I searched the image for the boot signature out of curiosity, and I found that it's all 0's...

[00:02] Billiard is there a way to kill firewall acitivty really quickly through command? [00:02] acovrig: There's an #irssi channel on this server that might be useful if nobody here can figure it out.

[00:04] i want that A and B is true [00:04] b0n1: logical and is && [00:04] Billiard i knokw i just have firestarter installed and even though I configured it, I thought maybe it might be blocking something, so "kill all" and test would help [00:04] ok [00:04] thx [00:04] Billiard in troubleshooting [00:04] so if (A=true && B=true ) right Billiard ? [00:04] I have a question... I installed karmic koala on my pc and now he doesn't boot up anymore... I already opened it and when I push the power button only the fans start moving a bit and the front lamp is shining very little bit. then the monitor goes on and immediately off again without showing anything.... and then this goes on ... again on off .... does anyone maybe have an idea what that is? [00:04] b0n1: wrong [00:05] b0n1: if(A&&B) [00:05] Effi: could be graphical config. [00:05] randomusr: if you are willing to "downgrade" to XP, I have a AMAZING script I found that automatically does all but 1 thing, It looks almost exactly like it [00:05] xp [00:05] billiard sorry to waste your time man, I just shut off the firewall and alls well thank you so much [00:05] Saruji: cool [00:05] Effi: when it powers up all the way try pressing alt+f1 and see if you get a login.

[00:09] smeags: Could be any number of reasons. The driver could not be installed, there could be no/little driver support, you could be using the wrong program or using the program incorrectly to find the connection/driver. [00:09] Effi: when it starts up do you see a BIOS screen? [00:10] What does this mean? Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" ? [00:10] sweetandy: or he could just forgot to plug in his network cable. [00:10] ;-) [00:10] I really need help with the installation of ubuntu 9.10 on my asrock ion 330.. [00:10] It has really gone out of hand [00:10] nihilogic no,nothing... the screen just makes the sound as if he goes on and the green lamp is lightning for a second [00:10] jolaren: when do you get this error [00:10] Effi: does it beep? [00:11] nihilogic no... it doesn't beep [00:11] Billiard: when trying to launch my nvidia-settings i.e [00:12] Billiard: I can't set up desktop extra's etc [00:12] Hey can I export my package list with apt? I saw a tutorial which used aptitude, I guess aptitude is just a front-end to apt? [00:12] Effi: that sounds very bad. Typically when you get nothing on the monitor at boot, no beeps and all the fans turn on, that *sounds* like a dead BIOS. [00:12] chu_: affirmative [00:13] jolaren: is the nvidia driver being used currently? [00:13] Hey folks - longtime ubuntu user here; anyone familiar with the server install? [00:13] Billiard: I don't know .. installed em off nvidia webpage [00:13] tbessie: It's easiest to just ask your real question, if anyone knows, they'll answer [00:13] jolaren: any reason you used nvidia webpage ones other than the ones in the package manager? [00:13] Done, 9.10-desktop-i386 burnt! [00:13] Effi: the fact that you jus tinstalled 9.10 seems coincidental. OS installs don't wipe a BIOS. Then again, I could be wrong since it's not in front of me it's hard to tell. [00:13] tbessie: chu_: apt and aptitude are front-end for dpkg [00:14] Billiard: Couldn't open startx when installung [00:14] leaf-sheep: No, apt-get and aptitude are frontends to apt [00:14] Flannel, Allright - question is: Ubuntu 9.10 servre install doesn't let me choose where I want the boot loader installed; it ALWAYS puts it on the MBR, without asking me. I need to put it on the Root partition, as I always have in the past. [00:14] jolaren: try: sudo nvidia-xconfig [00:14] Trying to do this without having to go through any difficulties - previous installers allowed me to choose [00:14] jolaren: then restart x [00:14] If I was only going to use the web interface of Deluge should I use apt- get deluge-webui???

I am getting Paused - "Backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf does not exist!" on 2 machines after online upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic [00:15] rww: what is the difference from the install deluge [00:15] Billiard: I did that [00:15] Nobody with grub install problems with the 9.10 server installer, then? [00:15] jolaren: any errors when you run that command? [00:15] <{g}> Hey People! I rented a virtual linux server yesterday and I would like to get some informations on memory, cpu etc. But everything i try "top, vmstat, /proc/cpuinfo" comes back blank or permission denied. any more ideas on how to get statistics of the machine?

[00:16] snuffy47: the "deluge" package installs the normal desktop graphical user interface. -webui installs the web-based interface. -console installs the terminal interface. They all depend on the deluge backend, so you can install whichever you want. === jaxdahl2 is now known as jaxdahl [00:17] do you get anying from cat /proc/cpuinfo [00:17] (said backend being in deluge-common) [00:17] centHOGG, Might only be a problem with the text-based installer on the server installer for 9.10 - 9.04 asked me where I wanted to install it. [00:17] tbessie: yeah, i like the lowfat install [00:17] centHOGG, I could try installing with the Desktop installer, then removing things; otherwise, I'm thinking of just going to the plain Debian release, or maybe even to FreeBSD (this is for a server, no need for GUI goodness) [00:18] tbessie: nah don't do that install desktop then remove things.... to much pain [00:18] tbessie: there's also an #ubuntu-server channel that might know [00:18] tbessie: FreeBSD is a trip... never really got too far [00:18] tbessie: go jaunty [00:19] Attention everyone, I need some serious help. Here's the problem: I have a Netgear WNDA3100 Wireless Internet Adapter, and I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my other computer, and I cannot figure out how to make it work on that computer. The other computer does not have any internet access what so ever. The items at my disposal: Netgear WNDA3100 Wireless Internet USB, and a 2GB Flash Drive. If you need any other information, just ask. P.S. Thi [00:19] s computer that I am on is a dinosaur, so it may not be up to par with what you need me to do with it. P.S.S. I need to be spoon fed here. I am completely clueless when it comes to technical stuff like this, sorry. [00:19] centHOGG, You thinik? Fewer problems? I've noticed a huge raft of updates since 9.10 got released. [00:19] rww, Thanks much, I'll check it out [00:19] tbessie: plain debian is ok but you will have to install all the essentials... takes a little time [00:19] centHOGG, Well, I'm an old Slackware user from way back; just got tired of compiling my own drivers all the time, that's all [00:19] ha [00:19] no kidding [00:20] centHOGG, aptitude is a very nice thing to have [00:20] rww: I did install the webui and I could not figure out how to config it. when I tried to login it gave me a huge amount of errors [00:20] Billiard: I have Nvidia driver: 185.18.36.. I believe there is a new one out [00:20] tbessie: yeah that and tasksel... lots of time savers [00:20] i have a question, and i can't find a decent answer anywhere [00:20] tbessie: I like lxde for light stuff [00:20] i have a crapload of .tif images...is there a way to convert them quickly into 1 .tif image? [00:20] centHOGG, Well, thanks much! I'll move on to the server channel and ask a few questions there - good luck! [00:20] nihilogic sorry ... you said it could be my graphics card? but the fan on it works good ... and why doesn't he recognize my keyboard then? [00:20] and not multi-page...just 1 long-ass image? [00:21] tbessie: yeah i'll meet you there :) [00:21] i tried cptiff, but it makes multi-page tiffs [00:21] shu is the adapter on the system tahts giving you troubles? or on the other system? === Guest25077 is now known as Effi [00:21] Again... Does someone know how to switch to the xfce4-terminal font "monospace" using jEdit?

[00:22] tommynz1975, I'm on this computer, which is Ubuntu, and I'm actually using the usb wireless adapter I'm talking about [00:23] but do you think it could be the power adapter?

I am trying to fix a problem with xdmcp in ubuntu karmic. One bug report ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/408417 ) seems to indicate that switching to kdm should fi xit. [00:24] So, two questions, 1) is this a sane thing to do if I'm not otherwise using kde, and [00:24] 2) will installing kdm via apt do the trick, or do I need to slog to the data center and do it on the console GUI? [00:24] hmmm ok just an update for those with a black screen with a box with *max resolution is 1280*1024 @60hz* with an ati card.... [00:24] Package libswt3.2-gtk-java has no installation candidate [00:24] wtf? [00:24] rww: I just uninstalled. I will reinstall webui and paste [00:24] no, tommynz1975, I want the other computer to work with the usb wireless adapter that's plugged into this computer right now === MoPaway is now known as MasterofPuppets [00:25] Billiard: Im reinstalling the driver. It said it was already installed so im over reinstalling it.. but when i open nvidia-settings it says i have annother version installed [00:25] Billiard: What does that tell you [00:25] sudo aticonfig --resolution=0,1280*1024 seem to resolve the problem after a reboot [00:25] c3l: try libswt-gtk-3.5-java ? That looks to be the version packaged for karmic. [00:25] nvidia-settings says you have another version of what installed [00:26] rww, oh. i had no idea. an app depended on libswt3.2-gtk-java. well thanks [00:26] Billiard: correct [00:26] Is there a way to set my default status in Empathy to be Hidden?

[00:31] luis_: are you able you save it in another format? [00:31] Shu: you're on the internet right now [00:31] s/you/to/ [00:31] leftyfb: where can i check the menu list, before reboot? [00:31] Could I still use my user account if I install Ubuntu 9.10 on my system partition? [00:32] Shu: download and burn the iso on the computer you're on now [00:32] jolaren: I prefer it, yes :) [00:32] I have /home in another partition. [00:32] lstarnes: u mean export?! [00:32] shu I understand now, and are you hard wired to the router? from this other pc [00:32] And by install, I mean, not upgrade. [00:32] leftyfb, this computer can't burn [00:32] lstarnes: how i do the export of only the choose part with the rec button? PLS IS URGENT T_T [00:32] Hey guys.

[00:32] export to mp3 with audacity* [00:32] I cant install iriverter. problems with dependencies it says. running karmic 64x how do I fix it? or is it serverside withe incorrect dependencies? [00:32] PROJECT STARTS IN 6 MINUTES [00:32] luis_: can you export it to another format? [00:32] Shu: you have absolutely no way of burning a 9.10 cd? [00:32] YES! [00:32] MP3! [00:33] jolaren: you'd install it by installing the "gnome-do" package and then following the instructions on the gnome-do wiki (first result for "docky gnome-do" on Google; I don't have web access, so can't link it...) [00:33] luis_: can it be exported to anything that isn't mp3? [00:33] thanks. guess I have to do some work now. [00:33] leftyfb, I think I might be able too... [00:33] luis_: you might need to have the right libraries installed [00:33] Ok re-install time! [00:33] Shu: highly suggested .. especially for wireless issues [00:33] Hello all [00:34] Salvad1: yes, you can. Just don't format the /home partition and mount it as /home [00:34] I have a kde and gnome question. We installed the server version, then installed the gnome dekstop stuff because ti turned out they needed to use a graphical debugger on that machine. [00:34] ok shu. when you put the wirelss adapter into this other pc, what comes up when you put into the terminal iwconfig [00:34] Thanks for the response. [00:34] rww: I will try that out [00:34] And then wein stalled kde because the main programmer wanted KDE instead of Gnome. [00:35] tommynz1975, I'll have to come back, since I'll have to unplug it from this computer to do that [00:35] luis_: make sure that the lame and libmp3lame0 packages are installed [00:35] okay tommynz1975? [00:35] *pulls a ticket number and waits inline* [00:35] tommynz1975: you're going down a long road of hurt trying to help someone install wireless drivers with no internet. Easiest to at least get the latest version of ubuntu on there first which will more than likely have supported drivers for it [00:35] sezotove: if you have a support question, go ahead and ask it. if someone knows the answer, they'll let you know [00:35] rww: Does it look as cool as awn and cairo? seems kinda lame! [00:36] gnome-do is great. rww is refrering to the docky aspect of it [00:36] jolaren: It has the benefit of working properly, which AWN and Cairo never did for me ;P [00:36] but docky looks pretty much the same as AWN and Cairo screenshots [00:36] Can't seem to get my 3d cube workin [00:36] jolaren: I use awn for my dock and gnome do for my quick access [00:36] jolaren, rww, gnome-do will be seperating docky into a standalone package soon [00:37] Hamachi isnt more for Ubuntu why ? [00:37] alright, Im trying to get my mic working, i have read up alot on it and still can not get it to work. I have checked in the volume control and its not muted, theres just a ton of static, the sound card is on an ECS GF8200A mobo [00:37] airtonix: oh, good. That'll alleviate some confusion :) [00:37] ard1an: ask the Hamachi project [00:37] lstarnes: u didnt understand me [00:37] leftyfb, yes you are right.... or shu short option is take the pc downstairs and hard wire it to the router. and plug the wirless in. Has shu said whats running on the other pc? [00:37] just wanna know what button i click to export the rec to mp3 [00:37] thats all [00:37] rww, jolaren my only gripe with docky is that it requires a compositing desktop for it to work nicely, (it works but the compositing makes it work much nicer) [00:38] is anyone familiar with the encoding system on linux user passwords? [00:38] Is it only me who thinks that a drunk girl friend is nothin more than a pain in the ass? [00:38] airtonix: indeed. docky thankfully works with metacity compositing, though, so one doesn't need the compiz overhead [00:38] jolaren: not the place for that [00:39] jolaren: this channel is for support only, and in general, discussing drunk girlfriends in #ubuntu* channels isn't a great idea :) [00:39] Haha [00:39] luis_: try file > export..., then select a filename and select "mp3 files" from the format list [00:39] luis_: it should be below the file list [00:40] I need to encode a password and place it in the shadow file... [00:40] Hey guys. I purged pulseaudio and now I don't have ANY sounds. alsamixer returns: ALSA lib pulse.c:229:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Connection refused I also removed the .asoundrc file [00:40] myron: that's not how it works [00:40] myron: use: sudo passwd [00:40] I know you can use the passwd utility, but I am dealing with a particular case where I don't have it and can't get it [00:40] !karmic [00:40] Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is the current release of Ubuntu.

[00:41] passwd is not installed, useradd and userdel are not installed... and there is no compiler on the system [00:41] jefinc: I recommend backing up your files and installing 9.10 from scratch [00:42] myron: then you're not running ubuntu [00:42] Where does Karmic store the links to the PPAs when we add them using the new way. ppa:bla/bla [00:42] true... [00:42] rashed2020: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [00:42] rashed2020: same place as always: [00:42] ^^ [00:42] :) [00:42] Upgrading from 8.10 using synaptic caused a freeze for me after logging in :( [00:42] When I run the terminal emulator inside the GNOME GUI, I want the same font that I get from before any GUI is loaded, how do I get that font? [00:42] Which is why i'm installing from scratch... [00:42] are there packages in the repositories for Go compilers? [00:43] jA_cOp: back up your files and install 9.10 from scratch [00:43] jA_cOp: for the record, Synaptic is not the supported method for upgrading Ubuntu [00:43] Owwh. Cuz I couldn't find them in /etc/apt/sources.list What's the difference between them? [00:43] yeah leftyfb [00:43] for anyone who doesn't know, Go is a new programming language by Google [00:43] !upgrade | jA_cOp [00:43] leftyfb: that's my plan, /home and / are separate partitions :) but I'm not sure 9.10 is ready... [00:43] jA_cOp: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [00:43] http://golang.org/ [00:43] !ot [00:43] Znupi: no, there aren't. Considering Go is newer than Karmic, that's highly unsurprising :) [00:43] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:43] really google has a prog lang? [00:43] Or could you at least tell me what it is called? [00:44] rww: thought so, so they never introduce new packages? [00:44] not even in backports? [00:44] oh rww... Synaptic had a big "upgrade" button so I just clicked it. Stupid me. [00:44] Znupi: it JUST came out this week [00:44] :( [00:44] rashed2020: apt looks in both /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ when getting sources. sources.list.d is used for stuff like medibuntu or third-party PPAs when they're added programmatically by software. [00:45] I installed gnochm but it closes after few seconds :S on ubuntu 9.10 x64, any idea please? [00:45] hey guys, I'm having problems getting the wireless on a toshiba laptop working (it's an Equium P200-1ed), I've tried "ath5k" drivers but the wireless interface doesn't appear, any ideas? [00:45] rashed2020: in effect, there isn't a difference, but using sources.list.d makes it easier for programs to remove repositories they've added. [00:45] Enissay: run it from a terminal to get the error [00:45] hi all === gerald is now known as Guest32170 [00:45] i have a question regarding rhythymbox [00:45] There's this stripe crossing my AWN dock.. Its really ugly.. Anyone else experiencing that? [00:46] I can use alsa mixer however when I try to use System->Preferences->Sound it hangs at "Waiting for sound system to respond".. anyone able to help [00:46] does it restructure my library by default? [00:46] hmm [00:46] Guest32170: "restructure" meaning moving files around? [00:46] howdy, y'all. I've got a problem somebody might be able to solve... Contact me via my AIM name, nintendude947 [00:46] Thanks [00:46] rww, yeah i habe my all music sorted the way i want it already [00:47] Can one create custom screensavers for Ubuntu? [00:47] nintendude794: you can just ask your question here, not many people will be willing to contact you on aim [00:47] Guest32170: I use it, and I don't think it's ever moved any of mine around. [00:47] Where can I locate packages that I have downloaded, and installed. Can I burn them to a CD for use later if needed? [00:47] "Go compilers support two operating systems (Linux, Mac OS X)" [00:47] I love them [00:47] alright, Im trying to get my mic working, i have read up alot on it and still can not get it to work. I have checked in the volume control and its not muted, theres just a ton of static, the sound card is on an ECS GF8200A mobo [00:48] greezmunkey: /var/cache/apt/archives [00:48] okay I can not find enough help docs for deluge I need direction on what torrent to use on a headless server. It will need a web type interface and will need to update private trackers. Only used for downloading and seeding [00:48] !ot | Znupi [00:48] Znupi: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:48] !aptoncd | greezmunkey: for CD stuff [00:48] greezmunkey: for CD stuff: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [00:48] rww, i only ask because there is no option to turn library restructure on / off in the preferences like in banshee [00:48] snuffy47, does it have to be a web interface? [00:48] no [00:49] rww, cool, what about part 2...I see, excellent! I'll try it! [00:49] snuffy47, rTorrent started via a screen session running over ssh [00:49] greezmunkey: that's the "aptoncd" package, btw [00:49] just as long as all processes are on the server [00:49] where did the 64bit 9.10 version go? [00:49] what about windows [00:49] gpled: went nowhere [00:49] airtonix: what about on windows [00:49] www.ubuntu.com gpled [00:49] airtonix: what from windows [00:49] only offers 32 bit [00:49] snuffy47: what about it? [00:49] snuffy47, 1. ssh to server 2. start screen 3. (inside screen) run rTorrent. 4. operate rTorrent 5. close ssh session [00:50] gpled: there's an option on it for the 64-bit version. [00:50] gpled, check carefully, its there [00:50] rww, I am planning to (got that) reinstall this system. It is currently set up to dual boot, but the kernel is a bit bloated, so I want to streamline things a bit. [00:50] snuffy47, you'd use putty to ssh to your linux bos [00:50] snuffy47, box* [00:50] snuffy47, screen is a session manager for the command line [00:51] snuffy47, http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/05/04/command-line-multitasking-with-screen/ [00:51] must be behind some flash or a popup [00:51] I cant install iriverter. problems with dependencies it says. running karmic 64x how do I fix it? or is it serverside withe incorrect dependencies? [00:51] hey guys [00:51] I can use alsa mixer however when I try to use System->Preferences->Sound it hangs at "Waiting for sound system to respond".. anyone able to help [00:51] rww, I have no done an install from CD, will I get an oppertunity to customize the kernel on setup, or do I have to make install? [00:51] airtonix: what from windows [00:51] opps [00:51] Any chance someone could help me to install vdpau? I've found the ppa, but don't know how to use it. [00:51] snuffy47, i used to have a low power linux machine sitting under my bed with this setupt for doing torrents [00:51] even a walk through link would be good [00:52] I believe I may have found a bug with the interaction between printf and pthreads on ubuntu 9.10, anyone interested? [00:52] snuffy47, yes to manipulate the rTorrent session on the linux machine from windows you login to the linux machine via ssh using putty on windows [00:52] this fails: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [00:52] I'm running Karmic amd64... [00:52] rww: I agree, Gnome-DO = Much better [00:52] Nevermind... Umm, I recently installed Ubuntu NetBook Remix to my MacBook via Apple's Bual Boot utility, Boot Camp, and while the Volume keys on my Mac Keyboard work, the brightness adjusting ones don't work. Is fixing this possible? [00:52] will get it from a mirror [00:52] hi guys [00:53] snuffy47, you're other option is to use transmission which also has a gui, a cli and a web interface [00:53] I have this error: scsi 5:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device [00:53] airtonix: and rtorent has no problems updating private trackers? [00:53] whats this mean "gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for playback." [00:53] gpled, see choose a version? to the right is choose an architecture [00:53] airtonix: looking for the best option with the most help [00:53] bazhang: nope [00:53] snuffy47, i'm not exacty sure what you mean by "updating private trackers" [00:53] EXT3-fs error (device sdb2): ext3_find_entry: reading directory #2 offset 0 [00:53] rww, that's ok, I'll look around for a description of the CD install option. Thanks! (aptoncd, that is!) [00:53] how can I fix this problem? [00:54] airtonix: for sites that have upload requirements [00:54] greezmunkey: sorry, was afk. Ubuntu doesn't have an option to customize the kernel during installation. [00:54] !kernel | greezmunkey: custom kernel instructions [00:54] greezmunkey: custom kernel instructions: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [00:54] Alternative download options, including Ubuntu installer for Windows click that gpled [00:54] snuffy47, rtorrent homepage : http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ [00:54] airtonix: is transmission better the rtorrent? [00:55] site fails: http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu-releases/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso [00:55] rTorrent is the best for headless server [00:55] omg [00:55] jolaren: glad you like it :) [00:55] you should not have to hunt for stuff [00:55] rww How do I edit gnome-do? I managed to make all icons alot bigger [00:55] gpled, I just showed the link to click [00:55] rww, really...I wanted to remove support for devices I dont have on my system. It seems that the kernel loads a lot of stuff on boot that I don't / need. [00:55] How does one effectively search a 4000 page man file? [00:55] bazhang: paste the url please [00:55] im already 20% done [00:56] randomusr: press the / key, type the term to search for, then press enter [00:56] randomusr: ... 4000 pages? [00:56] randomusr: which manual is that? [00:56] jolaren, mouse over the seperator between the icons and the clock, should change your cursor to an up/down image [00:56] greezmunkey: really. I believe the thinking is that custom kernel compiling is somewhat outside of Ubuntu's scope. [00:56] Chousuke; friggen smb.conf [00:56] jolaren, then click drag up and down to resize the icons sizes [00:56] * greezmunkey wonders if it's worth it to break a perfectly well running system for a few drivers and such [00:57] greezmunkey: no, it's not. [00:57] what would be the correct way to change grub2 splash image - is it editing the 05_debian_theme script...? or should I copy it and add as a custom one, having changed the filename inside? [00:57] Yes, man smb.conf is a *large* amount of reading to sift through [00:57] airtonix: Worked fine.. Can I customize it to let's say hide behind windows? [00:57] greezmunkey, the old wifes tales that custom compiling and removing devices to increase speed is long dead. The kernel is modular you will see an unmeasurable speed increase once you are all done. [00:57] greezmunkey: i want to fix gnome-power-manager so that my laptop shuts down, but it isn't feasible. maybe you should consider another project? [00:57] jolaren, right click the purple icon on the far left [00:57] greezmunkey: You like breaking things, huh? :) [00:57] rww, lame [00:57] snuffy47: Try rutorrent ( http://code.google.com/p/rutorrent/ ), web frontend for rTorrent [00:57] jolaren, -> preferences [00:58] found it. someone needs to go back to website design 101 [00:58] jolaren, unfortunately my config interface is in hindi or tamil... [00:58] How can I search for a number of Lines N man smb.conf | grep something something something? [00:58] I was compling slackware lernels for years... I tried really hard to convince myself it was "faster afterwards" ... at least it made me look more hardc0re [00:58] rot: reading my brains out I just want to make sure I pick the right one as Deluge failed and cost me days to read [00:58] Hey [00:58] kernels* [00:59] greezmunkey: considering that most of the really unnecessary stuff is compiled as modules, rather than into the kernel, there really isn't much of a performance benefit from custom compiling one. [00:59] snuffy47: I'm running rtorrent 24/7 and I've never had a problem with it. [00:59] airtonix: Aight :) [00:59] kernels....popcorn...yum. [00:59] test [00:59] DivineEntity: that's interesting. it is counter-intuitive that a custom kernel would have no measurable speed increase than the alternative [00:59] sekyourbox: Test failed [00:59] snuffy47: Out of curious, what happened with you and deluge? [00:59] rot: okay going to try rtorrent and the ru thing do you have a recommendation on a how too [00:59] whats the deal with this crash report in 9.04 when my laptop sleeps? [00:59] All right...You've convinced me on this machine at least. I'm gonna play with my trash box though! [01:00] Is there a way to set my default status in Empathy to be Hidden? [01:00] hey, I have a question for you guys. I have an external disk that I am trying to open up the permissions for to utilize with a program. The permissions are drwx------. When I chmod the drive, nothing seems to happen. Am I missing something? [01:00] PriceChild: go go PriceChild, clean that banlist :) [01:00] lead-sheep: cant find enough info to help a noob to setup [01:00] gdiz, ntfs? [01:00] DivineEntity: but considering you are in all likelihood correct, if it is indeed modular, what does this mean, and how are modules loaded/unloaded or completely removed (if possible)? [01:00] snuffy47, why dont you just run it through the terminal? [01:00] usser, let me check [01:00] lead-sheep: tried to give it a go and peeps say its the best but I need help [01:00] Why do we clean banlist occasionally? ;o [01:01] snuffy47: The wiki has the info you need. Personally I don't use the web frontend but I know a lot of people who do. I just stick with plain ol rTorrent :) [01:01] seidos, great question iow how does it really work? [01:01] friggen like error reporting in windows [01:01] usser, FAT [01:01] snuffy47: I see. What issues are you having? Deluge is the closest thing you can get... for uTorrent [01:01] usser, does it have to be NTFS? [01:01] leaf-sheep: because the banlist gets full. [01:01] gdiz, you have to mount it with uid=something,gid=something [01:01] mmm, so I should just blacklist every module I absolutely don't need...? [01:01] gdiz, where uid and gid are that of your username [01:02] lead-sheep: well I installed deluge-webui and that is as far as I got [01:02] usser, I am not sure I know what you mean by "uid" and "gid" [01:02] Can I delete everything in /var/cache/apt? [01:02] whats the deal with this crash report in 9.04 when my laptop sleeps? [01:02] greezmunkey: good idea [01:02] rww: Microsoft have 20M Xbox-Live subscribers. 1M with banned consoles! That's 1 out of every 5! :0 [01:02] i close the laptop to suspend [01:02] greezmunkey: how do you get a list modules? [01:02] Nvm, found the answer to that one. [01:02] bqh I like xchat better than this [01:02] bah [01:02] and i get a crash report [01:02] seidos, there's my project! :) [01:03] seidos, they jsut aren't loaded.. the kernel probes your system at boot, loads the moduals required. if you pluggin in a device while running hotswap/kernel will load the modual at that time and unload when your remove it [01:03] gdiz, when you mount the drive, you can specify mount options with -o uid=1000,gid=1000 [01:03] lead-sheep: couldnt figure out how to configure and after theinstall I tried http://192***:8112 and it states page cannt be displayed [01:03] rashed2020: the correct way to do it is "sudo apt-get clean" [01:03] sekyourbox: Link to this crash report dealie? [01:03] seidos, I was planning to look through dmesg first, then go from there [01:03] usser, could you walk me through that? how do you do that? [01:03] in order to view share from windows, does filesharing need to be turned on in the windows client? [01:03] this is to access SMB [01:03] random, yes [01:03] DivineEntity: so the proper question is how do you custom compile a kernel that doesn't probe your system at boot? [01:03] leaf-sheep: no it's not, it's 1 out of every 20 :P [01:03] gdiz, how did you mount the partition in the first place? [01:03] I cancelled out of it. It happens when the computer suspends. how do I access it? [01:04] lead-sheep: I am missing something and cannt find the how too to help [01:04] greezmunkey, thanks [01:04] man, what's going on [01:04] random, check that, you need to have the share created in windows... [01:04] whats with all this damn noise pricechild [01:04] seidos: server split [01:04] kickban pricechild [01:04] seidos: or nvm [01:04] !nvm [01:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about nvm [01:04] jolaren: nvm? [01:04] nevermind? [01:04] yer [01:04] seidos, sekyourbox, jolaren: the channel's administrators are doing routine maintenance on the ban list. Please disregard it :) [01:04] usser, I'll level...I'm not very knowledgeable. I plugged it in to the usb and let ubuntu do it's thing. I guess I mounted it from nautilus? [01:04] I am removing some bans, as they are old stale and too numerous. I'll be done in a few minutes. [01:05] !PriceChild [01:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about PriceChild [01:05] seidos .. just remove the modual support... I havn't built a kernel in a few years but in make menuconfig it's one of the basic options [01:05] what's the path to the default share in samba? [01:05] those comcast bans banned entire states from here.. [01:05] /home/username? [01:05] leaf-sheep: couldnt figure out how to configure and after theinstall I tried http://192***:8112 and it states page cannt be displayed [01:05] randomusr: i dont think there is a default share [01:05] snuffy47: Are you connecting to the another machine? [01:05] Pricey;good boy [01:05] gdiz, right, unmount it, open terminal and type sudo fdisk -l that will tell the /dev/ name of your partition [01:05] leaf-sheep, I cancelled out of it. It happens when the computer suspends. how do I access it? [01:05] leaf-sheep: I am missing something and cannt find the how too to help [01:06] maybe make your share directory 'a share' ala windoze? [01:06] you can tell the kernel to be "static" or monolithic [01:06] DivineEntity: honestly, i should compile firefox before i even talk about kernel compilation. [01:06] gdiz, and mount it with sudo mount -t vfat /dev/namefrompreviousstep /mnt -o uid=1000,gid=1000 [01:06] leaf-sheep: Yes from another machine deluge will be on a headless server [01:06] snuffy47: some instructions here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=15120646 [01:06] Billiard, if I create a file to share, where does the path need to be listed for it to work? === kernel is now known as kernelLove [01:06] ^alsa [01:06] !alsa [01:06] 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 [01:06] seidos the two are not related .... [01:06] what's more fun than wobbly windows? [01:06] do as you wish [01:06] seidos, compiling kernels is not that big of a deal with make menuconfig [01:06] go from outside in...right-click a directory and make it a share [01:06] randomusr: it can be anywhere? maybe idk what you are asking [01:06] restart samba [01:07] snuffy47: Ssh in the other machine. Do "aptitude search deluge" What packages are installed? [01:07] if a kernel build is interrupted with make-kpkg, do I need to start over from the start of the build (with make-kpkg clean) or can I just run the make-kpkg command again? [01:07] DAMN i wish i had a pet monkey [01:07] usser, now will I need to mount it like that every time I boot up ubuntu? [01:07] greezmunkey: blacklisting modules is one thing, compiling a kernel is another. I don't want to reinstall if i can avoid it [01:07] Billiard, I want file x to be shared. does the path need to be listed in the smb.conf? [01:07] I'm off to check out aptoncd...later [01:07] Zxcvb: Best to clean and re-make [01:07] gdiz, if you want a permanent mount add it to /etc/fstab [01:07] randomusr: if you want that directory shared, yes [01:07] Is there a way to set my default status in Empathy to be Hidden? [01:07] genii: ouch [01:07] Zxcvb: Annoying but neccesary [01:08] The only time I have felt it nessisary to custom build a kernel is .. A) you need to add in a drive B) YOua re working on embedded hardware and need the space C) You want to learn more about how the kernel works .. [01:08] what is the past bin again [01:08] Billiard, can you provide an example of what the key pairs might look like? [01:08] snuffy47: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [01:08] what tools can monitor the filesystem? [01:08] genii: yeah, the old fashioned way you could just type make bzimage again [01:08] usser, I am assuming fstab is the start up file? [01:08] driver* [01:08] paste.ubuntu.com snuffy47 [01:08] dang my typo's [01:08] usser, do I just through in a command line saying that? [01:08] gdiz, something like /dev/sdb1 /mnt vfat defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 [01:08] randomusr: i think there are examples in the smb.conf or man smb.conf [01:08] nooon: conky [01:09] gdiz, add that line to fstab substituting with your values for /dev/sdb1 and /mnt [01:09] nooon: assuming you're talking graphical [01:09] hmm [01:09] gdiz, /mnt is the mountpoint. ie where drive will appear in your filesystem [01:09] nihilogic: cli would be fine also. [01:09] usser, where sdb1 is the name of the usb port / partition? [01:09] DivineEntity: or patch a driver [01:09] usser, I think I understand [01:09] gdiz, yea the name you got from sudo fdisk -l [01:10] nooon: what type of monitoring are you asking about? free space? security? [01:10] Anybody know how I can keep the tabs in xterm saved when I exit? [01:10] PM me if you do [01:10] usser_, thank you for your help [01:10] gdiz, no problem [01:11] anyone on a lenovo s12 using 9.10 in here? [01:11] leaf-sheep: http://paste.ubuntu.com/318270/ [01:11] gerrh; having more bugs? [01:12] will setting concurrency_level too low hurt anything? [01:12] some, nothing anoying now though. just want to pick the brains of those with experience tweaking the kernel for this machine. ^^ [01:12] snuffy47: You know you can connect to headless server either by webui or deluge-gtk? [01:12] Is Ubuntu One down for anyone else? [01:13] slide, Seems fine here. [01:13] slight update on the freezebug though. it seems to only happen when i'm using a wired connection to the network. have to keep moving mouse around in order for the data to be read or written to the drive [01:13] leaf-sheep: what does gtk stand for [01:13] any pointers most welcome [01:13] *ARGV [01:13] !gtk | snuffy47 [01:13] snuffy47: GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI [01:13] snuffy47: it's a GUI. [01:13] cba123, any idea why i cant connect? [01:13] Gah! Cant get sound out of my hdmi cabel on ubuntu 9.10 nvidia [01:14] leaf-sheep: its a headless server [01:14] no montior [01:14] snuffy47: Basically, you could use Deluge-GUI on your laptop/computer and access the server daemon.

Better wipe out everything. [01:15] leaf-sheep: didn't even know what it stood for. hdmi is too rich for my blood [01:16] just installed unr on an aspire one. i added a custom kernel, but it's still booting the generic. how do i make the custom default [01:16] leaf-sheep: wipe? [01:16] snuffy47: "sudo aptitude purge deluge deluge-common deluge-core" [01:16] maybe I should become a linux admin again .. it as fun [01:16] or was fun [01:16] DivineEntity: you're talking about becoming a linux admin again, and i'm currently looking for a job [01:16] snuffy47: "sudo aptitude install deluge deluge-core" [01:16] leaf-sheep: that won't wipe out the configuration stuff in ~/, btw [01:17] leaf-sheep: its purging :( [01:17] you in the states ?

Turn off classic mode or something. Make it possible for you to access remote connections. [01:19] gdiz: fdisk operates on 1 device only [01:19] hey... still same question: anyone knows why my computer doesn't boot while fans are working ? the keyboard still doesn't get recognized...

[01:20] seidos no... but the lamps do shine [01:20] snuffy47: If you want my opinion, I say deluge-webui is somewhat broken. Not all configurations actually work. [01:20] linxeh, fdisk operates on more than one hdd [01:20] leaf-should install sudo aptitude install deluge not just deluge-webui [01:20] usser_: not at a time [01:20] what lamps?

[01:21] usser_: it will only show you partitions on the specified device [01:21] leaf-sheep: What does that mean [01:21] leaf-sheep: I will install the deluge and see what happens [01:21] snuffy47: Unless you're using Deluge 1.2.0_rc3 which were released two weeks ago. [01:21] usser_ or linxeh, does fdisk get me to the usb peripherals or do I need another command for that? [01:21] linxeh, just ran sudo fdisk -l and it showed all my disk with corresponding partitions [01:22] snuffy47: Meaning not everything on webui works.

[01:55] All: can anyone help me install ubuntu on an XO laptop???? anyone?? in need of serious help [01:55] it seems to follow the linux style of putting pieces of itself all over the place, so not confident I can just delete it [01:55] haven489: does it have a cd drive? [01:55] psycho_oreos: i know, but i had so many custom settings, dbs, mounted shares, etc... didnt want to start from scratch [01:55] why cant you just click and install? it's as if these things are purposefully created to alienate people form linux...

[02:07] NoiseEee, go to www.google.com/linux and search for your issue there [02:07] randomusr: nope, 9.10 and WEP aren't getting along for me. anyways, thanks i appreciate it. if i ever solve it i'll let you know [02:07] ...... [02:07] lotec:ok ill contact you agian if i need any help [02:07] lol [02:08] installing about 20 computers the same way [02:08] Eloff: so why don't you build the nginx from source again? [02:08] I don't have the skills to sort out a preseed [02:08] sam_, just use a cloning program [02:08] I thought a script would be easier [02:08] !clonezilla [02:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about clonezilla [02:08] Which came first -- Gnome's menu bar or Mac's menu bar? [02:08] on different hardware? [02:08] sam_, clonezilla livecd is as easy as it gets. [02:08] sam_, yea why not [02:08] http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/bcmwl-kernel-source http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/bcmwl-modaliases Doorman352 [02:09] Doesnt the installer run hardware detection stuff? [02:09] sam_, its not windows it wont bluescreen because hardware is different [02:09] sam_: have you tried apt-get install `cat packages.txt`? [02:09] usser_ hey dude, how can i set the correct permission for my virtual host folder? [02:09] sam_, no hardware is detected on each restart [02:09] sam_: It might work, I don't know if command line arguments care about newlines. [02:09] bazhang: I just found it from google, perfect timing though [02:09] Doorman352, great :) [02:09] mrXX, i already told you, sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/host [02:09] Ok now my gnome terminal is truely gone mad, it's jumping around with the letters, why is that happening? [02:10] mrXX, and sudo chmod -R 744 /path/to/host [02:10] nicle__: building as we speak, so far, so good :) [02:10] How can you resize a ext4 partition when free space is located behind the beginning of the exisiting ext4 partition??

[02:10] Eloff: good :) [02:11] vigorish: Is there a way that I can use my pen tablet wp4030 on Ubuntu 9.10? [02:11] usser_ thanks for your help, I got it up and running [02:11] usser_: Thanks. do you have a source for that or do you just know it? [02:11] usser_ drwxr--r-- 3 www-data www-data 4096 2009-11-13 16:19 mysites [02:11] usser_ correct? [02:11] mrXX, yep that looks about right [02:11] gdiz, no problem [02:11] nicle__: worked! thanks for your help [02:11] victor_ have you tried www.google.com and search for ubuntu + wp4030? [02:11] usser_ but my /var/www folder has root instead of www-data [02:11] Eloff: u r welcome :) [02:11] My dell computer's DVD drive seems to struggle to even read DVDs. Kaffeine, vlc, and others tend to freeze up. [02:11] usser_, why do people bother with preseeding if there are no downsides to cloning? [02:12] usser_ is it okay? i m sorry but i m such a dumbass [02:12] KnifeySpooney, well mac os is what 20 years old now, linux came out in 1991 and gnome is even later [02:12] mrXX, root is also fine [02:12] lotec, yes [02:12] I can hear the dvd drive laboring (in a non-normal pattern). [02:12] How can you resize a ext4 partition when free space is located behind the beginning of the exisiting ext4 partition?? [02:12] how do I see what kind of make/model of hard drive I have ? [02:12] victor_ have and what did google say? [02:12] bluekb, replace it then? [02:12] !hwinfo [02:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about hwinfo [02:12] lotec: after i say "echo -e ',,L,*\n\n\n' | sfdisk /dev/mmcblk0" it gives me a bad input for sd card [02:12] kostkon, I'd like to be sure it's actually broken. I can play CD's just fine. [02:12] Can anyone help me write a bash script? [02:12] lotec, I've tried the wizardpen driver but it didn't work [02:13] francois: iirc, sudo lshw -class disk [02:13] And some dvds work. [02:13] cha-che, ##bash maybe [02:13] / [02:13] Okay thankyou exodus_ms [02:14] lotec, And the tablet used to work fine in 6.10, but not now when I did a clean install to 9.10 [02:14] victor_, dont find anything at all about any linux support for that tablet [02:14] usser_ great job, thanks dude, [02:14] francois: try hwinfo [02:14] bluekb, ok. but maybe only the dvd part of the drive is broken, since there are two lasers in it, one for cd one for dvds. it can happen, i think [02:14] i have problems with ubuntu turning off my computer because of CPU temperature [02:14] sam_, i dont know, preseeding seems like a convoluted way of doing things. much like windows install answer file [02:14] bazhang, really? [02:14] sedeki, at what temp does your box turn off ? [02:14] sam_, i never quite got why people bother, i mean i understand with windows with its bluescreens on different hardware, but on linux i dont know [02:15] victor_ i would recommend trying to fix the install. or revert back to an earlier release some things are broke in 9.10 [02:15] exodus_ms, i'm not sure, where can i check it? [02:15] usser_ dude but how can i see inside the folder now? cause i need to modify things [02:15] victor_, nothing in ubuntuforums or google [02:15] haven489: seams your sd card is not at mmcblk0 [02:15] usser_ the folder doesn't show anything now inside [02:15] OK thanks [02:15] lotec: kk hmm [02:15] sedeki, how do you know it turns off because of the temp? [02:15] lotec, but isn't there anything I can do to the xorg.conf file? [02:15] mrXX, huh? it should you still have read permissions, try with sudo [02:15] kostkon, I don't have trouble with all DVDs. It is consistent which DVDs cause trouble [02:16] usser_: mrXX folders need execute [02:16] exodus_ms, because i can see a message in the terminal a couple of sec before it shuts down [02:16] How can you resize a ext4 partition when free space is located behind the beginning of the existing ext4 partition?? [02:16] secs* [02:16] sedeki: sudo apt-get install lm-sensors sensors-applet, add the sensors applet to your top panel. [02:16] bazhang, then how can you explain that it worked on 6.10 [02:16] hmm it doesn,t like me [02:16] victor_ very well might be witch is why i said to use a live cd and try to fix the install [02:16] sedeki: you need to run sensors too. [02:16] bluekb, ah. maybe the worn out ones? [02:16] haven489: find out where your sd card is located [02:16] mrXX, bastid_raZor yea right, run sudo chmod +x /path/to/host [02:16] ok [02:16] fcuk112, is there a config in that applet? [02:17] victor_, who is the manufacturer [02:17] lotec ok [02:17] sudo apt-get working fine ,,, but synaptic is not working perfect need help .. [02:17] sedeki, do you have lm-sensors intalled? [02:17] kostkon, two of the problem dvds are new. [02:17] what should my grep command look like if I am trying to get grep to find a document with an instance of "doug" and an instance of "hegel"? so far my grep command looks like this: grep -ir doug /media/25C02AE0778C728F/home/daniel/dox/ [02:17] bazhang, it's UC-Logic formoly Digipro [02:17] bluekb, hmm ok [02:17] anyone have a radeon hd 4550 installed with karmic? [02:18] exodus_ms, dpkg-configuring it now. it wants to open a IP port =/ [02:18] why? [02:18] kostkon, I do wonder sometimes if it's just a junky dvd player. But I don't know how to figure that out. *shrug* [02:18] bazhang, the serial number is 081100324 [02:18] lotec: i forgot to format my SD card before. it didnt brick my system, but i do have to start over. sucks, i will run through the prosess again and get back to you [02:18] Maybe I should just get a monitor that takes svideo input and hook up my regular dvd player to it... or something. [02:18] sedeki, why not sudo sensors-detect [02:18] sudo apt-get working fine ,,, but synaptic is not working perfect need help .. [02:18] any spanish ubuntu channel ? [02:19] exodus_ms, you guys said something other...! [02:19] usser_ now i can get in thru terminal but not thru GUI [02:19] #ubuntu-es [02:19] thx [02:19] I'm using gkrellm for a sensor stack in Jaunty. Is there something else that is more "modern" and can do the same job? [02:19] haven489, that is what i thought, linux can not read that sd directley until you get it formated [02:19] usser_ how can i modify with GUI [02:19] sudo apt-get install lm-sensors sedeki then run detect [02:19] anyone have a radeon hd 4550 installed with karmic? i am having issues. [02:19] victor_, nope. can't find a thing about it. [02:20] lotec: yea, i was stupid not to before lol. will do and get back to you (you are of great help) [02:20] kostkon, I tend to have trouble ejecting it when it's laboring. So I wonder if it's a driver issue, or if I have unknown software doing something... [02:20] even sudo eject can hang. [02:20] Drone4four: try grep -F $'doug\nhegel' [02:20] Cool_AWAY [02:20] exodus_ms, "detect" no such command === Cool_GUY is now known as Cool_AWAY [02:20] sedeki, sudo apt-get install lm-sensors [02:20] i just installed ubuntu, and pop up messages and screenlets don't render. they just show up as boxes of color. any ideas? [02:20] sedeki, run through the wizard at the command line [02:20] bluekb, you could borrow another drive from a friend for example, and check if it'll play your discs fine or not [02:20] exodus_ms, yes i have. do you mean "sensors-detect"? [02:20] there are to many people in this channel. jebus cries [02:20] bluekb: Do your disks feel really hot when you take them out? [02:21] sedeki, ya, ".:exodus_ms:. sedeki, why not sudo sensors-detect" [02:21] ardchoille: conky is similiar but isn't exactly the same. [02:21] bazhang, but I checked and all digpro and UC-LOGIC tablets are supposed to be supported. [02:22] bastid_raZor: Can conky be brought to the front? I have so many apps open that I never see my desktop [02:22] im back! [02:22] bastid_raZor: dude, how can i be able to modify the folder but only make it redable for the online users? === stephan_ is now known as unnerumkahl [02:22] Hi there [02:22] victor_, perhaps something with the powerpc build? sorry not to be of more assistance but I dont use powerpc ubuntu nor a pen tablet [02:22] victor_: There might be better distributions for PowerPC. [02:22] bazhang, darn [02:22] Ubuntu doesn't support it anymore. [02:23] exodus_ms, "sensors": temp1: 58.0 deg. C (crit: 104 deg. C) [02:23] I got one machine in the house that is constantly pinging the network with cups.. the other machines don't. why? or better yet.. how do I figure out why. [02:23] wm_eddie [02:23] ardchoille: i think so but you'll have to adjust the settings to do so. [02:23] victor_ use yellow dog for PPC [02:23] sedeki_, the temp looks way good to me [02:23] bastid_raZor: ok, I'll look into it. Thanks [02:23] wm_eddie, its only suppoerted by comunity [02:23] exodus_ms, is this the "hddtemp" or CPU temp? [02:23] bluekb: Are your disks really hot when you take them out of the drive? [02:23] lotec i cant [02:23] sedeki_, type sensors [02:23] there is no such thing as cant, [02:24] Hey guys, I'm having a bit of a permissions issue. My data partitions are owned by "libuuid users" yet I cannot write to them despite adding my username to libuuid and users in /etc/group [02:24] :( [02:24] exodus_ms, yes? [02:24] How do I speed up my ubuntu? [02:24] hehe, imagine a hdd temp @ 58 degrees [02:24] whats the output sedeki_ [02:24] OpenSourcedNick, how much ram [02:24] sedeki_, thats cpu temp [02:24] mrXX: adjust yours to be like mine.. > drwxr-xr-x 6 razor www-data 4.0K 2009-01-13 16:55 www [02:25] hmm wait let me check [02:25] exodus_ms, "acpitz-virtual-0" \ "Adapter: Virtual device" \ "temp1: +58.0 deg C (crit = +104 deg C)" [02:25] UUID=666d34fa-e687-4542-a3ca-8e190545edd9 /media/Deathstar ext3 defaults 0 2 [02:25] jauntyjoe0, sudo hddtemp /dev/sda : 48 deg C [02:25] that's my fstab entry [02:25] mrXX: i own it so i can edit it fine.. the group can read and execute.. so can all others. [02:25] bazhang, 939MB so it says with the system monitor anyway [02:26] but it's crawling [02:26] OpenSourcedNick, That should more than enough but you can always try Xubuntu [02:26] sedeki_, when you run lm-sensors there should be something that says CPU temp [02:26] OpenSourcedNick, open a terminal and type top and see what is using most resources === gateway is now known as linuxman410 [02:26] OpenSourcedNick, what graphics card do you have? [02:26] exodus_ms, i don't have "lm-sensors" (although i installed it) [02:26] opera 81MB, epiphany 57MB, rhythmbox 35MB, xchat 9.6MB... seems normal no? [02:27] bastid_raZor sudo chown -R myName:www-data mysites [02:27] bastid_raZor: For future reference: Conky can run in windowed mode, meaning that instead of drawing the the root window it draws to it's own window. You can move this window around and resize it by right-clicking or left-clicking on the window while holding down the Alt key. This can be accomplished by running Conky with the '-o' parameter. Thanks for the suggestion. [02:27] Hello, i just watched a ubuntu uoutube video and I saw this guy....moving the applications around in a big cirle to find another application, what does he use for that ? [02:27] is there an easy way to replace nautilus with something like xfce-desktop and thunar or similar? [02:27] geforce FX something... something really crappy and I really don't mind disabling some gui nick-nacks in order to get the computer faster... [02:27] sedeki_, you have to install it then run sensors-detect then follow the on screen instructions. [02:27] ardchoille good to know, thanks. best of luck with conky. [02:27] IdeAlEss, you mean change the desktop environment, or just the window manager and file browser? [02:27] OpenSourcedNick, have you installed the nvidia driver for your card? [02:28] nope [02:28] not that I'm aware of anyway [02:28] exodus_ms, ah well, thanks [02:28] bastid_raZor is this ok? drwxr-xr-x 3 myName www-data 4096 2009-11-13 16:19 mysites === MasterofPuppets is now known as MoPaway [02:28] OpenSourcedNick, check in system → administration → hardware drivers [02:28] exodus_ms, im not sure why gkrellm wanted to open a IP port though [02:28] OpenSourcedNick, it may offer you a drriver to install/enable [02:28] sedeki_: you can also install sensors-applet. i also have cpufire-applet installed which shows when the cpu is busy. [02:28] mrXX: does that match what i suggested? [02:28] its only bound to the loopback interface though [02:28] d9500, just the file browser and desktop (menus). For what ever reason, my nautilus is not theming. I am not a big fan of it anyway. [02:29] the port feature for gkrellm was used by a hwmonitoring software ages ago [02:29] not really useful if you're using lm_sensors [02:29] sedeki_, once you are done with the instructions from runnng sensors-detect all you have to do is run sensors and it will output everything that it is able to monitor, you should see your CPU temp [02:29] bastid_raZor no but i dont knwo the right command, i used : sudo chown -R mrXX:www-data mysites [02:29] it says there are no drivers and doesn't suggest anything [02:30] mrXX: that matches exactly like i suggested. [02:30] IdeAlEss, see http://www.ubuntugeek.com/switch-to-a-lightweight-filemanager.html [02:30] bastid_raZor yours has a seven in it [02:30] d9500, thanks. I will read over that. [02:30] bastid_raZor mine has a 3 [02:31] OpenSourcedNick, ok. do in a terminal: lscpi | grep VGA [02:31] mrXX: that 7 is how many files/folders are in the directory. [02:31] bastid_raZor my bad, thanks dude , gr8 help [02:32] Where would I put a mount command to mount a network drive (system wide) on bootup? [02:32] Microsoft is proprietary of sudo!! =O [02:32] lscpi command not found [02:32] hmmm that did not work...can;t even create a folder there and looked in the other spot and can't write there [02:32] OxFalcon: fstab [02:32] mrXX: any folders in /var/www need this same permission set if you want others to view it. [02:32] OzFalcon: just add a line to your fstab [02:32] !ot | waltercool [02:32] waltercool: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:32] D= [02:32] OpenSourcedNick, whoops sorry, it's: lspci. sorry again [02:32] OpenSourcedNick, typo [02:32] no worries ;) [02:33] Billiard, No. Can't put it in fstab. It's a loopback connection. And the share isn't available at fstab mount time. [02:33] Doorman352, no. [02:33] lotec: it still tells me that i have bad input. i think i have a bad SD card, i have a 1gb will that work?? [02:33] lately, my usb drives have been taking about 5-10min to be recognized/mounted. any one else having this problem? or is there a fix? [02:33] mrXX: and the files you host also need that same permission set. [02:33] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN700/P4M800 Pro/P4M800 CE/VN800 [S3 UniChrome Pro] (rev 01) [02:33] OzFalcon: /etc/rc.local maybe [02:33] bluekb: Had problems with a reader making disks hot and not reading, manufacturer sent firmware update and fixed it... [02:33] haven489: that i cant answer not sure what size is in it now? [02:33] trying to find the system requirements for ubuntu server, does anyone have the specs for memory and stuff for it? [02:34] 4gb [02:34] lotec:4gb [02:34] i dought a 1gb will work [02:34] OpenSourcedNick, allright. you don't have an nvidia then [02:34] bastid_raZor but now i cant see the index page on the browser, it says permission denied! [02:34] card or driver? [02:34] Billiard, Yeah. Thats what I initially thought. But upon reading rc.local #comments it says's it's executed after EACH runlevel. [02:34] how can one get the system time from the command line? [02:34] OpenSourcedNick, card [02:34] Doorman352, how do I find out the make/model of the drive, to see if there are firmware updates? [02:34] maybe you're right [02:34] Haven489: do you have somehting to put the sd in besides the laptop? like another computer? or camera? see if it will format? [02:34] I got an on board one and a seperate, god knows where my screen is connected... as long as it works [02:34] OzFalcon: after the runlevel is setup [02:35] OpenSourcedNick, and thus you don't need to install any driver [02:35] if its stand alone the drive itself will have info, if its embedded can the manufacturer for the update. [02:35] anyways, what should I do to speed the system then? [02:35] lotec: yea, my vista mechine...i dont think that will work will try [02:35] Billiard, Dosn't that mean that rc.local is executed multiple times? [02:35] OpenSourcedNick, but, what type of slowness do you have? can you describe it a little, if you can [02:35] mrXX: set the permissions the same as /var/www [02:35] OzFalcon: no, why would you think that [02:35] haven489: yes it will. if it works in your vista box, format it in fat [02:35] mrXX: i'm actually wrong on files. the files just need read permission for the group. [02:36] OpenSourcedNick: bigger is better. [02:36] sure, well when I switch between applications [02:36] Billiard, from the rc.local file: # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. [02:36] that way nix can read it, are you sure it is at the mount point you are giving the cmd for? [02:36] and run applications, [02:36] the whole thing is really crawling [02:36] lotec: ok i will format my usb and my SD card (i need them both and put the intrepid back onto the usb.) [02:36] i_is_broke, I was reading up on that earlier, It requires a minimum of 192Mb of RAM and 1Gb of disk space [02:36] Billiard, Doesn't rc0 then rc1 etc [02:37] hmmm wait I got confused [02:37] that's on an Intel, 32 bit system [02:37] OzFalcon: no thats not how it works, only one runlevel is sharted [02:37] haven489, there is a usb based live that you can use. that would give you a full os, and ability to do an install [02:37] greezmunkey, ty [02:37] Gah.. seems my 9.10 installation is rly fucked up [02:37] greezmunkey, where did you find that do you remember? [02:37] how was I supposed to do that? [02:37] OpenSourcedNick, do you mean the drawing of the graphics is slow? do you get a lot of hdd activity? [02:37] i_is_broke, np [02:37] Billiard, K. Wasn't sure on that. But if thats the case. I'll go with it. [02:38] i_is_broke, http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/techspecs/9.10 [02:38] greezmunkey, i was trying to find that on ubuntu's web site and just got totally thrown in the wrong direction..lol === andy is now known as smeags [02:38] not sure how to answer that... applications run slow, if I switch to firefox for instance it is very slow moving between windows ... things seem to load very slowly [02:38] OpenSourcedNick, the system becomes slow to respond? [02:38] is there an easy way to increase battery life [02:38] greezmunkey, gracious [02:38] OK this is my first ever attempt at a script http://wirelessimage.pbworks.com/FrontPage how do I get the script to atomatically answer yes to all the questions the script generates? [02:39] automatically [02:39] does the cpu automatically scale down when not in heavyuse [02:39] jolaen, what when wrong with your 9.1 install? [02:39] Can nfs be given fine grain security? Or am I just better of using something like samba? [02:39] checking the processors, never below 90%, and the RAM never below 80% [02:39] smeags: depends on your cpu [02:39] I guess that explains it no? [02:39] I'm watching wireshark and see a wierd ip 168.143.162.116 pinging me.. looking deeper it appears to be twitter.com.. but I don't currently have a twitter client running.. how would they know to ping me.?? [02:39] i_is_broke, yes I am... :) [02:39] does anyone have a radeon hd 4550 installed with karmic? i am having issues. [02:39] OpenSourcedNick, aha. interesting. 90% cpu. [02:39] anyone here use use a creative Zen on linux? [02:39] interesting for you, scary for me.. :I [02:39] scunizi, They're looking for you... [02:39] OzFalcon: use samba NFS is not ment for any type of security [02:40] Hi. I need some advice about partitioning/swap. I'm installing ubuntu on a macbookpro and I'd like to have a separate /home partition. Since refit only supports 4 partitions (and two of them are already taken by osx and the efi), I was wondering how big is the need of having a swap partition when my laptop has 2Gb of RAM and I don't use very RAM demanding graphical applications. cheers. [02:40] greezmunkey: yea.. I haven't "tweeted" in a while :) [02:40] ok processor 100% stable [02:40] he he [02:40] ok didn't want to go to those folders on my computer....so I am confused [02:40] seems insane [02:40] lotec: what is it? [02:40] lotec: and would it work the the XO? [02:40] OpenSourcedNick, if you give: "top" you will be able to see which process(es) eat your cpu [02:41] pclark: can you creat an "extended" partition? that will allow more partitions on the drive [02:41] lotec, Yeah. The best I can manage is matching IP with UID/GID's matched up on the secure client/nfs server. [02:41] scunizi: Linked in uses a DNS lookup to check for valide addresses so if periodically pings me... [02:41] Does anyone know of a way to link libstdc++.so.5 to libstdc++.so.6? or am i best to just install the pre-karmic package? [02:41] I can see the ram === tj_ is now known as tj83 [02:41] pclark: if you suspend you laptop you need swap. 2GB of swap is more than enough. [02:41] OpenSourcedNick, just run top in a terminal and then start using your system [02:41] do you mean the % cpu column? [02:41] OpenSourcedNick, yeah [02:41] pclark: old schools 2/1 swap to ram. [02:41] Doorman352: even when you're not online with linked-in? [02:41] lol how is that possible opera and epiphany take together like 80% of the cpu [02:41] haven489 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [02:42] nick_schembri: that was when ram was less than 1GB.. 2GB of swap is more than enough for almost any box. [02:42] lotec: and would it work for the XO?? [02:42] yep, registered with my e-mail and then they began pinging my domain...... [02:42] pclark: it's a safety net. [02:42] ok, next question i want to set up a server to run my routing threw as a extra security measure for my windows boxes...is that a good idea or a waste of time. [02:42] with port forwarding. [02:42] haven489: i would guess probley be slow as FSCK but should work [02:42] scunizi: probably to find spammers who create and run [02:42] OpenSourcedNick, do you have any pages opened in these browsers that contain a lot of flash? [02:42] lotec: than the method i am doing will be alot faster [02:42] i_is_broke, Is a good idea. I'd suggest smoothwall.org [02:43] apache? [02:43] nope, just text [02:43] that's what doesn't make sense [02:43] OpenSourcedNick, hmm [02:43] bastid_raZor: I just try not to run out of ram. :) [02:43] lol closed both browsers... cpu at 25-30$ [02:43] OzFalcon, thanks ill book mark that. [02:43] lotec: and work better, ive seen youtube vids and such on how faster it is after installation [02:43] lol closed both browsers... cpu at 25-30% [02:43] bastid_raZor: do you reckon it will still suspend if I create the swap on a file? [02:43] sudo apt-get working fine ,,, but synaptic is not working perfect need help .. [02:43] haven489: where are you from? [02:43] use only synaptic now [02:44] haven489: how did you get your hands on this pc? [02:44] ok about 15-25 %... still a lot no? and how come the browsers eat up so much? [02:44] pclark: it should although i've never tried it that way. [02:44] i_is_broke, I have a 500mhz box running as a firewall using smoothwall. Been running for years. [02:44] bastid_raZor: ok, cheers [02:44] utf8 [02:44] pclark: afaik ubuntu doesnt support hiberating to a swapfile [02:44] hi [02:44] i'm interested in installing UNIX UBUNTU onto my car [02:44] OpenSourcedNick, it's strange, yeah [02:44] can someone lend advice? [02:44] lotec: from a friend that was in africa, he brought it back and gave it to me cuz it was linux [02:44] I'd like to reinstall my car management system [02:44] weak processor? how do I check what processor do I have maybe it would clear up things [02:45] OpenSourcedNick, ok, your system is idling and you have 15-25% cpu? [02:45] haven489: nice [02:45] Billiard: thanks, i'll check it out [02:45] cat /dev/cpuinfo [02:45] yep [02:45] lotec: yea i know, ive seen them on ebay for $500 [02:45] OpenSourcedNick, which process is shown on top in top? [02:45] haven489: does the os boot it came with? [02:45] switching between Xorg and gnome-system-mo [02:46] sorry.. cat /proc/cpuinfo returns info [02:46] lotec: yes === DanaG1 is now known as DanaG [02:46] lotec: its fedora === acerna is now known as moltenbobcat [02:46] lotec: with the suger desktop ( I HATE SUGER) [02:47] haven489: well if that is booting off of that sd card then i am thinking that you are issuing the wrong /dev [02:47] CPU: pentium 4 cpu 3.00GHZ [02:47] ok processor, no? [02:47] OpenSourcedNick, yeah, not so bad [02:47] and by the way for some reason it reads it as 2 processors, don't know why [02:47] OpenSourcedNick, you have P4HT [02:48] it says cpu 0: pentium 4 3.0GHZ... cpu 1: pentium 4 3.0GHZ [02:48] ht? [02:48] lotec: the tut says that i sould, plus its from the OLPC website and its the officail wiki [02:48] OpenSourcedNick: two cores? [02:48] OpenSourcedNick, hyper threading [02:48] positively not [02:48] my computer is 4 years old [02:48] no way [02:48] OpenSourcedNick, it can run 2 threads at the same time, or something like that [02:48] oh [02:48] ok [02:48] but definately not dual core [02:48] OpenSourcedNick, no [02:48] oh then yeah maybe === mirco_ is now known as mirco [02:49] koalas arent bears [02:49] lotec: i have to put in my usb with the intrepid and then boot from that, install to the NAND flash memory and use the 4gb SD and storage space. but i have to make it a file system, that is what i am haveing the problem for [02:49] please dont call them as such [02:49] at any rate it's still weird how slow it gets .. 20% on idle [02:49] xorg and gnome-system-mo each 10% [together 20%] [02:50] OpenSourcedNick, just close the system monitor app ;) [02:50] lol [02:50] I accidentally fubared the permissions on my only user (on 8.10). I need to restore full admin rights to this user. Any ideas? [02:50] how do I switch to root? [02:50] sudo -s [02:51] ;D [02:51] ok everything's fine but it would just go back to crappy when I'll start a browser.. and I'm not planning on surfing with lynx for the rest of my life [02:51] any ideas ? :\ [02:51] OpenSourcedNick, ok, 10% used by X it's not so bad, a little high, but definitely i have seen worse cases [02:51] haven489: yea i see what you are trying to do, i am saying just check and make sure the sd card is at the /dev/ point [02:51] anyone familiar with NX (nomachine) to help me install it? [02:51] alright but 70-80% browsers is not normal..? [02:52] lotec: ok will do [02:52] OpenSourcedNick, when idling, i mean. [02:52] OpenSourcedNick, no, it's not [02:52] What do you recomend to make ubuntu 9.10 look alot nicer? atm im using gnome-do-docky [02:52] Does any one use wireless mouse on Ubuntu 9.04? When you right click on desktop sometimes it creates a new folder instead of show properties menu. Does anyone experience that? [02:52] OpenSourcedNick, have you tried ffox? chromium? [02:52] ohh don't get me started on ffox === andy is now known as Guest34864 [02:52] jolaren: http://maketecheasier.com/turn-your-ubuntu-hardy-to-mac-osx-leopard/2008/07/23 [02:52] i'm lucky that the computer is not dying starting that one [02:52] chromium? what's that? [02:53] plus, epiphany is suppose to be pretty light i think .. [02:53] lotec: it is [02:53] kbp: it is probably sending a double click on the right button. i had a mouse start doing this. it was just old though. [02:53] haven489: ok [02:53] OpenSourcedNick, yeah. it supposed to be light === Guest34864 is now known as smeags [02:53] freaky [02:53] bastid_raZor: is there any chance to fix it? [02:53] lotec: Thanks but I dislike the mac os x experience [02:53] is there any way to get the system graphics down a notch or anything of sorts? [02:53] OpenSourcedNick, chromium is chrome [02:54] chrome for linux? when did that happend? [02:54] jolaren: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1040558.html [02:54] OpenSourcedNick, i suppose you don't use any effects right? [02:54] nope [02:54] I accidentally fubared the permissions on my only user (on 8.10). I need to restore full admin rights to this user. Any ideas? [02:54] kbp: my mouse was old. required the purchase of another. not saying that is your problem but it has similiar symptoms [02:54] lotec: well for the last part of the install, i need a wirelss network connection. i dont have one of them and need to find one. any ideas on hot spots near kearns utah?? [02:54] it's by mear chance that I use gui at all... only because I can't handle not listening to music and watching a video now and then [02:55] lotec: I have win7 on dualboot so ^^ I was thinkin more like compiz, gnome-do compiz snow etc [02:55] haven489: that i can not help yea with. lol [02:55] lotec: dang, know any hotspots? === dexter_ is now known as dexter [02:55] jolaren: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-e17-enlightenment-desktop-in-ubuntu.html [02:55] is 3com an easy etho card to get working with ubuntu server??? [02:55] OpenSourcedNick, it could be that your graphics card is very weak, i don't know [02:56] oh trust me, that's one thing I know, it is as weak as it gets [02:56] haven489: with me being in Florida i know where there are some here but in Utah? check out a barn???? [02:56] that's why I'm counting on reducing graphics all-over some how... [02:56] lotec: wow that might be true, lol [02:56] OpenSourcedNick, hmm [02:57] jolaren: why not just use compiz then? [02:57] ok think I got one [02:57] OpenSourcedNick, you could reduce your colour depth, but i assume you'll need to fiddle with your xorg.conf file [02:57] a lot easier when you are not falling asleep [02:57] been a long day [02:58] OpenSourcedNick, if you have one, that is [02:58] well... I'm currenly using my onboard graphics card, however I do have the nvidia geforce fx something [02:58] kostkon: there isn't really a xorg.conf anymore.. it's all controlled by xrandr [02:58] say, if I do get a decent [below 150$] graphics card, will that be such a difference? [02:58] I am having slow page loads on Karmic, other computers on the network do not have this issue, I have been asking for help for about an hour now... Could someone at least give it a shot? I've been googling like mad to no avail. [02:59] How do i get into advanced desktop settings ? [02:59] How do you execute a secondary shell in the terminal?

[03:00] yes [03:00] ty all [03:00] hello [03:00] hello [03:00] yeah but if I connect the screen cable it won't do anything for some reason [03:00] lotec: thank you for the help, will you be on maybe tommarow, at about 8 moutain time? [03:01] and sometimes.. it does... i'll try to reset and se if it works.. anyways thanks a lot for all the help :) [03:01] hello [03:01] !hi | newlinux [03:01] newlinux: 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! [03:01] haven489: should be [03:01] OpenSourcedNick, yes, then you may need to disable your onboard from the bios or you may have the option there to choose which card you want to use [03:01] will do, cheers man! [03:01] OpenSourcedNick, or something like that. definitely, try to enable your nvidia [03:02] hi, is there way to replace grub with lilo? [03:02] ba0_ yea install lilo [03:02] How do i execute a secondary shell from the terminal? [03:02] what's the best way to run a program from terminal that will stay open when the terminal is closed? [03:02] hi all [03:02] how does one add an app to gnome bar in netbook remix [03:03] cow1: gnome-terminal [03:03] cow1: ctrl+alt+F1 [03:03] Which command can print GUIDS of all partitions? I need them for fstab. [03:03] i accidentally changed the mount options in nautilus for an external hdd, and now i can't re-mount it to change them back. i'm running jaunty unr, what do i do? [03:03] ok bit of a learning curve on figurung this out [03:03] fallore, out an " & " after the command and type exit [03:03] frostburn: you using a netbook? [03:03] but got it [03:03] lotec, yes [03:03] cow1: ctrl+alt+t .. this will add a tab to top. you'll have two terminals open then. [03:03] cow1: ctrl+alt+F& [03:03] cow1: if you do ctrl+alt+f1 you need to hit f7 to get back to desktop environment [03:03] cow1: ctrl+alt+F1 [03:04] :) [03:04] DivineEntity, like "xchat & exit" ? will the terminal window stay open if i do this? [03:04] sorry [03:04] frostburn: how does it run on it? i picked up a netbook today not sure what nix to run on it [03:04] Ok, so I'm in my new Ubuntu Netbook Remix install, and it's kind of a shock to the system (I'm coming from years of Gentoo with Enlightenment...only thing that starts up is xclock!) [03:04] fallore: if you mean interactive programs, you could use something like screen to attach and detach, if you just need something to run in the background, append & to the end of the command [03:04] lotec: ubuntu netbook remix? [03:04] lotec, i'm running a 1000HE and it purrs [03:04] do you guys know how to write ctrl+alt+F1 into a shell script? [03:04] is there a way to install ubuntu studio via apt-get in 9.10 (install as a session)? [03:04] does grub write info on root directory? [03:04] is this something I can 'fix' or is this just how it is, and I should maybe drop back to normal Ubuntu? [03:05] yeah I just put netbook remix on my 1000he tonight [03:05] it's pretty nice [03:05] Which command can print GUIDS of all partitions? I need them for fstab. [03:05] fallore: just xchat &, exit will close the terminal [03:05] ekontsevoy: sudo blkid [03:05] not sure if i want to run remix, or just my own nix [03:05] ekontsevoy: UUID's you mean? [03:05] shogun_: I don't really understand your problem. You only get the clock to boot? [03:05] cow1: if you type gnome-terminal in a terminal it will open another terminal [03:06] moltenbobcat, make sure to enable multitouch scroll under pref>mouse [03:06] frostburn: already done :D [03:06] My computer doesn't recognise its (working) LAN card during installation. Any chances to get it working anyways? [03:06] ekontsevoy: blkid [03:06] bastid_raZor: correct! Thanks dude [03:06] how do i reset the default mount options in nautilus for an external hdd in jaunty? [03:06] heh, no, no.....on my main desktop and laptop I run pretty minimalist (gentoo with enlightenment), and now I'm in netbook remix and it's like *BOOM! Stuff!!* [03:06] bastid_raZor: is there any difference in using UUIDs vs device names like /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab? [03:07] cow1: chvt maybe [03:07] theblue: "defaults in fstab? [03:07] frostburn: have you got any of the cpu downclocking stuff like the hybrid engine or whatever in windows [03:07] shogun_: It's pretty awesome.. Running it as we speak on my mini netbook [03:07] and I'm not sure I'm ready for all this stuff...is this something I can tone down, or is this just now netbook remix 'is' and maybe I should fall back to normal Ubuntu? [03:07] iskra-studio: no, in nautilus. [03:07] Yeah, I can see why people would like it [03:07] shogun_: You can remove programs etc.. [03:07] azerty [03:07] can I change window manager? [03:07] sure, but how big is your screen? [03:07] moltenbobcat, think so, i wanted to add a system monitor to my gnome panel to watch it in action heh [03:08] ekontsevoy>: ive never had any issues [03:08] 10.1" I think if I poke around a bit, get rid of everything, and set up keybindings to launch things, I'll be alright [03:08] ekontsevoy: UUID's are the preferred method since you could change a drive out and it take over a /dev/ but not UUID. [03:08] AE [03:08] AR [03:08] Archlinux RULZ [03:08] shogun_: Then you'll love it.. open up firefox.. see how it melts in the panel [03:08] frostburn: I had it working in other distros before you can tell it's working by the clockspeed of the cpu [03:08] shogun_: Theres so much space for everythin else [03:09] i flashed my bios and now i get a new mac every time i boot, which sucks because i have to power cycle my switch and log on to the net every time. does anyone know a general workaround? i figure i should choose a mac and put it in some file. where would that be? [03:09] shogun_: For me it was love at first sight [03:09] Yeah, it's cool looking, it's just not how I"m used to working :D [03:10] shogun_: unr, and especially karmic version is a somewhat monolithic thingy, meant to be uniform rather than customizable. For your porposes it might not be the best choice, (you might even shy away from ubuntu and go for something like crunchbang in your case) [03:10] People, everytime I update my Palipsest it shows that my "(13) Soft read error rate" and "(195) Hardware ECC Recovered" is increasing highly. Is it normal? Both is at value 98936742 now, 1 hour ago it was at ~80000000. :S [03:10] Hi Guys , I'm having a few issues with 9:10 , firefox / seamonkey ect seems to crash on me , my sound drivers are seemingly stuffed , sound plays with spotify but not youtube , and ubuntu software centre hangs at 5% , as of today , ettercap greys out , and I'm unable to figure out why , are these know bugs or does anyone know of a fix/fixes ? Thanks :) [03:11] arand, well yeah, maybe, but I wanted to try out Ubuntu rather than do another Gentoo box...figured it'd play nicer out of the box with the netbook hardware (and so far it has!) [03:12] Aidan1, your crashes may be flash related. you may need to open a flash vid on your browser and send the sound to the device you want manually. [03:12] Think I'll try it for a few days [03:12] I'm having problems keeping my RAID from corrupting, I posted a topic in teh forum but haven't had any responses http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8312582#post8312582 [03:12] shogun_: Since #! is a derivative of ubu, you might get more of both sides of the cake there. [03:12] Would appreciate any help I can get [03:12] Aidan1, you may have some apt errors and that ma be the reason why your centre is not loading. [03:12] shogun_: why not install the desktop version and customize it the way you want? [03:13] heh, because I bought a netbook and went 'ooh, a distro meant for netbooks' [03:13] shogun_: If your into google stuffs try gOS out, pretty neat to [03:14] Kostkon, I will give it a bash , thanks for the advice :) [03:14] Aidan1, you could open a terminal and give, first of all: sudo apt-get update [03:14] shogun_: Really sweet appeance [03:14] Anyone know much about RAIDs using mdadm? Would love some help. [03:14] Aidan1, did you get any errors?

[03:17] using apt-get, getting dependency errors... i want to stop trying to install it but can't seem to... suggestions? seems it installed halfway and failed, i want to remove that half... :) [03:18] dpkg-reconfigure apt [03:18] ? [03:18] sorry, i'm new, but that didn't seem to help [03:19] can i revert back to pidgin in 9.10 or will i lose notify features and such [03:20] Barridus: Going back to Pidgin is fine. [03:20] nono, you could try reinstalling it: sudo apt-get install software-center --reinstall [03:20] anyone know how to install ubuntu-studio packages via terminal in 9.10? it used to be something like "apt-get install ubuntu-studio" [03:20] Barridus, what replace pidgin in 9.10?

If so you have to open up port 5900 [03:29] thanks [03:29] I have a zombie gedit process... how do I get rid of it? [03:29] Tartaros: kill it? [03:30] Is there a way to set my default status in Empathy to be Hidden? [03:30] Zilla: yeah except killall nor kill -9 didn't help [03:30] Arsin: he'll need to do port forwarding on his router to his machine.. and then give you the public ip address that you can use to connect with.. I'm not sure what the port is.. [03:30] Arsin: scunizi: Its port 5900 [03:31] Tartaros: open terminal run top, press k, enter pid of app to kill, input 9 for kill signal [03:31] scunizi: Portforward eh? What is the program name? [03:32] Arsin: It's not a program, its on your router. He has to login to his router and enable it. === exodusMS is now known as exodus_ms [03:32] how do I know if I have these: GLIBC, libstdc++ v6 and XFT ? [03:32] dan_zero: thanks.. yes.. vnc is port 5900.. the other tool built in is "Remote Desktop" which is diffrent than TSC Terminal Server Client.. .. I can't seem to use Remote Desktop to connect from one machine to another on my lan.. connects and then immediately disconnects [03:32] dan_zero: Yes I know, but it requires the application name, ie when you forward utorrent, it's name is Utor1 (Unless the name doesn't matter?) [03:32] Arsin: Alternativly, if his router supports it he could also set his local ip as part of the DMZ (an option ont eh router) [03:32] dan_zero: not really a good idea [03:33] Arsin: portforwarding is done in the router.. port forward 5900 to the internal lan ip of his computer. [03:33] any way to ctrl+alt+backspace back? [03:33] Billiard: It'd be fine for 20 minutes... === sedeki_ is now known as sedeki [03:34] i tried to make a framebuffer far too big, and now i have all sorts of interesting artifacts! [03:34] fujimitsu: didn't work either. I wouldn't mind except I can't run gedit now at all [03:35] scunizi: Remote desktop also uses 5900. Are you running both as once? I had remote desktop enabled on an account and then I'd start vnc in once mode to login and get booted out becuase remote desktop started and killed my vnc connection (and therefore my login) [03:35] Tartaro: i would log out and back in then [03:36] Well, is it possible to start evolution minimized? Kinda bummers me [03:36] dan_zero: I did.. I have a vbox guest of win2kpro running on a desktop and connected with TSC no problem.. then I tried (at the same time) Remote Desktop for the Ubuntu host and .... nothing.. connect and disconnect [03:37] anyone know how to tell if I have these (default U8.10 install): GLIBC, libstdc++ v6 and XFT [03:37] anyone know how to hide the name of the full path when sharing folders on nicotine? [03:37] Nautilus: check with synaptic [03:37] scunizi: Are the vnc servers running on different ports? I wonder if they'd conflict if they were on the same screen too.. [03:38] fujimitsu: synaptic, for glibc, only shows glibc-docs [03:38] dan_zero: vnc is actually a protocol.. TSC and Remote Desktop use RDPv5 I think [03:38] just received notice that my /root/ partition only has 250 MB left (. my /root partition is 18.63GB.).... i tried to resize the next partition (/home) with gparted, but problem is, unallocated space appears AFTER the /home partition and thus i can't reallocate that space to /root ideas? [03:38] dan_zero: not sure.. I can change the port for the ubuntu host.. [03:38] scunizi: I'm pretty sure that remote desktop uses vnc but Im not sure about TSC [03:39] dan_zero: tsc does too.. it actually shows the protocol on the "attempt to connect screen".. the vnc protocol is greyed out and unusable. [03:39] Mangler 1.0 came out today!!! Linux vent client [03:40] ok... i'm at my parents' house and can't turn it off without their comcast password... is there any way to make it automatically ignore anything that resolves to 63.123.155.104? [03:40] scunizi, dan_zero for tsc you have to install tightvncviewer [03:40] usser_: ah, thanks [03:40] Shwack, ah, cool...was unaware [03:41] dan_zero, not sure why they use separate program for vnc, tsclient does a great job in my opinion [03:41] then again, I'm only on Vent when I play WoW, so... [03:41] i'm connected to my server right now and it works great - the team has made amazing progress [03:41] usser_: tsc is a default install on 8.10 and 8.04 along with Remote Desktop [03:42] usser_, scunizi: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-257222.html - Difference between TSC and VNC, I guess that makes sense that TSC would need a special client [03:42] scunizi, yea i know, so is remote desktop viewer, i dont get why they include remote desktop viewer [03:42] just received notice that my /root/ partition only has 250 MB left (. my /root partition is 18.63GB.).... i tried to resize the next partition (/home) with gparted, but problem is, unallocated space appears AFTER the /home partition and thus i can't reallocate that space to /root ideas? [03:42] i just upgraded to new ubuntu [03:42] so maybe thats it [03:42] usser_: it auto discovers within the same network === zero is now known as Guest67407 [03:43] scunizi, ah. i see. not that i ever needed that feature === Guest67407 is now known as css [03:44] anyone know how to tell if I have these (default U8.10 install): GLIBC, libstdc++ v6 and XFT [03:44] dan_zero: nice link [03:44] scunizi: :D === css is now known as cssmeans === cssmeans is now known as csspoet === nicetalk is now known as tbck [03:45] please reply if any 1 can c this message [03:45] hi. ^ [03:46] sorry, cant see it [03:46] hi [03:46] i have 448 mb ram ....can i install windows vista on my ubuntu virtual box [03:46] 448 total? [03:46] Alright, dropping back to straight desktop version and see how that goes [03:46] akyapt: It maybe possible but utterly ridiculous, not worth it. [03:47] actually its 512 but it gives only 448 [03:47] netbook remix is cool, just not sure it's going to work for me [03:47] i've only run unr in a vm [03:47] anyone run karmic and fluxbox? [03:47] it looked great, but it was slow in the vm [03:47] i ran vista in a vm however i gave it 2 gig [03:47] 64-bit flash shiesty? === sedeki_ is now known as sedeki [03:48] akyapt, vista virtual box with 448? why bother? use xp or something with that limited of resources [03:48] k thans for the comments [03:48] guys have you noticed that the price of desktop ram went up [03:48] running vista with anything less than 1gig is crazy! [03:48] linuxuz3r, ram pricing is like produce, it goes up and down [03:48] but we can if it a mininum of 512 [03:48] anyone know how to hide the name of the full path when sharing folders on nicotine? [03:48] csspoet: running vista is crazy* there, fixed that for ya [03:49] running karmic and fluxbox , makes flash unresponsive to mouse clicks on youtube and other sites, unless you hold down the middle mouse button at the same time, and that sucks [03:49] what can you tell me about 64 bit flash on 9.04 [03:49] hello [03:49] a question for programmers [03:49] the QT creator is opensource? [03:49] thanks dan_zero! [03:49] just received notice that my /root/ partition only has 250 MB left (. my /root partition is 18.63GB.).... i tried to resize the next partition (/home) with gparted, but problem is, unallocated space appears AFTER the /home partition and thus i can't reallocate that space to /root ideas?my /var/log is 8.4G... and i need to clean house. can i simply delete /var/log/syslog, syslog.1, kern.log, ?? [03:49] i have a pc-6400 4gb ram right now and i want to add another 4gb what should i get? [03:49] should i get a pc-6400 too [03:49] what are the rules for it? [03:49] yeah [03:49] Tartaros: you to get the parent process to reap it, or kill the parent process so that init can do it (you can't kill the undead you know...): find the P[arent]PID with "ps -ef" and kill that, or send the CHLD signal to it. [03:50] barridus:kk i have xp and ubuntu 9.04.i want to run vista [03:50] Barridus, anything pc-6400 will do? [03:50] linuxuz3r, it will downplay the faster stick to match the slower [03:50] Barridus.. yeah? [03:50] linuxuz3r: are you running the 64 bit version of ubuntu? if not then extra ram won't do you any good. [03:50] Is anyone familiar with hackintosh could you PM me? === luchs is now known as Guest57145 [03:50] no one runs fluxbox? [03:50] scunizi, im running all 64bit oses [03:50] need help making 1 user belong to multiple groupes on jaunty server [03:50] linuxuz3r: then the extra ram will be seen [03:50] linuxuz3r, yeah any should work as long as the speed's the same [03:51] !illegal > sumeetbali [03:51] sumeetbali, please see my private message [03:51] arooni, I think logrotate will delete your oldest logs and zip up your most recent, opening up a little space. Since the logs are almost all text, it compresses well. [03:51] what is a better option for programming freandS? monodevelop or qt creator? [03:51] Barridus, will i get BSOD if i get the wrong type of ram? [03:51] nowimproved: i have fluxbox, but i don't have karmic, and i'm currently using gnome [03:51] its not illegal BS [03:51] im using windows too [03:51] ki4cgp, looks like its broken for me... any ideas on how to fix? [03:51] linuxuz3r, what i meant by the speed comment is let's say you add a PC-5300 stick to your PC-6400. it'll be as if you have two 5300's [03:51] logrotate is broken? [03:51] Barridus, ok [03:52] arooni, logrotate is broken? [03:52] seidos, that sucks [03:52] pulseaudio makes a clicking noise when opening a new program. very loud and annoying. solution? [03:52] linuxuz3r, well i should say it "should" be like that anyways. i'd keep the speed the same [03:52] I say horray for hackintosh [03:52] ki4cgp, thats why i have 8.4G in /var/log id think [03:52] nowimproved: you suck [03:52] But i would never use mac crap even if its fake [03:52] hehe [03:52] arooni: the bulk of space likely lies in the apt package cache, try "sudo apt-get clean", and then check with "df -h" if that helped freeing up space? [03:52] Barridus, will i get BSOD if i get the wrong type of ram? [03:52] mac crap is decent hardware, too bad mac os x isn't open source [03:53] linuxuz3r, you shouldn't. [03:53] i would not get bsod? [03:53] linuxuz3r: match it.. same brand and specs.. otherwise re-buy all 8 gigs so it's the same [03:53] you can put linux on mac, correct? [03:53] what is a better option for programming freandS? monodevelop or qt creator? [03:53] If I am going to encrypt my drive, do I just download some program and do it? I'm looking for somebody who is enthusiastic about encryption and can tell me the pros and cons of available methods [03:53] linuxuz3r: You would have to buy some really terrible RAM to get a BSOD. [03:53] seidos, Honestly who cares if it is or not and guess what, the core, Darwin is so your point is moot. [03:53] seidos, you suck [03:53] Zilla, thanks [03:53] linuxuz3r: then sell the old stuff [03:53] seidos, please keep it on topic. [03:53] scunizi, yes i am planning that [03:53] arooni, I'm not sure how to examine the problem. It might be in your cron logs, but maybe logrotate gives errors to syslog, messages, or something else. You'll want to look in there and see why logrotate is failing [03:53] arand, that helped a bit;;; is 8.4G a normal size for /var/log? is logrotate being ran? [03:53] nowimproved: no [03:54] linuxuz3r, i mean there's always a small chance of BSOD using windows period. i wouldn't think that you really run any risk tho as long as you get the right speed and form factor ram [03:54] is there a chan for 64 bit ubuntu [03:54] arand: how do I send the CHLD signal? kill says "CHLD: arguments must be process or job IDs" but I don't know how to put the arguments... [03:54] is there a chan for 64 bit ubuntu [03:54] syn-ack: Darwin? interesting [03:54] ki4cgp, how can i ensure that logroate is being ran [03:54] o.0 8.4g of logs?? [03:54] sekyourbox: what's up? [03:54] arand: the parent is gnome-session btw. so not exactly something I'd want to kill unless necessary [03:55] Blue1, I need flash player for 64 bit 9.04 [03:55] what is a better option for programming freandS? monodevelop or qt creator? [03:55] arooni, most systems running logrotate will have /var/log/messages and then 3 recently gzipped copies of older logs [03:55] sekyourbox, then install Flash 64 [03:55] sekyourbox: that might be hard to come by - did you try installing what's on the site? [03:55] When I startup google-earth [03:55] arooni, sorry, 4 gzipped sets of logs [03:55] ki4cgp, i just told logrotate to compress rotated logs is that ok? [03:56] in the conf file? [03:56] arooni, it should be, that's what mine do [03:56] it's not hard to come by... you go to adobe labs' website, download it and symlink it yourself [03:56] Google-earth: problem: Text is EXTREMLY small [03:56] Is there a command to check a drive at the block level? [03:56] hell, I think there's even one in the repos [03:56] ok think i fixed it [03:56] thx everyone [03:56] hey is ubuntu server still based off of sdebian? [03:56] debian* [03:56] dan_zero, hdparm or badblocks === warren_ is now known as Guest12585 [03:56] warriorforgod, yes [03:56] thx evryone [03:56] sekyourbox: iow have you tried -- sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree === Guest12585 is now known as warren1234 [03:56] syn-ack: ack [03:56] How do you open another terminal from a terminal? [03:57] cow1: gnome-terminal [03:57] hey is ubuntu server still based off of debian? [03:57] oh [03:57] :-D [03:57] warren1234, yes [03:57] hahaha [03:57] thnks some1 said it earlier.. [03:57] does it still have the gnome desktop? [03:57] warren1234: the whole ubuntu is based on debian [03:57] Tartaros: find the PID of the parent to the zombie process and use that. [03:57] wgrant, cow1, that was funny [03:57] warren1234, yes.. [03:57] arooni, you might have to wait until the cron job runs again a few times before everything is compressed. I honestly have never kept up with how it works, because it always has worked [03:57] i'm new to irc and freenode.. is there a list of rooms somewhere? only rooms i know is #ubuntu and #ubuntu-release-party [03:58] it is a command prompt in ubuntu server [03:58] warren1234: To answer your next question, yes, Ubuntu Server is still Linux. [03:58] any one here good with raid1, I can't get my computer to boot from HD because the raid device won't come up, I only have /home on raid [03:58] drunkwithmusic: #defocus is chat channel [03:58] okay I was just checking because Kubuntu is based off of KDE so I thought ubuntu server might be diffrent [03:58] warren1234: Ubuntu Server does not by default have GNOME installed. [03:58] server dont have a gui unless you add it [03:58] ohhhh [03:58] josephj: are you using mdadm? [03:58] no [03:58] Is ubuntu remix worth a try peopple? [03:58] yes [03:58] arand: tried that. zombie=25933, parent=2327 so now how do I write the kill command? [03:58] Irakirashia: i think so - [03:58] josephj: Can you start in safe mode? [03:59] well, using gnome desktop like I am on regular ubuntu can I install serrver benifits? [03:59] josephj: errr..single user…whatever, terminal mode [03:59] i'm running live cd now, but I can't get the raid devise to start [03:59] josephj: what does cat /proc/mdstat say? [03:59] I think it might be the controller went bad but my /dev/sda is on same controller [04:00] it's empty just unused devices: [04:00] warren1234, if I want to get LAMP setup, I normally just install phpmyadmin, and it takes care of most of it. You'll need to stick around, as it will as for root pass when setting up mysql password [04:00] josephj: I think thats because youre in the live cd. You can't boot into recovery mode (thats what I mean when I said all those other things) ? [04:01] I get 99 all over the screen when i try and boot from HD, it never comes to grub [04:01] Hi all [04:01] what package should I install do you know off hand? [04:02] warren1234, phpmyadmin [04:02] I've used tzselect twice now to set the timezone on my sever, and the changes still aren't sticking. What could I be doing wrong? [04:02] hello well dont ask me why but i did this: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:02] sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [04:02] and now i need it back [04:02] does anyone know of a music player that will automatically import music in a specified folder. For example, I specify folder /home/music and whenever I put an mp3 in that directory the player automatically imports it [04:02] cause i cant install the nvidia drivers:( [04:02] thank you ki4cgp [04:02] gdiz: Rhythmbox, and most othes. [04:02] mespejel: How are you trying to install the drivers? [04:02] mespejel: you can recreate it with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [04:02] hey guys [04:02] Tartaros: I *think* "kill -s CHLD 2327" would be it [04:02] gdiz: amarok -- but.... [04:02] sudo blow up the computer [04:02] IM new here but I love Ubuntu [04:02] warren1234, no problem. It will get you most of the way there, but you'll likely still have to edit a config file here or there [04:03] welcome to the club, aspoor [04:03] zilla, using the hardware drivers option [04:03] on admin [04:03] * Wiseman is technically running LinuxMint, close enough [04:03] gdiz: best bet under gnome is prolly rhythmbox [04:03] josephj: hmmm…that probably doesn't work because your home device won't wont…Im not sure then…thats a tough one. Sorry [04:03] okay, that install http just for reasurence [04:03] arand: no error, but doesn't help [04:03] right? [04:04] wgrant or Blue1, so rhythmbox on opening will check the folder to see if there are new mp3's to add to the library [04:04] Is there any keyset to end programs? I mean sometimes a program can hang itself and I'm unable to scroll out. In windows you can use ctrl alt del, that works here to. But sucks to logout and in again [04:04] still i cant active it:( [04:04] xkill [04:04] gdiz: dunno about rhythmbox - but amarok does -- but there are issues with running amarok under gnome [04:04] thats what i was thinking, i can't figure why I can't at least get grub up and not have /home directory, maybe if I disconnect the two drives that are part of the raid and boot, [04:04] alt-f2 [04:04] warren1234, yes, it will install apache2, mysql, php, and you already have linux. Installing phpmyadmin depends on the rest of the packages, that is why it is easy to ask for that one. [04:04] ambi_dextr-rus: right [04:04] josephj: if it makes you feel better my RAID 5 keeps crashing and I can't fix it :/ [04:04] mespejel: Did that command someone suggested work? [04:05] Blue1, I know this is a silly question, what does gnome mean? [04:05] ambi_dextr-rus: But when using xkill, dont i need to specify pid? [04:05] no it doesn't, I went with raid1 because thats all I really need and it was simpler to implement [04:05] Sweet, you know of a wiki or guid I can read for the phpmyadmin? [04:05] zilla, yeah.. anyway.. i need my nvidia drivers back.. any idea [04:05] ? [04:05] gdiz: gnome is a gui - so is kde [04:05] man ubuntu is nice [04:05] no...it's a point-and-click...just click the window === ubuntu is now known as kgee [04:05] josephj: You could try to rebuild it from the live cd [04:05] mespejel: Ok, so your xorg.conf is back now? [04:05] warren1234, let me see if this works.... [04:05] josephj: You may need to use the —force option to get it to clear any failed flags [04:06] gdiz, GNU Network Object Manipulating Ebvironment [04:06] !phpmyadmin | warren1234 [04:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about phpmyadmin [04:06] zilla, i guess so.. i did what the other guy told me [04:06] is there a way to install plasma like there is on the KDE desktop without installing KDE [04:06] !lamp | warren1234 [04:06] warren1234: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [04:06] mespejel: You should be able to install them from Hardware Drivers now.... [04:06] I tried doing mdadm --assembly --force /dev/md0 but it didn't work [04:06] zilla i cant [04:06] gdiz: GNOME is the default Ubuntu desktop environment. [04:06] mespejel: If that's not working, you can install them manually. [04:06] cory8092, you will still have to install half-a-kde-desktop with it [04:06] josephj: what did it tell you? [04:06] Ive got an Xubuntu live CD running on 3-4 year old hardware. The desktop install icon keeps crashing. Does anyone know how to invoke the installer via command line? [04:06] Blue1 and Lint and wgrant, thanks for the help, I appreciate it [04:07] zilla how? [04:07] oops I feel stupid, I just did it again, with the correct parameters and it worked this time :) [04:07] OK, I have NX running, at least as much as I can connect from another PC... but I cant do anything (no mouse or keyboard actions) ... why? [04:07] mespejel: How comfortable are you with the command line? [04:08] * knoppies gnome is better than KDE, but the default colours of gnome are horrid, so swap them out for something else you like. [04:08] josephj: I would mount it and run it for a little while to see if it fails again, also backup because you might have a bad drive [04:08] at least I can do another backup of the raid then [04:08] ya I'm backing up as we speak [04:08] josephj: how long have you had it running? [04:08] zilla so so i know the basics [04:08] how can I make a system to wake up when keyboard|mouse keys are pressed? [04:09] months, but I just switched from crunchbang back to ubuntu this week [04:09] Lint: mine does that automagically [04:09] mespejel: Alright, the first step is to head over here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us [04:09] Does dualboot slow down a computer [04:09] mespejel: You'll need to select your model and download the driver for it. [04:09] Blue1, giess what, mine does not [04:09] Jolaren: no. [04:09] jolaren: no [04:09] Lint: dunno [04:09] ki4cgp you know of a GUI tool I can use to help me I do not understand this [04:09] Aight [04:10] Lint: do you have your's setup to suspend or sleep? [04:10] I'm totally in love with Gnome-DO. You lot got any more suggestions on what to install to my new desktop [04:10] Ima install XBMC now [04:10] Zilla: Why are you recommending a manual installation of the nvidia driver? [04:10] Blue1, suspend [04:10] wgrant: Apparently the Hardware Driver dialog is broken for him. It's happened to me before. [04:10] warren1234, Sorry, I haven't looked at the documentation in a while. Let me look at what they want you to do [04:10] Lint: that might be a problem -- I have mine set to never suspend and never go to sleep [04:11] wgrant: I reccomend that, I had loads of problems with the proposed one [04:11] * mahngiel waves 'hello' to the crowd [04:11] The automated install is always preferable of course. [04:11] i am mgetting lunchpad GPG error [04:11] Leads to less bugs.

[04:31] warren1234: usually your isp will block port 80.. you'll have to use a service to redirect to a different port [04:31] warren1234, on your router, you will need to open up port 80, and then forward it to the computer's internal IP that is running the web-server [04:31] k [04:31] scottyg [04:31] MJEvans: i must thank you dude, i do what u did, now i finally got my custom ringtone of bob sinclar: Love you no more =) [04:31] I am going to try to forward port 80 first but it could be blocked [04:32] Lint, it was installed during OS install, but It's my first time using Ubuntu and it's a brand new install [04:32] warren1234, yes, some providers will block port80.

[04:35] warren1234: that's the apache group.. [04:35] warren1234, www-data is a user/group that apache uses to serve up files [04:36] in groups and permissions? [04:36] warren1234, yep =) [04:36] warren1234: if you make a web page in a text editor you'll have to copy it to /var/www .. you need to be a memeber of www-data to allow apache to recognize the transfered file [04:37] nice [04:37] it is done I am a member [04:37] warren1234, What scunizi said is something I didn't know =) I'm here to learn as well [04:37] Thank you scunizi [04:37] warren1234: :) [04:38] Can someone here help with setting up TiMidity++ as a server to play MIDI. . . ?

[04:51] list tables; isn't enough? [04:51] lstarnes, so I need to install php+apache or smth? no, thanks [04:51] show tables? [04:52] lstarnes: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/HardyHeron/RC/Kubuntu says that Kubuntu Hardy will not be LTS, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubuntu says EOL for Kubuntu Hardy is 2009-10 but my repositories are working fine [04:52] scunizi, if there was 'many' in Synaptic, I wouldn't ask it here [04:52] Lint: I don't think that's what he said.. [04:52] Blue1: there is no file extention, but when I type 'file referee' (referee is the name of the file) it gives me the following info: " ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel... blah blah" [04:52] scunizi, so phpmyadmin works without web server and php? [04:53] Lint: if you're so discouraged.. go back to winxx and enjoy.. if you want to investigate a little instead of just query here you might find more. [04:53] scunizi, no phpmyadmin needs apache and php [04:53] dogon: yeah that just says 32 bit - dunno can't help any further sorry -- [04:53] Lint: what applications do you know of for windows/mac that you want to see in *nix? [04:53] err [04:53] Lint, nope phpmyadmin needs a web server and mod_php [04:53] Lint: there's a program called mysql administrator you can try that i installed [04:53] Lint: the exact functionality that you want might not be clear to us [04:53] Blue1: I think usser_: was going in the right direction.. I will just look for ia32 package in [04:54] dogon: yes the will install the 32 bit libs [04:54] Lint: not sure if it will do what you want it to do [04:54] lint:http://127.0.0.1/ [04:54] dogon, if that doesnt help get getlibs its a program that fetches 32bit libs for 64 bit systems, but if you ask me your teacher should have statically linked all the libraries. tell him that next time he does that :) [04:54] dogon: but a force-archetecture can destroy your system if not careful [04:54] !info getlibs [04:54] Package getlibs does not exist in karmic [04:54] amazing how people that come in here and bitch gets so much attention. Proves that the community really cares. Other people that ask polite questions may get overseen ;) [04:55] dogon, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 [04:55] albech: never.. at least not on purpose :) [04:55] usser_: Our final project is due in 4 days... the guy has no clue what he's doing! [04:55] albech: i was just thinking i wonder if such a good idea to give attention to people with bad attitudes [04:55] dogon, whats the project about? [04:56] usser_: he initially made the executable 64 bit, but our school machines are 32 bit red hats (nobody could run it!), we can code in java, but the school server only has java 1.4 not 1.6 [04:56] * seidos tries to get support for his windows sql program [04:56] hello everyone [04:56] lstarnes, I need a simple, small, usable, stand-alone frontend for manipulations with data. I don't care about backend format [04:56] dogon: I think that's the definiation of shite [04:56] usser_: we're making AI agents that will play against each-other for the final [04:56] Lint: you might be able to run filemaker in wine if you can't find anything else [04:56] dogon, oh fun fun... are you using playerstage? [04:56] Blue1: I'm telling you, I'm pulling whatever is left out of my hair now... [04:57] usser_: NO! We're using something VERY FUN! :) [04:57] dogon let me see what I can find about 32 bit libs hang on [04:57] why cant I get an answer? [04:57] I know this may be a stupid question, but is ultimate edition the same as ubuntu 9.10 with extra programs ? [04:57] lokpest, about what [04:57] I like peanut butter jelly time [04:57] lokpest: I'm trying to find an answer regarding your question about kubuntu 8.04 being an LTS [04:58] usser_: My teacher has a referee program that writes to stdin/out and we read it, each player's turn is passed through stdin/out [04:58] lstarnes, its not iirc [04:58] dogon: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs [04:58] Blue1: thanks, let me do it right now [04:58] lokpest: it wasn't LTS because that ws a time of change from vs 3.5 to 4.x.. however the repos are still active [04:58] lokpest: from what I have seen so far, kubuntu isn't an LTS, but the repositories (possubly excluding kubuntu-specific packages) will still be treated as LTS repositories [04:58] rpm [04:58] more water [04:58] Lint, http://extragear.kde.org/apps/datakiosk/ [04:58] nono, what? [04:59] when I try to save files from the net and access torrents in the menus I cannot see my samba shares [04:59] red hat;rpm [04:59] ? [04:59] my computer sometimes sees my webcam sometimes dosnt help.... [04:59] dogon, oh cool. [04:59] I can access my shares and add files ect through network and connect to server though [04:59] nono, right? how does that relate to ubuntu support [04:59] help please [04:59] Silent_Echo: are you using 9.10 by chance, and is usb? [04:59] yes and no [05:00] Silent_Echo: what's yes and what's no...? [05:00] usser_: the reason why he does it that way is so people can code in C++, java, and lisp... everybody can read/write std but it's just amazingly HORRIBLE! [05:00] scunizi: I know, what I was asking was more to the thing of what lstarnes answed (although EOL should have happend for the KDE-part already and that works fine too) [05:00] usser_, it's interesting, but datakiosk is 300 MB [05:00] yes i'm useing 9.10 and no its not usb [05:00] Silent_Echo: what type of connect then? [05:00] Lint, so, and Microsoft Access is what 600mb? [05:01] Lint: how big is fileman? [05:01] well...

[05:01] when I try to save files from the net and access torrents in the menus I cannot see my samba shares [05:01] Blue1, like cheese for instance, sometimes it'll detect my webcam other times it'll say no cam detected [05:01] Does remastersys tell you how big the ISO is before making it? [05:01] ext4 > ext3? [05:02] Silent_Echo: but that doesn't tell me what type of connection it is? [05:02] Irakirashia: could you please rephrase that as an actual question? [05:02] Irakirashia: for some [05:02] ext4 != ext3 [05:02] Irakirashia: dont repeat yourself so fast, some people have problems with ext4 [05:02] can I mount the shares mewhere on the laptop were I can see them when I want to save something [05:02] Blue1, what do you mean what type of connection? explain plz.... [05:02] Blue1, its a laptop webcam if thats what u mean [05:02] I know they are different [05:02] i had no issue using ext3 [05:02] and sorry for the repeat [05:03] Silent_Echo: well there's usb, serial, parallel -- [05:03] i'm in search of a ubuntu website that listed all past editions of a piece of software and upcoming versions and which versions of ubuntu it would allow. It was like an internet view on apt-get servers but it was not packages.ubuntu.com [05:03] Irakirashia: i was just trying to communicate in your language [05:03] Blue1 mmm well its not usb, so how do i tell the difference between serial or parallel? [05:03] Silent_Echo: let's start with something simpler - what make/model webcam do you have? [05:03] usser_, lstarne, Access is 120 MB, Filemaker is 3 MB [05:04] hp pavillion [05:04] it also listed all of the user modified versions [05:04] seidos, I know ext3 != ext4, but I was asking if ext4 > ext3 in performance. [05:04] Lint: is that the size of it when fully installed, not just counting the program's ram use? [05:04] Blue1, hp pavillion [05:04] Silent_Echo: no hp pavillion is a name of a computer that's what I have... [05:04] hi - what program can I use to install the latest ubuntu to a usb drive? I need to install it on a *different* computer than the one that is creating the usb install [05:04] Blue1, well its the webcam built into my laptop XP [05:04] maybe that could be written as a switch statement or something [05:04] It's not for me the answer actually. A friend of mine is going to install ubuntu for the first time and I don't won't him to get angry at all because of ext4 issues [05:05] consumer: unetbootin [05:05] when I go to add a torrent file with the webui I can not see the network shares avail [05:05] when I go to add a torrent file with the webui I can not see the network shares avail help please [05:05] Silent_Echo: ahh now were getting somewhere... [05:05] Can I reset my root password using bootable CD? [05:06] holy, yes [05:06] lstarnes, it's size of its folder, obviously [05:06] Blue1, its built into my laptop and my laptop is hp pavillion dv6000 === padd1 is now known as paddy_melon [05:06] rashed2020: I tried unetbootin but it had an error at boot time something along the lines of: Loading /ubnkern. Invalid or corrupt kernel image. [05:06] Lint: it wasn't that obvious to me [05:06] Silent_Echo: okay let me look at that [05:06] Blue1, kk thx [05:06] consumer: Ubuntu should have it's own tool. I forgot what it's called though. Something like Live USB Creator. [05:06] How do I get wireless drivers working for an Inspiron 1525? [05:06] rashed2020: in fact all these usb creator programs fail, I'm thinking it's got something to do with the fact that the latest ubuntu uses initrd.lz instead of initrd.gz [05:07] Lint: I don't know of any lightweight graphical database applications like FileMaker for *nix, but I am trying to find one [05:07] when I go to add a torrent file with the webui I can not see the network shares avail help please [05:07] paddy_melon: What Ubuntu are you using? [05:07] albech: and using which command? [05:07] holy, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [05:07] rashed2020, 9.10 [05:07] thanks [05:07] Irakirashia: I'm not sure how to quantify "better" [05:07] rashed2020: yeah that doesn't work either, same thing basically... I can boot and get to a grub screen but I can't push enter on any option [05:07] consumer: Nah, I tried it and it worked fine with me. Must be something to do with your USB drive or computer. [05:07] rashed2020: maybe the iso is screwed. I'll double check [05:07] Irakirashia: I think generally speaking ext4 > ext3 but if ext4 doesn't work and ext3 does, then ext3 > ext4 [05:07] It's simple seidos, would you make your fs ext3 or ext4? [05:08] holy, google is your friend ;) [05:08] paddy_melon: Should work fine. Do you see your wireless card when you run iwconfig? [05:08] Don't complicate a simple question ;P [05:08] consumer: Yeah, do that. [05:08] Irakirashia: personally? ext4. but i would back up my data before migrating. [05:08] How do I make GRUB load so I can boot into XP [05:08] Lint, how about glom? http://www.glom.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page [05:08] I have my own opinion, was just asking for someone's advice [05:08] Irakirashia: I thought i was simplifying [05:08] rashed2020... it says 'no wireless extension' [05:08] ext3 would do then [05:08] i guess it really doesn't matter. back up your data is the answer. [05:09] Since nobody said: EXT4 OF COURSE. That means ext4 is not stable at all like usual [05:09] paddy_melon: What's the full model if your laptop? [05:09] help [05:09] when I go to add a torrent file with the webui I can not see the network shares avail help please [05:09] usser_, I'll check it [05:09] Irakirashia: not true. it could be considered common knowledge by most users. we certainly know that canonical thinks ext4 > ext3 [05:09] Irakirashia: I've heard that it is fairly stable in 9.10, definitely more than in 9.04 [05:09] !hcl [05:09] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [05:09] rashed2020... it's a friend's can he use a program to find it?

I am getting this reported from a friend where I installed 9.10 a few days ago. I did not experience it myself while I was configuring the system. [05:10] paddy_melon: Or better yet, run lspci and find what the wireless card is called. [05:10] !python-subversion [05:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:10] That's what I call an answer lstarnes [05:10] albech: YES! Fixed it though [05:11] He has tried both PS/2 and USB keyboards. Same issue [05:11] freevryheid, /msg ubottu please [05:11] rashed2020, it's broadcom... [05:11] freevryheid: The correct syntax for package information, if that's what you're trying to do, is "!info packagename", not "!packagename". [05:11] paddy_melon: broadcom what? [05:11] Irakirashia: are you implying that the other answers were less valid? [05:11] one sec [05:11] thx [05:11] No lstarnes [05:11] Arsin, how? [05:11] But your's was what I was looking for and I did not know it.

It worked from then on I had that problem for days on end with no help, that seemed to fix it [05:12] rashed2020: model: 1525-PP29L [05:12] :| [05:12] paddy_melon: What about the broadcom card? [05:12] lstarnes, trying to speak on a hurry using a language that it's not your main it's not that easy [05:12] Silent_Echo: doesn't say anything about the webcam - sorry I can't go any further [05:13] rashed2020, Card: 0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) [05:13] Blue1, thx [05:13] anyone know how to extract an .exe compressed zip file?

It is very likely that nobody knows an answer to your question or someobody is trying to find a possible fix [05:18] !grub-pc [05:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about grub-pc [05:18] usser_, i may just do it again and install grub in the right spot this go [05:18] snuffy47: Wait, are you trying to save your torrented files to the external drive? [05:18] how do i add windows 7 on my grub.cfg? [05:18] Arsin: The share is mounted on a server ubuntu and I can write read to them via places network and connect to server [05:18] snuffy47: you could try limiting the number of peers or the bandwidth used by the torrent [05:19] ageeb, alright then. good luck. [05:19] usser_, ty [05:19] Arsin: tring to load a torrent saved on a share on the server [05:19] Can anyone help me upgrading to 9.10 [05:19] is it standard practice to perform bios updates using wine? [05:20] snuffy47: Sorry no clue [05:20] usser_, glom looks promizing, thx [05:20] Arsin: all I see is desktop, filesystem, media, not the harddrives that are setup on the server [05:20] snuffy47: there could be an issue with the account used for the webserver not having read permissions for that partition, share, or file [05:20] Seidos, no [05:20] !upgrade > paddy_melon [05:20] paddy_melon, please see my private message [05:20] snuffy47: when you access shares from the places menu, they are mounted oddly [05:20] Lint, no problem. hope it will work out for you [05:20] bazhag, it hangs on downloading packages [05:20] what is the best virtualisation software for karmic? [05:20] Nightlonewolf: terrible idea? [05:20] snuffy47: Wait so the hard drives aren't mounted? [05:20] Billiard: /media/movies1 [05:21] seidos, very bad idea [05:21] Billiard: /media/storage1 [05:21] anyone know of an docs on installing Xen on Karmic? [05:21] i can explain in pm if you wish? [05:21] and gets an error that it can't find the server [05:21] snuffy47: and what are you trying to do? [05:21] ironsight: for karmic as a host, or as a guest? [05:21] Billiard: are the mount points on the server [05:21] host lstarnes [05:21] snuffy47: im talkin about mounting on your client, tahts the prob right? [05:21] ironsight: virtualbox, kvm, or qemu [05:21] Billiard: When I try to save a file or webpage off the net I can not select these folders [05:22] lstarnes, as in I want to run windoze in karmic [05:22] snuffy47: you are on another computer ? [05:22] ironsight: for virtualbox, you can get the OSE edition from the repositories (virtualbox-ose) or download the full version from Sun [05:22] Billiard: Yes tring to save to headless server [05:22] Rashed2020, it is still not working [05:22] !virtualbox > ironsight [05:22] ironsight, please see my private message [05:22] thanks [05:22] there's a cd-rom installation, i'll try that [05:22] thanks Nightlonewolf [05:22] ironsight: I personally use kvm for its speed, but it is not as user-friendly as virtualbox [05:22] Billiard: I can write to them any other time but I have to save on desktop then move to server [05:23] ironsight: qemu is very similar to kvm but also supports more processor architectures, but it isn't anywhere near as fast, although it does get some speed increases with the kqemu kernel module for guests using architectures like the host's [05:24] snuffy47: like i said accessing shares from the places menu doesnt really mount them i beleive [05:24] ironsight: if you need an enterprise-class solution, consider Xen or vmware server [05:24] hello. I am using rsync between two machines, however the destination requires a 'sudo -s' login from 'user' to 'root' in order to retrieve the data (direct root login not allowed) - what would I add to my options to allow this via rsync? [05:24] lstarnes, i personally found virtualbox to be just as enterprise ready as vmware server [05:24] Billiard: so I need to mount them on the client also [05:24] Does anyone know how to install grub on a mapped raid1 (hardware) mirror drive? [05:24] lstarnes, not needing enterprise, just something at home for quick operations, installing virtualbox, thanks :D [05:25] ironsight: which edition of virtualbox? [05:25] the client is an ubuntu desktop [05:25] non-free [05:25] lstarnes, the command line tools to control VMs in virtualbox are awesome. couple that with a small distro and ssh server and you almost got yourself a hypervisor :) [05:25] snuffy47: im not sure of the best way to do it but i would use autofs [05:26] Billiard: what is autofs [05:26] snuffy47: it can automount shares when you try to access them such as `cd /smb/servername/share` [05:26] lstarnes: usser_ vbox works great for one vm at a time.. vmware & xen is better for running multiple vm's at the same time.. personally I use vbox.. simple needs [05:26] snuffy47: then in unmounts them after inactivity [05:26] Having trouble with my wireless USB device. It's a Netgear WNDA3100 and I used the ar9170 driver from linux-wireless.org. I'd also like to know how to get the ar9170usb module to load at boot time, but I'm not sure how. [05:26] Billiard: that will fix my problem [05:27] snuffy47: alright install autofs dont think its installed by default [05:27] scunizi: I've found kvm to be effective for running multiple vms [05:27] lstarnes: that too [05:27] * ironsight only needs to run 1 on localhost once in a while [05:28] Billiard: this is a client ubuntu desktop connecting to a headless server you understand that right [05:28] snuffy47: yes [05:28] can someone help with shutting down the X server sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop doesnt work and neither does sudo init 1 [05:28] Billiard: okay [05:28] joscht: try simply "gdm stop [05:28] Billiard: sudo get-apt install autofs [05:28] hi. why did ubuntu set up the swap partition inside an extended partition in the default install settings? and what is the recommended swap size if my PC has 2.5gb of ram? i might also upgrade to 4gb of ram. [05:28] scunizi: and just gdm start to restart? [05:28] joscht: try sudo service gdm stop [05:29] snuffy47: yea or the package manager [05:29] joscht yep [05:30] snuffy47: install smbfs as well not sure if its default === andy is now known as Guest78321 [05:31] Has anyone else been having problems with notify-send? [05:31] I am going to bed that is to much to take right now I thought it would be just a small thing but no as seems the norm with this linux stuff [05:31] ArmitageX: whats the prob? [05:31] oddhyena, it doesn't matter where the swap partition is located on the disk. It could even be a file on the disk. The swap file is also not too terribly important now because people have a massive amount of RAM installed. On my 2 GB ram system barely 2/3 of it is ever used [05:31] it only works half the time [05:31] snuffy47: it would only take like one more step after installing those [05:31] Having trouble with my wireless USB device. It's a Netgear WNDA3100 and I used the ar9170 driver from linux-wireless.org. I'd also like to know how to get the ar9170usb module to load at boot time, but I'm not sure how. [05:31] Billiard: well autofs does not show up in package manger === Guest78321 is now known as smeags [05:32] ArmitageX: what does it do the other half of the time [05:32] How can I enable direct root login via SSH? Currently I have to use 'sudo -s' once logged in as a user to gain root, anybody?

The card is: BCM4312 [05:32] snuffy47: it should, try apt-get install then [05:33] Where can I get drivers [05:33] it is a problem [05:33] etc. [05:33] asdqwe, you really don't want direct root login enabled [05:33] asdqwe, Taht's a pretty big hole [05:33] oddhyena, I forgot to add, traditionally swap space was set up to be twice the amount of RAM [05:33] I had to install libnotify-bin ... could that conflict or something? [05:33] does Swap HAVE to be 2 times the RAM? [05:33] syn-ack: I understand, it will just be for a short bit of time - plus, it's a closed network [05:33] paddy_melon, if you are running 9.10, you already have the driver installed, but you need the firmware [05:33] ok [05:33] where do I get the firmware [05:34] and how do I install it [05:34] asdqwe: it is strongly discouraged to enable root lossing [05:34] asdqwe: it is strongly discouraged to enable root loggng [05:34] installig [05:34] paddy_melon, follow this guide please: http://pastebin.com/m7eb6a94c [05:34] thank U [05:34] asdqwe, And as such, I'm not really at liberty to explain the process [05:35] * bintut waves [05:35] syn-ack: The problem I'm faced with is that I need to rsync a large amount of data that is mounted on the source (and only accessible via root) - so either I allow direct root login or, perhaps you know how to allow rsync to perform a 'sudo -s' ?

[07:10] Guest19752, yes [07:10] how to install umts mon in karmic? [07:10] hey everybody [07:10] i nearly finished my all in one key [07:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/318387/ [07:11] mneptok, http://paste.ubuntu.com/318387/ [07:11] paddy_melon: do you notice that no matter what server it *says* it's trying to reach, the IP address never changes? [07:11] and soon my all in one usb hdd [07:11] i'm impatient to post it [07:11] yes, I did mneptok [07:11] anybody know how to get Ubuntu to recognize mouse? please msg me [07:11] how do I change it [07:11] so everybody'll be able to use it [07:11] but firt i wanted to ask a question === chaky_ is now known as chaky [07:12] paddy_melon: what does "nslookup archive,ubuntu.com" tell you? [07:12] errr [07:12] paddy_melon: what does "nslookup archive.ubuntu.com" tell you? [07:12] i have installed on my Ubuntu 9.10 other windows manager [07:12] jacquesdupontd, ok and what was your question [07:13] and i can choose the one i want on the beginning of the session on the login page, but the thing is that it seems that it's started other things than just the needed files for the windows manager, fox example it's starting 2 times cairo-dock [07:14] bazhang, you know why i don't ask my question on the beginning ? and you know why most of people or not doing it ? cause before someone see you are talking, you've said nearly 10 sentences at least, and then you just have to repeat for free and nothing [07:15] jacquesdupontd, did you uncheck them in startup applications [07:15] bazhang, so that's not stupid to ask if someone is here, but it seems it has been a reflex to tell people to ask directly instead of asking to answer [07:15] jacquesdupontd: preferred channel etiquette is that you just ask questions, and avoid needless noise. [07:16] system preferences startup applications jacquesdupontd [07:16] bazhang, why would i uncheck an app in application starting if it is only 1 time and i want it and that it only start 2 times on certain window manager [07:17] bazhang, thx i know ubuntu menu, and by the way it changes with different window manager [07:17] jacquesdupontd, I thought you wanted it not to start. [07:17] bazhang, you see the thing about asking the question directly ? :) [07:17] is anyone else having trouble downloading things after updating?(trying to narrow down what i did wrong) [07:17] bazhang, then you don't read well [07:18] jacquesdupontd, my apologies. [07:18] I have just installed Ubuntu but cannot use it as mouse won't respond - any suggestions? [07:18] monkey__, could you specify? from the repos? from other websites? [07:18] jacquesdupontd: your English is not perfect, either. do not blame people for misunderstanding you. [07:19] mneptok, i think you could answer me to that question, is it possible to make different entries that would load the different window manager with the linked splash and login screen for example ? [07:19] from the software center [07:19] I'm trying to fix a freezing problem in 9.10, I read advice about temporarily changing a kernel parameter, so I need to get into grub2. The info I read says you hold down the SHIFT key during boot. This made no difference. [07:19] jacquesdupontd: entries in the gdm menus You mean? (i just got here) [07:19] monkey__, what about directly from the terminal? that way we could get the error message more easily [07:19] jacquesdupontd: yes, via GDM entries or xsession entries. [07:19] mneptok, im not blaming anybody of nothing, and even more when they are helping me, i was just telling that sometimes it's not stupid to ask if someone is free to answer a question clearly [07:19] jacquesdupontd: or are you meaning Grub menus to change the default splash/gdm theme/stuff like from Kubuntu to Ubvuntu to ubunhtu-studio? [07:20] ok i'm a linux noob so how would i install wine from terminal? [07:20] Dr_Willis, yes You understood [07:20] monkey__: sudo apt-get install wine [07:20] monkey__, sudo apt-get remove wine [07:20] sorry for my misunderstanding questions [07:20] err install [07:20] whoops [07:21] jacquesdupontd: thats is proberly dosable.. but would be rather complex. You would have to parse the boot options and have a script do the proper changes (proberly by chning soft links) [07:21] well it seems to be installing from terminal [07:21] monkey__, wait and see if there any error messages [07:21] jacquesdupontd: There is a tool called epidermis that can select/install grub/spash/xsplash/gdm themes with a few clicks,. [07:21] let me get the messege i was getting [07:21] k [07:22] Dr_Willis, hrm i'm pretty sure i already did that one time really easily, i was thinking about your way but wouldn't be interesting [07:22] jacquesdupontd: perhaps check out the tool and suggest a way to do the changes automatically at boot. [07:22] jacquesdupontd: theres the old dpkg-reconfigure usplash I recall from the older releases.. but im not sure that works any more in 9.10 [07:22] i'll let you know in 4 mins [07:22] monkey__, something about the microsoft fonts? [07:22] ok [07:22] Dr_Willis, i'm sure we can have an argument on the line of the menuentry that would say to load directly this window manager [07:23] jacquesdupontd: ive been playing/tweaking/twiddling with al the splash/boot graphics and stuff since beta. :) its amuseing.. but in the bottom line. not worht messing with much since you just see the gfx for such a short time [07:23] wgrant you still here? [07:23] jacquesdupontd: you are talking about different things.. [07:23] jacquesdupontd: laiunching a specific window manager from GDM is easy. You just make a proper whatever.desktop entry for it [07:23] jacquesdupontd: that wont affect the gdm theme or usplash stuff or xsplash stuff [07:24] coreyman: I am. [07:24] hey folks, just wanted to say, Great stuff on getting firefox into its own package instead of Shiretoko!! [07:24] Dr_Willis, in fact it's about really tweaking the splash, it's about just launching ubuntu as it was xubuntu or kubuntu or lubuntu [07:24] Dr_Willis, just the correct Window Manager would be sufficient, i don't care about the splash, i could replace it with an artwork i would do with all the logos of every window managers [07:25] wgrant idk if you have exp in virtualmin, but the images aren't showing up after i reinstalled... idk if that has anything to do with virtualmin or not... [07:25] #ubuntu_beginners_help [07:25] jacquesdupontd: and the splash changes are just graphic files. then you got the specific login manager to change.. THEN you got to set the login manager to boot whatever desktop you want. === amit is now known as Guest4222 [07:25] jacquesdupontd: then you STILL will have some issues with some of those desktops goofing each other up. [07:25] coreyman: You should probably ask in the virtualmin channel. [07:26] wgrant yea noone answeres [07:26] jacquesdupontd: given all the features of grub2. there may be a way to get it to change the default login manager some how. Or you could pass the kernel some option. that would be part of what you want. [07:26] Dr_Willis, don't you think there is a cleaner way to launch it than making a launcher on the startup ? you see in the login screen you have a selector of window manager, with an argument isn't it possible that it set it to the right one just by changing the grub entry ? [07:27] Dr_Willis, grub2 is boring but when you learnt it it's really really good, but this different files that gengerates the grub.cfg are not that well working [07:28] jacquesdupontd: you would have to do a lot of things real real real fast as the system boots. there are scripts that read the boot options. You could do somthing with that script. but On my systems all this would have to be done very quickly. [07:28] bazhang, it installed no prob [07:28] jacquesdupontd: i got grub2 set to boot the whatever.iso files from my /boot partition. :) if i want to test some new ubuntuwhatever.iso i can do it from my grub menu now. :) grub2 is handy [07:28] monkey__, ok [07:28] it just wont install from the software center [07:29] Dr_Willis, ok nevermind i'll do as i was doing before and choosing from the login screen but do you have an answer for : why is it slower with the different window manager than the original one (gnome) [07:29] jacquesdupontd: i will point out that just having the various whatever-desktops installed on the same machine can cause a lot of issues also. [07:29] jacquesdupontd: ive never found it slower. Guess it depends on what wm you are running [07:29] jacquesdupontd: watch out for lubuntu - it really goofed things up on my one machine. :) [07:30] bazhang, the error says 'The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.' [07:30] Dr_Willis, hrm gnome is not faster than a xfce or a lxde don't you think ??? :) [07:30] this is pidgin [07:30] Dr_Willis, you didn't read me well i just talked about it before you :) [07:30] jacquesdupontd: lxde seemed as fast as gnome to me.. but its running different file managers, and everything else.. so how do you even benchmark this ? [07:30] Dr_Willis, it runs lxde really good [07:30] monkey__, that would be the gpg authentication error [07:30] I dont even bother with xfce any more. dident like it. [07:31] is their a way to fix it? [07:31] Too many of these alternative-desktops tweak way too many core system tools/settings/packages makes it hard to undo them at times [07:31] Dr_Willis, the thing is we are talking about ressources not speed, and it seems when im checking system monitor that it's changing nearly nothing from a gnome to a lxde and some soft are starting 2 times [07:31] Hey all, Kpackagekit doesnt show the size of the updates, just that i have ten updates pending. How do i see the file size? [07:32] Dr_Willis, that's why i was thinking installing sudo apt-get install lxde or xfce is not installing it well [07:32] jacquesdupontd: monitoring resources can be tricky. but i rarely worry about it any more. When running all these desktops - its possible some services for gnome are starting up and staying running even tho you are runing lxed [07:33] jacquesdupontd: with gnome and kde - a single kde or gnome app will load a lot of libs and start some support services - so even under lxde the resources used will be higher then an app designed for lxde [07:33] how to use an own repository? so if i am using dpkg-buildpackage it should be placed in /var/www so that i can access it like a real repository [07:34] Dr_Willis, your finally pointing what i'm thinking, and i know it's not that disturbing on our computer but i find it just stupid as i'm someone that wants everthing to be perfectly done and not the one who won't care cause it's still running enought fas [07:34] computers will never be perfect. [07:34] can someone tell me how i can make grub load a bootable CD from a HDD partition ? === bizkit_ is now known as bizkit [07:34] and debuging/troubleshooting the interactions from all the desjktops is a bit hard to do also. :) [07:35] nvme: I got several links to that on my delicious.com links under dr_willis/grub2 [07:35] nvme: i dont have the full url handy [07:35] nvme: its not too hard to do :) [07:36] Dr_Willis, oh my god, computers will never be perfect, that is sure if you are not trying to stop loading things not needed :) [07:36] i have a shrewd idea on what it involves, just need the exact commands cause i dont want to mess it up [07:36] Dr_Willis, they won't be perfect alone that is sure :) [07:36] Dr_Willis, but i think that if we are on linux it's to run only what is sufficient, otherwise i would run winshit with all the services [07:37] jacquesdupontd, watch the language [07:37] Dr_Willis, for how long have you been using ubuntu ? [07:37] bazhang, sorry i thought it was a word [07:38] hi i have a quick question about compiz === simon_ is now known as Guest96429 [07:38] bazhang, can i show you a computer on a link that i'm gonna buy tomorow and ask you what you think about it and the most important will it be perfectly reconised (cpu et..) on Ubuntu ? [07:39] bazhang: think they changed that word to VISTA [07:39] jacquesdupontd, in #ubuntu-offtopic sure [07:39] my friend and i set some commands as "super" "control" and "button1" [07:39] bazhang, could the eror be a result of installing the 32 bit library? [07:39] jacquesdupontd: nothing stopping you from wriging your own scripts to launch exactly what you want.. but you are wanting everything to be automatic- thats the harder part [07:39] where are buttons "1-10" [07:39] for using compiz? [07:40] Guest96429: perhaps they mean the mouse buttons? [07:40] Guest96429, supre is the windows key [07:40] Dr_Willis, ok i took that in notes [07:42] ligtest desktop ive been able to 'do' is jwm or flwm + rox-filer :) [07:43] but rox-filer has some issues under 9.10 [07:44] hey [07:44] i wonder if im the only one that ever uses rox-filer :) [07:45] i have ask [07:45] how to install starcraft on linux??

[07:45] mormonki: install wine, run the installer.exe - hope it works [07:45] ok thx [07:45] monkey__: i woudlent think so. [07:45] hmm [07:45] then i dont know what would [07:46] what about the updates? [07:46] monkey__: whats the exact error? I rarely mess with gpg however [07:46] and about KADU its like MSN ... non stop i got disconect [07:46] from this program .. its annoying [07:46] !im | mormonki [07:46] mormonki: The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others.

I dont use any of them [07:46] Dr_willis, its when i try to install stuff from the software center [07:47] monkey__: thats perhaos due to the servers changing keys, or you never updated the proper keys. [07:47] so what program do you use? [07:47] k [07:47] mormonki: i dont do Instant messangers. :) I hang on IRC all day. [07:47] good morning [07:47] ;))) [07:47] * Dr_Willis uses Weechat 3 for IRC.

[07:48] ok if it ever checks for updates [07:48] mormonki: start with 'bash tutorials' its good to know bash [07:48] Sattu: again, more useful details to the channel [07:48] nvme: dident bother to check delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2? [07:49] their has to be a quicker way to check for updates [07:49] iceroot: i have to to keep on connecting it again and again using the pon dsl-provider command [07:49] iceroot: works fine on windows (using dual boot) [07:50] Dr_Willis, sry i didnt realize you had given me a link :P [07:50] ok their are updates [07:50] Sattu: what do you think should we do with these infos? think about that we dount know your system we dont know the error messages. so none can/wants to help you with these infos [07:51] nvme: :) [07:51] Sattu: not working is a very bad description [07:51] iceroot: well i dont get any error messages [07:51] http://delicious.com/popular/grub2 [07:51] http://delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2 [07:51] iceroot: except that firefox cannot connect to the server [07:51] Dr_Willis, not sure what you mean by isofrom option, the disc i am trying to work with probably doesnt have that [07:52] iceroot: i get dynamic IP [07:52] ok, i'lll try again: i know where the super key is located, but i would like to know where "buttons 1-10" are [07:52] grub2=grub-pc? [07:52] iceroot: broadband [07:52] my friend set up the keyboard for certain compiz things [07:52] iceroot: wired [07:52] nvme: One thing to be VERY VERY clearn about.. You can NOT NOT NOT just boot ANY iso/disrto from grub2. the disrto MUST MUST MUST support some sort of 'fromiso' type option [07:52] iceroot: over ethernet [07:52] Sattu: what ubuntu version, what software for connecting, always the same time its disconnecting, what hardware? [07:52] nvme: so for example 9.10 can do it.. 8.04 CANT. [07:52] !enter | Sattu [07:52] Sattu: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:53] nvme: ive only found like 3 disrtos that can be booted from ISO via grub2 [07:53] Dr_Willis, rite.. but i dont want to directly boot an ISO, i just want to extract the ISO to a partition and boot whatever is in it [07:53] iceroot: 9.04, terminal used for connecting, [07:53] nvme: thats not the same as booting the iso then. :) [07:53] i have a wrong choice(Sort of XChat:Network List) anyone help me plz? [07:53] nvme: using grub2 saves you needing to extract it. [07:54] laoer, please explain [07:54] nvme: you are doing sort of what many disrtos call a 'frugal' install, Unetbootin ive heard can do that to a hard drive [07:54] Dr_Willis, well this disc doesnt have the isofrom crap probably, so how do i extract and add it to grub then ? [07:54] Dr_Willis, yeah unetbootin didnt work on this disk for some reason , it just crashes [07:54] iceroot: using modem, happening from a long time, [07:54] nvme: copy contents to hd. and then check out its syslinux/isolinux configs and convert to whatever bootloader you are going to use. [07:54] Dr_Willis, the disc is UBCD by the way [07:55] nvme: for every disrto Out i try that dont work with grub2 i go to their forums and ask them to support grub2 from iso options :) [07:55] laoer, lets keep it in channel please [07:55] iceroot: direct connect to the internet no local network (home computer) [07:55] nvme: you could always put syslinux on the hard drive and use grub2 to chainload it also. [07:55] ok [07:55] I'm on an compatition against an DualCore, what can I install to defeat my rival on Ubuntu= [07:55] ? [07:56] nvme: and yes. i have spent many an hr fighting/learning how these things work.. and some i can never get goi9ng right. [07:56] I have a 1.60 PIV [07:56] sargento: What sort of competition?

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [08:34] i am in a cafe using GSM mobile connection [08:34] as ive had alot of filesystem corruptions i want to be sure it doesnt go to hell =) [08:34] anyone ? [08:34] yy: let me guess are you trying to append to a file that requires super user privileges? [08:35] bazhang, yeah thats the one i am on, i dont see where it explains what i am looking for === root is now known as Guest50444 [08:35] @what{}: like tethering a phone? [08:35] well GSM Network [08:35] nvme, have you looked through the links dr_willis gave you yet [08:35] but i want to use Wireless internet connection [08:35] i cant find it in ubuntu 9.10 [08:36] dios_mio: ohh, it works but why does it show command not found8. [08:36] network manager isn't running in the top right corner of the screen? [08:36] bazhang, yeah he was talking about booting an actual .iso file with grub2, my live disc doesnt support that, i just want to extract it to its own HDD partition and boot it from there [08:36] yep it is running [08:36] but it doesnt display the wireless connection [08:36] yy: you use it like this: cat file1 > file2 [08:36] nvme, what iso [08:36] are you on a laptop?

[08:37] has it ever worked with 9.10? [08:37] phrix, mplayer and vlc will do === kb is now known as Guest99947 [08:37] yep [08:37] well i am trying to find it [08:38] dios_mio: yeah I did ./script > output [08:38] Running 8.10 but wondering if a linux only server will still work after 9.10 upgrade. [08:38] Has anyone used the Ubuntu One service? [08:38] it works but shows error in command [08:38] weird [08:38] c0nn0r: I would back up everything [08:38] C0nn0R: home server? or is this one doing a real job? [08:38] any idea;s rustyrat> [08:38] True [08:38] yy: is your script chmod +x? [08:38] Home Sever - SSH and web server. === C0nn0R is now known as LesserofTwoEvils [08:38] yup [08:38] chmod +rx [08:39] So things *should* be fine after upgrade right ? [08:39] LesserofTwoEvils: so it is accessing the internet/accessable frm the internet? or just a local lan? [08:39] I haven't upgraded yet... [08:39] ??? rustyrat? [08:39] bazhang, which one do u prefer between them..?? [08:39] what{}: has it ever worked [08:39] But wondering if it is worth to upgrade. [08:39] it worked with 9.06 [08:39] the new one i dont know [08:39] phrix, which version of ubuntu [08:39] Also how will dist-upgrades work with a custom kernel ? [08:40] what{}, there is no 9.06 [08:40] its always good to upgrade, I say. [08:40] LesserofTwoEvils: depends on what its doing. :) From a security poiint of view. newer releases will have longer life of security updates [08:40] well the older one [08:40] I have 2.6.31.5 running on netbook. [08:40] what{}: you might have to hook it up to a wired connection and then make sure all your restricted drivers are installed, i know broadcom chipsets are notoriously needy of proprietary drivers from the start [08:40] [vali], do you mind please looking into ktraffic and telling me where it's placed? === argonaut is now known as argonaut|sleep [08:40] anyone know how i can extract a bootable CD to a partition and boot it using grub2 ? [08:40] ok how can i install my drivers? [08:40] Dr_Willis: how well does a distro upgrade handle with a custom kernel ? [08:40] i am kinda new into linux tho [08:40] nvme: network boot [08:41] nvme: don't ask me how [08:41] what{}: hook it up to a wired internet connection [08:41] rustyrat, i wont because thats absurd [08:42] absurd is such a strong word [08:42] <[vali]> sys2: sorry for the delay... cant get the clipboard work between VM and the host... but there is a way to create a sources.list from scratch [08:43] [vali]? [08:43] Is there some good document on what the distribution upgrade consists of? I mean, an explanation regarding what's the effect of upgrading the distribution. [08:43] bazhang, I run karmic... [08:44] i love linux [08:44] I've switched from php mod to php cgi and now phpmyadmin doesn't get executed as PHP, it gets served as a normal file. Do you know what should I do to have it working again? [08:44] i love unix [08:44] ;) [08:44] [vali], ive got one from a pastebin =) [08:44] hello all [08:44] someone pasted for me :) [08:44] so its ok :) [08:44] i love gnu/linux [08:44] !ask > rgnr [08:44] rgnr, please see my private message [08:44] ;) [08:44] [vali]? [08:44] i hate windows [08:45] crazy2k , what do you want to know? are you willing to upgrade but dont know how to? [08:45] !ot | what{} [08:45] what{}: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:45] nvme: The OS has to support it [08:46] hype_: No. I do know how to. I want to know what happens, exactly. (eg. what else happens besides changing sources.lst and upgrading packages) [08:46] nvme: It's not possible to do ( with any bootloader ) unless the OS supports it [08:46] hey ppl [08:47] hi rgnr [08:47] lol [08:47] anyways [08:47] Jordan_U, the UBCD disc uses isolinux , shouldnt that be supported ? [08:47] cannot mount USB device [08:47] roflparrot, hi [08:48] !test [08:48] yes, I'm alive. [08:48] nvme: isolinux isn't the issue, it's the actual OS [08:48] how did you try to mount the usb device? [08:49] roflparrot: plug it in and it auto mounts [08:49] nvme: UBCD though has instructions for installing to a hard drive [08:49] roflparrot: if not then format it from karmic [08:49] roflparrot, usually I just plug it in and it mounts [08:49] crazy2k , okok, i'd say it depends on the release [08:49] roflparrot: then it will automount [08:49] nvme: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/download.html [08:49] roflparrot, but since karmic it gives me an error [08:49] that's a bit sad [08:49] rgnr: tried formating it? [08:50] hype_: Is there any page with that info? [08:50] rgnr: have you tried mounting it on another machine? [08:50] nvme: You can probably just setup grub to load the floppy images directly [08:50] which would be a more solidified certification/ UCP or Linux+ ? [08:50] nvme: Now that I look at what UBCD is [08:50] anyone know a text based msn client that still works? [08:51] crazy2k , from google, yep: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KarmicUpgrades [08:51] crazy2k , and i was right: you have one for every release [08:51] Jordan_U, right, i already have the ISO file, i just need to know how to set up grub and the partition type to use etc [08:51] roflparrot: did you last format the flash from windows ? [08:51] which would be a more solidified certification/ UCP or Linux+ ? [08:51] ext2 fs [08:51] om26er: rgnr has the flash drive [08:51] if you know a text based irc client too that would be cool [08:51] roflparrot: sounded like you have [08:51] turkeyshoot , irssi [08:52] is there any alternative to the standard gnome panel? because i find it looks ugly ... [08:52] rgnr: format it and then it will automount [08:52] nvme: Take all of the files from the iso and put them on the disk you want to install to [08:52] hype_, , cool, you know one for msn protocol? [08:52] freaky[t] , avant-window-navigator ? [08:52] hype_, dunno ... let me check ;D [08:52] Anybody knows how to make php5-cgi work? [08:52] Jordan_U, yeah did that, should i just use an ext3 partition ? [08:52] nvme: UBCD probably just chainloads the floppy images, so you can just use grub to chainload them directly [08:53] turkeyshoot: pidgin empathy(a/v call) [08:53] rgnr: do you have data on the flash drive that you need? [08:53] roflparrot, well, I've managed to mount in in terminal [08:53] turkeyshoot , you can try bitlbee http://www.bitlbee.org/main.php/news.r.html to tunnel msn and other protocols to irc via irssi [08:53] om26er, they can work in console? [08:53] nvme: Grub supports pretty much any file system, so whatever is convienient [08:53] which would be a more solidified certification/ UCP or Linux+ ? [08:53] turkeyshoot: no they are gui [08:53] roflparrot, with sudo mount -t vfat [08:53] turkeyshoot: irssi only i think [08:54] i think yep [08:54] i like weechat over irssi these days :) [08:54] om26er, hype_ , cool thanx guys, ill check it out [08:54] np [08:54] xm4n: UCP is distribution specific while Linux+ is vendor specific. [08:54] nice, I do not know ho0w to fix the automount problem but I think it might be in something called an fstab [08:54] !fstab [08:54] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [08:55] Jordan_U, okay, still not sure what to put in the menuentry for grub [08:55] and guys just sharing the "joy" call of duty modern warfare 2 works perfectlly using steam under wine :D [08:55] wait, Linux+ is NOT vendor-specific. I read . [08:55] hype_: Those are just issues and a howto. It's not clear what happens during the upgrade.. [08:55] roflparrot: i know the exact problem here. his filesystem is not made from ubuntu [08:55] xm4n: waht i meant is Linux+ is vendor neutral not specific [08:55] (formatted) [08:55] om26er: how would that be the problem? [08:55] xm4n: sorry to say that.. [08:55] oh ok LOL! [08:56] om26er: his usb drive IS formatted [08:56] crazy2k , you basically said everything: your ubuntu system is a set of packages, that every 6 months get updated [08:56] roflparrot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/318424/ [08:56] hype_, how do u use that manager? it covers my windows :( [08:56] woot! i just recieved google wave invite email [08:56] roflparrot, i t can be mounted but not automounted [08:57] can you see data on the device? [08:57] freaky[t] , Umm sorry what manager? [08:57] hype_, i mean Awn sorry [08:57] roflparrot, when it is mounted [08:57] live cd won't boot after remastering ubuntu 9.10, I used remastersys to create live cd .... [08:57] If i upgrade to 9.10, will i have any problems with any of my programs? Is it even worth upgrading? [08:57] nvme: Can you pastebin the isolinux config file from UBCD? [08:57] freaky[t] , you should have a panel sitting at the bottom of your screen, right? [08:58] hype_, yes [08:58] Lewis: if you need the new features upgrade.. if not.. dont :) [08:58] Lewis I have not upgraded yet. [08:58] schmeh [08:58] freaky[t] , click anywhere on it and go to > Dock preferences [08:58] Does anyone have a working example of an ip-up script for pptp? I can connect o.k., but my routes don't seem right. And I get this: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests [08:58] ok thanks :D [08:58] and hten? [08:58] *then [08:59] explore the perferances ? :) [08:59] does anyone have a google wave invite? [08:59] xterm: please keep on topic [08:59] sorry.. [08:59] thanks guys [09:00] freaky[t] , just add applets, like notification area, desktop switcher.... [09:00] hype_, it seems like it keeps crashing :( [09:00] ok thanks :D [09:00] freaky[t] , in the end you should be able replace a panel [09:00] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/318425/ [09:00] i found AWN a litlte.. flakey. [09:00] ok :D [09:00] guys, if you have time to take a look at this article http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7600/1.html hope you can provide your comments on this. [09:01] freaky[t] , check out this ppa https://edge.launchpad.net/~awn-testing/+archive/ppa to get a preview of the latest version (which is quite stable and has some nice features added) [09:01] jongie: care to give a summary about what its about? [09:01] hype_, do u have the panel on auto hide? [09:02] Dr_Willis: that title of the article is Hey Ubuntu, Stop Making Linux Look Bad [09:02] jongie , stupid post :( [09:02] Dr_Willis: "Ubuntu’s new Karmic Koala 9.10 release has been highly anticipated as the greatest release ever. In truth, it falls flat on its face in a time when Linux really needed to shine. " [09:02] by exemple, karmic is a pure transition release [09:02] jongie: sounds like more trolling/looking to rant about the big boys to gain attention [09:02] so it's crappy because you put in place stuff that will be usefull for years to come? [09:03] nvme: On the UBCD page it says "New! Run Ultimate Boot CD from your USB memory stick. A script on the CD prepares your USB memory stick so that it can be used on newer machines that supports booting from USB devices. You can access the same tools as you would from the CD version" [09:03] Theres to much of an attitude that it has to be 'the greatest' or it totally sucks.. [09:03] hi guys. [09:03] nvme: If you use that script it should work just as well from an internal drive [09:03] Dr_Willis: definitely, the author have come across inflaming the ubuntu community [09:03] hype_, do u have the panel on auto hide? and how do i add an ppa? [09:03] What is the condition of the Preferences->Mouse window to show a tab "Touchpad" ? [09:03] jongie: so hes getting hits on his site and thus getting exactly what he wanted.. more $$$ [09:04] I remember that I had it, and now I don't. [09:04] what can mess it up ? [09:04] Jordan_U, the script is completely messed up, i tried and it overwrote grub and when i tried to boot to the partition it didnt work [09:04] did that pastebin not help ? [09:04] if im going to run a machine as a server, but want to use X on it, do you recommend ubuntu server or ubuntu desktop? [09:05] hype_, ah nm found it [09:05] whats the differences?

It would be a lot easier for me if i didnt really have to use the secondary HD [10:08] Dr_Willis, already works how it should :) [10:08] Can anybody help me ...I am getting mysql error in ubuntu [10:08] http://pastebin.com/m695a9d6d [10:09] Jordan_U, ok thanks! someone told me the same info except the other way around, my suggestion was to create a menu entry in /etc/grub.d/ I had to create my own file when karmic was still in testing phase, thank you for the correction [10:09] MrPiracy: I'm not sure if it will confuse chameleon if it's loaded from a file instead of the mbr but you can use the chainloader command on files too with "chainloder (hd0,1)/boot/chameleon" [10:09] Snicksie: fuseiso can also mount .nrg and other odd formats i hear [10:10] why english only? [10:10] ok wtf does ubuntu hate logitech or something? I have my wireless mouse's reciever plugged in and ubuntu says my bluetooth keyboard is connected in the bluetooth menu in the status area, however neither of them do anything. Does anyone know why this is, and how I can fix it [10:10] MrPiracy: s/chainloder/chainloader [10:10] Dr_Willis, nice :) I'll use it when i need it ;) [10:10] ibmx41t: There are other language specific channels [10:10] joaopinto, i did chmod 775 /media/drive but it didnt work [10:11] nvme, sudo chmod?

[10:17] sorry that was meant to nvme [10:18] is there any chance of updating my home computer without internet ? [10:18] nvme, and tbw, the chown on the mount point is to be used after mounting, not before [10:18] btw [10:18] m4rtin, yes but its not letting me get read/write permissions past the root directory when i mount manually [10:18] in office i am working on 9.04 and in home i am working with 9.10 [10:18] nvme, fstab does not change that [10:19] nvme, ls -ltrd /media/boots (after mounting it) [10:19] grr thsi is so annoying can someone just give me the command for mounting it with rw permissions [10:19] i have a baby [10:19] MSK: your office version needs to be updated to 9.10 not the home its already 9.10 [10:19] MSK, Don't got internet at home?

[10:20] nvme, i suggest you use UUID in your fstab and chown the directory where you mounted the drive [10:20] tball: i dont have internet at home [10:20] blackshell: that's windows problem i think and reinstall is required [10:20] blackshell, boot into linux and undo the change that you did [10:20] MSK, Because of your ISP or the ubuntu 9.10 [10:21] MSK: download the iso and then [10:21] MSK: download the iso in your offive [10:21] nvme, not really, you don't understand how they work, because a few minutes ago you were doing a non sense thing, trying to fix a privileges issue by using a regular fstab entry, so instead of complaining, please read, and provide the output of the commands you were politely asked to do :) [10:21] !torrents | MSK [10:21] MSK: Karmic can be torrented from http://hr.releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture.

[10:25] I have a PATA drive that's taking hours to fsck. However, if I plug the SAME DRIVE into a PATA->SATA converter the fsck takes only 10 minutes [10:25] what the hell is going on here [10:25] Saz|Laptop_, most likely a driver issue [10:25] Anybody know why if I sudo open Nautilus is doesn't let me extract files to a folder, but it will let me copy? [10:25] oh .. thank u om26er .. if possible can u update in some site and provide me the link [10:25] yes i get frustrated hence im a troll [10:25] joaopinto, are you telling me there's no decent PATA driver for nforce2 boards? [10:25] BoriTori, that is more or a programming question which is off topic, you might want to ask in a programming channel [10:25] seriously, its nforce2. It's litereally years old [10:25] MSK: i have avery bitching upload speed will take time but if you can w8 an hour? [10:26] Saz|Laptop_, I am telling you that there is likely to be a driver issue,, I didn't commented about the drivers quality in general :) [10:26] BoriTori: ##java [10:26] BoriTori: "jruby script.rb > stdout.txt 2> stderr.txt" to save the errors and normal output to separate files [10:26] om26er:ok i will [10:26] BoriTori, you want to redirect stderr [10:26] joaopinto, latest kernel with latest modules debs on hardy, I haven't screwed with anything [10:26] BoriTori, program > file.txt 2>&1 [10:26] Has anyone tried the fglrx opencl driver in Ubuntu?

[10:28] ok, no idea on that :) [10:28] yes [10:28] when did 2.6.24 come out, January of last year? [10:28] after I installed today's updates for ubuntu 9.04, my audio went screwball and now it won't work - all audio is now a muffled garbled static sound. [10:28] can i give my mail id in this chat ? [10:28] MSK: do i upload it to ubuntu one [10:29] joaopinto, OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is a framework for writing programs that execute across heterogeneous platforms consisting of CPUs, GPUs, and other processors. [10:29] ok, its about 2 years old, still way newer than most nforce2 boards [10:29] but how can i login to that [10:29] MSK: rapidshare then [10:29] yes please [10:29] joaopinto, I'm working with highly costly parallel algorithms [10:29] Jordan_U, yeah i just decided to use a couple of different .iso files that can be booted with loopback instead [10:30] tball, ok :) [10:31] MSK: ok its uploading [10:31] om26er : thank u [10:34] hi all - any GRUB gurus here ? [10:35] moldor: he is called Dr_Willis but just type you question [10:35] Will a user cron job be executed without logged in as the user that owns the cron job? I mena, a root cron job will be run only having the server up and going, but how about a user cron job? [10:35] !grub | moldor [10:35] moldor: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [10:35] moldor: Ask your real question and find out [10:35] does ubuntu 9.10 ship with the firewall enabled by default? [10:36] :-)... OK- I've just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on an ASUS 1000HE which is also running OS X - it picked up the OS X installation, but won't boot it. KJust wondering if anyone has tried this before. [10:36] infid: yes i guess so [10:36] Valentina: it will always be run [10:36] * Dr_Willis is also making tea :) so is a little busy for a min. === kb is now known as Guest90647 [10:36] infid: no, you need enable via command line or with firestarter [10:37] infid: use "sudo ufw enable" [10:37] infid: theres no rules.. it has a fiurewall feture. but nothing is blocked [10:37] Dr_Willis: bt deafult it works with "denny policy" [10:37] BlouBlou, ufw is installed but is it enabled? [10:37] is there a command to see if it's enabled already [10:37] ufw is installed but disabled by default [10:37] infid: sudo iptables --list I think [10:37] mMezquitale: it's installed by default, but not enabled [10:37] no rules = nothing going on. [10:38] yeah iptables -L has no rules by default [10:38] firewalls in linux - is sort of the opposite direction of how windows handles firewalls :) [10:39] because firewalls in linux block everything by default? [10:39] opposite direction? [10:39] firewalls in linux = done right ! [10:39] infid: it deppends of wich policy do you use [10:39] infid: right now I have "allow all excepting ICMP", I have got router wifi, so I haven't got problems [10:39] the so-called application firewall in windows [10:40] llutz: Ok, thanks. [10:40] * om26er says infid wanna know is ubuntu secure [10:40] !iptables [10:40] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [10:40] blocks outgoing connects based on application md5sum etc etc [10:41] I'm totally lost with the new GRUB configuration [10:41] is a firewall really needed for practical purposes in a nonserver ubuntu installation? [10:41] what is alternate install dvd?? [10:41] moldor, what is your question about grub2? [10:41] sahilsk: languages [10:41] jauntyjoe0: you mean layer-7 filtlering [10:41] sahilsk: dvd=languages and alternate is non-gui [10:42] mMezquitale, It's picked up the OS X installation on my Hackintosh and created a GRUB entry, but it refuses to allow it to boot. [10:42] where do i set up powersaving functions? like when to go to powersave mode? [10:43] freaky[t]: add a processor applet [10:43] om26er: i am trying to install ubuntu via unetbootin from alternate install dvd. on booting i get non gui interface and it tried to connect and install from internet,instead of installing form pendrive. do u know ,what wrong with it? [10:43] *from [10:43] mMezquitale is there really such thing as a 'non-server' ubuntu install? even people who use it as a desktop often still allow ssh'ing in or apache user_dir [10:43] sahilsk: downlaod desktop cd instead of alternate [10:44] Is anyone here ? [10:44] no, noone [10:44] !test | Linux-IRC [10:44] Linux-IRC: yes, I'm alive. [10:44] If i do , dd if=f.iso of=/dev/sdc , what would be bs= ? by default ? [10:44] sahilsk: Don't worry. It also the same as GUI mode. But it is little bit lengthy. [10:44] om26er: what the difference between these two?? [10:44] moldor, im not familiar with crackedintoshes but I had the same problem in my laptop, the problem is that Ï had a /boot partition and another partition for /home and another for / and karmic was unable to boot because / and /boot where in different partitions [10:44] ubottu: Are you bot ? [10:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about Are you bot ? [10:44] lies! ubottu is non sentient [10:45] sahilsk: desktop cd is gui cd= simple install [10:45] What's the default bs for dd command ?

[10:46] mMezquitale, I've always had separate partitions, but in this case the Linux side is one for swap and everything else in 1. The OS X side is 1 for the bootloader, and one for OS X. I can get Ubuntu to dual-boot on the MacbookPro using rEFIt, a grub-like bootloader, but the hackintosh is giving me grief [10:46] jauntyjoe0: that would mean filtering the user, probably the best way :=) [10:46] sahilsk, what is your question about ubuntu studio? Please repost [10:47] MSK: once you extract tar.gz file. then from terminal browse to the directory and type sudo dpkg -i *.deb [10:47] MSK: http://rapidshare.com/files/306844636/restricted-extras.tar.gz [10:47] moldor, ok so your question is youre using grub2 and youre unable to boot up to some type of partition that you used to be able to boot up to using old grub with menu.lst? [10:47] actually, i visited the ubuntu studio home page and find only alternate install dvd . I tried to install via unetbootin, but it try to download and install files from the internet instead of instalin from my bootable pendrive. [10:48] mMezquitale, basically yes. I've tried OS X first, then Ubuntu - and vice versa. only the "first" os will boot. [10:49] sahilsk, log in to #ubuntustudio around 1PM USA eastern time and talk to the op, maybe he can help you [10:49] mMezquitale: thanks :) [10:50] mMezquitale, it's quite possible that GRUB2 can't handle this and I might have to do it another way... Or maybe I should just stick to Ubuntu on this box...:-)\ [10:50] om26er: In the future you should know that synaptic can create package download scripts so you don't need to upload a tar file to rapid share [10:50] Jordan_U: thanx [10:51] moldor, thereś a bug in grub2 where grub2 wont boot if you have different partitions for boot and / [10:51] om26er: np [10:52] mMezquitale, I noticed that, whicn is why I have everything in one part. [10:52] MSK: after extracting tar.gz delete the first file in it. that's adobe flash plugin but won't install until you have internet and i deleted ttf-mscorefonts-installer (that required internet ) [10:52] mMezquitale: If you have been hit by that there is an easy fix [10:52] i'm having issues getting update-grub2 to pick up my windows xp installation. it's a brand new install of both (installed xp, then karmic). i suspect it might be because ubuntu is on /dev/sda1 and windows xp is on /dev/sdb1, but i'm not sure if that matters or not... [10:52] mMezquitale : is there any solution for that problem? cause i think bug in grub2 affecting me. [10:53] dgs: Have you tried running "sudo update-grub" ? [10:53] just wondering, i know about the synaptic scripts.. but can apt-get or aptitude do the same? [10:53] Jordan_U, I was hit hard by that bug but I already found the solution, I created a file in /etc/grub.d/ then updated grub, im all good, can you help moldor please [10:53] petsounds, yes there is a solution please listen to Jordan_U [10:53] Jordan_U: how to make a script that you told me from synaptic [10:54] a few days back ,i edited my fstab file to autmatically mount the drives and after that i could not boot to windows ,,gives me an error,says "ntldr missing" [10:54] !offline | om26er [10:54] om26er: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script.

(not on ubuntu right now) [10:56] says there is no menu.lst, i mean [10:57] hi [10:57] blackshell, you either have to undo whatever changed you did in your fstab, dont ask the same question again otherwise you will be trolling, or fix whatever corruption you have in your hard drive, this is not related to ubuntu, changing settings in your fstab wont affect your redmond install unless your hard drive is dying [10:58] Jordan_U: that only downloads one package.

It's in the menu but it displays a message something like unrecognised signature. how do I go about fixing it?

[11:13] well whats the fix [11:13] krummlauf: netbooks are annoyin in how 'short' the screns are . use alt-click to drag windows UP higher. [11:13] dkg: If you are using grub2 try asking in #grub [11:13] Is it possible to remove the GRUB loader and just use the normal Windows Boot Menu?

[11:15] well, instead of buying a new 1000 dollar pc i got this [11:15] hi, anyone have any idea why I can redirect the output of ls like this , ls > logfile.log but I cant redirect the output of this vncserver > logfile.log ??? [11:15] then i had it dual boot for ubuntu [11:15] krummlauf: those windows are improved in karmic as compared to jaunty [11:15] pretty awesome [11:15] krummlauf: the various netbook interfaces may be worth looking into also. [11:15] im not planning to upgrade [11:16] i heard there were problems with the upgrade [11:16] krummlauf: still some games/programs just dont handle a 800 tall screen very well [11:16] amigojapan: try: vncserver > logfile.log 2>&1 [11:16] dr_willis: im not a gamer [11:16] amigojapan: vncserver is writing to stderr ( where error messages are sent ) try "vncserver 2> logfile.log" [11:16] krummlauf: not just games.. as you discovered [11:16] dr_willis: we can go back and forth forever [11:16] ccsm screen don't fit exacly [11:16] thanks for the advice though [11:16] thanx llutz and Jordan_U [11:16] krummlauf: nothing like lots of dialogs that are SUPER tall to get annoying. Gnome in 9.10 fixed a lot of those quirks [11:16] what does this error mean: "[ 18.534292] wifi%d: unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware revision not supported' (HAL status 13)" ? [11:17] hehehehe [11:17] ummmm [11:17] amigojapan: vncserver here puts a log in .vnc/* for my setup [11:17] ill try your first suggestion [11:17] i MAY consider upgrading [11:17] Is there a way I can install an older kernel than 2.6.31-15-generic that comes with ubuntu 9.10? [11:18] jarle: disable 2.6.31.14 [11:18] oh sorry === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [11:18] jarle: how old kernel? [11:18] Kernel 1.0.1 ? :) [11:18] jarle: newer kernels are better [11:19] worked like a charm! [11:19] om26er: 2.6.20 or so... [11:19] huzzahhhhhh [11:19] jarle: no [11:19] no upgrade 4 me hee hee! [11:19] netbook wins again! [11:19] !enter | krummlauf [11:19] krummlauf: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:19] opensasc-ng does not work with kernel 2.6.31 :( [11:19] !enter | om26er [11:19] om26er: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

Worthj checking out on a live flash drive at least some day [11:19] heheheheheheheh take that [11:19] anyone knows why alternate CD image still wants netconnection to download packages from? [11:20] dr_willis: i got ubuntu thru a website [11:20] cd-less [11:20] i cant thank the bloke who showed it to me enough [11:20] !usb | krummlauf [11:20] krummlauf: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [11:20] om26er: you dont even need a usb flash-drive! [11:21] The way i installed Ubuntu means it made a partition, but the partition doesn't have a name, and won't allow me to rename it or resize it or anything. It's really annoying because i'm running out of room in this partition. How do i give it a name? [11:22] Lewis: a name? [11:22] there was a man who had a partition and it didnt have a name-o [11:22] Lewis: look at fdisk -l [11:22] Lewis: i guess you really want to increase room in your Ubuntu's / [11:22] Lewis: they are called /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 and so on [11:23] Lewis: you can LABEL a ext2/3/4 fileysstem with the tune2fs command.. but not having a label wont prevent you frp, resizeing it [11:24] so when did wine make it a pain to run any program in sudo? [11:24] Saz|Laptop_: why running them with sudo? [11:24] cant say that ive ever needed to run a wine app as root.. [11:24] !resetpanels [11:24] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [11:25] iceroot, I have a program which needs access to devices in /dev/ [11:25] quit [11:25] I went into Windows 7 for it's partition manager. I took a look and saw my C Drive (Windows 7), System Reserved (for Windows 7), E Drive (all my personal files), and a blank partition that contains Ubuntu, and it won't let me resize it or anything. [11:25] Saz|Laptop_: then put the devices into wine [11:25] Saz|Laptop_: winecfg [11:25] iceroot, when running in wine WinHex allows you to put in /dev/sd* [11:25] wine accessing /dev/XXXX is sort of scary [11:25] q. i would like to have pidgin icon on the "notification area" when it is running, how can i do that ? [11:26] Dr_Willis, if the program supports it, I don't see what's the problem [11:26] winhex is the only program that will let me dump space marked as free on an NTFS partition [11:26] everything else will dump the entire drive [11:26] Saz|Laptop_: im suprised it even supports it. hope its not going to trash anything for you [11:26] hey iceroot how can i correct this? http://pastebin.com/d2b2bfa88 [11:27] iceroot, trying to compile gspca [11:27] Dr_Willis, it lists my partitions and I'm able to explore one of my NTFS partitions [11:27] hell, I'm able to load up my mac drive as well and it lists my HFS+ partition [11:27] eddym: as i said, ask the channel, i dont know [11:27] Saz|Laptop_: good luck. all i can say is. I hope you got backups handy also. [11:27] ok why is vlc freezing after i save changes [11:27] iceroot, np [11:27] I was surprised when I selected open disk and it specifically asked me for a linux device file [11:27] it totally did not expect me to figure out how to hit save [11:27] apparently the program is wine-aware === cleverton_ is now known as Clay1 [11:29] I didnt think wine identified itself in any way a program could figure out [11:29] Hey guys can someone here help me out please? === jongbergs_ is now known as jongbergs [11:30] Anyone? [11:30] q. i would like to have pidgin icon on the "notification area" when it is running, how can i do that ? [11:30] Clay1: the rule is to start asking questions in a single line [11:30] need help with xorg setup. is there a command to dump my current xorg setup into arbitrary xorg.conf file for further tweaking ? [11:30] jetienne_: it should give you the icon from the preferences menu [11:31] I am on ubuntu 9.10 [11:31] ninel: ? what do you mean ? which preference menu ? [11:31] press control+P in your pidgin @jetienne_ [11:31] I want to resize my Ubuntu partition, and be able to access it when im using Windows 7 (i have two OS' on here). I went into Windows 7 for it's partition manager. I took a look and saw my C Drive (Windows 7), System Reserved (for Windows 7), E Drive (all my personal files), and a blank partition that contains Ubuntu, and it won't let me resize it or anything. What do i do? [11:32] ninel: excelent, it did the job. thanks [11:32] hi [11:32] Lewis: Windows7 is blind about Linux partitions [11:32] !hi | manuel_ [11:32] manuel_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

I have about 400MB left :/ [11:33] i just wnat to know if the bugs in m is encthe reloasenotes of 910 are fixed now e [11:33] Lewis you can do that with LiveCD [11:33] manuel_: the bugs of releasenotes of 9.10 were from RC version, now they are fixed [11:33] manuel_: have a look at bugzilla/launchpad [11:33] !910 [11:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about 910 [11:33] !karmic [11:33] Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [11:33] om26er: the command is !karmic [11:34] ninel: i just put the LiveCD in, and then what? Will it give me the choice to resize the partition? [11:34] !botabuse | om26er [11:34] om26er: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". === matthew is now known as Guest53858 [11:34] are there any major bugs atm? [11:34] Lewis: nope not as simple as that [11:34] manuel_: have a look at bugzilla/launchpad [11:34] hgk [11:34] ninel: how complicated is it then? :/ [11:35] iceroot: i wanted the release notes and while typeing 9.10 the dot missed [11:35] manuel_: no, bugs will be fixing with normal updates, right now there aren't official bugs [11:35] Lewis: hold on Let me find you a solution [11:35] om26er: i have now tried the "alternative" boot cd, med into a usb-drive, and it gets to the stage where it demands a cd, and as i don't have one it refuses to go on? [11:35] ok [11:35] how many gigs would be an online update? [11:35] manuel_: about 700 mbs [11:36] leven: I have just upgraded using the 'alternate' CD it still takes huge amount of files from net [11:36] manuel_: samba related but is fixed in karmic [11:36] ninel: i got a fast connection so net is no problem [11:36] om26er: yesterday was samba's update [11:36] ninel: problem is i don't have a cd [11:36] i was telling that [11:37] leven: then you can upgrade from directly the .iso file [11:37] which I just have accomplished a bit ago [11:37] ok [11:37] please fix the notification system [11:37] ninel: i'm doing a clean install [11:37] jetienne_: what's up with it? [11:37] nothing to upgrade? [11:37] does a fully encrypted system works in karmic for example the boot passphrase etc [11:37] BlouBlou: i got one but it is blicking and in the middle of the screen [11:37] I recommend install ubuntu 9.10 without updating, for get ext4 and grub2 by default [11:38] jetienne_: I haven't got this problem [11:38] manuel_: I did a clean install with a new encrypted FS and it worked great [11:38] BlouBlou: even a modal ala vista would be better, as you can get rid of it [11:38] BlouBlou: lucky you :) [11:38] cause this is my work pc and it sould not be reinstalled [11:38] jetienne_: have you got any screenshot? [11:38] no i have to update 904 encrypted [11:39] BlouBlou: i can make you but you wont get the blink [11:39] BlouBlou: where can i upload it ? [11:39] dmesg what is that?

I'm unable to setup Google Talk accounts in Empathy; both my accounts read 'network error'. I couldn't find something obvious in Google (i.e., "Empathy and Google Talk are broken in 9.10"); anyone here knows what gives? [11:40] jetienne_: wait a second :) [11:40] om26er: what were you saying about the cd? [11:40] hey guys what is moblin?

[11:41] jetienne_: have you got empathy or pidgin? wait to contact, and when it connects, it will appear notification, then do screenshot [11:41] is there such a thing call ubuntu moblin remix? [11:41] O__o: ubuntu moblin remix when completed will be better than the original moblin and i can bet on that [11:41] Hi all, i am trying to record sounds on Jaunty from MIC. I can hear my voice in the speakers but if i try to use "Record sound" nothing is recorded [11:41] e/wc [11:42] O__o: moblin don't support a big number of apps to be installed can install gstreamer easily. and many many others app but in UMR you can do it all [11:42] O__o : i try ubuntu moblin remix on my eee pc 1000HE, too buggy. so i reinstalling with UNR :) [11:42] can't [11:43] can u install other linux app in moblin? [11:43] it looks quite nice on youtube [11:43] petsounds: its developers preview [11:43] om26er: netbook with no cd, trying usb-install, got it booted using a old 8.04 disc, but 9.04 and 9.10 drives and discs freeze right after the boot menu. and the alternative cd as usb-drive fails when it won't continue without a cd drive [11:43] Hi all, i am trying to record sounds on Jaunty from MIC. I can hear my voice in the speakers but if i try to use "Record sound" nothing is recorded [11:43] om26er : no doubt ;) === DJones_ is now known as DJones [11:44] Is there a way to dump my current xorg setup into arbitrary xorg.conf file ? === DJones is now known as Guest65766 [11:44] O__o: yes you might but UMR has got the big ubuntu software pakage database [11:44] (I currently do not have xorg.conf) [11:44] leven: i don't know what to sa === wertik_rus is now known as wertik_work [11:45] Does anyone here actually need help or am I wasting my time? === Guest65766 is now known as DJones [11:45] is moblin other linux distro? [11:45] om26er: think it is safe to install the 8.04 that works, and then upgrade? [11:45] or is it some kind of desktop environment? [11:46] leven: upgrade is always more prone to problems. [11:46] leven: sorry again cuz i never upgraded(just clean installed) and never tried 8.04 [11:46] sobersabre: thats why i havn't tried it yet.. [11:47] leven: haven't tried what yet ? an upgrade ? [11:47] the new wave in 9.10 looks quite nice [11:47] O__o: Thick fonts in App/Places/System? ;o [11:47] I upgrade from 5.10->6.04->6.10->7.10->8.10 [11:48] leaf-sheep, what do u mean? [11:48] leven: i am only 4months into ubuntu [11:48] om26er: haha ok =) [11:48] leven: mean i installed it in june [11:48] Hi. Is it possible to combine contacts in Empathy? (same person from two different IM services?) [11:48] teolicy: no [11:49] om26er, that's terrible. Is it possible in Pidgin? [11:49] teolicy: I think so... but only the grouping thing. [11:49] teolicy: although you can make different groups [11:49] I think pidgin syncs group names to be the same on all accounts. [11:49] teolicy: same with pidgin [11:49] O__o: I'll take a picture. [11:50] sobersabre, om26er: What does that mean? Say I have a friend called Mike on MSN and ICQ, I create a group called "Mike"? [11:50] (and put him there?) [11:50] teolicy: yes [11:50] Ugh. [11:50] Well, thanks anyway for the info. === kb is now known as Guest51275 [11:50] teolicy: or you can remove him from one service [11:50] teolicy: or just block [11:51] teolicy: after he is the same person [11:51] I switched to Ubuntu from OSX, where I used the IM client Adium. It had excellent contact combining feature, I really miss it now. [11:51] I [11:52] I'll survive though. Thanks again, see you later. [11:52] does ubuntu have all the system calls like pthread and mmap? [11:52] Pashka, probably, depends on what you mean by "all". pthread and mmap are definitely there. [11:52] has anyone been able to boot XBMC live from ISO with grub2 ? [11:53] teolicy: I don't exactly what you mean, but if you have several similar usernames from diff. services, they appear in pidgin as several users. [11:53] O__o: http://tinyurl.com/ykuuuch [11:53] hi [11:53] I want OS with at least enough calls to create my own os [11:53] i cant get vlc to interact with my usb-speakers, what am i doing wrong? [11:53] Pashka: ubuntu is a gnu/linux system like all. [11:53] O__o: That is the only thing I hate about New_Wave theme. [11:53] teolicy: request it at upstream for empathy might get fixed in 2.6.30 [11:53] i'm looking for a dockbar for kubuntu karmic, anyone have an idea ? [11:54] Pashka: are you a troll ? :) you want an OS to create you own OS ? [11:54] 2.30 [11:54] hi, someone knows how to permanently disable wlan? (to reduce power consumption) [11:54] om26er, thanks, I might do that. [11:54] ohmy use awn-manager avant navigation panel [11:54] bye bye [11:54] leaf-sheep, but it is a big improvement from the ugly orange [11:54] diekrise: via software or what ? [11:54] Anyway, gotta go. Later. [11:54] well I want to take a class CSC 159 we will be creating OS there and I would like to use my laptop at work where I dont have internet [11:55] sobersabre, how else? [11:55] how to transfer empathy accounts from one computer to another? [11:55] leaf-sheep, the only thing i dont like in new wave is the faded orange color in the highlight menu [11:55] Hi all [11:55] Hey guys [11:55] !hi | Clay1 [11:55] Clay1: 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! [11:55] leaf-sheep, the solid orange look better than the faded orange [11:55] ninel, thank you [11:55] Pashka: I think you have your CSC 159 (whatever that means) guiding lines. and they probably suggest you what to use and what NOT to use. [11:55] leaf-sheep: Oh you're talking about New Wave. I checked my theme. Apparently I was talking about Dust. :o [11:55] Hello all. : ) [11:55] hey all. I'm am wanting to make usb boot disk for installing ubuntu netbook remix, but I can't find a link to the .img files only .iso files - and I can't figure out how to use .iso -> usb on a Mac [11:56] any suggestions? [11:56] I just installed my new visiontek radeon 2600 HD Pro! [11:56] !usb > jjh [11:56] jjh, please see my private message [11:56] if you mean a CS course at a university, then simply contact their course staff. [11:56] they will suggest to use Tal Net witch requires internet [11:56] !usb | jjh [11:56] jjh: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [11:56] I also just installed Ubuntu 9.10! [11:56] diekrise: I think this thing is driver dependant i.e. some cards would allow this and some won't. [11:56] jjh: w8 leteme find it for you [11:56] I need some help with my video card. Ubuntu wont let me install anything 3d or extra my desktop graphics. I think its a driver issue but im not sure where/how to download and install a driver for unbuntu, can i get some help? [11:56] Without the closed Ati driver the display is choppy; with the closed Ati driver the display is just unusable. [11:56] I think the IBM Thinkpads allow this with intel ipw2200 cards. [11:57] Is there anything I can try to fix this? [11:57] ubottu: thanks, but that doesn't have any info for Mac's [11:57] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:57] sobersabre, i can right click [11:57] <``Cube> hi im trying to compile gfire and it needs openssl-dev. i found out that on ubuntu its called libssl-dev, which i already have installed, but when trying to AUTOGEN.SH the gfire svn, it gives me following line: src/Makefile.am:72: variable `SSL_LIBS' not defined [11:57] diekrise: right click who ? [11:57] sobersabre, i can right click on networkmanager and disable it. But is not stored over reboot [11:57] stratus, do you know how to make threads print one after another using mutex [11:57] jjh: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.iso [11:58] Thanks om26er. I've got the iso but I can't figure out how to get that on a USB stick on a Mac [11:58] <``Cube> hi im trying to compile gfire and it needs openssl-dev. i found out that on ubuntu its called libssl-dev, which i already have▒│ [11:58] diekrise: I don't know if this is fixable "out of the box". [11:58] <``Cube> │installed, but when trying to AUTOGEN.SH the gfire svn, it gives me following line: src/Makefile.am:72: variable `SSL_LIBS' not defined [11:58] jjh: and from 9.10 ubuntu netbook remix comes on an iso file [11:58] Pashka; nope. ; ) [11:58] Instructions page is for Windows or Linux [11:58] Pashka; I'm a quick learn though... [11:58] om26er - Got that, but how do I put an iso onto a USB stick on a Mac [11:59] : ) [11:59] That's my question [11:59] can anyone see my msgs? i don't think this client is working. [11:59] sobersabre, thanks anyway. I already thought that there is no easy way. So ill try to blacklist some modules. [11:59] jjh: w8 [11:59] thats what I want to learn stratus [11:59] Clay1: can see your msg [11:59] <``Cube> hi im trying to compile gfire and it needs openssl-dev. i found out that on ubuntu its called libssl-dev, which i already have▒│ [11:59] <``Cube> │installed, but when trying to AUTOGEN.SH the gfire svn, it gives me following line: src/Makefile.am:72: variable `SSL_LIBS' not defined [11:59] Clay1: open system>administration>hardware drivers any drivers in there you can enable? [11:59] diekrise: you may want to add a special file to be included in the blacklist. [11:59] and you may manipulate that file with a script... [11:59] Pashka; I can get back to you on that. [11:59] I think there's an "include" directive there. [11:59] sec legend, and thx for helping [11:59] is there a pipeline in threads [11:59] jjh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles [12:00] why ubuntu is so obsess in the orange color?? or sometimes brownish orange? [12:00] Cube: that error is probably a fault in Makefile.am, a proper script would give you a better error message [12:00] that would be nice stratus [12:00] jjh: scroll to the end of the page [12:00] what is the minimum hardware requrements for ubuntu ? [12:00] jjh: no but its for .img [12:00] is there anybody proficient with pulseaudio ? [12:00] can ubuntu hire some other better designer? [12:00] Pashka; do get back to me though on my display woes -- fair trade. [12:01] <``Cube> diwic: thanks [12:01] O__o: do you have something specific to say ? [12:01] :) [12:01] <``Cube> O__o: whats wrong!?!? im a designer [12:01] what are your woes? stratus? [12:01] HM it seems my graphics card wasn't enabled, let me see if i can enable it and see if it works. Tell you ina min [12:01] I think i hate karmic, and i think it hates me. [12:01] O__o: just change your color. Ubuntu has got great designers, not liking a colour doesn't they're not good. [12:01] aditu: depends on what you want to do. ive ran it on some very low end machines. [12:01] om26er: I've used those instructions previously - but I can't find a copy of a .img file for UMR Karmic [12:01] mean* [12:01] How do you rescue a frozen Ubuntu system where you can move the cursor but the system is unresponsive in every other way? This seems to happen to my laptop once or twice a week [12:01] om26er: only .iso [12:01] courpse: I think you both need a couple councelling.... [12:01] sobersabre, not certain about pulseaudio, but shoot === kb is now known as Guest30075 [12:01] sobersabre, So do i, :( [12:02] diwic: I have a conceptually problematic situation :) [12:02] diwic: do you know what is "Skype" application ? [12:02] Pashka: I just installed an Vistiontek radeon 2600 HD Pro that doesn't work at all (choppy without the closed drivers; unusable with the closed drivers). [12:02] Dr_Willis i whant to use for a personal server [12:02] jjh: I think they got rid of the img files for karmic. [12:02] i mean the new default theme in 9.10 is just plain ugly [12:02] 0__o : " can ubuntu hire some other better designer? " try shiki-colors! [12:02] aditu: a Pent 100 can work as a 'server' :) [12:03] O__o: what is ugly in your opinion, mr. O__o ? [12:03] sobersabre, haven't used it myself, but I remember some bugreports talking about using the beta with a pulseaudio backend... [12:03] *Visiontek radeon 2600 HD pro. [12:03] the default in 9.04 is 10 times better [12:03] O__o: its not. But you can change it if you don't like it. [12:03] So does anyone know how I should make use of the iso files using a Mac [12:03] diwic: I didn't ask you that... :) [12:03] Dr_Willis: Thanks, that's what I'm figuring - but can't figure out how to use the iso file [12:03] the dark brown just look not right [12:03] jjh: burn it maybe? [12:03] I am asking if you know what is this application, and ~how it works~ from sound devices perspective. [12:03] jjh: with unetbootin or the usb-startup-disk creator tool i belive [12:03] How to set up postfix to send using php? [12:03] jjh: or setup grub2 on a flash drive and make it boot the iso file [12:03] and the loading screen, the color look like washed... [12:04] Dr_Willis: problem is as far as I can tell unetbootin and usb-startup-disk creator are both Windows/Linux only [12:04] jjh: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/maciso [12:04] O__o: you are trolling, which is in itself ok... but do you actually have anything to say except the vague "I don't like brown" ? [12:04] jjh: a live cd on the machine can run the usb-startup-creator but thats may be back to where you started. :) [12:04] legend2440, thanks for the driver graphic insight while it downloads and installs though maybe you could help me with this other issue? MY microphone isn't working on unbuntu but perfectly fine on windows. Ive checked for common mistakes like being mutated and whatnot but it seems to simply not recognize a microphone exists. I know its a broad margin for error but maybe you could help me here. [12:05] * Dr_Willis thinks the new ubuntu default colors should be Pink and Lilac. [12:05] sobersabre; I don't think so... [12:05] * sobersabre isn't canonical employee, so I can be not 100% politically correct :) [12:05] its not just me, even my colleagues said so after i upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 [12:05] O__o: just change the colours!!! [12:05] So take the 20 sec it takes to change your theme. [12:05] skysong: Thanks for your help, but unfortunately those instructions will only let you burn to cd, not usb [12:05] i change it to new wave [12:05] which is better [12:06] I got nice anime xsplash/gdm wallpaper also [12:06] So is anyone else having any Radeon graphics card issues? [12:06] i am stratus [12:06] i mean does ubuntu take a surrey before designing on the default color theme? [12:06] HOwever legend just i think helped me out. [12:06] Clay1; what kind? [12:06] jjh: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=598291 [12:06] O__o: I have heard of this website gnome-looks or something. and they have a huge amount of visual additions you can install - GDM themes, bootsplash themes, Backgrounds, Icons, generally stuff. [12:06] 'ello. I've got a small problem regarding sendmail and exim4. I'm trying to send mail from php, but it seems that the mails just get into the queue just stay there. [12:06] Basically it wont let me use any 3d or high graphics. [12:07] sobersabre, i know that site [12:07] I've even tried sendmail -q to force a queue run, but nothing happens [12:07] sobersabre: there's kde look as well as xfce-look [12:07] :s [12:07] hey guys i don t wanna use [12:07] * sobersabre hands O__o a poisoned troll cake.... [12:07] Clay1; is it choppy? Are you using the proprietary driver? [12:07] pidgen [12:07] What does it mean if my Ubuntu system freezes and is unresponsive to all input, including CTRL-ALT-F(1-7), but my mouse cursor still moves around? how do I fix this and/or prevent it? it happens once or twice a week [12:07] And i was pretty sure it was because of drivers. GO to systems>administration>hardware drivers. And see if it gives you the option to activate your graphics driver. [12:07] tried reconfiguring exim4, and i think it just got worse :< [12:07] Hi, UbuntuUsers! [12:07] but why ubuntu cant choose a better default color screen that is more appealing to the public? [12:07] kopete [12:07] what the topic of today?? [12:07] can we whare it.. [12:07] maelstrom: is it possible your hardware overheats ? [12:08] Clay1; the problem is worst with the proprietary driver -- still bad without it. [12:08] do someone tell what comunicator i should use [12:08] Reallyu [12:08] HM [12:08] Clay1: i havent used a Mic in a while but these are the instructions i used to get mine working with my audio card. anyway you can try these instructions if you want http://paste.ubuntu.com/318544/ [12:08] Clay1: The option is there I just can't use it (it breaks my system). [12:08] and i need audio and video suport [12:09] /ignore O__o [12:09] Thx legend [12:09] oops. [12:09] anybody? :< [12:09] how can i start a screen detached and execute a command in it? [12:09] for use in a cron [12:09] osvaldo: use pidgin, it supports all the wellknown protocols.. ive been using empathy in debian, works fine as well [12:09] Yea i dunno stratus it seems unbuntu 9.10 is giving general driver issues [12:09] Clay1; thanks. [12:09] Hello. I want use two netwoks at same time, Vlc plays on Eth and internet is over Wlan [12:10] Clay1; I actually installed 9.04 and the problems were exactly the same. [12:10] Clay1: does your card doesn't have any 3D drivers for linux ? [12:10] it should be listed in the drivers ATI provides. [12:10] too long to make login pidgen [12:10] anyone? [12:10] or NOT listed. [12:10] just need to start a detached screen and execute a command in it [12:10] What is the proper way to configure exim4 so that it would send mails? :< [12:10] JmZ: what do you mean "start a screen detached" ? [12:10] detached from what ? [12:10] I don't think so sober. But im downloding the proprietary right now. I have a radeo 3100. [12:10] sobersabre: i mean create a screen (the screen command) but detached, do not attach to it [12:11] radeon* [12:11] so it can be used in a cron job [12:11] nexsja: there's a package called exim4-config something.. [12:11] 'screen' is a must learn tool :) [12:11] so you need to dpkg-reconfigure that package. [12:11] screen -dm somename opens the screen [12:11] How can i format a floppy ?? [12:11] i need another w suports audio and video [12:11] but i cant seem to execute a command on it [12:11] stratus you can try add fglrx to WHITELIST in /usr/bin/compiz see if that solves it [12:11] sobersabre, yes, i'run ran it several times, tried the default configuration, still nothing :< [12:12] Hey everyone! tell me private, how to open chat? i don't know... :D [12:12] Pashka; I could try. Does it not matter that I have all the graphics toys turned off? [12:13] Pashka; set to "Normal" is System -> Prefrences -> Appearence? [12:13] dell puhutko suomee? [12:13] JmZ: what is your motivation of creating a detached screen ? [12:13] anyone tell me how to speed up ubuntu 9.10 and the internet [12:13] dont know [12:14] someone can tell me how to format a floppy [12:14] I mean ... if you don't need it NOW (i.e. you're not going to use it now) WHY the hell to run it ? [12:14] PUHUUKO TÄÄL KUKAAN SUOMEE!!! :D [12:14] someone tell me what a computer is? [12:14] JmZ: are you there ? [12:14] njin: http://linux.die.net/man/8/floppy [12:14] sobersabre: yes [12:14] so, can you answer my Q. ? [12:14] i want to automatically create two screens when logging in [12:15] one which contains an SSH session [12:15] Can anybody here help me with sendmail, please? [12:15] should i go for 8 bit or 16 bit when buying a computer? [12:15] jauntyjoe0: Please stay ontopic. [12:15] !ask | nexsja [12:15] nexsja: 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. :-) [12:15] Aff legend2440, my issue i exactly this that guide tells me to go there and test my "mic" thing ect. But it dosen't have a mic thing. ITs like the system isn't recognizing it. [12:15] JmZ: I see it like this: if I want to run something in a screen, I can understand. but, why to do this without running anything... no idea. [12:15] BlouBlou, i've asked 3 times, still no answer. This is shorter >_< [12:15] I don't have the CD of ubuntu anymore, but while trying to install ndiswrapper, it's asking for it. Can't it just download it from the web? Synaptic, i.e. ? [12:16] JmZ: and you probably can do this with expect script. [12:16] JmZ: do you know what "expect" program is ? [12:16] sobersabre: what do you mean "why to do this without running anything"? [12:16] Asad-away: Yeah, just disable the CD source from your repositories and it won't ask for it [12:16] i clearly said i wanted to run something [12:16] try expect. [12:16] stratus grep "WHITELIST" /usr/bin/compiz and change it to look like something like this WHITELIST="nvidia intel ati radeon i810 fglrx" [12:16] where to do that Flannel ? [12:16] is there somewhay i can download a driver for my sound card? [12:16] it allows you to spill things into stdin based on what you get on stdout/err. [12:17] oh nm .. ty Fl [12:17] Asad-away: Software sources/Properites (under System > Administration) [12:17] some way* [12:17] I'm trying to send mail from php using the standart mail() function. The mail doesn't get delivered. It just winds up in a queue line. I've tried reconfiguring exim4 -> unsuccessful. Can anybody help with that? [12:17] and you will be able to send the commands like: "ssh bla@bla; " [12:17] sobersabre: i only want to run a command in a screen, it seems a little excessive to use expect [12:18] surely theres just a screen command [12:18] JmZ: I am not sure.... :) [12:18] nexsja: does it need a mail server running on the local machine? [12:18] JmZ: Yes, of course that's possible. [12:18] nexsja: if you don't want it to send anything... why run it ? [12:18] frogzoo, i don't think so. It uses the sendmail function with -t -i parameters, if i remember correctly [12:18] Pashka; before I do that I really need to know it anything compiz is running. If I'm going to try to run the proprietary driver again I want to make sure it's worth breaking my system again. [12:18] JmZ: /usr/bin/screen -dmS i think [12:18] is it possible to install catalyst 9.10 on karmic with radeon ati card (non HD) ? [12:19] tell me someone how i can open another chat room... allways there isn't anybody when i go some chatroom please help me [12:19] sobersabre, that's the point. i want to send mail with it. I need php to send mail with it. [12:19] SnoopyDog, what irc client are you using? [12:19] nexsja: what exactly do you need to do ? [12:19] hi [12:19] Pashka; OK I'll try it. [12:19] sumaiya: hi. [12:19] I have this issue ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [12:19] stupid question - if a #.deb is X megs, will it take much more than X megs to install? [12:20] Pashka; be right back... ; ) [12:20] sumaiya: this usually means your mysql server is DEAD... [12:20] frogzoo, short answer: It depends [12:20] JmZ: -dm causing screen to start detached and ignore $sty env (as manual says: "usual for system startup scripts") [12:20] but what to do [12:20] sobersabre, i need to send mails from php using mail() command witch uses 'sendmail -t- -i) [12:20] nyantai_f [12:20] sumaiya: to run a mysql server... [12:20] diwic: they're gzipped, no? [12:20] diwic i don't know... i've never before use IRC... :D [12:20] k === Marius_ is now known as halden [12:20] frogzoo, yes, tar.gz [12:21] Mysql already run [12:21] ah, kk, thx [12:21] nexsja: ok, so why don't you use the "smarthost" approach ? [12:21] sobersabre, Mysql already run [12:21] I mean exim4 conf. profile. [12:21] sobersabre, should i use default settings for that too? [12:21] SnoopyDog, what program are you chatting in? [12:21] sumaiya: how sure are you? can you connect to it yourself ? [12:21] nexsja: I think so. [12:21] diwic this is smuxi [12:22] sobersabre, in synpatic all the packeges are marked as installed [12:22] smarthost listens only on localhost, and sends things as client... [12:22] Pashka; that's already in /usr/bin/compiz... [12:22] sumaiya: do ALL the programs you have installed RUN now ? [12:22] Pashka; mine also includes radeonhd [12:23] hmm [12:23] SnoopyDog, I can assume it uses standard commands then, try /join #channel-name [12:23] sumaiya: ... so ? [12:23] :) [12:23] sobersabre, ok [12:23] diwic okay. i'll try [12:23] SnoopyDog, to get a list of rooms, that usually in the menues somewhere [12:24] sumaiya: do you understand the diff between "installed" and "configured + running" ? [12:24] stratus BTW, also post the output of the following two commands (just to sanity check)cgrep -i "driver" /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:24] lsmod | grep fglrx [12:24] Edit: and [12:24] glxinfo | grep rendering [12:24] Pashka: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:24] sobersabre, yes [12:24] i m trying [12:24] diwic no... there isn't anybody else, but there should be about many many people [12:24] Anyone tried running postfix with php5 on karmic and have problems with the php mail(); function? [12:24] sumaiya: check if you're mysql server i running: use this command in terminal: "sudo service mysql status" [12:24] sobersabre, done that. Still the mails won't send. I've got something in exim's maillog, don't quite understand it [12:25] <``Cube> when trying to configure gfire, i get the following error http://pastebin.com/m358ecb47 [12:25] oCean_, ok [12:25] SnoopyDog, what channel? [12:25] Pashka; I have no xorg.conf... [12:26] oCean_, its giving Mysql is stopped [12:26] nexsja: what are you planning to send the emails via ? [12:26] like #irc-galleria [12:26] hi,is there a tool to limit the bandwidth [12:26] sumaiya: then connecting would be a problem yes [12:26] fungo: yes several [12:26] diwic like #irc-galleria [12:26] sumaiya: are you on ubuntu 9.10 or earlier ? [12:26] sobersabre, right now i have exim, though a friend of mine just suggested to use postfix, so installing that [12:26] fglrx is not loaded [12:26] Pashka; fglrx is not loaded... [12:26] sumaiya: now use "sudo service mysql start" [12:26] oCean_, sobersabre , but when i start the service it gives fail [12:26] nexsja: can you answer the question ? [12:27] <``Cube> when trying to configure gfire, i get the following error http://pastebin.com/m358ecb47 [12:27] why dont you load it [12:27] sumaiya: when it fails, it should create a log message in /var/log/syslog. [12:27] hey guys can someone please help me out. my system won't boot as it gets stuck at initramfs... basically i have raid striped which karmic installs on ok then on reboot it's stuck at initramfs, i have read there is a bug where you need to do dpkg-reconfigure mdadm after installation but i can't run this from initramfs prompt as it doesn't recognise the command... [12:27] Pashka; direct rendering yes [12:27] sobersabre, i thought i did. Or i misunderstood you then [12:27] for example [12:27] sobersabre, let me check === |dinya| is now known as dinya [12:27] nexsja: let's start from the start: you want the mail() function to send emails from your computer, to where ? [12:28] to the world ? [12:28] sobersabre, yes [12:28] Pashka: I never loaded fglrx by hand; I just activate it in closed drivers. [12:28] ok. for this you say you don't want to listen on eth0 (or whatever), but send as client for another MTA. [12:28] sobersabre, its saying Nov 14 17:57:17 sumaiya /etc/init.d/mysql[8278]: Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists! [12:28] sobersabre, what does it mean? [12:29] * courpse is having problems with MTA as well, :( [12:29] this means you need to tell exim4 what is that another MTA (i.e. SMTP server), and what username to use (and probably authenticate) [12:29] Pashka; no I don't have an xorg.conf file right now either; I had to delete it to get X to start. [12:29] postfix and php5 mail(); hate each other. [12:29] nexsja: are you with me ? [12:29] sobersabre, yes. I've answered "yes" :) [12:29] sobersabre, SMTP message for me? [12:30] Pashka; I can use the display preferences to write an xorg.conf but if I do that before I load the proprietary driver it breaks. [12:30] Pashka; sound like fun? [12:30] sumaiya: no. [12:30] : ) [12:30] no [12:30] not fun [12:30] exit [12:30] nexsja: so did you do all this ? [12:31] nexsja: something like this: http://www.glorat.net/2008/11/ubuntu-804-hardy-gmail-smarthost-setup-with-exim4.html [12:31] sumaiya: now I am with you. [12:31] :) [12:31] Pashka; brb. [12:31] hellow, I'm trying to make my wake on lan work but my router just doesn't allow any wol packages true It's a WRT54GCv3. My computer is correctly configured, and does support WOL. Can anyone help me? [12:31] sumaiya: When using the command "sudo service mysql start", what is the error you get? Besides just "fail" ? [12:32] hi [12:32] sobersabre, sorry, i've lost you with no highlight that time. Got it, i need to set up an MTA whatever that is... i'll read the link, thanks :) [12:32] sobersabre, yes [12:32] at initramfs i get alert "/dev/mapper/nvidia_dcfadeef2 does not exist" [12:33] anyone can recommend a good terminal with transparency and mouse support? [12:33] sumaiya: so, the error you got says you don't have a socket file. can you check this yourself ?

But when I want to close down my desktop computer I still want the server to be up and running.

How do I stop using the ssh connection that I created using ssh username... Just stop ssh-ing, [13:21] lotec: you there? [13:21] there is some problem with my recording [13:21] jongbergs: I have red about "close" or "exit but don't know what to use when I don't want to control the server anymore.

[13:23] the record control gets mute even if i unmute [13:23] so i cant record [13:23] Valentina: The server will always stay up (unless you run "shutdown" of course) [13:23] is there anyone in here that had sucess with installing ubuntu on the XO? [13:23] grawity: Ok, but I want log out as user from my server then, like I do running log out at my desktop? [13:23] If chromium is googl's chrome why have a different name ? [13:23] Valentina: I'm assuming you are running some sort of application and do not wish for it to terminate when you log out. If that's the case, then just use screen [13:23] Valentina: i don't see anything wrong with "exit" command..it's just that you stop the current connection but the server is still ALIVE. [13:24] why isnt anyone replying? [13:24] tarelerulz: Chromium is the development version, I guess... [13:24] jrib: Well, I only run cron jobs. [13:24] tarelerulz, if you install chromium it will install a game not google chrom [13:24] mmkay. I just installed wubi [13:24] Valentina: then I don't understand your question [13:24] with the newest ubuntu distro [13:24] tarelerulz, at least with sudo apt-get install [13:24] package name is chromium-browser i recall === anon560 is now known as plustax [13:24] is anyone available for PM support?

[13:25] jongbergs ;so i cant record [13:25] Wel, my question is very simple actually. I just wnat to stop using the ssh for a couple of hours and shutdown my desktop but I don't really know how to do that without "damaging" the server or something. I guess the exit is the answer of my question. [13:25] What is the difference between exit and close then? [13:26] Valentina: Only one: "close" is not a real command. [13:26] the problem with PM support is that others cant' correct mistakes and also cannot benefit from listening in [13:26] !XO [13:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about XO [13:26] I have version of chrome on here ,but its unstalble sometimes and I just wanted something I can update [13:26] !OLPC [13:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about OLPC [13:26] haven489, what is XD [13:26] !botabuse > haven489 [13:26] the record control gets mute even if i unmute [13:26] haven489, please see my private message [13:26] grawity: Ok, well, I'll use exit then.

But I don't want anyon to hack my server so therefore I was a little bit worried about ssh listening for connections. [13:43] the network works now, what does it mean to verify it with ifconfig? [13:44] bazhang: thanks for the help and the URL's you are a very helpful and resourceful person. [13:44] !ifconfig [13:44] Diablo75 thank you for your help. [13:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about ifconfig [13:44] by all [13:44] rumbold: yeah, that's it..i mean the command ifconfig let's you know what's your ip address [13:44] Valentina: If you're worried about hackers, setup a strong password that can't be guessed [13:44] jrib, could you please elaborate? [13:44] Valentina: or use ssh keys [13:44] letsgo67: you're welcome [13:45] diablo75: Already done, I'm using a 8+ password generated by Ubuntu apg software. [13:45] Diablo75 Yes. :) Can't I use command line to check? [13:45] Psinetic: not really. dump your memory somewhere and search for it. memdump and grep I guess. There's probably a smarter way, this is just a suggestion [13:45] jrib: Yeah, another thing to learn. I'll but it will take some time, I've lot of other things to do too, unfortunately. [13:45] gravity: http://paste.ubuntu.com/318611/ I think i need to change the owner to smiths [13:45] Valentina: you can also configure ssh to listen to specific ip address for added security [13:45] letsgo67: I'm sure there's an command that would show you what you need to see but I don't know what it is... Sorry. [13:46] jrib ..um....well, thanks for the help, but it's not helpful if i have no idea what you're saying to do. i'll go look elsewhere. thanks though! :) [13:46] jongbergs: Ok, that may be a good one too.

I basically need to receive one e-mail on the domain in order to setup my permanent e-mail server properly. Any ideas?

[13:46] gravity: lol tring [13:46] !ssh | Valentina [13:46] Valentina: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [13:46] Psinetic: googling the commands I told you or read about what they do would probably help [13:46] aLeSD: when does the setting revert itself? [13:47] snuffy47: Eh. I'm going to be killed for this, but just use "sudo -s" and do what you need to do. Then type 'exit' to go back to your user. [13:47] hello, how can I change the group of every single file within a folder without effecting the user? 'chown user.group *' is what I would usually do, but the users are different and I only need to change the group. [13:47] gravity: u are not the first person to tell me that. but it shouldnt be that difficult [13:47] Valentina: If you do tell ssh to filter based on the clients IP address, remember that it is subject to change on you without notice from your ISP or just by connecting from different locations. [13:47] sskk: Postfix is quite simple. Especially in Debian/Ubuntu. [13:48] sskk: Just install it, choose "stand-alone server", and it should be done. [13:48] how can i run a check for why ubuntu doesnt load if it doesnt load??? [13:48] gravity: what does that do [13:48] sskk: Mail is usually delivered to /var/mail/$USER [13:48] diablo75: Yes, I know. I use dyndns to connect to my server usually. [13:48] Hi, having strange issues in Karmic with network connections, can anyone help? [13:48] snuffy47: What does _what_ do? [13:48] diablo75: My server also has got dynamic ip address. [13:48] diwic: on reboot [13:48] gravity: sudo -s [13:48] grawity: Ok - I'll take your word and dig into it. Thanks [13:49] Diablo75, thanks regardless, have a good day! [13:49] Valentina: I wouldn't filter by IP if I were you then because you intend to be able to have access to your server no matter where you are. [13:49] gravity: I thought that being I could use the sudo command that smiths was the main admin user [13:49] snuffy47: 'sudo' does run the command as root. [13:49] Hello, I have a really old graphics card and it's really slowing down my ubuntu [especially when I surf the web with any browser (firefox, epiphany, opera)], is there a way to tune the graphics down so my ubuntu would be faster? cause right now it's a pain.. [13:50] snuffy47: However, the >>/etc/auto.master part is snipped off by your shell, it is not passed to sudo. [13:50] diablo75: Exactly. I want to log in independent of location.

[13:51] hello, how can I change the group of every single file within a folder without effecting the user? 'chown user.group *' is what I would usually do, but the users are different and I only need to change the group. [13:51] how do i copy my /home/user preserving all the permissions? i've been trying to do it on live karmic but when i see the properties, it always shows live user as the owner! please help! [13:51] diwic: ok I will try [13:51] diablo75: Yes, exept for the ssh keys maybe. But it's not that big problem writing the password, I think. [13:51] gravity: what is nick completion and why are you yelling at me [13:51] snuffy47: See my PM about that one [13:51] asdqwe: try chgrp [13:51] Have to leave, bye. [13:52] How do I force kill something? [13:52] killall name and kill pid aren't working [13:52] grawity: how does one use nick completion on pidgin? [13:52] rashed2020: Add -9 to the kill command... such as killall -9 name or kill -9 pid [13:52] grawity, sorry [13:52] halden: same as 'chgrp group *' ? [13:52] Anorien: Same way as in any other client -- type the first few letters, press Tab. [13:53] asdqwe: yes [13:53] grawity: Nope. [13:53] hey, is there away to get the cp command to create subsequent folders. i.e. cp file /dest/newfolder/file [13:53] gdiz: cp -R [13:53] Which messenger is the best ? Emesene is great due to the webcam thingy but apart from that? [13:53] got it, thanks [13:53] rashed2020: Is the process owned by you? If not, add 'sudo'. [13:53] I did. [13:53] rashed2020:sometimes my firefox closes but it doesnt kill the process, so I end up going into System/Administration then services, locate the one to kill and kill it there [13:53] ah i see, that gray line in the window was confusing me, grawity lol [13:53] thanks for the tip, grawity [13:53] I have an old graphics card and it's slowing down my ubuntu [especially when I surf the web], is there a way to tune the graphics down so my ubuntu would be faster? [13:54] rashed2020: If 'sudo kill -9 pid' does not kill a process, there can be only two explanations: a) the process is a zombie - already dead, the system is just waiting for its parent process to notie. [13:54] Hi, I would be very grateful for some help on network issues in Karmic (due to upgrade)! Everything worked in Jaunty but stopped working in Karmic. Wireless and Wired show they're connected, I can ping google, but cannot access anything else. w3m shows "opening socket..." message before hanging. Any help really appreciated!!! [13:54] rashed2020: b) the process is stuck in "uninterruptible sleep" - usually waiting for a file read/write to finish. [13:54] rashed2020: 'ps u ' should tell -- look for "D" or "Z" in the STAT column. [13:54] grawity: Anything I can do? I don't think it's dead because it's processor usage is fluctuating between 97% and 100%/ [13:54] anyone know why when I quit FireFox it doesnt always kill the process ? I have to manually kill it before I can restart FF [13:54] OpenSourcedNick: i'd be interested in that too, same problem here, old and slow :) [13:54] IM having issues with my mic, ubuntu wont recognize it. Maybe my sound card is lacking a driver? [13:55] rashed2020: ps u , paste the line here. [13:55] i tried copying my /home using cp -arp and rsync but it still doesn't preserve the permissions! i want to change my /home partition for a fresh install! [13:55] Anorien, I'm using gnome so at least I know it's not eating up the RAM like KDE... but when I fire up a browser [any browser], the processor gets to 100% [13:55] grawity, back to sudo -s [13:55] thedancingdeer: rsync --perms [13:55] root 712 95 0.0 0 0 ? R< Nov13 77:23 [iwlagn] [13:55] @ grawity [13:55] I'm pretty sure it's the graphics card.. it's an on-board one and it's pretty stinky [13:56] grawity: Postfix was indeed simple - thank you for the push. [13:56] jugglerbry: try sudo killall firefox [13:56] rashed2020: Processes whose names are in [brackets] are actually kernel threads - you cannot kill them. [13:56] OpenSourcedNick: im on gnome too, but mine aint that bad as yours, i can browse, but just slow :) mine is onboard too, intel integrated [13:56] #kubuntu [13:56] grawity: So I have to reboot? Cuz this is killing my desktop. [13:57] how can i get my sound card's driver? [13:57] rashed2020: I guess so. [13:57] Rashed2020: thanks for that, but it seems to be an intermittent thing. sometime when i close ff all is well, but other times, i have to kill the process before i can restart [13:57] OpenSourcedNick: did you turn off visual effects as someone here said earlier? [13:57] grawity: Alright, thanks. [13:57] Anorien, If I wasn't playing some music and watching some videos every once in a while I would have it completely none-gui... my programming is far mor eimportant that the other uses [13:57] hmm... how do I check for that? though I think It is turned off...?

[13:57] hrm, any recommendations on a really really really fast hardware raid controller (preferably that can take a ton of sata disks, like 15 channels) [13:57] grawity, back to sudo -s what does it actually do [13:57] ok will do thanks. you think it's a 9.10 bug maybe ? [13:58] scsi disks are 2 damn expensive for a download staging server, and I need a LOT of space, but I need it *FAST* [13:58] OpenSourcedNick: system-prefferences-appearance, tab visual effects [13:58] jugglerbry: Nah, I've been doing that since 8.04 [13:58] ah no, the firefox window does close, but the background process doesnt end [13:58] snuffy47: 'sudo -s' runs a copy of your shell, but with root privileges.

I cannot enable desktop effects. you have nvidia 9300M and driver version si 185 === PhantomLink is now known as PL|Snoozing [13:59] I see it changed that. but shouldnt I just chon the file to smiths [13:59] thedancingdeer: In Unix, only "root" can change a file's owner. [13:59] I HAVE [13:59] thedancingdeer: So if you are not root, rsync can preserve most permissions - but not the file owners. [13:59] grawity, I see it changed that. but shouldnt I just chon the file to smiths [13:59] snuffy47: What file is that? [14:00] plustax:have you tried system/administration/hardware drivers to see if there a driver available ? [14:00] grawity, echo "/cifs /etc/auto.cifs --timeout=60" >>/etc/auto.master [14:01] snuffy47: /etc/auto.master? I think you should keep its ownership as it is... it's only a one time change anyway, I guess. [14:01] grawity: so how do i achieve it? i want to format my /home partition cuz the drive has loads of errors and goes fsck everytime it boots! [14:01] grawity, looks like auto.cifs and auto.master [14:01] thedancingdeer: Uh, run rsync as root. [14:01] grawity, okay [14:01] thedancingdeer: Or, I would just archive the entire thing with tar -cvzf [14:02] grawity: 18gb archive? [14:02] hi everyone [14:02] ok all time to go. bye for now [14:02] <_marix> hmm, whenever one wants to remove some packages, the ubuntu-desktop is likely to tag along and wanting to get removed, is it supposed to behave like that? [14:02] grawity: rsync as root doesn't still preserve the owner permissions! [14:03] _marix: it is safe to remove that package. if you like you can reinstall it afterwards [14:03] can anyone help me [14:03] i have IBM T40 [14:03] thedancingdeer: 'man rsync', and add the whole set: -ogpX and so on.

When I add the other one, the first one is gone. What do I need to do? [14:05] Can anyone explain to me what the problem could be if the screen goes black and blinks in big pixel shaped forms. I have to switch to a tty and then back to xorg to get the screen back. And could this be related to the fact that apps like Stellarium have messedup graphics? Im runing ubuntu 9.10 now. didn't have these problems in 8.10 [14:05] knoxville: #freenode might be able to answer that.

[14:38] ace_: did you run "check the cd for defects" before installing? [14:38] n/m fixed it [14:38] Clay1: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Select a theme (Look for Customize). [14:38] jrib, no.. I will do it now [14:38] penguin42 - The thing is that i never saw the cpu level on the task bar graphs to go higher than 25%! [14:38] >:-) [14:38] THanks man, but hey leaf-sheep. WHy don't you help me with a far more troublesome and pressing problem ive been trying to get solved here all day. [14:38] penguin42 - I'm just wondering! [14:38] Anyone know how to get punctuation to work in konversation? I need apostrophes... [14:38] naftilos76: hmm, ok lets try something to make it eat one CPUs worth of CPU - md5sum /dev/zero in a shell somewhere [14:39] pff I can't playback 1080p hd movies in ubuntu, there too slow :( [14:39] Clay1: I don't know your issues. Ask away. [14:39] UM, my microphone isn't being recognized by ubuntu and i have no idea why. Its as if there are no sound setting.. or no driver. [14:39] Doorman352: that's a strange problem [14:39] at least not without using vdpau [14:39] astrojp, its not necessary no...but it does insure that the pacakges may be safe [14:39] I've managed to work around everything thus far. But i can't get my mic to work. [14:39] astrojp: the GPG key is a way of confirming who/where the package is from provided you trust the issuer. [14:40] Daverocks: No apostrohes or quotation marks work [14:40] I've got an Intel 4 Series Graphics Controller, and Ubuntu have not recognized it. Any one can help me? Running glxinfo gives me a segfault, after plenty error messages [14:40] Clay1: I never use a mic so I wouldn't know. Sorry. ;\ [14:40] [ 1001.650099] hda-intel: Too big adjustment 32 [14:40] penguin42 - nope! one cpu goes 100% and the other three are just wandering around 10-20%! [14:41] well, any clue on how i could find and dl/install my sound driver? [14:41] Doorman352: can you type them in the text box and they don't send, or can you not type them at all [14:41] naftilos76: That's OK, it will just use 1 CPUs worth, now start another md5sum /dev/zero in another terminal [14:41] Daverocks: As I type them the either dont appear of the stop the next few characters. [14:42] I cant spell/type today either === geof609 is now known as Geoffke [14:42] Doorman352: heh, can you type apostrophes in other kde applications? [14:43] is it possible on karmic to get slim instead of gdm ? [14:43] Daverocks: Actually running Ubuntu, konverstaion was the easies irc client for me. Tried in text editor and they seem to work. [14:43] Hi all [14:43] Clay1: Run "sudo lshw -c sound" to get some information on sound devices. [14:44] jrib, check finished no errors found [14:44] Daverocks: Thought maybe they were reserved for commands but found nothing about it in help. [14:44] ace_: I don't know what to tell you. Doesn't really make sense. You can try the alternate cd out of desperation if you wish [14:44] Doorman352: what about something like kwrite? your kde keyboard mappings might somehow be different [14:45] Insm0d [14:45] jrib, I may also try a USB keyboard and install updates. I just tried a USB mouse and it worked.. Go figure [14:45] Clay1, I also have soundproblems and when i run the lshw command it says *-multimedia UNCLAIMED [14:45] Anyone having the same problems with Intel Integrated Graphics Controller, 4 Series?

Find out why (what packages failed to install) and install them properly [14:47] Doorman352: i don't know what installing kwrite pulls in on ubuntu but if it doesn't pull in much else then try installing it and typing in that [14:48] hi all [14:48] !hu | death90 [14:48] death90: Magyar nyelvű segítséget az #ubuntu-hu csatornán talál [14:48] yo yo yo [14:48] I ve some problems with Rapache (Apache GUI), can anybody help me?

[14:49] aLvIaN_cUtE [14:49] Daverocks: I typed into text editor and the keys show up, what will kwrite show, so I understand where we are going with this. [14:50] naftilos76: Yeh you've got 4 nice fast processors - most of the time they've got nothing to do :-) [14:50] Doorman352: hopefully you'll be able to type normally in kwrite too [14:50] who can tell me how to install a tarball of theme of login interface?

[14:50] jrib, it says nothing to upgrade [14:50] Doorman352: which, if you could, would suggest that it's a konversation issue rather than a kde keyboard mapping issue [14:50] Daverocks: ok ill be back in a few [14:50] anyone know how to mount a USB drive on ubuntu server?

[15:22] _cb: samba is still the way [15:22] _cb: then you can use CIFS or SSHFS if you wish [15:23] randomusr: yes [15:23] <_cb> :( Ok, was hoping there would be something simple & built in. [15:23] _cb: could still use samba to give access to any future windows clients too [15:23] I've installed a linux-headers-generic 2.6.31-15 but I don't see it in the /boot and also in Grub is not seen!I've made sudo update-grub but is not working!Thanks!

[15:24] randomusr: then? [15:24] lspci enter [15:25] ronald1: then copy the data > open firefox and go to pastebin.org i believe [15:25] BluesKaj: I'm looking at a forum, and I guess the package I need is xserver-xorg-video-intel, but the repositories version is outdated [15:25] ronald1: I meant pastebin.com [15:25] randomusr: ok [15:25] <_Narc_> Anyone still having weird network issues with RTL8111/8168B (r8169 kernel module) on Karmic ? [15:25] Is there a list of places i can buy a ubuntu laptop in the UK? [15:26] vasiauvi: the -headers package is not the actual kernel. That package installs header files in /usr/src/linux/linux-headers [15:26] _Narc_: could use ndisgtk with it withthe windows driver [15:26] how can I connect my phone to pc with bluetooth? [15:26] oCean_: what is the command to install a working 2.6.31.15 kernel? Thanks!

[15:27] hi. in a tutorial i'm advised to add key into apt via "# apt-key add linux-pubkey.gpg.asc" i get "gpg: can't open `linux-pubkey.gpg.asc': No such file or directory" when i enter this line. what's wrong? :) [15:27] I've come across irssi and rtorrent. Anything else? [15:27] randomusr: then after open the URL.what is the next? [15:27] gnome-terminal [15:27] vasiauvi: as soon as it is available in the updates, install it through the update manager. [15:27] cichlasoma: Can you give us a link to that tutorial? [15:27] ronald1: let me look [15:27] cichlasoma: append the command with sudo [15:28] http://www.youmustbejoking.demon.co.uk/progs.lenny.html [15:28] cichlasoma: sudo apt-key add [15:28] i do it as root [15:28] ronald1: paste the data in the text field and click send [15:28] <_Narc_> ActionParsnip: It's not a wireless card, just an integrated Intel. I tried to build the realtek driver but with no success... It disconnects under heavy network load. [15:28] how do I move /var/www/www to /var/www via command line?? [15:28] ronald1: after you hit send, copy the URL and paste it here [15:28] (sorry, didn't mention it) [15:28] _Narc_: its a network device so will work. I suggest you research what NDIS is [15:28] cichlasoma: See that link named "you probably need this key blah blah blah"? It points to the linux-pubkey.gpg.asc file. [15:29] cichlasoma: So, wget http://www.youmustbejoking.demon.co.uk/linux-pubkey.gpg.asc [15:29] _Narc_: what's wrong with current driver? === xbmc is now known as xukun [15:29] randomusr: http://pastebin.com/m4f5f21ca [15:29] How do you get a list of processes running and close one? [15:29] xzaz: ps -ef | less [15:29] oCean_: i've installed also 2.6.31.14 from Synaptic but is not working, I have still 2.6.28. A command to install 2.6.31.14?? [15:30] oCean_: from terminal I mean [15:30] xzaz: you can read the list using cursors, the leftmost value is the PID (program ID) you can then press q to quit from less and run: kill pid_of_process [15:30] I have a server (that I'm not going to serve with after all) that's going to end up being my desktop. sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop ? [15:30] craigbass1976: that will do it [15:30] ActionParsnip tnx :) [15:31] ronald1: from the command line type "man lspci" without the quotes to see how that command works [15:31] craigbass1976: Sure. [15:31] What release? I think you're best advised to stay at kernel version that comes from the repo's. Best suited I guess.. [15:31] vasiauvi: I've found a PPA for 31-16: https://launchpad.net/~stefan-bader-canonical/+archive/karmic/+build/1343026 [15:31] <_Narc_> jongbergs: Oh, well, it's been two different routers now. Under heavy traffic (bittorrent for ex.) the router is not responding anymore, unable to access interface, must turn it on/off and I discovered only today a kernel error in syslog. It's a real hell. It's definitely a Ubuntu issue. [15:31] vasiauvi: ^ [15:31] IdleOne, thanks [15:31] ronald1: what you got was a quick how to on how to use it. it should output some system information [15:31] randomusr: ok [15:32] <_Narc_> ActionParsnip: Ok, I will... Thanks. [15:32] _Narc_: np bro [15:32] ronald1: you may want to do lspci -v [15:32] grawity: thanks!!! wget works. don't you have a hint why the "apt-key add" command didn't work? [15:33] what is the command to increase the volume (or decrease it) ? [15:33] cichlasoma: Because you didn't have that file, but told apt to add it anyway. [15:33] oCean_ ActionParsnip thanks. But I have strange behavior on my laptop, is more complicated and unfortunately I can't explain in few words :( [15:33] randomusr: im done to enter this man lspci. [15:34] ronald1: press "q" to quit [15:34] cichlasoma: Now since you downloaded it with wget, use apt-key again [15:35] any idea ? [15:35] randomusr: ok im done press the q [15:35] grawity: :-) ok. i see, already... thanks for yoor patience... [15:35] <_Narc_> ActionParsnip: So if I get this right, ndisgtk can install the right driver without building the r8168 module, right ? [15:35] is anyone else experiencing mouse lang when system is on some laod [15:35] is anyone else experiencing mouse lang when system is on some laod [15:35] ronald1: lspci - v [15:36] sorry... load [15:36] _Narc_: you'll need to vblacklist the r8168 module if you are using ndisgtk [15:36] ronald1: find the audio device section in that output [15:36] Scotch: there are examples at the bottom of here: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/gutsy/man1/amixer.1.html [15:36] I'm in the middle of installing something with apt-get from terminal. Is there anyway to safely cancel it? [15:37] <_Narc_> ActionParsnip: Ok, I already read about that. I was this close to build the module but the make is unable to found what it needs [15:37] ManUpstairs: let it run: then uninstall it [15:37] _Narc_: the native driver will perform better [15:37] ManUpstairs: If it's just downloading files, simply Ctrl-C it... but if it's already installing, dunno. Ctrl-C should work too. [15:37] It seems like its going to take a couple days to download though. [15:37] Oh ok. thanks! [15:37] ManUpstairs, just let it install then purge it afterwards [15:37] randomusr: what do you men? [15:37] <_Narc_> ActionParsnip: native, you mean Realtek's or the kernel's ? [15:38] How can I disable those annoying status messages like "acovrig has left" in xchat to concentrate only on the conversations? [15:38] Scotch: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=597765 [15:38] _Narc_: the one you were going to compile as it will be a native driver rather than the windows driver [15:38] ronald1: type lspci -v [15:38] ronald1: do that from the command line [15:39] randomusr: yeah im done to enter that [15:39] Hi everyone. If I install a program from tweak, or add/remove, or synaptic pm, will I get the updates like software sources? [15:39] awayand: right click on the channel tab then go to settings [15:39] ManUpstairs, shouldn't interrupt an install, even if you don't want it ..it could break apps that dependon the same libs etc [15:39] <_Narc_> ActionParsnip: But the one I was about to compile was the Linux one, from Realtek's ftp... [15:39] ronald1: did you get the help output or the actual information we're looking for? [15:39] Can I interuppt a download though? It wasn't installing. [15:39] Any idea s to why either Firefox showing youtube film is having sound, when other software like quodlibet is not.. Or if i reverse the startup sequence (start quodlibet first) then vice versa.. How can i get both softwares to have working sound simultaneusly? [15:39] _Narc_: yes, that will be better than the ndistk method [15:39] how can I ignore case in the strings used for grep? [15:40] randomusr: grep -i [15:40] ActionParsnip: thanks [15:40] Is installing with Synaptic faster than apt-get? [15:40] going to try to use the linux-rt kernel... hopefully it'll sort the mouse issue [15:40] ManUpstairs: its the same === mimir|on is now known as mimir|afk === sharperguy2 is now known as sharperguy [15:40] Hello, I have a problem with my terminal, when I write a command that is more than 1 line the letters get mashed together and everything is mixed.. it happens in gnome terminal and xterm aswell, what to do? [15:40] ManUpstairs: They both use 'dpkg' to install packages. [15:41] randomusr: this is what you men?"-mm Produce machine-readable output (single -m for an obsolete format)" [15:41] <_Narc_> ActionParsnip: Oh, ok, I get it, sorry, I'm a bit confused. Any advises to succeed building it ? I think I got the headers but the make still return errors... [15:41] Is downloading faster with Syanptic? It seems that way. [15:41] OpenSourcedNick: Have you changed the terminal's prompt? echo $PS1 [15:41] ManUpstairs: apt-get process is faster as you dont have to load a GUI if you already know the package name, use apt-get and get straight to the install [15:41] ronald1: no, i'm pretty sure I mean lspci -v [15:41] echo $PSI does nothing [15:41] _Narc_: websearch for errors and see what turns up [15:41] blank line.. [15:42] OpenSourcedNick: same here [15:42] <_Narc_> ActionParsnip: I did. I'll do it again. Thanks a lot. [15:42] How do I change the configuration (specifically the sound theme) for the login screen on Karmic? [15:42] oh wait ps1 [15:42] [15:42] stuartpb: system -> admin -> login screen [15:42] OpenSourcedNick: same [15:42] \[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ [15:43] Meh. To those using xchat, do you know how to switch channels with keyboard shortcut? [15:43] siemka [15:43] ronald1: is lspci not working? [15:43] ActionParsnip: that doesn't let me change the sound theme [15:43] wszystkim [15:43] ActionParsnip: it only lets me configure autosignin [15:43] grawity: when i add a key with apt-key add, the file has to be in my home directory? [15:43] leaf-sheep, switch between channels already open? alt+number, open another channel with /join #channel.. [15:43] ronald1: could try "sudo lspci -v" without the quotes.... do that if you remember the password [15:43] kto z Polski [15:43] cichlasoma: The file has to be in the "current directory" - the one you're 'cd'd to. Use 'pwd' to see where you are. [15:44] OpenSourcedNick: Thanks. ALT+NUM is what I was looking for. I thought I had it with ALT+LEFT/RIGHT. :o [15:44] OpenSourcedNick: Hmm, seems the standard one... try setting it to something simpler temporarily -- PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ ' -- and see if the problem still happens. [15:44] has anyone here used the latest Kiba-Dock build?> [15:44] Hi. My cordless Logitech MX Revolution doesn't work at all in Karmic. What gives?

[16:01] ronald1: install alsa-utils if it's not already [16:01] BoredKender: Why? [16:01] Asquiro: strange, can you give the output of: route > ~/route.txt you can copy the file to one of the other systems, then pastebin the file [16:01] holy: Why you want to install netbook remix?

[16:03] ronald1: try pulling up some youtube video or some junk [16:03] holy: Ubuntu Netbook Remix is nothing more than a glorified ubuntu-deskop with few extra packages. You want performances. Go with Gentoo or Arch? Too complicated? Start with minimal and work your way up. :3 [16:03] holy: try it if you have intel gpu i will work fine [16:03] Djarrum: run: gedit ~/.bashrc [16:03] !minimal | holy [16:03] holy: 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).

I am trying to understand why, so i thought i could locate exactly where the libdevil1c2 package comes from in ubuntu and compare its source to the macosx package or contact the ubuntu maintainers and ask if they secretly patched the source [16:05] leaf-sheep: I would try minimal CD, but I need bluez utils and wvdial to use make my mobile phone get connected to the Internet.

[16:10] hi. I just plugged my printer, a Canon IP2200, into my laptop runnin Ubuntu 9.10 64bit and a driver was installed, but I cannot print. The light blinks for a few seconds, a print job appears in the queue, then the print job is "done" and the printer light stops printing, but nothing comes out of the printer, why? [16:11] randomusr: what is the chanel of alsa? [16:11] Djarrum: http://pastie.org/698682 [16:11] Is there a way to set my default status in Empathy to be Hidden? [16:11] okay so I already added cd $HOME and fixed the issue [16:11] action, I fixec my home bash, works fine now, was just worried that I wiped an important file by mistake [16:11] ActionParsnip: a hint from the side line: make him use /home/.. instead of ~ (maybe $HOME in unset...) [16:12] guntbert: good call [16:12] guntbert, nah becasue I was getting around it by just typing CD everytime a terminal opened [16:13] ronald1: no idea [16:13] Djarrum: no, you simply opened a file which doesnt exist so a blank file was made in ram ready to be saved (which would fail). You have nothing to worry about duder [16:13] randomusr: ok. [16:13] Hello, Wondering if I install the b43-fwcutter package to a persistent usb install of ubuntu, if i use my persistent setup to install ubuntu, will the drivers carry across automatically? [16:13] hi [16:14] ActionParsnip, thanks for your help, I was hoping there was something other that cd $HOME that would fix the problem though in case other users have the issue [16:14] randomusr: do you have idea how to configure the alsa driver? [16:14] Djarrum: glad you got the gold [16:14] thunderbird has been randomly failing to start with a segmentation fault lately === hy is now known as silver [16:14] ronald1: not so much [16:14] Whatever I do, I can not use a dark theme. It always looks something like this http://bildr.no/view/525872 [16:14] I've looked around on Google, and it's just too confusing for me. Could someone please run me through how i increase the size of my Ubuntu partition? [16:15] so, nobody knows? [16:15] I know. I'm just a jerk. [16:15] lewis just use a partitioning program [16:15] randomusr: ok thanks. [16:15] Paypal me $2 and i'll tell you. [16:15] dual, sudo apt-get install gnome-color-chooser [16:15] Lewis: installed a program called gparted (sudo apt-get install gparted) [16:15] Lewis: gparted should be able to do that [16:15] Lewis, boot from your Ubuntu Live CD, start Gparted and resize the partition [16:15] Djarrum, ok, let me try [16:15] How do i install java [16:15] :) [16:16] hi all was wondering if some one could help me out with a problem of when i close my laptop lid it wont turn off the screen [16:16] How does everyone feel about Karmic? [16:16] i have gparted but i don't know where to go from there. duchubuntu, i just put the live cd in and then what? [16:16] I like it! [16:16] remyo: still buggy at some points for me [16:16] Karmic is much nippier than the previous. Otherwise, same old problems i always have :p [16:16] karmic is cool but im still running 9.04 still proven stable version [16:16] Lewis: in that app it's pretty easy. Just make sure the partition you want to increase is unmounted (if you want to increase the root or home partition you probably have to do this from a live CD) and that you have free space next to the partition you want to increase the size of. right click on the partition and choose resize/move [16:17] Yeah, I'm still running Jaunty too. Trying to decide if its worth upgrading right now [16:17] dual, it will let you set your panel colors among many other things with a GUI app rather than manually editing your .gtkrc-2.0 file which would take a long time to explain [16:17] joakim, from the sideline, this is usually safer from a live cd [16:17] joakim: thanks very much. i don't know wether i want to increase root or home. what's the difference? is it worth increasing both? [16:17] we've got a server that we're planning upgrading from hardy to karmic though [16:17] What is the sudo apt-get install command to get java [16:17] remyo: I think it stepens the learning curve as things to work as easily. Meaning harder to setup. [16:17] hi. I just plugged my printer, a Canon IP2200, into my laptop running Ubuntu 9.10 64bit and a driver was installed, but I cannot print. The light blinks for a few seconds, a print job appears in the queue, then the print job is "done" and the printer light stops printing, but nothing comes out of the printer, why? [16:17] Djarrum, looks really good. I'll try and see what I get [16:17] Doorman352: How so? [16:17] anyone running jaunty have problems with when closed laptop lid dose not turn off screen [16:17] Yanick_: Invisible papers! [16:18] Lewis, root is where your installed programs will go. home is where your files are. Which filesystem is full? [16:18] Yanick: Add the new printer manually, choosing the specific driver for that printer. Its probably using some poor generic driver instead [16:18] It took effort to get wifi running, and sound working that work imediatelty in 9.04 [16:18] leaf-sheep, that must be it, or perhaps ghost paper, I can't touch it too === jongbergs_ is now known as jongbergs [16:18] Dual let me know if it doesn't moddify the color of the "fast-user-switch-applet" I'll get you the workaround if it doesnt [16:18] remyo: graphics dont use full resolutions as in 9.04, must be tweaked [16:18] Hey guys I just removed two cdroms from my ubuntu machine but they still exist as far as ubuntu is concerned (but not mounted) - how can I remove these? [16:19] Mattz, : how do I do that? [16:19] dutchbuntu: if you have a second hdd which no system files are on, you can just as well do it from your current system [16:19] Anyone know anything about getting a Broadcom wifi adapter to work on a computer that I can't actually get a hard network line to? [16:19] Hajuu, please deliberate on 'still exist' [16:19] Yanick_: Configuring printer is not easy thing to support since everybody have a different printers. For me, I had to use a different driver (and to install an additional package) before I'm able to get mine to work. Ubuntu Forums helps if you look for same printer model as yours. [16:19] Djarrum, I don't use the fast-user-switch-applet, so I don't know [16:19] Mattz, when I plugged the USB cable, it asked me for a a model (driver) to use, and I selected the Canon IP2200.... I don't know what else I could have done [16:19] dutchbuntu: like in the computer explorer for example [16:19] Mattz: do you have the install cd? [16:19] and in the places menu [16:19] Doorman: Aye, well a USB stick [16:20] dutchubuntu, i'm not sure. When i go into "Computer?, i see only one file system, and it only has 500MB available. I didn't plan on keeping Ubuntu; i just wanted to try it out but i really like it. [16:20] yeah theres a way to use the microsoft driver for broadcom thats what i had to do on my HP [16:20] joakim, you are definately right. But Lewis told us that he wants to resize / and /home [16:20] Mattz: This worked for me on my dell: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288865 [16:20] leaf-sheep, everywhere I go, it explains how to install the Canon driver (especially IP2200) for ubuntu 32-bit, but I have 64-bit and it says that it won't work for 64 [16:20] Hajuu: how did you "just remove" them? [16:20] but the driver IS installed! [16:20] it just don't work! [16:21] Yanick_: Link, plz. [16:21] Lewis, paste the output of 'df -H' (without the quotes) [16:21] !CTCP [16:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about CTCP [16:21] where can I find information about IRQ lines/resources from the kernel?

As that seems the most likely explanation [16:21] dutchbuntu: that was stupid [16:21] any one had a problem with lcd [16:21] leaf-sheep: yes, what do u mean by that? [16:21] dutchbuntu: ah i missed that he said that, i only read he wanted to resize *a* partition :) [16:22] dutchbuntu: if you're going to tell people to paste thing, tell them to use a pastebin.

It works in Empathy. Any idea? [16:23] vox, dutchubuntu, sorry about that, forgot about the paste thing. i've bookmarked the pastebin :) [16:23] Hajuu: if you want help you should start answering our questions [16:23] meenu_, #pidgin may be able to help [16:23] leaf-sheep, they are all outdated, and probably for 32-bit systems [16:23] Mattz: Good luck. It worked almost immediately after I did that, but if you are on dell check for wifi light Fn F2 toggles the radio on or off AFTER the driver is installed. [16:23] <_Narc_> Someone can tell me how do I generate a lspci.txt to add to a bug report ? Thanks. [16:24] Yanick_: You can install 32bit apps in 64bit apps. I'm not sure about drivers though. [16:24] Doorman: this is for a PCI wifi card in a desktop but it reports it being a Broadcom chipset etc [16:24] Lewis, seems like you don't have a special partition for /home. Resizing root could be worthwile, depending on what you are going to do in Ubuntu. [16:24] _Narc_: in terminal type: lspci > lspci.txt [16:24] _Narc_: Something like: lspci > lspci.txt [16:24] haha [16:24] Yanick_: Also, I'm lacking a mouse so I can't click links. I realized this just now. Need new batteries. :\ [16:24] beat you!! [16:25] leaf-sheep, yes, but I think I've read that the Canon driver (32-bit), the official one, would not work on 64-bit [16:25] In my case, I see guntbert winning by a second. [16:25] <_Narc_> guntbert, Hajuu : Pretty logical. Thanks :) [16:25] _Narc_: you're welcome :-) [16:25] I tried to plug that printer before, on 9.04, last year, and I ended reading about some efforts to make open source drivers, but I thought 9.10 would fix that, and NOT install the broken driver for 64-bit [16:26] dutchubuntu, i just use it for browsing the web, playing music etc. Nothing that requires a lot of room in the partition, i was just worried about having such a small limit because of updates and things. [16:26] at the moment, I'm using VBox with WinXP to use that hardware, but it's very ugly solution and definitely not good to convince my wife to scrap her bloated XP install and move to Linux ;) [16:27] i just made the best egg sandwich of my life.. i think my mouth is orgasming === Ajraddatz_ is now known as Ajraddatz [16:27] !ot | Jester05 [16:27] Jester05: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

I followed instructions from URL: https://wiki.edubuntu.org/LTSPLocalAppsJaunty , I followed instructions, but didn't know how to do the task "Change your /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf to have your client using the new chroot with localapps". I installed on the thin client Ubuntu 9.10 alternate (with mode "normal") and installed application frozen-bubble (I did [16:47] n't know if you needed to do this - I assume you did).

[16:49] jolaren: Get a machine dedicated for home theater and nothing else. That way, it can be your home server. Where you can torrent it straight to the box. Also, networked printer. XBMC is capable of almost any protocol, including samba. So it can be accessed/or access Windows clients. [16:49] guntbert:ya opened.then [16:49] blen2r: you could write a script that reads the output of uname -r, then launches the right command to change the WM [16:49] jolaren: if you like the docky dock. its becoming a stand alone dock. its going to be removed from gnome-do soon. Theres PPA repos versio of it out that ive been testing. [16:49] leaf-sheep: Might someday [16:49] is there a chan for pulseaudio related issues in Ubuntu 9.10?

[16:54] actionparsnip ... will do [16:54] mahngiel, it's stuck at "getting size" [16:54] donavan_: ubuntu doesnt have flash installed by default [16:54] sabarigr: ok, now close that dialog, you should be asked to "reload" - maybe the error is gone already (I hope) [16:54] mahngiel, is that normal? [16:54] cads, no, I just tried that, at now I have a not bootable system [16:54] Im looking for a cool network bandwith monitor for gnome, any widget like stuff out there?

[17:36] no not theme i want to change the initial login window earlier version in 9.04 the provision was there in system -> preference -> logon window [17:36] Hi... is it possible to restore totem-xine in 9.10? [17:36] someone remind me the code to pull the lspci chipset [17:36] im having difficulty booting the karmic 9.10 64-bit cd, both the livecd and install options give me pages of "stdin: error 0" followed by a BusyBox interactive prompt and "(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" [17:36] actionparsnip died again but got a segmentation fault this time [17:36] arrrghhh: Please can I have the output of lspci? [17:36] preetam: they removed that when they updated gdm, and they haven't created anything to replace it yet [17:36] please any one using here avidemux and karmic can help me fix audio issues [17:36] the system in question is a HP Pavilion DV3500 [17:37] fahadsadah, sure... i just don't know how i'm going to pastebin it. [17:37] preetam: it is still possible to change the wallpaper and the basic theme but it isn't exactly straightforward anymore [17:37] Save it to a file, and transfer that by memory stick [17:37] Arc: Err, you ran md5sum? [17:37] arrrghhh: just the last line under Broadcom [17:37] Or floppy [17:37] How set up static routing ? [17:37] chazco, sudo apt-get remove totem-xine ; sudo apt-get install totem-xine [17:37] fahadsadah, i do have a network controller "Broadcom Corp BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) [17:37] valdu55: Please see http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-add-permanent-static-routes-in-ubuntu.html [17:38] gerrh^^ - Totme-xine isn't in the 9.10 repos anymore [17:38] sunbird calendar vs evolution calendar? [17:38] chazco, i'm on 9.10 and it found it with no problem [17:38] jolaren: You decide! [17:38] chazco, disabled any of the repos in the manager? [17:38] preetam: gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties; will bring up an appearance menu for the gdm user which allows you to change a few things, you need to reboot or restart gdm to see your changes and it will probably add a universal access icon to your system tray that can be disabled in System/Preferences/Keyboard on the accessibility tab [17:38] gerrh^^ - The package exists but it install gstreamer... (check with totem - about) [17:39] arrrghhh: Are you on i386 or amd64? [17:39] chazco, oh. -_ [17:39] -_- [17:39] leaf-sheep: Evolution caleder was ugly as HELL === ryu2 is now known as ryu [17:39] jolaren: I guess you want Sunbird then. ;) [17:39] arrrghhh: (32 or 64 bits?) [17:39] fahadsadah, well i thought i'd go amd64 to use all the RAM... perhaps that was a mistake. [17:39] chazco, Unpacking totem-xine (from .../totem-xine_2.28.1-0ubuntu4_all.deb) ... this be what i got from running the install command [17:39] donavan_: ok then run: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_new; mv ~/.mozilla_old; ~/.mozilla [17:39] Not at all. [17:40] I just needed to know so I know which driver to give you. [17:40] fahadsadah, okie [17:40] em... need help brotha, for wifi card aironet on ibm t40 [17:40] donavan_: i sugget you run: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 [17:40] arrrghhh: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/bcmwl-kernel-source_5.10.91.9+bdcom-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb [17:40] leaf-sheep: dc51c1d7e3e173dcab4e0b9ad2be2bbf ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso [17:40] Transfer that however you like to the Ubuntu laptop, and double-click to install [17:40] !hashes | Arc [17:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about hashes [17:40] actionparsnip yeah i was thinking that might b e the next step [17:40] !hash | Arc [17:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about hash [17:40] !md5 [17:40] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [17:40] donavan_: the first command puts yuor old profile back in (as it isnt the issue) then completely removes firefox then reinstalls it. [17:40] I reinstalled grub to the hardrive /sdb i still get disk not found on boot , what does this mean? [17:41] fahadsadah, ok. but i've never had an issue with wired controllers... i don't have an eth0 when i do an ifconfig! [17:41] Hey, i'd like to downgrade my Java jre to 5 from 6, I can't seem to find sun-java5-jre in synaptic though, is there some repository that it may reside in? [17:41] Arc: See above. See if they match. [17:41] donavan_: if its bad after that then log a bug [17:41] arrrghhh: Maybe that driver is no longer installed by default. [17:41] trism this is to change the appearance of background this is not for the logon window change [17:41] donavan_: i dont use firefox so this is the extent of my knowledge [17:41] It's unlikely, but possible. [17:41] themol: go here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsCisco and see if your card is supported [17:41] My new 9.10 installation (intel graphics) is freezing, requiring reboot, after about 20 minutes, every single time. Only the mouse pointer moves when it freezes, nothing else responds. I've tried installing the latest xorg PPA and driver. I investigated turning on kernel modesetting. I'm about to give up on this, perhaps replacing the intel graphics card with an nvidia card, but I don't know what else to try. [17:41] ActionParsnip: What do you use? [17:41] If it isn't, I'll bring that to the attention of the MOTUs. [17:41] preetam: if you read what I said, it changes the background for the GDM user, which is the login window [17:42] Mutiny: search on packages.ubuntu.com should be in hardy repo [17:42] cool, thanks [17:42] mahngiel : am will try that. [17:42] fahadsadah, hrm. i only see that one network controller. and i thought this wired card was intel... i'd be surprised if that was missed. [17:42] leaf-sheep: yes they match [17:42] leaf-sheep: chromium [17:42] arrrghhh: As would I. [17:42] actionparsnip what do you use instead? [17:42] and when the same system im trying to boot it on burned, it verified the cd burn as well [17:42] preetam: I told you it wasn't straightforward, if it isn't what you want, you'll have to wait until they update gdm and add the login window options back [17:42] mahngiel : how do install for you link [17:43] donavan_: leaf-sheep: doesnt eat ram like a fatty in a pie eating contest [17:43] ActionParsnip, i use that also [17:43] am used : Aironet 350 Series [17:43] actionparsnip will it handle flash ? [17:43] hi [17:44] fahadsadah, ok, so how do i a) figure out what wired controller this thing has and b) the deb you gave me says "error: dependency is not satisfiable: dkms" [17:44] donovan, handling flash can be done by copying the flash plugin *.so file to cghromium plugins directory.... [17:44] donavan_: sure, I think with the package flash it is handled but you may have to symlink the plugin to the chromium plugins folder [17:44] anyone had any luck with suspend on the new core i7 hp pavilion dv7s? I've gone through the debug docs and find nothing useful, don't see any other useful info online. When I open the lid back up, i get a blinking console cursor in top right corner and hat's it [17:44] Arc: It's difficult to troubleshoot because it could mean anything. I had problem --- and used the second DVD reader. It worked fine. [17:44] donavan_, handling flash can be done by copying the flash plugin *.so file to chromium plugins directory.... [17:44] leaf-sheep: well unfortunetly this is a laptop so another reader isnt an option [17:44] I have trust easy scan 19200 with xubuntu 9.04 but when i go to page results that the driver not supported what i make ? :-) [17:45] arrrghhh: I'm pretty sure dkms is default [17:45] donavan_, with chrome, it imports all that from firefox [17:45] is there any web with linux games on it? i mea names of really cool games for linux? [17:45] How did you do this install? [17:45] Arc: You might want to try another way to install. USB for one. [17:45] leaf-sheep: would the alt CD be a good option? [17:45] ermenegildo: if you run: lsusb you will get an 8 character hex ID for the device, websearch that [17:45] thanks again bazhang [17:45] !games | gdmsetup [17:45] gdmsetup: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [17:45] fahadsadah, i grabbed a fresh 9.10 iso, used the usb start disk creator and installed it w/o running it live... dunno if that makes a difference. i didn't think it did. [17:46] It shouldn't have [17:46] Did you remove anything? [17:46] fahadsadah, nope. [17:46] there we go, thanks [17:46] I am having problems with Flash Player. I can't click buttons on Flash Movies and some You Tube Movies I can't control the video control bar. [17:46] mahngiel : how do i install my driver aironet 350 from you link [17:46] okay, I cant get vsftpd to work with karmic... any other suggestions? [17:46] thiebaude: i think there will be a day when we look back at firefox and say "what were we thinking!?" [17:46] Arc: I really can't say. Although I use alt CD instead of liveCD all times. It could be the device itself. Maybe reset the BIO to default and try again. [17:46] para ubuntu en esppañol?

[17:47] please any one using here avidemux and karmic can help me fix audio issues [17:47] I have Ubuntu 8.04 LTS if that helps. [17:47] what is ubiquity ? [17:47] And how make?

[17:47] user1s223_: yes [17:47] user1s223_: It should be at left of the bottom panel. [17:48] user1s223_: it's part of the netbook remix metapackage [17:48] oh, i`m in wrong channel, hehe, i mean in fluxbox, also with ubuntu :)) [17:48] fahadsadah, so what can i do? i guess i should've ran it live to test it out first, but i figured jaunty pretty much worked out of the box, so i don't know why karmic wouldn't work... [17:48] arrrghhh, what Karmic problems are you having? [17:49] user1s223_: You could use shortcut -- CTRL + ALT + D [17:49] llutz? [17:49] user1s223_: right click panel -> add to panel then add the show desktop button [17:49] prappl93, no network controllers at all. i only get a loopback device when i do ifconfig. [17:49] arrrghhh: Sorry, I was AFK [17:49] llutz, it errors out and wont connect.. I fixed one bug and posted, but ther are others [17:49] fahadsadah, no worries. [17:49] My dad needs Ubuntu support too =p [17:49] vsftpd + karmic = buggie [17:49] I'm having wifi issues, when I run dmesg this line seems to be the issue "WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-2.6.31/debian/build/build-generic/compat-wireless-2.6/net/wireless/core.c:614 wdev_cleanup_work+0x9f/0xc0 [cfg80211]()" [17:49] hahaha [17:50] Anyway, if you're having problems, there isn't really any point in moving to Karmic.

Any idea how to do this? Or even just mount it an ISO so its properly recognised as a CDROM [17:50] my luck [17:50] ermenegildo: i dont want the output, you need to read the output, see which line is the device and websearch [17:50] fahadsadah, dude i already wiped it. i wanted grub2, ext4, and the newest firefox... [17:50] Hello are there macbook users inhere? [17:50] arrrghhh, I gave up on Karmic for a while... I was trying to use it but I had to restart after trying to log in to actually log in so I put 8.04 LTS on instead... I think you might want to just ride it out eventually [17:50] i figured it would be better not worse! [17:51] prappl93, really? that's a shame. [17:51] exalt: just ask your question [17:51] actionparsnip where are you gettning chromium from ? [17:51] arrrghhh: It is better for most people. [17:51] my girlfriend's going to be pisses :S [17:51] pissed* [17:51] arrrghhh, yep. I think its the newest GNOME they added to it maybe... cause I've read of people using Kubuntu 9.10 and it working whereas they had problems with Ubuntu.

[17:53] Zedster: ill have a look [17:53] arrrghhh: Maybe something you installed has "dkms" in the conflicts field. [17:54] jolaren: What's the problem? You allow it in Google Calendar setting? Also, use private address. [17:54] Would be a very stupid thing for the packager to do, as I don't see how anything can conceivably conflict with DKMS. [17:54] fahadsadah, but that's the thing i just did the fresh install from a usb key, and rebooted. i haven't done anything else. [17:54] om26er: r u there? [17:54] zedster: it's linux-backports-modules-karmic-generic [17:54] leaf-sheep: When creating a new calendar you can choose "Google Calendar" [17:54] arrrghhh: This really is weird. === Prodego is now known as SQL [17:54] bart_: see above :-) [17:54] You're using a liveCD copied to USB, right?

[18:06] pinoyskull, yes 8400 gs with 512mb video ram [18:06] How do I select the 9.10 kernel at the GRUB screen? [18:06] Tartaros, nopes.. i changed it to main server -- same crappy speed --11kb/s to 7000b/s [18:06] ActionParsnip near the id there is the name of scanner or root hub ? [18:06] pinoyskull: i have to do it that way as my CRT monitor doesnt report refresh rates so I have to populate the file before the driver will load [18:06] thiebaude: can i take a look at your xorg.conf [18:06] I downloaded http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ server install x86 and the dang cd will not boot, i've burned 5 discs now... why isn't this booting.

[18:08] well I don't, and what bug? :) [18:08] n00b_: is it any better if you run it as you user, rather than root (shouldnt make a difference but is worth exploring) [18:08] arrrghhh: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php is the correct driver for your chip [18:08] Turns out it used to be supported, isn't any more.

I investigated turning on kernel modesetting (becaus someone suggested it), but it appears my kernel version has it enabled by default. I'm a [18:22] bout to give up on this, perhaps replacing the intel graphics card with an nvidia card, but I don't know what else to try. [18:22] ActionParsnip: i've downloaded it already.

[19:47] lstarnes, I downloaded 2.3.0 and did a sudo python setup.py install in the unzipped directory. The install appears to have gone fine - I don't know why its not working. [19:47] Thor1: if this returns a non-zero value then you still have a cherrypy package installed: dpkg -l \*cherrypy\*|egrep '^i'|wc -l [19:47] vis, asoundconf list [19:47] vis, to list your audio devices [19:47] vis, e.g. it lists one as "Live" [19:47] Piet, it returned zero. But again I installed it through the command line - I'm not sure if that matters. [19:47] vis, thus, then to set it as the default, you do: asoundconf set-default Live [19:48] thanks =) apparantly I don't have that package though [19:48] vis, sorry its set-default-card not set-default [19:48] Thor1: you can also install packages on the command line interface. but apparently you did it some python specific way, which i don't know, and could not support.

[19:53] mzawieska: download one, OR you could tell it to save to some place OTHER then xorg.conf and then copy the newly made file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf I think that works also [19:53] I am getting a blank screen the problem is the intel graphics chips set and the proposed fix is to "boot with the i915.modeset=0 option" but I don't know how to set that? [19:53] assuming that the other person will use Yahoo IM [19:53] mzawieska: my xorg.conf -> http://pastebin.com/f1e702f59 [19:53] i ran sudo update-grub after modifying /etc/default/grub to have GRUB_TIMEOUT=2, but there is no timeout [19:53] Dr_Willis, can u guide me how to do it I am ubuntu newb [19:53] Every time Ubuntu updates Firefox the entries of the Search Bar (up-right) gets messed up. Does someone knows how to fix it? [19:54] Have the problems with karmic and the msi wind been fixed yet? [19:54] mzawieska: download that file , sudo cp whatever /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:54] i just installed ubuntu 9.10 server on a spare machine and i am following a guide to build a xbmc minimal install and i get the command polkit-auth not found... any ideas [19:54] mzawieska: run the nvidia settings tool gksudo nvidia-settings and do your changes/save [19:54] kostkon: apting now, thanks very much =) [19:55] vis, :) you have removed pulse? [19:55] lol, no, but I'm really tempted to [19:55] Are there any benefits to it? [19:55] vis, eh yeah, some. [19:55] why do you ask? [19:56] is it possible to connect to a wireless network from a terminal? [19:56] vis, because to set a default device you can do it in sound prefs instead of using asoundconf. because [19:56] help [19:56] joschtt: yes it is [19:56] joschtt : yeah [19:56] Dr_Willis: can u tell me how to? [19:56] joschtt: nope. [19:56] joschtt: ifup wlan0 [19:56] yeah, I've been having some issues with the gnome sounds preferences. [19:56] oh... [19:56] joschtt: last i di i followed some guide [19:56] Dr_Willis, I have no idea what yo talking about :< [19:56] from earlier: I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 with fluxbox, with gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-volume-control-applet. I have an external USB sound card. Sometimes there's no sound even though the applet is set to use the USB card over the integrated sound. I have to go into the applet and change "settings for the selected device" to analogue (which gives me half of the stereo sound) and then back to digital (which gives me both). Why [19:56] do I have to keep doing this, and is there a way to stop it happening? [19:57] Hi! have an applet problem. The nm-applet is show wrongly on ubu 9.10 [19:57] vis, asoundconf does not work if you have pulse and your apps send their sound through pulse [19:57] allenbradley: will it just autoconnect to anything in the keyring? [19:57] mzawieska: time to read a few linux basics tutorials/command like tutorials then i guess. [19:57] How do I disable pulse? [19:57] help help [19:57] no... you actually have to specify the ssid [19:57] vis, what problems do you have with pulse? [19:57] from earlier: I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 with fluxbox, with gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-volume-control-applet. I have an external USB sound card. Sometimes there's no sound even though the applet is set to use the USB card over the integrated sound. I have to go into the applet and change "settings for the selected device" to analogue (which gives me half of the stereo sound) and then back to digital (which gives me both). Why [19:57] do I have to keep doing this, and is there a way to stop it happening? [19:57] ifup is only a part of the sequence [19:58] my usb wifi works out of the box with 9.10...w00t and it works fast... [19:58] how do i use clonezilla? [19:58] allenbradley: so it just starts it and how do u login to a network? [19:58] vis, hmm ok [19:58] vis: this worked perfectly for me. http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8284273 [19:58] I just want to be able to specify which sound card to use at startup in my flux startup script. Sometimes I use the usb card, sometimes not, depending on where the laptop is [19:58] 9.10 rawks ma socks [19:58] a real simple help [19:58] Silent_Echo, easy [19:58] joschtt: As a warning, if you do this, nm-applet will stop managing the card [19:59] thanks Gadget3000 [19:59] usser_: mind pm'n me and giving me a walkthrough? [19:59] Silent_Echo, download livecd burn it, boot from it, from there on its pretty much self explanatory [19:59] allenbradley: but will it restart after a new session? [19:59] joschtt: this could be unnecessarily difficult if you like to click and use once in a while [19:59] again, no.. you have to manually bring up the interface and conncet [19:59] what is my nick displayed as? [19:59] joschtt: so, if you are ready for that, sure [19:59] Silent_Echo, i feel rather lazy, ask specific questions about it, and i'll try to answer. rather than walking you through, sorry [19:59] Can anyone help me with this? I've looked everywhere and couldn't find any posts on blogs/forums on something like this: http://superuser.com/questions/70544/ubuntu-9-10-network-connection-issues [20:00] Kostkon: does this way of dealing with the problem seem safe? [20:00] how do i change the mouse cursor on 9.10? [20:00] allenbradley: oh ok so then if say my mom needs to connect to a network at like a cafe u still have to use ifup? cant use the manager? [20:00] after upgrade to 9.10 i am not able to mount a samba share for guests for people without a user/pass account.. does anybody ran into this? [20:00] usser_: kk...mmm dont i need to back it onto something? or is it just like that....self explanitory [20:00] yup [20:00] vis, if you want to remove pulse, yeah it seems to be ok [20:00] m4rk: its under the 'customize' button where you set your theme/appearance settings [20:01] Silent_Echo, clonezilla supports different storage methods, you can save to a samba share, nfs, over ssh, to another local disk [20:01] joschtt: it will proce to be a headache. The nm-applet is quite arbitrary. In 8.04, it would wash itss hands off comletely [20:01] I am talking about guest sharing in nautilus-samba extension... [20:01] So what's better about pulse, other than a better gui config? [20:01] yay it's gone =D [20:01] Silent_Echo, i use a samba share at work, since we have a dedicated storage server [20:01] allenbradley: so if i want to be on the safe side and keep using the manager i just login to my x server and let it connect then proceed to tty1 etc [20:01] joschtt: In 9.10, god knows. but its probably not worth the risk. especially if another person might be using the same computer [20:01] does anyone know how to change your refresh rate? My screen is stuck at 59HZ but goes to 75HZ but my nVidia drivers won't let me adjust the refresh rate. [20:01] vis: you can record/play/ to/from other machines on the network.. individual app volume controll. are 2 features ive used [20:01] my grub2's settings changes will not work [20:01] Dr_Willis, cool, thanks. got it [20:02] i just installed ubuntu 9.10 server on a spare machine and i am following a guide to build a xbmc minimal install and i get the command polkit-auth not found... any ideas [20:02] usser_: mmm but it will give you the options once u boot up from the disk [20:02] joschtt: Again, if you are the sole user [20:02] ? [20:02] allenbradley: thanks for the advice i guess i'll just keep using the applet [20:02] i tried changing the default menu entry to boot into, but it flickers for a split second with the right entry selected, but goes back to the beginning [20:02] !find polkit-auth [20:02] Silent_Echo, yes, it'll ask you what you want to do, backup or restore, backup/restore partitions or entire drive, and where you want to save/load your backup to [20:02] File polkit-auth found in libpolkit-dev, policykit, policykit-1-doc, policykit-doc [20:02] there is also no timeout when i set one [20:02] joschtt: mo problem. i'll update you if nm-applet improves in this regard. [20:02] Guest14748: install those packages the bot mentiuoned. [20:03] usser_: thx....i'll b doing that now...thx and thx again [20:03] how do u convert a grub 1 menu.lst to the new grub 2 menu.lst style? [20:03] back in a couple. [20:03] thanks everyone =) [20:03] joschtt: with lots of work.. from what ive done.. :( [20:03] <_cb> I want to resize my home partition. When I go to partition editor it shows me /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2... how can I tell which one is home? [20:04] joschtt: ive not seen any tools to do it automatically. (not looked recently however) [20:04] _cb: df -h [20:04] Dr_Willis: oh i was hoping the upgrade would be super easy because i already have a sep home partition but i guess not [20:04] how can I fix it? [20:04] joschtt: a Upgrade will NOT upgrade you to grub2. [20:04] !greezmunkey [20:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about greezmunkey [20:04] joschtt: it will stay with grub1 [20:04] _cb: or sudo fdisk -l [20:04] <_cb> thanks allenbradley [20:05] i meant reinstall.. because i already have a sep home partition and my experience 8.10 to 9.04 upgrade was bad [20:05] does my home partition need to be ext4 to get speed benefits? [20:05] joschtt: grub and grub2 are worth reading/learning about. :) ext4 is faster for me.. but if its ext3 now. i wouldent get to worried about it [20:06] joscht, i'd stay with ext3 until the next LTS [20:06] joschtt: ext4 it's faster than ext3, but it's not needed [20:06] my / is already ext4 so wouldnt i already get the speed benefits or dod i need to format my /home partition too? [20:06] <_cb> Ok now I now that /dev/sda10 is /home. How can I label it so if I need to resize it again it will say home on the partition editor label? [20:06] joschtt: only if you read/write to your /home.. :) [20:07] joschtt: /home is in /, so if you have / in ext4, your home is in ext4 too [20:07] new irssi user here, is it possible to ignore (not see) join/leave messages? [20:07] joschtt: would you gain :P but its proberly not worthj worrying about [20:07] no but i have a separate /home partition [20:07] greezmunkey: yes.. in the irssi faq and a factoid here.. but i forget what its called [20:07] Arrrrgh, gnome-panel refuses to start on reboot. [20:07] greezmunkey: try #irssi :) [20:07] !irssi [20:07] Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. See also !screen [20:07] joschtt: oh, then as you want :) [20:07] !ignore [20:07] If you really don't wish to see the messages from a particular person on IRC, you can use /ignore nickname [20:07] but i would get the faster bootup right? because ubuntu boots from / ?? [20:07] !parts [20:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about parts [20:08] joschtt: yes. ext4 will help you boot a little faster [20:08] Dr_Willis: please, try command via PM [20:08] !command [20:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about command [20:08] heh [20:08] ok thanks those are my questions [20:08] BlouBlou, got it :] [20:08] !askthebot | themol [20:08] themol: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots.

Oh, tcpdump won't make your program work, just tell you what is on the "wire" [20:21] it started capturing more packets once i clicked on the player but thats about it i'll do it again and show you [20:21] dylan__, tcpdump will tell you if the issue is with your network, connection, etc. [20:22] dylan__, pastebin [20:23] :D [20:23] em..

Oh, i missed thee ~ [20:40] hello! firefox says "bus error" when i try to start it.. what is this about? [20:40] I'm looking for a way to install that won't require me to reboot and boot from an install CD, really [20:40] Nayballs: you might want to change it from root mode nautilus tought (gksudo nautilus) [20:40] phobiac: Do a standard install but making sure grub gets installed to the external [20:40] <_paco_> thx guntbert [20:40] greezmunkey: k thanks for the help n e way though [20:40] dylan__, good luck with that!

[20:43] Jordan_U: No, I have an internal drive in an external enclosure, that I want to install ubuntu to. BUT it will be intended to be placed internally, it's only in an external enclosure for convience at the moment. [20:44] usser_, okay done it and now what? [20:44] It's going in another machine, and I really don't want to have to shutdown and boot from a liveCD just to install ubuntu onto this drive.

Do you have any idea? [20:46] on my LAN, to emulate being an 'outside/internet' user all i have to do is try to connect to my local computers by my external IP address rather as localhost right? ie can i test if my firewall is allowing remote internet connections from inside my network? [20:47] Jordan_U: thank you for your attempt to help, I'll just put up with not having access to my machine for a half hour while I install this. [20:47] infid, most consumer grade routers dont allow that, ie it simply wont work. [20:47] how to transer file from mu host machine to virtual machine ,i`m using vmware server [20:47] Xacarith: now we are getting somewhere (I hope): pleas type "chmod -v 0644 ~/.dmrc" (again without quotes) [20:47] usser_ really? so the only way to test it is to be on a computer outside the network? [20:47] infid, or ssh somewhere outside, and connect from there [20:48] thanks [20:48] hey,, [20:48] infid: Yes, there are many sites that will do port scans for you, or you can connect via tor or some other proxy [20:48] hi all.. [20:48] phobiac: did you investigate the windows installer (installs to a file in windows I think, but perhaps we could convert it to a partition?)

[20:50] infid, i dont know... laziness. i've had at least couple of different models do that, in particular most verizon routers seem to suffer from that [20:50] craigbass1976: yes [20:50] When I start playing a flash video (on, say, youtube or hulu), the sounds works fine. Shortly after it starts to skip, and then it cuts out entirely. Refreshing the page brings sound back, only to have it cut out again shortly after. [20:50] craigbass1976: but if its dying idk how well it will work [20:50] usser_, verizon routers suffer from what? Are you talking about the westell 6100 perhaps? [20:50] usser_, thank you alot LOL :) [20:50] Xacarith: good, now try to log out and back in [20:51] infid: It's just the way they are implemented, sending a packet pack out the interface it came is not understood ( or maybe is not done to prevent routing loops ) [20:51] hi, how do I make nm-applet not use usb0? [20:51] malsyned: which flashplayer and from where did you install [20:51] i dont think verizon makes routers, they just use like motorolla and stuff [20:51] I've tried modifying /etc/network/interfaces [20:51] cool.. [20:51] it doesn't work [20:52] craigbass1976, maybe, i have a versalink wireless router here. [20:52] I've huge boot->test times on my embedded device because of that [20:52] gnutoo: adding a line for it under interfaces should make nm not use it [20:52] Billiard: checking... [20:52] guntbert Thank you for your help, and hopefully I will get a new hard drive soon before more problems come up. [20:52] Billiard, I can actually boot, but there's an issue (the drive is dying) but it mounts readonly. I tried earlier writing out the dumps to a thumb drive (mounted in /mnt) but that too was read only. Now that I'm at home (no customers busting in) I can probably dork with it enough to get it to write out [20:52] Billiard, ah I've added that: [20:52] gnutoo: pastebin your interfaces file maybe [20:52] Billiard: looks like I've got "adobe-flashplugin" [20:52] that's what I'm doing [20:53] Xacarith: you're welcome :-) (but I don't see what that could have to do with a defective HD) [20:53] usser_, I ask because we have a westell 6100 at work (though we're with Fairpoint now, we just ahve the modem we got from verizon) and our connection is horrid. Haven't decided where the problem is yet... line, modem, snapgear firewall, etc [20:53] http://pastebin.com/m62bae5ea [20:53] malsyned: not really familiar with that package, try flashplayer-nonfree [20:54] guntbert The operating system had errors on it and this problem happened right after having to force a hard drive scan which turned up many problems [20:54] Billiard: do you mean flashplugin-nonfree? [20:54] gnutoo: yea i would think that would make nm ignore it [20:54] malsyned: yes sorry [20:55] craigbass1976, the westell i had from cablevision was fine in that regard dont remember the model though [20:55] Billiard: OK I'll try it. [20:55] Xacarith: I see - Good luck :-) then [20:55] !medibuntu [20:55] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [20:55] guntbert Thanks, take care [20:55] dose anyone have any idea's for how to make the screen turn off on my laptop when i close the lid, its set in power management to do it but dosent work... works in windows fine and works in system start up fine [20:55] running buntu 9.10 [20:56] hello? I have a problem with wine [20:56] Billiard: do you think I'll need flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound? [20:56] I enabled Virtual Desktop and increased the font size so now...I can't make any changes to Wine and It glitches [20:56] malsyned: not sure, ive never needed it [20:57] usser_, I think it's got more to do with Fairpoint declared bankruptcy lately, and trouble in rural Maine is probably the least of their worries... [20:57] maddmike: the light stays on when you close it? [20:57] I have a password that only evolution knows .. I think it's in my gnome keyring .. any idea how I can get it to load onto another machine please ? [20:57] usser_, it does suck though when I'm running a web server on our connection [20:58] basically just to pull it up on screen .. [20:58] yes it dose [20:58] matiu, there must be a text file somewhere... [20:58] maddmike: thats odd [20:58] billard ok to pvt u? [20:58] craigbass1976, yeah, it's encrypted with the gnome keyring password [20:59] Hi all. Does anyone know how to enable the pc speaker, after it's been disabled in karmic? === AndrewGe1 is now known as AndrewGee [20:59] craigbass1976, cant you negotiate some special deal, a business connection. Consumer internet offerings are usually assymetric ie 15mbit down/1mbit up [20:59] craigbass1976, ./gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring [20:59] maddmike: pvt? i dont have any ideas how to fix it, my guess is ubuntu doesnt know how to sense when the screen is shut [20:59] guntbert *sigh* still getting the same message when I log in... [20:59] can somebody please help me... i updated firefox to 3.6, and it doesnt allow flash even though i have all the flash plugins. so i deleted firefox 3.6, and when i tried to install 3.5 it just keeps 3.6. how do i downgrade to 3.5?? [21:00] Hi there, can anyone tell how to configure ubuntu karmik to mount /proc/bus/usbfs with a given GID permission?, I tried with none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1001,devmode=664 0 0, but it always mounts as root now [21:00] by the way, i'm a total newbie, so i would really appreciate some newb friendly help :P [21:00] something has changed in the permission system, it seems? [21:00] Billiard: OK, I removed adobe-flashplugin and installed flashplugin-nonfree, but it's doing the same thing. [21:00] hi guys [21:01] whats up? [21:01] anybody? [21:01] Xacarith: odd - I'll do a little searching [21:01] Stupid SEGVidia [21:01] malsyned: ok, ive got no more ideas sorry [21:01] *segfault* [21:01] tadpole: did u complete uninstalled [21:01] !ask | tadpole [21:01] tadpole: 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. :-) [21:01] Hmm, it's still not letting me extract files off my CD says I do not have permission though I changed it in systems ---> admins --> Users and groups >_< [21:01] malsyned: Billiard: what's the problem? [21:02] Dsgn: Sound skips, then cuts out, in flash movies. [21:02] Hi all [21:02] coi6644: yes, i complete uninstalled with synaptic manager. but when i installed 3.5, it just gave me something called Shiretoko. but when i click shiretoko, it opens up firefox 3.6. i can tell because it has the persona skin [21:02] Hey, whats the command line entry to update ubuntu? [21:03] Hi, how can I autostart bind at system start? [21:03] I have a question, how do I get the development man page? [21:03] I have a question, how do I get the development man pages? [21:03] malsyned: I have a problem with my sound too [21:03] newbie question: nautilus is opening without the left-hand side treeview list. How do i restore it? [21:03] Dsgn: same problem? [21:03] NehMoh: why do you want to change the permissions? [21:04] SJr, what do you wan to develop in ? [21:04] Xacarith: please again type ls -l ~/.dmrc [21:04] C/C++ [21:04] man gcc [21:04] tadpole: man, shiretoko is a kind of "codename" of mozilla firefox [21:04] SJr: sudo apt-get install manpages-dev [21:04] Thanks [21:04] thats just the compiler [21:04] Billiard: how else can you give virtualbox users permissions to use usb devices? [21:04] i have a problem with my synaptic package manager.... i wanted to update flash soo i downloaded the deb from the adobe website now i cant update or even enter synaptic package manager. if someone can help me that be nice :) [21:04] No LjL had what I wanted === max is now known as Guest14380 [21:04] tadpole: when u deinstalled, u tried execute firefox to see if it was really uninstalled? [21:04] guntbert I've found many things in a search, most come down to using four commands with chmod and chown and I've tried them several times [21:05] guntbert -rw-r--r-- 1 kessie kessie 177703 2009-11-13 19:10 /home/kessie/.dmrc [21:05] coi6644: yea, someone told me that. but what i really want is to downgrade to firefox 3.5, like the one that came with my ubuntu 9.10. [21:05] Billiard: it breaks every time I upgrade. I really hate every permission system change [21:05] NehMoh: thats not the proper way, hold on ill find the correct command [21:05] coi6644: im going to try and uninstall again. do you know exactly what files i should uninstall? [21:05] Billiard: thanks [21:05] malsyned: after upgrading to karmic, sometimes an application "mutes" the rest of the other running applications. [21:06] what happens when you do +z ?? does the program continue to run?? [21:06] Dsgn: eek. That's not the same problem as mine though. [21:06] hey guys when I install ubuntu 9.10 on my mac pro it boots to grub but it is at the grub rescue> [21:06] can someone send me broadcom_wireless-4.170.25.12-2xkp.exe for ndiswrapper?..one dl link is broken :-( [21:06] redrebel: no, it stops until you type "fg" [21:06] tadpole: man, maybe ubuntu tries to install the last version. maybe if u try find 3.5 pkt it'll work [21:06] is there a way at this prompt to tell it where the partition is? [21:06] redrebel: or bg [21:07] MrPiracy: I know that one way to do it is to run gconf-editor, browse to apps/nautilus/preferences, and check always_use_browser [21:07] I ask because I tried root (hd1,3) and it just said root unknown command [21:07] NehMoh, so it's not like minimizing a window [21:07] anyone have any ideas? [21:07] redrebel: if you do "ctrl+z", and then "bg", it will be the same [21:08] When I check netstat, I see a lot of STREM entries, what does that usually mean? [21:08] redrebel: but if it outputs anythign you'll still see it, it's not hidden. it just lets you type other new commands while this one runs in background [21:08] where can i find a guide to install my graphic card? [21:08] MrPiracy: to get the tree view for a single folder, right-click it and select "Browse Folder" [21:08] Am I seeing this IRC connection mostly? [21:08] coi6644: here, this should be easier [21:08] could you help me find the 3.5 pkt please? im not even sure what it is or how to use it.. [21:08] NehMoh, thanx [21:08] malsyned: having a look now, thx [21:09] NehMoh: sorry havent messed with vbox in a few ubuntu versions, are you a member of the vboxusers group [21:09] no doubt [21:09] Xacarith: and we are talking about the account kessie ? [21:09] coi6644: sorry? [21:09] Billiard: yes, actually it was working a few days back [21:09] Billiard: I think it's due to some hal upgrade, but so far I couldnt' figure out [21:10] Billiard: the previous mountdevfs scripts are gone too [21:10] somebody has been doing nasty stuff =( [21:10] I seem to have screwed something up when moving to 9.10, the "open with" menu isn't remembering anything I put in, and there isn't the default checkbox. Its also saying file type is unknown (was a png in the screenshot): http://sj.arc-nova.org/b/Screenshot-Choose%20an%20Application.png [21:10] anyone know a solution or am I better off posting on the forums for this? [21:10] NehMoh: you are using the non open source version? [21:10] Hi everyone! [21:10] guntbert that would be the user name, yes [21:10] Billiard: yes, the OSE version doesn't support usb [21:11] NehMoh: yea [21:11] I was wondering how would one go about mapping a keypress to a mouse button. (aka I have a side button on my mouse that I want to map to the alt key) [21:11] I tried creating another user and it worked fine, so I know it has to be something user-specific [21:11] OK, my sound problems are further-reaching. When I try to play something with mpg321, I get "ALSA: underrun, at least 0ms" and it sounds unlistenable - all chop and jitter. [21:11] Billiard: worst is that this is my job work machine, so I really need to figure out asap [21:11] Xacarith: strange, as I see it the settings are correct [21:12] malsyned: yeah, "always use browser" .... that was it ;) [21:12] Has anyone had trouble with 64-bit Firefox crashing in Karmic? This is with or without flash installed. The firefox window will "freeze" (It turns solid gray or transparent, like it's not being redrawn properly). I've tried removing flash, no difference. [21:12] NehMoh: ill google see if i can find anything [21:12] MrPiracy: Good! [21:12] Billiard: I already did. This channel was my last choice ;) what I don't know is why mount does not obbey fstab settings. It did in the past [21:13] !romanian [21:13] Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro [21:13] malsyned: now i am trying to put an icon for nautilus to the dock. added a launcher, but the icon appears and nothing happens when i click on it [21:13] I'm trying to use a sony md300 modem in ubuntu 9.10 but it's recognized only as pendrive. I've tried a couple of things from the internet, but nothing seems to work. Can anybody help me? Thank you. [21:13] Billiard: I think I'll resort to a sudo chmod script, handmade [21:13] or chown [21:13] ventura, unmount the pendrive, it should then detect it as a moded [21:13] NehMoh: alright, a hack but itll prolly work [21:13] *modem [21:13] malsyned: i put "nautilus" in the 3 text boxes when i created the launcher [21:13] Billiard: that's what I love from linux. Do it your way ;) [21:14] MrPiracy: That's weird. Never tried it. Why not go to Places -> Home Folder when you want to launch Nautilus? [21:14] guntbert perhaps I should try a full restart. And if that does not work consider the OS corrupted in some way that is not easily fixed... [21:14] Oh good. Solved all my sound problems by killing pulseaudio. [21:15] malsyned: cos i was thinking of taking the panel out ... leaving just the dock at the bottom [21:15] Whoa, It seems that most eveything running on this box has a tcp port assigned. Does that have something to do with making this box accessible over a network? [21:15] MrPiracy: ah. I've never used the dock. so I'm not the guy to ask. [21:15] Xacarith: no - don't worry, the file is not *very* important anyway - I'd just ignore it [21:15] malsyned: alright, np ;) thx for ur help anyways [21:15] malsyned I actually have done that before, and installing the old EsounD [21:16] malsyned: what sound problems were you having? [21:16] guntbert I read some where that it can be deleted and it will automatically be recreated. [21:16] MrPiracy: mpg321 was unlistenably choppy. Flash player sound cut out a few seconds after starting. [21:17] NehMoh: did you try the VBOX_USB=USBFS VirtualBox [21:17] malsyned: i am having lots of sound problems as well, just didnt get there yet ;) [21:17] Xacarith: seems reasonable - instead of deleting I'd rename it to .dmrc-myoldversion or so... [21:17] MrPiracy: well, I don't know how to fix my problem permanently, but try running "pulseaudio -k" and see if your problems go away. [21:17] NehMoh: or actually you said the permissions werent getting set in the bus/usb that was the prob [21:17] malsyned: as they say, first steps first [21:18] Billiard: I thought that was the issue, but even now that I changed permissions manually, it does not seem to be able to access it. it says there's no usbfs [21:18] guntbert putting old or bck onto it is the typical way of doing it I think [21:18] is here any Ubuntu 9.10 user which got A4Tech mouse? [21:18] please pm me [21:18] Hi! I have a big problem, i cant install mscorefonts from ubuntu-restricted-extras and now every time i try to install something else it also tries to install the fonts, how do I remove this from apt-get ?? [21:18] NehMoh: so do the devices show up for you to choose in the menus? but greyed out [21:18] malsyned: i dont have choppy problems, i just wanted to find a way to play two different lines to the out jacks in the back and in the front [21:18] Xacarith: whatever you like and remember [21:19] malsyned: this same card works fine in windows and used to work in feisty, so i know it's possible [21:19] Billiard: what... what does that envvar do? [21:19] NehMoh: now it works [21:20] ok I am once again attempting an install from the live cd, there is no reason this mac pro should not run Ubuntu it runs perfectly fine under Live CD [21:20] Hi guys, i moved my gnome panel to the right edge of the screen and activated "auto-hide" option, now i can't see it at all!! how can i move it back to it's old place please?

I tried Installing ubuntu-restricted-extras but it couldnt find te mscore fonts, now it tries to download them from sourceforge _every_ time I try to install something thru apt-get.. how do i "clean" apt get and make this go away? I tried apt-get remove ubuntu-restricted-extras but its still doing it! [21:22] Billiard: ouch, it must be stress ;) Yes, after changing permissions it still failed accessing, until I exported VBOX_USB. Sounds like it fails if I don't tell it explicitly to use USBFS? very strange. Anyway, thanks [21:22] MrPiracy, yes it still there, when i show desktop, windows went there [21:23] I had to restart my other server that i was sharing files via samba, now my laptop wont recognize the server b/c the ip address changed. is there anyway to fix this? [21:23] i tried a network install of UE 2.4 but its not in the kernels list [21:23] NehMoh: not really sure but im guessing it uses something other than usbfs without that, so was the fstab usb permissions working afterall [21:23] xiaolindraconis: what is UE? [21:23] torgeir, system>administration>software sources [21:23] ultimate edition for gamers [21:24] its just a 9.04 with extras pre installed [21:24] hello... it appears the last firefox update screwed up my firefox installation...? [21:24] on 9.10 [21:24] Billiard: it has two options. Using Hal DBUS interface or USBFS. And sounds like after finding Hal and failing, it claims both do not exist [21:24] haha, got it finally :P [21:24] I think I should file a bug on it [21:25] thanks MrPiracy :) [21:25] hi [21:25] (for virtualbox) [21:25] torgeir: you there? [21:25] got firefox 3.5 working on ubuntu 9.10? [21:26] i am on youtube with it [21:26] i have 8.10 installed and copied contents of cd and got it to boot and install. but now after reboot the new OS isnt in the kernels list anyone got an idea? [21:26] works great [21:26] Enissay: what was it? [21:27] jelg: you can try removing firefox pkg and re-installing [21:27] xialindraconis: I tried that.. removed every package with firefox in it [21:27] xiaolindraconis, did you edit grub? [21:27] I got a problem with my 2 monitors, i put them next to each other and displaying seperate screens, but now, when i'm trying to move windows from 1 display to the other, i cant, because it stays on the same monitor(with compiz the cube rotates), but i can move the mouse on both monitors. [21:27] only edited grub once [21:27] jelg: try moving your .mozilla folder out of the way to see if that clears things up too. [21:28] when adding "installer" line [21:28] malsyned: thnx will try! [21:28] jelg: and if that doesn't work, try the reinstall again, but do it with --purge so that the files in /etc will also get removed. [21:29] MrPiracy, I have no idea, I'm runing in dual screen, so i just moved my screen to the left so the panel became in the middle, then i disabled the "auto-hide" option [21:29] :/ [21:29] malsyned: the rm -rf .mozilla didn't do the trick.. my firefox opens up extremly small (a few pixels wide).. enlarging it shows just a blank window [21:29] oh ok [21:30] malsyned: will try the --purge as well [21:30] torgeir: sudo apt-get remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer [21:30] after upgrade to 9.10 i am not able to mount a samba share for guests for people without a user/pass account.. does anybody ran into this?

Anyone know why i get no audible sound, despite absolultely no errors, alsa being fine, and alsamixer showing nothing at all is muted? This is a minimal setup with just alsa and no pulseaudio. [21:43] but it does, with the cd at least boot to desktop, when installed to the hd it just doesnt launch gui [21:44] gorlak_: installing the nvidia drivers could help [21:44] i'm having a few issues getting dual boot (win xp + 9.10) working. I did a fresh install of both (xp first on /dev/sdb1, ubuntu second on /dev/sda1). However, grub is failing to pick up the windows install. update-grub and update-grub2 run okay - but also only find the ubuntu install (+ memtest). the windows install mounts okay under linux, and looks to be fine.... [21:45] i've looked in /var/log/installer/syslog, and it also mounted /dev/sdb1 fine, but doesn't say anything about finding a windows install on there [21:45] I need help with a simple script. I made some scpt files to run xwinwrap backgrounds. I have like 10 in one directory and I simply want to run one of those 10 randomly at startup.

[21:52] Dsgn: yeah, i may have to. there must be a way to force grub2 to add it though =/ [21:53] khaliq: theres numerous tools to image a 'partition' or whold drive.

[21:54] hi [21:54] dgs: does 'sudo os-prober' return anything?

[22:19] Jordan_U: nope, its on the drive. hmm [22:19] some services are not converted to upstar4t yet. thats why you have rc#.d stuff [22:19] MenZa, cool deal, I'm looking at them now and see that sda1 and sda2 are for vista, and sda5 is Ubuntu, what is "swap" (sda6) and sda4, which is unlabeled? [22:19] Jordan_U: hm, grub did ask me during the upgrade what drive i wanted to install it to... i didnt select any.. maybe that was my problem? i thought it would default to the drive it was on [22:20] is there any kind of file encryption utility that anyone could recommend [22:20] plytheman: swap is what kicks in when you run out of ram. to boil it down, it's a kind of on-disk RAM. [22:20] foo: it defaulted to hd0 which would be the first hard drive mbr. I belive [22:20] plytheman: as for sda4, no clue [22:20] i clean installed 9.10 but copying over /etc/mail isn't enough to get my mail back up and running. can someone help troubleshoot? [22:20] plytheman, swap is hard drive space linux treats like RAM. How big is sda4? It might be the extended partition [22:20] Dr_Willis: how can i troubleshoot this problem? hmm [22:20] sda4 may be a extended partition holding the sda5 and 6 extended partitions [22:20] foo: Since grub is loading at all it must be installed [22:21] MenZa, alright, I'll not touch swap. [22:21] foo: i dident even see the actual prpoblem - I just aswered how grub2 installs by default :) [22:21] Jordan_U: is it possible it's from 9.04? [22:21] foo: no [22:21] insm0d, the unlabeled one is 29.0 GB [22:21] Dr_Willis: :) /lastlog foo, very recent [22:21] plytheman, go ahead and set up the swap partition as swap.

[22:21] Jordan_U: it says grub 1.96 [22:21] plytheman, how are each partitions? [22:22] foo: Try holding shift at boot so you can see the menu and press 'e' to edit the first entry.

[22:44] eatloaf: copying files from one installation to another is tricky, since the UID info on the first might not be the same on the 2nd install [22:44] jrib: have any idea who should own authinfo.db ? root? [22:45] wth? [22:45] Ah fixed it. Just pressed fn-f7 [22:45] get your permissions & ownership right. Can't you check it with your previous install? The one you copied the files from?

[22:59] is there a way to have empathy compress tabs (like pidgin does) when you have more than a few? [22:59] Yeah I know but it doesn't [22:59] ping [22:59] is it any crash testing process? [22:59] Also I have manually selected to boot from cd and it doesn't [22:59] is there a pulseaudio specific channel? (chatroom, that is) [23:00] xander, I dunno.

[23:01] i cannot install madwifi drivers on my atheros ar9285... it is possible? i have ubuntu 9.10 [23:01] Well the other thing is when I switch out hard drives (how I am on here now), I can boot from cd....

I've got the cd in the cd-drive... [23:04] xander: what I mean is your orignal question was how to get grub to let you boot from cd, both me and craig are wondering why the bioes isn't seeing the bootable cd and trying that before it even gets to the HD [23:04] how can I get rid off pulseaudio? [23:05] Well I can't figure that out either, because it has never been an issue at all, it doesn't make any sense.... it is almost as if grub has modified my bios(???) which doesn't make any sense either.... [23:06] so I was wondering if there was a way to tell grub to boot from the cd [23:06] Ok, looking for anyone in the smartypants category... I can't write to a drive because it's screwy.

[23:10] xander: I agree, it doens't make any sense, I believe there is away to do it, but I don't know what much about grub, should just beable to make the appropriate edits in the grub.cfg file..I think its grub.cfg, might be another file that needs editing [23:10] josephj, menu.lst? [23:10] jrib: And possibly me being silly trying to launch it direclty with lacking environment variables or somesuch. [23:10] craigbass1976: thanks, couldn't remember the file name, haven't messed with grub in a while [23:10] menu.lst is legacy right? [23:10] arcade: appdb would tell you if they were needed [23:11] jrib: And yes, I've looked. [23:11] now it is the .cfg I think [23:11] arcade: so that's probably not the issue [23:11] craigbass1976: i would use aircrack-ng. but i dont know if my chip is compatible with madwifi [23:11] i just installed ubuntu on a PPC but i don't like it so i want to put the mac OS back on. The only problem is though is that the Mac OS installation is not detecting the HD now. I can only assume it's because the HD has been formatted to EXT4 but I don't know how to fix this. can anyone help? [23:11] xander, I think grub.conf is a link to menu.lst. I haven't meesed with it really since I quit windows a few years ago [23:11] jrib: Apparantly not. And strace isn't very helpful with wine, unfortunately. [23:11] ubuntu on a ppc? [23:11] When is UNR going to work? It still freezes the whole netbook each time I shut the lid and have to pull the battery out to start again. [23:11] Galdeano, what's your chip? You did lspci, yes? [23:11] craigbass1976: because i had install it but this dont work [23:11] didnt think ppc was supported anymore? [23:12] I just thought that that changed in grub2, but I don't know too much [23:12] craigbass1976: my chip is atheros ar9285 [23:12] craigbass1976: I'm looking at /boot/grub/grub.cfg this looks more like the file he needs but it's gotten a lot more complex since I've seen it [23:13] josephj, xander I'm on Jaunty, and my config is /boot/grub/menu.lst No idea what's going on in newer ubuntu [23:13] hello [23:13] yeah it changed with fresh installs of karmic [23:13] I think [23:13] Rods_Tiger: fyi, not a solution, but you can probably hold the power button in to shut the computer off rather than removing the battery [23:13] i had yet install madwifi on ar5000 but i would install mad on ar9285 [23:13] josephj, use /boot/grub.d/grub.cfg [23:13] arcade: I'm reading the appdb entry and it says to install the no-dvd patches need to be applied for the latest versions.... [23:14] Thanks for the replies, I have to go, I will try again later [23:14] interesting [23:14] xander: looks like at the bottom of of /boot/grub/grub.cfg it makes a reference to /etc/grub.d/40_custom so I'd say thats a safe bet for starting to add you cdboot options [23:14] jrib: As I already said, it used to work, so I probably did that. [23:14] arcade: it wouldn't be looking for the cd if you did that, no? [23:14] Galdeano, what's your kernel version? [23:15] jrib: No matter, I seem to have resolved it (maybe) [23:15] xand: Yes, if you want to add a menu entry with grub2 you should add it to /etc/grub.d/40_custom [23:15] how I can I fix the ugly font in Firefox? [23:15] how do i add a root password to su, so i can use it? [23:15] jrib: Wrong mountpoint for the cd. [23:15] jrib: :-P [23:15] craigbass1976: kernel is 2.6.31 I heve ubuntu 9.10 [23:15] arcade: heh [23:15] !sudo | ryanCH [23:15] ryanCH: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [23:15] ryanCH, sudo passwd === ryaxnb_ is now known as ryaxnbkarmic [23:15] jrib: I've changed the mount-order, it seems, and a bloody external drive is now where cdrom0 used to point. [23:15] jrib: lemme change that and try again [23:16] ryanCH: sudo passwd is NOT recommended nor supported here. It is also completely unnecessary. Please read ubottu's link about sudo [23:16] ok [23:16] jrib: And it launched :P [23:16] jrib: My fault all along. [23:17] <{PS}Fableflame> Hello all [23:17] jrib: Yeps, launched perfectly well now that I've corrected my mounts. [23:18] arcade: cool [23:18] jrib: i don't see how it should be unnecessary if what he wants to do is adding a password for the root user. [23:18] I have a drive mapped in ubuntu but the os isn't working, is there a way to install it from ubuntu ? [23:18] jrib: indeed. [23:18] is there a way to have empathy compress tabs (like pidgin does) when you have more than a few? [23:18] bassliner: adding a password for the root user is unnecessary... [23:18] jrib: Sometimes the solution is simpler than it .. appears. ;) [23:18] jrib: that's exactly the difference i wanted to point out. [23:18] Galdeano, apt-get install linux-backports-modules-karmic ? [23:18] <{PS}Fableflame> I've been thinking about reinstalling and dual booting Ubuntu with Windows. Someone told me that if I installed Windows that it would overwrite GRUB and I woulnd't be able to boot Ubuntu up again. Is that true? [23:19] jrib: "Have you turned on the power button" etc. [23:19] well I know this may be the very wrong room to ask this in but... I bought a new hard drive the seagate ST9500420ASG, I have a dual boot laptop Ubuntu 9.10 / Windows 7, when I first installed this drive I booted Win7 and the hard drive consistenly clicks and stalls...so I thought it was defective, I returned it, got another and same issue, then out of curiosity I boot into Ubuntu and it works fine...everything I read only suggest it's BIOS or bad hardware [23:19] but it obviously isn't as it works fine in Ubuntu...anyone have any suggestions on what to look for? [23:19] {PS}Fableflame: yes [23:19] {PS}Fableflame, not without some finagling [23:19] {PS}Fableflame: you'll have to fix it after [23:19] jrib: and i think it just depends on the personal taste. yes it's unnecessary to gain UID0, but if he likes to have a root account on his system, why tell him to use sudo... [23:19] bassliner: most people who ask that are simply not aware that sudo exists [23:19] <{PS}Fableflame> How would I reinstall GRUB? Could I do that with the LiveCD? [23:19] {PS}Fableflame: yeah, its quite easy from the liveCd [23:19] !grub | {PS}Fableflame [23:19] {PS}Fableflame: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [23:19] where can I set the language for nautilus? [23:20] {PS}Fableflame: print out the instructions first though, there are good tutorials online [23:20] jrib: i still wouldn't see sudo as a complete alternative to a root account on a system... [23:20] <{PS}Fableflame> ok thanks [23:20] craigbass1976: i must go out. thank you. now i try this bye! [23:20] jrib: it has its advantages for sure, yes. [23:20] {PS}Fableflame, I can't remember. Google for windows hosed grub or something. I don't remember it being very difficult [23:20] Galdeano, good luck [23:20] zamarax, linux and windows access the drive in different ways. could be a few different things [23:20] Ok, looking for anyone in the smartypants category... I can't write to a drive because it's screwy. I've mounted up a thumb drive and try to do a mysqldump dbase > dbase.sql. No love, since this operation requires writing to /tmp. What now? [23:21] <{PS}Fableflame> I have one other question. Awhile back I tried to install windows XP, and when I tried to use it I couldn't get on the internet. Somebody told me that it was because I was missing some drivers? [23:21] my windows drive won't boot, but I have it mapped in linux, can I reinstall the OS from linux ? [23:21] bassliner: it is though. There are pros and cons. But since ubuntu is setup by default with a locked account and an initial user who can sudo, it makes sense to inform new users of the configuration that the developers decided to make default [23:21] anything you suggest looking at? like write combining? or anything else? [23:21] {PS}Fableflame, more than likely, you didn't have NIC drivers [23:21] jrib: but i still think it should remain as a users preference if he likes to have a root account or not. we're not mac users and we don't want to get jailed by a way of having to think someones way without having an alternative. [23:22] jrib: yeah sure. [23:22] jrib, you think ubuntu will ever ship with vim out of the box? [23:22] zamarax, what type of hd is it? 2.5? 3.5? brand? [23:22] I got my wifi usb wireless working under 9.10 but its stop start...sometimes its good and other times it seems to work for a bit then stops....any reason behind this? [23:22] or is that just how wifi is under linux [23:22] 2.5 [23:22] lotec, 2.5 sata [23:22] <{PS}Fableflame> Craigbass1976: Does that happen often? I had torrented the ISO [23:22] how do I completely delete my system beep? [23:22] zamarax, brand? [23:23] bassliner: of course. If he came back after reading ubottu's link and said, yeah I tried sudo, thanks for the info, but I've decided I want a root account anyway, then that's fine. It's his computer and he can do whatever he wants. Personally, I only want people to make an informed decision about it. And I think that sudo works better for new users, but it's up to them in the end of course [23:23] Smwnn-> seems like usb dongle wifi's are not really that good, the drivers seems not as strong as compared to ones in the windows verison [23:23] jrib: just was a bit confused at first since it sounded like there is no alternative to sudo or su would be the "wrong way to do it" or something :-) no offense. :) [23:23] hwilde, yank the speaker cable. :0 [23:23] lotec, seagate momentus g ST9500420ASG [23:23] craigbass1976, funny. [23:23] jrib: hehe, all fine with that. [23:23] {PS}Fableflame, where'd you get the iso? [23:23] craigbass1976: it used to. Now it ships vim-tiny :/ [23:23] hwilde, sorry... couldn't resist [23:23] <{PS}Fableflame> craigbass1976, Demonoid I think [23:24] Well under 9.04 my signal was 19% under 9.10 its like 80% and when it works its fast it just has random pauses [23:24] so I must say 9.10 is a massive improvement [23:24] {PS}Fableflame, if the drivers for your card weren't on the iso, well... [23:24] hwilde: most people just blacklist pcspkr, but 'xset b 0' and something in ~/.inputrc is usually enough too [23:24] Is it possible to modprobe ndiswrapper at startup without having to put a password in every time? [23:24] hi all [23:24] <{PS}Fableflame> If I installed Win7 think I would need to get the drivers? [23:24] zamarax, seams alot of people report clicking from that drive. i would suggest getting a different drive [23:24] Soulwarp: add it to your modules file [23:25] hwilde: 9.10 has pcspkr blacklisted by default [23:25] Soulwarp: it'll boot up every bootup [23:25] what is the general feeling about 9.10? [23:25] {PS}Fableflame, I don't know anything about windows7. Try #windows [23:25] when trying to share a folder in my home dir I get this message: Failed to execute child process "testparm" (No such file or directory) [23:25] Smwnn: I like it, its faster and works better with older computers [23:25] zetheroo, how are you sharing it out? [23:25] anyone here have VMWare server 2.0.1 tar.gz? [23:25] 2.0.2 doesn't seem to work on ubuntu 9.10 [23:26] jrib, Jordan_U i want to get rid of this from dmesg: input: HDA Digital PCBeep as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/input/input3 [23:26] craigbass1976: right click and Sharing Options [23:26] craigbass1976: the same way i have always done it ... and it worked fine like that on my Desktop [23:26] zetheroo, no idea. I've always messed with smb.conf or /etc/exports directly [23:26] lotec, lol....well yeah , I read that in forums, apple released a fix for it because it's used in macbook pro's, I would have never thought a hdd could cause such big head aches OS dependant...well for the bigger OS's anyways. [23:27] craigbass1976: oh ok... [23:27] zamarax, people had the problem on windows also, looks like the same issue though firmware [23:27] agoole, where is the file located? [23:27] <{PS}Fableflame> Ugh. This is too much trouble. I may just start running Windows. === Ph03n is now known as Ph03n|x87 [23:27] anyone know how to get this working? [23:28] i have a thinkpad t61 with intel graphics card, just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and started getting a whitescreen on login. I uninstalled compiz and the whitescreen went away, but now xorg is hogging resources in a big way that it never did previously, has anyone seen this/have a fix? [23:28] Soulwarp: let me look [23:29] agoole, Do I have to compile my kernel? [23:29] what is the terminal command to restart samba? [23:29] Soulwarp: no, [23:29] huhu [23:29] Soulwarp: it just loads up all the modules into ubuntu on bootup [23:29] also, fwiw, I checked the forums and thinkwiki and googled before coming here with it, ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, still no luck [23:29] is there a special german chatroom for ubuntu ? [23:29] How do I start mysql with a temp directory option? [23:29] zetheroo, service samba restart ?? === hy is now known as silver [23:30] Soulwarp: your file is in /etc/modules [23:30] Hi, all. First timer in this channel. Are support questions allowed? [23:30] Soulwarp: you'll need to use sudo nano /etc/modules to modify the file [23:30] zetheroo: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [23:30] epinky: thanks [23:30] datadude, sure [23:30] Soulwarp: add the name of the module in the file, and it'll load at boot time [23:30] datadude: those are the only ones allowed :) [23:31] Hahaha Thanks, guys. I like to check before asking, as I hate being the new guy with no manners. [23:31] some guys here how has experiance in backup scripts ???

[23:32] agoole, Thanks I'll try that [23:32] !anyone | w0ls0n [23:32] w0ls0n: 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? [23:33] I cant install vmware server 2.0.2 on ubuntu 9.10 ... but I can with 2.0.1 [23:33] So, I have an Asus EEE PC with a 4 GB hard drive, and I put EEEbuntu NBR on it. This wound up taking up way too much space, so I DL'd EEEbuntu Base to a thumb drive. I now have the ISO sitting on said thumb drive. My question is how, from inside Linux Mint 7 (Gloria), which is basically Ubuntu, can I make this ISO on the thumb drive bootable? [23:33] I need help fixing xp from ubuntu, anyone give me a hand ? [23:34] Stevenking: I use this same script to backup files on my bachine using rsync/ssh http://goodcleanemail.com/index.php/faq/35-vpopmail/53-how-to-backup-vpopmail-with-rsyncssh [23:34] w0ls0n: errors to troubleshoot ?

If someone can help you, they will try [23:35] http://pastebin.com/m5dce7890 [23:35] I did build the essential modules [23:35] datadude: use unetbootin to write your iso to the thumb drive. [23:36] what do you install to be able to configure the compiz effects? [23:36] I keep getting a conflicting driver error when trying to fix xp, so I was hoping to get it fixed from ubuntu, anyone know a tutorial online ?

If i press enter on try ubuntu without installing, it doesn't do anything, and if i let the 30 timer go to 0, it still doesn't do anything. please advise. [23:36] Stevenking: that script will backup anything via ssh/rsync [23:37] fcuk112: Thanks! I'll try that! [23:37] jerkface: have you tested other bootable discs to make sure it's a problem with the cd and not the hardware? [23:37] jerkface: what kind of keyboard? [23:37] jerkface: try a ps/2 keyboard?

You'll want to make exim trust www-data so it can override sender [23:49] in the exim config: trusted_users = www-data [23:49] hi, I just installed Xnee (gnee) and whenever I try to record something I get an error saying that there is a "Record memory failure", Solution: "Xnee failed due to bad data received from RECORD extension".

[23:51] KDE or ubuntu? [23:51] intel i think [23:52] hello [23:52] what happened to linux-restricted-modules? [23:52] Seveas: its on the sourceforge page under "linux 0.8(...)" [23:52] ah, older version [23:52] i read it's deprecated for DKMS packages [23:52] unapiedra: the question doesnt make sense [23:52] me too, but i'm running Gnome [23:52] fcuk112: I wrote it to the drive and plugged it into the slot on the netbook. When I powered it up, I went to the BIOS and set it to boot only from USB. The error says, "Reboot and select proper Boot Device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key". My guess is that it didn't write properly.

[23:52] duffydack: Really? I have no serious issues with karmic. But I kept gimp and the video driver to the versions from jaunty. [23:52] i need the wl module for my broadcom wireless NIC [23:52] what happened to linux-restricted-modules? [23:52] vls: do you mean neon? === silver is now known as hy [23:53] datadude: maybe there is something wrong with the iso... [23:53] Seveas: which one is the "debian squeeze" package? [23:53] spanish? [23:53] tom__: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/freecad [23:53] !es | sasch [23:53] sasch: 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. [23:54] ActionParsnip: I'm not sure what it's called.. I'm just not overly enamoured with fluxbox's panel, pypanel doesn't seem to want to compile, and I can't find much else that seems to work in a vertical bar, so I thought I'd try the kde panel if it's possible [23:54] fcuk112: I'm disinclined to believe that, actually, for the simple reason that I've *never* been able to make a USB drive bootable in Ubuntu. :P [23:54] vls: the bottom bar that has the k menu on? [23:54] tom__: And since it's in debian squeeze it should be available for the next version of Ubuntu by default [23:54] PLEASE HELP! I have my ubuntu (9.04) machine networked w/ my windows 7 machine. I can access what I need to on the windows 7 machine from the ubuntu machine. But, in ubuntu, even though I have my printer shared, I cannot see it from windows 7. Any ideas? [23:54] yeah [23:55] Seveas: ahh.. that looks very promising :) no libboost 1.37 dependency ^^ ... [23:55] datadude: i've gotten it to work once - maybe you should burn a CD instead or something? does your notebook have a cd drive? [23:55] Jordan_U: ahh.. so this is how i works? [23:55] *it [23:55] SteelDragon: win7 and ubuntu have issues with samba [23:55] fcuk112: Unfortunately, I don't have a drive. [23:55] vls: could try pressing alt+f2 then run 'plasma' which is what the bottom bar is called in kde [23:55] Jordan_U: first you put something into debian... and then it gets recoginzed by the ubuntu people? [23:56] tom__: All of Ubuntu's packages come from debian [23:56] datadude: maybe you can try a vanilla karmic iso on your usb drive, see if that works. [23:56] ActionParsnip: strange, im getting command not found even though I've installed kubuntu [23:56] the kubuntu packages, i mean [23:56] standard ubuntu [23:57] Jordan_U: hmm. whow didnÄt know that.. I though they were made independently [23:57] vls: weird, i'd ask in #kubuntu for verification [23:57] tom__: Each release Ubuntu grabs all of the packages in debian unstable ( or debian testing for LTS releases ) then spends months making sure that they all work well together [23:57] fcuk112: Which one do you recommend? [23:58] For a first time Ubuntu user, would you all recommend getting jaunty instead of karmic? [23:58] Jordan_U: .. ahh ok... i see what about the debian stable version then? isn't it an exact copy of ubuntu then? [23:58] GAH! I have a thumb drive mounted up in /tmp Why can't I make it 777 ? [23:58] -ActionParsnip: it's plasma-desktop, I think, and it takes away fluxbox menu and desktop bars etc [23:58] Laibsch, sound is broken in karmic and I hate its new sound "prefs" its a shadow of jaunty`s mixer.. plus I was told fixing my sound would break 95% of everyone elses.. I can fix it with editing some configs but there are other issues like flash videos and scrolling the page they are on is stuttery as hell.. I`m happy with jaunty it works.. I see no reason to go karmic [23:58] adamot: ...no.... [23:59] not useable =( [23:59] What should I do to fix this? [23:59] this: install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables [23:59] Tom__, okay [23:59] adamot: i'd say karmic [23:59] adamot: its practically the same.. concerning desktop environement etc.. just karmic is better and more stable... [23:59] tom_, I believe you are somewhat correct. Ubuntu is a fork of debian for all intents and purposes. I guess Canonical creates customized packages to release as Ubuntu, but current debian and current ubuntu are so similar the packages are virtually interchangable.
