=== meff is now known as Guest68920 [00:00] Does anyone here know a good nes emulator for linux? [00:00] When you install freetype from the repos where does it install? /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib? [00:00] flootenkerp: gfceu? [00:00] ChaoticSinZ, locate freetype [00:00] blackshell: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager fusion-icon [00:01] puff: then reducing a partition by about 3-5gb (maybe more if you want to move some files to aother partition than shrink) and then moving the partitions to one size and making the / partiton fill out the new free space is my suggestion [00:01] ChaoticXSinZ: "dpkg -L " will show all of the files that package installs [00:01] greezmunkey: lo - no wireless extensions | eth0 no wireless extensions [00:01] I install fceu epinky, but then I didn't know where to start it up [00:01] ChaoticXSinZ: maybe a sudo updatedb before locate [00:01] epinky: all right, everything works great! well, the printer is a dinosaur, but the print function now works [00:01] Well I have it installed in both /usr/lib and /usr/lib/local and that is causing problems with any gtk app [00:01] man i'm having a rough night.. one of my disks' partitions got corrupted. not sure how. i'm trying to run testdisk from the live cd to see if i can recover anything, but my cd rom drive doesn't work too well so it keeps getting read fails :( [00:01] hey guys - what program converts mp4 to mp3? [00:01] [-jon-]_: Are you sure it's a mic input and not line input? [00:01] zopiac: great, glad you've solved it :) [00:02] Cladius1984, sounds like a driver conflict, in a terminal type cat dmesg, and pate the results i the pastebin [00:02] epinky, where would I start it up? [00:02] paste [00:02] I get: "gedit: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2: undefined symbol: FT_Library_SetLcdFilter" [00:02] epinky: heck all i did was put in a few commands and let you handle it :P [00:02] but if I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib it works [00:02] epinky: thanks a ton, now i dont have to rely on my dad's computer to print stuff [00:03] sudo ldconfig -p | grep freetype shows that its using the /usr/local/lib one by default [00:03] how can I change that? [00:03] i made a bootable usb disk of the live cd and eventhough i changed the boot seq in the bios it is not picking up 'removable device' [00:03] zopiac: I guess what I meant was, I can shrink /mcgee by 3-5GB and then grow / by the same amount. that's probably the easiest thing for me to do, since /mcgee has 9GB free. [00:03] Ill brb [00:03] Hi all. How can I add chinese input to? === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [00:03] anything? [00:04] I'm on the fence of chosing ATI vs nvidia :( [00:04] zopiac: Or I can shuffle stuff around to shrink /home by 3GB instead. Is there any functional reason to prefer that? [00:04] how do i list devices via command line? [00:04] puff: yeah, youll just have to move the partitions to the right (or left, depending on the setup) to give the other partition room to grow === Guest68920 is now known as meff [00:04] i forgot [00:04] puff: depends on how much more you put on one partition than the other. [00:04] Does anyone else know a good nes emulator for linux? [00:04] flootenkerp: gfce is already installed, right? [00:04] stryker: system->preferences->language support [00:04] dravekx: lspci lsusb [00:05] flootenkerp: there's a functional one in add/remove === meff is now known as Guest36334 [00:05] Yes epinky [00:05] Fujk: sad bad true driver support is mostly better for nvidia, though some atis do fine, do, got ask for certain models, check : [00:05] !hardware [00:05] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [00:05] So how do you change the default freetype lib from the one in /usr/local/lib to /usr/lib? [00:05] flootenkerp: then go Applications->Games-> GFCE [00:05] fcuk112: actually i am in linux mint, based on ubuntu, but a little different. i did find language support === Tru7h_ is now known as Tru7h [00:05] hm, don't see it [00:06] DasEi: what bugs me is that current nvidia does not have support for DX11 ... for my dual boot games purpose [00:06] greezmunkey: where do I paste the dmesg results? [00:06] Anybody? [00:06] who wants to help me with this karmic install? [00:06] stryker: c search synaptic, or use apt-cache search [00:06] could you give me the terminal command to install it epinky? [00:06] Cladius19841: pastebin [00:06] jatt: thx that did the trick. [00:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com [00:06] flootenkerp: then type "gfceu" [00:06] then paste back the entire url it gives you... [00:07] zopiac: Well I'd slightly prefer to keep the /mcgee partition larger... [00:07] mount: mount point /usb does not exist << what does that mean? [00:07] zopiac: The idea is to put expendable files on /mcgee so I can more efficiently back up /home [00:07] Fujk: I'm another budget range, but there are many posts about that out, got to ask here or google ubuntu + specific model [00:07] anybody know any reasons why my asus motherboard won't boot from a usb device? [00:07] dravekx: there is no /usb dir [00:07] greezmunkey: Any idea why I might have another version of freetype in /usr/local/lib than /usr/lib which messes up GTK apps? [00:07] I'll try reinstalling it, could you give me the terminal command epinky? [00:07] lotec, do i need to create one to mount my USB drive? [00:07] I used a download online [00:08] Greezmunkey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/319624/ [00:08] So idk the command [00:08] ChaoticXSinZ, none, sorry. [00:08] Dravekx: you can, or you can mount it where ever you want [00:08] studebaker: most likely the usb is bad, legacy, usb full also enabeld ? handle usb as disk ? [00:08] flootenkerp: sudo aptitude install gfceu [00:08] zopiac: Come to think of it, I just torched some files on /home so now I have 4GB free on it. [00:08] dravekx: you can mount it to /tmp [00:08] greezmunkey: Well any chance you know how to change which shows up in ldconfig? [00:08] studebaker: how did you set up the usb ? [00:08] zopiac: But what I meant is, is it faster to shrink home and expand /, or to shrink mcgee and expand /, or is neither one faster? [00:08] anyone here using karmic on nvraid? [00:08] or jaunty [00:09] dasei: i don't think its bad.. the mobo is pretty new. i made the usb with the usb startup disk creator and put the live cd on it === Guest36334 is now known as meff [00:09] epinky, I got this [00:09] Error: 0: couldn't open source file [00:09] gfceu.ui: No such file or directory [00:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/319624/Claudius, give me a minute... [00:09] puff: i doubt either will be faster, per se === meff is now known as Guest98471 [00:09] studebaker: did you format the stick before with fat 32 ? checked gparted for the bottflag set on it ? [00:09] flootenkerp: when executing aptitude install? [00:10] The flash-plugin package is broken and I can't fix it (keep getting "package is in very bad or inconsistent state"), anyone know what's going on there? [00:10] yeah [00:10] zopiac: Is there any reason to prefer one or the other? [00:10] lotec, I mounted it.. nothing there. hmm.. brb [00:10] zopiac: I'm curious as to what it's actually doing, under the covers so to speak, when I resize the partitions that way. === klem_ is now known as gtrtx [00:11] Do you know what's wrong, epinky? [00:11] lotec, how do i find out what my USB drive is? I thought it was sdc1. I guess its not. [00:11] puff if one is directly next to the / partition, you might be able to shrink it so that it leaves free space next to the / partition so you wont have to move anything, just then grow / [00:11] brain fart, I can't remember the command to change permissions, can someone remind me lol. [00:11] greezmunkey: thank you and take your time [00:11] Dravekx: sudo fdisk -l [00:11] ahhhh.. thanks DasEi [00:11] Is Karmic known to be quite broken with regards to recognition of USB devices? [00:11] dasei: i did format it before.. what's the bottflag? [00:11] DisguisedAngel: chmod [00:11] puff: however, with such small partitions, it shouldnt be a huge problem. if you leave it run overnight there will be no real difference either way [00:11] thx [00:12] flootenkerp: no idea, but you can check this: http://incqre.net/wiki/index.php?title=Lista_de_emuladores [00:12] How can I fix a broken package? [00:12] anyone know how to make ldconfig reset its cache? [00:12] I can't print pdf's to my networked brother mfc 7820n. I've been fighting off and on for a couple of weeks. Can anyone help? [00:12] studebaker: marker for bootable partition, sudo fdisk -l will also show [00:12] can anyone tell me how to change the entries and order in grub 2? [00:12] puff: sorry but i have to go, if you need more help on using gparted, try to ask around some more [00:13] hm [00:13] Ive been staring at pages for the last 15 minuts without understanding a thing [00:13] ZanQdo, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:13] craigbass1976: that was the good old grub [00:13] not in grub2 [00:13] How can I force uninstall a package? [00:13] ZanQdo, Oh, oops. [00:13] zopiac: T hanks muchly. [00:13] Cladius19841, do some google searches with the contents, or parts thereof from here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/312698/ [00:13] ZanQdo: edit /etc/default/grub [00:13] hi everyone, noob trying to set up tvcard here, any takers? i wanna smash my head againsta wall [00:14] ZanQdo: then : sudo update grub [00:14] dasei: so if i do fdisk -l you mean the ones with * as boot? it shows up: /dev/sdb1 * 1 304 1983487+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA) [00:14] Cladius19841, you have 'net access, there is probably an easy fix you can use! === Guest98471 is now known as meff [00:14] studebaker: yup [00:14] DasEi: but the list of entries isnt there [00:14] Cladius19841, I'll look too... [00:14] DasEi: just the timeout and a few other settings [00:14] Any suggestions for a command line rss feed reader? Thanks! === meff is now known as Guest59789 [00:14] greezmunkey: I know :) I was looking on google but couldn't find anything yet. Apparently the previous distro worked right outta the box for the 110c [00:15] ------>Broken Package------->Flash---------->Can't remove--------->Why? [00:15] It looks like an IRQ conflic [00:15] t [00:15] ZanQdo: the numbers that prefix the files in /etc/grub.d should determine the order of entries [00:15] flootenkerp: try with this command : sudo apt-get install fceu gfceu [00:16] ZanQdo: The actual entries are in /boot/grub/grub.cfg [00:16] <[-jon-]_> how can I mount a windows formatted hard drive? [00:16] epinky, it's fine, I installed it with synaptic [00:16] dasei: any other ideas what it might be? i've booted from usb on my netbook before, but maybe there's an extra step i'm missing on a desktop [00:16] I have it now, thanks for your help though [00:16] Jordan_U: no they are not [00:16] trism: ok that's starting to make sense [00:16] changed the boot sequence so 'removable device' came ffirst [00:16] flootenkerp: you're welcome, good luck :) [00:17] studebaker: no other then the mentioned settings in bios, got to set usb as first hd, hanle as disk, legacy enabled, full speed [00:17] Anyone know anything about broken packages, and how to actually remove them? [00:17] ZanQdo: What do you mean? Can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg because it should definitely have menu entries [00:18] Cladius19841, check the last two posts here, you'll be on your way! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8220717 [00:18] ZanQdo: If you want to just list all of the entries you can do: sudo grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep -o '".*"' [00:18] Cladius19841, it's a ndiswrapper thing man. [00:18] should i set my / partition to primary or logical? [00:18] and ext3 or ext4? [00:18] Senesence: sudo apt-get --purge remove PACKAGENAME [00:19] Jordan_U: ok I see them [00:19] epinky: Doesn't the "remove completely" option in synaptic do that? === Guest59789 is now known as meff [00:19] what's the default setting regarding barriers in ext4 in ubuntu 9.xx? [00:19] ZanQdo: I just got my update didn't bring grub2 on this machine; check /etc/grub.d/40_custom for personalized entries === meff is now known as Guest38086 [00:20] Senesence: this or sudo apt-get remove --purge [00:20] Senesence: is you apt still in order ? [00:21] Senesence: yep, but Synaptic sometimes fails [00:21] :) [00:21] VulcanJaded: any of those options should work, but personally I'd choose primary/ext3, because that would be easiest to debug [00:22] greezmunkey: thank you so much. I'll try it out and get back to you :) [00:22] losha, already did the opposite of that (logical/ext4) :( [00:22] Cladius19841, np, good luch :) [00:22] luck [00:22] VulcanJaded: that should work ok too, no problem... [00:23] Hey hey guys [00:23] Hi. There is a Gnome program (or at least it existed in previous versions of Ubuntu) for controlling the different audio channels, input and output. What program is it? Thanks. [00:23] I have a laptop ( HP compaq 6735B ) but the wlan will not work, enyone that can help me :) ? [00:23] Jordan_U: isit safe to comment out entries there? === penol is now known as Penol === Guest38086 is now known as meff [00:24] epinky: Ok, I tried that, but got back the same error: "Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal." [00:24] Penol, what doesn't work? [00:24] I got a question. For fedora its possible to download their entire dvd/cd thing. Can i do that with unbuntu as well instead of using the live cd? ANd when the process is done would there be a difference? I had some issues with my ubuntu's sound and im wondering if i download the more complete one and install that if it might make a difference. Or does unbuntu installed with the live cd update everything to match up the dvd/cd one after [00:24] the basic installations. [00:24] greezmunkey: The wireless network! === meff is now known as Guest4081 [00:24] gasull: gnome-alsamixer? [00:25] why are my access times dissapearing? in ubuntu 9.04, no relatime. they show up, but they never make it to disk and reset when its no longer cached. [00:25] Penol, I get that...how far did you get troubleshooting the problem? [00:25] ..with xfs [00:25] hi guys, does uname -a returning "i686" indicate its the 64bit kernel or just the advanced architecture one over 386? [00:25] ZanQdo: Your changes will be overwritten by update-grub ( just like they would with grub legacy ) [00:25] ZanQdo: Why do you want to comment entries out? [00:25] not really sure whether it has installed 32 or 64 bit by default :s [00:25] greezmunkey: I cant find it when i do lspci, and the wlan is activated in bios, so i dont know why it dont show up :( [00:25] 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 [00:25] arsenip: it's 32-bit [00:25] Jordan_U: because I dont want them to appear in the list [00:26] can anyone answer my question? [00:26] arsenip: i686 is either pentium 3 or 4 [00:26] Does anyone know a good rss reader for the command line? Thanks :) [00:26] thanks lstarnes, is it possible to upgrade after install ? : [00:26] anyone use radeon HD5770 with two screens? [00:26] arsenip: you must reinstall [00:26] running a c2d here so [00:26] oki doki, prolly wont bother for now . [00:26] dasei: bingo. i was choosing 'removable device' as the option in the boot sequence.. didn't know that i could select the usb as the 1st hdd [00:26] xtozze: ubuntu is notorious for sound problems. If you update via the internet after installing, you will end up with a 'complete' system... [00:26] Senesence: what's the name of package? [00:26] epinky: flashplugin-nonfree [00:26] thanks lstarnes :) [00:26] Penol, try this in a terminal... sudo lshw -C network, look at the output that matches your hardware, look for a "driver=" section as well [00:27] ZanQdo: Which entries? If it's old kernels then remove them, if it's memtest remove /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ [00:27] * greezmunkey thinks I've been here before... [00:27] fcuk112: Thanks. I'm installing it. [00:27] losha im actually going to end up switching to fedora because nothing and no one can get my sounds working.. Im wondering if theres ANYTHING left i can try because i lose this linux version but i need my sounds. [00:27] Senesence: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/adobe-flashplugin.prerm [00:27] LOsha my only problem is my microphone it refuses to register the existence of my mic. [00:27] Hi all [00:27] greezmunkey: the lshw -c network gives me only the wired network :( [00:27] HI fil [00:28] Senesence: done? after that: sudo dpkg-reconfigure adobe-flashplugin --force [00:28] Jordan_U: ok so I just have to remove the files in grub.d? [00:28] Penol, then your problem goes a bit deeper, what are you running, laptop? type of wireless nic? [00:28] xtozze: fedora + gnome should look very much like ubuntu + gnome, so go ahead... [00:28] ZanQdo: Yes, then run "sudo update-grub" [00:28] greezmunkey: im not sure what kind of wireless nic it is on my hp compaq 6735B laptop :O [00:28] epinky: No such file... [00:29] Jordan_U: ok [00:29] Penol, internal wireless then? [00:29] greezmunkey: correct :P [00:29] <[-jon-]_> if I mount an iso, where does ubuntu mount it to? [00:29] ZanQdo: you don't need to remove any files in grub.d, just chmod -x them === Guest4081 is now known as meff [00:29] Penol, you familiar with the pastebin? [00:29] Senesence: then change it with your packages name "cd" into /var/lib/dpkg/info/ [00:29] greezmunkey: Yeah :) [00:29] trism: ahh nice === meff is now known as Guest86815 [00:30] [-jon-]_: you *tell* ubuntu where to mount it when you issue the mount command... [00:30] Penol, cat /var/dmesg, and paste it there... [00:30] thanks losha [00:30] <[-jon-]_> losha: i mounted it through the gui [00:30] Senesence: there must be some prerm for nonfree [00:30] [-jon-]_: ok, then open a terminal and type df -h. You should see a line for your mounted iso... [00:31] hello all [00:31] <[-jon-]_> losha: it's not showing up [00:31] ugh losha, one more question is this online update your talking about the automatic one right after the installation is completed or is it something i need to do? because that may be my problem. [00:31] hello Zeratul2k [00:31] epinky: I'm in /var/lib/dpkg/info but there is no file that starts with "adobe" in that directory. [00:31] <[-jon-]_> this was an iso that was mounted when i double clicked it [00:31] having some problems here with my wireless. I have Karmic, it can detect the network normally, but I can't connect to it [00:32] greezmunkey: cat /var/dmesg gives me nothing :O [00:32] xtozze: updates are constantly being posted. You should make sure you have the latest by using the update-manager... [00:32] doesn't seem to be an authentication problem, since I have tested setting WPA, WEP and open in the AP [00:32] Penol, hold a sec... [00:32] greezmunkey: okej :) [00:32] *ok [00:32] epinky: but there is "flashplugin-nonfree.prerm" -> should I remove that? [00:33] [-jon-]_: please post the output of your df -h to http://paste.ubuntu.com so we can see it... [00:33] cat /var/log/dmesg, sorry :) [00:33] hello, is anyone able to help with an install issue (ubuntu studio 9.10) [00:33] ? [00:33] How can I bypass Hulu's regional lock? [00:33] the guys on the ubuntustudio channel don't seem to be there [00:33] any ideas? [00:33] greezmunkey: Ok :) [00:33] Senesence: find it nonfree or something [00:33] nikolaj: whats the issue?

Try mounting it again and then re-run df -h [00:35] i get the first menu where i can check for faults in the disk, choose the language and choose to install but after choosing to install the screen just stays black [00:35] Penol, that's ok, paste it all [00:35] <[-jon-]_> losha: it's showing up in the gui though =\ [00:35] iany ideas?

[00:35] adit007 [00:35] What is the best way to remote into a vista machine given the person on the vista machine can only manage to figure out how to send an RAticket (generated by the remote assitant) [00:35] Hey guys Ive known how to use and love using the man pages for command line tool usage syntax and such. But I just read online by accident that someone said to use man followed by the name of a system file rather than a command. Does this also apply to ubuntu man pages can tell you about certain system config files etc? If so, are probably all config files listed in man pages if you know? Im gonna have to experiment a bit if this is so. [00:35] Since I'm not using Linux anymore, and using Ubuntu. make bzImage modules modules_install did not work, When I boot.. my screen flashes at login and I can see "invalid module format" ... what is the proper way to compile kernel's for Ubuntu?

Thanks. [00:35] [-jon-]_: that's weird, but then, I don't use the gui myself. Maybe someone else who does can help you... [00:36] i thought first of all it might be a graphics issue, but i have no idea where to start [00:36] Billiard: Not working out for me [00:36] Cladius1984, any luck? [00:36] greezmunkey: Yup :) Using wifi right now woohoo [00:36] ndiswrapper [00:36] Arsin: they may block certain proxies as well, idk [00:36] hi all, what's that command to sense the windows partition (for grub)?

I've been fighting off and on for a couple of weeks. Can anyone help? [00:37] greezmunkey: http://pastebin.com/dff753e1 [00:37] Senesence: and finally : sudo dpkg --purge --force-all flashplugin-nonfree [00:37] haha, do you take check or charge? [00:37] linuxguy2009: many system files have man pages documenting their format etc. Often there will be a 'See Also' section at the end of a man page pointing you to other man entries. Also try 'man -k ' to find stuff.. [00:38] brb [00:38] craigbass1976: have you tried doing it through acrobat in ubuntu? [00:38] so no ideas on my problem?

[00:38] Am I doing anything wrong in the GNOME ALSA Mixer? http://yfrog.com/2mscreenshotgnomealsamixep [00:39] epinky: I got this: "dpkg: warning: while removing flashplugin-nonfree, directory '/usr/lib/xulrunner' not empty so not removed." [00:39] <_nnx> Hi everyone [00:39] hi all, what's that command to sense the windows partition (for grub)? -- my win7 partition isn't currently showing up in the grub boot menu === Guest57084 is now known as meff [00:39] Senesence: it's ok proceed with next command [00:39] my laptop can see the network but can't connect to it. It doesn't matters if there's authentication or not (Open system, WEP, WPA) and I get a "Association request to the driver failed" in the syslog === meff is now known as Guest57806 [00:39] when trying to connect [00:40] Senesence: sudo dpkg --purge --force-all flashplugin-nonfree, was finished right? [00:40] epinky: Yes [00:40] greezmunkey: do you find enything ? [00:40] <_nnx> I got myself a bit of a situation here: xserver crashed on me while I was trying to play back a .wmv with compiz enabled. Anyway: I now have no video signal but the system is still active. Last time I hard-rebooted this happened and was forced to do a clean insteall(root.disk got damaged) is there any way I can force a reboot or shutdown blindly? [00:40] Senesence: ok, you need that plugin, right? [00:41] sorry craig, can't think of anything else atm [00:41] zaoul: did you run depmod? [00:41] epinky: I can get it through synaptic now, right? [00:41] Senesence: yep, that's it :) [00:42] bonsoir linuxien [00:42] epinky: Ok, I'll give it a try (just a sec) [00:42] <_nnx> sorry laptop hibernated >.< [00:42] _nnx: depending on your version, ctrl-alt-delete may work. Or is there a hardware reset button on your pc? [00:43] hi, I seem to have lost the indicator-applet from the systray.. how do I get it back? [00:43] Penol, actually no, it would help if you track down what type if internal wireless nic you have, also, next time use: http://paste.ubuntu.com [00:43] <_nnx> there is a hardware reset button, but I'm afraid I'll lose my data again [00:44] <_nnx> ctrl+alt_del as well as ctrl+alt+backspace didn't work [00:44] Penol, are you sure the wireless nic is activated in the BIOS? === Guest57806 is now known as meff [00:44] greezmunkey: its says it activated [00:44] <_nnx> I even tried: ctrl+alt+f1, then sudo reboot [enter], [my password] [enter] === meff is now known as Guest80219 [00:44] greezmunkey: should i check a second time ? [00:45] _nnx: well, it's true that you might lose data. Can you ssh in from another machine? [00:45] Penol, yea, nothing really jumped out at me in the dmesg that you pasted...yes, please [00:45] epinky: Ok, I think things are fine now: Thanks a lot for your help. [00:45] <_nnx> i might be able to [00:45] greezmunkey: ok :) [00:45] okey doke, so no ideas on installing ubuntustudio 9.10? [00:45] Penol, restart first if you could... [00:45] <_nnx> i have ubuntu installed on this laptop, too.. should i reboot to that? [00:45] Senesence: you're welcome, glad you've solved it [00:45] Jordan_U: heh I give up [00:45] <_nnx> and THANKS for all your help, btw! [00:46] so no ideas on my network problem, then? [00:46] that's ok, paste it allPenol [00:46] oops... [00:46] Hi. I am trying to change my screen resolution on Ubuntu 9.10 - from what I understand, there is no xorg.conf in this version - how do I set custom resolutions? (I don't know my monitors exact name etc. so I can't just create a custom xorg.conf) [00:46] anyone seeing gnome-panel "disappear" in NBR/karmic? seems to be random, but often pkill brings it back [00:47] Penol, after you restart, paste your dmesg again. [00:47] anyone have ATI HD5870 with dual monitors? [00:47] greezmunkey: Ok, i will do :D [00:47] <_nnx> oh, okay ... it looks like i'd need to have had a SSH server installed first. Unless runs automatically in 9.04?

[00:49] Hey I could use some help setting up WiFi too. I just got a Acer Revo 3600. Got Ubuntu minimal installed. (using it for media center).

To ssh in you would need to have installed an ssh server. If you didn't, it's too late to do it now. A hardware reset might be your only option at this point if you can't get to a tty... [00:49] lspci shows my device as: 05:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) [00:49] Penol: Don't use ndiswrapper === meff is now known as Guest85549 [00:50] <_nnx> Okay, thanks for all your input.. I guess I'll press the button and bite the bullet... but thanks for letting me know about SSH, I'll be sure to install that once everything's up and running [00:50] Penol: Have you tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? [00:50] Can I use some sort of "iwconfig" command to join it to my network? Will it automatically join that network after every boot? [00:50] Jordan_U: nothing shows up there [00:51] _nnx: did you say you got a login prompt with ctrl+alt+f1 ? [00:51] <_nnx> nah i got blank screen still [00:51] <_nnx> Rebooting: We have grub.... we have progressbar..... aaand login! yay no data loss! [00:51] Penol: Can you pastebin the output of "lspci" ?

Don't know what happened, but the re-install fixed it. [00:58] no, wxBanker [00:58] Penol: And there is no wlan0 in "iwlist scan" ?

Problem must be in the wpa_supplicant, I guess [01:03] Question for the Group, I downloaded the Ubuntu 9.10 iso, but I can't find anything that describes the difference between the live CD, and install CD.

Ofcourse, I could make the Docky "hide". But I don't like it hidden. How can I make the Docky go "over' the window, not below it?

[01:16] Billiard, right i want 1440x900 [01:16] SingAlong: But you said something about the ISO not installing? [01:16] Billiard, did you have some info for me or just checking in [01:16] theblackmasses: no no. the problem wasonly that the usb-imagewriter asked only for img files and not iso. [01:16] Billiard, no option for the 1440x900 [01:16] snuffy47: i sent you a message on msn i think [01:16] LOPA: ok one sec [01:16] rahmen: not too sure but try going to your home folder, and clicking on 'show all files' so you can see the hidden directories also.

I'm using ubuntu 9.10 and just trying to add an upstart service which runs after all of the legacy init scripts. It doesn't seem to be executing though and there doesn't appear to be a way to enable boot logging for upstart.

[01:17] How would I install the Gnome-Do Docky? I've installed Gnome-DO, but don't see anything about a dock [01:17] broadcom device wasnt recognized in nbr until i installed b43-fwcutter, just sayin. fixed it immediately [01:18] davidboy: Change the gnome-do theme in the preferences to "dock(y)" [01:18] emma: I've checked that.. the thing is that I closed the document, and therefor I think all backups are deleted.. (but I really hope they aren't).. when I opened the document my new text was gone and I'm stuck with the version I wrote a few days ago.. [01:18] Billiard, did not get it [01:18] Can anyone help me with a problem with vnc im having? [01:18] SingAlong: Just read the "Copy Files to USB Stick" it shows linux and windows instructions [01:18] davidboy: you'll need to enable desktop effects if you have not done so already [01:18] anyone tell me what remix adds?

[01:26] tits [01:26] Mandi: ok what are the questions? [01:26] k, sorry - i have a desktop running XP that we use as a "server" to store data - it's not typically used; it is also the Internet gateway, so to speak, with the modem wired to it & the wireless router for the laptops, which are all running Vista; we will be double-booting the laptops as there is one particular program that is not currently compatible with ubuntu that we must use for our homeschool [01:26] Billiard, okay thanks [01:26] hi sebsebseb [01:26] LOPA: copy paste it to a pastebin site [01:26] Billiard, what is the site? [01:27] dooglus: hi [01:27] rahmen: Have you closed Open Office since you were working on the most up to date version? [01:27] what is a good movie quick? [01:27] my question is whether i should install the server edition of ubuntu on my "server" or the desktop version - i still don't really understand the differences between the two [01:27] Any experience with OCROPUS? [01:27] Mandi: You can keep the XP server, I believe..there's no compatibility issues [01:27] sebsebseb: i see my book listed but says there are some problems, how do i fix these porblems [01:27] no, i don't want to keep the XP server - that will be a full wipe & ubuntu only machine [01:27] LOPA: there are a bunch pastie.org [01:27] Billiard, http://pastebin.com/mec9b426 [01:27] Mandi: You might be able to get that program working in Wine, if not you can do a virtual machine of Windows I expect for it inside Ubuntu [01:28] <[-jon-]_> when I play video in vlc, it starts flashing red squares all over the video. any ideas? [01:28] lotec: can you give me a little help, again i think...=) plz? [01:28] Mandi: I suggest you install the Desktop version [01:28] upgrade 9.10 ,evolution stops working,blank screen and nothing in the logs, any ideas? thanks [01:28] LOPA: did you try without an xorg.conf [01:28] Mandi: The server disc don't install a GUI [01:28] sebsebseb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks#Acer%20Aspire%20One%20250 [01:28] Billiard, i am using 9.04 [01:28] LOPA: ok [01:28] virtuald: what is a GUI? [01:28] !unr | lotec [01:28] lotec: Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a slightly altered version of Ubuntu, optimised for small screens. For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu [01:28] Jordan_U: No I haven't.. I was wondering if I should force quit it? [01:28] Mandi: The server edition is really for advanced users, it doesn't have any GUI [01:28] theblackmasses: why do you suggest desktop? just so i understand... [01:28] anyone have ATI HD5870 with dual monitors? [01:28] as I understand it, there's not really a different between the desktop and server distributions other than which packages are installed by default. you can install anything on either one of them [01:28] Billiard, i had 9.10 but was not working and thought an xorg.conf might be needed [01:28] !GUI [01:28] The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively) [01:29] sebsebseb: i know what it is, [01:29] epinky: nope, still the same [01:29] !server | dooglus Mandi [01:29] dooglus Mandi: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html - Use the #ubuntu-server channel for support [01:29] Mandi: the server edition doesn't install a desktop environment, everything is done via command line === Guest8509 is now known as meff [01:29] sebsebseb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks#Acer%20Aspire%20One%20250 [01:29] epinky: :( , no ideas sorry [01:29] thx for correcting my irc newbi-isms [01:29] server-specific kernel? what's different with it? [01:29] Man, I'm stupid bored [01:29] dooglus: don't know [01:29] Mandi: Basically the GUI is what you're used to, with pictures and buttons and places to move your mouse. The server edition doesn't hjave any of that; it only lets you type in commands. Unless you're an experienced user who knows almost everything about linux, it would be hard for you to get accustomed to it [01:29] epinky: will have to keep using wired connections for now :s I had the same problem with the university's network a while ago but it was solved when I updated to Karmic [01:29] k, since i still don't get it, obviously, the proper method is desktop - LOL [01:29] evilaim: try #ubuntu-offtopic ? [01:30] upgrade 9.10 ,evolution stops working,blank screen and nothing in the logs, any ideas? thanks === meff is now known as Guest96362 [01:30] rahmen: NO [01:30] sebsebseb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks#Acer%20Aspire%20One%20250 [01:30] theblackmasses: thank you, i get it now [01:30] Mandi: you can run server stuff in the destkop version [01:30] I upgraded to 9.10, now my laptop CPU goes really hot... top tells me nothing takes CPU [01:30] Mandi: don't install the server edition if you need a desktop environment [01:30] Mandi: if you are for example a commercial business though you would probably want to run the server version [01:30] Jordan_U: would this work? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [01:30] Mandi: Yeah, and the desktop can function just as a server, for what you require from it [01:30] epinky: Well, thanks, anyway :D [01:30] My ubuntu 9.1 will not boot. Just installed it, video problem, monitor keeps switching modes, card is nvidia gforce 6150se nforce 430 [01:30] However, the cpu utilisation applet on the top bar says IOWait is always high. [01:30] LOPA: xorg.conf is optional in .10 not sure about x in 9.04 [01:30] Mandi: also you said something about home school before? There are many good educational software for Desktop Linux [01:30] what should I do? [01:30] Zeratul2k: you're welcome [01:30] great! thx everyone [01:31] Mandi: Just curious, why are you making the switch from windows to linux? [01:31] rahmen: There is something you should try first [01:31] sebsebseb: why you not help me? [01:31] Billiard, anything i can add to the file to make this happen you think? [01:31] Jordan_U: oki.. I'm listening [01:31] lotec: ,because I don't know much about the net book version or netbooks in general [01:31] LOPA: try this sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [01:31] LOPA: tell me if it asks for your resolution and stuff [01:31] anyone help me???? wuth netbook [01:31] sebsebseb: yes the software prog i use for our recordkeeping is only for windows, and the emulators do not work b/c of the .NET framework, although i am planning to try some of the educational software, but i need to dual-boot until i can check it out completely [01:32] !hardware | lotec [01:32] lotec: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [01:32] Billiard, didnt add anything to the file [01:32] Mandi: well Mono can run .NET stuff older ones and such [01:32] how can i access gnome-panel controls/preferences? [01:32] Mandi: plus I think there's something else for .NET as well [01:32] rahmen: In a terminal run "lsof | grep office" [01:32] theblackmasses: i am switching b/c i'm tired of long updates that essentially slow the pc down, and an os that slowly chews away at hard drive space and RAM [01:32] Mandi: Have you consider trying Virtualbox and running your aps on a WIN Xp virtual client. [01:32] sebsebseb: thx - i will look into that [01:32] sebsebseb: that is no help says ut has to be installed correctley what that mean [01:32] rahmen: That should show all files currently opened by open office [01:33] Billiard, Thanks for your help [01:33] anyone help me???? wuth netbook [01:33] lotec: what problem is it?, did you mention it? [01:33] Mandi: also I mentioend virtualization earlier well yes Virtualbox you can run Windows inside Ubuntu with that [01:33] Doorman352: i have looked at that, but i don't think it's what i need [01:33] lotec: what's the promble? [01:33] problem? [01:33] snuffy47: np [01:33] bring on the promble! [01:33] i see my book listed but says there are some problems, how do i fix these porblems [01:33] im running 8.10 - and i just install xen-server via apt-get - when it reboot - it threw a low graphics mode warning and wont load X [01:33] rahmen: "lsof | grep office | grep odt" should show only otd documents that are open [01:33] everyone seems to be trying to talk me out of dual-booting - LOL [01:33] i was running the NVIDIA driver 180 [01:33] Mandi: Who is being home schooled? [01:33] I use it, and since the virtual clients are isolated, I don't update them....so they are quick for legacy aps that dont work in Visat/Win 7 [01:33] LOPA: check if xrandr is available in 9.04 try running xrandr [01:33] my 4 children - ages 4 to 9 [01:33] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks#Acer%20Aspire%20One%20250 [01:34] My ubuntu 9.1 will not boot. Just installed it, video problem, monitor keeps switching modes, card is nvidia gforce 6150se nforce 430. what should I do? [01:34] lotec: what problems? [01:34] Mandi: well really dual booting sucks, but sometimes it has to be done [01:34] Mandi: oh right well loads of great software for them in Desktop Linux [01:34] Im runnins a vnc ser ver but when my firend connect all he sees is my desktop as if no windows are open [01:34] Jordan_U, thanks, learned a bunch RE: Broadcom wireless... === Guest96362 is now known as meff [01:34] Mandi: there's Edubuntu by the way, which is really for schools and such, but you can run most/all of those programs in standard Ubuntu as well [01:34] Mandi: also the website is good at explaining what is available [01:34] Mandi: That makes sense..I run variations of linux on older hardware as it allows the computers to function. Crunchbang linux is great. Good luck with it [01:34] Jordan_U: Yeah I can see the file.. but the problem is that I opened it again after the close.. so it's prolly just the old version..?

[01:35] jongbergs: ok [01:35] BluesKaj: depends on hardware, user, and apps, sometimes dual boot is needed yes [01:35] LOPA: what is listed for maximum resolution on xrandr?

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 [01:36] Mandi: It used to be for a while, but now it's a proper distro again, there was a good session about Edubuntu for the 9.10 Open Week [01:36] !openweek | Mandi [01:36] Mandi: Ubuntu is hosting a series of introductory sessions for people who want to join the Ubuntu community, which all takes place in a week.

[01:37] sebsebseb: thx, do you recommend i do that distro instead of ubuntu, then? is the main difference the default packets? or does it operate differently?

Ubuntu can be transformed into Edubuntu and vice versa, [01:38] Mandi: Ubuntu is the base really, so that's the Linux kernel and things like that [01:38] rahmen: At this point it will probably take less time to just re-do it [01:38] linuxguy2009, sebsebseb: thx, i get it [01:38] Mandi: Ubuntu uses Gnome as it's graphical user interface and for a lot of the programs it comes with [01:38] epinky: i have not tried to install yet, if it is all not going to work. i sent you a link [01:39] sudo bash NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.29-pkg1.run - it says it cant find kernel source [01:39] Jordan_U: It's my exam work I've been writing on for the whole day.. are you sure it'll take that long? === Guest8964 is now known as meff [01:39] Mandi: Edubuntu also uses Gnome, and there's Kubuntu with KDE and Xubuntu with XFCE as well [01:39] ? [01:39] LOPA: give this a try http://pastebin.com/m6442f014 backup your old xorg.conf, in case it doesnt work [01:39] h [01:39] paragonc: Should ask you to build the kernel source. [01:39] Mandi: you can have Gnome, KDE, and XFCE all installed in the same Ubuntu install, and then from the log in screen select which one to load up, and one will be the default [01:39] sound not working... [01:39] linuxguy2009: it does but it cant find it === meff is now known as Guest34688 [01:39] rahmen: If you haven't found it by now [01:39] ? [01:40] lotec: look at this http://whatareyoublogging.blogspot.com/2008/09/ubuntu-netbook-remix-on-acer-aspire-one.html [01:40] paragonc: 9.10? [01:40] sebsebseb: wow, it sounds confusing - what would be the purpose of having all those derivatives? instead of just choosing one? [01:40] it says no matching pre-compiled kernel interface [01:40] 9.1 ubuntu sound not working [01:40] 8.10 [01:40] paragonc: you need to install linux-headers-generic I think? [01:40] paragonc, not sudo bash , just sudo [01:40] rahmen: At least re-writing it you have an idea of when it will be done, you could waste a day and be no closer trying to recover what you lost [01:40] !info linux-headers-generic | paragonc [01:40] jongbergs: i tried and even when choosing to try without installing, one screen is black and the other has green lights on it. [01:40] paragonc: linux-headers-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel headers. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.31.14.27 (karmic), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all) [01:40] Mandi: well really the whole point of Desktop Linux is to provice choice, yes choice for nearly any type of app that you can think of, from word proccessing, to graphics design, to games, to browsers, etc [01:40] 9.1 ubuntu sound not working [01:40] paragonc: Go to nvidias website and download the newest one they work fine. [01:41] Mandi: provide above I did a typeo [01:41] rahmen: Sorry, I have to leave. Good luck [01:41] i am trying to view live cd of xubuntu and see black screen. any tips? [01:41] (cd cd has no defects) [01:41] what command line command can I use to extract files from a tar to a specific location? I can't do it graphically because I need to sudo it. [01:41] Jordan_U: =/ well thanks for at least trying... [01:41] Mandi: Ubuntu has an ok selection of default apps, then other apps can easilly be installed [01:41] Mandi: as well [01:41] sebsebseb: it's good when you know what you're doing - LOL - a little overwhelming when you're first learning [01:41] Can anyone point me to help for video problem? Brand new 9.1 ubuntu won't boot, monitor tries mode switching -- seems stuck in loop -- video card is nvidia 6150se nforce 430 monitor is dell 1702fp [01:41] paragonc: Did you stop the gdm first and then you have to restart it after, [01:42] Billiard, what do i after saving it? [01:42] no [01:42] karmic sound help needed! [01:42] lotec: it's using UNR 8.04, however with latest there are some problems with audio and keyboard. What operating system is running now? [01:42] xp [01:43] Mandi: it's quicker to get apps using the commands, but 9.10 has the Software Centre which is a nice graphical program, that has replaced the former add/remove, in 10.04 released at the end of April it will also replace the more advanced graphical way of getting software, the Synaptic Package Manager [01:43] DisguisedAngel: you can use gksudo file-roller for a GUI with super user. [01:43] do i need to download the kernel source? [01:43] mikeg3, ubuntu forums are great. SHould have lots of video help. You will likely need to change your xorg file to use a vesa video driver (I think that's the one) until you can download and install the correct nvidia drivers. [01:43] epinky: xp [01:43] lotec: my advice is that "if it works then don't touch it" :) [01:43] linuxguy2009, Thanks! [01:43] LOPA: restart x, logout, then does ctrl+alt+backspace work in .04, if not ctrl+alt+f1 sudo service gdm restart should do it [01:43] DisguisedAngel: welcome [01:44] guys, is there anyway i can give auto authentication when mounting an alien partition? Such as my hard disk partition that use ntfs format. [01:44] NVIDIA 190 is throwing the same errors [01:44] i had this working for like 6 months now :( [01:44] DisguisedAngel: gksudo is just like sudo but for graphical apps. [01:44] sebsebseb: aside from the official documentation on the website, what are some other REALLY good resources for learning the whole linux thing - i'm a reader/doer, so i work best by reading books and trying things out, but i'm not good at just diving in - any suggestions? [01:44] ah, awesome. Thanks for the tip! === Guest34688 is now known as meff [01:44] how do I get to xorg file? clueless about linux command line here! === meff is now known as Guest45002 [01:45] DisguisedAngel: welcome [01:45] mikeg3: its located in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:45] paragonc, download the driver from the nvidia site [01:45] BluesKaj: i did [01:45] Billiard, thanks... I was gonna have to look that one up rofl... Don't have it all memorized yet [01:45] epinky: maybe ill just install to a 4gb sd card and boot ubuntu that way [01:46] paragonc, did you have some other nvidia drivers installed before? [01:46] Mandi: 9.10 is an ok release, but I am not that happy with it for various reasons, and I have been using Ubuntu since the second release in 2005, with another distro before it for a bit. Plus done a lot of distro trying in the past with Live CD's to begin with, and then virtual machines. Also 9.10 is a standard release with only 18 months of support on the desktop and three years for the server version. Where as Long Term Support [01:46] releaess such as 8.04 or the not yet released 10.04 get three years of support on the destkop and five years for the server version. support being security updates [01:46] it says "Unable to find kernel source tree " [01:46] !10.04 | Mandi [01:46] Mandi: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l02bhwofEqw for announcement video. [01:46] paragonc, then find the driver, wgere sid it dl to [01:46] lotec: good idea!, it's better to try before installing :) [01:46] sebsebseb: And professional support. [01:46] DisguiseAngel: I had 180 running fine until i install xen-server [01:46] jpds: From Canonical you mean? [01:47] thank you all for your help--hopefully I will get it to boot [01:47] sebsebseb: Yes. [01:47] paragonc, where did it DL tp [01:47] BluesKaj: Dl tp? [01:47] any suggestions for linux related reading material (besides the ubuntu site)? [01:47] jpds: They don't do paid support for 9.04? [01:48] mikeg3, you can use "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" to edit that file. You will need to find the video driver section and change it to vesa [01:48] download to, paragonc [01:48] paragonc: My guess is that you have something missing from your system or something left behind that shouldnt be there. Download the newest nvidia driver and do a fresh install and start over. Itll work out of the box and its very easy to do. [01:48] Mandi: for doing what? [01:48] Mandi: Ubuntu Pocket Guide [01:48] how would i resize my linux partition while booting into it? [01:48] sebsebseb: We don't do support for EOL releases. [01:48] sharpen047: while booting into it? [01:48] linuxGuy2009 : i have the new 190 drivers too - they throw the same error [01:48] jpds: 9.04 is not EOL just yet, also you work for Canonical you put "we" [01:48] Mandi: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html [01:48] Billiard: just for understanding ubuntu/linux and learning "basic" commands [01:48] anyone have experience with Synergy between a mac and ubuntu? [01:48] sharpen047: Use your live CD and use Gparted so the filesystem wont be mounted. [01:49] perimetric, sebsebseb: thx - got it === Guest45002 is now known as meff [01:49] BluesKaj: it downloaded to my users home directory [01:49] linuxguy2009, ty [01:49] i have a question about running ubuntu on my already windows computer?!? [01:49] paragonc, /home? === meff is now known as Guest68739 [01:49] paragonc: 9.10 is old and might not be supported also Im not sure. Do a fresh install is my recomendation. Might be a good time for 9.10 maybe? [01:49] Mandi: If you want something that is more stable and you can rely on for say three years without doing an Ubuntu version upgrade, well yes LTS [01:49] 8.10 is old I meant [01:49] helpme, what kind of question? [01:50] linuxguy2009: I think 8.10 becomes EOL this April or around then [01:50] i dont have the resources to do that - [01:50] sebsebseb: right on [01:50] blueKaj: /home/paragonc/ [01:50] linuxguy2009: what ashame since overall that has been my favourite release since 8.04, it's just since I wanted Ext4 etc, yeah I am not running that [01:50] sebsebseb: i'm not sure if stability is really an issue, i don't mind doing upgrades === eights is now known as baytes-vm [01:51] is Ext4 included now, with 9.10? [01:51] bonez2046: yes [01:51] i want to know if when i install ubuntu on my windows computer, if it will delete/corrupt/change any files/programs that i have [01:51] bonez2046: Ext4 is the default for clean installs [01:51] bonez2046: of 9.10 [01:51] bonez2046: it has been included since 9.04 [01:51] bonez2046: Ext3 9.04 upgrades won't be turned into Ext4 on upgrade [01:51] sebsebseb: Ive heard that from a few people but I hated 8.10. Never worked right for my box for some reason. [01:51] After the Karmic upgrade I now get a "critical" bug as described in: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8323583#post8323583 [01:51] Any help? [01:51] helpme: only if you tell it to delete your windows parition [01:51] sebsebseb: so I just did the 'update-manager -d' routine.. still using ext3.. [01:52] <[zaf]-Coral> Anybody know of a nice database graphical designing tool, something to create the graphical layout for a database representation :? I do NOT want something that actually implements the database [01:52] paragonc, in the terminal sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-xxxxx.run xxx meaning the driver number for your card [01:52] how would I upgrade.. convert over to Ext4? is it compelling enough to convert? [01:52] BluesKaj : the installer runs - it just fails [01:52] linuxguy2009: great release still my favourite overall even though what I just mentioned, plus how the ethernet woudn't work on the other computer, but by the time I got round to finally upgrading from 8.04 on there, 9.04 was out anyway so :) so put on with Ext4 and nice fast boot up shut down and disk checking :) [01:52] [zaf]-Coral: phpmyadmin [01:52] bonez2046, You cannot convert, it has to be a fresh install. [01:52] but i just want to try it out, what happens if i prefer windows over ubuntu? will i be able to completely restore my settings that i have right now? [01:52] thank you all, i think that's all the q's i have today - bye [01:52] phenom: My Uncle recently did an upgrade from 9.04 and was missing all kinds of stuff on his box. Doesnt suprise me. I always do a clean install after backing up my home. [01:52] [zaf]-Coral: UML things will, Umbrello is one (QT), or you can just use something like Dia [01:53] Mandi: see above what I just put to linuxguy2009 sometimes upgrades or newever versions can mess something up [01:53] helpme, it will not mess with your windows files and such. If you have enough room on your hard drive then during the install, when you get to the partition part, make sure you let it do the configuration, using the rest of the drive to install ubuntu on. DO NOT do it manually unless you know what you are doing and DO NOT select "use entire disk" [01:53] lotec: are you there? [01:53] courpse: so, back all up to other media, do fresh install, then reload /home and applications? [01:53] <[zaf]-Coral> Billiard, not implementing a database :/ [01:53] paragonc, you were using bash , don't put that in the command [01:53] <[zaf]-Coral> Flannel, thanks will check it out [01:53] <_ged> hi, in windows, there's a SERVICES right? on the "services.msc", then you can start or stop the services in there, in ubuntu, how can i start or stop a service?? [01:53] bonez2046, Sure. [01:53] helpme, if you just want to try it out, try the live version, just slip the install CD in and run it [01:53] linuxguy2009, Yea, it's very frustrating. Every ubuntu upgrade breaks something, [01:53] helpme, the performance will be a bit less since it is runnign off of CD but you will get the idea. [01:54] BluesKaj: sudo: /home/jackmurphy/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.29-pkg1.run: command not found [01:54] _ged: they are called daemons most of them you can control with sudo service stop|start|restart [01:54] phenom: Right thats why I avoid it at all costs. hehe === Guest68739 is now known as meff [01:54] yea... about "slipping a CD in" i have a mini 10v and i have no CD drive, i want ot try the downloadable netbook remix [01:54] <_ged> Billiard: how can i view the running services?

[01:55] phenom: Best advice I can give is to download the ISO and backup your home folder. Fresh install. === meff is now known as Guest68901 [01:55] linuxguy2009: well GDM 2 also lacks features such as themeing like the old one, but this apparnatly will get fixed in a later version [01:55] but then it wont load the kernel sourcew [01:55] helpme, then you can use a USB stick, let me find you the program I use to put it on the USB stick, brb. [01:55] _ged: sudo service --status-all [01:55] ok [01:55] epinky, Is what a joke?

[01:57] helpme, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ download the windows version of this program, then download the Ubuntu from their website and then run the unetbootin program and it will ask you for your image, that's the ISO you will be downloading. After that, boot your computer into bios to ensure it is set to boot from USB before hard drive. [01:57] sebsebseb: Hmm i didnt know that. Im thinking when 10.04 LTS comes out I may stick with it until the next LTS not decided yet. Just for stability and reliability. Plus it helps when buying commercial apps for it like Nero Linxu 4 that i just bought will stay compatible with my ubuntu version. [01:57] BluesKaj: does it matter how i launch that file?

The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [02:04] sebsebseb: it happened twice consecutively; i'd have the check the RAM, and i don't know how to do that with the live session going, i'd have to reboot windows and that will take about 30 minutes [02:04] thx [02:04] Long Term Support === meff is now known as Guest65618 [02:05] !Lucid [02:05] Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l02bhwofEqw for announcement video. [02:05] sebsebseb: windows XP professional, and I also have XP home installed on there [02:05] Mandi: 30 minutes to boot Windows? [02:05] johnny05: Did the device work out of the box? Also did you install other drivers? [02:05] paragonc, did you try to find what nvidia card you have so we can match up the driver , in the terminal , lspci | grep BGA [02:05] Mandi: ok how old is the computer? [02:05] johnny05: Your trying to see which on actually worked? [02:05] GeForce 8400 GS [02:05] a simple main drive or /boot partition can help me here guys please... [02:05] i have a question about which dropdown files i should download on the UNetbootin download for netbook ubuntu [02:05] paragonc, did you try to find what nvidia card you have so we can match up the driver , in the terminal , lspci | grep VGA [02:05] when i install Ubuntu onto a external USB 1TB hard drive, i made a 10gig/boot and a 100gig / mount point and a 4gig swaparea..... Do i install the bootloader into /boot partition? or to the drive itself sdd ? or /boot -> sdd2? [02:05] sebsebseb: maybe i'm exaggerating a little, but it's at least 15 - i have enough time to start it, then start laundry, go upstairs and get coffee, then come back & it's still loading [02:05] <[zaf]-Coral> Flannel, Thanks Umbrello is working fine :) [02:05] BluesKaj: GeForce 8400 GS [02:05] sebsebseb: the CPU is about 6 yrs old [02:06] Mandi: ok 15 minutes to boot Windows that's not right [02:06] it really isn't [02:06] linuxguy2009: the adapter works when running a desktop install of ubuntu. right now i'm trying a minimal install. compiled the madwifi driver, but not sure if i installed it correctly. [02:06] helpme: Just go manually download the ISO and then pount unetbootin to the ISO and drive to write to. [02:06] Mandi: I remember this old lap top from about uhmm 2000 I guess, with 6GB hard disk and XP Pro, and that loads up in a few minutes or so [02:06] what is the keyboard short cut to close out of x and everything and go to command line? [02:06] when i install Ubuntu onto a external USB 1TB hard drive, i made a 10gig/boot and a 100gig / mount point and a 4gig swaparea..... Do i install the bootloader into /boot partition? or to the drive itself sdd ? or /boot -> sdd2? [02:07] sebsebseb: i know - my dad is an IT guy and i keep trying to get him to help me out, but he's always too busy to give me any pointers other than defrag, disk cleanup, & ccleaner [02:07] Mandi: DId you disk defrag Windows? what kind of stuff is installed on it? [02:07] johnny05: Well if the device wasnt detected before and now it is detected after a driver install I would have to say yeah. I miss something? [02:07] helpme, when you message someone, put their name in front, so it highlights for them to see, so they don't miss it. You need the 32 bit 9.10 release. [02:07] linuxguy2009: so is there any way to check if a particular driver has been loaded [02:07] Mandi: Well there are ways to make WIndows run better, but you want to go Ubuntu anyway, and that's a good way to go [02:08] sebsebseb: i defrag all the time, and it defrags weekly on a schedule [02:08] johnny05: No idea. [02:08] DisguisedAngel i dont kno where to go from the first little download page [02:08] helpme, hold on a sec let me look [02:09] well, whatever. it's detected. i guess i just need to configure it now? wpa? [02:09] ! [02:09] sebsebseb: i think i uninstalled MS office, and some other stuff - last time i checked i had over 50% of the hard drive available; anyway - the speed of that pc is one of the reasons i want to switch to ubuntu, besides the free factor === Guest65618 is now known as meff [02:09] Mandi: Do you stil have the ISO for Ubuntu? [02:09] johnny05: Was there a driver to begin with? And you wanted to replace it? [02:09] helpme, did you download unetbootin? I assume you have it pulled up right now, is that correct? === meff is now known as Guest88173 [02:09] sebsebseb: yes [02:09] is it possible to add customed sound for incoming mail in evolution? [02:09] is it possible to add customed sound for incoming mail in evolution? [02:09] johnny05: Your not telling me something here. [02:10] is it possible to add customed sound for incoming mail in evolution? [02:10] Billiard, no go X crashes [02:10] !repeat > mehedi [02:10] Mandi: ok it's probably fine, but it's a good idea to do a quick md5sum check to make sure it's a good one. a lot easier to do it in Ubuntu as well, yes you can on the Live CD [02:10] is it possible to add customed sound for incoming mail in evolution? [02:10] mehedi, please see my private message [02:10] DisguisedAngel, yes i have the initial download window up, and i do not kno where to go from there [02:10] sebsebseb: how do i do that? [02:10] LOPA: sorry, idk [02:10] does anyone have a Vaio laptop? [02:11] Billiard, thanks for trying [02:11] Any experience with OCROPUS? [02:11] LOPA: what was wrong on karmic same thing? [02:11] hello ,boys and girls! [02:11] linuxguy2009: if a minimal ubuntu install of 9.04 has a wireless driver, than it did. i tried installing madwifi. i would like to know if i did it successfully? [02:11] Billiard, karmic? [02:11] Mandi: also before the psyical CD boots up, there's an option on the CD that checks if the psyical CD is ok or not [02:11] hades__: Whats your real question? [02:11] helpme, for distribution select "Ubuntu" for the next dropdown select "9.10_Live" [02:11] hey. will it mess anything up if i remove gnome-screensaver? i heard if i remove parts of ubuntu it will crash my system when it does updates [02:11] Mandi: uh I meant before the live sesson on it boots up or the install option [02:11] LOPA: 9.10 [02:12] same resolution prob [02:12] DisguisedAngel, haha sorry i didnt see the scroll bar [02:12] Billiard, they got rid of 915resolution tool [02:12] sebsebseb: sorry - i got it, no the integrity of the CD is fine - i used it on two of the 3 laptops here with no probs; the desktop is the only one with the error message [02:12] helpme, then if you have your USB inserted and it is selected on the bottom, just hit the Ok button [02:12] Billiard, that worked [02:12] johnny05: Not sure. I personally would have done a "sudo lshw -c lan" before and after the install and it would tell you right away. [02:12] linuxguy2009: i wanna be able to turn off the devices but as being a noob am stuck on the easiest way to do it [02:12] helpme, it's all good. We have all been there and learned the basics... you will get the hang of it really fast. [02:12] hades__: Turn off what devices? [02:13] Mandi: the ISO is probably fine yes, still easy to do the check, plus if you do this from the Live CD, your going to learn a little Desktop Linux already [02:13] WWAN, bluetooth, dvd, usb, eth0, [02:13] Mandi: before you even have a proper install on any computer? there is no psyical install yet right? [02:13] sebsebseb: ok, doing it - geez, twist my arm why don't ya... [02:13] hades__: I would say to check your BIOS for those features. [02:13] sebsebseb, yes - no physical install yet [02:13] DisgustedAngel, do you personally use ubuntu? and have you used windows? [02:14] Mandi: ok since Ubuntu 7.10 (October 2007) Ubuntu has been able to read and write to Windows NTFS partitions no problem, as long as Windows shut it down properly === Guest88173 is now known as meff [02:14] anyone else had the install issue where you are asked for the disk mid install? this has been a known issue at least with NEC optiarc drives since 8.x. I think i may have resorted to a debootstrap method but i'm wonder if there is any other work around [02:14] hello,everyone! [02:14] it can be done by typing sudo echo 1 > /location/wwanpower etc... [02:14] helpme, be sure not to judge Ubuntu's performance off of the live run. Menus, programs, everything will take a bit longer to load because it has to grab it from the USB. === meff is now known as Guest91895 [02:14] Mandi: It's in the WIndows partiton yes? [02:14] sebsebseb: are you saying that the physical install will overwrite windows? - if that's what you're saying, then good - that's what i want on the desktop computer [02:14] venger: Maybe use unetbootin as an alternative on that machine? [02:15] Mandi: no that's not what I am saying, but yes you can easilly do that [02:15] helpme, yes I personally use ubuntu on all my computers and yes I have used windows 3.1, 95, XP, Vista and 7 [02:15] sebsebseb: ok, then i have no idea what you are asking - what's in the windows partition? [02:15] hades__: So you found your answer then? [02:15] DisguisedAngel, it says its done with the instalation but the progress bar is at 0 [02:15] Mandi: Ok do you know what a partition is? [02:15] paragonc, try this driver, but you must remove any other installed nvidia drivers first . Then sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 [02:15] sebsebseb: in theory, but i've never worked with them [02:15] helpme, the unetbootin program says it is done? [02:16] BluesKaj: how do i remove other drivers? [02:16] sebsebseb: well not on purpose, anyway [02:16] Mandi: ok well when your installing Ubuntu from the Live CD, you will be doing that [02:16] well ye but typing it in for every device takes the piss, can you give me a pointer on how to script it? [02:16] yes, but i pulled up the files on my usb, and it's not there [02:16] helpme, then try this, just a sec. [02:16] linuxguy2009, i'll look at the frugal install option (short on spare usb sticks :) ) thanks for the suggest [02:17] I HAZ SSL [02:17] hades__: Yes if I remember correctly there is a file /etc/rc.local where you can script commands right there on bootup. Think thats the right file. [02:17] zhangxiong [02:17] ,where are you ? [02:17] E: Couldn't find package nvidia-glx-185 [02:17] zhangxiong,where are you ? [02:17] paragonc: Check your apt sources are enabled. [02:17] i wanna be able to control wen they are on and off ie. wen i'm on battery or plugged in [02:18] hades__: Good luck on that. [02:18] helpme, download Ubuntu 9.10 for 32bit directly from here. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [02:18] sudo apt-get remove name-of-otherdriver [02:18] linuxguy2009: which ones? i use apt-get [02:18] sebsebseb: well i understand that, but i'm not sure what you were asking when you said "it's in the windows partition yes?" [02:18] help, I got a sony f-v320 mic and i installed skype but it's not working, for some reason it's not receiving the sound, i checked the sound settings and they're all way up, what should i do? [02:18] paragonc: all of em personally. [02:18] Mandi: also if your going to check the ISO from the Live CD, first you need to open the Windows partition so it is mounted. then I think it will be mounted in /media or /mt and uh. then system > administration > terminal cd /media/disk1 for example. Can cheat also and make this much easier :) and I asked if the ISO is in the WIndows partition [02:18] !hi | cheri703 [02:18] cheri703: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [02:19] helpme, it will download as an ISO file. Once it is done, use the unetbootin program again, but don't use the distribution part, instead drop down to the part in the program that asks for the ISO, select that Ubuntu ISO you downloaded and load it up onto your USB with unetbootin. [02:19] sebsebseb: oh, the iso is on one of the laptops [02:19] ok, too many cooks ...bbl when the kitchen isn't so full [02:19] hi, thanks for the welcome bot :) === Guest91895 is now known as meff [02:19] DisguisedAngel, thats gonna take a while... 2hrs left in the download [02:19] helpme: USB drive needs to be fat32 BTW. [02:19] how do i do that? i ran sudo apt-get update === banisterfiend is now known as banister`garden === meff is now known as Guest28763 [02:19] disguisedangel, ok ill write that down [02:20] Mandi: really Canonical should be making it more clear to people to md5sum an ISO for Ubuntu, yours is probably fine, but it's good practice to check it anyway. Ok don't worry about that for now, it can be checked later with Ubuntu or Windows. and it probably doesn't need to be. [02:20] helpme, it would take just as long to do it directly through unetbootin too if it was working. Do you have Skype? [02:20] Mandi: well your here again, so let's help you get set up with a good Ubuntu set up I guess [02:20] I can't seem to connect to my desktop in my lan with vinagre.. I've port scanned and 5900 is open.. I've removed the password requirement. It tries then immediately disconnects.. any ideas? [02:20] paragonc: Do what? [02:20] DisgustedAngel, nope [02:20] k ubuntu [02:20] make sure my sources are updated [02:20] fix your website [02:20] helpme, Gtalk? [02:20] don't say stuff thats not included in the repository's [02:20] Hi everyone. Can someone help me with my video card driver? [02:21] stop crapping up :( [02:21] sebsebseb: unfortunately, i'll have to come back for that b/c i haven't removed the data from the desktop computer yet and i need to do that before i install the os; i was just testing today [02:21] it isn [02:21] I have an ATI Rage Mobility M3. [02:21] !md5sum > Mandi [02:21] Mandi, please see my private message [02:21] Mandi: Got an external hard disk or something to put it on to? [02:21] DisguisedAngel, wait, i just remembered, i have a downloaded version of the netbook remix already downloaded from earlier [02:21] Mandi: the data? [02:21] soul----: what stuff? === baytes-vm is now known as baytes-vm|sleep === Dr_Eagert is now known as Haydis [02:22] sebsebseb: i was going to move the files through my wireless network to one of the laptops [02:22] helpme, ah sounds good. Then use that one. The Netbook remix is nice, that's what I use on my Asus 900a [02:22] links for software [02:22] Mandi: that would be slow [02:22] Mandi: you could use samba instead [02:22] sebsebseb: well, that's all i've got - or i wait for payday so i can buy more cds [02:22] sebsebseb: what's samba? [02:22] Mandi: and do it over the LAN (Local Area Network) and using the Ubuntu Live CD [02:22] soul----: such as? can't help if your not more specific [02:23] DisguisedAngel, so i have it pulled up, what do i do next. (sorry for backtracking) [02:23] a vnc viewer [02:23] * paragonc starts downloading 9.10 [02:23] hi all [02:23] !samba | Mandi [02:23] Mandi: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [02:23] SAMBA is a way to share files and folders to windows, linux, and mac machines. [02:23] edidie, you could try installing "Envy" from the repositories and using that to install the graphics driver for your card... Envy is really easy to use. [02:23] !vnc [02:23] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [02:23] hey, what do you guys think of ubuntu 9.10? [02:23] dvokurka: ok, but not that good compared to previous versions [02:23] helpme, you have unetbootin pulled up right? [02:23] yeah me too [02:24] Mandi: Samba is good [02:24] i've created a swap file /swap, i have activated with swapon, but i would like to know if there's another idea better than adding the command swapon into /etc/rc.local in order that the swap activates after each boot ! [02:24] thanks in advance [02:24] Mandi: it lets you move files to Windows === Guest28763 is now known as meff [02:24] Mandi: or files from Windows to your Linux distro [02:24] DisgustedAngel, yes its "wubi" correct? [02:24] paissad-hp: you should be able to add it to your fstab === meff is now known as Guest22204 [02:24] any advice on how to get dual monitors to work properly? [02:25] Mandi: and it can even do Linux to Linux. move/copy/paste files that's what Samaba will do [02:25] ChogyDan, ok thanks [02:25] sebsebseb: i don't have a LAN setup - just the one wired desktop, and 3 wireless laptops [02:25] dvokurka: do you have nvidia card? [02:25] DisguisedAngel or is it the "usb-creator"? [02:25] Mandi: sure, but you got a router right? [02:25] !fstab > paissad-hp [02:25] paissad-hp, please see my private message [02:25] yes [02:25] Mandi: connecting them all together or at least some how [02:25] gksudo nvidia-settings [02:26] sebsebseb: yes, that's how i was planning to move the files, but you said it would be too slow - i'm lost somehow... [02:26] Mandi: oh right ok uhmm [02:26] helpme, I don't know what you mean by wubi... in the program unetbootin select Diskimage, then press the button to the far right of that, it has this, "..." Find and select your netbook remix, then click OK [02:26] Mandi: you meant some Windows way I assume, what I am saying is you can do it using the Ubuntu Live CD that your on now and Samaba [02:26] !info smb-client [02:26] Package smb-client does not exist in karmic [02:26] helpme, you could try the usb-creator that comes with netbook remix, but my dumb ass never could get it to work. [02:26] sebsebseb: oh! ok [02:27] sebsebseb: i'm listening [02:27] DigitalKiwi: I tried but i'm finding problems with the visual effects...they freeze up on both desktops [02:27] Mandi: ok I have only used it occasionaly so just hold on a sec so I can tell you what to install [02:27] nm [02:27] *both monitors [02:27] a sec a min whatever [02:27] running from sd is crap anyhow [02:28] Mandi: Can you access the router configuration page? Or do you know the internal ip address of the lap top you want to move the data to? [02:28] sebsebseb: i'm confused - you want me to use samba on the desktop computer to move the files from the desktop computer to where? don't i have to have the files off the hard drive to preserve them before the install? [02:29] hello, could anyone point me to a tutorial on how to use CSV (I understand what it is*, so wikipedia and the like are getting nauseating), maybe a tutorial? maybe the man pages are good enough? (they don't cover anything about csv or control systems in my school) [02:29] jzacsh: csv isnt a control system [02:29] sebsebseb: yes, i can get that info - i think... it'll take a minute while i remember === Guest22204 is now known as meff [02:29] Mandi: You can install Samba to the LIve CD, and then do the shared folder in WIndows, and access it using samba with the internal ip address of that computer [02:29] DisguisedAngel, its on my Usb, but it's only 147 kb, isnt that sorta small for an operating system? [02:29] oh haha, not comma separated values, i meant control version system [02:29] jzacsh: f you mean CVS, you might find SubVersion (SVN) easier to get into [02:29] Mandi: then you just move/copy the files to the shared folder on Windows === meff is now known as Guest98379 [02:30] helpme, lol ya, too small. Something went wrong. Did you use unetbootin program? [02:30] linxeh, I'm only looking to it because some projects i want code for use cvs (on sourceforge) - otherwise I'd use git, as it seems really easy to use [02:30] helpme, check the properties on the netbook remix file and tell me how big that ISO that you downloaded is. [02:31] jzacsh: sourceforge has a page for each project telling you how to check their code out of their repositories [02:31] hello. I have problem suspending 9.10, 9.04 [02:31] calvin_FreeNode: use hibernate instead [02:32] calvin_FreeNode: I find it works better for me [02:32] Does anyone know how to load a wifi profile into /etc/network/interfaces? [02:32] after I click suspend, the led light on my box is still on. but monitor turns off. I can hear the fan is still on. But I can not activated with keyboard or mouse [02:32] I have a wifi card, ubuntu sees it using lspci. I can connect to wifi using iwconfig - but I want to set it up so it automatically loads everytime I turn on the PC. [02:33] I am feeling good how is everybody doing? [02:33] DisguisedAngel i found the Zipped file in another location it's 700,000 kbs (not sure what that is in gigs or Mb's) but thats a lot bigger [02:33] calvin_FreeNode: Calvin thats normal. On suspend the power stays on. [02:33] has there any offline english dictionary for ubuntu? [02:33] linxeh thanks [02:33] so is there a sleep mode like windows does? [02:33] chad: you just need the format of the interfaces file. Im sure you can find it online [02:33] has there any offline english dictionary for ubuntu? [02:33] calvin_FreeNode: To wake try the power button as well? [02:33] has there any offline english dictionary for ubuntu? [02:33] helpme, ya that sounds about right. Make sure this is the ISO you are selecting in Unetbootin [02:33] I have. didn't work [02:34] When I get a new IM in Pidgin, it doesn't show the new notification popup. Instead it just blinks like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/285483/tmp/screenshot93.png [02:34] calvin_FreeNode: hibernate saves u battery power too [02:34] has there any offline english dictionary for ubuntu? === Guest98379 is now known as meff [02:34] calvin_FreeNode: Windows and Ubuntu both have suspend, hybernate features yes. [02:34] I'm having trouble making a usb version of the unr boot iso [02:34] any idea how I can make Pidgin report new messages with the new notification popups? [02:34] status [02:34] calvin_FreeNode: Hibernate saves all RAM to swapspace and loads it back up on reboot. [02:34] sanjid, are you using usb-creator? === meff is now known as Guest92859 [02:34] ChogyDan: been looking. Not sure if thats what I actually need? I want a setup where if I plug in an ethernet cable, it takes priority -- if ethernet gets unplugged it switches to WiFi and looks for available network. If I can't have it "look" for a network I would like to specify 2 networks. [02:34] xp calls it suspend. vista and windows 7 call it sleep [02:34] DisguisedAngel: I was using dd, but I then tried USB creator [02:35] has there any offline english dictionary for ubuntu? [02:35] sleep is much faster than hibernate [02:35] chad: what happens you set both of them up? [02:35] ChogyDan: Im doing it all from command line because its a minimal install and I am not a linux expert. [02:35] exit [02:35] DisguisedAngel, ok now it looks like its doing something [02:35] ChogyDan: not sure how to set it up. [02:35] sanjid, try unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [02:35] with usb creator, the "make startup disk" option is greyed out, even though everything looks normal [02:35] ChogyDan: I use iwconfig wlan0 essid mywifi [02:35] helpme, great! Sounds like the first time it may have had the wrong file lol. [02:36] sanjid: u might need to format ur usb [02:36] ChogyDan: Then I have to type "iwconfig wlan0 up" [02:36] chad: unfortunately, the best I could help you is find a web page with the syntax [02:36] haha... alright I will keep searching :( [02:36] DisguisedAngel, and my usb is filling up, it has one of those storage display things on i [02:36] is there a way to get trillian astra to work with ubuntu with wine? [02:36] helpme, lol nice. Haven't seen one of those before. Sounds nifty [02:37] DisguisedAngel, wait... is 700,000 kbs 7 gigs? [02:37] no 700Mb [02:37] helpme, as dvokurka said, 700mb [02:37] dvokurka: just formatted it, and it still won't work [02:37] dvokurka, ok, thanks [02:37] does anyone use twitter here? [02:38] is there a way to get trillian astra to work with ubuntu with wine? [02:38] DisguisedAngel i used to know those conversions... lol [02:38] linuxguy2009: do you know how to make ubuntu 'sleep'? [02:38] sanjid, try using unetbootin and selecting Diskimage and then giving it the unr iso. [02:38] sanjid: do u have a ubuntu iso on ur computer? [02:38] does anyone use twitter here? [02:38] dvokurka: yes [02:38] DisguisedAngel: sure, I'll try that [02:38] !ot | sumeetbali [02:38] sumeetbali: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[02:38] DisguisedAngel, ok now i need help with this whole "boot from usb thing" while its downloading [02:39] chad: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=12045 [02:39] suprisingly it has to do with ubuntu === Guest92859 is now known as meff [02:39] !bot | sumeetbali [02:39] sumeetbali: 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 [02:39] helpme, what's confusing is the actual way they classify it and crap, like 1,000Kb doesn't actually REALLY equal a Mb... it's somethign like 1024Kb to 1Mb...dvokurka might know the exact numbers. [02:39] good luck all [02:39] when i'm on live cd how do i bring up the grub console? it says command not found! [02:39] exit [02:39] how are yall doing? [02:39] linuxguy2009: sleep means power down cpu but keep powering ram. in acpi this is S3 state. [02:39] is there a way to get trillian astra to work with ubuntu with wine? === meff is now known as Guest1520 [02:39] help [02:39] helpme, well the boot from usb isn't really all that hard. You know how to get into your bios right? [02:40] wt [02:40] radams976: maybe/probably and #winehq is the place to ask [02:40] ok [02:40] thanxs [02:40] linuxguy2009: of course you could use S1 state which powers CPU as well [02:40] calvin_FreeNode: Yes that is called suspend in Windows and Ubuntu. [02:40] radams976: np good luck [02:40] DisguisedAngel, ... Bios...? haha i thought i knew alot about computers, aparently not lol [02:40] thxns [02:40] when i'm on live cd how do i bring up the grub console? it says command not found! [02:40] linuxguy2009: anyway, doesn't work for me [02:40] How do I get the new Ubuntu notifications in Pidgin (http://ubuntumanual.org/files/u1/ubuntu_notification.png). I have lib-notify plugin enabled for new messages, however, it only blinks when I get a new message: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/285483/tmp/screenshot93.png [02:41] radams976: pidgin might also be of interest to you [02:41] radams976: or Empathy [02:41] calvin_FreeNode: Why do you say it doesnt work? It wont wake up? [02:42] helpme, lol. Well if you don't know stuff like bios, your computer experience may put a little bit of a learning curve on Linux, but don't worry... Linux has gotten a lot more user friendly than it used to be. You will do just fine. Now let me get to the bios information. [02:42] sebsebseb: i finally got the ip address - sorry it took so long, just to make sure i understand what you're saying, i install the samba with the live CD running on the computer i'm moving the files from, right? [02:42] WHY is the ubuntu 9.10 install disk BROKEN, the grub loader doesnt work.... doesnt someone test this before releasing ? [02:42] Mandi: my install of 9.10 is nearly clean, it seems I already got Samba stuff installed, so maybe you do as well on the Live CD [02:42] Mandi: well that's easy enough to find out if you do or don't, and easy to install if you don't [02:43] hyperstream: it worked fine for me, maybe its just you [02:43] helpme, during the VERY beginning of the of booting up your computer, when it probably gives you some simple colored DELL logo or something, down towards the bottom should be some instructions on how to get into your bios, like press Esc, delete, F1, F2 or something like that. Bios' are usually blue and white pages that allow you to change some things about your computer. [02:43] WHY is the ubuntu 9.10 install disk BROKEN, the grub loader doesnt work.... doesnt someone test this before releasing ? I get grub boot error, no such file ......... ive installed it to the /boot parition /dev/sdd2 and the actual drive in over a number of formats --> /dev/sdd doesnt work either [02:43] Mandi: system > administration > synaptic package manager search for samba and is any of that stuff green? or you could just run an install command for one of the programs and it will say if it's installed or not sudo apt-get install samba-common [02:43] osubuck its wierd [02:43] Mandi: applications > assesssories > terminal for commands [02:44] DisguisedAngel oooh those things [02:44] hyperstream: what is your drive setup? === Guest1520 is now known as meff [02:44] sebsebseb: checking - i'm on one of the laptops, and the desktop is next to me [02:44] DisguisedAngel: unetbootin seems to be working. I had it "burned" with dd before, but my netbook refused to boot from it [02:44] sebsebseb: and very slow CD drive [02:44] DisguisedAngel so i should find some sort of "boot from usb drive" there? === meff is now known as Guest34258 [02:44] helpme, Don't mess with any of it but the part you need to. You need to find the "Boot Order" section, or one that you think might be hinting towards a boot order or boot priority or something. Then you need to make sure that the one that says something about USB, like USB storage or drive or something, is higher in the list of things you can boot from than your Hard Drive. === McMont is now known as FelipeMcMont [02:45] Mandi: on the lap top in Windows you need to make a shared folder, where your going to move/copy in the data [02:45] i want my cron to output [02:45] whoops, ignore that ^ [02:45] Hello [02:45] I come from an other planet...

When connected to a AP and pinging it every second; I noticed that *every* 120, the ping time jumps to ~8 sec and takes around 5 seconds to recover. Is this a known issue? === Akuma0n3 is now known as Akuma [02:50] yes i tell me bios to boot my 1TB drive [02:50] sanjid, ah... my external died... hate it when HDD's die. [02:50] and i get that error, grub erro boot somethign.. unable to find file ... [02:50] yeah, I had three hdd's die in the last three days [02:51] so something is up [02:51] ChogyDan then just sits at grub rescue> [02:51] hyperstream: hmm, so you install grub on the external drive? and then have the /boot partition on another drive? [02:51] no the /boot partition in on the External Drive as well [02:52] sanjid... well in all honesty, it didn't die on me. It got killed by my wife, the master of "Trip over the cord and kill your HDD" [02:52] i have like this: 10gig /boot (ext4) | 100gig / (ext4) | 4gig swaparea [02:52] Mandi: Ok what you doing now?

I had a WD crap out on me and I only use what I beleive to be the best now. [02:52] Mandi: oh [02:53] ChogyDan, i have tried installing to 10gig /boot and with out even having a /boot (just 100gig /root) and install to / partition. [02:53] Mandi: well in that case [02:53] I think that there's some electromagnetic disturbance near my house, why else would there be three unrelated hdd's, both internal and external, across different systems and different roms, fail within a couple days of each other [02:53] ChogyDan, also it is the first partition(s) on the drive. [02:53] Mandi: feel free to do it the way you were going to before [02:53] hyperstream: and you get the same error? [02:53] sanjid, I don't know, that is weird.

I am thinking Windows Ctrl Alt Delete [02:55] sebsebseb: thank you for trying to hold my hand - i really appreciate it, i'll be back if i have anymore questions, right now it's a matter of hardware issues [02:55] DisguisedAngel: also well this [02:55] ChogyDan, ive even booted into live cd, and had a look at the 10gig boot partition, it has a grub directory, but no menu.lst or anything like that [02:55] alt-F2 'gksu reboot' [02:55] i just installed 9.10 netbook remix on my Aspire One D150 and the wireless doesnt work.

[03:00] seriously, it goes from 100% 56% lol i can't be the only person with this prblem [03:00] fcuk112, it is a samba share on the server. //media/movies1/Torrents [03:00] Mandi: how's it going? [03:01] Nautilus: I thought you could do that by configuring apache to use different folders, and the websites to use different tables [03:01] fcuk112, I was wondering if it was a write problem [03:01] snuffy47: you done Samba in 9.10? [03:01] dont want different tables [03:01] sebsebseb: i just got a message that the software manager thingy stopped working and closed unexpectedly - i'm going to do the whole mess in windows [03:01] fcuk112, I was wondering if it was a write problem [03:01] Nautilus: why not? [03:01] why? [03:01] snuffy47: yea, maybe try to write to a local folder first. [03:01] ;) [03:01] sebsebseb, no it is on jaunty [03:01] what is the command to open file roller from terminal? I forgot what someone told me. [03:01] snuffy47: nevermind I guess, I was trying to help Mandi get set up with Samba, but she/he was getting issues with Live CD [03:01] Hi all [03:01] fcuk112, It is a local folder on server where deluge is [03:01] ChogyDan: mostly because when the sites are uploaded thay each get their own DB [03:01] DisguisedAngel: file-roller [03:01] linuxguy2009 thanks [03:02] welcome [03:02] Mandi: it might already be installed [03:02] snuffy47: try a folder under your home/username/ folder [03:02] Nautilus: same tables == same data == same website. If you are using different websites, then will use different tables anyway probably [03:02] okay [03:02] Mandi: I just wanted to test that [03:02] ChogyDan: the tables are the same for each [03:02] SingAlong_: You got some output for me? [03:02] sebsebseb, what is the problem I am a noob but will help if can [03:02] I have an HP pavilion zx5180us and have spent the lat 2 days trying to get the wireless to work again [03:02] Mandi: since I seem to have Samaba installed and this is nearly a clean installl of 9.10 [03:03] Can anyone helpme?

[03:06] Mandi: ok that's what I thought for quite a while now or from the begining, a woman, but sometimes guys use female names in here or so it seems. Live CD's yeah can be slow it has to put everything into RAM, and also if the CD drive is slow hmm. [03:06] look, i installed ubuntu on my dad's laptop, and now his win xp intallaton won't start [03:06] SingAlong_: My guess is that you need to do a ALT+F2 and run "gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" and add it in there. [03:06] Does anyone know why in the new GDM (Karmic) some of my users are displayed with their username in parenthesis after their "Real Name"?

[03:07] sebsebseb: i'm going to shut down the live CD and copy the data through windows - i'll be back when it's done [03:07] uccadmin: not sure, but that GDM sucks, it can't even be themed like the old one, since they didn't code that in to the re write of GDM [03:07] cdw32, what's the name of the debian package you downloaded? [03:07] Mandi: I might not be here [03:08] Mandi: it's a bit late here really [03:08] jzacsh: intsall_flash_player_10_linus.deb [03:08] sebsebseb: I'm okay with it so far, although it is limited. It just baffles me that there are a few users displayed as "This is my real name (username)" while others are "This is my real name" [03:08] sebsebseb: that's fine - you started the ball rolling - i think i've got it from here; will there be someone else on if i run into trouble? [03:08] is anybody here? [03:08] anyone else having wireless probs since upgrading Ubuntu 9.1? [03:08] Mandi: when you partition later if you do manual install... [03:08] uccadmin: What are the user names and what do they look like exactly? [03:08] cdw32, currently this is the location of the debian installer http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/thankyou/?installer=Flash_Player_10_for_Linux_(.deb) [03:08] ow! ) [03:08] cdw32, download that ^ and let me know if its the same name [03:08] what's a good size for a swap size partition?

I'd like to set up the folders in my home folder (Documents, Pictures, etc...) to point to folders inside of my Ubuntu One folder. Can this be achieved? Would symlinking work?

[03:11] derp: #ubuntuone is a channel [03:11] Mandi: when you install [03:11] sebsebseb: thanks, iĺl look at that [03:11] ve0, I don't understand. you're having trouble with an iptable? what exactly are you trying to do? [03:11] linuxguy2009: I saw that but it [03:11] Mandi: there's an option that will put it on the whole of your hard disk and that's a default set up [03:11] it´s not quite what i wanted [03:11] fcuk112, Well that seemed to fix it. Neeod to find and active private tracker now. Why is this s [03:11] it just shows ubuntu@ubuntu [03:11] jzacsh: it is giving me the same error message that the dependencies failed it install [03:11] I just installed Ubuntu (Karmic) on a desktop that's been running a different distribution of linux for quite some time, and now it's booting, running through BIOS, printing GRUB, and hanging. Is this a known bug and/or is there a way I can just reinstall GRUB? [03:11] derp: but it what? [03:12] cdw32 you've opened with the "package installer"? and clicked "install package" button? (with a green checkmark) [03:12] Oh [03:12] Mandi: however it won't set up a seperate /home which in the long run could be rather useful, if you have a reason to re install Ubuntu, or you want to put some other distro on [03:12] derp: What didnt float your boat about that? [03:12] jzacsh: yes [03:12] so, just windows, /, and swap? [03:12] jzacsh I was instaled fail2ban... and fail2ban do not banned the brut to ssh, and paste error in log... [03:12] or are there more partitions that would be good ideals? [03:12] sebsebseb: k... how do i make it do that then [03:12] *ideas [03:12] cdw32, can you paste the error here (or in a pastebin if its big) [03:12] linuxguy2009: i was hoping to keep my directory structure as it is, except that when I drop something into, say, /home/user/Documents, it actually dropps it off in /home/user/ubuntuone/documents [03:12] if that makes sense [03:12] 2009-11-16 05:59:11,569 fail2ban.actions.action: ERROR iptables -N fail2ban-sasl [03:12] iptables -A fail2ban-sasl -j RETURN [03:13] iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -j fail2ban-sasl returned 400 [03:13] jzacsh: yes one moment [03:13] debio264 - I think you can do a grub update somehow [03:13] Mandi: they can be set up after woulds, but I have never done that, and it's probably much easier to set up on a clean install. plus you want some swap space double your RAM really. [03:13] jzacsh like thise [03:13] !home | Mandi [03:13] Mandi: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [03:13] !swap | Mandi [03:13] Mandi: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [03:13] in other words, i'd like the directory structure to remain intact. this is becasue I'm using UNR and the shortcuts point very specifically to the folders in /home/user [03:13] derp: In a nautilus window in the sidepane you can add ubuntu one folders I would imagine to simplify. [03:13] ve0, I honestly have no experience with what you're doing. maybe someone else could help you. I'd suggest googling that error. although, probably just reading more in the man page for that app will help you [03:14] Trying to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04. I dropped the cd in - select english - select install. It loads some info, and then drops me into a command line saying: ubuntu@ubuntu - what now? [03:14] in ubuntu, how can I adjust frostwire so it has a taskbar icon in the upper right by the clock./ [03:14] linuxguy2009: i'm not talking about the sidepane though. I mean the UNR shortcuts in their main menu GUI === Guest56131 is now known as meff [03:14] I get an "unable to open /dev/sdb" error when I run sudo mkfs.vfat -I /dev/sdb wtfsup? [03:14] Mandi: Home is also where hidden .folders go for programs with the program user data, for example .mozilla is the Firefox profile and it's settings bookmarks etc [03:14] jzacsh thx fo help) [03:14] linuxguy2009: those apparently can't be changed, so i'm wondering if symlinking would work [03:14] derp: No way of copying one file to 2 locations at once. === meff is now known as Guest39314 [03:15] sebsebseb: k, like the users directory in windows...? [03:15] Mandi: if you remove/move a dot folder for a program and then re open that program, it's like you have just installed it for the first time [03:15] linuxguy2009: well i'm not trying to copy to 2 locations at once. I'd like for one location to actually point to another. so if you drop something in folder A, it actually ends up in folder B... [03:15] cdw32, have you posted yet? [03:15] server irc.freenode.net [03:15] and i believe symlinking enables one to do that, but i'm not entirely sure [03:15] THE LIBERTY... YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IS IT ... OPEN SOURCE IS NOT REPRESENTED BY THE MANDRIVA COMMUNITY :( THIS IS VERY SAD [03:15] jzacsh: i am trying to get to the error message again [03:15] Mandi: home is like my documents in Windows, but also program user data [03:16] is the ubuntu community better ? [03:16] Toto23: HOW'S CRUISE CONTROL WORKING FOR YOU? [03:16] derp: Your looking at it backwards I think. Ubuntu One is meant to be saved to in order to share those files on multiple machines. [03:16] fcuk112, Do you know way the directory made the difference? [03:16] !troll | Toto23 [03:16] Toto23: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [03:16] The volume buttons won't work in Kubuntu karmic on my laptop [03:16] hi! can anybody help me? i'm trying to get my left super and alt keys to swap, and using the preference in the keyboard layout options isn't doing the expected behavior [03:16] derp, i lol'd [03:16] derp: No idea whats confusing you. [03:16] sebsebseb: right - in vista, that stuff is visible - a lot more so than in XP; i've seen it floating around; so do the install, then add the /home partition? [03:16] Can anyone help me remember what I used to install (L)AMP? It was a command something like: "pkg-list install lamp-server" [03:16] Mandi: ideally yes you want to set up a seperate /home on install [03:16] but i dont think it was pkg-list [03:17] linuxguy2009: i realize that. I'm trying to sync my netbook to my desktop. I'd like it to work in such a way that anything i drop into /home/user/documents ends up in /home/user/ubuntuone/documents so that it is automatically shared [03:17] Mandi: that should be most of your hard disk space [03:17] sebsebseb, k [03:17] can someone please help me with my volume problem [03:17] Nautilus: apt-get install possibly? [03:17] Mandi: you need a / as well that's a must have [03:17] Mandi: that's Ubuntu itself [03:17] jzacsh: the comp said that there was a broken package (adobe flash) that needed to be fixed before i could install again [03:17] linuxguy2009: no, i dont think so, it wass a pkg list thing [03:17] sebsebseb, right [03:17] parker-fcnyu: can you let me know how you got to that preference pane? [03:17] Mandi: or whatever distro your doing if it wasn't Ubuntu [03:17] Mandi: that should be about 10GB [03:17] ok - so all the guides i read say this is a GUI installer - why is it dropping me @ command line? [03:17] Nautilus, was it tasksel? [03:17] Good luck with that NightHawk877, no one seens to notice me [03:17] ohh maybe [03:17] linuxguy2009: the reason I can't just change the location of /home/user/documents is because that will break the shortcut on the UNR interface that cannot be modified (as far as I can tell) [03:18] derp: You dont need to save it to your PC documents folder at all. Just copy it to the cloud and it will sync to your machine. [03:18] Mandi: a bit of swap double the size of your RAM that should do it. and yep good set up [03:18] Reposting: Does anyone know why in the new GDM (Karmic) some of my users are displayed with their username in parenthesis after their "Real Name"? Was there a change made to the way that users are displayed? [03:18] anybody, who use fail2ban? [03:18] cdw32: you could try opening synatpic package manager. searching "adobe" and uninstalling the adobe flash packages you may have (be careful uninstalling things in this application) [03:18] Mandi: this is partitioning [03:18] hi :D [03:18] anyone know the easiest way to add the trash to the desktop [03:18] ve0, also you could try seeing if they have there own cannel [03:18] jzacsh, Preferences>Keyboard>Layouts>Layout Options>Alt/Win Key Behavior [03:19] jzacsh they havent( [03:19] derp: You might wanna go on youtube and look for a catagory5 eppisode on ubuntu one it explains a bit to help you understand the usage. [03:19] parker-fcnyu: that was it, tasksel ... what I need now is a site that helps me finish the config (primarily MySQL I think) [03:19] jzacsh: ok [03:19] linuxguy: I know that. again, the problem is that i want to use the shortcut on the UNR interface to access my documents... that shortcut points to /home/user/documents, but I want my documents to be automatically shared with ubuntuone, so they'd have to find their way into /home/user/ubuntuone/documents in order to do that === Guest39314 is now known as meff [03:19] sebsebseb, k - i get it now - i guess i just never realized that it was a manual thing; always used windows, so i always took the automatic part for granted [03:19] nighty night everyone. My expected signon time for tomorrow is 4:00PM Central time [amsg] [03:19] Mandi: you can set stuff up straight away in manual install on the installer. or make in gparted first a nice graphical partition editor, and then finnish off in manual install, where you tell it what to use a partition for. you need to tell it to use one as / and the other /home and choose a file system Ext4 is default for 9.10, but if you do manual install you have to select one yourself [03:19] Nautilus, good luck! i don't have any real tips for that [03:19] k, tx === meff is now known as Guest58506 [03:19] Mandi: you can do an automatic default install [03:19] sebsebseb, thx for all your help tonight - i was a little hesitant b/c it seems like such a big task, but i'm sure once i get through this first one, the others will be a breeze [03:20] anyone know of a #lamp IRC chan? === clay_ is now known as ClayG [03:20] right click on a panel, choose add to panel - choose go to trash [03:20] derp: Wont happen cause your trying to use ubuntu one in a backwards fashion. Its made to sync from the cloud to the machine and not the other way around. [03:20] Mandi: guided install that will go over your Windows install and use the whole hard disk if you tell it to use that [03:20] Mandi: ,but for the long run the manual install set up I was suggesting would be better [03:20] nautilus, i have to make you type over again, but could you sum up whats wrong (I might be able to help)? [03:20] jzacsh, When a select "Left Alt is swapped with Left Win" it seems like Alt_L corresponds to both Alt_L and Super_L [03:20] jzacsh i dont understand what the argument "returnet" and where it locate? fail2ban havent man... ((( [03:20] linuxguy2009: i'm not following you at all. If i put something in my ubuntuone folder, it will get uploaded to the cloud, correct? [03:20] sebsebseb: ok, i will read the documentation on that and do it that way [03:20] jzacsh: should i remove adobe reader also or just flash? [03:20] Mandi: ,but since your new and all that, you should probably really just go with guided install for your first install [03:20] hi [03:21] hi === dani is now known as Guest14292 === Ajraddatz_ is now known as Ajr|AFK [03:21] derp: Look at ubuntu one simply as a free 2GB hard drive. [03:21] Mandi: unless you want to experiment or read up a bit about it [03:21] cdw32 no, not reader (not for this purpose at least). [03:21] derp: simple as that [03:21] linuxguy2009: right. it's like dropbox [03:21] sebsebseb: i'll have to see where my week takes me LOL [03:21] Mandi: it's pretty straight forward really, and it's not like your going to mess something up if you try and do what I suggested [03:21] jzacsh: Just trying to setup a LAMP server, used "tasksel install lamp-server" iirc. Now I want to complete the config (like MySQL password, do I have to do anything to apache, get phpmyadmin setup, etc). [03:21] I can't use all video functions correctly on youtube anymore since i upgraded to 9.10. like i can't use the track position very good. how do i fix this issue?????? [03:21] linuxguy2009: so anything I put in my ubuntuone folder will end up on the ubuntuone sever [03:21] that jsut adds it to the panel [03:21] derp: So basically your asking me if I drop a file on drive A can i get it to magically go into drive B. No. [03:22] jzach: i found flash ten in the filter, and it is the version i just dl. should i still remove it [03:22] Mandi: since you will have the data on the other computer anyway before doing that, and Windows will be ready to get off there [03:22] haha, anyone know how to scroll up? i'm losing some of this stuff [03:22] !install | Mandi [03:22] Mandi: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[03:39] CaneToad: for harddrives yes, I filed a bug initially about that badness let me dig it up, basically some devices need to be blacklisted for a specific process so they work properly [03:40] SingAlong1: You have the exact same wifi card that I have in my Dell Mini 10v netbook. Works in 9.10 out of the box when I enabled teh drivers in hardware drivers window. I might have had to enable restricted and the other repo so all 4 main ones were enabled for it to show up in the drivers window.

However I just purchased the matching slot load DVDRW drive from Dell for my Mini 10v and it fixed the driver detection issue. i can tell you what files to install from the CD or repos if you want. [03:42] linuxguy2009: sure [03:42] cowbud, I find that sometimes, when plugging in a usb mouse, the system recognises it but X doesn't accept it, same with USB keyboards, and at times, plugging in a usb stick doesn't result in anything, also plugging in a usb audio device sometimes doesn't work....seems VERY BROKEN [03:42] jzacsh: and when i go to dl the plugin it fails === dexter_ is now known as Dexter [03:42] has anyone else been having issues with the screensaver not starting in karmic?

[03:49] cdw32 yeah, try a reboot like you said. then if it doesn't work I'd try removing everything adobe so you know you're startign from scratch === meff is now known as Guest60179 [03:49] zetheroo1: STA is the actual driver. ignore the other. [03:50] Billiard, Its permissions but hmmm [03:50] zetheroo1:Then your wifi will work like magic. [03:50] sorry [03:50] no takers? [03:50] linuxguy2009: huh? [03:50] snuffy47: thats what deluge says? no permission to write there? [03:50] jzacsh: ok brb [03:50] cairo dock question - the dock is like 3/4 of an inch above the bottom of my screen. how can I align that sucker so its against the bottom?

[03:51] Roasted: you could also try gnome-do (one of my favorite apps) - it has a dock-feature [03:51] should I just ask on ubuntu's forums? I mean, the option was there in Jaunty, wasn't it? [03:51] SingAlong: Any luck? [03:51] Billiard, It says status permission denied but that is on a download screen [03:52] linuxguy2009: i restarted networking after activating STA driver. but still wireless doesnt show up. [03:52] roasted, i don't remember, I haven't used it in a while. try right-clicking on a few parts of the dock and finding the "preference" window (something along those lines - i *do* remember adjusting that, though) [03:52] SingAlong: Is your raouter broadcasting the SSID? Or did you add it manually? [03:52] jzacsh - the problem with this program is it has too many damn options. Im so lost on where to go in the config menu [03:52] jzacsh - got it! [03:53] I am curious ... anyone here using Ubuntu in a developing nation? [03:53] Roasted: awesome. now try out gnome-do tomorow :) [03:53] linuxguy2009: its an open network. it should be detected automatically [03:53] jzacsh - already have gnome-do installed [03:53] jzacsh - you use docky with gnome do? [03:53] or .. has anyone here ever used Ubuntu (or another Linux distro) in a developing nation? [03:53] SingAlong: That depends on if the SSID is being broadcast or if it isnt it has tro be added manually. [03:53] linuxguy2009: should i try the b43 driver? [03:53] SingAlong: No that isnt a driver [03:54] linuxguy2009: oh. [03:54] SingAlong: try a reboot [03:54] linuxguy2009: in my previous 9.04, it used to detect automatically. same when i upgraded to 9.10 === Guest60179 is now known as meff [03:54] snuffy47: maybe there are permissions in the webui to limit download location, idk [03:54] linuxguy2009: k [03:54] I find it strange that even though Ubuntu and other Linux distro's have such an appeal to those in under-developed nations its almost useless for many because of a lack of broadband [03:54] roasted no, i got rid of docky (i didn't like it much). but gnome-do serves me will (and if you like the dock feature, then the dock-option in the theme-tab of the pref. window will satisfy you0 [03:54] Billiard, If the directory in question is adminstrator/sambahome and adminstrator is part of sambahome then I should be good to go. I wondering if I can make deluge part of sambahome group [03:54] jzacsh - that is docky... [03:54] zetheroo1: Where ? [03:54] I never realised how stifled life with Ubuntu can be without broadband until I went to Africa for 6 months and felt so lost - ha === meff is now known as Guest25376 [03:55] snuffy47: users belong to groups, not programs [03:55] Billiard, Not using webgui using the client program [03:55] EasyTUX: pretty much any developing nation really ... [03:55] Billiard, Man these permissions are killing me [03:55] EasyTUX: Its a bit ironic [03:55] jzacsh: im back [03:55] how can I get the PID's of a process name? [03:55] roasted: oh yeah, haha - I thought "docky" was another name of ciaro or something (its really been a while since i used it). your answer: yes I've *used* docky. but, i got sick of the dock all together. [03:56] Hello, somebody have install the driver for realtek in ubuntu 9.10, I have problems with it [03:56] EasyTUX: because those are the people who need it the most ... who cannot afford MS and Apple products ... [03:56] snuffy47: what is the exact error it gives you?, so i can google [03:56] jzacsh - did you have a preference in whcih dock you liked more despite not using any anymore? [03:56] jzacsh: it worked [03:56] roasted: i find the quicksilver-style features of gnome-do's themes much better [03:56] jzacsh: it installed [03:56] zetheroo1: "under-developed nations" are well knowned to use worst shit aka zindowz ? [03:56] roasted nope :(, sorry [03:56] my computer reboot after some minutes when I connect to the wifi network [03:56] cdw32, it works now? [03:56] im checking\ [03:57] Billiard, Thats the thing it is only permissions denied cannt find the damn log I will do some more digging I appreciated it B [03:57] Does grub install to sda if that is windows and sdb is an external with ubuntu on it? [03:57] EasyTUX: exactly my point .. they would use Linux if the additional software was more accessible .. this is what I have found while being there ... [03:57] linuxguy2009: no luck. [03:58] SingAlong: What is the netowork SSID? [03:58] linuxguy2009: but i have blacklisted acer_wmi in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf should i remove that? [03:58] jzacsh: i can watch vids, but the picture lags really bad [03:58] linuxguy2009: How do i find that? [03:58] SingAlong: Chances are the SSID isnt being broadcast. Otherwise you would know it. [03:58] EasyTUX: two days ago I offered Ubuntu to a group doing humanitarian work there ... and they loved it .. until I told them that the additional software would have to be downloaded [03:59] linuxguy2009: well the network is called "Akash" [03:59] SingAlong: Yeah thats the SSID. [03:59] linuxguy2009: oh sorry. the SSIS is UTStarcom === Guest25376 is now known as meff [03:59] Billiard, the Directory Media is owned by root that might be the proble,m [03:59] SingAlong: ok [03:59] SingAlong, is that the network name or the workgroup name? ;) [03:59] SingAlong, nevermind, you figured it out lol [03:59] cdw32: phew, thought it wasn't going to work. as far as the lagging: this is a draw back to flash as a linux user (and in my opinion, flash in general). I found when I upgraded from the last ubuntu 8 into 9 the lag went away. [03:59] need to make it 775 also [03:59] TheCheeze: SSIS [03:59] SingAlong: right click the network icon and edit connections [03:59] zetheroo1: You're from america neh, it's an under-developed country, check the clues... They are all here. [03:59] TheCheeze: SSID === meff is now known as Guest17743 [03:59] linuxguy2009: k [03:59] Does grub install to sda if that is windows and sdb is an external with ubuntu on it? [03:59] Hi I just installed ubuntu 9.10 64, I am running into a couple of problems. One, When I boot, I get" panel encountered a problem "FastUsersSwitchApplet", I could really use this applet, is there a known fix? [04:00] EasyTUX: huh ? I am not from America [04:00] there is no 'eject' in the context menu for my cd drives when there is a blank cd inserted and the eject button in nautilus does not work, any ideas? my drives' physical eject buttons seem to be disabled also, I have to resort to using the eject command [04:00] ;) [04:00] linuxguy2009: and? [04:00] snuffy47: as long as you have read and execute permissions it should be fine [04:00] SingAlong: under wireless , click add, enter the ssid or network name.Apply and close. [04:00] jzacsh: ok, but i cant upgrade until 10.4 i believe [04:00] EasyTUX: and America is not termed an "under-developed" nation at all [04:00] linuxguy2009: there's a wireless tab. and i clicked add there [04:00] bam_bam I believe grub can be installed wherever you tell it to install (you should read up on how to install grub) [04:00] ok i just installed namebar how do i take off the normal window borders so i can save space look here to see the namebar app http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/NameBar?content=101643 === sean is now known as Guest93250 [04:00] EasyTUX: where are you from? [04:00] linuxguy2009: network name? [04:01] SingAlong: The SSID [04:01] Just throwing this out there. (Not expecting anyone to diagnose my problem necessarily) -- I have an ATI Radeon x1650 card that seems to work fine (2d, 3d) but shows mild tearing while playing flash via Hulu, YouTube, etc. Not sure if it's driver (using ubuntu generic), or flash 10 (Adobe's driver). I know it's not compiz since I turn it off. Any ideas, suggestions? [04:01] SingAlong: If its not being broadcast then you have to manually enter it. [04:01] if root owns it I wonnt but what if I make adminstrator member of root goroup [04:01] zetheroo1: Where do you come from then, you over-developed guy ! ;) [04:01] linuxguy2009: k i entered UTStarcom in that place and added it [04:01] so could anyone tell me the sudo for installing frostwire or limewire? [04:01] EasyTUX: if you deem the US to be "under-developed" you should take a trip to Zambia or Bangladesh or something ... [04:02] SingAlong: try firefox [04:02] snuffy47: you shouldnt do that, just givning /media read and execute is all you need, which should be the default [04:02] !frostwire [04:02] frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [04:02] jzacsh, I'm trying to help someone who used the ubuntu installer and it appears grub was installed on his XP drive [04:02] linuxguy2009: shouldnt i be selecting the wireless connection first? [04:02] jzacsh: i just looked in package manager and it says that it is NOT installed [04:02] cdw32: yeah, i know its not a solution, sorry to break the news to you. you could try the free versions of flash (though I really think that'll be a waste of your time). just curiuos, how come you can "not" upgrade until LTS? [04:02] linuxguy2009: not working [04:02] SingAlong: Well yeah if its listed. [04:02] SingAlong: Try removing the blacklist entry and reboot. [04:02] linuxguy2009: k [04:03] zetheroo1: Just like china is... [04:03] what advantage ubuntu has on mandriva for coders? [04:03] I like the mandriva's skin [04:03] sweeeeetttt, 0 swap used! [04:03] EasyTUX: I am Swiss-German/German ... been to 40+ countries on 6 continents [04:03] Bam_Bam: I say "you should read about grub" not because I don't want to try and figure it out for you, but because that's the only advice i have (i honestly don't understand much about masterboot records and how the specific boot process works) [04:03] jzacsh: i have tried upgradeing in the past and it does not work then someone tole mw that LTS versions can only replace LLTS versions [04:03] but something tells me ubuntu is better [04:03] EasyTUX: so your from China? [04:03] hey... how can I get ubuntu 9.10 to not start gdm on boot, but just boot into the command line (every time)? [04:04] I tried removing gdm from the runlevels with update-rc.d, as suggested in forums, but it has no effect. [04:04] EasyTUX: are you saying that Zambia and Bangladesh is as developed as China? === Guest17743 is now known as meff [04:04] zetheroo1: EasyTUX: please take your discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [04:04] cdw32, ah - I see. um, I'd suggest (and I suggest this for any operating system) - that you clean install once in a while. I don't think I've ever upgraded a computer. [04:04] losha: why? its Ubuntu oriented === meff is now known as Guest64265 [04:05] I get this when doing sudo aptitude update on a new ec2 karmic launch from canonical: Connecting to security.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.37) [04:05] jzacsh: how does one go about that [04:05] lol [04:05] it can ping security.ubuntu.com [04:05] cdw32: first of all: make *absolutely sure* you are very confident in your back up system (and make one, if you dont' have one) [04:05] zetheroo1: EasyTUX: debating which country is more developed does seem ubuntu-oriented to me, but worse, it's boring... [04:05] losha: Okay... [04:05] zetheroo1: EasyTUX: does -> doesn't [04:05] jzacsh: like make a copy of all of my files [04:06] linuxguy2009: still no luck [04:06] losha: have you been following since the beginning? .. :) we may have trailed onto a side-road but if your had seen where it came from you would know that it is Ubuntu oriented - by the way .. where are you from? [04:06] no suggestions? I'm not sure how startup works in 9.10, but it looks like it may not use runlevels any more, since there is no /etc/inittab [04:06] losha: What do you prefer in your country ? ;P [04:06] cdw32: when I say "clean install", I mean you should make one last backup, clear out your entire hard drive (aka clean), install whatever OS you want on the new/fresh drive you've cleaned. then move your backed-up files into the new system. [04:06] losha: sorry that you are bored ... :( [04:06] SingAlong: click on the network icon you should see a wired network section and a wireless section [04:07] SingAlong: have the wireless one? [04:07] EasyTUX: so are you from China? [04:07] jzacsh: ok... [04:07] !ot | zetheroo1 [04:07] zetheroo1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:07] linuxguy2009: nope. but i found something wrong. the STA was disabled. just enabling it. [04:07] jzacsh: 9.10 is the latest, so i should go with that [04:07] cdw32: yes, backup is essentially a copy of all your files. but it can become complicated when you begin to consider permissions, automation, best-practice as far as saving space, etc. [04:07] SingAlong: Theres why. [04:07] When I start watching video file, SMPlayer uses about 16MB of memory, after I drag and drop another to same window, it suddenly uses ~320MB. After second video file, it doesn't seem to allocate more, but I have seen it use over 400MB many times. Any ideas what causes this? MPlayer process steadily uses 16-18MB. [04:07] jzacsh: and see [04:07] zetheroo1: EasyTUX: I think it;s best to keep this channel for its intended purpose: ubuntu support. By all means, discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic [04:08] jzacsh: yeah i have no clue [04:08] jzacsh: i can turn the copmuter on and off [04:08] lol [04:08] sebsebseb: again ... not off-topic .. please ask about the discussion before labelling it "off-topic" [04:08] Hi I just installed ubuntu 9.10 64 bit, I am running into a couple of problems. When I boot, I get" panel encountered a problem "FastUsersSwitchApplet" does not load. , I could really use this applet, is there a known fix? [04:08] linuxguy2009: let me activate it and try restarting [04:08] cdw32: keep in mind, a clean install is a bit of an endevear (you may be distracted mid-process and leave your computer w/o an operating system while you go out to lunch/ or w/e) [04:08] SingAlong: ok [04:08] zetheroo1: I will surely. Now be gentle with the miss please, shut up. [04:08] jzacsh: how long are we talking [04:08] linuxguy2009: ah! now after i activated it, it says that i need to restart my comp :) [04:08] Toto23 is spamming me [04:09] SingAlong: good sign [04:09] linuxguy2009: but the wireless is already working :D [04:09] linuxguy2009: thank you! thanks a lot!

Ill ask the room. [04:14] cdw32: i don't follow. are you looking at the downloads page of Ubuntu? The ubuntu downloads are in .iso formats, I think, yes.

[04:17] jzacsh: im sorry that is what [04:17] snuffy47: absolutly not, lol [04:17] cdw32: my opinion: before doing anything drastic, spend a week or so getting used to a new backup schema, playing with it, unarchiving old backups and making sure you know what do to with a backup when you need one (also figure how you're going to keep your backups somewhere other than on your harddrive) [04:18] cygnus_, What's glassfish?

Some times it draws the route over the sea.. does anyone knows what it could be? It happens on different computers with 9.10 [04:21] cdw32: well, its up to you, if you feel absolutely confident that deleting everything on your harddrive will not result in data loss for you, then go for it. but if that backup you just made (on your harddrive) is your only one, you may want to make a few more in other places.

[04:24] cdw32 anyways, once you're confident that you can clear your harddrive. just boot your computer from the ubuntu installer, and you'll find yourself on a step in the installation that allows you to install over your existing installation (and in turn deleting everything on that installation). as far as creating the insatller thumb-drive: once you've downloaded the proper ubuntu*.iso file, you can open unetbootin, select the iso from the "brow === Guest43996 is now known as meff [04:24] somebody help plz!

I'm having difficulty getting my Logitech QuickCam to work. Does anyone have any advice? [04:30] Billiard, doesnt make sense to me. telepathy-butterfly is needed for communication on the msn messenger network. so out of the box empathy is not compatible unless you add an extra package? [04:30] Jahmon, there are tutorials on youtube... [04:30] nhasian: On karmic at least, telepathy-butterfly is Recommended. [04:31] gdmsetup this will show you the process number assigned to pulse audio. then run kill [04:31] nhasian: dunno then, its just how they setup the packages [04:31] jzacsh: but am that wont stop pulse from starting next time i boot? [04:31] dAlfa89_: well Karmic is a bit of a bad release in certain ways for example things not working that used to in jaunty [04:31] greezmunkey - i know how it works etc - however something is stopping my card injecting from time to time and if i do a network-manager stop then it refuses to inject [04:31] ALT-F4, what model and whathappens? === pratik is now known as guest1080 [04:32] gdmsetup oh, to remove it from startup: system > preferences > startup applications [04:32] jbuncher: I am uncertain as to the model, but I get a static screen and then the program exits. [04:32] dAlfa89_: plus the new stuff in Karmic is hardly worth it, if running jaunty. Well 10.04 should be quite a bit better since it's the next long term support as well.

[04:33] how do i reset the gnome panels in 9,10 [04:33] wgrant, hmm maybe because i'm using the official empathy PPA they bumped telepathy-butterfly down to suggests instead of recommends for some reason [04:33] jbuncher, Camorama [04:33] Anyone know how to give a running process access to a higher percentage of cpu resources, I know the PID.

[04:33] dAlfa89_: you can run Karmic to get a feel for it inside Windows, in a virtual machine, as long as you have enough RAM [04:33] greezmunkey, "man nice" [04:33] jbuncher, I will try that now. But my goal is to get it to work with a chat program, much like yahoo chat in Windows.

[04:34] what does "umount: /media/cdrom2 mount disagrees with the fstab" mean? [04:34] dAlfa89_: and enough hard disk space, for the vm software and such, which you probably do [04:34] cdw32: did you install it via synaptic? [04:34] hi all... I wanna buzz in empathy using YM protocol... any clue...?? === Guest29927 is now known as meff [04:34] ALT-F4, well, if it works in cheese, I think I know how to get it to work. You said you were running jaunty right? [04:34] ubottu ty [04:34] jbuncher, yes, Jaunty, 9.04 [04:34] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [04:34] i know [04:34] kg: you mouted something as root which doesnt agree with the fstab file, you will have to unmount it as root, use sudo === meff is now known as Guest62708 [04:35] sebsebseb: I have Win7 in Vbox :D Also, is there much difference between the upgrade and the clean install of Karmic? Save for a few bugs, there didn't seem much added anyway [04:35] dAlfa89_: normalely Windows as host, with Ubuntu or another Linux distro in a vm, I woudn't recommend that normalley [04:35] jzacsh: um no i just made it executalbe under properties [04:35] jbuncher, yes that's for something I am about to start. I want to know if it's possible to give a running process a higher priority. [04:35] dAlfa89_: which Windows is psyicailly installed on there? XP? [04:35] XP SP3 [04:36] ok === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [04:36] jzacsh: its easier with system monitor... [04:36] dAlfa89_: as for upgrades from 9.04 well many people got issues after doing that [04:36] jzacsh: how do i do that [04:36] cdw32: i think your best bet is to always try synaptic or "add/remove" first [04:36] cdw32 try doing it that way. go to synaptic and search "unetbootin" [04:36] greezmunkey, http://www.forwardyouth.com/ubuntu/set-the-nice-level-of-an-existing-process/ [04:36] dAlfa89_: however the ones I read weren't Wubi installs [04:36] jbuncher, thanks for the reminder about that one, it's been a while! [04:36] so, is 9.10 more stable now? can i upgrade? [04:37] jzacsh: ive killed it but it comes up again--- cant kill it... [04:37] jzacsh: i did nothing came up [04:37] jbuncher, ok, I'll check that. [04:37] sebsebseb: last question: any big deal with ext4, or is there not much difference from ext3? [04:37] reduz: you can upgrade [04:37] gdmsetup oh- great, i forget about the graphic windows sometimes. well, you want to remove it from startup -killing it right now won't help you [04:37] Hi, when I load ubuntu, I get an error: The panel encountered a problem while loading"OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet". I'd very much like to get this applet to work if anyone has any ideas. [04:37] I just had an issue with my ubuntu server becoming unresponsive / no ssh or apache access. What logs should I check now it's been power cycled? [04:37] nhasian: http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com/9335289.html mentions the meaning of "Recommends" and refers to a policy that I don't seem able to find... [04:37] datz_: try choosing remove from panel, then add it manually? [04:38] ALT-F4, if it works in cheese, it may be that you need to load a compatibility library. I had to do that with my Logitech cam on Intrepid and Jaunty in order to get it to work with Skype (worked with cheese though). Check out http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1133991.html for details. [04:38] cdw32: sounds like you just need to allow all repositories (i totally don't remember how to turn on all repositories in synaptic) [04:38] Billiard: I didn't see it there, let me check again === d6chung_ is now known as d6chung [04:38] dAlfa89_: I nearly tried Wubi properly for 9.10, just to try, and I like how it warned about not getting full disk performance and such. As for why I coudn't boot up Wubi or the Debian thing that is similar it seems to of been, becasue Windows wasn't on the first partition on the hard disk. [04:38] anathematic: /var/log/syslog maybe [04:38] jbuncher: thanks, I will certainly do that if it works when cheese is done installing. [04:38] jzacsh: yeah im not far off [04:38] thanks Billiard I'll check it out now [04:39] it's actually happened twice today after 200+ days uptime so something is weird === Guest62708 is now known as meff [04:39] cdw32 try synaptic settings > repositories [04:39] Billiard: I can't find it, in the add to panel selection [04:39] do you guys like openbox im trying to figure out if i wanna use it [04:39] jzacsh: there [04:39] datz_: maybe you need to add it from the package manager === meff is now known as Guest48405 [04:39] dAlfa89_: Ext4 well in 9.04 oh yes big difference [04:40] Billiard: I'll check, I've already added gnome applets [04:40] webbb82: openbox is great, use the closed-source version for the best [04:40] losha, thanks that helps [04:40] jbuncher, it is working in cheese. I'm going to do that link you sent me now. I appreciate your help! Thanks :) [04:40] jzacsh: i have three tabs [04:40] dAlfa89_: much faster boot up, shut down, and disk checking after 23 or so boots with Ext4 in 9.04, but since the kernel they have and such it's not perfectly stable there [04:40] heyho, where can i get that [04:40] what is a "bit mask" [04:40] cdw32 okay, read the options, see if there's a way to turn on more resoures (repositories are just the places where synaptic package manager looks to find you softwre). I believe unetbootin is 3rd party software (not cannonical mantained), so you have to enable 3rd party software [04:40] dAlfa89_: stable enough I should put rather htan perfectly stable [04:41] sun's website, download the .deb package webbb82 [04:41] sebsebseb: It seems a common theme that many aspects of Karmic aren't stable ;D [04:41] ALT-F4, let me know if it works [04:41] guys wich IRC client would u consider the best for you guys? need opinions... bitchx ? irssi? xchat? [04:41] bigcat: in what context? [04:41] irssi ftw YaST [04:41] heyho, isnt this it http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Openbox:Download [04:41] irssi [04:41] dAlfa89_: stable enough to be relyed on for really important data and such, well I never got problems in 9.04 with Ext4, some other people did. As for 9.10 and Ext4 and 9.10 and Ext3, I first did my clean install of 9.10 with Ext3 to test that [04:41] YaST, I'm using xchat right now cuz it's pointed directly to this channel for me to get help, but I normally use Konversation, I think it's really good. [04:41] dAlfa89_: I have been testing it when it was in development since alpha 4 [04:41] dAlfa89_, ymmv on that one [04:42] important data does not belong on an ubuntu system [04:42] dAlfa89_: then I put it on with Ext4 for my proper install [04:42] jbuncher, [s]nice Thanks, it seems to work - you're ok, you know that! [04:42] im on irssi atm [04:42] jzacsh: i ahve to physically put in the repository [04:42] tishikawa1: why would you say that? [04:42] thank you billiard,i think i have found out [04:42] since bitchx isnt in the repo's anymore in karmic [04:42] webbb82: my bad, i was thinking of virtualbox... what i use [04:42] SB X-FI Xtreme Audio CA0110-IBG <-- my sound card is listed in 'System > Pref > Sound' but it wont play back any audio of any kind [04:42] greezmunkey, lol thanks, glad it helped [04:42] it shows up in alsamixer too [04:42] dAlfa89_: which I might be getting rid of not that long from now, if indeed it turns out that Mandriva 2010 is a great distro, well I had vm'd an RC and was quite impressed and the final for that one is meant to be pretty good [04:43] Billiard, I could not to one subfolder write without sudo because of a space in the folder name going to test :) [04:43] can we configure the OSD notify in Karmic yet? [04:43] lol so you were typing the folder name incorrectly? [04:43] dAlfa89_: with 9.10 on the other hand I have not been impressed with it at all. overall I find 9.04 much better [04:43] sebsebseb: Mandriva? ): also, 9.04 <3 [04:43] webbb82, do u use openbox? why do u use it? [04:44] cdw32: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [04:44] dAlfa89_: yeah Mandriva 2010 is meant to be pretty good, but when I tested teh RC it seemed to lack Ext4 hmm [04:44] Billiard: I can't find it. [04:44] Hi all === Guest48405 is now known as meff [04:44] i absolutely hate that notifications start at the top of the screen [04:44] what about best media player? that kinda plays all types of formats? Mplayer? :p [04:44] im not i was wondering if its worth testing [04:44] sebsebseb: What are Mandriva's plus-sides? Any particular features for gamers and coders like me? [04:44] YaST: mplayer, vlc [04:44] dAlfa89_, sebsebseb : just to throw in a differing opinion, I find Karmic to be *much* better than Jaunty, having fixed the intel issues I was having, as well as having *much* better versions of Kile and Okular for my LaTeX-ing needs. === meff is now known as Guest73349 [04:45] yast vlc. but i believe most applicatiosn can play pretty much anything given plugins [04:45] dAlfa89_: a RC I should say I think there were like two. anyway going back to Ext3 or Ext4 in 9.10 it doesn't seem to matter that much from my testing anyway, they both booted up about the same Ext3 or Ext4. Well the disk check will be slower in Ext3 sure the one after the 23 or so boots. [04:45] jbuncher, now I have the decompression of Google Earth, and X fighting for the CPU equally! [04:45] YaST, install the various plugins in Multiverse, and totem (the default player) will run nearly anything... [04:45] linuxguy2009: what te NVIDIA driver is looking for is the linux source headers [04:45] datz_: i think its called fast-user-switch-applet [04:45] dAlfa89_: ,but I didn't test that with Ext3 with 9.10 [04:45] webbb82, ah ok ;D [04:45] jzacsh: yeah my window doesnt look like that [04:45] sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.27-15-server [04:45] greezmunkey, lol ok then. Good luck with that? [04:46] dAlfa89_: well you can run pretty much every program you can in Ubuntu with other distros such as Mandriva, Fedora, Debian, etc [04:46] jbuncher, It ran my cpu up to about 85% which is ok, I just want that process to finish. [04:46] Billiard: thanks, I'm not sure how to get it. === heyho is now known as assin9 [04:46] dAlfa89_: Mandriva has some pretty interesting stuff by default, it's control centre and such for example [04:47] datz_: you have that package installed in the package manager? [04:47] has anyone figured out how to get the acrobat pdf plugin to work with google chrome? [04:47] ok.. another question.. my laptop is a core 2 due t8100 (2.10GHz) wich is the best kernel for it? I got the generic one... [04:47] sebsebseb: Control centre? Sounds funky.. [04:47] helpers, can anyone tell me about a good emulator for nintendo .nes games on karmic ? thanx [04:47] Billiard: I did a search in the package manager, that string didn't turn anything up [04:47] dAlfa89_: I haven't tried it out properly yet, but I think it's time soon [04:47] datz_: i think it doesnt like minuses [04:47] cdw32 you can also try here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories [04:48] try just the words datz_ fast user switch applet [04:48] dAlfa89_: Control Center even, but I don't want to spell centre the American way [04:48] Billiard, Changed a subfolder from Torrent Downloading to TorrentDownload and it works LOL [04:48] dAlfa89_: oh quite a few other distros out there as well that are worth trying in a vm at least [04:48] snuffy47: i see, you were refering to the directory name incorrectly lol [04:48] cdw32: honestly you'll be better off just googling a little more on your own and coming here when you're stuck on something you've read. I mean at this point, I'm just googling for you. and finding these pages, but its not as valuable as you doing the searching, because you're actually sitting right at your 8.04 system and know what to look for [04:49] ubuntu default remote desktop client Vinagre is terribly slow! Are there any other candidates? === Guest73349 is now known as meff [04:49] jbuncher: well I don't need Karmic to fix any hardware :) as for later versions of programs well ppa's or compile from source or whatever [04:49] jzacsh: i will take that advice...i am sorry [04:49] !vnc | yangxiao [04:49] yangxiao: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [04:49] sebsebseb: I see, I've tried Debian and Ubuntu, and have investigated Mandriva a couple of times, but Ubuntu is the only one friendly enough for me, I don't know enough to keep the others in check ): [04:49] I'm having trouble recompiling the vbox driver, according to this error log is the problem within ubuntu somewhere? http://pastebin.ca/1673034 === meff is now known as Guest48358 [04:49] Billiard, thnx B [04:49] jbuncher: and those Intel issues could have been fixed in Jauntey I expect and with the fixes coming from the default repos, if they didn't only provide security updates from them [04:50] snuffy47: np [04:50] cdw32: no need to be sorry, Hope I helped. :) I learn lots by helping so, enjoy this channel. [04:50] Billiard: http://pastebin.com/m1a4c6f55 [04:50] jzacsh: however i am going to have to call it a night... [04:50] jzacsh: i am trying to learn ubuntu, but it is difficult for me to grasp at times [04:50] sebsebseb, yeah, but I hate going outside the repos for things, seems to defeat the purpose unless you limit it to a very small number of apps (something like skype and such). They could have been, and I mucked with the xorg and got them *pretty* much resolved, but it still wasn't good enough. The main thing that killed Jaunty for me was the kile/okular situation and the lack of kde3 libs. [04:50] anyone know the default font for e17? Trying to change the font to be a little bigger, but the same font [04:50] i downloaded a video of the format wmv...em not able to watch it in ubuntu .....what should i do? [04:51] thanks, guys [04:51] dAlfa89_: well I am a bit locked in to Ubuntu really after all this time, using since the second release in 2005, unfortunatly it has been going better in certain ways and worse in others since 8.04. [04:51] akyapt: what are you using to try and play it? [04:51] cdw32: well, once you learn each peice of the system you get to keep it, so your time isn't wasted :) [04:51] datz_: try installing ubuntu-desktop package [04:51] akyapt: try installing vlc via synaptic [04:52] blue1 :movie player [04:52] Hi, I'm having trouble installing Songbird. Is there anybody that can help? [04:52] jbuncher, it's working with Camorama now. Could you recommend a good program that I can use to chat with Window users that are using yahoo instant messenger? [04:52] akyapt: totem should be able to play that - is that what you are using? [04:52] jzacsh:will movie player not work? [04:52] jbuncher: latex stuff I don't really know about that, but by the way there's a Kubuntu KDE 3 Remix CD for jaunty karmic and I think maybe 8.10 as well, plus a ppa that can be installed [04:52] blue1 :i tried but its not opening [04:52] akyapt it may with plugins (or natively) - but I've never really given it a chance. [04:52] akyapt: yeah plugins... [04:52] Hello guys i am giving invitations to lockerz, any one interested click here: http://www.wix.com/Luija1006/Lockerz-Invites-By-Luis-Javier === root is now known as iDev [04:53] jzacsh: thanks so mucj! [04:53] jbuncher: KDE 3 ppa being for each version, not the same ppa for those three, or whatever [04:53] Night all! [04:53] cdw32: good luck with your system :) [04:53] blue1 :so wont movie player work? === iDev is now known as asdsakfasd [04:53] sebsebseb, I'm mostly a gnome user, but kile is the one kde program I use heavily, so I didn't want an entire remix or ppa for one program and such. At any rate, everything is working well for me in Karmic, so all is good :) [04:53] what is ppa? [04:53] !kde3 | jbuncher [04:53] jbuncher: Kubuntu 8.04 ships with KDE3 and full support. Jaunty does not include KDE3 but a remix install CD can be obtained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty . This is not officially supported. Support, instructions and ways to contribute can be found on the wiki page [04:53] Kris07: whats the prob? [04:53] jzacsh: i need a miracal [04:54] Back to 9.04 I come <3 [04:54] Billiard: should the applet be added after installing ubuntu-desktop? [04:54] ALT-F4, glad to hear the camera is working. For Yahoo Messenger with camera, I was aable to do this on older ubuntu installations using the kde program kopete, and it worked fairly well. You might want to give that a try. [04:54] Billiard: I still don't see it [04:54] jbuncher: same here mainly a Gnome user, but I run some KDE apps in it here and there, well Konversation has been my IRC client for months now, I guess more like two years or so === Guest48358 is now known as meff [04:54] Billiard, it won't extract into /opt [04:54] akyapt: you might need a plugin - start with this one: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:54] I can't kill a process! kill -9 won't nuke it, any have any other ideas? [04:54] jbuncher, thanks a lot, your assistance has been invaluable. I really appreciate it, and I'll give kopete a try. [04:54] anyone know how to integrate e17's theme into my apps? === meff is now known as Guest95281 [04:54] aperson: kill -9 will work [04:54] Sincere: ppa's are basically mini repos for later versions of programs, but they are not fullly supported by Ubuntu, so sometimes they might brake something [04:55] datz_: i would think it should, but not sure, some people say its a very recent bug that its not in the repos correctly [04:55] blue1:ill try...thanks [04:55] sebsebseb, I just use xchat. I'm trying to think of other kde apps I use, and I think kopete is the only one, in the rare cases I need to use a webcam with someone on yahoo. [04:55] td123, no, it doesn't [04:55] Billiard: ok [04:55] aperson: is it a zombie? [04:55] Kris07: wont as it? [04:55] akyapt: i know that installs gstreamer but i think the wmv support as well I don't honestly remember... [04:55] td123, yes [04:55] aperson: well then you can't kill it [04:55] so, if i click this 'upgrade' button, the world isnt going to end? [04:55] Billiard: it worked right after install, but I installed a bunch of software and it stopped working [04:55] aperson: a zombie process won't take any memory up [04:55] jbuncher: that annoys me to some extent how most Ubuntu users use Xchat, when there are other rather good IRC clients as well such as Konversation or IRSSI even after configuring [04:56] Kris07: soryy, wont as in? it errors or goes somewher else or what? [04:56] td123, it's holding my cd drive shut [04:56] td123, it's vlc that won't die [04:56] blue1:i already have ubuntu -restricted-extras [04:56] datz_: idk, maybe it will be fixed after some updates [04:56] sebsebseb, why does it annoy you? I find xchat to be pretty good. I like it better than gnome-xchat or xchat-gnome or whatever it's called. [04:56] aperson: try using a paper-clip to open the cd drive (the tiny little hole in the drive). actually, mayb ethat's a bad idea - if the drive's spinning [04:56] whats the current kernel version with karmic? [04:57] jbuncher: most Ubuntu users that use the IRC I should say. well yeah it's meant to be better than that one, but try some other clients :) [04:57] jzacsh, it is spinning [04:57] activity light is on too [04:57] aperson: was someone just suggesting you kill vlc? [04:57] My xorg.config is empty - is this normal. I'm using whatever generic drivers ubuntu uses by default. [04:57] jbuncher: oh yeah we are off topic really, but no o p s or whatever telling us off [04:57] Billiard: ok, I guess I'll look for it after some updates, maybe I shouldn't have deleted it [04:57] !irc | jbuncher [04:57] #gultij [04:57] jbuncher: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [04:57] aperson: just restart it, or google on tips about how to deal with zombie processes [04:58] Join #gultij [04:58] anyone know when 10.04 alpha 1 will come out [04:58] aperson did you type something like "ps -au | grep -i vlc" and then sudo kill its number? what happened when you tried? [04:58] sebsebseb, well then I'll turn it into a support question. I'm looking for a better client than xchat, but don't want a kde one. What would you suggest and why? === FireCrotch_ is now known as FireCrotch [04:58] jbuncher: irssi then and people tend to use that with a program called screen [04:59] :-)Thank you Billiard, I found the command I needed to unmount it on-line in the Ubuntu Forums. [04:59] sebsebseb, now I just need the "why" :) [04:59] jzacsh, I pgrep'd it and I've tried sudo kill -9 [04:59] hmm guess he left... [04:59] kg: ok === Guest95281 is now known as meff [04:59] aperson: I'm assuming you've rebooted? [04:59] aperson: kill -9 doesn't gaurentee killing a zombie [04:59] jbuncher: why, becasue that's all quite popular well with experienced Desktop Linux users, and it runs in the shell (terminal, konsole if you like even) and so that's good, and after customizing it it can do a lot === meff is now known as Guest84067 [04:59] I'd like to keep my uptime, tyvm :) [04:59] aperson, you can't kill the dead [05:00] I am using Karmic Koala. Upgraded from Jaunty. Now, I need to Install windows too as dual boot. how can I do this? I need grub to be the bootloader. please help. [05:00] greezmunkey, I'm starting to see this [05:00] But killing them is not possible as the zombies are dead already. [05:00] whats the current kernel version with karmic? (someone type uname -a please) [05:00] aperson what about logging out? and in? (and yes, what - td123 said - are you sure that's how to kill it? I've never used "9") [05:00] it doesn't have a parent process either [05:01] sebsebseb, I'll keep that in mind. I don't really want to run IRC in a terminal, but that could definitely come in handy if X gets hosed. I'll be staying away from Konversation, if only because I can't stand the "K" naming in KDE. [05:01] jzacsh, I'm pretty sure I know how to work kill :) [05:01] hello? [05:01] jbuncher: and your not exactly a newbie if you use IRSSI, and I like to joke about xchat sometimes, because most of the new Ubuntu users that use IRC use it as well as a lot of more experienced ones. anyway as a joke I like to sometimes call it noobchat for this very reason [05:01] sjd: do you need dual boot for games or something else.. could you get away with a vm of windows? [05:01] I can't open my EXT3 partition on my flash drive, I get this http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/d4702c1d7 [05:01] I just happen to have a process that is keeping my cd drive shut as vlc tried to read a bad cd [05:01] sjd, generally, you should install windows first. Since you didn't, install windows to the partition you want, then reinstall the bootloader from a jaunty cd [05:02] aperson, usually a zombie is a child process in a wait state, or some such thing. Once the process that spawned is stops, the zombie will "die" as well. I always have one on my system. I tracked it down to a process that gets started on boot. It's never been a problem. [05:02] jbuncher: not for games. i dont use win but my dad. [05:02] greezmunkey, there is no parent to this [05:02] jbuncher: but karmic uses grub 2 right? [05:02] aperson, what is it? [05:02] greezmunkey, vlc is tried to read a bad cd and is stuck reading it === bintang is now known as co_anarkis [05:03] sjd, fresh installs of karmic use grub 2, if you upgraded from jaunty it's still using grub-legacy, which is why I recommended using a jaunty cd to reinstall the bootloader. [05:03] aperson, does it interfere with your use of the system? [05:03] What's /dev/console used for? [05:03] My xorg.conf is empty. Is that normal? I'm using the generic/default drivers. [05:03] jbuncher: okay. let me give a try. how do I install the grub from the Jaunty live? [05:03] Arsin, try running an fsck on the flash drive when it is unmounted [05:03] anarcap: using karmic? === secret is now known as Guest43662 [05:03] hello, I suddenly lost the ability to right-click and add folders on my desktop [05:04] Billiard: Sorry, yes. Karmic. [05:04] greezmunkey, well, as I can't open my drive, I'd say yes === Guest84067 is now known as meff [05:04] anarcap: thats fine then [05:04] aperson, hmmm vlc, huh. [05:04] anarcap did you uninstall anything lately? [05:04] anarcap in example: an ubuntu-desktop package, or gnome-desktop package? === meff is now known as Guest87185 [05:04] jbuncher: ? === Guest43662 is now known as devi_honest [05:05] greezmunkey, yeppers, is there a way to force eject a drive? I man'd eject and it doesn't seem to have the capability [05:05] I'm just trying to figure out why I'm getting tearing in flash (hulu, youtube, etc) playback, and in Compiz effects. (DVD/Video plays fine) [05:05] i got win7 installed then i instaled ubuntu and everythng works nice. not i want to clone the drive to a smaller one and i am using ghost to clone the whole drive. it is resizing my win7 patrion smaller but its all good as it was only using 20% of it. [05:05] I still cannot access shares on my Linux box from the windows box. Network neighbourhood sees the computer but when I try to access the computer it says "The computer or sharename could not be found". When I click Start>Run>computername it says the "network name cannot be found", the same goes for if I use Start>Run> \\192.168.0.2\ [05:05] jzacsh - I've been running ubuntu 9.10 for like a week. I may have made some video changes...let me check [05:05] after the cone will i need to run the grub boot loader manualy or should it just work? [05:05] aperson try the paper-clip in the pin-hole [05:06] jzacsh, the drive *is spinning* but I guess I can try since the disc is bad anyways [05:06] sjd, I'm having trouble finding the exact link, but google for "reinstall grub after installing windows" or something similar. Just make sure you get one that's grub 1, and not grub 2. [05:06] jzacsh, hah, success! [05:06] jbuncher: okay. [05:07] aperson now see if you can kill vlc (just curious) [05:07] jzacsh, no dice [05:07] aperson, is it indeed a bad disc? [05:07] aperson, so when you press the button nothing happens? [05:07] greezmunkey, nope, but a small screwdriver did the trick :) [05:07] jbuncher: hope I got it http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [05:07] jzacsh, I'd say after I just broke it in half it is [05:08] aperson, sounds like you got revenge. congratulations [05:08] thanks greezmunkey and jzacsh [05:08] greezmunkey: The inferior Samba is still troubling me. [05:09] sjd, yeah, I think that will work. You'll have to follow the instructions about adding the windows entry that they give there, as well. [05:09] aperson, you can try this if it happens again: umount -f /dev/"yourCDdrive" [05:09] jbuncher: sure :) thank you! === jzacsh is now known as jonz === Guest87185 is now known as meff [05:09] Ascavasaion, did you dig into the permissions side? [05:09] Hi again. I'm booted to ubuntu and have a second (ext3) drive hooked up... how do I access it? I did yesterday, either it was in the Places list or clicked around until it did show up there. Not seeing it now though [05:09] greezmunkey, thanks, after ejecting both of my drives, nautilus still has both them listed as having discs in them === meff is now known as Guest33826 [05:10] greezmunkey, so I think I'll have to unmount them myself [05:10] sjd, hang on, are your windows and linux installs on the same hard drive, or different drives? [05:10] greezmunkey: I went ito nautiuls and gave read and write permissions to everynoe. === napster is now known as Guest96100 [05:10] Hello all! [05:10] Nautilus [05:10] aperson, try to respawn (kill -HUP) Nautilus, someone here should be able to help with that. [05:10] yes? ;) [05:10] jbuncher: different drives. I already had windows. since it sucks, I have to re install. :) [05:11] Nautilus: Nothing... made a typo and was correcting it. [05:11] jbuncher: but dad is trying hard to switch to GNU/Linux, but takes time! [05:11] sjd, can you be more specific about how you have the drives partitioned and which one boots by default and such? [05:11] Can some one tell me why I don't have permission to this even with sudo? [05:11] Ascavasaion: just funning [05:11] jzacsh - I've had the tearing problem with flash since the day I installed ubuntu. I've just been putting up with it until now === Guest96100 is now known as napster [05:11] Nautilus: Oh, hehe [05:11] dno - you don't have permission to what? [05:11] Nautilus: Wow, you must get a LOT of highlighted messages, eh? :D [05:11] dAlfa89_: BWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! [05:11] yea, i prefer when it's typo'd, lol [05:12] oops help to put the command: $ sudo echo 1 > /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI PERMISSION DENIED [05:12] Ascavasaion, hold a bit, I'll set one up real quick an dtest it to see where you may be going wrong... [05:12] jbuncher: sure. I have two 80 GB HDD. Windows is in the first partition of the first HDD and Ubuntu is in the first partition of the Second HDD :) [05:12] greezmunkey: Um.. okay. [05:12] Nautilus: Would you rather us call it Nortylas? :D [05:12] dno: echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI [05:12] sjd, where is grub? [05:12] dno: echo 1 > sudo tee /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI [05:12] hello, I suddenly lost the ability to right-click and add folders on my desktop [05:12] jonz: I am having a heck of a time mounting my nas in 9.10 [05:12] dAlfa89_: Or maybe NaughtyLass :) [05:12] bastid_raZor: you want a |, not a > [05:13] jbuncher: first hdd, first partition. [05:13] dAlfa89_: how about nauti-less [05:13] now to figure out why blank discs don't have eject in the context menu! [05:13] lstarnes: correct. my mistake [05:13] and why the eject button next to them in nautilus does nothing [05:13] Ascavasaion: good one [05:13] jbuncher: im not sure, How can I confirm that? [05:13] sjd, so grub is installed to the MBR of the windows drive, and when you boot ubuntu the "ubuntu" drive shows up as /dev/sdb or /dev/hdb? [05:14] dno sorry, i don't have experience w/nas's. === Guest33826 is now known as meff [05:14] jbuncher: I think hd = ATA, and sd=SATA... not sure though. [05:14] jbuncher: exactly, sdb2 [05:14] jzacsh :: I used the guide here (http://guvnr.com/pc/ubuntu-top-software/) in order to configure a lot of packages, etc. after I installed ubuntu 9.10. I installed the Flash 10 driver from Adobe. === meff is now known as Guest31612 [05:14] so, how do I see my other ext3 drive? I dont recall mounting it yesterday when I got it to go, but maybe something I clicked on did that for me. [05:14] anyone found a workaround to the issue of 9.10 5+minute boot time and sometimes failure of the video (being dumped at the cmd prompt) [05:15] Ascavasaion, depends on the version of ubuntu he's running, that distinction was done away with so that everything is /dev/sdx in later versions. [05:15] Okay ladies, Wubi is still giving me hassle on boot, same thing as with Karmic: Background shows; no GDM; No dropping to command-line ): [05:15] 9.04 and 9.10 go through the same thing [05:15] jbuncher: Okies, thanks. [05:15] jonz: Thanks [05:15] Ascavasaion, the hd/sd thing went away at least a couple of Ubuntu releases ago [05:16] sjd, ok then. I was curious if windows was on the "first" drive as the motherboard saw it, as windows gets angry when it's not, and you may have had to mess around with the "map" commands in the windows grub entry. That doesn't seem to be the case though. === secret is now known as Guest2505 [05:16] Does anyone know how to mount a nas? [05:16] anarcap i'm not familiar with that article. does it have you remove anything? [05:16] My ATI x1650 works great (2d, 3d) except for tearing in flash playback and compiz effects like wobbly windows and cube. [05:16] jonz - no. I didn't actually remove anything. I just installed stuff. === frivol is now known as flippo [05:17] or should I say trouble shoot the correct permissions? [05:17] hey what are some cool new apps for ubuntu? [05:17] Ascavasaion, and I think that happened at the kernel level, so it's not ubuntu-specific. I think it happened after hardy, though I'm not sure. [05:17] Ascavasaion, there was a whole new driver stack at one point. [05:18] i came back to my computer and it seems like it's frozen (the screen is black, the keyboard/mouse unresponsive, etc.) but I can ssh into it from another computer. does anyone know if i can recover my session? (i'm ssh'd into it remotely right now) [05:18] jbuncher: now lets put it this way: I have windows on the first hdd. called sda1. ubuntu on hdd2 sdb2. grub in sda1. now Im going to format sda1 and reinstall windows. then boot up from a jaunty live and use sudo grub to fix grub. okay? [05:19] sjd, that sounds good. Though I don't think you have grub installed to /dev/sda1, but rather the Master Boot Record (MBR) of /dev/sda . It *is* possible to install grub to a partition, though that's not normally done unless you're chainloading and such from another bootloader. === Guest31612 is now known as meff [05:19] scottyg: I found an awesome article in the ubuntu forums the other day: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=382137&highlight=entity+relationship+diagram&page=2 [05:19] Should I be using the fglrx drivers for my x1650 radeon card? [05:19] scottyg: I found a ton of awesome apps listed there === meff is now known as Guest13414 [05:19] jbuncher: i guess so. but the above steps should go fine right? [05:20] !crunchbang [05:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about crunchbang === secret is now known as Guest70772 [05:21] sjd, yeah, they should work. [05:21] jbuncher: thanks bro! :) [05:21] sjd, no problem [05:22] jordanl: try running top [05:22] is there anyway to use fluxbox+compiz ? xD [05:22] anybody know why a mount (via smbmount in terminal) wouldn't show any files/directories using ls, but I can cd into directories? [05:22] or compiz only works with gnome and kde? [05:22] napster :: I tried #crunchbang for a few days. I really liked it. [05:23] anarcap: And what is openbox...? [05:23] in crunchbang [05:23] yast, that's an interesting question. Is fluxbox actually a "desktop environment" like GNOME or KDE, or is it just a window manager with a few extra pieces? [05:23] jga23: directory rights - I think you have exec but not read. [05:23] jbuncher: itts like gnome and kde [05:24] alot neater tho [05:24] yast, no fluxbox+compiz i'm affraid - they are both the same thing Windows Managers === Guest13414 is now known as meff [05:24] that sucks [05:24] can someone pastebin a grub.cfg that has a windows boot? [05:24] fluxbox+compiz would rock === meff is now known as Guest60574 [05:24] what about fluxbox+xgl ? [05:25] its nearly the same ting tho [05:25] CarlFK: how can I change the directory rights? [05:25] thing* [05:25] yast, I was asking technically. My first intro to linux was fluxbox+debian, so I'm well acquainted with it, but I always thought fluxbox was just a window manager (like metacity), so that means compiz would have to replace fluxbox, which kills the point. [05:25] CarlFK: you shouldn't be editing grub.cfg directly. There is a file in /etc/grub.d for custom entries [05:25] Is there a Rosetta Stone like app for Ubuntu? [05:26] <_ged> hi, does anyone managed to install a pgAgent on ubuntu here? (it's a job scheduler for postgres) [05:26] lstarnes: k - can someone pastebin that? guessing /etc/grub.d/40_custom [05:26] jbuncher: Im quite a newbie in linux... lol so I would not know .. I know some basics that I've learned a few years ago.. but then I stopped using linux for like 6 or 7 years [05:26] kinda lost pretty much all the basics that I knew [05:26] :) [05:26] napster - openbox is a window manager [05:26] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox [05:26] anarcap: ty m8 [05:27] lstarnes: oh right didn't know that, well I haven't read up about Grub 2 just yet [05:27] lstarnes: I have been wondering how to edit it though [05:27] napster :: ty m8 (?) [05:27] I'm running xubuntu, clean install, and the window manager (xfce) seems to not be running. what might cause this, where might I find a log file saying that's going on? [05:27] yast, ok, was just wondering. But yeah, I don't think compiz is possible on fluxbox/openbox/blackbox/etc. There might be some other way of getting compositing though. [05:27] lstarnes: since the config file says not to edit [05:27] chowells_, can you elaborate? [05:27] sebsebseb: it even gets overwritten when grub is updated [05:27] jga23: it is either rights of the filesystem being shared over samba, or samba is imposing more restrictions - neither can over ride the other, so its hard to know what needs to be changed [05:28] sebsebseb hi [05:28] sebsebseb: but /etc/grub/40_custom isn't overwritten [05:28] Does anyone here know much about ATI Drivers? [05:28] bcuz on compiz config gui its says only compatibility with gnome and kde tho [05:28] lstarnes: the do not edit config file you mean? [05:28] jbuncher: have you ever run X without a window manager? that's exactly what's going on. no window decorations, etc [05:28] linuxghost: hi [05:28] sebsebseb: grub.cfg gets overwritten [05:28] CarlFK: hmm, I'm trying to connect to my airport extreme. works great in nautilus, but not in terminal [05:28] lstarnes: oh ok [05:28] wich is quite frustrating.. sure if I google I'll find something out.. either fluxbox+compiz or fluxbox+xgl [05:28] chowells_, ah, so like the titlebar and max/min/close buttons aren't showing? [05:28] chowells_: not sure this is what you're looking for, but try: cat /var/log/dpkg.log [05:29] anarcap: Ohh yup. Thats "Thank You Mate" [05:29] lstarnes: can I change the colours for the new Grub, I assume I can some how, with the old that was easy just uncomment pretty colours for example [05:29] jbuncher: yes [05:29] anarcap: New to channels..? [05:29] sebsebseb i didnt noolve my trouble, its dificult to update via live cd [05:29] anarcap: :) === Guest60574 is now known as meff [05:29] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [05:29] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [05:29] sebsebseb: I think there's a setting somewhere [05:29] CarlFK: http://erickoo.wordpress.com/2009/06/14/how-to-add-vista-partition-to-grub-2-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/ may be useful === meff is now known as Guest7999 [05:30] chowells_, that actually happens once in a great while on my hardy install with nvidia drivers, I usually juts log in and out to fix it. If it happens every time for you though, that likely won't fix it. [05:30] linuxghost: maybe lstarnes can help you out nicely, if you tell him about your problems, I will be going to bed soon [05:30] sebsebseb: please don't refer people to me [05:30] lstarnes: thanks - looks good [05:30] jbuncher: hmm. My video drivers are currently broken. I'll fix them and see if that helps [05:30] lstarnes: ok np sorry [05:31] napster - I've used channels off and on for years. Never more than recently though. PS. I new TY, but not m8. Thanks [05:31] yast: The thing that is most often confused is the difference between *box sessions and the window manager of the same name. compiz is a WM. *box is a WM. Only one WM can run at a time for any given X session [05:31] lstarnes: U dnt want to help me? [05:31] linuxghost: did you run sudo dpkg --configure -a ? === secret is now known as Guest56592 [05:31] chowells_, that might be, if it's trying to load compiz and all of the 3d goodness isn't happening. Maybe try turning off compiz first and seeing if it helps? [05:31] i'm stumped but this should be easy. I can see the ext3 drive I want in my file browser, but doing an 'Open' does nothing. I see the partition I want in dev/disk/by-id but clicking there just says it doesnt have a suitable application for the filetype [05:31] What program do I use to extract files that are in multpiule pieces [05:31] Closed fglrx VS open source ATI drivers ?? Anyone have an opinion on that? [05:31] anarcap: But I'm new to channels. Just kidding m8 :) [05:32] soreau: hmmm didnt know that... thkz for clarifiing tho :) [05:32] yes , i run the output:ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a [05:32] dpkg: failed to write status record about `bogofilter' to `/var/lib/dpkg/status': No space left on device [05:32] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [05:32] napster: are you english? [05:32] anarcap: And whats that PS...? [05:32] linuxghost: check df -h [05:32] Nautilus, sudo mount -t ext /dev/whatyouwantmounted /where/you/want/mounted [05:32] lzy: you might be out of space [05:32] anarcap: NO [05:32] Okay, I made the folder ni the linux Samba share drwxrwxrwx and it STILL does not come up as a share when I try to enter it from the Windows machine. [05:32] lzy: sorry, wrong user [05:32] Nautilus, sorry, correction, sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/whatyouwantmounted /where/you/want/mounted [05:33] What IRC client do you use. [05:33] jbuncher: is there a GUI way? [05:33] anarcap: Me...? Using Xchat... [05:34] Ascavasaion, I'm booting on of my winboxen now to test, brb [05:34] i guess ubuntu wont be able to fix the slpash screen problem for people who have intel onboard video i still cant use ubuntu 9.10 [05:34] anarcap: I use Konversation :) [05:34] Nautilus, none that comes to mind if the partition you want mounted doens't show up in the places menu. Maybe open "computer" and see if it's there. If it is, try double-clicking. === Guest7999 is now known as meff [05:34] napster: where are you from...somewhere where "mate" is used. [05:34] erikk71usa, what chipset? [05:34] erikk71usa: and 9.04 is bad as well for you? [05:34] sebsebseb - Konversation. KDE I take it. === meff is now known as Guest56512 [05:35] anarcap: it's a KDE app yes, but I run it inside Gnome :) [05:35] greezmunkey: Thank you. [05:35] no [05:35] 9 .04 [05:35] anarcap: No no. I just used it for something like...like...."Buddy"..... ;D [05:35] is fine [05:35] sebseb: I'll give it a shot. [05:35] anarcap: ok good, and yeah it's pretty good [05:35] jbuncher: Oh I think I got too deep into dev/disk/by-id. now I see the sda and sdb in /dev [05:36] mental block: I need to add a user to an svn repo. what's the appropriate svnadmin command to add the user with an md5 encrypted password? [05:36] Ascavasaion, np, been a while since I've done this, but it all looks about the same. Should have it in a bit. [05:36] is there a good program that can stitch together photographs to make a panoramic? [05:36] greezmunkey: Okies [05:36] Nautilus, ok. [05:36] erikk71usa: ok well for various reasons I find 9.04 better overall than 9.10 [05:36] @all: please read carefully user guide on ubuntu document :D [05:36] i install ubuntu 9.10 as soon as i restart it i see the white ubuntu logo an the screen goes black an sits there [05:36] chompy, there's hugin [05:37] chompy hugin [05:37] thanks :) [05:37] is there anyway to change gtk themes of programs if you are using e17 instead of gnome [05:37] what is "${idopts}" in init.d script? [05:38] jbuncher: I right click on sda1, but no option to mount it === Guest56512 is now known as meff [05:39] Can i transfer all the bookmarks in my browser to another system...? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [05:39] Any idea..? [05:39] i guess when 9.04 not supported [05:39] then what === meff is now known as Guest8506 === wolf is now known as Guest93582 [05:39] lstarnes: hi [05:39] napster, yess [05:40] Nautilus, does the partition show up in Places -> Computer? [05:40] Linuxghost: you might be out of HD space [05:40] Linuxghost: check df -h [05:40] jonz: How...? [05:40] napster: sure, but maybe you'd like xmarks.com [05:40] keeping running it with no suppport [05:40] Ok [05:40] Warzone is a decent game. [05:40] napster if you're using firefox, click Bookmarks > "organize bookmarks" > "import and backup" > "backup" [05:40] erikk71usa: you can probably still update to 9.10 when 9.04's support ends [05:40] erikk71usa: 9.10 will likely be more stable by then [05:41] jbuncher: yes it's there now, I did a reboot and wiggled power wire, inspected etc [05:41] ok [05:41] not if it hangs up on the boot [05:41] i cant [05:41] Ascavasaion, get you apt-get install samba by any chance? [05:41] napster Nautilus: ++ I also keep my bookmarks mostly online (igoogle's bookmarks) [05:41] Nautilus, try double-clicking that [05:41] jbuncher: have done that and right-click Opened, nothing happens [05:41] Nautilus: jonz thank you :) [05:41] greezmunkey: You mean did I? Nope. [05:41] erikk71usa, what graphics chipset do you have? [05:42] greezmunkeyBack in about 10 minutes. [05:42] jonz: cool [05:42] Ascavasaion, Haha, you need to! [05:42] i dont know its a dell gx 260 [05:42] erikk71usa: you could check lspci | grep VGA [05:42] * greezmunkey knows Ascavasaion has been working on this all day, calling it SH1t too! [05:43] anyone have experience with playing ripped dvds in ubuntu? [05:43] peepsalot: some [05:43] Ascavasaion, I was able to install and browse in in about three minutes. [05:43] peepsalot: nope. have you played with a bunch of difference apps? (vlc for example?) [05:43] Blue1, what program do you use, and which file is the one to see the menu screen [05:43] if i boot my computer up with 2 video cards installed SLI, i get no display once ubuntu starts, if i take one out, everything works fine like normal. how would i get both cards working together? [05:43] He' gonna really hate it now! :] [05:43] peepsalot: can we go to private message? [05:44] Blue1, ok [05:44] jbuc: cmd line way, is this right?: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /myoldhd === Guest8506 is now known as meff [05:44] greezmunkey, the cd must have magically un-mounted itself at some point! === meff is now known as Guest20763 === FireCrotch_ is now known as FireCrotch [05:45] aperson, you good then? [05:45] jbuncher: cmd line way, is this right?: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /myoldhd [05:45] greezmunkey, indeed [05:45] don't know why I felt the need to update you :) [05:45] Nautilus: seems right [05:46] Nautilus, if you want to mount the drive to the folder /myoldhd , then yes. [05:46] aperson, got some samba tweeking to do for Ascavasaion, he hates samba! [05:46] what is fast protocol : google SPDY or http ? === _ruben_ is now known as _ruben [05:46] Nautilus: Your mounting the first partition of sda to /myoldhd [05:46] what is fastest protocol : google SPDY or http ?

[05:47] jbuncher: this'll be just fine to copy my files off [05:47] Nautilus, ok [05:47] has anyone implemented any good backup bash or sh scripts on there box's? [05:48] erikk71usa, your "blank screen" problems in karmic might be fixed by turning off KMS at boot with the "nomodeset" opetion [05:48] jbuncher: mount: mount point myoldhd does not exist [05:48] is 9.10 really 4.4GB bigger than 9.04, installed?? [05:48] Nautilus: you can unmount it later using either sudo umount /dev/sda1 or sudo umount /myoldhd [05:48] thats 50% bigger in juts 6 months [05:48] greezmunkey: I am back. [05:48] Nautilus, you need to create the folder first before trying to mount a drive to it. [05:48] jonz, I use grsync to figure out what to tell rsync, and then I use that in a script [05:48] Nautilus: didi you create the directory first? [05:49] greezmunkey: When I do an apt-get nistall samba it wants to uninstall a whole ton of stuff. [05:49] oh. hrm [05:49] aperson: thanks :) [05:49] kermit, why do you think it's that much bigger?

[05:50] yeah [05:50] nvidia [05:50] kermit, well, a good chunk of that is just the fact that you need to download every single package. So in order for the upgrade to work, you need enough space to download *everything*, and then enough space to unpack all of that while overwriting the old stuff.

[06:02] Meowpup: 9.10 or 9.04 [06:02] Meowpup: sorry, wrong user [06:02] billybigrigger: you could try gksudo -i 'nohup stunnel ....' [06:02] Nemtaro: 9.10 or 9.04 [06:02] an it cant be fixed [06:02] why is it, that everytime I remove my USB drive.. the letters go up... its now SDE1 when it should be SDC1 [06:02] wheres the porn at? [06:02] ??? [06:03] lstarnes: ok then how can i edit what fortuned are in fortunes in terminal [06:03] What would be a good way to shutdown a machine if it has been sitting at the GDM login for a certain amount of time? Could this be a job for cron? Or should I go another route? [06:03] Nemtaro: some users have had issues with 9.10, but it would likely have better netbook support [06:03] Dravekx: do you safely remove you drive when you remove it? [06:03] ok, but 9.1 is unable to partition my 8gb disk, it's not that bloody complicated to partition a disk [06:03] Meowpup: do you know how to edit text files? [06:03] RUNINWATER_CPO2, that is not appropriate for here, please desist [06:03] Nemtaro: try 9.04 [06:03] ok, thanks [06:03] Billiard, no. I just remove it... its a USB flash drive. [06:03] Dravekx: you should safely remove it, thats probably the prob [06:04] uccadmin: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-shutdown-command-and-logfile.html [06:04] Dravekx: prolly need to clean up your fstab [06:04] Billiard, how do you unmount? [06:04] rhorse, k :) === Guest65703 is now known as meff [06:04] Ascavasaion: you might look at what the Windows net command tells ya. I think theres a net map or something in there [06:04] Dravekx: you can right click it and click unmount, on the desktop [06:04] uccadmin: (that's if you'll end up putting it in cron) [06:04] Dravekx: sudo umount /dev/ [06:04] Nautilus: Can only map it once you can see it. === meff is now known as Guest8882 === xelpud is now known as fduplex [06:05] why is it by default Nautilus asks for password to mount a partition, yet if you run K3B (same user) you can mount the same partition through browsing for an iso to burn [06:05] Billiard, Im SSH ubuntu server. [06:05] Ascavasaion: yea, just another way to see if you can see it, i guess. [06:05] jonz: Yes, I know the command to shut down. I'm trying to figure out what is the best method for the system to determine WHEN to shut down. I need to be able to track idle time at login or something of the sort [06:05] Meowpup: http://www.thelinuxlink.net/l4c/programs.html [06:06] deadABuser: its already mounted so you can browse to it probably [06:06] Thanks guys/girls/fellow ubuntu people :) [06:06] Dravekx: ok, how did you mount it? [06:06] Dravekx: nvm u have a solution i guess [06:06] Billiard, I used mount [06:06] erikk71usa, why do you say it can't be fixed? [06:06] but I tried unmount, and it said "bad command" [06:07] umount? [06:07] Dravekx: its umount, yeah you should unmount them before you pull it out [06:07] Billiard: no. its unmounted. Nautilus asks for pas, then go into K3B and it doesn't [06:07] cool, thanks :) [06:07] Same with unmounting. [06:08] for newbies it cant [06:08] there is a grace period when you type in your password it wont ask again for 10 minutes or something [06:08] deadABuser: ^^ [06:08] thanks legend2440 [06:08] Meowpup: your welcome [06:09] no. its not that I'm sure of it [06:09] deadABuser: do you have to type a pass to start k3b? === Guest8882 is now known as meff [06:09] for a newbie that issue they cant fix [06:09] Billiard: no [06:09] erikk71usa, not to oversimplify the issue, but using that logic *nothing* works for newbies then, if it's at all different than what they did before. This link may or may not help, but I suggest you try it, as it may fix your issue http://www.insidesocal.com/click/2009/11/are-your-graphics-dead-in-ubun.html That's why we have places like this, so the newbies can get help fixing issues they wouldn't normally know how to.

[06:15] ZaNeIuM: i think its already on the live cd by default [06:15] ZaNeIuM, it should already be on live cd. system > administration > partition editor [06:16] ZaNeIuM, open a terminal, apt-get install gparted, unless it's already in system-> administration -> partition editor [06:16] python_root, I installed thing while in livecd , Just lose it after reboot [06:16] if i wanteted softwares from live cd to my system how od i [06:16] anyone getting real digital dts 5.1 audio from a dvd, through totem?

[06:18] Dravekx: scp can copy files across ssh [06:18] that too [06:19] Nautilus, filezilla can move directories? === Guest39865 is now known as meff === meff is now known as Guest93343 [06:19] Dravekx: oh, not sure, maybe it'd make a copy out of it [06:20] just a secure ftp [06:20] anyone here familiar with gksu and bash scripting?

[06:22] does any one know how to install flash player for ubuntu [06:22] gksu -i does nothing [06:22] Billiard: Are you familiar enough with the process to help me? [06:22] ubuntu is very laggy while playing moves that stream and also gnome irc has trouble accedpting files [06:22] dno: which process? [06:22] !flash | mikey [06:22] mikey: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:22] billybigrigger: run it in a terminal, it does absolutely nothing? [06:22] Grunge: are you using a router? [06:23] Billiard, when i run gksu -i 'command' it pops open the gksu dialog window with a run dialog [06:23] of course [06:23] Grunge: that explains it [06:23] lol seriously? [06:23] Grunge: DCC is tricky to use behind a router or anything else that uses NAT [06:23] Billiard, and it still complains about the -c option [06:23] billybigrigger: ok gksu -i is different from sudo -i i guess [06:23] which is clearly after the stunnel command [06:23] i don't get it [06:23] windows didn't give me these problems before [06:23] show me the command you used [06:23] with -i [06:24] Grunge: you could try setting the client to use specific ports for DCC and open those ports in your router [06:24] Usage: gksu [-u ] [options] [06:24] does anyone use empathy, they tout that it is better than pidgin because it can do audio and video but the option is always greyed out for me [06:24] Grunge: if the sender is using a router, that may also cause issues [06:24] do i HAVE to specify a user? [06:24] all my ports are open [06:24] billybigrigger: no [06:24] billybigrigger: no [06:24] didn't think so === Guest93343 is now known as meff [06:24] billybigrigger: it's in square brackets, so it is optional [06:24] the []'s mean optional [06:24] billybigrigger: show me the command you use with gksu -i [06:24] Billiard: udo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.184/wbackup /media/wnetgear -o username=xxx,password=xxxx,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 [06:24] dno: whats the error? [06:24] gksu -i stunnel -c -d nntp -r ssl-us.astraweb.com:443 && echo success || echo fail [06:24] it doesn't give me an option it just says someone is trying to send a file === meff is now known as Guest71626 [06:25] doesn't allow me to accept swith this client [06:25] billybigrigger: i said put it in single quotes [06:25] anybody knows how to get logitech wireless dj work on ubuntu? [06:25] Billiard:mount error(13): Permission denied [06:25] Grunge: try using a different client, like xchat [06:25] Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) [06:25] success is printed on the screen, but i still get the garbage text complaining about -c [06:25] dno: use sudo mount [06:25] Billiard:sorry I just didn't paste it. [06:25] Billiard, putting the command in single quotes opens the gksu run dialog window [06:25] i am using xchat [06:26] billybigrigger: show me what you typed [06:26] gksu -i 'stunnel -c -d nntp -r ssl-us.astraweb.com:443 && echo success || echo fail' [06:26] i can send files but i can't recive them [06:26] dno: shouldnt matter but try mount.cifs instead of mount -t cifs [06:26] so if the stunnel command exits with status 0 (clean exit) then it prints success, else it will print fail [06:26] what command MOVES a directory and all its sub content? MV? [06:26] Hi, I am trying to get to the grub menu. It straightaway goes through to the ubuntu system [06:26] how can i do that?

[06:30] schwezzy, I dont think theres an easy way around that... the developers have made it that way because they want to make good on their promise on faster bootup for 9.10 [06:30] it keeps giving me the error " cp:omitting directory" [06:30] mikey is a troll - he pulls this stunt every so often; plays a clueless noob. Just ignore him. [06:30] Grunge: ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [06:30] Dravekx: cp -r [06:30] Dravekx: not just cp [06:30] oh ok :) [06:30] Lust: I don't see how the login screen has anything to do with boot time [06:31] vlc needs a lot of settings tweaking, is there something that will do it like rhythmbox just click share music but movies instead [06:31] Billiard: Any thoughts? [06:31] dno: try it in a terminal [06:31] schwezzy: give me a sec [06:31] ok, thanks [06:31] i am not a troll what the hell r you tlking botu [06:31] Heck if I can get on the WEP network with ubuntu using USB WN121T [06:31] about [06:31] Im working with Apache2 restarting it.

[06:51] o i c i get it [06:51] does anybody know of a website that allows you to post text (e.g. debugging text) and then refer people to an address so they can see what you've posted -- i used to have one of these sites, but i forget it now [06:51] coolchris, LMFAO [06:51] !pastebin | underdog7 [06:52] underdog7: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [06:52] underdog7: pastebin.com [06:52] underdog7, pastebin [06:52] xangua: Yes I do, Also my friend can play the game on his account properly on my computer [06:52] Billiard, it doesn't show that option [06:52] heh [06:52] underdog7! wgetpaste [06:52] Repositories check (multiverse) and (universe) [06:52] what is so funny? i heard that linux is better then windows for hacking peoples boxes? [06:52] I had dual screen going and the second screen was a lcd tv to watch a movie with totem. After the movie stopped, my GF just disconnected the laptop from the screen. Now I can't connect them both without X just going black and frozen. Is there a state eg. foo.pid somewhere that was saved dirty that I need to remove to get the dual screen functional once again? [06:52] Grunge: please be more specific! which option [06:52] coolchris: you mean cracking, not hacking [06:52] schwezzy: u da man! [06:52] Grunge: did you open settings repositories ? [06:52] well if u want to call it cracking [06:52] so nobody knows whats the problem with the sound on ubuntu 9.10 ? [06:52] underdog7! You run a command and pipe the output to wgetpaste. It returns an internet address with the text information that you can give to others. [06:53] so i heard linux is very good for cracking is it true? anyone know any good commands to get started? [06:53] schwezzy: That tutorial is confusing, stop what you are doing and tell me what you are trying to accomplish [06:53] coolchris: srsly? [06:53] schwezzy: Are you trying to edit the login screen via the login screen manager? [06:53] yes i did Billiard [06:53] ardchoille: what I'm trying to accomplish is to remove the username from the login screen so a person will have to type in the username/pass [06:53] Grunge: ok on the ubuntu software tab [06:53] majuk: cool, thanks man!

If you figure out how to fix it, please let me know. [06:54] Grunge: search for "flashplugin" === meff is now known as Guest4498 [06:55] underdog7! My bad, the package is called pastebinit in aptitude [06:55] schwezzy: I assume you are looking to remove just a single username, yes? If you can make it work, that would also solve my problem [06:55] underdog7! I've used Gentoo too long. [06:55] i used to hack with back orifice back in the day im thinking about moving on to linux hacking programs now [06:55] hello [06:55] majuk: haha cool thx man [06:56] ardchoille: heh alright, thanks [06:56] i tried to upgrade to 9.10 from 9.04 but got this error: http://pastie.org/700639 [06:56] anybody know how to get over that hump ?

I can post more info upon request [06:57] cutout: you probably dont have to reinstall, you could repair the bootloader using a live cd [06:57] quizme: Try archive.ubuntu.com instead of archive.canonical.com [06:57] I got that [06:57] ubottu, grub | cutout [06:57] cutout: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10).

I mean as a cd or dvd image that can be used to boot to another system?..

[06:57] coolchris: 1. backorfice is not hacking 2. get real, your in a support chan with 1500 people and your asking about hacking... are you serious? [06:57] superpaco: in your irc program [06:57] hoo ok [06:57] sorry [06:57] schwezzy: I think I found something [06:57] jordan_u thanks, how do i change that ? /etc/apt/sources.list ?

[06:58] lstarnes, I did what the page said [06:58] zaoull: the cops can't find me cause the net is anonymous [06:58] now how do I know if it worked?? [06:58] HAHAHAHHA [06:58] schwezzy: As far as I know, that command will allow you to remove the user list. Doesn't quite accomplish what I want, since I'd like particular users to be excluded, which you can't do anymore [06:58] schwezzy: log back into your normal gnome desktop and open a terminal [06:58] oh man [06:59] that was the best [06:59] schwezzy: Though, i do assume you are on Karmic [06:59] im keeping that one [06:59] zaoul1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[07:01] coolchris: how's jersey? [07:01] aneesh1: I would look into www.partimage.org [07:01] hey Billiard thanks, but do i need to unistall the other shit i installed?

[07:03] kostkon: sorry http://pastie.org/700646 do you know how to unlock it ? [07:03] superpaco, if you're running karmic, you already have the b43 driver, you just need to install firmware.

I often need to reinstall the systems in our training lab . So i think it would be better to take a backup (bootable disk image) So that i can boot it in to other system and install it with all s/w . is it possible in dd? === Guest99627 is now known as meff [07:09] ardchoille: please note that I am in this channel twice now, because the other session is still active === meff is now known as Guest56059 [07:10] insm0d, [07:10] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpwskzpk1OY [07:10] insm0d, are have you run aircrack before on that wireless? [07:11] whats ubuntu moblin remix? [07:11] is it out yet? [07:11] aneesh1, dd will copy the entire hard drive contents bit for bit to a file. I think the syntax is: dd if=/dev/[harddrive] of=/path/to/file. To install the image back on the disk, reverse the if and of. You can do this from any linux distro that can detect your hard drives. Use a livecd like knoppix or even the ubuntu cd. [07:11] lstarnes i got an even better error now. http://pastie.org/700646 [07:11] ubuntu with moblin interface, no :S [07:12] if I have "apt-get remove x y z" and z is not found but x and y are, will x and y remove. or does the removal process abort?

[07:12] i tried recovery, but that didn't fix it [07:12] aneesh1: Looks like you are in a similar situation to me. I only recently automated that process, but I used to use partimage to make the backup and then manually put it back on each machine using a live CD [07:12] kostkon yeah i did [07:13] Boo. [07:13] quizme, or yeah, change your server in software sources [07:13] Aciid: it should continue [07:13] ok thanks [07:13] kostkon how do i do that ?

If you don't have internet access on the computer with the card, try finding the debian package of the linux-kernel headers used by the linux-wireless sources [07:14] insm0d: OK. Can i take incremental backup using dd? [07:14] kostkon I don't have that option... synaptic package manager ?

[07:14] quizme, you can access your software sources also in synaptic yeah [07:14] aneesh1, I don't think so. There might be a few other tools available that do offer incremental backup. === meff is now known as Guest12755 [07:15] insm0d, I do have internet but I do have a driver that does not allow a lot of applications [07:15] quizme, in the first tab, it will say "download from" [07:15] people when u got some problem believe on you...be patient you will solve it...ive being bored with upgrade to 9.10 ubuntu bug, now i am happy, solved it;-):-[:-D [07:15] so I need the b43 driver [07:15] jonz: I happen to write code for VICE and jsidplay2.

[07:15] get bored then install karmic :P [07:16] sorry aneesh1, I haven't bothered looking for anything else because dd satisfies my very basic needs [07:16] aneesh1: Are you looking to do automated backups? [07:16] there is no 'eject' in the context menu for my cd drives when there is a blank cd inserted and the eject button in nautilus does not work, any ideas? my drives' physical eject buttons seem to be disabled also, I have to resort to using the eject command [07:16] 9.04 [07:16] If so, I can kind of describe my setup for imaging [07:16] insm0d, 9.04 [07:16] insm0d: Yes. I would like to write a script for it. [07:16] uccadmin:Yes. I would like to write a script for it. [07:17] ardchoille: booted in to tty mode three times in a row now before finally loading the boot/login screen. I think there is something borked with gdm [07:17] aneesh1: This might be more complex than you are looking for, but depending on how many machines you need to image you could use clonezilla. How many machines are you working with? [07:17] night1ne: im like ghost, i enter secret places without be seen [07:17] alankila: what's VICE? [07:17] schwezzy: You might wanna file a bug [07:17] uccadmin: 10 to 20 [07:18] okay superpaco: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [07:19] Dreamweave [07:19] people when u got some problem believe on you...be patient you will solve it...ive being bored with upgrade to 9.10 ubuntu bug, now i am happy, solved it;-):-[:-D [07:19] Dreamweaver [07:19] superpaco, that will install the header files needed by the sources for linux-wireless [07:19] aneesh1: I see. And how often do you plan to re-image them? I have 6 machines that get re-imaged nightly [07:19] 里面有搞JAVA的吗？ === Guest12755 is now known as meff [07:19] 为什么compiz在新装的kde下没有效果？ === meff is now known as Guest79127 [07:20] superpaco, http://linuxwireless.org/ that site will have everything else you need to build and install the latest b43 driver and firmware [07:20] 我新装了个kde桌面，使用compiz无法开启效果阿 [07:20] 显卡没装好 [07:20] schwezzy` hey so hows it going with the login thing?

[07:22] aneesh1: In that case, Clonezilla (Basically open-source Norton Ghost) might be overkill. Last question, do all the machines use the same image? [07:22] superpaco, have you built a b43 module, or are you being guided in that process? [07:22] Kapace: check who [07:23] insm0d, that apt-get command that you gave me is not working [07:23] Kapace: terminal sessions count as separate logins [07:23] ah [07:23] Kapace: who and w can list sessions [07:23] lstarnes: how do i try a local mirror. can you send me your /etc/apt/sources.list file? I'll just copy and paste it in ? [07:23] ah [07:23] insm0d, I build that with the tutorial you gave me [07:23] superpaco, you need to be connected to the internet for that command to work [07:23] uccadmin: No. Every machine has different s/w [07:23] thanks lstarnes [07:23] quizme: it contains things that might not be valid for you [07:23] insm0d, iam connected now [07:23] quizme: you should just be able to edit your existing ones [07:23] insm0d, my card is working [07:23] insm0d, [07:24] lstarnes: can i show you my existing one ? [07:24] superpaco, I understand, you want to use the b43 driver instead of the wl driver [07:24] insm0d, it just do not has the right driver to get working several apps [07:24] quizme: yes === Guest79127 is now known as meff [07:24] how can i mount a pendrive? [07:24] quizme: if you have gnome, you can modify the default mirror via system > administration > software sources === meff is now known as Guest8885 [07:25] aneesh1: Ah, I see. Well in that case my method might not work. What I used to do was boot into a live CD, take the backup of the local HD using partimage and save it to a server, then restore using the live CD/partimage on each machine [07:25] insm0d, can you give me the comand again ir my uname -r is 2.6.28-16-generic [07:25] any testdisk gurus here? [07:25] Now I have a clonezilla server that does that all automatically [07:25] Sincere, run "sudo fdisk -l " find the drive name ex /dev/sda1 , then mount it "sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt" [07:25] superpaco, you have already tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? [07:25] lstarnes: http://pastie.org/700646 [07:26] I can't get my cd-burner to work. I'm getting an error with wodim. "Errno: 5 (Input/output error), write_g1 scsi sendcmd: no error" along with several other lines. I can post more info upon request [07:26] quizme: it looks valid [07:26] lstarnes: i don't have "software sources" option under "administration" [07:26] insm0d, no I am preatty new with linux [07:26] insm0d, then what?? [07:26] uccadmin: Oh! ok. Will it support incremental backup? [07:27] insm0d, [07:27] insm0d, but is activated [07:27] lstarnes, Flash files no longer have volume to it any suggestions on what i should re-install? [07:27] Grunge: I don't know [07:27] I have a quick question. I have two network cards, but for some reason, one hasn't come up. How do I "tickle" it into place? It happens to be my main pipe out, so I'd actually like it to come up. [07:27] aneesh1: The method I described was all manual. Clonezilla, on the other hand, can be automated and run incrementally (In my case, 4AM) [07:27] juego de boxeo online http://www.kobox.org/kobox-fande-Nourine.html [07:27] what error were you getting when you tried that apt-get command? [07:28] eth0, a 3C905, the module's probably loaded [07:28] Sincere, Ubuntu should do it automatically though [07:28] aneesh1: It requires a machine to act as the server and your clients must be able to do PXE [07:28] uccadmin: Ok. So i can backup and restore all my pc from a centralized clonezilla server. Right? [07:29] quizme: if you are upgrading, try commenting out all repos except the main ones for ubuntu (e.g. main, restricted, universe, and multiverse) === Guest8885 is now known as meff [07:29] lstarnes ok [07:29] quizme: I think the partner, backports, and proposed repos are also main ones [07:29] heh. It's up. [07:29] aneesh1: Yes, you can. Its somewhat of a pain to setup, but once you get it done it take quite a load off of the shoulders of the poor lab manager (Myself in my situation) === meff is now known as Guest32208 [07:30] aneesh1: Take a look at http://clonezilla.org/ to get started [07:30] Anyone have any ideas on how I should resolve a xorg that completely halts my system when it starts? using nvidia driver with a GTX280, display 1920x1200, and it starts up, screen blinks a couple times, is black, and completely halts. [07:30] Tried it with Vesa as well but same issue. [07:30] whew. Needed to rmmod the module, modprobe the module and bring the stupid thing back up again. sigh. [07:30] uccadmin: Ok. Thank you. [07:30] hi my fortune addons from here dont work. http://www.thelinuxlink.net/l4c/programs.html [07:30] superpaco, what error were you getting when you tried running the apt-get command? [07:30] Meowpup: how did you add them? [07:30] question to the room... I downloaded picasa 3.0 and i installed it with package installer, ...but no matter what i poke it with it wont open suggestions? furthermore if i cant get it to work how do i remove it? [07:31] like it says [07:31] it wont let me login as root [07:31] Meowpup: did you move the files for it into /usr/share/games/fortunes ? [07:31] i do su - [07:31] scottyg_: that is intentional [07:32] lstarnes: extract the files into /use/share/games /fortunes [07:32] scottyg_: use sudo -i instead [07:32] Silent_Echo, sudo apt-get delete picasa or whatever the package is called [07:32] and put in my password, but it says authentication failure [07:32] */usr/share/games/fortunes [07:32] sudo -i [07:32] good it worked [07:33] now will i be able to change permissions on files [07:33] I can't get my cd-burner to work. I'm getting an error with wodim. "Errno: 5 (Input/output error), write_g1 scsi sendcmd: no error" along with several other lines. I can post more info upon request [07:33] lstarnes: is busy i can wait [07:33] lstarnes: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/Release Unable to find expected entry partner/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) <--- is that serious ? [07:33] hey mikey [07:33] quizme: only if you have anything installed from the partner repos needing updating === mikey2 is now known as mikey [07:33] insm0d: dont kno "whatever the package is called" [07:34] will upgrading to koala cause any major breakage? [07:34] so my keyboard and mouse stopped working in karmic koala [07:34] quizme: you might want to report it to someone [07:34] and i'm not even sure how to fix it, since i cannot get into terminal [07:34] lstarnes: yes just like it tells me to i did that . and deleted the origional ones [07:34] ugh. [07:34] lstarnes like who ? [07:34] Meowpup: why did you delete the original ones === Guest32208 is now known as meff [07:34] not fortunes thoe i think thats the application file [07:34] quizme: maybe on launchpad [07:34] After last update the desktop is black, gnome panels show but not the standard windowmanager... I think. [07:34] What can I do? [07:35] lstarnes: i do not want standard fortunes just christian ones from http://www.thelinuxlink.net/l4c/programs.html === meff is now known as Guest32122 [07:35] Meowpup: I am aware of that link [07:35] Meowpup: what files do you have in /usr/share/games/fortunes now? [07:36] christians get a better class of fortune? [07:36] lstarnes: hold on imagebin them [07:36] Meowpup: don't imagebin [07:36] Meowpup: use ls [07:36] lstarnes: should i just install from disk ? [07:36] quizme: if it's the alternate cd, you can do an in-place upgrade through it [07:36] quizme: or disable the partner repos if you don't use packages from them [07:36] lstarnes ok [07:37] Nyha: hm. Ethernet up? [07:38] Viking667: yes ofc. [07:38] lstarnes: ls what [07:38] I just had a day of black screen, until I finally figured out my eth0 wasn't up. [07:38] Meowpup: ls /usr/share/games/fortunes ? [07:38] Didn't matter, until I needed network... [07:38] Viking667: Its metacity that wont start... [07:39] mrm. I hate when that happens [07:39] insm0d, I downloaded the bc43-cutter driver and I build the bc43 module so I just need to remove the wl driver for my card...how can I do that pal???

[07:40] heh this karmic upgrade is supposed to break things mid-update right? [07:40] Meowpup: rename them back and move them to a different directory or just delete them === napster is now known as Guest8755 [07:40] superpaco, add the wl driver to the blacklist. I can't remember how to do it off the bat, but google ubuntu module blacklisting. From now on, whenever you reboot, wl driver will not be loaded unless you specifically call it [07:41] is there a way to swtich from netbook remix view to classic view?

[08:06] not sure where to go from here when loading wl module [08:06] yeah sllide, and after a while getting abused also isn't "so bad" [08:06] I've found getting the basics to work on Windows to be quite a challenge. I think they both have some work to do, and the one you're more used to seems easier. [08:06] klpt, It had an issue with my /boot RAID1 which I came here to ask about fixing. [08:07] skinnYPuP: i tried 3 live disks. i remember once jaunty was released I installed it from the live mode. [08:07] can anyone tell me the command i would use to manually turn off a webcam ? [08:07] ryanc - what's up? i've had some luck getting my other distro to boot raid5 [08:07] Besogon: i never do upgrades. So cant really say ive had the issue. my NTFS partitions are being mounbted by uuid here. Thats all i can really say on the topic [08:07] la-homo-sen-koro: also, try to install some easy stuff not with synaptic and trying to compile stuff yourself [08:07] it helps alot [08:07] ryanc_, here's the dmesg in it's entirety. The outputs from burning are at the bottom along with the two commands I tried. http://pastebin.com/m722a5885 [08:07] Learning Linux Basics helps a lot. [08:07] klpt, It should work fine. I boot off raid1 [08:07] i am on hardy and am using lxde as a DE, how can i get compiz to run on startup everytime when i log into lxde? [08:08] sjd idk i've only been poking at karmic for a couple of days [08:08] # lspci | grep BCM4328 [08:08] 30:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03) [08:08] klpt, you have to have /boot on a raid1 i think [08:08] fuck [08:08] xgvictoriax: short answer - you dont. lxde is using openbox for its wondow manager. not compiz [08:08] wl: disagrees about version of symbol lib80211_get_crypto_ops [08:08] 'installation step failed' [08:08] probably installing the boot loader [08:08] Dr_Willis, if i get on a terminal and type compiz, compiz will start [08:08] no.... [08:08] Can anyone tell me how to get a bot for url submissions that works on UBUNTU [08:08] why is it that you carry on like linux is above criticism? [08:08] please someone help me out with this. Im not able to boot to the live mode. im stuck at the busybox thing. [08:08] Dr_Willis, which is what i need to get AWN working [08:09] if someone points out a fault, then they're noobs, impatient, etc etc? [08:09] xgvictoriax: You would have to make it start with lxde startup programs, how ever it does that. but it will likely load openbox first then get replaced by compiz [08:09] so how can i get it to start on startup [08:09] failed to find openssh-server, wtf? [08:09] xgvictoriax: and it replaces openbox then - So you could check the lxde docs and see how they handle session management/starup apps i guess and run that command. [08:09] People like you have turned linux into a cult [08:09] la-homo-sen-koro: perhaps you'd like to ask us a question about how to do and/or fix something. [08:09] You can't take criticism, and that's why linux will never improve or evolve [08:09] klpt, What is your current setup? === Guest45068 is now known as meff [08:09] zakwilson, already tried that [08:09] la-homo-sen-koro: or perhaps you'd like to report a bug at launchpad.net? [08:09] ryanc_: the way i had it set up was with a small /boot partition that would load initramfs and then mount / afterwards [08:09] la-homo-sen-koro: :) === meff is now known as Guest38884 [08:10] klpt, ubuntu will automaticly take care of everything in the initrd it generates [08:10] xgvictoriax: theres the #lubuntu channel also [08:10] facebook bot for ubuntu, Anyone have any Ideas? [08:10] People like who? :P [08:10] klpt, it is pretty painless. [08:10] please help. how do bypass the busybox prompt? I need it badly. I have karmic but not able to configure grub. [08:11] bypass busybox? [08:11] sjd: you may want to boot a live cd, chroot into the instlled system and try to repair grub that way [08:11] ¬@@·~½¬{[{]}\¸!"#$ [08:11] sorry [08:11] any know how to make ubuntu one sync? [08:11] Dr_Willis: i said Im not able to boot to the live mode. it gets stuck at a busybox thing. [08:11] snarkster: i find the UbuntuOne thing s little flakey at times. [08:12] ive noticed [08:12] sjd: your Live cd also stops at busybox? thats odd... [08:12] insm0d, try a different blank [08:12] insm0d, and also maybe update the drive firmware [08:12] Dr_Willis: my live cd does stop there. I tried three of them. they are jaunty live cd's. [08:12] ryanc_ it's happened with every disc. [08:12] all the same brand? [08:13] well im away from my home, hard drive dieing, would like to backup some pictures [08:13] I have came here for a low-priority issue. I tried guides and I thought I would do better with a one-on-one with one of the fine folks here who have done it already. I am trying to get xwinwrap to work and I desire not to mess around in terminal to make it work. So I have gwinwrap, which is a python file. I installed python3 and since it also mentioned Glade, I got glade. I try to execute the script and I get a GladeXML error when t [08:13] if alt-sysrq-r isn't working, does that mean the keyboard is not being registered at all? [08:13] I'm using xubuntu.. I can't seem to figure out how to disable tap-to-click on my trackpad [08:13] while upgrading to karmic, should i 'remove obsolete packages' ? [08:13] Also, yes I did get xscreensaver. [08:14] please help [08:14] ryanc_ I'll see what I can do with the firmware, but it doesn't look promising for me. Also I've tried several brands. All were cd-rw media and I haven't tried cd-r but my drive says cd-rw capable === Guest38884 is now known as meff [08:14] insm0d, how old is the drive? === meff is now known as Guest70558 [08:15] ubuntu is for noobs [08:15] Those *look* like hardware errors to me :| [08:15] does anyone have a suggestion what I should do? [08:15] I am sure I made somebody laugh tonight. But I am a total, absolute newb to Linux. [08:15] spyderfase, go troll somewhere else. [08:15] lift your head up high and blow your brains out [08:15] tiox, even if you choose not to remove them now, you will be able to do it later [08:16] squelch [08:16] ryanc_ I'm not entirely sure. Got this computer second-hand recently. I know the drive worked with a knoppix-usb boot. [08:16] Hey guys, I get a black screen when, I boot up gnome after updating to 9.10 from Jaunty. KDE works and, I just launch that from recovery root terminal. The GDM login screen also works but, when I login (even with a new user I added), I simply get a black screen but, windows do popup like the authentication of Ubuntu one. However, minimizing these, they fade into the distance. The panels, etc. of gnome aren't there. Can a [08:16] nyone help me? [08:16] there must be somethin wrong with al pacinos nose cos the scent of a womans like rotten tomatoes [08:16] please help out. [08:16] oops [08:16] insm0d: Ah. What brand is the drive? [08:16] none know why Im dropped to the busybox while booting from live? [08:16] I meant: kermit, even if you choose not to remove them now, you will be able to do it later [08:16] Yes, Ubuntu is for noobs. Which is why Windows users can come to grips with it real easy. :P [08:17] kostkon: oh ok [08:17] sjd, busybox from a live cd? are you sure the cd isn't bad? [08:17] windows is for worms [08:17] * tiox reminds himself to not feed the troll [08:17] ryanc_: yes, I tried 3 live disc sent me from Canonical. But sometime ago once Jaunty was released I was able to live boot. [08:18] sjd, if it's dropping you to busybox... what does it say before that? [08:18] * tiox walks to spyderfase and pounds a "DO NOT FEED THE TROLL" sign next to him as a service [08:18] ryanc_ Again, I'm not entirely sure, but all my software is saying it's TSST TS-L462D. My computer is a dell latitude d820 and checking the service tag on dell's website shows there is a firmware update dated 2008 for my drive. Unfortunately that means I'll have to install windows to install it :/ [08:18] tiox: Please just let it pass [08:19] ryanc_: it shows the splash screen, then blac screen, "loading please wait" and then Welcome to Busy Box 1. something with Initramfs> prompt [08:19] Hey guys, I get a black screen when, I boot up gnome after updating to 9.10 from Jaunty. KDE works and, I just launch that from recovery root terminal. The GDM login screen also works but, when I login (even with a new user I added), I simply get a black screen but, windows do popup like the authentication of Ubuntu one.

[08:20] sjd, if it's giving you an initramfs prompt then something is seriously wrong. [08:20] either your hardware or your boot cd is messed up [08:21] insm0d, would it be possible to run the installer under Wine in order to make it work? [08:21] Can anyone help me? [08:21] Hey guys, I get a black screen when, I boot up gnome after updating to 9.10 from Jaunty. KDE works and, I just launch that from recovery root terminal.

[08:22] fuckbuttu === pronoyc is now known as teabag [08:23] sjd, If it's failing, you need to see why somehow [08:23] try running dmesg from busybox [08:23] Hey guys, I get a black screen when, I boot up gnome after updating to 9.10 from Jaunty.

I tried running the bios update from an ultimate boot cd for windows and it refused to run. === meff is now known as Guest94290 [08:24] paddy_melon: as another trouble shootiung thing - you could start up a session with just a xterm, then try launching gnome-session, or other gnome parts and see if any are failing to work. That may narrow down the problem part of gnome [08:25] tiox, and if you aren't familiar with ultimate boot cd for windows, it's basically a complete windows installation on a disc [08:25] Dr_Willis... so no other ideas on getting it working [08:25] ??? [08:25] I'm really pissed [08:25] g'day ya all [08:26] Hey guys, I get a black screen when, I boot up gnome after updating to 9.10 from Jaunty.

However, minimizing these, they fade into the distance. The panels, etc. of gnome aren't there. Can a [08:26] nyone help me? [08:27] ryanc_, tiox, thanks for the help. I guess I'll resize my partitions and install windows for a sec to see if a firmware update helps [08:27] paddy_melon: you don't need to keep repeating [08:27] paddy_melon: you havent tried my trouble shooting tip yet.. so thats about all i can suggest [08:27] Ok, thanks guys [08:27] will try [08:27] paddy_melon: youve shown that gnome is the issue. not the user settings [08:27] Dr_willis... what gnome parts are there? [08:27] to anyone who might be reading the logs: the easiest way to disable tap-to-click in xubuntu is to install and run gsynaptics [08:27] paddy_melon: have you turnn off visual effects? [08:28] gnome-session launches them all. try it first. and look for error messages in the terminal [08:28] troopperi... I turned off compiz... what else should I try [08:28] nautilus handles the desktop and icons and file manager [08:28] c_wraith, you get a gold star, sir [08:28] troopperi... where's the config file for this?

The major feature of the computer is that it was a fileserver for my network, but I wanted more desktop accessibility with it. That means it has several hard drives stacked into a RAID5 + LVM storage array. Ubuntu picks right up on the RAID5, but not so much with the LVM. "pvscan" doesn't find any physical devices. I checked to make sure /dev/md? devices are being scanned in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf, and they are. Any idea [08:35] i've unchecked "dim display when idle" from power management options ("on AC power") and my screen still dims when i'm fullscreen (watching flash videos for example), why? [08:35] and how to prevent it [08:35] Dr_Willis: chroot? why, we used to repair it without that for older grub no [08:36] indus: thers no grub2 commands installed on the older releases for starters.....

[08:40] d9500: oh nice, that fixes atimes on xfs [08:40] yes [08:41] is there a way [08:41] kermit, just download the kernel and the headers deb file for your architecture (x86 or x64) then double click the deb for the kernel, run it, then double click the deb for the headers [08:41] mikey1: go to Applications -> Internet -> Remote Desktop Viewer (I think it is called that) [08:41] mikey1: local lan or over the internet?

[08:44] d9500: oh, but the headers want the kernel first.. [08:44] i fixed the problem thanks [08:44] gartral: though there isa bug with older amd s which shows temp as 40 always or 22 maybe [08:44] indus: lmsensors is failing me hard [08:44] nicle: that it won get upgraded in the future [08:45] d9500: they both seem to want each other to be installed first. hmm [08:45] gartral: i dont think anything elseexists [08:45] nobody knows how to figure out where pvscan is looking?

[08:46] ryanc_: yeah, vgscan doesn't have any physical volumes to look on, so it just returns immediately [08:46] gartral: grrrrrrrrr nice config :D [08:46] kermit, if you're running karmic, see if sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kernel-ppa works. then sudp aptitude update [08:47] jcdutton: i run pvscan and it doesn't find my raid5 based lvm array [08:47] then check synaptic for newer kernels.

[08:51] ripthejacker: no, but your isp will provide it [08:51] iirc [08:51] ripthejacker: ifconfig does that for a given connection [08:51] kermit, reboot if you haven't already, and you should be running the new kernel. you might you have check your grub.cfg (don't try editing it directly, just do sudo nano -w /boot/grub/grub.cfg to look at it) to make sure that 2.6.32 is the first kernel in the boot list now. [08:51] well i have to login and logout [08:51] klpt: hmm [08:51] to get that from isp [08:52] ripthejacker: maybe there are tools out there [08:52] and a lot of routers will integrate that over some interval of time [08:52] klpt: ifconfig gives only for current session [08:52] Hmm.. ive seen such tools/monitors befor ripthejacker but i dont know how well/acurate they are [08:52] indus: gkrellm-gui doesn't exist, and what were you talking about earlier, i couldnt make it out [08:52] gartral: just gkrellm [08:52] gartral: its a gui app [08:52] ripthejacker: yeah, i know. that's what i meant "for a given connection". I could've been more clear. i think your best bet would be to write a little script that logs that and integrates the usage [08:52] ripthejacker: and the data is proberly not kept logged. so if you want totals per month.. that maybe harder [08:52] klpt: even for ifconfig i see inaccurate results [08:53] indus: ohh yea, i replaced the stock cooler with an AC Freezer 7 [08:53] ripthejacker: what do you mean?

[09:23] How does one do it then? [09:23] There's a hacky approach to doing it, but as it is currently, shouldn't be recommended. [09:23] There may be another method, but if there is I do not know of it [09:23] dutchbuntu: That doesn't remove the depedencies?... [09:23] bcj: Short answer, you don't.

I will keep my irc client running so that I don't miss any private messages [09:51] suigeneris: format it from ubuntu and then re-insert [09:51] suigeneris: ive seen others and had similer issues. with Usb sticks not getting automounted _ i could mount them by hand however with 'sudo mount /dev/whatever /mnt' Never did figrue out why the issue is there [09:51] om26er, I can't format it, there's data [09:52] Hi! Need some help on orthos display manager. pme [09:52] Dr_Willis: maybe with the rights? are they in all the groups that are needed? HAL don't like you otherwise [09:52] Dr_Willis, it isn't assigned a device name either [09:52] eg sdb [09:52] Hello? [09:52] I'm getting a whole lot of these. [09:52] !hello | Zombie [09:52] Zombie: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [09:52] 1277.320112] ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen [09:52] [ 1277.320121] ata2.00: ST_FIRST: !(DRQ|ERR|DF) [09:53] Any idea what causes them? [09:53] Spixx: inmy case i could reboot/log out/in and it would auto mount them for about 4 min.. then it would stop. I thiunk it was a gnome service crashing. but i did a new clean install.. and the issue hasent reappeared.. (could of been some update fixed it also) [09:53] Can someone recommend me a lightwieght wm that is almost a de but also easy to modify? [09:53] i need help with jdbc derby, can some one help me ? === jonsol_ is now known as dirtyoldbastard [09:53] vagothcpp: blackbox, openbox? [09:53] vagothcpp: it depends a lot on what DE features you need [09:53] I tried many things, but could not boot to live mode. so not able to fix grub. any new suggestions? [09:54] vagothcpp: 'almost a de' - is a little.. vague. :) you could use rox-filer for your file manager/desktop icons. + some light wwindow manager. or pcmanfm for icons/filemanager [09:54] openbox is the solution ;) === Guest28499 is now known as meff [09:54] Ive notived that rox-filer 's pinboard feature seems broken in 9.10 :( [09:54] Spixx, I considered blackbox, have not heard of openbox, anything that is programmed in C/C++ is also great === meff is now known as Guest58415 [09:55] Hello, this is somewhat off topic, but: I did some SEO work for this company and I finished, they will pay me the rest of the money by check but I have a feeling they will do stop payment on the check. Is there some contract I can have them sign before hand so if they do bounce the check I have something to show the judge? [09:55] is it possible to start gpg-agent at start in Gnome? [09:55] any other ways to fix grub? [09:55] Dr_Willis, Well, GNOME is too heavy and is a DE, so not heavy in other words [09:55] vagothcpp: Openbox and windowmaker are my favorites [09:55] vagothcpp: all the light DE's out there are just a light window manager + pcmanfm or rox-filere for the most part. from what ive seen [09:56] vagothcpp: so try them out and see aht you like. You can roll your own [09:56] ardchoille, Know if Openbox is programmed in C/++ or do I have to go check =P [09:56] vagothcpp: it is [09:56] vagothcpp: no idea [09:56] Dr_Willis, Roll my own? That sounds like it would take months [09:56] vagothcpp: apt-cache show openbox might provide some details. [09:56] yousoboil1: try #ubuntu-offtopic [09:56] vagothcpp: err.. for a light de - you take one window manager.. and one file manager to handle the desktop icons.. done.. [09:57] vagothcpp: unless theres somthing else you need it to do... [09:57] gartral, i don't understand what i need to put after --binary-hook= for example, there's no explanation in there [09:57] Dr_Willis, can you recommend me a window manager that I can use to do that? [09:57] yousoboil1: also i believe, bouncing a cheque is an offence provided you are in the same country [09:57] vagothcpp: I don't think Dr_Willis meant roll-your-own as in code everything from scratch :P [09:57] vagothcpp: flip a coin.. theres a dozen + to choose from. [09:57] indus: I find scrunched-up cheques bounce better. [09:57] vag any of the XXXbox, flwm, jwm, icewm, [09:58] icedwater: yeah me too :) btw, what is scrunched up? [09:58] I'll need to do some more research it seems [09:58] For 'customisable' substitute 'barebones' [09:58] vagothcpp: yes you don :) [09:58] do :) [09:58] That's usually what it means :P [09:58] vagothcpp: I think what Dr_Willis meant was windowmaker for the wm and rox-filer for the file manager.. that's what I did and it works great [09:58] .last gartral [09:58] I am making a major shift to linux, Win32 API is shitting me too much [09:59] indus: when you make a paper ball out of it. [09:59] What's the word you'd use for that? [09:59] Yea windowmaker is neat in many ways. amazing how well it works dispite its age.. it has some quirks.. but its very useable [09:59] icedwater: :D [09:59] icedwater, A paper mess [09:59] Crushed? === Guest58415 is now known as meff [09:59] ya i got it thanks [09:59] funny === meff is now known as Guest7867 [09:59] :P [10:00] Hi, has anyone else had problems with gnome not automounting ipod after upgrade to karmic? [10:00] ah how well I will feel with Xubuntu [10:00] how do i turn off relatime? its set on ALL my mounts somehow [10:00] vagothcpp: one 'issue' will be the menus for all the ubuntu apps. You want to have total controll of the menus ? or You want it to automatically add all the ubuntu apps like you would find in gnome [10:00] finally I'll be able to run stuff at a decent speed [10:00] :) [10:00] on my old toshiba [10:00] Basically I don't need super heavy graphics, the less memory on my GPU/RAM the better, but still functional [10:00] fluxbox is also quite nice [10:00] vagothcpp: Most any of the window managers mentioned can handle that [10:00] vagothcpp: xfce? [10:00] Dr_Willis, Define total control [10:01] vagothcpp: if you dont put an entry in your menus.. its not there. :) total control [10:01] many light wm's do NOT auto-add all the gnome/ubuntu menu items [10:01] Dr_Willis, Organize it how I wish, and control whats in there, yes [10:01] uhm, I jus checked, I /join ##linux and i am in #ubuntu [10:02] untill you find that you spend more time editing your menus.. then you do working. :) [10:02] I'm actually going to be running debian [10:02] shame! :) [10:02] it really does seem on this Desktop of mine that Karmic is running very sluggish === Stine is now known as olski [10:03] is curl-php in the repo's? [10:03] Dr_Willis, Out of all the linux distros I have tried, save rolling my own from the GNU Kernel, Debian I am most comfortable with [10:03] zetheroo: type the system specs here [10:03] courpse: Have you checked? [10:03] i cant find write string. [10:03] !info php5-curl | courpse [10:03] courpse: php5-curl (source: php5): CURL module for php5. In component main, is optional. Version 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6.1 (karmic), package size 23 kB, installed size 116 kB [10:03] apt-cache search curl | grep php might help, I don't know. [10:03] ahh ta. [10:03] I do however love Ubuntu for rearranging my hdd's xD [10:03] vagothcpp: ive learned the basics.. so i can handle them all. :) ill stick with ubuntu for now. I dont have to fight with it near as much as many other disrtos [10:03] courpse: for the record, that was a s simple as 'apt-cache search php curl' [10:04] Ah that works too. [10:04] Dr_Willis: well said [10:04] om26er: I don't think its the system specs per se .. I have the feeling like something is messed up with the graphics side of things .. like the rendering or something ... in Jaunty it was a lot smoother [10:04] Dr_Willis, Well, atleast we all have a choice at what we want to run with linux, windows there is only one horrible choice === Guest7867 is now known as meff [10:04] zetheroo: nvidia? [10:04] what's thsi braseros shit [10:04] om26er: and I am not even using wobbly windows etc ... I left it on Normal .. yes Nvidia === meff is now known as Guest76555 [10:04] my system has all these applications I don't know a shit about [10:05] and I also don't give a shit about them [10:05] vagothcpp: you got choices in windows.. Win7-home-basic or win7-home-premium-ultra or win7-ultra-home-basic-premium-business [10:05] zetheroo: which driver version [10:05] qp_pq, relax [10:05] I don't think it's fair for my OS to have so many unshared secrets with me [10:05] om26er: don't know [10:05] I don't like [10:05] it [10:05] or win7-uber-ultra-spiffy-ultimate-basic-light- [10:05] Dr_Willis, Thats not really a choice [10:05] how can you find out which compiler was used to install your kernel? [10:05] :) [10:05] qp_pq, don't like what? [10:06] And I chose win7-ultimate if you must know, im still unhappy with it [10:06] qp_pq: doesn't windows do the same thing? [10:06] Vinceman: cat /proc/version [10:06] ? [10:06] will debian have so many stupid packages ? [10:06] ? [10:06] did I ask for fucking brasero ? [10:07] zetheroo: just tell me which nvidia card? [10:07] why the fuck do I get brasero [10:07] qp_pq: If you know enough, you can remove the packages you don't want. [10:07] !language | qp_pq [10:07] qp_pq: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [10:07] Like so: [10:07] any clue? [10:07] ciao [10:07] #pr1v3 [10:07] sudo apt-get remove language-en-vulgarity-#ubuntu [10:07] om26er: its onboard ... let me check [10:07] !troll [10:07] qp_pq: sudo apt-get install brasero [10:07] trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [10:07] ? [10:07] dangerx89: Please don't advertise that here. [10:07] ubottu: I'm just saying whoever decides what packages should go in default install should remove all these meaningless packages, why do yo I want brasero ?! [10:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:07] indus: sudo apt-get purge brasero [10:07] indus: remove maybe [10:08] om26er: 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2) [10:08] qp_pq: oh remove yeah apt-get purge [10:08] sudo dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/sda3 copies everything from partition sda2 to sda3 correct? [10:08] qp_pq: brasero is a CD/DVD burning app [10:08] sjd: It might help if you actually had a question to ask ... [10:08] vagothcpp: should do, yes. [10:08] qp_pq: sudo aptitude purge brasero [10:08] qp_pq: its for burning cds [10:08] yeah cool I don't need it [10:08] so remove it [10:08] qp_pq: why dont you need it? [10:08] I never heard of it [10:08] because I don't write friggin cds [10:09] v4l2 has been installed on my computer, how do I remove it? (it wasn't installed with synaptic) [10:09] Been scrolling up a bit and I didn't see a question, only two question marks and a 'any clue?' [10:09] qp_pq: many people do, and expect an app to be installed [10:09] MenZa, Okay, great, I am an organizational nut, Even the order of my HDD bugs me if its wrong [10:09] qp_pq: ok then remove it, the packages are determined from what a broader range of users will use [10:09] not me [10:09] how to check in realtime if a file was added in a specific folder? [10:09] qp_pq: it's not designed for you [10:09] * icedwater nods at tsimpson. === Guest76555 is now known as meff [10:09] vagothcpp: hehe [10:09] icedwater: i have been here for the past 3-4 hours. I need to fix my grub after installing windows. but im not able to boot into live mode. as Im stuck at some iniramfs prompt [10:09] qp_pq: it's designed for average users [10:09] aaah [10:09] xubuntu [10:09] qp_pq: But you can design it for yourself. [10:09] qp_pq: xubuntu may have it too [10:09] Ah, sjd. [10:09] qp_pq: even xubuntu has a CD/DVD burning app by default [10:09] MenZa, Like how windows deleted my GRUB partition and made it some system reserved crap, ILL SHOW THEM! [10:09] most OSs do [10:09] So you got past the grub screen? === meff is now known as Guest74102 [10:09] !pm | zetheroo [10:09] zetheroo: 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. [10:09] vagothcpp: Just, make sure neither of the filesystems are mounted. [10:10] Or you might get into a wee bit of trouble. [10:10] (Read: explosions and fire) [10:10] MenZa, Heh, yeh, did that once, lost all my personal data... [10:10] om26er: huh? [10:10] qp_pq, i haven't found a mainstream distro that doesn't have a cd burning app installed by default [10:10] sjd: Unfortunately I can't stay enough to help, but I just wanted to see that you had a question. :) [10:10] I gotta run for classes. [10:10] om26er: I never pm'ed you [10:10] icedwater: grub screen? I lost grub when i installed Windows. but I have upgraded Karmic on the other HDD [10:10] Can anyone help out sjd? [10:10] Whats the command to poll dd for its status? sudo kill -SIG_USR1 ? [10:10] sjd: Hm ... how is it you're getting an initramfs screen, though? [10:11] icedwater: God knows! [10:11] hi there! [10:11] is there no way to cleanly uninstall software which wasn't installed with synaptic? [10:11] I have to download a video from a videocast that is in iTune format .... what application can I use? [10:12] please I need to fix grub somehow. this is really important. please help [10:12] sjd: Maybe get a live CD, boot from that, and try grub-install on the correct partition? [10:12] ct529, what's itune format? quicktime? [10:12] icedwater: yes, i tried more than 3 live cd's. they are taking me to the initramfs prompt. === dan_ is now known as rao [10:12] sjd: Which live CDs? [10:13] icedwater: jaunty [10:13] sjd: I used to have similar problems trying to install jaunty, hardy and intrepid on my current laptop. [10:13] sjd: Try burning a karmic one, that should work fine. [10:13] icedwater: but Karmic wont help me to fix grub1 [10:13] ageeb: well, belss be if I know .... they say itune format .... I have never used itune in my whole life, do not even know what it is .... [10:13] How is it you're on IRC, though, sjd? [10:14] ageeb: I use amarok [10:14] sjd: That is a good point. Consider Parted-Magic, then. [10:14] icedwater: I can boot to windows. but I hate this really. === Guest74102 is now known as meff [10:14] sjd: I used that to tweak my partitions before. [10:14] icedwater: Parted-magic? [10:14] ct529, have you downloaded the file yet? [10:14] sjd: Though it's debatable whether that was the cause of my current partition table problem. :P === meff is now known as Guest10107 [10:15] icedwater: so what do you suggest ? [10:15] sjd: Yeah, I think it has some rescue functionality too, like Super Grub Disk. Though I didn't get very far with that, personally. [10:15] Vinceman, yes, but depending on how it was installed, the process can be fairly easy, or time-consuming. how did you install it? .deb file? build from source? [10:15] ageeb: nope, because the browser says "protocol not recognise" [10:16] icedwater: i had given a try with Super Grub disk. but that too got stuck somwhere. [10:16] ageeb: nope, because the browser says "protocol not recognised", sorry [10:16] sjd: I suppose get the USB image of parted magic, copy it to USB, follow the instructions in the readme to make it bootable (one command) [10:16] I am glad I installed a cat5 cable through my roof, my wireless card was bugging the shit out of me [10:16] icedwater: let me try [10:16] !language | vagothcpp [10:16] vagothcpp: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [10:16] sjd: Then boot Parted magic and go to a console [10:16] icedwater: hmm [10:16] bugging the s**t out of me ^ [10:16] ct529, can you pm me the link? [10:16] sjd: In the console, sudo chroot to the existing partition where grub is, then do a grub-install [10:17] sjd: That's what worked for my case, though it was a relatively simple error 17 with grub. [10:17] d9500 I don't remember exactly [10:17] Did you get any sort of error code? [10:17] sjd: You can search for the grub error code you got, too. [10:17] OH GOD, at 5MB/s this dd of 138GiB is going to take forever [10:17] icedwater: I simply lost the grub as I installed windows after ubuntu. [10:18] Apparently 15 and 17 are easy to resolve. Oh, it was eaten, huh. [10:18] icedwater: grub is not live, to give a code [10:18] icedwater: yeah [10:18] d9500 I installed it from here: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers [10:18] sjd: Well, this is a first: grub has been eaten by a grue. [10:18] Heh. [10:18] icedwater: this is obvious that when we install windows after Ubuntu, grub would be lost. [10:19] sjd: So try parted-magic -> USB-boot -> chroot -> grub-install /dev/sda0 or something. [10:19] ageeb: of course [10:19] icedwater: okay. [10:19] sjd: Yes, it is, you're right. But I haven't done that in a while now. === Guest10107 is now known as meff [10:19] icedwater: :) [10:19] !nick | meff [10:19] meff: Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with Freenode. === meff is now known as Guest17092 [10:19] this is probably a stupid question but i cant figure out how to play podcast on amarok, i can subscribe but dont know where to find them and can put them in a playlist but nothing happens when i do the double click [10:20] Vinceman, looks like it was built from source, so there won't be a listing that synaptic, aptitude, or dpkg can use. do you still have the tarball that the source came compressed in? [10:20] !register [10:20] Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname . Registration help available in #freenode [10:20] sjd: Also, /dev/sda or /dev/hda to install that to the main master boot records ... should work better than /dev/sda1 etc [10:20] I should leave now before it's too late .... :P [10:20] icedwater: okay. [10:20] hi everyone - I cannot redirect an audio stream using pulse to a different target with 9.10! Instead, i could do that with 9.04! Where has that option gone? [10:21] d9500 I can download it again from the site [10:21] d9500: in the future, it really is best to only install with synaptic, isn't it? [10:22] Hello, How do i restart OpenSSH? [10:22] Vinceman, yes or use a .deb file. packages installed from .deb files, i think, have to be installed using dpg from the command line, but it still beats trying to get rid of files installed from source. [10:22] kazoo: /etc/init.d/ssh restart [10:23] d9500: so if I know from what tarball I installed it, how do I uninstall? [10:23] Vinceman, the reason i asked about the tarball was that i didn't see any instructions to run ./configure prior to make to create a makefile. i'm assuming therefore there was a makefile in there, hopefully. [10:24] Vinceman, if there was, then download the tarball, extract to the same directory that you originally extracted to before compiling, cd to that directory in terminal, and run sudo make uninstall. === Guest17092 is now known as meff [10:24] d9500 ok, thx [10:24] my life was change when im install the first ubuntu on my desktop [10:24] :) [10:24] i love it === meff is now known as Guest38697 [10:25] is anyone having toruble wiht clonezilla in karmic? [10:25] scuse my typing [10:25] Jimi_Neutral: i never had problem in karmic [10:25] vince, it is stopping on a message saying let original init take over [10:26] Jimi_Neutral: i never use clonezilla [10:26] vince? [10:26] Vinceman, if that does not work, then the link you sent me lists what directory it installed the files to. back them up to somewhere else and them either use rm to remove the files, or open nautilus w/ root priveilges (gksudo nautilus) browse to the directory the files are in, and send them to the trash. [10:26] Dr_Willis, you around? === tomodaci1 is now known as tomodachi [10:26] i just upgraded to karmic, and rsyslogd is eating all the cpu for the first time [10:27] open nautilus w/ root priveliges* sorry for the typo [10:27] this is probably a stupid question but i cant figure out how to play podcast on amarok, i can subscribe but dont know where to find them and can put them in a playlist but nothing happens when i do the double click [10:27] whats the channel for french user who know ? [10:28] question for the supergurus out there .... how do you stream from an itune repository of videos in ubuntu? [10:28] !fr [10:28] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [10:28] thanks men :) === Guest38697 is now known as meff [10:29] /set gui_usermenu ON [10:31] Vinceman, for example, /lib/modules/[kernel version]/kernel/drivers/media directory. you will need to know the name of the .ko file you want to delete, and again, back up any files before you delete them in case you delete the wrong thing and need to restore it later. [10:32] <_ged> hi, is it possible to include an action on a shell script wherein on that action, it will send an email to someone... [10:32] i just found a post that says karmic fails with clonezilla because of karmics boot scripts....it says to try debian 5.0.3...is that a whole new system? [10:32] hello, how can one deactivate the desktop on the ubuntu remix? (very slow on my old laptop) [10:32] d9500 this whole operation is rather dangerous, isn't it? [10:33] I'm trying to re-re-re-brand Shiretoko. I can't remember the how to get to the user-agent strings via the browser. Does anyone know? [10:34] can i roll back to jaunty? [10:34] d9500 I can't undo all the commands on the webpage one by one.. but I can undo the first one I think [10:34] Vinceman, only if you delete the wrong thing. even then, if you made a backup, you can pop in a live cd, wait for it to boot up and get you to a gui, then mount the drive for your install (ubuntu live cd lets you mount in one click by clicking in xx GB hard disk" icon in "Places") and copy the deleted file/s back over. [10:35] When I was installing flash player, i get "Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'", what does this mean? [10:35] Vinceman, try download/extract tarball, cd to the extracted files directory, then sudo make uninstall first. it avoids having to manually delete files. Only do the manual delete if that does not work [10:36] vagothcpp: are you running a 64bit version? [10:36] Spixx, Indeed [10:36] then you need to use the 64bit version of the flash installer [10:36] if you got it from their site that is [10:37] how can i check whether my machine is 32 bit or 64bit? [10:37] d9500 does the tarball have to be in the same directory it was installed from? [10:37] Found it xD [10:37] check the version number? [10:37] command? [10:37] Sincere: depends on your CPU. What CPU do you have?

[10:42] Vinceman, if you plan on doing a lot of compiles from source, it might be a good idea to build a /src or /sourcecode directory inside your /home/yourusername directory, then extract all your tarballs there before building. i wish i'd thought of that back when i tried to build the nouveau driver for my nvidia card a few months back. [10:42] clonezilla hangs on "let original init take over" === _newbie4 is now known as ripthejacker [10:43] give me a couple lines before [10:43] Vinceman, you're talking about mercurial there. which unfortunately, i'm not familiar with. if it's anything like git, which uses git clone to obtain source files, then yes, i would presume it does [10:43] dell, ok one sec === timber_ is now known as timber [10:45] i need to know how to install programs on linux ubuntu?

[10:54] Vinceman, then maybe the makefile doesn't include a script to uninstall? i've had that happen with gnome-menu before, trying to remove it after a compile from source. looks like manual may be the only way to do it.

[11:13] dutchbuntu: yes, using the instructions on the UbuntuTime page [11:13] did you account for daylight savings [11:14] i think they should put .32 on the repos, make a huge difference for people who uses intel gma video card [11:14] schwezzy: how do I account for daylight savings? [11:14] noneNN: Suggest it in #ubuntu-motu, then. [11:14] nobody ? [11:14] eberry: go to the next timezone [11:14] eberry: typically, set your time zone correctly [11:14] and ubuntu calculate DST for you [11:14] schwezzy: that doesn't sound right [11:15] noneNN: .32 has not even been released by kernel.org is rc7 at the moment... === kiwifunk is now known as zz_kiwifunk [11:15] frogzoo: I think my timezone is set correctly [11:15] eberry: what's your TZ?

[11:15] MenZa: what version of Ubuntu are you running? [11:16] eberry: Karmic, 9.10. [11:16] noneNN, kernel upgrades can also break things. like binary drivers (ahem, nvidia comes to mind.) putting in repo would automatically install it when update-manager detected it as a newer version. i don't think the ubuntu maintainers wwant to have entire kernel upgrades with the potential to have to reload 1) binary modules that cannot be distributed in kernel, and 2) any manually compiled modules a user has made. [11:16] But it has been since 5.10 :) [11:16] MenZa: I just had this problem when I updated to Karmic (9.10) [11:16] eberry: Could your BIOS clock be screwing up stuff? [11:16] MenZa: How would I know? [11:17] eberry: Hm, could you outline the problem exactly, again? I didn't catch the first part. [11:17] restart your computer and follow the prompt to get to bios [11:17] I'll restate my problem [11:17] generally f2 or del [11:17] Excellent.

[11:18] for regular users i think, it would make a big difference, i dont do that stuff i mean modules?... kernel 2.6.32 is a nice upgrade [11:18] qp_pq: happy gentoo-ing then [11:18] by the time i got my gentoo box updated.. new updates were out... [11:19] noneNN, if you just need newer intel gma video card drivers, there's probably a ppa for that [11:19] dutchbuntu: :P [11:19] Hey all, stupid question, but I find myself having to install SDL dev libs a lot on random computers and during reinstalls, and I was wondering if there was a way to install all of them simutaneously. I really dislike having to apt-cache SDL and pick out the dev libs all the time... [11:19] I have just updated from Jaunty to Karmic. Now the clock in my GNOME applet reads one hour earlier than it should. I am in Central European time, and the time here is 12:18, but the time in the applet reads 11:18. Furthermore, when I type "sudo hwclock --show" in the command line, it returns a time that is too early by one hour. If I type "sudo hwclock --utc" it returns the correct time. [11:19] noneNN: stop that; we've told you that that won't happen. And here none has the power to change that so take the "petition" to launchpad or another channel [11:19] GIR7590: apt-get supports wildcards I recall.. :) or make a script that installs teh ones you need. [11:19] d9500, im using xorg edgers, but the difference came with kernel 2.6.32 [11:19] GIR7590: scp to all , ssh to all aptitude install , or make some Perl script using Expect.pm to automate the install [11:19] i tell you, its HUGE difference [11:20] eberry: Humm, sounds weird.

I'm just stumbling in the dark here, but hey, it's worth a shot. [11:23] kleftisx: a swap partition is normally needed also yes [11:23] it's what I synchronise with. [11:23] MenZa: I've made the change. How do I get the clock to sync? [11:24] eberry: Good question. [11:24] eberry: Out of curiosity, have you set any Locations in the clock applet?

[11:26] I can't say I've ever seen this issue before - it seems weird. Could you check your BIOS clock? I.e. restart your computer, then follow the prompt to load your BIOS (normally del, F2, or F12) [11:26] Because that might be conflicting [11:26] MenZa: But (further strangeness), it reads "GMT (new line) 10:26 GMT -1" [11:26] O_O [11:26] Yes, that is *very* weird. [11:27] anyone here use secondlife in 64bit ubuntu? [11:27] MenZa: Is there a way to get my bios time without restarting? It's a bit of a pain... [11:27] eberry: Alas, no.

[11:49] zetheroo: saw my blog ? [11:49] muep__, http://ati.amd.com/products/server/compare.html says it's a server gpu, and judging from the left to right chronological order, i'd say probably a newer one [11:50] python_root: yes :) you a puppy linux user? [11:50] but not high performance or new [11:50] zetheroo: it's from 2006 [11:50] in comparison to their desktop radeon cards.

Has anyone had much luck getting wine to work with games in the 64bit install of Karmic? [11:54] muep__ fglrx mean Graphics library support (version) [11:54] karix: works for me [11:54] karix, works for me [11:55] muep__, sassyn: In addition, that card does not do 3D, so there would be little benefit in using fglrx. [11:55] sassyn: fglrx is the non-free graphics driver from AMD/Ati [11:55] !wfm [11:55] zetheroo: i agree [11:55] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.

[12:00] khunt, I installed Hardy rather than Karmic only because I had the *.iso lying around. :) I will have a look at Karmic later.

[12:29] evap, ask in #slackware [12:29] blackshell: your windows install CD [12:29] whoops [12:29] ikonia, that's what I thought but I've seen this same issue elsewhere on the net with karmic and xen [12:29] which ubuntu server version support intel xeon x3220 processor .

[12:30] I disagree they are fairly stupid in ##windows [12:30] ikonia, yeah, I can't remember the exact error, but it couldn't mount /proc and just plain wouldn't boot at all [12:30] they just debate what OS is better all day [12:30] Mmmm, screen's all getting dodgey [12:30] smwn: enough - this is ubuntu support - keep with that topic [12:31] wie kann ich nach channeln suchen`?

As a side issue I suggest you edit your ntp.conf to include three time servers 0.ch.pool.ntp.org, 1.ch.pool.ntp.org and 2.ch.pool.ntp.org That way your ntp time will be more reliable (in case one of the servers fail) and you are getting time from a more local source so there will be less jitter.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [13:11] JonathanEllis: Do you know how to get it to sync? [13:11] eberry: then I think JonathanEllis has it [13:11] eberry: you need to sync by hand because ntp doesn't like to make big changes to your clock [13:11] JonathanEllis: Also, I can't see the manual setting you're talking about in Time & Date [13:11] dutchbuntu, iam unable to open grub prompt ?? what is the command to open grub2 prompt [13:11] awere hdo is ur address [13:11] eberry: Er. I have done a lot of work with ntp but it was some years ago so bear with me if my memory is slow [13:11] !grub2 | vermapratyush_ [13:11] vermapratyush_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

Any expertise is greatly appreciated. [13:12] dutchbuntu, is not working [13:12] and the date [13:12] then switch back and let NTP do the rest [13:12] vermapratyush_: what is not working? the link works here. [13:12] eberry: Set the configuration to manual and then input the time manually. Once you have it approximately right, switch back [13:13] dutchbuntu, when i type "grub2" in shell it does not open the grub prompt [13:13] i have xubuntu and im trying to share some files over my home network. other computers are using windows. it did work before but yesterday i made an update of samba so its not working anymore [13:13] eberry: I am just going to setup ntp on my machine now as I did a fresh install not long ago [13:13] vermapratyush_, what are you trying to do [13:13] vermapratyush_: follow this link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [13:14] vermapratyush_: chapter 7 should help you [13:14] eberry: btw, thanks for raising this, turned out mine used to be set to "manual", glad to hav fixed it [13:14] JonathanEllis & ciphergoth: I can't get the changes to commit in "manual" mode [13:14] eberry: What did you set the time to in manual mode?

[13:17] mac_v: hello. do you know much about macbooks ?? [13:17] eberry: I would use a different NTP server if I were you (ntp.ubuntu.com for example). Seems like something is wrong with Swiss NTP server... [13:18] eberry: OK, try from the command line [13:18] eberry: No OK button on mine. It changes immediately if you look at your clock [13:18] duchbuntu: what's the address of the faulty one? [13:18] ralchev: can you post the output of command lspci -v?

[13:19] genti: samba [13:19] thanks ActionParsnip1 [13:19] eberry: dutchbuntu: The pool servers are random servers - you get a different one each time. That minimizes load on individual servers by distributing users randomly across servers [13:19] !welcome < chu__ [13:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about welcome < chu__ [13:20] chu__: other way dude [13:20] !walcome [13:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about walcome [13:20] eberry: The reason for having three servers is then ntp can see if one of them breaks because two will still agree [13:20] JonathanEllis: okay, I didn't know that. Thanx 4 sharing :-) [13:20] jongbergs, http://paste.ubuntu.com/320000/ === k is now known as Guest8443 === Trystam is now known as Tristam [13:20] mac_v: lol :P maybe.. my macbook is not powering off when i shutdown.. :S think it's a driver problem :P damn [13:20] !welcome chu__ [13:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about welcome chu__ [13:20] !welcome > chu__ [13:20] How can I get hibernation to work?

[13:21] genti: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [13:21] ralchev: ok examining.. [13:21] This changed the system time [13:21] eberry: As soon as I change the time manually it updates after a few seconds in the clock in the panel at the top of the screen. I dont have to press a button to make it happen [13:21] is nickserv down? [13:21] * Soyo has no dns service :( man interfaces does not seem to say how to add a dns entry [13:21] ActionParsnip1, after I reboot that shouldn't be needed, right? I have an entry in fstab. [13:21] But I still have too great a clock skew to get a kerberos ticket (what I'm trying to do in the first place) [13:21] Soyo: add the nameserver lines in /etc/resolv.conf [13:21] ActionParsnip1: hi ... hmm , know have you heard about conky not displaying in gnome3? or something of the sort [13:21] ActionParsnip1, really, I think it is just broken. [13:21] ralchev, it seems to be new hardware. w8, i would like to recommend you to install something [13:21] mac_v: i use neither, sorry [13:21] eberry: If you bear with me, I will set my time to swiss time along with you. Can you do the same things as I do them and let me know the outcome?

[13:22] eberry: Its difficult to follow when several people are helping at once [13:22] Soyo: you can even run a local dns to speed up web access [13:22] hey thank u very much [13:22] JonathanEllis: Ready when you are [13:22] it worked [13:22] genti: looks like it wasnt started or got stuck === Guest26728 is now known as meff [13:22] ***Soyo : sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf [13:22] python_root: gksudo gedit ;) [13:22] eberry: Time zone is set to zurich?

If there is something we discover we will post it in the main room [13:23] ActionParsnip1: I did a restart of samba and it worked. thank you [13:24] JonathanEllis: Fine by me [13:24] ActionParsnip1: whats the difference [13:24] python_root: in most cases its necessary so starting right will save issues later [13:24] !gksudo | python_root [13:24] python_root: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [13:24] I want to reinstall my system (from 8.10 to 9.10). My system contains a 3 disk LVM for storage and a separate disk for the system and home. What steps to I need to take to gain access to my LVM after installing without losing data? [13:24] Does running my own dns require having a large amount of space though? [13:24] python_root: if you don't know the difference, how can you say its "not necessary"? [13:24] ralchev: from the output it seems that no sound drivers has been loaded , you may follow kostkon's suggestion [13:24] Soyo: no, its very small [13:24] Soyo : not at al [13:25] Soyo: means name to ip resolution will take 0ms, multiply that by all the times you use DNS and its quite a saving [13:25] jongbergs, ok ill do it right now, yes ubuntu doesnt show hardware devices in System > preferences > sound [13:25] Sounds like it!

[13:26] JediMaster: ooh, that's interesting [13:26] hi. could someone please give me some good documentation on how to install LAMP on ubuntu 9.10? ty [13:26] Soyo: you will need web based DNS too to get the IPs so your local dNS can learn [13:26] hello, i have just installed Ubuntu 9.10 (64bit), i have log on and update using recommended updates. After i restart the system...ubuntu seems to load (ubuntu icon) and just a black screen with the keyboard not working or mouse. just black screen. any ideas what caused that problem?

Can't view other computers (windows machines) neither print through network [13:26] ikonia, any ideas what it means? =) isn't the domU the host server (rather than the VM?) [13:26] jongbergs, ok , if this doesnt work [13:26] im rebooting [13:26] JediMaster: correct [13:26] dAnon1: can you ping names or IPs of the other systems?

[13:29] JediMaster: I have seen something similar a long time ago on ubuntu 6.06 hosts thinking about it, where the people supplying the xen host where not using %100 official ubuntu images, so when they upgraded the stock ubuntu install caused pain [13:29] I edited some files and added my name and workgroup nothing happens [13:29] Soyo: it's a flat file, /etc/resolv.conf [13:29] oh ok [13:29] Soyo: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart === Guest34502 is now known as rubenzori [13:30] ikonia, my problem is there's 30 computers here, and i'm logged into 2 of them... i wanted to know if there was an easy way of seeing the ip address or hostname of the computers i'm logged into [13:30] ActionParsnip1 neither does changing working stuff from 9.04 for not working in 9.10 [13:30] areay: not through nis, no [13:30] ikonia, yeah they've had a few minor changes, but it's upgraded 8.04->8.10->9.04 fine [13:30] how not to get angry [13:30] Soyo : restart ur network [13:30] JediMaster: doesn't mean it will go all the way [13:30] jongbergs, kostkon , thanks for the help! this package worked ;) [13:30] dAnon1: you know this is ubuntu support, please stick tot hat topic [13:30] Soyo: add these lines to the file: nameserver 208.67.222.222 and nameserver 208.67.220.220 [13:30] ralchev, ;) [13:30] JediMaster: that's the only similar thing I can think of [13:30] !test [13:30] dutchbuntu: ty. one more thing: would be better to install them on by one, or the whole package at once?

[14:17] ZaNeIuM: check in menu.lst in /boot/grub [14:17] kleftisx: try adding vag=792 in the boot option [14:17] hi people === Guest9560 is now known as meff [14:17] kleftisx: sorry, try adding vga=792 in the boot option [14:17] ASmith42: yo === Davidoff38 is now known as NetForces [14:17] jongbergs : what is the vga=792 option? and how can i add it in the boot options? [14:18] duergar: The shared partition can be ntfs if you like. Or you can use ext2 and add the ext driver to windows === meff is now known as Guest88415 [14:18] duergar: Before you do that, though, try virtualbox [14:18] I'm trying to modify the grub list. Everything I look at tells me to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, but in Karmic menu.lst isn't there. [14:18] I need help! Ubuntu 9.10 will not boot. It is some sort of video problem. I tried the Alternate Install CD -- is there some sort of video safemode I can use? AMD Athlon X2 64 processor, nvidia 6150se nforce 430 video card. [14:18] karmic doesnt seem to detect my vostro 1310's wifi card. been googling about it but people don't seem to have a prob with it. is this a unique case? it's a BCM4312 [14:18] is virtualbox free, and i only have 512 ram.. will that be enough? [14:18] Can anyone take a doubt? [14:19] duergar: hmm, It will "work" <- notice the "" :P [14:19] lol. i'll just dual boot it then. thanks for the info [14:19] mikeg3: what type of errors do you get? [14:19] mikeg3: did you MD5 test the ISOs you downloaded? Did you run the CD tester? [14:19] duergar: np, it is simpler with virtualbox though :D [14:19] i cant put dual boot [14:19] kleftisx: at the grub2 menu, select the first default linux image press 'e' then go the end the line and append vga=792, press escape key the hit enter [14:19] notification is looking weired plz take a look anybody: http://imagebin.org/71867 [14:20] [14:20] it starts directly with linux [14:20] om26er: what is "wrong"? [14:20] Spixx: plz see the image [14:20] the orange lines? [14:20] Spixx: yes [14:20] yes and yes to md5 checking...just switches video modes endlessly...I can d/l the restricted nvidia driver if I ever could get to that point [14:20] ahh, is it only that field or more then? [14:20] that's not part of the art? === Julia is now known as Guest71801 [14:21] Spixx: every notification === paulo_ is now known as paulorasilva [14:21] monitor is old dell 1702fp [14:21] ohh, wierd :P [14:21] maybe got something todo with graphics do you have the drivers installed correctly? [14:21] duergar: Yes virtualbox is free. 512MB is not much RAM and virtualbox needs to have RAM dedicated to it which will slow down everything else while its running. But you could try installing it and see how it goes. Its less drastic than resizing partitions and then installing windows. Trouble with installing windows AFTER ubuntu is that the windows installer will overwrite your master boot record and then you wont be able to boot ubuntu at all until [14:22] Spixx: intel drivers are fine i think [14:22] im on gnome-look but I don't know which link to click that will take me to a list of themes that are compatible with my system [14:22] jongbergs : ok. i am restarting to try it. thanks [14:22] Ok, maybe you will have more luck if you shut of all "graphical" stuff === Guest88415 is now known as meff [14:22] i cant put dual boot [14:22] Spixx: compiz?

You rock! [14:25] :P [14:25] Snausages: you used to be able to do it in gconf with metacity. If you are using compiz, maybe ask #compiz [14:25] Snausages: define "windows controls" do you mean like a mac has close, minimise etc on the left?

In the laptop conf file I set the HD_powersave to 127, 128 -> 254 will enabled powersaving but I need this [14:28] anybody there [14:29] I've read the article on partitioning but it still doesn't answer my question. [14:29] the thing is i dont know if it actually possible to do the following: [14:29] a have a single HDD with 3 partitions on it showing as [14:29] 8 GB - hidden Partition (vista restore probably) ......ntsf [14:29] 73GB- C: with vista , programs and other on it........ntsf [14:29] 70GB- D: with movies and photos and other ........ntsf [14:29] pongo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[14:30] boas [14:30] I installed phpmyadmin with apt-get [14:30] alguem me pode dar uma dica [14:30] but in dell website there's only windows 7. Did anyone heard that too? [14:30] ?? [14:30] ActionParsnip1: interesting... I wasn't looking to go all the way to lifted apple widgets & artwork, but it's nice to put the controls in the same places... the one that I'm dying to do is a split dvorak/qwerty keyboard... i found a howto but it didn't work.

[14:33] I am trying to share a folder with another ubuntu machine. When I right click on the folder in nautilus and click sharing options it only gives me the option of using Windows network file sharing (Samba). What happend to nfs? I am running Hardy === meff is now known as Guest77861 [14:33] why wound noone help, even speak with me?? [14:33] jongbergs : i try adding vga=792 in the boot menu. but again the same i get black screen again [14:33] lilyshu: I'm not sure where you're directing me, haven't got anything like that on my machine [14:33] Hi @all, I want to use Gnome Network Manager for 3G WWAN and VPN but keep using ifup/ifdown and wpa_supplicant for wlan. Is this possible? [14:33] !patience |pongo [14:33] pongo: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [14:34] !failsafe [14:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about failsafe [14:34] !nfs [14:34] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [14:34] pongo: ask your question [14:34] JonathanEllis: ^ [14:34] I'm using gedit to edit some CSS files and when I open a bracket it doesn't automatically create the closing bracket, so I can just hit enter and get autoindent. It used to work before, what am I missing? [14:34] ActionParsnip1: Thanks. Can you just confirm nfs is a better way to go than Samba? [14:34] kwinz, i dont think so, i think network-manager will keep disturbing your connect. You better try gnome-ppp/wvdial for 3G [14:34] !pm | pongo [14:34] pongo: 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. [14:34] kleftisx: but if you boot into live cd would you encounter the same problem? === bintang_ is now known as hamster [14:35] JonathanEllis: not sure if you got an answer to this one, but: if you don't want to use Samba or NFS, have you considered sshfs? [14:35] Pongo is trying to do something with multiple partitions if I remember correctly [14:35] JonathanEllis: neither is better, nor worse. They both have advantages and disadvantages [14:36] jongbergs : u mean just to run from live cd? i dont think that i will encounter the same problem. Because when i istalled ubuntu it was everything normaly. after enabling the restricted devices and making the recomended updates. When i reboot i got black screen === baytes-vm|sleep is now known as baytes-vm|work [14:36] ciphergoth: Im not sure what to use, but I read somewhere that nfs is faster than samba and I am not using windows so installing something for windows seems unnecessary (objectionable even!) [14:36] /j hqj [14:37] ActionParsnip1: Is there a guide where I can read the pros and cons of each to help me choose? I thought nfs was the default unix method so thats why I thought of using it [14:37] JonathanEllis: Not suggesting samba but sshfs [14:37] JonathanEllis: samba works nice and fast here, i think you should read up on both and compare to your requirements [14:37] is there anyway to filter all these connection notification, i can hardly read the text what is going on === Guest77861 is now known as meff [14:37] ActionParsnip1: Except Samba is a little hard with Unix filesystem things (permissions, ACLs, etc) [14:38] markbaas: if you hide the join/part messages it will be less [14:38] pongo: you will need to resize D: and then format the 15GB to ext3 using !Gparted then during the install select the advanced setting and select the 15GB partition as / [14:38] ciphergoth: So that gives me a third choice! Sheesh! What do you think of sshfs? [14:38] Where can I get instructions on using the failsafe video driver in ubuntu 9.10, please? I am rapidly getting lost in details. === meff is now known as Guest80127 [14:38] kleftisx: ok, even though you get into black screen, do you think the boot process continues? [14:38] JonathanEllis: it's not the fastest but it's convenient and secure [14:38] grawity: true but if default file access is ok for new files then its fine [14:38] yes i would like to install ubuntu on my D: parttition where i have 15 Gb free , i also have a C: partition with vista and a hidden partition on my sigle HDD.........i want to be able to dual boot with vista [14:38] hello [14:38] because you don't have to do any configuration on the server besides enabling ssh which you've probably done anyway [14:39] JonathanEllis: i use sshfs to mount a /movie directory to my media server. simple and easy and is fast enough to stream movies with. [14:39] I have a little bit of a problem. :/ Some kid came home and wanted me to put a game in his USB stick. The game was on my windows side. I booted into windows. I tried to open his stick. It said, 'needs formatting', I said, 'ok format'. Supposedly that was my Linux /home partition, not his USB stick. [14:39] and similarly you can remote mount an sshfs filesystem without root privs [14:39] what better ubuntu 2008 or 2009 ? [14:39] Can I recover the data? [14:39] At least partially. [14:39] A lot of it is backed up.. [14:39] Rockiest: There is no Ubuntu 2008 and no Ubuntu 2009 [14:39] I also read about Zeroconf and now I am confused :-$. Would like an opinion or opinions on what people think is easiest, fastest and safest to share documents and music between my ubuntu laptop and desktop machine. [14:39] jongbergs : i think works from 2-3 seconds after the black screen because of watching the hd and cpu led. and also the keyboard leds not working. except the Scroll lock led that is flashing [14:39] Rockiest: best what? [14:39] Rockiest, you are talking about 4 versions in 2008 and 2009, which one are you referring to [14:39] pongo: if you don't want to mess up your partitions, use Wubi to install from inside Windows [14:39] JonathanEllis: Zeroconf is a very different thing from samba/nfs. It's used for different purposes. [14:39] JonathanEllis: IMHO, unless you have special requirements, use sshfs [14:40] Places/Connect to Server/SSH [14:40] I am discovering empathy and so far I am impressed. I am playing with the "share my desktop" feature with a jabber (gmail) account [14:40] After upgrading to karmic, I can't change colorscheme in byobu. I get an errormessage, but only part of it is displayed. I goes like: Error: ~/.byobu/profile exists, bit is not a... [14:40] if you can log into it, you can read/write files [14:40] JonathanEllis: can even mount sshfs too ;) [14:40] i have 8.04 now, is there any reason to switch to 9.04 ? [14:40] so who here uses empathy for IRC? [14:40] ciphergoth: My requirements are simple. File sharing with laptop, possibly automatic synchronisation though I have been burnt in the past with the windows version [14:40] the thing is i cant boot into vista at the moment, is there another way , and why did side by side install go missing [14:40] jcrawford1: I do, not sure it's wise but I do [14:41] markbaas: Gnome network manager has 2 checkboxes when you rightclick on the applet, one of it is named "enable wireless". When I uncheck it wpa_supplicant seems ok, but if i reastart the checkbox is set again. Is there a way to permanently diable it? [14:41] Rockiest, depends on your hardware and needs [14:41] Rockiest: if its not broken, don't fix it [14:41] I the screen is shared but it is not refreshed when I move the window around [14:41] then use sshfs [14:41] +s [14:41] jcrawford1: more people should use some empathy on irc. [14:41] TheTom, why is that? [14:41] does someone know where I can set the paramater that control the refresh rate ? [14:41] kleftisx: what video card do you have? [14:41] I am not sure I like the UI for IRC heh [14:41] ActionParsnip1, If i only knew how to do that [14:41] does not support /join wtf [14:41] you can use rsync for automatic synchronization, though best not to do that on top of sshfs but directly [14:41] JonathanEllis-> i second ciphergoth recommendations of sshfs [14:41] jcrawford: indeed [14:41] jongbergs : ati hd4890 [14:42] jcrawford: it helps communication somtimes [14:42] jcrawford: Empathy does not support /join at the momment but I believe that is being worked on. [14:42] pongo: did you resize a partition? If so, you'll have to use Vista's recovery option so it can see the partition again [14:42] haha [14:42] markbaas: login and logout is ok too, only restart enables the checkbox again, which I do not want [14:42] Rockiest: 8.04 is an LTS release. 9.10 is not. At this point, 8.04 will be supported beyond the support cycle of 9.10. So if you are happy with 8.04, stick with it! [14:42] how can you call yourself an irc client when you dont support /join rofl [14:42] j/k :) [14:42] lilyshu: I can't figure out where metacity is on my machine, what should I be looking for? === kj4_ is now known as kj4 [14:43] apt-get install irssi [14:43] the irc client of the future! [14:43] TheTom, yea i don't have time to learn all the kb commands heh [14:43] and i know there is a UI for it :) [14:43] ciphergoth n8tuser ActionParsnip1: Thanks very much for pointing me in the right directions for reading. I will look at rsync as well. Does that use its own file sharing protocol? [14:43] no i havent started the install yet no resizing done , doesnt that make you lose data on the whole hdd [14:43] kwinz, what do you mean? [14:43] Snausages : in terminal type gconf-editor [14:43] Snausages : then go to Apps/metacity/general and change button_layout to close,minimize,maximize:menu [14:43] jcrawford: Empathy is not an irc client. it is IM client which is trying to also support irc. use irssi or xchat [14:43] lilyshu: I don't have an "apps" [14:43] jcrawford: i just can't see why people would need a _graphical_ ui for an irc session, really [14:43] IdleOne, thief :) [14:44] IdleOne, I am using xchat now [14:44] pongo: why can't you boot vista then? [14:44] hey how do I ssh into another machine on port 2222? [14:44] Yes en how in xchat filter all the enter/part messages [14:44] disappearedng, ssh user@host -p 2222 [14:44] IdleOne: it is used to connect to an IRC server and can communicate as a client to the servers service === Guest80127 is now known as meff [14:44] markbaas, right click channel name [14:44] JonathanEllis-> rsync is not a file sharing protocol as intended.. remote synching is the simple explain i can come up with [14:44] IdleOne: so it is an irc client [14:44] bazhang, got it thx [14:44] Snausages : really? thats odd [14:44] disappearedng: the other machine needs to be listening on port 2222 .. then you ssh -p2222 user@hostip [14:45] TheTom, graphical is superior by definition assuming you don't live in the stone age anymore, that said, X still can fail, remote desktop can fail even easier... [14:45] ActionParsnip1: yeah I guess so but the main goal is to be a alternative to IM clients. IRC is/was not high on the priority list for Empathy [14:46] kleftisx: have you done this already? sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx [14:46] TheTom, that most graphical clients assumes their users are stupid and don't implement the most basic feature, well, I cannot help that. [14:46] lilyshu: seems like an important thing to be missing I suppose... pardon my n00bness, barely 3 weeks in with ubuntu. Maybe this is something that's different about this netbook remix? [14:46] IdleOne: true but doesnt make it any less === meff is now known as Guest68176 [14:46] markbaas: I mean, that if I disable the "Enable Wireless" checkbox in Gnome Network Manager, everything works fine with wpa_supplincant and I can still use wwan und vpn with the applet, I can even login and logout, but as soon as I restart, the checkbox is set again [14:46] TheTom: Graphical UIs are quite convienent - Xchat, even (eww) mIRC... especially once you are in 150 or more channels. Switching those in irssi can become a pain. (Fortunately I haven't reached 20 yet.) [14:47] jongbergs : when i do sudo apt-ger remove xorg-driver-fglrx and then restart ubuntu and try to load again, i got ubuntu starting in console and not gnome [14:47] ActionParsnip1: Still think they should leave well enough alone and not try to reinvent the wheel. there are dedicated irc clients that work well. [14:47] going to give empathy a try i guess for a bit anyway :) [14:47] grawity, 150 channels? Uh, who does that? [14:47] I'm worried I may have totally misunderstood the Linux permission model. Someone explain, please: I added user www-data to my group 'xmpl'. I have a directory 'mydir' with 775 permissions owned by xmpl:xmpl. But php scripts (running as www-data) fail to create new files in mydir - throwing "permission denied" errors. What's up with that? [14:47] kwinz, yes that is the problem, it integrates with the system, maybe through dbus you can get it to disable the wireless on startup [14:47] IdleOne: if a user can do multiple chats with one client and want to, they can. or they can leave the functionality and use a dedicated irc only client [14:47] I would have thought that since www-data is member of the group xmpl, and permissions are 775, it could create files in mydir [14:47] fasta: I know a few people. (One's a Wikipedia admin, has to be in a lot of channels) [14:48] fasta: uh. irc is the stoneage. i type text, why would i take my hands off the keyboard? i use X, of course, but i don't really need menus and icons when in an irc session. [14:48] Greetings and salutations. I'm having rsyslogd issues with $AllowedSender. I have $AllowedSender UDP, 172.16.0.0/16 in one of my config files yet in my syslog log file it stats that it UDP message from disallowed sender discarded. [14:48] oh hell no auto join for channels on networks either heh [14:48] that sender is in the $AllowedSender list. [14:48] i just dont know any more its the notorious bsod after a vista automatic update with crcdisk.sys as the last thing that loads in safe mode but inly a symptom for lot of different things and no solution a found sofar..... im no expert but i can be smthg to do with HDD drivers?? i think i saw a messaga saying a SATA driver is postponed for install after restart and after that i couldnt boot [14:48] zauber: you very slightly misunderstand [14:48] TheTom, Emacs is also graphical, but you can do (setq tool-bar nil) or somethign similar. [14:48] ActionParsnip1: absolutely. not trying to say the choices should be limited. A user should have the choice to use whatever app they like. [14:48] kwinz, I have had problems with network-manager too [14:48] :q [14:48] TheTom, both have their place. [14:48] zauber: sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/mydir [14:49] zauber: the kernel knows nothing of the relationship ebtween users and groups [14:49] pongo: windows support in ##windows [14:49] fasta: well, i use vim, or vim.tiny as it is in 9.10 (wtf?) [14:49] how ti install compiz themes [14:49] markbaas: mhm well no clue about dbus, how do I use this? [14:49] IdleOne: true, and the people use it so I gess its gonna stick around [14:49] zauber: when you log in, the login process sets the process that it launches to be in the correct groups [14:49] jonbergs: I want to keep the owner as xmpl, because of file uploads (so I don't need to keep logging in and chowning [14:49] The process that launches Apache probably just sets the groups to be www-data and ignores /etc/group [14:49] kleftisx: are you able to switch to virtual terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+f1? [14:49] pongo: you'll want to fix that before doing anything that might compound your boot problems (like changing partitions) === Guest68176 is now known as meff [14:50] ciphergoth: really, so there's no looking to see if the current user is in the group defined? [14:50] om26er: #compiz for compiz help [14:50] so the fact that /etc/group says that when www-data logs in they should be in the xmpl group is ignored [14:50] * jcrawford closes Empathy [14:50] guys i asked the same question about grub resotration yday.. im back .. pls help. [14:50] zauber: does that make any sense? === meff is now known as Guest25615 [14:50] i tried to find /boot/grub/stage1 [14:50] kwinz, i found dbus quite different, but this way you can send messages to apps. Maybe alternative approach would be messing with /etc/network/interfaces [14:50] Snausages : i just check my UNR, i can find apps with gconf-editor. :D [14:50] but then it says file not found [14:50] ciphergoth: yeah, makes sense, but it's surprising... would have never guessed it. [14:51] hello imtrying to install ubuntu 9.10 on a usb-stick from my imac and i dont want to put the grub on the imacs hdd i want to put it on the usb but i want to chose when i boot up anyone that can make sense on what i just wrote lol [14:51] zauber: it's probably configurable in Apache though [14:51] jongbergs : u mean to remove xorg and try ctrl+alt+f1? [14:51] Apache launches as root, takes port 80, then drops privileges [14:51] kwinz, check on google for examples how to setup wpa network for that... i think network-manager will leave the interface alone if it is configured manually (im not sure) [14:51] so now what im doing is using a solaris disk to boot into grub and manually choose the partition on which grub exists ... [14:51] ciphergoth: ah, I would hope so. Otherwise it seems to make the whole point of managing groups in linux go away [14:51] could anyone please help [14:51] /etc/apache2/envvars [14:52] ciphergoth: envvars say user & group is www-data [14:52] markbaas: installing gnome network manager did not change my /etc/network/interfaces at all [14:52] Ill try that thanks but i already lost hope on vista......one more thing do you happen to a heve a tipp on how to access my hidden bios setting in order to set SATA to IDE cause on my acer im struggling with here its a phoenix bios with literally no advanced options.........bye and thanks for your time [14:52] also running exec("whoami") in php through browser confirms this [14:52] kleftisx: if ubuntu seems to start but unable to load gnome, let's try if we could switch to virtual console [14:52] wrapster: sounds like you need to re-install !grub or !grub2 depending on which you are using [14:52] kwinz, did you change things in interfaces yet then? [14:53] pongo: which acer? [14:53] ]aspire 5112 wlmi last bios 3.13 [14:53] kwinz, network manager is not to change this file, however it reads it [14:53] markbaas: it is still the same, so the network manager did not alter it and must interfere with wlan somepoint else [14:53] IdleOne: yeah.. but now the issue is .. I have removed linux distro so actually grub was booting windows... [14:53] Good morning. I think I've found a bug/issue. Something changed so *.desktop shortcuts need to be +x to work. Except good practice is to mount /home noexec. So no more working desktop shortcuts. :-( === chibihogoshino is now known as chibi-away [14:53] i cannot remove anything coz windows now has some really important data on it... [14:53] jongbergs : restart and try ctrl+alt+f1 ? and then what to do? [14:53] zauber: look into the apache config language, see if there's a way to set extra groups [14:53] pongo: hmm, no clue then.. my acer d150 has a weirdo bios in it, but ubuntu 9.1 worked fine with the HDD in ahci mode === totem is now known as accio [14:53] there are User and Group directives already [14:54] hello [14:54] does compiz work in kubuntu? [14:54] kwinz, so you had you custom interfaces file? [14:54] hello [14:54] wrapster: so you don't want to install linux anymore? then you need to fixmbr ask in ##windows for help.

[15:00] HEY [15:00] when i start kubuntu i first get a tty1 console, after i login. then login manager appears and then i login again to have a gui. [15:00] how do i fix it [15:01] kwinz, you want it to be managed by network-manager then? [15:01] markbaas: in this bug the problem is, that the interface cannot be configured by gnome network manager [15:01] ciphergoth, et al: FYI My initial method of adding www-data to group xmpl actually worked. I had forgotten to restart apache... X-0. Can't believe I was that stupid... [15:01] I'm trying to run DVD thru Kaffeine but im getting this error " Cannot find demultiplexer plugin for MRL [dvd:/]" , do you have any ideas ?

[15:02] ciphergoth: wasn't the first time... won't be the last. Good to know we all err on occasion :) [15:02] hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh === RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx [15:02] zauber: good to know that Apache defers to /etc/groups [15:02] shockrates: after logging in to tty1, run the command sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [15:02] ActionParsnip1, i don't fear it all... i don't know it :D [15:02] kwinz, yes but i dont get it, you want network-manager to touch the interface, but not to configure it [15:02] ageeb: as you use it you'll learn :D [15:02] kwinz, i'd guess you just want network-manager not to touch it [15:02] shockrates: then sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm then reboot [15:03] kwinz, which would be the same as network-manager can't manage my device === Guest93987 is now known as hfsdo [15:03] kwinz, so as alexander sack wrote, you have to configure it in interfaces and network-manager leaves it alone [15:03] Hi all, if I want to add a static route, how do I make it persist through bootups? In RH/Cent it would be /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-$INTERFACE. What's the equivalent on Ubuntu? [15:03] markbaas: ok, to make it clear: i do not want gnome network manager to touch my wlan at all!!! [15:03] markbaas: that is what i want [15:03] kwinz, but you can still use network-manager for you other interfaces [15:04] PaulieWalnuts: did you try chrooting right now? [15:04] markbaas: yes, for my wwan 3g mobile internet card [15:04] kwinz, then again interfaces configured in /etc/network/interfaces become "unmanaged" by network manager. so this is a feature. === aaron11_ is now known as aaron11 [15:04] Does anybody here use apt-build and can tell me how to recompile the kernel with it? Thanks. [15:04] Can someone help me with this error? [15:04] HI everyone [15:04] markbaas: but it does not become unmanaged, that is the problem! [15:04] kwinz, it is thus not correctly configured in /etc/network/interfaces [15:05] gasull--> Please do be careful [15:05] markbaas: it is not configured as static [15:05] markbaas: but that is ok [15:05] gasull: sudo apt-build update; sudo apt-build install linux-image- === Guest75216 is now known as meff [15:05] markbaas: i want it to remain configured auto AND not use the gnome network manager for wlan [15:05] does the word overcreatable exist? === meff is now known as Guest1650 [15:06] markbaas: as configuring static would not allow me to get my ip over dhcp [15:06] kwinz, i think you have to take out the auto wlan0 from the interface, but i am not sure, look at google for that.. there must be a way [15:06] kwinz, taking out auto, doesnt mean (i think) static ip [15:07] kwinz: auto wlan0 means bring the device up at boot, if you remove the auto line, it will be down at boot and you will have to manually bring it up [15:07] how would i installed jre 1.5 under ubuntu 9.10? i'd like to keep 1.6 as my default, but i require 1.5 to run some legacy java apps [15:07] pmc-, use update-java-alternatives [15:07] kwinz: if you add: auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp [15:08] kwinz: it will use dhcp and not be managable from network manager (not sure about ESSIDs etc) === sarah is now known as Guest75274 [15:08] having problems getting external lcd monitor too work with my ubuntu 9.10? [15:08] aaron11, ActionParsnip1: thanks === Guest75274 is now known as croftyy [15:08] ralchev, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [15:08] Guest75274: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [15:09] hi [15:09] kwinz, look at the app network-admin, you have to disable roaming mode and the stuff will work i think [15:09] Infin1ty, it only lists java-6-openjdk as available [15:09] sarah@sarah-laptop:~$ lspci | grep VGA [15:09] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) [15:09] sarah@sarah-laptop:~$ [15:09] ActionParsnip1: ESSIDs are managed by wpa_supplicant IMHO [15:09] gasull: it can be risky but you can get a nice bit of speed if youuse high optomisation (may be a bit flakey though) just keep an older kernel to fall back on [15:09] i'm trying to run kubuntu-netbook and it the boot stops at "can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow". how to figure out what might be wrong? [15:09] kostkon, ill read this, thanks again [15:09] kwinz: maybe s/he uses WEP..... [15:09] ralchev, :) [15:10] DeeTah: did you MD5 test the ISO you used? [15:10] ActionParsnip1: I use -O2 because the installation said that -O3 could make my system unstable. [15:10] pmc-, how did you install your java? [15:10] jongbergs, tried chroot and i have other errors [15:10] ActionParsnip1: nope. should I? :P [15:10] gasull: possibly, have a play === Guest1650 is now known as meff [15:10] !chroot [15:10] chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) [15:10] DeeTah: yes, you have no idea if the data you have used is complete or error free without checking it [15:11] Infin1ty, so far I just updated to 9.10 which removed jre 1.5 and installed 1.6 in its place, but i'd like to get 1.5 back in addition to 1.6 [15:11] ActionParsnip1: but I'll gain speed with O2 anyway, right? [15:11] !md5 | DeeTah [15:11] DeeTah: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows === meff is now known as Guest42852 [15:11] jongbergs : ctrl+alt+f1 do not work :| [15:11] pmc-, so install 1.5 and you could choose with update-java-alternatives [15:11] ActionParsnip1: oh well, i'll try it. [15:11] gasull: not sure. [15:11] ActionParsnip1: if you look at my interfaces config I posted before, the interface is already "auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp" and it doesn't help [15:11] pmc-, for example if you had installed java1.5 you could use update-java-alternatives -s java5etc.. [15:11] kwinz: the iface bit and after goes on a seperate line [15:12] kleftisx: :(, well anyway, let's find out another way [15:12] jongbergs : thanks a lot for helping me fix this [15:12] kwinz: you will need to restart networking to apply the setting [15:12] Is there a good way to virtualize ubuntu in windows, I have my os's isolated on their own hardrives [15:12] decaprime, virtualbox [15:13] ActionParsnip1: Does the default installation compile the kernel for your system or does it just install a kernel for a generic default machine? [15:13] ActionParsnip1: just remembered that I actually used two iso images and both of them showed the error. [15:13] Infin1ty, that's what i was needing help with. its there some other repo i need to point to to find the right packages? [15:13] decaprime: i use virtualbox for that, it works well [15:13] is there an audio stream of the plenary for UDS? [15:13] gasull: the default install of ubuntu installs a generic one glove fits all kernel [15:13] Hello! I just converted from ext3 to ext 4. I then did "chattr -e" on every file on the system, to force them all to use extents. [15:13] Hiya [15:13] pmc-, well, i don't really know that, sorry [15:13] nm [15:13] Jamed: markbaas thanks for the answer, downloading it crazy fast right now [2.5 MB/s wow] [15:13] Infin1ty, thanks though [15:13] DeeTah: check the files, if they are ok you may need some boot options to get righted [15:14] ActionParsnip1: That's what I thought. Thanks. Then I'll sure gain a bit of speed. [15:14] hi! how would i untar a file to a specific directory? [15:14] kleftisx: are you able to boot using the recovery option from the grub2 menu? [15:14] !grub2 [15:14] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [15:14] But I received hundreds of thousands of warning messages. It seems to have worked though. I ran e2fsck a few times on the partition and it doesn't pick up any errors. Still, I don't feel safe:P Is there anything else I can do to be sure my file system is happy:)? [15:14] !grub2 | PaulieWalnuts [15:14] PaulieWalnuts: please see above [15:14] jongbergs : nop i have try almost all the options from recovery menu and im not able to boot [15:14] ActionParsnip1: again, look what I have posted before, It is already in a new line and I have restartet networking over 9000 times since I last edited the file xD [15:14] gasull: helps make firefox less rubbish [15:15] kleftisx: how many partitions do you have? [15:15] kwinz: thats all i got then,i dot use network manager. only that file [15:15] dsdeiz: try the "-C" switch to tar [15:15] Is there a way to force everything in swap back to proper RAM? [15:15] jongbergs : 4 [15:15] kleftisx: what partitioning scheme did you choose during installation? === Guest42852 is now known as meff [15:15] markbaas: where do i find network-admin to disable roaming mode? [15:15] sipior: cool, thanks === bizkit is now known as deep_thought [15:15] Oli``, : Interesting:O I wondered that myself, though I don't think it works like that. === meff is now known as Guest45330 [15:16] jongbergs : i have ntfs for Xp and win7 and also 1gb of swap and ext3 for ubuntu [15:16] sipior: worked like a charm, thanks.. [15:16] ActionParsnip1: I use this for speeding Firefox: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=681119 (minus the advise about extensions since I can't live without many of them). I also use Swiftfox, that is a Firefox packages compiled for your machine with -O3. [15:16] anyone else, how can i install java 1.5 under ubuntu 9.10 in order to get the jre 1.5? [15:16] dsdeiz: no trouble [15:16] kostkon, I've installed the package now I will reboot and see if it works [15:16] hey guys. i guess you all aware of this nasty flash bug. i know how to fix it manually, but i rather prefer to wait for fixed packages. but they are still not released. why does this take so much time? [15:16] do i need to upgrade 82852/855gm ? too get laptop higrade c2200 too work with external lcd? [15:16] cyberkilla: It's probably done automatically on demand but I've got 4gigs of free ram and a gig in swap... seems a little silly to leave it there. [15:17] kleftisx: so you only have 1 partition dedicated to ubuntu..right? [15:17] ActionParsnip1: and without network manager everything is working fine, my only problem is to tell network manager NOT to care about my wlan interface [15:17] hey, [15:17] Oli``, : I only notice this when I come out of hibernation. [15:17] jongbergs : yeap [15:17] Oli``: you could try: CSW=`cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness`; sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=0;sleep 5; sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=$CSW [15:17] pmc-: karmic repos don't have 1.5, jaunty does. But I suggest you directly download the bundle from Sun and unpack under /opt and then point your relevant java apps to that jre. [15:17] how can i use cut command with -d option [15:17] Oli``: sorry === Chris__ is now known as sloopy === deep_thought is now known as bizkit [15:17] Oli``: export CSW=`cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness`; sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=0;sleep 5; sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=$CSW [15:17] ralchev, ok [15:17] cankoy, thanks, i'll give that a shot [15:17] hellyeah: cut -d[char] [15:18] kleftisx: do you have any idea about chrooting? [15:18] Oli``: sets swappiness to 0 will make the system really try and use the ram more than swap for 5 seconds, thenset the swappiness value back [15:18] does anyone know a program that would make it easy to replace the headers on the top of a bunch of script files? we have a few thousand program files with comments on the top and they want the format changed of the header, while retaining data inside of it [15:18] ActionParsnip1: nope - didn't work.. nice idea though [15:18] Oli``: makes sense,oh well [15:19] veraxx: try ed [15:19] jongbergs : just in general what is it, and no how to create it [15:19] hey, how can I download all images from http://www.happyworm.com/jquery/jplayer/0.2.5 ? [15:19] hey, how can I download all images from http://www.happyworm.com/jquery/jplayer/0.2.5/images ?

[15:19] ActionParsnip1: yeah, the sums are right. [15:19] Oli``: sudo swapoff -a; sudo swapon -a [15:19] DeeTah: good, use those before attempting to use the data [15:19] ActionParsnip1: what do you mean? [15:19] Why I cannot change directories permissions on a NTFS partition. I run CHMOD -R 0777 and only files got changed, directories remained 0700. [15:20] Jamed: I get how to create a new virtual hardrive and install something into it, but how would I mount a physical disk as a virtual machine [15:20] kleftisx: wait, how again you managed to run the commands we instructed to you? [15:20] I've been lost in the backscroll, and I really shouldn't have split the message into multiple sections. Here it is in full, just one more time... [15:20] NTFS and UNIX permissions don't go together well, ubuntu_. [15:20] yberkilla: It's probably done automatically on demand but I've got 4gigs of free ram and a gig in swap... seems a little silly to leave it there. [15:20] damnit [15:20] that's not my message [15:20] cyberkilla: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:20] ubuntu_: you don want use chmod on non-unix-fs, use mount-options [15:20] ActionParsnip1: I just figured out that the md5's are right, so it's not the case. === Guest45330 is now known as meff [15:20] DeeTah: using unchecked data may cause issues as bit errors in the right place will cause the system to go crazy, checking is essential to knowing you have a good file [15:20] ubuntu_: ntfs does not support unix permissions. what you see when you use unix tools on ntfs are "faked" permissions that get set at mount time [15:21] Stop hassling me Floodbot;) I don't seem to have mastered Copy/past yet. [15:21] DeeTah: thats good, i'm just telling you why its a good idea to test [15:21] !bootoptions | DeeTah [15:21] DeeTah: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [15:21] markbaas,ActionParsnip1: where do I find network-admin to disable roaming mode, like markbaas suggested? [15:21] zash: it's (really) slowly chugging through the swap and chucking it into RAM. Thanks! === meff is now known as Guest64799 [15:21] kleftisx: do you use another PC to chat with? [15:21] decaprime_: i dont know, i thought you just want to create a new ubuntu installation in virtualbox [15:21] kwinz: no idea man, sorry [15:21] Hello! I just converted from ext3 to ext 4. I then did "chattr -e" on every file on the system, to force them all to use extents. But I received hundreds of thousands of warning messages. It seems to have worked though.

I will keep an eye on it, but if e2fsck thinks everything is alright, it must be in good enough shape. [15:24] DeeTah: any and all, bootoptions disable functionality in the kernel and system to make the system boot [15:24] ralchev, did you install sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 and then ran sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh ?

[15:29] for all requests across browers preferablt [15:29] decaprime_: i just googled a little: only things i found are about windows and say it may be possible, but in most cases you are not able to boot it in a virtual machine, since it also virtualizes different hardware, than your PC has and your existing install is not configured for that [15:29] kostkon, OK, then it will put grub as the main boot-loader by itself?

[15:32] kostkon, I don't suppose there is ANY way of transferring a working install from a previous HD to a new "partition" ... is there? [15:32] just installed lucid in another partition, and now grub2 doesn't let me boot karmic [15:32] flan_suse: that so? interesting. [15:32] ActionParsnip1: that looks promising, thanks. Google just wasn't being my friend today and I couldn't get anywhere :( [15:32] flan_suse--> It must be a missing driver [15:32] aaron11, now I must always eject from the OS. I thought the eject button sends a signal to unmount the volume then eject the disc. [15:32] how I can fix grub2? [15:33] !grub2 | sal_ [15:33] sal_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

[15:33] rafal: just mount and copy [15:33] what's supposed to be mounted in /cow at an install stage? [15:33] allo [15:33] rafal: I'd think you could use dd to move the working one into the new partition [15:33] how can I see if auto refresh rate is working?

[15:34] ActionParsnip1--> No I want to know a driver that lets you eject from the eject button [15:34] marek: yep [15:34] mmm.... sounds complicated [15:34] flan_suse--> Talk to ActionParsnip1 [15:34] aaron11: ?

[15:37] ActionParsnip1, yes, sudo eject /dev/sr0 works (it opens up the disc drive) [15:37] kostkon, yes i still have the error, i can play the dvd with the default player but I dont get the DVD menu and chapters are not listed also [15:37] flan_suse--> told you! [15:37] flan_suse: is there a disk in the drive? [15:37] ActionParsnip1, isn't the eject button on the drive supposed to send a signal to unmount first before ejecting?

[15:38] ok, i try aaron11 [15:38] flan_suse: it should but something isnt right so we need to investigate [15:38] ralchev, nice [15:38] flan_suse: if a process is accessing any file in that filesystem, it won't be unmounted. [15:38] flan_suse: is there a CD in the drive? [15:38] ActionParsnip1, sudo eject /dev/sr0 works fine when there is a disc in the drive. (It unmounts first, then the drive opens up the tray.) [15:38] ActionParsnip1 aaron11 flan_suse : sudo eject -t should also work..AFAIK [15:38] cat b.txt | grep 2000 | wc -l > a.txt [15:38] kostkon, default player now shows the menu and the chapters like it should be [15:39] ActionParsnip1, but when I press the "eject button" on my drive, nothing happens. [15:39] kostkon, thank you again ;) [15:39] this command put 2000 and other character related to 200 put a.txt ? [15:39] ralchev, :) [15:39] jongbergs : running now from live cd [15:39] flan_suse: ok, if you push the disk back in and let it mount. Then if you unmount it, does the button work ok? [15:39] ActionParsnip1, going to try now. [15:39] jongbergs--> He wants to eject from the button [15:39] ActionParsnip1, you mean manually unmount first, then push the eject button? [15:39] kleftisx: how do you managed to connect? [15:39] flan_suse: we just need to work out whenit works, when it doesnt sowe canpinpoint the issue [15:40] flan_suse: manually mount, then manually unmount, then button [15:40] ActionParsnip1--> Is there a need for a driver to do that? [15:40] jongbergs : i have download xchat using live cd. im currently in live session :P [15:40] Is there a repo for java to karmic? i can't use websites with java in firefox, they simply crash and i need to update it, any repos? [15:40] ActionParsnip1, okay. [15:40] aaron11: i think its a gconf thing, not a driver [15:40] hellyeah: No. It will count the number of lines that contain the string, "2000" and write the numeric value to a file.

[15:42] kostkon, it is unsupported in karmic [15:42] Infin1ty: you on 64bit ubuntu or 32bit? [15:42] ActionParsnip1, when you say manually mount, you mean via the GUI? or via the terminal with sudo mount /dev/cdrom ? [15:42] kostkon, i just realized that this actually makes ff crash [15:42] ActionParsnip1, 64bit [15:42] flan_suse: whatever, just get it mounted [15:42] hey guys. i guess you all aware of this nasty flash bug. i know how to fix it manually, but i prefer to wait for fixed packages. but they are still not released. why does this take so much time?

If you want to change the 3000 to 2000, you could use sed (sed 's/3000/2000/g'). [15:51] jongbergs : maybe i have to mount first the root partition ?

[15:51] because can't find help from anywhere internet [15:52] ActionParsnip1, here is what I know. If I comment out the entry in fstab, my user owns the mounted volume in /media when I insert a disc. If I don't comment out the fstab entry, then root owns the mount. However, either way, I can only eject through the terminal or Nautilus. My drive's eject button does nothing when there is a disc in the drive. [15:52] Infin1ty: looks like my download bit in my script is bad as the outputted file name is not the same as a manual download, if you download the "Linux x64 * filesize: 19.3 MB " file to ~ then just remove the wget command you'll be fine [15:52] why does the help of print screen button opened after a minute?

I've already disabled it from the init scripts. it's not supposed to start up, yet it does start up every time. and every time is breaks my network because I require a statically configured network.

[17:36] no feedback to me [17:36] PaulieWalnuts: what if you do the umount command wiht force option and initiate the install? === meff is now known as Guest12454 [17:36] jongbergs, then it all works [17:36] but cant boot after [17:37] jongbergs, we could sort it out if we understood well how the install process works [17:37] can someone give me another way to try get connectbird work in ubuntu 9.10 [17:37] jongbergs, apparently the installer needs /cdrom umounted just to commit changes to partition table [17:37] PaulieWalnuts: yes [17:37] my ati card worked with 9.04 [17:38] but with 9.10 the "hardware drivers" interface won't let me activate fglrx [17:38] jongbergs, but installing without it will result in unbootable broken system. thing is where does it get the files for install from if /cdrom is umounted already before install begun? [17:38] can someone shine some light on this mystery? [17:38] mr_boo: What ATI card are you using? [17:38] Hi all [17:38] Pici: Radeon 4870 [17:38] How to write an upstart service [17:38] to run after usplash? [17:38] PaulieWalnuts: im just wondering too why would the installer should forcefully unmount /cdrom from which it needs the installation file there? [17:39] anyone know? [17:39] Pici: it worked with 9.04 [17:39] PaulieWalnuts: sound weird really.. === DJones_ is now known as DJones [17:39] Pici: but after upgrade i cannot enable fglrx in "hardware drivers" [17:39] jongbergs, yea.. so im thinking . if i get a ubuntu netinstall iso booted with unetbootin, will anything change? since it gets the install files from the internet [17:39] ugh why my computer need to be soo crap? === DJones is now known as Guest96883 [17:40] So... the generated packages from AMDs installer requires libstdc++5... Where can I get that? [17:40] mr_boo: Is it not listed, or does enalbing it cause an error? [17:40] i can't even get hardy heron work on it (even if i have internet).. [17:40] 9.10 seem to only have version 6 [17:40] anyone has experience with unetbootin/ubuntu 9.10 ? === Guest96883 is now known as DJones [17:40] Pici: i hit the "activate" button and nothing happens === Guest12454 is now known as meff [17:40] Pici: it doesn't take affect and no feedback to me if or what went wrong === meff is now known as Guest36156 [17:41] mr_boo: You could try installing the xorg-driver-fglrx package manually. [17:41] how do I look up my default dns server [17:41] Hi all, I just upgraded my main computer to 9.10 fresh install.. Im finding that im having issues with sound.. I play mythtv then other sounds are queued application seems frozen until i quit mythtv. Reading on PulseAudio and ALSA. and this soundls like Mythtv is using ALSa but ubuntu pulse. [17:41] how do i implement a flash player and have it work im still kinda new at this [17:41] PaulieWalnuts: what i did was i have downloaded the ISO image file, verified it thru md5sum and use unetbootin to install the live cd onto my hard drive under windows xp [17:41] Pici: i tried to sudo apt-get autoremove and then reinstall [17:41] Pici: didn't change anything [17:41] is there any ways to make them both play nice.. or change ubuntu to alsa (what is better?) [17:42] jongbergs, I got the printers working, [17:42] hi. I had this massive problem recently (sat. and sun.) about the new kernel not booting anymore and with an older kernel I had about 96% of cpu used for X. I finally fixed it by purging xserver-xorg and other packages that were upgraded recently and then did a freshinstall of kubuntu-desktop over it. I just wanted to let you guys know b/c on Saturday there was someone with exactly the same symptoms. [17:42] jongbergs, same thing i did. then rebooted pc and booted the Unetbootin option [17:42] jophish: how did you make it work? [17:42] the funny thing is that 9.10 isn't beta anymore [17:42] knoxville, use nslookup [17:42] and this happens [17:42] does anyone know when 10.04 is coming? [17:43] April [17:43] ok... [17:43] next april? [17:43] capuzino: April 2010. The release date is in the version number. [17:43] is it possible to enable proprietary drivers from the command prompt instead of the "hardware drivers" dialog? [17:43] PaulieWalnuts: and then unebootin made changes to boot.ini, rebooted my pc, selected unetbootin from the menu, and i was off [17:43] jongbergs, It was an error on the client, they were not looking for network printers, [17:43] capuzino: 20*10* in April (*4*th month) [17:43] jongbergs, right.. and then i have this installer problem [17:43] 10.40 the 10 is the year, 4 is the month [17:43] ok [17:43] Hi, I want too make another key function as the space bar, is this possible?# [17:44] <_Narc_> I'm looking for a way to change openoffice document icons in Gnome-Do.

Thanks a lot. === Mr is now known as Guest23622 [17:44] ie 9.10, Oct 2009 [17:44] DarrenTod: it is. but I have no idea how to do it. You'd have to remap the key [17:44] is it possible to enable proprietary drivers from the command prompt instead of the "hardware drivers" dialog? [17:44] PaulieWalnuts: i am looking into that possibility..can you again have your ISO verify its integrity? [17:44] when is ubuntu+1 gonna open [17:44] well when I said games I meant proper games like UnrealTournaments , Quake and stuff [17:44] jongbergs, i didnt md5sum it after dl [17:44] :D [17:45] kravlin: thanks, someone told me on here a few days ago too edit a file, but I cannot remember which file :S [17:45] hey guys! how to download google chromium?

You can always change the server you go to in System->Administration->Software sources so you aren't on the same one as everyone else [17:56] does anyone know where i can see a master list of rooms accessable through freenode or irc? i am a noob at thisw [17:56] Hi, I want too make another key function as the space bar, is this possible? [17:56] mr_boo: look for entries that says something like linux-restricted-* [17:57] sharperguy: I prefer the main server cuz it delivers the updates 1st [17:57] darrend: Thanks... And, why has it been removed? If I recall correctly, it's required for several games and such... [17:57] jongbergs: no entries [17:57] music_freak: freenode normally blocks you from doing that - it puts too much strain on the servers [17:57] dave_ keep it that way. You don't want root access all the time. [17:57] I get good speed from it all the time... it got less than 1 kbps half an hour ago and it's still like that! [17:57] my net is fast... btw [17:58] Zeyelth: you're right, lots of things (not just games) still use it. You'd have to ask the devs why they do crazy things like that [17:58] jongbergs: there is one "ubuntu-restricted-extras" though [17:58] what rooms are currently accessible using freenode? i only have been to #ubuntu and #ubuntu-release-prty.. lol [17:58] Zeyelth: it doesn't even appear to be in universe which would make sense.. just dropped altogether.

[18:02] jongbergs: yes [18:02] mr_boo: yeah, 2 weeks anyway [18:02] hello [18:03] darrend: Problem is, this is just one of many issues with Linux; things are updated randomly, and you have to keep your software up-to-date constantly. I think this particular issue can be solved by a symlink though, if the .deb package itself didn't have that specific version as a dependency.

When I installed it, sound was working fine from headphones and internal speakers. When I booted it today, suddenly sound just seems to work through headphones, when I unplug them, the speakers are still muted. Anyone got a hint on this? [18:21] any easy way i can change 9.10 to alsa audio instead of using pulse [18:21] Th-c: man scp (-P port) [18:21] phil-h: did you not just perform a clean install then? [18:21] Infin1ty: just delete what it installed. Another option is to reinstall what you installed using checkinstall and then remove that [18:22] jrib, that's the problem i don't really understand how it works yet, i'm sure it updated some configs file perhaps as well? [18:22] can i reinstall ubuntu over the wabi withno problems. [18:22] Infin1ty: I'm not familiar with icu [18:22] jrib, okay , thanks [18:22] darrend - no, I was upgrading from 9.04 [18:23] dave_ good. Type "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/win". it will ask for the root password [18:23] Th-c: scp -P xx -r folder user@host:/dest (sry, typo) [18:23] phil-h: ok. I reinstall occasionally, but I never lose anything I care about as I have separate partitions that I don't let the installer touch. Like /home :) [18:23] thekaas, dave_: it asks for your user's password, not the root password [18:23] llutz: yes I got it ... but I get permission denied [18:24] anyone knows why some packages are marked as in the output of apt-cache depends? [18:24] darrend - haha, well if I re-install I'll get a shiny ext4 system, yes? It is quite tempting, also a chance to sort out my partitions.

It's a tool used to edit configuration database, desktop preferences, etc. [19:13] lol ubottu [19:14] dave_, then you should be able to shrink your windows partition, if you have enough free space. Im not in linux right now so I cant help you find it right now. [19:14] I have two different netbooks, hp mini and medion akoya, both have problems with usb devices. The hp mini freezes when copying files from a usb massive storage device and medion is unable to use my 3g usb modem.... [19:14] Vinceman, well, they're called libs . What are you trying to do ? [19:14] About to do something kind of invasive, and would like a sanity check. I'm going to change the hostname of an Ubuntu machine that is running on a remote network following this guide, which appears to be fairly recent: http://burnz.wordpress.com/2009/02/26/how-to-change-the-hostname-in-ubuntu/ [19:14] BluesKaj, I'm trying to uninstall 4vl2 because my webcam only works under v4l (1) [19:14] I was able to perform both tasks before upgrading to karmic [19:14] Anyone see anything missed on that list? [19:16] I think I'm going to ask on the forums to decide whether I need to open a bug report or not.... [19:16] anyoneknow why I get Permission denied when I try to scp ? [19:16] Th-c: Throw out the full scp command you tried to use. [19:16] Does landscape have its own support channel? [19:16] Th-c: if the user you're using for your scp session doesn't have permissions for the write location, you'll get permissions errors. [19:16] sudo scp -P 30000 -pr folder/* name_of_serv@ip_address:/home/public_html [19:16] TripleDES, not really much help, but sounds like it's maybe a usb support problem not addressed in the karmic kernel for your netbooks. Could try to recompile the kernel. [19:17] thekaas, That's alright I will be planning my next move.. maybe a new install.. My next question if say in the future I want to install a new version of ubuntu over this one can I do this on the same new partion? Or can I erase the ubuntu partion w/o affecting windows? [19:17] Should i have a BIOS password set ? [19:17] Th-c: name_of_serv should be a username, not a hostname [19:17] Horus: I think it is, but they both have different chipsets and found that weird....two chipsets with similar bug?.... [19:18] bradland: yes is uername [19:18] bradland: I have changed my hostname in the past few times without any hiccup and the tutorial you post looks decent. It seems to be okay. [19:18] Th-c it's not name_of_serv@ip it's user@ip [19:18] Horus: will try to recompile the kernel tonight.... [19:18] thekaas, that is assuming I do a new install on a new partition not a virtual one as I have now. [19:18] Th-c: ok, can you successfully `name_of_serv@ip_address` [19:18] Vinceman, i think you mean v4l2 , in the terminal sudo apt-get remove v4l2, then , sudo apt-get install v4l1 [19:18] Horus: you mean a vanilla kernel ? [19:18] leaf-sheep: thanks for the sanity check :) [19:18] Th-c: sorry, meant `ssh name_of_serv@ip_address` [19:18] dave_ then i bellieve you can just erase the Ubuntu partition [19:18] TripleDES, that is odd. hmm... haven't seen anyone else with the issue, but then again I haven't been looking and I'm still new to ubuntu, coming from gentoo ;) [19:18] Th-c: Also, the folder you receive/send with scp should have permissions too. [19:18] Th-c: as i already told you: since that destination-directory is owned by root, you have to scp as root or copy it elsewhere and copy local later [19:19] TripleDES, yup [19:19] BluesKaj E: Couldn't find package v4l2 [19:19] Hey, in my .fonts.conf I have MS Gothic listed above any other Japanese font in the prefer lists for serif/sans-serif/monospace but ever since I installed Karmic, it seems that it likes to choose some Mincho-style font over it, and I'm not sure what to do to fix that. [19:19] Horus: I'm a gentoo user too ;) [19:19] Th-c: isn't that username@ip_address ? [19:19] Th-c: scp as root fails on *buntu, because of the deactivated root-account [19:19] thekaas, thanks for trying to help. [19:19] yes I can ssh to the same server . ... . [19:19] BluesKaj, Reading package lists went well and so did Building dependency tree and Reading state information [19:19] TripleDES, hahaha! nice! I've been using karmic for about a week and I gotta admit... it's slick as hell. I was a ubuntu skeptic, but now I'm a believer. [19:19] 6o6 medpluz our server [19:20] Horus: loving that karmic went to rsyslog [19:20] dave_ youre welcome:) [19:20] Horus: that's my case too! but still keeping gentoo at non-desktop sytems [19:20] hey guys [19:20] We've got these AdTran VoIP to legacy T1 gateways all over the place that support syslog forwarding [19:20] bradland, one of the reasons that I decided to throw up a test partition... it became my main now :( lol [19:21] leaf-sheep: how do I set the permission of the file I am sending ? [19:21] Horus: will grab the latest vanilla kernel and recompile it, let's see... [19:21] Th-c: don't forget to "sudo passwd root" on the end machine as llutz said [19:21] BluesKaj (I made a bad move installing v4l2 with this page: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers [19:21] ) [19:21] TripleDES, hope it works man!

Can anyone help me?! [19:24] yes I managed to scp to a different directory on the same server [19:24] Infin1ty, Any problems? [19:24] Th-C anyway, it says on that site [19:25] Tiders-, hmm nope, but you should know what when you first login into the server and it downloads stuff, it's actually downloading and not hanging :) at first i though wine didn't respond and got stuck when it was actually downloading [19:25] BluesKaj, Th-C anyway, I'm going to manually delete the ko-files because there's no other way to go I'm afraid [19:25] Vinceman, in the terminal cd to the v4l2 folder , then make uninstall v4l2 [19:25] ko ? [19:25] BluesKaj uninstall: command not found [19:25] Infin1ty, SO how do I do this exactly Ive never used Wine [19:26] Tiders-, search in google, World of Warcraft and wine, you'll get plenty of info, there are also docs - ubuntu related as well [19:27] Tiders- Infin1ty when I wine Warcraft III I don't get sound and the task bar of linux is underneath my screen moving the top few lines off it [19:27] Vinceman, in the v4l2 folder , look for a readme or install text file , there usually are instructions for uninstalls there [19:27] How can I create Ubuntu server usb flash from windows? [19:27] Cale: check out the example file http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3105266.0 apparently in karmic you have to specify fallbacks in a slightly different format (I should probably try that too, firefox defaults to some terrible japanese fonts in karmic) [19:27] Vinceman, perhaps you didn't configure wine correctly, use winecfg to configure your sound, regarding your taskbar, i have no idea, perhaps you don't go full window?

[19:35] is there a problem with ubuntu repository [19:35] i get errors on a live cd for installing anything even basic [19:35] bradland: what did /etc/init.d/hostname.sh do? (I'm assuming set the hostname, but you know never to assume) [19:35] is there a way to switch to classic view from netbook remix view [19:35] trism: btw, another quick fix apt-get remove ttf-wqy-zenhei seems to have worked [19:35] Vinceman, did you open terminal , then cd to the v4l2 folder "cd v4l2foldername" without he quotes ? [19:36] trism: (but I should probably redo my .fonts.conf anyway) [19:36] smeags, i'm affraid not... [19:36] tsimpson: a guide i'm using satates that I should "restart the hostname service" using /etc/init.d/hostname.sh stop|start [19:36] whoa s/statates/states/ [19:36] The doors --> The best group of the worl [19:36] world* [19:36] Tiders, I'm playing it in Wine. Depends on what you define as "good". It's not making any problems, but I can't tell anything about performance [19:37] does puttin your system in hibernate or sleep, reset your uptime?? [19:37] redrebel: usually no [19:37] bradland: well there is no "hostname" service in ubuntu [19:37] tsimpson: heh, "well there's your problem!" [19:37] What version of WIne is in the Karmic repos [19:37] what's the oldest uptime you guys have seen?? [19:37] epinky, will I be able to install Ubuntu Server from it? [19:38] bradland: Try "source ~/.profile" [19:38] Tiders-, 1.0.1-0ubuntu8 according to apt-cache show [19:38] i'm exploring the contents of `man hostname` right now. it appears that this would be the best way to alter the hostname. i'm not sure why this guide suggests all this `sudo vi` [19:38] bradland: there is the "hostname" command which shows or sets the system's host name [19:38] bradland: Use nano instead of vi. :o [19:38] JediMaster, Is that 1.1.32... There is no 0ubuntu8 on the Wine site [19:38] nano, wtf? [19:38] and guide that suggests "sudo vi" is evil and should be discarded [19:38] any? [19:39] bradland, there is much more to changing the hostname than just the command 'hostname' [19:39] is it worth switching over to ubuntu from xp [19:39] tsimpson: no, i'm just perplexed by why this guide would suggest manually editing the files when there is a utility that will do the job. [19:39] Guest71801: afaik, it' installs Ubuntu Server in your USB [19:39] Anyway to announce ip address in Ubuntu? My switches are caching the information. When I add a new IP with FreeBSD the switches see the change right away but not with ubuntu. [19:39] fx3: thanks, can you have a look at this guide? http://burnz.wordpress.com/2009/02/26/how-to-change-the-hostname-in-ubuntu/ [19:39] bradland: like I said, it's evil :) [19:39] I need installation USB. How can I do that epinky ? [19:39] Tiders-, normally the part after the dash is the package version, so ignore that, 1.0.1 I would presume then [19:39] smeags: I switched over to Ubuntu from Vista less about a year ago. I'll say definitely. [19:39] fx3: the script mentioned for restarting the "hostname service" doesn't appear to exist [19:39] 6o6 medpluz our server === YDdraigGoch is now known as Richie [19:40] bradland, and be very caucious if you dont have physical access to the machine. hostname is somehow tied into sudo, once i changed the systems hostname and it wouldnt let me sudo anymore [19:40] How to eliminate deadkeys on a 2nd display? loadkeys? Or is that just for console? [19:40] Is there a way to fix hibernating/suspending in Ubuntu 9.10? [19:40] smeags, i agreee, switched from XP to ubuntu, not looked back, what is windows for anyway [19:40] fx3: exactly my concern [19:40] !hostname | bradland, this is the recommended way [19:40] bradland, this is the recommended way: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [19:41] Guest71801: check this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [19:41] tsimpson: rockin, thanks man [19:41] bradland, yea, this isnt right, the restart of the networking stack is required. i think its sudo /etc/init.d/inetd restart, but im not sure, give me a minute and ill have a look properly for you [19:42] Blueskaj yes [19:42] fx3, read tsimpson's post above [19:43] well, the good news is that the output of hostname matches the contents of the entries in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname [19:43] Cale: thanks, that seems to have fixed it for me too [19:43] bradland, can i ask what version of ubuntu are you running? [19:44] karmic [19:44] Vinceman, what is the actual name of the folder created after the v4l2 install ? [19:45] trism: Rewriting my .fonts.conf has produced an even better result.

[19:45] fx3: thx, will give that a host [19:45] bonjour [19:45] shot [19:46] bradland, this is same as doing an actualy restart, this will read the /etc/hostname file and assign it to the computer [19:46] !fr | samon [19:46] samon: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[19:47] i'm in through VNC [19:47] ganjanaut: Which characters? Basically, if *some* font on your system has them, they should appear. Installing the MS Gothic and Mincho fonts tends to be helpful.

I bet that font has the characters you want. [19:55] ganjanaut: I used to have it installed, but I don't know what happened to it. [19:55] bradland, so you are at the physical machine? [19:55] fx3: no, but i can get someone there [19:55] nect [19:55] bradland, to restart the machine forsfully do 'sudo reboot' [19:56] fx3: i can't get to a tty [19:56] fx3: thats not forcefully [19:56] hey guys - I copied some files off of an XP computer earlier and stored them on my ubuntu computer. Now Im trying to throw them up on our windows server and I cannot transfer them, and yes I have samba installed. What can I do?

Well have the person at the physical machine press ctrl+alt+F1 then have them log in. Then they can type in sudo reboot [19:57] cancel that - instead of putting my files FROM ubuntu TO windows I just went in windows and logged in to my samba server and pulled them down - all is well now [19:57] jayce: easy way would be using SSH [19:58] bradland: or if you can ssh in to the box you could do it yourself. [19:58] histo: any idea what happens if i do that through VNC? [19:58] irc.freenode.net [19:58] epinky - Im aight now, but I have no idea why it was giving me issues. [19:58] epinky - its like I didnt have permission to copy to my windows server [19:58] bradland, nothing will happen, VNC does not have access to the dev terminals [19:58] Hey guys, i was hiding some unmounted partitions with DevKit / udev Rules, but i search for a way to hide these partitions completely from the system not only from gnome / nautilus. Can anyone help me?! [19:58] jayce: great :) [19:58] epinky - so just did it the other way around and went from windows TO ubuntu and Im aight now, but still strange. [19:58] histo: i can't ssh in, unfortunately. trying to change the hostname [19:58] fx3: thx [19:58] bradland: If you can switch to a console through vnc which I doubt.

If you need to restart not much you can do about that. [20:00] <_Hammer__> lol they should just pull the plug out of the back, it's quicker [20:00] ganjanaut: Get Cyberbit.ZIP from there, and unpack it into your ~/.fonts [20:00] That is what I said.. [20:00] histo: you are a true pragmatist :) [20:00] ganjanaut: It'll fill in the missing characters :) [20:00] bradland, if you cant get to a terminal, then there isnt much you can do, have your buddy at the other end reset the machine, unless histo has a better idea [20:00] I forced them all the use Ubuntu to stop all the viruses and crap the office workers download [20:00] Cale: do i need to change system fonts? [20:01] our costs have dropped, and this is the first issue I've had [20:01] bradland: well you can open a terminal applications > accesories > terminal [20:01] Hey, I have a very odd error here. I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and none of the python things are working. Things like Gmount-iso and such are just spitting out errors... I have no clue what's wrong [20:01] bradland: sry for the typos i'm typing rather fast. [20:01] ganjanaut: The system will use it automatically as a fallback. [20:01] http://www.laura-ich-hasse-dich.net/?uid=881801 [20:01] Cale: ty :) [20:01] I guess power cycling off caused some lost data issues and now boot is stuck in a never ending cycle [20:01] histo: no problem. terminal won't start [20:01] bradland: when did these problems start?

[20:02] <_Hammer__> jawallace: Sounds like you need to fire some users, probably screwed it up on purpose b/c they want windows lol [20:02] flootenkerp: ask the crossover people you are paying for support. [20:02] histo: i just completed making some changes to /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname, then accidentally ctrl+d out of my last term before i could restart networking [20:02] That is one option... I guess your can't fix moron.. [20:02] I'm not, it's the demo [20:02] I want to uninstall it [20:02] histo: attempting a hostname change [20:02] <_Hammer__> bradland you should still be able to ssh / etc to the ip address [20:02] bradland: ahh [20:02] But I'm curious.. does power cycling off like that hurt the drive itself? [20:02] histo: which, might i mention, is far more precarious than it should be :-\ [20:03] I wouldn't think it would care who/what sends the halt signal to the power [20:03] einmal draufgehen bitte [20:03] http://www.laura-ich-hasse-dich.net/?uid=881801 [20:03] jawallace: sure it screams for hours after in pain [20:03] _Hammer__: linux doesn't like it when the hostname is borked. ssh, etc fails if there is a problem... which i caused in this case, so i guess i better quit complaining :) [20:03] Anyone? It's very annoying... things like Blender scripts and such won't work. I tried googling for the errors it spits out, but no luck [20:03] what is better ext3 or ext4 for installing ubuntu ? [20:03] <_Hammer__> jawallace, I would say no but it's I.T. you never really know what's going on. If anything it would corrupt the os b/c once the power button is pressed it begins the shutdown sequence and then powers off 5 seconds later [20:03] Did you try wiping out Python and re installing it? [20:04] ext3 and ext4? It is up to you.. I use ext3 [20:04] pokobook: how long is a piece of green string in july [20:04] bradland: trying to find another way for you to do it unless there is physical access. [20:04] pokobook: 9.10 has Ext4 by default [20:04] histo: i'm calling the guy on-site now [20:04] Best option is to just let the install do its thing automatically, unless you have a reason for mucking with it [20:04] !who jawallace [20:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about who jawallace [20:04] pokobook: for clean installs [20:04] going to try ctrl+alt+f1 access [20:04] !who | jawallace [20:04] jawallace: As you can see, this is a large channel.

I'd use ext4 for the system and ext3 for personal data (like /home) [20:05] histo: ssh is installed [20:05] bradland: if you are looking for a way to secure ssh look at the fail2ban package. [20:05] fx3: thx [20:05] JohnCDI Have you tried K#B to mount the ISO to a flash drive? [20:05] bradland: well then ssh to the box and restart it. [20:05] histo: ssh does not respond [20:05] thank you stefg [20:05] bradland: ahh because of the hostname change. [20:05] histo: because i was in the middle of a hostname change [20:05] ganjanaut: I'm not certain that there aren't other holes which are being plugged by other fonts on my system, but on a quick scroll through the CJK part of unicode in Character Map, I don't see any missing characters now. [20:06] yep :) [20:06] no i havent tried that ive used usb creator to put ubuntu installs on the flash drive i figured it would be the same for dban. [20:06] bradland: sounds like the only option is to have the onsite guy restart it. [20:06] histo: it's all on a private network. i'm using VNC instead of SSH because I'm stuck coming in through a Windows SSL to RDP session.... which makes me want to vomit [20:06] JohnCDI I used K3b to do something similar and it worked like a champ... I believe you can get a gui version through apt-get [20:07] bradland: when you vnc in are you taken to the gdm screen or straight to desktop? [20:07] jawallace thanks i'll try it out and return [20:07] JohnCDI Or you can just extract the iso to the usb and then manually make it bootable [20:07] im trying to divide a drive half for windows data and the other half for ubuntu there is no such option in 9.10 installation. [20:07] histo: this is a new install. i'm not sure yet. [20:07] histo: i usually enable auto-login on these machines with screen lock on screensaver after 5 minutes [20:07] they're in a physically secure environment [20:08] pokobook Sure there is... Partition the drive for swap/ubuntu and win32 [20:08] bradland: ahh [20:08] Do ssh transfers initiated through the Connect to Server dialog use compression? [20:08] im blindly trying based on luck and see if it works out [20:08] hola alguien habla latino [20:08] jawallace im not sure how i would go about what you're saying [20:08] I've also looked through forum posts but noone seems to have this issue [20:08] norta92, i do... [20:08] n00b here< require advise on http rebuilding [20:08] pokobook: manual partitioning [20:08] I used this http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/ to make USB installation disk for ubuntu server [20:08] will it work? [20:09] pokobook: don't use guided [20:09] (I am waiting for files to extract from .iso) [20:09] johnnybot, what do you mean rebuilding? [20:09] histo: thats what im trying to do now [20:09] JohnCDI 8.10 had a startup creator that should do it.. [20:09] pokobook: well the option is there. [20:09] JohnCDI.. Although I believe you can also do it through the command line [20:09] curious if possible to view traffic, http website flowing through network [20:10] histo: i don't think i've ever successfully changed the hostname of a linux box :-\ [20:10] Do ssh / sftp transfers initiated through the Connect to Server dialog use the -C switch? [20:10] bradland: I have by following [20:10] !hostname | bradland [20:10] bradland: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [20:10] johnnybot, yea, tcpdump === john is now known as Guest52000 [20:10] jawallace thats what ive used now usb-creator and its worked for making startups for ubuntu installations but for some reason wont do it for DBAN [20:10] histo: i followed that to the letter [20:10] i copy/paste the hostname to avoid errors as well [20:10] bradland: edit those two files and you should be fine after restarting [20:10] histo : already created 3000mb swap not too sure how to divide the rest [20:10] the only thing i did not do was restart networking [20:11] anyone can give me a hand installing uplink ? the game... [20:11] histo: that'd be awesome. thx for all the help [20:11] Hello. Which package on install automatically setups network/interfaces file? [20:11] bradland: the machine will restart even if there are issues just whether networking will work or not is another question. [20:11] its giving me an error saying something like missing a file in .setup858 [20:11] pokobook Why did you create a 3gig swap? I gues it doesn't matter because drives are so big now days [20:11] not found, using backtrack pre final [20:11] pokobook: you said you wanted half for ubuntu and half for windows right? [20:12] heard that it acts as extra memory [20:12] pokobook: also I would install windows first. but thats another issue. [20:12] !swap | pokobook [20:12] pokobook: you heard wring [20:12] pokobook: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [20:12] bradland, restarting the machine is same as restarting the networking stack. just if you get stuck between the steps, only thing you can do is restart the machine onsite. Ive had this issue once, but i didnt think the solution was so simple so i ended up reinstalling ^-^ [20:12] johnnybot: We do not support Backtrack here. They have their own support channel: #remote-exploit [20:12] JohnCDI Gotcha. Did you try the "ultimate boot disk"? It has Dban and other tools. I believe it has a utility to make it a bootable USB [20:12] how can i upgrade from ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 from CD? [20:12] ty [20:12] what does a swap mean? [20:12] Hey can i ask you something? [20:12] fx3: oh, that's never happened to me. scouts honor. honest! [20:13] kirandeo: apt-cdrom [20:13] !apt-cdrom | kirandeo [20:13] kirandeo Put the CD in, reboot and follow the directions [20:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-cdrom [20:13] whats a good linux game [20:13] !info apt-cdrom | kirandeo [20:13] smeags swap is used to temporarily hold information as the processor works [20:13] jawallace no i haven't heard of it. thanks thats another option i'll have to check out [20:13] bradland, it doesnt happen to me anymore, the other day i rescued a system which didnt work at all, didnt boot properly =) its easier when you know what your doing [20:13] kirandeo: Package apt-cdrom does not exist in karmic [20:13] smeags: quakelive.com and urban terror [20:13] !best > smeags [20:13] smeags, please see my private message [20:13] i have windows already installed on another drive, i am trying to divide a second drive [20:13] Is anyone else having trouble with recent NVIDIA driver updates? [20:14] im trying to downgrade network-manager to 6.6 does anyone know how to do this. I keep getting strange dependency errors [20:14] Hey guys [20:14] JohnCDI yw,, Do get it. It has lots of awesome tools for every situation including Dban.. It also has a nice interface for all the tools... [20:14] pokobook: okay do you want a seperate /home partition? [20:14] this is on a dell mini using there repos...i think thats where the issue is comming up. [20:14] Gantis Nvidia drivers and Ubuntu don' t like each other.. [20:14] yes [20:14] I know :/ [20:14] anyway, time for my question : i posted this message on the forums, but never got a reply, can anyone shed some light on it please? : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8213132&postcount=64 [20:14] Having big problems. Installed Win7, then XP, and then Ubuntu. Can only boot Win7 and Ubuntu now.. how can I make my system triple-boot ? [20:15] pokobook If your drive is big.. here is what I would do... 30% ubuntu / 60% home / 3-4 gigs max for swap [20:15] pokobook: okay well put about 20gigs for / ext4 . Then create the remainder of the half for /home ext4. Then use the remainder of the drive as fat32 or ntfs if you want. [20:15] MrMist, sudo update-grub && sudo grub-install /dev/sda [20:15] cheers m8 [20:15] kirandeo: hold up let me find it there is apt-cdrom I don't know why its not coming up. [20:16] hello, i need some help setting up a static IP for wireless on a laptop - can someone pm me and we can walk through it? [20:16] Later ladies and gents.. the coffee shop is running me out... too much surfing not enough coffee buying.. later [20:16] noneNN: I installed Ubuntu AFTER the two others.. haven't I done it already ? [20:16] where are the nautilus config files stores? [20:16] where are the nautilus config files stored? [20:16] MrMist, try again... [20:17] anyone aware of a good smtp server in the repos that i can install to test my email scripts? [20:17] kirandeo: if you put the cd in it will ask you to upgrade to the new version. [20:17] I've been searching through bug reports for the past 3 hours on how to fix my Xorg.conf file after accidentally installing new nvidia drivers. Can you give me any guidance? [20:17] noneNN: Nothing about XP here.. Just "Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1 [20:17] noneNN: nothing about /dev/sda2 [20:17] MrMist, there is a way to chainload windows with grub, there are some tutorials online [20:18] I've been searching through bug reports for the past 3 hours on how to fix my Xorg.conf file after accidentally installing new nvidia drivers. Can you give me any guidance? ... I'm running 2.6.31-15 generic [20:18] pokobook: you can even get away with using 10 gigs for / but you want the biggest portion to be for you /home. thats where all your files media etc... get stored. / is just for system files and installed software. [20:18] histo:ok [20:18] hey! im having trouble with this chmod x ELF 32-bit LSB executab [20:19] 3gig swap seems overkill to me [20:19] MrMist, u will have to edit grub2 manually... i have no idea how to do it... [20:19] fx3: hmm.. don't know where to start looking.. any tips? [20:19] kirandeo: it will pop up and ask you if you wan tot upgrade to the new version. [20:19] buttons840: postfix [20:19] MrMist, one second [20:19] iceroot: isn't there one installed by default? [20:19] histo [20:19] it says theres something wrong with that command.. im trying to make planeshift client working.. === b2pimp is now known as b2p1mp [20:19] pokobook: yes? [20:19] thank you , you were very detailed and helpful [20:19] fx3: I don't have XP in the win7 bootloader either.. [20:20] pokobook: np [20:20] can i have more then /home partition ? cause i just did the / part, /home and other xfs and ext4 partitions and i cant use those...i gotta put them a mount point also [20:20] MrMist, i believe you can load all 3 with just grub. but if your original XP bootloader is gone, you will have to do it manually, its not hard [20:21] pisiq: if you specify mount points they will be used as those mount points. [20:21] doodes, I can't click with my eeepc touchpad. I mean, I can but I have to hold the button down for aproximately one entire seconde [20:21] I have something with my package installer. It failed installing Ms corefonts, and now everytime it finishes installing something, it tries installing those fonts again and again... [20:21] pisiq: such as make /home's mount point /home it would be used as your users /home [20:21] histo: i'd not underestimate / size as /temp, etc can chew up space as well [20:21] so how can i make those usable without any mount point ? === alexan is now known as billy_maze [20:21] MrMist, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/add-windows-xp-entry-to-grub-434986/ try this [20:22] pokobook: the other thing to keep in mind if you reinstall you just have the new system installed to / and you tell it to use your old /home as the current /home then all your files and settings will be saved. [20:22] I unknowingly installed new nvidia drivers and it is causing great frustration. there is a problem with /var/log/Corg.0.log. Im running 2.6.31-15 generic ... Any tips? [20:22] Bonz: yeah but i've never come close to pushing 10 gigs. [20:22] histo: i started the upgrade online... but my conn speed is slow so left it incomplete... so can continue through CD? [20:22] I just installed the new ubuntu, but for some reason I can't see my local network.. [20:23] kirandeo: did the upgrade online fail then when you stopped it? It would have reverted to the old version depending on its progress. [20:23] /var/log/Xorg.0.log (not Corg, oops) [20:23] histo, how can i make usable partitions without any mount point ? [20:23] pisiq: you can do it after the install is completed [20:24] ok, how i got 3 partitions that i need to use [20:24] pisiq: especially if they aren't essential to system boot [20:24] they are set as "do not use" [20:24] histo: no smtp-server installed by default [20:24] i can mount those but i dont have the permision to write [20:24] pisiq: then they won't be used. I'm confused by what you are trying to do? [20:25] histo: it downloaded almost 324 packages of some 1500 and i closed... but still previous version is working [20:25] Peon: you can ping them? [20:25] !fstab > pisiq [20:25] pisiq, please see my private message [20:25] kirandeo: yeah just put in the cd and it will upgrade from there instead. [20:25] histo: thanks [20:26] cheers ubuntu [20:26] kirandeo: assuming its not a server install [20:26] !pm | Peon [20:26] Peon: 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. [20:26] kirandeo: then you'd have to use apt-cdrom [20:26] histo : no [20:26] Can anyone help me with .Bin file? [20:27] kirandeo: you should be fine then. [20:27] histo : ya thanks a lot [20:27] Six_String_sense: whats the problem? [20:27] all the other computers can see each other, Just not this one.. [20:28] i cant run the executable in it, i tried several instructions on net, i got to the point where i used chmod *file* in the terminal but it says that there is no such file.. [20:28] Peon: define "see" [20:28] Six_String_sense: If you're not sure what you're supposed to do with it, file foo.bin might give some clue [20:28] Peon: paint it in flourescent colours to aid visibility then [20:28] Six_String_sense: (it tries to determine something about the file from its contents) [20:28] i saw the contents, there was an executable file.. [20:29] is there anyway i can install GUI version of poweriso or similar on linux? [20:29] Six_String_sense: like windows executable or what? [20:29] oh, perhaps you got the filename wrong on the commandline? [20:29] er [20:29] Six_String_sense: nautilus has tis built in. [20:29] it linux version of Planeshift, i downloaded thi linux version at their si.. [20:29] the other two computers have full access to each others shared files. but this system doesn't see the systems or the shared folders. [20:29] Six_String_sense: so the bin is an iso type file like a bin/cue [20:29] yes [20:30] I am really frustrated right now. I'm seriously thinking aobut redoing my computer with a dual boot so I can access the few programs I actually like that are writting for windose [20:30] <[zaf]-Coral> Which is more preferred :D ? Vim or Emacs [20:30] Peon: shared means Samba? smb? [20:30] histo: yes [20:30] er, no it isn't [20:30] It's a binary executable [20:30] one is ubuntu 9.4 the other is windows 7.. so, both. [20:31] Cale: Six_String_sense thats what i'm confused of there are to types of .bin [20:31] [zaf]-Coral: If you're going to start a flame war, at least be original :-) [20:31] Ubuntu is supposed to be linux for human beings, but you still have to know more than the average user to do everything that you want [20:31] Just to be safe, please do file PlaneShift*.bin and tell us the result :) [20:31] Peon: "smbclient" is installed? [20:31] addrconf(netdev_up) wlan0: link is not ready - i see that thru dmesg, anyone can help? [20:31] fiberfolly: what if "everything you want" is confined to browsing the web, editing some documents, and sending/receiving email? [20:31] <[zaf]-Coral> bradland, ha ha.. I was curious [20:31] how can i be sure what type is it? [20:31] Six_String_sense: the command I just told you [20:31] lol [20:32] bradland: you can do that easily with ubuntu [20:32] Six_String_sense: the 'file' command determines the types of files [20:32] fiberfolly: that's kind of my point. [20:32] Six_String_sense: "file PlaneShift*.bin" should tell you what sort of file it is [20:32] fiberfolly: you said "but you still have to know more than the average user to do everything that you want" [20:32] yes, and i did that file *path* and it showed the executabl. i'll check again and paste it here.. [20:32] I don't know. what would the smbclient be listed under? [20:32] but I need to be able to do my banking on line [20:32] can't find a program that is easy to use [20:32] that will read my downloads from my bank [20:33] fiberfolly: mint.com [20:33] Six_String_sense: ./.bin [20:33] I need to be able to LISTEN to musci [20:33] music [20:33] guys, how do i open port 29521 to accept incoming connections for bittorrent? [20:33] so far cannot listen to a CD [20:33] Peon: use Synaptic Package Manager, search for smbclient, install if it is not [20:33] can make an image of it [20:33] fiberfolly: what? [20:33] !iptable [20:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about iptable [20:33] fiberfolly: what types of files is your bank giving?> [20:33] hey guys need to get my external mix working on skype bcuz the internal is low external is usb [20:33] gharz> iptables === _Hammer__ is now known as _Hammer_ [20:34] /home/guitar-maniac/Työpöytä/PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, stripped [20:34] I don't see it as an option to install, but I don't see it installed.. [20:34] thats what it said.. [20:34] Hi - I've done a dist upgrade through the upgrade option from Jackelope to 9.10 - seem to have problems with the nvidia drivers - anyone got any ideas? [20:34] fiberfolly: Things have been getting really crap with respect to audio in the last few versions of ubuntu. If it's anything before Karmic, I would recommend just uninstalling the pulseaudio package. That tends to clear up a lot of problems. Unfortunately in Karmic, they've made all sorts of other audio stuff depend more directly on pulseaudio without providing suitable fallbacks. [20:34] anyone can help what's the command line or other procedures in opening port 29521 to accept incoming connection for bittorrent? [20:34] comutamike: you might have to eloborate on "problems" === goose is now known as GOOSE === GOOSE is now known as goose [20:35] comutamike: rollback to the working version [20:35] histo i have choices. the usual that qucken and money can read as well as cvs for spread sheets [20:35] comutamike: what kind of problems? Either way here's an idea: hold down shift during BIOS screen to get to grub... [20:35] Six_String_sense: okay, so chmod +x /home/guitar-maniac/Työpöytä/PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin [20:35] llutz: i've heard about iptables but i can't seem to find the way on how to open it [20:35] Peon: is it there(on synaptic) with a green box with a yellow star on the corner? [20:35] :( [20:35] fiberfolly: well cvs would be the way to go. [20:35] by problems - the gnome x windows system starts but i just get a black screen [20:35] comutamike: choose rescue mode from the list and then "go to a shell with networking" === zorro is now known as Guest8586 [20:35] gharz> "man iptables" [20:35] histo: sry to disturb u again... do i need to run apt-cdrom like command ... if yes plz specify it completely [20:35] fiberfolly: just use openoffice to view those. or if youc an do a pdf you can also view those. [20:36] if i try to start x using startx it complains that the nvidia drivers aren't preset [20:36] fiberfolly: i'm sure there are sollutions to view quicken files also. [20:36] mbeierl: and then issue "aptitude reinstall nvidia-185-kernel-source" and see if that helps [20:36] comutamike: and then issue "aptitude reinstall nvidia-185-kernel-source" and see if that helps [20:36] it just bounces back to guitar-maniac@guitar-maniac-desktop.. [20:36] kirandeo: No put the 9.04 cd in and it will pop up a window asking if you want to upgrade to that version. [20:36] mbeierl: i'll try that now [20:36] Ahhh.. my mistake, I was using ubuntu software center. [20:36] Six_String_sense: yeah, but if there was no error, then the file would have been set executable [20:37] comutamike: all the best - see you in a few minutes hopefully ! [20:37] oh ok [20:37] :) [20:37] Six_String_sense: the chmod command only prints stuff if there was a problem [20:37] bradland: mint looks like it is all online [20:37] there was no error yes. so whatdo i do now? [20:37] fiberfolly: it is, and it's the best personal finance software made ;) [20:37] ok :) got that :) how can i install that then? [20:37] Six_String_sense: now just: /home/guitar-maniac/Työpöytä/PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin [20:37] ok [20:37] Its got a green box stating its installed.. I guess.. [20:37] histo: but it doesnt ... [20:37] bradland, don't feel safe giving a third party access to my account info [20:38] kirandeo: can you view the contents of the cd. [20:38] Six_String_sense: by the way, it'd have been less typing if you had done "cd /home/guitar-maniac/Työpöytä/" first :) [20:38] ya [20:38] kirandeo: hold up === howie1 is now known as howie [20:38] coucou [20:38] fiberfolly: too late. if you're doing online banking, you can be virtually guaranteed that "third-parties" have access to your account info [20:38] a vous tous [20:38] I kind of messed up my external device by unmounting it on properly and now I have the folder in my /media but the fstab or mtad don't coincide with it any help? [20:38] hey guys. i guess you all aware of this nasty flash bug. i know how to fix it manually, but i prefer to wait for fixed packages. but they are still not released. why does this take so much time? [20:38] bradland: huh? [20:38] Peon: ok, open a terminal and post results of "smbtree" command, use pastebin [20:38] Cale: huh, what? [20:38] Also says I can't mount it or unmount it [20:38] qos, what's broken? [20:38] cale: Pulseaudio not installed [20:39] seems like it worked :) thank you :) [20:39] bradland: Typically online banking uses encrypted connections.

But this option is not shown anymore, can anyone help me out here? [20:41] fiberfolly: I should probably try it. I haven't put a music CD in my computer for a long time, since I usually just listen to ogg and mp3 files :) [20:41] comutamike: I have to sign off for a moment... brb... [20:41] fiberfolly: Cale: My point is that your bank isn't the only one involved in electronic transactions for your account. If you chose not to use Mint.com on the basis that they have access to you bank account, then you ought to re-evaluate using electonic banking at all. Many banks don't even handle their own authentication; they outsource it to the same firms that Mint.com uses. [20:41] so it sees putt putt.. but it doesn't.. Weird.. [20:41] histo, now it won't even show up anywhere [20:41] qos, the left-click problem in flash I believe has to do with nspluginwrapper, but I'm not sure... [20:41] cale: Not yet. I was trying to use rhythmbox, because I have an Ipod and understood that it would work with this [20:41] Peon: then it's there, you can see them [20:41] fx3: still there? Just took something to eat.. [20:41] but can't even import a new cd I have [20:42] histo:it says sh: Can't open /cdrom/cdromupgrade [20:42] fearful: its now unmounted [20:42] kirandeo: ughh [20:42] porter1, no. these are 2 different. and i know how to fix them. the fixes were discussed in the bugreports on launchpad. BUT i prefer to wait for offical packages. SO... why aren't the packages updated yet? [20:42] kirandeo: where did you get this cd? [20:42] MrMist, yea im here, did you look at that thread? [20:42] bradland: do you have a link fo rmore info on mint.com? [20:42] Oh man.. I'm an idiot.. How do I change a computers name.. I just realized I have two girlfriends.. [20:42] free request [20:42] histo, I suspected so, but I plug in and doesn't work [20:43] fx3: Mm... So you mean I should manually change grub.cfg ? [20:43] comutamike: back. Sorry I'm not very good it joining wifi from rescue shell. Anyone else here? [20:43] fiberfolly: not handy, but before i decided to use them, i looked in to how they handle authentication, where my credentials were stored, and what type of access they had. [20:43] Peon: lol, plz use my nick on your messages [20:43] histo: free requst service.. [20:43] fearful: so now its not mounting. [20:43] fiberfolly: they outsource the authentication to another company that does pretty much just that: secure banking authentication [20:43] One more prob.. :d it installed it and created the folder but.. nothings there. i nacigated from the terminal and its empty.. [20:44] negative and on a windows machine it works fine, histo [20:44] MrMist, probably yea [20:44] ty bradland [20:44] epinky sorry, still new to IRC.. [20:44] fiberfolly: your credentials aren't actually stored. just like ssh-keypairs, the authentication provider receives a key that is used to retrieve your account details. this key is revokable by your bank [20:44] The program beep stopped working on my system. Any tips on making it work? It broke from upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 [20:44] kirandeo: hodl up [20:44] fiberfolly: also, the information is read-only, so you can't issue payments, but you're also protected from fraud [20:44] fiberfolly: np, and sry for off-topic to the rest of you :) [20:44] kirandeo: do you see the contents of the cd if you do ls /cdrom [20:44] Peon: you want to do what ? about your girlfriends? I didn't understand [20:45] epinky: I don't see any of the files that putt putt is offering though.. [20:45] no about audio issues; I ma using Jaunty, my sound is barely audible except through firefox. I can listen to the radio through firefox. Cannot import a CD through rhytmbox or whatever it is called [20:45] histo:ok i try tht [20:45] fx3: http://pastebin.com/f195bdb07 [20:46] Peon: putt putt is what? Win, Linux, BSD,...? [20:46] histo: yes [20:46] epinky: my old server 'girlfriend' is being replaced by my new server.. Also called 'Girlfriend' [20:46] histo, strange huh doesn't recognize any other usb thumb drive either [20:46] kirandeo: do you see cdromupgrade in there? [20:46] epinky: putt putt is a windows 7 [20:46] fx3: If you take a look, you see that there's actually two entries in the file, however just one shows up in the menu. Don't understand why [20:46] histo:no [20:47] bradland: It seems unlikely that my bank would outsource authentication to a US company... but to be honest, I'm not sure exactly how they're doing it. [20:47] Peon: putt putt is sharing something? [20:47] Cale: I can't speak for outside the US because i've only ever used US banking, but i do know that outsourcing security to specialized firms is growing because of the attention required to maintain security in today's hostile environment [20:47] kirandeo: hrm.. hold on [20:48] Cale: i would still stand behind my assertion that anyone so concerned about security that they wouldn't use mint.com ought to re-consider any type of online banking. [20:48] epinky: how do I change the old servers name? that would fix one problem.. I think putt putts problem is the shared drive is removed currently.. [20:48] Is there anyway to make Ubuntu run on a 'low' power setting [20:49] Running gdb reports a problem in ../sysdeps/i386/memset.c but I can't find that file on the filesystem, does anyone know where I can view it? [20:49] histo :see this kiran@kiran-desktop:~$ ls /cdrom [20:49] autorun.inf dists isolinux pics preseed ubuntu [20:49] casper install md5sum.txt pool README.diskdefines wubi.exe [20:49] histo, you bumped? [20:49] I'm "spoofing" emails from my gmail account to my gmail account. (as in, one email, just testing smtp headers in python) there is nothing illegal about this? [20:50] Peon: check this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/change-your-computer-name-in-windows-vista/ [20:50] kirandeo: ahh I see this is a dekstop cd. you can only upgrade from cd with the alternate install cd. [20:50] kirandeo: unless there is a way via apt-cdrom that i'm not seeing. [20:50] histo:ok [20:51] I'm getting this error http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/d16eeb5b2 while trying to mount my XP Partition [20:51] fearful: no i'm here. do you see the other usb devices being detected with dmesg. [20:51] hi! is it possible to change the initial view of aptitude to "New Flat Package List"? [20:52] histo, do you mind if I paste output I'll plug in two devices ? [20:52] epinky: Thanks, but I need to change the ubuntu 9.04 one.. [20:52] histo : then i cannot do this thru CD? [20:52] Arsin: is the disk part of a Windows volume set? [20:53] mbeierl: Volume set? [20:53] has anyone here managed to get any windose applications to work through Wine, and if so, can you PM me about it please? [20:53] Arsin: Windows can use two disks or partitions and make them into one logical drive letter. So two disks are seen as one C: drive [20:53] Peon: http://www.rebelzero.com/fixes/changing-your-computers-hostname/60 [20:53] kirandeo: I can't see a way unless someone else here knows. [20:53] Arsin: that /could/ be the cause of the message you are seeing... [20:54] histo: ok [20:54] New 'gdmsetup' in 9.10 doesn't allow you to select your GDM login screen theme. Is there any new way to do this aside from editing the jpg file in /usr/share/images/xslash/ ? [20:54] fearful: you can't paste in channel. You can to pastebin [20:54] fearful: is it detecting them though? [20:54] fearful: also a restart may solve all your issues. [20:54] Anyway to announce ip address in Ubuntu? My switches are caching the information. When I add a new IP with FreeBSD the switches see the change right away but not with ubuntu. [20:54] mbeierl: How would I fix this, I can't boot into XP [20:54] histo, well its a pretty long output and don't know what I'm looking for exactly so far I don't thinkso [20:54] I'll try that [20:54] mbeierl: I've found some docs - I'll plow through those - but thanks for the info about the nvidia drivers... I tried apt-get install nvidia (hoping it would list things like nvidia) but nothing was happening. [20:55] fearful: although i'm sure it can be fixed without restarting. [20:55] mbeierl: thanks dude.. [20:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/320286/ histo [20:55] fearful: dmesg -c will clear the dmesg [20:55] fearful: then you can try plugging in a device and seeing if dmesg changed [20:55] comutamike: it would be just a simple re-install of nvidia-185-source and you might just be able to do that without networking as it could still be in the cache [20:55] Anyone have any experience on switching from Apache to YAWS (On ubuntu server)? [20:56] I'm using ubuntu 9.04. I have read different install instruction on skype, but not sure how I should install it. Do i use Synaptic or go to skype web sit? [20:56] fearful: i'll be afk for a bit. [20:56] so, i upgraded to karmic, and now i have no sound [20:56] epinky: Thanks, that should solve it.. [20:56] Arsin: oh - sorry I did not know you could not boot into that partition at all. I think it might actually be as Linux described it: failed to read... The disk might be bad [20:57] Arsin: did this just start one day? or is this the result of a drive re-size attempt? [20:57] Should skype be in the repository of ubuntu 9.04. [20:57] hello, anybody around who can help me with iptables? I have some entries in iptables -L that I dont know how they came. [20:57] youngblood: skype is in the medibuntu repos, not the regular ones [20:57] when I try to access a cd from my cd/dvd drive i get this message: Failed to execute child process "sound-juicer" (No such file or directory) [20:58] mbeierl: Re-size, installing Ubuntu on a windows drive, made a partiton and it died [20:58] mbeierl, how do access the medibuntu? [20:59] Arsin: ok. so what we have here is a boo boo in resize. The meaningful part of the error message is "partition is smaller than NTFS". The partition was resized, but the NTFS file system did not get updated [20:59] Goksu: probably because your ufw firewall service is running? [20:59] youngblood: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu gives info... [21:00] mbeierl: Updated? Wasn't told that the sector was not NTFS anymore? [21:00] mbeierl, thanks [21:00] ocean: let me check. [21:00] Arsin: um... think of it this way: the house is smaller but the room inside thinks it's bigger than the house [21:00] is there a way to change the application icons in netbook remix [21:00] 64bit Ubuntu 9.10 with ext4 is so bloody fast <3 [21:00] Arsin: the partition was resized to be smalled, but the filesystem resize operation failed [21:01] no help for my audio issues? I just tried audacious and it did not work either [21:01] mbeierl: Ok cool, how would I go about doing this? [21:01] and yet I can write and image file, so my drive is working [21:01] Is there a way to get the WPA passphrase from nm-applet in a human readable form and not the 128char mess it shows when I click show passphrase? [21:01] hi [21:01] <_Hammer_> dAnon1 - what video card are you running? [21:01] Arsin: I'm not an expert in this area, but I do believe it is possible to get the partition (the house) size back to be bigger than the file system (the room) without destroying any data [21:01] anyone have suggestions for apps like compiz to be used? [21:02] i already have compiz installed, but looking for other cool desktop things [21:02] 7800GT :) _Hammer_ thinking about 4850 but I dunno if ATI is gonna be good under Ubuntu? [21:02] oCean: according to gufw, it is not running /not enabled. I had gufw installed after I found stuff in the iptables I have not put knowingly. [21:02] anyone here familiar enough with gparted or parted to help out with recovering from a partition resize failure, please? [21:02] epinky: Yay, that fixed it.. and I can see putt putt now too.. [21:02] can i directly upgrade directly from ubuntu 8.10 to 9.10? [21:02] mbeierl: Thanks anyways, helped me understand what is going on [21:03] _Hammer_ still GF 7800GT aint bad card [21:03] oCean_: according to gufw, it is not running /not enabled. I had gufw installed after I found stuff in the iptables I have not put knowingly. [21:03] Peon: great! glad you've solved it:) [21:03] kirandeo: no, you would need to upgrade to 9.04 and then from there to 9.10, clean installing would probably be easier [21:03] New 'gdmsetup' in 9.10 doesn't allow you to select your GDM login screen theme. Is there any new way to do this aside from editing the jpg file in /usr/share/images/xslash/ ? [21:03] Arsin: you will need a "live cd" of some sort to boot so that you can modify the filesystem without having to run on it. Something like Ubuntu Live CD or gparted Live CD. are you familiar with them? [21:03] trism: thanks [21:04] hello there [21:04] epinky: now how are you with raids? Heheh.. the reason for the new server is to move the raid to a faster computer.. [21:04] mbeierl: I'm on Ubuntu on my computer, I just plugged his hard drive into my computer, so right now the drive is just idleing [21:04] cirkit: you can change a few things with gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties; you'll need to restart gdm before you can see your changes [21:05] hello, my wlan card has "power managment: off" in iwconfig, when i try "sudo iwconfig wlan0 power on" i get " SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported." [21:05] what program should be used to encrypt a folder into a "file" which I then can move around (so I do not want to make a directory or a partition encrypted)? [21:05] i'm using a thinkpad notebook with the livecd [21:05] Arsin: ok, that explains the /dev/sdc from your pastebin. just for a test: what's the output of "sfdisk -l /dev/sdc" (list partition tables) (probably needs to be run as sudo) [21:06] why I can't activate my wifi driver on ubuntu karmic, it is listed in the proprietary driver list but won't active [21:07] mbeierl: http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/d41554a73 [21:07] trism: ah, great, Thank you! [21:07] please help my fixing that wifi problem [21:07] !! [21:08] hello [21:08] is anyone available to help me try and figure out / fix my sound problem [21:08] hehe VirtualBox rocks! [21:09] Arsin: ok, here is where I stop. I am concerned that there are actual partitions defined after the NTFS partition. To your knowledge, were they formatted or just defined [21:09] greezmunkey: oh yea! [21:09] is there a tool i can use in ubuntu to put ubcd on a flash drive ive tried usb-creator which wont work for some reason [21:09] I have Lenovo G530 and the wifi don't work because I can't activate the proprietary driver listed on ! can you help me please ? [21:09] Scuzini, I think I'm going to try a ubuntu install over an XP install withing a VM, and see what happens...! [21:10] In Ubuntu in "Empathy", what sort of account details do I enter on that computer to get it to appear on my Bonjour list?

[21:18] any help in repartitioning without loosing data ? [21:19] Hi, gotta mess here, caused by an overeager friend. To make a long story short, we installed ubuntu server 9.10, then the gnome desktop stuff, then kde, then disabled kde and went back to using gnome, then upgraded to karmic, which broke xdmcp so downgraded gdm to 2.0, now apparently gdm and kdm are both trying to run and prventing xdmcp from working. [21:19] I have a BIG issue! [21:19] So.... we kill the kdm process and restart gdm and xdmcp starts working again. [21:19] I'm using ubuntu 9.04. I have install all Medibuntu repositories. When I search for Skype in synaptic , I still do not see it. I also ran update. Is there anything i missing? [21:19] For now... Can we gracefully remove kde? [21:20] I have two HDDs, I installed WinXP onto the one the bios is set to boot from, and Ubuntu onto the other (after windows) [21:20] Ubuntu put it's bootloader onto my XP drive, and now I cant boot into XP! [21:20] How can I get BOOTMGR back?!? [21:20] tandyman100: which version of ubuntu? (or, more importantly, grub) [21:21] well edit grub to have a line with windows boot [21:21] GRUB 1 with ubuntu 8.10 [21:21] how do i make a folder writable, for the current user? [21:21] I added windows to GRUB, and it still won't boot, says not a valid executable [21:21] im having issues with my sound, aka i have no sound at all, ive gone through a few troubleshoots with no luck, can somebody help me? [21:21] cow1: chmod u+w file [21:21] hey [21:21] hey all [21:22] i have a problem when compiling code with g++ [21:22] cow1: chmod -R u+w folder [21:22] what can i do about empty windows on evolution?? [21:22] whats going on with xchat why i dont see userlist ? [21:22] tandyman100: put in an ubuntu live cd, pop open a terminal and type in "gedit /boot/menu/grub.lst" [21:22] /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.4.1/libstdc++.so: undefined reference to `_Unwind_GetIPInfo@GCC_4.2.0' [21:22] Okay. [21:22] d6chung: would your advice to cow1 work on my /etc/gdm/Init/Default file? [21:22] does someone know what the problem is ? [21:22] tandyman100: see here for more info http://boff.wordpress.com/2007/01/17/editing-bootgrubmenulst-to-change-the-grub-boot-menu/ [21:22] thevenerablez, I uncommented the win 98,200,etc Boot menu item, but it doesn't work! [21:23] i want to change my var/www folder to be writable so I can use with my netbeans IDE [21:23] thomatwork: What are the permissions for that file? [21:24] cow1: Writable for everyone? [21:24] no just me the User [21:24] Is there Bonjour (apple printer discovery) support in Ubuntu? it is rolled into some other configuration or discovery service? [21:24] cow1: Do you own var/www? [21:24] Yes [21:24] d6chung: rwxr-xr-x [21:24] but its writable for root only [21:25] is using the synaptics package manager going to do a purge, or will I need to run that in cli ? [21:25] tandyman100: can you pastebin that file? [21:25] paste.ubuntu.com [21:25] exit [21:25] cow1: You sure you own it? [21:26] thomatwork: Am I correct to assume that root owns that files? [21:26] *file [21:26] I currently have no sound :( trying to get audio via my digital out on my onboard soundcard, help please :) [21:26] what do you mean. its on my computer [21:26] why would the cpu temp applet dissapear in karmic? i miss that. [21:26] d6chung: sorry - correct. [21:26] oh, I just had to enable the setting "Show printers connected to other computers" [21:26] cow1: is this on a computer that is protected from the internet behind a firewall or is this a live HTTP server? [21:26] cow1: But you need to "own" it. In an ls -l listing, you should see your username. [21:27] thomatwork: Wait, and root can't write to the file with vim? [21:27] ok I tried "chmod -R u+w www" it says operation not permitted [21:27] cow1: It doesn't look like you own it. [21:27] cow1: you need to do "sudo chmod" [21:27] cow1: prepend "sudo" [21:27] mbeierl: you beat me ;) [21:27] I try :) [21:28] this is just a local server not live. nothing important. thnks i will try sudo [21:28] Greetings and salutations. [21:28] does /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf get overwritten with updates, or is this file pretty much static? [21:28] am I suppose to replace u with my name? [21:28] cow1: No. [21:29] d6chung, I was using sudo incorrectly - I was doing it wrong :( [21:29] fixed [21:29] drwxr-xr-x 2 root root it doesnt change it [21:29] thanks folks [21:29] guys can you explain me how to modify the number of the terminal's rows on ubuntu 9.10? [21:29] cow1: But if the folder is owned by root, making that user-writable will do nothing for you. [21:29] cow1: It _is_ owned by root! [21:30] cow1: You need to either make that writable by group/everyone or make yourself own it. [21:30] any ideas why "events/0" is using 15% CPU all the time? [21:30] how? [21:30] since it's nice -5, it's causing slowdowns [21:30] help!!! i can only use my wireless card from kernel 2.6.28-11!!! (2.6.28-13 being latest) this is a long story..please help [21:30] cow1: What do you want to do? Make a group, let everyone write to it, or own it? [21:30] own it [21:31] cow1: sudo chown username:username var/www [21:31] how do i downgrade a package? [21:31] and how do i make for everyone to write to it? [21:31] cow1: sudo chown -R username var/www <-- Actually that. [21:31] cow1: sudo chmod o+w var/www [21:32] "O" being "others". [21:32] when you say everyone, its only people on this computer right? [21:32] Yes. [21:32] That is, other users on that machine. [21:33] can you help me to fix that wifi problem [lenovo G530] it won't let me active the proprietary driver for wifi [21:33] Hey can someone help me work out the new NetworkManager and setting the dhcp hostname to get pushed to the dns server? I've tried setting /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf with set-hostname "blah"; but no avail... ideas? [21:33] I have no sound, cannot see my digital out in sound preferences, or in alsamixer, anyone know how to fix this [21:34] does ubuntu server have any hardware testing software built in? [21:34] Wow - I wish I could just dump the IRC chat logs from this group into my brain. reading a book is one thing, seeing problems solved right before my eyes is incredibly educational. [21:34] my ubuntu server keeps randomly locking up, I think it's hardware related [21:35] thomatwork, i agree. i learned much more on irc than in my private university [21:36] thomatwork: just wait for the crapfloods and you'll regret that =) [21:36] anathematic: i think software to test hardware lacks in linux :-/ [21:36] like i say, "theory is different on real ambients" [21:36] Docteh: you don't have any recommendations on what to do here do you? [21:36] Docteh: it's randomly locked up 3 times now in the last 24 hours [21:37] I have nfi === yoasif_ is now known as yoasif [21:37] anathematic: Doesn't your server have self-test software? I know that IBM servers have this. [21:37] anathematic, have you tested the ram using the live cd? [21:37] hello guys. I have upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 on my laptop and since then something strange happens : if I boot with the computer plugged on electrical system, if I unplug in order to switch to battery, the computer just stops as if there were no battery.

[22:49] perscitus: everything in the repos will match your current arch. for things that must be 32bit, the ia32libs package exists to allow them to be installed. ex of packages that use this: skype, flash [22:49] perscitus: seems I've been overruled, seems ia32-libs lets you run some 32bit apps. [22:52] I should just jump in and backup prefs. maco, there is 64bit flash but alpha [22:52] perscitus: right, so the one in repos is 32bit [22:52] perscitus: because adobe wont allow us to distribute alpha software [22:52] maco, Pici, ya I was a little confused when Pici said that cause I was pretty sure Skype was 32 bit and I have it installed on 64. But I am still a novice with Ubuntu so I figured I was just wrong. [22:52] the thing is I make the shortcut but it doesnt save anything of the game in there [22:53] and if I run it in the game folder it does save [22:53] perscitus, yes there is 64bit flash alpha...

[23:42] ortsvorsteher: no, because I don't have any wired internet, and I can't use the wireless, so having to use windows instead [23:43] hey, know any good easily to use dvd making software? [23:43] perscitus: install another bootloader mbr (normally what you want to do(although the easiest is to just zero it out, which would render your hd unbootable...)) [23:43] Ignatius, the wireless lan worked? [23:43] ill soon find out ..heheh rsk [23:43] arand.-> cant. need to remove grub2 first [23:43] micheal: deeveedee, LiVeS, kdenlive etc.. there's lots.

[23:45] using xubuntu.. [23:45] KenBW2: I think you can create a .profile file and put startup commands there, that's not what the gui tool does, though. I'm not sure what file it edits. [23:45] it's a usb stick that dials a number like a cell phone and connects on a 3G network [23:46] usb drive pantech um175 [23:46] how do I get a found of the number of files in one directory? [23:46] I would like to install latest kernel available in kernel.org, but I would like to know witch modules my current kernel has [23:46] kernco: it creates .desktop files in ~/.config/autostart [23:46] hondasid: and what is the problem? [23:46] Whats the easiest way to remove grub2 mbr from A hard drive? [23:46] idk how to connect it in ubuntu [23:46] anathematic: what? [23:46] Hey guys, stupid newbie question here, but what is /usr/bin/time ? [23:46] perscitus: replace it with something else [23:47] jrib: sorry, I want to know how many files are in this directory [23:47] jrib.-> Uh NO. Removing it. [23:47] so that I can choose the same modules in the latest kernel (and add a few for new hardware) [23:47] Is there a way to change where the notifications appear? [23:47] perscitus: use dd I guess..... [23:47] jrib.-> i dont need a replacement. and no dd [23:47] kernco: thanks, ill use that if i cant find the file it edits [23:47] hondasid: what is idk? [23:47] obione: your current config is in /boot/config-$(uname -r) [23:48] jrib.-> can i get fdisk /mbr to point to the hdd? [23:48] perscitus: I don't know [23:48] anathematic: ls -l will tell you [23:48] perscitus: this command will remove the grub2 mbr and disable your computer to boot completely, and this is gereally not what sane people wants to do, but since you persistently ask: "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd# bs=446 count=1" (no quotes and replace # with correct disk letter) [23:49] jrib.-> karmic is to dumb as it installs it self on Windows HDD and not Linux HDD. [23:49] can someone explain to a poor newbie what /usr/bin/time is and how I might go about getting it if I don't have it? [23:49] perscitus: that will still allow it to boot from cd/usb, but will make it fail to boot from the specified hd completely [23:49] perscitus: the installer asks where you want to install it to iirc [23:49] perscitus: only if you let it.. there is a manual partition and setup option on install.. [23:49] HAHA OH WOW [23:49] SecretofMana: it is in the time package, and it allows you to time the execution of programs [23:50] jrib.-> no it doesnt. never did. [23:50] Scunizi.-> your wrong. [23:50] SecretofMana, open a terminal and type: time [23:50] perscitus: you may have missed it [23:50] total 7527820 [23:50] niceeeeee [23:50] perscitus: you're wrong.. been doing it that way for 5 years [23:50] does anyone else get Totem crashing when opening subsequent movies (i keep it open and just open the next movie from nautilus)? [23:50] jrib: perscitus: It does indeed, I used it when installing [23:50] Ubuntu Installer HAS NEVER EVER asked where to install bootloader [23:51] perscitus: weird, must have gotten a bug everytime I install ubuntu I guess. [23:51] okay, that works, so I guess I do have it...but some weird error I'm getting installing Google's programming language was linked to not having that...hm odd, thanks [23:51] You people are in error and incorrect. [23:51] perscitus: bootloader.. true.. however after install you can put it where you want it. [23:51] Is there any way to set the CTRL-TAB binding to switch convos in Empathy? [23:51] trism, is'nt there a way I could save modules name to a txt for instance ? [23:51] hmm funny ubuntu installer gave me a choice of 3 disks to install too [23:51] perscitus: you didn't say bootloader previously.. just the install location. [23:51] sorry for english [23:51] perscitus: the mbr will ALWAYS overwrite the windows mbr to be able to enable grub, such is life. [23:51] It only asks where to install Ubuntu and what partition. Installer doesnt ask about bootloader [23:51] isn't* [23:52] perscitus: easiest way to rewrite the windows mbr is to boot a windows cd and run the fixmbr tool. [23:52] but that wasn't just bootloader, that was whole kit and caboodle [23:52] Bonz: he's speaking of where the grub reference goess in the MBR.. [23:52] whats your preferred language? obione [23:52] pt [23:52] why ' [23:52] !pt [23:52] ? [23:52] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [23:52] arand.-> except i cant. Both hdds have grub2 [23:52] it also detected other installs and offerred to install next to them instead [23:52] obione: lsmod will list your current modules, but then you'll have to search for them all when you configure, it is much easier to copy /boot/config-$(uname -r) to .config in your kernel source, and use that as a starting point when you make menuconfig [23:52] perscitus: you can define bootloader location in the advanced settings but yes it will overwrite by default === PC-Ente2 is now known as PC-Ente [23:52] i have an intel 2200bg onboard wifi in a thinkpad r51 i just did an install of 9.10 and it detects networks but wont connect at all any help? [23:52] may you find help in !pt channel obione ;) [23:53] but I could not find that file ... [23:53] There arent adv settings in installer [23:53] perscitus: so you are trying to get back the windows bootloader? [23:53] Can anyone help me with fixing: ls: error while loading shared libraries: librt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [23:53] ok :) tnks guys [23:53] perscitus: at the last screen there are, when "reviewing changes" [23:53] arand.-> On the Windows HDD, yes. [23:54] perscitus: and you don't have a windows CD? [23:54] perscitus: you can do that with a windows cd.. fixmbrr [23:54] fixmbr [23:54] Scunizi.-> on Win7 cd? [23:54] perscitus: not sure about win7 but it worked on xp & vista [23:54] perscitus: most probably yes [23:55] My notifications are appearing with a gap between the top panel and the notification, instead of being right up against the panel like I see in screenshots. Does anyone know how to fix this? [23:55] My friend's machine has recently had the graphics hardware switched to intel integrated. However, I cannot seem to get the i915 driver to be chosen for this, it instead picks some unaccelerated driver. What should I be looking at? [23:55] kernco: That's a feature I'm pretty sure [23:55] anathematic: apparently, total tells you blocks, not files [23:55] arand.-> whats safest way to change boot flags to linux hdd? [23:55] kernco: I recall reading they moved the notifications down in 9.10 so they wouldn't hide the close buttons. I don't think they're movable [23:56] Falcorian: Ah, ok. Thank [23:56] maurer_1: couple things.. first look in synaptic package manager and search for i915 or just 915.. second you might try .. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and it might pull it in. [23:56] how can I make xchat in ubuntu to play a sound on highlight? [23:56] Oh damn why did i update my ubuntu to 9.10 :P nothing works^^ [23:57] make sure that the hard drive u are installing linux ubuntu is the master remove all other disks if needed it will detect later [23:57] perscitus: since I have no experience with dual harddrives I do not know, change boot order in bios? [23:57] Scunizi: Already have xserver-xorg-video-intel installed. [23:57] freaky[t].-> Preferences [23:57] i know [23:57] but it doesnt play a sound [23:57] jakobks: how did you ended up with that error ? that lib comes in libc6 the basic linux library ---- [23:57] and there dont seem to be default sounds assigned [23:57] freaky[t].-> cuz you have to assign them [23:57] perscitus, and where do i get sound files from? [23:58] in your bios F2 or delete into bios on start up and make the hard drive the booted drive [23:58] perscitus: you can add the boot flag with gparted.. System>Admin>partiton manager .. if it's not there then sudo apt-get install gparted [23:58] i cant hear sound since i updated my ubuntu, what could be the problem? [23:58] maurer_1: sorry.. intel drivers aren't my forte [23:58] jakobks: Broken install, try reinstalling [23:58] i am using ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 [23:58] how to unzip a .rar file in terminal [23:58] Scunizi: Yeah, I' [23:58] mathepic: You Mean i have to reinstall the system? [23:58] ewan_: Try these two links (first one covers more, second is more specific w/ commands): http://drowninginbugs.blogspot.com/2009/10/caveats-for-audio-in-ubuntu-karmic-beta.html AND http://unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/525-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu910-karmic-koala [23:58] probably, if glibc is broken [23:59] Scunizi: I'm confused because I have the _exact_ same card as her, and mine has just worked the entire time. [23:59] added to the favorites menu shortcut youtube [23:59] Scunizi: So it likely has something to do with her computer being confused by her initial ATI beocming intel [23:59] maurer_1: you might also try booting into the recover kernel.. there are options there to reset the video [23:59] how do i change the icon?
