[00:00] perscitus: typically / [00:00] okay, my knowledge is a little short in this area.. Is it possible to have an "ad hock" network connection to an ethernet card on one computer, which is also receiving a wireless signal on the same adapter?? [00:01] Scunizi.-> use grub on linux hdd?

[00:01] KenBW2: tyvm [00:01] perscitus: you can put grub anywhere.. or everywhere.. why not just use it where it landed? [00:01] jakobks: that file belongs to the package libc6 (very fundamental), try " sudo dpkg-reconfigure libc6 " [00:02] jakobks: or " sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc6 " [00:02] Scunizi.-> so I can unplug either hdd [00:02] guys I have a question.. I installed uplink but It doesnt save my profiles if I run it with a user only if I run it with root... anyone can help me ? [00:02] arand, i will try that thank you [00:03] perscitus: ok.. I use to do that.. so you can put grub on both HDD's and accomplish that.. the new grub is a little different though.. look for the right docs for grub2.. it's typically done from a "grub>" type prompt.

[00:04] Ignatius: Intrepid? [00:04] zetheroo: as in the version of ubuntu -_- [00:04] basically, Can an adapter in ad-hock mode, be tweaked to accept an incomming internet connection? [00:04] is there a way to use rm to only remove the folders which are not hidden? [00:04] Ignatius: why are you running Intrepid? ... [00:05] zetheroo: because that's all I have a cd for [00:05] perscitus: keep in mind though.. when you pull a drive the uuid or drive designations in grub might not reflect what the system is actually seeing... yes bot grubs will point to the linux hdd for the config.. thats where linux lives [00:05] Ignatius: I see [00:05] Ignatius: whats your wireless device? [00:05] Scunizi.-> UUID changes when partition changes [00:05] zetheroo: intel(R) Wifi link 5100 AGN [00:06] perscitus: uuid can also change based on the position of the drive on the motherboard.

[00:07] guys i am looking for an app i use to have to search files on my computer ..it's sorta pink icon [00:07] is there a way to use rm to only remove the folders which are not hidden? [00:07] what apps are good for watching ATSC and/or QAM on linux? [tuner is supported] [00:07] sekyourbox: I don't remember how to do it, but I know it is possible to make a "fake" adaptor, meaning you can have ONE physical and one VIRTUAL adaptor of the same network card. I saw it quite recently on either Ask The Techies, Linux Journal, OSGUI Tech or Category5 through Miro. I believe that was the solution to your question. I remember you had to do something in /etc/interfaces, but not how as I said. [00:07] i just did something stupid, but i don't know the effect, i ran the command "sudo chown david /", will i have problems later on? [00:07] KenBW2: sure, remove only the folders that don't start with a '.' [00:08] zetheroo: yeah, I've used this disk quite a few times now when reformatting my laptop and reinstalling stuff, and I don't recall having these problems before :/ [00:08] jrib: how do i tell rm to do that [00:08] guys I have a question.. I installed uplink but It doesnt save my profiles if I run it with a user only if I run it with root... anyone can help me ? [00:08] anyone has a good searching tool to find stuff in computer? [00:08] KenBW2: you'll probably have to use find [00:08] windows freak [00:08] jrib: and pipe it to rm? [00:08] airforce: try gnome-search-tool if you want a GUI [00:08] KenBW2: sure (you can just use -exec) [00:08] Ignatius: so the wireless device you have there was working in Intrepid before and now isn't? [00:08] find -print0 |xargs -0 rm [00:08] or find -delete [00:09] Ignatius: what type of Laptop is it? Make and model please [00:09] zetheroo: pretty much [00:09] or what were you talking about?

[00:10] it become idle [00:10] airforce: Press Alt+F2, then type the command. Or right-click the top panel and add to panel. You'll find it there. And afterwards it will be accessible through the panel [00:11] anyone? [00:11] . [00:11] . [00:11] .

[00:11] shafi_: Is it possible the swarm just doesn't upload anymore? [00:12] ottisfantSir: is there a possibility to force it back? [00:12] is there a possiblity to move the notification bubble in gnome? [00:13] OttifantSir^^^ [00:13] shafi_: If the swarm doesn't upload, it's my experience that you can't force it. It's usually because other uploads are more popular, and "needs" the bandwidth more. [00:14] freaky[t]: not generally, without getting the source code, editing and recompiling it. [00:14] Ignatius: are you certain you had this wireless card working in Ubuntu before? [00:14] erm, I'm trying to install 9.10, but it find no partitions on the HD in the installer. But I'f i check the Places menu, it has a 50GB Windows partition there (which is right). [00:14] !list [00:14] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [00:14] zetheroo: pretty sure yeah [00:14] Ignatius: ok so whats it doing now? [00:14] Ignatius: can you see wireless network? [00:15] zetheroo: there is no wireless networking option at all [00:15] afaik [00:15] arand, hm ok thank you [00:15] Doesn't the installer support GPT Partitions? [00:15] Ignatius: and you are 100% sure that the wireless is switched on ? [00:15] yep [00:16] Ignatius: is there a switch to turn it on? [00:16] zetheroo: yes, and it is on [00:16] help help!. I would like for my Ricoh SD Controller to work [00:16] Ignatius: ok and have you done anything up until now to get it working? [00:16] after upgrading there is no speaker button in gnome. and i cannot add it. [00:16] freaky[t]: If you want it back to the corner instead of a bit down (supposed to make room for volume to always be in one place), you could try this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~gilir/+archive/updates [00:17] zetheroo: nah, I gave up and I am now using Windows for wireless networking, in a bid to find some solutions [00:17] zetheroo: no worries if you can't help, I'll just download the 9.10 image tomorrow via windows and update then [00:17] Does anybody use midnight commander over here? Mine is ignoring ~/.mc/ini [00:17] ortsvorsteher: just the panel icon gone? [00:17] arand, yes, only the one to change how loud [00:17] Anyone here proficent with dual booting Win 7 & 9.10? I've been messing with this for 8 hours today and am still at square one. [00:18] Ignatius: that's a great idea .. however from what I am reading you might need to update the firmware on your wifi card to get it to work with the Intel Linux drivers [00:18] Hi all. [00:18] zetheroo: righto, will do that tomorrow :) cheers for all your help [00:18] geekusa, you should be able to just install ubuntu side by side with windows 7 [00:18] Ignatius: also some laptops need to have the wifi device switched on from the within the BIOS as Linux may not be responding to the hardware switch [00:19] Do you guys know of any "lightweight" multiple desktop 3D (or even 2D) switcher that's compatible with the netbook launcher too? [00:19] fiberfolly: I'm not wanting to use Wubi because of the lack of support for steam. === chaky_ is now known as chaky [00:19] what can I do to make this work in 9.10 [00:19] Ignatius: good luck http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/13/435 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1273214 [00:19] ortsvorsteher: You should be able to add it, just by rightclick(on panel)>add to panel>Volume control. [00:19] I have installed win 7, then ubuntu 9.10. But Grub2 is failing to see the win 7 partition and never gives me the option to choose it. [00:20] arand, no, sorry, it is not in the list to add it... [00:20] Songbird 1.5 doesnt support the ipod anymore? [00:21] ottifantsir: i can not add Run application to my panel....alt+f2 app [00:21] ottifanstsir: nevermind i got it thanks [00:21] geekusa: you know how to edit the grub menu? [00:21] geekusa: have you tried adding the entry in the grub menu manually? [00:21] Hello all. I'm a software developer new to linux and I have what I hope will be a quick question. I'm trying to follow a tutorial that says to set the prefix of this software to /mnt/usb but noticed that in Ubuntu, the usb drive mounts to /media/[VOLUME NAME], should I change the prefix to match that or does linux "magically" know what to do? [00:21] geekusa: try running sudo update-grub2 inside ubuntu. Does it mention windows whilst updating? [00:21] geekusa: are you sure that your Windows7 partition is still good to go? [00:22] Well, i did a clean of install of win 7 & left 80 gigs for Ubuntu. [00:22] I'm in the process of re-installing 9.10. [00:22] * obione is away: estou, mas não estou :) [00:22] I was just reading on how to edit the grub menu. It appears you hit E when it shows up. [00:23] jake_ you have to tell it where to mount the usb stick, by default you do not have a /media/usb [00:23] !away > obione [00:23] obione, please see my private message [00:23] geekusa: and when you installed Ubuntu you made sure that you manually assigned the install and boot partition? [00:23] jake_ waht most people do is mount it to /tmp so mount /dev/Device /tmp [00:23] geekusa: well that is a temporary way to edit it .. boot into Ubuntu and edit it for good from within [00:23] zetheroo: I manually assigned the swap & / partitons. but I left the rest alone. [00:24] jake_ Device being what you are trying to mount in this case your usb stick [00:24] geekusa: sounds good - so you could see the Win partition but left it alone - ya? [00:24] Since upgrading to Karmic, I have the following ailment: Once I play a flash video, with sound, in firefox, I then cannot play any other sound file, or video file with sound, until I restart X. [00:24] zetheroo: Yes. 9.10 identified it as Win 7 bootloader but did not give the option to install it side by side and let me choose. [00:25] lotec: ah, so mount manually. Guess I would need to unmount (because it automatically mounts when I plug in the usb drive) then mount to some known folder? [00:25] !list [00:25] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [00:25] geekusa: well if the partition is untouched then you should be looking to add the entry manually in the grub menu .... [00:25] jake_ well it will auto mount the usb stick yes. so if it auto mounts there is no need to specify where to mount it, but if you wish to mount it to another location you can use the cmd i gave you [00:26] zetheroo: What's the best way of going about that? :) [00:26] lotec: got you, thanks [00:26] How would one make a share for Windows machines on a your network to view? [00:26] Jake_ ubuntu kind of holds your hand on this stuff. makes it a little easier for yea [00:27] geekusa: do you know where the grub file is? .... [00:27] btw this is the ultimate irony: This is on a 20" imac that refuses to run any version of osx. But it runs win 7 & ubuntu no problem. [00:27] zetheroo: I believe I read it was in the boot/grub/and it's a img file now? [00:27] the one I looked at earlier said not to edit this file haha.

I want to reinstall grub after installing windows. (Stupid move, i know) I am using this guide ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RecoverGrub ) However, I have a question regarding what I should mount. I have a /root partition and then a separate /home partition. Should I mount both of these or only the /root partition? Thank you, the guide is not completely clear. [01:05] i'm disconnect [01:05] I am using UNR. Added to the Favorites menu shortcut youtube. How do I change the icon? === wet-chan is now known as wet [01:08] hey guys. I have 2 hard drives (1 with windows 7 - the other with half NTFS/half linux partition). I installed windows 7 and it overwrote the grub loader that was installed on it. I attempted to install the grub loader again from the live cd but now all I get is a grub command line when I reboot... anything I can do to get both partitions back on the grub menu? [01:09] aerora: all I can see is a pulseaudio issue, check this bug report and see if there is any relationship to your issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/330766 [01:09] aerora; i'm just wait for the bug going fixed. have a nice day. [01:09] i want to make a setup script for new installations. Is there a way to only enter my password for sudo once and have it remember it?

[01:13] I've looked around SAMBA and I can't figure out how to do it. . . [01:13] I feel so lost. [01:14] if i log out the bug isnt fixed [01:14] LordHawke13: Places > Network? [01:14] LordHawke13: What are you trying to accomplish? Ubuntu accessing Windows box? [01:14] hmm. uninstalling pulseaudio seems to have fixed my firefox/flash sound issue (again -- like in 9.04) [01:14] Other way around. [01:14] is there a way i could login my active directory account from ubuntu desktop? [01:14] LordHawke13: Right-click on the folder --> Sharing Option? [01:14] I've done that. [01:14] so far so good [01:15] LordHawke13: Windows7? [01:15] I've enable all access options I can find, the Windows machine on my local network can't see me. [01:15] XP [01:15] what the heck [01:15] Doonz: I think it's your .bashrc file. (it's in your /home directory) [01:15] those mad firefox crashes every time [01:15] leaf-sheep: does W7 have problems accessing linux shares? [01:15] LordHawke13: Any chance XP is on different than WORKGROUP? [01:16] It is. It's group is "Mshome" [01:16] Mine is "workgroup" [01:16] I don't know how to change it. [01:16] KenBW2: I don't have W7 but from what I have been reading on this channel, it require some changes in W7. [01:16] whats up with the flash player of adobe? [01:16] But it's not Win7. It's WinXP.

[01:16] adobe crash player [01:17] LordHawke13: gksudo gedit /etc/smb [01:17] LordHawke13: You want smb.conf or something. I'm not certain. I don't have samba. :) [01:17] I've tried there. I don't know what to do. [01:17] I did download a GUI to automate it. [01:17] I didn't know what to do there either. [01:18] LordHawke13: You see this already?

[01:20] hello, why does ubuntu crash when i try to install it? i've used the same cd to install it in my hard drive before? is there something wrong with my hard drive? [01:21] how do you find out what version of GTK you have installed? [01:21] LordHawke13: Is smbclient installed? [01:22] metal1369: what do you mean crash? Are you getting errors, flashing caps lock? If there is a problem with the disk that could cause problems so it may be wise to check the disk for errors. [01:22] leaf-sheep: No. I did something. I'm going to see if that worked. After that I'll try smbclient. [01:22] I heard vaguely that there are reasons not to upgrade to ubuntu 9.10. Can anyone informed tell me whether they are formidable? [01:22] hey guys, im having a very strange permissions issue, all of the contents of the non dot folders in my home directory have no user/group and no permissions, it just started happening 2 hours ago [01:22] i was installing ubuntu it was at 60% completion when suddenly it went into live session user mode [01:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/320464/ [01:23] back [01:23] how do you find out what version of GTK you have installed?

I guess I'll try that then. Wish me luck. :) [01:24] Skate[9]: try from a root shell, you can access one from the grub boot menu, if it doesn't appear hit escape during boot and select it when the menu appears. [01:25] Jeruvy, ok, i know how to get into a single user root shell, just reboot in single user mode and try to reset the permissions? === bryan is now known as Bam_Bam [01:25] Skate[9]: you got it :) [01:25] Jeruvy, ok, thanks ill try that now [01:25] Skate[9]: just make sure you set the permissions for your 'user' not for root :) [01:26] yeah, got it, not a web :) [01:27] Should I be able to boot linux if I have /boot, /home & the bootloader on /dev/sda & then / on /dev/mmcblock, where /dev/mmcblock is a sdhc card that cannot be booted from?

[01:37] LordHawke13: there is a workgroup parameter in /etc/samba/smb.conf [01:37] how is a port blocked when im connected to DMZ? [01:37] VCoolio what are the ports you're using ??? [01:38] well, dont know for sure... But it is a good bet.. [01:38] SMTP and IMAP [01:38] OK. . . That's what I'd been changing. But it still isn't working. . . [01:38] bye [01:38] I'm so confused about this whole Samba thing. . . [01:38] IMAP4 sorry === chaky_ is now known as chaky [01:39] spiky25: the defaults I guess, didn't change that, so 25 and 143 [01:39] LordHawke13: you must also restart the samba daemon whenever you change the config file sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [01:39] I' [01:39] I've been restarting it constantly. . . [01:39] Is there some sorta screen sharing chat where someone here can walk me through configuring Samba? [01:39] spiky25: did you also enable imap on the gmail side? I had to do that a long time ago I remember to import in a client [01:40] It hates me. [01:40] Hates my guts! [01:40] LordHawke13: are you using karmic? Samba should be already rolled out for you. [01:40] I am but it wasn't. [01:41] LordHawke13: what are you trying to accomplish? [01:41] back again gnome installed again *phew* now again the crash with visual effects [01:41] Have a Windows machine map a network share from my Ubuntu machine. [01:41] aerora: ya I'd stay away from that It may be your graphics card isn't agreeing with desktop effects. [01:41] spiky25: authentication method is 'automatic' and SSL is enabled, no more fancy settings [01:42] VCoolio yes [01:42] hi to everybody [01:42] How do I get a script to run (as a workaround for a lousy bug) shortly after boot, whether or not someone logs in? [01:42] alazyworkaholic: "sudo nano /etc/rc.local" [01:42] jeruvy: i used the visual effects in jaunty but in karmic it crashes [01:42] alazyworkaholic: run it from /etc/rc.local. [01:42] on the same machine [01:43] Jeruvy: What all am I gonna have to do to be able to do that? [01:43] LordHawke13: so you are trying to map a samba share on ubuntu to windows? What errors occur? [01:43] The Windows machine completely can't see me. [01:44] Sorry. I keep forgeting to address people. . . [01:44] Jeruvy: The Windows machine completely can't see me. [01:44] LordHawke13: is it possible your blocking the connection attempts? Are you using firestarter? [01:44] thanks [01:44] Don't even know what that is. [01:44] BAHH! [01:44] Forgot again. [01:44] !firestarter [01:44] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [01:45] LordHawke13: is ok I'm watching ;) [01:45] Jeruvy, any other ideas (file permissions)? when i boot into a root shell i get read-only filesystem errors [01:45] "sexting," the sending of sexually explicit texts and pictures by cell phone.

[01:48] second one down [01:49] Skate[9]: Hmm not really, sorry. Are you trying to write to the dirs? [01:49] Jeruvy: No I don't. I'm installing FireStarter. [01:49] Jeruvy: What do I do in it? [01:49] Jeruvy, i get the read-only errors while doing chown -R [01:49] im gonna go eat dinner, ill bbiab [01:49] meeeee, are you wanting to install themes? [01:50] if root can still read the files properly, i may just backup and delete my user then restore it all [01:50] coz_: what's a theme [01:50] leaf-sheep: just to check, I could run #!/bin/bash wait 30 /etc/init.d/cups restart exit to correct the problem that I have to manually restart cups if I set concurrency=shell in /etc/init.d/rc to do a faster double threaded boot? [01:50] meeeee, a system theme the themes that colour the window interiors and the window borders [01:50] LordHawke13, what are you using firestarter for? [01:51] hi all...how can I upgrade from 8.04 to 9.10 using the command line? [01:51] oh! [01:51] Jeruvy asked me if I had it. I thought it might be important. . . [01:51] hey i need some help... i just reinstalled my ubuntu 9.04 and my mouse is not working... what should i do? [01:51] where can I find those coz_ [01:51] meeeee, you can open system/administration/synatpic pacakge manager hit the Search button and type in libgtk [01:51] LordHawke13, I prefer ufw for simple firewalling [01:51] meeeee, for themes go to gnome-look.org make sure you click the GTK2.0 on the left [01:51] idk where i am, but is some going to make an auto tune for andriod? [01:52] m_tadeu: that would include upgrading to 8.10 and 9.04 first; better install clean if your home is on a different partition [01:52] LordHawke13: I would add the machine you want to connect to, to ensure you aren't having any blockages. [01:52] Jeruvy: So FireStarter can only be a hinderance. . . ? [01:52] VCoolio: it's clean :) do you know the command? [01:52] alazyworkaholic: I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish, but to have concurrency=shell, then it is common for multi-core processors to start all services if possible. [01:52] LordHawke13: its a way to access iptables [01:53] Just to check, could I put a file in /etc/rc.local containing #!/bin/bash wait 30 /etc/init.d/cups restart exit to correct the problem that I have to manually restart cups if I set concurrency=shell in /etc/init.d/rc to do a faster double threaded boot? [01:53] Jeruvy: what can I do with it that helps my situation? [01:53] Jeruvy: I've looked around. [01:53] alazyworkaholic: Run the script. See if that works. Anything that run in rc.local will be run. [01:53] i need help with xubuntu wireless connection set up plz help [01:53] LordHawke13: you can use ufw also, whichever you prefer [01:53] oops, ignore last post. Thanks leaf-sheep [01:53] help plz.. my mouse is not working after a reinstall [01:54] luist_: What type of mouse? [01:54] m_tadeu: apt-get dist-upgrade but I don't know if you need to switch on the possibility of upgrading first somewhere [01:54] where can i get info about privacy on the internet? [01:54] alazyworkaholic: concurrency is not the right solution. You need to put the contents of rc.local into it's own script and then start it from /etc/rc.local in the background [01:54] Jeruvy: So it should have nothing to do with it if I completely didn't have a firewall? [01:54] Taim: neither notebook one or usb are working [01:54] LordHawke13: ubuntu comes with a firewall. Did you read the factiod? [01:54] mrXX: eff.org [01:55] Jeruvy: How do I edit that firewall? [01:55] Taim: hm... ill update system to see if it solves my problem... :( [01:55] Jeruvy, can you help me set up my wireless connection on my xubuntu operating system on my laptop? [01:55] Hi everyone [01:55] Taim dude, is it possible for my company to see whatever i m doing online? [01:55] luist_: Good first start. What make model on the laptop and the mouse? [01:56] mrXX: Of course. [01:56] LordHawke13: either 1: iptables (hellish for noobs) 2: firestarter (easy) or ufw (easy), whichever you prefer. Add the machine as an allowed host so you can eliminate it as a problem. [01:56] mrXX: If you are browsing while at work, more than likely. [01:56] I have a question, should I upgrade from ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 or should I do a clean install? I have the 64 bits version [01:56] Taim: hmmm. already running, but not displaying on the desktop. Right click and create new folder, change background, etc, are not working either [01:56] Taim will using sites like hidemyass fool them? [01:56] Taim: well my laptop is a sony vaio fw139e.. i dunno if theres an specific model for the touchpad mouse :P [01:56] Can anybody help me??. [01:56] mrXX: Dunno. [01:56] gabriel: Clean installation. That way, you won't face any upgrading-related issues. [01:57] Thanks for the answer [01:57] leaf-sheep dude will using proxy fool them? or can they still see me [01:57] qwebirc88827: sorry I'm a bit busy atm. Ask your question and if anyone can help they will respond [01:57] luist_: Let me do a bit of digging. It does help to google around for "fw139e" and "Ubuntu" [01:57] Taim: its not that eazy to google around without using the mouse :P [01:58] I NEED HELP WITH XUBUNTU WIRELESS CONNECTION SETUP PLZ ANYBODY [01:58] luist_: True, but it CAN be done :) [01:58] mrXX: I'm not sure. You might want to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic or #remote-exploit where it is more appropriate. Also, I'm certain that proxies only fool the websites, not the ISP. [01:58] Taim: but its not a problem related to the mouse model... it just worked fine before i reinstall [01:58] i only have one last question about ubuntu jaunty 9.04 does it uses pulseaudio by default? [01:58] !caps [01:58] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [01:58] luist_: Something must have changed then. [01:58] luist_: Outside of the install. Unless there was something you did custom after the install? [01:58] thanks leaf-sheep [01:59] ajavid; are you still alive? [01:59] Taim: well ill just wait for the update to finish... 250mb of packages must do something about it :P [01:59] no [01:59] mbeierl: gconf-editor [01:59] luist_: Let me know how it goes. I am still digging. [01:59] :) [02:00] luist_: expand apps [02:00] err [02:00] luist_: ignore that last. [02:00] mrXX: they won't be able to see what you're looking at, but there's still no disguising the fact that there will be encrypted traffic from your browser to a proxy site. If they have a policy against doing this, you'll still be in trouble.... [02:00] Is there a better nicer music player I remember using ragnorok or something once upon a time and it was alot easier than it is atm on here [02:00] mbeierl: expand apps, then nautilus, select desktop. [02:01] losha: whoops, I assumed /etc/rc.local was a folder where I could put scripts to be run. Just checked, it's not. I'm sorry, I didn't understand your suggestion. concurrency is not the right solution? huh? I read through the forums & found that cups doesn't start properly if concurrency=shell. === Ajr|AFK is now known as Ajr [02:01] mbeierl: check that "volumes_visible" is checked.

[02:01] i need help with configuring a wireless internet connection on my ubantu operated laptop, [02:01] Whats a girl to do [02:02] Taim: Thanks [02:02] Laurenkay1989: perhaps you were thinking of amarok? [02:03] Taim, can you help me with wireless network configuration? [02:03] helpme: I can only try. [02:03] helpme: So what's the scoop? [02:04] alazyworkaholic: ok, first, /etc/rc.local is a file (a shell script) which runs as the last thing during boot. Second, if concurrency=shell fixes the cups problem, that's ok, third: if you put sleep 30 in your /etc/rc.local your *entire* boot process will sleep for 30 seconds, which you probably don't want. [02:04] taim, well... i just cant seem to figure out how to do it... [02:05] is there a way in teminal to see if a port is open?

[02:08] Ok, anyone know how i can get the windows install thing to download 32bit ubuntu? It keeps trying to download 64bit [02:08] helpme: Here is the first reference: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/internet/C/connecting-wireless.html [02:08] losha: oh, ok. Definitely don't want that. concurrency=none is the default, concurrency=shell causes the cups problem. So how can I tell my computer to restart cups after a bit? [02:08] Taim my friend told me to run xubuntu, cause of how "light" it is and it dosent seem to follow the step by step things on the website [02:08] mrXX: TwonkyMedia is pretty sweet [02:09] its like TVersity [02:09] helpme: Ahhhhh....

[02:09] !ask | Goreonius [02:09] Goreonius: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:10] smart bot... [02:10] mrXX: I haven't tried that unfortunately. [02:10] Hey, guess what's shorter than "!ask | Goreonius"? [02:10] Stupid computer tricks... [02:10] "Sure!" [02:10] guys, is there a way to access ipod touch 3rd Gen from ubuntu?

I heard they have a virtual wifi adapter so you can do ad hoc and internet on the same adapter.. how is this possible on ubuntu.. cant find anything on the net... [02:11] alazyworkaholic: put the commands into a file called /etc/foo (for example). Then call /etc/foo from /etc/rc.local like this: /etc/foo & This will make it run in the background and allow the boot to proceed as normal. Meanwhile, in the background, /etc/foo will sleep for 30 seconds and then restart cups [02:11] helpme: There are some ways around this. I am not sure which is the best. I am sadly, very comfortable with network manager. [02:11] anyone really good with iptables? [02:11] sieken: You will either A) have to be root B) man sudo [02:11] helpme: to do this, you need to install network manager. [02:11] Goreonius, I think there are a couple of choices you have to make B4 the download...I'd have to look... [02:12] is there a way to jailbreak ipodtouch from ubuntu? [02:12] helpme: you can do that by opening a terminal and running "sudo apt-get install network-manager" and possibly "sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome" [02:12] does ubuntu by defaults gives pearl??? [02:12] Anyone know a decent minimum bitrate for a DVD in devede? its around 2020 kb/s now [02:13] okay. i'm a newbie at linux, so unfortunatly none of those options make too much sense to me. would you mind explaining it a bit more? [02:13] Bope, jsut looked, no options for Bit versions [02:13] mrXX: This is not the approriate place to ask for help jailbreaking. [02:13] Taim, but dont i need the internet to install?

You would do something like 'sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blah.conf' [02:20] thank you leaf-sheep [02:20] protip: use sudoedit [02:21] losha: I had another script that I wanted to have start (a UPS monitoring/automatic shutdown utility) & was told to put it in /etc/init.d. Besides that I was told to ln -s some things between /etc/init.d/ & /etc/rc.... It was more complicated. Is putting scripts in /init.d a good way too? [02:21] okay, thanks! [02:21] alazyworkaholic: when do you want to script to run? You can put keywords like @reboot in your user's (or root's) crontab [02:22] also, another question.. is there supposed to be a etc/modprobe.d/options? cause i can't find it.. [02:22] leaf-sheep, do you also know why perchance that i dont have an HDMI audio device listed, when I have my TV plugged into the HDMI port on my video card?... the video definitely works.... [02:22] Are there two different versioning schemes for Xorg? I really want 6.8 (since apparently I need it for my vid card) but it appears as though I've got 2.1.4? === Lars_G is now known as Lars_G_zombie [02:23] sieken: might help if we knew what you were trying to do [02:23] spiderworm: You probably need to configure sound. I would suggest for you to google "ubuntu, , hdmi sound" [02:23] alazyworkaholic: putting scripts in init.d is ok, but they still have the same problem i.e. any init script which sleeps will cause the entire boot process to pause while it's sleeping. Also, /etc/rc.local is a traditional place to put custom boot-time tweaks.... [02:23] Is there a way I can see what things I've installed since I first installed Ubuntu? I've installed and uninstalled a few different things, and I'm not sure I've completely wiped out everything that I was playing around with [02:23] inveratulo: These are scripts that should run just after ubuntu loads (like at the login window), & should depend on someone logging in. [02:23] Taim, it wants my password, but numbers wont show up [02:23] typo should not depend* [02:24] spiderworm: Also, some motherboard have BIO configuration for sound. Check and see. Depends on the machines. [02:24] leaf-sheep, ooh that is a good lead... thank you! [02:24] i have a static ip setup in my interfaces, but ubuntu always wants to pull the last used dynamic address. how do i clear it? [02:24] leaf-sheep, i bet thats my problem [02:24] alazyworkaholic: hmm I guess it depends on what the script actually does but from what you're saying I would just shove it in your user's autostart directory [02:25] trism: i was checking out the aspire one-kernel and it says i should make some changes in etc/modprobe.d/options [02:25] I want to do this http://news.techworld.com/mobile-wireless/4609/virtual-wi-fi-doubles-your-adapter/ on ubuntu.. any really smart people here? [02:25] hmm synaptic doesn't even show that many versions of Xorg? so I have to go off-roading so to speak to install 6.8? [02:26] losha: ok, it seems like /etc/rc.local sounds better. I'll put this into rc.local: /opt/sms_power_view/powerview start & (next line) /home/alan/Documents/Computer\ Files/scripts/fixcups.sh & SHould that work. [02:26] i have a little problem i have installed amsn 0.98 on ubuntu 9.04 ..... my router's port are opened correctly (6890 -6900 tcp/udp) but the port test on amsn is always negative ... firewalled [02:27] anyone can help me? [02:27] Taim, what is a sudo password? [02:27] helpme: it is your own username's password [02:27] I am looking for a post to have Ubuntu 9.10 recognize my external HDD [02:27] babele: make your server the dmz host for an easy fix [02:28] babele, i'd confirm that your router ports are open, you could use a site like http://canyouseeme.org/ to test with. best of luck. [02:28] babele: but that may not be all that safe either [02:28] helpme: it is the password you use when you log into your system. [02:28] i have a static ip setup in my interfaces, but ubuntu always wants to pull the last used dynamic address. how do i clear it? [02:28] inveratulo: it's just I want somethings to work whether or not I log in (maybe I turn on the computer just so that I can print from my laptop through printer sharing, or whatever) & also so I don't have to worry about doing the same thing for every user, since it's a shared computer. Startup Applications only makes things start when you start the computer, right? [02:28] alazyworkaholic: it should work. Note that you only need the & for the script which contains a 'sleep 30' to prevent it from pausing the boot process. You can also add debugging lines like 'echo running powerview now' etc. to rc.local to check that it runs correctly at boot time [02:29] does anyone know how to get ubuntu to recognize an external HDD? [02:29] jvargas105: 'plug it in' usually works for me [02:29] I toggled my grub, screwed it up, put the correct code back in place and it's still screwed up any help? [02:29] alazyworkaholic: I'm pretty sure the gnome startup app stuff works on a per-user basis. based on what you've said I would still insert the scripts as "@startup /path/to/my/script.sh" in root's crontab [02:29] no joy tried that [02:29] johnny05: man ifconfig ?

[02:30] Hey. this would probably be more appropriate in #fluxbuntu, but it's dead. I'm trying to install fluxbuntu from a USB drive, but when I enter the installation, it tries to mount the CDROM, and since I'm installing to a netbook, which doesn't have a CDROM for it to mount, I seem to be stuck. [02:30] I can nslookup just fine, but it doesn't work in either Opera or Firefox. [02:30] jvargas105: do a 'fdisk -l' to show physical volumes, your disk should show up there [02:30] jvargas105: usb? what's the end of dmesg say after you plug it in? [02:30] losha: Thanks, I'll take a look at that! [02:30] babele: if it works then at least you know the problem is your router config probably [02:30] Taim, it wont let me type anything, but its telling me i have to [02:30] babele: wouldn't suggest leaving server as dmz host though [02:30] helpme: it will type, but it just won't show your pw when you type it [02:30] helpme: That's OK. You won't see anything. [02:30] sieken: instead of using /etc/modprobe.d/options you can put the options into any file in modprobe.d ending in conf (perhaps /etc/modprobe.d/aspireone.conf) [02:30] I've seen forum posts about an IPv6 DNS issue (but I couldn't find workarounds), but it claimed slowness, not complete malfunction. [02:31] nothing [02:31] helpme: Just type your password. Unix does not typically include "****" when entering passwords. [02:31] I just get "Could not locate remove server" in my web browsers for most common URLs. [02:31] Anyone know anything about what the issue could be? [02:31] pulled the HDD out of a windows box it crashed trying to get my data off of it [02:31] Taim oh :P [02:31] jvargas105: you're sure that both the drive and the USB ports are functional? [02:32] Taim, it says i already have the newest version [02:32] until the other day it worked then I updated the version and stop working even if the ports are the same .... so do not think it's a software problem [02:32] yes it recognizes my USB jump drive and mounts no issues [02:32] Ok. [02:32] hey everyone...question if someone can help. On the phone with my brother who just installed 9.10 onto his only computer. His computer was asleep and when he woke up and clicked on his User name to log in it gives message "Unable to authenticate User" [02:32] helpme: So xubuntu has it installed.... [02:32] jvargas105: try a 'tail -f /var/log/messages' to actively watch kernel messages as you plug in your USB drive, it should give you some more info on what's going on [02:32] trism: ah, okay. so every .conf-file in modprobe.d is reviewed discarding of their names? [02:32] He's restarted his computer and still has the same problem [02:32] what would 1 use to test a server [02:32] any clues? [02:32] robysath: not sure what i should be looking for. i've tried ifdown, ifup. restarted the computer several times now. [02:32] Taim, yea, sorry i really didnt kno, this is my 1st day with Ubuntu actually on my computer [02:33] ok, actually, the fluxbuntu installer is based on the ubuntu installer anyway, so this should apply to people in here. i loaded the installer .iso to a usb drive, and when i try to install, it wants me to mount the cdrom drive. since i can't, i'm stuck [02:33] snuffy: what you want to test [02:33] is there any way to trick the ubuntu installer into thinking that the usb drive is a cd drive? [02:33] helpme: I am not sure what it may look like, but on your desktop, in the upper, right of your screen (panel), you may see what looks like two computers? [02:33] robysath, until the other day it worked then I updated the version and stop working even if the ports are the same .... so do not think it's a software problem [02:33] leaf-sheep, that seemed to do it, thank you, and if you would like to have my babies, the offer is on the table [02:33] lnknpk04_: reboot and pass init=/bin/sh to the boot parameters and then use passwd to set a new password [02:33] helpme: I am flying blind since I don't have xubuntu, but I might be able to figure it out... [02:33] Taim, "network connections"? [02:33] is no one else in the world having problems with ATI radeon drivers totally crashing with Ubuntu 9.10? [02:33] helpme: Yes.

[02:34] Hey guys, I have a bit of a problem: I installed Windows7, used it blah blah. Now I go to install Ubuntu 9.10, I install it as a partition on my other hard drive. Now, my computer doesn't boot to grub or anything, just straight into Win7 as if Ubuntu isn't even there, can I get any help? [02:34] Docteh, thanks.

Last night I was fooling around with wine, a program crashed and forced my desktop res down and when I put it back up everything looked completely different. all the icons were 'nicer' more detailed, the colour scheme changed slightly. It was much better, but when i booted up this morning it went back to normal [02:46] any idea what i did? I'm using karmic [02:46] helpme: sorry. I don't like being stumped... [02:46] Jeruvy: nah, thanks though. I'll just stop being lazy :) [02:46] robysath: hehe, ok then. [02:46] Arsin: yea thats the grub version 2 that im not familiar with, if you copy/pasted from somewhere else maybe the issue is with the root=(hd0,5) part? [02:46] Jeruvy: do you care to know what my problem is? maybe you have a better solution [02:47] thank you all for your help tonight [02:47] Docteh: Maybe? How would I check? [02:48] hey guys - Im getting this error : An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for evolution-alarm-notify. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly. - Any idea? [02:48] try editing the grub config interactively at the grub prompt?

[02:51] I'm trying to use the "usb startup disk creator". It can't format the USB drive. What's the deal? [02:51] karix: Probably you hit ctrl alt + or ctrl alt - [02:51] Docteh, oh, I meant - are there any particular software(s) in ubuntu used to automate backups? [02:51] other than of course manual cron etc etc [02:52] if i've compiled some source bits. i can obviously recompile without issue, correct? [02:52] Roasted: from what I can glean on your error it may be related to gnome-themes. Try removing any themes you're using. [02:52] !backup | codeshah [02:52] codeshah: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [02:52] oh thannks [02:52] jeruvy - what, really? I've used the same theme for the last 10 years. I wonder why it'd just magically start erroring out :/ [02:52] genii: thanks, what does that actually do? heh [02:52] karix: They cycle through available resolutions [02:53] genii: no it wasn't a res change [02:53] genii: the icons actually looked different === amit is now known as Guest38721 [02:53] karix: maybe change the color depth? [02:53] genii: the res was set to 1680x1050 already but this time when it went back up to it everything looked different, like i had turned on aero or something heh [02:53] Looked thru some old help files from 2007, couldnt figure it out, went and looked thru some packages and installed extra codecs [02:54] Roasted: I didn't say for sure ;) I looked your error and there is a bug one user states: Regarding the evolution issue, deleting ~/.gconfd/saved_state and (if it exists) ~/.gconfd/saved_state.tmp may fix the problem. You can also try with a new user and see if it happens too. If it doesn't then it's a problem with your user's profile. If you can reproduce this error with a new profile then don't hesitate to submit a new report. [02:54] anyone got any ideas? [02:54] h4theizzo: you've got a when, and a what you did [02:54] but i dont see a what you need help with [02:54] hehe [02:55] jeruvy - yeah, it's a weird problem. It doesn't just happen at a convenient time - it happens at random, long spaced intervals. I deleted that saved_state file so we'll see what happens! Thanks [02:55] just installed ubuntu 9.10 x64, mp3s are distorted [02:55] karix: If you have for instance available 640x480x256colors and 649x480x16 million colors and cycle between, you'll notice the difference even though resolution is same, just one has diferent amount of depth available [02:55] genii, docteh: hmm i dont think so i checked that this morning. for example, on the top bar on the right hand side where i has my user name at the moment.. just to the left of it is a grey icon that is a circle with a small vertical stroke through the top (an on button). but when it was looking nicer that was a green shaded button [02:55] kk i'll check the depth [02:55] Roasted: good luck, follow up if it continues. [02:55] the sounds are all distorted, and even the movies sounds etc, some play super fast like the mp3 was only a few seconds long, others play thru the correct time but are just distorted [02:55] h4theizzo: ah your first line didn't go through [02:55] anyone knows if pulseaudio is installed by default in ubuntu 9.04 jaunty [02:56] I need help with an install problem, anyone listening? [02:56] h4theizzo: blame pulse audio [02:56] lol [02:56] pirofwil: please ask a more specific question [02:56] pulse audio is awful [02:56] well, i had 9.04 installed earlier and it was fine, i just threw on 9.10 x64 and the problem came about [02:56] pulseaudio makes visual effects crash [02:57] h4theizzo [02:57] genii: its definately set ti 16million [02:57] try lowering it [02:57] hey everybody, does the ubuntu-restricted-extras work fine under ubuntu 9.10 64 bits? [02:57] ? [02:58] h4theizzo: that's weird. [02:58] you mean your hear a *bof* every time you open an audio file [02:58] I installed 9.1 from a usb stick and it said it was installed restricted drivers for my video card and my system boots and then has me log in and has the [37.139882] error intel AES-NI instructions are not detected [02:58] slasher01, it has for me [02:58] yeah, it was a clean install too. aerora, i hear that when i login. i hear distorted mp3s when i try to play them [02:58] or the mp3 hisself is disorted [02:58] rosebj: so no problems with the 32 bits flash [02:59] slasher01, I haven't heard of any [02:59] oh ok, thanks [02:59] slasher01: isn't ubuntu-restricted-extras a class of packages like flash, closed source drivers, nasa secrets etc etc? [02:59] Docteh, says i need to restart xserver is there an easy way to do that without rebooting? [02:59] h4theizzo: you installed restricted extras for ubuntu? [02:59] docteh, kind of lol [02:59] dont think so? [02:59] Docteh: it is. minus the nasa stuff ;) [02:59] it was just a fresh install, tried playing songs nad nothing... [02:59] anyone know of the best place to look for a solution to the problem? [02:59] karix: well it shuts down the graphical programs, so for someone that runs just gui apps thats kinda like rebooting [03:00] try that;) [03:00] maybe it helps [03:00] Docteh, yep i get that is there an easy way to do it without actually rebooting though heh [03:00] but the *bof* is known by me i had it in every ubuntu but it cant harm your speakers but if you find a solution for the bofs tell me;) [03:00] pirofwil: google that weird error? [03:00] aerora, i dont see any "restricted" stuff in the repositories anymore [03:00] karix: run that wine app and crash it [03:00] did that [03:00] or try xrandr [03:00] Docteh, thanks so much for the help. We were able to get the password reset. Kind of scary though that it's that easy to reset a user's password [03:01] any protection one could take against the passwd command? [03:01] ur a karmix user? [03:01] docteh, what is the command? [03:01] sudo xrandr? [03:01] lnknpk04_: the grub version 1 configuration has a place where you can password protect things [03:01] xrandr is for karix to try i got nothing on your problem [03:02] if yes at the ubuntu software center you can instal ubuntu restricted extras [03:02] /j pclos [03:02] Docteh, cheers, I'll try that [03:03] if that doesnt help try GSstreamer extra plugins [03:03] lnknpk04_: you can block someone from booting the computer with init=/bin/sh but cant block after that because you're running as root [03:04] lnknpk04_: well you could fiddle with the initrd, but someone can still boot off of a usb,cd,floppy,etc chroot in to the partition and set passwords that way [03:04] I'm trying to pivot-root install amd64 ubuntu on a 32-bit ubuntu server I have only SSH access to. I formatted another partition, mounted it; doing debootstrap --arch=amd64 karmic /mnt/newbuntu http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu; installs the packages but understandably fails on the pivot-root part, because I'm running a 32-bit distro. Any suggestions on how to swap to a 64-bit kernel so I can do the rest? Note I don't have access to CD driv [03:04] es or a physical console [03:05] This is why we have racks with locks [03:05] Docteh, good point, wasnt thinking about the fact I was in as root [03:05] Is there a way I can make an unprivilaged 'guest' account on Ubuntu Karmic that doesn't require a password? [03:05] At some point you have to physically protect your box [03:05] so i search for the error [37.139882] intel aes-NI instructions are not detected [03:06] Crast: got any docs or howtos on what you're doing? [03:06] I've never heard of a pivot_root install [03:06] Docteh: there are a few, though a bit incomplete; most assume you're doing it from a 64-bit livecd or rescue distro [03:06] hmmmm [03:06] Docteh: I'm sort of borrowing from multiple howtos at once, one of them is this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OverSSH [03:07] pirofwill: did you see: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=77269 arch linux forums have saved my bacon numerous times [03:07] ah [03:07] Docteh: I can say I am a rather competent linux user, I've successfully installed distros in chroots before, but I've never tried to go from x86 to x86_64 and understandably it's complex [03:07] well [03:08] Docteh: I don't feel like building my own kernel, though I know how; I was hoping there was a command I could use to grab me a 64-bit kernel [03:08] can you run 32bit glibc with a 64bit kernel? [03:08] uh [03:08] Crast: chroot into your debootstrap [03:08] Docteh: you can with the 32-on-64 libs installed, I forget what they're called [03:08] and then apt-get yourself one [03:08] well i mean boot 64bit kernel and use the 32bit distro [03:08] !info ia32-libs [03:08] Docteh: I can't chroot into it, because running any binaries including /bin/bash fails (due to having a 32-bit kernel); seems a chicken and egg [03:08] like, directly [03:08] ohhhhhhh [03:08] hello i have problem i have ubuntu 9.04 and i cant mount any flash disk.. when i connect it i cant work with it.. any ideas pls? [03:08] Package ia32-libs does not exist in karmic [03:09] How can I make, in Ubuntu Karmic, an unprivilaged 'guest' account that doesn't require a password? [03:09] Docteh: I'm considering finding a way to trick sources.list into letting me install the 64-bit kernel, that or manually extracting the .deb file and placing them in /boot [03:09] Crast: you can always surf packages.ubuntu.com for what you want, and then install it or convert to tgz and take stuff out [03:09] how underpriviledged are we talking here [03:10] hello everyone. I want to take my system as I have it configured with all the packages on it and so on and create a backup of it. Is there a way to create an image of my system on a usb stick that I can boot from should I ever need to install it elsewhere? [03:10] there us an unpriviledged option in the 'make user' GUI [03:10] Docteh: which are the packages I need to get kernel, modules, and the initrd for that kernel? [03:10] Crast: apt-get install alien first [03:10] uh linux-image? i have to look it up every time [03:10] dpkg-query time it is, then [03:10] I'd recommend testing this in a vm or locally first though [03:11] gdiz: I believe you're looking for remastersys [03:11] linux-image-generic [03:11] Any body have a clue if/what bug may prevent vlc controls from showing? When I open vlc the video plays but I get no controls or right click context menu. [03:11] Docteh: yeah I will, as failure will be expensive (gotta pay for a distro reinstall or a console attachment) [03:12] inveratulo: what does remastersys do? [03:12] Hello..I have 9.10 running in parallels on my macbook. Any way for me to get a 16:9 display? I'm only getting 4:3.. [03:12] gdiz: you can use something like PartImage to clone the system. This is what I do in case of dosaster and can be restore quite easily. Get a System Rescue CD livecd [03:12] PorkSoda, have you done "Complete Remove" on VLC and Reinstall? [03:12] Docteh: but then, when my organization is paying $300+ a month per server for these beefy DB boxes, the hosting company should've just put a 64-bit distro to begin with, then it'd be a non-issue [03:12] hello i have problem i have ubuntu 9.04 and i cant mount any flash disk.. when i connect it i cant work with it(its not shown like new connected disk on desktop).. any ideas pls? [03:12] gdiz: http://sysresccd.org [03:12] LordHawke13, I have yes [03:12] PorkSoda, Hmm. . . ? [03:13] Anyone know if nautlius will let me put like ssh://user@host and click that file to connect to that host? [03:13] Also -- is there anything like quicksilver (os x) for linux? [03:14] at the start up i get two options for ubuntu i.e ubuntu 9.04 ,kernel 2.6.28-16-generic and 2.6.28-11-generic..................what does its signify ....and how to fix it?? [03:14] gdiz: remastersys basically just takes your current ubuntu install and creates a liveCD from it. If all you are wanting to do is backup particular filesystems, then I would go with partimage or dd [03:14] imperfect-: gnome-do re: quicksilver [03:14] dd copies the entire disk, doesn't it? [03:14] PartImage copies only the used portion of the disk [03:14] ardchoille: depends on what you tell it to copy [03:14] yoasif: Stable? [03:14] it copies as much as you tell it to, it copy bit for bit, unused, whatever [03:15] Hello..I have 9.10 running in parallels on my macbook. Any way for me to get a 16:9 display? I'm only getting 4:3.. [03:15] ok [03:15] its good for boot records and the like [03:15] imperfect-: you should be able to use places to add a connection [03:15] ardchoille: dd is a simpler tool than PartImage, use whatever you need to? [03:15] imperfect-: yeah [03:15] thank you both I appreciate it [03:15] Okay, Just picked up an ATI USB TV Wonder 600. Any hope it this working in linux? I haven't found much promissing through google. [03:15] Docteh: good advice :) [03:16] pddean: google usually finds stuff if its out there [03:16] search for the usb id? [03:16] Docteh, yeah I know. Most of what I saw was from over a year ago. Lots of questions, very few answers. [03:17] you could always plug it in and see what dmesg says [03:17] anyone know what the gold e17 theme was called? [03:17] i cant find it anywhere [03:17] i installed ubunto but now need flashplayers the .deb i found dont work [03:17] I directly connected my Ubuntu notebook to my cable modem via ethernet. ifconfig says eth0 is up. ping 4.2.2.1 gave me "network unreachable". I first had to select "Auto eth0" from the network panel icon menu - after that it suddenly worked. What exactly did this do? How can I do this using a terminal only? [03:18] Docteh, I did. It knows what it is. I even found the LinuxTv page with the firmware drivers. I am getting some i2c erros now though. I also have no idea what app to use. TvTime doesn't know it exists. [03:18] deacon> flash in in the repo, use the pkg installer [03:18] I have Intel 82801JI HD audio, but since switching to 9.10 there is no sound, no cards listed under hardware in sound preferences, and alsa doesn't see any sound cards at all. Any ideas? [03:19] binrapt: your system is probably configured to let network-manager handle your connections. [03:19] repo? whats that? [03:19] pddean: does it provide any dev files? [03:19] inveratulo err so the ifconfig output is irrelevant? [03:19] binrapt: sudo ifconfig eth0 up [03:19] Docteh, yep, /dev/video1 and /dev/vbi0 [03:19] deacon> use the software center. in ubuntu you do not have to go out and find software [03:19] kingfisher: make sure in kpackage you have the check boxes for source code and restriceted checked or it might not find the devices under hardware manager [03:19] epinky but ifconfig already showed it as up [03:20] binrapt: not irrelevant per se, but it is probably just informational, and [03:20] Yet it didn't work until I used network-manager [03:20] I really wonder why [03:20] Crast: i appear to have successfully started up a 64bit kernel with a 32bit / [03:20] oh cool thanks macken [03:20] The ifconfig is identical, except now it has an IPv4 [03:20] pddean: open it up in mplayer, then you just need to find something to change channels [03:20] For eth0 [03:20] binrapt, eth0 is my wired connection [03:21] in network manager [03:21] deacon> use terminall and type sudo apt=get install synaptic [03:21] Same here, thiebaude [03:21] then use synaptic to install flash. [03:21] Docteh, I tried vlc. not sure what the audio device is though. What do I need for the channels? [03:21] I am asking because I am suddenly having problems with my Debian box being unable to use the cable modem apparently [03:21] thats why it worked for him, he plugged an ethernet cable in [03:21] It used to work fine as the router hm [03:22] binrapt: cat /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf and you'll probably see something like [ifupdown] managed=true [03:22] deacon> sorry that is sudo apt-get install synaptic [03:22] binrapt, oic [03:22] lol [03:22] I already thought my cable modem was broken :(( [03:22] quit using it to d/l goat pron [03:23] So I wondered if Ubuntu did something special on eth0 which Debian didn't do to make it work hm [03:23] where does gnome-screenshot save its fiel and what directory / filename? [03:23] *WB(Travis)WB* - <+Travis> Wait... Thundercross actually chats? You mean he isn't just a bot that says something clever whenever Zips joins the chat? [03:23] Hello [03:23] ifconfig up should basically suffice? [03:24] ifconfig eth0 up [03:24] Can someone help me get my XP partiton to load? [03:24] yes it will [03:24] pddean: thats out of what i can guess, some of the hauppauge stuff provides mpeg2 frames complete with audio though === stone_ is now known as help [03:25] Very well, I shall try again === help is now known as stone_ [03:25] can someone explain, why does ubuntu only allow the largest resolution for my monitor. If I change it, the screen gets messed up [03:25] Docteh, gotch. I was hoping that since this had been out for so long it would play nice. Guess I forgot it was still an ATI. [03:25] hey guys, I was wondering if any one knew off hand how the cpu/gpu support was for VIA chips/igps in 9.10 [03:26] Docteh: I got my Ubuntu partiton to boot, now I'm trying to figure out what is going on with my XP partition, I get this when I try to mount it http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/m65565495 [03:26] !hardware [03:26] 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 [03:26] hello i have problem i have ubuntu 9.04 and i cant mount any flash disk.. when i connect it i cant work with it(its not shown like new connected disk on desktop).. any ideas pls?

Any comments or suggestions? [03:29] Docteh: What happened was, XP partition, defragged it a week or so ago, used gParted to resize a partition (VIA a live cd), then the installer installed and now it is unbootable [03:29] finsyourfriend: This is the place, what is your real question? [03:29] no no ask the question that you need answered? like wheres the beef [03:29] scottandmonique: fdisk -l /dev/sdb [03:29] scottandmonique: no i can't.. actually i was trying to acces to ubuntu shared paths via windows xp [03:29] arsin: did it ever boot properly into windows after you gparted?

No system sounds or application sounds; i.e. YouTube, Hulu etc. [03:30] Just installed latest version of Ubuntu on HP Pavillion with XP Professional and don't get the dual boot menu on restart. Any comments or suggestions? [03:30] Docteh: I managed to extract the linux-image, but there's no initrd in there; and the initrd's I see in /boot appear to not belong to a package; so I presume they are generated somehow; how vital are initrd's to booting ubuntu? [03:30] scottandmonique: ok === atom_ is now known as Guest88601 [03:30] Crast: very [03:30] sec, phone [03:30] finsyourfriend: Right click the volume icon and go to prefrences, see if it is outputting to the right card/line out [03:30] zuke: Can you pastebin the output from "sudo update-grub" ?

What's the easiest way of doing this? [03:31] Arsin: you're probably boned. [03:32] inveratulo: Bah. Really? No way I can at least even recover data? [03:32] Crast: the tools to make it are in your distro already [03:32] inveratulo: it shows me that something is wrong with Disk /dev/sdc1 [03:32] is just that i screwed up my smb.conf file, i was trying to set it up with gadmin samba and it moved all the parameters of the file [03:32] Crast: install the package the the i386 install and then mkinitrd? === stone_ is now known as oneunder [03:32] Arsin: I can't think of a *nix utility that can help you recover your ntfs partition. might be some microsoft utilities out there [03:32] can yo show me a pastebin of your smb.conf scottandmonique [03:32] It's set to VIA 8237, which is a chipset, I believe.

[03:38] But yea.. If I install ubuuntu I can install it ALONG with Windaz.. and i can always uninstall ubuntu right? [03:38] I keep changing the permissions on a folder so that I can access it but something keeps changing it back to no access OVER AND OVER AND OVER... I have done, chown, chmod and even used the graphical approach but nothing makes the permissions stick. Someone please help me, it's really beginning to piss me off. [03:38] omedlomis, correct [03:38] omedlomis: if its your first time with linux I recommend not installing it on your main computer, try to find an older pc to play around with === Guest30630 is now known as CorranH [03:38] i need to lrn [03:38] scottandmonique: no, i didn't... my smb.conf file is completly transformed [03:38] as long as it wont override windows and i can unintall [03:38] im good [03:38] anyone know?

[03:40] inveratulo: its in czech.. is it problem?:( [03:40] ok during installation [03:40] it tells me i alrady have a parition mounted on /dev/sda [03:40] i assume thats windows [03:40] i want to click NO.. right [03:41] like.. I DONT want the installer to unmount that.. [03:41] right [03:41] when clicking a link on one workspace, it will open up in firefox (which is located on another workspace) but not switch over to that workspace, how do I configure it so that when I click on a link and it opens up another window, it will automatically switch to that active workspace? [03:41] omedlomis, dont use the enter key so much, its hard to read your posts [03:42] in other words I want to be switched over to any workspace in which an app is active... so if I open a new app, but it is placed on another workspace, it should switch over to that [03:42] It told me I already have a parition mounted on /dev/sda, which I assume is my Windows parition, I want to select no, meaning I DON'T want the Installer to unmount that parition [03:42] omedlomis, I suggest you take a look at the guide I linked you [03:42] mefiiik: hehe post it anyway lemme see if i can make ends of it [03:42] Docteh: Hey Docteh. You got any idea how I'd make a passwordless unpriviledged 'guest' account? [03:42] mefiiik: plug it in, wait 10 seconds then the two commands from earlier [03:43] welll bazhang can you answer my question? [03:43] I think it's quite a simple question.. just one I don't know the answer too [03:43] inveratulo:ok [03:43] ubuntu9.10 studio rooks jusk got win 7 u have not installed yet [03:43] anyone have a gateway FX [03:43] It told me I already have a parition mounted on /dev/sda, which I assume is my Windows parition, I want to select no, meaning I DON'T want the Installer to unmount that parition [03:43] that can still make the recovery cd [03:43] omedlomis: if you're using the GUI installer it should tell you what's installedon each partition [03:43] you know what I'm just going to do it [03:43] if i end up losing vista [03:43] you all will PAY [03:44] boxee + karmic? [03:44] omedlomis: if you lose vista you will not have lost much tbh. fyi it will detect win7 bootloader [03:44] omedlomis, I suggest you slow down and read up on it. [03:44] omedlomis, I gave you a very good guide to peruse, you should first do so. [03:45] i just installed a gnome panel applet that lets you use it as a title bar for any app your running so insted of clickin then corner of the window to minamise it you do it in the panel "to save space" is there a way to take off the normal close/minamise bar to save room [03:45] god i wish i had a channel this nice when i started to learn gentoo many many years ago [03:45] omedlomis work with a clean drive no personal data [03:45] i can't [03:45] omedlomis, you should be thankful if you loose vista [03:45] do you think if I could that I wouldnt?

[03:46] anyone have a gateway fx notebook [03:46] I want to select Specify Paritions Manually (advanced) right? [03:46] omedlomis, not really , especially if you dont know what you are doing [03:46] yes are you going to wipe vista [03:46] omedlomis: yes but don't use ALL the free space... if you're just playing around give yourself 15-30 gb [03:46] i DO NOT WANT TO WIP VISTA [03:46] inveratulo: http://pastebin.com/m1a1686f6 hope u could read it maybe i can little bit translate it:D [03:46] root / and swp [03:46] amity the other option says to erase both my HDD's and install ubuntu there.. [03:47] omedlomis, use the guided installer [03:47] does ubuntu NBR have a dedicated IRC channel? [03:47] Guest88601, this is it [03:47] k [03:47] I have a blank harddrive and I'm installing ubuntu. when I install it will it let me install it on a partion so its the only thing on there? and if so how big should i make it if I only want the OS on there? [03:47] thnx [03:47] mefiiik: what was your original issue? I have since forgotten heh. Looks like your usb drive is formatted Fat32 [03:48] http://it.slashdot.org/story/09/11/16/0113249/The-First-Windows-7-Zero-Day-Exploit [03:48] nathanial, 10GB [03:48] test34, dont paste that here [03:48] lol [03:48] inveratulo: when i connect that device its not shown on my desktop and i cant work with it [03:48] Nathania: It will. Choose use entire harddisk or select pick partitions manually. When you do, check the "format" box. [03:49] inveratulo: linux can work with FAT32?:D [03:49] bazhang, I didn't paste it, I used dragon dictate [03:49] mefiiik: Work with? Install on or read? [03:49] mefiiik: paste your 'df -h' [03:49] test34, it does not matter it has nothing to with ubuntu support. [03:49] test34, be careful... [03:49] LordHawke13: Will I have to partion it before I install? or will unbuntu provide a tool for me to do so [03:49] Arsin, Read. [03:49] okay, My printer usually works fine but every once in a while it will consistently say "may not be connected" [03:49] when you get to the install on entire hard drive page say install along side existing OS and drag the bar at the bottom [03:49] It is connected, i have tried re-setting pu the printer [03:49] up* [03:50] Nathanial, You could. Not if it's already partitioned. . . [03:50] Arsin: read.. its psp so i want copy files from/to it [03:50] are you installing? [03:50] ubuntu provides it [03:50] please is there a liberary player like itunes for linux [03:50] Nathanial, You don't have to if it's already parted. But you could if you wanted too. . . [03:50] mefiiik: also i'm curious, does ubuntu mount any other volumes to the desktop? other usb keys? CD-ROMs? [03:50] thanks much macken [03:51] LordHawke13: Its not already done. I just needed to find out if I had to before the install. I wanted to have the data seperate [03:51] Nathanial, I'd go the entire hardidsk because Ubuntu's all you need and you can always resize. . . [03:51] inveratulo: CD/DVD yes also USB modem.. but not flash disks and this psp:( [03:51] tangerine [03:51] music server using DAAP [03:52] LordHawke13: Yes but if I have to reinstall I don't want to lose the data... Especailly if I'm successful in making this into a file server like I want. [03:52] rhythmbox [03:52] music player and organizer for GNOME [03:52] Nathanial, you may consider making a separate home partition then [03:52] mefiiik: what version of ubuntu? which window manageR? [03:52] inveratulo:http://pastebin.com/m5a83c504 [03:53] get to the swap [03:53] Nathanial, If you have to reinstall, the partitioner on the live cd can resize your original partition to make room. [03:53] If I wanted to get ndiswrapper, but I was offline, what would I do? === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [03:54] bazhang: What would that do.... I haven't partioned before, so please excuse my ignorance [03:54] omedlomis, if you have the phone you could have someone tell you the source code [03:54] Nathanial, you're not risking anything by going all in. Shrinking it before reinstall is an option. [03:54] inveratulo: its 9.04... window manager? what do you mean by that?... [03:54] i would like compiz to switch me to my workspace whenever an application and that workspace requires attention, how do i do this? [03:55] mefiiik: like xfce, or something other than gnome [03:55] inveratulo: no i am using just gnome [03:55] xfce and gnome are deesktop environments, not window managers [03:55] Hi, I'd like to build a ubuntu machine, I want to put mythtv on it, and hoping to do HDMI output,, is that possible? Any suggestions for video cards to avoid? [03:55] LordHawke13: I see. After I install I can have the personal files saved on the other partion right? so the OS is seperate [03:55] mefiiik, In 9.04, Nautilus is probably your Window Manager. [03:56] nautilus is a file manager, gnome uses metacity for its window manager [03:56] Nathanial, Yeah. Just shrink the original and install to a new partition and pull the files from the old to the new. I had to do it when I screwed up the bootloader like a dumbass. [03:57] what is the easiest way to add a font to open office? I can't seem to get permissions to actually copy it to the appropriate folder [03:58] fiberfolly, are you folwing a tutorial of some sort? [03:58] LordHawke13: Oh ok, that makes sense. Thanks [03:58] Nathanial, Say I installed 9.10 to the entire disk and janked it up. I can put 9.04 live cd in and shrink the 9.10 partition to make room for 9.04. I can then boot to 9.04 and puul my files from 9.10 before canning it. [03:58] jonz: No, trying to follow what I am finding on the ubuntu forums [03:59] LordHawke13, sweet === david is now known as Guest9875 [03:59] fiberfolly: are you looking for microsoft fonts? any in particular, is what i mean, that you're looking for ? [03:59] Nathanial, See. No risks. I'd like to see Windows do it. All I've ever seen is "DELETE" and "MAKE NEW" [03:59] Nathanial, LAWL'z!! [04:00] jonz: No I have a special font someone made to make knitting charts that I want to install [04:00] haha, yeah [04:00] How can I install kde 4.3.3 in ubuntu karmic? [04:00] mefiiik: I'm at a loss then, you could try install gnome-volume-manager but all this stuff should work right out of the box. the sure fire method would be to execute the mount yourself e.g. mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/path/folder [04:00] jonz: The website I got it from is by a ubuntu user [04:00] jodi25: if it's not in the repos, you'll have to compile it [04:01] is there a source for it? [04:01] Nathanial, You probably wouldn't know how to make a user without a password, would you? Like an unprivilidged 'guest' account? [04:01] inveratulo: ok i will try it.. thanks for help:) [04:01] GL! [04:01] fiberfolly: the first forum i just found says that fonts are system-specific and not openoffice-specific. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197830 - i'm not at my machine, so i can't do this, but go to nautilus (your file manager) and hit ctrl+L and type fonts:/// [04:01] jodi25: not sure about 4.3.3, try the kde.org site [04:01] ok thank you [04:02] Night, all!! [04:02] jonz: iirc fonts:/// doesn't work anymore [04:02] the fonts are kept in /usr/share/fonts [04:02] jonz: not sure how to go to my file manager [04:02] I simply copied mine to that dir and they worked [04:02] fiberfolly, ubuntu ver? [04:02] Vids from Apple play sound and video. Vids from Youtube play just video, no sound. System sounds play, Flash installed, Ubuntu restricted extras installed, CD's play, so what's missing? [04:03] ardchoille: did you need admin privelege? [04:03] how do I change the menu layout in the panel to the debian layout? [04:03] jonz: yes, since /usr/share/fonts is a system dir [04:03] hi, i just physicaly instaled a 1.5TB hdd into my system ... how do i find and partition it in ubuntu please? [04:03] when I edit the menu and check mark debian it doesn't work [04:03] i've currently booted to the startup cd ... but i dont want to instal to this hdd [04:03] guys.. kind of off-topic but still on-topic [04:03] Interesting problem I'm having... [04:03] an1 good with joomla? [04:03] actually nvm [04:03] logikos: "sudo fdisk -l" to see if it detect the 1.5TB. [04:03] finsyourfriend: did you try changing pulseaudio to alsa? [04:04] kostkon: Jaunty [04:04] okay, then fiberfolly - that's your answer: you need administrator priveleges to put the new font in the proper irectory (ardchiolle says /usr/share/fonts/) [04:04] Hi, I'd like to build a ubuntu machine, I want to put mythtv on it, and hoping to do HDMI output,, is that possible? Any suggestions for video cards to avoid? [04:04] logikos: I suppose you want gparted [04:04] Yes. No joy. [04:04] i was wondering [04:04] joomla_user_: what do you need? [04:04] fiberfolly, you can put in it your .fonts folder [04:04] how to recover deleted files from specific directory only can any one help me [04:04] shady-sheep: ty, i'll try that then come back [04:04] how do i add a terminal command as an autostarted sorta thing? [04:05] jonz: I know i need adminstrator priveleges, but I can't seem to find a way to get them [04:05] kostkon: that will work, but won't be system-0wide [04:05] *wide [04:05] ardchoille, yeah [04:05] inveratulo: so it work i use "mount /dev/sdc1 /media/ and finally i can work with it... THANK YOU very much!!!:) [04:05] finsyourfriend: try rebooting [04:05] fiberfolly: try going to your command line: gtk-sudo nautilus [04:05] !sudo | fiberfolly [04:05] fiberfolly: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [04:05] fiberfolly, do you have more that one user on your system? [04:05] jonz: Thank you, will try that [04:05] mefiiik: You're welcome. If you get time try to play around with the gnome-volume-manager, i think it will have some granular controls that will automount stuff for you [04:06] fiberfolly - so you are aware of the dangers of what you'll be doing: also read what ubottu said [04:06] jonz: fiberfolly it's gksudo [04:06] kostkon: No, I am the only user [04:06] ardchoille: gksudo, thanks [04:06] fiberfolly, ok [04:06] inveratulo: ok i will try it:) [04:06] how do i add a terminal command as an autostarted sorta thing? [04:06] do any one know how to reocver delted files from specific directory only [04:06] lololol: can you elaborate on that? [04:06] <^c|0ud^> Can anyone help me with an init.d script issue, I can run the script when I login but it won't autostart when PC turns on [04:06] mefiiik: oh and you might want to make a more specific directory to mount it to. mounting directly to /media/ isn't good practice :-P [04:06] make a batch file [04:07] use the *.* command [04:07] make it execute once it gets into the file system [04:07] you know, for example, i know how to make an application autostart, like autostarting lxpanel in openbox [04:07] but this wont start up terminal commands [04:07] lololol, system → prefs → sessions or on 9.10 system → prefs → startup applications or something like that [04:07] lololol: System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications [04:07] like sudo blah blah [04:07] is there a xmodmap file that ubuntu reads from, when configuring a newly connected keyboard? [04:07] I am trying to install an app from source, I have run configure and get an error saying that gtk+-2.0.pc wasn't found, I have tried apt-file search gtk+-2.0.pc. That picks nothing up, am I doing something wrong? [04:08] thanks, I will read the link ubottu sent. I appreciate all help. [04:08] shady-sheep: when i did the fdisk -l it saw the disk, and said it had no partitions (which is correct) when i ran gparted it said it cant open /dev/sdb because it had an invalid label?

I know you want gparted because it's GUI partition editor. [04:08] because its an application meant to be run in terminal [04:08] duh? [04:09] logikos: You should need to format it first before you can label it. [04:09] lololol: I see. Good luck with your problem then [04:09] i dont care if its gui or not .. is there a cli editor? [04:09] it says it cant open it because it has an unreciganized lable [04:09] is there a way to set a new label [04:09] fuck [04:09] there should be a way to make a script [04:09] how do you formate a drive thats not even partitioned [04:09] lololol: go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications make a new command and use something like: sh -c "gedit /file" [04:09] like a batch script on windows [04:09] that makes no sence [04:09] sup [04:09] ubuntu sucks [04:10] hah [04:10] ubuntu suxs [04:10] lol [04:10] UbuntuSucks, wrong channel for you then [04:10] ardchoille: elaborate [04:10] can anyone tell me how to resolve a missing package that is needed to install from source [04:10] nah ubuntu sucks [04:10] thats the bottom line [04:10] UbuntuSucks, please desist [04:10] nah [04:10] ban me [04:10] Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

[04:18] joshritger, sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 [04:18] joshritger, then run $ ./configure again [04:18] <^c|0ud^> inveratulo: once I am in there how do I enter my scripts [04:19] xim_: syriu: edit menus ? see if it is just not checked? [04:19] <^c|0ud^> they are 2 scripts myihome and sabnzbdplus [04:19] syrius: I think you need the menu package from the repos, open a terminal and run: apt-cache search debian | grep menu [04:19] syrius: right click applications > edit menus .. Debian drop down is still there, unchecked [04:19] <_ged> gmake ang make are the the same am i right? [04:19] billybigrigger: I get the same error [04:19] ^c|0ud^: ah.. well the assumption here is that you know where your scripts reside. for sabnzbdplus and stuff I would just add them to my Startup Applications [04:20] !cookie | bazhang [04:20] how does one get the dom inspector for firefox? [04:20] joshritger, what are you compiling? [04:20] bazhang: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [04:20] ^c|0ud^: system -> pref -> startup applications [04:20] (j amistad [04:20] hp dv6000 built in webcam sometimes on sometimes off, fix? [04:20] <^c|0ud^> yeap I knew that ok that is much easier Idea thx lol [04:21] bastidrazor I know how to do that [04:21] panfist: isn't that firebug? [04:21] but it doesn't work [04:21] it is empty [04:21] it is a small app called clearbox, a program for creating clearbox metacity themes. I have used it in the past, but with 64bit hardy I can't get it to install [04:21] you need to regenerate the menu list some how [04:21] it always fails at configure [04:21] i have no idea, i just know this guide wants me to use tools > dom inspector and it's not there, i can get it with windows through a custom install...i will check out firebug [04:21] is there a command that flushes IO? [04:21] since i upgraded to karmic, my sound has done this wierd thing where its like the drivers reload every time a sound is played, whenever i get a pidgin message, it makes a static pop like its turning the sound on and there is like a 2 second delay and then the sound. any ideas? [04:21] <^c|0ud^> do I just do /etc/init.d/myihome start? [04:21] <^c|0ud^> in the command area? [04:21] joshritger, got a link to the site for me? [04:22] xim_, w8, i have a url for you [04:22] hey all, trying to figure out why my ubuntu boxes aren't reading data cds [04:22] any ideas? [04:22] ^c|0ud^: that should work [04:22] syrius: if nothing is there then nothing is installed that is supposed to be there. [04:22] kostkon lol the same url u gave me [04:22] billybigrigger: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Clearbox?content=25060 [04:22] <^c|0ud^> ok thx [04:22] kostkon, k [04:22] Envy, lol [04:22] joshritger, also, i highly suggest you start typing answers/replies to the person in here :) ie, billbigrigger, that way the person knows you replied, as im not just sitting here talking to you :) your question might missed [04:22] bastidrazor you don't understand [04:22] xim_, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/442463/comments/4 [04:23] syrius: apparently. [04:23] syrius: As I said before, if you're talking about the "Debian" labeled menu item in the menu editor, you cannot enable an empty menu [04:23] I am talking about the debian menu layout style [04:23] syrius: I think you need the menu package for that [04:23] yes I know that ardchoille [04:23] did you install the menu package? [04:23] billybigrigger: sorry, I forget from time to time, but I have used the same source files in the past, with I believe hardy 32bit, and now I am using hardy 64bit [04:24] !info menu | syrius [04:24] syrius: menu (source: menu): generates programs menu for all menu-aware applications.

Version 2.1.41ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 427 kB, installed size 1940 kB === nevets04 is now known as nevets04|a [04:25] ardchoille that is already installed [04:25] im doing something kinda wierd with qemu, im emulating my usb drive as hda, the command is "qemu /dev/sdb", but it seems to have stale data inside the drive.. [04:25] whats the best app for dockin apps in the gnome panel dockbar dockbarx docker [04:25] since i updated from 8.04 to 9.10 i'm having problems with my internal webcam of my laptop, a "hp dv6000" help?

[04:26] billybigrigger: will try [04:26] 9.04 [04:26] going to upgrade [04:26] joshritger, whoever wrote this app sucks, they have a 0 byte README and INSTALL doesn´t list requirements to compile :) [04:26] just haven't backuped yet [04:26] anyone know anything about pykaraoke [04:26] ? [04:26] joshritger, fyi, it won´t compile on a clean karmic system either :) [04:27] music_freak: when you get a good karaoke program going give me a nudge....i need one and know how to work it for this friday XP [04:27] billybigrigger: that didn't work either, I guess the app must be bad or something, I know I used it in the past, but oh well I can live without it. [04:27] joshritger, maybe try libgtk2.0-dev [04:28] i like pykaraoke alot... i don't know how to keep the screen position the same between each song tho [04:28] a pause feature would be nice also [04:28] bump********since i updated from 8.04 to 9.10 i'm having problems with my internal webcam of my laptop, a "hp dv6000" help? [04:28] joshritger, You need to install libgtk2.0-dev. It has the header files that your source is looking for to compile. [04:29] billybigrigger: will try, it will take a min or two, my internet is slow [04:29] joshritger, fair enough, let me know how it works [04:29] Envy: Silent_Echo just got his webcam working on his hp dv6000, so you may give him a nudge when you see him online [04:29] yo [04:30] is anyone in here a hybrid or anope admin/wiz? [04:30] ardchoille: Silent_Echo?... you kno when he comes in [04:30] I'm trying to setup a IRC server for personal use and I'm having issues getting anope to run [04:30] if you are please pm me thanks [04:30] Envy: No, but he's here regularly [04:30] kk thx [04:31] how can I flush the buffers to my USB drive? [04:31] Envy: See my PM [04:31] thanks ardchoille it worked :) [04:31] billybigrigger: that seems to have worked [04:31] syrius: The menu package? [04:32] no [04:32] Kapace: 'sync'? [04:32] not working inveratulo [04:32] I installed menu-xdg and the xdg extras package then I edited the menu to enable debian menu [04:32] joshritger, right on :) have fun [04:32] i have saved a file to my usb drive, and when i run qemu, the file is still stale [04:32] billybigrigger: thanks [04:32] hello, pulse audio is taking up 34% of my cpu load while idle. (no sound playing) [04:33] syrius: super. You might write up a little something in your blog or a web page in case someone else needs the info in the future :) [04:33] joshritger, np [04:33] foul_owl, some process may be keeping it busy for some reason [04:33] kostkon: thanks! how do I tell if this is the case === fumblnoob is now known as Awt [04:34] foul_owl, eh, check you running processes. otherwise it could be a pulse or a alsa problem/bug [04:35] Has anyone heard of a problem with the mouse not being able to clikc on anything? As in the buttons stop responding? The touchpad's mouse clickers do not work either (Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Latitude D820 laptop) [04:36] Cliff: I'm using a latitude D820 and both of my buttons work fine [04:36] so is there a way to make empathy pop up chat messages in a new window? [04:36] kostkon: interesting. totem or mplayer are not running, but it looks like pulseaudio is saying that two copies of totem are currently using sound. except it only shows the icon, and the name is " 0x0008 0x0011 0x0001" [04:36] pwnguin: You should try Pidgin [04:36] TheFuzz4 .... It does not happen all the time ... it happens a few times a week and the laptop must be hard powered off [04:36] TheFuzz4: i did. for five years. i thought id give progress a shot [04:36] Silent_Echo: ardchoille said you had webcam fix for internal "hpdv6000?" [04:37] I know this has been asked a million times, but I've got 450GB on this drive to play around with, and I want a sensible partition scheme that'll allow me to maximum flexibility. [04:37] Hi everyone, I'm back to learn some more from you. [04:37] thoughts? [04:37] TheFuzz4 ... also - the computer works fine in Windoze and never has this problem [04:37] Envy, my brother did it for me XP [04:37] anyone here using nvidia vdpau? [04:37] zilla1, what do you plan to do with the space? [04:37] foul_owl, try: killall totem [04:37] nvidia-185-libvdpau is installed, smplayer video option set to vdpau, and still 31 cpu usage [04:38] kostkon: no process found. same for mplayer and gmplayer [04:38] any hybrid irc gurus in here? [04:38] Silent_Echo: oh....ummm can you ask him how? [04:38] store a metric butt-ton of legally obtained movies, music and tv shows. might end up installing apache and hosting a website [04:38] kostkon: let me send you a screen shot [04:38] foul_owl, ok [04:38] Hello, I got some problems to configurate claws-mail for my gmail account, can someone help me no online tutorials seem to work [04:39] spiky25: Did you configure the proper ports for gmail? [04:39] yes [04:39] can anyone tell me if there is an irc room that deals with networks [04:39] spiky25: What info are you needing? [04:39] does anyone her run Ubuntu under a VirtualBox, using the Linux Guest Additions? I need help with the shared folders feature. [04:39] zilla1, I would just create one huge partition for everything. This, of course, assuming your OS drive is already taken care of; You could in theory mess around with LVMs, but since its one physical drive LVM would not convey any benefit [04:39] gmail is kinda picky and you have to follow their setup instructions [04:39] Envy, sure but i probably wont understand any of it ask ardchoille for the site he gave me i lost it when i ummm...failed and broke ubuntu [04:40] don't know, I can send mails but I cannot see my mailbox emails at all ... [04:40] kostkon: http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/2120/pulse2.png [04:40] no one here uses nvidia´s vdpau? [04:40] spiky25: Which server and port are you using for pop3? [04:40] foul_owl, let's see [04:41] Envy but if u cant find help pm me sometime during the weekend, i'll see if i could get a hold of my brother [04:41] foul_owl, hmm, really strange [04:41] Silent_Echo: alrite, thanks man [04:41] smtp 587 imap 995 for now [04:42] I use imap for a better gmail handling ... [04:42] spiky25: Here is the info I use to setup gmail in most any email client: http://ardchoille42.pastebin.com/m2803d158 [04:42] kostkon: isn't that weird? [04:42] foul_owl, yeah. but, did you reboot? [04:42] do i need to do something special to get usb2 high speed from an ntfs-3g mount? [04:43] kostkon: i think rebooting will fix the problem temporarily, but eventually pulse audio is gonna start hogging all the cpu again. I at least want to solve the pulseaudio bug [04:43] foul_owl, ah, ok [04:43] can anyone forward me to the right room to ask a question about networks? [04:43] hello [04:44] pixie_pie: #networking [04:44] thanks! [04:44] Envy: The website I found was found when searching google, here is a list: http://tinyurl.com/y9pdhnk [04:44] foul_owl, i see.for some reason, the audio streams are not killed and pulse still tries to mix them [04:44] ykx [04:44] foul_owl, and the more audio streams the more cpu usage you have [04:44] ardchoille: thx [04:44] do i need to do something special to get usb2 high speed from an ntfs-3g mount? [04:45] yw [04:45] kostkon: hmmm. any way i can kill the audio streams? [04:45] foul_owl, eh, yeah. first of all, install the pulseuadio device chooser [04:45] Can I manage how client use USB from an ubuntu server? example: they plugins usb then it's alert the server, or I can forbid them from using USB from server? [04:45] foul_owl, you will be able to kill any stream from there [04:45] kostkon: what is the package name? [04:45] darn networking people sleeping over there! [04:46] foul_owl, sudo apt-get install padevchooser [04:46] MaiCroXop: how are you managing users? [04:46] MaiCroXop: go headless on the server and they won't be able to type or see anything [04:46] foul_owl, it will install pavucontrol, the app you actually need to use [04:46] kostkon: do i need to run pavucontrol as root [04:46] foul_owl, no [04:47] foul_owl, pulse is a session process [04:47] displaced: I use ldap to control some windows and linux machine, can I manage how they use USB like that? === david is now known as Guest41853 [04:47] you can with linux, not windows [04:47] kostkon: ok, pavucontrol is showing those two bogus audio streams [04:47] displaced: I already setup samba, with openldap [04:47] in linux, you would take them out of the floppy group [04:47] foul_owl, right click on them to kill them [04:47] and usb doesn't work [04:48] is there any easy way to find out what the CPU usage is, usable from a script? [04:48] foul_owl, how's your cpu usage now? [04:48] kostkon: that did it! cpu usage back down to almost nothing [04:48] hai gaiz [04:48] kostkon: thanks alot! [04:48] foul_owl, hope it stays that way. but try this. use your multimedia apps for a while [04:48] displaced: I want to control them from domain server , can I do that? [04:48] hi, does anyone know how I can monitor incoming pings? [04:49] foul_owl, especially totem and see if you'll get zombie audio streams again [04:49] what music player u guys use? [04:49] amarok [04:49] if you are using ldap, check what groups the users are in. take them out of the group floppy, and usb doesn't work [04:49] foobarbecue: wireshark? [04:49] kostkon: will do. if i get them, do you think its a bug in pulse or totem? [04:49] foul_owl, yeah, it could be [04:50] mmmm wireshark [04:50] foobarbecue: The only way I can think of is a TCP packet monitor. [04:50] inveratulo, last time i made it one giant partition, and I wanted to upgrade my OS, I couldn't do that without saving and reinstalling everything, because my /home was in the same partition as root [04:50] that's all you really need to do for linux. [04:50] foul_owl, one thing you could do, if this hapens again, is to delete your .pulse folder [04:50] foobarbecue: s/TCP// [04:50] foul_owl, if you have one in your home folder, then logout and login again [04:50] inveratulo, i'd been told that /home /var and i think /usr should be in separate partitions if you have the room [04:50] kostkon: what does that do [04:50] and veracity to that recollection? would it do anything for me [04:50] ok, thanks guys. I guess it's easy enough to filter things on Wireshark. neil_d, what is that, a regular expression? [04:51] displaced: but I have more windows client, those usb are really annoying [04:51] foul_owl, among others, it saves in a file the state of pulse per app [04:51] do i need to do something special to get usb2 high speed from an ntfs-3g mount? [04:51] on the windows clients, the system doesn't use the same type of rights. you will have to disable the usb ports on the systems [04:51] dsfdf [04:51] in bios [04:51] foobarbecue: yeh! made a mistake in the typing. [04:51] foul_owl, oyu may find 2-3 files in this folder. one of this is for saving pulse's state [04:51] kostkon: interesting. i will try that. the pavucontrol seems to work pretty well [04:52] hey guys, im teaching my software class tomorrow, (im in the class, im just winrar compared to other yr 12s :P) [04:52] what should i teach them [04:52] anyone know why i would be getting 60k transfer from a ntfs usb drive [04:52] foul_owl, yeah, it's a good app [04:52] does anyone here have empathy configured to pop up chat windows? [04:52] zilla1, ahhh so you want to put the os on the same disk? hmm. [04:52] neil_d: but how do I use it?? [04:52] !ot | KyEfraG [04:52] KyEfraG: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:52] kostkon: should i file a bug report to pulse? [04:52] johnny05: yes, because NTFS stands for "Not Today File System" [04:52] * ardchoille hides [04:52] thanks [04:53] foul_owl, eh, i don't know. but if you want, file one. why not. [04:53] displaced: thanks for your advice , I 'll try to work it on linux first [04:53] well let me run out and buy two more tb drives so i can format to ext3 and copy it all over [04:53] hot damn, you a genius [04:53] kostkon: thanks again! [04:53] foul_owl, :) [04:54] foobarbecue: use what. [04:54] hey everybody [04:54] i'm having problems with my git [04:55] inveratulo, i had assumed that was standard procedure. Is it "bad form" to put the OS on the same disk? [04:55] neil_d: I asked how I could monitor incoming pings. You said s/TCP/ [04:55] that's how the standard installs come. actually, i'm not even sure how to set it up otherwise === cesar_ is now known as Guest93286 [04:55] neil_d: OH nm i get it it you were correcting your earlier statement [04:55] how to customize gnome to open every thing in single click like the folders files etc ? [04:56] foobarbecue: yep! [04:56] hi [04:56] does anyone know whether an ubuntu computer can remote control a windows computer?

[05:01] Sibelius works in wine [05:01] zilla1, i think the idea is to keep them small and don't part them out until it becomes neccessary, but then again if disk is not an issue just go crazy [05:01] Jeruvy: i found this :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=611816 ....try'n to fix my laptops webcam [05:01] oh :) well when you say "start out" i forgot that you can mod partitions [05:01] really!!! great!!!

But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [05:04] howsthat: the folder setup in linux is different than windows, there are no drive designations [05:04] howsthat: that's me getting it do the bot stuff for you [05:04] Envy: copy and paste post #2 into a script call it work.sh, save it in your home directory, then from a terminal run 'sh work.sh' [05:04] brijth> go under admin and hardware drivers to see if the correct drriver is installed and activated [05:05] howsthat: Since Ubuntu 7.10 (October 2007) Ubuntu has been able to read and write to Windows NTFS no problem, as long as Windows was shut down properly [05:05] Jeruvy: open office would work? [05:05] Envy: no, use gedit [05:05] displaced, so if i understand there will be some way for me to view all files on my disk drives under ubuntu, right? [05:05] are you talking about on the windows system howsthat [05:05] yes [05:06] yes [05:06] great [05:06] Jeruvy: so wat would i type into gedit?....sry if u feel like your talk'n to a moron XP.... i'm kinda new [05:06] you would be seeing your windows desktop as though you were sitting at the desktop [05:06] i am getting so sick of this vista machine [05:06] Envy: copy and paste the code in post #2 from that link you referenced [05:06] i have had two periods in the last two nights, where the hard drive is going so crazy I can't get the machine to do anything [05:06] remote desktop works like vnc in linux [05:07] you see the desktop as it is on the remote machine [05:07] howsthat: crazy in what kind of way? if your hard disk is failing putting another OS on it, probably won't do much good [05:07] no it's not failing [05:07] if the drive is failing, he won't be able to load linux [05:07] it could be thrashing as a result of shoddy OS [05:07] :-P [05:07] macken: when I took that window .... it searched for a while and says no thirdparty drivers avilable [05:07] it's part of the windows system called csrss.exe or something like that [05:08] i've googled it - lots of people have this issue [05:08] it is simply unbelievable [05:08] hundreds of thousands of i/o reads in a few hours [05:08] brijth> what video are you using [05:08] my question is, has anyone configured ldap to work with pam-auth-update and how did you do it [05:09] After upgrading to 9.10 the java plugin for firefox has stopped working. I've tried installing it manually, and through the distros but with no luck. [05:09] folks, thanks for your help, i'll probably be back asking more newbie questions. have a good night [05:10] dethray: aptitude install sun-java6-plugin ? [05:10] Yes [05:10] If I need to move my install to another drive, could I simply "dd -if /dev/sda -of /dev/sdb" assuming sda was the original, and sdb was the new one? sda is partitioned, and I want sdb to be an exact duplicate. [05:10] dethray, did you run the java update alternatives cmd? [05:10] Yes I have. [05:11] dethray, this?: sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun === Jay|Lost_ is now known as Jay|Lost [05:11] cba123, that will work, but i would specify a block size (like bs=4K) and after that i would also copy the MBR ('dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1) [05:11] Jeruvy: problem : could not save the file /home/work.sh. [05:11] dethray, i assume you have also installed the java-6-plugin package? [05:11] Well it's currently looking at my manual install [05:12] hi [05:12] Envy: use /home//work.sh where is your real username [05:12] libnpjp2.so??? [05:12] Jeruvy: oh...sry...i thought it was save it in home...thx [05:12] dethray, you got an error? [05:13] cba123, so it would be 'dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=4K' (this will run a LONG time as it writes ALL bits) and then the aforementioned dd command [05:13] Envy: no problem. [05:13] Well when it is linked into my plugin dir firefox will crash when I attempt to load an applet [05:13] inveratulo: cdavis: You are already getting the mbr with if=/dev/sda of/dev/sdb, no need to copy it again [05:14] inveratulo, I don't really need all the bits, just moving a myth to another drive. Might be quicker to reinstall, all the data is on another drive anyways. [05:14] dethray, hmm. you could remove your manually installed plugin and try to reinstall sun java from the repos again, including the sun java-plugin package. [05:15] Ok [05:15] Jeruvy: now when i go into terminal and type in run 'sh work.sh' do i keep the ' quote things? [05:15] Is there problems with the 64bit plugin and 64bit firefox? [05:15] Envy, nope just the contents [05:15] Envy: just type sh work.sh, not run sh work.sh [05:15] dethray, ah, 64bit [05:15] Yeah :P [05:16] cba123; you might want to look at partimage too, if the disk is extremely; Jordan-U: i figured it would, but I've always copied the first 512 bytes just to be sure, and didn't want to speak on something i didn't have personal experience doing :) [05:16] Jeruvy: Istarnes: thanx [05:16] *large [05:16] <_ged> hi, when I tried to execute a gmake, it says "command not found"... is gmake a separate command or its a package with ubuntu? [05:16] dethray, i don't really now. mine, 32bit, working just fine, including the browser plugin [05:16] _ged: gmake is make [05:16] <_ged> lstarnes: thanks [05:16] I might just switch back over, the upgrade gave me 64 firefox [05:17] how would one add panels as sudo? [05:17] Jeruvy: it sais :"Module ehci_hcd not found. [05:17] Thanks for the help, kostkon :) [05:17] freevryheid: you should not be using the desktop as root (sudo) [05:17] dethray, :) [05:17] freevryheid: add panels to the desktop as sudo??? [05:18] _ged: gnu make (the version used in gnu/linux, including ubuntu and most distributions) is only called gmake on non-gnu systems, like the BSD variants [05:18] <_ged> lstarnes: i've tried the "make" and i dont get that error again [05:18] yep - in xfce the cpu freq monitor panel requires sudo for changes [05:18] does anyone here know if the ubuntu minimal install includes ndiswrapper? [05:18] Envy: use gedit to edit the work.sh file, and comment out that line -- add a '#' as the first character on that line makes it a comment. Save it and try again. [05:19] _ged: install the build-essential package and you will have the make command [05:20] freevryheid, use "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets" and say YES to SUID build (sudo basically) [05:21] Evening [05:21] Just curious, is it possible to enable "wrap around" for your workstations? [05:21] So if you have 1-3, and tap right on #3 it wraps around to #1? [05:22] Do I need network-manager? I removed it because I want more control over my network config but now when I do /etc/init.d/networking restart it takes forrrrrever [05:22] does anyone here know if the ubuntu minimal install includes ndiswrapper? [05:22] ZykoticK9: prolly work for xfce panels as well? [05:22] also I'm having a hell of a time getting wpa to work [05:22] arghh2d2: I don't think it does [05:22] arghh2d2: I'm not completely sure though [05:22] freevryheid, ummm good point -- not sure, but that's the fix for the Frequency app in Gnome... in XFCE ??? dunno worth a shot though [05:23] i know that the older plain old gnome installs included ndiswrapper. it would make sense if it did [05:24] I mean, it should be pretty easy to do [05:24] Jeruvy: what do i do now? it sais : "#!/bin/bash" NEXT LINE "gksudo "modprobe -4 ohci_hcd" && gksudo "modprobe ochi_hcd"" what do i change? [05:24] just wondering if there's a straightforward way to do that [05:24] freevryheid, ya - it looks like xfce just uses a wrapper to gnome-applets to try what i suggested [05:25] !pastebin | Envy: can you pastebin the file work.sh [05:25] Envy: can you pastebin the file work.sh: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

I'm considering two options, 1. Setting up dansguardian on my ethernet machine and pointing the client to that 2. Using openDNS. I'm worried about speed issues here. Can someone tell me if I should expect a noticable speed difference with OpenDNS? [05:30] Jeruvy: ok ran it in terminal, didnt do anything special, restart computer? [05:30] zykoticK9: well it has 2 spots [05:30] 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) [05:30] 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series] [05:31] Envy: no, thats it.

It was a good try. [05:33] Jeruvy: well thx anyway bud [05:34] i'll keep hunting [05:34] Envy: could be somehow related to the fact that your errored on the second line, perhaps something there is related to your issue. [05:34] brack10; wpa-supplicant or somesuch [05:34] Brack10: i cant use wpa because i use ndiswrapper [05:34] Envy: good luck.

[05:38] thanks, taking a look at that now. [05:38] monkey__, sorry man i've been searching google without finding anything "good" to share with you -- seems lots of people have had problems with this audio setup on both 9.04 and 9.10. Hopefully someone else in the channel has the same hardware as you and knows how to fix it. Good luck man. [05:38] zykoticK9: ok thanks anyways [05:40] Well using compiz' cube rotation you have wrap around [05:40] I keep changing the permissions on a folder so that I can access it but something keeps changing it back to no access OVER AND OVER AND OVER... I have done, chown, chmod and even used the graphical approach but nothing makes the permissions stick. Someone please help me, it's really beginning to piss me off. [05:40] oops... not that , ignore that [05:40] so that's a workaround for that. with every other effect turned off it's not that bad... [05:40] still... [05:40] that was from earlier and I resolved that problem [05:40] I just bought a new hard drive, used gparted to partition it to ext3, and rebooted. now when i mount it, it is read only [05:40] any ideas why that would happen? [05:41] Can someone give me the link to the ubuntu handbook pdf... the popular one... I don't remember exactly what it is called. [05:41] holmser: did you mount it as rw or ro?

[06:08] Sincere: if you have no gui, clearly you're not using a default ubuntu install === david__ is now known as arooni [06:08] digen, cool, thanks [06:08] Sincere: so i can't guarantee if you have iwconfig installed [06:08] soreau:http://paste.ubuntu.com/320570/ [06:08] greezmun1ey: you're welcome [06:09] klpt: but i still use ubuntu..expect for gnome window manager..can you please tell me the file related with networking? [06:09] Sincere: your best bet is to run "iwconfig" at the command line and see if you have any wireless cards that iwconfig recognizes. then run "iwconfig mode managed essid " and then do "ifconfig up" and try dhcp [06:09] klpt: what's the path for iwconfing, to check if it's there or not? [06:09] Sincere: just try running it [06:09] hi folks; i remember doing restful routes with map.resources :auctions ;;; and i understand what that means.... but when it comes to map.auction 'auctions/:id', :controller => "auction", "action => "show"' ... i'm not sure what's going on [06:10] question....when i go to list does it only list all irc's out there or just all ircs concerning linux? [06:10] can someone explain that line to me? it seems superfluous if you already have map.resources :auctions [06:10] klpt: i tried running it..it says i need to set it in the P [06:10] P [06:10] also [06:10] PATH env variable..how can i set it? [06:10] isn't useradd supposed to create a home directory? [06:10] klpt: hey sudo iwconfig runs [06:11] <^c|0ud^> I deleted an NTSC partition and have space that I can use for my exisiting ubuntu setup how do I go about using it? [06:11] Sincere: does it find any wireless network cards? [06:11] <^c|0ud^> *NTFS [06:11] Has anyone here been forced to deal with getting the nvidia card on the Sony Z to work on Ubuntu? [06:12] Brack10, useradd when used with "-d HOME_DIR" should create a home dir [06:13] Brack10, ZykoticK9: just use adduser, it's easier [06:13] ahh thanks [06:13] I'm trying to edit a file vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg ....i get an error that it's read only and I can't change it [06:13] anyway... i came here to ask a question. i'm migrating from Arch Linux to Ubuntu with a RAID5 array that I'm trying to keep intact [06:13] i tried to chmod it but still get an error [06:14] mack : use sudo as root previlidge [06:14] smacktalk1, use "sudo vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg" [06:14] brijith: glxinfo 2>/dev/null | grep -c GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap [06:14] and ubuntu and mdadm seem to detect the array just fine, but it's not doing so well with the partition table [06:14] smacktalk1, did you try sudo vi ...? [06:14] it's a 2TB /dev/md0, and ubuntu seems to think that there's a partition in there, when if fact there is not [06:14] brijith: I have a feeling you dont have glxinfo. [06:14] ok, I'll try that...Thanks!! [06:15] ZykoticK9: figured it out. sudo apt-get install cpufrequtils then sudo cpufreq-set -g powersave [06:15] klpt: it says ESSID, is this a wireless card? [06:15] freevryheid, nice!!! thanks. [06:15] soreau:http://paste.ubuntu.com/320573/ [06:15] and so i'm guessing that it's breaking lvm functionality because it's mungling the data somehow. when i reboot back into arch (I'm dual booting while I get things working) everything is still as it should be [06:15] Sincere: so whatever card it found that on is your wireless card [06:15] hopefully it maintains through a reboot [06:15] whenever i try to go onto a site it frezzes and stops loading but there is an error. I have a ubuntu, and its a mini inspiron [06:16] brijith: Pastebin the output of LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo [06:16] THE GOOD THING ABOUT HAVING MY OWN COMPUTER IS THAT I CAN JIZZ ALL OVER THE KEYBOARD AND NOT FEEL GUILTY THAT MY FAMILY IS GOING TO TYPE ON IT [06:16] THE GOOD THING ABOUT HAVING MY OWN COMPUTER IS THAT I CAN JIZZ ALL OVER THE KEYBOARD AND NOT FEEL GUILTY THAT MY FAMILY IS GOING TO TYPE ON IT [06:16] danamania: Bye.

[06:16] Sincere: so now you know iwconfig has found your wireless card. can you tell what name it has? it'll be something like wlan0, eth1, wifi0, etc. [06:17] how do i go onto websites again without having problems??? [06:17] soreau:http://paste.ubuntu.com/320574/ [06:17] หวัดดี [06:17] danamania just couldn't help himself. He probably spent all his bottle money for that PC. [06:17] klpt: it is wlan0 [06:17] hi [06:18] can someone help me? [06:18] is there something for ubuntu server that will let me create a temporare upload directory with some random key for example, that i can give someone to upload me something? [06:18] THE GOOD THING ABOUT HAVING MY OWN COMPUTER IS THAT I CAN JIZZ ALL OVER THE KEYBOARD AND NOT FEEL GUILTY THAT MY FAMILY IS GOING TO TYPE ON IT [06:18] THE GOOD THING ABOUT HAVING MY OWN COMPUTER IS THAT I CAN JIZZ ALL OVER THE KEYBOARD AND NOT FEEL GUILTY THAT MY FAMILY IS GOING TO TYPE ON IT [06:18] soreau:This effects were working yesterday before I install some updates.....

[06:18] brijith:Yes, I saw. Try SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz & [06:19] Sincere: so presumably you also know the network name for the access point you're trying to connect to? [06:19] hello????? [06:19] Sincere: actually, you'll want to punch in "man iwconfig" and read about how this tool is supposed to work. i can guess a command for you, but it will likely be wrong [06:19] lavee: is this on a wired connection [06:19] soreau:http://paste.ubuntu.com/320576/ [06:19] i have wireless [06:19] lavee, what is the problem, your browser crashes? [06:20] greezmun1ey: i want something smarter than that, i don't want to have to deal with opening a new daemon the whole time. i want something that i can say, ok, create a 5min account, it gives me a url, i give it to the person and the person uses it once and the daemon removes that key [06:20] Sincere: and god help you if you're using WPA on your network. it's more of a pain to configure, and if you're just trying to get yourself back up on your feet it's certainly overkill [06:20] lavee, do you get the same errors when using a wired connection? [06:20] yes i do [06:20] so does nobody have any experience with software raid? [06:20] so that basically, it's clossed by default. its just that people send me stuff on msn and it's freaking slow [06:20] klpt: network name meaning examples? [06:20] lavee; what browser? what error? [06:20] hello, i just edited my /etc/exports after installing nfs package and rebooted should nfs now be running? [06:21] Hilicus, I don't know but you would think that would be available, or at least could be easily built... [06:21] greezmun1ey: that's what i thougth, that's why i'm asking here ;) [06:22] i don't know much about laptops, all i know is that this laptop is not letting me go to websites i use to go too. and its always turns everything off and i don't even do anything [06:22] Sincere: sorry, I don't follow? network name is the SSID of your access point. something like "linksys" or "home" or "don't steal my intarwebs!" [06:22] Hilicus, you would probably start with apache, and a random number generator, etc... [06:22] it's what you see if you're running a gui and you click network manager with wireless access points present === andy is now known as Guest13982 [06:23] brijith: dpkg -l|grep fglrx [06:23] soreau:http://paste.ubuntu.com/320579/ [06:23] i don't know much about laptops, all i know is that this laptop is not letting me go to websites i use to go too. and its always turns everything off and i don't even do anything [06:23] lavee: have you ever moved a raid system from one distribution to another? [06:24] no i have not i dont even know what that is [06:24] :-/ shucks [06:24] brijith: sudo apt-get remove --purge all of those packages you see there [06:24] klpt: but i dont see anyname like that in my wlan0? [06:24] Hilicus, check this out...http://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-expert-users/95743-secure-file-transfer-public-key.html [06:25] brijith: Somehow the proprietary ati driver got installed [06:25] lavee; you will have to be more specific than "won't load website", is there a specific error? [06:25] brijith: After you remove all of those packages in that pastebin, reboot and hopefuly it will work again [06:25] jasonmchristos, in a terminal does "ps aux | grep nfsd" have a list of items? if so - nfs is running, if not - nfs is not running. [06:26] is it worth replacing xp with linux [06:26] which file is for network manager? [06:26] Hilikus, I got your nic wrong with that last post, did you see it? [06:26] Sincere: no, it's something you have to type in. do you have a wireless network you want to connect to? [06:26] Hi. Can anyone recommend a media player akin to WinAMP(simple and effective)? I don't need an iTunes-like player like rhythmbox... thanks! [06:26] Satzo, audacious [06:26] !info audacious [06:26] audacious (source: audacious): small and fast audio player which supports lots of formats. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1-1ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 886 kB, installed size 3264 kB [06:26] Sincere: iwconfig doesn't list all of the available networks. you just have to know [06:26] soreau: Oky I will check it now http://paste.ubuntu.com/320582/ [06:26] greezmun1ey: yes, i gave you an answer [06:26] audacious is a .wav editor isnt it??? [06:27] UUU//russian is here& [06:27] ZykoticK9: what if i did rpcinfo and see nfs === austin is now known as fallore [06:27] yes i am using wireless on this machine currenly..how can i check which wireless connection i am using? [06:27] Satzo, thats audacity [06:27] Hilikus, no this http://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-expert-users/95743-secure-file-transfer-public-key.html [06:27] oh sorry :P [06:27] i dont know i did it, but whenever i reboot there are all these iptables entries that break everytihng.. fortunately i know how to clear them, but how to i make them stop coming back every boot? [06:27] Guest13982: Depends on your needs. It may be convenient to dual boot or run one of the OSs in the others VM (like vbox) [06:27] greezmun1ey: oh! that one i dint see [06:27] hehe [06:27] klpt: yes i am using wireless on this machine currenly..how can i check which wireless connection i am using? [06:27] Hilikus, that's what I thought. [06:27] jasonmchristos, don't know when i run "rpcinfo" i just the the help info? [06:28] iwconfig [06:28] klpt: i am using broadcomm connection [06:28] ok its running now how do i mount this from gui in karmic [06:28] hmmm.. the websites i go onto is like facebook, and when i try logging in the page frezzes and stops it says its loading but 10 mins later its still on the same thing and my mouse is different from when i clicked to go onto it. [06:28] i need some help, i'm on ubuntu 9.04... i'm trying to play audacious through crontab... i know by /var/log/syslog that i'm executing that, but audacious can't play, what could i do? [06:28] pEOPLE HOW ABOUT BAGS IN 9.10? [06:29] jasonmchristos, i know of no way to use GUI NFS shares in Gnome, yet there is a gui NFS on the old EEE linux!?! If you find a way let me know! [06:29] Sorry for caps [06:29] ZykoticK9: well how do i mount it then [06:29] jasonmchristos, sudo mount nfsserver:/exportedshare [06:29] бля [06:30] Sincere: if you're actively connected to a wireless access point [06:30] lavee, are you using FireFox? [06:30] jasonmchristos, err sudo mount nfsserver:/exportedshare /mountpoint [06:30] elvis: Please stay on topic and speak english here, thanks. [06:30] no iam not [06:30] ok [06:30] Sincere: then iwconfig will show your network name in the "essid" section. however, if that's the case, then I don't quite understand what you're trying to accomplish [06:30] lavee, which browser then? [06:30] usser: ok thanks so to users who do not have sudo priv. they will not be able to acess nfs shares? [06:31] what do you mean? [06:31] lavee, you just answered my question... [06:31] jasonmchristos, if you set them up in fstab you "might" be allowed to give users permission to mount them [06:31] jasonmchristos, basically, unless you add mount.nfs to sudoers with no password [06:32] <^c|0ud^> I deleted an NTFS partition and have space that I can use for my exisiting ubuntu setup how do I go about using it? [06:32] this place is so confusing... greezmunley what do you mean by what browser? [06:32] klpt: on one machine i am using wireless wlan0 from Broadcom, i need to connect to the same on other machine..how can i do that? [06:32] soreau: thanks a lot It worked ..... [06:32] ^c|0ud^: Use gparted [06:32] thanks [06:32] this is a serious kink in my plans [06:32] brijith: No problem, glad to help ;) [06:32] lavee, browser = Web Browser, examples are Firefox Opera IE etc. [06:32] klpt:what essid?it says no command found [06:32] lavee, Web Browser...Firefox, Chromium, ..I forgot the windows version, Explorer that's it... [06:32] Hi. I have the best Ubuntu installation ever. Even my webcam works for the first time. Now the only think that doesn't work is my microphone. It used to work, so I'm sure I can get it to work again. I've been trying the whole weekend. Can anybody help troubleshooting it? [06:32] <^c|0ud^> do I have to use the livecd? or can I do it within ubuntu? [06:33] soreau::) [06:33] jasonmchristos, generally there's no need for users to manually mount shares, if they have to you're doing something wrong [06:33] i want the users to be able to get a share but i am the only one with admin priv. [06:33] brijith: I have no idea how fglrx got installed, but that is what messed everything up [06:33] jasonmchristos, so put it in /etc/fstab [06:33] Sincere: essid is a field that iwconfig tells you when you run it. so if you run "iwconfig wlan0" [06:33] xchat use udp protocol more or tcp protocol ? [06:33] usser, thanks for mentioning audacious..so far so good [06:33] let me open fstab [06:33] Sincere: it should spit out some information about how that card is configured. what are you trying to do, anyway? [06:34] i dont have a browser than? how could i change to windows? i have a inspirion mini 910 [06:34] Satzo, no problem its a complete winamp clone, you can even use skins from winamp [06:34] Sincere: i feel like you haven't communicated to me what your goal here is [06:34] jasonmchristos, but it's the fstab on the remote machines you would need to be editing! [06:34] hsu: I think it's TCP [06:34] jasonmchristos, fstab on the clients that is [06:34] jasonmchristos, are you sure Samba isn't a better fit for you [06:34] soreau: actually what i did is I used the deb files from archives of another system to install it here [06:34] klpt: my goal is to enable wireless network on my machine [06:34] ok thats what im opening [06:34] lavee, how are you accessing facebook then? (I hate to ask) [06:34] hey, How do I get vlc to play inside one window, for some reason when I switched to KDE it split where the interface and the video are seperate [06:34] brijith: Why? [06:34] Sincere: but you said that you're already connected, haven't you? [06:35] klpt: no i am not connected. [06:35] soreau:so that I can do it with out downloading [06:35] hsu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat [06:35] Sincere: ok then. so you need to know the broadcast name of your network. do you own an access point? [06:35] brijith: Well whatever, dont do that again ;) [06:35] i have a wireless connection this? i have google??? if that helped idk [06:35] hold on be right back [06:35] soreau:Oky [06:36] soreau:I learned a lession :) [06:36] thats one way to check :) [06:36] ok its open but ive never edited this before what should i enter? [06:36] omg [06:36] Nobody can help me set the microphone? Please, i've been trying for days. [06:36] soreau::##lesson [06:36] thanks, what kind of applications use udp protocol more ? [06:36] brijith: FWIW, you can also seek our award winning compiz support in # compiz :-) [06:37] soreau:I have another doubt ,,,, [06:37] How do I unexport a shel variable from bash? [06:37] brijith: ? [06:37] hsu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Datagram_Protocol#Applications [06:37] soreau:for removing packages we issued a command ... apt-get remove --purge [06:38] klpt: here is the spit out of iwconfig wlan0 [06:38] gandalfcome: I think you have to set it an empty value [06:38] is there any possible way i could change my laptop to be a windows instead of ubuntu? [06:38] brijith: What about it? [06:38] soreau:what is that --purge stands for [06:38] jasonmchristos, assuming your "server" will run 24/7 then just add ": nfs 0 0" to the client's fstab -- if however your server will not be running this could cause problems starting your client machines when the server isn't running [06:38] Sincere: you may want to msg me with that to avoid spamming the room [06:38] klpt: how wil i know whether i own an access point or not? can i check that someway?? [06:38] gasull: doesnt work [06:38] lavee: yes, you can partition and format your disk and start again [06:38] klpt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/320587/ here is the outcome [06:39] Sincere: wait... you have no idea what network you're trying to connect to, do you? [06:39] brijith: man apt-get [06:39] in karmic, my guake sometimes opens at the bottom and sometimes at the top - anyone knows why this is? [06:39] gandalfcome: try unset VARIABLE [06:39] gasull: how do i do that? [06:39] klpt: i know that i have to connect to broadcom 's connection [06:39] soreau: :) Oky [06:39] ZykoticK9: so if u use /home/share as mount point all users will have acess? [06:39] soreau:Thanks for your help ! :) [06:39] brijith: No problem [06:39] How could I play a sound through the system motherboard speaker, I just need an alert, nothing fancy like an MP3... ? [06:40] lavee: you will loose everything you have. You know that, right? [06:40] jasonmchristos, you'll still probably have to change permission on the mount point to give everyone permission read/write/execute sorta thing. [06:40] Yes i do, but i dont have anything on here i just got this laptop a few months ago [06:40] thanks .... what kind of "multimedia applications" use udp protocol ? [06:40] thanks .... what kind of "multimedia applications" use udp protocol more ? [06:41] ZykoticK9: so if the server is off what should i expect to happen? [06:41] Can anyone point me to the information on how to use a /var/lib/dpkg/lock file properly? [06:41] I see cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp will make sounds through the motherboard speaker but I need something louder [06:41] jasonmchristos, slow or no boot on the client [06:41] zaoul: aptitude install mplayer, then use it to play a sound [06:41] zaoul: from the command line [06:41] uhh.. mplayer to do something simple like this? [06:41] ZykoticK9: no boot! isnt there an option to just abort it if its not present [06:41] gasull: how do i change to windows? [06:41] zaoul1, theres alsaplayer [06:41] jasonmchristos, using "noauto" option in fstab would "fix" that but would mean it wouldn't always show up for users [06:41] hsu: you can google that. but BitTorrent uses both UDP and TCP [06:42] seems kind of redonkulous [06:42] Sincere: broadcomm is a manufacturer of wireless chipsets, not a specific network [06:42] ZykoticK9: so how would they make it show up? [06:42] i need some help! I'm a new user, I cannot get ubuntu 9.10 to load into the normal gnome, it always freezes. I can only load failsafe. ideas? [06:42] some idiot changed the IP of his server without telling me, now I have no idea where the server is in the dedi room [06:42] lavee: go to dpaste.com and paste the result of this command cat /etc/mtab [06:43] would errors=noauto work? [06:43] jasonmchristos, they would have to run "mount /mount/pointinfstab" you'd also have to have "user" option in fstab as well - but sudo wouldn't be required [06:43] lavee: you will regret going back to windows when you get a virus. I did years ago [06:43] zaoul1, scan the entire subnet with nmap :) [06:43] hey, How do I get vlc to play inside one window, for some reason when I switched to KDE it split where the interface and the video are seperate [06:43] usser: and how does that tell me where the machine physically is? [06:43] jasonmchristos, re errors=noauto - i'm not sure [06:44] so im at the website and what do i do? [06:44] lavee: after posting the result of cat /etc/mtab post here the resulting url [06:44] zaoul1, oh... [06:44] i notice that the main partition has errors=remount-ro [06:44] yep [06:44] open gnome-terminal and run this command: cat /etc/mtab [06:44] hi, anybody knows how to make gtk+ apps not "ugly" when running kde in ubuntu? [06:44] lavee: ^ [06:45] i need some help, i'm on ubuntu 9.04... i'm trying to play audacious through crontab... i know by /var/log/syslog that i'm executing that, but audacious can't play, what could i do? [06:45] lavee: please use my nickname or I get lost with some many people in the chat [06:45] jasonmchristos, that's refering to file system errors -- not really applicable to NFS shares -- i'm not sure it would even apply [06:45] jeffery I think that has to do with which video interface you are using like X11 Shm. [06:45] gasull: okay im confused im suppose to post cat/etc/mtab onto the website you told me to post it at? [06:46] lavee: in your Ubuntu desktop go to Applications -> Accesories -> Terminal [06:46] gasull, you dont have like stickers with numbers on the servers and clients assigned to those numbers? [06:47] or some other type of tracking system not reliant on something so easily changed by the client [06:47] gasull: and then what? [06:47] digitalfiz: what are you talking about? Maybe you wanted to say this to someone else [06:47] yes i did sorry lol [06:47] i ment zaoul [06:48] zaouli, do you have a working IP address for that server, regardless of location? [06:49] lavee: type this: cat /etc/mtab [06:49] lavee: and press ENTER [06:49] zaoul, do the servers have cdroms? :P [06:49] gasull: i type that onto here? [06:50] cat /etc/mtab [06:50] zaoul1, do you have a working IP address for the server?

I wonder if the cisco could tell me where it is [06:51] so i've got a problem here. At the login screen, when I have choose the login option GNOME, my computer freezes before i reach my desktop. however, both xterm and GNOME Failsafe work properly. everything was fine this morning, this problem just started upon reboot.

[06:53] that sudo is annoying, cant i bypass it and become root? [06:53] hi bidossessi, I'm in Pretoria, you? [06:53] is it worth switching to linux [06:53] gasull: im a blonde, 13 years old, i need better decription because i do not understand that well [06:53] skuramboo: i'm in GNOME failsafe right now, so the server is already up. [06:53] bid: sudo sh [06:53] zaoul, if they have cdroms try ejecting the cdrom if not try using aplay and play a wav file thats on the system [06:53] lavee: wait [06:53] I'm wondering if anyone can help me with Ubuntu server, by default, does Ubuntu allow connections (i.e port 80) from ppp0 to say Apache? [06:53] thanks [06:54] gasull: okay [06:54] no cdrom, digitalfiz: aplay to the mobo speaker righ? [06:54] i think it does when no soundcards exist [06:55] kwagga, i lived in Hatfield, P for 5 years , but now, i'm in algeria. How's ubuntu treating you any problems we can help with? [06:55] lavee: http://yfrog.com/16screenshotfishp [06:55] lavee: you should see something like that [06:55] bidossessi: Dont you miss Hatfield, or PTA in general? - I think its the best place in RSA, if not Africa... even with all the crime... [06:55] lavee: if you do we can go to the next step [06:56] bidossessi: I'm guessing you're in Algeria for business? [06:56] kwagga, i miss menlyn most of all. Iwork in Algeria now [06:56] gasull: i see a bunch of symbols and letters and numbers [06:56] hey guys i m getting 1360*768 but not 1280*1024 and my lcd is 5:4 so how to restrict the resolutions to 1280*1024 [06:56] how do i disable wpa_supplicant? i try to kill it but it comes right back, i dont have a wireless card so i dont need it [06:56] Can kvm control only the tv out port of a video card. Or do you have to have 2 video cards present? [06:57] man does anyone know wtf this guy is talking about? http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/sys/1450181273.html trying to find out if he is either freaking crazy stupid or I'm not reading his description correctly [06:57] lavee: great! now use your mouse to select all the text in the terminal window, then right-click on it, and copy it, then go to http://dpaste.com and paste it there [06:57] lavee: then you tell me the url and I will be able to see it and help you [06:57] bidossessi: I got ubuntu server is installed with LAMP, I can access the server 100% from eth1, but when I dialed ppp0, I cant ping TO the server, I can however, ping from it... I'm thinking it was ufw or iptables, but I dont see anything wrong... [06:57] Sincere: so that one isn't connected to anything either [06:57] gasull: okay thank you, hold on one moment [06:58] hey guys i m getting 1360*768 but not 1280*1024 and my lcd is 5:4 so how to restrict the resolutions to 1280*1024 , driver nvidia 185 [06:58] hey all [06:58] bidossessi: Menlyn is good, but since you libed here, there have been many new shopping centres popping up. the smaller ones are much more convenient. [06:58] ZykoticK9: it didnt work maybe because the network is wireless and doesnt start till after fstab loads [06:58] i got a watermark..Amd unsupported hardware..how do i get rid of it [06:59] kwagga, i really miss the entertainment section and the cinemas. no mall in algeria, at all! about your issue. dialing ppp0 meaning you're using an external ADSL device? [06:59] klpt: ok.. [06:59] jasonmchristos, that could CERTAINLY be an issue! not sure how to get around that... best of luck (BTW you've got me setting up NFS again after my reinstall of 9.10 - so thanks) [06:59] bidossessi: yeah, the server must dial pppoe connection. [07:00] ZykoticK9: i think its much faster than the default samba [07:00] bidossessi: Entertainment section.... mmm.. I guess Galaxy World was your place, ey? [07:00] gasull: my screen froze up [07:01] usser: any suggestions my network is wireless and i think thats why the fstab is not working [07:01] hey guys i m getting 1360*768 but not 1280*1024 and my lcd is 5:4 so how to restrict the resolutions to 1280*1024 , driver nvidia 185 [07:01] gasull: i lost everything that i think i did right? [07:01] jasonmchristos, NFS is certainly the Unix way to share files and i find it much more stable then Samba but Samba certainly has it's place as well. I never did get my ex-gfriend's Mac to connect to NFS shares even with the "insecure" option. [07:01] bidossessi: I only go to menlyn nowadays either for Imax, or some speciality item I cant get from any other place.... in the last 5 years, about 10 new shopping centres were built in PTA east alone. [07:02] kwagga, oh yeah, games, pool bowling.... none of that stuff here. does your ADSL device give you a static ip does it have firewall rules enabled? some adsl devices block icmp responses. you might want to check that first [07:02] ZykoticK9: nix rules all else will fail [07:02] kwagga, because by default, ubuntu WILL respond to ping queries [07:03] lavee: not yet. wait, brb [07:03] guys! i m getting 1360*768 but not 1280*1024 and my lcd is 5:4 so how to restrict the resolutions to 1280*1024 , driver nvidia 185 [07:03] jasonmchristos, amen to that :) [07:03] zaoul, sudo apt-get install beep then man beep seems like a tiny program to make the pc speaker beep at you anyways you want [07:03] tried to start GNOME and got: [07:03] gasull: okey dokey [07:03] _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed [07:03] _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running [07:04] bidossessi: Uhm, ICMP works with the account thats dialed (from another machine), If I allow internet on eth0 (enter gateway, dns) then it all works. Again, I tried ping, opening a page on port 80, webmin 10000, etc [07:04] and this: (WW) xf86CloseConsole: KDSETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor [07:04] (WW) xf86CloseConsole: VT_GETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor [07:04] (WW) xf86OpenConsole: VT_GETSTATE failed: Bad file desc [07:04] bidossessi: no response from ppp0. Is there a log I can check to see if the connection is being rejected? [07:04] hi, in karmic, whats the command to try to fix the x server from command line? [07:04] no flooding [07:05] lavee: sorry, talking to my wife. I need to see the output of cat /etc/mtab [07:05] sandbag that text [07:05] sandbag? [07:05] u know when u put sandbags up to stop a flood in otherwords use pastbin [07:05] oj_: You mean reset your conf file? [07:05] kwagga, check the firewall rules to see if ppp0 in in either the external or the DMZ zone [07:05] lavee: can you copy the text selecting it with the mouse and pasting it in dpaste.com? [07:06] soreau, yeah, sort of push the reset on the graphics config as if it were fresh install [07:06] hey guys i m getting 1360*768 but not 1280*1024 and my lcd is 5:4 so how to restrict the resolutions to 1280*1024 , driver nvidia 185 [07:06] oh. i dunno what i'm doing. new to both irc and linux... can i plead ignorance? [07:06] bidossessi: ufw isnt enabled. [07:06] Question - I have my one gnome taskbar set to auto hide, but its kinda slow. Can Ic hange the speed of it? [07:06] could anyone access win7 shared folders from karmic yet ? it asks for passwd again and again even after typing the correct passwd [07:06] oj_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [07:06] ok so fstab wont work because my network is wireless and starts after fstab mounts so is ther another way to allow users to mount nfs share without sudo priv.? [07:07] oj_: I assume X is not starting for you? [07:07] lavee: are you there? [07:07] ph33r: yes, karmic and win7 with samba plays nicely. === wet-chan is now known as wet [07:07] soreau, it is, but the video of every file is messed up after i installed these drivers from the website, i should have stuck with the ones ubuntu installed, everything was fine [07:07] anyone have any ideas for how to solve this? http://pastebin.com/d3ef5c327 it is preventing me from watching xvids in vlc and other players [07:08] ph33r: check your samba config [07:08] gasull: when i went to the terminal it was just a line not like a full page like that picture you showed me. is that okay? and do i just put a space and write cat /etc/mtab? cuz on the website your telling me to put this stuff on has other things on it and i dont know what they are do i just paste it and push okay? [07:08] i have a problem with gnome, can someone talk to me one on one? [07:08] oj_: nvidia or ati? [07:08] soreau, nvidia [07:08] i've ran debuild on some package, it took me half day to compile it, now i see i forgot to put some switch in debuild and it fails at building the .deb packages, it compiled succesfully, is there any way to dell debuild to continue right after where it finished compiling? i don't want to wait another half day [07:08] kwagga: so what's the workaround ? it was working fine till vista, in win7 it's all messed up [07:08] ph33r: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-samba-server-on-ubuntu/ [07:08] oj_: Well I dont know much about nvidia. Have fun fixing that [07:08] lavee: you need to write exactly "cat /etc/mtab" without quotes [07:08] you can help me soreau, i don't have a nvidia problem... [07:09] i want to reconfigure my keyboard layout, which package do i need to dpkg-reconfigure [07:09] hey guys i m getting 1360*768 but not 1280*1024 and my lcd is 5:4 so how to restrict the resolutions to 1280*1024 , driver nvidia 185 [07:09] TheCheeze: looks like you need the plugin [07:09] kwagga: I want to access the shared folder on win7 machine from karmic btw [07:09] jasonmchristos, while i would normally agree, according to synaptic everything is installed, and i even reinstalled [07:09] oj_: Actually, iirc, you can run the nvidia installer with --uninstall to try to uninstall whatever it did [07:09] lavee: paste it and push OK [07:09] soreau, what if i can't find the driver? i think i deleted it [07:09] jakeriver: If you have a problem with compiz or your graphics, I might be able to help [07:10] kwagga, you're pinging ppp0 from the internet, right? [07:10] oj_: That sucks *shrug* [07:10] soreau, if i download it back, and run it from the same place with --uninstall will it work [07:10] TheCheeze: well manually look and see if its there if not put it there [07:10] oj_: I have no idea [07:10] lavee: you have to paste it in the big box that says "Code" [07:10] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCy9nrchqFI&feature=rec-HM-fresh+div [07:10] jasonmchristos, where would i get it to put it there? [07:10] oj_: In theory if it was the exact same version it should [07:10] hey guys i m getting 1360*768 but not 1280*1024 and my lcd is 5:4 so how to restrict the resolutions to 1280*1024 , driver nvidia 185 [07:11] TheCheeze: synaptic may have put it somwhere else [07:11] bidossessi: yeah, internet -> ppp0 doesnt work, pinging local network(eth0) -> ppp0 also doesnt work [07:11] am I jakeriver? i have a problem with something... When I try to login using GNOME (as opposed to GNOME Failsafe or xterm), everything freezes and i have to restart. failsafe works though. [07:11] gusull: okay i did, but why do i need the terminal? [07:11] soreau, so i'll try that then dpkg-reconfigure -phigh hopefully it'll be back [07:11] bidossessi: eth0 does work. AND they strange part ping from ppp0 -> internet DOES work. [07:11] lavee: post here in the channel the resulting url of the page in the website [07:12] ph33r: http://www.wikihow.com/Access-Windows-Files-in-Ubuntu [07:12] Billiard: dude i am stting having the problem [07:12] try completely romoving gstreamer plugins and installing restricted extras i think that comes with xvid codec [07:12] Billiard: i m getting 1360*768 but not 1280*1024 and my lcd is 5:4 so how to restrict the resolutions to 1280*1024 , driver nvidia 185 [07:12] gasull: lavee@Lavee:~$ cat /etc/mtab [07:12] ph33r: that link worked for me [07:12] kwagga: thank you, lemme look into it [07:12] fighter1: try the nvidia-settings program ? [07:12] lavee: you will need the terminal to format your hard disk back to something what Windows will be able to install itself in [07:12] jasonmchristos, a file search says it is in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10 [07:12] lo [07:12] Billiard: its not working there is no 1280*1024 what to do [07:12] how to edit grub.conf in karmic? [07:12] fighter1: Try running sudo nvidia-settings and setting the resolution to what you want then save to config file [07:13] <^c|0ud^> is there any good applications to burn backed up isos on ubuntu... imgburn with wine is glitchy [07:13] ! pm | jakeriver [07:13] jakeriver: 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. [07:13] lavee: the URL of the resulting page [07:13] ! pm | jaketrimble [07:13] jaketrimble: 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. [07:13] damn this channel [07:13] URL is like "http://google.com" [07:13] what is software-center anyway [07:13] jasonmchristos, cancel that. .so was but not .so.67 [07:13] fighter1: just sey ant resolution in nvidia-settings then savexconfig then manually edit the resolution in the xconfig [07:13] i did, but nobody answers. [07:13] fighter1: set any* [07:13] soreau: there is no 1280*1024 in nvidia setting how to force resolutions to 12080*1024 [07:13] gasull: lavee@Lavee:~$ cat /etc/mtab [07:13] is that it? [07:13] lavee: whatever you see in the address bar of your browser after pasting the text [07:13] jasonmchristos, was just a test app i launched. came with karmic. buti get the same error when i launch vlc and totem [07:14] fighter1: Set a Mode line in xorg.conf manually [07:14] lavee: something like http://dpaste.com/34545 [07:14] fighter1: yes if you set just any resolution in nvidia-settings, it will be easy to manually change the xorg.conf [07:14] Billiard: ya i set to 1024*768 and its not saving Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' [07:14] is there an equivilant to quanta for gnome that doesnt require kde crap? [07:14] fighter1: ok do this [07:14] gasull: http://dpaste.com/121443/ [07:14] well if its there it is odd that it would say it doesnt exist [07:14] i want to reconfigure my keyboard layout, which package do i need to dpkg-reconfigure [07:14] lavee: the address bar, where you write "hotmail.com", "myspace.com" and so on [07:15] fighter1, there is a howto on the ubuntu documentation that has a step-by-step guide to add mode lines just google it [07:15] fighter1: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup && sudo nvidia-xconfig [07:15] fighter1: Here is an example http://pastebin.com/m64ecc36d [07:15] lavee: I need you to type in the terminal "cat /etc/mtab" and then press enter [07:15] lavee: you need to press enter [07:15] kwagga, have you enabled ip forwarding? what guide are you using? [07:15] lavee: and I need you to copy and paste the resulting text [07:15] gasull: ohhhhhh [07:15] i would try to uninstall using the "complete removal" feature then install restricted extras which i think has xvid and vlc [07:16] kwagga, how many NICs do you have on the machine? [07:16] jasonmchristos, so i got user level mounting of an NFS share with "IPADDRESS:/export/path /mount_point nfs rw,user,noauto 0 0", the user just has to "mount /mount_point" no sudo required :) [07:16] also vlc [07:16] ZykoticK9: thanks im glad i stuck around. lemme try it [07:16] <^c|0ud^> is there any good applications to burn backed up isos on ubuntu... imgburn with wine is glitchy. any suggestions or recommendations? [07:16] jasonmchristos, you could create a GUI shortcut for the mount command [07:17] bidossessi: I have eth0, and eth1, only eth1 is in use, ppp0 also dials through it [07:17] ^c|0ud^: use k3b or braseo, i dont think imgburn will work well at all in wine [07:17] Billiard: ya now the menu is there but when i press the save button Unable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'. [07:17] Billiard: should i copy from preview and paste in the file [07:17] kwagga, in your lan, are you pinging ppp0 from another machine? if that's the case, please verify that you've enabled ip forwarding [07:18] gasull: okay so i first paste my termial on the first line then do i space and put the cat /etc/mtab and then enter? [07:18] ZykoticK9: option "soft" will keep it from hanging so i read [07:18] fighter1: You need to run 'sudo nvidia-settings' [07:18] fighter1: try just ignoring taht, after hitting save xconf, do you have an xorg.conf with a resolution in it [07:18] bidossessi: doing that now. I wil let you know in a min [07:18] ZykoticK9: since im just trying to use ro soft wont risk any data loss [07:18] Billiard: He doesn't have permissions [07:19] lavee: go to your terminal, write "cat /etc/mtab" and press enter, the copy the resulting text and paste it in http://dpaste.com [07:19] no one in here knows how to use debuild? [07:19] Billiard: the file is changed but there is no resolution attributes written in it [07:19] kwagga, a good trick (if you adsl device allows it) is to use the inbuild pppoe dialer IN the ADSL device and simply set the device as a gateway on your server. that saves you from dealing with pppX ifs [07:20] fighter1: ok, try sudo nvidia-settings [07:20] gasull: http://dpaste.com/121445/ [07:20] ZykoticK9: do i just put the ip or a prefix also? [07:20] lavee: great [07:20] gasull: now what do i do? [07:21] how do i enable the frame buffer in karmic? [07:21] lavee: go to your terminal, write "sudo fdisk /dev/sda" and press enter [07:21] fighter1, if you're getting a failed to parse error with nvidia-settings (in 9.10) see http://paste.ubuntu.com/320605/ for fix [07:21] where would I look to determine what "device" my system uses to play sound, like in using the beep command. Is it maybe a /dev device by chance? [07:21] hello [07:21] Billiard: ya now its there buddy should i just change that ""1024x768_60" nd save [07:21] jasonmchristos, ip or prefix? [07:21] bidossessi: unfortunately, I have to dial multiple accounts on one line (the server will run on local only bandwidth) and the workstations on intl. [07:22] like nfs:// or just a plain ip [07:22] gasull: and then paste it at that one website? [07:22] can any of you give me a link onow to setup a central dhcp server on ubuntu? [07:22] lavee: no, just follow my directions [07:22] jasonmchristos, no "nfs://" just start with the IP address! [07:22] ok [07:22] lavee: the terminal will probably ask for your password. Enter it. [07:22] jasonmchristos, we are talking about fstab on client correct? [07:22] fighter1: yup should work [07:22] j [07:23] yes [07:23] if it crashes or something [07:23] jasonmchristos, k - just checking [07:23] kwagga, that's an annoyment [07:23] fighter1: if it crashes x on restart just delete the xconf or move it [07:23] Billiard: Could not save the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. [07:24] Billiard: i am editing the file by openeing it [07:24] fighter1, please see my pastebin for fix [07:24] gasull: what happens if you forgot the password? [07:24] fighter1: use sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:24] what happened to xmms? I just want a simple mp3 player, I guess xmms really followed in the footsteps of winamp with their xmms2, reminds of what happened with winamp 3 [07:24] can anyone please explain as why my system freezes randomly. I have tried to trace logs of any action/error/or whatsoever but couldn't find stuff of interest. [07:24] fighter1: or gksudo rather [07:24] lavee: you will see something like this [07:24] anyone know of an alternative? [07:24] lavee: http://dpaste.com/121446/ [07:25] gasull: i forgot my password, how do i find it or reset it? [07:25] it happens specially when using firefox and flash-plugin [07:25] lavee: if you forgot your password I don't think I can help you [07:25] Billiard: its saved now should i restart [07:25] thermal, xmms became obsolete [07:25] jasonmchristos, do you happen to be using karmic x64? [07:25] Lint, how is that possible? it played mp3s? what else did it need? [07:25] gasull: okay i remember it now whats the next step? i typed in the password [07:25] fighter1: loging out might do it [07:26] stonewash: which version of Ubuntu are you using? [07:26] TheCheeze: yes [07:26] khensthoth: 9.10 [07:26] I have the exact same requirements now as I did when xmms was around, and when winamp 2.x was around [07:26] lavee: did you get an output similar to this? http://dpaste.com/121446/ [07:26] bidossessi: I'm sure you are aware of the extremely high prices for bw in RSA... [07:26] Indonesia, please ? [07:26] lavee: I'm sure you did. Just similar, not exactly the same. [07:27] Lint, do you know of anything with similar functionality? I want a play button and a little playlist I can drag songs onto [07:27] gasull am i suppose to paste it on the site? [07:27] khensthoth: i thought its happening due to firefox flash-plugin combo, but it happened a few time when was not using firefox or flash-plugin [07:27] jasonmchristos, if you have those missing codecs can you just megashare them or something? would that even work? [07:27] lavee: no, just do the following: [07:27] thermal, try VLC [07:27] kwagga, left PTA during the internet boom, 5 years ago (so long already!), we were still on dialup plans. [07:28] lavee: where it says "Command (m for help): " write "d" (no quotes) and press enter [07:28] bidossessi: ouch, you guys have it worse that us! [07:28] gasull: okay [07:28] stonewash: Hm, I used to have the similar problem in 9.04, but a 9.10 fresh install solved that. Don't really know what caused it as well, sorry. [07:28] lavee: now enter the number 1 and press enter [07:28] Lint, I have vlc, too much overhead and I don't need video [07:28] bidossessi: however, 56k dial up is still very much alive here as well. [07:28] gasuall: and? [07:28] khensthoth: did you tried to trace logs ? [07:28] hi everyone [07:28] Anyone know a fix for this symptom. I installed Kubuntu 9.10, dual monitors. Everything looks fine. Now after my first restart, on the second monitor, the desktop is black. Except for a sliver near the top - about the size of your average panel. I can right click on the sliver and bring up context menus, but the other 90% of my desktop is a black void. [07:29] khensthoth: give me a guess, what can be the issue ? [07:29] Koobz, are you using nvidia? [07:29] how can i start with mplayer on ubuntu? [07:29] lavee: we are deleting your hard drive, but the changes won't be effective until the last step (at that point you will loose connection to the internet and the data in your computer) [07:29] are there some machine translation programs in Ubuntu? [07:29] kwagga, so any update on the status of ipforwarding on your server? [07:29] Billiard:i restarted the file is changed but the resolutions r same what shouild i do [07:29] any suggestions on how to debug a VPN connection that doesn't seem to work. Currently, I click on the VPN connection in the network manager, it says "Activating" for a second or two, and then the "Activating" disappears. (kde) [07:29] oh nice!! found it!! winamp for ubuntu :D ;D [07:29] http://audacious-media-player.org/ [07:29] fighter1: hmmm [07:29] stonewash: I tried to find the problems in the system logs various times, but couldn't find any error message at all. If I were to guess, it'd be firefox. [07:29] gasull: okay i pushed 1 and enter now what?

[08:24] ActionParsnip: i just dont ever use it, thus it's pointless having it [08:24] kossan_: what do you mean by 'continue to have it as a terminal'? [08:24] kekekeke: me neither but if its a dep of update-manager you will have to install it when lucid arrives, etc [08:25] dutchbuntu: Well, you know, so you can continue write commands and stuff [08:25] kekekeke: http://pastie.org/702258 [08:25] kossan_: use ' &' in you command, for example 'nautilus &' [08:25] And not see every little line that program want to spit out at you [08:25] kekekeke: 10Mb save [08:26] hi. can i get someone's rc.conf and fstab file contents on pastebin?????

[08:26] dutchbuntu: Don't work as i want it too, the program is still available to produce lines in the terminal [08:27] kossan_: opening an app in the terminal will always give you output. with the command I gave you, at least you get your prompt back. [08:27] papul: where is rc.conf? and why didnt you make a backup copy before playing? [08:28] dutchbuntu: yea. Well, I could screen the programs.

[09:57] is there some sort of utility available on Ubuntu to report what kind of memory i have on the system? i'd like to upgrade the RAM on this machine, but don't wanna shut it down/take it off now to check what type of DIMM there is..

[10:00] its funny how i never got a virus in all my 3 years of using xp [10:01] you people download pirated stuff thats why [10:01] sirad: only way to clean an infected system is to reinstall from known as clean media. all other attempts to clean systems will fail [10:01] hey - anyone able to tell me why injection just stops after a while on my ubuntu 8.04 box [10:01] it injects fine - 200#/s then it dwindles down to almost 0 , but the signal hasnt changed - if i restart airodump then its back to full speed again, any idea why?

(trying to get conky to work on startup) [10:06] sirad: gaming>? what you mean [10:06] hello, does anybody know why my write speed on my OCZ Vertex SSD dropped to 5-10MB/s (instead of 100-200MB/s) since karmic? My other drive (HDD) works at the usual speed of 60MB/s [10:06] what is the command to check sound devices on my machine? [10:06] sirad i play games on my system [10:06] s1ntax, don't save it to /home, but /home/username [10:06] indus: we did use avast but the vandu virus is a nasty one, it takes hijack this, avast, combofix and a whole suite of systems [10:07] indus you use wine? [10:07] s1ntax, or ~, which will expand to the full home dir for the user [10:07] sirad yes i remember vandu, try the vandu cleaner tool from symantec [10:07] i got a whole package full of the mastiest viruses [10:07] Ok I will tr that [10:07] indus, how is this related to ubuntu support [10:07] sirad wine no, native quake [10:08] the latest vandu "hides" from those [10:08] bazhang: iam helping him remove virus from ubuntu, so a little background iam using [10:08] can anyone please tell me the command to check what sound system do i have on my machine?

[10:11] how to display it ? [10:11] sirad, you will need to get a more recent iso as that is end of life and not supported [10:11] maxagaz: apt-cache policy [10:12] what about the data that is on the computer, will ubunto be able to access that? MS office files, photos, etc? [10:12] sirad, yes [10:13] so i would dual boot or wipe windows? [10:13] sirad, your choice [10:13] okay thanks [10:13] sirad, is your personal data on the same partition as windows, or a seperate one?

[10:14] sirad, you'll want to dualboot, at least until you get your personal files off the windows side, then [10:14] in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf can next-server be the IP of the local machine, if that's where tftp is going to be installed?

[10:36] mr_boo: no, it's just attempting to crash your irc client or router... [10:36] mr_boo: most likely a hack-attempt [10:36] Can I disable DCC altogether somehow?

[12:16] Hi.. i know this is no kubuntu support channel. but maybe people here wiling to help.. i have black screen problem with Kubuntu Karmic after KDM logon. here's the screenshot http://imagebin.org/71964 . i never have this problem in the previous release of kubuntu and i hope anybody here can help me. thank you [12:16] nicolauli: well your packages are healthy and sudo clearly works so i can't see any issues [12:17] indus: also, on a side note, i reinstalled it the first time using a 8.10 livecd, and on my hdd I have version 9.10, you think that could be the issue? [12:17] EvaLuaTe: hmm no [12:17] EvaLuaTe: but maybe because 9.10 uses grub 2 [12:17] ActionParsnip: So what could be wrong? Coz am using wubi in windows? could it be that? [12:17] petsounds, does t is happen even after a reboot? [12:17] indus: I also have a 9.10 livecd. I'll try that one... [12:18] nicolauli: not sure, what did you say your issue was? [12:18] EvaLuaTe: steps are different with that [12:18] indus: is there an online tutorial for it? [12:18] EvaLuaTe: i cant advice, probably just run grub-install [12:18] !grub [12:18] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [12:18] !grub2 [12:18] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [12:18] coz_ : yes, on its 2nd reboot. [12:18] EvaLuaTe: that one [12:18] ActionParsnip : I got error CONVERSION FAILED. SEEMS A BUG OF MENCODER [12:18] What do I do? [12:18] petsounds, and did anyone in #kubuntu help with this issue? [12:19] indus: ok, thank you [12:19] EvaLuaTe: if you understand it let me know :D [12:19] plustax: log a bug then i guess [12:19] ActionParsnip: I cannot install/unistall software, I cannot 'see' into windows anymore [12:19] Dunno how. [12:19] plustax: you could try handbrak or winff if it will convert it [12:19] hello! the power went off and i lost all my work on the gimp... any ideas how to restore my work? [12:19] okay [12:20] lemme search the software center for those things. [12:20] nicolauli: well you just did, you reinstalled gedit over the top of gedit using the command I just gave [12:20] coz_ : not yet, people on #kubuntu is less responsive :( [12:20] nikos_: well, unless you saved it you cant [12:20] indus: ok :) [12:20] EvaLuaTe: you lost grub after installing windows? [12:20] petsounds, that might just be time of day for their timezone I would hold on until someone answers there ...since I dont use kde i wouldnt be much help with this [12:21] nikos_: restore from backup [12:21] ActionParnsip: Yes I did but I still cannot do anything as I do not have the rights of the adminstator!!! [12:21] nicolauli: no, but sudo and gksudo give you the rights, thats what the admin group is for [12:21] indus: no, after _trying_ to install windows [12:21] what backup? [12:21] hi there [12:21] <_5moufl> hi [12:21] yeah what backup [12:21] nikos_: your backup that you run periodically incase of emergency [12:21] EvaLuaTe: lol [12:21] EvaLuaTe: ok [12:22] how do i convert an local .cda file to ogg? ( its on the hard drive ) [12:22] EvaLuaTe: try grub1 8.10 live cd, its easier [12:22] <_5moufl> anyone knows why my videos are blue with ubuntu ? [12:22] <_5moufl> it displays wrong colors [12:22] hmm.. don't have... [12:22] indus: the configuration of my hdd won't let my install windows right now. I only have a primary partition and a extended one. On the primary one I have ubuntu and wanted to install windows to the extended one. Appearantly windows doesn't support getting installed on a extended partition though... [12:22] _5moufl: check the video setting hue etc [12:22] nikos_: then the data is disposable [12:22] hello guy [12:23] ActionParsnip winff worked perfectly. Thank you sir. [12:23] noone runs backups periodically unless you are in some company [12:23] plustax: np man [12:23] <_5moufl> indus where ? [12:23] _5moufl: what application\ [12:23] yellabs: cda is just a meta-format, use oggenc for ogg-encoding of audio-files [12:23] ActionParSnip: When I try to go into 'windows' from my ubuntu it gives me "UNABLE TO MOunt windows" "Authentification is required" [12:23] _5moufl: what are you playing? which player , is the rest of the display ok [12:24] yellabs: yeah .cda is not a format really [12:24] <_5moufl> it's the same with the default player and vlc [12:24] nicolauli: then fire up a terminal and mount from there, or add an entry in /etc/fstab so it mounts at boot [12:24] _5moufl: video is bad then, all videos are blue? [12:24] hey guys I have a few apps that are in the Startup Applications but they are not starting up when Ubuntu boots, where could I see a log to see why they are not starting?

[12:25] if i woudl remane it to lets say wav, it doe not play either [12:25] <_5moufl> indus all videos are blue (people in fact are blue) [12:25] yellabs: "file yourfile.cda" [12:25] !mount | nicolauli [12:25] nicolauli: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [12:25] _5moufl: can i see a screenshot [12:25] coz_ : i have patience but now i have my campus work to do. so i guess reinstalling with ubuntu is saving my time. thanks anyway :) [12:26] .cda: RIFF (little-endian) data [12:26] <_5moufl> indus that's odd because my screenshots are normal :s [12:26] anyone have any ideas and can help me out?

[12:33] divider, yea it varies from client to client the standard seems to be : though [12:33] jcrawford: log out, log in and pick the most recent logfile in that directory. Hopefully that will tell you something. I'm not an expert on your issue though... ;-) [12:34] nicolauli: open a terminal first, and type sudo su. what does it say. [12:34] yellabs: ok [12:34] nicolauli, is your user the first user that was created when Ubuntu was installed? [12:34] dutchbuntu, i just used grep on the files in /var/log nothing contains WhatPulse or gnome-do [12:34] divider: its says: root@ubuntu:/home/nicolauli# [12:34] Is it possible to redirect audio output over the network to a windows PC? I know you can do pulseaudio to pulseaudio but thats not available on windows... [12:35] grep -i "gnome-do" .* [12:35] halitech: yes it is [12:35] nicolauli, what does running groups in a terminal tell you?

[12:35] any one can help [12:36] _5moufl: whats pilots [12:36] Flynsarmy, you can use VLC to stream to another computer [12:36] <_5moufl> proprietary I guess [12:36] divider: usermod: user 'admin' does not exist [12:36] nicolauli: sorry i'm tired, the correct command is - usermod -G admin nicolauli [12:36] <_5moufl> so I don't have graphic effects anymore :p [12:36] i guess i could just use my .profile to start the apps but I figured Ubuntu's Startup Applications app would work [12:36] Halitech, that won't help me for things such as pidgin sounds [12:36] halitech it says nicolauli adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare [12:36] Hi all - Where can I go to ask a question about Google Deskletts and when you reboot the applets dont remember your settings (account information) ? thanks [12:37] <_5moufl> brb [12:37] brijith- ijust hang n reboot [12:37] divider: -: command not found [12:37] Flynsarmy, ok, you didn't say what sounds you wanted to stream to a windows computer, thought you wanted music [12:37] anyone have any thoughts as to why applications in my Startup Applications would not start up when I logged into the system? [12:37] jcrawford: check $HOME/.xsession-errors [12:37] nicolauli: no get rid of the - infront of it. [12:37] cankoy, checking now [12:38] nicolauli: the - was to tell you that the command was everything after it. [12:38] i just start upgrade my system under knoppix ...may not a good idea ...take time ... [12:38] divider: it says: usermod: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later.

Perhaps it's not running? [12:39] divider: what does that mean [12:39] but nothing pertaining to gnome-do or WhatPulse [12:39] how to update most fast? it's on [12:39] divider, is the short version for those that have no patience for the 'endless' man [12:39] nicolauli: type sudo su [12:40] nicolauli: then type usermod -G admin nicolauli [12:40] nicolauli: in the same terminal [12:40] divider it says: root@ubuntu:/home/nicolauli# [12:40] if i cut the connection , what happenend ? just fix broken package and that's it? [12:40] <_5moufl> indus > now we know that the proprietay drievrs are the problem [12:40] nicolauli: are you running the live cd or have you installed it? [12:40] Hi. Anyone knows of an alternative to cdc-acm? [12:40] _5moufl: which version, try 173 [12:41] jcrawford: are those shell scripts? [12:41] divider, or 'sudo password root' and then su (not recommended) [12:41] i have error 15 [12:41] cankoy, here is the file: http://pastebin.com/m23e1ebfe [12:41] didvider: it is this: root@ubuntu:/home/nicolauli# usermod -G admin nicolauli [12:41] cankoy, nope they are binaries [12:41] I have a quick question. I have gtk recordmydesktop to do just that. Now, how do I make it so that it records audio coming from my songbird or from youtube? I tried it but it recorded terribly from my external speakers. [12:41] can som 1 help me out [12:41] also DropBox does not auto start like it should [12:41] <_5moufl> indus > I was using 185 [12:41] nicolauli: that is correct. [12:41] !ask | ubuntu [12:41] ubuntu: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:41] <_5moufl> I'll try 173 [12:41] so WhatPulse, Gnome-DO and DropBox [12:41] Anyone know of a way to redirect all PC audio from a ubuntu machine t a windows one via lan? [12:41] indus > now we know that the proprietay drievrs are the problem [12:41] divider: I installed ubuntu using wubi in windows and am I use dual boot with XP [12:41] _5moufl: i had color problems with that so i sue 173 [12:41] Younder: the reason I had him do it that was to test if he has sudo rights. [12:41] Hi all - Where can I go to ask a question about Google Deskletts and when you reboot the applets dont remember your settings (account information) ? thanks [12:42] <_5moufl> I know people with the same computer and they don't have problem (I think so) [12:42] Flynsarmy: you can setup a VLC streamingserver and have clients connect to it, but it will only play what vlc plays [12:42] nicolauli: is your problem with ubuntu or windows? [12:42] divider: what can I do next? [12:42] droomio: nvidia drivers 185 are a problem for some users , to be precise [12:42] divider, again either way will work. [12:42] divider: am in ubuntu [12:42] nicolauli: reboot your system [12:43] I have a quick question. I have gtk recordmydesktop to do just that. Now, how do I make it so that it records audio coming from my songbird or from youtube? I tried it but it recorded terribly from my external speakers. [12:43] nilu [12:43] ActionParsnip, yea i'm looking for everything the ubuntu machine plays in any program automatically being passed to the windows machine [12:43] i m workin on 9.04 and open som video file then it hang up [12:43] divider: I hope I will find you here [12:43] Younder: yes but some people disable the ability to su root [12:43] nicolauli: you will. [12:43] has anyone got espeak working without vhipmunk/other issues [12:43] divider: thanks alot [12:43] i restart it but it cant boot [12:43] it worked fine in arch, but buntu dont seem to like it [12:43] Flynsarmy: you may be able to use some sort of "record what i hear" config to then pipe the audio to vlc [12:44] divider, true - but it is still just a matter of setting the password [12:44] display error 15 then press any key to cont [12:44] Younder: the issue wasn't a root password, the issue was his main account had no admin rights. [12:44] hey...how do i delete the GRUB menu?i uninstalled ubuntu..and it still shows Ubuntu & Windows when i start my pc...i dont have any windows cd :( [12:44] Bonz: i know what you mean and no :( you could try setting a lower speed maybe [12:45] as i press it then it goes back to boot menu [12:45] that all [12:45] u8untu, supergrub should work for you [12:45] brb [12:45] divider, well if you have acess yo chenge the passwd file you have adminrights [12:45] u8untu: try the supergrubbootdisk , or track down a windows cd somewhere. Or if you knew the right commandsfor grub you could type in the proper commands to make it boot the windows system [12:45] how [12:45] Flynsarmy, what's the end goal of what you're trying to do? Are your good speakers on your windows system? [12:46] Younder: to change the /etc/passwd you need admin rights. [12:46] halitech-how [12:46] starcraftman, yep. i'm trying ot pass audio from laptop with inbuilt speakers to desktop ith surround sound :) [12:46] divider, yes, sorry for the typoes [12:46] I have a quick question. I have gtk recordmydesktop to do just that. Now, how do I make it so that it records audio coming from my songbird or from youtube? I tried it but it recorded terribly from my external speakers. [12:46] Bonz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7249081 could help [12:46] Younder: which he did not have. however his root had no password. [12:47] divider, so it works well to see if yo can change the too [12:47] Flynsarmy: I believe audacity has the ability to take the sound output and put that into a file. [12:47] <_5moufl> indus > 173 semms to be good, quite slower maybe [12:47] Dr_Willis i dont know the right commands..and..i dont find anywhere my windows..the cd is at my relatives.in italy :| [12:47] ubuntu, u8untu http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [12:47] divider: am back. Its still the same [12:47] <_5moufl> I'll retry the last one later [12:47] starhash, that wont help me. needs to be realtime [12:47] Younder: I prefer sudo su, it keeps me from compromising my root password. [12:47] divider, that is the standard on ubuntu [12:47] _5moufl: depends which card you have [12:47] <_5moufl> or maybe I can dl em on nvidia [12:47] <_5moufl> cause I have a quadroFX [12:48] nicolauli: you cannot access what part of your filesystem? [12:48] u8untu: try the supergrubbootdisk like its been suggested then. Or try #windows for other suggestions [12:48] dr_willis rt command [12:48] Flynsmary: As audacity is writing to the file, have VLC stream to VLC on Windows. Complicated, but if you really need alert sounds on surround sound ... [12:48] divider, I mentioned that it is (not recomended) [12:48] Dr_Willis and what must i do..download cdrom? or what? :| [12:48] divider: I cannot see the 'windows' or rather mount windows. I cannot install/unistall [12:48] Younder: By whom, Linus recommends it. [12:49] <_5moufl> indus> a quadroFX [12:49] nicolauli: you mean you cannot see your windows partition? [12:49] wtf it's like the startup applications are not working at all [12:49] <_5moufl> Quadro somtg [12:49] gah [12:49] divider, It does however solve another problem. Login in if gnome fails. [12:49] Younder: in 9.10 that option was removed from grub to drop to a root shell. [12:49] Yes I cannot go into it. I only see it on the disk manager but cant 'enter' it [12:49] divider, Linus uses redhat. [12:50] Younder: Linus uses KDE. [12:50] divider: I cant 'go in' [12:50] Question: How to increase font size in Empathy IM? Or is it part of the "radical simplicity" of GNOME not to have an option for that. (Other than increasing system font size) [12:50] divider: you can get a root shell in grub2 in ubuntu..... [12:50] nicolauli, do you have ntfsprog and ntfs-3g installed? [12:50] u8untu: google for 'super grub cd' [12:50] divider, KDI is a interface, not a Linux distribution. [12:50] what are those and how do u know? [12:50] ActionParsnip: with what command. [12:50] KDE [12:50] u8untu, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [12:50] can any one help me [12:50] halitech: what are those and how do u know? [12:51] nicolauli, they are programs that allow you to mount and do things with ntfs partitions [12:51] divider: no commands, select recovery mode for your kernel, then select root from the next menu, root recovery console is yours [12:51] i hav no idea what to do [12:51] nicolauli, check synaptic [12:51] I'm looking into building a linux cluster for queueing (and executing) tens of thousands of jobs (processes). Half of them are CPU intense and half of them are IO limited. What is the best approach? [12:51] ubuntu: what are you trying to do, view a movie file? [12:51] i m not able to boot my system [12:51] Younder: correct. But! Ubuntu = GDM [12:51] Halitech but isnt there any..command in cmd promt...to delete that GRUB stuff :| [12:51] ubuntu, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297261 [12:51] halitech: how can I chek if they are installed or rather intall them afresh [12:51] yes [12:52] ubuntu: Do you have anything important on your system? (I.e., is it your main system with all your documents?) [12:52] u8untu, not without a windows cd [12:52] _5moufl: ooh old card? [12:52] divider: gdm = gdm, ubuntu = ubuntu, gdm != ubuntu [12:52] ActionParsnip: I recive no option when booting stage2 to select a kernel nor recovery mode.

[12:52] Halitech i have other windows cd`s..but one is hungarian..one is simple xp...mine is xp sp3 final :| [12:52] ActionParsnip: are you saying that clearly ubuntu does not use the gnome display manager. [12:52] <_5moufl> indus no a professional one [12:53] halitech: which command can I use to download the mouner files?

[12:53] divider: im not saying it doesnt use it, many many distros use gdm [12:53] Younder: that is called Kubuntu [12:53] nicolauli, sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs ntfs-3g [12:53] Younder: which has a separate IRC channel [12:54] Halitech how is the recovery mode? [12:54] divider, duh, whis is still ubuntu [12:54] ubuntu: Of course, you can load up the install live CD or another recovery CD and try to muck around [12:54] ActionParsnip: my grub has no such option to enter that menu. [12:54] Ubuntu 9.10 can not drop me into a root shell in Recovery mode? [12:54] u8untu, when the install starts and you get the option to install, hit R to go to the recovery console [12:54] divider, And you think every user here knows this?

[12:55] Halitech but i have..only ..install / delete partition and create partition [12:55] divider: in a standard grub2 (or grub) there is an option to boot to a recovery cosole so you can dig yourselfout of oles if stuff goes wrong [12:56] <[A]KangB> hey! i was away for 4 hours, when i come to the computer, y have 200 petitions of files' reciving...

[12:56] ubuntu: By the way, do you have a separate partition for home? If you do, you're in luck, just reinstall to your system partition, and leave your home partition alone. *note: you have to specify your partitioning scheme in the setup, though. [12:56] nicolauli, under applications, not sure where yours will show as I use XFCE [12:56] hello, i was filling this HD with random data with 'dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdb', but the process crashed in about 125GB of 250GB.

[12:57] How do I replace the installed version of openssl against a downloaded source version without breaking package-dependencies? [12:57] ubuntu: I have a couple of 16GB system partitions (for trying out different distributions, and different versions of Ubuntu), and a 800GB home partition. That way, no matter what system I'm in, I still have access to my files. Also, I can fully blow away a system installation, and still have my files. [12:57] nicolauli, may need to reboot to have it show up or refresh your menu somehow [12:58] halitech: okay [12:58] aozturk: you can use network-manager for all your networking needs [12:58] <_5moufl> indus ?

You can do this during the installation (which will be easiest). [12:59] Or you can just put your files on USB, and do a normal re-install.

[13:02] Younder, that cannot handle sources (there's no package for openssl-0.9.8l as of now, is there?), can it? [13:02] thank you! [13:03] ubuntu: By the way, here's something else you can do besides reinstall: Run a live CD, and install Start Up Manager. sudo apt-get install startupmanager [13:03] Yes, it'll just be installing to memory, but still. Run it (from Administration menu), it should update your grub files for every operatating system you have installed. Then reboot and hopefully your ubuntu will boot. [13:03] nicolauli, when you did the install, did it actually install or did you get an error? you need to have sudo working in order to install [13:03] Halitech: he has sudo working [13:03] <_5moufl> divider maybé you wasnt talking to me ^ [13:03] _5moufl: okay then. if you need help just ask. [13:03] Halitech: it did install. I saw all the lists, package working, fetching all that kind of stuff well [13:04] hello [13:04] datim, no it doesn't handle sources.

[13:04] divider, ok, wasn't following along completely so didn't see that was working [13:04] richardsims, you can try unetbootin if you have access to a WIndows PC. As you probably already know, the latest Ubuntu live CD has a live USB creator. [13:04] anyone able to help me with adobe flash sound issues? [13:04] datim, You need the CVS, SVN, GIT whatever aoount for that. [13:04] _5moufl: ive always manually added repos in sources.list and manually imported keys [13:04] Halitech: His issue is complicated. [13:04] nicolauli, no idea where it is then, sorry, XFCE menus are different and mine is under system - ntfs config [13:04] datim, Take a look at their web site. [13:05] divider, I gathered that from what I've caught [13:05] Halitech now its worse :| [13:05] halitech: what about using the recovery mode [13:05] Halitech: I'm not 100% on what he is trying to do either. His responses are vague. [13:05] Halitech i have..: windows... ubuntu ..super grub disk..when i restart pc :| [13:05] datim, some tarballs have a outdated, but usually stable version of it. [13:06] divider: I am new to this. [13:06] kyle6513, is it a new installation of Karmic? [13:06] i dont know how to use super grub :| [13:06] <_5moufl> ActionParsnip any tuto ? [13:06] starhash: lol but I have to boot ubuntu for that :P Ill try unetbootin on my HTPC then [13:06] Hello [13:06] nicolauli: are dual booting? can you select windows from the grub menu? [13:06] _5moufl: its correct, just that step is enough [13:06] Younder, the sources are available from http://www.openssl.org/source/ - shouldn't I be able to use that somehow? Maybe create a package out of it so I can install via packet-manager? [13:06] u8untu, I've never used it, did you read the docs to go along with supergrub? [13:06] _5moufl: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [13:06] _5moufl: u using karmic right? [13:06] starhash, yes it is, just downloaded flash via the thing that pops up and it decides not to play any sound whatsoever :( [13:06] <_5moufl> indus yes [13:06] _5moufl: then its enough [13:06] divider: yes I am. where is the grub menu? [13:06] _5moufl: just reload [13:06] I bought a new Lenovo g550, now my wireless doesnt work :( [13:06] richardsims: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ Good luck [13:07] _5moufl: paste the repo lines from that guide I gave (making sure you make the release name match yours) [13:07] datim, ose the verson control system they describe [13:07] starhash: Thanks :) [13:07] nicolauli: are you trying to get back into windows natively? [13:07] Does anyone know if the latest version of the Nicotine client make it's way into Ubuntu's repos yet? [13:07] _5moufl: save the file. the guide I gave also gives the command to import the key [13:07] kyle6513, sorry to ask, but I assume you've already restarted Firefox or your computer a couple of times. [13:07] <_5moufl> indus yep [13:07] divider: i am in ubuntu, and i would like to 'go' or 'enter' windows from here [13:07] <_5moufl> forgot that [13:07] How do I get my wireless to work? [13:07] Or at the very least, How do I check what version a package is presently in the repos? [13:07] Is Cloud One or whatever usable in Xubuntu as well? [13:07] _5moufl: you can then run the update / install commands you pastd ealier [13:07] astrojp: sudo aptitude install Nicotine [13:07] hello, i was filling this HD with random data with 'dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdb', but the process crashed in about 125GB of 250GB. Can I start from where it stopped, maybe using 'seek' ? [13:07] nicolauli: have you tried vmware / virtualbox yet ? [13:08] _5moufl: so after reload, you can find this driver in synaptic [13:08] <_5moufl> ActionParsnip don't worry it's working with the two commands I showed you [13:08] mwallner: no, i am using wubi [13:08] starhash, yes i have, dont be sorry, i know what its like to have people ask for a problem fixed only to find out that its a simple app restart :P [13:08] linux is for bores [13:08] steven_: if its in ubuntu, you can use it in any buntu [13:08] <_5moufl> indus yep i'm doing it in cammand line but yes === master is now known as ashiswin [13:08] _5moufl: good enough [13:08] divider, Why do you use aptitude instead od apt-get? [13:08] nicolauli: ok, right - sorry.. never worked with wubi before ^^ [13:08] nicolauli: you need to reboot and select windows from the grub menu. That is how dual booting works, grub is a bootloader allowing you to choose which operating system you which to load into. [13:09] mwallner: wubi is for ubuntu. I enter into windows [13:09] Younder: aptitude will allow you to see if the program exists in synaptic [13:09] richardsims: Be aware that there are two ways of USB installation: one is put the 650MB CD file on a USB and dynamically decompress it upon boot. The other is to write out all the files like a normal install to a hard disk. The latter is better, but problematic. The creator (and unetbootin) creates the former (as far as I remember). [13:09] Younder: then you can apt-get install the program [13:09] does anyone know a good virtual-piano in ubuntu-repos ? [13:09] divider: oh I get it. I can do that well. it works. But I dont want to log into windows. I wnat to be in ubuntu [13:09] kyle6513, does your audio otherwise work (i.e., simple .ogg files) [13:10] divider, thx, I just try and err [13:10] !find piano [13:10] ty [13:10] File piano found in childsplay, csound-doc, frescobaldi, fvwm-crystal, gcompris-data (and 16 others) [13:10] starhash: what about usb-creator (not the same as unetbootin) [13:10] richardsims: if you are planning on usb booting use unetbootin [13:10] starhash, yep everything works as it should, though flash is being stubborn >=( [13:10] starhash: sorry i misunderstood [13:10] nicolauli: okay then what is the problem? lol; [13:10] hm .. does anyone know how to enable midi-sounds?

[13:20] Is it possible to run a virtual box vdi over the network? [13:20] starhash, i dont think that worked, i flipped through each one as a flash video was playing and i didnt get any sound, and i know this has sound to it. [13:20] nicolauli: Did you do anything to change? [13:20] divider: ubuntu! [13:20] nicolauli, do you have anything in the ubuntu install you want to keep? [13:20] Hello! I would like to use parallel computing with gimp, that is having the heavy image computing done on another (faster) computer than the one I am using. Do you know any way to do this? (maybe that's not the good channel to ask this, would you indicate me the right one in that case?) [13:20] napster: edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg, be careful to back it up first [13:20] nicolauli: okay then, if your in the admins group you should have admin rights. [13:20] nicolauli: does sudo -i work? [13:20] starhash: yes he has sudo [13:20] napster, you could render your system ubootable [13:21] divider: yeah all the softwares I have downloaded [13:21] rocknroll00, don't! [13:21] divider: Ok, ahead and handle him, thanks. [13:21] Halitech: He targeted me and said yeah, he wants to keep em. [13:21] rocknroll00, use OZ or Erlang.. [13:21] divider: its brings root@ubuntu ... [13:21] starhash: will do [13:22] nicolauli, I'm talking other then the programs you have installed [13:22] rocknroll00, programming languages [13:22] halitech: well no, I could get them off anyways [13:22] nicolauli: are you in the recovery console? if not don't go in it. [13:22] nicolauli: if you can login to ubuntu, the recovery console isnt needed. [13:22] darkmattr_: cankoy It seems to be a bit complex than the old menu.lst.. Grub 2... :) I think... [13:23] Younder, ok I will look for this.. but is it programming languages or is it softwares for parallel computing? [13:23] divider: like when i reboot? I am not in it. but i cant use my admin rights [13:23] nicolauli, ok, *my* suggestion would be to get rid of the wubi install and do a proper dualboot install but thats just my opinion [13:23] napster, maybe there's a better way now [13:23] rocknroll00, both [13:23] nicolauli: I still am not understanding what you mean by admin rights. [13:23] nicolauli: is it a program or a file or folder that you cannot access? [13:24] halitech: will it affect memory usage greatly [13:24] is there a good(!) "dark" clearlooks theme available somewhere? [13:24] nicolauli, no it won't [13:24] Younder, ok.. so you think Gimp exists with this? [13:24] Halitech: I agree. [13:24] I canot acces windows, and also cannot access the software center [13:24] rocknroll00, paralell computing is hard! you had chosed the wrong tool. [13:24] Halitech: so how I do it and how do I divide the partions? [13:24] nicolauli, you can only run 1 OS at a time and a true install will work better [13:24] rocknroll00, it doesn't. Not in a viable form.. [13:25] nicolauli, how big is your current hard drive? [13:25] nicolauli: use apt-get instead of the software center [13:25] halitech: but I would love to keep all the software I have instaled so far. it is 120 GB [13:25] Younder, ho ok... well maybe I can find another way, like distant desktops... it's just that I am working on a small laptop when I have a big fast computer in my home [13:25] kyle6513, on my system, while I'm playing a movie (with VLC), I can select a different output (such as Analog Mono Output) and then choose another one (such as Analog Headphones), and the sound will change from internal speaker to headphones. Does your system work like this? I.e., can normal movies (that you have on your hard drive) output audio? [13:26] Divider: I think I should install and have a real dual boot [13:26] grub2 > napster [13:26] Halitech: lets go! [13:26] nicolauli: I agree. [13:26] nicolauli, if you don't want to go true install then post on the wubi forum and see if they can help you with the issues you are having [13:26] Younder, I want to work on my laptop but I would like the heavy computation to run on the fast one. [13:26] I have installed ubunto on a separate partition and now grub2 doesn't show the linux install in the boot menu. What to do? [13:26] !fixgrub [13:26] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [13:26] Younder, thanks for your tips [13:26] Can someone helt me to install wireless internett? [13:27] nicolauli, ok, first off, boot into windows, remove wubi and then defrag the hard drive at least twice [13:27] rocknroll00, no problem use the 'remote desktop' options and ling into that higher power computer [13:27] Halitech: got a question for you good sir. [13:27] Does anybody know anything about darknet? === Julia is now known as Janhouse_ [13:27] nicolauli: If you want to easily reinstall your current software, just put /var/cache/apt/archives on a USB flash and then copy it back when you re-install. Then apt-get or synaptic will get the software from your cache, and not the Ubuntu servers. [13:27] I didn't lose grub. I lost the option to boote to Ubuntu from grub [13:27] divider, shoot [13:27] Younder, ok I never tried that but I will :) [13:27] hello [13:27] is mic boost still available somewhere? [13:27] hi [13:28] Halitech: when booting Grub2, I get no option for the kernel or recovery shell. any thoughts? [13:28] halitech: ok after defragment? === Vinceman is now known as vinnie [13:28] nicolauli: download and burn ubuntu [13:28] napster, i see there are a couple of new tools like grub-set-default [13:28] starhash: how big do u think it will be [13:28] divider, no idea, I'm still using grub on debian and I haven't played with my vbox install enough yet to know [13:28] divider: I have it already [13:28] cousin_mario, have you looked under Preferences: Sound? [13:28] darkmattr_: Is it...? [13:28] nicolauli, what cd do you currently have? [13:29] rocknroll00, you need to set up BOTH sides for that [13:29] are all ko files made for v4l? [13:29] starhash, yes, tried mp3's mp4's all sorts of things and the only thing that doesnt work is flash, i could try out a FLV file, dont know what good that would do though [13:29] halitech: karma 9.10 [13:29] I don't have the option to boot into Ubuntu from Grub... [13:29] nicolauli, ok, is it the alt install cd or the live cd? [13:29] Good afternoon :D I've a problem with my eth0-Interface on a Lenovo T61 notebook and Ubuntu 9.10 [13:29] nicolauli, also, how much room do you have free on the drive? [13:29] halitech: The live cd [13:29] nicolauli: betting livecd [13:29] hi, i want to uninstall my downloaded nvidia driver, and restore ubuntu's provided driver, but when i uninstall the driver, i can't start X; even after dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg... how do i completely remove the driver and restore vesa? then let ubuntu reinstall the restricted drivers..using karmic [13:29] nicolauli: du -sh /var/cache/apt/archives/ [13:29] 371M /var/cache/apt/archives/ [13:29] do a du to find out how big yours is. I doubt it'll be bigger than 4GB [13:30] Younder, yes I guess... and the fast computer has only M$ XP installed so I will just run a live CD of ubuntu.. ok, that's my job for today :) [13:30] Hi, uhm, my friend have a problem with his graphics driver (it seems), it gives him blue and green shadows, I suggested that he changed driver to vesa to see if that worked better, but how do you do that in ubuntu 9.10, there's no xorg.conf ? [13:30] That means: My leds on my ethernet inface alre always on, but I cannot connect to a network. [13:30] oj_: whats your nvidia chipset? [13:30] divider, 9500GT [13:30] mikkoh: http://www.mail-archive.com/vnc-list@realvnc.com/msg21738.html [13:30] halitech I have about 2 GB free [13:30] sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-* [13:30] napster, this is needlessly complicated, i preferred the old menu.lst format [13:30] I've a problem with my eth0-Interface on a Lenovo T61 notebook and Ubuntu 9.10 [13:30] That means: My leds on my ethernet inface alre always on, but I cannot connect to a network. [13:30] Swissbite, open a terminal [13:31] always open. [13:31] darkmattr_: Me too buudy...! [13:31] :0 [13:31] oj_: don't reboot after that [13:31] DusteD: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:31] divider, i'm using the 190.14 version from the website, its fine except the video colors are sort of inverted, so i'd like to revert to the old one, but i can't, if i remove it there is no X. [13:31] Swissbite, what does sudo dchlient eth0 return [13:31] kyle6513: I'm out of ideas at the moment. I'd try Ear Candy, though. [13:31] nicolauli, 2gig is all you have free on your drive? forget about it, you can't even defrag windows with only 2 gig free [13:31] starhash, ear candy? [13:31] Swissbite, please paste.ubuntu.com with the output [13:31] rblst, assuming he's a newbie and don't know how to write the file from scratch?

I only checked the audio applet [13:35] nicolauli, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing [13:35] DusteD: have you tried this? sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [13:35] After installing Karmic and grub on a separate partition I don't have the option to boot into linux. What can I do to fix it? [13:35] starhash: I remember it was there in the previous versions [13:35] oj_: yep thats what i'm running, and I've been messing with ati fglrx drivers all day and night. Your lucky tho, I had to ssh into the machine to do that. :P [13:35] paradoxmonkey_: boot live cd, and reinstall/repair grub. [13:35] rocknroll00, if so you should 'sudo apt-et install wine' [13:35] divider, hehe...ty man i'll do it now.. [13:36] apt-get [13:36] cousin_mario: I think it automatically turns boost on if you slide beyond the Unamplified bar on Input tab [13:36] rblst: that command is depreciated.

[13:36] darkmattr_: it is grub-choose-default ... :( [13:36] paradoxmonkey_: time to do some more trouble shooting then and figure out whats its actually doing when you install grub. You should be able to chroot to the installed system and rerun 'update-grub' (IF its a new install of 9.10) its supposed to scan/add all os's [13:37] Younder, now I think... I want to run the remote desktop and specifically GIMP, but with the file system on the laptop (cause that's where the brushes and my pictures are...).. mm sounds complex [13:37] paradoxmonkey_: verify your grub, see if your ubuntu kernel is listed as a bootable source, then update grub to be safe. [13:37] napster, look at /etc/default/grub [13:37] cankoy: not working:/ [13:37] napster, i think that should do what you want [13:37] Younder, now I think... I want to run the remote desktop and specifically GIMP, but with the file system on the laptop (cause that's where the brushes and my pictures are...).. mm sounds complex [13:37] rblst: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [13:37] darkmattr_: Hmm It seems to be...

[13:39] DusteD: you can also try this: Xorg -configure [13:39] rocknroll00, it get's a lot easier if the system on both sides is the same OS, and GIMP runns on both [13:40] Younder, yes? why if GIMP run on both? === jmrodri-gone is now known as jmrodri [13:40] Swissbite, please paste.ubuntu.com with the output of lspci in a terminal [13:40] rocknroll00, they won't talk [13:40] rblst: side note: Xorg -configure doesn't work with ati cads.

[14:07] divider: I dont get it [14:07] sirad: By the way, OOoffice is fine for viewing and making small changes to files without a lot of formatting. You can save in MSoffice format. Try it, it might be sufficient. [14:07] DusteD: at any point was X working fine? [14:07] divider: can you link me a page for doing that (that show example)? Please.. ty [14:08] SmokeyD: yes you can use the built in tools by right clicking on the top bar and selecting add to panel [14:08] divider, yea, he installed it two days ago, it worked like a charm [14:08] interested..

[14:10] jrib, none of that did work. The bug it's been reported 4 or 3 times on launchpad [14:10] that's divider that's a good idea :) [14:10] Hey all... anyone feel strong on GRUB ? My laptop went out of power in the middle of installing 9.10, now all I get is GNU GRUB version 1.97~beta, after reboot. [14:10] divider: I don't get what to write [14:10] Irakirashia: you never did it. [14:10] DusteD: follow that 100% and it will work, reboot afterwards [14:10] Irakirashia, installing an rpm is not the way to go [14:10] divider, aaron11: but the problem is I have flash 10, and there's still a problem with Accept or Deny access to microphone (an Adobe Flash message). You can't click on the buttons. I think I used a workaround before, but I can't remember it. [14:10] hi .. I upgrade my system to 8.10 but I faced many problem is there any way to back to 8.04? [14:10] jrib Of course I did it. I did more. You did not even check the link. If I come here to ask for help it's because I did all I can do. [14:10] Bitbuck: I dont [14:10] divider, You mean it had the unix bug og 1975? the exchangable root problem? [14:11] hello [14:11] SmokeyD: you can build a perlscript / php script to relay thru apache, or you can use ssh with a certain program. give me a minute to lookup the name.

[14:11] bazhang, [14:11] is there any way to make apt download packages from multiple sources for the same deb line (other than host) at the same time? [14:11] starhash: did you get it directly from adobe, flash is up to 10.1 [14:11] !anyone | music_freak [14:11] music_freak: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [14:11] Anyone have trouble with apache and mod rewrite when moving to jaunty? I'm reading http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=845164&page=2 and everything looks good (as far as config) but still mod_rewrite doesn't work [14:11] Irakirashia: I asked you to do something and tell me what happened and you never responded. It was kind of annoying to spend time reading logs and then not get a response in the end. Now you claim no one one helped you :) But let's just drop it [14:12] !doesntwork | craigbass1976 [14:12] craigbass1976: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [14:12] PureIslam, I was away.. How can I help you?

[14:12] Bitbuck: I dont [14:12] Bitbuck: aaron11 has to click on it. He's not bringing up the settings by right clicking, rather, http://www.icall.com/free-phone-calls/ brings up the Flash dialog by itself. It's not a dialog created using Flash, but rather an Adobe Flash system dialog. === Guest45036 is now known as Byte [14:12] Hi Divider thanks... well the problem is that everytime i boot up i get this error "one or more of mounts listed in /etc/fstam cannot yet be mounted" [14:12] jrib I'm sorry about that. I was fixing things, and what you told me to do did nothing at all. I was really on a bad mood, don't want to format.

[14:13] grammar [14:13] starhash: do you have a solution [14:13] there is no speek in english [14:13] jrib don't pay attention to that, I tried installing it with a deb later, and same thing happens, it hangs out. I already found 7 people on the forum with the same issue and no response yet. Also found new threads on launchpad with same issue, and no response too. So I'm not the only one. [14:14] divider, OK I have 10,0,32,18 installed. aaron11, why don't you upgrade to the latest and report back? By the way, this has been a problem for while now in Linux Flash. [14:14] son_of_steel: you mean unalocated partition? [14:14] erUSUL: thanks a lot [14:14] divider : which version? [14:14] that looks interesting [14:14] wat was tat? [14:14] starhash: give me url [14:14] 0.7.0 [14:14] Hajex: should be the one below your toplist [14:14] Hajex: Non-recovery [14:14] aha thanks divider [14:15] Irakirashia: I think the last thing I suggested was for you to remove "open-office.org-filter-bin", but that hangs, correct? Then I asked you to check if another package hangs (that doesn't depend on -filter-bin) also hangs [14:15] Divider.. yes that is true.. there might be something messy with the way my file system is.. because my HD is realy 160 but it can only find 150 gb.. i tried to merge the unalocated partioton into the ubuntu boot partition but it just disapeard [14:15] Irakirashia: actually, now your forum post shows an error, that's because you hit ctrl-c, or did it do that on its own? [14:16] Divider yes i meant unalocated partition [14:16] Hajex: work? [14:16] PureIslam, Do your best, but start at the beginning [14:16] bazhang, my problem sounds like this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/436370 [14:16] starhash: How do we.

[14:25] jimmy51_: its 2xram for <2gb ram [14:26] Younder, stay on topic and keep the channel family friendly. [14:26] steven_, i believe IMAP is more secure, but im not too sure [14:26] naadde: you need to specify what filesystem is on your usb drive. what os did it get formatted on? [14:26] !imap [14:26] IMAP and POP are protocols for fetching email. The officially-supported server in Ubuntu is Dovecot (packages "dovecot-imapd" for IMAP, and "dovecot-pop3d" for POP) - See also !MailServer for information on the SMTP protocol [14:26] ActionParsnip: ok, thanks [14:26] kyle6513: no problem.

[14:27] ageeb: yes for things like aim and yahoo [14:27] Oh, sure jrib. Just removed nmap, and then installed it using aptitude. After that it still tries to install that openoffice filterbin package. [14:27] So jrib, dpkg is working great. [14:27] divider:: so it's auto-sensing? [14:27] kyle6513: OK, just enter the apt-get line from above to install startupmanager, and then run it from Aministration: Startup Manager [14:27] Irakirashia: pastebin /var/lib/dpkg/info/openoffice.org-filter-binfilter* [14:27] !cups [14:27] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[14:29] divider: no I can't format it [14:29] that's the problem [14:29] aaron11: I'm already connecting, and it shows a dialpad. What's your phone number? :) [14:29] It won't mount and it won't format [14:29] tried formating it with mac and windows too [14:29] naadde: sudo fdisk /dev/sdb1 [14:29] naadde: there ya go [14:29] it ain't sdb1 it's just sdb === benoit_ is now known as Dopps [14:30] naadde: lol, you have no allacation for disk space. no wonder it doesn't work.

XD [14:32] llutz: it also makes no sense to attempt to out fox someone. [14:32] llutz: if your not apart of the solution your apart of the problem sir. [14:32] aaron11: Admins, just kidding about the phone numbers. [14:32] jrib Oh, I'm sorry. Want me to do it? Or you handle that [14:32] can you give me an advice for a mp3 player to use only under ubuntu 9.10 ? i have an ipod touch but the support is poor :( [14:32] starhash: Just try :P [14:33] Irakirashia: i got it. Change "set -e" to "set -x -e" in the postinst script and let aptitude try to finish installing -binfilter again [14:33] I play videos sometimes ... by double-clicking on them .. this opens "movie player" ... often this will take me to the login screen!

[14:35] Younder divider so, how did this happen and how can I fix? [14:35] what should U do? [14:35] skyl: redownload the ubuntu iso, reburn and reinstall. [14:35] and this mac osx thing looks like a new one... (but maybe it is the guy that send me the font that did some nonsense) [14:35] wiiguy: yeah switch to dsl. :P [14:35] the component isn't essential just the stupid session restore [14:36] wiiguy: use a lighter desktop like xfce4 or lxde [14:36] pls help [14:36] ActionParsnip Wont work, loads to grub. Is there anything useful I can do from grub ? [14:36] hello? [14:36] ok jrib http://pastie.org/702555, line 124? [14:36] wiiguy: what ActionParsnip: said [14:36] Skyl: you reinstall [14:36] Byte: not sure, i'm sure you could but ive not done it [14:36] Irakirashia: yeah [14:36] jrib becuase there are a lot of set -e in the paste, ok :) [14:36] I GOT A VIRUS its a file bounceattack it keeps duplicating every second [14:36] Irakirashia: /var/lib/dpkg/info/openoffice.org-filter-binfilter.postinst [14:36] ActionParsnip Ok thanks alot for trying to help, mate. Appreciated. [14:36] aerora: turn of the machine. [14:36] !exploit | aerora [14:36] aerora: There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit [14:36] Younder reinstall what? [14:37] divider, that is not helpful [14:37] Skyl: sorry I can't be more spesific, but you have a serious problem there. What else doesn't work? [14:37] hello [14:37] this install has been working for everything for some months now [14:37] wiiguy: you can also reduce TTYs but it doesnt do a lot [14:37] hey guys. maybe someone remembers me from yesterday for trying to install karmic trough unetbootin with a iso. I had problems booting afterwards and tried several things to no avail.The solution I found to work was using unetbootin with a ubuntu minimal netinstall iso wich is roughly 12mb in size. i installed ubuntu core then added gnome desktop. system works great [14:37] bazhang: well i was in the middle of typing the next part, what I was gonna say was, "then bootup a live cd" [14:37] Skyl: does rythmbox work. [14:37] yeah jrib, did it, now gonna test, cross fingers :x [14:38] Irakirashia: it won't change anything, just give more info [14:38] Skyl: This only happens with the use of 'update' [14:38] divider, that is not necessary either. It was referencing the bounceattack.txt from earlier. [14:38] Is it possible to use grub to change boot options, if so how so ? [14:38] Skyl: so a reinstall is guarantied to clear up these problems [14:38] bazhang: wasn't here for that. [14:38] hi .. I upgrade my system to 8.10 but voice stop working and display this msg ((audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback.)) [14:38] wiiguy: you can also use lighter faster equivelants to common apps, instead of firefox and openoffice, use arora or kazehakase and abiword/gnumeric [14:38] Skyl: sorry to be so bleak [14:39] Oh jrib ,just realized lol [14:39] Byte: what options? [14:39] anyone got any issues oustanding or unresolved? [14:39] jrib http://pastie.org/702565.txt [14:39] ok i will try those things [14:39] back [14:39] ty :) [14:39] and its still duplicating [14:39] hi .. I upgrade my system to 8.10 but voice stop working and display this msg ((audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback.)) [14:40] Younder, telling to reinstall at first glance is not helpful advice. Please dont. [14:40] starhash, no luck with earcandy or all the pulseaudio utilities i installed [14:40] Irakirashia: so now we know it hangs on the /usr/lib/ure/bin/regcomp call. I don't know anything about it, so let's google... [14:40] darkmattr_: sorry to hear that. [14:40] starhash, how does that program work to configure my bootup? it seems to me like it just displays what the grub.cfg file does. [14:40] bazhang, The sofware! Not the system. And it does help! I had the same problem myself.. [14:41] hello, could someone help me figuring out why my dns server works on my pc, but it wont in the LAN? [14:41] wiiguy: what spec is the "slow" system? [14:41] starhash : Make computer boot from LiveDvD instead of from HD. Laptop went out of power mid-install with 9.10, and now only grub is useable. [14:41] Younder, you mentioned nothing about the software. [14:41] bazhang, I'ts gotta do with old libraries. [14:41] ActionParsnip atm i know it has 256mb dont know how amny ghz it has [14:42] wiiguy: yeah xubuntu or lxde will help as they are lighter than Gnome [14:42] Irakirashia: try running that last line yourself and see if you get anything useful [14:42] so i should download "xubuntu" ? [14:42] xubuntu is no lighter than gnome in my experience, but lxde is actually very lean. [14:42] wiiguy: if it has 256 megs of ram, you should be fine with some lighter software like ActionParsnip suggested. [14:42] what is the package to install a kernel on ubuntu? [14:42] kyle6513: less /boot/grub/grub.cfg [14:42] The program just automatically finds all O/S from all your partitions and writes them to grub.cfg. Check out the file to make sure they are written. [14:42] lodder: linux-image [14:42] The trouble I have is that one system only has 128M of RAM, and neither xubuntu nor gnome will work with that little, but lxde has no trouble at all. [14:42] ok i will try "xubuntu" :) [14:43] ty for ya help guys :) [14:43] jrib we're not the only ones with that issue lol, ok, let me do it [14:43] wiiguy: also look into enabling compcache [14:43] 128 MiB? Challenging [14:43] starhash, I've always known theyre written :P its the fact that they never show up in the grub menu, the defaults just say there :S [14:43] erUSUL: apt-get install linux-image? [14:43] stay* [14:43] i should use "xubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso" right ? [14:43] Just remember children, you can install linux on a potato. [14:43] binrapt: compcache adds some 50 % extra. Choice of applications does the rest, for instance epiphany instead of firefox. [14:43] nopes jrib, it hangs out [14:43] bazhang, sorry if that could be misunderstood [14:44] wiiguy: yes, that is the 32bit ISO [14:44] I guess I'd try fluxbox or something [14:44] Instead of gnome [14:44] ok ty [14:44] divider : does that apply to potatoes with password protected bios's too ? [14:44] downloading now [14:44] hi [14:44] Irakirashia: back to learning wth it is... pastebin the strace for it [14:44] Byte: lmao. Who knows? [14:44] xfce is really lightweight also [14:44] kyle6513, OK, so your grub.cfg lists all your operating system installs, but when you reboot, grub doesn't show you a list of options? I assume you have a timeout of 10 seconds so you can choose your OS. [14:44] how can i see all panel items , even those that i can't see [14:44] wiiguy: you may get a faster install using the alternate, it uses a text based installer [14:44] Hi everyone. [14:44] it's messed up my panel [14:45] i'm going to uninstall pulseaudio [14:45] darkmattr_: not getting sound? [14:45] Helsinkiii: the panel items will usually be visible, or they wil need re-adding, you can reset your panels to defaults if you like [14:45] Sorry jrib, the strace? What do you mean by that? (damn idiomatic barriers :P) [14:45] I have a (web) server running on a computer on a custom port. Now, I need to make a demo of the application but my current connexion blocks access to that port, presumably due to an overzealous proxy. [14:45] ActionParsnip:how [14:45] Irakirashia: strace COMMAND [14:46] starhash, yeah, it gives me 10 seconds but i only have the default ubuntu and memtest options, nothing else, although i have setup two other entrys directly linked to vector linux, one manual, the other automatic [14:46] !panelfix | Helsinkiii [14:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about panelfix [14:46] !panel [14:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about panel [14:46] I'd like to make a redirection from port, say, 81 to my custom port 2009. [14:46] Byte: Usually, in most PC's boot order, the CD will boot before the harddrive. You should be able to set this in BIOS. (Press Del, F1, F9, F10, etc. upon boot, depending on the correct key for your computer) [14:46] divider, simultaneous output over both speakers and headphones, erratic sound, endless suppressed event streams in /var/log/messages [14:46] darkmattr_: old one. You need to set the priveleges to got sound [14:46] ActionParsnip:my windows selector became really small. all ym windows get crammed into a couple inches [14:46] Preferably without messing up with IPtables -- that didn't go too well last time I tried. [14:46] Any suggestion? [14:46] !resetpanel [14:46] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [14:47] jrib it hangs out too http://pastie.org/702577 [14:47] Yoric, It woks fine.. But I suggest you use UFW as it is simpler to use [14:47] darkmattr_: your solution is radio shack, they have an injecting dongle for $4. :) [14:47] Yoric, Mind you it is jst a frontend to iptables [14:47] kyle6513: It's worked for me many times. For example, if I add a USB flash disk that has Ubuntu installed, startupmgr will add the entry for that. It also adds Windows XP entries. But, if the entries are in grub, and grub doesn't show them upon reboot, that's definitely a different problem. [14:47] Irakirashia: weird place to hang [14:48] divider, it worked well enough in jaunty, except for the internal mic which still doesn't anyway [14:48] kyle6513: I'd backup your grub.cfg file. [14:48] Younder: well, I have nothing against iptables. I just made a mess of it last time I used it. [14:48] (and now is *not* the time to make a mess of it) [14:48] jrib yeah... [14:48] Yoric, That is easy to do.. [14:48] I just ran chkrootkit and it says that I ahve one process hidden for the readdir command under lkm. Possible lkm trojan. Should I worry? [14:49] reboot time [14:49] Irakirashia: do you care about having OOo? [14:49] starhash, backup, delete, run startup-manager and see if its fixed? [14:49] Yoric: if you backup your current settings, you can do whatever. if they get messed, reinstate them [14:50] hello? its quite urgent [14:50] Irakirashia: what java implementation are you using? [14:50] aerora, tell your problem [14:50] aerora: lockdown your system. [14:50] ActionParsnip, I wish it was that simple, I really do [14:50] ActionParsnip: except I'm a bit far away from the computer. So reinstating might be a tad difficult.

But if you comment the line in that .postinst file, dpkg should be happy with the package and let you do other stuff as far as package management goes [14:51] Yoric: not if you have ssh ;) [14:51] !exploit | aerora [14:51] aerora: There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands.

[14:55] Ok, so I forget about doing the java thing? jrib [14:55] Irakirashia: for now [14:55] Irakirashia: ure seems to be the root cause [14:55] ActionParsnip: already searched on launchpad...

Anyone knows if there's an alternative to cdc-acm? [15:01] hey. when i was using windows, i was learning vb .net with visual studio and i was wondering if there is a different language that can be used in linux and i can use a gui like visual studio or is it all interpreter languages and stuff? [15:02] hi, can you tell me how to force xorg mode on livecd? it exceeds maximum resolution a lot. 1920x1080 @ 60Hz is max for my display. it tries 2048x1536 with hsync=93KHz. [15:02] can some one tell me what linux is [15:02] livio: what video card? [15:02] !linux | aaron [15:02] aaron: Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as a kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux [15:02] Hb_Kai: check out mono [15:02] monodevelop? [15:02] No jrib. As I said on the post I think I did manage to fix all the other ones by my own, but this one is driving me crazy [15:02] aaron11: linux is the kernel only, the stuff around it is a distribution === Jem is now known as Guest45352 [15:03] Hb_Kai: C#, Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, C++, C ... there are a lot of programming languages, but I don't know of any IDE as good as Visual Studio. [15:03] ActionParsnip: there is no config file related to lxde or lubuntu [15:03] Hb_Kai: Maybe monodevelop, never used it. (Mono is the Linux version of .NET) [15:03] or folder [15:03] grawity: okay, thanks for that [15:03] om26er: not even in ~/.config ? [15:03] Help, no sound device found but: 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) [15:03] Hb_Kai: I recommend eclipse or idea and java [15:04] the tools don't get any better than that on linux side, imho [15:04] and yeah, i saw monodevelop yesterday and tried it but it was a little weird compared to visual studio but i'll check it out now [15:04] aaron11 and ActionParsnip: but we call the whole thing "Linux" in one big coordinated effort to piss off Richard Stallman. [15:04] ActionParsnip: not even there [15:04] idea? [15:04] sol [15:04] solexious: how dare you [15:04] monodevelop is pretty crappy and I don't know if any of the C++ thingys like kdevelop can do anything. Most unix programming mentality is about one man and his text editor and autotools, and that's a miserable tool suite. [15:04] ActionParsnip: nV GF 7600 GS. currently not supported by nV with this devid. [15:05] Irakirashia: alright, see if changing the java implementation makes any difference. If not, I would just comment that line, purge all of OOo and try to reinstall from a clean slate. If it still fails, then I'd try to ask the OOo guys for more info about that command that is failing (providing the weird strace) [15:05] Hb_Kai: IDEA, specifically. A reasonably sophisticated java IDE. I don't use it or really like it myself, but old java hands seem to love it, and it just turned free-in-beer. [15:05] om26er: very strange, i'd --purge removel all the lxde stuff (and deps) as well as the lubuntu-desktop metapackge, then just install lxde [15:05] solexious: next time you say that ill call ops [15:05] HTML files have started to show icons meant for text files. On checking property the icon is as old one only: http://bayimg.com/KaEhPAacO . How to change it? IT however opens in Firefox. [15:05] ActionParsnip: ok [15:05] aaron11: uhm... he didn't say anything...? [15:05] cool, i'll check that out too. thanks for the suggestions [15:06] Irakirashia: remember, if you comment that line to make dpkg happy, you should remove your comment afterwards (since we don't understand what it does and you'll forget about the comment later and not know why things aren't working :)) [15:06] LjL: solifugus> aaron11 and ActionParsnip: but we call the whole thing "Linux" in one big coordinated effort to piss off Richard Stallman. [15:06] aaron11: right. that's solifugus though, not solexious [15:06] livio: ok, install the nvidia driver as normal, restart X using alt+k+print screen, then run: gksudo nvidia-settings and setup the display somehow and click write to X config file, you can now run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and manually edit the file to display how you wish, save the new file and restart X [15:07] aaron11: also, calling the ops for that would seem a bit... [15:07] LjL: XP [15:07] Ok jrib, haha, I'll remember (I hope): And update-java-alternatives, with what parameter should I execute it? with -a (auto) [15:07] :P [15:07] ActionParsnip: without xorg I can't do anything on livecd! I wanna force a xorg mode to start it. can you imagine connecting to wifi on command line? I can't. [15:07] best just uninstall all java implementations except the one you want... [15:08] Irakirashia: try switching to sun java and see if it persists, then switch back to whatever free implementation you are using and see if it persists I guess [15:08] and the only java you can possibly want is the sun java, none of the others really work and gcj is the worst of the worst, it seems. [15:09] livio: if nvidia-settings won't let you write, you can run: sudo nvidia-xconfig to generate one [15:09] livio: i can and do connect to wifi at command line [15:09] livio: i did to setup my gentoo box [15:09] livio: its not hard at all [15:10] ActionParsnip: jesus, I want to start livecd with normal xorg mode. I haven't installed ubuntu. can you understand this? I'm looking for a kernel option to force a mode or something. [15:10] jrib sun-java6 jre, bin or jdk? [15:10] Irakirashia: jre [15:11] livio: yes, the liveCD is identical to an installed system but its files are in ram instead of on the hdd, there is no boot option you can add unless you want to use the open driver [15:11] guys how do i control the startup services in ubuntu .. [15:11] livithe proprietary driver can be used as I said above and you will even have 3D accelleration [15:12] 8-) [15:12] !bum | PaulieWalnuts [15:12] PaulieWalnuts: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [15:13] livio: sudo nvidia-xconfig will make a skeleton xorg.conf file, the nvidia-settings can then populate it and you can fine tune with gedit [15:13] jrib I think I'm doign something wrong http://pastie.org/702609 [15:13] ActionParsnip: you still don't understand... this is what I ment: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Changing%20the%20CD's%20Default%20Boot%20Options [15:13] Irakirashia: that's fine, it's just because you don't have the java plugin [15:13] Was there some sort of bounce attack here a few hours ago? [15:14] extor: yes === cello180 is now known as cellofellow [15:14] livio: i know of boot options, it wont allow you to change the desktop res to something weird, you need the full driver [15:14] IdleOne, what's the story--who did it and how and why? [15:14] damn..I was asleep when it happened [15:14] ActionParsnip: but I'll rather try copying xorg.conf from my suse box and using fbdev/vesa, since nv only on suse 11.2 supports my geforce properly. [15:14] So, jrib after that what should I do? Try to reinstall it again? O the whole OOo? [15:14] Irakirashia: well just -binfilter should be enough, but sure [15:14] extor: who, doesn't matter. why, because they are probably idiots. issue has been taken care of. [15:14] livio: sure, xorg is xorg [15:15] ActionParsnip: and will try "xforcevesa". funny that "safe mode" doesn't change anything. supposed to be safe... [15:15] livio: ubuntu supports it properly too, the drivers are on the repositories [15:15] livio: i couldnt comment, ive never used it [15:16] jrib using aptitude it gets stuck on the same place [15:16] ActionParsnip: you don't understand... open nv driver doesn't support my geforce properly. only on suse because they've applied a patch locally, it seems. nowhere else I can use nv with my geforce. nvidia's closed blob is another part of interest. [15:16] http://pastebin.ca/1674942 <-- logs of the attack. Only ones I could gather [15:17] Irakirashia: k, check with the free one, then check for that ~/.ure and /root/.ure [15:18] anyone know why i cant auto login under root, i get Authentication failed. Letters must be typed in the correct case. [15:18] extor: That happened to me too overnight. I don't know what's going on. :\ [15:18] !exploits | extor [15:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about exploits [15:18] !exploit | extor [15:18] extor: There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit [15:19] Irakirashia: googleing "javaldx hangs" may give more suggestions [15:19] livio: then install the proprietary driver from the repos in the liveCD then configure [15:19] Can I just disable auto-dcc accept in xchat? [15:19] extor: whether you accept it or not is irrelevant to the exploit [15:20] I thought dcc had to be on either autoaccept or prompt for the exploit to work [15:20] extor: oh wait, that's not the exploit that ubottu talked about [15:20] hi, I created a shortcut to open a terminal with ctrl+f12 , but the terminal opens in root (/) and not in home (~). I'm using the same command as in the main menu (gnome-terminal) but I fail to understand why one launches somewhere and the other somewhere else for the same command. Can someone help me? [15:20] extor: It is in Preferences under Network/File Transfers. [15:20] ActionParsnip: WPA2 encrypted WLAN network without GUI is not human friendly. [15:21] extor: I have it on autoaccept so I could collect logs and report if possible. ;o [15:21] livio: then disable secuity until you get on your feet [15:21] Hi, is there some way to pass environment variables through an ssh connection?

[15:22] i have a problem, a very damaged hhd, when i try to install new fresh ubuntu, it gets to "60%" in installing, then complaining about some read-only error, saying its most likely a harddrive error (witch it is), i know parts of the harddrive is damaged, i also know big parts of the harddrive is just fine - how can i make ubuntu ignore the damaged parts? [15:22] livio: well if you want it then you'll have to, or use a wired connection [15:22] ubuntu_: do a diskcheck and mark the bad sectors with it [15:22] jrib irakirashia@mfsec:~/.ure$ ls >> javasettings_Linux_X86_64.xml [15:22] ahox: diskcheck where/how?

[15:24] leaving [15:24] each time i need to reboot the laptop fizically and many times it doesn't help - it gets stuck while rebooting :\ [15:25] Hans_Henrik: otherwise if you still have a windows installation, you can use their diskchecker program. Just make sure you check for bad sectors, too [15:25] ubuntulog: try enabling smart on the device, that may cause the device to remap bad sectors and that could make the drive appear perfect [15:25] can anyone tell me a good replacement for adobe flash ? its buggy [15:25] hi all i got a question. I changed some design stuff in my ubuntu yesterday. i didnt like it so i switched it back. but now my gdm looks like that style ... how do i set the gdm style back to the default?

[15:26] Ok, then use the fsck method, or as someone else wrote, try a deepformat within your bios [15:26] ActionParsnip: how do i do that? [15:26] also, what does smartctl -H /dev/sd... say? [15:27] After the most recent update, gnome-appearance-properties gives a malloc error every time I run it. [15:27] Rodensky: power off then start the boot, if you are using grub2 you will see the option, if not press ESC so the grub menu shows then select memtest [15:27] This is bad. [15:27] can someone help me reset my panels to default [15:27] ActionParsnip: the memtest +86 or something like that when i choose which os to boot?

That was part of its problem though: giving direct access to the hardware in order to speed up games :) [16:00] trex22: like I said if you just install it form disk is fine as long as you dont need something like I do and dont work cause its buggy have to patch it manually [16:00] hajex:http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ [16:00] trex22: I dont do desktop installs [16:00] it took me nearly 6 years before one of my linux installs finally "stuck"... i tried it probably annually for years until fedora core 5... then switched to ubuntu.. been using it exclusively since. i almost like it even more than OS X at this point. in some cases, definitely more.

[16:53] I'm using 9.10 karmic server [16:54] SiVA_, what do you want to accomplish by doing "modprobe xfs"? [16:55] klong: In nautilus (the File Manager), choose File: Connect to Server. It works pretty good, and it mounts the remote filesystem so all your apps can edit remote files, too. (You don't have to copy files over to work with them.)

[16:56] Hey please dont send me to wiki, I have been there for an hour, and trying things for a long time. Here is my question: I installed Ubuntu 9.10 and grub didn't load Windows 7 properly (or I may have installed grub in wrong place, anyways, when I boot I get options for everything, but when I select windows 7, it dumps me back to the grub choose list, when i choose ubuntu it works, any ideas or want more information about it ask, [16:56] but that is a good overview. [16:56] Greg^: want to share why? [16:56] diffra: No prob. [16:56] hrm... mkfs.xfs /dev/sdh seemed to work just fine.. I'm following a tutorial, and the first step before this was "modprobe xfs" [16:56] dustin: pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst [16:57] Well I have grub2, so there is no menu.lst ill pastebin my grub.cfg if you want [16:57] but now that goofy little update warning always says i have updates. and when try to install them it never installs [16:57] g2g bb gl [16:57] SiVA_, you have no desktop environment? Otherwise, I would suggest you to just use "gparted". [16:57] Hello everyone, I am in need of help trying to get Atheros Wireless AR928X working. I running Ubuntu 9.10 x64, I have tried using Wicd, compat-wireless, and current NDISWRAPPER and now I recieve the error ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready, in DMESG. I really need wireless to work, an yone have suggestions to fix this?? [16:57] vocx: no, just a console... it's a server [16:57] Yep, that'd work. [16:57] anyone ever set up a linux router out of an old pc? [16:57] Fretegi_1: yes [16:58] Fretegi_1, indeed. [16:58] Fretegi_1: ya server [16:58] several [16:58] maybe xfs is no longer a kernal module in 9.10 but part of the kernal? [16:58] My grub.cfg http://pastebin.com/m6b1c69a1 [16:58] iptables [16:58] diffra: AFAIK menu.lst isn't being used anymore, It's grub/grub.cfg [16:58] any performance advantage over just a plain jane retain router performance wise? [16:58] you have to enable ip forwarding. also if you have never used iptables i would suggest you mange it with something like webmin.. [16:59] lsusb [16:59] starhash, you're correct. I've been using 8.04 up until this week, wasn't aware we'd changed GRUBs [16:59] PenquinCoder_, i'm using the same wireless card with 32-bit ubuntu on a 64-bit processor with no trouble [16:59] * dustin thinks he could fix this grub problem on my own with grub1 [16:59] PenquinCoder_, worked right after install [16:59] Fretegi_1: well throughput is throuput...the advantages are more in monitoring, traffic shapping, firewalling. [16:59] SiVA_, you should probably note the date of the tutorial.It may be updated. Anyway, I don't think you would ever need to "modprobe" anything when you are just trying to create a filesystem. [16:59] obviously much better control, better firewall etc. ive set up iptables before and ubuntu server, just never as a router or home server [17:00] Are all here in China? [17:00] routing several differnt networks.. aliased nicks multiple hpysical nics ...all that sort of stuff [17:00] PenquinCoder: try reinstalling network-manager [17:00] vocx?

[17:00] ill try it starhash [17:00] 这是中国的？ [17:00] SiVA_, I believe a good interface from the terminal is "cfdisk". You can use that instead of creating the partition with mkfs.xfs [17:00] !cz [17:00] České uživatele žádáme, aby mluvili v kanále #ubuntu anglicky. Česky je možno se domluvit v #ubuntu-cz. Děkujeme.

I mean, if I run away from grub 2 all the time, I will have to continue doing that [17:02] dustin: Oops, I've been calling you dustbin. Anyway, Startup Manager (in Administration) updates grub.cfg right when you run the program. (There's no separate option for updating.) You can choose the default operating system, though. === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf [17:02] help? i get this error with today's update http://pastebin.com/dec72f75 [17:02] The problem is that it detects windows 7 loader on /dev/sdb1 but that is where grub is [17:03] dustin: Hmm [17:03] Windows 7 is sitting on /dev/sdb2 [17:03] but Windows 7 loads weird [17:03] dustin: When you say "it" what do you mean by "it" [17:03] grub [17:03] grub detects [17:04] omg! i need some help i just go ubuntu can anyone help me [17:04] By the way. I was using ext3 and grub1 in 9.04. After upgrading to 9.10 I feel the boot up process is significantly slower. Like the upstart and stuff they deployed now makes it slow. [17:04] NoraZoe, just ask [17:04] is it just me, or is getting adobe flash to work under UNR/firefox a pain in the ass [17:04] Why the HELL doesn't MSN work? I've tried everything... amsn, pidgin, empathy, emesene... NOTHING works [17:05] TheCheeze, that's odd for sure. is it repeatable? [17:05] dustin: did you manually add the entries? I think Windoze wants to believe it's the first device. There's a grub option for fooling it. I ran startup manager, and it automatically added all entries. And my Windows XP ran fine, even though its the second drive. [17:05] i did scan an army us ports and they sayme hunted!!!! :( [17:05] For DAYS now [17:05] diffra, am trying, but now the update manager is hung [17:05] i got to get going, if anyone has any suggestions please PM me [17:05] will attempt an xkill [17:05] Is this a stupid joke by linux kiddies?

[17:07] what is GPU? and it was working when i downloaded it then a few hours later it stopped working i dont understand [17:07] dustin: I'd say don't bother with those arcane commands.

[17:11] shled: Don't know how useful this is, but it's great having a router/firewall (netgear wgr614) to worry about the Ethernet/Internet connection. After that, Ubuntu just automatically connects. [17:11] vocx, yes? [17:11] Beltz, what kind of changes? [17:11] -------------------------------------------------------who here needs some help? [17:11] dual: yes [17:11] Interface changes, interface customizability perhaps... [17:11] Beltz: I moved from Hardy to Karmic and I think I'm OK. [17:11] 9.10 had a nice GUI update. [17:11] dual, yes. You do not need to install the whole desktop. If you just want to run some programs, you need only kdelibs or something like that. [17:11] Performance, better options for custom folders (ie. thumbnail display vs details display) [17:11] dual: if you don't want gnome, download kubuntu. :P [17:11] Beltz: It's better in small ways, not a radical interface shift. [17:12] divider: how does the helpie know what the helper can help with? [17:12] Just stuff to make it more efficient using my computer [17:12] Beltz: Ubuntu still uses gnome 2.x . but Kubuntu has the newer shinier kde4 [17:12] vocx, I want to switch to KDE for some time just to try, without reinstalling [17:12] Ive had only good experiences with vista unlike many... but it keeps changing my goddamn folder settings and its pissing me off [17:12] i'm noticing (i just upgraded from 8.04) that 9.10 boots faster and feels snappier and less bloated. [17:12] divider, I don't know if I want kde [17:12] starhash: got a router actually. worked like a charm before I upgraded to karmic. since then, I have the behaviour I described above. [17:12] IdleOne: by asking. :P [17:12] salve a tuttiii [17:12] IdleOne: I would just ask your question [17:12] dual: install kubuntu-desktop [17:12] install programs on ubuntu is very complicated [17:12] salve vorrei un informazione [17:12] IdleOne, :) [17:12] dual: I don't recommend KDE, I don't care for the interface, its too much like winblowz [17:13] is Kubuntu as stable as Ubuntu and therefore aesthetics are the only reason to pick one over the other (assuming a great computer) [17:13] starhash: I was/am using a /etc/network/interfaces + /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf configuration [17:13] if you're big on themes, check these out as well: http://www.bisigi-project.org/?page_id=6&lang=en [17:13] dual, yes, then you are good. You can use both gnome and kde. Or you can try KDE in a virtual machine. Either way you can try it. [17:13] shled: By the way, I have not manual configuration on my machine. Just totally the Ubuntu default.

I really want to make a l337 looking desktop - and i use that lame term only to indicate the intent clearer :) [17:13] shled: I wonder if your old settings are coming in the way of the new autoconfig. [17:13] dual: you can install any kde app in ubuntu using apt-get [17:13] divider, and tabbed windows [17:14] well, i'm using the 'infinity' theme on my dual monitor setup. dead sexy. [17:14] dual: what do you mean like a tabbed terminal? [17:14] Anyone able to please assist in getting Atheros AR928x working for 9.10 x64? Have tried many different setups, and cannot get to work now. [17:14] divider, yes [17:14] starhash: any suggestions how to possibly fix this? [17:14] dual: you can do that in gnome. [17:14] divider, how? [17:14] dual: right click open new tab. :P [17:14] I mean, can i tab gimp, xchat and pidgin in one window? [17:15] quale versione di ubuntu mi consigliate per u amd atlhon 1.00 gh 256 ram [17:15] ridd: Installing apps is much easier than in Windows. In the latest Ubuntu, just click on Applications: Ubuntu Software Center. Older versions, choose Add/Remove. [17:15] dual yes you can [17:15] dual: I'm not sure what you mean.

[17:15] ridd: How did you install them? (With Ubuntu Software Center?) [17:15] yup, [17:16] you need the CompizConfig settings manager, get it from the repos [17:16] Byte === ramiel is now known as Byte [17:16] i download programs from internet [17:16] angelus, I hate compiz [17:16] angelus, because I can't use it with devilspie, and KDE has both that and a Devilspie-like configuration tool [17:16] So I want to try it [17:16] dual: you can install kde-desktop try it out for a while decide what you prefer. then if you chose to keep just kde see !purekde if you chose to go back to just gnome see !puregnome [17:16] ridd: OK, so you downloaded a package file (with extension .deb)?

[17:17] What's the program you wanted to install? [17:17] but you only need the kubuntu desktop .... no need to re-install the whole thing [17:17] dual ^^ [17:17] Ok, is it possible to do this with Ubuntu, for the taskbar: http://img4.imageshack.us/i/shortcutcl.jpg/ [17:17] angelus, yes, I am installing it now [17:18] kool, [17:18] Hello , i would like to create a tar.gz archive of folder (that contains more folders and files) and i want the archive to be dived into 4.0gb parts how can i do this ?

[17:18] yep, i tried KDE ... just didnt like it :P .. [17:19] but it did support it [17:19] NoraZoe: you need to have direct rendering. [17:19] should i bay new hdd and play with ubuntu again ? [17:19] NoraZoe: glxinfo | grep direct [17:19] Is KDE 4.4 out for Ubuntu yet? [17:19] dual: #kubuntu [17:19] ShayMor432: I believe the latest Archive Manager in karmic supports split archives. [17:19] erUSUL, yea :) [17:19] ShayMor432: use tar | split [17:20] starhash: i see option of split when i press on the folder right click and compress but its disabled why ? [17:20] ok what was that suppose to do? [17:21] ridd: That's what I did (instead of putting Ubuntu on my Windows harddrive). But you already have an Ubuntu installation, right? [17:21] Beltz: mIRC looks horrible :P [17:21] ShayMor432: Hmm, don't know.

[17:22] devkid: the package that shows the bug [17:22] ubuntu_: Hi [17:22] devkid, what kind of bug ould that be? [17:22] ridd: What's the application? I'll search for it right know. === om26er1 is now known as om26er [17:23] thats upstart, but one of the developers or project managers told me to file it to ubuntu ^^" [17:23] starhash i cant find my boot loader [17:23] mp3 player for example [17:23] did u remb me [17:23] the bug is described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/null/+bug/484307 [17:23] hey guys, i have a really simple question. what happens when i run "rm /path/to/dir" on a directory without telling it to recurse (i.e., using "rm -rf /path/to/dir")? [17:24] jeff__: it fails if the directory isn't empty. [17:24] jeff__: it will tell you it's not empty [17:24] ubuntu_: Ah, yes. Btw, do you have anything else on the drive? A windows installation? [17:24] yes [17:24] jeff__: unless, of course, it is empty [17:24] jeff__: mkdir foo; touch foo/bar; rm foo [17:24] vista home premium [17:24] divider, LjL: i see, thanks!

I honestly think your GFX card isn't supported. [17:26] shahzad_: that would be a bad download of a fake movie. find a new torrent. [17:26] my prob is error 15 what i got [17:26] Mosx: What happens when you try? [17:26] bastidrazor: dear how could you say that [17:26] Mosx: what do you mean by nautilus, you mean non-terminal ownership control? [17:26] devkid, I don't see a problem with the bug report. It seems correct. === manu__ is now known as WFR [17:26] well it doesnt make since cuz all of it was working before, i did try to do that compiz fusion thing and it messed up right after that [17:26] shahzad_: am i wrong?

[17:27] NoraZoe: thats why. [17:27] ubuntu_ : But if it's your laptop, you should have the password for the bios, right? [17:27] i reported it to upstart bug the developer changed it to null [17:27] shahzad_: exactly. [17:27] devkid, check again [17:27] ok so how do i get rid of that to go back to normal [17:27] yes [17:27] bastidrazor: so on that link i found also movie x player but it is of 2 dollor [17:27] NoraZoe: use the synaptic package manager. [17:28] where do i find that [17:28] shahzad_: it is a scam, find a new torrent. [17:28] so what else [17:28] ubuntu_: OK, so just go into the BIOS setup, and change your boot options to boot from the CD first, then the harddrive. Then boot from the Live CD. [17:28] shahzad: sounds like you downloaded a pirated movie that is fake. Like the new moon rip. [17:28] plz tell me some way to play it, [17:28] Hi I have MAJOR issues after a 9.10 upgrade, it just will NOT boot. Can someone help me please? [17:28] shahzad_: it's a pirated movie isn't it? [17:28] ahh ok i found it now what do i do? [17:29] NoraZoe: remove whatever packages you installed before it messed up. synaptic is in System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager [17:29] NoraZoe: in the search type compiz [17:29] then [17:29] NoraZoe: and then remove compiz [17:29] General tip to everyone: Please don't run installs without a UPS. In fact, don't run anything without a UPS. Seems like a lot of people are having trouble with failed/botched installs. [17:29] ffs i just want to delete a file - how can i become the owner ? is chown the only option ? [17:30] starhash: UPS? [17:30] chgroup [17:30] what next [17:30] or sudo nautilus [17:30] jeff__ : UPS = uninterruptible power supply. It's basically a battery for your computer. Every computer store carries them. [17:30] divider: Why are you telling people to remove compiz? [17:30] ubuntu_ : Just a sec [17:30] Mosx: just run sudo nautilus [17:31] divider: All you have to do is disable it in gnome-appearance-properties [17:31] hi... i just installed karmic on a dual boot and am getting a grub rescue console with an unknown hard drive error [17:31] starhash: ah, i should have known that. [17:31] #cRUDE can i configure the system to always do that ? [17:31] 'lo 'lo [17:32] can someone please help me... my system is basically a brick now [17:32] !gksudo cRUDE Mosx [17:32] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:32] jeff__ : Laptops, of course, already have a battery. But a UPS is also good for smoothing out line disturbances. Some have warranties to where if your computer is fried by a line spike, they'll pay for a new computer. [17:32] please has no one any ideas on my upgrade problems with 9.04 -> 9.10 can't even get to a desktop :( [17:32] !gksudo | cRUDE Mosx [17:32] cRUDE Mosx: 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) [17:32] anoneemouse: Please follow the ubuntu_ thread. It might help. [17:32] hi i have a quick question, basically my headphone jack does cut the audio to my speakers any body know how to fix this?? [17:32] ok now what????? i just took it off [17:32] starhash: how much would a decent one cost? anything to look out for specifically if i were buying one? [17:32] ubottu: Thanks for the link. [17:32] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:32] should i restart? [17:33] devkid, your bug is filled in the package "usplash (Ubuntu)". Which means it is filled correctly in the package usplash within the distribution Ubuntu. The developer probably got confused. You are filling the bug in the Ubuntu bug tracker and not in the upstream one. [17:33] where is that starhash? [17:33] I'm a debian user that is debugging a Wubi ubuntu installation for his boss. He ran the updates for Karmic, and the next time he booted, the system complained about not being able to find the root fs. I've downloaded grml and booted off that, and found the ubuntu directory in the windows filesystem. How do I go about fixing grub? [17:33] Mosx: u must mean your / directory [17:33] anoneemouse: I'm going to respond to user ubuntu_ in a few minutes. That's what I'm talking about. [17:33] devkid, notice how the bug now has status "confirmed" [17:33] oh ok... thanks [17:33] or rather.. how is grub on wubi different from a normal grub install? [17:34] the files are in /var/www [17:34] gksudo didn't work [17:35] Mosx: ah yes, you have to do that [17:35] when nautilus popped up it wouldn't open Computer [17:35] so i ended up doing a chown [17:35] jeff__ I hardly ever run above 150 watts power. If you get a 300 watt (note: VA or Volt-Amps are different from watts) UPS, you should be good. Note: If you don't live in a power cut prone area, you don't need a huge UPS, just one that will give you a few minutes to shut your computer down. [17:35] Anyone - please help! [17:35] !list [17:35] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [17:36] jeff__ : http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=72 [17:36] !please | danger_ [17:36] danger_: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [17:36] sure Nautilus should be able to change the owner given sudo password [17:36] surely ? [17:36] Mosx: /var is in filesystem [17:36] starhash-u gona tell me somthing [17:36] vocx, oh thanks it seems that launchpad has a delay or such, i didn't see the previous posts/changes before i posted my last message, thx [17:37] ok so i did that and i restarted now when i click appearances and go to visual effects it say compiz not installed [17:37] My xorg.conf is blank. I've tried running dpkg-reconfigure and dexconf to recreate it, and it is still 0 size. [17:37] vlc shuts down for some reason: http://pastebin.com/d788ff414 [17:37] and it wont let me click normal or extra [17:37] Oh, my question, how do I force Ubunto 9.10 to create one? [17:37] reeher: if you are running karmic, that is supposed to happen [17:37] NoraZoe: Whoever told you to remove compiz was an idiot [17:37] starhash: thanks. i just finished up building my desktop, so i'll definitely look into it (albeit a bit leisurely, as i live on a university campus right now and we have backup generators on campus) [17:37] as far as i know [17:37] haha [17:37] devkid, yes that's what I meant by check again. Id est, refresh your browser. [17:37] ubuntu_: (also anoneemouse read along) After you boot the live cd, you can fix your installation. If you don't know how to, just ask. If you think the installation was interrupted, you probably need to do it again. You can't just fix your bootloader since half your system files probably aren't in place. [17:38] reeher, Are you using a Nvidia driver? [17:38] reeher: Xserver -configure iirc [17:38] NoraZoe: Install compiz and if you have trouble getting it working, come to #compiz and I will help you [17:38] NoraZoe: your graphics card may not be supported [17:38] soreau: his issue was compiz. [17:38] vocx, sorry, i didn't understand it correctly, my englisch isn't the best ^^ [17:38] divider: That's why I'm offering to help him with it === entrope_ is now known as ent [17:39] starhash: my installation completed, then i got an error(no such partition). then i went through the guide outlined in #grub. everything ran without errors. I then get the no such hard drive error. Im installing from a flash drive [17:39] lol im not a he but thats not important [17:39] divider: There is never a reason to remove compiz packages [17:39] the grub install even sees my partitions and all my installed operating systems. linux and windows xp [17:39] ok i will try to install it again [17:39] help with this error ppp0: error fetching interface information: Device not found [17:39] starhash - that this gona fix it [17:40] does opera for ubuntu require any plugin to watch flv on line?

Ask the developer if the bug is correctly filed now, and then provide the information he may need. Just clarify things, since that bug has already a lot of traffic, mostly useless. [17:41] diffra: trying [17:41] jetienne, thanks [17:41] starhash: what im wondering is since my installation completed there should be a way to just mount my installation and fix my grub configuration files [17:41] where should I file a bug that is an issue with ubuntu's default config for a package that doesn't track bugs on launchpad and points directly upstream? [17:41] vocx, ok, thx :) [17:41] its a distribution config issue [17:41] help with this error ppp0: error fetching interface information: Device not found === ard1an is now known as ard1an[AFK] [17:41] ericrost, maybe ask #ubuntu-bugs ?

[17:43] anoneemouse: Also the startupmanager program has been really great for fixing such problems. (I don't know if it'll reinstall grub, but it'll rewrite your grub.cfg, the list of OS's to boot). sudo apt-get install startupmanager. Run it and it'll update the list. Make a copy of /boot/grub/grub.cfg first. [17:43] and it also doesn't matter if it is an xvid encoded movie or a dvd [17:43] U-b-u-n-t-u: install 32bit version of ubuntu would be my suggestion. if not possible, google "linux flash 64", it is in the adobe research lab [17:43] advocate: i need more info. what gives that error ? in which context?

(Settings: Repositories) [17:46] divider: the "movie player" in ubuntu turns out to be totem [17:47] but all of them have the same problem [17:47] i recently installed ubunto on 2 systems,one has the add/remove the other doesnt [17:47] I didn't have this problem before upgrading to karmic [17:47] SmokeyD: sudo apt-get install vlc [17:47] deacon_: Add/remove what? [17:47] add/remove from the apps tab [17:47] divider: vlc is the only program that works? [17:47] i unable to run any video on my firefox [17:48] I can't use any other program? [17:48] <[-jon-]_> hi why the hell did ubuntu overwrite the mbr on my windows install [17:48] deacon_: Add/Remove is known as Ubuntu Software Center in Karmic, but you probably already knew that. [17:48] nope [17:48] [-jon-]_, why wouldn't you want it to? You can still boot to windows from GRUB [17:48] al guem pode me dizer o que é isto [17:48] [-jon-]_: it needs a bootloader to boot [17:48] if it didn't you wouldn't be able to boot into ubuntu [-jon-]_ [17:48] U-b-u-n-t-u: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_1_p1_linux_111709.tar.gz [17:48] <[-jon-]_> moparisthebest: grub wont boot without having ALL disks pressent [17:49] I don't want to install vlc, I want to use the default ubuntu programs [17:49] <[-jon-]_> moparisthebest: hi i have multiple hard drives [17:49] <[-jon-]_> leave the windows one alone [17:49] divider, ok trying it [17:49] [-jon-]_: grub supports booting windows but windows bootloader can not boot linux [17:49] SmokeyD: vlc is the best video player on the market, it plays anything without fail. [17:49] [-jon-]_, I have multiple hard drives too, the only one grub needs present to boot is the one it is on [17:49] [-jon-]_: Sorry. On the last page of the Ubuntu installation, there's an advanced button which will allow you to specify boot loader options. [17:49] tem algum brasileiro aqui???????? [17:49] <[-jon-]_> moparisthebest: I cant boot windows w/o my ubuntu disk present.... [17:49] !br | luciano [17:49] buna [17:49] divider: thanks for your help, but it is not the answer I am looking for. I am having a problem with totem/kaffeine/etc [17:49] SmokeyD: you can also you it as a streaming media server for your network, and use it as webcam testing program. :P [17:49] <[-jon-]_> starhash: thats retarded. they should be seperate installs. leave the other disk alone [17:50] SmokeyD: did you install the GStreamer Codecs? [17:50] [-jon-]_, how do you propose to switch between OSes on boot, then? [17:50] [-jon-]_, don't know why it installed the bootloader on another disk, that would be strange indeed [17:50] Hi, I have a question regarding opensync. The current Ubuntu package "opensync-plugin-synce" seems not cooperating with bash command "msynctool"...anybody has a hint where I find a version of opensync-plugin-synce that works? [17:50] <[-jon-]_> diffra: boot to a different drive? [17:50] [-jon-]_: And where are you going to choose which drive to boot in the first place+ [17:50] <[-jon-]_> the bios.....? [17:50] <[-jon-]_> MAN thats hard [17:50] [-jon-]_: You can put a boot loader on a USB flash or a floppy to allow you to boot Linux. If you take the flash disk out, you're left with your normal Windows boot. [17:50] SmokeyD: you can also try installing all Gstreamers plug-ins, but it will never be as good as VLC [17:50] [-jon-]_, Fair enough. Generally not the way most people would do it, but fair enough. You can select how to install grub if you use the alternate ubuntu install CD.

[18:06] Chousuke: so wine is keeping people back. what about vm 64bit windows, on 64 bit ubuntu os. should work? [18:06] oy. from GUI, try sudo apt-get -f install to finish up what it was doing when apt crashed? === brentw is now known as Badweather [18:06] files in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled under nautilus are just links to files right? how do i delete them ? [18:06] Chousuke: does 2-3 gb ram work fine with 64 bit arch? [18:06] knoppix, this is ubuntu, not knoppix, ja? [18:07] allowoverride: sure. it'll work fine with 32-bit too [18:07] diffra i can't run anything [18:07] Chousuke: why would x64 be better? just curious. [18:07] allowoverride: and virtualbox can run 32-bit guests on 64-bit hosts, so no problem there. [18:07] diffra: Done! Good call--bitten by the fact that "sudo rm -fR *" doesn't catch dotfiles and dirs--even though I removed .Trash-1000, .Trash-0 was still around. Any nice way to catch dotfiles with rm? [18:07] knoppix, bist Du der Klaus? [18:07] diffra: Thanks a bunch! [18:07] i am considering this: vm on 64 bit, surf the net, ubuntu os, mozilla products for mail and browse [18:07] plugin support all around for 64 bit [18:07] allowoverride: are there any proprietary programs you might need? [18:08] anyone know where I ought to put the flash.so? [18:08] allowoverride: flash has 64-bit support now but I'm not sure about skype.

[18:08] aresnick, rm .* will work... with much caution of course [18:08] so to rephrase the basics most people use [18:08] TheCheeze, in the terminal it drops to? [18:09] diffra: Right--but it won't catch everything that's not a dotfile--I guess I was just wondering if there was a flag, but I can check out the manpages or use a regex. Thanks! [18:09] im considering buying a new laptop to surf the net with [18:09] ha1331: I don't know much about x86_64 but it has more CPU registers for one. [18:09] and i have waited all these years for 64bit dev's to but up to speed [18:09] are they? [18:10] allowoverride: Skype works on x64, just in case you didn't notice when I said it. Didn't point out I was telling it to you. [18:10] as for specific programs, i think i will need it to be able to do those things 32 bit does. [18:10] my nautilus crashes on mounting particular drives and opening folders! is it because of thumbnails? but it works great when i open it as root [18:10] ha1331: got it thanks [18:10] hi [18:10] allowoverride: mostly, yes. [18:10] yah, if you put my name in front a pop up shows ;) [18:10] does anyone know how to install farsight2? I want it to be able to use the voice chat and the video call of amsn. [18:10] Chousuke: ok, didn't know that. [18:10] allowoverride: proprietary programs are the ~only block you might have. all open source stuff is pretty much 64-bit ready. [18:11] Chousuke: so what to you is the single/duo most important 64 bit does that you are impressed with and like ) [18:11] Chousuke: got it [18:11] allowoverride: but in a pinch you can always install a 32-bit environment and run 32-bit apps on your 64-bit OS [18:11] yah, not worried about proprietary stuff, unless pdf viewing is [18:11] moparisthebest: so does the 64 bit os run 2x as fast as 32 bit? [18:11] absolutely not :P [18:11] diffra- hold on, i need to bring it to my router for a hardwire [18:11] but servers are faster, apache, lighttpd, mysql etc [18:11] allowoverride: there are many open source PDF viewers :) [18:12] and as the compiler continues to improve so do speeds [18:12] moparisthebest: so 64 bit you would say was build for servers? [18:12] allowoverride: ubuntu even has one or two by default. [18:12] but I can't notice a difference in speed in the actual GUI either between 32 or 64 bit [18:12] allowoverride: nah. servers are just the machines that usually have a lot of RAM [18:12] hi everyone [18:12] you aren't going to notice a speed difference, unless you run a server that is [18:12] Chousuke: im opensourse. but you mentioned wine, and some users like wine to play games and such. do things nix can't ... yet... [18:12] moparisthebest: thanks, thats good input [18:13] allowoverride: 32-bit processors get crappy with more than 3GB [18:13] I always use 64-bit for my servers, because I need the extra ram and it is faster for servers [18:13] but nothing wrong with 64-bit as your OS either [18:13] ebay has a nice 64 bit xps dell is why im asking all this today [18:13] allowoverride: 64bit is built more for making money than for "normal" users. My opinnion tho. [18:13] allowoverride: well, I think you should be able to run 32-bit wine if you need it. :) [18:13] moparisthebest: point taken [18:13] ha1331: got it [18:13] allowoverride: but setting up the environment is of course extra work, compared to just running a 32-bit OS [18:14] Chousuke: that would be for testing purposes. i have rid my env of doze pc/servers about a year now [18:14] diffra- it says subprocess /usr/bin/dpkg returned with an error code (2) [18:14] << buntu lappy [18:14] anyone know where hidden wine files are kept?

[18:14] sorry i cant exactly pastebin it while on a different machine :( [18:14] i deleted .wine and removed wine but when i reinstalled it the same apps still show in the menu [18:14] so next issue. why is gufw not allowing smb and irc to flourish [18:14] allowoverride: I mean setting up an environment to run 32-bit apps on your 64-bit ubuntu. It is possible, just a bit of extra work :) [18:14] i ordered the ports open... what am i missing [18:14] update-rc.d not found on PATH [18:14] Chousuke: got it. thanks [18:15] Chousuke: got links? howto [18:15] just for kicks [18:15] allowoverride: I'm willing to bet that if you would install 32bit, you wouldn't regret it. There wouldn't be moment when you would be missing the "extra 32bits". By that I mean that there hardly is anything _you_ couldn't do with 32bit that you could do with 64bit. [18:15] hmmm [18:16] jij ook hier ? [18:16] diffra i wqill be right back. if you can come up with anything please pm iot so i don't miss it. i am very lost and would hate having to reinstall everything :( [18:16] ha1331: you mean 32 bit env on 64 arch. correct?

[18:26] linux is the kernel, the rest is GNU [18:26] my understanding [18:26] Adobe flash is propriatory software [18:26] djustice a few videos are being displayed but more of them are not, like on youtube [18:26] aksci: you have permissions fail in your ~. a new user takes no time at all rly... but 'sudo rm ~/.*' will erase your users settings to default.

[18:30] xikteny, i have tried to create a new folder and a new document, and that works, i have also tried sudo cp -R --no-preserve=all old_folder new_folder and it remains the same [18:30] djustice again no file found (but i did get something like screen this time though, did not know what it was) :/ [18:30] an0nmatlr: i have installed but result same [18:30] ctuininga, making a broad statement like that doesn't help, be more specific [18:30] djustice, because I saw that as a potential solution to the issues I'm having (posted in the forums) [18:30] Skate[9], Yeah, that sounds pretty weird. [18:30] How do I read the man pages at manpages.ubuntu.com? I can find the compressed pages (like cat.1.gz) but when I open them I just get the unformatted nroff markup. How do I see the formatted man pages?

[18:36] @diffra fsck also sais that drive is "clean" [18:36] livingdaylight_: that should work (the "full" version), then you should be able to manipulate 7zip archives using the normal archive manager (file-roller) [18:36] Question question.

[18:38] shahzad_ Does it load at all, or does it only show a link asking you to download Flash Player ? [18:38] dajhorn: how difficult is it to downgrade to grub legacy? [18:38] Strogg: You'll probably need to go through the motions of doing a wubi repair. [18:38] Strogg: No harder than any other boot loader reinstallation. [18:38] dajhorn: Ok.. I'll look for info on that. thanks [18:38] is there any software for optimizing website tools for search engines rankings. [18:38] Byte: when i click on a video link on youtube, just a black screen is comes out on the area of video [18:39] Shahzad Try getting new flash-player addon for Firefox.

[18:41] Ok guys, I have a small problem, the ofed package falsely depends on the mpitests package, which depends on openmpi1 [18:41] I'm trying to install ofed without installing openmpi1, since I've compliled my own openmpi [18:41] knoxville_, like switching from GTK2 to metacity and not having metacity installed, duh [18:42] Any suggestions how to install a package without installing it's dependencies? [18:42] i.e. I'd like to just install mpitests [18:42] NaN, look into pachage 'equivs' [18:42] NaN: doesn't the fact it has dependencies mean those are required to run it? [18:42] U-b-u-n-t-u: put the libflashplayer.so file in that dir, make sure other flash is uninstalled properly, and it should work after restarting firefox. [18:42] LjL: it's a mistake [18:42] ofed doesn't really need mpi === Caplain_ is now known as Caplain [18:43] mpi needs ofed [18:43] arand, how do I uninstall the others? [18:43] NaN try man apt-get and look at the various flags like force etc. [18:43] Shahzad_ http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ - On the lower half of the page there is a rolldown menu, push it and choose .deb for Ubuntu 8.04+ [18:43] NaN: equivs should do the trick [18:43] NaN, yes, equivs is what you need. [18:44] U-b-u-n-t-u: start synaptic, search for " flash ", make sure none of the results are installed [18:44] ok [18:44] ok [18:44] does anyone else find that on bootup you hear the drumroll before actually arriving at your login page? [18:44] or dpkg-query -l | grep flash [18:44] NaN, remember something like --no-depends but my recall mode sucks [18:44] Colonel_Panik: that's for rpm [18:44] I am encoutering a problem like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1304727 but modyfing the splash line doesn't help, any ideas what to do? [18:45] NaN see, I told you my recall sucks you were warned ha [18:45] :) [18:45] Thanks guys, equivs looks right [18:45] Sorry guys, noob question, I'm sure it's an easy fix: terminal's not liking my password for sudo, and I cant get my flash drive to mount. all i want to do is mount an iso thats on my flash drive :'( been a few years since i messed with tux so I'm kinda rusty [18:46] odder7: Remove both the 'splash' and 'quiet' lines from the kernel boot line when you do that test.

It involves booting a live cd and removing the password in /etc/password or shadow or something [18:52] hello [18:52] odder7: If you start the regular kernel line without 'splash' or 'quiet', then you could get a hint whether you've got a kernel problem or an X11 problem.

[19:16] @odder i now tryed somethings it seems its an error while mounting and after that many processes time out im currently reinstalling [19:17] erUSUL: when the white ubuntu logo vanishes and I press ctrl+d, nothing happens [19:17] hello [19:17] does anyone found a idea for mounting ext4 in windows seven? [19:18] erUSUL: but I have noticed a weird thing with my Grub -- the menu shows up by default and before the problem it used to pick the default kernel by itself [19:18] Huldabir: may or may not be doable.

Some people should be shot. [19:20] Halitech: I haven't changed anything and it worked before freezing my sys [19:20] odder7, just because it worked before doesn't mean something didn't happen when you hibernated your system [19:21] hi [19:21] hi [19:21] Hello is there a way to get in to the /master boot record on xubuntu 9.10, because it's not working? [19:21] odder7: maybe you can try a few bootoptions « noresume » for instance (you said it happened after a suspend) [19:21] i dont know how comes we can't use webcam microphone in === Richie is now known as WelshDragon [19:21] 9.10 [19:21] ironfoot495: what do you plan on doing with it once you get 'into' it ? [19:21] !fixgrub | ironfoot495 [19:21] ironfoot495: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards.

[19:22] Halitech: boot options are fine and so on [19:22] everything is working , the webcam too, dkupd,spdp [19:22] hi, on 9.04 I encrypted a file and it was saved as a .pgp extension. now i'm on 9.10 and when i try to decrypt my file, no program is associated with it. how can I decrypt the file? [19:22] thanks! [19:22] !pgp [19:22] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [19:23] Dr_Willis: i have already looked at that. i have seahorse but i am not sure how to decrypt the file (all it seems to do is manage keys) [19:23] odder7, do you have the option to redetect drives to make sure they are actually being seen? [19:23] syntac: thats about all i know on the topic. [19:23] How do I enable/disable services (i.e. Apache, OpenSSH, etc.) in Karmic? There used to be a way to do it graphically, pre Karmic... [19:23] ok, so I'm having a bit of trouble with a Karmic system. Every time the display shuts off for power saving, the network adapter loses it's IP address, but comes back alive with the display [19:23] !boot | bthornton [19:23] <^c|0ud^> Do I have to reinstall ubuntu if I want to add additional free space for my /dev/sda5 I deleted a ntfs partition my hard drive? [19:23] bthornton: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [19:24] Dr_Willis: it says it integrates with nautilus, any idea why the .pgp extension isn't registered? [19:24] bthornton: many services are converted to using Upstart now. edit/move/remove the /etc/init/* scripts for those services [19:24] I downloaded the firefox zip file and unziped it and now I have the firefox folder on my desktop....... there is no read me file on how to install... does anyone know how? [19:24] Is there any irc client out there, I can make transparent [19:24] bthornton: some are still using the sysv init system. those you can use bum, or the rc update tools [19:24] is this something that is a power saving feature, or is there some other reason that the network stack would seem to shut off with the monitor power feature? [19:24] knoxville_: yes. xchat can do that. or use one in a terminal and make the terminal transparent. : ) [19:24] knoxville_: xchat or use a console client and make your terminal transparent. or use compiz [19:25] wow... [19:25] knoxville_: with compiz you can make anything trasluent but i dont use that feature [19:25] ot: what means "unassailable" ? [19:25] Dr_Willis Where do i make it transparent? I got xchat [19:25] knoxville_: i use irssi on a transparent gnome-terminal (thanks to compiz) ;D [19:25] so, in terms of being able to control my services graphically, that is no longer possile? [19:26] knoxville_: check its menus. its a setting somewhere.. or use the compiz features for true 'transparency' [19:26] bthornton: its a work in progress i hear. [19:26] bthornton: for sysv services the old tools work.. for upstart based ones.. not seen a gui yet. [19:26] is this normal memory usage?! http://imagebin.org/72017 - http://imagebin.org/72018 [19:26] bthornton: the upstart ones are just single *.conf files in /etc/init [19:26] (kinda like how I have to install another program to get playback through line-in now) [19:27] bthornton, Does seem like a regression, doesn't it... [19:27] yeah, I knew there was a changeover to Upstart; I'm just surprised Karmic was released with these thing smissing [19:27] hm... the noresume option didn't work [19:27] Upstart is a work in progress.. and 9.10 is making a big push to get most all services to use upstart. i imagine by the next release ALL the services will be using upstart [19:27] sensors command is not showing fan rpm's, voltages [19:27] what can I do? [19:28] xikteny: yep, it is. [19:28] pepee, have you run sudo sensors-detect [19:28] ageeb: short answer: " yes it's normal; its used for file cache. Free ram == wasted ram » [19:28] would Upstart control the disabling of my network adapter when the display is put to sleep? [19:28] diffra, yes, of couse [19:28] *course [19:28] diffra, it was working on jaunty [19:28] from what i read of the upstart specs. they still havent decided on the proper way to set up disabling the things :) other then moving the script out of /etc/init [19:28] Hello. [19:28] i think is because sensors3 [19:28] :) [19:28] Dr_Willis: You wouldn't happen to know if there's any real effort in getting these services controlled by a graphical front-end, would you? I know there are plenty of people happy changing this stuff in config files, but I'm not one of them. :p [19:29] or maybe the options I put in grub.. [19:29] bthornton theres not mych TO change.. move the file out of /etc/init and its disabled.. [19:29] and by "real effort", I mean an actual project that has a name and source repository [19:29] erUSUL:: ty... will it swap it out for foreground apps as necessary or turn to swap partition next? [19:29] DR_willis hi uhh ! Iwant to use the info that was just given to me but right now I can't get the system to even boot. Can you help me recover the system ? [19:29] ah [19:29] bthornton: ive not noticed or heard of any gui. i imagine its being worked on. [19:29] ironfoot495: proberly not - its my bed time. I will be going to ZZZzzz in about 5 min. [19:29] Grr.. hate when work gets in the way of life.. anyway.. understanding that 9.10 does not write an xorg.conf, I need to have one because my monitor does not pass the EDID information to the OS, so xorg defaults to 800x600 w/ no way to set it manually.. So, is there a way to create an xorg.conf short of building it manually? [19:30] reeher: what video card? [19:30] ageeb: no when needed linux will just drop disk cache [19:30] is there anyone who could help me do this? [19:30] I know that this is probably futile, but, does anyone know of any programs which can be used to design interactive web movies like Flash yet? [19:30] Dr_Willis: intel 82G33 [19:30] ageeb: if that's not enough (rare with 4 GiB) then yes it would have to swap [19:30] all I need is to get in then I can do the rest I guess!!! [19:30] Dr_Willis: I can't find that setting [19:31] reeher: Hmm.. I dont have my intel box set up to get its xorg.conf for you. there may be some examples of them on the intel video forums/threads [19:31] anyone having troubles with ubuntu karmic and wiimote connectivity? [19:31] Dr_Willis: Kk, cool enough.. I'll look about. [19:31] knoxville_: assume people on irc have a 3 min attention span.. What setting? [19:31] erUSUL:: k, thanks again. [19:31] reeher: or cheat and use a older live cd. :) [19:31] Dr_Willis: Making xchat transparent [19:31] reeher: and copy its xorg.conf [19:32] register schiller6 [19:32] Dr_Willis: thanks for the (sobering) info. :) [19:32] I downloaded the firefox zip file and unziped it and now I have the firefox folder on my desktop....... there is no read me file on how to install... does anyone know how? [19:32] Dr_Willis: now *that's* a good idea! [19:32] knoxville_: check the xchat homepage/docs I dont use that program any more and its not installed here for me to check [19:32] !beer Dr_Willis [19:32] make [19:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about beer Dr_Willis [19:32] U-b-u-n-t-u: what are you trying to do ? [19:32] reeher: I had to use my old nvidia xorg.conf for 9.10 - then nvidia tools dont like the minimal xorg.conf either [19:32] knoxville_, you can make xchat transparent [19:33] knoxville_: also be sure you are using xchat.. NOT xchat-gnome [19:33] knoxville_: i imagone xchat-gnome has that and 1000000+ other features removed [19:33] does anyone know about the network adapter shutting down when the display is put to sleep? has anyone seen or heard about a similar issue on 9.10? [19:33] erUSUL, I downloaded the firefox zip from firefox and unziped it and now want to install it but there isnt a read me file on how [19:33] knoxville_, using xchat gnome or just xchat? [19:33] knoxville_: OR just use the compiz feature to make any window a selectable 'true' transparancy (the best way) [19:33] U-b-u-n-t-u: firefox comes istalled by default in ubuntu. no need to install by hand === chaky_ is now known as chaky [19:34] please [19:34] U-b-u-n-t-u, open a terminal and type "firefox" [19:34] everybody has this problem with skype webcam microphone ? [19:34] i uninstalled it because I had issues with some of the plugins and now want to reinstall [19:34] knoxville_, xchat is settings > preferences > text box there are three sliders [19:34] aske, ok [19:34] Dr_Willis: Where do I see if I'm using xchat or xchat-gnome? [19:34] U-b-u-n-t-u: use the ubuntu tolls to reinstall [19:34] !software | U-b-u-n-t-u [19:34] U-b-u-n-t-u: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [19:34] knoxville_: look in the help/about menu peraps? [19:35] knoxville_, help > about [19:35] U-b-u-n-t-u: why not u install firefox from synaptic manager? i think it easy [19:35] everything is working perfectly except we can't set the microphone but the webcam and everything else is working [19:35] i'm on a laptop [19:35] U-b-u-n-t-u: sudo aptitude reinstall firefox [19:35] skrite: It just adds color.. [19:35] hello [19:35] compiz has the ccsm toom settong for "Opacity" - you can use to select how trasluent a given window can be. [19:35] Dr_willis: I'm using xchat, not xchat-gnome [19:35] and it makes the second laptop that has this problels [19:35] knoxville_, no. slide them (all three) all the way over [19:35] knoxville_: xchat uses fake transparency also i recall. you will just see your wallpaper. not stuff under the window. [19:36] PLEASE [19:36] skrite: to the left or to the right? [19:36] hi [19:36] U-b-u-n-t-u, worked? [19:36] I have a executable that I can run if i cd to its location but if I specify its path I get "No such file or directory" ..any ideas what am I doing wrong [19:36] all three all the way to right (255) [19:36] how do i stop the display from dimming if i dont type for 10 seconds? jaunty didnt do this. [19:37] harag: spelling mistane? whats the full path to it/command you are using? [19:37] kermit: theres a dim on idle setting I belive in the power saver settings [19:37] skrite: yeah, it shows my wallpaper then.. guess I have to open it through terminal.. [19:37] I use tab completion to fill in the path so no spelling mistake [19:37] Dr_Willis: thats off though [19:37] harag: spaces in the name? [19:38] /home/phil/lisp/clbuild/target/bin/sbcl [19:38] kermit: i recall there being screen saver settings, then power saveing settings i had to twiddle with. other then that. no idea [19:38] after Upgrade to 9.10 I can't switch user anymore - it seems keyboard and mouse are grabbed but unavailable for the login screen (so can't enter anything, move the mouse or switch to other screen) - how can I resolve that? [19:38] Dr_Willis: nope [19:38] I've changed the groups membership on a current logged-in user. Is it possible for this user to refresh his privileges without logging-out/logging back in? [19:38] bthornton: not very easially. [19:38] cripes [19:38] TinoW: many people got issues after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10, clean installing 9.10 should solve your issue, but there is probably also another way, but I don't know about that [19:38] okay, gotta roll then. thanks again. [19:39] bthornton: and any way i know to sort of do it.. can cause even more issues.. You can 'xterm -ls' or 'ssh localhost' or 'login' to relogin to the user in a termianl and for that termianl the new groups should apply [19:39] bthornton: you could get around this by starting as login shell if you want to use this group membership only for a few programs [19:39] never mind.. :) [19:39] lol [19:39] sebsebseb: ugh [19:39] TinoW: yep. and that can get.. confuseing heh [19:39] TinoW: oh maybe it's GDM 2 that has gone all wrong on you [19:40] TinoW: ,but if you install KDM and tell it to use that, things wil be ok maybe [19:41] sebsebseb: I already extended /etc/dbus-1/system.d/xorg-server.conf since I saw an entry at the end of the Xorg.*.log and some googling pointed to this but its not resolving just that error does not appear in the log anymore === psychotic is now known as vtech [19:41] TinoW: oh it's switching users, not log in? [19:41] so is my network problem being ignored, or does nobody have an answer? [19:41] sebsebseb: yes, switching users [19:41] TinoW: switching users, when already logged in to Ubuntu you mean? === therma is now known as thermal === vtech is now known as darpa [19:42] sebsebseb: yes exactly [19:42] I just went to snaptic package manager and installed firefox again and when I did it came up with a msg that said ubuntu modifications not compatible with firefox 3.5.6...... suggestions? [19:42] sebsebseb: now I'm getting (EE) config/hal: couldn't initialise context: unknown error (null) at the end of the Xorg.*.log for that new screen [19:42] aaronius: i would report it as a kernel bug [19:42] TinoW: switching users on the top right? on the panel? [19:42] erusul: thanks [19:42] sebsebseb: yes exactly === darpa is now known as manchurian-candi [19:43] TinoW: ok so their edited fast user account switcher has messed up on you it seems, but that has nothing to do with xorg [19:43] sebsebseb: really? === zz_kiwifunk is now known as kiwifunk [19:44] TinoW: it's just an app for Gnome, if you remove it from the panel, Lock Screen, Log Out, and Shut Down, should appear in the system menu instead, and that's also where they are meant to be according to upstream Gnome [19:44] Hey guys, I'm having a hard time setting memlock limits in ubuntu.. [19:44] sebsebseb: because it creates the screen and I see the gdm login there - including the mouse pointer. I just cannot input anything nor move the mouse [19:44] I just went to snaptic package manager and installed firefox again and when I did it came up with a msg that said ubuntu modifications 0.7 not compatible with firefox 3.5.6...... suggestions? [19:44] TinoW: yes when pressing log out, it wil go back to the log in screen [19:44] i.e. I want ulimit -l set to unlimited [19:44] sebsebseb: so I still belive there is somethign fishy with the context in which the Xorg server for the new screen is started [19:45] sebsebseb: no it does not [19:45] TinoW: no it does not, to what? [19:45] Dr_Willis: never mind I am an idiot when i dont use the path it is using the default location for sbcl according to system path not the file in that directory that is why it works when I leave out the path but not when I specify the path [19:45] sebsebseb: because "no input" really means I cannot press anything :) === manchurian-candi is now known as kosmic [19:45] TinoW: you can fix xorg maybe in the recovery mode, but also in the recovery mode you can get the root shell and sudo apt-get install kdm tell it to use that, and give that a try [19:46] TinoW: that's an alternative log in screen the KDE one [19:46] sebsebseb: how would that help? [19:47] TinoW: uhmm maybe you weren't clear enough when it came to your issue, since I am assuming things, that I thought you put, and then possible solutions to that [19:47] TinoW: as for xorg, it runs the graphical stuff, Gnome etc [19:47] hi! I am trying to ssh into a machine running a Hardy Live CD. In the local session, you do not have to use a password to do root stuff. How can I get in? [19:48] ssh server is already running. I just don't know the password :/ [19:48] are there any options for installing sun-java6-jdk, sun-java6-jre, and sun-java6-bin *update 13, 16, or 17* using apt-get (i.e. not using the .bin packages directly from Sun)? [19:48] sebsebseb: I know what Xorg does :) [19:49] lb_: I don't think you will be able to ssh in as root [19:49] TinoW: also to log in to other accounts, I assume a log in screen is needed? or something like it? [19:49] sebsebseb: I thought I [19:49] lb_: if you're got root access locally you could always add a user, though. [19:49] i have a strange issue while installing ubuntu... [19:49] i've run into the Eclipse ignoring breakpoints issue using update 15 (it's in update 15 as well) === jelmer is now known as Guest49640 [19:50] after I donwloaded the iso and used it to boot I get this. "partition table invalid or corrupt" [19:50] sebsebseb: I thought I was pretty precise: I switch user using the panel entry, new login screen appears (gnome) but mouse/keyboard aren't working there anymore. I can kill that X and return to the old screen w/o issues [19:50] kill from ssh of course [19:50] David-T: the person I am trying to help is not very computer-literate and just started using ubuntu. :( She encountered this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8332017 [19:50] can anyone please help me [19:50] and doesn't speak English [19:50] TinoW: kill from ssh? [19:50] sebsebseb: login via ssh since keyboard not working of course [19:50] is there a way to restrict the amount of network bandwidth a particular process can use? [19:51] TinoW: it seems that your GDM 2 has gone wrong, you could try KDM instead, that might just work. if not you can of course go back to GDM 2 [19:51] TinoW: also your keyboard should work on Ubuntu really [19:51] wrapster: are you getting this on the boot screen? i.e. white text, black background? [19:51] How stable is the upgrade process to 9.10 from 9.04 via update manager? And how stable is the 9.10 release in general? [19:52] wrapster: if so, are you *sure* that it is booting from the CD and not trying to boot off the HDD in it's current state? [19:52] stargate: never touch a running system [19:52] stargate: If you hardware works good in 9.04, not much point getting 9.10 to be honest [19:52] lb_: ah. sorry, not sure how to fix that remotely.. [19:52] (or at all, really) [19:52] Haha, sounds good, thanks iceroot and sebsebseb :P [19:52] stargate: Also there isn't really anything as such in 9.10 that is worth it really. I suggest trying from a Live CD first [19:52] stargate: its the most important sentence with a computer [19:52] sebsebseb: funny. I logged out w/ current user. Stopped gdm, started again and now its freezing login screen for first user too [19:53] Anybody use Tracker? How do I search for something? If I type "config" it brings up config.php files, but if I specifically type "config.php", the damned thing can't find anything. [19:53] stargate: then you can decide if your going to put it on or not. well to upgrade to 10.04 when that's ou from 9.04 you would have to go through 9.10. Also many people have had issues after upgrading 9.04 to 9.10. [19:53] lb_ : I've heard reinstalling will do the trick [19:53] What the heck is the trick to Tracker?:) [19:53] 冬天到了，春天还会远吗 [19:53] I'll tell her that [19:53] !cn | Darwin2038 [19:53] Darwin2038: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [19:53] orion72: yeah [19:53] TinoW: It might not help, but then again on the other hand it might help a lot, but if your up for it, you could try KDM instead [19:54] stargate: also check out the notes to find out about 9.10 [19:54] wrapster: haha, yeah to which question? [19:54] !notes | stargate [19:54] stargate: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [19:54] well, thanks :) [19:54] very sure.. [19:54] wrapster: very sure that you are booting off the CD? [19:54] wrapster: i asked two questions, so i don't know which you are responding too [19:55] orion72: yeah that its not booting from HD its definitely the ISO [19:55] TinoW: If you do a clean install of 9.10 things will probably work well [19:55] TinoW: well maybe not [19:55] wrapster: and when booting from the ISO, the first thing it does is report the partition table error? [19:55] orion72: sorry for the confusion. [19:55] diffra: what you pastebinned had "1280$" [19:55] yeah. [19:55] sebsebseb: kdm doesn't work either... thats going weird now [19:55] I figured 9.10 had all their new cloud software, so it was worth messing around with, but I definitely appreciate all of the advice. Am reading the literature at the moment. Thanks, sebseseb [19:55] TinoW: hmm [19:56] TinoW: and everything worked in 9.04? which graphics card? [19:56] Hi guys [19:56] wrapster: do you have an existing OS installation on that HDD (e.g Windows) [19:56] is there an easy way to run Ubuntu inside Windows 7, like a virtual machine? [19:56] stargate: yes it has Ubuntu One client [19:56] orion72: no I just created the HD , [19:56] stargate: which can also be installed into 9.04 [19:56] sebsebseb: yes it did and its annvidia card [19:57] I wanna run a virtual Ubuntu in Windows 7. I wanna join you guys. Just tell me how and I'll do it. [19:57] Luyang: in a virtual machine it works [19:57] orion72: what error do you get when you try and boot the machine if you take the ubuntu iso out? [19:57] TinoW: ok well things should be good in 9.10, but many people got issues after upgrading from 9.04, I highly recommend that you do a clean install of 9.10 and try that [19:57] TinoW: which virtual machine? [19:57] Luyang: the latest VMWare player lets you create a VM pretty easily. I suggest you download an ubuntu ISO and VMWare player [19:58] Anybody use Tracker? How do I search for something? If I type "config" it brings up config.php files, but if I specifically type "config.php", the damned thing can't find anything. [19:58] orion72: is it free? wmware? [19:58] hi guys [19:58] Luyang: yes [19:58] sebsebseb: I'll rather not reinstall. We aren't windows, aren't we? :) [19:58] You know guys, I love how easy Ubuntu is for single-user cases, but using Ubuntu in a networked-environment is amazingly painful [19:58] TinoW: sometimes Linux distros should be re installed, plus if you re install you should get Grub 2 and Ext4 without problems [19:58] orion72: since its on virtualbox.. it says "no medium found" [19:59] Why isn't there a team working on making Ubuntu useful in a networked environment? [19:59] TinoW, what about just purging gdm and all dependencies and reinstalling it? [19:59] hi, having problems with booting ubuntu from USB dongle (assuming no hard-disk on my netbook) - any idea which chat to join? [19:59] sebsebseb: I don't want ext4, I already got xfs :) [19:59] I guess there is no way to let Ubuntu go of a CD drive during a live session? [19:59] i am having a problem with ubuntu, sometimes it freezes and i have look in the logs and dont thing anything can some one point me to the right direction? [19:59] Pici, are you free a second please? [19:59] (to burn a newer version, for instance) [19:59] my ubuntu is 9.04 64 bits [19:59] beyossi: what kind of problems? [19:59] wrapster: is this version 3.10 of virtual box? [20:00] GFDI, I can't set memlock limits no matter what I do in 9.10 [20:00] TinoW: also if you do an upgrade, there is likely to be something from the old install that you no longer need that might cause a problem in the future. Oh your using XFS, how is it? I read that it can do the same stuff as Ext4 basicalley [20:00] orion72: 3.06 [20:00] buonasera [20:00] THANKS this sounds awesome. WMWare+Ubuntu+Luyang = Three awesome musketeers! === max is now known as Guest84616 [20:00] :q [20:00] sebsebseb: yes its pretty fast and stable and I'm using it for much longer then ext4 even exists :) [20:00] haha oops [20:00] I got killed [20:01] orion72: version 3.06 [20:01] orion72: sorry got cut out [20:01] TinoW: yep it has had the Ext4 advantages most/all of them for well quite a while now [20:01] ikey: Whats up? [20:01] Pici, May I PM you very quickly? [20:01] TinoW: I installed the ubuntu 9.04 filesystem (from livecd) on my 4G dongle - but the system doesn't boot from it (I made the required change in the bios), saying "Operating Syatem not found" [20:01] ikey: anytime [20:01] Nobody using Tracker? It's no surprise:P I can't get it to do anything useful: ( [20:01] TinoW: well I don't know how long XFS has been around. If you don't want to just re install ok fair enough, but as you may already know, if you have a seperate home, re installs of Linux distros are easier [20:02] beyossi: is it s apecial stick which simulates a floppy drive or something? This could get in the way [20:02] Hello, I have been contemplating installing Ubuntu, but I need to know if I will still be able to use my Adobe programs. Can anyone help me? [20:02] hello how was the commend to go to a certain area? cd what? [20:02] i want to go to a file on desktop [20:02] so i just do cd/desktop/name of file? [20:02] i forgot [20:02] mespejel: you cant access a file with cd [20:03] sebsebseb: there is a lot configuration and packages which makes it harder to duplicate [20:03] Dakara: Which Adobe programs? === miki is now known as gnufreex [20:03] iceroot, what was the commend then? [20:03] mespejel: cd = change directory [20:03] ah i see [20:03] mespejel: why do you want to do this? [20:03] hello guys [20:03] mespejel: vi? cat? less? [20:03] Illustrator, and Photoshop. [20:03] jrib, im trying to install the nvidia drivers.. doing sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.42-pkg2.run [20:03] but first i need to go the the location [20:03] and then do that [20:03] i guess [20:03] mespejel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:03] !nvidia | mespejel [20:03] mespejel: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:03] Dakara: hmm how much RAM do you have? [20:03] cause is not working just like that [20:04] mespejel: it is recommended you use the repositories [20:04] mespejel: vi /dir/otherdir/file [20:04] Hold on, let me check. [20:04] where is that menu.list file that grub uses? [20:04] lb_: grub or grub2? [20:04] Dakara: Also which versions? [20:04] jrib, i know but is not working for me [20:04] Dakara: of the programs [20:04] mespejel: then ask for help with *that* === dings is now known as dings2 === Julia is now known as Janhouse_ [20:04] lb_: in karmic grub is grub2 and is very different, read up on help.ubuntu.com [20:05] ok, will do [20:05] i already ask before.. there was no solution.. and one guy told me to installed the one from the nvidia site [20:05] Dakara: and what kind of stuff are you doing with them? [20:05] !grub2 [20:05] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [20:05] mespejel: because if you install nvidia drivers that way, your X will be broken every time your kernel updates. [20:05] guys where can i get some support [20:05] ?? [20:05] mespejel: of course there's a solution [20:05] nino: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [20:05] !ask | nino [20:05] nino: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:05] 2.0 GB [20:05] !grub2 > lb_ [20:05] lb_, please see my private message [20:06] Dakara: ok and in answer to my other questions? [20:06] thanks. [20:06] TinoW: it is a usb disk-on-key, and it supposed to be my "disk" and no other storage is available. what do you meansimulating floppy drive? [20:06] CS4 [20:07] wrapster: i don't have much experience with virtualbox, soryr. However, that error message is grub error message (Error 5) to be exact [20:07] Dakara: and what kind of stuff are your making with them? [20:07] wrapster: so i'm not exactly sure what introduced that problem or how you have to fix it, but might you start by looking there [20:07] i am having some problem with the VGA driver [20:07] orion72: yeah your right.. thats the error message [20:07] Dakara: there are alternatives, but might not be good enough for what you want. Also there are ways to run those two inside Ubuntu, but not natively [20:07] jrib, then what is that solution? [20:07] mespejel: you haven't stated the problem. [20:07] nino: please ask a real ad detailed question to the channel [20:07] beyossi: some USB sticks have a special boot mode where they simulate an usb connected floppy drive with part of the space. In this case you would have to write the boot image to that virtual floppy drive instead [20:07] im using dell 1535 [20:07] How do I search for something? If I type "config" it brings up config.php files, but if I specifically type "config.php", the damned thing can't find anything. [20:07] orion72: could you tell me where I can look for more info pls. [20:08] nino, what video card ? [20:08] *With Tracker [20:08] cyberkilla: locate [20:08] Well, I am doing an online course which requires CS4 so I guess Ubuntu isn't right for me at this time. [20:08] GM965 [20:08] Thank you anyways. [20:08] Dakara: hang on [20:08] Alright, hanging on. [20:08] intel integrated graphics [20:08] Dakara: well you can try and get working in Wine [20:08] !intel | nino [20:08] nino: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [20:08] anyway ever install the netbook remix? having issues booting from usb [20:08] Dakara: or if you got say an XP CD, you could try them in a Windows virtual machine [20:08] iceroot: Sorry, I mean't with Tracker. I can't get it to return useful results. It is indexed, I just don't know the query syntax. It isn't easily discoverable [20:08] beyossi: some models (U3 comes to mind) can be reformatted. [20:08] Dakara: or just dual boot WIndows for those two, and do your other computer tasks on Ubuntu? [20:09] jrib, well i go to the hardware drivers section.. im not able to install again the nvidia drivers again.. o install them before and i remove them.. dont ask me why.. and now i want to install them again, but is not letting me [20:09] cyberkilla: sorry never heard of "tracker" [20:09] Dakara: Which OS do you curently use? [20:09] AFTER the Message "Checking battery state..." the boot hangs HELP? [20:09] sebsebseb: apt-get upgrade && reboot solved the issue aparently ;) [20:09] iceroot: Okay, no problem. Thanks anyway. [20:09] XP, Windows. [20:09] FishEee: I've done it, it worked great on mine [20:09] TinoW: good [20:09] mespejel: why do you want to install them *again*? This means they are already installed then? [20:09] FishEee: where is it breaking for you? [20:09] hi folks. im running my distro within virtualbox... i've recently updated my kernel to 2.6.30.7, and had to download the sources and prepare modules so that i could compile the virtual box additions - i managed to do that fine and noe vbox additionsworks perfectly with the new kernel. I dont seem to have the "vboxdrv", does anyone know what im talking about? lol [20:09] iceroot: I suppose I should just give up. There is a reason they took it out of the default ubuntu install. It's impossible to figure out what to do with it. [20:09] Ok, nevermind. I was thinking Mac [20:10] AFTER the Message "Checking battery state..." the boot hangs HELP? [20:10] !wine | Dakara [20:10] Dakara: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [20:10] Snausages it isnt breaking just cant get it to boot form usb.. i have the boot order right? am i susposed to put it on usb a special way?

[20:11] Dakara: and Virtualbox is a good program for running Windows inside OS's such as Ubuntu. There is an open source version in the Ubuntu repo download server that lacks USB support, and a closed source version that you can get from them that has it. Both of which are free as in price. [20:11] guntbert: thank u! [20:11] !virtualbox | Dakara [20:11] Dakara: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [20:11] oO [20:11] AFTER the Message "Checking battery state..." the boot hangs HELP? [20:11] FishEee: yeah, you need to put that image file on the usb disk in a very particular way, did you follow those directions? [20:11] any solution for my problem ( using intel GM965 integrated graphics ) while playing a video the system logs out [20:11] hey [20:11] xcsags [20:11] which ones [20:12] Dakara: I don't know how well Photoshop CS4 and Ilusster will work in Wine if at all really, and maybe it's not the best idea to rely on a Windows virtual machine for them either. [20:12] Okay, I ought to be dealing with grub 1 and I'm in the menu.lst file. (I managed to set up a vnc connection.) [20:12] Dakara: WIndows and Ubuntu dual boots are easy to set up though, if you want to do that [20:12] Snausages is kubuntu and ubuntu netbook remix same thing? [20:12] TinoW: When browsing this stick into my ubuntu host then I see the entire file system installed on it, so I guess it is not the issue, isn't it? [20:12] now is saying that is not activated [20:12] WizzKidd: np and Good luck :-) [20:13] FishEee: tried unetbootin? [20:13] wrapster: the virtualbox forums, #vbox on freenode, and googling for: "partition table invalid or corrupt" virtual box [20:13] Thanks Sebsebseb. [20:13] Dakara: There is Crossover too. It is like better Wine, But I am not sure it is free. [20:13] MarderIII no idea what that is hold on [20:13] !dualboot | Dakara [20:13] Dakara: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [20:13] jrib, its saying that is not activated [20:13] this driver is not activated [20:13] mespejel: does it say it is installed?

[21:26] djustice, OMG they all require some useless dependencies, millions of apps; any other way? [21:26] zilla1: and you can set up partitions on the manual install option, as well as in gparted first, but then you would have to finnish off in manual install, telling it what to use the partition as [21:26] hi all [21:26] can anyone help me with this..

[21:55] Avermedia A707 PCIe dual Hybrid analog/dvb-t/dvb-s tv card not work [21:55] dataviruset: ok, that might help if it fails. but i am still searching for the documentation of "upstart" which might cause the problem because this changed between 9.04 and 9.10 and might be the reason you had no loopback-device after reboot... [21:55] zilla1: yes and? [21:55] ı need help pls [21:55] dataviruset because the init.d-scripts havent been called [21:55] gimbli: the thing is, the eth0 didn't go up at the start either, i had to start it manually with ifup eth0 [21:56] zilla1: and 9.04 is now the release before the latest one, but newer is not always better, and with Ubuntu it's not about what is the latest, it's about what is still supported with security updates [21:56] gimbli: here's my networking restart (run over ssh without problems :)) : http://paste.ubuntu.com/321100/ [21:56] sebsebseb, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/482991 [21:56] same issue as that guy [21:57] dataviruset: so the script works like a charme and it might be the upstart problem. i will see whether i can find something. brb ;) [21:57] gimbli: thanks :) [21:59] http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8231009 thats sort of my problem, except he fixed it by merging two drives into one, i have installed linux through Vista [21:59] phantomcircuit__: uhmm well I have had issues with Brasero before, K3B on the other hand tends to always work well === physicspackage_ is now known as physicspackage [22:00] yeah [22:00] 250 MB later [22:00] :( [22:00] phantomcircuit__: 250 MB later???

[22:01] Help, I have finally recognized my WiFi card, but there are no hotspots recognized [22:01] phantomcircuit__: yes that's what I told you earlier, it will want to put KDE stuff on [22:01] yes [22:01] dataviruset could you paste the output of "cat /etc/init/networking" please ? [22:01] has anyone else had this problem? [22:02] phantomcircuit__: Gnome is alright, but I like running a few KDE apps in it as well, sometimes. Well Konversation is the main KDE app I use since it's my IRC client, rather nice one as well. [22:02] phantomcircuit, if you are planning on doing much burning K3B, and unfortunately the required KDE libraries, is probably the way to go [22:02] gimbli: you mean /etc/init.d/networking? http://paste.ubuntu.com/321101/ [22:03] dataviruset: no, it should be "/etc/init" it seems like they moved the scripts for upstart there which is used in 9.10. /etc/init.d is obsolete in 9.04, i guess [22:04] does anyone know how to fix a SH:Grub> error when you try to boot unbuntu?

[22:44] mesenga: Sorry about that wrong person. [22:44] Flare-Laptop, actually i have enough memory.. the problem is that without swap i cant have some functions like suspend or hibernate [22:44] but i have enough memory and fast memory [22:44] ok [22:44] mespejel, how bif a swap file do you want? [22:44] how do I set it so that whenever an application demands attention (like clicking a firefox link when my firefox window is in another work space) that application will be focused? [22:44] big [22:44] gimbli: hmm, but does this all exist in a 9.10 clean install? in that case it would be copy 'n paste? :D [22:44] maybe 1gb [22:44] thats enough [22:44] dataviruset: you can find the file content here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/321125/ [22:44] i just want to use it for does functions.. cause i lower my swappines to 10 [22:45] embrik will that get hidden folders too?

[22:45] gimbli: isn't this a bug or something, then? :o [22:45] gimbli: i mean... do-release-upgrade should do everything? :ooo [22:45] jongbergs, seems is an open bug (probably will never be solved in Karmic). [22:46] dataviruset: if these files doesnt exist after an upgrade... then it is :/ [22:46] TheCheeze, maybe you should use a * to be sure /home/username/* [22:46] gimbli: so now i have two files in /etc/init, network-interface and networking ... [22:47] faryshta_: probably, this bug has already been submitted to launchpad..we just hope ubuntu team will issue a fix asap.

[22:48] mrXX, I use nano [22:48] mrXX: you can do the same stuff in gedit as you can in notepad++ [22:49] dataviruset: does "initctl list" show you some networking-entries? [22:49] mrXX: or bluefish [22:49] jongbergs, but for use the solution I will need to have ubuntu installed the only way to actually fix it is by releasing another .iso which I see improbable. [22:49] mrXX, If you want a gui you can start gedit [22:49] mrXX: prob the closest to notepad++ [22:49] Evning all, have anyonebeen able to use the built-in card-reader of HP-laptops with xD-memory-cards? [22:49] I find kate to be good for a NP++ alt [22:49] but gedit doesnt do formatting, else it is gr8 [22:50] I have a HP Mobile Workstation Compaq 8710w [22:50] gimbli: no, but i ran sudo service networking restart and it restarted the networking stuff [22:50] Can I install Ubuntu One on 8.04 LTS?

[22:50] vonnick: OK, thx! [22:50] gimbli: ah, not now [22:51] vonnick: strange that noone has addressed that matter =) [22:51] is bluefish esp for webdesigners? [22:51] i need to work with php, html, perl mostly [22:51] dataviruset: damn, and i had a little hope that this worked out ;) [22:51] If you can find out who makes the card readers for Hp there's probably a third party driver somewhere [22:51] mrXX: It does all thos [22:51] those* [22:52] do we know how to change the resolution on ubuntu-server 9.10 ??? thanks [22:52] Although ubuntu 8.04 recognizes it from the live cd [22:52] gimbli: hmm. perhaps i should try to restart before you get too mad, you never know... :p [22:52] vonnick: 02:06.6 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev 10) [22:52] bluefish looks gud [22:52] faryshta_: does the version of ubuntu is 64-bit?

[22:55] arooni: Options Emulate3Buttons in your mouse section [22:56] dataviruset: no problem. the best basic information for upstart i have found, by the way, is here: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html [22:56] arooni that's on the ubuntu wiki - look up screen sharing. you need a vnc server on one side [22:56] arooni: ubuntu ships with one.

[22:59] i looked at switching to Fedora 12 but the only thing it trumped Ubuntu on was OpenGL tests [22:59] My laptop turns off by itself, for no reason! Help please!

[23:02] also make sure the dashes aren't supposed to be underscores [23:03] gimbli: yes [23:03] I do that alot [23:03] taofd: i don't see how it would interfere. [23:03] fcuk112, i tried setting it to another key combination... but it doesn't seem tow ork [23:03] Does the distro you run have anything to do with game performance in Wine [23:03] LetsGo67, Could be hardware related, check your temperatures [23:03] vonnick, name is true and it is in desktop. terminal is in desktop too [23:03] fcuk112, when you are selecting files/folders using your keyboard, you use space to select ... if I am selecting multiple files .. i hold down contrl [23:03] sfdf [23:03] r00to33 how? [23:03] dataviruset: sorry, then i really have to pass and i am clueless :/ [23:03] LetsGo67, BIOS [23:03] fcuk112, it would interfere, because IBUS would keep popping up [23:04] Hm [23:04] i have noticed that on this site it says broadcom cards support master mode, but i do not understand what it say about getting it to work (or of any alternatives) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/MasterMode [23:04] gimbli: well, no problem, hehe. i could always start the interfaces with crontab ;D [23:04] Are you doing the command as root?

[23:05] sudo gives root privileges to whatever command you run it with [23:05] it's temporary [23:05] dataviruset: but could you do me a last favor and paste to the dump what "initctl list" displays ?

[23:06] has anybody else had problems with the WindowList applet not letting you select an application in Karmic? [23:06] why not? you mean, never upgrade, just fresh install? [23:06] esde, I've seen nothing but additional problems that disappear on a fresh install [23:06] i see, woble [23:06] i agree [23:06] now [23:06] jongbergs, don't worry. At least I will try it in my laptop. [23:07] true. and i find myself woriking out tons of bugs [23:07] esde, Alsa drivers, Grub, Gnome power manager, wifi [23:07] jongbergs, if I use the synaptic update to get karmic... you think will have the same issue? [23:07] biggest ones in 9.04 -> 9.10 [23:07] gimbli: http://paste.ubuntu.com/321137/ [23:07] exactly, i upgraded once and took hours to restore wireless [23:07] I first upgraded, to check if it would work.. didnt.. clean install *bang* good system [23:07] i had windows and ubuntu installed, but i had to format-uninstall windows and after that my pc did not see any system though i had my ubunttu installed on the other disk, now im writing from CD ubuntu , any idea how to bring back my ubuntu to boot loader? [23:08] also took the time to sepereat emy home partition [23:08] fcuk112, oh wow... you can't even multiselect using the keyboard / ctrl+shift, space anymore... wut the [23:08] woble: these are not those kinds of problems you face on most of the servers. and if a fresh install forces you to have a downtime of several hours for thousands of customers, you would prefer an upgrade (tested before of course ;) ) [23:08] exactly., lots of clean up on an upgrade to make it all compatible [23:08] fcuk112, serious regression... seriously -__-; [23:08] r00to33 no it happens when I'm in Ubuntu. Isn't there a way to check from Ubuntu? [23:08] gimbli several hours of downtime on reinstall? and if you have thousands of customers you should have backup servers [23:09] taofd: i usually just use ctrl/shift with the mouse to multi-select. [23:09] Anyone have an idea why running a program through Wine would cause a program I'm running with root privileges to close? [23:09] LetsGo67, It still can be a hardware issue, when did this start? [23:09] woble: yes, if you have additional software that creates its own structure and you cant just copy and paste the files from your backup [23:09] yeah, but not everyone uses that... sometimes its faster to use the keyboard... they shouldnt disable that feature :/ (its found in every other OS) [23:09] Upgrades are bad chi, doesn't matter what operating system :( [23:09] After update to 9.10 [23:09] r00to33 === usuario-master_ is now known as user [23:09] faryshta_: you can do so, however an alternate install cd does the same thing and saves you extra time, still i don't know if it works out.

[23:10] r00to33 why? [23:10] yes [23:10] irnmn: have you tried gtkpod? [23:10] Got gtkpod, got rhythmbox.. I'm still clueless. Must've got spoiled to Itunes. [23:10] LetsGo67, Did you google? [23:11] fcuk112, wait try multiple selecting... so shift select, than press ctrl, try single selecting again, then multi select again [23:11] irnmn, tried amarok? [23:11] fcuk112, this is a known problem that has plagued gnome for forever [23:11] Does anyone know a good website, to build the perfect ubuntu machine, hardware wise [23:11] I haven't really, really sat down and spent a few hours google diving and trying at it though.

But thank you anyway! [23:12] Millions of headaches if you don't [23:12] Rhythmbox has worked better for me, but Banshee had some nice features. [23:12] +1 for Banshee!

I have also tried an EXT3 driver for Windows, but it doesn't seem to recognize the third partitions format for some reason. any ideas anyone? [23:13] fcuk112, like i said, try using shift to select... shift is used for multi-select you hold it down when you need to select everything between file A and file Z [23:13] hola ç"·$%W"ES·"$" [23:13] MK13: are you using the open source driver or ndiswrapper?

I can do most things if I'm told how [23:36] python-support... but i'm not sure if it is python-support archive anymore [23:36] im a noob with a quick question wondering if anyone could help me out or point me in the right direction :) [23:36] well before you do that Id suggest a search of the forums with the terms stated above [23:36] Um_cara_qualquer: What application, what version, does a debian package not exist? [23:36] i'm getting this error message when i try to unmount my drive/partition: Error unmounting: umount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [23:36] umount: only root can unmount /dev/sdb1 from /media/sdb [23:36] How do I stop lighttpd from starting on boot? [23:37] archet45: unmount what? [23:37] Um_cara_qualquer: isn't that in the repos? run "apt-cache search python-support" in a terminal [23:37] Bam_Bam, do you know how to use grep? [23:37] Is chrome OS avaliable and relesed now? [23:37] its a partition on my second hard disk [23:37] yanzc: no [23:37] Has any one ever had problems with filezilla in firefox where it coudlnt retrieve directory of the server you are connecting to? [23:37] the thing is... i wanna install Emesene 1.5... but the package says i need a python-support with a version 0.90 or higher [23:37] yanzc: altough I guess Google have some sort of internal version [23:37] archet45: you need to be root to do that...run sudo umount /media/sdb [23:37] k [23:37] sebsebseb, i use it for my virtual machines via vbox [23:37] archet45: oh you done a shared folder with the host? [23:38] Um_cara_qualquer: in karmic the version is high enough, 1.0.3, so just "apt-get install python-support" [23:38] i think it maybe easy to use [23:38] please someone? [23:38] not yet, just trying to figure out why vbox can't "access" the vdi file [23:38] as well as why i can't unmount the drive either [23:38] i already tried that... i don't think i have the repositories needed [23:38] the two issues seem to share the same solution :) [23:38] Um_cara_qualquer: it's in the main repos; do you have karmic? [23:38] ah O_o sorry man... i'm not sure [23:38] quit [23:39] i'm a beginner :P [23:39] on linux [23:39] Um_cara_qualquer: what does "lsb_release -a" tell you? [23:39] Um_cara_qualquer: are you using 9.04 or 9.10? [23:39] pamhata penyu mese vanhu vari muno [23:40] MsTegan: hi [23:40] it says: i'm a complex code line that you can't understand [23:40] ScabbyMadman alright, Ill try it. [23:40] 9.04 [23:40] sebsebseb ho [23:40] er...hi [23:40] sry [23:40] sebsebseb, would the reason why i'm having this issue be because i created a new user on my system? [23:40] i'm using 9.10 x64 [23:40] ver? [23:40] Hello, how can I stop a program like lighttpd from starting on boot? [23:40] MsTegan, afetr that if you believe the backports wil work you enable them in synaptic [23:40] MsTegan: just went through stuff you put, seems your getting some sort of help, but things that worked before can sometimes stop working on an upgrade to a later version of Ubuntu [23:40] quit [23:40] hi [23:41] Bam_Bam, you need to disable it via the /etc/init folder [23:41] Bam_Bam, try checking System>>preferences>>startup applications [23:41] sebsebseb evidently [23:41] Um_cara_qualquer: okay, the easiest way would probably be to add this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~philip5/+archive/extra [23:41] thanks ScabbyMadman [23:41] Um_cara_qualquer: ah, yes, in 9.04 the version is 0.8.7, so you'll need something else; maybe there is a repo on launchpad, let me check [23:41] or look in the start-up utility in the syste> asministration [23:41] Um_cara_qualquer: ah, arand beat me [23:41] MsTegan: also your first message here was rather attention seeking :D :) [23:41] humm [23:42] anyone know why i would need root permissions now to mount/umount drives? [23:42] is that a repository? [23:42] ScabbyMadman: I didn't see that utility showing it [23:42] is it possible for me to give my user permissions for this action? [23:42] Um_cara_qualquer: you know how to add one? [23:42] sebsebseb lol its because nobody I know can do anything other than windows [23:42] yes [23:42] !ppa | Um_cara_qualquer [23:42] Bam_Bam, are you comfortable with the bash shell? [23:42] Um_cara_qualquer: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [23:42] MsTegan: So you got backports enabled now or whatever they were saying to do? [23:43] sebsebseb not yet... [23:43] ScabbyMadman: comfortable enough [23:43] I've been using it the past week on my Ubuntu server [23:43] anybody playing quake 3 in ubuntu? [23:43] Um_cara_qualquer: hmm, yea, so it works like a repository. (that factoid was not particulary informative in this case) [23:44] anyone know why I would only be able to mount/umount drives via root? [23:44] heh alright [23:44] mindos: probably a few, it should be supported. [23:45] arand, how can i get console in q3? [23:45] MsTegan: ok do that then since ScabbyMadman suggested it [23:45] MsTegan: system > administration > software sources [23:45] sorry but i thought i could add a repository... but it doesn't show the add button when i try to add [23:45] =/ [23:45] sebsebseb Im there [23:45] sebsebseb, Id hope MsTegan would have searched the forums for alittle more bg but... [23:46] MsTegan: find it and get it ticked/checked [23:46] MsTegan: also it seems you got two issues? web cam and compiz? [23:46] Invenst [23:46] Bam_Bam, which ubuntu distro you using [23:46] 9.10 [23:46] mindos: I have not used it in GNU, but isn't it normally invoked by the ~ key (or whatever it is there above the tab key?) [23:46] ScabbyMadman Im doing both. I've been trying to solve this issue on the forums for 3 days. Yeah but im more concerned with my webcam since AWN is really optional [23:47] archet45: permissions [23:47] Um_cara_qualquer: I'm not sure if python-support is in that repo in the first place [23:47] MsTegan, whatever works for you is cool [23:47] sebsebseb im more concerned with webcam, I get an error in terminal when i run compiz but AWN will start [23:47] archet45: for security reasons, you can't just do whatever you want to all folders [23:47] scabbymadman i'd gladly try anything :D [23:47] hmm [23:47] MsTegan, other things to check: does amodule get loaded...? for the webcam [23:48] can anyone tell me if i have sth connected to an usb port (bus 003 - lsusb said it) then where is it's port located in /dev ? [23:48] arand: most stuff like that in Ubuntu is owned by root, since it's part of the operating system, but sometimes, you might need root for your own partition [23:48] MsTegan, might be a simple gstreamer issue too [23:48] hey every one. one question who here has been having very slow internet in ubuntu 9.10? i cannot figure it out. [23:48] arand: I mean sudo access or whatever [23:48] sebsebseb, where are permissions edited at? [23:48] oh i just got it... [23:49] let me try add [23:49] W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 7D2C7A23BF810CD5 when I enabled backports [23:49] arand: uhmm I just started messaging you instead of archet45 [23:49] :( [23:49] arand: by mistake [23:49] !permissions | archet45 [23:49] archet45: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [23:49] sebsebseb: np :) [23:49] upuntu servers [23:50] MsTegan: as for Compiz, which graphics card do you have? [23:50] sebsebseb, why would I have lost the ability to simply mount through the file explorer though? [23:50] bleh.. ubuntu hates my touchpad. [23:50] before i simply had to just elevate the privilages via my password [23:50] MsTegan: web cam uhmmm I don't do web cams, but you can use a program called cheese to help you configure it or whatever. [23:50] !webcam | MsTegan [23:50] MsTegan: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [23:50] sebsebseb no it won't even find it, I know HOW to use it [23:51] MsTegan: you may need to configure the web cam so Ubuntu finds it, which won't be that easy for you I expect, also depending on your web cam, it might not even be possible [23:51] !permissions [23:51] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [23:51] sebsebseb it used to work, with my old version. [23:51] MsTegan: I mean the settings for the web cam in Ubuntu configure those some how, so the web cam is found and works [23:52] MsTegan, did you enable backports in the Updates tab from the repositories menu? [23:52] MsTegan: Which was your old version? 8.10? [23:52] sebsebseb yep [23:52] VCoolio, arand thx for the help [23:52] its a netgear wg111v3 wifi usb [23:52] ScabbyMadman I used software sources and checked the little box but I got an error [23:53] MsTegan, hang on running a simulation just for you [23:53] MsTegan: Since 8.04, overall 8.10 has been my favourite release... [23:53] so no one has any idea on maybe why i just out of no where can mount/unmount drives anymore without using the terminal? [23:53] ScabbyMadman: a simulation aye? [23:53] I have the same problem as archet45 [23:54] archet45: you can try something graphical to change it [23:54] it was working fine until i added another user, [23:54] ScabbyMadman when I try and update now it tells me the "public key is not available" There are a lot of bugs so far with 9.10 [23:54] ScabbyMadman and I really liked 8.10 [23:54] archet45: to change the owner, but... [23:54] For me it changed randomly [23:54] i dont understand why i cant just choose the drive from "places" type in my password and then have it mounted, like Ubuntu did initially [23:54] MsTegan: yeah 8.10 :) [23:55] MsTegan: unfortunatly it will stop being supported on the desktop this April I think or around then, but at the end of April 10.04 comes out which is the next LTS [23:55] MsTegan: you could try 9.04 [23:55] i've had to re-install Ubuntu twice now because thats the only way i can get it to revert back to not having to use the terminal simply to mount the drives [23:56] Well if they fix the bugs then i wont need to revert lol [23:56] MsTegan: overall I find 9.04 better than 9.10 [23:56] hi!! .. how can i run the php on ubuntu 9.10? [23:56] sebsebseb I updated them both the same day because I hadn't noticed the new version in update manager [23:56] mesenga: You want to do a LAMP set up? Linux Apache MySQL, and PHP/Perl/Python ? [23:56] never got MsTegan I had no problem pulling any backport pkg === john is now known as Guest26653 [23:56] mesenga: you install it, then to 'php file.php' [23:56] Hello everyone, Quick question. I need to rebuild a failed Gentoo box that had a mysql database on it. I'm going to use Ubuntu on the rebuild. (In fact I have 9.10 up and running). My problem is the old system was running an old version of mysql (v4.0.26). I need to install this same version to recover my databases. But using apt-get I can't find an old version. I've turned on backports in our sources.list and #apt-cache search mysql-server returns [23:57] version 5.0 and 5.1 for mysql. I have an older 6.10 box running and it shows mysql-server 4.1 available (havn't run a apt-get update on it in a long time) Does anyone know how I should proceed? === Guest26653 is now known as FewClues [23:57] To anyone who could help: I've had repeated problems with pulseaudio so I decided to remove it and alsa, then I tried to install OSS4 but it was being very fussy. Now I have almost-installed versions of alsa and oss4 on here and I just want to know how I can get a good sound system that works well... [23:57] davidl_: Are you sure you need an old version of mysql? [23:57] MsTegan: well 10.04 should be pretty good, I wonder if a lot of the common issues will be fixed for it though, as in most of the wireless and sound issues and web cam even, I guess most of those issues won't be fixed for 10.04 though for various reasons, which is also ashame [23:57] sebsebseb, i installed using this: apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 [23:57] I have installed Back In Time, but I can't tell if it's working. I have it set to backup every hour, but I don't see it taking any snapshots, other than when I click the button to take one manually [23:58] MsTegan: 10.04 has to be rather good basically, because it's the next Long Term Support release [23:58] Do I have to leave it running in the background for it to work? [23:58] !lamp | mesenga [23:58] mesenga: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [23:58] sebsebseb, when i right click the drive and navigate to the permissions tab it says "the permissions of "sdb2" could not be determined" [23:58] Mike_lifeguard: I don't have good msql dumps of my tables. Apparently I need to restore the /var/lib/mysql files to the same version of the database engine to have a chance at getting anything back [23:58] when i try to access localhost on browser, i can see the "It works!" page.. but when i create the php file (with phpinfo function) the php file is downloaded [23:58] sebsebseb, would this mean there is an underlying problem? [23:59] HI 2 all guys !!! [23:59] who can help me ... there is a litle problem with ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala [23:59] How do I view my Ip address on my system [23:59] i need help [23:59] ? [23:59] archet45: not sure, but I think a few people have had issues with mounting and unmounting partitions in 9.10, I think there might be something in the release notes for that even [23:59] i also =) [23:59] !notes | archet45 [23:59] archet45: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910
