[00:00] is anyone running glassfish on ubuntu? [00:00] i installed the packages but can't get it to run [00:00] tom__: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/debian [00:00] insm0d: pretty much, deian packages are not to be used in ubuntu to avoid issue [00:00] insm0d: um you mean unstable debian, right? [00:00] Jordan_U: insm0d: now that is something interresting.. i learn something new every day ^^ [00:00] !debian [00:00] Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [00:00] insm0d: we dont necessarily use the same toolchain, so binary debs arent guaranteed to work. if you rebuild a debian source package it has a high probability of working though [00:01] duffydack: Fair enough. If Jaunty works there certainly is no reason one absolutely has to run the latest release. If you want a later version for one or two packages, you can always mix and pin. [00:01] duffydack: or request a backpor of the package you want === {PS}Fableflame is now known as Fableflame [00:02] hmm..

I'm wondering if there's a link for the 9.04 iso on the main website for Ubuntu, I can't find it anywhere, and I've had it with 9.10 [00:08] I'm seriously about to load Mandriva, and I really don't want to do that, because I like ubuntu [00:09] Can anyone tell me which arch i should download to install 9.10 server on an EPIA M processor based system? [00:09] Jordan_U: that would be just awesome... but I do not want to "exploit" you :) [00:09] I'm using gnome-do docky and I'm wondering if its possible to create a program launcher such as the one in the left corner of the screen.. and also take the symbols up in the right corner to the docky aswell [00:10] Hey guys, my system crashed and the mp4 player, the instant messager and the software center arent working === xod is now known as onats [00:10] what to do?

[00:10] UbuntuGrubIssue: if you prefer mandriva, use it [00:10] my top panel has disappeared, running ubuntu 9.04 with gnome. I dunno what happened or how, it's just gone. [00:10] How can I switch off the GDM face browser? [00:11] whats cdimage [00:11] sabat: maybe you have deleted it? [00:11] the help section in gnome isn't too clear [00:11] tom__: where is it stored? a config file somewhere I am guessing... [00:11] paschu: write "dmesg" in terminal [00:11] UbuntuGrubIssue: a small websearch shows this http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ [00:11] JonGP, System > Administration > Login Screen [00:11] I dunno where to begein, and launching apps has gotten pretty tricky now [00:11] UbuntuGrubIssue: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/release/ [00:11] UbuntuGrubIssue: but you knew that [00:11] sabat: yepp that's right.. have you "customized" you desktop a lot? [00:12] no [00:12] Hey guys, my system crashed and the mp4 player, the instant messager and the software center arent working [00:12] JonGP, never mind [00:12] yeah I looked there insm0d already [00:12] pretty basic install really, just have xbmc, x11vnc, and transmisison on it, not much else [00:12] paschu: try removing them and reinstalling them? [00:12] it's more a server, used to play movies on my big-screen, than a desktop [00:12] sabat: because if that's not a big problem I would suggest to you to just delete allt eh gnome-config files and when you logout/ and in again you should have a complete "fresh" gnome desktop again... [00:12] only get's used rarely [00:12] billiard: I cant remove the software center [00:13] anyone know any good channells for xp support? Well, XP recovery support?

[00:13] ActionParsnip: thanks! :D [00:14] I am fully comfortable in console, just don't know the dir for those files, is that just like ~/.gnome? [00:14] sabat: ok just hold on a mom I'll find out for you... [00:14] JonGP: sudo -u gdm gconftool -2 --set --type bool /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true [00:14] Billiard: is there an alternative way to recover the programs? [00:14] ok, could you privmsg me the reply, I gotta go help my roommate move a tv :D [00:14] bit tv [00:14] big* [00:14] duffydack: might be worth learning to grab a debian source package, adjust for ubuntu, and upload to your own ppa...for cases where someone else hasnt already done it for you. itd get you off to a good start for if you ever wanna be a developer [00:14] JonGP: without the space i gconftool-2 [00:14] here's a good one. I just installed 9.10 but the graphics aren't working right. It tries to run X, then that dies and it flicks to tty1. Then it immediately tries to run X again. So, I can't get it to remain on any tty in any useable way. 9.10 apparently does not install grub with the option for a boot menu, and it apparently also does not install openssh-server by default either. So how do I access my computer? [00:14] sabat: no [00:15] problem [00:15] :) [00:15] paschu: can you use the package manager? === that_guy_ is now known as gawk [00:15] gnite ubuntu [00:15] Billiard: yea [00:15] Altreus: you need to boot to root recovery desktop [00:15] Altreus, it does too install grub with a boot menu [00:15] when you see "loading grub" press esc [00:15] paschu: then try removing and reinstalling the apps that dont work [00:15] Altreus: you can then run: sudo lshw -C display [00:15] Altreus, reboot and hold down shift. It took me a while to figure that out myself because grub instantly loads a kernel. [00:16] Billiard: but i dont know which programs are still working and which not [00:16] Altreus: you can then websearch for guides [00:16] the whole system could be damaged [00:16] maco, I got it working for me, so if the ubuntu sound guys think my sound config isnt worth bothering with, well, no I dont wanna be a developer thanks. [00:16] paschu: if you dont know which apps dont work, how do you know there is a problem [00:16] idk [00:16] Can anybody tell me which architecture of installer i should download to install 9.10 server on an EPIA M processor system? i.e. can I just download the i386 32bit CD image, or so I need something else? [00:16] just tell me what to do [00:16] s/so/do [00:16] paschu: you said some programs werent working, which? [00:17] Altreus: in the mean time, you can use boot options to get a desktop [00:17] !bootoptions | Altreus [00:17] Altreus: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [00:17] duffydack: um "guy"...singular [00:17] the programs that were running when my system crashed (the video player and empathy) [00:17] duffydack: and what is it about sound? [00:17] duffydack: can we chat in PM? [00:17] I`m happy in jaunty and any packages I `need` new versions for I`ll use a ppa, I see no need for karmic, I`ll wait for lucid and go from there. [00:17] paschu: and they dont work anymore? [00:17] thanks trism [00:18] billiard: the video player is starting but it crashes before i can see the windows [00:18] *windos [00:18] *window [00:18] DAMN [00:18] paschu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:18] :P [00:18] maco, I dont have time I`ve been thru this a thousand times already.. thanks anyway tho... [00:18] and empathy wont even start [00:18] Wallace, what processor is it? I googled "epia m" and it's telling me it's just a complete system and no specs [00:18] i will stick with my ubuntu 9.04 for now [00:18] duffydack: did you file a bug for karmic? [00:19] duffydack: if not, please do [00:19] paschu: try running them from the command line see what error you get [00:19] how? [00:19] is there a way to check which application is listening to a certain port? port 80 is busy but i cant figure out which app this could be [00:19] paschu: open a terminal, type empathy [00:19] can someone please help me. Either it's to do with the kernel or with Xorg but anyway I can't use Xorg because it uses all the cpu. could someone walk me through here? [00:19] duffydack: i mean, that wont change the fact that theres only one person who really digs into sound, but he cant fix it if you dont file a bug report [00:19] the processor is EPIA M - system is http://www.itx-warehouse.co.uk/Product.aspx?ProductID=368 [00:19] varius: try netstat -lp [00:20] unapiedra: install video drivers [00:20] maco, I can fix sounds myself, its the other stuff thats based on firefox and flash vids, that isnt a problem in jaunty [00:20] ActionParsnip: I do not have a live desktop CD because I do not think this computer could cope with it [00:20] varius: port scan [00:20] Wallace thats a VIA cpu no? [00:20] duffydack: ok.... [00:20] ActionParsnip: which video drivers, and how did they brake all of a sudden? [00:20] great.. thanks.. lol it says its apache but that somehow cant be true [00:20] insm0d: and I already have fedora running on it, but I'd like to update ubuntu...yes, it's a VIA [00:20] I`m guessing its a radeon driver problem.. since i`m relegated to using the oss driver [00:21] I have tried entering a console from the alternate install CD, but the console does not seem to want to mount my hard disk anywhere. It just says it's an invalid argument. [00:21] which is quite fine thank you very much in jaunty. [00:21] billiard: it says something like: error at reading the registry (translated from german into english) [00:21] . o ( Probably should have installed server version ) [00:21] you need x86 image then wallace [00:21] I'm getting a C7-M and a C3-M. Hold on and I'll find the arch for both. but I think at this moment in time it's i386 [00:21] compiz smooth as silk and videos too.. [00:21] via cpu should be x86 compatible [00:21] paschu: you mind clearing all your empathy settings? [00:21] jeff - i386 32 bit yes ? [00:21] Hi there [00:21] yes wallace [00:22] billiard: how to? [00:22] Jordan_U: i found a nice installscript for karmic 9.10... I'll try this out... http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=CompileOnUnix#Ubuntu_9.10_-_Karmic_Koala [00:22] paschu: hold on ill see where they are located [00:22] jeff/insm0d: thanks :) .... insm0d: i'll wait if you're still looking [00:22] maco, all I have to do is set the right output and set `ignore` in the outputs.conf to stop it adjusting 3 channels at once when adjusting main volume [00:22] I need to repair my boot loader (grub2 on karmic), because I've changed the boot order in the BIOS and now it cannot start [00:22] How can I do [00:22] ? [00:23] duffydack: outputs.conf? [00:23] jeff: I thought that was the case, but I'll be damned if I can find out what arch the fedora installation is using, and I don't want to do a partial re-install, only to find out I've messed up the box [00:23] Wallace, yes they are just an x86 arch, so i386 will work. === MasterofPuppets is now known as MoPaway [00:23] paschu: rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/empathy should delete all your empathy settings [00:23] DannyButterman, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/318962/ [00:23] yeah ive used some via cpu's [00:24] good if you dont like fans :) [00:24] cool, thanks guys :) [00:24] Would anyone know how I could go about modifying how the X server starts to where I don't need to use gdm, but instead just start one program? [00:24] porter1: gdm is one program... do you want no gdm, just "startx"? [00:24] billiard: should i write that in the terminal? [00:24] jeff: yep - I leave that box up 24/7 mainly as a router/firewall - nice and quiet :) [00:24] paschu: yea [00:25] ..... [00:25] how to make this wave thing? [00:25] =D [00:25] porter1: with it just starting to a text-based login? [00:25] Billiard: better to rename, gives you a rollback method [00:25] is it possible to sign in as root? [00:25] maco, yeah, I'm thinking of ripping gdm out and replacing it with my own program. Maybe I need to write my own daemon to handle that? [00:25] billiard: how to make this wave thing? [00:25] ...it's not powerful, and it only has half a gig of ram, but it does what I need...quitely, and without using too much power either. [00:25] porter1: oh...you want to write your own display manager? [00:25] ActionParsnip: : he said he didnt mind deleting them, its not like empathy is hard to setup again [00:26] maco, well technically, it doesn't need to manage windows, just run one program. [00:26] i am writing on an howto for updating ubuntu 6.10 to 9.10... can u tell me how u find it ? (its in german!!) [00:26] Jordan_U: my connection somehoe got essed up i hope you got this message: Jordan_U: i found a nice installscript for karmic 9.10... I'll try this out... http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=CompileOnUnix#Ubuntu_9.10_-_Karmic_Koala [00:26] paschu: its by the escape key [00:26] Billiard: fair point [00:26] Zykotick9 : I've try this already, but it doesn't work either : the main disk is a scsi one and is reported as sdc1 when starting from a rescue cd [00:26] http://wiki.exchange-server24.de/howto/ubuntu/upgrade_edgy_610_zu_karmic_910 [00:26] porter1: i didnt say window manager ;) [00:26] have Changed the device.map to map the scsi disk but still it won't start [00:27] porter1: but i dont think i understand what you want. do you not want a gnome session at all? [00:27] Stephenking: I upgraded 7.x to 9.04 recently...I found that the easiest way was to simply re-install [00:27] DannyButterman, if grub2 can't automatically find you kernel -- I have NO idea, hopefully someone else does! [00:27] maco, whoops. My contacts aren't in, thus I cannot see very well [00:27] Billiard: no its not [00:27] anybody else like encryption? [00:27] wallace: i habe a problem i habe onkly 6.10 and no empty cd for a iso [00:27] Shwack: i see it as pointless [00:27] paschu: well on a normal keyboard its shift + the key under the escape key [00:27] Zykotick9 : Thank you anyway for trying to help ;) [00:27] maco, yeah, just a separate (I guess display manager) to start immediately after boot. [00:27] paschu: just copy paste [00:27] DannyButterman, is grub2 currently coming up at all right now? [00:28] Billiard: copy and paste dont work [00:28] Shwack: only with hdd data [00:28] paschu: why not? [00:28] Grub is starting but fails soon after [00:28] Billiard: I DONT KNOW! [00:28] i hate my german... sorry i hope u can understand me [00:28] ActionParsnip- I've been wondering what the correct method of encrypting my entire drive would be [00:28] Maco, I didn't know if there might be articles that would apply to ubuntu to go about doing this with X. [00:28] paschu: what happens when you try to copy paste, it works fine, select text ctrl+c right click in terminal paste [00:28] porter1: are you trying to make a kiosk? [00:28] DannyButterman, any you haven't tried installing grub or anything? you sure it's grub2? [00:28] actually it goes to grub old version after that and then fails again [00:29] Billiard: ok, seems that it worked [00:29] porter1: like a very minimal X session with only one app? [00:29] but empathy isnt still working [00:29] Shwack: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [00:29] paschu: same error when run from terminal? [00:29] maco, exactly. It's for a embedded device I'm working on. [00:29] Shwack: NOT SOMETHING IVE EVER USED [00:29] The fact is karmic is installed over a 8.04, and grub 1 was there [00:29] billiard: yes [00:29] ActionParsnip - Aside from that - I just finished version 2 of my javascript text encryption program and it now handles huge walls of text by encrypting in chunks and was looking for somebody enthusiastic about it to test for bugs with me :) [00:29] Stevenking: how about using an usb-stick? [00:29] sorry for cops [00:29] stephenking: unless you really need to preserve your file system, I think you are making it difficult for yourself. by "empty cd" I assume you mean blank cd....in which case, just go out and get one in the morning [00:30] wallace: at the moment i am upgrading to hardy ... [00:30] porter1: and you dont want it to display the login screen at all, right? [00:30] Billiard: and what about my video player? ;_; [00:30] DannyButterman, good luck man - way beyond me. [00:30] tom____: if he's running 6.x, his hardware may not be new enough to boot of a stick [00:30] lol no worries thats cool anyway [00:30] wallace: because its to easy [00:30] maco, basically. I might work out login later once I've got something [00:30] paschu: yea try this sudo apt-get remove empathy --purge && sudo apt-get autoremove [00:30] Shwack: i think its really excesive and can cause isues when the system boot fails [00:30] stephenking: lol well good luck with that :) [00:31] porter1: ok so it should be possible for you to still use gdm but 1) set it to auto-login and 2) define a new session instead of a full gnome-session [00:31] ActionParsnip - ya - now that i think about it I'd rather jsut keep the sensitive docs encrypted and the disk how it is [00:31] porter1: gdm just makes a call to whatever kind of session is selected in the option menu when you login [00:31] wallace: till know i dont have any problems... only one error with the hal damon.. [00:32] Billiard: AND NOW there is an error message [00:32] paschu: which says? [00:32] no such file or directory [00:32] ActionParsnip: Where do I get the video drivers you mentioned? (keep in mind I don't have a sensible browser and no Xorg) [00:32] paschu: what did you try, paste it here [00:32] im talking about the shortcut [00:32] maco, yeah I was thinking of just specifying my own session in gdm. I'm guessing xdm is lighter than gdm? [00:32] Uhmm people In in middle of something. I just did an upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 and it got stuck "installing upgrades" Openoffice.org-emailmerge. [00:33] i just copied and pasted what you have posted [00:33] unapiedra: lspci | grep -i vga wil tell you the video device, you can then websearch for guides [00:33] paschu: paste it here, i suspect something got pasted wrong [00:33] quickone: does anyone know how to display all fb vidmodes available in grub? it seems when i do vga=scan, the mode i am looking for scrolls off screen and i cant find it's ID/hex value [00:33] porter1: yes it is [00:33] Seveas: just in case youÄre interested: there exiss an install script for freecad on karmic http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=CompileOnUnix#Ubuntu_9.10_-_Karmic_Koala [00:33] *exists [00:34] tom_____: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu to backport packages for yourself === dandel_ is now known as dandel [00:34] Billiard: sudo apt-get autoremove & sudo apt-get remove empathy [00:34] maco, coo, I might try it instead. gdm seems heavier on my device, so I'd like to cut out as much fat as I can, for which there is a lot. [00:34] paschu: you didnt copy paste what i said [00:34] paschu: the order and all the characters are important [00:35] !fash64 [00:35] Billiard: oh noes! [00:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about fash64 [00:35] !flash64 [00:35] You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava === kiwifunk_ is now known as kiwifunk [00:35] does sombody know how i can exlude some files finding by command "find" ? [00:35] next question: i'm trying to download an installer iso from www.ubuntu.com, but it is offering me the iso for my desktop's architecture which is not i386. how do I manually select the architecture to download from the site? [00:35] guys I have a problem.. I have some dvd movies I bought that play only on windows.. (they play on normal players as well of course). Is there a way to mount them on ubuntu as well? They don't even get mounted.. I even tried mounting them manually but got nothing.. any ideas? [00:35] I just did an upgrade from 9.04 Xubuntu to 9.10 Xubuntu, via Synaptic and it got stuck "Installing upgrades" when preparing to replace Openoffice.org-emailmerge. It won't go on, what should I do? [00:35] Jordan_U: cool thx... have you seen the cript? if youÄre interestedin freecad yourself :) [00:35] *sciprt [00:35] Stevenking: just files or directories? [00:35] *script [00:35] stevenking: find -name "xxx" -o -type f -print I think [00:35] Billiard: what to do now? [00:36] its a webserver.. so i dont want to backup "cache" files [00:36] Is it possible to add a program launcher ? I mean a copy of the one in the left corner.. as an icon [00:36] Take0n: what mount command are you using? [00:36] ...i.e. -o means "or" and doesn't do the actions that match what is before it....sort of...not a great explanation [00:36] Wallace: you need a path for that find comand [00:36] !dvd | takeon [00:36] takeon: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:36] paschu: if that full command worked, try sudo apt-get install empathy and see if it works [00:36] find /path -name "xxx" -o -type f -print [00:36] so its a whole directory or files with *.cache [00:36] ooboontoo, I tried sudo mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /mnt [00:36] ardchoille: oops yeah find /path -name "exclude-me" -o -type f -print [00:36] Billiard: it works, but empathy isnt working at all [00:36] Does anyone know? [00:36] paschu: same error? [00:37] Stevenking: if you know regexp, you can do find -iname (regex) like find -iname \*cache\* , or you can pipe it to grep also. if you want to skip a directory full of cache files use -path /cachedir -prune, but googleit for exact syntasx [00:37] Billiard: yes [00:37] paschu: gimme the error in german or w/e so i can google [00:37] how can I list all my partitions? I wanna check if I created a swap or not when I instaled this linux some months ago [00:37] tom_____: I'm not interested in freecad, since it's already been properly packaged by debian backporting is probably the "cleanest" way to install freecad [00:37] Billiard: Fehler beim erneuten Einlesen der Registry , child terminated by signal [00:37] realtime: sudo fdisk -l [00:37] Take0n: hmm that should work.. did you recompile the kernelorinstall a newer kernel?

[00:45] Wallace: I have no menu.1st in /boot/grub [00:45] Is it possible to add a program launcher ? I mean a copy of the one in the left corner.. as an icon on the desktop [00:45] puff: have you tried clean out the apt cache? [00:45] b07: LST not 1ST - i.e. the letter 'l' not the digit '1' [00:45] HI i need like imediate help! can someone please help me. I had to delete unbuntu. SO i went back to windows and simply cleared the 2 harddrives it was on. But now when i restart my pc it still thinks ubuntu is somehow on my system so it takes me to a empty dos page that says "cannot find grub" "grub > rescue>" I have no idea what to do. Im currently here using the live cd. [00:46] puff: when they said that they did not mean to leave all your junk behind [00:46] Wallace: no menu.anything [00:46] puff, thats only if you give /home /boot /etc and /var a separate own partition [00:46] eek, that command nearly reinstalled pulse :( [00:46] xtozze: you got your windows disk? [00:46] b07 what do you have in /boot/grub? anything? [00:46] !grub2 [00:46] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

[00:47] ...ahh, i'm not familiar with grub2 [00:47] Yes, I cleaned the cache, that only ever frees up a little bit, 10 or 20 MB.

[00:47] hmm, anyone know how to display all extended/vga/fb modes available to my card. grub vga=scan is scrolling off the screen and i cant see my video mode, though i know its there... trying to avoid having to go to the trouble of setting up serial output on grub to log it, hoping there is a tool like fblistmodes or something :) [00:47] xtozze, that is a windows disk, you will have to use that and fixmbr [00:47] I did remove it c3l [00:47] how can I restart the audio in ubuntu 9.10? [00:47] xtozze, reformat the partition [00:47] I removed all partitions but window's thats what confuses me [00:48] I'm still trying to figure out what I can clean up in to free up space.

[00:48] Its all one windos partition now [00:48] I only have one hd [00:48] !egg [00:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about egg [00:48] vis, only quasi-easter egg i know is "apt-get moo" [00:48] b07: okay, i'm, lost in that case.....my best suggestion is to search the web for grub2 configuration, and see if there is a setting that you have missing somewhere [00:48] ardchoille, im not sure. i have never needed to do that in a case like xtozze's [00:48] Wallace: On 9.10 default install it says that I have GRUB 1.97beta4 [00:48] ah, I've never seen that before. [00:49] Wallace: allright [00:49] c3l: ah, ok, it was just a guess [00:49] what do I do to see every software that changed on my system in the past 48 hours? [00:49] did i incorrectly get rid of it? [00:49] xtozze, thats really wierd [00:49] how can I restart the audio in ubuntu 9.10? [00:49] xtozze: http://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/fix-mbr-xp-vista/ [00:49] hi :) [00:49] xtozze, so you cant acces windows in any way? [00:49] no i cannot [00:50] xtozze, follow that link =) [00:50] best i could do was get on here for help [00:50] Okay i will [00:50] thank you === austin is now known as fallore [00:50] b07: just had a look...it's /boot/grub/grub.cfg you need to look at, but don't make the changes I suggested as it has probably changed [00:50] how can they access windows when menu.lst is in /boot? and they erased the hole disk? [00:50] !vi [00:50] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [00:50] i'm virtualising linux using vbox (host-vista, guest kubuntu) i created shared folder in vbox, so how can i access it in kubuntu? :P [00:50] why there is "Get Free Software" in Ubuntu software center?? [00:50] there's also apparently some stuff in /etc/default/grub [00:51] ok [00:51] what do I do to see every software that changed on my system in the past 48 hours? [00:51] does it imply there will be paid software in later version of ubuntu ? [00:51] xtozze, windows hates to share a harddrive. so always be careful to do everything so that windows wont get hurt (or preferably throw it away ;) [00:51] LOl i noticed that [00:51] Heres a funny story [00:51] O__o: I think that's the plan [00:51] when i was partitioning for unbuntu it was being a pain in the ass and saying things like "are you sure you want to do this" [00:52] ubuntu software center is just like apple app store..... oh no [00:52] ainda não sei usar o programa...!!! [00:52] However when i went to clear unbuntu it made the cleared area a green flashing box with "free space!" [00:52] could anyone help me? [00:52] so ubuntu is going to turn to the dark side :| [00:52] bubafeast: what is wrong? [00:52] 0__o: good reason to go back to debian then... (considering that debian will have catched up with where ubuntu is right now^^) [00:52] O__o: no, no, but there will be some paid apps added later from what I understand [00:53] buba: if you ask a specific question, maybe :) [00:53] ardchoille, WTF? will they ruin ubuntu? all nice going open source and free software projects seems to fail when they get large enough to get influenced by compaiies [00:53] shut up [00:53] paid apps in linux? nice [00:53] 0_o you ever heard of redhat? [00:54] lotec: I have ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop, if I leave for a couple of minutes it goes to sleep... after I wake it up, it wakes up fine but with no sound, unless I restart the PC [00:54] I'd pay for some apps in linux...especially games [00:54] that mean you need to find cracks for ubuntu software later? [00:54] c3l: we already have sources for Caonincal partner in sources.list, it's just that the "partner" repos will start filling up. Ubuntu will always be free [00:54] bubafeast, maybe u shouldnt use linux as a desktop [00:54] hi everyone , i dont know what shit i did make while installig MPD (music player daemon), that whenever i use apt-get install "whatever", i get lines saying that there was an error while setting up mpd!!! What the hell mpd has to do with any other program that i wanna install! I am convinced that somehow, something is on the path of apt-get ....any ideas? [00:55] feyner: what do you mean? [00:55] headcrusher: did you do "sudo apt-get ...." or just "apt-get ...." ? [00:55] ardchoille, yes I see now. I misunderstood it at first. it will be more like offering lets say photoshop for linux, but of course it will cost as normally? [00:55] Err, I thought this gnome bug would be fixed on ubuntu 9.10 but it isn't. Any tips? Here is a screen shot from 2 of my monitors (20" and 22") - http://x03.ath.cx/temp/gnome-bug.png - notice the right screen... it's... well, whack. Any tips/hacks/workarounds? [00:55] bubafeast did you attempt to check dmesg? [00:55] bubafeast, linux wasnt made to be a desktop, i thought it was pretty clear what i meant [00:55] Is it possible to add a program launcher ? I mean a copy of the one in the left corner.. as an icon on the desktop? [00:55] c3l: That's my understanding of it. But our current apps will remain free [00:55] ardchoille, ive heard microsoft will be starting to make programs for more platforms, including unix.. so that is probably a part of it too [00:56] ardchoille: I still think it will kill a lot of momentum in OSS. [00:56] lotec, whats why redhat sucks now [00:56] jolaren: I think the best you can do is symlink /usr/share/applications on the desktop [00:56] ardchoille, well thats positive. yet this might decrease the usage of open source and free programs ;'( [00:56] lotec: there seems to be no error [00:56] wallace: thanks.... sudo apt-get ...doesnt matter which program i install i always get that line.....it seems that apt-get is trying always to do something with mpd [00:56] 0_0 that is why redhat is a 500 company now [00:56] feyner, what do you mean meant??? you mean and operating system has a fate? [00:56] lol [00:56] c3l: I gave /home a separate partition, but not /etc, /boot, /var. [00:56] c3l: Nah, F/OSS isn't going anywhere :) [00:56] speak english [00:56] bubafeast: that is impossible if it is erroring it has to give a reason why [00:56] and = an [00:57] ardchoille: Okay.. I see. Wanted to implent it into gnome-go docky :p seems impossible [00:57] lotec: I'll give it a more extensive look [00:57] U-b-u-n-t-u, give me a reason why linux should be used as a desktop over osx and windows [00:57] headcrusher: ahh sorry, misread your message [00:57] jolaren: I thought docky had a plugin for the menu [00:57] here is my problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/318974/ [00:57] feyner, its free [00:57] hello [00:57] what is the bzr notifier? i've just noticed that commits are not coming up as messages [00:57] bubafeast, have you tried to reload the sound interface? [00:57] feyner: it works [00:58] for example, i was trying to install php5 [00:58] Wallace, obviously not thats why theres thousands of ppl in here [00:58] who knows how to whatch pacquiao vs cotto online? [00:58] U-b-u-n-t-u, so is sex but ppl still pay for it [00:58] ubuntu is more user friendly, thats why feyner [00:58] feyner, also more secure, more stable, all updates are in one place, the mechanism for restricting priviledges acutally works, etc. [00:58] jolaren: I'm pretty sure docky has a plugin for that, check your plugins [00:58] O__o, user friendly? are you kidding me [00:58] feyner, some sex thats free is better than sex that cost [00:58] when a notification comes up, for example a new IM from empathy, is there a faster way of opening it than going to empathy and finding it? a shortcut, perhaps? [00:58] lotec: /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart? doesnt fix it [00:58] i am serious [00:58] ty guys let me go see if it works === elapse is now known as Prodego [00:58] feyner doesn't seem to be work talking or listening to. [00:58] feyner, please.. How many are paying for support for their win installs? [00:59] feyner: computers aren't easy....I need an expert to keep my car running too....I recently set up a new laptup with vista and ubuntu...had much less trouble with ubuntu [00:59] ardchoille, hehe thats great ;) but speaking of paid and closed apps, when it comes to games - does linux have the prerequisites for advanced modern games such as the latest call of duty, or crysis and such? or is further develping needed to the system to allow such heavy games to run smoothly? [00:59] ardchoille: I'm using the stand alone new version of gnome.do docky.. I will try to isolate and swap over the plugins for gnome-do docky to the regular dock [00:59] jolaren: ok [00:59] bubafeast: try running something that requires sound, then check dmesg see what it says [00:59] i am sure the module is getting hung [00:59] feyner, to install program1, sudo apt-get install program1... so easy [00:59] c3l: we may be getting into an OT area, probably best to go to #ubuntu-ot [00:59] Tell me how ubuntu or linux in general is more "user friendly" [00:59] i need a good laugh [00:59] no need to google the hacks and stuffs [00:59] Anybody have success running sdlmame in 9.10? [01:00] !ot | feyner [01:00] feyner: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks!

My girls sleepin and pressin em keys on the keyboard really creates hell around here [01:00] fellas, I am having a problem with video in my ubuntu [01:00] ardchoille: Thanks alot [01:00] feyner, it just depends what youre doing with the os..... for surfing and office ubuntu is just as good as both [01:00] hey, i am usen vmware to install xp to an internal HD, i am running off the usb drive, but when i try to finish the setup of the vmware to install xp it tells me i dont have write permission? how to allow it to write to the internal HD? [01:00] feyner/o__o actually it's true... I was very impressed with how simple to use ubuntu really is....imho, it's on a par with ms and apple [01:00] jolaren: good to know, yw :) [01:00] hi all... I wanna buzz in empathy, any idea?? [01:00] ardchoille, #ubuntu-ot doesnt seem to exist :p [01:00] lotec: found this on dmesg after the wake: pci 0000:00:02.1: PME# disabled [01:01] c3l: Oops, I think it's #ubuntu-offtopic [01:01] the bash in ubuntu is far better the cmd in windows or even their new toy powershell [01:01] Can anyone help with my video problem on ubuntu? :-/ [01:01] lotec: i915 0000:00:02.0: restoring config space at offset 0xf (was 0x100, writing 0x10b) [01:01] hello [01:01] !ask| sammyboy [01:01] sammyboy: 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).

[01:02] feyner: you don't need to use a shell/terminal for ubuntu these days [01:02] feyner, thats why there are GUI [01:02] ardchoille, aah ;) well if you know anything regarding my question. im happy to hear =) [01:02] lotec: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [01:02] ooboontoo: Are you using grub2?

(I can't really use lynx to browse the web and Xorg doesn't work) [01:04] .its the easiest way [01:04] heloooooooo [01:04] one thing I love about ubuntu, is using ubuntu one and a 2gb usb flash drive, I can pop it in anyones computer with internet acces, and boot up their computer as if it were my own home computer. [01:04] maybe its a good time to upgrade then:) [01:04] unapiedra: ok, keep trying now and then to ask you question again [01:05] can i get a no atleasT?

[01:06] feyner: This channel is for Ubuntu support, if you have a support question, please ask it. Take non-support chatter elsewhere, thanks. [01:06] feyner: you the troll? [01:06] when i try to finish the setup of vmware it says insufficeint permision to acess file [01:06] Bo7: Yes, that is by design ( and can be overridden ) [01:06] to install xp to the internal HD [01:06] im runni ubuntu off a usb drive [01:06] Flannel: please can i have some fun with the little troll? ... pleeeease :P [01:06] lotec: the module seems to be loaded "fine" [01:06] and how do you override it? [01:07] zetheroo: stop. [01:07] lotec: but no audio... [01:07] lol [01:07] lotec: and not muted.. [01:07] Bo7: The idea being that if boot fails you probably want to see the other options instead of it just failing in a loo [01:07] when a notification comes up, for example a new IM from empathy, is there a faster way of opening it than going to empathy and finding it? a shortcut, perhaps? [01:07] mneptok: no you stop :) [01:07] zetheroo: would you repeat that please? [01:07] lotec: this shows the audio device fine: aplay --list-devices [01:07] mneptok: uh ... "no you stop :) " [01:08] in before an op kicks someone for doing what he says [01:08] Bo7: Add this to /etc/grub.d/40_custom "timeout=10" [01:08] anyone having issues with Intel Audio devices especially with their mic ...? [01:08] Bo7: Without the quotes and on its own line [01:08] Here's an easter egg: in firefox, try about:Mozilla [01:08] no zeth all mine works fine [01:08] even ventrillo [01:09] FayGo: good stuff .... [01:09] in case anyone does there is a fix out now [01:09] :) [01:09] that's what I was getting at [01:09] bubafeast: alsa force-reload [01:09] nice [01:09] Jordan_U: but it's not the boot that fails, it boots allright, but after a power failure for ex. I want the default os to start again [01:09] o [01:09] that's kinda cool cis [01:09] zeth u know how to allow an internal HD write access via vmware? [01:09] vis* [01:09] what does this message mean "mode (-o mneptok ) by ChanServ" ? [01:09] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Mozilla [01:09] it means OP [01:10] mneptok is an admin [01:10] bubafeast: you here? [01:10] FayGo: what is OP? [01:10] lotec: yes, testing.. [01:10] zetheroo: channel operator - has various additional powers [01:10] a channel operator [01:10] lotec: seems it didn't worked [01:10] ... e.g. can kick people out and ban them [01:10] lotec: but got some warnings [01:10] Bo7: The only reason I can think of that the grub menu would not time out normally is if "recordfail" is in grubenv, if the last boot succedded recordfail should not be there. [01:10] How can I change my window manager ( I want xfce4 instead of gnome ) ? [01:10] u have !halfop !op [01:10] FayGo: good on him ... :) [01:11] FayGo: I use VirtualBox ... sorry ... [01:11] vitrual box wouldnt allow me to select the itnernal hd..so DELTED [01:11] I have mythbuntu 9.04 and it won't upgrade cleanly to 9.10, says I should do a partial upgrade... I can't see any missing updates, is there something I can look for to see why this is happening? [01:11] Jordan_U: ok, well it's a totally default install of 9.10 so I dunno if it's normal this way [01:11] lotec: warnings where, WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/buba/.gvfs [01:11] EasyTUX, xfce or gnome aren't window managers. They are desktop environments; WMs are only a part of them. [01:11] FayGo: you mean you want to mount your internal HDD to the vm? [01:11] lotec: but seems it unloaded and loaded the modules.. [01:12] its already mounted [01:12] hello there, i just managed to enable my webcam in VLC via capture device entering /dev/video0. however how would i get my audio to work? my webcam and microphone are both in built :) please help [01:12] i want to install XP to it [01:12] lotec: still, no sound [01:12] Uuu: So ? [01:12] faygo - you're trying to mount a filesystem in the host os within the guest os? [01:12] still no sound? [01:12] lotec: no sound.. :-/ [01:12] EasyTUX, so, we don't know what you mean. [01:12] FayGo: you want to install XP in a VM? [01:12] Just it. [01:12] yes [01:12] Bo7: Also consider getting a UPS :) [01:12] to the internal HD [01:12] lotec: let me try restarting GDM [01:12] its on a netbook [01:12] im using ubuntu 9.10, Firefox, VlC, and Exaile all wore fine in terms of sound, however I cant use one if either of the other two are open....any suggestions? [01:12] work* [01:12] FayGo: yeah ... well you have to create a volume first [01:12] lotec: since im using pulseaudio... [01:12] so im running ubunutu off the USB and im usen VMware to install XP to the internal HD [01:13] how could i list my audio device in terminal? [01:13] FayGo: ohhhhh [01:13] yeah :) well it can crash also and get stuck there. === david is now known as Guest81097 [01:13] is there a way to auto-mount a drive on login/startup? [01:13] a volume? the HD is mounted and vmware sees it, just when i click finsih on the setup of the VMmachine it says insuffcient permission [01:13] !fstab | Starcraftmazter [01:13] Starcraftmazter: 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 [01:13] GPL question, if i add features to someone elses code, what do i do with the licensing text at the top? [01:13] FayGo: why do you have to use VMware to install XP? .... [01:13] anyone here have problems with a sony blue-ray dvd [01:14] cah help me whit privoxy? [01:14] no cd rom [01:14] starcraft, /etc/fstab [01:14] Uuu: I wanna change my desktop environment (including its wm) aka xfce4-session instead of gnome-session plus the whole things coming with them. How should I do this ? [01:14] FayGo: why not create a bootable XP USB ? [01:14] Starcraftmazter, , /etc/fstab [01:14] Bo7: Either way adding that line should prevent the menu from timing out, if you still see the menu after adding that line and running "sudo update-grub" then it's not because the menu timed out but that the default entry failed ( for instance couldn't find the kernel ) [01:14] tvjudge: the newest mplayer can now play blu-ray disks [01:14] it hangs my system when i try to boot in bios [01:14] cuz thats a pain [01:14] vmware easy [01:15] FayGo: so your booting from USB with Ubuntu and then trying to use VMware to install XP onto your internal hdd? .... is that even possible? [01:15] yes [01:15] bubafeast: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [01:15] sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset [01:15] sudo alsa force-reload [01:15] zethertoo: I was just going to say the same thing [01:15] I mean without removing gnome... [01:15] EasyTUX, OK, then. Install package xfce4 (or similar, I'm not sure) or even xubuntu-desktop if you want almost all things that come with Xubuntu, the Ubuntu with Xfce. [01:15] Jordan_U: allright I'll try that [01:15] vmware will install to w/e HD u want or partition [01:15] FayGo: have you done it before? [01:15] Wallace: ha [01:15] yes on windows... [01:15] Are there any good Linux games? Or is the best bet to game through wine? [01:15] Uuu: Done. I'm fast neh ? eheh [01:15] faygo: but will it be done natively....or will it be virtual? [01:15] ok: all (hypothetically) codecs loaded: movie player plays youtube.. smplayer does not: why? [01:15] FayGo: what do you mean by "on Windows"? [01:16] speculator check out True Combat Elite [01:16] EasyTUX, no, Ubuntu and its apt is fast, hah [01:16] umm wallace err idk [01:16] will do [01:16] EasyTUX, ok, you are too, I can say after rethink :) [01:16] natively i assume [01:16] Hi guys, is there something similar to wireshark but that run on terminal? [01:16] FayGo: its pretty crazy what you are doing, but if there is a reason why its failing, i would say it has to do with the root device being set correctly before bootstrapping, so you could explore those avenues [01:16] Wallace: exactly [01:16] is it possible to install ubuntu through a network?! [01:16] faygo: I suspect that is your problem....you are trying to install on the virtual machine, not natively [01:16] lotec: worked... [01:17] FayGo: nah ... just make a bootable XP USB stick [01:17] those cmds i gave? [01:17] Uuu: Still having whole gnome shit instead of xfce one... [01:17] ...if you install on a virtual machine, then you will only be able to run in [01:17] Does anyone know of a channel about CIDR (supernetting I have a question I'd like to ask) [01:17] bubafeast: those cmds i gave? [01:17] ...in that virtual machine....I think [01:17] lotec: stopped gdm, alsa --force-reload, start gdm [01:17] idk wuh ur talkin bout ooboontoo [01:17] lotec: yes! [01:17] ive missed something: what is it? [01:17] n ye crzy it is [01:17] hello i am new to ubuntu. what security measure do i need to take to protect my ubuntu machine from malware? [01:17] lotec: now I have sound :-D [01:17] bootable xp disk [01:17] EasyTUX, after install, logout and login selecting Xfce session in GDM. (And GNOME's not a s*it! :P) [01:17] nah i spent hours tryin get that to work [01:17] Arix007: Don't install WINE [01:17] lotec: TX!! :-D [01:17] i got vmware set how i need it [01:17] Need some help printing from a fresh install of Karmic, It shows a printer but it is not working, printer lexmark x5340 [01:17] i just need it to allow me to click FINISH [01:17] ok [01:18] FayGo: ok well I got the answer then .... Just install Ubuntu :) [01:18] but without wine i will not be able to use msn etc [01:18] How can I find out what driver I have for my video card? or what ubuntu is using. On ubuntu 9.10 [01:18] Uuu: I don't use gdm, I use xdm... [01:18] Does anyone know of a channel about CIDR (supernetting, I have a question I'd like to ask) [01:18] FayGo: does vmware live on the usb disk? [01:18] .... [01:18] i got ubuntu installed.. [01:18] Arix007: Use pidgin instead, all stuff you use in Windows has linux equiv [01:18] FayGo: on the *ubuntu* usb disk? [01:18] bubafeast: ok so now you need to make a script run that when you come out of sleep suspend mode [01:18] faygo: our advice is: create a bootable usb installer....none of this vmware crap [01:18] yes vmware is running off the usb disk [01:18] EasyTUX, isn't it almost the same thing? [01:18] Ubuntu runs off the usb disk [01:18] Anyone have time to help a noob out with a couple of issues? One is Adobe flash related, the other is some Wine questions. Been on Ubuntu for about a week now. [01:18] where is vmware running off? [01:18] lotec: but... it worked because I reloaded GDM.. [01:19] oh,well: ill figure it out.. thanks anyways. [01:19] the usb drive [01:19] lotec: seems I would need to reload pulseaudio somehow [01:19] brack: that's why were here...ask and you shall....er might receive [01:19] bootable xp usb disk=fail [01:19] FayGo: there is a #vmware channel [01:19] Trizicus: #cisco ? [01:19] my reocrder get muted always [01:19] k [01:19] lotec: at least for my user [01:19] epinky: Thanks lol [01:19] how can i unmute it? [01:19] FayGo: yeah .... your VM will only be usable in a virtual environment ... not as a standalone bootable OS [01:19] Uuu: xdm don't care about choosing a desktop it launches one, though the wrong one for me... [01:19] faygo....er borrow a usb cd drive then? [01:19] FayGo: yes go ask the vmware channel. its not a ubuntu problem [01:19] i not tryin to standalone it [01:19] bubafeast, well we have no idea if reloading that even did anything. try it again and just use the cmds i gave you [01:19] im tryin to use vmware to install XP to the internal HD [01:19] simple.. [01:19] FayGo: yes you are [01:19] what about firewall etc? [01:20] hello, anyone help out with a printing issue? [01:20] i go ask vmware... [01:20] lotec: I did... thats why I reloaded GDM [01:20] bubafeast: if you have to reload the mod you can add that to the script also [01:20] do you mind helping for a second? [01:20] Okay, question one. I have the 64bit version of Ubuntu. Great OS btw. But, the problem is with flash based video sites in both firefox and opera. The videos will play, but all the controls are disabled (volume, fullscreen, pause, etc.) any suggestions? [01:20] Arix007: People will recommend UFW however I recommend you go straight to iptables [01:20] Hi! Is there something in /proc that I can cat in a script to determine if the system is 32 or 64 bit? === kiwifunk is now known as zz_kiwifunk [01:20] FayGo: exactly ... unless your going to load your netbook up every time with the Ubuntu USB stick!?!? [01:20] there's an easter egg in ubuntu - "你他媽的天下所有的人都該死" [01:20] Anyone knows how to change xdm default desktop environment ? [01:20] uumm is there a guide on how to set them up? [01:20] i do that [01:20] faygo: yes, but it won't be seen as a normal internal drive...it will be seen as a virtual drive, so you won't be able to boot it...or it won't work properly if you do....we think......but like they say, you need vmware experts [01:20] lotec: you know how to reload pulseaudio for my user? [01:20] which of the two is most secure/suerfriendly [01:20] my recorder get s muted even if i unmute it [01:20] try: zgrep "The.*Release" /usr/share/doc/dpkg/changelog.Debian.gz [01:20] any ideas? [01:21] my usb drive boots ubuntu natively [01:21] apparently there is some new fancy vmware thing to do that these days - i know nothing about it - but go check with vmware guys [01:21] the itnernal is not seen as a virtual drive [01:21] bubafeast, how did you do? [01:21] ...but you ultimately want to boot xp normally, right? [01:21] its seen as a HD [01:21] EasyTUX, sorry, you're right, my mistake. I know a bit what is it, but I haven't used it. Try 'startxfce4'. [01:21] Brack: Sounds like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/410407 [01:21] yes xp normally [01:21] FayGo: mate, your going to use your USB stick to boot into XP every time? [01:21] lotec: 1 min [01:21] NO zeth [01:21] Reading it now, thanks. [01:21] i use the usb to boot ubuntu [01:22] no takers, bummer [01:22] Any good PPTP GUI clients for 9.10 [01:22] Vpn [01:22] FayGo: yes ... but the Ubuntu session is only temporary .... unless you install it onto your Netbooks interal HDD === jon____ is now known as jon_ [01:22] faygo...then i don't think it will work with vmware, because everything will be virtalised to the installer, and when you try to boot it for real, nothing will be configured for the real hardware === jon_ is now known as majin_jon [01:22] hi [01:22] FayGo: and then you can setup a dual boot solution [01:22] ...but like they all say, were not experts on vmware or virtualisation, so try asking some vmware ppl [01:22] EasyTUX u can change ur display and login manager using update-alternatives [01:23] Wallace: :-D its entertaining what some people get up to sometimes [01:23] ooboontoo: o_O [01:23] vmware just loads the ISO [01:23] then installs the OS to the selected HD...regardless === mre is now known as Guest63137 [01:23] zetheroo... there's method in his madness, but i think it just won't work [01:23] its just telling me i have "insufficent write permission" [01:23] EasyTUX: you must have installed the alternatives though :) [01:23] faygo...vmware does more than just load the iso....it provides an entire vitual machine....I think [01:23] Wallace/zeth: apparently vmware does this standalone thing nowadays [01:24] i forgot what its called [01:24] FayGo: vmware is for Virtual Machines mate .... not for installing operating system to a standalone HDD [01:24] but yes, its crazy and he can go ask the vmware guys about it heh [01:24] i know wut it is... [01:24] anyone? [01:24] FayGo: again ... take it to the VMware channel and ask them [01:24] How can I switch to another video card driver? [01:24] just wondering - does Wine enable some windows viruses to do damage to any wine folders? [01:24] ye im goin...and fyi...i used vmware to install ubuntu to the usb drive im bootin off of now... [01:25] Uuu: ooboontoo: Hummm, thanks. I'm gonna launch gdm then change desktop env then it should be OK... Even from remote X access... [01:25] Quick question, is there a usb-creator program for the mac? (this question pertains to trying to install the NBR version, so is there a netbook ubuntu channel?) [01:25] update-alternatives ? [01:25] Pffiuuu [01:25] Heavy.

[01:32] wow .. for 1500+ people being in here is very quiet :) [01:32] nice [01:32] waa: I second what sebsebseb suggested .... unless your strapped for HDD space of course [01:33] ooboontoo: i just looked at it the first time myself a few weeks ago....in my case it's because i finally have the hardware that it just might be practial to do [01:33] ooboontoo: sometimes I guess, but vm's can be pretty useful, Windows can be a useful tool sometimes in a virtual machine [01:33] #ubuntu-server === Guest63304 is now known as warren1234 [01:33] ooboontoo: yeah - ha :) [01:33] oops [01:33] hmmm how can i check number of users on channel?

[01:36] flootenkerp: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ [01:36] Well, it's an acer 5315, about 4 years old [01:36] francois: I don't know? [01:36] sebsebseb, when you can get freebsd to work, it works beautifuly [01:36] Thanks guys [01:36] hi all... I wanna buzz in empathy, any idea?? [01:36] lotec: found bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/222428 [01:36] lstarnes: Why are you giving me an Ubuntu 9.04 link? [01:36] Humm, didn't work though there's something in /etc/X11/Xsession.d that seems interresting... [01:36] lotec: tx for the help, Ill check the report [01:36] felixsulla: sorry, tab completion failure [01:36] He's not, he's giving it to me :p [01:36] lstarnes: Gotcha. :) [01:36] flootenkerp: ouch ... Celeron cpu ... ? [01:37] it is a shame that 9.10 is filled with such bugs. Does anyone suggest going back to 9.04 or should we stay with 9.10? [01:37] zetheroo: Mandriva was the one that I got issues with, but then 2010 RC worked, that's also out now so got to vm the final. Arch uhmm a guy helped me set up the very basics, but then the kernel or whatever closed the vm when I tried to boot for a first time. [01:37] Does anyone know why there would be multiple Ubuntu's to choose from at the GRUB prompt? [01:37] felixsulla: are they the same version of ubuntu but with different kernel versions? [01:37] felixsulla: different kernel installs [01:37] zetheroo: Mandriva Gnome quite nice really, also we are off topic now [01:37] EasyTUX, if you wanna have a lighter login manager, try Slim. it is more friendly and prettier but still very simple [01:37] felix: older kernel versions, and recover configuration [01:37] sebsebseb: interesting how they all act so differently to the VM task [01:37] sebsebseb: totally :) [01:37] felixsulla, different kernel versions. They'll all probably boot up into the same system, but run different versions of the linux kernel [01:37] zetheroo: the vm task? [01:38] felixsulla, sometimes there's a single-user mode associated with a given ubu kernel [01:38] How did i end up with different kernel installs? [01:38] felixsulla: simple upgrades [01:38] felix: automatic upgrace [01:38] felixsulla: apt keeps old kernels when new ones are installed [01:38] sebsebseb: virtual machine .... the task of working in a vm environment [01:38] I thought 9.04 had a lot of bugs until I found fixes for them. If you don't want to fiddle about with the OS stick with the LTS versions [01:38] felipe_-> did you also try to read what the selections are so you can make sense out of htem? [01:38] How can I force Apt-get to upgrade an upgrade it failed to do? [01:38] felix: it keeps your old one, incase the new one is broken [01:38] Pardon the noob question, but which file do I download to get 9.04? [01:38] felixsulla: the .iso [01:38] floot: what cpu do you have [01:38] lstarnes: Is it good/bad/indefferent to keep them there? Should old versions be removed? [01:38] zetheroo: not sure what you mean still, let's continue in pm :) [01:38] lifestream: why would you want to force it. Figure out why it failed [01:38] felixsulla: if you don't need them, remove them [01:38] IDK, how do I check? [01:39] For the record my first week with 9.10 was MUCH better than eith 9.04 [01:39] jrib, it failed because I unexpectedly crashed Ubuntu :P [01:39] felixsulla, that depends [01:39] flootenkerp: the .torrent one [01:39] floot: what os are you running now? [01:39] ubuntu 9.10 [01:39] felixsulla: you can remove then with autoremove, from apt-get, if you use command line [01:39] felixsulla: they are kept in case a new kernel breaks something [01:39] felixsulla, sometimes a package will work only on a certain kernel [01:39] sunray_major: ok good, well for the record, I find 9.04 better overall than 9.10 [01:39] lstarnes: Oh, that's not bad .. but I probably dont need like 5 of them. [01:39] floot: you have 9.10 and you want 9.04?? [01:39] Yep, 10 is to slow for me [01:39] flootenkerp: for the 32bit use the x86 and 64bit get the amd64 version [01:39] 4 was way faster. [01:39] flootenkerp: do you use 32-bit or 64-biy? [01:39] *-bit [01:40] Anyway of fixing this damn mouse clicks not working in taskbar? [01:40] felixsulla, 5 different kernel versions? that's overboard [01:40] flootenkerp......Download the .iso from the web page or download the torrent [01:40] IDK [01:40] sebsebseb: I was just saying that its interesting how various Linux distros behave differently in the virtual environment ... like some will love it and others will hate it [01:40] flootenkerp: uname -m [01:40] 怎么访问 非文件系统所在的盘？ [01:40] does anyone in here have an hp pavilion dv900 [01:40] floot: k, but i hadn't noticed slowdown myself...then again, i don't really push it [01:40] dv9000* [01:40] flootenkerp, does it say what kind of processor you have anywhere on your computer? [01:40] So I remove the old ones with autoremove? Do I just man autoremove or is it an actual apt-get option? [01:40] jrib, Like, if did a hard-shutdown, it would have just stopped the update, just like that [01:40] I didn't check, what's the command? === ubunewb is now known as fah-install-help [01:40] WHERE IS THE GRAPHIC INTERFACE FOR MANAGING SERVICES [01:41] floot: use uname -a [01:41] kosmic: caps! [01:41] zetheroo: well I guess that's one reason why they have guest editions or whatever it is that can be installed into the vm [01:41] lifestream: dpkg --configure -a [01:41] flootenkerp, is there a sticker somewhere on your computer that says what kind of processor you have? [01:41] sebsebseb: right [01:41] Linux flootenkerp-laptop 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [01:41] flootenkerp, use 386 version [01:41] flootenkerp: PC (intel x86) desktop CD [01:41] floot: ...yeah, what insm0d said [01:41] Could you directly link me to the direct download [01:41] jrib, What was that supposed to do? ^^ Got no response [01:42] hello, am new here. can't install ubuntu :( install animation sequence hangs after loading from the CD [01:42] flootenkerp: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso [01:42] does someone know what the "generic" id refers to in the name of a linux kernel? [01:42] Thanks [01:42] flootenkerp: don't go from there! [01:42] Hai. I updated to Ubuntu Karmic Koala from 9.04, and java isnt working, I tried installing it using the .bin supplied from sun.com, but no luck, not working. WHat can I do? [01:42] skoyles: how long do you wait? [01:42] flootenkerp: let me find a mirror; that's the main site [01:42] So just burn this on a CD to freshly install? [01:42] flootenkerp: yes [01:42] like 30 minutes [01:42] Wallace -- I went to have dinner and came back and it was still going [01:42] skoyles, if you see an option to check the disc integrety, run it. [01:42] oh, okay, so do I download that or wait for the mirror? [01:42] flootenkerp: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors has a list of local mirrors [01:42] Have checked disk integrity, is fine. Have checked memory. is fine === kosmic is now known as su-icide [01:43] flootenkerp: pick the one closest to you [01:43] skoyles... yesh, lilke insm0d says...it's verify disc or something like that...from the boot menu off the cd [01:43] mount -o rw,sync --bind /media/sdb1/films/ /home/mre/Videos/ , This work but it is mounted as root only any ideas on how to get rw? [01:43] k, thanks for your help guys. [01:43] Yup, have verified the disk. It verifies fine. am installing on a p4, 2.something GHz, 1Gb ram, newish machine [01:43] flootenkerp: then navigate to 9.04 and find "PC (Intel x86) Desktop CD) [01:43] cat man: what filesystem is it? === matthew is now known as Guest10572 [01:43] lifestream: that configures unconfigured packages. That's what you do when dpkg gets interrepted like in the scenario you described [01:43] skoyles, how old is your computer? The boot cd took me a good 15 minutes to load and I'm by no means on an aintient computer [01:43] Also, any good disc burners for linux? [01:44] jrib, so maybe the update did go through after all, right?! :D [01:44] how do i install the driver mad wifi in ubuntu is there a .deb file [01:44] Or should I just try running imgburn with wine? [01:44] Wallace, FAT32 [01:44] lifestream: I don't know, you haven't really said what the problem is [01:45] cat man: hmm, should be okay....do you get any messages when you mount it? [01:45] Hey [01:45] I need some help [01:45] could some one help me with installing the mad wifi driver could they just private message me please [01:45] guest "mad" wifi? what's that? [01:45] So, no good disc burners for linux? [01:45] its a driver === That is now known as ThatOneGuy [01:45] jrib, Oh, sorry :P Well, I was just doing a normal update, right?, I did a killall gnome-panel because I didn't want it, and it killed my terminal as well, so that's why I thought the update was interrupted. [01:45] for my wireless card [01:45] in presario cp60 [01:45] Guest10572: did you try google> [01:45] cq [01:45] yah]\ [01:46] flootenkerp, brasero, k3b, nero, etc [01:46] guest: what version of ubuntu do you have? I have a presario, and it worked out of the box [01:46] heres its website /msg NickServ identify . [01:46] -NickServ- You have 30 seconds to identify to your nickname befo [01:46] lifestream: if it was still downloading, then nothing bad could have happened, just rerun your update [01:46] sry [01:46] jrib, I think it was on the 'installing the updates' part ^^ [01:46] My bug fix worked!! Thanks much!! [01:46] when I take off the quiet splash modifier, it goes through a bunch of text, and then just stops [01:46] http://madwifi.org/ [01:47] Wallace, No it mount happily, I can't even chown it as im not allowed [01:47] thats the drivers website [01:47] kostkon is there a terminal command for brasero? [01:47] says end_request IO erorr, def, fd0, sector 0 [01:47] what does this mean? [01:47] how does wine put my pc at risk if im on ubuntu? [01:47] Guest10572: if that is a atheros card, you have support for it out of the box. ath5k is the module you need [01:47] cat man: you are using --bind - what are the mount options of the original mount? [01:47] Arix007: wine can run many windoes applications [01:47] Arix007: including some viruses and trojans [01:47] I've been fighting with something for a while now - it's two separate problems, which I think have the same solution. #1 - terrible h.264 playback. Skippy, artifacty, blech. Problem #2 - Boxee crashes on start. I'm *hoping* that the non-free drivers for my Radeon 9600 will help one or both, but I can't get them to install on my 9.10 install. [01:47] lifestream: just rerun the updates [01:47] CPU info: cat /proc/cpuinfo [01:47] will it run them wihtout my knowledge/consent? [01:47] Hey [01:48] If you have a question about wine, just go to #winehq [01:48] Arix007: most likely not [01:48] I have a question [01:48] so yes [01:48] Wallace, /dev/sdb1 [01:48] Arix007: if it can do it in windows, it is most likely possible in wine [01:48] flootenkerp, eh it should be "brasero". [01:48] Yeah, got it. Thanks kostkon [01:48] I am trying to install Ubuntu on a windows ME, and it keeps freezing. [01:48] i just installed ubuntu and my wifi doesent work i need to install mad wifi i beleive [01:48] righto. so wine is for apps that do not have nix equivalens? [01:48] Sorry for my noobiness and all [01:48] jrib, I have, a bunch of times. When I do, I get ""Fetched 3,379B in 2s (1,602B/s)"" (that means that there are updates, right?) [01:48] Removed /etc/X11/Xsession.d/<55* and more> and created /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55-xfce4-initrc with xfce4-session into it ! This changes startx or xdm desktop from gnome to xfce4... eheh. [01:48] what other advantage is there to using WINE? [01:48] Guest10572: if that is a atheros card, you have support for it out of the box. ath5k is the module you need [01:48] Arix007: however, many bugs in windows that viruses rely on don't eist in wine, and wine lacks some windows compatibility [01:48] how do i summon that services gui config [01:48] Wallace, If i use original mount point it works [01:48] COME ON [01:48] flootenkerp, if you use ubuntu, it should be in applications → sound & video i think [01:49] lifestream: what did you run exactly? [01:49] My second question is a wine question. I'd like to run Runes of Magic under Wine, or Play on Linux. I went through all of the instructions found here http://gameshogun.ws/libregame/install-runes-of-magic-on-ubuntu-linux, but no go. When I try to open the program, it does nothing at all. Any ideas? [01:49] people sure do have a lot of problems, considering Ubuntu is supposed to be the easiest most user friendly linux distro [01:49] Arix007: it is mainly for running windowes applications and development [01:49] jrib, sudo apt-get update [01:49] skoyles: you have to be patient [01:49] Anyone know why the installer keeps freezing while i try to install it [01:49] skoyles: sory, wrong user [01:49] skoyles: i agree [01:49] the cat man: i've just looked at the man page for mount - you can't change the mount options on a --bind, so if the orignal fs is read only, then the bound mount will be too [01:49] I inserted my LiveCD, installed gparted and then deleted Ubuntu's partitions. I now have some unallocated space that i was going to use to increase my Personal Files partition with. I can't get into Windows 7 however, as the GRUB loader is still there. I'm currently using my LiveCD just to use my laptop; how do i remove the GRUB loader? [01:49] su-icide: you have to be patient; try bum [01:49] where do i get ath5k? [01:49] lifestream: that just resynchronizes the package index, it doesn't upgrade anything [01:49] guys im trying to watch my fellowship of the ring dvd and it dosent play [01:49] Ubuntu is easy but it still has a learning curve if you are new to it [01:49] i dont have no bum lstarnes [01:50] Can anyone help me? [01:50] hi all... I wanna buzz in empathy, any idea?? [01:50] Guest10572: load it [01:50] i am really new to it [01:50] any tips on where to start? [01:50] I am unable to use alt-tab? [01:50] been a windows user my entire life [01:50] what do you meen load it? [01:50] same here Arix [01:50] and the whole command system etc looks soo daunting [01:50] arix007, congratulations. the channel is #windows !!!! [01:50] Guest10572: man modprobe [01:50] arix007 -- save yourself the headache and get a mac. [01:50] jrib, right ^.^ Well, I guess the update must have gone through then ^.^ Thank you jrib [01:50] Wallace, but the original mount point every one can write to but soon as i use --bind i get read only [01:50] su-icide: can you find it in the menu? [01:50] Arix....Just jump in and start pointing and clicking. Just like you did when you were new to windows. [01:50] lifestream: is that what you interrupted? an « apt [01:50] lifestream: is that what you interrupted? an « apt-get update »? [01:51] Can anyone please help me remove the GRUB loader? [01:51] turiot: what do you want to replace it with? [01:51] why do you want to do that? [01:51] * greezmunkey refers Linux haters to #whining [01:51] I need help. The installer keeps freezing [01:51] Anyone here use Cairo? Will it always ask me to use openGL or is there an auto yes function? [01:51] mac is not an option. and there is a good reason i am switching to nix [01:51] Arix007: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html is a great guide [01:51] skoyles, trolling? [01:51] greezmunkey: is that really a channel? :) [01:51] Can anyone help meh [01:51] !wine | Arix007 [01:51] Arix007: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [01:51] jrib, apt-get upgrade [01:51] After a few weeks of using ubuntu I couldn't believe I had been using windows for 14 years [01:51] koston, I'm frustrated. [01:51] i tried ath5k before and it couldent get it to work [01:51] donno :) [01:51] guys im trying to watch my fellowship of the ring dvd and it dosent play [01:52] yes but i do not wish to use wine [01:52] theoneguy [01:52] lifestream: so run that now [01:52] theoneguy: depends on the problem [01:52] since wine will basibly remove most of hte protection a nix kernel offers [01:52] Ok [01:52] skoyles, ok. i also can say only 1 thing: be patient [01:52] i'm trying to give this ubuntu thing a fair shot. but it wont even install [01:52] from malware etc [01:52] Guest10572: I stick with the default atheros drivers ... [01:52] Arix007: not really [01:52] Wallace: im not sure what you mean? I just want it to run how it did before i installed Ubuntu. It would go straight into Windows 7. I'm going to install Ubuntu inside windows 7 after this [01:52] Arix007: no it won't [01:52] ThatOneGuy: in what part ? [01:52] turiot: Removing the bootloader would leave your system in an unbootable state. Please state the *exact* thing you want to accomplish. [01:52] Arix007: it won't usually run anything that you don't put into it [01:52] I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a Windows ME computer. === MacGyverNL_ is now known as MacGyverNL [01:52] Arix007: Wine is seperate from your actasul Ubuntu install [01:52] and it keeps freezing, the install [01:52] Guest10572: i find that hard to belive as you did not even know how to load the mod [01:52] Guest10572: had issues in 9.04 ... but its working well in 9.10 [01:52] jrib, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. So the upgrade went through? [01:52] koston, am being patient. have left the installer sitting idle for 30 mins. It's hung. so now I'm turning here for help bc it appears to be the only resource [01:52] Arix007: it just runs inside it [01:52] Don't use wine. Either use Linux or use Windows. Running windows on linux is so gay [01:52] Arix007: each user even has a separate .wine folder [01:52] lifestream: yes [01:52] jrib, *snickers* thank you very much :P [01:53] turiot: can you boot into windows at all? [01:53] but this is like a cottage industry of tech support. [01:53] Arix007: you could just run wine as an unpriviliged user without access to sudo [01:53] Guest10572: what type of wifi card is it? [01:53] Dual boot if you need bot OSes [01:53] ThatOneGuy: kill Windows ME :) [01:53] Arix007: Wine has a fake Windows drive basically, which tricks programs into thinking that they are running on Windows [01:53] skoyles, have you tried the alternate install cd? [01:53] Arix007: or even use a chroot [01:53] lstarnes> Arix007: it won't usually run anything that you don't put into it [01:53] sunray_major: its not gay at all [01:53] that doesnt sound very convining im afraid [01:53] koston, I'm using the one I dl'ed from the website. didn't see an alternate. what's the difference? [01:53] zetheroo: How can I do that if the installer wont go to it? [01:53] MacGyverNL_: i wish to remove the GRUB loader and have the original loader come up, so that when i turn my laptop on it goes straight into Windows 7. I want to install Ubuntu inside of W7 with Wubi. Wallace, no. When i turn my laptop on, the GRUB loader comes up without any options and has an error. The only way i can do anything with my laptop is with the Ubuntu LiveCD [01:53] Arix007: it's not like Windows [01:53] Arix007: I've never seen it run anything without my consent [01:53] ThatOneGuy: you booting from an Ubuntu CD? [01:53] Arix007: it will only run stuff that you installed in to it [01:54] turiot: can you boot into windows from grub ok? [01:54] guys im trying to watch my fellowship of the ring dvd and it dosent play how do i play a commercial dvd? [01:54] zetheroo: Yes. [01:54] Arix007: unlike the windows kernel, wine exits when all applications on top of it exit [01:54] ThatOneGuy: in what part it freezes? [01:54] turiot: do yyou have have your windows install cd? [01:54] ThatOneGuy: and does it go to the language selection? [01:54] Wallace: no, i can't boot into anything from GRUB, it gives me an error. And no, it was preinstalled [01:54] again i am new to windows so terms like sudo chroot etc mean nothing to me xD [01:54] zetheroo: The part after i click "install ubuntu" where it shows the logo and loading bar thingy [01:54] Arix007: depending on how you configure its directory access, it might only be able to access its specific folder and nothing else [01:54] yeah, I can chose that [01:54] koston, I see there are other install options, but I have no idea what they mean. such as: acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, edd=on..... ??? How am I supposed to know what these mean? [01:54] skoyles, the alternate it's just a text installer. it doesnt load any graphics [01:54] Arix007: Wine is only for running Windows programs not including drivers [01:54] ThatOneGuy: ok ... and then its stuck? [01:54] turiot: do yyou have have your windows install cd? === YDdraigGoch is now known as Richie [01:55] ok. i imagine configuring it to only access its specific folder is difficult? [01:55] hi, how do i deselect services from starting at startup in karmic? [01:55] zetheroo: yeah it freezes after loading for a few minutes [01:55] ThatOneGuy: have you tried loading the Live Session? [01:55] ok i lied u just sudo vmware [01:55] Arix007: no [01:55] turiot: join the #windows channel, tell them what you've done, and that you want to replace the "master boot record" using your windows install cd, which I presume you still have [01:55] n then u can do so [01:55] zetheroo: Yep, same thing. [01:55] thatoneguy, I'm having the SAME PROBLEM! [01:55] aight PCE [01:55] Arix007: winecfg has a graphical list of drives [01:55] ThatOneGuy: have you checked media before installing ? [01:55] skoyles: Really? [01:55] Arix007: Have you got Wine installed yet? [01:55] i have to restart my computer my browser froze [01:55] ThatOneGuy: how about an older release ? ... got any older CD's? [01:55] epinky: what do you mean? [01:55] Arix007: you can remove all drives except c: and have c: point to one particular directory [01:55] seb: i am now upgrading to ubuntu 9.10 from 9.04 [01:56] ThatOneGuy: yup, exactly. click on load, and it just gets hung with the little animation thing that stops going across [01:56] will take another 49 minutes :s [01:56] zetheroo: I've tried both 9.04 and 9.10 [01:56] Arix007: oh an upgrade hmm [01:56] Arix007: I also have it access one of my two cd drives [01:56] Wallace, that's the thing i -dont- still have that. It was preinstalled on my laptop [01:56] Arix007: Many people got issues after upgrading from 9.04, hopefuly that won't happen to you [01:56] !backup [01:56] ThatOneGuy: there is one option about "checking media" [01:56] There are many ways to back your system up.

[01:56] Arix007: that varyed [01:56] i just spent over an hour downloading the packages [01:56] zetheroo: Yes, the 9.04 worked on a newer computer a couple months ago. [01:56] epinky: I'll check it out [01:56] Arix007: depending on hardware and such [01:56] Wallace, no i can't boot into anything. That's why im using my LiveCD, it's the only way i can do anything with my laptop at the moment [01:57] hello [01:57] ThatOneGuy: ok and what about your CD/DVDrom drive? ...

[01:57] skoyles, it's not as simple as the live cd installer, but it will at least load [01:58] Wallace: no, why? [01:58] how do you change the login screen on ubuntu 9.10 [01:58] Arix007: going back to Wine now [01:58] bullox. should have researched about the actual 9.10. cant afford to waste more time [01:58] turiot: okay, what os are you running from the livecd? [01:58] zetheroo: Alright, so what should I do? [01:58] Wallace: see he is scrwed [01:58] ThatOneGuy: I would boot into Windows and try to play a DVD movie off of the drive ...

[01:58] lotec: if he still has his windows partition, he should be able to just fix the mbr [01:58] Good idea Arix [01:58] zetheroo: Alright [01:58] Guest164: for that very reason I am doing KDM instead :) [01:58] Ubuntu can breath life into an older laptop [01:59] skoyles, yeah, why not. it will be a little bit slow but that's a good option for a beginner [01:59] zetheroo: I just started the 'check disk for defects' option. [01:59] turiot: did you delete windows off the machine when you installed ubuntu? [01:59] Wallace, correct, but he has no cd no usb stick [01:59] its an old lappy so it wouldnt handle xp or win7 [01:59] ThatOneGuy: ok ... [01:59] and that is doing it's thing [01:59] skoyles, try wubi then [01:59] hi, how to modify order of boot on my grub in ubuntu 9.10?

[02:00] brando753: please be specific... [02:00] brando753, have you tried vlc? [02:00] turiot: you sure you didn't delete the windows partition? it usually takes up the full disk [02:00] yeah. i have heard from a friend compared ot windows nix kernels are less resource intensive [02:00] zetheroo: Yeah [02:00] Arix007, it's pretty secure without anything added... not many hackers go after Linux OS with malware or the like. [02:00] the_cat_man: i have [02:00] zetheroo: The disk checcker thing is half way done. [02:00] hello,everyone~ [02:00] Wallace, no because i split the partition. C for W7, E for my personal files [02:00] Arix007, I made 9.10 run perfect on an old Dell Inspiron 1100, 40GB drive, P2 celeron (I think), and 256MB RAM! [02:00] so i am to have no fear of keyloggers etc? [02:00] ooboontoo, rhorse in ubuntu 9.10 this file non exists [02:00] Arix007, Most security holes get fixed same day. [02:00] Arix007: generally, no [02:00] this channel is so not responsive [02:00] still some form of firewal/ anti malware should be put in place no? [02:00] jasonmchristos: how about rm -fr /home/dir [02:01] jasonmchristos, sudo rm -rf /home/username [02:01] Arix007: anti-malware is rarely needed [02:01] ooboontoo, rhorse this file non exists is a problem [02:01] jrib: im tring to play the lord of the rings, the fellowship dvd and i have installed the css library however it is scrambled video with jumping audio for the menu then no video for the movie [02:01] ok whats -fr because it wasnt listed in help [02:01] yet when it is needed i wont have it? [02:01] Arix007: but it is useful to have chkrootkit and rkhunter [02:01] my recorder is always muted [02:01] even if i switch it on,and close the volume controller ,it gets muted again [02:01] ,,,and i need the recorder badly because depend on it in skype [02:01] and empathy [02:01] and i found that no one had this problem from a very long time,, [02:01] blackshell: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:01] and it used to work a few days back,no idea what happened now?!! [02:01] Arix007, the beauty of open source is that it doesn't need all that [02:01] ok thankyou [02:01] Arix007: they can be used for rootkit detection [02:01] brando753: do other DVDs work? [02:01] Arix007: Yes whatever the OS if it is Internet connected you should have a firewall, ideally a hardware firewall, one built into a router will probably do the trick [02:01] how do I enable a "compiz background" ? [02:01] ThatOneGuy: cool .... if you are installing Ubuntu to replace the current OS then you need not worry about compatibility :) [02:01] Hi, any recomended places to look for information on writing a script during bootup process? Specifically, I'm trying to redirect output of running /sbin/ifconfig -a to a file /mylog. I created the /etc/init.d/myscript and made it executable and ran update-rc.d myscript defaults, but it doesn't seem to run because nothing is put into the mylog folder. please not [02:01] Thanks in advance. [02:01] Arix007: rootkits are rare, but they do sometimes infect systems [02:01] i wouldnt know [02:01] Profion: sorry mate, ive never heard of the rhorse file :-( [02:01] dd [02:01] jrib: i wouldnt know [02:02] Arix007: they often rely on old vulnerabilities thta many newer systems have fixed [02:02] turiot: okay, here's what you do: go to http://ms-sys.sourceforge.net/ - download it under ubuntu, follow the instructions to compile it, and then run that [02:02] brando753: have you ejected the dvd since you installed css? [02:02] jrib: no [02:02] jasonmchristos, it will delete recursively every file and folder including the root one, i mean the /home/username [02:02] brando753: do that [02:02] zetheroo: Alright, I just hope I can get it to work; I have a broken computer at home, I could try replacing the disk drive later to see if that fixes, but lets see what the disk checker thing says === matthew is now known as Guest53844 [02:02] how do i remove the partitan [02:02] in ubuntu? [02:02] ThatOneGuy: good on ya [02:02] Profion: google for menu.lst to see what dir it occurs?

[02:02] ooboontoo, rhorse is a other member of this channel.... [02:02] zetherool: It's done, no errors found. [02:03] kostkon: ok i knew thats what i needed bu the hlp didnt tell me about it [02:03] Apocapus: are you going to uninstall ubuntu? [02:03] Apocapus: *partition [02:03] zetheroo: no errors [02:03] yeah [02:03] jasonmchristos: look for -f and -r in man rm [02:03] jasonmchristos, what help do you mean? [02:03] so the correct switch is -fr [02:03] ThatOneGuy: fantastic ... so its most likely your CD/DVD drive [02:03] ooboontoo, sorry, problem of my comunication... rsrs [02:03] hi [02:03] i cant use it [02:03] Apocapus: Why?

[02:04] !details | Apocapus [02:04] Apocapus: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [02:04] Apocapus: Can't use it? [02:04] Wallace, okay thank you [02:04] hello [02:04] brando753, is it a dvd with DRM such as .wmv? [02:04] 9.10 [02:04] rhorse, i will see the link, thanks [02:04] Apocapus: uh huh, but why? [02:04] zetheroo: What do you mensa, optical drive [02:04] mean [02:04] I like Ubuntu...I just want to try another Os [02:04] ThatOneGuy: CD/DVD drive [02:05] I've been informed that kernel 2.6.31.15 has already out..may I know why there is still not in my apt-get update? [02:05] i got it to wrok thanks guys [02:05] Apocapus: try as many as you like in VirtualBox :) [02:05] Apocapus: you can just reformat its partition for the next OS [02:05] the_cat_man: got it to work [02:05] zetheroo: Nope, not at the moment. It probably is the drive though, because it worked fine on a different comp. [02:05] lobak: which version of ubuntu are you using? [02:05] Apocapus: yes that's a good idea if your having problems maybe sound or wireless, try another Linux distro such as Mandriva. partitions can be deleted from the Live CD [02:05] How? [02:05] zetheroo: I might be able to switch the two drives later to see if that works [02:05] Apocapus: most OS installers have an option for that [02:05] ThatOneGuy: yeah ok ... and its probably a pretty old machine right? [02:06] lstarnes, 9.10 [02:06] brando753, if it is a DRM restricted one try enabling Medibuntu sources => https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [02:06] I didn't know My MMOs wouldn't work...on wine....I miss my friend [02:06] Hi there, I have some issues with the sound. I like to use Amarok, but when I play Zsnes (even if the music is stopped) the sounds screws up [02:06] zetheroo: The one im trying to install, yeah, probably 9 years. [02:06] Apocapus: MMO's? [02:06] Apocapus: oh games [02:06] Apocapus: many people who use ubuntu dual boot [02:06] brando753, Ah great well done [02:06] When I stop Amarok, the thing is resolved [02:06] Uhhh....I was stupid [02:06] What can I do? [02:06] ThatOneGuy: wow ... good man ... :) [02:06] Profion: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [02:06] Would it be a bad choice to wipe windows 7 off a brand new Netbook to replace it with ubuntu? [02:06] I used the whole thing [02:06] Apocapus: 3D or 2D game? [02:07] apocapus: i dual boot...actually i'm running vista right now [02:07] speculater: depends what you want to do on the computer [02:07] I want a Netbook, but I don't want windows. [02:07] zetheroo: haha yea :). I hope I can get it to work, I like ubuntu and I don't like Windows ME (A bit old) [02:07] speculator i got better batt performance on nmy netbook with xp home [02:07] Its in between 2d and 3d [02:07] brando753, then sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [02:07] lobak: it might take a while to get to the main repos [02:07] But its Korean... [02:07] rhorse, the first link don't solve my problem, i will see the last link [02:07] speculater: if you dont want windows then i think ubuntu is a good idea [02:07] apocapus: do you have windows installer disks?# [02:07] ThatOneGuy: a bit old? ... haha ... that piece of software was dead in the water :) [02:07] Ummm no [02:07] netbook, how much more battery life? [02:07] has anyone had success with installing ubuntu on a dell poweredge t300 server with SAS6(R controller? [02:07] Hi there, I have some issues with the sound. I like to use Amarok, but when I play Zsnes (even if the music is stopped) the sounds screws up [02:07] I downloaded one though [02:07] Apocapus: maybe a Windows virtual machine with Virtualbox 3.0+ depending on your graphics card and such as well, or Wine if you can get it configured, or yes Windows and Ubuntu dual boot [02:07] speculator like an hour or two [02:07] When I stop Amarok, the thing is resolved. What can I do? [02:08] ThatOneGuy: but yeah ... hope you can get it changed over ... whats the hardware you have? [02:08] zetheroo: haha yeah [02:08] zetheroo: Hardware? Such as specs? [02:08] Uhhh I used the whole hard drive [02:08] No space left [02:08] i need to get the Atheros Wireless LAN Driver [02:08] ThatOneGuy: yah [02:08] apocapus: well if you have one, you could try installing virtualbox and running windows inside that...it will probably work better than wine...but I've never used it, so no primises [02:08] has anyone had success with installing ubuntu on a dell poweredge t300 server with SAS6IR controller? [02:08] speculator depends on what you are doing, but at minimum an hour more [02:08] i cant get my wireless card to work [02:08] speculater: yes i get worse battery life on linux compared to win7 also [02:08] lstarnes, so is it possible if i download the .deb and install it myself? since I'm currently using 2.6.31.14 and it has issue with my usb 3g modem. I've heard that 2.6.31.15 already fix that problem [02:08] Supermatt1000: worked out of the box with mine [02:08] Uhhh I try but the windows are so small [02:08] zetheroo: I'd have to check, but it's got 32 gigs and not that much ram [02:08] not mine [02:08] lobak: it would be safer to wait until it gets to the repos [02:08] playing games on it is impossible [02:08] i just installed 9.10 [02:08] Supermatt1000: details? [02:08] netbook, I don't game at all, but I like Ubuntu a lot. [02:08] or at least a hastle [02:08] Spec, http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/20057/Dell-Vostro-A90-Netbook-Intel-Atom-1-6GHz--512MB-DDR2--8GB-SSD--8-9-Screen--Webcam--Wifi--Bluetooth--Ubuntu-Linux-207 [02:09] Apocapus: partitions can be resized, also if Windows is put on after Ubuntu, it will overwrite the boot loader, well the part of it in your Master Boot Record, and then Windows will only boot, and sorting out the boot loader can be a bit of a pain [02:09] I would like to have both programs working. The same happens when I play assaultcube, but amarok makes it impossible [02:09] lobak: or (this might be dangerous) enable the proposed or backport repos [02:09] ThatOneGuy: ok.... [02:09] do i have to enable it or something?? [02:09] speculator i think everyone in here likes ubuntu ;) [02:09] apocapus: in that case, dual booting is probably the way to go [02:09] Hi all. How do I find out which xorg clients have grabbed keys? [02:09] Supermatt......Update your hardware drivers [02:09] netbook, but I know that windows is required for just about any compatability. [02:09] how [02:09] my quickcam light is turned on, but I can't see anything, does anyone know how to use ekiga to help ? [02:09] netbook: no, there was a troll on earlier moaning [02:09] Supermatt1000: it really helps if you mention the name of the person you are communicating with :) [02:09] rhorse, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 i think this solve my problem [02:09] really??? [02:09] Apocapus: as a result it's easier to install Windows first, and then another OS [02:09] lstarnes, alright then, I'll try that [02:09] speculator not really, openoffice surprised me by opening docx like a champ [02:09] Awwwww [02:09] So I'm screwed? [02:09] Profion: yes, I think it should ;) [02:09] Supermatt1000: what chipset do you have? [02:10] lobak: I don't know if it is in those repos though. [02:10] supermatt....System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [02:10] Apocapus: yes I guess Microsoft don't like other OS's, so they make sure to go over the boot loader [02:10] I have this environment variable I want set for menu items. Where do i put it? [02:10] Apocapus: and no your not [02:10] rhorse, i try modify the time of boot now [02:10] lobak: try checking http://packages.ubuntu.com [02:10] Apocapus: don't be like that :) [02:10] Wallace, the steps on this site aren't very clear; they're very vague. Could you guide me through it please? I just unpacked the file onto my desktop. Now what? [02:10] zetheroo: Hmm, now instead of freezing it's a blank screen. [02:10] ThatOneGuy: ugh [02:10] turios: did you unpack the archive?

[02:11] haha [02:11] ...and then make install? [02:11] is setting a root password a good deturrant from rootkits? [02:11] Wallace, i don't know what that means... [02:11] ThatOneGuy: with the same drive though ... right? [02:11] sebsebseb, I bet if you asked a microsoft employee about dual booting, they'll look at you funny and ask why you have an older version of windows installed [02:11] zetheroo: Yeah... [02:11] ThatOneGuy: do you have one of those cleaning kits for optical drives? [02:11] turiot, after unpacking, do "cd ms-sys" (no quotes) [02:11] I found a microsoft site and it was giving advice saying I have to remove the partitian [02:11] I don't know how to do it though [02:11] zetheroo: Nope [02:11] jasonmchristos: no [02:11] I'll never see my friends again [02:11] !grub | Apocapus [02:11] Apocapus: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10).

[02:13] Its ok [02:13] Supermatt.....Did you try my suggestion? [02:14] Supermatt1000: I tried ... [02:14] does anyone here use ekiga ? [02:14] jasonmchristos: did you ever set a password for it? [02:14] I'll brb, trying to see if the installer will work [02:14] yes i did [02:14] sunray what was your suggestion? [02:14] as far as gaming is concerned linux was given a bad hand [02:14] anyone figure out how to switch workspaces with the scroll wheel while mousing over workspace selector (applet in lower right hand corner) in compiz on ubuntu 9/10 [02:14] jasonmchristos: did you use sudo passwd -l afterwards? [02:14] i know the old safemode administrator bypass passwords for xp [02:14] I wish I had some advice [02:14] Supermatt1000: never saw your chipset [02:14] o yah how do i up date my hardware drivers [02:14] so i thought i would set a root pass on ubuntu [02:14] i dont no it [02:15] It's something about alsa, or OSS, that involves both programs? [02:15] turiot: you still there? did you do the tar -xzvf thing? [02:15] I would like to knoe [02:15] no i didnt [02:15] how i find my chip set [02:15] Supermatt....Check your hardware drivers....I had the same problem when I went to 9.10 [02:15] know* [02:15] Apocapus: advise for what? ... if you wanted to game you should have asked about it before installing Ubuntu [02:15] i'm going to try experimental 3d support with virtualbox [02:15] uhhh Im stupid [02:15] Wallace, yeah sorry. I just tried that and it said the directory didn't exist. I'm downloading the file now and trying again [02:15] Supermatt1000, what are you trying to do? [02:15] HaguMe: sorry ... not an alsa expert ... have you tried in #alsa ? [02:15] lstarnes: so just run that command and it locks only root? [02:15] Supermatt.......System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [02:15] jasonmchristos: yes [02:15] im trying to get the athero wifi drivers working [02:16] jasonmchristos: or try sudo passwd -l root [02:16] I don't know is such problem involves alsa [02:16] it dident find my wifi drivers [02:16] turiot: it might be ms-sys.xxxx something - do an ls, and cd to that directory [02:16] whats the model number/name [02:16] Apocapus: maybe you can get your game working in Wine #winehq for help with that [02:16] Supermatt.......System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [02:16] ok [02:16] jasonmchristos: use -u to unlock [02:16] I Have sound issues, that I haven't had before [02:16] did that sun ray [02:16] I've been trying [02:16] HaguMe, which apps do you want to use at the same time? [02:16] I don't know why two programs that use sound got so complicated [02:16] Apocapus, It doesn't help any that developers don't even know OpenGL exists. [02:16] brb [02:16] Its all glitchy and does nothing and I think I broke wine too [02:16] HaguMe: if you're using 9.10 then it's a PulseAudio issue [02:16] Amarok (music background) and any game [02:16] Supermatt1000: chipset? :) [02:16] like Zsnes, Assaultcube, etc [02:17] Supermatt.....Google your wifi card to find a driver then [02:17] Wallace, if it's really all of this trouble, then should i just reinstall Ubuntu as another partition then? I don't feel very brave doing all of this :/ [02:17] epinky: Yes I've 9.10 installed [02:17] HaguMe, ok [02:17] Supermatt1000, i can help you but tell me the name/model of you wifi card [02:17] rhorse, finished the modification, i test now.... [02:17] hehhe [02:17] sunray_major: been trying for forever to get him to say what his device is ... [02:17] this what you mean 802.11b/g WLAN [02:17] turiot: it's up to you, but in theory....if windows is on your first drive/parition, it should work [02:17] Supermatt1000: no ... lspci [02:17] sigh [02:18] HaguMe, eh, maybe one of these tries to access the sound device directly, and not use pulseaudio or alsa's mixer thus it blocks the device [02:18] Wallace: you got some big balls man [02:18] Supermatt1000: in the terminal ... do lspci and look for your Atheros chipset [02:18] rhorse, if i no back, any problem exists [02:18] turiot: what you ultimately need to do, I believe, is fix the MBR on your primary drive [02:18] kostkon: What can I do against that? [02:18] Is there anyway to remove Ubuntu before I install windows [02:18] Ugh, I'm just gonna have to try a new disk drive later [02:18] HaguMe, and then pulse can't use it that's why you lose sound in amarok for exampe, i assume [02:18] Apocapus: just delete its partition [02:18] fuck the police [02:18] lotec: lol if you can think of a better way to fix him up, go for it [02:18] How? [02:18] thats what I want to know [02:18] Apocapus: the windows installer can format disks completely [02:18] maple1, stop that please [02:18] HaguMe, eh find the problematic app and make it work with pulseaudio [02:19] Apocapus: which will usually delete partitions [02:19] i will be back [02:19] lotec: but I think all he should need to do is fix up the MBR [02:19] ThatOneGuy: yep [02:19] Supermatt1000, no. Mine has aerthos chipset but its name is a 3com 3CRDAG675B PCI Wireless Adapter [02:19] It should be amarok? [02:19] but will Windows Xp be the same? [02:19] Or I need to choose another sound driver? [02:19] Wallace: reinstall ubuntu, that is all he has to do is fixmbr [02:19] Apocapus: it will take over the whole hard disk [02:19] Wallace, does this guy have anything he needs to save on his hard drive? [02:19] redDEADresolve: been trying for forever to get the info from him .. . [02:19] Apocapus: xp is known for wanting to erase other OSes [02:19] oh.... [02:19] Becaus I've put OSS as default [02:19] this is what it said [02:19] lotec: his problem is that he installed it and it doesn't work...doesn't get past grub i believe [02:19] Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [02:19] HaguMe, don;t think so. maybe it's assaultcube and definitely the znes emulator. i think it has some audio bugs [02:19] where is a good place to ask about creating a custom liveCD based on the karmic iso? [02:20] But I only have Tinyxp [02:20] Wallace: I AGREE all he has to do is fixmbr [02:20] but Amarok Isn't using OSS I guess [02:20] Alright everyone, I'm out. [02:20] :/ [02:20] Thanks for the help, zetheroo. [02:20] what command do I use to see what key command is being sent when I press certain keys? [02:20] lstarnes: it said password expiry info changed, what does this mean [02:20] ThatOneGuy: take care ... good luck [02:20] It's weird, I used to play them before, without problems [02:20] Wallace: it cant get past grub as his /boot dir is gone [02:20] !remaster | mozmck [02:20] mozmck: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [02:20] insm0d: afaik: he has a working windows install, and he just wants to "get rid of ubuntu" i.e. have it boot straight into windows...so an MBR fix should so the trick [02:20] since 7.10 [02:20] jasonmchristos: it means that the password's expiration date has been modified [02:20] Supermatt1000: good on ya [02:20] lstarnes: but why would locking it modify the date [02:20] Supermatt1000: now have you searched google for an answer ? [02:20] HaguMe, eh, you may use amarok with the xine or gstreamer backend. i am sure it works ok with pulse whichever backend you use [02:20] Wallace, oh, okay. [02:21] jasonmchristos: -l automatically makes its expiry time equal to one second after midnight on january 1 1970 [02:21] jasonmchristos: it makes the password expire [02:21] ubottu: I've looked at those links and they don't answer some of my questions [02:21] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:21] jasonmchristos: rendering it useless [02:21] lotec: ahh, didn't know that...., well i guess he could just re-install ubuntu, but ultimately, if he still wants to get rid of it, he will have to replace the MBR [02:21] hold on i dident type the hole chip set in google [02:21] kostkon: How do I do that? [02:21] mozmck: ask in here if someone knows they will answer [02:21] lstarnes: so now i should forget the password i set? [02:21] Supermatt1000........Try http://ubuntuforums.org/ It's an awesome place to find help/info about ubuntu [02:21] jasonmchristos: it might be useless now [02:21] what if someone changed my system date too 1969 [02:21] jasonmchristos: if you remember it, see if it fails using sudo [02:22] jasonmchristos: unix time cannot go before january 1 1970 when unsigned [02:22] Wallace: correct. i just said you have big balls :D [02:22] jasonmchristos: it would roll over to 2038 in 32-bit unsigned unix time [02:22] can i do sudo from a user account? [02:22] !jasonchristos, then you should go get together with your girlfriend for a night of fun... 1969 has GOT to be a sign. [02:22] jasonmchristos: yes [02:22] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:22] HaguMe, choose backend? i don't know exactly. but you could check in amarok prefs. [02:22] can i use sudo from a user account [02:22] wow [02:23] DisguisedAngel: hah! [02:23] jasonmchristos: as long as it is in the admin griup or has access from /etc/sudoers [02:23] Supermatt1000: can you see wireless networks ? [02:23] feyner: that is the best one i seen all night [02:23] lstarnes: no its just a standard user [02:23] lotec: lol i had to figure this all out myself a few weeks ago...ironically it didn't fix my problem because it was something a little different [02:23] ok, I compiled a custom kernel with the ubuntu config (with some changes), and it made an initrd.gz. it looks like the liveCD wants in initrd.lz can I can what the liveCD is looking for? [02:23] jasonmchristos: no admin access? [02:23] no [02:23] i can not [02:23] Supermatt1000, sudo lshw -C network and look at the output. do not copy and past in inot irc but fins the product part [02:23] feyner: Wht do you mean? [02:23] lotec, that wouldnt be the purpose of sudo [02:23] lstarnes: no [02:23] feyner: :-D [02:23] jasonmchristos: then it can't sudo [02:23] Supermatt1000: talking to me? [02:23] Feyner: i thoguht the purpose was to do sudo as su - [02:23] kostkon: I'll try to change it right away [02:24] im here [02:24] how can I see what key command Linux is getting when I press certain keys. It's some sort of command that, in terminal, will keep a running output of what is pressed. [02:24] lstarnes: but when you sudo dont you have to use the pass for the user you are logged in as? [02:24] redDEADresolve: he already said what the device model is [02:24] jasonmchristos: yes [02:24] if not, how do I get an initrd.lz? do I need to recompile the kernel with lz compression? [02:24] Where is the partition? [02:24] lstarnes: so really i would need to try and login as root [02:24] lotec, you have got it all wrong. sudo -c 'sudo su' [02:24] zetheroo, share? [02:24] I only have tinyxp and it doesn't overwrite shit [02:24] Supermatt1000: if your talking to someone try to mention their name .... [02:24] jasonmchristos: but a user can only use sudo if and only if he or she is in /etc/sudoers OR ina group that is in /etc/sudoers [02:24] kostkon: The only one that appears in Amarok is xine [02:24] jasonmchristos: AND he or she has his or her password [02:24] redDEADresolve: AR5001 [02:25] jasonmchristos, never log in as root [02:25] feyner: o i see [02:25] zentheroo yah [02:25] lstarnes: i know but you were telling me i should just see if the password is now useless [02:25] jasonmchristos, just use sudo, it will work. trust me. [02:25] jasonmchristos: you can check with su - [02:25] jasonmchristos: if the root password fails, then it is locked [02:25] mozmck, an initrd is basically a very basic system in a file. It contains just enough utilities to mount your root drive and start up init. [02:25] disguised: pfft, i'm lazy.... sudo bash all the way baby [02:25] Supermatt1000.....Are you a Green Bay Packers fan? [02:25] HaguMe, it should be ok. the problem i think is with assault and the nes emulator [02:25] sunray_major yah [02:25] Supermatt1000: its zetheroo ... make a little bit of effort and it goes a long way .... :) [02:25] jasonmchristos: sudo and su are similar systems, but they are largely unrelated [02:26] zentheroo ok [02:26] Because they use OSS? [02:26] Apocapus: you can delete the partition for Ubuntu on the Live CD. system > administration > partition editor [02:26] Supermatt1000: by the way ... what machine do you have there? [02:26] feyner: and i am suposed to install this on my netbook? [02:26] !who | Supermatt1000 [02:26] Supermatt1000: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:26] insm0d: so what do I need to do? when I tried to boot from my CD it popped up a message box that said "casper/initrd.lz" [02:26] zentheroo i have a presairo cq60-419wm [02:26] flash sound works for one user with admin privileges but not the other user. any one know why? [02:26] Hello. How can i see what is my local ip ? [02:27] NetM: ifconfig [02:27] mozmck, was it an error message? [02:27] lotec, id honestly install it so you can experience the power of sudo [02:27] !who > Supermatt1000 [02:27] Supermatt1000, please see my private message [02:27] insm0d: I guess, it wouldn't boot [02:27] kostkon: I've chosen pulseaudio in Amarok as output, but the emulator doesn't even dare to sound [02:27] I can't find that [02:27] question with windows kernels there are 64. and 32 bit systems is there such a restriction with nix? such as ubuntu? [02:27] anyone got an answer for me? I need the command that will monitor and display what key signal Linux is getting when I press keys on my keyboard. [02:27] lstarnes: ty :) [02:27] feyner: how am i going to rember sudo -c sudo su - ???? [02:27] eg can only use 3gb of ram even if there is 12 [02:27] Arix007: yes [02:27] Apocapus: you need to be on the bootable Live CD [02:27] lotec, is google broke? [02:27] Supermatt1000: good of you to try .... :) but its zetheroo NOT zentheroo ... [02:27] HaguMe, check in the emulator prefs then. what options does it have for sound? [02:27] lotec: just remember sudo -i [02:27] Of Ubuntu? [02:27] That file may have been damaged. Is the disc scratched or improperly mastered? [02:28] rhorse, with a modification works perfectly [02:28] microsoft is guilty of crimes against humanity [02:28] lotec: sudo -c sudo su - is overly convoluted [02:28] arix: it appears so - i have a 32bit ubuntu, and it only has ~3Gb, when I have 4 really [02:28] Apocapus: in the try Ubuntu without touching the computer option [02:28] I chose OSS [02:28] is there a bot answer for flash and/or sound? [02:28] Oh! [02:28] lotec: sudo -i is easier to remember, simpler, and does essentially the same thing [02:28] no shit [02:28] Ok I'll go see [02:28] zetheroo sorry about that [02:28] HaguMe, any other option available? [02:28] lstarnes: ok it doesnt work so if i do passwd -u it will remain the same changing expiry back? [02:28] Supermatt1000......Do you have internet with the network cable plugged in? [02:28] they are different, it should sound OK, isn't ? [02:28] Yes, Alsa [02:28] rhorse, thank you very much [02:28] Supermatt1000: AHHHHH fantastic :) [02:28] jasonmchristos: you might also want to change the password after using passwd -u [02:29] HaguMe, no. try with alsa first then [02:29] Supermatt1000: seems like you have a really wicked chipset there :( [02:29] Supermatt1000, http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1817623.html [02:29] Yes, I did that too [02:29] !factoid [02:29] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [02:29] but nothing [02:29] lol [02:29] sunray_major im useing the ethernet [02:29] I guess no one knows that command :( [02:29] Arix007, I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but linux has been ported to many different processor archetectures, including x86 and x86_64, or 32bit and 64bit processors in the Windows world [02:29] HaguMe, ok, you could select oss and then run the emulator with padsp [02:30] kostkon: You got me, padsp? [02:30] hi [02:30] ok thanks [02:30] hm [02:30] redDEADresolve whats that link for? [02:30] oddhyena: Hi [02:30] HaguMe, yeah [02:30] lstarnes: your joking right? [02:30] oddhyena, hi [02:30] Supermatt1000: whats the output of iwlist channel [02:30] lotec: joking about what?

[02:33] HaguMe, laggy? hmm [02:33] lotec: not in ubuntu [02:33] lotec: ubuntu locks the root account by default [02:33] lotec: so sudo must be used [02:33] lotec: su depends on root being unlocked [02:33] zetheroo http://paste.ubuntu.com/319009/ [02:33] HaguMe, ok. just keep it open for now and open amarok [02:34] lstarnes, sudo paswd root have a good day [02:34] Ok [02:34] HaguMe, check now if you'll hear sound coming from both of them at the same time [02:34] kostkon: What next? [02:34] feyner: that is stongly recommended against [02:34] feyner: eugh please no [02:34] hi guys , I've just installed libevent 1.4.12 from sources but my system doesn't recognize it [02:34] kostkon: OK, It works... [02:34] its recommended against because idiots use this os [02:34] Supermatt1000: ok well don't bother with ath5k ... that does not support your hardware [02:34] feyner: no [02:34] yes [02:34] feyner: it is good security practice [02:34] oh really? [02:34] but using sudo -i is? [02:34] feyner: no. sudo is much better than having a root password [02:34] ll anyone use ubuntu to mod xbox? [02:34] lotec, I don't know how much has changed, but from what I remember when you sudo something, it temporarily gave root access to your account. su - just ran it as root [02:34] feyner: setting a root password opens another vector for attack [02:34] i wonder if the PATH leads to /usr/local/bin first and then /usr/bin, because I have two zsnes binaries and it prefers the one in /usr/local/bin [02:34] HaguMe, but you said the sound is bad in zsnes. is it bearable at least? [02:35] VECTOR FOR ATTACK ON MY DESKTOP [02:35] zetheroo thats why i need to install mad wifi [02:35] ZOMG WHAT WILL I DO [02:35] feyner: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:35] feyner: yes. for one it gives audit trails, and secondly sudo can be locked down to specific commands [02:35] It's bearable, indeed, now the other issue is that is pretty darn laggy [02:35] oddhyena: type which zsnes [02:35] Supermatt1000: I don't think so [02:35] I'm getting "libevent-1.4.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [02:35] HaguMe, does zsnes have choppy/out of sync sound for you? [02:35] #xbox-linux [02:35] Supermatt1000: have you checked your blacklist [02:35] zetheroo ok [02:35] insmOd i know what sudo does. i use it on my mac [02:35] feyner: sudo also has more granular control [02:35] zetheroo wheres my black list? [02:35] !caps | feyner [02:35] feyner: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [02:35] and here is something weird for me http://pastie.org/699265 [02:35] #xbox-linux [02:35] lol [02:35] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ [02:35] !caps | sebsebseb [02:35] sebsebseb: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [02:35] oddhyena: Yes, laggy with pulseaudio [02:35] feyner: if this OS is an idiot os (idiot is a highly offensive term btw), why are you here? [02:36] !botabuse | feyner [02:36] feyner: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [02:36] HaguMe, using the source from zsnes.com doesn't have that problem [02:36] linxeh, i said idiots use this os. thanks for reading [02:36] Supermatt1000: pastebin the output of gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf [02:36] LaveliDeara, install the package that gives libevent-1.4.so.2. Hold on a sec and I'll find what package it is [02:36] HaguMe, is there a way to replace pulseaudio? [02:36] HaguMe, do you mean that the sound doesn't synchronise with the graphics? [02:36] feyner: do you use it? [02:36] feyner: right, ok :p [02:36] oddhyena: The thing is, that before 9.10 I could use Zsnes with amarok or xine without problems at once [02:36] lstarnes, actually no? [02:37] HaguMe, ie, Im asking if there is a better smoother solution? [02:37] kostkon: Yes, that's it [02:37] hah [02:37] insm0d: I've downloaded sources from http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ [02:37] HaguMe, hmm [02:37] * lotec uses OSX [02:37] EntityReborn: Well, I use 512x*** resolution so It shouldn't have any issues [02:37] HaguMe, do you have the option in its prefs to reduced the audio quality for example? or something like that? [02:37] reduce* [02:37] kostkon: No, It sounds great, but it's not sync [02:37] HaguMe, mainly I ask due to choppy wine sound [02:37] zetheroo http://paste.ubuntu.com/319011/ [02:38] Does anyone know what video editing software for Ubuntu actually works? [02:38] EntityReborn: Well, it sounds very choppy when I use it with OSS [02:38] hm [02:38] feyner: Are you a troll? [02:38] And in the backgound using Amarok for example [02:38] lol! [02:38] LaveliDeara, there is a precompiled package available for karmic. Just do "sudo apt-get install libevent-1.4-2" [02:38] But I never had those kind of issues... [02:38] isnt there alsa suport? [02:38] before [02:38] meh [02:39] sebsebseb, no I just enjoy listening to people who are clueless [02:39] anyway... sendmail? [02:39] I hate ALSA, it screws the other games too [02:39] ah [02:39] Like Assaultcube for example [02:39] insm0d: I'm still with jaunty [02:39] Supermatt1000: place a # in front of the last line and save the file ... then reboot the computer [02:39] HaguMe, ok. what other sound options do you have in its prefs? [02:39] :/ [02:39] feyner: you'll enjoy ITV Sport then [02:39] anyone here no xbox mod [02:39] kostkon: nas, oss, alsa, esd, pulse, sdl [02:39] Shii: take a look at OpenShot [02:39] master: don't do it, microsoft will kick you from live [02:39] IdleOne: thanks!! [02:39] master: What? [02:39] HaguMe, oh w8 [02:39] * lotec only runs linux from scratch [02:40] HaguMe, w8. choose sld [02:40] HaguMe, and install this package. w8 [02:40] kostkon: OK I'll try again [02:40] Supermatt1000: got it? [02:40] what is it? [02:40] HaguMe, sdl* [02:40] Shii: That's no reason not to do it [02:40] feyner: you need to come be l33t like me and use LFS [02:40] Thats fine .. been given this xbox froma friend [02:40] heh VirtualBox...running and installing XP now... [02:40] master, also don't do it if you have version 1.6, apparently [02:40] LaveliDeara, I'm not sure how to do it, but building from a sources deb is preferable to a straight tarball. creating a debian package settles all dependancy issues and lets you upgrade it [02:40] lotec, i hate lfs. [02:40] * sunray_major Praise Bob [02:40] HaguMe, choose sdl and close the app again [02:40] xrdodrx: tell that to the thousands of people now selling banned xboxes on craigslist :P [02:40] zetheroo i got it im going to restart my computer now [02:40] kostkon: OK I'll try [02:40] Supermatt1000: ok [02:40] HaguMe, no w8 [02:41] All is fine with my versions I got all the goodies etc but cant seem to transfer files [02:41] feyner: LFS Pwnds all it is Super Cool Hacker [02:41] zetheroo i will tell youy if it works [02:41] lotec, is there a newer version of LFS? I've done a couple builds but have always found them to be horribly out of date [02:41] HaguMe, install this package: libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio [02:41] Supermatt....Cross your fingers [02:41] Shii: I dont even use LIVE, it's far too expensive [02:41] true [02:41] insm0d: I had done it with checkinstall , but no results for now :/ [02:41] well i dont own an xbox so... [02:41] kostkon: Already installed that too [02:41] shii: lol people selling 'em off - best not buy a 2nd hand xbox for a while then eh? hadn't thought of that...but then again, hadn't ever considered buying an xbox either [02:41] Shii: To each their own, remember :) [02:41] insm0d i have no idea dude, i actually use Slackware [02:41] HaguMe, ok, try running zsnes now, without the padsp, just run it from the menu [02:42] slackware....that still going? [02:42] lotec, wait so you dont use ubantu? [02:42] lotec, so have I, but I didn't really like 13 [02:42] Entityreborn: the thing is has anyone here done it with a ubuntu laptop? lol [02:42] Wallace.....LOL [02:42] master, wait wut?

[02:42] HaguMe, w8 [02:42] OK [02:43] What I want to know is if we will ever gt blu Ray video [02:43] lotec: actually, according to the font of all wisdom, the latest release was 2 months ago [02:43] greezmunkey, slackware is fine if you have the paitence [02:43] insm0d: that is why i am on 12.2 [02:43] Entityreborn: im tryoing to put xbmc on a old xbox using ubuntu but cant seem to get the controller to work in my laptop [02:43] trying sorry [02:43] hm [02:43] lotec, haha, I couldn't get 12.2 to work on my box. I just started using freebsd instead [02:43] Wallace: it was 2 months ago, what does that have to do with it [02:43] I knowz nothing about xbox modding, besides a site I read up on [02:43] kostkon: I can't install w8 [02:43] hm, gnome's taskbar has a SMART Data icon that's telling me that my drive has "MANY BAD SECTORS" and it suggests I replace the drive. I just ran badblocks -vvv on the drive and it shows no badblocks... hmm. Why? [02:43] can't remember what it was [02:43] It doesn't appear in the repos [02:44] lotec: nothing...i just hadn't heard it mentioned for aeons....i kinda figured it had died a death [02:44] lol thanks though [02:44] I need help updating my codecs and such [02:44] HaguMe, what are you trying to install?

I deleted it off a microsd card connected to the computer and unplugged it before clearing the trash can, and now when I try to empty trash it fails to remove that file.

[02:48] Do I have to sudo it? [02:48] HaguMe, assaultcube seems to be using openal. thus, try this. w8 [02:48] insm0d: Freebsd is the only way to go [02:49] I've modyfied openal [02:49] Jetsetlemming2: Do you know where the trash folder is these days?

And I use lynx all the time in freebsd. [02:54] Crashed pidgin >_> === pez is now known as Guest11818 [02:54] kostkon: That did the job [02:54] HaguMe, what do you mean? [02:54] My login screen is xubuntu screen, is there any way to change it to the default ubuntu screen? [02:54] lotec: you mean lynx not linx ?? [02:54] kostkon: Weirdly it doesn't sound bad for now [02:54] Anyway, I have another question. Is there a way to sudo a program without navigating to it in the Terminal? Or force open a terminal at the current folder location? [02:54] Wallace no linx. pree browser to lynx [02:54] HaguMe, you're talking about assault? [02:55] lotec, BeOS probably isn't your thing, but check out Haiku if you want the insanity of an operating system in alpha development [02:55] kostkon: Yes [02:55] lotec: k....not heard of it myself [02:55] HaguMe, try to combine them now, e.g. open assault and amarok at the same time [02:55] anyone? [02:55] kostkon: Yes, it works just fine! [02:55] Jetsetlemming2: gksudo ? [02:55] how do i get vlc to interact with usb speakers? [02:55] Wallace: he means linx (its a re-implementation of lynx) [02:55] HaguMe, nice then :) [02:55] Wallace: one of the first browsers. pree 2.5 slackware [02:55] kostkon: But how did that make a change? [02:56] HaguMe, eh [02:56] unkmar: How do I use that? It's not showing up in a search in the software center [02:56] I have one question about GNU. WHEN IS HURD GOING TO GO STABLE? [02:56] Wallace: actually, its links - lynx is the older one [02:56] HaguMe, it just set sdl to be the audio device for the openal sound system [02:56] kostkon: How did that resolved the issue? I don't quite get how creating that file could resolve the problem... [02:57] insm0d: next time a mile thick ice sheet covers new york? [02:57] kostkon: Oh, got it.... [02:57] Jetsetlemming2: it is already there, use it just like sudo but it won't need a terminal for password entry. [02:57] insm0d: in all truthfull ness, i dont use linux except on servers. i work with it all day so i dont want to come home and look at it on a desktop. I am a Mac man [02:57] HaguMe, openal now instead of trying to send its sound directly to your audio device === vox_ is now known as vox [02:57] HaguMe, and that creates problems obviously [02:57] does anybody can help [02:57] kostkon: Very interesting, so If I want to change the device, the only thing to do is changing the echo statement? [02:57] HaguMe, it send its sound to sdl and sdl then sends it to pulseaudio. pulseaudio then sends it again to alsa and so on so on [02:58] HaguMe, yeah, or just edit the file ;) [02:58] linexh/lotec: so which came first, linx or lynx? I used to use lynx years and years ago...rarely use it tonight....ironically tried to use it earlier tonight, but not even installed on my system [02:58] Im having trouble networking a windows and ubuntu computer. I have samba setup. Testparm works. I verified samba is running. I can mount locally. I can ping the machines IP from windows but not the hostname [02:58] Hi all. How do I see which x clients are grabbing keys? [02:58] kostkon: But, making echo again shouldn't add a new line [02:58] or it should replace it? [02:59] HaguMe, eh you're right. then just edit the file. it's in your home folder [02:59] Wallace: i told you what i know [02:59] allo [02:59] how can I completely remove libevent ? [02:59] Sometimes ctrl-alt-n doesn't work in compiz. How can I fix that? [02:59] is anyone helpin? [02:59] i have a problem [02:59] lotec: k, was just asking...linexh said linx was a re-implementation of lynx, not the other way around [03:00] kostkon: called .openalrc ? [03:00] HaguMe, yeap [03:00] Im having trouble networking a windows and ubuntu computer. I have samba setup. Testparm works. I verified samba is running. I can mount locally. I can ping the machines IP from windows but not the hostname. Suggestions anyone? [03:00] kostkon: Very nice from your part, THANKS A LOT! [03:00] HaguMe, :) [03:00] Wallace: like i said not sure man. i just rember using it along time ago, before lynx [03:00] unkmar: Thanks, I figured it out. [03:01] matt__: can you browse via IP? like \\192.168.2.9 [03:01] kostkon: Thanks again, I'll enjoy this... bye! [03:01] HaguMe, bye! have a nice day [03:01] what is the proper syntax for installing: vlc-plugin-pulseaudio? [03:01] sudo apt get install vlc-plugin-pulseaudio? [03:01] krummlauf: ask away. I can't guarantee anyone will help... [03:01] is that correct? [03:02] You too, bytes! [03:02] krummlauf: you're missing a - [03:02] krummlauf: apt-get install vlc-plugin-pulseaudio [03:02] #ubuntu-cn [03:02] oooooooo [03:02] lol [03:02] ty [03:02] w0ls0n yes I can [03:02] krummlauf: yw :) [03:02] so much depends on the little - [03:02] krummlauf: indeed :) [03:02] #ubuntu-cn [03:02] hi [03:03] i stays it cant find it [03:03] now what do i do [03:03] ever since i installed 9.04, whenever i begin a big download, my wifi turns off, and then my ethernet stops responding [03:03] krummlauf: I think it's called vlc-plugin-pulse [03:04] krummlauf: at least there's such a package in the jaunty lists [03:04] w0ls0n I can get a password prompt if I do that, but I have scripts that connect to \\hostname [03:04] krummlauf: you're running which release? jaunty? karmic? [03:04] 9.04 [03:04] ... krummlauf: so "apt-get install vlc-plugin-pulse" (instead of vlc-plugin-pulseaudio) [03:04] yes im doing that right now [03:04] :) [03:05] you got it all figured out, haven't you? ;) [03:05] no :( [03:05] oh [03:05] :\ [03:05] they actually have lynx for windows. lol [03:05] having a heck of a time getting my usb-speakers to work with vlc [03:05] lotec: ... sure, why not? [03:05] id like to fully move to ubuntu, but there are still some nagging issues [03:05] mainly having to do with sound [03:06] krummlauf: I don't know about usb speakers, but in general I can recommend uninstalling pulseaudio [03:06] for instance i cant get my built-in microphone to work [03:06] krummlauf, install pulseaudio device chooser [03:06] krummlauf: it's a piece-o-poo [03:06] krummlauf, this will allow you to send any sound to your usb speakers easily [03:06] krummlauf: don't uninstall just remove it from /etc/init.d [03:06] i have setup the ability for a user to log in without a pssword, but they still have to type in their username, is there a way to have it auto enter the username and have a timeout for a passsword. i know this is the same as autologon... but autologon wont work in this situation [03:06] lynx is pretty good...but a lot of sites don't work too well with it nowadays....to much frames, script, and flash shit about [03:06] krummlauf: my only issue with moving was games. so I quite gaming. Well, mostly. [03:06] rhorse: why? [03:06] kostkon: ty, ill give it a shot [03:06] unkmar lol [03:06] why does pulse suck? [03:06] because it does [03:07] jonaskoelker: it'll default to alsa if it don't load [03:07] krummlauf, don't remove pulse. just install the choose and you should be fine [03:07] my "open with other application" menu is filled with duplicates. the "remove button" is blacked out, any ideas? [03:07] gerrh^^: sound stutters, sound dies with x, ... [03:07] kostkon: roger that, ty [03:07] krummlauf: I got unreal tournament installed in my ubuntu so I am good. [03:07] w0ls0n any ideas buddy? [03:07] krummlauf, as long as your speakers are recognised by your system. you can check by giving: "aplay -l" in a terminal [03:07] unkmar: it works guuud? [03:07] rhorse: is there a compelling argument to keep giving it disk space? [03:07] ever since i installed 9.04, whenever i begin a big download, my wifi turns off, and then my ethernet stops responding [03:08] haven't had those issues yet. on my machine general performance is more of a problem [03:08] freaky[t]: could you explain better what's the problem? I think that ns-cert-type server is not needed [03:08] i have setup the ability for a user to log in without a pssword, but they still have to type in their username, is there a way to have it auto enter the username and have a timeout for a passsword. i know this is the same as autologon... but autologon wont work in this situation\ [03:08] Helsinkiii: sounds interesting... have you experimented to find out where the difference between big and non-big is? [03:08] epinky that has nothing to do with the problem. i cant ping the server from the client and vice versa [03:08] jonaskoelker: nah [03:08] epinky with a windows client but with a linux client everything works [03:08] Is there a way to do something like the following that may work? $ cd smb://vap-laptop/csis-48/150 [03:08] Helsinkiii: it sounds strange that it should be determined by the size of the file you're downloading [03:09] what file can i check to see what program are using which ports? [03:09] vap: apt-cache search smb mount [03:09] vap: or smb fuse [03:09] jonajonaskoelker: either a graphically intensive webpage, a download from the repositories, or a torrent [03:09] krummlauf: Won't Internet play. I haven't bothered to try and fix that. [03:09] vap: and search google [03:09] Hello [03:09] jenia: you can run netstat [03:09] Thanks jonaskoelker [03:10] what if i want to assign a program another port? [03:10] vap: yw :) [03:10] Techie__: there is a setting where you click the username instead of type it in. providing a userlist. [03:10] jenia: that's program-specific [03:10] jenia: I take it we're talking about tcp/udp ports here? [03:10] isnt there a file in /etc that controls all that? [03:10] can anyone help me with what seems to be a problem with ssh ? [03:10] yes [03:10] jenia: you may be thinking of /etc/services [03:10] unkmar, not quite what im after, im after an alternative way to autologin, it needs to automatically select the user and then wait for the password to timeout [03:11] anybody know when there'll be Chrome for Ubuntu? [03:11] jenia: that's just a name-number mapping [03:11] krummlauf: There was a little tweaking involved for me to get it working well. But it is great now. Can't pause and walk away from it or my system crashes. [03:11] mike77pl: there's a PPA [03:11] yea, so what is the name of that file? [03:11] mike77pl: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main [03:11] mike77pl: that's my sources.list line; the same for deb-src, fwiw [03:11] so I simply stop it if I get interrupted. Not friendly to unexpected interruptions. :( [03:11] thanks :) [03:11] mike77pl: yw :) [03:11] jonaskoelker:any ideas/?? [03:12] unkmar: thats not good [03:12] but now you dont get random virii! [03:12] upload a bunch of files of different sizes to pastebin/fileplanet/etc., then try downloading them [03:12] hurray!!! [03:12] anyone here have experience with svn over ssh? [03:12] Helsinkiii: if you're only downloading "big files" with, say, the bittorrent protocol, or with a specific program, that might be a clue [03:12] anton_home: only via sshfs [03:12] Techie__: you can do that too. Been awhile since set that up. I think that is autologin but with a timeout set. [03:12] when i try to downgrade rsync to 2.6.9 and I "dpkg -i rsync.2.6.9.deb" I get : http://paste.ubuntu.com/319024/ [03:13] anton_home: but I think you just say svn+ssh://... [03:13] jonaskoelker:like i said, it could also be a graphically intensive site like madatoms.com [03:13] but it doesn't happen all the time [03:13] correct, when I do that however svn kicks back an error [03:13] anton_home: or do you mean running/configuring a repository? [03:13] anton_home: paste(bin) the error... [03:13] krummlauf: I didn't tend to get virii anyway. I just don't have to pay for software or a monopoly anymore. [03:13] svn: Network connection closed unexpectedly [03:13] unkmar, therein lies the problem, already been down that path and that wont work as its the root account that im setting it up for, and dont bother lecturing me about security [03:13] Does anybody know if I can download Windows Movie Maker and run it in Wine? [03:13] anton_home: can you ssh into the host normally? [03:13] freaky[t]: what version are you using on client and what on server? [03:14] MrSiebel: try looking in wine's appdb [03:14] MrSiebel: or try doing it. It'll tell you whether it works :) [03:14] and I can actually fix or alter some programs if need be. Plus finding software is actually easier. Well, what is available is easier to find. [03:14] MrSiebel: probably cant dl it [03:14] epinky 2.1 on server and 2.0.9 on client but there is no openvpn gui für 2.1 [03:14] jonaskoelker, I guess I never thought of how. This is a svn repo that I simply have access to, it sits at savanah [03:14] anton_home: Me, svn. No. ssh, yes. [03:14] MrSiebel, sudo apt-get install openmovieeditor [03:14] i def did it for peace of mind, i wasnt running any anti-virii [03:14] Helsinkiii: I'm not coming up with any great ideas... [03:14] anton_home: what's the repo url? [03:14] and in spite of good web-browsing and overall downloading habits still ran across virii, i had enough [03:15] epinky well there is but ... i cant install it says tap driver not compatible and wont let me use it [03:15] svn.savannah.nongnu.org [03:15] well I suppose there is more than that [03:15] svn.savannah.nongnu.org/paparazzi/paparazzi3/trunk is the full address to the repo [03:15] im not paying the hacker mafia protection money from their virii no more! [03:15] anyone in here have experience boosting performance in 9.10 on a lenovo s12? give me a holler. [03:15] http://img.thedailywtf.com/images/200910/err1/winnar.png [03:15] har [03:15] anton_home: hmm... try checking out a different repo on savannah [03:16] How do I check wine's appdb? [03:16] jonaskoelker:thanks for your help [03:16] MrSiebel: go to their webpage, input something in a search field [03:16] Helsinkiii: yw :) [03:16] jonaskoelker:someone told me to decrease size of pakcet transfers by my router but that doesn't work [03:16] jonaskoelker:packet* [03:16] Ahh [03:16] jonaskoelker, over ssh? because if I do just a standard svn on this repo it works fine [03:16] its only over ssh that it fails [03:16] I have found a thing to try "Disabling ACPID in System>Admin>Services" but those menus dont exist for me, any idea where to find them? [03:16] Techie__: Hmm, I never tried autologin as root at all. Never felt the need. [03:17] DanaG: wtf... 26 years? [03:17] unkmar, autologin via ordinary gdm doesnt work, hence why im looking for a huge workaround [03:17] http://thedailywtf.com/Comments/Sewing-with-Calculus.aspx === thr0wdowN is now known as sysErroR [03:17] another suggestion was "echo mem > /sys/power/state" which doesnt work under sudo [03:17] anton_home: "a standard svn"? [03:17] anton_home: what command? [03:17] I am trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 on my Toshiba A135-S2266 Satellite laptop. When it comes to the menu to type my name I have no keyboard or mouse. I've been working on this all day and cannot figure out a solution. I hooked up an external keyboard and mouse to get install. Can anyone help me with this? [03:18] not over ssh [03:18] freaky[t]: I thinks it's incompatibility of version problem, TOPOLOGY is being misundesrtood by 2.0.9 client, can you try to downgrade/upgrade one of the two? [03:18] anonymous login [03:18] Can anyone recommend a better way to manage my ssh connections? I have been just using ssh in terminal to connect to my servers but am searching for a better alternative. Preferably with bookmark functionality. [03:18] ace_: ouch, sounds difficult. It works when you connect the externals? [03:18] epinky not really [03:18] mrbnet: look at ~/.ssh/config [03:18] mrbnet: man ssh_config [03:18] mrbnet: it's what I use [03:19] snausages, yes [03:19] mrbnet: so I can "ssh university", "ssh home", etc. [03:19] How do you disable sharing on a folder + subfolders? [03:19] anyone have an idea how to run echo mem > /sys/power/state with sudo? [03:19] ace_: if you do lsusb in the terminal, does it show your built in gear? [03:19] anton_home: might it be ssh keys not set up right? [03:19] jonaskoelker: I get it. Thank you [03:19] anyone knowledgable about the brub that comes with 9.10? i've moved my / and swap intoan lvm and got it booting and now, with no changes to the system, it doesn;t recognize the LVM partition [03:19] mrbnet: yw :) [03:19] snausages, I'll check [03:20] jonaskoelker, that is possible, I wouldnt expect it to kick back a network error [03:20] kovacsleeve: sharing? [03:20] I would have expected it to give an authentication error [03:20] jonaskoelker: I have a folder I can see on the network that I dont want to anymore [03:20] anton_home: makes sense... [03:20] snausages, No [03:20] what's the best way to backup my fs image? [03:20] kovacsleeve: what are you using to share it with? [03:20] Ubuntu [03:20] eatloaf: dd? [03:20] epinky :( [03:20] Has anyone else had issues with the codec finder saying there are no plugins which provide xvid or divx? [03:21] kovacsleeve: well, is it samba, nfs, ...? [03:21] how can I remove ALL versions and ALL references to libevent from my system ? [03:21] dale_: echo mem > sudo tee /sys/power/state [03:21] how do i get gspca v2.7.0 [03:21] kovacsleeve: s/is it/are you running/ === Zerokun is now known as xOrphenochx [03:21] There anyway i could setup a mobile car for internet on a ubuntu server [03:21] I tried to install chrome from: http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/c/chromium-browser/ but I got this error: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: chromium-browser (= 4.0.248.0~svn20091114r32003-0ubuntu1~ucd1~karmic) [03:21] freaky[t]: not even on VM ? [03:21] thanks rww [03:21] jonaskoelker: I think originally I turned on folder sharing in Nautiulus on that folder, but now it doesnt show as shared but I can still see it from another computer [03:21] jonaskoelker: dd ? [03:21] epinky what VM? [03:21] dale_: alternatively, "sudo -i" to get to an administrative prompt, and then "echo mem > /sys/power/state" would work. [03:21] I just installed ubuntu 9.10 and I can't install any programm. the install button is just disabled [03:21] eatloaf: ... it's a program [03:22] snausages, everything worked great in 9.04 [03:22] eatloaf: it copies bytes :) [03:22] jonaskoelker: I just right click, then properties, then sharing [03:22] Anyone in here have experience boosting performance in 9.10 on a Lenovo S12? Specs: http://pastebin.com/m76343e87 [03:22] freaky[t]: dunno, maybe VirtualBox :) [03:22] cheers, I was trying su [03:22] epinky i have nothing like that ... [03:22] Ironicus: try sudo apt-get update first [03:22] anyway, need to reboot, thanks [03:22] dale_: you're welcome :) [03:23] I keep trying to play my video files, I've tried installing 80 different codec packages for divx/xvid and none work. [03:23] gstreamer kinda sucks [03:23] :\ [03:23] kovacsleeve: run net usershare list [03:23] jar: really? I'm kind of blown away by how much it plays [03:23] jar: tried mplayer? [03:23] jar try mplayer ? also ubuntu-restreted extras [03:23] jar, did you install the w32codecs, if you have a 32bit system [03:23] jonaskoelker: Does that show some kind of output? [03:23] have already watched a few xvid thingies on it, worked fine [03:23] kostkon, yes [03:23] kovacsleeve: it should [03:23] epinky no i cant ... i have only 2.1 on the server via apt and only 2.0.9 on client because the 2.1 version is beta and the tap adapter driver cant be used [03:23] jar, ok === matthew is now known as Guest48185 [03:23] It has to be supported by gstreamer for PiTiVi [03:24] SnakDoc, jar: that's spelled ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:24] snausages, any ideas on the keyboard and mouse [03:24] jonaskoelker, already installed that [03:24] I installed 9.10 on top of a clean install of XP Pro. Is it possible to do away with the Windows partition, and still be able to boot ok? === Guest48185 is now known as Supermatt1000 [03:24] jonaskoelker, can you tell me if anything with the 9.10 installation could block something in ssh [03:24] jar: which, u-r-e? [03:24] or where I would look [03:24] ace_: no, sorry [03:24] jar: I use multiple viewers. Some videos won't play in one but will in another. [03:24] jonaskoelker, Yes. [03:24] anton_home: no idea, I run jaunty [03:24] zetheroo private message me again [03:24] not even vlc appears to work on everything for me. [03:24] jonaskoelker: Is there a way to just turn off sharing on that folder? [03:24] unkmar, I need it to be supported by gstreamer so I can edit the videos. [03:24] jar: did you try mplayer? [03:24] I guess I'll try again in the morning [03:25] kovacsleeve: I'd guess "net usershared delete [the name of the share]" [03:25] SnakDoc, I just updated it and it still do the samething [03:25] how do I find out what compiler my kernel was compiled with ? [03:25] jonaskoelker, I'm not trying to play the videos. I'm trying to edit them and the only decent video editors are gstreamer based. [03:25] freaky[t]: then, sorry and good luck [03:25] jar: ah [03:25] francois: uname -a [03:25] jar: no clue then [03:25] epinky thanks [03:25] jar: best of luck :) === clusty_ is now known as clusty [03:25] francois: ....might tell you [03:25] jar: well, maybe; ISTR gstreamer being able to run mplayer's codecs [03:25] jonaskoelker, Apparently trying to gstreamer to play anything but ogg files is a lost cause. [03:25] jar, and you are sure the vids are xvid/divx ones? [03:25] SnakDoc, Ironicus: Try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [03:25] francois: hmm...or maybe not [03:25] anyone know anything about my question for the mode [03:25] jar: tried gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg [03:26] Wallace: it doesn't....i lists the kernel version [03:26] kostkon, Absolutely. [03:26] Does anyone know how to disable sharing on a folder? [03:26] jonaskoelker, Yup. [03:26] trying to edit things that are encoded with distribution codecs just sucks bawls [03:26] modem * [03:26] jar, ok [03:26] I simply can't use the window of my apt-get because my install button is disabled [03:26] I am using ther 9.10 [03:26] jar: oh well, out of ideas then. Best of luck :) [03:26] Ironicus: apt-get is a command [03:26] francois: yeah, i think it sometimes tells you the compiler [03:26] jonaskoelker, you may be on to something with the keys, I messed up generating new keys [03:26] jonaskoelker, Yeah I'm out of ideas and am sick of having to use VLC :( [03:26] francois: but not always [03:26] ok [03:26] kovacsleeve: did the "net usershare list" command output anything? [03:26] francois: why do you need to know anyway? [03:27] jonaskoelker: No output :/ [03:27] Well, I can't install anytthing [03:27] anton_home: so it works now? [03:27] jar good, bad, ugly gstreamer is installed? [03:27] Wallace: I've been trying to run a script, it says my kernel and current compilers are mismatched, === Fly is now known as Guest84624 [03:27] Ironicus: did you run command ? [03:27] Wallace: even though they're both 4.4 i think [03:27] yes [03:27] rhorse, yup [03:27] ah it works now [03:27] strange [03:28] kovacsleeve: what about 'ps -Fe | grep smb' [03:28] kovacsleeve: do you share other folders? [03:28] jonaskoelker, I have to generate a new key, and wait for savanah to update it [03:28] Ironicus: so command fixed it ? [03:28] so I wont know for while [03:28] anton_home: ah [03:28] w32codecs installed? jar? [03:28] francois: what script? it may be that the kernel headers you compiler are using do not match the kernel [03:28] Hi, I have LinuxMint but no sound in Frozen Bubble. Help pls [03:28] goer: isn't that a question for #mint? [03:28] goer: or #linuxmint, etc.? [03:28] rhorse, Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package. [03:29] Wallace: its qc-messenger, a script ot install drivers for my quickcam, webcam [03:29] should normal desktop users of ubuntu enable the iptables firewall? [03:29] SnakDoc: I didn't see your mode question. [03:29] Another thing. I had vista on my laptop and I wanted to install ubuntu on the other partition, but I think I did an mistake since I can't boot my vista anymore. I can access the harddrive with my ubuntu. Is it possible to get my vista working again? [03:29] sure....IF someone could help, whichthey cant [03:29] Wallace: how do I check to make sure my headers are matching ? [03:29] jar, you need to add the medibuntu repo [03:29] !medibuntu | jar [03:29] how can I remove ALL versions and ALL references to libevent from my system ?? [03:29] jar: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:29] kostkon, thanks :) [03:29] SnakDoc, I did the command and it didn't work directly after,, but yes it works now [03:29] infid: I think normal users should use ufw [03:29] infid: rather than writing their own iptables rule set :) [03:29] francois: i'm not entirely sure tbh....have you tried the hardware updater of the preferences or administration menu? [03:29] unkmar: modem sry was a typo is there anyway to use a wireless broadband card with ubuntu server ? [03:30] so, would someone here help me pls? [03:30] Ironicus: if you didn't accidently wipeout the vista partition. [03:30] jonaskoelker right but i'm saying should normal users even have the firewall enabled at all, since ubuntu comes with all ports not open on the public interface [03:30] LaveliDeara: "apt-get remove --purge libevent" would be a good place to start [03:30] unkmar: also card works fine in gui just have to add and tell it to connect [03:30] Wallace: my camera is one that isn't supported out of the box [03:30] infid: ah, that's a fair point. Not sure [03:30] thanks jonaskoelker [03:30] Wallace: only supported by that qc-messenger driver, and I Can't compile it [03:30] imagination seems to work as good as Windows Movie Maker [03:31] LaveliDeara: sudo apt-get libevent; sudo apt-get autoremove; ??? [03:31] infid: it all depends on what you run on your box [03:31] francois: yes, but sometimes it will ask you if you want to install non-open source drivers....worth a try if you haven't already [03:31] jar libdvdcss installed? [03:31] perhaps someone here has had same problem and fixed it? [03:31] I still can see the vista leader [03:31] rhorse, why would libdvdcss be needed for xvid files...? [03:31] unkmar: isn't there some apt command missing in "apt-get libevent"? [03:31] loader* [03:31] Wallace: it doesnt....nothing shows up for webcams [03:31] .çkojh [03:31] ll [03:31] SnakDoc: yeah, sure. I've done lots of command line based wifi. [03:31] goer: do you have sound in other sdl applications? [03:32] goer: what audio driver does sdl use? does the sound work for other sdl audio drivers? [03:32] http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/space/11/13/water.moon.nasa/index.html [03:32] oop sorry [03:32] unkmar: through a wireless company card not normal wifi [03:32] francois: hmm, i'm not really sure then...but I suspect that it's not a problem with ubuntu if you have a standard distro....I would expect it to work out of the box tbh [03:32] What directory are third party programs usually compiled in on ubuntu? [03:32] In my Admin - sound the only one that works is OSS [03:32] jar is it installed? [03:32] I have a question... [03:32] jonaskoelker: I thought I stated "apt-get remove libevent"? [03:32] When using the terminal my top arrow doesn't bring me the last command I typed anymore. It just spits out a bunch of gybberish characters. How can I get it to do what it used to? [03:33] how do I list which X clients have keyboard grabs going? [03:33] unkmar: ah, fair 'nuff :) [03:33] rhorse, im installing w32codecs atm but im only getting 16kb/s from the repo [03:33] brkln--: does "reset" fix it? [03:33] yestreday I installed Gnome alsa mixer [03:33] jonaskoelker: I did it, but it removed only libevent-1.4 and there still is http://pastie.org/699289 [03:33] ok, and do libdvdcss2, also ;) [03:33] SnakDoc: I haven't done any of those yet. Costs money I don't have. :( Hopefully someone else can help. [03:33] francois: you could try downloading kernel sources...if not already installed...but i'm clutching at straws here really [03:34] Wallace: yeah i know, my camera is actually turned on, but i can't get it working at all [03:34] jonaskoelker: No, unfortnately not. [03:34] jonaskoelker: how can i check if others are using sdl pls? [03:34] Do someone undetstand my problem? [03:34] unkmar: ok its my only choice for broadband :( [03:34] Wallace: I have the kernel sources already installed, I always have those on hand [03:34] LaveliDeara: what does aptitude search '~ilibevent' say? [03:34] goer: just pick another app you know to use SDL [03:34] (I'm new top linux) [03:34] goer: supertux and wesnoth are [03:35] anyone know if you can customize the notify-osd? [03:35] Mmm....I would have to install them then [03:35] goer: yes [03:35] goer: is that a problem? [03:36] I'll install the smallest one for testing then... [03:36] francois: i would think then that it's probably the driver / source you have isn't ubuntu friendly. maybe search for a different version, or if that fails, you're probably going to end up hacking about with the scripts yourself...but again, i'm really guessing here [03:36] what is the /etc/protocols file for? [03:36] hm [03:36] it still doesnt work [03:36] grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr [03:36] jonaskoelker: I'm guessing I have to change the terminal type? Any idea as to what? Or how I accidently changed it? [03:36] goer: you can install noiz2sa, it's pretty small and uses SDL [03:36] jonaskoelker: output is empty [03:36] brkln--: which terminal are you running? [03:37] LaveliDeara: hmm... [03:37] i just installed ubuntu 9.10, and it cannot see my wireless card. the card is a broadcom 802.11g card. my system is a hp zv6100. could somebody assist me, please? [03:37] LaveliDeara: dlocate -S usr/lib/libevent.so [03:37] jonaskoelker: I'm just SSH'ing to my box via Putty... [03:37] Wallace: I looked everywhere to get this webcam working, since its a 08f5, its pretty rare and often rarely supported, what a pain :( [03:37] brkln--: then it's probably a putty configuration issue, and if so I don't know about it. [03:38] My vista loader is on /dev/sda1 is it why it doesn'T work? [03:38] jonaskoelker: ok, in Synaptic am installing Supertux [03:38] jacob_: that isn't specific enough. "lspci | grep road" [03:38] goer: cool :) [03:38] ironicus: what *does* happen when you try to boot it? [03:38] Wait....will try noiz2sa [03:38] jonaskoelker: output is empty [03:39] jonaskoelker: I guess it isn't a Putty issue, I'm logging in as another user and the top arrow works to give me back my last command... so weird. === Nick_Meister_Lap is now known as Nick_Meister [03:39] brkln--: yeah okay...

[03:40] LaveliDeara: (dpkg -l libevent1) [03:40] jonaskoelker: no [03:40] it says there are no proprietary drivers, and there are no drivers listed in the box [03:40] LaveliDeara: sounds like a bug then [03:40] ironicus: partition 3? i though you said it was hda1 [03:40] Nick_Meister: right-click, Open with Other Application, pick an application. [03:40] krummlauf, what prob? [03:41] hmm :/ [03:41] rww, yes but every time i do that it does not stick for some reason [03:41] kostkon: well...im trying to set up skype and mic check doesnt work, i used the native mic program, that didnt work [03:41] i have to pick that application every time [03:41] yes when I see boot session it tells me "vista loader (/dev/sda1/) [03:41] sooooo [03:41] * krummlauf shrugs [03:41] krummlauf, check your hardware volumes levels. right click on your speaker and open volume control or it something similar [03:42] Nick_Meister: click box do this for now on for files of this type, yada yada... [03:42] krummlauf, or alternatively, in a terminal give: alsamixer -Dhw [03:42] rhorse, i do not have such a box [03:42] kostkon what does that do? [03:42] ironicus: hmm, not sure i'd try messing about with the bootable flag, and maybe the partition boot record, but i'd be gambling on screwing it up totally [03:42] ok its opened [03:43] krummlauf, shows you any hardware volumes that your card may have or let's say any levels that the alsa driver for your card provides [03:43] Nick_Meister: nothing that says use as default for this type? [03:43] well, theyre all there [03:43] krummlauf, check if everything is up, especially your inputs, i.e. mic, etc etc [03:43] rhorse, yes that is the problem :( [03:43] mic is down [03:43] but thats because it was feeding back [03:44] ironicus: what is on partition 3, out of interest? [03:44] hello [03:44] krummlauf, eh? feeding back? [03:44] causing my speakers to be noisy [03:44] * krummlauf sighs audibly [03:45] Nick_Meister: that sounds strange. What file? [03:45] this is the last thing i need to fix [03:45] kostkon, there are no drivers available there. it also says there are no proprietary drivers in use on the system [03:45] krummlauf, ok. leave this down. it's an output. check the others [03:45] last last last last last thing [03:45] rhorse, its a mathematica file [03:45] theyre all up excet for front mic boost [03:45] jacob_, ok [03:45] krummlauf, put it app, why not [03:45] does it load when you click on it Nick_Meister? [03:46] im starting to think it's a lost cause trying to work with gstreamer. [03:46] rhorse, no thats why i want to find out how to set mathematica as the default application, i have to open with , it every time [03:46] krummlauf, also, in the pulseaudio volume control, don;t forget to set the default input device, in the input devices tab [03:46] jonaskoelker: No sound with Noiz2 [03:46] rhorse, is there any way to do some terminal magic? [03:46] uhhhh [03:46] :( [03:46] I didn't have annything important on my vista partition [03:46] I think I will reinstall both [03:46] ok hang on [03:47] krummlauf, right click on the device you want and enable the default option [03:47] so padevchooser works with this as well? [03:47] ironicus: if you have nothing to lose, then that may turn out easier [03:47] krummlauf, padevchooser will put an icon in your tray. left click on it and select volume control [03:47] I can get my important files from my ubuntu [03:48] ironicus: backup, backup, and backup again....it's the only way [03:48] hello all [03:48] I know [03:48] :) [03:48] kostkon, yes im messing around with it some more [03:48] krummlauf, ok [03:48] learn't that the hard way many times === Mizuho_chan is now known as AliceMargatroid [03:48] ubuntu sucks [03:48] can anyone tell me hot to join the LinuxMint chanel?

[04:13] cd bash [04:13] bazhang: i think he wan't to preserve the current wubi setup in its entirety, rather than simply re-install [04:13] drrrr [04:13] rhorse, where do i put that in [04:13] greezmunkey, otherwise you will need to do a lot of disk resizing and partitioning, that is not so simple for newer users [04:13] bazhang: thanks. missing that one. btw, pogo is an online browser games community. i.e. Spades/ and hearts [04:14] kostkon: and that cmd is? sudo update java-alternatives ?

[04:19] bazhang: ya, i've triead about them all. except amarok [04:19] webbb82: you have to join a channel [04:19] hi there..any one know how to fix this?"alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device" [04:19] greezmunkey, I will search if scenario two is what you wish to attempt: keep in mind it is much more time consuming [04:20] i used palimpsest Disk Utility (System/Admin/Disk Utiliy) to delete stuff on my SD card. Now what type of partition shoudl I put on it so that it's usable on my ubuntu comp and my digital camera? Should I use FAT? [04:20] greezmunkey, it is wubi not wabi [04:20] bazhang, don't waste your time! Thanks for the pointer! At lease I know that it's possible :) [04:20] Or "empty"? [04:20] anyone here using 9.10 with xgl running ? [04:20] hi there..any one know how to fix this?"alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device" [04:20] bazhang, I'll check into... [04:20] greezmunkey, not a waste of time if you need the help [04:20] bazhang, I may be in need of it...! [04:21] ronald1: is your soundcard configured? [04:21] yellowrooster: if the card is empty then it's probably safest to get your camera to format it...that way it will definitely work in your camera [04:21] ok im trying to run gnome shell i just installed it but when i do ~/gnome-shell/source/gnome-shell/src/gnome-shell --replace it says command not fouind but if i do gnome-shell --replace it works what am i doing wrong [04:21] ronald1, are you trying to run alsamixer? [04:21] bazhang, Besides, it's a learning experience for me, thanks man. [04:21] Wallace: i tried. I put the no-name (generic) SDHC card into my digital camera but camera gives error message [04:21] ronald1, or the volume control in 9.04? [04:22] kostkon: they have no alsamixer in my volume control [04:22] ronald1: man alsactl in a terminal [04:22] yellowrooster: okay, well if there's nothing valuable on the sd card, then simply try formatting it as FAT...if it doesn't work, try something else [04:23] * greezmunkey is mystified by VirtualBox networking but will figure it out. [04:23] Wallace: the error message given by my Panasonic Digital Cam is "Memory Card Error. Please check the Card." And I've just bought the card. [04:23] yellowrooster: not all cameras support SDHC [04:23] ronald1: alsactl names will list devices [04:24] Billiard: i thought my camera (Panasonic DMC-LZ3) supports sdhc, but i'll check now [04:24] rhorse: how? [04:24] if i am using fstab do i manually need to create the mount folders in /media ? [04:24] i get this error "fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/data1: No such file or directory [04:24] " [04:24] nvme: i believe so [04:24] Billiard: it looks like my camera only reads SD, and not SDHC. [04:24] guess there's no one here that uses or likes xgl since no one is giving me an awnser :) [04:24] rhorse: alsactl: Unknown command 'names'... [04:25] yellowrooster: you may be able to create a smaller parition and the camera may use it [04:25] Wallace, do i have to do that every time i boot then ? [04:25] ronald1: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/139175-solved-alsamixer-function-snd_ctl_open-failed.html [04:25] yellowrooster: but then the camera cant use the whole card [04:25] Billiard: well, i want to use the SDHC card on my netbook, which I'm sure accepts SDHC. [04:25] nvme: if you don't delete the directory, it should just stay there when you u(n)mount / reboot === rww_ is now known as rww [04:25] yellowrooster: format it in gparted [04:26] Billiard: is gparted better than palimpsest disk utility? [04:26] anyone around that can help troubleshoot NX (nomachine)? [04:26] yellowrooster: i think the disk utility is more of a basic one, you can use watever you want [04:27] hey guys. does anyone know of a way to complete turn off mouse acceleration in ubuntu? not just put it at the lowest setting. but i mean turn off completely. there is a way in windows to do that. is there a way in ubuntu as well ? [04:27] legend2440: aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found... [04:27] i formatted the SDHC card in Palimpsest disk utility as FAT.

[04:28] yellowrooster: no permissions, file size limit [04:28] huh, billiard? [04:28] there is a file size limit if I use FAT or if i use linux type? [04:29] jacob_: yeppers. link coming [04:29] mahngiel, any idea what happend to the xgl project? why it can be found in synaptic anymore ?

[04:30] mostly small files (mp3s, documents, photos) [04:30] rhorse: then after? [04:30] nvme: hmm, shouldn't matter under ubuntu I think [04:30] billiard also mentioned "permissions". can anyone please expand on this [04:30] mahngiel, its a window effect thing.. u move windows like jelly.. move desktops like a cube all in 3d.. change the transparency in any window [04:30] that sort of stuff [04:30] Wallace, ah i got it i just need to put user instead of nouser [04:31] yellowrooster: you wont be able to allow or restrict users to different files folders, only the whole card [04:31] kotsko u there boy? [04:31] yast: sounds neat [04:31] yellowrooster: use FAT32 if your other uses support it, as IIRC, FAT16 is limited to 64k files (number of, not size of) [04:31] Billiard: oh, ok. the SDHC card is only for me. so i don't need customized permissions [04:31] check youtube... xgl [04:31] <_Ray_> Hey, question. How would I make a multi-part .rar on Linux? I know I can .tar and split, but I want this to be able to be extracted with 1 click on Windows. [04:31] nvme: sounds about right [04:31] u'll love it if u havent seen it yet [04:32] yellowrooster: yea use fat32 over fat16 [04:32] Wallace: ok.

[05:18] Salvad: man is a great command type 'man man' [05:19] on the command line.. [05:19] Drikan: ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa [05:19] But, sometimes I need to have an HTML of the documentation.

[05:22] om26er: the problem is it doesn't see the package anywhere [05:22] Fraxtil: /var/log/X* [05:23] What does it do the man2html, cowbud? [05:23] like Xorg.log [05:23] Salvad: it takes a regular manpage and makes it html [05:23] most man pages are online though [05:23] How can I burn a .avi into something that DVD players will read?

[05:25] hello. Ive just installed ubuntu 9.10 via a cd i got in the mail. I installed it as the only operating system by using the erase option in the installation process. When i restart there is an error message that says a win 32 system file is corrupt and then wont start up ubuntu or windows. Any ideas would be much appreciated [05:25] jar: tell me you are not trying wmv? [05:25] Fraxtil: what program? [05:25] any idea why sudo mplayer would play sound, but regular mplayer wouldn't? [05:25] om26er, Nope - xvid and divx videos. [05:25] cowbud: stepmania [05:26] om26er, I've installed pretty much every gstreamer package in the repos.

[05:27] om26er, My .mp4 files play fine. [05:27] doushin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [05:27] cowbud: it works fine on windows, and it didn't have graphics errors with 3.9 (i'm now using 4.0 alpha from cvs), so I'm pretty sure the hardware is ok [05:27] Fraxtil: your best bet is to look for info for that app in particular if you are using compiz it might not like that.. [05:28] windows != linux :) [05:28] jar: did you torrented the video you trying to play [05:28] ubuntu_ Heh, you get more than I do right now - wish I could help ya, but goin through the same thing myself [05:28] hm, I guess I could try disabling compiz and running it [05:28] om26er, It's not one video.. It's VERY many. [05:28] Rhorse: That is where I went, and I followed the instructions of the blog it took me too. No dice [05:28] could someone give me a hand with the commands needed to fix a "gpg error no pubkey" [05:28] om26er, I have 100+ GB of files that will not play. VLC plays them fine but I need them to open with gstreamer based apps. [05:28] jar: personally I use VLC :) but does totem output anything when you try to run it on the command line with the file? [05:28] Where I have to go to change the langguage of my kleyboard lol [05:28] cowbud, I need gstreamer to support them. [05:28] How great is 9.10? I havn't used it yet.

[05:30] jar: i'd still run mplayer or vlc on it and see how they identify the file [05:30] That's a completely different codec. [05:30] Well when it was lilo and ext2 and simple - I was good to go -- then something terrible happened :( I got old? [05:30] cowbud, They identify fine.

[05:46] <[-jon-]_> Its not letting me drag a window past a certain point on my monitor. Any ideas? [05:46] MSK: in the synaptic select the paackage for install and then go to file and there click on something like script [05:46] Blue1: Should he boot into his HDD? [05:46] <_Hammer_> shannas, well if you know the file name that it says it's corrupt you can try and find it on the net and then replace it while your in ubuntu it should mount ntfs as r/w [05:46] MSK: a file will be created and when you execute it the packages will be downloaded [05:46] jar: and privchat out :) [05:47] Arsin: those errors won't go away until windows fixes them....

Can i format the drive and then install ubuntu?

What can I do to get the partitioner to "wake up" on this? [05:52] Arsin: windows gets corrupted during the re-sizing -- usually you just boot into windows and windows fixes it -- has he tried re-running grub-update? [05:52] MSK: i would have downloaded it for you but am not on my netbook atm [05:53] has anyone had any luck getting Octoshape to work?

[06:04] afk [06:04] i upgraded to karmic and i see grhapical login manager. i think it's 'slim'. i want to login to text, as i had before. i run rcconf and uncheck slim but i still see it when i logout. any ideas? [06:04] hello everyone [06:04] yast: I know lifehacker did a post on this fairly recently, go to http://www.lifehacker.com and search for it (manually you'll only need to go back a dy or 2) [06:05] <[-jon-]_> it won't let me drag a window OFF of my primary display (the left hand edge wont go off), is this intentional? [06:05] lo [06:05] yast: at least for their dual-booting Win7/Karmic post, you might have to search for GRUB for their grub-config post [06:06] if I have 2 user accounts and one of them gets messed up, will the other also get messed up or the whole system ? [06:06] something like lilo would be nice :p [06:06] This is likely a naive question, but is there a username and pass for the karmic livecd? It just boots to the login screen and won't go past. [06:07] Anyone have PPTP vpn to WIN XP running in VirtualBox? Is bridging that way to do it? [06:07] ANYONE ?

[06:10] well well well [06:10] fitus: no [06:10] fitus: what do u mean something wrong? [06:11] hey all, i just installed karmic on this laptop. it has a broadcom wireless card that worked fine in jaunty. the "hardware drivers" section finds (what i think is) the proper driver, but it won't let me activate it. i hit the button, and nothing happens... [06:11] ok Im starting to like now [06:11] grub2 theming [06:11] ie. if I remove a program or by mistake I do something wrong like if I delete a folder in account 1 [06:11] themes for grub2 sound nice [06:11] fitus:if you mess up the system then yes, what best to do is put your home dir on a separate partition so that if you damage the system you can reinstall without losing anything [06:11] what's up with #ubuntu, keeps shutting down / lagging on me? [06:12] fitus: well you can usually retrieve that from the trash can - but generally unless your doing something specifically cross account as root - no [06:12] bazhang: you here man? [06:12] greezmunkey: you ping is hig [06:12] I tried , but since I am new into linux I was advised to have my whole system in one single partition [06:12] zedster, hi [06:13] hi, same problem as last time http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1326317 I started this thread but nothing [06:13] in fact this is my first linux experience [06:13] fitus: can you pastebin the output of sudo blkid [06:13] zedster, the wifi?

[06:14] fitus: /home/user1 /home/user2 [06:14] fitus: the good part about linx is that you are your own system admin, the bad part is that you are your own system admin [06:14] yes [06:14] zedster< hehe [06:14] zedster: well said!

[06:15] how do I issue that [06:15] fireball: clean install is prefereed if you can [06:15] <[-jon-]_> what is a "workspace"? [06:15] can anyone help me with my broadcom card? it worked flawlessly in jaunty. [06:15] <[-jon-]_> that is not a monitor is it? [06:15] [-jon-]_: it's a separate virtual desktop [06:16] [-jon-]_: each workspace has its own set of windows [06:16] arrrghhh: installed the restricted driver? [06:16] [-jon-]_: arrgh! [06:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/319082/ [06:16] there [06:16] om26er - I agree, but is there a way? [06:16] <[-jon-]_> lstarnes: I'm trying to move windows between actual monitors and I cant seem to do it [06:16] fitus: thanks I'll take a look [06:16] om26er: i tried to, but the "activate" button doesn't seem to do anything. i hit it and nothing happens. [06:16] wow [06:17] arrrghhh: connected to internet? on the system you trying ? [06:17] arrrghhh: install it manually using apt [06:17] Anyone have bridged networking working in VirtualBox.

[06:17] fitus: yeah looks like everything glommed into one partition [06:17] should I reinstall again ? [06:17] fitus: I would [06:17] fitus: no problem [06:17] ok [06:18] om26er: i am using a usb wifi card, which also doesn't work out of the box but i know which two drivers i need to blacklist for the card to work properly :D [06:18] okay need a break.... [06:18] I was instructed here to create an account with no privileges [06:18] so that is the one that I am using [06:18] [-jon-]_: yes... mostly [06:19] <[-jon-]_> stuartpb: any idea why I cant drag a window off of my primary display? [06:19] fitus: don't be afraid to start over - unfortunately like the guy said - the bane and beauty of linux is that you are your own sysadmin [06:19] <[-jon-]_> It goes most of the way, but it wont let me drag it all of the way [06:19] fitus: this account might not be able to mount did you check it? [06:19] am sorry I still have the ways of windows [06:19] fitus: ok [06:19] fitus: I was that way for awhile - we understand honest [06:19] [-jon-]_: like anything else in linux (and the rest of the computing world i suppose) there can be hardware issues [06:19] and I am affraid to damage my pc if I do something wrong [06:19] <[-jon-]_> the desktop displays properly, stuartpb [06:20] fitus, its ok [06:20] fitus: if it works then don't fix it - but just beaware of the limiitations [06:20] <[-jon-]_> but it just will not let me take the entire window off of the primary display (even though it lets 95% go, it wont let the last 5% move) [06:20] fitus, I have done tons of installs and no damage to PC [06:20] but I am doing a lot of reading in ubuntu planet and also the how to's [06:20] bazhang: DITTO [06:20] [-jon-]_: do you have your monitors configured in the right orientation? [06:20] fitus, short of dropping it, you probably wont hurt it, except maybe video driver settings in X! [06:20] fitus: most linux users will have their first install last about 3 weeks and the next one after that 3 months. You do something stupid and start over, if you have your user data in the other partition no foul [06:21] is kind of a whole new experience for me [06:21] <[-jon-]_> stuartpb:yes [06:21] but I do really love ubuntu [06:21] is way different than xp [06:22] game on [06:22] after upgrading to karmic i see a display manager. how to cancel it and login to text-based? [06:22] in fact since I installed a week ago , I haven't restarted to windows [06:22] [-jon-]_: if you haven't already, make a post on http://ubuntuforums.com [06:22] fitus: it got me through a couple of business trips just now... I'm about 3 weeks into it and loving it [06:22] <[-jon-]_> also is there an easy way to install nvidia drivers? [06:22] <[-jon-]_> aka through a package manager? [06:22] yes [06:22] fitus: sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/*kdm ; rm /etc/rc2.d/*gdm [06:22] [-jon-]_: change your name to something easy plz [06:22] [-jon-]_: and yes [06:22] sudo on the second rm also :) [06:22] <[-jon-]_> om26er: [- tab [06:23] what that would do ? [06:23] [-jon-]_: seconding om26er [06:23] pronoy: how do i know what driver to install via apt? [06:23] fitus: it removes a symbolic link telling runlevel 2 to start kdm or gdm which is your graphical display managers. Do a ls //etc/rc2.d | grep dm and show me the output and I can tell you which one is being started [06:23] ubuntu it's amazing my wireless works without any drivers [06:23] cowbud, i think you wanted to point that answer to owen1_ [06:23] not fitus [06:24] ahh indeed my bad [06:24] :) [06:24] owen1_: do what I said to fitus :) [06:24] after upgrading to karmic i see a display manager. how to cancel it and login to text-based?

[06:26] fitus: for your own system .. no ... not needed [06:26] I am the onlyone with ubuntu linux at my home [06:26] how do i install my Realtek wireless adaptor? [06:26] cowbud: ok. delete those folders. [06:26] cowbud: thanks [06:26] stuartpb: at this point if it didn't happen before i'd file a bug and see what people say it might have something to do with how your cardis interacting with alsa/pulse etc that wasn't happening before. I.e. it may be a bug [06:26] fitus: well your just peachy then :) [06:26] ok [06:26] owen1_: the files not the folders right? :) [06:26] loopool: USB? [06:26] zedster: yes [06:26] cowbud: yes [06:27] cowbud: it's a new file that's longer than the ubuntu default one [06:27] owen1_: excellent now you should get the normal login [06:27] : hello brotherzetheroo [06:27] fireball: they it shouldn't really matter [06:27] anyone?

[06:27] zedster: without a monitor it logs in as some lousy large default resolution, with the RDV displays [06:27] zetheroo : Are cpu fan speed [06:27] fireball: vnc (I assume this is your method) can pan if the resolution is too high. You can also set the window size for vnc in the command line if I recall [06:28] owen1_, if you want to disable GDM in karmic see http://paste.ubuntu.com/319084/ [06:28] just installed and I see that I have almost everything that I need [06:28] loopool: ahhh ... Ndiswrapper [06:28] fitus: Try CCSM and [06:28] MSK: my installation is very custom and if i give you the script it will install things that you don't wanna install like. it will download full office again brasero cups evolution and so on [06:28] cowbud: what project should i file the bug under? ubuntu? [06:28] python_root: that's it ;-) [06:28] fitus: Just for eye candy [06:28] zedster: thanks. I tend to use RRemote Desktop Viewer. Seems faster response [06:28] zetheroo, yeah that! So i just type in sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper into the terminal right? [06:28] <[-jon-]_> how can I boot into single user mode? [06:28] so I don't need to do anything besides updates, right ? [06:28] fitus: which graphic card are you using? [06:29] [-jon-]_: reboot and select the recovery mode option in the boot menu [06:29] fitus: U can do a lot [06:29] would anyone mind helping me with these media keys please? http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3108120.msg206784#msg206784 [06:29] fitus: your good to go :) [06:29] [-jon-]_: or you could tru sudo telinit 1 [06:29] *try [06:29] loopool: yep ....

[06:30] loopool: yeah I feared that [06:31] wrong language lol :x [06:31] what is the msg command [06:31] yast: it depends on what permissions you want to grant [06:31] fireball: you could set up a 2nd account you use for remoting and have it set up with the lower res, that way you don't have to keep changing it [06:31] chmod +x (filename) [06:31] yast: it's chmod FLAGS file [06:31] i want to send someone a msg on my home network through bash shell [06:31] zetheroo, nevermind i had to type sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common [06:31] what I mean I was scared to install ubuntu , until I said heck I will do it [06:31] all for instance [06:31] fireball: your remoting into a ubuntu box right?

[06:31] I suggest you just start to get used to the operating system and take it one slow step at a time [06:32] to no lugar errado [06:32] rm K99xdm? [06:32] yast: however, you probably want 666 instead of 777 if you don't want execution [06:32] cowbud: rm K99xdm ? [06:32] lstarnes, yeh I know but its a just a file [06:32] fitus : :P :) [06:32] zetheroo, it still says it isn't installed :/ [06:32] fitus: look at what you want to do and start to gather the programs you need [06:32] owen1_: it will have no affect but for cleanup's sake sure, the K99xdm is saying when I shutdown stop this [06:32] I was puting with a plus (+) dunno why lol [06:32] my bad [06:32] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1326317 having serious issues with 9.10 and an intel 3945 wifi [06:32] loopool: one sec [06:32] xD thkz [06:32] yast: + is only used in certain cases [06:32] owen1_: K == kill S == start [06:32] zedster: i have a x2 set up as a security server. For security and power reasons it helps if it has no monitor [06:32] cowbud: how to login to text-based? [06:32] cowbud: i am confused. [06:32] yast: when numeric permissions are used, don't use + or - [06:32] fitus: "just a file" that anybody can write to as well as execute can introduce any variety of security holes [06:33] owen1_: it presents a login prompt when you reboot text based [06:33] I installed the Ubuntu-restricted-extras and set up the DVD codecs but Totem won't play them... is there a way to fix this? I installed MPlayer as well but it played a few minutes of the movie then jumped to the credits. Is there a known way to fix either of these problems?

Should i boot into windows and go into the device manager and check? [06:36] kisuke: the other part i don't know ( how to connect?)

[06:37] fitus: i will mail you [06:38] ok [06:38] cowbud: for future reference you can't file bugs to the root ubuntu project, you have to chose the right package per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage and pass that as an argument to ubuntu-bug [06:38] cowbud: cool. what files are they? can you be more specific? [06:38] fitus: :id [06:38] I can downloaded if you tell me from where ? [06:38] fitusv [06:38] arrrghhh: ok if you are, its easy finding the package, google your card name with the ubuntu version, its bound to turn up [06:38] How can I recover if I played with my grub.cfg and screwed it up [06:38] arrrghhh: or use synaptic [06:38] stuartpb: ah wasn't sure how you were filing most people don't know about the cli tool.

I don't wan't people to be able to willy nilly go through my personal files [06:41] kisuke: this right click permissions thing, gives people free access to all my files [06:41] loopool: ok so it seems that this chipset was working in Jaunty with Ndiswrapper .... but no longer in Karmic .... I don't know what happened to Ndiswrapper in Karmic [06:42] zetheroo, im running jaunty [06:42] owen1_, if you want to disable GDM in karmic see http://paste.ubuntu.com/319084/ [06:42] loopool: also the driver for your hardware is being created it seems for a Linux kernel [06:42] loopool: your running Jaunty?

[06:54] <[-jon-]_> is there any way to fully escalate to root without logging out?

[06:54] cowbud, how to track down something of that sort [06:55] [-jon-]_, if root is enabled, try 'login' [06:55] Ubuntu sucks and thats the bottom line [06:55] ubunewb: google is no help?

I think I commented out something in /etc/fstab that is causing my system not to boot now. All I can get to after a grub menu is the 'busybox' initramfs CLI. Tried to force mount sda1 to re-edit fstab to fix it up, but the 'device is busy'. Any idea what I can do? [06:56] Linux sucks [06:56] <[-jon-]_> ah but it is actually from google?

[07:18] cowbud: i use ubuntu 9.10 [07:18] <[-jon-]_> does ubuntu come with a graphical svn client? [07:18] does anyone know where the startup script for nautilus is kept in karmic?

[07:19] sidd: applications-->ubuntu software center and type flash [07:20] knoppies, ^^; my bad... I meant bash can only handle whole numbers... not sure if it does all integers though [07:20] om26er: thank u ..let me check [07:20] and install the adobe flash one [07:20] linuxunix, is the * whatever the calculation is? [07:20] ah, I see, thanks spongebob [07:21] knoppies, np... btw, it's $[], not $[[]]... and you need to echo it to be more useful. :) [07:21] * om26er loves software center [07:21] spongebob, thanks, Im sure I would have figured that out eventually. [07:21] THERE IS NO INSTALL BUTTON THERE [07:21] FOR ADOBE FLASH PLUGIN [07:21] sidd: double click [07:21] knoppies: i.e. calc 233+(23/5) returns 237.6 [07:22] sidd: stop shouting [07:22] yes [07:22] typing with keys raised? [07:22] ok sry [07:22] yes i have clicked [07:22] but still there is no install button [07:22] like the others have [07:22] guess nobody knows where nautilus gets launched? [07:22] sidd: is there a green check on it? [07:22] linuxunix, ah, I see. Its a function. I still dont understand how the parameters are passed down, but I will figure it out. Thanks again.

[07:24] eli7777, hey still there? [07:25] yeah [07:25] i would prefer if icons would be placed on say, the right side [07:25] linuxunix, AWSOME. Thanks. [07:25] rather than always the upper left [07:25] ok... i'll try it again. anyone know how the heck you're supposed to play Sail? [07:25] just replyied on your form post too [07:25] mgmuscari: keep aligned and cleanup should do that...

[07:26] potwak: insert cd and go to boot order of you bios and play there [07:26] eli7777, this is a mode button which changes from mail internet and programable keys 1 and 2 to media keys, the media keys dont seem to work at all.. but they light up like they are suppoesd to [07:27] why is that pata and sata hdd cant co-exist on ubuntu 9.10? [07:27] which is better nouvea or video-nv? [07:27] I am not able to work if both enabled, [07:27] one butten changes the others to do something else with the first 4 do? so like your mail butten can be your play butten too? [07:27] cowbud: hold on, let me show you what i mean [07:27] woah... plasma likes to crash without compositing.. XD [07:27] pata and sata work with my ubuntu [07:28] wtf is this I don't even... [07:28] cowbud: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=260deyp&s=4 [07:28] HI ALL, how to make qt and java application looks like gtk app in gnome? [07:28] sata is my main and my secondary is pata [07:28] music_freak: but if I enable SATA on my bios, my PATA is not getting detected. [07:28] mgmuscari: and right cick on the desktop cleanup doesn't do that? [07:28] karex: qt curve is what you want [07:29] cowbud: no... why would it move the icons out from underneath a window? [07:29] has to be a bios setting for the pata one.. it worked out of teh box for me === mike is now known as Guest75593 [07:29] mgmuscari: cause I just tried it and it did exactly that [07:29] robin0800: what's the pkg name? [07:29] Does anyone have a list of switches for the usb-storage module in kernel 2.6.31-14-generic? [07:29] that window is just a normal window with some compiz rules applied to it [07:29] Eh. I love Karmic on my AA1, the only problem is getting a hard freeze whenever my cpu 100%'s for too long or I watch flash in full screen. Like, complete black screen, blinking underscore, no response from keys at all. [07:30] i don't think my dvd-r supports cd+g ripping.... gotta go shopping.. lol [07:30] eli7777, yes [07:30] krimzonstarr: overheating? [07:30] My ubuntu is in PATA HDD, My WindowsXP is on SATA HD, If I enable sata, my ubuntu wornt boot, If I disable SATA controller on bios my ubuntu is working. [07:30] mgmuscari: stop trying to be too smart move your mouse to the desktop area where an icon is but not on an icon right click and click clean up [07:30] karex: dont know do an aptitude search for it [07:30] karmic works really well on acer netbook too btw:) [07:30] mgmuscari: and make sure keep aligned is selected [07:30] cowbud: i must find the why, because i do accomplish in redhat with the same method [07:30] mgmuscari: I get exactly what you have in your pick there [07:31] cowbud: of course, when i right click over any of those icons, since there's a window in front of them, i end up right clicking on the window... [07:31] fooj: without any logs it is hard to help [07:31] Yeah, no more messing with madwifi anymore, so I am happy. [07:31] the window is non-moveable, sticky, and non-minimizable [07:31] maybe if ubuntu was installed on the sata and xp on the pata it may work? i dunno.. i'm still a noob... [07:31] sharpen047 - thats an odd way of working. i'm not sure how to go about setting that up [07:31] anyone experienced trouble with the window list in 9.10? i can't drag the mouse from item to item, have to move mouse away from the list and then directly onto the item i want to click in order for it to work [07:31] been ubunting now for just a month [07:31] of course i can change the window profile to default, move it out of the way, and then deal with the icons, but that's cumbersome [07:31] mgmuscari: hold ALT click anywhere on the window and move it out of the way [07:31] hello any body knows a library that can be used to bind mouse events to other events ? [07:32] Scanner not working for Epson [07:32] http://paste.ubuntu.com/319105/ [07:32] cowbud: the window is not moveable with alt+click unless i either change my compiz rules or change the window to a different profile to prevent the compiz rules from being applied to it [07:32] Epson Stylus TX 101 [07:32] its alot funner than windows:) [07:32] mgmuscari: so before you start the application clean up your icons.. [07:32] ... [07:33] sharpen047 - you driver may not be playing nicely with the new kernel. other then mailing the support for it i wouldnt know what to try [07:33] mgmuscari: what options do you want to start nautilus with? [07:33] eli7777, http://www.fujitsupc.com/www/content/pdf/SupportGuides/N6110_05FAL_USERSGUIDE.PDF refer to page 26 of the manual, its a pdf [07:33] the whole point of putting a terminal there is so that when i start my gnome session, there's a terminal there waiting for me [07:33] hey guys... really hoping for some help here. Wsa having MBR issues after setting up a truecrypt partition and accidentally clicked "Create Partition Table..." in GParted thinking it would write the displayed mbr... Not the case. Really praying for some help in recovering my mbr... [07:33] i was going to play with --geometry [07:33] there a way to partition in ntfs from gparted? [07:33] I'm reading through google results and man pages now for fsck etc... but figured I'd see if anyone here could help [07:33] mgmuscari: geomtry has absolutely no barring when nautilus draws the desktop [07:34] music_freak: where's ur ubuntu installed on? SATA or PATA hdd? [07:34] music_freak: yes... install the ntfs util's and GParted can work with NTFS [07:34] well then maybe i'll use no-desktop [07:34] mgmuscari: that is definitely an option but you lose your icons [07:34] i'd rather have no icons there and open ~/Desktop than have to look at that eyesore all the time [07:34] mgmuscari: I am confused as to why you can't just move your icons out of the way [07:34] my ubuntu is installed on SATA.... my music files are installed on a PATA drive [07:34] because there's a window on top of them [07:34] and that window launches when my system starts [07:35] and it's unmovable and unminimizable [07:35] anyone able to help recover an MBR? [07:35] mgmuscari: but if you kill the window and then move the icons and then start the window again (a one time deal) you will be fine [07:35] mgmuscari: nautilus remembers where your icons are.. [07:35] no it doesn't [07:35] not as it's configured by default in 9.10 on this system, anyway [07:35] mgmuscari: if it doesn't it is because your user permissions are messed up due to mixing root with normal user.. [07:35] robin0800: i've installed it. how to configure it? [07:36] cowbud: i most certainly do not mix root with normal users [07:36] cowbud: thank you for your help after all~ [07:36] ok, let's say that i like to have my browser download files to ~/Desktop for some reason [07:36] i'm running xp in virtualbox only because i am in school for support specialist === dragon is now known as Guest93743 [07:36] karex: I didn't it just worked [07:36] and i would like any new file that gets downloaded to ~/Desktop to be shown on the right side of the screen rather than the left, or basically anywhere that isn't underneath my terminal window [07:37] slo [07:37] kindof ironic though that i emjoy linux better [07:37] hello any body knows a library that can be used to bind mouse events to other events ? [07:37] gbear14275: you need a tool that can guess the partition layout and overwrite what you have now. i don't know the name of such a tool but i'm looking to see what i can find [07:37] fooj: without logs unfortunately it isn't really something that can be diagnosed, the only other thing I can think of is your compiled version is dumping logs somewhere else what happens when you call mysqld directly? [07:37] i want to send someone a msg on my home network through bash shell [07:37] *also, i don't want to move my terminal to accommodate an unconfigurable program, because it doesn't look good and i have a large graphic on the right side of the screen that's part of my background, which i don't want obscured [07:37] virtuald: Thank you... I'm trying to find one as well... I appreciate anything you may find [07:37] eli7777, going into bios to see if there are any settings there bbs [07:37] how might i persuade nautilus to place windows on the right side of the screen [07:37] mgmuscari: if you move an icon then relogin and the icon is back to the original spot either you are using a desktop that someone enforces that or you have a permissions problem [07:38] <{g}> Hey People! I added a user with "adduser username". when i become this user by "sudo -u username bash" i get "xset: unable to open display ":0.0"" on my screen. And when I try to start firefox with "firefox" i get "No protocol specified Error: cannot open display: :0.0". Any wizards here who know what to do? [07:38] mgmuscari: oh wait, you aren't talking about icons at all you are talking abuot new windows from nautilus no? [07:38] gbear14275: maybe gpart can help [07:38] Any automated incremental backup solutions using Ubuntu? I have one home machine and laptop. I dont know how to setup a backup server using Ubuntu. Any advice? [07:38] mgmuscari: and you have your terminal set to ALWAYS ON TOP, right? [07:38] cowbud: do you see the file shortcuts that have been placed there from downloading 3 .debs? [07:38] virtuald: thats actually what I messed it up with lol... but I'll look for a detect MBR setting [07:38] oh, maybe this is the problem... [07:39] the terminal is always on top [07:39] but it's transparent [07:39] mgmuscari: yeah..but transparency is pseudo transparency [07:39] were you thinking that the icons are on top of it? [07:39] the icons are underneath the terminal window [07:39] gbear14275: i don't think it's the same thing as gparted [07:39] mgmuscari: chat me priv [07:39] gbear14275: http://www.brzitwa.de/mb/gpart/ [07:40] Anyone here ever used GhostForLinux, G4L? Any success stories? [07:40] sharpen047 i think its going to be the driver. it looks like the laptop is a few years old so it make be something thats is black boxed from the kernal now. i know the ibm thinkpabs were like that [07:40] mgmuscari: or here, but it is easier to keep track in priv [07:40] virtuald: looks promising... I'll check it out [07:40] eli7777, what do you mean blackboxed? [07:40] hey has the audio problems with karmic been fixed yet(particularly with x-fi,Static,echo,distortions) === mike is now known as Guest34255 [07:40] blacklisted [07:41] G4L...any takers? [07:41] i forget what they call it. but where they take out support for some things to keep the kernal from getting to big [07:41] there is away to unlock it [07:43] eli7777, ooh how do i go about doing this seemingly-impossible task [07:43] eli7777, you can start here: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [07:43] blacklist yes thats it.... === Guest34255 is now known as mwilly88 [07:44] hey its 1:44 am and i am rather sober for saturday night [07:44] Hi All [07:45] Can anyone tell me ..

[08:00] how to get rid of the password to access a disk device in karmic? [08:00] Good Evening, I was hoping some kind soul could help me. Recently updated my Acer Aspire to 9.10 and the fans quit working. /proc/acpi/fans/ is empty. Anyone have any idea's? [08:00] hey all - wonder if someone in here knows - i saw an app ages ago that took control of the mouse to show you how to do a particular task. it would click on menu items, buttons and type for you as if someone was controlling the computer. and it would show a series of onscreen prompts as it happened. [08:01] im not sure if it was part of a single application, or a more generic piece of software that could be used with anything to create interactive tutorials [08:01] nitinv, it doesn't appear your Epson Stylus TX101 is supported by Sane see http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#SCANNERS [08:01] sup jr200747 [08:02] lcan anyone plz help me out [08:02] can anyone plz help me out [08:02] !ask | jr200747 [08:02] jr200747: 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. :-) [08:02] how can I install a 64bit JVM? [08:03] VinceN: make sure lmsensors is installed,then do sudo sensors-detect,its interactive. [08:03] i have a deti server that im trying to remote desktop but all i get is a gray screen [08:03] how to get rid of the password to access a disk device in karmic? keykeeper ask it to me everytime and i cant se to set the pass by default like the old releases.. [08:03] Hi all, I am trying to install VMWare Server 2 on ubuntu 9.10, and i am trying to install "build-essentials" and it asks for the CDROM, when i insert it... it doesnt read and errors out [08:03] nomad help me my friend :) [08:04] dibs_: If you're on 64-bit, 64-bit packages will be installed by default. [08:04] nomad77 Did that. Detects the thermal sensors, nothing for the fans [08:04] atmaslo27: Why not takeout the cdrom from apt/sources.list ? [08:04] atmaslo27: It will download it from the internet [08:05] userOne88: you can try 2 different things. 1 - install/run ntfs-config, and check the proper options. and/or add proper entries to the /etc/fstab for the filesystems in question [08:05] VinceN: then either kernel-module or kernel issue i'd think. [08:05] i have a deti server that im trying to remote desktop but all i get is a gray screen [08:05] ok, gimme a sec to try [08:05] nomad77 Ok, Forgive me i'm a moderatly experianced noob. How would be the best way to investigate/fix this? [08:06] anyone try Istanbul the screen recorder? it seems to hang after stopping recording, with the disk icon. the mouseover says "in process of saving to disK" but cpu usage is close to 0. and it just hangs. [08:06] anyone know what ubuntu uses for global spell checking? [08:06] why does it give warning "not using odf 1.2 may cause information to be lost"? is that mean i will get information lost using .doc ? [08:06] downloaded...installing thanks linux-manju [08:06] melik: it really depends on the application unfortunately [08:07] nomad77 can you plz help me out m8 [08:07] oh really? it doesnt have a global universal spell checker? [08:07] melik: nope :( aspell is big so is enchant (which supports multiple languages) but it isn't global [08:07] I forget what firefox uses [08:07] VinceN: i'd go to mfrs website get hw specs then check ubuntu wiki,and bug reports.i'm not up on acer hw. [08:08] jr200747: ive never even heard of a 'deti' server. how are you trying to get a remote desktop? vnc? or some other way? [08:08] HI guys. I'm back!! [08:08] With another problem. . . [08:08] Dr_Willis in using tightvnc [08:08] would anyone know why my webcam doesnt run on stickam, it is an internal webcam on a laptop????? [08:08] mathew^: that is what they are trying to say. Microsoft says the same thing when you do not use the latest format. For most purposes the files save the same data and open cleanly on both sides. [08:08] deti = dedicated server Dr_Willis [08:08] LOL'z [08:08] yo [08:08] hah [08:08] new term, deti that is a first.. [08:09] aww, i have enchant and aspell installed in arch linux [08:09] Im new to linux, well ubuntu.. anyone got any tips? [08:09] but they dont seem to work :/ [08:09] melik: what application? [08:09] I've used a program called File Types Editor (assogiate in command-line) as a GUI to edit MIME-types. [08:09] and firefox probably uses aspell [08:10] UbuntuNoob, check out compiz, install its advanced settings, play with it. [08:10] * teabag is away: busy for a bit [08:10] or at least understand ispell/aspell files [08:10] UbuntuNoob, get to know the terminal. [08:10] why does it give warning "not using odf 1.2 may cause information to be lost"? is that mean i will get information lost using .doc ? [08:10] It gives you an option to set a default icon for MIME-types, but only if the current iconset doesn't have an icon for the type. [08:10] jr200747: many vncservers default to useing twm, which is NOT installed by default and is rather lacking window mnager. Check your .vnc/xstartup to see what its doing. and check its logs also to see what its saying [08:10] both enchant and aspell [08:10] matthew^: it means metadata may be lost like edits etc [08:10] jr200747: and if using vnc over the internet you will want to 'ssh tunnle it' [08:10] im semi familiar with the terminal, i was able to install DivX on my own [08:10] lol [08:10] Is there any way to give a MIME-type a default icon that overrides the iconset's icon? [08:11] melik: what is the exact app though, what are you trying to do? [08:11] cowbud what is metadata [08:11] hmm for example xchat, pidgin, and firefox [08:11] UbuntuNoob: why did you need to install divx at all? :) i can play divx videos fine here :) === NiSoOo is now known as Guest97604 [08:11] UbuntuNoob, you understand how Synaptic package manager works? [08:11] matthew^: extra things the program puts into the file format (like revision info etc) but the actual doc will be fine [08:11] do i have to configure each program seperately? [08:12] melik: it is dependent on what the app was programed to use, so...what are you trying to do? :) [08:12] melik: what do u mean [08:12] melik:ofcourse [08:13] im not familiar with synaptics package installer [08:13] right now im attempting to install flash 10 [08:14] UbuntuNoob: It's simple. All you're doing is looking at ALL packages available shown with their 'ugly' names. [08:14] ubottu: go to applications->accessories->terminal and type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [08:14] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:14] i mean, im familiar with the software center, and what not [08:14] UbuntuNoob: go to applications->accessories->terminal and type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [08:15] UbuntuNoob: if you install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package it will pullin/install a lot of things you proerly want, java, flash, extra fonts and so forth [08:15] and how to get things, but not EVERYTHING in available in packages, correct? [08:15] nvidia video driver ero [08:15] Software Center groups packages into their respective applications. Synaptic let's you install individual packages. [08:15] where do i access this package installer? [08:15] UbuntuNoob: not everything, but probably like 95% of the stuff you want to use is [08:16] got flash btw thanks [08:16] which driver is better 173 or 185 for nvidia 7150 nforce630i [08:16] UbuntuNoob: what did you end up doing? [08:16] I used to use FC [08:16] Hey nomad77 thanks for the tip. I did a little refining on my google searches based on what you said and came up with a launchpad bug with a kernel fix. Going to try that now [08:16] the command u gave me, which i had JUST found on google as well lol [08:16] w00t :) [08:16] Synaptic is more powerful and very specific. System > Administration > Synaptec Package Installer [08:16] The thing that has ALWAYS attracted me to linux [08:16] is the willingness of the knowing community to help the noobs hahah [08:16] Hallo. I'm having a bit of trouble with conky. [08:17] It's always started up on startup, but for some reason it's not doing so now. [08:17] UbuntuNoob: we try [08:17] I just can't get it to start on startup. [08:17] Can anyone help me with my problem? [08:17] In startup applications I've put "sleep 3 && conky &" [08:17] Wait! Hold on. . . [08:17] LordHawke13: what was your issue again? [08:17] DING!! I think I got it!! [08:17] meghan: i make a script that launches it and have th start up manager launch that script normally. Since i found i have to make conky 'wait' about 10 sec for the desktop to get ready [08:17] :) [08:18] What category does the restricted package fall under [08:18] on the synaptics [08:18] So should I up the sleep time to 10 Dr_Willis [08:18] ? [08:18] Or should I use your script... [08:18] also, i can't get gtk-recordmydesktop working. or istanbul. istanbul hangs during the "saving to disk" part, and gtk-recordmydesktop dies with "error parsing arguments" [08:18] fighter1: normally most current,but both work,i have same but don't really do gaming, [08:19] meghan: yes. I think i have mine at the very large 30+ sec. but It depends on your system [08:19] UbuntuNoob: metapackages [08:19] My system runs light. Before I had it with no sleep at all. [08:19] meghan: i found some command that kills/restarts all conky sessions also. so that i can rerun the script and it will reread the configs also. I got it from some info on the conky forums. [08:19] Hello , i used "pppoeconf" in order to set my dsl connection and its working fine , now i take my computer to other place which have home network and when i connect the network cable it should get an automatic ip and have access to the internet but its not working any idea ? [08:19] And it worked marvelously. [08:19] UbuntuNoob: metapackages multiverse (they try to hide it ) [08:19] meghan: i found with no waiting. it would appear UNDER the gnome desktop window and thus never be seen [08:20] Yeah, that's what happened with my last computer, but this time it worked before, so I made a sleep time with no avail. [08:20] But, I'll up the sleep time. Then I'll be back. [08:20] One minute. :) [08:20] is there a folder which maps to RAM? I am trying to download an .iso while using a live-cd but don't have any storage... I do have 6 gb of ram though... more than enough to house an .iso [08:20] $HIT!! That DIDN'T work. . . AHHH! [08:21] also should there be the parentheses? "((sleep 10 && conky &))"? [08:21] what size should i have made my swap partition? [08:21] cowbud: I downloaded a GUI for editing MIME-types from Software Center. [08:21] UbuntuNoob, what are you doing with your computeR? [08:21] nomad77: hey i am not getting 1280*1024 in both the drivers [08:21] admin@server36553:~$ .vnc/xstartup [08:21] xsetroot: unable to open display '' [08:21] vncconfig: unable to open display "" [08:21] xterm Xt error: Can't open display: [08:21] xterm: DISPLAY is not set [08:21] .vnc/xstartup: line 12: twm: command not found [08:22] jr200747: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[08:22] cowbud: It can set default icons for types, but only if the current iconset doesn't have an icon for that type. === dto1 is now known as dto [08:22] convert and burn movies, a little flash games, chat mostly [08:22] Dr_Willis om plz [08:22] cowbud: Is there any way to set a default icon for a type that overrides the iconset's default icon?

[08:24] cowbud: You there, cowbud? [08:24] jr200747: examine the contents of the file to see what its running. If its running 'twm' as its window manager. change it to some other window manager [08:24] LordHawke13: I am pretty sure you hav eto define your own theme for fun stuff like that [08:24] Hello , i used "pppoeconf" in order to set my dsl connection and its working fine , now i take my computer to other place which have home network and when i connect the network cable it should get an automatic ip and have access to the internet but its not working any idea ? [08:24] Dr_Willis you have me lost m8 [08:25] re [08:25] Hmm. . . *Grumble Grumble* [08:25] Better not. . . [08:25] jr200747: you run vncserver -> it runs xstartup. You need to set xstartup to launch a proper window manager [08:25] anybody got electricsheep working in 9.10? trying to run it just yields the message "Terminated." tried changing video drivers, uninstalling the ubuntu package and going with the debian package, no dice. [08:25] Best media player for ubuntu? [08:25] jr200747: install somthing like icewm, and edit xstartup to launch 'icewm' instead of 'twm' [08:25] I like Banshee [08:25] I want to roll out my own personal Ubuntu ISO with all my apps pre-installed [08:26] okay and how do i do that m8 [08:26] VLC is best for random things. Banshee for playlisting 'n' stuff like iTunes. [08:26] jr200747: its a text file.. edit it with a text editor [08:26] is there a program compatibe with ipod, such as itunes? [08:26] okay, I'm thoroughly confused now... I put conky sleep at 10 seconds, and nothing. So, I took off sleep completely, and now it starts up perfectly again. [08:26] So....whatever. [08:26] which is the command to install all application in the same folder [08:26] UbuntuNoob: Bout all of 'em. . . Banshee, Amarok, Rhythmbox. . . [08:27] I want to roll out my own personal Ubuntu ISO with all my apps pre-installed .... how would I do this? [08:27] but how do i install icewm?

In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.37+1.3.4pre2-3 (karmic), package size 801 kB, installed size 2068 kB [08:28] BUT, I've got another problem. For some reason, my desktop appearance keeps randomly changing to the darkroom blue and gray, somewhat resembling windows. [08:28] Dr_Willis: just wondering ... is it possible to use a GUI to do it ? ... or is it all cmd line [08:28] To fix it I just sign out and back in, but it's odd... [08:28] see thats the thing Dr_Willis the computer is not here with me it over seas === Ph03n is now known as Phoenix87 [08:29] in ALOT of ways, this is more complicated than windows, and in ALOT of ways its easier as well [08:29] Hi, any hints on the missing WLAN and the missing Sound under karmic? The Hardware is just not recognized. ;-( [08:29] example, all my drivers are good upon install [08:29] sound quality is excellent [08:30] which is the command to install all application in the same folder [08:30] UbuntuNoob: linux != windows [08:30] zetheroo: its just a simple text file. Use any gui text editor you want. It worked here just now and launched gnome for me. Which is OVERKILL for a vnc connection [08:30] or was tha tto jr200747 . i forget who im talking to now.. :) [08:31] Dr_Willis im sorry im a noob [08:31] which is the command to install all application in the same folder [08:31] Dr_Willis: hehe .... not I ... I was asking about the personalised ISO rollout [08:31] jr200747: You really shouldent be using vnc over a unenecrypted connection. [08:31] jr200747: to admin a remote box. its best to learn the command line very well. [08:32] fighter1: from repositories? it's not intended and it makes no sense to do it [08:33] i think i've found the problem with gtk-recordmydesktop... someone compiled it without JACK support in the update... [08:33] this used to work just fine [08:33] how can i disable pppoeconf (dsl connection) on my ubuntu ? so my computer will recognize ip from local network ? [08:33] jr200747: the default xstartup here launched the default window manager for the user which was 'gnome' for me. if you wanted it to launch for example icewm, you would change the last line in the xstartup file to launch icewm instead [08:34] jr200747: is the remote box running 9.10 or 9.04 or what exactly?

[09:00] knoppies: ya [09:00] froze [09:00] fighter1: the way arond that is press Save to X Configuration file button then press Preview Window and copy paste to xorg.conf [09:00] fighter1: the nvidia-setting tool is a little brain dead i found 2 work arounds for that issue.. #1 - try saving the xorg.conf somewhere else. like /home/username/xorg.conf.testing and copy that then with the shell to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:00] knoppies, i'm trying googling " pidgin new window open plugin background" but no luck [09:00] building my own Ubuntu ISO ... what packages do I need to play all media possible? [09:00] andresmh: Check the settings in ccsm>General Options>Focus and Raise Behavior [09:01] fighter1: or track down a xorg.conf off the internet and copy that to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then let the nvidia-settings tool change it [09:01] hey [09:01] ppl [09:01] http://pastebin.com/f2889ee [09:01] anyone knows ho to automount usb drive?

[09:03] Ashvala: then you dont format /home and you dont lose your home data. be sure to add the new users in the same order as you added them befor.

[09:05] Dr_Willis: Any place where I can get instructions? [09:05] hey, I'm having trouble with booting, I just installed 9.10 and kept my windows partition but formatted the linux partition, when I boot, it goes to grub and I select the kernel to boot to and it goes to a black screen with a flashing underscore in the top left, then it goes black for 5 minutes with no hard drive activity, then it boots to ubuntu, anyone know what's wrong? [09:05] python_root: oh ok [09:05] zetheroo: You have to use the medibuntu decss stuff [09:05] Ashvala: I just tell the installer to mount /home to where its at and not to format it.. thats all the instrictions ive ever used. [09:05] zetheroo : those are available in repos [09:06] soreau, thanks, I tried this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/285483/tmp/screenshot91.png but now I cannot see the IM window by clicking on it on the gnome panel, i have to minize all the other open windows [09:06] Dr_Willis: How to do that! just pm me, will you please? [09:06] python_root: the DVD packages? [09:06] Ashvala: using the installer.. in the partition manager.. it asks where to mount every drive. its not like i can tell you where to click here and there..

[09:08] Dr_Willis: Why ? Was a paste of a paste... [09:08] Ashvala: you mount your home partition to /home thats the whole trick. it does INSTALL to / and you will want to reformat / so you backup your /etc/whatever configs [09:09] EasyTUX: i had issues with that line/command in the apt-cacher-ng docs/guide :) i rember it well [09:09] soreau, I want it not to popup automatically, but I don't want to have to minimize every single window in order to see the new IM. FOr example, when I click on a Gedit icon on the gnome menu it opens up, i don't have to minize every winow to see it. I hope I explaining well. [09:09] EasyTUX: or at least one very similer to it. [09:09] I'm not running xubuntu, but ubuntu and I aptitude install'ed xfce4 (didn't want all the extra $h!t) that comes with xubuntu-desktop. I've also got compiz running (via fusion icon) but I can't find where to get it to start each time I login .. right now I've got to manually go and start it all (is there a session startup like Gnome?)

[09:10] I would also like cairo-dock to start with login but have to manually do it now .. [09:11] alazyworkaholic: so you are trying to get apt-cacher-ng going? [09:11] zetheroo: you there got solution for all [09:11] ok the plugins are istalled but still no video [09:11] I am trying out the UCK tool ... is it going to download all these packages form the Internet even though I have them on the host machine already? [09:11] python_root: sorry? [09:12] * EasyTUX get out of stream for a moment... eheh. [09:12] tool: download vlc plugin for firefox [09:12] EasyTUX: i had to figure out what the actuall command was going to do - then just used a text editor to make a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy file with the line --> Acquire::http::Proxy "http://cow:3142"; [09:12] I can't right-click on my gnome desktop (running Ubuntu 9.10)... any idea why? [09:12] alazyworkaholic: i had to figure out what the actuall command was going to do - then just used a text editor to make a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy file with the line --> Acquire::http::Proxy "http://cow:3142"; [09:13] ? [09:13] Dr_Willis: That's right, first attempt. You had trouble with this? I'm sorry, but I don't see what EasyTUX was suggesting. I'm supposed to enter: $ echo ‘Acquire::http { Proxy “http://localhost:3142″; };’ | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy [09:13] alazyworkaholic: dont use the fancy command.. Just MAKE the file and put that line in it [09:13] ok [09:13] Hello? [09:13] alazyworkaholic: that command is overly complex and broken. [09:13] Thanx ZykoticK9 [09:13] will UCK take what is available on my system already? [09:13] soreau, you know how the GNOME panel has a list of the windows, right? When you click on one of those on the panel the window will become active, right? Well, this behavior is disabled if I set "below" for Pidgin class on CCSM. I don't want that. All I want is for it not to gain focus and pop up on top when a new message arrives. [09:14] Dr_Willis: alazyworkaholic missed the {} [09:14] hi...i actually downloaded ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso....am currently in 9.04....i want to upgrade to 9.10 using the iso file...even after mounting i dont get any upgrade options... [09:14] alazyworkaholic: took me 15+ min of googling and searching to just find what the actual line should be, :) heh [09:14] !ati [09:14] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:14] llutz: that paste had lots of extra characters in it here as well. some a's with hats and super/subscripts also :) [09:15] ? [09:15] when i connect my laptop to the tv with HDMI cable i get 'no signal'. how do i troubleshoot this? [09:15] Dr_Willis the line is: Acquire::http { Proxy “http://localhost:3142″; }; [09:15] Does anyone know a program that can cat files except use syntax highlighting? [09:15] alazyworkaholic: replace 'cow' in my example with the ip or name of your thing. [09:15] Dr_Willis: {} needed for apt-config-syntax [09:15] andresmh: In the focus and raise behavior settings, set the match you have for focus prevention windows [09:15] Dr_Willis: Thanks a lot, I'm working on it. [09:15] llutz: i see extra chars at the end of that also. right after the 3142 [09:15] i downloaded ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso....am currently in 9.04....i want to upgrade to 9.10 using the iso file...even after mounting i dont get any upgrade options... [09:16] pls hlp [09:16] llutz: im using Acquire::http::Proxy "http://cow:3142"; [09:16] Dr_Willis sry, replace “ with " === silver is now known as hy [09:16] I have 2 hard drives showing up in gparted while using the 9.10 live CD. Why does the installer only show me options to install on the 2nd hard disk? [09:16] llutz: i blame this putty client im using :) [09:17] gopi_1681: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo update-manager [09:17] woah, just a sec. I've created the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d & in that file I've written { Acquire::http::Proxy "http://localhost:3142"; } Is that right? [09:17] soreau, I tired that: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/285483/tmp/screenshot92.png [09:17] llutz: so more properly it should be Acquire::http {Proxy "http://cow:3142";}; ? [09:17] soreau, but the window of a new messages are still poping up on top and gaining focus [09:18] Dr_Willis: imho yes [09:18] changeing cow to whatever ip/server :) [09:18] and yes 'cow' is my main machine. :P [09:18] holy cow [09:18] soreau:i have them...but i got the desktop.iso file....is it only possible to upgrade from iso using alternate.iso [09:18] Dr_Willis: you own a farm? ;) [09:18] Ok, so I misplaced the {} I've changed the line to "Acquire::http {Proxy "http://cow:3142";}; ?" (without quotes " " ) [09:19] llutz: its a 'gateway' machine. :) thus the cow motif. [09:19] Dr_Willis: will UCK use the packages on my system ? [09:19] alazyworkaholic: use the proper name/ip instead of 'cow' [09:19] oops, http:localhost [09:19] zetheroo: No idea. but I doubt it. [09:19] Dr_Willis: ok [09:19] andresmh: Well I am out of ideas then, maybe you need the opposite !(class=Pidgen) [09:20] Dr_Willis: Right, is the proper name the name I gave the computer when I installed? If I see alan@desktop, it's desktop? [09:20] Dr_Willis: do you think I will be able to edit this once I complete it ? ... or do i have to do it from scratch every time i want to change something [09:20] What would cause a hard drive to not be listed as an installation target for 9.10? It's a 320 GB SATA, and it shows up in gparted. [09:21] soreau:? [09:21] gopi_1681: What you said made no sense to me [09:21] soreau, no, that didn't work either, thanks anyway for spending the time [09:22] andresmh: I guess pidgen is overriding WM settings. If it still happens with metacity, file a bug with pidgen. If it does not happen with metacity, bug for compiz [09:23] Dr_Willis: About the cow replacement, I can think of a few possibilities. localhost, desktop, or 192.168.1.100 (I gave this a static ip). Does it matter? All should work? [09:24] alazyworkaholic: i got the /etc/hosts on all machines set to map the name to the proper ip. [09:24] alazyworkaholic: you may need to use ip of the server on your clients.. [09:24] alazyworkaholic: on the SERVER serving apt-cacher ng. use its ip, or name or localhost [09:25] "fdisk -l" shows /dev/sda and /dev/sdb . Why is the 9.10 installer only offering to install on /deb/sdb, which is already full of data? [09:25] * Dr_Willis thinks 'cow' is a much prettier name then 'desktop' :) [09:25] soreau, yeah, it doesn't happen with metacity. I'm surprised something so annoying hasn't been fixed. [09:26] andresmh: I think most people just use xchat ;) [09:26] i am trying to figure out how to enable packet socket in your kernel on Ubuntu [09:27] soreau, really? all that work that went into the new notification system for nothing! :) [09:27] andresmh: idk, I dont use pidgen [09:28] i am trying to figure out how to enable packet socket in your kernel on Ubuntu [09:28] Dr_Willis: Given that I know nothing about mapping names to ip's with /etc/hosts, I guess my situation's a little different. If I keep the static ip, I guess I can substitute cow with 192.168.1.100. If I didn't have a static ip, I'd use localhost. Right? === Phurl_ is now known as Phur1 [09:29] hi - it seems that epiphany is using no cache; am i right ? every page visit seems to reload everything [09:29] I can't right-click on my gnome desktop (running Ubuntu 9.10)... any idea why? [09:29] alazyworkaholic: "localhost" will only work on your server. On all other clients it will fail, because they are "localhost" themselve [09:30] llutz: Ah, ok. I get it now. I'm still setting up the server so I'll keep it as localhost. I'll worry about the clients in a minute. [09:30] alazyworkaholic: using 192....IP should work on all boxes === croppa_ is now known as croppa [09:31] llutz: until someday I try to do this on a dhcp network right? [09:31] llutz: then everything'll go haywire after a week. [09:31] alazyworkaholic: then a hostname with working dns would be better [09:32] ok, i am assuming know one knows how [09:33] llutz: If it's not too too complicated, what's involved in making dns & hostnames work? [09:34] alazyworkaholic: on small network easiest way is adding all hosts/ip to /etc/hosts. if you're using a router with dhcp, it also should be able to resolve local hostnames [09:35] my router can rember the dhcp/addresses given to specific mac's thus it basically makes them 'static' :) i still have to have a proper /etc/hosts - but at least it never needs to change === ballzee is now known as Sinister [09:36] I tried to continue with the howto & now I can't open synaptic for the next step. Now I get "E: Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy:2: Extra junk at end of file" [09:36] I enjoy this new version of Ubuntu [09:36] alazyworkaholic: /etc/hosts with > 3-4 PCs is .... bah. everytime a hostname/ip changes, you'll have to change all those hosts-files [09:36] helloya [09:36] Gnarwal: congrats, you seem to be the 1st ;) [09:37] in Koala, DontZap in xorg.conf is ignored ?

Applications load (such as firefox of Ubuntu One) on top of a black screen and, so does the Cursor. however, there is no panel or anything else... any ideas? [09:57] Please help [09:57] Xpire: what soundsystem you are using pulseaudio? [09:58] does anyone know why when i visit one of those whats my ip websites its a different ip than the one when i run ifconfig or dhclient or route -n. What is my actual ip? [09:58] great ... after running UCK once it longer opens [09:58] paddy_melon: try disabling compiz for starters [09:58] cv [09:58] OK, Dr_Willis... done... anything else I should try? [09:58] rgnr: they are supposed to auto mount. Or you can mount them by hand., [09:58] vdub: you are using a router? [09:58] and my terminal is also not opening [09:58] wow [09:58] paddy_melon: no idea. theres been some others with black screen issues. [09:59] Finally, in case anyone else runs into the same issue: "dmraid -r -E" to make a hard drive "forget" it was ever part of a "fakeraid". [09:59] llutz, yes and I am on sattelite internet as well [09:59] vdub: those sites show external IP, ifconfig/dhclient show your LAN-IP (internal) [09:59] Dr_Willis... yes but, they haven't got windows or cursor on top [09:59] troopperi, yeap i'm using pulseaudio [09:59] Dr_Willis... should I get drivers for something? [09:59] like my graphics card? [09:59] paddy_melon: ive heard several in here with that issue also. but never see/heard of what the fix was. [09:59] vdub: external = router -> internet , LAN = your box -> router [09:59] ok, thank you anyway [10:00] paddy_melon: as a test. Make a new user. see if it works properly for them [10:00] paddy_melon: Sounds like you dont have a wm running when you log in. What is the output of which metacity ? [10:00] paddy_melon: if a new user works - that would show its some gnome user setting thats goofing things up [10:00] llutz: is there a command to run to find out your external ip without going to one of those sites? [10:00] soreau... I do but, I launched KDE from recovery mode [10:00] vdub: ive seen such commands/scripts on the conky site - but not sure how they work [10:00] Dr_Willis... thanks [10:00] Xpire: you can try zero you soundsystem deleting .pulse at your home folder. (shows up pressing ctrl+h) [10:01] Xpire: and restart then [10:01] vdub: maybe your router gives that info. usually you have to ask sites outside your LAN [10:01] okay thanks [10:01] will try that [10:02] Dr_Willis: Thanks [10:02] llutz: Thank you for your help makes sense now [10:02] anybody got any ideas on how to fix a black screen in gnome?

[10:21] I had de-activated my facebook page some time ago. [10:21] But re-activated it tonight out of boredom. [10:21] But... I have no friends. [10:21] couldnt you just embed a regular old image for your distro badge? [10:21] Hey #! Ubuntu is freezing couple of seconds from time to time, dmesg mentions "exception Emask 0x0 SAct ..." Hardware is Samsung N140 Netbook by forums metion this to happen also on N130 an NC10 [10:21] ronald1: add your user to plugdev maybe than solve your problem [10:21] is it safe to try 910 yet?

[10:22] Balsaq: thats the point of this channel :) to help with problems.. [10:22] People complain. Period. :-) [10:22] anyone make gantt charts with any free software? if so id like to know what you use [10:22] i need to make a ghannt chart for a class [10:23] dryg, errrr, well if I want it as my main picture I could..

[10:23] Balsaq: then dont upgrade if you dont want to. [10:23] glick: If non-free is okay, veopoject.com too. [10:23] sounds great! [10:23] Balsaq, I had similar fears before upgrading, mostly about my wifi card continuing to work [10:24] But all is well [10:24] ahhh, thats how i am === yamokidzu-it is now known as lohoubb-it [10:24] 904 is just so good [10:24] live cd's are a good way to test.. or insstall to a flash drive [10:24] another great idear [10:24] glick: Oh, for class then openproj suffices. [10:24] dryg, I have no idea.... [10:24] Most linux distro upgrades are security related however, so I felt that outweighed the risk [10:24] cool thanks [10:24] is openproj in the repos? [10:24] I don't think so. [10:24] people had the same complaints/rants about when they upgraded to 9.04 :) so it never ends [10:24] damn [10:25] glick: openproj.org [10:25] ohh...never thought about the security thing? what kind of security are we taking about here? [10:25] ShazbotMcNasty, [10:25] Where's xorg.conf in Karmic? Ubuntu is only assigning 8MB of memory to my intel chipset and after googling some I found I apparently have to edit a line in xorg.conf to change this. The guide says it's in /etc/x11/xorg.conf but I can't find it there. Searching the system shows a xorg.conf.5.gz, protected, in usr/share/man/man5. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that. [10:25] like hacker security? is that what you mean dryg? [10:25] glick: I think there's a deb for it though. [10:25] Хай пипл [10:26] well im not exactly a big contributor to the project Balsaq, so i couldnt tell you specifics.

[10:27] Balsaq, when an exploit is discovered, the developers of the software release a patch to fix it usually [10:27] so staying up to date keeps you less vulnerable [10:27] sorry [10:27] i miss [10:28] hmm planner looks good its part of the gnome project fcuk112 ?

[10:53] linxeh: it works with cheese... not jmf [10:53] boring families living in the suburbs living boring little lives [10:53] brig: right. why didnt you say that when asked ? :P [10:53] IRC isn't supposed to be "family-friendly" [10:53] LinuxHacker1337, you're not obliged to stay here. you're welcome to leave if you dont wish to abide by the rules. [10:53] LinuxHacker1337: nobody forces you to stay here [10:53] !guidelines [10:53] The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [10:53] netbook remix is kind of a disappointment [10:54] LinuxHacker1337: irc is supposed to be anything the channel / network operators desire. [10:54] linxeh: sorry... i dident want to give a complete history... should i now? [10:54] i cant believe they took the convert to classic desktop option out [10:54] your stuck with the UNR desktop [10:54] brig: no, but you were specifically asked if it was working on linux, and you repeatedly talked about solaris (which is irrelavent). [10:54] You couldinstall ubuntu-desktop package glick [10:54] which is bareable for about 1 week [10:54] eh, you can't cuss anywhere. it's just annoying. the internet is supposed to be the one place you can always cuss.

[10:55] don't feed trolls, kick/ban them [10:55] IRC is supposed to be the wild wild west. :-P [10:55] brig: is your machine 32 or 64 bit ? [10:55] glick: gnome3 sort of [10:55] linxeh: 32 [10:55] oh [10:56] brig: heh :/ [10:56] LinuxHacker1337, you dont have to understand why. you just have to comply.

[11:02] dr_willis: sounds spot on to me, thanks :-) [11:02] hol1: its a pseudonym for x86_64 or 64bit x86 instructions [11:02] linxeh: ??? why is your ${NEVER_USED_ENV} unset? [11:02] Only a fact that the system is 64-bit one? [11:02] hol1: will run on only 64bit cpus, including intel 64 [11:02] linxeh: OK [11:02] brig: clearly you can't follow instructions then. the JMF installation instructions CLEARLY state to set both of those variables. [11:03] ActionParsnip29: and will it run 64-bit Celeron?

[11:14] ikonia, 8.04 [11:14] xt3mp0r: from a stability/support point of view, 8.04 is your winner, if you want later versions of applications, 9.10 is your best bet [11:15] ikonia, alright..thanks a lot :) I will stick with 8.04 [11:15] Oh come onnnn someone must know how to reload the menus === alexis is now known as mon_pseudo [11:16] conb123: I think you need to be more specific.

[11:20] forgot the cmd ;) [11:20] ikonia: no errors--the network just nevers shows up in the GNOME desktop. Plus I tried from the command line. It is a user issues. [11:20] adarof: first thing is to get the chipset model [11:21] jsather: what command exactly are you doing to test this [11:21] hello, good morning all, [11:21] ssh, ping, links, firefox [11:22] jsather: ok - so give me an example of the ssh command you're using ? [11:22] also, i have some problems with the settings file settings.json. I edit it but then it is reloaded from somewhere with the same options [11:22] first of all, I just installed ubuntu, but the problem is I want change the main screen login password [11:22] i have a little problem.. my a key is not working, and xev does not throw an "KeyPress" event but just "FocusIn"/"FocusOut".. so i guess it does not even send a proper keycode.. [11:22] User shows red x on the network icon, root shows it normally. [11:22] Does the preload package actually do anything useful? If I look at $ free I can see that a big chunk of memory is already taken up by cached programs. [11:22] I tried typing passwd in the terminal [11:22] hi everybody use a Xubuntu? I have a little trouble with ntfs-disks in Gigolo [11:22] It is a premission problem, I'm sure [11:22] jsather: if you keep ignoring my requests for debugging - I can't help [11:22] but it s still using the old password [11:22] ikonia, dmesg offeres FUJITSU MHZ2160BH G2, but I think this is the hdd not the chipset ... [11:22] what do I do?

[11:24] adarof: that seems a pretty main stream chipset [11:24] i'm looking for a file called ascii.pf2 .. does anyone have it and can send it to me? [11:24] try ro reinstall them then? [11:25] font/size [11:25] Here's my problem: I have installed Windows 7 after Ubuntu 9.10 and I can't reinstall Grub using the tutorial in ubuntuforums [11:25] I can SSH from my laptop to my desktop (the one having the issues). Even with a normal user logged in to the desktop, the network is up. [11:25] ikonia, yeah - think so ...should be in nearly every netbook ;-) [11:25] athlan: just try to reinstall them? [11:25] The problem is that normal users logged in to the desktop can't get network access--but root can. [11:26] athlan: or you mean in firefox or something? [11:26] jsather: so why did you say ssh ssh was a problem [11:26] jsather: as I said - define can't get access to the network [11:26] The fonts are working. its just that i tried out a new desktop theme, which blurred up my settings [11:26] Hello there everyone [11:26] yo [11:26] anybody here know if there is a logfile for grub? [11:27] Zteam: there isn't [11:27] zteam, no [11:27] argh.... :-( [11:27] <_Narc_> Hey, I'd appreciate if someone could give me a way to filter updates to uninstall the proposed updates I applied yesterday. Thanks. [11:27] Zteam The fonts are working. its just that i tried out a new desktop theme, which blurred up my settings [11:27] Zteam, nope [11:28] I installed git-core and git-svn. git svn clone https://someserver/somerepo/someproject appears to work but fails at the end with fatal: unable to run git-svn. I can confirm that there is no executable called git-svn, but, say, git svn help works. [11:28] Any suggestions? [11:28] ikonia: I log in as a normal user and it can't seem to see the network--only root can. This was a post 9.04 to 9.10 upgrade [11:28] so that means that i can't see any errors that happens in grub? [11:28] jsather: stop saying "can't use the network" - explain what you're doing to use the network [11:28] zteam, you could if you did each command one at a time at grub's command-line [11:28] mapreduce: what happens if you just run git clone xxx? [11:28] !git [11:28] Git is a distributed revision control/software code management project created by Linus Torvalds. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) [11:29] Zteam: some output in /var/log/user.log [11:29] ikonia: but I can ssh from another computer, so the network is up on that computer. That was what I was talking about. [11:29] not in any way from linux [11:29] Zteam would you possibly take a look at your settings, if you havent changed them? [11:29] fcuk112: That won't help as there's no way to refer to an svn repository via a git URL. [11:29] jsather: then explain to me one of the commands that is NOT working [11:30] any answer for me? [11:30] ikonia: It is a user account issue. Root has network, the netowrk is up for remote computers getting access. Only local accounts on the computer don't have netowrk access. [11:30] jsather: tell me what is NOT working [11:30] jsather: give me an example of a command that is NOT working [11:30] jsather: stop saying "it's not working" tell me what "it" is [11:30] tasker: the thing is that i'm trying to read a error message that happens before grub even list my kernels (menu.lst), but it's just flashing before i have a chance to read it [11:30] mapreduce: what if you specify http instead of https [11:31] I want to change the front screen password but it is still reversing to the old password [11:31] i think it says something about my harddrives firmware or something [11:31] after I typed sudo su [11:31] fcuk112: The repository is only set up for https; a browser will get a 404. [11:31] ikonia: ping, nslookup, etc. The network icon on the gnome bar is had a red x (vs. the root version which is fine) [11:31] ok .. what that is is grub displaying what filesystem type it found on the drive [11:31] not an error [11:32] jsather: how are you logging into gnome as root ? [11:32] Zteam: ubuntu 9.10 using GRUB 2, maybe something is different ? [11:32] tasker: okey, i could have sworn that it say something about my disk firmware [11:32] mapreduce: maybe you can try asking in #git. [11:33] fcuk112: dpkg -L reveals a binary for git-svn in some directory that's not on the path. [11:33] if it does say firmwatr [11:33] fcuk112: I'm trying sticking that on the PATH. [11:33] zx1986: it happend in 9.04 as well [11:33] ikonia: root right now, but my normal user fails across the board [11:33] fcuk112: I asked in #git before #ubuntu. [11:33] zteam: you could alwasy try to his [pause] or [scroll lock] on the keyboard really quickly as the machine starts [11:33] I want to copy all my music from my ubuntu desktop to my ubuntu laptop. Do I really need Samba to share the files since I dont want to connect to a windows machine or is there an easier way to network ubuntu machines? [11:33] Zteam: oh! [11:33] jsather: listen to the questions I'm asking [11:33] jsather: "how do you login to gnome as root" [11:34] hey [11:34] tasker: i did try the pause key before, however i didn't tried scroll lock [11:34] can someone help me please [11:34] ikonia: sudo su -; passwd whatever [11:34] ikonia: enable root login ? [11:34] :) [11:34] how disable/prevent access to some websites on ubuntu? please help [11:34] how do i install tar.gz file [11:34] i extracted it [11:34] may someone tell me the default font settings for ubuntu karmic, default theme? [11:34] jsather: ok - so when you switch user, does the gnome desktop network icon suddenly wake up and not have the red X in it ? [11:35] DSheth, inside the tar.gz there should be a README or a INSTALL [11:35] ikonia: yep [11:35] !ask | DSheth [11:35] DSheth: 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. :-) [11:35] just look at appearence - preferences [11:35] tasker: i even ran the manufacters harddrive testing tool on the drive, and it consider the drive to fine [11:35] please [11:35] how disable/prevent access to some websites on ubuntu? please help [11:35] zteam: then it's probably just what i mentioned [11:35] jsather: so as a normal user if you do "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" what happens ? [11:35] ikonia: this was a post upgrade issue. [11:35] lohoubb-it, that depends on your web browser moreso than the operating system [11:35] Yeah maybe... [11:36] can someone tell me what this error from dmesg means after inserting and trying to play a dvd ? "[15396.875451] sr 1:0:0:0: [sr0] Add.

[12:55] ace: How the F did you reach hardware drivers without being able to use your keyboard nor mouse? [12:55] hi friends can anyone help me to install flash on ubuntu ... i cant see googlefinance graphs without it [12:55] sebsebseb: kde tends to be quite a bit more resource hungry than gnome at this time [12:56] drbobb: well I got 1GB RAM, so should be ok [12:56] kyentei, USB keyboard and mouse.. Now can you help? [12:56] sidd_: you can just find it on the adobe flash website (.deb package) [12:56] drbobb: I think /etc/default/cpufrequtils according to /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils [12:56] sebsebseb: on my laptop w/ 1GB RAM it's actually quite sluggish [12:56] is there a way to know for sure when the last fsck was done? [12:56] what command is required for compiling kernels? [12:56] sidd_: use the repos.. to install flash - dont get it from the adobe site.. [12:56] !flash | sidd_ [12:56] sidd_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [12:56] penguin42: thx a lot, I'll check it out [12:56] drbobb: This machine came with Vista Home Premium which has ran alright on it, so I am sure KDE 4.3 or whatever will be fine [12:56] repos === DJones_ is now known as DJones [12:57] sebsebseb: like I said YMMV, just my experience [12:57] sidd_: or just install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package it will install flash and other stuff you want most likely [12:57] drbobb: What does YMMV mean? [12:57] sebsebseb: your mileage may vary [12:57] kyentei, do you have an answer or were you just curious? [12:58] drbobb: Dr_Willis I might just end up using KDE 3 for a while, get the ppa and yep. Kubuntu KDE 3 is so nice! [12:58] Hi my login screen is the wrong resolution. I use 9.10 64 bit. Where can I find the settings for the login screen? [12:58] 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' how can i install this [12:58] i have just migrated from windows [12:59] sidd_, with sudo\ [12:59] sorry [12:59] sebsebseb: indeed it is. no more bugfixes or new features are forthcoming for kde3 though [12:59] drbobb: Dr_Willis should be able to run later KDE 4 apps in that as well so :) [12:59] sidd_, welome [12:59] sidd_, look in synaptic package manager [12:59] its int the repos sidd [12:59] welcome* [12:59] @sidd Welcome to the jungle. [12:59] sidd_: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" (in terminal) [12:59] #join maemo [12:59] drbobb: well there's a remix CD for 9.04 and 9.10, plus there's a ppa for 9.04 so I assume there is for 9.10 as well [12:59] yeah thanks [13:00] i dont understand cli and all [13:00] drbobb: they made something for 8.10 as well [13:00] please help me with steps [13:00] kyentei, do you have an answer or were you just curious? [13:00] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html sidd_ here is a good guide [13:00] sidd_: whats to not understand. :) you type the command.. it does it.. he just gave you the whole command [13:00] "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" [13:00] sebsebseb: that's great, but kde3 being proclaimed obsolete upstream means more and more stuff will break with time [13:00] sidd_, system, terminal, type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras === el is now known as Guest46479 === root is now known as Guest81249 [13:01] drbobb: I guess I am getting a bit bored of Gnome and so on, well I have been using it since 2004. I wonder what Gnome 3 will be like, but that apparantly won't be ready until September. [13:01] that will be abotu 300 or so mb of downloads sidd_ :) [13:01] ace: Probably just curious. If only USB works, I'm wondering wether these usb-ports are on your mainboard or on a PCI card. [13:02] penguin42: /etc/default/cpufrequtils there is no such file on my system [13:02] drbobb: Why would more stuff brake in it over time? [13:02] could someone send me his menu.lst file so I could use it for a sample because i've lost mine? [13:02] drbobb: I mean it's mature and stable, so what does it need now if anything security updates? [13:02] sebsebseb: cause it relies on external stuff that tends to change over time [13:02] kyentei, I'm not sure.. Everything worked great with 9.04 I did a complete reinstall with 9.10 and been having problems. I've been trying to fix it for 2 days now [13:02] drdobb: Does /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils ? [13:02] drbobb: such as? [13:02] I mean stuff like IM protocols and such [13:02] ace: Have you tried installing 9.04 and then upgrading to 9.10? [13:02] Hi all, I have no sound, is it possible to give me a hand to fix this? lshw gives me this http://paste.ubuntu.com/318788/. Thanks [13:02] hey [13:03] penguin42: nope. [13:03] kyentei, I can't get 9.04 to install [13:03] drbobb: oh right well, I would/will be using it as a desktop GUI, and that's about it [13:03] hi all - is there a way to activate the center scroll wheel so i can scroll from desktop to desktop [13:03] my recorder is always muted [13:03] ace: Then how did you install it previously? [13:03] how can i unmute it? [13:03] hey folks - I'm using a 9.04 desktop with a TV as display but it needs to be turned on and switched to HDMI before starting the computer, otherwise it won't be recognized at all. Is there a way to save the X configuration once the TV is recognized? [13:04] drbobb: Try installing the cpufrequtils package, it won't create the /etc/default file - but it should read it if created, there are some comments in the /etc/init.d file - not read them though [13:04] seems like the X display configuration is done dnymically at the moment [13:04] drbobb: mix in some KDE 4 and Gnome apps, and got a pretty nice set up I expect, if doing that [13:04] sebsebseb: I wanted to stick to kde3 but finally gave up and switched to gnome [13:04] could someone send me his menu.lst file so I could use it for a sample because i've lost mine? [13:04] hthtrehtrehrth: you probably have an example menu.lst in /usr/share/doc/grub/examples [13:04] can anyone please tell me how to unmute my recorder??? [13:04] kyentei, I mean after installing 9.10 I can't get 9.04 to install again. It hangs up even if I try to run live cd [13:04] Package ubuntu-restricted-extras is not available, but is reffered to by another package [13:04] blackshell: gnome? [13:04] drbobb: Why? [13:04] epinky:yes [13:04] penguin42: yeah I can but I'm not sure whether gnome won't override that setting on graphical login [13:04] Hi all, I have no sound, is it possible to give me a hand to fix this? lshw gives me this http://paste.ubuntu.com/318788/. Thanks [13:05] ace: That's really odd. If your mouse and keyboard worked fine during the 9.10 installation, something might have gone wrong with your hardware. [13:05] this messege came up when i gave the command Package ubuntu-restricted-extras is not available, but is reffered to by another package [13:05] blackshell: gnome-volume-control [13:05] drbobb: Ah good question, not sure [13:05] ace: Try using a live-usb. Wondering how that turns out. === phyton is now known as kernelLove [13:05] sebsebseb: cause I tried kde4 for a couple months, but it was annoying me quite a bit [13:05] epinky:even if i unmute the microphone,,and when i close it it mutes again [13:06] Anyone? [13:06] sebsebseb: too sluggish, too buggy [13:06] sebsebseb: and yes I was at 4.3 [13:06] drbobb: yep it's been buggy or whatever untill like KDE 4.3 or so they say [13:06] epinky : thanks for your help yesterday, right now i dont have any problem with _ blinking after grub.. [13:06] kyentei, they actually didn't work when it came to the screen to put in my info. I had to restart with USB keyboard and mouse. I was hoping it would work once installed [13:06] blackshell: then user "alsamixer" [13:06] billiard are you there?> [13:06] kyentei, what is live-usb?

[13:08] drbobb: last time I tried it was like "geek" loads of features, would have to customize it to get something I would be happy enough with. KDE 3 as a desktop environment GUI is more Windows like, with the menu and such, but yep better. As a result I been thinking about maybe providing it as an option on the family computer for my brother/s, for now anyway. That one is also staying on 9.04 for now, I really am not impressed with 9.10.

[13:09] ace: Have you tried using google to see if there are any other people dealing with the same issue and have the same motherboard? It's really odd that a 9.04 CD won't work after installing 9.10. And even more odd that usb works, but the old ports for keyboards and mice don't [13:09] sidd_: 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and try the command again [13:09] ace similar to usb startup creator but more effective in my opinion, if you have jaunty then it is in the repos [13:09] kyentei, yes, I've been searching for 2 days now with no luck [13:09] nobodies ever impressed with a new release until all the bug fixes are done [13:09] Hi all, I have no sound, is it possible to give me a hand to fix this? lshw gives me this http://paste.ubuntu.com/318788/.

[13:24] linuxghost: this kind of thing has happended to me before [13:25] vincent_: who said there is a package called v412 ? [13:25] hello [13:25] ikonia I installed it before I upgraded to 9,10 [13:25] sebsebseb: what the solution???? [13:25] vincent_: what package did you use to install it ? [13:25] ikonia: (which was a bad move) [13:25] ok this works for me: smbclient \\\\server\\share -U fakeuser [13:25] but this does not (inside auto.misc) share -fstype=smbfs,username=fakeuser,password=fakepass,uid=1000,gid=1000 ://server/share [13:25] is there something obviously wrong here? [13:25] someone has hacked my machine [13:25] i need help [13:25] switchgirl: how do you know ? [13:25] sooo. is there a special channel for pulse audio related problems? i cant get my soundoutput to work properly. creative x-fi ubuntu 9.10 pulseaudio. works but EXTREMLY poor performance, crackles when cpu load gets higher and stuff [13:25] vincent_: at what percentage or roughly was it when the install stopped? [13:25] i have removed ssh and vinagre but they are still in my machine [13:26] vincent_: whoops [13:26] switchgirl: how do you know ? [13:26] anyone have a good solution for vnc+gdm in Ubuntu 9.10? [13:26] deci_, I was having the same issue and wound up just uninstalling pulseaudio and using alsamixer instead [13:26] sebsebseb at the beginning [13:26] linuxghost1: at what percentage or roughly was it when the install stopped? also when you try to log in or boot up what happens? [13:26] sebsebseb nothing really happened yet [13:26] vincent_: what package name did you install it as in 9.04 ? [13:26] ikonia, when i tried to shut down i was presented with a window that said system policy stops shutting down when other users are logged in [13:26] vincent_: no I meant to message linuxghost1 just then [13:27] I need some help, I'm a total linux noob and I'm on my first install. I've got ubuntu installed just fine, but now grub won't recognize my vista partition :/ [13:27] Memran: what's the error? maybe you should try with "cifs" [13:27] ikonia I don't think I can see this in the logs anymore, can I? [13:27] switchgirl: you can have more than one session open, applications can count as a user too [13:27] Zebedi: You installed 9.10 yes? [13:27] switchgirl: that doesn't mean your machine has been exploited [13:27] sebsebseb yes [13:27] vincent_: did you use a package to install iot ? [13:27] snowveil, i was thinking about that too, its really getting frustrating. so i guess removing pulse and then freshly installing alsa does the trick, since alsa has the x-fi support now? [13:27] install it ? [13:27] ikonia yes [13:27] vincent_: ok - so open the package manager and search [13:27] hey [13:28] thanks epinky, i can see no errors in /var/log/messages. do i simply replace -fstype=smbfs with -fstype=cifs ? [13:28] I mean, not from Synaptic, it was something downloaded [13:28] ikonia ^ [13:28] deci_, not sure about the x-fi support. But my card was having severe cracking and buffering issues and alsa is working 100% [13:28] Zebedi: 9.10 uses Grub 2, earlier versions use Grub. the file for 9.10's menu lst is config something I think. Should be able to edit that one like the old Grub menu lst and add Vista. [13:28] !grub2 | Zebedi [13:28] Zebedi: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [13:28] vincent_: ok - so why would you be able to use "apt-get" to remove it if you didn't install it from a package ? [13:28] i can hear them too a unusual sound from my machine [13:28] Is there a way to connect to Windows 7 from Karmic? [13:28] ikonia, I'm still rather new to linux [13:28] Zebedi: I'll have a look for you, I got Grub 2 and 9.10 as well [13:28] switchgirl: then re-install your OS if you are genuinly concerned [13:29] Hi friends [13:29] hmm. i guess i gonna try to get rid of pulse then. thanks for the hint :) ill be back! [13:29] switchgirl, what does it sounl like [13:29] how can i use the microphone array of my dell inspiron 1520 with karmic?? [13:29] 2o2 med+ server avi [13:29] I have a SOny VAIO VGN CR240 with Ubuntu 7.04 [13:29] ikonia, can't I just install v4l over it? [13:29] norbert_: ? [13:29] Memran: yep, could you show your auto.master and auto.misc? [13:29] vincent_: depends what you've done [13:29] do you know when can i download a driver for the web cam ? [13:29] I got a message on a forum saying that my webcam only works with v4l1 not, 2 [13:29] not 2 [13:29] tanamania_ turn it on unmote in from the sound properties icon [13:29] unmute [13:29] I checked the modules [13:30] I'm looking for suggestions for a graphics card to run karmic dual head on my HP Proliant ML110 G5 - I'm going to be using it as a desktop machine and it can accomodate a full height card [13:30] ikonia: I got a message on a forum saying that my webcam only works with v4l [13:30] Is there a way to connect to Windows 7 from Karmic? [13:30] and tried to find in google .. [13:30] Thanks epinky!!! :D [13:30] argonaut: define connect [13:30] cifs worked :D [13:30] but i don't have luck [13:30] qualcuno parla italiano? [13:30] ScabbyMadman: can u plz illustrate.. i am new to ubuntu.. [13:30] !it > Piripicchia [13:30] Piripicchia, please see my private message [13:31] Memran: you're welcome :) , glad you've solved it [13:31] Amr: have you tried samba? [13:31] yes [13:31] like someone is logged it "dur dur pause dur dur" [13:31] but you already knew that [13:31] and it's not working:S [13:31] does anyone have hibernation problems? [13:31] I can see the windows 7 computer [13:31] but I can't connect to it:S [13:31] give me some peppernoten [13:31] although when trying to connect to the printer [13:31] I can't [13:31] sinterklass: i used to have hibernation probs, but they went away after upgrading to karmic [13:31] tanamania_ on the top panel there should be a speaker icon right click on that icon to bring up the sound preferences [13:31] hey if anyone awnserd my question, i didnt see it because my irc crapped out [13:31] ikonia, will I need to install a fresh new ubuntu over my old one? [13:32] vincent_: I don't see why [13:32] whenever I try connecting with Samba it tells me "Failed to retrieve share list from server" [13:32] ikonia, that doesn't seem necessary right? [13:32] <_franziski_> 9.10 - network manager applet goes into loop when I try to connect to a WLAN. I enter the right password but dont connect. Here my screenshot: http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/5488/immaginest.jpg [13:32] ScabbyMadman: yeah done that.. what then?? [13:32] Zebedi: the file I was on about is there yes, and not like the old one. It says not to edit the file, but I think your still meant to to add your Vista entry, plus I think there might be a way to add one from Grub itself. Grub 2 is pretty new and so some of us don't know it yet, as well as we did the old one. You can read up a bit about Grub, ask your question again later here again and someone else may be able to help, but you can also [13:32] try #grub for help [13:32] Hey. After an update Jaunty hangs in bootsplash. Any idea how to fix this? [13:32] sinterklass: laptop? which version of ubuntu? What are the symptoms? [13:32] tanamania_ explore the options for input seeif the mic appears and if its muted...set the level [13:32] !grub2 [13:32] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [13:33] ok, thanks seb [13:33] _franziski_, using correct security settings/password? is the wireless station hidden? [13:33] switchgirl type this in a terminal. Whats listed [13:33] ikonia, I think if I have the command needed for compiling the kernel I'm fine for the moment, at least I can continue, so what is it? [13:33] sorry finger is the command [13:33] Dr_Willis: I already did that Zebedi is new to Ubuntu, and wants to add an entry for Vista, I expect you can probably help him/her actsaulley? [13:33] ScabbyMadman: its unmuted.. still its not working.. itried to record using cheese but my sound wont record.. [13:33] desnaike, and users [13:33] Amr: I am no expert.. I only know you can use samba or the 'Places->Network' (which I think uses some sub-system of samba) [13:33] hej :) [13:33] sebsebseb: grub2 is supposed to auto-see/add such things no need to edit anything [13:34] vincent_: you don't want to compile a kernel [13:34] tanamania_ did you try using the sound recorder app as well? [13:34] Just to make myself self feel better im going to state it again. I was able to set up a TightVNC server and my friend was able to connect. but when he does connect all he sees is my wall paper, no pointer or windows i have open, any way to fix this? [13:34] Dr_Willis: well so was the old Grub I thought? ,but yet sometimes menu lst needed editing to add something [13:34] neil_d: Both of them give me "Failed to retrieve share list from server," does it work for you? [13:34] <_franziski_> duffydack: correct settings/password (always loop):( [13:34] advix -w [13:34] Amr: ? [13:34] ikonia, this is what it says at my terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/319280/ [13:34] sebsebseb: no.. the INSTALL saw/added the stuff in the old realse.. in 9.10 Just running update-grub SHOULD scan all drives and add the entries for any OS's it can find [13:35] adios [13:35] ScabbyMadman: Apparently, i just increased the input volume in that window and yipeeee, i am able to record sound now.. :) thanks a lot.. :) [13:35] Hey. After an update Jaunty hangs in bootsplash. Any idea how to fix this? [13:35] Dr_Willis: Ok well Zebedi is the one wanting the help with Grub 2 [13:35] ikonia, so I'm not actually going to compile the kernel, I think the installation program just needs to know it to make things work together [13:35] Wazzzaaa: uhmm many people got issues after upgrading 9.04 to 9.10 [13:35] tanamania, your welcome ..setting the level in the app and the contro applet helps [13:35] _franziski_, have you set a password in keyring? [13:36] sebsebseb: UPDATE, not opgrade [13:36] ikonia, do you still want to help me? [13:36] Wazzzaaa: Is there a fix, sure clean install that will probably fix it, is there another solution? I don't know [13:36] vincent_: you're not making any sense in what you want to do - more so when you're new to linux [13:36] Dr_Willis: what do I run? This is a fresh install of ubuntu [13:36] _franziski_, I would suggest using WICD if you cant find a fix. Thats how I fixed a buddies problem.. NM was locking his pc up.. [13:36] I had this before. But forgot how to fix this... already tried xfix in recovery [13:37] Amr: just open your firefox and put on address bar: smb://ip.of.your.machine/ [13:37] ikonia, I know that instaling from synaptic is better, I shouldn't have done the other thing.. are you telling me that in the same directory the kernel is in I'll be able to find the v4l2 files? [13:37] epinky: you mean the file manager.. not firefox? [13:37] Zebedi: just 'update-grub' is supposed to see/add windows if its found [13:37] no [13:37] say does regular Karmic 9.10 work out of the box an an eeepc 1000HE? [13:37] where did I say that ? [13:38] you said something along the line [13:38] Dr_Willis: nope I mean Firefox [13:38] ScabbyMadman: probably, but the netbook version should be used really on netbooks [13:38] hello guys, anyone of you use gnome MPlayer? [13:38] Whats the propper time to wait before reposting my question here ^^? [13:38] vincent_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/319280/ [13:38] epinky: ieve never seen firefox handle smb:// entries.. gnome file manager can. may have to try some time [13:38] oops [13:38] <_franziski_> duffydack: yes [13:38] vincent_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [13:38] isolat3dsh33p: I have had it installed in the past and used a few times. ,but Mplayer isn't part of Gnome as far as I know [13:39] Dr_Willis: on firefox works just fine :) [13:39] hello i just installed torrentflux on my 500gb hdd server but when i login to torrentflux it says i only have 20gb of free space y is that??? [13:39] sebsebseb, yeah ..thing is the 10" screen on the 1000HE is good enough for the regular desktop...for my needs at least [13:39] epinky: thats a neat trick. Never seen that one befor [13:39] smb://localhost :) [13:39] ScabbyMadman: ok, but the netbook version is quite similar to the desktop version I think, and has a proper kernel for netbooks [13:39] Lo everyone. [13:39] ScabbyMadman: as far as I know [13:39] i'm trying to reuilbd openoffice packages with my own stuff, i get this error for some reason /bin/bash: line 11: ../debian/scripts/move-if-change: Permission denied the weird thing is that i do have permission [13:40] sebsebseb, is it a good software? I wan't better mplayer than totem, something that have media library. [13:40] Tried asking in #firefox, but it seems pretty dead, so I'll ask here instead. [13:40] yeah the wifi modules and the hotkey stuff [13:40] <_franziski_> i'll uninstalling network manager in favor of wicd [13:40] isolat3dsh33p: ok not mplayer then [13:40] Is there a way to pre-load a firefox instance, so it opens immediately when I go to open it from the menu? [13:40] isolat3dsh33p: is this for videos? music? or both? [13:40] hey folks - I'm using a 9.04 desktop with a TV as display but it needs to be turned on and switched to HDMI before starting the computer, otherwise it won't be recognized at all. Is there a way to save the X configuration once the TV is recognized? [13:40] _franziski_, ok. good choice [13:40] epinky: that dosent work in windows :) [13:40] Infin1ty: pastebin what you are doing exactly [13:40] seems like the X display configuration is done dnymically at the moment [13:40] jrib, i simply copied some .tar.gz files into the src dir in the ooo-build dir [13:40] Hello there folks! I've already installed for ubuntu 9.10 and my usb drive is not working [13:40] Dr_Willis: of course it does not :) [13:41] <_franziski_> 9.10 - my grub (1,97 beta 4) stucks on Ubuntu option if I press Enter: I have always to wait for a little time before booting [13:41] Infin1ty: so you're getting an error copying files? [13:41] videos, for both maybe better. :) [13:41] jrib, i need them in the build dir of openoffice, i haven't touch anything else [13:41] jrib, no [13:41] jrib, i ran debuild [13:41] epinky: was wondering if it was a firefox specific thing or not., :) [13:41] what should I do? [13:41] jrib, i have no idea why i get permission denied i can't see anything wrong in there [13:42] I've already installed for ubuntu 9.10 and my usb drive is not working... [13:42] !gnome-shell [13:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome-shell [13:42] jrib, i used apt-get source openoffice.org, then i added some .tar.gz files in the src directory, reran debuild [13:42] isolat3dsh33p: I think Ryhtombox does video as well, but in that case it's more of a music player really. Maybe you know VLC from Windows, well yes you can have VLC with Desktop Linux. There's also Banshee and Exaile. [13:42] hello i just installed torrentflux on my 500gb hdd server but when i login to torrentflux it says i only have 20gb of free space y is that??? [13:42] does anybody know how solve id? [13:42] !gnome shell [13:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome shell [13:42] sebsebseb, rhythmbox dont do video [13:42] What's a live CD for? I thought it was just for testing, but someone said otherwise. [13:42] isolat3dsh33p: and Amarok a KDE app, so if running Ubuntu/Gnome and you install it and have never put KDE stuff on before it will want to [13:42] I was able to set up a TightVNC server and my friend was able to connect. but when he does connect all he sees is my wall paper, no pointer or windows i have open, any way to fix this? [13:42] ScabbyMadman: oh ok [13:42] vallhalla81, what are youy asking? [13:42] thanks ikonia [13:42] jr200747: is the drive partitioned? and all partitions mounted? [13:43] davidboy: It's useful for if you bugger up your system as well. [13:43] !vlc | isolat3dsh33p [13:43] isolat3dsh33p: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [13:43] VLC don't play well with compiz-fusion is i'm not mistaken. [13:43] sebsebseb, um;ess there are some plugins [13:43] can any one point me to a page where i can get gnome shell working please [13:43] and about pen drives. My ubuntu 9.10 is not workin [13:43] vlc is the best player by far for videos [13:43] just pure hassle free [13:43] umode -w [13:43] davidboy: Completely clean system, without any configuration faults/whatever. [13:43] vallhalla81, like the bash sell? [13:43] ScabbyMadman: trying to get gnome shell working [13:43] suffice: agreed about vlc [13:43] * duffydack prefers smplayer and works with compiz. [13:43] Ive moved to vlc from Mplayer for most of my needs these days also. [13:43] why does the command "rrdtool graph test.png -a PNG DEF:percent=test.rrd:percent:AVERAGE" return 0 but create no graph? [13:43] ive no issues with vlc and compiz that ive ever noticed [13:43] ScabbyMadman: not it is like a de [13:43] vallhalla81, you mean a terminal? [13:43] * arghh2d2 prefers mpd/ncmpcpp [13:44] ikonia: there's still a v4l2-0.1 directory in my home dir, it could well be that I installed something from there [13:44] arghh2d2 no it not m8 [13:44] ikonia: but how can I uninstall? [13:44] vallhalla81, like a window with a blinking cursor in text mode? [13:44] davidboy: It's also quite useful for using Linux on computers where you're not allowed to install it, e.g. college ;) [13:44] i'll try vlc then. thanks guys.. :D [13:45] ScabbyMadman: no not like that at all i am very happy with bash for that it is a desktop enviroment [13:45] Infin1ty: instead of playing 20 questions why not just pastebin like I asked? [13:45] isolat3dsh33p: no problem [13:45] any one know how to config a pppoe server ? [13:45] jr200747: i assume you mean it's not partitioned. try typing "df -h" [13:45] ikonia: you're probably wondering why somebody with my intelligence is trying to use linux? [13:45] jrib, i think i found the problem, i will try to solve it, just a sec :) [13:45] ScabbyMadman: well more a window manager [13:45] jrib, thanks anyhow :) [13:45] I was able to set up a TightVNC server and my friend was able to connect. but when he does connect all he sees is my wall paper, no pointer or windows i have open, any way to fix this? [13:45] the_madman: But could you save any files you make onto the live cd? [13:45] using rp-pppoe [13:46] arghh2d2 tyoe that i putty? [13:46] anyone know how to use rp-pppoe? [13:46] davidboy: No, the files are deleted when you shut down. [13:46] type* [13:46] jr200747: in any terminal [13:46] vincent_: forget what is in your home directory - read the link I sent you [13:46] davidboy: It's physically impossible to write to a CD when it's already written to. [13:46] okay let me see what happens [13:46] davidboy: You CAN use the LiveCD to create a LiveUSB, though, which lets you write to it. [13:46] the_madman, unless its multi-session [13:47] the_madman: Thanks [13:47] ScabbyMadman: Hmm? [13:47] if you choose the option "dont close the session" it is aviable to add files to the cd [13:47] yes [13:47] O.o [13:47] !usb | davidboy [13:47] davidboy: 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 [13:47] Hi [13:47] davidboy, the persistent one [13:48] bazhang: Yes, thanks [13:48] But I thought it was a physical limitation of CDs, not being able to write to one that's already written to O.o [13:48] o.O [13:48] jr200747: see if that shows your 500 gb partition. I'm guessing you need some kind of patch to recognize drives that big but nobodies answering you but me and i've never dealt with that issue. [13:48] Or are we talking CDRWs? [13:48] the_madman, but altering a session iinside a multisession might not be possible [13:48] AfterDeath: hi [13:48] the_madman, rewriteable optical media === halil is now known as pentagram [13:49] arghh2d2 pm plz [13:49] hello [13:49] anyone here ?

The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [13:50] may i ask anything ? [13:50] pm jr200747 what? [13:50] ScabbyMadman: But that doesn't work on CDRs, right? [13:50] !ask | pentagram [13:50] pentagram: 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).

[13:51] i am fed up with passwords [13:51] Infin1ty: cool [13:51] the_madman, CDrs too [13:51] there is an autologin option === ares623 is now known as john [13:53] Dr_Willis: thanks for your help. grub-update fixxed it === john is now known as shobeh [13:53] Guys, i have a doubt. So, i would like clear my DNS cache, like windows command "ipconfig /flushdns" How can I do it in my ubuntu guys? [13:53] pentagram: do you mean "sudo"? that's a common practice in Linux [13:54] linuxghost1: you didn't need to go pm. since your new? and your install went bad when you tried to upgrade from 9.04, probably much easier and better for you to just clean install 9.10 or 9.04 [13:54] skeletal: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-clearflush-dns-cache-in-ubuntu.html [13:54] yay, now i can dual boot *wipes sweat off forehead* this linux thing is hard but fun :) [13:54] hello [13:54] I have the rrd database created by "rrdtool create test.rrd -s 60 DS:change:ABSOLUTE:120:U:U DS:percent:ABSOLUTE:120:0:100 RRA:MAX:0.5:1:100 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:100" but I can't get any graphs from it can someone help? [13:54] how do I get the return code from a process run from the bash prompt? === klem_ is now known as gtrtx [13:54] Zebedi: that depends on the distro/distribution Ubuntu is pretty easy to learn for the basics [13:54] hedkandi_: "echo $?" immediately after previous shell finishes [13:55] yeah, that's what I've heard. I'm learning fun things like "use sudo for everything" :) [13:55] hi [13:55] oCean_, ok let me try that [13:55] Zebedi, well, not everything :p [13:55] Zebedi: sudo for command line apps, if you want to run a graphical app as root/admin use gksudo instead [13:56] oCean_, what a clever trick! [13:56] I have some problems with symlinks. [13:56] hehe [13:56] Zebedi: if you need to do several 'root' commands try "sudo -i" first to get a root terminal [13:56] can someone help me ? [13:56] well dpkg-source: error: cannot represent change to openoffice.org-3.1.1/ooo-build/src/readlicense_he.tgz: binary file contents changed , how can i fix this? [13:56] Kheops: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [13:56] or just sudo su [13:56] Kheops: i can't know before you've exposed the problem [13:56] hedkandi_: it should be zero, if the process ended gracefully [13:56] <siliconmeadow> But friend, i dont have o NSCD in my system!!!!!!! [13:56] snowveil: why would be the redundant "sudo su" be "just" compared to the appropriate "sudo -i"? [13:56] Kheops, ask away [13:56] I'm trying to make a symlink and when I access the link in a Browser It dosen't show up. [13:57] <siliconmeadow> I dont have this application here! [13:57] skeletal: i just saw that - sorry I just had a quick check [13:57] okay that's good thanks for the info folks. Full marks for being helpful [13:57] Kheops: how did you create the symlink? [13:57] why wouldn't one su be "appropriate"? [13:57] I'm staring at my windows vista shutdown screen thinking "hurry the fsk up, this takes forever, i want my linux" [13:57] I misspoke with the "just", sorry [13:57] Anybody know if it's possible to pre-load Firefox to memory? [13:57] ln -s /original/path/of/the/file /var/www/another/path. [13:57] Zebedi: Done that a few times. Nightmarish. [13:57] Hello, how do i change the resize and move hotkeys to Meta(windows button) instead of Alt? [13:58] I was able to set up a TightVNC server and my friend was able to connect. but when he does connect all he sees is my wall paper, no pointer or windows i have open, any way to fix this? [13:58] snowveil: i didn't say it's not appropriate, i said it's redundant. you're chaining two programs that do essentially the same thing, and that thing can be done more effectively by just giving sudo the appropriate option [13:58] Zebedi: easy fix for that: uninstall windows [13:58] Zebedi: if you don't use the windows partitions in linux you could hibernate it [13:58] Kheops: I think the web-server needs to be told to follow symlinks. [13:58] ok neil_d [13:58] Zebedi: it might be faster [13:58] tell me how [13:58] LjL, didn't realize that [13:58] how to I make apache2 follow my symlinks ? [13:58] i need the windows partition to run a few applications. [13:59] Kheops, it's in your apache config file [13:59] zash: how would that make windows shut down faster? [13:59] gtrtx : Tell me exactly. [13:59] Zebedi: by not shutting down [13:59] Zebedi: hibernate should be faster, and should give you the grub prompt after booting again [13:59] a configuration, of course It's in a config fille. But tell me where and what I must change. [13:59] Hi, can anybody help me ? i need to automaticly mount my Win Partitions without tipping my Pass ? [13:59] Help, where in Ubuntu do i change the behaviour of Alt+Left mouseclick and Alt+Right mouseclick? [13:59] oh, i see what you mean. [14:00] Kheops, hold on, I've not done it in a while and apache isn't installed at the moment [14:00] Zebedi: as long as you dont mount and change stuff on windows's partitions [14:00] but I may need to pull files out of the windows partition, so not a choice for me [14:00] Kheops: in httpd.conf? Options FollowSymLinks [14:00] Kheops: http://www.maxi-pedia.com/FollowSymLinks [14:00] how do i change gnome to openbox ?

[14:00] Kheops, exactly what epinky said [14:00] does anybody know how to enable root login in xubuntu 9.04.? In 9.10, it's enough to create root password, in 9.04, it says on login that root login is disabled and i don't know how to enable it. [14:00] Hi, can anybody help me ? i need to automaticly mount my Win Partitions without tipping my Pass ? [14:00] jrib : yes [14:01] Zebedi: if you mount it read only, but i don't know for chure [14:01] epinky : I will read. [14:01] meanwhile, my ubuntu loaded, connected to my wireless, and was ready to go faster than windows took to switch from the desktop to the shutdown screens [14:01] hello [14:01] cichlasoma, you dont want to login as root [14:01] philosophe, just check the remember password forever option when you mount them [14:01] why isnt my wlan (intel agn) not working with wireless-n speed??????????????? [14:01] it's not a big deal anyhow, rather just shut down windows completely.. gives it less chance of fsking up [14:01] done [14:02] so..I must write what's in there to my httpd and htaccess ? [14:02] say Wallace_ Hows Grommit? [14:02] How do i turn of Window resizing hotkey combination? HELP!

[14:03] so the problem It's on the apache2 Options. [14:03] bazhang: LOL. do you really think I asked you about that? :-DDD [14:03] Kheops: make a symlink like: ln -s /var/www/somefile.html /var/www/somesymlink.html and see if that works [14:03] why isnt my wlan (intel agn) not working with wireless-n speed??????????????? [14:03] okay, so I'm installing updates (all 92) and my connection speed is around 3kB/s. Is that typical of http://us.archive.ubunto.com? [14:03] how do I make apache2 folow my symlink ? [14:04] k [14:04] Why can't you change the login screen on ubuntu 9.10? Or is the settings just at a new place now? [14:04] philosophe, when you access a windows share the file manager sends apopup asking for your password non? [14:04] wiehan: GDM 2 does not have those features :( [14:04] I have the rrd database created by "rrdtool create test.rrd -s 60 DS:change:ABSOLUTE:120:U:U DS:percent:ABSOLUTE:120:0:100 RRA:MAX:0.5:1:100 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:100" but I can't get any graphs from it can someone help? I have tried "graph test.png -a PNG DEF:percent=test.rrd:percent:AVERAGE" and every variation of this I can think of. [14:04] Kheops, you need something like FollowSymLinks or AllowSymLinks in the section [14:04] ScabbyMadman, yes sir :) [14:04] wiehan: well there's a way to change colours and icons and I think that's it, unless source code is edited [14:05] sebsebseb: Why the HUGE regression in that area? [14:05] so then fill in the info and check the forever option [14:05] wiehan: KDM is pretty nice now, I suggest you try it [14:05] philosophe so then fill in the info and check the forever option [14:05] wiehan: ,because they wanted to re write the program [14:05] wiehan: get cleaner code === root is now known as Guest43811 [14:06] wiehan: apparantly themeing like before, will be later on [14:06] hi, where the c++ source library are installed in ubuntu by default? [14:06] Why would ubuntu make such a huge "regression" - I know it's not really ubuntu but more the gdm folks (I really dunno the inner workings), but I mean, people have come to love the nice custom login screens available alos to add new onmes themselves?? [14:06] jrib : It's working. === hume_ is now known as hume [14:06] I'm using kUbuntu, and have some font size confusion going on [14:07] Kheops: then it's a permissions issue, no? [14:07] docmax: what kind of speed are you getting? [14:07] no [14:07] wiehan: it's not huge imo [14:07] I had to force 96dpi [14:07] ScabbyMadman, i don't get any option when mounting the partition ! i mean i m on the log on screen it has a detail "Drive ...." but no password remebring ! [14:07] gdm sux [14:07] wiehan: well yes, but Ubuntu are meant to follow upstream really, and they already haven't at least once, with the edited fast user account switcher on the top right. shut down and log out and Empathy/Pidgin status [14:07] Zebedi, like 54 mbit [14:07] Kheops: why else would apache follow one symlink but not another [14:07] but still some apps (eg. Terminal) start with huge fonts [14:07] ok, but where are you getting that number from? [14:07] wiehan: which also resulted in shut down and log out being removed from the system menu where they are meant to be, unless fusa is removed [14:07] jrib : mabey because It's directly in the www folder [14:08] philosophe, what are you using a lonux desktop to mount a real windows box or....? [14:08] Zebedi, module is "iwlagn" [14:08] linux [14:08] Kheops: that's true. Is that what the documentation on FollowSymlinks says it does? [14:08] What I've have done It was in /var/www/example/test/file [14:08] ScabbyMadman, i'm using the gnome [14:08] how do i change gnome desktop manager ? [14:08] anyone installed server edition before? which kernel should I select...the generic one, or the specific version number one? [14:08] septia [14:08] Zebedi, my transfer speed is much lower than in windows [14:08] I've been using ubuntu since 7.10, have always been happy. I also know there are always people that says the following, but I just have to: This realease does not live up to my expectations and is actually quite disappointing.. [14:08] need help plz. since the 9.10 patch my resolution is set to 800 by 600 and I cant go higher. The weird thing is that one time on 5 I boot my computer and i have all the other resolutions back. After reboot, back to 800 x 600 [14:08] wiehan: sometimes Ubuntu messes something up for some of us and it's entirely there fault, other times it's upstream, but usaully upstream don't mess things up [14:09] philosophe, and its a windows machine that serves the samba/windows shares? [14:09] It's not working, I think, because I've made the symlinks In subfolders of www. [14:09] It's there possible ? [14:09] docmax: sounds like a driver issue, have you searched for a driver? [14:09] Kheops: did you see my question? [14:09] kheops: did you add the FollowSymLinks option and restart apache? [14:09] Even the packaging for the new cd from the shipit service is really ugly and clearly much less appealing the than the last 4-5 I've seen [14:09] the user sinsuna is spamming [14:09] I don't understand what are you trying to say [14:09] Zebedi, its the driver ubuntu auto-detected [14:10] kill -HUP [apache] [14:10] ScabbyMadman, i don't understand :S i 'm using a dual boot and i'm on my ubuntu now ! when i choose to browse a windows disk it ask me for my password :/ === exsanet is now known as cew [14:10] scabby: apachectl graceful :) [14:10] Wallace_ : no, I don't know what Options and where to put them, because my httpd.conf It's empty.

From my experience (all 2 hrs of it), the auto-detect drivers are biased towards easy vs best [14:12] Kheops: then copy httpd.conf.sample to httpd.conf ? [14:12] jrib : I know, that's not empty [14:12] jrib: that a fact...okay, kheops, use that file instead [14:12] philosophe: john the ripper [14:12] philosophe, if the partitions are on the same machine you need to make enteries in /etc/fstab [14:13] Wallace_ : k [14:13] all i need is a script or a hint to access my windows disk without entring my password everytime !

[14:13] yes sir ! [14:13] ziggy_: np [14:13] they are already mounted !

[14:53] Wallace : when I make the myfile.html It's showing the myfile.html but not the fille that I was symlink [14:53] wrapster: Hit escape when you boot up. Then you should have the option there to get to a grub prompt. [14:53] pietrubens, sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade [14:53] 'e' or 'b', I think. It should tell you. [14:53] Is there a way to use packages from a usb disk to upgrade to 9.10? so that I don't have to download them all [14:53] Doorman352, which repo [14:53] Kikela, all I can think of is the shift switcher plugin [14:53] @legend, idleone, erusul: noob, don't understand those terms, and don't know how to use the command to install [14:53] hi there, I used to use unionsfs on jaunty, but it seems to not be available anymore, what is the recommended mechanism to get union mounts? I use it to mount, edit, then reburn .iso images [14:53] kheops: I don't understand...you symblinked a directory containing a file, right, or did you try and symblink just a file? [14:53] baz 9.04 ATM [14:53] yes Wallace It's come up but I don't want to access an index fille I want to access the fille that was symlinked, do you understand me ? [14:54] canthus13: after the machine restarts and while boothing [14:54] pietrubens, open a terminal [14:54] just a fille. [14:54] not the entire director. [14:54] Hi. I have transmission-daemon installed on 9.10 but i can't access the web interface. RPC is enabled, whitelist ok but I can't even get localhost:9091 [14:54] wrapster: Yep. you should get a 3-second prompt to hit escape for more options.

[14:54] wrapster: Keyboard is plugged in, right? [14:54] pietrubens: Applications > Accessories> Terminal [14:54] pietrubens, you will need to be in ubuntu to troubleshoot it [14:55] kheops: so you want to do http://myserver/something not http://myserver/something/somefile.dat to return your file? [14:55] erUSUL: I tried. I got - Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". [14:55] yes [14:55] pietrubens, we will still be here as you get into ubuntu [14:55] bazhang: Been reading about repositories, just want to knwo how I tell if one needs a key.

[14:58] while copying the chataddress, i just remembered another thing: i can't chat in ubuntu: can't seem to get the javaapplet installed eihter [14:58] wrapster: Not sure. It almost sounds like some sort of file corruption. [14:58] remember ? [14:58] gdk_, what is that [14:58] hmm.. [14:58] Does anyone know where i can download Minbuntu from? [14:58] ManDay: lapdic | grep VGA should give you your graphics info [14:58] hm okay thanks IdleOne. Anyway, if anyone else can confirm the problem with Intel 2d graphics being ironed out in karmic, please do so [14:58] is there a way to reload grub?

[14:59] :) [14:59] Does anyone know where i can download Minbuntu from? [14:59] gdk_, stop repeating and answer my question [14:59] So...what's wrong ? [14:59] errr [14:59] kheops: so you have done a "cd /var/www/" then an ln -s /home/somewhere symlinks ??

[15:00] canthus13: but that does not have a grub to load into.. [15:00] !anything [15:00] So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone. [15:00] damn [15:00] wrapster: The live CD idea was just to find out if it'll boot a live CD or if there is something wrong with the computer.

[15:02] kheops: no, do not create any files. ln -s will creat the symlink itself [15:03] ggcc, if you don't know the IPaddress you can change the ip address to the hostname [15:03] gdk_, it is a custom derivative. not supported by Ubuntu [15:03] edbian: what would the file to edit be called? It is not /etc/samba.conf [15:03] bazhang: but still, come on [15:03] kheops: type in: cd /var/www; ln -s /home/blah/blah/blah/myfile.txt local-name-for-myfile.txt [15:03] duffydack : it's this :http://rapidshare.de/files/48685214/Capture.png.html i found it.

[15:04] Idle0ne: I tried google [15:04] Kikela, ah.. I dont use that/ [15:04] kheops: ahh, symlinks is a directory...fine, you can do it there (as in cd /var/www/symlinks in the command i told you above) [15:05] aha [15:05] gdk_: I think you are looking for Mint [15:05] Halitech, not when i do root@ipaddr [15:05] :) [15:05] yeah [15:05] gdk_: Because Ubuntu is a fork of Debian, it is like asking in #debian for Ubuntu support. It's illogical and what you're trying to do is illogical. ;< [15:05] also not supported here [15:05] Now I try [15:05] hello everyone =) [15:05] ggcc, you are changing ipaddress to the actual ip address you are trying to connect to, correct? === st3ffen_ is now known as st3ffen [15:05] My bios does not seem to detect my hdd as a primary master [15:05] Halitech, yea lol its 174.34......

[15:06] ggcc, can you ping the server? is it a server you are running yourself or is it a remote server? [15:06] pietrubens, you can use xchat for irc, no need for java nor flash to use irc [15:06] Halitech, whats happening is if i just put the ip addr in its connecting but not as root, its trying to connect my computers username with the server lol [15:06] pietrubens, lets keep it in channel here please [15:06] Wallace : But how ? :)) [15:06] kheops: no problem :) [15:06] Halitech, its a web server from ubiquity hosting [15:06] Got a very annoying issue with switching between external and laptop-monitor: Every second time I do so, Ubuntu logs me out and terminates all running programs without a warning! [15:07] Because I have done It from /home directory and not from the /var/www/symlinks ? [15:07] :))) [15:07] kheops: I think that you don't understand how symlinks works was your problem.

[15:08] kheops: a symlink is something you put in one place, to - for want of a better way of putting it 'pretend' that the file is there [15:08] yes [15:08] kheops: yes [15:08] Halitech, yes, its a unmanaged vps [15:08] as Wallace told me [15:08] !environment [15:08] :) [15:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about environment [15:08] I've uninstalled pulseaudio from ubuntu using these instructions, http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8284273 and I'm trying to use alsa instead, but I'm not getting any sound now. does anyone know why?

[16:13] so fsck quite a bit in the last months...it happens every 2-3 weeks or so [16:14] Last week I upgraded to stop this problem of crashing [16:14] Harrison_Bergero, sorry, a bit over my head then buddy :( [16:14] so far it hasnt crashed [16:14] need help w/ pybackpack error [16:14] Hi all, please someone could give me some minutes to solve my problem, I'm about to install 9.10 and I'm running into some issues recognizing my hdd partitions [16:14] Harrison_Bergero, what is the output of "uname -r" [16:14] BoredKender, no biggie, thanks for the input [16:14] Zykotick9, 2.6.31-14-generic [16:14] Harrison_Bergero, as an off-chance, do a seach for ubuntu-desktop in your package manager and reinstall it [16:15] hey, i just installed windows xp after i installed karmic [16:15] Harrison_Bergero, which is correct -- i was just checking [16:15] I can wait my turn if there is another issue being solved here [16:15] before i just booted the jaunty cd and used the "grub" command to reinstall grub [16:15] how that binary isn't there anymore, whats the correct way to restore grub in karmic [16:15] BoredKender, ill try that [16:16] in-built microphone doesn't work for karmic install on hp dv 6000...can somebody please help? [16:16] hi! does anyone know of a good tutorial for using VteTerminal widget using C? [16:16] Hi, I am getting this Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode message everytime I boot my kubuntu, if I used gdm instead of kdm it works properly [16:17] It's so cold, I have to go to bed :D [16:17] sorry all [16:17] idontknow10_: try the latest alsa version [16:17] idontknow10_, i have the same one in my dv2000, so if you find an answer let me know [16:17] BoredKender: ^ [16:18] can someone help me w/ pybackpack error [16:18] 3o3 medPLUZ our server. danke. [16:19] Hey -- do you guys know how I can add gnome-shell as a session option from gdm [16:19] Hi, I'm using 9.10 Live CD, I want to install it but for some reason the installer will not recognize my internal hd [16:19] is there a way to make it so the second and all subsequent menu tiers don't cover the bottom panel? (so they open like the first tier?) :: http://imagebin.org/71779 [16:19] I can see it here on the list, even browse the files and everything [16:20] edgy, got any advice on how to get there? not in package manager [16:20] am back [16:20] but i can not select it from the list, is says "sda" and thats it, no partitions described there (for me to choose) [16:20] is weird because i can browse them from nautilus [16:20] what about init level changing for console session [16:22] I really need to install it, but I don't want to format my whole hdd, I already have a /home partition and a / partition, where I have system only, I would like to replace that one with the new Karmic [16:22] ubuntu_: all you need to do when it comes to partition lay out choose manual [16:23] eagles0513875, I tried that, but it says "sda" only, no partitions inside the disk [16:23] and I do have partitions there, I can even browse them on nautilus [16:23] Not really fixed, but a work around. I am using VLC, since video player has no audio. Seems to work using VLC without PCM [16:23] and you choose which partitions you want to reformat [16:23] hi [16:23] odd huh? [16:23] ubuntu_, if you do manual and set your "/" to your previous install root then you should be ok... just do not check format [16:23] ubuntu_: sda will be just the entire hard drive. when you run fdisk -l /dev/sda lists all partitions on the drive [16:24] you have to then specify what partition you want [16:24] Does anyone know of an IRC that I can get some help with Bash scripting? [16:24] I have encounter some issues opening wmv using Movie Player [16:24] LjL: there seems to be a problem with command msg that was sent. http://pastebin.com/m50ec77f5 [16:24] kizer, #windows perhaps [16:24] kizer, #bash [16:24] ubuntu-: use gparted and resize the partition [16:24] thanks [16:24] vista crashed to the point of nonrecoverability on this comp, and the lady i'm helping does not have the restore disk, gonna show her this install of ubuntu and see if it does what she needs it to do before ordering a new restore disk :) [16:24] oh whoops...

[16:25] GARREN === Colin_ is now known as Colin_A [16:26] vistasucks: a good idea. You might be able to fix her windows also (or at least retrieve her data) by mounting the hdd with the live CD and saving the files to a usb. [16:26] BoredKender: you know who to do ./configure; make; sudo make install? === carlos is now known as Guest68311 [16:26] emma, i already confirmed that none of the files are important or useful [16:26] edgy, yes sir === Guest68311 is now known as garren [16:26] vistasucks; there is a cover partition that came with the computer if it is an HP or Dell [16:26] is 1.0.21 newest? === ale__ is now known as ale2k [16:26] hi, is there any known issue with installing karminc on a virtual machine?

I cant seem to type japanese in VNC server, any I dea why? [16:28] ubuntu_: what are all these partitions on external hdd or internal hdd [16:28] vistasucks you have to load it from the boot menu, it is a loacked hidden partition in the hard drive that is the new way to load windows [16:29] ubuntu_, um... ouch... did you want to save your data?

[16:48] when I try to smbmount my 98 machine with the machine name, it says "could not resolve address for : Name or service not known No ip address specified and hostname not found", and when I try to directly mount with the IP, i get a message "mount error(6): No such device or address". Which is odd, again, because findsmb tells me that its there, and when I navigate my Windows Network... [16:48] ...in nautilus, i get it lists my share [16:48] is there a easy way to find the cpu usage percentage? [16:48] Hi, I have a problem with dhclient. My server has 2 NIC. eth0 is configured using DHCP and eth1 has a static ip address defined in /etc/network/interfaces. But sometimes eth1 gets an ip address from the dhcp server that is running on the server. Any help would be appreciated [16:48] you think this is the issue? [16:48] Hi, what theme manager should i use for ubuntu? [16:48] Is there a reason to use kubuntu over ubuntu? [16:49] OpenSourcedNick: low end system [16:49] Guest53162: I've known of cases that yes, that was the problem :) [16:49] low end system? [16:49] Ascavasaion: oh, from windowws to linux, try escacping your slashes like \\\\server\\share [16:49] ascavision, do you have password encryption on? what are the permissions on your share? what version of windows are you running, and have you looked at the lanman or ntlm auth turned on [16:49] say a pentium 2 [16:49] an0nmat1r: Try xubuntu for that if I were you [16:50] Flare183: i tried that [16:50] Guest53162: don't do anything you don't trust, it's just an advice :) [16:50] an0nmat1r: And? [16:50] maxgqc: you could tell your DHCP to set a static IP based on the MAC address of the second interface. === moomlyn is now known as linimoo [16:50] any body knows how to get text/html decoder for rythm box? [16:50] well. Ill log out and try it. Ill be back in a sec [16:50] neil_d: it's a dhcp server and a gateway.. I don't like the idea of using dhcp for the LAN interface [16:51] the dhcpserver is itself.. [16:51] an0nmat1r, what do you mean low end system? [16:51] OpenSourcedNick: like a pentium 2 processor [16:51] OpenSourcedNick: i ment a old low hardware power system like a pentuim 2 [16:51] OpenSourcedNick: Like a major slow system. [16:51] oh noes, ubuntu can't see the battery on this laptop [16:52] yeah I got that [16:52] but which is for low end system? [16:52] kubuntu or ubuntu? [16:52] i got my ubuntu 9.10 CD .now can i partition the HDD FROM IT?

[16:53] ageeb, power management on gnome lists the AC plug but not the battery [16:53] vistasucks, not sure how to help then :( [16:53] commander: yes, you can if it's a live-cd.. you could use gparted for that [16:53] I would like to specifically give transmission-daemon permission to a folder in my home folder [16:53] which command do I have to use to do that? [16:54] Hi! I'm trying to convert my videos to mpeg4 with ffmpeg, but I have this message: Unknown encoder 'libx264'. What I need to install to have it working? Will I need to rebuild the ffmpeg?

[16:55] I can see my entire windows network when I run sudo findsmb -r, but don't get full information about the 98 and 3.1 machines. the man page says to turn off nmbd, and when I do that, I can no longer see my linux machine, and I still don't get any info from my 98 or 3.1 machine. what gives? [16:56] neil_d, no. The current LTS is 8.04 [16:56] koala was born here [16:56] wow this chan is way to crowded - needs to fork big time! [16:56] Hi All. [16:56] neil_d, The next release of LTS will be 10.04, seeing as it is updated every two years. [16:56] Id be really greatfull if someone could help me with this, ive been pulling my hair out [16:56] ehy guys now i have to go out ! se you in [16:56] see [16:56] byeee [16:56] Im trying to write a bash script that tests apache's config with apache2ctl and then greps the output for "error" [16:56] prappl93: I thought it was every 3 releases. [16:56] yay pulseaudio works again, had to logout and back in to x [16:57] I cant get it to work for love nor mone [16:57] error [16:57] did it grep that? [16:57] yeah I tried that [16:57] neil_d, No, it's every two years. I researched it the other day. [16:57] if someone did a pastebin post of a script that'd work id love you long time :p [16:57] thanks for the sugestions bye [16:57] I mean, does it grep the string, or is there no correct output? [16:57] ageeb, just tested to see if this laptop suspends properly, and it can now see the battery since it came back [16:58] oCean_: Grep doesnt shut up when I give it the -q option [16:58] so I get the full output of the grep [16:58] Bullterd: Try -qs [16:58] vistasucks, excellent! [16:58] as apposed to the if statment the grep's wrapped around being able to funciton and give me a clean "config is ok" or "config is broken" [16:58] grawity: did [16:58] prappl93: ok thanks for the info. [16:58] Is it possible to uninstall ubuntu= [16:58] ageeb, it is also now seeing temperature sensors properly too :) [16:59] Bullterd: can you show the script in pastebin? [16:59] I mean from a dualboot [16:59] neil_d, No problem [16:59] Sire [16:59] *Sure [16:59] Let me rephrase that; is it possible to remove ubuntu from a dualboot? ;/ [16:59] neil_d, I am only on LTS because 9.10 decided to not work entirely correct when my system should be able to run it properly so I looked up the release info for it. [17:00] jolaren: go to anyother channel like #windows [17:00] jolaren: yes, it's possible, don't forge to clean MBR [17:00] http://pastebin.com/m17958950 [17:01] oCean_: Any ideas? === austin is now known as fallore [17:02] prappl93: I my works system onto Ubuntu a few years back.. I only update it to the LTS versions (unless I must have some new version) been running LTSP faultlessly for quite some time now. [17:02] Bullterd: let me see.. [17:02] when I run as application, how do I prevent the terminal from closing after it's run the program? [17:03] thatpersonthere: closing? [17:03] it should not do that :p [17:03] hi all, im having some problems whit the screenlet: Impulse. any 1 know how to get this to work propperly? i got the libftw, and libpulse, using rythmbox for music player, running 9.10 ubuntu. PM Thanks. [17:04] thatpersonthere: use ctrl+c to end the program instead of presing the X [17:04] when I have the command set to apg -a 1 -s -m 12 -n 10 -M SNLC -r '/home/queen/Documents/en-AU.dic', it closes after it's generated the passwords, rendering the entire thing useless [17:04] thatpersonthere: you could run the program via a script that hangs around after the program exits. [17:04] Bullterd: this would do: http://pastebin.com/d62d2d003 [17:04] mmm? [17:04] * sparky1756 is confused [17:05] whoa that worked [17:05] awesome [17:05] Bullterd: anyway, that would in case of any error of apache2ctl fail [17:05] I tried attempting to save the output, but it wouldn't do that either [17:05] You sir, are a ledgend :) [17:05] Is there any reason why Ubuntu 9.10 won't work on my laptop? I have 1003 MB of RAM and a 1.70 GHz processor.... this falls into the requirements right? The problem is it is running slowly and takes like, 2 boot ups to actually get into the system, then programs freeze. [17:05] a /proc/config.gz would have been too smart of a default option eh? [17:06] who needs to know the default config anyway [17:06] thatpersonthere: use "> somefiletosaveoutput" after your command to do that [17:06] yeah, that's what I did === william is now known as Guest24007 [17:06] hi all, im having some problems whit the screenlet: Impulse. any 1 know how to get this to work propperly? i got the libftw, and libpulse, using rythmbox for music player, running 9.10 ubuntu. PM Thanks. [17:06] if all it takes to be a dev is smart decisions like that, sign me up [17:07] when I use this: apg -a 1 -s -m 12 -n 10 -M SNLC -r '/home/queen/Documents/en-AU.dic' > '/home/queen/Documents/Output.txt' it doesn't create an Output.txt [17:07] zaoul: what's wrong with /boot/config* ? [17:07] 43221233 [17:07] BoredKender: for now reboot, later figure out what service need to be started. I am not sure [17:07] epinky: geting rid of the splash didnt work, though attempting to run an older kernel said that the nvidia driver failed [17:07] llutz: thats the same thing? [17:07] hi , I start a 9.10 cd in live session and I get a gdm login page... Is that normal ? What login/pass should I enter ? [17:07] Hello How do I get access to my encrypted directory? [17:08] llutz: so it is.. thank you [17:08] zaoul: /boot/config-$(uname -r) is the running kernel-config, yes [17:08] llutz: getting frustrated [17:08] zaoul: guess I'll take your name off the sign up sheet [17:08] Guest24007: then your problem is about drivers [17:08] DaskreecH: there should be a 'access your private files here' under home [17:08] 3o3 med+ our serv. no poltards pls [17:08] at least, there is for me [17:08] epinky: what should I do? [17:08] hi all, im having some problems whit the screenlet: Impulse. any 1 know how to get this to work propperly? i got the libftw, and libpulse, using rythmbox for music player, running 9.10 ubuntu. PM Thanks.. [17:08] IdleOne: naa.. leaving it in /proc would have been the smart thing to do [17:09] Guest24007: using nvidia? [17:09] thatpersonthere: Ah and if I reinstall and it won't open what's my move then? [17:09] yep [17:09] I am having problems using 9.10. Is there a reason why it won't work for my laptop? [17:09] Guest24007: do you know which chipset your videcard has? [17:09] DaskreecH:there is a accompanying .txt with more info [17:09] mm no. I am a noob [17:09] oCean_: You sir, are a ledgend :) [17:10] Does anyone know how to remove a dualboot? [17:10] try clicking it twice and see what happens [17:10] is the only way to get ubuntu to use 8 gb ram download the server edition? === med2 is now known as FiremanEd [17:10] Fujk: server or amd64 [17:10] Fujk: I would have thought that the 64 bit would run 8 gigs [17:10] my system to 8.10 but bluetooth is not working now how to solve this? [17:10] thatpersonthere: where? [17:10] Guest24007: post results of "lspci -v" , use pastebin [17:11] Hajex: upgrade [17:11] I upgrade my system to 8.10 but bluetooth is not working now how to solve this? [17:11] i downloaded the server version of ubuntu the other day seems after default install doesnt come with gui all i got was terminal [17:11] DaskreecH:under /home/[username] I'd imagine [17:11] Hajex: upgrade to 9.10 [17:11] opticon: that is coorect [17:11] correct* [17:11] opticon: right [17:11] opticon: you can install the desktop later [17:11] hi all, im having some problems whit the screenlet: Impulse. any 1 know how to get this to work propperly? i got the libftw, and libpulse, using rythmbox for music player, running 9.10 ubuntu.

Does it make sense why I'd have connectivity with an XP machine, but not a 98 machine? [17:12] Fujk: its all amd64 [17:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/319387/ [17:12] llutz: hmm I see [17:12] opticon: install ubuntu-desktop ( gnome ) or kde-desktop ( kde) [17:12] Which package should i install if i want to use compiz on ubuntu? [17:12] hi. i am installing 9.10 on a 8.04 pc. i want to use the same user and the same home folder. both installations will be kept, for fallback. is there anyway to backup the .configuration folders?

I want to encrypt part of my home... (something like you could do with pgpdisk under windows)... what package do you suggest me to look at, please? So far i've seen there exist truecrypt and cryptsetupm but i am not sure about which are the differences. Thanks! [17:34] very very easy [17:34] !enter | redrum [17:34] redrum: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [17:34] om26er: that's the repository name! [17:34] lesshaste: yes [17:35] lesshaste, just use "sudo apt-get install libdvdread4" then run the install script after and it will install libdvdcss2 for you [17:35] !medibuntu | lesshaste [17:35] lesshaste: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [17:35] dobre_zlo: open Synaptic search for xsplash and uninstall it [17:35] sorry ubottu [17:35] lesshaste: http://packages.medibuntu.org/karmic/index.html [17:35] Matr|X: if you reboot, would that not solve your problem? [17:35] epinky: they have depediences like ubuntu-desktop [17:36] I am looking for a backup software that could take full and incremental snapshots of whole filesystem, and it would be a lot better if encrypted.

[17:36] fdr: cryptfs [17:36] sorry wrong place === william is now known as Guest60063 [17:37] epinky: rebooted with same result [17:37] lesshaste, after you install libdvdread4 the install command is "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" -- this installs from medibuntu without adding the medibuntu repository [17:37] error404notfound, there is a program called unison and you could then put that ontop a cryptfs volume [17:37] om26er: Sorry I had my connection go funky on me, and got knocked off. Can you help me with this? [17:38] Guest60063: then no idea man, sorry [17:38] Hi, I run xubuntu 9.04, and I have it all configured to my specs ect. However, it is asking me to upgrade to 9.10 (new Ubuntu) [17:38] thanks all... so do I need to reinstall mencoder at that point? [17:38] dotblank, lemme check, i was using duplicity till now [17:38] is it safe to do this upgrade ? [17:38] via this method ? [17:38] epinky: would it help to go into Synaptic and install other nvidia files? [17:38] anom01y: i would prefer clean install [17:38] lesshaste, you shouldn't need to reinstall mencoder/mplayer - it should just pick up on the dvdcss "codec" [17:39] bluetooth is not working in 8.10 .. any solution? [17:39] hi....how can I tell apparmor not to interfere when I try to stop mysql-server? [17:39] ZykoticK9: ok .. so the key thing to install is libdvdread4? [17:39] hopefully everything works afterwards. It sucks when things stop working after an upgrade [17:39] after the countless hours of configuration [17:39] lesshaste, yes, then run that command i sent you! [17:39] hume: service mysqld stop [17:39] !gdm [17:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm [17:39] rubyonrails3, gives me "fail" [17:39] ZykoticK9: thanks.. [17:40] rubyonrails3, and the following in syslog: (n=james@unaffiliated/cymage) gick in i #mysql [17:40] thumbs, syslog gives: Nov 15 18:37:31 vistaserver1 kernel: [16447.948854] type=1503 audit(1258306651.632:51): operation="open" pid=17266 parent=17265 profile="/u [17:40] godin_: change your security to wpa [17:40] how does one configure gdm and vnc in 9.10 for remote access??!?

WPA-PSK is probably the most common. [17:41] rubyonrails3, the same with /etc/init.d/mysql stop [17:42] hume: right [17:42] Guest60063: yeah, maybe, ... anyway that couldn't be worse I guess [17:42] rubyonrails3, according to a guy in #mysql, it is apparmor interfering....and I know nothing about apparmor [17:42] epinky: thanks for the help. [17:42] godin_, if your router supports it, set it to use MAC filtering and then you don't have to worry about passphrases, just make sure you add your MAC address before enabling it [17:43] Guest60063: no problem, good luck [17:43] apparmor is related to security you need to stop it form start up or just for now hume [17:44] Halitech: TY [17:44] Snausages: TY [17:44] you can put apparmor in a mode where it just complains rather than actually stops stuff === melissita is now known as duckx0r [17:45] godin_, I use it and it works great, makes people think you have an open connection cause they can see it, just can't connect or get an IP, no worries about cracking the passphrase either [17:45] rubyonrails3, ok, i do service apparmor stop, gives OK, but then still get fail when I try to stop mysql [17:45] hume: will you repeat what error you getting [17:45] how do i use the terminal to see what's running and then end a process? [17:45] Halitech: wouldn't it be rather easy for someone to find the right mac address though? [17:46] fallore: ps -aux for process [17:46] Halitech: are you at all concerned about somebody sniffing, or cloning a MAC? [17:56] Is it safe to remove Firefox from Ubuntu?

[18:05] its ok [18:05] Well, that was odd [18:05] and in all honesty bastid_raZor i dont see why 32bit is still around since just about all procs are 64bit [18:05] Bam_Bam: ? [18:05] Bam_Bam: sure it was but it passed so move on [18:05] eagles0513875, mine isn't ): [18:05] What is difference between "remove" and "autoremove". I used "sudo apt-get --purge remove amarok" it freed some 20MB and when I repeated the process by changing "remove->autoremove" it again 29 MB. How come? [18:05] om26er, wtf?

[18:06] eagles0513875: Some people still want 32-bit software to work without hassle. [18:06] eagles0513875, there are alot of laptops being sold still equiped with 32 bit processors [18:06] fakeer, after removing packages, may there will be software which is not longer needed. this will be removed by autoremove. [18:06] eagles0513875: netbooks are 32bit [18:06] om26er, that doesn't explain why you were so flip with me. [18:06] strange i thought all newer machines came with procs that are backwards compatible with 32bit software [18:06] and what i have see is all you need at least on ubuntu the ia32libs to get things to work [18:07] All I said was that was odd, referring to the netsplit like thing. [18:07] tado, as far as I know there isn't a global function for it, since different applications will force it using a different function, I assume [18:07] what's a good VNC "like" technology that allows me to connect to a remote box even if it's behind firewall? [18:07] Bam_Bam: it happens. there is a whole wiki about it on wikipedia [18:07] eagles0513875: ia32libs is out of date as far as I'm aware and that they're try to get rid of them. [18:07] I heard of something called Hamachi? [18:07] trying* [18:07] Sahkolihaa: i have ubuntu server karmic running ia32libs for shoutcast [18:07] dAlfa89_: all right. any clue about oo?

[18:07] * om26er says forget the past and focus [18:08] ortsvorsteher: so, should i use "autoremove" in my first attempt if I want to remove the s/w completely with other s/w's that are not needed by any other package?

I want 2 monitors, is SLI in ubuntu worth it if you DONT play games? [18:31] duffydack: Does wicd keep the connection if xorg gets killed? [18:31] Hyperlite4949, "sudo apt-get install wine" minus quotes [18:31] is there a way to control the speed of the mouse-whell for sys-tray icons and NOT system-wide? in 9.10 the speed is to slow to control the volume [18:31] Hyperlite4949, you could do "sudo apt-get install [18:31] alright thanks! [18:31] Fujk: no, buy a cheap dual-head vga [18:31] duffyhack, I did too, much better, but wicd does not deal well with vpn connections at all. [18:31] robinetd, no.

I don't use it, and don't want the endless security updates and holes having it on my systems entails. [18:31] in relation to a linux live install to usb flash memory, what is meant by the distinction "persistent"? what would be a nonpersistent install? [18:31] linuxghost , I'm standing by .. [18:31] @apoc_ hm [18:32] robinetd, but, all I have to do is an ifup command [18:32] vp, I still see two old connections [18:32] i'm thinkin about tryin opensuse, but think the deal with microsoft is bad for Linux. would using it be a bad idea? [18:32] robinetd, you probably wanna use the shell version, I forget which it is.. wpasupplicant or iwconfig [18:32] @apoc_ ok [18:32] vp, And can't connect to any new ones [18:32] iceroot: what if I use the SLI for gaming on dual boot, can you get dual monitors to run in ubuntu on these cards? [18:32] @apoc_ i guess you use ubuntu 9.10 with gnome-Desktop [18:32] Fujk: of course [18:33] vp, 9.10 Karmic yes. Upgraded from 9.04 [18:33] iceroot: ok sweet [18:33] topdog101 : okkkk [18:33] fah_multicore : persistent can save your conf and data.. [18:33] @apoc_ with gnome? [18:33] wpasupplicant, and iwconfig are commands that NM, and wicd use in the background! [18:33] vp, Yes, and the netbook remix stuff [18:33] they can be used manually [18:33] Fujk: but a good vga has dual-head, so you dont have a good vga, and a bad vga is not good for gaming :) so buy a good vga with dual-head so you dont need sli. its cheaper then 2 bad vga [18:33] @apoc_ all right, try this [18:33] linuxghost , This is how I did it: [18:33] mount -n -o remount,rw / [18:33] which obviously made all my dev write enabled. Then: [18:33] sudo dpkg --configure -a [18:33] which installed all broken packages. Then reboot.

[18:34] vp, Ok [18:34] @apoc_ open a terminal and execute this command: killall nm-applet [18:34] topdog101: ya [18:34] i get the idea i'm not gonna get a lot of help with a name like BLUE_BALLS [18:34] vp, done [18:34] ok [18:34] @apoc_ now your menu has disappeared, right?

[18:35] BLUE_BALLS, I take it you upgraded as in didn't do a fresh install? A lot of people are having trouble with upgrades [18:36] @apoc_ when this is done, execute this: nm-applet & [18:36] robinetd, then once you know how they interact with your setup, write a shellscript and add it to your boot process. [18:36] apoc_: a little late but /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections stores system wide connections if you click the little for all users checkbox [18:36] dAlfa89_, fresh install the same thing, its the version that has the problem [18:36] lilyshu, i expect a ramfs is just discarded when you reboot/shutdown [18:37] hey does anyone know why sudo apt-get install tomcat6 doesnt work? the strange thing is that tomcat5.5 works [18:37] vp, Ok, icon is back [18:37] topdog101: im here [18:37] anything with the repo? [18:37] trism, Ok, I'll check that a little later [18:37] @apoc_ can you connect to other networks? [18:37] linuxghost , are you setting-up a server or a desktop machine [18:37] HeadCrusherGuy, tried tomcat without a number? [18:37] vp, Still no. It connets for a while, but then fails [18:38] I have a problem. my network adapter isn't listed in `ifconfig -a` [18:38] why cant i run as root and be safe at the same time? like when logged as a user? [18:38] Hi, I've got a directory with several subdirectories (all containing several files). I want all of the files to contain the word "text". I'me trying to script it as a loop, but I can't seem to make it recursive (it stops at the first level of directories). This is what I got so far: for file in *; do cat text > "$file"; done === timber_ is now known as timber [18:38] desktop machine [18:38] strange thing is, if I run the hardware test in the administrator menu, it lists that network adapter [18:38] i'm thinkin about tryin opensuse, but think the deal with microsoft is bad for Linux. would using it be a bad idea? [18:38] apoc_ this happens while other machines can connect? [18:38] dalfa89: same stuff [18:38] HeadCrusherGuy: what does it say? [18:38] linuxghost , ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10 [18:38] vp, Yes, and on two different networks [18:38] the strange thing is that i found such information here : https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/tomcat.html [18:39] TOP: i was upgrading to ubuntu 9.10 [18:39] jamed: couldn't find package tomcat [18:39] hello everybody! [18:39] vp, It does show available networks and it asks for a passwd on protected ones, but it just never finished connecting [18:39] linuxghost, yeah, this problem often occurs to upgraders to 9.10 [18:39] hi [18:39] apoc_ hm [18:39] obg_: use find, find . -exec cat text > {} ; [18:39] HeadCrusherGuy: sounds like you put a space before 6 [18:40] trism, thank, I'll try that [18:40] what is the sense of the power_save parameter of alsa module snd-hda-intel? [18:40] need help with port mapping :) anyone is not busy to help me? [18:40] BillW, there are several reasons, main is that you can trash your system easier, but next is that if you get compormised, your attacker can gain immediate control of your system, and likely any other system you are networked with. [18:40] topdog101: at last, it happens with 9.10? [18:40] vp, I'm trying an ad-hoc one now, and the other computer does notice the connection [18:40] is it BUG??? [18:40] no...there is not...did you try at your place jamed?!? [18:40] obg_: although that will include directories, which you don't want, so use -type f too for only files [18:40] HeadCrusherGuy: yes sudo apt-get install tomcat6 works fine [18:41] vp, Are there any command line utils or log file that shows details why a connection attempt fails? [18:41] yeah that really doesnt work here! [18:41] apoc_ generally yes [18:41] maybe i am missing a repo?! [18:41] topdog101: [18:41] HeadCrusherGuy: i just have standard repos [18:41] linuxghost, I have had it twice , and then solved it, looks like it's a bug [18:41] apoc_ they are stored in /var/log [18:41] could you tell me which repo it is downloading from [18:41] :O [18:41] maybe i deleted any and i dont know!

I'm getting: [18:41] gnome-system-monitor: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: invalid ELF header [18:41] could be this a hardware related issue? [18:41] heh, compormised... :) [18:41] HeadCrusherGuy: is there a command for that? [18:42] apoc_ have you rebooted your netbook since it startet to make problems? [18:42] linuxghost , are you new with ubuntu ??... [18:42] if i don't see my network adapter in `ifconfig -a`, how can I see if the device is present?

I'm thinking there were two things I had to do. Checking the checkbox doesn't bring them ALL back. [19:19] gdmseup: "killall pulseaudio" does that work from command line [19:19] nikin: check in google.... [19:19] ctop: yeah i thought that too, but if i do that, pulseaudio restarts... [19:20] can someome help me with pulseaudio? sometimes the audio card module can't be loaded, and the times it is loaded, i have audio riddled with cracks and pops. :( [19:20] probable something like /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop [19:20] gdmsetup: i did, for the last 4 hours.. and i am realy fed up.... nothing is available.... the kernel drivers are ok, but xserver-xorg-video-psb is not [19:20] slide23: i see 4 disk in dmesg. is that correct ? [19:20] can provide a log output if that helps. [19:20] IdleOne: ive tried that too didnt work [19:21] erUSUL, it should be 5 now [19:21] Hi. Gmail fonts look terrible - the inbox display is too small and the top bar too large. How can I fix this? [19:21] nikin: wait a sec ill check and tell u... ok? [19:21] gdmsetup: ok [19:21] nikin, yeah karmik screwed up some driver stuff, try jaunty [19:21] nikin: which eeepc is it? [19:21] gdmsetup: 1101HA [19:21] ctop: it says Installed [19:21] nikin, also, eeebuntu does some extra checking for eee pc's, try that [19:21] slide23: try « sudo modprobe sata_via » or sata-via » [19:22] nikin: nice one, could you send one to argentina??? we dont get them here...! [19:22] erUSUL, both of those gave this, FATAL: Module sata_via not found. [19:22] how do u install salome in ubuntu 32 bit plz [19:22] slide23: :| wtf ubuntu does not includes this driver ? i can not find it myself either [19:23] erUSUL, my motherboards sata controller is a VIA as well, from lspci "IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VIA VT6420 SATA RAID Controller (rev 80)" [19:23] gdmsetup: yep it is... just it wont run ubuntu, and as i use a lot of graphic oriented software i can not go without dri support. Jaunty is not realy an option becouse it has just old versions of everything... inkscape is especialy hurting... [19:23] gdmsetup: have you tried /usr/bin/pulseaudio --stop [19:24] slide23: maybe it is included built in ... and somehow the driver does not see the other chip ... [19:24] nikin: http://greg.geekmind.org/eee-control/ [19:24] i've upgraded to the recent ubuntu rel which upgraded bison to bison 1:2.4.1.dfsg-1 [19:24] how u install salome on ubuntu 32bit [19:24] ? [19:24] unfortunately, bison 2 is completely incompatible with bison 1 [19:24] i'm having a problem with the e1000e driver... not listing my card in ifconfig -a [19:24] DSheth: try cd Desktop then ./runinstall [19:24] i did that [19:24] slide23: indeed CONFIG_SATA_VIA=y in config ... === johnny is now known as Guest31178 [19:24] gdmsetup.. just a second... it is not as easy to get links open using the command line [19:25] so i'm looking for bison 1 deb i can install instead [19:25] erUSUL, config? [19:25] but you have to install sources and build it [19:25] idk how to do that [19:25] slide23: /boot/config-$(uname -r) [19:25] !compile | DSheth [19:25] DSheth: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [19:26] the ./runinstal thing is for the debian [19:26] erUSUL, ok i see it [19:26] I see this error is dmesg: [ 2.361541] e1000e: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -5 [19:27] oi [19:27] gdmsetup: what does eee-control have to do with an xorg driver?

[19:28] nikin: try xorg edgers on google and add their repos to apt list, that might work.... [19:28] erUSUL, in dmesg i see "scsi0 : sata_via" and "scsi1 : sata_via" would that be the second controller? [19:28] what is the usual procedure for monitor profiling on ubuntu? [19:28] slide23: no i think is just the second port on the same controller [19:28] ah [19:28] gdmsetup: can you please check me if they have the psb driver? [19:28] DSheth: these instructions should also work on karmic http://code-saturne.blogspot.com/2009/07/installation-of-salome-414-on-ubuntu.html [19:28] hi [19:29] nikin: ok [19:29] slide23: seems it only sees one chip sata_via 0000:00:0f.0: PCI INT B -> Link[ALKA] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 === Guest92115 is now known as meff [19:29] i'm new to linux using ubuntu 9.10....need help with playing videos and using ipod touch [19:29] how do I get aptitude install package=version to work? I always get can't find version xyz === meff is now known as Guest14106 [19:30] dont you have a list of commands to type to install [19:30] !aptitude [19:30] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [19:30] gdmsetup: have you stopped pulseaudio? [19:30] Is there a way to see which users are in a particular group? [19:30] nikin: they only solution i can think of is, update ur kernel to 2.6.31-15 and use lastest xorg... there is a package called, xorg-something-psb too check then out but use xorg edgers [19:30] ctop: nope--- cant [19:30] /usr/bin/pulseaudio --kill === charitwo is now known as sekrit [19:31] DSheth: that link has the commands. [19:31] gdmsetup: thank you... i was using xorg edgers for jaunty and eeepc 900 before [19:33] hello unplug everything and remove it opens makina whole network cable and put it back to then be put back to check if the error dísir [19:34] protip: apt-cache policy === Guest14106 is now known as meff [19:34] PaulMooney: hello unplug everything and remove it opens makina whole network cable and put it back to then be put back to check if the error dísir === meff is now known as Guest57805 === TheFunkbomb_ is now known as TheFunkbomb [19:35] mohadip: remove the network card? it is a t60 laptop so I cannot remove the card.... [19:36] guyz about the new wine on ubuntu 9.10 can u install any windows apps ? or is it required for the app to support linux OS in order to run mainly games here...thankx [19:36] !pm | DSheth [19:36] DSheth: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [19:37] ok [19:37] PaulMooney: does the same happen with a different kernel? [19:38] trinity, wine isn't perfect, but it runs a lot of windows programs. Games are a completely different issue and some work and some don't, and some sort of work but the graphics are messed up === darkv_ is now known as Mufasa_ [19:38] Does anybody have flash acting retardedly in firefox? Sometimes it works fine and then other times the screen is just white and I have to restart firefox to get it back [19:38] guntbert: yes. I had the problem for a year with 8.04 on version different 2.6.11 through 2.6.19 kernels. I just upgraded to intrepid 8.10 and I still see the problem on 2.6.27-5 [19:38] trinity: it really depends on the app, look up whatever you want to install on http://appdb.winehq.org/ to get an idea how well it is currently working, or tips for installing [19:38] Okay, if I go start > run > Okay, Samba is officially a load of shit. [19:39] bluetooth is not working in 8.10 .. any solution? [19:39] im readme file for salome it says how to build salome modules from sources, it says to set the environment variable using command "source ../env_products.sh" but it says invalid directory [19:39] PaulMooney: the problem is one that conponente not detected coreptamente what I suggest is to remove it or put it back so that it detects coreptamente === Guest57805 is now known as meff [19:39] guntbert: it looks like 2.6.27 is using the e1000e driver instead, but I still have the same problem. one page i read said that the e1000e was meant to be a driver fix for this problem.... [19:39] insm0d: tahnkx yah i understand that but will they be fixing that issue with the new wine since it's only a beta version or is unstable atm right now rather then when compareing it with the older version [19:39] erUSUL, any more ideas? heh === meff is now known as Guest89097 [19:40] PaulMooney: I see - could it be a hardware problem (I'm on a T60 with e100e right now) [19:40] mohadip: correctly=coreptamente :) [19:40] e1000e [19:40] mohadip: I don't think there is a way I can remove the built in LAN card from the laptop motherboard [19:40] slide23: not much; sorry. dunno how to make it see the new controller [19:41] erUSUL, ok thanks [19:42] guntbert: do you have gigabit LAN? it seems to be a problem with the gigabit chip [19:42] Does anybody have flash acting retardedly in firefox? Sometimes it works fine and then other times the screen is just white and I have to restart firefox to get it back [19:42] slide23: and after reading this .... http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/11/67 ... [19:42] Roasted: Flash has issues [19:42] plz [19:42] idleone - yeah, I know this. But I was just curious if other people were having similar issues as me. [19:42] trinity, wine could work 100% if ms gave out their entire w32 API, but there is virtually no chance of that happening. The reason the graphical glitches happen is because wine tries to convert directx calls to opengl equivalents. [19:42] DSheth: I suggest you post on the salome forum and ask them. [19:42] guntbert: I would like to do a BIOS update but lenovo's site seems to be almost crashed right now. all the support links go to page "not found" [19:42] their salome forum is dead [19:42] PaulMooney: no - although I seem to remember to have used it directly with my nas (for performance purposes) once [19:43] The mountmanager edited my /etc/fstab and now it can't mount my USB drive, what should I do? [19:43] guntbert: well if its the e1000e driver (1000 instead of 100) it might be gigabit [19:43] Roasted: rarely but that did happen to me yesterday. reloaded the page and it worked fine [19:43] guntbert: what do you get if you do `lspci|grep Ethernet` ? === Guest89097 is now known as meff [19:44] PaulMooney: well I'm using the e1000e, and absolutely no problems lspci gives 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller [19:44] Roasted: specifically was on a facebook app page === meff is now known as Guest52732 [19:45] what does the message not available in the currant data [19:45] what does the message mean* [19:46] guntbert: yup... same card it looks like.... [19:46] guntbert: what kernel? [19:47] .sh is bash? [19:47] anyone else seeing the lenovo website fail horribly? click support -> downloads & drivers -> page not found ?? [19:47] PaulMooney: did you try with different distros? knoppix? my kernel is 2.6.28-16-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 20 19:48:32 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux [19:47] is .sh or .csh bash [19:48] DSheth: no, they are different shells [19:48] guntbert: no i haven't. this comp has been ubuntu only for years now... [19:48] which one is for ubuntu [19:48] DSheth: they all are [19:48] um [19:48] DSheth: you sound like you want bash. type bash [19:48] DSheth, if you are asking about a file extension, .sh is a bourne shell script, but bash should be able to run it. .csh is a c-shell script, and it's different from sh [19:49] it says to set environment variables [19:49] depending on the shell i use === Guest52732 is now known as meff [19:49] lol [19:49] echo $SHELL will tell you what shell you're in [19:49] PaulMooney: I only suggested for testing - but now I have a question: how can you run a bios update without windows? === meff is now known as Guest70500 [19:50] it says /bin/bash [19:50] guntbert, not a likely event [19:50] guntbert: they may provide an image I can burn to cdrom & then boot from it to upgrade that way. if the website working for you? [19:50] guntbert, afaik, only Dell have released a patch to allow bios upgrades from Linux [19:50] do i type source ../env_products.csh or source ../env_products.sh [19:50] guntbert, the old way was to boot up a dos floppy and run the flasher from there. [19:50] PaulMooney: please tell me the complete model of your laptop [19:51] what graphics cards do you guys recommend for dual monitors? [19:51] PaulMooney: didn't try for quite a time [19:51] DSheth, the .sh one. [19:51] i tried that and it said bash: ../env_products.sh: No such file or director [19:51] Fujk, I've been using nVidia for 3 years with dual monitors [19:51] Fujk, nvidia-settings makes it easy to configure [19:51] hi all [19:51] guntbert, for everything else, if they don't provide an alternative way to upgrade BIOS (ie: floppy disk / USB boot). Then there is no other way except to install Windows. [19:52] DSheth, is env_products.sh in the same directory you are in when you try to run it? [19:52] I have a question on 9.10 [19:52] nop [19:52] mohadip: Lenovo T60 Type 2008 Model GEU [19:52] dual: I'm so not up to date with hardware, do you know a nvidia card that is current (maybe for games too)? [19:52] insm0d: yes - but without floppy it gets tedious [19:52] the installer for salome says to type that but its messed up [19:52] lol [19:52] after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 my movies won't play under mythtv [19:53] hey [19:53] Hi [19:53] ibuclaw: thats what I thought but then PaulMooney said he wanted to run a bios upgrade on his ubuntu only T60.... :-) [19:53] I'm using ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty 64-bit and whenever I shut down my pc it seems to shutdown but halts on a black screen and doesnt turn off until you push any button. [19:53] DSheth, you might need to do /bin/bash ../[script] [19:53] that suck ^^ use karmic ;) [19:53] guntbert, I know Acer supports this way of BIOS upgrades: http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/08/acer-aspire-one-bios-recovery.html [19:54] ;p webmani [19:54] Fujk, GTX 295 looks very good, but it's quite expencive [19:54] ok [19:54] lol [19:54] let me try that [19:54] :p [19:54] guntbert: ibuclaw: I have seen before where an image for cdrom burning was provided. If the page would open (can anyone open it) I would be able to tell if lenovo provides this or not.... [19:54] guntbert, but I don't think any other manufacturer product can do that. [19:54] dual: yeah that is too much hehe === Guest70500 is now known as meff [19:54] ibuclaw: thx [19:54] Who here is experienced with PCI 2.1 add-in video cards and Ubuntu? === fakeer__ is now known as fakeer [19:54] hi all, where can i set what happens when the laptop lid is closed? === meff is now known as Guest4803 [19:55] Fujk, I'd say you get what you pay for. I still have my 8800GT which still runs the games I play [19:55] pietje, at the power settings [19:55] and ibuclaw, PaulMooney my bios question is not so important *and* off topic too :-) [19:55] guntbert, it's OK ;) [19:56] !lol | webmani [19:56] webmani: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [19:56] Who here is experienced with PCI 2.1 add-in video cards and Ubuntu? (Ben Stein: Anyone? anyone? anyone?) [19:56] dual: dont see that for sale anymore here, I need to find a list of "mid range" dual monitor cards [19:56] guntbert, I recently did a BIOS upgrade on this Samsung N110 ... did it in Windows Seven. [19:56] insm0d, that didnt work [19:56] anybody have any suggestions on why my movies using mythtv won't play after upgrading to 9.10 [19:56] Fujk, 9800GT is pretty cheap now [19:56] guntbert, and now all key buttons work, and it is noticeably cooler ;) [19:56] hello I would like to know where is the best place to discuss the packaging of a new app. [19:57] for a 6 cell netbook, that is... [19:57] Fujk, GTX 280 is very good, but again, quite expencive [19:57] yml: #ubuntu-dev [19:57] Terminator, it only shows an option for AC power [19:57] IdleOne: thanks [19:57] ibuclaw: such things *can* happen :-) [19:57] there should be something like tabs, right? [19:58] dual: 9800gt is affordable, you positive it would run two screens in ubuntu? [19:58] DSheth, okay, where is the file you are supposed to run? You aren't typing the correct path. [19:58] Fujk, It's more powerfull than my 8800GT, and I run 2x22" widescreen without any problems. [19:59] Fujk, it depends on the screen resolution, but an integrated chipset like the intel ones on laptops can run multiple monitors no problem. [19:59] Fujk, I also play Quake Wars Enemy Territory on highest settings (except AA) === Guest4803 is now known as meff [20:00] alright sweet === meff is now known as Guest28463 [20:00] I am a newbie and need some help please [20:00] !ask | dragon_reborn [20:00] dragon_reborn: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:00] hi . i setup a counter strike server, and i want to setup another one on the same machine .. first subdomain cs.mydomain.com second : cs2.mydomain.com how can i setup without change the standard port ? [20:01] PaulMooney: [20:01] I hope this link helps you [20:01] what is your question dragon_reborn ? [20:02] insm0d, i couldnt find the actual file in the installation files but the README said 'go to installation root directory (/home/user/salome in this example): cd /home/user/salome then to set environment variables use bash or csh script, depending on your shell: source ../env_products.csh or source ../env_products.sh [20:02] kharloss - that's kind of off-topic for here. But you probably need a seperate IP for each domain, register both IPs to your NIC, then configure each server to only listen on one IP. [20:02] PaulMooney:http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/BIOS_Upgrade_Downloads [20:02] How can I set the behavior when the laptop lid closes? Power management only shows a tab for AC power, not battery [20:02] I upgraded to 9.10 from 9.04, (I am running the mythbuntu distro) now the movies that where playing fine before don't play. === carlos is now known as Guest75359 [20:03] hi [20:04] DSheth, you need to find that file or try continuing without it. [20:04] ok [20:04] pietje: I know that's doable, I changed mine... === Guest28463 is now known as meff [20:04] can anybody recommend a package to install for an imap server? There seem to be a few options [20:04] dragon_reborn, can you give more details? What kind of movies, what player, what happens when you try to play a movie [20:04] does anyone here know to get sdlmess for ubuntu? i don't know how to compile it, there's no configuration file and the makefile does nothing, and there is no ubuntu deb for it. I don't know if using a debian deb would be okay to use in ubuntu === meff is now known as Guest21957 [20:05] Hi! Anyone know how to install the graphical drivers for Fujitsu Siemens LI1705 (Ubuntu 9.10)? Thanks :-) [20:05] pietje: Oh, no, on second thought I only customkized what hitting the power button does (my USB keyboard has a power button in an annoyingly easy to press location). [20:05] I have read the Ubuntu FAQ as well as Linux Hardware FAQ. I have a question which is not answered in either. Is there anybody who is able to give input? [20:05] ehm, pietje, when you disconnect it from ac? perhaps it goes to battery setting automagically then ;) [20:05] it's simply there puff ;) [20:05] I did it too [20:05] set it to go to black instead of sleep [20:05] Urgh. So... I am still trying to figure out what's using up all my disk.] [20:06] every support link off of lenovo's site is getting 'page not found' can someone please verify? [20:06] I am using mplayer via the mythtv menus. when I enter on the movie (.avi) it hangs. If I use the arrow keys to FF that works but it won't play normally [20:06] df -h shows 4.7 gig in my / partition and 4.5 gig used, and 38M available. [20:06] These numbers don't quite add up... .2 gig should be 200M, right? [20:06] Terminator, i'm on battery now, booted on battery, and the battery tab is missing in power management [20:07] really weird :P [20:07] puff, 2gig = 2048mb [20:07] Also, I ran filelight and it' appears to be telling me that / is a total of 3.7Gig. [20:07] dAlfa89_: That's ".2" gig. [20:07] dAlfa89, .2 gig as in a fifth. [20:07] puff, ah yeah, sorry o: [20:07] So, filelight says I'musing 3.7 Gig of /, df -h says I'm using 4.5. [20:07] Wtf? [20:07] dragon_reborn, i do not know mythbuntu myself, on normal ubuntu I would start mplayer in a terminal and look for any error messages [20:07] dAlfa89_: Nos weat, this thing has me ch asing my tail. [20:08] dragon_reborn: Possibly ask over mon #ubuntu-mythtv [20:08] if I go to VLC the movies play fine..so I am assuming it is within Myth t v [20:08] someone finally took 2 seconds to verify on a different channel [20:09] I just had a nice and hot big pizza, witch bolognese, jalapenos, olives and extra cheese. Thought I should let you guys know that. [20:09] puff; thanks I will do that === Guest21957 is now known as meff [20:09] Lesse what baobab says. [20:09] userfriendly: you highlighted me ;-) I got a hilight on 'pizza' ;D [20:09] Hi [20:09] Hi, does Ubuntu-Netbook-Remix have the same package management system that standard Ubuntu has? I am trying to figure out if I could install Eclipse on it? [20:09] Is it possible to disable one of my two processors? [20:09] message144, yes it has === meff is now known as Guest57139 [20:09] I would *love* o find out that I'm only really using 3.7GB and I have 1 GB of free space. [20:09] Nowaker_: good thinking. [20:10] message: try apt-get [20:10] pietje, thanks [20:10] does anyone here use sdlmess? [20:10] Wallace, I haven't bought the netbook yet.. I am just trying to figure out if I would be able to code on it when I am out and about. [20:11] Does anyone have a good suggestion for which netbooks work best with UNR? [20:11] eeePC [20:11] lenovoS10 [20:11] Odd, baobab says I'm using 4.2 Gig. [20:11] a few others [20:11] Martyn, ok thanks.. any thoughts on the acers? [20:11] So du says 4.5, filelight says 3.7, baobab says 4.2. Geez. [20:11] acer aspire one (10.1") works well, but the 11.1" is based on the GMA500, which is not well supported [20:11] brauch nen sechsten. mindestens so gut wie der flemming === Tim is now known as Glowball [20:12] Is it possible to disable a processor? [20:12] acer aspire one zg10 works 100% out of the box [20:12] Is there any Via Chrome9 drivers for 9.10? [20:12] Glowball, you might be able to from your bios [20:12] Glowball: some motherboards allow hotswapping CPUs (some server boards do) so you can replace bad chips === dto1 is now known as dto [20:12] I'm on an acer aspire one A7051h, UNR does not work, nomal ubuntu doe [20:13] Without rebooting? [20:13] I rember BeOS could turn on/off multi cpus on the fly. :) not sure why you want to. [20:13] Glowball: you will find most home motherboards won't have this [20:13] After boot splash (when starting gnome) the screen hangs, And I cannot log in.

There are many user contributed scripts for xchat, irssi, quassel... And what you want may even be a built in feature for some of them [20:55] dragon: The question would be better answered in #lvm [20:56] mobi-sheep: thanks [20:56] thnx jordan, will hunt for em in xchat, will check out irssi [20:56] hi, I just installed ubuntu desktop (alternate) on hdc1, chrooted to the new sys from a gentoo (installed on md3), compiled a new kernel, copied the bzImage to boot/kernel-xyz (on md3), edited lilo.conf to boot this kernel with root=/dev/hdc1, ran sbin/lilo (no errors). On reboot, I get : "init: sreadahead main process (786) terminated with status 1 - One or more of the mounts listed in etc/fstab cannot yest be mounted: waiti [20:56] ng for dev/hdc1" [20:56] rkEvan6: np [20:56] How do I download videos from youtube?

Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [20:58] jeffmr: Thanks, I forgot about the tab [20:58] spectre_: Most ( all? ) hard drives are now "sda1" rather than "hda1", and you should really use UUIDs instead [20:58] Shoe: sure, ask youtube for ftp-account :) there are scripts for downloading videos, even firefox-extensions [20:58] anarcap: search the net for "bash" and read all about it [20:58] anarcap: The ones at http://tldp.org/ aren't best, but are quite good. [20:58] Tru7h - thanks [20:58] llutz, I remember there is a folder in ~ or somewhere where I can just copy and paste the youtube video to my desktop... [20:58] anarcap: I can never remember with devices that have spaces [20:58] Jordan_U, I tried chrooting to the new sys and opening /dev/sdx hds, but it won't work [20:58] anarcap, aside from those, if you don't know how to use a command, type man [command] [20:59] Put all the "no fb" options I could find into /etc/default/grub.

[20:59] spectre_: And if you install grub ( 1 or 2, I much prefer 2 ) then all you have to do is make your kernel and run "sudo update-grub" to add it [20:59] Does KMS require you to use a console framebuffer? === Guest28907 is now known as meff [20:59] so I mknodded the hdc device, which I can open just fine with fdisk from the chroot === meff is now known as Guest88666 [20:59] spectre_: That's because the old gentoo kernel on the liveCD still lists them that way, in the newer kernel in Ubuntu it will be sda [21:00] (mknodded hdc1 of course, too :)) [21:00] Bluetoothmouse: modprobe btusb see if that helps [21:00] ok I connected my usb to the ubuntu and it won't mount it, I think it's because MountManager changed my /etc/fstab file.. what should i do? [21:00] insm0d: Yeah, I've been using the man pages. Thanks [21:00] Hello everyone.

[21:01] Jordan_U, 1st: no live cd, 2nd I can boot the gentoo with the new kernel just fine, and the device hdc1 still works [21:01] spectre_: You seem to be doing a lot of work manually that is better done automatically. Things have gotten a lot better with linux in that past few years :) [21:01] * grawity sighs. [21:01] how could I set the dictionary for my xchat ?

[21:01] Bluetoothmouse, I think that means the package was built and maintained by canonical [21:02] Bluetoothmouse: its still attached to the usb bus [21:02] Shoe, in /tmp you'll find "FlashBLAHBLAH" which are your YouTube videos - easier to use a FireFox plugin probably [21:02] spectre_: That's because you are using a static /dev in gentoo, whereas Ubuntu uses udev by default [21:02] i have a doubt about installing apache on ubuntu [21:02] Bluetoothmouse: usb doesnt automatically mean external [21:02] gauz: a doubt or a problem? [21:02] OpenSourcedNick: I mean the autocorrection is done on another dictionary ... I'd like to change it [21:02] How do I stop the booting from force-loading fbcon? I don't want it.

[21:03] Jordan_U, yeah, lilo is a pain, but it's a pain i got used to :-) [21:03] anyway, I connected my usb and it doesn't auto-mount, what to do? [21:03] i installed apache using sudo apt-get install apache2 [21:03] OpenSourcedNick: ok thanks [21:03] I am running 9.10, but I canot get Teamspeak client to work. Right now I don't even have sound. [21:03] Jordan_U, nah, I don't like initrd [21:03] Docteh: How? delete the .ko? [21:03] but cannot find the 'apache' folder under /usr/local/ [21:03] and so cannot access bin folder [21:03] Jordan_U, nah, usually just place what i need in the kernel [21:03] am i installing the correct apache package? [21:03] gauz, is that you from undernet? [21:03] Jordan_U, don't like modules either :-p [21:03] yeahhhhh [21:03] shentino: edit /etc/modules.d/blacklist and then mkinitrd or update initrds [21:04] spectre_: initramfs is for more than just modules :) [21:04] thanks [21:04] gauz: Package files usually go to /usr/bin [21:04] !blacklist [21:04] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » === Guest88666 is now known as meff [21:04] i wanna use the bin folder under apache [21:04] i love that thing [21:04] which is supposed to be in /usr/local/apache/bin [21:04] Jordan_U: so I removed the vga line from /etc/default/grub and added the gfxpayload line to /etc/grub.d/40_custom but now the Ubuntu logo looks... psychadelic. [21:04] gauz: Are you installing from repository (apt-get) or from source? [21:04] gauz: that dir gets used when you compile it yourself [21:04] yeah man === meff is now known as Guest87322 [21:04] i installed apache using sudo apt-get install apache2 [21:05] ohhhh [21:05] gauz: custom compiled apache is not supported [21:05] if you install packages files are elsewhere [21:05] spectre_: For Ubuntu you should specify root=UUID=< The uuid of your root device> instead of a hard coded device [21:05] gauz: I'll repeat - binaries installed from packages go to /usr/bin [21:05] Jordan_U, I just never saw an advantage in initrd so far (except that distributers can put drivers and stuff in there like for raid controllers, etx) [21:05] gauz: as grawity said, the repo version is the best way to go [21:05] ikonia: I didn't? [21:05] fuck [21:05] language, byk [21:05] i am working on a project where in i have to make custom methods for apache [21:05] grawity: sorry - thought you did [21:05] and need the /bin folder version [21:05] ummmm [21:05] gauz: then you need to read the apache documentation on how to use it [21:06] spectre_: i crammed enough to ssh in, into an initrd ;) [21:06] okk! [21:06] Ok. One other question. I need to unzip a .zip file. I used unzip filename.zip and i got 'cannot find filename.zip, period'. Am I doing this wrong? [21:06] spectre_: You can put scripts in the initrd that run before root is mounted, so that you can find the root device by UUID for instance [21:06] gauz: this channel is for ubuntu support [21:06] Jordan_U, ok, I can try that - how do I determine the UUID from my gentoo sys ? [21:06] i know [21:06] thanks ppl! [21:06] spectre_: blkid [21:06] anarcap: uhm, you might not be doing it from the right directory, or you might be using lowercase instead of uppercase or vice versa [21:06] Back again guys. [21:06] anarcap: Are you in the correct directory? Try 'ls -l filename.zip' [21:06] oooo [21:06] I've gotta question. . . [21:06] i usually look in /dev/disk/by-uuid [21:06] anarcap: type tar xvzf filename [21:06] anarcap: if tar will unzip files [21:07] I've got a Ubuntu box connected to a wireless home network. [21:07] jeffmr: ehm, if it's an actual .zip file, tar won't work at all. [21:07] tar does .zip now? [21:07] Docteh: He doesn't have that in Gentoo since he isn't using udev [21:07] Docteh: not really [21:07] Jordan_U: ah [21:07] grawity - Ok, I did that. Now I have a line w/ file information on it. [21:07] Can a Windows box map a Windows partition (FAT32 and/or NTFS) on my machine to explore? [21:07] i usually apt-get install unzip for zip files [21:08] hello [21:08] LordHawke13: yea [21:08] !ntfs [21:08] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [21:08] What may be the reason for Ubuntu not recognizing the sound card if speaker-test plays sound correctly? [21:08] How'd I go about that? [21:08] LjL. Pretty sure i'm taking case into account, but thanks [21:08] Jeffmr: "if tar" - that's a command? [21:09] LordHawke13: the ntfs-3g works well for me [21:09] connor_: You could try asking in #grub but it might be an issue with usplash rather than your grub configuration === Guest87322 is now known as meff [21:09] Docteh, What's that mean. . . ? [21:09] anarcap: tar is the command but I think Ljl is right its not for zip files [21:09] If I wanted to create a link, which would link from mydomain.com/~user, and I have ~/user/public_html, how would I do that? I have already tried ln -s /var/www/~user /home/user/public_html, but that doesn't appear to work [21:09] can anyone tell me why i can't copy a file larger than 4 gb to my usb disk?

( pgrep pulseaudio ) [21:12] MountManager rewrote my /etc/fstab and now I can't mount USB, what should I do? [21:13] MenZa: i still think it's the other way around... ln [OPTION]...

[21:16] Ah, jrib [21:16] MenZa: what you want to do is use the "userdir" module in apache [21:16] but I didn't try putting the uuid in lilo.conf [21:16] jrib: Which automatically uses ~/public_html/? [21:16] MenZa: yeah [21:16] jrib: I see. [21:16] jrib: Yeah, that would be better. [21:16] spectre_: Note you also have to have lilo load the initramfs [21:16] jrib: Thanks :) [21:16] ?

I think that it's because of my /etc/fstab file, could that be the problem? because there isn't any line on USB devices there === Guest12713 is now known as meff [21:19] chris78v: are you unable to setup your router or unable to connect to your wireless network?

I had ubuntu 9.10 installed and installed win7 after that side by side. i start automaticly in win7 now. how do i restore grub so i can choose what os i will use?

[21:20] spectre_: Or just use the kernel that comes with Ubuntu. Modules don't bite, I promise :) [21:20] Docteh: they are all on the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. this what you mean? [21:20] Docteh: i got "-" for the pid [21:20] derp: I do. Will I need some external package to make it work? [21:20] mengu: the syntax i gave you lists the PID. anyway, you really should go to the root of the problem and uninstall, or firewall, the "offending" process rather than just killing it, which is temporary. [21:20] it depends, it may require the use of proprietary drivers [21:21] but then again it may not [21:21] mengu: oh then do it as root [21:21] check the ubuntu wiki for your specific model [21:21] i just got the router and the set up disk does not work with this os [21:21] derp: ok it just make the battery icon appears on the task bar [21:21] Is there anyway i can reset a lost user id? [21:21] Doctech: how do you use the task command? [21:21] chris78v: then this is not an ubuntu problem. you need to contact the vendor [21:21] Jordan_U, just to make You smile : I installed a new kernel, cause I didn't know how to boot anything with initramfs using lilo :) [21:21] hydester: then adding a default route shouldn't do anything assuming the netmask is correct [21:21] kattman: what do you mean by "a lost user id"?

How can I encourage it to see the light? [22:02] Jordan_U, nothing i guess it is not running [22:02] The c++ file was created in Documents and when I click on build and run it doesn't work [22:02] Kalisto_: add .../sunbird to your ld-library path [22:02] ItchyHobo, for starters upi could see if pdftotexrt will handle whole folders and do somethong like "pdftotext * | grep "what you are looking for" [22:02] ItchyHobo, make sense? [22:02] DasEi: The update-manager says that my system not needs update [22:02] ItchyHobo: Check the preferences in Sysetem > Preferences > Searching and Indexing [22:03] !version | shkiper [22:03] shkiper: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [22:03] ScabbyMadman, yep it does actually but the pdfs are laid out in table format, so converting them to text would mess up the formatting and [22:03] help! i can't import my pgp keys into karmic :( [22:03] Jordan_U, cool didnt know gnome desktop could peek inside files themselves and fish out strings [22:03] shkiper: karmic, neweset is 9.10, also cat /etc/lsb-release [22:04] ItchyHobo, you can probably use pdftotext to convert those pdfs to text files and run grep on them [22:04] lol [22:04] ItchyHobo, just pipe the output into grep === Guest81021 is now known as meff [22:04] usser, xactly [22:04] but just use apipe [22:04] Jordan_U, did a clean install of karmic no there is no search and indexing [22:04] | [22:04] may someone please point me to how I can properly ssh into my box (without using a password - as i currently do) - I'm told the better way is to keep a single copy of a "key" on hand and the same one on my box. i just don't know where to start reading up on that. is that what "pgp" keys are?? === meff is now known as Guest26687 [22:04] *point me to where i can start reading* [22:05] !ssh [22:05] So if I understand. Ubuntu it the worst os if you wanna be fast for programmation6 [22:05] 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) [22:05] usser, yeah but then it would make no sense as the pdf are like excel sheets [22:05] so, oddly enough, ubuntu is mapping my keyboard as /dev/input/js0 as well as a normal input device. This is a pain in the butt, as the calibration is all off and it's messing up some of my gaming. [22:05] usser, i lose the formatting i lose the cells and rows [22:05] Ideas? [22:05] There is like 9000 permissions and things like that to be protected from yuorself [22:05] I just wanna work [22:05] Ironicus, eh, bzzz wrong, ubuntu is the best OS for programming with all the tools already built-in [22:05] ItchyHobo, try it on one file and see wat come up [22:05] usser, xactly [22:05] i know that ssh is a way for me to connect (like a replacement for telnet) - but i mean, a way to use a key, instead of a password [22:05] yea [22:06] thats why I can't use codeblock [22:06] Ironicus what is yur questiion or issue you wanto solve [22:06] ItchyHobo, yea but you only need to find the name of the file which contains the string [22:06] ?? [22:06] How do I create an ext4 fs in Jaunty? [22:06] ItchyHobo, once you find your filenames get rid of all text files [22:06] Ironicus: ubuntu is based on linux which is coded in c so it might be helpful to learn a little about unix to use it [22:06] why can't i create a pgp key in karmic on this fresh install? :( does one of the updates break pgp? [22:06] I simply wrote something that say "hello world and when I build and run it says permissions denied [22:06] usser, use a pipe into grep wont clutter up anything [22:07] usser, yeah but can i have a nice little gui for that, beagle or strigi or something u might suggest that works well with karmic [22:07] how permission could be denied if I am the only user [22:07] Ironicus: try chmod a+x yourfile [22:07] DasEi: lsb_release don[t work without parameter "a", it's says "No LSB modules are available" [22:07] Ironicus, in C or what? === pwnlord is now known as amenotep [22:07] usser, cuz i need to search a lot of transaction codes [22:07] c++ [22:07] jzacsh, read up on that http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/152 [22:07] thank you :) [22:08] and the permissions are what on the file [22:08] ItchyHobo, tracker should be able to index contents of pdfs [22:08] shkiper: lsb_release -a [22:08] hey does anyone know why my ubuntu machine might not be able to resolve my windows machine name anymore? [22:08] ItchyHobo: I thought tracker was installed by default. I guess it isn't but it purports to be able to index pdfs and has an option for how many lines of text it should index per file [22:08] usser, how do i install it [22:08] DasEi: Release: 9.04 [22:08] omg pleeeease someone help lol [22:08] usser, that would be amazing if tracker can do that Ill run it on my scanned copy of my 1996 mazda shop manual [22:08] my pgp is broken, what's the deal? [22:09] Jordan_U, did a clean install of karmic to get ext4; u r right though; it is not installed by default [22:09] it still doesn't work even with all right I can give [22:09] hi there, how can i tell if a running ubuntu installation is on 32 or 64bit? kernel packages are just called "generic"... [22:09] shkiper: if you called update-manager, should open a gui with a heading new version available [22:09] ScabbyMadman: It doesn't do OCR, most PDFs contain actual text data === Guest26687 is now known as meff [22:09] I need to connect to my company e-mail (exchange) using evolution.

[22:29] amenotep: doesnt the modem have an ethernet port? === Guest4959 is now known as meff [22:29] Billiard: it's a 3G modem. so it's only usb [22:29] ardchoille: if it's important, sure [22:29] DasEi: 32bit [22:29] I'm after help with Ubuntu One. I cannot seem to get rid of the .u1conflict extension from folders and I cannot seem to sync particular folders.

[22:33] Okay..so..I might be in need of a bit of assistance here.. I'm not sure I'm in the right place, though.. I'm having some ~really strange behavior, and I suspect it's a hardware problem, but I'm hoping someone can help me diagnose it better. =/ (I'm running Ubuntu Hardy) [22:33] how do i change the theme of gdm ? === ryu2 is now known as ryu === Guest50948 is now known as meff [22:34] freaky[t]: Change the default and cancle the "random one" [22:34] hi all.

[22:35] hey all.. does anyone know how to fix this issue? my ubuntu machine has an old IP for one of my windows machines, and I can't figure out how to tell it the new one... === ziggy_ is now known as ziggy [22:36] shkiper: depending on your location, it might be usefull to change locales via synaptic after the update- thingy [22:36] freaky[t] In my case, just tune the right of "Session" [22:36] sinsun, what do u mean? [22:36] Basically, my box locks up after it's been up for awhile, and then it doesn't start back up until it's been down for awhile, which makes me think heat, but nothing that's being monitored (CPUs, GPU, THRM) is overheating, nothing is showing up in my logs, etc. I'm at a loss. =( [22:36] Im trying to install Karmic Net Book Remix on a Eee PC 900 from a usb stick I created with usb-creator. Before creating the usb stick I verified the image with md5sum. The computer gets as far as SYSLINUX 3.53 but stops with a boot: prompt. When I press enter the computer says Could not find kernel image: linux. Has anyone else come across this problem? [22:36] Cainus: have you tried right clicking in the network manager, editing connections and changing the ip for manual? [22:37] Kooshy: that still leaves stuff that isn't monitorable like psu [22:37] Kooshy: bad elcos ? [22:37] change what IP? doesn't network manager manage the machine you run it on? [22:37] Um.. elcos? [22:38] Cainus: you have the option of manually assigning ips. If it's on automatic most likelly it's a problem of the router and not of the network manager [22:38] And yeah, I was thinking PSU.. I just cleaned it to see if that would help, and it -was- filthy, but it didn't seem to make a difference. [22:38] hey guys can anyone here help me get Grub installed from the livecd, I am trying to get this to work on my mac pro. The install seems to go fine however afterwards it goes to grub's rescue prompt [22:38] can anyone help me with installing ubuntu on the OLPC XO laptop?? [22:38] Kooshy: electronic equip to store electicity, can burst/overheat, fade out when older [22:38] amenotep: so it's a way of writing to my hosts file? [22:39] I have installed the boot loader to the same partition as the root directory for my install sdb3 [22:39] jcrawford, macbook pro uses efi instead of bios, are you using bootcamp? [22:39] jcrawford: i didn't know you could use grub on a mac (last i installed, a couple years ago - you had to use a different boot loader, as macs are different) [22:39] Hrm. Well, I don't think it's very old - maybe a year or two tops. I suppose that doesn't rule it out, though.. [22:39] DasEi: "capacitors" ? [22:39] I have a feeling it is just the bootloader not working properly because the live cd runs fine === Guest4489 is now known as meff [22:39] ++efi that's what I had used [22:39] guys I have rEFIt installed too [22:39] Docteh: thanks [22:39] jcrawford, also reFit [22:39] which allows me to choose the OS, then it boots to grub from there [22:39] jcrawford, oh [22:39] and goes to the grub rescue > === meff is now known as Guest89545 [22:40] i'm not sure you need it to go to grub afterwards [22:40] jcrawford: You shouldn't install grub to a partition, you should install it to the MBR, or in the case of macs which use GPT, the bios boot partition [22:40] Cainus: check for yourself, network manager is fairly intuitive. If it still doesnt get the correct ip configuration most likelly it's a router problem (i am ofc assuming you are running on a desktop with ubuntu 9.04 or higher) [22:40] capacitors, Kooshy [22:40] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8324009#post8324009 having an issue with iwlcore and iwl3945, anyone here have an intel 3945?

[22:40] amenotep: yeah checked myself already of course... I don't see a way to assign names to IPs [22:40] amenotep: never had a problem before now I get this " 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]()" [22:40] lotec, that's the last resort i would like to get it to be dual boot [22:41] jcrawford: You should not install it to a partition at all === arooni_____ is now known as arooni [22:41] zedster, why are you using backported modules???

[22:41] Jordan_U, then where should it be installed to? All the how-tos say not to install to hd0 as it tries by default because that messes up the EFI stuff [22:41] zedster, iwl3945 has been stable since jaunty [22:41] jcrawford: you know vmware runs just like a normal pc. what is there you need to do that you cant do in vmware? [22:41] freaky[t]: what do you want to do? [22:41] jcrawford: "grub-install /dev/sda" rather than "grub-install /dev/sda3" [22:41] lotec, i know that but i would rather not us VM if possible [22:41] jcrawford: *or in virtualbox [22:41] Cainus: One question: in the other machines did you manually assigned ips or is it automatic? [22:42] Jordan_U, ok so now I need to know how to install from live cd [22:42] amenotep: manual [22:42] jrib, execute gdmsetup but it needs root privs so - i need the equivalent of ksudo [22:42] because the howto on ubuntu forums will not work for me, sec i will get the link [22:42] jcrawford: That's grub legacy, grub2 is smarter and knows how to deal with gpt properly [22:42] freaky[t]: gksudo [22:42] usser: I know that, somehow when I was trying to get it working in OSX it affected ubuntu [22:42] ok thanks [22:42] jcrawford: i can understand wnating an actual install to a partition, but I think you should try again and not install with grub. [22:42] Jordan_U, so i should do a fresh install and install bootloader to sdb [22:42] usser: I've reinstalled the kernal and modules [22:42] amenotep I have a router behind another router, so dhcp wasn't working well [22:42] jcrawford, you know if you install grub wrong, it will mess up the computer and you will not be able to boot at all. the mac cd can not fix that [22:42] still nothing [22:42] Cainus: Do this: Go to edit connections, on the wired connection (i'm assuming its auto eth0) click on it and then click edit [22:42] anyone any idea what might be the reason why i don't have the "gnome 2.0 project" type in anjuta when choosing "new"->"project" ? (on karmic x86) [22:43] jzacsh, when i do not install grub rEFIt does not see it [22:43] zedster, maybe a kill switch is on. ie button that turns wifi on/off [22:43] has no idea how to boot it [22:43] usser: yes, but thats not the problem as far as I can tell [22:43] Cainus: on the ipv4 settings change the method to MANUAL [22:43] zedster, which mac machines use intel wifi? [22:43] jcrawford, are you using bootcamp? [22:43] jcrawford: No need to do a fresh install [22:43] usser: if I boot with it off and then turn it on I get the same issue [22:43] usser: :-) [22:43] amenotep: it is manual [22:43] lotec, i have isntalled this about 100x now trying to get it to work and so far have been able to recover by doing the partitioning in the linux live cd or mac disk utility ;) [22:43] !grub2 | jcrawford [22:43] none [22:43] jcrawford: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

[22:52] stealth: only thing I can think of (w/my limited experience) is to run the apps that give you problems via the command line. this way you can see if they output anything to standard error (even run a 2 > ./whatever/file/you/can/watch) [22:53] hi [22:53] i have a partition with the old ubuntu,but i want to remove it and combine it with my main partition,how do i go about doing that?

[22:56] what is "Bus errorackage lists... 0%"? [22:56] stealth: i'd say, if its worth it to fix rather than wipe/resinstall: go to each project and read about each app's use of /etc/logs [22:56] jcrawford: Outside the chroot ( in another shell ) run "sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc" [22:56] Berklib: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [22:56] Jordan_U, this is my fdisk -l: http://pastebin.com/m9eed8db [22:56] Jordan_U, trying that now sec [22:56] so i should run these 2 commands? [22:57] stealth: eg. I know I've found a ridiculously large amount of help just reading Apache docs. you can see what apache has documented about its use of logs, and see if you can fixe the problem. but i guess, answering your original question: i don't think there's a quick fix here :( [22:57] Berklib, use a live CD with gparted to erase the old partition and to add that space to your main partition [22:57] jzacsh: yeah, unfortunately my backup system became broken just recently and I figured "yeah, its not like i'm gonna need it over the next few days, i'll just recreate the backups when I fix it" [22:57] nkei0: look for QCad [22:57] http://funroll-loops.info/ [22:57] jzacsh: okay, thanks for the help, I'm sure i'll figure it out over time :) [22:57] ok Jordan_U after doing as you suggested that error went away but I still get this: Cannot find list of partitions!

[23:42] it went to grub and said no disk found [23:42] how do i maximize an application after it has been minimized - imimize firefox and others cant tell if it is actually minimized or closed [23:42] grub rescue > [23:42] epinky: http://paste.ubuntu.com/319611/ [23:42] jcrawford: Ok, I have never used grub-efi but I can try to help you install it [23:42] cool i would appreciate it :0 [23:43] ok [23:43] epinky: the correct printer is listed on line 6, the rest are windows erroniously created printers... >_> [23:43] nic1: have got a video-file or dvd araound ?

(just trying weechat :P) [23:44] puff: i know how to use gparted well, what must you know? [23:44] anyone recommend a good video editor? always used vdub on doze [23:44] zopiac: network printer, Via SAmba [23:44] nic1: apart from using gui, can do : vlc /media/scd0 , assuming one optical drive mounted there [23:44] I had thought that what I need to do is unfeasible without lots of moving stuff around, but this article seems to imply it's doable. === meff is now known as Guest17646 [23:45] epinky: ok [23:45] zopiac: I have three partitions, 5GB, 10GB and 38GB. [23:45] zopiac: /, /home and /bulk [23:45] What happened to "open terminal here"? === kiwifunk is now known as zz_kiwifunk [23:46] zopiac: then enter the name of your share as you saw on smbtree , you'll have to change backslash with slash [23:46] zopiac: However, as it turns out (despite all advice to the contrary when I was setting up this box :-) that's not big enough. [23:46] is that a command for the terminal? [23:46] zopiac: I'd like to grow the 5GB partition for / to 8 or so. [23:46] puff: are these partitions in order on the drive, the 5, 10, and 38? [23:48] nic1: yes, for accesing dvd in scd0 [23:48] nic1:: vlc /media/scd0 [23:48] thanks [23:48] Hello [23:49] I have a quick question. I just installed ubuntu v9.10 netbook remix on my Compaq Mini 110c-1001NR PC [23:49] nic1: also has a gui under apps>enntertainment [23:49] I can't see a wireless [23:49] nic1: or just vlc in trml [23:49] which codecs do i have to install to be able to watch avi/xvid files? (say, a daily show episode off the internet, or my porn collection) [23:49] Is there anything I can do to get it working? === Guest17646 is now known as meff [23:49] zopiac: Hm, I think so, but how do you check? I just tried fdisk -l and it says "partitions are not in disk order" [23:49] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d6e8aab32 [23:49] zopiac: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d6e8aab32 [23:49] userfriendly: ubuntu-restricted-extras [23:49] thx === meff is now known as Guest61965 [23:50] jcrawford: That looks like it leaves out some steps and I have no idea why he chose to link to a package in a bug report rather than just installing the grub-efi package in the repositories [23:50] puff: open gparted. the bar at the top should show you them [23:50] I'm thinking of buying two Samsung 2343bw @ 2048x1152 resolution. Would this work in ubuntu? [23:51] !cinerama | Fujk [23:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about cinerama [23:51] Fujk: If your hardware supports it it should [23:51] puff: what are you attempting to do on the partitions? if you wish only to install ubuntu, one partition should be fine [23:51] !xinerama | Fujk [23:51] Fujk: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [23:51] Fujk : graphics card is more the matter [23:51] puff: and many other linux distros have automatic setups for multiple partitions for /, /boot, and /home [23:51] that's about all i could find on installing grub-efi [23:51] Cladius1984, in a terminal type sudo lshw -C network look carefully at the output, you are looking for your Wireless nic, and (hopefully) a "driver=" section... [23:51] ok thanks [23:52] jcrawford: http://grub.enbug.org/TestingOnEFI [23:52] loading now [23:52] guys [23:52] zopiac: I already have ubuntu installed; the / partition is out of space. Everybody said 5B should be more than enough. Apparently they were wrong :-( [23:53] Looking for a music player with small memory footprint, any suggestions? (already tried VLC, rhythmbox and songbird but CPU goes wild.) [23:53] puff: i would think that 5bg is quite a bit too small... [23:53] jm2k: mpd [23:53] puff: yup, filled up easily [23:53] jm2k: audacius2 [23:53] thats how to do it all from within OS X right Jordan_U? [23:53] if i have ubuntu netbook edition installed, can I install kubuntu netbook edition too? [23:53] Hmmm...says vlc command is not found in terminal [23:53] greezmunkey: Thank you. I do see the Broadcom BCM4312 adapter. It says driver=b43-pci-bridge [23:54] puff: do you know generally how to use gparted? like, resizing and moving partitions? [23:54] jcrawford: Yes [23:54] puff: nic1: sudo apt-get install vlc* < Cladius1984, that's good, are you using NetworkManager? [23:54] ok === Guest61965 is now known as meff [23:54] Jordan_U, ok i will reboot to OS X and try this then.. I will actually do this tomorrow don't have anymore time tonight :9 [23:54] jcrawford: You can do the grub-mkimage step from the Ubuntu liveCD, just install grub-efi [23:54] :( [23:54] g'day all [23:54] zopiac: Okay, according to gparted, I have /dev/sda2 which has partitions /dev/sda5 (5gb, / ), /dev/sda6 (10gb, /home) and /dev/sda7 (38gb, bulk partition).. === meff is now known as Guest57775 [23:55] Greezmunkey: The network connections utility in System? [23:55] !info vlc | nic1 [23:55] nic1: vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.2-1ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 1581 kB, installed size 3788 kB [23:55] I'm trying to grab some video using a pinnacle dazzle and this command : ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -s 640x480 -r 30000/1001 -i /dev/video1 -f avi -vcodec mjpeg -s 640x480 -r 30000/1001 -y but the video is not so good. Does anyone know how to improve the quality [23:55] DasEi: Come again? [23:55] Cladius1984, yes, or on the "bar" at the top right of your screen... [23:55] puff: sry, last msg nick-missed [23:56] how can I reboot into another GRUB 2 entry? [23:56] jcrawford: If you ever need more grub help for mac you should ask in #grub, I doubt many people in here are going to be at all familiar with grub-efi :) [23:56] not default [23:56] zopiac: I guess I generally understand partitioning, wouldn't say I'm an expert. I thought it was basically impossible to "move" partitions around, only to shrink a partition if it has unused space. [23:56] ZanQdo: Use grub-reboot or just hold shift at boot to see the menu [23:56] Jordan_U, thanks for that tip I will do that next time, same network? [23:56] says dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg--configure-a' [23:56] jcrawford: Yes [23:56] puff: its possible, but it takes a while. thankfully, it is all automatic, and you only have to wait [23:56] I use two keyboards, one for each hand. In 9.10 when I hold the left-keyboard-shift and press 'aa' I get "aA" however it should be "AA". In 9.04 I fixed this by setting "AutoAddDevices=0" in xorg.conf, but in 9.10 this disables all of my keyboards! Any ideas? [23:56] Jordan_U: oh interesting.. btw SSHing here so no way to hold shift [23:56] thanks Jordan_U [23:57] zopiac: Cool. [23:57] puff: i think you might need to run gparted from a livecd, however [23:57] zopiac: How long is "a while", 10-20 minutes or 4-5 hours? [23:57] ZanQdo: Then grub-reboot is what you want [23:57] zopiac: Yeah... [23:57] jcrawford: np [23:57] (btw, i press 'aa' and get "aA" on the right keyboard to get this behavior.) [23:57] my compiz effects are not working [23:57] nic1: sudo dpkg--configure-a && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [23:57] ZanQdo: It will change the default for exactly one boot [23:57] Jordan_U: awesome, looking into that [23:57] nic1: sudo dpkg --configure-a && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ^typo [23:57] !compiz |ubottu [23:57] blackshell: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [23:57] puff: for moving an 80gb partition i think it took about 2 hours? time depends on drive speed, and size, though, and tit therefore very varying [23:58] puff: er, and it is therefore [23:58] zopiac: Given my current situation, I have 3GB free on /home and 9GB free on /mcgee. [23:58] hey all [23:58] All I see in the network manager is Wired network eventhough lshw -C network sees the wifi adapter [23:58] anyone knows how to enable compiz fusion? [23:58] Anyone mind helping me? [23:59] hello everyone [23:59] !ask [23:59] 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. :-) === Guest57775 is now known as meff [23:59] <[-jon-]_> I'm seeming to have to amplify my microphone to rediculous amounts in order for it to go to a reasonable level. Any ideas as to what would be causing this? [23:59] Cladius1984, in a terminal type this first, tell me what you see, iwconfig [23:59] zopiac: And I can probably free up more space on either /home by moving stuff to /mcgee, or on /mcgee by deleting stuff I have on other media.
