[00:00] americas army [00:00] sebsebseb so maybe I shouldn't panic lol [00:00] davidl_: then you can get an old version from mysql's website and install it manually if you can't find a packaged version, I guess. [00:00] MsTegan: How much RAM do you have? [00:00] !ask | RaXOR [00:00] RaXOR: 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. :-) [00:01] Mike_lifeguard: I was only able to find version 4.1 there... [00:01] Cuddles: ifconfig in a terminal or right click on network applet in the top toolbar > connection information [00:01] ty [00:01] I was using ipconfig [00:01] :S [00:01] thx [00:01] ifconfig | grep "inet addr" [00:02] Mike_lifeguard: so backports only go back so far? Are there different backports for older versions of Ubuntu? I suppose I could try installing a much older distro.. [00:02] this is sorted =) [00:02] sebsebseb omg, I don't know. That's how bad I've gotten with computers [00:02] MsTegan: there is bound to be a way to get it working in 9.10, but maybe/probably you can virtual machine 8.10 and have the web cam working :) [00:02] -> Cuddles ifconfig | grep "inet addr" [00:02] MsTegan: ok free -m in the terminal and what does it say for total? [00:02] davidl_: Yeah, I mean... old software isn't supported forever; at some point you're supposed to upgrade. I suggest you ask in #mysql about getting an old version [00:03] anyone run gtx 275 with compiz? [00:03] RaXOR, you were having issues mounting/ummounting via 9.10? [00:03] Mike_lifeguard: They laughed at me when I asked... === jason3 is now known as argonaut_ [00:03] have proplem with hymera 9.10 any help plz [00:04] ya [00:04] davidl_: I bet the person who laughed was domas :D [00:04] davidl_: Then what do you expect us to do? [00:04] davidl_: Sure, troll the archives for a packaged version, but it'll be totally unsupported by anyone at all. [00:04] any body help me [00:04] davidl_: If you can even find it. [00:05] Then... my problem is installing nvidia drivers, i've nvidia ge force 7300 gs, but when i've downloaded and installed driver , i have some bugs, f.ex. cant start terminal =( ??? [00:05] and system panel not clear [00:05] help [00:05] Mike_lifeguard: I was thinking maybe I didn't have apt-get configured properly... or there's some 'secret voodoo' that makes older packaged available. [00:05] \ j#linuxac [00:06] \j #linuxac [00:06] ayman: use the other slash: / [00:06] archet45... yep [00:06] Mike_lifeguard: but I guess older packages are deleted eventually...... [00:06] davidl_: Nope. The old packaged versions might not even be around. For example, if the version you're looking for is from a version of ubuntu that isn't supported any longer, then there's no need to have it in the archives, and it probably isn't [00:06] Hello, for some reason when I press a key, my mouse lags, and then "jumps" to where it should be. This causes me to be unable to play all games, even native. Any solutions? [00:06] I have an apple keyboard/hub, but I have this problem even when the mouse is not plugged in through it. [00:06] ok sir but iam having proplem and needed to fix it [00:06] can you help me [00:07] RaXOR, did you find any kind of fix or work around? [00:07] tried [00:07] Hello, I'm having significant difficulties getting Ubuntu 9.10 to load on my computer. I previously had xp on it, created a live cd, partitioned it and installed seemingly without problems. On it's first load it updated all the packages. Since that first use, after turning it on or rebooting, it loads completely without error about 10% of the time (but I can't figure out why it will boot or not boot). Xp is still functional. Even t [00:07] but... i can show screenshots... [00:07] Mike_lifeguard: so I should look in the LTS versions? [00:07] R0b0t1: If someone helps you with that, can you let me know? [00:07] no result for fixes [00:08] davidl_: that'd be your best bet [00:08] so people who use ubuntu and randomly can't mount/unmount drives are basically SOL? [00:08] archet45: what is your question? [00:09] Mike_lifeguard: ok... thanks for your help! [00:09] whenever i try to mount or unmount a partition from a drive that has two ntfs partitions, i get an error message saying only root can do that [00:09] davidl_: no problem. sorry it wasn't as simple as you were hoping [00:09] sebsebseb, ok.. after type 'sudo tasksel install lamp-server' what do i? [00:09] sudo su [00:09] sharmon: so ... what is the actual problem? ubuntu won't boot? [00:10] archet45: you need to use sudo [00:10] archet45 type sudo su [00:10] jrib, i simply want to be able to mount/unmount drives via elevated privileges like ubuntu did intially [00:10] Mike, Yes, ubuntu won't consistently boot [00:10] i can not open any partion on hymera 9.10 any body help here [00:10] !who | sharmon [00:10] sharmon: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[00:19] ayman: ##linux would probably be a better place to ask in [00:19] !notes | delight [00:19] delight: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 === argonaut_ is now known as argonaut [00:20] Alguém pode me auxiliar com a nova versão ? [00:20] !br | MarkSpider [00:20] MarkSpider: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [00:20] Mike_lifeguard: no I'm talking about the regular updates that comes after release [00:20] back :) [00:20] sharmon: Can you edit the boot line in grub (for the normal boot) and remove 'quiet' and 'splash' - then use that line to boot? [00:21] i deleted some lines from fstab that pertained to the two partitions i was having issues with and it has resolved the issue :) [00:21] Mike_lifeguard: can you explain that process in more detail please? [00:21] delight: update-manager should give you those, where they're available. I still don't know how to get changelog entries for CLI though - if you figure it out let me know how you did it please :D [00:22] Mike_lifeguard: don't know either about cli ... but today there where updates for all sort of packages a bunch of kde packages too ... and in the update-manager there was no description [00:22] sharmon: in GRUB, hit ESC if you have a timeout - this will stop the timeout. Then, hit 'e' to edit that entry in the boot menu. Then, you want to edit the kernel line to remove those things I mentioned. The kernel line should be obvious - it is the longest one, has something like initrd or something in it [00:23] would be great if there would be some web-page with maybe rss-feed that describes the updates [00:23] sharmon: quiet and/or splash might be on their own lines - you can remove the whole line if need be [00:23] this must be the stupidest question but i have to ask it anyway [00:23] :) [00:23] delight: Did it say why? There are not any changelogs for updates coming from PPA, for example. [00:23] what can I use to turn the ubuntu machine's monitor on at a certain time every day and off at a certain time every night? [00:23] can i run .dmg? [00:24] :( [00:24] emanux, .dmg - like an apple installer? what are you trying to install? [00:24] can i run mac os x .dmg file? [00:25] Mike_lifeguard: it was no ppa it was regular kubuntu updates ... don't rember what it was saying ... someting like no desciption available [00:25] Hole:1 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com karmic-updates/main kdebase-workspace-bin 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu7.1 [1.980kB] [00:25] im going to install the flexbuilder for mac os x [00:25] delight: Yeah, it should really tell us *why* there is no description available. It is somewhat infuriating since it is contrary to the spirit of FLOSS - but that is how it is [00:26] emanux: no you casn not run dmg in ubuntu [00:26] thank you guys === argonaut is now known as argonaut_ === argonaut_ is now known as argonaut [00:27] are there any problems with the new ubuntu install with x11vnc? [00:27] i have really no choice but to run .dmg in os x box [00:27] Hi. ffmpeg says "Unknown encoder 'libfaac'" despite libfaac is installed. [00:27] How do I fix it? Thanks. [00:27] hi what can i use to download magnet links on linux? [00:28] Is there an editor similar to Notepad++ for ubuntu? Specifically, I want the sort and conversion macros, and regex search-and-replace. [00:28] anyone here recommend me good video capture software for 64bit ubuntu :) [00:28] archet45: capturing what kind of video? from a camcorder? from the screen? [00:29] archet45: avidemux or kino [00:29] Mike_lifeguard, analog from a vcr [00:29] Mike_lifeguard: Maybe you can try Cream, it's a Vim mod to make it user-friendly [00:29] any news on google chrome on linux? [00:29] movela, does kino support anlog capture? [00:29] tnx [00:29] gasull: I don't think so. I'm one of the ones that rebooted his computer to get out of vim :\ [00:29] join [00:30] the only video capture software apps i've seen for linux so far simply do screen capture or digital video capture [00:30] emanux: There is a chromium ppa that seems to work fine for me in Karmic. Let me get you a link [00:30] help [00:30] emanux: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [00:30] !ask | yanzc [00:30] yanzc: 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. :-) [00:30] chromium in Karmic is working fine for me, just some minor bugs when i see videos... [00:30] Mike_lifeguard: it doesn't look like Vim. You don't have to worry about insert mode et al. give it a try [00:31] When I am installing Ubuntu, I get this error: wubi-9.10ubuntu1-rev160. Can anyone tell me whats going on and how do I fix it? [00:31] emanux, just an FYI but you might be interested in http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/flexbuilder_linux/ [00:31] if there is WINE for windows, is there an emulator for Mac OSX? [00:31] Mike_lifeguard: Just clarifying, but since I have a dual boot set up, I get the choice, xp or ubuntu and then after selecting ubuntu it goes into some text before stalling out. At what point would I be in GRUB? [00:31] Dakara: That isn't an error message, that is a version string. [00:31] what app can turn a monitor on and off at specific times? [00:31] anybody can help me with my ffmpeg/aac problem?

[00:32] How do I fix it though, it tells me there is a problem with it and It won't let me fix it. [00:32] gasull, wow that great [00:32] can someone help me remove wl and install b43 [00:32] sharmon: If you have a timeout -- like after 5s it automatically boots into the first entry. IF you have that, then you can stop the countdown with ESC. If you don't, then don't worry about that, just edit the GRUB entry [00:33] Mike_lifeguard: ah, now I see [00:33] Mike_lifeguard: and you said delete quiet and splash from ther line correct? [00:33] does anybody use ffmpeg here? [00:33] anyone know of some analog video capture software for x64 9.10 ubuntu? [00:33] sharmon: yes [00:34] hello? can someone help me remove wl and install b43 [00:34] Zykotick9, i adobe does not update that anymore (i think they are abandoning flexbuilder for linux) [00:34] How do I delete the user files from deleted users? Right click option does not permit "remove to Trash" option. [00:34] sharmon: That should give you the scrolling wall of text during boot so you can (supposedly) see what's going on. Normally with errors, it will stop scrolling so you can see them [00:34] cerebral: you'll likely need to do it as root [00:34] That's whay im looking for alternative [00:34] emanux, i had never even heard of flexbuilder before you asked about it -- i have NO idea(s) [00:34] Mike_lifeguard: ah I see. So now with that deleted I should hit ctrl-x to boot?

I don't know how to fix it or what the problem is, it nearly finishes installing and then says there is an error. [00:36] LM9, it works like "apt-cache search PKGYOURLOOKINGFOR" [00:36] emanux, if there is a windows version then perhaps you could run that in wine and/or Virtualbox [00:36] im already looking in to that options [00:37] Dakara : check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [00:37] I don't want to search the package I'm looking for. I want apt-cache to list a comprehensive list of packages currently installed [00:37] Mike_lifeguard: Well, seemed it was one of the odd times that it loaded. I'm going to restart and see how it does. [00:37] but if i have the option to run it natively, i will [00:37] sharmon: ah, of course! As soon as you want it to malfunction, all is right with the world :) [00:37] emanux, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=5523&iTestingId=32026 [00:38] Mike_lifeguard: Then I'm going to shut it down and bring it back up again.

Is magicrescue likely my best hope? It doesn't automatically mount the stick anymore [00:47] Mike_lifeguard and sebsebseb: because i installed ReactOS and it uses MBR not GRUB. GRUB gives me Error 17 [00:47] alazyworkaholic1: magicresecue what's that? [00:47] I might be able to add it to GRUB for boot but idk how [00:47] uninstall i think would be easier? [00:47] PCTeacher012: oh ReactOS is rather early development [00:48] PCTeacher012: since lack of developers === jonz_ is now known as jonzbcc [00:48] Is there any Linux Antivirus utilities targeted to scan windows partitions? [00:48] i get bootmgr when trying to boot windows from grub, how to fix? [00:48] sebsebseb: I know it is, but im going to help out with development of it, and i need the OS to work with them [00:48] sebsebseb: I quicksearched recover in synaptic [00:48] PCTeacher012: it's not the kind of OS that is worth psyicallying installing yet, unless it's just some test machine [00:48] crohakon: in many cases you can probably just type cd thestart and it will autocomplete it. === Andorin is now known as Sauron === Sauron is now known as Andorin [00:48] PCTeacher012: or well that then, helping with development :) [00:48] thanks for the help [00:49] Rods_Tiger, to turn monitor(s) off you can use the command "sudo xset dpms force off" you might be able to setup a cron job to do this at a particular time -- i'm guessing "... force on" would do the reverse, don't know... good luck [00:49] crohakon: or you can escape the spaces with \ like cd the\ directory\ here/ [00:49] sebsebseb: This is 10 yrs old, its worth it to me :) I want to help with their development :) And Error 17 GRUB gives me, so i either need to: 1 add it to GRUB (how?) or 2: Uninstall it (How, or is it better?) [00:49] ok [00:49] crohakon: or you can use quotes: cd "the directory here" [00:49] i got build essentials [00:49] PCTeacher012: What's 10 years old? Also which version of Ubuntu? [00:49] emma: typing quotes around the name is easier, such as /home//"folder name" [00:49] now i get the same error as earlier [00:49] sebsebseb: This computer, and liveCD 9.04 [00:49] well a buncha errors [00:49] PCTeacher012: I mentioned that one. [00:49] emma: Just noticed, srry [00:50] I'm on a vanilla Karmic Beta install at the moment; I last tried to update about a week ago, and the system died during upgrade, so re-install etc, now it's all set-up (and everything's backed up) I am prepared to play around with broken stuff, should I update again? When I click Check it rns and offers me a partial upgrade, should I do it? [00:50] PCTeacher012: on the hard disk, Grub won't boot only ReactOS, and right now your on LIve CD? [00:50] i run ./configure and it seems fine, then i go try typing "make" and i get a TON of errors [00:50] sebsebseb: This is 10 yrs old, its worth it to me :) I want to help with their development :) And Error 17 GRUB gives me, so i either need to: 1 add it to GRUB [00:50] I had it shipped to me, so i dont have 9.10 [00:50] sebsebseb: This is 10 yrs old, its worth it to me :) I want to help with their development :) And Error 17 GRUB gives me, so i either need to: 1 add it to GRUB [00:50] and yes, right now i am on Live CD, ubuntu 9.04 [00:50] Mike_lifeguard: how do I access the /boot/grub/menu.lst file? I can't seem to find it in the folder. [00:50] sorry [00:50] PCTeacher012: re install Grub [00:51] PCTeacher012: I think that may or may not be easier, unless the directory has 6 words in it, then using \ will be fewer key presses. [00:51] re GRUB ERROR 17 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 [00:51] can i add the boot loader (MBR) to it? or can i just update grub? or do i truly need to reinstall?

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. [00:52] This is GRUB Legacy also [00:52] PCTeacher012: yes I know since 9.04, and that's for Grub legacy, also I think that's the first time I have done the wrong factoid when wanting !grub [00:52] first error is libdevmapper.h: no such file or directory [00:53] sebsebseb: lol oky, it says menu.lst but it is empty, is that right? [00:53] PCTeacher012: well I assumed it was Grub legacy, since you can do Grub 2 on 9.04 as well, but legacy is default [00:53] PCTeacher012 : http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p15.html [00:53] kruqn : do you have all dependencies [00:53] PCTeacher012: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:53] im not sure, can i contact you via private message the channel moves too fast [00:54] sesebseb: Yes it is empty [00:54] kruqn : yes [00:54] Hello, for some reason when I press a key, my mouse lags, and then "jumps" to where it should be. This causes me to be unable to play all games, even native. Any solutions? [00:54] I have an apple keyboard/hub, but I have this problem even when the mouse is not plugged in through it. [00:54] kruqn: it's not moving that fast at the moment [00:55] PCTeacher012: no [00:55] PCTeacher012: should be something there [00:55] I accidentally formatted a usb stick. Is is possible to recover any files? [00:55] PCTeacher012: ,but if you re install it, it will make a new one I guess [00:55] "No GRUB directory found. To create a template run 'mkdir /boot/grub' first. To install grub, install it manually or try the 'grub-install' command. ### Warning, grub-install is used to change your MBR. ###" Sounds bad... [00:55] grub-install does not work [00:55] PCTeacher012: Grub should go on your MBR [00:56] how do i just directly access the MBR and not GRUB since ReactOS is on the MBR [00:56] ? [00:56] Mike_lifeguard: found it, it was in grub.cfg Once I've edited it, how do I save it? [00:56] PCTeacher012: ReactOS is on the MBR what? [00:56] ReactOS installs its file on MBR [00:56] PCTeacher012: no it's not. or uhmm? RactOS should be on a partition! [00:56] sharmon: Then you're using GRUB2 (not a big difference, I just thought you were using GRUB legacy for some reason) [00:57] PCTeacher012: OS's go on partitions, boot loaders well the tiny bit of them, go on the MBR [00:57] sebsebseb: Well yea, it has its own partition, but boot commands are in MBR [00:57] sharmon: BUT! that means you cannot edit the file directly - it will simply get overwritten on boot. There should be instructions for how to change things in the header comments [00:57] Mike_lifeguard: Should I be using GRUB legacy or a different GRUB? [00:57] PCTeacher012: I don't know [00:58] wwwwwwwwwoooooyyyy [00:58] sharmon: GRUB2 is fine - that is the current version ("legacy" means "old, unsupported, and deprecated") [00:58] PCTeacher012: should be able to edit menu.lst though. you could even try installing Grub 2 in 9.04, maybe not the best idea though [00:58] *sigh* okay, sebsebseb: How do i grapically reinstall grub [00:58] sharmon: for editing grub2 check here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [00:58] PCTeacher012: as far as I know you can't [00:58] sebsebseb: Okay, so how do i reinstall it any other way? [00:58] PCTeacher012: well there might be one CD out there, but can't remember what it's called the thing I am thinking of [00:59] is it even possible to capture analog in ubuntu? [00:59] yaa [00:59] PCTeacher012: Why are you still on 9.04 by the way? [01:00] LiveCD. I got LiveCD BEFORE Karmic. [01:00] fadil, what software?

[01:01] ioooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh === Crazy_Bastard is now known as Crazy_Bastard_Sw [01:01] archet45, which one?

All I can find are apps that have nothing to do with monitors [01:02] what im doing :P [01:02] PCTeacher012: There is #grub [01:02] ZykoticK9, i can see the video just fine in tvtime, i just dont know of any linux software that will capture it for me === Andorin is now known as YELLING_BIRD [01:02] hey can anyone help me with getting my wireless to work on my ASUS K40IJ with Ubuntu 8.10?

[01:03] Rods_Tiger, i'm unaware of any program to do what you want - that's why i sent you that xorg command to do it with... [01:03] I know, hopefully they will make an exception :( [01:03] !Grub2 [01:03] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [01:03] FactoringHumanit, yes [01:03] does anyone know how i can integrate LostIRC with libnotify [01:03] PCTeacher012: well do 9.10? [01:03] PCTeacher012: you get Grub 2 by default and yep [01:03] I dont wanna burn another CD because i have 3 left lol [01:03] Hello everyone [01:03] ZykoticK9, no where to point me to? [01:03] zykotick9 - I didn't understand that [01:04] jeffmr: unfortunately the guy i'm installing it for doesn't really want 9.10 [01:04] anyone know if it's possible to use aircrack or any similar programs, with a wireless gaming adapter??? [01:04] PCTeacher012: the chance seems to be high by the way that if you upgrade 9.04 to 9.10 that you might get issues, it seems many people have had issues after doing that. [01:04] Where is the gtk2 engines directory? [01:04] yepp. I know lol [01:04] FactoringHumanit: who in their right mind would want ubuntu's pseudo-stable release? [01:04] PCTeacher012: so why not clean install 9.10 first, and then dual boot with ReactOS? [01:04] Rods_Tiger, in a terminal try "sudo xset dpms force off" then move your mouse to turn back on [01:04] FactoringHumanit, yeah [01:04] PCTeacher012: and with Grub 2 [01:05] justfil: ? what do you want to do? [01:05] arghh2d2: that would be why he doesn't want 9.10 lol [01:05] zykotick9 - no, I want it to do it when I'm not there [01:05] where i can download the hackinstosh thing? [01:05] FactoringHumanit: he's smart [01:05] archet45, have you looked into MythTV at all? also the programs tvtime & xawtv [01:05] I dont fully trust Grub 2 yet :P First full release is buggy. Always [01:05] zykotick9 - otherwise it's easier to just push the power button myself [01:05] emanux: that's piracy [01:05] ok [01:05] hehehehehe [01:05] I have 9.10 and I'm having a problem with yahoo games, sun java6 and Flash is installed but it still says that either one or both haven't been [01:05] VCoolio, to install a new engine. I've found the dir - /usr/share/gtk-engines [01:06] can ne1 tell me where can i go either to ask or read how to upgrade the ati drivers from the default ubuntu install to what the ati.com has thx [01:06] Rods_Tiger, not there? is this a remote machine? [01:06] emanux: also off topic for this channel, but also their off topic channel [01:06] yes [01:06] soory [01:06] !piracy > emanux [01:06] emanux, please see my private message [01:06] FactoringHumanit, I can try to hehlp [01:06] ZykoticK9, is tvtime able to capture the video? [01:06] justfil: installing engines doesn't work that way; which one do you want? isn't it in the repos? [01:06] jeffmr: any help would be appreciated [01:06] Rods_Tiger, well, that command will turn the monitor off... you could potentially use it in combination with a cron job (to run at a specific time) [01:06] FactoringHumanit: just sit in here for awhile and count how many problems with 9.10 and count and compare to problems with 9.4...gaurantee 9.10 outnumbers. [01:06] archet45, i think so [01:06] Hi, I have a problem where the trash icon on my lower gnome panel won't load, and I would like to delete items in my trash. How can this be done? [01:07] i think i just need to map the wireless on/off FN key properly but i can't find the code to map it to [01:07] VCoolio, gtk2-engines-aurora, gtk2-engines-pixbuf, gtk2-engines-murrine [01:07] zykotick9 - no, I'll wait for a proper app to do it the proper way without typing [01:07] arghh2d2_: your saying more problems with 9.10 than 9.04? [01:07] any help with this problem would be appreciated [01:07] Rods_Tiger, then you might want to hire a program to make that for you -- you might be waiting a LONG time [01:08] sebsebseb: Grub does not work on FAT32 which ReactOS uses [01:08] Rods_Tiger, "proper way without typing" classic :) [01:08] justfil at least pixbuf and murrine you can install right away [01:08] PCTeacher012: uhmm [01:08] how do i create the menu.lst file through Comand [01:08] PCTeacher012: part of Grub goes onto the MBR [01:08] VCoolio, yeah, I saw them in the repo, thanks [01:08] PCTeacher012: the rest goes in /boot [01:08] i know [01:08] I've been leaving the monitor on all day and night for the past few years, a few more won't hurt [01:08] oh well. How do i create menu.lst through terminal [01:08] gksudo does not allow me to save [01:09] PCTeacher012: also this thing about ReactOS installing itself to MBR does not make sense?

[01:23] LOPA: You might not have any hardware that has a proprietary driver offered [01:23] soreau, i have the intel 915 chipset and want my resolution to be 1440x900 [01:24] chuckm1: what's lvmpm? [01:24] chuckm1: get hold of data, and get rid of your Wubi install, that's what I would suggest :) and then do real partitions [01:24] !dualboot | chuckm1 [01:24] chuckm1: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [01:24] LOPA: Intel has strictly oss drivers and they are already installed. Change your resolution with Sys>Prefs>Display [01:24] sebsebseb: Loopmounted Virtual Partition Manager allows users to upgrade their existing Wubi or Lubi installation to a standard Ubuntu system by transferring all data, settings, and applications from the original install to a dedicated partition. [01:25] chuckm1: oh right that uhmm [01:25] is there a whatprovides comand? I want to see where i am meant to find the file /etc/gdm/custom.conf [01:25] Hello [01:25] chuckm1: I had been told that some how it could be done, convert a Wubi install to real partitions [01:25] soreau, i wish it was that easy i have a widescreen laptop monitor and that resolution does show up [01:25] LOPA: You may need to use xrandr to add the resolution you want if it is not detected [01:25] chuckm1: got a link? [01:25] i tried that [01:26] VCoolio, I just tried adding the trash app, and got an error. ZykoticK9, thanks [01:26] http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html [01:26] Hello, whenever I try to install at the end of my installation it says, Permission denied and makes me close out of the installation, whats going on here? [01:26] soreau and it gives error [01:26] LOPA: Pastebin the command you ran and the error it gave you [01:26] chuckm1: I was thinking make sure whatever it is is from a trusted source, well sourceforge is :) [01:26] anybody help me!!! [01:26] i have two identical folders and now one of them has 9 more files in it... how can i check what files are those? there are sub dirs also [01:26] ! anybody | kacangitem [01:26] kacangitem: 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? [01:26] Hi. I have the following problem in a clean 9.10 install. After a few days of use (and w/o hs or software changes on my part), no user can login with the 'GNOME' session,. user/password gets accepted. The screen flashes once, the throbber/load screen is shown and then the users are thrown back to the gdm login screen. the 'safe mode GNOME' session works. So far I've tried the following: Deactivated the nvidia closed driver [01:26] i forgot, how do i kick off my nick that is still lingering from another connect? i thought it was ghost someting... [01:27] hi guys, i am trying to run a command in terminal but it tells me that i dont have permission to do so, how can i take permission? [01:27] arghh2d2_: /ghost [01:27] slevin: sudo [01:27] @slevin you must enter root mode first [01:27] sudo su [01:27] slevin: Prefix the command with sudo [01:27] kacangitem: That is bad advice [01:27] soreau it says /ghost command not found [01:28] how to auto mount device in thunar [01:28] arghh2d2_: Ask in #freenode [01:28] ? [01:28] Taim> and others thanks a lot, so if i am in /var/bin and i want to run this command: ./run_debug, what shall i start with? [01:28] but the probem persist, so it seems this is a ubuntu/gnome software problem. Two additional hints I discovered today: If I go back to use the nvidia aceel drivers I can't enable the desktop effects at all, not even the simpler ones [01:28] sebsebseb: I guess you're saying I should move my install to a separate partition then clean install 9.10 or 9.04? [01:28] slevin: sudo ./run_debug [01:28] slevin: sudo /var/bin/run_debug [01:29] join #gnome-do [01:29] chuckm1: before I was saying to just get hold of data, and get rid of your Wubi install [01:29] and the other thing I discovered is that is I stop gdm and startx X with startx all works wonderfully. I can even activate the destop effects [01:29] chuckm1: however I just had a look at the link you gave and lubi [01:29] chuckm1: ok looks good [01:29] chuckm1: it's 9.04 Wubi install? [01:29] cramm_: If that is the case, you did not deactivate the nvidia driver [01:29] Tiam, soreau and kacangitem thanks a lot guys :) [01:30] so the problem seems to be the GNOME session when launched through gdm. [01:30] soreau, I deactivated, worked with the system a couple of days using the nv driver and activated again [01:30] sebsebseb: yep. originally 9.04 wubi. recently "upgraded" to 9.10. [01:30] just can't see the blank dvd in the drive [01:30] when I delete items from a 2ndary harddisk, do these items go in the trash on my primary hard disk? [01:30] soreau, because it is clear it isn't a nvidia driver problem [01:30] chuckm1: thanks for the link by the way, that will be a useful link for me to give to other people that I will be helping in the future in here [01:31] chuckm1: the file system for Wubi is Ext2? [01:31] Hello, for some reason when I press a key, my mouse lags, and then "jumps" to where it should be. This causes me to be unable to play all games, even native. Any solutions? [01:31] I have an apple keyboard/hub, but I have this problem even when the mouse is not plugged in through it. [01:31] cd work but dvds don't [01:31] cramm_: If you try with a live cd and it works ok, it is likely a problem with your install. Is this an upgrade or clean install? [01:31] sebsebseb: not sure. How do I check? [01:31] soreau, I eman the problem is exactly the same irrspective of which driver I use. and that's why I think it's a ubuntu/gnome software problem [01:31] soreau, http://pastebin.com/mf4aff6a [01:31] soreau: clean install [01:31] hay everywone, i have a problem. i cant unmount my harddisk except with root account. any solution? [01:31] chuckm1: diskfree or something, k disk free or something, search synaptic for disk free. or maybe the software centre. or you could install gparted and have a look in tehre [01:32] chuckm1: well wubi is a bit different when it comes to partitining [01:32] LOPA: Ok, something is wrong with your drivers. Pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log file [01:32] soreau: Thnaks for the hint. will try that [01:32] chuckm1: nevermind [01:32] how to connect virtual box guest and host network????? [01:33] what is the ideal size for a karmic install if i plan on using a seperate partition for /home? [01:33] soreau, is there i command i can use to pastebin that from the command line? [01:33] chuckm1: it seems when you do lvpm you choose the file system you want to make for Ubuntu [01:33] LOPA: Yes. Install curl and standby [01:33] chuckm1: you want Ext4 for 9.10 [01:33] hay everywone, i have a problem. i cant unmount my harddisk except with root account. any solution? [01:33] how to connect virtual box guest and host network????? i'm using virtual box 3 [01:33] TheCheeze: 10 or 12 GB for / that's good [01:34] when I delete items from a 2ndary harddisk, do these items go in the trash on my primary hard disk? [01:34] TheCheeze: big seperate /home and some swap space [01:34] sebsebseb: ok. I guess I've got a lot of work ahead of me. [01:34] i have two identical folders and now one of them has 9 more files in it... how can i check what files are those? there are sub dirs also [01:34] chuckm1: looks easy on the webpge [01:34] webpage [01:34] LOPA: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us [01:34] sebsebsebthis is my first time trying this, so i am a little timid lol [01:34] had a catastrophic crash earlier and figure i'll just do a full install [01:35] eh [01:35] soreau, i dont see standby in packages [01:35] LOPA: -_- I meant stand by as in wait for the command [01:35] i have two identical folders and now one of them has 9 more files in it... how can i check what files are those? there are sub dirs also. [01:36] hay everywone, i have a problem. i cant unmount my harddisk except with root account. any solution?---->answer this plz [01:36] soreau, got it.... [01:36] chuckm1: by the way [01:36] chuckm1: set up a seperate /home when doing it [01:36] chuckm1: that will make things easier if you want to re install in the long run or even distro hop [01:36] sebsebseb are you talking to chuckm1 or me lol [01:37] ! pm | kacangitem [01:37] kacangitem: 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. [01:37] TheCheeze: to him just then, I already answered you [01:37] how to connect virtual box guest and host network????? [01:37] sebsebseb gotcha. was wondering because i am trying to do the same thing :) [01:38] soreau, http://pastebin.com/f442220b5 [01:38] TheCheeze: sure, but chuckm1 is doing something a bit differnet [01:38] sebsebseb: ah.. I'm a noob. thanks for the help! [01:38] TheCheeze: well is going to try and do I should say [01:38] chuckm1: no offence or anything, but that makes sense, since you did Wubi [01:38] yo what up kiid [01:38] sebsebseb gotcha. is there anything special i should know about attempting to create a seperate /home partition? [01:38] sebsebseb: Don't I know it! [01:39] is formatting good? [01:39] quit [01:39] chuckm1: so someone said that it's better to do real partitions or? and told you about the program you linked me to? :) [01:39] TheCheeze: well yeah [01:39] alright, I've just added a new disk to an ubuntu machine on vmware, anyone know how I go about finding it? [01:39] I remember there was like a rescan command [01:40] mount it? [01:40] TheCheeze: you can make in gparted and then finnish off in manual install. or just do it all in manual install. where you also need to tell it what to use each parttion as. file system and what to use it as [01:40] I need it to show in /dev/sdb === AndorinKato is now known as Andorin [01:41] hallo.....do you want to answer my question plz [01:41] LOPA: I suggest you try UXA rendering method [01:41] hallo...... [01:41] soreau, what is that [01:41] lazy_man: someone else had something similar earlier I think [01:42] LOPA: UXA is an acceleration method exclusively for intel graphics drivers. To use it, add the following line to the Device section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file: Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" [01:42] hello [01:42] do u know the solution? [01:42] sebsebseb i just know i am going to mess this up... === quero_sis671_3D is now known as levy [01:42] TheCheeze: I can guide you no problem [01:43] when I put my computer into sleep mode, everything goes well until I wake my computer up. The computer seems to wake up fine but the monitor doesn't turn on and the orange light doesn't go back to green on my monitor's power button. [01:43] I've got a question: If my laptop (ubuntu) is left on long enough, the screen turns off and the power button flashes (does this mean kernel panic?) and won't revive. But the strange thing is, the laptop will turn on, but it won't load BIOS. I finally figured out you have to take the battery out and hold the power button for 20s. Then it works. What causes that problem? [01:43] Hi guys, I' ve got a little question. I've made a vpn connection to my univ network, and I need to have a vnc/remote desktop view, the machines on which I've access have no vnc server installed, they just have a clean Ubuntu install with some softwares I use. Is there a clean way? [01:43] lazy_man: I think the issue might even be mentioned in the release notes or something similar [01:43] !notes | lazy_man [01:43] lazy_man: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [01:43] lazy_man: find out about permissions some stuff is owned by root, and then sometimes you need to change that [01:44] Is there any way to enable encryption of ~ after I've already installed Karmic? [01:44] !permissions | lazy_man [01:44] lazy_man: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [01:44] soreau, ok i added it [01:44] but i am still using 9.04...... [01:44] lazy_man: oh [01:44] lazy_man: ok permissions then [01:44] LOPA: Restart X by logging out [01:44] ok logging out [01:44] Veinor: no don't think so [01:45] ah :( [01:45] oh well, this is a fresh install anyway [01:45] ok, i have another problem....btw, my harddisk cannot be read on vista after leaving ubuntu...but it can be read on xp....do you know the solution? [01:45] soreau, ok logged back in [01:45] Veinor: be careful with that [01:45] also, does the CPU usage required to encrypt/decrypt ~ significantly impact performance on, say, a netbook? [01:45] Veinor: something could happen maybe in the future, and then you can't access your data [01:45] sebsebseb: ? === sebi` is now known as stuhlbein [01:46] sebsebseb i am in gparted right now. first step is to blank out the entire disk into a raw partition, correct? [01:46] what do you mean? [01:46] Veinor: if needing to re install Ubuntu or something [01:46] when I put my computer into sleep mode, everything goes well until I wake my computer up. The computer seems to wake up fine but the monitor doesn't turn on and the orange light doesn't go back to green on my monitor's power button. [01:46] I back up all my important data on dropbox [01:46] Veinor: there was this guy who something happended and he coudn't get into his encrypted partition [01:46] Veinor: what's that? [01:47] you have a ~/Dropbox; everything you put in there is replicated across all computers you have dropbox installed on [01:47] TheCheeze: hang on [01:47] as well as dropbox's central servers, so you can access it over the net [01:47] How do you I install other distros with wubi [01:47] sebsebseb, Dropbox is like UbuntuOne [01:47] jordy240: is your swap partition at least twice as big as the amount of ram you have? [01:48] TheCheeze: Ubuntu only or dual boot with Windows or what? [01:48] karmic only [01:48] arghh2d2: I don't think so. I'll make it bigger. is 5GB's to big? === PhantomLink is now known as ^Phantom^ [01:48] TheCheeze: ok and your on the Live CD? [01:48] soreau, what should i do now? [01:48] How do you I install other distros with wubi === ^Phantom^ is now known as PhantomLink [01:48] sebsebseb indeed [01:48] Blizzerand_: You don't [01:48] LOPA: Can you show me the output of grep -i dri2 /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:49] Blizzerand_: You can't even [01:49] sebsebseb am in chat on a completely different machine, so we are good to go on that [01:49] sebsebseb : But it says so here --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide --> in the How do I install multiple distros? section [01:49] TheCheeze: uhmm? [01:49] jordy240: it should be twice the size of your ram to do the sleep and hibernate functions correctly so 2.5 gigs of ram would require a 5 gig swap i guess [01:49] is there a good command line utility for tagging ogg vorbis? [01:49] Blizzerand_: ok well I haven't seen that, also it's better to use real partitions in the long run [01:49] sebsebseb what i mean is we dont have to worry about me leaving ehre for reboots and such [01:50] sebsebseb : I just want to know whether its possible [01:50] TheCheeze: the only re boot will be when Ubuntu has finnisehd installing [01:50] soreau, http://pastebin.com/m7f914754 [01:50] sebsebseb good to know [01:50] sebsebseb forgot that part [01:50] TheCheeze: and then another re boot, once you got the security updates [01:51] TheCheeze: since it will have installed a new kernel, only re boots when major stuff such as a new kernel has been installed [01:51] LOPA: Ok, good now pastebin the output of xrandr [01:52] arghh2d2: thank you! also, how can I find out what partition linux is installed on? [01:52] TheCheeze: ok so gparted yeah first and finnish off in manual install, or just do it in manual install [01:52] TheCheeze: How much RAM do you have also? [01:52] soreau, http://pastebin.com/m2e06feb4 [01:52] sebsebseb: how can you find how much ram you have w/o opening the puter? [01:52] jordy240: df -h [01:52] thanks [01:52] sebsebseb yeah... this is my 2nd try with karmic. the first was a jaunty upgrade that was going well until it threw fits at me today after a daily update [01:52] LOPA: Cool, now we are getting somewhere [01:53] LOPA: Stand by,I will brb [01:53] TheCheeze: oh right well Karmic isn't that great really compared to jauntey, unless people need it to fix some hardware issue for example something that woudn't work for them in jauntey [01:53] soreau, cool [01:53] arghh2d2: thank you! and how can I find out how much ram I have? [01:53] hey people. i have a question about using qt [01:53] jordy240: uhmmm, htop is one way [01:54] or top, but it lists ram in kilobytes [01:54] TheCheeze: still got your ISO by the way, oh it's probably ag ood download, but it's good practice to test the download anyway, to make sure it's good [01:54] anybody know how to use text from a QString in a regular char or const char? [01:54] thanks arghh2d2 !!! [01:54] giantpune: QT hmm that's what KDE uses, where as Gnome/Ubuntu uses GTK, try #kubuntu [01:54] i already did a verify and hash check on the iso ;) [01:54] does anybody here understand low level computer things? [01:54] k thanks [01:55] Anybody else have busted sound controls in Karmic? [01:55] Hi, I can't print. Printer is an old HP postscript laser, connected to a mac os x machine acting as printserver. Any takers? [01:55] I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem that breaks my laptop: it won't boot BIOS [01:55] giantpune: np [01:56] Snausages: Karmic gave me some printing problems too. HP lj2430 I think [01:56] phixxor: try ##hardware [01:56] sebsebseb: I thought since Ubuntu causes the problem, I should ask here [01:56] LOPA: Now what resolution did you want to use? [01:56] mdaum: I get error writing spool: NT_status_file_lock_conflict [01:57] 1440x900 [01:57] phixxor: OS's don't cause BIOS issues usaulley [01:57] phixxor: pre-post?

[01:57] if I happen to live at an us.archive.ubuntu.com mirror, can I just replace all references to that url in sources.list with mirrors.mit.edu with no ill effects? [01:57] centHOGG: yes. It turns on but doesn't do anything beyond that [01:57] centHOGG: no bios or anything [01:57] TheCheeze: ok [01:57] snausages: test pages still print, some pdfs too. But not most.

[02:01] soreau, http://pastebin.com/m9ea7ef7 [02:02] darkham: try #kubuntu since amarok is a KDE app [02:02] centHOGG: the only thing is Ubuntu causes it when it tries to suspend. The screen turns off and the power button flashes (does this mean kernel panic?) It won't revive, and I have to hold the power button down to turn it off. That's when the boot problem started. I can boot again by taking the battery out and pressing the power button for 20s. But every time I leave ubuntu on, the same thing...

[02:06] LOPA: The point of interest there is the Mode line and the context is only to demonstrate to you where to put it in your X conf file [02:06] arghh2d2: alright I'll check. centHOGG: it looks like there is no cmos section in my boot settings :P [02:06] anyone know about .swf files? i'm only getting audio here and there should be a video component [02:06] sekyourbox: ok with 8.04 you got the add/remove which is ok, with 9.10 you got the software centre was has replacd it and is quite a lot better. with both you have synaptic. you can find your touch typing programs in these [02:06] sekyourbox: Tuxtype and such [02:06] seb³: I didn't know that. I'd like to take a stab at it. [02:07] I have downloaded files from my web hosting server where some files are set to 777, and i downloaded them to my ubuntu system.. then after editing the files i reuploaded them back to the hosting servser and the file permissions where lost can any one tell me why that is? [02:07] wonder if mario teaches typing will work with wine [02:07] Hi can someone help with a SSH thing [02:07] Firefishe: yeah got to use a Windows browser as well or something, I remember reading something in the past [02:07] !someone | giancast [02:07] giancast: 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? [02:08] giancast, what is your problem? [02:08] PaperBoy: when you downloaded em they became you downloading user's files [02:08] soreau, so could i just put this into my xorg? [02:08] !expert | sebsebseb [02:08] sebsebseb: one persons expectation of expert is different to that of another, why not ask the question with lots of useful information on one line and see what happens [02:08] can someone please help me [02:08] livingdaylight: hmm? [02:08] livingdaylight: you require an environment that will play shockwave videos. you might try a converter. [02:08] what is your problem? [02:08] at last [02:08] LOPA: If you are not sure, pastebin your xorg.conf and I will pastebin back the modified version for you [02:08] PaperBoy: you can copy some of roots files, your copy is yours roots copy stays roots [02:09] i am trying to shrink my ubuntu partition but gparted said something about there not being a supported superblock or something. can someone please help? [02:09] TheCheeze: still here? [02:09] Firefishe, great... do you know any that convert .swf files to .avi or something, i can only think of audio converters [02:09] soreau, http://pastebin.com/f3f6aeb83 [02:09] jordy240: ever shrunk one before? [02:09] livingdaylight: so expert was some sort of sarcasm that I didn't pick up on or something? [02:10] jordy240: you cant shrink a mounted partition. meaning: you cant shrnk the partition your logged in on right now...use a livecd === argonaut is now known as argonaut|afk [02:10] sebsebseb having a minor complication... gimme a sec [02:10] sebsebseb, please keep it ubuntu related [02:10] arghh2d2: I know. I have gparted on a live cd that I was just using [02:10] centHOGG: yes [02:10] ok [02:11] jordy240: ok what is the filesystem type [02:11] centHOGG: whatever ubuntu puts on my hard drive [02:11] ext3? [02:11] i guess [02:11] anyone [02:12] jordy240: yeah [02:12] nvm [02:12] livingdaylight: Not immediately coming to mind. However, I'd be delighted to help with a little research foe you. Are you going to be around for a while tonight? [02:12] ok well I tried to shrink it from a live cd and gparted said that there was an unsupported suoerblock or something centHOGG [02:12] jordy240: i've never had any luck with ext3... but no problems with reiserfs [02:12] centHOGG: what do you mean? [02:12] what can I do> [02:12] jordy240: ever tried acronis [02:12] foe=for [02:13] centHOGG: I don't know what that is. [02:13] LOPA: http://pastebin.com/m4f7a79ac [02:13] sebsebseb it keeps hanging after selecting time zone [02:13] Firefishe, no, i won't, its late here... so, I'll google it and see what i come up with [02:13] jordy240: a partition resizer [02:13] TheCheeze: oh [02:13] centHOGG: I have a question for you: how can I move empty space from under my ntfs partition to OVER my ntfs partition so I can grow my swap [02:13] TheCheeze: re boot the CD and try again [02:13] TheCheeze: in fact [02:13] can someone please assist? i just installed Karmic and my monitor is not detected. my highest resolution is 800x600. [02:13] TheCheeze: you can check your disk [02:14] livingdaylight: k .. good luck :) [02:14] TheCheeze: there's an option for that on the boot up screen [02:14] soreau, just log out and in again after saving? [02:14] jordy240: yes it's possible to do that in acronis.... ext3 is a pain see [02:14] ntfs ok, reiserfs ok [02:15] centHOGG: well I have no more black cd's. is aconis free and work on ubuntu? [02:15] Is there any major reason to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10? [02:15] jordy240: unfortunately no... it's commercial. but its great to have [02:15] jordy240: uhmm you can resize partitions with gparted [02:16] cannot seem to see any link to actually download this package [02:16] https://launchpad.net/cerva [02:16] jordy240: oh yeah, but you got an error hmm [02:16] sebsebseb: I can't. gparted says that I can't touch my ubuntu partition because of something about a superblock [02:16] when 9.04 is stable and the hardware on the laptop works nicely with 9.04? [02:16] Firefishe: I saw that handbrake isn't working with the latest [02:16] jordy240: it's Ext4? [02:16] jordy240: and your on 9.10? [02:16] sebsebseb: the alternative would be to move free space from under my ntfs partition to OVER my ntfs partition [02:17] sebsebseb checking for defects now [02:17] centHOGG: What is handbrake? [02:17] sebsebseb: I'm on the latest release... I don't know what ext it is. whatever the defualt is [02:17] could be wrong [02:17] LOPA: Yes, anytime you make changes to your xorg.conf you will want to restart X for the changes to take effects [02:17] TheCheeze: ok [02:17] lemme see [02:17] !handbrake [02:17] handbrake is a an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. - http://handbrake.fr [02:17] jony123: ok the default is Ext4, there were some issues with resizing that in the past I think, maybe there still are [02:17] I have a 32bit app runnning in 64bit when it calls certain libs it looks at the 64bit ones... how can I tell the app to look at the 32bit ones? [02:17] jony123: check out the 9.10 release notes might have something relivant [02:17] !notes | jony123 [02:17] jony123: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [02:18] centHOGG, Firefishe FYI Handbrake does NOT work in Ubuntu currently [02:18] well, I don't use it, sooo ;) [02:18] tx Zv [02:18] jordy240: if you have to redo that system... next time use reiserfs for the filesystem, because you can adjust it much easier [02:18] ZykoticK9: yeah drag [02:18] jordy240: don't use reiserfs well you could, but uhmm [02:18] bbl [02:18] centHOGG: i have to reinstall ubutu? [02:19] arghh2d2: my computer already has 1gb of swap, and 512 mb ram max (its actually less because of onboard vga) [02:19] idunno [02:19] centHOGG: I think that's a bit bad of you to recommend reisferfs to not that experienced Ubuntu users === argonaut|afk is now known as argonaut [02:19] O.k. i just logged out and did not see the option to adjust my monitor resolution. im still at 800x600 === VanDyke_ is now known as VanDyke [02:19] how do I install this https://launchpad.net/cerva [02:19] soreau, could not parse xorg [02:19] sebsebseb: why? reiserfs is good for normal use [02:19] LOPA: Well either you made a mistake or I did [02:19] sebsebseb: this is all because suspend mode doesn't work.. (it doesn't resume) [02:20] sebsebseb, yea nothing wrong with reiser [02:20] phixxor: you probly need at least 1024 mb of swap then [02:20] soreau, i copied and pasted logged out [02:20] heeeello [02:20] soreau, i will pastebin it [02:20] I've got some issues getting an Ericsson F3507G connected to my 3G provider, and I was wondering if anyone might be able to help? [02:20] hmm centHOGG left [02:20] arghh2d2: I have 1 gb = 1024mb [02:20] !reiserfs | phixxor usser [02:20] phixxor usser: reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html [02:20] jordy240: should have done that to you as well, see above [02:21] sebsebseb: hmm, looks like this is a new development. But if ubottu says it, it must be so [02:21] Does anyone here have experience with setting up wake-on-lan for an Ubuntu (9.10) system? [02:21] sebsebseb: well I;m on ext4 so it's too late anyway. what can I do to extend my swap??? [02:21] soreau, http://pastebin.com/m4f7a79ac [02:21] sebsebseb, hm dont know about latency, i used it for quite a while for gaming too [02:21] Is there anyone who can assist with monitor not detected issue in Karmic? [02:21] phixxor: thats just for hibernating power saving crap that i never use cuz i dont have a laptop. it could be your vido ram causing a problem then. [02:21] phixxor: by the looks of it that factoid is a bit old, since Ext4 is default in 9.10. ,but the rest of what it is saying is probably true enough [02:22] arghh2d2: yeah -- I think it's crappy apic [02:22] sebsebseb [02:22] im trying to instal xmobar, anybody know the package name? [02:22] Specifically, I keep getting a LCP TermReq after I authenticate. [02:22] jordy240: what? [02:22] New Q: is it possible to replace the new ubuntu startup tune with the older short drum beat? [02:22] sebsebseb finished with no errors [02:22] sebsebseb: meh, I chose reiserfs cause I heard it was faster, but that was back in warty dapper drake days [02:22] usser: the default file system tends to work well enough for most Ubuntu users [02:22] please help me. it's so anoying how ubuntu ships with a partition that can't be touched and a broken suspend/hybernate mode. please how can I extend my swap partition? [02:23] sebsebseb, yea thats true [02:23] sebsebseb: ^ [02:23] sebsebseb, like that whole ext4 losing data debacle :P [02:23] LOPA: Looks fine to me.. unless you got some hidden characters in there through copy/pasting from pastebin but I don't really see how that could happen [02:23] phixxor: well I have read online that XFS is fast and that it basically has the Ext4 advantages, and well XFS has been around for quite a while unlike Ext4 [02:23] jordy240: what have you tried so far? [02:23] usser: well with 9.04 for some and since they didn't have a proper kernel and that for Ext4 [02:24] jordy240: Ext4 can be resized [02:24] sebsebseb, don't worry i figured it out [02:24] jordy240: some how [02:24] Sigh. The *really* annoying bit is that this card is supposedly fully-supported in NM 0.7, and it doesn't work there either! [02:24] soreau, dont see any characters [02:24] phixxor: I tried shrinking ext4 to make space for swap, but I can't touch the ext4 partition, and I tried shrinking the ntfs partition, and that works(of course) but the free space is on the wrong side of the windows parition. can you please help me? [02:24] livingdaylight: whatever you were being stupid with me [02:24] LOPA: It should not be failing to parse that [02:25] !you | sebsebseb [02:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about you [02:25] LOPA: Unless it plain does not like the Mode line altogether and spits back at you [02:25] jordy240 you have to do it from a live environment [02:25] is there another modeline we can try [02:25] TheCheeze: ...... i know. I have been [02:25] TheCheeze: Ubuntu partitions have to be resized from for example the Live CD yes [02:26] TheCheeze: not just Ubuntu, but other distros as well [02:26] jordy240 just wanted to make sure [02:26] LOPA: Try commenting out that Mode line by putting a # at the beginning of the line and see if that is the problem [02:26] this is so anoying [02:26] TheCheeze: well / or /home I should say [02:26] this is exactly why linux will never be on the casual users desktop [02:26] TheCheeze: if you had some other data partition as well, you could unmount it and resize [02:26] jordy240: uhmm 9.10 [02:26] jordy240, you sound pretty laid back [02:27] sebsebseb ok, got past the timezone this time [02:27] gl [02:27] jordy240: 9.10 has issues here and there yes, overall 9.04 is the better release really [02:27] jordy240, yeah sorry about that [02:27] jordy240: except for some people, because they have for example an Intel graphics card that gave issues in 9.04, but works nicely in 9.10 [02:27] 9.10 beta works better for me than Jaunty did :p [02:27] Can't run official though [02:27] Canonical could learn something about reliability from Debian... [02:28] right but suspend mode doesn't even work... [02:28] Has anyone used the webcam in the Dell SX2210 monitor with Ubuntu? [02:28] sebsebseb clicked manual partitioning [02:28] is it safe to install IW and ATHEROS?? [02:28] jordy240: chu_ argosy uhmm these non LTS versions are kind of test releases, they experiment a bit, put in new features, it's the LTS Long Term Support releases that have to be rather good and stable and all that, those are the kind of business releases [02:29] Intel gma500 [02:29] sebsebseb, thanks if you are still there [02:29] sekyourbox: yes I am [02:29] sebsebseb: I just wish Canonical would be a little more forward about that. [02:29] well thanks anyway for the help sebsebseb [02:29] why doesn't ubuntu support this? [02:29] guess i;ll have to go back to windows.. [02:29] Hello [02:29] black man here [02:29] sekyourbox: installed some typing software for Linux? [02:29] I require assistance with ubuntu [02:29] soreau, it worked commenting it out [02:29] can anyone help me use ubuntu [02:30] argosy: you mean more clear to users? [02:30] how so black man [02:30] sebsebseb: Yep. [02:30] ok [02:30] What's a good text editor for xubuntu besides geany? [02:30] i am trying to install irssi [02:30] on ubuntu [02:30] LOPA: Since Jaunty's release, there have been a significant number of changes to the intel driver. So as a last resort I would have to recommend trying a Karmic live cd to see if things work better for you resolution wise [02:30] sebsebseb, yea I lke tux he is cooler than mario. I just wish he would jump around more [02:30] but i keep getting an ORT-8a subset error [02:30] argosy: same here, but also about the md5sum or sha1sum, how users should do that before burning the contents of the ISO to CD [02:30] i need help to play embedded video like these http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/switch_exchange.html .. i can right click and play from youtube just fine [02:30] sekyourbox: Do you know who Tux is by the way? [02:30] soreau, what is karmic live cd? [02:30] ! karmic | LOPA [02:30] LOPA: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [02:31] karmic worked terribly on my system [02:31] hi [02:31] sebsebseb, tux the friendly panguine (however you spellit) [02:31] craigbass1976: don like the default mousepad? [02:31] linux mascot [02:31] soreau, i had the same thing with 9.10 [02:31] sekyourbox: yes [02:31] the Linux Mascot [02:31] linus was a panguine [02:31] !tux [02:31] tux is the Linux Mascot - http://www.isc.tamu.edu/~lewing/linux/ [02:31] thought there would be a factoid :) [02:31] LOPA: Well we didn't try adding the modeline with xrandr manually :) [02:31] LOPA: (on karmic) [02:31] freevryheid, no, I like geany, but I need a second one. Something like it, or notepad ++ for windows [02:31] karmic koala netbook remix rocks ! [02:32] soreau, i did [02:32] soreau, got the same erro [02:32] my first time seeing tux was on a white box in my sixth grade class.. In this box, contained linux [02:32] soreau, do u think it pays to try adding 1280 768 and see if that works? [02:32] sekyourbox: oh? [02:33] craigbass1976: gedit [02:33] LOPA: Not necessarily.. [02:33] TheCheeze: ok [02:33] TheCheeze: got to manual install yet? [02:33] I think it was redhat [02:33] soreau, doh [02:33] LOPA: But I still recommend upgrading to karmic if there is no other reason for you not to [02:33] soreau, [02:33] back when redhat was cool [02:33] ok i will do that [02:33] soreau, are u here often that if i do it tonight i can find u tommorow? [02:33] freevryheid, am I going to end up with half of gnome by installing that, or does the g stand for gpl [02:33] craigbass1976: c++? [02:33] LOPA: uhmm upgrading if you do an upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 expect to maybe get issues [02:34] although when i use redhat i never use RPMs [02:34] the netbooks will not be fully supported until lucid [02:34] hello, I've got /mnt on a separate partition and had to add .Trash-1000 to it to allow a trash can, but it doesn't show up in nautilus's trash:///, any way to include it? [02:34] sebsebseb yes sir [02:34] sebsebseb, i will do a fresh install [02:34] LOPA: I should be logged in at least but may not be at my desk all the time. Just pm me [02:34] LOPA: good [02:34] where do I find a list of applications when choosing the "open with" menu and selecting "other..."... It seems to just open a nautilus file browser and I'm not sure where to look [02:34] bin?

When it was done upgrading I opened up synaptic package manager, and started checking off things I'd like to install (g++, cvs, svn, eclipse) - and every single time - around the 4th or 5th thing I'd check off, synaptic would just disapear. I guess it was crashing -but I didn't get an error or anything, it just suddenly vanished. I would o [02:36] can anyone tell me how to get there when trying use the "other..." application menu [02:36] sebsebseb afk a slight moment putting a baby to bed [02:36] has anyone else seen this behavior? (9.10 is the first time i"m seeing it) [02:36] TheCheeze: oh right ok [02:37] no one? [02:38] sebsebseb should i format into a raw partition first? [02:38] TheCheeze: the hard disk is blank? [02:38] hello [02:38] i want to forward all port 80/443 traffic from my home router to my external server which uses proxy....so how to do that with iptables ? [02:39] TheCheeze: make a / partition 10GB or so in size with the Ext4 file system. SWAP space uhmm 4GB in size I think since you got 2GB RAM. and the rest of the hard disk will be your /home also Ext4 [02:39] sebsebseb no, it is currently filled with a failed karmic [02:39] TheCheeze: ok you can delete the failed partitions [02:39] possible synaptic issue: I upgraded a development box for my computer science club today, bringing it from 9.04 to 9.10.

[02:49] I'l log in and about 4 out of 5 times it will try to log-in and just go back to the log in screen [02:50] sometimes the screen will show a jarbled mess. [02:50] but when it works it works [02:50] I've tried different window managers, same thing [02:50] brainy142: did you upgrade or clean install? [02:51] roger__: how did you make the link the first time around? [02:51] I tried an upgrade, I cancled it and ubuntu messed up, so I did a clean [02:51] Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down... [02:51] fluid, did anyone answer you? [02:51] brainy142: hmmm [02:51] the thing is it works sometimes [02:52] no [02:52] jonznj: no sorry [02:52] roger__: you probly need to mount the windows partition at boot time by editing /etc/fstab [02:52] jonznj, i went to the folder inside the harddrive and Make Link, then i put that link on ubuntu desktop [02:52] roger__: sounds like your mounting it from the menu, then the link works [02:53] arghh2d2, yes how do i this [02:53] TheCheeze: maybe we should have finnished the partition stuff here, so someone else could maybe learn from it [02:53] fluid: are you sitting behind your own router? or is this someone else's? [02:53] mount the partitiion [02:53] !fstab [02:53] id really like to run synchronet as a non-root user... but when i do noone can connect to it from outside of my network. im behind my own router, this machine is DMZ to the world. [02:53] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [02:53] hi all. Is anyone on that can give me some upgrade advice? I am upgrading from Dapper LTS to Hardy LTS. The installer appears to have hung close to the end of "installing the upgrades" step. The problem appears to be related to my openldap install. My question is what to do now? [02:53] i am looking for a g++ compiler in ubuntu which I has the function of line by line debugging [02:53] if i bump the ports up to anything above 1000 it works fine [02:53] !fstab | roger__ [02:53] roger__: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [02:53] im pretty sure that port 22 is open [02:54] which is sshd [02:54] but synchronet waiting on port 23 does not see incoming cnnections :( [02:54] Hmm I just got a random pop-up saying my system will shutdown in 60 seconds. I hit cancel. What can cause this? This has happened several times lately. [02:55] are port23 connections forwarded properly to this dmz? [02:55] brainy142: could be a gdm problem... what are your error messages like? [02:55] fluid: *from the router's config, is what I"m refereing to ^ [02:55] every incoming connection is set to hit this machine directly. doesnt matter what port it is. [02:55] Dink: firefox popup? [02:55] I dont get an error message [02:56] brainy142: what about the jarbled stuff when it blanks out? anything legible? [02:56] arghh2d2: i think hes referring to the gnome system shutdown warning [02:56] arghh2d2: It just seems to... reboot x? [02:56] fluid: I ask because ports are usually blocked by default. are you sure there's nothing else listening to that port (on your box) as well? [02:56] arghh2d2, no it kinda looks like when you hit the restart/logout/hibernate but had more options [02:56] just the ubuntu logo in weird tessalatd boxwa [02:56] jonznj: nothing at all. i can connect to it locally using localhost:23 [02:56] no terminal [02:57] i can connect to it from another machine on the lan... [02:57] thats what got me thinking firewall [02:57] but if the router has this system listed under its DMZ setting, it should be forwarding anything incoming to this machine. [02:57] arghh2d2: It never happened in 9.04 [02:58] fluid: yeah, all out of ideas :( sorry - thought it might be something simple. you could try connecting maybe another machine infront of the firewall, and see if it has trouble [02:58] brainy142: i dont know, did it happen right after you installed 9.10 or a little later? [02:58] know what, next time my friend is on to test it out... ill just plug my machine directly into the cable modem and bypass my firewall completely. bet it will work. [02:58] fluid: right, just what I meant [02:58] arghh2d2: right after it was installed [02:58] gotta go, good luck :) [02:58] is gonna be this stupid linksys garbage router. lol [02:59] brainy142: what other window managers have you tried?

[03:52] How do I mount a flash drive on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS [03:52] wip: oh never mind that, i misunderstood your question. [03:52] emma: yep, but i am looking for a transparent solution [03:52] Mike_lifeguard:THANKS [03:52] The drive has the 8.04 LTS Install ISO extracted to it, so would that prevent it from auto-mounting? [03:52] you want to draw on the screen while recording it. [03:53] emma: exactly [03:53] if anyone was to think of an icon that would represent an Op or a Voice, what would it be? ( besides an @ or a + ) [03:53] akav: what bondy said. What I think he means is fix whatever file(s) you're trying to configure at the moment (if any), and then try to learn vim. I would say, just take it slow and learn a few basics (cursor movements, save a file, etc. ) That way, if you need to edit a file on another computer, you can do so . [03:53] emma: i am using gtk-recordmydesktop and want to draw stuff around the screen (circle items here and there) [03:53] tas: Typically, coloured circles are used, or the text sybols are given colours [03:53] tas: endless possibilities with unicode :) [03:53] ah, the vim advocates are coming out of the woodwork! ;-) [03:53] hello, goodnight [03:54] starhash, It's not just config. I'm doing Python coding for a big project. [03:54] wip: None of the screencasting software for linux is very good. Luckily there is a wide selection of shitty screencasting software, so you can try a bunch of packages before getting fed up with it all :) [03:54] vim ftw [03:54] lol jrib: I'm simply curious [03:54] lol jrib: graphical icon [03:54] akav: Oh, then I'd consider an IDE too, then [03:54] Im having problems making a folder writable. Specifically, I need PHP to create files and folders. Im getting permission denied. I have set the folder to 644. ANy other ideas? [03:54] I found my syslog :D [03:54] wip: Yeah I get what you want to do now. So I'm not sure. I think I might look into some of the compiz novelties. You can maybe circle stuff with fire or something. [03:54] Mike_lifeguard: i am using gtk-recordmydesktop for 2-3 years without problem, very stable, very clean [03:54] Where is the 'fstab'? [03:55] emma: will look, thx [03:55] Arsin : /etc/fstab [03:55] riiiiight [03:55] starhash: Thank you [03:55] starhash, Ah but isn't that the other end of the spectrum? And what IDE? [03:55] yeah thats what I meant starhash akav fix what you need to fix before getting bogged down with learnng something you dont need to learn to obtain your goals [03:55] starhash, I've been working in TextMate in Mac OS X. Trying to use gedit now. [03:55] wip: to find all those novelties and turn them on you might want this -- [03:56] akav: There are a huge bunch for Python. Most are pretty decent.

[03:57] not much of a python coder but hear Boa Constructur is good [03:57] starhash: What you are saying is interesting but not really on topic for a support channel. To find a channel related to ubuntu that is more appropriate for socializing, try /msg alis list *ubuntu [03:57] starhash: CamStudio is probably the best FLOSS package for Windows. [03:57] Adiooooooooos! pasenla bien :) [03:57] starhash: wink is more like screenshot, gtk-recordmydesktop is... well for example: http://www.vimeo.com/5120962 [03:58] emma: Sorry, I didn't mean to ask about Windows specifically, I just wanted to know if gtkrecordmydesktop is equivalent to wink (from someone who's used gtkrecordmydesktop, as wip said he has) [03:58] I'll give geany a shot.

Any configuration tips? [04:01] Oh someone else already said that :) [04:01] prappl93: try reading this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB [04:02] hm, I was just going to link that, nanotube :D [04:02] akav: set 4 spaces per indent. :) [04:02] Mike_lifeguard: :) [04:02] nanotube, the problem I am having is it will mount another USB drive but this one has an ISO written to it so I don't know if that prevents it from doing it or not [04:02] I'm having problem installing k9copy - tried the following remedies after Googling around, no dice ... [04:02] sudo apt-get -f install [04:02] 510 sudo apt-get update [04:02] HDD question, is it worth it to dive into hdparam to "fine tune" the disks in my server? [04:02] prappl93: No, you should be able to mount it as normal [04:03] sudo apt-get clean [04:03] 501 sudo apt-get -f install [04:03] when I do "sudo apt-get install k9copy" [04:03] Mike_lifeguard, if that were true, then wouldn't the system auto-mount it as it did the other flash drive?

I want to check with another more "tried, tested & true" utility. for ext4, should that be fsck or e2fsck, or are they they same?

[04:07] alazyworkaholic: use gparted [04:07] nanotube, Thanks for the help with the link. I think it is because of the ISO image. I am going to remove the files put on by the ISO and retry without the terminal commands. [04:07] Guest: what in particular do you want to change? [04:07] emma: The logon sound [04:07] Anyone ?

[04:08] nanotube, I'm thinking more of viewing the directory tree from svn -- looks like the File Browser plugin does that. [04:08] starhash: yes but I would like to alter specific settings [04:08] not general ones [04:08] starhash: and i've tried /etc/init.d/gdm restart as well [04:08] starhash: for instance, I would like to start with altering the sounds [04:08] Guest: how about try preferences-->sound-->sounds [04:09] akav: ah, yes, for the directory tree, the file browser plugin is it :) [04:09] nanotube, Also, I don't quite understand what the projects paradigm does. [04:09] emma: do you mean "sound effects" [04:09] emma: Because the only tab that relates to the given criteria is that one [04:09] Guest: no hold on i think things might have changed in the newer ubuntus, just a second. [04:09] nanotube, thanks! I already just deleted all the files on it. I meant to clean off the disk anyway. [04:10] Now, I thought this was 9.10 channel [04:10] akav: essentially, you add files to a project, then when you open a project, all the files in it will be open. that's all, nothing too fancy. [04:10] is it still 9.04? [04:10] i did an update and now cant boot into linux. its hangs at checking battery. and then basically freezes. this is 9.10 [04:10] prappl93: ok :) [04:10] you tried sudo apt-get install libxine1? [04:10] nanotube, So a project is just for session saving? [04:10] Guest: both [04:10] akav: yes, exactly. [04:10] oh [04:10] nanotube, it works now without me having to manually mount. I think it was because it was trying to read the ISO but it was set to be a bootable so it didn't know what to do. Not sure why it didn't work. [04:10] josh0x0: Hmm [04:10] hiya. i was just wondering how to get ibus on autostart? [04:11] should separate them... [04:11] ... [04:11] nanotube, OK cool, that's simple enough. This is looking liek it might be OK... I didn't want to go to something like Eclipse. It scares me. [04:11] nanotube, or not. Is there a way to auto mount this drive? [04:11] can someone take a look at this pastebin i am trtying to run raindrop but when i do i get a can someone take a look at this pastebin i am trtying to run raindrop but when i do i get a no [04:11] i have a ms vista host, and karmic installed as a guest, and Firefox is S-L-O-W...

[04:13] akav: yea, eclipse is a beast :) [04:13] nanotube, Right the compiler integration is not useful for Python in any IDE. [04:13] does anyone know how to change the logon sounds [04:13] and logoff sounds? [04:13] Guest: surprisingly there does not seem to be an easy way to do this in Karmic, according to this Ubuntu BrainStorm, the moderator suggests filing a bug over the inability to easily change login sound --- http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/22136/ [04:13] Anyone have any pointers to this issue ?

[04:15] akav: yea, i just use the stock geany, without any 'extras'. i didn't even have the files plugin enabled. ;) [04:15] astechgeek: yes it does... [04:15] anyone? there has to be a way to switch back to the regular ubuntu interface in netbook remix [04:15] Guest: here's how i suggest you try doing it. Open a terminal and: cd /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo [04:15] Has anybody ever experienced Flash/youtube videos working fine except that you are unable to press the giant play button in the middle? Any help would be greatly appreciated. [04:15] astechgeek: You could always try a different protocol to pinpoint the source of the dropping connections. [04:15] Sril have you tried sudo apt-get install kdebase-runtime and sudo apt-get libxinel1 failing that search synaptic for them and install :D [04:16] What is the "Reserved BIOS boot area" partition type during installation/partitioning? [04:16] Guest: in that directory you will find all the .ogg files that do the login and logout sounds. You should MAKE A BACK UP of what you replace, and then rename whatever .ogg sound file you WANT with the name of what is currently there. [04:16] I want to share my mobile broadband [04:16] Guest: if you are not comfortable with the command line you can probably get there and do that in nautilus (places). [04:16] Can you recommend some apps?

[04:17] excellent idea [04:17] thank you emma [04:17] hi, i want to have the scroll wheel function working on firefox(like when you press down on it and you move the mouse down itll scroll very fast) [04:17] sieken: system -> preferences -> sessions (if you want it to start when you log in) [04:17] how do i do?

[04:18] Guest: and make sure it is in that directory /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo [04:18] dandaman: could also do it through the gui - preferences -> advanced -> general -> autoscroll checkbox [04:19] Can't remember who suggested a few audio utilities, but I DL'd Audacity, and it does just whata I need it to do. THank :) [04:19] Guest: that I don't know. I doubt it. But I do think it needs to be short. [04:20] emma: on second thought, why does the sounds sometimes NOT play when I log in? [04:20] Guest: it might need to be in .ogg so that you can give it that name, it's possible that something is looking for the file with that exact name to run it at startup [04:20] Guest: no idea sorry :) [04:20] I need a good google search term, I need to bridge? two networks, I have one nic connected to a router connected to the internet for my wan, the routers ip is 192.168.1.1 and the second nic is connected to a second router to my private network on 192.168.100.1 [04:20] emma: oh [04:20] has anybody experienced not being able to click the giant play button in youtube videos in the middle of the video? [04:21] mrplow, search on Internet Connection Sharing, Ubuntu [04:21] oh i found it (although under the name startup applications^^), but i want to have ibus on there, but i don't know how to put it there.

[04:22] i have the tar.bz2 [04:22] !b43 [04:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about b43 [04:23] Guest: that's why I suggest (if you want to use the command line) mv /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-login.ogg /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-login-original.ogg and then, mv /path/to/your-sound.ogg /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-login.ogg [04:23] Shwack, i noticed this problem for the first time when someone earlier sent the link http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/switch_exchange.html i'm unable to use the button in the middle as well. [04:23] hi [04:23] Guest you should maybe also use mplayer or something to listen to those .ogg's so you know for sure which one you want to move or alter. [04:23] nanotube, This is interesting. The "Find in Files" feature works pretty close to what I had in mind. Also, code folding actually works (it doesn't in TextMate for Python). [04:24] mrplow, then it's probably just a matter of grooming you routes. man ip route [04:24] ZykoticK9 - thank you very much - i'm in the process of trying to get the play button working for my friend [04:24] greezmunkey, thanks I'll give it a shot [04:24] ZykoticK9 - I am able to click both play buttons [04:24] Shwack, as Arsin pointed out - if i switch to Metacity it works! [04:25] extract tar.bz2 and then what? [04:25] mrplow, type ip route, then copy the result to the pastebin [04:26] Shwack, lol - once i renable compiz i can click on the play button in the middle of the other video and it works!?! but once i refresh the page - not working again, very strange [04:26] greezmunkey, http://pastebin.com/m2554785e [04:26] !compile [04:26] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [04:26] nanotube: ok, I eventually figured out I could kill the netbook-launcher process, then add a real start button thing to the menu bar [04:26] akav: nice :) [04:26] jfrank: cool [04:27] ZykoticK9 - that is strange - I tried refreshing the page and i can still click them. [04:27] Shwack, do you have a link to an example that isn't working for you? [04:27] ZykoticK9 - I will ask for one - one second [04:27] can someone tell me why i have wpa_supplicant running if i dont even have a wireless card installed? [04:28] Shwack, also are you on 9.10 and what architecture 64 or i686? what flash are you using - i'm using from restricted-extras [04:28] mrplow, you dont have both connected now right? [04:28] He is using 9.10 - fresh install - 64 - flashplugin-nonfree [04:28] right, if I did I'd loose my wan connection [04:28] ZykoticK9 - sorry forgot to put your name firs t- hope you saw [04:29] Shwack, so same everything -- you have an example? [04:29] what the cmd for del directory [04:29] greezmunkey, I'm still reading through the man pages but its hard, thanks for the help [04:29] spirits-sight: rmdir [04:29] thanks [04:29] I forgot [04:29] spirits-sight: in ~ then rm -R [04:31] Okay, I can't auto-mount my flash drive but using gparted I can. [04:31] Is there a way to fix this? [04:31] mrplow, to get a better picture, make the connection and run ip route, copy the result into a file for later reference, that way if you can't get it, you'll have the symptom nailed down for someone to suggest a fix! === lipsin__ is now known as lipsin [04:33] mrplow, my guess is that you are ending up with an erroneous default route, and that removing it will fix you problem. You may be able to add some scripting to make the fix permenant. [04:34] Every time I plug in my usb0 device, I have to type in "sudo ifconfig usb0 10.10.10.10". How can I have my Ubuntu system do this IP settings automatically upon device connect? [04:34] evening all, i have Karmic up in a VBox vm on win xp and i cant get decent resolutions... its stuck at 600x800 (landscape) [04:35] gartral|vm: have you installed the guest additions? [04:35] scunizi: noper [04:35] I'm having some trouble with Ubuntu One [04:35] Shwack, on closer inspection I don't appear to be using "apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree" shows none installed! the only thing I have including flash installed is flashplugin-installer. This is what was installed by "ubuntu-restricted-extras" just after install. [04:36] After running it for the first time, according to the manual, I am supposed to see a web page where I can add this computer. However, it never brings up any webpage [04:36] ZykoticK9 - Sorry for the wait - i've asked my friend twice now for examples and he's just leaving me hanging so I'm probably gonna end up doing the same to him and just call this problem solved lol. Thank you very much though [04:36] gartral|vm: go to the top of the vm box and click "Devices" then Install Guest Additions.. that will mount the iso [04:36] i'm having issues with my snes gamepad. i'm using gamecon map=0,1 and it worked fine until I rm -rf /tmp/*. Now the gamepad is stuck on rapid fire [04:36] Hi I need to find a way to recover muy xubuntu 9.10 it just won't boot [04:36] scunizi: will that work if i already have a disk or iso mounted/ [04:36] greezmunkey, http://pastebin.com/m553bff7b [04:36] ZykoticK9 - If I do hear from him I'll let you know [04:36] gartral|vm: what disk? [04:36] iso? [04:36] can I get some help resolving this? [04:37] Ubuntu 9.10 takes a while to load after I log in, how do I fix that? [04:37] scunizi: scunizi physical cdrom [04:37] Shwack, please do, i'd love to see an example (another example) [04:37] is there a cool graphical equalizer in ubuntu? [04:37] anybody know of a cool graphical equalizer in ubuntu? [04:37] why does'nt synaptic show a cool graphical equalizer in ubuntu? [04:37] gartral|vm: no.. it will be a virtual cdrom for the vm [04:37] hi [04:37] I have a problem with dhclient with a broadcom wifi card on a dell inspiron 6400. Im using kubuntu karmic [04:37] ZykoticK9 - When he told me about the problem he mentioned flash videos and all youtube videos [04:37] is there any one here that knows abotu this issue? [04:37] i'm having issues with my snes gamepad. i'm using gamecon map=0,1 and it worked fine until I rm -rf /tmp/*. Now the gamepad is stuck on rapid fire [04:37] gartral|vm: can you also get to the Applications>Accessories>Terminal [04:38] Cann0n, jscalibrator [04:38] Shwack, see i'm having almost perfect flash (but not quite 100%), that disabling compiz thing is interesting. [04:38] mrplow, so that's what it looks like with both Ethernet cables connected? [04:38] scunizi: yep [04:39] gartral|vm: ok.. in the open terminal type ... cd /media/cdrom0 .. and enter.. then .. ls ... let me know if anything is listed [04:39] Cann0n: Have you rebooted since you wiped /tmp? [04:39] When I have Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop it takes a while to load, and the bar generally skips around on the Ubuntu Splash Screen, then when I log in it takes a while for it to log in. Is there a reason it does this and how do I fix it? [04:39] xubuntu is just hanging won't boot. I would like to recover this drive is here a way??? [04:39] scunizi: your advice just caused me to screw up a blank.. i mounted the guest additions and it uunmounted my disk i was burning... [04:39] ZykoticK9 - sudo apt-get --purge autoremove flashplugin-nonfree and then sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree made my flash work 100% [04:39] is there a wat [04:39] way [04:40] gartral|vm: that's different.. never had that happen.. sorry about that. [04:40] greezmunkey, yes the wan doesn't work but I can access my private lan [04:40] prappl93: it takes a while for everyone though, how long are you talking here? [04:40] Shwack, see that's what i've been running since installing 9.10 (and i feel fewer issues/problems then 9.04) [04:40] Shwack, one of the few areas i can say that [04:40] emma, some times I sit for minutes before it decides to load my GNOME, then when it does some parts of the panel don't load and I have to wait for those prompts to get done [04:40] geirha: yes. [04:40] woon't boot:'( [04:40] I have an Intel graphics card if that helps... [04:40] mrplow, which eth is private 0, or 1 I just want to be sure. [04:40] greezmunkey, I always have both connected but I usually disable the private wan with karmic's networkmanager applet [04:40] prappl93: ooh. it sounds maybe a bit like a video card problem. Maybe it's an older laptop? [04:41] prappl93, emma disable all the special effects in appearance [04:41] greezmunkey, eth1 is private eth0 is my wan (router connected to cable modem) [04:41] hwilde, set it to No Visual Effects? [04:41] ZykoticK9 - 9.10 brought a few audio hiccups my way but nothing a google search and a few terminal commands didn't fix. [04:41] gartral|vm: shall we continue .. [04:41] prappl93, yes. [04:41] mrplow, that's what it looked like...brb [04:41] hwilde, I will install 9.10 and try it out. [04:41] greezmunkey, thx [04:42] prappl93, turn off all the fancy settings and should be faster [04:42] I need to replace grub with grub2 but first I have to get it boot!!! [04:42] Hello!

[05:03] install vino-server on ubuntu and connect to that using VNC viewer instead of the default desktop sharing that's built in? [05:03] ZehavaZM, it should already be installed just type vino-server [05:03] emma: xserver with xauth ..

[05:05] just have to figure how to run it properly [05:05] ZehavaZM: what u want to run ? [05:05] hwilde: so I know that when I'm ftping into this server, no matter which client I do it on - it's always on the same mode [05:05] ZehavaZM, it's easy man just type vino-preferences [05:05] okay preferences, will try that [05:05] jonz__, ascii/binary passive mode, etc [05:05] !info vino [05:05] vino (source: vino): VNC server for GNOME.

[05:06] is there alternatives for teamviewer in linux ? [05:06] oh, haha yes (its late here) [05:06] Um_cara_qualquer: go to #C channel [05:06] Um_cara_qualquer: try asking in ##c or ##c++ [05:06] hwilde little icon in the corner and the whole bit [05:07] Okay, the windows built in remote desktop won't connect at all [05:07] cauleen, nice seems like a common problem with that card. its in the dmesg output you posted line 635 [05:07] ZehavaZM, ok now try vnc viewer [05:08] im got to go now ... see u good people.. im always here for help .. bye [05:08] same thing I got last time. It asks for pass then pops up the desktop wall paper and that's it [05:08] hwilde the confusing part only came up becouse with the live cd it reconised it but then after full install it didnt [05:08] hwilde from what I just read online (and the tiny-bit i comprehended) the different modes you choose help determine which ports things transfer on. (and i don't mean changing ascii/binary). so the fact that I notice it usually says like "200 PORT ...." whenever it hangs *has* to be related I'd think [05:08] but if I move the mouse on the windows machine it moves it here on the ubuntu one [05:08] ZehavaZM, download tightvnc viewer [05:08] I"m typing on the windows machine now...just can't see it on the windows machine [05:08] hwilde got it, same problem [05:08] ZehavaZM: Try disabling visual effects [05:08] tightvnc rules [05:09] doh...yeah that might be it [05:09] ZehavaZM: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> [Visual Effects] [05:09] anybody else actively ssh into there boxes??

[05:33] kossan_: that makes sense ill try it [05:33] Cam still doesn't work :S [05:33] Freetards, face facts. You've lost. You've had sixteen years to try and build a desktop operating system, and you still can't get your shit together. Nobody wants your software. It's not Microsoft's fault. It's yours. Because trust me, if you truly developed a kick-ass OS with tens of thousands of drivers and easy installation and reliable performance, you'd be winning. But you're not. Firefox caught on, right? Why? Because it rocked. [05:33] Desktop Linux, however, is a different story, and in your heart of hearts you know this. It's a bad imitation of Windows and can't even come close to OS X. Want more proof? India rejected the XO machine. Hardly anybody else is placing orders for Negroponte's miracle laptop, despite the low, low price of only one hundred dollars. Now the Chinese don't want Linux. They're not buying into your crazy crusade. Sorry.

[05:36] if you need a later version of rubygems, you'll have to build it yourself [05:36] gm|lap: jaunty was the version before karmic [05:36] yeap [05:37] sorry, that's kinda what i mean [05:37] yohan_: hmm.. And grub can't find cdroms i suppose [05:37] kossan_: that I dont know, im really bad with grub [05:38] while you don't necessarily *need* to upgrade, it would be a good idea if you could.

[05:46] hrmmm [05:46] i tried installing a windows driver earlier using ndiswrapper and now I want to remove it [05:46] <[[thufir]]> you should be able to run fdisk from a usb stick. [05:46] I think it might be one of the errors [05:47] If I uninstall ndiswrapper, will the drivers go with it? [05:47] the format in installing ubuntu is a quick format, right? [05:47] because it is fast [05:47] Ryan9104, you may be able to review your console log to figure out what exactly you did to install the ndiswrapper... [05:47] gnome doesnt save my network password, its enoyin i dont want to type it again! im deleted .gnome2/keyrings and .gconf/nm-applet but it doesnt let me save the passwords, any ideas whats wrong??

[05:47] can anyone help me out,i tried to change my username at the 'users & groups' and i could only change the real name not my login name whats wrong?is there a other way perhaps [05:48] well earlier when I installed the driver, it wouldn't uninstall after. I don't need ndiswrapper at all. [05:48] Hello there! Looking for some help with technical stuff. Anyone proficient with disks, fstab, etc? [05:49] greezmunkey: http://pastebin.com/m2e53cf2f [05:49] @O__o: full wipe as in you want to clear all partitions and data? [05:49] full wipe so that it will also mark off bad sector [05:49] there are like 119 bad sector now [05:50] O__o: that's not good. You can try simply deleting everything and making one large partition using gparted and then checking everything with fsck. But maybe you're looking at lower-level tools if you have bad sectors. And a new drive if there's hardware damage... <_< [05:50] Ryan9104, man I'm sorry, I have no practical experience with ndiswrapper. [05:50] ignore that [05:50] I just want it removed atm :D [05:51] it was just something I tried earlier and isn't required at all. [05:51] Nov 17 23:50:51 ryan-desktop pulseaudio[1704]: ratelimit.c: 172 events suppressed [05:51] Ryan9104, reverse what you did to install it... [05:51] i uninstalled it [05:51] that is the only thing it says now when I plug it in. [05:51] why doesn't my kubuntu live-cd have an expert mode menu? (F6>F6) [05:51] Hey guys, I'd really appreciate it if anyone can help me with eSATA on Ubuntu... [05:51] I read how to disable that earlier though [05:52] Ryan9104, Ah, got ya.. [05:53] is there a way to relocate a partition, say /dev/sda2 to /dev/sda3 withot copying everything with dd? === ubuntu is now known as vagothcpp [05:53] why does kubuntu install with encrypted drive not let me type a password to unlock te encryption on a brad new install [05:53] ubuntu: I think not; at least not that I've ever heard of. dd with the right settings shouldn't be too bad though, unless you have a crapton of data to move [05:54] greezmunkey: I don't see any errors in there anymore. [05:54] noir, About 500GB of files to move [05:54] Ryan9104, that's good, I guess! [05:54] still don't work :P [05:54] vagothcpp: hmm. maybe there is some way but not with any tool I've ever used (fdisk, gparted). Maybe commercial disk formatting tools have dark magic like that [05:55] Ryan9104, what are you doing to test it? [05:55] noir, it sounds simple, but would be much more difficult to actually do [05:55] opening all the cam programs [05:55] it shows up under lsusb fine [05:55] vagothcpp: it does. unfortunately I don't think it's a common enough occurrence to be implemented simply. Mind if I ask why you need to move the partition? [05:56] Ryan9104, ok webcam...this is a USB device I take it? [05:56] Ubuntu just flies on this Mac Mini, it blows me away. [05:56] so much faster than Mac OS X [05:56] yep. [05:56] brb [05:56] noir, I am an organizational guy, if /dev/sda2 is located at the end of the disk, and /dev/sda4 at the front (which it is), it bugs me soo much i can't concentrate, heh [05:56] can you specify expert install in the boot options like you would specify noapic or apci=off? [05:56] hi, i need to make my ubuntu in my lab to act as live cd just like what deepfreeze in windows. what software do i need to support this? [05:57] greezmunkey: yep [05:57] vagothcpp: hahahaha ah I hear ya. I just repartitioned my disk last week and accidentally left 5MB of unallocated space in front of my /. Bugged the crap out of me but I wasn't about to redo the entire install for those 5MB [05:57] !remastersys | jongbergs [05:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about remastersys [05:57] !remaster | jongbergs [05:57] jongbergs: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [05:57] noir, I would do a complete reinstall for 5MB, I've done it for less. [05:58] vagothcpp: ha! well to each his own I suppose. I'll end up reformatting in a few months anyway (my tinkering always lands me in tight spots) so I'll probably fix it then [05:58] noir, My boot partition is 1GB at the head of my disk, I messed it up and it was 997MB, oh how it annoyed me, till I destroyed the linux partition in its way, so I could resize it and reinstall [05:58] Ryan9104, whta is the output of these? :ls /dev/video* [05:58] ls /dev/audio* [05:59] vagothcpp: that's OCD [05:59] arghh2d2, OCD? [05:59] vagothcpp: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder [05:59] vagothcpp: yeah obsessive compulsive lol [05:59] yeah [05:59] noir, I reinstall my linux systems every year to maintain a nice running system, and my windows every 6 months [06:00] vagothcpp: thats not necessary on linux, just windoze [06:00] greezmunkey: ls: cannot access /dev/video*: No such file or directory [06:00] did I do that right? [06:00] vagothcpp: I guess you could say I do the opposite - I change my linux all the time but I don't do anything with my OEM Vista install unless I absolutely positively have to [06:00] how do i make ibus autostart? [06:00] noir, You prolly don't use it much? [06:00] Ryan9104 try sudo ls /dev/video* [06:00] unless you happen to upgrade to karmic and everything get broken and then you might have to reinstall [06:00] I just wish Gnome keyboard shortcuts made as much sense as Mac OS X. [06:01] same thing [06:01] akav: you can make your own shortcuts I beleive. [06:01] vagothcpp: Hardly ever; I've gone months without booting it. Just started using it again this past week - got drawn in by Modern Warfare 2 <_< [06:01] akav: system > preferences >keyboard shortcuts [06:01] ryan9104, is you cam plugged in right now? [06:01] Ryan9104, Yeah sorta kinda, it's a lot of work though, and some things can't be edited like cut/copy/paste. [06:02] noir, I might end up ditching my windows install, and put it on a VM and run it through linux, then jus make a snapshot of it when its clean and crap, and revert to that when it clutters [06:02] greez, yes [06:02] greezmunkey: yes [06:02] ryan@ryan-desktop:~$ lsusb [06:02] Bus 002 Device 010: ID 046d:0870 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express [06:02] pls can anyone help me out,i tried to change my username at the 'users & groups' and i could only change the real name not my login name and home whats wrong?is there a other way perhaps [06:02] never jump on a new ubuntu release until it's at least 5 months old [06:02] Ryan9104, And you can't set i.e. ctrl-w to close the current document/tab only. [06:02] nu-user: thanks, but i need ubuntu installed on hard disk just like the normal way. what i want is that settings and configuration will not be changed unless you "unfreeze". also any files created while in "freeze mode" will be lost the next reboot. [06:02] One thing that bugs me about GNOME is I can't get my sensitivity on my mouse HIGHER! Its soo slow moving [06:02] Ryan9104, And Mac keyboards are screwed up in Gnome to begin with... [06:02] vagothcpp: that's sort of what I do - I have a trimmed-down VirtualBox machine of Windows XP (for those couple of pesky Windows-only programs that don't run well in WINE but don't merit a reboot either) [06:03] Ryan9104, than I would say that the system is not creating a device for you. I would have to dig into this more, but I would want to know more about why that is...were it me! [06:04] greezmunkey: if only you knew how much time I've put into this. I've been trying to get this working since I got off of work at 4:30 and I worked on it more yesterday. === baytes-vm is now known as baytes [06:04] I think I might reinstall and try again. [06:04] noir, well my system supports hardware virtualization so its all good for me, all I do on windows is game, anything i programme is a server and thus better on linux [06:04] ls /dev/video* [06:04] oops === baytes is now known as baytes-vm [06:05] Ryan9104, brb [06:05] Alright guys so here's the deal. I've got a 1TB WD MyBook Studio edition here - bought it for the highspeed eSATA port. Also bought a ExpressCard-to-eSATA adapter based on the JMicron JMB26X chipset (apparently Linux-supported). It worked on my old laptop with Hardy (or Intrepid, can't remember) but on my new Vaio, nothing happens. Halp? [06:05] okay [06:06] correction; that should say JMB36X chipset [06:06] Also, nothing is showing up in dmesg, and I get nothing from lspci, lshw, etc [06:07] noir - are you sure your MyBook is still working? Mine fried after 5 months [06:07] Shwack: yup, USB connection works fine [06:08] Ryan9104, try this, cat /var/log/dmesg | grep gspca [06:08] noir just a question.. i hate mybooks because of it >: hopefully somebody can help you though [06:08] Why is DD so slow! [06:08] i feel like every helpful solution lately could be summed up as: Reinstall 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope. [06:08] greezmunkey: nothing [06:08] arghh2d2: heh [06:08] Shwack: it's been great for me so far...thanks though [06:08] vagothcpp: please can u help me out,i tried to change my username at the 'users & groups' and i could only change the real name not my login name and home whats wrong?is there a other way perhaps [06:08] i dont see anyone in here with a problem on 9.04 [06:08] Ryan9104, that should be the driver for your device, brb [06:09] ubuntu can't mount root and won't boot into single user mode, can someone help? [06:09] Ryan9104, Logitech quickcam express, right? [06:09] greezmunkey: you going to be here in 20 minutes or so? I may reformat to eliminate the chance I fucked something up. [06:09] arghh2d2: I hated 9.04 - in fact it gave me so much trouble that I skipped the release entirely. I was on Intrepid until last week [06:09] greezmunkey: correct [06:10] Ryan9104, hold the phone there, slow down chainsaw... [06:10] brb [06:10] jeffr: can you get hold of a boot cd? [06:10] haha. I've reformatted today once and I'm not afraid to do it again. DUN DUN DUN [06:10] noir: it's all about when you get to it...right now 9.10 is going through what i'm sure 9.04 went through shortely after release [06:10] : I don't know alot about Ubuntu... or linux ftm, sorry [06:11] mb, I can but was hoping there is an easier way, it's installed by wubi with mac os on another partition [06:11] arghh2d2: true, but I felt like 9.04 had more consistent problems than any other release I've ever tried. I've been using Ubuntu since Hoary [06:11] vagothcpp: just type the first few letters of someones name and hit the tab key [06:12] arghh2d2, I know that, but i didnt read his name and cbf scrolling up === Pupuser402-1 is now known as manbuzy [06:13] jongbergs -> you know that you can use the livecd iso stored on a disk and boot to it? [06:13] I don't think you can change usernames from Users & Groups [06:13] Ryan9104, have you looked at this page yet? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams [06:13] mb, I'm running a disk check in windows now and tried to run one in mac os [06:13] jeffr: waste of time going through the mangled system boot, boot off external media, fsck the filesystems from there, you should then be able to judge if the system is repairable or toast based on the volume of fixes involved. after the fsck runs clean you can retry the boot, hope it was minor damage [06:13] jongbergs -> therefore if you do remaster and then use that same iso to boot while it is stored in your hd [06:13] <_ged> hi, in the "/etc/services" you can see the list of ports that are being used right? how can i UNASSIGN a program or service to that port? [06:13] greezmunkey: yes. I sent you a PM btw. [06:13] Still jonesin for some answers on why I get nothing with eSATA now... [06:14] vagothcpp: i used to have problems with all the scrolling in here too...then i figured out how to ignore the joins and parts... try /ignore #ubuntu joins parts ...if it works you'll be so much happier. [06:14] nu-user: nope, no idea, i haven't done it tried before..just searching for now.. [06:14] vagothcpp: from where do you think? [06:14] jeffr: why windows? is it multi boot? [06:14] _ged: /etc/services doesn't really assign anything [06:14] What is UDS O_O [06:14] nu-user: thanks for your ideas.. [06:14] CHESLYN, Not sure bro, neva done it b4, neva needed too [06:14] Ryan9104, I am new to irssi, don't know how to deal with private messages :> [06:14] _ged: it just says which service name is commonly associated with a particular port [06:14] jongbergs -> okay.. good luck [06:14] nu-user: i've heard aufs supports.. [06:15] <_ged> lstarnes: then, is there a way on how can i UNASSIGN a program to any port? [06:15] mb, wubi installs ubuntu on the windows partition with windows [06:15] greezmunkey: /q [06:15] _ged: stop the program that is using that port [06:15] arghh2d2, Unknown arg 'joins' ignored. [06:15] Unknown arg 'parts' ignored. [06:15] greezmunkey: hit alt- to change irssi windows [06:15] _ged: or configure that program to not use that port [06:16] jeffr: sorry, unfamiliar with that. I just do native. Have you checked that the disk itself is ok? ie smart status. [06:16] vagothcpp: which client are you using? [06:16] xchat for gnome [06:16] vagothcpp: try /help ignore ... i'm using irssi so it's probly diferent but close [06:16] kai, well, its a live cd now atm, ill fix it when i install debian xD [06:16] mb, yeah disk is ok and both windows and mac os boot fine === sean is now known as Guest22176 [06:16] jongbergs -> livecd uses squashfs i believe [06:17] nu-user: Yeah, it does. [06:17] vagothcpp: I know this works for the original xchat, but it might fail in xchat-gnome. right-click on the channel tab and look for "show joins/quits" or something like that [06:17] jeffmr: good luck then, peace out [06:17] arghh2d2: You don't know of a script that sends all join/parts and so to anouther window, Flags work but a script may work better [06:17] Ahh, I see it [06:17] Much quiter [06:17] There are alot of people joining and leaving [06:17] man, wait, what? this client...is through the terminal? [06:17] vagothcpp: thanks bro [06:17] kossan_: no but that would be pretty cool. [06:17] Guest22176: well, why not? [06:18] vagothcpp: I personally prefer not to disable that because I like knowing if someone that I am talking to has left the channel [06:18] Guest22176: which client? [06:18] theadmin: well, I'm just a bit confused. New to Linux, see. I just installed irssi === Guest22176 is now known as seanicus [06:18] lstarnes, You can jus press tab, the autocomplete will fail if they have left xD [06:18] mb_again_: thanks [06:18] Terminal stuff is cool XD i never ever used Synaptic so far, except trough update-manager... use apt-get [06:18] lstarnes: tab key will tell ya if they're still on [06:18] !lethe [06:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about lethe [06:19] vagothcpp, arghh2d2: I know, but I prefer being able to simply look rather than having to actively use tab [06:19] Terminal is old school, I am one for ever improving technology [06:19] why were there so many kde updates in today's updates? [06:19] nu-user: i found this http://sourceforge.net/projects/lethe/ [06:19] vagothcpp, arghh2d2: that and my tab completion sometimes fails [06:19] hi all. how do I import a key from seahorse into evolution? [06:19] so you're saying that because I installed with synaptic, I don't have an application for it? [06:19] nu-user: Lethe is a Deep Freeze-like Partition Freezing Software for Debian GNU/Linux and Lihuen GNU/Linux (May work on other Debian-based GNU/Linux distributions). [06:19] lstarnes, I activly tab for a living, so its no probs for me =D [06:19] vagothcpp - i'm with you - never really been into sticking to the harder way of doing things [06:19] vagothcpp: But terminal have screen =) === ent is now known as entv6 [06:19] <_ged> lstarnes: i got a question again about services, If i stop a program by using "sudo /etc/init.d/servicename stop" will it stop forever? [06:20] seanicus: terminal-only applications often don't get added to the menus [06:20] where do I find the actual application? [06:20] Shwack, If terminal is the best option, ill do it, else, i wont [06:20] _ged: no [06:20] _ged: it stops until the next time the system starts or the runlevel changes [06:20] I don't even know what the term is, sorry [06:20] vagothcpp - same - I prefer installing /removing some things via terminal [06:20] seanicus: applications > accessories > terminal [06:20] vagothcpp - however, copying files from one folder to the other. gui please [06:20] seanicus: once you get there, type irssi [06:20] _ged: restarted at boot up time or login - depends on how it is setup [06:20] Did it [06:20] <_ged> thanks [06:21] (that's how I got here :P) [06:21] _ged: update-rc.d can probably be used to disable it completely [06:21] Shwack, Yeh, installing, uninstalling and updating, i prefer terminal, copying files, GUI, web browsing, definetly gui (who uses text-webbrowser anyway) and moving partitions around, definetly terminal [06:22] vagothcpp - yep. I've only recently played with partitions and haven't had to move any around yet thankfully. But I'm all about saving time and energy. [06:22] jongbergs -> i dont know why you insist on deep freeze or whatever.. livecd using squashfs does not really saved things anyways [06:22] is this what irssi is? you can only run it on the terminal? [06:22] how in terminal would i make a loop to execute "sudo kill -SIGUSR1 4177" every minute? [06:22] vagothcpp - I operate multiple websites and have over 10,000 files in thousands of diff folders in my web directory - I'd kill myself trying to play around with all that in terminal [06:22] vagothcpp: elinks isn't bad... [06:22] Can anyone name a good clone of Paint for Linux except gPaint and KolourPaint? I don't want KDE stuff and gPaint is bleh [06:22] vagothcpp: i use links-g for simple document/pic browsing ALOT...only use firefail for flash and java [06:22] hi all. how do I import a key from seahorse into evolution? [06:23] Shwack, Heh heh, I do work for a web hosting company [06:23] theadmin: gimp.... [06:23] whose keen on a discussion about driv egeometry? [06:23] driv=drive [06:23] jongbergs -> if your goal is to run livecd like environment, then remastering a livecd to tailor to your needs and then run it off of your hardisk [06:23] I hate gimp. I can't figure it out [06:23] Shwack, I would also die if I had to do everything by terminal [06:23] Blue1: Lol, no, gimp is more like photoshop [06:23] how to bypass the proxy to apt-get [06:23] Blue1: sounds overkill... =D [06:23] the menus don't even dock [06:23] theadmin: overkill but all that I know... [06:23] how in terminal would i make a loop to execute "sudo kill -SIGUSR1 4177" every minute? [06:24] vagothcpp - I'm still pretty nubtard in multiple areas when it comes to hosting, but I want to rent my own dedicated (or vps) sever soon [06:24] try tuxpaint the admin [06:24] vagothcpp: what programme ru trying to kill every mnute? [06:24] vagothcpp: with cron i think [06:24] Shwack, Well, we colocated our own server [06:24] sunketh: Hm... thanks, i will...

The FireGPG is asking me where the executable is and I don't know the answer.

Sorry [06:27] Shwack, I don't know of any Colo facilites in ure area, but look around [06:27] lstarnes: Is there a reason to use gpg2 instead? [06:27] vagothcpp - i wouldn't think there are any - Plus i want to be connected to a main backbone [06:28] when using Xinerama, anyone know how to get the bottom panel on to one of the other screens? mine is stuck on screen 0 :( [06:28] vagothcpp - I like dallas because it can service the entire US nicely [06:28] How do you get banshee to rip audio CD's to MP3? The documentation on their website is outdated... [06:28] acat: if the installed gpg is not version 2, then gpg2 should be version 2 [06:28] Hello, sorry for bothering you all, but I've just installed 9.10 and now XP doesn't show up in my GRUB anymore... I'm reading through the wiki but don't understand what they are explaining. Is anyone here familiar with how GRUB works? [06:28] acat: version 2 of gpg is more recent and supports more algorithms among other things [06:28] Shwack, That is were our servers are colocated, i live in australia myself, but I have tech mates in Dallas that do upgrading for me [06:28] question - trying to install ubuntu on a HP xl844 but when the kernel loads it just freezes any suggestions to bypass that? [06:29] guybrush: I know my way around GRUB (a little) - are you on your Linux install right now? [06:29] guybrush: Try running update-grub in terminal... or was it update-grub2... [06:29] seanica: irssi can only be rn in a terminal [06:29] *run [06:29] vagothcpp - good choice :) I was just about to ask you if people there offer maintenance or upkeep plan [06:29] guybrush : try to update grub with sudo update-grub2 === entv6 is now known as ent [06:30] Shwack, indeed, the thing is they don't have a website, so my mates who do the upgrades organized the entire thing [06:30] I do most of the software crap, and send them parts if i want an upgrade === ent is now known as entv6 === deep_thought is now known as Jehova [06:31] vagothcpp - right on - sounds like you're getting a good deal. My dream = quad / eight core superserver extreme on raid10 with a ridiculous amount of ram at an affordable price :) [06:31] how to bypass the proxy to apt-get [06:31] vagothcpp - is that too much to ask ? [06:31] lstarnes: /usr/bin/gpg is the path, but FireGPG insists it cannot find it. [06:32] vagothcpp - I already have the domain :) shwack.net rofl I just need the server [06:32] Shwack, What my server is is an: Intel Core 2 Quad, 8x12K RPM 500GB HDD's, in Raid 1+0 [06:32] acat: I'm not sure what to do about that then [06:32] vagothcpp - i am drooling - and in dallas you are on a real 100Mb connection [06:32] acat: sounds like a permissions problem [06:32] Shwack, 1000Mbps* [06:32] theadmin: it is grub2 [06:33] guybrush: Okay thanks, than "sudo update-grub2" would do i think [06:33] noir: Surely I need not run firefox as root?! === seanica is now known as seanicus [06:33] hows the IT job market in dallas [06:33] has anyone installed a Karmic Xen VM on top of a Hardy Xen host (dom0)? === Jehova is now known as jehovah [06:33] I just still use grub 1 since i updated from Jaunty [06:33] hi, can i updage the avr-gcc module ( i have 4.2.2) to something newer than 4.3 without re-installing ubuntu? im running 8.04 [06:34] acat: good lord no. but maybe check GPG permissions or your PATH. Just throwin that out there [06:34] okay, I just updated it... it "finds" a linux image, an initrd image, memtest86, and Vista bootloader... problem is that I don't have Vista (installed it once before but replaced it with XP instead) [06:34] o_O [06:35] the vista bootloader is still on my machine or something === jehovah is now known as deep_thought [06:36] i wouldn't really care if I could just "add in" an XP option pointing to the correct partition somehow... but I don't understand how to do it from the wiki [06:36] in the vista bootloader you'll find "older operating system" or something like that [06:37] noir: I'm not sure how to proceed. :-\ [06:37] kossan_: if I press the Vista bootloader... it says something like NTRDL not found.... (press ctrl + alt + delete) [06:37] This may sound like a dumb question, and may not be the appropriate channel for this, but I'm very new to IRC and what not, but I just registered my nickname on the freenode thing, what do I do now? How do I tell xchat (the client I'm using) to "log" me into this nickname? [06:37] SudoGhost: go to XChat > Network List and change your settings there [06:38] SudoGhost: you may also need to edit the entry for freenode so that it uses your nickserv password as a server password [06:38] acat: sorry I can't be more help - kinda just saw your last few messages and was interested [06:38] hello, I can't seem to access a particular site from ubuntu ( https://www.funfile.org ), however it works fine with windows. Additionally, it worked fine in 9.04 [06:39] this is with all browsers, and either by IP or hostname [06:39] Starcraftmazter: what error message do you get? [06:39] Is this supposed to be a help channel? Because I don't feel good about spamming it with dumb questions [06:39] lstarnes: timeout [06:39] i cannot update abiword plz help [06:39] scottyg: what happens when you try? [06:40] Starcraftmazter: I'm not sure what would be causing that [06:40] Starcraftmazter : i'm able to visit funfile.org [06:40] :S [06:40] to give more info, if I view the source, all the HTML appears to be there, but the site just doesnt seem to load, and eventually times out [06:40] lstarnes: Do I just enter the password in the server and nickserv field? [06:40] it's very odd, I cannot ping the server either [06:40] Starcraftmazter: are you using firefox? [06:40] SudoGhost: just server password [06:40] kossan_: yes, but I also tried in opera [06:41] hmm [06:41] seanicus~ ask away as long as it is ubuntu related [06:41] it just keeps putting on the old version, then i go to the abiword site and it tells me to upgrade...again [06:41] its as though some network setting is stuffed up, but this is a clean installation of 9.10, i only installed a few days ago [06:41] scottyg: how are you upgrading it? [06:41] noir: No problem. I'm sure we'll get it worked out. :-) [06:42] i did it by following the step by step instructions on the abiword website [06:42] anyone? avr-gcc 4.3.3 or later on hardy heron? [06:42] is there a format painter in abiword? [06:43] lstarnes: I got it working, and verified it. Thank you very much. [06:43] anyone know how you would add processes so they start on boot up? [06:44] hello, i'm trying to use wordpress on my ubuntu, but i cant get the mail system to work, (ex: send mail recovering password) what sould i do?

[06:51] it is [06:51] ive looked it up [06:51] this is so frustrating [06:52] what is [06:52] when a package gets messed up there is no clear way to remedy it [06:52] hmm... so let me get this straight... mail-notifier requires thunderbird (or other email client) to run to actually notify about new emails?! ehmm... what's the effing point of it then?! [06:52] sound-juicer just decided to kick the bucket and now Synaptic is useless [06:53] Okay, this is kinda difficult to explain, and might be a long question, but I'm thinking about somehow making it so that an IRC chat will be on my desktop. Not as a window or a widget, but either over it, or perhaps the desktop itself will be interactive, if that makes sense [06:53] ner0x, i've never used it myself: gnucash - A personal finance tracking program [06:53] Is there a program that does that? [06:53] ZykoticK9: That could work. Thank you. [06:54] I am having trouble getting my laptop webcam working. Can anyone help me?

[06:56] I'm having trouble with my samba install, I can connect to my system via ssh, but when i try to restart samba it sez it isnt there [06:56] scottyg: run "sudo apt-get install cheese" [06:57] yeah, that's why my friend suggested irssi for me. How do I embed it on my desktop, chu_ ? [06:57] zetheroo1 : in grub screen choose recovery mode you can fix broken packages from there [06:57] where can i download ubottu [06:57] scottyg: or you may show up in the software center [06:57] !broken | zetheroo1 [06:57] zetheroo1: Saying "It says nothing", "It does nothing" is generally not very useful for troubleshooting. Please be as specific as possible: if you see a black screen, say so, if you see a shell prompt, say so, if you see an !error message, say so - Also, most !CLI commands don't print anything when they succeed, but only when they fail.

[06:58] seanicus: you can use compiz to make the terminal transparent then use a terminal based irc client it will give the illusion of being part of the desktop but you can still close it and move it around i forget how to do it you might ask in #compiz [06:58] zetheroo1 : there's maybe lots of way to fix broken packages, but i always fix the broken packages from recovery mode :) [06:59] zetheroo1, check this if you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto#How%20to%20fix%20broken%20packages [06:59] scottyg: no prob, check back if it works (or doesn't) [06:59] anyone offer me any help im pretty stuck, also having issues with vnc === kb is now known as Guest78056 [06:59] ctmjr, but noooo it can't be an actual window!

And I have no idea what to do about that [07:06] there's nothing in preferences, so I'm not sure if it has to do with the OS, maybe [07:06] kisuke: once you get to stuff like advanced channel management, it starts to be inadequate [07:07] zetheroo1: ahhhh, this error exit status 2 message. This is partly what made me reinstall last week <_< [07:07] ok i am in the abiword directory...how do i compile and install it? [07:07] noir: oh no [07:07] anyone? [07:07] lstarnes: never tried dont know if i will, thanks any way i do have xchat installed just incase [07:07] zetheroo1: I was told that this is a problem with dpkg itself and that you can try forcing packages in/out, but good luck with that - pretty decent chance you'll kill your system that way [07:08] Is anybody really good with getting webcams to work? My laptop cam works fine in cheese, but I go to tinychat.com and for some reason it doesn't recognize it. I am running ubuntu 9.10 Anyone help me out? [07:08] noir: this is so ridiculous .. just out of the blue .... gosh ... [07:09] anyone might have any ideas why my samba and x11vnc wont install [07:09] but it does blink for xchat... [07:09] noir: how can something be so badly broken ...? ... so much for Ubuntu never needing to be reinstalled - ha [07:09] Anyone? [07:10] plustax, right click and go to flash prefs? does flash see your webcam? [07:10] zetherool: it was for me too. I forget what package it started on but before long I had an entire cluster of "zombie" programs that could neither be installed or uninstalled. As to why this happens - again I really have no clue. Dpkg has been great for me overall, but when it dies it dies a horrible death [07:10] in tinychat kostkon ? [07:10] plustax, right click on the flash vid [07:10] or in cheese? [07:10] Dolmance: abiword is in the repo's why go thru the trouble of compiling it [07:10] plustax, yeah, or on any flash vid [07:11] settings is grayed out. [07:11] plustax, all the settings or only the ones for the webcam? [07:11] all I can click is ABOUT ADOBE PLAYER 10 [07:11] I have a probably foolish question- whenever I try to compile something, I have to apt-get all the libraries and dependent stuff individually. How can I make it do this automatically? [07:11] plustax, aha ok [07:11] noir: and dpkg cannot be reinstalled? [07:11] anyone im pretty suck on this [07:11] dajxd: sudo apt-get build-dep [07:11] configure: error: Package requirements ( [07:11] fribidi >= 0.10.4 [07:12] how do i install a tar? [07:12] i get nothing but errors [07:12] kisuke: thanks so much. [07:12] plustax, i don't know what else you could do. eh, maybe flash can't recognise your webcam. [07:12] It can on my windows 7 boot on this computer. [07:12] can i use synaptic to browse to the tar? [07:12] Cuddles: What is your problem specifically? I don't know much about samba so no guarantees [07:12] dajxd: sudo apt-get build-dep sorry i for got the package name wont do much good else wise [07:12] zetheroo1: simple answer: no. It's pretty critical to the OS - reinstall is the name of the game unless you can find some dark magic solution I've never seen online. Sounds like this is an ongoing issue, so maybe sit it out and someone will come up with a fix [07:12] Dolmance: sudo apt-get install libfribidi-dev [07:12] plustax, what brand is it? [07:13] I have an asus laptop [07:13] plustax, ah [07:13] Dolmance: you need to install that development package for the configuration to continue [07:13] umm, whats the command to see the webcam model? [07:13] I forget. === kiwifunk is now known as zz_kiwifunk [07:13] plustax, eh, try lsusb maybe [07:13] yep [07:13] plustax: try lspci [07:13] one sec ill take a screenie for you [07:13] does any one know how to set up turbo gears environment in Ubuntu 9.10 [07:13] u r awesome thanx [07:14] powertool so my problem is thought i installed samba and x11vnc but when I went to restart samba it tells me it isnt there [07:14] kostkon : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2066611/Screenshot.png [07:14] Thats my lsusb === [1]sassyn is now known as sassyn [07:14] configure: error: Package requirements ( [07:14] fribidi >= 0.10.4 [07:14] glib-2.0 >= 2.6.0 gthread-2.0 >= 2.6.0 gobject-2.0 >= 2.6.0 [07:14] libgsf-1 >= 1.12 [07:14] Dolmance: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[07:15] Cuddles: try in a terminal: whereis samba [07:15] sorry!

[07:17] plustax, hmm. let's do some searching [07:18] kk [07:18] any way to bring up the force quit menu manually? [07:18] Ryan9104: type xkill in a terminal, if that's what you mean [07:18] sure is, thanks [07:20] with devilspie, am I allowed to interact with the terminal? === Darwin2038_ is now known as Darwin2038 [07:20] plustax, could you close firefox, and in a terminal, try to run it like this?: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so firefox & [07:20] seanicus: Yes... wouldn't be much good if you couldn't. [07:20] Wasn't sure if it wasn't just...some aesthetic thing [07:20] after running whereis it gives me the dir of the program [07:21] Hi, My Intel video driver is gone... strange. It has been working fine for 4 months. How do I reinstall it. They system was using the intel driver that come with the gnome version. [07:21] seanicus: I used it for awhile to embed irssi. BTW, if you just want to get rid of menubars, sometimes you can start programs with a --no-window-decoration type option. [07:22] can anyone recommend an application for monitoring network usage by application/process? I can use netstat to see what connections exist, and system monitor to see total network usage, but i want the by-application/process breakdown [07:22] kostkon I did it [07:22] Cuddles: ok, now type samba --help, what do you get? [07:22] plustax, now do to tinychat again [07:22] menubars for what? powertool08 ? [07:22] plustax, and check if the camera works now [07:22] got the help options screen [07:22] oh, I get what you mean.

[07:26] Hi! I have copied a huge amount of data, and I have an md5sum for all of it in a file. I used md5sum -c md5sum.txt | grep -v "OK$" and nothing was output. I am guaranteed that all (ie no missing files) transfered correctly? [07:26] no such file or directory [07:27] is this the main ubuntu support channel? [07:27] Cuddles: Ok, type "cd /etc/init.d/" then "ls" do you see samba listed? [07:27] kostkon [07:27] bigsteve: Yes [07:27] It still didnt recognize it, sir. [07:27] k [07:27] plustax, :( [07:28] All that command did was make my firefox pop up again.

[07:29] now i gotta try and figure out this x11vnc [07:29] bigsteve: Well, go ahead and ask. [07:29] Cuddles: Its not so hard, I use it alittle. [07:30] I installed everything for it, and when I try to run echo 5900 it wont work [07:30] gives me the same as the samva [07:30] starhash my video driver disappeared. How do I re-insall it? intel chip. on the mother board. [07:30] Cuddles:Here is a good explanation of options http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/x11vnc_opts.html [07:30] samba [07:30] I just wiped my hard drive, thinking it was my USB drive, because when I plugged in my usb drive, it went behind my main drive, so I lost 300 gigs worth of work!!!! Went to reformat my USB Drive thinking it was it, and blam, there went ALL of my data :( :( :( :( [07:31] will that help me with the install issue? [07:31] When you plug something in, it may show up in the same place as your other drive! [07:31] gwiz, sorry to hear that man. ouch! [07:31] yes, I just lot hundreds of dollars (more like thousands) [07:31] gwiz, yep, i have see that pile. [07:31] Cuddles: Also, in case you weren't aware, vnc is a weak protocol, typically not encrypted. This means your password is sent in plaintext. I tunnel mine over ssh for security. [07:32] bigsteve: Sorry to see you lost your video. Might want to try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:32] trubo gears installation fails [07:32] ...

[07:33] I'm ready to throw ubuntu out, this has made me really really upset :( [07:33] yeah im using putty to connect to my system right now [07:33] starhash, thanks. What will that command do? [07:33] trubo gears installation fails please help me ,,..... please check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1315117 is the error I am getting === kb is now known as Guest95850 [07:33] I should be mat at myself, it was my fault :( [07:33] mad* [07:34] bigsteve: It runs a little configuration program. Use the defaults, or try some options. [07:34] *waves goodnight, I need to rest on this :( [07:34] bigsteve: Please save a copy of your config file beforehand. [07:34] I backup my raid array to a Drobo using Crashplan. I've got hundreds of gigs of data that I can't lose [07:35] especially before I format a drive or an array of drives [07:35] starhash, will it reload the driver? because the driver is definatly not there right now. [07:35] hey guys, just upgraded my older 32x system from 8.04 to 9.10, i need to know if there is a way to see if my drivers are up to date ?? [07:35] no im getting errors when I restart samba [07:35] bigsteve: Well it "should". If not, you're in for some more work, I guess. [07:36] starhash. LOL ok. you said to save the config file. do you mean save it to another name? [07:36] bigsteve: Right, just copy it to your home directory or somewhere. [07:37] Cuddles: What errors? !pastebin if they are long [07:37] ok, starhash, what directory is the config file in? (sorry, newbie) [07:37] how do i pastebin over putty?

[07:38] thx a bunch for your time powertool [07:39] Cuddles: np [07:39] ill brb like 5 minutes powertool [07:39] Cuddles: Ok, maybe I will have the pastebin command by then [07:40] Why are Compiz-Plugins reactivating shortly after i deactivated them? [07:41] powertool08, Cuddles: If you're talking about http://paste.ubuntu.com/, it should work in lynx (the text mode browser). Lynx is usable over ssh. [07:41] Might be easier than running a command. [07:41] Ok starhash... I'm going in! ... I got that feel you get when you are like 8 and you are about to jump off the Highdive for the first time. here we go! [07:41] Question Guys, if I uninstall Ubuntu (the latest version) and reinstall it, will I mess something up? [07:41] I feel like my webcam is doomed to never work. [07:41] I dont' want to lose windows..... [07:42] starhash: Thanks, didn't think of that. Although the command is super easy if I can find it again. (It uses curl and |) === jonsol_ is now known as dirtyoldbastard [07:42] powertool08: Right, I figured it was a big curl commandline. [07:43] powertool08, Cuddles: Lynx is usable for a surprising number of websites and pages. Simple forms without Javascript work fine. [07:43] hey guys, is there a way to change the icon size of desktop icons in 9.10 ? [07:43] hey guys i got a question [07:43] i got this in terminal when running sudo apt-get update [07:43] W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems [07:43] starhash: It wasn't very long, I think its easier than a text based browser assuming the person isn't familiar with one. [07:44] is there a way to make my program move down, as you can see the top of it is at the top of the thing on top and I cant grab the top of the program to move it down... is there a way I can move it back down? Picture is related, it's the open office program. http://img443.imageshack.us/i/imagecu.png/ [07:44] hi,guys i find a problem in un. [07:44] can i unzip a smzip file on ubuntu? [07:44] what? [07:44] anyone know why the stats on http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ were reset? === Guest44607 is now known as trucMuche [07:44] MoralExpl: You want to move a window, but the window menu is out of the screen? Just do Alt+F7, then move. [07:45] With arrow keys [07:45] starhash, this is doing my key board.. I have no idea what my key board is. do I really have to count the keys?. [07:45] starhash, thank you so much. [07:45] guys ubuntu 8.04 had better support for my onboard graphics card. for some reason its really laggy now??? [07:45] back [07:45] i need helpp [07:45] uninitialized constant User::Authentication [07:45] bigsteve: The default should be OK (it's US keyboard by default). Are you in a US or English country? [07:46] starhash, alt f7 doesn't work for me? [07:46] is there some way to set it so windows are only raised when i click the title bar? [07:46] well i wanna upload a photo in messenger or net i my photo are displayed in the opposite side any clue? [07:46] why?? [07:46] us - english, I did the default and now it wants to know if it is a 101, 102, 104, I really don't want to change this it is working fine [07:47] can i unzip .smzip file on ubuntu [07:47] MoralExpl: While OpenOffice has the focus, hold down Alt and then press Space. A menu will pop up. Select move. Also note the keyboard shortcuts there. [07:47] nic1: yes, just fine. they're merely .zip files renamed to .smzip [07:48] W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems [07:48] but tar xvf doesn't work? what command do i need to use? [07:48] nic1: unzip [07:48] nic1: archive manager also works with them fine [07:48] starhash, can I stop this. and go back to what it was. all i need to do is install a video driver not change my whole system. [07:48] can anyone point out what the point of indicator-applet is?! oh it shows that you have new mail... as long as you have evolution open... [07:49] chelz: can i just give unzip file name or any options req? [07:49] same thing goes for mail-notification... it only notifies you... when you already have your mail program running... [07:49] starhash, i am using a wireless keyboard with several special keys that work fine. this will turn them off. [07:49] bigsteve: X is responsible for keyboard, mouse input as well as graphical output. It shouldn't have written anything if you're still in the middle of things. Just close out. === sean is now known as seanicus [07:50] nic1: just unzip file.smzip should work. you can always do man unzip [07:50] unzip filename is not working [07:50] I tried to do the devilspie thing, but it didn't do what I wanted it to do [07:50] nic1: what do you get? [07:50] It didn't lock onto the screen, and it had a border [07:50] it was still a window D: [07:51] nic1: why not just use Archive Manager? [07:51] bigsteve: If you're current x config file works right with the wireless keyboard, you may have to bring those settings over to the new config file. Good luck. [07:51] I want to upload a photo in messenger or net and my photos are displayed in the opposite side any clue? why? [07:51] starhash.. you got to be kidding. Good luck?? really. now my system is not going into the set up. Thanks buddy. great job. [07:52] seanicus: It will work completely embedded. What are you trying to embed anyway? a terminal to work in? or a cli program? [07:52] chelz: what is Archive manager? [07:52] nic1: are you using Ubuntu? or Kubuntu? [07:52] !qq [07:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about qq [07:52] I'm trying to embed the terminal to do IRC in [07:52] nic1: also server or desktop? === videl__ is now known as videl [07:52] I don't know what cli is [07:52] seanicus: command line interface [07:52] oh right, heh [07:53] bigsteve: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tiphow-to-removeinstall-and-reconfigure-xorg-without-reinstalling-ubuntu.html You can do this from the command line (non-graphical). === simon_ is now known as Guest69938 [07:53] i think you did a fine job starhash [07:53] by embedded you meant that it is above the desktop image, and below all windows, and cant be moved, right? [07:54] I want to upload a photo in messenger or net and my photos are displayed in the opposite side any clue? why? [07:54] seanicus: http://www.tectonic.co.za/?p=1719 This looks similar to how I remember it working. [07:54] I followed this, btw: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202249&highlight=terminal+desktop [07:54] Wondering how does LVM2 distinguish VG? [07:54] seanicus: right [07:54] chelz: Thanks. One problem is everybody's working blind here, we can't see the computer of the person who needs help. [07:55] Basically is it possible to create the same VG when installing from scratch on a different computer, so that I can later add the existing PV to the PC? [07:55] bigsteve: There's a non-graphical terminal available at Ctrl+Alt+F1 where you can enter these commands. [07:55] noir: you there still? [07:55] starhash: yeah.. ;/ Empathy does have that screen sharing thing i've heard though, ;) [07:55] !netsplit [07:55] ouch [07:55] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [07:56] seanicus: That guide looks right to me. Are you embedding gnome-terminal and starting with the profile? [07:56] seanicus: Or another term such as konsole? [07:56] well, I'm trying to embed it, yeah [07:56] I want to upload a photo in messenger or net and my photos are displayed in the opposite side any clue? why? [07:56] I want to upload a photo in messenger or net and my photos are displayed in the opposite side any clue? why? [07:56] powertool08, err...what about a konsole? Sorry, I am very noobish [07:57] ubuntistas: you might try posting on the forum [07:57] GDMF I HATE NETSLITS [07:57] How can the output of 'cat ' differ from 'dd ' ? I've run sync and ext3 is data=ordered. [07:57] seanicus: What is still showing? Maybe a screenshot could be of use [07:57] powertool08, one coming up [07:57] seanicus: konsole is another terminal program [07:57] chelz where and how? [07:58] ubuntistas: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ [07:58] ubuntistas: in the meantime, you could try using a free image hosting service such as http://imgur.com [07:59] nice forum chelz [07:59] i prefer the second one yep [07:59] powertool08, http://imgur.com/fPbH5.jpg [07:59] oh, and I can move the window around [08:00] seanicus: Is devilspie running? [08:00] it should be. That's why it's transparent, isn;t it? [08:00] oh wait [08:00] hey people, how can I change the file manager which firefox opens when I click on "open containing folder" in the downloads list [08:00] I am running fluxbox window manager [08:00] so maybe the devilspie is running after the other program, powertool08 [08:01] seanicus: I dunno, some terminals have the option for a transparent background but still have borders [08:01] by default firefox uses nautilus with me, but I want to use thunar [08:01] SmokeyD: Would you mind sharing why thunar is better than nautilus? [08:01] chelz that's how are displyed [08:02] starhash: I just want a lightweight file manager. I am not sure whether I am going to use thunar or dolphin yet, but nautilus has a larger memory footprint [08:02] powertool08, well, does the code for devilspie make it invisible? [08:02] seanicus: You might also need to logout/login for it to take effect if you added to your startup programs. [08:02] I did log in and out [08:02] seanicus: It should [08:03] do you suppose the two commands were executed out of order? [08:03] omg for script kiddies [08:03] seanicus: Possibly.

[08:10] Spixx, yes it opens thousands of windows [08:10] frogzoo: its a feature :D [08:10] FloodBot1, i'll try: lalalalalala [08:10] JasseT: i couldn't live without it. [08:11] JasseT: it is, apart from flstudio, reason and foobar2000, that kind of damn great software i live for. [08:12] JasseT: tho those are windows applications. [08:12] freaky[t]: try and use a real IRC client like irssi, otherwise left-click and close group :D [08:12] how do you play jar games on ubuntu? === yacc__ is now known as yacc [08:12] syrius: do you have java installed? [08:12] !rss [08:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about rss [08:12] hey guys...why does 9.10 use a 2D graphics driver for intel chipsets ??? i think my system ran faster/less buggy with an older install like 8.04 [08:13] at least those flood bots have something good: they get people to stop using a stupid IM client for irc. [08:13] Hey, umm, I think that bouceback thing is some kind of virus [08:13] bassliner: yep. gotta love it === sean is now known as Guest76482 [08:13] or worm [08:13] who's in charge? [08:13] has anyone attempted to connect a realvnc enterprise viewer to vino (as in windows computer with the viewer, ubuntu with the server)? i'm getting a "no matching security types" error viewer-side. === Guest76482 is now known as seanicus [08:13] sean: who cares, this is a linux channel :P [08:14] seanicus: It's just people spamming [08:14] I just got DCCed to shit [08:14] Spixx, well, I'm on linux, and something just happened =/ [08:14] I tried to run it but it doesn't do anything Spixx [08:14] Using xchat. How to close all of these? [08:14] gwinbee: try rdesktop? [08:14] Sorry about my language also [08:14] seanicus: it is NOT ANY kind of virus. [08:14] plustax, same [08:14] it opened up a million things [08:14] plustax: did you get booted? [08:14] indeed [08:14] I have java 6 web start installed Spixx [08:14] bassliner, I know that, but I fail with terminology [08:14] seanicus: yes it did. use a real irc client. [08:14] plustax, i killed xchat [08:14] xchat is a real irc client... [08:14] syrius: you have to make the system understand that the app should be opened with the Java engine? [08:15] seanicus: depends on your point of view. for me it is not. [08:15] seanicus, did anyone actually open the file [08:15] bassliner: Please don't troll [08:15] seanicus, i never did [08:15] Is this better? [08:15] Spixx: i'm not sure if i'm using rdesktop or not, honestly. i attempted to set up remote viewing via system->preferences->remote desktop. i was under the impression that that was vino. [08:15] seanicus: it IS a .txt file :D? [08:15] hey, can anyone recommend a REAL SAS card that is pretty cheap? I don't need RAID support onboard, I am going to use software [08:15] everyone: /ignore *!*@* DCC [08:15] it was a txt file, yeah, haha [08:15] Flannel: i don't - i'm just trying to help ppl getting hundreds of popup windows by silly script kiddies. [08:16] it's fine, really [08:16] yay for irssi I guess [08:16] i want to hook up about 12 SATA hds and plug them into a backplane that merges them into an SAS cable [08:16] if it's like last time, they'll do it again [08:16] so set your clients to ignore dcc for the time being [08:16] gwinbee: when I remote I use rdesktop it handles RDP well. [08:17] I switched over to irssi. [08:17] (if it wasn't a virus, what was it?) [08:17] a txt file? [08:17] it's a botnet attack [08:17] do not accept [08:17] just got ddos'd, too [08:17] aperson: can we trust you :P? [08:17] accepting it alone will make you join it, apparently [08:17] aperson: it's AIM, right? [08:17] BOUNCEATTACK.TXT apparantly. [08:17] yeap [08:17] according to the staff in #freenode [08:18] chu_: was that from this channel? [08:18] Spixx: RDP? i don't know what that is, i'm sorry. [08:18] I think so. [08:18] damn bounceattack [08:18] Only have this channel open. [08:18] get ready for the flood in here [08:18] yeah i just got it [08:18] someone mentioned bouceattack recently. Whoever was talking about XYZ [08:18] gwinbee: you are trying to remote against a windows host or? [08:18] Hey. I've never tried Ubuntu, but I'm thinking about it, is it possible to have an instalaltion under 500M when done? [08:18] luckily xchat isn't vulnerable to that attack [08:18] yeah [08:18] chelz: I was just on xchat, silly [08:18] And I still got it [08:18] chelz, it can affect anyone [08:18] Spixx: ubuntu is the server, windows is the client [08:18] Hello! Please advice desktop sharing/screen sharing software for ubuntu 9.04 conference meetings [08:19] Coke:yes its possible [08:19] Coke, no [08:19] r_a_f: under 1G? [08:19] aperson: as a dos or what? i'm pretty sure the bounce attack is supposed to crash a client [08:19] Coke: Most likely, but it depends on your definition of usable. [08:19] it's been going on for quite some time today, apparently [08:19] Ahhh, well that makes it a bit harder. You have a VNC client installed on the windows machine? And a server on the linux server? [08:19] Coke: if you remove a lot, it's better to just have a few gigs free [08:19] chelz, accepting it makes you join the botnet [08:19] there's some file ends with dash(-) (e.g "filename-") and cannot access that file.. (No such file or directory) but rm * is working.. what's that file? [08:19] Spixx: right [08:19] powertool08: well, I have a full office workstation based on arch here with udner 500M [08:19] Coke: ahhh no 15GB is OK ;) [08:19] pastebins of "bounceattack.txt" are already popping up on google [08:19] hah [08:19] chelz, according to freenode staff, that is. [08:19] aperson: how would accepting a textfile transfer make me part of a botnet? [08:19] chelz: so ubuntu is all automagic, I have to install everything it wants and then remove? [08:20] gwinbee: and you get an auth error? [08:20] that's strange [08:20] chelz, it's a flaw with dcc, not your client [08:20] Spixx: also, seriously, #ubuntu is under attack by script kiddies? feels awful 1998 in here :) [08:20] Guys, just ignore it. It's just people trying to cause trouble. [08:20] aperson, chu_: did you get it via AIM, or is this over IRC? [08:20] Hi there [08:20] how can txt file hurt u if it isn't running? [08:20] Coke: if you want a really small linux install, ubuntu might not be the right one for you. look into SLAX, Puppy Linux and Damn Small Linux [08:20] Coke: you can just try it from cd - and not install anything [08:20] gm|lap|oops, irc [08:20] can someone tell me how do i enable intel graphics drivers in 9.10? [08:20] how do I do that Spixx ? [08:20] gwinbee: you *are* on irc *cough* [08:20] Coke: Then if you strip it down quite a bit, maybe. But I can't say for sure. [08:20] gwinbee, it's the whole server, not just ubuntu [08:20] gm|lap|oops: just got it over irc [08:20] network* [08:20] chelz: point taken :) [08:20] chelz: main purpose is not to be small, but I dont need a DE for instance [08:21] Ok, Ubuntu is not for me. [08:21] Thanks guys! [08:21] hi to all .. [08:21] Coke: could try the livecd. also xubuntu. [08:21] Please advice desktop sharing/screen sharing software for ubuntu 9.04 conference meetings [08:21] <_-XPERT-_> Hi All, anyone know off the huawai problems in kermic? chip seems not to work [08:21] how do i turn it off? [08:21] try archlinux [08:21] can i find some one who is pro in metasploit [08:21] Coke: just to get that level of diskspace usage you do need to either roll your own livecd or remove a lot after you install. [08:21] <_-XPERT-_> I have got kernel 31-14 === kj4 is now known as kj4kjl [08:21] Spixx: perhaps i should try a different server ubuntu-side? [08:21] chelz: doesn't help. I need a dist that is about 500M-1G (the smaller the better), I have no need for crap like Gnome or KDE or all the graphical tools, the workstation will only have Firefox and openoffice on it. [08:21] powertool08: I tyed in the two commands "devilspie" and "gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=DesktopConsole" in order in the terminal, and nothing happened [08:22] syrius: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=541055 first reply! [08:22] gm|lap|oops: /ignore *!*@* DCC [08:22] chelz: cheers [08:22] gwinbee: tightVNC server and thightvnc client is a protip :D [08:22] chelz: so bascially, after install I want xorg + compiz + firefox + openoffice and that's it for UI [08:22] So anyone know how 'cat ' can differ from 'dd ' even after a sync and with data not journaled (data=ordered)? :-/ [08:22] it looks that no one know [08:22] Coke: DamnSmallLinux ;) === gm|lap|oops is now known as gm|lap [08:22] r_a_f: does it have all those? [08:22] Anyone running a toshiba nb205 or samsung n110 without problems? [08:22] Coke:yes [08:22] Coke: you're going to be hard pressed to find a distro that only offers that stuff. every distro has more. even the small ones. [08:22] Coke, you could start with the the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [08:22] Coke: check out archlinux otherwise, it is quite nice to use and small :D [08:23] kostkon: good suggestion [08:23] r_a_f: I mean plenty of dists keep that promise of being small, but they all suck ass with their rolling bleeding edge releases OR stone age versions [08:23] i just basically pulled the plug on my laptop [08:23] there's no battery in here [08:23] chelz, ;) [08:23] Spixx: I run it on 6 terminals now [08:23] Spixx: any idea if tightvnc server will be ok with realvnc viewer? [08:23] gwinbee: what type of server do you use? [08:23] Problem is, in the Linux world you have to go with broken or outdated. [08:23] Coke,i must ask why the size limit, with today's storage prices? [08:23] gwinbee: nah sorry :/ [08:23] Spixx: every upgrade is a nail biter for sure [08:23] sean_: I dunno, sorry [08:23] Coke: you can install debian stable and specifically install newer packages from debian testing or debian sid [08:23] okay, thanks [08:23] BBHoss: I'm making a disk image that can be easily copied to terminals [08:24] Coke: sounds like what you want [08:24] ahh [08:24] Coke: I love arch it is simple fast and allways works :D [08:24] BBHoss: and why should I waste my time copying/installing stuff that will never be used? [08:24] hell, get edubuntu and use LTSP [08:24] that's what Windows dudes do [08:24] Spixx: like i said, i honestly don't even know what the VNC server is. it is whatever i access by going through system - preferences - remote desktop [08:24] chelz: yes. I left Debian like 4 years ago when they went insane with their packaging for real [08:24] Spixx: i thought it was vino, but i could easily be wrong. [08:24] Coke: if you're taking the time to do something right, then you have the time to customize an install. you basically could make any major distro do what you want. [08:24] chelz: they dont follow any standards, their packages looks nothing like upstream and their Python policies are just... woah. Overly complex [08:24] gwinbee: VNC is the opensource protocol to remote control computers, all these apps use VNC protocol [08:24] its just a question .. is there is any one hacker here [08:25] m0j4h3d: define a hacker (= [08:25] chelz: I want a good start. Already tried Arch, frugal, Debian, Fedora and some else I can't remember [08:25] computers [08:25] not sites [08:25] m0j4h3d: You aren't going to find metasploit help here. === slv_j is now known as lorien [08:25] chelz: I want NO automagic and NO extra stuff [08:25] this is going to be good [08:25] m0j4h3d: powertool08 is right ^^ [08:25] gwinbee: ahh, now I see, perhaps you need to try and use a standalone VNC server because I do not know what type this is :S [08:25] powertool: [08:25] where [08:25] do i can [08:25] i'm a real hacker. i make stuff. not break stuff. [08:25] Coke, have you tried LTSP, will it work for your solution [08:25] Coke: i suggest looking at the top distros ranked by pageviews on distrowatch.com and take the time to customize them [08:26] Hi... what command do I use to delete the files in a file tree recursively, but leave the directory structure intact? "rm -R" deletes the directories as well - I want to keep the inner directories themselves. TIA [08:26] Spixx: fair enough. in fact, i think i recall using tightvnc for this very purpose a long time ago. [08:26] BBHoss: he might want each terminal to run on its own, without a server always around [08:26] BBHoss: got any url? [08:26] i need one who is professional in metasploit [08:26] now, can someone sneak onto bantown to see if anyone's bragging about it? [08:26] and write exploits [08:26] m0j4h3d: No idea, but #ubuntu is against tools such as those because most people use them maliciously [08:26] m0j4h3d: Then you are not looking for an hacker [08:26] Coke,http://edubuntu.org/UsingEdubuntu look for ltsp [08:26] m0j4h3d: i define them as "crackers" [08:26] am looking for both [08:26] i know that .. crackers .. [08:26] although "script kiddie" is a term i prefer to use [08:27] rlo: find /path/to/directory -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm [08:27] BBHoss: that is utter crap and totally not what im looking for. :) [08:27] gwinbee: yeah, I think that would be simpler. Got the feeling that the ubuntu way is for between ubuntu machines only [08:27] but i need both .. at least one of them [08:27] BBHoss: I already run X remote, why would I need that? [08:27] Spixx looks like I didn't use the right keywords [08:27] m0j4h3d: If you wanna learn metasploit, I think there are various of tutorials to help you with that [08:27] Coke,http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/technologies/ltsp [08:27] Spixx: or realvnc is just a PITA :) thanks though, i'm off. [08:27] syrius: np does it work now? [08:27] i know every thing in metasploit [08:27] installed ubuntu 8.04 on openvz [08:27] basically its ubuntu with everything running on the server [08:27] Coke: by definition, creating a package for a distro is 'modifying' it. so if you really want something that isn't touched, it sounds like slackware is your thing. [08:27] but i have a little question [08:27] m0j4h3d, GTFO [08:27] now there is no resolv.conf [08:27] ok .. [08:27] gwinbee: np have fun [08:27] help please :S [08:27] dunno Spixx will let you know when I try it out [08:28] BBHoss: yeah, that's the sales pitch for morons, I'm a programmer so I know how operating systems work [08:28] syrius: nice :D [08:28] Coke: although the less popular a distro is, that means fewer people are working on it and the longer it takes for security patches to come out [08:28] chelz: I know. [08:28] chelz: it's a bummer [08:28] any way thank to all of you .. thats my email .. : hacker_mjdl_w3d@Hotmail.com ... [08:28] Coke: cest la vie. do what you can. [08:28] alkali147: Whats you problem? [08:28] Coke, well then you also know you can google "LTSP" for for info [08:28] chelz: but Ubuntu is definately not what I'm looking for. [08:28] chelz: Thank you! That works, and is totally unintuitive! ;) But worthy of study. Thanks again. [08:28] m0j4h3d: spend some time on google looking for metasploit support and you'll find a channel soon enough [08:28] BBHoss: I'm not interrested in terminal services [08:28] installed ubuntu on openvz, now there is no resol.conf file [08:28] ubuntu is not up to date on kernels i believe? [08:28] Coke, so you tried Arch linux? [08:28] BBHoss: X already comes with a nice remote usage [08:28] BBHoss: indeed. [08:29] Coke: LTS might work. it's really easy to make your own custom installs. with the whole 'in the cloud' JeOS stuff especially. [08:29] and it works very smooth, the best distro I have ever used for sure [08:29] ok powertool .. thank you . . . [08:29] what the hell is that 94mb txt file someone wants to send me in priv? [08:29] dAnon: malware, ignore it [08:29] Coke, well, if of course starts out pretty small, you could start from there [08:29] BBHoss: problem with arch is rolling releases which require FULL upgrades, not nice in a work environment [08:29] ohh..if some one know how do i let my microphone works in back track 4 .. tell me .. and back track is on ubuntu kernal [08:30] BBHoss & chelz you've been great help guys [08:30] Coke: it is not for production env's for that you run redhat/debian or similar [08:30] chelz: basically, from what I've heard so far Ubuntu is absolutely out of the question [08:30] Coke: i'd recommend trying a customized ubuntu LTS, then if not either centos or scientific linux, then slax, puppy, and dsl [08:30] Spixx: yeh, I'm thinking of switching to debian on the server [08:30] Coke: you can really make any distro work if you are as informed as you say you are [08:30] i actually run freebsd as a desktop [08:31] chelz: well, first up. Ubuntu will take time and space to setup an environment I avbsolutely hate [08:31] netbsd is quite good if you're limited for memory or you'd normally use lots [08:31] chelz: I don't want Gnome or KDE or any of that crap. I don't use HAL. [08:31] chelz: I hate automagic, I tell the computer what to do, not vice versa [08:31] Coke, what do u use then if u dont use gnome or kde [08:31] q0_0p: compiz [08:31] Coke, O_O [08:31] Coke: it works really nice thats for sure [08:31] Coke: as long as you don't do any 3D stuff, and you don't need wireless, and you know what you're doing, then netbsd is a good choice [08:32] hahaha [08:32] Coke, u can run compiz on gnome and kde [08:32] Coke:you can use awesome wm instead of gnome/kde/xfce [08:32] Coke: at least with a distro like ubuntu, everything is out in the open. you can add/remove things as you want. but yeah if you don't want to customize then another distro is the answer. [08:32] gm|lap: mm. i thought about that. but how much time would it take me, it's been like a decade since my last visit on BSD [08:32] Coke, i dont understand u [08:32] Coke: man afterboot [08:32] r_a_f: I dont want awesome [08:32] I want compiz [08:32] the activity in the BSD and linux world is night and day [08:32] right, if you're looking for 3d and you want a bsd, then freebsd is probably a better bet [08:32] Coke: you are joking now [08:33] r_a_f, i think he's joking [08:33] q0_0p: but WHY should I waste time, space, CPU and possible bugs, increase the complexity and decrease maintainability for what? I dont need gnome or kde [08:33] ! [08:33] brb [08:33] Coke, then u dont need compiz? [08:33] r_a_f: no. I don't want awesome, I want compiz. [08:33] q0_0p: yes I do. [08:33] q0_0p: compiz is what I want. [08:33] Coke use terminal xD [08:33] q0_0p: No you don't need compiz! compiz is evul [08:33] q0_0p: compiz is what I'm using, it's the best WM for my intensions. [08:33] Coke: 500mb for system & compiz - man....... [08:33] i know compiz is evil [08:34] r_a_f: have it right here, chatting from it right now [08:34] r_a_f: well, actually, now it's up to like 800M [08:34] I recently installed kde 4.3.2 for ubuntu, it looks great but I can't find an application that lets me browse wireless access points and connect, like in gnome [08:34] r_a_f: but this is my work computer, it will be littered with crap in about a year [08:34] Coke is saying that he runs compiz on neither gnome or kde [08:34] which doesn't make sense [08:34] q0_0p, indeed [08:34] q0_0p: that's because youre a noob [08:34] if icewm worked with compiz, i'd use compiz more often [08:34] q0_0p: What's the problem? All's compiz needs to run is an X session, not a DE [08:35] gm|lap: icewm is a WM, so is compiz, they dont work together [08:35] gm|lap: you have either or [08:35] righty. [08:35] can'thave two window managers at once [08:35] Coke is actually correct [08:35] ah [08:35] jodi123: install and use network manager, like you did in gnome [08:35] compiz is a WM AND a composite manager for X [08:35] soreau, so ur saying i can run compiz with conjuction with fluxbox? [08:36] Coke: so its no problem for you to configure ubuntu [08:36] q0_0p: NO [08:36] Coke: so what's with your aversion to setting up a distro the way you want? i mean ubuntu would take a lot of configuring but you get the bonus of *fast* security updates [08:36] q0_0p: why is it so hard for you guys to understand what a window manager is? [08:36] q0_0p: No. fluxbox is a WM. compiz is a WM. You can only run one WM per X session [08:36] *shrugs* [08:36] My browser has stopped working for some reason [08:36] good luck trying to get security updates through slax [08:36] chelz: debian does the same, but without all the required automagic [08:36] doesn't work Spixx [08:36] syrius: what errors do you get? [08:36] soreau, not true [08:36] u can run multiple WM in an xsession [08:36] syrius: paste them on pastebin :D [08:36] chelz: what is the name of the package? [08:36] i can run a kde and gnome at the same time [08:37] there is no jar file in the jar archive [08:37] and a fluxbox [08:37] q0_0p: they are DESKTOP ENVIRONMENTS [08:37] q0_0p: wrong [08:37] q0_0p: and fluxbox is the WM [08:37] oh [08:37] my bad [08:37] llutz: no, he's absolutely right [08:37] everyone: [08:37] hi [08:37] Very weird, maybe have to do a full reboot [08:37] everyone: /ignore *!*@* DCC [08:37] Be back soon [08:37] q0_0p: I will not argue with you. You can only run one WM in an X session. Period. [08:37] aight cool [08:37] sorry [08:37] is anyone using lucid lynx yet? [08:37] Coke: if talking about WMs, gnome/kde means metacity/kwin, so he's wrong [08:37] llutz: no [08:37] llutz: metacity is the window manager [08:37] Coke: if talking abount DE, hes right [08:37] RT Aperson everyone: /ignore *!*@* DCC [08:37] switchgirl1: #ubuntu+1 and yes [08:37] llutz: gnome is the desktop environment [08:38] llutz: if he wanted to talk about the window manager he'd write metacity or kwin. [08:38] om26er: how is it [08:38] Coke: i doubt those guys see the difference [08:38] switchgirl1: at the moment its just fullyupdated karmic [08:38] The confusing thing is the distinguishing between DE and WM [08:38] llutz: perhaps. [08:38] llutz: but that is very Ubuntu [08:38] Coke: nope, that's linux-users nowadays [08:39] llutz: I've made sure google filters out all answers in Ubuntu forums because they seem unmoderated. [08:39] anyone worked out how to install 9.10 with grub1? [08:39] why? [08:39] pacman69: install it normally then do a grub-install from grub1 [08:39] llutz: and the only place where you can find changes in .Xmodmap to fix ALSA problems [08:39] rofl [08:39] pacman69: synaptic enables you to downgrade grub no? [08:39] Coke: you can configure your installation with soft you need with ubuntu, so no prob [08:40] Spixx http://pastebin.ca/raw/1676141 [08:40] llutz: (AND find a pleased Ubuntu user saying "thanks, changing xmodmap fixed audio in quake") [08:40] thanks chelz [08:40] pacman69: np, gl [08:40] r_a_f: jigdo? [08:40] syrius: have you tried with another jar file? [08:40] Coke: its for debian [08:40] It might be that it is a error In the Jar itself === jimmy_ is now known as _zidane [08:40] r_a_f: but its like it? [08:40] you mean the other jar files on that site? [08:41] syrius: yes, how did you install java? [08:41] Coke: all those cool "i-hate-win" users... [08:41] http://twwk-fun.ru/index/0-6 [08:41] :P [08:41] Coke: there is a program you can configure your own installation of ubu [08:41] llutz: who are those? [08:41] Im at work, I wont go there :P [08:41] r_a_f: yeh, I've been trying to find it in the download section [08:41] why not Spixx ? [08:41] you guys must be 'all over it' cuz I saw the grub menu.lst was a quite different - it uses a config file that is more 'involved' [08:41] it is russian site [08:42] r_a_f: if I can cut away HAL, the DE's, pulseaudio and all that crap in the install it will work nicely for me [08:42] syrius: exactly :p [08:42] Coke: read here, read forums, even in usenet, everywhere [08:42] Spixx: it seems to be a russian forum with a java applet for a game or something [08:42] Spixx: i'm guessing it directed him to sun [08:42] syrius: but it might be a problem with you missing parts of the java support, how did you install it? [08:42] chelz: thx [08:43] Anyway, great props to the community, I'd like to see a mac or windows user pop in 10 minutes on a chat and get the same massive response. [08:43] Shit, they couldn't even get this informed from 1 hour with the official support. [08:43] don't remember Spixx [08:43] Coke: ubuntu is the point of the spearhead of Linux on the Desktop ;) [08:43] chelz: yet it sucks tremendously IMO :) [08:43] syrius: goto java.com and download the install file! [08:44] syrius: reinstall and try again [08:44] chelz: the defaults that is [08:44] Spixx: sun jre is in the repos [08:44] why not from repo Spixx ? [08:44] he should uninstall w/e he installed and install from the repos [08:44] which java should I install? [08:44] syrius: do you still have the file you used to install that java? [08:44] chelz: if I wanted a bloated, overly complex system I'd go with OSX [08:44] but I'm gonna look up with that custom installer thingie [08:44] Coke: yeah yeah yeah, i GET that ubuntu isn't for you. but but mom n pops it is. [08:44] Trying to write a bash script to run a few commands (like copy my fstab, sources.list, and output sudo dpkg --get-selections etc), but it's not letting me create variables... What am I doing wrong? [08:44] dunno [08:44] syrius: then use the repos, I allways get it from source when I can but it is fully up to you :D [08:44] chelz: my mom used slackware [08:45] chu_: pastebin [08:45] Coke: and who set it up? [08:45] Coke: haha :P I agree [08:45] chelz: I did. but once it was setup it worked for 5 years without one single problem [08:45] it is a game for sony ericsson Spixx put there is one for on pc that is the one I downloaded Spixx [08:45] I want to play the game with some russian buddies [08:46] Coke: i'd bet you'd have the same experience with an ubuntu LTS. [08:46] I don't have sony ericsson [08:46] chelz: but I'd rather spend ONE hour setting it up than TEN hours trying to figure out if there's a bug in one of the GAZILLION HAL scripts or if Xorg has added yet another "feature" to disable ctrl+alt+backspace [08:46] Coke, sorry about this, but: [08:46] !ot | Coke [08:46] chelz: no. because then they'd have to use gnome or kde which both suck ass, are so complex that you HAVE to be a programmer to understand their fundamentals [08:46] Coke: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:46] umm, we're going to need some ops in here quick [08:46] Why is there no django updates in ubuntu where there is a exploit floating around? [08:46] there's some spam bots running around [08:46] ah yeah [08:46] and they're most likely going to come in here [08:46] Coke, anyway, hal is becoming obsolete. [08:46] syrius: did you ever go to sun.com? [08:47] syrius: well it should be fairly simple but the errors that came out of this was to few :P it looks like it was a error stemming from you not having full java support [08:47] kostkon: really? [08:47] I think I installed java from the rescricted extras package Spixx [08:47] hal was replaced in 9.10 iirc [08:47] chelz, http://pastebin.com/m41983dc4 [08:47] kostkon: finally. :) [08:47] Coke: Really. You are right but you've overstepped the boundary now. [08:47] Coke, yeap. now we have devicekit [08:47] syrius: then it shouldnt be any problems :P [08:47] Coke: Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [08:48] but I still recommend that you try and install the package from java.com [08:48] but I'm not sure :P [08:48] soreau: sounds interesting, but i dont have the time. gotta find that ubuntu customizing thing [08:48] is there a j2me for ubuntu? Spixx [08:49] hi, im on ubuntu 9.10 how can i make sure that my usb stick gets mounted with read/write support for my user (it actually gets only mounted with read only) [08:49] syrius: do you have a 64 bit system btw? [08:49] chu_: the spaces around the =s are the issue [08:49] chu_: SRCS="/etc/apt/sources.list" instead [08:49] hi [08:49] chu_: http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_03_02.html [08:49] silidan: are you in the right groups like optical and so on? [08:50] hi, don't have a X window, need to burn iso image from the command line, how to do it in karmic? [08:50] syrius: http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp [08:50] Hah, thanks chelz [08:50] silidan: do you know what filesystem it is formatted to? [08:50] no Spixx I have 32 [08:50] jongbergs: wodim -dao file.iso [08:50] ah, does the java check give you "aok" :P? [08:50] cheiz: yes i formated it with gparted to ext3 [08:50] llutz: do i need to specify the path to cd writer device? [08:50] jongbergs: You can use growisofs also [08:51] jongbergs: should work without [08:51] hi guys. [08:51] chu_: np, gl also these might help: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ and http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide [08:51] Spixx: cant find a group called optical [08:51] jongbergs: growisofs for dvd [08:51] !hi | aseko [08:51] aseko: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [08:51] how can i add an desktop icon on utu netbook rmx? [08:51] chu_: then the definitive http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html [08:52] silidan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26433 [08:52] llutz: how would you set the writing speed and does it support burn proof? [08:52] it says I don't have latest version Spixx [08:52] jongbergs: man wodim [08:52] syrius: then download the installer from the site and try again :D [08:53] llutz: thanks, i'll consult the man page.. [08:53] chelz & co: thanks! appreciate the time [08:53] great and i fi plug in a new usb stick i got the same problem again.... isnt there a solution that mounts all usb drives with read/write support for my user? [08:54] ciao [08:54] silidan: you probably don't have the required permissions to interact with it. whenever you have this "cannot write" issue run "chmod `whoami`:`whoami` -R /media/thevolume" [08:54] !list [08:54] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » === YDdraigGoch is now known as WelshDragon [08:54] « /msg ubottu !bot » [08:54] silidan: unfortunately there's no way to ignore file permissions on a file system for mounted filesystems. i recently encountered this problem myself with one ext3 and one hfsplus formatted volumes [08:54] mocoloco: fail? need help? [08:55] lol, oops [08:55] silidan: in the future formatting to a filesystem that doesn't have permissions might make more sense for your usage cage. either FAT32 or NTFS fits that. [08:55] DoctorDiaharea, hi [08:55] DoctorDiaharea, hi [08:56] chelz, o thats great... [08:56] chelz, o thats great... [08:56] !hi | mocoloco [08:56] !hi | mocoloco [08:56] mocoloco: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [08:56] DoctorDiaharea: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:56] mocoloco: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [08:56] <|newbie|> ciao [08:56] silidan: yeah, it's a strange situation ;/ [08:57] cheiz: why doesnt ubuntu fix the basc functionality, but instead concetrates on just looking nice... [08:57] silidan: that's actually a pretty core issue that all linux distros share. it goes beyond what ubuntu's focus is atm. fat32 and ntfs work for pretty much all use cases for removable media so there's not really an incentive. [08:58] ok fill reformat to fat32 then [08:58] Hi all [08:58] chelz: ntfs works only with ntfs-3g for users [08:58] hello [08:58] cheiz: thanks [08:58] Spixx where should I cd to? To install java... [08:58] what directory would that be on ubuntu === crunchbang is now known as Guest80125 [08:58] hmm most often Desktop [08:59] but it depends on where you dled java to :S [08:59] llutz: yes but Linux / OS X / Windows all at least support reading it, which can't be said for any other FS than fat32, and someone would probably be using ntfs over fat32 if fat32 didn't work for some reason. [08:59] is there anyone here running Karmic on VirtualBox? [08:59] mw mw [08:59] me me [08:59] the 2 gnome panels dont look good in ubuntu :( i dont like it :( i also dont want docks - is there any panel alternative or a way i can make the panels look cool or smth.? [08:59] chelz: fat32 isn't bad for removeable media, if you can live with its limitations [09:00] freaky[t]: you could look into Gnome Do. or different ways to theme gnome. fedora comes out with a lot of neat themes. [09:00] llutz: agreed [09:00] hey, i just disabled autologin on my crunchbang linux pc, and now i everytime i restart i just see "Authorization failed", anyone know whats wrong? [09:00] Mintal, you have Karmic installed as a VM? [09:00] chelz, gnome do also has docky which is also a dock panel [09:00] spmething with the authorization ? [09:00] anyone know how to change the log in manager theme for ubuntu 9.10 ? [09:00] in xubuntu the panels look better [09:00] Guest80125, #crunchbang for support [09:00] i have ubuntu 8.04 and a fairly old ati vision teck with video out, the video out works up to the login screen, how do i get it to work after loging in? [09:00] yes [09:00] okay thanks [09:01] anom01y: the login manager is called "GDM" and you can find themes for it at gnome-looks. google will get you there. [09:01] I have to many window managers installed and the default is gone, Im stuck with a basic xfce looking theme [09:01] ok [09:01] thanks chelz [09:01] ill go take a shower now bbl [09:01] * om26er says new gdm don't support theming [09:01] Mintal, do you happen to know how to get it to allow 1024x768 resolution? [09:01] yet [09:01] oh, that's news to me [09:01] well, it supports theming, there's just no fancy ui and large list of themes [09:01] anom01y: might have to track down some tutorials on theming the latest version apparently [09:02] anom01y: 9.10 uses gdm2, no themes, no config, ... [09:02] freaky[t]: you could make the panels transparent [09:02] stevo: you could try loading a livecd of a more recent ubuntu version to see if the problem has been fixed. you can upgrade then if a later version works. [09:03] Odo, sono qui [09:03] heh the user amount is "1337" [09:03] aww just missed it [09:03] !it [09:03] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [09:03] llutz, chelz , weird cause just after I upgraded It had a theme that looked really cool [09:03] l'adattatore wifi va tranquillo su una qualsiasi delle prese usb [09:03] mirco, /join #ubuntu-it [09:03] Hey. How to stop karmic from asking passwords when mounting ntfs partitions...? [09:03] but after my second reboot it dissapeared (something I did maybe ?) [09:03] !it | mirco [09:03] hey guys my screen is stuck in what looks like 320x200 mode, it happened when i tried to play a game in fullscreen that since crashed [09:03] mirco: please see above [09:03] how can i add a desktop icon in ubu netbook rmx 9.10? [09:03] thanks chelz [09:03] how do i fix it? (without restarting or logging out:D) [09:03] stevo: i hope that works [09:04] using gedit, im writing java code. with the plugins enabled there is a panel for shell output. is there a way to get the java code im wrinting to output into that shell output area? [09:04] anom01y: the login manager for 9.10 is a newer version of GMD, and there's not yet an easy way to change it's look :( hopefully that will change for the next release [09:04] anybody else know how to get Karmic to accept 1024x768 resolution? I tried "gksudo displayconfig-gtk" but it doesn't seem to work in Karmic. [09:04] Why do I need su to cp my sources.list? [09:04] Help...! [09:04] frittmann, what video chipset? [09:04] how the f*ck do i fix my messed up resolution? [09:05] cwillu: I'm using VirtualBox, so it is not a physical video card. [09:05] chu_: because apt-configs are owned by root [09:05] banisterfiend: does rebooting not fix the issue? [09:05] banisterfiend: oh.. [09:06] banisterfiend: if you can get to the resolution options in System then you could try doing it from there [09:06] Spixx doesn't work [09:06] :( [09:07] chelz: you are now my girlfriend. It worked. :D [09:07] what should I do? [09:07] banisterfiend: gnome-display-properties [09:07] frittmann, install the guest utilities [09:07] anom01y: http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/09/hack-karmics-gdm-login-screen.html - this should allow you to theme things [09:07] cwillu, thanks, should have thought of that! [09:07] from terminal or ALT+F2 [09:07] Well, I just did it with sudo, so it asks for a password, but it's only copying, and I just copied a file from /etc/ (fstab) without su... [09:07] Hey. How to stop karmic from asking passwords when mounting ntfs partitions...? [09:07] banisterfiend: gj. keep using ubuntu and tell your friends/family. :) [09:07] Now to write a restore-script though [09:07] chelz: ill tell them about my new gf too. [09:07] chelz: ;) [09:08] ch_: you need the proper permissions to write to system areas, but not to read from them, because there's less of a chance of breaking a system by just copying something out, rather than in [09:08] chu_: you need the proper permissions to write to system areas, but not to read from them, because there's less of a chance of breaking a system by just copying something out, rather than in [09:09] moin [09:09] frittmann: german? [09:09] frittman: u have to use vboxmanage with additional params,,very easy to use [09:10] I guess today it's my turn to have issues with Ubuntu :) [09:10] how can i add a desktop icon in ubu netbook rmx 9.10? [09:10] bigmack83__: eventually getting into using Eclipse might be good, if you plan to be writing java code for a while [09:11] I had two SATA hdd's in my desktop and needed to remove one ... now grub loads and sees all entries but Ubuntu will not boot [09:11] I get to Initramfs [09:11] bigmack83__: you could navigate to the place you are saving your java code and interact with it like you would interact with any file through a terminal also [09:11] That's what I thought chelz, it's just a backup script which copies fstab and sources.list to my /home/Backup folder (different partition), but it needs su privs to cp /etc/apt/sources.list ~/Backup/sources.list [09:11] chelz, yea i have eclipse setup for java already. but the book im reading for school recommends doing it by normal text editor first to learn to not make mistakes that a IDE autofixes for you [09:12] above it says "Gave up waiting for root device" [09:12] asekoo: germanic-hungarian, but I was raised in New Zealand. [09:12] !resetpanels [09:12] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [09:12] is there a way to turn off dcc in xchat [09:12] chelz, yea true [09:12] and a little below it says "ALERT! /dev/sdb4 does nto exist." [09:12] chu_, what's the output of ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list [09:12] anyone know how I can repair this? [09:12] U-b-u-n-t-u: /ignore *!*@* DCC [09:12] zetheroo, was it a raid? [09:12] thanks [09:13] zetheroo: you removed sdb but want to use a OS on it? [09:13] WelshDragon: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2592 2009-11-14 16:54 /etc/apt/sources.list [09:13] cwillu: nope [09:13] zetheroo, you removed the disk that has the os installed on it then [09:13] llutz: I did not remove the drive that Ubuntu is installed [09:13] i formated an usb stick to fat32, then i mounted it copied my stuff on it. i unplugged it, i plugged it in again, files show up, but i dont have write acces!!! WTF IS WRONG??? [09:13] cwillu: No I didn't [09:13] anyone know why usplash might disappear and comes back twice during boot? [09:13] zetheroo, yes, you did :p [09:13] on karmic [09:13] zetheroo: then sdb bacame sda now, change grub/fstab to use UUIDs [09:13] cwillu: I removed the secondary drive [09:14] chu_, Hrm, permissions on the file are fine. If ~/Backup/sources.list is owned by root, then you'll need root permissions to overwrite it, when you backup. Perhaps that's the problem? [09:14] llutz: how? [09:14] zetheroo, the error says it can't access the drive the os is isntalled on [09:14] anyone else get this in here dRUl863A4kShXq56 has offered BOUNCEATTACK.TXT (100000000 bytes) [09:14] or just me? [09:14] llutz: what is UUID's? [09:14] Ahh, that's definitely more likely. [09:14] Yooooo [09:14] bigmack83__: personally i'd recommend using the normal system terminal rather than one that's inside gedit, just in terms of getting used to ubuntu tools [09:14] cwillu: yes ... does not mean I removed it :) [09:14] zetheroo, or your fstab is screwed up and referring to physical device names instead of uuids [09:14] Nah, I was getting it earlier U-b-u-n-t-u [09:14] chu_: that's all part of the permissions on a file that you can see by doing "ls -l" on any file [09:15] zetheroo: use a live-cd, "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid" shows you your UUIDs [09:15] cwillu: sounds more like it [09:15] chu and ignoring dcc's will solve it? [09:15] llutz: ok booting from live CD [09:15] napster: i'm trying to find an answer, since i would like to know how to do that too, seems difficult [09:15] or u can use blkid [09:15] hey this drives me really crazy, ubuntu 9.10 usb stick no write support (fat32) after unplug and plug in again, how come? any help? [09:15] !ubuntuone [09:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntuone [09:15] usplash shows, flips to console messages, flips back to usplash, again to console, back to usplash, now x login. What might make this happen? [09:15] U-b-u-n-t-u: we all got it. that's how to fix it. [09:15] zetheroo, sorry, I generally assume that people didn't shoot themselves in the foot, which is a habit I should break :p [09:15] zetheroo, blkid [09:15] ok [09:15] chelz: :) lol [09:15] !ubuntu-one [09:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-one [09:15] q0_0p: ? [09:16] Anyone know how to make a wireshark capture filter to catch DNS packets only? [09:16] cwillu: no worries :) [09:16] how to format 4gb usb flash drive in ubuntu? [09:16] powertool08: filter port 53 [09:16] silidan: now that is really strange. is it being automounted? [09:16] w00t, WelshDragon, that was it exactly, cheers man :) [09:16] ununt: you need Partition Editor installed, it can do it [09:16] chelz: yep [09:16] chu_, You're welcome :) [09:17] llutz: the "blkid" tool also shows UUIDs [09:17] is there anything better than tomboy notes for ubuntu? [09:17] llutz: is that the exact syntax? I tried 'port 53' for the filter string and it said wrong syntax. [09:17] chelz: i know [09:17] freaky[t]: i personally use Zim Desktop Wiki, but that's me [09:17] powertool08: no, use wireshark docu [09:17] chelz how to check the assigned device of my usb flash drive, what command should i enter? [09:17] llutz: i prefer blkid since it says the drive/partition it's associated to [09:17] chelz, hm ok thank you [09:17] ununt: "mount" (without quotes) [09:18] llutz: I did... and it gave me a syntax error. Are DNS packets udp only? or tcp & upd? [09:18] freaky[t]: there are many note organizing programs out there though [09:18] freaky[t]: nope :P, really though what features do you want? look at "getting things gnome" [09:18] silidan: would you mind pastebining the output of "mount" without quotes? [09:18] good morning [09:18] Howdy [09:18] powertool08: "port 53" should work [09:18] llutz: ok I ran that command and got the list [09:19] llutz: Its not working for me :( [09:19] Since I installed karmic, it does not recognize my laptops cd/dvd drive [09:19] what can I do? [09:19] how do i increase laptop's lcd screen brightness from the cmd line? [09:19] mocoloco, ok thank you im installing it right now [09:19] llutz: I created a new filter, the filter name is DNS only and the filter string is port 53. [09:19] chelz but my usb drive did not show up using mount command [09:19] llutz: ah and its sda4 now ... not sdb4 .... should I change that? ... Can I chnage that? [09:19] chelz: "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid" does it too. blkid needs "blkid -g" from time to time, so i decided to use ls [09:20] llutz: ah [09:20] ive just put a USB card reader into my pc, with a SD card, how do I know what that is, either dev/sda or dev/sdd? cheers [09:20] Were can I get XVid codec for linuc? Does anybody know [09:20] chelz: http://pastebin.com/d7c54c4b3 [09:20] llutz: When I try to start the capture, wireshark says the string looks like a valid display filter, but isn't a valid capture filter. [09:20] chelz: many ways for one task, you have the choice :) [09:20] quick question: LDAP == Active Directory done right? [09:20] how can i install alsa driver on ubuntu? [09:21] llutz? [09:21] Spixx, LDAP is not Active Directly iirc [09:21] Spixx, active directory is a ldap inspired thing [09:21] nic1: normaly thats done by installing alsa i think [09:21] AdvoWork: "mount" (without quotes) in a terminal [09:21] Spixx, it's almost ldap, basically :p [09:21] chelz but my usb drive did not show up using mount command [09:21] mocoloco, is there any applet for gtg? for the panels oO [09:21] ahh kthx, can one sync an LDAP against an AD? [09:21] ununt: have you tried unplugging and plugging it back in? [09:22] silidan: how can i check if i have alsa driver or not? audio does not work on my machine [09:22] vagothcpp: apt-get install libxvidcore4 [09:22] chelz, ok, what would that do? [09:22] zetheroo: you need to fix your /etc/fstab-entry. use a live cd [09:22] AdvoWork: it would list all mounted stuff [09:22] llutz: I am in my live cd session [09:22] nic1, what "aplay -l" gives you? [09:22] chelz, that did it, thankyou [09:22] AdvoWork: cheers :) [09:22] llutz: I did the command you told me to do and get the reply [09:22] mocoloco, Thanks bro [09:23] nic1: audio not working can simply mean volume turned off in the mixer, you can see if alsa is installed by simply looking into synaptic [09:23] what can I do to make karmic recognize a cd/dvd drive on a HP/Compaq 6910p? [09:23] freaky[t]: no panel applet yet, it's in the works [09:23] llutz: by the way, grub is trying to boot to sdb4 and its now sda4 ... do you know how I can change that? [09:23] zetheroo: mount your ubuntu-partition to /mnt, "sudo nano /mtn/etc/fstab" and change the /-entry to the UUID of /dev/sda4 [09:23] mocoloco, ah ok thanks ;D [09:23] nic1: also often there is a switch in the mixer to use either4 digital output or analog, so you may try it there.. [09:23] llutz: I already have it mounted [09:24] zetheroo: mount your ubuntu-partition to /mnt, "sudo nano /mtn/boot/grub/menu.lst" and change the root-entry to the UUID of /dev/sda4 [09:24] chelz yes but the output are the same with or without the usb flash drive [09:24] silidan: when you view your usb disk in nautilus, and say right click and try to create a new folder, what happens? [09:24] zetheroo: if not using grub2 [09:24] llutz: well this is Karmic .. so its grub2 [09:24] ununt: have you tried multiple usb ports? [09:24] zetheroo: if you use grub2: no clue how to change anything there [09:24] mocoloco, how do i display tasks i have marked as done? [09:24] chelz: i cant its greyed out [09:24] llutz: ok thanks [09:24] anyone know how to edit grub2? [09:25] silidan: is there any kind of write protect toggle on the drive itself? [09:25] zetheroo: update-grub maybe to scan for changes (just a guess) [09:25] kostkon: aplay -l says card 0: Interl [HDA Intel], device 0:ALC268 Analog, subdevices..... [09:25] chelz yes same output result [09:25] chelz:where shall i look ? rights for /dev/sdb? [09:25] silidan: i mean on the physical usb stick [09:25] silidan: where do i see that analog/digital output? [09:26] ununt: nothing appears on your desktop? no new icons? [09:26] nic1, ok. eh, what ubutnu ver do you have? [09:26] chelz maybe i need to use gparted instead? [09:26] kostkon: 9.04 [09:26] chelz exactly [09:26] ununt: sure, having gparted open could help [09:26] ok bbl [09:26] thanks [09:26] ununt: verifying that the drive works with another machine would also help [09:26] mk [09:26] nic1, ok. eh, you should check your volume levels then. [09:26] hi, how can I ' and " in bash alias? [09:26] nic1: in youre audio settings i think... but i realize now... i cant find the mixer app in ubbuntu 9.10 anymore... [09:26] freaky[t]: view > closed tasks pane. you have to expand it from the bottom [09:27] nic1, right click on the speaker in your tray [09:27] mocoloco, ah ok lol thanks [09:27] kostkon: i am in text mode for debugging purpose for a problem..can you tell me the command instead of icons? [09:27] chez: no no such thing on the usb stick itself [09:28] nic1, right away ;) give: alsamixer [09:28] cwillu: I stuffed up the Linux Guest Additions install for VirtualBox. I installed it before installing dkms, now it is not working at all. Any way to undo this? [09:28] napster: still there? [09:28] kostkon: all are high in alsamixer [09:28] nic1, sure? [09:28] kostkon: yes sure. [09:29] silidan: is there any read/write protect toggle or switch on the physical usb device itself? [09:29] frittmann, boot from a livecd image and fix the root image from there, or any of the usual ways of fixing a broken install [09:29] chelz no there isnt [09:29] cwillu: thanks! :) [09:29] nic1, try pressing F4 [09:29] frittmann, I'd expect the recovery boot to still work though [09:30] silidan: are you member of group "plugdev"? [09:30] kostkon: in F4 press, front mic and one capture are high, other capture is low [09:30] nic1, also try pressing your right arrow key [09:31] silidan: sudo usermod -a -G plugdev `whoami` [09:31] i increased that to high [09:31] llutz: yes i am member of plugdev [09:31] nic1, to scroll through the volume levels [09:31] nic1, you may see more levels appearing [09:31] silidan: nvm my comment then [09:31] silidan: this is a longshot, but it might work. in GParted go to the drive, then go to Devuce at the top and click on "Create Partition Table" [09:31] I'm installing xubuntu. Where in the filesystem does firefox do most of it's internal work when running? ( /usr ; /home ?) It's horribly slow when I installed to a lousy mlc ssd so I want the files it works with on a faster sd card. [09:31] kostkon: input so is there, but not able to increase level in that [09:32] nic1, ok. make sure that nothing is muted [09:32] for anyone that doesnt already know if you got hit by the dcc sends /umode +C and /umode +E will help along with /ignore *!*@* DCC ctcp [09:32] nic1, i mean the "mute" option is not checked [09:32] wow, beware, we may have some flooding in here [09:32] ##linux just got it bad [09:32] alazyworkaholic: ~/.mozilla but i suggest installing something like "preload" before relying on an SD for speed incrases [09:32] nic1, oh, my bad! [09:32] kostkon: what happened? [09:32] nic1, sorry. i always forget about ut [09:32] aperson: the bots in here are pretty capapble [09:33] kostkon: ut?? [09:33] chelz, I know, just warning [09:33] thx [09:33] nic1, i suppose you are now seeing the software volumes provided by palse [09:33] chelz, are you in ##linux ? holy crap [09:33] kostkon: palse? [09:33] nic1, sorry. exits alsamixer and now run it like this: alsamixer -Dhw [09:33] nic1, pulse → pulseaudio [09:33] exit* [09:34] hey alsamixer and pulse are diff right? [09:34] they just had 65 bots in there [09:34] but yeah... I'm not helping, so I'll be quite now :) [09:35] nic1, yeah. don't worry abou the deatils now. run it like this to access yourt hardware voluems: alsamixer -Dhw [09:35] alsamixer -Dhw just gives me the page like alsamixer gave [09:35] after a fresh install of karmic from a usb pen, karmic does not recognize my dc/dvd drive. Is there a way to force karmic to recognize the dc/dvd drive? [09:36] nic1, ah ok then === Sam__ is now known as whater [09:36] nic1, alright. you are in debug mode or something? [09:36] yes [09:36] nic1, then pulse is not running. ok [09:37] chelz: /home eh? That's a problem. the sd card is only 2GB. The (horribly pathetically slow) ssd is 16 GB. It's not possible to boot off the sd directly. I want /boot on the ssd, /home on the ssd, the rest on the sd, & the tricky part is I also want ~/.mozilla on the sd drive, but that's not an option during install. Any idea how I might accomplish that? [09:37] anybody else experiencing DCC flood attacks in this channel? [x]DCC SEND from wCJLYHq7I [64.233.169.105 port 80]: BOUNCEATTACK.TXT [95MB bytes] requested in channel #ubuntu [09:37] everyone: /ignore *!*@* DCC [09:37] cirkit, yes [09:37] Not anymore though :P [09:37] When I press ctrl + C in terminal a character ^C is printing ..... In Ubuntu 9.04 this combination is used to cancel the prompt and get new prompt ..... Why it is like this ..... I like the old case ... how can I set that . .. ?? [09:37] kostkon: alsa also is not working right? not playing audio stil [09:38] nic1, how do you test? [09:38] i have a video, gives sound in other machines, but not in req machine [09:38] alazyworkaholic: install like normal, then, with firefox closed, do "mv ~/.mozilla /media/sdcardname/ && ln -s /media/sdcardname/.mozilla ~/.mozilla" (without the quotes) [09:38] is there a shortcut to shut down X? [09:38] cwillu: thanks for the advice, it didn't find any errors on the disk, and is still not working. I think I'll just reinstall the OS. [09:39] alazyworkaholic: that moves it to the card and makes a link to it on the card [09:39] nic1, hmm [09:39] chelz: Cool, thank you! [09:39] and when i try a playing a .wav file online, when i try playing that it give mpeg1 decoder not found error [09:39] frittmann, there's no automatic fixer, you were supposed to boot from the live image and chroot into the root and fix things :p [09:39] alazyworkaholic: gl :) [09:39] nic1, that seems to be a codec problem [09:39] brijith: i'm pretty sure nothing has changed. are you sure you are using it for the same things? [09:40] cwillu: I'm only a beginner with this, so not sure how to do all that. Might be easier for me to just reinstall. [09:40] cichlasoma, ctrl+alt+backspace [09:40] chelz: I m sure [09:40] chez: still same problem [09:40] can i delete and install it? [09:41] I just updated my linux kernel on a virtual machine running Ubuntu. When I rebooted, I needed to reconfigure vmware tools to get my network card back. The trouble is, that requires the linux headers, which I don't have, and I can't download them without a NIC. :D [09:41] Catch 22... any ideas? [09:41] brijith: you are correct, just a moment [09:41] cwillu: I'm only doing this to learn with, it is not a production system, so it is not a major issue. [09:41] nic1, you oucld install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package [09:41] kostkon: how can i istall that? i mean exact command? === jc is now known as Guest35776 [09:41] nic1, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [09:42] chez: i did what you said, i created dos partition table made new fat32 partition, plugged out plugged in, ok, copied file on it, pluged out plugged in, read/write acces with thunderbird, plugged out, plugged in again no write acces... [09:42] frittmann, so you want to learn how to chroot and fix things on a production system that actually matters? :p [09:42] frittmann, forgive me if I don't hire you :p [09:42] Hi everybody, sorry for my english [09:42] chelz:are you getting the same thing out there ... [09:43] kostkon: installing [09:43] nic1, ok [09:43] frittmann, it's not hard, and it'll give you insight into how the system is actually put together; enough that you'll gain a comfort in putting systems back together from broken pieces lying on the floor [09:43] kostkon: with that can we expect sound to work? [09:43] !hi | Nidaylokn, [09:43] Nidaylokn,: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [09:43] Can u help me? I'm having troubles with ubuntu 9.10 [09:43] brijith: no but it seems others are. have you installed all updates? [09:43] cwillu: good point! okay, I'm eager to learn. [09:43] nic1, at least will fix your codecs problem [09:44] silidan: that is *really* strange [09:44] nic1: all you can expect are possible solutions... no guaranteed solution, if that is what you search i think arch linux is more in that direction... [09:44] you would seriously have to wonder why grub2 is being used ??? [09:44] frittmann, from a livecd, this should mostly work: mount /dev/whatever /mnt; mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev; mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc; mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys; chroot /mnt [09:44] Can u help me? I'm having troubles with ubuntu 9.10 [09:44] chelz:yes is up to date [09:44] silidan: so now unplugging and plugging it in at all has no write access? [09:45] yep [09:45] frittmann, from that point, you should be able to do pretty much anything you could do from a recovery prompt, including bringing up the system normally (with the exception of the kernel, obviously) [09:45] chelz: yep [09:45] Shit [09:45] brijith: please make a pastebin of the output of the command "stty -a" (without the quotes) [09:45] chelz: crazy, i plugged out and in again, now i have write acces [09:45] !ask | Nidaylokn [09:45] Nidaylokn: 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. :-) [09:45] zetheroo, because grub 1 is abandoned by upstream, for some time now [09:45] Ok [09:46] chelz but thunderbird cant use it anymore... [09:46] I can change sdb to sda in the grub menu and the system boot fine ... but of course the change is not saved ... hurrah for inovation [09:46] silidan: how are you using it with thunderbird? [09:46] cwillu: when you say a Live CD, I assume that means the option "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer". Is that right? [09:46] silidan: that may be a "fix", just plugging it in and out until you get write access. you might make a forum thread on it. if it really is a bug it should be found and reported. [09:46] frittmann, yes [09:47] I want to configure wifi in my ubuntu [09:47] which has been detected automatically [09:47] zetheroo: within grub is not the time to make changes, editing the configuration the files is how [09:47] by it [09:47] Ubuntu 9.04 [09:47] when i click restart or type sudo reboot my ubuntu 9.10 pc shuts down instead. can you please help me ? [09:47] zetheroo: editing those within grub is only for booting a borked machine [09:47] I want to do it manually by [09:47] cwillu: booting it up now. [09:47] removing network-manager-gnome [09:47] chelz: well before it was menu.lst and now its what? [09:47] macromike: what is the model number for your computer? [09:48] Dell Inspiron 1440 [09:48] zetheroo: "update-grub"? [09:48] zetheroo, a maze of twisting conf files, all alike [09:48] zetheroo: i am not sure. i still have to learn about grub 2. i recommend consulting the grub 2 documentation [09:48] chelz: i coppied my backup of my thunderbird portable on the stick and set my profiles to it, first launch thunderbird reads all fine and checks for e-mails no problem, i turn off thunderbird, plug out, plug in no write support, and thunderrbird complains about security issues.. [09:48] i have an IBM Thinkpad T60 model 1951-BT2 [09:48] chelz: i read through the docs but there is no definitive answer [09:48] chelz: http://pastebin.com/m7ca7bcf1 [09:48] zetheroo, what are you trying to do? [09:48] llutz: that is only used after editing the config files ... :( [09:49] zetheroo: "grub.cfg: new configuration file for GRUB 2 (replaces GRUB Legacy's menu.lst)" from http://grub.enbug.org/ [09:49] zetheroo: shouldn't that call the os-prober to find other installs? my bad, sry [09:49] cwillu: I just need to change a single darn letter to get the system to start up with out me having to edit it every time I boot [09:49] chelz: wait it only looked like i have write support, on trying to delede things it revealed i still dont have write support again, so thats why thunderbird complains [09:49] chelz: yeah ... but you cannot edit that file [09:49] hi , anyone know a program to count my project line in ubuntu ? [09:49] silidan: can you create things? how do you copy thunderbird portable if you don't have write support? [09:50] !rs [09:50] Molimo udjite u #ubuntu-rs za pomoc u vezi sa Ubuntuom na srpskom jeziku. [09:50] silidan: is perhaps this in a truecrypt volume of some sort? [09:50] HOwcome each time I restart my Ubuntu machine it forgets Samba shares... but when I use shares-admin they are still there, but in Nautilus they are not? [09:50] r3za: wc -l. do "man wc" (without the quotes) [09:50] zetheroo, is this an upgrade or a fresh install? [09:50] brijith: try doing "ping 127.0.0.1" then do ctrl+c [09:50] llutz: well yes ... but its useless at being inovative in itself ... if it looks through the config files and detect an issue it can do nothing about it [09:50] brijith: and pastebin what happens [09:50] cwillu: fresh install [09:50] chelz: what ? can u tell step by step ? [09:51] zetheroo, /etc/default/grub I believe [09:51] r3za: it will tell you how many lines there are in a file [09:51] chelz: like that wc -l. do "reserve" [09:51] chelz: this is the funny thing: formatting to fat32 plug out plug in -> rw -> copy files to it ok -> plug out plug in -> acces with thunderbird ok -> quit thunder bird plug out plug in -> read only [09:51] chelz: i want line counter in folder ... [09:51] cwillu: I have the Live CD booted up and I'm in a Terminal window [09:51] zetheroo, actually, a simple update-grub should redetect the drive names [09:52] silidan: fat32 has no permission support so i'm really not sure what would cause this permission issue. unless there's a truecrypt volume with improper permissions or similar thing in the mix. [09:52] chelz: http://pastebin.com/m11a0b72f [09:52] cwillu: nope to both ... sorry [09:52] chelz: i want line counter in folder ... [09:52] r3za: please try to say what you want a different way [09:52] chelz: i never ever had somethign to do with truecrypt as far as i can remember [09:52] r3za: do you want to count how many items are in a folder? [09:52] chelz: you can see a ^C is in it .... [09:53] zetheroo, I don't understand how you've got anything using raw device names in the first place; the default install has used uuid's for years now [09:53] chelz: i want to count all file in a folder .. [09:53] brijith: that is the same way it look for me. that is normal. [09:53] cwillu: well that is what I thought as well [09:53] r3za: including dotfiles or just visible? and do you want the total data amount or the item count? [09:54] how setup unrealircd auto start on restart ubuntu? [09:54] cwillu: ok ... I changed perms on the grub.cfg file ... and edited it ... rebooted and its working [09:54] cwillu: so much for the documentation .. it would be so simple if they said that that is all you need to do [09:54] chelz:1 minute I will sent you the out of same thing from a ubuntu 9.04 mechine [09:55] cwillu: your first instrction was "mount /dev/whatever" how do I know what "whatever" is meant to be? [09:55] chelz: no , just visible ( i have a project in php lan , and i want to know line count ) ... [09:55] cwillu: but I am curious as to why my system is not using UUID's [09:55] zetheroo, the permissions didn't screw themselves up :p [09:55] silidan: you might check if the output of "mount" changes between when you first get write support after formatting then after you plug it in [09:55] is there any good download manager for gnome which integrates into firefox? oO [09:55] r3za: you want to know the line count for all files in a folder, including subdirectories? [09:55] freaky[t]: DownThemAll! or FlashGot [09:55] chelz: yes [09:55] frittmann, /dev/whatever is whatever the partition device is for the root drive [09:56] frittmann, probably /dev/sda1 [09:56] cwillu: should they have? [09:56] chelz, hm thank you :) [09:56] i have an IBM Thinkpad T60 model 1951-BT2. when i click restart or type sudo reboot my ubuntu 9.10 pc shuts down instead. can you please help me? [09:56] cwillu: thanks. Don't assume I know anything and we'll get along fine. :) [09:56] zetheroo, run "pastebinit /boot/grub/grub.cfg" and give me the link [09:57] freaky[t]: i also recommend JDownloader for oneclick sites, but it's not endorsed by ubuntu at all [09:57] chelz, hm ok thank you [09:57] chelz: check http://pastebin.com/m4d63a20e [09:57] frittmann, every piece of hardware currently usable in your system is reflected as a device file in /dev somewhere [09:57] Hey I keep getting xchat attack any idea how I can prevent this? [09:57] cwillu: its really nothing though ... no big changes ... just changed a single letter in 3 places [09:57] brijith: what is not right there? [09:58] How do i enable KMS in 9.10?\ [09:58] chelz: how can i do that ? [09:58] r3za1: just a moment [09:58] chelz:in the pastebin I sent just now you can few blank prompts at the end [09:58] disappearedng: /umode +C and /umode +E will help along with /ignore *!*@* DCC [09:58] sheytan, buy a computer with intel integrated video :p [09:58] chelz: sure [09:58] pastebinit is a nice tool :D [09:58] chelz:tell how to get those [09:58] sheytan, the driver support isn't quite there for ati, and is a ways off for nv [09:58] cwillu: got one ;p [09:58] :) [09:58] brijith: either just pressing enter or ctrl-c [09:59] sheytan, then you should already be using it [09:59] cwillu: after install it doesn't work. did even x updates-nothing ;/ [09:59] ok thx chelz [09:59] zetheroo, I saw the bit where you said its fixed, I just want to see what it's actually doing [09:59] sheytan, define 'doesn't work' [09:59] r3za1: are they all .php files? [09:59] chelz:that what I am saying when I press ctl + c I am getting http://pastebin.com/m6079c2c7 [10:00] cwillu: I just used File Browser to look in /dev but there is no /sda anything in there. [10:00] cwillu: can't enable desktop effects [10:00] chelz: .php .css .html [10:00] sheytan, that's a different problem [10:00] cwillu: I just changed all the entries of sdb to sda .... :) [10:00] r3za1: are there any other files in the folders besides those? [10:00] sheytan, kms has nothing to do with acceleration [10:00] zetheroo, could you just pastebin the file? :p [10:00] brijith: oh that's strange. well just pressing enter will have to do i guess. [10:00] cwillu: sure [10:00] cwillu: can you help me with it anyway? [10:00] zetheroo: you probably should use UUIDs whenever possible [10:01] chelz: what ? dear chelz i cant understand english well [10:01] cwillu: this is me on the desktop now [10:01] sheytan, sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [10:01] cwillu: I would really like to ... no idea how though [10:01] r3za1: in the folders, are there any files you do not want counted in the line count? [10:01] zetheroo, sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit /boot/grub/grub.cfg [10:01] chelz: I usually press ctl +c to cancel the prompt that having some commads typed partially [10:01] cwillu: its coming mate :) [10:02] * cwillu stamps his feet [10:02] r [10:02] brijith: well now you'll see that ^C and know you pressed it, so it's kind of informative [10:02] chelz: no , i want count all file [10:02] cwillu: http://pastebin.com/m3719d709 [10:02] chelz: i dont want count images [10:02] chelz: :D [10:03] sheytan, thanks, one second [10:03] cwillu: ok [10:03] chelz:oky [10:03] cwillu: haha ... here you go then :) http://pastebin.com/m97b3f79 [10:03] kostkon: download done [10:03] chelz: this procedure is reproducable, thunderbird fucks up my acces to the usb stick, no write support (besides editing of files i created), and there is no change in the mount output [10:03] silidan, watch the language [10:03] chelz:another doubt.... do you know how to install turbo gears [10:04] nic1, ok [10:04] bazhand: ok thunderbird beats the shit out of my usb stick [10:04] Hi. A quick question about cron. I used it with success in 8.04. Now in 9.10 I have zero joy, no matter what I try. No task I set up will run. Is there a showstopping problem with cron in 9.10?? [10:04] chelz:in Ubuntu 9.10 [10:04] r3za1: mk one sec [10:04] silidan, no cursing at all; please desist [10:04] sheytan, anything odd about your setup? could you disable (sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.off) your x config file and try it again? [10:04] sheytan, (will require a restart) [10:04] chelz: sure ... [10:04] silidan: yeah that is some kind of crazy bug [10:04] Hi there, can I start live CD without any X? I need only console. [10:05] chelz: im back in a second ...

[10:06] oh noes [10:06] wrong chan [10:06] wireless to be specific. [10:06] chelz:two weeks ago when I tried i got that error [10:07] chelz: ok , im here [10:07] brijith: http://groups.google.com/group/turbogears/browse_thread/thread/6dde3a2eebc478fb [10:07] cwillu: this is the error message I am getting... "mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" [10:07] r3za1: i almost have it [10:07] chelz: i am not sure can this be caused by the usb stick beeing used before as a bootable device with ubuntu live on it? [10:08] cwillu: http://pastebin.com/mf64a107 [10:08] frittmann, do "ls /dev/sd*", and pick one that seems reasonable [10:08] frittmann, if it doesn't work, try another that seems reasonable [10:08] anyone know how to prevent a partition from auto mounting on boot? [10:08] cwillu: back in 2 min :) [10:09] I looked in fstab and it's not even listed ! [10:09] cwillu: i'm back and ... nothing ;/ [10:09] sheytan, give me a fresh pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [10:10] sheytan, this isn't a multimonitor setup is it? [10:10] chelz:thanks ....

[10:11] r3za1: make sure you put in the proper path to the dir [10:11] anyone know how to prevent a partition from auto mounting on boot? [10:11] pacman69: remove it from /etc/fstab [10:11] chelz: can you explain more detailed that dd-ing zeros thing [10:11] sheytan, what happens if you run "compiz --replace"? [10:11] pacman69: or just remove "auto" [10:11] pacman69: no partion automounts until you set it to in fstab [10:11] cwillu, I went through all of them. It didn't let me mount /dev/sda5 as it is the swap partition, everything else came back with the same error message as before. [10:12] hi, how to check what is turn on that causes http://localhost says "It works"? I can't find apache process and binary, lampp is stopped. What else could it be? [10:12] frittmann, what's the exact command you're typing? [10:12] cih997, lighthttp [10:12] silidan: dd writes directly to a device. so for example you could do "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=1M count=1" to write 1 megabyte of zeros to /dev/sdx [10:12] chelz: sure [10:12] it's not listed in fstab! it's appears as '%', it's from a oracle vm install (ocfs) [10:12] cwillu: how to check if it lighthttp? [10:12] cwillu: I'm typing "mount /dev/sda1" without the quotation marks. [10:12] silidan: what is arch linux? [10:13] pacman69: you might try checking with the oracle folks since that is pretty custom [10:13] nic1: in that case better not conider it [10:13] nic1: yet# [10:13] cih997, type "lsof -i -P | grep :80" then you know the process id, then you can do "ps aux | grep " and you know which process it is [10:13] no worries chelz! Thanks! [10:13] nic1: it's a linux distribution other than ubuntu. [10:13] pacman69: good luck. that custom stuff is hard to decipher sometimes. :) [10:13] tkmsr: still there?

[10:19] silidan: that very well could be. i've seen stranger things out of dying flash drives [10:19] chelz: please check your im [10:19] silidan: you could try copying an ubuntu iso over then verifying the md5 [10:19] r3za1: i got it ;) [10:20] Hello folks. Anyone knows how to delay compiz launch at boot in Karmic, because the splash fading effect is affected by compiz. I know, I'm shallow... Thanks [10:20] Vampire_, cwillu: thx for help, it was Firefox and its cache ... ;) [10:20] cwillu: I used "sudo mount /dev/sda1" and it came back with "mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /media/6d6f8498-5af8-41e6..." [10:20] chalz: thanks for the hint didnt think about that again [10:21] I'm trying to boot from a ssd while keeping / on a non-bootable sd card.

Is that part necessary? What would change if I ran only update-initramfs? [10:21] frittmann: have you tried unmounting /dev/sda1 ? [10:22] A question for all of ubuntu gurus... [10:22] frittmann, so substitute /media/6d... for /mnt in the rest of the lines :p [10:22] cwillu: aren't you ready to give up on me yet? :) I've been running Linux for a total of two days now.

[10:25] any ideas ? [10:25] is it Ubuntu developers fault or badly written driver interface? [10:25] chelz: my posts still show up grey [10:25] it should be all possible to set via interface if we want Ubuntu to be "for people" [10:25] Doh! Never mind. Chelz: Thanks [10:26] I installed Ubuntu on both my parents notebooks [10:26] anarcap: :) [10:26] I have a question about flash plugins. (I'm new to linux/ubuntu) [10:26] dAnon: parents should be using LTS releases [10:26] why so? [10:26] anarcap: when you try to watch a flash video it should walk you through installing what you need [10:26] dAnon: because they are the most stable [10:27] luciash: are you sure you still need them? [10:27] chelz I think 8.04 is a bit too old and could not support some things [10:27] gonna wait for 10.4 with that [10:27] wtf happened? [10:27] i noticed VGA and LVDS changed to VGA1 and LVDS1 but it didn't help... the result is "black screen" on both with mouse cursor on VGA1 and reduced horiz space to some 200px of movement and i cannot get back other way than system hard-reset [10:27] Someone knows why the fading effect after login is ugly and delayed when Compiz/Effects are enabled and how to fix it ? Thanks a lot. [10:27] i bring my computer out of sleep and I have 9999999 DCC requests trying to send me bounceattack.txt [10:27] dAnon: parents don't always need 'the latest'. but yeah their call. [10:27] ;_; [10:27] cwillu: http://pastebin.com/m503462fe [10:28] luciash: have you tried a livecd and/or not using the script?

[10:28] chelz: how can i achieve that without xrandr ? i get the same unusable screens when i just connect external monitor without even launching the script [10:29] sheytan, it's possible to force it on anyway, but you're playing with fire then [10:29] I'm running ubuntu 9.10 x64 (love it). I have the version of firefox that came installed w/ ubuntu 9.10 (3.5.5 w/ updates). I installed the flash plugin for x64 bit at the adobe website (.dev package). It installed fine, and I can watch flash vids, but they tear a lot. Movies play fine with no tearing, but flash vidoeo tears on hulu, youtube, etc. I was wondering if I should uninstall the adobe flash plugin and install flash another w [10:29] ay. (Maybe like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1259102) [10:29] dAnon: some tools aren't applicable to a certain install. these are bugs and need to be worked out. you could try making a brainstorm item for this. [10:29] dAnon, nvidia's driver can't be integrated into our tools in any sane fashion. For any other setup, (well, probably not fglrx either), the admin tool works perfectly well [10:29] luciash: where did you get the script? [10:30] cwillu: will take a search, thanks [10:30] cwillu: it's a school pc ;/ [10:30] chelz: i wrote it myself... worked perfectly in Jaunty [10:31] chelz: i have hp mini with intel graphics here if that matters [10:31] I've been reading about flash on ubuntu all over the ubuntu forums and elsewhere, and it seems like there are at least 3 or 4 different ways and different plugins for flash. What about restricted extras, or gnash, or medibuntu (or whatever it's called)?? [10:31] is there some bug introduced regarding intel graphics in karmic ? [10:31] anarcap adobe sucks on linux, I love 9.10 64bit too, so bloody fast :D [10:31] anarcap: try removing the adobe version and installing the one in the official repos [10:32] chelz is there a 64bit flash plugin in repos? [10:32] dAnon: I hate flash, wish I didn't have to use it for hulu. [10:32] anarcap, just do "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras". If that doesn't work, then investigate the other options [10:32] luciash: oh, well i was going to suggest consult the place you got the script from. if not using the script means the monitor is unusable, then yeah i guess you have to fix the script [10:33] anarcap: run that after uninstalling adobe's flash [10:33] cwillu for some reason ubuntu-restricted-extras doesn't contain flash player [10:33] in 9.10 [10:34] i'm on 8.19 [10:34] chelz: i just noticed only using the xrandr to list the current setup works but trying anything else with xrandr results in both screens unusable :( [10:34] 8.10* [10:34] how long do i have to upgrade? [10:34] chelz. How do I go about uninstalling my current flash plugin? The one I downloaded from adobe? [10:34] nass [10:34] anarcap rename it or move somewhere/delete it [10:34] anarcap: check adobe's site for uninstall instructions [10:34] alguien controla el aircrack-ng? necesito ayuda con la inyeccion de pquetes === PhantomLink is now known as PL|Snoozing [10:35] seems it's not trivial to fix... i will try dig harder on the net if i can find some alternative for Karmic [10:35] hi, someone can help me with aircrack-ng ?

[10:47] why does opera not work with flashplugin alternative [10:47] ? [10:47] EvaLuaTe: you could try testing it on other machines to see if it's specific to your ubuntu machine [10:47] as i know 8.10 or 9.04 i386 did not work in amd64 computer. [10:47] can someone tell me if it is possible to use opera to watch embedded flash videos, I can watch videos on youtube but not if they are embedded else where, it works fine in firefox but i would prefer to use opera. i have the flash plugins installed including the restricted extras [10:47] qdb: they did [10:48] chelz: I do have a libflashplayer.so in my downloads directory (USERNAME/downloads). I believe I linked the libflashplayer.so to firefox via some command in order to get it working. [10:48] thank you, llutz [10:48] !welcome [10:48] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [10:49] thanks ubottu [10:49] i think but amd64 ubuntu disk do not work in i386 computer, is it so, llutz [10:49] qdb: right [10:49] chelz: but, what really made me wonder, was the fact that it starts at around 14-15MB/s and stays there for a couple of minutes (1-2GB) and just then it starts decreasing. I guess the drive speed shouldn't be the problem in this case, as it can very well support fairly high speeds over a couple of minutes... [10:49] thank you [10:49] chelz: I have a bunch of libflashplayer.so files on my machine after doing "locate: [10:50] as it turns out, I do have a mozilla/plugins dir. [10:50] chelz: my mozilla/plugins dir is under /usr/lib [10:50] chelz: should i delete all instances of my libflashplayer.so ?? [10:50] anarcap: those are systemwide.. you can also just mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins and move it there.. will work just as well [10:51] When I plug in a firewire camera ubuntu (jaunty) creates a /dev/raw1394 device however it is root:root as opposed to root:video where can i set it such that in the future the device is created with group video?

Delete them all? PS. is there a command I can use to delete all of those files system-wide? [10:52] hi, i just made myself an ubuntu 9.10 64bit usb live system with unetbootin, the problem is i need to verify the integrity of this thing how can i do this? (it boots directly to the live session) [10:53] llutz: Ta, i looked in /etc/udev/rules.d but there was no pre-existing rule for it, do i have to create one manually? [10:53] BeardedChimp: i think so [10:53] chelz: sorry, still learning CLI :( [10:53] chelz: ok, i'll try that. If the speed should be higher than the actual transfer speed i'm experiencing now, is there anything I can do to get nautilus to transfer at those speeds? [10:53] anarcap: sudo rm `locate libflashplayer.so` [10:53] I cannot find safe mode of rescue mode when booting up from 9.10 [10:53] anarcap I recommend you to download GNOME Commander :) It is easier to work on files with graphical interface :P [10:53] EvaLuaTe: nothing that i know of. everything is set to make transfers as fast as your machine can handle. :) [10:53] How can I change what speed my CPU runs at in Karmic? Interested in saving a little battery life perhaps :)_ [10:53] chelz: i just made myself an ubuntu 9.10 64bit usb live system with unetbootin, the problem is i need to verify the integrity of this thing how [10:54] dAnon: Thanks, I will DL it now.

[10:57] luciash: perhaps write a script that does your options, then resets them after 30 seconds [10:57] cwillu: no need to grep, netstat -tu does that [10:57] !rs [10:57] Molimo udjite u #ubuntu-rs za pomoc u vezi sa Ubuntuom na srpskom jeziku. [10:57] dAnon - Yeah, I'm looking at it now. But can I do a rm on a file that has multiple copies system wide? "rm libflashplayer.so" ? Or would I have to navigate to each instance of the file and delete each one by hand. In that case the GUI would be slower, right? === Xero is now known as Guest14079 [10:57] xirong: "man adduser" or use useradd [10:58] anarcap: sudo rm `locate libflashplayer.so` will do it [10:58] I wonder if anyone can help me...I cannot stream WMV in my ubuntu package?? [10:59] chelz: Yeah, I know, I caught you earlier. dAnon was telling me about GNOME commander. [10:59] luciash: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-enabledisable-ctrlaltbackspace-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic.html [10:59] I can play the same videos within the same webpage on my Windows and Mac machines, but not Ubuntu [10:59] xirong: adduser seems to be what you want. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/add-a-user-on-ubuntu-server/ [10:59] legend2440: he says even the magic sysrq keys aren't working, so i'm assuming his kb just doesn't work [10:59] Hi... in /etc/apt/sources.list, what's the difference between "universe" and "multiverse"? TIA [10:59] chelz: oh ok [10:59] chelz: yep, but i fear that even my script commands aren't applied as i think about it more... because it happens after few seconds i connect the vga cable i first thought it is the script which i launched a second later... but probably it was just some delay [11:00] rlo: universe is community maintained free software (open source), multiverse is community maintained non-free software (usually closed-source) [11:00] legend2440: i have it already but it doesn't work after i connect the external monitor... my keyboard is not usable anymore [11:01] chelz: it appears that adobe air also uses this file... npwrapper.libflashplayer.so to be specific. Couldn't delete that one. [11:01] tsimpson: thanks [11:02] anarcap: that's fine [11:02] interesting, I have a problem [11:02] can someone tell me if it is possible to use opera to watch embedded flash videos, I can watch videos on youtube but not if they are embedded else where, it works fine in firefox but i would prefer to use opera. i have the flash plugins installed including the restricted extras [11:02] just install flash from the official repos [11:02] chelz: how can I update my locate database to check to make sure I delete all of the instances of libflashplayer.so? [11:02] vesper_: the opera web site has no mention of a way to fix that issue? [11:02] every day about this time my servers gone down, on the logs it shows bounce attack, using ftp, file being sent to me over irc etc.. [11:03] anarcap: unless you installed any in the last day, you got them all [11:03] vesper_ : what about dailymotion.com? [11:03] anarcap: to update your database you run "updatedb" though [11:03] chelz: No, I installed the libflashplayer.so like 4-5 days ago. [11:03] chelz: I've had a look and I can't see anything, I am not partilcularly computer savvy though so i could have missed something. I shall look again [11:03] Why is the server so slow? [11:03] chelz: How long does it take to updatedb?? Should I bother doing it now? [11:03] i didnt know ubuntu can be taken down like this [11:03] chelz: "sudo cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep VGA" gives me some idea... i will try disable EDID [11:04] bradpitt: yes i can view that fine in opera [11:04] How does that encrypted home directory in Ubuntu work? [11:04] vesper_: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-opera-web-browser-in-ubuntu-including-flashjava-plugins.html [11:04] X-Seti: it's not ubuntu, it's the server your client is connected to being flooded [11:05] Ascavasaion : what server? [11:05] X-Seti: you just need to set some simple settings [11:05] How do I enable KMS on the radeon driver in Karmic? [11:05] X-Seti: /umode +C and /umode +E will help along with /ignore *!*@* DCC [11:05] !encrypted| yacc [11:05] yacc: For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [11:06] chelz: +C and +E won't help at all [11:06] thanks chelz, I tried that already and it doesn't seem to have worked [11:06] chelz: those only block messages sent directly to you, not to a channel (which is how these attacks are done) [11:06] tsimpson: doesn't hurt [11:07] chelz, its not only the ircd i run, its the other services, ftp and ssh are being hit too [11:07] theirs an exploit in the ftpd [11:07] epinky, so what happens with programs accessing my home directory when I log out? [11:07] dAnon: How long does updatedb take? [11:09] How to get the names of users on my system...? [11:09] currently logged in [11:09] napster: "w" [11:09] napster: "users" (withouts quotes" [11:09] i created a live usb via unetbootin and, latest live gave me the 10.04 installer - tad annoying also when i try to install restriced it stops and claims theres another system processs running [11:10] Dream-Ubu: try rebooting [11:10] sipior: chelz I mean trough all protocols telnet,ssh...will those work..? [11:10] yacc: when you logout pam-encfs will unmount your homefolder using encfs and all the files saved here will be encrypted. "more /usr/share/doc/libpam-encfs/README" [11:11] napster: yes. [11:11] chelz: i did n it didnt work :P [11:11] epinky, so all long running stuff needs to be outside of the /home directory. [11:11] sipior: chelz Thank you :) 'w' is much verbose...ty [11:11] I wonder if anyone can help me...I cannot stream WMV in my ubuntu package through Firefox?? I have installed xine, and the restricted package, but still no go?? [11:12] Hi to all [11:12] Dream-Ubu, 10.04? [11:12] bazhang: unetbootin - latest live [11:12] epinky, another thing, ecryptfs is setup inside pam, right? (I ask that because I tend not to use Gnome nor the other mainstream desktop environments.) [11:12] !hi | luckymurali [11:12] luckymurali: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [11:12] Dream-Ubu, you surely mean 9.10 [11:12] fully transparent proxy howto [11:13] bazhang: it gave me the installer for 10.04 (probs just the GUI side) but, yeah confusing [11:13] shajiprabhakar: squid [11:13] yes [11:13] ibus sometimes cannot start, what can I do? [11:13] yacc: well not "inside" I prefer to say "behind" PAM [11:13] How cam I freeup my Memory(RAM) [11:14] *can [11:14] behind? [11:14] please tell me [11:14] inside a PAM module? [11:14] chelz: I successfully deleted all of the instances of libflashplayer.so (except for adobe air version). THANKS!!! So, now I just install flash from the repository? Which one? Restricted Extras? PS. Is restricted extras the same as multiverse? [11:14] luckymurali: ? [11:14] luckymurali, open a terminal and type top ; see what is using ram [11:14] bazhang: if you dont belive me make a live disc, it gives the 10.04 [11:15] sherlyturangan [11:15] Dream-Ubu, I did just the other day and got 9.10 [11:15] yacc: http://www.tuxradar.com/content/how-pam-works [11:15] bazhang: this was 2 days ago [11:15] fully transparent squid proxy howto [11:16] hey guys do i have to install anything to get the ability to ssh into my machine or is all that installed by default with the base install? [11:16] anarcap: i'm not sure about the repos, but yeah you just install flash player in synaptic [11:16] Hi, pls help : http://paste.ubuntu.com/321439/ [11:16] !squid [11:16] jcrawford: you need to install ssh [11:16] squid is a caching proxy for the Web. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquidGuard See: http://www.squid-cache.org [11:16] chelz, any specific packages? [11:16] jcrawford: just "ssh" [11:17] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Squid shajiprabhakar [11:17] ok installing now [11:17] napster: tinyproxy might be something easier to setup, if its a simple proxy you want [11:17] jcrawford: also might think about running a firewall, or ssh on a nondefault port, or some kind of portknocking, or only allowing publickey auth [11:17] http://pastebin.ca/1676271 [11:17] chelz: flashplugin-nonfree or flashplugin-installer ?? nonfree is the "transitional package" [11:18] chelz, i have my router which only allows certain ports to this machine :) [11:18] hi all [11:18] thanks bazbang [11:18] thanks ubottu [11:18] cwillu: Which flash plugin should I install? From synaptic, or another? [11:18] Here I am not able to find which application is taking more RAM [11:19] Has anyone tried gnash for flash? [11:19] anarcap, ubuntu-restricted-extras will install the right one [11:19] tomodachi: Its not me shajiprabhakar [11:19] anarcap, gnash is making progress, but it's nowhere near 'just works' [11:19] If I run update manager, and its offering a partial upgrade, should I do it? Would it be safe by now? :p [11:19] luckymurali, open a terminal and type top and take a a look [11:19] karmic is not detecting my cd/dvd drive on a HP/Compaq 6910P. What can I do to have it detected? [11:19] anarcap: try flashplugin-nonfree from synaptic [11:20] cwillu_at_work - are the restricted extras the same as the multiverse repo? [11:20] bazhang,I did like it [11:20] anarcap, yes [11:20] but no application is taking this much of RAM [11:20] luckymurali, and what were the culprits, ie those using most ram [11:20] anarcap, ubuntu-restricted-extras installs flash, java, mscorefonts, and some other odds and ends, [11:21] anarcap, oh, and codecs :p [11:21] there is no application taking greater than 250 MB of RAM [11:21] luckymurali, are you using compiz [11:21] some Cache I think [11:21] cwillu - zvacet - chelz - Thanks. Giving it a shot...hope it plays without tearing. I believe I already have a buttload of codecs installed (I did that through CLI after I installed 9.10) [11:21] anarcap: ubuntu-resrticted-extras is metapackage witch install java,flash,fonts... search for it in software center [11:22] ok what is compiz [11:22] ?? [11:22] !compiz | luckymurali [11:22] anarcap, next time just install ubuntu-restricted-extras, it'll install basically everything extra you typically need [11:22] luckymurali: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [11:22] luckymurali, the desktop effects, such as wobbly windows and the like [11:22] !compiz [11:22] zvacet - according to software center I already have Ubuntu Restricted Extras installed. [11:22] ok [11:23] Checking for Xgl: not present. [11:23] xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log [11:23] anarcap, then you should already have flash installed, unless you deleted something by hand :p [11:23] cwillu_at_work - Looks like I already have restricted-extras installed - according to software center. [11:23] when i type compiz i m getting the message like this [11:23] Anybody that know how to restart gnome quickly?. I don't think it's normal that the volume control applet takes 565.1mb of ram =) [11:23] anarcap, in a terminal, run: sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-installer [11:23] anarcap: then you should have flashplugin-nonfree installed to chech in synaptic [11:23] luckymurali, how much ram do you have total [11:23] * GB [11:23] hey dudes wsup [11:24] cwillu_at_work - according to package manager I DONT have flashplugin-nonfree or flashplugin-installer installed. [11:24] 8GB [11:24] luckymurali, how are you [11:24] Its telling 4GB used [11:24] luckymurali, and how much is being used [11:24] I may have installed the restricted extras minus flashplugin [11:24] anarcap: install it then [11:24] anarcap, that's not possible :p === aksci is now known as thedancingdeer [11:24] Argos, fine [11:24] anarcap, packages don't let you pick and choose their explicit dependencies like that [11:24] great [11:24] luckymurali, are you using 32bit or 64bit ubuntu [11:25] 64 bit [11:25] anyone in here a Gurun in ubuntu?? [11:25] server version [11:25] 9.04 [11:25] Guru [11:25] Argos, ask a question; if someone knows they will answer [11:25] anarcap, feel free to keep poking me, although I may not respond too quickly === pagiz^off is now known as pagiz [11:26] bazhang,Is it bug??? [11:26] ok.. [11:26] luckymurali, is what a bug [11:26] :) [11:26] cwillu_at_work: I had problem with ubuntu -restricted-extras it doesn't install java so I think something is going on with that package [11:26] releasing Memory [11:27] cwillu_at_work - Thanks. I can assure you synaptic says I DO NOT have flashplugin installed, and Software Center has a green check-mark by Ubuntu Restricted Extras [11:27] iam getting a this message.."Amd unsupported drivers" [11:27] zvacet, the package doesn't do anything, it just depends on other packages. I can assure you that it does install java, unless you've installed something else beforehand that claims to fill that dependency (in which case I have little sympathy for you :p) [11:27] What's the difference between running /usr/sbin/update-initramfs & /update-initramfs.distrib? [11:28] bah, make a liar of me. They're using 'recommends' instead of proper 'depends' [11:28] cwillu_at_work - "Ubuntu restricted extras is installed on this computer. It is used by 1 piece of installed software" [11:28] Hello, does anybody know if there exists a comparision of the radeon and radeonhd driver that is of the current status? [11:28] anarcap, bah, make a liar of me. They're using 'recommends' instead of proper 'depends' [11:28] beers for the person who get its right..ehehe [11:29] sorry DC [11:29] anarcap, try "sudo aptitude --with-recommends install ubuntu-restricted-extras" [11:29] Why is the server so slow? [11:29] Shit [11:29] !ohmy | Ascavasaion [11:29] Ascavasaion: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [11:29] cwillu_at_work: I know what I'm talking about I'm not new in Ubuntu and for the first time ubuntu-restricted-extras didn't install all packages I installed java from synaptic after that [11:29] cwillu_at_work -- Ok, here goes. [11:29] zvacet, anarcap, try "sudo aptitude --with-recommends install ubuntu-restricted-extras" [11:30] friends romans ubuntu gurus lent me your ears... [11:30] zvacet, anarcap, bah, make a liar of me. They're using 'recommends' instead of proper 'depends' [11:30] Argos, please stay on topic and explain what you are trying to do. [11:30] cwillu_at_work : ... Done [11:31] cwillu_at_work : Thanks! I'm going to test it now [11:31] ive installed ati drivers in ubuntu..and ive got this message "Amd unsupported drivers watermark bottom right of screen? [11:31] cwillu_at_work - should I have shut down firefox first? [11:32] Does anyone have a fix for Firefox not streaming WMV through flash in Karmic? [11:32] bazhang,abiba@ubuntu:~$ sudo echo1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [11:32] bash: /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches: Permission denied [11:32] mikebeecham: if its through flash then its a flash issue [11:33] cwillu_at_work - Firefox says "Additional plugins are required to play all of..." [11:33] hi all. can someone help me with networking? i have an install of ubuntu, but can't ping the gateway... or anything..... i *think* everything is setup right, but obviously something is off, because it doesn't work... [11:33] ip address, broadcast, gateway are right, and routes are added [11:33] ping 192.168.1.1 [11:33] and netmask [11:33] cwillu_at_work -- PS. I did mention I'm running 64bit right? (I don't know if that matters at this point.) [11:33] exit [11:34] ping times out [11:34] talntid: tried traceroute [11:34] ActionParsnip: ok, so this is getting me closer...is there anyway I can get wmv through flash to play? [11:34] ActionParsnip, hi [11:35] mikebeecham: not sure, you can convert the files to flv [11:35] no traceroute, can't install it... [11:35] What's the difference between running /usr/sbin/update-initramfs & /update-initramfs.distrib? How can I verify that /boot/initrd.img-* has been made to include mmc_core mmc_block sdhci and sdhci-pci? [11:35] this is a fresh install [11:35] talntid: can from your install cd ;) [11:35] yeah [11:35] ActionParsnip: I just want to be able to get onto a website, click 'play' in the embedded video window and watch what it plays!! [11:35] but i don't imagine a traceroute will show much [11:35] talntid: add the CD as a software source, you can then install the app [11:35] it can't even ping the gateway [11:35] which would be the first stop [11:36] mikebeecham: not sure, could be a flash based thing to connect to a vlc / mplayer stream (maybe) [11:36] talntid: indeed [11:36] cwillu_at_work - should I have shut down firefox first? Firefox says "Additional plugins are required to play all of..." [11:36] hi there [11:36] I've got the link for the video ActionParsnip and have put that into both MoviePlayer AND VLC, but still nothing [11:36] anyone knows how to lock all the entries in grub2? [11:36] ricdanger: just never install any other kernels [11:37] this is so odd... [11:37] ricdanger: you can pin the version of linux-image and you will never get a kernel update [11:38] join #blackmetal [11:38] mikebeecham: no, you play the video normally in vlc etc, then you will need to code a flash based app to connect to the stream (if you can find one) [11:38] iam getting this message " Amd unsupported hardware watemark" [11:38] ActionParsnip, I want to lock the entries. Not lock the default. I don't want anybody to edit my entries and get root access when they like [11:38] mikebeecham: if your flash is working and you want to connect to a wmv / flash stream then it is down to the streamer to configure it right [11:38] cwillu_at_work - should I have shut down firefox first? Firefox says "Additional plugins are required to play all of..." - flashplugin-nonfree and flashplugin-installer are not installed stlil [11:38] hello. is there grub reinstaller in ubuntu 9.10 alternate as it was in 9.04. and is grub different for 32 and 64 bit processor: can i recover grub of 32 bit installation with 64 bit alternate cd or recover grub of 64 bit installation with 32 bit alternate cd? [11:39] Any ideas people? [11:39] ricdanger: grub changes when you get a new kernel, thats the only time it changes (or when you remove one) [11:39] ActionParsnip: that sounds like's going over my head...what would the streamer be in this case...the website? [11:39] ActionParsnip, I want to LOCK editing. Like the "lock" thing on grub-legacy. [11:39] ricdanger: i see, not sure, i'd look in this link: [11:40] !grub2 | ricdanger [11:40] ricdanger: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [11:40] no, nothing there [11:40] Hey, Why can't I install VLC Media Player from the LiveCD? I know it will be destroyed but thats not a problem for me atm [11:40] mikebeecham: yes, its their responsibility to make it work, if your flash is ok then its the streamers deal, flash is flash [11:40] I can't even undestand how canonical ships a grub that doesn't allow locking editiing [11:40] ActionParsnip: ok [11:40] anybody can get to my pc, edit the entry and get root [11:40] it doesn't help, but thanks ;) [11:40] ricdanger: they can using recovery console option, then choose root [11:41] ActionParsnip, grub-legacy supports password protection on that entries. grub2 does not support that [11:41] ricdanger: log a bug then [11:41] this is not a bug. it's a feature. regression on grub... what a nice move [11:41] cwillu_at_work -- pokin' ya again. [11:41] ricdanger: you can use grub1 if you wish [11:41] no savedefault, no lock, no password protection :( [11:42] Does anyone know how it is that I have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed by not flashplugin-nonfree or flashplugin-installer ?? [11:42] ActionParsnip, yeah... I know. But I actually like some features of grub2 [11:42] serious problem help needed, this morning i boot up my ubuntu and the windows no more have to buttons to maximize, minimize like that [11:42] anarcap: dpkg -l | grep flash will show you [11:43] mrXX: that is the windows decorator, are you using desktop effects? [11:43] ActionParsnip yes [11:43] Actionparsnip but i dont remember doing anything like that [11:43] How do I add a universe mirror to my sources.list? [11:43] mrXX: gues how i knew ;), try turning them off: alt+f2 then type: metacity --replace [11:44] ActionParsnip - grep: will: no such file or directory. [11:44] vagoth: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list uncomment the lines which have universe in them [11:44] ActionParsnip, Thanks [11:44] anarcap: its all one command [11:44] ActionParsnip You are the man dude, that worked like magic, do u know what i must have done? [11:45] anarcap, sorry, the boss gets my attention before you :p [11:45] anarcap, it's fine that you did it with firefox open, but you'll have to quit firefox and reopen it before any changes take affect [11:45] mrXX: you need to run ccsm and maybe add the windows decorators there, you have disabled desktop effects right now, you can try: compiz --replace see if they are back, but ccsm has a mention of window decorators [11:45] ActionParsnip - thanks. Yeah, it says flashplugin-installer 10.0.3218ubuntu1 - so I guess it's installed. But about:plugins in firefox does not show a plugin for flash. [11:45] mrXX: i'd ask in #compiz tbh [11:46] anarcap, re: 64bit, in theory u-b-r should still work (it should install the 32bit version with a wrapper iirc, although they might have the 64bit alpha packaged up) [11:46] cwillu_at_work -- yeah, yeah, not problem. You said I could keep poking you, so I did :) [11:46] anarcap: thats package is no good afaik, try: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [11:46] ActionParsnip, Worked, is there a reason why universe is commented on the live cd? [11:46] cwillu_at_work - I restarted firefox and about:plugins does not show a flash plugin [11:46] vagoth: no idea fellah [11:47] anarcap: if you have any gnash stuff installed too, remove that [11:47] ActionParnip - in that order? thanks [11:47] anarcap, the main reason to stick with 'proper' packages is that you then get the benefit of bug fixes and the like; workarounds have a tendency to grow stale and then break on the next major upgrade, which causes all sorts of fun when people forget that a workaround was a applied and come in here saying "!@#!$ lucid broke my flash!" :p [11:47] ActionParsnip, Rearranging my harddrives so i need to watch something while parted does its work xD [11:47] anarcap: its all one command [11:47] anarcap, goodie :p [11:47] vagoth: nice :) hahaha === luis is now known as alejandro [11:47] anarcap: copy the entire command and paste it, it will run concurrently [11:48] cwillu_at_work - Yeah, I know what you mean. [11:48] ActionParsnip but thats crazy dude, all my desktop effects are gone as well!! (the compiz room is silent and no replys), is this a virus or something? [11:48] ActionParsnip, According to people here, I am Obsessive jus because i hate my hdd'd out of order, as in sda1 on the end of the disk, sda3 at the start [11:49] hmm, how do i check to see how much memory is left? [11:49] mrXX: no, just bad settings. If you run: compiz --replace you will get the effects back but maybe no window decorators [11:49] vagoth: top? [11:49] vagoth: free -m [11:49] ActionParsnip - what is "non-free" all about? [11:49] anarcap: the plugin itself is free as in money [11:49] lol, 62MB [11:50] anarcap: but its not free as in open source [11:50] Help! How to register a nick in mirc?

[11:50] partition* [11:51] cwillu_at_work -- well. I just finished the instructions. Again, I left firefox open on accident. I'm not sure if that matters ActionParsnip [11:51] hi all. can someone help me with networking? i have an install of ubuntu, but can't ping the gateway... or anything..... i *think* everything is setup right, but obviously something is off, because it doesn't work... [11:51] anarcap: yes it does, you need to rerun the browser to reload the plugins [11:51] ip address, broadcast, gateway are right, and routes are added [11:51] anarcap, it does [11:51] Any ideas people? [11:51] anarcap: make sure no other firefoxes are open with: ps -ef | grep fox [11:51] karmic is not detecting my cd/dvd drive on a HP/Compaq 6910P. What can I do to have it detected? [11:51] ActionParsnip - So "Non-Free" as in "closed". [11:51] anarcap: bingo :) [11:52] I have something which I assume is an easy problem. How do I make my programs minimize to my bottom panel? [11:52] talntid: cables checked? [11:52] anarcap: nvidia drivers are also free to use but are not open so are not free in that sense [11:52] multiple times, epinky, router checked too [11:52] ActionParsnip - So do I have to run the install again with firefox closed, or just reload the browser. [11:52] anarcap: an example of a free flash is gnash, it is open source and free to use [11:52] anarcap: close all the firefoxes [11:52] Yeah, I've heard of gnash [11:52] anarcap: then rerun, the plugins will be reloaded [11:53] anarcap, firefox just needs to be completely closed and restarted, the install doesn't have to be redone [11:53] talntid: try to flush iptables [11:53] ActionParsnip -k [11:53] no change, epinky [11:53] I can't even ping 192.168.1.1 [11:53] is it possible to install grub instead of grub2? [11:54] talntid: is there ping on loopback? [11:54] (I know I can downgrade it after installation, but I wonder if it is possible to do it on install) [11:54] ping lo? [11:54] talntid: 127.0.0.1 [11:54] yes [11:54] ricdanger, not trivially, although anything is possible with enough work [11:55] talntid: is there ping on your ethernet address? [11:55] yes [11:55] anarcap: better?? [11:55] hi, i've got an adapter cable for serial2usb. the device shows up in lsusb - how do i know which device file represents the device connected to the adapter? [11:55] talntid: other computer can ping gateway? [11:55] yes [11:56] all other pc's work perfect [11:56] Can anyone help me? I can't see my minimized programs and have to use alt+tab. [11:56] Is grub2 beta software? [11:56] ActionParsnip - hold up....testing [11:56] MsTegan: right click the bottom bar -> add item [11:56] dstaubsauger, it should be /dev/ttyUSB0 [11:56] MsTegan: then add windows list [11:56] cwillu_at_work: thx, i'll try [11:56] talntid: what's its name, I mean eth0 , eth1, ath0? [11:56] eth0 [11:57] talntid: sudo ifconfig eth0 up [11:57] ActionParsnip Thanks :D I knew I was just missing something! All the best [11:57] did, still no ping [11:57] ;) [11:57] talntid: sudo iptables -F [11:57] did, still no ping [11:58] dstaubsauger, also, there are symlinks in /dev/serial/by-id/ and by-path/ which may be useful if you have several devices [11:58] talntid: do you have 2 NICS? [11:58] What's up with the #linux channel? I can not get in. [11:58] no [11:58] dstaubsauger, for instance, I routinely plug in 3 or more adapters that all have different devices attached that really don't like to be mutually confused :p [11:59] diddy: they were getting spammed earlier. try registering your nick. [11:59] chelz: "IgnoreEDID" didn't help but i figured it out somehow using the System → Preferences → Display [11:59] chelz, ah. OK [11:59] talntid: then it sounds to me like a damaged NIC ... really odd [11:59] Most likely my last question, is there a tool to format swap? [11:59] chelz: thanks for hints [11:59] luciash: it's working?? [11:59] ActionParsnip - cwillu_at_work - I'm still getting tearing on hulu [11:59] vagoth, mkswap [11:59] cwillu_at_work: thanks, but i've just one adapter - works perfectly now :D [12:00] chelz: yep, i guess i can live with that i cannot set it using my bash scripts [12:00] anarcap, still? :p [12:00] epinky, works in my other ubuntu install, and in windows [12:00] luciash: nice! heh working is the goal, gj :) [12:00] anarcap, is this in fullscreen? [12:00] chelz: yeah :) [12:00] cwillu_at_work, thanks mate [12:00] anarcap, flash does their own rendering internally, they don't use x's video api's, which makes things... tricky... [12:00] btw hulu desktop for ubuntu/fedora has been out since oct 06, and it works quite nicely [12:00] How to make Canon Pixma MP550-printer to work ok? [12:00] cwillu_at_work - no not full screen. just regular hulu player [12:00] anarcap: try hulu desktop [12:01] anarcap: have you installed / configured video drivers? [12:01] talntid: no idea man, if it pings eth0 then it's not about drivers neither kernel side [12:01] anarcap: for other sites.. well.. you could try downloading the videos then playing them locally with a site like keepvid.com or using small-sized videos [12:01] chelz - I have tried hulu desktop...i'll try it again with these new plugins installed. It didn't fix tearing before, but who knows now. [12:01] yeah... it really is very very very very strange [12:01] anarcap, check your pm's [12:01] i hear 64bit flash on fedora is supposed to be really good [12:01] not sure how/why [12:01] !ot | chelz [12:02] chelz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [12:02] :X [12:02] ActionParsnip --- Re: video drivers. No I have not...perhaps that would help? I have an ATI Radeon x1650 [12:02] !ati } anarcap [12:02] is ther any program make recover to deleted files like win ?? [12:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about ati } anarcap [12:02] !ati [12:02] chelz, there's a native 64bit flash plugin coming; an alpha is available which is actually quite good, which I think they've got packaged up [12:02] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [12:02] !recover [12:02] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [12:02] SuBsAm: ^ [12:02] SuBsAm: easier to restore from backup though (asuming you have one) [12:03] ok but the file was in downloads in the decuments [12:03] is there make backup also ? [12:03] thanks for the help, i am almost ready to make the leap into linux and obliterate windows from the physical hdd (run a vm =P [12:04] SuBsAm: you setup a backup yourself, no backup == data is disposable [12:04] hello. if i installed ubuntu then windows then install grub2 with grub-setup or {grub-install with chroot} from live cd and then reboot does grub2 automatically find windows and add menu entry? [12:04] So... I just installed Ubuntu for the first time, coming from another distro. I've noticed that my computer has an awful lot of hard drive activity when I'm not using it. I'm sitting on my laptop right now, running Windows, but every few seconds I hear some disk activity from the Ubuntu box to my right. Is there a way to see what's causing all the noise? [12:04] SuBsAm: you can use foremost to recover data but it isnt perfect, you should backup your important data [12:04] guys, how to check if a field in mysql has anyvalue at all or not in php? [12:05] klpt1: when it starts, run: dmesg | tail see if it gives any clues [12:05] ubuntu already make back up for me real data [12:05] SuBsAm: then restore it if you have a backup [12:05] ActionParsnip: good thought, will do. [12:05] ssh to the rescue...! [12:05] but i don't thinck that he make a pach up to ma decu [12:05] klpt1: always :) [12:06] ActionParsnip -- which nVidia card should I buy then?

[12:08] hi guys [12:08] SuBsAm: from your backups. i dont know how you have baked up. if you havent then you could try foremost in a liveCD environment but chances are its lost [12:08] ok ok [12:09] ActionParsnip may i have to ask u for another thing ? [12:09] I want to spawn a X server on VT9, on normal distros I therefore add the line "9:5:respawn:/opt/bin/customX.sh" to /etc/inittab ... Since ubuntu does not seem to have an /etc/inittab, how do I achieve the same in ubuntu? [12:09] im connecting to my ubuntu desktop through ssh, starting up a cs server, i then disconnect. Is the gui then running? [12:09] dpy: read the comments in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf in the [servers] section and then update your /etc/gdm/gdm-custom.conf appropriately [12:09] i have no screen connected [12:09] ActionParsnip can i ? [12:09] jrib: i don't want to use gdm [12:10] jrib: I want control of whatever I start on the VT myself [12:10] is this not possible in ubuntu? [12:10] jrib: where do the getty's get started on the VT1-6 [12:10] so, there are segfaults and a lot of other things that don't look happy in there http://pastebin.org/54821 [12:10] SuBsAm: ask the channel [12:10] !upstart > dpy [12:10] dpy, please see my private message [12:11] but nothing that's happening at the same frequency as all of the hard drive chatter, which is about once every two seconds [12:11] dpy: you'll have to read the example jobs in upstart I assume [12:11] !help register [12:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about help register [12:12] is there a way to increase the size of /home without using CDs and stuff? just by a terminal command or an application etc [12:12] !register | Anton2508 [12:12] Anton2508, please see my private message [12:12] jrib: tnx [12:12] dpy: no problem [12:12] Spixx - Re: Random +8800 -- Are you suggesting any card greater than the 8800 series? [12:12] I installed opera deb package, but it does not shows up [12:12] www.badjojo.com [12:12] haha [12:13] brunoscunha: run from terminal then [12:13] anarcap: yes, depending on what you want to do. A simple +40$ card would suffice [12:13] om26er: sorry but how? [12:13] ubottu - yearh, I've looked through all of the nVidia listed cards on ubuntu website, but to be honest that list isn't very helpful (particularly for a noob) [12:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:13] hello all [12:13] Pholious:if /home is a separate partition you can try with LVM [12:13] brunoscunha: if its installed then and not in menus. try typing opera in terminal [12:13] hello [12:14] i just install ubuntu inside win ? [12:14] do u thinck that i must install the root [12:14] epinky: ok ty [12:14] klpt1: try reinstalling the mythbackend [12:14] klpt1: or get a later version (if one exists) of a ppa / compile [12:14] hi [12:15] anarcap: Ubottu is a bot, the HCL will tell you that most nvidia cards are supported. [12:15] Spixx - it sucks, bc I have a $60.00 ATI card I bought last year at this time. :( BUT, I will buy a new nVidia card in a heart beat if that is the issue. [12:15] hi [12:15] wow, I typed man git fetch by mistake, and it worked! [12:15] om26er: thanks, but shouldn't it appear in menu. I presume as it was a deb package it would show in the menu [12:15] ActionParsnip: yeah, i'm just going to disable it. i had no intention of running mythbackend on this computer. i installed the frontend and didn't realize that apt installed the backend to go with it [12:15] anarcap: what exactly is the problem? [12:16] haaaaaaay [12:16] though it is troubling that it's segfaulting. it has no business doing that [12:16] anarcap: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsAti [12:16] there is the HCL list for ATI graphic cards just Ctrl+f for your card [12:16] anarcap, I don't know for a fact that an nvidia card will affect tearing on flash; specifically, I get tearing on some sites, and I use nothing but nvidia and intel [12:16] hi all any body can help me plz ? [12:16] also, any idea what those audit messages from mysqld are for? [12:16] Spixx - video, DVD, Compiz, they all work great. The only thing that doesn't work right is Flash. It tears while streaming from hulu/youtube, etc. [12:17] anarcap: have you turned on compositing vsync? [12:17] * cwillu_at_work wonders is there's a bug on that, actually [12:17] anarcap: what version are you using, sometimes a purge and install from the site will do the trick [12:17] Spixx - my video card is not listed in that ATI list. [12:17] what card you got? [12:17] hi [12:18] SuBsAm: this is a support channel if you have a question ask it: also Hi! [12:18] mmmmmmmmmmmm [12:18] i asked and no body answared me ? [12:18] Ask again [12:18] ok [12:18] There are many posting in this chat and sometimes we miss stuff :D [12:19] what is this bounceattack.txt file i keep getting all about? [12:19] SuBsAm: ask your question. dont ask for general help etc. [12:19] i just installed ubuntu inside win , do u thinck that i must install the root ? [12:19] Jimi_Neutral: are you still getting it? [12:19] jrib, yeah [12:19] klpt1 - Yes, I turned on compositing vsync in compiz. I don't run compiz while I'm watching streaming flash because I get REALLY BAD tearing when I have compiz on. So I switch to metacity while streaming flash. Any suggestions? [12:20] Jimi_Neutral: if the users are still on the network, /ignore them [12:20] ok [12:20] SuBsAm: you have installed ubuntu via the windows installer? [12:20] anarcap: sorry, that's all i could think of. i assume you're running latest drivers and all of that junk [12:20] Spixx. What version of what? PS. I haven't installed any drivers for my video card at all. I'm just using whatever default drivers ubuntu has. [12:20] jrib, ok, there are shed loads of them tho [12:20] Jimi_Neutral: maybe ask #freenode for more help [12:20] anarcap: have you checked for proprietary closed source drivers for your card? what is it? [12:20] i but the cd in cd room and chose install inside the windows [12:20] anarcap: and why have you not installed the video drivers? [12:21] anarcap: those are usually massively better than the default drivers [12:21] SuBsAm, and what is your question [12:21] ok [12:21] what is the root [12:21] ? [12:21] root is superuser [12:21] is this important to istall it [12:21] SuBsAm: Have you booted from the CD and are at the "harddrive" part? [12:21] if i install it [12:21] SuBsAm, what are you trying to do [12:21] You already have it [12:22] make problem with the win or not ? [12:22] SuBsAm, on a wubi install? no [12:22] klpt1 - I don't know waht the closed source drivers are. [12:22] ok do u c that the root is important ? [12:22] öl === matiasg is now known as matiasag [12:23] SuBsAm, what are you trying to accomplish, please stop repeating and explain [12:23] SuBsAm: Im guessing you are about to install onto hdd and thus yes what root drive to use is important! [12:23] Closed source drivers are ones from your card manufacurer [12:23] Spixx, its a wubi install [12:23] ahh, then I'll shut up now :P [12:24] no no [12:24] anarcap, check in system adminstration hardware drivers [12:24] anarcap: so go through the system administration and preferences menus. i forget exactly where it is, but check for "hardware drivers" [12:24] hello [12:24] i just want to know is the root pro is important for me or not [12:24] Spixx -- Sorry... ;) [12:24] if it ask you for root fylesystem, set '/' at mountpoint [12:24] Is there anyway to check if a web page is up through terminal? [12:25] and how to install [12:25] does anyone have any experience with using unetbootin? [12:25] anarcap: it'll fire up a window that should let you know if there are any better drivers available [12:25] LindaJ: I used it this morning [12:25] LindaJ: yes [12:25] SuBsAm, this is from inside windows, correct? [12:25] I want to check if http://localhost.com is running...how would I do this through terminal? [12:25] LindaJ: i used it to turn my flash drive into a boot disk [12:25] bazhang good man [12:25] RobLikesBrunch: http://localhost you mean? [12:25] Spixx which xorg is 9.10 using? [12:25] bazhang why ? [12:25] Spixx: I just install a linux live cd to my usb, using the lates unetbootin on windows vista [12:25] okay? [12:25] it was really easy. i plugged in my boot disk, fired up the program in windows, pointed it to my flash and to the ubuntu iso [12:25] SuBsAm, why what [12:26] Spixx, yes...sorry, I write .com out of habit. [12:26] why correct [12:26] hit the button and waited. worked great [12:26] bazhang - klpt1 I don't have any hardware drivers listed. [12:26] i was really impressed [12:26] To check that it is alive from terminal you need to use lynx or similar [12:26] bazhang is there will make problem with win ? [12:26] anarcap: what video card do you have? you can check with "lspci" [12:26] anarcap, which card is that [12:26] Lynx then is a terminal browser :D [12:26] Spixx: However on booting the usb, I get something like "can't find kernel image" ... "Boot: " [12:26] SuBsAm, no it will not make a problem with windows. [12:26] Spixx, so do you know how I can check? [12:27] ATI Radeon x1650 [12:27] Spixx: sorry forgot to say syslinux actually starts, but it cant find my kernel on my live cd [12:27] Ahh, that error is because when installing the bootloader (grub) there are some fault at the menu.lst [12:27] bazhang man plz look with me [12:27] Spixx: live usb [12:27] bazhang klpt1 ATI Radeon x1650 [12:27] anarcap: there are absolutely third party drivers available for that [12:27] I know. I'm downloading them now. [12:27] anarcap: very good [12:27] SuBsAm, did you have any other questions related to your wubi install [12:27] RobLikesBrunch: I would if possible install lynx and then just in termnial write lynx http://localhost [12:27] anarcap: though there should be third party drivers available for that through the hardware driver manager [12:27] bazhang i instatlled ubuntu form cd and chose install inside win? [12:28] Spixx, I was thinking that. Okay, thanks. [12:28] bazhang can i install the root or not ? [12:28] LindaJ: can you do "cat /PATHTOUSB/boot/grub/menu.lst > file.txt and push it up on a pastebin? [12:28] SuBsAm, right. and I told you it will not cause an issue with windows. [12:28] you might want to see if you can run glxgears [12:28] anarcap: glxgears or fgl_glxgears [12:28] hello buddies .I think there is a bug with nvidia-graphics 183** and kubuntu .I intalled ubuntu(gnome) ... and then installed all the restricted hardware ( one is nvidia 9600 gt ) , and then installed kubuntu-desktop using synaptic package manager ... then i rebooted and , after the boot progress finishes , it give me a black window ... kdm dont start ... maybe a kdm bug ?? [12:28] anarcap: fgl version will come from having the radeon proprietary drivers installed. if that works, then downloading other drivers probably isn't going to help a great deal [12:29] my system (karmic, upgraded from jaunty) always say "The following packages have been kept back: mplayer mysql-server mysql-server-5.0" anyway to upgrade those as well? [12:29] bazhang ok how can i install it and what can i do with it ? [12:29] Spixx: yes thanks I will do that, didnt realize it was grub... [12:29] SuBsAm, you said you have already installed ubuntu. I dont understand what you are talking about. [12:30] Spixx: mind you, Im on windoze at the moment... tryint to set up linux... I will use notepad :p [12:30] ;) [12:30] klpt1 - so what do you suggest? Install the ATI drivers? [12:30] hurrm [12:30] bazhang some program when i installed it asked me for root ? [12:30] SuBsAm, its best for you to explain as why actualy you need, and what program is asking you for root. There is root in many diferent ways. [12:30] SuBsAm, use sudo [12:30] and i don't know what is root ? [12:30] SuBsAm: ahh use the password you setup for your user? [12:30] Spixx klpt1 bazhang - I searched for glxgears in synapitic and I have mesa-utils installed. [12:30] SuBsAm, type sudo before the command, then it will ask for your password: enter it. [12:31] anarcap: you need the restricted drivers === SodaPhish_ is now known as SodaPhish [12:31] bazhang aha [12:31] bazhang aha [12:32] Spixx - what restricted drivers? I'm looking at installing the ATI Radeon drivers for my video card...are you saying I shouldn't do that? [12:32] error404notfound: apt-get dist-upgrade [12:32] hi [12:32] LindaJ: because I've had the problem that the installer in windows made a mistake and was pointing towards the wrong path eg not the right root(X,X) [12:32] anyone can help me?

[12:33] nubuntu, that is not supported here [12:33] root-system -bin ? [12:33] Hi there. Does someone know how to execute a command upon a gnome session opening ? [12:33] DannyButterman: System > Preference > Startup programs [12:33] some can help me? [12:34] please [12:34] Spixx: here's the thing, I am browsing my live usb, but the path you suggest doesnt exist... i.e. no /boot/ [12:34] hmm [12:34] nubuntu, that is not supported here. [12:34] LindaJ: wierd :S try and recreate it once and see if that helps [12:34] anarcap: no, try running glxgears from a terminal [12:34] it's not a program you'll need to install [12:34] Spixx: however I have the following... /EFI/ /isolinux/ /LiveOS [12:34] Spixx - sorry I didn't see that last post at first. What should I search for in hard where drivers? [12:34] i'd like to save files and programs in a live usb what i have to do? [12:34] how can i read arabic in flash chat ? [12:35] anarcap: should only be a search [12:35] Spixx: I do have /EFI/boot/grub.conf [12:35] eg nothing in particular because it will by itself find your card and install drivers [12:35] klpt1 - what is glxgears? [12:35] Spixx : but it's about applications, and I just want to mount a ssh directory [12:35] klpt1 how do I run it [12:35] LindaJ: Can you pastebin that? [12:35] Spixx: yup [12:35] Maybe someone else can help Lindaj :D? [12:36] anarcap: it's just a simple little benchmark [12:36] hi all [12:36] in flash chat [12:36] anarcap: it's a simple way to see if you have hardware graphics acceleration [12:36] gnufreex .... i used jockey in ubuntu ( gnome ) to install the ndvidia driver , then i rebooted and all was good .. then i installed kubuntu-desktop and then that happened ... the only change made was kdm to default and the installation of kde too [12:36] Spixx in flashcaht [12:36] DannyButterman: either via rc.local or in your homefolder depending on when :D [12:36] Spixx - I can't do searches in the hardware drivers [12:36] Spixx i can't read arabic [12:36] anarcap: so open up a terminal (accessories->terminal) and type in "glxgears" and press enter [12:37] I installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my netbook and installed emacs23 on top of it. However I dont like the GTK version of emacs and like the commandline version which can be started with "emacs32 -nw" instead of just "emacs23". [12:37] bazhang .. i know kubuntu is not supported , but the primary desktop envyromment is ubuntu ( gnome ) and it is hard to know if its ubuntu-desktop fault or kubuntu-desktop fault [12:37] anarcap: you might need to configure aptitude to run with restricted sources [12:37] klpt1 - ok. it's running [12:37] Spixx ican't read arabic in flashchat [12:37] szadek, that is wierd, i thougt jockey installs 185 (that is what I use) and you say 183. [12:37] Szadek, sure kubuntu is supported [12:37] Spixx: http://pastebin.com/m3f0a528f [12:38] SuBsAm: is it a problem with the textencoding? or is it that you can't read arabic ? [12:38] But I went to the menu editor and changed the command to "emacs23 -nw %F" and the menu shortcut did not work. [12:38] gnufreex sorry , you are right it is 185.xx [12:38] anarcap: how many fps did you get? [12:38] how do i do it right? [12:38] i thinck form flash [12:38] Szadek, what is the issue, I missed it [12:38] i'm egyption and can read arabic [12:38] Spixx - when I pull up the hardware drivers window it doesn't list any drivers at all [12:38] SingAlong1, emacs on a netbook...well why not? [12:39] kplt1 oh, between 6099 and 7222 [12:39] anarcap: your hardware drivers are working fine [12:39] if they were nonfunctional you'd get about 500-1000 [12:39] ScabbyMadman: ya i installed it but i want to start the command line version instead of the gtk version when i use the menu shortcut to start emacs [12:39] klpt1 - ok. So i don't have to install any more then, right? I have no hardware drives listed in the hardware drivers dialogue [12:40] Spixx can u resolve this ? [12:40] Szadek, kubuntu works fine with me (8800GT), migt be some other conflict. Did you do something other unusal ? [12:40] ScabbyMadman: so i went to the menu editor and changed the command of the shortcut from "emacs23 %F" to "emacs23 -nw %F". and it didnt work. [12:40] klpt1 - ps. how do I stop that test? [12:40] anarcap: System > Administration > Software sources > check so that Proprieatary drivers for devices is checked [12:40] bazhang ... i installed karmic .. and did the upgrades to solve kockeys bug of not recognizing the restricted hardware .. and after that , i used jockey and installed nvidia graphics driver 195.xx ( recommended ) .Then i rebooted and tested , all was ok , but , i installed kubuntu-desktop , and when i rebooted , after the kubuntu progress bar finishes loading ... it gave me a black window , kdm didnt start . [12:40] SingAlong1, not really sure I can help sorry....Im trying to imagine what the emacs window looks like on a netbook [12:40] klpt1 never mind, it figured it out [12:40] how to stop gears [12:40] damn keybord ... bazhang .. the driver is 185.xx [12:40] SubsAm: it might solve if you install the arabic language? [12:40] ScabbyMadman: it looks the same :) [12:41] anarcap: yeah, that test should quit itself after five seconds. you can also ctrl-c it or just close it or kill it [12:41] ScabbyMadman: but i love the command line version more than the GTK version. [12:41] i'm already installed it [12:41] Spixx - Proprietary drivers is checked already. [12:41] anarcap, ath tab keys the y ou back to the terminal then ctrl c [12:41] Spixx it's a flash problem [12:41] SingAlong1: try logout-login (I think those menus are cached in a session) [12:41] SingAlong1, havent had emacs installed for a while [12:41] SuBsAm: Okay, you have arabic installed but it doesnt work in the flash apps? [12:41] lest see [12:42] LindaJ: check priv please === ivan_ is now known as firenze [12:42] klpt1 - so you're suggestion that I NOT install the ATI drivers? [12:42] i think you already have them [12:42] Spixx ok how can it work ? [12:42] anarcap: but to be sure [12:42] try running fgl_glxgears [12:42] cankoy: well if they were cached they wouldnt start working if i changed it back to the default :) [12:42] klpt1 - So, to be sure I should install them? [12:42] SingAlong1, I actually do have emacs installed well wddya know? [12:42] ScabbyMadman: i cant live without emacs. [12:43] Spixx : rc.local is executed upon gnome session opening and closing ? [12:43] anarcap: you can be sure by running the fgl_glxgears program [12:43] SingAlong1, are you emacs bins links to one single file? [12:43] klpt1 - I tried to run it and it said it is not currently installed. Should I install it? [12:43] ScabbyMadman: ? [12:43] anarcap: that's the version that ATI provides to be a slightly more thorough benchmark. it only shows up on your machine if you have the ati proprietary drivers installed [12:43] sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [12:43] SuBsAm: I'm not exactly sure but perhaps if you check for it on google [12:43] anarcap: yes, do that [12:43] DannyButterman: nope upon boot, the other file is in your home folder [12:44] SingAlong1, can you run the emacs command from a terminal ? [12:44] anarcap: it seems like you got some hardware acceleration from the standard drivers, but without having installed the proprietary drivers [12:44] ScabbyMadman: yes [12:44] Spixx k man 3 much thanx [12:44] gnufreex ... i guess maybe the change from gdm to kdm messed up things , do you have installed kubuntu-desktop on gnome ? maybe that change caused something , because i selected kdm to be default ... maybe i should try to let gdm default and see what happens ... [12:44] and what do you use as a command? [12:44] Spixx : you mean .bashrc ? isn't it about bash sessions ? [12:44] is it possible to let ALSA work at the same time as PulseAudio server? (Basicly LMMS lags to crap on cpu usage, with ALSA selected it plays back with no max cpu loads - but i get no sound output (altho its being out putted)) [12:44] DannyButterman: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-527713.html [12:44] SingAlong1, and what do you use as a command to launch emacs from a terminal [12:44] ScabbyMadman: ah i fixed it. it worked [12:44] that one might help you third or fourth response [12:45] Hello.. [12:45] klpt1 - ok. I hope this install works. [12:45] SingAlong1, what did yo do? [12:45] I was wondering if someone could help to get ride off from my windows vista partition [12:45] ScabbyMadman: i had to select "application in terminal" instead of "application" when editing the shortcut :) [12:45] klpt1 - it's installign the proprietary drivers? Or is it installing some other source of drivers? [12:45] anarcap: there might be some more useful information in this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309925 [12:45] andres_: just use gparted and delete it. [12:45] aight [12:45] thx [12:45] anarcap: I can't tell you for sure, i have nvidia cards. but it seems like it should be doing the right thing [12:45] andres_: np :) [12:45] szadek, jes I also have Kubuntu on top of Ubuntu (via 'sudo aptitude kubuntu-desktop') but I did not changed kdm to be default. I just left gdm [12:46] okay I'm off :C cya [12:46] SingAlong1, right.....but if you were to run it from a terminal yourself it would be" emacs-no-x11" something like that [12:47] Anyone used Hotwire? [12:47] klpt1 - I have the drivers from ATI website. I downloaded them. Should I have installed those? [12:47] klpt1 - I have the drivers from ATI website. I downloaded them. Should I have installed those? [12:47] anarcap: probably not, unless you have difficulty with the packaged ones [12:47] anarcap, NO [12:48] Drivers from ATI website are evil [12:48] klpt1 - OK. I tried to run fgl_glxgears again, but no bones. It says xlib: extension "ATIFGLRXDRI" missing on display ":0.0" [12:48] just use jockey [12:48] ScabbyMadman: emacs -nw [12:48] anarcap: it's been a while since i did the fglrx install thing. i had a compaq with an ATI card in it and I was using arch linux. it was a painful, unhappy process [12:48] ScabbyMadman: or emacs23 -nw [12:48] anarcap: and then the package maintainer gods for that distro added a package for it and life was good [12:48] gnufreex -- Why did you say NO? [12:48] anarcap: anyway, to deal with your problem [12:49] anarcap: you'll need to restart X after editing the configuration file to use the new driver [12:49] and then rerun fgl_glxgears [12:49] how can I search for a file in terminal from the root of the disk search the whole disk? [12:49] klpt1 -- oh boy. How do I go about editing the config file? [12:49] waveshaper: "locate " is pretty effective [12:49] waveshaper: man find [12:49] anarcap: so... this is a bit involved [12:49] !alsa [12:49] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [12:49] waveshaper: locate command, or find command [12:49] gnufreex : i guess it is something with kdm .... i will try to let gdm default ... and see what happens ... thats the only thing i have different from you so maybe that solve my issues . [12:50] klpt1 - ok, no problem. [12:50] anarcap: there's an example in that thread i linked to you, but i can't vouch for its accuracy or efficacy [12:50] anarcap, Drivers from NVIDIA and ATI are sites make problems. Just ones from repositories are good [12:50] find doesnt give me any usefull feedback, testing locate === Guest15512 is now known as NiSoOo [12:50] waveshaper: learn how to use find perhaps. [12:50] haha [12:50] thats what Im trying to do ;) [12:50] find or locate - depends on what you are doing [12:51] Locate uses a database of the system - faster.. if its up to date [12:51] anarcap: it'll probably boil down to adding an extra "Module" line to xorg.conf and changing the "driver ati" line to "driver fglrx" [12:51] find - often used in scripts and other special cases [12:51] my system (karmic, upgraded from jaunty) always say "The following packages have been kept back: mplayer mysql-server mysql-server-5.0" anyway to upgrade those as well? [12:51] and then rebooting your computer [12:51] klpt1 - ok, can you be more specific? which thread? I got a bunch of links earlier from folks. [12:51] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309925 [12:51] ok. what I want is simple. dir c:somefile*.* /s (from anywhere the terminal puts me when I open) [12:52] klpt1 -- the instructions on "BinaryDriverHowto"? [12:52] anarcap: here you go, this is probably a better link [12:52] http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Fglrx [12:52] klpt1 - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [12:52] scroll down to the "3D acceleration section" [12:52] anarcap: that binary driver page is a little sparse on real info [12:53] anarcap: which is a problem i've found pretty endemic to the ubuntu wiki system. the articles are too short and there are too many different articles on sufficiently similar subjects that it's hard to find the one that actually has the information you really want [12:53] klpt1 - That page doesn't list Ubuntu Karmic should I just use Jaunty? [12:53] anarcap: the directions will be identical, it shouldn't matter [12:53] there's only a little bit more work you need to do [12:54] Installation didn't work. I have a ssd & sd card. I want /boot /home & swap on the ssd, / on the sd. Still using the live environment after install I added mmc_core mmc_block sdhci sdhci-pci to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules then ran sudo /usr/sbin/update-initramfs.distrib -u [12:54] anarcap: so fire up a text editor [12:54] as root [12:54] then I did sudo cp /boot/initrd.img-* /media/SSDmountpoint/ [12:54] anarcap: I'm a vim person, but most people seem to like GUI text editors these days [12:54] How can i make the PulseAudio playback audio from ALSA Plugin ?

[13:00] what was this bounce attack all about? [13:00] is anyone familiar with edubuntu? [13:00] ActionParsnip, i happened to delete the ffmpeg directory it had created !!! will sudo apt-get remove ffmpeg will doo the job [13:01] Hello, I was wondering if I am able to delete my windows partition even tho if I used windows to install Ubuntu. [13:01] for hd(0,0) --- what do the "0,0" represent? [13:01] andres_, wubi install? [13:01] anarcap: so in that link you sent me [13:01] i want to make a fresh install of the ffmpeg with h264 support [13:01] yes [13:01] hey everyone [13:01] anarcap: i think you need to follow the instructions in 5.7.2.6 and 5.7.3.7 and 5.7.4.8 [13:01] noren: no, as its not installed as a package, if you install the package it will copy the packaged file over your compiled files, you can then use the remove command to remove it [13:01] can i use flash 9 on ubuntu 9.10 [13:01] iam sick of flash 10 [13:02] even flash 8 if possible [13:02] indus: sure if you can find it [13:02] klpt1 - ok. I'll get on it. Will you be around to continue helping me out? [13:02] ActionParsnip: ya its in older releases [13:02] ActionParsnip, now how can i remove the ffmpeg cleanly, or if i reinstall a new latest version will it overwrite the previous version [13:02] indus: if you are using 32bit you can try the alpha 10.1 flash [13:03] ActionParsnip: nah its 64 bit, but iam willing to try the wrapper [13:03] ActionParsnip: is it any good? [13:03] noren: sudo apt-get install --reinstall ffmpeg; sudo apt-get --purge remove ffmpeg; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [13:03] How can i make the PulseAudio playback audio from ALSA Plugin ? (Its listed in the Applications tab - and is playing sound through the master output in LMMS(can see the noise level moving properly) but no sounds output [13:03] anarcap: not sure. i actually need to leave for work shortly [13:03] ahh thanks lemme try that out [13:03] ActionParsnip: ill install nspluginwrapper separately, then move flash 10.1 to /usr/lib/mozilla [13:04] anarcap: but to summarize, what you need to do now is just load the driver on X startup. it may do that automatically if you restart [13:04] indus: not sure, i use the 64bit one, there is scope to make 64bit soon, some guy posted a guide up about installing flashplugin-nonfree then replacing the .so with the 10.1 one (32bit) [13:04] klpt1 - crap. Well, I just tried the first command and it told me: aticonfig: No supported adapters detected [13:04] indus: it uses gpu instead of cpu for some stuff [13:04] I need help here installing; Ubiquity is crashing and I can't download more than ~30mb and get the alt installer [13:04] ok anyone here that can help me for a moment? I have Dropbox, WhatPulse, Gnome-DO all in my startup applications and they are all checked. However they do not start when I login or boot up the system. I have to start them all manually every morning. Why would this be happening? [13:04] thanks ActionParsnip will come back later to report what happened [13:04] anarcap: huh, that's probably not so good. do you know how old your video card is? i know ati is bad about retiring driver support for older products [13:05] How can i make the PulseAudio playback audio from ALSA Plugin ? (Its listed in the Applications tab - and is playing sound through the master output in LMMS(can see the noise level moving properly) but no sounds output [13:05] jcrawford: make sylinks in ~/.config/autostart to the relevant items in /usr/share/applications [13:05] jcrawford: thats how i manage autostart, works in gnome nicely [13:05] ActionParsnip, shouldn't that be something the Startup Applications app does? [13:05] jcrawford: sounds like a problem with gnome-session if you use gnome [13:05] Who can help me to install gdb? [13:05] jcrawford: not used it but i'd imagine so [13:06] yea i am using gnome [13:06] I have a audio cd (legal) and I wanna rip it into MP3, what program can I use best to do so? [13:06] klpt1 - I bought it off the shelf at office depot this January. [13:06] Thanks [13:06] i think ill use 8 [13:06] JoshuaL: there is no best [13:06] !rip | JoshuaL [13:06] I'm from China [13:06] JoshuaL: For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping. To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar [13:06] ActionParsnip: many sites still work with 9 fine or with 8 too [13:06] My name in lurra! [13:06] anarcap: so it should be new enough [13:06] JoshuaL, sound-juicer [13:06] ty ActionParsnip and bazhang [13:06] jago25, any idea what i have to do in order to fix this? [13:07] lurra, yes; what is your support question [13:07] JoshuaL: there is no best, if there were the other projects would cease as noboy would use anything else [13:07] klpt1 - ATI claims to have linux 64 bit drivers for it on their website. [13:07] JoshuaL: grip stands to me as the ones that has been around and commonly used to me, probably something better out there now but does me fine [13:07] JoshuaL: there is no best anything ever, even ife is not best for some people [13:07] anarcap: try rebooting first, it may just be a detection issue [13:07] anarcap: if you installed new drivers and haven't unloaded old ones yet, that could be the problem [13:07] *life [13:07] ActionParsnip, you are totally right [13:07] jago25, ty [13:08] klpt1: then try doing "modprobe fglrx" to load the kernel module, and then run the configuration tool [13:08] ill try sound-juicer :) [13:08] err, to anarcap, not myself [13:08] anarcap: anyway [13:08] anarcap: i need to leave, so i'm going to go idle [13:08] klpt1 - I still haven't installed any drivers for my video card [13:08] klpt1 Should I/ [13:08] i already have entries like this in the autostart folder Whatpulse.desktop [13:08] anarcap: that's what that xorg-fglrx package should have been [13:08] klpt1 hold up [13:09] anarcap: it should have been the driver for your video card [13:09] Should I try ati driver? or unloading ubuntu default driver/ [13:09] anarcap: I would avoid installing anything off of the ati website until you've run out of ubuntu package options [13:10] http://paste2.org/p/521912 [13:10] anarcap: my last experience trying to compile their drivers and get them to work was a bit of a miserable nightmare [13:10] anarcap: granted that was five years ago and things have surely changed a bit since then [13:10] so with those files in place the apps should auto start but they are not :( === sM is now known as Guest35976 [13:10] klpt1 - I would go buy an nVidia card tomorrow if someone would tell me what card I should buy. [13:11] klpt1 - I guess anything after the 8800 series. or something. [13:11] anarcap: depends on what you actually need. it doesn't really matter that much so long as the card is supported under the new nvidia drivers [13:11] Where can I get help on IRC with installing Ubuntu? (Ubuquity freezes for me) [13:11] anarcap: so unless you're doing serious 3D work in Windows, I wouldn't worry a whole lot about what specific nvidia card it is [13:11] jcrawford: if you symlink other desktop files to that folder, they will run at startup, the entries in your menu are held in /usr/share/applications so to have gedit run at login you would use the command: cd ~/.config/autostart; ln -s /usr/share/applications/gedit.desktop . and it will run [13:12] klpt1 - I just want 0 tearing. [13:12] jago25: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? Did you run te CD verifier? [13:12] ActionParsnip, the issue is the desktop files that are there now do NOT auto start [13:12] jcrawford: kde has the same in ~/.kde/Autostart [13:12] anarcap: so i have no trouble with my nvidia cards, and they're all at least a couple years old [13:12] jcrawford: not sure about that, strange [13:12] anarcap: i would just get the cheapest nvidia card of the newest generation [13:12] ActionParsnip, that's why i am here trying to get assistance :) [13:12] anarcap: but i don't think yo uhave to do that [13:13] klpt1 - I can't figure out why I installed the drivers and my system still shows NO hardware drivers [13:13] jcrawford: ok lets have a hunt online, with my trusty helper, jeeves [13:13] anarcap: i think that's a hardware solution to a software problem === Fly is now known as Guest7798 [13:14] klpt1 - Whatever is EASIEST, in this situation, is the bets for me. I can't keep bothering people like you all the time.

But now the entire wireless list is gone. (< The short version. [13:15] jcrawford: might be that X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled is false rather than true for each app, stopping them being addable [13:15] I am on "lan" right now [13:15] ActionParsnip: how do i tell it to rip to MP3? [13:15] I forget to type "sudo" a lot. What's the simplest way to say "run the previous command I typed in, but put 'sudo' in front of it"? TIA [13:16] zetheroo2: check the settings, change the encoder to lame [13:16] klpt1 - thanks for the link [13:16] rlo, Its not sudo !! is it [13:16] rlo, I cant recall as I always manually do it [13:16] ActionParsnip: there is Rip file format ... but it says something.wav [13:16] Timderi: if you run: sudo lshw -C network you will see the wifi chip in the product line, websearch that [13:17] anarcap: anyway, i have to leave for work... but best of luck! if all else fails, try a post on linuxquestions.org [13:17] rlo, yeah thats it actually. Type sudo !! and it will execute the last command with sudo in front of it [13:17] rlo: up arrow + home key + type sudo & it's security, you know! in the other way you can use root terminal. [13:17] klpt1 - thanks for your time, I really appreciate!! [13:17] ActionParsnip, no they are true [13:17] rrittenhouse, just tried it - it works. Thanks! [13:18] rlo, your welcome!

[13:21] zetheroo2: you my need to install the lame encoder then [13:21] ActionParsnip: ok .. found it in Synaptic [13:21] Hi.

[13:22] zetheroo2: you may need libmp3lame0 too, not sure [13:22] ActionParsnip: ok .. installed lame and its there now :) [13:22] ActionParsnip: thanks [13:22] I am sure this, can't be right.

[13:28] thanda: hehe [13:28] thanda: you need to upgrade to intrepid first [13:28] how to remove installed programs? like i just installed a game and now somethings wrong and i want to remove it.. .. [13:28] !upgrade | thanda [13:28] thanda: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [13:28] ActionParsnip, very odd i rebooted none of the apps started, i went to terminal and typed in gnome-session and it started up a lot of stuff [13:29] mataks: how was it installed? [13:29] does anyone know how to configure yahoo for evolution [13:29] Pidgin, FireFox, DropBox, WhatPulse, Gnome-Do [13:29] how do i use a date comand in a idle of a file rename? [13:29] I think, update-manager -d is little crazy to deal with. ;-) [13:29] jcrawford: i'd log a bug with that info [13:29] BrixSat: mv oldfilename newfilename.$(date +FORMAT) [13:29] ActionParsnip, it's an .sh file.... it's a game.. i forgot how did i install it [13:29] mataks: what game, i could find a guide [13:30] thanda, actually, i suppose it tries to upgrade you to the next lts, that is lynx [13:30] zash THANKS [13:30] ActionParsnip, Heroes of Newerth [13:30] thanda: change your upgrades from LTS to normal, you will be offered intrepid [13:30] Yes, I am getting the point, but lynx is not released yet. [13:31] Is it possible to somehow send some signal to an IP that my server is both on, but has been turned off, and when it gets that, turns on? [13:31] sdiana [13:31] I suppose, it would be best to leave it as it is...and wait for another six months... [13:31] thanda: upgrade to 10.04 :) [13:31] thanda: have fun [13:31] thanda: no wonder linux is ahead of its time [13:31] indu [13:32] thanda, look [13:32] thanda, what the -d option does [13:32] thanda, -d, --devel-release [13:32] Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is possible [13:32] indus: I am on time-machine with my ubuntu box. [13:32] thanda, thus, you are trying to force an upgrade to the latest dev ver, that is lynx [13:33] Ah. Unfortunately the help I received here, in the least 1hr or so, messed up my configuration and now i can't start compiz...can someone help? [13:33] ActionParsnip, i remember how i install it.. i just double click the file.. I'm doing it right now.. but before i'll reinstall it i want to remove the game first... [13:33] mataks: in the base dir of the game there is an uninstall-HoN.sh you should try [13:33] ActionParsnip, where can i find the folder of the game? [13:33] ActionParsnip, but with Ubuntu or Gnome? [13:34] mataks: or use: sudo find / -iname "uninstall*" [13:34] hi [13:34] kostkon: I understand it, but proposing on something which is not released...does not make sense for me. But, I never mind at this point. [13:34] jcrawford: huh? [13:34] ActionParsnip, you said to log a bug with that info, do you mean report it to gnome or ubuntu? [13:34] thanda, but, you are calling the update manager from the terminal [13:34] mataks: if you run the script, matching the name I gave it will remove [13:34] thanda, i mean, you are specifically calling it with the -d option [13:35] jcrawford: i'd say gnome [13:35] I installed those Ubuntu ATI drivers and instead of helping they disabled 3d entirely. [13:35] i copmpiled ALSA, and now i have ony one channel! What can i do with this? [13:35] ok [13:35] thanda, in regular terms, a user will never do this anyway [13:35] kostkon: true, I do call update-manager with -d through terminal. [13:35] thanda, if you just open the update manager from the menu [13:35] thanda, it will give you the ooption to upgrade to lynx only when it comes out [13:36] what bittorrent client is most likely to "just work?" utorrent works fine for me in windows, no config required. is utorrent on linux? [13:36] ActionParsnip, i already run the script.. it means it will remove everything that has uninstall? [13:36] Why doesnt this video work in Firefox http://screwattack.com/videos/AVGN-Dragon39s-Lair ... it works on Internet Explorer [13:37] Does anyone know if there is a way to resent my video settings back to how they were set an hour ago before i installed the open source ati drivers? [13:37] kostkon: :-) I am aware of it, since 8.04 is LTS, but it would be nice to have an option to upgrade to the current release. [13:37] mataks: apparently thats the uninstall script. i havent used the game so i cant tell you one way or another, you'll have to analyse your files to see whats happening [13:37] Is it right that I have both the fglrx-kernal-source and the xorg-video-ati drivers intalled at the same time? [13:38] ActionParsnip, i uninstalled the game now.. thnx :) [13:38] kostkon: Thankyou very much indeed. [13:38] ActionParsnip - whatever I did by uninstalling my old drivers and installing the open ati driver has completely crippled my 3D. [13:38] anarcap: i dont think all cards get 3D with the open driver [13:38] what can i do with ALSA, when i have only 1 sound channel? [13:39] Hi All - does anyone have upstart scripts for squid and ushare? [13:39] to be put in /etc/event.d? [13:39] ActionParsnip - I had 3D before. Can I get it back? [13:39] cookie: http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/the-simple-way-to-get-51-surround-sound-audio-working-in-ubuntu/ may help [13:39] anarcap: sure, just do what you did to get the 3D [13:40] ActionParsnip: thanks, I'll see this [13:40] how come my menu.lst and xorg.conf files are not here? [13:41] ActionParsnip - To get the 3d before I just installed ubuntu 9.10 [13:41] is it possible to make a send mail script in shell? to send a simple sql file? [13:41] @brixstart yes - many script languages support sending mail. === kbrosnan_ is now known as kbrosnan [13:42] ActionParsnip - I don't really want to reformat and do another install [13:42] you can use python or perl as the most common. [13:42] ActionParsnip, help, i can't install the game now... what's wrong with this .. i get this error msg Could not open the file /home/mataks/Desktop/HoNClient-0.1.41.sh. gedit has not been able to detect the character coding.Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.Select a character coding from the menu and try again. [13:42] wesley_ i mean using shellscript but how do i add an atachment? [13:42] mataks: chmod +x /home/mataks/Desktop/HoNClient-0.1.41.sh; /home/mataks/Desktop/HoNClient-0.1.41.sh [13:43] ActionParsnip, before i just double click the file and install it without getting this error.. that was when i was still using 9.04 [13:43] mataks: you didnt make the file executable [13:43] @brixstat which shell are you using? [13:44] bash [13:44] ActionParsnip, yehey thnx.. it work now :) [13:44] @brixsat I have it [13:44] mataks: the file is seen as text, until you mark it as executable [13:44] how do I install a .bin package? [13:45] ActionParsnip - It looks like synaptic shows that I have practically every single driver for ATI installed. The fglrx-kernel-source and the xorg drivers.

So you can probably get away with emailing it in the msg body. [13:45] Good terminal based msn client? [13:45] Does anyone here know anything about ATI driver and driver issues in ubuntu? [13:46] anarcap: what kind of issues? === Guest18719 is now known as max1993 [13:46] wesley_: it'll still have to be a "multipart/mixed" email [13:46] tsimpson cant i make sendmail mymail@saqpo.pt < /var/www/mysql.sql ? [13:46] for an "attachment" [13:47] you can just send the file as the message body, sure [13:47] @pagiz [13:47] tsimpson thanks :D [13:47] try licq [13:47] with console plugin [13:47] Well. I installed ubunt 9.10 a few days ago and was running whatever default drivers ubuntu has, and I had 3D and everything was fine. Earlier I was trying to fix an issue with tearing in flash playback online and in the process someone told me to install various drivers and after I restarted I don't have 3D/Compiz anymore. [13:47] awesome [13:48] Pagiz - Sorry, my reply is a few posts above [13:48] I want to configure the wpa_supplicant.conf file for 802.1x auth [13:48] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [13:48] wine: Depends: wine1.2 but it is not going to be installed [13:48] what is this?

[13:51] Ok cool - please can you point me in the right direction to get started? === Andy is now known as Guest96896 [13:52] pagiz: wow I did not thought of this! [13:52] Hello, can anybody give me some hint about installing ubuntu-server on raid1-array? raid1 is created with 2 sata drives via nvidia controller [13:52] pagiz - why would the problem be compiz? do you have to reinstall compiz when you install new video drivers? [13:52] wesley_, one sec === Guest96896 is now known as someandy [13:52] anarcap: thats abit hard since I dont know which drivers you had for default. There may be a xorg config backup [13:52] np [13:52] thanks in advance [13:52] this has been annoying me for 6 months. [13:52] pagiz - what is xorg config backup? [13:52] everything seems to run well, but grub2 can't be installed [13:52] I need to get squid starting without testing for dns. [13:53] does anybody know where the new syslog server daemon resides? [13:53] the old one was, i believe, /sbin/syslogd === aa is now known as Guest25377 [13:53] hi [13:53] pagiz - at this point, synapitics is telling me that I have nearly every driver available installed. Not sure how that happened. [13:54] i've been running into a nasty bug on x64 when i increase the main memory from 2gb to 4gb. repro'd with two dimm vendors. i can't find anyone with a similar problem though. laptop is a d830 [13:54] anarcap: check this out, it will tell you how to restore your xorg.conf http://absolutebeginner.wordpress.com/2006/09/15/restoring-your-previous-xorgconf-file/ [13:54] As an aside - who made the decision to remove CTRL+ALT+Function key ??? [13:54] pagiz - what happens if I uninstall all of the drivers and then just install ATI's proprietary driver again, from their website? [13:54] I can't configure these two parameters wap_supplicant.conf [13:54] Authentication-Type = EAP [13:54] EAP-Type = Smart Card or other certificate" [13:55] I'm trying to install Cherokee (the web server). henrik@bass:~$ /usr/sbin/cherokee start/usr/sbin/cherokee-worker: error while loading shared libraries: libcherokee-base.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [13:55] Segmentation fault [13:55] wesley_, http://pastie.org/704142 -> dump this in a file in /etc/init [13:55] pagiz - my xorg.conf has always been totally empty. there has been no change to my config file. [13:55] Any suggestions on what might be the problem? Obviously it's something with libcherokee. [13:55] @cwillu thanks for your time [13:56] anarcap: Then I have no idea. Sry. [13:56] anarcap, you installed fglrx? [13:57] @cwillu should it not go into /etc/event.d? [13:57] wesley_, no, /etc/init is where upstart jobs live as of 9.10 [13:57] pagiz - one of the commands in that tutorial just returned 'command not found' [13:57] anarcap: what command ? [13:58] I'm trying to install Cherokee (the web server). henrik@bass:~$ /usr/sbin/cherokee start/usr/sbin/cherokee-worker: error while loading shared libraries: libcherokee-base.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Segmentation fault [13:58] anarcap: could you link the tutorial ?

[13:58] ok guys i just wiped all of my .gnome folders and rebooted and now when i log it i get an error every time stating that it cannot find a systray [13:58] what does that mean and how can i fix it? [13:58] Linux teabag 2.6.28-16-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 20 19:48:24 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [13:58] Is that more than 9.10 [13:58] ? [13:58] No [13:58] anarcap, you're trying to remove fglrx, right? [13:58] jcrawford, why did you wipe the folders? [13:59] jcrawford: silly. [13:59] @cwillu I think I'm on 9.04 [13:59] cwillu_at_work - fglrx? Apparenlty: Synaptic says I have fglrx-kernal-source and xorg-driver-fglrx installed, or and fglrx-amdocccle and fglrx-modaliases. And a few other drivers as well. [13:59] wesley_, oh, in that case the upstart job is probably different, and yes, it would go in /etc/event.d [13:59] linkyPre, because start-up apps were not working and someone said it sounded like a gnome session error i thought it was worth a shot :) [13:59] I'm guessing your system is looking for something that was in .gnome [13:59] so how can i get that error to go away? [13:59] linkyPre, i think so too lol [13:59] wesley_, be aware that 9.10 actually has an /etc/init.d/ job for ushare already, although the upstart job I gave you is significantly cleaner [13:59] pagiz - it's the tutorial you just sent me: http://absolutebeginner.wordpress.com/2006/09/15/restoring-your-previous-xorgconf-file/ [13:59] pagiz - this command dirapp-defaults gdm xorg.conf Xsession.dapplnk rgb.txt xorg.conf~ Xsession.optionsconfig susewm xorg.conf.20060807011320 Xwrapper.configcursors X Xresourcesdefault-display-manager xinit xserverfonts xkb Xsession [14:00] hmm, my num keypad does not work anymore in karmic, pressing numlock does not maky any difference [14:00] anarcap, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver is probably better information [14:00] pagiz - o. that's not a command is it? [14:00] ""Problem: Need to fully remove -fglrx and reinstall -ati from scratch"" [14:00] pagiz - im retarded [14:00] anarcap: my head hurts [14:00] enter works, but not the number keys [14:00] mine doesn't, listen to me! :p [14:00] pagiz - sorry bro. [14:01] jcrawford, think you can boot into kde or something and reinstall gome [14:01] gnome* [14:01] anarcap: no its not a command [14:01] anarcap: its the directory [14:01] I'm trying to install Cherokee (the web server). henrik@bass:~$ /usr/sbin/cherokee start/usr/sbin/cherokee-worker: error while loading shared libraries: libcherokee-base.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Segmentation fault.. Any suggestions on how to fix this?! [14:01] @cwillu for the squid one do I just change the last line to "exec '/usr/sbin/squid -D -YC'" [14:01] wesley_, yep [14:01] linkyPre, why would i need to reinstall gnome? it was my user files not global files [14:01] ~/.gnome [14:02] wesley_, also, see /etc/event.d/tty1 for an alternate set of start/stop lines that should work if the ones I gave you don't [14:02] they should have been re-created when i logged back in [14:02] wesley_, I'm not sure if the syntax I used is usable in 9.04 [14:02] Pagiz unfortunagtely that tutorial reference a file I don't have -- "You should pinpoint two files, they are the file swith which e are going to work: xorg.conf xorg.conf.?????????" What the heck is that? === Cpudan80_ is now known as Cpudan80 [14:02] jcrawford, figured that would restore everything. maybe you could boot into live cd and copy .gnome [14:02] Anyone know a good console app I can use in a cron job that reports CPU usage? [14:03] jcrawford, not a guru at this at all, still learning and that's my best guess [14:03] anarcap, you can just delete your xorg.conf file, it's not needed with the setup you're trying to get back to, if I understand the advice you're trying to undo correctly :p [14:03] linkyPre, or better yet create a new user and copy .gnome :) [14:03] cwillu_at_work - thanks. that link looks good [14:03] or that too! [14:04] cwillu_at_work - I don't know what setup I'm trying to get back to...unfortunately. [14:04] anarcap, a working one I presume :p [14:04] anarcap, the default ubuntu install would be using the open source ati drivers; fglrx (ati's proprietary driver) is utter crap when it comes to install/uninstall/everything-else :p [14:04] @khamer iostat [14:05] wesley_, iostat? checking it out [14:05] anarcap, the instructions on that page are blessed by our official x maintainer [14:05] wesley_, perfect, thanks [14:05] jcrawford, let me know how that works out [14:05] Hello, please tell me which room is dedicated for netbook remix? [14:06] cwillu_at_work - ok. I thought fglrx was an open source ATI driver, not the proprietary driver. [14:06] cwillu_at_work - what is -ati then? === pagiz is now known as pagiz^off [14:06] no, fglrx is the closed driver that in theory has better 3d performance, but which doesn't interact with compiz well at all === pagiz^off is now known as pagiz [14:06] ati is the open driver included in xorg [14:07] confusingly, nvidia is the closed nvidia driver, and nv is the open nvidia driver :p [14:07] how do i install again the volume slider/manager that appears on the gnome-panel?? somehow i think i remove it, please help... === jmrodri-gone is now known as jmrodri [14:08] magg, right click on the panel, select "add to panel", find volume control, and drag it to the panel [14:08] cwillu_at_work - well I'm going to try to fully remove -fglrx and reinstall -ati from scratch according to the direction on that page you sent me. Hopefully it works and don't get a busted grub loader on restart. [14:09] cwillu_at_work: i cant seem to find it there... [14:09] anarcap, pm me if you get in any more trouble :p [14:09] cwillu_at_work - tomorrow I'm going to the store to buy a new nVidia card. [14:09] @magg the volume control is part of gnome-applets package [14:09] did anyone else get flooded with DCC [14:09] anarcap, nice, works better with compiz generally. However, I don't know that it'll help your tearing flash video problems :( [14:10] magg: did you remove pulseaudio? [14:10] wesley_ ok i'll install that package [14:10] * cwillu_at_work shushes, the volume control has moved :p [14:10] @magg so apt-get install gnome-applets but I would listen to cwillu as the applets are probably already installed [14:10] cankoy, yep [14:10] cwillu_at_work PS. I have seen that "Who's On first" sketch. Old school... [14:10] magg: it doesn't work w/o pulse [14:10] wesley_, no volume control there anymore, it shows up in the indicator panel [14:10] damn [14:11] @maybe I'll go and do the upgrade to 10 now.... :p [14:11] hi all, I need some help with xmonad on a netbook with external monitor. [14:11] magg, in a terminal, run "pidof pulseaudio", and tell me if it gives anything back [14:11] cwillu_at_work - I noticed that at the end of the instructions it says: "Then reboot (or fix up the kernel modules and restart gdm) ". Will have to "fix up kernal modules"? because I don't know how to do that. [14:12] anarcap, then just reboot [14:12] why dont i get a zip file in the atachment? uuencode /var/MysqlBackUp/Copia.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).zip | sendmail -v cesarsilvaaraujo@gmail.com [14:12] So I managed to install XMonad 0.9, and set up .xsession (/usr/local/bin/xmonad.start script with the same content as my .xsession), as can be seen here: http://gist.github.com/237844 [14:12] cwillu_at_work - figured. [14:12] cwillu_at_work: nothing back [14:12] anarcap, it's just a note that it's possible to do it without rebooting, useful if you're swapping stuff back and forth during development, etc [14:12] Now when I start XMonad from gdm (the destop file was modified to use /usr/local/bin/xmonad.start) or via startx [14:12] magg, pulseaudio isn't running [14:12] the script executes for a while: to the point of running xrandr (or if it runs, it's not setting up my monitors), then won't run xmonad (from .xsession-errors: xmonad-i386-linux: user error (openDisplay) [14:12] magg, run "pulseaudio -D" [14:12] if I can't boot after this - what is the replacement for CTRL [14:12] Note: if I comment out most of the lines from .xsession - xrdb, xsetroot and exec stays uncommented - I can start xmonad. [14:12] +ALT+F1? [14:13] magg, anything? [14:14] cwillu_at_work: mmm installing pulseaudio did the trick [14:14] yo [14:14] magg, who suggested that you uninstall pulseaudio? I need to go beat them with a stick :p [14:14] cwillu_at_work: E: main.c: Daemon startup failed. [14:15] hehehe [14:15] magg, if you just reinstalled pulseaudio, you should be fine [14:15] oook [14:15] sorry [14:15] it failed to start because it was already running (as evidenced by the volume control returning) [14:15] cwillu_at_work: thanks a lot [14:15] buenas [14:16] np === maxim is now known as Guest50661 [14:16] why dont i get a zip file in the atachment? uuencode /var/MysqlBackUp/Copia.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).zip | sendmail -v cesarsilvaaraujo@gmail.com [14:16] hey, my printer (HP C 4180 -AllinOne) is not working anymore after upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 [14:16] @brixsat did you try mutt? [14:17] cwillu_at_work - That worked!!! Thanks! I have to reset my compiz settings, but it worked! [14:17] @hk what's the problem with it? === rcaskey is now known as ^robertj [14:17] @hk and how is it connected? usb + network [14:18] find -size + 334MB , is this command correct ? [14:18] geirha: ^ [14:18] geirha: find -size + 334MB , is this command correct ? [14:18] hk__99: does hplip not see it anymore or?

[14:20] DasEi: yeah [14:20] how can i switch into ubuntu console during installation to see what error messages are given? [14:20] i'm installing ubuntu server currently [14:21] @tsunami lsusb come back with anything? [14:21] DasEi: what I am thinking is tunneling a vnc port and doing it with the gui if there isn't a quick fix [14:21] yeah [14:21] it did [14:21] i think its the toshiba hit that came out [14:21] geirha: find -size +334M , doesn't show anything [14:21] !ics [14:21] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [14:22] @tusami mkdir /media/usbdrive then mount /dev/sdX /media/usbdrive [14:22] tsunami_: as root [14:22] yofel, any other ideas?

[14:30] yofel, not really, the weird thing is that the scanner(which is integrated in the printer) still works fine but the printer doesnt work at all [14:30] markizano: no keyboard? [14:30] jk sorry [14:30] hk__99: then I'm out of ideas... sry [14:30] after I login, the screen flashes and then i'm led back to the GDM login screen [14:31] anyone else having printer issues since ubuntu 9.10? =/ [14:31] tsunami_: lol [14:31] markizano: /why/ did you reinstall gdm? [14:31] Hi folks [14:32] yofel: I had accidentally uninstalled it when i targeted gvfs [14:32] yofel: gvfs for uninstall... [14:32] markizano: err.... why do you want to uninstall gvfs? [14:33] i tried recursively setting my home directory in owership of myself, but that doesn't seem to help, and i'm leery about recursively setting 755 or 644 [14:33] markizano: do you have gvfs installed at the moment or not? [14:33] yofel: idk, I jst had this thing about that ~/.gvfs folder and nothing being able to access it, debian works fine without it, so why not? [14:33] yofel: currently, no [14:34] hi - my computer has been hacked and i got a message - bouncing attack and a window askink for password - what is that?? === aaron11_ is now known as domkiania [14:35] markizano, you won't be able to take ownership of ~/.gvfs while you have gnome up, try booting up into recovery mode [14:35] markizano: I don't know too much about gvfs but gnome uses it for quite some things, and debian iirc has an older version of gnome, can you try to install ubuntu-desktop and see if that fixes your issue? [14:35] question running ubuntu in virtual machine and I can get it to connect to internet, using vmware workstation, host os is win7 x64 ultimate...connection used is bridge... [14:35] can't [14:35] @ mgv2 best thing to do is work offline and re-image your machine after taking a backup. [14:35] yofel: i dn't either and is one of the reasons I removed it :P [14:35] I installed karmic with home dir encryption on a machine with a screwed up controller... some file corruption happened which seems to have killed the boot process. I've moved the hd to another machine and I've got a spare drive; what I'd like to do is back up just a few files from my home dir and then re-install. I have the funky long key that karmic gave me for the encrypted volume... how might i mount it and get data out of it? [14:36] Can the 9.10 Live CD write to HFS+? [14:36] Or at least NTFS? [14:36] How do you do manually (CLI) what "usb-creator-gtk" does? [14:36] Any here use a hardware based modem? [14:36] yofel, its working again fortunately : ) i had to re-setup HPLIP, thanks : ) [14:36] hk__99: :) [14:36] @mgv2 of course I'd abandon any system files (startup files/binaries etc..) from the backup in case the root kit has been hidden in them somewhere.... [14:37] markizano: well, hard to debug then, looked at ~/.xsession-errors? [14:37] question running ubuntu in virtual machine and I can't get it to connect to internet, using vmware workstation, host os is win7 x64 ultimate...connection used is bridge... [14:38] 9.10 live CD - does it support writing to preferrably HFS+ or at least NTFS? [14:38] wesley_, do you suggest to install ubuntu over again? [14:38] mgv2, what were you doinf when you were asked for password , linux requires passwords to access to read/write/edit files [14:38] Whoa... come in this morning and had a shitload of DCC BOUNCEATTACK.TXT requests... wtf is that? [14:38] hc: don't know about HFS+, but it should be able to write to ntfs [14:39] Awesome. Then let's hope I can recover this corrupted drive then. [14:39] @mgv2 if you have been hacked yes. [14:39] BluesKaj nothing - i was on irc and in the morning i saw a message [14:39] yofel: uhm... .xsession-errors just reports some missing file from a previous bashrc: `shopt not found' I just took those lines out [14:39] wesley_, so i will install everything again [14:40] !attack | Fenix|work [14:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about attack [14:40] in what form did the message arrive , mgv2 ? [14:40] hi === fringe is now known as Fringe [14:40] * DCC RECV BOUNCEATTACK.TXT to vMZDWQYNm aborted. [14:40] @mgv2 that decision is yours [14:40] user was always random [14:40] markizano: well, can you try to install ubuntu-desktop and see if you can login after that? If it does not just remove everything it installed again [14:40] Fenix|work: please ignore that, it was an attack attempt. [14:40] wesley_, @ doesn't work on irc [14:41] seems freenode is under lame attack [14:41] yofel: ok, i just installed ubuntu-desktop and it looks like it has the other packages that were removed when I took out gvfs, so I'm going to try that [14:41] !ot [14:41] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:41] BluesKaj, like a bounceattack.txt and a in a filesystem window [14:41] How do you make a USB startup disk manually? [14:41] Unetbootin [14:41] @mgv2 my advice is that the amount of time spent cleaning a box from being hacked outweighs the time it takes to re-image it. [14:41] yofel: thanks much :) [14:41] @blueskaj what do we use instead? [14:41] BluesKaj, at the title of the window - and a lot of windows poped up [14:41] someone on irc was attacking you with a script [14:41] markizano: ubuntu-desktop is a package that doesn't do anything except pull in everything that is needed to run the default ubuntu-desktop [14:41] wesley_, just use the presons nick [14:42] mgv2, don't be silly, that was a channel-wide attack that everybody on this channel got. there is no need to reinstall anything [14:42] person [14:42] BluesKaj, was definately lame... [14:42] BluesKaj, the attacks came from over a dozen diff nnicks [14:42] wesley_, re-image = install from dvd? [14:42] markizano: so installing that should make sure that you have at least the original installation apps installed [14:42] blueskaj ok thanks. I've got a swedish character set activated and this makes life a lot easier! :) [14:42] Ok, I've got a gnome auto-hide panel that suddenly does not want to hide anymore. Anyone have a clue? [14:42] mgv2 - let's take a step back. You said you were hacked yeah? [14:42] yofel: yea, looks everything is back to normal, including gvfs :S but if it works i'm not going to mess with it again ... thanks again =) [14:43] markizano: yw [14:43] :) i'm out [14:43] i think he just got attacked from a dcc flood [14:43] mgv2, if you're talking about all the bounceattack.txt files... if you closed them all you are safe and don't need to do anything [14:43] mgv2 the message " bouncing attack and a window askink for password" where did you see this? [14:43] wesley_, i saw a lot of windows - a message and it asked for password - isnt it a hack? [14:44] mbeierl: is it still set to autohide? do you have a preferences window for the panel open? [14:44] mgv2, many xchat windows? [14:44] lotsa attack stuff happens on irc , but it doesn't necessarily mean you're vulnersbale unles you respond , and alot of those scripts are trying to open into windows pcs [14:44] kostkon, not xchat windows - filesystem windows [14:44] kostkon, but im not sure [14:44] VCoolio: DOH! I just found the add to panel window still open hidden behind another - it's hiding again now, thanks! [14:44] what windwos exactly [14:45] mgv2, xchat will open a filesystem window to let you pick where you want to save the attack file... [14:45] wesley_, on the screen [14:45] I just got rid of 50 of them, all of them I aborted. [14:45] just go to the target window, hit ctrl+a, then abort. [14:45] hello i have a problem with trafic to a ubuntu station....cant setup programs accessibe from the net on it..... [14:45] does em al at once. [14:45] mgv2, you are ok, i think. no need to worry [14:45] mgv2, turn off the dcc auto accept inyour irc client , if it's on [14:45] Fenix|work, so that might be the case - so it isnt a hack right? just anoyying attack attempt? [14:46] mgv2, yeap [14:46] is there a way to install mcc to system [14:46] !topic [14:46] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [14:46] network manager not able to connect dsl [14:46] ok thank you - i will try to look of the dcc auto thing [14:46] mgv2, if you didn't save the files and then run them, you are perfectly fine... just some lame-o script kiddie with nothing better to do. [14:47] ok- thanks all [14:47] esde_, it may be off topic, but several of us over the last few hours received DCC requests for an attack script... on this channel. [14:47] Fenix|work, as did I. Has the problem not been throuroghly addressed yet? [14:48] network manager not able to connect DSL [14:48] how can i make my ntfs partitions log in automatically without authentication ? [14:48] i need mcc [14:48] !fstab | x_ [14:48] ranjan, distro, provider, etc please. we need details [14:48] x_: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[14:49] esde_, people respond with varying levels of confusion. mgv2 was wanting to reinstall his entire ubuntu box because he thought he was hacked... so even though we're talking about the dcc attempts, a couple of us just saved him from having to reinstall... which isn't quite off topic [14:49] esde_, actually it had a bug in ther RC and was solved by an update [14:49] ranjan, what are you inputting to network manager? what errors if any are you getting? [14:49] Ok Fenix|work, i wasn't trying to be dick, just getting repetive with that convo y'know? [14:49] how to i remote control (VNC) the ubuntu computer over internet ?

I just came on a couple of minutes ago, and made a comment... :) [14:50] yes i dont like to reinstall systems- i thought it may be caused of ubuntu one - still im not sure how much secured is ubuntu one [14:51] Fenix|work, i think it may have somew thing to do with location , if you are in the mediterranean area then i suspect you and mgv2 and othersare in that are. Am I correct ? [14:51] area [14:52] Ari_Scot, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC [14:52] hi , if i install some apps in the usb startup disk and later install ubuntu from dat usb , will the installed apps available in the installed system ??

Can you print something in openoffice? [14:54] llo peole [14:54] ranjan, i'm sorry i don't have any support for you. i do suggest deleting all current settings and taking it step by step to reconfigure. you may be surprised and realize you missed something. [14:54] i just used the basic pdf viewer [14:54] im gonna reboot and try okular [14:55] jackfox, when working live the instance gets saved if you configured it for persistence [14:55] Fenix|work, tbh im not much into linux anymore as my new job keeps me on windows and i dont have time to use my ubuntu anymore. :-/ im just here for simple quewstions [14:55] esde_, this is the third reinstallation and uptodate update :( [14:55] brixsat - so we learned that a single command to send an attachment could be "mutt -s "Subject" -a /path/to/file.zip -b recipient@domain.com < /tmp/bodytext.txt" [14:55] yes i configured it for persistence [14:55] ranjan, 9.04 try it. [14:55] ranjan: the question was will the installed softwares will also come in the newly installed ubuntu [14:55] is there a guide like this for a more recent version of ubuntu https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent - some steps are not the same [14:55] esde_, i m going to switch to mandriva [14:55] ranjan, are you sure you're typing in the correct username and password?

I tried through labview options,, but did not succeed === st3ffen_ is now known as st3ffen [14:56] om26er, it wont [14:56] esde_, My primary employment is windows based... but forcing more and more linux into the mix [14:56] jackfox: as i told u that's not possible [14:56] epinky [14:56] do you have to have SSH to login in on VNC and why cant anyone access port 15001 on the computer ? [14:56] om26er, if u want that to be possible you should remaster the live image [14:56] i may begin to use it more. however we are microsoft partners, and do only windows repairs, and have a lot of money invested into windows. my boss sees it a waste to use linux. [14:57] Same question as yesterday: I have a system with a 3 disk LVM. The system (8.10) is installed on a separate disk. Now I want to perform a clean install of 9.10. What do I need todo to enable my LVM in the new install without losing all my data? [14:57] eh i think i forgot what my problem was. [14:57] bye [14:57] ranjan: not my question jackfox asked it. and btw remastersys did not work for me in karmic [14:58] hey one last question ?? i'm gonna install karmic over jaunty ... is it really worth the effort ?? [14:58] so, just finished my switch over from linux again yesterday, I used ubuntu a while back, when it was gusty gibbin, kinda nice to be back on it [14:58] esde_, just tell your boss that Microsoft has an Open Source Lab and continuously work with open source entities to make it better... IE Samba... Microsoft has been the driving force for it's improvement the last few years.

[14:58] ranjan: how to do that? [14:58] thnx om26er , i'm gonna do it rite now thnx buddies [14:58] Fenix|work, i prefer anything open source over windows. period. i compute, i dont play. y'know? [14:59] jackfox, do an upgrade, not an install over an existing install... unless you're going to format the partitions and blow everything away [14:59] jackfox : i would say keep jaunty [14:59] friendishan: I thought one more try here... because I want to reinstall tonight. [14:59] jackfox: is a little poll, karmic comes with ext4, grub2 in default, and some minor improvements leading to lucid, not a big jump from jaunty [14:59] wait a while jackfox [14:59] jackfox : jaunty is more stable than karmic [14:59] om26er, there are tutorial available...by that we are actually modifying the Live image (filesystem.squashfs) and we can include any number of applications we want [14:59] jackfox : i prefer waiting till April [15:00] * om26er says are you people kidding [15:00] CyberJack77 : ok good luck [15:00] friendishan: Why april ?? [15:00] when is the next LTS release coming out? [15:00] any one? [15:00] DasEi, not at all a big jump :( [15:00] jackfox: most probably the new release will be released at that time. [15:00] ranjan: Is some work to do, but compared to hardy.. I won't switch back [15:00] jackfox : and i think it will be more stable [15:01] ? [15:01] !lts | Fenix|work [15:01] Fenix|work: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.

The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [15:01] my hard disk is blown up and i've to install ubuntu again .. my question is jaunty or karmic ???? [15:01] jackfox : anyway, karmic is faster than jaunty but a bit unstable [15:01] friendishan: how about you just tell people just wait for every LTS. [15:01] Dasda, thanks. [15:01] jackfox: what is blown ? [15:01] DasEi, i could not use it with a quite mind...lot of bugs...i havent encountered these much bugs before :( [15:01] DasEi, April right? :) [15:02] Fenix|work: yes [15:02] om26er: i just said my opinion [15:02] jackfox, go fro karmic definitely... host of useful features [15:02] om26er : my friend upgraded but he is having a lot of crashes [15:02] sunketh, what features do u find my friend?? [15:02] i think i'm scared enough .. bugs in karmic ??? oh im confused .. jaunty or karmic ???

[15:03] jackfox, use jaunty... [15:03] I am having trouble installing, anyone know some tricks? [15:03] i heard Karmic has got more support for intel graphics is dat rite ?

[15:04] jackfox, that is right but .... first of all the most ugliest distro from the one who can make it the most beautiful [15:04] jackfox, there is no correct answer, karmic, jaunty or hardy (latest LTS) are all suitable options [15:04] hello [15:04] depends on your hw and needs what is best [15:04] !patience | sampo [15:04] sampo: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

I had a similer issue ages ago with some creative cards [17:43] Catalin: check the mixer settings, it sounds like the channel is either muted or low volume [17:44] DasEi2 only one is labeled as linux and that is sdb1 [17:44] please, help me to install Cindelerra.

[17:47] Yancho: `fsck` is a wrapper for the filesystem-specific checkers. You can use either. [17:47] Yancho:try e2fsck -p first, it'll then suggest - if needed- other solutions , make sure fs is NOT mounted there [17:47] all three, gnome, kubuntu, and xubuntu [17:47] will the installation know how to hansle it? or I'll need to manually install it?

[17:50] Ddorda: boot up, shut down, and the automatic disk checking after the 23 or so boots, well Ext4 will do that, but there is a slight chance that something might happen bad with Ext4 in 9.04, but that probably won't happen to you. you can have important data backed up else where anyway, which your meant to do really === callmeglenn is now known as Guest3520 [17:50] BluesKaj, both of them are OK [17:50] what should i do next?

[18:05] mgv2: depends on your card try system > administration > hardware drivers [18:06] alejandro: there should be an application called "add/remove" if 9.04 or "software center" if 9.10 that will let you install ubuntu-restricted-extras [18:06] hi [18:06] Yancho: sudo touch /frocefsck && sudo reboot [18:06] nemo, u have the latest gfx drivers?

[18:06] docmax: well. on my ATI machine right now - using whatever ubuntu 9.10 feels is what I should be using [18:07] freeride: dependancies hmm aptitude is better at dealing with them. sudo aptitude install [18:07] my site might of gotten hacked which logs am i checking? [18:07] docmax: however I haven't rebooted in 19 days [18:07] * llutz notices: read what you type [18:07] to make sure [18:07] where can i find the add/remove or software center app?

[18:07] sebsebseb, Surlent777 it says that there are no drivers in use which are from companies [18:07] alejandro: should be at the bottom of the top panel > applicaitons [18:07] my boss got an asus eee with the 160GB harddrive and I was going to set up an ubuntu install for him. i was wondering if it would boot faster if i installed it onto an sd card or usb stick (which he'd prefer) or if installing it right on the harddrive would be faster? [18:07] dajhorn: I'm not sure. I have a intermittent video problem pre-xorg, and I'm trying to track that down; but I don't know if this is the cause. [18:07] sahilsk_, mgv2: it shows nvidia drivers on mine [18:08] mgv2: ok which card? [18:08] ok again: i need a real good explorer replacement [18:08] transface: installing onto the hard disk would be better as far as I know [18:08] sebsebseb, i dont know [18:08] nope no applications [18:08] Squideshi: Boot with the noacpi and noapic options, and check whether the glitch and whatever X11 problem you've got resolve.

[18:12] one sec, i will check Surlent777's suggestions [18:12] good thing about linux. its easy to try out dozens of file managers [18:12] dajhorn: Thanks. You've been very helpful. [18:12] DSheth: uhmm [18:12] Squideshi: Or run an older kernel. The kernel in karmic is somewhat flakey. [18:12] Dr_Willis, only file managers windows had was File Manager and Windows Explorer [18:12] sebsebseb did you read my question [18:12] llutz: i am at the live cd .. should i type the comand you gave me in terminal or not ? [18:13] musclesbobby: seq 1 10 [18:13] Dr_Willis: what I do wish there was under linux was an SVN (or Hg or Git) client as polished as Tortoise. [18:13] Lint: and the changes from 95 to Windows 7 have been great.. comparing win95's to win7's file manager [18:13] llutz: thank you [18:13] anybody have any experience recovering a lost partition from a drive that is failing? [18:13] northmanor: I recovered mine from totally dead drive [18:13] DSheth: yes [18:13] oh, man, ok, my next question.How can i make a repository on a separate computer accessible through intranet??

Can anybody help me? [18:14] DSheth: what are you trying to do exactly? [18:14] northmanor: luckily though, that was 'cause I was able to seek/skip past the failing blocks in dd [18:14] Dr_Willis, thumbnails, custom columns and sidebars? it's not hardly a difference [18:14] Lint: whatever. :) === levy_ is now known as nozes_ [18:14] tried testdisk and it said it couldn't recover it,. this is running it on the drive itself [18:14] sebsebseb trying to install program called salome [18:14] llutz: i already did e2fsck .. should i do fsck now ? [18:14] northmanor: I understand if the drive isn't even viewable as a device, if you're out of other ideas *sometimes* freezing it can help [18:14] docmax, what exactly feature do you need? [18:14] DSheth: I had a look at the stuff you put properly just now. What is salome? [18:14] this disk hasn't totally failed just many bad sectors/failing [18:14] northmanor: but if you're able to do dd - dump an image FIRST [18:14] sebsebseb its a cad based model program [18:15] northmanor: theres also 'ddrescue' and 'dd_rescue' that can work better then 'dd' in many ways [18:15] can see the drive as a device /dev/sda .. but the partitions i want aren't listed when i do fdisk -l [18:15] DSheth: oh [18:15] northmanor: well. maybe you just lost your partition table [18:15] Lint, the same "feeling" like windows explorer [18:15] DSheth: and your new to DesktopLinux? [18:15] i have no knowledge of how to use dd [18:15] sebsebseb yes [18:15] I need help getting CPU temp on my HP touchsmart tx2... sensors-detect didnt find anything :/ [18:15] oh, man, ok, my next question.How can i make a repository on a separate computer accessible through intra net?? [18:15] hard to describe... even XFE is like windows explorer... it hast not this "feeling" [18:15] DSheth: ok uhmm [18:15] can someone help me put, can't connect to internet, host os = win 7 x64 ultimate, guess ubuntu, software =vmware workstation, have the setting set as bridge... [18:15] northmanor: you can recover lost partitions w/ gpart (not gparted) [18:15] huh, I have a ghost [18:15] DSheth: it's probably not in there, but have you chcked the Ubuntu repos to see if it is? [18:16] tried gpart to rewrite the partitions.. found them but when i reboot they still not there [18:16] northmanor: well. maybe gparted too these days, who knows :) [18:16] !info salone [18:16] Package salone does not exist in karmic [18:16] !info saolome [18:16] Package saolome does not exist in karmic [18:16] sahilsk_: i use apt-cacher-ng to let my main machine cache the packages to the rest of the lan. but its not a complete repository. [18:16] sebsebseb what do you mean i need to make the script file [18:16] anyway, GNOME is screwed up, bad...I just logged back out and then back in, and now compiz is dead and so is nautilus' desktop manager part [18:16] northmanor: before mucking about w/ the disc really grab an image first - or multiple images if your drive has sporadic failures [18:16] northmanor: attempting fixes on a failing drive is pointless [18:16] DSheth: most programs for Ubuntu you will install from their download server [18:16] DSheth: the repos the resporitories [18:16] is there a way to play encrypted ripped dvd [18:16] oh, man, ok, my next question.How can i make a repository on a separate computer accessible through intranet??i need to do it for a lab, which have no internet access. Dr_willis. [18:16] sebsebseb not its not there [18:16] !info salome [18:16] Package salome does not exist in karmic [18:16] ubud: yes Lib DVD CSS 2 or 3 [18:17] sahilsk_: no idea. Ive never bothered to do that. :) [18:17] !medibuntu | ubud [18:17] ubud: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [18:17] DSheth: yes that's what I thought [18:17] ubud: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/RippingDVDs [18:17] sebsebseb i have to install sources and build it myself for this linux version [18:17] DSheth: where did you download it from? [18:17] DasEi: llutz after e2fsck should i do again fsck as u told me llutz ? [18:17] sebsebseb: have done that, but still cannot [18:17] sebsebseb from the salome website [18:17] sahilsk_: vlc/mplayer can play dvd iso files , and 'directories' of the contents and .vob files - You still may need the decss stuff installed [18:17] can someone help me put, can't connect to internet, host os = win 7 x64 ultimate, guess ubuntu, software =vmware workstation, have the setting set as bridge..., in ubuntu i let it find etho [18:17] so my question would be, what in the hell is making GNOME so buggy this time around? This used to be my stable WM...I was using KDE, but it keeps wanting to crash when ZSNES exits, and takes forever to get rid of the screensaver =/ [18:18] Dr_Willis, : what basically apt-cacher-ng. do? could you please elaborate it. i am googling too. [18:18] ubud: VLC can open DVD ISO files with libdvdcss installed. [18:18] dajhorn: vlc also cannot [18:18] Yancho: result of e2fsck -p ? [18:18] nemo: if i grab the image i imagine i have to put it on a whole other drive or can i use free space on a drive i'm using? [18:18] Surlent: is gnome or the wm crashing?? [18:18] sahilsk_: one machine serves as the 'cache' all box's get their updates/packages from it first.. and if it dosent have it.. it gets it and adds it to the cache so the rest of the lan dont have to get it from the internet. [18:18] DasEi: the msg i pasted to u before [18:19] DSheth: maybe there's a Deb for Ubuntu I guess not, ok uhmmm you need someone to help you compile it from source it seems, since I don't compile stuff from source that often. [18:19] northmanor: ummm. whatever you do do NOT keep using the failing drive. period. fullstop [18:19] I have usb tv tuner Gigabyte u8000, in jaunty works (digital) fine, in karmic (digital) doesn't. I try install jaunty kernel, with this kernel wscan (program for scanning digital channels) give error, that can't find digital device, with kernel from kernel it find device, but in dmesg is this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/321720/ and it doesn't do anything.. Can anybody help me? [18:19] ubud: Ensure that the the entire VLC stack is from the medibuntu repository. If you've installed anything locally, then you can get breakage. [18:19] northmanor: get another drive, ideally a much larger drive, do all your work there [18:19] Yancho: k, then try without p-option and report result again [18:19] sebsebseb ive managed to install the source files [18:19] DasEi it said: /dev/sdb1: 29xxxx/57xxx files (1.7% non-contiguous), 19xxx/23xxx blocks [18:19] maco: TWICE now I've deleted all my .gnome and .gnome2 folders, to get a clean shot at it, and it seems to work, so I set up Compiz's custom settings as normal, log out, and it's dead...but it all worked before, at one point.. [18:19] ok DasEi doing so [18:19] nemo: the only other free drive i have is much smaller :( === entv6 is now known as entropy [18:20] northmanor: drives are cheap these days === entropy is now known as ent === werdan7_ is now known as werdan7 [18:20] Surlent: so youre saying compiz is broken? [18:20] maco: I can get into GNOME, and it seems to load okay, but compiz is off and I can't get any desktop icons or right-click [18:20] DasEi: it said /sv/sdb1 clean [18:20] ok, i'll have to grab one later today [18:20] DSheth: uhmm well do whatever issue your having now, and hopefuly someone else will try and help you [18:20] dajhorn: it is from medibuntu, when the AVI is play with VLC is display a screen stated the movie is encrypted [18:20] maco: So I don't know if it's Compiz, nautilus, or a combination of the two [18:20] Yancho: so you're fine on fs-checking [18:20] sebsebseb ok [18:20] nemo: are bad sectors gonna be an issue when trying to get the image? [18:21] DasEi: but the reboot still said kernel panic [18:21] Surlent: pretty much any time something works with metacity but not with compiz, it gets treated as likely a compiz bug [18:21] nemo: also what do i use to capture the image.. have any links? === entropy is now known as Guest85859 [18:21] northmanor: quite possibly. might have to do seek/skip [18:21] DSheth: ask the question to the whole channel [18:21] northmanor: you could try this ddrescue thing he mentioned, but I have no familiarity === Guest85859 is now known as ent [18:21] Yancho: tried safe mode ? [18:21] maco: compiz isn't on now...metacity seems to be, but I have no desktop icons or right-click menu, though my wallpaper is still there [18:21] northmanor: dd if=/dev/sda of=rescueimage bs=16M [18:22] ubud: First, play a regular physical DVD with VLC to check that VLC is actualy working. Second, reprocess the ISO file with a tool like vobcopy or dvdbackup. [18:22] yes thats how i loaded it .. and i got the error as per foto again DasEi [18:22] northmanor: if it fails, make a note of where it fails, and seek/skip past it [18:22] Surlent: can you open gconf-editor and check nautilus's settings? [18:22] Yancho: ? [18:22] northmanor: might have to use bs closer to actual sector size if you get failures [18:22] can someone help me out, can't connect to internet, host os = win 7 x64 ultimate, guess ubuntu, software =vmware workstation, have the setting set as bridge..., in ubuntu i let it find etho [18:22] Dr_Willis, : if i installed all the packages in one machine , then no mahcine on the intra net need to be connected to the internet to get it installed. do you have more such possible solutions. apt-cacher-ng : make a cache of installed packages or of the downloaded pacakges?sorry, novice .here... [18:22] I need hosting recommendations please. got a site that proabably needs 4heads. expecting up to 800,000 users over a couple days. up for one month. scary [18:22] maco: What should I be looking for? volumes_visible is checked [18:23] sahilsk_: you are not going to insall 'every single package thats in the repos' on one box :) [18:23] Navop: I hope that's just for trying Ubuntu and later you will put it on the hard disk for real, try #vmware for your issue [18:23] Navop: that seems more like a vmware issue than an ubuntu one. [18:23] DasEi: i restarted into safe mode but it still told me the same error as the photo i pasted when i started asking for help [18:23] Navop: You're asking for help in the wrong place. Note that you cannot use VMware bridged mode if your Internet connection is DSL+PPPoE. [18:23] Yancho: url again ? [18:24] Navop: http://communities.vmware.com/ [18:24] Surlent: nautilus/preferences "show desktop"?

[18:24] maco: checked [18:24] Dr_Willis, : i have too . Bcoz i need to make the lab totally isolated from the intranet, runnning on ubuntu. And ubuntu demands internet. so , cant i installed all the necessary pacakges all at once in the main machine ? what are its flaws? [18:25] Navop: well for security reasons and such it's usally best to avoide running Windows as a host OS [18:25] are you aware of an application taht i can broadcast my cam over the internet ? [18:25] Dr_Willis, :sorrry , itś *internet. isolated from internet [18:25] sahilsk_: if you can figure out what exactly you will ever need to install. you can install what you need.. but for example theres several apternatives to java.. so what one are you going to use? you dont want/need to install the ones you dont need. [18:25] Yancho: great photo ;-); so do you get to a command line ? (in safe mode ?) [18:26] DasEi: nope i dont [18:26] sahilsk_: theres proberly some guide out on mirroring the repositories. [18:26] Surlent: hrm....well this is definitely a bug. im a kde user, so i cant test what changing things in gconf-edtor does. lets see if someone in #ubuntu-bugs can help debug [18:26] Yancho: tried another kernel ? [18:26] maco: alright [18:26] et [18:26] DasEi: i tried all the 4 available [18:26] sahilsk_: ubuntu dosent really demand internet. :) it just makes it so much easier. :) [18:27] bbl. gotta run [18:27] seb: i know, but just learning Ubuntu.... [18:27] Yancho: still no luck ? did you change anything in bios ? [18:27] Yancho: ore any changes in your disk-setup ? [18:27] Navop: well Ubuntu basics aren't that difficult to learn, check out the Ubuntu Pocket Guide by the way [18:28] DasEi: nothing .. it was working super fine .. power failure .. NUT didnt shutdown and here i am screwed up [18:28] Dr_Willis, : thanks a lot. last question . how to save this chat log with colored highlightings??

I'm trying to fix a system update that went wrong. [18:30] dassouki: some time ago i was suggested this: http://hacktivision.com/index.php/2009/06/16/setting-up-an-ubuntu-webcam-server?blog=2 but not sure if it works or not .. didn ttry it [18:30] I'm familiar with grub for normal installs.. just not how wubi installs into a loop file on the ntfs drive [18:30] Strogg: better to use real partitions instead of Wubi, also there's a way to convert a Wubi install into real partitiosn [18:30] !info wubi [18:30] Package wubi does not exist in karmic [18:30] !wubi [18:30] sebsebseb: yeah.. that's what I want to do, but I need to get the wubi booting first.

I'd rather just fix wubi, get it to boot, and then copy the existing install over [18:33] sahilsk_: no you don't, it's neat, but not really all that great [18:33] Yancho: for sure chroot in the system, if your fs is in order, ..hmm uuid changed would call fsnot found .. let's look around some more [18:33] Yancho: are you in live cd now ?

[19:15] ascheel: but you dont have write password again [19:15] simplexio: thought so, but if the first command takes ages (45min+) I wasn't sure if it will prompt for the password ot not [19:15] or not* [19:15] Yancho: no further ideas for now, init is what you need back, or a reinstall (can keep exiting home) [19:15] ascheel: it might.

[20:19] just^me: what kind of script [20:19] thiebaude: I read that you can just prevew the file and copy the neccesary sections manually to the xorg.conf filebut that still didn't solve the issue when I had it, I switched to an ATI card [20:19] Vidman: try that [20:19] jeffrey_, have you researched that it works on karmic?\ [20:19] brb [20:19] KindOne: i have never done that before.

When you reinstall part of the install process is to set the system up with a generic driver so it's functional. [20:22] xorwhy: What do you mean? that wouldn't be possible seeing as ram is only temporary storage [20:22] BluesKaj, ok, let me give you a little background, you seem so interested. My Vostro 1000 Laptop used the open source radeon drivers and worked fine now in Karmic, I cannot wake up from suspend or hibernate. There is a big, big forum post on it, and one person with the exact same machine said that switching to the Jaunty video drivers fixed his problem entirely, so now that you know my whole story, could anyone tell me how to rev [20:22] ert to old drivers, I thought this would be a simpler deal than this. [20:23] Vidman: hang on, ill load my VM version of Ubuntu and try to install a intel driver [20:23] Funzo it would be possible, for things that are to not be temporary, there are disk partitions. [20:23] marti750: after it's installed then check the link I"ll have ubottu give you.. [20:23] not stored in ram [20:23] kindone, what os are you using?

[20:25] marti750: no.. reinstall it all.. it should work right after installation.. don't immediately try to install an ATI driver right after installation.. do all your updates first .. THEN look in System>Admin>Hardware drivers.. if there's one there for your card activate it.. if there isn't then follow the link ubottu gave you.

[20:58] anyone know how I can use mIRC on Linux?

[21:01] kurt__, ftp is insecure I will rather use ssh which I use, itś safer and easy to setup, I cant help you with the ftp setup but I can help you figure out why you cant connect from the outside, can you connect to your ftp server locally? [21:01] Hello, I just upgraded to 9.10 with do-release-upgrade and now it just hangs with the message "Exception during pm.DoInstall(): E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" [21:02] the error code was returned because there were errors configuring jockey and jockey-gtk [21:02] smokie: I make a list and reinstall everything, yeah [21:02] does anyone have an idea what i should do now?

[21:08] Does anyone know of a terminal application that has the option to lock the number of rows/columns and scale to font when the window is resized? [21:08] paschu: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Windows+Seven+Plastic+Theme?content=101307 you can install a theme similar to this one and make ubuntu look the way you want [21:08] borbosha_laptop: you mean you can't grab the link fast enough because of the scrolling? [21:08] !theme > paschu [21:08] paschu, please see my private message [21:08] it seems that i'm stupid ... i'd like to install UNR on my laptop, i've created my usb key, it works like a charm but once booted, i can't find the install script ... [21:09] does somebody knows the same of this script so I can start it from cli ? [21:09] Scunizi, No, when I right click it brings up the normal menu that is at the top of xchat with file, view... etc. [21:09] paschu: google, 30 sec. http://my.opera.com/ubuntunerd1/blog/how-to-make-ubuntu-look-like-windows7 [21:09] And there is no text wrapping from people, only topics. [21:09] thanks <3 [21:09] borbosha_laptop: sorry I don't have an answer for that one :( [21:10] Scuzini: Found out the problem , But System > Admin > Hardware Drivers should i use KDE? [21:10] #xbuntu [21:10] Scunizi, No worries, it didn't happen until I installed 9.10. It's a clean install too and I install xchat from the repositories. [21:10] Very odd problem. [21:11] borbosha_laptop: switch to irssi w/screen .. you won't be disappointed :) [21:11] question.. the system > prefs > remote desktop.. is that RDP or a preliminary setup for VNC? [21:11] nobody knows for my problem ? :( [21:12] eh I'm still waiting on mine, and I have a dead line to meet lol [21:12] how can i check what video drivers are installed? [21:12] on my wubi install all menus are garbled, i can right click desktop and run terminal. [21:13] Scunizi, I have looked into that option but I like xchat because it is cross platform with Windows, which I have to use sometimes. [21:13] It's nice to have the same program on everything. [21:13] coreyman: sudo lshw -C video [21:13] borbosha_laptop: there is a version of irssi for windows too.. kinda cumbersome.. [21:13] thx chogydan brb going to check [21:14] Scunizi, irssi is the terminal based IRC client right? [21:14] borbosha_laptop: yep.. suprised me too when I found out.

I was able to get a fat32 and ext4 [21:36] Hi, how can I change the sound volume meter, to adjust "Master" and not PCI ? 9.10 [21:36] mordof: I think if you do _not_ use ext4, you should be fine using 8.10s grub [21:37] andruk: try the fix here for wacomcpl, should be the same https://help.ubuntu.com/community/X61T#Wacomcpl [21:37] ChogyDan: Do you know GParted well? because it keeps coming up as "Unknown" for me [21:37] ChogyDan: *nods*. understood.. wondering about comparing ext3 and ext4 though at this point, i didn't know it was upgraded [21:37] if i want to create 2 subdomain on the same maching, i dont need to create a new record in the dns server right? dev.example.com and qa.example.com. just in the apache2.conf create new dirctory right?

[22:45] DasEi4, http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [22:45] Arsin, when i was format my pendrive, that take a few seconds only [22:45] pepperspray: actually, the default alias involves right-clicking on a nick in the user list then selecting a ban from the dropdown menu [22:45] also, it's for attempting to recover a corrupted HD.

[22:50] chalcedony, I was wondering if I could just make a command for it... without having to paste or anything.

[22:53] ddd [22:53] Arsin, assuming you used "sudo fdisk /dev/sdd" and created a linux partition (sdd1) - then "sudo mkfs-ext3 /dev/sdd1" followed by "mount /dev/sdd1 /foo_mount_point" [22:53] This ubuntu one thing is buggy as hell [22:53] Dasei4: how would I reinstall the x server? === hotdam is now known as Dougwiser [22:54] quick question...

[22:57] port`: Forwarding deals with the router, not linux. [22:57] rvaj: maybe ubuntu-hardened? But if you are already hacked, you may need to just reinstall [22:57] R0b0t1 no i don't have router, they told me linux since as act router , i can forward port [22:57] R0b0t1: unless he's enabled ics....

[22:59] holmser: yes [22:59] Arsin, create 2 partitions: one MS, one Linux. this will probably mean linux will become /dev/sdd2 just format/mount it correctly. use "fdisk -l" to verify after you've created your partitions.

[23:02] Arsin: Did you check out the persistant install tutorial from ubuntu.com that i sent you? [23:02] DuClare: or Ctrl+Alt+F1-7 I think [23:03] after installinf emms my vlc player freezes everytime I open a pls playlist! why?? I already reinstalled it [23:04] port`: and you have no router? then what may be happening is port 80 is being blocked by your ISP.. Set Apache to listen on a different port. like 8080 or something.. then from outside your house you'd access with .. http:// [23:04] ? [23:05] my modem have public ip and connect to my private network (linux box) how can client will connect to private ip without port forwarding the private address to public so external can access it ?? [23:05] I have linux xubuntu and I have no idea how to use skype, when I call someone he cannot hear me, I can hear him [23:06] gaatse, have you confirmed your mic works first [23:06] port`: You have to forward a port..... any reason why you can't? [23:06] and when he calls we cannot hear each other. How do I confirm the mike? [23:06] Maarten actually i'm asking how to forward port ? [23:07] hi to all .. [23:07] i have a question .. how to bind two files in linux [23:07] gaatse: Test the mic offline with a recording app. [23:07] gaatse, Applications/Sound and video/sound recorder is a good start [23:07] .exe files [23:07] could i find help [23:07] port`: You use the web interface of your router. [23:07] m0j4h3d: "bind" in what sense? [23:08] port`: then you have a router? [23:08] port`: Forwarding deals with the router, not linux. [23:08] that sounds like chinees to me :-) [23:08] Hello, I have my Aluminum Apple keyboard with my mouse plugged into it. When I type on the keyboard, the mouse lags, causing me to be unable to play games. This also happens when I plug it in to some other port, and ma not using the keyboard as a hub [23:08] no i don't have all i think that linux act as router [23:08] hello [23:08] is there any body here [23:08] m0j4h3d: only 1494 people, one of which, namely me, just replied to you [23:08] R0b0t1: Can you plug the mouse into its own port instead of the keyboard? [23:09] port`: dyndns.com is a service to help people connect but I think your ISP is still blocking port 80 so you'll have to change with Apache listens too. [23:09] gaatse, what im saying is do the following. In your sound preferences confirm that your "input" is the mic of your computer you want to use and that it's not muted and levels are turned to appropriate volumes [23:09] linuxguy2009: I just said that didn't work. [23:09] R0b0t1: Why? Ubuntu doesnt support the mouse on its own or what exactly? [23:09] since the update to 9.10 nautilus often does not show all items of a folder and keeps showing me the loading spinner mouse pointer. sometimes no items are shown in a folder that has a lot of items. i have seen this on 2 totally different systems now, and it's really annoying. any ideas? [23:09] okew I think I know. [23:10] linuxguy2009: No, I know the mouse and keyboard are supported and should work fine, they worked in the past version. 9.04 or something [23:10] Headset is what I can choose, but then it's mute [23:10] gaatse, also in skype there are a few volume controls you need to check [23:10] R0b0t1: Do they go out of sync on all games? [23:10] port`: It is also possible that your DSL modem or Cable modem acts as a router, and has a built in NAT translation. You would need the web interface for the client side of the modem then to configure forwarded ports. [23:10] And all the other options I don't know what they are [23:10] yes I know scott [23:11] linuxguy2009: It happens out side of games too, if I try to type and move the mouse the mouse lags and then jumps to where it's supposed to be. [23:11] gaatse, what's hard is i can't tell you where or what to look because the menus are diff if you're on xubuntu [23:11] R0b0t1: Are the keyboard or mouse wireless? [23:11] No [23:11] But In skype I can choose to do a test to record my voice but it does not play back to me. [23:11] port`: if what Maarten says is correct then the address to access the back end might be something like 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 [23:11] Yes, I know Sckott. I have xubuntu 8.10 [23:11] lol how the external network will access it with privte! [23:11] gaatse, that's why im saying to first test it in a program such as sound recorder [23:12] I have tested in sound recorder. I must open all the mikes everytime again when I start that programm. Should I start sound recorder also when I use skype? [23:12] is there a way i could play my youtube playlist as an audio in ubuntu? [23:13] port`: if your modem also acts like a router then you will have to log into the modem/router and set the port forwarding there.. but if your public ip address is dynamic and changes then you'll have to also use a free service like www.dyndns.com [23:13] gaatse, if your sound works in sound recorder but not skype then we can narrow it down to skype [23:13] anyone here know any software that makes it very simple to capture analog video via capture card? [23:13] R0b0t1: Are the lagging specific to Ubuntu only? And also all versions or just 9.10 for example? [23:13] archet45, i believe VLC can capture video [23:13] linuxguy2009: Yes, all 9.10 [23:13] unless you wanna use a media program [23:13] scott_ino2 dude can you help my mic too? my internal mic doesn't work, [23:13] hey guys, I could use some help restoring my grub after installing win7 on another partition of the same disc [23:14] find /boot/grub/stage1 fails to work [23:14] R0b0t1: So the lagging is in all OSs? [23:14] how do I change the solution of the GRUB boot menu? [23:14] resolution* [23:14] So I don't have to open the mikes in soundrecorder to speak on hyves? [23:14] What's the most realistic soundfont I can get? [23:14] gaatse, no... [23:14] linuxguy2009: Not sure, I can't install another Linux on here, but it worked fine in 9.04, 9.10 is the problem. [23:14] I mean not hyves but skype [23:14] Does GIMP lag for anyone else? :( [23:14] I am using the sunab ppa on Ubuntu karmic for getting the latest Kdenlive, and I am unable to update to 0.7.6. Any ideas? [23:14] R0b0t1: I see. [23:15] vonnick: Works fine for me. . . === william is now known as Guest22193 [23:15] mrXX, internal mic on laptop? also are you using gnome? [23:15] R0b0t1: Does the mouse have a proprietary connector or something? [23:15] Unless I go super slow the brush is way behind the cursor [23:15] linuxguy2009: ... No, it's just a USB mouse. [23:15] scott_ino2 i dont know abt gnome but i think thats it, yes it is an acer6350G [23:15] DasEi4: I could get to a login after the splash screen, but no mouse or keyboard control? what next? [23:15] mrXX, if using gnome go to: system/preferences/sound [23:15] R0b0t1: Ok so you have tried them on seperate ports and they dont work? [23:15] What's the most realistic SoundFont I can install? [23:15] the click input tab [23:16] linuxguy2009: Yes [23:16] scott_ino2 yes, then [23:16] Hello all :) [23:16] R0b0t1: Can you be more specific? Yes, they dont work that way you mean? [23:16] mrXX, does it show your microphone [23:16] linuxguy2009: They don't work in any configuration what-so-ever [23:16] scott_ino2 it shows mic, but the input level is none [23:16] linuxguy2009: mouse always gets lagged [23:17] Heee it worked scott. I needed to open my microphones on SoundRecorder to speak on skype. === laclasse__ is now known as laclasse [23:17] R0b0t1: Hmm. Well if its limited to 9.10 then you might consider filing a bug report. [23:17] mrXX, it only shows up when you speak into it just fyi, Where it says connector is there more than one input [23:17] gaatse, you shouldn't have to [23:17] gaatse, that means when you open sound recorder it's "turning on" or adjusting your sound preferences, you shouldn't have to have it open to use it [23:18] Guest22193: hehe, nicks .. get an unique one , back to safemode .. === fetusbub1le is now known as fetusbubble [23:18] how can i re enable the SSL protocol in Seamonkey [23:18] mrXX, is there more than one input? [23:18] R0b0t1: What model is the keyboard and mouse? [23:18] scott_ino2 it says I have one device - Internal Audio Analog Stereo, and the input level never increases [23:19] I just spoke in a testrecording on skype and I could hear mysef on skype for the first time. Strange, because I seem not to be able to work it out on skype alone, without turning on the microphones on Soundrecorder. [23:19] linuxguy2009: No idea, just an aluminum apple one and generic laser mouse from microsoft [23:19] oh the irony [23:19] is there a quick and easy way to do something like cat * but add a newline in between each file? [23:19] Is there a way that I can install multiple SoundFonts and then select which one is active? [23:19] R0b0t1:Ok [23:20] hey all. i am trying to install tor on firefox, but i get a problem with a dependency that i can't fix... anybody willing to help? [23:20] Any one know where I can find a ubuntu package for enlightenment? [23:20] R0b0t1: Do you have any other mice laying around?

See also !screen [23:20] eclipse software is not worling for java programming [23:20] linuxguy2009: I tried, it still does it with them as well [23:20] It is also so : When I use Soundrecorder WITHOUT skype, and afterwards I shut it down again, everytime when I open it, the microphones are closed again and need to open it again. [23:21] scott_ino2 yes dude, if i mute and unmute it then i get an instantenous input level increase but thats it [23:21] m55: add the newline to the files prior to the cat itself « echo -ne '\n' >> * && cat * » [23:21] no ha habido suerte en lo de los USB del virtualbox [23:21] no me los detecta [23:21] R0b0t1: Ok so what exactly do they do?

I can never remember which channels are official and which aren't.. anyways.. #java is redirected to ##java it seems.. but thanks =) [23:28] !java | abhishek [23:28] abhishek: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [23:28] i installed eclipse but its not working properly [23:28] abhishek: you need to intall java runtime enviroment [23:28] abhishek: install sun-java6-jdk [23:29] abhishek: follow what's erUSUL suggests [23:29] abhishek: "not working properly"... you might want to mention error messages, describe what isn't working and so on [23:29] Scott are you still there? [23:29] gaatse, yes [23:29] I've just set my mouse cursor and the DMZ-White theme, but in my Qt based programs there still using my old cursor theme. How can I fix this? [23:29] When I start an app from the gnome application launcher, where does the app's stderr go? the app fails to launch from the icon but works fine in the terminal, I want to try to find the problem... [23:29] windows 7 and ubuntu ....that's the perfect OS [23:29] gaatse, let me check mine [23:30] airforce: what about mac os x [23:30] Flare183: sounds like you need to tweak qt's theme [23:30] Oke Scott [23:30] chowder: How? [23:30] Never tried it [23:30] but windows and ubuntu go well [23:30] Flare183: I have no idea. I don't use KDE. Try searching for it. [23:30] Does an application have to be "thread aware" in order for it's multiple threads to be evenly distributed across multiple cores on a linux box? How can I tell through "ps aux" or perhaps lsof or another utility that the application I am running on ubuntu-server is being distributed across multiple cores as opposed to just being run on core0 in a quad-core system? [23:31] start, i have installed it correctly from software centre but there is no option for running the program ...when i checked deeply, the software is only a plateform and i need to install some additional packages for it...but i could find these packages no where [23:31] gaatse, im using pulse audio for all of my settings on that page [23:31] extor: if an application has multiple threads I think it will be spread out.. according to the scheduler and whatnot.. I'm not sure what the difference is between "has multiple threads" and "thread aware" [23:32] Flare183: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=32567 all it took was searching "qt change theme" in google. Remember that not all of us here have the answers. Google is your friend. [23:32] chowder: Ahh ok. I didn't know how to word it so yeah. But thanks [23:32] np [23:32] pulse audio? I will watch I don't think Pulse Audio is in my list on Sounddefices [23:32] anybody? any ideas where stderr goes to when I use gnome application launcher? running the app from terminal works fine... [23:32] Slart, I just want to be assured that I am making full use of my quad-core rather than using just 1/4th of it's processing power when I am running vbox virtual machines [23:33] gaatse, this is in skype im talking about [23:33] gaatse, i thought you said you got it working [23:33] rweeks1138, probably goes to dmesg [23:33] gaatse, but just not in skype [23:33] extor: oh.. I'm not sure how virtualbox handles it.. why not try it? start two vm's.. run something in both and have a look at the system monitor at the different cores [23:33] I know Scott, but in my Skype there is 'sounddefices' [23:34] Slart, which system monitor are you referring to? [23:34] My windoz machine failed and I have loaded Ubuntu which works great! I have two apps I need written for windoz running very well under Wine, but there is one app I would like to find a duplicate for in Linux. The app runs as a add on to MS Office so it is out of the question on Linux. I am a college instructor and take my power point presentations, record my voice while showing the slides... [23:34] ...and then convert the whole thing to Flash for my students to view and listen to. I would like to be able to duplicate this process. Does anyone know of an app that accomplishes this with OO presenter?? If anyone wants to see what the final product looked like before answering go to http://www.rosspach.com/rrossman/AudioFiles.htm [23:34] keyboard and mouse are freezing at login after boot. what do I do? [23:34] rodgerr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:34] extor: system, administration, system monitor [23:34] Yes Scott I got it working, but you said that I should be able to do it without my Soundrecorder. [23:34] extor: if you're running gnome, that is [23:34] rweeks1138: if the app worked in terminal and not in the launcher then that may mean that the launcher needs tweaking [23:34] I installed songbird on Karmic a couple weeks ago when Marmic came out, and it was working fine, now suddenly my media library won't load... any suggestions [23:35] gaatse, how did you install skype? [23:35] Redeemed: run it in a terminal.. see what kind of error message you get [23:35] Redeemed: Clear out your library and re-add all your music. [23:35] gaatse, perhaps we can uninstall and then reinstall using the mediabuntu repo which has a few sound fixes? [23:35] <_-_> hi! anybody can say me one channel where the people talking spanish? [23:35] chowder: Doesn't help me at all [23:35] !es | _-_ [23:35] _-_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [23:35] !es | _-_ [23:36] <_-_> thx ;) [23:36] Flare183: did you try the programs mentioned in the thread? [23:36] chowder: It doesn't let me change the mouse theme. [23:36] I installed Skype by going to synaptic package ... something [23:36] hello [23:36] chowder: If I install kcontrol it would install A LOAD of KDE apps that I don't need [23:36] Slart: http://fpaste.org/wxM7/ [23:37] gaatse, yes but skype shouldn't be in there in the default repositories [23:37] unless they changed that [23:37] I can give you my msn Scott, because herte it is very hard to follow. is that oke? [23:37] gaatse, pm me [23:37] just go to skype and download and install [23:37] Linuxguy2009: I can't.. I don't even get the artist menues just blank black [23:37] I can put skype out of default, there is also: hda intell === brandon_ is now known as Norrin [23:37] I have a server app that runs as user hudson and the login assigned is /bin/false, is the any way to set the max files limit on a user which shell is nologin? [23:37] Flare183: well usually X11 is the one that controls the mouse theme. Try making a post on the forums [23:37] What is pm? [23:38] Redeemed: What is the status of songbird is it a finished work, beta etc? [23:38] gaatse: pm = private message [23:38] oke [23:38] I think I amn doing that now. [23:38] I clicked on your name [23:39] right click open dialog window [23:39] Did not go pm, how do I do that? [23:39] Redeemed: that doesn't look fatal to me.. unless it really really needs those plugins.. you're sure there isn't an old songbird process lurking in the background somewhere? try "pkill -9 songbird" or something like that to kill it [23:39] nube [23:39] feniix: can you set a quota? [23:39] and then? [23:39] Slart supposing I am not running gnome and this is a remote ubuntu-server? [23:40] gaatse: if you're using Xchat you right-click on someone's name choose the "Open Dialog Window" option [23:40] Billiard: I am setting the kernel limit to max open files, a quota would not help [23:40] thank you chowder, but then I get all kinds of possibilities [23:40] hey guys. problems with a dependency that i cannot solve... i think it's a quite stupid issue, but i really can't get around it. anybody that can spend to minutes in helping? [23:40] linuxguy2009: it is finshed and still supported I beleive [23:40] extor: ah.. then the system monitor won't be there.. try running htop, it will display the cpu load for the different kernels [23:40] hi [23:41] Redeemed: Did you check for broken packages etc? [23:41] extor: you can probably make top display the same thing.. but I'm to lazy to search the man page for the correct switces =) [23:41] any reason plain old top won't work slart? [23:41] how do I determine the blick size of my ext3 filesystem? [23:41] ahh [23:41] block* [23:41] feniix: max files open or max files on the filesystem? [23:41] does anyone know how to hide your computer name in XCHAT??????? [23:41] Slart, I think pressing '1' will expand the CPUs to the total number of cores [23:41] linuxguy2009: yup [23:41] df -h [23:41] abhishek: well.. I tried installing eclipse and it seems to work fine for me [23:41] thank you, sir [23:41] feniix: /etc/securetty/limits.conf ? [23:42] Slart: no dice still won't load the interface for the library [23:42] extor: ahh.. nice.. didn't know that one =) === yofel_ is now known as yofel [23:42] Redeemed: open system monitor and make sure all instances are closed. (Im downloading songbird now to test it, Ive never tried it before. [23:42] Billiard: the max files open aka the output of 'ulimit -n' [23:42] slart: is it working fine...are u able to run programs [23:42] feniix: ok, you didnt specify that ar first, idk then [23:43] Redeemed: well.. then I'm not really sure what to try.. I used to run songbird before (I use quod libet now) and I can't remember having these problems === _vampire is now known as Ranakah [23:43] erUSUL: limits.conf apparently is bound to pam, and /bin/false is not a login shell, so pam does not affect it [23:43] Redeemed: Also might want to look in /home/useraccount/.songbird folder and delete the folder to set back to factory defaults and lose all custom settings. [23:43] feniix: :| [23:43] Billiard: sorry, I thought I did :( [23:43] Redeemed:Might fix it. [23:44] how to i cd in a unknown folder , for example /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/98ydaao.default [23:44] I also tried adding ulimit -n $MAXFILES in the start up script but it just does not work [23:44] elfranne: you can not [23:44] feniix: what erUSUL said might be what you want [23:44] elfranne: you have to know the name of a folder to cd to it. [23:44] abhishek: I don't have any java code to try.. but the editor starts [23:45] Billiard: I thought there must be a way, other than make the shell for the user /bin/bash [23:45] elfranne: just type cd ~/. and then the first character of the hidden directory. Use tab to autocomplete the path [23:45] Billiard: limits.conf does not apply to /bin/false [23:45] is there no way to cd to a folder like *.default [23:45] slart: yeah its start but when u write a java code there are no options for running it...and it also does not show syntax error.. [23:45] Billiard: only to shell logins apparently from my tests, and I tried everything I know [23:46] linuxguy2009: there doesn't seem to be a .songbird folder.. i might have to do a reinstall and see what happens [23:46] feniix: alright ive got no idea [23:46] Redeemed: You did hit Ctrl+H to show hidden folders right? [23:46] Billiard: thanks anyway :) [23:46] abhishek: I'm guessing that might be a question for a more eclipse oriented channel [23:47] Redeemed: Might also be in .conf or a few other places. [23:47] slart ...is there any such channel [23:48] I didn't bother with ctrl+h, i just navigated with bash [23:48] elfranne: did you not read what I just typed? [23:49] abhishek: well.. let me just throw that question right back at you.. if you google for "eclipse irc channel" do you get any hits? [23:49] Redeemed: Bash doesnt show hidden folders by default. [23:49] elfranne: just type cd ~/. and then the first character of the hidden directory. Use tab to autocomplete the path. By default BASH won't autocomplete hidden directories. If its a directory you go to often you may want to consider adding an alias in your ~/.bashrc [23:49] Hi all, I am trying to connect to a VPN, and I did but I can not access any resource there. The ping even does not work... however it shows that it is my computer is connected. === baron is now known as diplomatic [23:50] Any idea please !! [23:50] linuxguy2009: no, but if you type the folder exactly, it will nav there anyway :P [23:51] Redeemed: Did you check in .conf? [23:51] huihu [23:51] elfranne: you can cd to *.default [23:51] Redeemed: Might also be in different caps etc. Might try nautilus since you dont know the exact folder name. [23:52] Redeemed: Its in your home folder somewhere, it saves personal customizations there. [23:52] mhmm, it wasn't there, I just uninstalled the package and am reinstalling it now to try to fix it [23:52] I am trying to connect to a VPN, and I did but I can not access any resource there. The ping even does not work... however it shows that it is my computer is connected. === trucMuche is now known as Guest27682 [23:53] Redeemed: Did you remember to purge configuration files? [23:53] glass.webchat.org [23:53] what was the terminal command for viewing the screens id, like 0.1? === Maverick_ is now known as Helsinkiii [23:53] linuxguy2009: crap lol [23:54] Does anyone in here use Pidgin? [23:55] Hallo hier ihrgendwer aus deutschland ? [23:55] night1ne, yes [23:55] !de [23:55] night1ne: I do, what's your question? [23:55] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [23:55] I want to make it so that upon closing out Pidgin the logs are erased. [23:56] Do you know if that's possible? [23:56] night1ne: can't you just make pidgin not keep any logs at all? [23:56] I can, but sometimes I refer to them while I'm actually using it. I was just curious if there's a way. [23:57] I am trying to connect to a VPN, and I did but I can not access any resource there. The ping even does not work... however it shows that it is my computer is connected. [23:57] rodgerr: hi [23:58] night1ne: I am unaware of an "erase logs upon exit" option but it does sound nifty. What you could do is find the directory where pidgin stores its logs and write a simple BASH script to delete them upon exit. [23:58] sebsebseb: hello [23:58] night1ne, if you untick everything under preferences/logging, then the logs are just kept until you quit pidgin. === brandon_ is now known as Norrin [23:58] night1ne: PM me. I think I have a solution to your issue. [23:58] I already know where the logs are kept; the BASH script is beyond me. [23:58] rodgerr: ok I am going to try and reply to you [23:58] rodgerr: from a while ago [23:58] Really ring1 [23:58] Okay. [23:59] rodgerr: I was going through some stuff that was put here before and saw it [23:59] rodgerr: Flash hmm [23:59] huh [23:59] sebsebseb: thanks want to PM to keep it off the grid [23:59] rodgerr: why? === ben is now known as Guest81063
