thiebaude | !emerald | 00:08 |
ubottu | emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 00:08 |
pipegeek | drink_sti: and it depends on the version | 00:09 |

thiebaude | what is the supported alternative to emerald? | 00:10 |
drink_sti | pipegeek: im on the vmware site and there are so many options. which one should i use to run this program? | 00:10 |
syrius | how safe is it to install a program with a install script .sh to install it with? | 00:11 |
randomusr | I-am-On-WinXP; I'm sorry to hear that | 00:11 |
syrius | it downloads the programs need to comoile | 00:11 |
pipegeek | drink_sti: what do you want to do? If you want to set up a new vm (if you don't have a prebuilt vm image) you probably want vmware server, which is free as in beer | 00:12 |
syrius | randomusr there is no windows version for current cinepaint | 00:12 |
Sogorukuhn | One more question about the wallpaper. I have 2 monitors at the office and the nvidia driver. Both monitors are configured in the nvidia driver as 1 and when I set a wallpaper it looks not so good. Is there another way as dublicate the wallpaper with gimp to one doupblewallpaper? | 00:12 |
randomusr | syrius? do what? | 00:12 |
drink_sti | i just want to run ubuntu on my laptop to see what hardware problems i might have before i stick with it. | 00:14 |
pipegeek | drink_sti: in that case, you don't want vmware | 00:14 |
I-am-On-WinXP | lol | 00:14 |
jeffmr | is there a preference panel for disabling bluetooth on startup | 00:15 |
pipegeek | drink_sti: if you install ubuntu in a virtual machine, it'll be running on virtualized hardware, and you won't find out about issues with the real hardware | 00:15 |
pipegeek | drink_sti: Download the livecd image, and boot off it. You'll get to a full desktop, and won't have to install anything | 00:15 |
pipegeek | then, if you want to install it, just double-click the 'install' icon | 00:15 |
BasketCase_Eee | this is probably a dumb question but in Netbook Remix 9.10 how do I organize or sort the icons for programs? | 00:15 |
dr3mro | hey guys what do you thnk about Listen Music Player is it good | 00:16 |
pcbuilder97 | why would my webcam work with youtube but not work with ustream?? dont they use the same plugin? | 00:16 |
drink_sti | pipegeek: i would like to set up dualboot but from what i read theres alot more to do than say if u have xp and vista. im still real new to linux and would like to mess around with it. | 00:16 |
pipegeek | drink_sti: sure. What I'm suggesting is that, if you want to mess around, you boot off the CD and don't install it at all | 00:17 |
pipegeek | you'll have a full linux desktop, and you can install programs (into memory---they disappear when you reboot), browse the web, what have you | 00:17 |

BasketCase_Eee | hmmm, now that I look harder it appears that the games and favorites tabs are the only ones that aren't sorted. the favs I can kinda sort by removing and adding them in the proper order (kinda lame) and the games seem to be sorted by an undisplayed category which I would like to change | 00:20 |

MadSeaDog | Is it possible to isolate some bad sector and create a partition with onlygood sector? | 00:29 |
treebuey | trrrr | 00:29 |
Snausages | MadSeaDog: that should already be happening under the radar, unless the bad sector list has overflowed on that drive | 00:30 |
MadSeaDog | Snausages, okay... if Gparted tell me the hard drive has 59 bad sector... and windows refuse to boot is it overflowed? | 00:31 |
treebuey | hiya. My fonts are messed up for firefox menus after the last update. also, a cyrillic like character is showing up whenver i am at a password prompt WITHIN xwindows. any ideas? | 00:31 |
Snausages | MadSeaDog: I don't know how gparted makes its count. Typically the host PC can't see any bad sectors at all, even when there are some, because the drive hardware already reallocated them to spare sectors | 00:32 |
Snausages | MadSeaDog: I guess the thing to do is pull the SMART status for that drive, see if you have a matching count of 59 reallocations | 00:32 |
MadSeaDog | Snausages, how can i do that? | 00:33 |
arand | How can I force a window to a specific viewport despite it being started/refocussed/changing? the compiz settings only seem to do that when the application starts. | 00:33 |
Snausages | MadSeaDog: dunno off the top of my head | 00:33 |
ubuntu | does ubuntu 9.10 comes with a irc. client by default? I cant find one | 00:33 |

Vonnick | Yes it does | 00:34 |
Snausages | MadSeaDog: maybe try installing smartmontools? | 00:34 |
Vonnick | You have to skip the initial account creation and do it from the menu | 00:34 |
Vonnick | Then there's an IRC option | 00:34 |

oxy_ | I downloaded the nvidia video card drivers from nvidia and the file is a .run file (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.42-pkg2.run). How do I install this? | 00:36 |
Snausages | MadSeaDog: in modern drives, when a sector goes bad the HDD reallocates it to a spare sector before the host PC is ever aware of it. So if your machine is telling you there are 59 bad sectors... that makes me think it may actually be 59 + all the ones that the SMART system has already compensated for... | 00:36 |

wick94 | how can i fix tht | 00:41 |
oxy_ | arand: when i do the "sudo ./file.run" it says it can't install because X server is running. Also, I thought I was was supposed to go to hardware drivers to get nvidia driver working, but there were no options there. Should I instead check in synaptic? | 00:41 |
SuBsAm | gnufreex on line tv channels | 00:41 |
arand | oxy_: first go to tty: ctrl+alt+F2 (+F7 to get back) then do "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" | 00:41 |
gnufreex | try Miro | 00:41 |

wick94 | i have a problm with synaptic manager | 00:42 |
arand | oxy_: hmm, well it might be something odd with your card model... | 00:42 |
yacc_ | MadSeaDog, mke2fs for example has the option -c => slow | 00:42 |
MadSeaDog | yacc_, do you think it worth try saving it? or direct buy another? | 00:42 |

gnufreex | SuBsAm , did you tried Miro Internet TV. It is in software centar | 00:43 |
oxy_ | arand: It's a fairly common card. Geforce GTX 260 | 00:43 |
yacc_ | In almost any normal situation it's not worth trying to safe it. | 00:43 |
MadSeaDog | yacc_, it's a ntfs partition... | 00:43 |
SuBsAm | gnufreex not working | 00:43 |
yacc_ | MadSeaDog, modern hdds (as in the last 15 years or longer) do black sector remapping automatically. | 00:44 |
oxy_ | arand: Maybe there is nothing in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers because when I first opened that i didn't have a live internet connection? | 00:44 |
seidos | when i paste text from vim to firefox, firefox freezes. it's quite a bit of text though | 00:44 |
Snausages | MadSeaDog: seeing so many bad blocks counted from any tool would scare me into replacing the disk | 00:44 |
yacc_ | So even if you have an unrecoverable error, when you overwrite the sector it should go good again, because the hdd remaps it to a reserved area of blocks. | 00:44 |
seidos | i'm using firefox 3.6 beta 1 though | 00:44 |
yacc_ | "unrecoverable read error" | 00:44 |
yacc_ | If you have an unrecoverable write error that usually means that the hdd has run out of replacement sectors. | 00:45 |
oxy_ | arand: Ill figure it out. Thanks for the help. | 00:45 |
arand | oxy_: might be, in that case you could try installing from synaptic instead to do it the "ubuntu way" | 00:45 |
seidos | wasn't a freeze, just took like 3 minutes to paste the text. I think it's like 3 paragraphs | 00:45 |
yacc_ | So if you don't happen to be in the nowhere, with the next PC shop hundreds of miles away, ... | 00:45 |
oddhyena | did you try doing a hard format on the hard disk? | 00:45 |
MadSeaDog | yacc_ so simply make it rearrenge the partition might be good enough? | 00:45 |
yacc_ | oddhyena, wrong decade ;) | 00:46 |
MadSeaDog | Snausages, would have tough the same... | 00:46 |
seidos | and it pasted a lot of blank lines | 00:46 |
=== Ajr_ is now known as Ajr |
oddhyena | doesn't writing zeros to the entire disk count as a format? | 00:46 |
yacc_ | MadSeaDog, no you've got the equivalent of a car engine that is producing a thick black fume behind the car. | 00:46 |
yacc_ | oddhyena, no, for real lowlevel formats you need usually vendor specific utilities. | 00:47 |
yacc_ | MadSeaDog, It's also an economic question. | 00:47 |
yacc_ | Madkiss, OTOH, you can get 500GB hdds nowadays for ~40€ easily. | 00:47 |
neal__ | hey, i have an interesting question for someone | 00:48 |
MadSeaDog | yacc_, hehe i see the picture! i guess gonna go for a new one... | 00:48 |
nikolam | hm, how do you guys make monitor actually tirn itself off when screen saver stars, instead of just being black | 00:48 |
neal__ | is it possible to record a voice conversation using a modem | 00:48 |
darrend | does anyone know if this pulseaudio nonsense is being addressed by the devs? | 00:48 |
darrend | (i.e. it crashing apps every 20 mins) | 00:48 |
oddhyena | i already asked about the modem recording a long time ago and got no answer XD | 00:48 |
neal__ | oddhyena, thats too bad | 00:49 |
neal__ | i'm sure it can be done, just now sure how | 00:49 |
plainas | neal__ modem stands for modulator/demodulator, unless your modem comes with a recorder (which sounds unlikely) the answer is no | 00:49 |
arand | darrend: that is probably a specific issue, is it reported as abug? | 00:49 |
neal__ | i was thinking of using mgetty then say cat it into /dev/dsp or somesuch | 00:49 |
yacc_ | MadSeaDog, so you have to question yourself is your data worth less than 1€ per 12.5GB? | 00:49 |
jolaren | (where scancode is either xx or e0xx, given in hexadecimal,\n" | 00:50 |
jolaren | " and keycode is given in decimal)\n" | 00:50 |
neal__ | well the modem can receive voicemail and fax, so i don't see a reason that you couldn't listen in | 00:50 |
darrend | arand: there seem to be several already posted with many people reporting confirmations in comments. | 00:50 |
oddhyena | i had a modem that I could hear stuff over the phone lines with when I tried to play multiplayer doom, I used my friend's phone number and I could hear "hello? hello?" | 00:50 |
darrend | arand: sound worked perfectly in jaunty, now it's totally broken :( | 00:51 |
=== joshux__ is now known as joshux |
=== Ajr_ is now known as Ajr |
oddhyena | is it possible to route alsa audio through jack? | 00:51 |
plainas | neal__: where does it dumps the fax to? | 00:51 |
yacc_ | neal__, with a softmodem probably => a softmodem is nothing more than a sound card with the hookup to the phone line. | 00:51 |
MadSeaDog | yacc_, this is not mine... i got to save it ... gonna ask that question to the owner... | 00:52 |
jolaren | How do I make a unknown key known? | 00:52 |
gerzel | When I am logged into the console (as in ubuntu server w/no x session running logged in with keyboard monitor directly connected to the box) is there a way to adjust the font size on the screen? I'd like to make it smaller so I can fit more info on the screen | 00:52 |
plainas | it should be possible to connect a modem to a computer and make a phone val | 00:52 |
yacc_ | Basically the important thing is that when the first unrecoverable write error pops up, the drive has already used up a sizeable chunk of replacement sectors, ... | 00:52 |
plainas | in that case your modem would have to be able to route a sound signal | 00:53 |
plainas | directly to the phone line | 00:53 |
MadSeaDog | yacc_, so after 59 ... | 00:53 |
yacc_ | OTOH, I personally do have a 250GB USB drive that is slowly failing, and it's quite ok, [48690.377652] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdd] Sense Key : Recovered Error [current] [descriptor] | 00:53 |
yacc_ | Because I only store "worthless" stuff on it, actually I use it as a staging area for torrent data ;) | 00:53 |
arand | darrend: well, the only thing to do, if it's reported correctly, is to monitor the bugreport for updates, or go ahead yourself and test/provide patches. | 00:54 |
Vantrax | anyone know of a FOSS solution like Zenworks or CSSM | 00:54 |
Snausages | MadSeaDog: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/badblockhowto.html | 00:55 |

pixie_pie | can anyone tell me the fastest way to install ubuntu lts on my vmware? | 00:55 |
Sierradump | Can someone help me with Xorg.conf? I just need to set resolution to 720p (1280x720) but I also need to adjust something like horizontal and vertical frequencies? But I don't know what they should be set to? | 00:55 |
Sierradump | Is there a way to figure that out? | 00:55 |
arand | pixie_pie: some sites provide downloadable vm images, that'd probably be the fastest, otherwise, just grab an iso and install as you would a normal machine. | 00:56 |
Vantrax | pixie_pie, use an iso as a virtual drive | 00:56 |
plainas | pixie_pie: download the iso and choose boot from iso | 00:56 |
yacc_ | MadSeaDog, You could try to read out the S.M.A.R.T. data if available, but I think that experience is clear on this one. | 00:56 |
benc | I want to use upstart to control a server. My server has a script that kills it but upstart also kills the process. what I should do? | 00:56 |
pixie_pie | and what is the latest lts ? | 00:56 |
Vantrax | 8.04 | 00:56 |
pixie_pie | thanks | 00:56 |
Vantrax | or wait for 10.04 | 00:56 |
seidos | Sierradump: i think your best bet would be to compare your xorg.conf to another xorg.conf file that has the sections you need | 00:56 |
pixie_pie | sorry, arand, but can you clarify what is the vm image and how can i know it is a safe website to download this from? | 00:57 |
pixie_pie | and if you know of a safe site, can you recommend one to me? | 00:58 |
seidos | Sierradump: i'd show you mine, but it doesn't have what you need, i think because of my graphics driver | 00:58 |

oddhyena | does anyone know how I can record the output from pulseaudio? like have all the applications' audio output be dumped to a file? or is there a way to have pulseaudio output to jack? | 01:02 |
pixie_pie | yacc_ so that could be.... a security issue, no? isn't it safer to burn the iso image? | 01:02 |
yacc_ | LTS == LongTermSupport | 01:02 |
yacc_ | pixie_pie, it's safer, but you have to install it yourself. | 01:03 |
pixie_pie | yacc_ ok i think i'll do the lts then | 01:03 |

kanja2 | dooglus: awesome, thanks! | 02:11 |
heath|OTG | fireball, not a grub issue. can you pastebin the following code for me: ls -la /etc/rc2.d | 02:11 |

Strider22 | I look like a fool on facebook because I have not been able to get photo upload to work. I've done web searches every few months for a year and followed the instructions. Still no fix.

ToasterMan | Im using 9.10 64-bit and I have flash plugin installed, but it doesn't function right. For example, a youtube video will play, but when I click on any of the actions (i.e pause, or volume change or whatever) nothing happens. It's the same with all flash across the web. All flash runs, but clicking does nothing at all. | 02:29 |
ToasterMan | Is this a known issue? | 02:29 |
heath|OTG | fireball, just try dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 02:29 |
Taim | ToasterMan: It is for me. Disable desktop effects. | 02:29 |
_Tavo_ | please, could someone tell me if eclipse debugger with gdb works in karmic? I've been trying for hours to make it work but failed miserably... | 02:29 |
_Tavo_ | I think it's something to do with gdb 7.0 | 02:30 |
kinen | does anyone know why the sound is broken in karmic after the latest update? | 02:30 |
heath|OTG | ToasterMan, flash for linux is horrible | 02:30 |
ToasterMan | Taim: Yea disabling desktop effects fixed it... but why the hell does desktop effects screw flash up that badly? | 02:30 |

Taim | ToasterMan: Mnn...There is a bug on it. I don't recall exactly why, I just know that it fixes flash. My guess is that compiz does...unexpected things to mouse events... | 02:31 |
Arsin | How do I tell if I'm using a DCHP or static ip? | 02:31 |
heath|OTG | is ubuntu for real | 02:31 |

heath|OTG | Taim, ToasterMan I don't have that issue...what version of flash | 02:32 |
ToasterMan | heath|OTG: how do I tell what version? | 02:32 |
Taim | heath|OTG: 64bit package in ubunutu. | 02:32 |
heath|OTG | Taim, I didn't even know the 64bit package was out, I'm using the 32 | 02:33 |

Arsin | holmser: auto lo iface lo inet loopback dhcp then right? | 02:35 |
ToasterMan | heath|OTG: Geforce GTX 260... although I think that link Dr_Willis just pasted may be the solution | 02:35 |
Arsin | joshua: Why's that? | 02:35 |
heath|OTG | Arsin, that means network-manager is dealing with it and it's probably dhcp uness you set it | 02:35 |
joshua | 1. jaunty -> karmic broke X I had to downgrade X core to function | 02:35 |

MacAttack_ | hey | 02:37 |
chasmarang | Karmic Update Manager is broken | 02:37 |
Doorman352 | THANKS! | 02:37 |
Dr_Willis | some users reported that the bug with mouse clicks not working in Flash & Ubuntu was fixed by either disabling Compiz or just by disabling the show desktop plugin in Compiz. | 02:37 |
heath|OTG | I have upgrade 5 computers to Karmic with no issues | 02:37 |
chasmarang | does anyone have the same problem | 02:37 |
joshua | 4. apt-get doesn't have an override "These packages work togethter thanks" | 02:38 |
joshua | or an override "yes I have this dependency even though you can't see it" | 02:38 |
heath|OTG | joshua, you can always use checkinstall and install from source | 02:38 |
randomusr | heath|OTG: possible to insert graphics into dia | 02:39 |
tovella | Taim: joshua: i agree.... just stick with Jaunty, for now. | 02:39 |

chasmarang | My Karmic Update Manager is broken does anyone have the same problem | 02:39 |

heath|OTG | g1er, alt+tab ? | 02:40 |
heath|OTG | randomusr, I imported pics in there before, don't recall how | 02:40 |

chasmarang | heath|OTG:Could not apply changes! Fix broken packages first | 02:41 |
joshua | and last I checked jaunty's firefox was way outdated | 02:41 |
heath|OTG | chasmarang, from terminal apt-get install -f | 02:41 |
Taim | joshua: you can change root's pw and use "su" instead if sudo is to your disliking. | 02:41 |
Taim | joshua: You could always remove firefox's package and install natively. | 02:42 |
joshua | Taim: of course I can but all the GUI admin tools don't know about that | 02:42 |
heath|OTG | joshua, sudo -i | 02:42 |
heath|OTG | or sudo su | 02:42 |
heath|OTG | don't enable root | 02:42 |
chasmarang | heath|OTG:I can try that - I was without the -f and I got it was holding back on new Kernels | 02:42 |
joshua | remember the UAC debacle? | 02:43 |
heath|OTG | windows? | 02:43 |
tovella | joshua: what does that mean, really (outdated)... a couple of versions behind? security updates still work, right. | 02:43 |
joshua | sudo is about as secure as UAC on low | 02:43 |
boringwall | How do you find out of a background process that you've launched but aren't waiting for has terminated? (in C) | 02:43 |
heath|OTG | sudo in not for novice I agree | 02:43 |

Strider22 | Cleared firefox history as requested. No change. | 02:43 |
dotblank | joshua, I disagree | 02:43 |

boringwall | To handle what signal? | 02:44 |
Taim | joshua dotblank: I agree with dotblank. | 02:44 |
boringwall | ECHLD? | 02:44 |

Favorit | let me have a quick look to be sure | 02:44 |
Strider22 | When I restart firefox I can load the photo upload app once. If I push refresh then firefox hangs at 50% cpu usage (leaves the other cpu free)... Is there a debug option on java that I can set to see what it is trying to load? | 02:45 |

Electric|Master | I was using GRUB, Windows 7 overwrote it | 02:50 |
Electric|Master | Same partition I think | 02:50 |
kisuke | morphias: thanks | 02:50 |
heath|OTG | Roasted, you didn't like it? | 02:50 |
losha | !grub | 02:50 |
ubottu | 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. | 02:50 |
Kraln | I need a goddamn beer lol | 02:50 |

chasmarang | <heath|OTG>will this fix the upgrade manager | 02:50 |

morphias | Kraln: bud light? | 02:50 |
Electric|Master | ok | 02:50 |
heath|OTG | CountDown, I think it is my wireless card | 02:51 |
heath|OTG | CountDown, no I did not | 02:51 |
heath|OTG | chasmarang, you should be fine now | 02:51 |
CountDown | heath|OTG: Why do you think it's the wireless card? | 02:51 |
jose__ | alguien habla español? | 02:51 |
Roasted | heathOTG - the control panel on that thing was nothing short of horrible. The user interface was nice though, but it was too over the top for a dock. I needed it to be functional - not overly pretty | 02:51 |
chasmarang | thanx | 02:51 |
heath|OTG | the light never goes off | 02:51 |
jose__ | nadie habla español? | 02:51 |
heath|OTG | Roasted, that thing will do whatever you want it to do | 02:51 |
Electric|Master | It's on another computer, but... It shows my directory root on the C:\ drive of Windows 7 | 02:52 |
CountDown | heath|OTG: Any ideas how to debug this? | 02:52 |

Dallas | I just tried to install the psb driver using http://mok0.wordpress.com/2009/05/25/ubuntu-on-the-dell-mini-10-2/ guide, after apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-psb I get the "ubuntu is running in low graphics mode" error. "(EE) PSB:Failed to load module "Xpsb" (module does not exist) the only way to start get to UI is to choose "Run Ubuntu in low-graphics mode for just one session" | 02:52 |
heath|OTG | You just have to take the time and set it up | 02:52 |
Roasted | heathOTG - like I said, man, horrible control panel. It was just too cumbersome. Docky and AWN surpass it, IMO. | 02:52 |
Roasted | anybody running AWN dock? | 02:52 |
Favorit | Electric|Master: which of those 3 commands? | 02:52 |
zaduma | Anyone here know anything about EASYBCD? | 02:52 |
heath|OTG | CountDown, the problem I have is trying to get errors, the damn thing is dead before it can write anything | 02:52 |
Electric|Master | Favorit: What commands? | 02:52 |
jose__ | esque soy nuevo y no hablo español | 02:52 |
Electric|Master | I used ls /media/root | 02:52 |
Favorit | Electric|Master: aha, then you mounted the wrong partition | 02:52 |
jose__ | no hablo ingles | 02:53 |
Electric|Master | oh | 02:53 |
jose__ | jeje | 02:53 |
Favorit | Electric|Master: umount /media/root | 02:53 |
jose__ | me equivoque | 02:53 |
Electric|Master | k | 02:53 |
heath|OTG | Roasted, I have AWN dock on this laptop, but I'm telling cairo rules | 02:53 |
morphias | jose__: este channel por ingles | 02:53 |
Favorit | Electric|Master: fdisk -l /dev/sd<disk>, look for partition tagged as Linux, mount that one :) | 02:53 |
CountDown | heath|OTG: Where were you looking for clues? I'll try to confirm. | 02:53 |
Electric|Master | "bash: unmount: command not found" | 02:53 |
Favorit | umount, not unmount | 02:54 |
Electric|Master | oh | 02:54 |
Roasted | heathOTG - you're talking to somebody who used cairo dock extensively for a long time and just recently tried out docky and awn. | 02:54 |
heath|OTG | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=913868 CountDown I read through this | 02:54 |
Roasted | heathOTG - cairo is nice at first cause it has all of the eye candy, but at some point you just need stability and a clean usable dock. That's where I got to, and that's why I stopped using cairo. | 02:54 |
Roasted | I have cairo on 3 computers, and each computer I had different buggy issues with it. Solid, but needs work. | 02:54 |
CountDown | heath|OTG: OK, thanks. I'll ping you if I find anything new. | 02:54 |
heath|OTG | cool | 02:54 |
Electric|Master | k its unmounted | 02:54 |
Favorit | Electric|Master: ok, now, how many hdd's do you have in that machine? | 02:55 |
heath|OTG | Roasted, that's strange, I have it on three computers as well and it runs great. AWN is fine, but it has it's annoyances | 02:56 |
Roasted | heathOTG - I agree. I hated AWN. But its beta they just put out seems to surpass what I expected. | 02:56 |
Electric|Master | Favorit: I have one hardrive, 2 partitions | 02:56 |
Electric|Master | One for Ubuntu and one for W7 | 02:56 |
heath|OTG | really... I'll check it out | 02:56 |
losha | Electric|Master: no swap partition? | 02:57 |
Favorit | Electric|Master: well, then it's rather easy, do "fdisk -l /dev/sda", look for the number that has "Linux" as last column, do mount /dev/sd<that_number> /media/root | 02:57 |
Electric|Master | ok | 02:57 |
Favorit | Electric|Master: and then repeat the grub commando | 02:57 |
Favorit | losha: that would be weird custom installation, but well, you never know :P | 02:57 |
Electric|Master | Ok. /dev/sd5 | 02:57 |
morphias | Favorit: u goin commando? lol jk | 02:57 |
Favorit | Electric|Master: sda5 then, not sd5 | 02:58 |
Favorit | sorry, typoed earlier | 02:58 |
Electric|Master | I know | 02:58 |
Electric|Master | I got it mounted | 02:58 |
* Favorit puts a red bandana, labelled as "grub". | 02:58 |
Electric|Master | Which one is the boot one? | 02:58 |
Favorit | Electric|Master: if you have 2 partitions in the output of fdisk -l, then there is none and only that mount is enough before you will run the grub command | 02:59 |
Electric|Master | ok | 02:59 |
Electric|Master | So I don't need to mount the /media/root/boot thingy? | 02:59 |
zaduma | EASYBCD anyone? | 02:59 |
Favorit | nope | 02:59 |
Electric|Master | ok I'll try it :) | 02:59 |
joshua | anybody know the reason debs don't use bzip2? | 03:00 |

heath|OTG | I take that back, sometimes | 03:01 |
Funzo | KindOne:I had the same card, same problem, never found a fix other than switching back to the 2d driver | 03:01 |
Electric|Master | Ok I think it worked | 03:02 |
Electric|Master | I'll give it a try :) | 03:02 |
Favorit | Electric|Master: well, boot and see ;) | 03:02 |

Favorit | umount that dir before booting tho | 03:02 |
Funzo | KindOne: The nvidia installer was supposedly updated for 9.10 but that version still reports that the version of linux is probably too new | 03:02 |
KindOne | Favorit: what driver ? the one on the CD gave me a max resolution of 800x600 | 03:03 |
joshua | losha: bzip2 not zip | 03:03 |

eli7777 | any one know what might fix this? any one had a problem with a turner card and nvidia card not working that changing vmalloc= didnt fix? | 03:28 |

KindOne | joebix: what is wrong? | 03:29 |
mhs | supercom32: Dual Core CPU's are pretty fast. The only reason multiple CPU's could outperform multiple cores is because they have more total memory bandwidth. | 03:29 |

supercom32 | mhs: Are dual core machines as effective in multitasking as 2 single cpu's? Or is there overhead within a dual core CPU which makes it slightly slower? | 03:32 |

joebix | still nothing | 03:32 |
donald_ | drivers don't show up in hardware drivers | 03:32 |
KindOne | joebix: do you see "Sound Cards" | 03:32 |
mhs | supercom32: dual core machines have two cpu's on one die. | 03:32 |
mhs | supercom32: the only difference is 1) for licensing some applications like Oracle, and b) memory bandwidth. | 03:33 |
joebix | sound card? | 03:33 |
joebix | where? | 03:33 |
supercom32 | mhs: Ok, memory bandwith is the only bottle neck then for a dual core cpu to complete with? | 03:33 |
joebix | under the sound preferences, I see hardware | 03:33 |
greezmunkey | Garbin, you could try that, but it should already be there, try this in a terminal "ps aux | grep -e work" (no quotes) and see if anything called network manager shows up | 03:33 |
mcurran | lshw | grep 'sound' maybe? | 03:34 |
mhs | supercom32: its not much of a bottleneck, except for some HPC applications | 03:34 |
joebix | and it says Internal Audio 1 output/1 input | 03:34 |
Garbin | OK | 03:34 |
joebix | Analog Stereo Duplex | 03:34 |
KindOne | joebix: click the speaker icon, and when it open, you will see the text "Sound Cards" and to the right of that, there should be your sound card. if there is, click it. | 03:34 |
akav | mhs: Just looked at a video on the website. Wireshark looks like it might do the trick. | 03:34 |
akav | mhs: I was using IPTraf, which has no time measurement that I can find. | 03:34 |
mhs | supercom32: and dual core CPU's are superior in terms of power consumption (and thus heat output too.) | 03:34 |
mhs | akav: wireshark is pretty nifty | 03:35 |
Garbin | greezmunkey, yes I see, that is an item called NetworkManager | 03:35 |
akav | mhs: Cool, installing now. Thanks. | 03:35 |
supercom32 | mhs: Good point. Would you happen to know how many processors/cores Ubuntu supports? | 03:35 |
mhs | supercom32: off the top of my head? I'd guess there's no practical limit. | 03:35 |
greezmunkey | Garbin, in thet output do you see the pid number...should be the second entry | 03:36 |
Billiard | supercom32: more than you will ever have linux suppors like 64 or something crazy | 03:36 |
mhs | I was going to say 96 | 03:36 |
supercom32 | mhs: Well, microsoft OS's support a limited number based on distro, so... Just wondering. | 03:36 |
Garbin | yes, something like 922? | 03:36 |
eli7777 | my computer is booting up in low graphics mode if i have the nvidia driver active. | 03:37 |
Garbin | the seconed column? | 03:37 |
akav | and out comes Sierra Nevada #2. | 03:37 |
mcurran | well does ubuntu know how to properly allocate usage for a core i7 or does that all happen in the cpu itself | 03:37 |
Garbin | greezmunkey, the second column? | 03:37 |
KindOne | joebix: did you dix the issue? | 03:37 |
mhs | supercom32: the reason Microsoft restricts the number of processors is not because their OS doesn't support it, but because if you are willing to pay lots of money for a system with 32 cores, they know you can pay thousands for an OS. | 03:37 |
Garbin | I kill it? | 03:37 |

KindOne | toffan: that program is designed for Windows. if you want to run it on Ubuntu, you need to install WINE. | 03:52 |
greezmunkey | Garbin, if you use the package manager, first go to wicd's web site. You have to import some settings first, but the cool part is that once you do, NM will be unloaded as part of the install proc! | 03:52 |

tenna_smle | tenna_smle, vmWare is free for me | 03:57 |
fcuk112 | i was playing around with byobu, and suddenly when i start byobu now i don't see the bar at the bottom, anyone know why? | 03:57 |
greezmunkey | tenna_smle, good reason :) | 03:57 |
tenna_smle | greenzmunkey can you help me get this up? and why do youy say that? Is VMware not good? | 03:57 |
greezmunkey | tenna_smle, I'm sure it's fine, but I've heard some things... VirtualBox installed and runs flawlessly for me. | 03:58 |

Random832 | anyway, you can download the pakcage from http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libblkid1, and extract it by hand | 04:07 |
jonzbcc | I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. The graphical system monitor app shows memory resources being used at like 80% when ubuntu finishes logging in. (with the usual start up programs). It used to be (9.04) that the usual clutter of the start-up apps were only taking up a small amount of memory. So, I logged in (i am now) to failsafe gnome, and see everything is the way it was when I was at 9.04 (only 30% memory in use). Can anyone suggest w | 04:07 |
jonzbcc | here to start? Or am I dumb for doing an upgrade and not a clean-install? | 04:07 |
mcurran | I don't think startupmanager works in karmic | 04:07 |
stealth_ | Random832: ext4, I believe. I'd check, but libblkid.so.1 says there is no information avaliable. | 04:07 |
jrib | jonzbcc: figure out what applications are responsible for the memory usage exactly | 04:08 |
Jordan_U | stealth_: You can chroot in from a LiveCD and reinstall libblkid1 | 04:08 |
Random832 | stealth_, you may need to boot from a livecd to fix it | 04:08 |
Jordan_U | stealth_: What is the exact error you are getting? | 04:08 |
greezmunkey | ubuntunewbie, in a terminal, run top, look at it...check your cpu %'s, swap size, and amount used, etc. | 04:08 |
stealth_ | Jordan_U, Random832: I know, which is why I'm asking where I can find the updated file. Ubuntu didn't upgrade it during the upgrade from 9.04, I'm assuming | 04:09 |
jonzbcc | jrib: well, when I was logged in normal Gnome, the "processes tab" of "system monitor" showed everything in the CPU column was at 0. should I just run "top" at the command line, and let you knwo what shows? | 04:09 |
Random832 | huh?? | 04:09 |

tenna_smle | which one is better to install? | 04:10 |
stealth_ | Jordan_U: yeah, I'm pretty familiar with linux. | 04:10 |

tenna_smle | puff, but has it been debugged sufficiently? | 04:11 |

muri_one | I can also kill a process quicker in htop | 04:22 |
muri_one | without having to transcribe the process id | 04:22 |

mezquitale | plytheman, im pretty sure there's a lot of people with macs that have ubuntu installed on your machines | 04:36 |
benay1 | no one is giving me a clue there :( | 04:36 |
flanders | losha, is it a plugin for k3b or another application entirely? | 04:36 |
^c|0ud^ | Can anyone tell me how to get the icons back from the weather applet, they are missing? Please and Thank You! :) | 04:36 |
judaman | So im on ubuntu 9.10 and vpnc just doesn't work, I start it and all my connections to outside world drop, worked fine on 9.04, dammiitt! i hate debugging | 04:36 |
KindOne | greezmunkey: just PM me a link | 04:36 |
plytheman | mezquitale, sweet deal, hopefully he does have intel and not ppc, should make things a bit easier | 04:37 |

slide | I have a VGA 8" touchscreen LCD monitor connected as a secondary monitor, the native resolution is 1600x1200 but under Display Preferences that is not an option, is there anyway to add it or manually set it res to that? | 04:37 |
losha | flanders: sorry, it's a separate app. You did ask for a k3b feature.... | 04:37 |
benay1 | has anyone here has experience with vmware player 3, ubuntu 9.10 as host, and vista as guest to have NAT works? | 04:37 |
mcurran | KindOne: I used to do it by running displayconfig-gtk, setting the display the way you want it with the vesa driver, restarting, and then replacing the vesa driver with nvidia in xorg.conf, the only problem, displayconfig-gtk is now obsolete, so you'll need to add some old repos in order to get it, or download it and all it's dependencies. | 04:37 |
greezmunkey | KindOne, I don't PM | 04:37 |
flanders | losha, I can use mp3splt-gtk to split the mp3 podcasts, but I was hoping K3B had a similar feature that Brasero has: auto-split tracks. | 04:38 |
KindOne | greezmunkey: okay | 04:38 |
^c|0ud^ | Can anyone tell me how to get the icons back from the weather applet, they are missing? Please and Thank You! :) | 04:38 |
flanders | losha, Brasero is acting really goofy for me. It doesn't seem to unmount discs when erasing them or when burning, and this has ruined some of my CDs. | 04:38 |
rweait | warnings every few seconds from Karmic. No problem on previous 8.04 installation. Where to look? unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 | 04:38 |
losha | flanders: brasero is incredibly buggy. Not sure why.... | 04:38 |
lovre | what is that program for ubuntu that creates thumbnails? | 04:39 |
flanders | losha, also, Brasero puts the FIRST 60 seconds as the LAST track, but the rest are in proper order. This seems like a bug that was overlooked. | 04:39 |
rage | Can you have multiple drives mounting a single point in fstab? e.g UUID=x /mnt/usb_backup ext3 user,noauto 0 0\n UUID=y /mnt/usb_backup ext3 user,noauto 0 0, | 04:39 |
rage | Obviously there would be a conflict if both are plugged in at once, but I am not fussed | 04:39 |
flanders | rage, that sounds impossible. | 04:39 |
losha | flanders: well, I don't see any google hits for k3b and autosplit.... | 04:39 |
KindOne | mcurran: if you find any more information about my driver issue, you can PM me. | 04:39 |
flanders | rage, what about looking into LVM then? | 04:39 |
flanders | losha, no problem, thanks for trying though. | 04:40 |
losha | flanders: actually, this site says it can split files, so poke around: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-extra-gear&m=111866789022998&w=2 | 04:41 |
Tartaros | the gFTP application tells me "The protocol 'FTP' is currently not supported." how wrong is that?! | 04:41 |
mcurran | I don't know what that means. Try seeing if you have anything in /etc/X11/xorg.conf now, and if not, run the program for display settings and add a monitor, vesa driver, and resolution, restart, replace "vesa" with "nvidia" and the resolutions should stay. | 04:41 |
Tartaros | what other protocol should it support than the one in it's name... | 04:41 |
lstarnes | Tartaros: what about ftp in lowercase? | 04:41 |
flanders | losha, I know it can split manually, but that's tedious. | 04:42 |
mcurran | KindOne: I would just give you my old xorg, but I don't have that machine anymore. If you have an email, I can email it to you in a day or so... | 04:42 |

Tartaros | lstarnes: heh, looks like that was it. still, it's uppercase in the name too :) | 04:43 |
greezmunkey | KindOne, are you not able to use the xorg file I posted for you? | 04:43 |
iconmefisto | also, I can't ping from the remote machine to this one | 04:43 |
greezmunkey | KindOne, I have the same basic card... | 04:43 |
flanders | losha, if only GNOME programs weren't so buggy. | 04:43 |
KindOne | greezmunkey: i am about to try that, i just like having multiple backup plans... | 04:44 |
flanders | losha, ironically, even though I use the GNOME desktop, I find myself preferring KDE applications. | 04:44 |
greezmunkey | KindOne, k | 04:44 |
losha | flanders: the solution to *that* is to learn to use the cli versions.... | 04:44 |
Hb_Kai | hey, i'm trying to burn a disc on ubuntu but it's not working. i was wondering if it has anything to do with the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system on the disc, does ubuntu have support for this? | 04:44 |

mcurran | I also have an ancient GPU (ATI 3D RAGE LT PRO) and I can't get any streaming videos online, or wmv or anything, I don't know if it's the driver, old card, or something fixable | 04:48 |
iconmefisto | mcurran: is this a new karmic install? or upgrade from jaunty? | 04:49 |
mcurran | I'm actually compiling the kernel now, hoping I'll get better 3D acceleration afterwards, but I don't really see why I would since I didn't add any specific instructions towards drm or anything. | 04:49 |

losha | alabd: /usr/bin/libtool should be an executable file... | 04:50 |
mcurran | new karmic, actually right now I'm running Linux Mint 8 RC1, basically karmic, and I'm compiling the new kernel 2.6.31-15-generic | 04:50 |

alabd | lstarnes: yes it is installed! | 04:51 |
lstarnes | alabd: try using which libtool | 04:52 |
mcurran | icommefisto, I had the sound problem on my karmic rc1 install also and its here to | 04:52 |
losha | alabd: your locate info may be out of date. What does ls -l /usr/bin/libtool say? | 04:52 |
lstarnes | alabd: or dpkg -L libtool | 04:52 |
alabd | losha: how to up2date it ? | 04:52 |
alabd | lstarnes: /usr/bin/libtool | 04:52 |
lstarnes | alabd: then it is installed | 04:52 |
mcurran | icommefisto did you download the necessary packages for nfs support? | 04:53 |
losha | alabd: sudo updatedb (and then wait...) | 04:53 |
lstarnes | alabd: /usr/bin/libtool is a file, not a directory | 04:53 |
iconmefisto | mcurran: I had a similar problem to yours, but also some video wouldn't show when playing. but system notification sounds worked. that was a jaunty->karmic upgrade though | 04:53 |
alabd | lstarnes: yes | 04:53 |
losha | mcurran: strictly speaking, we don't even talk to mint users... | 04:54 |
Timmymayes | which package would have gl.h for compiling things | 04:54 |
Timmymayes | for opengl | 04:54 |
mcurran | iconmefisto: So you never fixed it? | 04:54 |
greezmunkey | mint who | 04:54 |
mcurran | oh yeah losha, why not - Actually I was running the karmic rc release just before and honestly this ancient computer (compaq presario 5660) is running at least 4 times faster with mint's rc release now. | 04:55 |
lstarnes | Timmymayes: try using apt-file search gl.h | 04:55 |
Hb_Kai | flanders: hey, sorry i had a phone call. it shows me a log and asks me to save it, view it or close. shall i upload that to pastebin? | 04:55 |
iconmefisto | mcurran: yes I did, after a few days googling. it was because some codec packages I had installed had changed names in karmic, so I had to track down which ones, and make sure the right ones were in place. from memory, it was mostly ffmpeg-related packages | 04:56 |
ubuntu | Hello, I'm just checking... | 04:56 |
losha | mcurran: mainly 'cos mint has it's own channel I thought... | 04:57 |

jrtroberts | EntityReborn: You need to remember that with emulators, the audio drivers are all open source too. they are buggy and don't work with all hardware. | 05:05 |
jrtroberts | sometimes you need to either find another rom or try another emulator | 05:06 |

jonz | hello, I'm seeing "italc client daemon" in my startup apps. I'm trying to see why my install has slowed down after an upgrade. I've read that italc is an educational tool. is it something that's been integraded w/Ubuntu to help the user use the system a bit better? or is it purely something that probably came w/my Educational apps I installed via Synaptic?? | 05:07 |
mcurran | bazhang: will do, I'm just answering questions relayed to me also. | 05:07 |

SpaceRat | My question: Is Ubuntu 9.10 supposed to support RAID5 on Intel ICH10R (dmraid)? I tried to google that information, but dmraid is painfully documented. | 05:09 |
bazhang | stephen_, go to xchat, network list edit ubuntu server and add the channels there | 05:09 |
jonz | losha, thanks :) | 05:09 |
jrtroberts | EntityReborn usually it is good to search the forums related to the emulator package you are using. | 05:10 |
Jordan_U | SpaceRat: All I know is that grub2 doesn't support /boot on dmraid yet | 05:10 |

mcurran | Timmymayes: or use nvidia-settings to configure a second monitor with nvidia card | 05:17 |

Jordan_U | BableOn: Why are you using lilo? | 05:25 |
noir | BableOn: maybe check to see if there's a file called "lilo.conf~"? | 05:26 |
Jordan_U | BableOn: Ubuntu is never supposed to delete configuration files that have been edited by the user, so it should either still be there or you should be able to generate an identical config file by re-installing lilo ( But I'm still curious why you would do such a thing :) | 05:27 |

linuxguy2009 | Anyone know how to rearrange the favorites launchers in netbook remix 9.10? | 05:31 |
tanath | mcurran, yeah, i can still see the files, and play the music.. | 05:31 |
tanath | mcurran, and i can unmount and do it again | 05:32 |
mcurran | tanath: can you copy them to your hd? | 05:32 |
tanath | mcurran, i think so | 05:32 |
eigma | I'm on 9.10 trying to disable apache2 from starting at bootup. my command is "sudo update-rc.d apache2 stop 20 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 ." and I get the message "System startup links for /etc/init.d/apache2 already exist.". the links to indeed exist, I wish for them to be adjusted so that they are all K20*'s. any ideas? | 05:32 |
mcurran | Did you try unmounting from terminal and then remounting the sd, then refreshing gparted, sometimes the automount function in gparted is finicky | 05:33 |
tanath | mcurran, yep | 05:33 |
tanath | mcurran, i wanna tell gparted to check teh filesystem but it doesn't see one :-/ | 05:34 |
tanath | mcurran, yet i just copied the files out of it | 05:34 |
mcurran | I'd just copy the files out and reformat | 05:34 |
lstarnes | eigma: try sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 remove | 05:34 |
Jordan_U | tanath: Is the correct device selected in the top right corner? | 05:34 |
tanath | Jordan_U, yep | 05:35 |
SpaceRat | well, as nobody seems to be able to help with dmraid, i will wait for the next release of Ubuntu :) | 05:35 |
SpaceRat | cyas | 05:35 |
noir | Anyone have any idea about the images Brasero creates? This is weird and annoying | 05:35 |
dewmsolo | hello all | 05:35 |
mcurran | SpaceRat: How could it be a RAID if you never installed linux in the first place - what is being stored in raid then? | 05:35 |
eigma | lstarnes: worked, thanks! | 05:35 |
Billiard | noir: whats anoying? | 05:35 |
noir | Billiard: I can't tell what kind of filesystem it used to make the image. It makes a small .toc file and a large disk image with no extension. "file" command just returns "data" on it | 05:36 |
noir | Billiard: and Googling around got me nowhere. Tried mounting it as a .bin and an ISO9660 | 05:36 |
Billiard | noir: its probably just a byte for byte copy of the image, so an iso if the cd was in iso format | 05:37 |
dewmsolo | here is a quick one for you guys...i just installed 9.10 for the first time and now i'm looking to install the build-essential package except apt-get doesn't see it...am i forgetting something or was it renamed? | 05:37 |
linuxguy2009 | noir: check pm | 05:37 |
Billiard | noir: you try mounting without specifying the fstype? | 05:37 |
lstarnes | dewmsolo: that should work | 05:37 |
noir | Billiard: yup, and "auto" mode. Says "you must specify the filesystem type." | 05:38 |
dewmsolo | sudo apt-get install build-essential .....it returns Couldn't find package build-essential | 05:38 |
Madpilot | ubottu, info build-essential | 05:38 |
Madpilot | ubottu, info build-essentials | 05:38 |
Madpilot | hmm, bot napping? | 05:38 |
Geistanon | dewmsolo, have you updated your apt list? | 05:38 |
nomad77 | !build-essential | 05:38 |
ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 05:38 |
lstarnes | Madpilot: it takes a while to look up | 05:38 |
CountDown | Has anyone successfully suspended and resumed Ubuntu 9.10 on an iBook G4? Suspend works, but resume is busted on mine. | 05:38 |
Geistanon | dewmsolo, also, have you added sources | 05:38 |
Jordan_U | Madpilot: Ubottu is somewhat narcoleptic | 05:38 |
mcurran | dewmsolo: did you check your sources.list to make sure all the repos are uncommented. | 05:39 |
bastid_raZor | noir: copy cd isn't intended to be mounted. if you want to mount it choose the iso option | 05:39 |
dewmsolo | doesn't synaptic do that when you run it? cause i went in there after trying in terminal and it wasn't there either | 05:39 |
dewmsolo | i just updated the list...i will try again now | 05:39 |
Geistanon | not necessarily | 05:39 |
noir | bastid_raZor: well it shouldn't matter whether it's intended to be mounted...there's got to be some rhyme and reason to the filesystem the copy uses, no? | 05:39 |
mcurran | dewnsolo: do apt-get update first | 05:40 |
linuxguy2009 | CountDown: Tried power button to wake up? | 05:40 |
alex87 | hey guys, how can i merge two text files on the command line? sort of like how git does it? | 05:40 |
Geistanon | noir, I came in late, what was your problem? | 05:40 |
dewmsolo | yeah that was the problem ....my bad....list wasn't up to date | 05:40 |
noir | bastid_raZor: also I no longer have access to the CDs I copied, so I kind of need to work from these images | 05:40 |

dewmsolo | thnx all | 05:40 |
noir | Geistanon: and whether it's mountable | 05:40 |
Geistanon | noir, okay, one moment | 05:41 |
alex87 | Billiard: thanks, is there a way to do a diff merge? | 05:41 |
Ender2070 | I updated my ubuntu server from 9.04 to 9.10 but its still using kernel 2.6.28 | 05:41 |
CountDown | linuxguy2009: It's not that the system doesn't know when to resume, it's that the system can't fully resume -- I get only a black screen with a frozen mouse pointer. | 05:41 |
Jordan_U | alex87: Try the "merge" command | 05:41 |
firefly2442 | How do I set my default sound playback in Ubuntu? I have two audio cards (built-in and PCI), the PCI I installed after installing Ubuntu, and now it's messed up | 05:41 |
mcurran | Ender2070 you'll need to do sudo apt-get dist upgrade | 05:41 |
Geistanon | firefly2442, in the command line type alsamixer | 05:42 |
Jordan_U | firefly2442: System > Preferences > Sound | 05:42 |
alex87 | Jordan_U: thanks | 05:42 |
Jordan_U | alex87: np | 05:42 |
linuxguy2009 | noir: I personally find brasero and k3b to be lacking in trusting my burns to them for fear of data loss. I bought Nero Linux 4 its great. BTW file roller can open iso files for extraction if thats what you need. | 05:42 |
lstarnes | alex87: diff3 should work if you have the original and the two modified versions that need merging | 05:42 |
Geistanon | noir, what are the files currently? | 05:42 |
firefly2442 | ok, what's the difference between the card name versus playback? | 05:42 |
khensthoth | firefly2442: Or you could check if your BIOS settings has an option to disable the build-in audio. | 05:42 |
Billiard | linuxguy2009: nero linux?, just use dd and cdrecord | 05:43 |
noir | linuxguy2009: I know, I hate Brasero, but I had to make some disc images earlier and I had no proper image tools and no Internet connection to get them | 05:43 |
Jordan_U | linuxguy2009: Why do you fear data loss? They can bot check the md5sum to confirm that the disk burned properly. | 05:43 |
alex87 | lstarnes: thanks, i don't have the old file unfortunately | 05:43 |
mcurran | Brasero has a lot of bugs, but it's my favorite | 05:43 |
Geistanon | noir, ISO? CUE? | 05:43 |
noir | Geistanon: I don't know what they are...for each disc copy I have a small .toc file and a large disc image with no extension | 05:43 |
linuxguy2009 | Billiard: I do LOTs of multisession burns and many of the burn apps that are free simply dont do so well. | 05:44 |
datz | Hi, I have just manually added a user through command, but when I try to run a script, there is not adequate permission to write to a file. How can I add this? | 05:44 |
Ender2070 | mcurran - ty | 05:44 |
Billiard | noir: is it maybe a format to be opened by brasero? | 05:44 |
firefly2442 | so, I can double click on a file and it will play correctly in media player, however I want to play it in mplayer, but there's no sound, I went into preferences and sound but I don't know how to configure the driver (or which one to use for that matter, alsa, oss... etc.) | 05:44 |
mcurran | Ender2070: What's ty? | 05:44 |
Ender2070 | mcurran - thank you | 05:45 |
Billiard | datz: you are trying to write where and with the new user you are trying ? | 05:45 |
mcurran | oh, no prob | 05:45 |
noir | Billiard: that's what I need to find out. I mean obviously the .toc files are meant to be burned by Brasero, yes. I just want to avoid wasting discs on each one of these images (I have 6 or 7) | 05:45 |
Ender2070 | :) | 05:45 |
Jordan_U | noir: Was it an audio CD? | 05:45 |
datz | Billiard: yes with new use, and pid file | 05:45 |

Billiard | datz: where is the file | 05:46 |
CountDown | How do I debug a resume problem? | 05:46 |
noir | Jordan_U: indeed they are | 05:46 |
Billiard | noir: audio cds arent mounted | 05:46 |
datz | Billiard: the file is in a home dir | 05:46 |
Geistanon | noir, the disc image is a .BIN | 05:46 |
datz | it is created | 05:46 |
Billiard | datz: the new users home dir? | 05:46 |
noir | Billiard: alright...but is there any way I can rip the audio data from the images without burning them to physical discs? | 05:46 |
datz | Billiard: I didn't create a dir for the new user | 05:47 |
mcurran | Is there really much performance gain by running raid configurations anyways? Comparitively meaning same disks, but two of them instead of one? | 05:47 |
Billiard | noir: probably, witch tool do you use? just setup a loop and tell the ripping software that is your cd device | 05:47 |

mcurran | do you need to be root or can I use the custom launcher from the panel options | 06:01 |
noir | Geistanon, Billiard: bchunk isn't working unfortunately; it needs a .bin file and a .cue file. I have .toc files, not .cue files. I tried converting .toc to .cue with cuetools, but it throws an I/O error so the file must have a nonstandard syntax or something. Brasero has really done a number on me here... | 06:01 |
losha | mcurran: probably an add-on. I haven't seen that failure mode in firefox in ages. Try #firefox ? | 06:01 |
Billiard | noir: what program do you normally use to rip your audio cds? | 06:01 |
bluntman225 | Jordan_U: I dont have that option. Im not using 9.01 either | 06:01 |
Jordan_U | noir: Brasero itself won't even open it? | 06:02 |

bluntman225 | Its a laptop as well | 06:02 |
Jordan_U | bluntman225: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 06:02 |
ardchoille | sounds like he's using Intrepid | 06:02 |
bluntman225 | Jordan_U: also my mouse is off. Like the pointer shows up 3 inches to the left of where its actually located | 06:02 |
Billiard | datz: you can use sudo to write to any folder, but be careful | 06:02 |
noir | Billiard: Rubyripper, now. Used to use sound-juicer and various stuff. But like I said I had none of those options when I made these images. | 06:02 |
soreau | bluntman225: It's just like adding any other launcher except the command is 'killall firefox' | 06:03 |
noir | Jordan_U: No, Brasero is the _only_ thing that will open it. | 06:03 |
bluntman225 | how to tell what version im usin | 06:03 |
Jordan_U | !version | bluntman225 | 06:03 |

datz | Flannel: so just add them to a group, sounds easy enough, swhat I was thinking acutally | 06:05 |
Geistanon | make sure to read the beginning of the page as well noir, as it pertains to your case | 06:06 |
Flannel | datz: If they need to run a program as another user, you'll need to give them sudo access in one way or another. The easiest/simplest way to do that is to add them to the admin group. | 06:06 |
Flannel | datz: If you just want them to be able to share files and stuff, yeah, just regular permissions can handle that. | 06:06 |

zilla1 | oh. shoot. sorry you all, kid got the keyboard | 06:12 |
RDove | 2 to you too | 06:12 |
RDove | lol | 06:12 |
Geistanon | mcurran, compile the kernel yourself | 06:12 |
Jordan_U | mcurran: make menuconfig | 06:12 |
Geistanon | mcurran, it is a lengthy process | 06:13 |
Geistanon | mcurran, as well as being very involved | 06:13 |
Jordan_U | mcurran: But if you weren't planning on doing that already you should know that there are pre-built kernels http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 06:14 |
khensthoth | jennie: What do you mean by "so that ubuntu can get back"? | 06:14 |
mcurran | Well I'm compiling by scractch like "sudo CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=1 AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-debs" | 06:14 |
jennie | Khensthoth after reinstalling the grub will mess up and then i wont get menu | 06:14 |
infidel2 | Jordan_U -rwsr-xr-x | 06:15 |
Jordan_U | mcurran: Why? | 06:15 |
mcurran | Doesn't that make it more efficient. | 06:15 |
Jordan_U | infidel2: The full line ( the user is important ) | 06:15 |
infidel2 | root root | 06:15 |
infidel2 | Jordan_U sudo isnt what's telling me this, a program is | 06:16 |
Jordan_U | infidel2: What program? | 06:16 |
infidel2 | strace | 06:16 |
Geistanon | mcurran~ having a smaller kernel will take time off of your boot but little else | 06:16 |
Jordan_U | infidel2: You need to put strace after sudo ( you can't strace setuid binaries ) | 06:17 |
infidel2 | oh | 06:17 |
khensthoth | jennie: If you were to reinstall WinXP in your 80GB SATA, then proceed to reinstall grub, shouldn't grub automatically detect the operating systems you have? | 06:17 |
mcurran | Geistanon: But does compiling this way from the linux-image package optimize the kernel at all, or do you still get all the needles modules and everything else that doesn't pertain to the hardware/configuration | 06:18 |
Jordan_U | mcurran: Doesn't optimize it at all | 06:18 |
mcurran | Well, there should be a way to trim the kernel somehow... | 06:18 |

_carlos | :) | 06:19 |
_carlos | hello | 06:19 |
mcurran | This is the only way I know how to compile, because I used to do it this way when I had to appy a patch to my old laptop. | 06:20 |
Jordan_U | mcurran: Unfortunately there is no way to automatically build a kernel for your specific hardware ( that I know of at least ). You need to figure out exactly what hardware you have and use make menuconfig to manually choose what to include | 06:20 |
_carlos | that's right.. | 06:20 |
_carlos | make menuconfig is your friend | 06:20 |
noir | Billiard, Geistanon: Thanks very much for your help! Finally figured it out. Needed to use bin2iso to convert the .toc file to .cue, and then bchunk to convert the .bin and .cue directly to WAVs with the "-w" switch | 06:21 |

Guest12672 | like when i try to click the player in firefox | 06:22 |
Guest12672 | doesn't respond | 06:22 |
mcurran | so what would be a command to begin a compilation with menuconfig? | 06:22 |
Jordan_U | Guest12672: How did you install flash? | 06:22 |
Geistanon | Guest12672, it would be helpful if you would register a name | 06:23 |
=== Guest12672 is now known as pipboy |
mcurran | actually nevermind, I'll look into it and read first | 06:23 |
pipboy | sorry, i guess my previous name wasnt any good | 06:23 |
noir | Geistanon: Hmm...looks like I spoke too soon. The WAV files are corrupt. Dang! I was so close | 06:23 |
pipboy | good looking out | 06:23 |
Geistanon | pipboy, in firefox go to about:plugins | 06:23 |
pipboy | Jordan, i installed it when prompted in firefox, installed the adobe flash version (1st selection) and on another not im using X64 | 06:24 |
Geistanon | pipboy, What has the mime type "application/x-shockwave-flash" | 06:24 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ within the about:plugins page | 06:24 |
pipboy | give me a sec | 06:25 |
pipboy | geistanon, application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes | 06:25 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ is there only the 1? | 06:26 |
sontek | When I ssh into my server it takes a good 2 minutes before it brings up the login prompt | 06:26 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ most times that flash fails in ubu it is because of conflicting plugins | 06:26 |
sontek | it doesn't take that long when I'm using putty from windows on the same computer | 06:26 |
sontek | anything I can check in my ubuntu config? | 06:26 |
Jordan_U | sontek: Is your server listening on port 22 and accessable via the internet? | 06:26 |
losha | sontek: ssh -v to get some debugging output.... | 06:26 |
pipboy | Geistanon, i only see that as application /x shockwave-flash | 06:27 |
brianherman | anybody here try chrome os? | 06:28 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ on http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ , does the flash player check animate? | 06:28 |
Hilikus | if i chmod i file, while rsync copy it next time or not? | 06:28 |
Geistanon | brianherman~ it is not out yet | 06:28 |
brianherman | geistanon: im building it right now http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/introducing-google-chrome-os.html | 06:28 |
Jordan_U | Geistanon: The source is | 06:28 |
pipboy | Geistanon, it offered for me to install missing plugins, but i do see the check animation yes... | 06:28 |
Billiard | noir: you could try one of the cd ripping tools you said you have used before using your file as the cd device | 06:29 |
brianherman | i wish they had a live cd for chrome os | 06:29 |
Jordan_U | noir: Desparate enough to try my crazy idea yet? :) | 06:29 |
noir | Billiard: I can try that I suppose... | 06:29 |
noir | Jordan_U: I definitely am. Hit me | 06:29 |
Geistanon | brianherman, Jordan_U~ well gosh darn that was quick | 06:30 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ then flash is actually operable. you said youtube fails? | 06:30 |
Jordan_U | noir: sudo losetup -r /dev/loop0 /path/to/file.bin | 06:31 |
losha | Hilikus: it depends on the rsync flags you use, and I can't recall if chmod changes the modified time of the file. You can always try rsync with the --dry-run flag to see it *would* do without it actually doing anything... | 06:31 |
pipboy | Geistanon, like when i try to click buttons and what not, youtube, stickam, sometimes myspace music player, and sometimes lastfm. (mostly everything flash related methinks) | 06:31 |
Jordan_U | noir: Then tell a cd ripping app that your cdrom drive is /dev/loop0 | 06:31 |
vin- | question | 06:31 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ how exactly does it fail? | 06:32 |
noir | Jordan_U: oooh I like it | 06:32 |
sontek | losha: its hanging at debug1: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information | 06:32 |
Billiard | Jordan_U: thats what i told him to try also, might work | 06:32 |
ajay | hi | 06:32 |
sontek | losha: once it does: debug1: Next authentication method: publickey its quick. | 06:32 |
vin- | i installed ubuntu through wubi dual booting it with vista, i am about to update my vista to win7, since wubi installed linux though vista will updating to win7 harm anything? my dual boot option when i boot mainly? | 06:33 |
losha | sontek: check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=794765 | 06:33 |
noir | Jordan_U: alright the loop is set up. Rubyrip doesn't let me do anything if I choose /dev/loop0 as the drive. I shall try a different app | 06:33 |

Geistanon | pipboy~ Well that's odd indeed. | 06:36 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ I actually have no idea how to help you at this point. | 06:36 |
pipboy | Geistanon, yeah... its okay, im thinking maybe if i can uninstall the flash plugin i currently have and install the open source ones maybe that would have a different outcome? | 06:37 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ I suggest trying alternative flash plugins such as gnash, and make sure to disable ones which you arent testing currently via tools -> addons -> plugins | 06:37 |
noir | Jordan_U: Tried abcde (nice CLI tool). It says "CD could not be read. Perhaps there's no CD in the drive?" | 06:37 |
Geistanon | actually pipboy | 06:38 |
Geistanon | A simple google search brought up this page ( http://helpforlinux.blogspot.com/2009/11/i-cannot-click-on-flash-in-ubuntu.html ) | 06:38 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ it would appear to be your exact problem | 06:38 |
brianherman | pipboy: do u play fallout3 | 06:39 |
pipboy | brianherman, how'd you know?! | 06:39 |
pipboy | :) | 06:39 |
brianherman | ur name | 06:39 |
brianherman | ever play 1 or 2 | 06:39 |
brianherman | ? | 06:39 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ although you may need to substitute the correct directory as you mentioned you're on x64, although the plugin itself may not be | 06:40 |
pipboy | brianherman, yeah, those are the only ones i like, Fallout oblivion with guns edition wasnt any good imo | 06:40 |
brianherman | i should get 1 and 2 | 06:40 |
brianherman | maybe after xmas i get money | 06:40 |
pipboy | geistanon, thanks a bunch, what is a good way to go about installing these again? | 06:40 |
pipboy | Brianherman, or you could just torrent them? need a link? ill gladly give it to you | 06:41 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ given the page's contents i dont think you need to try alternate plugins yet | 06:41 |
noir | Jordan_U, Billiard, Geistanon: Thanks for all your help guys, but I think I'll delete these useless images and wait till next week to rip these CDs proper. It's a shame, and I came close with the bin2iso/bchunk wav output combo (you can hear the music faintly under lots of static), so I'd call that a partial victory :) Cheers | 06:41 |
pipboy | Geistanon, so what should i do then? | 06:41 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ read the page i sent you | 06:41 |
Jordan_U | noir: Try audacity as a last ditch effort before you give up | 06:42 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ a comment someways down will help | 06:42 |
Geistanon | noir~ audacity is quite brutal | 06:42 |
losha | noir: cdparanoia has always worked well for me ripping audio cds | 06:42 |
noir | Jordan_U: use audacity how? | 06:42 |
noir | losha: that's why I use rubyrip. It's a great frontend to cdparanoia | 06:42 |
pipboy | Geistanon, substituting the directory? i have no idea how to do that, as i've said i don't comprehend how installing works, i'm unfortunately a windows guy but im trying to learn | 06:42 |
jayjay__ | pipboy, in terminal "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer"->restart ff | 06:43 |
Jordan_U | noir: File > Input > audio | 06:43 |
JuicyJ | Wat up ppl | 06:43 |
noir | Jordan_U: yeah lol but I mean on what file...the WAVs I got? | 06:43 |
pipboy | jayjay_, so these are just deb files? | 06:43 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ hit alt+f2 | 06:43 |
jayjay__ | yep | 06:43 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ paste in sudo gedit /usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer | 06:43 |
Geistanon | does it bring up a file? | 06:44 |
Jordan_U | noir: On the .bin, it probably won't work, and even then it might be one long audio file but it's worth a try | 06:44 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ and hit enter obviously | 06:44 |
noir | Jordan_U: ok | 06:44 |
pipboy | Geistanon, enter whats that? Just kidding :P | 06:44 |

Geistanon | pipboy~ :P did it give you an empty file error? | 06:45 |
pipboy | Geistanon, nothing... | 06:45 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ try sudo gedit /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer instead | 06:45 |
noir | Jordan_U: if I import it using Import > Raw Data and the default options, I get the same result as the WAV files: very loud digital-sounding static with the music faint in the background | 06:46 |
noir | Jordan_U: so something along the way here must be close but not quite right | 06:46 |
pipboy | Geistanon, nothing | 06:46 |
Jordan_U | noir: Did you try importing as audio rather than "raw data"? | 06:47 |
noir | Jordan_U: yes, nothing happens if I do that. Says "Audacity did not recognize the type of the file. If it is uncompressed, try importing it using 'Import Raw.'" | 06:47 |

pipboy | jayjay_ result for the deb files? | 06:48 |
Geistanon | pipboy~ that thread is your best bet at this point | 06:48 |
pipboy | jayjay_ lemme try those real quick | 06:49 |
losha | noir: remind me, how was the original ripped? | 06:49 |
pipboy | Geistanon, thanks ill give that a try! | 06:49 |
noir | losha: using the "CD copy" option in Brasero. This results in an extensionless image file and a small accompanying .toc file | 06:49 |
losha | noir: sigh. Brasero... | 06:50 |
Geistanon | noir, losha, it was a bin | 06:50 |
noir | losha: I know. If I had had net access at the time I'd have downloaded a real ripping tool, but I didn't. Now I wish I had booted into Windows and ripped them as Windows Media Lossless. At least then I could decompress the songs to WAV and then re-encode them with FLAC easily enough | 06:51 |

losha | noir: well it's hard to imagine what brasero did to the file which would result in static + faint music, unless it messed with the gain somehow. I hope it isn't some new kind of copy protection... | 06:53 |
jesuslololol | and does it need to be installed on both computers? | 06:53 |

jesuslololol | those work perfectly | 07:07 |
`Immortal` | and can i cancel mid-way? | 07:07 |
powertool08 | Man, I just wish all my favorite linux programs would just work in windows :P | 07:07 |
greezmunkey | Jordan_U, been all the way down that road last night. I checked the md5sum of a burned cd, consistantly got errors, so I finally decided to boot it. I ran the "checker" and it came back clean??? | 07:07 |
jesuslololol | i must say though | 07:07 |
Flannel | `Immortal`: I haven't done it in a while, but I believe so, yes. | 07:07 |
oddhyena | i wonder if it would be a legal issue to implement directX into linux rather than converting it to opengl | 07:07 |
kostkon | `Immortal`, you can a estimated size yes. you can pause the download and continue it some other time. | 07:07 |
jesuslololol | it is faster to transfer files | 07:07 |
jesuslololol | on windows | 07:07 |
kostkon | you can get* | 07:08 |
jesuslololol | though | 07:08 |
`Immortal` | ok i guess thats my best bet | 07:08 |
Flannel | `Immortal`: But /join #ubuntu-in and see if there's someone in your area who might be able to give you an alternate CD | 07:08 |
Jordan_U | greezmunkey: Are you sure checked it against the right md5? | 07:08 |
`Immortal` | ok , thanks for all the help guys | 07:08 |
`Immortal` | Flannel: & kostkon really appreciate it | 07:08 |
huston | immortal it doesn't take much. just update from an alternate install cd/dvd | 07:08 |
Jordan_U | `Immortal`: DVD if possible since all of the other apps you have installed will need to be upgraded too ( the DVD includes main ) | 07:09 |
greezmunkey | Jordan_U, like I said, I want all the way down that road. I understand how it works, let's say. I think the issue is that dd is a bit finniky when reading the data into md5sum. | 07:09 |
smok | this is the end | 07:10 |
Jordan_U | greezmunkey: You don't need dd, just run md5sum on the device directly | 07:10 |
greezmunkey | Jordan_U, I am on a laptop, and was bouncing all over compiz at the time. Direct to md5sum, like md5sum /edv/cdrom, been there... | 07:10 |
losha | greezmunkey: I've never found it so. I think you may have hardware issues (flaky reader/disk). On a properly burned disk, I expect to be able to get the correct md5sum no matter how many times I check it.. | 07:11 |
huston | so any1 know how to change appearance of login screen? | 07:11 |
jesuslololol | rawr | 07:11 |
Jordan_U | `Immortal`: And you should really check to see if you can get it from your ISP for free ( their biggest cost is often paying other ISPs they route traffic to / from so they really want things to stay within their network ) | 07:11 |
jesuslololol | huston, system > administration > login window | 07:12 |
oddhyena | ummm, there's no appearance options there | 07:12 |
`Immortal` | will try that too | 07:12 |
`Immortal` | thanks | 07:12 |
alabd | good day everyone , how chmod symblinks ? | 07:13 |

jesuslololol | idk what version i am | 07:13 |
jesuslololol | i think im still 9.04 | 07:13 |
huston | it isn't there in 9.10 | 07:14 |

Jordan_U | Dallas: You can probably use ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a terminal, and if nothing else works use sysrq ( do NOT just pull the plug ) | 07:24 |
powertool08 | Dallas: can you open a terminal vi alt+f2 or through the menus? | 07:24 |
Jordan_U | !sysrq | Dallas | 07:24 |
ubottu | Dallas: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 07:24 |
Dallas | ctrl+alt+f1 nothing or alt+f2 | 07:25 |
Dallas | now how the hell do you type that while holding those? | 07:26 |
Dallas | lol | 07:26 |
powertool08 | Dallas: Didn't catch your version and I know its not in newer ones, but try ctrl+alt+bksp to restart X | 07:26 |
zamba | i have this very annoying problem with ubuntu karmic, where when i click on a terminal, directly inside it, it's interpreted as a double-click.. so my copy buffer is emptied | 07:26 |

powertool08 | Dallas: Its not so hard, I can do it on my laptop and I have to hold the fn key to get printscreen key to work | 07:27 |
greezmunkey | Jordan_U, I have to say K3B has a nice interface, I'll see how well it works... | 07:27 |
Dallas | down+alt+prnt screen REISUB does nothing | 07:27 |
Jordan_U | Dallas: Does your mouse still move? | 07:28 |
Dallas | o it did. holding down the function key with all that sure ass hell restarted it | 07:28 |
Dallas | but, I don't think it shut down. | 07:28 |

Dallas | lol. I can't believe I did that. Wish I had a picture I'm sure it looked funny with my hand spread all over this netbook | 07:30 |
powertool08 | greezmunkey: ha! Sure would make things easier, or much much harder. | 07:30 |
owen1 | anyone got issues with skype v2 for karmic? | 07:30 |
Dallas | So, if it did a hard reboot do I need to do a disk check or something? | 07:30 |

Jordan_U | DrIshaiMD: What driver? | 07:33 |
DrIshaiMD | Broadcom B43 wireless driver | 07:33 |
DrIshaiMD | never mind I got it | 07:34 |
Jordan_U | DrIshaiMD: Is there also another option for the broadcom STA driver? If so try it instead of b43 | 07:34 |

DrIshaiMD | wow, ubuntu 9.10 even enabled glx on my onboard ati x200 and I didnt have to DO anything | 07:37 |
SandGorgon | guys.. I'm trying to create a build script for a package - why are man pages separated into directories like man1, man2, man3 ? | 07:37 |
DrIshaiMD | thats amusing | 07:37 |
Jordan_U | SandGorgon: Different sections, for instance stat is both a binary ( man 1 stat ) and a system call ( man 2 stat ) | 07:39 |
strongsoul | OMG, this sucks | 07:39 |
DrIshaiMD | wow - great friggin job on 9.10. Truly impressive | 07:39 |

oddhyena | I'm wanting to install windows on my 500gb hard disk but the CD that installs windows only wants to install to the first partition of the hard disk, and I don't want it to, is it possible for me to install windows, copy the windows partition to an external hard disk, and then install ubuntu and put the windows partition back and resize to fit? | 07:39 |
strongsoul | and even now when i close the lid of laptop it goes to suspend | 07:39 |
strongsoul | is this a bug or what ? | 07:40 |
infidel2 | what part of ubuntu lets you press winkey+mouse wheel to zoom in on anything in gnome? | 07:40 |
Dallas | strongsoul: are there settings for it in your bios? | 07:40 |
strongsoul | Dallas, no idea | 07:40 |
strongsoul | havent played with it | 07:40 |
Jordan_U | oddhyena: ##windows might be a better channel for that question | 07:40 |
SandGorgon | oddhyena, which version of win ? | 07:40 |
Dallas | Strongsoul: I'd check there | 07:41 |
strongsoul | Dallas, before upgrade this is not how it behaved | 07:41 |
strongsoul | will upgrade change bios setting also ? | 07:41 |
SandGorgon | Jordan_U, I have a source package which has man pages zipped up as something.8.gz - does that mean I have to install it to man8 directory ? | 07:41 |

Jordan_U | SandGorgon: If they are sustem administration commands then yes | 07:43 |
DrIshaiMD | strongsoul, I just tried it, my lappy goes to sleep when I close it, but then I couldn't wake it back up | 07:43 |
Jordan_U | SandGorgon: man man | 07:43 |
Dallas | I think 686 is the 64 bit. | 07:43 |
Dallas | amd | 07:43 |
infidel2 | drink_sti did you turn on your hardware virtualization in the bios | 07:43 |
strongsoul | DrIshaiMD, what you couldnt wake it back up ! ? | 07:43 |
strongsoul | when i press the power button it wakes up | 07:43 |
strongsoul | and gives me that screen locking authentication box | 07:44 |
strongsoul | which is all fine | 07:44 |
corey_ | Whats the current version of beryl? and where can I get it? | 07:44 |

Dallas | does alsamixer adjust the system volume? | 07:57 |
powertool08 | Dallas: try alsamixer in a terminal | 07:57 |
manitu | what could it be? read that it can be the harddisk, but how it boots that far then? | 07:57 |
Madpilot | Dallas, right-click on the volume applet, choose Sound Prefs, and have a look thru the tabs there | 07:57 |
powertool08 | Dallas: It adjust lots of aspects, main and pcm are the typical ones, but you can adjust bass/treble, fade/balance | 07:58 |

ActionParsnip | manitu: make sure the HDD connectors are in good and solid, you could boot with some boot options to maybe get around it. I'd download the drive manufacturers tool to test the disk. Did you MD5 test the ISO you burned to make the CD? | 08:05 |
powertool08 | nikre: Follow the directions you're given. Run ps aux | grep xorg (tells you if X is running) and paste the output. | 08:07 |
ActionParsnip | nikre: your system already has an X server running, you will need to make a virtual X server to run off of somehow (ive heard of it done buy i've not done it) | 08:07 |
=== Anonymous6 is now known as TeamColtra |
nikre | powertool08 there's nothing returned from ps command | 08:08 |
nikre | (only itself) | 08:08 |
powertool08 | nikre: Also, it might be easier to vnc or something unless you absolutely need the X server to be remote. | 08:08 |

manitu | ActionParsnip, ubuntu is installed and boots from the hdd by grub.. and after a time it stopped working and i geht the DRDY ERR and a ata1.00 error: { UNC } | 08:08 |

haddock | Hey, Im wondering is there any package for SLiM (simple login manager) in Ubuntu? | 08:08 |
greezmunkey | when I'm running md5sum /dev/cdrom , should I see output as it goes through the disk? | 08:08 |
TeamColtra | Okay I have been googling and racking my brain on this all day... It is finally time to ask for assistance. My machine fails to boot (kernal panic) and I am trying to fix it... I have put the alt install disk in to do the fix mode... but once I drop into shell... I am lost at what I should do | 08:09 |
ActionParsnip | manitu: i see, try some boot options and definately check the drive. It doesnt sound healthy. Also check the data/power connectors to the drive are in good | 08:09 |
=== haddock is now known as fredrik |
TeamColtra | I tried the FSCK but there seems to be no /dev/discs option | 08:09 |
greezmunkey | All I get back is: md5sum: /dev/cdrom: Input/output error | 08:09 |
ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: no, it only outputs when done | 08:09 |
SzArAk | hi | 08:09 |
ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: you dont really md5 a cd like that, are you checking a burned ubuntu disk? | 08:09 |
powertool08 | nikre: check to see if the /tmp/.X0-lock is there, if so, rm /temp/.X0-lock, try again. | 08:09 |
greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, yes, please advise! | 08:10 |
manitu | ActionParsnip, problem is, that it is a notebook.. does i need to start from a live cd or what i should do? | 08:10 |
ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: boot to the CD, select language then read the screen, there is an option to verify the CD there | 08:10 |
SzArAk | how can i verify the amount of ram on my graphics card? lspci shows 64MB wich seems way to much. i expected to have 2, or 8MB. here is the output of lspci -vv http://wklej.org/id/210748/ | 08:10 |

poyntz | How do you install "transkode" on Ubuntu Karmic Koala. I'm getting this error when I try to install it from source: "in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed" | 08:10 |
ActionParsnip | manitu: connectors should be ok then, try bootoptions and manufacturers test | 08:11 |
greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, I gotcha on that...Is there any way to run that w/o booting the CD rom? | 08:11 |
drink_sti | i get this "FATAL: no bootable medium found. system halted" any body have anything on this problem? | 08:11 |
poyntz | is there are prefix you could give me that would do the trick? can I disable headers? what should I do? | 08:11 |
nikre | powertool08 I get this error when trying to run vnc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/323118/ | 08:11 |
nikre | any idea? | 08:11 |
powertool08 | poyntz: You are probably missing a ton of KDE libraries/dependencies since you are running Ubuntu, not Kubuntu. | 08:12 |
poyntz | powertool08: I figured that because it's a script for Amarok, which works fine on Ubuntu, that it would work as well :/ | 08:13 |
ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: the bootoptions can e added to grub using the e button to edit the entry for this boot only | 08:13 |
ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: sorry, crossed wires | 08:13 |
powertool08 | nikre: Did you remove the lock file and successfully start X? | 08:13 |
poyntz | powertool08: also, my comp is 4 years old. Not sure if it's tailored to the KDE environment | 08:13 |
ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: no, you need to boot to the CD to run the tool | 08:13 |
DrIshaiMD | where is xorg.conf ?!??! | 08:13 |
userfriendly | g'day | 08:13 |
DrIshaiMD | or at least it's equivalent in 9.10 | 08:13 |
powertool08 | poyntz: KDE is much older than your computer :) | 08:13 |
userfriendly | /etc/X11 | 08:13 |
ActionParsnip | DrIshaiMD: karmic doesnt have one by default, if you add one it will be used | 08:13 |
aperson | DrIshaiMD, /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:14 |
nikre | powertool08, sudo ls /tmp/*lock > ls: cannot access /tmp/*lock: No such file or directory | 08:14 |
poyntz | powertool08: I don't doubt that. but the latest versions would run slow, no? | 08:14 |
drink_sti | i get this "FATAL: no bootable medium found. system halted" any body have anything on this problem? | 08:14 |
poyntz | powertool08: or at least, slower than gnome | 08:14 |
DrIshaiMD | how does it get its settings by default? | 08:14 |
ActionParsnip | drink_sti: did you md5 test the image? | 08:14 |
userfriendly | speaking of xorg.conf, why does the desktop on my third monitor extend to 1680x1680 when it's supposed to be 1680x1050...? | 08:14 |
drink_sti | i got it right from the ubuntu dite | 08:15 |
drink_sti | *site | 08:15 |
ActionParsnip | DrIshaiMD: it uses HAL and other autodetect things to detect whats going on, if it gets it wrong you will need an xorg.conf file to tell it | 08:15 |
timewriter | hi | 08:15 |
greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, that's cool. I spent way too much time on that md5sum stuff last night getting errors, only to boot the CD, which verified fine! | 08:15 |
powertool08 | poyntz: KDE4, maybe, I thought KDE 3.5 was pretty good and I'm on a single core Athlon XP 2800+. I use XFCE and its good enough. | 08:15 |
greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, I apprieciate you jumping in! | 08:15 |
greezmunkey | s/ni/in | 08:15 |
ActionParsnip | drink_sti: means nothing, the data can be garbaged in transit from server to your PC, doesnt matter where its from, so long as the MD5 matches | 08:15 |
SzArAk | how can i verify the amount of ram on my graphics card? lspci shows 64MB wich seems way to much. i expected to have 2, or 8MB. here is the output of lspci -vv http://wklej.org/id/210748/ | 08:15 |
DrIshaiMD | how would i go about changing which module to use without an xorg.conf? I want to try out fglrx | 08:15 |
ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: cool, thats what counts | 08:15 |
ActionParsnip | DrIshaiMD: if you install it, it will be used | 08:16 |
poyntz | powertool08: I'm dual-booting xfce/gnome. never really had the guts to use kde :P. but the thing is, half these scripts demand it | 08:16 |
greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, exactly...now I have 5 or 6 good install disks too! | 08:16 |
powertool08 | nikre: try without the *, use the file given in the previous error statement. | 08:16 |
drink_sti | actionparsnip: it loaded fine then told me something about my processor not being amd64 then i reload it and it tells me no bootable medium. | 08:16 |
ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: groovy, sounds like your hardware needs extra kernel options or is failing | 08:16 |
aperson | does anyone else experience this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/483456 | 08:17 |
ActionParsnip | drink_sti: you cant load a 64bit system on a 32bit cpu, if you are using vm ware and your system doesnt have the right functionality, you cannot run 64bit guets | 08:17 |
DrIshaiMD | ok, is there a new key combination to kill X11? Ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't seem to work anymore | 08:17 |
ActionParsnip | *guests | 08:17 |
poyntz | powertool08: my problem is more the fact that I can't transfer flac files to my iPod (through research I've learned that iPod's don't except flac files). If I want to transfer files over, I need some sort of transcoder :/ | 08:17 |
ActionParsnip | DrIshaiMD: alt + k + printscreen | 08:17 |
greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, could be. This desktop was installed onto a WinXP install, it's a wubi thing. | 08:17 |
drink_sti | actionparsnip: it says something about the kernel not being correct. and my system is an amd 64 | 08:17 |
powertool08 | poyntz: I'd look into mencoder | 08:17 |

timewriter | anyone uses 9.10 ? | 08:18 |
poyntz | powertool08: I wouldn't have a clue how to use that (it runs through bash, yeah?). also does it allow me to transcode multiple files at once? | 08:19 |
aperson | timewriter, give this is the ubuntu support channel, it's safe to assume ues | 08:19 |
DrIshaiMD | hmph im on a laptop, that doesn't appear to work | 08:19 |
aperson | yes* | 08:19 |
hassanakevazir | poyntz, take a look at rockbox, if your ipod is supported, it can playback anything, IIRC also flac | 08:19 |
timewriter | aperson , thanks , should i upgrade from LTS ? | 08:19 |
ActionParsnip | drink_sti: then I recommend you MD5 test the ISO, seems your CPU doesnt support virtualisation with 64bit guests so you will need to check that (you may have to enable an option in your BIOS) or you will have to run 32bit guests | 08:19 |
poyntz | hassanakevazir: its an iPod shuffle, if that means anything | 08:19 |
powertool08 | poyntz: Yes its command line, but may have a gui frontend available, and I'm sure its not too difficult if you find a good guide with examples on google. | 08:19 |

ActionParsnip | drink_sti: not all 64bit CPUs will allow 64bit guest virtualisation | 08:20 |
CppIsWeird | i just plugged in an sata card and i dont see the drives connected to it at all, not even in dmesg. how do i see if the card is being picked up? | 08:20 |
poyntz | powertool08: just it's going to take me a while to transcode individual files one at a time :P | 08:20 |
greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, I see that you are getting slammed right now, but during the install does it scann hardware, and offer appropriate drivers, settings, etc. OR, should I plan to make menuconfig after I'm done? | 08:20 |
drink_sti | i am using sun virtualbox. does that have anything to do with it? | 08:20 |
powertool08 | poyntz: So start multiple instances? | 08:20 |
poyntz | powertool08: especially say if there's about 4 GB of media | 08:20 |
greezmunkey | s/scann/scan | 08:20 |
ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: most is detected for you, you may need extra boot options, or to add modules in the LiveCD to get things rolling | 08:21 |
hassanakevazir | poyntz, ah, no then, it won't be able to playback flac | 08:21 |
aperson | timewriter, I like 9.10 if that counts for anything | 08:21 |
timewriter | thanks | 08:21 |
powertool08 | poyntz: GNU/screen would be nice for checking in on them without leaving a bunch of windows open. | 08:21 |
timewriter | im gonna grab it then | 08:21 |
poyntz | powertool08: then the cpu would unsafely be randomly allocating process time, no? what if the program isn't designed to handle these random shuffles. especially with so much processing power going toward transcoding such a high number of files? | 08:22 |
ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: but you can use wubi if you like. It does run. I personally dislike the idea so avoid it | 08:22 |
greezmunkey | ActionParsnip, I think it will be fine, I have another HDD to do a dry run on for this laptop, the worst that'll happen is I'll have to put this HDD back in! | 08:22 |
TeamColtra | Let me ask this way... is there a way to just force a FSCK of the entire system? | 08:22 |
DrIshaiMD | ActionParsnip, alt+k+printscrn doesnt work, just asks me to cave screenshot | 08:22 |
powertool08 | poyntz: I dunno, I don't transcode files so I couldn't say for sure. | 08:22 |
poyntz | powertool08: no worries. thanks anyhow. i'll keep it on my mind | 08:23 |

DrIshaiMD | ooooh looks like fglrx is a no go | 08:26 |
DrIshaiMD | thats a bummer | 08:26 |
CppIsWeird | i just plugged in an sata card and i dont see the drives connected to it at all, not even in dmesg. how do i see if the card is being picked up? | 08:26 |
poyntz | powertool08: so why are you using xfce and gnome then? :P | 08:26 |
powertool08 | poyntz: I don't use gnome. I use xfce because I don't like KDE4 and 3.5 is outdated now. | 08:27 |
ActionParsnip | CppIsWeird: sudo fdisk -l will show you the drives and partitions | 08:27 |
oddhyena | i don't like kde | 08:27 |
oddhyena | it's too konfusing | 08:27 |
greezmunkey | laggg | 08:27 |
poyntz | powertool08: ahh k. so you prefer both xfce and kde to gnome? | 08:27 |
CppIsWeird | poyntz, thats how i know i don't see the drives. ;) | 08:27 |
DrIshaiMD | ok all thanks for your help | 08:28 |
ActionParsnip | CppIsWeird: if you dont see any, run: dmesg | less to see whats detected at bootup, you may need to run: lspci to see what the card is, you may need extra packages or even compile a kernel module for the card to work | 08:28 |
TeamColtra | Okay I tried rebooting it again... the first error is /bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries /lib/libc.so.6: invalid ELF header ten Failure: apArmor profiles filaed to load then /sbin/init: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libpthread.so0: invalid ELF header then goes into Kernal Panic | 08:28 |
poyntz | CppIsWeird: you'll have to explain that one to me | 08:28 |
powertool08 | poyntz: Yes, although I may start to like gnome more since I don't like KDE4. I also have used LXDE and Enlightenment. XFCE is the best blend though. | 08:28 |
powertool08 | poyntz: I don't like all the bloat that comes with KDE/gnome, yet I usually still end up with the libraries due to a few favorite programs which require them. | 08:29 |
poyntz | powertool08: xubuntu I'm guessing? I've never tried xubuntu, but DreamLinux is nice. I've stopped using it temporarily because I have to issue the command startx every time I want to go from the console to the GUI :/ | 08:29 |
poyntz | powertool08: Amarok seems like an awesome player. Couldn't go back to Mplayer now I'm enjoying it so much :P | 08:30 |
powertool08 | poyntz: I'm actually on Sidux now, its based on Debian Sid. | 08:30 |

=== guest1988 is now known as switchgirl |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: same with KDE? | 08:30 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: I don't see the point tho, because I've already got once xfce OS | 08:31 |
CppIsWeird | ActionParsnip: i don't even see the card in lspci, does this mean its dead or something? | 08:31 |
powertool08 | poyntz: I use mpd as my music player, and ncmpc as the client front end. I think sonata is a gui front end for it. | 08:31 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: and I like gnome :P | 08:31 |
ActionParsnip | poyntz: not sure on the base kde package but you can install kubuntu-desktop and it will be the same | 08:31 |

ubuntujenkins | the thing from sultanselephant didn't except it though | 08:35 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: the only annoying thing about it is that it doesn't transcode. actually there's more wrong with it than that, but that's a start | 08:36 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: and I have flac files which wont play on iPod | 08:36 |
ActionParsnip | powertool08: pretty much, you install ulite from CD, then they have provided a script to set things up nice, you can then install whatever desktop you like, I use LXDE because its small | 08:36 |

lightpriest | nmudgal: you're trying to "install update", and as apt-get says... there's no such package. you should "sudo apt-get update" | 08:40 |
poyntz | kwork: see that could mean that it plays mp3... lol. i'll try to see what i can do with apple's crappy ipod firmware :P | 08:40 |
kwork | poyntz, yeah it plays mp3, not sure about anything else :P | 08:40 |
lightpriest | nmudgal: update and install are both actions, and the first parameter of apt-get is an action | 08:40 |
handjob | I NEED SOME HELP. I've edited /etc/group and added another user to "admin" it didn't worked but the worst part is that the old user lost ther priviliges of sudo and as far as i remeber the rood is turned off by default. Am i fucked for good ? | 08:40 |
ActionParsnip | poyntz: if you hit it with a hammer it makes it fatser, hit it really hard HAHAHAHAHA (DONT, joke) | 08:40 |
userfriendly | waaaaah... 9.10 upgrade overwrote my hosts file >.< | 08:40 |
ActionParsnip | userfriendly: restore from backup | 08:40 |
nmudgal | lightpriest: ok man! thnxs | 08:40 |
poyntz | just looking at the KDE desktop environment tho. it looks like a waste of space... and resources... | 08:40 |
userfriendly | backup... what is this backup you speak of... | 08:41 |
SultansElephant | what's so hard about doing a full reinstall | 08:41 |
kwork | poyntz, go for flux of xfce if you want lightweight | 08:41 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: when it starts to screw up I might just do that ;) | 08:41 |
kwork | flux or xfce | 08:41 |
powertool08 | handjob: try 'sudo su -' it may give you a root shell. | 08:41 |
ActionParsnip | userfriendly: the backup you made, if the file is important yuo will have made a backup | 08:41 |
lightpriest | handjob: if you used gedit to edit the file, gedit keeps a "filename"~ backup file after you save | 08:41 |
userfriendly | ;) | 08:41 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: of course, providing that I no longer have warranty | 08:41 |
userfriendly | point taken | 08:41 |
SultansElephant | Calling KDE or GNOME 'bloated' is just elitist nerdiness unless you're still clutching on to some ancient pc | 08:41 |
lstarnes | handjob: sudo -i is preferred over sudo su - | 08:41 |
ActionParsnip | kwork: flux has amazing hotkey configs | 08:41 |
nmudgal | lightpriest: it's done such an idiocy !! | 08:41 |
kwork | ActionParsnip, when i was gentoo freak, i always had flux :P | 08:41 |

SultansElephant | what about puppy | 08:42 |
SultansElephant | that thing is amazing | 08:42 |
handjob | "user is not in the sudoers..." | 08:42 |
ActionParsnip | kwork: i used to run it, now i'm LXDE | 08:42 |
poyntz | kwork: I already have DreamLinux xfce, which is very quick. the only reason I'm contemplating KDE is because many apps require it | 08:42 |
SultansElephant | you mean the ones that start with k | 08:42 |
ikonia | SultansElephant: do you have an ubuntu support discussion | 08:42 |
CyberJack77 | I recently installed 9.10 and now 2 of my harddisks are giving "exception Emask frozen" and "hard resetting link" errors/warnings. Does anybody know how to solve this? I never got this messages under 8.10. dmesg output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/323125/ | 08:42 |
nmudgal | lightpriest: done man i just forget that !! | 08:42 |
lightpriest | handjob: if you didn't set a root password (and you are not in the sudoers file) you have to boot as single user (or use a liveCD) | 08:43 |
* poyntz thinks that everyone should be aware that linux is never forward compatible LOL | 08:43 |
handjob | lightpriest, OF course! Thank You kind Sir! | 08:43 |
blacksun7 | anyone very familiar with bash scripting here that could help me out with a renaming script? | 08:43 |
powertool08 | poyntz: Sure it is, just only in the areas in which linux developers are interested. | 08:43 |
poyntz | ...maybe partially forward compatible. and by that, I mean things will break | 08:43 |
lightpriest | handjob: either the sudoers file, admin group, something in the middle got screwed. you won't be able to login as root from a normal user if you don't have a root password | 08:44 |
ActionParsnip | blacksun7: i'd ask in #bash | 08:44 |
cprakash | I am getting an 'Uncorrectable data error or media is right protected' for 6 blocks on the hard disk when running dell diagnostics | 08:44 |
ActionParsnip | poyntz: depeds what you buy and config | 08:44 |
blacksun7 | thanks ActionParsnip | 08:44 |
cprakash | Does this mean I have to replace the hard disk as it is corrput ? | 08:44 |
poyntz | powertool08: you're probably right. but I've lost the desktop a few times, due to code incompatibilities | 08:44 |
handjob | lightpriest, Ah btw any idea why this occured when i added user to admin group using vim (firstuser:nextuser)? | 08:44 |
cprakash | Is it possible to fix it with some cammand on ubuntu ? | 08:44 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: not much bought. Running pretty much all off open source software | 08:44 |
cprakash | I ran fsck at boot time as well as chkdsk of windows at boot | 08:44 |
ActionParsnip | cprakash: boot to live CD and fsck the disk | 08:44 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: that's aside from games. | 08:45 |
ActionParsnip | poyntz: some games run amazingly | 08:45 |
cprakash | ok | 08:45 |
ActionParsnip | poyntz: some devs even make linux installers for their games | 08:45 |
cprakash | thanks ActionParsnip | 08:45 |
b0nn | hrm, I'm having wifi problems, anyone point me in the right direction for troubleshooting? | 08:46 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: now that is something I'd love to see. I'd also like to see more gnome apps and less wine ones | 08:46 |
lightpriest | handjob: in /etc/group file, : is an option delimiter and "," is a list delimiter. i.e. you should have done admin:XX:XX:user1,user2 | 08:46 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: for instance, I have to use wine to highlight in PDF files | 08:46 |
handjob | lightpriest, ah thank You again. | 08:46 |
ActionParsnip | poyntz: as an example: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Doom3 | 08:46 |
ActionParsnip | poyntz: you should research before ranting | 08:46 |
lightpriest | handjob: usually in linux configuration files a comma is a list delimiter | 08:47 |
powertool08 | poyntz: Sauerbraten is another fps linux game. | 08:47 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: I wasn't ranting about games :P. I was ranting about how things break in upgrades :P | 08:47 |
ActionParsnip | poyntz: log bugs when they do, they will be attended | 08:47 |

b0nn | morticia_: killall firefox | 08:48 |
ActionParsnip | poyntz: powertool08: penumbra is an awesome linux native game, its paid for but the demo is killer | 08:48 |
ActionParsnip | poyntz: did you log a bug? | 08:48 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: thankfully I was dual booting with DreamLinux, so I could fix it from that OS | 08:48 |
Tartaros | where can I set what's the title of an xterm window/tab ? | 08:48 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: I only generally log bugs if it does the log locating, etc for me. I have never any idea which package runs what and what outputs to attach to bug reports | 08:49 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: generally they close my bug reports due to a lack of information | 08:49 |
morticia_ | b0nn: thanks | 08:49 |

ActionParsnip | poyntz: if stuff is in error, report it, a child can do that | 08:51 |
ActionParsnip | jove: sudo apt-get install traceroute | 08:51 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: I meant for me to contribute. you'd have to know the linux OS like the back of your hand, no? | 08:51 |
anarcap | HI all. Question about video playback on VLC, SMPlayer, etc. I have a DVD of the movie Cars and opened it up in a few movie players on Ubuntu 9.10 and they all start up in Full Screen (standard 4:3) and not widescreen. I know that the DVD is widescreen, and I can't figure out how to get it to play in widescreen | 08:52 |
Hans_Henrik | first time this happens, i opened a shell on my server, and it spammed "bash: /dev/null: Permission denied" a few sec before i could write anything :s | 08:52 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: provided they can give contributors the info they need to fix it | 08:52 |
powertool08 | poyntz: Not necessarily, file what you know, they ask for more info, then you give them what they ask for. | 08:52 |
ActionParsnip | poyntz: no, just say when something is wrong and someone more knowledgable will ask you to generate info from your system to beef up the info | 08:52 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip powertool08 : provided they point me in the right direction. Often I find once a bug report gets marked as something different, people stop looking at it | 08:53 |
ActionParsnip | poyntz: like on launchpad questions, some people log questions with so little information that its hard to know what they are asking, so you ask them to clarify | 08:53 |
ardchoille | Perhaps the bugs convo can be moved to #ubuntu-bugs? | 08:53 |
jove | actionparsip: it failed, do you have any idea ? wine-dev: Depends: wine (= 0.9.35~winehq0~ubuntu~7.04-1) but it is not going to be installed | 08:53 |
ActionParsnip | jove: you can then run: traceroute destination and you will tracerote to whatever you need to test | 08:53 |
poyntz | you'd be surprised. a lot of the time they just say "thread close due to insufficient information" | 08:53 |
ActionParsnip | jove: you need to have wine 0.9.35 installed to install the dev package | 08:54 |
poyntz | ey ActionParsnip, is kubuntu-desktop the full kubuntu package? | 08:54 |
ActionParsnip | poyntz: then keep it alive asking "what information do you need of me" etc | 08:55 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: i'll do that next time | 08:55 |
jove | actionparsnip: how to get wine 0.9.35 ? | 08:55 |
ActionParsnip | poyntz: its kde plus all the apps which are installed in a standard kubuntu install | 08:55 |

ibmx61 | hi | 08:55 |
Hans_Henrik | whenever i open a shell, it spam "bash: /dev/null: Permission denied" a few seconds before i can write anything :s never happened before, any ideas what has happed? | 08:55 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: any way I could just get KDE, and run the gnome apps off it? | 08:55 |
lengend | jove, what country are you from? | 08:55 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: that's probably a stupid question | 08:55 |
ActionParsnip | poyntz: if you have gnome apps like gedit installed, you will also et kate and kwrite so expect duplicate apps, you can uninstall the apps you dont need | 08:56 |
Tartaros | where can I set what's the title of an xterm window/tab ? - nvm I figured it out. If anyone happened to care, it's in ~/.bashrc script | 08:56 |
poyntz | Hans_Henrik: I'm picking you don't have root access from the user account you've logged into | 08:56 |
ardchoille | poyntz: kde apps run fine in gnome and vice versa | 08:56 |

poyntz | ardchoille: but the scripts may not. take transkode for example... | 08:56 |
SultansElephant | ActionParsnip : you can run KDE apps in GNOME and vice-versa it'll automatically install the dependencies | 08:56 |
ActionParsnip | SultansElephant: absolutely, some are weird but will run | 08:57 |

ActionParsnip | jove: try adding the wine repo, may help | 09:02 |
SultansElephant | jove : all right, i will accept that you need wine for whatever reason. go to winehq.com | 09:02 |

anarcap | powertool08 - Yes, I know about the aspect ration option. However, that only the changes the output and will only force the 4:3 into 16:9 thus streching out the video.

ActionParsnip | poyntz: i'm 5th largest answerer on launchpad too :) | 09:13 |
Tartaros | superpaco: define "iso out my installed ubuntu". Also, don't repeat your questions like there's no tomorrow | 09:13 |
superpaco | ISO | 09:14 |
poyntz | ActionParsnip: wow. same pseudo? | 09:14 |
ActionParsnip | Tartaros: i think like a prtition image | 09:14 |
superpaco | well easy I have a ubuntu with a lot of compilations on the kernel I want to make a copy of that copy | 09:14 |
superpaco | simple | 09:14 |
lengend | does wine usually lag? LIke i click on my task bar to go to winamp, but it won't come on-top | 09:14 |
ardchoille | lengend: you're running winamp in wine? | 09:15 |
ActionParsnip | superpaco: you can use partimage to backup your partition, it will also compress it for you, you can then easily restore the partition using the same tool, you will not be able to boot from the image | 09:15 |
powertool08 | lengend: Why are you using winamp in wine? Audacious is the same thing but newer | 09:15 |
ActionParsnip | !winamp | 09:15 |
ubottu | winamp is a windows music player. On Ubuntu you can use audacious as alternative. | 09:15 |
ardchoille | lengend: Why not just run audacious? It doesn't need wine and it uses the same skins, it's almost a winamp clone | 09:15 |
manitu | ActionParsnip, booted the notebook with knoppix now.. i can fully access the hdd :( | 09:16 |
lengend | well, i need winamp because of shoutcast | 09:16 |
poyntz | !amarok | lengend | 09:16 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about amarok | 09:16 |
lengend | but i will give Audacious a try though | 09:16 |
ActionParsnip | manitu: then check the dmesg output and loaded modules | 09:16 |
Hans_Henrik | ActionParsnip: i guess its off-topic but what is lubuntu? | 09:16 |
superpaco | no but I want to make an ISO so I can install it on other computers... is that possible on ubuntu??? is possible on BT that is ubuntu based | 09:16 |
Rsb | hello... how can i deactivate the mouse pointer. I use a touchscreen? Can I add something in xorg.conf | 09:16 |
ActionParsnip | !lubuntu | Hans_Henrik | 09:16 |
poyntz | !info amarok | lengend | 09:16 |
ardchoille | lengend: I was told audacious does shoutcast. Have you tried it? | 09:16 |

n2diy | My test box has grown up, and is ready to leave the nest, how do I secure it, before setting it free in the wild? | 09:17 |
ActionParsnip | Hans_Henrik: ok, its ubuntu with LXDE as default, its like MoonOS but is officially recognised by Canonical | 09:17 |
poyntz | ok, thats about my level of service today. i'm out kids. ciao! | 09:17 |
poyntz | thanks for the help | 09:17 |
powertool08 | superpaco: Maybe its done in the same fashion as BT's method? | 09:17 |
lengend | ok downloading now, thank you | 09:17 |
ActionParsnip | manitu: lsmod will show the loaded modules (drivers), you can also run: dmesg | less and read the bootup to see whats different | 09:17 |
lengend | ohh btw the command is "sudo apt-get install audacious" right? | 09:17 |
Tartaros | n2diy: wanna secure it, or set it free? can't have both :P | 09:17 |
superpaco | no | 09:17 |
suigeneris | how do I query the packages on my system? | 09:17 |
ardchoille | lengend: yes | 09:17 |
lengend | ok ty | 09:18 |
superpaco | I check the directory where its the ISO and is not there | 09:18 |
silv3r_m00n | how to run quanta plus on kde 4 ? | 09:18 |
n2diy | Tartaros: I want to set it free, but remove my data first. | 09:18 |
ActionParsnip | superpaco: you can make an identically sized partition to yours and then use partimage to spit the file onto the new system | 09:18 |
superpaco | backtrack creates a directory with an ISO that has all your modules | 09:18 |

manitu | ActionParsnip, with knoppix? because ubuntu does not boot, already tried different kernel versions which still was in grub and the recovery.. couldn't boot it | 09:19 |
superpaco | ActionParsnip, hoo that sound interesting | 09:19 |
ActionParsnip | manitu: yes, they are both Linux so are technically the same OS | 09:19 |
superpaco | how can I do that??/ | 09:19 |
superpaco | where is a tutorial? | 09:19 |
superpaco | do you have a link?? | 09:19 |

Tartaros | n2diy: afraid I don't really understand what you're talking about :) | 09:19 |

=== master_ is now known as ashiswin |
Hans_Henrik | is there a way to chown a folder to several users? | 09:21 |
powertool08 | Hans_Henrik: Only one user can own it, the group and other permissions allow others to read/write to it. | 09:21 |
ailleantsian | i have a nvida card, and never had a problem with the other releases, when i install the nvida restricted drives, and reboot i can no longer get gnome or kde desktops but get what I like just a terminal full screen | 09:21 |
n2diy | Tartaros: I have a test box, and a mission critical box. I now have a new test box, so the old one is redundant, and should be disposed of. I want to donate the test box, but don't want my data exposed to the new owner of the test box. | 09:22 |
powertool08 | n2diy: Google DBAN | 09:22 |
suigeneris | Package flashplayer-mozilla is not available, but is referred to by another package. <--- what does that mean? | 09:23 |
hassanakevazir | ailleantsian, try sudo nvidia-xconfig , then restart | 09:23 |
n2diy | powertool08: ok. | 09:23 |
lainy | everytime i change my volume i have to fiddle between both master and pcm in alsamixer... is there an easier way, i.e., just one combined volume control? | 09:23 |
Tartaros | n2diy: burn the disk then, that's the only secure way :P | 09:23 |
ashiswin | umm | 09:23 |
ashiswin | hello | 09:23 |
powertool08 | n2diy: I've also heard if you use dd to overwrite the entire thing with all 0's or all 1's its pretty much unrecoverable. | 09:23 |
ActionParsnip | Hans_Henrik: you'll need to make a group, add them (and root) to the group, then use chown :groupname_here folder | 09:23 |
ashiswin | anyone who knows how to develop an operating system pleeeeeease pm me. very very urgent | 09:23 |
ailleantsian | suigeneris , ihad that problem but in the software library in gnome in the other category there is a flash player there | 09:23 |
ActionParsnip | Hans_Henrik: you can add -R to make it a recursive chown, and you'll need sudo if your user is not the owner | 09:24 |
powertool08 | lainy: Turn one all the way up and use the other to change the volume, save the setting with 'sudo alsactl store 0' | 09:24 |
ailleantsian | hasanakevazir: so if i install the nvida drivers again and when i reboot get to that or should i do that before trying to install them again | 09:24 |
Tartaros | ashiswin: you're urgently developing an OS? that's kind of funny. But good luck with it, especially here :) | 09:24 |
ActionParsnip | ashiswin: i suggest you look into gentoo for that | 09:25 |
ashiswin | Tartaros: im looking for womeone with experience | 09:25 |
ashiswin | ActionParsnip: why? | 09:25 |
n2diy | Tartaros: , powertool08, ok, but, I want to preserve the system, just get my stuff off it. My thoughts are to reinstall, but only reformat the /home partition. | 09:25 |
hassanakevazir | ailleantsian, if your drivers are no installed do that. by the way whats your nvidia card? | 09:25 |
suigeneris | !find flashplayer-mozilla | 09:25 |
ubottu | Package/file flashplayer-mozilla does not exist in karmic | 09:25 |
ActionParsnip | ashiswin: its a good place to start developing your own OS from | 09:25 |
hassanakevazir | ailleantsian, if your drivers are right now installed do that. by the way whats your nvidia card? | 09:26 |
ikonia | suigeneris: check out flashplugin-nonfree | 09:26 |
ActionParsnip | !flash | suigeneris | 09:26 |
ubottu | suigeneris: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 09:26 |
powertool08 | n2diy: Hmm, if you had put home on its own partition this would be easy... | 09:26 |
ashiswin | ActionParsnip: Gentoo??? Cant i use ubuntu? | 09:26 |
n2diy | powertool08: I did. | 09:26 |
ActionParsnip | suigeneris: if you want the 10.1 flash and have 32bit ubuntu you can download the file to ~/.mozilla/plugins | 09:26 |
ActionParsnip | ashiswin: sure, you'll be using apt-build though. Depends what your perception of "develop" is | 09:27 |
Tartaros | ashiswin: of course you can use ubuntu. You didn't say what you need to do so far | 09:27 |
ActionParsnip | ashiswin: if you mean "install" then download the desktop ISO, MD5 test it, burn it and boot to it | 09:27 |
ailleantsian | hassanakevazir: NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 | 09:27 |
powertool08 | n2diy: Ok, so just boot from a live cd, mkfs <preferred filesystem> on the home partition, mount it and create needed directories, restart. It will lose all user specific settings, but your info will be gone. | 09:28 |
om26er | i change the exorg for custom resolution but has no effect. i can get 1368*768 but not 1280*1024 | 09:28 |
hassanakevazir | he is spamming around asking how to develop an OS, i call troll ... | 09:28 |
om26er | i am using nvidia driver 185 | 09:28 |
ashiswin | Tartaros, ActionParsnip: i mean creating a bootloader and kernel and making the bootloader call the kernel | 09:28 |
suigeneris | ActionParsnip, there's no ~/.mozilla/plugins. should I mkdir? | 09:29 |
ActionParsnip | suigeneris: indeed | 09:29 |
Tartaros | ashiswin: "creating" as in programming? | 09:29 |
ashiswin | Tartaros: yea | 09:29 |
hassanakevazir | ailleantsian, ok, then install the restricted drivers, run sudo nvidia-xconfig and restart | 09:29 |
Tartaros | ashiswin: well, why? | 09:29 |
n2diy | powertool08: umm, ok. That seems like work! Wouldn't reformatting /home do the trick? | 09:29 |
ashiswin | Tartaros: I got plans, why dont u pm me | 09:30 |
Tartaros | ashiswin: why would I? :) | 09:30 |
powertool08 | n2diy: If you have some extra space on the drive, make a new partition, mount it in place of the current /home, once happy, delete the other partition and add the freed up space to the new /home partition. | 09:30 |
ashiswin | Tartaros: Well, u seem to know OS dev | 09:31 |

ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 09:31 |
powertool08 | n2diy: That's what I said to do, but I don't think you can do it while running the system you are changing, hence the live cd. | 09:31 |
ailleantsian | hassanakevazir: I run that command and get command not found | 09:31 |
n2diy | powertool08: this is my test box, everything is backed up already. (knock on wood) | 09:31 |
powertool08 | n2diy: Also, the command mkfs is used to format. | 09:31 |
Tartaros | ashiswin: i do? wonderful news. Anyway as I said, good luck with that here... this is support channel for ubuntu, which is an already established OS. | 09:31 |

suigeneris | thank you ActionParsnip | 09:32 |
Parsi | what's different between ubuntu 32-bit and 64-bit? | 09:32 |
ActionParsnip | suigeneris: you should then remove any flashplugin packages you have installed like flashplugin-installer or flashplugin-nonfree | 09:32 |
Parsi | does 64-bit run faster? | 09:33 |
ActionParsnip | suigeneris: as well as any gnash and swfdec packages too | 09:33 |
ActionParsnip | Parsi: in some situations yes, as just a desktop, no | 09:33 |
alankila | Parsi: depends on application. 64-bit systems have a nasty tendency to allocate 8 bytes per pointer, which can be a real memory drain. | 09:33 |
Parsi | ActionParsnip: what about converting video files ? | 09:34 |
powertool08 | n2diy: I don't know for sure if you can reformat home on a live system, I'd think you'd have to be at init 3 (single user mode) at least, but best to do it from a live cd. | 09:34 |
ActionParsnip | Parsi: thats where it is faster, data translations are faster | 09:34 |
alankila | most applications do not actually need the memory available from this wide pointer, so it is wasted memory. | 09:34 |
Parsi | ActionParsnip: is there any converter for ubuntu that supports 64-bit? | 09:34 |
n2diy | powertool08: roger that, thanks. | 09:34 |
ActionParsnip | alankila: unused ram in linux is used as disk cache to make hdd access faster, so is in no way wasted | 09:34 |
hassanakevazir | ailleantsian, then uninstall the restricted drivers, and either use "envyng-gtk" to install your nvidia drivers, then run the command, or use a ppa repository, I use https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa | 09:34 |
ailleantsian | hassanakevazir: I opened the termninal again and it worked however i got this : Vailidation Error, Data incomplete in file /ect/11/xor.conf uneined device "(null)" referenced by screen | 09:35 |
alankila | ActionParsnip: that in no way addressed what I said. | 09:35 |
ActionParsnip | Parsi: all the ones on the repos will be 64bit if your install is 64bit | 09:35 |
ailleantsian | " default Screen " | 09:35 |
powertool08 | n2diy: np, good luck. Time for me to go to bed. | 09:35 |
=== SultansElephant is now known as kkjwwqot |
hassanakevazir | xor.conf?? | 09:35 |
alankila | I'm saying that 64-bit java uses 2x the memory of 32-bit java, for instance. If your workload is pointer heavy, 8 bytes per pointer is a real drag. | 09:35 |
Parsi | ActionParsnip: wow, thanks | 09:35 |
ailleantsian | sorry my keyboard is a bit broke and it woulnt let me copy and past | 09:35 |
n2diy | powertool08: 10-4 on sack time, me too, 73 | 09:36 |
ailleantsian | its Xorg.confi | 09:36 |
alankila | (which is why they came up with -XX:UseCompressedOops for Java, to use 32-bit pointers even on 64-bit VM, so this problem is gone.) | 09:36 |
ActionParsnip | Parsi: yeah its pretty sweet, you also need it to address more than 3Gb RAM (unles you install the server kernel which has PAE) | 09:36 |
ailleantsian | trys to copy and past again : | 09:36 |
ailleantsian | VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. | 09:36 |
ailleantsian | Undefined Device "(null)" referenced by Screen "Default | 09:36 |
ailleantsian | Screen". | 09:36 |
alankila | otherwise I haven't been able to identify any significant performance improvements from running 64-bit or 32-bit. If you don't need > 2 GB of memory, I don't think it matters to go for 64-bit. | 09:36 |
n2diy | 4g? | 09:37 |
Parsi | ActionParsnip: unfortunately my mainboard does not support more than 2GB of RAM | 09:37 |
alankila | there may be some benefit, but these are generally sucked away by the loss of wide pointers or lower support in applications like java, mono or firefox | 09:37 |
alankila | err... by the loss implied by wide pointers... | 09:37 |
theneoindian | hi , i installed db2 . but typing ./db2cc gives error : db2javit: not found | 09:37 |

Parsi | i do | 09:38 |
theneoindian | what is uupdatebd | 09:38 |
ActionParsnip | Parsi: then 64bit will be a little better under those apps, the rest will rn as fast as the 32bit | 09:39 |

alankila | well firefox under 64-bit sucks at least | 09:39 |
alankila | firefox has javascript jit only for 32-bit | 09:39 |

Parsi | alankila: have you any idea about firefox 64-bit? | 09:40 |
axeeffect | is there a issue with DSL in karmic....i cant connect to my net ...it though use to work in 9.04 | 09:40 |
ActionParsnip | Parsi: most apps arent 64it in windows yet | 09:40 |
hullo | hello, how does vino go about automatically configuring the network to accept connections in ubuntu 9.10? | 09:40 |
alankila | Parsi: yes, I run it, and it goes with JIT disabled because people don't still support 64-bit properly. | 09:40 |

ubuntu-liveuser | When I boot Ubuntu, I get all kinds of fundamental errors like not being able to mount the stuff in fstab etc. | 09:50 |
ActionParsnip | dutchbuntu: as long as they are different its fine, and empathy works which means the logic is ok | 09:50 |
ubuntu-liveuser | I can mount everything fine from the 9.10 live cd. | 09:50 |
ActionParsnip | ubuntu-liveuser: did you MD5 test the ISO, did you run the CD verifier? | 09:50 |
ubuntu-liveuser | Question: how can I repair the operating system on the harddrive? | 09:50 |
Jetsetlemming | How do I change the settings for Grub so it pops up a list of OS's every time I turn on my computer? I have Ubuntu 9.10 and WinXP installed but Grub just auto-boots Ubuntu | 09:50 |
dutchbuntu | ActionParsnip, no FF is not the problem. FF still has access. Evolution, Empathy, XChat don't. | 09:50 |
ubuntu-liveuser | ActionParsnip: I am running from the CD. I did the upgrade via the network. | 09:51 |
CptnAwesome | hi folks, i've just setup a new xubuntu box to test some scripts on, but i would like to setup ssh access to it, i've done "ssh 192.168.0.250" on my laptop, but i get "Connection Refused" | 09:51 |
ubuntu-liveuser | ActionParsnip: but I did so on the advice on someone in this channel. I believe the advice was wrong. | 09:51 |
suigeneris | Jetsetlemming, increase the time | 09:51 |
Jetsetlemming | suigeneris: and how do I do that? | 09:51 |
ubuntu-liveuser | ActionParsnip: I basically did sudo apt-get dist-upgrade with only karmic repositories. | 09:51 |
ActionParsnip | ubuntu-liveuser: ok cool, you can chroot to the installed system, or simply edit the files on the partition | 09:51 |
n2diy | CptnAwesome: Does the error message ID the offending file? | 09:52 |
ubuntu-liveuser | ActionParsnip: yes, I know that procedure. | 09:52 |
Jetsetlemming | And I didn't even see a menu at all, I was watching when it loaded. It went straight from the Bios splash screen to the Ubuntu loading logo | 09:52 |
ActionParsnip | ubuntu-liveuser: that isnt advised, you should use update manager | 09:52 |
suigeneris | Jetsetlemming, timeoutx | 09:52 |
axeeffect | Jetsetlemming change goto terminal and run sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:52 |
ubuntu-liveuser | ActionParsnip: I know, but update manager doesn't work with a proxy. | 09:52 |
=== friendishan is now known as roronoa |
ubuntu-liveuser | ActionParsnip: the problem basically is: what do I need to install to get the system in the same state as I would get on the LiveCD? | 09:53 |
axeeffect | read the comment in the file | 09:53 |
Jetsetlemming | axeeffect: that file is blank | 09:53 |

ActionParsnip | ubuntu-liveuser: then use the alternate CD, there is an update script tere which wil upgrade yo gracefully, editting the sources file is not advised and will cause issues | 09:53 |
CptnAwesome | n2diy, i just need to know how to enable SSH on the machine =) | 09:53 |

ubuntu-liveuser | ActionParsnip: something like chroot /media/<foo> sudo apt-<something>? | 09:54 |

ActionParsnip | axeeffect: use !grub etc | 09:55 |
roronoa | !grub | axeeffect | 09:55 |
ubottu | axeeffect: 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. | 09:55 |
dutchbuntu | ActionParsnip, that won't help Evolution, I guess... | 09:55 |
axeeffect | :) | 09:55 |
CptnAwesome | n2diy, what do you want to know, the version is "OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-5ubuntu1, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007" | 09:55 |
Jetsetlemming | !grub2 | 09:55 |

ActionParsnip | dutchbuntu: you could tell the routing to push all requests for the vpn address down the vpn and the rest down the lan, you are going to have to shape the traffic a little, seems its not auto negotiating | 09:57 |
n2diy | CptnAwesome: just wanted to make sure it was installed. | 09:57 |
SandGorgon | Antagonist, pagefile is simply swap partition ... so I suppose yes | 09:57 |
ubuntu-liveuser | ActionParsnip: so, is there a way to do it via the network? | 09:57 |
Jetsetlemming | Ah, I see grub2 has moved from menu.lst to grub.cfg | 09:57 |
ActionParsnip | ubuntu-liveuser: not sure, i dont use a proxy | 09:57 |
ActionParsnip | !grub2 | Jetsetlemming | 09:57 |
ubottu | Jetsetlemming: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 09:57 |

axeeffect | @action...how to fix dsl connection problem | 09:58 |
Jetsetlemming | ActionParsnip: So how do I make Grub2 show a menu every time I turn on the computer, then? Because it still automatically loads ubuntu. I'm trying to dual boot with xp. | 09:58 |
axeeffect | its a pppoe | 09:58 |
zsolt | how can I install fairsight2?it is not in the synaptic,I use Carmic | 09:58 |
JordanC | Hey there folks. Does anyone know how I would be able to install MonoDevelop with Sqlite/MySQL/etc support on Karmic? I'm missing Mono.Data assembly at the moment. Can I do this using the package manager, or do I need to manually compile the app? | 09:59 |
ActionParsnip | Jetsetlemming: you need to add an extra script / entry to grub2's config then run: sudo update-grub and it will be added. I don't use windows so have no experience of this | 09:59 |
Antagonist | By default, if Ubuntu has its own hdd, how many partitions does it create? I'm still busy downloading so unable to test | 09:59 |

dutchbuntu | ActionParsnip, that was a good tip and easier to realize then you thought. Edit VPN Connection -> IPv4 Setttings -> Routes -> Check 'Use this connection only for resources on its network'. Does exactly what you described. | 10:02 |
JordanC | cheiz: Yeah, seems down | 10:02 |

Antagonist | Okay, maybe some background. I have a 500GB HDD dedicated to Vista(soon formatted and Win7), 1500GB NTFS data HDD, and a 80GB space HDD. That 80GB I would like to partition between Gentoo and Ubuntu. I envision this as partitioning it into 4 parts, /boot, swap partition, (both those shared between both linuxes), and a / for each.

JediMaster | I've got several virtual Ubuntu servers running on Xen hypervisor in a datacenter in the UK, yesterday the entire DC was DDOS in a huge attack and it took everything down for 2.5 hours. I'm trying to figure out how to fail over to a different data center. The only thing I can think of so far is to clone the site/database on to another machine in a different DC, and use it as secondary DNS, then check the site is up with scripts and cha | 10:22 |
JediMaster | nge the DNS to point to the second DC should it go down (with low TTL). Any better ideas? | 10:22 |
JediMaster | don't want to have a single point of failure, so something like a reverse proxy is out of the question as it is the single point. | 10:24 |
ActionParsnip | JediMaster: you'd need a gateway to failover between the 2 systems | 10:24 |
om26er | i cannot set custom resolution in ubuntu9.10 using nvidia and the driver version 185 | 10:24 |
JediMaster | ActionParsnip, single point of failure? | 10:24 |
kostkon | Garbin, hmm. what jvm do u use? | 10:24 |
ActionParsnip | JediMaster: could have 2, there will have to be a single point at some point, the IP of the whole thing | 10:24 |
Garbin | kostkon, java-6-sum | 10:25 |
kostkon | Garbin, aha ok | 10:25 |
JediMaster | ActionParsnip, at least with my DNS based idea the only problem is a small downtime with the DNS propagation with the low TTL | 10:25 |

ricree | I'm having sound sound issues since the upgrade to 9.10. Certain programs such as rhythmbox have very slow and choppy sound, while others such as VLC work absolutely fine. Any suggestions on how to fix this? | 10:38 |
Skunk8709 | Action Parsnip: I have tried many searches for my particular and came up empty handed | 10:38 |
Skunk8709 | Problem* | 10:39 |
laur | ActionParsnip why i can't view MKV video file ? the screen is black and sound is running... PC config: 2 GB ram ddr2 | Core 2 Duo 3.0 GHZ | Nvidia GForece 7300/7500 GS | 10:39 |
l43a2 | use VLC | 10:39 |
l43a2 | it should play fine in that | 10:39 |
ActionParsnip | Skunk8709: then websearch the make/model of the device you are using | 10:40 |
laur | @ same with SMpalyer | VLC | MPlayer | 10:40 |
ActionParsnip | laur: codecs? | 10:40 |
laur | wich codecs ? | 10:40 |
kostkon | ricree, er, which apps exactly? | 10:40 |
Garbin | kostkon, thank you very much, the problem has gone!!!! | 10:40 |
kostkon | ricree, all of them, except vlc? | 10:41 |
kostkon | Garbin, :) | 10:41 |
laur | which* | 10:41 |
laur | N/A | 10:41 |
laur | i think... | 10:41 |
Garbin | thank you again:) | 10:41 |
ActionParsnip | !codecs | laur | 10:41 |
ubottu | laur: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 10:41 |
ricree | kostkon: so far, I've noticed the problem with rhythmbox, banshee, and pidgin. Totem, VLC, and flash video sound all seem to work fine | 10:41 |
kostkon | ricree, :/ | 10:41 |
kostkon | ricree, ok. hmm | 10:41 |
ricree | kostkon: Also, mp3s work fine on VLC, so I don't think it's a codec issue | 10:41 |
kostkon | ricree, it's not, yeah | 10:41 |
wers | how do i make evolution download read messages? I have a couple of messages in my corporate email. the thing is, i cant access them on evolution because they're marked as read on outlook | 10:41 |
kostkon | ricree, hmm | 10:42 |
Fenrir_ | I have problems with my pppoe connection in ubuntu 9.10 | 10:42 |
kostkon | ricree, it's an upgrade, so | 10:42 |
ricree | kostkon: My best guess was a library issue somewhere since it's limited to certain programs, but I'm not sure how to track it down past that | 10:42 |
kostkon | ricree, first thing you could try is to delete the .pulse folder in your home, if there is one, then logout and login again | 10:42 |
ActionParsnip | ricree: killall pulseaudio; rm -rf ~/.pulse* then reboot | 10:43 |
laur | oke how install bin files ? | 10:44 |
ActionParsnip | laur: chmod +x file; ./file | 10:44 |
SquarePi | somthing is wrong with Ubuntu Karmic. I can play movies, including full HD movies, on windows smoothly but not on Ubuntu. :-( | 10:44 |
simulation | hello guys | 10:44 |
simulation | how can i use $_GET variables in theme :S | 10:45 |
ActionParsnip | SquarePi: have you ran: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 10:45 |
simulation | i cant access the $_GET | 10:45 |
ricree | I deleted the .pulse folder and logged out and in. No difference | 10:45 |
kostkon | ricree, hmm ok | 10:45 |
simulation | sorry wrong chan :) | 10:45 |
SquarePi | ActionParsnip, no, I am playing my videos using vlc but those are just codecs | 10:45 |
ActionParsnip | SquarePi: yes, you will need codecs to play certain files | 10:46 |
kostkon | ricree, ah, it could be a gstreamer related prob | 10:46 |
ActionParsnip | SquarePi: if you don't have codecs, you cant play the file | 10:46 |
SquarePi | ActionParsnip, if I don't have the codecs, they won't play at all. since I can play them I have the codecs | 10:46 |
ricree | kostkon: any suggestions on how to start checking whether it is? | 10:46 |
ActionParsnip | SquarePi: have you installed and configured video drivers? | 10:46 |
RiotingPacifist | which lame -V setting is about 96kbs? or where can i look up this sort of data, it's not in the man | 10:47 |
SquarePi | ActionParsnip, yes, nvidia driver | 10:47 |
kostkon | ricree, first of all, try going to pidgin's sound prefs and check which driver is selected. | 10:47 |
ActionParsnip | SquarePi: is it the same in other media players, like mplayer? | 10:47 |
SquarePi | haven't tried mplayer yet | 10:47 |
ricree | kostkon: automatic | 10:48 |
kostkon | ricree, what other options do you have? | 10:48 |
ActionParsnip | SquarePi: you could also try adding the medibuntu repo and installing w32codecs (or w64codecs if you re using 64bit ubuntu) | 10:48 |
Andorin | I'm trying to manually mount my flash drive because Ubuntu doesn't want to auto-mount it anymore... when I type "sudo mount /dev/sdf /mount/point" it tells me I have to specify a file system type. What's the syntax? | 10:48 |
ActionParsnip | SquarePi: may be an issue with vlc, if it works in other players then its a vlc issue | 10:48 |
ricree | kostkon: ESD, ALSA, Command | 10:48 |
kostkon | ricree, ok. change it to alsa | 10:49 |
kostkon | packages.ubuntu.com is down :S | 10:50 |
ricree | kostkon: Hmm... it seems to be working now | 10:50 |
kostkon | ricree, pidgin's sound? | 10:50 |
ricree | kostkon: pidgin, that is | 10:50 |
Andorin | Guys, I know that the system is recognizing it as a flash drive because both dmesg and lsusb list the name of the flash drive. I just can't browse or modify the files. I assume this is a mount problem? | 10:50 |
kostkon | ricree, ok | 10:51 |
kostkon | ricree, now for the rest | 10:51 |
ricree | kostkon: one sec, I'm going to close it and reopen | 10:51 |
kostkon | ricree, ok | 10:51 |
ricree | kostkon: since that was the only sound I know for sure was bugged before | 10:51 |
ActionParsnip | Andorin: can you see the partition in the output of: sudo fdisk -l | 10:51 |
Andorin | ActionParsnip: Yes. | 10:51 |
opossum_oisif | hi, how do I install aptana on ubuntu? | 10:52 |
ActionParsnip | Andorin: and if you run: mount can you see the partition mounted? | 10:52 |
disappearedng | any tools to visualize xml data in the command line? | 10:52 |
ricree | Ok, yeah, pidgin sound is working now | 10:52 |
ActionParsnip | !info aptana | 10:52 |
ubottu | Package aptana does not exist in karmic | 10:52 |
stimpie | Iam looking for panel or script to easily confure domains on apache2+exim, could somebody recommend something simple? | 10:52 |
X3 | hello boys girls and undecided | 10:53 |
ActionParsnip | opossum_oisif: you could find a PPA for it | 10:53 |
X3 | actionParsnip hi just the man | 10:53 |
opossum_oisif | ActionParsnip, what is a PPA? | 10:53 |
ActionParsnip | !ppa | opossum_oisif | 10:53 |
ubottu | opossum_oisif: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 10:53 |
Andorin | ActionParsnip: No, I don't see it in the list. | 10:53 |
X3 | google ppa searc | 10:53 |
opossum_oisif | ActionParsnip, hum thx a lot! | 10:53 |
X3 | 8search | 10:53 |
ActionParsnip | Andorin: then you will need to mount it manually | 10:53 |
Andorin | Hoo boy. | 10:54 |
ricree | kostkon: pidgin sound works when set to ALSA | 10:54 |
ActionParsnip | !mount | Andorin | 10:54 |
ubottu | Andorin: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 10:54 |
kostkon | ricree, :) | 10:54 |
ricree | kostkon: and now to see about getting that for the media players | 10:55 |
kostkon | ricree, yeah | 10:55 |
kostkon | ricree, now, could you press alt+f2 | 10:55 |
X3 | ActionParsnip: I have a grub2 upgrade from legacy it boot works fine except is I issue update-grub I get a silly error : not foundt/grub: 7: | 10:55 |
kostkon | ricree, and give: gstreamer-properties | 10:55 |
ActionParsnip | X3: not sure, ask the channel | 10:55 |
ActionParsnip | !grub2 | x3 | 10:56 |
kostkon | ricree, ah, just wanted to ask, you are running pulse, right? | 10:56 |
ubottu | x3: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 10:56 |
X3 | erm I have done that thx | 10:56 |
X3 | theres no mention of that error anywhere | 10:56 |
kostkon | ricree, i am askign in case that you have removed for some reason | 10:56 |
kostkon | removed it* | 10:56 |
aaron11 | Hello Is there a way to get PySQlite? I realy need it so that I can setup supybot | 10:56 |
kostkon | ricree, did the gst properties window open? | 10:57 |
Andorin | ActionParsnip: Alright. I'm looking at the instructions, and trying them. When I run "sudo mount /device/location /mount/point" I get an error: it wants me to specify a filetype. | 10:57 |
X3 | Anyone pls I have a grub2 upgrade from legacy it boot ok, works fine except is I issue update-grub I get a silly error : not foundt/grub: 7: | 10:57 |
ricree | kostkon: yeah, but it didn't work for me in 9.04, so my guess is that this is some holdover from getting sound to work then | 10:57 |
ricree | kostkon: yeah | 10:57 |
X3 | theres no such error documented | 10:57 |
kostkon | ricree, w8. you removed it? | 10:57 |
ActionParsnip | Andorin: you need to make a new folder to mount to: sudo mkdir /media/usb for example | 10:57 |
ricree | kostkon: I didn't remove it, but I set everything to use OSS | 10:58 |
aaron11 | Does http://pysqlite.org/ exist? | 10:58 |
Andorin | ActionParsnip: Done. | 10:58 |
ActionParsnip | Andorin: you then mount using: sudo mount /dev/partition_name /media/usb -o uid=1000 and you'll be ok. change partition_name to whatever the partition is named (e.g. /dev/sdb1) | 10:58 |
Andorin | Oh, gee, another channel troll. | 10:58 |
=== pshr_ is now known as _pshr |
kostkon | ricree, ah. intereting then. it could be that the option to use oss for gst apps on 9.04 remained also on 9.10 | 10:58 |

PhantomLink | in fullscreen mode | 11:03 |
PhantomLink | then they won't know XD | 11:03 |
ActionParsnip | PhantomLink: so if i ran linux i wouldnt be able to work would I. | 11:03 |

Will123456 | hey guys. quick question: for a 1.6 ghz single core AMD XP with a gig of DDR RAM, is it worth going to xubuntu just for a quick boost of speed? it's fine running ubuntu but can struggle with some websites, esp. if there's quite a few tabs up. (i've read that xubuntu is quicker than ubuntu but actually not THAT much quicker, not as much as they make out anyway) | 11:05 |
ohnoes | simplexio: I type slowly, because of another keyboard layout. | 11:05 |
X3 | aaron11 if the rpos exit yes | 11:06 |

ricree | odd, showing up in synaptic | 11:09 |
ActionParsnip | Andorin: so the command would be: sudo mount /dev/partition_name -t vfat /media/usb -o uid=1000 | 11:09 |
ricree | kostkon: but yeah, it's installed | 11:09 |
kostkon | Will123456, indeed | 11:09 |
carverm | Mahaju - you might start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/getting-started.html | 11:09 |
ActionParsnip | Andorin: for example, you'll need to change the partition_name and type if its not vfat | 11:09 |
Will123456 | ActionParsnip: thanks, i guess i may as well stick with ubuntu then (it's for my mum and she's more familiar with gnome) :) | 11:10 |
Andorin | ActionParsnip: Right, right... trying it now. | 11:10 |
kostkon | ricree, eh, which device is selected in gst properties in default output | 11:10 |
ricree | kostkon: the odd thing is, when I hit the test in gstreamer properties and OSS is selected, it sounds just like my problem. But both ALSA and PulseAudio work fine | 11:10 |
carverm | Mahaju - sorry, try this link instead https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/newtoubuntu/C/index.html | 11:10 |
ricree | kostkon: So it's like it's ignoring the gstreamer-properties and going with OSS anyways | 11:10 |
kostkon | ricree, but your apps still sound choppy | 11:10 |
ActionParsnip | Will123456: cool, if she likes it then stick with it, user interface familiarity an all | 11:10 |
kostkon | ricree, then, hmm | 11:11 |
Andorin | ActionParsnip: ARGHH! It's still rejecting the command. | 11:11 |
kostkon | ricree, yeah, it could be | 11:11 |
ActionParsnip | Andorin: you get the idea, just tweak and tweak until its good, there are lots of guides online | 11:11 |
X3 | well thx for no help at all dont have a clew why this channel exists the questions asked mostly here are n00bish when someone asks a real question noone knows sod all | 11:11 |
kostkon | ricree, try this, just to make sure. w8 | 11:11 |
ActionParsnip | Andorin: if you use http://pastebin.com to give the output of: sudo fdisk -l I can give te command | 11:11 |
Andorin | ActionParsnip: k | 11:11 |
carverm | The greeter application is crashing in my Jaunty installation after I allowed Update Manager to update packages recently. I've done lots of web searching to no avail. Can anyone assist? : ) | 11:12 |
Will123456 | X3: what was your question? | 11:12 |
Will123456 | oh | 11:12 |
Will123456 | he's gone | 11:12 |
Andorin | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/d67c3c9fc | 11:12 |
kostkon | ricree, eh, do you have anything in .config/totem? | 11:12 |
ricree | kostkon: no | 11:13 |
ActionParsnip | Andorin: ok the partition is /dev/sdf1 | 11:13 |
ricree | kostkon: wait, nm. was in the wrong folder | 11:13 |
ricree | kostkon: there's a state.ini | 11:13 |
kostkon | ricree, ok. check in .gnome2 | 11:14 |
kostkon | ricree, do you have a totem_config file? | 11:14 |
ActionParsnip | Andorin: sudo mount /dev/sdf1 /media/usb -t vfat -o uid=1000 | 11:14 |
kostkon | ricree, or a totem file | 11:14 |
=== froosch_ is now known as froosch |
ricree | kostkon: totem's one of the programs that works. Would it likely make a difference? | 11:14 |
kostkon | ricree, ah, totem works | 11:14 |
mahaju | Could anybody please helpme? | 11:14 |
kostkon | ricree, tell me again the ones that don't work | 11:14 |
chelz | mahaju: whatcha need? | 11:15 |
ActionParsnip | Andorin: this has a vfat guide too: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mounting-windows-partition-onto-ubuntu-linux/ | 11:15 |
ricree | kostkon: rhythmbox and banshee are the only two I can confirm at the moment. Also, banshee wasn't installed until the issues cropped up with rhythmbox, so I don't see it being a config issue with that program | 11:15 |
kostkon | ricree, ok | 11:16 |
ricree | kostkon: My guess is that I've screwed up the config for gstreamer somehow, but I'm not sure how | 11:16 |
kostkon | ricree, both are gstreamer apps, yeah | 11:16 |
Andorin | ActionParsnip: Now take a look at this http://pastebin.com/d7eb3f949 | 11:16 |
kostkon | ricree, but totem is a gst app too | 11:16 |
kostkon | ricree, hmm | 11:16 |
carverm | The greeter application is crashing in my Jaunty installation after I allowed Update Manager to update packages recently. I've done lots of web searching to troubleshoot, but gnome desktop is hosed. Can anyone assist? : ) | 11:17 |
ActionParsnip | Andorin: ok has this stick been in a windows sstem before putting it in your linux system? | 11:17 |
kostkon | ricree, eh, what device is selected in gst properties, in the default output section | 11:17 |
ricree | kostkon: like I said before, it's almost like those apps are ignoring the settings from gstreamer-properties. I'm not sure what would cause that | 11:17 |
ricree | kostkon: one sec | 11:17 |
kostkon | ricree, there should be a drop down below the plugin one | 11:18 |
ricree | kostkon: default at the moment | 11:18 |
Andorin | ActionParsnip: Yes, but not for a while now. Um, if it helps, I was experimenting with TrueCrypt in order to get the hang of it using this flash drive... so that might have something to do with why I can't mount it? | 11:18 |
kostkon | ricree, aha. what other options are availablwe to selet? | 11:18 |
ricree | kostkon: STAC92xx Analog and STAC92xx Digital are the other options | 11:18 |
ActionParsnip | Andorin: did you just rip the device out of the system or did you use the saftely remove hardware function in windows? | 11:18 |
ricree | kostkon: and NVIDIA HDMI | 11:18 |
kostkon | ricree, hmm. then, select the analog one | 11:18 |
Andorin | Oh my God. >_< | 11:18 |
ronald__ | how to unlock this /var/lib/dpkg/lock?? | 11:19 |
ActionParsnip | Andorin: ? | 11:19 |
cookie_ | hi everybody | 11:19 |
kostkon | ricree, and test your apps again | 11:19 |
ActionParsnip | ronald__: close synaptic | 11:19 |
ricree | kostkon: not at first. Going to try relogging | 11:19 |
ronald__ | how i close the synaptic? | 11:19 |
cankoy | carverm: can you log in from console? | 11:19 |
carverm | Cankoy - yes I can | 11:19 |
Andorin | ActionParsnip: I'm really sorry for wasting your time. This WAS a TrueCrypt thing- if I have the drive formatted the way I do then I have to mount it myself with TrueCrypt. I just got it to work. At least now I know more about mount..... again, sorry for the time waste. | 11:19 |
ActionParsnip | ronald__: its a window on the desktop, like gedit or openoffice | 11:20 |
cookie_ | how to change vdi type form fixed-size image to dynamically expanding image ? | 11:20 |
ActionParsnip | Andorin: you got the gold, thats all that matters:) | 11:20 |
ActionParsnip | Andorin: you also learned the mount command some which is good, many users can't | 11:20 |
cankoy | carverm: tried any apt-get commands? | 11:20 |
ActionParsnip | ronald__: only 1 app can access the packages at once | 11:20 |
carverm | cankoy: I've tried apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. One sec and I'll type error I got when running update | 11:21 |
ricree | kostkon: no change | 11:21 |
Andorin | ActionParsnip: Yeah, it doesn't seem too difficult in principle... this drive just magically wouldn't mount. Which, for TrueCrypt's purposes, is actually rather nice. Thanks for your help. | 11:21 |
ActionParsnip | ronald__: if synaptic isnt running and you are not installing any packages then you can run this: | 11:21 |
ActionParsnip | !aptfix | ronald__ | 11:21 |
ubottu | ronald__: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 11:21 |
kostkon | ricree, :/ | 11:21 |
Gab_ | hi | 11:21 |
cankoy | carverm: first do an 'apt-get clean' before them | 11:21 |
carverm | cankoy: ok, sec | 11:21 |
Acegi | Hi, quick question. What command do I use to detect what wireless module is in use? | 11:21 |
kostkon | ricree, you could try reinstalling gst | 11:21 |
conb123 | How do i get my bottom window bar back after i removed it to make way for awn? | 11:21 |
cookie_ | conb123, you have to add it manually | 11:22 |
conb123 | cookie_: Oh man that's annoying | 11:22 |
carverm | cankoy: did apt-get clean, then apt-get update. no problems there. when running apt-get upgrade it wants to upgrade some, I select "y" and I get an error when trying to upgrade totem-common | 11:22 |
ActionParsnip | conb123: right click desktop -> add panel | 11:22 |
Gab_ | programs are erased to clear the wine? | 11:22 |
kostkon | ricree, but it's strange yeah. do you have a 4th gst app you could test? :D | 11:23 |
ricree | kostkon: I'll give that a try | 11:23 |
conb123 | Actionparsnip: Yeah got it just thought i could maybe do something like dpkg-reconfigure | 11:23 |
ricree | kostkon: can you think of any off the top of your head? | 11:23 |
Irakirashia | How do I set the common home folder permissions for my account? | 11:23 |
ActionParsnip | conb123: nar, much simpler | 11:23 |

cankoy | carverm: can you pastebin please? (as many lines as possible) | 11:23 |

cookie_ | anyone know how to change VDI disk type in VirtualBox? | 11:23 |
ricree | kostkon: anyways, reinstalling gstreamer right now, maybe that will help | 11:24 |
ActionParsnip | cookie_: have you asked in #vbox ? | 11:24 |
carverm | cankoy: "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpks returned an error code (1)" | 11:24 |
kostkon | ricree, yeah | 11:24 |
ActionParsnip | carverm: if you use http://pastebin you can give the whole output | 11:24 |
cookie_ | o thanks, i don't know, that this channel exist | 11:24 |
Irakirashia | ActionParsnip I want to set, not to see :P | 11:24 |
MenZa | ActionParsnip: Your link sorta broke. | 11:24 |
Irakirashia | ActionParsnip I just forgot the correct number to do the chmod -R | 11:24 |
ActionParsnip | Irakirashia: do you want to change the owner? | 11:25 |
emergion | ss | 11:25 |
Irakirashia | ActionParsnip Uhm, maybe changing the owner will do, thanks, I'll do it | 11:25 |
carverm | ActionParsnip: I'm in this chat session on another comp. Not sure how to use pastebin from the command line of the broken ubuntu box? | 11:25 |
ActionParsnip | Irakirashia: theres no usiversal as some files may need to be executable, others may not | 11:25 |
Irakirashia | ActionParsnip I just mod +x any executable ween needed | 11:25 |
ActionParsnip | Irakirashia: cd /home; sudo chown $USER:$USER ./$USER | 11:25 |
ActionParsnip | oops | 11:26 |
conb123 | ActionParsnip: Right so what exactly do i need on the bar again, window list, show desktop button, that's it isn't it? | 11:26 |
ActionParsnip | Irakirashia: cd /home; sudo chown -R$USER:$USER ./$USER | 11:26 |
ActionParsnip | add a space between -R and chown | 11:26 |
ActionParsnip | and $USER | 11:26 |
ActionParsnip | Irakirashia: cd /home; sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./$USER is what you need | 11:26 |
Irakirashia | Thanks ActionParsnip ;) | 11:27 |
ActionParsnip | Irakirashia: if you use a recursive chmod you may remove the executable permissions where it is needed, the owner will have the right access for writability | 11:27 |
Irakirashia | I know ActionParsnip, don't worry, I just woke up and forgot that chown existed :P | 11:28 |

cankoy | cookie_: there's no in-place fixed<->dynamic conversion. You need to clone it using the command I specified, see vbox manual for details. | 11:34 |
ActionParsnip | djdarkman: not aware of such a service | 11:35 |
djdarkman | it's something called gdu-notification | 11:35 |
djdarkman | it always tells that the harddrive is failing | 11:35 |
cookie_ | cankoy, yes i use it, but i'm bit strange about this | 11:36 |
ActionParsnip | djdarkman: have you fsck'd the drive. Maybe a test with the manufacturers testing tool will clear it up | 11:36 |
ActionParsnip | djdarkman: seems to be a daemon process, you could disable it | 11:36 |
conb123 | Ohhhh what is that command in ubuntu for sending messages to other users on the network? | 11:36 |

carverm | cankoy: I did. Happy to run it again | 11:37 |
cankoy | carverm: then update, followed by upgrade | 11:37 |
carverm | cankoy: apt-get clean has been run (just now). apt-get update runs fine also | 11:38 |
carverm | cankoy: apt-get upgrade indicates totem-common will be upgraded. When I accept with "y" is when it tries to upgrade and generates the error | 11:38 |
