[00:00] rance94: I don't know anything about virtualbox, but try asking a more specific question. What exactly do you want to do with virtualbox that you need help with? [00:00] i need some help, i have an usb tv tuner it works as far as getting all channels, but i do not get any sound if i try using it with cable, if i use OTA antenna it works fine, any suggestions thx [00:00] 'E: libbeecrypt6: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 [00:00] E: librpm4.4: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [00:00] E: rpm: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured ' <-- i keep getting that whatever i try to install! [00:00] lstarnes i have a windows 7 .iso and i need help running it :( [00:00] I have a problem with my USB modem on Ubuntu karmic, anyone got an idea, please? [00:00] :-) [00:01] okay, uused the paste.ubuntu.com [00:01] I tried mount /dev/sdf3 /mnt -t vfat, and it returns "mount: /dev/sdf3: can't read superblock" [00:01] nevets04: try typing F9 [00:01] even if I can't write, I NEED to read [00:01] how can i know if im longlife banned ? [00:01] SeaPhor: how it works out now? [00:01] skande: from where? [00:01] hi, where can I find the ubuntu equivalent to http://goodbye-microsoft.com? (i.e., an ubuntu win32-loader) [00:01] ah, ha - here is the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/323898/plain/ [00:01] Flannel: heres what i see after choosing language, kbd, time zone, etc. the partitioner. http://imagebin.ca/view/n1Syni.html [00:01] no [00:01] jongbergs: ^^ [00:02] i need the qt4.4 repo for deb packages in karmic. anyone know what it is? For hardy it was deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main [00:02] Here is the info on mounting NTFS and FAT32: NTFS = "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/windisk -o force FAT32 = "mount -t vfat -o umask=000 /dev/sda1 /media/disk" (of course change with your real drive names) [00:02] which java runtime do i need to installf or this please ? http://jreepad.sourceforge.net/jar/ [00:02] rance94: I don't know how to do that, but someone else here might [00:02] synaptic appears to have a couple of choices [00:02] njbartlett: yeah, scim doesn't seem to work in karmic, try configuring the key bindings for switching to hiragana/katakana/latin in the anthy properties, if you don't see the language bar when you switch to anthy mode you can access them directly here /usr/lib/ibus-anthy/ibus-setup-anthy [00:03] SeaPhor: what's the output of sudo fdisk -l [00:03] SeaPhor: Try closing the installer and trying to load up gparted (or just sudo fdisk -l) [00:03] lstarnes: so how ?? [00:03] njbartlett: when I first installed ibus in karmic, the language bar wasn't showing up, but for some reason after purging and reinstalling all the ibus packages the language bar appeared [00:03] returned "can't read superblock" [00:03] ok 1 sec Flannel and jongbergs [00:03] skande: from where are you banned? [00:04] #ubuntu-fr [00:04] i need some help, i have an usb tv tuner it works as far as getting all channels picture anyway, but i do not get any sound if i try using it with cable, if i use OTA antenna it works fine, sound and picture, any suggestions thx [00:04] I'm banned from #linuxmint-chat and their others [00:04] trism: Thanks. With ibus should I see a separate language bar, or just the keyboard+world icon in the menubar? [00:04] I was going to try tor to override it [00:04] skande: please go to #ubuntu-ops if you want to ask about your ban [00:04] mcurran, how would you override a ban? [00:04] ok thanks [00:05] I was thinking by masking my ip address somehow [00:05] oh, makes sence [00:05] mcurran: have you tried talking to the op(s) that banned you? [00:06] yeah, he's completely unreasonable, hence the reason I got kicked also [00:06] anyone can help mount -o force a vfat partiton, that returns "can't read superblock" from "mount -t vfat -o umaks=000 /dev/sdf3 /meida/pics" [00:06] mcurran: have you tried another op? [00:06] bans usually expire in a half hour or so [00:06] if I run a card that will goto 1600x1600 max resolution on a monitor 2048 x 1152 what will it actually display? its an ATI HD 3200 chip === yofel_ is now known as yofel [00:06] Guest13587: are you sure that /dev/sdf3 is the correct device? [00:06] well in my experience, nautilus will show the drive regardless of that error message or not after the force command [00:06] try tor to mask your ip, there are some specifics to make it work with irc google it [00:06] Flannel: jongbergs fdisk -l did nothing, here is what gparted sees... http://imagebin.ca/view/Bx3G7J.html [00:07] Guest13587: change your name to something unique [00:07] hi, where can I find the ubuntu equivalent to http://goodbye-microsoft.com? (i.e., an ubuntu win32-loader) [00:07] Yeah I got tor, but haven't continued with that project yet [00:07] I like it here anyways [00:07] hi everybody [00:07] wubi is included on the livecd, h725 === Guest13587 is now known as forcemount [00:07] njbartlett: yeah there should be a language bar too if you enabled it in the ibus properties, if it doesn't show up I would try purging all the packages that start with ibus and then reinstalling them, that worked for me [00:07] h725: there isn't anything web-based like that, but there is wubi [00:07] MenZa: wubi does not install to a real parition [00:07] partition [00:08] Help with Flash Plugin 1.Using Ub8.04 2.Plugin freezes sometimes when loading a page containing a flash video, freezes for 10 to 20 seconds, unfreezes and plays (sometimes) 3. What to do thanks! [00:08] h725: Neither does this, if it's a .exe file. [00:08] but to a file on a windows partition... I don't want that [00:08] for my java runtime do i use the OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime in the sofware center ? [00:08] It didnt do this before (about 2 days ago it was fine) [00:08] excuse me men/ladies, does someone alredy set up a tftp server ? [00:08] MenZa: read it/try it but thanks for trying to help [00:08] how can i install ubuntu on my gameboy? [00:08] I'll have a look, h725 :) [00:08] calwig: from where did you install flash [00:08] calwig, did you uninstall flash and install the nonfree version through synaptic, that usually fixes things [00:08] h725: you want to install it inside of windows? or alongside windows? or what exactly do you mean by a win32 loader? [00:08] i need some help, i have an usb tv tuner it works as far as getting all channels picture anyway, but i do not get any sound if i try using it with cable, if i use OTA antenna it works fine, sound and picture, any suggestions thx, i'm using a realtek on board ALC889a [00:08] I am sure /dev/sdf3 is correct, I have 2 other partitons mounted from /dev/sdf1 and /dev/sdf2 [00:08] coachz: I think so [00:08] thx [00:09] it's called win32-loader and it modifies the windows boot-loader-menu to give you the option to load the installer on next reboot [00:09] which is a full debian installer [00:09] My screen goes blank after I flip down the lid on my Asus laptop. [00:09] I mean, after I wake it up again... [00:09] win32-loader is the name of the package that prepares the windows system to boot the debian installer on next reboot [00:09] forcemount: did you try without specifing the fstype? [00:09] Billiard, Likely I installed it from the popup of Firefox about 3 months ago (its been working fine since then up until 2 days ago) [00:09] ? [00:09] h725: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows Will get you there, I don't know of a canned version like that though. [00:10] branstrom_ there's special modules for many asus notebooks, look online for berlios and others [00:10] calwig: try installing flashplugin-nonfree from the package manager [00:10] Billard, "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" [00:10] mcurran, yes I uninstalled thru synaptic (complete removal) then reinstalled. Flash works now, but when it loads it freezes the browser for a few seconds, that didnt happen before, it just loaded immediately the video [00:10] Billiard, ok [00:10] mcurran: "look online for berlios and others"? What's berlios? [00:11] It's a fresh install. Doesn't it fetch that automatically? [00:11] forcemount: sudo fdisk -l tells you it is a fat32 partition? [00:11] Flannel: thx for the link... the Windows NT/2000/XP (using Grub) method looks promissing [00:11] too bad there is no 'canned' version as you call it [00:12] trism: Great, will try that thanks [00:12] Flannel: nothing? [00:12] it says "/dev/sdf3 30693 38913 66035182+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA) [00:12] well I had an asus g1sn and I used their asusg50oled module - but there are other drivers and acpi modules - I think their called asus-acpi or asus-notebook, there are also some in the kernel by default, I'd check to make sure there getting loaded (/etc/modules, blacklist for modprobe, etc.) [00:12] SeaPhor: No, try a 9.04 CD, see if it has the same problem (we're trying to figure out if its 9.10's liveCD or your new mobo) [00:12] anyone here had luck getting karmic to run under Xen using a debootstrapped image? or just in general for that matter [00:13] I have a problem with my USB modem on Ubuntu karmic, anyone got an idea, please? [00:13] :-) [00:13] Flannel: ty, 904 is current and that is a good delta,,, [00:13] SeaPhor: Right, but try the 9.04 liveCD [00:14] Anyone familiar with USB wired ADSL router/modem setup in 9.10? [00:14] Flannel: right,, unfortunately i am live so i'll have to sign out and reboot [00:14] Billiard, is the flashplugin-nonfree the only one that needs to be installed in order for flash videos to load ? [00:14] SeaPhor: The liveCD isn't always a good indicator of the install itself. Sometimes live stuff goes all wonky and regular installs work just fine, etc. [00:14] jongberg: no dice [00:15] I just need to read from it, is there ANY way to do that? [00:15] jongberg: (how do i get my settings back? :P) [00:15] anyone know which package is needed for OpenGL? (I am trying to compile something but cmake tells me that OPENGL is NOT FOUND) [00:15] Flannel: i'll join on other box as Anacranom if you have important msg for me [00:15] calwig: should be [00:16] mcurran: turns out i've been using nm-applet (it's the default network manager) [00:16] Now I can't even get a WIRED connection going, with a fresh install. What the heck is going on... [00:16] rebooting [00:16] forcemount: are you able to mount this partition in another OS, like windows, you know the partition is formatted fat32? [00:16] mcurran: it does indeed let me make new profiles with specific security preferences, but when i try to connect using them it just makes a new profile and deems it a WPA & WPA2 personal security) [00:16] SHould I eat candy? WOuld it affect my ubuntu anyhow? [00:17] * forcemount is now known as acovrig [00:17] Anyone familiar with USB wired ADSL router/modem setup in 9.10? I'd surely love to have a networking guru walk me through configuring it. [00:17] Billard, no [00:17] Billiard, ok thanks [00:17] calwig: np, so its all working now? [00:18] Does anyone know if there is a flash plugin for Ubuntu9.04ppc(Powerbookg4) available? [00:18] branstrom: there is a simple power management gui that lets you select what you want the computer to do when you close the lid - I just don't remember the command to get to it... Hold on I'm looking. [00:18] unapiedra: is there something like a -dev file for opengl? also try apt-get build-dep something [00:18] country0129: its much easier to just use an ethernet cable if your modem has that [00:18] calwig: Only the opensource ones [00:18] Billiard, I will do it later, the player is working properly, it only freezes once then plays. does it again once its closed and reloaded, Im streaming something live atm [00:19] Thank you, Mr. Billiard, but I don't have a NIC card for firewire. [00:19] calwig: Flashnonfree is only for Intel (clones) hardware [00:19] syn-ack, easy way to install? [00:19] this external uses USB, not firewire, if that means anything [00:19] country0129: your computer doesnt have an ethernet port? [00:19] Unislash: My guess would be that someone setup a WPA encryption key then and it's being detected. You'll need to find out what the key is. [00:19] calwig: Look for gnash in synaptic [00:19] Question: how does ubuntu switch the various libraries for GL stuff between nvidia and "normal"...Is there a way a user can switch to the non-nvidia GL libraries on a case by case base? [00:19] You cannot crack WPA - Well maybe, but good luck with that [00:19] hey, wonder if someone can help, its doing my head in now...i have an ath9k and the download is fast but keeps dropping slowly to 0, then up to top speed and slowly to 0...its frustrating [00:19] syn-ack, ok [00:19] Can anyone suggest a program to cleanly erase a drive, similar to dban, that doesn't require me to reboot my PC [00:20] mcurran: but i know what the key is... :P [00:20] Flannel, SeaPhor here, looking for a 904 disk, got 8.04... [00:20] cba123: shred [00:20] It does, Mr. acovrig... I have a westell 327w with both firewire and usb connections...but the ol' Compaq dinosaur doesn't ahve it. [00:20] mcurran: windows xp, windows 7... all my roommates... it it the correct key [00:20] Anacranom: can't hurt to try that one, although 9.04 would be better. [00:20] Flannel, Shred does whole drives? [00:20] Well apparently you're putting it in wrong - make sure 0's are 0's and O's are O's - That kept me out for a while on mine actually [00:20] cba123: Yep, just feed it /dev/sda or whatever [00:20] cba123: shed can do anything [00:21] well, I was saying that because it might have something to do with my mounting problem [00:21] syn-ack, in PPc you mean [00:21] cba123: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda or so [00:21] mcurran: hehe, yea, i've had that one time... unfortunately, there is no O's or 0's to get confused with... aepiuwesponda--pretty hard to mess up 20 times [00:22] hello all, my shift-space keyboard shortcut for scrolling back in apps such as evince and firefox is not woking. Can anyone please help me ? (karmic, compiz disabled, us-layout keyboard) [00:22] Flannel, ok, found the official 9.04, mailed to me from canonical...trying now [00:22] Unislash is there a tab on the bottom that lets you select open system or shared key? Try the other... [00:22] Hmm, all it took was a reboot for the wired connection to get alive again. [00:23] Flannel, Any way to get a progress bar? I did "sudo shred /dev/sdl" and nothing [00:23] Your driver could also suck - what chipset are you using for wireless [00:23] Anyone familiar with USB wired ADSL router/modem setup in 9.10? "lsusb" sees the port, the modem, but networking won't put it live. [00:23] is there ANY way to mount this? (read-only would be just fine) [00:23] mcurran: a tab on the bottom.... hmmm [00:23] acovrig: mount what? [00:23] Unislash, yeah the same window where you put in the key [00:24] cba123: add -v option for verbose output [00:24] WOW, this server looks like a good nerdy one for me! [00:24] a FAT32 partiton from a USB external (from the user forcemount (switched computers)) [00:24] Anyone? [00:24] hello all [00:24] acovrig: ah, did you even format it fat32? [00:24] no, read from it [00:24] !hi | the_masam [00:24] the_masam: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [00:24] mcurran: i'm using a... boy, i don't remember the chipset on my main box, but on the other one i do indeed have a pretty old chipset; i'm using b43legacy drivers [00:25] acovrig: what? so it is or isnt formatted? [00:25] ViaNocturn85, It helps if you repeat what you said, so people don't have to scroll up to see what you asked [00:25] i thoke irc is pretty dead [00:25] but this channel is damn full [00:26] mcurran: but the card on my main box (the one i'm testing this all on) is only a year old, so it should (well, hopefully) have a good chipset--it worked in ubuntu right out of the box on other networks [00:26] it is a 320GB external w/ 3 partitons HFS+, and 2 FAT32s, I can mount the HFS+ and 1 of the FAT32, but not the other FAT32, if I try the -o force option, it just says that there is something w/ the superblock thing [00:26] what is the name of the linux brower that used the FF engine. Euporia??? is that correct [00:26] well, ubuntu is pretty popular right now [00:26] jongbergs: is there any way to get my gnome config files back? :P [00:26] userlevel: People idle in MSN, AIM, Yahoo!, etc all times. IRC is just one of them and it is more fun having everybody in a channel than one-on-one dialogue. ;o [00:27] can't read superblock - what does it mean? [00:27] cba123: I'm sorry, but I have a download speed at top speed which then slowly drops to 0, then back up, then 0...this isn't the case on Windows. I have an ath9k, btw WIFI is my problem here [00:27] acovrig: Means you didn't shut down properly - just force mount [00:27] acovrig: not formatted, or corrupted or wrong fstype [00:27] mkjgtft [00:27] use the 3g driver to mount with a superblock [00:27] acovrig, you may need to plug the HD into a windows box and reboot, then shut down [00:28] ghyt [00:28] correct fstype, did shutdown properly [00:28] what is the name of the linux brower that used the FF engine. Euporia??? is that correct [00:28] mcurran: i'm not seeing that system/shared key box in this security type. if i go to wep i see it, but it won't let me use wep [00:28] not running windows from it, just a pool of pictures [00:28] lotec The engine is called gecko, so google on linux and gecko. [00:28] do you have an external connection you could use to hook it into a winbox? [00:28] Unislash: Well I think I'm out of guesses for you. Sorry. [00:28] Hi: How can I cause applications to NOT use the nvidia binary driver libraries without fully uninstalling the nvidia driver stuff? (IE what does disabling the nvidia binary driver through the gui tool do with respect to making things work again)? [00:28] what wireless card do you have [00:29] puff: the FF engine? [00:29] hi all having some fun tryiong to get a broadcom 4303 wireless working under Karmic... ran sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter which installed the drivers... I get http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/62201 in dmesg... The driver shows as active in Hardware Drivers but the wlan is shown as disabled... And I can't get it up!!!! Any ideas? [00:29] Anyone familiar with USB wired ADSL router/modem setup in 9.10? (lsusb) 'sees' the port, properly sees it as Westell (327w), but I can't get networking to establish a connection. [00:29] Unislash: afaik, rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity will reset gnome settings [00:29] Hi all, my desktop has frozen but the rest of the system is working (maybe a better way to describe: I can't click any icons on the desktop). In windows I'd sort this type of problem by relaucnhing explorer.exe. This has happened twice now in ubuntu, is there a quick way to restart whatever I need to get things working again without restarting the whole system? If this is helpful... the last time this happened and I restarted the laptop, I [00:29] apparently fglrx/ati driver doesn't work with the new karmic kernel + 3000 series cards [00:29] got a message about File Manager not responding and I hit force quit. Thanks [00:29] jongbergs: sure did :P [00:30] ViaNocturn85, How far from the router? How many walls and such? What type of wireless (a, b, g, g mimo, n)? Where are you downloading from? [00:30] jongberg: eh, i'll just put them back... anyhoo, that didn't work... any other guesses? [00:30] Oh, even if i'm sat next to it lol...a b/g [00:30] selinuxium - you need to type "sudo modprobe b43" [00:31] cba123: The downloads can be from the same country using http...ftp or usenet...its all the same problem [00:31] ViaNocturn85, Are you using Wubi by chance? [00:32] ok Flannel i', on live cd 904 from canonical.. [00:32] cba123: haha no, I'm a linux geek, Windows is only due to school [00:32] cba123: its a dual-boot to be exact [00:32] <------<<<< linux ignorant [00:32] syn-ack, thanks for the suggestion on gnash, sometone is going to try atm [00:32] mcurran: I have done that now... Still not come up... [00:32] ViaNocturn85, And you aren't downloading to a NTFS/Fat32 drive are you? [00:33] SeaPhor: And do you see partitions and stuff? [00:33] is there a commanline command that can set my WS into pauze mode ? [00:33] I can do it from gnome === dvz-_ is now known as dvz- [00:33] cba123: No [00:33] can i install xfce over gnome? [00:33] country0129, if you found yourself in this channel, you are less ignorant ;) [00:33] osotogari: yes [00:33] osotogari: you can install it alongside gnome ;) [00:33] Thanky, Sir. [00:34] any way to mount a corrupted fat32 partition in ubuntu at least read-only - I am desperate [00:34] how to pauze my system from the commandline ? [00:34] @ MikeChelen, MatBoy : just by apt-get install xfce ? [00:34] no suspend, but pauze :) [00:34] Flannel, gparted showed them before, just not the installer/partitioner.. [00:34] ViaNocturn85, Not too sure then [00:34] But 2 weeks of no internet on my desktop makes me ignorant due to being too poor to buy a new 'puter with a NIC card. [00:34] selinuxium: Did you do modprobe -r ndiswrapper, because that sometimes interferes - I had to do modprobe b43 and after a few seconds there were wireless networks showing up - If not, just add one manually and add b43 to /etc/modules/ and restart [00:34] I have a problem with my USB modem on Ubuntu karmic, anyone got an idea, please? [00:34] :-) [00:34] hi, I'm running NBR, where would firefox download any temporary files? [00:35] I have the same problem, Bostikforever. [00:35] osotogari: probably want to use the xubuntu-desktop package [00:35] cba123: It's so odd...its persistant speed through windows, but on Linux it is so unsteady [00:35] Or a similar problem. [00:35] mcurran: no i did not -r ndiswrapper... Should I do that? [00:35] mhh, no-one very set their system to pauze from trhe commandline ? [00:35] When desktop effects are enabled and I connect to my ubuntu desktop all I see is just a blank screen. Is there no way to share desktop and also have desktop effects enabled? [00:35] @ MikeChelen : Ill check it out. Thanks [00:35] Yeah, sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper [00:35] ViaNocturn85, Could be the driver, is it Linux native, or ndiswrapper? [00:35] s_s|laptop: if it's ubuntu like, probably a folder in ~/.mozilla/firefox/.default [00:35] Then, sudo modprobe b43 again [00:35] ah. [00:36] hey, I was wondering if anyone knows how to modify the "places" menu [00:36] native, the standard that came with Ubuntu [00:36] if you have a ati 3000 series card, fglrx (activating it) won't work... it will mess up your X [00:36] osotogari: after installing there should be a login option to pick gnome or xfce [00:36] Anyone familiar with USB wired ADSL router/modem setup in 9.10? (lsusb) 'sees' the port, properly sees it as Westell (327w), but I can't get networking to establish a connection. [00:36] Does anyone know the general configuration area for power management and mouse and keyboard that's not gnome-power-management? [00:36] Hi all! when installing software, does ubuntu verify the package before installing?? [00:36] member:s_s%7Claptop also check /tmp [00:36] acovrig: you could try fsck.vfat, but i would do a backup of the partition first [00:37] Unislash: try looking at the this gnome editor, launch it by gconf-editor command [00:37] @gdiz - I know you can edit ~/.gtk-bookmarks by hand but I don't know any other way. [00:37] acovrig: do you know what partition it is? [00:37] mcurran: Cheers I will go for a reboot then... [00:37] SeaPhor: Ah, really? I imagine the Alternate CD will work just fine to install, and once you've installed, you probably won't have problems. [00:37] yes, /dev/sdf3, I can mount 1 and 2 [00:37] but not 3 [00:38] Palimpsest Disk Utility says "68 GB Unrecognized" [00:38] love: it should, thru gpg keys [00:38] jongbergs: ok, what should i edit in there?

Linkys/Broadcom should just make linux drivers. [00:52] mcurran: no... via ubuntuforum [00:53] crohakon: but then I realised everything is too slow to run google wave properly, so went back to firefox [00:53] infidel2: On the contacts URI i've only written "contacts" works fine..

[00:55] randomusr: add proper repos and you'll have it; check enlightenment.org for debs from august, but I recommend compiling from svn, but it takes some time and you need to know a little what you're doing or use a proper howto [00:55] is this place I can ask linux question? [00:56] shawnboy: yes [00:56] hi everyone, trying to connect my computer to the tv, but when i reboot, the video out stops working after the system is booted. Seems like its a setting with xorg? [00:56] crohakon: it's quite interesting, but not really ready yet I think. and also still in private beta [00:56] shawnboy, an ubuntu question [00:56] shawnboy, yes, but more so Ubuntu questions. [00:56] mcurran: nope: pop. i had the checkbox working, then i set up a master pass, and when i took it off for other reasons, the checkbox isn't there any longer [00:56] Billiard, this is what it's giving me "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" [00:57] yeah, (although it would apply to any linux I suspect). here it is... i want to add files to an ISO before burning it to CD / DVD.

[00:58] Billiard, is telling me "mount: you must specify the filesystem type [00:58] " [00:58] any other suggestion ? [00:58] linuxguy2009: what's the switch to see . files with ls? [00:59] randomusr: no idea why it is not in the repos [00:59] how do you extract .rar files shawnboy [00:59] bazhang: ubuntu customization kit is for customizing an ubuntu desktop cd. Im not sure that would work for a sysrescd.iso. [00:59] VCoolio, do I need to un-install Gnome? [00:59] ubuntu customization kit sounds complex for what I'm wanting. I'm not arguing... it just seems that there would be a simpler way to "slip in" some extra files to an existing ISO before burning it.

I'll look into ISO Master. "among others"... can you name one or two more in case I need to look further?

[01:08] tsrk, use top [01:08] tsrk, use "top" [01:08] hey i'm trying to install openjdk on ubuntu 9.10, and i'm getting this error here: http://dpaste.com/123155/ .. any ideas? === ransom is now known as Ransom [01:08] temporarytao: does that automatically sort by memory? [01:08] Billiard, what are my option to get the data back [01:08] VCoolio, how well does e17 work with compiz? === Ransom is now known as CalicoJack [01:09] Flannel, dl'ing the alt now,, but why would there be a diff in the live cd's? [01:09] tsrk, i think the automatic sorting is by cpu usage [01:09] country0129: Thats a good idea, cool. Maybe you could suspend your service till then. The modem is either supported or not by the kernel. [01:09] webBuilder: sorry, please answer my question [01:09] ah never mind, looks like 'sudo apt-get update' fixed it [01:09] SeaPhor: Because it uses an entirely different installation process. [01:09] tsrk, i recommend you read the manual -> "man top" [01:09] randomusr: it doesn't; you can compile ecomorph which is a modification of compiz for e17; there is a howto for ecomorph on the same site [01:09] I'm using a keystroke as a band-aid to run modprobe on resume from suspend. There's got to be a better way. No ideas? A file in /etc/pm/config.d/ maybe? [01:09] ops sorry Billiard, there were 2 partiontion mac and Ubuntu 9.4 [01:09] kewlbns69; start it up from a terminal and see what error messages you get [01:09] * Amigadude headbutts the laptop [01:10] save settings firefox or I kill you [01:10] I found some drivers for older Linux versions. Just can't get them to work on 9.10: not supported. [01:10] webBuilder: try this... [01:10] platius i get a slew of cannot find [file].tga and various others [01:10] randomusr: http://cafelinux.org/OzOs/content/how-install-ecomorph-ozos-e17 [01:10] hey, has anyone been getting updates in the last three days or so? [01:10] temporarytao: is the VIRT column the amount of memory used? and i don't have "man" cause it's a minimal server [01:10] i haven't been getting any [01:10] is it possible to setup a 'fake domain' within my LAN to a ubuntu server(for web dev) instead of using http://ip.addr.ess/ [01:10] country0129: Perhaps a good solution till you get your nre machine is to simply revert to the 8.04.3 LTS release which the drivers were probably meant for. [01:11] What's crazy is it was working well with Windoze ME. I can 'see' the port from a terminal when I type "lsusb.' Just can't get it to network. [01:11] Does anyone know why my x64 version of ubuntu 9.10 is having problems with flash? my flash loads and everything, but when i try to click (ex: pause button, hd button, fullscreen, youtube) anything it doesn't work? Its works some times, but most of the time it doesn't HELP! [01:11] tsrk, i think it's the %mem column [01:11] webBuilder: parted image.dd , then type print if gives you a prompt [01:11] mcurran: sorry... i re-checked my accounts on thunderbird. one of them is imap, actually the first and default one [01:11] Flannel, i understand that, but i have been using this laptop since release 7.04, always a fresh install, this is the first time i have had any issue [01:11] darthmartin: Did you install flash from the repos or manually installed it? [01:11] kewlbns69; don't recognize the problem, perhaps someone else might. [01:11] darthmartin: Thunderbird2 : "Enigmail", "GcontactSync" / Sunbird : "Fournisseur pour Google Agenda" (maybe "Provider for Google Calendar") [01:12] Billiard, I did what you have told me do you want me to show you? [01:12] Does anybody know how to invoke a suspend-to-ram without a mouse? [01:12] temporarytao: may I pm you my top output? the %s don't add up to the total [01:12] linuxguy: I think so, i just installed it from "install missing plugin" in firefox, i wasn't paying too much attention [01:12] webBuilder: did it say like 2 partitions or something? or have errors? [01:13] ugh, I have karmic with a ca0110-IBG SB X-fi extreme and I have installed the backports per the bug report and still no sound :/ [01:13] puff: CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up the shutdown menu. Choose suspend. [01:13] Billiard, it did print a lots of stuff at the end it did say Ignore/Cancel? and stopped [01:13] tsrk, i think that's expected. top doesn't really show "everything" [01:13] there should be some slight discrepancies [01:13] webBuilder: idk pastebin i guess [01:13] Billiard, here is it http://pastebin.com/m5627860f [01:13] linuxguy2009: That only gives me "log out" and "Switch usre" [01:14] temporarytao: ok. i'm just confused that my LAMP server is using 500Mb of ram and it seems like apache is using most. know any way to debug that? [01:14] puff: What version of Ubuntu? [01:14] can anyone tell me the best software to use for enhanced vi? [01:14] mcurran: sorry to hassle you... but i'm assuming from your answer that you might know a solution to my problem, and i've now been struggling with it for the last 10 days and nobody has been able to provide any answer... [01:14] webBuilder: hmm lol [01:14] platius: this is what spits out when i run the launcher script http://pastebin.com/d5cb7cc71 [01:14] linuxguy2009: jaunty. [01:15] pixie_pie: emacs? :-) [01:15] uh i said vi [01:15] not emacs [01:15] how do i record with cheese so that its not sluggish? [01:15] Billiard, what happened I hope it's easy thing [01:15] puff: ALT+F1 over to system, prefs, keyboard shortcuts. Set your own keystroke for suspend. [01:15] Billiard, I have to be a super user huh [01:15] pixie_pie: You asked for enhanced vi. [01:15] I have a problem with internet access on a machine that was using wired. It was disconnected and automatically went to wireless. Now that I'm back on wired all I get is "openfire http binding service" whenever I try to use firefox. [01:15] Billiard, let me try again, it is really a long day for me [01:15] linuxguy2009: Ah,http://www.objectivistcenter.org/cth--1782-blink_think.aspx neat. [01:16] webBuilder: no you dont [01:16] puff along the lines of vim [01:16] or something like that but better [01:16] Billiard, really so what do I have to do [01:16] pixie_pie: Right, better, qued emacs. [01:16] webBuilder: well its difficult because you dont even know what this is an image of, and you dont even know if the filesystem was working when you created this image [01:16] is it possible to setup a 'fake domain' within my LAN to a ubuntu server(for web dev) instead of using http://ip.addr.ess/ [01:17] pixie_pie: Btw, you *do* know emacs has a vi emulation mode, right? [01:17] tsrk, i'm not really familiar with running LAMP servers but, i'd hazard a guess that the high memory usage would be caused by your SQL db and other services [01:17] puff: Did I miss something? Whats the article? [01:17] tsrk, i guess you have some optimizing to do :) [01:17] puff, thanks for the emacs commercial, but looking for VI solutiosn here [01:17] linuxguy2009: Which? [01:17] puff: linuxguy2009: Ah,http://www.objectivistcenter.org/cth--1782-blink_think.aspx neat. [01:17] hi all, i have been using ubuntu and linux now for a few years, and recently i have started to get very tired of the "slowness" of the desktop when there is any kind of high disk io, not exorbitantly high disk io, the whole desktop becomes unresposive, for example copying files, doing av scan, unzipping rar's adn more recently ubuntuone doing a metadata hashing on all the files in my folder (4GB or so). can anyone explain why there is this problem? doesn' [01:17] Billiard, I thank you so much [01:17] puff: When helping, please be helpful. Thanks [01:17] anyone around who can answer if its possible to install Ubuntu Desktop with Raid? [01:17] how do i record with cheese so that its not sluggish? [01:17] pixie_pie: I'm only kidding, but I am serious about the vi emulation, it's my best tool for seducing vi usres over to the emacs side. [01:18] cause ubuntu server and alternate are having problems mounting data from the usb stick [01:18] tsrk, i have a link for you "http://vps.net/forum/forums/general-discussion/850-removing-unnecessary-servies-centos-lamp-config" [01:18] pixie_pie: What do you mean by enhanced [01:18] Billiard, I'll try to recover the file again, Thank you for your time God bless you [01:18] Is there a location to download the Ubuntu distro for the Aspire One 10.1" ? [01:18] Hey [01:18] linuxguy2009: Oops, sorry, that was a miskey. Interesting review, though. [01:18] psypher246: Whats your machine specs? [01:18] it's for centOS though but it should provide some good parallels for you [01:18] puff: hehe thats ok [01:18] And i will now try out my new suspend keyboard shortcut, which if it works will mean I will not say anyhting more for a while. [01:18] linuxguy2009: doesn;t matter which machine i use, but currently a dell m6300 2.3ghz dualcore, 3gb ram [01:19] Hm. [01:19] i knew it puff! =) [01:19] I installed FCE Ultra in Ubuntu 9.10 via software center but I cant find it where is it located? [01:19] you are an emacs salesman =p [01:19] Anyone ? [01:19] yes or no would help alot [01:19] psypher246: No idea why you would experience high disk IO unless you have added 3rd party repos and have installed questionable apps. [01:20] pixie_pie: Hey, "vi vi vi" = "666", QED vi is The Editor of The Beast. [01:20] hah [01:20] linuxguy2009: Dangit, the suspend doesn't appear to work. Hm. [01:20] nm i shall solve my own problems on my own. obviously emacs is not my answer [01:20] linuxguy2009: and on a default install? [01:20] puff: What did you set the shortcut to? [01:20] Is there a location to download the Ubuntu distro for the Aspire One 10.1" ? [01:20] linuxguy2009: alt-pause. [01:21] pixie_pie: What do you mean by enhanced? [01:21] trism: Hi! Still no language bar after complete uninstall and reinstall of ibus :-( [01:21] Any help [01:21] ok Flannel i've verified the alt cd md5, am installing now, will update via Anacranom [01:21] puff: try another one besides pause maybe unusable. Try something simple first to see if it works. Then change it later. [01:21] puff: ctrl+alt+s for example [01:22] linuxguy2009: and i'm not syaing i'm experiencing very high disc io, i'm saying that if there is any kind of high disk io (not even that high,conky graphs only shows 50% usgae) the entire pc becomers complete unresponsive, most apps grey's out or don't display at all until the process is complete [01:22] can anyone tell me what is really "optimized" in UNR? (besides the display) [01:22] how do i record with cheese so that its not sluggish? could the fact that i'm using a netbook be the problem? [01:22] Is this called something? -> make http://192.168.0.12/ use a fake domain(only on LAN) http://www.fakedomain.com/ (easyer for me to access it basicly) [01:22] Is there something special I need to do to make nonprivileged user mounts work? I have placed the "user" option in the fstab line, and the mount works fine if I use "sudo mount", but mount without sudo gives "mount error: permission denied or not superuser and mount.cifs not installed SUID". mount.cifs is suid, and /etc/fstab is in http://paste.ubuntu.com/323941/ . [01:22] BLUE_BALLS, check if you haven't set the resolution too high [01:22] psypher246: Bring up system monitor and sort by CPU usage, anything peeking really high? [01:23] temporarytao, its default settings, nothing higher [01:23] BLUE_BALLS: a lower resolution usually makes cheese much more responsive [01:23] I have a problem with my USB modem on Ubuntu karmic, anyone got an idea, please? [01:23] :-) [01:23] temporarytao, lower than default? [01:23] What is the key combo for force quit === john is now known as Guest65918 [01:23] linuxguy2009: this is very repeatable especially when unzipping rar's (which i know is a bad OSS program) or copying files to USB stick (ntfs file system) but now that i have ub unbuntuone installed and everyboot have to wait 5-10 ins before i can use my machine, i am getting annoyed [01:23] BLUE_BALLS, cheese's default setting is usually optimistic. try to set it lower [01:23] linuxguy2009: no cpu is very low usage [01:23] temporarytao, I don't think it means compiler optimizations... no Compositing? I know there is the lpia for some low power intel chips [01:23] temporarytao, oh ok thanks i'll try that and maybe brb [01:24] Flannel, I want to use something like vi but not vi because vi is a pain in the butt [01:24] Force quit? [01:24] psypher246: So basically just using rars and your flashdrive is slow mainly? [01:24] I'm new to using vi so I want something like vi on crack [01:24] linuxguy2009: no [01:24] Anybody? [01:24] that is just 2 2 things i do every day [01:24] well, you either want to learn vi or you don't want to use something like vi at all [01:24] draconis, so no real benefits added then? (using an msi wind here. fast enough but i want to tweak that. :) ) [01:24] the 2 i mean [01:24] psypher246: You on 9.10? [01:24] but now ubuntuone is killing me [01:25] no 9.0.4 [01:25] pixie_pie: Can you be more specific? What do you dislike? [01:25] psypher246: Ubuntu one does nothing just sitting there. [01:25] njbartlett: not sure what else the problem could be, did you install everything in System/Administration/Language Support for Japanese and set the input method to ibus? [01:25] Flannel that I can't use the up and down arrows and stuff [01:25] temporarytao: thanks for the link, i'll look through that [01:25] Force quit Please!!?? [01:25] Hello, i have a problem with trakers in .torrent files . btreannounce.bittorrent change the tracker, but cant add trackers ... i want to do this in command line as btreannounce.bittorrent(/usr/bin/btreannounce.bittorrent http://new.uri:port/announce file1.torrent file2.torrent) . Any idea please ? [01:25] temporarytao, I personally like dwm on netbooks because things take the absolute minimum of screen space [01:25] pixie_pie: Er... You should be able to. Have you installed "vim" itself? the default vim is stripped down and lacks those features. [01:26] I have a Biostar P4M900-M4 motherboard and also have a 3.2 GHz Pentium 4 processor. The manual says that the motherboard can handle up to 4 GB of RAM. So my question is can a 32 bit Ubuntu recognize all the 4 GB of RAM ?? [01:26] Flannel so you think I should use vim? [01:26] linuxguy2009: no ubuntuone is busy hashing my files, every single time i start it [01:26] Can anybody hear me? [01:26] pixie_pie: With vim you can use arrow keys, yes. [01:26] pixie_pie: Yes [01:26] MeXTuX: not very well [01:26] trism: Yes I did [01:26] Thanks =) [01:26] parkerlreed: Yes, we can. [01:26] pixie_pie: jed or pico or nano might be what you want [01:26] evening [01:26] Any help [01:27] !helpme | parkerlreed [01:27] parkerlreed: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [01:27] psypher246: Are you on 9.10? Ubuntu One should only be doing anything only when files are added or removed from your cloud space. [01:27] how can I check which package users-admin is in? I found a bug in it I'd like to report. [01:27] linuxguy2009: this issue happens with several different programs, the ones mentioned are the ones that i do most often, but like i said any kind of slightly high disk IO and pc is useless to me [01:27] temporarytao, now its not recording audio in cheese. thanks for the video thing that did pretty good [01:27] draconis, that's from archlinux, right? [01:27] !repeat [01:27] trism: Another interesting effect, if I press the shortcut for ibus (Ctrl-Space) in any application, it causes it to hang for about 10 seconds [01:27] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [01:27] iGadget: is users-admin a program? dpkg -S `which users-admin` (dpkg -S /path/to/file) [01:27] linuxguy2009: no i am on jaunty [01:27] BLUE_BALLS, does it record audio "out of" cheese? you need to check if your mic is working [01:28] temporarytao, actually... it's generally expected for you to compile it yourself, as most of the options are hard coded [01:28] [ot] Someone know how to change a irc network (command) [01:28] temporarytao, how do i check that? [01:28] psypher246: Which apps exactly are using your high disk activity? [01:28] draconis, hmmm.... well, i guess i had to grow out of depending on ubuntu for my linux some time. :) [01:28] some help with saving passwords in thundebird? i'm going crazy! [01:28] Flannel: thanks. It appears to be part of the gnome-system-tools package.

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [01:28] and no ubuntuone is not just sitting there, i uploaded 2 gb of files 3 days ago and for the last 3 days it has been trying to upload them and everytime i start it it first has to spend 5 mins hashish (doing something to rthe disk like mad) [01:28] BLUE_BALLS, are you in 9.10? [01:29] tado, i email that kind of stuff to myself [01:29] temporarytao, yes [01:29] * iGadget is off filing bugs [01:29] BLUE_BALLS: ?? [01:29] what program would one use to write to dvd-rw s? the one in nautilus doesn't seem to support rewriting.. [01:29] Hey guys. I've got this dell mini 10 and I finally got the psb drivers working on it last night. But now it'll lock up randomly while I'm doing things, it's happened 2 times with synaptic open and probably 5 times while browsing in firefox. Any idea what I could do to remedy this situation? [01:29] tado, if you email passwords to yourself you can always have them [01:29] BLUE_BALLS, not really sure here but i guess you could try right clicking on the sound icon and checking preferences [01:29] mordof: brasero, k3b, or my personal fav Nero Linux 4 (costs just $20). [01:30] there should be a tab there for output [01:30] where is grub/menu.lst in karmic [01:30] what is wrong with the following code http://nopaste.info/d9cd367b12.html [01:30] ? [01:30] linuxguy2009: like i said unzipping rar's copying large fiels anywhere to any kind of files system, copuying files over the lan, ascanning for virusses with clamtk, running par 2 on files i got from newsgroups, all kijnds of things [01:30] draconis, can you link me to a good site for learning archlinux? [01:30] BLUE_BALLS: that's not what i meant :) i remember them all, i just want thunderbird to save passwords for my e-mail accounts. it doesn't show the checkbox to save them and i have to type in 12 passwords! [01:30] psypher246: All system updates installed? [01:30] yes [01:30] tado, oh sorry i didn't understand === vorian is now known as v [01:31] tado, my email is all browser based [01:31] this is an ongoing issue since since i started using ubuntu warty [01:31] psypher246: Does the same happen when using the live session CD? [01:31] XDS: You'll need to ask in whatever channel's support VBScript, try ##vb.net [01:31] BLUE_BALLS: that's ok, but if somebody has any clue, please DO help! [01:31] Hey all, I have a python GTK script which I would like to run at startup. Can anyone help me set that up? [01:31] linuxguy2009: i will have to test but i assume so since it happens on every ubuntu i have ever used [01:31] tado, have you tried other email clients besides thunderbird? [01:32] psypher246: Have you ever tried any other distros on that machine? [01:32] linuxguy2009: really thought this is just something most users live with [01:32] temporarytao, archlinux.org [01:32] linuxguy2009: no i haven't [01:32] I have what would seem to be a graphics driver problem. Basically, whenever I install the Recommended nvidia 173 drivers, after restarting Ubuntu, I get a black screen, and a split-second text login screen, then it goes back to black and loops. (Ubuntu 9.10, GeForce FX5200 AGP) Does anyone know of a solution? I'd like to run this natively instead of on a virtual machine [01:32] linuxguy2009: and not just this machine, every machine i have ever used [01:33] psypher246: Test ANY other OS on that machine and see if you get the same lag. may come down to a hardware issue if so. === dvz- is now known as jmlady [01:33] psypher246: Well ubuntu isnt for everyone. I personally love it. [01:33] nope. i am totally fine with thunderbird. i had the checkbox, it had saved all my passes etc. then i put a master pass, but after i took it off and deleted all the passwords saved (for other reasons), it didn't show the checkbox, so now i have to type them all in each time [01:33] linuxguy2009: so u have neer had your pc freeze up like this when copying files and doing a lot of disk io [01:33] sorry BLUE_BALLS, that was for you [01:33] psypher246: Nope. [01:33] linuxguy2009: i don;'t really want to use any other distro [01:33] is there any reason upgrading the kernel in synaptic then downgrading again would cause a driver that worked before to stop working? [01:33] what happened to grub in version 9.10 i'm lost [01:33] i have invested too much time on it [01:34] 'E: libbeecrypt6: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2' <-- i get that every time i use synaptic! how to fix this? [01:34] psypher246: Test the live cd and see if you have the same lag. if you dont then you have either installed a bad behaving app from the repos, or 3rd party repo, or maybe have introduced a new bug in the updates from my best guess. [01:34] linuxguy2009: the biggest culprit is firefox, it dies the quickest out of all apps, some still work but FF always greys out [01:34] psypher246: Go test the live cd and come back. [01:35] i need to edit boot options in grub [01:35] arcnewuss: there's grub2 in karmic. what do you need? [01:35] psypher246: ff is also starting to get bloated too [01:35] How can I run a python script at login?

[01:39] arghh2d2, does it had ODDB capability? [01:39] Need help. How can I tell what the IP address is of the PC I am currently using? I have a router, and another PC which is connected to the same router. So how can I tell the IP address of the Ubuntu PC I am using? It's the subnet mask, right??? [01:39] bastidrazor, do you know where I can find gvim? I just installed it but can't seem to locate it [01:39] df00z: you mean on an fresh install with raid [01:39] df00z: Yup! But you might have to configure it to auto boot if one of the drives goes bad [01:39] ipconfig [01:39] !oddb [01:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about oddb [01:39] psypher246: Try 9.10 maybe it has improved SATA drivers. [01:39] centHOGG: i mean if i pop in the server cd [01:39] aegimius1: ifconfig [01:39] randomusr: what's that? [01:39] Hey guys, I just upgraded a Wubi install of Intrepid that had been upgraded from hardy directly to karmic via editing /etc/apt/sources.list and apt-get dist-upgrade. Yeah, I know, I'm an idiot. [01:39] Nobody? =< [01:39] I don't want the IP address of my router obviously... [01:39] and my box already has an mdraid set up [01:39] will it autodetect it [01:40] roccity_, thanks [01:40] desktop doesnt [01:40] ne1 got a Dell Mini 10 with Ubuntu on it? [01:40] df00z: ok, yes... do you have a raid controller or is this sw raid [01:40] sw raid [01:40] Anyway, I'm experiencing a rather odd problem, namely, the screen blinks between blank and whatever the current TTY is very quickly, and constantly. [01:40] jercos: Let me guess. You have a problem? [01:40] df00z: no I don't think it will. That's only going to show up cause the system knows about it. [01:40] wow grub version upgrade is a big step compared to a firefox upgrade [01:40] arghh2d2, it's for retrieval of track names and tag info [01:40] the kernel has built in detection [01:40] if the md module is compiled into the kernel [01:40] is it? [01:40] df00z: yes, that is a bit easier for jaunty (which I use) but I haven't had a prob with a raid contrller yet [01:41] jercos: Download an ISO and reinstall fresh. [01:41] ah [01:41] df00z: Are we talking hardware or software raid? [01:41] linuxguy2009: 9.10 running on not production machine at home, same issue, but that was an upgrade, not confident enough karmic right now to re-install my work laptop, needs to be stable (despite it being slow as cancer) [01:41] software raid [01:41] df00z: No [01:41] I found that occasionally certain TTYs will mystically work when switched to, but there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it. [01:41] non-production* [01:41] I'm trying to get an SD card to be bootable. I think I followed the instructions, but it won't boot (using an EEE pc). Do I need to do anything to the SD card to make it bootable, like modifiying the boot record using fdisk? Should I reformat it to fat32 before using dd to write the files? [01:41] ugh [01:41] jercos: so it's not limited to just X sessions, but to virtual terminals as well? [01:41] psypher246:Thats why they make live CDs. Test it before you wipe. [01:41] pixie_pie: no idea, i'm on karmic and currently gvim does not exist there. probably accessories although some times a relog is necessary for the menu to update. [01:41] df00z: It won't detect it cause it doesn't know about it. The system has to be configured for that. [01:41] df00z: well you have to assemble the raid [01:41] FireCrotch: Oh, X won't start. it seems whenever the screen flashes, it crashes. [01:41] relog? [01:41] yes [01:41] reboot you mean? [01:41] randomusr: yeah, ncmpcpp searches for id3 tags and lyrics and album covers and all that. [01:41] ipconfig at terminal will tell me my ip adress? it doesnt tell me anything. i thought that command only worked with Windows [01:41] x_or does your computer let you boot from sd? [01:42] you can set the kernel to auto detect raid [01:42] pixie_pie: log out log in. not a reboot [01:42] if you have the partition type set [01:42] the kernel itself is able to do it [01:42] thanks =) [01:42] but i dont know if ubuntu is configured like that [01:42] psypher246: Otherwise consider changing disros and thats all I will say about that cause I will be yelled at for further discussion. [01:42] linuxguy2009: sure but what about the million apps i have to have installed afterwards, will have to use usb [01:42] jercos: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [01:42] FireCrotch: the frequency varies a lot, when it was going slowly I tried to start X, if it started while it was blank, it would say "no screens found". [01:42] lotec: I selected that disk in the boot menu, so I think so, yes. [01:42] arghh2d2, Sweet [01:42] linuxguy2009: nah, not an option [01:42] I think you could type /userlist here and see your ip address next to your name. [01:42] thanks anyway [01:42] brb [01:42] X-or so did you dd the image to the sd? [01:43] x_or did you dd the image to the sd? [01:43] FireCrotch: it still happens if I stop the kickstart job for gdm... [01:43] psypher246: Then youll have to live with it. Not much more I can say really. [01:43] randomusr: not sure if ncmpcpp is in standard ubuntu repos though. I know ncmpc is. [01:43] Is there a program on ubuntu that'll edit videos and like insert music in it? [01:43] FireCrotch: and the last few runs have flashed at a rate that makes it impossible to do anything. [01:43] linuxguy2009: pretty sure it's a bug, so will endeavour to fix it [01:43] !avidemux [01:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about avidemux [01:43] FireCrotch: (when it's blank, typing appears to do nothing) [01:44] ubottu is worthless [01:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about is worthless [01:44] snoopy: Look in add/remove or ubuntu software center for video editor there are many. Kdenlive is said to be an equivalent to Sony Vegas in some opinions. === v is now known as vorian [01:44] i don't know if I spelled it right avidemux [01:44] ubottu computers [01:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about computers [01:44] x_or how did you get the image on the sd? === niko is now known as evilniko [01:44] !info avidemux [01:44] avidemux (source: avidemux): a free video editor - GTK version. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:2.5.1+repack-0ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 876 kB, installed size 2300 kB [01:44] ubottu myself [01:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about myself [01:44] arghh2d2: you just need to know how to use it. [01:44] lotec: Yes, when the computer is booted it can read and mount ehe SD card, nd the filesystem is intact. But, it won't boot. Do you think I am not able to boot from it? I guess I am looking for a way to verify that I did create the boot disk properly. [01:44] njbartlett: yeah, something must be misconfigured by default in karmic, I fixed mine but I'm really not sure how...I installed ibus first by System/Administration/Language Support but that wasn't working so I tried to get SCIM back and removed ibus, but that didn't work either...finally just tried installing ibus again and it worked *shrugs* [01:44] thanks guys [01:45] i'm using it now [01:45] :) [01:45] arghh2d2: Please stop playing with the bot. If you must do so, do it privately via /msg [01:45] ubottu anything [01:45] So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone. [01:45] sorry [01:45] im done [01:45] x_or how did you make it? using DD? or ???? [01:45] lotec: Yes, using dd. [01:45] hi everyone... [01:45] x_or: You put an ISO onto the card and trying to boot it? [01:45] What skype version should I use for 9.10 64bit?! [01:45] is there any VERY VERY light gtk IRC clients? [01:45] x_or the file system you did dd on was it bootable??? [01:45] lotec: dd if=/dev/sdc of=ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.iso [01:46] xae8koo: a 64bit version of skype built for 9.10. Thats easy. [01:46] lotec: Ah, that might be missing, how do I do that? Do I use fdisk to make it bootable first? [01:46] x_or a standard iso is not bootable and dd will not make it bootable [01:46] melik: telnet + a lightweight terminal? [01:46] x_or: unetbootin is what you are in need of. ;) [01:46] lotec: OK, so use disk first, reformat as fat, then toggle boot flag, then redo the dd? [01:46] linuxguy2009: I can't find it [01:46] ugh need GUI [01:47] everytime I start ubuntu netbook remix, the screen brightness always set to maximum.... is there any way to unable this feature? [01:47] linuxguy2009: It is one for 8.10 though [01:47] Bug #486130 filed. That's all for today folks. Goodnight. [01:47] x_or no that will not work [01:47] xae8koo: If there is no package for your system then there simply isnt one. [01:47] I have what would seem to be a graphics driver problem. Basically, whenever I install the Recommended nvidia 173 drivers, after restarting Ubuntu, I get a black screen, and a split-second text login screen, then it goes back to black and loops. (Ubuntu 9.10, GeForce FX5200 AGP) Does anyone know of a solution? I'd like to run this natively instead of on a virtual machine... [01:47] njbartlett: http://pastebin.com/fbbd5fa5 these are the ibus packages I installed manually when reinstalling, perhaps I stumbled on one that isn't installed by default [01:47] linuxguy2009: I can use that, should download that then? [01:47] I haven't been able to find a working solution anywhere =( [01:48] x_or what are you trying to acomplish? are you going to install from the sd to someting or use the sd as the install? [01:48] x_or: Yes, format the card to fat32 and just point unetbootin to the ISO. Itll do the work for you. [01:48] FX5200? [01:48] linuxguy2009: But I need skype! [01:48] x_or: As long as the bios supports card booting then itl work for ya,. [01:48] xae8koo: Then downgrade your ubuntu. [01:48] Hey guys. I've got this dell mini 10 and I finally got the psb drivers working on it last night. But now it'll lock up randomly while I'm doing things, it's happened 2 times with synaptic open and probably 5 times while browsing in firefox. While running 9.04. Any idea what I could do to remedy this situation? Or if you know if there working Poulsbo drivers for Karmic. [01:49] everytime I start ubuntu netbook remix, the screen brightness always set to maximum.... is there any way to unable this feature? [01:49] xae8koo: install 8.04 32bit or 8.10 32 or 64. Your choice. [01:49] SonicFreak94: maybe try a different driver version, envy can help with this [01:49] trism: Ah, I don't have the -m17n and -qt4 bits installed. Will try adding that... [01:49] !envyng [01:49] EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver [01:49] linuxguy2009: I was not able to find a version of unetbootin for my Xandros on EEE, but will look again. [01:50] Dallas: I have a Dell Mini 10v myself. What is psb driver? [01:50] x_or: make sure to add multiverse and universe repos so you get all packages listed. [01:51] x_or: 4 repos in all. [01:51] MikeChelen: I'll check it out [01:51] linuxguy2009: 64 bit has perfomance that is bether! [01:51] zodiac: that would find large files.. what im looking for is direcectories with lots of files in them (could all be 1k in size, the file size doesn't matter, the number of files in the directory does) [01:52] SonicFreak94: the default hardware manager might also include different driver versions that might helt [01:52] *help [01:52] if my computer is only seeing on of two physical hard drive, bt they both show up in the bios and work properly, what gives? [01:53] xae8koo: 64bit has better performance as long as the program has been compiled to take advantage of the architecture. [01:53] one88 [01:53] randomusr: LBA? [01:53] randomusr: Make sure drive 2 is formatted and mounted. [01:53] MikeChelen: It showed number 96 IIRC, but I figured it'd be better to use newer drivers. They were working at some point, but one day Ubuntu started doing the thing I described, so I re-installed, and ever since installing that driver makes it do the same thing [01:54] Linuxguy2009, how? [01:54] SonicFreak94: some gfx cards like different drivers, if that version worked in the past though it should still be ok [01:55] randomusr: System admin software sources. [01:55] ok? [01:55] MikeChelen: I know, that's what I thought, but it just doesn't anymore for some reason. No matter how I install Ubuntu, it always does that now, even though it worked before [01:55] randomusr: sorry. hehe [01:55] randomusr: gparted can format it. [01:55] everytime I start ubuntu netbook remix, the screen brightness always set to maximum.... is there any way to unable this feature? [01:55] come on [01:55] ok [01:56] Hylman. If you open the power management preferences [01:56] there is "set brightness to" [01:57] SonicFreak94: it should still work, but maybe try some other version to see if they are better [01:57] anyone here familiar with vanity ip or vhost [01:57] Dallas: but that's only for AC power [01:58] on battery power there's a box for reduce backlight brightness [01:58] maybe that will do what you need? [01:58] Dallas: Do you have a mini 10 or mini 10v? [01:59] hello anybody what does this mean?: http://pastebin.com/d360a0ec1 [01:59] It's the mini 10 I believe, with the built in tv tuner. [01:59] I'm having problems with dvd playback. I did what Ubuntu says to do and it still doesnt work [02:00] The back just says mini 10 [02:00] !raid [02:00] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [02:00] !dvd [02:00] 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 [02:00] rkyraccoon55, do you have the restricted extras installed? [02:00] MikeChelen: I'll try 96 then, thanks for the info [02:00] temporarytao: yes [02:01] SonicFreak94: sure, try whichever are listed by default, then move to envy or search the forums for your video card model [02:01] OK, thanks again [02:01] I really don't know if anyone can help me with this, but the other day, my laptop had water spilled into it and now it won't boot [02:01] I really want to grab some important files off of this machine but my keyboard won't let me in [02:02] sorry my keyboard doesn't work rather [02:02] Dallas: Does it have the VGA or HDMI connector? [02:02] Is there any way at all that I can grab data off of my hd? [02:02] rkyraccoon55, what are you using to play your dvd's? what's your problem specifically? [02:02] Surely there must be a way I can get in... it boots [02:02] pixie_pie: yeah you can... but have you thourougly dried it off [02:02] Dallas: thanks a lot. I'll try that later [02:02] temporarytao: i've tried using totem-gstreamer and totem-xine [02:02] linuxguy2009: do you know anything about getting the poulsbo driver to work in 9.1? I think the random lockup has something to do with the wireless as it only does it on wireless. It has HDMI connector on the side. [02:02] clean connectors [02:02] pixie_pie: Turn it off, unplug the battery, let it dry. If you can take it apart easily, do so, it'll dry faster. [02:03] rkyraccoon55, tried vlc? [02:03] Flannel: yes [02:03] temporarytao it says error could not read from source [02:03] btw, anybody knows how to play 3gp videos with sound? [02:03] temporarytao yea, vlc just doesnt do anything when i tell it to play [02:03] pixie_pie: If you never turn it on when it's wet, once it's dry it'll work just fine. But make sure it's completely dry. [02:03] pixie_pie: ever seen that dumb commercial where the lady smiles after someone spills a drink on her laptop [02:03] rkyraccoon55, could be bad dvd, bad dvd-drive, etc. have you tried other dvd's? also, try vlc [02:04] Linuxguy2009, Fork, my problem was not a formatting or mount issue..... I freeking went nuts with the partitions and mount them strangely.... [02:04] temporarytao, the dvd plays fine in my windows partition and my other ubuntu computer [02:04] temporarytao, i tried vlc. it didnt work, the dvd drive still seems to work with non movie dvd's === crunchbang is now known as Guest17423 [02:04] pixie_pie: also you can use a LiveCd to see the files on the HDD [02:05] hylman, you can use mplayer or vlc [02:05] rkyraccoon55, it seems like a codec issue to me. that's about as far as i can help you, rkyraccoon55. sorry. :) [02:05] 70 gb mounted to /Windows, 42 gb /home, and 42 gb in /usr/local [02:05] temporarytao, its cool thanks for the help [02:05] hylman, I have played 3gp videos in gxine as well [02:05] what the hell [02:05] mrpresident_: thanks... will try vlc [02:05] linuxguy2009: but it only started locking up after getting the poulsbo driver. [02:05] !netsplit === fumblnoob is now known as Awt === chatZilla_ is now known as chatZilla [02:06] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit === cdoublejj_ is now known as cdoublejj === c is now known as charitwo [02:06] !ubottu humor [02:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubottu humor === Ajr|afk is now known as Ajr [02:06] !humor [02:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about humor [02:07] temporarytao, please /msg ubottu [02:07] bazhang, i'm fairly certain that this will bite me in the ass but, WTH... [02:08] /part [02:08] hi there [02:08] is there an option to resize all windows within terminator to equal size using a hotkey or something? [02:08] can anyone help me with this? My laptop crashed because water was spilled on the keyboard. I have some very important files that I want to get off of my laptop... it boots but the keyboard doesn't work and it keeps beeping when I turn it on [02:08] linuxguy2009: but it only started locking up after getting the poulsbo driver. [02:08] look at that! it didn't! [02:08] Dallas: Sorry I had to leave and come back. Does your mini 10 have an VGA or HDMI connector? [02:08] I want to be able to share my folder in one laptop so that my PC can access it. both are using ubuntu. any good application to do this without going through the router? [02:08] linuxguy2009: oh. the hdmi [02:09] Dallas: Ok so you have the mini 10. So what video controller does it have? Intel? [02:09] pixie_pie: check out the POST beeps they tell you stuff [02:09] What kernel version is this? [02:09] POST beeps? [02:09] How can I check my kernel version? [02:10] uname [02:10] uname -a [02:10] Hello! [02:10] pixie_pie: yes those are telling you whats going on... different beeps for different problems, POST [02:10] oh dear I don't think I quite understand that [02:10] Having a little problem here. I'm trying to use mail-notification for my gmail account, and it will -NOT- remember the password! [02:10] POST=power on self test [02:10] how do i force install .deb files? [02:11] pixie_pie: dry [02:11] pixie_pie: your best bet is to take out the drive and mount it on another machine [02:11] linuxguy2009: yes. it's the intel poulsbo us15w according to dell [02:11] spO: I think dpkg has force options. [02:11] how can i set up my IP address to constantly change? [02:11] Dallas: Ok so you installed a video driver and now you have issues? [02:11] spO: gdeb [02:11] centHOGG it's been a day so i think it's dry [02:11] pixie_pie, your computer makes some beeping sounds when it turns on. the beep pattern tells you of the problem that your computer is having. to know what those patterns mean, you'll have to check your computer/motherboard manual [02:11] c1h23r456i78910: query dhcp more often..? [02:12] linuxguy2009: or intel integrated graphics media accelerator 500 [02:12] temporarytao that's really ... too far in for me [02:12] i tried to take it apart but I couldn't get the screw off [02:12] zenlunat1c: PM? [02:12] c1h23r456i78910: never done it but that seems possible, probablyt in dhcp settings [02:12] pixie_pie: ok.. do this... turn it on and describe what occurs as best you can [02:12] i guess I'll have to let it go and try to recreate my files [02:12] c1h23r456i78910: sure [02:12] thanks centHOGG [02:12] anyone know why I can't load google in any browser in ubuntu, but I can in windows. It's one of the few sites that just keeps timing out on me in Ubuntu [02:12] will do [02:12] with poulsbo chipset. [02:12] Dallas: Whats the issue? [02:12] If I "Ctrl+c" an svn check out can I restart where I left off? [02:12] markw1: your dns setup right? [02:12] ok so i boot it and it is continually beeping [02:13] and now it just stopped beeping ... and then it started again centHOGG [02:13] I guess nobody can help :/ [02:13] zenlunat1c: not sure, is there an article on it? [02:13] I'm stuck on the screen that says "Use the up and down keys to select which entry is highlighted" [02:13] ok PM me and then get ready :) [02:13] and the beeping won't stop [02:13] linuxguy2009: yes. since installing the poulsbo driver the system will lockup while doing things approximately after about 10 minutes of use, it doesn't lock up at idle or when I'm using the Lan, it seems to only do it while using the wlan. [02:14] markw1: check /etc/resolv.conf [02:14] Dallas: Ok so the driver was for the motherboard chipset? [02:14] @markw1 Google is extremely slow here in the Tip of Texas. [02:15] linuxguy2009: Actually, I was under the impression that it was for the video card, with it installed I can display at native resolution. [02:16] linuxguy2009: but, possibly there is a different driver for the video device? [02:16] hi [02:16] zenlunat1c: I have nameserver 127.0.0.1 [02:16] search domain.actdsltmp [02:16] linuxguy2009: you said you use the mini 10? what driver do you use for the video? [02:17] i'm trying to use gpart to get back a lost partition but i can't find the explanation for this line gpart outputs : [02:17] chs: (1023/254/63)-(1023/254/63)d (3824/0/1)-(30400/254/62)r [02:17] markw1: you [02:17] FewClues: The weird thing is, it was fairly fast in Windows XP when I switched over [02:17] markw1: youre running your own nameserver? :) localhost... [02:17] anyone knows how to read it? [02:18] i allways use testdisk for this [02:18] zenlunat1c: guess so, lol, what do I need to change it to? [02:18] f4, why are you not using the interface? [02:18] Dallas: I believe mine has an intel 945 chip. And Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 both have been on it so far and its supported right out of the box at 1024x600. [02:18] markw1: your isp provides them and there are free ones if not [02:18] ..... Mail-Notification will not remember my gmail password and its bothering me :/ [02:18] Dallas: Why did you think you needed a different driver? You werent getting the full resolution? [02:18] markw1: copy the dns ips from windows to that text file in ubuntu ( resolv.conf) [02:18] the interface? [02:18] (@ SpacePigeon ) [02:19] wtf? [02:19] zenlunat1c: sounds good, thanks for the help! [02:19] !wtf | drygr [02:19] drygr: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:19] my box stopped recognizing USB thumb drives [02:19] yessir [02:19] markw1: let me know if that works [02:19] allow me then to express puzzlement [02:20] wtfrak [02:20] * seidos thinks it's only a matter of time before frak becomes an actual curse word [02:20] linuxguy2009: with fresh install of 9.10 it would only run at 800x600. Couldn't detect the monitor, and displayed very choppily [02:20] Dallas: BTW the driver provided even supports opengl so compiz even works on it. [02:21] why did my laptop stop recognizing USB thumb drives? i just updated to 9.10 [02:21] linuxguy2009: really? maybe I just needed to enable the intel driver? [02:21] Dallas: Monitor? You mean the built in LCD display or an external monitor? [02:21] i plug it in and theres nothing to mount [02:21] linuxguy2009: the built in lcd [02:21] Dallas: Driver is enabled automatically on mine. [02:21] drygr: reboot? [02:21] Dallas: You have intel 950? [02:21] f4, gparted? [02:21] * MajorGeek lurks [02:21] okay [02:21] drygr: release notes might have bug info shrug [02:22] for lack of a better solution i shall [02:22] SpacePigeon, i'm not sure gparted and gpart are related [02:22] f4, oh i'm sorry [02:22] linuxguy2009: How do I find which one. The dell site shows intel integrated graphics media accelerator 500 [02:22] f4, i didn't know about gpart so I thought you misspelled gparted [02:22] Dallas: pastebin this for me. sudo lshw -c video [02:22] * seidos wonders if there's a way to reset usb [02:22] Dallas: That will say for sure. [02:22] that'd be cool, only reset what you need to, heh [02:22] drygr: look at your priveldges in users and groups [02:23] SpacePigeon, gpart is a tool to find old partitions when the partition table has been erased [02:23] okay [02:23] after i reboot [02:23] nice [02:23] brb [02:23] it does find the partition i want but i dont understand how to read those informations :'( [02:23] pixie_pie: do you have a serial port on your laptop? [02:23] linuxguy2009: VGA compatible controller [02:23] Hello [02:23] have an issue, usb tvtuner, i can get channels with cable as source but not sound, if i use it as DVB with OTA i get channels and sound, can anyone offer some advice on how to get sound using analogue cable source, i searched the net for days to no avail thx [02:24] chs: (1023/254/63)-(1023/254/63)d (3824/0/1)-(30400/254/62)r [02:24] Dallas: Pastebin so i can see for sure. [02:24] linuxguy2009: Product: System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller [02:24] chs means cylinder/head/sector but what does the 4 (...) means ? dunno :'( [02:24] Can I, when my cellphone is connected through bluetooth, link contacts from Empathy to phone numbers and send them sms'es? [02:24] linuxguy2009: oh. I'm on a different machine. one sec [02:24] Dallas: k [02:25] faq [02:25] hello [02:25] hi [02:25] !hello | jaeyke [02:25] jaeyke: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [02:25] Wow it has been a very long time since I used IRC [02:25] I have irssi auto join [02:25] Shutting down my computer doesn't do anything anymore (Using the shut down button in Ubuntu) [02:26] a channel upon it connection to server [02:26] but how do I have irssi display the channel first thing after it connects and not motd [02:26] Arsin, from terminal reboot and the next time it should work i think [02:26] Dallas: The line im most interested in says "Product:xxxxxxxxxxx" [02:26] I have an ubuntu one question. I haven't yet found an answer [02:26] goppp: #irssi should be able to help with that [02:27] IdleOne: k [02:27] when i try to play youtube videos in totem, i get the following error "GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error" [02:27] haven't tried searching the web yet [02:27] let's just say I selected encrypt home directory when I installed ubuntu [02:27] any thoughts on how to recover a recently partitioned drive? [02:27] i'm using 9.04 [02:27] and I don't care about the data that's there [02:27] and I just want it to not encrypt my home directory [02:27] how do I say "just have a regular home directory, computer" ? [02:28] seidos: install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:28] linuxguy2009: Product: System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Grapics Controller [02:29] Dallas: Ok cool. Where did you get the driver from? [02:30] seidos: i usually use vlc to play youtube videos [02:30] how do I search using multiple keywords in synaptic [02:31] linuxguy2009: http://mok0.wordpress.com/2009/05/25/ubuntu-on-the-dell-mini-10-2/ Just followed the instructions [02:31] anom01y: just type them in the search box [02:31] seperated by a space ? [02:31] yup [02:31] yea_i_did-it: try gparted' [02:31] ok, I didn't think that would work [02:31] there's like this .ecrypt directory with the user that I'm interested in disabling home dir encryption for [02:31] om26er: Happened to you? [02:31] I done removed it, and I'mma dun recreate the user's home dir. [02:32] sendsms, doesnt exist anymore? [02:32] if anybody knows the better way to do this, please let me know [02:32] IdleOne, yeah it doesnt narrow down the search results at all [02:32] Arsin, not now but before it did. i think in jaunty [02:32] xae8koo: smsclient maybe? [02:32] Ie. I search for record desktop [02:32] why, for the love of mike, doesn't ctrl+alt+backspace restart X any more? [02:33] how do u recover using gparted? [02:33] is anyone else having trouble connecting to any ubuntu website? [02:33] and I get everything with record and everything with desktop [02:33] uberspaced: you mean ~/.ecryptfs/Private.mnt? [02:33] but nothing with both words ' record desktop' [02:33] no, I mean /home/.ecryptfs/user [02:33] is the netbook edition of ubuntu for the atom processor based mini-laptops? [02:33] uberspaced, cuz ctrl+prntscr+k works now [02:33] om26er, what the hell is that? [02:33] linuxguy2009: When I fresh installed 9.10 netbook remix it was barely useable with the video effects that were going on. if there's a way to disable them and get the video driver working I'd rather have the newer kernel. [02:33] !screencast | anom01y [02:33] anom01y: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [02:34] anom01y: select one of the categories on the right. it defaults to all packages so the search will return any package with the the word "tool" in name or description for example [02:34] Dallas: Ok my best guess is if the driver is causing issues, it is because that driver was built for 9.04 and not 9.10. Usually packages should not be mixed between different releases because of different system and package requirements and dependencies. [02:34] uberspaced: then I can't help :( [02:34] jong how do u use gparted to recover partitions? [02:34] what do you mean you can't help? [02:34] what happened? [02:34] oh [02:34] right [02:34] uberspaced: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:34] short term memory. [02:34] linuxguy2009: I'm on 9.04 currently [02:34] Dallas: Oh [02:35] i was trying to partition and format a new drive of the same capacity and selected a drive full of data by accident, now gparted reports the FS is unknown, no new FS was created tho [02:35] ubuntu 9.10 everything awesome except burning dvds, no matter what app I use process goes to 99% and fails, any direction I should go in? [02:35] linuxguy2009: I tried 9.10 first. and couldn't get it to work properly with that driver. so I reinstalled. [02:36] saber_: hw bout k3b? [02:36] Dallas: Do you have a CD/DVD drive for your netbook? [02:36] saber_:cdrecord is the only thing that works for me. [02:36] linuxguy2009: nope. I have to put it on a usb to install. [02:37] k3b wouldn't work either, I am wondering if it is the drive? [02:37] Dallas: ok [02:37] linuxguy2009: is there a proper driver for 9.10 for this card? or would it be hard to find out? [02:37] I will try cdrecord thank you [02:37] epinky, ok, how do I stop that one? [02:37] Why doesn't updatedb work in Ubuntu Server 9.10? [02:37] umount /home/user/.Private ain't workin [02:38] yea_i_did-it, maybe you should try "testdisk" (wil need to apt-get it) from a livecd [02:38] ok, forget it. it did work. [02:38] sweet. [02:38] how do i recover my su pw in jaunty :/ [02:38] use sudo [02:38] gler ^^ [02:38] what is testdisk? [02:38] Bam_Bam: is it supposed to give output? I just ran on my desktop and it didn't [02:38] sudo asks for password too [02:38] Dallas: Ill try and find out for you. Im trying to add that source to my list and check out the packages. 1 sec. [02:38] and your user doesn't have sudo privs? [02:39] apearently not :( set it up months ago [02:39] IdleOne: no, its just supposed to update the database for findutils [02:39] gler, boot into single user mode [02:39] linuxguy2009: k. Thank you. [02:39] and use passwd for root there [02:39] edit the grub command line [02:39] but I've got findutils installed and the output is bash: can not find command [02:39] err, kernel line [02:39] put ' single' at the end of it and boot that. [02:40] Bam_Bam: ok well umm how do you know if it worked or not? I am asking because I don't know, not trying to be sarcastic [02:40] then you can has change passwd. [02:40] What's the deal with Compiz + Flash, I can't seem to get megavideo video's to work with compiz running [02:40] Dallas: xpsb-glx that the package you installed [02:40] APTonCD rules... [02:40] IdleOne: I haven't got a clue, but nothing else from that package works like locate [02:40] and I don't know how to fix it as long as aptitude is telling me its already installed [02:40] man this 9.10 stuff is going to take some getting used to. [02:41] how do you readd the volume control to the gnome panel? i removed and there is seemingly no "add to panel" for it [02:41] Dallas: That right? [02:41] Bam_Bam: try removing and reinstalling it [02:41] Is there any way for Evolution to import my phone contacts? [02:41] wohoo my partition is back [02:42] * f4 is happy [02:42] f4: Nice! [02:42] Hi I just installed the Ubuntu 9.10 but my ubuntu software center does not run [02:42] Jamiell: did you install any updates? [02:42] Jamiell: Use synaptic then [02:42] Jamiell: freh install? [02:43] ok thanks, will give that a go. another ? tho. /quit [02:43] is it possible to use alien package converter to convert tarball files into .deb ??? [02:43] yea ubuntu 9.10 [02:43] IdleOne: http://paste.ubuntu.com/324032/plain/ [02:43] Dallas: Did you install the package called xpsb-glx? That the one? [02:43] IdleOne: have another solution? [02:43] chatZilla, why not tar -zxvf .tgz ? [02:44] linuxguy2009: I'm not really sure. [02:44] yes or no? please [02:44] Bam_Bam: some of those packages seem essential huh. sorry I don't have any other ideas [02:44] when i click it..It begins and then cuts off by itself [02:44] Dallas1: check synaptic and see if you have that package installed. [02:45] IdleOne: yeah, just a bit, lol [02:45] hehe [02:45] Its a pain to not be able to use locate [02:45] linuxguy2009: yes it's installed [02:46] Dallas1: ok That looks to be the correct driver. If it doesnt work then its probably broken or something. [02:46] yea_i_did-it, it's a partition/drive recovery program [02:46] I love the included sms thingy with 9.10 [02:47] I can now send and recive sms from my desktop [02:47] so, would I just install that package when I put 9.1 on? [02:47] xae8koo: which thingy? [02:47] oh nice, just apt-get and run from terminal? [02:47] is there a way to just make 9.1 look the same as 9.04 [02:47] ? [02:47] Dallas1: Did you check system, admin, hardware drivers to see if the driver is listed there and activated? [02:47] IdleOne: PhoneManager [02:47] ahh [02:48] IdleOne: If it only had a contac list I would be so amazed! :D [02:48] linuxguy:it only shows the broadcom driver [02:48] xae8koo: maybe there are plugins? [02:48] IdleOne: I that was the wrong package... sorry... locate is in the package "locate", go figure, eh? [02:48] Hello. I just updated to ubuntu 9.10 but whenever I click on the Ubuntu Software center it begins buts exits itself before it opens [02:48] IdleOne: Good point... [02:48] yea_i_did-it, yup, if your data/partitions are still there, it should find them. There's also "gpart" which tries to guess partitions as well. Neither of these will work if the drive actually got formatted, though. === chea_ is now known as chea [02:49] linuxguy: should it show it in there? [02:49] jongbergs: didn't work. same error. [02:50] Dallas1: Might and might not. Just worth a look. [02:50] can anyone help me out? [02:50] ah. [02:50] the drive has not been formatted, and i have gparted but no clue how to recover [02:50] IdleOne: Can't seam to find one [02:50] Dallas1: nvidia drivers show up there. And so does my wireless card driver. [02:50] hello,how to use the packages in /usr/share/doc/ [02:50] Dallas1: You may have it installed but not activated [02:50] xae8koo: don't know sorry, don't have a cell to test with [02:51] IdleOne: I think bluetooth is amazing [02:51] my email is jamielljoseh@gmail.com. Please help me out guys thanks [02:51] linuxguy: wonder why it doesn't then... that's weird. How would I activate it if it wasn't activated? and if it wasn't why would I be able to display in native resolution and use the hdmi? [02:51] And ubuntu 9.10 rocks [02:52] xae8koo: what kind of phone do you have [02:52] linuxguy: unless I'm stuck in some weird land in between vesa and poulsbo. [02:52] Dallas1: If it doesnt show there its no big deal. Some dont. [02:52] linuxguy: ah, ok cool [02:52] what is that app to make a usb stick bootable? [02:53] lotec, unetbootin amongst others [02:53] Dallas1: Check synaptic for the package called xserver-xorg-video-psb. That installed? [02:53] does the juniper vpn client work with ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 (rsa hard token auth) [02:53] dkpg -l | grep -i xserver-xorg-video-psb [02:54] linuxguy: yup it's showing as installed [02:55] Does anyone have or know how I'd go about making a plugin for xchat to view pm's on the g15 keyboard? [02:55] somehow my drivers have become muddled up,depdencies etc all that.only synaptic didn't work even with purging of all nvidia drivers.anyhow is there a way to get the driver i installed in terminal show up in "hardware drivers" and even be updated regularly with update check?? is there a file to do this or does manually installing my drivers pretty much rule that out [02:56] reinstall sorry [02:56] Or even where I'd go to start..? [02:57] thanks with the pw help. [02:57] yea_i_did-it, not gparted, gpart [02:57] worked great [02:57] I found an annoting bug!:D [02:58] !test [02:58] yes, I'm alive. [02:58] !bug | xae8koo [02:58] xae8koo: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [02:58] linuxguy: If I were to update, would I ad repositories as ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ppa/ubuntu karmic main? [02:58] Is there any way, without a reinstall, to upgrade my server from 8.04 to 9.10? [02:59] IdleOne: Too much work :P === QH9r4m is now known as QHgr4m [02:59] Warning on karmic,my x-fi audio sound sucked compared to juanty with drivers.in other words i clean reinstalled jaunty [02:59] xae8koo: a little work to help improve such an awesome OS is worth it don't you think? [02:59] Hello there. Would somebody be willing to assist me with a FUSE issue? [02:59] are the repos down for 9.10? [03:00] IdleOne: It is 4 am, probably tomorrow === QHgr4m is now known as QH9r4m [03:00] Dallas1: If that repository exists sure. [03:01] Dallas1: I just read that intel has no interest in supporting the 500 chip in 9.10 at all. [03:01] Dallas1: Not even sure if there is an official driver for 9.04 either. [03:01] are there any recommended repository's i should add to sources.list? [03:02] and this may be a dumb question, but why isnt vim a default package with ubuntu? [03:02] user221: what are you trying to do? [03:02] old [03:03] typeing aptitude dist- as root completes the option .. .as a regular user or as a user that has sudo to bash it does not. how can this be enabled for a user sudo as root? [03:03] user221: add it yourself and then if you need it on cd then just use aptoncd. [03:03] I am using afpfs-ng to mount an AFP share that's attached to my airport extreme. It works, but the disk tends to spin down after inactivity [03:03] hololight: nothing in particular.. [03:03] and when the os needs to read or write to that share after inactivity [03:03] user221: $vi works here [03:03] the disk spinup is so slow [03:03] linuxguy2009: ya apt-get install vim worked [03:03] that the op times out [03:03] linuxguy: I'm not sure if it does or doesn't, it was just a guess. [03:03] masochists [03:03] i am wondering if there is some way to increase the timeout period so the OS will wait for the disk to spinup? [03:04] dash_: yes [03:04] in grub [03:04] user221: then prolly not, my rule is to not add until you have a specific reason. About the only ones I have ever added are medibuntu and xbmc (only to get xbmc) [03:04] centHOGG: menu.lst? [03:04] dash_: bootup timeout or raid-array spinup on initilization on bootup? [03:04] yes [03:04] Dallas1: Cant rememeber but I think that might have been why I got the 10v instead. [03:04] i forget the command.. but its a good one for old RAID setups and such (spin ups) [03:05] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/440233 [03:05] nevermind. i guess it was just my local repo mirror that was down [03:05] well i know about hdparm [03:05] but i figure that won't work [03:05] it's not a raid or even a boot disk [03:05] hololight: ive been getting xbmc from giganews via sabnzbd .. or is there an xbmc for linux as well? [03:05] linuxguy: That's no good, not a good choice for intel either in my opinion. How would I check to see if it is a working repository? Would I just get glx-plsb and xserver-xorg-video-psb if it is? [03:05] it's being mounted in FUSE quite late in the boot [03:05] google [03:06] I can't seem to find anything on google [03:06] which is why I came here [03:06] brb [03:06] user221: yes, they have an official package for ubuntu. [03:06] i used to have a server that had 2 14-disk raid arrays attached (old compaq crap) that would take 10 minutes to spin all the volumes up.. never any timeouts though from the driver on the compaq 221 raid controller [03:07] Dallas1: You can try and add it, if the package names get reloaded then it exists. And just take your best guess to which one to install. [03:07] i just upgraded to 9.10... now when I launch a browser, the screen is completely black [03:07] hololight: neat, ill check that out .. what is the repository for this? [03:07] user221:hmm, that is interesting [03:07] linuxguy: I'd really just like to get this working properly whether it be on ubuntu 9.04,9.10 or something else. I'd really hate to put windows on it just because I'm sure it will run poorly. [03:07] dash_: ya, old gentoo system 6 or so years ago [03:07] user221:it's hard to say whether the timeout is coming from FUSE, from the AFP layer, or from the kernel [03:07] user221: dont remember off hand. Its listed on their site under downloads I think. [03:08] hololight: thx [03:08] How can I upgrade my server from 8.04 to 9.10, is it possible? [03:08] Dallas1: Yeah not to mention all the Winblows maintanance. [03:08] Whithout a reinstall? [03:08] Anybody know why cron wouldn't be starting at bootup in Hardy, even though the init script is linked and working when run manually? [03:09] eniacpx: change your sources.list to the "karmic" [03:09] syn-ack: that's not the correct or supported way of doing upgrades [03:10] eniacpx: i think the apt-get option is like dist-upgrade? === apple is now known as plat [03:10] eniacpx: 8.04 directly to 9.10 isn't supported, you'd need to do 8.04->8.10->9.04->9.10, using the upgrade instructions: [03:10] Dallas1: You can try calling Dell to see if they provide a custom ISO image for that model I think they have had them in the past for some models. [03:10] so, it'd be better to say nothing other than "without a reinstall?" [03:10] !upgrade [03:10] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [03:10] enacpx: not directly [03:10] I'm sorry... Had a long day [03:10] Thanks everyone! [03:10] eniacpx: personally, I'd wait for 10.04 to come out in April. It's an LTS, so you can go directly from 8.04 to it. [03:10] hmm [03:11] portage/ports has an update world option .. not sure what it is for apt-get [03:11] rww: Thanks for the tip, I probably will. [03:11] it seems there's a black "thing" over my desktop. I can't even seen wallaper [03:11] I was off with the dist-upgrade option [03:11] b [03:11] wallpaper, too [03:11] ya, apt-get dist-upgrade it looks [03:11] linuxguy: I did do some searching around. Apparently it worked well with 8.04. [03:11] !dist-upgrade [03:11] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper release upgrade methods. [03:11] That's the version they ship with I suppose [03:12] Dallas1: Yes cause its the long term support release. [03:12] no, i just checked, dist upgrade will just bring all packages and dependencies to current. [03:12] hi [03:12] Hello everybody [03:12] herro [03:13] hololight: does ppa.launchpad.net sound right? [03:13] linuxguy: would it be best to just get 8.04 netbook release, clean install and get the video drivers working and then forget about updating the kernel for a while? [03:14] nick xcat === default is now known as xcat [03:14] hey everyone ... can someone help me get exuberant ctags running on 9.10 ? [03:14] How do I search for a string inside files in current folder and subfolders? [03:15] Hey folks, I'm trying to figure out what kernel version is installed with Karmic...I am using 2.6.31-14, but someone else is using 2.6.31-15. Can anybody using Karmic run "uname -r"? [03:15] i am trying to get the function browser working in gedit [03:15] Dallas1: Its completely up to you. Dells website shows 8.04 for these 10 and 10v models. Not sure if a driver is included out of the box or not. All you can do is try. [03:15] i installed a minimal install of ubuntu with debootstart and then install xserver-xorg-vesa-video and then startx /usr/bin/xterm and the optimal resolution isn't auto-detected and set. what package does that? [03:16] Dallas1: And who is to say that the next LTS release being 10.04 will even have a driver then. Might not. [03:16] linuxguy: it doesn't give an error if I use http://ppa.lauchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ppa/ubuntu karmic main. Which option would you shoot for? [03:16] 2.6.31.14 - no 15 yet [03:16] felixsulla, cd into the folder and run this: grep -R "string" * [03:16] derspankster: Thanks...could I ask, are you using 32-bit or 64? and did you upgrade or do a clean install? [03:17] Dallas1: Its no good cause I cant browse it with firefox. [03:17] linuxguy: ah. [03:17] Magnesium: upgrade, 32 bit [03:17] xorg.conf you can set the resoloution /etc/x11/xorg.conf [03:17] Dallas1: Yeah it works you had a typo in there. [03:17] ok, thanks derspankster. [03:18] linuxguy: oh? [03:18] in empathy im, how can i set it so that when a person sends me a message it opens a new window straight away? [03:18] Dallas1: forgot the n in launchpad [03:18] is there a way to tell if those packages are there? [03:18] I'm trying to install Tor but this package name doesn't exist in Karmic. Has Ubuntu dropped support for Tor or it has another package name? [03:19] Dallas1: Yeah just type it in your browser. [03:19] Dallas1: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ppa/ubuntu/ dists karmic [03:20] May I ask a question? :-s [03:20] >.> [03:20] Monocian: Dont ask to ask. [03:20] !ask | Monocian [03:20] Monocian: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:20] KurtKraut: search it in the ubuntu software centre [03:20] Monocian: Whats your q? [03:21] linuxguy2009: right, I'm not sure where to browse to to find if the glsx-plsb package is there. [03:21] Just because i cant find the right question to place in the search section [03:21] penguincentral, there is no Tor in Ubuntu Software Centre. Please, check by yourself too. [03:21] Monocian: Sorry, I don't follow you.... [03:21] Dallas1: youll have to remove all other sources and then add the new one and reload to check.' [03:21] My problem is: ( a bit long): I got ubuntu 8.04 and it runs fine in live cd mode [03:22] KurtKraut: yeah, but when you search tor in the ubuntu software centre, you can see vidalia which is a tor program [03:22] KurtKraut: along with TorK for KDE [03:22] Huzzah, rebooting made my comp recognize USB thumb drives again [03:22] thanks #ubuntu <3 [03:22] how to erase empathy previous conversation [03:22] penguincentral, Vidalia and Tork is only a GUI for the daemon Tor. They need the package tor installed. [03:22] But I've just downloaded Xubuntu 9.10 and a OpenSUSE 11.2 too. I burned both of them [03:22] penguincentral, which as I'm saying here, is not availuable in Ubuntu repositories [03:23] But when I boot, they both cant run any mode ( live cd, install) and all say boot error [03:23] Dallas1: Dont bother there are only 4 packages there for karmic. [03:23] whats the boot error [03:23] linuxguy2009: Ah, gotcha. I think I'll try and go that route and if I can get it going I'll be extremely pleased. If not I'll jump back down to 8.04 and then we'll know to stick with 8.04 on the mini 10 [03:23] linuxguy2009: o damn [03:24] Xubuntu has a window say I/O error: Reboot [03:24] KurtKraut: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1153938 [03:24] OpenSuse crash at loading screen [03:24] Dallas1: Yeah Id give 8.04 a whirl and hope and pray that 10.04 LTS gets support for it. [03:24] Monocian: Almost sounds like the discs didn't burn right. [03:24] linuxguy2009: maybe I'll just go to 8.04 then. [03:24] penguincentral, thanks. [03:24] no problem [03:24] have you used Xfce in ununtu? [03:24] Monocian: Especially the IO error part. [03:25] linuxguy2009: sounds good. I'll keep ya posted. Any idea on where to find the 8.04 netbook remix if there is one? [03:25] whats the easiest way to install lamp [03:25] Dallas1: Should be up to 8.04.3 point release with hundreds of integrated updates integrated into the image. [03:25] !lamp [03:25] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [03:25] why I can'T get it from the programe installer [03:25] Dallas1: 8.04 has no netbook unless you can go to ubuntu.packages.com and find backports. [03:25] Monocian: With Xubuntu, can you get to the screen where it shows all the languages? [03:26] <[TK]D-Fender> hello all, need some advice. I'm looking to clone my Ubuntu install to an SSD. sda1=WinXP, sda2=Extended "holder" which contains sda5=(NTFS data partition), sda6=LinuxSwap, sda7=linux <- last one is my Ubuntu install. I basically want to copy sda7 onto this new drive with grub modded as appropriate ont it [03:26] I already looked at this site and I don't understand [03:26] I am 0 with lonux... [03:26] linuxguy2009: I'll just get 8.04.3 [03:27] Dallas1: Cool. I wish you all the luck!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:28] I did ask a question, but I wanted to have something easier to understand... [03:28] Dallas1: http://markusthielmann.com/blog/installing_ubuntu_netbook_remix_ubuntu_hardy_804 [03:28] Anybody know why cron wouldn't be starting at bootup in Hardy, even though the init script is linked and working? [03:29] its a bot auto response Ironicus [03:29] Ironicus, I'm even at -1 :( [03:29] ah I think I found somethign [03:30] linuxguy2009: found a torrent off the main site just as you posted it. Thanks for all your help linuxguy2009. [03:30] Monocian: I don't know for sure why it wouldn't boot due to that error other than the fact that the disc was burned with an error. [03:30] Dallas1: Your welcome and wish you all the luck with that. ;) [03:30] Monocian: I mean, that's kinda what I/O error means, the computer can't read from the disc. [03:30] could it be xfce doesent support the gfx card? [03:30] I also want to know how to make a ghost with linux [03:30] Hey, I am running ubuntu 9.10, and I am trying to connect to an external hard-drive via my wireless network, and am having trouble. When I go into Places->Network I see "Base Station 1", which is what it is called on my friends mac when he accesses it, but if I double click it I can't see any of the files, and I'm not able to put anything on it. [03:31] Since I can,t do that with windows if I wanna keep my linux partition [03:31] Ironicus: you can use dd to make a disk image or if you want compression you can try diskpart package. [03:31] how do u use testdisk [03:31] dd? [03:31] !dd [03:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about dd === Awt_ is now known as Awt [03:32] Ironicus: You meant a ghost, like a backup? [03:32] yes [03:32] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387559 i have this issue but the workaround does not work [03:32] im on jaunty [03:32] a backup of my laptop including my windows and linux partition [03:33] Ironicus: dd will write every bit of a disk to a file and can be piped to a compressed format like gzip etc. Also diskpart is a graphical app that can compress. [03:33] a_user, maybe there's a workaround, if someone knows about it they will surely reply but the problems I had with jaunty were fixed by using karmic instead of jaunty, I skipped jaunty entirely and went from Intrepid to Karmic [03:33] Ironicus: dd is command line only and diskpart is a good GUI one. [03:33] use hardy :D [03:34] hi there [03:34] well not use it but try it [03:34] Can I get 2 disk with it? [03:34] Ironicus: sorry partimage is what I meant to say [03:34] Has anyone encountered my problem before? Or know what I need to do to fix my problem? === trevor is now known as thevor [03:35] do you know any tutorial about it? [03:35] trevor try using an earlier relaease it could be a bug [03:35] anybody alive in here? [03:35] abdul [03:35] no [03:35] trevor: Do you have samba installed? [03:35] I have embedded an IRC chat onto my desktop, kinda...however, I want it to be on all my workspaces. How do I do this? It's irssi, so it's run in the terminal [03:36] trevor: samba will allow you to share files folder and printers with linux, mac, and windows machines. [03:37] sje46: isnt there an "show on all workspaces" if you rightclick the titlebar.. or what do you mean by embedded ? :P conky like or what [03:37] <[TK]D-Fender> .

[03:40] most campuses don't let you run router's under their network, or at least mine did not [03:40] seedeedotdot: sudo lshw -c sound [03:40] thats not Linux specific Rolaulten but use your browser to connect to the ip of the router [03:40] seedeedotdot: What card do you have? [03:41] bondy: No, what I am wondering is how to axcess the router's OS from ubuntu so I can add the settings vea command line. [03:41] hold on I'll run the command and tell you.. I'm just using the onboard audio I'll give you the chipset [03:41] you connect to it just like you would in windows, unless you are going to terminal into it === yofel_ is now known as yofel [03:42] Is there a tool which can convert text files from UTF8 with BOM to UTF8 without BOM en masse? [03:43] Rolaulten: it's basically the same process whether you're using windows or linux, just set you linux box ip address, use firefox to get inside your router interface [03:44] I've tried. the GUI of the router does not allow for an external proxy to be used. [03:44] Is there anyone here with launchpad permissions? [03:44] qpoi: launchpad permissions meaning what?

[04:08] it is not allowing me [04:08] it did before [04:08] why did it change? [04:08] syrius: Maybe you need to be root? [04:08] adsfdasf, what if you move the iso to another folder. Will it download it again? [04:08] adsfdasf, it shouldn't take much time [04:08] why would I need to be root arsin ? [04:08] jeffmr: yes [04:09] fat32 has no permissions [04:09] !ipod [04:09] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [04:09] hi can anyone help with workgroups/samba? I installed initially kde but switched to gnome desktop as some things were not working but since then I cannot see the workgroup from my xbox or windows laptops [04:09] syrius: fat32 lakc spermissions so I dont see why that would happen. [04:09] syrius: i know, but i remember something about using the dell image because the regular one didn't work well... am i imagining? should the standard wubi-downloaded image work fine on a dell xps? [04:09] syrius: I have no clue, my guess === ghost is now known as Guest57015 [04:09] seedeedotdot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [04:09] carolinaswamp, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide [04:09] linuxguy2009, as I just told arsin === Guest57015 is now known as B166er-X [04:10] seedeedotdot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure === adsfdasf is now known as promiscuousmode [04:10] linuxguy2009 why am not able to delete from it? [04:10] how do i turn of that drum sound at the login screen? [04:10] syrius: Did you check your user privs? [04:10] Question : is there a way to sync /add tunes, to an ipod touch 3g on ubuntu 9.10 whitout Jailbreaking ? pleasee [04:10] syrius: What happens when you try? Nothing happens or an error comes? [04:10] caleb2003: is samba running? [04:10] Is it possible to make my computers name change to something else, or is it stuck as is? [04:11] need some help, i have a tvtuner and i can get all channels however i can't get no sound. the sound card is a realtek alc889a hda-intel-snd, any suggestions thx === arsin is now known as Arsin [04:11] as far as i know, yes [04:11] promiscuousmode watch the tab key [04:11] status activated in gadmin [04:12] neon_: Does the TV tuner have any audio out jacks? [04:12] Arsin no when I left click on a file or folder the options come up lighter in color for the delete and properties options [04:12] maybe I should dismount and then remount [04:12] caleb2003: can you pastebin the smb.conf file? [04:12] Worth a shot [04:12] syrius: logout and back in see if the files are still there. [04:12] B166er-X: you can install iTunes in virtualbox-ose w/windows, or even better install virtualbox-ose with http://www.doubletwist.com/ [04:13] well I am going to do the dismoutn and remount first [04:13] but it doesn't make sense if I am able to write to it and read [04:13] linuxguy2009: it does not it is an USB, i can get sound if i use it as DVB with OTA antenna, then i get sound and picture. if i just want to use it with my regular cable i get all 100+ channels but no sound, i searched around for days with no answer [04:13] dunno why no delete [04:14] (͡๏̯͡๏) === nevets04 is now known as nevets04|Diner === nevets04|Diner is now known as nevets04|Dinner [04:14] thanks gasull [04:15] neon_: You have no sound only when using cable input correct? [04:15] B166er-X: you're welcome [04:16] My wireless keeps randomly dropping until I restart my computer... [04:16] caleb2003: pastebin, not dcc send [04:16] linuxguy2009: yes, since it is a usb i can only connect either a terrestial antenna to get pure digital channels in wich case i get pic and soun or my comcast cable in wich case i only get all channels no sound, i play around with the sound settings to no avail [04:16] syrius: Concensus? [04:17] teamcoltra, do you have security on? [04:17] How can I add my windows partiton to GRUB? [04:17] neon_: What kind of cable connectors come from the cable to your tuner? [04:17] just a coax [04:17] jeffmr, WAP [04:17] teamcoltra, does it disconnect without it? [04:18] I am in a boarding house, so I am not really privileged to change it [04:18] neon_: Ok did you play with the cable box settings to see if it has any settings for sound format such as PCM etc? Not sure if that matters when using coax but theres probably a setting somewhere. [04:18] teamcoltra, try a different router and see [04:19] Arsin, you can edit your grub menu with "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:19] but, you *must* know what you are doing [04:19] jeffmr, easier said then done. :P Try finding available routers and such in the middle of the Bush in Alaska [04:19] ;) [04:19] wow, cableone is crap, order 12mb/2 and during peak hours im getting 1.2mbps [04:19] talk about oversubscription [04:20] hmm [04:20] Jeffmr I do know that if I attach directly, it still works [04:20] didn't MS just introduce a driver into the kernel source? [04:20] thats a problem since i live in an apartment complex i just get a cable from the wall no box, i know it is kind of dorky setup and hate to say that it works ok on windows, but i can't control the audio stream [04:20] acovrig, not exactly, it depends on whether or not he's using old grub of grub2, Arsin are you using grub2? [04:20] I'm unable to un-tar/gzip any files :-/ [04:20] mMezquitale: 2 [04:20] CHUCKF: did you get it? [04:20] chuckf: try here now http://pastebin.com/m2a241e32 [04:20] ubuntu karmic. everythings updated. anyone have any idea? [04:20] teamcoltra, if you could get the sys administrator to let you look at the router page you could try changing the channel [04:20] neon_: I see. [04:21] neon_: How do you change cable stations with no box? [04:21] Flannel, plz tell me you're still here, total disaster,, now will not boot after the alt cd install, i'm on live cd session again [04:21] Arsin, if you don't want to use the cmd, try Bootup-Manager maybe [04:21] teamcoltra, did you see if there are any new drivers in the hardware panel? [04:21] Arsin, you want to add the partition where you installed windows in /boot/grub/grub.cfg [04:22] rikupw: what error do you get? [04:22] SeaPhor: Need some help? [04:22] error: gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors \n i've tried uninstalling reinstalling :-/ no go. [04:22] on my tv's with a remote on the computer using like tvtime with keyboard [04:22] oops, this isn't c, \n doesnt' work haha [04:22] concensus? Arsin [04:22] the voting system? [04:22] linuxguy2009, thanx, long story, and Flannel has been following' [04:23] Arsin, windows is not being picked up by grub-probe?? You have to do grub-probe and then grub-update [04:23] gasull, not sure whats the problem, it just suddenly stopped working. did an apt-get update/etc and suddenly nothin's workin. any what the problem could be? [04:24] well, the issue could have been there for a while, as i hadn't untar'd anything for a while. :-/ happens on both tar and tar.gz. haven't tried bzip [04:24] neon_: If it works on your TV then I dont see why it woudnt work on that tuner. [04:25] rikupw: I don't know, but try this: sudo aptitude install --reinstall gzip [04:25] i know, i will keep searching around, i can use OTA but only get 4 channels with my cable i get over 100 thanks for your help [04:25] caleb2003: and this same conf file was working before? [04:25] rikupw: Whats the problem? [04:25] thanks gasull, i did try that i'll try that again [04:25] error: gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors \n i've tried uninstalling reinstalling :-/ no go. [04:25] thats the problem [04:25] rikupw: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:25] yes I have not changed anything [04:26] no matter what it is, bzip (just tried), tar, tar.gz, all the same error related to the compression [04:26] rikupw: also aptitude install --reinstall tar [04:26] Does anyone know where rhythmbox saves playlists? I migrated to a new HDD and copied over my home folder hoping rhythmbox would keep its playlists but it didn't. I still have access to the old HDD though. [04:26] thanks :-) [04:26] caleb2003: does your log file show any errors? [04:27] rikupw: did it work now? [04:27] hrm... linuxguy2009 well, i went to do fresh install of 9.10, but the partitioner doesnt see any partitions,,, i have /home on a separate part..... [04:27] kfizz: user settings for apps are in home. [04:27] Arsin, still there? My mistake, youre not supposed to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg, run grub-probe and grub-update instead [04:27] no, forgot to say sudo :P [04:27] linuxguy2009, that's why I copied over the home folder from my old HDD, but it didn't copy the playlists. [04:27] SeaPhor: You want to erase the drive completely and start fresh? [04:28] chuckf: there is no log file in the etc/samba folder do you mean somewhere else? [04:28] caleb2003: in /var/log/samba [04:28] same error gasull :( [04:28] does anybody know what part of ubuntu detects the resolutions? like a package/program does this [04:29] kfizz: open rhythm box and right click playlist and export to file. ;) [04:29] xcat: Depends on your graphics driver [04:29] xcat, probably Xorg configuration [04:29] nvm linuxguy2009 ... i got this, its .. above this lvl [04:29] soraeu: what if i'm using vesa [04:29] linuxguy2009, I was hoping to avoid having to boot into the old HDD and just copy a file over, but I guess that seems to be the only option. [04:30] xcat: Sys>Prefs>Display on recent version of ubuntu [04:30] chuckf: http://pastebin.com/m74e90498 I appended it to the conf [04:30] kfizz: Its a simple option. [04:30] ok that worked, thanks gasull apparently i typed "tar" twice with apt-get. reinstalling gzip worked this time around. [04:30] rikupw: I'm glad :) [04:30] chuckf: from line 148 [04:31] that FloodBot1 is awesome by the way [04:31] hi, i'm having a tricky problem installing gtk+, atk and pango [04:31] will someone kindly lend me their ear? [04:32] actuallyanewb2: you might also need their -dev packages [04:32] :( [04:32] well, i successfully installed glib [04:32] caleb2003: I'm only seeing through line 146 [04:32] actuallyanewb2: the libraries themselves should be installed, but ubuntu (and debian) doesn't typically install the -dev packages automatically [04:32] but when i ran ./configure on atk, i got this error: === ubuntu is now known as ghufran [04:32] actuallyanewb2: you don't need to build those separately [04:32] actuallyanewb2: use the package manager instead [04:33] "if glib is installed but not in the same location as pkg-config add the location of the file glib-2.0.pc to the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH" [04:33] :P Sorry it happened again jeffmr.. I am going to try and get the channels changed, but is there anything else I can look at? [04:33] i checked subversion and i couldn't find gtk+, glib, atk or pango [04:33] My computer connected just fine in windows... and all the other computers maintaining their connection [04:33] unless i'm searching for the wrong thing [04:33] can someone help me figure out why gparted is not showing my partitions correctly? [04:33] teamcoltra, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide [04:33] chuckf: try this one http://pastebin.com/m479bb976 [04:34] err, not subversion, synaptic [04:34] sorry [04:34] i really am actually a newb [04:34] On my netbook, when I try and uninstall cups, it wants to uninstall Ubuntu Netbook Remix as well, anyone know why? [04:34] ghufran, what do you mean? can you post a description of the problem? have you tried running gparted in a terminal using "sudo gparted"? [04:34] ok, 9.04 live cd still sees my parts .. can i just re-install grub?? Flannel ? [04:35] mMezquitale: i am trying to install ubuntu. usually it works fine but today it isnt .. it is showing 4 of my partitions and its combining the remaining 2 and labeling them 'unusable' [04:36] ghufran, sounds like your hard drive has errors on it, are you using a live CD with gparted? [04:38] does anyone in here know about gloobus for file previews i installed it but when i run gloobus nothing hhappens [04:38] mMezquitale: yes i am on a live cd. Its a new disk. i can do other operations just fine.. i just copied data from those partitions ... from within the live cd .. === Ajr is now known as Ajr|afk [04:39] ghufran, try updating the BIOS on your machine. Is it an old machine? [04:39] mMezquitale: im trying to dual boot actually .. and i am thinking it might be a problem with the number of primary disks .. is there a way to find out? [04:39] mMezquitale: its a new laptop. [04:39] ghufran, how many primary disks do you have?? [04:39] what's your issue ghufran [04:39] ghufran: you can have 4 primary partitions [04:40] hi i need help my gnome-panel apeared on four sides so i removed the application (sudo aptitude remove gnome-panel) to try and sort it, (and reinstalled it) i have no menues now [04:40] right click on desktop and select add panel - That's also how you should have removed it. [04:41] mMezquitale: i dont know how many are primary .. gparted doesnt show it .. and even if i cant have more than 4 .. it should show me the error when i try to create more :S [04:41] mcurran: no luck [04:41] ghufran: I think in the older computers there was some rule that bootable partitions had to be within a certain size of the beginning of the drive [04:41] ghufran: It will tell you no when you click apply [04:41] mcurran: tryig to dualboot ubuntu 9.1 with windows 7 .. partitions are not showing up correct [04:41] could anyone plz tell me the difference between 'dir -a' and 'ls -a' [04:41] chronix: 9gb due to having to use int 13 to access hard disk [04:42] dir -a like in dos? [04:42] chronix: more or less gone since 2001 or so [04:42] joshua___: yeah okay cool [04:42] switchgirl: try right clicking where the panel would go, right at the bottom... [04:42] yeah, i tried it in the terminal and it listed directories without colors.. [04:42] I just made an installation USB drive, but when I boot to it I get a flashing cursor --- any ideas? [04:43] nut: ls [04:43] anything happen? [04:43] joshua___: sadly no :( [04:43] how do i keep my mic from picking up so much static? [04:43] joshua___: same with space, tab, esc, etc [04:43] there's a bug in debian ash that when it triggers you don't get a prompt [04:43] there is nothin there mcurran [04:43] they really ought to have fixed that [04:43] Anyone know why when I try and uninstall cups, it wants to uninstall Ubuntu Netbook Remix as well? [04:44] chrionix: the remix selectes packages for that deploy mode [04:44] joshua___: interesting, it works when booting to the live disk [04:44] joshua___: it was only doing that when I was selecting the installation option, hmm [04:45] Did you try reselecting the default theme under Change Desktop Background. [04:45] ghufran, what is showing 4 of your partitions and combining the other 2? I am lost now [04:45] I'll try installing via the installer once it's booted, then [04:45] you need t ununstall the packages individualh [04:45] *Y [04:45] how do i keep my mic from picking up so much static? [04:45] chrionix, why would you want to uninstall cups? [04:45] tried that before with no luck [04:45] no printer perhaps [04:45] BleedinRomeo [04:46] #bitme [04:46] cups is only needed for printing [04:46] BLUE_BALLS, first go get some, then install ubuntustudio and then get yourself a decent sound card, youll always get static without a decent sound card [04:46] join #bitme [04:46] i managed to open ff by the get more themes online... thats one step [04:46] caleb2003: the file looks right. I'm thinking that maybe there's a firewall setting or something in the network setup [04:46] any dell 1525 laptop user here [04:46] mMezquitale: Because I'm currently in Afghanistan, have no need of a printer on my netbook, and when I update it wants to update a billion packages for cups that I don't need. [04:46] BLUE_BALLS: Applications -> Sound & Video -> Sound Recorder -> File -> Open Volume Control -> Input Maybe you can adjust it here. [04:46] mMezquitale, i have an msi wind netbook [04:47] heck remove the remix [04:47] I had to remove kubuntu-desktop long ago [04:47] ok, 9.04 live cd still sees my partitions .. can i just re-install grub?? Flannel ? anyone? [04:47] chuckf: I'm trying to access the shares from an original xbox through xbmc there is no firewall and it did work fine with KDE [04:47] usplash is incompatible with my hardware [04:47] mMezquitale: this is how it looks like when i boot into windows .. Boot partition FAT16, Recovery Disk, "System Reserved 104MB", "C:", then G: and H: [04:47] bazhang, ? [04:47] BLUE_BALLS, I will refer you to my previous comment, there are USB sound cards out there as well [04:49] on gparted, the last 2 are not there .. instead, theres just 'unusable' partition equal in size of both of them combined .. [04:49] are the ports open on the samba server? [04:49] chrionix, what you want to do is disable cups or make it so that cups gets ignored by update-manager, that is the question you want to ask, if someone knows the answer they will surely reply, if you know how to use google search for the criteria I just mentioned, I have never tried it myself [04:50] chuckf: yes [04:50] mMezquitale: Yeah, I'm currently looking for that as we speak, It just interested me that uninstalling cups wanted to uninstall unr, thought I'd ask why [04:50] anyone here use recordmydesktop ? [04:50] nothings changed except for the desktop, I'm guessing its a quirk of the gnome [04:51] I am having troubles figuring out what to put in the 'device' section to get the sound working in gtk-recordmydesktop [04:51] I tried 'ALSA' but it does not work [04:51] I'd say the next step is strip down the smb.conf and build it til it breaks [04:52] ok, i'll have a play, thanks for checking [04:52] Thought I'd drop by and give you guys an update: my direct dist-upgrade from intrepid to karmic seems to be sorted, apparently support for this card was dropped in a more recent fglrx, so I baleeted xorg.conf and everything works great now. [04:52] is there a way to figure out what primary partitions i have? [04:52] ghufran: you're going to have to repartition your whole hard drive, you need to make the excess drives logical [04:52] Thanks to FireCrotch for the pointer in the direction of Xorg >.> [04:52] So, I have never been able to get my headphone jack to work... and I think I released why... my laptop, when in windows, uses Nvidia sound drives... Any information on how I can use these in ubuntu? [04:52] chrionix, looks like it's tied to the distribution somehow, I've been wanting to beta test mixxx in ubuntustudio but it wont let me uninstall mixxx, i have to uninstall the whole damn dang, do me a favor and say hella to your local haji [04:52] mMezquitale: lol, wilco [04:53] chrionix: i fear i might need to .. but i first need to see how many primary partitions do i have [04:53] ghufran: I think from memory the extended partition shows up in gparted as the size of the logical partitions combined [04:54] For some reason all my videos are playing with the colors reversed. [04:54] ghufran: extended partition being like a container that logicals sit in [04:54] This affects mplayer, and also videos that play embedded in firefox, but not flash video. [04:54] What is going on and how do I fix it? [04:55] ghufran: I would recommend backing up your hard drives, making a plan on how you want your partitions to look, the rebuilding the partition table [04:55] chrionix, not exactly, if he has exceeded the max amount of primary hard drive ghufran has to delete one primary hard drive and create one logical hard drive, within the logical hard drive he can create as many extended partitions as he needs [04:55] yrlnry, sounds an awful lot like a trashed gstreamer [04:56] Why so? [04:56] ghufran, can you boot up into a live CD with gparted and tell us what gparted sees?? [04:56] mMezquitale: yeah I know, but in my experience, that always turns out sloppy, I always tend to recreate a partition table so it's neatly ordered :P it could be due to OCD though :P [04:56] well, if mplayer is not using gstreamer, it's one of the underlying libraries [04:56] chrionix: yes i know .. i could do that .. and it might not be the problem were thinking it is . . and all my installations go down the drain .. [04:56] yrlnry, apparently not every video player is broken, since Flash isn't [04:56] mMezquitale: yes i can ... is there a place i can post a screenshot? [04:56] but flash has separate libraries for everything so it "just works" [04:57] !screenshot [04:57] Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [04:57] test [04:58] the test didnt work, install ubuntustudio for better results [04:58] someone plz tell me that the 9.10 live cd partitioner has a known bug that it doesnt recognize some hdd /partitions??? i am stuck on the 9.04 live cd which does see my partitions, but after using the 9.10 alternate cd that WIPED OUT my 9.04 installation... [04:58] mMezquitale, chrionix: http://imagebin.org/72405 [04:59] SeaPhor, if that is the case I suggest you post a bug report [04:59] SeaPhor, you can't boot from 9.10? [05:00] ghufran, what did you do?!? you have 4 primary partitions, you cant create more partitions. [05:00] draconis, yes, and can go to live session, start the installer and it gets to the partitioner and it dont see any partitions [05:00] ghufran: yeah, exactly your problem, you've used up all your partitions [05:00] SeaPhor, that sounds an awful lot like RedHat's "smart" partition detection [05:01] draconis: I ran gstreamer-properties and ran the output test, and the test pattern looks fine. [05:01] mMezquitale: where does it say they are primary?!??!? [05:01] ghufran, why is sda1 41MB and using fat16?!? [05:01] ghufran: if you delete the last one, you can create an extended partition with all that extra space as well [05:01] draconis, i'm on the 9.04 live cd now, and does see the parts === jongberg1 is now known as jongbergs [05:01] mMezquitale: I hate to say I told you so, but that partition table is screaming for a wipe :P === FlareFlare183 is now known as Flare-Laptop [05:02] hello, who can help me install a tar.bz2 software please? [05:02] does look like the partition table is screwed up some how [05:02] SeaPhor, ^ [05:02] ghufran, because they are "partitions", they are "primary" partitions. If it's not a "primary" partition it will be labed "extended" [05:02] mMezquitale: that 41MB is by our DELL friends .. came out of the box. chrionix: cant delete the last one .. its the windows partition .. and the one before that .. with size 104MB is also created by stupid windows 7 [05:03] phongphrai: u need to extract the package [05:03] phongphrai: it's a compressed tarball [05:03] omg I think we have found redmond attempting to make users to use only windows7 [05:03] jongbergs, ok and then? [05:03] ghufran : I would re-iterate you need to backup and wipe, create your partitions with gparted first [05:04] phongphrai: using nautilus, right clik on the file select extract here [05:04] its done already [05:04] phongphrai: what software is that? [05:04] ghufran, are you able to install windows7 in your harddrive? [05:04] is that ubuntu 9.10 slow internet bug fixed yet? [05:04] ghufran: windows is like a hammer to partitions man, it just steamrolls anything in it's way [05:04] draconis, i had 9.04 installed and working no prob,, i never "upgrade" i always do fresh install, but the 9.10 live didn't see my partitions so Flannel suggested the alt cd,,, well that wiped me out and cant boot my original, thats why i'm on the 9.04 live session [05:04] jongbergs, BRL-CAD..i cant find any configure or autogen script [05:05] mMezquitale: yea maybe they are .. i already have windows 7 installed .. with loads of installations .. === Ajr|afk is now known as Ajr [05:05] phongphrai: what are the contents of the package? [05:05] syrius, is IPv6 enabled? I know when I was running OpenSUSE I had really slow internet until I disabled IPv6. Then everything was great. [05:06] SeaPhor, if you can't boot from the 9.10 install that you did with the alt cd, then it sounds like a Grub2 problem [05:06] ok then .. it looks like there is no other solution .. i guess ubuntu will have to wait while i back up [05:06] jongbergs, many folders and files of differents kind [05:06] ghufran, but are you able to reinstall windows7? [05:06] jongbergs, 3800 files === as5sin3 is now known as chrizthop [05:07] draconis, the alt cd install hung, but apparently wiped out my original... [05:07] phongphrai: does it come with documentation? im pretty sure the website from which you obtained the software provide a kind of installation intructions [05:07] mMezquitale: i think i should be able to .. didnt try it out .. why ? that might be a problem too? [05:08] jongbergs, the doc says to type ./configure but there no such file in the whole archive [05:08] SeaPhor: what do u mean wiped out? i thought your proble has been resolved already? [05:08] linuxguy: are you here? [05:09] SeaPhor, well, did you try reinstalling? [05:09] ghufran, I mean if you have a CD and valid license, you should be able to reinstall windows7 but I suggest you google for windows7 and ubuntu, what you want to do is delete all those little partitions and create a partition for windows7 and then create an extended partition, just to be safe [05:09] SodaPhish,you online? [05:09] jongbergs, what on earth would make you think that my issue has been resolved??? its only compounded now...?? [05:09] mMezquitale: yes. thats what im going to do. [05:09] phongphrai: ok, i get it, the package contains the source files..therefore you need to go to terminal go to where you extracted the package and type ./configure [05:09] ghufran: and make your boot partition ext2 or something, fat16 boot partitions are just nasty :P [05:09] draconis, reinstalling what? 9.04? [05:10] SodaPhish,you online? [05:10] ghufran, i suppose now you know what a primary partition looks like? [05:10] SeaPhor, well, if it works better than 9.10 (which didn't) [05:10] This is actually a Linux Mint Helena issue, but it's related to Karmic. I followed the guide to install to an encrypted root partition, and so I tried it out on a virtual machine. When I reboot, I am dropped to a recovery shell that says "ALERT! /dev/mapper/croot does not exist" [05:10] chrionix: i dont think i can do that .. the recovery disk and all might never boot again.. [05:10] However, I can then use cryptsetup to unlock the encrypted partition and then resume booting. [05:10] atleast i dont know how to do it :P [05:11] Why doesn't this command work in the Linux Mint 7 terminal: sudo apt-get install vmware-player-kernel-modules [05:11] I've got the installer for 8.04.3 running on my netbook through flash-drive, and I'm at the part where it asks you to install cd-rom drivers to complete the installation, how would I direct it to install from the usb drive instead of the cd-rom(which doesn't exist) [05:11] jongbergs, bash says no such file or foler [05:11] Why is this not done automatically? And what can I do so that it is automatic and asks for my LUKS password, rather than falling to a recovery shell? [05:11] ghufran: yeah, I wonder what that unkown partition is, it's weird that linux doesn't recognise it, I thought it recognised everything [05:12] Dallas1, you need to copy a modified image on the USB stick. [05:12] ghufran: if it weren't for that fact you have an 'unkown' partition, I would say grub would be able to boot from your recovery partition, but maybe not in this case [05:12] Dallas1, is it the alternate installer? [05:12] chrionix: that unknown is actually two partitions [05:12] !info brlcad [05:12] What's the point of encrypting executable code? I use ecryptfs for my encryption. [05:12] Package brlcad does not exist in karmic [05:12] flan:yes [05:12] yeah, linux needs write support for HFS+ [05:13] brl-cad is the DoD's 3D CAD app. [05:13] But I don't think it's been packaged. [05:13] Dallas1, I thought so. [05:13] my bottom panel on 9.04 is gone and cant find it. how do I get it back ? [05:13] ubottu, how can i install the software then? [05:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:13] cellofellow: can you help out phongphrai problem? [05:13] Dallas1, yeah, I had to go through the same thing. You need to get a copy of the modified image to throw onto the stick. [05:13] draconis: problem turns out to be with nvidia video driver. Described here: http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/multimedia/405120-videos-show-reverse-colors.html [05:13] phongphrai: jongbergs: sure [05:13] draconis: thanks for your help. [05:13] Im having problems installing ubuntu in a netbook, I have a bangho netbook B-NOX1, and Im trying to install ubuntu via USB pendrive, the bios says it can boot from USB HDD, but It doesnt detect the usb drive, Ive tried booting from the pendrive with other machine and it works perfect, Im wondering if could be a pendrive size issue, its 8gb... should I try with a smaller one? [05:13] !resetpanels | woodyjlw [05:13] woodyjlw: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [05:13] cellofellow: he wasn't able to run ./configure [05:14] thanks :) [05:14] flan:ugh, where do I get that? Why can't intel just support linux and release open source drivers so I can use 9.10 [05:14] ? [05:14] woodyjlw: you can just press alt+f2 to type the command [05:14] yrlnry, yw, glad you figured it out [05:14] noneNN: Is it set to boot the pendrive automatically? Or do you have to press esc or whatever, to go into a boot menu? [05:15] well, unless anyone have i better suggestion...i want to be able to draw mecanicals and houses [05:15] Dallas1, one second. I think I have it in my bookmarks. [05:15] chrionix, ive tried both ways and it didnt work out [05:15] Question on new install, I have two drives installed, manualy built "/" on the 80GB drive with 64GB available, same drive has 4GB swap, I built /home on drive 2 with 20GB available, will what work? [05:15] phongphrai: how come it doesn't have configure file in it..did you verify the downloaded package? [05:15] it worked! lol too easy but im still learning :) thanks [05:15] Dallas1, because all the hardware vendors want to make it a secret as to how their hardware works [05:16] noneNN: that's weird, are you sure the pendrive is bootable? [05:16] gasull i dont get how to install doubletwist on virtual box ... .dmg ? is there something i'm missing ? [05:16] chrionix, yes, i can boot it in my notebook [05:16] theres only one place to download it...does anyone on earth as ever tried a cad software downloaded from internet and install it on ubuntu?? [05:16] BRL-CAD doesn't seem to be an easy one to install. [05:16] mMezquitale: even if it renders their hardware useless to thousands? [05:16] greezmunkey, yes, it will work [05:17] phogphrai: have you used blender? [05:17] Dallas1, yup yup [05:17] hey, got a question about flash [05:17] flash player [05:17] phongphrai: might want to vote for this brainstorm http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/9318/ [05:17] !ask | jh2os [05:17] jh2os: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:17] Dallas1, is it in ubuntu repository? [05:17] noneNN: Okay, so it's definately a problem with the bios on your netbook, does pressing escape during boot up present you with a boot menu? [05:18] Flash applications are unresponsive when clicked [05:18] phogphrai: it should be. let me check [05:18] sometimes they work and others they dont [05:18] Does anyone know a xorg.conf tweak so my ancient ATI 3D RAGE LT PRO will have better video playback in firefox (mpeg, wmv, etc.) [05:18] jh2os: are you using the 64-bit version? [05:18] mMezquitale, thanks, it runs well so far. I figured the root filesystem will be taken up with additional progs, while databases etc will live on /home [05:18] oh heavens pixelize is broken [05:18] is it a problem with the Ubuntu/firefox pakage? [05:19] phongphrai: where'd you download brl-cad? brlcad.org has a Linux binary and the source. I'd try both (in that order). [05:19] B166er-X: virtualbox-ose + Windows + doubletwist [05:19] jh2os: there is a known issue with the 64-bit package for flash [05:19] And read the docs. Really that's all I can say. [05:19] anyone have an idea how to find out if my ethernet is gigabit? hwinfo isn't telling me, at least. [05:19] lstarnes, what's the known issue [05:19] yea i got 64 bit [05:19] chrionix, yeah i mean i can go into the menus and select all usb entries and none of them will work [05:19] Dallas1, still looking. [05:19] greezmunkey, just make sure you specify the correct hard drives when you install, if you have any issues come back [05:19] scott_ino2: clicking on flash applets sometimes fails [05:19] phongphrai: have you tried qcad? [05:19] mMezquitale, all I need to do now is hack an access point to go from wireless to ethernet in the garage and I'm good. [05:20] sup guys. First time linux user here. How do I install adobe flash. Do I choose the YUM version and then use package manager? [05:20] lstarnes, ahh i see [05:20] electricTape: are you using ubuntu? [05:20] B166er-X: If you use doubletwist you can copy from/to your ipod and use it in other computers too. Sadly you need to install Windows in VirtualBox for this. [05:20] No, choose the deb package [05:20] ssmy: lspci -v [05:20] phogphrai: blender is in the repository. I used it a little for some 3d modelling last month, it's extremely powerfull. Just has a bit of a learning curve [05:20] deb version [05:20] yes ubuntu [05:20] mMezquitale, I have it up already, but could rip it apart if needed. [05:20] gasull , yah, got this part ;) i installed Windows Xp on a partition with virtual box, but i do not have any 'internet connection' or USB support on it , so i [05:20] greezmunkey, at one point I had the same swap used by 3 different versions of ubuntu until karmic was released, off course off course [05:20] ssmy: or lshw -c network [05:20] electricTape: ubuntu doesn't use YUM [05:20] cellofellow, i dowloaded from http://brlcad.org/d/download [05:20] gasull ok, doubletwist is a windows app ? [05:20] electrictape: just get it from synaptic package manager. [05:20] lstarnes, is there a known issue with the 9.10 live installer's partitioner not seeing any partitions? [05:20] phongphrai: which version? The Linux or the Source? [05:20] B166er-X: yes [05:20] electricTape: look for flashplugin in synaptic [05:20] jongbergs: thanks, forgot that existed. [05:21] SeaPhor: I don't know [05:21] SeaPhor: I'm still using 8.04 [05:21] noneNN: I don't know what to tell you man, what happens when you boot from the pendrive? [05:21] ssmy: no probs :) [05:21] anyone tested flash-plugin 10.1 [05:21] B166er-X: another possibility is VirtualBox + hackintosh + doubletwist [05:21] mMezquitale, I am a bit concerned with allocating 4GB for swap, but I plan to bring this box up to 4GB of ram soon, so it should be ok me thinks... [05:21] B166er-X, just.. probably a little easier to crack the thing and install ssh [05:21] B166er-X, then you can access the iPod like a normal computer, send files, etc [05:21] draconis, its brand new, and i dont want to screw the warranty [05:22] cellofellow, brlcad_7.10.4_ia32.tar.bz2 [05:22] jailbreaking an iphone does not ruin warranty just flash back if you need to [05:22] chrionix, im my notebook its boots perfectly, and so in other computers, but the issue is with the the netbook, but i dont know if its somehitng about size of pendrive and bios compability... [05:22] actually, if I could somehow diagnose this random lockup I wouldn't need to downgrade from 9.04 to 8.04.3 [05:22] that's why you save the firmware [05:22] greezmunkey, swap depends on how much memory you have, I have never noticed swap being used on my laptop with 2 gigs of memory [05:22] lstarnes, thank you, that's the first honest answer i've seen all night. and btw, on my main boxes,, so am I [05:22] hello anyone how to backup blackberry data on ubuntu 9.10 [05:23] phongphrai: that's a binary download. If you untar it there should be a file you can just run (though I'm not sure). Once you get it running you're on your own, I have no idea how to use CAD software. [05:23] !blackberry [05:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about blackberry [05:23] SeaPhor: I am pretty sure I have seen other valid answers [05:23] noneNN: It really shouldn't be that, netbooks are very recent creatures, I'm sure any bios will handle an 8gb stick [05:23] whatever, same difference [05:23] Who received a CD-ROM?? [05:23] phongphrai: if it doesn't work the try downloading and compiling the Source package from the same webpage. [05:23] SeaPhor: I honestly haven't done anything to help you beyond saying that I don't know how to help you [05:23] lstarnes, sorry, i mainly meant to my questions [05:23] roger: opensync? [05:23] Dallas1, any reason not to try 9.10? [05:24] roger_, backing up your blackberry is a topic I would rather you use a forum instead of the support channel [05:24] mMezquitale, yeah, the server box currently has 512MB ram, 146MB free, 0 swap, but it's really not doing anything right now. [05:24] roger: or barrybackup-gui [05:24] cellofellow, extracting the file brlcad_7.10.4_ia32.tar.bz2 gives me a folder containing 2800 files with a doc that doesnt apply properly to how install [05:24] chrionix, mmm i havent tried with another pendrive... it could be the pendrive too... ive seen some guys having similar problems on the web [05:24] SeaPhor: someone else here might know, but you're the first user that I've heard about that issue from [05:24] SeaPhor: try using the same karmic cd then go straight installing ubuntu from the install menu [05:24] noneNN: Does the pendrive actually come up in the boot menu? [05:24] greezmunkey, smoke 'em if you got 'em, I would use 1 gig for swap though but if you already have the partition then just go ahead with the install [05:24] flan: the driver isn't made for 9.1 [05:25] SeaPhor: don't use the live session for now.. [05:25] phongphrai: BRLCAD is still very much an in-house Department of Defese project, so they've obviously neglected some things that third party users need like docs and an installation script. [05:25] roger_, i have read it is possible though unlike my htc mogul [05:25] noneNN: I'm not talking about going into the bios, I'm talking about a little menu that pops up, and gives you a choice of bootable media found [05:25] flan: the graphics driver [05:25] If you're going to install to a pendrive/usb, I would recommend doing a live persistent install rather than a regular install. Then you can save changes and also use it on other computers two [05:25] jh2os: if you are using compiz, try disabling it [05:25] cellofellow, i see...besides qcad is only 2D [05:26] jh2os: I've heard that many other users with the same issue fixed it temporarily by disabling compiz [05:26] phongphrai: search "cad" in synaptic, there's a half-dozen other packages you can try. [05:26] flan: I don't think there's alot of functionality for it in 9.04 but it's working right now, it just locks up after 10 minutes or so of use. [05:26] chrionix, yes, but it doesnt detect the pendrive i can only see the sata driev [05:26] Dallas1, can you write down the exact message it gives you? [05:26] hmmm ok [05:26] Dallas1, I can't find my bookmark, and I don't know the phrase to help find it. [05:26] phongphrai: and if you don't need true CAD functionality, like the ability to drive a CNC machine or the like, then maybe a 3D modeller like Blender would do the job. [05:27] noneNN: ahh okay [05:27] Why cant it be installed from the site though, says it has a building error when the installer comes up? [05:27] Dallas1, I have been through this before, and the solution worked, but I can't seem to find the link again. [05:27] cellofellow, ok i will try this now [05:27] Hi [05:27] flan: I don't even know if the lockup is a graphics issue, because my mouse will work, but the OS and whatever program I have open is unresponsive. I've let it sit for an hour with no changes === inexia is now known as wease| [05:28] Dallas1, I mean the message you get when trying to install via a USB stick [05:28] is there a guiway to reinstall grub that gets lost after windows install ? i read the help page of ubuntu site.. its all command line... users who switch from windows always want only the GUI way of doing this ... is it really a possible exisiting answer for this ? [05:28] noneNN: have you got another pendrive you can try? [05:28] Dallas1: Are you installing to a USB or from a USB [05:28] hello ubuntu experts [05:28] flan: oh, yeah. I'd rather use 9.04 if anyone knows a work around for this random freezing issue. [05:29] mcurran, he's trying to install from a USB to a netbook, with an Alternate Install. [05:29] mcurran: from [05:29] lstarnes, the problem seems to be that all is different now, used to be that the knowledgeable ppl answered and the inexperienced ppl asked .. and this was watched, now the inexperienced are answering without any checks- i watched as someone explained in detail how to enable the root user and passwd the other day, which when i first joined here would have got me banned,,, there seems to be a gap here [05:29] chrionix, on what kind of computer you are trying to install karmic? [05:29] chrionix, an mp3 player but im worried i might have the mp3 player software if i format it [05:29] Are you getting a grub error 17 [05:29] mcurran, problem is, it looks for a CD Rom drive, which doesn't exist, but there's a modified boot image that overrides this and allows the installation to continue from the USB stick. [05:29] faryshta: I'm not trying, noneNN is [05:30] mcurran: what flan said [05:30] anyone know how to remove ad inside a streamlining flash clip or movie? [05:30] noneNN: yeah, I wouldn't advise using that [05:30] OK [05:30] sorry. noneNN on what kind of computer you are trying to install Karmic? [05:30] mMezqitale, irc from the server... === UniSpades is now known as whatonearthartth [05:30] So does it boot up from USB or not yet === greezmun1ey is now known as greezmunkey_ [05:30] SeaPhor: I agree with you totally, but it seems like the knowledgeable people have given up helping, so it's left to the dumbasses like myself to try and help :P [05:30] mcurran: it will boot. It gets to the portion where [05:30] faryshta, its a bangho netbook b-nox1, its a netbook from argentina... it has intel chip phoenix bios [05:31] i'm with you chrionix [05:31] where... [05:31] mcurran, it looks for a CD-ROM drive, which doesn't exist, but there's a modified boot image that overrides this and allows the installation to continue from the USB stick. [05:31] mcurran: you install the cd-rom to start installation. and since it isn't a cd-rom. There's nowhere to go [05:31] noneNN, when I installed Ubuntu on my netbook I had to ask a friend to lend me a USB-CD-DRIVE. I haven't figure out how to install Ubuntu in flash drives, sorry. [05:31] mcurran, I was able to get around this by putting a modified boot image onto the USB stick, and it worked. [05:32] cellofellow, looks usefull thank you [05:32] mcurran, I just forget where to find this modified image, even though I'm sure I bookmarked it. [05:32] hi, can someone tell me how to use the emerald window manager without going through compiz-fusion? [05:32] phongphrai: what is, sorry? Blender? [05:32] yes [05:32] but i wonder if i can draw my house with details inside [05:32] I'd really rather work with 9.04 now that I do have it working somewhat. I wish I could figure out the locking up issue if any people have experience with that. [05:32] Dallas1, and you said Karmic doesn't support your video card? [05:33] tell grub, syslinux, or whatever where the real image is - which would be in the modified bootloaders configuration file [05:33] faryshta, so u had same problem? did u use netbootin or any software like that? [05:33] hey guys. Im running ubuntu. I installed Compiz but I don't have a Compiz preferences option when I go to system > preferences. What am I doing wrong? [05:33] phongphrai: glad it helped. There's been some talk I've seen online of adding CAD features to Blender, but it's a bit in the future. [05:33] SeaPhor: and if you take openprojects/freenode as a whole, #ubuntu has drastically brought down the exclusivity of the place. It's turned into a newbie farm [05:33] crap - forgot - wheres the sources.list stored? [05:33] noneNN, no I asked a friend to lend me a USB-CD-DRIVE.

[05:35] Dallas1, I never heard of that. [05:35] anyone know what to do to get it to work ? [05:35] Dallas1: What are you running on the netbook now? [05:35] My T41 hangs when I'm connected to the Internet, please PM me [05:35] mcurran: 9.04 [05:35] faryshta: which version of ubuntu? I'm using 8.04 on a dual-core 64-bit system [05:35] is there anyway to use emerald without going through compiz? [05:35] SeaPhor: yeah, I'm not really in a position to loiter in irc chans atm, I just come on as required [05:35] skpl: no [05:35] lstarnes, sorry for not specificate. Karmic. [05:36] is there a way to password protect a directory -- i have one account and need password protection to only one directory so that my sisters can't view it accidently when she's using my account [05:36] faryshta: the number of provessors shouldn't affect whether or not it can be installed [05:36] Dallas1: So did you understand what I said, you probably have the bootloader's kernel line and image entry pointing to /dev/cdrom0 instead of the USB drive [05:36] Does anyone here could install Karmic 64 bits in a dual-core 64 bits processor? [05:36] Dallas1, I found it. [05:36] lstarnes, I know it shouldn't... yet it does. [05:36] mcurran: I have no idea. [05:37] flan:excellent! [05:37] faryshta: if isn't working, then its probably something else making it not work [05:37] faryshta: having a dual-core system almost certainly wouldn't cause issues [05:37] chrionix, well, i'm now stuck on a 9.04 live cd... so i'm looking for any assistance i can get, lol [05:37] find out what bootloader the image is using, (probably syslinux) - mount the usb with 9.04 and modify the syslinux config file as appropriate [05:37] Dallas1, it's for 8.04, Hardy, right? [05:37] lstarnes, I checked every corner, every test, everything I could think including md5, testing other machines and burn 4x. [05:38] lstarnes, yet it DOES cause issues.

[05:38] lstarnes, you can try. Burn Karmic 64 and try to start a liveCD on your dual-core processor. [05:38] There isn't a config file for the kernel [05:39] lstarnes, yes there is a bug report on launchpad for my model of machine. I don't know if it affect just my model or every dual-core.

[05:42] faryshta: it's probably an issue specific to your model, but it might be a good idea to get an opinion from someone else [05:43] Dallas1: If you're still here - mount the USB with 9.04 and look in the boot folder for your bootloader [05:43] lstarnes, ttp://www.google.com.mx/search?hl=es&safe=off&q=launchpad+boot+karmic+64 [05:43] lstarnes, I am trying to get opinion from other people RIGHT NOW. === {[a is now known as Gh === Gh is now known as Guest64214 [05:45] I'm using 32 bit on a 3 core system. Is there an advantage to using 64 bit if you only have 2 GB of mem? [05:45] faryshta: which model are you using? [05:46] Does anyone here could install Karmic 64 bits in a dual-core 64 bits processor? [05:46] lstarnes, Dell Optiplex 740. [05:46] faryshta: which CPU? [05:46] what command can I use to install ajuntu? [05:46] lstarnes, I have Ubuntu 9.04 64 bits there. [05:46] or that code writing software [05:47] lstarnes, I don't get your last question. [05:47] faryshta: which cpu model does the dell optiplex 740 use? [05:47] Dell Optiplex 740 IS a model of computer. [05:47] I run 9.10 x64 here [05:47] core 2 doesnt it lstarnes [05:48] Maarten, you have dual-core? I mean two 64 bits processors? [05:48] chd1: I'm not sure, but that is certainly likely [05:48] we used to have them at the state [05:48] Maarten, sorry the last "?" wasn't supossed to be there. === damjan_ is now known as [AtuM] [05:48] well we still have them at the state, I just down work there anymore [05:48] can someone tell me why my right click does not work? [05:48] i believe lstarnes is asking what Processor(s) you are using [05:49] spridel, ohh. lstarnes 2x AMD Turion 64 bits. [05:49] faryshta: Yeah, laptop with a dual core vPro Centrino [05:50] Maarten, ohh then it must just affect AMD. [05:50] doesnt ubuntu 9.04 come with a c++ compiler on it already? [05:50] dunno I have all Intel here [05:50] wow,,, i have been a constant presence here since ubuntu 6.10, been away a bit and now i see,,, this is the beginning of the end of the best thing i have ever witnessed, used to be experienced ppl giving answers, ops monitoring bad advice, and good ppl of all experience levels interacting, now, its almost an open channel, get a grip ops,, or its over, as for me i'm out. [05:51] can someone tell me how to switch between emerlad and metacity? [05:51] Anyone here ever installed Aleph One? [05:51] chd1: it might, but you will need build-essential [05:51] chd1, no but to install the compiler just write: sudo apt-get build-essentials. [05:51] Maarten, thanks you where really helpful. [05:51] I am not getting any music in it :( even though sound effect work fine.. [05:51] skol: I think you need this in your xorg.conf under mouse section " Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"" [05:51] SeaPhor: what exactly is your problem? [05:52] faryshta: does that have g++ in it? [05:52] chd1: yes [05:52] !netsplit [05:52] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[05:53] I am not getting any music in it :( even though sound effect work fine.. [05:53] Me too RPG [05:53] RPG_Master, did you installed codecs? [05:53] mcurran: Sound effects but no music? [05:53] skpl: You can set the default decorator in ccsm>Window Decoration>Command field [05:53] faryshta: Yep [05:53] Yes, but for every media player [05:53] E: invalid operation [05:54] for build-essential [05:54] flan: ya there? [05:54] chd1: sudo apt-get install build-essential [05:54] mcurran: meaning you can listen to the soundtrack in a media player? same for me [05:54] RPG_Master, this will make me sound like a douche bag but have you tried checking the sound in the configurations of Gnome (or KDE). [05:54] faryshta: Ya, and its fine man. You've gotta cover the basics :P [05:55] Yes: RPG, but it doesn't output any sound, even when I fix alsamixer, only system sounds work [05:55] i need some help, i've deleted a partitition containing ubuntu on my laptop in windows, and i re-formatted it so windows would recognize as a seperate partition on the hdd, but whenever i boot up my pc now, the GRUB loader that i had for the dual-boot gives me "error 17" [05:55] chd1, the compiler is called g++. [05:55] can someone help me? [05:55] jongbergs, its not my individual issue that is the problem, i'll fix my issues, but ,,,just "have fun" and nvm ;-) [05:55] mcurran: Wait, we're both talking about Aleph One right? [05:55] Because you deleted grub's files also [05:55] bobofosho13: what operating systems do you have installed now? Just windows? [05:55] yeah just windows xp pro sp2 [05:56] RPG_Master, no I haven't used Aleph One, but have the same issue with all other players [05:56] good day! how do i configure dhcpd.conf for two subnets with same netmask of 255.255.248.0 [05:56] Aleph One is a game :( [05:56] bobofosho13: You need to reinstall your MBR [05:56] you know what software Im talking about though? [05:56] its like aujuntu? [05:56] soreau: i w3as not able to find that in ccsm [05:56] or something like that [05:56] mcurran: how do i do that? [05:56] im looking to use emerald instead of metacity [05:56] has a purple horse as its shortcut [05:56] mcurran: I was kinda hoping it was like a karmic issue and not just me :( [05:56] is there a command for that? [05:57] Hi I'm wondering what would be a good choice of tool in order to rip a dvd? I'm fine with the command line and thinking of ripping to ogg/vorbis? [05:57] chd1, make the question again please. [05:57] Hey, I got a weird question, will 9.10 resize ntfs win7 partitions like other partitions for an install on my main machine? [05:57] hi [05:57] can someone who's interested in helping me open a pm === saint_ is now known as Guest52658 [05:57] skpl: emerald --replace [05:57] I was wondering if anyone knew how to install aujuntu, or what it was called, the c++ coding program for ubuntu, it had a purple horse as the icon [05:57] Do a recovery console with your XP disc and do FIXMBR or use a win98 cd and fdisk /mbr, just google it [05:57] soreau: ok thank you [05:57] Dallas1, probably yes. If you have not your hard drive partitioned it surely will. [05:58] problem: when i log into gnome, the window manager no longer starts (I was using compiz and doesn't work with metacity either). There's no window decoration, and I have to start the window manager manually. Any pointers as to where the problem might be? [05:58] soreau: very helpfull, thank you [05:58] dav: What do you want as default? [05:58] g++ which comes with build-essential (I think) is a C++ compiler [05:58] soreau: compiz [05:58] chd1, if you want a compiler, g++ comes with build-essentials. Just type: g++ archive.cpp -o archive [05:58] mcurran: there are some other issues surrounding this one that i need to tell u can i open a pm? [05:58] hi how do I choose how many desktop spaces I have in Ubuntu? [05:59] bobo: sure [05:59] dav: Then you should set Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects to Extra [05:59] soreau: already done. multiple times. still doesn't start on login. [05:59] no not a compiler, it was a program you could write c++ code in and itd color code it for you and stuff [05:59] faryshta: beautiful, I may have to try it then. [05:59] soreau: (it works fine until I log out though) [05:59] dav: How are you starting it manually? [06:00] you want an IDE it sounds like chd1 [06:00] SeaPhor: ok i see ppl here are trying their best to help you out..we just hope your issue will be fixed asap :) [06:00] electricTape: right-click on the workspace switcher applet, select preferences, then change the number of workspaces [06:00] any text editor should do that: vim emacs gedit [06:00] you just need to set extension to .cpp [06:00] how do you open .chm files? [06:00] soreau: basically by doing just what you describe. the window decorations appear, i can work, but when I log out and log back in, no more window manager. [06:00] beowulf_: install xchm [06:00] dav: How are you starting compiz manually? [06:00] hey mcurran! [06:01] ya do you know which one Im talking about spridel [06:01] soreau: by choosing extra [06:01] soreau: that starts it [06:01] soreau: i think just calling compiz from the terminal might work too [06:01] mcurran: flan was helping but I think he logged. I put initrd.gz and vmlinux on the usb stick, what else do I need to edit to tell it to use the usb and not cdr [06:01] soreau: calling metacity definitely did work.. [06:01] dav: Do you have compiz or fusion-icon in Sys>Prefs>Startup apps? [06:01] chd1: no, not off the top of my head i don't but i'll talke a look [06:01] electricTape:You can right click on desktops and select properties. [06:02] chd1 anjuta IDA [06:02] chd1, well here we have thousands of those. nano, vi for example. [06:02] IDE rather [06:02] I use Vi for my programs. [06:02] soreau: nope. [06:02] yaya anjuta [06:02] sudo apt-get install anjuta? [06:02] will that work? [06:03] chd1, yes. [06:03] its avaible in the Ubunto software center...i'm a graphics/n00b user [06:03] dav: When you log in and look at the visual effects radio buttons, what is it set to? [06:03] man I love how easy it is to install software [06:03] soreau: none [06:03] soreau: (and metacity isn't running either: no window manager) [06:04] dav: My best guess is you have permission issues in ~/ ($HOME) [06:04] soreau: didn't touch any of that recently - should i have compiz in startup? [06:04] dav: You could try to work around it by putting compiz in startup [06:04] chd1, so far I can read on the description, that program is meant to be used with Gnome so you will get the best features and speed here using Linux. [06:05] hi, i was wondering how my second hd can automatically mount everytime i login?

[06:06] does anyone have a google wave invite they would like to share [06:06] soreau: not very elegant but it works. thank you.

[06:10] kain: what filesystem does your drive is? [06:11] jongbergs: the one i want to automatically mount is Linux Ext4 [06:11] which filesystem should you use for karmic? ext4 or 3? [06:12] jeffmr: you can use either [06:12] lstarnes, what is the difference? [06:12] Why did karmic break crontab? [06:12] jeffmr: ext4 is newer [06:12] ext4 is a bit faster but restoring grub is a pain [06:12] Mcurran: actually I think I just found a work around at http://machicecaga.blogspot.com/2009/08/dell-mini-10-z520-gma-500-ubuntu-904.html [06:12] jeffmr: it also has some newer features [06:12] make youyr /boot partition ext3 [06:12] kain: where do you want to mount it?

[06:13] jeffmr: I think so, but I'm not exactly sure how [06:13] jongbergs: well i usually just double click and it mounts or right click on the disk and mount it [06:13] kain: /mnt?

How did you determine it didn't execute? etc. [06:47] perscitus, i have crontab auto-starting scripts, i have other things such as auto-mounting partitiions being done by other things,,, plz explain,,, what are you wanting crontab to do? [06:47] jrib.-> uh. edit crontab, add a command to execute at specific time. Then when time comes, it doesnt execute. [06:47] perscitus: My first guess is that your not calling the full path. [06:47] perscitus, what command? [06:47] perscitus: "edit crontab" is vague. "add a command to execute at specific time" is vague. [06:47] I am calling full path [06:48] It would help if you showed us what you have [06:48] perscitus: just tell us exactly what you are doing. [06:48] perscitus: that can be caused by a number of things, the first thing I would try is to make sure the comand you entered is valid [06:48] where can I example partition maps for booting multiple linux distros ?

[06:56] greezmunkey: be advised that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto has more info :) [06:56] jonathaN: ok, no problem :) [06:56] ardchoille.-> is it possible to get crontab to execute every 15 minutes during an hour? [06:56] artistxe: I would've tried those types of things if it was a widespread issue. But, other apps are receiving mouse input just fine. [06:56] perscitus: yes [06:56] Monocian: yes, more thatn enought it should [06:56] ardchoille, bookmarked that one too, thanks! [06:57] perscitus: 00,15,30,45 * * * * [06:57] ardchoille.-> how? [06:57] perscitus: This info is in my crontab tutorial :) [06:57] artistxe: Oh, also, I never boot with the mouse. I plug it in after the OS and everything has booted correctly. [06:58] SeanInSeattle, just one program ? strange [06:58] ardchoille.-> so 0,15,45 4,5 is every 15 mins for hours 4 and 5? [06:58] artistxe: Do apps log issues with IO? [06:58] perscitus: 00,15,30,45 === fernando is now known as Guest86770 [06:58] What would I add to the Grub2 entry for OS X to make it boot in safe mode? I know the boot arguement is -x in OS X, but how do I pass that from grub? [06:58] perscitus: 00,15,30,45 04,05 [06:59] ardchoille.-> and 4,5 is for hour [06:59] perscitus: notice the space [06:59] perscitus: military time = 04,05 [06:59] if afternoon then it would be 16,17 [06:59] perscitus: The five required fields are: minute (0-59), hour (0-23, 0 = midnight), day (1-31), month (1-12), weekday (0-6, 0 = Sunday), command [06:59] quien d mexico?

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [07:00] ardchoille, one would think that crontab would be useful for practical jokes! [07:00] greezmunkey: lol [07:00] artistxe: How to check logs? And... which logs to check? [07:01] SeanInSeattle, the log files are located in /var/logs [07:01] SeanInSeattle, what are you looking for? [07:01] ardchoille.-> What if i want totem to restart? [07:02] artistxe / greezmunkey: Looking I/O problems in eclipse app to show up in logs. [07:02] perscitus: Hmm.. not sure about that one. I guess you could kill totem and restart it but there's probably a better way [07:03] ardchoille.-> so 10,40,55 04,05 * * * killall totem ? [07:03] hi guys, is mac address blocking better than WPA/WEP keys in terms of security? Most paid wifi uses WPA/WEP, and I noticed that they don't change the password regularly. [07:03] Network question, I have sshd running on the server, what do I have to do from here to opne a terminal on the remote machine? I get filesystem access only at this point. [07:03] how come i think mplayer is better than totem? [07:03] perscitus: that should work [07:03] i second that git [07:03] artistxe: Which log should I be searching in? [07:03] mac address is layer 2 [07:03] ardchoille.-> this is for my alarm clock. makes me get up and walk across the room [07:04] perscitus: There are gui apps that can be used as alarm clocks [07:04] git__, I'm thinking since with mac address blocking, I can connect and disconnect users at will [07:04] perscitus, whoa dude, that's a pretty expensive alarm clock, PS (what if it crashes?) [07:05] unwedged85, mac address can be virtualized [07:05] greezmunkey.-> Linux crashes? [07:05] perscitus, no wonder you didn't want anyone to know what you were up to :] [07:05] each network adapter companies are assigned a Mac address space :) [07:05] unwedged85, much like how arin assign ISP address space [07:05] SeanInSeattle, if there are errors to be logged , I would assume they would be in an "eclipse" log ( although I do not use eclipse) [07:05] ardchoille.-> and no. there isnt anything [07:05] perscitus: apt-cache policy alarm-clock [07:06] perscitus, the power can go out. My alarm clock has a backup battery, and cost $8.00 [07:06] hi [07:06] perscitus: er apt-cache show alarm-clock [07:06] What's the popular IDE for python?

[07:10] SeanInSeattle, Stani's Python Editor [07:10] crap nautilus crashed [07:10] ardchoille, heh alarm-clock works, done... [07:10] Good idea to always search the repos [07:11] ardchoille, no kidding, better than hand coding things... [07:11] indeed [07:11] I haven't had to compile anything in years [07:13] ardchoille, yikes, I forgot I set the thing to go off, scared the piss out of me...(never turn your back on your computer!)

The laptop bench testing page says it works out of the box for my model HP (dv-1000) in breezy and dapper, though edgy final is apparently untested [07:14] migg137, Ive never tried that, I would like to know. I like to think all things are possible, but I wouldnt know [07:15] migg137, I am setting up an XP session in VB now. I've done some reading on that, and I guess it is possible, but pretty hairy.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [07:20] migg137, it runs as if it is on dedicated hardware as far as I can tell. I have a VB set up on this laptop, and run MS office within it just fine. One thing though, VB currently doesn't support GRE, so pptp vpn's are out of the question. I do have a way around it though ;) [07:20] hemant_, I should upload a screen shot of my setup and show you, and then you look at the orginal you will see its very customizable. [07:20] hemant_: for a related product, try ubuntu netbook remix [07:21] kann jemand deutsch? [07:21] greezmunkey, im sorry but i dont know what GRE is im not that advanced yet lol [07:21] hemant_, to see what sort of (useless but fun) things you can do on ubuntu, search "compiz" on youtube [07:21] !de | sHaDoW [07:21] sHaDoW: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[07:34] I'd prefer to try to do it with compiz instead, sicne I got that figured out [07:35] migg137, no guarantees, you'll have to try it.

[07:49] vega- i had dual boot: Ubuntu / Windows [07:49] Desen, using XP to delete? you should try in ##windows as this channel is for Ubuntu support [07:49] knoppies, cool. [07:49] greezmunkey: bmon is a commandline bandwidth monitor [07:49] hemant__ : then remove the panels, and install gnome-do :) [07:50] greezmunkey: apt-cache show bmon ;) [07:50] can u explain me once more [07:50] ardchoille, sounds like a nice tool, I'll check it out, thanks all :) [07:50] hemant__ : add a start menu launcher on desktop, as a backup, to use it, when you need ;) [07:50] Desen: i don't see how that is related.. anyway the answer to your question doesn't relate to ubuntu in any way [07:50] bazhang, vega- i was wondering if there's any tool i could use from the open source community, since ##windows has failed me in helping with my problem [07:50] Desen, not in this situation no [07:51] hemant__: Right click all the panels, and remove them , then install gnome-do , { you can do most of the things with gnome-do i.e start applications etc. } [07:51] Desen: as the partition is ntfs, sounds a little far fetched ..

[07:55] how can i make the desktop panels look nice in gnome? [07:56] freaky[t]: clarify what you mean. [07:56] freaky[t], right-click properties. [07:56] freaky[t], or you could use a dock like cairo-dock or AWN [07:56] Dr_Willis, for example in xfce the panels look nice ... i mean ... where can I get nice working backgrounds or whatever? [07:56] saluton [07:57] kiel vi fartas? [07:57] dave456, english here [07:57] knoppies, ill have a look at cairo-dock didnt test it yet [07:57] freaky[t]: you can set panel backgrounds if you want. I hate backgrounds on my panels [07:57] mi ne komprenas [07:57] Dr_Willis: that error happens while there is try to call via that java applet on ff [07:57] freaky[t], just make sure you download and install cairo-dock2.0 not the 1.? that is in the repositories. [07:57] knoppies, 2.0.9 is in repos [07:57] what's up with ubuntu 9.10 [07:57] how will i change with gnome do [07:58] it like changed everything [07:58] freaky[t], oh, my bad. [07:58] knoppies, hehe np ;D now u know ^^ [07:58] dave456, did you have a support question or just wish to chat [07:58] dave456: its a transition release - they updated a lotof things to get ready for the next LTS release. [07:58] freaky[t]: increase the panel size, make them a bit more transparent, this thing is something you would have to play with, just right click the panel and dive in its properties. :) [07:58] is this LTS 9.10? [07:58] !lts [07:58] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [07:58] dave456, no [07:58] the add and remove interface has channed [07:59] virtuald, hm ok thanks ... testing cairo-dock atm will have a cloder look at properties later [07:59] dave456: so? its changed. [07:59] why can't we have the old one? [07:59] dave456: Progress [07:59] dave456, its still there [08:00] how th gnome will work [08:00] I think theres about 4 'differnt, alternatives' now to add and remove packages from the system. [08:00] I have problem with my a4tech office 8k mouse. It freezes at system start. I must replugin it and then it works. What should I do? [08:00] that is Dr_Willis? [08:00] carck3r: replace it ;) [08:00] I haven't got other mouse [08:01] knoppies, do you use it with autohide or something? oO [08:01] Sorry for my english... [08:01] why doesn't empathy highlight your nick when someone types your nick? [08:01] dave456: the 'ubuntu software center' i hear is supposed tobecome the 'main' inteface to package managment. Personally I use synaptic. [08:02] I see [08:02] I use synaptic sometimes [08:02] when I can't install frrom add and remove some apps [08:02] or libraries or something [08:02] I dont even see an 'add/remove' here any more on this new install [08:02] I use apt or synaptic or add and remove [08:03] because the 'add/remove' is a slimmed down tool i guess. [08:03] apt hasn't changed much [08:03] probably better to use apt [08:04] they all still use apt (or aptitude) ultimately anyway :) [08:04] dave456: thats why theres front ends and back ends. :) You can always use the core cli tools if you wanted [08:04] aptitude is also a front end. :) [08:04] I don't like aptitude [08:04] it causes many problems [08:04] apt-get, synaptic, aptitude are all using dpkg? or are they using an own databases? so its safe to mix them all? [08:04] it has some nice options that apt doesn't have last time I checked [08:05] but it has messed stuff up for me a few times [08:05] so i don't use it [08:05] iceroot_: they all use the same backend and db, it's safe to mix them [08:05] ardchoille: ok [08:05] iceroot_: I also have had aptitude do some .. 'odd' things in the past. :) [08:05] Had aptitude remove 200 packages.. then reinstalled them.. once.. Never was sure why it did that. [08:05] Dr_Willis: i am using dpkg the last days very much [08:06] as far as I know they both use different databases iceroot_ [08:06] Dr_Willis: i am building my own packages with dpkg-divert :) its much fun to build own debs :) [08:06] dave456: both? [08:06] can i get a small footprint of ubuntu [08:06] anybody have an example script that runs a program and enters y when asked a question? [08:06] it can mess up your machine compiling from course [08:06] source* [08:07] hemant_, use a different window manager or DE such as lxde [08:07] digitalfiz: you mean to automate some task and have it 'auto' answer a command from a script? [08:07] mean? [08:07] if you compile from source it is better to do it in a chroot environment iceroot_ [08:07] !info expect [08:07] expect (source: expect): A program that can automate interactive applications. In component main, is optional. Version 5.43.0-17 (karmic), package size 308 kB, installed size 628 kB [08:07] dave456: i dont compile anything, just have some modified conffiles in a deb using dpkg-divert [08:08] hello. one of my hard disks has many bad sectors on it. how can I scan and repair the disk? [08:08] Dr_Willis, yes im using a cpanel command that asks are you sure and im trying to automate deleting 800+ domains so pressing y by hand for each one is a pain lol [08:08] hmm [08:08] digitalfiz: see 'expect' or the 'yes' command :) 'yes | command thatasks' (but expect is proberly a better tool) [08:09] you mean like some options that are not present that you have to recompile to get? Dr_Willis [08:09] xchat won't download any files or show me a ddc request [08:09] jocco: new install of 9.10 and its giving you a warning? [08:09] how am i to fix this? [08:09] digitalfiz, a lot of commands have a flag for "expect yes" built right in. Be careful, that sort of thing can bite. [08:09] hello [08:09] Dr_Willis, yes new 910 [08:09] Grunge: check your ignores; Windows > Ignore list... [08:10] it doesn't show up [08:10] jocco: the smart monitoring tools can be a little 'over cautious' I have a drive that it says has toomany bad sectors.. but the hd tools ive used on it say its ok.

[08:25] ^^ [08:25] vladovg: just FYI; man who play in root eventually kill tree [08:25] freaky[t], Chromium by chance? [08:25] greezmunkey, i dont know. i just know about chrome - the browser - chromium is just the engine or smth.? oO [08:26] hah [08:26] ok [08:26] ay am new [08:26] I got both 'google chrome' and 'chromoim web browser' icons ehre. [08:26] freaky[t], no it's the browser, been out for a few weeks I think... [08:26] h ok [08:26] hm ok [08:26] quick regex question [08:27] what's a regex that encompasses two characters and all contained text [08:27] i.e. something that would capture all of "xxx" [08:27] nick jonzbcc [08:27] where xxx is variable === jonz_ is now known as jonzbcc [08:27] nick jim [08:27] jthomas: that belongs in #regex [08:27] freaky[t], 4.0.245.0 (Ubuntu build 31665), that's the ver I installed [08:28] Billiard: alright [08:28] hello, does anyone know if its possible to change the default location of the Ubuntu One folder? [08:28] greezmunkey, of chromium? [08:28] The Medibuntu repos have 'googleearth' in them :) in case anyone wants to try googleearth [08:28] freaky[t], yes [08:28] jonzbcc: ive heard it asked befor..but never seen an answer. theres #ubuntuone channel that proberly knows [08:28] greezmunkey, hm i think ill stay with google chrome [08:28] oh, there is? thanks, i'll go there [08:29] I have a 64 bit system running, is there a way I can clone it to a 32 bit machine? [08:29] freaky[t], I was just trying it out, don't care for it much. [08:29] ok [08:30] rashed2020: you could copy over individual config files in /etc and copy over your home dirs [08:30] !clone | rashed2020 [08:30] rashed2020: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [08:30] hi [08:31] So copy config files, copy home folder and then do what ubottu just told me. That would more or less give me the same install I have? [08:31] Yes, pretty much. [08:31] Great. [08:31] xchat throw an error when connecting a server through ssl [08:31] *ssl3 [08:31] pepee: What is the error? [08:32] Connection failed. Error: (336130315) error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number Are you sure this is a SSL capable server and port? [08:32] Are you connecting to the SSL port? [08:32] yes [08:32] What's the server and port? [08:33] /sslserver irc.deepspace.org 6667 [08:34] For IRC, 6667 is typically the unsecured port. [08:34] Is it possible to ssh into a remote machine and get a terminal on that machine? All I seem to get is filesystem access, works great for transferring files, but not for much else. [08:34] pepee: Try 6697 [08:34] greezmunkey, use ssh [08:34] d'oh [08:35] haha fahadsadah read the error [08:35] greezmunkey, apt-get install openssh-client [08:35] *message [08:35] greezmunkey: ssh gets you a shell. 'sshfs' can let you mount the remote to a local directory. [08:35] greezmunkey, and then ssh [08:35] Wjat [08:35] greezmunkey: the gnome file manager does the 'mounting' part. Use just ssh from a terminal. [08:35] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=471681 <- related, supposed to be fixed [08:36] What's the difference between openssh-client and the one that comes preinstalled? [08:36] Dr_Willis, do you use sshfs? if yes, do you also automatically establish theconnection? if yes - how to? =D [08:36] pepee: That's not your problem. [08:36] Dr_Willis, I'm reading the man page now. [08:36] irc.deepspace.org has unsecured IRC listening on 6667 [08:36] And does not support SSL [08:37] it supports ssl [08:37] greezmunkey, ssh ssh.host.tld or ssh user@ssh.host.tld ;D [08:37] I dont mean to be hating on ubuntu (honestly i think its amazing) just there are some things that just dont work quite as well as windows. For example I am trying learn python gui programming and using the python idle editor to compose a program it crashes almost everytime I change, something and run it. This does not happen on windows. Help! [08:37] pepee: I tried from here, and it doesn't seem to. [08:38] pepee: /sslconnect irc.deepspace.org 6999 [08:38] fahadsadah, client? [08:38] no shi3t, it worked! [08:38] is there anything which makes xchat look nicer? [08:38] rashed2020: 6999 isn't open on that server [08:38] I just nmapped it [08:39] pepee: It has 6665-6669 unsecure IRC [08:39] No SSL [08:39] freaky[t]: theres xchat, then theres xchat-gnome (i perfer xchat) then theres other irc clients [08:39] freaky[t]: check the package manager for other irc clients [08:39] Dr_Willis, hm ok [08:39] thanky ou [08:39] thank you [08:39] freaky[t]: most people HATE xchat-gnome [08:40] ok, I can't connect with konversation too [08:40] pepee: The server does not support SSL. [08:40] im having a look at weechat [08:40] Hi, when I switched on my PC, bios sent my an error, "default values are seted", and when I wanna to start ubuntu, grub doesn't start ubuntu automatically, how can I set for do it? thanks [08:41] ok, thanks [08:41] BlouBlou: So grub loads and is able to run the OSs on the list, but Ubuntu isn't the default one? [08:41] appears to be true :( [08:41] freaky[t]: im using weechat here. its text based [08:41] I dont mean to be hating on ubuntu (honestly i think its amazing) just there are some things that just dont work quite as well as windows. For example I am trying learn python gui programming and using the python idle editor to compose a program it crashes almost everytime I change, something and run it. This does not happen on windows. Help! [08:41] ah ok === jongbergs is now known as Guest15091 [08:41] thank you fahadsadah [08:41] freaky[t]: and the one in the repos is a little out of date. I compiled latest from source [08:41] samb: #python [08:41] !repeat | samb [08:41] samb: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [08:41] rashed2020: grub starts and it sends a list of ubuntu kernels, and I need select it manually [08:41] pepee: You're welceom [08:41] *welcome [08:42] i am sorry [08:42] thanks, bye!

Just rearrange them in the order you want. [08:43] can i get help on WINE here [08:43] toffan: depends on the exact problem [08:43] Dr_Willis, I agree, and I will. [08:43] !ssh | greezmunkey [08:43] greezmunkey: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage.

[08:44] toffan: All i can say is GOOD LUCK with that. :) You may want to check #wine and the wine appdatabase [08:44] !appdb | toffan [08:44] toffan: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [08:44] could you please help me on this Dr_Willis? [08:45] the dotnet app is here at: http://www.sharekhan.com/tradetiger/setupnew.html [08:45] toffan: ive pretty much helped as much as i can. I dont run dotnet stuff in wine. It may not evven be doable at this time. depending on the app [08:45] Dr_Willis, i mean, is it better than xchat? [08:45] toffan: check #wine and the wine app database [08:45] Dr_Willis, i mean irssi sorry ... is weechat better than irssi? [08:45] freaky[t]: depends on your needs. It does what i need. and i like many of its features [08:45] sure Dr_Willis and thank you verymuch for your help! [08:46] Dr_Willis, the ssh key thing is what I need to get my head around, thanks for the pointers :) [08:46] freaky[t]: same for irssi. weechat has features I like that are not in irssi [08:46] got a quick question--how do I change the # of desktops in ubuntu karmic?

Anyway. I have a question. Can someone please tell me if I should trust palimpsest (61 bad blocks) or the output of sudo badblocks /dev/sdb which says 0 bad blocks. [09:12] yeah, I don't know why I'm up, haha. actually, that's probably my signal to stop working. cheers [09:12] britta: i would keep backups of the drive in question. the 2 tools are reporting different things however (from my research) [09:12] Dr_Willis: in other words you would advise me to buy a new drive? [09:12] how can i tell if my ubuntu adapter is working without trying to connect a device to it? [09:12] britta: one is the SMART tools shoding the info the drive reports. - badblocks is not reading those same 'blocks' becuase the drive controller is making he drive skip over them [09:13] Infin1ty: ubuntu adapter? [09:13] britta: its always good to have backups. But i have a 1.5 tb drive with a few bad blocks from palimset - that i am still using [09:13] britta: the seagate tools says its ok. but i dont keep critical things on it. [09:13] Dr_Willis: it's a bad pamipsest day for me. My back-up drive also reports bad blocks. [09:13] Ubuntu recognizes my sound card, but the input doesn't work. I need it to work :| [09:14] britta: read the info carefully. its the smart monitoring infothats proberly just reporting a # and pamipest is just saying that # is too high [09:14] seanj, the input as in microphone? [09:14] tenmuzni9: yes... it has a combination line-in/mic... neither function works [09:14] Dr_Willis: thank you :o) [09:15] britta: it may work fine for Years.. then again.. a brand new drive could die in a matter of days. [09:15] britta: drives are the weakest link. [09:15] seanj, are you sure that you are using the correct mixerI? [09:15] syslog keeps reporting stuff about [UFW Block] IN=wlan0 PROTO=UDP... any idea why? [09:15] tenmuzni9: the sound preferences say it's a SB X-Fi, with "1 Output/1 Input" [09:16] Dr_Willis: yes, been there too. You mentioned a seagate tool. Will this work on a maxtor drive? I only seem to be able to find tools for windows. [09:16] tenmuzni9: I messed with the volume sliders and there is no sound. [09:16] seanj, ugh x-fi are trouble. If your using gnome open up a terminal and type gnome-volume-control [09:16] I just signed in here to test IRC through Empathy, since it seems to be working pretty well, maybe someone can point me on where to find help getting my HP Webcam working with Skype? [09:16] kfries6, is it working with cheese [09:16] britta: i used the tools under windows. Got mine at the seagate site. it may work for other drives. not seen a tool just for linux [09:16] britta: it ran on windows on my 1.5 tb drive for like .. 2 days :) then said it was ok [09:16] tenmuzni9: no sound. [09:16] Didn't try cheese, but did try ekiga, and it sorta works, but badly [09:17] my sound system is not working here [09:17] seanj, you should see a list of devices at the top, one of them probably says "such and such - capture" [09:17] while watching youtube [09:17] Dr_Willis: thanks, again. I crashed my xp partition, and won't reinstall till I know the drive is ok - or not. so catch 22 :) [09:17] tenmuzni9: You mean under "Input" tab? [09:18] seanj, no, there should be "Devices:" and a list of devices you can choose from [09:18] does virtualbox play .vmdk [09:18] om26er, yes [09:18] tenmuzni9, thanx [09:18] tenmuzni9: there is only one device... "SB X-Fi" [09:19] we don't need antivirus in linux? because it's secure? because there's too few viruses for Linux? because of both? what percentage for each one then? [09:19] hey guys, I cannot seem to find the ubuntu netbook remix IMG file. I have the ISO file but want to write an img to a flash drive to boot directly [09:19] RenatoSilva: yes :) [09:19] Dr_Willis: yes for which [09:19] RenatoSilva: both [09:19] theres few because its more secure... [09:20] Dr_Willis: percentage then [09:20] I can't compile the official driver for my sound card, either. [09:20] seanj, a long while ago I had to compile a more recent versino of alsa to get my creative card to work [09:20] RenatoSilva: go find any current viruses out for linux.. [09:20] !bugs [09:20] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [09:20] Dr_Willis: percentage [09:20] Linux does not spread viruses easily because users don't run with elevated privledges like they do in Windows, making viruses very difficult to spread [09:20] home/seanj/Sources/XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00/xfi.c:14:26: error: sound/driver.h: No such file or directory [09:20] RenatoSilva: roll some dice.. or use google.. im not a vulcan :) [09:21] here is my xorg.conf and i cannot set resolutions to 1280x1024 but can set 1378x768 plz help http://pastebin.org/55724 [09:21] kfries6: elevated privileges? only if windows users want [09:21] Dr_Willis: you don't know, ok [09:21] OK, I installed cheese, and it says it can't find my camera, but ekiga and skype do, but the camera looks like crap [09:21] tenmuzni9: How do I get alsa? [09:21] RenatoSilva: i dont even know of any 'current' viruses out for linux. Theres a few explots.. but thats not the same as a virus [09:21] seanj, you should already have it, but you can google for the latest version [09:21] RenatoSilva: you can not do many critical tasks without elevated privledges in Windows [09:22] Okay, thanks tenmuzni9. [09:22] kfries6: any critical task should require such privileges, as it does in Linux [09:22] ive had too many non-critical tasks in windows require privileges.. but vista was a little better in that area [09:23] and worse in other areas [09:23] Dr_Willis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ClamTK3.08.jpg [09:23] kfries6: ^ [09:23] Yes, but it is easier to switch to elevated privs in Linux, not so easy in Windows, so users generally run full time with these privs, and this is the first step to expoitation [09:23] hello. I tried to use a Canon Lide 80 scanner with Ubuntu, but there seems to be no way doing that. Or is there? [09:23] well UAC is bad joke in windows [09:23] lets not do a windows linux security contest... [09:23] tenmuzni9: there's like 8 different programs here, including "alsa-driver", "alsa-lib" .. do I need them all? [09:23] kfries6: huh? not so easy in windows? what? [09:24] No sudo like capabilities, so users run in Power User mode [09:24] kfries6: right click > run as > admin? [09:24] seanj, I haven't compiled alsa in a while, im sure that there is a guide though, google compile alsa from source ubuntu [09:24] when we are talking using it and comparing to more simpler sudo, where you input password once and its done vs. windows 3click yes i can do this , and i want to do this querys [09:24] Okay. [09:25] Any idea why I can't compile the Creative Labs driver? [09:25] Only for running certain programs, that does not always work in Windows, but tenmuzni9 is right, this is not a Windows forum [09:25] simplexio: dont frget the last 'are you really really really sure, you want to do this?' [09:25] seanj, i would try googling your specific sound card + ubuntu too [09:25] Please take the Windows discussion to offtopic [09:25] Dr_Willis: yeh. and it dosent ask password once, i think [09:26] ardchoille: we arent talkinf about windows, we are talking howto design usable GUI :) [09:26] simplexio: they need a tool that keeps track of the # of times that UAC dialog pops up. :) [09:27] seanj, your x-fi's not working? [09:27] seanj, ubuntu ver? [09:27] no kostkon .. not entirely. I need line-in/mic to work and it doesn't. Using Ubuntu 9.10 [09:27] I was able to compile th official driver on Slackware and Mandriva, but I can't on Ubuntu. [09:27] Simplexio: the windows conversation was me letting some flamer bait me into Windows vs Linux, but I cut it off actually before that message came through [09:27] ps.wrd60027 [09:27] seanj, you don't need to === red_ is now known as wredny [09:28] seanj, you are already using it [09:28] seanj, it;s in the kernel [09:28] kostkon: why doesn't line-in work, then... [09:28] I think I have not found my answer here, it's technical and some are being tendencious [09:28] Where would one find the IMG for netbook remix? All I can find is the ISO and I am losing my mind [09:28] seanj, then check your hardware volume levels [09:28] seanj, install gnome-alsamixer [09:28] RenatoSilva, what exactly is your question? [09:29] tenmuzni9: read above [09:29] RenatoSilva, no [09:29] or go to next topic [09:29] i cannot login to X is edited the xorg file how can i restore it [09:29] am using nvidia' [09:29] kostkon: I unmuted and increased line-in volume with gnome-alsamixer.. still no sound at all [09:30] hmm.. my sound from vboxed 9.10 isnt working, but it works on login screen [09:30] om26er: my systems can start up X with out any xorg.conf, there may be old backups in /etc/X11/ [09:30] seanj, hmm [09:30] om26er, most settings aren't in the xorg file anymore, but to get a fresh copy run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [09:30] om26er: I had all kinds of trouble with my nvidia card when I clean installed Karmic, try using Ctrl-Alt +/- to temporarily adjust your resolution and see if that helps [09:30] seanj, how do you test it? [09:31] kostkon: I have a PS3 running right now through line-in [09:31] I just keep a backup of my old xorg.conf from my old installs :) for my nvidia cards [09:31] seanj, and what app do you use to get the sound coming from line-in [09:31] how to resume an installation stopped accidently by ctrl+z in Konsole ? [09:31] sam_sam: try the 'fg' 'bg' cvommands [09:31] how do I customize the login screen for xubuntu 9.10 ? [09:32] kostkon: I'm not using any app... I'm just trying to get sound through the speakers... it worked fine 30 minutes ago with Windows. [09:32] I believe its gdm 2 [09:32] k i will try [09:32] thank u [09:32] seanj, then, go to your sound prefs [09:32] worked :) [09:32] anom01y, I don't think that you can customize the new gdm very much, try something like slim [09:32] anom01y: You can change the wallpaper it uses in the 'xsplash' directory [09:32] ok cool [09:32] anom01y: theres a unsupported called 'epidermis' that can tweak it a little bit also [09:33] kostkon: I've already been through all the settings in gnome-volume-control and gnome-alsamixer .. .they don't work. [09:33] seanj, hmm [09:33] hi all [09:33] anom01y: or you go hard core and install the old gdm. [09:33] tenmuzni9, that did not work [09:33] kostkon: the official driver worked for me on other distros, but it won't compile on this Ubuntu. [09:33] seanj, try to enable/disable any switches you may have in gnome-alsamixer [09:33] kostkon, he probably needs to compile the latest version of alsa from source [09:33] tenmuzni9, ok [09:33] im using kmess under ubuntu...how to get contact list font bigger? [09:34] the wallpaper is good enough for now, [09:34] seanj, then you could install a package that provides the backported alsa, w8. it may make a difference [09:34] om26er, are you just getting a black screen? [09:34] Dr_Willis, where is this xsplash folder ? === aaron11 is now known as Guest27560 [09:34] anom01y: use 'locate xsplash' - /usr/somthing :) [09:34] I know this is OT, but I had a constant stream of about 40kb/s up and another 40kb/s down between my PC and my router. Im trying to work out whats causing this, got any ideas? [09:34] Why do I get an error when I try to compile the driver from Creative Labs? [09:34] /usr/share/images/xsplash [09:35] seanj, try installing "linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic" and then reboot [09:35] okay thanks [09:35] tenmuzni9, X don't start just cli mode [09:35] What should I use to achieve mounting a local FTP endpoint outside my Ubuntu VM as a filesystem in my Ubuntu VM? [09:36] om26er, which drivers are you using? [09:36] ftpfs is terribly outdated it seems [09:36] I saw some post from 2006 about lufs or something like that [09:36] tenmuzni9, nvidia 185 [09:36] But that's old, too, I guess [09:36] om26er, for which card? [09:36] binrapt: check the other 'fuse' filesystems. [09:36] !info ftpfs [09:36] Package ftpfs does not exist in karmic [09:37] tenmuzni9, 7100 build-in [09:37] tenmuzni9, was working fine [09:37] tenmuzni9, unless i edited it [09:37] gnome can mount ftp sites I recall. [09:37] om26er I run that same combo on a 7600 [09:37] om26er, did you change something right before it stopped working? [09:37] OM26er which Ubuntu? [09:37] Dr_Willis, is there a way to customize bootsplash theme ? [09:38] I think mine is broke [09:38] where it says 'xubuntu' and has the scrolling bar [09:38] anom01y: xsplash is changeable via the stuff in that xplash dir. or using the epidermis tool. the initial ubuntu white logo... noidea. [09:38] kostkon: Rebooted. Chcked the volume level in the mixer... the little meter is fluctuating like it's getting input, but there is still no sound coming out of the speakers. [09:38] tenmuzni9, yes i edited this line Option "metamodes" "1024x768_60 +0+0 1024x768 +0+0" [09:38] is there ubuntu german chat? [09:38] hi all [09:38] kostkon: The Ubuntu start-up sound played, though. [09:38] glick: #ubuntu-de [09:39] I have installed linux and now I have 4 partitions boot, swap, root, home, 3 of them is primary partitions and its says my hd can only have 3 primary partitions when installing windows xp I need windows xp also to dual boot when playing games. What to do? [09:39] om26er, and did you try just removing that line? [09:39] tenmuzni9, yes [09:39] any body know about this (text/html decoder ) ?? [09:39] any body know about this (text/html decoder ) ?? [09:39] georgij_: delete ubuntu - re-install it and use 3 primary partition, a logical partition and multiple sub logical partitions [09:39] SuBsAm: perhaps ask a better question. [09:39] seanj, that's something i suppose. eh, since every sound passes trhrough pulse in ubuntu [09:39] lol Dr willis [09:39] om26er, and did you restart after? [09:39] georgij_: save 1 primary partition (your first one) for windows [09:39] ikonia: I am not using ubuntu #linux isnt working [09:40] Dr_Willis look with me ? [09:40] georgij_: sorry - this channel is for ubuntu support only [09:40] I cant reinstall this distro of linux [09:40] This is very annoying. My sound card is crippled in Ubuntu, and it won't let me use the official driver. [09:40] tenmuzni9, yes i did [09:40] ... [09:40] thank ikonia [09:40] I have 2pcs connected with serial/com/modem null cable. how can i verify that the connection works since i'm having problem debugging kernel remotely [09:40] SuBsAm: i dont have the slightest CLUE what you are even talking about. [09:40] seanj, it may not be a driver prob anymore. check again your sound prefs [09:40] Its the same ubuntu is a distro of linux is it not? [09:40] Dr_Willis when i try to watch a film the program ask me about this [09:40] kostkon: I've already checked about a dozen times. [09:40] I am just wondering how to make a primary partition a normal partition [09:40] so I can go on and install windows [09:40] georgij_: this is for Ubuntu support only, try ##linux as I've not seen you ask anything in there [09:40] seanj, ok :/ [09:40] om26er, did you try --<+> and --<-> to change resolutions to see if that helped? [09:41] kostkon: line-in is unmuted, and the level is close to 100%.. there is only one device listed so it's selected [09:41] Dr_Willis now u have [09:41] om26er, well i suppose you could try completele removing the driver package and reinstall/reconfigure [09:41] Dr_Willis could u answar me [09:41] ikonia: I cant enter ##linux for some reason [09:41] tenmuzni9, ok i'll do that [09:41] SuBsAm: try giving some more dtailas as like 'what' is even asking this, im having to guess.. that it has somthing to do with wathing some sort of video? [09:41] om26er, but what im thinking [09:41] georgij_: sorry - this channel is only for ubuntu discussion [09:41] ok [09:41] bye [09:41] om26er, is that it is caught in some resolution or refresh rate that your monitor or card can't handle [09:42] SubSam just wait someone will answer u :) [09:42] tenmuzni9, I tried that with my video problems, and it never worked, its like it stores a config somewhere [09:42] maybe try setting a couple of different custom resolutions in your xorg file [09:42] I'll just install a new alsa, that should fix it, right? [09:42] seanj, ah, in gnome-alsamixer, did you unmute the output of all your inputs? [09:42] kostkon: I'm not sure.. let me check. [09:42] tenmuzni9, no. i don't think so [09:42] i'm having trouble with gyache [09:42] kfries6, you have to do more than just remove the package [09:42] what is this (text/html decoder ) [09:42] ? [09:42] hey everybody [09:43] Dr_Willis what is this (text/html decoder ) ? [09:43] kostkon: I checked the "rec" box in gnome-alsamixer... now the sound works. [09:43] SuBsAm: no idea. [09:43] Dr_Willis is this a package ? [09:43] kostkon: As soon as I calm down I'll thank you prefusely. [09:43] Thanks!! [09:43] SuBsAm: not a package name that ive ever heard of. [09:43] tenmuzni9, your right, I needed to use the keystrokes I keep suggesting to get the res and timing right [09:43] seanj, you mean it works? [09:43] now* [09:43] yes kostkon ... in gnome-alasmixer... the record button had to be checked. [09:43] ok [09:43] SuBsAm: what prograam are you using. what are you doing with it exactly? [09:43] I upgraded my amd64 system from jaunty to karmic, and now flash won't work or even show that it's installed in firefox, neither with the installer package nor with the 64 bit alpha downloaded from adobe.com. What could be wrong? [09:43] Dr_Willis from where can i download it ? [09:43] seanj, ok :) [09:44] the bummer there is, the default mixer doesn't have a way to make line-in work.. but hey, it worked for me so that's a start [09:44] Dr_Willis movie player [09:44] where is package sun-java-bin ? while installing ubuntu it installs yes ? so it should be in CD yes ? [09:44] Dr_Willis the normal pro in ubuntu [09:44] seanj, yeah, they'll have to put and "advanced" button in the new sound prefs [09:44] Ugh, making any changes to line-in in the regular mixer mutes line-in again! [09:44] yes good idea kostkon [09:44] Dr_Willis is this some thing like codac in win [09:44] Dr_Willis ? [09:44] Default mixer is broken :| [09:45] SuBsAm: and what video are you watching?? [09:45] and how to know whether java script is installed or not on FF ? [09:45] seanj, that will allow access to the hardware volumes using for example gnome-alsamier, or something similar [09:45] seanj, ive ran into all kinsd of problems like that with creative cards, random settings in random places [09:45] Dr_Willis, that epidermis program is really cool [09:45] seanj, yeah, i hope they'll do it [09:45] thanks for that [09:45] SuBsAm, is this an apple trailer from apple.com [09:45] :( [09:45] https://launchpad.net/epidermis/+download [09:45] SuBsAm: best bet. use vlc, or mplayer to watch videos. install the prope w32codecs package [09:45] SuBsAm, I recomend VLC from video lan [09:45] Dr_Willis (.rmvb) [09:46] Well thanks kostkon and tenmuzni9 ... if someone else has X-Fi problems just holler lol [09:46] SuBsAm: i watch rmvb in mplayer and vlc all the time [09:46] seanj, :) [09:46] Hello, I have 5 partitions: Boot, Swap, Root, Home, Unallocated Partition.

[09:52] GobiTheGoblin: those external laptop 'fan pads' are handy [09:52] I need a way to hit it to 100% when I know I going to use it [09:53] Dr_Willis: fan pads? :D I was hoping to do something with keypad :P [09:53] GobiTheGoblin: youmean a way to 'crank it to 100%' befor you need it. [09:53] infix: iptables logging [09:53] Dr willis , ubottu and others u guys are so helpful m i hope u are not bots :D [09:53] Dr_Willis: You read my mind =) [09:54] sam_sam: only my mechnic knows for sure [09:54] * Dr_Willis for one Welcoms our new skynet overlords [09:54] god bless u all :) [09:54] sam_sam, God bless you too. [09:54] *does not compute* [09:54] I see the blue screen. [09:55] I really like the new colour scheme in Ubuntu 9.10 [09:56] I know it's not hugely different from before, but it's darker and les gaudy [09:56] while ubuntu installs from a CD , which package does it use to install java ? sun-java-bin is not in CD [09:56] http://packages.medibuntu.org/ [09:57] which package ? [09:57] I need to move some files to system directory.. can I do that with nautilus? [09:58] seanj: yea start it from terminal with sudo nautilus [09:58] seanj , yes [09:58] ubottu, java [09:58] or gksu nautilus [09:58] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [09:58] can someone please tell me how i can get the latest ati display drivers for 9.04? [09:58] Dr_Willis http://packages.medibuntu.org/ [09:58] Okay, thank you. [09:58] alabd, see what the bot posted a few lines up [09:58] SuBsAm, w32codecs [09:58] Dr_Willis which package ? [09:58] GobiTheGoblin: Best to use gksudo for gui apps and reserve sudo for cli only [09:58] SuBsAm: w32codecs [09:58] where ? [09:59] i can't find it in the web [09:59] SuBsAm: enable the medibuntu repository and use the package manager tool [09:59] ardchoille: I'll keep that in mind, thx =) [09:59] !gksudo [09:59] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [09:59] gksudo it is, then. [09:59] enul, for me my ubuntu searched appropriate driver :D [09:59] This is going more smoothly than I expected. [09:59] Madpilot: there is not sun-java6-jre in CD [09:59] enable from where ? [09:59] I hope it doesn't all come crashing down :/ [09:59] alabd, no, I don't think there is. Get it from the repositories [09:59] sam how did you manage that? [10:00] SuBsAm: you follow the directions they give and add teh medibuntu repository to the list of your repositories [10:00] Madpilot: question is that so from where CD install java while it is installing ubuntu [10:00] ok [10:00] i will try [10:00] seanj, depends on what u do.

[10:03] gotta love confuseing names [10:04] anom01y: use a different login manager other then GDM perhaps [10:04] I even had to set up thermal monitors to launch panel so I know when to stop painting.. this is getting my nerves, so to speak. :P [10:04] alabd, it's there by default, Firefox and other browsers have it. there is no such thing as Sun javascript, and the JRE has nothing to do with javascript [10:04] alabd: you don't install javascript, it's interpreted by your web browser [10:04] the fan scaling works, but too late [10:04] anom01y: dependong on what you mean by 'remove gnome from the login manager' [10:04] and too little [10:05] Hello, I replaced my Fedora installation with Ubuntu 9.10 and created a user already existing in home; now when logging I get a blank Desktop Wallpaper, but no menu and nothing.

[10:09] I was hoping to get at least a few games working in Ubuntu, but this doesn't look very good. Where can I get libstdc++5 ? [10:09] DocMAX, there isn't one. if you find something, let me now [10:09] Dr_willis, thanks [10:09] fashion girl says in ubuntu terms "like omg god those icons where sooo 2006" [10:09] seanj: depends on the games.. any game needing that - may be a bit on the old side. [10:09] Dr_Willis, I think I found it /etc/share/xsession [10:09] DocMAX, i mena 100% replacement [10:09] Dr_Willis: it's ut2004.

[10:11] DocMAX: driver [10:11] DocMAX: because the wireles card makers dont fully support linux [10:12] What the hell, there's nothing here about libstdc++ [10:12] Does this mean I can't play any of my games? [10:12] seanj: what? [10:12] im on a dell inspiron with the intel 945GM graphics card and just upgraded to 9.10 and can't get flash to play nice, or smooth scroll FF, or even smooth drag windows [10:12] yo yo yo [10:12] seanj: 5+ yr old games compiled to use old old versions of libs - can be a challange [10:12] ut2004 needs libstdc++5 but it's not in the repositories... [10:12] Dr_Willis: is wireless-n supported? [10:12] this has happened everytime i upgrade fresh since 8.something but i can't for the life of me remember how i fixed it [10:13] DocMAX: for some cards - i imagine it is [10:13] DocMAX: If you are using Ubuntu 9.10, you might be experiencing a bug. See if http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/567-internet-connexion-is-very-slow-on-karmic-koala-solution- fixes your problem [10:13] i already tried reverting the driver [10:13] is it possible to easily convert from Lilo to Grub? [10:13] mikeyfbi: tried renaming /home/$USER/.mozilla and rerunning FF? [10:13] sidewalk: its possible.. but 'easy' perhaps not [10:13] ActionParsnip29, not just a FF issue :( [10:13] not just "grub-install"? :-) [10:14] ActionParsnip29, also with dragging windows, and i can't enable desktop effects (i dont want too, but it's the telltale sign i've always got) [10:14] I knew this wouldn't work out. [10:14] i have intel 4965 agn chipset [10:14] sidewalk: grub and grub2 are also different.. its worth while learning how bootloaders work. [10:14] and wlan performance is very POOR [10:14] i compared the same video streams on windows [10:15] streams come from an samba server [10:15] ActionParsnip29, but i'll try that to see if it fixes the flash [10:15] Package libstdc++5 is not available, but is referred to by another package. [10:15] dr willis how can i learn about bootloaders .. at one place ? [10:15] mikeyfbi: try removing the driver, then reinstall it. reboot in between so you are using vesa driver [10:15] anyone know how to get the gnome panel back up? [10:15] hi all [10:15] !panelfix [10:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about panelfix [10:15] ActionParsnip29, ok will do ... do you also have the intel chip? or just experience? ;) [10:15] !fixpanels [10:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about fixpanels [10:15] sam_sam: start with the grub homepage.. Im suprised you are even using LILO. [10:16] after I get connected to my ISP the DNS resolving doesn't work :( [10:16] mikeyfbi: i hate intel chips, it just makes sense to me [10:16] no i use grub but dont know it :( [10:16] after I get connected to my ISP the DNS resolving VERY OFTEN doesn't work :( [10:16] is not getlibs ackage in ubuntu REp ?

[10:17] ActionParsnip29, why does that work? [10:18] !resetpanels | enul [10:18] enul: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [10:18] mikeyfbi: removes the settings for the driver, then gives you defaults. [10:18] alabd: getlibs? [10:18] dr_willis: thanks [10:18] thanks [10:18] ActionParsnip29, default video driver? or default flash plugin [10:18] i installed Ubuntu alternate, and then ran apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, after that the machine didnt start [10:19] yes getlibs app [10:19] installed ubuntu-desktop because i needed the raid support [10:19] mikeyfbi: default settings for the video driver [10:19] uh, alternate because i needed raid support [10:19] that actually worked thanks :) [10:19] When I click on the mounted CD icon, there are no files. [10:19] ActionParsnip29, so when would it have changed from 'default' ... ? isn't default 'default' for a reason? [10:20] ActionParsnip29, lol, srry for the questions, but i like to try and understand instead of just do :) [10:20] alabd: getlibs app? newer heard what it should do ? [10:20] mikeyfbi; maybe the settings for the old carried over and borked the new, you now have the defaults for the new driver [10:21] simplexio: getlibs /usr/bin/gyachi [10:21] So I guess Ubuntu isn't ideal for a computer gamer. [10:21] Hi Everyone [10:21] ActionParsnip29, ok well i'll try the driver thing ... hey do you have paypal? i'd like to buy you a 'beer' for your help because this has been driving me nuts [10:21] anyone know a good vista like sidebar?

[10:21] I am unable to find equalizer [10:22] alabd: and that does ? , get libs what gyachi uses, or just prints whats it wants [10:22] They work on Windows, I wish Ubuntu had the same backward compatibility.

[10:22] man this client is annoying [10:22] prints whats it wants simplexio [10:23] Linux has undergone 10x the changes that windows has in the last 5+ years.. :) [10:23] Dr_Willis: getlibs package ? [10:23] alabd: never heard ofit. [10:23] Yeah, no doubt. Windows is stale and bloated. [10:23] alabd: it can be used to see what deps a programme needs [10:24] seanj: thers a dozen free quake3 based games out . and quakelive does work in linux. [10:24] Yes! Quake Live is good. [10:24] and a great many games work via wine very well. [10:24] omg... my CD drive is running so slow.

I used to have installed server kernel compiled with PAE so that i can see all my RAM. Now in 9.10, server kernel or the other pae kernel do not work. After the white ubuntu logo, in both cases, the screen goes into text mode and it starts blinking showing me the prompt at the point where i have to enter my login and pass. However, when being there, the keyboard is not responsive so i have to pre [10:35] ss multiple time a key in order for it to appear. Thus i had no luck entering my pass so that i could see what happens next. The blinking seems to me like an endless loop. The HD keeps blinking along with the screen!

[10:37] I cant use an menu [10:37] mikeyfbi: i cant see everything [10:37] seanj, you're using mesa for cpu 3D accerlation instead of using your graphics cards' drivers [10:37] naftilos76, Intel Quad 9550 is 64-bit I think [10:37] paschu, i think you should try to uninstall it, and reinstall it [10:37] seanj: its a 5 yr old game.. and proberly doing some improper system calls perhaps. [10:37] iKernel: if i'm correct no - this is what uname -r shows: 2.6.31-14-generic . This kernel works fine but this: 2.6.31-14-generic-pae [10:38] iKernel: I'm using binary nvidia driver from repo [10:38] Dr_Willis: it works fine on Slackware... [10:38] seanj, did you make sure you enabled the driver then restart your system? [10:38] yes iKernel [10:38] serengeti - how can i tell the difference? does /proc contain any info? [10:38] seanj, sorry, not sure [10:38] seanj: and slackware is proberly not using the same version of X or alsa/pulse audio as ubuntu [10:38] !netsplit [10:38] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit === Monocian_ is now known as Monocian [10:39] seanj: could also be nvidia driver version differance issues [10:39] naftilos76, there's info in /proc/cpu that will tell you whether your cpu is 64-bit or not [10:39] naftilos76, it's in your processor's specs: http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLAWQ [10:39] Sure a lot more complications than my previous system [10:39] yes yes - let me see that [10:39] naftilos76, it has Intel® EM64T in supported features [10:40] vak_: 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222 [10:40] vak_; opendns servers ;-) [10:40] gotta love opendns.. except for how they grab your search site.. [10:40] naftilos76, does your cpu have Intel Virtualization Technology? if not, then I don't see why you're running a pae kernel [10:41] dr_willis: run your own dns, faster [10:41] how can i install this (text/html decoder) ? [10:41] serengeti - so? does that mean that i should be using 64bit version? [10:41] naftilos76, I think so :) [10:41] All the scenery in Doom 3 is black. [10:42] seanj: tweak settings [10:42] seanj: i recall doom3 being so dark on my windows machines.. i had to up the brightness :) [10:42] seanj, sounding a lot like you're having driver issues [10:42] iKernel - i'm almost sure that it has but i have seen that using 2.6.31-14-generic my RAM appears as 3GB! [10:42] I can't enable my sound card [10:42] how can i install codac ? [10:42] ActionParsnip28: this is my xorg.conf http://pastebin.org/55744 im trying to get 1280*1024 and changed the file but no effect what should i do [10:42] SuBsAm: you still havent installed the w32codecs from medibuntu yet? [10:42] naftilos76, you need to use a 64 bit kernel to support 4gb+ ram [10:42] Driver is 185 series... worked fine on Windows. [10:42] naftilos76, all the Intel quads support 64 bit as far as I know, they're basically two core 2s "glued" together [10:42] skbera: It seems that the equalizer is not implemented in the 0.3.0.x branch, but it has been implemented in 0.3.1. If you are adventurous enough you might want to try to install that. [10:43] naftilos: it will, thats all 32bit can use (without PAE) [10:43] g [10:43] medibuntu i didn't under stand any thing from this site [10:43] Maybe Nexuiz will work better. [10:43] oh ... [10:43] skbera: Or you could just downgrade to the 0.2 branch. [10:43] Hi, is there a package that provides ie6 and maybe ie7 for running on jaunty? [10:43] SuBsAm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu --> 'This command should be run in the Terminal (Applications → Accessories → Terminal): ' --> cut and paste that command...... [10:44] hi all, i'm going crazy, i've deleted the top bar, what's the name of the messenger applet???? [10:44] i made it [10:44] iKernel - back in ubuntu 8.10 & 9.04 i used server versions kernel without any problems and i could see my ram as 4GB! [10:44] and nothing did [10:44] can't find it in "add a applet" menu [10:44] alex88: Indicator Applet? [10:44] SuBsAm: then you install the packages you want [10:44] Thanks a lot. Let me try with 0.3.1 first ... :) [10:44] is there a Songbird experto here? [10:44] khensthoth: that one controlling pidgin, empathy ecc, how can i start it? [10:44] naftilos76, because you were either running a pae kernel or a 64bit kernel :o) [10:44] how ? [10:44] Songbird doesn't leave icon in panel? [10:45] naftilos76, so. PAE kernel isn't working, and generic kernel won't go over 3gb of ram. my suggestion to you is to install a 64-bit kernel, which will support all of your 4 gigs of ram without the need for PAE [10:45] SuBsAm: that same URL shows you the proper command.... sudo apt-get install w32codecs [10:45] is there a #songbird room? [10:45] what means those warnings? "(WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x23" it goes from 0x23 to 0x32 [10:45] SuBsAm: all i am doing is cut/pasteing the info that site gives [10:45] alex88: *should* be in the list. When you search for Indicator Applet in the "Add to Panel" list doesn't it come up? [10:45] naftilos76, plus, the 64 bit kernel will make full use of your cpu's 64 bit architecture... so it should run a little faster :) [10:45] iKernel - the question is : is the 64bit version suitable for my cpu? [10:46] Someone know a package that provides ie6 and maybe ie7 for running on jaunty safely? [10:46] khensthoth: damn, found it.. thank you man [10:46] naftilos76, yes, because your cpu is a 64bit cpu [10:46] Hey I just burned ubuntu9.10 iso but having trouble booting the cd, theres just a _ at the top of the screen, will not load [10:46] alex88: No problem :) [10:46] If I buy Linux-supported games, I can expect them to stop working in 4 years? [10:46] iKernel - ok thanks [10:46] naftilos76, no problem [10:46] seanj, no [10:47] seanj: Im suprised any comercvial games last more then 4 years [10:47] this is my xorg.conf http://pastebin.org/55744 im trying to get 1280*1024 and changed the file but no effect what should i do [10:47] E: Package w32codecs has no installation candidate [10:47] anyone ? [10:47] seanj: steam has had to remove several games due to lack of support in newer windows releases [10:47] noah22, give it time [10:47] seanj: and of courst there may be updates at the game sites. [10:48] Didn't know that. I have a ton of old games, and all of them work on the newer, crappier Windows releases. [10:48] Dr_Willis e: Package w32codecs has no installation candidate [10:48] I only want to play half a dozen games that I bought, that have Linux binaries, but that's not working out. [10:48] I'm a gamer, so if they don't work I can't use Ubuntu. [10:48] SuBsAm: you did a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' then try again [10:49] khensthoth: last thing, i have cairo dock,from some days it shows an app running, i think it uses the desktop, but can't find it, it seems that it has no window..but there is its icon in the bar [10:49] seanj: if you are a 'gamer' and thats your core thing.. stick to windows then. [10:49] seanj: of course a hard core 'gamer' isent normally playing 4+ yr old games. either. [10:49] :/ [10:49] seanj, or make sure you get a cpu which supports hardware virtualization and wait till xen's vga passthrough code matures a bit [10:50] alex88: I am not familiar with cairo dock at all, ask around here. :) [10:50] seanj: dont expect ubuntu or linux to test against every old comercial (and perhaps baddly written tobegin with) game out there. [10:50] seanj, then you can set up a windows guest running under linux and play your favourite windows games under windows [10:50] I recall Unreal3 having major issues when it was released for linux even. [10:50] khensthoth: i'll try better myself, i also can't kill is.. :S btw, thank again for help [10:51] how do I install a simple gui for ubuntu server? [10:51] I'm trying not to get mad. [10:51] alex88: No worries. [10:51] Why can't this just work? [10:51] seanj, alternatively, you could try using wine (free), codeweavers (costs, designed for desktop applications but works with some games) or cedega (costs, works with many windows games) [10:51] seanj: because computers, and os's are complex. and games are often very complex [10:51] Zhane: How about webmin? http://www.webmin.com/ [10:51] Yeah.. [10:52] khensthoth: any thing like gnome? [10:52] Zhane: you mean install a tool to admin the server? or do you want X on the server? [10:52] Wine and its derivatives don't seem to work too well for me. [10:52] X on server [10:52] Zhane: you can install X and a window manager if you want [10:52] hmm [10:52] seanj: i have had great success with wine. It just depends on the game [10:52] Dr_Willis: which is? [10:52] I thought I had an alternative to Windows :/ [10:52] Zhane, you want a simple gui, I highly reccommend xfce [10:52] Zhane: if you want gnome use 'ubuntu-desktop' but thats overkill [10:52] seanj, mind you, none of those will work if your nvidia drivers aren't working [10:52] It does depend on the game.. in my case most of my games don't work. [10:52] this is my xorg.conf http://pastebin.org/55744 im trying to get 1280*1024 and changed the file but no effect what should i do [10:53] hi all! can anybody help me with static ip configuration?^ [10:53] Zhane: or install icewm, or some opther light window manager [10:53] I get this error message trying to configure my brother printer--> There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'server-error-internal-error'. [10:53] fighter1, does your graphics card support 1280*1024 resolution? [10:53] iKernel: I've used the same driver version on Windows... it's annoying that it's not working on Ubuntu, and that a faulty driver is distributed with Ubuntu. [10:53] hmm which other window manager other than icewm and xfce? [10:53] iKernel: ya it does and its ok on winXP [10:54] I have a question related to swapping touchpad buttons in ubuntu 9.10 ... gnome-control-center doesn't work. _After_ starting up GNOME, the command xinput set-button-map "AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad" 3 2 1 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 does the trick, but how can I execute this automatically during the startup sequence? [10:54] seanj: the nvidia drivers are controlled by nvidia - not ubuntu. we just have packages for them - to make installing them easier. [10:54] Related question: How do I name a .fdi file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy , so that it is found at the right time in the startup sequence? [10:54] Zhane: dozens of them. [10:54] seanj, works fine for me [10:54] Why distribute them if they don't work? [10:54] seanj: your logic is faulty. [10:54] Option "metamodes" "1280x1024-60 +0+0; 1280x1024 +0+0" try changing that to Option "metamodes" "1280x1024-60 +0+0" [10:54] fighter1,^^ [10:54] Why give someone broken software? That's sabotage. [10:54] all 3 of my nvidia machines work fine. [10:55] iKernel: ok lets see [10:55] Oh, so it's my fault. Thanks. [10:55] Figured that was coming. [10:55] Zhane: metacity, if it's just a window manager you want. Or refer to http://xwinman.org/ [10:55] !brother [10:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about brother [10:55] hi!!!i downloaded a movie of 698 mb through bit torrent client. but when i run it it just goes for 5 sec...can anyone help [10:55] seanj: its most likely due to bad coding of the orignal game.

Thinkpad X200 with intel 5300abgn wifi... some interaction between new kernel and network manager? [10:56] seanj: and them doing 'work arounds/shortcuts' in parts. [10:56] I burned ubuntu9.10 iso but having trouble booting the cd, theres just a _ at the top of the screen, will not load I am going into bios and booting from my cd drive [10:56] Dr_Willis, ut2004 retail version works fine for me [10:56] seanj, the software is not broken, it has been thoroughly tested used and enjoyed by many users, there is just something that you are not doing correctly [10:56] Dr_Willis: no, it isn't. Both games I've tried work on every other distro I've used. It's a problem with Ubuntu, but you would rather blame my faulty logic. [10:56] its very hard to trouble shoot closed source software. [10:56] Why when I try to set static ip config in /etc/network/interfaces I can't access to internet and when in dhcp i have no problem? === isilion is now known as felix_ [10:56] noah22: Is it possible to try with another computer? [10:56] hi!!!i downloaded a movie of 698 mb through bit torrent client. but when i run it it just goes for 5 sec...can anyone help [10:56] seanj: and those disrtos may not be using the same version/releases of X and other things. [10:56] Dr_Willis nothing did also [10:57] khensthoth: no, but the earlier version of ubuntu loaded fine [10:57] seanj, now listen here, I am now going to get my ut2004 cds and i am going install and play the game and post a screenshot to prove to you that there is NOTHING wrong with ubuntu [10:57] I downloaded this from the official website [10:57] discovery, either it's corrupted or you don;t have the necessary codecs [10:57] !codecs | discovery [10:57] discovery: 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 [10:57] iKernel: running the game made my system freeze up. That did not happen on Slackware, Mandriva or ANY version of Windows. [10:58] So you can't really prove anything to me by sending me a screen shot. [10:58] its .avi i have the codecs,what if it is corrupted is theer a way to play [10:58] iKernel: i rebooted its still the same as 1024*768 and when i reboot then in nvidia setting the resolutions automatically changes to auto [10:58] !HAL | discovery [10:58] discovery: Hal is in the process of being depreciated. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer for more info.

[10:59] seanj, im using the same operating system and the same version of that operating system a screenshot is proof that it works [10:59] I'm gonna save the log of this chat so people can see how you play the blame game. [10:59] noah22: Where does it stall? Do you get the selection menu, where you get to choose to check the cd for defects? [10:59] lol [10:59] works for me. [10:59] stupid idiot [10:59] seanj: logs of this channel are already published online [11:00] http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ [11:00] khensthoth: it loads the HP invent screen and then goes black with a cursor [11:00] lstarnes, he's already sulked off [11:00] he never did state what version of X or nvidia drivers the other disrtos was using. :) [11:00] it says ubuntu9.10.iso is on the cd .. weird [11:00] ragequit. [11:00] iKernel: and here i was going to track down my cd's as well.. guess not [11:01] Dr_Willis, lol i've found my cds in my tub of junk and im installing now [11:01] iKernel: i got a box of old games also.

[11:24] om26er: i think so. [11:24] Dr_Willis, ok I will check it out, did they ever get boxee working with hulu again? [11:24] Guest44816: never tried boxee [11:25] toffan: by "inside win-vista" do you mean using wubi, or using virtualisation? [11:25] khensthoth: inside vista using wubi [11:26] kostkon, is it possible to order the alternate cd? [11:26] Supremacy, no. you can only download it [11:26] Supremacy: not for free. Theres sites that sell them [11:26] bleh [11:26] I had a ubuntu server 9.04 with X on my laptop, I removed that hdd and put it in my nettop with atom ion 330. It displays X but it doesn't recognise LAN & wireless LAN. So I cannot do anything with it. Is there a way to try, except re-install everything? [11:26] toffan: What is your Ubuntu version, and what sound card are you using? [11:26] ubuntu 9.10 [11:27] i currently use jaunty version, but it keeps loosing connection to internet [11:27] toffan, did you try to setup your sound in system → preferences → sound? [11:27] it will work, and then the internet just dies [11:27] and sound sysmtem is asus [11:27] hey all [11:28] SOA record not at top of zone <<< -------- I am getting this error during bind9 startup [11:28] khensthoth: not yet one sec checking [11:28] could someone tell me if the lastest netbook img is truely a bootable img? [11:28] is there any way to check whats going wrong ? [11:28] sabgenton: i dident think 9.10 had a netbook img anymore. but was using a .iso [11:29] the last ubuntu netbook version I just dd ed to a usb stick but this one dosn't work [11:29] Dr_Willis: sorry your right ISO [11:29] khensthoth: no it is not working [11:29] sabgenton: its booted here :) [11:29] Dr_Willis: did you dd it? === begasus_ is now known as Begasus [11:30] why do the call it an ISO anyway its not a cdrom/dvd filesystem is it [11:30] what's the default gui text editor in xubuntu? [11:30] toffan: Try to see if the instruction in http://forums.techarena.in/operating-systems/1266038.htm by BasBak applies to you. [11:30] jongbergs: Isn't it mousepad? [11:31] Dr_Willis: did I run hexdump on it it shows a blank mbr [11:31] Dr_Willis: how did u install it [11:31] sabgenton: you dd'd the iso to a flash drive? thats now how you installit to a usb. [11:31] khensthoth: i mean the command to open the gui text editor, same like gedit in gnome [11:31] sabgenton: i set up grub2 toboot the iso file. :) i got a 4 in one boot usb that way [11:31] sabgenton: or use unetbootin/usb-creator-tool [11:32] er ok [11:32] sabgenton: as far as i know it IS a iso filesystem [11:32] oh [11:32] crazy [11:32] sabgenton: the old netbook rellease was a .img [11:32] that one had to be dd's to a flash drive [11:32] jongbergs: I believe it's just "mousepad". [11:32] yeah I think thats what I was thinking [11:33] Dr_Willis: if you used your own grub them mabye the ISO doen't have the means to boot on its own? [11:34] sabgenton: never noticed. ive only used ghe grub2 thing and unetbootin/usb-creator-tool [11:34] sabgenton: try it in virtualbox? :) [11:34] khensthoth: thanks :) [11:35] meah I'll just go find the howto [11:35] does anybody have recommendations for a good, not too pricey scanner that works with Ubuntu? I am thinking of something like a Canon Lide 80 (which used on OS X), which obviously isn't working with Ubuntu. [11:35] wish I could just dd it like I did with the img [11:35] sabgenton: it boots in virtuaalbox here.. so it IS a bootable iso image [11:35] Dr_Willis: so the image is trully iso9660? [11:35] Dr_Willis, guess what im getting :) [11:35] hi [11:36] out of curiousity [11:36] sabgenton: no idea. lets look. its booting in vbox now. [11:36] my sound system is muted, how to unmute that? [11:36] toffan, use alsamixer and put up the volume [11:36] file ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.iso [11:37] ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'Ubuntu-Netbook-Remix 9.10 i386 ' (bootable) [11:37] sabgenton: so yes.. it is a bootable iso [11:37] iKernel: its only showing the graph [11:37] how to enable sound? [11:37] crazy [11:37] toffan: Use up down arrow key to increase/ reduce the volume [11:37] toffan, use the arrow keys to put up the sound [11:37] Mrokii: go to the sane webpage to check compatibility [11:38] I spose you mounted it with VB as a cd? [11:38] Something about dev loop1 and not being able to mount cow? The Netbook Remix stopped right at the same place where it did before where it couldn't mount cow, whatever that is. [11:38] iKernel: there is no arrow key [11:38] erUSUL: I did, and it isn't supported [11:38] toffan, the arrow keys on your keyboard [11:38] The desktop version installer at least got to a loading screen-ish thing that didn't actually go anywhere. [11:38] anyhoo I'll go google [11:38] iKernel: oh got it [11:38] sabgenton: its running in virtualbox right now. [11:38] thnx [11:38] or scrol [11:38] mouse [11:38] iKernel: thanks a lot [11:38] toffan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:38] Mrokii: but there you can see which ones are supported to pick one [11:38] toffan cool [11:39] erUSUL: There are way too much to look for each and every one of them, imho :) [11:39] lindar: cow (copy n writte) i suppose UNR mounts its roofs over a COW loop device and for some reason is failing [11:39] Dr_Willis, dont you want to know what im getting? [11:40] iKernel: a new car? :) [11:40] iKernel: a lump of coal for Xmas? :) [11:40] Dr_Willis, no but i am considering buying a 100cc scooter [11:40] Okay, but the desktop one got past that. It went through all the text loady things, flashed a yellow screen, and then got to a black screen with my mouse as an hourglass-ish icon, but didn't do anything. [11:40] Get some Life Insurance also. iKernel :P [11:40] lol [11:41] test [11:41] obiwan_: hi there [11:41] toffan: whats the airspeed of a laden swallow? :) [11:41] Dr_Willis, im getting an intel E6600 duo cpu, has virtualization technology so i'll be able to run windows in guest under normal speed :) [11:41] iKernel: In Theory. :) I will belive it when i see it. [11:42] iKernel: just what Gameers need! :) [11:42] Dr_Willis, ~97% [11:42] Dr_Willis: more than that [11:42] iKernel: Over clock it! [11:42] Dr_Willis, plus, they're also working on VGA passthrough support, so your guest OS can directly access your physical video card [11:42] Dr_Willis, meaning that you get nice fps :D [11:43] faps? [11:43] dryg, fps [11:43] How do i find the version of a windows portable executable in ubuntu? [11:43] :x === ENDer|studying is now known as [CD]ENDer [11:44] someone knows how to install tor in ubuntu 9.10? [11:44] i mean, i have a .exe, and want to get the version information, like in the properties dialog in windows. [11:45] pilmark: perhaps run it - see if it has an about menu? [11:45] BlouBlou: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR [11:45] pilmark: or theres some windows explorer clone that comes with wine i thought [11:45] TuTUXG: repo isn't for 9.10 [11:46] BlouBlou: How about this? http://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en [11:46] -___- Am I doing something horribly wrong in installing this? I thought Ubuntu was supposed to just work, and that's why it's so popular. No work involved. [11:46] I just can't get it to install. [11:47] hola a todos en la sala [11:47] khensthoth: yeah! thanks a lot [11:47] Dr_Willis: It doesn't say that, when i run it. and i dont seem to have any explorer clone with my version of wine [11:47] just had lunch now im sleepy [11:48] ^^ [11:48] pilmark: i ve seen one in the .wine directory wheni was exploring [11:48] gd it, how the hell did i mange to loose urt install disk 1 without even leaving my seat [11:49] pilmark: cow:~/.wine/drive_c/windows$ wine explorer.exe [11:49] pilmark: but the propereits feature seems broken [11:49] Can anybody just spare a few minutes to hand-hold me through this stuff? I really don't know all that much about computers, but I wanted to install Linux to play around and learn about stuff like that, but I'm pretty much ready to give up and stick with Windows because this isn't working. [11:50] I keep getting errors like this: "accept: Too many open files!". I think this ia because my ulimit on max open file handles is set too low. How do I increase this? ulimit -n says 1024. I would like to increase this. [11:50] anyone have recommendations on a music managing app? === curtis is now known as Guest57464 [11:50] lindar, what do you need to know [11:50] pilmark: use the 'explorer,exe' select the file 'alt-enter' it shows the version in a window at the bottom [11:51] david_, im pretty fond of songbird [11:51] hi [11:51] david_ I need to know how to install Ubuntu on my Asus 1005HA. So far it's broken/crashed/not worked every time I've tried it. [11:51] digitalfiz, will it sync up to ipod as well? [11:51] I'm trying to get wireless work in IBM T42p, but it can't find any network... does anyone know how to get it work [11:51] lindar, do you have a live cd? [11:52] Dr_Willis, Thank you [11:52] No, a 2GB USB flash drive. [11:52] lindar, will your computer not boot off of usb? [11:52] pilmark: odd it dosent add an icon to that explorer.exe in the wine menus [11:52] It will and does. === amy is now known as coolamy123 [11:52] Hello, i do i increase the system volume? ... everything i hear sounds like whisper when it should be like loudspeaker [11:52] ok? [11:53] david_, it has ipod tools yes but im not sure how well they work [11:53] please help [11:53] iKernel: so did you get your game working? or is it still installing.. or did you just give up> :) [11:53] I've installed kdm, but how to switch back to gdm....? [11:53] new_to_linux: Have to tried increasing the volume in System > Preference > Sound? [11:53] so hey, i tottally got a hang of this twonky mediaserver. its really cool. [11:53] digitalfiz, ok, not that i really need them was just wondering [11:53] napster: at one time you would do a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' and it would ask.. [11:53] napster: not sure if that still works [11:54] !info twonky [11:54] Dr_Willis: Let me see... [11:54] Package twonky does not exist in karmic [11:54] napster: with the changes to upstart some things have changed. [11:54] I don't have a problem booting into the install thing. Pretty much everything stops working after I select "Install Ubuntu". [11:54] lindar: you downloaded the netbook remix? === coolamy123 is now known as amy_ [11:54] khensthoth: *thanks8 [11:54] lindar, o I see...hmmmmm [11:54] khensthoth: it worked :D [11:55] lindar, like hangs up and stops working? [11:55] you can stream media from your comp over your network [11:55] Dr_Willis: N no. I'm using mint 7. You are talking about Karmic..? [11:55] new_to_linux: No worries. [11:55] The netbook remix gives me some error right after I select "Install Ubuntu" which states something about a loop and a cow, then if I hit return, it just gives me a cursor. [11:55] khensthoth: any idea how i could make use of all 5 speakers instead of 2? [11:55] napster: 9.10 is slowly changeing everything to upstart. I imagine Mint will follow. [11:55] The desktop version will load through everything, flash yellow (it looks like a fancy desktop wallpaper), then go to a black screen with an hourglass mouse-thingy. [11:55] new_to_linux: Again, it's in the Sound Preference, under Hardware tab [11:56] lindar, did you buy the usb or download and build? [11:56] After that it just sits there on the black screen. [11:56] I don't understand your question, david_. [11:56] Dr_Willis: Hmm... [11:56] napster: Mint has its own support channel also :) [11:56] lindar, did you make the usb? [11:56] lindar, with like penlinux? [11:57] <[psyk]> how could I go about PROPERLY wiping my HDD, without like a nuker [11:57] <[psyk]> I just need to get rid of truecrypt without the rescue CD [11:57] No, it's an "Attache" 2gb flash drive that I bought from Staples. [11:57] khensthoth: none of the options make 5.1 speaker system work, but 2 speakers is not bad. will do [11:57] FloodBot3: 2pac Gangsters paradise [11:57] lindar, ok [11:57] new_to_linux: Does your soundcard support 5.1 channel sound? Do the drivers? [11:58] <[psyk]> Ok, here's my problem: I installed truecrypt, then attempted to remove it with the rescue CD because it got screwed up. I paused the process, and lost the CD. Now my main partition is corrupt, and I need to wipe my HDD. How can I go about doing that> [11:58] lindar, did you verify checksum after download? [11:58] lindar: In windows, it works perfectly, so i think it does [11:58] * lindar is an audio engineer, so magically knows something about sound stuff. =D [11:58] It may be that the drivers under Linux don't support the 5.1 stuffs. [11:59] david_ I don't know what that means. [11:59] psyk, gparted or parted majik should work for you [11:59] lindar: anyway i could test if it supports? [11:59] lindar, on the download page, right under the file will be a long checksum [11:59] new_to_linux: I have no idea as I've used linux all of twenty minutes in my entire life. =D [12:00] lindar: Verifying checksum is a way of checking if what you have downloaded is "correct" so to say. [12:00] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download <------ Here? What is a checksum? [12:00] lindar: oh, we are almost on the same boat [12:00] lindar, that is a way of verifying what you downloaded [12:00] Okay. [12:00] What am I looking for? [12:01] hi everybody! I am planning to install a dualboot system on my girlfirends laptop with win7 and ubuntu. I have win7 already installed and now am planning on how to resize the partitions. I plan to have a partition with the win7 os on it, a 20GB partition for ubuntu root and the rest as data partition for both systems. But how do I format these? Is it best to have an ext2 or ntfs formatted system? What would I need for the ubuntu [12:01] lindar, my suggestion to you is not to start with 9.10 [12:01] 9.04 is last stable release [12:02] lindar: there is only few postings in the forums about failure to mount /dev/loop /cow: like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8334918 (w/out solution sadly) [12:02] lindar, 9.10 had quirks that my laptop didn't like and I had to take it off [12:02] thanks everyone [12:02] david_ - same here [12:03] Really? I've spent all day trying to do this. I wasted six hours just waiting for both of those files to finish downloading, plus the rest of the day trying to make these installers work. There's no way to just make it work with one of the two files I already downloaded? [12:03] Rodensky, no touchpad ;o( [12:03] lindar, please don't get frustrated [12:03] So what am I supposed to download, then? [12:03] lindar: info about checksums is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [12:03] hi [12:04] lindar, ubuntu jaunty 9.04 [12:04] david_ - no video, no touchpad, no many other things.... [12:04] on karmic, there is some issue with DNS due to which I am getting 1.0.0.0 via firefox/chrome et [12:04] I chnged back to 9.04 [12:04] lindar, distrowatch.com is an excellent source of whats out there [12:04] host
does work fine sometimes [12:04] while sometmes it says "malformed packet" [12:05] Rodensky, yeah and mint 8 is crazy right now for me too [12:05] aaaaaa: Would adding OpenDNS IPs solve that? [12:05] well I tried quite a few .. could you let me know which to add ? [12:05] Where do I get the 9.04 version? [12:05] Rodensky, I am not a true geek so I have to kind of stick with something a little more stable === aaaaaa is now known as abhinavmodi [12:06] lindar, hold on a min [12:06] david_ - I never tried mint... i tried mandriva and got tired after a few minutes.... :] [12:06] right now I have nameserver 192.168.1.1 , which is the broadband/adsl router [12:06] that works fine for windows [12:06] hello all [12:06] is ubuntu really hardware independent ? [12:06] david_: lindar: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ [12:06] lindar, 64 bit or not? your computer [12:07] Uhhh... [12:07] I dunno. =D [12:07] lindar, http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso [12:07] david_ - non of us here aren't true geeks... we only look like geeks to the real world using windows :P [12:08] Rodensky, windows??? what is that??? LOL [12:08] Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay. Now I get to wait another three hours. [12:08] DennisG: nothing is hardware independent... [12:08] Well, I appreciate you at least setting me on the correct track. [12:08] How can I get wireless to work in IBM T42p laptop? [12:08] Rodensky: Agreed ;) Although I been so detached from Windows since XP. [12:09] khensthoth: opendns server addresses please ? [12:09] lindar, that should get you going, and remember its not an easy path but very enjoyable once you get going [12:09] abhinavmodi: Hold on. Let me check. [12:09] if i have an ubuntu server with RAID on it installed, and I would like to "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop", how would that conflict with my RAID? [12:09] lindar: i'm not sure if the 9.04 *will* work. Since the netbook remix is suited for all eeepc's. See for example eeeuser forum: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=78508 [12:09] Isn't there a Netbook version for 9.04? [12:10] abhinavmodi: 208.67.222.222 and/or 208.67.220.220 [12:10] The one for 9.1 that was netbook downloaded a lot faster, so maybe the 9.04 netbook one will also download faster? [12:10] lindar, have a netbook [12:10] look for moblin [12:10] khensthoth: thanks ! let me check if those work. Are there any packages which need to be installed, to help out [12:10] lindar, you have netbook? [12:11] Yeah, Asus 1005HA. [12:11] for ex.. there was one called dnsmasq which I uninstalled [12:11] Windows, for all you geeks here, is a special system designed to support... hmmm... let me think... [12:11] to rule it out [12:11] lindar [12:11] DennisG: if you have the drivers setup right [12:11] i have 1008ha [12:11] Okay. [12:11] abhinavmodi: Neh, just put those IP into your router under DNS, or alternatively follow this http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/567-internet-connexion-is-very-slow-on-karmic-koala-solution- [12:11] lindar: this might be related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/219192 [12:11] lindar, yeah you most definitely would want a netbook version I would assume [12:12] well... you can defrag on windows! isn't that enough for you? [12:12] following the link is the issue here ;) I have one PC only ;) [12:12] anyone got Aion to install/run in ubuntu? [12:12] will try this and get back [12:12] Link for the older netbook one? [12:13] Rodensky, you can get expensive software with confusing manuals and product keys too!!! LOL [12:13] khensthoth: that works for now ! [12:13] david_: can i get DONGLE based copy protection also? [12:13] thanks a ton. one question - when I connect to a vpn (cisco), these need to be changed [12:13] Dr_Willis, probably wouldn't have to look too hard ;o) [12:13] and once the vpn disconnects, the namservers need to change back [12:14] lindar: http://releases.ubuntu.com/jaunty/, see UNR USB image [12:14] david_: flash back to the old autocad and other programs days.. :) [12:14] so how do I work on that cleanly ? should I put them under /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/interfaces ? [12:14] Dr_Willis, OUCH, I don't want too....hehehe [12:14] is there any way to minimize opengl fullscreen applications like ut2004 ? [12:14] i want to switch to my desktop when playing [12:15] abhinavmodi: I have no experience in that unfortunately. [12:15] Claw6: ut2004 actually worked? :) someone in here earlier was having issues.. then he got mad and left. [12:15] iKernel: did you ever get Ut2004 working? [12:15] khensthoth: np .. will figure it out. opendns rocks :) [12:15] Dr_Willis, it works for me yes [12:15] david_, now even linux supports that, yet it has no support for defrags like windows does and has no installing interface with at least 5 dialogs like windows does!! [12:15] no problem [12:16] Claw6: :) where were you about 2 hrs ago. heh. [12:16] this is a low tech os... :P [12:16] Dr_Willis, I think I get like 4 or 5 reinstalls with Vista before I have to buy another copy....YAY!!!!! [12:16] david_: wee!

[14:03] livingdaylight_: It just adds to that directory, but information regarding the background is stored in an xml file in .gnome2 in your home directory.

[14:05] livingdaylight_: Nope, just drag whatever pictures you want to add to the collection to Appearance > Background. The xml file is automatically updated when you do that.

[14:10] When I do shift + number I get the correct number (azerty keyboard). But when I press shift lock and then type the numbers, I get other chars ... any idea how to solve that ? [14:10] khensthoth, yup that works, so i'm satisfied with that. although ideally, and logically, adding wallpager.jpg's into the usr/share/background folder should show up in Appearnces automatically after a rescan === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay [14:10] livingdaylight_: I knot what you mean.

I am not sure but when Ubuntu updates it *might* delete those that you have added. As /usr/share/background is in the root directory, and you aren't really supposed to mess with it. [14:12] im not having the folder in /etc and i want to configure my X to use compiz [14:12] is there a maximum amount of swap space one can assign when installing karmic? [14:13] khensthoth, even if i've sudo cp 'd them? [14:13] Hi. Is there anybody who uses "alpine" email client? [14:13] Micheil: no [14:13] livingdaylight_: I really have no idea if Ubuntu will delete it. Most likely it wouldn't. [14:13] but, ok, i'll create a .wallpaper folder... but i thought usr/share/backgrounds was the designated folder for backgrounds rather than createing another one [14:14] if I did apt-get source on a package and modify the code a bit, is some simple way I can build a package from that to install it instead of the normal one? [14:14] livingdaylight_: more then likely, the other alternative could be storing them in say, /opt/wallpapers/ and then symlinking that into /usr/share/background/ [14:14] khensthoth, don't see why. just as i've added fonts to /usr/share/fonts [14:14] erUSUL: okay.. is there a maximum that ubuntu will use? [14:15] should we not be adding to already existing folders that are designated to backgrounds and fonts etc? in root or creating separate ones? [14:15] anybody able to at least point me in the right direction to help get my problems solved/reported? [14:15] Micheil: well in theory no; but you will tired of waiting for linux to recover from a swap storm [14:15] livingdaylight_: well, really you could put the wallpapers in /usr/share/backgrounds, just like fonts, although, if you ever need to reinstall, you need to remember where those files are, and make sure you don't forghet them [14:15] whats your question wknight8111 ? [14:15] erUSUL: swap storm? [14:15] fx3: major stability problems in karmic. Freezing, hanging, won't boot sometimes, etc [14:16] Micheil, that's a good point [14:16] fx3: Not able to really even report it because I don't know what package it's associated with, and everybody wants to know package [14:16] wknight8111, any messages ? if you get the system to boot, run dmesg [14:17] fx3: yes, lots of stuff appears there [14:17] wknight8111, boot in single user mode, check the logs of package installation, dpkg i think, and see whats wrong [14:17] Hi After I upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 I decided to try the new software center but whenever I click on it, the mouse egins to show loading then it exits before the program sta.

[14:17] wknight8111, you might find that it might be a hardware issue [14:17] fx3: okay, how do I get the dpkg logs? [14:17] Micheil: hd are way slower then ram if linux starts using to much swap it enters a pathological state and can take a lot of time to recover [14:17] hello everybody, can anyone throw some light on where the x11 folder gone from my /etc [14:18] hi people [14:18] Micheil: do not think so. if you use swap you kill you performance [14:18] when googled i came across missing /etc/x11/xorg.conf but no one reported x11 folder as missing [14:18] wknight8111, everything is in /var/log/ [14:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/324382/ [14:18] Is this how I am suppose to do this [14:18] erUSUL: okay.. this is slightly confusing, but any how.. what's the recommended amount of swap? I always assumed more meant better performance. [14:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/324382/ This is my problem [14:19] The problem is : even after dropping all the compiz packages i was missing my window titles, === darksector is now known as kitallis_mom [14:19] Micheil: not at all. if you plan to hibernate to disk you need RAM == swap if you plannot to with $ GiB of memory 1 GiB o swap or so is fine [14:19] Jamiell: remove the line that says « deb http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic main universe » [14:20] Jamiell: it's line 66 in your paste. it's wrong. === kitallis_mom is now known as darksector [14:20] erUSUL: okay.. 2GiB of memory + 5 GiB of swap on a 10,000rpm disk should be pretty fast, right? [14:20] Micheil, you dont need 5GB of swap, it will never get used. [14:20] LjL, was that meant for me? [14:21] AceKing: oh, yes it was [14:21] fx3: hmm? [14:21] LjL, thank you! and that will take care of both the error lines? [14:21] Micheil: swap space does not impact performance in any way (only negatively when your systems has to use and the performance hit is quite noticiable) [14:21] seems no body is having the problem like i have [14:21] AceKing: yes, it should [14:21] LjL, Thanks for your help! [14:21] LjL: I don't see that line. How do I run the software center from the terminal? [14:21] if anyone there who is having problem like this pls get in touch [14:22] oh, so I'm better off getting more memory, rather then adding more swap space? [14:22] kern.log contains several entries for "BUG: scheduling while atomic: Xorg/1409/0x10000001" [14:23] Jamiell: i was actually responding to AceKing, and mixed you up. i don't know what your problem might be due to... [14:23] LjL: Thanks for the answering though [14:24] 这里有中文么？？ [14:24] and lots of "Corrupted low memory..." entries [14:24] 这里有中文么？？ [14:24] It works, but several problems on boot.. one, it loads the xubuntu logo when it's booting up, two, it says kubuntu on login screen and three it says xubuntu on the extra bit of loading it does after that [14:24] Karmic, that is [14:24] But it still says in the 'about ubuntu' bit that it is Ubuntu 9.10 [14:25] !cn | lh [14:25] lh: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:26] does anyone know how a unix daemon should behave when started with an init.d script? mine needs to generate D-H exchange, so it takes some time. Should i block the terminal and let it compute silently (then it will slow down the boot) or should i daemonize it straight away and fail silently later? [14:26] i just installed karmic on my laptop and my hdd light stays on almost constantly. anything i can do? how can i see cpu and ram stats? [14:27] BA^: top [14:27] how to install Paltalk in Ubuntu 9.10? (any tuto please) [14:28] Hi, I'm trying to install a SmartBoard software on my x86_64 but it only support x86. I've found out that this shouldn't give the problem if I use "dpkg -i --force-architecture" command. But I can't use this command because its not a .deb file instead it's called .package. What can I do? [14:28] hello... I just bought a 2 TB HD, and I am just wondering how i should format it, and to what format? ext3 or ext4? [14:29] Jamiell: cause of your problem might be in LANG setting [14:29] Jamiell: your paste says: "ValueError: unknown locale: en_AG" [14:29] Daremonai: i vote ext4 [14:29] My entire system runs ext4, 1TB + 2x500GB + 2x 250GB [14:30] Daremonai: you can partition it however you want, but ext3 and ext4 are both nice and standard, ext4 has some extra fun bits that are a little quicker [14:30] well i have 6 HDs other than that one.. they're all in ext3 format [14:30] don't feel like formatting the others to ext4... so i was wondering if i should put that as ext3 or 4... [14:31] wow... 83% cpu and only 7532k mem free :( anything to improve that? go with different distro? [14:31] Daremonai: http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions#What_are_the_key_differences_between_ext3_and_ext4.3F [14:31] Daremonai: you don't have to format the others to ext4, you can leave them as ext3 [14:32] I have a file list in a txt file, and I want to mv all the files listed on the txt file, what should i do? === darksector is now known as darksector|food [14:32] gord, yeah.. i didn't move them to ext4 nor am i planning to do so... guess i'll make that one ext4.

[14:33] is there a tutorial to do it with gparted or should i just do it from the cmd line? [14:34] hi, I am using ubuntu 9.10, I have seperate hard drive on which I made a 20gb partition and installed the new opensuse 11.2 - it messed up my grub (I know what I did wrong, and will learn from my mistake), but I need to know how to restore grub to get my ubuntu install to boot again [14:34] Anyone know where I can find any good programming tutorials whether is be c,c++,java or anything of the sort? [14:34] epinky: not sure what min requirements are... how do i see my cpu and ram amounts? [14:34] <|_\> Is the ntfs driver bundled with Ubuntu 8.04 sufficiently stable and reliable to do operations on critical data? === jfeole_ is now known as jfeole [14:34] Daremonai: whatever you prefer [14:34] |_\ it should be, but you should have backups of data like that in any case [14:34] Even windows messes up sometimes [14:34] epinky, well... top shows me memory... wow only 256 :( [14:34] i just gotta say, i stopped using ubuntu with Elky because it was just too bloated, and now i'm back with Karmic and i'm very impressed [14:35] btw.. I have a PCI to SATA controller, does anyone know if this is good or bad? [14:35] that could be a problem [14:35] <|_\> CShadowRun: thanks [14:35] How do I fix grub if I can't even get into ubuntu?

[14:36] wiehan what did you do, install windows over the top of grub? [14:36] oCean_, haha, yes, sorry. elky is an op around here... i got confused [14:36] Hi.

[14:37] wiehan: i'm not really sure tbh, maybe this guide will help. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [14:37] ganymede: python + /proc? [14:37] does anyone know of any good c,c++, java or programming tutroials [14:37] epinky: thanks. i'm pretty sure it's a 1ghz but looks like i'm lacking in the mem dept === mab is now known as Guest36199 [14:38] I forgot to create bootboster partition. Now... My first partition is used for a swap... Is it possible to "unmount" swap partition and edit it? [14:38] CShadowRun, as in, just write one up a script really quickly? [14:38] Hi...is any one else having issues drawing with either a mouse or a graphics tablet in 9.10? The same hardware worked fine in 9.04. [14:38] ganymede: yea, isn't that hard to pull up CPU stats from /proc [14:38] I forgot to create bootboster partition. Now... My first partition is used for a swap... Is it possible to "unmount" swap partition and edit it? While I'm in ubuntu? [14:38] <|_\> Nobody knows how to start an application minimized? I wish to have the console minimized every time I log on. [14:38] ganymede: i can chuck you some example code if you like i've done it in python [14:38] CShadowRun, sorry, i forgot to mention that i guess i'd like a web interface so my users can know which node has free cores [14:38] ganymede: ah [14:39] ganymede: python+django+/proc? ;) [14:39] (Yes, i'm terrible) [14:39] CShadowRun, i was actually thinking about putting something together with daemons in perl that are webservers that just serve the output of ps aux and free -m and then a webserver reads throse from each node and prints it out [14:39] Sj4lut: you'll have to edit /etc/fstab [14:39] hi, I just installed ubuntu 9.10 64bit.... when I booted my desktop... there is a little green box in the corner of the screen that says "Unsupported Hardware"... it has the AMD logo.... the funny thing is I have an Intel CPU not AMD. on the other hard the restricted fglrx drivers for my ATI 5870 don't get enabled even when I "Activate" it... [14:39] if i have compiz installed can that slow things down? === Guest36199 is now known as mab [14:40] CShadowRun, but it'd be nice if they could use a well-documented system for after i leave this job and they get a new admin [14:40] epinky: can you guide me please? [14:40] ganymede: maybe you'd like "sar" (from sysstat packagE) [14:40] Jamiell: I'd like to find good c,c++, java tutorial especially dedicated to the linux environment as well. Don't know where. [14:40] ganymede: yea, well i don't know of anything like that, good luck finding it though :) [14:40] Sj4lut: do you feel confortable with command line? [14:40] hi to all [14:40] epinky: yes [14:40] epinky: I think so [14:41] leagris: Yea same here [14:41] epinky: why do you ask? [14:41] I have a simply question: how to run a check disk in ubuntu ? is in there a command ? [14:41] !fsck | Davidov [14:41] Davidov: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [14:41] Sj4lut: you've already modified with fdisk? [14:42] blip-: then it looks like it's your video card it's complaining about. ATI is a b***h to get working sometimes.. [14:42] epinky: no I just installed ubuntu [14:42] ok tnx [14:42] oCean_, thanks, i'll look into it a little bit to see if i can get it to monitor all the nodes from one place [14:42] epinky: or would it be faster if I reinstall it :D after 5mins :D [14:42] how-to adjust firewall? [14:43] scunizi, yeah that's why I wanted a nvidia... but compared to the GTX295, the 5870 is just so much better designed and cheaper. [14:43] Sj4lut: a fresh-install is always better :) [14:43] !ufw [14:43] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [14:43] ganymede: hm, in that case you would need access to /proc on all systems... [14:44] blip-: but tough to get working.. check the forums at www.ubuntuforums.org and www.google.com/linux .. just reference the card number and "ubuntu" and you should come up with some stuff. [14:44] irc://irc.Abjects.net/elitemusic [14:44] other than lubuntu which distro would work good on 1ghz/256ram laptop? [14:45] oCean_, maybe i can run sar on each node and get it to print output into a place on the NFS server so they end up in the same place...? [14:45] scunizi, cool. thanks [14:45] BA^: DSL ... damn small linux [14:45] duddl: please don't spam :( [14:45] hi, any idea how to use the displayport of newer thinkpads (i.e. x301) on ubuntu with an hdmi adapter? Fn + F7 (output display switcher) makes the screen flicker for a moment but doesn't work. for vga it works fine. [14:45] BA^: Xubuntu , and Ubuntu but with FluxBox [14:46] epinky: i'm running xfce right now, but i can try fluxbox [14:46] Hey, I am using Kubuntu here, and I cannot get my display configuration to change from 1024x768. How do I manually configure my display modes? xorg.conf is not there and I am lost! [14:46] ganymede: sure, something like that. Or gather info through ssh remote command. I'd say search google, maybe someone has already done that :) [14:47] sry [14:47] xorg.conf is not in /etc/X11/ ?

[14:50] aeon-ltd, that's true but it is more difficult to get into than kde and gnome and the like [14:50] jcapinc: yep, it'll do so [14:50] brianski1: grey? you mean gnome defaults?

[15:00] khensthoth, yes, how is it showing me an OS chocie menu then [15:00] khenstoth:so will it support?? [15:00] MrCheetoDust: i reccommend 32bit for current mass compatibility [15:00] Hi, is it safe to backup my Ubuntu desktop system (using rsync) while the files are in use, or is it necessary to switch the box off and use a live cd? [15:00] aeon-ltd: Ok [15:00] blip-: If that is the case, You'd be using GRUB2, which doesn't use the old system of menu.lst anymore. [15:00] akyapt: some but not enough(for me) to switch [15:01] how can i speed up wireless-n lan in ubuntu? [15:01] aeon-ltd:then waste of installing 64 bit? [15:01] khensthoth, that's what I thought, but I went and typed apt-get install grub2 and it started installing it :D anyhow do you know roughly how I can just change the order of menu entries assuming I have 2 ? [15:01] BlueEagle, the sound is more like the high pitched sound of a dental drill - as i said... strange [15:01] akyapt: no the new binaries will be useful later, but in the end its your choice [15:01] blip-: The instructions and explanations are here. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 If you have any problem ask here later. [15:01] having issue with configuring mantis server on my machine, anyone tired doing this here? [15:02] khensthoth, thanks [15:02] aeon-ltd:i hmm thanks [15:02] DocMAX: allowing only N devices to associate? [15:02] aeon-ltd:and can u help me with mother board problem? [15:02] blip-: And according to Synaptic, grub2 is just a dummy package. [15:03] khensthoth, ah I see. [15:03] akyapt: what kind of problem? [15:03] Hi, is it safe to backup my Ubuntu 8.04 desktop system (using rsync) while the files are in use, or is it necessary to switch the box off and use a live cd? [15:03] thom-: Is this a laptop or a desktop? [15:03] Installing (wine/ies4linux) as per this: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation:Ubuntu I think it install beta pkgs. Do they work problem free on jaunty? [15:03] aeon-ltd:my mother board suports ram ddr2 400-533 mhz.......can i use 667 mhz of ram??? [15:04] its a desktop (htpc) [15:04] aeon-ltd:i have intel D102GGC2 [15:04] code: see appdb and #winehq for installing ie using wine. Last I heard, the winehq people do not recommend ies4linux [15:04] till yesterday ive had winxp on that pc.. it worked fine [15:04] !appdb > code [15:04] code, please see my private message [15:04] obg_: please don't bump and no not neccessary but don't make changes to files during backup(other than that it should be safe) [15:04] so i hope its not a hardware issue... i'm using onboard sound [15:04] akyapt: most ram will 'underclock' for compatibility but i'm not 100% sure [15:05] akyapt: so no performance gain [15:05] aeon-ltd:but itll not burn the mother board or the ram na? [15:05] aeon-ltd, much obliged [15:06] akyapt: If you install ONLY the 677mhz RAM, it should work at 677. If you have a combo of 400, 533, and/or 677. It'll work at the slowest speed. [15:06] akyapt: unlikely but anything 'could' happen, its safer to go with more compatible ram [15:06] khensthoth, btw I just rebooted my machine and noticed the grub menu says "GRUB version 1.97 `beta 4" [15:06] !prefix | thom- [15:06] thom-: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:07] blip-: Yup, that's GRUB2. [15:07] Anyone using ubuntu on a Samsung N140 netbook that can share how well it works out of the box, and what battery life is like? [15:07] sorry ;) [15:07] khensthoth:but then specification for my mother bord sya only 400-533 mhz?????????/// [15:07] jrib thanks, will try it. === virtus is now known as whois[offline] [15:08] thom-: What you can try is to disable sound output in the BIOS and see if the problem persists. If it does then the noise is in the PCI bus system. If it does not then the most likely cause is bad cabling. === PhantomLink is now known as PL|Snoozing [15:09] akyapt: If you are afraid, then don't go beyond that. If your motherboard supports only 400-533MHZ and you install a 677MHz DDR2 RAM, it'll work at 400-533 MHz. They should be backwards compatible. [15:09] akyapt: You are running a risk of damaging both the RAM and your motherboard though. [15:09] !ot | akyapt [15:09] akyapt: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [15:10] BlueEagle, okay, i'll try the disabling first. One more question: Where can i disable the soundcard completely? In Windows I'll go in the device manager and deactivate the soundcard, but i didnt find anything similar [15:10] khenstoth:means the mother board will take only 533 from 667?? [15:10] thom-: In Linux the equivalent would be to disable the module. [15:10] hi -- anyone know how to mount lvm (logical volume) from live cd? [15:10] akyapt: yes [15:11] BlueEagle, which module would that be? alsa utils? [15:11] Thom: in the BIOS of your mobo or in ALSAmixer mute all channels [15:11] thom-: `rmmod snd` would most likely be what you want. Many modules depend on it so it may fail unless all dependencies are removed. Not sure about that. [15:11] hey, I am currently using ubuntu jaunty and just installed amarok. Funnily it is possible to test the sound devices with amarok and get sound played, but when i want to play any kind of media he does not start to play it. Anyone know why or where to look for a solutionß [15:11] ? [15:11] thom-: See also: lssmod [15:11] thom-: Bahh.. make that: lsmod [15:11] hi to all [15:12] BlueEagle, thanks. [15:12] !hi | davidov [15:12] davidov: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [15:12] thom-: You're welcome. [15:12] Thom-: soundcore for example ? [15:12] hi, im trying to install ubuntu on my PC with bios of 1998, what one do i use? [15:12] does exist a graphic tool to mange a DAT device (magnetic tape) in Ubuntu ? [15:12] 8.04 wont work [15:13] pilif12p: what processor? [15:13] не знаете как настроить тв тюнер в ubuntu 9.04 тюнер авермедиа юсб чип А828 дрова встали твтайм поставил а звука нет [15:14] !ru | jeka_ [15:14] jeka_: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [15:14] aeon-ltd: i duno [15:14] is there any device manager in ubuntu? I'd like to try the installing of another driver for my soundcard if the bios deactivation does not work [15:14] pilif12p: Did you attempt to install the 32 or 64-bit version? [15:14] pilif12p: Also; in what way does it not work? [15:15] 32 х битная [15:15] pilif12p: you need to find out, ubuntu might just not be able to run on your pc, (i think it only supports from PIII and up) [15:15] Blue32 bit [15:15] oh [15:15] i wanna install server on it... [15:15] pilif12p: ...and what happens when you try to install? [15:15] BlueEagle: it tells me my bios are too old [15:16] epinky ??? [15:16] pilif12p: Then your bios is most likely too old. [15:16] only N devices? [15:16] oh [15:16] i know, but what version can i use? [15:16] I have two PCs running Ubuntu(9.10 and 9.04). I want to connect them via ad hoc wireless to share files [15:16] any?

I am not sure what in particular that causes the limitation with regards to the BIOS but I do assume that it is a kernel issue. [15:18] oh [15:18] hi everybody, i'm searching for a tip on fixing too fast vertical movement on 9.10 on lenovo s10 synaptics trackpad. there was a homebrew solution for 8.10 on "slacy's blog" (a replacement .deb package), but for later versions somebody comments: "Jon, the problem has now been solved with Jaunty. You have only to tweak the speed, but you can do it by modifying the xorg.conf file." i can't... [15:18] ...follow it, xorg.conf doesn't appear to include such settings [15:18] can i even use like ubuntu server? [15:19] is ther a certain protocol for this room? [15:19] HI [15:19] antoni: If a setting is not already present in xorg.conf you can add it yourself. However you need to be careful about putting the settings in the correct sections. [15:19] pilif12p: unlike;y, but there are other distros that cater to older pcs [15:19] hi, I'm making a livecd with openssh(or netcat)+openvpn because of broken laptop screen,what should I do in order to replace network-manager and dhcpcd on ethernet card? [15:19] is there a good gui intrusion detection ? [15:20] web gui ? [15:20] Or just jump in [15:20] dailystruggle: Just ask your questions if you have any. [15:20] h0rder:what do you ean? [15:20] does exist a graphic tool (GUI) to mange a magnetic tape device (DAT) in Ubuntu instead to use MT from terminal ? [15:20] snorby the mordern snort interface http://snorby.org/ [15:20] like a firewall for ubuntu where I can be notified if I am being attacked [15:20] CShadowRun, where in /proc would you a find per-core cpu usage breakdown of usage in %? [15:20] ganymede: i'll post a code example hold on, it's a little complicated [15:21] antoni: In xorg.conf there are different sections. ServerLayout is the one that sais which of the other sections are actually used. All sections do have a type and an identifier. The ServerLayout doesn't need all types defined as it has become quite good at guessing defaults. [15:21] BlueEagle: xorg.conf has almost nothing inside, a few lines, i believe the settings are in some dependent subfiles. anyway, can you guide me how to do it in this case (i know how to edit xorg.conf, but what to add)? [15:21] h0rder: isn't that a paradox, if anyone could launch a attack wouldn't they do it undetected? [15:21] h0rder: what do you want? [15:21] is ubuntu's empathy not compiled for voice and video chat? [15:22] hm [15:22] donri: It has an voice chat. [15:22] ganymede: http://pastebin.com/m1c8007d6 [15:22] antoni: What you would most likely need to do is define a section "InputDevice" with and Identifier of "Touchpad" and the appropriate Driver and Option lines. Then make sure that the ServerLayout include: InputDevice "Touchpad" "Corepointer" [15:22] ganymede: that's an applet i made for my keyboards LCD display to show per-core CPU usage, and memory usage. [15:22] !firewall | h0rder [15:22] h0rder: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [15:22] ganymede: so it should do you fine :) [15:22] The processer is an intel celeron, fwiw [15:22] padhu, i get no interface for it, no microphones on the contacts, and in rightclick it's grayed out [15:23] josh? [15:23] CShadowRun, thanks [15:23] new user login gives error for something missing [15:23] padhu, i get lots of microphones and cameras on my contacts in fedora [15:23] I have two PCs running Ubuntu(9.10 and 9.04). I want to connect them via ad hoc wireless to share files [15:23] user swither? [15:23] ctmjr: thanks === ineiros_ is now known as ineiros [15:23] switcher [15:23] I have like 60 instances of /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon running - is this normal?

[15:24] h0rder: your welcome === martyn is now known as Guest79667 [15:24] antoni: Let's imagine that you need the driver Synaptic and an option like VSpeed 100. You would then create a section like this (\n == line break): Section "InputDevice"\n Identifier "Touchpad"\n Driver "Synaptics"\n Option "VSpeed" "100"\n EndSection [15:25] hi ubottu [15:25] BlueEagle: here's my xorg.conf: http://wklej.org/id/211902/ [15:25] not on my end brinpat [15:25] toffan: have you got a compositing manager installed? [15:25] donri I don't know how to check that [15:25] Each instance uses like 2 MB of memory [15:25] aeon-ltd: how to check that?

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [15:25] The Ubuntu forums said there should only be one of these [15:25] josh? [15:25] binrapt, could be shared memory [15:25] BlueEagle: got it, what about the ServerLayout section? it's not there [15:25] toffan: are you using gnome + metacity A.K.A stock ubuntu? [15:25] binrapt, if you get a tree listing, you'll clearly see if they're children [15:25] donri it's 3 MB per process, 1 of that is shared [15:26] I tried pstree but it's not visible there hm [15:26] am using ubuntu 9,10 [15:26] siddhany3s: share the internet? you mean like a proxy? [15:26] root process, right [15:26] Oh yes donri you're right [15:26] Can someone help with a sound problem? Everything worked fine a couple of days ago, now I don't have any sound. When I hover my moues over the volume control it says dummy output. I don't know if that has anything to do with it [15:26] 64 instances [15:26] toffan: check in gnome-appearences-manager the last tab should be compiz/visual effects [15:26] 1 parent, 63 children [15:26] siddhant3s: share the internet? you mean like a proxy? [15:26] one sec [15:26] aeon-ltd: [15:26] But they still use quite some memory and I don't even know what they do o_O [15:27] aeon-ltd, I mean like I have internet connection, I want my friend to be able to browse on his PC using wireless ad hoc connection [15:27] antoni: Then you create one: Section "ServerLayout"\n Identifier "Layout0"\n Screen "Default Screen"\n InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer"\n EndSection [15:27] aeon-ltd, I don't have router [15:27] aeon-ltd: where to check that please tell me, am new to ubuntu [15:28] I can't kill them either hm [15:28] antoni: You may need: Screen 0 "Default Screen". Not sure tho. I run dual screen setup. [15:28] siddhant3s: i'm sorry i don't know how to do that, have you searched the wiki for sharing eth0 connections over wifi [15:28] I would like to completely delete windows after installing ubuntu, and Ive been dabbling with linux for years [15:28] antoni: Also BE SURE TO BACK UP your old xorg.conf in case things go wrong. [15:28] aeon-ltd: it is showing an error "Desktop effects could not be enabled" [15:28] !gparted | h0rder [15:28] h0rder: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program.

[15:58] just checking... do you still need to use the alternate installer if you want to install karmic to multiple drives using raid0? [15:58] how can I secure my external hard drive?

[16:02] Levi`: I am not familiar with Kubuntu, Just check it up. === Bardosity is now known as Bardology [16:02] I am having two disks that don't have entries as /dev/sdXY. They do list in lshw as "UNCLAIMED". How can I create the /dev/sdXY entries for these disks? [16:02] RobLikesBrunch, put it in fstab and have it mount by UUID [16:02] epinky: I ran the command as root [16:02] ganymede: What's "UUID"? [16:03] !uuid [16:03] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [16:03] !rus [16:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about rus [16:03] hi, how to limit max screen resolution system wide? [16:03] aiwata55: it didn't work (as root)? [16:03] ðóññêèå çäåñü åñòü? [16:03] RobLikesBrunch, do ls /dev/disk/by-uuid and you will find the uuids of your drives [16:03] ðóññêèå â ïðèâàò! [16:03] epinky: no [16:04] Okay, thanks everyone. So the UUID serves as an identifier? [16:04] RobLikesBrunch, sudo vol_id /dev/sda1 also works [16:04] RobLikesBrunch, are you mounting a network drive over samba/cifs ? [16:04] joeyeye: No, automatically mounting a drive on start-up [16:04] aiwata55: Try another source and refresh . [16:04] RobLikesBrunch, yes, UUID are more robust than mounting by device name since the device name might change if the device is plugged in in a different order [16:04] ganymede: Aha, thanks. [16:04] shuaikun: you mean, build phpmyadmin from the source? [16:04] Hi [16:05] RobLikesBrunch, by the way, i'm assuming you're plugging in a block device such as an external hard disk [16:05] Anyone familiar with USB wired ADSL router/modem setup in 9.10? (lsusb) 'sees' the port, properly sees it as Westell (327w), but I can't get networking to establish a connection. I probably need a driver, but Westell/Linksys don't have drivers for Linux. [16:05] I have a small problem, I don't know if this is the right channel to ask in [16:05] aiwata55: apt-get update , already performed? [16:05] RobLikesBrunch, and the problem you have is that it doesn't automount until you get to the desktop [16:05] !ask | x_link [16:05] x_link: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:05] epinky: yes [16:05] But when I connect my 22" monitor to my laptop I get really really bad picture. [16:05] hi - in 9.10 all my drives are just named 'XXXGB Drive' on the desktop and in nautilus - any way to get the proper names to show again (they are still there if I do right click - properties) [16:05] ganymede: No, the problem is I have to authenticate it to get it to mount, and I want this to occur automatically on start-up [16:05] RobLikesBrunch, and you'd like to it to mount even if the gdm welcome screen is still up [16:05] I did it with "xrandr --output VGA --auto" [16:06] RobLikesBrunch, sorry, then i misunderstood your problem, what kind of mount is this? samba/cifs? [16:06] aiwata55: what's the exact error you got? [16:06] ganymede: Err.... [16:07] hi guys, how do I time how long a command took? [16:07] ganymede: NTFS :D? [16:07] does anyone know of a way to get the latest version of /etc/init.d/lirc ??? i tried uninstalling lirc and then reinstalling it, but that didnt do it [16:07] Anybody= [16:07] ? [16:07] BlueEagle, the device names should be made automatically. maybe check dmesg or syslog or something to see why they didn't get device names? [16:07] actually it is "320 GB Filesystem" that is the current name - please help me get the proper parittion name!

[16:08] aiwata55: !pastebin | aiwata55 [16:08] !pastebin | aiwata55 [16:08] aiwata55: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

It just pops up with the password dialogue--the same one required for anything in the "Administration" window [16:08] Anyone here use Nvidia x.ord v96 driver? [16:08] RobLikesBrunch, is this drive physically connected ? What kind of drive are we talking about ? [16:08] ganymede: I am guessing it is remnants from an old raid array that is causing this. I have tried blacklisting dm_raid45 and xor modules, but they still get loaded. [16:08] joeyeye: Internal, SATA [16:09] sorry for the flood [16:09] anyway I can know how long a command took to execute? [16:09] how do i turn of that drum sound at the login screen? [16:09] hey im setting up virtual host.. i have hello world.com and batman.com and want them both to go the karma.com ... can i put those to in the apache 2 setup under server aliases? [16:09] RobLikesBrunch, yeah, so just put an entry in /etc/fstab to get it to automount by UUID. /etc/fstab should already have UUID examples since it mounts / by UUID [16:09] anyone can tell me where i can find all the terminal commands..? [16:09] kinda like domain forwarding? [16:09] !terminal | toffan [16:09] toffan: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

For package upgrades, can i set them up to cache the upgrades locally, so that they all download them from one machine? I don't want to have to create a full local mirror though. [16:11] epinky, shuaikun: so, "apt-get install phpmyadmin" should work even on 9.10? [16:11] gnudoc, try apt-cacher or apt-miror [16:11] *apt-mirror [16:11] oh, isee [16:11] ganymede: I have no idea how to approach this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/324449/ [16:12] the minimise buttons and close button are all missing using the nvidia 96 driver, and mx440 [16:12] epinky: http://paste.ubuntu.com/324451/ [16:12] RobLikesBrunch, have you ever used fstab before? [16:13] ganymede: Actually that removed the symptoms and hid the problem. :) [16:13] ganymede: No, but I'm looking through documentation right now. I'll try to figure it out and if I have problems I'll annoy you with them :D [16:13] how do I time how long a command took to finish? [16:13] anyone have any idea why the elflord colorscheme's background color won't show up in VIM? (it works fine in GVIM) [16:13] unwedged85: thanks a lot, apt-cacher looks about right [16:13] unwedged85: time [16:13] Anyone familiar with USB wired ADSL router/modem setup in 9.10?

[16:14] mdwright, thanks, but how about commands with options? 'command' doesn't work... [16:14] please I really need to be able to switch users. I've looked every where for this. [16:14] unwedged85: It does, just tried it. Command is YOUR command [16:15] kermit_: Are you having any trouble with the upgraded system? [16:15] thrope: Would this guide help you? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive [16:15] hi there, i wanna ask. i already upgrade 9.04 to 9.10 should i doing clean installation [16:15] RobLikesBrunch, by the way, if you're mounting an NTFS drive, i think there might some complications because NTFS doesn't have a native kernel driver, it's a so-called FUSE driver so i don't know if that has any ramifications when using fstab [16:15] unwedged: you should be able to ignore time from there, so `time cp file /newlocation/file` for example [16:15] Buenas A Todos [16:15] unwedged85: sorry, missed the 85, see above [16:15] !es | VeNeZoLaNo [16:15] VeNeZoLaNo: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

The wiki seems to suggest HAL, ie. create an .fdi file and restart; but when I run synclient it still claims SHMConfig is disabled. Also, xinput list doesn't list any Synaptics, ALPS or touchpad. I get "ADB Mouse" and "Macintosh mouse button emulation" instead. Ideas? [16:16] kermit_: Do you need the new features offered by ext4? [16:16] unwedged85: :D [16:16] unwedged85: time ./abc [16:17] shuaikun, yeah, I just saw that "time dpkg -l" works fine [16:17] i think yes, but there are lot of programs i already installed like ubuntuzilla, pidgin etc [16:17] epinky: thank you for the advice, but I don't understand the Unix terms at all [16:17] unwedged85: Glad to help! [16:17] Hi, what's the best way to upgrade to Karmic on a command-line-only machine? [16:17] khensthoth: ah great thanks... (they're not usb which is why i didn't find it - but partition label solves it) [16:18] Will apt-get dist-upgrade do it? [16:18] aiwata55: did you enter Synaptic? [16:18] kermit_: Your settings are all in your home folder which should ideally be on a separate partition. As such they would not be affected by an upgrade. [16:18] FoolsRun, sudo do-release-upgrade [16:18] kermit_: (that would also leave your old file system un-upgraded). [16:18] BluesKaj: will that install packages that weren't previously installed, like GDM? [16:18] kermit_: did you read: http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-upgrade-from-ext3-to-ext4-without-formatting-the-hard-disk/2009/04/21 [16:19] ganymede: Does this seem right: UUID="AA6638EB6638BA41" /media/media ntfs and I'm unsure about the ntfs option, as you said... [16:19] yeah i already upgrade into karmic, but i think i need ext 4 [16:19] mdwright, this may sound stupid, but do I add the system, user and sys values? [16:19] FoolsRun, no , it looks at your apps and upgrades [16:19] RobLikesBrunch, that looks too short to be a UUID, and also, i think you want to use "ntfs-3g" and not "ntfs" and also, the rest of the line is missing [16:19] BluesKaj: awesome. Thanks! [16:19] kermit_: Did you read the link? [16:20] RobLikesBrunch, use sudo vol_id to get the UUID, it's it should be this long and have hyphens like this: a4bad350-aab8-4be8-ac08-9f5ee398ee98 [16:20] spinky: i entered "Synaptic" but that command was not found [16:21] aiwata55: I know this is a bit outdated but the procedure is similar for Karmic 9.10 , check this and try http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-enable-the-universe-and-multiverse-repositories-in-ubuntu-804-hardy.html [16:21] i am opening rite now [16:21] kermit_: To be able to upgrade the system disk that disk can not be mounted. This means that you would need to run off a live cd like Knoppix or the Ubuntu desktop installer cd. [16:21] RobLikesBrunch, you probably want this under the options columnn: "defaults,locale=en_US.utf8,auto", and you want 0 in both the dump and pass column [16:22] ganymede: sudo: vol_id: command not found [16:22] i already hv new karmic cd [16:22] Anything that deals with the filesystem hack always involve certain risks. While we have tested it out and get it working on our systems, there is no guarantee that it will work for you. We shall not be responsible for any data loss or hard disk crash. Before you try this, please remember to BACKUP your system and important files.

[16:22] ganymede RobLikesBrunch : vol_id in karmic has been surperseded by blkid command [16:22] Hello [16:22] kermit_: I would not do this to my /home folder unless I had just made a backup. [16:23] Ugh, regarding my iBook G4 with ADB mouse -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=380884 seems to suggest patching the kernel (but these guys are using 8.04 and less)... [16:23] unwedged85: no each one has a different meaning. the first gives the real time from when you called it to when it exited, the second gives you the user CPU time, and the third system CPU time [16:23] kermit_: ...and I just recovered the partition table of two disks from a previous raid array that was over written.

I can get a host to point to an IP, but I can't get that IP to point to the host if that makes any sense [16:24] http://paste.ubuntu.com/324459/ that looks a bit wrong? I want to see my CPU temperaure [16:24] RobLikesBrunch, but then again, i've never used NTFS, i've only used ext3 and xfs, i guess just try with the short UUID and see if it works [16:24] ganymede: i have that UUID's on my nfts partitions [16:25] ganymede: kind like it's filesystem specific [16:25] RobLikesBrunch, also, i don't think you have a dump and pass column in that line you pasted to me [16:25] I'm in Ubuntu 9.10, and the elflord colorscheme doesn't seem to be displaying properly in VIM, but works just fine in GVIM. In particular, I think its just the background thats not displaying. Any ideas? [16:25] hmmm i wil not upgrade into ext 4 [16:25] Ganymede: I don't know what those are...I stole the options from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [16:25] exoo: Do you have anything useful in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ ? [16:26] Ganymede: What does it mean to "dump" a filesystem? [16:26] RobLikesBrunch, you probably need " 0 0" at the end, 0 for dump and 0 for pass [16:26] hello [16:26] BlueEagle, anyhing useful? Oh i have to look in this folder? [16:26] One Momen [16:26] ganymede: Okay. UUID="AA6638EB6638BA41" /media/media ntfs-3g auto,user,ro,auto,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0 [16:26] RobLikesBrunch, i honestly have never known what the dump is and i've always used 0 [16:26] one moment [16:26] ganymede: That looks good? [16:26] ganymede: Haha xD [16:27] RobLikesBrunch, your options list has "auto,user" twice but that's not probably much of a problem [16:27] Why are the descriptions of Software Updates so lame? [16:27] RobLikesBrunch, otherwise, it looks line [16:27] ganymede: Crap, didn't even notice XD [16:27] BlueEagle, there is one folder THNZ [16:27] THZN sorry [16:27] bryy [16:27] ganymede: Okay, let me log out and log in to see if it works. [16:28] RobLikesBrunch, unmount your NTFS thing using sudo umount i guess, and then run "mount -a" as a user to see if mounts it automatically [16:28] do anyone run into such a problem as me? : I plug in external monitor, there is no display, so I click "display" to change configuration, but I lost display on both screen, but it seems the external monitor is activated, although nothing shows up.... I had to do hard power off....:'( [16:28] [16:28] Because a simple webpage of weekly updates, formatted in clear English, would be a huge improvement to this ridiculous scrolled table of gibberish. [16:28] ganymede: Or that. [16:28] RobLikesBrunch, you should be able to just sudo mount -a [16:28] ganymede: okay. [16:28] hey guys, whats a good password manager for ubuntu? [16:28] RobLikesBrunch, if "mount -a" mounts the NTFS thing, then it'll most likely automount upon reboot [16:28] exoo: And in that directory?

I will try that. but is there a way to avoid hard power off if the display disappear? [16:32] RobLikesBrunch, where what went? [16:32] country0129: Is it possible to connect via Ethernet? [16:32] because it's too warm for 16C [16:33] Yessir, but there's precious little concerning how to set it up with USB, and I can't find a driver for the Westell 327W that works with Linux. [16:33] mikejet: you need the restricted codecs.. perhaps the gstreamer-ugly package.. [16:33] ganymede: Well. The drive vanished. [16:33] RobLikesBrunch, as in...it's not in /dev anymore? [16:33] No, Khensthoth. I don't have a jack for ethernet on my computer. [16:33] exoo: Hang on... Your paste cites the sensor active to be "Virtual device"... That doesn't sound like something that would provide any real life temperature tbh. [16:33] ganymede: I changed the mount point from /media/media to /dev/sda [16:33] /dev/sda1* [16:33] exoo: Are you running a nVidia chipset or some aBit uGuru mojo? [16:33] scunizi, I am so done with installing obscure packages, or suggestions like that. Hey, just run apt-get install wild-goose [16:34] ganymede: and there is no "sda1" in /dev/ [16:34] country0129: usb nic, 30 bux maybe [16:34] RobLikesBrunch, wait, i don't think you want to do that... [16:34] !restricted | mikejet [16:34] mikejet: 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 [16:34] ganymede: Well it didn't mount with /media/media [16:34] Just wondering if anyone knows if there's going to be a karmic minimalist install release coming? [16:34] now everybody should really see this -> http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tv/TED-India-Pranav-Mistry/videoshow_ted/5231080.cms [16:34] RobLikesBrunch, did /media/media exist? [16:34] scunizi, Is there a webpage on ubuntu.com that explains that in clear English? [16:34] how to set up an irc server on linux ubuntu [16:34] No :D [16:34] I know, Sir. Even less someplaces, but I'd really like to get it started like this until about February or so. [16:34] roblikesbrunch: You do NOT want to mount any device in the /dev directory. [16:34] RobLikesBrunch, sudo mkdir -p /media/media [16:35] BlueEagle: Why :(? [16:35] country0129: How about wireless? I've been searching online for a linux driver for that since you first asked and I haven't found any. Not sure if it exist at all. [16:35] mikejet: go ahead and read the ubottu link.. wmv & wma re restricted packages because they have licensing attached to them.. [16:35] I am also done with hunting in these asinine forum webpage blogs that inevitably show you material from 2002. [16:35] RobLikesBrunch, mount point column is the TARGET, not the source. it shouldn't even let you mount onto a block device... [16:35] roblikesbrunch: Because that is where the device notes live and mounting a device node in there would most likely cause inexplicable bugs later. [16:35] scunizi, I saw nothing about that when I did the Ubuntu install. [16:35] I'm hooked up wireless on this laptop and two other netbooks. The router worked just fine for WindowsMe. Through USB. [16:36] information != data [16:36] mikejet: you wouldn't.. ubuntu can't put those codecs in default because of their licensing [16:36] not a lolcat dude === waltlis is now known as jim234 [16:36] BlueEagle ganymede: Ah. Right. [16:36] just see that once [16:36] RobLikesBrunch, when you mount via fstab, you want the source directory to already exist [16:36] And I've not found a driver either for this version of Ubuntu. [16:36] ganymede: How do I unmount it? [16:36] RobLikesBrunch, i meant, the target directory === nozes is now known as nozes_off [16:36] ganymede: Or, how do I undo my /dev/sda1/ nosense? [16:37] country0129: Yea, it's a little difficult when it comes to driver issues in Linux. === nozes_off is now known as nozes_desligado [16:37] does anyone know of a way to get the latest version of /etc/init.d/lirc ??? i tried uninstalling lirc and then reinstalling it, but that didnt do it [16:37] Why is totem installed by default when totem is broken by default. [16:37] RobLikesBrunch, to unmount the NTFS thing, you can use sudo umount /media/media, or sudo umount /dev/sda1, or just umount /media/media as a user might work [16:37] My big problem is I'm a Linux newby. Fairly good with Windoze and Dos, but really haven't much of a clue in Linux. [16:37] mikejet: totem is not broken by default [16:37] RobLikesBrunch, and as for /dev/sda1 not being there anymore...i don't know...it shouldn't disappear [16:37] mikejet, because it can't play your wmv doesnt mean it's broken [16:37] RobLikesBrunch, is /dev/sda there? [16:37] BlueEagle, i looked it up its a Inel Chipset [16:37] ganymede: Okay..that works. [16:37] mikejet: I've been reinstalling a winxp machine for a neighbor.. I'm going on 3 hrs at this point and still not done doing all the updates prior to actually installing any programs.. so looking for codecs for ubuntu or another linux is minor by comparrison.. at least for me. [16:37] mikejet, add the necessaru codecs and it will play wmvs [16:37] ganymede: Nope...but it said it unmounteded [16:38] spiderworm: try purging it when you uninstall ? [16:38] ganymede: and with /media/media it worked perfectly :D [16:38] I just got a replacement laptop, same hardware, because of a physical flaw in the first one. What's the best way to replicate my Ubuntu install to the new laptop? I don't want to swap hard drives because the new one has Win 7, and I'd rather screw with Ubuntu than with upgrading Vista->7. [16:38] RobLikesBrunch, so everything is fine and there are no remaining problems? [16:38] ganymede: Yup :D [16:38] RobLikesBrunch, cool [16:38] ganymede: Thanks. [16:38] mikejet, but you are complaining all the time, instead of reading the documentation [16:38] Billiard, wont that purge all my config files, including the ones i want to keep? is there a way to just purge the one file? [16:38] country0129: Well, usually Linux comes with all the drivers, and installing extra drivers usually means getting down and dirty with lots of command line, except you are installing pre-packaged drivers. [16:38] ericdb: copy the paritions over with pasrtimage ? (does not support ext4 though) then install grub in the mbr [16:38] Window7 is painless. First OS that they've put out since 95 that actually works well. [16:39] kostkon, Do you have a link to "The Documentation" ? [16:39] spiderworm: move it somewhere else, then install maybe [16:39] cli FTW! [16:39] erUSUL: ext4 is the case, though, so that's out. [16:40] mikejet, help.ubuntu.com. for codecs [16:40] Khensthoth, I'm probably going to install an NIC, but I'm also going to get a new 'puter in a few months; so I don't want to invest a lot of money or time on this dinosaur.

[17:16] whammo: nope, just make sure you do a backup of grub.conf [17:16] billiard: i chaned it nothing happened [17:16] Hi all. I am trying to get avahi to work. I have 3 machines on my network, each machine can "see" itself, but not the other 2. The documentation on avahi seems sparse at best. Anyone around here know how to troubleshoot avahi or where I can find some decent resources. [17:16] epinky: sounds good to me. thanks! [17:16] sirkikiman: after you restarted x server?

I found out about dpkg-reconfigure console-setup. [17:17] because it is the problem -.- [17:17] It gives me a huge list of keyboards, none of which is specifically mine [17:17] sharok: it messed up on its own?

Twice now I've been playing Klondike while firefox downloads a file in the background, and it's just randomly logged me out of gnome. [17:18] The first time, it also stopped responding to input. [17:18] and grub has not some ubuntu things in it [17:18] Does anyone have any idea what's going on or how to fix it? [17:18] * i mean i installed to RAID not faid haha. please help [17:18] what the heck do I need to do to get my keyboard working? [17:18] i tried to paste the config of someone else but i get another error [17:19] isolat3dsh33p: Go to System > Preferences > Sound. Change to the Input tab. Tap on your microphone, or speak into it. If the bar on the "Input level" do not move, the microphone isn't configured properly yet. [17:19] ami_: "sudo apt-get install nginx" already done? if so then "sudo cat /etc/passwd | grep nginx" to find out [17:19] i need the kernel file and the argument -.- [17:19] omg [17:20] so i'm trying to install 9.10 server ed. And regardless of what setup I choose I come to "please insert the disc labeled ubuntu server 9.10 _karmic koala_ - release amd64 (20091027.2) in the '/cdrom/'. I've installed a freshly downloaded iso? and there's no other files to download. what fucking cd is the setup talking about? [17:20] sharok: try to restore the backup list? [17:20] what backup list [17:20] khensthoth, that does not work. So how can i configure the mic correctly? [17:20] sharok: usually creates a backup in /boot/grub [17:20] hello [17:20] it has been overwritten? [17:21] sharok: thats a question? [17:21] epinky: i did install nginx and configure it [17:21] oh man this is creepy, if I type a quote it does not show until I type another char after that [17:21] but doing sudo cat /etc/passwd | grep nginx returns nothing [17:21] no [17:21] Anybody heard anything about samba shares not working with 9.10? [17:21] nocleader: me :) [17:21] sharok: how did it get overwritten [17:22] hai all. i just got ubuntu up and running on my emachine. and whenever i play an mp3 the sound comes out really crappy. im using the audacious media player manly. but the problem persists on others as well. system sounds are fine. and when i change the output plugin to the oss output it work for that song before i have to change it to soething else and change it back [17:22] by my new os [17:22] new grub [17:22] ROBOd ... where you just in samba channel? [17:22] nocleader: yep :P [17:22] :) [17:22] ami_: then user nginx is not there, "adduser nginx" to add it [17:22] sharok: you used the same /boot for your 2nd OS ? [17:23] no [17:23] ami_: "sudo adduser nginx" , sry [17:23] sharok: then how did the 2nd os overwrite the grub menu list backup [17:23] i can use the apache one [17:23] because it installed its own grub [17:23] which is www -data [17:23] it works [17:24] sharok: but it doesnt go in the /boot you your other os unless you mounted it there [17:24] sharok: try update-grub ? [17:24] I wonder if it's firefox screwing up when it finishes the download? [17:24] ami_: you mean "www-data" ? (without space) [17:25] Billiard: i think grub2 made a trouble [17:25] epinky: i meant user is www group is data [17:26] is there a way to get newer nvidia drivers installed then what ubuntu offers? [17:26] ami_: ok :) [17:26] digitalfiz: maybe via envyng [17:26] digitalfiz: you can download from nvidias website but i dont recomend it [17:27] i wanted to change the res of my ttys google says edit ur /boot/grub/menu.lst but i got tons of files in that folder but no menu.lst -.- [17:27] Is grub2 essensial? [17:27] Parsi_: you can use grub instead [17:27] Parsi_: it dep [17:27] Parsi_: it depends [17:27] Parsi_: you do need to have some sort of bootloader [17:28] how can I make sure that grub is configured correctly? [17:28] Parsi_: when it boots? [17:28] does any1 here have a ati radeon 5850 with the catalyst 9.11 driver and have issues/performance with 3d in ubuntu Karmic ? [17:28] Billiard: no, now. [17:28] its not the same grub version -.- [17:29] Parsi_: how did you configure it [17:29] Parsi: multiboot system? [17:29] Billiard: I installed grub2, then removed it, dunno what happened now [17:29] epinky: yes [17:29] hi everybody... is it possible to set the user password that is only 5 chars long? When I try to do it with the gnome interface or with "passwd" in the terminal, it says the password is too short... was this changed with 9.10? Because on a system I set up with 9.04 I was even able to take a password that was only 4 chars long. [17:30] evident: If you use 'sudo passwd ', it will override restrictions. [17:30] Parsi_: here's my experience of Grub2. Use the startup manager from the repos to set the resolution. It is designed for Grub (v1), but Grub2 seems to take on the settings to change the resolution. I had a nightmare setting my tty res, but the startup manager seems to work (albeit with a small message about the res command being depreciated but compensated for). [17:30] Parsi_: you could do a grub-install and specify your boot device to make sure its good [17:30] hi guys ..does any1 here have a ati radeon 5850 with the catalyst 9.11 driver and have issues/performance with 3d in ubuntu Karmic ? if so .. can u paste me your xorg.conf for me pls . [17:30] i tried checking if it was my driver because with windows the emachines need a certain driver for the audio to work but thats not it. any advice at all? [17:30] sorry to ask again but there is no-one awake on the #ps3 channel, i'm new to linux and i'm decided to give putting ubuntu on the PS3, but seems i'm having a problem, anyone want to help?

[17:57] corey: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports.

[17:57] corey: you do realize that KDE represents the bulk of one's operating environment, and it's unrealistic to just "download it and run it"...? [17:57] from another os yeah [17:58] corey: then if you want it, install it from the repositories [17:58] !kde > corey (corey, see the private message from ubottu) [17:58] sshc: in those directions you showed me it says "Tell grub what drive it should install itself to (press space bar to select a drive and don't continue without selecting one)" what exactly is it talking about? [17:58] sharok: try chroot /mountpointtobrokenubuntu then grub-mkconfig [17:58] Billiard: now the visual effects when i turn the on dont work [17:58] corey: then install it from repositories as LjL says. in ubuntu is easy you install the kubuntu-desktop metapackage [17:58] is there a hardware hacking channel ?

[18:51] khensthoth, k [18:51] Why is my preferred application for multimedia (vlc) not working in Nautilus? OGG files still try to open with "Movie Player". [18:51] in fact, I have an old Redhat 9 install that has, in KDE, a keybaord shortcuts config applet that has "keyboard themes" and XFCE and Redmond are options... miss that [18:51] Hi all! [18:51] pianolende1: Are you looking at linux from scratch? [18:51] BlueEagle: Xubuntu? Haven't tried that one is it Xfce? [18:51] keiya: I thought Launchpad already has a link for that; "This bug affects me too" [18:51] hel me with dhcp3-server. [18:51] How do i have different wall papers in a dual screen setup, in non-mirror mode [18:52] Fraxtil, right click and select vlc, also: [18:52] !defaultapp [18:52] To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. [18:52] d4non: :| well. for now on you will have to tinker with the programs to recover files maybe on images of the separate partitions to try to recover the imortant data [18:52] pianolende1: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ [18:52] Here comes the flames... Anyone know how to fix the delay in Caps-Lock? "THe QUick Brown Fox Jumped Over THe Lazy DOgs Back" [18:52] Billiard: http://paste.ubuntu.com/324684/ [18:52] grawity: Not that I saw [18:52] lordvorp: It runs on XFCE4, yes. [18:52] how can i customize dhcp3-server that he would not interfere with the primary server? [18:52] Billiard: like that [18:52] OIt has " This bug doesn't affect me" but not the inverse [18:52] eXeC001er: exclude your primary servers IP from the range [18:53] erUSUL how do I recover to an external drive sdb using dd? [18:53] sirkikiman: yeah try that [18:53] thief: I've tried selecting VLC in the "Open With -> Other Application..." menu, it's in the submenu for "Open With" now, but I'd still like it to be the main choice. [18:53] n3oinc: I have not had that problem. Then Again I Use Shift And Not CapsLock When Writing Single Uppercase Letters. [18:53] pianolende1: no, in the beginning I wanted to build an Ubuntu system which could run on my laptop [18:53] Fraxtil, then read what the bot said above for !defaultapp [18:53] thief: that's exactly what I did, but it's still not the main choice, it's just in the submenu. [18:54] BlueEagle: \ no, in the beginning I wanted to build an Ubuntu system which could run on my laptop [18:54] my sound does not work:( [18:54] keiya: "This bug doesn't affect me [Change]" [18:54] BlueEagle: Heard, I know... I've developed alot of speed over the years though, and I do not know if I would be able to retrain without lots and lots of effort [18:54] I've setup thunderbird to download all the emails from a remote inbox. Anyone know how I can now download the emails that are in non-Inbox folders? [18:54] ikonia: no. i need to realise PXE Boot server, but our network have primary DHCP. [18:54] Oooohhhhh.... [18:54] * keiya <_ Parsi: did it work at all, log in sound for example did you ever hear that? [18:54] eXeC001er: then use a different ip range and in your pxe image set the dhcp servers address [18:54] None knows how to make Firefox use Magnet links [18:55] Sorry, then. Ah, well. you learn over time. [18:55] sebsebseb: yes, no sound at all === EntityReborn_ is now known as EntityReborn [18:55] what is a good way to BATCH convert a folder filled with .odt files to .pdf? [18:55] n3oinc: I'm sorry for this naive question, but why would you want to capitalize the first letter of every word? [18:55] Bloody hell, how hard can it be to open port3306 [18:55] Fraxtil, then read more carefully. it's NOT 'right click / open with', it is 'right click, PROPERTIES, open with tab, then change'' [18:55] eXeC001er: or even better use your existing dhcp server [18:55] Parsi: lap top or desk top? [18:55] Bardology: open it in what ? [18:55] !language | bardology [18:55] bardology: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

Enjoy your stay! [18:55] :( [18:55] thief: oh, that makes sense.

[18:56] Zargle: worth a try, it may have gone wrong, it normally works fine [18:56] Parsi: well on this desktop, I get sound on log in, and then lose it later. hopefuly someone else can help you later [18:56] LjL: i meant all at once? [18:56] aar: sounds like you need more concentrated ripping software [18:56] !sound | Parsi [18:56] Parsi: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [18:56] ikonia: I've got an Amazon EC2 instance running Karmic [18:56] aar: try recoverdm [18:56] Mysql is installed but I can't get the port open to connect to it remotely [18:57] BlueEagle, I'll check it out, thanks [18:57] Bardology: I don't know what EX2 is [18:57] xgpt: i'm not sure if there is any program for that. [18:57] bardology: By default MySQL only listens to localhost. [18:57] Bardology: are you behind a firewall/router/nat/wireless? [18:57] Bardology: ahh the cloud [18:57] Parsi: it's lap tops that tend to get the sound issues or so it seems [18:57] ikonia: Oh, a machine instance on Amazon's cloud. [18:57] yup :) [18:57] aar: Best of luck. [18:57] Parsi: Try these two links (first one covers more, second is more specific w/ commands): http://drowninginbugs.blogspot.com/2009/10/caveats-for-audio-in-ubuntu-karmic-beta.html AND http://unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/525-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu910-karmic-koala [18:57] Bardology: look at the bind-address config var of my.cnf [18:57] Bardology: ubuntu doesn't have a firewall with any deny rules enabled by default, so it must be being blocked at the network level from amazon [18:57] ikonia: I need to issue addresses only for the MAC prescribed in the configuration file. [18:57] !info wv | xgpt, oh perhaps this [18:57] xgpt,: wv (source: wv): Programs for accessing Microsoft Word documents. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.4-2ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 86 kB, installed size 2132 kB [18:58] eXeC001er: configure the existing DNS server to do that, [18:58] join #ubuntu-it-chat [18:58] eXeC001er: sorry, the existing dhcp server [18:58] arand: it seems it's related to asla (i dunno what is it) [18:58] is there any gui rar archiver for ubuntu in the packages repository? [18:59] * Bardology pasted http://pastie.textmate.org/private/hvkjho61dgzgo2vmnb5mlg [18:59] thom-: the default archive manager handles rar iirc. [18:59] ikonia: This is what nmap is telling me [18:59] Bardology: specifically, /etc/mysql/my.cnf has a directive: bind-address 127.0.0.1 look at mysql.com and search for bind-address to find how to make it open "in general" [18:59] are several files would not otherwise [18:59] thom-: Be aware tho that rar is not an open source standard. If possible use gz or bz2 [18:59] LordVorp: bind-address has already been commented out [19:00] BlueEagle: ok, now I have an sda, sda3, console and null files in my new /dev, but the same happens. I have created them just by " mknod c 5 1 console" and so on. Maybe it should be done another way? [19:00] LordVorp: nmap is telling me that "3306/tcp closed mysql" [19:00] Parsi: ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) [19:00] hi guys - i'm trying to use wget to recursively download a bunch of links for a site; how do I change the behavior so that what it stores are full links, instead of like a directory structure like www.google.com (directory) -> shoppinglist?hl=en_US, when in reality i just want a link like www.google.com/shoppinglist?hl=en_US [19:00] I don't know if that means that the port is closed or mysql is locked down [19:00] Bardology: that could well be the cloud's firewall blocking it [19:00] Bardology: try sudo lsof -P | grep mysql.*LISTEN and see what address it's listening on [19:00] Bardology: nmap is not "fact" [19:01] LjL: are more than 100 files [19:01] mib_mib: I think that exact question is answered in the manual for wget [19:01] ooh [19:01] mysqld 1103 mysql 10u IPv4 7202 0t0 TCP localhost:3306 (LISTEN) [19:01] That's a clue [19:01] ok [19:01] I can see the pastebin on my ipod [19:02] but when i trype it in on my computer it fails [19:02] pastebin.com/f88af57a [19:02] Bardology: yeah, it seems to show that either: you didn't restart mysql after commenting bind-address, OR, you need a different bind-address to listen on *.*.*.* [19:02] BlueEagle: and then I have a message: switch_root: can't open /dev/console: no such file or directory [19:02] BlueEagle, is the archive manager gnome only? i'm using xfce and it does not open on doubleclick [19:03] Considering I restarted the server AND the machine instance, it was pretty well restarted ;) [19:03] pianolende1: Any particular reason why you can not run the installer on that laptop? [19:03] Bardology: OK, that was a "how to solve the problem in a vacuum" answer... mysql.com has excellent searchable docs, hint, hint, hint, hint. :) [19:03] WTF! It's uncommented... [19:03] Hmmm [19:03] thom-: You can install and run gnome-programs in xubuntu. [19:03] what should i do [19:04] Bardology: :) [19:04] thom-: However you may have to install rar-support separately. [19:06] BlueEagle: first is that installer for my architecture doesn't run on my laptop, the second is that I want to know what is wrong despite of solution's complexity, because I am interested in "what is there, below the carpet" [19:06] How do I play .avi files in Ubuntu? [19:06] ROCK! [19:06] omg, what an ordea [19:06] l [19:06] Billiard: hey everything is wiorking now but it wont let me save the settings [19:07] nokia? [19:07] ikonia [19:07] I think that the first time I commented out bind-address I didn't have permissions to save the config file and then forgot to come back and fix it again as root ;) [19:07] NuuBuntu: Have you install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package? [19:07] sirkikiman: which settings? [19:07] thanks ikonia and LordVorp [19:07] the nvidia [19:08] Zargle: back in 5 [19:08] hello ubuntu users , do you use blender ? , welcome to my site , www.3dkernel.com , for blender users ...

That will teach you alot of "under the carpet" stuff as you go and it will be less tedious and frustrating than what you're doing now. [19:08] Billiard: the nvidia [19:08] dhiaeldeen: please, don't spam this channel === ballzee is now known as Sinister [19:08] BlueEagle, do you know the name of the package which contains the gui archivemanager of a standard ubuntu installation [19:08] sirkikiman: you are trying to change more settings? try sudo nvidia-settings [19:08] thom-: aptitude search archive [19:08] BlueEagle: i see wget -B which is supposed to append the 'base' but that is only when used with the -i option from a file i thought [19:08] thom-: The last one looks promising. [19:08] Billiard: no not change just save the ones you helped me fix [19:09] Thom-: I think it's file-roller [19:09] Billiard: you want a screen shot? [19:09] sirkikiman: sure [19:09] on the lsof output I can see files opened by the bittorrent client transmission, but at the first column the name is just 'transmiss', how can I get the full name? [19:10] khensthoth, i thought i had it installed but i just re-installed it to make sure, do i have to restart before i test? [19:10] NuuBuntu: Nope. Just try to play an avi file see if it works.

[19:11] khensthoth, I got it working, using xsane [19:11] xarchiver works fine - thank you [19:11] NuuBuntu: All .avi files won't work? Or is this a specific avi.? [19:12] EntityReborn: xsane works with it? So you don't even need to install the scanner package? [19:12] Alright... Am I missing something? Why are there so many mixed opinions of 9.10? Is it really that flawed? [19:12] mib_mib: Hmm.. It looks that I was mistaking. Sorry. [19:12] billiard: http://imagebin.org/72451 [19:12] khensthoth, one of the things you told me to install did the trick [19:12] not sure which [19:12] khensthoth, i'm not sure i only have one set of avi files, but i can tell you that the same avi files work on my fiancee's computer which uses windows [19:13] EntityReborn: Hehe, good to hear that. Have fun in Ubuntu. [19:13] I'm having trouble setting up wired networking on my eeepc 1005ha. I followed http://www.jfwhome.com/2009/08/06/perfect-ubuntu-jaunty-on-the-asus-eeepc-1005ha-and-1008ha/, but the package wouldn't install, so I grabbed the kernel headers for my version (2.6.31-14-generic), but that .deb failed to build.

[19:17] NuuBuntu: *Might* be due to the specific codec that's missing. I can't be sure unless you have other avi to test with. [19:17] NuuBuntu: that being ? ogv ?

[19:21] hi [19:21] johnjohn101, no lilo is also available ... but grub is recommended [19:21] bashar: just copy the file systems across, or if the disks are identical in size, use dd [19:21] ikonia, link for ubuntu repositories, please? [19:21] Leoneof: open the package manager (synaptic) and install it from there [19:22] Leoneof, check your local installer [19:22] Leoneof, do you have a wired connection you can use temporarily [19:22] Leoneof: there is no need to compile it as ubuntu has built a version for you [19:22] hi all, does anyone know how enable restricted drivers in a livecd session? That is, a way to fool the system into thinking it restarted? [19:22] I'm having trouble setting up wired networking on my eeepc 1005ha.

I am going between machines I need to figure oout what to dwith xorg.cconf [19:22] Sylphid|netbook: no wired connection :/ [19:22] Leoneof, also you could download the .deb and save it locally but you will need to make sure you have all of the dependancies [19:22] ikonia: ok [19:22] dmglouis: no [19:22] here in 9.04 my sound works, but in 9.10 does not, can i copy sound configs to 9.10?

[19:27] TheComputerGuy: yes [19:27] bashar: you heard wrong [19:27] Cool [19:27] bashar: i heard too! [19:27] ikonia: how come? [19:27] bashar: how come what ? [19:27] bashar, 64bit can be slower in some cases === jp is now known as Guest74828 [19:28] bashar: for converting and mathematics yes [19:28] ikonia: how come 64bit is not faster for new laptops [19:28] anyone know how to make mencoder skip all subtitles when encoding from source mkv? seems to pick one and hardcode it in output when i don't specify anything [19:28] !w32codecs [19:28] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [19:28] well i dont convert nor mathematics, i'm internet oriented user [19:28] Parsi: What your output of lspci | grep audio [19:28] bashar: nothing for you [19:28] bashar: because you won't be doing anything that will stress the machine enough to warrent it, plus unless you have 4 gig of ram or more you won't see a difference === avelldiroll_ is now known as avelldiroll [19:29] high usage of firefox/thunderbird/openoffice/ssh/skype/chrome/tweetdeck [19:29] khensthoth: let me come with 9.10, it's 9.04 livecd [19:29] i can't hear streaming video, can anyone help? [19:29] ikonia: i have 4GB and installed server kernel to see them all [19:29] bashar: then you won't see a difference [19:29] kraitos: Streaming audio from where? [19:29] bashar: 64bit will allow you to not need the server kernel though [19:30] khensthoth, from any site, i can see the videos but i can't hear them. please help [19:30] ikonia: because in the past when i installed 64bit i had little bit of hard time getting some stuff working , stuff were as simple as flash player for firefox so i went backto 32bit, but now been told its no longer an issue [19:31] bashar: it's not better / worse than it has been in the last 18 months [19:31] bashar, which are the server kernel ubuntu packages names ? [19:31] anyone know how i can work around a limitation in my newsgroup account? it says i can't login from multiple ip address, but i share the account with a friend, i thought since the news server gave me 20 connections, i could use 10 and he could use 10, but now only one of us can connect at a time [19:31] Does anybody have experience with netbooks+ubuntu? How does openoffice run? Is the screen too small to do real work? [19:31] bashar: no [19:31] kraitos: Can you enter alsamixer in a terminal, and check if PCM is muted? [19:31] bashar: sorry - not you [19:31] is there anyway to work around this so it spoofs the newsserver into thinking we're both on the same ip? [19:31] billybigrigger: no [19:31] ikonia: so ill stick to 32bit then :) thanks [19:31] ikonia, thanks for the blunt answer [19:31] :P [19:31] nztal: found the steps online on a blog [19:32] bashar: 64bit would mean you don't need the server kernel, which is a good step [19:32] billybigrigger: i don't see how this is an ubuntu support question in the least. [19:32] emma: he was asking if ubuntu could do it [19:32] ikonia: but if it makes me lose other stuff i'm used too installing server kernel is not an issue :) [19:32] khensthoth, it was on zero. could that be the problem? [19:32] bashar: your call [19:32] billybigrigger: and there are ways you could potentially do that, this just isn't the place to talk about how. [19:32] bashar, do you happen to have the url ? [19:33] kraitos: probably. Try to load your audio stream again see if it works [19:33] anyone here tried using open-iscsi on karmic? [19:33] Is there a way to disable upstart jobs like GDM without resorting to editing their scripts? [19:33] khensthoth, alright hold on. [19:33] nztal: i did it a year ago, just google "ubuntu 4gb ram" [19:33] ikonia: he could set up his ubuntu machine as a proxy so that the website in question sees all trafic coming from that machine. no? === noneNN is now known as GuestnumeroX [19:33] nztal: here u go http://samiux.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/how-to-use-4-gb-ram-on-a-32-bit-ubuntu/ , sudo apt-get install linux-server linux-headers-server [19:33] emma: depends if both him and his collegue want to use a proxies, but spoofing - no [19:34] khensthoth, how do i exit from that terminal screen [19:34] kraitos: "exit" [19:34] kraitos: Press Esc twice [19:34] boa tarde a todos, alguem sabe me inf como instalo o flash mx no ubuntu 9.10 [19:34] marcoacs, Use o wine [19:34] khensthoth, got it, thanks. ill get back to you in a minute [19:34] the sound icon disappeared from the top left corner of the gnome-panel, how to get it back? [19:34] ok valeu [19:34] marcoacs, Entre num terminal e digite "apt-get install wine" [19:35] ikonia: what about if his friend portforwards through his machine? [19:35] if i have windows license can i install it inside virtualbox ?

[19:35] billybigrigger: actually, if you could set up a proxy server, and have your friend connect THRU YOU (and share your bandwidth) then you could have both of you appear from the same IP to the news server [19:35] bashar, usually 1 licence = 1 installation [19:36] bashar: If you have bought the boxed version, probably. If your XP came with your laptop/desktop, the license prohibits that. [19:36] i have a ubuntu computer that is showing up on my network, has the interface configured - gets an ip from dhclient, pingable from another computer and the computer in question can ping the other computer on the network. NO internet whatsoever however. what could be goingwrong? [19:36] hey all, is there anyone here who has successfully gotten evolution to pull contacts from a global catalog server? any help would be appreciated, thanks [19:36] what about if i format my installed version [19:36] and re-use it on virtualbox [19:36] khensthoth, i tryed youtube and i could hear anything. [19:36] thats one installtion [19:36] khensthoth: what was that command? [19:37] and it came with my laptop not boxed version [19:37] kraitos: So it's solved now? [19:37] Oh, sorry [19:37] Parsi: lspci | grep audio === chaky_ is now known as chaky [19:37] khensthoth, sorry i ment to say i couldn't hear it. [19:37] khensthoth: nothing! [19:38] khensthoth: it just go the next line [19:38] bashar: Still no, because you agreed to the EULA of Microsoft - which is why the free software movement oppose that kind of license. [19:38] hello, anyone could spare a moment to help me with installing software in ubuntu? [19:38] billybigrigger: altho you would actually end up spending twice the bandwidth, because your machine would be connected to the news servers (one set) and the back to your friend (the other set), leaving whatever remains for YOUR traffic [19:38] bashar: take that chat to ##windows please. [19:38] damienov: please ask [19:38] !software > damienov [19:38] looks like a big "no", apparently you cannot disable upstart jobs :( [19:38] damienov, please see my private message [19:38] FoolsRun: yes you can [19:39] ikonia: short of editing their scripts? [19:39] i've screwed up my vidoe driver. [19:39] now my display is flickering. [19:39] FoolsRun: yes, update-rc.d [19:39] it seems i skip the APT(?) when installing ubuntu and the software list is all outdated somehow [19:39] khensthoth, could you help me out i still can't hear streaming video. [19:39] is there a way for me to update the spt? [19:39] hello all [19:39] ikonia: all the reading I've done says that rc.d is unrelated to upstart... [19:39] damienov: what do you mean outdated [19:39] ok grato... estou entrando agora no linux [19:39] Parsi: Then it probably means your soundcard is not recognised in Ubuntu. Hmm, If you go to Hardware Drivers, are there any drivers for your device? [19:39] damienov: if your apt setup is pointed to the correct repositories, then: sudo apt-get update will get you current [19:39] any WiCd experts on? [19:39] all the software sait its not maintained anymore [19:39] khensthoth: no === XVampireX_ is now known as XVampireX [19:40] damienov: which version of ubuntu ? [19:40] i need a urgent solution....video driver need to be installed. i've integrated with motherbaord ati xpress 200 , which driver i should install and how?? please.......... [19:40] FoolsRun: update-rc.d adds/removes the init script used by upstart [19:40] kraitos: When you were in alsamixer just now, did you adjust the level of volume for PCM to max? [19:40] damienov: and then if you get your repositories updated w/ apt-get update, then you can get "current" on packages with: apt-get upgrade [19:40] FoolsRun: so it enables/disables the script in essance [19:40] using the terminal yes? [19:40] khensthoth, yes [19:40] !search old-releases [19:40] Parsi: Search around in the forum or in Google then, sorry couldn't be of much help. [19:40] Found: [19:40] !64bit [19:40] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information.

[19:41] 9.10 [19:41] dno: as always, don't ask to ask, just ask [19:41] carmic [19:41] kraitos: So these are all flash videos we are talking about right? Normal audio files play okay I presume? [19:41] Oh [19:42] damienov: OK have you run: apt-get update ? [19:42] not yet [19:42] how? [19:42] using the terminal? [19:42] khensthoth, right [19:42] damienov: at the shell, in the terminal, type: sudo apt-get update [19:43] got it :) [19:43] All, I installed WiCD and when I try to set either WEP or WPA or WPA2 I can no longer connect. But unsecured, it connects. Any thoughts? [19:43] kraitos: Which version of Ubuntu are you on? [19:43] damienov: your other option is to run synaptic and click "reload", which does the same thing [19:43] khensthoth, 9.10 [19:43] Anyone [19:43] thanks for the help guys :) [19:43] LordVorp, ya i don't care about bandwidth [19:43] how can i set my laptop up as a wirless access point? I have a broadcom BCM4311(rev. 1) [19:43] LordVorp, the news server is unlimited bandwidth [19:43] using 9.10 and Wicd 1.6.1 [19:43] i need a urgent solution....video driver need to be installed. i've integrated with motherbaord ati xpress 200 , which driver i should install and how?? please.......... [19:44] billybigrigger: yeah but I'm talking about YOUR bandwidth being used. If you have lots, then no worries [19:44] no worries [19:44] and how is it not an ubuntu support question? [19:44] :) [19:44] kraitos: Have you tried installing the flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound package? [19:45] the concept of virtualbox if an installed OS it can't be run inside virutalbox ? i have to reinstall it? [19:45] I just installed 9.10 (got CDs in the mail yesterday) on the computer, when i restarted it just hangs at "GRUB loading." any ideas? [19:45] khensthoth, were can i find that at? [19:45] bashar, which os === km is now known as Guest37809 [19:45] kraitos: Just open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound [19:45] billybigrigger: I'm not going to answer that, other than: most people (avg desktop users) don't do that. :). If you're serious, look at SOCKS [19:46] LordVorp, ok, ill look into setting up a proxy server [19:46] LordVorp: or "proxy" synaptic has a good search function [19:46] bazhang: fedora, windows, any other linux flavour === Glenn is now known as Guest79109 [19:46] bashar, which are you trying specifically [19:46] bazhang: i have ubuntu and i want to but windows vista an fedora and freebsd [19:46] khensthoth, is couldn't find the package [19:47] LordVorp: that's what i was suggesting also. [19:47] s/an/and/g [19:47] Why might lpd claim that prints jobs are completing properly when my printers are not being sent jobs? [19:47] is pulse supposed to be a useful thing at all? [19:47] ?? [19:47] hola [19:47] billybigrigger: if you look at SOCKS, you'll see SOCKS4 and SOCKS5. the relevant difference is that SOCSK5 supports UDP and SOCKS4 does not. Since news/nntp is TCP, in your case it doesn't matter. [19:47] LordVorp, socks4-server - SOCKS4 server for proxying IP-based services over a firewall [19:47] I don't think "I have a problem with a newsgroups new policies, how can i get around it" is an ubuntu support question even if the person is using ubuntu. Just my opinion though. [19:47] alguien me recibe? [19:47] bashar, you wish to put windows in? check the license. the others just get the iso from distrowatch.com or the like [19:48] kraitos: How about in Synaptic Package Manager? Try to search for the package [19:48] alguien puede mandarmie privado y explicarme coo va esto [19:48] bazhang: so it need to install cant load it from any installation i have already? [19:48] !es | as [19:48] as: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [19:48] emma: are you boomie? [19:48] billybigrigger: look at "proxy". the socks stuff will appear but also non-socks... [19:48] khensthoth, im already looking there. i found it. it says to upgrade, is that what i want to do? [19:48] bashar, not to my knowledge; you may wish to ask in ##windows about the vista part though [19:49] kraitos: So it's previously installed? [19:49] bashar, also if it is virtualbox you can ask in #vbox [19:49] khensthoth, never mined i was looking at something else. it installed just now. [19:50] Is it safe to use my Western Digital Passport Essential to use in Linux(Karmic)? I have been using it in Vista till now. I have heard people say that Ubuntu will damage or corrupt the file system. [19:50] kraitos: Okay. After installing, try a Flash video to see if it works. [19:50] ircuser, ntfs is fully supported in Ubuntu for a long while now [19:50] ircuser: I have a western digital passport that I use with ubuntu all the time [19:51] hi, I just found update-rc.d...now how can I add add ssh...should I add it to default....and how can I see enabled services? [19:51] Hello, my USB modem doesn't work with Ubuntu karmic... it used to work with Jaunty. Is there anything that I can do? [19:51] khensthoth, hold on give me 10min [19:51] gnutoo: you want 'defaults' [19:51] Who can help me? When I press Ctrl+c in terminal (to stop some programms) nothing happends. It just prints letter "c" but not "^C" Earlier it works correctly. (Sorry. I know English very very bad) [19:51] LordVorp, ok thanks I was not shure.... [19:51] gnutoo: when you install ssh, it is automatically setup to start automatically. Also, update-rc.d is not intended to be used by humans! [19:51] nonick1, what process [19:51] jrib, in the livecd I created it doesn't [19:52] gnutoo: are you using ubuntu? [19:52] nonick1: depends on the program, sometimes you need to ctrl+d [19:52] jrib, in reality I use a derivate called trisquel....but it's nearly the same [19:52] anyone who can tell me why i cant connect to ubuntu with vncviewer? [19:52] gnutoo: apparently not... [19:52] trism: for example find [19:52] gnutoo: also: type "runlevel" at the console. it will say something like 'N 2', the number is your current runlevel. then: ls /etc/rc2.d/S* (the 2 is from runlevel) that will show the list of startup scripts run at boot time [19:52] bazhang: trism : thanks. even I access my other NTFS partitions. just want to make sure that writing and reading from within the Ubuntu won't damage it in any way.....My last Ext HD a Maxtor Basic crashed suddenly with some fiel system error [19:52] ok thanks a lot [19:53] LordVorp, as I chrooted there is no runlevel but I'll look in inittab [19:53] ircuser, I have a 1Tb ntfs that is used with Ubuntu for a while now without any issues [19:53] I can't get my DVD writer to mount in Ubuntu! [19:53] trism: Ctrl+d not works too [19:53] no inittab :( [19:53] gnutoo: well if you're chrooted you might have trouble looking at /etc/rc2.d. :) [19:53] I need to burn a disc, but it won't even read regular discs [19:54] nonick1: not sure what the problem is, ctrl+c should work fine with find [19:54] Kenti, using which application to burn [19:54] is there any way to completely reset the USB bus in karmic? I have a device that has to be unplugged/replugged after loading a kernel module, and I'd much rather just reset the usb bus [19:54] Brasero disc burning, but no application will recognise the drive [19:55] Kenti, same issue with other burners as well? gnomebaker? [19:55] Turno: I've never found one in linux. [19:55] yes, but haven't tried that one. I can't even mount the drive to read discs [19:55] kenti, are you sure the drive is connected/recognized properly? does the drive work in read-only mode? [19:56] if anybody is interested in FLUENDO https://core.fluendo.com/gstreamer/svn/ [19:56] Turno, no [19:56] kenti, do you dual boot maybe? and if so, does the drive work in your other OS? [19:56] Yes it works [19:56] Turno: but a quick search shows this link: http://hack2live.blogspot.com/2008/06/ubuntu-linux-restart-usb-to-reset-stuck.html ? [19:56] hi [19:56] LordVorp: yeah, i saw that, but that was back from when usb was a kernel module, now it's compiled into the kernel [19:56] my danish keys are not working in the console (tty). how do I configure that? Tried dpkg-reconfigure console-setup with no luck. Perhaps I'm missing some important package? [19:56] oh ouch. [19:57] does anyone know if there's a google calendar notifier for linux? i'm reluctant to use the addon for firefox. [19:57] yeah :( [19:57] kenti, what kind of burner is it? [19:57] Samsung Writemaster [19:58] proftp vs pureftp. which is best? [19:59] kenti, does it show up when you do 'lsusb'? [19:59] trism: can shotructs in compiz be a problem? [19:59] when is there going to be a new kernel that is compiled with gcc 4.4.2 rather than 4.4.1 ? 4.4.1 and 4.4.0 have difficulties with mplayer [19:59] khensthoth, alright, i had to take care of some business. but sound is not working still [20:00] turno no [20:00] Any opinions on necessity of avahi-daemon on a wireless workstation? [20:00] Turno: the package repository has a "usb-modeswitch", and the C source for a "usbreset" prog is here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb-users&m=116827193506484&w=2 [20:00] Its not a usb drive though. Its an internal one [20:00] kraitos: Even after installing the additional package? [20:00] oh, my google search said it was external [20:00] khensthoth, right [20:00] nonick1: did you recently configure new ones before ctrl+c stopped working in the terminal? [20:00] LordVorp: OOh, i'm checking out your link now! [20:01] What should I read to expand S-Video output? (I only see partial screen) [20:01] bazhang: thanks...should i install ntfs-3g or karmic is ok without it? any issues with ext4?? mine is ext4 only [20:01] gnites can some1 hlp me pls [20:01] trism: maybe [20:01] kraitos: Well, this is the last resort, the worse-come-to-worse effort. You will be removing Pulse Audio. In the terminal, type sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio pulseaudio-* [20:02] ircuser, you wish to share with windows or not? [20:02] Kenti: I would look at dmesg and see if it has any relevant error messages in there [20:02] gnites can some1 hlp me pls? im having Kernel Panic error trying to install clena Ubuntu 9.10 [20:02] clean* [20:02] khensthoth, i have pulseaudio device chooser also. could that be affecting it? i change some stuff on it so i could have sound come through hdmi [20:03] bazhang: I dual boot my PC so I will be accessing it in both OS and I guess that's counted as sharing. So, yes. [20:03] nonick1: this is in gnome-terminal right? [20:03] trism: yes [20:03] ircuser, then best to stick with ntfs as Ubuntu can deal with it no problem [20:03] bazhang: And I have a router in my room with 2 other Vista machines connected to it.. So may be occasionally they will connect to it [20:04] msg XDCC-Dead xdcc send #785 [20:04] nonick1: try resetting your keyboard to defaults in System/Preferences/Keyboard on the Layouts tab [20:05] kraito: In that case, try opening Pulse Audio Device Chooser, then play a Flash video. See if you see any new entry under "Playback", and see if the sound leve lis moving at all. [20:05] I installed Kubuntu, then decided I wanted GNOME, so installed that stuff and am using it quite happily. I've since upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic... but my boot screens all say Kubuntu. Is it hard to switch that? Is there a grub thing or a dpkg-reconfigure thing that can do it? [20:05] khensthoth, did you get my last question [20:05] Is there an app that will make copies using a scanner and printer? (as in, click a button, scanner scans, printer prints. not scan into gimp, click print...) [20:06] trism: nothing changes [20:06] I am trying to intall 9.10 and when it boots up I get sound but no video is there anything I can do to make the graphics show up? [20:06] kraitos: Sorry I meant Pulse Audio Volume Control. Do you have pavucontrol installed? [20:06] CarlFK, disconnect from the computer? [20:06] is hal required for Xorg operation in 9.10? (autoadding devices) [20:06] CarlFK: Well.. [20:06] The best thing to do, as far as I see it, is making a small AppleScript. [20:07] Use Image Capture to scan, and then print it again. [20:07] Shouldn't be too hard. [20:07] bjorkintosh: huh? guessing no, quite OK with a dialog [20:07] sobczyk: no but it does kill a lot of hardware features [20:07] khensthoth, hey on puls audio volume control there is a thing for the network access. let me look at it for a minute. yes i have pavucontrol installed. [20:07] i try to connect to my home server with ssh and get: no route to host. any tips? [20:08] is there a magic trick to getting skype working on ubuntu? [20:08] owen1: do you have /etc/resolv.conf set properly? [20:08] henrik_: I know an app can be written. likely that it has. hoping it is in a repo. [20:08] it's simply not doing what's expected. [20:08] pdlnhrd_: no, and i never had to set it in the past. [20:08] Oop.s [20:08] I was CERTAIN I was in the #apple / #mac channel [20:08] Not #Ubuntu [20:08] Nevermind then :P [20:09] owen1: can you ping the host you are trying to ssh into? [20:09] henrik_: I was wondering why you were giving me apple advice. you mean mac doesn't have a copy option out of the box? that surprises me. [20:09] pdlnhrd_: no, unreachable [20:09] pdlnhrd_: btw, it's all in my home. the desktop (server) and laptop. [20:09] CarlFK: I guess it does, I haven't tried it yet. [20:09] khensthoth, on pavucontrol in the configuration section i have analog stereo duplex. is that suppose to be like that? [20:10] ownen1: can you check ifconfig -a and make sure you have an IP address? [20:10] bjorkintosh: what do you mean: "disconnect from the computer?" [20:10] Hey guys - what VNC Server app do you recommend most for Ubuntu? [20:10] pdlnhrd_: resolv.conf shows 192.168.1.1 [20:10] kraitos: Which type of hardware do you have then? [20:10] Excuse me but does anyone know how to connect to xbox live through ubuntu?? i've followed some of the tutorials off the inet but their not wokring... [20:10] ownen1: can you ping 192.168.1.1 ? [20:11] CarlFK, you don't need a computer to scan and print and copy with those devices. [20:11] if the machine's getting in the way, then by all means, disconnect it. [20:11] hello, I get this error when starting gnome-system-monitor: ** (gnome-system-monitor:23616): WARNING **: SELinux was found but is not enabled. Should I be woried? [20:11] pdlnhrd_: no. unreachable [20:11] bjorkintosh: ah - that. no, I have 2 separate devices. [20:11] khensthoth, for the speaker, is that what you want to know? [20:11] pdlnhrd_: btw, i run ssh on the desktop [20:11] how do I access my ftp server, hosted with gadmin-proftpd [20:11] kraitos: Yup [20:11] pdlnhrd_: with sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [20:11] hey how do i get ubuntu to work as a live cd [20:12] c3l: same way as any other ftp server "ftp hostname" [20:12] put the cd in and boot [20:12] i downloaded an iso and all i get is an istallation option [20:12] i wasn't given that option [20:12] dodobrown - you need to burn it as an image to a CD [20:12] dodobrown: sounds like you downloaded the Alt or Server CD [20:12] khensthoth, well by the speakers is got to labels. one is altec lansing and the other is srs premium sound. [20:12] nonick1: in the keyboard layout options of System/Preferences/Keyboard on the layout tab, is the ctrl key position set to default? [20:12] dodobrown: there is an option to try ubuntu [20:12] hi, when i delete Desktop from my ~ folder it keeps coming back [20:12] owen1: and you can reach the internet through other means from the same machine? on you the computer now? [20:12] re [20:12] pdlnhrd_: and i have port forward on my router. port 22 to 192.168.1.2 [20:12] bios flash question....is it straight forward in Karmic? [20:12] dodobrown: you inside windows? [20:12] coachz: it's created when you login to hold your desktop info [20:12] i put it on a cd [20:13] dodobrown: what is the filename of the .iso? [20:13] looking for some quick help. Watched a trojan horse decimate XP on my laptop last night and decided to reformat and use Ubuntu. I have it loaded and running, but have no drivers and cant connect online. Any suggestions for good tutorials or starting point. I have alot of computer experience...but none with linux. [20:13] ahh [20:13] one sec [20:13] dodobrown - did you burn the cd as an image? [20:13] so it needs to stay :-)00 [20:13] thanks ikonia [20:13] coachz: if you want to use a desktop, yup [20:13] k [20:13] ubuntu-9.10-alternate-amd64 [20:13] I get error: "SELinux was found but is not enabled". Should I be woried? [20:13] bingo [20:13] pdlnhrd_: no (-: one sec [20:13] dodobrown: there isn't a a livecd option on that [20:13] its an alternate installer dodobrown [20:13] dodobrown: "alternate" = alt cd. so not the live cd [20:13] i burned it as an image yes [20:13] dodobrown: you need the desktop cd [20:13] pdlnhrd_: i lost connection on the laptop [20:13] oh =\ [20:13] kraitos: I mean what type of configuration - 2.0, 2.1, 5.1 Surround Sound. Just select the appropriate one. If you have a pair of left right speaker then the duplex setting should be correct. [20:14] that sucks [20:14] dodobrown - re-download the "LiveCD ISO" version from the web site. Then re-burn as an image. [20:14] Roasted: it's the desktop cd - there is no livecd [20:14] pdlnhrd_: broblem solved [20:14] owen: both computers are on the same network (home router) ? [20:14] owen1: cool [20:14] what remote desktop should i use to go to my xp box? should i put vnc on the xp box ? [20:14] ikonia - the desktop cd IS the livecd, man [20:14] trism: yes :( [20:14] khensthoth, hold on let me look it up. [20:14] i see a few viewers in the software center [20:14] Roasted: I know, that's what I just said [20:14] owen1: do you know why? [20:14] ubuntu-8.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent [20:14] ikonia - you said there is no livecd [20:14] pdlnhrd_: should i use different port (for security issues)? [20:14] ^ so that should work no proablem [20:15] Roasted: I yes, there is no livecd version, it's the desktop cd [20:15] pdlnhrd_: it's a laptop. it looses connection once in a while, i guess. [20:15] dodobrown: that will work if you have a 64bit cpu. [20:15] dlkf;ajdlsk;fas [20:15] dodobrown: yes [20:15] i do [20:15] Live CD ***IS*** the desktop cd [20:15] cool [20:15] owen1: are you trying to reach a home server from outside your home network ? [20:15] thank you so much gental men [20:15] pdlnhrd_: no, from the inside [20:15] Roasted: yes, so tell him to get the desktop CD, not the livecd so he's not looking for something that doesn't exist [20:15] djklfa;jsdlfksa [20:16] owen1: than leave it on port 22 is just fine no need to complicate things [20:16] ikonia: dont tell him anyting - he has it. [20:16] pdlnhrd_: but many times i do it from the outside [20:16] owen1: glad it is working for you [20:16] khensthoth, how do i look it up by terminal? [20:17] pdlnhrd_: thanks for the help [20:17] Im trying to VNC from my laptop to my ubuntu desktop. but what's the best vnc server software out there for my ubuntu desktop? [20:17] owen1: personally if your box is up 2 date there hasn't been a exploint in ssh server ever... but if you are allowing other ports through you might want to study up on iptables to setup a personal firewall [20:17] Roasted: there isn't a "best" they all have pro's and con's [20:17] Roasted: depends what your most important factor is [20:17] pdlnhrd_: ok [20:17] trism: switching off comiz is not a solution too [20:17] well, no kidding [20:18] kraitos: Look what up in the terminal? The speaker configuration? What speakers do you have? If you have a laptop, then the duplex setting is probably correct. [20:18] I was kind of hoping for a common consensus on what the most common one was [20:18] owen1: good luck... cheers [20:18] Roasted: there isn't one [20:18] okay, I'll ask again [20:18] Im trying to VNC from my laptop to my ubuntu desktop. but what's the best vnc server software out there for my ubuntu desktop? [20:18] gnites can some1 hlp me pls? im having Kernel Panic error trying to install clean Ubuntu 9.10 - kernel panic out of memory and no killeable process error here (with all distros) [20:18] Roasted: i would use Vinagre for VNC, but i much prefer ssh anyway [20:18] Roasted: if you have a specific priority though, it may be easier to ask [20:18] Roasted: as I said there is no best - it depends what your priorities are, they are all like for like at a base level [20:18] ikonia - my priority is to... you know... take control of the desktop [20:19] khensthoth, the type of speakers? i have a hp dv4t laptop [20:19] Roasted: then they are all the same [20:19] moymoy - can you SSH through a gui? I've only ran SSH through the terminal. [20:19] ikonia - which is why I asked my original question the way I did.... [20:19] Roasted: the answer is there is no best [20:19] Roasted: there is something built in, or default. um.. gnome-desktop or something. it's a vnc server. [20:19] ikonia - thanks, I get it. whatever. [20:19] CarlFK: the remote desktop tool [20:19] so nobody answered my ubuntu vs kubuntu splash screens question. I found the answer on System->Admin->Startup-Manager, and it's a simple dropdown selection. [20:19] Roasted: i don't know if there are any GUI tools for ssh, but you can use GUI programs through ssh [20:19] moymoy - thanks. I've ran SSH to do terminal work to my desktop but I'd like to control the GUI now. [20:20] kraitos: Then the Configuration in Pulse Audio Volume Control is correct. [20:20] khensthoth, right [20:20] anyone ever encountered a lua error from running a script that is supposed to install a .deb? [20:20] Roasted: if you use the -X option in ssh (ie. ssh -X) then you can type like `gedit` into the terminal, and a gedit window will pop up [20:20] moymoy: you do need a local X server running though for that [20:20] hi - why does myspace music getting stuch every other moment????? [20:20] moymoy: (which you have, if your in graphical ubuntu/kubuntu :) [20:20] moymoy - well I want to have windows open on my desktop, then go to my laptop, take control, and have those same windows open. [20:20] kraitos: People have reported success in getting flash audio working after removing pulseaudio. Why don't you try that, and if it doesn't work, just install it back? [20:20] i am getting an error similar to "Overflow detected: Not enough space" or some such and then it fails (in karmic) [20:21] there is plenty of diskspace, swap and ram though [20:21] khensthoth, alright how do i remove again. [20:21] sinthetek: what are you trying to install? [20:21] kraitos: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio pulseaudio-* [20:22] help please [20:22] sinthetek: lua is a scripting language, its use in this particular deb file doesnt' tie its messages to any system resources, only that it didn't find what it was looking for [20:22] i've installed the package before underintrepid and jaunty. installed most of the lua 5.0 packages to try to fix it [20:22] Roasted: don't know how you could accomplish that with ssh, but i just find that vnc uses too much bandwidth [20:22] you tried tight vnc ? [20:22] moymoy: have you tried NX Client? [20:22] guntbert a lexmark printer "driver" (driver and management utility) [20:22] LordVorp: nope, what's that? [20:22] coachz - I just installed tightvnc. Where in the world is it to launch it and set it up? [20:22] dell wireless driver for clean install [20:22] moymoy: it's BAD ASS. using it w/ dsl feels like being on a lan connect [20:22] LordVorp i don't think lua is used in the deb, rather the script htat installs the .deb calls it at some point for some reason [20:22] !vnc [20:22] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [20:23] Hello everyone? [20:23] moymoy: I don't know if it's in the repositories, but go to www.nomachine.com and downlaod the free debs and it works very easy [20:23] i searched in relation to karmic and saw a few results but seems noone else really has this issue [20:23] gnites can some1 hlp me pls? im having Kernel Panic error trying to install clean Ubuntu 9.10 - kernel panic out of memory and no killeable process error here (with all distros) [20:24] hmm.... i wonder if it has to do with using the same /home from jaunty in karmic... [20:24] Lunatico: what do you mean with all distros ?# [20:24] Would anyone have a moment to answer some basic questions about Ubuntu installation? I was wondering if i could install it but keep windows on there as a backup in case I don't like it? [20:24] moymoy: there is a FreeNX open source server-side package that's supposed to replace the NXserver packages from nomachine, but you still have to use NXclient from nomachine anyway, and *I* don't have the philosophical restrictions that force me to prefer FreeNX over NXserver from the same place as the client [20:24] Ihavequestions: not a problem [20:24] khensthoth, i owe you that worked. know what exactly did i remove when i remove pulse audio [20:24] run the live cd to try it Ihavequestions [20:24] Ihavequestions: if you install ubuntu onto a different partition you'll be able to dual boot either [20:25] !dualboot > Ihavequestions [20:25] Ihavequestions, sure you can dualboot [20:25] Ihavequestions, please see my private message [20:25] maybe a stale user config file specifies the wrong version of lua or something? seems like it would say 'not found' in that case though, not some obscure error that doesn't show up in google :\ [20:25] kraitos: So, you have audio in flash now? [20:25] khensthoth, correct [20:25] Ihavequestions: the installer will detect windows and give you the option of installing around it [20:25] any of you like playing urban terror on ubuntu? [20:25] kraitos: What about other applications like rhythmbox or VLC? [20:25] i mean Xubuntu Ubuntu and Kubuntu === brenden_ is now known as Brenden`` [20:26] emma: having a problem with it ? [20:26] Lunatico: 3 different CDs? [20:26] sinthetek: so are you able to debug the actual lua script? I can (mostly) read lua but don't write it. [20:26] khensthoth, i don't have vlc but let me check on rhythmbox. oh and what are the advantages on using vlc on ubuntu? [20:26] o ok. i have vista currently, hate it, heard windows 7 was better, but have been told that Linux based systems are much safer [20:26] help to connect my dell on clean install [20:27] ikonia: yep. [20:27] Ihavequestions: they are not safer, they are as safe as the user running them [20:27] kraitos: Well, VLC is just a freaking powerful video/media player that plays almost anything. [20:27] emma: go on, throw some details out [20:27] nonick1: does ctrl+ anything work? can you copy and paste with ctrl+shift+c ctrl+shift+v? [20:27] khensthoth: arand: I solved, http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2009/10/29/upgrade-alsa-1-0-21-on-ubuntu-karmic-koala-9-10/ [20:27] need some help, i have an USB tv tuner that has linux drivers, it is installed but i only get picture with no sound when using COMCAST coax cable connection, i live in an appartment so there is no cable box, just a coax cable coming off the wall. If i use the tuner with an OTA antenna digital signal i get both picture and sound, any suggestions on how to get sounf when using the coax cable connection thx [20:27] Ihavequestions: everybody hates vista. linux systems are "safer" only in that "everybody runs windows" so virus/spyware writers concentrate on that [20:27] ikonia: urban terror is more fun with more players. Do you want to play? === ritam is now known as anonamt1r === anonamt1r is now known as anonamtir [20:27] Parsi: Good on you. [20:27] Yea, i downloaded all versions and burned. But yesterday tryed from Ubuntu original CD and same problem === carlos is now known as Guest74324 [20:27] emma: I don't play, sorry, I thought you where saying you where having problems actually with the game running [20:27] hello, any italians? [20:28] Ihavequestions: one huge advantage: 1000's of apps managed by the package manager are all kept up to date, similar to how MS keeps windows up to date. [20:28] ikonia: oh okay :) [20:28] atmosx: tons in #ubuntu-it [20:28] well rather, I've heard generally that windows based systems are more vulnerable due to the higher useage. for example, that macs are "safer" because they're not as frequently targeted due to the less amount of "users"? [20:28] Ihavequestions: also linux has a superior security model so that "making an exception for one program" does NOT automatically mean you've opened UR system at admin level [20:28] khensthoth, audio works on rhythmbox. i know that vlc plays anything. but does all the other media player on ubuntu do also? [20:28] khensthoth: still some problesms. [20:28] I upgraded to karmic, and my wireless stopped working. Any ideas why? [20:28] Ihavequestions: thats not true, they are as open as the user that runs them [20:28] network manager is not functional, [20:28] Help with wireless connection on clean install [20:28] trism: 1) no, I can't copy from terminal using ctrl+c 2) that's interesting: when I push ctrl+c it prints russian letters [20:28] Well if anyone wants to play Urban Terror pm me. [20:28] LordVorp to some extent. it mentions lua in the error so i'm fairly certain it is lua related but the file i'm executing is a .sh. i was hoping perhaps there was just an unmet dep or bad PATH argument in the script because i've never actually touched lua before :P [20:28] Ihavequestions: macs (as of OSX) are based on a different unix-y system (NetBSD I believe), and so share the benefits that linux has WRT security [20:29] Ihavequestions: "safer" and "why" are very complicated - there is no simple way of comparing them. there is no "safe index number" where you can see that 12 is less than 30. [20:29] kraitos: Probably, but I just got stuck with it during my Windows-using day. =) [20:29] Lunatico: my first guess in such cases is a bad image - did you !md5sum check your images before burning them? [20:29] hi guys. I'm using VLC via jack and Everytime i skip tracks I have to reconnect VLC in jack... any ideas as to why/how to rememdy? [20:29] khensthoth, right same here man [20:29] bork: no other than, many people getting issues after upgrading from 9.04 [20:29] sinthetek: have you been in the .sh file? can you identify the part that barfs, or even just the part that calls (some file) that might be the lua you're looking for [20:29] has anybody figured out how to watch netflix instant on ubuntu? [20:29] Where can I get the smooth gtk+engine? [20:29] yes i did and they pass ok. and justtryed with original Ubuntu CD yesterday and same problem [20:30] sinthetek: also, lua is designed to be an embedded language, so it could just be a bit of script in a larger app and who knows if you'll be able to change it [20:30] LordVorp: that sounds amazing.. but i'm curious as to what connection you have [20:30] sebsebseb: any idea how i should go about diagnosing what the problem is? [20:30] sinthetek: that being said, my favorite window manager, ion3, has a small C core and all the rest of it is lua [20:30] bork: could try a clean install of 9.10, or try and configure the wireless [20:30] !wireless | bork [20:30] bork: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [20:30] LordVorp i have glanced at it a bit but large parts seem to be compressed so i didn't try too hard :P [20:30] Roasted: LordVorp suggested NXserver and NX client.. judging from his reviews, it sound amazing [20:30] sebsebseb: thanks, I'll look at that. [20:30] when creating own PPA, I don't see a button to "activate" it? Do I have to wait for the first build? Is there a way to see a status of the build? === salammbo22_ is now known as guaguoille [20:30] thought i'd check in here first if it'd been encountered before [20:30] does WICD have ability to add mobile internet device like network-manager? (nm blows right now) [20:30] thanks to everyoen who is answering btw (hard to keep up with all the names). I know I'm nervous about trying a different operating system because I'm so used to windows and it's functions / programs / whatnot. I'm afraid I'll be totally lost lol [20:31] khensthoth, well, hey man thanks for the help. if i have anyother question ill defenatly call you up on here. later [20:31] kraitos: Anyway, PulseAudio is a powerful audio mixing application with some really fancy feature like streaming your sound to another computer. However, people seems to claim to have trouble with it. I never had. When you remove it, you just remove that functionality. [20:31] Gandalfar: better to ask that on #launchpad [20:31] bork: you can test on Live CD as well, without doing a clean install [20:31] moymoy - Ill check it out now. thanks! [20:31] moymoy: it was 1.5mbps when I experienced this. I've since gotten faster DSL connect but it's still tight and fast on EVDO [20:31] CarlFK, thanks [20:31] bonsoir, des français/ses?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [20:31] Hello, my USB modem doesn't work with Ubuntu karmic... it used to work with Jaunty. Is there anything that I can do? [20:31] nonick1: interesting, I saw that in a bug report http://forum.soft32.com/linux/Bug-513261-gnome-terminal-Ctrl-modifier-work-ftopict475450.html but a later message said he reset his keyboard to defaults in the gnome keyboard properties and it was fixed, which is why I suggested that earlier, but didn't seem to help [20:32] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html Ihavequestions here is a good primer [20:32] hey all [20:32] bostikforever: upgrade or clean install? [20:32] khensthoth, i was closing xchat when you send your last message can you repeat it again? [20:32] Roasted: give nxclient a try, start at nomachine.com and see. I've been doing this a long time, and found NX earlier this year... and it's been a very, VERY long time since I've been as impressed by a new linux-y thing I'd discovered [20:32] bostikforever: certain hardware that used to work fine in 9.04, no longer does in 9.10 [20:32] Lunatico: the next guess is a bad burn - did you "check the CD" from the menu? [20:32] kraitos: Anyway, PulseAudio is a powerful audio mixing application with some really fancy feature like streaming your sound to another computer. However, people seems to claim to have trouble with it. I never had. When you remove it, you just remove certain functionality, but it's no biggie. [20:32] LordVorp - does nx have a mac version? [20:33] Roasted: AFAIK yes, you install the linux debs for NXServer, then use the mac NXclient [20:33] What would be the best way to sync music onto my iphone, wine, virtualbox, or jailbreak the phone and ssh it? [20:33] is the hostapd offered in ubuntu built with support for nl80211? [20:33] Roasted: ... to connect [20:33] LordVorp - thanks much! [20:33] kraitos: Anyway, see you. [20:33] khensthoth, thanks for the help. i got to get to bed know it's 11pm here right know. later [20:34] bork: good luck by the way [20:34] sebsebseb: thanks =) [20:34] sebsebseb: upgrade [20:34] hi [20:34] trism: I will restart my computer [20:34] hi! were do I find some docs about the gdesklets? [20:34] but I also tried a clean install for XUbuntu karmic and it seems to have the same problem [20:34] bostikforever: oh right, ok well many people got issues after upgrading, you can try the 9.10 Live CD, and find out if it works on that or not [20:35] where kino saves the file exported? I can't find it [20:35] then if it works? [20:35] LordVorp - getting a dependency error when I try to install nx server on my linux box :( [20:35] bostikforever: if it works good, should work fine in a clean install, if not well you got a problem [20:35] moymoy, Roasted: you DO know that the X11R6 protocol really, really sucks for non-LAN usage, right? So there have been several different bandwidth-saving addons, workarounds, proxy solutions over the last 20 years or so. My testimony is, nx is best [20:35] Roasted: what's the dep error? [20:35] LordVorp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:35] Roasted: how are you trying to install it ? [20:35] Can anyone give me a hand installing theme engines on Ubuntu 9.10. I'm a recent Windows convert btw. [20:36] Roasted: and what linux, is it ubuntu? [20:36] bostikforever: also the release notes might have something in them that is relivant to you [20:36] !notes | bostikforever [20:36] bostikforever: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [20:36] LordVorp - Im on a LAN, so its all good. Dependency error is Dependency is not satisfiable: nxnode >=3.4.0 [20:36] LordVorp - Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 64 bit [20:36] LordVorp - I got the x64 package too [20:36] It's not necessarily true... my wireless works fine on Live CD but not with clean install [20:36] find http://violin-bow-rehair-and-repair.hfdveenrv.net/ [20:36] Roasted: where did you get the package ? [20:36] bostikforever: so you tested 9.10 Live CD already? [20:37] ikonia - the NX web site [20:37] Roasted: oh, hah. u need to download: nxserver, nxnode. install nxnode, install nxserver. [20:37] yeah [20:37] www.catsforgold.com [20:37] trism: AAAAAAAAAA!!! It works!!! Thank you very much! [20:37] Roasted: ahhh that's why, it's a 3rd party package, may not be for that version [20:37] @find violin-bow-rehair-and-repair [20:37] Can i upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 32bit to Ubuntu 64bit without formating my pc? [20:37] rogue780: ?? [20:37] Roasted: they come from the same part of the same page that you d/l'd nxserver [20:37] ikonia - *shrug* its a debian package... [20:37] Ioneye: no [20:37] Ioneye, no, don't think so [20:37] has anybody figured out how to watch netflix instant on ubuntu? [20:37] Roasted: it's for debian, not ubuntu ? [20:38] Ok thank you sebsebseb and MK13 [20:38] ikonia, it is epic [20:38] ikonia - its a debian package. ubuntu is based on debian. I fail to see where the issue is there. [20:38] ikonia: nope, nxserver and nxnode come from the same LINE on the same PAGE from the same SERVER. the .debs install just fine === tyranos_ is now known as tyranos [20:38] !pl [20:38] Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego.

See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! === mamia is now known as regex === Guest74324 is now known as dzurix [20:38] hey, ikonia [20:38] NX Enterprise Desktop Server for Linux Evaluation DEB - x86_64 [20:38] For Xandros Desktop 4.1/Xandros Server 2.0, Debian GNU Linux 4.0 Etch/5.0 Lenny, Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger/6.06 Dapper Drake/6.10/Edgy Eft/7.04 Feisty Fawn/7.10 Gutsy Gibbon/8.04 Hardy Heron/8.10 Intrepid Ibex/Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope/9.10 Karmic Koala [20:39] Roasted: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:39] Roasted: yes ? [20:39] its officially supported. [20:39] Roasted: so it's not for debian then - it's for ubuntu [20:39] LordVorp - where do I grab that node at.... looking.... [20:39] ikonia - its for both.... [20:39] Roasted: have you considered looking in the ubuntu repos ? [20:39] I am using 9.04 and use GPRS wvdial to connect to internet. When I am also connected to wireless lan, my Internet doenn't work. [20:39] ikonia - already tried - none listed. [20:39] I don't know if there is a version in there [20:39] any pointers to how to install raid in a desktop on 9.10/ installer does not allow for the creation of raid (apparently) [20:39] Roasted: go back to "Free NXserver for linux" page, there's: download client | download node | download server [20:39] so is there anyway I can use the old modem manager? [20:40] lampliter: alternative install cd does [20:40] bostikforever: not easilley if at all [20:40] need some help, i have an USB tv tuner that has linux drivers, it is installed but i only get picture with no sound when using COMCAST coax cable connection, i live in an appartment so there is no cable box, just a coax cable coming off the wall. If i use the tuner with an OTA antenna digital signal i get both picture and sound, any suggestions on how to get sounf when using the coax cable connection thx [20:40] stuffs like this make me think that Linux is a big joke [20:40] bostikforever - sorry to hear that, but its really not a big joke. At all. [20:40] trism: good night (there is GMT+2) [20:41] bostikforever: ? stuff like what ? [20:41] LordVorp - hmm... looking for that page... [20:41] bostikforever: just because you don't understand a quirk doesn't make it not functional. :) [20:41] I am using 9.04 and use GPRS wvdial to connect to internet. When I am also connected to wireless lan, my Internet doenn't work. [20:41] bostikforever DO you understand about Ubuntu releases, non LTS, and LTS, what all that means? [20:41] yeah I do [20:41] is there a way to add a "Add new folder" icon to the file browser ? [20:41] sebsebseb: fixed it! just needed to add ath5k to /etc/modules. =) thanks. [20:41] I am using 9.04 and use GPRS wvdial to connect to internet. When I am also connected to wireless lan, my Internet doenn't work. But when I use proxy such as squid, it workes only for browser [20:41] where does KINO save the file we export? [20:41] bostikforever: It means that non LTS releases are kind of testing releases for new features. It also means that it's fine to use whatever version you want, as long as it' still supported by security updates. [20:42] does anyone know how to power down or reset the usb bus in karmic? [20:42] bostikforever: What I am saying is basically, that there's nothing wrong with putting 9.04 back on where it all works, if you want to do that. [20:42] ikonia: can I use remote desktop viewing with alternative install? got a "person who needs help" on the other end and doing installs by telepathy is not fun [20:42] LordVorp: i don't really use gui apps remotely anyway.. there's no need to [20:42] lampliter: no [20:43] LordVorp: it's good to know there are options and optimizations though [20:43] I advocate for the use of open source in my community but when I get to points like this I find it difficult to explain to my 'proselytes' [20:43] LordVorp: so I didn't have any luck with the link you sent :( [20:43] lampliter: best bet is to install normally, then setup raid post install [20:43] sebsebseb: thanks for you explanation [20:43] I guess I'd have to switch back to 9.04 [20:43] LordVorp: I compiled the program, but it seems usbfs support isn't included by default in karmic [20:43] bostikforever: yep or you could try some other distro. There also may be a way to configure it in 9.10, but if so I don't know the details. [20:43] (I had to use a tweak to get my sound working in that, but with karmic it worked painlessly) [20:43] moymoy: yeah, I try, say, emacs (X) over 1.5mpbs and it takes a minute, easy, for the screen to show, and updates are slow slow slow slow. w/ nx, it's right now [20:43] LordVorp: so i'm struggling still ;) but continuing to google [20:44] !pl [20:44] Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [20:44] i hate to say this but i kind of agree, i spent the last 3 days researching the net to get my tv tuner working, i have drivers for linux and it gets recognize but something with pulseaudio is preventing to get audio when i use an application like tvtime or mplayer i can get over a 100 channels but no sound [20:44] or is there a shortcut key to add a new folder ? [20:44] how to configure upstart job to start on boot? [20:44] sobczyk_: update-rc.d [20:44] Turno: good luck! (sorry my suggestion didn't help more) [20:44] kavurt: to find a recently made/modified file, do this `find -type f -mmin -10` [20:44] neon_: kind of agree with what? [20:44] ikonia: any pointers to how to do post install raid? [20:44] lampliter: what type of raid ? [20:44] 1 [20:44] sebsebseb: yeah, I guess I'd keep searching. [20:44] kavurt: that will find all the files modified in the past 10 minutes [20:44] lampliter: one moment, I have a forum post I wrote ages ago [20:44] LordVorp - so, my one pet peeve with linux has surfaced again. I installed these apps. Now what? Where do they go? I dont see them in any of my menus... [20:44] thanks [20:44] in ubuntu server 9.10, how do I know if my gigabit card is coming up at 1gbps [20:45] Xptical: ethtool [20:45] what's similar to foobar 2000 in linux ? [20:45] Roasted: if correctly installed on linux, NOW you install nx client on mac, and use wizard to connect to linux machine (it uses SSH so if that's open you can get in) [20:45] coachz: Nothing as good as foobar2000. [20:45] so what to use [20:45] Amarok ? [20:45] oh that's kde [20:45] LordVorp - it wont launch on my mac. It complains about X11... [20:45] ikonia, "System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/hal do not exist." [20:46] with the joke comment, i been trying to migrate to linux and been doing it on my own reading and researching and got pretty much everything worki, but it should not be that hard to configure a tv tuner, i tried mythtv but the setup was created by someone with an iq a lot bigger than mine cause it is hard === virtus is now known as whois[offline] [20:46] Roasted: that is, from mac to linux. FYI, if you install nx client on ubuntu, it DOES appear on the menus [20:46] LordVorp - I have it installed too.... [20:46] lampliter: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=454116&highlight=raid === whois[offline] is now known as virtus [20:46] lampliter: it's an old guide but it works fine [20:46] LordVorp - nevermind :P [20:46] sobczyk_: hal auto starts any way [20:46] thanks [20:46] coachz: gmusicbrowser is the best I've found soo far, but still doesn't compare. === crunchbang is now known as Guest36293 [20:47] hello, anyone uses acer aspire 5920? i'm trying to configure media keys [20:47] coachz: I use mpd, it isn't very simple but the concept of having many separate GUIs for the player is cool. If you dislike that, there are QuodLibet, Exaile, Banshee, Songbird, Rhythmbox... [20:47] will be back when I need help [20:47] can i use something else besides pulse on ubuntu? [20:47] :-) [20:47] i'm quite fed up with it. [20:47] i see RhythmBox installed, i guess i should try that [20:47] bjorkintosh: alsa ? [20:47] it already has alsa [20:47] Roasted: IIRC there is X11 available for OSX, but I don't know how to make it go... [20:47] but it seems alsa talks to pulse... [20:47] are there any that support vst plugins ? [20:47] ikonia, not in my case, Xorgs does not reckognize keyboard and mouse after some time of using PC, I've checked for hal and it was not running [20:47] coachz: What are those? [20:47] LordVorp - I need to throw this mac out. :( [20:48] i simply don't want to have to use that pulse POS ever again. nothing useful has come of it. [20:48] sobczyk_: what have you done to disable it ? [20:48] add ons like equalizers and compressors [20:48] i still want to have sound, mind you. [20:48] I had another stupid question. It wasn't clear on the FAQ, but if I download Ubuntu onto a cd, do I have to install it, or does the "live cd" give you the option to run ubuntu without installing it? [20:48] Ihavequestions, yeah. [20:48] Ihavequestions: you can run it live [20:48] ikonia, nothing, fresh install of KK, and after 2 weeks of using it my parents told me about "computer crashing" [20:48] and then you have an installation option, Ihavequestions. [20:48] does the usbstartup disk creator work with the alternate cd;s? [20:48] I think something is messed up with gconf. How can I reinstall it? [20:48] sobczyk_: can you start it manually [20:49] Ihavequestions: thats the point of "live CD" [20:49] ikonia, yes [20:49] I once was on a machine where someone had the audicty to run chmod 0 / [20:49] which video editing software is good? I didn't like KINO [20:49] bjorkintosh: ah yes pulseaudio issues since Ubuntu 8.04, thing is other distros can be rather fine with it [20:49] ikonia: would it not make sense o just copy the partation table from sda to sdb? [20:49] sobczyk_: so update-rc.d works fine [20:49] i'm trying to map my media buttons with the "keyboard shortcuts" tool. all of the buttons are recognized -- "XF86AudioMute" comes up for example -- but the only one which then does the command it's mapped to is XF86AudioPlay [20:49] lampliter: depends if the disks are identical [20:49] sebsebseb, i'm running karmic. [20:49] I thought so, but I wanted to be certain before proceeding as the FAQ wasn't 100% clear. TYVM everyone who answered!! [20:49] they are [20:49] is there a shortcut key to make a folder in the file browser ? [20:49] i think it was fine before i started running karmic. now skype doesn't work at all. [20:49] lampliter: then ues [20:49] ahh found it [20:49] woot [20:49] yes [20:50] guys,sorry to ask but i need some phpmyadmin related help,anyone around with such knowledge? [20:50] bjorkintosh: I got sound issues in Karmic as well [20:50] ikonia Thanks. That worked great. Speed: 1000Mb/s [20:50] i'm not happy with pulse. if it's possible to downvote pulseaudio, i'd like to press it. [20:50] karmic sucks yall [20:50] arghh2d2: ok - don't use it, bye [20:50] yall stay away from karmic yall [20:50] arghh2d2: enough now [20:50] arghh2d2, i like karmic. [20:50] arghh2d2: please stop, don't use it if you don't like it [20:51] i just don't like pulse. [20:51] does anybody know how to install phpmyadmin? [20:51] arghh2d2: the word yall does not inspire confidence [20:51] eduard: open the package manager, search for phpadmin mark it for install [20:51] ikonia i installed it,but now where can i find it? :S === freevryheid is now known as fvs [20:51] eduard: it's accessed via a web page [20:51] eduard: you view it in a webpage [20:52] eduard: it's run of your local webserver [20:52] I am on my windows desktop, trying to modify the contents of a samba share hosted on my ubuntu netbook. When I try to delete a file, I get the error message "Cannot delete _filename_: Network access is denied. Be sure you have the correct network permissions to perform this operation" [20:52] my mouse (touchpad) doesn't work at all after upgrading to karmic [20:52] karmic works great for me it took a little more config than usuall but nothing real major [20:52] ikonia i know but i have no phpmyadmin folder in my httdocs [20:52] eduard, http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/Documentation.html#setup ? [20:52] i'm loving Ubuntu ! [20:52] it freaking works ! [20:52] oscurochu: did you put the right user/pass in your connect? correct user but no pass will mount read-only [20:52] !phpadmin [20:52] karmic is sweet [20:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about phpadmin [20:52] coachz: i'm hating ubuntu! [20:53] i know phpmyadmin [20:53] how can i help [20:53] eduard, too late... try accessing http:///phpmyadmin [20:53] eduard: it's normally localhost/myphpadmin [20:53] !love [20:53] Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come. [20:53] it happens everytime ubuntu upgrades, all the noobs go "oh well i gotta get the latest greatest and upgrade" and they upgrade to a system that hasn't been tested enough...a nessecary evil i suppose. Ubuntu trades new user frustration for development. [20:53] neon, why [20:53] MK13 its empty,and thats the problem === cp is now known as Guest96636 [20:53] what is mk13 ? [20:53] arghh2d2: yes I know what you mean [20:53] coachz: (a user in here) [20:53] arghh2d2: enough - if you don't like it, don't use it, stop ranting in here [20:53] ah [20:53] MK13 maybe its due to my doc root is not the default one? [20:53] coachz, you asking how i got my nickname? [20:54] LordVorp: the username/pass combo is the same for both computers. there *shouldnt* be problems with that, but just to be sure, i did do the "login as another user" and typed my username and password [20:54] no [20:54] use windows :P [20:54] hopefully LL will be a bit better tested since it's an LTS [20:54] coachz: been trying to get my tv tuner to work for over 3 days with no luck, i can see all the channels no sound [20:54] eduard: yes that will be a problem [20:54] arghh2d2: I haven't had any problems with Karmic... [20:54] nickapalooza: stop please [20:54] eduard, i dunno i use command line to manage mysql [20:54] arghh2d2: what a lot of Ubuntu users don't reolize is that, with Ubuntu it's not about what is the latest, it's about what is still supported. [20:54] or at least there will be a 10.4.1 after a month or two which is.. [20:54] oscurochu: also, is the share a readwrite one or readonly? [20:54] ikonia how to fix it? :S [20:54] eduard: change your document root back [20:54] neon, well tv tuner i know nothing about but that's kinda specialized [20:54] ikonia: ok, i'll stop, even though i'm right. [20:54] If you want to be reminded how much betterubuntu is than some alternatives, use windows ;) [20:54] arghh2d2: thank you [20:55] eduard: or copy myphpadmin folder from "standard" doc root to new doc root [20:55] * neon_ going to store to get some Grey Goose, maybe if I lubricate the brain cells enough I'll find the solution [20:55] do you know xubuntu? [20:55] zcat[1]: please stop that here [20:55] LordVorp: Im not sure. It's the home folder I am sharing, so I need to keep it secure, but still writable. [20:55] LordVorp cd /var/www ls [20:55] bah, too serious [20:55] LordVorp result index.html [20:56] LordVorp no phpmyadmin folder [20:56] eduard: dpkg -L phpadmin | less will list where the files were installed [20:56] is there a good alternative to gparted/parted? i need to move and resize partitons but not per sectors, not per bytes === davide is now known as davidetel [20:56] eduard: err phpmyadmin. [20:56] liar: you could try qtparted [20:56] I'm having a hard time with external monitor (twinview would be nice but not necessary) could anybody point me in the right direction? I know x doesn't work the same as I'm used to... [20:56] liar: ,but if your getting issues with gparted you will probably also get them with qtparted [20:56] eduard: but please don't paste it here :-) [20:56] guntbert: (good point) [20:57] sa [20:57] LordVorp 2places /etc/phpmyadmin and /usr/share [20:57] LordVorp: :) (got burnt myself - once ) [20:57] LordVorp which one to copy over to doc root? [20:57] eduard: well one of them has a bunch of .php files... [20:57] eduard: or do both? [20:57] selam almayokmu yahu [20:57] how come i can't delete example-content === mamia is now known as regex [20:58] LordVorp both locs include php files in them :S [20:58] #pardus [20:58] Hey guys, I need help installing ubuntu. I have an odd issue where it wont detect the drive when I go to intstall it [20:58] eduard: hold, i'm looking myself [20:59] ahh sudo kills it :-) [21:00] If I check the box "Allow others to create and delete files in this folder" in the "Share" tab of the nautilus properties window, does this allow writing for all user accounts or just the accounts with permissions to that directory? [21:00] sebsebseb: yeah i need to move partitons because there are bad sectors, and i cant do that in parted, gparted and i think i cant do that in qtparted as it is just a gui frontend to parted, because there i can only declare the size of the partition in megabytes but not in sectors [21:01] Q: What's your favorite ubuntu app? [21:01] tom____: not really for this channel [21:01] meh. I know. What is this channel even about anyway? [21:01] liar: backup data, and maybe buy a new one? [21:01] Ubuntu [21:01] i can use tail to show the last 10 lines, how do i show the first line or lines? [21:01] Can anybody help me with installing Ubuntu?... Please. [21:02] tom____: if you know, don't do it. The channel is for uuntu support [21:02] Permissions Question - Can it be said that permissions on individual FILES don't mean anything since files tend to take on permissions of their parent folder? For example, I just set a file to have no group permissions and no executing rights, yet I can launch it anyway, yet the folder its in has 775 permissions with executing rights. [21:02] ty5479: just ask your question [21:02] sebsebseb: its an ipod [21:02] Roasted: no, the permissions on the file are everything, they don't take permissions from their parent folder [21:02] LordVorp fixed my prob [21:02] I have an issue where I try to install ubuntu and it wont detect the drive [21:02] ikonia - why is it seeming like they do... [21:02] but i can format it and everything. It's just in the installer [21:02] eduard: suh-WEET. so, working now? [21:02] Roasted: I've never seem like it does, what's the issue [21:03] t5479: What install are you using? Live or Wubi? [21:03] Live, i'm in it right now [21:03] LordVorp yes,i just guessed when copying over folder and was correct with my selection [21:03] LordVorp it was /usr/phpmyadmin [21:03] Roasted: they aren't connected. folder "execute" rights means you can access a file if you know its name, even if you can't read (ls) the dir [21:04] Hmm.. and it won't install? That's rather odd.. it goes through gparted and everything? [21:04] Roasted: did you remove the OWNER execute rights as well, or just group? [21:04] Once I get to gparted it wont detect [21:04] Roasted: also, did it need exec rights in the first place (does the shell "automatically" know how to start the associated app)? [21:04] but if i use disk utility it sees it fine [21:04] my desktop shows a file and a shortcut but i can't delete them and my terminal doesn't show them in ~/Desktop [21:04] LordVorp - just group, but the user in question is not the owner. One second, Im trying to set up a separate test thing. And I assume it needed execute rights since it was a .dmg package that my mac was using. I could launch it just fine from my samba server. [21:05] ty5475: jw.. What speed did you burn your disc at? [21:05] coachz: do they show up in ls -a [21:05] no [21:05] I burned it at 12x half of maxium speed. Plus i verified it also [21:05] Roasted: .dmg is not an executable format. your OS knows that .dmg is handled by some specific app, which it launched FOR YOU when you "ran" the .dmg [21:06] LordVorp - I thought thats where executing came into play, when you launch something like that. [21:06] Roasted: but that's analagous to getting a text editor when you double-click a .txt [21:06] ty5475: That's really wierd... like really wierd. Maybe try using a hardy installer or a jaunty and upping from there? [21:06] i'll reboot maybe it will like that [21:07] what is even weirder it will detect my other two sata drives with no issues [21:07] Upgrading from a previous install is probably even more trouble. [21:07] but ill go ahead and try that [21:07] ty5475: Yea.. usually ubu has sata issues. [21:07] Roasted: the window manager is giving you something the OS doesn't, by default... the +x bits on the .dmg would apply if, at cmdline, you said ./file.dmg to run it. lacking -x bit, it will say permission denied. WITH -x bit, it will pick some (erroneous) shell to execute it with and fail [21:07] ola [21:07] alguien me puede ayudar [21:07] Tom____ : I have them in the BIOS to see them as ATA [21:07] !es | edgar [21:07] edgar: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [21:07] soy novato en ubuntu [21:08] tom____: thanks for your help though. I'm going to try a different installer. [21:08] does anybody know of any terminal based aim clients? [21:08] ty5475: Yea, no problem. Good Luck.. Ubu is totally worth it! [21:08] nytek: finch [21:08] tengo un problema con el sonido [21:09] LordVorp - so wait, the +x right to it only applies if I try to launch that .dmg within Ubuntu? Whereas the Mac seeing it on the network, the +x doesn't matter if its there or not? [21:09] !es> edgar [21:09] edgar, please see my private message [21:09] edgar: por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es [21:09] <|NEMOi|> nytek_: centerim [21:09] i do ./configure --cc=/usr/bin/gcc (which is version 3.4) , but after make is finish... it shows that ./mplayer -v is version 4.4.1 [21:09] finch is based of pidgin, i like that [21:09] pidgin <3 [21:09] Hi, Is there 3D support for the ATI HD4850? [21:09] when i boot ubunto 9.10 i get no video can anyone help with this? [21:09] nytek_: It isn't -- they just both use the same libpurple core. [21:10] Roasted: basically, yes... the OSX windowing system is simply seeing that "Package installer (or whatever it's called) handles .dmg" so launching Package installer w/ the .dmg as a parameter [21:10] ah ok [21:10] thanks! [21:10] For some reason I can't connect to an unsecured wireless network with my broadcom bcm4312 that everyone else seems able to use. Seems a lot of people have had trouble with this...any ideas how to solve it? [21:10] nytek_: Well, they _are_ similar, yes. [21:10] @richie, you need to install the proprietary drivers [21:10] How often does Update Manager check for updates (same as 'apt-get update'), and is there a way to change the frequency? [21:10] @tom do they include 3D support for the HD4850? [21:10] hackel: did you enable the restricted drivers? [21:11] Kifey: Go to the update manager through the main menu. [21:11] How do I activate the b43 hardware drivers without using the hardware drivers GUI tool (It doesn't like my network proxy) ? [21:11] LordVorp - hm, I see. So more or less, executing rights is only if I want the files to be executable on my actual server itself. Executing rights doesnt mean a thing to anybody who hits the server from the outside, because if they can read it, they can execute it to THEIR system FROM my system. Is that train of thoght correcT? [21:11] nytek_: Yes of course. It works just fine with almost every other access point [21:11] @richie: I think they should. I'm using a new lappy and it supports pretty well.. but be careful with fan control [21:12] @tom ok, what card do you have? [21:12] !permissions | Roasted [21:12] Roasted: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [21:12] i want to install nvidia driver, how to turn of X window? any exra info? i can't install it :( [21:12] hackel: maybe the network is too far away? [21:12] guntbert - thanks, but that doesnt really answer my executing question. already been on that site. [21:13] Roasted: I'm not sure that's correct. And besides, are there some kind of "Admin user" perms required for the package install? [21:13] anyone with help with getting video working with 9.10? i try to boot into try before install and i get sound but no video [21:13] Leoneof: will go to a terminal session, is that what you want [21:13] nytek_: no, I have full signal. This is a common problem people seem to have. [21:13] jasonw: what kind of video [21:13] @richie: 3200 on an amd chipset [21:13] LordVorp - n ot on my mac. Anything I try to install it just launches. The PW doesnt come into play until the very end when it actually attempts to right the data to the applications folder on the hdd of the mac. [21:13] LordVorp: ati hd4800 [21:13] anyone here use a wirless 360 controller with karmic? [21:13] @tom I'll give it a shot [21:13] LordVorp - whereas linux requires it up front before you even get that far. [21:13] Need a hand with finding folders in terminal (I'm trying to compile theme engines) No matter how I try to direct to the extracted folder I get 'No Such File Or Directory'. Any suggestions? [21:13] hackel: does it connect? or can you just not connect? [21:13] LordVorp: crossfire cable is attached too [21:13] i have sound effects set to no sounds but it still makes sound on login [21:14] @richie: Yea no problem. you will have to reboot though [21:14] nytek_: it seems to associate, but will not give an IP. [21:14] mathepic: i did that, and i used sudo-s too, but when the installation will be at %100, then the message will appear about there are problem :/ [21:14] hackel: have you ran dhclient? [21:14] i installed ubuntu with my laptop connected to an external screen and now, even after reboot.. my virtual terminals are really huge and don't fit on my screen.. any ideas of how to fix that? [21:14] nytek_: yes [21:14] also, the splash screen doesn't show up on startu [21:14] p [21:14] Please urgent help!! I have a broken package and it seems my ubuntu is in an unstable state. What can I do? [21:15] can i use ekiga phone to call people on skype? reason i ask is on the skype page they dont list a download for u9.10 they only go as far as u8.10 [21:15] and you dont have an ip after you run it? [21:15] Roasted: I can't give good answers WRT OSX specifics, only WRT its correspondence with linux/unix behaviors... sorry. If there's come sugar provieded by the "DESKTOP" system, no clue. [21:15] @ax: sudo apt-get autoclean [21:15] i'm using 8.04.3 [because of my video drivers] [21:15] nytek_: correct [21:15] Brack, if you want to find a folder name type "find . -name [nameoffolderhere]", you can also use wildcards in the name [21:15] hackel: do you have access to the router? [21:15] if you know which broken package purge it [21:15] tom____: what does that do? [21:15] LordVorp - this site is saying that read permissions are 4. Yet when I apply 774, lost parameter. ?? [21:15] hackel: physically [21:15] Brack: (but you might need to quote the name if you use wildcards) [21:15] Roasted: try setting 0774 [21:16] Who wants to start a new distro? [21:16] @ax for me karmic has been buggy on boot up but [21:16] Please help!!! [21:16] LordVorp - no dice. Is the proper permission 5? Cause it also says you need execute permissions to CD into that folder. 1 and 4 = 5... should it be 775? [21:16] bostikforever: not here please [21:16] LordVorp; Didn't use any wildcards in any terminal statements. I'm just trying to direct terminal to the folder I made. [21:16] i don't see any setting for Log in or Log out sounds, nothing under System / prefs / sounds [21:16] bostikforever: offtopic for here try ##linux or #ubuntu-offtopic or both [21:16] tom____: i'm not running karmic, i'm running intrepid [or whatever 8.04 is] [21:17] LordVorp: maybe do a server install than install the catalyst blessed drivers for 9.10 [21:17] Roasted: probably. 4 = read, 1 = execute, so 5 makes sense [21:17] preecher: not really, skype is a closed system [21:17] LordVorp - nevermind, I'm an idiot. I didnt sepcify what dir to apply the perms to. 4 works :P [21:17] @ax for me karmic has been buggy on boot up but 8.04 is hardy~ [21:17] ax: 8.04 is Hardy Heron [21:17] LordVorp, my bad. I missed the find command. [21:17] LjL thx [21:17] sebsebseb: okay :) [21:17] jasonw: how about vesa/fb/whatever the vanilla drivers are and then get proprietary drivers once you get up [21:17] ax: Intrepid Ibex is my favourite release overall since 8.04, and that's 8.10 [21:18] It works for other guests here. And I have been connecting to other aps fine with this computer for months, both public and encrypted. [21:18] jasonw: I know there are video options for the CD but you'll have to look at the menu [21:18] LordVorp: that is a command boot switch right? [21:18] exit [21:18] jasonw: yeah one of the options on the "help" menu at the splash screen [21:18] is /dev/random available on ubuntu to generate random numbers? [21:18] sebsebseb: someone here suggested i use 8.04 because i have an older laptop with an ati mobility video card [21:18] LordVorp: thanks for the tip.. I iwll look around [21:18] hackel1: what is the card? [21:18] pixie_pie: might be /dev/urandom, as well === levy_ is now known as nozes [21:18] nytek_: bcm4312 [21:18] LordVorp: sorry i totally missed it... ubuntu just always works.. [21:18] ax: sounds like a good idea, since it's Long Term Support, so it's supported for quite a bit longer on the desktop, but also it's like a business type standard release [21:19] the issue is, my virtual terminals are really large, the resolution is messed up, and I cannot see the whole thing [21:19] LordVorp what is the difference? [21:19] ax: yeah LTS's are basically the business quality releases [21:19] hackel1: ubuntu 9.10 right? [21:19] sebsebseb: when they say 'long term support' do they still update packages to new versions? or do they just maintain security fixes and bug fixes and stuff? [21:19] pixie_pie: sometimes there's one, sometimes there's the other, and sometimes both. IIRC urandom uses a different source for noise? [21:19] nytek_: yes, that's right. [21:19] ax: try ctrl - to reduce the size [21:20] ax: only security updates, but there will be ppa's for quite a lot of later stuff, and you can install from source or whatever [21:20] LordVorp... so to generate a randome number.... it's a bad idea to use /dev/urandom or /dev/random [21:20] because you don't know if it's going to be there.... [21:20] awesomeWM crash with karmic. anyone else have this issue? [21:20] hackel1: one second, doing some research [21:20] guntbert: doesn't work [i'm talking virtual terminal, not x here..] [21:20] pixie_pie: not at all, just code in using whichever is available [21:20] sebsebseb: ppa's? [21:20] LordVorp... I can't accept that... how do yo uknow which one is avialable? [21:20] pixie_pie: AH: urandom is "non-blocking" [21:20] before compile time [21:21] Still no file or directory. [21:21] ax: yes like mini repos for a lot of later stuff, but they aren't properly supported by Ubuntu [21:21] pixie_pie: -e /dev/random [21:21] ? [21:21] hi all [21:21] sebsebseb: like backports? [21:21] ax: sort of I guess [21:21] second problem, iwconfig can detect info about my wlan1, but there r no icon in the top of toolbar to select network, how to fix this? [21:21] pixie_pie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//dev/random [21:21] I'm searching informations about sound over HDMI [21:21] anyone here tried using open-iscsi on karmic? [21:21] anyone uses it ? [21:22] how to cancel the touchpad on karmic? [21:22] pixie_pie: both are available, on linux [21:22] ax: here's an example of using a ppa, whilst 8.10 was the latest release, a much newer version of Open Office came out, but people coudn't just get it from the standard repos since the security updates only stuff, however they could from a ppa [21:23] hackel1: have you followed this thread at all? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288865&page=2 [21:23] hackel1: it seems that people have resolved the issue [21:23] sebsebseb: cool. [21:23] ChromeOS is ubuntu based ? [21:23] ax: another example would be getting KDE 3 [21:23] ax: when not using the remix CD === william__ is now known as Guest72607 === noneNN is now known as coldayinthesun [21:24] does anyone know how to fix the problem to shutdown AND poweroff? my ubuntu just shutdowns and doesn't poweroff. I already tried the modules thingie [21:24] ax: so sometimes ppa's can be used for older stuff even, that is no longer supported by their upstream [21:24] nytek_: that.s just about installing the driver. As I said, the card works just fine with most other access points. There is just some peculiar incompatibility with this particular ap (one that doesn't seem to exist on Windows).

[21:25] what is the main difference between the "noobfriendly distros" (such as k-/ubuntu, suse, fedora...) besides that they use either gnome or kde? [21:25] i cant find a straight answer on google, can u use random scanned proxy servers for legal stuff [21:25] c3l: the core systems are often different [21:25] hackel1: then it the network, not your card [21:25] its* [21:25] ubottu: thanks [21:25] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [21:25] ax: if you get to many ppa's though, things might go wrong, also they might cause issues when your upgrading Ubuntu [21:25] c3l: it has to do with how much they assume you know how to do yourself [21:25] c3l: package management is one of the biggest changes in the cores === Qtpaxa_ is now known as Qtpaxa [21:25] i don't plan to upgrade, because of my video driver issue [21:26] karmic was effed for me [21:26] i try to use syndaemon so configure my touchpad but my xorg.conf has no entry for touchpad. any clues? [21:26] c3l: more automated installations [21:26] !kde3 > ax [21:26] ax, please see my private message [21:26] hackel1: you could always downgrade [21:26] hackel1: :( [21:26] c3l: ubuntu and its variants use dpkg/APT. suse and fedora each use something else but both of them use rpm for package management [21:26] Okay, but basically the user experience is the same, except that some will use aptitude and some pacman etcetc [21:26] nytek_: upgrading wasn't the issue. I mean, I never had a chance to test this particular access point with any earlier version. === Random832_ is now known as Random832 [21:26] guys my Thinkpad T61 is getting hot after installing ...please help !!

[21:28] ax: I guess it's not fixed now, since the security updates only stuff, but if you start getting sound issues in 8.04, try this in the terminal killall pulseaudio [21:28] ax: the amount of times I did that when 8.04 was the latest release [21:28] anyone know where I can get a free bnc right now ? [21:28] does anyone know how to fix the problem to shutdown AND poweroff? my ubuntu just shutdowns and doesn't poweroff. I already tried the modules thingie [21:28] r [21:28] hi, i'm ULTRA-new to ubuntu; I installed using WUBI with the most default options, and now, after a reboot and choosing ubuntu from the OS list, I get a very basic text shell, which only supports a few commands... No graphical interface. what am I doing wrong? [21:28] lstarnes, but that could so easily be change. but yes still. the distros are aimed at people who want a complete desktop environment instantly, different default apps make huge difference in that point of view [21:28] guys my Thinkpad T61 is getting hot after installing ...please help !! [21:28] it went through setup using the graphical interface and completed successfuly [21:28] bulkior: it might be a setting in your bios [21:28] LordVorp - do you know a way I can set a folder up so whenever I create files in there, they take on certain permissions or ownership? When I drop files in my samba share for othe rusers to hit they dont get the permissions I want them to since they come down as owned by jason:jason. I want them owned by jason:samba with 775 perms by default. [21:29] ax: you could also try upgrading 8.04 to 10.04 when that's released [21:29] ax: you could also play with "pasuspender xterm" as long as those two terminals are open, pulse stays suspended [21:29] guys my Thinkpad T61 is getting hot after installing ...please help !! [21:29] ax: or try it from a Live CD, that's the next LTS.

[21:32] d4non: I think not if you wrote over the disk, im pretty sure [21:32] what do u mean?......If I use ubuntu again it will get hot? [21:33] mynameguy: try it out ? [21:33] Guest72607, have you tried "sudo apt-get install -f"? the f is for fix. [21:33] mynameguy: when you installed did you shoose any options like ACPI off or NOLAPIC? [21:33] I'm thinking that you won't be able to recover information lost on and MS partition once it has been re-formated to EX3 [21:33] So I am trying to add a directory to my svn repository and I keep getting "/home/billy_maze/apps/jqchat/.svn' containing working copy admin area is missing" [21:33] even though when I do a svn status -u, it clearly shows that it has not been added to the repository. Because of this, I can not even do a svn ci. What is it that could be causing this? [21:33] h0rder, did you do a quick or a full format of the disk? [21:33] no......I did not select any of those options during installation [21:33] err.. d4non [21:34] mynameguy: good [21:34] Hi, does anyone know how I could change the bootup screen and startup sound effect for ubuntu 9.04?

[21:34] oh!, well if you didn't write over it, then all the data should still be there [21:34] : Ive tried with the same result [21:34] sebsebseb: huh, well, ati dropped support or smethin.. so my video card will still be an issue i think [21:34] mynameguy: if you're SURE it's running hotter then it should, maybe some power management feature it's working right [21:34] Guest72607: using --reinstall? "apt-get install snort --reinstall" [21:34] hey guys with winff/ffmpeg what's up with Unknown encoder 'libfaac' ? how do i update encoder codecs? [21:35] : any apt-get command ive used gives the same thing [21:35] mynameguy: BUT that's not necessarily a problem exactly [21:35] if you are having trouble getting to it, try a utility called parted, on the live CD, and see if it can recover your partition tables. if it can, you can use a tool called dd to copy all of the data over somewhere else, and then you can inspect it from there [21:35] It may still "be there" but he will have to take the drive to someone who can recover the lost data which is expensive as I understand it. [21:35] hey guys - how do I set the umask? I have a guide on what its about nad how to do it but I dont know how to apply it. umask doesnt seem to be a valid command [21:35] mynameguy: you can install powertop to see what is the matter [21:35] ok [21:35] : yep, same thing [21:35] mynameguy: do you think you are suffering any heat-related performance issues or anything? [21:35] please tell how to install it? [21:35] zilla1, why not just use fdisk with mkfs? [21:35] Drakkoss, parted is pretty easy to work with. I've had to deal with fixing an MBR before, and its not as bad as it seems [21:35] mynameguy: because my gues is it's probably fine [21:36] Hi, does anyone know how I could change the bootup screen and startup sound effect for ubuntu 9.04? [21:36] whammo: I think my CPU is slower now [21:36] guntbert: how to install powertop? [21:36] mynameguy: sudo aptitude install powertop - or use your favourite package manager [21:36] I have not used parted to back off a partition so I can't speak to that. You may be right. [21:36] Guest72607: tried to remove current version? [21:36] mynameguy: do you know if your lappy uses speedstep or anything like that that? [21:36] c3l, not sure, i remember having some limitations with fdisk. bottom line, if i'm at the level of potentially losing all my data, first step is back it up to a safe copy somewhere else, before I start messing with anything. [21:37] : remove though apt-get? If so, yes. Same result [21:37] h0rder did not write anything, testdisk is unable to help me as it says the partition table is broken, and gpart is saying there is an inconsistency [21:37] ïî-ðóññêè êòî-íèáóäü ãîâîðèò?

[21:44] Napoleon__B: if you used the install script, you should be able to use the uninstall script that is included...I think it is vmware-uninstall...but I haven't used vmware in a while [21:44] oops its ubuntu software center [21:44] If I have grub installed (part of the 9.04 release) why would I not have a /boot/grub directory? [21:44] : please dont tell me I have to hunt down snort files and rm them === sshc_ is now known as sshc [21:44] aha, k , thx [21:45] Guest72607: guess there has to be an other way [21:45] junkordure, I'm not sure how I would use these though. Are there any tutorials for noobs? [21:45] julien_asdfa: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/index.html [21:45] zillal is rescue [beggining] [end block] the right command to recover in parted? [21:46] Has anyone besides myself noticed a reduction in heat produced by your computer when using Ubuntu? [21:46] Guest72607: already tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure snort --force" ? [21:46] Is´nt it possible to use a apt-get comando perhaps? It does´nt show in synaptic.. [21:46] : wait one, ill do it [21:46] d4non are you in parted? type 'help' === whammo is now known as apt-get_commando [21:47] lol [21:47] zillal yep typed help and it seems that I have to use rescue command with beggining and ending block parameters [21:48] : no dice [21:48] . [21:48] anyone know of a good alternative to nm-applet for someone who doesn't run gnome? [21:48] what is BSSID in my wireless setup please ? [21:48] coachz: that's the name of the accesspoint [21:48] coachz: eg 'Linksys' :) [21:48] Guest72607: too bad... one sec [21:48] isnt that the name of the network? === flootenkerp is now known as mubuntu [21:49] the SSID ? [21:49] i have an SSID [21:49] btw, i fixed my resolution problem [virtual terminals] by disabling the splash screen in grub [21:49] coachz: Broadcast S(omthing) Station ID ? === gusan0r is now known as Gusan0r [21:49] Napoleon__B: execute on terminal "/usr/bin/vmware/vmware-uninstall.pl" [21:49] and in the admin panel for the wireless it's called SSID wireless network name [21:49] epinky: I installed it from a bundle file, and if I run it again it will first uninstall vmware, and then install it again.. but I just need the uninstall part :) [21:49] Napoleon__B: last I checked, vmware only provides rpm or tar.gz installers, so you likely used the install script from the tar.gz, so it won't be in the package manager [21:50] be BSSID is the MAC address [21:50] ya that'll be the trick. If you're a bit stuck there... well blocks are indexed base 0 [21:50] im trying to follow these directions [http://tinyurl.com/yhyoxzf] but i get access denied on the last line... anyone know a way around this? [21:50] flootenkerp: check the usplash themes that you can install with apt-get === mubuntu is now known as flootenkerp [21:50] wwoops [21:50] Napoleon__B: did you execute on terminal "/usr/bin/vmware/vmware-uninstall.pl" ? [21:50] Has anyone other than myself noticed a reduction in heat production when using Ubuntu vs Windows 7 ? [21:50] but there is a mac address box right below BSSID on the ubuntu wireless config panel === Guest34875 is now known as jp [21:50] im trying to follow these directions [http://tinyurl.com/yhyoxzf] but i get access denied on the last line... anyone know a way around this? === jp is now known as Guest57054 [21:51] Drakoss: It would make sense, less work to run it, less heat produced === Guest57054 is now known as jp79 [21:51] Guest72607: here (http://www.khattam.info/2009/08/04/solved-subprocess-pre-removal-script-returned-error-exit-status-2-error/) is an article describing how to fix your issue [21:51] : wait one, ill check [21:52] jp: look farther down on the same page, comment from Arne on 13.07.2008 [21:52] the web says BSSID is randomly generated for the network in question [21:52] Hello, when i try to boot into my rt kernel, it gives me this error: http://pastebin.com/d299c6531 , but my generic kernel works fine [21:52] i have no idea what it is though [21:52] hey guys - how do I set the umask? I have a guide on what its about nad how to do it but I dont know how to apply it. umask doesnt seem to be a valid command [21:52] coachz: ok mebbe it's Binary SSID. [21:52] @guest72607 It may be related to the graphics ... is that what you are thinking? [21:52] epinky: it is installed there but even with sudo it writes back command not found.! [21:53] Hello, can somebody help me with Oracle - Sqlplus client? - Spend all day and did not find solution that would work. I am new to Ubuntu. [21:53] Napoleon_B: sudo find /usr -name "vmware-uninstall.pl" [21:54] Guest72607: It might suffice to remove the lines concerning snort from /var/lib/dpkg/status (e.g. from step 4/5 down) [21:54] per yahoo SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. BSSID stands for Broadcast Service Set Identifier. They are exactly the same thing. It is the 'name' of the wireless network that shows up under network connections. [21:55] I have a HDD with just 1 NTFS partition on it. There seems to be some problems on the hard drive, as Windows can't mount it, and when I try to copy certain files, it gives me a "Error stating file '/media/disk-1/Doc...5.tmp': Input/output error". Is there some kind of command that I can run on the partition to "fix" these problems so that Windows can use the HDD? [21:55] nono_: what is it that does not work like you expected it to? Give some details on your problem, someone who knows the answer might help you... [21:55] Some kind of command like Windows chkdsk would be cool [21:56] hey guys any reference for setup do difrent dhcps in same server [21:56] *two [21:56] how come Apply is greyed out in adding a wireless connection [21:56] JGodbout: there is fsck, but you must unmount the partition before using it [21:56] guntbert: Thanks, will try that [21:56] zillal it does nothing :/ [21:56] hey guys any reference for setup two difrent dhcps in same server ? [21:57] JGodbout: only I'm not certain if fsck has a ntfs module too [21:57] server gives ip adress in two ips segmentes [21:57] window 36 [21:57] oops [21:57] Are you still trying to recover your NTFS partition? [21:58] how can i add a wireless point if Apply is greyed out ? [21:58] Drakkoss yep I am [21:58] coachz: it should turn solid (no longer greyed out) if you filled out all necessary info [21:58] epinky: the command did do something, It took about a minut to go back to a normal state, but it looks like vmware still is there.! think reboot might help? [21:58] i filled out everything [21:58] anyone know of a good place to start to get help mounting a corrupt img file of a hard drive created with dd? [21:58] Drakkoss did not succeed with gpart nor testdisk [21:58] sepinky: this command: sudo find /usr -name "vmware-uninstall.pl" [21:59] you may have to do a search on Google. My thinking is that I can [21:59] Napoleon__B: show me results of that command [21:59] Napoleon__B: no, that was only for finding the file [21:59] can't be done using software that you and I can get hold of [21:59] i have something in every box in the wireless tab, the wireless security tab, do i need anything in IPv4 or IPv6 settings ? [22:00] nytek_: installing ndiswrapper allowed me to connect... Some kind of proprietary driver bug I guess. [22:00] I want to get all of ubuntu Studios default applications without the real-time kernel. Which package do I not include for this? [22:00] I hate lap tops ... any way to disable the touchpad? [22:00] IPv4 is set to DHCP automatic [22:00] Napoleon__B: use pastebin to post results [22:00] guntbert: It appears that I can use this so called ntfsck program in the ntfsprogs package [22:00] epinky: no result, it just went back to normal mode.! === YDdraigGoch is now known as WelshDraon [22:01] How do I remove ubuntu-restricted-extras? [22:01] do i have to enable my wireless device first ? [22:01] hey guys any reference for setup two difrent dhcp segmentes in unbuntu server ? [22:01] I screwed up a ntfs partition in ubuntu installating program, I picked the ntfs partition with most free space on it and I thought it's gonna make a new partition in the free space, but it removed the partition and formatted the amount of free space into ext3 and the rest became regular unalocated space, any hope to recover the data? Did not Write anything in there yet! [22:01] Napoleon_B: try with this: sudo find /usr -name "vmware*.pl" [22:03] dcosta, http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/dhcpd8.html [22:03] epinky: it finds nothing, it just returns back to normal mode [22:03] anyone help with recovering data from a dd image? [22:04] rampage73: dd is a block by block copy so unless you know the block you want and how to insertt them into your current file system it's not going to happen [22:04] how do i activate my wireless hardware so i can add my connection info ? === yacc_ is now known as yacc [22:04] i have a dd image that should have 2 partitions on it i can see and mount 1 fdisk is not showing the other? any ideas what i can do [22:05] can somebody help me to connect standard oracle client to database, sqldeveloper connects, web access is working, but just standard client no [22:05] coachz: get ndiswrapper and download the *.inf *.sys driver for your wireless networkcard [22:05] nono_: you mean over plsql ? [22:05] shutz, didn't my fresh install already install it ? [22:06] Napoleon__B: last try : sudo find / -name "*vmware*" [22:06] rashed2020: type in terminal: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-restricted-extras [22:06] nono_: as i said before, give some more detailed description [22:06] ikonia, i think i understand you but fdisk -l -u img file shows the first partition and i can get the offset from that to mount the first one, but it does not say anything about the second partition so i am lost on how to get the offset to mount it [22:06] hey guys - how do I set the umask? I have a guide on what its about nad how to do it but I dont know how to apply it. umask doesnt seem to be a valid command [22:06] rampage73: I doubt you'd be able to mount it that way, but you're welcome to try [22:06] Hi all, does ubuntu support all hardware of dell inspiron 1721 notebook? [22:06] Roasted: the command is umask $numbers [22:06] rampage73: no help ....but thanks i need real examples [22:06] shutz, ndiswrapper-common, ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 and ndisgtk ? [22:07] Napoleon__B: It's a metapackage, that won't work. [22:07] ikonia - numbers meaning, the umask permissions I want to apply? [22:07] Roasted: correct, [22:07] ikonia, well all i know is i can mount the first one fine , thanks for replying though [22:07] ikonia - aka, sudo umask 0022 directory, right? [22:07] rampage73: wow, I didn't think you'd even get the first one from that [22:07] dcosta, sorry i am trying to be helpful [22:07] thats what i get trying to connect: http://paste.ubuntu.com/324833/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/324831/ [22:07] Roasted: umask is not set on a directory like that [22:07] Roasted: it's a "user" thing [22:08] ikonia - aw, really? [22:08] Roasted: http://ss64.com/bash/umask.html [22:08] ikonia - I want to set it so ANY file and ANY folder written to a certain driectory comes down with 775 permissions. [22:08] rampage73: sure mate that is why i thank you [22:08] :) [22:08] can anyone tell me what the point of vboxgtk is? I mean virtualbox has its own interface which runs on gnome right? [22:08] hey. i wanna remove gnome/dbus/hal/pulse/etc and just run bare bones fluxbox. anybody know a recent/working howto? [22:08] gosh ... I haven [22:08] epinky: yep that gave me a result, big time, I don´t think I will spam this channel with the results.! [22:08] ikonia, yea found a google snippet on it actually not hard at all, unfortunatly i need the 2nd partition and fdisk not showing that [22:08] I'm reviewing the virtual machine tech on linux and just was wondering [22:08] rampage73: very surprised you even got the first partition up, very impressive [22:08] ikonia - so by setting umask I can essentially screw up how other users write data tot he system, outside of the directory I want to edit - right? [22:08] rampage73: trying to mount the 2nd partion from a disk image file > [22:09] rampage73: trying to mount the 2nd partion from a disk image file >? [22:09] Hi everybody: I am trying to create menu items for 'Reboot' and 'Shut Down.' The trouble is using the command 'sudo reboot' doesn't work in a menu item as it then requires a password response from the user (which I don't even see, not being in the terminal) [22:09] Roasted: nothing to do with other users, it's a creation mask for the user you are now [22:09] Dr_Willis, yes [22:09] Napoleon__B: post results using pastebin [22:09] Roasted: check the url I sent [22:09] Azanoth: as a work around you can 'suid' the reboot command - then any user can reboot with it. no sudo needed [22:09] gosh ... I haven' t seen an IRC channel this busy since .... 1975 ! [22:09] !pastebin > Napoleon__B [22:09] Napoleon__B, please see my private message [22:09] I screwed up a ntfs partition in ubuntu installating program, I picked the ntfs partition with most free space on it and I thought it's gonna make a new partition in the free space, but it removed the partition and formatted the amount of free space into ext3 and the rest became regular unalocated space, any hope to recover the data? Did not Write anything in there yet! [22:09] ikonia, well thank you [22:09] ikonia - but I have other users writing to my system in a certain directory. Within that directory no matter who writes what, I want 775 perms on everything. [22:09] anyone here use a wirless 360 controller with karmic? === usuario-master is now known as vo|d [22:10] ikonia - Ive already been to this site :( [22:10] rampage73: you need to give some sort of offset. i recall some guides/examples of doing that on the net. [22:10] Roasted: umask is not for you then as that's a user setting [22:10] drakkoss: you missed 1993 efnet #teensex :) [22:10] Hello. I have been using PortableApps in windows for some time, due to the increased speed, ease to keep settings if you have to format/reinstall, privacy, etc. Do you know why you cannot do this in Linux¿? [22:10] ikonia - yeah, I guess not. mannnnn...... [22:11] @d4non are you booting off the drive that was overwritten? [22:11] nono_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/324833/ that seems to be file/directory permissions problem. Check destination and permissions on audit_file_dest (from pfile) [22:11] Dr_Willis, yes i found some of those i was able to mount the first partition by using the output of fdisk -l -u file.img and taking the 63 * 512 for a total offset of 32256 [22:11] MiAlmaLlora: depends on the app and how you compile it. You can in some cases do a similer thing. [22:11] To anyone using an Intel integrated video card: given that Grub2 now uses a config file that shouldn't be edited, how can I add comments to the boot sequence in Karmic? [22:11] Drakkoss I am on LiveCD [22:11] rampage73: yea. thats about all i rember. i saw a artical on it once. but never actually did it. [22:11] Dr_Willis, the trouble is fdisk -l -u file.img is not giving me anything for the second partition so i do not know what to make the offset [22:11] hi. why do i get "GstMPEGAudioParse: No valid frames found before end of stream" this error for some of my mp3s? [22:12] nono_: the ORA-12545 is because of TNS config error. [22:13] rampage73: i wonder if you could use vbox and a live cd image and that disk image. - make vbox use that image as a hard drive. and let the live cd access it. [22:13] nono_: however all these issues are really concerning your oracle configuration and not related to ubuntu. This channel is for actual ubuntu support [22:13] Dr_Willis, but how would you go about doing that with Firefox for instance? Could you just extract the App to a folder within your home directory (which would be in other partition if you are a purist like me)? [22:14] nono_: pls don't pm me [22:14] @d4non I don't think there is an easy way to backoff a repartition of that drive. My understanding is that it may be possible to have a professional recovery service get the date off that drive. I have not seen programs that will recover the data. you may have to do a google search. Don't use the drive, of course. [22:14] są tu polacy? [22:14] Dr_Willis, not a bad idea i will give it a try thanks! [22:14] MiAlmaLlora: you would conifure it when you compile to access a dir in home - yes.. but firefox is a bit extreme. Ive done it with weechat and a few other apps [22:14] get the data ... lol [22:14] : well, it worked with unistalling it. I think. However with reinstalling, I have another full set of errors [22:15] what does this mean please? The iwlwifi driver has been merged into mainline kernel since 2.6.24. If you are using kernels after this release, please use the intree (drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi) driver directly [22:15] epinky: I have pasted it on the http://paste.ubuntu.com site [22:15] Is there any Drivers that will Support 3D Acceleration for the ATI HD4850 [22:15] Guest72607: that's not good. [22:16] Napoleon__B: then post the link here :) [22:16] Dr_Willis, what I don't get is why they don't release a portable app version as they have done in Windows with so many programs, is Linux really lagging behind in this regard? [22:16] What is on that drive that you want to recover? [22:17] rashed2020: allright it works on mine, but I´m just a novice :) [22:17] Napoleon__B: what about the pastebin link? [22:17] epinky:2020: Yes of cause ;) http://paste.ubuntu.com/324849/ [22:17] Can somebody tell me which version of qt released with karmic? [22:17] Drakkoss not using the drive is pretty obvious [22:17] MiAlmaLlora: Nothing to do with linux vs windows from how i see it. The tar.gz paackages of opera and firefox can run from a installed directory in the users home. as can many other apps. its not a major issue to most people [22:17] : http://pastebin.ca/1681496 [22:17] it says i don't need a driver because i'm using the latest kernel, so how do i activate my wireless card ? http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi [22:18] Napoleon__B: type on terminal: sudo /usr/lib/vmware/installer/vmware-uninstall [22:18] it says to use the intree (drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi) driver directly but i don't have a drivers folder [22:19] @ d4non - yeah, I would think so, too ... but you never know. [22:19] coachz: what says to use that? [22:19] http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/ [22:19] Dr_Willis , so tar.gz packages would be to Linux kind of like paf.exe packages are to Windows? Would going from .deb packages to tar.gz packages be the solution then? [22:19] first line [22:19] hello to all [22:20] Dr_Willis , also, wouldn't the app write settings, history, logs,etc. to a different directory than to that to which it was installed? [22:20] coachz: which Intel chipset? [22:20] Drakkoss already tried parted, gpart, and testdisk with no success :( [22:20] MiAlmaLlora: No. tar.gz are just archives. if you compile the source. You can set it to 'install' to your home directory instead of the system directories. [22:20] spanky [22:20] Guest72607: seems that libprelude has problem. My best guess is that it was installed as dependency of your (previous) snort install [22:20] Wireless 3945ABG [22:20] epinky: Yes that might just be the right command, thanks a lot mate :) [22:20] coachz: and no access points appear in nm-applet? [22:20] MiAlmaLlora: on linux all the user settings stay in their home. If you compiled an app to install to /home/appname it would (should) make the subdirs it needs under that dir. [22:21] Napoleon__B: you're welcome === N3OInc is now known as N3OInc_BRB [22:21] ** (nm-applet:3571): WARNING **: request_name(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken. Return: 3 [22:21] Guest72607: see what "dpkg -l libprelude2" says. Might be wise to re-install that one too [22:21] that happens when i run sudo nm-applet [22:21] coachz: nm-applet is a GUI app. it is running in your panel. you do not invoke it from the command line. [22:21] coachz: try with out the sudo? [22:22] same error, is it in my menu ? [22:22] coachz: in a default Ubuntu install, yes. [22:22] where do i find it please [22:22] Dr_Willis, and doesn't the INSTALL script you run in order to install it under that directory write anywhere else? From what you say it kind of sounds like linux supports portableapps "natively" [22:22] system / admin or prefs ? [22:22] coachz: not menu. panel. top right of the screen. [22:22] hey, where stored packages get stored in ubuntu? [22:22] MiAlmaLlora: in many ways it does. [22:22] hm [22:23] i have a network connectin icon and a blue tooth icon on top right [22:23] sahilsk: /var/cache/apt .. until you clean it out [22:23] any quick guides on getting python running from apache? [22:23] coachz: and when you click the network connections icon you see no available access points? [22:23] @ d4non I didn't think dparted would backoff a partition sequence. I'f what you you have on the drive is irreplaceable then look up a drive info recovery business on the internet. I don't know how to do it using software that is available to the average user. [22:23] sahilsk, the packarge are stored in var/casche/archives [22:23] ong it took my untill this version of ubuntu to find this program [22:23] MiAlmaLlora: if the user is compiling stuff. the user cant really do anything outside of his home. (well theres /tmp and a few otehr places they can write to) but in theory all user stuff stays in their home [22:23] my access point is not broadcast [22:23] so it won't see it [22:24] coachz: so then why do you think your wireless is not enabled? [22:24] Dr_Willis , so if I put the home directory in a different partition, should I decide to make a reinstall of the operating system, would the programs still work without reinstall? [22:24] hey can some one help my with my computer please [22:24] MiAlmaLlora: in theory yes.. thats how ive done many apps. [22:24] I have a problem that I have no idea how to fix [22:24] ahh, i see a place to connect to hidden access point now [22:24] trying [22:24] MiAlmaLlora: those apps may need specific versions of other system libs. that may be an issue [22:24] chaz3626: you're going to have to narrow it down a bit [22:24] yay it connected !

In order to setup dual boot, I had to use Vista built-in disk management tools to shrink Vista NTFS partition and then install Ubuntu onto remaining space (which generously setup dual-boot easily). This is because if you use gparted to shrink a Vista partition, Vista apparantly sometimes fails to boot (atleast according to several online forums)... But now, I want to shrink [22:26] the vista ntfs partition some more... But if I use Vista's disk management tools to shrink again, would this mess up my Ubuntu system and/or Ubuntu bootablity?

If I look for Linux books what I find most often is about how to do things with the GUI or they rely on "sudo apt-get..." instructions that don't explain the how's and why's behind. Then, I find the other extreme: HOW TO's that are so techy that I cannot understand. Would you recommend me any specific book that suits my needs? [22:27] worked before in 9.1 [22:27] : alright. done working with this for now. Thanks for the help. [22:27] ardchollie:when I am playing on the int3ernet [22:27] <_Trullo> now screen flickers and there's only a login screen.. [22:27] @rip good question ... I want to see the answer to that as well. [22:27] ardchollie:when I am watching a movie [22:27] trullo, did you see my question ? [22:27] Guest72607: sure, good night! [22:27] ardchollie:when nothing is happing it seems to be random [22:27] MiAlmaLlora: i have a great many linux books with details on NON gui stuff. :) look for better books... [22:27] AUDIO BROKE [22:28] MiAlmaLlora: i buy what books i find in the bargin bins and read them.. and keep them in the loo. [22:28] at least for my abondoned friend [22:28] :) [22:28] <_Trullo> I don't know what I upgraded.. I just pressed yes, it had something to do with nvidia drivers tho [22:28] I've upgraded UNR 9.04 to 9.10 on my eee pc using the update manager, and the eee is hosed. GRUB stage1.5 error, either 15 or 5. Doesn't start from a fresh SD with 9.10 on it... [22:28] MiAlmaLlora: or you can find online/html/pdfs of many of them. Depends on what aspect of linux you are interested in. one book is never going to cover everything [22:28] rampage73: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/dhcp3-server [22:28] ardchollie: may I pm you? [22:28] :) === imlad|away is now known as imlad [22:28] Dr_Willis, I have been trying to take off with Linux From Scratch but... to no avail :S [22:28] trullo, so format and reinstall since you seem clueless about what you are doing [22:28] I screwed up a ntfs partition in ubuntu installating program, I picked the ntfs partition with most free space on it and I thought it's gonna make a new partition in the free space, but it removed the partition and formatted the amount of free space into ext3 and the rest became regular unalocated space, any hope to recover the data? Did not Write anything in there yet! [22:29] <_Trullo> I'm clueless about ubuntu yes [22:29] MiAlmaLlora: read, learn, play, apply, reread, discover you FINALLY figured out what book # 9183 chapter 3 was talking about. :) play some more.. read some more [22:29] well seems like 910 is the greatest fail of cononical, nice that we have 10sec boot, but problems everywhere [22:29] so format, reinstall and be happy [22:29] d4non, theoretically yes, Ive never done recovery on ubuntu, but I have done it on windows before. [22:29] it only takes 30 mins [22:29] dcosta, thanks will keep that in mind [22:29] Im trying to build xsp but getting this "Cannot open assembly '/opt/mono/lib/mono/2.0/sn.exe': No such file or directory." How come I dont have the sign-tool installed? I have build mono in a parallell env.? [22:29] !away > imlad [22:29] imlad, please see my private message [22:29] MiAlmaLlora: i have whole books on just using the vi and emacs editors. :) and books on just 'sed' and 'awk' - Its all handy to learn [22:29] Thinking of pursuing professional Linux education/certification and was wondering if anyone can provide some advice. Anyone know anything about LPIC? Is LPIC a reputable known certification? Would anyone recommend it? I don't want to specialiaze is RedHat so not interested in RHCE etc. Can yone recommend anything else? a course maybe? [22:30] _Trullo, Do you know how to get around using the live cd and a terminal? If so it's an easy fix.. [22:30] LucidGuy: learn them all, do them all,. Pump up that resume! [22:30] LucidGuy: RHCE can help you with general Linux education [22:30] check this out: http://ntfs-recovery.com/ [22:30] d4non, the idea is to install recovery software on another PC (make sure you have enough free space on that PC to put all your recovered data on it). [22:30] <_Trullo> I have a terminal from this computer [22:30] Dr_Willis , I can see your point, this is an issue of lifelong learning... probably many lives... Yeah, I get what you mean but I often think that I am making so much effort for so little practical results... that's why I was beginning to think about being selective [22:31] LucidGuy: Id say that 80% of all linux is the same 'core' stuff.. the other 20% is just disrto specific diffeances/tools/issues. [22:31] d4non, and then install recovery software on that PC. Then put your HDD into the other PC as a slave disk. The rest should be in a tutorial online somewhere. [22:31] MiAlmaLlora: this one might be helpful: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html [22:31] MiAlmaLlora: start with learning bash.. :) its always good to know bash very very well.. then go for regular expressions.. :) [22:31] LucidGuy, a computer system administration course will cover a lot of what you wish to learn. [22:31] MiAlmaLlora: then go for learning a language or 2.. like Python [22:32] MiAlmaLlora: the 'regular expressions' will help out both in bash and python. Then you reelize you can apply python knowledge to your bash ussage. :) [22:32] knoppies sad thing is that it is a notebook computer and I don't have a cable to connect it to my pc [22:32] knoppies I even borrowed an external drive [22:32] i am newbie to ubuntu. currently using 9.10. and want to change the login screen theme how can i do tht???? i have already downloaded the login theme from gnome website. having extension .tar.bz2 but i don't know wat to do now. [22:32] oCean_ thanks I'll look into it === MarkDude_ is now known as MarkDude [22:33] MiAlmaLlora: i will say that 'regular expressions' are one of the most amazing things ive seen/learned :) but sadly enough - i dont really use them on a day to day basis [22:33] d4non, I know you can buy adapters that enable you to connect notebook drives into other PCs (IDE ones). I would assume you can connect a notebook SATA disk into a PC with a normal SATA cable. [22:33] Dr_Willis , my programming experience has been full of failed attempts to learn as well :) I mostly have studied C because I thought it was the language linux "spoke" [22:33] d4non, I wouldnt turn the notebook on with that drive in as master, you run the risk of loosing that data. [22:33] MiAlmaLlora: i rarely ever touch C or C++. My needs i can do with Python and perl. [22:34] MiAlmaLlora: of course Im not a programmer.. Im a 'user' :) [22:34] * Dr_Willis is addicted to perl. [22:34] i always use c++ just because i find it easier [22:34] how do you determine if a partition is "mountable", and if it isn't how do you make it so? [22:34] d4non. You could also look into getting a professional to do it. But I dont know if they specialize in linux partitions, or what you should expect to pay. [22:34] Pointers.. confuse me. :) and OOP seems... OOD. [22:35] Dr_Willis, what do you mean by OOD? [22:35] pointers confuse everyone [22:35] knoppies I am on livecd ubuntu [22:35] hello [22:35] Dr_Willis , I guess I'm looking forward to becoming a power-user as well, but I thought in order to feel comfortable compiling Linux applications and to know what I was doing at the same time, I needed C knowledge... what do I need then? [22:35] knoppies: odd :) [22:35] hey [22:35] after c knowledge you need to something to use it on [22:35] <_Trullo> so how do I fix the flickering screen at boot? [22:35] knoppies I heard that notebooks sata/ata interfaces differ in size so you must buy a damn cable to connect it [22:35] i have problems with installing my rt2870 drivers under Ubuntu 9.10, i need special drivers, console gives me error 2 [22:35] MiAlmaLlora: i compile lots of things.. with very little C knowledge.. :) i just learned to read the proper docs.. and run the proper commands.. and toruble shoot the make/confogure issues.. to learn what dev packages the apps need. [22:36] MiAlmaLlora: i cant even do a helloworld.c without looking up examples... [22:36] d4non, ah. I tried that once, but never quiet got it to work. What you want to do is install some recover software on your PC. Not sure how you going to do that from the live CD. I know you can custom build liveCDs though.

[22:36] Can I have a alternative in linux for photdex proshowgold producer? [22:36] Dr_Willis, isn't perl4 forward OO as well [22:37] fusion: the easiest way is System > Administration > Login Window, then dragged the tar.bz2 to the theme selection area. [22:37] i have problems with installing my rt2870 drivers under Ubuntu 9.10, i need special drivers, console gives me error 2 [22:37] Dr_Willis , mmm, so what's wrong in my current methodology (i.e. why is it failing so soundly?), is it just lack of patience for reading the doc files that come inside the tarballs? [22:37] zilla1: proberly.. but i never can figure out how to actually 'use' OO stuff in my programs.. of course my programs are proberly 100 lines long tops.. and do trivial things [22:37] Is there any such quick launch mac style app bar like this http://www.ilmaisohjelmat.fi/assets/images/ohjelmat/rocketdock.jpg [22:37] how is ati support versus nvidia under karmic? I'm looking to do 4 monitors. === dvz- is now known as jmlady [22:38] i have problems with installing my rt2870 drivers under Ubuntu 9.10, i need special drivers, console gives me error 2 [22:38] coachz, AWN and Cairo-dock are dockbars. I prefer Cairo-dock2.0 to AWN. Is that what you looking for? [22:38] !repeat [22:38] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [22:38] coachz: tons of them, cairo dock, wbar, gnome-do has a bar like that in a plugin [22:38] ctmjr: i have checked tht but does not found any theme area [22:38] thanks [22:38] cool ! [22:38] MiAlmaLlora: i have more linux books in my bathroom-library then You could carry :) ive collected them over 10+ years.. I find the most techy-nerdy-NO pictures linux bookx.. and read/skim them.. then i move to the next.. eventually the peices fall into place [22:38] ctmjr: where i can drag things [22:38] TechieWolf: post all your error not only the code [22:39] MiAlmaLlora: then i go back a reread the books i barely understood.. and realoze what they were talking about. [22:39] Dr_Willis youre using karmic? [22:39] epinky, [22:39] what is gnome-do ?

[22:40] coachz: AWN (avant window navigator) [22:40] that's cool but for now i want a doc for icons [22:41] i probably will use both [22:41] coachz: huh? doc for icons? [22:41] Dock you mean. :) [22:41] Dr_Willis: a dock bar like in OSX [22:41] a dock to launch apps from an icon [22:41] coachz: awn and cairo-dock are popular [22:41] coachz, AWN and Cairo-dock do that. [22:41] coachz: the 'docky' theme of gnome-do is getting removed - theres a program out in the ppa repos called 'docky' now thats a stand alone dock. it works very well [22:41] ctmjr: actually their i am not getting "login window" i am getting "login screen" which only contains settings [22:41] do either of them let you do folders that drop down with contents ? [22:41] ardchoille: ive come to the conclusion that docks are not as usefull to me as a real panel. :) [22:41] coachz: both do, it's called "stacks" [22:42] Dr_Willis: same [22:42] yeah i agree [22:42] nice [22:42] I got 'docky' running. its a fancy launcher.. big deal :) heh [22:42] knoppies yes [22:42] this is what i get during the fresh install of 9.10- http://imagebin.ca/view/h5y8LBE.html any ideas on how to make it see my partitions? this is the 3rd cd and image download, tried on a usb also, all the same [22:42] d4non: http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/ [22:43] fusion: there should be a window to select login screen you just need to drag the tar ball to the window [22:43] fusion: most of the functionality was removed in the latest gdm, so you're pretty much out of luck until they decide to add that back in [22:43] coachz: here is a recent screenshot of mine showing the AWN dock: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_ThiU34JN_2E/SoIG6agw9hI/AAAAAAAAArY/3VHoWTzm7vQ/s800/scr-20090811.png [22:43] d4non, hope that helps.

[22:44] should firefox open it when i double click the link in xchat ? [22:44] xcat === default is now known as xcat [22:44] coachz, right click the link. [22:44] coachz: right click, open in browser [22:44] ah [22:44] looks cool [22:45] thats a long link :) [22:45] so any big diffs of cairo and awn ? [22:45] fusion: you can change the wallpaper if you want though, gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties; [22:45] knoppies thx will take a look at it :) [22:45] coachz: try them both and see which one works for you [22:45] coachz: i find most docks .. err.. suck. :P [22:45] i love my rocket dock in xp [22:45] 'docky' at least has lasted 5+ days now that i have it running... thats a record for me and docks [22:46] lol [22:46] i just installed cairo [22:46] emma: the customization of gdm (the stuff that used to be in System/Administration/Login Window) [22:46] trism_: wat can i do now switch to 9.04 again? i just wanted to learn ubuntu no matter what it takes [22:46] it has a whole 3 launchers showing, and 3 tools/widgits.. for info. :) [22:46] Dr_Willis, suppose that means your not very big on desktop icons either, and you like to launch things in the terminal? correct me if Im wrong. [22:46] knoppies: with gnome-do i dont even need desktop icons, or a terminal :) [22:46] it gave me a clock ! [22:46] Dr_Willis, maybe I should have a look into that. [22:47] coachz, it can do more than just a clock, play around with it. [22:47] SeaPhor|borked: Vista partitions? [22:47] hehe [22:47] trism_: i see. I feel so many things are being changed in ubuntu some times. Like a lot of people used to know how to configure their xorg.conf files to get what they want and need. But now they cannot and it's not clear what to do. It's like more stuff is done automatically but out of sight. [22:47] knoppies: yea. gnome-do is worth trying out.. the docs are a litle sparce on actually how to 'use' it. but its a nifty tool [22:47] fusion: I wouldn't switch back to 9.04 just because you can't do much to theme gdm, you hardly spend any time on that screen [22:47] trism_: That's a very good point [22:47] fusion: you can downgrade to the older gdm.. but i wouldent bother. [22:48] ahh the dock showed up on my 2nd monitor :-) [22:48] fusion: make gdm auto login to your main user. and never worry about gdm :P [22:48] i have a computer on two networks, one is 169.254.10.x and the other is 192.168.1.x. 192.168.1.x network has internet and the computer has a proxy setup right now to listen on port 8118. i setup privoxy as an intercepting proxy- and used iptables to redirect all web traffic to the intercepting proxy. how can i get all computers on 169.254.10.x to automatically use the privoxy proxy? [22:48] And downgrading releases is not supported in Ubuntu. So you would have to do a full fresh install. [22:48] Dr_Willis, I like learning by playing with things, so I dont read docs (unless its tutorials) [22:48] coachz: yep. somd docls are brain dead in that area [22:48] where do i tell cairo to only be on one monitor ? [22:48] coachz: there is cairo-dock and cairo-clock [22:48] knoppies: thers too many little things that get overlooked with gnome-do if you doo that. [22:49] the dock is spanning both monitors [22:49] DR_willis: hmm,,,, u r right [22:49] Dr_Willis, then what do you suggest I do? read the docs? [22:49] coachz, right click on the dock, and select: cairo-dock -> configure [22:49] yes i'm there [22:49] coachz: alt key left click to drag the dock around [22:49] knoppies: explore the gnome-do web site :) there may be some new goodies there to use [22:50] perfect ! [22:50] hi people! how do you install fonts as system fonts? [22:50] Does EXT4 support ACLs? [22:50] can i make the dock hide off the screen [22:50] till i hit the edge ? [22:50] Roasted: it should [22:50] lstarnes - hmm... I'm using a gui app to edit ACLs and it errors out. The documentation on the web site this means your FS doesnt support ACLs *shrug* [22:51] can i login as root in ubuntu?. i have tried 2-3 times but it returns authenctication failure [22:51] coachz, yes. Have a look in cairo-dock -> configure. [22:51] Hmm. Cairo dock was so smart.. it decided to go to the Middle of my 2 monitors... :( [22:51] looks great [22:51] Roasted: you might need to mount it with acl support [22:51] how is ati support versus nvidia under karmic? I'm looking to do 4 monitors. [22:51] Dr_Willis, you can offset it to one side. [22:51] lstarnes - ahhhhh yeah... that's just adding a switch to the line in fstab right [22:51] fstab is configurated ? [22:51] dr_willis - cairo dock has horizontal alignment somewhere in their horrible control panel [22:51] <_Trullo> ok, xbmc works again === trism_ is now known as trism [22:51] knoppies: yea. looking at the AMAZING config window now. :) gee.. could they have made it any more fancy looking :P [22:52] coachz: do as knoppies say's there is also a channel for cairo-dock #cairo-dock [22:52] Roasted: i was just thinking that also [22:52] hey guys, how do you install fonts after you put them into a directory like $HOME/.fonts ? [22:52] thanks [22:52] how do you let the system know they are there? ) [22:52] dr_willis - I've used AWN, cario dock, and docky, all 3 of them extensively. cairo dock made me sick. :( [22:52] Dr_Willis, it seems they got their inspiration from the compiz settings manager. [22:52] knoppies - yeah, in a 1980's retro style [22:52] progre55: have you put them in your ~/.fonts folder? [22:52] at least compiz makes sense and is laid out with some degree of intelligence [22:53] moymoy: yep [22:53] hey quick question does ubuntu work well on a macbookpro? so far i tried freebsd, impossible to get the write keymap :\ and slackware.. no trackpad driver + xorg was pretty massed up [22:53] Roasted, I prefer cairo-dock to AWN, you just have to turn off the resize on hover thing. [22:53] knoppies: i was just thinking that. :) [22:53] have you guys tried out gnome shell? [22:53] knoppies - did you try the beta of AWN yet? [22:53] knoppies - its pretty darn spiffy! :P [22:53] this is what i get during the fresh install of 9.10- http://imagebin.ca/view/h5y8LBE.html any ideas on how to make it see my partitions? this is the 3rd cd and image download, tried on a usb also, all the same [22:53] roasted, I dont know. Doubt it. I might have a look. [22:53] can i login as root in ubuntu?. i have tried 2-3 times but it returns authentication failure. [22:53] i know the live cd is a good tool to check if parts are functionign but how about as a primary os on the comp? osx isent working to well with me [22:53] progre55: do `fc-cache -f` [22:53] =P [22:54] knoppies - I was running it on my rig for about a week and I really liked it. It actually supports multi monitors now! (finally) but I went back to Docky. Simplicity yet functional. [22:54] fusion, you cannot log in as root, prepend sudo to the commands you want to run as root [22:54] moymoy: yeah, that's what I was looking for ) thanks man [22:54] progre55: no problem [22:54] what can i create a iso with? [22:54] fusion, I may be wrong, you might be able to log in as root, Ive never actually tried. [22:54] !sudo | fusion [22:54] fusion: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [22:55] to get to root you can type sudo bash [22:55] Ok.. cairo dock needs to get off the Caffine a bit.. :) [22:55] roasted, somebody stole my other monitor, so Im only using one at the moment. [22:55] There's really no need to log in as root user in Ubuntu. I have been running Ubuntu as my sole distro since 2004 and never needed to log in as root [22:55] lol, dr_willis [22:55] anyone know much about ATI support and multip monitors? [22:55] sudo -i, sudo -s [22:55] etc. [22:55] 3d animated cube icons when laucnhing.. is a tad overkill [22:55] knoppies: root doesn't have a password, but if you set one for it, you can log in.. (usermod command) .. good to know.. but pretty useless [22:55] Yeah.. you dont need to be root... but if you want to just sudo bash [22:55] knoppies - sounds like somebody could check out zoneminder - linux based CCTV security system :P :P [22:55] Dr_Willis: a tad? ;) [22:56] hi [22:56] dr_willis - have you played with any other docks? [22:56] Roasted, I will have a look into that, but I know the person who stole it. He just so happens to be my cousin. [22:56] whats a good app to create a iso? [22:56] please help [22:56] knoppies - get the bat and get in the car :P [22:56] Roasted: wbat is nice and fast and doesn't need compositing [22:56] movela: have you tried mkisofs? [22:56] movela, do you mean create an iso from a disk? [22:56] *wbar [22:56] Roasted: ive been using docky (and the gnome-do dock theme) mainly. The otehrs ive tried have all had too many problems [22:56] movela, or burn an iso to disk? [22:57] is there any xorg server package compatible with an intel 915 GM card having support for virtual resolutions? default one doesn't have this option at the visual config app [22:57] anyone here use Pekwm as their window manager? [22:57] make an iso [22:57] ardcfoille:can i login as root in ubuntu?. i have tried 2-3 times but it returns authenctication failure [22:57] movela, bin/cue to iso file? [22:57] movela: k3b k9copy [22:57] has anyone figured out how to play .pls files in google chrome? [22:57] i was doing some reading an come across something that suggests you shouldnt defrag hardrives linux is running on why is this? [22:57] dr_willis - I agree.

(dot) files.. then rename your current /home to /back_home.. make your change in /etc/fstab for the new uuid drive reference and reboot.. done :) [23:33] monga: so once it copies it once, it will only copy what's changed [23:33] flooten: what is a "usplash" screen [23:33] trevorj sounds neat [23:33] monga: and it works great with a whole bunch of data, I use it daily to backup over 110G of data personally [23:33] scunizi: unfortuantely, it is a laptop internal hdd (and replacement hdd)... So I cannot use both old and new hdd at same tiem... so, gparted doesn't provide capability to "clone" a hdd? [23:33] hi all [23:33] rip: clonezilla is your answer then. [23:33] trevorj is there a script you can write that automatically rsyncs it daily? [23:34] Hi all. It appears gnome-settings-daemon "steals" the ctrl-alt-n key on session startup, so that compiz can't use it. Why might it be doing that? How do I make it not do that? [23:34] Wallace the load screen to load up ubuntu [23:34] monga: yeah, easily [23:34] d4non: well, if you reformatted it, you may be stuffed anyway. If you want to play it safe, and you have enough capacity elsewhere, then take a copy of the partition before you start [23:34] rip: gotta run.. good luck [23:34] when i use ssh -X or ssh -Y, i can have the X output, but how can i obtain the audio output on my client computer ? [23:34] msg nickserv identify 23225 [23:34] scunizi: thx [23:34] flooten: ubuntu normally uses grub that i'm aware of - i've never heard of "usplash" [23:34] for(i=0;i<64;i+=4){*(long *)&buf[i]=retaddr;} [23:34] vock: you might wanna change your password now [23:34] does ubuntu 9.10 employ parallel booting?

[23:36] sekyourbox: mplayer [23:36] trevorj: well, i'm stumped there then :\ [23:36] lstarnes: woops, thanks [23:36] mynameguy: if it gets hot, you probably have cooling issues in your laptop [23:36] sekyourbox: mplayer will play (roughly speaking) everything. If you add a codec pack here or there, it'll even play the really obscure things [23:36] I installed ubuntu desktop on my new netbook and had to manually add some laptop stuff, but that's to be expected i guess [23:36] mynameguy: I had to apply thermal paste to my macbook pro because they ladled it on like candy [23:36] trevorj: No it was not hot while using Vista [23:37] d4non: look at "dd" - copies raw data. you want something like dd if=/dev/hda1 of= /mnt/external-drive/partition-bak.dat (don't take my word for that cmdline though) [23:37] (like mod files, sid/ay/tfmx files, etc.) [23:37] seems to be working fine so far but i still need to do some tweaking to get the best battery life i think [23:37] mynameguy: whats your loadavgs like? [23:37] I was just wondering if anyone knew if an ubuntu minimal build install was going to be released for 9.10? [23:37] seems to get about the same battery life as windows 7 so far :/ [23:37] mynameguy: and it really doesn't matter if it worked fine on windows or not [23:37] Anyone else unable to ping/get updates from security.ubuntu.com ? [23:37] trevorj: how to check them? [23:37] how can i view hidden folders in the browser ? [23:37] mynameguy: $ uptime [23:38] d4non, just dd it,, do dd --help and look here http://www.crazytrain.com/dd.html [23:38] well.. if it's much hotter in linux than windows it might be that the cpu throttling or fan control isnt working properly in linux.. [23:38] templar: 100% packet loss for me right now [23:38] coachz: nautilus? ctrl+h [23:38] coachz: or view --> show hidden files [23:38] Wallace, thx. :( [23:38] auto fan speed seems to work better in ubuntu than windows 7 for me :D [23:38] is there still a power pc version of ubuntu? [23:38] zerq: I didn't think about fan control not working [23:38] zerq: good idea [23:38] msleather: unofficially [23:39] trevorj: load average: 0.00 0.04 0.06 [23:39] mynameguy: whats the temp? can you run an acpi -V? [23:39] zerq could you direct me? [23:39] trevorj: ok [23:39] mynameguy: just paste me the thermals [23:39] how do i copy my path in the browser please ? [23:39] trevorj: acpi is not installed [23:39] mynameguy: apt-get install acpi [23:39] msleather: I got a recent version for ppc a while back.. one sec [23:39] coachz: ctrl+l to show the location bar [23:39] i am using a pb g4 tonite at work and wanted to do something to kill time since i have to work and this thing is here. it is a powerbook G4 [23:40] thanks [23:40] thanks ! [23:40] coachz: or click the pen icon :) [23:40] ikonia [23:40] msleather: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads [23:40] Wallace, , i see that now ! [23:40] nice [23:40] thank you zerq [23:41] mynameguy: http://code-saturne.blogspot.com/2009/08/linuxubuntu-on-lenovo-thinkpad.html [23:41] mynameguy: before looking there however [23:41] mynameguy: you might want to look into your BIOS setup and see what it's fan settings are [23:41] what packages are supposed to be installed for totem to play regular .avi files? [23:41] Hi. After an automatic software update, my ubuntu 9 laptop suddenly lost its ability to produce sound. what could be wrong? [23:42] I have 2 network connections (wifi & mobile/3G). I want my VPN to come up automatically when the 3G comes up, but not the wifi - any idea how i do it in network manager (or if i can at all) [23:42] msleather: no problem.. worked very well on my g4 powerbook when i tried, except there is no native flash plugin because adobe are dicks.. and the open source ones are still pretty sketchy [23:42] why are they discriminating against ppc platform? one would think this was a windows channel ;) [23:42] amaurea: try the obvious...check the volume settings ;) [23:42] amaurea: are your mixers muted? [23:42] trevorj: yes [23:43] benedikt: .avi files are just a container format, they can contain a multitude of formats inside of them [23:43] benedikt: you'll prolly want to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-* [23:43] This may sound like a silly question, but I want to install MediaWiki; i'm totally new to ubuntu. Do I specifically need Ubuntu Server Edition, or can I install Apache and MySql etc on the "regular" ubuntu distribution? [23:43] trevorj: i know. i have gstreamer plugins. [23:43] benedikt: promiscuousmode you can do it on both =) [23:43] er [23:43] great thanks [23:43] promiscuousmode: you can do it on both =) [23:43] Wallace, trevorj: Not muted, but the PCM dial was turned down to the bottom. So that was simple to fix. Thanks! But what could have caused that to happen? [23:43] promiscuous: either [23:44] it sure is lonely on this on the ppc section of ubuntu.com :D [23:44] amaurea: alsa stores your mixer settings upon shutdown and restores them upon bootup [23:44] trevorj: what? priscous mode is ethernet stuff. Wrong hilight? [23:44] did i mention that Ubuntu is MUCH nicer than Windows 7 ? holy crap, who knew [23:44] promiscuousmode, Ubuntu server and desktop are not really much different, unlike windows XP and windows server which are two completely different beasts. [23:44] benedikt: yup [23:44] amaurea: if that mixer name changed with a sound driver update [23:44] amaurea: it could reset it back to zero [23:45] amaurea: or if it failed to restore the old setting [23:45] trevorj: ok. actually, the computer had trouble rebooting after the update. I guess that might have caused it [23:45] amaurea: that could DEFINATELY cause it [23:45] msleather: yeah, not much support from anyone for ppc these days :/ I have a bare bones version of debian running on my old pismo (g3 powerbook) and it works great.. ubuntu was too much for it though [23:45] promiscuousmode, it's more of a different 'pre selected bundle of packages' for server/desktop. Some kernel changes based on server I/O increases, but really not really any difference to a beginner [23:45] debian still has an "official" ppc distro i think.. [23:45] promiscuousmode: stop viewing all of my packets [23:46] anybody know how I can run a script when network interfaces come up via network manager? [23:46] zerq, Nah they stopped after like 2006 [23:46] zerq: since ubuntu doesnt support ppc any more id recomend debian for anyone with ppc [23:46] actually i see panther may be to much for it zerq :) [23:46] zerq, Sorry, I meant Ubuntu. [23:46] the ubuntu one is still pretty well maintained, it's just not supported [23:46] thanks everyone [23:46] By the way; i ahve another small problem. Whenever I choose suspnd manually, the mouse has forgotten its speed etc. when I exit from suspend. However, if I just use the auto-suspend from closing the lid, that doesn't happen. Very odd. [23:46] Wallace: doesn't networkmanager still call the /etc/network/if-up.d/* scripts? [23:46] trevorj: oh. that was a nick... [23:46] my lilttle macbook runs elive with no problem. [23:46] trevorj: not init deamon. [23:47] not = new [23:47] mynameguy: ping [23:47] trevorJ: any idea which one? I expected them to be named after the interface === technokrat is now known as technokrat2 === Zargle_ is now known as Zargle [23:47] hi folks, I've got a problem with lame in 9.10: it says "lame: symbol lookup error: lame: undefined symbol: lame_set_write_id3tag_automatic" [23:47] Wallace: they are all called upon any interface up [23:47] this powerbook g4 has a big beautifuul scrren and everyhing ibut is super sluggish. my god. [23:48] looks like the symbol lame_set_write_id3tag_automatic is not defined in /usr/local/lib/libmp3lame.so.0 [23:48] download ubunt now. will try debian next. [23:48] trevorj: okay, so how do i write conditional code based upon a specific interface? (I want to replace my hosts file with a different one depending on the interface in use) [23:48] has anyone installed openemm on ubuntu server? [23:48] Hans-Martin: sounds like some package hasn't been built with the latest libraries, or you have mismatched versions of files for lame [23:49] if so could you msg me [23:49] Wallace: they are called with $1 being the interface name, iirc === imlad|away is now known as imlad [23:49] trevorj: ahh, kthx, will look into it [23:49] help me please , i accidently deleted /etc/alternatives how can i get it back, i am using Jaunty 9.0.4 [23:49] Wallace: I was wrong, it's actually $IFACE [23:49] Hans-Martin: you aren't using sources from another distro in your ubuntu or mixing jaunty/hardy/karmic sources are you? [23:49] trevorj: cool, thx [23:50] Anyone fimiliar with freenx? [23:50] JairunCaloth: yep [23:50] when will the next ubuntu beta release be available? [23:50] amaurea: update-alternatives --all [23:50] trevorj: I suspected that at first, but the problem persists after re-installing the relevant libs. I will try to see whether lame uses additional libs which might be outdated. [23:50] trevorj: time for some script hacking then [23:50] trevorj: what does that do? [23:51] amaurea: sorry [23:51] ami_: update-alternatives --all [23:51] thanks a lor trevorj [23:51] trevorj: I'm using public key auth only for ssh. And I can't seem to get my keys setup correctly to connect via nxclient remotly [23:51] ardchoille: I don't think that 'm mixing sources, but this system has been built by consecutive updates from edgy eft on I think. [23:51] JairunCaloth: you need to grab the nx client key as well unless you used the nx default [23:51] trevorj: also, do you know how I can kick off a vpn connection configured in network manager from the cmdline? I want my vpn to come up if I connect my wireless (3g/mobile) , but not my wifi [23:51] JairunCaloth, can you connect to your ssh server fine using an ssh client? [23:52] Any quick way I can convert a bunch of jpegs to 24-bit windows bmp's? [23:52] Hans-Martin: ok [23:52] trevorj update-alternatives: unable to install /etc/alternatives/rvim.dpkg-tmp as /etc/alternatives/rvim: No such file or directory [23:52] trevorj: I don't want to use the default keys [23:52] sharperguy: imagemagic/imagemagik if it's still around [23:52] Wallace: configured from network-manager? sorry, possibly something with nm-tool [23:52] ardchoille: I've checked sources.list, only karmic repositories there [23:52] Hans-Martin: Ok, good job [23:52] sharperguy: as Wallace said, imagemagick is the package name, convert is the program [23:53] Wallace: it's still around :) [23:53] mMezquitale: yes I can connect via ssh fine [23:53] JairunCaloth: are you aware of how NX authenticates? [23:53] trevorj: the gui network manager...I've configured it all in there but i only want my vpn to connect if my 3g lilnk comes up [23:53] traveller, Wallace, looks like I already have it, tnaks [23:53] *thanks [23:53] trevorj: I think I'm definatly missing something. [23:53] platform is ubuntu intrepid amd64 - tryinig to install libgtk2.0-dev it complains that I have libgtk2.14.4-0ubuntu2 installed and it wants ubuntu1 - - - maybe disabling intrepid-proposed then --reinstalling libgtk2.0-0 will get me libgtk2.14.4-0ubuntu1 and so allow me to install -dev ?? anyone?? [23:53] trevorj: ... so i want to script it [23:53] JairunCaloth: nx connects using the "nx" user using the NX server ssh key [23:54] JairunCaloth: the nx user's shell is set to the nxserver's cli program [23:54] JairunCaloth: nx then authenticates your sessions through that program [23:54] could anybody with 9.04 or 9.10 (and lame) execute "nm /usr/bin/lame|fgrep lame_set_write_id3tag_automatic" to see whether they have this symbol in their lib? [23:54] JairunCaloth: so it doesn't even use ssh on your username at all === carlos is now known as Guest56231 [23:54] is there any way to get to bookmarks in a file dialog box ? [23:55] Could someone suggest to me a disk 'wiper'? A complete clean of my 'so called deleted' files? That wipes them as 0s. Can do it on mounted partitions on openspace [23:55] trevorj: I see. It is failing while attempting to connect to the NX server. My machine won't let the NX user in. [23:55] Trizicus: dd will do it [23:55] trizicus: dd [23:55] FIReun: The fascist was completely uncalled for. There are differences between ubuntu and debian and if we assume that you use debian, some assumptions might be false, which ultimately leads to a a lot of wasted time. Try to be a little polite nect time. [23:55] Trizicus: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/blah [23:55] trevorj: it will do empty space on /? [23:55] trizicus: dd if=/dev/zero of .... trevor beat me, but you could also use /dev/random instead of /dev/zero [23:56] Trizicus: yeah.. dd will fill up the entire drive with zeros.. then delete that one file [23:56] Trizicus: it will get rid of =everything= [23:56] Trizicus: you may want to run it nine times [23:56] Hi.. does anyone know how I can get the Evolution mail icon to stop showing up in the indicator-applet area? (On karmic.) Thanks. [23:56] Trizicus: dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/bunchozeros [23:56] Well I dont want it to delete my / partition I just want it to 'clean' it but leave data intact that hasnt been deleted [23:56] trevorj: I was using this doc to configure, but it fails still https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [23:56] moymoy: if you do it write, it will overwrite the entire filesystem, not just create a file [23:56] Trizicus: let it run until the drive is filled to 100% [23:56] s/write/right [23:56] whoiswho: I have been trying to do the same thing on Jaunty [23:57] really? i don't think i had the icon in jaunty. [23:57] Trizicus: make a backup, wipe the drive nine times, then restore the backup [23:57] Wallace: not if you specify of=/path/file ... if you specify of=/dev/someblockdevice, then yes, it'll overwrite the filesystem [23:57] Trizicus: because if you just run it once it's possible to grab your files because the tracks on your drive are slightly wider than your heads [23:57] trevorj: That is just a little complicated. I remember in windows there is software that does it w/o the need to backup is there anything in linux that can do that? [23:57] Trizicus: so sometimes they move slightly [23:57] But, yeah, I don't use Evolution and get annoyed at that icon for wasting space in my panel [23:57] trevorj: I know that lol :D [23:57] moymoy: that would be the way to do it :) [23:58] eek - sorry folks, it was my fault, I had conflicting libs in /usr/local/lib [23:58] I'm almost ready to remove the indicator-applet entirely [23:58] Hi can anyone help me with a screen problem. A lot of the windows on my net book are to big to be viewed. I've altered the resolution, resized them, moved them and I don't know what else to do [23:58] Trizicus: when do it how moymoy said to do it, but do it a bunch of times [23:58] Hans-Martin: glad you got it sorted [23:58] Trizicus: and I highly reccommend doing it from a livecd [23:58] whois: right click, select remove from panel [23:58] Trizicus: let it fill completely to 100% [23:58] Trizicus: then do it more times [23:58] Trizicus: =) [23:58] Trizicus: after deleting said zero file of course [23:58] trevorj: That requires too much intervention lol [23:59] Wallace: but, isn't that the same applet that's used to show me, for example, packages that need to be updated? [23:59] Trizicus: then you can do it live the way moymoy said to do it, but you will still have some leftover space that hasn't been zeroed [23:59] useless
