22:30] airtonix: i dont know the type or anything [22:30] slide, what brand and model number is it? have you already tried using google and searching for : ubuntu [22:30] fax: yes, it's called a boot loader. you need to use one... ubuntu installs grub.. if you don't have a boot disk in whatever loads is due to the bootloader installed on your primary hard drive's active partition [22:30] i have no idea what it is :( [22:30] i can search it on DX... [22:31] diego__, open Software sources and tell us what's there [22:31] well can I choose which OS to start into when I turn on the computer [22:31] ? [22:31] slide, since it's USB... plug it in and open a command line console, then type : sudo lsusb [22:31] right now I have to put in the ubuntu CD and shut down and then use it to get into ubuntu.. [22:31] (which is a hassle to keep putting in these CDs) [22:31] fax: keep the cd in [22:31] slide, copy that info to a text file and keep it handy for later [22:31] fax, yes. If grub is properly set up (and it usually is) you will have a menu to select what operating system to boot up [22:31] fax: yes. you need to configure a bootloader.. either the mac's or ubuntu's and make sure your system is setup to boot to that bootloader [22:31] no there is no menua [22:32] fax: what happens if you turn it on with no disk at all? [22:32] airtonix: i found it http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.618 [22:32] Lint: Just a minute [22:32] don't you need a special bootloader for EFI? [22:32] MoTec it goes onto the one I was in last [22:32] either ubuntu or mac [22:32] hello [22:32] rEFIt [22:32] i thought mac was ubuntu [22:33] lulz [22:33] * PeterBendtsen ^5s airtonix [22:33] #laselfow [22:33] PeterBendtsen, it does have similarities at the CLI level if you have fink installed [22:34] well i dunno where to protest but in short, i would like to be able to read notifications. no matter what shuttle worth says, notifications are there to be read [22:34] fink different! [22:34] Lint: I noticed there that I had one repository for Intrepid there. I dechecked that [22:34] but Mac OS X is an operating system, Ubuntu is a distribution [22:34] PeterBendtsen, but even then it isn't really like ubuntu, just more like debian....not even then.. [22:34] isn't ubuntu an operating system [22:34] yes [22:34] no [22:34] 42 [22:34] 37 [22:34] fax: depends on your definition, but in general its yes [22:35] mandriva better? [22:35] Lint: I think ~/.config/menus would be the place to look, editing the applications.menu would override the global default I think [22:35] fax, ubuntu is a linux distrobution. [22:35] and if anybody says Linux is an operating system, they're wrong. [22:35] ^ [22:35] ohnoes [22:35] if anyone says ubuntu is linux, they're wrong. [22:35] when you boot up ubuntu it should have a grub menu. you can configure this to load osx, also. [22:35] ok this is too confusing for me [22:35] :) [22:35] is there a way to mount a host partition from the guest os in virtual box? [22:35] guys [22:35] How do I determine if a given isntall is LTS or not? [22:35] im not really smart enough to use linux [22:35] Is there a channel for ubuntu LTS?

[22:36] http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-dual-boot-ubuntu-gutsy-and-mac-osx-leopard-1051/2008/02/28 check that out fax [22:36] rictec: WROANG [22:36] fax: its an operating system [22:36] !ot [22:36] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [22:36] And is it possible to convert to LTS without major hassels? [22:36] could you people attend more to problems and fscking less to the holywar sh*t?! [22:36] so should I use Gutsy instead of Karmic? [22:36] puff: youu cannot downgrade to LTS [22:36] tem brasileiro ae ? [22:36] or downgrade versions period for that matter [22:36] it's got the grub edit you need to make.. something like adding: title Mac OSX Leopard [22:36] Lint: what problems [22:36] kernel (hd0,x)/boot/boot_v8 [22:36] fax: I find Jaunty to be very nice [22:36] PeterBendtsen, ubuntu is linux [22:37] ubuntu is designed so a grandma can use it [22:37] acicula: How would I detect whether or not a given box is LTS?

Could that be the problem. If so, how could I fix it? [22:37] PeterBendtsen, it's support channel, if you haven't already noticed [22:37] acicula: Okay, so if it's LTS it should show up in the lsb_release -a output. [22:37] fax ubuntu is indeed an operating system [22:37] 1622 people needing ubuntu support? [22:37] ah yes, puff lsb_release -a will tell you distro and revision [22:37] linux is just one component of the operating system [22:37] puff: lsb_release -a will give you release version, 6.06 and 8.04 are LTS [22:37] PeterBendtsen, so eveybody here are grandma lol [22:37] Then this box I'm trying to help my friend troubleshoot is not LTS. It like somebody clicked on the dist-upgrade button. [22:37] hi guys [22:37] im spoiled...i have no problems solving my own problems with linux distros [22:38] And upgraded it to karmic. [22:38] you could take out linux and replace it with hurd for example or solaris [22:38] hahaha grandma can use ubuntu ? [22:38] Since I'm pretty sure it wasn't karmic before. === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [22:38] HI GUYS!

[22:38] fax, i still run jaunty on my desktop [22:38] puff: some ubuntu versions are LTS versions, means they are supported way longer, but i dont think lsb_release adds that information [22:39] 9.10 linux as it is [22:39] if it works for you and you like it, you dont HAVE to switch right away [22:39] Hi, fast and easy question, what's the terminal code to install all java apps? [22:39] acicula: Well it's karmic, so. [22:39] i use jaunty [22:39] you still have a year of updates on jaunty [22:39] I need to upgrade my personal box. [22:39] But that's for later...

[23:27] kittyhawk: in your browser [23:27] tacone: it might be in the output of dmesg, or in /var/log/messages [23:27] I just installed ubuntu and it hangs at "checking battery state" [23:27] kasphn: there is a command line program mid3v2 to extract info from id3 tags, if thats what you want [23:27] and its a desktop [23:28] ? [23:28] zaoul: microsoft charges for it's software. [23:28] My BT headset seem to connect, but no sound is coming out. dmesg saying unknown SCO packet for hci0... any ideas? [23:28] zaoul: They can't possibly check the upgrade procedure on every configuration of PC imaginable, there's sure to be bugs. have you tried reconfiguring xorg with dpkg? [23:28] tacone isn't it this way to setup multiple sites 1)create a file in sites-enabled 2)edit the hosts file 3)enable the site [23:28] linxeh: looking there [23:28] billiard: does it make a single file or do I have to copy/paste?? [23:28] zaoul: do I have to add each printer manually then? [23:28] you would have to write a script to use it [23:28] kasphn: ^ [23:29] mrXX: no. create in sites-available, add the hosts entry and then enable the site [23:29] zaoul: there's a large number of them in my department [23:29] but it should kind of work even the way you did [23:29] did you restart apache ? [23:29] tacone could you please write me the simplest contents for the file in site-available? [23:29] wait [23:29] tacone plz see mine http://paste.ubuntu.com/318216/ [23:30] tacone i think my file has the problem [23:30] Billiard: do i have to copy the info from the console into open office for example?? [23:30] which usb modem router works best with ubunut? [23:30] userone, why use a usb router?? [23:31] kasphn: you could write a script to create a text file and probably even the pdf [23:31] mrXX: seems ok to me [23:31] usser_: no..a router which allows 1 usb modem to be shared with 3 ubuntu laptops [23:31] kasphn use imagemagic to make a PDF from TXT [23:31] mrXX: this is the simplest possible http://paste.ubuntu.com/318227/ [23:31] zaoul: I don't know what I did but they're all showing up in my print dialog now. [23:31] zaoul: thanks for your help [23:31] Billiard: writing code isn't my type of thing... [23:31] mrXX: you forgot to tell me what's the error you get [23:31] does anyone know the game that they show under ubuntu 9.10 features. it looks like a shoort [23:32] beeftube: ok [23:32] quitck commandline tool called convert [23:32] hello guys, q. trying to get vista machine to see folders on shared ubuntu folder, just setup samba, any help please ? :) thank you [23:32] tacone my problem is that i cannot get the second local host to work [23:32] hello everybody good nigth [23:32] does anyone know the game that they show under ubuntu 9.10 features. it looks like a shooter [23:32] I live in Turkey and Istanbul [23:33] mrXX: be more specific. what happens when you restart apache ? and when you try to visit the virtualhost [23:33] userone, never heard of routers with usb ports. your modem doesnt have a network port? [23:33] 9.04 wine & sound: I start a new X server with World of Warcraft over wine (ALSA configured) and I hear sound. Now I switch to the 1st X-Server, sound continues. Switch back to 2nd - no sound. Switch again back to 1st - I hear WoW sound. Any ideas, why sound suddenly only plays on the 1st server, instead of the 2nd one where it was when starting WoW? [23:33] is there a list of supported hardware anywhere? [23:33] ty_ try Urban terror, Nexuiz, tremulous, and true combat elite, all free, and all work in linux [23:33] all kinds of periperals that work 'out of the box'? [23:33] tacone i dont get error, the problem is i get redirected to localhost eventhough i type the next domain name [23:33] What permission flag (for entry into chmod) makes it so if you are in the file's group it will execute as the file's owner's user? [23:34] mrXX: try to stop completely apache and the restart it [23:34] hello people :) [23:34] mrXX: take note of the output [23:34] usser_: they have been available since 2006! just wanted to know which works best with 9.10, if any [23:34] tacone will do it, thanks dude , i will write to u later [23:34] How can I enable the root account for using it? [23:34] under vista's network and sharing, reads error message "SERVER" is not a valid host, guess that means that they cannot see each other [23:34] sudo su [23:35] they have the same workgroup but cannot see one another, just need a point of direction please, thank you [23:36] Saruji: can they ping eachother [23:36] tacone i get no error with apache but here is something different [23:36] tacone when i open my domain i get forbidden error in browser [23:37] tacone now the problem is something else, damn [23:37] so it works ! [23:37] tacone it says u dont have permission to acces on this server [23:37] try to create an index.html [23:37] tacone i have it already [23:37] Billiard yes [23:37] then check the folder permissions, make sure www-data can read it [23:38] or 777 the whole thing just to try [23:38] tacone will do that [23:38] Saruji: what happens if you type \\serveripaddress\ into windows explorer address bar [23:38] tacone do i put 777 infornt of the folders name? [23:39] no [23:39] mrXX: chmod 777 /address/of/your/folder -R [23:39] What does this mean? Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" [23:40] Im experimenting with Ubuntu Server 9.04, is webmin the only gui interface? Ive heard that the gnome/kde ones can be used but people kringe when I ask. Want to learn/play - not production. [23:40] Billiard says windows cannot find \\192.x.x.x try again [23:40] jolaren: when do you get this error [23:40] tacone chmod 777 /home/nabin/mysites/sheriffchaplaincy -R [23:40] Doorman352: gnome/kde is probably kind of an overkill for a server [23:40] tacone is that right? [23:40] Doorman352: webmin is not supposed to be an interface at all to ubuntu-server, it was removed for security concerns and replaced in the repos with ebox [23:41] dd [23:41] is it just me , thats totally incompentent and unable to configure sip in empathy? [23:41] mrXX: yup [23:41] tacone damn, again same error [23:41] ive installed the sipaddon, but i get no new account to add [23:41] tacone forbidden [23:41] Doorman352: You may also want to ask ubuntu server specific questions in the proper channel, which is #ubuntu-server [23:42] Billiard says 'windows cannot find \\192.x.x.x check spelling try again' [23:42] genii, Doorman352: this channel is fine for server questions too [23:42] tacone You don't have permission to access / on this server. [23:42] oh [23:42] Doorman352, Google ebox [23:42] didnt see a server channel in the list, sorry. [23:42] mrXX: are you sure there's an index.html in the main folder ? [23:42] Flannel: Well, we have a lot of overlap on helpers between the channels, yes [23:43] i'm sorry are server questions not allowed here? [23:43] Saruji: They are allowed [23:43] Flannel thank you [23:43] tacone yes dude, [23:43] So am I OT? [23:43] Doorman352: No. Webmin isn't supported though. [23:44] tacone i have to go eat, will u still be around? [23:44] does wired internet not work for anyone else [23:44] ? [23:44] mrXX: is the 'sherifchaplaincy' name share among any other vhost ? [23:44] mrXX: i dunno [23:44] see you after, or try to ask in #apache === andy is now known as Guest55287 [23:44] Billiard any ideas? [23:44] tacone i appreciate ur help dude, the other guy was a retard lol [23:44] Doorman352: as for other GUIs, you can install a lot of them, they're in the repos. But depending on what sort of server you're running, they might not be of much/any help. [23:44] mrXX: try in #apache. more easy to get help about that [23:44] Flannel: I was looking for something GUI like that is supported for experimenting with Ubuntu Server [23:44] Doorman352: Not really. But there are some questions which are specific to the server distribution which more help can be found in the specific channel (like web gui interfaces, how to set dns, email servers, and so on) [23:44] y doesnt wired internet work [23:45] tacone dude see my hosts file http://paste.ubuntu.com/318237/ [23:45] Saruji: can you access the samba shares on your linux smb://localhost i think should work [23:45] Doorman352, EBOX [23:45] Doorman352: for our purposes, Ubuntu server is just regular Ubuntu without a GUI installed by default. [23:45] andy [23:45] anyone know how to enable middle click touchpad tap on upper right corner? [23:45] I've burned two 700MB CD images with 9.04, but both times they end up corrupt. Opening them in a file browser shows them containing no files. Any advice on how to properly burn a bootable image? [23:45] Billiard dont know how to check that [23:45] mrXX: seems ok to me [23:46] Ja_cOp: what OS are you using to burn them? [23:46] Doorman352: so, if you want to experiement and are new, I suggest youinstall the 'regular' Ubuntu, and then play with the server stuff [23:46] tacone alright later dude, if u think u know the answer, u can pm me, see ya [23:46] should i switch over to xubuntu from xp [23:46] Billiard i can output my samba file, I tested the permissions, seemed fine [23:46] nihilogic, InfraRecorder on Windows Vista [23:46] Saruji: enter that into natilus address bar [23:46] Billiard ok [23:46] Guest55287: i would recommend dual booting if you can [23:46] Is there anyway to join an irc room without having to use the /join command after connecting, automate the connection [23:46] Flannel: How do I do that? I read the kernals are different.... [23:47] Anyone in here know anything about Jpilot? [23:47] is there a easy way to delete the linux partion if i dual boot [23:47] That depends entirely on your client acovrig [23:47] Ja_cOp: Try http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/Vista.htm Incorperates .iso burning into the shell. If it happens again perhaps your burner needs cleaning. [23:47] Guest 55287, I use GParted on a CD, you can also run it from a USB [23:47] it has a nice GUI and is quite easy [23:47] Thanks nihilogic, will try that :) [23:47] Billiard ok i can access all of the shared folders through there [23:47] irsii, or something like that [23:48] Welcome [23:48] Saruji: ok [23:48] i would have to run it from usb im using a netbook [23:48] Doorman352: The kernels are different, but their differences don't matter for your purposes [23:48] 99 [23:48] Saruji: and windows can ping linux box? [23:48] Guest55287, yes, but you'll need to deal with reconfiguring/reinstalling the bootloder for windows [23:48] Billiard yes, I figure it should work right? [23:48] Billiard figured* [23:48] jA_cOp: might want to make sure the md5 hash matches up with the .iso also, to make sure it isn't corrupt somehow. [23:48] ill just stick to wubifor now === Guest55287 is now known as smeags [23:49] Flannel: Im trying build equivalent servers in LINUX to my windwos ones, so will SAMBA, etc run on the desktop versions the same? [23:49] Yeah nihilogic, but first I need it to at least burn correctly enough to show up in a file browser I suppose :P [23:49] Is there anyway to join an irc room without having to use the /join command after connecting, automate the connection with ircii [23:49] is it normal that i try to copy some heavy files to my external-hard disk and it takes sooooo long? for example, a folder around 5-6 g many minutes to copy it... i know my motherboard isn't usb 2.0 but... i expected to be faster; how fast is usb (before 2.0)??? [23:49] is there any disadvantage to just using wubi [23:49] Saruji: i guess pastebin your smb.conf [23:49] Doorman352: Yes. Linux doesn't differentiate between "server" and "desktop" programs, they're all just programs. [23:49] acovrig: just google for it, it can be done. [23:50] is there any disadvantage to just using wubi [23:50] messiah, USB1.1 is only 100MB/sec [23:50] jA_cOp: you can typically download the md5 along with the .iso and run the comparison. Pre-burning that is. [23:50] smeags: Many [23:50] 100mbps I mean [23:50] acovrig: jA_cOp answer that already [23:50] Doorman352: You can install the full Ubuntu desktop on a machine you used the server CD to install, or just install from the Ubuntu DEsktop CD, and then add whatever servers you want to it. [23:50] Doorman352: (since you want a GUI) [23:50] Billiard ok thank you, one moment [23:50] mnaines, messiah69: i think usb 1.1 is 12Mb/s [23:51] mnaines, so... 5000/100= 50 seconds? [23:51] ah nihilogic, you meant checking the downloaded image. Good idea. [23:51] member:genii, wubi problems, like what [23:51] messiah69: I have no idea what you mean [23:51] jA_cOp: yep :) [23:51] Its easier for me to find and modify the configs in the GUI, haven found any gui tools to do anything yet. Webmin is really tough to use since it renamed everything... [23:52] mnaines, 5g= 5000M, isn't it? and this usb is 100m/s [23:52] <[]WACE[]> Hi there, anyone know of a solution for the Huawei E220 Dongle problem? [23:52] messiah, it is actually 12m/s [23:52] acovrig: You will bork your system if your Windows install is running on some raid system [23:52] I just installed a floppy disk drive but I cannot figure out how to format floppy disks. How do I do that? [23:52] acovrig: As a for-instance [23:53] Flannel: sorry that last one was supposed to be to you. Im just rtying to get the hang of the services and the GUI helps. Eventually ill not need it. [23:53] mnaines, seidos any other faster thing to copy? :D [23:53] Is there a terminal command to see which package owns a particular file? [23:53] TrueCrypt has been deleted due to FBI request? [23:53] genii: like what problems [23:53] rww: dpkg -S /path/to/file [23:53] r00to3: lol [23:53] messiah69: I use eSATA for external drives [23:53] r00to3: wat. [23:54] how do you whisper someone [23:54] Flannel: thanks [23:54] messiah69: there was a forum post about this. i don't have a link for you though, i just know i read it [23:54] r00to3: no. [23:54] r00to3: truecrypts license doesn't allow distributions to redistribute it. [23:54] smeags: /msg nickname yourmessagehere [23:54] r00to3: and the FBI doesnt have authority in the K [23:54] UK [23:54] Does TrueCrypt work on 9.10? [23:54] seidos, what do you mean [23:54] or any other country [23:55] smeags: If you want a categorized list of known problems with wubi, why not just visit the launchpad bug page for it, and also actually read the notes on their homepage about it's current limitations [23:55] seidos, about a faster way? [23:55] spanish speakers ? [23:55] I just installed a floppy disk drive but I cannot figure out how to format floppy disks. How do I do that? [23:55] private me [23:55] !es | nicetalk [23:55] hey, how can i download kernel-headers for kernel 2.6.18? Im running ubuntu server 9.04 [23:55] nicetalk: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [23:56] messiah69: i mean there was someone else who was complaining about the same problem, slow data transfers on usb hard disks. i don't recall a solution being presented. [23:56] seidos, but for example... 5000Mb / 10 Mb = 500 seconds = more or less 10 minutes; and it is taken much more than 10 minutes ;) [23:56] fl0pser: the supported kernel version for 9.04 is 2.6.28. Did you mistype, or do you actually need the older version headers? [23:57] 5000 Mb / 10 mb/s = 500 s [23:57] rww: nop I actully need older version. I'm working witha VPS server. [23:57] nihilogic, indeed my image is corrupt, redownloading now. Thanks for the help [23:58] seidos, and 500 s is less than 10 minutes ;) and it is taken much more than 10 minutes [23:58] I tried /CHANNEL ADD -auto #roomname network.net PasswordForRoom [23:58] jA_cOp: Welcome, glad to help. [23:59] hey [23:59] acovrig: you need to auto-connect to the server first iirc. [23:59] I did, /etc/irc/servers [23:59] Hey guys [23:59] anyone know how to enable middle click touchpad tap on upper right corner?
