[00:00] Trizicus: you don't have to boot into the liveCD, you can boot into recovery mode and do it as root, as root will not have to mount /home, so it'd be safe to fill that partition up to 100% [00:00] trevorj: Well I figured however I'd like to be able to setup a wipe for / with atleast 10 passes w/o intervention [00:00] trizicus: like trevorj says, if you want to remove *everything* and it's your root parition, then boot off a cd and do it [00:00] how do I close then restart wine? === mattgyver[L] is now known as mattgyver [00:01] Trizicus: w/o intervention? as in run it and let it go? or can you boot it into a livecd and then run it and let it go?

[00:03] thanks za [00:03] oty: ah, listen to zaoul [00:03] #winehq [00:03] Trizicus: maybe you can make use of some clever alias that links together `rm` and `shred` so that you'll never have to dd your free space again [00:03] /p [ENTER] /j #winehq [00:03] Hi can anyone help me with a screen problem.

[00:10] seaphor: yes [00:10] I'm new to Linux, anyone know where I could find a good tutorial for the terminal? [00:10] trevorj: when I follow the doc, and specify custom keys, the custom_keys directory never gets created... [00:10] trevorj: however [00:10] JairunCaloth: you ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure freenx-server? [00:10] JairunCaloth: and created one?

Ok, try " sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx " (tab completeion is convenient to avoid misspelling) [00:14] SeaPhor|borked, seems to have worked without the plugin package [00:14] join #ubuntu-fr [00:14] :) [00:15] Wallace: what sound system do you use?

That tends to take a while (as in, hours, sometimes), by the way. [00:42] start the ubuntu install disk and choose something like 50% [00:42] Stargazer: nvidia-glx is a driver. nvidia-settings is a prefpane.

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [00:43] hi everyone. I'm having trouble with a very slow hard drive on ubuntu 9.10. I just booted from Win7 so I know the drive is fast but for some reason everything is ridiculously slow in ubuntu.. hd parm says read speed is 2MB/s and yet DMA is enabled and there is nothing out of the ordinary that I could tell in dmesg [00:43] Look at ur hd size b4 u start to install and divide by half [00:43] is partitioning the disk hard? and how will i do that? does it give me the option when i'm installing win7? [00:43] how many cylinders would be on a 1 gig flash drive? [00:43] rww so i should just drage the arrow thats on the right over to the left and create the partition in the back and move everything over myself when its done? [00:43] I have. [00:43] geek1212121212: anyway. Which keys aren't mapped? [00:44] I'm a linux moron, generally. I need to know if anyone knows how I can execute a command while the system is starting (to set my CPU frequency) [00:44] how do i get a terminal output eg aticonfig --help, to page [00:44] it is to big for the buffer and i lose the start [00:44] Wallace: yeah, noticed, was just wondering if it was a programed downtime or something like that [00:44] look .... select what ever is 50% of ur hd [00:44] Mneptok, anyways... i am using nvidia-settings then. thought it was called nvidia-glx. anyways, that 'prefpane' won't allow me to turn the display. [00:44] Krstnsn: that should take less time, yes [00:44] Guthur: command blah > textfile.txt [00:44] Guthur: aticonfig --help | less [00:44] hyperlite: not that i know of - i've never tried in windows, but if you install ubuntu first, you should be asked if you want to partition the disk - nb: this will delete everything on the disk so be sure you don't want to keep anything [00:44] yea guess 9.10 wasn't ready for public consumption yet [00:45] cheers VCoolio and mneptok [00:45] rww: <> & 456 on numpad to start [00:45] ok i'll give it a shot, thanks === chad_ is now known as Redeemed [00:45] hyperlite: if you install windows 2nd, then you will need to boot off your ubuntu installer disk and re-install grub [00:46] well ... ubuntu will ask if you want to partition ur disk prior to instal even if u hv another os on ur dsk [00:46] hyperlite: actually, that's crap, you probably can partition the disk in the windows installer - ask the boys and girls in #windows to help you with that though [00:46] Hi, I just installed ubuntu with my existing xp installation and when I boot it says GRUB loading. error: no such partition [00:46] What can I do to fix this?

[01:30] vocoolio thanks [01:30] Root as in the /root? [01:30] Yeah, I believe so. [01:30] Wilabob: maybe try ext3? [01:30] The file I want to move in there is located on my desktop [01:30] ChogyDan: nope [01:30] flootenkerp: sudo mv ~/Desktop/file /root [01:31] flootenkerp: I will pm you [01:31] Or that [01:31] Alright, thanks.

[01:31] no [01:31] flootenkerp: except for a .gtkrc-2.0 I never moved a file to /root, so: what are you doing? [01:32] Wilabob: then it must already be mounted. Just chroot into whatever mount point it is using. Something under /media [01:32] Well, I'm trying to edit my usplash [01:32] And I'm doing so with startup manager [01:33] But it only looks for .so files in file system, and root [01:33] how do I find what the mount point is? [01:33] So I want to put the so file in either one of those directories. [01:33] flootenkerp: hmm, that should be /usr/lib/usplash I think, in pre-Karmic distros [01:33] Wilabob: try mount [01:33] sup guys [01:33] hey guys i need some 32bit libraries namely: libgtk-1.2.so.0 [01:34] where would i find it?

What am I looking for? [01:35] surgy: hmm. not sure where to find that [01:36] there's no way to make the gtk file open dialog display as icons / thumbnails..? :/ [01:36] that.. sucks [01:36] ChogyDan: Nevermind found it [01:36] Wilabob: /dev/sda2 on /media/somehting mk [01:36] If my root filesystem is mounted read-only, can I forcibly remount it as read/write?

[02:24] so what is thias http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ [02:24] I'd assume it would be a similar process [02:25] anyone know of a thing to make an analog gamepad behave like a pointing stick nub found on some laptops?

[02:27] Then again, it might be possible to use chroot from the alternative CD... [02:27] Travis: What's the output from "lspci | grep VGA"? [02:27] userone1: Canonical does not provide support for any audio editor that I know of. [02:27] Hello I have a problem with fuzzy sound. I have an HDA Audio card. It has never been this bad until the current version [02:27] i can't get that. [02:27] userone1: However, why are you concerned about that? [02:27] it was so screwed, i had to reformat it and am reinstalling [02:28] wait [02:28] Travis: You'll need that. The "generic" name won't give you enough information.

[02:29] wgrant: just a nice to have. its always good to know security and bug fixes are available easily [02:29] wgrant: i want unlimited megavideo.....they limit your viewing time and they check by using your ip address [02:29] the_lord: So the CPU is sitting waiting for I/O to complete?

[02:30] Wilabob: what is the problem? you just have to edit device.map [02:31] the_lord: Sorry, I don't know enough about your issue to help.

[02:37] mechdave: i figured. its what i use on my gnome cause brasero doesnt have enough features. [02:37] Hi, is there something wrong with the radeon driver? I have a 9250 and compiz is suddenly mind boggeling slow in comparison with 9.04 [02:37] QuestionMark: did you reboot or restart X after installing? === ubuntu is now known as banished [02:37] mechdave: works for me (im using gnome) [02:37] it says installation finished. no error reported. this is the contents of the device map (all ready told you) check if this is correct or not. if any of the lines is incorrect. fix it and re-run the script 'grub-install' and when it when it first runs it gives me the partition error... This is the cmd grub-install --recheck /dev/sda [02:37] silly question: i installed ubuntu server (just downloaded from ubuntu.com), does it not contain a GUI? Once logged in, I get a CLI -- how do I start the GUI? [02:38] startx [02:38] promiscuousmode: ubuntu server doesn't come with a gui by default [02:38] anyone got an aspire one ZG5 netbook internal 3g connection working and want to share how to step by step?

Yours looks good AFAIK [02:38] oh i am using karmic [02:38] ^ What they said [02:38] musikgoat: where do I download it from? [02:38] ChogyDan, Have you updated in the last 24 hours? === DeadDodo is now known as GiantTalkingCow [02:38] ChogyDan: so I should try a reboot? [02:38] promiscuousmode: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [02:38] mechdave: yeah, but I havent got any k3b updates I don't think [02:38] promiscuousmode: you'd have to install it. [02:39] ChogyDan, you are using k3b in gome? [02:39] mechdave: yeah [02:39] Squideshi, that IS what that command spit out [02:39] musikgoat: ok, but I'm having problems even enabling my wireless card... any way for me to download it from here (windows) and then run from within the gui? [02:39] Wilabob: yeah [02:39] * mechdave opens up a terminal and types... [02:39] [musikgoat] thanks so much, bye [02:39] ChogyDan: Okay here goes...

[02:40] Travis: Hmmm... There's usually a PCI ID out front. For example: 00:02.0 [02:40] My burner is toasted in brasero, so no other choice really [02:40] musikgoat i see... no easy way to do it from within the server? i can plug in wired i guess the eth0 is working [02:40] Travis: Have you tried #nvidia ? [02:40] arand_: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package that contains those packages [02:40] promiscuousmode: thats the easiest method [02:40] go wired [02:41] ok, after i do the sudo apt-get, once it's downloaded and installed, i just use "startx" to get into it? [02:41] hi people! I have karmic installed, and trying to use empathy. I had the empathy icon on the top-right corner (with the flashy envelope sign), but then accidentially I "removed it from panel". Now I run it, but when I close the window, I cant see it anymore, although it's running. Any suggestions, please? [02:41] musikgoat: yea, but it will pull in the whole desktop installation, and I'm not sure that's wanted if you want a server, hmm? [02:41] ChogyDan: Nope didn't work [02:41] and the same has happened to pidgin now [02:41] Here is the dmesg for the problem --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/325022/ [02:41] ChogyDan: Now it's reinstall time [02:41] arand_: i wouldn't suggest your method because you don't know if you are getting all that is needed for a good desktop env [02:42] Wilabob: ya [02:42] arand_: but to each their own [02:42] Best graphical Firewall for Notifications and granularity? Opinions anyone?? [02:42] The last bit is where I put in a blank disk [02:42] HELLO [02:42] ChogyDan: If it does it again then what?

[02:43] i have no Squideshi, let me go there [02:43] ewwwww [02:43] ChogyDan: So I would have to install like 9.04 or something? [02:44] Thanks. Am going to go there [02:44] why is xterm-256color not default? [02:44] Pushing 2010 and we default to 8bit term colors? [02:44] I enabled desktop compositing and my screen got scrambled. How do I turn it off from the terminal? [02:44] srsly? [02:44] Wilabob: why 9.04, did that work for you? [02:44] Wilabob: whatever works [02:45] ChogyDan: would installing 9.04 then updating possibly work? [02:45] keppi: sudo su, enter your pass... then open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf and comment out the compositing line [02:45] Wilabob: ya. And then just forget about grub2 for now [02:45] yea no good answer? === kiwifunk is now known as b0w [02:45] nobody likes 256 term colors?

[02:46] zaoul: I looked for /etc/X11/xorg.conf and I didn't see the file. Running xubuntu if that makes a difference [02:46] keppi: tab completion is your friend [02:46] Thermoelectric: you would have to just reinstall.

[02:57] I see manual, yes [02:57] hey all is it possible to move the last login message after the MOTD? [02:57] Do I just specify that it should use the current ext3 partition without format? [02:57] JoshV: use manual, and you can then overwrite your / and swap, and leave /home alone [02:57] I don't remember allocating swap space in Hardy. Was it optional at the time? [02:58] JoshV: its always optional, but recommended [02:58] Guys, whats a .so file? [02:58] Has anyone managed to remove wodim and install cdrtools-2.0 with success?

[03:28] Other than that, upgrade was smooth. [03:28] bastidrazor: no [03:28] Fezzler: "Telling on boot one harddrive is failing." Can you rephrase that? [03:28] Hi, I locked my rsync at 2.6.9 and now everytime I use aptitude i get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/325051/ I never got this when rsync was locked in 9.04. How do i fix this? [03:29] <_Dasda> anyone have good experience with word processors? I really dont like OpenOffice grammar checker at all. I actually take my assignments from laptop (ubuntu) to desktop(xp+word). i end up finding and correcting so many errors in word. Anyone know of a really good grammar and spell checker for ubuntu? Its the most important thing for me because I need to do work for school [03:29] Jordan_U>> When I first log in, a pop up appears that says one of my harddrives may be failing [03:29] Do I need to uninstal qufw to use firestarter? [03:29] Fezzler: Then it likely is [03:30] Jordan_U>> Icon at top says it has "many bad sectors." [03:30] Jordan_U>> Don't think so [03:30] N3OInc: you should only use one particular firewall software, im not sure if having both will bother anything [03:30] Fezzler: Why don't you think so? [03:30] [03:30] _dasda: you can try using word through wine on your ubuntu laptop [03:31] Jordan_U>> I only have one HD in computer. Brand news [03:31] My lapto have as a load cycle count of 58444 [03:31] _Dasda: there are plugins for openoffice [03:31] yeah, I'm pretty sure that having multiple firewalls will break things in hilarious and unexpected ways [03:31] <_Dasda> sgtpwner: yea thats what i was thinking, Oh god, my life will never be free of ms [03:31] <_Dasda> banished: oh I never knew that [03:32] <_Dasda> banished: are they available at openoffice home website? [03:32] musikgoat: Thanks again mate. [03:32] _Dasda: i think maybe using google and some searching you could probably find a good native ubuntu app [03:32] i'm not sure if the ms office stuff will work through wine... its got some deep hooks into the windows OS [03:32] _Dasda: at least there is a comercial plugin by the german Duden verlag, but I think it's only availiable in german.. [03:32] <_Dasda> sgtpwner: i've thout about abiword, heard some good stuff about it [03:33] star office is another one to check out [03:33] i can't help you i am still relatively new to unix myself [03:33] Does ATI work as well as nVidia ? (although I guess this is an opinion? ) [03:33] sgtpwner: you shouldn't call this unix :) [03:33] Fezzler: You can check the smart data with another tool / OS but that information is coming dirctly from the hardware itself. I'd back up anything important [03:33] in terms of there being drivers avalable [03:33] Name141:nvidia is my preference [03:33] I'm trying to use evince to view the pdf at http://www.ugrad.vcu.edu/pdfs/090923-01_postbacc_app.pdf [03:33] Name141: the proprietary nvidia driver is still the best OpenGL driver avaliable for Linux [03:33] Name141, not even close -- avoid ATI [03:33] <_Dasda> msikgoat: thanks ill try that too [03:34] Individual installs of MSO2K7 will fly in Wine, but they need to be installed as instances and individually, and its a mess to cross-combine [03:34] Name141: nvidia is most peoples preference, definately avoid ati [03:34] <_Dasda> I would like to make my desktop ubuntu also but only Word is holding me back [03:34] But it says "Multiple files are bound together in this PDF Package." then it says that adobe recommends that I use their acrobat reader software to view the pdf [03:34] ...Or at least I read it [03:34] <_Dasda> cause i dont wanna fail my uni classes. lol :) [03:34] Well, I have a 300 watt power supply and the 4550 will work better than the 9400 GT it seems. [03:34] is there a way to play a game on a windows partition through ubuntu without problems? i read wine wouldn't work for that... [03:34] as in for games, HD playback [03:34] Does Ubuntu 9.10 Salt hashes by default? [03:34] Name141: if you are into gaming nvidia is the best choice although there are certain ati cards that are quite good [03:34] ska178: wine works for that [03:35] sgtpwner: I took a look at the 4550 seems to do better than the 9400 GT. [03:35] _Dasda, I'm looking forward to college next year because I was hoping it would be less dependent on ms than in HS [03:35] banished: so I'd be able to get into World of Warcraft through ubuntu, using wine without any problems? [03:35] sgtpwner: although if I want to make the move to linux again, it appears I am going to have trouble? [03:35] When I run `sudo echo $PATH` my /home/user/bin folder shows up. However, when I run sudo I get the error "sudo: : command not found" Why is this? It is obviously in my $PATH so why would it not be found? [03:35] Name141: eh, hanging around here, I will tell you that if at all possible, avoid ATI [03:35] musikgoat: OK. [03:35] iName141: the 9000 series is not that great its basically a repacked version of 8000 series [03:36] <_Dasda> poseidon, there is aplugin i found for a dictionary to spellcheck. http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/en_US-dict but still grammar is missing [03:36] <_Dasda> u can give that a try too [03:36] ska178: WoW is platinum in wine, so i guess so [03:36] _Dasda: Even word's grammar checker is worthless IMHO, if you really need to ask another human to check your essays for grammar. [03:36] sgtpwner: I currently have a 8300 GS that uh.. peters out in Half-Life2: Episode 2 [03:36] banished: thank you for your help, i thought wine could just run windows programs using ubuntu..not with a windows mount [03:37] <_Dasda> honestly guys, there are alot of plugins for the problem i have [03:37] really? one of my comps is 2gig ddr1 6800gs and it runs hl2 at about max graphics 1900x1600 [03:37] <_Dasda> i gotta give them a try now [03:37] <_Dasda> thanks for letting me know openoffice has plugins [03:37] sgtpwner: HL2 is different [03:37] ska178: well, if your applications is on a ntfs partition you can mount it of cause - or install it using wine on your linux partition [03:38] sgtpwner: Loast coast is where I start noticing trouble [03:38] (after the new lighting) [03:38] anyone have any problems getting their webcam to work on 9.10 and fix it? [03:38] hmm [03:38] well maybe you should try turning resolution down a touch [03:38] Ryan9104: which webcam? [03:38] Hi guys. Since upgrading to 9.10 I've noticed that the audio in VLC playback is really choppy. Any ideas? [03:39] quickcam express [03:39] Gibbster:get more codecs [03:39] Ryan9104: what is lsusb writing? [03:39] sgtpwner: Oh yeah? even though it worked ok preupgrade? [03:39] everything is being detected [03:39] is there a graphical frontend for pppoeconf in 9.04?

[03:40] Name141: because ATI is closed source by nature [03:40] musikgoat: I thought the nVidia driver was too? [03:40] name141: edit the conf manually for the fancy toys.

[03:42] musikgoat: Dell claims it will provide too much power to the motherboard if I was to upgrade and void my warranty. Then they go on saying I can run a 9500GT rated at a 350watt min power supply that wouldn't void the warranty. [03:42] how do you find out if your running 32 bit ubuntu or 64 bit?

[05:25] bazhang: yeh, a lot are, but as previously stated this problem never occured on my iMac, on the same network... and in fact whilst downloading on torrentflux, my transmission on iMac reaches speeds of 800kb [05:25] yes [05:25] flexible, I would suggest if not then it is a upnp issue [05:26] flexible: you never said how fast it is, that's what I was asking about, mr. ridiculous [05:26] flexible, what is the total available, if iMac is using 800k [05:26] Tartaros, no need for that [05:26] hahahaha okay tartaros [05:26] uhm, generally i max out on http downloading at around 1.3mb/s [05:26] bazhang: need for what? [05:26] Tartaros, no name-calling. please stop. [05:27] can't stop what i didn't start [05:27] flexible, then I would look to upnp port forwarding [05:27] on which end, my router or on torrentflux? [05:28] jbo [05:28] flexible, never used torrentflux, have you checked in settings/preferences? my router automatically does it as I have it setup that way [05:29] yeh i have it set up, just checked [05:29] flexible, that is where I would be looking [05:29] so the problem lies in torrentflux? [05:29] flexible: upnp needs to be supported by both router & software === Richard is now known as Guest19212 [05:29] flexible, not sure will check their documentation [05:29] flexible: an alternative is to manually forward some ports on the router, and set torrenflux to use those [05:30] Mike, i also did that [05:31] http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/1124310.html flexible this may help [05:32] hola [05:32] !es | hernan_ [05:32] hernan_: 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. [05:32] hi [05:33] looked at that, didn't find much help... is there a better alternative that has a web interface [05:33] flexible: deluge is pretty good [05:33] think vuze has one as well [05:33] is it in the repositories? [05:33] flexible, better alternative with webui? deluge for one [05:33] flexible, yep [05:33] apt-get install deluge? [05:34] yup and deluge-webui [05:34] flexible: i use Deluge, but the default torrent client Transmission has a web ui. [05:34] how long is it going to take for a new kernel witht he new gcc 4.4.2 ? 4.4.1 gcc has problems [05:35] oh, transmission has one? [05:35] well i might as well try that, as it works flawlessly on my mac === computer is now known as O234876 [05:36] is there a commandline tool that i can use that will display the current running processes [05:36] ps? [05:36] flexible: top, htop, mtop [05:36] htop is nice. [05:36] flexible, why not just get rtorrent :) [05:37] what is rtorrent? [05:38] flexible: CLI client based on ncurses [05:38] flexible: or transmission [05:38] bazhang: why that over transmission [05:38] flexible: Transmission is installed by default. [05:38] flexible: (on desktop systems) [05:38] flexible, just a suggestion as you were talking about command line [05:38] flexible: Minimal. Small footprint. Terminal (not GUI). [05:39] does remote desktop come with xubuntu? all i see is remote desktop viwer [05:41] Greetings from America! [05:41] hello need help with saa7130 tuner [05:41] yep, just started a torrent on transmission, and it is getting 350kbps... [05:41] thanks guys [05:41] flexible, you're welcome [05:41] whats the name of the package [05:41] In what directory would I find programming programs (That are already installed) ? [05:42] ubuntu restricted extras?? [05:42] Hows um everyone? [05:43] b0w: http://tinyurl.com/yhrrao2 [05:44] thanks [05:44] Hi i have a question. I need to install bunches of web services on ubuntu desktop. Instead of install 1 by 1 (ftp,lamp etc.) can I just insert the ubuntu server cd and use repositories? [05:45] kbp: What do you mean? Regardless of Gnome, KDE, XFCE, Server-related, etc, etc... everything are on Ubuntu repo. Also, Server-edition does not have any GUI. [05:45] kbp: do it from terminal .. sudo tasksel .. and it will give you a menu to choose from .. check off what you want and go.. [05:46] join ubuntu-offtopic [05:46] sorry, dang commands [05:46] Hi [05:46] hows it going [05:46] grr, I guess I need to file a bug about needing a super-P hotkey. [05:47] you can set your own hotkeys [05:47] I mean, my laptop no longer gives the XF86Video key on fn-f4... it gives super-P. [05:47] Is there anyone here that uses Amarok in GNOME? [05:47] Or "Mod4+P", as gnome says. [05:47] xmodmap [05:48] * DanaG tries making Linux not claim to be Windows 7. [05:48] no, but vlc is a lot easier [05:48] leaf-sheep, scunizi : thank you... actually I tried to do it offline because the repositories is too slow. My internet speed is like 1MBs but the server speed is just 8KBs. [05:48] flan_suse: yes I do [05:48] I recently switched from ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 and now I have sound issues I hope I dont have to downgrade back to 9.04 to fix that [05:49] Blue1, question: Does Amarok on your GNOME environment play audio CDs? (And what backend do you use? Xine or GStreamer?) [05:49] DOes anyone have experience checking out through SVN [05:49] flan_suse: not tried audio cd - and I use gstreamer [05:50] kbp: try another repository server. you should be able to find one that is faster than 8KBps [05:50] hi all, need help. how do I make FM work on encore ENLTV-FM. [05:50] Tartaros: which one do you recommend? [05:50] megamanx1978: try formulating a question, and include more info than "sound issues" :) [05:50] Blue1, if you have an audio CD, try it out some time. [05:51] kbp: probably "main" :) [05:51] flan_suse: burning a cd now -- [05:51] kbp: you might be able to do it from the server cd.. just enable the cd option in the repository section and disable the internet based ones.. worth a shot. [05:51] Jevon: what are you checking out? [05:51] kbp: and also ofc. one that seems closest to ou. if neither is fast, just try some random ones :) [05:52] image files and folders from a website [05:52] Hi all...

[05:56] scunizi: You tried..? [05:56] napster, install it and try [05:57] kannan, nope [05:57] nanotube: THanks for the tip. At least I got it that far, now I just need it to see the repo [05:57] napster: installing will pull in the necessary dependancies.. you could also look at LiVeS at www.getdeb.net [05:57] Jevon: :) [05:58] how can i mount a usb after unmounting it. ( i don't want to have a custom mount point it should automatically make on) [05:58] bazhang, it seems 4.3.0.4 released and in windows it already updated.. in karmic it's not updating.. do u kno any soluiton..? [05:58] om26er: click on it in nautilus? [05:58] !ssh [05:58] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage.

See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [05:58] Tartaros, i wan't a terminal way [05:59] om26er: mount [05:59] well I'm a clicky person :) [05:59] kannan, ubuntu is not a rolling release distro; the newest dont enter the repos immediately upon their release. you could compile or search for a PPA I suppose not sure why you would need the higher number though [05:59] the drive name is something like /dev/sda1 [05:59] Nightlonewolf, but i also have to give a mount point? [06:00] mount [06:00] if my memory serves correct, if not, mount --help always works [06:01] om26er: see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB#Manually%20Mounting in particular look at 'pmount' [06:01] chromeos or android in virtual box? [06:01] How do I figure out my desktop's IP so that I can connect to it remotely through SSH? [06:01] I have openssh installed [06:01] om26er: 9.04 or 9.1? [06:01] bazhang , i didn't install it from repos.. and i have 4.3.0.0. it seems it has some bugs.. so ,want a higher number ;) [06:02] seidos, ask in #vbox [06:02] or, om26er you could edit /etc/fstab (BACK IT UP if you edit it) set a custom directory to it, then use mount [06:02] bazhang: thank you [06:02] kannan, good luck then [06:02] Dantonic: By typing "ifconfig eth0" in your Desktop. Alternative, find out the IP addresses via router website. [06:04] leaf-sheep, ah, so I'll probably need a router address I'm guessing. What if my ISP provides me with a dynamic ip, is there a way to configure it so I can always ssh through to my dekstop? [06:04] Nightlonewolf, after unmounting is there a way to mount it again without giving it a mount point (or system should think its plugged in again) [06:04] om26er: see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB#Manually%20Mounting in particular look at 'pmount' [06:04] om26er: you could create a directory in /media with sudo mkdir /media/sda1 and then mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 === josch__ is now known as Joschi [06:04] Dantonic: quik and dirty way google "whats my ip" [06:05] well, if you want to do it the quick and dirty way, unplug it, and plug it back in; thats what i do for my usb [06:05] Dantonic: If you're using router, you'll have to forward port 22 to your desktop. Also, you could use no-ip or dynsdns. Those are free services. [06:05] Nightlonewolf: that's my favorite method, as well. :P [06:05] leaf-sheep, thank you I'll look into that [06:05] Dantonic: Basically, you'd be doing "ssh Dantonic.no-ip.org" ;o [06:05] scunizi, nanotube i don't want to mount by giving it a mount point. it should be like i plugged it again without getting the usb out [06:06] om26er_: what ubuntu version are you using? [06:07] om26er_: as i said before: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB#Using%20pmount which explicitly states that you can leave off the mountpoint option, and it will mount in /media/devicename [06:07] nanotube; i think it works the best, :P [06:07] om26er: if it is in fstab then just run mount /dev/device [06:07] nanotube, yes it hink pmount is what i wan't [06:08] om26er_: give it a try ;) [06:08] is there a way to install ubuntu to another partition while booted into a pre-existing installation? [06:08] Nightlonewolf: only when you are within physical reach of the machine in question ;) [06:09] om26er_: if you're using 9.10 then what you want is "devkit-disks --mount" [06:09] nanotube, great that worked thanx [06:09] well, if my hands aren't i have other methods of getting the usb out and in again [06:09] pynotify and notify-send fail for me on 64-bit karmic. This is an upgrade from jaunty. Anyone know any fixes? I get libnotify-Message: GetServerInformation call failed: Too few arguments in reply libnotify-Message: Error getting spec version [06:09] Nightlonewolf: heh. [06:09] om26er_: excellent :) [06:10] * Nightlonewolf points at slave and yells at her to put the usb out and in again [06:10] Tartaros: yet another fancy new tool, eh? [06:10] :P [06:10] So, after just about any amount of access, one of my drives is resetting itself. Is it the drive or the controller? [06:10] hello [06:11] Hello burningatrocity [06:11] got a question to start [06:11] how do I register my name? [06:11] can't remember, been too long since I've used linux [06:11] nanotube: dunno about that. All I know is that ubuntu has moved from hal to DeviceKit regarding mounting stuff [06:11] burningatrocity: you mean, register on this irc network? [06:11] burningatrocity: ./chanserv help [06:11] Tartaros: ah, yea i remember hearing something about it... [06:12] Tartaros: is devkit any better than hal? [06:12] how should I know :) I'm just a puny user [06:12] Why does it take so long to boot Karmic when you don't get a DHCP reply? [06:12] Tartaros: haha ic [06:13] ok, well, my body is slowly shutting down (considered i just forgot to put a main() function in my program) so, i'm out for the night have fun you ppl! [06:13] virtuald: probably because it has some kind of long timeout on failure to get an ip... [06:13] Nightlonewolf: sweet dreams ;) [06:13] night lonewolf [06:13] burningatrocity: ./nickserv help, my mistake [06:13] ok thanks [06:13] you too nanotube :P [06:13] MK13: You can use debootstrap but it's not easy ( and there may be a better way ) [06:14] Nightlonewolf: tx i'm about to hit the sack myself [06:14] Jordan_U, i think i found what i was looking for here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux thanks for that suggestion though [06:14] hi does anyone know why when i print proggy fonts they look fine at 16pt, but they look terrible when displayed in ubuntu? [06:15] Should I even be asking in this channel? I think my hard drive is dying, that or my whole box: http://pastebin.com/m6f1b5e77 [06:15] those are the results of 'grep ata3 /var/log/kern.log' [06:16] nanotube: Yeah but what could wait/hang like that? [06:16] SanityInAnarchy: try running some smart disk diagnostics tools? [06:17] virtuald: dunno - whatever it is that's expecting an ip address ;) [06:17] Also my consoles are gone [06:17] nanotube: I do run them. Found no errors in the error log. Both short and long selftest as recently as a few days ago found no errors. [06:17] Which make recovery mode unusable [06:18] is there any indonesian ubuntu user [06:18] is there any indonesian ubuntu user [06:19] SanityInAnarchy: hrm, well, try asking in ##linux or ##hardware, maybe... [06:19] kermit_, others are also gonna help u [06:19] kermit_: There is an indonesian channel, #ubuntu-id === om26er_ is now known as om26er [06:22] mom: Are you using the pcf version of the fonts? [06:22] Jordan_U, nope, im using the ttf [06:22] Jordan_U, i copied to my .fonts directory [06:23] What's strange is I flashed my BIOS and now I get a new MAC on every cold boot. My isp's shitty system won't give me an internal ip as it should so I can't register my MAC from this computer. [06:24] mom: Try the .pcf versions since they are bitmap fonts and ttf is vector based [06:25] virtuald: You can set your mac address in System > Preferences > Networking [06:25] Jordan_U, just copy to my .fonts directory? [06:25] mom: Yes [06:25] !fonts | mom [06:25] mom: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [06:25] Jordan_U, i will need to delete the ttf files? [06:26] And when i tried to set my MAC in /etc/interfaces nothing worked [06:26] mom: I don't know [06:26] nanotube: Yeah, smart is going to be useless. The kernel is automatically resetting the drive, frequently, which resets the SMART test. [06:26] virtuald: Use System > Preferences > Networking [06:26] !test [06:26] yes, I'm alive. [06:27] I can't use network manager, it's crippled compared to ifupdown [06:27] virtuald: How so? [06:27] sleep ;-{ [06:28] It doesn't do bridges or 6to4 and I need that for virtual machines [06:28] SanityInAnarchy: hrm... well i guess you have to figure this out by elimination. try (a) booting from a livecd of a known-working distro, to rule out any software problems (b) take out the disk try it on a different computer, to rule out motherboard problems or confirm disk hardware problems ... you know, the usual :) [06:29] I have a problem install GTK themes. I can install them, apply them, and they're in .themes, but I can't display them in the themes viewer [06:29] nanotube: I think b is about my only option, and I can't do that tonight. Only different computer available is this laptop. [06:29] they always show up as "Custom" [06:29] is there any way to fix this? [06:30] If anyone else had stuttering videos online with Karmic, then compile the new kernel (2.6.31-15-generic). It fixed my videos. [06:30] mcurran, why compile why not use proposed [06:30] SanityInAnarchy: can't try a livecd? that's a 'simpler' step... [06:30] hey guys, anyone know how to fix this network card problem im having? https://gist.github.com/e715643b00790b1ea7d4 [06:30] I'm just suggesting what I know worked. [06:30] mcurran: compile as opposed to just using the precompiled one from package? [06:31] mcurran, for furue use. http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [06:31] nanotube: That's not "simpler" -- it's a server. A personal one, but I'd still like to minimize downtime. [06:31] SanityInAnarchy: ah... [06:31] At least the other two drives seem ok... seem... for a moment there, the BIOS couldn't find _any_ drives. [06:31] mcurran, you can get any kernel from here. [06:32] Thanks [06:32] Wow. And now it's absolutely fine. [06:32] Is truecrypt a good option to encrypt all my entire disk if I'm using Ubuntu? [06:32] SanityInAnarchy: heh weird... [06:32] Or may I have some trouble? [06:33] nanotube: Is there any reason I shouldn't do smart tests? [06:33] Jordan_U, i copied the font.pcf.gz to my .font directory and it isnt detected [06:33] mom: Try uncompressing it first [06:33] SanityInAnarchy: well they do stress the disk somewhat... but generally, no.... [06:34] .... [06:34] yeah, selftest is all fine. [06:34] Irakirashia: there is a whole-disk encryption option built into the alternate install cd [06:34] hi, what file that holds the network port numbers and its description [06:35] bases on what MikeChelen [06:35] based* [06:35] Irakirashia: it uses dmcrypt and luks [06:35] Irakirashia: there is also an option for home directory encryption, which uses ecryptfs [06:35] I have a Kodak ESP 5 printer connected to a Windows machine, I'd like to use it on the Ubuntu machine. I can set it up as a network printer, up to the point of installing drivers (there aren't any). I was just wondering if there is any way I can add this printer using some kind of generic driver, or perhaps setup a virtual printer on Windows that will be compatible with Linux, and have that redirect print jobs to the real printer? [06:35] Jordan_U, is the command ungz filename.gz? [06:35] Irakirashia: it's possible to use one or the other, or both [06:36] That are options that come with this iso -> xubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso ? [06:36] MikeChelen ^ [06:36] oliver3: you can always redirect print to a file... [06:36] mom: gunzip filename.gz [06:37] Irakirashia: only home directory encryption is available on standard install cd, need the alternate for whole-disk [06:37] So would the latest repo kernel be 2.6.31.1.5 or 2.6.31.15 compared to others [06:37] Blue1, I was considering that. Perhaps print it to a file in some kind of shared directory, and run a script on the Windows machine that periodically looks for files in the dir and prints/deletes them. Seems a bit of a nasty way of doing it though, and opens up security issues... === VanDyke_ is now known as VanDyke [06:38] wa haha [06:38] oliver3: why ru using a windows machine to print? === tt is now known as Guest11312 [06:38] oliver3: Sharing the printer from windows should work [06:38] Blue1, because that's the machine with the printer connected. [06:38] shit ha [06:38] Thanks MikeChelen. And It does not matter if I have another partition with another OS? [06:38] Jordan_U, it doesn't, no Linux drivers. [06:38] Jordan_U, still not showing up in abiword [06:38] oliver3: is it a network printer? [06:38] Blue1, yes [06:39] Blue1, as in: Printer -> USB -> PC -> Network [06:39] Irakirashia: it is probably okay, just be careful when setting up the disks, not to delete any other partitions [06:39] oliver3: you should be able to print to a network printer for linux -- although I don't remember the setup for it. [06:39] Blue1, the setup requires a driver for the printer. [06:39] oliver3: yes so that it's formatted correctly -- what's the issue? [06:40] MikeChelen the encryptation can be done after the installation? Or it has to be done before it. (these questions are for a friend) [06:40] Blue1, there is no Linux driver for the printer. [06:40] mom, try 'fc-cache -f' [06:40] is there a way to forward incoming traffic to port 25 to another port [06:40] mom: As a side note the forum for proggy fonts looks wonderfully maintained [06:41] So is the latest stable kernel from kernel.org (2.6.31.6) newer than 2.6.31-15-generic or what? [06:42] oliver3: ahh that's too bad - what kinda printer? [06:42] Blue1, Kodak ESP 5 AiO [06:42] mcurran, yes [06:42] mcurran, 2.6.31-15 is 2.6.31.1 [06:43] Irakirashia: whole disk has to be done before installation, at least to use the guided setup. there might be some other way that i don't know [06:43] O.K. thanks 0m26er [06:44] Jordan_U, mmm no nothing [06:44] mcurran: Many patches from 31.6 are included though [06:44] Is it safe to compile the plain kernel from kernel.org or do we need to stick with ubuntu ones? [06:44] !netsplit [06:44] 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 [06:44] !netsplit [06:44] Netsplit : irc.freenode.net go BOOOOOOOOOOOM from card.freenode.net 3504 BOOOOOMers in all the splits i have seen. [06:44] Jordan_U, yes it looks like most of the topics are about porn in the proggy font forum [06:44] one bot commanding the other, fun [06:45] Okay MikeChelen, thank you very much :3 [06:45] netsplit.. yay! [06:46] mcurran: Yes, there is also a "ppa" with pre-built mainline kernels ( no Ubuntu patches ) http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [06:46] Irakirashia: whole disk encryption is pretty reliable, and it seems quite fast, at least compared with home directory encryption (i still use both for security though) [06:46] hello [06:47] hey i know this is kinda dumb but how would i know if my wireless card is working [06:47] when i type ifconfig it shows up [06:47] is that enough [06:48] Hello. I'm having problems connecting to the internet in ubuntu wirelessly and wired. I have a Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN for wireless, and a Realtek RTL9139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC for wired. My proirity is wireless, and I'm in WinXp right now on a different partition in order to get into this chat. Everything said will be written down in a notepad, then tried on Ubuntu. Thanks. [06:48] dodobrown_, that usually is a good indicator it is working, yes [06:48] Hi [06:48] Okey MikeChelen, I'll have that on mind [06:48] cool thanks [06:48] How to i stop GDM? [06:48] so i don't need to download any drivers or such [06:48] Oh, ubuntu 9.10 btw [06:48] mom: This looks promising: http://levelsofdetail.kendeeter.com/2007/02/using_proggy_fonts_in_ubuntu_g_1.html [06:48] !hi | Alinn [06:48] Alinn: 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! [06:49] dodobrown_, well, hopefully not - try it out first [06:49] k thanks man [06:49] Anyone? [06:49] BeWop: System > Administration > Hardware drivers [06:49] It says no propritary drivers are in use [06:50] in the old distros, it provided a wireless proprietary driver. [06:50] BeWop: then it sounds like the Broadcom does not have a free driver, nor does it have injectable firmware. [06:50] is it possible to have the wallpaper in Ubuntu change automatically every so often? [06:50] BeWop: Do you know the exact chipset of the broadcom card? [06:50] hey i just upgraded to karmic and gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-volume-applet seem to be using a lot of ram, anyone else come across this? [06:51] I have video files in .avi format. Is there software in the ubuntu/open source world that will burn it to a dvd? [06:51] Jordan_U, yes i did that already, it keep the font at one size only [06:51] dman, rebooted? [06:51] sam_, devede [06:51] zetheroo: Yes, in fact Ubuntu comes with a set of space backrounds that cycle periodically [06:51] om26er: yeah, keeps happening [06:51] ok [06:51] thanks [06:51] dman, updating system might help [06:51] sudo apt-get install devede? [06:51] om26er: all current [06:51] mneptok: Jordan_U: It's intel 9000/9100 is the computers, other than that, I don't know. ANd it had a driver for it in 9.04, so I don't see why it wouldn't in this one. Wired internet isn't working either, so that could be a problem. [06:51] mneptok: My broadcom supports injection (b43 has for a while now) [06:51] sam_, correct [06:51] mom: They are only made to be used at one size [06:51] dman, system specs? [06:51] how can i voicechat in yahoo? [06:51] om26er: gnome-settings daemon and volume are using about 17.5% of 4gb of ram accoring to top [06:52] mcurran: did you have to do anything to get it working? [06:52] mcurran: yes, those do. many Broadcoms do not. [06:52] Twitter, gyachi [06:52] When i type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop output is : http://paste.ubuntu.com/325138/ [06:52] om26er: about 500mb each [06:52] zetheroo, i have grown to like the gWallpapers app. you can set photos and directories and tell it how often to cycle [06:52] dman, using 64-bit install? [06:52] om26er: core 2 duo, 4gb ram, 64bit karmic [06:52] from where can i load gyachi? [06:52] TheCheeze: oh ok... sounds perfect [06:52] om26er: yea [06:52] Twitter, sudo apt-get install gyachi [06:52] mneptok: again, it was supported in 9.04, so you know... [06:52] TheCheeze: where is it? [06:53] Jordan_U, so how would i do a presentation with a mono spaced programming font if it only goes up to 12pt? You cant see 12pt very well on a slide [06:53] yes - Usually it shows the proprietary driver you need in the Hardware Drivers app. - but you need to get b43-fwcutter and let it download and extract the firmware awlpast.o or something [06:53] zetheroo, and the best part is no tray icons taking up space if you dont want. just start the daemon, tell it to run on startup, and close it out [06:53] Twitter, no its not in apt-get [06:53] om26er, there is no package gyachi in karmic [06:53] Twitter, google it [06:53] mom: There are other programming fonts [06:53] !google | om26er [06:53] om26er: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [06:53] zetheroo, https://launchpad.net/gwallpapers [06:53] Jordan_U, but any monospaced font s not scalable? [06:53] mcurran: I don't have internet at all in ubuntu... but I bet I can play around with the wired and get it working. [06:54] i googled it but couldnt install:( [06:54] mcurran: because apparantly it's supported, it's just not connecting [06:54] mom: Why do you want a non scalable font that you can use at any size? [06:54] my graphic processor is 82945G Express, OS is ubuntu 9.10 x64, compiz freezes at startup:( [06:54] Jordan_U, im looking for a nice looking slashed 0 scalable monospaced font [06:54] You'll need to - Else you could try to run ndiswrapper but I don't think it's included by default, and I've never gotten it to work. [06:54] bazhang, there is a gyachi package for karmic... just not x64 [06:55] TheCheeze, what is the package name [06:55] !info gyachi [06:55] mcurran: Alright, thanks. I'll play around with it a bit. [06:55] Package gyachi does not exist in karmic [06:55] Jordan_U, are all monospaced fonts non-scalable? [06:55] mom: No [06:55] BeWop: You can check Hardware Drivers just to see if it recognizes the need for it - then you'll have to connect by wired and download [06:55] Twitter, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:loell/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gyachi [06:55] I can't stop GDM. When i type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop output is : http://paste.ubuntu.com/325138/ [06:55] bazhang, https://launchpad.net/~loell/+archive/ppa [06:55] TheCheeze, thanks [06:56] mom: Does 0 with a dot in the center work? [06:56] mom: TrueType and OpenType are scalable, regardless of spacing [06:56] I don't know if ssd works but it's included for broadcom chips [06:56] mneptok, proggy font had a ttf font but it didnt sacle at 16pt [06:56] Jordan_U, no i want a slash, i dont like the dot [06:57] stop gdm by killallgdm [06:57] I mean "sudo killall gdm" [06:57] Jordan_U, looks like a dead pixel or something with the dot [06:57] mcurran: How to i restart it? [06:57] mom: if you read the Proggy Fonts website you will see that none of their TTFs are provided for more than a single size. [06:57] Hi, anyone able to report battery life on a toshiba nb205 under ubuntu? [06:58] test [06:58] Alinn: Restart what? you can killall gdm and then maybe gdm - restartx?

[07:02] pranav: use gparted or fdisk /dev/sdb1 [07:03] linuxguy: did you try to mount /dev/cdrom0 or /media/cdrom0 [07:04] pranav: You don't ever want to format a mounted partition, unmount it first [07:04] mine is called /dev/sr0 [07:04] or /media/cdrom0 [07:04] mcurran: Ah yes thank you that worked.

[07:06] how would i know if i have dapper [07:06] or the kola [07:06] mcurran: Yeah I have the panel mount applet on my panel and my CDs all show up there automatically except this one multisession CD after the last burn.Strange.

Iperf results of 95mbps and dd results of 1.775 secs for 736mb file.. Help is appreciated. [07:10] TheMoebius, that was a fresh install or an upgrade, do you have grub or grub2 [07:10] bazhang: but the how-to said not to use the 9.10 live cd because it uses ext4 so I used the 8.04 to reinstall grub [07:11] hi, what file ubuntu filesystem that holds the network port numbers and its description? [07:11] bazhang: was a fresh 9.10 install, but 8.04 probably overwrote it? [07:11] TheMoebius, you went back to legacy-grub ? [07:11] anyone there to help me?? [07:11] How do you manually compile the kernel source if it's not ubuntu - I tried this "sudo CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=1 AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-debs" but it says there's no such file or directory for debian/rules - I don't see a linux-core folder where i usually run this command either... [07:11] Twitter, someone did help you; did you not try the gyachi suggested above? [07:11] bazhang: not by choice - just following the instructions in the how-to, which said not to use the 9.10 boot cd to restore grub [07:12] TheMoebius, ah I see, wish you had read the grub2 wiki before doing that [07:12] bazhang: i tried but not succeed:( [07:12] !grub2 [07:12] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic.

[07:25] gparted [07:25] Trustisaweakness: A reboot shouldn't be necessary - I would try restarting gdm first. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [07:25] Kenisha: Did you try just running "sudo update-grub" to have XP added automatically? [07:26] Jordan_U, kenisha repeated my question, dunno why. and yes I did run that [07:26] Jordan_U, its ghem not kenisha (spambot Klined) [07:26] ghem: There's a command to locate grub but I don't remember what it is - google maybe [07:26] Hello === _kingnerd is now known as kingnerd [07:27] hey is there some where with a list for repositories ?

[07:28] So you probably have grub in the boot sector and still have the windows partition set active [07:28] hello anyone there? [07:28] hello anyone there? [07:28] use gparted and set the linux partition with the boot flag and then update grub or add an entry for xp [07:29] dodobrown_: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors [07:29] Jordan_U, 40_os-prober? im using grub2 if I didnt mention btw [07:29] is it possible to remote connect to simply the terminal in ubuntu?

[07:31] when do you get the message for ntldr missing, do you select xp from grub menu?

[07:59] akjeff, any reason not to go for a real dual boot install [07:59] Someone? Anyone? Wifi help? [08:00] ThatGuyOverThere, what is the exact issue. Please give a lot of details [08:00] how to change the nautilus default application for .pdfs ? [08:00] whats the difference ... downloading the install ISO an making the disk? [08:00] hi I'm trying to figure out how to setup a vnc server so that I can access my desktop remotely through the internet. Can I do this with Vino? [08:00] I'm not sure if my computer is recognizing the wireless card, for starters. [08:00] But I don't know exactly what the problem is. [08:00] akjeff, well its faster, not a file inside of windows, amongst others [08:01] Dantonic, I think so, but you will need to forward ports on your router, and set up a DDNS on your PC. you could also try tightvnc, but that uses an Xserver other than 0 [08:01] akjeff, you can also just point the iso to a usb stick and run it from there [08:01] akjeff, using unetbootin [08:01] Jordan_U, do you have any ideas, or should I try to figure out how I can boot using an xp usb or somwthing? [08:01] knoppies, thanks, what ports do I need to forward? I have ssh configured, so I have port 22 forwarded for that... [08:01] I will download the ISO file and try it from there and see if that fix's it [08:02] Is there anyway I can figure out better what the problem is? [08:02] ThatGuyOverThere, what is this a usb wifi or pci [08:02] It's PCI. [08:02] Dantonic, I think you can choose what ports it uses, have a look in the vino setup. Just remember when logging in with your IP/domain name, to include the port. [08:02] lspci in terminal --> paste.ubuntu.com ThatGuyOverThere [08:03] A'ight. Be right back.

[08:06] bradpitt, please give details and not a youtube video [08:06] sinthetek, yea, you should get almost 30mb/s on it. [08:06] sinthetek, is it on a USB adapter? I know that can slow it down a little, but you should still get 10mB/s on it. [08:06] !gpart [08:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about gpart [08:06] lspci did nothing. [08:07] I feel like that's a bad sign. === root is now known as Guest43172 [08:07] ThatGuyOverThere, nothing was shown as the output of lspci ? === napster is now known as Guest33423 [08:07] would anyone be intersted in helping me establish a wireless connection through terminal? [08:07] Correct. [08:07] knoppies, I have no options really inthe vino setup. It tells me the desktop is only reachable over the local network, and I have no option to change that or select ports... [08:08] ThatGuyOverThere, that seems unlikely to say the least === Guest43172 is now known as gfadda [08:08] L = lspci [08:08] Dantonic, then I dont know. You should be able to find the default port on the internet somewhere. I would also look for a tutorial on setting it up. [08:09] Hrm. Was it supposed to load a file in nano or gedit or something? Or was it supposed to display something in the terminal? Because it just gave me another prompt as soon as I hit enter. [08:09] gpart is a risky disk partition table recovery tool; anyone experienced with it, or have specific cause to distrust? [08:09] knoppies, thanks I've been reading the tutorial, and I cant really make heads or tails of it, it lists options that are not available to me. Thanks anyway. [08:09] bazhang : everytime i reboot my computer ubuntu won't load, sometimes i see grub sometimes i don't. and instead of usplash it always ends with _ blinking. the video show more details [08:09] helo wanted to install via driver (cn700) for the 28-16.21 kernel but failed [08:10] What do you mean by L = lspci? Are you saying the first character is a lowercase "L"? That's what I entered. [08:10] knoppies no usb adapter. how can i more accurately test/verify drive speed? [08:11] i am currently testing by sending large files over the network and looking at the xfer rate :P [08:11] ThatGuyOverThere, into the terminal and there was null output ? your system has zero pci devices? [08:11] bradpitt you know I have the same problem lol, the only way for me to get in is to go recovery and startx [08:11] i forgot to consider fs differences though [08:11] I guess so. [08:11] ThatGuyOverThere, try lsusb [08:11] sinthetek, Im not sure. I know one of the things that affect the drive speed is the (I forgot what its called, sorry Im tired) selection when you originally format the drive. [08:11] What was the exact command supposed to be? I typed in sudo lspci. [08:11] Anyone be able to help with dhclient no working leases in persistent database for wireless network? [08:12] but basically sending to karmic system with sata goes at about half the speed as sending in the other direction [08:12] gfadda : did you see the video? and how do you fix it? [08:12] I am 100% it's not a USB device. I have only two USB ports and the only one with anything in it connects to my keyboard and mouse. [08:12] sinthetek, Im not sure what else would make it particularly slow. If its a windows formated drive (NTFS) then it might be that the drive needs defraging. [08:12] bradpitt, I didnt fix it, i just startx after booting through recovery mode in Grub [08:12] ThatGuyOverThere, well you may have typo'd then : lspci [08:12] hi everybody! 2 simple questions for you: 1) how do i set the "windows" key to open Applications menu? 2) how do i set the key combo "windows" + m to show desktop? thanks!!! :) [08:13] sinthetek, If the drive is NTFS, then Im not sure how fast the ubuntu ntfs is. [08:13] It's LSPCI, in lowercase, right? [08:13] Correct [08:13] gfadda : and do you have to startx everytime you rebooting? or just once? [08:14] I'll go check... but I'm certain that's what I typed... be right back. [08:14] Il__Matteo, if you have compiz setup, then you can use that to set up the combo 'windows' (aka SUPER) + m to show desktop. As for the SUPER key opening up applications, not sure. You can install gnome-do or use the -F2 [08:14] bradpitt, everytime.... also I was getting errors loading synaptics for my touchpad but the system did a disk check after booting from the primary drive 30 times and seemed to fix that stuff [08:15] knoppies nope, no nfs. ext4 (the system that is writing faster is ext3). have wdc sata hd's in both systems. slower one is via vt6420, faster one is sis182 [08:15] ntfs* [08:15] thanks knoppies [08:15] sinthetek, not sure then. sorry. [08:15] Il__Matteo, glad I could help. [08:16] Yeah, I entered lspci... Nothing. [08:16] Just for kicks I tried lsusb too... That did give me an output, but no wireless card. [08:16] hdparm -I doesn't seem to list write speeds or anything like that [08:16] for either of the drives === sam_ is now known as smwn [08:17] ThatGuyOverThere, well absent any such info there is no way possible to check/troubleshoot your devices sans a look in the users manual [08:17] ahh, here we go. karmic's cache/buffer size is smaller [08:17] gfadda : that was annoying. we really need to find the answer for this problem. [08:17] half the buffer, half the xfer speeds [08:18] Well, I know the PCI card must be THERE because I can see wireless networks... just can't connect. === aperson is now known as APERSON [08:18] anyone know if that can be adjusted? her drive is bigger so i'd think it's at least slightly newer and should ahve the same capabilities (unless the driver is crappier for via and that buffer/cache size is specified in the driver or something) [08:18] bradpitt, I think 9.1 is experiencing all kinds of boot issues although I have not tried a fresh install myself [08:19] * sinthetek modinfo's via_sata [08:19] ThatGuyOverThere, what does ifconfig show [08:19] err...sata_via* [08:19] I'll let you know. [08:19] I dual boot Windows and ubuntu....Ubuntu is reporting 'many bad sectors' on my hard drive but i did a chkdsk under windows and it says 0, do i have bad sectors or is ubuntu seeing something else? [08:20] gfadda : i think so :) in my experience.. hardy, intrepid and jaunty never had those problem. [08:21] ... looking for people with some disaster recovery experience in a grub multi-boot setting, where an extended disk partition's chain of logical drives is corrupted [08:21] smwn, the bad sectors would be on your ubuntu partition, the windows chkdsk would have only checked the windows partition. [08:21] oh [08:21] how can i make sure my graphic is installed properly? [08:21] are they fixable? [08:22] Parsi: Which graphics card do you have? [08:22] soreau: intel 82945G Express [08:22] smwn, not sure. I would get as much of that data onto a safe HDD (there is a chance that if the data is corrupt it will copy it across corrupt) [08:22] looks like hdparm -t is for more accurate testing [08:22] knoppies, I found the "keyboard shortcuts" option in system >> preferences. The applications menu command is currently alt+f1, but i don't manage to turn it just to the SUPER key. the SUPER + m combo doesn't work, even if i associated it to the proper command (focus on desktop). other combos work (but they're not so easy to remember!), while SUPER + m just graphically inverts screen colors (black becomes white, white becomes b [08:22] lack, red becomes green....) [08:22] Parsi: What is the output of: glxinfo|grep renderer [08:22] smwn, or if you already have a backup, then keep that. And then reformat that partition. [08:22] is there a program that will test the drive? [08:23] Il__Matteo, do you know what compiz is? [08:23] soreau: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945G GEM 20090712 2009Q2 RC3 [08:23] like in terms of the physical damage [08:23] ehm... no. i'm a newbie. [08:23] smwn, not that I know of, keep asking, or have a google search. [08:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/325173/ [08:23] Parsi: That is a good indication they are working correctly. Are you having a problem? [08:23] There's ifconfig. [08:23] difference isn't as bad as over the network but still substantial [08:23] 43mb/s vs 55mb/s [08:24] soreau: before this, with compiz enabled it froze after logon [08:24] * sinthetek looks at ext3 vs ext4 write-speed benchmarks to see if it could account for the difference [08:24] ThatGuyOverThere, is the wifi encrypted or not [08:24] Parsi: compiz should work fine with that card. Which version of ubuntu? [08:24] soreau: i didn't tried installing compiz after this update [08:24] Il__Matteo, compiz is (in short) a window decorator, that makes your windows look AWSOME and adds animations to your windows. But it has some other good features as well, such as multiple desktops (not monitors) and many features [08:24] soreau: 9.10 [08:25] You mean the network? WEP encryption. [08:25] However, it doesn't connect to unencrypted networks either. [08:25] wep? is there any point? [08:25] Il__Matteo, go System -> administration -> synaptic package manager. Then search for compiz settings, then install the package that sounds like compiz-advanced-settings manager [08:25] ok, thanks, i didn't know how to find it! :° [08:25] Parsi: Well if it does freeze X or the machine, it is an indication of some driver or X bug, most likely the driver [08:25] After doing a google search it looks like its a common problem with ubuntu 9.10, I think its false reporting. [08:26] C-S-B, I'm not the network administrator, so it's not really up to me. [08:26] soreau: let me try compiz [08:26] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1300590 [08:26] ThatGuyOverThere, fair enough, it just makes me shudder when I hear wep. [08:26] how can download ubuntu one [08:26] Well, I haven't had my identity stolen yet, so I'm not too worried. :) [08:26] knoppies, speaking of compiz eye candy, I understand that the ATI Catalyst Control Center for Linux is able to do multiple monitors with ATI display adapters; does it support not using the fglrx xorg driver? [08:26] Il__Matteo, once compiz settings manager is installed, you can find it under system -> preferences -> compiz settings [08:27] hmm yeah, ext4 should be doing better across the board [08:27] gotta be a driver problem/option it seems [08:27] adminewb: amdcccle is exclusively for fglrx [08:27] maybe a bios setting? [08:27] adminewb, I have no idea, Out of all my attempts to get multiple monitors working, I only got it working once, and even then it was rather primitive and out of proportion. [08:27] adminewb: For the open driver, you would use xrandr or Sys>Prefs>Display [08:27] soreau, thanks [08:28] You were saying, bazhang? Encryption? [08:28] does anybody can help me? everytime i reboot my computer ubuntu won't load, sometimes i see grub sometimes i don't. and instead of usplash it always ends with _ blinking. i upload 30 seconds video to give you more details http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF_QCCaIBPk. thanks :) [08:28] ThatGuyOverThere, yes? [08:28] WEP encryption. Is that what you wanted to know? [08:29] soreau, i tried the standard driver to setup multiple monitors, and it was fairly contorted to get less than optimal results [08:29] bradpitt: Is this a clean install or upgrade from an older version of ubuntu? [08:29] adminewb: Are your screens the same? [08:29] soreau : it's clean install. [08:30] bradpitt: Does it work ok with the live cd? [08:30] bradpitt, I have no idea what your problem is, but I would fix it by: Plugging that HDD into another machine as a slave disk, getting all the data out of your home folder, then doing a complete clean install on it. See if the problem persists. [08:30] soreau, no, the screens are different and the adapters are different but both ATI [08:30] WEP encryption. Is that what you wanted to know, bazhang? [08:30] adminewb: Multi-video cards? [08:30] It just occurred to me that you might not have been responding because I wasn't typing your username. [08:30] soreau, sort of: one's an IGP [08:31] adminewb: Ah, I dont think this type of setup is supported yet [08:31] soreau: perhaps, but i did get it working somewhat [08:31] knoppies, yeah, the SUPER + m combo now works!!! compiz was already installed but had a "negative colours" function already linked to SUPER + m combo, so that it had higher priority over user-set shortcuts [08:31] ThatGuyOverThere, correct, am a bit busy at the moment [08:32] I see. [08:32] adminewb: It is possible to get it working and the open radeon driver folks are working to improve the situation [08:32] soreau : i try with live cd several to make sure that there's no problem with my hardware. and live cd seems ok. [08:32] Il__Matteo, yea, I thought that was the case. [08:32] bradpitt: That is strange.. [08:32] hi, what file in ubuntu filesystem that holds the network port numbers and its description? [08:32] Il__Matteo, play around with compiz, it is truly amazing. For some inspiration search up compiz on youtube. [08:33] thanks, but i like my ubuntu quite linear and clean, i don't like special fx ;) [08:33] bradpitt: If it works with the live cd, it should work the same after you install it to your machine if you performed the installation correctly [08:33] soreau: it freeze the machine:( [08:33] Il__Matteo, you look at gnome-do? its another awesome (and very sophisticated) application starter. [08:33] soreau: anyway, from the results I've seen it leaves the impression that a more regular configuration would have the same undesirable effects I noticed. [08:34] knoppies, let me have a try! :) [08:34] Parsi: You can ask in #intel-gfx, I am not sure what to tell you other than that it should work. Note if you do ask there you will need to remain patient [08:34] Il__Matteo, the gnome-do shotcut is you can install it using the synaptic package manager. Search in the preferences for plugins. [08:35] soreau: I asked them, someone said to use xorge-edger, i did, but no chance [08:35] Parsi: Can you run programs like glxgears and glxinfo? [08:35] soreau: yes [08:36] both [08:36] soreau : yes i was thinking the same. [08:36] Every few minutes, my laptop's HD power cycles. What is causing this? According to hdparm -I, APM is disabled ... [08:36] Parsi: If you use xorg-edgers, you will want to install all components and latest kernel [08:36] Parsi: Namely, libdrm, mesa and xorg-video-intel (or whatever ubuntu calls it) [08:37] soreau: i think i've them [08:37] someone experienced with the gpart partition hacking utility? not to be confused with gparted [08:37] Parsi: So this happens on default karmic install? [08:37] soreau: yes:( [08:37] knoppies, I installed the packages but combo seams to be dead :° [08:37] hi [08:38] soreau: glxinfo output [08:38] http://pastie.org/709716 [08:38] Parsi: In that case your best course of action would be to file a bug [08:38] My synaptic apt-get command gets a lot of errors lately and it seems to be related to access denied errors with mysql. Yes -- I did reset some passwords on my db recently. but what's going on here? === nexace_ is now known as nexace [08:38] knoppies, found it! :D [08:38] soreau: http://pastie.org/709716 [08:38] Parsi: It should work. [08:38] Il__Matteo, you have to start gnome-do first I think. -F2 then type in gnome do, then select the gnome do in the list. [08:38] Il__Matteo, ok. good. [08:38] sorry for my sloppiness! [08:39] Il__Matteo, no problem. [08:39] Parsi: But the intel drivers have gone through some major changes over the past months and the latest code should work too [08:40] Parsi: Does xvinfo work ok? [08:40] hi, how do I apply alternative gtk color scheme from outside gnome.. is there a standalone app available? [08:40] Alright, I'll worry about this later. I'ma go play Call of Duty. [08:40] soreau: http://pastie.org/709719 [08:41] soreau: how to obtain latest intel driver? [08:41] hi all [08:41] Parsi: On ubuntu, the xorg-edgers repo is your best bet to get all latest code, but it should be coupled with latest kernel as well [08:41] Parsi: Which kernel are you using?

[09:00] !tightvnc [09:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about tightvnc [09:00] Dantonic: What are you trying to do? [09:00] I've used tightvnc -- what do you need to do? [09:00] thank u [09:00] I'm very new to vnc.. vino seems to not work in 9.04 read several threads about it... just tryint to connect remotely [09:01] it's almost like my disks were mounted read-only - I can't write or do anything [09:01] so I did apt-get install tightvnc [09:01] then ran it [09:01] and setup password etc... [09:01] but on restart, everything is fine again [09:01] now how do I connect from another computer? is it all setup and ready to go? [09:01] until it happens again, that is [09:01] what do I use as server address [09:02] cause localhost@ip doesn't work [09:02] Dantonic: Look in Sys>Prefs>Remote Desktop and you will need to know the IP addresses of the box you are trying to connect to [09:02] Dantonic, if you connecting from the same PC, then its just localhost. [09:02] I'm sorry so I installed tightvncserver on my desktop... and I want to connect to it from another device using a vnc viewer [09:03] Dantonic, if you connecting from a different PC, then its just the IP address of the server. (If you have a windows PC on the network, Download and install netscan) [09:03] the viewer asks for the address [09:03] Dantonic: just use the IP address, or hostname , No '@' required [09:03] oh [09:03] ok [09:03] let me try [09:03] Dantonic, Ive never had any luck with hostnames, I just use the loca IP. [09:04] knoppies: You won't have any luck with hostnames, without a properly configured DNS server or /etc/hosts [09:04] ok ty I guess I'm just stuck on ssh :P I'm trying right now [09:04] fahadsadah, that explains it. [09:04] fahadsadah: Doesn't Ubuntu come with Avahi installed? [09:04] vnc is unlike ssh -- no user authentication, just a session password [09:04] Dantonic, I want to still set up shh. [09:04] Hullo, I have an old machine which runs Inkscape 0.47 and openoffice simulataneously on Ubuntu 9.10...The problem is that inkscape runs (/renders) very slow with default Ubuntu settings... [09:05] What stuff should I disable so that Inkscape runs faster? [09:05] fahadsadah: Which can do that mDNS resolving without a central DNS server. [09:05] This is a machine that is required to run only inkscape and Openoffice.... [09:05] I need no internet, music, video etc.............nothing [09:06] I'm currently running memtest, but I don't think that's the issue [09:06] grawity: Do all machines broadcast by default? [09:06] I was being told in ##linux that the problem is ubuntu's ext4 [09:06] fahadsadah: All machines with avahi-daemon respond to mDNS queries. (multicast, not broadcast) [09:07] grawity: Machines don't multicast to query [09:07] What daemons, services etc can I disable to speed up this machine? [09:07] Machines multicast their own domain name [09:07] hmm well no luck... [09:07] too bad vino doesnt work... [09:07] Is the host listening? [09:07] I mean it works fine locally just not over the internet [09:07] Mind you, I dont need GNOME too......replaced it with fluxbox [09:07] Is anybody in the position to tell me what might likely be going on with my cable internet service (somebody who might work for an ISP perhaps) ? [09:07] Make sure port 5900 is open [09:08] shut the fuck up fag!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [09:08] Shwack: Where's your problem? [09:08] Also, what ISP? [09:08] BobJonkman, how do I check if that port is open? is there acommand? I've forwarded it in my router [09:08] but idk if its done correctly [09:08] fahadsadah- Charter internet in san luis obispo, ca. I have 5Meg connection.. All the sudden web pages and all DNS takes about 10-15 seconds to resolve before loading - bandwidth tests now show me at 20Mbs after the 10-15 of waiting for DNS to resolve. === APERSON is now known as aperson [09:09] hi [09:09] Dantonic: Hmmm... I don't know your setup, so it's difficult to know if you're set up correctly. [09:09] Shwack: If DNS is the only problem, don't use their DNS servers. [09:09] Did you config the host yourself? [09:09] fahadsadah- it doesn't feel like 20Mgs, it feels very slow === Berzerker- is now known as Berzerker [09:09] well yes, I've forwarded port 5900 just like I did port 22 for ssh [09:09] Shwack: 4.2.2.2 with 4.2.2.3 as a backup [09:09] fahadsadah- I can change my DNS servers, but wasn't aware that i could use others [09:09] Always fast. [09:10] and assigned it to the local ip address of the desktop [09:10] fahadsadah- one second while I try === aperson is now known as APERSON [09:10] 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 (OpenDNS) are also fast, but they redirect addressbar searches to their own inferior search engine. [09:10] Dantonic: viewer inititates connection to host::5900 [09:10] fahadsadah: Which can at least be opted out. [09:11] fahadsadah, I have a firefox extension that takes care of that :) [09:11] (vnc uses weird syntax of hostname::port or hostname:displaynum [09:11] APERSON: Me too =p [09:11] grawity, last I checked, no you can't [09:11] grawity: My dad uses it for adult site filtering [09:11] So I don't have the password to disable search redirection [09:11] BobJonkman, wait so I am confused a bit how do I setup host::5900 not sure what that means [09:11] fahadsadah: Using Opendns ? [09:11] OMG fahadsadah you are the MAN!!!!! [09:12] fahadsadah- my internet is 5x faster than it has ever been [09:12] Shwack: Thanks. [09:12] Dantonic: The host listens on port 5900, usually display 0 [09:12] APERSON: Sign up on "OpenDNS Dashboard". Go to "Settings". Disable "Proxy" and "Filtering". [09:12] APERSON: I did it a lot of times. [09:12] Shwack: If you're four times faster than you're paying for, don't expect it to last. [09:12] So, by default you can tell the viewer to connect to just hostname [09:12] Dr_Willis: I made him. [09:12] grawity, I've been a using opendns for a couple of years, I'v never been able to disable it :/ [09:13] Because he was before using a spyware service installed on my box [09:13] I use the filtering, so no dice [09:13] To specifiy an alternate port use two colons hostname::port [09:13] BobJonkman, I'm sorry I suck at this... so hostname = ip? [09:13] or one colon for displaynum hostname:displaynum [09:13] fahadsadah: theres a firefox/grease monkey script that puts back the normal 'search' feature and gets around opendns stilling the default search stuff :) but thats how opendns makes their $$$ [09:13] so select ip:5900 when I enter the server? [09:13] Yes, hostname=IP [09:13] ok [09:13] let me try ty [09:13] No, use two colons, Ip::5900 [09:14] ok [09:14] so, any advice on migrating an ext4 partition to ext3? === b0w is now known as zz_b0w [09:15] W00 at successful install on my netbook!

[09:16] Do you need any help? [09:16] Haha. Thank you. [09:16] Dantonic: Hmm... the viewer and host are not on the same local net? [09:16] Wireless wasn't working outofbox but I got that working with the Dell Broadcom drivers [09:17] Everythings running pretty smooth [09:17] BobJonkman, I'm sorry I think we're misunderstanding each other... I apologize... I have no problem connecting locally... I have a problem connecting through the internet. That's what I'm trying to do connect remotely [09:17] Dantonic: So, my guess is that port 5900 is blocked somewhere between your viewer and the host [09:18] ok BobJonkman I'll look further into that [09:18] VNC over the internet should be used with a ssh tunnle. For security [09:18] the !vnc factoid has details [09:18] Dr_Willis: very true. And then you don't need to worry about port 5900, but ssh port 22 [09:19] i wouldent even want to try vncing with out ssh tunnle. I had a pc one day open to the internet. and there was like 1000+ hits on its vnc ports :) [09:19] that's why you don't use standard ports. [09:19] and ssh tunnels [09:19] and use things like fail2ban [09:20] and limit inbound connections to particular addresses, [09:20] using non standard ports is not really 'secureing' just hideing. :) ssh tunnle = the way to go. [09:20] I forget what the tool was i used to scan allmy logs and see these hits.. 'logwatch' perhaps?

[09:26] Dr_Willis: Sys>Prefs>Display uses xrandr [09:27] I MADE IT! [09:27] BobJonkman, not sure yet, just that it stops my burner from mounting any blank disk at all therefore stopping it from burning [09:28] I am installing kubuntu-desktop, for select kde or gnome when I login in ubuntu, but how can I use ubuntu's grub slpash? [09:28] Yup, known issue. use DeVeDe instead [09:28] BobJonkman, is there a bug report for it yet? [09:28] Just looking it up now [09:28] I like DeVeDe :) [09:28] BlouBlou: grub splash images are the ones you see when first starting your machine [09:29] soreau: there is no update for those packages:( [09:29] Parsi1: Well TBH I dont use xorg-edgers repo. If you have added this repo, make sure to apt-get update first before checking for new packages [09:30] mechdave: Brasero bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395922 [09:30] soreau: I did [09:30] Parsi1: You might be fortunate enough to find more help with it in !ubuntu+1 [09:30] BobJonkman, Excellent, thanks [09:30] Parsi1: ! = # [09:31] soreau: ubuntu+1? what is it? [09:31] mechdave: You're welcome! [09:32] Parsi1: A channel, /j #ubuntu+1 [09:32] * soreau -> bed [09:32] gnite [09:32] soreau: ok, tnx [09:32] BobJonkman, this is a different bug for 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 whereas I have a bug (I think it's a bug) for 2.28.2-0ubuntu1 [09:33] Heh. funny bug report on brassero - 'fixed my problem by using DeVeDe' :) thats more of a 'work around' :) [09:33] bbye and thanks everybody!!! [09:33] I dident even know Brasero could convert video to dvd format. [09:33] tika [09:33] nick/tika [09:33] Dr_Willis, it would be easier yes, but I am a stubborn person when it comes to this kind of thing... would like to have a go at fixing it first :/ [09:34] mechdave: yea. :) i just found it amuseing the bug reporter said he fixed it by using another app. ;) [09:34] Dr_Willis, Oh, I must have missed that one :) [09:34] I tend to use devede on a spare box to do my video->dvdiso reencodeing then just burn the iso on my other machines. [09:34] mechdave: If you're getting the error message "Please replace the disc with a supported cd or dvd" I suspect it's the same issue, even on a different Ubuntu version. [09:35] Could always file another report, and the triage team can decide if it's a duplicate... [09:35] Ive had such issues with brassero in the past ive not even troed it in 9.10 [09:35] BobJonkman, Nah it is no message at all, hang about and I shall get it to do it again [09:36] And even another report of the issue on the same bug would be useful [09:36] Is this a correct command for mounting via terminal? sudo mount -t vfat -o defaults /dev/sdc /media/stick [09:36] hi kenneth [09:37] I tried typing this in the terminal but I couldn't mount the usb stick. [09:37] mechdave: im seeing the same message here. but i dont even have a blank disk in the drive. :) i just want to make an .iso [09:37] here is the dmesg output --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/325208/ === noname_ is now known as WinXPNewb2 [09:38] Dr_Willis, BobJonkman There is no error coming from brasero, the thing just won't burn anything [09:38] I have som trouble with ubuntu on a asus computer, I have to set ls_switch to 0 every time I start the computer, is there anyway to have this to 0 permanently? [09:38] mechdave: at the top of the brassero window theres a message box built in. thats where i see the message [09:38] Hmm. Different bug then. I got a dialog box with the error message [09:39] hi, my wlan1 can detect alot of networks in Terminal, but there are no networks in network icon in the top of toolbar, any help? [09:39] The stick is in fat16. Not sure if that matters. It auto-mounted before. [09:39] BobJonkman: i dident even try to burn yet. :) its saying that with my disks empty - let me find a blank disk [09:40] network icon is still invisible [09:40] Dr_Willis: is this brasero issue only on Karmic? [09:40] becuase I don't see the problem [09:40] jaunty here [09:41] Hello, I am currently using ubuntu karmic koala, but am having trouble using my jawbone, I have paired it, but it does not show up as an audio input/output device in pavucontrol or the default sound controller, does anyone have any ideas? [09:41] ardchoille, As far as I can tell it is only on karmic with brasero-2.28.2-0ubuntu1 [09:41] mechdave: Ah, ok, thanks [09:41] is there another window manager except compiz? [09:41] hello? [09:42] Parsi1: Metacity comes with Ubuntu. [09:42] Parsi1: There are lots more (though some of them aren't easy to use) [09:42] grawity: is it window manager? [09:42] Hello Leoneof` [09:42] yes. [09:42] Parsi1: thers dozens of window managers out there. [09:42] Parsi1: compiz is the one that gives allthe fancy eye candy [09:43] Dr_Willis: I'm looking for a simple one [09:43] Parsi1: thers dozens of them install openbox perhaps [09:43] BobJonkman: my wlan1 can detect alot of networks in Terminal, but network icon is invisible in the top of toolbar [09:43] Pasifica: many of these WILL require you to read the docs to figure out totally [09:43] Dr_Willis: now installing openbox [09:44] Sorry Leoneof` I can't help with that. [09:44] ok, thanks ^_^ [09:44] BobJonkman, i'm beginner with Linux world ^_^ [09:44] Has anyone had any luck streaming audio to a bluetooth headset in karmic? [09:45] Hmm.. Brassero only lets me put 2, 45 min shows on a dvd. DeVeDe will let me fit more on.. at lower quality [09:45] Leoneof` We were all beginners at one time. Some of us stayed that way :) [09:45] :D [09:45] hello, what is the command for EXAILE to play Audio CDs automatically?

[09:54] that was a solution before, let me to try to delete it [09:54] terriblesarcasm: was thinking about that... but this is quite after the upgrade to 9.10... and no new kernel was installed since, AFAIK [09:54] anyone versed in the ways of bind? for DNS help ?

[09:54] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:54] Lungan: whats that do? and how are you setting it? [09:55] moiiiii [09:55] #ubuntu [09:56] terriblesarcasm: how can I debug this? and make sure what the exact problem is? [09:56] Dr_Willis, its the light sensor on my asus, when its on i prevents me from changing the brightness and the screen gets very dark, so i have to set it of by setting the ls_switch to 0 [09:56] moiiii [09:56] Lungan: and what COMMAND/method are you setting it to '0' with? [09:56] Dr_Willis, and I use gedit with sudo to change it [09:56] tika [09:56] Lungan: change it where/how? [09:57] Lungan: if you could come up with a actuall command you type to change it. You could make the /etc/rc.local file run the command and set it at boot time every time [09:57] Dr_Willis, I just open the document with sudo gedit, and then set it to 0, and when i save it it says something about error, but when i dent klick OK it goes to 0, and I can then change brightness, but after reboot ls_switch is 1 again [09:57] brb [09:58] Lungan: I just open the document with sudo gedit, -> Ok.. WHICH document? and save it where? [09:59] Dr_Willis, /sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/ls_switch is the document, it only contains one number, 1 or 0, and I want it to be 0 permanently [10:00] Lungan: NOW you are giveing us some answers. :) you could try a command such as -> echo '0' > /sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/ls_switch [10:00] Lungan: in your /etc/rc.local file [10:00] Dr_Willis, so you mean that i just copy the line "echo '0' > /sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/ls_switch" into /etc/rc.local ? [10:01] Or how do i write it? [10:01] does anyone know anything about using a bluetooth headset in karmic? [10:01] Lungan: try it from a command line first, as root. (i imagine youneed to be root) [10:01] Lungan: but i think that line should do it. put it in rc.local befor the last 'exit' command. [10:01] Dr_Willis, okok, but how do I write then? Im not to used to do this stuffs in ubuntu, usually everything just works fine :) [10:02] Lungan: with your editor just like you have been doing [10:02] Lungan: gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local [10:02] and then just paste echo '0' > /sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/ls_switch [10:02] ? [10:03] Lungan: yes.. be sure its BEFOR the last line in that file that says 'exit' [10:03] hii guys ........i installed ubuntu 9.10 on the virtual box and tried it .....how can i uninstall it>???????????????/ [10:03] Dr_Willis, okok, now I have pasted the line "echo '0' > /sys/devices/platform/asus_laptop/ls_switch" over there [10:03] And that is the correct line you think [10:03] What does the ">" do? [10:03] and what means with echo [10:03] Lungan: bash basics,, it pipes the output into a file. [10:04] Dr_Willis, I will try to reboot now and se if it works, brb and thank you [10:04] Lungan: echo 'hello world' prints 'hello world' Logical eh? [10:04] Aha okej [10:04] brb [10:05] it seems to be a bug in splash screen "get new theme" [10:05] hi all [10:05] I am a bit of a noob with Linux so excuse me in advance if this is a stupid or previously asked question [10:05] hello [10:06] I upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic [10:06] and now I am stuck with the linux restricted modules [10:06] and no way to remove them [10:06] i have read around but there doesn't seem much info on this [10:06] any ideas/tips? [10:06] Jaco2k, please paste the output to pastebin [10:06] Dr_Willis, it seems to be working, thank you very mutch [10:06] Jaco2k: clarify what you mean by 'stuck' [10:07] Lungan: bash basics to the rescue! :) [10:07] Basically, it will always fail when trying to remove [10:07] gimme a sec and will get you the pastebin [10:07] is it safe to just reinstall a karmic install with encrypted home? do i need to do something in advance? [10:08] Dr_Willis, but one thing I dont understand with the light sensor, is how the screen gets darker the darker the light around the computer is, and when I point a lightsource directly to the ls the screen gets very bright [10:08] I tried to mount a hard drive in /dev/ folder using fstab....and I know this was stupid, and I fixed it so it mounds in the /media directory....but now, in my Places menu I have the "remnants" of the /dev/ drive...and it just links to a drive that gets an error when I click it...how do I delete this? [10:08] Dr_Willis, Dont understand the logic about that, but now I dont care anymore :) [10:09] this is the command I am issuing with the hope of a solution: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/325221/ === Gary is now known as evilGary [10:09] so, does anyone have any advice for someone migrating their boot partition from ext4 to ext3? [10:09] Lungan: read some bash tutorials.. that will be chapter one.. page 5 proberly... [10:10] ...and this is the output: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/325222/ [10:10] Lungan: 'echo THISSTRING > THISFILE [10:10] fails to remove [10:10] Jaco2k: well that looks to be fairly useful, however you managed to get to that state. btw, aptitude is generally smarter then apt-get at finding tricky solutions to things [10:10] Is it safe to just reinstall a karmic install with encrypted home? do i need to do something in advance? [10:10] well, I simply ran an upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic [10:11] aptitude fails to remove them also [10:11] RobLikesBrunch: You see the wrong location on the left side pane in the file manager at the bottom? below the 'trash' icon? or above the trash icon? [10:11] Dr_Willis: Above it. [10:12] RobLikesBrunch: thats... weird. [10:12] Dr_Willis: Sec, I'll screenshot it. [10:12] Jaco2k: from the errors given it looks like a lot of it has already been uninstalled. if it were me, I would try to mark the packages as uninstalled and forget about them (modules for a kernel that's not is use won't do anything anyway). I forget how to mark that though. [10:12] RobLikesBrunch: you have done a reboot since then? [10:13] hello [10:13] my guess is yes, they were uninstalled [10:13] but it messed up all the package management [10:13] Dr_Willis: Several. The whole idea was so the drive would auto-mount, and I stupidly chose the location "dev/sda1" for the automount...and I changed it to /media/media...but now I still have this thing left. [10:13] Dr_Willis: The drive is selected, when I click it, I get this error: http://imgur.com/5zH6P.png [10:14] Lungan: just a sec.. thers a 2nd sensor on the mounitor thats like a webcam eye? or is this using the webcam as a light sensor?> ive never seen that on a laptop yet. [10:14] Dr_Wilis: Crap, sorry. Here: http://imgur.com/5zH6P.png [10:14] Can't anybody help me? [10:14] RobLikesBrunch: err.. You want it to mount to /media/SOMTHING not /media I thought [10:15] so, any ideas on how to get rid of these restricted modules? [10:15] RobLikesBrunch: you are using /media/media Hmm.... [10:15] Dr_Willis: The drive works perfectly now. I think this is the result of previously mounting it in /dev/, and is not caused by the current set-up [10:15] RobLikesBrunch: you have a fstab line for that device? or how did you 'change' the mountpoint? [10:16] Dr_Willis: UUID="AA6638EB6638BA41" /media/media ntfs-3g ro,auto,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0 [10:16] RobLikesBrunch: media is such a bla name. ;) Use somthing like MyWindowsStuff :P [10:16] Is it safe to just reinstall a karmic install with encrypted home? do i need to do something in advance? [10:16] Dr_Willis: It's always been my media drive---shared in harmony between Linux and Windows :D [10:16] RobLikesBrunch: look in /dev/ perhaps and see if theres any extra directories/links laying about? [10:16] Dr_Willis, no, its a 2 nd sensor, its just a little point to the left of the webcam [10:17] Lungan: put some black tape over it. :) [10:17] No one knows anything about getting the output of sound to a jawbone bluetooth headset? [10:17] Lungan: oh wait that makes it darker.. like its backwards eh. [10:17] Dr_Willis, yes i dont see the logic with that, but now when i have ls_switch to 0 i can adjust brightness by myself :) [10:17] RobLikesBrunch: id be curious if this affexts all users. or just your one user also. [10:18] why if I want to install trac it will also install apache2, but this dos NOT happen when install trac on ubuntu server edition? [10:18] hello I just rebooted my machine and grub is complaining that it can't find my hard drive [10:18] Dr_Willis: I can't find anything modified after the time I configured the drive. [10:18] anyone know how Ubuntu Server compares to Debian server? [10:18] Dr_Willis: This is my only user account...could I log in as a super user to see? [10:18] RobLikesBrunch: or just add a test user for testing [10:18] Dr_Willis: Eh, I'll just create a new account. [10:19] gave up waiting for root device alert disk dpes not exist dropping to shell [10:19] Dr_Willis: Yeah. Okay, be right back. [10:19] RobLikesBrunch: sudo adduser billgates :) [10:19] I presume no one has any solution for my problem then... ;) [10:19] Jaco2k: i never upgrade, i always do clean isntalls.. sorry cant help [10:19] Dr_Willis: I chose "billgateslovesstevejobs" [10:19] You guys know what I really love about Ubuntu and other debian-based distributions? [10:19] RobLikesBrunch: and the password is moneymoneymoney [10:20] iKernel: this chat room? [10:20] :) [10:20] lol [10:20] nah this: [10:20] Dr_Willis: Exactly :D. Be right back. [10:20] 385.2 mb of files have to be downloaded, 24 mb of disk space will be freed [10:20] bliss [10:20] Hello, how can i swich off compiz and turn on metacity? === _Ranakah is now known as Ranakah [10:21] Marukaz, System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Desktop Effects [10:21] Marukaz: 'metacity --replace' is one way also [10:21] Marukaz: or install/use fusion-icon (if you want to switch quickly tween the 2) [10:21] Dr_Willis: It affects bill/steve as well. [10:22] RobLikesBrunch: Odd.. and this does persist over a reboot as well? [10:22] Dr_Willis: Yes. [10:22] RobLikesBrunch: perhaps its time to ask the #gnome guys - im not sure what you did to even get the thing up there. :) [10:22] Dr_Willis: Note that there isn't any sort of functionality impairment...I just don't want some random, non-functioning drive in my menu. [10:22] Dr_Willis: Will do! [10:22] RobLikesBrunch: they may know of some setting/cache where it keeps that list. [10:22] Dr_Willis thanks for your help. [10:22] ok then... another question... I am getting this: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-11-generic: Depends: linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic but it is not installable [10:23] RobLikesBrunch: ive seen people want to add things up there.. but never have seen a way to do it. [10:23] normal, since that image is not supported anymore, but is there a way to "force" install of it? [10:23] Jaco2k: Youmay need to do a 'dist-upgrade' to get the newer kernel/packages [10:23] sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:23] i did that already - that's what got me into this trouble :) :P [10:24] anyone know of a way to scan for bad sectors in Linux? [10:24] Jaco2k: you did the last one 'dist-upgrade' as well? [10:24] zetheroo: badblocks command. [10:24] yes [10:24] always produces the same result [10:24] Jaco2k: im out of ideas then. [10:24] I think during the upgrade it removed the modules but failed to notice [10:25] Dr_Willis: does anything need to be installed for this to work? [10:25] 2.6.31-14-generic is the latest kernel here. wonder why you cant just install the newer kernels [10:25] as a result, the dependencies I would now need have also been removed [10:25] zetheroo: its a core tool i belive. should be installed by default. [10:25] zetheroo: i think that command is used by fsck with some options. ive never needed to use it stand alone [10:25] I am on the latest kernel - I just can't remove the leftovers from the old ones :( [10:26] Dr_Willis; someone is telling me to use e2fsck -cc ... is that good? [10:26] well... plan B - Live CD and upgrade install [10:26] Jaco2k: Hmm. the new kernel should install its new versions of those - or is that the issue also? you can have several of those packages installed at same time. [10:26] no, those have been deprecated [10:26] zetheroo: ive rarely needed to do that stuff by hand. im not sure what -cc does [10:27] they dropped the entire restricted modules [10:27] Jaco2k: they can still be installed i imagine. :) but the old versions being around shouldent be stoppng the new ones from being installed.. that is the core problem right? [10:27] Hi, quick question: upon installation of kernel image built via make-kpkg (some patches needed to be applied to test), initrd ends up being 67Mb file that (for some reason) cannod be read by grub (grub2). The generic kernels have initrds of 8Mb and grub2 is perfectly happy with them. Is there any obvious step I am missing fork kernel pkg? === damagednoob2 is now known as damagednoob [10:27] Dr_Willis: ok thank you [10:27] Oh yea they renamed them to somting else I recall. [10:28] I rember why i always do clean installs these days. :) [10:28] yeah, but I have a media center in there that took me forever and a while to setup :P [10:28] http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1037821/ubunto-takes-xp-os-showdown [10:29] lol [10:29] hi; I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10, and now the sound is gone; any hints on how to get it back ? [10:30] this is the source of my problem: Ubuntu 9.10 Beta includes the 2.6.31-11.36 kernel based on 2.6.31.1. The kernel ships with Kernel Mode Setting enabled for Intel graphics (see below). linux-restricted-modules is deprecated in favour of DKMS packages. [10:30] now the solution... [10:30] madsj, first of all, in a terminal: uname -a [10:30] who knows? :D [10:30] is there any option to disable password option after awakening the system from suspend or hibernet on ubuntu 9.10 [10:30] Dr_Willis: one other question ... just in case you have a clue ... could I/O errors be caused by bad memory ? .. or not using swap perhaps? [10:30] kostkon: Linux spirou 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [10:31] how can I change tty resolution? [10:31] madsj, ok. now give: aplay -l [10:31] is there any option to disable password option after awakening the system from suspend or hibernet on ubuntu 9.10 [10:31] madsj, use a pastebin, http://paste.ubuntu.com [10:31] kostkon: http://pastebin.org/56013 [10:32] Does anyone know what a low overhead-metod means? [10:32] madsj, ok. now, did you try to setup your sound in system → prefs → sound? [10:32] zetheroo: thers dozens of odd things that can be caysed by bad ram. [10:33] I'm in openbox ... [10:33] Maybe a more mundane matter, but is there a way to make gnome centre windows? [10:33] madsj, oh [10:33] zetheroo: i dont think swap would matter [10:33] gnome and emacs on my system do not go well hand in hand, so I had to find an alternative WM [10:33] is there any option to disable password option after awakening the system from suspend or hibernet on ubuntu 9.10 [10:33] Dr_Willis: ok ... I just always thought that I/O errors would be caused by a bad HDD than bad RAM though [10:33] madsj, hmm ok. eh, try running: alsamixer -Dhw [10:34] madsj: thers proberly some guides/tips on making emacs+gnome play nicely. [10:34] madsj, also, give: ps -A | grep pulse [10:34] zetheroo: its hard to tell. Ive seen VERY weird stuff due to bad ram [10:34] zetheroo: but the hard drives are the weakest link these days [10:35] <[lan3y]> Dr_willis very true [10:35] Dr_Willis: it was a really weird error, where Gnome freezes (you can unfreeze by switching back to a tty-console and then back to Gnome using Alt-F6 and Alt-F7), but it was really annoying [10:35] how do I mount /dev/sda1. it is ext3 [10:36] life is never simple - got two boxes at home, tried to upgrade one first and no issues so I did it on my main one and BANG. I should know better... :) [10:36] oh well, no pain, no game [10:36] <[lan3y]> hullo, what will it be used for? [10:36] for now just to test [10:36] <[lan3y]> i mean root swap ? ect [10:37] I made a directory for it /media/mount [10:37] like a removas [10:37] removable drive [10:37] <[lan3y]> so pull up a terminal, 'mount /sev/sda1 /media/mount' [10:37] <[lan3y]> dev* [10:38] kostkon: http://pastebin.org/56016 [10:39] pfff... [10:39] madsj, ok. eh, you could install pavucontrol and gnome-alsamixer [10:40] madsj, i know, gnome apps :S [10:40] i give up - i'll just ftp in, grab my user folder and wipe the freaking drive with a clean install :P [10:40] madsj, to setup your pulseuadio and check your hardware volume levels [10:41] kostkon: alsamixer has the volume set to 100% [10:41] (and not muted :-)) [10:42] madsj, eh, did oyu run it with the -Dhw option? [10:42] any ops awake right now? [10:42] kostkon: that seems to be default; I just run "alsamixer" [10:43] is there an Ubuntu implementation of ext4? [10:43] madsj, eh, if you have pulse and you just run it wihtout -Dhw, it will only show the pulse software volumes [10:43] madsj, you need to run it with the -Dhw to access your hardware volumes [10:44] im trying to share internet from my ubuntu pc to a laptop with corssover cable so far i only go it so i can connect with ftp and ssh wich laptop but i lost internet on both for ics i used http://pastebin.com/m691593c8 and my interface looks like this http://pastebin.com/m5aa847ff my laptop i put ip 192.168.0.13 subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 how can i fix this ? [10:46] How do I join an irc on a server not listed in the list of servers on Xchat? [10:46] type /server irc.server.net [10:46] <[lan3y]> jphillips86, /server [server address] === canaan is now known as zoe99 [10:47] hi guys, is there a default kbrd shortcut for opening a new terminal in 9.10 ? [10:47] jphillips86, you can also add a new server in xchat → network list [10:49] does anyone know how to find out whether my ubuntu is 32bit or 64 bit? ty [10:50] <[lan3y]> the install media... [10:50] kostkon: I couldn't see a difference between "alsamixer" and "alsamixer -Dhw" [10:50] madsj, hmm ok [10:51] zetheroo: ext4 comes by default in karmic [10:51] madsj, and everything is up? [10:51] kbp, in a terminal: uname -a [10:51] ezipupdate doesn't work - it gives the local ip address as the dns address [10:51] kbp: open a terminal and type uname -a [10:51] kostkon: everything that should be, yes [10:52] kostkon: drats --- That happens all the time. I check my answer before I give it and then I see someone else already gave it :) [10:52] emma, :) [10:52] Linux ubuntu-desktop 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux <--- is it 32bit or 64bit? [10:53] <[lan3y]> i would say no judgeing by.. i686 GNU/Linux [10:53] madsj, eh, you could install pavucontrol or event padevchooser, you may need to check your pulse prefs.

[11:12] Hi. I find update-notifier and update-notifier-kde in startup applications on karmic using gnome. Are both necessary? [11:14] anyone here with experience using vnc? [11:15] bjarni, no [11:16] kostkon: Thanks. I also noticed just now that there are similarly two processes to check hardware. one for kde and one not for kde. I guess one is not needed there either? [11:17] bjarni, i assume that you have also installed kde on your system. [11:17] jak mnie slychac?:P [11:17] What are the feutures of Databasemangement sys? [11:18] bjarni, otherwise, it is very strange that you have all these kde procs on your gnome dekstop. it's strange, but it would be even more strange if you haven't installed kde at all [11:18] !pl | krishnaa [11:18] krishnaa: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [11:18] kostkon: I used to use it instead of gnome and it is installed - some applications needed a part of it at least [11:19] bjarni, ok. then, i assume that these procs are starting when you run a kde app [11:20] bjarni, or it could be that you have kde apps starting when you login and thus you have many kde procs starting along with it [11:20] bjarni, thus, everything's normal, i suppose [11:20] kostkon: Probably - or some leftover settings. I'll take it out of startup applications. [11:20] bjarni, yeah, why not [11:21] I accidently closed sbackup since it is running in the backtground it would still be running right? [11:21] just the gui I closed [11:21] syrius: ps aux | grep backup [11:21] I see gzip and tar still running in top so probably yes [11:22] anyone able to run vino as a vnc server? [11:22] vino?

[14:31] anyone here has a hint for me? [14:31] llutz, if it were only that easy, when i left click on nmapplet my broadband connection does not show up? [14:31] desperate, when i shut down the system it quts gnome x server and shows login terminal. Now crawling troug forums make few tweaks, but i am still unsure if i made everything correct [14:31] DT500, No idea, I've never had a card that couldn't do promiscuous mode when I wanted it :) [14:32] kcj1993: router reset makes no difference either.

[14:38] I'm not sure why this happened though. I suppose it had something to do with windows being in hibernate. [14:38] anyone? [14:38] hi [14:38] is KMS mode enabled in karmic by default? [14:38] mounting a ntfs that windows was using when windows hibernated/suspened = not a good idea. :) [14:39] kostkon: thanks a lot.. lemme try that out..:) [14:39] odinsbane: fsck on ubuntu might solve such situations, but on ext3, on ntfs i'm not so sure [14:39] Dr_Willis: is there a way to check for hibernate. I try to avoid that issue by not using hibernate. [14:40] Probably the safest would be to use ext3, with the windows drivers that rw ext3.

[14:56] TheComputerGuy, ahh. that i don't know. [14:56] om26er, Yea [14:56] DasEi, yep [14:57] thisdotpheonix: so it's got just one partition on it ? [14:57] * TheComputerGuy is downloading lots of stuff [14:58] DasEi, yep [14:58] only one partition [14:58] i have a problem with a wireless card in my ubuntu 9.10, the computer is a dell E6400, the system does not read the wireless card, i installed wine and tried to run the windows application on the system but it prompts me an error, i just wanted to kn ow the resolution to the problem because the system recognizes the network card but it does not makes use of it, how i could solve this problem? [14:58] Dreth is it turned on? [14:59] what? the wireless card? [14:59] yes [14:59] thisdotpheonix: no especially with usb-creator, but with unetbootin I found that the stick wasn't set up, when the gui said 'done, which size has the stick ? [14:59] Dreth: yeah, is the E6400 a laptop? [14:59] yes [14:59] I'm trying to upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty, but for some stupid reason while hacking I added karmic main universe to sources.list. do-release-upgrade is saying I'm having "an unresolvable problem" - Can not mark 'ubuntu-desktop' for upgrade. If it's of any interest, I'm not actually running GNOME any more - I use Xfce exclusively [14:59] dreth: system -> preferences -> network connections - go to the wireless tab and add an entry for your card there [14:59] is there a wallpaper spinner in ubuntu ? [15:00] done [15:00] it doesn't connect [15:00] DasEi, what exact info do you require? [15:00] dreth: I don't know about wine myself, but my guess is that you can't access the wifi directly via windows === jamie is now known as Guest51261 [15:00] how can I tell Ubuntu to stop trying to install a printer driver?

[15:01] how can I tell ubuntu to actually stop trying to mount my usb printer so I can use it inside virtualbox? [15:01] 1gb [15:01] yes because the system recognizes it and it says the model of the wireless card [15:01] dreth: are you telling it to use dhcp? do you have a dhcp server? [15:01] ooh found it, desktop drapes [15:01] yes i have a dhcp server and a wireless connection [15:01] yesterday i bought a new lcd, now my monitor says me that the resolution is out of range and shows a black screen. due to that the xorg.conf is obsolete in karmic i dont know what to do. i tried a live cd (9.04) there the xserver also doesnt start. now im downloading 9.10 live cd and try that. but im not very optimistic...

[15:02] Dreth: so you can connect to the internet via ubuntu and yoru wi-fi card. [15:02] riek42, which nvidia card and which lcd?

[15:04] ok nice lets wait for that [15:05] dreth: is it a button with a coloured light by any chance? [15:05] Dreth, I would suggest going to a terminal and try sudo iwlist wlan0 scan, and see if it gives you an error. [15:05] thisdotpheonix: do you use an iso or a cd for the source-medium ?

[15:06] kaffedroid, set the appropriate profile in your sound prefs. also if you want, insatll gnome-alsamixer and check your hardware volumes [15:07] it says wlan0 interface doesn't support scanning [15:07] DasEi, do i need to create two partitions on the stick [15:07] Dreth: try sudo ifconfig wlan0 up then do the iwlist cmd again.

[15:30] om26er__, no keyboard applet on my bar, the ibus just have a ibus icon on notification area. [15:30] I'm thinking that having grub installed on the hard drive from when I had windows is causing the issue.

[15:36] magr: notice the use of the term 'emerald' in all those? those are emerald window decorator themes [15:36] richiejenkins: also when you create the file, you should put the .run file in its own directory. [15:36] magr: and emerald is basically dieing off. so i would say stick with the normal gnome themes [15:36] odinsbane: yeah its not listed, but there is no instructions? [15:37] magr: ones that say 'metacity' are for gnome's window manager [15:37] richiejenkins: isnt there an option for 'other distributions' [15:37] Dr_Willis, ok...ill look in to that...=) thanks [15:37] odinsbane: yes [15:37] !info gnome-art | magr [15:37] magr: gnome-art (source: gnome-art): install GNOME themes from art.gnome.org.

[15:47] Dr_Willis, thanks for the info. at least i dont have to waste more time on this now. [15:47] somebody help.. when i try to burn a cd, OPC fails.. [15:47] richiejenkins: so you want to install all of these that correspond to your architecture. [15:47] ie 32bit or 64 bit. [15:48] biopyte: becuse they are working on adding new features to gdm and other areas. so eventually it will be better. [15:48] LjL:its not printing any thing? [15:48] odinsbane: I'm on 32bit, how do i install them? double click? [15:48] biopyte: if its that critical you can install the old gdm. but i dont advise it [15:48] om26er__, I'll reboot to verify it now:) [15:48] pid12: are you looking at the right terminal - the one where you typed apt-get upgrade in the first place?! [15:48] LjL:ya [15:49] sudo dpkg -i something.deb something_else.deb other32bitversion.deb [15:49] pid12: well, it really should be printing stuff, if it's running. can you just give me an idea of what's on your screen?

[15:49] richiejenkins, sudo dpkg -i *.deb [15:49] odinsbane: is that right? [15:50] none of them say amd64 ? [15:50] pid12: bad idea, you'll probably be left with a non-working apt... anyway, i suggest just waiting until it's finished. you'll know it's finished when your HD stops crunching, i suppose. [15:50] LjL:now if i type anything its showing the error wich i showed u earlier [15:50] okay... this is really weird. 'dig www.oddlyspecific.com' hangs and times out. 'dig +trace oddlyspecific.com' does not.... anyone ever seen anything like that before? [15:50] pid12: lesson to be learnt, DON'T interrupt apt.

[15:50] ja :)/j ##c [15:51] richiejenkins: thats fine then you could do dpkg -i *.deb === frog_ is now known as zabka [15:51] richiejenkins: ati is amd or something like that.

[15:51] odinsbane: Do i have to dkpg them seperatley? [15:51] richiejenkins: I didn't [15:52] richiejenkins: if you do them one at a time, you have to do it in the right order. [15:52] odinsbane: so i.e / dkpg -i *.deb *.deb *.deb? [15:52] Dr_Willis, ok thanks. so lets hope for improvements within the near future. the gnome guys cant leave this POS as it is right now. [15:53] richiejenkins: I suspect it will fail, and you'll have to install some packages with apt-get get. [15:53] lo all [15:53] richiejenkins: sudo dpkg -i *.deb (make sure you are in the right folder) [15:53] ok [15:53] . === help is now known as Guest58998 [15:53] i can start an live cd in save graphics mode, and karmic starts, but when i tried it with my installed version (bootparameter xforcevesa), i have a black screen [15:54] need help with ubuntu 9.10 instalation. the setup can't find my hard drives.

[16:07] kostkon, do you think it's a matter of re-mapping my audio channels? [16:07] Can I see what card it is with lspci? [16:08] How long ago did you install Ubntu, birch? [16:08] lumoha, thats great. I would try the same machine just as a test on a plain old hd without the raid. Its the only thing I can think of. It may give you more information to work with [16:08] yesterday :P [16:08] kostkon, because it seems a bit odd my center speaker echoing sounds from front left and rear left [16:08] I searched the forums but found nothing. [16:08] kaffedroid, hmm [16:08] okay, birch, you can try lspci (no clue what it does :p ) but if you can find the model we can get farther [16:09] !!!help!!! need help with ubuntu 9.10 instalation. the setup can't find my hard drives. but i can manage the hard drive in the ubuntu manager... help plz [16:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:09] you obviously have internet so any drivers that would have helped would have come in already [16:09] sync3times: it run perfectly with 8.10. i wanted to try ext4 for performance reasons. perhaps i try thegood old 8.10 first. and trouble shoot the 9.10 later [16:09] odinsbane: http://i47.tinypic.com/2w5pqn7.png [16:09] lumoha, oh, didnt know that part [16:09] odinsbane: that ok? [16:09] you may have received a popup or something about "restricted/non-free drivers" Did you? [16:09] lumoha, that makes it harder [16:10] Birch, it might be SIS M760GX and type lspci in terminal and search [16:10] hm [16:10] kaffedroid, could you give: speaker-test -Dplug:surround40 -c4 -l1 -twav ? just for testing [16:10] or irc? [16:10] What's the graphic card? THe vga compatible controller? [16:10] sync3times: that makes a bug in the 9.10 and64 probable [16:10] can someone tell me how to log in as root so I can change permissions for a removal drive [16:10] !!!help!!! need help with ubuntu 9.10 instalation. the setup can't find my hard drives. but i can manage the hard drive in the ubuntu manager... help plz [16:10] Thanks for the help lads [16:10] Workin fine [16:10] removalble ...

Maybe they added a driver for that controller, and its not just a "sata" anymore [16:11] sure [16:11] ltgg: you can do "sudo -i" or just put "sudo" at the beginning of each command you want to run as root [16:11] yeah yeah... soz [16:11] lumoha, luck [16:11] sync3times: perhaps.

[16:11] odinsbane: is that ok? [16:11] kaffedroid, wow === mio is now known as Guest6994 [16:11] richiejenkins: I think you have to run some config before you reboot.

[16:12] Garbin, can you try increasing space between applets [16:12] odinsbane: how do i open this? [16:13] richiejenkins: the only thing you need to do is update your xorg.conf, and I think ati-config does taht. [16:13] odinsbane: / run it [16:13] vistro .... just want to make user owner of removable drive, not root [16:13] bazhang , . sive been searching for quite some timeoz, i wont repeat myself.

Basically, none of the music players are able to determine the song length. [16:14] richiejenkins: by all means run that, you'll probably have to sudo it [16:14] whammo, just not working means....

[16:27] thx very much [16:27] minderaser: thanks, i was thinkingt he same thing, but why is it freezing.....it has happened twice in five minutes [16:27] kamil: download a 64bit version on cd and see if your performance imporves. [16:27] and second question [16:27] vistro: mount point: /media/22cbe7cd-656c-4dbf-87fa-30131bc92dee [16:27] kamil: there is no guarantee that 64bit will fix any of your bugs [16:27] is 10 gigabytes good for ubuntu ? [16:27] odinsbane: feels so unresponive, i.e when you go to open a program from the task bar it take like 1 seccond to display [16:27] ltgg ouch that's a long name lol. [16:27] DasEi: but I have this nice monitor and most production software is unusable at 4:3 1024x768 nowadays === aaron11 is now known as diib [16:27] ltgg okay, first off, you will have to use the terminal [16:27] richiejenkins: I turn of my compiz effects because I have a similar issue. [16:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/325464/ nothing exotic [16:27] kamil: by the way, 64bit software requires more memory, so unless youve got 4GiB, your system will likely actually suffer WORSE performance with amd64 === diib is now known as Fuk [16:28] ltgg It's okay, I will form the command for you, all you will do is copy it, and ctrl+shift+v it into your terminal [16:28] richiejenkins: there coudl be a setting in the catalyst control, it has a lot of options. [16:28] maco, thats not true [16:28] enovativ: I can't really be sure why. It could be a specific site you're visiting [16:28] what is your username in ubuntu? [16:28] gms: yes it is [16:28] whammo: so then a simple switchback isn't working for sure, did you tried calling nvidia settings (with external attached) ? === Fuk is now known as aaron11 [16:28] minderaser: thanks [16:28] thomas [16:28] gms: pointers are 64bits instead of 32bits when compiled for 64bit hardware [16:28] I enabled autosave under System->Preferences->Startup Applications, decided I didn't like it, and went back and unchecked the autosave. But it still opens the apps I was running from when I first enabled it. How to fix this? [16:28] gms: thus, more memory is used [16:28] maco, with amd64 you have more registers which pays off [16:29] ltgg try this command: [16:29] gms: my system thrashed like mad on 64bit til i upgraded to 4GiB. on 2GiB it was frequently unusable [16:29] sudo chown -R thomas /media/22cbe7cd-656c-4dbf-87fa-30131bc92dee [16:29] DasEi: yes with it attatched just now I tried detection and configuration and everything seemed fine. boot-time is the problem [16:29] Hi all. I'm trying to boot a UNR 9.10 cd image from my USB stick to install onto my laptops (hp & asus). I used unetbootin to create the bootable USB drive. However, when I try and boot up ubuntu, it tells me : Modprobe: Fatal: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/modules.dep : No such file or directory [16:29] any idea how can I get the history list of Klipper-Clipboard Tool ? [16:29] i have 1GB RAM memory :(. The problems with ubuntu are: Firefox can't remeber config [i have to remark "offline work"], nvidia settings can't be remebered [i always have to reconfig configurations in that driver] And sometimes ubuntu is crashing [16:29] gms: the advantages of extra registers depends quite a bit on the compiler's optimization skills [16:29] maco, perhaps you use bloated software then - which is bloated in 32bit and 64bit versions ... [16:29] odinsbane: hmm, when i turn the effects off fully when moving a window it lags very badly [16:29] DasEi: excuse me not boot but X startup [16:29] that will recursively (every folder and subfolder) change the owner to you. you will have full control [16:29] maco: none of my programs that I have checked have a larger memory footprint in 64 bits than 32 bits. [16:30] gms: my 32bit computer never thrashes [16:30] gcc optimizes pretty good, maco [16:30] Hi, after adding a large collection to amarok the amount of storage left in the hard drive shrunk considerably (by several GB). I've deleted the collection from amarok and restarted the software, but the HD use hasn't gone down. Where should I look for the culprit files so I can delete them? [16:30] gms: it has 1GiB of RAM [16:30] DasEi: twinview would be nice but being able to simply use it as default screen would be fine [16:30] kamil: i wonder how that might possibly have *anything* to do with 64 vs 32 bit. [16:31] error in experiment? , maco [16:31] kostkon, nothing :( [16:31] anyone know why its happening? [16:31] Hi all. I'm trying to boot a UNR 9.10 cd image from my USB stick to install onto my laptops (hp & asus). I used unetbootin to create the bootable USB drive.

[16:31] kostkon, I'm beginning to believe the ES1371 driver was carried out this way [16:31] om26er_: i've verified the md5sums of the image [16:31] kamil: oh, i don't know, and even if i knew i wouldn't tell you, after you've been so rude. [16:31] kaffedroid, try to make a custom asound.conf [16:31] kostkon, too strange none has ever complained [16:31] I will [16:31] maco: Yes i have UbuDSL for config my network [16:32] kaffedroid, don;t know, but definitely it's not a real sb :( [16:32] odinsbane: just huge lag :/ [16:32] Kream, then re-write the usb after formating it [16:32] richiejenkins: Its a bit beyond me now, if you disable all affects, you can still change settings in the catalyst control. [16:32] Kream, which os are you on atm? [16:32] kamil: well thats why on firefox then. it asks networkmanager "am i online?" if youre not using nm, nm cant answer that quesiton [16:32] whammo: does your xorg.conf contain data ? [16:32] Urgh, karmic broke changing the logon screen background customisation in gdmsetup it seems: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/449198 I tried the gksudo line but it just results in I/O errors. What should I try next? [16:32] kostkon, for sure! althought it's written with shiny golden letters "Sound Blaster Live 5.1" [16:32] kaffedroid, lol [16:32] vistro: thanks ... that made me owner. Drive is still in group 'root' but I can now use it.

[16:33] richiejenkins: how are you disabling all effects?

[16:34] maco: well i want them both on my main hd - so I need to get grub working etc. is there a tutorial on this? [16:34] kaffedroid, http://paste.ubuntu.com/325471/ [16:34] It happened before one time, but got fixed after 3 reboots [16:34] odinsbane: through appearance prefrences > visual effects [16:34] birch can you at least get to a logon screen? [16:34] maco: s*it ;/ [16:34] no [16:34] kamil: no swaring [16:34] I installed firmware for the internet card before [16:34] does your livecd work? [16:34] and it started happening [16:34] how old is this machine? [16:34] istvan: i dont know of a tutorial for moving things like that, no. i know that you should always install ubuntu *after* windows if you want grub to work, but thats it [16:34] kostkon, what the...

Is good to reinstall the system into 64 bit version? I have !Gb RAM and i don't know mayby debian or fedora will erase the problem. I heard about ubuntu some things like ubuntu likes crashing sometimes. The best linux is debian yeah? [16:36] odinsbane: 2.6.31. [16:36] kostkon, from now on I won't even mention 'I have a SB Live' [16:36] kaffedroid, hahaha [16:36] birch I really have no clue what to do at this point. Once you lose the screen it's kinda impossible to do very much. maybe someone else here knows what to do? [16:36] kamil no distro wars here please [16:36] DasEi: but while x is starting external does not get the nvidia screen, but does turn blank as though it is recieving a blank-screen signal [16:36] with no shadow of doubt I must look now for posts covering issues with Ensoniq 1371 [16:37] whammo: backup xorg.conf then I try an reconfigure from safemode, with external plugged [16:37] vistro Alright thanks again for the help, I'll see what to do :/ [16:37] rsk: I'm new in linux i don't know wich distribution ios good [16:37] birch sorry about negative experience so far [16:37] anyone know bout compiz [16:37] ?

[16:37] kaffedroid, yeah, and if you can make a custom asound.conf [16:37] !best | kamil but ubuntu is most widely used and is more user friendly [16:37] odinsbane: thanks for the help anyway, [16:37] kamil but ubuntu is most widely used and is more user friendly: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel.

I'm debating how I'm going to install karmic on my machine. Usually I dual boot, but I've been thinking of using wubi instead this time around to give me more flexibility harddrive wise. Other than a slight performance hit, are there any other drawbacks to wubi any of you know? [16:38] odinsbane: hmm [16:38] Azanoth, grep -R *.wav * [16:38] Sorry, I should have mentioned I need it to recursively search through child directories [16:38] whammo: write down for cli : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [16:38] Azanoth, ah, in that case follow matic's advice [16:39] hello to everyone !

I've been having a lot of trouble installing ubuntu with my existing xp install.

[17:03] ActionParnsnip: it fails when i try to remove it also, is there a way to do it from the terminal with a sudo?

[19:12] jaybuzz : grub is not loaded because grub is loaded on first 512 bytes on your sda , which you has been overwrite [19:12] http://pastebin.ca/1682607 <- anyone can help me get ssh based on key login working please? I have an ubuntu and debian servers .. debian can connect to ubuntu ok but ubuntu is not connecting to debian .. same process used. thanks [19:12] !patience | Taha [19:12] Taha: 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. [19:12] I'll repeat my question just in case you missed it the first time. [19:12] I have tried to install Ubuntu many times, but sadly, this is what happens. I click on the install option (does the same when I try live cd), and it the logo (that fades in and fades out) appears. After a while, this black window appears and pauses at: "Starting remaining crypto disks..." The DVD/CD drive stops reading the DVD, and the computer just freezes. [19:13] jaybuz : grub is not loaded because grub is loaded on first 512 bytes on your sda , which you has been overwrite [19:13] ubottu: Opps [19:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about Opps [19:13] ubottu: You don't? [19:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about You don't? [19:13] ubottu: Are you some sort of bot? [19:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:13] alexandre: If you didn't get a reply yet, right click switcher panel in corner and select Preferences. You can tell it to show only the current workspace. [19:13] Taha: are you able to boot using it as live cd? [19:14] But i reinstalled Ubuntu now it still doesn't work [19:14] I need to open a video as layers so that I can make it a gif animation in GIMP. I think I've installed GAP but I still can't open the mp4 file. Help me [19:14] jrib: thank you for attention : installing seahorse plugin and restarted nautilus did the trick [19:14] hi... where can i set environment variables in Ubuntu? [19:14] Guest32320: If you have the right program and codecs installed you should be able to play the video without converting it first. [19:14] how can I get a report from the OS how large a drive is? I have a 250Gb Seagate drive in this external case, and it's only reporting to GPARTED as a 120Gb drive [19:14] chaitu: No, it does the same when I boot from Live CD. [19:14] RolaBlade, .bashrc? [19:14] how can i make an icon to launch AND connect to terminal server client? i tried "tsclient mysaved_config" but no luck, it jjust opens the client window and waits for me to hit connect [19:14] My sound on flash websites is sturringgggggggggg [19:14] how to fix [19:14] chaitu: Do you want to see my PC specifications? [19:15] konstkon: Can you please brief me on how i can do that? [19:15] Jaybuz : now is ubuntu s only the os on ur system ? [19:15] Plugh, where is the switcher panel? [19:15] Taha: did you try a different cd? maybe that cd is corrupted? [19:15] Oh, Guest32320 was using gimp-gap. Not sure what it is set to hand.e === |biovore| is now known as BioVore [19:15] RolaBlade, don't really know exactly; just google it [19:16] anyone familiar with x11vnc? [19:16] what exactly does this mean then: sudo dd if=chromiumos.img of=/dev/sda bs=4m [19:16] alexandre: Maybe I got the wrong name. I was referring to the thing in the bottom right corner of your screen (in the right side of the bottom toolbar) that lets you change from one desktop to another. [19:16] chaitu: I burned 3 DVDs in total [19:16] chaitu: They all failed [19:16] !openJDK [19:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about openJDK [19:16] chaitu: I even tried Fedora, and Fedora didn't work either [19:16] Jaybuz: this mean you have write chrominumour.img over sda (your hard disk ) [19:16] Plugh the workspace switcher [19:16] !info openjdk [19:16] Package openjdk does not exist in karmic [19:16] if my 500GB drive is wiped then yes.

[19:17] Plugh Google does nothing. How can i find out? It doesn't have a wiki. It's an ass to install. It's an ass to deal with and I hate it. Why can't they have this feature by default? [19:17] maco: what is it ?thanks [19:17] Can anyone besides chaitu help me out? [19:17] I have tried to install Ubuntu many times, but sadly, this is what happens. I click on the install option (does the same when I try live cd), and it the logo (that fades in and fades out) appears.

[19:20] Gadget3000:? [19:20] chaitu: This drive has been working perfectly fine so far. =\ [19:20] I want a sidebar that show cpu-usage, ram usage, and nettwork usage? [19:20] Do you guys want my PC specifications? [19:20] Is that possible in gnome? [19:20] Cuddles, I doubt I can, but Im curious as to what your problem is. [19:20] Maybe my PC is too underpowered? [19:20] hey guys, I have an External HardDrive formatted to Ext3, but when I plug the USB cable into my laptop it isn't detected. Any ideas how to mount this drive? [19:20] Maybe my PC is too overpowered? [19:20] Taha: can you try using the cds in a diff machine? that might give you some answers [19:20] Guest32320: odt?

[19:20] Plugh: Wouldn't it be easier if I converted the file to a format that xubuntu could read? [19:20] Guest32320: I haven't been listening to the whole problem but that package is what vlc uses to play mp4 files [19:20] I wiped about 150GB in about 2 seconds??? [19:20] chaitu: They worked on my 5 year old computer. [19:20] i thought _mydata would sort above apps in file browser, how can i put mydata above apps [19:20] i have a little problem with my radeon driver [19:20] chaitu: But not this computer [19:20] linxeh: found anything yet ? try looking at vobcopy then :P [19:20] xae8koo, yes I have run across that, I'll check my HDD... [19:21] when i try to run vncpasswd ~/.vnc/passwd it tells me it is not there or doesnt exist [19:21] sp0, you can look at either the synaptic package manager, or the Add/Remove under applications [19:21] Taha : do you try to install ubuntu by inserting it into cd/dvd driver , then from windows dobule click on cd icons , man like we install any software [19:21] Plugh, thats not the issue, my system is working fine [19:21] greezmunkey: ? [19:21] Plugh: Open document text format [19:21] when i use vesa everything works but when i use radeon, all i get is a black screen when i start gdm [19:21] knoppies, i am talking about with console [19:21] anyone know how to solve this? [19:21] Guest32320: What does odt have to do with a video file? [19:21] Taha: that shows its not a issue with cds then.. how about your specs? [19:21] voila: No, I have configured my BIOS to boot from the CD/DVD drive before my primary hard drive. [19:21] Plugh, my problem is just the names of device mapper devices. I want to change them [19:21] spO, oh, not sure. [19:21] chaitu: I'll upload my specifications in a moment. [19:21] xae8koo, I DL'd an applet like that, but I deleted it, I found it using google [19:22] chaitu: http://pastie.org/710209.txt [19:22] spO, I assume it would be an apt command, try man page the apt command [19:22] chaitu: My PC specifications [19:22] greezmunkey, can you remember what it was called? [19:22] greezmunkey: Ok [19:22] But I would like something more flashy [19:22] chaitu: Maybe I have too much RAM? [19:22] xae8koo, no, but I remember the search, hold a sce, brbr [19:22] chaitu: I have 4 GB of RAM. [19:22] spO: dpkg -l | grep "^ii" [19:22] Taha: if you want to install ubunutu , then i you should try to install it from windows , [19:22] [19:22] spO: thatll give everything thats installed [19:22] voila: I tried that, and that also failed [19:22] Gadget3000: I see. But it still would be easier if I just coverted it [19:22] wapko: fwiw - vobcopy does what I want :) [19:22] oh ok [19:23] voila: You mean in a virtual machine? [19:23] xand_: You will need to lookup info on the mapper program. You have to be careful trying to change device names as they may also appear in /etc/fstab and in your grub boot configuration. If you don't change them all properly your machine may not boot properly. [19:23] Taha: nope it has nothing to do with RAM [19:23] Plugh: Nothing [19:23] hi! can someone help me? Surround doesn't work here with an Ensoniq 1371 :\ [19:23] chaitu: To be honest, I'm really stumped. [19:23] Guest32320: Yeha, just convert it [19:23] * Taha will be right back. [19:23] my guess would be bios [19:23] does anyone here know if the b43 driver is supported by hostapd? [19:23] again thats my guess... :) [19:23] Gadget3000: To what format? [19:23] anyone know how to add magnet link protocol to google chrome? [19:24] kaffedroid: in what way does it not work [19:24] hello.

[19:24] Guest32320: Why not just install the codec and/or files you need to play the video? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [19:24] Gadget3000, when I run speaker-test -c5, only front channels are audible [19:24] rip because the package master decided it [19:24] Taha: no i m not asking for virtual machine , i just say , we can intall ubutnu from windows like we install any software , jsut double click on cd/dvd icons that comes , if it doesnot work , then sorry [19:24] Taha: Here's the ubuntu complete list of download servers - Most or all of these will have the alternate iso [19:24] Has anyone had any experience installing to, then booting from, a CompactFlash drive?

[19:25] Guest32320: See you when you arrive. :-) [19:25] hai [19:25] how can I convert a swf file to 3gp? [19:25] bcj: You should do a persistent live install and use the directions at Pendrivelinux.com [19:26] way cooler than a standard install [19:26] uh... I don't believe they're convertable cutout [19:26] Here's a link to some panel applets: http://www.gnomefiles.org/subcategory.php?sub_cat_id=154 [19:26] mcurran: Is there any reason why installing directly to the drive shouldn't work? [19:26] voila: you could try something called wubi which would install ubuntu in windows, but otherwise ubuntu is an operating system [19:26] I guess i'll reinstall windows then [19:26] Hello...does anyone know how how to re-direct a specific webapp entry (/example) from http to https using modjk...It appears that modjk is redirecting before my re-write rules kick in...is there a work around? [19:26] hey guys, I have an External HardDrive formatted to Ext3, but when I plug the USB cable into my laptop it isn't detected. Any ideas how to mount this drive? [19:26] bcj: It wil work, it's just not as fun, and you can't use it on other computers two [19:26] rsk: how can I convince the package master to update the 'emacs' package to the latest version?

Sorry. =) [19:27] that depends on your configuration taha [19:27] ignatius: man mount [19:27] Is it possible to create a seperate *sources.list* file containing only 3rd party repos & ppa with the intent to upgrade only specific packages you want from that list? Basically as a means of control so when you see a new version of a package it isn't comingled with the entire list of packages in the main sources.list. [19:27] cdouble, grub 1 or 2? [19:27] lstarnes: 9.10 [19:27] I'm a flash developer, and the swf is compiled bytecode to run just in the flash player [19:27] i can't install stuff from the Ubuntu software center, it just says "not available in current data". do i just need to do sudo apt-get update?

How can I mount it if I don't know the device name or anything like that? [19:28] anyone know the irc for moonos? [19:28] joshjfluff: try sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade [19:28] Kudi: that's X, which is the display server [19:28] thanks maco i think i should be able to figure that i was just looking at the boot list file [19:29] cdoublejj: i think there's a begin automagic kerls line and an end one, and it needs to go before the begin line [19:29] lstarnes: i wish there was a way to automatically kill everythin i dont absolutly need [19:29] joshyfluff: well the software you want to install is not in the repository , that are added in ur pc , then you should add repository which provide ur requied software , for this do google [19:29] Kudi: sledgehammer! [19:29] Kudi: are you using any graphical programs? [19:29] bcj: Then just install to the drive with ubiquity like you would your hd then - I was just making a suggestion (I had fun setting up persistent installs on thumbdrives) I actually had three distros dual booting persistent live environments on a usb stick [19:29] i thought _mydata would sort above apps in file browser, how can i put mydata above apps in nautilus [19:29] hi I would like to join mp3+jpeg in one video file.

[19:29] cdoublejj: If you have grub already set with the boot choices, you need to set "default=n" and "timeout=s", where n is a number for the choice you want as the default (numbers start from 0), and s is the delay in seconds before your default choice is used for booting. [19:29] cdoublejj: You can select the default OS in /boot/grub/menu.lst- default is first one (0) [19:29] farciarz84: mp3 is an audio file.. [19:29] maco, that looks like crap [19:30] rsk: file a bug report on launchpad? Also, is it because demand for the latest 'emacs' is very little within the Ubuntu community? I ask because Fedora seems to always get the latest version of emacs within a couple of weeks of the newest release [19:30] Scunizi: so what? [19:30] lstarnes: im using openbox with exaile, pidgin, tint2, firefox....thats most of the time...sometimes transmission [19:30] can i put some inocuos punctiation [19:30] mcurran: I've already installed.

[19:30] Kudi: you will need X for that [19:30] voila: i am installing from a fresh install [19:30] mcurran: It wont boot for some reason. [19:30] :( [19:30] voila:i'll get it eventually ^^ [19:30] farciarz84: or do you mean to combine pic and audio together in a file that can .. say.. play a slide show with an audio overlay? [19:30] farciarz84, you want to mix sound, dubb sound to a jpeg video? [19:30] rip: ubuntu doesnt add new upstream versions of software after ubuntu releases. the new version would go into the next development release [19:30] Kudi: let me know the result [19:30] rip: only bugfixes & security fixes go in post-release [19:30] I know there are issues with some drives not identifying themselves correctly, but I bought this one specifically for the reason that it is bootable. [19:31] joshyfluff: i didn;t get u , well what u want to install [19:31] anyone know where the sessions options would be in karmic, please. [19:31] Scunizi: yes I need to combine it [19:31] ZaNeIuM: system> preferences > sessions [19:31] kostkon: both 5 and 6 java is installed on system but firefox detects 5 , anyway there is problem with both java , means that applet can not be opened by other browsers too .. except sun-java-jre and sun-java-bin and sun-java-plugin should any other package be installed ?Good day every one , which packages should be installed to open a java web base app ? sun-java-bin & sun-java-jre & sun-java- plugin are installed , but firefox can not open a java ap [19:31] plet on linux(ubuntu) that firefox can open it in vista of course it is opened in another system with linux debian5, why ? , means that applet can not be opened by other browsers too .. except sun-java-jre and sun-java-bin and sun-java-plugin should any other package be installed ? [19:31] nytek_: is it in the repositories and do i need the "!"? [19:31] voila: apt-get update solved the problem. [19:31] its not there as i looked [19:31] greezmunkey: I want to publish my mp3 witha picuture on youtube. [19:31] maco: but emacs 23.1 has been out for 4 months now, and 9.10 was released last month [19:31] alabd: uninstall 5? [19:31] ok ok [19:31] * Taha feels left out. [19:31] maco [19:31] rip: feature freeze was....august though, i think [19:31] Taha: dun be depressed , [19:31] Kudi: he might have referred to an actual sledgehammer [19:31] * Taha realizes that no one cares about his disablility of not being able to install Ubuntu. [19:31] hi all [19:31] voila: xD [19:32] Kudi: repositories? for? [19:32] bcj: Probably has something to do with the grub instructions and your IDE micky mouse rig [19:32] maco: Good day every one , which packages should be installed to open a java web base app ? sun-java-bin & sun-java-jre & sun-java- plugin are installed , but firefox can not open a java applet on linux(ubuntu) that firefox can open it in vista of course it is opened in another system with linux debian5, why ? , means that applet can not be opened by other browsers too .. except sun-java-jre and sun-java-bin and sun-java-plugin should any other package [19:32] be installed ?

[19:32] voila: Unfortuantely, no one knows the solution [19:32] alabd: if youve got 5 & 6 and its using 5 but you want 6, just remove 5 [19:32] Taha: hahahaa lololzz [19:32] Are you all regular Ubuntu users? [19:32] Taha: have you tried the alternate cd? [19:32] Taha: so if no one knows, why keep asking? [19:32] good way to draw aatention [19:32] nytek_: oh i thought sledge hammer was a program lol [19:32] mcurran: It's not Jerry-rigged. [19:32] farciarz84: there's LiVeS at www.getdeb.net which I think will do that.. and perhaps kdenlives which is in the repos. the most other video editors available only deal with video streams and not static jpg's.. at least from what I've found. [19:32] lstarnes: I honestly don't understand. I got a list of download mirrors, but none of them are labelled alternate CD. [19:32] Jury-rigged* [19:32] so x11vnc shows up in my synaptic as installed but it still wont let me change the pass word. so why does it tell me its not there [19:33] so right before this http://slexy.org/view/s21S2JpHtY i paste this http://slexy.org/view/s21KxzvFKw i ofund it on this https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+question/11305 [19:33] Ignatius: There is still hope inside of me. [19:33] and that I should install tightvnc [19:33] Taha: Why can't you install? [19:33] Kudi: lol, so much going on in this channel, i forgot already. but, to answer your question, hell yeah you need the ! [19:33] Taha: do one thing [19:33] Taha: the CDs are labeled either "desktop" or "alternate" [19:33] Taha: are you using the 64-bit version of ubuntu or the 32-bit version> [19:33] Taha: you want the "alternate" one [19:33] Taha: What architecture do you want... [19:33] Plugh: After the logo fades and fades out, it gets stuck at "Starting remaining crypto disks..." [19:33] Where do you live.. [19:33] maco: ok, so what is the correct way to fix this problem... File a bug report on launchpad requesting an update of 'emacs' to latest version? [19:33] lstarnes: 32-bit version I believe [19:33] Taha: boot from live cd , then chroot to ur harddisk , then format it compeltly [19:33] I'll give you the direct link O.K. [19:33] Kudi: lol, im sorry if i got you excited, what was the question again/ [19:33] ? [19:33] Scunizi: I've tried kdenlives and lives without result :/ also kino and many more [19:33] maco that is not problem both have problem to open applet [19:33] voila: Is that my only solution? [19:33] which packages should be installed to open a java web base app ? sun-java-bin & sun-java-jre & sun-java- plugin are installed , but firefox can not open a java applet on linux(ubuntu) that firefox can open it in vista of course it is opened in another system with linux debian5, why ? , means that applet can not be opened by other browsers too .. except sun-java-jre and sun-java-bin and sun-java-plugin should any other package be installed ? [19:34] ooohhh http://boff.wordpress.com/2007/01/17/editing-bootgrubmenulst-to-change-the-grub-boot-menu/ [19:34] rip: er wait [19:34] looks like good how to [19:34] rip: 23.1 IS in 9.10 and 10.04 [19:34] Taha: You are/were using encryption on your hard drive partitions? [19:34] hi! can someone help me? Surround doesn't work here with an Ensoniq 1371 :\ ... and I'm running out of ideas! [19:34] i can't control audio volume. can anyone help? [19:34] nytek_: if there was a program that killed all uneeded processes [19:34] Taha: it is one solution from thousands [19:34] Plugh: Nope. [19:34] alabd; I don't think anybody understands that [19:34] voila: Hmm, I see. [19:34] farciarz84: from what I've read Lives should allow you to combine video, pictures and audio.. I"ve been watching it for a couple years.. it's getting pretty mature. [19:34] voila: I'll try it, but I'll need to back everything up. [19:34] nytek_: sometimes ill see like 9 firefoxs in htop [19:34] Taha: how much bit cpu do u have ? [19:34] Taha: look in the mirrors for ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso [19:34] Plugh: My PC specifications can be found here: http://pastie.org/710209.txt [19:34] mcurran: why ? [19:34] voila: http://pastie.org/710209.txt [19:34] any advise on this problem? [19:34] hi, how can I use rsync to backup t [19:34] voila: 32-Bit [19:34] Kudi: what unwanted processes? [19:35] how do i see what the /dev.... of my pendrive?? [19:35] data from a windows system [19:35] Taha: may be ubuntu is 32 bit too ? [19:35] Yes, I'm pretty sure it's 32 bit. [19:35] I've got a recovery console; how do I check grub is set up correctly? [19:35] I'm almost sure it is [19:35] Scunizi: ok I will try to figth with it, but windows video maker makes it in 5sec (but I don't have windows) [19:35] argentino: do fdisk -l , then see for sdb [19:35] nytek_: will right now swift for is running twice taking 13.9 cpu each [19:35] Even if it was 64-bit, it should still be able to install. It just won't be able to perform very good. [19:35] very well* [19:36] voila, ive done that but i dont see anything sbd [19:36] Plugh: Any ideas? [19:36] Scunizi, what about Blender for that? I haven't tried it, but it may work... [19:36] mcurran: After I select the mirror, which version do I select? [19:36] Taha: Why wouldn't x64 perform well if it's supported [19:36] argentino: do fdisk -l , give us the output [19:36] nytek_: exaile is running like 4 times [19:36] hi, how can I use rsync to backup data from a windows computer, using wlan? [19:36] mcurran: If it wasn't I meant [19:36] mcurran: Since I have a 32-bit CPU [19:36] Kudi: have you tried to kill some of them via htop or ps -a? [19:36] Blender isn't the easiest of programs to use. It isn't meant to be just a video editor. [19:37] Plugh: er it isnt a video editor, is it? its an animation generator [19:37] I'd like to use SCIM rather than iBus in Karmic, but it doesn't seem to be working. I've selected scim as my input method in the language support options and restarted X, but the notification area icon isn't appearing and even if I select SCIM explicitly as my input method in an editbox, it doesn't activate. [19:37] maco: oops... i didn't notice it, when I upgraded to 9.10, i thought emacs would automatically be upgraded, but it wasn't... i will look into this... thanks [19:37] rip: it wasnt? [19:37] Guys somethings wron with my Ubuntu Software Center. Whenever i try to install anything it says, ""Requires installation of untrusted packages: The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." [19:37] What does "Starting remaining crypto disks..." even mean? [19:37] nytek_:when i kill 1 it ushhly kills all of them most of the time [19:37] Whats wrongg?? [19:37] farciarz84: yes.. I know.. I've also been looking for a replacement for windows video maker.. Lives has come the closest. http://lives.sourceforge.net/ [19:37] maco: No it isn't but it is supposed to handle some compositing [19:37] rip: umm thats a bug if you're still using 9.04's emacs...unless you manually compiled emacs before and thus have it in /usr/local/bin... [19:37] Taha: If you want x32 bit, then select "karmic \" and then "ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso" [19:38] mcurran: That's the one I currently have burned. 9.10 32-bit [19:38] For video editing, there is LiVES, Kino, and Cinelerra. [19:38] Guys somethings wron with my Ubuntu Software Center. Whenever i try to install anything it says, ""Requires installation of untrusted packages: The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." [19:38] Kudi: are all of the same processes using the same amount of your cpu? [19:38] mcurran: Oh wait [19:38] mcurran: What's the difference between alternate and original? [19:38] WOW [19:38] * Taha likes the silence. [19:38] (The reason that I'd like to switch from iBus to SCIM is that iBus seems to enjoy crashing a whole lot.) [19:38] nytek_: yes...but diffrent PID's [19:38] Taha: theres no "original" [19:38] Taha: the alternate cd is designed to work in situations where the desktop version fails [19:38] The alternate installer is text based and it installs the system first and then goes back and installs packages, it's for systems with less ram [19:39] Taha: it also supports additional options and allows you to pick what packages get installed [19:39] Taha: desktop is the live cd. its for basic installs. alternate is a text-based installer for people needing expert tools [19:39] Hmm... I have 4 GB RAM (if you are wondering). [19:39] Kudi: try to kill on of the programs that seem to havemultiple copies running and rerun the program. [19:39] Taha, what version of Ubuntu are you trying to use? Can you boot it as a live CD/DVD? [19:39] this is is a silly question but what would be the command to rename a file from .exe to .doc [19:39] 9.10. And live CD has the same issue. [19:39] ONE file [19:39] nytek_: same thing with /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemeon i see about 20 of them all taking .3 mem % [19:39] mdeonte: why would you do that? sending out email viruses? [19:39] mdeonte: mv old-file-name new-file-name [19:40] !cli | mdeonte [19:40] mdeonte: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [19:40] Taha: do you have encrypted hard disk of your windows ? [19:40] voila: No, I do not. How do I check [19:40] mdeonte sudo mv [19:40] Kudi: i have the same thing, i dont see a problem with it. i honestly dont know the specific reson. [19:40] anyone got any ideas on this? [19:40] Also, why is there only one operator? [19:40] got it. thanks erUSUL mcurran maco Plugh [19:40] mdeonte: note that that will only rename the file [19:40] Taha: i do googling then i see same mssge displays [19:40] nytek_: ok im jus being paranoid then [19:40] Kudi: plus, what kind of processor do you have? [19:41] Taha: operator? [19:41] mdeonte: it will not convery it from a windows executable to an office document [19:41] voila: Let me trying googling it [19:41] *convert [19:41] Taha: may be this can be the problem , or may be direction [19:41] Kudi: you might be, :). how is your computer running? [19:41] maco: Only FloodBot3 is an operator in this channel [19:41] ok [19:41] lstarnes: DUH [19:41] Taha: put your error there in google [19:41] Cuddles, didn't see your question in amongst all the activity here. [19:41] Scunizi: have you ever tried to make sth similiar with lives? [19:41] Taha: oh because ops dont sit around with their hats on. just op themselves as necessary [19:41] mdeonte: saying that in all caps not necessary [19:41] voila: I did. I found nothing on Google [19:41] :( [19:41] mdeonte Trying to trick e-mail into not seeing the virus, eh? [19:41] Taha: most of us have aliases to op, kick/ban/etc, and deop immediately (no, im not an op in this channel) [19:41] maco: Ah, kay. [19:42] maco: Hidden, eh? [19:42] mdeonte: I was just making sure that you knew. I am very sorry if I offended you [19:42] maco: there seems to be a discrepency here... probably a bug. I did not manually compile emacs anytime and have always been using official Ubuntu emacs package(s). This is the situation: I have the 'emacs' meta-package (in 'main') installed which is reported as 23.1, but it has as dependencies emacs22* in 'main', not emacs23 in 'universe'... So this seems to be a bug. Also, my next question is shouldn't emacs23 be in 'main', not 'univ [19:42] erse'? [19:42] Hi, Is there any problem if you format a drive to ntfs under an extended partition ? I'm seeing ntfs greyed out in the gparted format-to list [19:42] nytek_: normally cpu fluctuates between 5-30, around 75 when opening applications, ram is about 30% [19:42] Under applications, I see Wine. How do I completely remove it? Everything Ive tried not work. :( === Crazyguy_ is now known as Crazyguy [19:42] I want to use windows fonts in ubuntu 9.10... Can someone tell me what to do [19:42] Kudi: do you experience any lag or anything? [19:42] nytek_: sometimes.... [19:43] hi [19:43] nytek_: firefox freezes sometimes [19:43] Are there any other cool channels on a separate server maybe? Is there any other popular ubuntu channels on IRC [19:43] rip: oh thats interesting. well having "emacs" metapackage depend on emacs23 wouldve required moving emacs to universe....but hrm the version # shouldnt have been updated to 23 in that case [19:43] rip: the version number is a mouthful - it's 23.1+1-4ubuntu2+22.2+0ubuntu6 which indicates that it was switched back to emacs22 as the default [19:43] Kudi: how often? === h_ is now known as ubuntu9 [19:43] Windows fonts in Ubuntu: http://embraceubuntu.com/2007/09/16/installing-vista-fonts-in-ubuntu/ [19:43] ajmitch: oh wow thats long [19:43] ajmitch: rmadison didnt show all that O_O [19:44] Is there a command to join another channel from this line? like /join [19:44] maco: yeah, I remember the discussion when it happened :) [19:44] Under applications, I see Wine. How do I completely remove it? [19:44] ajmitch: ah [19:44] mcurran: /join #funstuff [19:44] mcurran: yes, /join is the command [19:44] mcurran: that's it [19:44] greezmunkey: i read that already.... Im talking about making the screen fonts look like the fonts in windows [19:44] I mean join another server from this line - sorry [19:44] mcurran, /join itself :) [19:44] mcurran: what irc client? [19:44] nytek_: uhhhmmm maybe twice a day [19:44] mcurran: it's either /newserver, /server, or /connect [19:44] mcurran: if irssi, /connect irc.server.com [19:44] mcurran: /server would disconnect you from the current one [19:44] if not irssi, install irssi ;) [19:45] ubuntu9, I guess your could run Windows, that'd do it...:/ [19:45] when in doubt - read the docs for your irc client of choice. :) [19:45] Kudi: when it freezes again, find out what your processor is doing [19:45] ODST, use synaptic to find the installed Wine packages and remove them. [19:45] Hmm... Does anyone know why Gparted won't let a drive in extended format get converted to NTFS ??? [19:45] nytek_: ushally around 100% [19:45] yadudoc: because thats not something you can in-place change? you need to reformat [19:46] ext2->ext3, sure, but... [19:46] yadudoc: a extended partiion holds LOGICAL partitions. make a logical partiton in th extended [19:46] ODST: you can also use apt-cache search "package name" [19:46] greezmunkey What font are u using [19:46] ooooo *that* meaning of extended [19:46] i just setup hostapd with this tutorial: http://blog.robin.smidsrod.no/index.php/2008/08/08/how_to_setup_an_atheros_based_access_poi , other devices now see the ssid i put up however they have no internet access (i do not know if this is because of IP problems or bridging problems) [19:46] Kudi: hm, what version of firefox do you have? [19:46] Dr_Willis, yes... i have done that... I have an exended partition currently FAT32 [19:46] good night all [19:47] ubuntu9, The ones installed, I can read them... === nephesh|sleep is now known as nephesh [19:47] greezmunkey how do I get that icon tool bar on the bottom like they have in mac os, and also get those cool computer cpu lines and stuff [19:47] Taha: good night and all the best , i hope you wil solve ur problem [19:47] maco, reformat.... is done... but the option for ntfs in the format list is greyed out... [19:47] voila where are you? [19:47] nytek_: swiftfox 3.5.5 [19:47] ajmitch: true. the versioning seems strange. [19:47] mcurran: going to sleep [19:47] Hi guys, After having installed wi7 (only to try it :d ) now ubuntu sees my whole disk as one big part of unallocated space :( both through another system and through the system that was on this hard drive :( [19:47] maco: yeah. so will it take to the next Ubuntu release (10.04) for emacs23 to be moved into 'main' replacing emacs22 as the default? [19:47] yadudoc: Hmm.. double check what fdisk -l says, you can have primary, extended, then logicals in the extended. you may want to pastebin the putput of fdisk -l for us [19:47] yadudoc: when you say extended, you mean as opposed to primary, or you mean the long name for the ext2/3/4 class of filesystems? [19:47] Kudi: i use firefox 3.0.14 and ive never had a problem with freezing [19:47] rip: i guess [19:47] mcurran: do you have some work from me ? lolz [19:47] ubuntu9, haven't looked into it... [19:48] ubuntu9: there are a lot of dock applications [19:48] It's still there [19:48] ubuntu9: avant-window-navigator and docky come to mind [19:48] maco not the ext formats... the usual extended fs under which u can have as many logical drives u want [19:48] under Applications, it shows a Folder and Wine [19:48] Dr_Willis, in a sec [19:48] ubuntu9, I guess I'm more concerned how it runs, rather than how it looks right now... [19:48] Does anyone know how to compile the linux sources from kernel.org? There is no debian folder in the source tree and I don't want to go through make oldconfig [19:48] yadudoc: ok then thats not fs, thats partition time [19:48] *type [19:48] ubuntu9: check out docky. its very useable. it has its own ppa repositories for the latest versions. [19:48] good night all [19:48] ubuntu9: some other docks are overkill and crash prone. docky works very well [19:48] yadudoc: you need to put the logical partitions in there [19:48] I need it completely gone [19:48] take care [19:49] goodnight voila [19:49] Hi guys, After having installed win 7 (only to try it :d ) now ubuntu sees my whole disk as one big part of unallocated space :( both through another system and through the system that was on this hard drive :( does any1 know how to over come this ? ? [19:49] ubuntu9: i've always had luck with cairo dock [19:49] maco, already have done that :) [19:49] can anyone help with audio control? [19:49] Thanks guys What about those things u put on ur toolbar and it shows cpu use and makes lines and stuff [19:50] yadudoc: so format the logical partitions not the extended one? [19:50] maco, i just swapped HDDs to see if it was the cd, or my bios, was neither- something with the HDD, with the swapped HDDb on the Live CD the partitioner CAN see the partitions. i don't get it, but i can fresh install 9.04, just not 9.10,,, just an update fyi, will wait for next LTS [19:50] Is there a difference between "make menuconfig" "make oldconfig" and "make xconfig"? [19:50] mcurran: yes [19:50] maco, Dr_Willis ----> http://pastebin.com/d2c31c484 [19:50] maco: hmmm.... I will have to install the 'universe' version for now, then. I hope I won't run into any package conflicts when 10.04 comes around... [19:50] kraitos: what about audio control? [19:50] hey Ubuntu dropped its ass on me I think it's the swap partion I got into the recovery console how can I configure my working machine in Ubuntu so my broken machine can use it's display? [19:50] SeaPhor: file bug? [19:50] lstarnes: What's the best one [19:50] and run gparted [19:50] mcurran: menuconfig uses a terminal-based config menu, xconfig is the samr but graphical [19:50] mcurran: oldconfig [19:50] mcurran: is old [19:50] ubuntu9: what toolbar? do you mean the dock you wanted or the panels? [19:50] mcurran: menuconfig is the most commonly used one [19:51] maco, hmm... i can't format the extended partition.... I'm on it.. My root /home is all on it... [19:51] yadudoc: what about it? [19:51] nytek, i had to remove pulse audio so i can hear pulse audio but know i can't controll audio sound. [19:51] yadudoc: you cant format extended parititions AT ALL [19:51] lstarnes do you know where I can get ncurses and ncurses-devel, so I can use menuconfig [19:51] yadudoc: period. doesnt happen [19:51] maco, ok [19:51] mcurran: apt-get [19:51] hi all, is there a way to turn off home directory encryption once it is already on? [19:51] yadudoc: you need to put a logical parittion in there, then format the logical parititon [19:51] kraitos: from the keyboard? or period? [19:51] ubuntu9, check here: http://www.gnomefiles.org/subcategory.php?sub_cat_id=154 [19:51] maco, i don't want it either [19:51] I'm connecting to my IMAP server (on ubuntu), using TLS to secure the connection. Problem is, the key I generated last week has the wrong hostname in, and I want to create a new one. I can't for the life of me remember where that is or what I used to generate it, and I can't find the instructions I followed in the first place. Anybody know where the certificate lives and how I generate a new one? [19:51] no [19:51] shumphrey: just [19:51] Noose [19:51] mcurran: try aptitude search ncurses [19:51] shumphrey: just 'ssh -x otherbox' and then run the app you want to appear locally [19:51] yadudoc: you want to delete the extended partition and its associated logical parittions and replace them with a primary partition? [19:52] shumphrey: why do you think the swap messed up? [19:52] maco, hmmm.... i already have a logical partition in there.... did u check the pastebin ? [19:52] maco, no... [19:52] yadudoc: you have a lot of logical parititons in there [19:52] i'm trying to add a program to auto start up. im in the 'Startup application preferences' and im in the command line box, do i need to add sudo in this somewhere as i just added "/home/xbmc/live.jaunty.sh" but it didnt seem to work [19:52] nytek, i can't control from the volume dock on keyboard and i don't have the icon either. [19:52] Hi guys! [19:52] yadudoc: 1 NTFS, 2 linux, 1 FAT32 [19:52] dr_willis: it says it can't mount some filesystems and it's waiting for swap [19:52] maco, can u see /dev/sda8 ? thats fat32 i want to convert it to ntfs... thats all i want [19:52] ZaNeIuM: running xbmc as root? thats scary. [19:52] In my room, i get about 40% internetz connection but i cant recieve any byte [19:52] kraitos: try running aumix or alsamixer inside terminal [19:52] shumphrey: sounds likeyou may be having deeper hard drive issues. [19:53] siema [19:53] libncurses-dev :) [19:53] yadudoc: im not sure gparted CAN convert vfat to ntfs. [19:53] hellow [19:53] can someone help me? Surround doesn't work here with an Ensoniq 1371 :\ ... and I'm *surely* running out of ideas! [19:53] maco, :) i kinda experiment a lot with filesystems :P and end up really screwed [19:53] Dr_Willis in not running as root? [19:53] nytek, i can control it from their but would i have to go there each time to change audio control? [19:53] :) [19:53] ZaNeIuM: if you run a script with sudo, that script is running as root. [19:53] windows works just fine [19:53] In my room, i get about 40% internetz connection but i cant recieve any byte [19:53] WHATS wrong? [19:53] Dr_Willis, thats ok.... i can simply delete it and start.... still the problem is that... i don't get the NTFS option in gparted at ALL [19:54] yadudoc, couldn't you do that experimenting on a usb volume? [19:54] yadudoc: you did install the ntfsprogs package to enable the ntfs features of gparted? [19:54] !info ntfsprogs [19:54] ntfsprogs (source: linux-ntfs): tools for doing neat things in NTFS partitions from Linux. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.0-1ubuntu3 (karmic), package size 280 kB, installed size 728 kB [19:54] oh, sorry i dont know too much about this. i just want to start this driver when i boot up [19:54] On this machine I've had the swap be corrupted, and the Linux Mint partion disappeared when I upgraded to kramic [19:54] right now i have to type in manualy everytime [19:54] ZaNeIuM: what 'driver' is getting ran by xbmc? [19:54] kraitos: you had to uninstall gnome-volume-control-pulse? [19:55] my wirelss 360 controller [19:55] greezmunkey, hmm..... had enough ... now my usb can't transfer any faster than 5mbps... [19:55] shumphrey: a corrupted swap or not swap at all is not a critical failure. Linux/ubuntu will happily boot/work without swap parition [19:55] Dr_Willis, yes I did....(30 mins back.) [19:55] nytek, are you asking or telling me to ? [19:55] sadface [19:55] kraitos: asking [19:55] heh Vikings are killin' Seattle :) [19:55] anyone know what I should be using to play mp4 files [19:55] Dr_Willis, even without that... i was able to partition /dev/sda1 to ntfs with no trouble at all [19:55] ZaNeIuM: if it needs to be ran by root. you can put the command in /etc/rc.local or make make a script that runs that command, and run it from the startup manager. [19:55] In my room I get about 40% wifi connection but i cant recieve 1 byte. Whats wrong? [19:56] nytek, ill be back in 10min [19:56] ZaNeIuM: or just make an icon for it on the desktop and double click :) [19:56] kraitos: ok [19:56] Dr_Willis, maco is there any limit on the number of logical ntfs partitions you can have under an extended partition ? [19:56] agh guys has anyone had a problem with a windoze virus preventing a computer from booting to a cd? trying to run ubuntu livecd to recover, to no success [19:56] im not running a desktop session im running an xbmc session [19:56] can that even happen? [19:56] yadudoc: Not sure.. ive seen a great many # of logicals. the wiki page may be needed [19:56] yadudoc: not that i know of [19:57] paschu, in a terminal try iwlist scanning, see if there are other AP's on the same channel as you, and their relative strength... [19:57] and ill have ko keyboad once i move the unit to the livingroom [19:57] ZaNeIuM: if you are not starting X at all.. and the thing needs to get auto ran. then the command should be in /etc/rc.local normally [19:57] Oh cmon! [19:57] paschu: greezmunkey means "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" [19:57] ZaNeIuM: how is xbmc displaying the videos then if not using X?

[19:58] yadudoc: was you doing somthing wrong? or what. :) [19:58] Dr_Willis, I never restarted gparted after i install ntfsprogs [19:58] maco: Done, what to do?

Seems I have reached my limit of free shipit CD's [20:00] Dr_Willis, can this ppl take more ?? [20:00] and ubuntu [20:00] LOGAN: shop.ubuntu.com? [20:00] greezmunkey: I scaned now the thins in the terminal. what to do? [20:00] hello, i try to enable my 12' touchscreen with ubuntu 9.10 as a new feature. but is is not working like that, the touchscreen module is usb based, from gtouch and after pluging the usb in i get a /dev/usb/hiddev0 [20:00] LOGAN: wait xubuntu? there arent any of those for shipit to begin with... [20:00] Ma: co checked there, they only sell per 5 [20:00] Dr_Willis, After my exams i'd love to spend time here... Is that ok? Do I need to do something in order to volunteer ? [20:01] LOGAN: so buy 5 and give 4 away to convert others [20:01] i mean kubuntu heh sorry [20:01] Theres other sites that sell ubuntu cd's also. [20:01] if i cat as root /dev/usb/hiddev0 and rubb the screen i get cray signs [20:01] yadudoc: send me $$$ ? :) or just hang out here a lot [20:01] paschu, are there other Ap's in the list? [20:01] does anyone know how to enable this device [20:01] greezmunkey: Aps? [20:01] paschu: access points [20:02] i checked around, I could only find copies, no originals [20:02] paschu, access points [20:02] paschu, you would see them as cells [20:02] How do one kill all running sudo sessions? [20:02] uhm, somehow i cant see them [20:02] Dr_Willis, hehe... Sure.. :) and one more thing... I got into trouble actually making space for arch... It seems unetbootin doesn't get arch booted properly [20:02] AH, 1 Cell [20:02] ukmuk: you may have to add a new input entry to the xorg.conf - but im just guessing. [20:02] yadudoc I had to pay $754.34 to hang out here. Sometimes they give a discount [20:03] paschu, is that the AP you are connecting to? [20:03] this is what i did with evtouch driver [20:03] yadudoc: arch is weird in many ways. I dont reccomend it for beginners.. (or anyone else really, but use it if you want) :) [20:03] greezmunkey: YES! [20:03] void_pointer, lolz so whom did u pay ?? are u guys at #ubuntu so very _gullible_ [20:03] paschu, so it's not a wifi issue then other than the weak signal... [20:04] Greetings [20:04] paschu, where is the AP related to your location? [20:04] Real easy to answer question, as I'm a total newb. How Exactly would I go about doing this: Add "Direct3D" key to HKEY_CURRENT_USR -> Software -> Wine [20:04] Add the following String Values to the Direct3D key: [20:04] Dr_Willis, well.. i've been using ubuntu for over a year... so i thought being a _CS_ student ... why not try something challenging [20:04] DirectDrawRenderer "opengl" [20:04] Nonpower2Mode "repack" [20:04] Its in the other side of the house [20:04] OffscreenRenderingMode "fbo" [20:04] PixelShaderMode "enabled" [20:04] googeek: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:06] paschu, ? [20:06] is smuxi a gui or terminal based irc client [20:06] googeek: for wine specific stuff you may want to ask in #winehq Theres wine config files you edit to do that stuff.

I guess you didn't do sorting algos yet [20:07] greezmunkey: The router is at the other side of the house [20:07] paschu, does your connection work better when you are closer to the AP? [20:08] greezmunkey: Yes [20:08] void_pointer, well... isn't the worst case O(n^2) [20:08] Dr_WIllis: thanks [20:08] whenever i go to install anything via command line, it will show every theme i have and say these were installed and are no longer needed but if i del them i cant use the theme [20:08] paschu, I would look to see if your AP is running in low TXmit power mode, or if you can turn it up at all. What type of AP is it? [20:09] brian_: what things? [20:09] greezmunkey: I have no idea. Im new at ubuntu [20:09] void_pointer, hmm... we did have a course on algos... but none of shell sorting in it... that comes only by 4th year [20:09] paschu, dude, what type of wireless router are you using? === Paraselene_____ is now known as Paraselene_ [20:10] paschu, wireless router = AP = network = etc [20:10] greezmunkey: O.o [20:10] yadudoc really? They wait till 4th year? Ok. We did it in 2nd :) .... anyway this is OT and Dr_Willis will get angry if we continue [20:10] greezmunkey: Ok, i have a fritzbox (german) [20:10] yadudoc and you don't want to see Dr_Willis when he is angry ... [20:10] :D [20:10] In menuconfig; does modularize mean let the computer decide to include it, or that it will be included but might not be used? [20:10] paschu, never heard of that one... [20:11] having problem with internect connection via terminal in ubuntu 9.04 error is http://fpaste.org/obPm/ [20:11] is there any chance to disable the damn grub2 blinking?

[20:11] Dr_Willis: there ya go http://pastebin.com/m716afb8c [20:11] now looking on ebay for CD of ubuntu/kubuntu [20:11] greezmunkey: Of course you didnt. Its german [20:11] LOGAN: it's free to download [20:11] LOGAN: having problem with internect connection via terminal in ubuntu 9.04 error is http://fpaste.org/obPm/ [20:11] Who else makes a 3 pane file manager in Gnome ? [20:12] i need one that sorts better [20:12] I wish there was an app. with the ability for hardware detection and completely trim down the linux kernel before installing. Like an automated menuconfig [20:12] paschu, then talk real nice to it in German, and maybe you can get it to turn up the power, or extend range, whatever it supports :) [20:12] brian_: those came from some theme repostory dident they? I think i saw the same issue. because the repo was set up for Jaunty, not karamic [20:12] hey, does anyone here use the e17 desktop? [20:12] I could use a hand.

[20:12] Duskao: speak [20:13] balau: yeah i have [20:13] i cant download original pressed cd not sleeve [20:13] paschu, of course you would have to somehow reciprocate with your wireless adapter if it supports it. [20:13] bluetooth headphones stopped appearing in sound preferences -> hardware, anyone know what the problem could be? deleted ~/.pulse and rebooted, no effect [20:13] brian_: you dont have to remove them. The package manager is just seeing that nothing 'depends' on them so it thinks they are not needed. You could proberly some how pin them with synaptic if you wanted [20:13] in environment & .bashrc & in apt.conf balau [20:14] LOGAN: sorry, what's stopping you download the CD ? [20:14] LOGAN: you going to 'collect them all' or somthing for a wall decoration project? [20:14] VCoolio I am having issues mounting my secondary HD.

[20:15] Duskao: don't know; why would this be an e17 issue? [20:15] usebees: what problems are you having? [20:15] When will ubuntu add the newer version of vuze to their repositories? [20:15] LOGAN: for collectables, just buy a copy [20:15] hey all total noob here just thought i'd say hi [20:15] whois Drunkpunk [20:16] nmudgal: thats very weird..

[20:18] hey, has anyone else had a problem with mp3s and 9.10? Basically, none of the music players are able to determine the song length. [20:18] nmudgal, I think that apt-get is trying to connect to a server with name "password@192.168.0.4" so I thought you wrongly put a @ sign before password. [20:18] chamillion: pyhon program.py [20:18] in sound preferences -> hardware my bluetooth headphones stopped showing up, anyone know what the problem could be? deleted ~/.pulse and rebooted with no effect [20:18] nmudgal: you either have a major typo in your /etc/hosts file, or somthing really messed with the dns server [20:18] I can't figure out why it would do that, it seems to have the correct packages for playing mp3s [20:19] chamillion: you run a python program the same way you run any program [20:19] Dr_Willis, i need your help. I"m trying to get Nautilus to sort a folder "_mydata" above "apps". Well it doesn't work like it does in Windows XP.

[20:19] my torrent program is malfunctioning. it's showing a file completely downloaded but the file isn't on my computer [20:19] crap [20:19] EvRide: rhythmbox and movie player [20:19] chamillion: find the directory that its in, chmod +x , and ./ to run it [20:19] nmudgal: check your /etc/hosts file - You should be able to ping that in.archive.ubuntu.com [20:19] Duskao: does this thread look like your issue? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1065843 [20:19] are you a diehard fan of those programs? [20:19] this is really tough because I work with the file system a ton and sort files that way [20:19] not at all [20:19] cause I hate them to be honest [20:19] ok [20:20] but it seems to be a problem with gstreamer, not those programs [20:20] coachz: #gnome guys may know a way. I dont sort my filenames with _'s :) [20:20] thanks === tonii_ is now known as tonii [20:20] coachz: and my wife does the same thing in windows.. :) [20:20] bbryant: lol well that may be, but I just suggest trying songbird, http://www.getsongbird.com/ === tiago is now known as Guest21580 [20:21] she's briliant !

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! [20:41] Hello here. Could someone explain me what can I do for pulseaudio doesn't take 113% of my processor ? [20:41] Dr_Willis: i am talking to u on irc not so dumb [20:41] (even if I'm not playing any sound) [20:42] nmudgal: you wouldent belive the things ive seen done by users befor... :) [20:42] emma: so as long as there's no .conf extension it won't be run? [20:42] Is there a way I can prevent my system to swap ? [20:42] is there a partition resizing utility to resize my partition so i can install windows on some free space [20:42] (upstart docs do not mention anything regarding disabling services) [20:43] nmudgal: good luck. I have to go to bed. I got to be at work in 6 hrs. :( [20:43] blue112: set swappiness [20:43] Dr_Willis: i am not new to ubuntu , but this is the first time i am getting so much sucked ! by such an issue :) [20:43] jrib, what is that ? [20:43] Dr_Willis, all of my bank account passwords are 55672, how do I put that in Evolution? [20:43] digitalfiz: gparted. a live usb/cd would be best [20:43] nytek, alright. i'm back know what were you asking again? [20:43] :) [20:43] vega-: i don't think it's the conf extension that makes it run either, i think some file some place is looking for a file by a certain name. If you change the name of the file it won't find it. [20:43] blue112: googling "swappiness" will tell you more than you ever wanted to know. It lets you configure how your system swaps [20:43] jrib, thanks for the info. [20:43] @hotmail.fr [20:44] dal zna neko srpski ovde [20:44] blue112: you set it in /etc/sysctl.conf [20:44] !rs | kocic [20:44] kocic: Molimo udjite u #ubuntu-rs za pomoc u vezi sa Ubuntuom na srpskom jeziku. [20:44] Anyway has a way to prevent pulseaudio taking between 95% and 115% of my CPU ? [20:44] 115% ! [20:44] need some ideas, have an usb tv tuner avermedia, it has linux drivers and i can get it to work as far as getting channels, the problem is i can not get any sound, it does not have a line out since it is a usb, tried with tvtime and mplayer same results all channels no sound any suggestions [20:45] I've downloaded and configured ventrilo server correctly. I just don't know were to place the install dir. What's the default location for 3rdparty apps? [20:45] there is a few things i need help with please [20:45] emma: ok will try, thanks [20:45] vega-, if you want to disable hwclock "sudo mv /etc/init/hwclock.conf /etc/init/hwclock.conf.disabled" SHOULD work [20:45] So no one can help me here at #ubunut [20:45] blue112: for testing: kill it - them (there are two processes) [20:46] can't believe upstart docs don't say a single word about how to disable a service, i mean isn't it pretty basic stuff= [20:46] hi, i am wondering how i can flush my ram, after big progs like virtual machine, the ram stays ful and the machine slows down, and i have 4 gigs of ram! and how come everyone on the sight says you dont have to, instead of actually asnwering the question? that's not up to the other person whether i have to or not, just help me please...? [20:46] Where is the go to place for scripts? seems like xbmcscripts and xbmczone are both down... wtf? Were they given legal orders to be taken down? [20:46] vega-: i think you should not try unless you aren't afraid of breaking things. I barely saw the issue. I was just answering "how can you completely disable a script'. It seems to me, one way, is to change it's name. That way, at least, you can change it back and things will work again. But be careful! [20:46] first thing is how good is ubuntu notebook remix [20:46] nmudgal: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [20:46] guntbert, ok, I've killed them, now it's pretty cool. I'm trying playing some sounds. [20:47] hylian: I'm sure you are mistaken, did you see http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ ? [20:47] jrib: i was just doing that since half an hour , Dr_Willis left me in the middle [20:47] emma: this is just a script that syncs the system time to bios during shutdown, so nothing serious [20:47] Banshee crashed since I've killed them >_< === Ajraddatz is now known as Ajr|away [20:47] Oh, no, I've quit it before. [20:47] jrib: http://fpaste.org/qfuv/ this is my problem [20:47] nmudgal: most people (including me) have absolutely no idea if they cannot help you or not because we don't know what you need help with [20:47] how to list all related packages to "ssh" with apt-get ? === alex__ is now known as nomaS [20:47] !away > Ajr|away [20:47] Ajr|away, please see my private message [20:48] thomas_newbie__: apt-cache search ssh I suppose... why? [20:48] jrib: wanna install sshd [20:48] where can i get a program to dj from??? [20:48] guntbert, no i am not mistaken, it's seriously more slow. Whether i am or not though, can someone just please give me a straight answer on this, and if it can't be done just say so? thank you! [20:48] thomas_newbie__: install openssh-server [20:48] thanks [20:48] Does someone know what is update-apt-xapi ? [20:48] hylian: did you see the page I mentioned? [20:48] jrib: i like to install packages via terminal & it is not possible due to error at http://fpaste.org/qfuv/ [20:48] thomas_newbie__: so you don't know anything about "password@192.168.0.4"? [20:49] I have dual boot 9.10 and windows, anyone know how to increase the size of my linux partition without reinstalling ubuntu? [20:49] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: there are a couple good choices to try, internet dj console might be good [20:49] nmudgal: so you don't know anything about "password@192.168.0.4"? [20:49] anyone know how I can make virtualbox look for installed appliances somewhere other than ~/.virtualbox ? [20:49] thomas_newbie__: (ignore my last) [20:49] Swian: try gparted [20:49] Hello. I just installed 9.10, updates, and then got the NVIDIA drivers. Now, startx does not work: it drops me to a black screen and I can't switch back to a tty. have examined the X.org log, and the only irregularity is the last line: ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log. Please help. [20:49] seems the situation has not changed in a year .. . http://michael.thegrebs.com/2008/08/18/no-upstart-docs-asshole-canonical-employees-fail/ [20:49] Confuzius: try #vbox [20:49] Swain: gparted. Live USB/cd is best [20:49] thanks skpl [20:49] jrib: omg ubuntu doesn't have rpm? [20:49] Swian, use gparted [20:49] I have tried to dpkg-reconfigure the nvidia-185 drivers to no avail. [20:49] thomas_newbie__, you can convert them with alien [20:49] Swian: boot the livecd and use that to resize partitions [20:49] I wanna check if I already have it...says im at latest version [20:49] heh Linuxatemyram, pretty cool! [20:49] Swian I am not sure but gparted should be able to to do it for you [20:49] thomas_newbie__: rpm is for redhat, fedora, suse, and mandriva [20:49] !info ssh | thomas_newbie__: [20:50] thomas_newbie__:: ssh (source: openssh): secure shell client and server (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 1:5.1p1-6ubuntu2 (karmic), package size 1 kB, installed size 44 kB [20:50] jrib: these are the password & proxy server ip we use [20:50] thomas_newbie__: ubuntu uses apt... avoid alien. Use the ubuntu repositories for your software [20:50] mogglenorph, in a terminal type "sudo nvidia-configure" that should stick you with a default nvidia xorg.conf then reboot and see if it works [20:50] thanks all any links to gparted usage? [20:50] thomas_newbie__: and while blue112 mentioned alien, be warned that it doesnt always work [20:50] !gparted | [20:50] : gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [20:50] nmudgal: you wish to use the proxy now? [20:50] Yes, alien isn't a sure solution, it's slow and sometime it doesn't work. [20:51] so how would I query a certain package? [20:51] like rpm -q package [20:51] jrib: i have to use i can't help with it [20:51] !apt | thomas_newbie__ [20:51] thomas_newbie__: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [20:51] what are the advantages of ubuntu notebook remix [20:51] where is menu.lst in 9.10? [20:51] guntbert, yes i did. but here's the thing i have 3 apps, when they run, it goes from plenty of ram to almost none, and then everything is slow, i rebbot, everything is fast again. i have had 3 people now that instead of telling me how to empty the ram, have told me "it just looks full, but it's fine" well, you flat btire just looks flat, you can drive on it, really! please just help me! thank you. [20:51] thanks all [20:51] nmudgal: how did you set it up? [20:51] jrib: becuase it is our college server i am using & that use squid proxy server [20:51] JoeSomebody, use locale ? [20:51] locate* [20:51] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: think it includes some drivers that work better with common netbook hardware [20:51] !grub2 | JoeSomebody [20:51] JoeSomebody: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [20:52] Hello, I get an error when i try to update... [20:52] grub2 had to come along right when I had finally figured out grub =\ [20:52] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: the window manager is tuned for small screens, and the installer is set up to go on usb flash instead of optical [20:52] ok [20:52] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69, the hardware support of UNR and regular Ubuntu are the SAME [20:52] hello [20:52] W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2ED6BB6042C24D89 [20:52] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: that's about it... everything else is the same [20:52] 3o3 med+ our server fast pls [20:52] Confuzius: Done. Same problem as before: no nvidia logo, and a blank screen. And I can't switch back to the TTY or kill x with ctrl-atl-backspace. [20:52] does anyone have a command or app that cleans ubuntu's memory? (and yes it actually is neccessary, and really is a problem) [20:52] lengend: go to your ppa's page and add the signature there [20:53] jrib: does that page load fo ryou? [20:53] hylian: umm...reboot? that clears your memory [20:53] jrib, what is the "better" value for swappiness if I have a *really* slow hard drive and a small ram capacity (1go) ? [20:53] hylian: what do you mean by clean? [20:53] Confuzius, I just did an install that mentioned that Grub2 is't stable, and suggested to use Grub for production installs! [20:53] yeah i am kinda new to linux but i like it better than stinky old windows and just want it to work for what i need is all [20:53] * julio3 wonders how linux/ubuntu is going to make it when a person can't even get a tv tuner toworks, simple needs, simple things made to be so complicated [20:53] jrib: i am still getting that error [20:53] thomas_newbie__: the server seems to be timing out at the moment... [20:53] nmudgal: I didn't ask you to do anything so I don't know what you did [20:53] julio3: i think your definition of "simple needs" is different than mine ;) [20:53] ye === Nitru_PrkRst is now known as Nitrus [20:53] how do i add it? [20:53] maco, why should i reboot every time my machine's ram flls up and my system sows down, thats not a solution. [20:53] julio3: for example, i dont consider tv tuners "simple" [20:53] The computer is not entirely dead, though; I can restart with ctrl-alt-delete. [20:54] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: netbook remix is probably a good choice, what netbook do you have? [20:54] what is i have a external cd rom drive can i use it to install unr [20:54] hylian: close whatever's using the memory? [20:54] jrib: so suggest something as solutions.. [20:54] jrib, how would i do that? [20:54] mikechelen, my memory gets filled up by several programs, and the whole system comes to a crawl [20:54] hylian: rebooting is the only thing that will totally blank all the memory though [20:54] i can't control audio volume after removing pulse audio, can anyone help? [20:54] hylian: I don't expect to find such a tool - as "everybody knows" that it is not needed - sorry [20:54] maco: it does have linux drivers and it works, well kind of i believe pulse audio is messing things up [20:54] hylian: what about closing those programs? [20:54] maco, i did that. the memory is still filled. [20:54] nmudgal: well I asked you a question and am waiting for you to answer it. You said "I am *still* getting the error" so I assume you did something and tried again. What did you do? [20:54] MikeChelen hp mini 1035NR [20:54] hylian: you mean it refilled because you opened a bunch of large apps again? [20:55] hylian: have you considered that you simply need more memory if you want to run that many large applications? [20:55] lengend: did you visit the ppa's page on launchpad? [20:55] yeah i did sudo apt-get update & the same error [20:55] one moment looking now jrib [20:55] gunthbert, thanhk you for helping me, but it IS needed. this system goes from a 4.8ghz dual core with 4 gigs of ram, to my 486 whenever i use 3 heavy hitters ram wise... [20:55] hylian: for example, i simply could not get by on 512MB of RAM, since Firefox requires at least 600 [20:55] jrib: i tried changing my ips if issue resolves or not but nothing happen' [20:56] maco, i only run one of those at a time, never more than one at a time. [20:56] regardless how do we expect for the populous to take Linux seriously when it takes over a week of tweaking and research to get a tv tuner to work [20:56] thomas_newbie__: apt-cache search PACKAGE to search for a package. apt-get install PACKAGE to install a package. Do you want to know anything else? [20:56] maco, thats the other ting, io have 4 gigs of ram [20:56] nmudgal: ok. How are you setting the proxy exactly? [20:56] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: looks like either UNR or vanilla ubuntu can work on that, probably either is a fine choice [20:56] Is the load average revelant to see how much my computer is lagging ? [20:56] julio3: we need to convince hardware manufacturers to provide working in-kernel drivers [20:57] julio3: are you intending to write to the manufacturer with that request? [20:57] mikechelen, i do close the programs, but my memory stays full, and my system stays ridiulously slow [20:57] hylian: about what apps are we talking? and how do you measure your free/used RAM? [20:57] jrib: like export "http_proxy=http://username:passwd@proxyserverip:portno"/ [20:57] i can't control audio volume after removing pulse audio, can anyone help? [20:57] hylian: are you remembering to subtract the cached mem from the used total? [20:57] Does anyone know if there is more information on how well ubuntu works on macbooks? I found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook5-2/Karmic But there is alot of stuff untested and unknown? anyone know a better source? [20:57] kraitos: use alsamixer [20:57] kraitos: the gui thing is only for pulseaudio [20:57] hylian: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [20:57] nmudgal: but in your error it seems you just put "passwd@proxy_ip" [20:57] guntbert, mostly virtualbox. there are 2 others, but they are games and I can live without them, [20:58] MieChelen i am dling unr now but i don't have a flash drive but i do have a external dvd/r drive will that work if i can get the iso to the disc [20:58] jrib: well im just having some trouble starting/installing openssh-server [20:58] hylian: and what VMs in VBox? [20:58] What is the "better" value for swappiness if I have a *really* slow hard drive and a small ram capacity (1go) ? [20:58] great, a bug adressing "disable upstart script" has been reported almost 3 years ago, maybe it will come soon... [20:58] yeah that is what not understandale i put what i stated in bash.bashrc [20:58] maco, how do i get a gui control tho. i really would like one for the desktop. [20:58] thomas_newbie__: just "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" [20:58] lengend, see http://pastebin.com/d7c6ac676 if you are using 9.04 or less, if you're using 9.10 what PPA are you using? [20:58] MikeChelen i am dling unr now but i don't have a flash drive but i do have a external dvd/r drive will that work if i can get the iso to the disc [20:58] https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/94065 [20:58] ok, the system has the ability to empty ram. it does so with automation when a program is no longer in use, so i know it can do it. how do i initaite a manual version of this? [20:58] maco: i have a working driver, well kind of, i can get sound if i use an OTA pure digital source, if i use a coax cable from comcast service meaning analogue i only get picture no sound, i been tweaking for a week and believe pulse audio to be the culprit, however if i try to uninstall pulse audio it insist on uninstalling the gnome-desktop wtf over [20:58] blue112: 10 is always mentioned as a sensible option [20:59] I#m seeing really poor performance in Karmic (vs Jaunyt) for openGL things like bzflag. High CPU, juddery graphics. How to troubleshoot? [20:59] ZykoticK9, i'm using 9.10 [20:59] kraitos: i dont know that you can. gnome is very into pulseaudio. kmix from kde would work [20:59] jrib: openssh-server is already the newest version. [20:59] nmudgal: what is the output of "echo $http_proxy" in the same shell you ran apt-get update? [20:59] julio3: well file a bug [20:59] hylian: are the programs definitely closed, or maybe just frozen? try command line "top" or "htop" to see more details [20:59] thomas_newbie__: so what is the issue? [20:59] Hi all [20:59] guntbert, well, actually, that's the strange part about it, whether i run damn small linux or vista ultimate bloatware, it does tha same thing.. [20:59] blue112: wait, small ram, don't know then [20:59] lengend, what ppa are you trying to add (FYI thouse directions SHOULD still work) [20:59] VCoolio, what do you mean by "sensible" ? [20:59] whats the command to generate a generic xorg.conf? [20:59] Arf. [20:59] I forgot :( [20:59] lengend, in channel man [20:59] jrib: ok to start it [20:59] maco, i already tryed kmix it didn't show up on the desktop panel. and i couldn't find it anywere else [20:59] thomas_newbie__: it is already started [21:00] mikechelen, actually, i thought so to, and that was the case for one of my video games, but that's not the case for virtualbox [21:00] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: external cd should be fine, it could be handy to get a flash drive in the future though [21:00] blue112: meaning 60 being default if people change it they most of the time don't want to move stuff to swap, but stay in memory for speed, so 10 is the alternative [21:00] jrib: http://nitin:@level19@192.168.0.4:3128/ [21:00] kraitos: kmix would go in the notification area if run in gnome, i think [21:00] I need to get a generic xorg.conf [21:00] How I do dis :O [21:00] MikeChelen also i backup movies how easy is it to do on unr [21:00] nmudgal: you have an '@' in the password? [21:00] jrib: really? how do i check status? like 'service openssh-server status' [21:00] sorry [21:00] thomas_newbie__: that doesn't exist in debian/ubuntu [21:01] hylian: I run (on my NB with 3GB) two or three VMs with 800MB each [21:01] so how would i add those commands? [21:01] jrib: yeah [21:01] Best util for managing and viewing system logs? Opinions anyone? [21:01] VCoolio, I see. When my computer swaps, load average goes from 0.50 to 4-5... And makes everything lags, from mouse moves to music player :/ [21:01] nmudgal: are you able to change it to test if that is the issue? [21:01] hylian: does the virtualbox process still exist? sometimes a crashed program will not close down properly [21:01] !best | Nitrus [21:01] Nitrus: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[21:01] Hey all - brand new 9.10 install, and I can't get exim to start. the init scripts give no output, and the daemon doesn't start when running them. How would i troubleshoot further? [21:01] oh lol..... jrib do you suggest I get something other than ubuntu for server linux ? [21:01] jrib: no i can't [21:01] how to i keep my name from changing to guest on this thing [21:01] ZykoticK9, i get this gpg: WARNING: nothing exported [21:01] gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. === william is now known as Guest4325 [21:01] thomas_newbie__: nope, ubuntu works great as a server [21:01] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: yes it should be, UNR can use all the regular ubuntu software, the interface is just tweaked to be more comfortable on small screens [21:01] Thank you ubott, I think the hoomans knew what I meant [21:02] blue112: ok, then try 10, it's easily undone [21:02] how to i keep my name from changing to guest on this thing === Ajr|away is now known as Ajraddatz [21:02] nmudgal: try escaping the @. Also are you able to use the proxy in other programs okay? [21:02] mikechelen, it does hang around, but then i kill it. my problem still persists, and actually, it hasnt done the whole "hung process" thing in a while now, it's been god since 9.10 actually.

[21:03] lengend, this looks like it's the compiz ppa so in 9.10 you should be able to run "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:compiz" to get the keys as well. [21:03] blue112: maybe run something like conky to monitor mem usage and temp to prevent hardware breakage, at least keep an eye open [21:03] hylian: maybe it was a bug with vbox that was since fixed? if the process is truly terminated, it shouldn't use any memory [21:03] ok gentleman, just tell me it can't be done, and ill be happy with that, or if it can be done, give me the command, please? but either way, help me?

[21:04] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: there are other audio programs that might be good too, you can browse through them in the software center, audacity and ardour for example are well regarded [21:05] ZykoticK9, seemed to work, thanks [21:05] VCoolio, ok, then I'll change the number and i'll see at next reboot what happens, thanks. [21:05] mikechelen, well thanx for helping me dude, i got my answer. maybe ill remove vb and do a fresh install, couldn't hurt [21:05] nmudgal: did escaping the '@' produce different results? [21:05] thomas_newbie__: ubuntu server has no desktop interface by default, it is command line only. you can accomplish sort of the same thing by removing packages from ubuntu desktop, but it may be easier to do a fresh install [21:05] no [21:06] guntbert, thanx for the info... i think im gonna reinstall or update vb, since that's my main problem [21:06] nmudgal: how did you escape it? [21:06] hylian: what version of VB are you using? [21:06] MikeChelen i thought audacity was only for recording [21:06] So, I tried downgrading to the 173 nvidia drivers: same issue, except this time I get an nvidia logo flash before it goes to the black screen. [21:06] means i tried using different username & password [21:06] ohh MikeChelen no i'd like to still have a GUI for web access [21:06] nmudgal: can you be less vague? [21:06] MikeChelen that is all i ever used it for or could get it to work for [21:06] hylian: if it's still having problems then a fresh install would at least help for troubleshooting, though if it is working okay now then maybe leave it alone :) [21:06] jrib: which has been allotedto other guys [21:06] guntbert, vb is i think 3.0.10 === bud is now known as Guest26850 [21:07] help i restarted now my sound doesnt work.......... Last thing I uninstalled was pulse audio [21:07] jrib: means?what u want to say [21:07] what do i doooooooo [21:07] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: it's for editing as well, im not sure if it is exactly what you are looking for though [21:07] mkechelen, thanx man. i apprecaite it [21:07] hylian: thats almost recent... [21:07] guntbert, i am updating as we speak, so who knows, thanx! [21:07] I'm trying to ssh to a MAC on my wireless network but it says connection refused port 22 - any ideas [21:07] hylian: Good luck :-) [21:07] I think I'm starting to understand how thhis works, If I have a module loaded, but don't use it (like bluetooth) it really dosen't make an impact on the resources my systems uses, is that correct? [21:08] nmudgal: does the other username/password combination contain an '@'? [21:08] thomas_newbie__: yeah if someone is going to use the system as a desktop pc, then standard ubuntu is probably the best option, you could try xubuntu or crunchbang too which use less system resources [21:08] MikeChelen looking to be able to stream music over the web just like u would with sams broadcaster [21:08] greezmun1ey: if its loaded, its in memory [21:08] I know the root password for the MAC but I don't know how to include that when trying to connect [21:08] i am newbie to ubuntu. currently using ubuntu . I have installed LAMP server in ubuntu by Symantic package manager. How Unable To Start and Stop Services Provided. What Should I do? [21:08] jrib: the other guy doesnot contain that [21:08] greezmun1ey: if you lack the hardware, itll refuse to load [21:08] mikechelen, thanx for all the good advice, im updating to 3.0.12 of vb, maybe that'll help [21:08] i'm using karmic and have emacs 22 and 23 installed. i see open in emacs 22 (x11), emacs 22 (client) and emacs 23 in the context menu in the file browser, but no emacs 23 (client) -- is there an easy way to get emacsclient integration into the gnome file browser for emacs23? [21:08] hi [21:08] that is without @ in password, jrib [21:08] nmudgal: set http_proxy to some other random ip. Does the error change in apt-get update? [21:08] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: audacity does basic audio editing like switching between tracks, don't think it works live though so might not help for dj'ing [21:09] sorry,i am newbie to ubuntu. currently using ubuntu . I have installed LAMP server in ubuntu by Symantic package manager. I Am Unable To Start and Stop Services Provided. What Should I do? [21:09] MY SOUND IS DISABLEDDD [21:09] HELPP [21:09] tem algum brasileiro ? [21:09] bye all, wish me luck! [21:09] !br | lucas-ubuntu [21:09] lucas-ubuntu: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [21:09] siema [21:09] how can i uninstall pulse audio without messing up gnome? [21:09] anyone know how to use ssh or ftp [21:09] Vibhor: what service are you trying to start? [21:09] MikeChelen: I was previously using fedora 10 for my server stuff....wonder if Ubuntu will be better...well its actually Kubuntu lol [21:10] mcurran: someone probably knows, yeah. Better to just ask your real question [21:10] mcurran: ssh user@example.com [21:10] mikechelen: actually i am not getting how to see status and starty them. any of them [21:10] MikeChelen that is what i need is somethting for live djing cuz i dj for a internet radio station [21:10] maco, I don't use bluetooth, and want it not to load, all I have found is to blacklist (something_usb, I can look that up again), but I do use other usb devices, I just don't want to completely disable usb! [21:10] hello [21:10] thomas_newbie__: all the server software can be installed on ubuntu desktop too, for production servers the command-line edition is more efficient [21:10] jrib: no just tried the same error [21:10] Where I can buy a cd of Ubuntu Studio? [21:11] nmudgal: can you pastebin what you are doing? That's a bit weird [21:11] greezmun1ey: there are several _usb modules. i believe the one you want to disable is btusb [21:11] MikeChelen: apache,sql [21:11] MikeChelen: k thanks [21:11] jrib: ok [21:11] whats the command to generate a generic xorg.conf? [21:11] maco, I get it, ok - I'll look that up. That gives me more confidence! :) [21:11] I forgot :( [21:11] Vibhor: they should all start automatically, you can doing it manually like "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start" [21:11] alsamixergui i googled this suppose to work instead of pulse audio [21:11] how can i uninstall pulse audio without messing up gnome? [21:12] nmudgal: don't run your "apt-get update" with sudo since you are root anyway === bud is now known as Guest27708 [21:12] I did - I'm trying to ssh to a MAC on my wireless network and it won't work "ssh " and "ssh root@Macintosh" doesn't work either [21:12] do you have a router involved? [21:12] yes [21:12] MikeChelen: hmm... and how can i check their running status [21:12] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: been happy using internet dj console for that in the past, although there might be other good options too [21:13] mcurran: can you "ssh root@localhost" on the mac itself? [21:13] mcurran, maybe root won't answer, if I was root I wouldn't either! [21:13] Vibhor: "pgrep apache2"? [21:13] I don't know, haven't tried yet [21:13] I need to get a generic xorg.conf\ [21:13] MikeChelen: thanks [21:13] RPG_Master: why? [21:13] mcurran: sometimes root login over ssh is disabled, try your regular user [21:14] MikeChelen, :) [21:14] why do you need someone to accept the connection with ssh [21:14] MikeChelen that is what i dled now i just have to figure out how to install it LOL i am learning linux still [21:14] jrib: I need to have one that I can edit so I can enable the graphics card in this Dell Mini 10 [21:14] RPG_Master: what card? [21:14] Has anyone ever tried to ssh onto their cable boxes (STB's) [21:14] do you guys know of other programs that gather radio stations in one place like streamtuner or the shoutcast feature of amarok? [21:14] Vibhor: the full lamp stack should get run automatically at system start, unless something bad happens :) [21:15] hi. Got Ubuntu 9.10 installed. Wireless works OK but sometimes disconnects and the wireless icon dissapears top right. Reboot seems to fix it, but thats the Windows Way! How can I restart the wireless system via command line? [21:15] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: sudo aptitude install idjc [21:15] wow thats kind of annoying, im reading that in ubuntu on command line to start a server you must actually type the absolute path to the service...... ./etc/init.d/name [21:15] !vino [21:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about vino === Gizmo_e_Great is now known as Gizmo_the_Great [21:15] MikeChelen: Ohk [21:15] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: how did you download it? use the software center and it will be downloaded & installed in one step [21:15] thomas_newbie__: no, you can "sudo service NAME_OF_SERVICE start" [21:15] Gizmo_e_Great: try using wicd. [21:15] thomas_newbie__: you can use the service command just like in red hat [21:15] jrib: you told me that didn't exist :D [21:15] hmmm... no-one would happen to know of any software for ubuntu for salvaging data from harddrives? [21:15] Gizmo_the_Great, perhaps man iwconfig may help [21:15] thomas_newbie__: though really, since ubuntu uses upstart now (as does fedora), it could just be "sudo start SERVICENAME" [21:15] thomas_newbie__: I told you "status" didn't exsit [21:15] ooh [21:15] how can i uninstall pulse audio without messing up gnome? [21:15] MikeChelen where is software center [21:16] i don't have wireless, so can't really help directly, [21:16] I am connected to Internet via GPRS(wvdial). Whenever I create a wireless network, I am unable to use that internet. [21:16] thomas_newbie__: i think its "sudo start" at least. i know "sudo stop" exists [21:16] jrib: here is the link http://fpaste.org/yCOk/ [21:16] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: bottom of the Applications menu [21:16] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: open Synaptic package manager and search for idjc, then check the box and click apply [21:16] 2 [21:16] Ignatius, check out TestDisk & PhotoRec http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [21:16] does anybody have had problems with python-numpy when updating to karmic? [21:17] ZykoticK9: thanks :) [21:17] should i install ubuntu 9.10 or stick with the former version for now [21:17] sileni: you should install 9.10 on the other partition or disk and try it first [21:17] sileni: good question, if you want to have a nice log in screen, or more screen savers by default, stay with 9.04 [21:17] sileni, unless you have a compelling reason (ie hardward support) i'd stick to 9.04 [21:18] nmudgal: ok. Here is what I want you to do: in your terminal, type « export http_proxy=NEW_USERNAME:NEW_PASSWORD@PROXY », then type « apt-get update ». replace the caps with the appropriate data of course [21:18] MikeChelen ok got it add/remove LOL [21:18] ok thank you for the honest answers guys [21:18] jrib: ok [21:18] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: what version of ubuntu are you using? that sounds like 9.04 [21:18] I've had sound issues ever since updating to 9.10. Crackly, and/or bits of the audio repeating a few times. This applies for native linux games (netpanzer, vendetta online, etc.) WINE games (empire earth II) and occasionally system sounds and stuff playing from a web browser. Games don't do it 100% of the time. The issue applies to my USB sound card, and integrated sound card. [21:18] I am connected to Internet via GPRS(wvdial). Whenever I create a wireless network, I am unable to use that internet. [21:18] nmudgal: and then pastebin [21:18] jrib: ok [21:19] hello [21:19] Having problems with installing libgmp3 in 9.10. Not in the repos. What is the best thing too do? [21:19] MikeChelen i dunno all i know is it says ultimate 2.0 [21:19] I am connected to Internet via GPRS(wvdial). Whenever I create a wireless network, I am unable to use that internet. But now, if I setup a proxy server(squid) and set my browser to use it, my browsing works but not other protocols [21:19] smik, are you using NetworkManager? [21:19] my bluetooth headphones stopped appearing in sound preferences -> hardware, anyone know what the problem could be? deleted ~/.pulse and rebooted with no effect [21:19] Bob_Dole, i've experienced similar sound issues with games on 9.10 as well... [21:19] so i guess there is no way to juyt use alsa instead of pulse audio on 9.10 :( [21:19] im playin a game and accidentally minimized it, but now i cant find it anymore. i can hear the sound still playing. anyone know how i can find it? stupid question i know [21:19] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: hmm, never heard of that, where did you download it from? [21:19] MikeChelen 8.10 [21:19] Bilz: alt+tab? [21:20] MikeChelen, tried it [21:20] Hi, I'm trying to setup my 9.10 box to run a vnc server so I can connect to it remotely. Can anyone help or point me towards a working guide? [21:20] MikeChelen, not in the list [21:20] grr man page for 'service' ? [21:20] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: open a terminal and type lsb_release -a [21:20] greezmun1ey, Yes [21:20] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: ah ok that is few versions old [21:20] ZykoticK9, It's very annoying, and I'm pondering finding a not-so-broken-stable-release distro to switch to. [21:20] greezmun1ey, I am on 9.04 [21:20] Every one of the words I type in Pidgin is underlined in red, but they are spelled correctly and are fine in OOo. Can someone help me? [21:20] jrib: here is http://fpaste.org/kUAi/ [21:20] Dantonic: Check http://help.ubuntu.com [21:21] Bilz: only option might be to terminate the process and restart [21:21] MikeChelen yeah i am in the process of dling unr [21:21] zopiac: might try asking in #pidgin as well [21:21] smik, I think the default in NM is to allow only one connection at a time, but via command line, you can bring up more. I run into the same issue with wicd, but sudo ifup, and sudo ifdown when needed seems to work. [21:22] is there a way I can download google chrome for kubuntu? [21:22] MikeChelen: ah, didnt think pidgin had a channel. will do [21:22] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: that command will return the version of ubuntu you are running. Ultimate 2.0 sounds like some derivative ( probably not supported by Ubuntu ) [21:22] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: cool, then it will have the very latest versions of the software [21:22] MikeChelen i got this version from ubuntu website about a yr ago just never really played with it [21:23] DeathMetalDean, "google chrome" isn't available for linux yet -- but chromium (the open source version) is - there is a daily ppa build repo out there [21:23] nmudgal: what is in your /etc/apt/apt.conf ? [21:23] there's a chrome beta i have it [21:23] ZykoticK9: no, it is avalable for linux [21:23] greezmun1ey, Can you point out to an article which can help me doing stuff from command line? [21:23] ZykoticK9, that's very much :) [21:23] ZykoticK9: but they're unstable builds [21:23] lstarnes, chromium, not chrome [21:23] Acquire::http::proxy "http://192.168.0.4:3128/"; jrib [21:23] ZykoticK9: no, chrome too [21:23] IdleOne i got this version from ubuntu website about a yr ago just never really played with it [21:23] ktoś tu klika pa polsku?? [21:23] !pl [21:23] Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [21:24] lstarnes, see first sentence of http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/linux.html [21:24] if i'm running ubuntu 7.04 do I have to do a CD re-install to 9.9 or can i just apt-get upgrade because its giving me 404 not found [21:24] Chromium is the project, Chrome is the browser. The version I have is labelled as Chrome and uses the Chrome logo, I got it from google, not a ppa. [21:24] quick question. I am going to use an ubuntu box for http/ssh tunneling only (maybe a simple fileshare) what should i use? Server or desktop? [21:24] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: you can either install a fresh copy, or use the system update to upgrade the current install [21:24] ZykoticK9: you're looking in the wrong place [21:24] lstarnes, i'm sure your correct, there is probably a development version available - but not really for desktop consumption [21:24] thomas_newbie__: you can't directly upgrade from 7.04 to 9.10 [21:24] thomas_newbie__, 7.04 is no longer supported....you may be able to do it, but running off a cd is probably gonna be easier [21:24] thomas_newbie__: you have to go through each version untill you get it [21:25] lexvegas: server if you do not need a gui [21:25] thomas_newbie__: also you might find that you can't just do that anymore [21:25] ZykoticK9: the version that I have is stable enough [21:25] smik, your Internet is up now I assume... [21:25] <_u41458> i am looking for a html/xml editor. what's recommended ? [21:25] Arabus okay thanks [21:25] jrib: ? [21:25] MikeChelen when i try to update it tells me that it only works with feisty [21:25] lexvegas: yeah might as well use server if you don't need a full desktop [21:25] _u41458, vi [21:25] _u41458: kompozer === magical_trevsky is now known as magical [21:25] lstarnes, chromium is working for me? [21:25] thanks all. off to go install [21:25] hoa [21:25] MikeChelen and i am using GNOME [21:25] sebsebseb: ohh ...k well there goes my data :P what are you running? 9.10 or earlier? [21:25] this is the repo google adds in the chrome installer, http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ [21:25] greezmun1ey, It is, but then, I have to disable the wireless adaptor for it [21:25] hi [21:25] <_u41458> is kompozer kde based or gnome based ? [21:25] _u41458: do you want something for hand editing or wysiwyg? [21:25] is there a channel for pulse audio? === root is now known as Guest24511 [21:25] greezmun1ey, Else, I have to run proxy server and set my browser to use it [21:26] _u41458: despite the name, it's gnome [21:26] julio3: #pulseaudio [21:26] thomas_newbie__: if you can upgrade to at least 8.04 though, you could stay with that and upgrade directly to 10.04 when it's out. ,but probably a good idea for you to clean install 10.04 in this case [21:26] _u41458: its mozilla based [21:26] hi I am running Jaunty at the moment and I wanted to try Karmic in a virtual machine. However when I installed virtualbox, and mounted the Karmic ISO, it wouldn't work. Does the Jaunty version of virtualbox not support 64bit? [21:26] greezmun1ey, If what you are saying is true, I wonder how that proxy hack works [21:26] <_u41458> MikeChelen hand editing [21:26] smik, let me understand, you have two wireless adapters, right? [21:26] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: what happens if you do "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"? [21:26] jrib: so you find any solutions? [21:26] nmudgal: patience... [21:26] greezmun1ey, ok let me expalin it to you in detail [21:26] <_val_> Hello, what's the location of apache2 executable? [21:26] sebsebseb: I heard that 10 is buggggggy [21:26] jrib: ok sorry ! [21:27] thomas_newbie__: 9.10 for now, but not that much longer, since going to run a differnet distro instead whilst waiting for 10.04. 9.10 is a right let down for me, and I don't want to put 9.04 back on here except for in a virtual machine [21:27] thomas_newbie__: 10.04 is JUST starting development [21:27] zorak, does your CPU support virtualization? it's required to run 64bit OSs i think. [21:27] ZykoticK9, yes it does [21:27] sebsebseb: as we've been over 9.10 is a testing ground for new features for 10.04 [21:27] _u41458: gedit seems good, it has syntax highlighting and options like line numbering, otherwise maybe give bluefish or screem a try [21:27] Graphical way to view and manage ubuntu system logs? [21:27] maco: I already told you that I knew that [21:27] sebsebseb, I agree. 9.10 is a let down. It's unusable for all that much. [21:27] <_u41458> thanks will have a look at kompozer and screem [21:27] thomas_newbie__: yes the non Long Term Support versions are basically testing releases [21:27] sebsebseb: yes but that was in a pm and this is a public channel and i dont think everyone here realizes it [21:28] zorak, is it enabled for the VM you're creating? [21:28] ZykoticK9: er, not all 64bit CPUs have VT, but all 64bit CPUs can run amd64 [21:28] thomas_newbie__: then the long term support releases are the ones that must be pretty good basicalley [21:28] <_val_> Hello guys, can anyone tell me what the location of apache2 executable is ? [21:28] MikeChelen i have not tried that [21:28] ZykoticK9, not sure, let me check [21:28] _val_ probably /usr/apache/bin or something like that [21:28] maco: indeed they don't, hence why most users get whatever is the latest release [21:28] maco you sure....so if I do upgrade will I have major problems....I just want to run some network services and stfuff [21:28] _val_, try typing: which httpd [21:28] maco: or so it seems [21:28] maco, in VBox to run 64bit you need VT i believe [21:28] MikeChelen but it is at 72% done now so i might just burn the iso [21:28] ZykoticK9, it wasn't before, it is enabled now [21:28] thomas_newbie__: overall 9.04 in my opinion is the better release for now [21:29] <_val_> Wallace: uhm I'm not in ubuntu atm.. can't ssh to it. just asking out of curiousity [21:29] sebsebseb: I don't think saying that non-lts version are "testing" releases is a fair statement [21:29] thomas_newbie__: we planned 9.10 to introduce cool new things like KMS and GRUB2 in the hopes that theyd be well-sorted by the time theyd been through 6mo in 9.10 development and 6 more months in 10.04 development [21:29] IdleOne: that's basically what maco said [21:29] !which httpd [21:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about which httpd [21:29] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: yeah that is probably faster, otherwise you have to upgrade through each version until the latest release [21:29] doh [21:29] /usr/sbin/apache2 apparently [21:29] IdleOne: new features and such in the non LTS [21:29] sebsebseb: there are new features in every release [21:29] <_val_> all right, thanks [21:29] aha mkk im gonna download 9.04 then [21:29] I've had chromium before, I just known it as the beta version of google chrome but I had it on ubuntu and I have kubuntu as well with it on it but everytime I try to access a web page using it chromium becomes unresponsive, does anyone know why? [21:29] sebsebseb: No, she said that 9.10 is stable but also being used to test some features that will be in the next LTS [21:29] IdleOne, maco, sebsebseb: mind taking it to #ubuntu-offtopic? thanks [21:29] maco: true [21:30] Flannel: yup === evilGary is now known as Gary [21:30] <_val_> the config file of apache2 is httpd.conf isn't it? [21:30] thomas_newbie__: the non LTS releases are used, to build up the next LTS basicalley [21:30] <_val_> or is it named like apache.conf? [21:30] _val_, should be httpd.conf [21:30] _val_: Not really, no. There's a number of config files in /etc/apache2/ depending on what you need to change [21:30] greezmun1ey, I have one wireless adapter. I access the internet through USB modem and GPRS via wvdial. The wireless adapter is used to be connected to a local wireless connection to share file(I am running apache for that). Now, whenever I try to connect/create a wireless connection, the internet connection doesn't work(though the status is shown as connected). But, when I run my proxy server(using squid) and set my browser proxy setting as localhost:3128, [21:30] I am able to browse the Internet in firefox. Now that was not a problem until I found that squid will only work on HTTP proxy. So this cheap trick doesnt let me do IRC while I am on wireless connection [21:30] /etc/apache2/apache2.conf i believe [21:30] sebsebseb: not all non-LTS releases are like that. its JUST 9.10. stop lying. [21:31] i don't have apache installed on this box anymore [21:31] ah no there's a httpd.conf in there also [21:31] smik, can you use a web based interface for irc [21:31] what is the easiest way (gui) to change workgroup? [21:31] /etc/apache2/httpd.conf [21:31] nmudgal: it's weird that it parses that string incorrectly. What error does it give if you omit the password? What if you omit "http://"? [21:31] sebsebseb: LTS? [21:31] <_val_> Flannel: ut what's after /etc/apache2/httpd.conf [21:31] MikeChelen i am going to experiment with something on my desktop [21:31] sebsebseb: and 8.04 was an LTS that had a fair bit of broken at release time too! crap, 6.06 was an LTS that would break windows partitions if you tried to dual-boot! [21:31] !lts | thomas_newbie__ [21:31] thomas_newbie__: 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) [21:31] how can I direct the output of one program to the right speaker and the output of another one to the left speaker? [21:31] ZykoticK9, even after enabling AMD-V in the VM options it doesn't seem to work [21:31] _val_: After? [21:31] <_val_> I mean there might be other files like ssl.conf but is httpd.conf out there? [21:31] zleap, but that would be doing a lot of cheap hacking. Besides 80port is not the only one I use. I need to do a lot of ftp and ssh also [21:31] thomas_newbie__: non LTS releases such as 9.10, 9.04, and 8.10 only get 18 months of support on the desktop and 3 on the server [21:32] ok [21:32] _val_: /etc/apache2/httpd.conf [21:32] sebsebseb: oh isee [21:32] thomas_newbie__: three years on the server that was [21:32] <_val_> ah thanks.. that's what I was looking for [21:32] zleap, but to answer that question,yes I *can* use the webbased mbhit irc [21:32] _val_: httpd.conf is empty, apache2.conf has stuff in it [21:32] there is cgi-irc for a really basic interface [21:32] <_val_> Flannel: so /etc/apache2/apache2.conf does exist [21:32] sebsebseb: 18months, period [21:33] MikeChelen i have noticed that WINE does not want to work all that well with alot of the programs i do use [21:33] _val_: in addition there's /etc/apache2/sites_enabled and /etc/apache2/mods_enabled and /etc/apache2/conf.d/ [21:33] what is the easiest way (gui) to change workgroup? [21:33] sebsebseb: there is no "3yr on server" with non-LTS [21:33] I've had chromium before, I just known it as the beta version of google chrome but I had it on ubuntu and I have kubuntu as well with it on it but everytime I try to access a web page using it chromium becomes unresponsive, does anyone know why? [21:33] thomas_newbie__: the LTS releases are basically the business quality types. [21:33] smik, I assume there is more? [21:33] how can i check what block my sound [21:33] _val_: these are locations where config files and modules are located [21:33] ? [21:33] greezmun1ey, No [21:33] maco: how long for the non LTS for the server edition? [21:33] sebsebseb: 18, just like on desktop [21:33] smik, let me digest that a minute...brb [21:33] I placed some command on system > prefs > startup applications, but they do NOT startup [21:33] maco: oh didn't know that [21:33] greezmun1ey, sure [21:33] in karmic [21:33] any idea why? [21:33] <_val_> wastrel: DocumentRoot variable is this defined in httpd.conf or apache2.conf file? [21:34] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: the version of wine included with that ubuntu release is rather old, you might have better luck using the current edition [21:34] hey guys, what's the best thing to install on an EEE PC with only 2GB of HD? Is it Xeebuntu ? [21:34] maco: I thought it was 3 for the server when non LTS, and 5 when LTS [21:34] <_val_> Flannel: said httpd.conf was empty. [21:34] sebsebseb: you thought wrong. [21:34] zorak, are you sure you have Virtualization in your CPU? for AMD use "grep svm /proc/cpuinfo" for Intel "grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo" [21:34] greezmun1ey, If it doesn't bothers you, let me know if we can come private, #ubuntu is loaded fully. [21:34] _val_: /etc/apache2/sites-available/* [21:34] smik, so, when you run your proxy server everything works, is that right? [21:34] <_val_> Ok thanks :) === Um_cara_qualquer is now known as newbie_programer [21:34] MikeChelen yeah there is alot of stuff that does not want to work like my pidgen don't want to work either [21:35] Deathmetaldean : I have the same issue, I'd just blame it on the fact that it's a beta. [21:35] greezmun1ey, When I run proxy server, I can just *browse* the web, only http on port 80. Nothing more. [21:35] greezmun1ey, No IRC nothing, not even FTP [21:35] ZykoticK9, its a AMD QL-62, which does have support for AMD-V, and the smv flag is present in the /proc/cpuinfo [21:35] smik, ok [21:35] _val_: on debian based systems that will typically be in /etc/apache2/sites_enabled/000-default unless changed by the administrator [21:35] hi all. [21:35] when booting linux how can i open the console in 1024x578 (wsvga) or something near that resolution? Is there something like vga=xxx? [21:36] zorak, in that case i have no idea. you might try in the #vbox channel [21:36] meh [21:36] bl3s5in, ah good to know it's not only me xD by brother doesn't have the same problem and he done the same thing as me lol :P === kb is now known as Guest29903 [21:36] ZykoticK9, thanks I was trying that as we speak [21:37] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: sometimes it helps to delete config files & reinstall the packages, if you do a fresh install that should accomplish the same thing [21:37] ? [21:37] jrib: sorry dc ! now what am i supposed to do [21:37] nmudgal: it's weird that it parses that string incorrectly. What error does it give if you omit the password? What if you omit "http://"? [21:37] how do i switch desktops? [21:38] deathmetaldean : It doesn't feel stable enough to use full time. Just stick to the good ol' fox. [21:38] jrib: i tried it the same error if i leave http:// [21:38] smik, it seems to me that you have set our system up to be more of a server. Perhaps your best bet is to use another machine to *work* from, or reconfigure your system as a worstation when you need it. [21:38] MikeChelen, thanks for all ur help i have learned alot [21:38] alexandre, assuming Gnome ctrl+alt+ Left or Right arrow key [21:38] alaxandre what about desktop switch applet at gnome panel? [21:38] MikeChelen, and i am sure i will get better as time goes on [21:38] Maybe I should be more specific. I have a laptop here, running 9.10. All I want to do is have a utility that will graphically notify me in the event of some kind of attack, or similar. Kind of like IDS but nothing super sophisticated. Just a simple I set up some policies and in the event something happens it pops a stagnant bubble or stays in a list in a GUI. [21:38] smik, I know that isn't much help, but sometimes there is only so much you can do. [21:39] hi everybody: yesterday I installed win 7 and then ubuntu as a dualboot system on my girlfriends laptop. Until now it worked just fine, it booted nicely into ubuntu and into win7... so I just wanted to reboot from win7 so it shut down installing some updates and then rebooted. But it only comes to the point where it says "Loading GRUB" but then restarts again... Is it possible that some win7 update has destroyed it? Or do you kno [21:39] greezmun1ey, You mean that a ubuntu user can't be connected to an wireless LAN while he is also connected to the Internet? [21:39] bl3s5in, yeah :) I use it instead because of the problem lol, whenever chrome works well it'll be awesome :D good browser lol [21:39] ZykoticK9, it's Ubunto 9.10 [21:39] jrib: Sorry it took so long, this is the guide I am following: http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:DCbKLDT4HkgJ:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo+poulsbo+karmic&cd=9&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a [21:39] ctrl+alt+ arrow key don't work [21:39] how can i check what block my sound [21:39] alexandre, is it NBR? [21:40] smik, I didn't say that. [21:40] evident: first off, once this is sorted, send your girlfriend to #ubuntu-women so we can have a new friend. second, does it ever show the grub menu? [21:40] RPG_Master: that's 4 lines and my url plugin isn't enabled :/ [21:40] ZykoticK9, sorry but what is NBR? [21:40] are there any disadvantages to the 64 bit versions of Ubuntu? [21:40] alexandre, Net Book Remix [21:40] does anyone know where the root password to ubuntu is stored? [21:40] u mean MBR? [21:40] !root | flux [21:40] flux: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:40] greezmun1ey, Then, thats exactly my case. I am a ubuntu user who wants to connect to a wireless lan while being connected to internet from another network [21:40] smik, what I did say is that your setup has boxed you into a corner. [21:40] So can anyone else help me then? [21:40] ZykoticK9, no, is desktop version 9.1 [21:41] trying to make a generic xorg.conf [21:41] where is the sudo password stored in ubuntu? [21:41] smik, well maybe it's simply a routing issue then, Are you using the same gateway for everything? [21:41] alexandre, gnome? and by switch desktop do you want to change to KDE or something? or just go to a virtual desktop? [21:41] jrib: ? [21:41] flux_: It's your user password, stored as a hash with your other passwords in /etc/shadow [21:41] greezmun1ey, Gateway? no [21:41] nmudgal__: and my other suggestion? [21:41] is there a command that I could use in order to store some file name on a variable using shell script? [21:42] Flannel is it easy for an outside to gain access to it? [21:42] maco: no it just shows the line and usually a second after that the menu to choose would appear, but it doesn't. Just turns black and reboots from the beginning [21:42] smik, type in ip route, and send that to the pastebin [21:42] greezmun1ey, How do I do that? [21:42] flux_: No, and it's not stored in plaintext anyway. Even if someone views /etc/shadow, they won't know your password. [21:42] is hardening the linux kernel a good idea? [21:42] just it put username on the place of kanika that is pranay jrib like pranay@192.168.0.4 in place of before [21:43] yo [21:43] nmudgal__: interesting [21:43] Hey guys i'm a newbie i wonder how where should i start to learn programming for ubuntu [21:43] smik, type in the command, run it, and copoy the result to paste.ubuntu.com, irc the link back here. [21:43] nmudgal__: don't know though === mj is now known as Guest98971 [21:43] hi all i have system moniter open my cpu is maxed out but i am only using 50% of my ram and no swap. i am wondering y there is not more ram used. [21:43] greezmun1ey, what command [21:43] last thing [21:43] nmudgal__: maybe stop using http_proxy and put the info in /etc/apt/apt.conf to see if it makes a difference [21:43] jrib: i am not joking with you it's true ! i am getting problems [21:44] what program do i need to use to burn a iso [21:44] nmudgal__: I believe you [21:44] * SunlessHalo please, could anybody whisper me an address:port for a convenient FREE PROXY server, in best case middle europe? [21:44] ZykoticK9, in the system setting i setup 4 desktops. i want to navigate between them [21:44] 192.168.0.254 dev ppp0 proto kernel scope link src 10.1.2.143 [21:44] default dev ppp0 scope link [21:44] i need to learn how kernel works [21:44] greezmun1ey, 192.168.0.254 dev ppp0 proto kernel scope link src 10.1.2.143 [21:44] default dev ppp0 scope link [21:44] jrib: i can't stop it's not in my control [21:44] oops sorry for not using pastebin but the I am not able to browse internet [21:44] alexandre, ctrl+alt+leftarrowkey - or use the switcher in the panel [21:44] jrib: there are many ubuntu pc under same proxy & working fine [21:45] nmudgal__: same version of ubuntu? [21:45] & the thing is jrib i set up them to work [21:45] jrib: yeah same version [21:45] ZykoticK9, i removed the switcher from the panel by mistake. and the ctrl+alt+ arrow key don't work [21:45] nmudgal__: same version of apt-get? [21:45] Now this is worse, I connected to the wireless connection momentarily and now am disconnected. But I am still not able to browse Internet, even with the proxy hack [21:45] jrib: yeah same version [21:45] smik, is the network you are using yours, or someone elses? [21:45] there is someway to restore the switcher in the panel? [21:45] jrib: everything same [21:45] greezmun1ey, Now this is worse, I connected to the wireless connection momentarily and now am disconnected. But I am still not able to browse Internet, even with the proxy hack [21:45] alexandre, sorry man - i don't have any other suggestions - good luck. [21:45] thanks [21:45] greezmun1ey, As I said, it is a GPRS network [21:46] there is someway to restore the desktop switcher in the taskbar? [21:46] what program do i need to use to burn an iso [21:46] dj_TAZ_DEVIL_69: use k3b or brasero [21:46] jrib: so you can help me ! [21:46] greezmun1ey, I think your first explanation ( about NM) is correct [21:46] nmudgal__: I don't know what else to suggest. See if it happens on a live cd [21:46] jamed, ty [21:46] greezmun1ey, Now I am not able to use that proxy trick too [21:46] does ubuntu MOBLIN remix has the same repositories than ubuntu desktop edition? [21:47] jrib: live cd is working fine [21:47] hi all i have system moniter open my cpu is maxed out but i am only using 50% of my ram and no swap. i am wondering y there is not more ram used. [21:47] smik, there is a bit more to it then that from what I see. [21:47] to burn an ISO use DEVEDE [21:47] what about iso master [21:47] greezmun1ey, bit more? [21:47] nmudgal__: what have you done since install? [21:47] ubottu: Repositories [21:47] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [21:47] Meowpup, CPU usage and RAM usage are two different things! not "directly" related. [21:47] jrib: becuase with the same cd i installed ubuntu on the same about 10-15 computers [21:47] jrib: did nothing i just installed it [21:48] alexandre: you need compiz to use ctrl-alt-arrows (= visual effects normal / extra) or right click the panel and add the pager again [21:48] What is the most current Ubuntu version with the best support for hardware? [21:48] nmudgal__: can you check from the live system on the same machine if you can use the proxy with apt-get? [21:48] Dantonic: 9.10 [21:48] Dantonic, any *buntu will have the same hardware support [21:48] alexandre: maybe metacity has it's own keybindings for switching workspaces, check system > prefs > Keybindings [21:48] yeah i tried it jrib that is working ! [21:49] greezmun1ey, Bit more? [21:49] is there and advantage in regards to stability to running an older LTS like 8.04? [21:49] there are lots of things I cannot do with 9.10 [21:49] nmudgal__: have you reinstalled? [21:49] im loving ubuntu [21:49] jrib: i don't know what fishy has gone somewhere ! [21:49] ubuntu > windows [21:50] jrib: reinstalled i installed it today yeah reinstalled [21:50] !love > noobuntue [21:50] noobuntue, please see my private message [21:50] agfa scan problen in 9.10 hep me [21:50] why ubuntu doesnt show us moblin remix download link?? [21:50] jrib: because i got to change my hd that's why i reinstalled it else it working fine before with ubuntu 8.04 [21:51] nmudgal__: I have no idea [21:51] ZykoticK9: thats weird. if the ram use was higherm then would not the cpu run better. [21:51] smik, I appologize, I really am pressed for time right now. You may need to add another adapter for more discrete routing capabilities, I don't know. [21:51] jrib: really ? [21:51] Meowpup, no - they are two different things! [21:51] nmudgal__: yes [21:51] greezmun1ey, NP, thanks for the help [21:51] jrib: should i try upgrading to 9.10 or reinstalling it? [21:52] nmudgal__: aren't you already using 9.10? [21:52] hi i have an laptop with ubuntu running. ive got 2 keys, one is to disable the touchpad other is for disable wlan, but they arent running on ubuntu [21:52] lol [21:52] jrib: no i am using 9.04 i told you [21:52] how do i install desktop 3d? sudo apt-get install 3ddesktop don't work [21:53] nmudgal__: I suppose 9.10 wouldn't hurt [21:53] Meowpup, best "i" can describe it: cpu is how fast the computer thinks, RAM is how much computer can think at one time. [21:53] nmudgal__: many people got issues after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10. [21:53] lol [21:53] jrib: ok let's see btw may i know your name? you helped a lot ! [21:53] what a join/part flood [21:53] omg [21:53] does anybody know if there's skype for downloading? i'm on ubuntu 8.04 [21:53] nmudgal__: jrib is a mangling of my name :) [21:53] freaklyweirdo: yes there is try their website [21:53] freaklyweirdo: skype.com [21:54] :D [21:54] i've got some trouble.

[21:54] nmudgal__: jason [21:54] "lol" "omg" "wtf floodbots" "..." what a collection of meaningful sentences, G3Ck0 [21:54] wrong architecture 'i386' [21:55] jrib: ok jason thnxs for the help :) i try else meet u tomorrow here again [21:55] nmudgal__: good luck [21:56] freaklyweirdo, you can try "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture PACKAGENAME" - FYI i hear the 32bit version of Skype sometimes works where the 64bit version doesn't [21:56] does this channel support ubuntu moblin remix? [21:58] freaklyweirdo, you'll also need to verify that you have "ia32-libs" installed to run 32bit apps. [21:58] tter than ever! [21:58] Hello World! I'm back and better than ever! [21:58] ZykoticK9, i figured out what my problem was: I didn't have virtualization turned on in my BIOS. I turned it on and it fixed the problem. Thanks [21:58] I get no hello back? [21:58] Hi I'm trying to install samba but I keep getting this error! Errors were encountered while processing: [21:58] mysql-server-5.0 [21:58] mysql-server [21:58] roxen4 [21:58] libroxen-flash2 [21:58] ironfoot495: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:59] zorak, awsome! [21:59] ok sorry!! [21:59] ironfoot495: this is when you try apt-get install samba ? [22:00] chamillion: Hello back [22:00] I made a .py hello world app, but when I run it, it does nothing... [22:00] Thank You! [22:00] ironfoot495: can you give a pastebin of the command and error you are getting [22:00] yes and inet but I think the problem has somthing to do with having xampp installed??? [22:00] t: [22:00] chamillion, did you try "python SCRIPT.py" [22:01] I want to be able to double click, Run the file [22:01] chamillion: make the file executable [22:01] anyone having issues with 9.10 taking like 10 minutes to boot and then still failing to bring up the display? [22:01] chamillion: chmod +x scriptfile.py [22:01] Talaskina: not here [22:01] Talaskina, getting an orangey background, not even getting to login prompt? [22:02] how do I make it executible? [22:02] chamillion: i told you [22:02] I did that already... [22:02] no, says failed while handling, and eventually brings me to the cmd prompt, but it takes at least 5 minutes to get to the prompt to begin with [22:02] because every time it goes looking for /var/run/mysqld it's not it's located in /opt do you know where to go to change this??? [22:02] 9.04 works fine [22:02] chamillion: does it have the python header at the top of the file [22:02] yes [22:03] chamillion: does it work in a terminal phython hello.py [22:03] #! usr/bin/python, yes [22:03] hi [22:03] i have a problem with ubuntu [22:04] chamillion: yes, to the terminal working? [22:04] hey, has anyone else had a problem with mp3s and 9.10? Basically, none of the music players are able to determine the song length. [22:04] yes [22:04] I'm assuming this is an issue with gstreamer's codecs, but don't know what fixes might be available [22:04] any1 has problem with ubuntu starting? [22:04] chamillion: does it work in a terminal ./hello.py [22:05] nikola: can you be more specific? [22:05] ALOT more? [22:05] i installed ubuntu 9.10 on empty disk of 1 tb [22:05] i booted [22:05] bbryant: you installed restricted extras ? thats odd they play but without knowing the sound length [22:05] Billiard Yes [22:06] Billiard: yea, I did [22:06] and went to normal start [22:06] i just get black screen [22:06] how can i get prefs windows to stop opening in my other monitor ? [22:07] chamillion: it might not appear to do anything when you run a hello world script from gui [22:07] hi all [22:07] I'm installing ubuntu-restriceted-extras, should I? [22:07] chamillion, don't know is it was just a typo - but i think your opening line should be "#!/usr/bin/python" <- notice the no space and the first /, which is differnt from what you posted [22:07] I get mysql errors everytime I run apt-get install. It happens specifically because "mtop" is getting setup... and the error is: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) [22:07] yes, i did it [22:08] a weird question, but Im connected to my wireless and I want ubuntu to show that im connected to another wireless connection. anyone know of someway to do this? for example i want network manager not to show the wireless im connected to, but a different a name [22:08] i got a problem with my Vitrualbox... I got this error " kernel driver not installed " [22:08] loquitus: does root have a passwort ? [22:08] G3Ck0: no the root account is locked [22:08] Billiard: Here is the info you requested -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/325629/ [22:08] mido read the rest of the message, do what it says. [22:08] google is your friend ;). We truly appreciate when you go there first, and a lot of the time, your questions can be answered there faster than here, so just keep it in mind. [22:08] maco he is talking about mysql [22:08] ironfoot495: someone else requested it but ill take a look [22:08] G3Ck0: oooooooooh ok [22:08] mido, have you rebooted since installing VBox? [22:08] G3Ck0: yes. there is a password on root. as in, mysql -uroot -p asks for a password that is not blank [22:08] mido: What version do you have installed? [22:08] ok thanks! [22:09] loquitus: so you need to use this passwort to login as root [22:09] ZykoticK9: yes [22:09] Bilz, networkmanager is built to connect to networks and show what network you are connected to, not to confuse you ;) you will have to get some script or modification for networkmanagerr [22:09] mido, then try running "sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" [22:09] sorry if missed you ActionParsnip: [22:09] ZykoticK9: then؟ [22:09] G3Ck0: yes. but apt-get seems to be trying to access mysql as root and clearly does not have the password as it is trying to login as root without the password. [22:09] mido, then reboot and test === gorlak is now known as Talaskina [22:10] ironfoot495: idk id try sudo apt-get clean [22:10] ok [22:10] I typed that header correctly, I just made a typo in chat [22:10] tthat won't drop my system will it ? [22:10] Billiard? [22:10] loquitus: apt-get will ask you for passwort, aptitude doesnt [22:10] chamillion: what do you expect the script to do when you run it by double clicking on it? [22:11] ironfoot495: try that command [22:11] G3Ck0: apt-get did not ask me for a password [22:11] OK! Billiard [22:12] has anyone here worked with c++ much? [22:12] G3Ck0: loquitus: you need to use sudo with the command, sudo asks for the password. apt-get and aptitude will attempt to run as user and fail [22:12] gyyrog: yes but maybe you should try the c++ channels [22:12] loquitus: so i have no idea. the only thing, apt-get will need passwort is on mysql upgrades, sry i really dont know why it try to connect [22:12] there aren't really any [22:12] Billiard so try the apt-get install samba again??? [22:12] gyyrog: arent any what? c++ channels, there are so [22:12] G3Ck0: well the issue is root probably did not have a password and now it does and apt-get has no idea what it is nor is it even asking for it. [22:13] there is a c one, and a swedish c++ one [22:13] hi [22:13] loquitus: ActionParsnip told you need to use sudo apt-get [22:13] gyyrog: there is c++ and c++-basic afaik and they are usually somewhat populated [22:13] I thought Python was used to make programs... [22:13] ironfoot495: sure [22:14] G3Ck0: I am using sudo. [22:14] chamillion: it can be used to make gui programs, but you only had your script write to standard output right? [22:14] chamillion: there are many coding languages to make programs [22:14] yes [22:14] Billiard: OK! it repeated the same procedure again!!! [22:14] loquitus: so try to delete the root-passwort on your mysql if its NOT a public computer/server [22:14] is there a complete list of all programming languages somewhere? [22:14] chamillion: if you want your script to do something in a gui, you must change your script to do so [22:14] loquitus: i dont have any other idea about it [22:14] wastrel, doubt it, but if there was, it would be on the WWW. [22:14] wastrel: wiki probably has one [22:15] G3Ck0: so apt-get cannot be explicitely configured to know what this password is? I don't like the idea of having no password on root, even for localhost access [22:15] wastrel: i'd imagine so but it may not contain obscure ones like brainfuck [22:15] !kvm [22:15] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [22:15] i want to learn brainfuck! [22:15] I think it has something to do with me having xampp installed! is there a work around or a way to let it no that mysqld is located in the /opt files? [22:15] wastrel, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages [22:15] wastrel: go nuts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_programming_languages [22:15] !language | binMonkey [22:15] binMonkey: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[22:16] maco: it's the actual name of a programming language [22:16] loquitus: i never need mysql acces with apt-get, i have no idea. i only need it on upgrading MySQLd [22:16] maco: its a genuine programming language [22:16] i know [22:16] maco: it's really a name. [22:16] but its still a naughty word [22:16] loquitus: maybe someone else can help. sry [22:16] maco: how can we discuss a legit language if we can't uter its name [22:16] because I don't have mysql independent it's located in the xampp mysql files. [22:17] ActionParsnip: well in the first place, programming is OT for here [22:17] ActionParsnip, it is in the list. Under B.

Now when I try to connect/create a wirless lan through Network manager, I am unable to use that GPRS internet [22:25] :D [22:26] alexandre: if you don't have 3D support it will NOT work [22:26] jphillips86: kill [22:26] jphillips86, "kill PID#" or "killall APP_NAME" [22:26] no because the computer is cold its just that it doesn't turn off it happened after i installed Ubuntu [22:26] smik: you may have to define routes using the route command === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay === SunlessHalo is now known as Consul_Falx [22:26] smik: You mean if you setup a wireless ad-hoc network it disconnects you from the GPRS connection [22:26] miami0981: OS's don't usually interfere with cooling [22:26] ZykoticK9: how to kill application? [22:27] marijuana: kill [22:27] marijuana, either kill or killall [22:27] smik: Otherwise what you want to do is setup a wireless ad-hoc connection in networkmanager with the IPv4 settings set to "Share connection" and it'll automatically set it up for you [22:27] marijuana: you get pid with ps fx [22:27] marijuana, or xkill <- but it's NOT as good! [22:27] is there a driver maybe that can help the computer tell the fan to turn off [22:27] Amaranth, Exactly. I can't say it disconnects me, but the internet just don't work [22:27] i'm sorry, how to kill all applicatio? [22:27] miami0981, when it's turned on do you get the window where it asks you to "shutdown, restart, hibernate... will restart in 60 seconds"? Kinda like if you pressed the power button. [22:27] is netbook remix any faster? [22:27] can i get some help figuring out why my sound quit midsession? [22:27] smik: Yeah, try configuring the ad-hoc connection settings to tell network manager you're using it to share another connection [22:28] i'm sorry, how to kill all current application, killall? [22:28] Amaranth, I am doing that only, not working [22:28] marijuana: killall firefox ? [22:28] BLUE_BALLS: Please change your nick, that's rather crude and, even worse, all caps [22:28] BLUE_BALLS: i tried it on my laptop but i didnt liked it [22:28] i meant the fan not the computer, the computer turns off but the fan doesn't not even if am in idle [22:28] marijuana: killall firefox never fails! [22:28] kisuke, if you're using Gnome/Pulse and want to restart it midsession you can use "killall -9 pulseaudio && start-pulseaudio-x11" [22:28] marijuana: Can you change your nick please? [22:28] ActionParsnip, thanks. i'm installing it [22:28] Amaranth, When I create a wireless connection and connect to it, my wvdial connection doesn't work. [22:29] GilJ: thats not true, hard locks sometimes dont kill nicely, requiring a kill -9 [22:29] smik: I guess the problem is you're not doing it all through network manager [22:29] smik: You either have to use network manager for everything or don't use it at all [22:29] Amaranth, I am doing the wvdial though CLI, and wireless through network connection [22:29] ActionParsnip, done. know how do i run it? [22:29] i have done some research and some people have the same fan problem that never turns off [22:30] ActionParsnip, sorry. i found it [22:30] Amaranth, because the GPRS doesnt' work from NM [22:30] i mean to kill all application i opened at the same time [22:30] miami0981: When you shut down your computer the fan stays on? [22:30] smik: Hrm, it should work in 9.10 at least [22:30] no but its stays on when the computer is on idle [22:30] Amaranth, Do you suggest me to connect both GPRS as well as ad hoc from CLI. I am using *9.04 [22:30] ZykoticK9: it is was using asla, and the card it self is not listed in the hardware tab of sound prefrences [22:31] smik: You'll have to setup both from CLI then, which gets...fun [22:31] kisuke, are you using Ubuntu or Xubuntu or Kubuntu? [22:31] ZykoticK9: ubuntu 9.10 [22:31] I just made an ubuntu virus in Python ;) [22:31] lol jk [22:31] smik: You have to set the wireless mode, channel, and name then give it an IP, configure routes, iptables, etc [22:31] kisuke, if you've removed Pulse then I can't help sorry - best of luck [22:32] Amaranth, can you point out to an article for that [22:32] ZykoticK9: plse is not the issue and it is inastalled [22:32] This is really bizarre. :s [22:32] can someone tell me how to make the computer turn of the fan it will burn [22:32] hi, is there a way to install/uninstall something and NOT give a damn about dependencies? Lmms depends on Wine, but I want to remove only Wine anyway [22:32] smik: Nope, I don't even know how to do it all [22:32] Hi I have a strange problem. I can login through tty1 but when starting I get a login screen with the gui and can't get past it [22:32] kisuke, then try running the command i gave you [22:32] Amaranth, So thats where the catch is! [22:32] smik: I'd suggest upgrading to 9.10 and seeing if you can do your GPRS connection in network manager again [22:32] #python [22:32] ##python [22:33] After a clean install of Xubuntu last night, I'm not able to install anything over the network. Anything that involves downloading just times out. [22:33] Amaranth, I have the 9.10 disk. I was just needing a reason to upgrade ;) [22:33] * Jaay is a noob and has no idea how to fix this [22:33] Why do you have xubuntu? [22:33] ZykoticK9: it did nothing i think it may be kernal side, it shows up in lspci wih a driver but gnome does not recognize it [22:33] Netbook [22:33] rooist47: If you have installed it from the software center usb does´nt work cause it is an older version, I think it´s version 2.0.8 so you have to go to virtual box´s home page and get the 3.0.8 version.. [22:34] kisuke, do you know if rebooting solves the issue? [22:34] I had Ubuntu on it, but it was a tad sluggish. [22:34] ZykoticK9: it does not [22:34] kim_Da_Nite: Actually USB doesn't work because USB support is only in the closed source version [22:34] rooist47: kim_Da_Nite the version of Virtualbox from the repo or Software Centre is the open source verison which lacks USB support, go to the website if wanting the one that has it, that's also closed source [22:34] I can't login to my system :( [22:34] kisuke, then it's a pure hardware support issue. what soundcard are you using "lspci | grep -i audio" [22:35] kim_Da_Nite sebsebseb I installed the 3.... from the home page (.deb) [22:35] hey, I just upgraded to karmic and I have an issue, I have this menu thing in the background with all the system settings, and it won't go away [22:35] keppi: whay happens when you try? [22:35] and its eating up 60% of my CPU [22:35] ZykoticK9: it worked just fine on 9.04 nad till 11:00 last night... [22:35] Help me get points by registering, you don't even have to use the site (besides the register): http://www.irazoo.com/ReferedNewUser.aspx?Refby=OWKqf80sBDOo1Ymg2q5GJQ== [22:36] sebsebseb: now if I try to delet vboxusers group and uninstall VirtualBox to do a new installation [22:36] Billiard: I found out tha t I do have get rid of xampp to make things thanks. [22:36] ActionParsnip, i have installed and configure to use the 3d cube desktop. but know the ctrl+alt+ arrow key don't work [22:36] Billiard: it acts like it's loging in and bounces back to the login screen [22:36] ironfoot495: ok cool [22:36] This wasn't an issue on Ubuntu 9.04 :( [22:36] does that clear all files related to the old installation of VBox ? [22:36] keppi: hit ctrl+alt+f1 try to login there [22:36] rooist47: ok [22:36] Billiard: it works fine from there [22:36] Can anyone help me on how I can save my audio/video codec on disk and then install fresh 9.10 and then install those saved codec. My Internet is not fast enough for downloading the codes again? [22:36] kisuke, "uname -r" [22:37] rooist47: in 9.04 Virtualbox non OSE version needed setting up with a command or two, for the USB support [22:37] sebsebseb: does that clear all files related to the old installation of VBox ? [22:37] s/again?/again. [22:37] rooist47: I assume this is probably also the case with 9.10 [22:37] ZykoticK9: one min and i will pb the lspci out put for the card and run that [22:37] keppi: hmmm, i guess i would check the error logs, not sure which sorry maybe gdm or gnome [22:37] kisuke, if you've upgraded to 9.10 from 9.04 - the uname is more important right now [22:38] ok I will serch for that command and give you the result of the reinstallation [22:38] sebsebseb: [22:38] rooist47: you could do sudo purge packagename to remove virtualbox and config files, however the hidden .virtualbox folder in Home will probably stil be there [22:38] rooist47: or use synaptic and remove the program with config files as well [22:38] rooist47, sebsebseb be careful!! i think purge will delete all your current virtual machines! [22:38] sebsebseb: I prefer apt-get [22:39] ZykoticK9: it will keep the vhds ? [22:39] ZykoticK9: yes it might do that, but probably not [22:39] maahes, maybe its a widget on a layer? [22:39] rooist47: have you got vm's on there that you want to keep? [22:39] ZykoticK9: did and then had my little brother try to figure out why he could install fallout, so ended up doing a clean install [22:39] maahes do you use compiz-fusion? [22:39] billiard_junkee, I think its netbook_launcher [22:39] and yes yes Ido [22:39] euh just one vhd [22:39] ahhh, nevermind [22:39] ZykoticK9: couldn't [22:39] basically I want the ability to hide the damn thing [22:40] hmm [22:40] kisuke, if you've done a clean install then the kernel isn't an issue. has the sound ever worked in 9.10? and what card is it? [22:40] Can anyone help me on how I can save my audio/video codec on disk and then install fresh 9.10 and then install those saved codec. My Internet is not fast enough for downloading the codes again. [22:40] sebsebseb: ZykoticK9 I have to keep just one vhd [22:40] ZykoticK9: yes and it is an intel intigrate HDA inte lsomething or other [22:40] rooist47: copy/move it some where else, and you can delete .virtaulbox [22:40] rooist47: or just keep that [22:41] rooist47: you just want USB set up [22:41] rooist47, just to be save i'd backup the ~/.VirtualBox directory [22:41] ZykoticK9: i doubt you can, the installer for the codec will have been discarded after installation. [22:41] alexandre: are the other effects working? [22:41] ZykoticK9: ok [22:41] kisuke, "lspci | grep -i audio" [22:42] smik, i think CShadowRun's comment was for you [22:42] sorry yea, that was for smik [22:42] CShadowRun, Oh [22:43] i see this in dmesg: "hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC883, trying auto-probe from BIOS" - if this fails will it log it?

[22:49] ActionParsnip, ok, i'll try [22:49] aske: simdock doesnt require a compositing WM [22:49] aske, avant-window-manager [22:49] rumpel_, I guess you are right [22:49] ZykoticK9, ive installed gnome-do but didnt get it.. [22:49] billiard_junkee: na? === erqzor_ is now known as eXq [22:49] Well, by default, it looks like Ubuntu installer wants to create logical partitions. If there's only going to be 4, shouldnt they all be primary? Even the instructions on Ubuntu's site uses logical for the ubuntu partitions even though there are only 4 specified. [22:49] nah...nevermind. ;) [22:49] * Jaay asks his question in the forum :o [22:49] billboard-jukee, nice name!

I plugged in a NTFS USB External HDD. Ubuntu detected it, but whenever I try to do anything to the drive, I get an error saying it's a read-only filesystem. "mount" shows it's rw though, so I'm not sure how to solve this. [22:50] If i boot up with 2 video cards plugged in i get no display, how do i get a display with both cards in and sli enabled? [22:50] Jaay: Can you get on webpages? [22:50] rumpel_, not in /var/catche/apt/archives [22:50] Yes [22:50] ActionParsnip, no, i configure it by their control panel [22:50] jasonw, I dont know what to tell you...maybe try the previous kernel, or start in recovery [22:51] rumpel_, Though I know I have it installed on my system [22:51] Jaay: Ok where were you trying to download stuff from? [22:51] alexandre: yes but you need to switch window manager to compiz [22:51] ActionParsnip, i dind't get the hang of the command line yet. i started playing with linux today [22:51] Just trying the sudo apt-get update [22:51] Anyone?

[22:53] sebsebseb, yea i have it ... i need it to return the bootloader to GRUB window 7 over write it :\ [22:53] sileni: altough I didn't use the word stable in our pm from earlier [22:53] kisuke, best of luck man [22:54] hey I am evaluating the new ubuntu and one thing that I noticed is that it won't let me bind the Windows key by itself as a keyboard shortcut. Does anyone know how to re-enable that feature? [22:54] kcj1993, a notebook wifi or pcmcia card [22:54] !grub | sileni [22:54] sileni: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[22:54] kcj1993, i have two working wifi cards but cant seem to get anything to create/host an adhoc network [22:54] ubuntu_: you can't have it on its own, it is a modifier [22:54] ZykoticK9: gonna leave now the murphonic field is probably gonna leak [22:54] sharpen047, I don't have a clue.

[22:56] ActionParsnip, or is this a new Ubuntu change? [22:56] ubuntu_: not sure, i ditched gnome a while back [22:56] I dont want to use a virtual machine, because It seems ubuntu can handle everything better than Windows :P, with the exception to .exe's :( [22:56] running vm on any host is a joke fo rthe most part, functionality is minimal at best [22:56] ActionParsnip, that only works if the file option "Allow executing" is not checked. I'm just uncomfortable with having something that could potentially run windows stuff [22:56] hey guys, how do i view the wpa key of the wifi netowrk i am currently connected to?

[22:57] since i can connect via ubuntu i want o see what its telling this connection when it connects [22:57] the envelope icon [22:57] sileni: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04 I also suggest md5suming/sh1suming or both, your ISO before burning the contents to your CD, to make sure you have a good download. In the list of files is the ISO that you will download, but also the file that contains the codes that your ISO needs to be for a good download.

I'm trying to install ubuntu, I downloaded the ISO, tried to burn it to a CD, but the burn failed for some reason. Is there a way to mount with software the ISO image and install while in Windows XP? [22:58] innomen: is it a wep key? [22:58] kcj1993: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop or sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop should both work [22:58] LjL: thanks, cheers! [22:58] epinky, no [22:59] mwaty: ok check your ISO [22:59] mwaty: did you md5 test the ISO?? [22:59] ctmjr: run that in terminal shut down install my second card and reboot?

[23:00] sebsebseb, no i'm on windows 7 , the image i downloaded was bad i think caues it said IO error boot disk can't be read [23:00] better [23:00] ActionParsnip, if i right click anywhere on the notification bar, i get the preferences for the notifier at that spot [23:00] sebsebseb, i think your way of checksumming should eliminate the problem with this download [23:00] there is no add notifier optin [23:00] Is it possible to install ubuntu from a current ubuntu install, to a different partition? [23:00] sebsebseb, any ideas [23:00] lol chamillion [23:00] You liked my joke?

[23:01] can you burn linux distros to DVD+RW's? [23:02] Brent: you can ask in #nvidia maybe someone in there can help you more than me [23:02] mwaty: is the disk damaged or is the system not set to boot via CD? [23:02] how can I add kernels in grub 2? :S [23:02] I don't understand why the CD Burning didn't work, it got like 95% done... and then crapped out =) [23:02] sileni: yes do a md5sum [23:02] innomen: check with "sudo more /etc/network/interfaces" [23:02] sileni: make sure the codes match, and then you can burn the CD a bit slower as well, if they do match [23:02] mwaty: you tried burning more than once? [23:02] sebsebseb, roger that, man you are very nice and helpful [23:02] billiard_junkee, can you resend me that link?

[23:04] jorik and please how do i mount it? [23:04] alexandre: "man mount" [23:04] Is it possible to install ubuntu without booting from the cd? i.e. through a current ubuntu install? [23:04] sileni: they recommend one on the help page, but there are a few or so [23:04] sebsebseb, just for learning purpose how would i do it on linux, i would install a program ? [23:04] glick: i never said you do, you will see "add item" in the right click menu, you will then see this: http://www.techotopia.com/images/f/f7/Gnome_add_to_panel2.jpg you can then select notifier from there [23:05] sileni: much easier when already running a Linux distro [23:05] chamillion: generally, todays computers? it doesn't matter. [23:05] So? [23:05] chamillion: if you have a dvd drive, you probably can boot from dvd. [23:05] sileni: with Ubuntu you would do. system > administration > terminal [23:05] sileni: then you can cd into the folder where the iso is. by default the terminal starts in home so if the ISO is already there :) [23:05] my CD_drive says DVD R/RW on it, is that OK? [23:05] Chun: yes. that is very doable. [23:05] Chun: you can add the ISO to grub and boot to it [23:05] chamillion: it should be. [23:05] sileni: then you can do md5sum namegoeshere.iso and if you want to sha1sum it as well. sha1sum namegoeshere.iso [23:06] sebsebseb, wow that is cool [23:06] ActionParsnip, i added the notification area [23:06] sileni: get the codes and make sure they match to the ones that are provided. and really the Ubuntu website should be a lot more clear in the downloads section. that people should md5sum or sha1sum or both an ISO before burning contents to CD [23:06] but i still dont see the envelope with empathy icon in it [23:07] unkmar: cool - any tips on where to start? Can I just run the installer from some location, if I mount the iso? === JulioNeto is now known as julioneto [23:07] sileni: and the torrents do an automatic check or whatever, so not really needed for those. and you can check that you got everything in a torrent in most/all of those programs. ,but if doing a HTTP or FTP download yes md5sum and sh1sum's [23:07] startx X: warning; process set to priority -2 instead of requested priority 0, Fatal server error:Server is already active for display 0 [23:08] jorik, how do i know the name of the devices? i have 3 partitions [23:08] !sound [23:08] sileni: there is also a disck check on the CD once it boots, that you can run to make sure your psyical CD is ok [23:08] 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).

[23:17] it wont let me load X over SSH unless i close it on the server [23:17] hi, I'm looking for a recommendation for setting up a post-receive hook on an email daemon. daemon gets email => passes email onto a Ruby script [23:17] mom: uhmm not sure [23:17] ae86-drifter: you can even plug 2 mice, 2 keyboards and 2 monitors into one system and make a dual seater [23:17] rumpel_ Thats what I was trying to do, so when I start the VPS up, it will run [23:17] mom: ,but yes pulse audio issues since Ubuntu 8.04 [23:17] alexandre: pwd - lists present working directory. [23:17] seidos, im on a notebook i have two working wifi cards and i want to use my phones internet, if i get an adhoc connection up i can use the internet. kubuntu karmic [23:17] Installed it and was working fine...wife rebooted laptop...not exactly sure what she did - now loads all the way through the screen where i am asked for key ring then nothing [23:17] !dualhead | ae86-drifter [23:17] is there an official ubuntu site that lists the md5 for 8.0.4 rc? [23:17] ae86-drifter: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [23:17] im trying to mount my external hard drive but its not showing up in /media....when I turn it on theres a message pops up asking me if I want to open the Unmounted external drive in a new window or do nothing...I select open and it does nothing... [23:17] rick979: rc?? no the final? [23:17] ActionParsnip, i know but i'm doing dual head , lol [23:17] rumpel_ How do I do that [23:17] i mean i am, but thats no issue [23:17] moparirc_X7PFk, i meant something like the [23:17] sebsebseb, it seems to get worse for me [23:17] where is the ubuntu.com website located? [23:18] mom: Ubuntu has issues with it, but many other distros are rather fine with it [23:18] Is the ubuntu iso updated at all after final release? [23:18] sebsebseb: correct [23:18] moparirc_X7PFk, look for a tutorial for init.d-scripts [23:18] seidos, i have followed a few tuts and none of them work [23:18] rick979: Why? download and burn the final? [23:18] rick979: after checking it [23:18] sebsebseb: can't [23:18] how do i with the gui interface map a path so it apears as a drive? [23:18] rick979: why not? [23:18] rumpel_ I do not have a long time to do this [23:18] ae86-drifter: if you are using an nvidia gfx card it can be setup in nvidia-settings [23:18] why does the regular install cd does not include raid support, instead we have to download an alternate cd that only has text base and it isrudimentary at best? [23:18] Ok Ill give this question another try today and see if anyone knows now. Is there any way to organise Ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix favorite launchers? I would love to be able to put internet apps side by side, audio/video players side by side etc. Anyone know if this is possible? [23:18] sebsebseb, youd think theyd have audio working smoothly as a major priority [23:18] sebsebseb: slow connection and lack of time [23:18] thomas_newbie__: can you mount your external drive? [23:19] /join #glob2 [23:19] \join #glob2 [23:19] how to install headers ? [23:19] i didn't think audio was broke [23:19] moparirc_X7PFk, then you have to start it everytime manually ^^ [23:19] ae86-drifter: otherwise you may have to write some fancy things in xorg.conf [23:19] mom: well hopefuly for 10.04 and if not hmm that's not good, not good at all, since it's the next Long Term Support release as well [23:19] ActionParsnip, there is NO issue running dual screens, thats fine, my issue is starting another instance of x server of X over SSH!! [23:19] sebsebseb: i'm not using it to do anything but debootstap the final [23:19] epinky: yea no I wasn't able to [23:19] they should rename the sebsebseb 8.04 was a lts as well [23:19] epinky: or maybe I'm doing it wrong [23:20] i have a folder called thats in "/mnt/hgfs/downloads" and I want that to show up when i click on "computer" in that list is what i mean. [23:20] mom: yes and 8.04 introduced puleaudio [23:20] sebsebseb: i just am concerned it may have been tampered with [23:20] epinky: not sure which one in /dev it is [23:20] guyz... how to install headers to my kernel? [23:20] mom: the amount of times I did killall pulseaudio in the shell [23:20] rumpel_ But the thing is, is when I close the SSH client, it kills the server [23:20] sebsebseb, do i really need it? can i just do alsa instead? [23:20] mido: « sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) » [23:20] and when i right click and go to "make link" it tells me it doesn't support symbolic links. [23:20] but epinky like i say a window pops up but when I say open in a new window nothign happens [23:20] mom: I think pulseaudio and alsa are linked some how now [23:20] Hi, I was over at a friends house, trying to install ubuntu on their computer, however I kept getting Error #5 :( [23:20] thomas_newbie__: type on terminal "sudo fdisk -l" and check which it is [23:20] ae86-drifter: why not just use x forwarding for the individual app, rather than the whole desktop? I don't know about the full desktop, seems excessive [23:21] seige36: are you using a hub to connect multiple computers? [23:21] I used to think kubuntu was better, but that was when I was going for better looks...Reminds me of Windows users. [23:21] thanx eru [23:21] Can anybody explain what was the problem? [23:21] moparirc_X7PFk, yes... because your process is bound to the running shell [23:21] erm [23:21] moparirc_X7PFk, enter "screen" and start then... [23:21] x forwarding?? [23:21] what is that/ [23:21] gluxon: Did you verify the CD? [23:21] ill try that [23:21] give me 1 minute [23:21] linuxguy2009: Yeah. [23:21] all i want is a GUI over SSH [23:22] seidos im using a router but i just want an ad-hoc network from kubuntu [23:22] ae86-drifter: where you run an app via ssh, but its displayed on the client system but runs on the ssh server === eddie is now known as Guest37334 [23:22] gluxon: error doing what, which part? [23:22] gluxon: What part of the install process did you get the error? partitioning, copying of files, cleaning up at the end etc? [23:22] Installing, copying files. [23:22] rumpel_ -bash: screen: Command not found [23:22] at about 32% [23:23] Using ubuntu 8.10. [23:23] I know I should have used 9.10 [23:23] but I didn't have that in range. [23:23] And figured I'd just update once it's installed. [23:23] gluxon: 8.10 is fine for now [23:23] gluxon: Hmm I had nothing but trouble with 8.10 release. [23:23] gluxon: it runs out of support in April I think though when 10.04 comes out [23:23] ActionParsnip, i can already do that [23:23] gluxon: Use 9.10 or even more reliable is the 8.04.3 LTS release. [23:23] but thats not a GUI. [23:23] linuxguy2009: other computer ethernet woudn't work with 8.10, but other then that, 8.10 a great release for me :) [23:24] ae86-drifter: then why do you need the full desktop? [23:24] Yeah. [23:24] gluxon: 9.04 is a good release [23:24] I'm out of CD's :( [23:24] gluxon: that's ok run 8.10 for now [23:24] And I don't think I can get more :( [23:24] gluxon: got a flashdrive? [23:24] Yeah. [23:24] gluxon: buy some new CD's? and do a nice clean install when 10.04 comes out? [23:25] gluxon: unetbootin it. [23:25] whats the dir, of source.list? [23:25] My flash drive installs have been working fine. [23:25] ActionParsnip, because i want a GUI!! [23:25] But it failed on two computers.. [23:25] :( [23:25] I got a question about ACLs here - How do they integrate with the UGO permissions within Linux? Who takes priority? [23:25] Is there a way to force a program to stay in memory across sessions so that it will start faster for all users? [23:25] ae86-drifter: oh well, i have no idea about that. sorry [23:25] Well, the regular install on the boot menu that pops up. [23:25] gluxon: overall 8.10 has been my favourite release since 8.04 [23:25] can somebody pls help me load a GUI over SSH [23:25] gluxon: of course I don't run it now though [23:25] gluxon: Why the frown whats wrong now? [23:26] ae86-drifter, why dont you tsc [23:26] Well, I'm saying that I keep getting error #5 when installing on HD's. [23:26] Never on USB! :D [23:26] i_is_broke, terminal svcs??? [23:26] For example, after gedit is started, subsequent sessions start very quickly. I want to make it so that it starts quickly even after a reboot [23:27] gluxon: Use unetbootin to copy the ISO to the flashdrive. Boot the flashdrive and try to install from that instead and see what happens. [23:27] terminal server client [23:27] gluxon: errors such as? [23:27] Let me find it. [23:27] i_is_broke, thats a good idea, i thought that was windows specific [23:27] thanks [23:27] i_is_broke: still looking for sources? it's in /etc/apt/sources.list [23:27] hi [23:27] anyone know much a bout dvd ripping? [23:27] VCoolio, ty [23:28] labuser: do not power off you comp. just hibernate (to ram or disk). warm caches all time ;P [23:28] fretegi_part_2: try acidrip [23:28] Something like this. [23:28] Failed to copy files Error #5 input/output error [23:28] VCoolio, i was going down the list in find. [23:28] i got the ripper, had a few questions about setting up the ripper [23:28] fretegi_part_2: what software are you using to rip? [23:28] im using handbrake [23:28] !piracy > fretegi_part_2 [23:28] fretegi_part_2, please see my private message [23:28] gluxon: Sounds like its unable to copy files. Probably due to bad burn, bad disk, dirt on surface of disk or lens. [23:28] sebsebseb: its not piracy to back up your dvds [23:29] Ah. [23:29] Here's a good image I found :) [23:29] http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/5166/errorkf6.png [23:29] hi. I just installed 9.10 on an old pentium iii laptop. The CPU is clocked 650Mhz but /proc/cpuinfo says it only runs on 160Mhz. What's the deal with that? [23:29] It's the exact error. [23:29] gluxon: Clean the disk and maybe use a lens cleaner. [23:29] and that is all i am doing [23:29] Well, just saying, if it can boot up, why can't it copy? [23:29] histo: well it is for sure if they aren't originals === fasfasf is now known as FLM94 [23:30] they are my own dvds which i have purchased :) [23:30] And I tried wiping it with my shirt, no luck. [23:30] sebsebseb: did he say anything about that? === FLM94 is now known as afjsdf [23:30] anyhow, may i still ask my question? [23:30] DrJanItor: is it running stupendously slow? [23:30] gluxon: Do you have the CD there with you? Do a md5sum on it and paste the sum here for us to check. [23:30] DrJanItor: is it a speedstep cpu ? [23:30] ActionParsnip: yep [23:30] fretegi_part_2: yes of course, as long as it's not piracy related [23:30] linxeh: I guess so [23:30] Uh. [23:30] No :( [23:30] DrJanItor: hmm, let me websearch [23:30] gluxon: ok [23:30] I wiped out their winxp :( [23:31] ok great, thanks, sorry for the confusion. I am ripping my media with handbrake, doing samples, working out optimization for wuality not file size [23:31] So they had no OS. [23:31] O_O [23:31] Hi, I want your advice regarding which tiling manager i have to use ? [23:31] So I had to leave the CD their so they actually had something to use... [23:31] .avi, .mkv etc. those are just containers and the actual rip quality is more dependant on the codec used right? [23:31] thx. I did some research but didnt come up with anything helpful [23:31] gluxon: If you burn a new one make sure to do a "md5sum /dev/cdrom" etc. Or verify boot option. [23:31] rumpel_ "screen" was not recognized as a command [23:31] I'm trying to set up rdp between ubuntu hosts...what's the best way to do that? [23:31] There are many, but I want the best compatible with ubuntu [23:31] moparirc_X7PFk, apt-get install screen [23:32] okay :( [23:32] DrJanItor: what doest dmidecode -t processor show for current speed ? === feh is now known as oogs [23:32] I'll try to get a new cd and use that.. [23:32] what format and codec is the best for absolute quality? [23:32] DrJanItor: maybe: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=181721 [23:32] Does anyone know how to open port 22 on a wireless network [23:32] I think it might have been the Expo marker I labeled it with :/ === imlad|away is now known as imlad [23:33] linxeh: Well there it actually says 650Mhz [23:33] so you can't write to NFS drives? [23:33] it mounts only as read only [23:33] h.264 codec is what i am using, but i can select mkv, avi, ogm as well, then a series of codecs, just hoping to learn a bit about them [23:33] fretegi_part_2: You encoding CDs or something? [23:33] yea dvds [23:33] mcurran: if you use a router you will need to read your manual, if not then it is open [23:33] or trying to lol [23:33] ActionParsnip: thx I'll have a look [23:33] fretegi_part_2: Handbrake is what I love to use. [23:33] thats what i am using [23:33] fretegi_part_2: MP4 [23:33] hey how can I mount my phone's sd card? [23:33] erUSUL: even if I did that, the list of cached applications often changes [23:34] ok great, why do u like mp4? just trying to learn a bit [23:34] gOLDfeesh: Plug it in :/ [23:34] gOLDfeesh: just insert it in to your sd reader it should mount automatically [23:34] DrJanItor: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=234114 [23:34] linuxguy2009: love, there's a love bot factoid :) [23:34] fretegi_part_2: Cause its fast and looks good. [23:34] ok what codec? [23:34] gluxon, doesn't seem to be detected [23:34] histo, ^^ [23:34] DrJanItor: http://www.overclock.net/linux-unix/439899-cpu-speed-ubuntu-wrong.html [23:34] fretegi_part_2: you might ask in #mplayer [23:34] looking for post install help for LiveUSB persistent [23:34] oh perfect thanks [23:34] fretegi_part_2: better ask on #mplayer channel [23:35] fretegi_part_2: I use the ffmpeg rather than the AVC/x264 format. Faster. [23:35] gOLDfeesh: do you see the partition in: sudo fdisk -l [23:35] !love | sebsebseb [23:35] sebsebseb: Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come. [23:35] gOLDfeesh: Ah... [23:35] ActionParsnip, yes [23:35] ok gotcha, how is quality? [23:35] You have the old, classic SD card error :) [23:35] ActionParsnip: Unfortunately there is no cpufreq directory in the /proc/.../cpu0 dir [23:35] gOLDfeesh: then mount it manually if it hasnt [23:35] can i cut videos using ffmpeg and cli? [23:35] .. [23:35] That's not good ; [23:35] :( [23:35] ActionParsnip, not sure how lol. [23:35] gluxon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:35] histo: :) yeah I think linuxguy2009 has seen it before, hence why I didn't pm to him [23:35] kavurt: what do you mean but cut? [23:36] !mount | gOLDfeesh [23:36] gOLDfeesh: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [23:36] gOLDfeesh: why the "lol"? [23:36] sebsebseb: Seen what? [23:36] reason i am asking is i have a commercial recorder that records in ffmpeg, however handbrake looks far better with h264, not sure why, trying to learn [23:36] ActionParsnip, why not [23:36] !love > linuxguy2009 [23:36] linuxguy2009, please see my private message [23:36] histo: I want to remove some parts of a video [23:36] gOldfeesh: It's not ubuntu, it's your computer. [23:36] It doesn't support your SD card. [23:36] gOLDfeesh: its fairly pointless, justr wondering if it was as needless as I am imagining? its not especially funny.... [23:36] So ubuntu can't detect it. :( [23:37] gluxon, it's not my computer because it used to mount in Windows [23:37] oh really? :( [23:37] I have so many problems with SD cards :P [23:38] how can i reset all my usb devices [23:38] linxeh: so what does the discrepancy between /proc/cpuinfo and the dmidecode output mean? [23:38] gOLDfeesh: if the fdisk output shows the partition you can mount it manually and you can access it as normal === boss_ is now known as coded1 [23:38] fretegi_part_2: x264/AVC takes longer to encode but if you use the same bitrate compared to ffmpeg MP4 you get better quality. Or you can acheieve the same quality at a lower bitrate. Its a tradeoff. [23:38] guys, I just upgrade to 9.1 and my drives wont auto-mount via fstab. Anyone experience this or know how to correct? [23:38] ActionParsnip, how can i reset all my usb devices. like..so udev re-reads all the usbs. [23:39] bae: yes that's an issue or simpally it's a feature [23:39] why is it so hard to create an adhoc network in kubuntu?! [23:39] bae: oh I am thinking when you try and access a partition and it want's your password [23:39] gOLDfeesh: sudo rmmod usb_storage; sleep 5; sudo modprobe usb_storage [23:39] Can someone with a quickcam or quickcam express send me their xorg.conf? [23:39] tahnks for ur help guys [23:39] Ryan9104: webcams arent defined in xorg.conf [23:39] bae: check out the release notes there might be something useful [23:40] DrJanItor: good question; its not uncommon for cpuinfo to be wrong though, but I dont know why [23:40] !notes | bae [23:40] bae: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [23:40] sebsebseb: ok ya sounds different. looks like my swap wont mount [23:40] DrJanItor: lots of p3/p4 servers at work reported incorrectly [23:40] bae: swap won't mount hmm [23:40] bae: I think it's swapon in the terminal or something to turn swap on [23:40] ActionParsnip: Well I believe I can't get my webcam to get registered as a device. [23:40] bae: and your swap should just work [23:40] DrJanItor: fwiw, my core2 processor reports 1200mhz (its supposedly 2.8ghz) [23:41] Ryan9104: if you run: lsusb you will get an 8 hexadecimal character ID code, websearch that [23:41] ActionParsnip: It is under lsusb, but I can't get it to show up in any programs so I think I need to specify the drivers or something. [23:41] linxeh: ok. well that's strange. but also it sure doesnt feel like its running at 650 Mhz [23:41] am i likely to lose data if i add a label to my disc? [23:41] ActionParsnip: I've googled for probably 20 hours total now, had support in here and nobody could help, I've read everything. [23:41] can anyone help on how to get banshee 1.5.2 installed on my system? i can't figure out how to get it from either synaptic or the tar file. [23:41] hullo: Probably not, but which disk or partiton? [23:42] sebsebseb: i may need to add the bootwait options (reading through the release notes) [23:42] hullo: main disc [23:42] I need help with vpn, please!! [23:42] rick__: Whcih version of Ubuntu? [23:42] DrJanItor: what if you run something cpu heavy and check it ? [23:42] hmm.. for somet reason it didn't reset everything I have like 5 ttyACM* [23:42] karmic [23:42] Ryan9104: whats the lsusb code? [23:42] rick__: ok easy open the terminal [23:42] basically the uuid dissapeared so grub no longer loads it [23:42] rick__: sudo apt-get install banshee [23:42] Ryan9104: what is the out out of ls /dev/video* [23:42] Well I went into my router settings and I enabled all ports, but yet I'm still getting port 22 denied message - I even tried connecting to the gateway and still no dice? [23:42] so i figure i will add a label, configure grub to load by label [23:42] linxeh: also from a quick look at the default kernel config i think the speedstep stuff should be compiled in [23:42] ActionParsnip: 046d:0870 [23:42] hullo: oh messing around with Grub can go bad [23:43] sebsebseb will that work as synaptic still shows 1.5.1 available and i have 1.5.1 installed right now [23:43] hullo: Grub or Grub 2? Karmic or? [23:43] DrJanItor, I need help with vpn, please!! [23:43] ctmjr: /dev/video0 [23:43] Karmic [23:43] linxeh: any proposals? I tried firefox, which takes several minutes to start, even though theres a reasonable amount of RAM (512 MB) [23:43] rick__: that command will install a package from the repo, if it's not already installed [23:43] sebsebseb: its pretty simple (in theory heh) i dont know why this disc lost its uuid [23:43] rick__: that will install banshee, if you don't already have installed [23:44] hullo: clean install of Karmic or an upgrade? [23:44] upgrade [23:44] hullo: ok so you got the old Grub? [23:44] anyone else having or had an all black screen after booting into liveusb persistent 9.10? [23:44] vpn problem [23:44] yeah sorry [23:44] the dell page (http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/linux_3x?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs) lists the Mini 10v as having Ubuntu 8.10 [23:44] how to eject my cd ? Virtual Box did the install and now it needs unmounting apparently [23:44] Ryan9104: if you do not have a tv card then that is your webcam if you have vlc then you can open it to test [23:44] us this still true? [23:44] !grub | hullo [23:44] hullo: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [23:44] ibrahimmufeed: not sure if a can help, but whats the problem? [23:44] *is [23:45] Ryan9104: tried: sudo modprobe quickcam_messenger [23:45] coachz: CD for what? and look at the options you get for the running vm [23:45] ctmjr: the only thing that comes up in Cheese for example is a device named Camera [23:45] how do i move things around on the panel in kde [23:45] I followed all the steps, and I am connected on Ubuntu 9.10 but I can not access any resource and I can not PING even [23:45] my vm is shutdown [23:45] kcj1993: try #kubuntu [23:45] coachz: do it in the vm settings then [23:45] kcj1993, try #kubuntu [23:46] darthanubis: we both put same thing [23:46] ActionParsnip: where you are getting that, make sure it is a recent date because the drivers are built into the kernel now so all support threads are outdated. [23:46] ActionParsnip: will try though [23:46] sebsebseb, ') great minds and all [23:46] There is a serious problem with dd [23:46] darthanubis: yeah I was thinking that as well, great minds think a like [23:46] sebsebseb, where? it doesn't show a cd in the VBoxGT [23:46] Ryan9104: dont know and dont care, try it, if it doesn't work, emove the module. Its free to try [23:46] coachz: look around the settings, you can unmount your CD [23:47] It is 100% incapable of writing to a floppy disk. It says it's transferring the data, but the disk is unchanged. The light never comes on. [23:47] DrJanItor : I followed all the steps, and I am connected on Ubuntu 9.10 but I can not access any resource and I can not PING even [23:47] not many replys on #kubuntu [23:47] nope [23:47] Ryan9104: you can also try: sudo modprobe v4l1-compat [23:47] coachz: click on the vm, go into the settings for it [23:47] i'm there [23:47] coachz: click on the vm as in the list [23:47] i did [23:47] ibrahimmufeed: is the vpn connection established? [23:48] ahhh [23:48] yes [23:48] change media [23:48] ActionParsnip: neither have any output. [23:48] coachz: CD/DVD-ROM [23:48] coachz: press that [23:48] I saw above someone mention a Dell Mini. Does someone here need help with one? I have one myself if they do. [23:48] coachz: and unmount it [23:48] DrJanItor yes [23:48] Ryan9104: They won't. No output means no problem, You are supposed to try cheese in between [23:48] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/d53abd0a3 [23:48] ActionParsnip: I did. [23:49] i have a choice of /dev/sr0 or none, i picked none and it's still mounted [23:49] Ryan9104: make sure you rmmod one of the modules, having 2 modules for the same thing will cause issues [23:49] coachz: ok well try #vbox for help [23:49] i'll just reboot the stupid computer [23:49] it's faster [23:49] coachz: or that [23:49] Is there a good way to take sbm.bin and write it to a floppy? [23:49] coachz: ,but maybe you put on auto mount? [23:49] And have linux actually do it... outside of it's imaginary world? [23:49] ibrahimmufeed: did you ping an IP address or host name? maybe it's a DNS resolution issue. [23:50] anders, did you work for HFW once upon a time? [23:50] Ryan9104: ok cool [23:50] looking for live usb persistent help (post installation) computer boots - but screen totally black. [23:50] DrJanItor: I tried to ping but nothing received at all [23:50] !usb | masterfishslayer [23:50] masterfishslayer: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [23:50] masterfishslayer: Which version of Ubuntu? and which graphics card? [23:51] ActionParsnip, did you get my pb? [23:51] masterfishslayer: I haven't done one myself, so this is only basic trouble shooting [23:51] The thing is... it was working fine after several reboots (version 9.10) [23:51] tada ! [23:51] yay! for coachz [23:52] thanks for the help, driving me to drink [23:52] Ryan9104: theres this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3856516#post3856516/but its said to be unstable [23:52] masterfishslayer: They run the same as from the hard disk? except it's from a usb instead? [23:52] wife just turned off laptop - eversince cant see desktop. [23:52] gOLDfeesh: yeah, doesnt mean much to me [23:52] I want to disable a user to bee able to right click the desktop, is that posible? [23:52] ibrahimmufeed: Yeah ok. well it is hard for me to tell because what you can or cant ping depends very much on your network setup [23:52] jolaren: why? [23:52] jrib; kiosk setup [23:53] Ryan9104: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/88231 [23:53] DrJanItor thank you so much :) [23:53] jrib; I'm running Pessulus, works fine but I want to disable the right click function [23:53] ibrahimmufeed, maybe try a netstat? [23:53] jolaren: read the admin guide at library.gnome.org though I'm not sure that is covered. nautilus is responsible for the desktop [23:53] or nslookup [23:53] ibrahimmufeed: sorry [23:53] sebsebseb: you have any ideas? [23:53] billiard_junkee what is netstat [23:53] masterfishslayer: not really, but which graphics card you got? [23:54] !netstat [23:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about netstat [23:54] don't know? [23:54] how do i look [23:54] jrib; I'll try to google some more [23:54] I am trying to guide a friend through install atm, bear with me. He installed Ubuntu (9.10) on a Slave drive and has a broken windows install on the Master drive. Apparently Ubuntu didn't install grub to the MBR of Master drive. Is there a guide anywhere for how to install grub2 from the live CD in this type of situation (ubuntu on slave)? [23:54] jolaren: the admin guide at library.gnome.org is worth a look [23:54] jolaren: I think they have a section called "locking down" [23:54] masterfishslayer: nevermind stick around, ask your question again a bit later, and hopefuly someone else can help [23:54] I got a question about ACLs here - How do they integrate with the UGO permissions within Linux? Who takes priority? [23:54] ibrahimmufeed, it's a utility that will show you what connections are listenening connected and the ports that they are connected through, among many other things [23:54] Surprisingly, i see AKONADI intalled in my ubuntu which i dont remember doing, anyone knows why? [23:55] sebsebseb: thanks anyways [23:55] mrXX: you use kde. kde uses akonadi ? [23:55] ibrahimmufeed, 'man netstat' I would say tat 'netsat -ar' should show what you want to see === curtis is now known as Guest35693 [23:55] seUSUL what is kde? what program is it [23:56] !kde | mrXX [23:56] mrXX: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [23:56] Man - has anybody ever set up ACLs on Linux?? [23:56] !kde4 [23:56] KDE 4.2 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2.2 and http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2.3 - Support in #kubuntu [23:56] !info eiciel | Roasted [23:56] Roasted: eiciel (source: eiciel): graphical editor for POSIX ACLs and extended user attributes. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.6.1-3 (karmic), package size 445 kB, installed size 1036 kB [23:56] mrXX: I think it's 4.3 now [23:57] erUSUL - already using eiciel. Hoping I could find somebody who has more experience with it to help me. [23:57] billiard_junkee, I issued netstat -nr and I got results, one of them for my destination [work domain] but how can that help me to resolve the problem. I do not know! [23:57] Roasted: that's not me sorry [23:57] ibrahimmufeed, forgive me, but in the mix of everything, I forget what you were trying to do. I just remember that you could not ping....that is why I mentioned netstat [23:59] billiard_junkee, I established a VPN connection to my work network, and I am connected. However I can not access any resource or even ping the work domain! [23:59] Anyone know how to share the desktop with Vinagre over the internet like when I need to help my uncle out. Do I just need to enter his IP address as the host? [23:59] Roasted: iirc normal unix permissions become part of the ACL ones (default I think) but it's been a while since I played with ACLs. Did you check « man setfacl » ? === NiSoOo is now known as Guest98975 [23:59] !vnc > linuxguy2009 [23:59] linuxguy2009, please see my private message
