However according to one of the guys you can make with Open Office Impress, add your voice, and then convert it to Flash. I was also given this articlehttp://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/81113-openoffice-impress-features by another one [00:05] tado: did you set the proxy settings in firefox preferences?

[01:52] jonaskoelker: its a pretty common app too [01:52] how can one see what file permissions are assigned to a directory? [01:52] zetheroo1: which one is it? [01:52] jonaskoelker: sound-juicer [01:52] jonaskoelker: you're using a mixed system. Does the error occur if you bring your system up to date? [01:52] seidos: ls -lart [01:53] jrib: I'm not going to run that experiment [01:53] fcuk112: thank you [01:53] jonaskoelker: then yes, you have to rummage [01:53] does one need to use sudo anytime they use chmod? [01:53] zetheroo1: have you tried up- or downgrading sound-juicer to a different version? [01:53] jonaskoelker: I did a complete removal and reinstall ... [01:53] seidos: only if you chmod files, that dont belong to you [01:53] zetheroo1: that's what I'd do, but I guess that's frowned upon by ubuntu... === PL|Relaxing is now known as PhantomLink [01:54] seidos: more exact files on which you dont have write permission [01:54] jrib: how do I install the XKit package ("package" in python's parlance) to /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/XKit/[etc.]? [01:54] jrib: ... the proper ubuntu-sanctioned way? [01:55] jonaskoelker: I am going to do a purge in the Terminal ... [01:55] How can I make Ubuntu's spell checker use U.S. English instead of British? [01:55] jonaskoelker: sigh... the proper way is to not run a mixed system. Can you pastebin /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-xkit*? [01:55] Ubuntu's British English spell checking is severely annoying.. [01:55] could someone help me please? i am using vmware player with a small debian linux distro. i have xfce installed, but when i startx my mouse isn't working. i've tried google, but can't find a way to get my mouse working [01:55] jonaskoelker: purged and reinstalled ... still get Segmentation Fault [01:56] zetheroo1: tried installing a different version? [01:56] hi [01:56] Are you all British or something? [01:56] I know have more swap space than ram. yet when I resume after suspend mode, my monitor remains black! please please someone help! thanks [01:56] Hi, I am using 9.10. On the log on screen I noticed a choice of booting to xwindows, as well as gnome. Is there a way to install KDE, so that it will also be an option, without removing gnome? [01:56] datz: yes [01:56] I'm having trouble activating my eth0 connection [01:56] Nobody knows how to make ubuntu's spell checker use U.S. English? [01:56] jonaskoelker: where do i get a different version from? [01:56] i did it the other day and it was so simple [01:57] im using kde [01:57] datz: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [01:57] I am having issues getting my ubuntu computer onto the internet. the computer sees the USB to ethernet adapter, I run ifconfig eth0 up and dhclient eth0 as root, and they run successfully. I can not ping google.com or connect to the internet at all. This connection has been tested on other devices and works. [01:57] sebsebseb: cool, any tutorials [01:57] datz: no need just run that command [01:57] jrib: see pastebin links in pm [01:57] sebsebseb: ok, thanks. I will try it [01:57] solifugus: change language settings I guess [01:57] could someone help me please? i am using vmware player with a small debian linux distro. i have xfce installed, but when i startx my mouse isn't working. i've tried google, but can't find a way to get my mouse working [01:57] zetheroo1: which release are you running? jaunty? karmic? [01:57] jonaskoelker: the reason I ask you not to pm is so others can also help you [01:57] datz: apt-get and aptitude are similar, but aptitude is meant to be better at dealing with dependencies so for big stuff it make sense [01:57] jrib: fair enough [01:57] jonaskoelker: Karmic [01:57] datz: most of the time I would do apt-get [01:58] http://pastebin.com/f39cad1b2 http://pastebin.com/f3ef4be39 http://pastebin.com/f8f12fd1 http://pastebin.com/f34f95250 http://pastebin.com/f590fd88 [01:58] sebsebseb: could you maybe help me? [01:58] jonaskoelker: I also need to know the names of these files :) [01:58] I don't recall changing anything, but suddenly Gnome Do (which I use in Docky theme to manage my windows) has been acting strange and nearly unusable. Ordinarily clicking on an icon for a minimized window would open it up, but now the icon bounces and does nothing. Any idea why? [01:58] /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-xkit.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-xkit.md5sums /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-xkit.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-xkit.preinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-xkit.prerm [01:59] I know have more swap space than ram. yet when I resume after suspend mode, my monitor remains black! please please someone help! thanks [01:59] sysRPL: not exactly, but well VMware player hmm, I recommend Virtualbox since it's better than VMware player, it is also useually what is recommended by people in here [01:59] (Incidentally, this began happening on two difference machines, both using Gnome Do in the same way, both using Jaunty.) [01:59] sysRPL: when it comes to virtualization [01:59] jonaskoelker: try reinstalling the package or just rerun the .postinst [01:59] sysRPL: it can also use VMDK files without needing a vmx file [02:00] zetheroo1: as root, edit /etc/apt/sources.list. Copy everything, then paste a copy of that at the bottom of the file. replace all instances of "karmic" with "jaunty" in what you just pasted. Then apt-get update [02:00] zetheroo1: then ... [hold on] [02:00] sysRPL: If you want USB support get it from the website, if you don't then you can get the open source version from the Ubuntu repo [02:00] jrib: will try [02:00] jonaskoelker: uhm ... I dunno about that [02:00] One more question: why do I get asked to authenticate when I try to mount a HD? How can I turn this off [02:00] :) [02:00] sysRPL: there's #vmware for VMware product help and #vbox for Virtualbox by the way [02:00] can someone please help me with my sound issue? [02:01] jonaskoelker: I don't know if i want to revert my sources list to jaunty [02:01] please? :( [02:01] jrib: INFO: using unknown version '/usr/bin/python3.0' (debian_defaults not up-to-date?) [02:01] i would really like suspend mode to work [02:01] jrib: happens during install --reinstall. I think that's interesting :) [02:01] jonaskoelker: I can guess why :) [02:01] when you first install ubuntu does it assign the root pwd....because i don't have it [02:02] jrib: so, how do I check whether "debian_defaults not up-to-date?", and what do I do about it? [02:02] Typh: it seems to be a feature of 9.10 [02:02] coastal: you're supposed to use sudo [02:02] zetheroo1: fair enough... [02:02] jonaskoelker: don't run a mixed system and bring your system up to date... [02:02] Typh: not sure about turning off, I think there may be something about that feature in the release notes [02:03] !notes | Typh [02:03] Typh: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [02:03] Is it possible to only install security updates, and save the hundreds of megabytes getting the latest gedit when the last one worked fine? [02:03] mac9416: the default repos are only security updates! [02:03] hi i want to change the motd but every time i make a ssh connection it gets reset to the default what can i do?? [02:03] Readin'. I'd be interesting to see some logic behind it, as I fail to see why having to authenticate to access internal drives makes any sense. [02:03] sebsebseb, let's just say I've modified them a bit. ;-) So, just disable all non-security repos? [02:04] nullrenf, sudo: root: command not found [02:04] mac9416: Yeah I guess so disable all, but the default, but how have you edited them? [02:04] coastal: root is not a command, what do you intend to do? [02:04] hehe [02:04] jonaskoelker: ok I got RipOff working :) ... thanks for trying though [02:04] sebsebseb, just enabled a lot of third-party repos and so on. [02:04] i don't have my password [02:05] zetheroo1: yw [02:05] root [02:05] coastal: you cant login as root, because the account is disabled by default [02:05] mac9416: third party repos such as? be careful with that, they can contain malicious software or well slightly malicious software, bad debs yeah [02:05] You don't have your own password? [02:06] coastal: if you want a root login you have to do a sudo passwd root and enter a password [02:06] sebsebseb, don't worry, things like VirtualBox and Medibuntu. And a few PPAs. Nothing unusual. [02:06] hello friends, im trying to install mesa3d for karmic and i need some help... [02:06] mac9416: ok [02:06] i'm concerned about security [02:07] while ubuntu is booting it shows the splash screen then goes to a blinking underscorce and it never boots. [02:07] zetheroo1: and congrats on getting something working, btw! :) [02:07] has anyone here gotten mesa3d running on ubuntu? [02:08] joshua6: I'm just going from memory on the same problem, but does it work when you choose safe vga mode? [02:08] how to disable empathy chat logs? [02:08] jonaskoelker: thanks .. sound-juicer has always worked flawlessly in the past .. but it had previously corrupted dpkg and seemed to have never fully recovered ... [02:09] would it be more reliable installing ubunto netbook remix on a laptop rather than the usual OS they mail you a disc for? [02:09] Typh: how would I go about choosing that? not even the recovery mode boots [02:09] I thought it was an option on boot. Like I said, going from memory so I might just confuse you more. [02:10] Ok so I burned the Ubuntu iso [02:10] i couldn't scp a file to a folder on a remote system, so i tried chmod 777 to give full access to the folder, but that wasn't necessary, since the folder was in the home directory on the remote system, so i deleted the folder and recreated it and it worked. is this normal behavior? [02:10] I put it on a dvd [02:10] i put it in my blu-ray player [02:10] and it didnt play [02:10] Dougdoug4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:43] xjustb11, what exactly is this 'pin cushion option' and how can I find it? [02:43] chetnick: according to whose taste? [02:43] jonaskoelker: majority? [02:43] emacs [02:43] ;-) [02:43] jonaskoelker: and my /proc folder is empty. is that a problem? [02:44] joshua6: that doesn't sound right...

[02:44] jonaskoelker: yeah. but good news it just booted up into my normal ubuntu for some weird reason. what is suppose to be in the /proc [02:44] no like physically cd [02:44] like a real cd rom [02:45] joshua6: a lot of virtual files which reflect bits and pieces of the kernel state [02:45] would anyone have a tip for a noob that can't get mp3's to play via amarok on karmic koala?

I was hoping to be able to do the upgrade without doing another 6-hour eat-all-my-bandwidth download, but the upgrade instructions mention the "alternate" CD. Is my cause hopeless? [02:45] help please [02:45] jonaskoelker like a real cd rom?? [02:45] fcuk112: thanks, i was looking for something like that. [02:46] archet45: is your sound working? [02:46] rance94: if you're asking me, the answer is either I don't know or I don't understand what you're asking me about [02:46] Jamed, nvm, i uninstalled "ubuntu restricted extras" and installed "kbuntu restricted extras" and it now works [02:46] jonaskoelker: well is there a way to fi that now that I booted normally? and hopefully prevent this problem [02:46] rance94: you have a piece of plastic with windows 7 on it? [02:47] jonaskoelker no i do not [02:47] joshua6: probably---something like 'mount -t proc /proc' or something, I'm not sure [02:47] can anyone help please, is there a way to make my keyboard buttons typing with sound? [02:47] rance94: fair enough; what do you have then? [02:47] im looking for something that will work like the Vista Volume control. (allow me to set the volume for individual applications) [02:47] can I use a normal "Live CD" to upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic somehow? I cannot find instructions beyond "put in the alternate CD and click the upgrade button" which doesn't work (no such option) [02:48] fritzophrenic: you can upgrade over the net [02:48] hi room: I am debugging my suspend/resume issue (bug 417599), and I think the problem is with the video quirks in acpi. I'm trying to edit my hal files so the quirks are disabled, but I don't speak hal, can someone help me? [02:48] jonaskoelker: there is stuff in there now, without doing the command. so is the image thingy I'm on stable? I think its 14-31 [02:48] fritzophrenic: will that work for you? [02:48] jonaskoelker i dont have anything i only have virtual box ose i didnt know u had to have the cd srry === pretto_ is now known as Pretto [02:48] I suppose it will have to, if that's the only option. But the download takes 6 hours and I don't want to do that again seeing as how I already have a perfectly good install CD :-( [02:48] rance94: well, we (ubuntu) can't really distribute microsoft's software...

[02:50] are you sure its not already mounted? [02:50] fritzophrenic: ah, you have the karmic cd? [02:50] rj1, No, nothing? [02:50] yes [02:50] fritzophrenic: then there is some way to say "look for packages on the CD rather than the net", but I can't recall them off the top o' my head [02:50] jonaskoelker see if theres a distributor near you [02:51] ooh [02:51] wait [02:51] rj1: huh? [02:51] I know [02:51] fritzophrenic: [02:51] fritzophrenic: put in the cd [02:51] and add it as a package source [02:51] when you put in the cd [02:51] it should allow you to add it === Ajr|afk is now known as Ajr [02:52] hi all how do i get the scroll wheel to rotate my desktop again in 9.10 [02:52] install compiz manager [02:52] rj1, sorry not rotate but just change desktops [02:53] install compiz manager === freevryheid is now known as fvs [02:53] rj1, ok thanks ill check it out [02:53] !compiz | cwraig [02:53] cwraig: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [02:53] i need help with a installation that i am working on [02:53] jonaskoelker dang i dont have a windows cd [02:53] i am trying to install webcontentcontrol [02:53] rj1, if I right click it I get options to open with gedit, open with other... safely remove etc...

[02:55] rance94: you can download different versions of linux from www.linuxtracker.org [02:55] rance94: some kind of installation media; iso is probably easiest [02:55] rance94: or you can use floppies :-> [02:55] rj1, in 9.10 it does it by deault, if you right click on the sound volume thing and hit preferences and the the applications tab [02:55] when i use wubi-installer i get this error - OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:\\ubuntu\\install\\ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso' [02:55] not on 9.10 ;) [02:55] Im on 8.10 [02:55] what does it mean?

[02:59] archet45 they do work just press the relevant keys [03:00] rance94: if you're asking that, you need an assembly book to get started [03:00] without resetting the keyring globally, just for this app [03:00] seidos: i thinks its for ext3's journaling [03:00] Jamed: thank you [03:00] seidos: np :) [03:00] yeah lol i want to start asm but not sure where or how [03:01] enovativ check your dependencies [03:01] rance94...dont do asm [03:01] just dont [03:01] hi [03:01] rj1: where do i check my dependencies [03:01] rj1, this may help you http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/04/10/adjust-volume-of-individual-applications-with-pulseaudio/ [03:01] seidos: actually, it's for files which get orphaned due to corruptions in the filesystem. When fsck fixes the filesystem, files which don't seem to belong anywhere get put in lost+found as a last resort... === SodaPhis- is now known as SodaPhish [03:02] ya but....pulse audio is supposed to be much worse than alsa enovativ check the readme [03:02] rj1 k well im using python mostly now and im stuck i want to make something like a bot but i am lost [03:02] rj1: thanks [03:02] rj1, im on 9.10 and the pulse audio packages were installed by default [03:02] rance94: You need a compiler to write in assembly [03:02] doorman352 where could i get one [03:02] rance94...no do NOT go to assembly. Go to C see if you like that [03:02] seidos, lost+found is where Linux places information that was lost due to some file system error. Think of it as CHK files from Window's CHKDSK utility. [03:02] rj1, i can't get the media keys to work with any media application [03:02] Doorman352, actually, no, you need a compiler to make your assembler run [03:02] ugh, I tried unchecking every option regarding the internet in the upgrade manager, and disconnecting from the internet, with the CD ROM listed as a source and checked, and the CD in the drive, but it STILL tries accessing the internet for the upgrade [03:03] rj1, specifically amarok and vlc === asn is now known as Guest97805 [03:03] rance94 assembly is WAYYY more hardcore [03:03] losha: oh... thanks for the info [03:03] rance94, there are several in Linux -- look at as [03:03] it should be available if you do `apt-get install as` [03:03] SodaPhish: Correct. [03:03] ahhh there arent any compilers for linux o and i know c++ [03:03] I'm new to linux and having a really basic problem - trying to run 9.10 and it only runs for about one minute and then freezes completely. thought it might be a hardware problem (it happens when I run ubuntu from a live disc) but windows runs fine [03:03] yes there are [03:03] gcc [03:03] or g++ [03:03] rance94: what processor you going to write for? [03:03] err, not in as, gcc [03:03] does naybody know of a public secure dns server i can connect to? does opendns offer secure dns? [03:03] hamsterdam what exactly happens [03:03] the CD drive spins a lot like it's trying to do something but then it stops spinning and a download progress bar shows up with a transfer rate and download time [03:03] un asesor para java en cuestion de multimedia [03:04] processor?? lol i have a dell laptop running ubuntu [03:04] archet45: try editing the hotkeys in their configuration files [03:04] the screen just freezes [03:04] rance94....just stick to C++ [03:04] rance94, so, your compile target is i686 probably [03:04] ;-) [03:04] Assembler is processor specific [03:04] Hamsterdam check the disk for errors from the livecd menu [03:04] rj1, yes, but generally if you're coding on a dell laptop, you can learn i386 asm and go from there [03:04] hey how do i get to the compiler from my desktop [03:04] your processor specific bits are extensions [03:04] rance94: assembly is based on a specific processors registers and commands, go for i higher level language like C [03:05] rance94, you open a shell, and you can run gcc from there. [03:05] rance94: open a terminal, run gcc [03:05] can ubuntu read exFAT (FAT64)? [03:05] ahhh [03:05] rj1, thanks, but where do I look? like I said, I'm really new :( [03:05] If anyone has any experience hackintosh please pm me..Thanks [03:05] git__, probably [03:05] what filesystem does external USB 1TB use? [03:05] sumeetbali, I do... [03:05] git__, probably fat32/vfat [03:06] git__: probably fat [03:06] git__: maybe ntfs [03:06] !illegal > sumeetbali [03:06] can anyone help please, is there a way to make my keyboard buttons typing with sound? [03:06] sumeetbali, please see my private message [03:06] well how do i run it srry im new to ubuntu im not trying to sound stupid [03:06] SodaPhish, you do omg thanks can i pm you [03:06] rance94: I agree with Doorman352. Almost nobody writes in assembler any more, it's too low level. Are you sure your time wouldn't be better spent doing something else? [03:06] git__: there are programs which can find out for you [03:06] hamsterdam when you put the cd in it will give you a menu [03:06] sumeetbali, sure. [03:06] thats where you select install [03:06] right [03:06] instead of install there should be an option [03:06] losha, totally not true. there are a TON of ppl who write in assembler. [03:06] to check cd [03:06] losha yeah lol im using python and c++ now [03:07] rance94: run which? The C compiler? [03:07] rance94: or c++? [03:07] anyone i have both but dont know how to get to them [03:07] is there an easy way to change the hal settings without rebooting the machine? I want to disable the power_management.quirks, but I can't figure out how. [03:07] Hamsterdam its the menu BEFORE the desktop loads [03:07] ok, checking the disk now [03:07] i can't store a 20GB virtual image in a vfat partition [03:07] bummer [03:08] rance94: Here's your compiler...... http://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/assemblers.shtml [03:08] rance94 look for make tutorials [03:08] for C++ [03:08] jonaskoelker i have both i doesnt matter how do i get to it?? [03:08] make and gcc tutorials [03:08] i have the compilers [03:08] i just dont know how to get to them [03:08] rance94: gcc foo.c [03:08] ........assembly doesnt HAVE compilers [03:08] rj1: any idea dude, if there is a way to when i am typing on keyboard but with sound? [03:08] rance94: or g++ foo.cpp [03:08] Assembly has assemblers [03:08] wolf23: nope [03:09] g++ is what i have im trying to get to a c++ or my c compiler not assembley [03:09] rance94: g++ is a c++ compiler [03:09] wait i have g++ and gcc [03:09] rj1: thanks for making me read the README.....i missed everything [03:09] SodaPhish: if you say so. I don't see many job listings on craigslist for assembly language programmers... [03:09] jonaskoelker how do i get to g++ compiler [03:09] rance94: this is the ubuntu support channel, try one of the channels about programming [03:09] I thought it might be a hardware issue but windows runs fine on the same machine [03:09] rance94: Applications->Accessories->Terminal [03:10] rance94: sudo apt-get g++ [03:10] is anyone using cairo and dnd2share? [03:10] rj1 i already have it [03:10] rance94: then type g++ my-file.cpp [03:10] whats the main difference between mandriva and ubuntu? [03:10] losha: generally you won't, people who do that tend to not need to look on craigslist [03:10] where my-file.cpp is the c++-file you want compiled [03:10] rj1: We compiled source code written in assembly language hundreds of years ago.... [03:10] then rance94: http://www.cs.bu.edu/fac/gkollios/cs113/Usingg++.html [03:10] mandriva seems more beautiful, but is it as good as ubuntu? [03:10] Doorman352: no you didnt you used an assembler to translate assembly [03:10] microlith: seems like a good argument for my point about them being rare these days.... [03:11] Ironicus: I think you might get a biased answer in here ;-) [03:11] jonaskoelker lol no such file or directory so i guess i make one and enter that [03:11] hehe [03:11] rance94: well, depends on what you want to do [03:11] Doorman352: into binary [03:11] i want to write code like in the dev compiler [03:11] losha: mostly because the only people who need to do it are people porting to new architectures or doing work in super small microcontrollers [03:11] losha, that's because there aren't many jobs that are EXCLUSIVELY assembler related [03:11] rance94: if you just want to code up some random c++, yeah, just go ahead [03:11] but I often hear about tools in ubuntu. I am a programmer, what are those tools for me [03:11] in notepad [03:12] Ironicus emacs/gedit/vim and g++/gcc [03:12] rance94: or vi or emacs :D [03:12] Hamsterdam: try a different release e.g. 8.04. Or maybe a different distro.... [03:12] does anybody know what i would install to get ubuntu base install to detect the right resolution on a system after i've installed an x server? [03:12] Ironicus: emacs/vi, gcc, gdb, gprof, valgrind, ... [03:12] rj1: I'll bow to your obvious expertise, what do I know anyway. [03:12] Doorman352: more than I do but terminology does change ;) [03:12] omfg lol i hate this i want a compiler like dev but for linux do they have a compiler like that or not? [03:12] but how those toos can motivate me to use linux instead of windows for developpemet? [03:12] I hear someone implemented a C compiler in elisp :-> [03:12] those tool* [03:13] rance94: FINE just use eclipse! [03:13] rj1 lol srry k [03:13] Ironicus: because they're better :) [03:13] Thanks all! I'll burn some discs and see where that leaves me [03:13] Ironicus: and as a programmer, you know important it is to have the best possible tools :) [03:13] rj1 didnt mean to say it like that it came out kinda mean lolz srry jonaskoelker [03:13] rance94 all of us answered your question multiple times, I am sorry that I lost my patience though [03:14] gedit doesn't seems better to anything lol [03:14] rance94: oh, now I see. I'm fine :) [03:14] I have a problem: I lost sound after resuming from stand bye. I still see volume control. But still no sound [03:14] Ironicus: small companies like those tools because they're free and as good (if not better) than commercial offerings....

[03:26] rj1, if by karmic koala defaults then yes [03:26] rance94: note also that you can write a C program and ask gcc to show you the assembly language it creates. Great learning tool... [03:26] rj1, thanks [03:26] sebsebseb: where, here, or there? [03:26] avgeneral: type in pulseaudio see if that works [03:26] datz: here [03:26] spO no problem [03:26] sebsebseb: yep [03:26] I broke my sound. I wanted to get my mic to work on RecordMyDesktop so I insalled Jack Control from the repo and and did some messing around with it. Before I found out the sound went away I removed Jack control. It later came to me after messing with other settings that it may have been jack. I disconnected it from the server, but it crashed on me. It kept crashing on me installed and remved it a couple of times still no dice [03:26] inertial well see i did use win xp and i know c++ and python but i want to learn asm and now i have linux and i dont know what to use to program in asm [03:26] do many of you make money using linux? [03:26] datz: sure, but sometimes not that much going on [03:26] rj1: Daemon already running. \n pa_pid_file_create() failed [03:27] rj1: not to harp, but check the link I posted..... "Step 2. Compile .asm (source code) to .o (object)" [03:27] sebsebseb: true, the same old I assume [03:27] datz: the same old? [03:27] Has anyone else reported a seriously messed-up X in ubuntu . SIS onboard video, Logitech cordless mouse. [03:27] Doorman352: doorman there is a difference between assembled and compiled languages :D [03:27] losha: that may work, I had seen that, but then does the server need any configuring to make it work. or just the clients? [03:27] rance94: what do you want to learn asm for? you only have to hand write it if you're writing system code and even then only small amounts [03:27] WOW. Upgraded last night. Amazing. [03:27] sebsebseb: the same old sujects...just a guess..could be something new all the time ;) [03:27] subjects* [03:27] does anyone know how to make the pidin facebook plugin work? [03:28] pidgin [03:28] pressman57: well SIS graphics cards don't work in Desktop Linux at all it seems, so I guess same thing for cordless mouse's === gandhi_ is now known as gandhi [03:28] avgeneral: that is weird. I recommend you post on the forums and wait for someone more skilled than I [03:28] Blue1: install it === default is now known as xcat [03:28] Blue1: and then tools > plugins and enable it [03:28] lol ok. thx anyways [03:28] Anyone know how to fix MIME entries? [03:29] I've a real unique problem. . . [03:29] pressman57: yep SIS don't support Linux :( as far as I know and if I remember correctly [03:29] sebsebseb, well they work just fine in Gentoo. I'm talkin' an unusable system. It's an embarrassment. [03:29] inertial well i heard it was really low level so it sounds interesting [03:29] sebsebseb: i have it installed and all that (there is nothing in tools/plugins) I get the error messages (unable to retrive buddlist) [03:30] My Guitar Pro tabs are recognized as "Guitar Pro Tableture" but the MIME entry is "audio/" I don't know how to fix that. . . Please help. [03:30] rance94 have you taken a course in programming? (any courses at all, being absolutely serious here) [03:30] rance94: i'd suggest getting a development board for a microcontroller and learning the assembler for it [03:30] pressman57: well quite a few things that don't just work in Ubuntu, will in another distro [03:30] rj1 no lol im 15 and ive read books and youtube [03:30] jrtroberts: well the way the web page does it, you make a CD and then just insert it on any machine you want to install stuff on.... [03:30] to who ever needed info on MIME entries what exactly did you need did you check .htaccess [03:30] rj1: Don't know if I could argue that nowadays, but back in my day, we compiled code....... Z80, 8080, 8086 era; been a looong time [03:30] rance94: programming a microcontroller in assembler would be more satisfying because you can do more... [03:30] excuse me if I spelled that wrong [03:31] NightEyes1, What's htaccess? [03:31] Doorman352: heh, you're really old.... [03:31] sebsebseb, they worked in three past versions of Ubuntu. Why won't they now? [03:31] losha right, but I need a server since repositories can be several GB a cd may not work. [03:31] NightEyes1, or .htaccess? [03:31] inertial well after i finish this program im writing in python ill try that [03:31] pressman57: ,because sometimes hardware that just worked in previous versions of Ubuntu, don't in a later one [03:31] * Doorman352 is older than dirt, I remember workin on systems with < 1K RAM [03:32] For some reason my kubuntu laptop SD reader is not working, and it worked nicely like 5 hours ago!!! whats happening??? [03:32] NightEyes1, I have a "audio/x-gtp" entry for Guitar Pro filetypes, but it's getting overridden by the "audio/" entry that I don't know how to fix. . . [03:32] rance94: ok good luck :) [03:32] !.htaccess [03:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about htaccess [03:32] it's a file I used it to add a speacal 404 page to my site. you can access it in the main directory of your site if your using it for wesites [03:32] got a cool question [03:32] does cron run bash scripts with root permissions? [03:33] how can i boot straight to a command prompt only in ubuntu hardy? [03:33] inertial k thx [03:33] NightEyes1, Not webpages. MIME types. The computer's way of recognizing file contents. The kind denoted by the file extension. . . [03:33] Fretegi_2: you might research run levels [03:33] i forgot the name of the app that executes scheduled commands... what was it? [03:33] jrtroberts: well, I'm pretty sure you could adapt the process to run from disk instead of cdrom. You'll have to do a bit of digging on google for it though, as I've never done it myself... [03:33] Can anybody help me with this problem? [03:33] justfil, cron [03:33] Bam_Bam, yes, thank you [03:34] does cron run bash scripts with root permissions? [03:34] well on other distros you can edit the /etc/inittab file and adjust the run levels... not sure on ubuntu [03:34] Bam_Bam: only if you add the commands to roots crontab [03:34] Ok, thanks [03:34] one time I was messing with the file and instead of PHP pages appearing they would download on a users computer I then found that it modified the MIME files [03:34] How do I set compiz to focus apps that require attention even if they are located on other workspaces? [03:35] can someone use ipp2p on ubuntu server ? [03:35] I removed it the lines of code that where responsible [03:35] sebsebseb, because of kernel size? Do I have to install a "retro-kernel" and all that entails, or do I re-build the source? What a pain in the ass. [03:35] that's why I mentioned it [03:35] hi, i have a 100gb partition and have set it up as ext3...how do i make it writeable by me? [03:35] NightEyes1, Yeah. . . but this has nothing to do with webpages. . . [03:36] Fretegi_2: you can do that in ubuntu as well [03:36] How do I set compiz to focus apps that require attention even if they are located on other workspaces? [03:36] jamed, how so? [03:36] ok just thought I might throw that out there you weren't very specific [03:36] sebsebseb: there is no plugin setting for pidgin/facebook -- [03:36] I want a dual-monitor single video card that will play well with ubuntu (compiz willing), is there any particular brand which would be likely to not cause me much stress to get working? [03:36] i get a blank doc if i try to edit /etc/inittab [03:36] Fretegi_2: sudo nano /etc/inittab (ar whatever editor you prefer) [03:37] Fretegi_2: oh, strange [03:37] Blue1: you need to install the plugin for Facebook IM [03:37] Blue1: and then enable it in Pidgin [03:37] lemme try again [03:37] Jamed, it appears that the root account is used to run the /etc/cron.hourly scripts on the 9.10 server I have [03:37] been using gedit === m4v_ is now known as m4v [03:37] sebsebseb: installed but no way to enable - it just shows up in the list of accounts... [03:37] hello, has anyone else had trouble getting sftp to work after installing openssh-server? ssh works great but sftp'ing to the machine fails [03:37] hello, does anyone know the package to install for ubuntu to use .wmv files? [03:37] Blue1: yes it's an account [03:37] Blue1: you need to set the account up for it [03:38] Bam_Bam: since its in /etc i guess it is roots crontab [03:38] saladfinger:ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:38] vlc media player will play .wmv [03:38] sebsebseb: yes I've set the up but it still says unable to retrieve buddy list... [03:38] Jamed, I just didn't know so I asked. 17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly [03:38] does anyone know how to edit the apt-mirror /etc/apt/mirror.list file to add other repositories such as medibuntu? how do I get all the information I need to create an entry? [03:38] do someone use ipp2p on ubuntu ? [03:39] lucascastro, are ssh tunnels a possibility for you? [03:39] roberts, etc/init.d/ sound better? [03:39] Blue1: make sure username and password are correct, also which Ubuntu are you on? [03:39] Someone, please. I need help. . . I have a MIME type entry "audio/x-gtp" for GuitarPro files, "*.gtp *.gp2 *.gp3 *.gp4 *.gp5" But when I right click for properties, It says the type is "audio/" This error is overriding my settings. How can I fix this!? [03:40] hello, i have created an USB disk creator on my thumbdrive. I selected the option "stored in the extetnded space". when booting, i create my own account, then System Administration Login Screen, i select this new account as default automatic login. When i shutdown, reboot, it'll autologin with the default "ubuntu" user .. any idea why ? [03:40] sebsebseb: they are correct - this is what I have installed -- ii pidgin-faceboo 1.60-1.1 Facebook Chat plugin for Pidgin [03:40] I am on ubuntu 9.10 (64 bit) [03:40] Speaking of crontab I'm having trouble getting things to run from 6.5-14.. * 6.5-14 * * 1-5 cmd not working [03:40] Blue1: ok well as far as I know you can also use that plugin in Empathy [03:40] (i'm on on 9.10 i386) [03:40] Theres a FACEBOOK plugin for pidgin *GLEE* [03:40] rj1: Facebook IM yeah [03:40] Fretegi_2: what about the init.d file? [03:40] How do I change the ubuntu OS timezone? [03:41] rj1: yes that's what I am trying to get to work - the pidgin/facebook plugin [03:41] is it booting a live cd cam? [03:41] is there a console where I get anti-aliased fonts ? [03:41] bam_bam there should be a menu item under administration [03:41] well just trying to find the ubuntu runlevels lol [03:41] like the one in dreamlinux [03:41] bondy: i booting a usb thumbdrive [03:41] which I don't remember the name of [03:41] that is a GRUB booting option [03:41] Bam_Bam: i'm talking about ipp2p blocks by firewall's [03:41] hi, i have a 100gb partition and have set it up as ext3...how do i make it writeable by me? [03:41] If anyone knows how to get sound working again please tell me. I do accept PMs if neccary [03:41] is the image a live cd though cam? [03:42] is there any software in ubuntu that does this - play the audio from my youtube playlist- ??? [03:42] is there a console where I get anti-aliased fonts ? [03:42] rj1, I need a command line alternative [03:42] Fretegi_2: i just realized that there is no inittab anymore. i guess its because ubuntu uses upstart now [03:42] wat [03:42] ahh, gotcha, so how do i boot directly to a command terminal only then [03:42] bondy: i used USB disk creator to create the thumb drive with persistent mode on [03:42] jrtroberts: look at 'man apt-mirror' for sample config lines.... [03:43] is there a way to mount a ssh connection? [03:43] bam_bam gimme a second [03:43] dont want gnome loading, just right to a command prompt but not in any kind of recovery or safe mode [03:43] Fretegi_2: i have no idea sorry. i only know the inittab way [03:43] My dhcp sercer isn't working [03:43] freaky[t], there is always the recovery mode [03:43] digitalfiz, sshfs works for me. [03:43] Ashfire908, ty :) [03:43] digitalfiz: sshfs [03:43] Fretegi_2, , there is always the recovery mode [03:43] I want a dual-monitor single video card that will play well with ubuntu (compiz willing), is there any particular brand which would be likely to not cause me much stress to get working? i know nvidia drivers are proprietary. Is that bad? [03:43] Fretegi_2, idk if there is a better option [03:43] Bam_Bam, ? [03:44] sorry wrong nick [03:44] bam_bam http://www.wikihow.com/Change-the-Timezone-in-Linux try this at your own risk [03:44] is there a console where I get anti-aliased fonts ? [03:44] rj1, I accept the risk [03:44] thank you [03:44] * Shazzamy [03:44] Fretegi_2: have you tried CTRL+ALT+F1 at boot? [03:45] cam_: Did you enable persistence? [03:45] TTY1 [03:45] hmmmm... well its for running on a server, no need to waste resources on the gui, never need to work on it, can always load later if needed anyhow, thats the goal at least [03:45] hadnt tried that roberts, i shall tho thanks [03:45] I am trying to make a video of my desktop, but I want to use music coming from my songbird. I have jackd installed but it doesnt seem to be working. I am using gtk recordmydesktop [03:45] can anyone help me? [03:45] did you install server or desktop? [03:45] does karmic sync its clock to internet time? or is there a way to enable this without too much hassle? [03:46] since the last time I installed server it did not have a gui installed by default. [03:46] Fretegi_2: if you use jrtroberts way it will still start the GUI [03:46] Jordan_U: yes [03:46] taofd, it does it automatically [03:46] I'm lost. Can someone help me? [03:46] Fretegi_2, IF you want a no-gui server, install ubuntu server edition. [03:46] xim_, oh it does? cool :) [03:46] well currently its desktop, just trying to figure it out, should be the same yes? [03:46] taofd, yeah you dont set the clock, just the timezone [03:46] cam_: How large is the flash drive? [03:46] taofd, in fact, i wouldnt know how to sit it to an arbitarry time if i wanted to [03:46] yea there is no need for the gui to run until i need it, and if i build it right that wont be often :) [03:47] I believe that server does not distribute with the desktop environment [03:47] xim_, i mean, is it kept up to date though.. is it kept in sync? [03:47] I am trying to make a video of my desktop, but I want to use music coming from my songbird. I have jackd installed but it doesnt seem to be working. I am using gtk recordmydesktop [03:47] can anyone help me? [03:47] you have to install it with the apt-get [03:47] Ashfire908, ever use it with id_rsa files? i dont seem to see a way to in the help [03:47] xim_, like windows and mac will occassionall ping an internet server to check time [03:47] at least that is how it was with 8.04 [03:47] my flash drive is 16GB; i installed ubuntu on a 2GB partition. [03:47] i am running 8.04 actually [03:47] so try installing the server and that will cut out a lot of problems. [03:47] Jordan_U: my flash drive is 16GB; i installed ubuntu on a 2GB partition. [03:47] Fretegi_2, upgrade to karmic, you're missing out :) [03:47] Fretegi_2: i found something: edit DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL in /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf [03:48] right but you are using the desktop distro, no the server distro [03:48] xim_: proprietary just means that the drivers are closed sourced. dual screen with nvidia cards is pretty ez on windows anyway. not too sure if it will work with linux. haven't tried that yet. [03:48] hi, im using karmic. and i have installed gnome and KDE. i would like to know if i can make cairo dock autostart in gnome but not in KDE. currently it autostarts on both. anyone know how? [03:48] taofd, lol yeah, theres plenty of people using ubuntu, you can assume things like that work. although i dont know anything about the actual sync algorithms [03:48] Oh, I've got another question... How come sudo updatedb in my server returns command not found, even with the FindUtils package? [03:48] Fretegi_2: oh, hten ignore my last message [03:48] digitalfiz, one sec [03:48] Fretegi_2: *then [03:48] eL_psycho where did you set the startup [03:48] xim_, thanks dude :) [03:48] excuse my ignorance, but is it as easy to upgrade from an 'alternate' release than just the standard one? [03:48] rj1, in gnome. [03:48] Anyone know how to set compiz (or gnome) to focus apps that require attention even if they are located on other workspaces? [03:48] cam_: For a 16 gig flash drive I would suggest a normal install, just use the standard installer and make sure you set grub to be installed to the flash drive rather than your internal drive [03:48] I am trying to make a video of my desktop, but I want to use music coming from my songbird. I have jackd installed but it doesnt seem to be working. I am using gtk recordmydesktop [03:48] ok there should be something called xcript. Just set it on that. [03:48] I am trying to make a video of my desktop, but I want to use music coming from my songbird. I have jackd installed but it doesnt seem to be working. I am using gtk recordmydesktop [03:48] thanks jamed, i would upgrade however i cannot, no graphix support that i am aware of [03:48] plustax: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:48] rynye, i know it will work with windows, but i also know computers that refuse to run ubuntu because of certain video cards (atleast >vga) [03:49] el_psycho ignore what I said [03:49] gimme a second [03:49] rj1, ok [03:49] xim: from my understanding even if they where closed source doesn't mean someone can't make opensource drivers that just so happen to work [03:49] man i feel like an idiot, cant remember anything, whats the command to check version again? i only found my kernel [03:49] jongberg1: hello [03:49] cam_: There are disadvantages to a standard "persistent" install, for instance you can't upgrade the kernel [03:49] digitalfiz, how are you useing ssh at the moment? [03:50] Ashfire908, yes i can ssh using a id_rsa just cant find the options in sshfs to do so [03:50] I encrypted a partition where my home directory is. under 9.10 at boot i don't always type my password before the gui login screen appears and i can't login. has anyone documented fixes for this problem? [03:50] el_psycho try using the xsession script [03:50] Fretegi_2: try run level 3 or 4 [03:50] and then just starting that as a session [03:50] Oh, I've got another question... How come sudo updatedb in my server returns command not found, even with the FindUtils package? [03:50] then remove the gnome startup [03:50] 3 - Multiple users, command line (i.e., all-text mode) interface; the standard runlevel for most Linux-based server hardware. [03:50] 4 - User-definable === mr is now known as Guest35323 [03:50] Ashfire908, for ssh its -i id_rsa_file but sshfs doesnt seem to have that option [03:50] digitalfiz, i don't think you need to tell it to use a key... [03:51] thats the only way to login to my server lol [03:51] oh and eL_pSycHo try that at your own risk [03:51] anyone know the apt-get install ... for instaling lamp server all at once I know there is a package that does so? [03:51] digitalfiz: i would think it would use the key in your ~/.ssh directory [03:51] digitalfiz, when i use a key it's transparent... [03:51] rj1, so, start xsession, and then do what there? [03:51] its not a key its an identification method [03:51] spirits-sight: sudo apt-get install lamp-server [03:52] digitalfiz, whatever you want to call it... [03:52] i dont use a password i use id_rsa [03:52] Support for collaborative applications (“tubes”). What is that? [03:52] el_psycho im going to have to boot into linux real quick, you might want to consider asking someone else I might be confused XD [03:52] digitalfiz, is the id_rsa file in your ~/.ssh directory? [03:52] k think i found it, ill report back [03:52] Ashfire908, if it helps im on an amazon ec2 install of ubuntu [03:53] spirits-sight: sudo tasksel [03:53] rj1, hehe thanks. im gonna take a look at xsession. [03:53] nick xcat === default is now known as xcat [03:53] eL_pSycHo: no wait xsession should work [03:53] here [03:53] jongjong: OK do you know if its the same for the server edition ? if so why would it say can't find package lamp-server [03:53] xim: I only know of one video card which im running that will handle duel screens just fine. pretty, sure anyway. im running a geforce go 7400 if that helps any. it's a laptop card..so it runs on the slow side. [03:53] digitalfiz, is the id_rsa file in your ~/.ssh directory? [03:53] Ashfire908, yes [03:54] spirits-sight: i dont think there is a package lamp-server [03:54] http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docbook/en/html/app-setup.html it wont look exactly the same so I am advising you to ask around the forums [03:54] digitalfiz, and sshfs doesn't autouse the key/whatever? [03:54] digitalfiz: does ssh use the key automatically ? [03:54] spirits-sight: There is no lamp package but there is a lamp "tak" in tasksel [03:55] Jordan_U: that the one how do you do this please [03:55] spirits-sight: sudo tasksel [03:56] Jordan_U: so what should i do ? [03:56] cam_: For a 16 gig flash drive I would suggest a normal install, just use the standard installer and make sure you set grub to be installed to the flash drive rather than your internal drive [03:56] Billiard1, Ashfire908, i had to rename it to id_rsa for it to work [03:56] digitalfiz: yeah that makes sense [03:56] digitalfiz, that's normal. [03:56] Ashfire908, but now i get: read: Connection reset by peer [03:57] hi, i have a 100gb partition and have set it up as ext3...how do i make it writeable by me? [03:57] Why would a filetype read as "audio/" when it has a MIME type entry in the database? "audio/x-gtp" [03:57] digitalfiz, I'm totally clueless towards that. === arvind_k is now known as arvind_khadri [03:57] cam_: To set where grub is installed click advanced when you get to this screen: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/images/9.10/9.jpg [03:57] Ashfire908, well i wanted to specify the id_rsa because i have different id_rsa's depending on the host [03:58] !mime [03:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about mime [03:58] digitalfiz, ah. [03:58] f*** [03:58] has anyone used maconlinux? [03:58] LordHawke13, you mean fsck? [03:58] digitalfiz: you may be able to have multiple keys in one id_rsa file [03:59] Billiard1, ah didnt think about that ill check it out thanks [03:59] Whoa, I didn't know Evolution could deal with GMail, and MS Exchange Web Access accounts! Zowie. [03:59] digitalfiz: but im not positive [03:59] Ashfire908, I mean a lot of things. . . I'm stumped and I can't find any answers, anywhere. [03:59] hey guys - how can I check the md5 sum of an ISO cd I already made? [03:59] !md5 | Roasted [03:59] Roasted: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [04:00] sumeetbali, MOL has had almost no activity in over 3 years, you might want to search for another alternative [04:00] Roasted, MD5 the volume, then MD5 the ISO [04:00] Jordan_U: the reason i went for a "live cd" was because of read/write made on the key which could alter the life of the thumbdrive ... what do u think about that ? [04:00] vivid,okay do you know of any others? [04:00] hello [04:00] Roasted, I think i've md5sumed the device before and I think that works. [04:00] what is a good file search tool ,, like beagle or gnome--do what are the best ones [04:00] how do i decrypt my /home so i can install a differant distro [04:00] kylo, Goodbye. This room's fresh out of answers tonight. . . [04:00] lockhawke13 - well, yeah, but how do I check it on the CD... I already burned it. I have the md5 of the iso file but I wanted to make sure it matches on the CD. [04:01] lordhawk* [04:01] Roasted, sudo dd if=CDROM_DEVICE | md5sum [04:01] cam_: You are still writing just as much when you use persistant mode ( sometimes more because of having to do a copy on write for existing files ) [04:01] sumeetbali, i do not, however, most of mac os is open source, i would try to find open replacements for whatever it is youre trying to do [04:01] Pop it back in and md5 sum the mount point. Shouls work. [04:01] lordhawke13 - nope, it wont [04:01] Roasted, where CDROM_DEVICE is the cdrom device node. [04:01] is there a program i can use to broadcast my webcam from ubuntu?

[04:03] PhantomLink, gotta find it [04:03] dpreacher: Have you tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? [04:03] Ashfire908, I should match that to something that tells me that the disk burned correctly right? [04:03] PhantomLink, you know it should work via flash with justin.tv, ustream etc.. right? [04:03] Jordan no. will try that. thanks [04:04] they're not picking up the cam [04:04] I'll use a windows VM [04:04] this cam is windows compatible [04:04] greezmunkey, the md5sum should match the md5sum the iso should be. [04:04] PhantomLink, what cam? [04:04] PhantomLink, im pretty good with cams [04:04] logitech quickcam IM connect [04:04] can somebody help me with using eclipse to program in c/c++ ?????????????????????????????? [04:05] i used to use justin.tv but they changed their thing [04:05] :( [04:05] how do i decrypt my /home so i can install a differant distro [04:05] it doesn't give me the "accept" button [04:05] rance94, not if you use that many question marks. [04:05] PhantomLink, yeah i actually noticed that they did tonight.... [04:05] rance94: what is the prob [04:05] Does anyone else have problems with spammers from this channel? I'm using pidgin [04:05] PhantomLink: use netbeans? [04:05] maybe konqeror might work? [04:05] netbeans? [04:05] Ashfire908, I just burned one, so I'll run that and see what it does... [04:06] #quit [04:06] PhantomLink: it's another ide that has c/c++ support. [04:06] how do i decrypt my /home so i can install a differant distro [04:06] PhantomLink, check here: http://apiwiki.justin.tv/mediawiki/index.php/Linux_Broadcasting_API [04:06] lol sorry ashfire lol got a little carried away haha im srry [04:06] stupid i know but... it's worth a shot [04:06] k [04:06] if you want justin.tv back [04:06] PhantomLink, there are other methods though depending on what you're trying to do [04:07] just broadcast video of my kitty to my friends [04:07] :D [04:07] Billiard1 i needed some help with eclipse since i just downloaded it i need help on how to make a folder and where to start writing code [04:07] which app can I use for simple 10 seconds screen capture movie?

[04:07] how do i decrypt my /home so i can install a differant distro [04:08] PhantomLink, perhaps zoneminder can do a broadcast? [04:08] inveratulo because i was told it was good [04:08] kylo: You probably mean 'remove the encryption'. [04:08] zoneminder? [04:08] rance94: well ive never used eclipse, is there a new project button maybe? i could help you with codeblocks [04:08] rance94 always question opinions :-P [04:08] too many words, but yes, that is what i would like to do [04:08] kylo: I don't recall what encryption Ubuntu uses for its home partitions, but chances are you could find a package on whatever other distro you're installing that'll allow you to use it, without removing the encryption. [04:09] inveratulo ok i will good advice [04:09] Hi, can any one tell me if network manager has been fixed so it can connect to cisco vpn or ssl vpn (openvpn) i need these to be able to leave windows [04:09] In Crunch Bang (#!) how do I change the time to 12 hour format; is it a part of conky? [04:09] does anyone know how to fix a problem caused by Jack. It removed all my sound [04:09] the problem is, i installed fedora over my ubuntu install using the same /home so when i goto login to fedora it tells me it cant create /home folders [04:10] rance94: I know a little eclipse [04:11] chogydan ok well ill brb [04:11] Ashfire908, The process seems to take a while... [04:11] How do I get a cronjob to start at say 6:30 and run once a minute until 14:00? === default is now known as xcat [04:11] greezmunkey, how long is a while? [04:12] I just burned one, so I'll run that and see what it does... [04:12] oops [04:12] anyone in here use beagle or tracker or know of a good alternative [04:12] what do you suggest i use for winrar files [04:12] wdouglas, use crontab to kick off the script and handle the 1 minute waits with your script logic? [04:12] can i use swine [04:12] Ashfire908, I started a minute or two ago... [04:12] Wine lol [04:12] alias [04:12] Is there a wiki or a man page or a website that tells how to change the time to 12 hour format? [04:12] how can I capture a video of a window on my desktop? [04:12] anoyone know anything about getting VPNs working [04:12] greezmunkey, checking the disk? is the disk still reading? [04:12] Ashfire908, yes [04:13] inveratulo: It looks like that's about the only way to get it going kinda sad about it. Thanks [04:13] Ashfire908, hold on, I think it's done. [04:13] wdouglas, check out python, its great for little one off scripts like that [04:13] when doing tasksel it has option for basic ubuntu server <-- what is this exactly, I know what LAMP is but do I want this other thing or not? [04:13] what does people suggest on unzipping winrar Files [04:13] how do i install the newer version of gcc? [04:14] Alrighty, happier to use python anyway though it'll be calling perl, how dirty lol [04:14] spO sudo apt-get install gcc [04:14] Ashfire908, here's what I got back, what next? http://paste.ubuntu.com/312698/ [04:14] ziggy_ saying "winrar" is ambiguous. what platform are you on and what is the file? is it a .tar? tar.gz? .tgz? [04:15] should get you the latest in repository [04:15] spirits-sight: you can do a tasksel list or something to see the packages [04:15] greezmunkey, uh... [04:15] greezmunkey, let me try. [04:15] ziggy_ you just need to install the appropriate package and arhive manager will do it for you [04:15] I did but it does not tell me what basic ubuntu server is? [04:16] rj1, i have version 4.4.1 , i want version 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 , apt-get doesn't do it [04:16] i ziped it using winrar on a windows platform then transferd it to a linux ubuntu os the file format is rar [04:16] Ashfire908, I think I understand the value of this, but how do I validate my results? [04:16] spirits-sight: it certainly isn't more than the packages it installs... so the answer to your question would be a generalization of those packages [04:16] hey guys i have two questions how do i fix this: http://lookpic.com/i/754/VWkP1Ng0.png also what dirver should i use for my card? ATI x1400 [04:17] spO add the appropriate repository [04:17] if i install kdebade-runtime is it going to mess with gnome? [04:17] ziggy_ sudo apt-get install rar [04:17] ziggy_ try running 'aptitude install unrar' at a terminal, then 'unrar /path/to/filename' [04:17] that should do it [04:17] rj1, wish i knew where that was [04:17] one second spO [04:17] kdebase-runtime i mean [04:17] ziggy_ you might have to "unrar --help" i don't know if I told you 100% correct answer [04:17] Ashfire908, so you know, the iso is the Ubuntu 9.10 alternate i386 install. I plan to use this for the server I just got (for free) [04:17] ok thanks i'll try [04:18] i'll tell you how it goes [04:18] greezmunkey, the output you got isn't vaild, did you set a file for md5sum? [04:18] admin/ [04:18] sudo apt-get install rar [04:18] www [04:18] this one seems to be working on something [04:18] greezmunkey, why aren't you using server edition for the server (or is this not to be a server?) [04:18] Ashfire908, Enlighten me on how to do that please. === kiwifunk is now known as zz_kiwifunk [04:19] greezmunkey, no you shouldn't have set a file. I was just wondered if you did. [04:19] installed the Flock browser, how do you set up java and flash? [04:19] How do I stop GDM? killall -9 gdm just keeps having it respawn, it's pissing me off to no end. Why the hell does X and GDM keep respawning? [04:19] ziggy_ oddly enough if you do a 'aptitude search rar' it shows separate packages for rar and unrar, you may want to install both [04:19] noobert: Mind your language, please. [04:19] noobert: You want sudo service gdm stop. [04:20] sudo killall gdm [04:20] mrlolplx: tried that 509 times [04:20] (or something to that extent, I've forgotten how the service thing works) [04:20] MenZa: I will try that thanks [04:20] then sudo service gdm stop [04:20] Ashfire908, It's pretty old, 4 years. Dell Poweredge 600 SC, P4 400MHz sidebus, 2GB RAM, 180Gig HDD's Stock everything else. Should make a pretty good desktop! [04:20] yeah i didn't research i didn't have time [04:20] sorry [04:20] Alternatively, noobert, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop will work ;) [04:20] format C: will work [04:20] But it'll complain at you for stopping a service the 'wrong' way. [04:20] greezmunkey, what command did you run? (exactly what command) [04:20] Hmm, sshd does not start automatically even though symlinks are there in rc?.d . No mention of sshd in logs either. [04:20] noobert: it is set to respawn, so you cant kill it. dont aske me how ti disable that: i have no clue [04:20] greezmunkey, sounds like the two machines I have. [04:21] greezmunkey, except I got only a gig per I think. [04:21] Ashfire908, sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom | md5sum [04:21] mrlolplx please refrain from telling people to erase their drives [04:21] thank you menza it worked [04:21] greezmunkey, should have got an output like 8d4e334ec51451025e940217e2899129 - [04:21] noobert: excellent :) [04:21] Everybody's time here is in 24 hour format? [04:22] mac8a where do you see this time? [04:22] Please help change format of time to 12 hour format [04:22] does anyone know how to recover sound loss caused by Jackd. I tried to disconnect and still no sound [04:22] EVERYONE on this channel should READ THIS before executing ANY commands: http://ubuntuforums.org/announcement.php?a=54 [04:22] Mac8a: what program? [04:22] I'm getting an installed archives failed error after installing the nvidia drivers from the hardware panel and a crash [04:22] can anyone help me fix that? [04:22] inveratulo, in the bottom right conner of Crunch Bang [04:22] Mac8a: Don't worry about time. Messages get by really fast. [04:22] Ashfire908, hmm, my system reads the CD fine though. I was able to browse into it, and when I inserted it that system asked my if I wanted to do an update... [04:23] Billiard1: Crunch Bang Linux [04:23] Billiard1, OpenBox? === rage_ is now known as rage [04:23] greezmunkey, sounds right... [04:23] Anyone have any ideas why ssh does not start automatically even though symlinks are in rc?.d ? [04:23] Ashfire908, which CD did you test? [04:23] !derivatives | Mac8a [04:23] Mac8a: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang) [04:23] greezmunkey, *a* cd. I don't even know if it worked right. [04:23] spO http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK [04:23] guys - ever single time I burn a kubuntu livecd, the cd check finds an error. I've burned it 5 times, using different cds, k3b and brasero, and two different downloaded isos - still fails. wtf? [04:24] Roasted: Burn at low-speed. === massmc is now known as goonbag [04:24] Roasted: If it continues to do so, you may have a faulty DVD writer. [04:24] Dink: are your symlinks valid? does it start when you use one your your symlinks with start [04:24] kinja-sheep, thank you for redirecting me [04:24] Roasted: install ubuntu then just install the kubuntu package [04:24] Billiard1, yeah. The links are valid. It starts fine when if I manually do it [04:24] if what MenZa said doesnt work [04:24] Ashfire908, cuz, I also burned the Live CD, but haven't installed from CD yet so I wasn't sure if I could use it. My preference would be to have the installer ask me about my system one question at a time letting me build the system the way I want it. [04:24] menza - but... I did burn at the slowest speed... every single times... and ubuntu cds burn fine. I find it hard to believe the iso on the kubuntu site is bad, but damn... [04:25] Roasted: It shouldn't be. Have you checked the md5sums? [04:25] Dink: which rc?.d is it? [04:25] In any case, Roasted, if your Ubuntu CD works fine, you can simply install the package kubuntu-desktop straight from that, log out, choose Kubuntu as your session, and you're good to go. [04:25] menza - I have the md5 of the ISO before burning, but I dont know how to check the md5 of an already finished live cd. === jerald is now known as prappl93 [04:25] MenZa: ninjad [04:26] Ashfire908, I think I'll google this md5sum business so I have it down going forward. It sounds like a good tool to have. [04:26] menza maybe Ill do that with ubuntu installing the kubuntu desktop. Is that a bad idea though or is it still solid? [04:26] Roasted: Hrm, I know you can do so from Linux, (dd if=/dev/cdrom0 | md5sum), but no idea if you can do it from Windows. [04:26] !md5sum | greezmunkey [04:26] greezmunkey: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [04:26] Roasted, its a perfectly good idea [04:26] 9.10 i want to know about inittab [04:26] Roasted: It's just as solid. [04:26] Roasted it just uses up a tiny bit more harddrive space [04:26] somebody help please! can anyone help please, is there a way to make my keyboard buttons typing with sound? [04:26] rj1: You can remove the GTK/GNOME packages, though :) [04:26] Billiard1, S*ssh files are in 2,3,4 and K*ssh files are in rc1 [04:27] ghw: there is no more inittab in 9.10 [04:27] rj1, menza - thats perfectly fine. I just wanted to make sure it wasnt "halfassing it" like upgrading from distro to distro can be. [04:27] sudo aptitude install rar unrar [04:27] this one works better [04:27] MenZa: in my experience trying to remove those is like trying to pull teeth [04:27] Roasted: Not at all :) [04:27] ghw inittab has gone the way of the dodo [04:27] Billiard1, all symlinked to init.d/ssh === TheFunkbomb_ is now known as TheFunkbomb [04:27] rj1: Just check what packages ubuntu-desktop pulls in, and remove those ;) [04:27] Dink: what number for the starts [04:27] MenZa I messed up my desktop by improperly removing compiz to use metacity XD [04:27] :D [04:28] hi guys, I need help with using tar for backup purposes; can some one explain to me how to use the --compare option to check the integrity of the newly created archive? [04:28] 2,3,4,5 [04:28] hi - just looking at the instructions here but b43-fwcutter doesn't seem to be on the 9.10 install disk - any suggestions? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [04:28] Jamed: what is instead of [04:28] Dink: i mean what are the called S??ssh [04:28] Jamed: about runlevel [04:28] ohletmeinnowjesu read the man page [04:28] Jamed: gdm [04:29] hello [04:29] Billiard1, ./rc3.d/S16ssh ./rc4.d/S16ssh ./rc2.d/S16ssh ./rc5.d/S16ssh [04:29] ghw: /etc/init/ ill look it up for you [04:29] how can i make samba allow a user to create a file and give that file a particular group in linux? i already have the section working, i have valid users = .... and i have create mode = 755 but i can't find anything to specify the file group [04:29] menza - question... if I install karmic, along with the kubuntu desktop... but I want to check out gnome shell with ubuntu... will installing gnome shell (to the best that you know) effect the kubuntu side of things? Because I'm trying to use gnome shell more, despite the fact so far I hate it, but I want to use kubuntu more too in case I want to switch to it if gnome shell actually launches in time. [04:29] rj1: -d, --diff, --compare [04:29] find differences between archive and file system [04:29] ghw: http://coffeecode.net/archives/203-Changing-the-default-run-level-in-Ubuntu-9.10-Karmic-Koala.html [04:30] there a way to click on firefox icon, the 2nd time, and have it open as a tab in the already opened firefx winodze? [04:30] Dink: /etc/rc2.d/S16ssh start works? [04:30] is there a particular tool for making a deb from 3rd part kernel module soures? [04:30] Roasted it SHOULD not [04:30] rj1: thats it [04:30] rj1 - thanks dood [04:30] the only problem ive been running into with rar files is say if they have been broken up into peaces they won't go for the next one like most Rapid share software is broken up in files for easyer downloads [04:30] ohletmeinnowjesu: try -h [04:30] Billiard1, yep [04:30] on UNR 9.10 how do I switch to classic desktop? [04:30] billiard1, maybe i'm dumb or lucky-- but in ubuntu i always just started a service e.g. /etc/init/ssh start after installing it via apt-get and it would automaticallys tart on that runlevel every time after, never had to play around with my rc stuff [04:30] Sorry, who was I talking to? [04:31] LinuxFreakD: what do you want to do exactly? [04:31] inveratulo: ssh should be automatically set up yeah [04:31] so yeah i can open the first one but the software isn't smart to go to the next file when there 1 to 2 [04:31] My system took a nose dive. [04:31] jongbergs, I want to change it from the clutter desktop style to the original classic desktop [04:31] Billiard1, This all use to work fine. Not sure at what point it stopped working [04:31] its almost like it wasn't programed i'm gonna go download winrar and hopefully wine picks it up [04:31] ziggy_ try highlighting them all and using right click [04:31] Jamed: ok ,thanks [04:31] and works correctly [04:32] ziggy_ or use wildcards [04:32] Ashfire908, I ran across this, seems interesting. Maybe that dd is a bit unforgiving...: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/coasterless.htm [04:32] and are you SURE it doesnt pick it up? [04:32] or did you just not try to extract [04:32] Billiard1, I should have paid more attention at what point it stopped [04:32] Dink: idk thats odd [04:32] Billiard1, I agree would help if something was in the logs about it not starting [04:33] \ok one moment [04:33] hmm maybe next time I should do an interactive start up or something to see if it even tries to start up ssh [04:33] greezmunkey, if that works... I've lost my cdrom drive, i'm on a netbook now. [04:33] Two questions === arooni-mobile___ is now known as arooni-mobile [04:34] Anyways bed time. I will look more into it and hopefully find something useful [04:34] nite [04:34] billiard1 do something like cat /var/log/message|grep -i ssh [04:34] 1, What should I be setting the fragmentation threshold on wlan0?

[04:50] http://linux.about.com/od/ttl_howto/a/hwtttl14t11.htm [04:51] Geoffrey2: I have the latest available from gnu [04:51] peter [04:51] it's the beta4 release of 1.97, and grub's up to 1.97.1 at this point [04:51] oh, nvm [04:52] is it posible to setup windows positions without compiz in gnome? [04:52] jlilly: behind a router or someother firewall? also telnet from wan is not a good idea [04:52] jlilly, can you pastebin your 'lsof -i' [04:53] wolf23 look in your bios and see if there is an option for keyboad click noise [04:53] inveratulo: lsof -i returns nothing. [04:53] jlilly telnet may only be listening to that port on localhost [04:53] jrtroberts: lol and how should i look for this? [04:53] . [04:54] jlilly sorry make it 'sudo lsof -i' [04:54] Ashfire908, if you are still there, check this out: sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom | md5sum -c ./MD5SUMS [04:54] ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso: OK [04:54] inveratulo: this is the relevant bit: xinetd 2229 root 5u IPv4 8264619 TCP *:git (LISTEN) === goose|ODST is now known as goose [04:54] Anyone here solve xchat issues? [04:54] unless you want the whole thing... (that's the port in question) [04:54] greezmunkey, no, that's checking the iso in the folder your in. === goose is now known as goose|ODST === goose|ODST is now known as goose [04:55] wolf23: this may help if you want to spend money http://www.daskeyboard.com/ [04:55] jlilly, are you sure? [04:55] git uses 3022 i thought [04:55] Ashfire, it read the cd, then gave me that output... [04:56] inveratulo: nope. http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-daemon.html look just under DESCRIPTION [04:56] wolf23: or any other mechanical keyboard. [04:56] i'm trying to set my email account on evolution, what server type i should choose for hotmail? [04:56] question: how should i go about putting an os on an external hard drive? [04:56] greezmunkey, dd read the cd, sent it to md5sum, which ignored thedata, and instead read the file in your current dir. [04:56] jrtroberts: i dont like to pay anything, just asking this question if its possible to make the sound when typing from keyboard and thats all [04:56] wolf23: since most other keyboards seem to be digital and can make a sound if they have a speaker installed in the keyboard [04:57] * jlilly grumbles at colloquy [04:57] some machines make the clicking sound from a speaker in the system. [04:57] ashfire, ok, that's good then, at least I know it downloaded correctly, right! [04:57] so inveratulo, any thoughts? I'm at a loss here. === banister`sleep is now known as banisterfiend [04:58] fisher hotmail doesnt user IMAP [04:58] jlilly yea me too i'm kinda scratching my head. iptables are turned off? you have only one NIC? check your TCP wrappers? [04:58] fisher you want the POP details [04:58] inveratulo: tcp wrappers? how? [04:58] Ashfire, dude I get it - rm -r /etc/dumbass here! [04:59] jlilly cat /etc/hosts.deny [04:59] hi, im planning to setup a WINS server because i have problem connecting between karmic and windows 7 shares thru samba, is it possible to configure ubuntu to act as WINS server? [04:59] huh. have a few entries. let me try removing them. === Dink|W is now known as Dink [04:59] greezmunkey, huh [04:59] Billiard1 or inveratulo, interesting.... when I run "runlevel" said unknown. Wonder if this is some issue with it not knowing what run level therefor not starting correct rc?.d files ?? [04:59] greezmunkey, *huh? [05:00] can someone help me uninstall my nvidia drivers? the computer crashed when running the install from the hardware drivers control panel and apt-get remove is not letting me remove them? [05:00] jlilly if that's the case you migth want to look through your hosts.allow as well [05:00] I think that is it.... It not starting the correct tty therefor doesn't start the init scripts [05:00] jeffmr_, you mean in the middle of installing packages? [05:00] allow contains only... sendmail:all [05:00] hi all, i tried setting default storage engine for mysql by adding this line [05:00] default-storage-engine = innodb [05:00] Ashfire, it means I get it. rm -r /etc/dumbass is me saying that I purged what was keeping me from understanding the concept! [05:00] Ashfire, yes === arvind_k is now known as arvind_khadri [05:00] deny is now empty, but no luck. [05:00] but failed to restart the service [05:00] billiard1 yes your runlevels are boned === Billiard1 is now known as Billiard [05:01] jlilly you might have to restart your service [05:01] jeffmr_, you have to get dpkg to finish the install I think. [05:01] jongbergs: sure but it's unlikely to solve your issues [05:01] inveratulo: im not the one with the prob [05:01] any idea why? I searched the net that's the only way that i found [05:01] please help [05:01] inveratulo: which service? [05:01] Ashfire, can you private chat? [05:01] inveratulo: http://dpaste.de/acir/ [05:01] rj1: on jaunty there is an emulator zsnes for nintendo games,and it works pretty,now i am trying it with karmic and when loading a game the sound begins scratching? why [05:01] Might be a bug with tty or something... really need to go to bed.. nite all [05:01] jeffmr_, yea, but i'm leaving soon. [05:02] wolf23: no idea maybe pulse doesnt play well with your pc try switching to alsa [05:02] rj1: can u tell me how plz, and where? [05:03] anyone? room?: anyone know how to put a bootable os on an external hard drive, just like booting up from the internal hard drive, and not like a live CD? [05:03] jlilly the git-daemon? that's what you have listening on that port right. what protocol and port are you attempting to connect with from a different host? [05:03] wolf23: imo snes9x is better than zsnes also [05:04] inveratulo: I've tried... telnet justinlilly.com 9814 and git clone git://justinlilly.com/emacs.d.git emd [05:04] inveratulo: both of which complain about being unable to connect [05:04] I can telnet to the port just fine from the machine. [05:04] Billiard: i try gfceu it works fine if i disactivate the sound,but with sound it freez the gfceu program, why? [05:05] sounds like sound driver issues... [05:05] jlilly can you even ping your hostname from the remote host? [05:05] Silent_Echo, just install Ubuntu onto your external drive... rather straight forward to this point. if you want to be able to select it at bios you'll need to install Grub onto the drive as well (this was an option in 9.04, not sure about 9.10 but i imagine it's still available in the install hidden somewhere) [05:05] wolf23 try asking #alsa, im not too sure [05:05] inveratulo: yes, both ping and curl work for it. [05:05] ZykoticK9: laymans terms please? [05:06] wolf23: idk [05:06] jlilly funky, what if you set something else up just to test, like telnet on port 23 [05:06] inveratulo: I can telnet to 22 just fine. [05:06] Silent_Echo, during the install it asks you what drive to use -- point it to the external drive (be sure you're not installing to wrong drive!) [05:06] kk [05:07] jongbergs: hello my friend! [05:07] is the only solution to the mouse click problem in flash to turn compiz off? [05:07] do i need x mode in an mp3? no eh? just read and write [05:07] hey [05:07] ZykoticK9: btw how do i install grub too? [05:07] trying to get XChat to connect to SSL server [05:07] Hilikus, x only for directories & executable files/scripts [05:07] digitalfiz: what's the mouse click problem? [05:07] ZykoticK9: cool, thanks [05:08] Silent_Echo, that part is a little more complicated, not sure how 9.10 deals with it actually, haven't tried it yet [05:08] jongieboy: how's your system right now? [05:08] jlilly what if you nmap -vv your host? [05:08] ZykoticK9: how would you go about it in 9.04? [05:09] it's running fine, testing with NFS now..hw bout u? [05:09] Hilikus, there is a mouse click problem for flash in 64bit ubuntu [05:09] digitalfiz: what's the problem? [05:10] inveratulo: didn't notice the port in question at first, but appears to be throttled now. [05:10] Hilikus, mouse click doesnt work :P [05:10] so can some1 help me with CLL and TUI's there is no window manager so how can i have mulitple open? I am not supposed to use jobs am I? [05:10] digitalfiz: hmmm i was having that problem and it was killing me. didn't think it was a known bug [05:10] ee [05:10] Hilikus, think i found another solution [05:11] digitalfiz: what about the opensource player? i switched to it, didn't like it but it might work for you [05:11] Silent_Echo, do you have a 9.04 or 9.10 install cd? [05:11] hmm. suppose I'll try the web console. looks like I got shut out. [05:11] ZykoticK9: 9.10 cd yes [05:11] Hilikus, ill have to try that this last fix didnt work i dont think hehe [05:11] jlilly odd. this is a colo'd box? [05:11] inveratulo: slicehost. [05:12] anybody? [05:12] digitalfiz: do you have more info on the bug? are they working on it? do they know what's the problem? [05:12] jlilly Hmm. Might want to consult someone at slicehost they could have some firewall rules that are blocking your virt [05:12] Hilikus, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8276784&postcount=6 [05:12] that worked for me [05:13] inveratulo: I'll say I doubt it, b/c they're typically pretty good about that. but I'll check. [05:13] thanks for all the help. [05:13] Silent_Echo, i'm starting an install in a VM, give me a couple of minutes [05:13] jlilly good luck [05:13] thx [05:14] how can I onvert ogv to mp4?

I got an error when trying [05:16] benc1: what did you try [05:16] ZykoticK9: sry had to reboot, Opera was giving me problems, and i couldnt kill it cause it wouldnt let me enter terminal [05:16] np Hilikus [05:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/322156/ [05:17] hi i am having xserver issues i trued running a few commands to try and reconfigure it without luck [05:17] hello does any one know where can I download a dictionary file to brake a WPA?? [05:17] Billiard: ffmpeg -i in.ogv out.mp4 wil this work? [05:17] superpaco666 wrong channel [05:18] switchgirl be more specific [05:18] well is a general question a dictionary file only [05:18] ok [05:18] benc1: it may work, what formats are the audio and video, mp4 cant take anything [05:18] could be any one [05:18] superpaco666: google [05:18] I just do not find a good one [05:18] i cant load xorg-xserver on my machine [05:18] can somebody help me run some code of assembly how do i run it from terminal ????? [05:18] (virtual machine) [05:18] well the google ones are not good... [05:18] superpaco666: you can download a dictionary from the repos [05:18] ubuntu studio [05:19] let me google repos [05:19] I installed kubuntu desktop on top of my ubuntu machine. When I boot to kubuntu, I get the kde background along with a terminal - thats it. :( What can I dooooooooo [05:19] one sec [05:19] rance94 ....I thought we agreed you were going to stick with python. you cant run assembly directly from the terminal [05:19] Billiard: I've capture a video using gtk-recordmydesktop and now I want to paly it on windows [05:19] rance94, python is your friend, tons of resources on the net too [05:19] same here with ubntu studio Roasted [05:19] benc1: media player classic should be able to play it in windows [05:19] Billiard: not sure what format I need [05:19] What's the default run level for ubuntu ? [05:19] Silent_Echo1, it's basically the same in 9.04 & 9.10 - for my steps see http://paste.ubuntu.com/322158/ it's pretty straight forward - you are sure you system can boot use right? [05:20] Silent_Echo1, s/use/usb [05:20] ZykoticK9: boot use? [05:20] what is repos [05:20] I got a repurshase agrement [05:20] inveratulo how do i run asm code? [05:20] benc1: i would make it an mkv and install an mkv splitter on the windows machine or use media player classic [05:20] switchgirl - no idea on a fix? [05:20] inveratulo: I think the issue was I had a denyhosts daemon on, which was blocking me. [05:20] but its now fixed. [05:20] Guys, any ideas what could be causing ZSNES to segfault every time I try to load a ROM? [05:20] superpaco666: the package manager there is a word list [05:20] Billiard: thanks [05:21] ZykoticK9: no....how can i check [05:21] jlilly awesome :) [05:21] GodfatherofEire sounds like a rom path issue [05:21] Roasted: startx [05:21] you have a terminal?

[05:45] yes [05:45] superpaco666: fantasdic is just a front-end, you need to install the above packages, and configure fantasdic to listen to localhost instead of the default dictionary.org [05:45] dewayne, be sure you have DNS info populated in your /etc/resolve.conf when you're using static IP [05:45] and under ifconig they show up correct [05:45] hooo ok [05:45] dewayne: can you ping the gateway? [05:45] zykotic.. do I need to edit that file? [05:45] yes I can ping it [05:46] dewayne: can you ping googles ip? [05:46] guys, need help with wireless connection problem.. [05:46] yes I can.. [05:46] isolat3dsh33p: whats the prob [05:46] dewayne: so its a dns prob? [05:46] I don't think so.. I have placed those IP in as well [05:46] dewayne, in you don't have NET then you might have to manually edit it. when you are using dhcp do a "cat /etc/resolv.conf" then compare it when you're set to Static IP! i'm guessing they won't be the same. [05:47] dewayne: well you can ping googles ip but not google.com ? [05:47] ok.. let me try.. [05:47] maybe I am thinking of a macro [05:47] Billiard, my connection is crappy, it's crappy in XP as well but not as crappy in Ubuntu 9.10. I need to refresh few times to load a webpage. P/s: I've disabled IPv6 [05:47] I can ping it either way [05:48] dewayne: what is the prob then? [05:48] dewayne, if you can ping by google.com then you have network [05:48] I can not connect to the web through firefox.. [05:48] I'm trying to create a live environment on my flash drive for Fedora 12, using Ubuntu's USB Startup Disk Creator. The program reads my Karmic iso, but doesn't seem to recognize the Fedora iso. Does this program only work on Ubuntu distros? [05:48] isolat3dsh33p: poor signal? [05:49] firefox finds the web when I am DHCP, it can not when I go to the static.. [05:49] what is better - screenlets or desklets? [05:49] !best > freaky[t] [05:49] I have no idea what this problme can be [05:49] freaky[t], please see my private message [05:49] Billiard, my router is just few centimeters from my laptop.. :/ [05:49] been a wek on this..

[05:49] Billiard, but the wireless connection is 48% [05:49] to chew, I recommend chiclets, truth be told :P [05:50] Billiard, what do u mean? LAN? [05:50] dewayne: only firefox has a problem? [05:50] isolat3dsh33p: no other wireless networks in the area? [05:50] I don't have any other browser to find out.. [05:50] dewayne: well you can use wget? [05:51] yes.. [05:51] in a terminal mode [05:51] dewayne, does apt-get work? [05:51] Billiard, nope, there's only one. [05:51] yes..

[05:53] isolat3dsh33p: well could be poor wireless drivers in ubuntu, you said its bad in windows too, maybe its a poor quality router or card [05:53] !pastbin > dewayne [05:53] maybe some common unix stuff here...but i want to make one user's vbox's avail to everyone, (i am admin), is there an easy way to do this?

In XP I dont need to refresh multiple times. How do i check my internet device?

[05:55] Billiard: yes [05:55] but have configured distcc [05:55] I configured for 3 machines [05:55] Billiard: adaptive multirate recording. it's part of 3gp. [05:55] and now I see distcc doesn't do any lload on those other 2 machines [05:55] Billiard: i need to play it in amarok [05:55] which would suggest that it wasn't configured correctly [05:55] and CC=distcc ./configure [05:55] and make -j 10 [05:55] any ideas on this ? [05:55] !enter > qp_pq [05:55] qp_pq, please see my private message [05:55] ripthejacker: not really a solution, but you might be able to convert with ffmpeg [05:56] Billiard: ohh [05:56] kk [05:56] isolat3dsh33p: check your internet device? [05:56] Billiard: kk [05:56] Billiard: thnks i think i have to find a solution myself [05:57] Billiard, how? [05:57] qp_pq, when i used distcc years ago there was a gui that showed how it was working across the machines - is that even still around? might help ya if it is. good luck man. distcc - brings back memories of gentoo [05:57] isolat3dsh33p: idk what you want to check? [05:58] Basic question here: how do you choose which network connection to use for internet connectivity? [05:58] Billiard, nvm. Thanks anyway. :) [05:58] the network control panel doesn't have much. [05:58] akav: network manager gui? [05:58] ZykoticK9: :) [05:58] ZykoticK9: Im gonna search for the gui, my logs show nothing [05:58] akav: what are you trying to do exactly? [05:59] the_beav, switch to ethernet cable from wireless. [05:59] akav, when it says enable networking/enable wireless...i think if you uncheck "enable networking", wireless will be it's only option [05:59] can anyone see me? [05:59] the_beav, looks like tray applet may have solved it. [06:00] interestingly i can't see partition listing on installing ubuntu netbook remix on aspire one [06:00] can anyone see me now? [06:00] acer aspire one [06:00] dewayne: see you? === Berzerker- is now known as Berzerker [06:00] the_beav, the "Network Connections" pref app just isn't very helpful. [06:00] akav, you can apt-get install wicd [06:01] akav, just an alternative, helps some people a great deal [06:01] can anyone see me now? [06:01] akav, but it won't auto start the first time, you'll have to load it from applications menu [06:01] I installed phpsysinfo using apt get whats the url to it? [06:01] df has nothing to say about a 160gb partition on the netbook [06:01] yourserver.com/phpsysinfo should be TimBB [06:02] dewayne: if you conncted we can probably see you [06:02] The requested URL /phpsysinfo was not found on this server. [06:02] well when I used the static I lost this connection to.. [06:02] dewayne, if you can see us, we can probably see u [06:02] I have been a week one this .. it is getting to me.. [06:03] I can not figure it out at all [06:03] dewayne, whats the prob [06:03] Is it at all possible to use Ubunu without Pulseaudio? [06:03] I can connect on DHCP but when I put my static IP in I can not.. I can ping the static and all that.. no internet connection [06:04] hi, there used to be emerald themes pack in synaptic ... i cant seem to find it anymore. Is it removed? [06:05] dewayne, i understand, but, how is this causing you problems? just curious [06:05] This is going to be my server.. I needthe static IP to run Moodle on it [06:05] Zaiden, at this point its very difficult and not really recommended to try and extract pulse from Ubuntu, we the users sorta have to live with it. FYI Xubuntu doesn't use pulse, i have a Playstation emulator who's sound will only work under Xubuntu. Good luck man. [06:06] dewayne: you said you had an internet connection, and could ping google [06:06] yes under DHCP not static IP [06:06] dewayne: omg [06:07] Doesn't seem like there's a Gnome Distro that doesn't use Pulse [06:07] dewayne: we were asking about when it was being faulty not when it is working [06:07] dewayne: that is rally wierd on ubunut, it's tightly integrated with Network Manager. That is one of the things i dislike on Ubuntu. [06:07] dewayne: did you put you gateway address correctly? === jacob_ is now known as falrkin [06:07] yes.. and checked it under ifconfig.. all correct [06:08] dewayne: [06:08] pm [06:12] how to look for a hard disk device if df is saying nothing about it?

OH YA, uninstall one from Repo first and you also have to logout after the new install before it seems to work? [06:22] lol, we are building a NOC and we will have six of these setups, that is if I can figure the dual monitor configuration out.

[06:25] where is the mixer button? [06:25] Blue1, ? strange i'm running 64 bit OS too? don't remember having to force the install but perhaps i did??? [06:25] 1st, click on the volume icon [06:26] yes, just did [06:26] when the volume selector opens up, at the bottom of the selector there is a button called mixer [06:26] click on that [06:26] i'm using karmic, i see no button [06:27] how does one start enlightenment after installing from svn?

I formated an external hard drive as ext3, and by default it's protected from non-root access for some reason, so I can't actually put any files onto it (for some reason it doesn't just prompt me to enter the admin pass when trying to paste...)

[06:39] indus: only shows /dev/sda1 which is the thumb drive from which i am booting the live [06:39] zykotick9: I entered that and the drive is still restricted from me.

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [06:58] Classic: No, black screen, and I see a text login, but it disappears in less than a second [06:58] vagothcpp, no idea really, the ones i used were vmware and virtual box, but not for windose 7, but xp [06:58] ranjan, http://www.howtoforge.com/working_with_the_grub_menu [06:58] What do you suggest as a good LGPL or MIT or BSD licensed library that I can use to do TripleDES encryption and decryption? === hemanth is now known as buggy [06:59] SonicFreak94, so u can even see console login? [06:59] cant [06:59] Classic: Not really [07:00] Morning everyone. How can I force `radtest' (it tests radius authentication) to use MS-CHAP2 encryption instead of sending the password in plain text? [07:00] hm... can you press ctrl+alt+f1 and see? [07:01] ranjan, Did you get that? [07:01] laeelllw [07:02] @ SonicFreak94 [07:02] Classic: No. I can go into recovery mode and select the "root" option, and I can type login from there, but I still don't get GUI [07:02] vagothcpp:: i got that i am cheaking it out [07:03] SonicFreak94, login with normal user [07:03] Classic: You mean with my account?

[07:07] http://pastebin.com/m4d166034 Can you help me a little ??? [07:08] cd installs take foreever [07:08] askogrand: click middle mouse buttton [07:08] askogrand: and move === kb is now known as Guest95216 [07:09] askogrand: if you right click, it will say if its locked, then unlock and move with middle mouse [07:09] and if I have a two buttoned mouse? [07:10] askogrand, I would suggest upgrading, but there is a key combination i think that can substitute it [07:10] askogrand, right-click, choose Move, move, left-click again to fix [07:10] Is Deluge better than Transmission? (2 torrent clients) [07:10] freaky[t], IMO, yes. [07:10] freaky[t], transmission is the best [07:10] askogrand: mac? [07:10] no, a two button microsoft mouse [07:10] askogrand, those are quite old =P [07:11] askogrand: or you can delete this time, then keep mouse where you want it, then add it to panel again, but try madpilot advice === Kravlin_ is now known as kravlin [07:11] vagothcpp, never actually knew about the middle-click-and-drag method of moving panel applets. Cool! [07:12] indus, sounds cool. thanks [07:12] Madpilot, wasnt my suggestions, cause nore did i [07:12] askogrand: write to microsoft and ask them for a third button :D [07:12] indus, ya, ill make sure to tell em I need for my linux install [07:13] hm ok [07:13] USB install of ubuntu is <2minutes not including formatting, CD install is 1 year, 4 days and 3 hours [07:13] Madpilot, vagothcpp thank you :) [07:14] classic: It told me to use another command, "service gdm start". I did that, and it said "gdm start/running", and it showed the process ID (I think) === banisterfiend is now known as banister`garden [07:17] Classic: It told me to use another command, "service gdm start". I did that, and it said "gdm start/running", and it showed the process ID (I think), but it didn't tell me whether it was previously running or anything, and I still have no GUI =( [07:17] so when will Gnome fix its panels functionality? [07:17] Hi, I'm trying to restore grub from a partition using grub2 (a 64 bits os). Which livecd would be best for me? I have kubuntu 8.04 right now and it doesn't seem to like my other brug :( [07:18] !gedit [07:18] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [07:18] elik: Any liveCD with Ubuntu 9.04 or earlier will work (GRUB1) [07:19] elik: Oh, wait. You're trying to install GRUB2? [07:19] no no no === richard is now known as Guest80726 === Guest80726 is now known as richard__ [07:19] guys, anyone knows where gedit stored? I need it for Greasemonkey [07:20] isolat3dsh33p: `which gedit` [07:20] Flannel, I have grub2 already installed [07:20] i got very long output from a command in xfce4-terminal. when i scroll upwards, i cannot reach its beginning, it's not stored by the terminal, probably. is there a log somewhere where i can access it? [07:20] isolat3dsh33p: /usr/bin/gedit [07:20] To those whom use GRUB2 to edit their TTY resolution successfully, I wasn't able to get a new resolution. I have set "GRUB_GFXMODE=1680x1050" in /etc/default/grub and ran "sudo update-grub" It looks same. Any suggestions? [07:20] Flannel, but it got replaced by windows's MBR, I'm trying to recover it [07:20] rww, thanks [07:20] elik: Right, you want to use 9.10 to restore it. It has GRUB2 on it. [07:20] leaf-sheep: that option only changes the resolution of GRUB2's menu, not the TTY itself. If you figure out how to do the latter, I'd be interested in hearing it :) [07:20] hey [07:21] any of you know anything about pure-ftpd? [07:21] * rww has been pondering the same thing [07:21] :o [07:21] rww: What a sloth. :) [07:21] http://pastebin.com/m4d166034 Can you help me a little to config my .conkyrc file for conky ??? problems 3 and 4 still are to solve ... [07:21] leaf-sheep: I'm efficient! [07:21] Flannel, ok, great. And is there a resource on how I should do that? It seems like grub changed quite a lot since grub1, and things such as find /boot/grub/stage1 won't work anymore [07:22] SonicFreak94, so any gui? [07:22] spiky25: http://saethr.ath.cx/files.html [07:22] Flannel, is it as simple as root (hd...) and setup (hd...) ? [07:22] Classic: No =( [07:22] !grub2 | elik [07:22] elik: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [07:22] SonicFreak94, no idea, but try that post i gave you anyways, maybe it will work, because no idea what else you could do [07:22] elik: I don't know, I haven't updated my brain with GRUB2 info yet [07:23] saethr I don't need that [07:23] OK [07:23] elik, grub2 recovery is totally different -- read the grub2 link from ubottu! [07:23] ZykoticK9, Flannel, or could I install grub1 with the current live cd and restore from within my original os? [07:23] ZykoticK9, reading for sure :) [07:23] elik: No, that won't work [07:23] leaf-sheep: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7952204&postcount=11 , perhaps? [07:24] rww: I was reading the same thing! +1! [07:24] ZykoticK9, Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD, what a handy section name. How could google not find it :D Thanks [07:24] leaf-sheep: post #17 might work too [07:24] leaf-sheep: you wanna test it or shall I? [07:25] rww: I'll test it. [07:25] ZykoticK9, oh, right, the chroot method. I knew about that, but was trying to get around because my normal OS is 64 bits and the live cd is 32 bits :( [07:26] leaf-sheep: alright. I volunteer to update the wiki documentation if it works, then :) [07:26] ZykoticK9, so when you come to execute /bin/bash with the chroot, doesn't like that so much [07:26] rww: You're welcome to cite me on my word. :D [07:26] any terminal that supports unicode ? like umlauts and s*it ? [07:26] rww: Be back in a jiffy! [07:27] elik, ya - i certainly hadn't even really thought about the 32/64bit thing - but i guess that could be an issue... [07:27] ZykoticK9, didn't think about it in the first place either :) Was mad at chroot [07:29] I wish it was not so freaking hard to get 64 bit version from the web site o.O === kb is now known as Guest95374 [07:30] elik, where are you trying to download from [07:30] elik: umm, it's not? ubuntu.com -> Download Ubuntu -> Alternative download options -> 64-bit version... [07:30] hwilde, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [07:31] rww, didn't see it fold, and once it's fold, it's hard to see that it unfolds, thanks :) [07:31] [07:31] dg= [07:31] elik, which mirror are you using ? [07:32] hwilde, canada's [07:32] hwilde, it's just that it folds it by default, so I didn't see the option for changing what I was going to download [07:33] elik, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors [07:33] elik, where in canada? [07:33] univ of calgary close enough? http://mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/mirror/ubuntu.com/releases/9.10/ [07:34] Sherbrooke [07:34] Gulus would have been awesome... if it was still up :( === kb is now known as Guest52216 [07:34] hwilde, anyway, the file is on its way [07:35] hwilde, thanks [07:35] http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu-releases/9.10/ [07:35] elik, what is your download speed [07:36] rww: :\ [07:36] hwilde, google chrome has this nice way of hiding that unimportant information -_- [07:36] elik, why aren't you using bittorrent [07:36] over 2MB/s there [07:36] rww: I'm using encrypted lvm system. I wonder if that had to do something with it. Didn't work for me. [07:36] hwilde, I doubt uwaterloo would do better though, their mirror is sucky [07:36] hwilde, I'm giving myself some time, gotta study anyway :D [07:37] leaf-sheep: hmm. I'll go try it [07:38] How do I install the drivers for my brother MFC 5840CN all in one printer [07:39] any other UNICODE terminal for dutch language for example ... ? [07:39] http://pastebin.com/m4d166034 I need a conky specialist !!! problem 3 is solved but I wanted to see both interfaces in one ... The final result is shown on the website down of my pastebin as comment code stating my problems ... [07:40] Well, I just got an education on md5sums...Three seperate checks using sudo if=/dev/cdrom | md5sum failed, I checked all over only to boot from the CD, run the integrity check and have it tell me that the CD was just fine...:/ [07:40] Morning everyone. How can I force `radtest' (it tests radius authentication) to use MS-CHAP2 encryption instead of sending the password in plain text? [07:41] elik, sure enough 32bit live cd gives error on the "sudo chroot /mnt" step on 64bit systems "... `/bin/bash`: Exec format error" [07:41] Can someone tell me how to install the drivers for my MFC 5840 CN all in one printer? [07:42] ZykoticK9, sure does [07:42] ZykoticK9, could it reinstall grub though? [07:42] (if I had grub1, of course) [07:43] elik, oh it mounted! i'll continue grub2 reinstall and see if it works [07:43] greezmunkey, you can't use sudo and then a pipe "|", it won't work [07:44] ZykoticK9, you are in the process of recovering grub2 too? [07:45] ZykoticK9, dude...you're killin' me seriously? hehe someone here told me that's how...sometimes free tech support is worth just that! [07:45] elik, it mount's but it doesn't chroot - so i can't go any further [07:45] ZykoticK9, right, I'm at that point too, downloading x64 live cd :) [07:46] greezmunkey, i'm afraid the command you got was sorta incorrect. if you do need to use sudo and a PIPE, you can use the tee command instead (not applicable here) [07:47] rww: Well? ;o [07:47] leaf-sheep: didn't work for me. in fact, it broke my ctrl-alt-f# completely :( [07:47] ZykoticK9, I also ran "md5sum /dev/cdrom" like it said in the burning howto, but that also failed. In the end, the CD seems to be fine, so no worries! [07:48] ZykoticK9, or I could have written the output into a file, and then read that file into the second command manuall I guess... [07:48] rww: This is terrible. I liked "vga=ask" thing. It was simple. [07:48] leaf-sheep: me too [07:48] rww, leaf-sheep: that was just a kernel parameter, not a GRUB anything. [07:48] Flannel: and now it doesn't work. [07:49] Flannel: and the only replacement I can find is that GRUB thing that also doesn't work :( [07:49] greezmunkey, "written the output into a file" <- that would be called an ISO (which can be created by using "cat" and outputting to a file as you said) which is probably what you started with. [07:51] ZykoticK9, heh you're right!, I could read the contents of the burnt cd back onto the HDD, then checksum it again, brilliant! [07:52] ZykoticK9, course, if there was a read error I wouldn't know if it was the CD, or the reading it back to the HDD would I? [07:52] hi, im looking for an open source alternative for internet cafe management software, which one would be best for most situations and also reliable? [07:53] leaf-sheep: hmm. I'm gonna go try some other things. I'll let you know if anything works. [07:53] rww: Ditto. ;o [07:54] rww, leaf-sheep: you need `insmod vbe` [07:54] dnscstudent, so would that involve renting computer time? === deep_thought is now known as Jehovah [07:55] greezmunkey: yes, should also support features such as time consumed, locking wokstations, sending messages etc. [07:55] greezmunkey: what sofware would you recommend? [07:56] dnscstudent, so have you looked for nonfree alternatives? [07:57] greezmunkey: i prefer FOSS specifically for ubuntu [07:57] hi everyone, im trying to get my ati drivers installed, however when i open up System>Administrator>Hardware Drivers, there are no drivers listed. Any ideas? [07:58] I am having trouble with Samba. I can access Windows shares easily, but I cannot access Samba shares from Windows machines. I have tried Start>Run>\\computername\sharename and also \\192.168.0.2\sharename and nothing. When I do a findsmb it shows nothing. Please can someone help me. I have done a "ufw allow samba" and it shows up as a rule. Please can someone help me!!! [07:59] greezmunkey: Samba still not working. [07:59] rww, leaf-sheep: you need `insmod vbe` http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=73263 [07:59] Ascavasaion: can you ping to that machine? [07:59] dnscstudent: Yes. [07:59] Ascavasaion: at both ends? [08:00] dnscstudent: Yes. [08:00] Flannel: I just got it to work by adding vesafb to /etc/modules + doing the steps in that forum thread [08:00] Flannel: I wonder which way is better... [08:00] Ascavasaion: the problem is accessing the ubuntu shares from windows? right? [08:00] Ascavasaion, I was hoping that you would be here, you far did you get? [08:00] be right back... going to move this computer next to the other one so we can try to sort it out together. [08:00] dnscstudent: Yes. [08:01] Ascavasaion, did you happen to run smbpasswd -a (username) ? [08:01] Ascavasaion: can you try setting the iptables rules to default? [08:02] Flannel: ah, looks like my grub config already had `insmod vbe' in it [08:02] greezmunkey: YEs. [08:02] Ascavasaion, I have a working smb.conf if you want it. [08:02] dnscstudent: I do not know how. [08:02] greezmunkey: Sure. [08:04] leaf-sheep: adding vesafb to /etc/modules and following the instructions in that forum thread works for me [08:04] Ascavasaion: the windows account should be added to samba users in ubuntu machine thru smbpasswd -a [08:04] dnscstudent: I did that. [08:04] It asked for new password and I typed in the existing password. [08:04] Ascavasaion, http://paste.ubuntu.com/312698/ [08:05] Ascavasaion, There are a few other things you need to check as well... [08:06] rww: I'll try it. [08:06] are replaygain tags still only supported in id3v2 and not APEv2? [08:06] Ascavasaion: from the windows machine verify by telnet to ubuntu machine using port 445, 137-139 [08:06] rww: Wait... Linkz. [08:06] lagggggggg [08:06] Ascavasaion : how to upgrading ubuntu 7.04 to 9.10 [08:06] Ayhee: Do a clean installation. [08:06] Ascavasaion: just to verify if the ubuntu machine accepts netbios connection from the outside world [08:07] leaf-sheep: for the Ubuntu Forums thread? http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=4d3185b17ae5b8421de9e2f1f15284ac&p=8024427&postcount=17 === kj4_away is now known as kj4 [08:07] !upgrade | Ayhee [08:07] Ayhee: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [08:07] i have tried to type apt-get upgrade [08:07] Ascavasaion, still here? [08:07] but nothing happen [08:08] greezmunkey: busy checking those things. [08:08] is there a shell command that will print the mountpoint of the filesystem containing a given file [08:08] ? [08:08] greezmunkey: Blank post. [08:09] i could do it by munging df output, i suppose... [08:09] Ascavasaion: from windows machine you would do in command prompt telnet 445 [08:09] how to change the proxy for the system in the shell ? [08:09] Ayhee: specifically, you'd need to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Feisty then https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Gutsy , which would get you to Hardy, which is a supported release, then upgrade Hardy to Intrepid, then Jaunty, then Karmic, using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes . This process is not supported, and I recommend you reinstall and avoid using releases that are End of Lifed in the future. [08:10] Ascavasaion, there are a couple of things I did for security that you need to know. Wha, hold on...http://paste.ubuntu.com/312698/ [08:10] conenction refused on port 445 [08:10] vasi: I saw a python script that can help: http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/4686/fid/245 [08:11] rww: The "insmod vbe" line? [08:11] Ascavasaion: was that the response of telnet from the ubuntu machine? [08:11] leaf-sheep: what about it? [08:11] dreamnid: interesting, thanks [08:12] rww: You said you added vesafb to /etc/modules as instructed on the forums. [08:12] greezmunkey: I'd be interested in that smb.conf file if you could paste it. :) [08:12] leaf-sheep: no, I added vesafb to /etc/modules /and/ did the stuff on the forums [08:12] dnscstudent: Conenction refused [08:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/312698/ [08:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/312698/ [08:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/312698/ [08:12] dnscstudent: Unable to open connection. [08:12] oops! [08:13] greezmunkey: That one says test2 [08:13] Ascavasaion: how about on port 139? [08:13] Anybody noticed that the Scale plugin for Compiz slows down (only) when Firefox is open? [08:14] dnscstudent: 445, 137, 138 and 139 all refused. [08:14] ksonnad: It's probably your graphics driver being slow [08:14] Ascavasaion: then probably the ubuntu machine do not listen to these ports? [08:14] Works perfectly with any number of windows, but if I have even ONE Firefox window open, it stutters. [08:15] Ascavasaion: try sudo netstat -pantu | grep 445 [08:15] Ascavasaion: let's see if 445 listens.. [08:15] soreau: Works perfectly with any number of windows, but if I have even ONE Firefox window open, it stutters. [08:16] dnscstudent: Nothing when I do thta netstat line [08:16] Ascavasaion: try sudo netstat -pantu [08:16] does anyone know of an mp3 replaygain tagger that uses id3v2 tags and not APEv2 like mp3gain does [08:17] Ascavasaion: then consult if there entries for 445 138 139 [08:17] Ascavasaion: can you pastebin the output of sudo netstat -pantu [08:17] dnscstudent: Yes, all four ports have entries there === VanDyke_ is now known as VanDyke === digitalfiz__ is now known as digitalfiz [08:18] Ascavasaion: and also the output of sudo iptables -L [08:18] try this...http://paste.ubuntu.com/322225/ [08:20] dnscstudent: What am I looking for there? [08:20] greezmunkey: Thanks, I'll compare to mine to see what I'm missing. [08:21] powertool08, mine is pretty simple, the homes section works, but only after running smbpasswd to add the users, and the "/Shared" dir is read only. [08:22] powertool08, It's been years since I have fooled with Linux, so that setup is a dry run for the server PC I'll be setting up this weekend. [08:23] dnscstudent: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/322234/ [08:23] Hi. I'd like to update my Skype to the 2.1 version. I have the skype repository listed, but when I run apt-get update, I get lines like "Ign http://download.skype.com stable Release.gpg", and no updates are listed. [08:23] greezmunkey: Stupid question here. There is absolutely no way to use samba without having ports 139/445 open correct? With all the samba/rpc exploits which come out fairly often I'm hesitant to leave these open. [08:24] Ascavasaion, yikes! whay do you need all of that? [08:25] greezmunkey: Pidgin is opening most of them hehe [08:25] greezmunkey: afaik, the only defenses are filtering with iptables to allow expected lan hosts, and firewalling the wan connection to block all netbios type traffic. Any other/better ways to secure? [08:26] powertool08, I thought netbios was a non routeable protocol...or is that the other one? [08:27] net something [08:27] greezmunkey: I'm not sure. I just feel like I'm opening myself up to insecurities of windows when I have samba running. [08:28] * Ascavasaion realised that he is never going to actually get Samba working is he? [08:28] powertool08, about all you have to worry about are other users on your LAN, but you can secure against that too. [08:28] Ascavasaion: Don't say that, I have it working in a crippled state. [08:28] is there a how-to on purging pulse and reinstalling alsa? [08:29] Ascavasaion, What is the situation with the samba server, is this to be a production box, or just for home use? [08:29] Hi what is the command for installing xubuntu on 9.10 [08:29] powertool08: I have been crippled in trying to fix it. Either I am the dumbest person ever, or Samba is flawed. [08:29] greezmunkey: Easier said than done... I have better computing habits than the infested machines which are sometimes connected (friends/family) [08:29] how do I uninstall software that was installed from source [08:30] greezmunkey: Home use... want to listen to music on an old Windows machine which is getting the music off this computer (the Linux box) [08:30] rubydiamond: Look into 'check install' and next time it will uninstall through the pkg manager. [08:31] Ascavasaion: Like myself, you probably just need to spend some more time with it. [08:31] Ascavasaion, so you want the Winbox to play the files stored on you Linbox, like over the LAN? [08:31] powertool08: what is check install [08:31] greezmunkey: Exactly. [08:31] Ascavasaion, what old Winbox? [08:32] rww: I'm sad. :( [08:32] rubydiamond: Its a program which you use in conjuction with installing from source, it makes it install like a package so its easy to remove. [08:32] greezmunkey: Windows 98 machine. [08:32] I just suddenly lost all stereo sound after a crash. I have only ac3 and dts sound. Nothing is muted.

[09:35] no one able to help me? :( [09:35] rww - oh, a bot [09:35] ive been throught this with blender ppl already [09:35] rww, display 7 still has a gui [09:35] txt frm portugues to english [09:35] jongbergs: gnome [09:35] it seems its ubuntu [09:35] lol [09:35] пиздец [09:35] yeah i completely uninstalled it [09:35] anarcap: indeed :) [09:35] slaw send the blender people in. every other application is working fine. [09:35] and it doesnt work with the standalone one either [09:35] !translate [09:35] Translate Ubuntu into your own language, important translations that are needed are listed first. See https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ [09:36] S1aw, do you have the option to select output device, or driver in blender's prefs? [09:36] rebel_kid: then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop should work [09:36] you do in the new blender [09:36] slaw did you read these: [09:36] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blender/+bug/44131 [09:36] but not the stable one [09:36] greez??? [09:36] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blender/+bug/401145 [09:36] rww - I'm running flash already, it's installed (the non-free version from the repository), but doesn't work well. I get tearing. [09:36] Ascavasaion: does your samba problem working right now? [09:36] what happened to greez? [09:36] anarcap: that's likely a problem with your video drivers, not flash itself [09:37] jongbergs: that command used to work in 8.10 now it just gives me information about service and stop commands, no matter how i attempt to stop gdm (init.d or service) i still have a graphical interface when i switch back to display 7 [09:38] rebel_kid: A dirty way of doing it but sudo kill -9 Xorg [09:38] slaw - blender uses SDL sound so maybe try adding SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa in /etc/environment and rebooting? [09:38] powertool08: i considered that... guess the xserver is already hosed so who cares at this point [09:38] rebel_kid: what output do you get when you issue "sudo service gdm stop"? You should get something like "gdm stop/waiting". [09:38] rww: that is exactly what i get [09:38] does that change it to use alsa as sound server? [09:38] anyone able to help get the graphics going on a dell mini 10? [09:38] rww: then display 7 still displays a pretty little interface [09:38] rww - but all other video plays fine, no tearing. I figured it was flash. [09:39] anyone seen greezmonkey? [09:39] Ascavasaion, here [09:39] Ascavasaion, did you get it to open? [09:39] anarcap: ah, perhaps, then. I used to have problems until newer version of my video drivers, perhaps you have a different issue [09:39] aaaah, welcome back greezmunkey [09:39] slaw what sound server are you using? [09:39] rebel_kid: interesting. What's the output of "ps -A | grep gdm"? [09:39] greezmunkey: I clicked system>Administration>users [09:40] rebel_kid: assuming you want to troubleshoot it and don't just want it gone. If you just want it gone, killing it should do that ;) [09:40] Ascavasaion, are you in there now? [09:40] greezmunkey: Yes, I authenticated. [09:40] I need some testers to test out my lattest project, Who wants to help? :) [09:40] Ascavasaion, go to manage groups [09:40] its a clean install of 9.10 so i think its pulse [09:40] greezmunkey: and then? [09:40] rww - you had a problem with just flash, and it was your video card drivers? [09:41] Ascavasaion, add a group called nobody [09:41] rww: nothing at all [09:41] rww: at this point i would settle for it gone [09:41] Ascavasaion, once it's there add joel to it [09:41] 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)" [09:41] greezmunkey: and then? [09:41] does anyone have an idea what i should do now? [09:41] Ascavasaion, did you add user joel to it? [09:41] rebel_kid: well, "sudo pkill Xorg" should do that [09:42] greezmunkey: Nobody, ID = 1002, and I added Joel to it. [09:42] greezmunkey: yes [09:42] is there any way i can upgarde to a different distribution [09:42] rww: thank you [09:42] rebootin brb [09:43] hello, when installing ubuntu it used to create a swap, but now it just does a use full disk by default, is there any advantage of making a 4GB swap if you have 4GB of ram, and also any advantage of making a 250mb /boot/ partition at the beginning of the disk so it loads faster? [09:43] Concretesledge: specifically from what to what? [09:43] Morning [09:43] Ascavasaion, in a term, go to your home directory [09:43] from ubuntu karmic koala, to 7evenOS [09:43] anyone have an experience with nvidia cards not going above 640x480 after upgrading to 9.10? [09:44] Lord-Readman, yes there is an advantage [09:44] rww its really nice, it uses karmic sources.. [09:44] slaw - I'll need to do some reading about sound in linux and 9.10 before I can help you. [09:44] rebel_kid: you probably have vesa driver in use, try nvidia driver [09:44] Rebe;_kid:you probably need to get the drivers. [09:44] anyone able to help get the graphics going on a dell mini 10? [09:44] b3rz3rk3r, to the swap? or the /boot/ or both? [09:44] greezmunkey: I am in my home directory. [09:44] slaw - maybe ask one of the other lads or lasses in here if they can help you now. sorry. [09:44] Lord-Readman: If you want to use hibernation, you need a swap size equal to or larger than the memory in use, so it's advisable to create a swap partition a little bigger than your system memory if you need it. [09:44] I have my laptop plugged into my tv right now with hdmi. I am using ubuntu 9.10 how do I get it working? [09:44] Concretesledge: You'd want to ask them about it. We don't support Ubuntu derivatives here. [09:44] Lord-Readman, most people seem to agree that a swap just slightly larger than your installed RAM is the best idea [09:44] simplexio: i have installed the nivida driver with the restricted driver installer, no affect, i have also used nvidias install script from their page. again no affect [09:44] Concretesledge: s/Ubuntu/unofficial Ubuntu/ [09:44] I've found pulseaudio periodically crashes and I need to reboot to sort the problem - pulseaudio will not restart and the PulseAudio Device Choser fails to connect. Is there a less Windows-y solution than the 3-finger-salute? [09:45] rww ok. thank you [09:45] Ascavasaion, sudo chgrp -hR nobody Music [09:45] Oh, yes, running ibex. [09:45] Lord-Readman, mainly to due with performace and saving, i dont think that it would assist with boot too much [09:45] ok, so if i did 5000mb for 4096mb of ram, that would be fine, what about doing 250mb for /boot/ and putting it at the beginning of the disk? [09:45] Ascavasaion, make sure that you type in the proper directory name for music [09:45] lord-re [09:46] yes? [09:46] Lord-Readman: I do that for /boot/, but it's unlikely to make a noticible speed difference. [09:46] Lord-Readman, yes that would be fine. as for boot, im really not too sure if that would actually ame diference [09:46] i still got the same error with blender [09:46] make* [09:46] I have my laptop plugged into my tv right now with hdmi. I am using ubuntu 9.10 how do I get it working? [09:46] i think ill try changing sound server to oss [09:46] what if I put /boot/ on a usb flash stick, ? [09:46] and leave it plugged in all the time [09:46] hi i installed ubuntu and has own grub after that i install debian and debian grub show when system come up . i put ubuntu live and fix grub oh hd0,0 ( while debian installed on hd0,3 ) and i got Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0,0) /boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/menu.lst "... succeeded but when i restart i see debian boot grub again not ubuntu boot grub what's wrong ? ( im in ubuntu live now ) [09:47] greezmunkey: I did that. === Julia is now known as Guest58606 [09:47] Hello [09:47] bonjour [09:47] I have my laptop plugged into my tv right now with hdmi. I am using ubuntu 9.10 how do I get it working? [09:48] Would I lose any performance by installing 32-bit ubuntu on my 64-bit Intel HP? Does the 64-bit really make a difference? [09:48] rww, b3rz3rk3r what do you think to putting /boot/ on a small usb pen drive? then it will have flash speeds? [09:48] Question, is there a way to transfer files from ubuntu pc to windows pc through internet? some software perhaps if anyone knows [09:48] Lord-Readman: USB drives are slower than hard disks [09:48] Ascavasaion, in your smb.conf file remove the [Shared] section entirely for now, and then restart samba [09:49] were: several ways [09:49] Ascavasaion, you there? [09:49] I have my laptop plugged into my tv right now with hdmi. I am using ubuntu 9.10 how do I get it working? [09:49] I have my laptop plugged into my tv right now with hdmi. I am using ubuntu 9.10 how do I get it working? [09:49] I have my laptop plugged into my tv right now with hdmi. I am using ubuntu 9.10 how do I get it working? [09:49] Lord-Readman, iv never tried that, but USB drives are usually slower read times than normal HDD [09:49] plustax: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:49] were: sftp, samba? [09:49] were: samba shares, tftp server on one, client on the other, netcat, i'm sure there are many more [09:49] ah ok [09:49] Lord-Readman: additionally, you appear to be overestimating the amount of time it takes to load the contents of /boot/ into memory. It really doesn't take that long, so you're not going to save much time by optimizing it. [09:49] Lord-Readman, you are better off getting yourself a 10,000rpm HDD, or a nice SDD [09:49] greezmunkey: be right back. [09:50] thanks for your help!

[12:30] mrXX, did you download the alternate install cd or the normal desktop cd? [12:30] mrXX, install "gnome-alsamixer" [12:30] Pichi: you will be more satisfied with the performance. [12:31] koston what is the terminal code to install it? [12:31] guys, how can i enable the desktop effect that lets me move a window by just pushing it to the side? [12:31] histo, xubuntu isn't much lighter then ubuntu anymore [12:31] koston i already have the alsamixer in mine [12:31] Pichi: if you have ubuntu installed you can install xubuntu-desktop for lighter versions of the apps you have [12:31] Halitech: sure it is. Xfce compaired to gnome is still a huge difference. [12:31] i'LL PLY MORE WITH THE LIVCE CD FIRST [12:31] mrXX, sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer. you could use synaptic.

[12:32] Hiram: check-install will do that. [12:32] histo, XFCE is lighter then Gnome but Xubuntu includes alot of things Ubuntu has so the full desktop isn't much lighter, doing a minimal install of XFCE will be lighter but not Xubuntu [12:33] Hiram: sry package is checkinstall [12:33] when I upgraded to 9.1 my partitions were renamed and their mount points messed up because of it can I use gparted and renamed them back to what they were without loosing data [12:33] Pichi, with the Live CD you need 384 meg of ram to get it to run decently, not sure if it will even run on 256 [12:33] !label | U-b-u-n-t-u [12:33] U-b-u-n-t-u: To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive.

[12:34] U-b-u-n-t-u: you shouldnt [12:34] Hmm 9.10 dosent rename the filesystems. it just mounts them using the UUID i think as their name - if theres no label. instead of 'disk' and 'disk1' and so forth [12:34] ty [12:34] argh I'm getting ~40/70 signal strength on my ath5k but random performance. sometimes it's fast, sometimes its slow.. [12:34] Hiram: to use it you just run the ./configure and the make but you use checkinstall instead of install. It creates a deb for it. it will walk you through the creation of the deb like naming it etc... [12:35] koston it is strange, if i increase my mic's volume to max, i can hear a clock tick in my pc!!!

My only options now are to mute the sound or use headphones; what can I do about this? I just need to mute the mic. Clicking 'mute' makes the meter show nothing, but the sound still comes through... [12:38] kostkon ya still 0 input [12:38] Yep, that's a good one to check too! [12:39] kostkon i have an acer 6350G [12:39] zwamkat, iunno lemme check [12:39] mrXX, did you increase any input volume in alsamixer? in alsamixer, select edit → prefs, if there's such an option === matthew is now known as Guest525 [12:40] kostkon i have increased all the volumes [12:40] kostkon how do i know which audio recording device i have?

[12:46] i did, no effect, only ticking sound heard lol [12:46] is it a good idea to install madwifi? [12:47] isolat3dsh33p, it depends... [12:47] isolat3dsh33p: if your device needs it, yes [12:47] i'm having a error when i try to mount my partition "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: [12:47] Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE [12:47] library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated [12:47] FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at [12:47] http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged" this error appear when i try to automount my partition with fstab but when a leave it from fstab i had to enter the password to mount it , and i wish automount it like before :) [12:47] adiba1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:47] Okayyy. I have some more gripes about gedit. How do I make it remember my tabs from before? [12:48] And add custom thingies to the syntax highlighting [12:48] ActionParsnip, my network adapter is atheros ar928x, how do i know that my computer needs it? [12:48] hi [12:48] sadsad [12:48] isolat3dsh33p: websearches m'boy [12:48] isolat3dsh33p, well, if ath5k works well already [12:48] and hopefully make it run shit for me like Notepad++ used to do. I had that set up so that when I hit alt-space it checked that I'd used the correct Lua syntax in the open document [12:48] Is "default route" broken in 9.04? [12:48] Because that was reaaaaly useful [12:48] isolat3dsh33p: if you run: sudo lshw -C network and use the product line in websearches, you will find guides [12:49] isolat3dsh33p, not much point in trying madwifi [12:49] Ziber: no, its needed [12:50] spongebob, its just I hate to refresh multiple time to view a webpage. My wireless connection is so unstable [12:50] ActionParsnip: ? [12:50] I'm talking IPv6. [12:51] Ziber: well you didn't mention that did you? [12:51] isolat3dsh33p, hmm... nm-applet? I used to get disconnected often with that, so I tried wicd. [12:51] ActionParsnip: just did. sorry, im only thinking in ipv6. kinda cant assume anyone else is. [12:51] !nm-applett [12:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about nm-applett [12:51] !nm-applet [12:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about nm-applet [12:52] Ziber: assume makes an ASS out of U and ME [12:52] spongebob, what's nm-applet and wicd? [12:52] isolat3dsh33p, let me check what's the name... [12:52] And being an ass and now not answering my question, now that is clarrified, makes an ass out of you and you. [12:52] network-manager and a wireless manager? [12:52] spongebob, thanks [12:52] !ipv6 [12:52] For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [12:52] !default-route [12:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about default-route [12:53] :( [12:53] !defaultroute [12:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about defaultroute [12:53] Ziber: i'd look into man route I've not used IPv6 but route may handle it [12:53] I dont see how nm applet or wicd would affect wireless dropping connections.. they are front ends to the network configs. But i may be missing somthing [12:53] !route [12:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about route [12:53] ActionParsnip: Well, its working now, that I'm routing via 2000::/3 instead of ::/0 (default). [12:53] Ziber: http://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/questions/468/Adding+IPv6+to+Ubuntu+systems [12:53] isolat3dsh33p, the package name is gnome-network-manager... it's the default network manager that comes with ubuntu. wicd is an alternative [12:54] Ok this is annoying. Right-click isn't working on my mouse, while middle click barely is. :( Halp [12:54] spongebob: isolat3dsh33p: as is wifi-radar [12:54] (Ububtu Netbook Remix 9.10, Logitech Nano) [12:54] spongebob, i'll do more research. Thanks for the recommendation :D [12:54] ActionParsnip, thanks :D [12:54] isolat3dsh33p, np :) [12:54] spongebob: love your nick :) [12:54] ActionParsnip, and manually setting it in /e/n/i? lol [12:55] Boohbah, thanks? haha === nozes_ is now known as nozes [12:55] spongebob: thats the way i do it [12:55] good morning all [12:55] !hi | Boohbah [12:55] Boohbah: 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! [12:55] I am using broadcom wifi card and Ubuntu karmic. I just installed it and wifi is not working. [12:56] I have Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g [12:56] hey guys, I have a problem with xubuntu, compiz and my panel can anyone help? [12:56] what should I do? [12:56] ActionParsnip, It takes longer than click>click>type password>connect... esp if you're on the move :) [12:56] ThistleWeb: can you expand please [12:56] spongebob: i just prefer it, i find it quicker, plus I dont have to run nm needlessly [12:57] spongebob: its good for low level users though [12:57] hallo schönen tag allerseits! hab n kleines problem: nutze fluxbox und will nicht dass der gnome-power-manager läuft, wie kann ich den deaktivieren? [12:57] has anyone had their acer mic working in ubuntu? [12:57] ActionParsnip, to each his own :) [12:57] oh sorry [12:57] spongebob: indeed [12:57] i can help u [12:57] this is the english forum i see [12:57] ActionParsnip: sure, when I lock in, my xfce panel loads first, then compiz, but when compiz loads, my icons in the notification area dont appear. I have to restart my xfce panel after that to see them. I can't get that to stay across reboots [12:57] ashish is that 4 me? [12:57] yeap [12:58] !who [12:58] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [12:58] ashish thanks, appreciate it, - i dont get the mic input level at all [12:58] ThistleWeb, an empty system tray or no sys tray at all? [12:58] ThistleWeb: i'd ask in #compiz compiz is great at screwing stuff up unless you get it really well setup [12:59] spoilt: the tray is there, exaile etc responds as if the icons are there, but they're invisible until I restart my panel [12:59] spongebob: tab completion error sorry [13:00] hmm... odd. compiz only? [13:00] I looked at the startup options to try and get compiz to start first, but it seems to make no difference [13:01] is it a lower number starting first or a higher number in the priority order? [13:01] ok, I really think my ISP is the problem, not my wifi card. :( [13:01] I tried at both ends but no difference [13:01] for init.d lower number has higher priority [13:01] ThistleWeb, I think it's top to bottom. [13:02] best and light torrent client ? [13:02] I liked deluge (much like uTorrent), but it doesnt support magnet links [13:02] heya. I'm trying to connect to a hidden wireless, but when I fill out the details such as password and IP, and select the newly created connection from the list, the option to connect is grayed out. Why is this happening? I know I've got correct settings. [13:02] k, all my other xfce stuff is at 40, compiz was at 50 when I started trying that [13:02] gionnico: depends on what features you need. Ive never used magnet so no idea on that [13:03] hello, before install, Ubuntu have a lot of software in x86_64 ? or it's better to stay in x86_32 ? [13:03] !tab [13:03] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [13:03] hi [13:03] Do we have sound themes for ubuntu ? i can't find them anywhere [13:03] gionnico, ktorrent :lol: Its got features that shouldn't be in a torrent program. it just doesn't have a "start minimized to tray" option. [13:03] i have a problem with virt-manager [13:04] ThistleWeb, sorry, I don't know why [13:04] TCP/IP error: VNC connection to hypervisor host got refused or disconnected! [13:04] Kikela, that depends on your hw [13:04] spongebob: thats fine, I'll try compiz later [13:04] ty anyway [13:04] <^c|0ud^> is there an application for ubuntu to assignment specific applications to run in a certain workspace? [13:04] spongebob: so ktorrent you say complete and light? [13:04] darksector, I think /usr/share/sounds [13:05] spongebob: no i meant sound themes installable themes not the directory where they are installed [13:05] Torllan, my hardware it's a x64 Core 2 Duo, but if you have only the system in x64 and no software, it's better to stay in x32 [13:06] gionnico: i use ktorrent. Is got more features then most torrent clients. but its also a kde4 app. so it will not be 'lite' [13:06] gionnico, depends... it depends on some kde stuff I think, 12m memory usage right now. [13:06] how do you show the userlist in XChat for GNOME? [13:06] Kikela, true, but it would've been better not to get x64 hw to start with then... [13:06] ktorrent is not working on private tracker e.g bitsoup [13:06] Dr_Willis, spongebob .. well i'm on eee-pc 701 [13:06] celeron 630MHz [13:06] darksector, well, I saw an installable sound theme from the nanami madobe pack, but I haven't tried installing it. [13:06] anyway, 32bit programs are runnable in x64 env [13:06] Mac8a: it is hidden by default, you need to click and expand it. should be on the right side of the client [13:06] bradpitt, use anyother client. and private tracker might be down === nonama is now known as husinjalal [13:07] Mac8a: click on bootom left where it says 1430 Users [13:07] Hi [13:07] gionnico, not sure if ktorrent would be good then. I haven't tried it on that hardware yet. [13:07] What exactly does Wubi do, will it partition my drive? [13:08] PIZZATASTEGOOD, nope [13:08] spongebob: what about transmission? [13:08] PIZZATASTEGOOD: it does not make partitions. it installs ubuntu into a 'file' on the windows drive. [13:08] it's gtk.. [13:08] then? [13:08] PIZZATASTEGOOD: no, it will create a file inside your windows filesystem which will *behave* as a partition [13:08] PIZZATASTEGOOD, it just makes a disk image [13:08] PIZZATASTEGOOD: i reccomend using a normal way to install ubuntu. [13:08] PIZZATASTEGOOD: not using wubi to insstall ubuntu 'under/inside' windows [13:08] How do I use update-manager behind a proxy? [13:09] (Jaunty to upgrade to Karmic) [13:09] <^c|0ud^> is there an application for ubuntu to assignment specific applications to run in a certain workspace? [13:09] so if i delete the file, everything will be normal again? [13:09] PIZZATASTEGOOD: you would use the normal add/remove programs feature of windows to 'remove' ubuntu. === i is now known as Guest71795 [13:09] just set the proxy address [13:09] Torllan, what i mean it's you need x64 & x32 library like for skype, no ? [13:09] !wubi | PIZZATASTEGOOD [13:09] husinjalal: I wouldn't ask if it worked. [13:09] PIZZATASTEGOOD: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [13:10] PIZZATASTEGOOD: if you want to just test out ubuntu. Youmay want to try running it inside virtualbox. [13:10] gionnico, transmissions fine with me too... haven't encountered problems [13:10] I want to use Ubuntu, without messing up my windows xp [13:10] husinjalal: https://launchpad.net/bugs/73463 [13:10] where's the users list in GNOME Xchat? [13:10] ^c|0ud^, your window manager [13:10] nm [13:10] found it [13:10] !duel boot | PIZZATASTEGOOD [13:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about duel boot [13:10] husinjalal: it is supposedly fixed, but I don't see a new version of update-manager, so it is useless. [13:11] PIZZATASTEGOOD: i have no issues with 'messing up windows' by using a normal install method. I do know enough about partitions to partiopn my drive properly :) the installer can automate this [13:11] !duelboot | PIZZATASTEGOOD [13:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about duelboot === mk is now known as Guest60434 [13:11] quibbler, lol [13:11] PIZZATASTEGOOD: you can use wubi if you like, easier to grab a USB stick and install to that [13:11] Kikela, possibly. I'm not sure though as I don't have x64 available to play around with... [13:11] PIZZATASTEGOOD: if you want the least impact. test it out via the live cd. [13:11] quibbler, I think you mean dual boot dude [13:11] Mac8a: if you mean xchat-gnome click on bottom left where it says 1430 Users [13:11] quibbler: its dual, not duel [13:11] quibbler: it's spelled DUAL boot. [13:11] I press the "Upgrade" button and it just hangs there. [13:11] If I install something on a Live-CD-session, and then use the USB-creator tool, will these applicatoins be added? [13:11] * Dr_Willis has visions of cowboy boots fighting with work boots. [13:12] Guest60434: Nope. Dont think so. [13:12] Guest60434: that wouldbe too nice. :) [13:12] If i normally install ubuntu the normal way, will it partition my drive? [13:12] PIZZATASTEGOOD: or you can resize ntfs to make room for the install (backup your data just incase) [13:12] Guest60434: you can make a persistant save on the flash drive then install things howeverf [13:12] PIZZATASTEGOOD: it can, you can resize as part of the installation [13:12] PIZZATASTEGOOD: it will resize the existing and add partitions. yes. It can dothat [13:13] this time on my ubuntu install i made a separate /home how will it turn out to be helpful on my next install.(how to use it) [13:13] hi! can you just pop in a Karmic disc into a Hardy and do a direct upgrade? [13:13] Dr_Willis: it would, I need some extra drivers etc. to make a usable live-USB [13:13] Dr_Willis: That would be a possability yes :) [13:13] Guest60434: I made a usb-live for each of my pc's with the specific drivers each needed. [13:13] om26er: good move, saves heartache if you need a reinstall [13:13] Guest60434: ive installed the nvidia and ati and wireless drivers onto a usb-disk-creator made usb flash befor. [13:14] But I don't won't any other changes to be persistence to the USB though. Is that possible? [13:14] Guest60434: you would need to 'remaster' then. Ive never done that [13:14] !remaster [13:14] 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 [13:15] lb__: with alternate iso, yes [13:15] Kikela, have a read through this document: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432295&highlight=skype [13:15] Dr_Willis: Well, looks like it is time to learn some new stuff then :/ [13:15] legend2440, nm found it [13:15] lb__: hmm, no, not from Hardy, only from Jaunty [13:15] you can find tons of cool stuff on medibuntu [13:15] ActionParsnip, how will that /home be used at next install? [13:15] thanks, cankoy. only adjacent version numbers then? :/ [13:16] don't you know whether i get "a real ubuntu" when i install ubuntu-desktop into kubuntu and remove the whole kubuntu-desktop? [13:16] thank you gentlemen for the spelling lesson ....I haven't had the problem but it can be duel boot if you have problems with it [13:16] Dr_Willis: Thanks for quick answers by the way :) [13:16] cichlasoma: for the most part you have 'ubuntu' then. [13:16] !puregnome | cichlasoma [13:16] cichlasoma: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [13:16] what would be the missing part? [13:16] cichlasoma: there may still be a few little bits of kubuntu laying about.. but I always keep both desktops installed [13:16] om26er: you set it to mount to /home in custom partitioning but tell the installer not to format it [13:16] lb__: yes, every release explicitly mentions such details, refer to relevant upgrade notes. [13:16] cichlasoma, kubuntu is ubuntu but with kde desktop [13:17] lb__, and you need the alternate install cds to use for upgrading, you can't do it with the live cd [13:17] ActionParsnip, thanx [13:18] Good day everyone, where can kvpnc be downloaded for 9.04 ? [13:19] alabd, google [13:19] yes, my question is whether i get EXACTLY the same when i replace kubuntu's desktop as if i installed ubuntu. i mean, could there be some problems with the "replaced" version which there wouldn't be with a "real" ubuntu? [13:19] isnt it in the package repo [13:19] ? [13:19] I upgraded to 9.10... while this update caused my mic to start working, it now refuses to mute; this caused a terrible feedback first time I started it. My only options now are to mute the sound or use headphones; what can I do about this? I just need to mute the mic. Clicking 'mute' makes the meter show nothing, but the sound still comes through... === tehbaut| is now known as tehbaut [13:19] Hi, I'm new(ish) to linux & ubuntu. Just recently upgraded to karmic, but now firefox doesn't play videos, or flash stuff on websites. yet system says all plugins are added. any help out there? [13:19] cichlasoma: there should be no problems === agh0ri is now known as aghori [13:20] why it i not in rep ? [13:20] Dr_Willis: thanks! :-) [13:20] is openvpn beter than kvpnc ? [13:20] no [13:20] kvpnc is a frontend to multiple vpn client [13:21] whats your goal? [13:22] well and is it EXACTLY the same to install ubuntu and add kubuntu-desktop as to install Kubuntu and add ubuntu-desktop? [13:22] Does anyone know how you can upgrade behind a proxy? === kb is now known as Guest86143 [13:23] cichlasoma: thre may be some left over files laying about.. depending on what you have done [13:23] cichlasoma, i suppose in kubuntu there's specific optimizations for the kde desktop like in ubuntu those are for gnome [13:23] cirkit: i tend to install ubuntu, then add kubuntu-desktop [13:24] cichlasoma, see here http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [13:24] oops that was for cichlasoma :) [13:24] guys, is there a way to create a playlist consisting of youtube links to play in rhythmbox or totem? [13:24] pozic, set your proxy settings in system, preferences, network proxy [13:24] hi, is anyone using PHP with nginx ? === mimir|afk is now known as mimir|on [13:25] Just installed Ubuntu 9.10, why aren't my speakers working? [13:25] How to install Ipsec daemon on 9.04 ? [13:25] !ipsec [13:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about ipsec [13:25] !find ipsec [13:25] Found: ipsec-tools === yufei is now known as Yufei [13:25] martin_: I can browse the web just fine or download just about anything else. I can also use IRC just fine as you can see. [13:26] martin_: in other words, I set my proxy. [13:26] pozic, are you using synaptic package manager? [13:26] pozic, can you pastebin what happens when you try sudo apt-get update [13:26] martin_: the problem is that the authors of update-manager thought that nobody uses proxy servers. [13:27] martin_: I believe they fixed it now, but I cannot get the fixes into Jaunty. [13:27] Halitech: it works. [13:27] pozic, I've upgraded from behind a proxy for years [13:27] Dr_Willis, Torllan: thanks again! :-) [13:27] martin_: no, I am not using synaptic package manager. [13:27] martin_: the recommend way is to use update-manager AFAIK. [13:28] cichlasoma, ur welcome [13:28] martin_: unless you know that synaptic manager does _exactly_ the same as do-release-upgrade. [13:28] I've got an acer aspire laptop running hardy, it has a but in card reader, but its not picking up SD cards, any ideas? [13:28] i'm using command line update most of the time [13:28] sd cards never get mounted [13:28] pozic, I was only asking about package manager as it has a separate tab for proxy settings [13:28] Laurenceb: did you load the drivers? === phisher2 is now known as phisher1 [13:28] martin_: yes, and Synaptic works fine. [13:29] pozic:they usually work [13:29] martin_: Synaptic is also a horrible application, because it doesn't use the Gnome settings. [13:29] Just like Thunderbird doesn't integrate with the system. [13:29] I think synaptic was around befor gnome. :) [13:29] maybe hardware broke? [13:29] Dr_Willis: irrelevant [13:29] I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and now There are no audio hardware devices available in the Sound Preferences/Hardware. Consequently, no sound. [13:30] pozic: is there a way I can check my hardware? [13:30] pozic: its not a gnome app. so it cant be expected to use gnome settings. thats rellent. and i also hear it may get removed in the next release. [13:30] nether1, have you checked dmesg? [13:30] Dr_Willis: Ubuntu is "the desktop" for Ubuntu and Synaptic was/is a suggested application for Ubuntu. [13:30] Dr_Willis: er Gnome [13:30] !find vtund [13:30] pozic: thats slowly changeeing. [13:30] File vtund found in libwvstreams-dev, libwvstreams4.6-doc, vtun [13:31] Dr_Willis: yes, it might be changing, but it was true until Jaunty. [13:31] nether1, whats the output of lspci | grep Multimedia [13:31] lots of loose ends and polish still going on [13:31] Dr_Willis: so, they just cluster fucked up there. [13:31] Dr_Willis: for vtund which package should be installed? [13:31] I'd like to add that synaptic is horrible :P [13:31] I have not, i'm still new to Ubuntu, just installed it last night. It's a Realtek and it's not muted, i checked [13:31] alabd: no idea. [13:31] I'm trying to set up my gmail (imap) account in evolution but it never asks me for my password. I've deleted everything in the ~/.evolution folder and removed my password in Seahorse but still no luck. Any ideas? [13:31] So, back to my problem: how can you upgrade Jaunty to Karmic? [13:31] How would I recursively loop through a whole directory structure and automatically remove all .svn folders? === cosmin_ is now known as cosmincx [13:31] hi all people, i have a little problem using mount with one partition on hfs+, i have deactivated journal, and now mounted with that command: hfsplus user,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0, but i only can read, cant writte =( [13:31] how to hide ip address? [13:32] or just type sudo hwinfo [13:32] <_Narc_> Hey folks, Nautilus just crashed, it's okay but anyone knows the command to relaunch it, my desktop has no icons anymore and I don't wanna reboot [13:32] MenZa: find . -name .svn -exec rm {} \; , IIRC [13:32] Mwa: use of the 'find' command. can proberly do that once ya learn the proper syntax. i always have to look it up [13:32] or just type sudo hwinfo > hardware [13:32] raik: hide it where? [13:32] Mwa: always test out find statemets with 'echo' beofr actually using 'rm' in them. Just in case theres a mistake in them [13:32] i found a solution for all the webcams [13:32] i mean hide it from other from viewing. slope [13:32] hey dr_willis [13:32] Mwa, find . -name ".svn" -exec rm -fr {} \; [13:33] raik: on irc? You can request a ip cloak on this server. but its proberly not needed [13:33] raik: where do you want to hide it? who don't you want to see it? why? give us some more info or we can't help you. [13:34] eddym: 'all' ? :) thats a large # [13:34] !cloke | raik [13:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about cloke [13:34] i want a fake ip address instead of my real ip address shown to other people or sites. slope [13:34] !cloak | raik [13:34] raik: Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [13:35] raik: then use tor perhaps? [13:35] raik: or some annomizer proxys [13:35] is tor plugin or softwares. Dr_willis [13:35] Dr_Willis, yeah put the old ones in a box and buy this one http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/webcam_communications/webcams/devices/4528&cl=us,en [13:35] :-D [13:35] !tor | raik [13:35] raik: Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [13:36] hi [13:36] heh.. raik tor is a anomiozer proxy system. check out its homepage. [13:36] raik: its softwre. but its not in the repos last i checked [13:36] raik: don't use tor before reading about it properly. Anything you send unencrypted can be read by the last node. [13:36] asked on ubuntu-uk this morning but no one knew - this mornings 9.10 update fails to install anything with error in sysv-rc - see http://paste.ubuntu.com/322243/ any ideas [13:36] That means passwords, personal information, anything. [13:37] have a question here: where are, in the fsm the inodes created through the gnome menu (i.e., sshfs/sftp)? [13:37] ...fs [13:37] s/fsm/fs, [13:37] how can i arhive an folder ( exemple ) Desktop/Pictures/* i want to arhive in pics.tgz or pics.tar.gz [13:37] dpkg: error processing sysv-rc (--configure):, subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal (Segmentation fault), core dumped [13:37] how can i post any chance to help for this issue http://paste.ubuntu.com/322391/ [13:37] When I go to preferences it does not detect any hardware, under output it says Dummy Output, so this means i have no sound at all, not even in headphones. this happened after I installed Ubuntu 9.10. Can anyone help me? [13:37] i am using 9.04 64 bit [13:38] martin_: update/upgrading right now.. lets see if i get an error [13:38] nether1, whats the output of lspci | grep Multimedia [13:38] Halitech: how do I check that? [13:38] gg right click --> compress [13:38] hi guys could anyone tell how i can open a folder in grapshical from terminal [13:39] gg right click --> compress in nautilus [13:39] nether1, open a terminal and run that command [13:39] siropio: nautilus /path/to/location i think [13:39] husinjalal : but via terminal how can i do it ? [13:39] compiz GPG error :( [13:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/322391/ [13:40] does using tor in browser make browser slow? [13:40] raik: there will be a slowdown . yes. [13:40] raik: tor will also be slow and not something you want to use all the time. If you're willing to pay look for a VPN tunnel service. It all depends on how anonymous you want to be. [13:40] Thers being 'secure' then thers being 'paranoid' :) [13:40] Dr_Willis: you were right thanks === jmrodri-gone is now known as jmrodri [13:41] raik: the concept of "hiding an IP address" in an absolute sense does not exist. [13:41] raik: it will be relative to computational security. [13:41] raik: and relative to who is operating the nodes. [13:41] hi all [13:41] raik: and relative to the countries in which those nodes are located. [13:42] raik: not one simple quick fix. [13:42] Is there a fresh build of Pidgin for Karmic? [13:42] fantomas|wrk: there might be more up to date PPA repos for it. [13:42] Dr_Willis, I would not mind so much except even when I uncheck sysv it fails and refuses to do the other updates [13:42] martin_: i just update/upgraded here. and had no issues. === |Myxb| is now known as Myxb [13:42] Dr_Willis: might. I can't find anything on that launchpad with its idiotic search [13:42] gg use tar command ..... $tar -cf xxxx.tar directory [13:43] fantomas|wrk: yea. Its a little aqwkward. i tend to search google and the forums to find info on ppa's [13:43] Dr_Willis, oh, its just me then :-( [13:43] raik: come back if you still have any questions after you've you've read http://www.torproject.org/overview.html.en and http://www.torproject.org/download.html.en#Warning and https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ [13:43] martin_: i got 3 more machines to update. :) lets see [13:43] Dr_Willis: ok, good idea. [13:44] Should i use Wubi or do a proper install? and why [13:44] O_o [13:45] PIZZATASTEGOOD, proper install, anything happens to windows and there goes your Ubuntu install, runs faster on a native install, better support for proper install [13:45] What if i no longer want ubuntu? [13:45] hi [13:45] PIZZATASTEGOOD: Use wubi if you're not willing to format/partition your hard drive and only want to try it out. Otherwise proper. [13:46] Dr_Willis, someone else with it - http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1766660.html [13:46] will i have to reformat my drive if i dont want ubuntu anymore? [13:46] gpg error http://paste.ubuntu.com/322391/ [13:46] PIZZATASTEGOOD, use your windows instll cd to repair the MBR and then format the partition that ubuntu is installed on [13:46] how can i setup ubuntu thems [13:47] i currently dont have any partitions, the ubuntu installer will make one for me right? [13:47] Sicario: google: how to install gnome themes [13:47] slope, please dont recommend that here [13:47] PIZZATASTEGOOD, yes it will, I recommend defragging your drive at least twice before you partition it though [13:47] PIZZATASTEGOOD: you delete the partition ubuntu is on, let windows reformat it, and reinstall the windows boot loader. to remove linux [13:47] PIZZATASTEGOOD, you alreaady have windows installed? [13:48] i have windows xp installed [13:48] i have a problem with fonts in QT apps. i do not need antialiasing and GTK apps look fine, but QT apps look ugly. Earlier it was OK though. I use verdana and terminus fonts in both cases. can anyone help? === Ricky_ is now known as Guest40012 [13:48] I have the karmic repositories in my sources.list file, now why doesn't it make vlc-1.02 available? [13:48] PIZZATASTEGOOD, use a live CD with Gparted to free up space on our hard drive, how big is your hard drive? [13:48] before doing anything to xp ..... better backup first & defrag ..... [13:48] hi [13:48] Sicario, get a theme, from gnome-look.org then drag the tar.gz to the theme manager [13:48] bazhang: why not? I tried it before replying and the first result has the answer. [13:49] !google [13:49] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [13:49] !info vlc [13:49] vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.2-1ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 1581 kB, installed size 3788 kB [13:49] !goggle | slope [13:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about goggle [13:49] ok [13:49] slope, this is not a google re-direct. [13:49] if i delete the partition that ubuntu made, will my hard drive get all the space back without losing data/reformating [13:49] !search [13:49] Search factoids for term: !search [13:49] Halitech: that's why I said what to google as well [13:49] pozic: common issues. Universe, not enabled. or you dident 'update' after making the changes [13:50] Dr_Willis: it was not universe, but probably vlc depends on some stuff which is not in universe. [13:50] Dr_Willis: I fixed it. [13:50] PIZZATASTEGOOD, no because windows can't natively read linux partitions [13:50] then i'll just wubi [13:50] PIZZATASTEGOOD: you will have to reformat the LINUX parittion to let windows use that space. [13:51] before doing anything to xp ..... better backup first & defrag ..... :D [13:51] PIZZATASTEGOOD: you can read EXT3 from Windows. [13:51] PIZZATASTEGOOD: thats not the same as 'loseing all your windows data' [13:51] PIZZATASTEGOOD: (if that is what you want to do) [13:51] PIZZATASTEGOOD, if you delete to stop using ubuntu you will have to use a utility like Gparted to delete the partition you created for ubuntu and reclaim the space for your windows partition === Pascal is now known as Pascal_du_Pole_M [13:52] pozic, natively? [13:52] if i reformat the ubuntu partition, will it still be a partition? or will the space be added to the original one partition [13:52] Halitech: what does that even mean? [13:52] PIZZATASTEGOOD: learning how pc's partiion drives and how partions work . Is knowledge well worth learning. :) [13:52] Halitech: just instructions executed on a CPU. [13:52] PIZZATASTEGOOD: its a seperate partition. Unless you reeize the windows partition to use the space [13:52] Halitech: there is no scripting language in between, if that is what you mean. [13:52] pozic, without adding any extra software windows cannot read ext3 [13:52] PIZZATASTEGOOD: really, the easiest way is to get a livecd and play around, if you're still undecided do wubi. When and if you decide to switch do a proper install. And always have a backup before doing stuff like repartitioning your hard drive. [13:52] why have all my contacts disappeared from all my IM accounts on pidgin after upgrade to 9.10? [13:53] How do I get them back? [13:53] Halitech: without extra software Windows cannot be used at all. [13:53] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning [13:53] Will a Wubi install be slower and stuff then a proper install [13:53] pozic, exactly my point [13:53] PIZZATASTEGOOD: it may be a tad slower. [13:54] PIZZATASTEGOOD: I tend to test things out in virtualbox (slower) but it lets you run both os's at the same time [13:54] can somebody help with a machine which i cannot make sound come out of? [13:54] PIZZATASTEGOOD: read http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [13:54] Question for knowledgeable people - my upgrade from 9.04 to the latest Ubuntu has failed almost totally. I am not able to log on at all. This is a Dell Vostro 1700 laptop and I must have upgraded two versions (since I limited my old versions on grub to 2). Can anyone help me to either go forward or fall back to 9.04? [13:54] it worked before the last dist-upgrade [13:55] do you guys think this would work in ubuntu 9.10 http://www.gizfever.com/usb-webcam-with-speaker-microphone-p-525.html [13:55] BCMM, whats the output of lspci | grep Multimedia [13:55] IndiRedif: you can't downgrade [13:55] Ohh [13:55] i've checked things aren't muted [13:55] try install fresh .... [13:55] IndiRedif: if you log on to root recovery console, can you create a new user and log on as that? [13:55] IndiRedif: I suggest you do a fresh install. [13:56] Infinitas - does that menan d/l a 9.1 image and reinstall? [13:56] wow you guys throw in the towel fast [13:56] seriously. [13:56] hi i need to give my user read and write acces to the usb file system (usbfs) how can i do this? === dYna_ is now known as basti [13:56] ActionParsnip - on recovery console I can log on as before - but only to the text console [13:56] No GUI [13:56] silidan: use better mount options [13:56] Halitech: no output [13:56] IndiRedif: Yes, that's what it means. [13:56] IndiRedif: thats great, make a new user there and then reboot to log on as the new user [13:57] IndiRedif: if its ok, your original user is bad somehow. If it doesnt log in either then its a system issue [13:57] Halitech: this might be relevant though: 00:0f.0 Audio device: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Azalia Audio Controller [13:57] ActionParsnip: hm... it is the manual of virtualbox that states that... in order to use usb for the virtual machine... so im actually not sure what that means.. [13:57] BCMM, then its not seeing your sound card, can you use pastebin and post the full output of lspci [13:57] ActionParsnip - I am currently inWindoze - so I'll have to log off, do what you are suggesting and then try it [13:57] So it is not going to be easy to chat about it [13:57] whats up [13:57] !adduser | IndiRedif [13:57] IndiRedif: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [13:57] IndiRedif: G'luck. [13:57] ActionParsnip: i didnt ever mount my USB webcam or USB mouse though [13:57] Infinitas - thx [13:57] Halitech: the device looks like it should work, i can change mixer settings and so on [13:58] silidan: make sure the USB ports are activated in the virtualboxes settings. you will need to power off the vbox to edit [13:58] ActionParsnip: yep they are added [13:58] BCMM, speakers connected to the correct port? (dumb question but its happened before) [13:58] Halitech: i can make the pc-speaker beeps come out of it (it's a laptop) and make it reproduce sound from the microphone by playing with the mixer settings [13:58] silidan: you don't mount mice, only block devices [13:58] Halitech: built-in [13:58] Halitech: also tried headphones [13:58] silidan: maybe you need the guest additions [13:58] OK folks - thx for the advise - I'll check back in later [13:58] Halitech: also dual-booted windows, where it still works fine [13:58] Mouse with built in usb flash drive. :) [13:58] BCMM, just seen that you are using a laptop [13:58] but when the machine runs the webcam and mouse is still greyed out.. [13:58] Hmm. that would be neat. [13:59] Hi all... I'd like to transfer my musics to my MP3 player... My musics are in OGG and my MP3 Player does support it, but Rhythmbox always convert any music to MP3 when transfering it to there. :/ [13:59] Is there how transfer the music (with Rhythmbox) whithout convert it? [13:59] silidan: if you want access to your usb devices, you can cheat and simply add the folder the USB stick mounts to as a drive letter (guessing the vbox is windows) [13:59] Halitech: and anyway it clearly can make sound, such as pc-speaker beeps and repeating microphone input [13:59] just nothing from the actual system [14:00] not using aplay, not using mplayer -vo oss or sdl or alsa, not using cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp [14:00] I had a problem with an svn update and now I have files set as Read-only file system - how do I clear that up? [14:00] hi somebody knows the name for one program to control the starts programs? [14:00] hi [14:00] ActionParsnip: where can i get the Guest Additions? (i cant find them on the VirtualBox download page) [14:00] somebody know the name for a programa that control the startup programs? [14:00] like i say, things were fine before the last distro upgrade, give or take a codec issue [14:01] sudo rcconf [14:01] BCMM, did you upgrade from 9.04?

[14:08] kostkon: i presumed it was OK to ask in here, since it doesn't seem to be kde-related at all [14:08] kostkon: but i don't think she changed any settings; it just died with the distro upgrade [14:08] em... when the guest os is started there at bottom there are some buttons one of them is for usb stuff and with rightclick thats greyed out.. [14:08] hy [14:08] my ubuntuone does'nt synchronise but its connected [14:09] ActionParsnip: em... when the guest os is started there at bottom there are some buttons one of them is for usb stuff and with rightclick thats greyed out.. [14:09] BCMM, aha. she could check it's hardware volume levels. although maybe using the kde mixer can access them already [14:09] kostkon: i've unmuted everything using alsamixer [14:09] silidan: have you asked in #vbox ?

[14:20] lundh: has anyone.. is never a detailed/usefull question [14:21] BCMM yeah but it will take a while to dig the monitor up...the LCD most defantily supports the res of the old monitor that the owner uses [14:21] nerdy_kid: well, probably not the issue then [14:21] husinjalal i take it back it's not working [14:21] BCMM the card is working; compiz is working, everything is fine exept the res [14:22] BCMM: I get a bunch of output from that, but I don't see the type anywhere. [14:22] nerdy_kid: hmm, i think there is an nvidia-specific line you can add to the device section to make it autodetect resolutions differently [14:22] sup? [14:22] BCMM could i manualy force it to take a res via x config? [14:22] davidboy: what is the "model name" [14:22] which one not wrking ... [14:22] nerdy_kid: you can fix it old school [14:22] Any one got any ideas why SSH refuses to connect to localhost ? ufw says 22/tcp ALLOW Anywhere [14:22] nerdy_kid: you can manually set modes [14:23] BCMM: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T2370 @ 1.73GHz === friendishan is now known as friendishan_ [14:23] BCMM ActionParsnip i dont care how i fix it lol [14:23] nerdy_kid: if you run: gksudo nvidia-settings you can setup the screen someway then click "Write to X config file" === friendishan_ is now known as friendishan [14:23] nerdy_kid: slighly vague on that cause i haven't had to since probably back when i had teh mx 440 === friendishan is now known as friendishan_ [14:23] nerdy_kid: you can now run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and fine tune the res in the file, save the new file and restart X / reboot [14:23] How do i make home directory writeable.. this is a brand new server === friendishan_ is now known as friendishan [14:23] nerdy_kid: ActionParsnip has a point [14:24] nerdy_kid: about nvidia-settings [14:24] chmod 667 /home [14:24] BCMM ActionParsnip ok trying the nvidia-settings... [14:24] sudo chmod 667 /home [14:24] #phys2009 [14:24] iceroot_: if you had no advice at all, why just complain? [14:24] i got it [14:24] thanks [14:24] nvidia-settings is great if you have a 4x3 screen as far as I've seen, the list of resolutions always seens limited to me so I do it that way [14:25] nerdy_kid: i have to use xorg.conf still as my monitor doesnt report refresh rates so I have to add them in manually [14:25] davidboy: 64-bit [14:25] davidboy: based on teh Intel Core architechture [14:25] hi there i'm using a fresh installation of latest ubuntu server and webmin. how do I access the webmin using the server's hostname instead of it's ip? [14:25] diplomatic: sudo chmod 755 /home (667 is stupid) [14:26] my ubuntu one doesn't synchronize with the UbuntuOne folder. But at ubuntuone.com the files are online oO. [14:26] and i got u1conflict files [14:26] I've just noticed on a couple of newly upgraded servers to 9.10 that there is an automatic logout of SSH clients. While this admittedly is a good security measure, I'd like to either disable it on a per host basis or entierly (the machines are on a none internet routed network). Problem is, I can't find what mechanism controls this, any pointers? [14:26] but removed them [14:26] !webmin | dremits [14:26] dremits: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [14:26] dremits: you can add an entry in your hosts file to make the translation quicker [14:26] lundh: because noone will help you with a question like that. you get yes or no as an anwser, and then you have to ask a new question, so just ask the real question. you see, its very easy :) [14:27] dremits: webmin is very not advised === carlos is now known as Guest19411 [14:27] nerdy_kid: in your monitor section, Option "DPMS", plus very liberal refresh and sync ranges can sometimes make it autodetect modes properly [14:27] dremits: you could edit the clienbts /etc/hosts to map the proper hostname to ip#. but i agree with the others.. webmin is worth avoiding [14:27] !evolution [14:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about evolution [14:27] BCMM: Thanks [14:27] nerdy_kid: don't do that if his monitor is so old that it will try to do insane refresh rates instead of showing an error [14:28] Dr_Willis ok i'll change from webmin but i have edited the hosts file but to no avail [14:28] !ebox [14:28] BCMM ActionParsnip the nvidia settings thing isnt working...have do it manualy [14:28] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [14:28] nerdy_kid: what error do you get? [14:28] dremits: can you ping the server by hostname? [14:28] nerdy_kid: is it "cannot parse xorg.conf fie" [14:28] ubottu : thanks [14:28] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [14:28] nerdy_kid: or similar [14:29] iceroot_: If I have a fuzzy question, it help just knowing if anyone actually know what kind of software it it before asking a long question [14:29] dr_willis yes [14:29] BCMM ActionParsnip no no i dont get an error i just cant set the res any higher, im in the xorg.conf now [14:29] !ubuntu netbook [14:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu netbook [14:29] I need help with accessing the part of my liveUSB which isn't being used by ubuntu, can anyone help me? [14:29] nerdy_kid: if you want i can pastebin my monitor section [14:29] friendishan, /msg ubottu please [14:29] nerdy_kid: it's served me pretty well on some very different monitors [14:29] dremits: webmin is set to onlyu allow connections from local lan ip's or localhost i thought by default. Using webmin over the internet is a very bad idea from a security point of view [14:29] anyone using ubuntu one [14:29] guys [14:29] hi all [14:29] bazhang ok [14:29] nerdy_kid: yes, the res won't change until you edit the file and restart X, otherwise you just wrote the config for the system to the xorg.conf file, nothing more [14:29] need help [14:30] 2 min [14:30] !ask | skande [14:30] skande: 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. :-) [14:30] I just realized that videos on facebook don't play to their full length when on ubuntu. anyone can tell me how I can fix that? [14:30] why no more cinepaint in repo? [14:30] BCMM sure, as a side note the 'Modes' section is set to 'nvidia-auto-select [14:30] !infp cinepaint [14:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about infp cinepaint [14:30] scottandmonique : most of them (including me) [14:30] !info cinepaint [14:30] Package cinepaint does not exist in karmic [14:30] Dr_Willis: I'm using it over LAN. It seems to be working now but seemed strange there was a delay [14:30] ActionParsnip yeah, i havnt edited anything yet, thanks [14:30] scottandmonique: i don't [14:30] nerdy_kid: i don't have a modes section [14:30] scottandmonique : if u mean ubuntu 1.0 nope i don't [14:31] hi [14:31] syrius: let me see if theres a ppa [14:31] anyone plz help [14:31] i want to uninstall mysql [14:31] from ubuntu [14:31] do u know the doc if the interuptions (kbd) which are sent to a process ?? [14:31] dremits ... the delay maybe because of lan traffics ... [14:31] a new program in ubuntu 9.10 Ubuntu ONE sharing files using internet and email [14:31] do u know the doc of the interuptions (kbd) which are sent to a process ?? [14:31] Dr_Willis: Thanks I think it's working. Sorry so why is webmin bad? Is ebox the best alternative? [14:31] BCMM ActionParsnip i just need to know the format of the 'Modes' section, right now its set to nvidia-auto-select which i guess doesnt work === Ziber_ is now known as Ziber [14:31] syrius: you are in luck: https://launchpad.net/~cinepaint/+archive/experimental [14:31] does the porting and firewall bypass for u [14:32] husinjalal: thanks for the help [14:32] shail .. apt-get remove mysql [14:32] just add peps emails if they set it up [14:32] 2gb of space free [14:32] that's for keylogger writing [14:32] pay for more [14:32] dremits ...:D [14:32] lundh: is anyone using firefox? answer = yes or no, but my real question was: is firefox running unter ubuntu 9.10. so i hope you see what i mean [14:33] nerdy_kid: did you not set a resolution in nvidia-settings? if you leave it as auto, you will get that. Set the resolution to something other than auto, like 1024x768 and then you can change the number easier [14:33] I need help with accessing the part of my liveUSB which isn't being used by ubuntu, can anyone help me? [14:33] is there a room to get help on pommo? [14:33] k [14:33] BCMM ActionParsnip oh yeah, ok i got it via google anyway. [14:33] nerdy_kid: if i were you, i would omit the modes section [14:33] nobody know ?? [14:33] nerdy_kid: i can send yu mine if you'd like [14:33] BCMM why? [14:34] nerdy_kid: http://pastebin.com/ff7e3ea8 [14:34] nerdy_kid: because not having one has always resulted in flawless autodetection for me, when using nvidia drivers [14:34] psychuil: how did you make the live usb?

[14:36] ActionParsnip: i think i found that while looking for the thing i thought encouraged it to autodetect things [14:36] lundh: and asking a question starting with anyone will end in !anyone :-) [14:36] Re: Cinepaint [14:36] Quote: [14:36] Originally Posted by lyceum View Post [14:36] I am running 8.04 with Universe enabled and it is still not there [14:36] GTK1 is no longer supported by Debian and has been removed along with all programs that depend on it hence no Cinepaint in Ubuntu.

[14:39] that command not working [14:39] I just realized that videos on facebook don't play to their full length when on ubuntu. anyone can tell me how I can fix that? [14:39] BCMM: Yes [14:39] Keypad: ok can you connect to localhost whilst sat at the system running the ssh server? [14:39] Keypad, make sure you have that port open on your router, and make sure ssh is running $ sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start [14:39] BCMM: Would it be 32-bit? [14:39] shail: dpkg -l mysql* |grep ^ii [14:39] i have also tried to change password command that isnt working too [14:39] shail look at this http://www.experts-exchange.com/Databases/Mysql/Q_21045731.html [14:39] shail: look for the correct packagename to remove [14:39] sudo apt-get remove windows [14:39] ^^ [14:40] shail: most likely mysql-server [14:40] shail: did you have applications accesing the packages open?

[15:59] exactly what you said [15:59] it's dapper, by the way [15:59] ! grub | mordof [16:00] If anyone knows how to fix the blue problem, please PM me, i am working and cannot watch this screen much.. [16:00] mordof: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [16:00] Anyone got an idea what happened with readline support in python on Karmic? [16:00] does pasuspender need to be launched alongside one specific application for that application to bypass it, or can pasuspended be turned off and on (for example, pasuspender xterm... leave it on another desktop) [16:00] rdb: :| you should do « sudo mount --bind /proc/ /path/to/chrooted/folder/ » do not blindly copy everything you see here [16:00] LoneShadow: this could help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7701673&postcount=25 [16:00] erUSUL, ah, okay.

Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [16:01] soreau: i already gave the error messages, i'm trying to reinstall grub.. and it says error 17: cannot mount partition. checked fdisk -l, cannot open /dev/sda [16:01] cankoy: dont see any Download, Linux !!

Thanks a bunch! [16:03] erUSUL, http://pastebin.com/m3b7946d1 [16:03] erUSUL, that's what happened. [16:03] mordof: Ok, what does 'find /boot/grub/stage1' give from the grub prompt? [16:03] erUSUL, if I start a python in a different user account that has no pyhist.py I still get no commandline editing. [16:03] soreau: no such file or directory [16:03] soreau: grub got removed by the windows installation afaik [16:04] cankoy: wierd i cannot see the deb !! i only see the windows :/ [16:04] Dreamglider: you shot you pasted is different from what I see, weird... maybe some caching issue [16:04] how do I install proposed software ..

[16:07] erUSUL, no I think (I have no idea), I've managed to delete the .so => it's in the locate db, but it's not there in reality :( [16:07] vikta: use "&", sry [16:07] epinky: thanks, was following the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandlineHowto#Multiple%20Commands thought it was bash, either that or it needs updating. [16:08] yacc: :| rweinstall the package that holds it [16:08] soreau: ooh, that solved it.. yaay.. *happy* [16:08] hi all, i have a partition that df reports is 100% used. However du -c total does not equal the partition size; it's less by an order of magnitude. Anybody seen this before? suggestions? [16:08] soreau: don't know why i didn't think about that [16:08] soreau: i can see all the partitions properly now [16:08] Hello, when i do apt-get install ....... it tries to use a proxy .. how do I take away the proxy from the default gnome settings?

[16:10] AmokPaule: ask in #ubuntustudio too [16:10] epaphus: hmm.. someone was askinmg how to make apt-get use a proxy earlier. :) to bad i dident pay attention. I was thinking its a setting in synaptic, not gnome. [16:10] AmokPaule: what sort? editing recordings, or making electronic stuff? [16:10] how do I installed propsed software via command line [16:10] just did upgrade to 9.10 with update manager, now when I boot it goes to a desktop with bad graphics (like the wrong resolution setting), and hangs. Can't swith to a text term, can't ctrl-alt-backspace [16:11] i want to create some sounds so like a synthi or something [16:11] can only hit power button. I turned off gdm, and startx does the same thing... I don't see any errors in the xorg log [16:11] soreau: now i wonder if i can follow this recovering grub guide [16:11] mordof: You should be able to follow the instructions for restoring grub after installing windows. How did you get to the grub prompt btw? [16:11] ardour looks good really pro [16:11] cankoy: it installed correct but it does not run, nor can i type wspr in terminal and run it [16:11] soreau: sudo grub - did that part right at least. yeah i'll look over the guide now and let you knwo what happens [16:12] soreau: ty [16:12] rubydiamond, if you've enabled "proposed" (pre-release Ubuntu updates), update with "sudo apt-get update" then see if anything is available for updating. [16:12] how can I modify cpu scaling for all cores at once? i used to use the cpu scaling applet but now I have to have 4 on my panel and modify all of them manually, it's stupid === Terminator_ is now known as Terminator [16:13] ZykoticK9: I have enabled [16:14] Dreamglider: I'm not familiar w/that sw. Just try to run from cmdline and see if it prints any err message [16:14] cankoy: wspr command not found [16:14] is apt-get dist-upgrade the same as doing the upgrade from update-manager? [16:15] rubydiamond, "sudo apt-get -s upgrade" should simulate what an update would look like for ya [16:15] echinos: no [16:15] is there a way to retry the upgrade from command line? [16:15] echinos: in fact dis-upgrade by itself does not upgrade the distribution to a newer one [16:15] Dreamglider: 'dpkg -L wspr' to get a list of files it installed (maybe the name has changed) [16:16] well, I'm stuck here now :/ [16:16] ZykoticK9: done .. it shows karmic proposed software .. i just want to install these two libjmagick6-java libjmagick6-jni [16:16] echinos: something in the other logs ?

[16:16] echinos: or in ~/.xsession-errors ? happens the same in a new user ? (create one from terminal ) [16:17] echinos, try the dist-upgrade [16:17] ZykoticK9: I just want to install libjmagick6-java libjmagick6-jni [16:17] from karmic-proposed [16:17] rubydiamond, "sudo apt-get install libjmagick6-java libjmagick6-jni" then perhaps remove proposed [16:17] but I ran apt-get upgrade after and it seemed to get everything else [16:17] dist-upgrade doesn't install any packages now [16:17] but my sources still say jaunty === ubott2 is now known as ubottu [16:17] rubydiamond, you should research pinning perhaps as well, i've never actually used it [16:18] cankoy: thanks mate, i had to run it with python wspr.py [16:18] echinos, I see... you should be able to just change the sources.list and replace "jaunty" with "karmic" and then run apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade [16:18] * hellyeah wonder anyone here who makes thesis about control theory [16:18] Dreamglider: yw [16:18] hellyea : *cough* [16:18] soreau: k, said it was successfully installed, going to restart and see if i can access both OS's now.. *crosses fingers* [16:19] hellyeah: : Although control theory is a HUGE body of mathematics [16:19] i read that gimp will be taken out of the default install next release [16:19] how much space will that free up exactly?

[16:20] Martyn, i summarize this history for my thesis proposal [16:20] hellyeah : There are a number of fantastic books about the whole body of theory... is there a specific part of the field that you're looking to summarise?

[16:22] ouro: describe the problem better please [16:22] mordof: That really is not important right now. You can edit your menu.lst later.

[16:37] should i try anyway? or is there some other/better way to do it remotely? === cello78 is now known as cellofellow === LjL is now known as LjL2 [16:38] Anorien: But both 'remove' and 'purge' will _never_ touch your own configuration files, just the system-wide ones. [16:38] (upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10*) === LjL2 is now known as LjL [16:38] grawity: ty, that answers my question [16:38] because consumer routers are crap [16:38] Hans_Henrik: i would have to agree with what it says. In the worsse case.. pc may not boot up after upgrade [16:38] jmburgess, all of them [16:38] how should i update from 9.04 to 9.10 remotely? (if there is a good way to do this?) [16:38] on a linksys router I had people exploiting my router so that I would close the connection to irc network [16:39] Hans_Henrik, very very carefully [16:39] Hans_Henrik: no idea. why do you even 'need' to upgrade? if its a server. [16:39] grawity: I see there *is* ubuntu for coLinux ;) http://sourceforge.net/projects/colinux/files/ [16:39] How can i open a .db file? [16:39] Where are mysql error logs written to [16:40] frostburn: /var/log/mysql [16:40] it's not /var/log because there's 10 rotated ones with 0 byte sizes [16:40] Ioneye: There are many different database formats and all of them often have a .db extension. [16:40] llutz, nope, it's empty [16:40] Dr_Willis: i guess Koala is better supported/higher update priority than Jaunty is :p - else, dont really got any good reason to do an update [16:40] grawity, can it be from SQLite? [16:40] frostburn: then you changed the default-config [16:41] hi all [16:41] Im getting some problems with my folders sometimes it doest show the information like videos or pictures that i have on it [16:41] llutz, no, the default config has not been changed, [16:41] Hans_Henrik: thats not really a 'great' reason to upgrade.. :) [16:41] Hans_Henrik: jaunty has support for a few more months i recall. [16:41] hi, i have a problem, when i run gnome-alsamixer and i go to preferences, the prorgram crashes and i get: (gnome-alsamixer:4183): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_instance_get_private: assertion `instance != NULL && instance->g_class != NULL' failed Fallo de segmentación [16:41] frostburn: then your logrotate went crazy. mysql logs default to /var/log/mysql/* [16:41] is upnp safe to leave on in router? Dr_Willis [16:42] sheilds up says it is bad === LjL is now known as LjL2 [16:42] syrius: as safe as anything else i guess. :) i use the feature for my torrent clients [16:42] Hans_Henrik: "sudo do-release-upgrade" and follow the instructions, however I think it's not a good idea :) [16:42] Ioneye: try "file foo.db" === LjL2 is now known as FloodBot4 [16:42] FBI says to disable it [16:42] syrius: I wouldent think upnp would be detectable over the interent.. tht seems odd. [16:42] llutz, are they populated? http://pastebin.com/m117d2a16 === FloodBot4 is now known as LjL [16:43] syrius: did you scan the router? or the pc? [16:43] Ioneye: Try running "file foo.db" as llutz suggested - it should tell the file format. If it's SQlite 3, use "sqlite3 foo.db" [16:43] As originally urged by the FBI, and still urged by prominent security experts, our UnPnP utility easily disables the dangerous, and almost always unnecessary, Universal Plug and Play service. If you don't need it, turn it off. (For ALL versions of Windows.) [16:43] syrius: i DO need it. [16:43] syrius: and im not running windows.. :) [16:43] it is bad [16:43] Hans_Henrik: that's how I upgraded my server, with "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" via SSH, and mine went over without a hiccup [16:43] grawity: gettign this kinda messages while removing "dpkg: warning: while removing apache2.2-common, directory '/etc/apache2' not empty so not removed." shall i manually delete those folders? [16:43] grawity, it says SQLite 2.x database [16:43] winblows [16:43] syrius: so it disables it on your windows machine...... [16:44] who me never [16:44] Anorien: Yeah, if you want to get rid of the config files. [16:44] grawity: ty [16:44] Hello, how can I join Ubuntu? [16:44] syrius: its saying tha ttool disables it on 'windows' by turning off the upnp service on windows. [16:44] WINBLOWS goes into garbage bin [16:44] syrius: As do you. [16:44] Good day everyone ,XSane Image Scanner in ubuntu 9.04 does not detect Samsung all-in-one printer/scanner/fax , how it can be solved [16:44] syrius: here , ktorrent uses the upnp feature of the router to get the ports forwareded automatically..

[16:45] Good day everyone ,XSane Image Scanner in ubuntu 9.04 does not detect Samsung SCX-4x21 all-in-one printer/scanner/fax , howit can be solved [16:45] syrius: What is _your_ problem? If you dislike Windows, then just don't use it. [16:45] it can't [16:45] frostburn: i just found this in my.cnf: # Error logging goes to syslog. This is a Debian improvement :) [16:46] winblows [16:46] frostburn: so grep through /var/log/messages syslog etc.pp [16:47] Okay, ubuntu 9.10. Power cycled a machine, and grub didn't boot automatically, no timeout, no nothing. [16:48] llutz, yeah, just found that as well, http://pastebin.com/m7cb9544 [16:48] syslog isn't configured to send syslogs to mysql.log either [16:50] mysqllogs aren't in there, only kernel messages ugh, who configured this [16:51] Hi.

[17:46] grawity: isn't $0 the first argument the script gets? [17:46] benc1: No, that's $1. [17:46] o_O [17:46] benc1: $0 is the name of the program/script itself [17:46] grawity: Dr_Willis: thanks [17:46] hello. i'm looking for the right tools to make my own repository on a flash disk. more specifically, i'd like to get all the packages from -updates and -security and make a repository of it [17:46] is the admin always so jumpy here?

[17:53] grawity: Woah, thanks [17:53] xae8koo: youmean use a gamepad as a mouse? [17:53] d4non: deleting partitions & reformatting isn't always the end of the world... now, if you actually wrote data into that newly formatted partition there will be substantial data loss [17:53] theadmin: Remember, Pidgin is an IM client, not designed for huge chat channels -- or IRC at all, for that matter. [17:54] grawity: Well, it does quite fine for me. [17:55] d4non: sometimes the easiest way out is to use a partition tool to precisely recreate the previous partition map, then use a tool to look for files in that partition which aren't in the volume index (which should be all of them) [17:56] ...who translated Pidgin to russian? Translations of plugin names is HORRIBLE. [17:56] no love for me?

[18:11] flan_suse, any suggestion? [18:11] resno, if you have backups then you dont have a problem and i would say upgrade just because its where all the attention is being focused, the older the version the more tricky support is, its good to stay current for a bunch of reasons imo [18:11] epinky: Thanks, I'll try that now [18:11] mc1, let me see if I can find a "how to" with pictures so you can get an idea hold on [18:11] DareDevil0: try typing in windows "net use * \\ /user:" it will then ask for a password and map the drive [18:11] I don't het that far, just the initial startup dialog with NOAPIC, NOLAPIC etc, then try to boot and it either fails or hangs [18:12] hy there [18:12] DareDevil0, are you doing this via a "Shared Folder" under Nautilus?

How do i change the font on the window? Dont know what its called, but probably boarder? The boarder the longest up on the window [18:22] paschu: alt-click/drag panel to bottom. drag the buttons down also.. its not hard [18:22] aeon-ltd: Sounds reasonable [18:22] Have to try [18:22] mc1: zepto 6224w - resno: that's a negative [18:22] mc1, take a look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions it may help in chaning the boot options for the live cd [18:22] Lungan: The titlebar?

[18:22] the fontsize [18:23] janisozaur, trying to lauch gftp produces a diffrent set of text, i think what happened is i change the default behavior for text files and its displaying what it should eb executing [18:23] kajo: No problem. By default I think the Mic level under Playback should be 0 or muted. Set it that way unless you want to be able to hear yourself though the speaker when you speak to the Mic. [18:23] janisozaur, how would i change the behavior of text files form doubleclick display to double click execute? [18:23] flan_suse, by using the root [18:23] coz_: I have been trough all of that many times unfortunately [18:24] alabd: try installing gadmin openvpn client [18:24] chmod +x filename [18:24] mc1, ooo and you have tried boot options for the live cd ? [18:24] innomen: i don't know about default, if it was the same file though, you could chmod it to executable, not readable [18:24] Can anybody tell me how to enable the default X-cursor in Linux Ubuntu? [18:24] help [18:24] within my terminal window [18:24] paschu: sooo remove one?

[18:25] how do i login as root then [18:25] janisozaur, so its totally a text file handleing issue [18:25] Yes, I've put all the options (APIC etc) off, VGA=771 or 779, safe graphics, all of it [18:25] epinky: No luck, though I'm not 100% sure what I should put as $ext_ip. So, I tried my actual external IP address, my router's IP, and my eth0 IP. Timeout on all of them [18:25] janisozaur, i'll tinker, thanks [18:25] erUSUL: did upgrade from command line, works better than before, and automagically allowed me to configure dual display as well! tyvm [18:25] Can anybody tell me how to enable the default X-cursor in Linux Ubuntu? [18:25] Hello.

[18:25] with farsight2 [18:25] how to i change to root user within my terminal session [18:26] anyone use the mid edition? [18:26] paschu, just say what the problem is :) [18:26] I just deleted something from my panel and now im not able to see which programs are open [18:26] malkomikis: sudo [18:26] Is there any channel for fluxbox questions on this server? [18:26] brooksaar: maybe there's some other rule messing around [18:26] malkomikis: type in "su" (if your root account does not have a password, first type in "sudo passwd" [18:26] malkomikis: sudo or sudo su to stay in root user mode [18:26] Can anybody tell me how to enable the default X-cursor in Linux Ubuntu? [18:26] i've got a file which format i don't know. "file" tells mir it's "data". what does it mean? [18:26] kyentei: the ubuntu way is sudo -i [18:26] malkomikis: see above [18:26] what is this error while apt-get update for ? [18:26] Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/universe/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch [18:26] Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [18:26] paschu, ok right click the panel Add to panel and add Window list [18:27] ah thanks [18:27] paschu: Right click on an empty space on the panel, click Add to Panel, and add the Windows List Applet to it. [18:27] stranger: it could be a plain text file with no extension [18:27] Janisozaur: My way works too. [18:27] ok new question, how do i get the "display/run/cancel" dialog when i double click an extensionless file back? somehow i set it to autmaticvally open with gedit, and i dont see anything like what i want in the open with properties tab [18:27] kyentei: i didn't say it doesn't... just there are consequences [18:27] janisozaur: Which are? [18:27] coz_: you are the man! [18:28] using xubuntu the panel at the top now has all icons to the left. is used to be that the status items where on the right side. now i can only find a configuration to move all icons in the bar to left, center & right but there seems to be no way to set these status icons apart [18:28] paschu, there you go :) [18:28] paschu, it may be helpful for you to become familiar with the available applets under that ? [18:28] kyentei: you start in different environment, you could diff the output of `printenv` and `/bin/pwd` [18:28] "There is no application installed for shell script files" [18:28] janisozaur: Ah, I see. Thanks :) And so we learn something every day. [18:29] janisozaur: Do you happen to know how I can use the default X-cursor too? =P [18:29] kyentei: also sudo uses sudoers [18:29] coz_: ya [18:29] innomen: display/run/cancel really only shows up for me when I try to edit an executable text file [18:29] no its no plain text, any idea? [18:29] kyentei: no, sorry [18:29] janisozaur: Okay, too bad :) Thanks though. [18:29] kyentei: its in a gtkmine file [18:29] how can i create a shortcut for my trashcan? [18:29] How do i get the battery tray icon in fluxbox? [18:29] innomen: the dialog is shown only for files that are both readable and execatuble simultanously [18:29] innomen: usually when I'm looking at things on a windows partition cause they are generally mounted as 777 by default [18:30] epinky: I have "iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 22 -j DROP" blocking port 22 from access on port 22, hence why I want to forward port 4852 to eth1, then change it to port 22. Sorry if I sound abit retarded, I'm not completely sure of my terminology [18:30] trism, how do i make it execute executables by default? [18:30] anyone familiar with gmusicbrowser? I added a bunch of songs over a network, and the network traffic when adding the songs didn't seem nearly as bad as when the app decided that a lot of the songs didn't have bitrate flags. I don't care about bitrate flags. Is there a way to stop its scanning? [18:30] innomen: oh, trism already said that [18:30] aeon-ltd: "whereis gtkmine" comes up with no results. [18:30] innomen: umask [18:30] Is there any way to force a filesystem check on my root directory [18:30] ? [18:30] how to create a shortcut for my trashcan on my desktop?? [18:30] janisozaur, oky [18:31] paschu: Press Alt+F2 and type gconf-editor, then enter [18:31] kyentei: home dir. show hidden files its called .gtkrc.mine [18:31] janisozaur, "cant find umask" [18:31] noamsml: fsck, you might want to check your / in offline mode [18:31] brooksaar: dont do that, just disable the service in that case, flush that rule and retry [18:31] innomen: err.. i believe it's environment variable or a config file [18:31] khensthoth: and then? [18:31] janisozaur, when yuo're sure can you get back to me? [18:31] innomen: try "apropos umask" [18:32] aeon-ltd: There's no such file. [18:32] paschu: Under apps > nautilus > desktop, tick the value trach_icon_visible [18:32] i dont get the choice dialog under any circumstances and assiations for exntentionless files "shell scripts" in this case, are blank [18:32] kyentei: find the Xdefaults file [18:32] do you know any good program with gui for recovering data I lost by mistakebly deleting ntfs partition and formatting like 40gbs of it with ext3? [18:32] what would i associate shell scripts with to run them on doubleclick? [18:33] paschu: *trash_icon_visible. Does it work? [18:33] from where can i download ubunut 9.04 please? on the site only ubuntu 9.10 i can find [18:33] innomen: did you mark them as executable? [18:33] khensthoth: yes it works. thanks. [18:33] aeon-ltd: No such file in my home directory either. I guess I'll just give up. [18:33] trism, not sure, how would i check? [18:33] paschu: No problem. [18:33] innomen: there is no way to run non-executable files by default... you could make them open with bash though, or your other preferred shell [18:33] trism, assume i didnt? [18:33] epinky: ok that works, many thanks :D But now, how do I stop people accessing externally via port 22, but so that I can still access internally via port 22 (I don't fancy writing -p 4852 every time i want to connect to the box via ssh) [18:33] how do I use CLI to recieve and install new updates? [18:33] Yancho, check the torrents [18:34] tonii: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [18:34] in compizconfig, how can i set one of the "heavy" animations for things like minimize ? [18:34] kyentei: wait! follow these commands in terminal first touch .Xdefaults [18:34] janisozaur, it would be a huge PITA to have a terminal window sitting open for every running process launched by launchy :P [18:34] dcider: on the page itself or torrent engines like piratebay? [18:34] tonii: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [18:34] if i enable animation addons and set the animation to random i sometimes get the heavier effects, but there's no way to set them ? [18:34] innomen: you'd use bash, not a terminal. there's a difference [18:34] thanks khensthoth and kyentei [18:34] aeon-ltd: Okay, it appeared. [18:34] brooksaar: just accept only for yourself, I mean for your remote IP [18:35] Yancho, any torrent engine [18:35] janisozaur, so it would simply run and not have a terminal window? like when you launch soemthing with alt f2? if so, how do i associate a file with that? [18:35] kyentei: then open it in a text editor and type 'Xcursor.theme: [then type the name of the cursor theme] [18:35] Yancho: check the ubuntu downloads pages again.. there should be links\ [18:35] innomen: try alt-f2, "bash" [18:35] innomen: right click/properties permissions tab, allow execution [18:35] Dr_Willis: im seeing 8.04 and 9.10 only ;S [18:36] Yancho, http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ [18:36] aeon-ltd: Do you happen to know the name of the default (black) cursor of X? [18:36] using xubuntu the panel at the top now has all icons to the left. is used to be that the status items where on the right side. now i can only find a configuration to move all icons in the bar to left, center & right but there seems to be no way to set these status icons apart [18:36] innomen: for the second part of your question... i think when you right click any file there is a tab somewhere in the properties. i'm not sure though [18:36] aeon-ltd: I believe in the very beginning, mac OS used this cursor too. [18:36] janisozaur, you fixed it [18:36] innomen: oh, nice :) [18:36] do you know any good program with gui for recovering data I lost by mistakebly deleting ntfs partition and formatting like 40gbs of it with ext3? [18:36] epinky: the remote IP is always changing as I have a Dynamic IP address and will be accessing from various different physical places [18:36] d4non: gpart [18:36] thanks BluesKaj [18:36] to alnuch a file by default, properties, open with, custome command, "bash" [18:37] epinky: unless i misunderstand [18:37] thanks guys [18:37] d4non: i don't think it has gui though. just that it would suit you perfectly [18:37] nobody can help me?

I hope you're right =] [18:39] i have placed a button on my panel that force kills a clicked application, what command is this if i wanted to launch it from a terminal? there is no properties on the shortcut to check for the actual command [18:40] I added a bunch of songs over a network, and the network traffic when adding the songs didn't seem nearly as bad as when the app decided that a lot of the songs didn't have bitrate flags. I don't care about bitrate flags. Is there a way to stop its scanning? [18:40] are no* [18:40] innomen: you can use kill [18:40] innomen: be sure to read man section about signals [18:40] innomen, kill -9, pkill, killall [18:40] janisozaur, i want to launch the gui [18:40] evening all [18:40] janisozaur, not type which app, kill assumes i know the name of the app in question [18:40] epinky: Righto, I'll play around with that abit. Thankyou for your help, it's appreciated [18:41] How can I grep two words in a file with both having to show up? I believe grep -E 'word1|word2' * is an or statement [18:41] kostkon, that does not look like it launchs the gui that looks like it'll kill everything currently running lol [18:41] innomen: wrong. it wants pid. for app name you'd use killall [18:41] is there a tutorial on how to write an init.d script?

I do clean installs [18:47] janisozaur, sometimes that does not work :) [18:47] Dr_Willis: yes, I did an upgrade but I don't believe it's related [18:47] janisozaur, plus sometimes i know its dead and dont want to wait for it to time out [18:48] innomen: in such cases i just use kill and the usual stuff, i alwas have at least one terminal window opened ;) [18:48] janisozaur, well yur justa big nerd :P :) [18:48] how to reconfigure mysql?

[21:21] Gdebi tells me "Error: a later version is already installed" is there a way to go arround this problem? [21:21] Curs0r: I know some of those devices need firmware to upload to the device, for example, but the driver is usually pretty explicit about not having it [21:21] when you try to use it [21:21] gpd, and remeber after you install pptp you need to reboot [21:21] cristo: First, (in terminal) " sudo mkdir /media/tmp/ " " sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/tmp " [21:21] AFK 5 min [21:21] Kevin`, I have an updated firmware file, but no firmware flash utility for this device === blabar is now known as afjafjueha === The_Toxic_Mite_ is now known as The_Toxic_Mite [21:22] Need a clue: I need to mount usbdevfs but it refuses to mount... yet the config option is set to Y in the kernel... any clues folks?

I'm running Jaunty [21:28] blacksun7, have you recovered the files yet? [21:29] ScabbyMadman, I've moved them from the affected drive, if that's what you're asking [21:29] nm-pptp-service-2179 log[main:pptp.c:314]: The synchronous pptp option is NOT activated -- then plugin dies... [21:30] blacksun7, and you want to say alter the name to something like *recovered? [21:30] userfriendly: I was just asking in general [21:30] ScabbyMadman, no, mostly they are archives and currently have the ####### recovered filename syntax [21:30] soreau: kk [21:30] I want to rename them according to their archived contents [21:30] so if a tar had a file in it name pictures [21:30] the tar would get renamed pictures and so on [21:31] hi - i've been having a trouble 9.10 and the FF java plugin - i seem to be getting the "grey box" for all java applets (and occasional freezes too).. i've tried with the sun and openjdk packages, and also a manual install from java.com - has anyone seen this problem? [21:31] blacksun7: you can parse tar -l output to construct the ame [21:31] blacksun7, some sort of conditional processing loop involving a 'for' statement comes to mind... [21:31] cristo: hmm, let me think... [21:32] ScabbyMadman and erUSUL : good ideas, I'm just not too strong myself [21:32] not all of them are tars as well, there are rars too [21:33] blacksun7, the issue appears to be you want to shorten the name... [21:33] no, i dont want to shorten the name [21:33] example: recovered rar was assigned the name #8734542 by ubuntu [21:33] blacksun7, sorry Im confused [21:33] it has pictures/ in it [21:34] i'd like the script to rename the #8734542 file to pictures.rar [21:35] blacksun7: you can just loop over the archives extract them in temp dir take a name from the contents rename. but it is not a oneliner so you will have to invest some time in it [21:35] Hey guys, my name is Martin. I'm from a Company called Arcacell. I'm a System admin and a recruiter at the same time, we started arcacell so we can hire people just like us. I was wondering what you guys think: Along with submitting CV's, you also have the option of taking a technical test, that will be forwarded to the client. What do you guys think? [21:35] blacksun7: also being different archive types make it harder [21:35] so blacksun7 Im guessing the #name as recovered somehow needs to be examined....to uniquely identify the contents [21:35] ScabbyMadman, yes [21:35] hey did any1 setup mac on linux [21:35] cristo: hmm, test what " ls -lh /media/tmp/boot/grub | grep core.img " produces?

[21:38] Well a while ago I changed my password and ever since ubuntu has been asking me to type in my OLD password to make my wireless work, any way to fix that? [21:38] afjafjueha: ? [21:39] blacksun7, the only option that comes tomind is that you might try to insert a ($date) directive when renaming the archives [21:39] i think the probblem is in the keyring, right? [21:39] blacksun7, does that make sense? [21:39] erUSUL, I want to create a folder to my home directory. now when i press it there is only one folder that says my name. when i right click the option to create a new folder isn't available [21:40] i installed tvtime and i get picture but no sound, ne1 knows how to fix this, i asked in the tvtime channel but no one answer thx [21:40] yea but I tried changing the keyring from a tutorial online but it didn't have the same options as my computer had [21:40] here's what i'm thinking: for loop; do unrar /tmp; mv current_archive name_of_/tmp_filename1; rm /tmp [21:40] and blacksun7 and a good place to look for examples are some log rolling scripts...scripts that roll over system logs [21:40] erUSUL, Can you help me? [21:41] afjafjueha, it seems you have a permissions problem [21:41] blacksun7, that s looks like a good start [21:41] afjafjueha: right click on a empty portion of the file browser "inside" the home folder [21:41] kostkon, okay how do I change it? [21:41] afjafjueha: Places>Home [21:41] erUSUL, yes I have done that [21:41] if you insert a ($date) variable in the renaming with a time qualifier youre in business [21:42] blacksun7, if you insert a ($date) variable in the renaming with a time qualifier youre in business [21:42] might have found what i needed here http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?s=b52eff0dbccfbcc1d8e0a80da72e7d5b&showtopic=843662&pid=591866370&st=15&#entry591866370 [21:42] afjafjueha: that should work. do not right click on a folder icon. do it on empty portion of the window [21:42] erUSUL, the option to create a new folder is visible but not available.

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [21:42] afjafjueha: grayed out ? [21:42] afjafjueha: ordinary users are not meant to create folder directly under /home [21:42] erUSUL, yes [21:43] too bad its in vb.. [21:43] blacksun7, that link is just about pastebin quality ;) [21:43] erUSUL, Any suggestions? [21:44] cankoy, okay but this one python tutorial suggests that I make a folder called python_examples in the home folder [21:44] afjafjueha: are you sure is your home folder ? [21:44] erUSUL, quite sure :) [21:45] EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEminem The best Rapper ! [21:45] afjafjueha: in terminal « mkdir ~/python_examples » [21:45] blacksun7, that stuff in the link doesent exactly look like bash shell code...but if you can glue it onto a linux box somehow..

[21:46] Is there any way to loopback my audio output to act as my microphone input? i want the sounds that come from my computer to be detected as a microphone for my webcam. [21:46] knoppies: you can set different wallpapers with compiz, don't know if wall copies that, would expect so [21:46] VCoolio, I will try that. Never thought about trying that, thanks. [21:46] arand: so what is the problem [21:46] ToastyMallows: go to the terminal and run the program 'seahorse' [21:46] knoppies: There is a way, but you will lose your desktop icons [21:47] soreau, Ive never really been a fan of desktop icons, so thats a small price to pay. Im listening. [21:47] knifeyspoony: ok what do i do from here [21:47] VCoolio, is there a way to force compiz to not run when on battery power....? [21:47] write a compiz daemon? [21:48] knoppies: by default nautilus draws the desktop, with one wallpaper and the icons; if you set it with compiz nautilus doesn't draw the desktop anymore; about laptops I know nothing [21:48] knoppies: To set a wallpaper for each viewport using gnome, disable Nautilus from drawing the desktop by setting the gconf key /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop to "false" with gconf-editor. Then, set the four wallpapers in ccsm>Wallpaper [21:49] VCoolio, I was thnking about a compiz daemon that would simply stop the compiz when on battery power and then restart compiz when plugged in [21:49] feasable? [21:49] cristo: hmm, not quite sure... Let's try this: " sudo mount --bind /dev /media/tmp/dev " [21:49] cristo: then " sudo chroot /media/tmp " [21:49] cristo: and then " grub-setup --directory=/boot/grub '(hd0)' " [21:50] ToastyMallows: Open the "Passwords: default" keyring, then double-click the entry for "Network secret for ____". You should see a toggle for "Password" where you can change it. [21:50] Thanks VCoolio and soreau I will try that. [21:50] Is there any way to loopback my audio output to act as my microphone input? i want the sounds that come from my computer to be detected as a microphone for my webcam. [21:50] ScabbyMadman: you could write any daemon-like script that measures energy and acts accordingly, but I'm not the one to ask [21:51] how do I see what version of xorg I have? [21:51] KnifeySpoony, thanks, also, do you know why 9.10 displays my login name on the toolbar and not my real name? [21:51] Hello. How can I tell wheter I'm running Ubuntu 32bits or 64bits, and can I switch to the latter without a full reinstall?

[21:53] why do you want to switch bit depths anyway? [21:53] yeah mines is x86_64 and it is 64 bit [21:53] unless you have 4 gigs of memory... [21:53] Use my 4th gig of ram, to mention one reason. [21:53] Indeed. [21:53] KnifeySpooney, You can get a male to male stereo plug. [21:53] hi. how do i get my remote desktop to work? i want to see what is going on on another pc from my pc. we're on the same LAN [21:53] is a package in a repository binary files? [21:54] seidos: if I got your question right -- yes. [21:54] knoppies: Hmm. I don't much want to go out and buy something when i think this can be done with software [21:54] yes but you can download the source [21:54] KnifeySpooney, you could build your own, but yea. Im not sure how to do it with software. I knew how to do it in winXP, but not in linux. [21:54] aegimius: I can't answer whatever remote desktop is, but you might try installing and configuring a VNC package === PL|Snoozing is now known as PhantomLink [21:55] I'm trying to set the loglevel of X11 in Jaunty. Can anybody help? [21:55] thanks robo [21:55] badp: so to build packages in a repository one would have to compile the source into binary files, then package the binary files into a "package" [21:55] indeed, seidos. I think the whole process is automated [21:55] seidos: thats how its done, yes [21:56] in a variation of the make, install, make install dance I have never done [21:56] I'm having trouble detecting my bluetooth headset in karmic. Anyone have any clue? [21:56] -typo [21:56] does anyone know if there is a video player for Ubuntu that has speed up/slow down support? [21:56] with voice modulation? [21:56] KnifeySpooney, I have looked for the same thing, i ended up needing to getting a usb soundcard, ($7 NZD) and looping thru 2 sound devices. [21:56] to prevent the squeaky voice thing? [21:56] Im having a problem with rhythmbox freezing when I try to open a Shoutcast stream; it worked earlier today though. terminal output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/322793/ [21:56] badp: entirely automated? i don't see how that's possible [21:56] narretgrez: vlc works on ubuntu too. [21:56] narretgrez, vlc? [21:56] vlc ftw. [21:56] erm [21:56] vlc has voice modulation support? [21:56] new here [21:56] can anyone help me? [21:57] seidos: I haven't done it myself, but I believe it can be. [21:57] narretgrez, you can move the sync around i know that.. [21:57] narretgrez, dont know, but VLC is so awsome I recomend you get it anyway. [21:57] aegimius: I know it's a bit outdated but basically it's the same for Karmic http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-use-remote-desktop-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html [21:57] knoppies: i really need the voice modulating thing tho [21:57] courpse: Hmm. sounds interesting, might try it [21:57] epinky danke [21:57] badp: ah, you mean the process of compiling and packaging can be automated [21:57] Danny_, whats your question? [21:57] has anyone been having issues with the grub file after the 9.10 update? [21:57] knoppies: but thakns for the rec [21:57] I'm no developer, check the wiki for more information :) [21:57] aegimius: bite :) [21:58] seidos: there're both binary and source packages in repo.s [21:58] My Xorg version output shows X.Org X Server 1.4.0.90, however the video card driver I'm trying to install specifies that I use XOrg version...X.Org 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, or 7.4 [21:58] narretgrez, Im not even sure what you mean by voice modulation, where it changes the pitch as you change the speed? [21:58] after reboot i get an error and come to this cmd line that has sh:grub> [21:58] Danny_, can you be more detailed? [21:58] knoppies: yes [21:58] any ideas on how that line maps with the other numbers? [21:58] narretgrez, yes it does that. [21:58] Then yes, narretgrez [21:58] I can't see why that would be a feature, at any rate :P [21:58] knoppies + badp : ohhh ok, thanks [21:58] i wish i could automate compiling, it was time consuming downloading and compiling svns for enlightenment, but i read the ver in the jaunty repository is unstable [21:58] specificially it says [21:58] It's more like a side effect [21:58] GNU BRUB version 1.97~1.97beta4 [21:58] ToastyMallows: Sorry, i don't think there's a way to display real name instead of your username on the taskbar. See this wishlist on Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-applet/+bug/475443 [21:58] so far it's been working pretty good, considering usually compilation has failed for me in the past [21:59] cristo: ping [21:59] seidos: there is a script for enlightenment, so you can get a coffee while the work is being done; also there are debs of a snapshot release, but those are a few months old now [22:00] scabbymadman: i've found a few threads where people were encountering this issue after a recent update [22:01] Does ubuntu 9.10 have cut/copy and paste that works even after you close what you are cutting/copying?

[22:01] i'm not sure how to boot from sh:grub> [22:01] VCoolio: you're right, forgot about the script [22:01] thats my main problem [22:01] afjafjueha: wow.. ok.. Does it have a U.S. spell checker instead of the default british one? [22:01] i think if i could get to the terminal i could fix it [22:02] Danny_, do you have a recovery option when the boot screen shows ? [22:02] no [22:02] hmmm [22:02] roboboy: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg [22:02] this seems to be specific to people who installed 9.10 to C: with wubi [22:02] patch-tag: gutsy isn't supported anymore; check old-releases repos [22:03] i installed tvtime and i get picture but no sound, ne1 knows how to fix this, i asked in the tvtime channel but no one answer thx [22:03] and most threads recommend the following command [22:03] solifugus, No clue, sorry [22:03] Danny_, wubi is way outta my ken [22:03] :( [22:03] could someone help me set up my bluetooth device? i'm having trouble detecting it [22:03] what can I type into at "terminal" to see what other computers are on my LAN?

[22:10] ScabbyMadman: Dual core 2ghz t5400 [22:10] Danny_, souds like Microsoft hosed your grub [22:10] ScabbyMadman: Is there any way to tell which systems would be afflicted? [22:10] aye [22:10] ScabbyMadman: 4 gb ram, and an nivdia with 512 gb ram [22:10] my thoughts exactly [22:11] General question, Im on 9.04, and was wondering if you guys recommend upgrading to 9.10 (clean install.) [22:11] Danny_: then you can uninstall your Ubuntu https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Uninstallation [22:11] ergh, afflicted? [22:11] yeah [22:11] How can I make a user to appear in the login list window?? I have some vsftpd user that appear and I really don't want to [22:11] wubi was a bad idea [22:11] :/ [22:11] why does ubuntu 9.10 random log me out!!!! [22:11] ergh, sorry Im lost with that question [22:11] By the ext 4 problem? [22:11] Anyone here know where to get driver for fingerprint scanner on Asus notebook. model M51VR I have been to Asus website and found this link http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us for source code .comes in three parts each is around 400 mB download. Which seems like very big files for drivers!. However they may contain different versions or something dunno am downloading first one now [22:11] knoppies, i had no problems on a clean install [22:11] knoppies: yes [22:11] Rosey have a look in the system logs [22:12] does anyone using ubuntu on laptop?? [22:12] knoppies: yeah i like 9.10 [22:12] thanks thiebaude, ctop. Will try it out then. [22:12] knoppies, ok, cool [22:12] where at [22:12] wasteland-ghost: yes, why? [22:12] thanks urbeg. === branstrom_ is now known as branstrom [22:12] knoppies: thats the best way to do it [22:12] I am using ubuntu on laptop [22:12] unless your response earlier you just said "ergh" not refering to me [22:12] 9.10 has issues...computer hangs at times and the screen redraw is terrible on my dell [22:12] 9.10 is alot faster than 9.04.. but 8.04 was more mature as system, specialy when speaking sound [22:12] Rosey there is a log viewer utility in system>administration as I recall === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [22:13] ctop, I updated a previous version with the update feature, never again. [22:13] How can I make a user to appear in the login list window?? I have some vsftpd user that appear and I really don't want to [22:13] ctop, creates more problems than are solvable. [22:13] dist-upgrade suck when 9.04->9.10 [22:13] 9.10 has some issues but give it a bit of time to get updated [22:13] 8.04 is solid [22:13] and no issues [22:13] I discovered, that my HP Pavilion dv7-3060us cannot wake up from suspend mode. It's freezes [22:13] What would cause my mouse to randomly click, and move the cursor around the screen like a rabid banshee? It's not a hardware thing, as it does it with many mice. I believe it is an ubuntu thing. [22:13] simplexio, always [22:13] I just did a clean install on an Asus laptop, 9.10 is doing fine, except for an issue with wifi that I solved, now I have an issue with the sound [22:13] knoppies: i never had issues updating with update manager but fresh install is alway recommended :-) [22:14] ScabbyMadman: went pretty smooth 8.04 -> 9.04 [22:14] And I tried the realtime kernel, now I can't boot with the generic kernel anymore... [22:14] 9.10 should have never been released so soon with bugs... [22:14] 9.10 goes great out of the box for me just had to add ati drivers and all good [22:14] offcoutse i had to rm .gnome oand so on but smooth [22:14] ctop, I fiddle alot, so I would probably get issues. But thanks. [22:14] does anyone else experience the same issue? [22:15] billisnice: of course 8.04 is solid *now*...its had over 18mo of LARGE QUANTITIES of testers [22:15] simplexio, never tried that ...but hen again I always tar up my ~ and .../src prior to an upgrade/install [22:15] "Nov 19 17:08:27 rosey-laptop bonobo-activation-server (rosey-30104): could not associate with desktop session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-K02UdcNvHc: Connection refused" [22:15] but fresh and clean install on 9.10 is much better thatn 9.04 in vbox system, no experince on native install lately [22:15] wasteland-ghost: my Asus A6m wakes from sleep fine [22:15] Oh, suspend mode, haven't tried that [22:15] for users not programmers, 8.04 is the way to go [22:15] wasteland-ghost, maybe not enough swap? [22:15] ScabbyMadman: 8gb swap, 4gb ram [22:16] but is 8.04 not becoming outdated? [22:16] billisnice, isnt 9.04 the major release? [22:16] hi all ! [22:16] it worked better than 9.10 [22:16] this is a bit OT for a support channel, foks [22:16] hi jackH [22:16] *folks [22:16] i hope 10.04 is solid... [22:17] 8.04 was better because it used alsa sound as default, pulseaudio starts to be ready nowdays.. [22:17] simplexio, couldnt agree more on that score [22:17] if you open firefox in 9.10 and look at the upper left there is a bug. It does not open fluidly.. [22:17] simplexio, wrong. 8.04 had pulse also, just didn't send the alsa sound through pulse. that cause a lot of probs [22:18] caused* [22:18] i mean pulseaduio offer some nice options, but it isnt that solid as alsa, but its getting better and one way to get there is have it default in ubuntu === osiris__ is now known as x4Fx53x49x52x49x [22:18] simplexio, pulse leaves a whole lot out, like an obvious way to use more than one sound card at the same time [22:18] simplexio, but it's the default, already, since 8.04 [22:18] Any ideas on what would cause a mouse to go berzerk? It's not a hardware thing. It has to be software. Mouse jumps around the screen and acts sluggish every once in a while [22:19] kostkon: uhh. when it wasnt default, i was sure that it was 8.04 [22:19] ScabbyMadman, Im sure I had it outputting to two at once before. [22:19] i dont see any bug with firefox opening? [22:19] see the slowness in one section [22:19] simplexio, and, the prob is that pulse is being blamed for everything [22:20] how can I execute command on startup in terminal? I want to start virtualbox headless machine and some custom scripts. [22:20] simplexio, there is a pulse-phobia when in the majority of cases the prob is with alsa or with the app [22:20] kostkon: my biggest problems have been allways puls, when it dies or something dosent support it from basic isntall [22:20] simplexio, and not with pulse per se [22:20] RichW, if you can point my nose to howto make pulse offer two sound cards at thesame time ...Id appreciate it [22:20] is there a linux program to defragment and shrink an NTFS partition without screwing up the data on it? [22:21] roboboy, hmmm [22:21] ScabbyMadman, Have you played with the official gui tools, padsp etc [22:21] does ubuntu need to be defragged? [22:21] gparted? [22:21] okies I check it out [22:21] not that i dont like pulse, its been ready for experimental long time. maybe niot for major release like ubuntu. but that is price to pay for it get ready === mrapplecomputer1 is now known as hello [22:21] RichW to be honest no === hello is now known as mrapplecomputer1 [22:21] Julia_: i was able to run virtualbox headless before, cant remmeber how though, but it is toltaly possible [22:21] ScabbyMadman, That may be the problem, they offer more complex options. [22:22] simplexio, yeah, again i suppose it means the alsa driver is buggy. and if an app doesn't work with alsa, and thus not with pulse, but tries to access the device directly. again not pulse's fault. [22:22] hola [22:22] how can I do it on startup? [22:22] urbeg, he was ashing about an util thatwould work fro linux on an NTFS file system [22:22] exit [22:22] RichW I will look at it === PhantomLink is now known as ^Phantom^ [22:22] RichW, thanks [22:22] Well I have exhausted everything I could find and every solution says it works, yet still no wifi iface. I proclaim the trendnet tew-645ub to be totally nonworking with 9.10 === ^Phantom^ is now known as PhantomLink [22:23] how can i get the sip client option in empathy? [22:23] can't believe it... blur plugin finally works with fglrx! (catalyst 9.11) [22:23] little better pulse controller that shows features in english, not nerd for networks options and stuff. then it hit major time. + offcourse some easy release for windows to handle pulse streams easily would be killer app [22:23] i don't have that listed under clients [22:23] Curs0r, what driver loads for your usbWifi device? [22:23] yeah, but just out of curiosity does a ubuntu only system need to be defragged or is that even possible [22:23] does ubuntu have a wgetpaste equivalent? [22:23] most of the usb stuff is atmel based if Im not wrong? [22:23] Julia_: http://www.ubuntu-howto.info/howto/how-to-execute-a-command-program-or-script-at-startup-init-mini-howto [22:23] ScabbyMadman, it's a ralink rt2870 chip [22:24] i installed tvtime and i get picture but no sound, ne1 knows how to fix this, i asked in the tvtime channel but no one answer thx [22:24] Curs0r, well then [22:24] the native ralink driver reports 100% ok but no iface and same with ndiswrapper [22:24] Curs0r, I guess youve seen the ralink website? [22:24] if I disconnect and reconnect my USB keyboard, my custom modifier key setup is lost (swapping ctrl and caps lock, etc). this started happening with 9.04 and hasn't been fixed in 9.10, anyone know what's wrong/how I can fix it? [22:25] kostkon: like i had 0 times problems with alsa, and pulse like 10 times on same hardware over little over two years... ofcourse source of problem couöd be that pulse show alsa problem but anyway. i havent got anyproblems with pulse on 9.10 [22:25] simplexio, no probs on 9.10. that's good then :) [22:26] What cracks me up the most is that ralink has a firmware but no flash utility [22:26] kostkon: but i use 9.10 in vbox only.. and its faster than 9.04. like i said havent run linux in native desktop for few months. [22:26] hello everyone [22:26] does anyone know where totem downloads srt subtitle files to? [22:26] simplexio, aha [22:27] I have downloaded the file but want to place it in the same folder [22:27] kostkon: offcourse what i want currently isnt ubuntu mainstream. like latest geos lib + postgis + postgresql + pgadmin etc.. [22:27] is there a sane way to run multiple memcache daemons on ubuntu? [22:27] simplexio, :) [22:28] Why dont you guys just killall pulseaudio when you dont want it? [22:28] kostkon: but i still have 9.04 in my fileserver, no X, no sound, no problems. just soft raid + crypt etc. [22:28] Curs0r, did you see the thread in the ubuntuforums? [22:28] RichW, you can disable it, with pasuspender [22:28] ScabbyMadman, yes I think so [22:29] kostkon, that also :) [22:29] Curs0r, this one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=960642 [22:29] hey may [22:29] to neurochrome: does it not load them from the same location as the video file [22:29] I want to start compain aimed to save GIMP in Ubuntu (developers going to remove GIMP from standart distribution in Ubuntu 10.04). How many people will support me? === may is now known as Guest2682 [22:29] RichW: well if pulse dies once in month for bug that i can send bug report or so, it isnt that big problem [22:30] ArtemZ: what is replacing gimp ? [22:30] ArtemZ: it will still be in the main repository, just not installed by default...just sudo apt-get install gimp [22:30] simplexio: they going to replace it by f-spot. ITS CRAZY [22:30] why would they remove gimp??? [22:30] f-spot? they not really going to switch with that? [22:31] urbeg: something to do with f-spot being able to handle all normal photo editing tasks anyway and thus duplicating functionality [22:31] man this is cool [22:31] ArtemZ: didnt know that you could use f-spot to draw+etc.. . [22:31] replacing gimp? [22:31] i just wrote a shell script that logs me in to a network device and automatically sends all the login info [22:31] ArtemZ: Ì won't, it's a frustrating world for just some beginner's easy painting; [22:31] because these things won't accept keypairs [22:31] *sigh* gimp will still be in the repos, still be in main, still be on dvd. it will not be installed by default because it is more powerful & difficult than the average user needs [22:31] http://digg.com/linux_unix/Gimp_Will_Be_Removed_From_Ubuntu_10_04_The_Lucid_Lynx [22:32] ahh.. f-spot to handle "basic" photo editing.. not bad idea. gimp has been allways full featured and quite big suite [22:32] yeah suppose they are trying to keep everything as simple as possible to use for the average user [22:32] Hi all, I created a VPN connection and it tells that I am connected. However I can not access the network, nor PING. Any idea please [22:32] why dont they make a stripped out user friendly version of gimp? [22:32] !pl [22:32] Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [22:32] ScabbyMadman, hadn't seen this one, trying it thanks [22:33] lol like a "Paint" version of gimp [22:33] #ubuntu.pl [22:33] there are pros and cons for aiming default install for children [22:33] !de [22:33] 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. [22:33] lukasz_: /join #ubuntu-pl [22:33] urbeg, yeah thats it [22:33] They think average user is too stuped to use GIMP. But as for me they should better replace it by tuxpain at least [22:33] lol @ tuxpain [22:33] lol @ f-spot [22:34] ArtemZ: lol :P [22:34] ArtemZ: thats true. basic isntall should just worl, like for basic install all confuration wixards should just work [22:34] If I install a package using "dpkg -i foo.deb" will synaptic know about it? [22:34] what the f is f-spot? never heard of it. [22:34] reminds me of those golf tutorials, "average golfer will do this wrong, this wrong etc" [22:34] Hi, I'm trying to get my bcm94311mcg wireless card to work with karmic - anyone able to help? [22:34] ArtemZ: the idea is that the average user probably doesn't need to do much graphics editing, for the rest of us, we can easily install whatever we want from the repos [22:34] userfriendly: that's photo manager written on mono [22:35] but there should be way to configure system from comandline and have [22:35] userfriendly: it's a tool for organizing pictures, it comes with ubuntu [22:35] userfriendly, its a photo utility [22:35] youngblood: yes, that's the idea with debs; that's why compiling isn't recognized unless you use checkinstall [22:35] hi [22:35] oh. something mom & dad would want on their machines. i see. [22:35] plug in a camera and it wants to load [22:35] suspend mode won't resume on ubuntu! please help! [22:35] userfriendly, quizas [22:35] yeah plug in anything an f-spot want to use it [22:36] urbeg, almost true...;) [22:36] VCoolio, thanks [22:36] trism: maybe gimp is too hard for average user as grafic editor, but F-SPOT isnt editor at all. Thay shoud keep some editor as I beleive [22:37] f-spot cant even resize a photo [22:37] bonne matain Blackjack [22:37] yep [22:37] well it can crop and auto color photos [22:37] not resize [22:37] but thats about it [22:37] it needs fair bit of work on adding features [22:37] hi [22:38] Blackjack, parle vous? [22:38] yes ? what ? [22:38] !fr | ScabbyMadman [22:38] ScabbyMadman: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [22:38] RichW: you sure f-spot can't resize? [22:38] merci ardchoille [22:38] At first of all its written on mono and that's possible may cause patent problems with microsoft (because mono is based on their .NET) [22:38] I was merly greeting a french cousin [22:38] bradland, cant find nothing [22:38] in which folder is the default wallpapers in ubuntu 9 10? [22:38] ScabbyMadman: you're welcome :) [22:39] y'a un français ? [22:39] and from a Scottsman [22:39] ;) [22:39] anyone else noticing this,,, middle mouse wheel was scrolling,,, after updates it does not scroll any more? (laptop with USB Mouse) [22:39] if you count cropping as resizing then it can [22:39] Signori [22:39] ArtemZ, No proof of that, nothing gone through courts. [22:39] in which folder is the default wallpapers in ubuntu 9 10? [22:40] RichW: the resize feature doesn't work as you would expect. Rather than resizing the photos in your photo library, f-spot prompts you to resize when you'd expect to, like when you email a photo [22:40] so why is Ubuntu removing gimp anyway? [22:40] ScabbyMadman, nope, that didn't work either [22:40] mrXX: /usr/share/backgrounds ? [22:40] join #ubuntu-fr [22:40] arf [22:40] in any case Ubuntu developers should better remove mono than GIMP :( [22:40] ardchoille thans brother [22:40] !ot | we're getting a bit offtopic here...

[22:40] bradland, ahh its on export [22:41] When I go to facebook.com Firefox tells me it needs to download a plugin but doesnt tell me which one. It fails to find the right plugin, so how do I work out which plugin to manually install? I already have Java, Helix, Shockwave Flash and Silverlight so I'm wondering what else it could be [22:41] Curs0r, remins me what we were dealing with on your ubuntu setup? [22:41] I would like to install ubuntu from non installable live cd using debootstrap on a ppc g4, can you suggest me a guide? [22:41] JonathanEllis: you should install Adobe flash as I think [22:41] JonathanEllis: Have you installed flash? [22:41] ubntu 9.10, ralink's native rt2870sta driver, a trendnet tew-645ub wifi adapter [22:42] I already have a plugin called Shockwave Flash which I guess I got when I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras [22:42] trism: this is the ubuntu channel. the topic frequently includes helping with packages included (supported) with ubuntu [22:42] Curs0r, the sta frover I believe is Not for the usb stuff [22:42] Curs0r, the sta driver I believe is Not for the usb stuff === Julia_ is now known as Janhouse [22:42] there is another driver for usb [22:42] ScabbyMadman, well the file I editied was full of usb dev ids [22:43] can someone look at this rather self-explanatory picture and tell me what's wrong with the monitor/desktop on the right?

[22:55] bostikforever: i recommend backing up to an external hdd [22:55] urbeg, I'll check it for you, wait a sec [22:55] I've tried just about everything [22:55] bostikforever: (your home directory) [22:55] JonathanEllis: Maybe, try uninstalling the Adobe package and see. you can always reinstall it if that isn't the problem [22:55] bostikforever: and then doing a clean install with 9.10 [22:55] urbeg, I have the mp3 profile and it came with one of the gstreamer-plugins packages [22:55] my card bcm94311mcg just won't work [22:55] serengeti, thanks [22:56] urbeg: it seems to be in the gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse package [22:56] donald_, use the STA driver' [22:56] urbeg: libmp3lame0 [22:56] erUSUL: it doesnt seem to be what I want...i dont want a dropdown, perhaps there is an option in this? it is purely for aesthetics, so its nop big deal :P [22:56] trism, i dont think i have that one installed [22:56] JonathanEllis: Also, make sure you're running the latest firefox from the repos [22:56] it's not coming up in the hardware drivers tool [22:56] Hello, I am installing a VPN Client which needs to be compiled in the kernel, which packages can I download to get the linux kernel source? [22:56] will that keep my apps? [22:56] I'm running karmic [22:56] urbeg, try -ugly [22:57] bostikforever: well, ubuntu will load up from scratch with the default apps [22:57] JonathanEllis: And I feel that it would be worth it to you to try and get the graphics running correctly on maybe Jaunty, this channel is the best place to ask questions [22:57] bostikforever: (this would have happened anyway) [22:57] I use Jaunty and it is awesome [22:57] bostikforever: but you'll need to use the software centre or apt-get in the command line to tweak your PC [22:57] urbeg, gstreamer-plugins-ugly-multiverse [22:58] anye know which packages i need to recompile the kernel? [22:58] it depends on liblame so it's probably that one [22:58] serengeti, i dont have that one installed. i'll try it here no [22:58] w [22:58] donald_, use the STA driver' http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php [22:58] good luck :) [22:59] ardchoille: That was going to be my next question. I installed swiftfox from the http://getswiftfox.com/builds/debian unstable non-free repo and for some reason it doesnt want to update. By the way, I spent more than 40 hours trying to get graphics to work correctly on both Jaunty and Karmic before going back to good old Hardy. [22:59] seaphor: do you know how I install that ? I've already downloaded it, but I don't know how to install [22:59] JonathanEllis: It's a good idea to stick with Ubuntu packages, you have installed a debian package and these two distros are different. Never mix distro packages [23:00] I recently installed unbutu 9.10 and I am very happy with it. I have used linux a couple of years ago but felt that I have more need for it now. I got a question though. It feels like when I open a folder (GUI) and drag it around it feels like it's a bit "lagish" like it's not smooth. Is it like this in ubuntu or can I change any setting to improve the "smoothness" ? I have a Sony vaio laptop VGN FW 21E which have 4gb [23:00] ram dual 2 core 2.26ghz and 256mb ATI video card so don't think that it's my computer that is to slow? [23:00] donald_, get all updates first, then check System>Admin..>Hardware Drivers... [23:00] seaphor: btw, my card doesn't show up with lspci [23:00] serengeti, yeah it was that one. you will save me a lot of converting. thanks [23:00] np :) [23:00] JonathanEllis: The only updates you will get are the ones coming from the official ubuntu repos and any PPA's that you have in your sources [23:00] weebl: kernel-headers buil-essential I guess [23:00] donald_, do lshw -C network the "C" is capital [23:01] How do you do a square cropping on Gimp? [23:01] archoille: So why dont I get updates from the swiftfox repo? I have it in my sources. [23:01] Pupeno: with Shift [23:02] serengeti: it doesn't seem to that. [23:02] JonathanEllis: maybe there haven't been any updates? Regardless, you are using a debian repo in your sources and that's a bad thing to do on Ubuntu [23:03] seaphor: nothing seemed to happen with that command [23:03] Pupeno: you can also in the Rectangle Select dialog set a fixed aspect ratio of 1:1 [23:03] donald_, do sudo lshw -C network the "C" is capital [23:03] Pupeno, but it does: if you keep shift pressed while making a selection, it will turn out square [23:03] Pupeno: then Image/Crop to Selection [23:03] it doesn't work if you press shift before starting the crop. [23:04] I am running gnome. what applications do I need so I can use the cornerns of my screen as shortcuts for effects like Scale and stuff? [23:04] seaphor: that's what I did - it showed 'pci sysfs' then 'scsi' and the cd rom spun up, then nothing [23:05] mrqismrx: compizconfig settings manager [23:05] donald_, is this a laptop? [23:05] help [23:05] ardchoille: There have been updates but none have ever been downloaded. I will remove the repo I guess. Trouble is firefox is just so damn slow! I was keen to get it faster any way I could. [23:06] seaphor: hardware drivers only shows three different options for my nvidia - I have version 185 enabled ... and yes it's a laptop (Presario V6120US) [23:06] JonathanEllis: have you considered using Chromium instead of firefox? [23:06] JonathanEllis: May I pm you? I have some things you can do to make ff faster [23:06] umut: What do you want help with? === umut is now known as kan_ikon [23:06] serengeti thanks [23:06] What is the best Terminal-Based msn client? === kbrosnan_ is now known as kbrosnan [23:07] ardchoille: Oh. I have just tried to download the deb file for the latest version directly from the swiftfox website and the package installer reports a dependency is not satisfiable: libgtk2.0-0. Yes of course you can pm me. Thanks. [23:07] djaerobie: don't think there is one [23:07] djaerobie: centericq [23:07] ok. ty [23:07] donald_, there is a "wireless button" somewhere, or a fn+ key to enable/disable it,,, make sure that its ON [23:07] djaerobie: try asking to the bot in #ubuntu-bots too [23:07] Theiya: I have been waiting for google chrome for ever it feels like. From what I read I understood chromium is not really ready yet. [23:07] i have been trying centerIM, but it dont support my language caracthers [23:07] ok [23:07] mrqismrx: you're welcome :) [23:08] JonathanEllis: that is one of the reasons we don't add debian reops to ubuntu sources :) [23:08] ardchoille: OK [23:08] JonathanEllis: I am currently using it on Ubuntu 9.10 right now [23:08] djaerobie: http://pebrot.sourceforge.net/ [23:08] seaphor: yes, there's a switch on the front, I have switched it back and forth with no effect (doesn't really say which is on, but I'm assuming towards the light/wireless icon is on) [23:08] JonathanEllis, it's been working pretty well for me so far... but I still like firefox more [23:08] JonathanEllis: that dependency maybe in the ubuntu repos for you but I think the name is different [23:09] Theiya: Trouble is I like adblock plus and xmarks that I get in Firefox even if it does take an age to load pages [23:09] donald_, check sudo lshw -C network with it in both positions [23:09] JonathanEllis: Fair enough! :) Just thought I would mention the option. [23:09] jojo LA m4v [23:10] Does anyone know if there exist a workout planner app for linux? [23:10] jojo my lady m4v [23:10] xD [23:10] or rather - a free one? line openfitness - but free [23:10] how can I bind compiz settings manager effects like scale to corners of my screen? [23:10] seaphor: same output in both positions [23:10] Theiya: : I guess I will lose nothing by trying it [23:10] nothing donald_ ? [23:10] seaphor: nothing [23:11] JonathanEllis: Would you like me to PM you the information I got about it? [23:11] i know it works,,, i have that on my mini... donald_ [23:11] Theiya: Yes please [23:11] donald_, i sec... [23:11] seaphor: you're running karmic? [23:12] What's the command to copy a file to another location? [23:12] JonathanEllis: chromium is supposed to be a very ice and fast web browser, I've never tried it but you might want to. I have ways of speeding up firefox if you're interested [23:12] donald_, karmic, jaunty, and ibex,, [23:12] dallas: cp x/file c/location [23:12] cp [source] [destination] [23:13] yeah that looks a lot nicer lol [23:13] seaphor: hmm - don't know why mine won't work [23:13] thank you [23:14] seaphor: part of the problem is that there are a million posts for 'possible' solutions on the net, but it's time-consuming and luck of the draw to find the right one - from my experience, anyway. [23:14] hello 2all [23:14] question [23:15] donald_, do this,,, sudo lspci > lspci.txt && sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit lspci.txt [23:15] how can i set up pidgin to auto connect to freenode irc server and enter into several rooms? [23:15] * genii hands rsarson a coffee [23:15] donald_, all 1 command [23:15] seaphor: command not found [23:15] djura-san: might want to try xchat if you want irc-specific features like that [23:16] djura-san: or xchat-gnome (which i find easier to use) [23:16] okay, so. I need to edit and save a file that is in a directory where my user account doesn't have necessary permissions. How would I open the file as root to save this file? [23:16] donald_, what? [23:16] seaphor: sorry - typo [23:16] Dallas: sudo [23:16] seaphor: done [23:16] djura-san: you can add your irc.freenode.net account under manage accounts then just add a chat [23:16] i have preinstalled pidgin so thats why im asking. I would like to use xchat but that is just bother... [23:16] im lazy :) [23:17] donald_, paste the link it give here [23:17] maco: sudo edit sources.list? [23:17] Dallas: "edit" isnt a command [23:17] maco: right. [23:17] Dallas: youll need to put your editor's name there [23:17] http://pastebin.com/f69ad910d [23:17] "sudoedit" is, though [23:17] Why won't brightside work for me? I install it properly but when I am starting it by typing brightside in alt + f2 nothing happends and it's not located in the system preferences as I have read it should be [23:17] LjL: oooooooooooh shiny [23:17] donald_, few secs.. [23:17] !sudoedit [23:17] To edit files with !superuser access using the user's standard editor (as set in the EDITOR !shell variable) and its normal configuration, the command « sudoedit » is available. It creates a local copy of the file, and runs the editor with the user's permissions. [23:17] Dallas : you familiar with vi? === ring1 is now known as ring0 [23:17] maco: I'm trying to do http://mok0.wordpress.com/2009/05/25/ubuntu-on-the-dell-mini-10-2/ [23:18] iski4kix2: no [23:19] seaphor: card's not listed, is it? [23:19] can anyone help me fix the blue problem in my videos? i jsut installed w32codecs but did not help.. i have many other codecs too installed.. [23:19] Dallas do you have gedit installed? [23:19] type gedit [name of file] [23:20] if you get an error just type in the command to get gedit [23:20] then you can sudo gedit [name of file] [23:20] "sudo gedit" is a bad idea, iski4kix2. [23:20] either use "sudoedit", or "gksudo gedit" [23:21] !gksudo [23:21] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [23:21] seaphor: would that be because the driver's not installed? I know it's bcm94311mcg because I've seen the card itself and had it working in previous distros [23:21] seaphor: ... and in windows [23:22] mrqismrx: it should be automatically started after you install it, but you need to configure it with brightside-properties first before it will actually do anything [23:22] with karmic, double click on the volume icon won't mute/turn on the volume. is there a way to reset it as it was before? it was quite handy... [23:23] good to know thanks [23:23] I have a program that refuses to uninstall (Sound-Juicer) error is at http://fpaste.org/GKoP/ [23:23] trism yes it says that I should config it in system preferences and click on Screen Actions but it's not listed there and I tried to do another "sudo apt-get install brightside" but it said it was already installed aswell === sharperguy2 is now known as sharperguy [23:24] mrqismrx: yeah, I didn't notice an menu item for it either, just alt+f2 and type brightside-properties to bring up the configuration dialog === CallMe_JC is now known as EasyTUX [23:24] I'm having problems with squid, anyone who could look at my config? [23:24] trism thanks! the article I found only said to type brightside but not when I added -properties as you said it worked fine! thanks man [23:26] seaphor: I have to run to class in about 10m ... another part of the problem - not enough time :( [23:27] donald_, ok,, still looking === yofel_ is now known as yofel [23:30] I am having problems uninstalling Song bird... it didnt install right, an ow I cant get rid of it [23:30] seaphor: would you be willing to continue helping me with this problem? I could send you my email address. I'll be back in about 3.5hrs - I find it hard to switch 'helpers' all the time :) [23:30] donald_, i have seen this ONCE... do you have a dual boot system? [23:30] seaphor: no, I don't [23:30] Hi [23:30] Does any1 here know something about hacking ? [23:31] hacking what? [23:31] donald_, yes,, you can find me in my channel anytime... just /join #seaphor [23:32] seaphor: AWESOME!! I will definitely hit you up for more help soon - I'd hate to have to switch back to windows, but it has to work - you know?

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:35] where are the symbolic links for python created at? [23:35] I messed my symbolic link up for python somehow [23:35] smokie: Is the VPN you want to configure already created, or are you trying to set up a new one?
