[00:01] anyone had any joy getting the "seek" to work in rythimbox [00:03] i dont really want to install VLC when i have a working mp3 player already [00:03] hi , could you provide me a link of a HOW TO get the source code of SORT command? [00:04] Hi there, does anyone have any experience of installing driver for Ati x1400 mobile in ubuntu ? [00:04] i have 2 questions thats really really bugging me [00:04] and it makes me have to log into windows which i hate [00:04] !ask| seanscot [00:04] seanscot: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[00:05] mMezquitale, what should I be looking for (I"m somewhat clueless when it comes to networking) [00:05] yeah [00:05] cheers bottu [00:05] Hi everyone: If want to upgrade a package - in this case Ruby - do I want to apt-get remove, then apt-get install the new one? Or just apt-get install over the new package? Further, what of dependancies? [00:05] anyone know how to get the seek to work in rythimbox? [00:05] anyone use mp3s on ubuntu ? [00:06] So yeah running ATI drivers with x1400 mobile on karmic koala [00:06] seanscot: Mp3s need gstreamer, or libxine [00:07] seanscot, seek should work just fine in rhythmbox [00:07] I'm wondering is there anyone that has a problem using iBus to input Japanese in flash input boxes? [00:07] ElorTegle: I believe ati no longer supports drivers for x1400 - see http://tan-com.com/posts/technology/fix-ubuntu-904-ati-driver-issue [00:07] seanscot, have you installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras packages? [00:07] is this a bug? [00:07] yes [00:07] or my settings is off? [00:07] still doesnt work :( [00:07] Thanks, freevryheid [00:08] xtsuname: do you have an example? I want to test it out [00:08] seanscot: gstreamer plugins as well - there a quite a few [00:08] seanscot, are you trying to play mp3s directly from your mp3 player? [00:08] ElorTegle: essentially means downgrading the driver - I have a x1200 and it works OK with the open source driver - much improved over Jaunty [00:08] hello [00:08] trism, I'm using a site called nicovideo.jp I'll try looking for another one === freevryheid is now known as fvs [00:09] Are there any downsides to downgrading ? [00:09] no , from my hard drive [00:09] but it wont seek [00:09] seanscot, hmm. strange [00:10] ElorTegle: you'll need to freeze all X upgrades so that they don't overwrite your downgrade [00:10] poseidon, it all depends on your router, you want to take a look at the routing table in your router when it gets all slow, if you type ¨route¨ in a terminal that is how itś supposed to look like in your router, if you see more than one route then something is wrong, thatś why rrebooting your router fixes the routing table [00:10] Ahh thats good to know [00:11] ElorTegle: what fps are you getting by running glxgears? [00:11] I am on wifi behind a firewalled router. i want to install a software firewall, but without it interfering with anything..does anyone have tips [00:11] hey guys. I'm using Ubuntu.

[00:13] !es [00:13] 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. [00:14] mMezquitale: evince is the default pdf *viewer* [00:14] tnk [00:14] xtsuname: yeah I found another flash app to test it in and it doesn't work, also found a bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/472787 ...since flash isn't open, will probably have to wait for adobe to come up with some sort of fix [00:14] Helsinkiii, if you want to install a software firewall it will not interfere with anything, you will have to learn about iptables though, just install the firewall on your ubuntu box and configure iptables [00:14] The windows installer, it will do the same thing as a CD right (I can use it to repartition and add linux to an etbook withotu a cd drive)? [00:14] is there a simple way of disabling my mousepad? [00:14] trism, thing is, I can copy and paste it.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:15] xtsuname: it is probably because ibus hooks into the gtk/qt/x text fields, but flash is creating it's own instead of using one of those, so ibus can't hook into it [00:15] Interesting it seems like my opengl and 3d support is working. However now i should try wine like eve online [00:15] xtsuname: but they still support unicode so you can copy/paste just fine === poseidonpp is now known as poseidon [00:16] pc500, can you state the task you are trying to accomplish and what you need help in?

[00:46] uberspaced, can i extend the extended partition, since it only contains my ubuntu install, and thats the entire partition [00:46] * edoceo-fluorine has to downgrade back to 9.04 - looks like 9.10 is not ready for business use [00:46] test [00:46] geht [00:46] works [00:46] exco: what did you overwrite? [00:46] hi guys! I'm running eclipse(3.5.1) on ubuntu koala(9.10). when I open Help> Install New Software> and I choose "work with" galileo or any other source, but the contents are not shown on the screen below. but when I click on the random places, the details screen shows the details. So it's just that the text is not displayed. Any suggestions, please? [00:46] CountDeMonet, what issue are you having [00:47] Bilz, what you're asking to do is relatively complicated and I can not guarentee there will be no data loss. [00:47] you may need to read up on resize2fs and screw around with fdisk or something [00:47] McLovin: certain windows in gnome are garbled/displayed incorrectly [00:47] im getting: channel_setup_fwd_listener: cannot listen to port: 5950 [00:47] ChogyDan1: I think Windows 7's bootloader in /dev/sda2 [00:47] McLovin: visual effects are off [00:47] ahh your kidding... it took me so dam long to set this up :'(! cheers [00:47] CountDeMonet, what version of ubuntu are you running [00:48] McLovin: 9.10 [00:48] that worked, thanks a lot guys ! [00:48] uberspaced, is it possible to backup my system completely, format, and then simply "copy" everything back onto my new partition, or will something break? [00:48] exco: well, it is probably not fixable. You probably need to recover the windows boot loader with windows tools :( [00:48] Bilz, ideally when you "back something up" it allows you to recover from something breaking [00:48] hello [00:49] if you copy everything off, and then repartition and copy everything back, I don't see what could go "wrong" [00:49] CountDeMonet, do you have fglrx installed ? [00:49] ChogyDan1: I tried the boot recovery from the Seven setup CD - that detects the Seven installation, but doesn't fix the boot record [00:49] español?

[00:49] having an issue installing google sketchup 7.0 in the latest Wine [00:49] uberspaced, my swap is encrypted too, how do I get rid of that? [00:49] thanks [00:49] CountDeMonet, sorry do you have it installed correctly? [00:49] cafree, now I don't know about encrypted swap set up automatically for you [00:49] McLovin: not sure, the install configed it for me [00:50] exco: so windows no longer boots? [00:50] so you're on your own for that. maybe check /etc/fstab and see where swap is being mounted [00:50] maybe it's under /dev/mapper, but who knows. [00:50] having an issue installing google sketchup 7.0 in the latest Wine [00:50] hey guys. i'm having trouble installing 8.04 LTS server for AMD64 on a fairly new Dell T105. The installer says it can't mount the cdrom. I had this problem a couple months ago and (according to the post-it I wrote at the time) fixed it by adding 'sata_nv.adma=0' to the boot line (F6 at the bootloader) ...but now when I add that It says, "Unknown option sata.nv.adma=0, ignoring" [00:50] uberspaced, to be honest my whole set up the partitions is a complete mess. my knowledge of it isnt that great, but i can see that after playing around with the partitions my /dev/sda3 will go to sda2 or sda2, and my linux-swap partition will change etc. its that the worries me mainly [00:50] ChogyDan1: no, I can now boot from grub in /dev/sda to grub in /dev/sda2 where it was previously booting win :-( [00:51] Bilz, then why don't you just reinstall everything and have the automatic partitioner in the install process take care of that for you? [00:51] I'm trying to use lftp to upload a folder to my ftp server. I'm logging into the ftp server just fine, I cd into the directory I want. Now--I want to upload recursively my folder on my local machine named 2009. I do: mput 2009/ . # bu tnothing happens [00:51] any ideas? [00:51] I installed PHPMyAdmin to my server [00:51] How do I get to it [00:51] through a webbrowser [00:51] blacknred0, mput 2009/* . ?? [00:51] does the which command take wildcards in the variable strings? [00:51] exco: have you tried running the windows recovery command? [00:52] uberspaced, nope [00:52] :( [00:52] uberspaced, it took a lot of hard work to get everything on the laptop :| and workng right. maybe ill get rid of the linux swap for a bit and try to back up and install ubuntu in there, and if its successful ill just reformat completely and hope for the best. but, there is no easy way for me to do what imj asking this [00:52] ChogyDan1: like in XP? [00:52] McLovin: just installed it via synaptic [00:52] Good morning :) [00:52] it's funny how /etc/passwd doesn't contain any passwords lol, historic naming convention ftw [00:52] Help: sound just stopped working after reboot: Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit running through Onkyo receiver after running rhythmbox last time for the first time. [00:52] McLovin: any config required to make sure it works/ [00:52] i need help on being put in the right direction for a program that will have like a virtual keyboard because my laptop numbers dont work [00:52] Bilz, you need to read about it and get good at it. I can not guarentee that my advice won't screw you up. [00:52] ChogyDan1: I only tried the automated recovery from the Win 7 CD ... don't know of a different way - but will ask google [00:53] can you look in package manager for fglrx and see if the fglrx all the appropriate packages are installed [00:53] How do I get to PHPMyAdmin? [00:53] hello, I have a harddrive I cannot access anymore. right now im running ubuntu off the cd and it gives me an error. this used to be my main hard drive that I ran ubuntu off of but it never boots anymore [00:53] exco: it used to be foxmbr in XP. IT is different for windows 7. I don't know what it is. You will likely have to recover grub2 afterwords [00:53] anybody know why after upgrading to 9.10 all the videos i watch in vlc the colors are way off normal? [00:53] Bigbucks: try http://localhost/phpmyadmin [00:53] hcook: You try "adma=0"? [00:53] CountDeMonet, once everything is installed it should work without further config [00:53] AgentBlair, as root, fdisk -l. If the partition doesn't show up on the drive, you're hosed. [00:54] cmd prompt> [00:54] does not work [00:54] taim, sure did, as well as 'options sata_nv adma=0' and 'options adma=0' [00:54] it shows up, I have two partitions that show up in the explorer [00:54] my keyboard numbers dont work is there a program to install like a virtual keyboard [00:54] Bigbucks: did you restart apache2? [00:54] ChogyDan1: I don't have a problem recovering grub ... but I think I might not be able to recover the system from what I've done ;-) [00:54] when i type pgrep gnome-power-manager no pid is listed, but when i type ps aux | grep gnome-power-manager it is displayed [00:54] I can [00:54] McLovin: ok cool. its finishing the install now. im guessing a restart of X is required? [00:54] if I want to find the path for a binary/executable but I don't know the full name, how can I attempt to find it? [00:54] seidos, shorten your pgrep to something like "pgrep gnome-pow" [00:55] CountDeMonet, once everything is installed just do a restart and you should be on your way [00:55] and see if it shows up. you may be running into a character limit on length of process name for that program. [00:55] McLovin: thanks. ill let you know if it went well [00:55] CountDeMonet, ill still be on here after your restart if it does or does not work [00:55] uberspaced: that worked. weird [00:55] Please help: sound just stopped working after reboot: Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit running through Onkyo receiver. problem started after running rhythmbox last time for the first time (which was fine) and then rebooting (which included file check).

[00:56] Xodiac, you mean on screen keyboard? [00:57] i guess pgrep has a maximum of 15 characters [00:57] keith__, define safest. [00:57] knoppies: yeah [00:57] seidos, ah. [00:57] how do i delete chat messages in empathy [00:57] can someone recommend me a good irc client? [00:57] empathy was letting ppl I had blocked msg me :( [00:57] PHPMyAdmin does not work!

[01:32] my fstab doesn't contain any mounting for the benefit of ecryptfs [01:32] !undelete | adminewb [01:32] adminewb: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [01:32] and I have an automatically mounted directory [01:32] so how does that work? [01:32] hello whenever I plug in my headphones in my laptop my speakers make this super annoying click every 20 seconds [01:32] erUSUL: i'm sorry, maybe that's the wrong name for it, specifically i'm trying to see if multiroute caching is enabled in my kernel and if not, how to enable it [01:32] hedkandi, are you useing autofs? [01:33] uberspaced: I dunno [01:33] davebs, look in /proc/net for a file similar to that. [01:33] cool, thank you [01:33] hello whenever I plug in my headphones in my laptop my speakers make this super annoying click every 20 seconds it never used to do this before on any other versions of ubuntu as I am using the latest one. I have an hda nvidia chipset with pulse audio now frontlining everything [01:33] davebs: you mean the kernel config ? look into /boot/config-$(uname -r) [01:33] hedkandi, what specifically is the problem? [01:34] I've looked all over and no one has this specific instance of the problem [01:34] ummm, just got 9.10... where did the menu.lst go? [01:34] SeaPhor, new grub :( [01:34] I want to disable the auto-mounting of my ecrypt filesystem [01:34] SeaPhor: grub2 doesnt have menu.lst [01:34] I dunno how it operates [01:34] hedkandi, there is /etc/init.d/*crypt* [01:34] and also /home/.ecryptfs or something [01:35] erusul: i think so, i'll take a look at that, i think i'm probably in over my head messing w/ the kernel, but i guess it's a good time to learn... [01:35] if you remove /home/.ecryptfs/username and chmod 755 /home/username [01:35] Billiard, hmm when I right click-> properties it reads "on the desktop" and folder "inode/directory", it was mounted automagically by attempting to view its content [01:35] i am trying to enable 3rd button emulation (by hitting left & right buttons simulataneously) i followed: http://www.pubbs.net/samba/200904/59839/ but it still doesnt work ideas? [01:35] along with stopping those daemons and running update-rc.d to remove them it should stop the encryption. [01:35] ok,,, how do i get the "pae" kernel? [01:35] saruji: ok so its not mounted automatically on boot, you will want to add an entry to your fstab so it is [01:35] nothing in etc/init.d [01:36] Billiard, ok I know how to do that...I think [01:36] hedkandi, ls /etc/init.d/*crypt* [01:36] Billiard, but the content of my /home/username will be there? [01:36] hiuyiuho [01:36] saruji: copy over your current home directory first, at least i would [01:36] SeaPhor: server kernel is pae. but isd better to use 64 bits [01:36] uberspaced: what are you saying? [01:36] Billiard, ok [01:36] saruji: copy each username directory into the root of the partition that you want to be your /home [01:36] hedkandi, are you using a terminal for any of this or what? [01:36] Billiard, ok [01:37] pointy clickie? [01:37] saruji: use a command that keeps the permissions the same [01:37] uberspaced, yes [01:37] erUSUL, can i get the pae fort the 32 bit? [01:37] Billiard, you mean use a command to keep the permissions the same? [01:37] I am trying to get my Acer camera to work on karmic [01:37] ls | grep crypt [01:37] press alt+f2, then type "gnome-terminal", then hit enter. then type "ls /etc/init.d/*crypt*" [01:37] is there a trick it worked on UNR [01:37] SeaPhor: yes use the server kernl as already told you. [01:37] with the stars? [01:37] Billiard, you mean use a command to keep the permissions the same, command for moving you mean? [01:37] saruji: isnt that what i said? [01:37] hedkandi, yes, with the stars. [01:37] saruji: yeah [01:38] hello whenever I plug in my headphones in my laptop my speakers make this super annoying click every 20 seconds it never used to do this before on any other versions of ubuntu as I am using the latest one. I have an hda nvidia chipset with pulse audio now frontlining everything [01:38] ok wildcards. [01:38] But I did a grep [01:38] Billiard, sorry, yea, what is the command? [01:38] Hey there, I'm having an issue with my Lenovo T500 on linux. My wireless networking worked fine when the Live CD was in, but now that I have it installed I can't connect to my wireless network [01:38] saruji: id have to look it up, not sure if cp can do it rsync can [01:38] nothing, like I said [01:38] no such file [01:38] hedkandi, what version of ubuntu are you on? [01:38] Billiard, so if I apt-get rsync i should be able to right? [01:38] karpet [01:39] what the hell is that? numbers, man. [01:39] lsb_release -a [01:39] Linux william-laptop 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [01:39] Billiard, what should I do after I do that? [01:39] ok, still doesn't tell me ANYTHING about your version of ubuntu. [01:39] Description: Ubuntu 9.10 [01:39] saruji: i think rsync is default, there is a flag to preserve permissions [01:39] I think they've given up on init.d haven't they [01:40] they are using services now [01:40] or something [01:40] hedkandi, and you really don't have anything under /etc/init.d/ that's named like "crypt" or something? [01:40] yeah [01:40] hedkandi, no, they havent. [01:40] erUSUL, but how do i get just the kernel? open the iso? download the same 2.6.31-14-pae from kernel.org and compile it? do you know a better way? plz help i want to do this the right way [01:40] bah. I gtg. [01:40] saruji: and flags for preserving username and group [01:40] no really [01:41] SeaPhor: sudo aptitude install linux-image-server [01:41] saruji: sudo rsync -a /home/* /mnt/newhome/ [01:41] !info linux-image-server | SeaPhor [01:41] SeaPhor: linux-image-server (source: linux-meta): Linux kernel image on Server Equipment.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.31.14.27 (karmic), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all) [01:41] g__, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/442463/comments/4 [01:42] saruji: -av if you want it to print the files as it copies them. [01:42] anyway, does anyone know what the login keyring is for? [01:42] I think it's the way the login is implemented. [01:42] I think the system will allow you to login if the gnome-keyring-daemon grants access to the login keyring [01:42] I reckon that's why it's there. [01:43] geirha, thank you, what is in /mnt/newhome/ dir? Is that where my new drive should be then? [01:43] Thank you erUSUL [01:43] saruji: thats where you have it temporarly mounted, its probably in /media [01:43] saruji: Replace it with the path to where the new partition is mounted [01:43] saruji: why do not you follow the step by step instructions i've given you ? [01:43] saruji: this ones uses gui programs for most things http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome screenshots and all [01:44] how do i get x to run in 16 bit instead of 24/32 in 9.10? [01:44] erUSUL, I dont trust it, as it read that it is for those who did not create a /home directory when installing [01:44] saruji: exactly your case. you did not created a separate home parition when installing [01:44] erUSUL, I know probably sounds stupid but i'm a nooob [01:45] test [01:45] saruji: but apparently you know better ... [01:45] ok [01:45] what's .bash_profile? [01:45] erUSUL, no I didnt, no no, i just read it different [01:45] Are there any other useful tools in terminal like (Ctrl I) [01:45] hedkandi: one of the two conf files of bash [01:45] I did the windows installer and it rebooted; ran through the install process; but then when I try to start Ubuntu it just shows SH: Grub [01:45] Just found that today, man was I missing out [01:46] erUSUL, let me try what these guys are saying and I'll give that site a go if this doesnt pan out [01:46] I can't find my bash_profile [01:46] hedkandi: ~/.profile [01:46] Should I just burn a CD this time and reinstall? [01:46] hedkandi: ubuntu doesnt have one by default afaik [01:46] ok [01:47] Billiard: ~/.profile [01:47] erUSUL: yea, not a .bash_profile [01:47] I can't find it [01:47] this ~/.profile [01:48] but ecryptfs says that it puts some code in there. [01:48] hedkandi: ~ is you home [01:48] hello [01:48] hedkandi: how are you looking [01:48] do you guys know anywhere i can download the driver for the synaptics multitouch touchpad? [01:48] i want pich to zoom [01:48] mcurran: the tab key does the same thing. Ctrl+r will let you search for previously run commands [01:49] ls -afl | grep profile [01:50] hedkandi: if your cd is your home and you dont see it, you dont have a .profile [01:50] how do i get x to run in 16 bit instead of 24/32 in 9.10? [01:50] hedkandi: copy it from /etc/skel if you want the default [01:50] geirha, the command saruji: sudo rsync -a /home/* /mnt/newhome/ gave me error "permission denied"? [01:51] exactly but ecrypt says it uses it [01:51] is there any way i can switch from ubuntu32 to ubuntu64 without reinstalling? [01:51] geirha, sorry sudo rsync -a /home/* /mnt/newhome/ [01:51] can i run compiz in Ubuntu NetBook Remix ? === root is now known as Guest2883 [01:51] chatter, yes [01:51] sakekasi, nope, ubuntu is not bsd. i mean there's a way but its just easier to reinstall [01:52] saruji: where is your newhome located? [01:52] id rather not reinstall usser_ [01:52] Billiard, /media/* [01:52] saruji: did you change that part of the command when you ran it? [01:52] how can i switch usser? [01:52] Billiard, yes [01:52] for some reason karmic cannot see my sound card or my camera. Live disk had audio but native does not. Camera also worked under UNR. Anyone have a direction for me to look. Acer AO751h. [01:52] saruji: what was the exact command you used? [01:52] hey guys... [01:52] Billiard, got ya your saying user error hang on lemme try again and pay attention [01:52] !hi [01:52] 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! [01:53] !hi > Eskmm [01:53] Eskmm, please see my private message [01:53] it was sudo rsync -a /home/sergei /media/Storage [01:53] thanks ubottu@! [01:53] hmm i did.. [01:53] I have a question: there is a file that you can modified the "automatic mount" the partion on start up. What is its location? It has been a long time I haven't installed the os so I dont remember. [01:53] sorry for bad grammar [01:53] saruji: i think you want just /home but im not an expert with rsync [01:53] Billiard, k lemme try [01:53] kbp which ubuntu version? [01:54] sakekasi: 9.04 [01:54] Billiard, permission failed [01:54] kbp ok [01:54] kbp try installing startup manager [01:54] Billiard, lemme read up on it [01:54] saruji: what type of partition is your newhome ? [01:54] kbp that shud let u change ur default os [01:54] Billiard, ext4 [01:55] kbp, /etc/fstab [01:55] sakekasi: ????? my question is: which file can I modify to make the "automatic mount" on startup ... [01:55] Billiard, ok it copied the files [01:55] yea that's it [01:55] kbp: /etc/fstab [01:55] kbp then i have no idea [01:55] thanks usser_ and sakekasi [01:55] Billiard, but gave an error that a file /home/*/.gvfs was not copied [01:55] saruji: what was wrong? [01:55] Billiard: :) [01:56] Billiard, user error in reading "douh!" [01:56] saruji: you dont want .gvfs [01:56] saruji: thats fine [01:56] Billiard, ok cool so what now? [01:56] alias bishop [01:56] saruji: what is located in /media/Storage now ? === stephen is now known as Guest37488 [01:56] saruji: .gvfs is a virtual filesystem that just points to everything else on your system to gnome apps can find everything both on-disk and on (for example) samba shares, easily [01:56] ok [01:57] lalala [01:57] Billiard, /home/* maco thank you [01:57] saruji: you should have a directory for your username inside /media/Storage [01:57] does anyone know how to connect to Iccup's battle.net irc? [01:57] Billiard, I have /home/username is that ok? [01:57] with xchat [01:57] ok another question: which command to show the UUID of all partitions ? [01:58] leaving bbak [01:58] saruji: ls /media/Storage [01:58] Billiard, also there is dir called "lost+found" what is that? [01:58] saruji: every partition has that [01:58] saruji: thts where things go if the filesystem is corrupted by a bad shutdown and it cant figure out how to put them back [01:59] =D [01:59] Billiard, home lost+found username [01:59] does anyone know which command to show the UUID of all partitions ? [01:59] maco sweet thank you, i love learning more and more about this [01:59] saruji: ok and username is the name of your username, ok now you said you know how to add a line to fstab [01:59] kbp, blkid [01:59] kbp: have you tried blkid? [02:00] saruji: wait, you have home inside your /mnt/Storage ? [02:00] Billiard, well ok yes, I just add mount /directory at the end right? [02:00] hmm [02:00] usser_ , Geheimdienst : command not found (I'm using the linux recovery disc) [02:00] Billiard, yes I have home, but thats probably because I first tried to copy /home/username and then /home [02:00] saruji: you should not have a /mnt/Storage/home [02:01] Billiard: if saruji backed up ALL of /home, that makes sense [02:01] kbp, take a look at /dev/disk/by-uuid [02:01] maco right thank you, Billiard yes thats right [02:01] kbp, those are symbolic links pointing to real partitions [02:01] maco: he shouldnt have /home inside his new home, thats what we are trying to accomplish here, make a new home dir [02:02] hello every body , can some one tell me is this link real and working or its fake ( http://yoten.blogspot.com/2007/04/speed-up-ubuntu.html) [02:02] Billiard: ah this isnt just a bacup? [02:02] how can i change my computer name, and workgroup via terminal [02:02] hello every body , can some one tell me is this link real and working or its fake ( http://yoten.blogspot.com/2007/04/speed-up-ubuntu.html) [02:03] cmp: outdated [02:03] cmp, real, although the 1st one will not work on 9.10 [02:03] usser_: it shows a lot of uuid but I just need the one of /dev/sda11, is there anyway to determine which one is it? [02:03] maco: no he is making his partition his home [02:03] kbp, ls -al | grep sda11 [02:03] kostkon, what do you mean - i use ubuntu 9.04 [02:03] cmp, ah ok [02:04] cmp: profiling, preload, parallel boot...thats all builtin in 9.10 [02:04] cmp: i dont think the first will work in 9.04 either. i dont think ipv6 is built as a module in 9.04 [02:05] hi [02:05] maco, so if i tried to do it to speed up my system - is it ok ? [02:05] cmp: its DNS resolution thats slow on IPV6 if you lack IPV6 access though. for that you can simply disable IPv6 DNS by commenting it out in /etc/hosts [02:05] what slows down is that apps use v6 by default [02:05] Anyone else running Karmic 9.10 on Acer AO751h [02:05] usser_: permisson denied even though I'm on root, wth ? [02:05] and only fall back to v4 after getting a connection error [02:05] cmp: #2 is included in 9.04 for sure, because thats the entire point of Upstart [02:05] lol @ acer [02:05] shentino: but if they cant get a DNS lookup for v6 they cant try to connect over it ;-) [02:05] youtube site not opening on my sys? [02:06] you mean no need to do it maco, ? [02:06] cmp: right [02:06] oh, so is there any other and correct way to speed up my ubuntu 9.04 maco, ? [02:07] usser_: dw it works fine now :) thanks alot [02:07] it could be that the v6 timeout is what slows it down [02:07] 有会中文的吗 [02:07] cmp: 3 of those are boot optimizations. they wont affect the running system. 9.04 and 9.10 had a lot of focus on boot-time optimization.

[02:09] hmm [02:09] cmp: it means how much your computer writes from ram out to disk. the less it does that, the shorter it takes to switch tasks. but also the fewer tasks can run at a time [02:09] hey [02:09] who here knows how to build computers? [02:09] cmp, how aggressive Linux will be in using swap [02:09] cmp: because the hard disk acts like a VERY SLOW (100x slower) bit of extra RAM [02:09] linux is very aggressive when it runs out of memory [02:09] cmp, a value of 0 would mean try not to use any at all [02:10] =[ [02:10] im unloved [02:10] if it runs out of memory and swap it kills at random a task [02:10] jesus loves you :) [02:10] how do i register myself on the ##C++ channel?

[02:14] coolkehon, test it on another computer? [02:14] my suggestion to 9.1 is dont install [02:14] was hoping to avoid that [02:14] SeaPhor, in /boot/grub? [02:14] ive had bad luck with it [02:14] would mean i would have to shutdown [02:14] only registered one cpu of my intel atom 270 [02:14] i'm thinking about switching back to 9.04 [02:14] cmp: i use rsync on the command line. rdiffbackup can do incrementals. if you want a gui, look at FlyBack [02:14] I wouldn't be wiping my 9.04 partition [02:14] SeaPhor, you sure you are using grub2?

[02:19] I am not a fan of those guided installs tbh. [02:19] hey could someone do "echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH" for me [02:19] I come from FreeBSD. [02:19] this is new. [02:20] im able to send inside lirc with my mceusb but unable to trasnmit [02:20] If I install ubuntu 9.10 and set it to mount my existing home partition at /home, will it delete or overwrite any of my existing data? [02:21] i get a hardware does not support sending error [02:22] I'm trying to register but it keeps telling me my email is not valid [02:22] what do i do? [02:22] kcj1993, ask in #freenode [02:22] ok [02:23] in /dev, what is the difference between all of the sdx and sdx1 and sdx2, etc? [02:23] saruji: those are different partitions [02:24] andreanadelphon, sda and sdb are right? but what about the diff between sda1 and sda? [02:24] saruji: sdxy: the x is the physical drive, the y is the partition number [02:24] what Flannel said =) [02:24] Flannel, ah thank you [02:24] I am using proftpd, I have passiveports set to 63900-64000 in my .conf file. I am trying to match the outgoing ftp data traffic for shaping purposes, and I thought thats what the passive ports were used for, am I wrong? === Guest17287 is now known as eniacpx [02:26] boy this box is not liking me no audio and no web cam [02:26] how would i uncompress a .bz2 file in terminal ? [02:27] eniacpx, passive ports are used to transfer data to/from the ftp server when the server and the client make connections in passive mode [02:27] orudie: bunzip2 foo.bz2 [02:27] Billiard, what should my mount point be? /media/Storage/username? [02:28] usser_, so if I match on packets with source port #'s within my passive range, that should be the outbound data, correct? [02:28] no [02:28] eniacpx, it may not always be the case, usually by default ftp servers are configured to support both passive and active and mode. passive mode needs data ports to be opened on the server. active on the client [02:28] saruji: no [02:28] saruji: in your /media/Storage you should only have lost+found and username, correct? [02:28] eniacpx, as long as the packets are outgoing, ie the ports in passive range are the source [02:28] Billiard, or just /home [02:29] Billiard, yes === Administrator is now known as Guest36193 [02:29] eniacpx, there's also 22 port which is used to transfer ftp protocol commands. [02:29] eniacpx, err 21 port [02:29] 110 [02:29] Billiard, so if its /media/Storage it would be mounting itself right, so I want to mount it in /home? === Guest36193 is now known as GUOLOVLY [02:29] saruji: then an fstab line such as /dev/sda2 /home ext4 defaults 0 2 [02:30] Billiard, ahh sweet thank you....I was close [02:30] Billiard, in my mind anyways [02:30] any easy way to revert all network-related config back to isntallation defaults? I think I've managed to muck things up pretty badly =P === andreanadelphon is now known as andrean [02:31] Billiard, ok done now I am complete right? As the mount point will go to my /home dir [02:31] Billiard, i mean my sdc1 will go there [02:32] saruji: yea [02:32] Billiard, I cannot thank you enough, I will reboot and come back, in case I dont, thank you!!! so much [02:33] is there a way to disable the running bar when shutting down?

[02:40] Dual Monitor Plug And Play on Ubuntu http://saulocastelo.net.br/wordpress/?p=76 [02:40] Tutorial [02:40] Hi all. I've got a question, and google hasn't helped: My laptop screen brightness is dimmed when I resume from standby. The problem started after upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10. Anyone heard about this issue? Any suggestions for debugging (e.g. particular error log files that might give me some hints?) [02:40] SeaPhor: is compiz turned on my default? i haven't messed with it since a fresh 9.10 install [02:41] further info: "Dim display when idle" in "Power Management Preferences" is unchecked for both AC and battery tabs [02:41] josh0x1, yes, System Preferences, Appearance, visual effects----- none === arooni_____ is now known as arooni [02:42] I would really appreciate any suggestions for the next steps of debugging. Anyone? [02:42] SeaPhor: ok i turned it off, I still get [02:43] Waldo000000: you are able to change the brightness back up after it is dimmed ? [02:43] still get a xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed error [02:43] josh0x1, with ati gfx, you may need a reboot,,, ati=sux [02:43] Billiard: Yes [02:43] josh0x1: nvidia driver 185 [02:43] wait... josh0x1 ... [02:44] josh0x1: i can try to reboot but I think i've turned that off before with no success [02:44] <_Trinity_> hi all [02:44] (on a previous installation.. at one point I had my max resolution working a long time ago, never had to do anything special for it) [02:45] josh0x1, why you using xrandr? have you updated the install #1, #2, are u using the restricted drivers in "Hardware Drivers"??? [02:46] Waldo000000: more of a hack, but you could make a script that runs when the system resumes from hibernation to set the brightness back [02:46] <_Trinity_> is there a ufw or gufw channel somewhere? Three's none heer on freenode. [02:46] josh0x1, and plz dont tell me you downloaded the drivers from nvidia and using those [02:47] Billiard: Thanks. But before I do that (probably as a last resort), do you (or anyone) know of any log files, etc., that might give me a better idea of what's going on, so I can either fix it or if not file a thorough bug report? [02:47] Waldo000000: i have no idea [02:48] Found Him^^ [02:48] SeaPhor: no i downloaded the one from apt and no drivers show up on hardware drivers but display settings makes me use nvidia x server settings. I restarted after installing the driver. I'm trying xrandr so I don't have to keep restarting my computer to try different resolutions [02:48] I get really poor performance burning cds. My computer slows down to the point of locking up. Is this common, or am I alone? [02:48] Billiard: ok thanks anyway :) Anyone else heard of issues with a laptop screen being dimmed on resume from standby (after upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10)? [02:49] Waldo000000: mine does that also. Not noticed a 'fix' [02:49] hey, my gnome-panel is unresponsive and has graphic artifacts [02:50] stays in the same state when i reboot [02:50] Waldo000000: I saw mine do that a couple of times. Didn't bother me, hadn't even thought of it until you brought it up [02:50] ChogyDan, that is not "normal" [02:50] is this a known bug? i'm using the intel video drivers [02:50] josh0x1, ok,,, you jumped the gun then,,, after you update you' should see them in System>Administration> Hardware Drivers 185(recommended) [02:51] SeaPhor: right -- i've seen this before but for some reason I don't now. I recentlly uninstall everything nvidia before installing it again.. now even after installing it I don't see it. [02:51] teamcoltra: thanks. Maybe it is my mobo drivers.... [02:51] quinten, open a terminal and type "killall gnome-panel" to force it to restart, see what that does [02:51] SeaPhor: xorg.0.log shows that nvidia driver is being loaded tho [02:51] <_Trinity_> just a question, does ping have to have a port open to ping outwards? [02:52] ChogyDan, yeah I mean I odn't know what the problem is... but I do know its not normal :P [02:52] josh0x1, i sec, i have new install of 9.10 also, letme look a sec... (i'm beginning to hate 9.10) [02:52] teamcoltra: but you can burn a cd, and still use your computer at the same time? My burns happen quote slow too, at only 4x [02:52] hai u all [02:52] re all, i've got a question regarding the ISO's downlaodable from ubuntu.org: are they livecds or just installers? === sha is now known as Guest64490 [02:53] <_Trinity_> because I just set ufw tightly and I can't ping out [02:53] SethX: desktop cd = live cd [02:53] SethX: depends what you download, most are liveCD's [02:53] SethX: Desktop = live w/ installer. Alternate = text-based installer [02:53] also, second question, can somebody tell me if those cd's contain acer_wmi kernel module? [02:54] hh [02:54] here is my xorg.log: http://dpaste.com/124344/ [02:54] josh0x1, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:54] iiii [02:55] <_Trinity_> or is ti the https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ufw/+bug/188934 bug [02:55] hey, what was the min reqs on 9.04 and does ubuntu still have the download somewhere on their site [02:55] at least that hasnt changed,,, just for the sake of changing...

[02:56] Dr_Willis: musikgoat maco , could you tell me if you have acer_wmi in the kernel modules?

[02:59] Helps to get file name right. :) [03:00] bye all [03:00] if you do, stick with 8.04 josh0x1 ... stick with the LTSs [03:00] SethX: yes, 9.04 is using the 2.6.31 kernel [03:00] SeaPhor: thanks for the suggestion.. i just hope this package helps [03:01] mkay [03:01] thx [03:01] :) [03:01] ok, thanks all. guess i'll try looking for a fix again in a few weeks [03:02] My middle mouse button stopped working on upgrade to 9.10; cat'ing direct from /dev/input/mice yields data on any other mouse motion or button press, but nothing at all from the middle button; likewise, xev and the like deny any activities.

[03:43] the http proxy [03:43] they swim brianherman [03:43] burningatrocity - have you changed the permissions for the *.sh file? [03:43] HP OfficeJet Pro L7700 [03:43] I don't understand all that stuff [03:43] i mean squid the http caching software [03:43] how do I change permissions for sh? [03:43] squid-cache.org [03:43] burningatrocity right click file, permissions tab, check "allow execution" [03:44] burningatrocity: try it this way sudo sh ./ hplip-3.9.6.run [03:45] D_K_2, or,, does xhost + work in ubuntu? [03:45] still getting the same thing [03:45] anyhow .. I managed to make the installer find the right hard drive, by disconnecting the second hard drive. Would have been nice if it allowed me to select the drive from inside the installer. [03:45] it says it can't open it [03:46] i have a HP officejet pro k5400 and i didnt do any download drivers, i connect and ubuntu have the drivers to work [03:46] I'm having a resolution problem. I only get 600x800. I've added resolutions manually via command line, but they dont stay. I edited xorg config, but the changes never work. Any ideas why? [03:46] well I tried connecting, and it needs drivers, ubuntu couldn't find them automatically, so I tried going to HP, and this is where I've gotten to [03:46] burningatrocity have you tried what ctmjr suggested [03:46] I can get higher resolutions via command line to work, but when i restart they revert back to 600x800 [03:47] D_K_2 yes I did [03:47] getting the same thing no matter what [03:47] has anyone else been really pissed since safari online went to a flash interface? [03:48] What is the best netbook to use with ubuntu? [03:48] hi to all. I need some help please. Some body here knows if the is any log file where I can see any error message at the boot time? I installed start-up manager and I put it to "show text during boot". Now I seeing an error message about: ERROR: pdc: identifying /dev/sda, magic_ and a bunch of numbers... [03:48] burningatrocity http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html [03:49] I recently had some HDD Problems and had to run a e2fsck -c on my drive to mark the bad blocks, it has been "Updating bad block inode" for well over 36 hours and is now using 700MB of ram. should I be worried? [03:49] burningatrocity: are you in the dir. you download the file to? [03:49] ok I got it now, thanks for all the help, it was a user error [03:49] lol [03:49] Hi, I'm having difficulties getting back online after a fresh install of 9.10. I tried installing ndisgtk, but that returned with "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: ndiswrapper-utils-1.9." I am attempting to use a USB connected WUSBG54 Linksys wireless adaptor. Any ideas? [03:49] I messed up, but I got it working onw [03:50] burningatrocity - have you read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=903436 [03:50] no I didn't but I'll check it out, though I did get it working [03:50] burningatrocity lol kk [03:51] ou? [03:51] is there a way to further increase touchpad sensitivity past what the slider in mouse settings will allow? [03:51] Geoff__ i have that usb adaptor [03:51] nzapp, Thinkpads work and Dell has an Inspiron for Linux [03:52] Geoff__ it used to need ndiswrapper but hasent needed it in 2 releases [03:52] Geoff__ but ill try to verify that [03:53] nzapp, google for Linux hardware [03:53] D_K_2 Alright. yeah, it had been a while since I upgraded. The first upgrade went wrong, and now I'm trying to get it connecting again. [03:53] Thanks, I'm looking at the dell's now [03:54] nzapp, my Dell came with Ubuntu on it [03:54] <_Trinity_> anyone know their ufw here? [03:54] hello. Can someone help me out? [03:55] D_R_2, if you sent me a message in the last 45 seconds, I accidentally logged out of my program. [03:55] <_Trinity_> I added -A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type echo-reply -j DROP to /etc/ufw/before.rules in an attempt to drop incomming ICMP packets [03:55] all the hardware worked out the box? [03:55] if so that is awesome [03:55] And I mispelled the name. [03:55] anyway whenever I try to boot my ubuntu machine grub opens a command line interface and I cannot boot [03:55] Geoff__ lol, was reading [03:56] <_Trinity_> but I don't see an example of this on the net. Anyone know if that would work? [03:56] D_K_2 Haha, alright. [03:57] anyone? [03:57] Geoff__ - check under restricted drivers after you plug it in, if it aint there and you have no wireless signals to connect to ( or if it doesnt even let you get that far) you might wanna try ndiswrapper. i remember usb54g working outta the box since 8.04 i believe, but maybe not on your system(??) [03:57] takes me like three swipes of my touch pad to get the cursor all the way across the screen... [03:57] How do I set a package through dpkg as manually installed? So that dependencies don't freak out [03:58] Ibw: apt-mark [03:58] Ibw: or try to install it with apt-get install and it will mark it for you [03:58] D_K_2 how would I check restricted drivers? I can see wireless signals, it just won't fully connect to them. [03:58] Geoff__ and you can get ndiswrapper from synaptic [03:58] how is it that out of all these people here no one is willing to help me out? === GodsHawk is now known as nso [03:59] jmsthing678: what did you do before it stopped working? [03:59] Geoff__ if you see wireless signals but cant connect the usb54g is working, its prolly a problem with the rncryption [03:59] can somebody help me on how to get the cursor position in ubuntu using python and i know but nobody is talkin in the python chat [03:59] Billiard: I'd love to install the package I need (mercurial) through apt-get install, but the version in the Hardy repos is way to old for what I need, so I am going to have to install from source [03:59] I had to power it off manually because it froze during open arena === nso is now known as GodsHawk [03:59] D_K_2 It's difficult to download using synaptic when the computer doesn't have an internet connection ;-) [03:59] can somebody help me on how to get the cursor position in ubuntu using python and i know but nobody is talkin in the python chat [03:59] apt-mark will let me tell dpkg not to worry about dependencies? [03:59] Geoff__ hahaha that makes sense [04:00] Things that rely on mercurial? === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [04:00] wcf3[2nh--------- [04:00] D_K_2 So how do I fix this rncryption problem? [04:00] mmm- why would a network card show up as eth1 and not eth0? it's not a problem... just kinda odd [04:00] Ibw: ifaik apt-mark will just mark/unmark it as manually installed [04:00] I'm not sure if this is a bug or something, but each time I resume from "suspend" mode, it the computer loads up the contents of my SD card, as if it was newly inserted [04:00] Billiard: ok, and a manually installed package will work out when other packages are resolving dependencies? [04:01] I simply wanted to report it, for whoever might care [04:01] Ibw: i dont think its what you want now that you said you are compiling from source, you should upgrade from hardy [04:01] Geoff__ im guessing you have some WEP bullsh!t built in to your modem/router? [04:01] Billiard: I could, but my computer had serious issues with Jaunty === chatZilla__ is now known as chatZilla [04:01] D_K_2 Yeah I do. [04:01] ahhhhh so much better... [04:02] jmsthing678: try booting from a live cd and use fsck [04:02] Geoff__ umm 128 bit encryption, and type the 10 alpha-numeric code in for your router [04:02] Geoff__ you tried that? [04:02] so just run fsck in terminal? [04:02] jmsthing678: well more than just "fsck" [04:03] well I guess repair any errors and such too [04:03] right? [04:03] D_K_2 It recognizes the need for a need for a password, and I typed it in, it just won't connect afterwards. [04:03] jmsthing678: what are you asking? [04:03] Situation: PC Server running vmware ESXi4 with a locally attached DVD burner and a Linux VM running on it. Is it possible to burn a CD/DVD from that Linux VM? [04:03] Does anybody know anything about squid-cache ? [04:03] hey my synatic package manager is broken and i need help! can somebody plz help me?? [04:04] after running fsck allow it to fix errors and such right? [04:04] Geoff__ gimme one minute, lemme check something out [04:04] hey my synatic package manager is broken and i need help! can somebody plz help me?? [04:04] What /dev/sda device is partition #4 on? [04:04] ...if that makes sense [04:04] D_K_2 Alrighty. I'll just keep busy looking for splash images. [04:04] jmsthing678: yes i would try that, you will have to run "fsck /dev/partitiondevicename" [04:04] osx /dev/sda4 [04:05] hey my synatic package manager is broken and i need help! can somebody plz help me?? [04:05] what if i dont know "partitiondevicename" [04:05] ? [04:05] HilBilly thanks [04:05] jmsthing678: or fsck.ext3 if its ext3, is better [04:05] rance94: broken? [04:05] l [04:05] jmsthing678: "blkid" might help you [04:06] Grub is failing to install on my Ubuntu partition. [04:06] k [04:06] Geoff__ im trying to see what opyions i have when i get the WEP box, but i dont wanna switch connections and go offline [04:06] Billiard yes lol it kept saying there was an error and it couldnt run and finally i ran a script in terminal and now it is working. it had to reconfigure or something lol thx for asking though it is much appreciated :) [04:06] rance94: ok [04:07] Hmm [04:07] D_K_2 Makes sense. Oh, I think it's a WPA2. Run from an Airport Extreme router. [04:07] yep [04:07] If ubuntu is partition #4, and that makes the device /dev/sda4, why does GRUB installation fail? [04:07] osxdude: which grub, which filesystem type, which ubunu version? [04:07] since i just installed ubuntu 9.10, is there something wrong, or a fix since i cannot connect via PPPoE using the DSL portion of network manager [04:07] ive gotten it to work in older versions and mint 6 [04:07] now it just takes years to delete something :( im trying to remove eclipse but it is sllloooowwww deleting it [04:08] Billiard grub2, ext3, 9.10 [04:09] osxdude: how are you trying to install it, alternate cd/desktop cd? [04:09] Billiard: Alternate. [04:10] everytime i try to delete something it gets to 50% then stops it like freezes what do i do?? [04:10] osxdude: you put in /dev/sda4 for the device and it says failed? any specific error message? [04:10] rance94: does it work when you use "apt-get remove" from the command line [04:10] I just did an upgrade from jaunty to karmic, and the updater botched the job. Is there a way I can force-update my jaunty install to karmic by just changing the repository to karmic? [04:10] Billiard let me go try [04:11] Billiard: No specific error message, and i'm also not 100% sure that that is the device that Ubuntu is installed on >_< [04:11] whenever I play certain games the sound is very "crackly." If I look in Sound -> Preferences -> Applications it will show that the ALSA plug-in is flashing on and off for the specific game with sound issues (example chromium). Most sound works just fine. Any ideas? [04:11] Geoff__ ok, i dont know much about wpa2 (much meaning nothing) but i have a link to check out [04:11] Billard yeah it dosent work when i do it in terminal [04:11] Geoff__ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 [04:12] Firefishe: you can replace jaunty in the source list with karmic, but i would do a clean install [04:12] D_K_2 Thanks for the help! I'll check it out! [04:12] marksman: I had same problem and I turned off ASLA and everything is fine now [04:12] so from what I'm reading, a cluster is really different computers, not one... right? [04:12] osxdude: got make sure [04:12] jmsthing678, how do I do that? [04:12] Billiard yeah it doesnt work in the command line either :( [04:12] unrousable64: exactly [04:12] Billiard: Is there a way in the built-in BusyBox shell? [04:12] marksman:its usually an option within the game itself [04:12] rance94: it just locks up, it doesnt have an error? [04:12] Geoff__ its not much help but i hope theres a few clues in there for you [04:12] idk [04:13] marksman: what game is it? [04:13] cfedde, awesome... no other requirements other than the computers being networked to each other? [04:13] Billiard: Well, I have a lot on this particular box, and I don't have a karmic install cd just yet. I'm used to net-installs, so that wouldn't be a problem, but I'd like to be able to just install everything from where I am now, if possible. [04:13] jmsthing678, astromenace & naev [04:13] unrousable64: you need to decide what the cluster is for. [04:13] osxdude: well you could check the partition labels if you gave it a label, or filesystem types, or mount the device and see whats on it [04:13] unrousable64: select software, etc. [04:13] hello, anyone know how to reorder groups in empathy? is it not possible? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1305354.html (sorry if thats a repost, i think i wasn't "joined" yet when I typed that into irssi) [04:14] billiard ill tell u what it says: ould not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [04:14] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [04:14] Billiard: The updater also left my respositories in an in-between state, so I'm essentially screwed at this point. [04:14] marksman: idk about those but look in their individial settings, and also look for sound quality option and put it on the lowest setting [04:14] cfedde, I'm planning on building a small-scale render farm running ubuntu. [04:14] is there a way to change single icons in an icon set [04:14] anyway gtg [04:14] how do i find out how much l1 cache I have? [04:14] unrousable64: cool. using blender? renderman? [04:14] Billiard: thanks for the help [04:14] Billiard: well /dev/sda4 is mounted on /target, which probably means that that is the drive Ubuntu is on...right? lol [04:14] Firefishe: idk you could try changing your sources list, i would backup/clean install [04:14] rance94: did you close synaptic first? [04:14] Billiard: k...thaks [04:15] thanks [04:15] billiard yes [04:15] cfedde, blender, it's renderer, and drqeue :D [04:15] rance94: what was the exact command you used? [04:15] sudo apt-get remove eclipse === jonz_ is now known as jonzbcc [04:15] Billiard sudo apt-get remove eclipse [04:15] unrousable64: good luck! sounds like a fun project. [04:15] osxdude: i have no idea [04:16] rance94: you dont have a package manager running [04:16] cfedde, thanks :) [04:16] rance94: updates or anything? [04:16] idk [04:16] Hi, i have Karmic Koala over a VirtualBox 3 and i need share a folder with the Windows Host, i follow the steps in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/SharedFolders but im stoped in a protocol error ¿some idea? [04:16] Billiard: I'll try the desktop CD once it finishes downloading [04:16] osxdude: ok [04:16] Billiard i dont think so well i have like 200 updates to different stuff [04:17] just wanted to come in and say i love ubuntu. GREAT SUCCESS! [04:17] * osxdude boots into OS X [04:18] Billiard should i restart my computer and see if that helps [04:18] rance94: you could, if you force closed synaptic it might cause probs [04:18] Hello. If I use debuild -us -uc to build a deb package from source, can I run that deb package on other computer ? [04:18] what do u guys thinik of moblin [04:19] Billiard well i forced add/remove to close when it was deleting something was that bad [04:19] Billiard i forced closed because it froze up and would finish removing [04:19] hal? [04:19] questions about LVM in ubuntu... anyone familiar with this? [04:19] Billiard i mean it wouldn't finish removing [04:20] anybody from malaysia?? [04:20] anybody from malaysia?? [04:20] azizul: dont repeat yourself [04:21] should I take that as a no? [04:21] What is the point of your status on the user applet in Ubuntu. In a default install it's the button on the top right that allows you to logoff shutdown ect.. change status. What does it effect? Is it tied in with pidgin, empathy, some other program? thanks. [04:22] jrtroberts2 sorry [04:22] hi [04:22] Oddbio, I know it works with pidgin [04:22] Oddbio its tied to that telepathy [04:22] Oddbio empathy [04:23] Oddbio which i hate at its present state [04:23] oh ye?? [04:24] D_K_2: empathy can't do IRC can it? === PL|Snoozing is now known as PhantomLink [04:24] D_K_2, So it's a method to affect presence (available, unavailable, etc.)? [04:24] Oddbio lol i never even bother to try [04:24] ubottu, nickspam > PhantomLink [04:24] PhantomLink, please see my private message [04:24] greezmunkey im pretty sure, goes with the IM client [04:25] D_K_2, hmmm [04:25] sesape nak cakap melayu x?? [04:25] yeah, it ties with pidgin [04:25] o_o [04:25] and im assuming empathy [04:25] I was asleep, and now I'm awake. [04:25] D_K_2, Oh, I see... [04:25] D_K_2: It is ok, I will just have to do it the old fashion way--- READ THE MANUAL!!! 8D [04:25] ooo [04:25] greezmunkey just sems lazy but im sure its great somehow [04:26] Alright. Still having difficulties getting my wireless internet working. I can download onto a separate computer and move it via USB drive to the linux computer, but not directly onto the linux computer. I am running 9.10, freshly installed. I am using a WUSB54G wireless adapter attempting to connect to a secured wireless network run from an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station with a WPA2 encryption. Any ideas? [04:26] see2 [04:26] Geoff__: can you see the network? [04:26] jrtroberts2 - you could try a youtube vid or something, or just click buttons and see what happens [04:26] D_K_2, Heh! Also, I'm not sure I'd want anyone to know ;] [04:26] Billiard Yes I can. I can attempt to connect, but it won't actually fully connect. [04:26] it is a server install so there are menu's but no mouse and it mostly text driven [04:26] Billiard yeah, he cant connect with his wpa2 security [04:27] Billiard any ideas on the wpa2? [04:27] jrtroberts2 thats aweful, manual it is [04:27] i blame apple airport extreme [04:27] :( [04:28] #linuxac [04:28] Billiard - im thinking if he turns off security (temporarly) and tried to connect, he might get through [04:28] D_K_2: oh i thought you did try that and it did work [04:28] Billiard just as a test [04:29] Billiard not yet, but its worth a shot if he has access to it [04:29] D_K_2: i guess you could try and see if it works, but tahts not a solution and its not really getting you anywhere [04:29] D_K_2 Billiard : I'm just confused because I was able to connect on 8.04 (I think that's the one) with ndiswrapper with no problems. [04:29] Billiard i agree its not a solution but itll narrow down the problem [04:30] maybe [04:30] lol [04:30] buy intel card and linksys router [04:30] how hard is it to install ubuntu to my external hard drive insted of a usb flash drive [04:30] lol [04:30] I am new to debian. Will the 64bit work on my Core2duo E6420? [04:30] does anybody know where I can get gnome-globalmenu package for karmic from? [04:30] I mean ubuntu [04:30] webbb82: exactly the same [04:31] dome: yes [04:31] I saw it on the website but just wanted to make sure.. thank you Billiard [04:31] Billiard: Meh, we run 3 Macintoshes to my ONE dualboot linux/XP. I think I would lose that convincing my parents. [04:31] hey can someone help me with something? [04:31] tlol whats that bot command [04:31] !ask [04:31] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:32] thats the one [04:32] dome, I have ubuntustudio with 64 bit OS [04:32] can someone tell me how to burn DVDs in ubuntu? I have them saved as .avi files. I tried using k3b but it doesn't work, it keeps giving error messages [04:32] Is UbuntuStudio any good? I hate regular Ubuntu for recording music and use Windows. [04:33] ok one last question, can i install moblin along with gnomoe and kde then just switch to what ever one you want to use in the login sessions window???? [04:33] Space-Wolf, I use brasero [04:33] Space-Wolf id like a tuturial on that too, i cant seem to get it right either [04:33] Space-Wolf, you need to convert the .avi files to DVD format. [04:33] webbb82: you should be able to choose from the login window [04:33] * Blue1 uses nero 4 linux [04:33] I have that as well, but I tried it and it said that the movie file was not correct or something [04:33] space-wolf: set burn speed to minimum [04:33] I wish things just worked with Linux, like they do with Windows. I seriously do not understand the hatred of Windows. [04:33] billard but the moblin file is a iso [04:33] so as an avi file the movie cannot be burned? [04:34] Space-Wolf: you can burn anything [04:34] but can it be burned as a dvd movie? [04:34] eremite, I hate windows because they force you and the hardware vendors to go their way, creating a monopoly, with linux I have a choice [04:34] Space-Wolf some dvd player support *.avi playback, but not many older ones [04:34] eremite: virii [04:34] is there a tool that will check the integrity of a disk (not filesystem) to see if its failing? [04:34] has anyone installed tweetdeck via adobe air on 64 bit before? [04:34] eremite: i think more things "just work" on linux compared to windows [04:34] Space-Wolf yes it can be burned as a dvd but the avi has to be converted first [04:35] eremite, many of us get more use out of a *nix box than we ever got out of a Windows box. "doesn't work for me" doesn't equal "fail for everyone", remember... [04:35] okay well basically when I drag the file to the burning software it gives me an error message [04:35] doc-saintly: you'd probably have to get that from the hdd manufactureer site. [04:35] !boot [04:35] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [04:35] is that the discs fault or is something else wrong? [04:35] space_wolf yeah that aint gonna work [04:35] Well, we clearly have different experiences. With windows Ive never ahd to use a command line, use tech support or help chat like this nor have trouble with installing apps. [04:35] Space-Wolf: which burning software [04:35] I used k3b and brasero and neither worked [04:35] eremite, on that note, I have a machine that works great with linux, cd and dvd player, XP supports neither [04:35] eremite: which linux ive never had to download drivers [04:35] Blue1: thanks [04:35] the movie file has to be converted to DVD format (dvd format aint *.avi) [04:36] The command 'startx' is often used to start a Xorg screen. What is the best way to automate that without any window manager? [04:36] Windows = double click and be done. Ubutnu = 50+ lines in the terminal. Lets not forget that Ubuntu hates intel drivers for gamers etc. [04:36] I am on ubuntu jaunty on an IBM t43p. I have had no problems with sound with this install (back on hardy, yeah). Now it has mysteriously stopped working for firefox and amarok, but the system bell (ctrl-g) works fine. [04:36] I had a program called DeVeDe or something like that, does that convert to DVD format? [04:36] I recently ran a update to my karmic koala .... Now on reboot I get "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs" [04:36] leaf-sheep: you just want to run startx on boot? [04:36] eremite, you ever call microsoft for support? How far did you get without a credit card? [04:36] How I restore my system back? [04:36] I was watching hulu with firefox earlier today, paused it, went to resume a few hours later, video fine but no audio. I was busy so I didn't worry about it, just now I tried amarok and amarok says "xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers". [04:37] I've never needed support with a Windows machine. [04:37] puff, there's a bug somewhere, have you ever posted a bug?? I have the same problem too [04:37] whats that info program that will show you just about everything on your desktop, begins with a C i think? [04:37] eremite, intel drivers for gamers? I haven't heard of any gamers (real ones) using Intel graphics cards [04:37] mezquitale: I've posted a bug or two in the past, yeah. [04:37] did anyone get that aboutthe DeVeDe thing? [04:37] puff: have you tried re-starting firefox? [04:37] Billiard: That's right. I get to the virtual console at boot. To test the setup, startx worked great. I'm not sure about configuring that for automatic. Something about startx in .init-rc? [04:37] eremite: i never needed support with a linux machine, i think you should leave if you dont have a question [04:37] I am sure the system update screwed up my grub [04:37] Blue1: Not yet, but would that affect amarok? [04:37] Space-Wolf yeah devede will do it fo rya [04:37] puff: it can - [04:37] Space-Wolf or mandvd [04:37] leaf-sheep: you could put startx in rc.local [04:37] Hokay. [04:38] draconis, the same intel chips work flawlessly on the same machine, windows boot. On ubuntu boot all games lag, and its an intel driver issue that ubuntu is working on. [04:38] puff: i've problems with firefox and flash.... [04:38] okay so when I use devede what do I need to do? === lainy_ is now known as lainy [04:38] turn it into an ISO? DVd format? DivX? [04:38] I tried some of those but it looked as if the file conversion was going to take at least an hour for one movie, is that right? [04:38] Space-Wolf convert it into dvd format and it should burn [04:38] Space-Wolf: devede can make it an iso for you to burn to play in a dvd player [04:38] Space-Wolf That sounds not unlikely. [04:38] Kindly help!!! [04:38] Space-Wolf yeah converting takes a long time [04:38] Billiard: That could work. I will try it. Surely, that can't be the usual routine? [04:39] there's no way around it? [04:39] it's not ubuntus fault that intel builds their chips to work with windows? [04:39] puff, can you run the utility and post the results here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/486207 [04:39] eremite, this is wandering offtopic, but Win is hardly devoid of driver issues either, remember. [04:39] Billiard i found the problem i need java6 doc how do i install that?? [04:39] Blue1: Hm, firefox is taking a while to close that last window. [04:39] Space-Wolf nah just convert it === mike_ is now known as Guest79711 [04:39] mezquitale: I will when I've tried a few more things. [04:39] puff: what a minute if that doesn't try it, we'll try realkill (tm)! [04:39] okay, guess I'll have to be patient :P thanks a lot for the help guys [04:39] leaf-sheep: you could put something in /etc/rc*.d but if its just one command you want to run on start i would use rc.local [04:39] Space-Wolf or buy/rent the movie and copy it [04:39] yeah [04:39] Blue1: aka kill -9. [04:39] okay, thanks guys [04:40] Billiard i found the problem i need java6 doc how do i install that?? [04:40] puff, thanks, look at dmesg, you might find some clues there [04:40] rance94: install it from the package manager? [04:40] Space-Wolf good luck [04:40] puff: sudo pkill firefox [04:40] hello. anyone here can help with latex? i can't figure out where to put bst files... [04:40] Billiard no because i need java to run the package manager how do i get it from the terminial [04:40] Blue1: pkill? [04:40] good morning [04:40] mesquitale: Yeah, nothing obvious in dmes. [04:40] puff: process kill by name [04:40] rance94: no you dont [04:41] Billiard: startx does not work. :o I'll try su to pass it off. [04:41] Blue1: Ah, one of them newfangled commands :-). [04:41] Billiard well where do i get it at [04:41] leaf-sheep: rc.local is run by root [04:41] puff: indeedy! [04:41] I recently ran a update to my karmic koala .... Now on reboot I get "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs" [04:41] Blue1: Still hasn't died, okay, time for kill. [04:41] rance94: the package manager [04:41] Odd, two firefox processes. [04:41] lmao it wont run haha im screwed [04:41] puff: get out the realkill (tm) [04:41] puff, i think if has something to do with flash and sound [04:41] billiard im screwed that is the thing that is not working [04:42] mezquitale: I'm on a 64 bit system - flash is an iffy proposition.... [04:42] rance94: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin , maybe [04:42] No, kill killed it. [04:42] Normal kill just sends an interprocess signal to the process. Kill -9 tells the OS to yank the rug out from underit. [04:42] rance94: the package manager doesnt use java, you dont need java to use it [04:42] puff: is it dead? hint ps -ef | grep firefox [04:42] kill -9 the kill of death [04:43] greezmunkey: kill with prejudice [04:43] Blue1 Yeah, kill killed it. [04:43] ;) [04:43] latex help? plz? [04:43] Billiard well it is telling me i need it so lol im just gonna download it and see wtf is wrong [04:43] puff: try restarting ff - no guarentees [04:43] Blue1: Restarting firefox now. [04:43] Billiard: Thanks. That does work. I was skeptic about /etc/rc.local but I think there are init-related file that you can pop it in ~/ and will read from it. ;) [04:44] rance94: what is telling you need java for what [04:44] puff: the biggest problems Ihave with flash and firefox are with facebook - the scrabble game uses flash - doesn't work all the time... [04:45] Billiard idk im confused I have the package manager up but now it wont download crap because it has to configure java6-doc thing and yeah idk [04:45] * Blue1 can't wait till html 5 -- bye bye flash [04:46] Billiard it is telling me i need to download the java JDK [04:46] Billiard so can i use terminial to get it [04:46] rance94: what is telling you [04:46] the package manager when i try to download something [04:47] rance94: what is the exact message [04:47] puff: what's the verdict? [04:48] Blue1: Still get the amarok xine error, waiting to see if the flash plays properly. [04:48] Blue1: Nope. [04:48] puff: :-( [04:48] Blue1: It plays the video fine, no audio. [04:48] Time for a reboot I guess. [04:49] puff: yup I get that sometimes -- sometimes doing a gdm restart will fix ru on 9.10? [04:49] im trying download getlibs packages and it keeps saying command not found [04:49] puff: try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:49] trevor what is the command you are trying [04:51] Billiard, sudo getlibs -l libnss3.so.1d [04:51] hi, i wonder if there is anyone around with PAM expertise. i am writing a script that needs to use PAM ... have some question .... [04:51] it will not let me change user [04:51] trevor did you install getlibs? [04:52] i did [04:52] i think i did [04:52] billiard i cant copy and paste but it says: setting up sun-java6-doc (6-15-1)... This package is an installer package, It does not actually contain the JDK documentation. you will need to go download one of the archives: jdk-6u10-docs.zip jdk-6u10-docs-ja.zip (choose the non-update version if this is the first installation) please visit http://java.sun.com?javase/downloads/ now and download. The file should be owned by root.root and be [04:52] copied to /tmp [press RETURN to try again, 'no' + RETURN to abort] ------------ that is what it says [04:52] Hello. I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my Toshiba laptop. My audio wasn't working because the realtek chip wasn't set, or something. (From what I hear online this is a common problem) I fixed the problem, but only temporarily it appears because my audio is no longer working. Can anyone walk me through a permanent fix for this??? [04:52] rance94: try sudo apt-get clean [04:52] trevor check [04:52] Billiard, you know, i might not have installed them for 64bit, do you know the command perchance? === danl is now known as danl[off] [04:53] trevor sudo apt-get install getlibs [04:53] Billiard here is what happened :: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [04:53] couldnt find package getlibs [04:53] E: Unable to lock the download directory [04:53] rance94: close your package manager [04:54] trevor you are running 64 bit? [04:54] Billiard, trevor getlibs isn't in Ubuntu repo! [04:54] billiard ok i closed it now do u wont me to try again [04:54] ZykoticK9: what srsly, sorry trevor [04:54] rance94: yeah try again [04:54] Helpers! how can i play sega genesis in karmic? [04:55] trevor, get getlibs from http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/ [04:55] Billiard k i think something happend but nothing happened in the terminial [04:55] rance94: why do you think something happened then? [04:56] Hello I am running Ubuntu 9.04 on a Asus P5GC-MX/1333 with a eVGA 9800GT video card with HDMI (no audio) out to my Vizio VM60P TV. I just started using HDMI today after being on VGA (D-Sub) for the longest time. The only issue I have is that there is a purple discoloration on the screen. As far as I can tell from the forums, I need to specify a more specific modeline in xorg.conf that provides a refresh rate. Is this all correct? [04:56] idk lol i was being opptimistic [04:56] billiard i was thinkin positive [04:56] Also, how can I figure out what NVidia driver version I am using [04:56] Helpers! how can i play sega genesis in karmic? can anyone tell me which emulator works fine? [04:57] ZykoticK9, ok lets see if this helped [04:57] Blue1: I'm on jaunty.... I ended up having to reboot. [04:57] wolf23: gens ? [04:58] Billiard: it is not on synaptic? [04:58] ok that didnt help, does anyone know how to install tweetdeck on ubuntu 64 but? [04:58] Blue1: Amarok works now... I'm guessing flash will too. still, it's dang annoying. [04:58] bit** [04:58] wolf23: not sure [04:58] Blue1: The fundamentla problem behind most sound issues is that at the kernel level ther's a single, irrevocable handle to the sound card resource. [04:58] Blue1: So alsa, etc, basically run a daemon that grabs the One True Resource Handle and hands out proxy handles. [04:58] I'm on 9.10 and I'm having trouble playing a DVD... any suggestions? VLC won't play it... [04:58] trevor getlibs didnt work? [04:59] lhx_: install the restricted extras package? [04:59] Blue1: If something happens to the One True Resource Handle for sound, it has to be rebooted to free it. I've read list discussions saying they're working on fixing that at the kernel levle, no idea where it is. [04:59] they installed via the deb package, then i tried to isntall tweetdeck again and it didnt work [04:59] Billiard, maybe i should restart [04:59] Billiard: already did... not sure why it's not working [04:59] trevor didnt work? how [04:59] Billiard i think it is working now because im downloading wine and crap......... i need sun-java-doc because i dont have it and it says i need it. [04:59] lhx_ you installed libcss2? [05:00] trevor error or what? [05:00] gorgonzola: not sure... let me fire up synaptic [05:00] lhx_ wait, that's not the exact name... [05:00] Billiard, well from what i understand, to install on ubuntu 64bit you have to install the getlibs packages, i did install all so they should be there, but it just exits before install still [05:00] !medibuntu | lhx_ [05:00] lhx_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [05:00] selam [05:01] trevor what exits before what installs when you do what? [05:01] lhx_ libdvdcss2, is not in the regular repos, you can get it from medibuntu [05:01] hello [05:01] hello [05:01] lhx_ check for that, 'cause you need it for encrypted dvd playback [05:01] Billiard, the tweetdeck install exits before it finishes, i have adobe air installed, tweedeck is an adobe air application [05:01] gorgonzola: ty... i guess decss isn't in the repos any longer? [05:02] what is the best IRC client for Linux nowadays? I'm using Xchat for Gnome and don't care much for it [05:02] trevor does it have an error message when you try to install it from command line? [05:02] jabbajabba: try pidgin [05:02] jabbajabba: irssi [05:02] lhx_, libdvdread4 IS in the repo and just downloads libdvdcss2 from medibuntu without having to add the repo [05:02] How has experience converting avi to dvd? what program es good for this [05:02] songer: devede [05:02] songer: devede works, easy to use [05:02] jabbajabba, real xchat - not xchat-gnome - is far better than the -gnome version [05:03] ZykoticK9: i think i've already got that installed which is why I'm confused [05:03] what about mandvd? [05:03] lhx_, did you run the sh command after install? [05:03] ZykoticK9: no... [05:03] but i do have libdvdread4 installed [05:03] xcxzc, [05:03] zxcx [05:03] how many warnings are to be expected while compiling the current kernel? [05:03] can anyone advise to which packages i should downgrade or to any patches so that i can start X on my u9.10 install with monitor switched off? IgnoreEDID option seems not working just like DPMS off, Enable option, specifying modes in monitor section :/ [05:04] lhx_, install is useless without script -- which actually does the download / install -- searching internet, one moment [05:04] lhx_, run "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" [05:04] i'm reinstalling the .deb and wathcing console output [05:04] from what i've googled out, proprietary nvidia drivers might have another three EDID related options, but i don't have such card here and i don't want to buy just/because [05:04] ZykoticK9: thanks... i'll try it out in a second [05:05] Anyone here running ubuntustudio? [05:05] I don't get why it's such a PITA... licensing issues? [05:06] lhx_, of course... [05:06] Madpilot: i prefer using xchat myself aswell for many years .. but i hate having to switch off systray icon now on ubuntu .. because it has tendency to dissapear after few days .. and then i don't know any means to restore minimised xchat app :/ [05:06] anyone knows if there is any free plagiarism document checker application in ubuntu? === sysadmin is now known as Guest26430 [05:06] lhx_ yup. libdvdcss2 is covered by the DMCA or something like that. its distribution is not always legal etc etc. [05:07] lhx_ so... you have libdvdcss2, even if you didn't installed it by hand? [05:07] Church, I hate the systray thing for xchat, always disable it... an IRC client does not belong in my notification area. [05:07] brb... going to log out log in for path updates [05:08] Madpilot: i use only one gnome panel with everything, so i prefer to lessen ammount of stuff on it. including using xchat tray icon [05:08] ok im just giving up on tweetdeck for now [05:08] does anyone know why my system notification bubbles are appearing like a quarter of the way down the screen as apposed to the top where they should be? [05:08] back [05:09] hello. my question is as follows: if you have more gnome panels, would this make your pc perform less? [05:09] even if it's 1600x1200 here and 1920x1200@home, i have uncorrectable habbits to maximise screen estate usuable by apps :) === particleman is now known as Guest36007 === Prodego_ is now known as administrivia [05:09] like i want to save as much as possible.. [05:10] * Arnple says Hi [05:10] anyone here understands how texlive is installed in ubuntu? [05:11] Where is the Terminal profile settings stored? [05:11] crap... not working... thanks for your help zyco... i have no idea what the issue is... [05:12] Arnple: ~/.profile ? [05:12] I'm having a problem with fs-driver.org's thing, trying to read an ext3 hard drive on Windows XP [05:12] Arnple, you mean gnome-terminal? [05:12] the config detects the Ubuntu partition as an ext3 drive [05:12] and assigns it a drive letter [05:12] but windows still sees it as unformatted [05:12] whereas under Linux I can read it fine [05:13] any ideas? [05:13] particlemann: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:13] particleman: there's no solution to that. your ext is formatted with 128 bits while windows takes 64 or something like that. been there don't that :( [05:13] particlemann: try asking in ##windows [05:13] particlemann, pretty sure Windows can't grok ext3 without help... [05:13] Madipilot: Yep [05:13] well yeah...I installed the driver...oh [05:14] so even though the solution worked at one point, it no longer does? Is there a way to fix it in the formatting? [05:14] particleman: there's some fundamental incompatibility which details i don;t remember, that make it impossible to acces newer ext partitions under windows, disregarding the driver. i tried with ext2fs extensively. [05:14] particlemann: there is another ext3 fs for windows that i had better luck with [05:14] which one? [05:14] particlemann: sorry not sure, ill try googling [05:14] thanks, and much appreciated [05:14] Madpilot: Yep, gnome-terminal [05:14] particleman: i understand that you have to specify a formatting parameter when creating the ext vollume in order to use some legacy mode that will work in windows. [05:15] i wonder if there is some ext* driver for dokan lib (fuse for windows) [05:15] I actually remember when the switchover happened, and I've been really confused for the past year or two :P [05:15] hello. my question is as follows: if you add more than two gnome panels, does this decrease the overall performance (increase the memory allocated by the process)? [05:15] chea, yes, but you can't feel it :) [05:15] particlemann: maybe its ext2fsd [05:15] chea: Decrease, yes. In a big way, no. [05:15] Arnple, I don't actually think there is. No /.gnome-terminal, nothing under /.gnome/* [05:15] chea-I don't think so, but turning on all the desktop effects definitely does [05:15] Well I'm running with 256 sticks here. [05:15] I'm having a weird issue maybe some1 can help. Anytime I boot into Ubuntu my video card crashes and all I see is random colors on the screen. Doesn't do it with Windows, also was able to get into Fedora. Any clue what would cause this? [05:15] chea: shared memory pages lessen that ammount for several instances of same executables/libs [05:16] I'll try that, thanks [05:16] Church: oooh interesting [05:16] thanks [05:16] dezine: check /var/log/Xorg.*.log [05:16] Hi. I just installed 9.10 on my Toshiba and my sound isnt working. I looked online and found some terminal code that fixed it for a little whileand now it's not working. IDT it is detecting my sound card. PLEASE HELP. I need someone to walk me through a permanent audio fix! [05:16] I want to install Xubuntu as a secondary os (for backup/recovery or emergency use) on an old pentium 3 system with 1 gig of ram, how much space do you think I should set aside for the os and for the swap partition? Im trying to use as little space as possible for it while still keeping it running decenly, I won't be using it much. [05:16] particleman: maybe this is a good start? http://www.fs-driver.org/troubleshoot.html [05:16] particlemann: rtfm first, as i don't know if there is .. i myself use dokan+sshfs [05:17] dokan? [05:17] gorgonzola-I checked the troubleshoot page, and it was pretty useless for what I'm going through [05:17] oh. mistaken conversation thread :) [05:17] N-ether, what was the terminal fix that worked? [05:18] I cant remember... I think it was an ALSA update. and maybe some code that made alsa detect my realtek [05:18] particlemann: yeah you could give ext2fsd.com a try i guess, not sure if it will work any better, and i dont know if i would trust it for writing [05:18] Thanks Church, will try that [05:18] Anyone? [05:19] hello [05:19] can someone help me out for a minute in private [05:19] !ask | Kentoro [05:19] Kentoro: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:19] !ask [05:19] particleman: sorry, i can't find the ref for what i was saying before. but i remeber that problem clearly, as the same thing happened to me: it was working in some distro, and then all win drivers started bailing... [05:19] !ask | Kentoro [05:19] Kentoro, please see my private message [05:19] lol [05:19] oh hey [05:20] Ext2fsd works! [05:20] yay! [05:20] particlemann: cool [05:20] thank you! [05:20] particlemann: np [05:20] woa, that's good news :) [05:20] yeah [05:20] now I can restore my crap [05:20] im trying to install a game on my machine. Im brand new to linux and Im trying not to go back to windows. I am getting frustrated because the game came with bin files and i have no clue [05:20] and store my music (the main data I need to access from both partitions) wherever I want [05:21] hope no one here knows how to get bibtex styles to work? [05:22] ZykoticK9: dvd working! thank you... i just needed to remount the dvd for it to work [05:22] gorgonzola: still no luck with your LaTeX issues? [05:24] I have scoured forums and tried a few things [05:24] not working [05:24] hmm...if it's a Windows game, install wine first [05:24] s/hope/guess/ [05:24] I have wine and winetricks [05:24] Billiard: Any clue on why "su xbmc -c "synergyc --daemon --restart mps.local" wouldn't work in rc.local yet when I ran the command manually after sshing in... does? [05:24] ok...did you install wine from synaptic, or from source? [05:24] Kentoro, what game? [05:24] source [05:24] ohh... [05:24] runes of magic 2 [05:24] it says specifically it works [05:24] but problem is, it says runes of magic 1 works and how to do it [05:24] ok...someone may have to help me out here...if you install wine from Synaptic, it creates all the right associations automatically in Gnome-file-manager and whatnot [05:24] i couldnt find it in synaptic [05:24] wait [05:24] yes i did [05:24] I might have gotten it from synaptic [05:24] greezmunkey: I cant remember... I think it was an ALSA update. and maybe some code that made alsa detect my realtek [05:24] Kentoro: i would add the wine repo and install from the package manager [05:24] ok...well the graphical way to do it is to open up the install cd in the file manager [05:24] but in the folder it came in, I try to run the bin files using wine and it says file not found or somthing [05:24] oh [05:24] hmm [05:24] hey i've opened two mediatomb servers, how do i close one? [05:24] leaf-sheep: specify the whole path [05:24] how do I add the wine repo billiard [05:24] and package manager...thats heiroglyphics [05:24] Kentoro: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [05:24] Billiard: Oooh. You're right. [05:24] leaf-sheep: that might be why xstart didnt work also, if it wasnt working before i think you said === hemanth is now known as n0ob [05:25] Billiard: This is a different thing. === zeeek is now known as Guest76327 [05:25] ok yeah Ive done that billiard [05:25] lhx_, nice :) [05:25] Billiard: Also, I'm thinking... if I already have included su , I'm assuming that it already use the 's path. [05:25] any other ideas on how to install the game === Deep_Thought is now known as Jehovah [05:26] leaf-sheep: i dont think it does === Jehovah is now known as Bizkit [05:26] lhx_ nope. the documentation is not particularly friendly. i'm just asking once in a while in the hopes someone who has got it working notices it. [05:26] I have a folder on my desktop and in the folder are like 5 .bin files [05:26] I dont know how to open them [05:26] Kentoro: how would you do it in windows? [05:27] not sure, neever work with .bins [05:27] Kentoro: they are just data files for the game probably, you dont use them yourself [05:27] alright, so that is what came with the game, there are no other files [05:28] Kentoro: then the game isnt complete, if all there is is .bin's [05:28] ok [05:28] ill try redownload i guess [05:28] anyone know any good free to play mmo's that play well with linux [05:30] Kentoro, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_gaming#Massively_multiplayer_online_role-playing_games [05:31] where is skywalker... [05:31] should I use vmware or sun virtualbox ? [05:31] kvm [05:31] :D [05:31] lol [05:31] in my experience, vmware is ubercool. [05:31] Since we're temporarily on games, has anyone here been able to get python-poker-network to run properly? [05:31] and i mean, OMFG THIS PROGRAM ROCKS cool. [05:32] virtualbox is cool too :) [05:32] lol ok [05:32] You should be ashamed of yourselves. You must use something NATIVE. kvm it is [05:32] ill be runnign it on my win7 machine [05:32] so KVM I cant use [05:33] ne'er tried kvm [05:33] * freetown mumbles about Windows hypervisor support [05:33] will do, next time i need to virtualize something. [05:34] once I get used to ubuntu I will swap over to it. Only reason I stay on windows is because I play COD:MW2 and Counter-strike [05:34] * freetown wonders how wine fares with those... [05:35] Billiard: I can't figure out why this isn't working for me. Lack of X? Password prompt? [05:35] ive looked into it. seems it isnt too bad. I am no sure about the newest games though [05:35] leaf-sheep: what isnt working? [05:35] dome, what are they using now? DirectX20? [05:35] lol 11 is the newest [05:35] my card only supports 10.1 [05:36] Billiard: su xbmc -c "/usr/bin/synergyc --daemon --restart mps.local" [05:36] Sup cool kids [05:36] * freetown sticks of Phantasy Star Online [05:36] Billiard: There are also... su xbmc -c "startx" and that one works fine. [05:36] s/of/to/ [05:36] leaf-sheep: try using the full paths [05:36] leaf-sheep: for su [05:37] Billiard: I'm using the full paths. I only can execute it manually. When I do, it ask for password. [05:37] leaf-sheep: /bin/su [05:37] Billiard: Yeah, but su xbmc -c "startx' worked (with no full path). [05:37] anyone here worked with formatting large volumes? need some idea of how long it would take to format a 10TB volume with ext3 [05:37] leaf-sheep: id try it, idk [05:38] tck4, that could take a while, I'd propose doing it overnight. [05:38] tck4: 3-4 hours. I'm guessing in my head based on 2TB. [05:39] That's not that bad [05:39] I haven't had a chance to try Karmic [05:39] how is it? [05:39] devtrey: Functioning. [05:39] * freetown rotfl [05:40] devtry, in my experience, the smoothest transition ever. [05:40] IF you are not using Kubuntu [05:40] That's nice. [05:40] should i just install 32 bit, since 64 bit seems to have a few too many issues [05:40] with hardware raid controllers like dell's PERC, they have their own raid bios configuration that you enter during bootup with CTRL+R. if you configure say a raid5 volume with this, when you enter linux, it'll just show up as a single /dev/sda device? [05:40] haven't worked with hardware raid controllers before.. only software raid with mdadm. [05:41] I haven't installed ubuntu in a while, been stuck in windows, and my last install is borked [05:41] tck4, some hardware raid controllers need drivers [05:41] trevor: What particular issues? [05:41] So I hope that works. [05:41] Also, trevor left [05:41] tck4, like 3ware, Areca, ... [05:41] devtrey: Oh. ;< [05:41] the dell perc is just a rebranded LSI controller. [05:42] there is a LSI megaraid driver in the kernel so I guess you should be okay [05:43] would anyone know why wine only has sound while playing intros but not after? [05:44] yeah lsi is pretty well supported [05:44] but linux will just see the raid5 volume as a single device (/dev/sda) right? [05:44] That is how raid works [05:45] so I assume yes [05:45] hello [05:45] hey [05:45] sup [05:45] no /dev/sda, but /dev/mdX [05:45] but.. yes single partition :) [05:45] does anyone have the palm pre? [05:46] isn't mdX only for softwre raid when using mdadm? [05:46] tck4, that is correct. nevermind Mony [05:46] i heard that it is linux based.. [05:46] ops did'n read that is for hardware raid [05:46] mdx is only for software raid [05:46] tck4, some drivers do create devices in some subdir in /dev though [05:47] if I'm using wubi, how do I check how much space I have left on my (30 gig) ubuntu virtual drive?

[05:58] I've actually had dehydrated water myself [05:58] i dont remember. it was an alsa update and i think it made alsa detect my realtek sound card [05:58] N-ether, alsamixer, then check if something is muted [05:59] if it doesn't show more then one lvl then type [05:59] alsamixer -c 0 [05:59] hmmm ... ubuntu should have installed the drivers for realtek [05:59] I had some issues with alsa not saving my sound state ...

[06:31] fred321, i think there is a native version of quake iii arena for linux [06:31] I'm not booting from the new Ubuntu install. Getting an error 15. Edited a number of files but still can't get it to boot. [06:31] I've got Ubuntu One open, Im logged in and my tomboy notes are syncronized fine. However, the .txt files in the Ubuntu One folder are not uploaded to my Ubuntu one account. [06:31] enemy territory should have native client right?

[06:31] dada216: Wold ET does [06:31] Valkyrie``, have you read the wiki [06:31] songer: ubuntu can read ntfs-partitions so you can read your windows files from ubuntu [06:31] musty -- that's why usb install is great =) [06:31] talsemgeest: yes, it's open and connected. [06:31] manug, You're a clever one. [06:32] !grub2 | Valkyrie`` [06:32] Valkyrie``: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [06:32] eremite: what? [06:32] is wine under linux going to be as fast as xp pro? [06:32] Right. [06:32] songer, ubuntu recognizes windows partitions [06:32] fred321 -- it depends on the game [06:32] eremite: Try add another file. It should pop up with a notification saying "Syncronising files now" [06:32] dada: I meant Wolf ET. [06:32] fred321 generally it will probably be a bit slower, but some games run VERY well on wine [06:32] I've read a lot and done a lot of editing of various files, but I still can't get it to boot. [06:32] fred321: most of the time.. no .. but that's not a limitation in wine itself [06:32] I'm running on the live CD now. [06:33] Unreal Tournament does too, if I remember correctly [06:33] fred321 -- look at this page for some well supported software http://appdb.winehq.org/ [06:33] warcraft run on Wine, that's all I care about :) [06:33] fred321: check the application database to get an idea of how well a certain app runs http://appdb.winehq.org [06:33] Valkyrie``, explain what you are trying to do, what you have done and what errors you have gotten [06:33] ok, i have an intuos3 tablet, i can't get pressure sensitivity to work. does anyone know what i gotta do to make my tablet work? [06:33] slart -- i said it first =)) [06:33] talsemgeest: I just added a .xml file and nothing happened. [06:33] i tried getting something called wacomcpl, but it doesn't detect the tablet [06:33] manug: =) [06:33] got it [06:34] my fps underwine is lower though than in XP when im running WoW [06:34] talsemgeest: Ubuntu One says "your files are up to date" but they are not online. Only the Tomboy notes are. [06:34] <[BIOS]dnivra> does any oen have any problems connecting to DSL from karmic? [06:34] winxp games under win I am doing better than ever (wine and cedega) with virtual box non-free with 3d acceleration and guest addition, Age Of Mythology is running just fine at near native speed [06:34] should i prep the available partition in windows or let ubuntus installer do it?

[06:35] <[BIOS]dnivra> i create the connection, it asks for user name and password(is this a new karmic feature?) and then goes connecting.... and disconnects [06:35] talsemgeest: awaiting paitentially. Thanks. [06:35] dada216, whats the point of paying for cedega, isn't it the same core code as Wine? [06:35] fred321 -- i think ubuntu's installer can take care of this [06:35] tarski, thanks and sorry for my ignorance [06:35] ThatGuyOverThere: sorry not much help, havent bothered installing again since I changed PS3 :/ [06:36] this is odd, xubuntu is showing that I have 21 gigs of unpartitioned space [06:36] songer, np we are all n00bs [06:36] Does anybody know what package are used to display emblems on icons in Nautilus Bookmark? [06:36] eremite: Ok, so the ubuntu one tray icon says "Connected"? [06:36] talsemgeest: yes [06:36] I am trying to boot my new Ubuntu install on the drive that shows up as /dev/sdc1. I have consistently gotten error 15 on grub loading. I went in and edited etc/grub.d/40_custom to include where the drive actually is. It didn't update boot/grub/grub.cfg, so I went and manually added that... [06:36] DOMATOR [06:37] talsemgeest: actually, now it says "connecting" but the red warning is gone.

Hoever, when I started windows xp setup (an odl disk that also dosen't support lba48) it partitioned of 131 gigs, my entire hdd as far as it was conserned...... then I tried a xubuntu livecd and it says that I have 21 gigs unpartitioned..... whats going on? Shouldent xubuntu only see like 4 or so gigs left? [06:40] Valkyrie``: see warning in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 ; you need to use supergrub (not a live session) to boot into your normal installation and purge grub-pc with "apt-get purge grub-pc" (or purge grub2 if that's what you installed), and then "apt-get install grub2", even if you previously installed grub-pc. Don't run any upgrade-grub commands after the reinstallation. [06:40] USB drive removal process: "eject", "unmount", or "safely remove"? what's the difference? [06:40] Valkyrie``, did you try sudo update-grub [06:41] talsemgeest: it says "connecting" when i hover the tray icon, but there is the option to disconnect when I left click it. It also says "all your files are up to date". Only my notes work. This seems like a bug indeed. [06:41] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: no linux doesent rely on the bios to see the hdd so it can see all the space [06:41] help [06:41] eremite: Yeah, it does. I would suggest you report it :) [06:41] I see [06:41] chikmonk: just ask [06:41] sowould it be safe to use all of that space for linux? [06:42] osirisx11: unmount is to .. well.. unmount the file system on the usb stick.. it will flush out anything in the buffer and so on.. eject might be for cd's and such that physically has to be ejected.. safely remove I'm guessing is the same as unmount [06:42] To be more specific, I'm sure those running Karmic have emblems on common folders, I have this --> http://tinyurl.com/yg2fznh -- I'm trying to find out which package is required for that. [06:42] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: yea i did it way back in the day on a 40gb when my bios only saw 32 [06:42] Slart: um there is no unmount command [06:42] Slart: so it is a bug then? there should not be duplicate functions. it is confusing. [06:42] leaf-sheep: it's umount [06:42] ok [06:42] In that case [06:42] Slart: ooooooo hehe you dont mean command line [06:42] I was using uxunbu because it had lower sys resuirements [06:42] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: no 160GB hdd is too old to not suport lba48, my best guess when you installed win somehow it left the space unpartitioned, 131 GB + 21 GB = roughly 160 GB which seems correct. [06:42] osirisx11: where do you see this? [06:42] maco: hehe.. nope =) [06:43] Slart: context menu of removable drive [06:43] im wondering if I should just switch to ubuntu [06:43] please help me [06:43] osirisx11: yes it is duplication. unmount and safely remove are the same. eject should only show on optical drives and means it opens the tray as well [06:43] dada: my motherboard dosen't support lba48 [06:43] Slart: nautilis [06:43] chikmonk, ask a question [06:43] maco: umount? You're talking about something else? [06:43] dada216: it was seeing extra space question [06:43] leaf-sheep: umount is the command line name [06:43] leaf-sheep: sorry i was trying to talk to Slart before whoops [06:43] windows uses what the bios see [06:43] Its a Pentium 3 system with 1 gig of pc133 sdram, would you recommend I stick with xubuntu or do with ubuntu? [06:43] maco: this drive is a sd card [06:43] go with* [06:44] osirisx11: hmm.. indeed.. I get both unmount and "safely remove" as well.. perhaps there is some small difference [06:44] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: normal ubuntu works on my dell laptop with the same specks [06:44] osirisx11: yeah so it should only have one option. i know this is a known weirdness cuz well...my roommate and i are both devs and scratching our heads at it [06:44] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: i had the exact scenario 3 years ago. 320GB drive seen as 137 by windows but ubuntu saw it all. was the reason i switched to ubuntu. [06:44] hi, i am on ubuntu 8.04 and have version 0.12 of a library. is there a nice way to get version 0.13 of a library from a new ubuntu distribution without having to upgrade (on a VPS so I can't) [06:44] are there any utility we can see wich devices working properly or wich device has problem via gui ? [06:44] maco, Slart: which should i use? [06:44] hello, one question, why init compains about terminating gdm on startup? I don't even have gdm installed [06:44] osirisx11: any will work [06:44] Well, I have an sata/ide card in here to bypass that for my other storage drives [06:44] ubuntu 9.10 [06:45] osirisx11: its just a stupid broken interface that's had the 2 of us laughing for a couple weeks [06:45] osirisx11: I'm guessing any will work.. if anything I think "safely remove" might be a little more safe in some hidden, secret way =) [06:45] Would ubuntu run as well as xubuntu on that system? what about when using cpu or gpu intensive tasks? [06:45] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: the easy to see all space on unsupported bios is make multi partations [06:45] Trying for a usb bootup sequence [06:45] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: I see, than it should be safe to use the space only linux sees but booting that partition could be a problem if MB does not see it. [06:45] Thanks guys, I'll try some of this stuff. [06:45] ubuntu keeps on getting better I really like the new version 9.10 I like the new icons but I prefer the Darkroom theme better [06:45] maco, Slart: ok thanks.. i am concerned because i think i hit the wrong one before and it disassociated my reader, so it did not work again until i rebooted [06:45] Hey guys, I'm in 9.04 and I'm trying to listen to my music in rythmbox. It tries to search for smil decoder but can't find one. Is there a repository I need to add or something to get this to work? [06:46] dada216: would grub be able to take care of that? [06:46] only few problems happen in upgrade such as the ubuntu software center icon not showing up but I fixed that problem [06:46] :) [06:46] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: some hdds come with tools or boot loader to bypass bios limits to [06:46] planning to install it since its going to be a multiboot system [06:46] for windows [06:46] hello [06:47] i just installed ubuntu 9.10 and it's not detecting my wireless networks [06:47] I dont need to bypass the limit for windows [06:47] exit [06:47] the old hdd was 120 [06:47] shutdown [06:47] I just got this one to replace it because they dont make 120 anymore [06:47] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: linux does it at the kernel level so it does not have that issue [06:47] and figured I would dualboot linux with the xtra space [06:47] osirisx11: then I would go with unmount .. that should only affect the file system.. not the usb device itself [06:47] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: that will be fine [06:47] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: possibly, if you install it in the windows partition I guess but this already sounds like system unbootable, be very careful backup backup backup [06:47] If I could get xp installed that is >.< [06:47] Dallas, what type of file are you trying to play? mp3, etc [06:47] I JUST backede up everything [06:48] atm it has a blank hdd im about to install xp on [06:48] If the installer would work that is >.< but thats another issue [06:48] dada216: his system is fine its just extra unseen space by windows he whants to use [06:48] where can i figure out the reason that my wireless network isn't being picked up automatically? [06:48] heres hoping the installer dosen't freeze again.... [06:48] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: thought it was one with windows on it [06:49] tarski: they're mp3's [06:49] it dosne't have anything on it atm [06:49] im trying to get xp installed [06:49] its a new hdd [06:49] I took out the old os drive [06:49] which had win2k on it [06:49] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: if you wanna use the extra unseen space install windows first [06:49] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:49] yeah I know, thats what im trying to do [06:49] If I hover over them in browser they play? [06:49] lol. wth [06:49] Windows is giving me a hard time though XD [06:49] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: check the hdd is set to master [06:50] Elite, it works. [06:50] Fucking CD's I tell you [06:50] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: than if I were you I'll bet on ubuntu installer taking care of it after windows install, and if it is left unbootable play with the location where you install GRUB. [06:50] Its set to cable select, I set all 4 of them to cable select [06:50] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt, Windows is giving you a hard time? [06:50] but only have one of them connected atm [06:50] does anyone know of any boot-time encryption supporting plausible deniability? [06:50] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: yea but it needs the master setting [06:50] musty: the installer actually, yeah XD [06:50] i used to have wireless networks getting detected just fine when i ran ubuntu 6.10 [06:50] gogeta: I agree Cyber system is fine [06:51] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: or the xp disk will feez [06:51] guys, i know this isnt an ubuntu question, but i was hoping somebody could help me out with this [06:51] http://articles.slicehost.com/2008/4/29/ubuntu-hardy-apache-virtual-hosts-1 [06:51] Nah, it WAS freeing, but I fixed that [06:51] k [06:51] any nice sysadmins? =) [06:51] was either a bios issur or the disk was dirty, optimized my bios and cleaned the disk :) [06:51] Cyber_Akuma-Lapt does bios see the new hard drive? [06:51] Now its freezing AFTER install at the "Detecting hardware" stage XD [06:51] does wine come with a small internet explorer program anymore? I can't find it... also would it be possible to install silverlight on it?? [06:51] dallas, but rythmbox wont play them? [06:51] yeah it does, as 136gb [06:52] Juvo: i've set up vhosts on slicehost on jaunty [06:52] tarski: nope, and amarok crashes when I try it [06:52] if i install a 32 bit version now, can i change to 64 bit version later? [06:52] can you boot up in ubuntu with that drive installed? [06:52] Course, I have a LOT of expansion cards installed atm, thats probably whats causing the crash [06:52] fred321, yes [06:52] fred321, yes with a full reinstall [06:52] I'll try it again and see if I can get a code out of it. [06:52] Such a hassle to remove them all though [06:53] will the 64bit linux still be able to use winxp ntfs files? [06:53] 32bit winxp [06:53] fred321: Yes [06:53] Dallas, you need to download the codecs, amarok wont offer to download them for you [06:53] oh goody [06:54] thnx to all who replied, bbl if i think of more Qs [06:54] hi everyone [06:54] hi alvarezp [06:54] Hey Alvin :) [06:54] i mean Alvin [06:54] lol [06:54] Madpilot.. i need a downloading path for *ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso [06:54] Tarski: I thought I had the ones I needed.

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [06:57] how can i setup the login screen so it will not show the logins? [06:57] ok [06:57] MaWaLe: you mean auto login? [06:58] hackoo: so you need to add it to /etc/default/grub i think [06:58] lol i choose the repo from server list on the software source [06:58] no indus : i want to let the user type manually the login and not having the list shown [06:58] Madpilot can we compile a *.c in Ubuntu .. [06:58] hackoo: read that link i gave [06:58] Tarski: You have saved my life! [06:58] i'm not adding the repo manually [06:58] MaWaLe: hmm not sure what that means [06:58] DoctorDan, I'm the wrong person to ask about compiling - I never bother! [06:58] indus: ok thanks [06:58] Tarski: Maybe exageratting, but thank you [06:58] so i thought it's official repo [06:59] Dallas, yw [06:59] indus: with the new gdm, on the logging screen you have the list off all available logins no ? [06:59] Now, does anyone know how I can get my win7 box to share the damn printer with my ubuntu 9.04 laptop. [06:59] I have fedora and ubuntu both whose grub should be better grub2 or grub ? [06:59] It's already shared, but it can't find it [07:00] indus: so i want to deactivate this and let it be like the old GDM : the user have to type manually his login and next the password to launch his session [07:00] What is the Xchat home channel again? [07:01] btw, anyone have tried the chromium os? [07:01] maco: I just reinstalled the second kernel (same name as previous one) and dkms says the modules already exist, is that supposed to be so? [07:01] i'm getting "unable to mount motorola pcs rokr z6 (mtp mode)" when i plug in my razr. any suggestions of how to connect to my phone? [07:01] hello [07:01] Alvin: is it out already? I didn't even knew [07:02] dada216: oh boo. yeah dkms wont rebuild extra drivers if the kernel version isnt bumped. if there was no ABI change in your rebuild, its not a problem though [07:02] dada216: i guess, it's chromiumos-0.4.22.8 [07:02] I have ubuntu 9.10 on an HP laptop with a built in wireless card that is not supported in aircrack-ng so I purchased a usb wireless card that is ... is there any way to install separate drivers for the new wireless card without messing up the built in card? [07:02] dada216: no i dont know how to tell if the ABI changed [07:03] * Sememmon is starting to get very annoyed with audio in karmic [07:03] does anyone know of any boot-time encryption supporting plausible deniability? [07:03] /join #ubuntu-es [07:04] maco: I know, It didn't, I copied it from another release. no problem thou as they're practically identical. [07:05] brianherman, wait, let me just check what the settings should be for a transparent proxy [07:05] freetown: thats like a mirror right? [07:06] evil, evil pulseaudio.. [07:06] Alvin: yes it's a pre pre release, just for developers bla bla bla, as always, some marketing....I'm on it :) [07:06] * Sememmon stabs it. [07:06] brianherman, er...not quite [07:06] freetown:what should i use then [07:06] squidly, caches content locally but it is not necessarily a mirror [07:06] oops [07:07] oh thats perfect [07:07] brianherman, what do you want to achieve? [07:07] okay [07:07] just a cache of the content updated daily [07:07] brianherman, and without having to setup proxy settings on browsers? [07:07] dada216: is it good? i already finished building it last night, how much space that it use for usb? [07:07] freetown:yes [07:07] I have ubuntu 9.10 on an HP laptop with a built in wireless card that is not supported in aircrack-ng so I purchased a usb wireless card that is ... is there any way to install separate drivers for the new wireless card without messing up the built in card? [07:08] gcc is in ubuntu [07:08] I like to have my karmic boot screen let me see all what is doing, like in the old day whit the list of boot operation, anyone knows how to do that or any boot splash theme that shows this? [07:08] brianherman, what version of squid do you have there? [07:09] dada216: remove "quiet splash" from your grub config and itll show the text [07:09] Alvin: you just made me aware of it existence, I am looking for the source download link and instructions [07:09] dada216: just edit the menu.lst of your grub and delete all "quite" words [07:09] freetown 2.7 stable [07:09] lol [07:09] freetown: 2.7 stable 6 [07:10] is there a way to customize the boot screen like different background for login screen and such? [07:10] cause that would be cool [07:10] dada216: beware, it's around 3-4gigs, i have to resize my partition >.< [07:11] pre load my background as the background for the login screen would look tight [07:11] tophu: you can, its not that cool though lol [07:11] maco: dear god I love you guys! I never figured it out in years [07:11] MaWaLe: dear god I love you guys! I never figured it out in years [07:11] can anyone help me with geany, the compile build and execute buttons are greyed out. [07:12] Alvin: I ask you :) does it looks good? so big?!? it's not just the source than... [07:12] kcj1993: ive never used geany but my first guess would be that you need to save the file before you can click those [07:12] ok [07:12] dada216: idk, havent tried it yet. Now im confused which one of my usb stick that i should format o_0 [07:12] Thanks [07:13] Did anyone have any issues intially with ubuntu 9.10 wireless? [07:13] ok I already love this xchat irc client [07:13] dada216: the source itself is around 231mb tar.gzed [07:13] musty_, wireless has worked great for me [07:13] hmm. [07:13] taofd, brodacom? [07:13] musty_, i have to say, connectivity is extremely easy in karmic [07:14] musty_, intel, broadcom wired [07:14] Alvin: just curios: the rest is all software or what? [07:14] taofd, ok [07:14] musty_: itll probably vary by hardware. my intel is dandy, but my roommate's atheros was really slow til he installed linux-backports-modules [07:14] musty_, yeah broadcom is not really linux friendly [07:14] Alvin: yeah just approx the size of linux kernel [07:14] when someone says "tophu: blah blah" it auto highlights it in red ... and it marks with a line where I left off int he convo when I alt+tab to FF or rhythmbox ^_^ thank you ubuntu comunity for making such an awesome OS [07:14] tophu: me to i only found out about irc 2 days ago [07:14] I just don't get the "Wireless Network" on my nm-applet [07:15] dada216: the rest is when you create local repo and adding the package for chromium os. I thought it's debian based hmm.. [07:15] kcj1993: does it auto highlight for you too?? [07:15] musty_: check system -> administration -> hardware drivers [07:15] musty_: sounds like you dont have the driver installed [07:15] maco: It says there are none. [07:15] tophu: really i think you want to thank xchat developers for that [07:15] tophu: yep nice and red [07:15] guys so when apache does this [07:15] Reloading web server config apache2 [07:15] without an [ok] [07:15] what does that mean [07:15] Juvo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:16] well, this was a test install, I'll reinstall anyway. [07:16] musty_: can you put the output of "dpkg -l bcmwl*" on paste.ubuntu.com? [07:16] for anyone else interested in plausible denaibility encryption, this looks pretty awesome http://code.google.com/p/beerbottle/ === PhantomLink is now known as PL|Snoozing [07:16] musty_: you said broadcom right? [07:16] maco: blah blah blah: bcmwl-modalias 5.10.91.9+bdco Modaliases for the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA [07:17] yea but it's not just xchat ... it's everything about ubuntu ... been messing with it since 7.1 and since 8.04 things have really been comming together so nicely... 9.10 is now the only OS installed on my laptop so I can learn it full time when I'm not at home ... plus the old box in the corner running it as a little server [07:17] musty_: ok so it says its insalled [07:17] tophu: did you know you can look at all the channels by going to server>list of channels and hitting the download button [07:17] maco: Yeah, I just don't see it in my nm-applet. [07:17] musty_: just try "sudo aptitude reinstall bcmwl-modaliases bcmwl-kernel-source" [07:17] kcj1993: yup but this is the only channel I really go to on this server [07:17] tophu: agreed [07:18] Having issues with cryptsetup... I tried to open a partition and now I'm getting "Command failed: Can't open device: /dev/sdb1" -- "fdisk -l" displays the partition fine. Anyone want to take a crack at this one? [07:18] musty_: the driver apparently doesnt get rebuilt if you install updates and the driver without rebooting in between [07:18] even just to sit back and watch and learn ^_^ [07:18] cew_maco [07:18] brianherman, you cannot just make squid listen on port 80 [07:18] maco: Ah, I need an ethernet connect on that laptop, only have wireless inet. [07:18] When I get ethernet setup, I'll come back [07:18] musty_: ok actually [07:18] musty_: no need [07:19] musty_: use "sudo dpkg-reconfigure bcmwl-modaliases bcmwl-kernel-source" and im told that should work too [07:19] freetown: i get a problem with the acl also [07:19] ooo that reminds me of another question I had ... it's not raelly an issue cause of how fast ubuntu shuts down but there is some error on shutdown about compiz (only shows up for less than a sec before shutdown) how can I check this error? [07:19] I can't do it now, until I go to work. [07:19] musty_: i *know* reinstall works. one of the other devs said dpkg-reconfigure should work too though when i was talking to him about it [07:19] bcmwl-kernel-source isn't installed [07:20] brianherman, you need to make squid listen on another port and redirect http traffic to squid [07:20] osirisx11, beerbottle...It's almost as if the filesystem is virtualized or something. [07:20] musty_: oh. alright well when you get online, get that installed too [07:20] how do I get from gnome to a TTY and then get back to gnome? [07:20] brianherman, the acl is another can of worms...what do the logs say? [07:20] maco: will do; I'll come back later and find you -- thanks. [07:20] why is there a "skip" button on the Installing System dialog?? i think the things it is doing are rather critical [07:20] t0rc: ctrl+alt+f1 to TTY then ctrl+alt+f7 to gnome [07:20] musty_: ill likely be asleep later...its about 230am here [07:20] Umm... every time I reboot my machine... it gives me an fstab error but it goes away too quickly for me to see what it says... I would assume thats not good and I would want to fix that? [07:20] maco: Eh, its 8:20am here. [07:20] freetown: FATAL: Bungled squid.conf line 11: cache_peer_access myAccel deny all [07:21] maco: well, whatever the case is, I'll find you. [07:21] Something like fstab .... failed to mount..... [07:21] greezmunkey: yes, i really like how truecrypt works for windows boots, i wish they would support linux [07:21] osirisx11, pretty bizzare - wouldn't think that would be possible. [07:21] maco, thanks [07:21] teamcoltra: sdo gedit /etc/fstab [07:22] teamcoltra: sudo* [07:22] is there something like the eventviewer in windows for linux that would allow me to see errors that occur for less than a second before shutdown? [07:22] Reactor, yes... but that doesn't help since I don't know what I am looking for [07:22] Sigh, no coding today then. [07:22] teamcoltra: maybr sudo mount? [07:22] tophu: could check the syslog maybe [07:22] teamcoltra: maybe*nd then === smackdaddy is now known as cxsss [07:23] teamcoltra: and then paste an error msg from console [07:23] can anyone tell me what editor this is ?

[07:27] http://paste2.org/p/529709 Reactor [07:27] After an update, my wifi doesn't work with WPA any more. How can I diagnose WPA or figure out what the update did and undo it? [07:28] brianherman, there should be a line starting with 'acl all ...' [07:28] brianherman, those six lines are it? [07:28] mditto, I had this issue: Try sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-karmic-generic [07:28] freetown:yes [07:28] oh [07:28] teamcoltra: I'll try, thanks [07:29] btw anyone here using U3 usb stick? === MasterofPuppets is now known as MoPsleep [07:30] brianherman, add 'acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0' [07:30] Alvin: ugh, what about them? [07:30] i am strongly considering moving tmp to tmpfs (ram drive), does anyone have any suggestions or reasons against doing this? [07:30] teamcoltra: "Couldn't find package..." [07:30] (for SSD, eee netbook) [07:30] osirisx11: sometimes when you need to put a LOT in /tmp, you could run out of memory [07:30] oh, I guess I have to connect to a network... heh [07:30] maco: if i accidentally format the u3 system partition, can i recover that partition? [07:31] mditto, you are using karmic right? [07:31] osirisx11: like if you're ripping a DVD [07:31] maco: the chromium os i want to move to usb need me to format the entire sdb, not sdb1 === Berzerker- is now known as Berzerker [07:31] hi ! i m new to ubuntu. i m using ubuntu 9.10 kk . everything worked fine. i have a lg 19" display. the display is to extreme right and the left side is blank. [07:31] I don't know, it's a brand new Dell A90n, Ubuntu 8.04 [07:31] maco: its a tiny computer with no onboard optical drives, thank you for your concern though [07:31] Alvin: you managed to get rid of the U3 crap? without downloading the u3 remover tool? i didnt think it COULD be removed outside of Wndows [07:31] freetown:cool [07:31] lol [07:32] hi! [07:32] I've noticed that some keyboard shortcuts require a Meta key, what is that? [07:32] maco: ic [07:32] mditto, so you are not updated to karmic yet [07:32] maco: no worry then [07:32] Try updating to karmic first [07:32] Alvin: seriously, i stopped using one flash drive just because i got tired of it doing stupid things on Windows and mounting as both a flash drive & a CD on linux & mac [07:33] does anyone know how to get rid of the 'One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted:' message during bootup? [07:33] Alvin: U3 can often be restored using the MPT of the cip vendor [07:33] teamcoltra: I guess Dell stays with LTS release, which would be fine with me if it works :) [07:33] Andy1978: hmm [07:33] Alvin: For example Transcend or OCZ ATV Sticks uses Alcor chipsets [07:33] Andy1978: ty [07:33] Yeah... upgrade to the latest client [07:33] freetown: how do i tell if its downloading [07:33] and it will probz fix any problem you are having [07:34] Alvin: try searching on flashboot.ru [07:34] ooor go search the forum there may have been a patch [07:34] hi all, got a small question about java on karmic, if java is supposed to be installed with ubuntu-restricted-extras why does my java not work?

That might be of some help to ou. [07:34] teamcoltra: OK, thanks [07:34] psypher246: I don't remember if the ubuntu-restricted-extras is supposed to have java or not [07:34] Andy1978: thx a lot andy [07:34] everywhere i read, including the ubuntu software center says it is [07:35] i m new to ubuntu & just installed UBUNTU 9.10 KK. everything worked fine. but there is a issue with display. i have LG 19" FLATRON display & m unable to c extreme right of the screen. pl help.thnx in advance [07:35] welcome: did you try pressing "AUTOSET" on your LCD?

[07:37] anyone able to tell me how to change the drag-and-drop behavior in 9.10 from copy to move? [07:37] Slart: also states it should be there: acrore [07:37] psypher246: but it only depends on sun-java6-plugin .. isn't that just some web browser stuff? perhaps the JRE is a different beast.. I'm not too familiar with java and its different parts [07:37] teamcoltra: Software sources doesn't seem to list that option. Tabs are Updates, Third-Party Software, and Authentication [07:37] no [07:37] http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:37] Slart: hmm, maybe [07:38] wenko: have you tried left dragging? [07:38] I installed Wine to run a window based accounting system " TALLY" .Everything worked fine. But when i open the application ..i get the error DEBUGGER DETECTED [304].pl guide.thnx [07:38] Slart: could be jre is diff to plugin, but yeah same alos not sure the diff parts, i would think it's all one thing [07:38] welcome: running tally? [07:38] landry: I can, yes, but I would like to change the default behaviour [07:38] omg [07:38] indus : yyeah [07:39] welcome: iam not sure if it works in wine [07:39] welcome: write to the devs for a linux version :) [07:39] the chrome bash script formatted my usb stick into 2 part of 1gig partition, where's my 7gig space? [07:39] indus : i was able to install tally. but cud nt run tat application [07:39] mditto, you have a query from me [07:39] wenko: how about ctrl drag? [07:39] Alvin: chrome bash script? [07:39] welcome: this is a protection agains reverse engeneering/cracking [07:39] slart: not sure whet the plugin gives you then, cos just having that installed and going to jave site still fails java test [07:40] welcome: try gnucash [07:40] indus : there r few people using linux in india [07:40] Slart: yeah [07:40] welcome: Do you have "winetricks" installed? it gives you a menu to install many supporting DLL/libraries which can improve WINE compatibility with windows apps. [07:40] welcome: i know , [07:40] landry: yes, that too, but again, I want to change the default behaviour of drag and drop [07:40] Slart: the move_to_usb.sh [07:40] forkcap.: i dont have [07:40] psypher246: you can always report a bug on launchpad.. [07:40] yeah will do, thanks [07:40] wenko: sorry... I've never wanted to change the default :( [07:40] indus : how is gnucash..hav u tried tat [07:41] Slart: i mean image_to_usb.sh [07:41] could someone help me with wine sound? i can get sound for an intro, but not after that, only been this way since the removal of pulseaudio [07:41] Alvin: never heard of it.. is it for building chrome? or something else? [07:41] landry: I do appreciate the suggestions [07:41] welcome: iam trying ,but iam not an acoountant [07:41] indus: wil it match indian accounting standards [07:41] welcome: it's in the repositories, I believe. might be worth installing the .NET runtime, VB stuff, etc through winetricks. have you googled for "wine tally linux" yet for solutions? [07:41] Slart: it is for moving the chrome os image to usb stick [07:41] Alvin: ubuntu has this in it's repos? [07:41] forkcap : tried google..but seems not much help about it [07:41] Slart: nope [07:42] does any1 know how to remove a hdd password [07:42] with out knowing it [07:42] btw to all, how awesome is this, you can use virt-manager to install karmic to a usb stick as a block device and configure the whole thing in a vm then reboot and run full OS from USB stick as test system without reinstalling or running as a live usb stick (which has some issues), then one installed and setup fully you can clone that usb install to your hard drive. cool huh :) [07:42] is there a guide to setting up tv out with the open source ATI drivers? [07:42] welcome: i'd definitely try the winetricks addons then, good luck. [07:43] <[[thufir]]> can't seem to get downloadhelper + flashgot to get some flv vid's -- they do get youtube, just not all flv's. why? [07:43] Alvin: perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic might be a better choice of channel then? or something a bit more chrome oriented [07:43] Slart: oops, sorry my bad [07:43] Slart: ty [07:43] Slart: =) [07:43] forkcap : pl tell me on how to install winetricks.wil give a try [07:43] Alvin: no worries =) [07:43] indus : r u from india [07:43] welcome: si [07:43] welcome: yes [07:44] welcome: try "sudo apt-get install winetricks" [07:44] forkcap : k ..trying [07:44] is it possible to have dual head support for an ati card WITHOUT using FGLRX? [07:45] roboboy: yes, the FREE radeon driver supports that [07:45] I'm a little confused, is that not the same thing as the mesa driver? [07:46] forkcap : says " command not found" [07:46] roboboy: you mean OpenGL ? [07:46] i added a tmpfs line i copied and pasted from a tutorial to my fstab, anyone know how i can test that it is working? [07:46] forkcap : another issue - problm with key board..specially characters [07:46] welcome: search in the Add/REmove Programs then, I'm not in front of a Ubuntu machine to say what might be wrong... ;) [07:46] forkcap: thnx anyways [07:47] I also don't know anything about character/keyboard issues really, I'm on en_us layout on an AMerican keyboard so no issues. [07:47] Andy1978: see this is my confusion, I'm speaking of video drivers for ubuntu, the fglrx just won't effin install, and you mention this free radeon driver, but I don't know if that is what is being installed automatically by ubuntu or not... [07:47] could someone help me with wine sound? i can get sound for an intro, but not after that, only been this way since the removal of pulseaudio [07:47] indus : u r from ?

[07:47] welcome: india [07:49] anyone know how i can test tmpfs to make sure it is going into ram and not physical storage? its for my SSD so it is kind of important i think [07:49] Alvin: not directly.. but you can make virtualbox boot from an image of the boot drive or similar http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=14648&sid=4843b05853d30ed930fbfac38088f06e [07:49] Hi there === andy is now known as Guest97649 [07:50] roboboy: does "dmesg |grep radeon" produce a output?

[07:52] welcome: i only use ubuntu, except play call of duty on windows === vincent is now known as Guest51669 [07:52] zaoul: you can do something like "dpkg -L | grep ii" to get a list of installed packages... then take that list to the other machine as a checklist [07:52] Slart: wow cool, thx a lot =) [07:52] indus: i tried ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop. everything worked well..but had some issues with wireless [07:52] indus: stop using windows! PlayOnLinux works really really good! http://www.playonlinux.com [07:53] or dpkg -l (lowercase) perhaps ;) [07:53] forkcap: I need automation [07:53] Andy1978: I have only one, as it's usually the case [07:53] Slart: i guess no vm bios that support usb boot today >.< [07:53] forkcap: I have MANY applications [07:53] osirisx11: i love windows so never [07:53] Alvin: I have no idea.. I've only efver used virtualbox [07:53] zaoul: you need something like Ghost then, for cloning of system images... anyone have a ubottu for that :) [07:53] DannyButterman: also... whats the problem if you only have one? [07:53] love windows? wow [07:54] indus: blasphemy! [07:54] several devs : ttyS0 S1 n so on [07:54] * indus admits to being a windows troll [07:54] DannyButterman: btw. I have here 8 serial ports, 2 on motherboard, 4 on PCI card, 2 via USB [07:54] forkcap: naa I don't want that.. it takes up too much space.. im fine with installing default OS and then running install apps script [07:55] KEYBOARD ISSUE : Hi ! Using UBUNTU 9.10 ...problem with typing ..when i type @ it is typed as " and vice-versa..pl hlep..thnx [07:55] im sure playonlinux has a lot of bugs heh [07:55] zaoul: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366 something like this? [07:55] performance issues... etc... doens't compare to running games natively on windows [07:55] osirisx11: for playing games there just isn't a good alternative.. wine is a very nice effort and major kudos to them for all the work they've done.. but they still have a lot of ground to cover before you can even say that 50% of all the windows apps works the same way in wine as in windows [07:55] what command will print a file to the terminal other than cat? [07:55] Timmymayes: whats wrong with cat [07:55] DannyButterman: "dmesg |grep tty" gives you something like "serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A" [07:55] Billiard: looks good.. ill try it, thanks [07:55] Timmymayes: less, most, more etc [07:55] i want to show one screen full at a time [07:55] zaoul, well if it's just one machine, a one-line script like "for i in `cat my_package_list`; do sudo aptitude install $i; done" would work, given that my_package_list is a list of packages from the other machine, one package name per line [07:55] welcome: are you using the right keyboard? [07:55] how do i do that with cat? [07:56] Slart: have you used PlayOnLinux? I ran sims 3 flawlessly, it is awesome [07:56] Timmymayes: personally I prefer most [07:56] Andy1978: you're righ, thank you ! [07:56] forkcap: seems like something that should be built into apt or synaptics :-/ [07:56] Slart, could you give me a brief desc of what sets them apart? [07:56] Timmymayes: try "less" or "more" [07:57] indus : yes.... [07:57] osirisx11: I've used wine, which playonlinux is based on.. unless they've done some serious rewriting they won't be that much different [07:57] indus : it was working fine with windows === zand is now known as xand [07:57] zaoul, and actually you can just pass it one big list, never mind the for loop. Yes, a sort of templating system would be nice. More of an enterprise feature than a desktop one though... [07:57] welcome: use usa keyboard [07:57] Timmymayes: mostly output format.. less and more is pretty much the same.. most has some extra gui stuff added.. just install them and see which one you like.. they are small downloads if they aren't installed by default [07:58] i've only had wine work for 1 application correctly... and i don't even like that app very much [07:58] indus : how do i change tat [07:58] wine is a dirty way of playing a game [07:58] Slart: yes, they have done a heck of a lot of work, you should give it a serious try before you bash it. they have a database of games and very specific wine config options per-game. it is very spiffy [07:58] welcome: go to preferences>keyboard [07:59] forkcap: Im thinking of a cheap backup strategy [07:59] osirisx11: it's still wine.. no matter how much makeup you put on it [07:59] indus : it is UK [07:59] osirisx11: wine is an experiment and willl always be one [07:59] forkcap: as long as I keep home, and the list of my install apps, I should be able to save media space [07:59] is anyone with nvidia restricted drivers able to use remote desktop? [07:59] i can't seem to find a work around for the bug or fix :( [08:00] Slart, indus: both of you are talking without experience of the product i am referencing. it does use wine, but i am here to tell you my 3d game for windows ran flawlessly with full 3d and surround sound on ubuntu jaunty [08:00] osirisx11: which product? [08:00] http://www.playonlinux.com [08:00] sims 3, woohoo [08:00] indus : keboard layout is UK [08:00] osirisx11: advertising is not allowed on this channel :P [08:00] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/353126 [08:00] welcome: make it usa [08:01] thats my issue, and need help using the -noxdamage argument with vnc [08:01] INDUS : VARIANT ? [08:01] welcome: generic [08:01] could someone help me with wine sound? i can get sound for an intro, but not after that, only been this way since the removal of pulseaudio [08:01] indus: not advertising, it is an open source and free product. i was countering you and Slart. [08:01] Slart: is virtualbox-ose on package manager the same thing on www.virtualbox.org? [08:01] h!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111 [08:01] Does anyone know how to determine which group a users belong to? (in terminal) thank you [08:01] zaoul: if you just want to back up your home, and the list of installed packages, the traditional way would be to add a scheduled task (or cron job) that uses rsync+ssh (with keys) to copy /home and the list over to a remote host. Other people may be able to recommend more user friendly solutions. [08:01] sharpen047: is this a known issue for that game on the appdb [08:01] kbp: id [08:02] I installed ubuntustudio on a VM. It said it would boot to a GUI but never did. How do I enable this? [08:02] Alvin: nope.. OSE is the open source version.. the one on virtualbox.org is a closed source version.. but it comes with USB support, amongst other things [08:02] Alvin: ose = open source edition, a bit crippled, no usb support [08:02] thank you Andy1978 [08:02] kbp: or "groups" [08:02] osirisx11: ic thx [08:02] Slart: thx [08:02] forkcap: imma give bacula a shot, I use BackupPC on a few machines already.. going to try something new [08:02] indus - still the problem exists [08:02] osirisx11: i like to run software on the platform its designed for, so i never use wine,except for older games like half life [08:02] zaoul: there is a definite lack of an easy solution like Time Machine, etc. [08:03] and BackupPC is nice [08:03] kbp: no problem [08:03] welcome: log out and login again [08:03] time machine eh [08:03] indus ok [08:03] that is mac? [08:03] zaoul: Bacula, yes, might be overkill for 1 machine but right track. [08:03] oh yea [08:03] indus: you can do as you wish, but you should know you have the option to run it perfectly without windows :D [08:03] zaoul: yeah it is almost 1-click backup... [08:03] forkcap: no I have 10 machines [08:03] osirisx11: but iam not bashing this , its fun to experiment, [08:03] perfectly... pleasseeee [08:04] zaoul: ooh, definitely give Bacula a try... also Puppet for configuration management. [08:04] osirisx11: well, wont run perfectly as far as games are concerned [08:04] osirisx11: never can use the graphics drivers since it hasnt any [08:04] osirisx11: always runs slower [08:04] forkcap: I like seeing it has a real front end directory, instead of just a web based gui... I miss real applications [08:05] osirisx11: nvm off topic :D [08:05] for backups I like "Back in time".. simple to setup.. lacks some configurability.. but as a turn key backup solutions it's nice [08:05] using gnome..my mouse settings are in the lowest right now..but still fast to me..is there a way to make it slower? [08:05] osirisx11: also wine gui is ugly and old looking which i dont like [08:05] osirisx11: maybe playon linux looks better [08:05] you are very misinformed my friend indus, i had full 3d support, running very fast [08:05] Hi all.. How to synchronize my clock with Internet time zones...? [08:06] osirisx11: ya i wonder how its possible, how does wine do that [08:06] karmic seems to work fine on my computer but then after some time it plays up. is this fault happening to others i wonder [08:06] napster: package "ntp" [08:06] osirisx11: anyways, i prefer windows for my games [08:06] osirisx11: i play quake 4 on linux though :) [08:06] osirisx11: look.. this discussion isn't really going anywhere.. perhaps #winehq or #ubuntu-offtopic might be a better place [08:07] Thanks again for your help, teamcoltra. [08:07] Slart: but...but he said..he wants to use windows.. :( [08:07] napster: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime#Time%20Synchronization%20using%20NTP [08:07] forkcap: Already installed. on mint...? Or i need to download...? [08:07] forkcap: Flannel Thank you... [08:07] :) [08:07] osirisx11: this isn't a linux advocacy channel.. it's ubuntu support.. [08:07] i am supporting ubuntu by eradicating windows [08:08] osirisx11: you can try to convert him in the offtopic channel [08:08] lol [08:10] Billiard, no it isnt [08:10] everyone here using xchat? [08:10] i am [08:10] heh everyone? [08:10] i seriously doubt it [08:10] sharpen047: you try changing the wine audio settings from alsa to oss or something else? [08:11] should ubuntu boot directly to a gui or do I need to install one? [08:11] sharpen047: or mess with other wine audio settings [08:11] I am used to debian [08:11] INDUS - keyboard working fine now :) thnx [08:11] dome: ubuntu-desktop will boot to a gui [08:11] Billiard, yes oss doesnt work at all only alsa does (the others dont work at all either) [08:11] dome: ubuntu comes with Gnome [08:11] Billiard, there are more? [08:11] 000 [08:11] dome: the desktop version does at least.. the server version doesn't [08:11] ive installed the full 4gb ubuntu and ubuntustudio and neither boot to gui [08:12] INDUS - i installed Playonlinux...guide me ahead... [08:12] sharpen047: did the add the wine beta repo? [08:12] welcome: read the documentation on the website [08:12] Billiard, nope, was trying to stay away from beta [08:13] sharpen047: i would, ive found it has better support [08:13] Billiard, where would i find the repo? [08:13] dome: in a console, run the following comand: apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop | grep -i installed [08:13] sharpen047: google wine repo first result [08:14] Billiard, buy or sell wine auction? :D [08:14] osubuck_ : pl give me the link [08:14] ardchoille: nothign is installed [08:14] hello [08:14] guess i downloaded the wron gversion [08:14] welcome: figure out how to use a search engine [08:14] sharpen047: srsly? its the first result for me [08:14] dome: you can install the gnome desktop with: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [08:14] Billiard, i am kidding haha its an ad [08:15] osubuck_ : new to ubuntu..so not aware [08:15] welcome: www.google.com [08:15] ardchoille: thx for the help [08:15] exit [08:15] dome: yw [08:16] karmic seems to work fine on my computer but then after some time it plays up. is this fault happening to others i wonder [08:16] you should allways try and search for the problem you are having first [08:16] Meowpup: loggs? [08:16] hi all, does ayone know which packages has to be installed so that the java test on java.com does not fail. i have already installed ubuntu-restricted-extras (which should have already covered it) and sun-java6-jre and still it fails??

[08:17] osubuck_: sometimes it fails? :D [08:17] i dont know exactly freezes hangups slow to respond etc [08:17] Spixx: sun-java6-plugin or the plugin pop-up that appears when going to the site? [08:17] is there somethign better on ubuntu than xchat? [08:17] No check "tools > addons" [08:18] unde the plugin "tabb" [08:18] better is subjective [08:18] !irc | dome [08:18] dome: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [08:18] dome: yes, irssi is one that comes to mind but it's text-mode only [08:18] Billiard, what is a blocked update? haha [08:18] Slart: ty [08:18] sharpen047: where you get that?

Here's the command: echo options psmouse proto=exps > /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.modprobe [09:02] but it works? [09:02] Billiard: my live cd is at home, I'm at work now [09:02] I want to access my whole Ubuntu server with Samba. On Arch, i had a share for a root user. How do i do that in Ubuntu? [09:03] Billiard: no, it gives me Permission Denied, even if I add "sudo" before the "echo" [09:03] MOUD: the redirection is done as your user [09:03] lolmaus: I hope you are doing it on a LAN or over a VPN. [09:03] MOUD: you will have to do sudo -i then the command [09:04] My notebook is ASUS AF8m; can't configure my built in webcam. Can somebody help me? [09:04] forkcap, sure. It's LAN only now. Gonna use OpenVPN in future. [09:04] lolmaus: ubuntu doesnt allow login as root by default and it isnt recomended [09:04] i'm on Gutsy and my libc6 is too old for a program (weechat) to be installed. Could i upgrade that library manually somehow? [09:04] Billiard, hey still therE? [09:04] Billiard: so it'll be like sudo -i echo options psmouse proto=exps > /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.modprobe ? [09:04] Billiard, if it did, i wouldn't have asked the question. [09:05] MOUD: sudo -i [09:05] lolmaus: having / as a share is ... stupid [09:05] how to remove password to login into desktop [09:05] Billiard: oh ok [09:05] Billiard: I'll give a try. Thank you very much for your help. [09:05] Billiard, i got sound in wine... one problem though.. nothing else can use wine now [09:05] MOUD: np [09:05] sound* not wine [09:05] lolmaus: What is your use case for Samba as opposed to using scp/rsync/ssh for access to the server? [09:06] sharpen047: nothing else? [09:06] llutz, i'm a Windows user and i've got an Ubuntu server with no GUI. I find it convenient to edit config files, html/css/php files and copy stuff via a file manager. [09:06] sharpen047: oh you mean when wine is running? [09:06] Billiard, like amarok :( it says the sound device blah blah is broken [09:06] lolmaus: might be, but still: having / as a share is ... stupid [09:06] forkcap, i hate the copy to local - edit - save - copy back routine [09:06] sharpen047: what about when you close wine? [09:06] lolmaus: aha! you can do it with a familiar GUI using Filezilla to connect via SFTP. [09:06] Billiard, yes wine is running correctly with sound now and i just closed it one sec [09:06] llutz, any workarounds? [09:07] lolmaus: given by forkcap, ssh/sftp/rsync [09:07] forkcap, Samba lets me edit files in place. SFTP only lets me fetch files. [09:07] Billiard, if i close wine amarok works correctly [09:08] sharpen047: i have no idea [09:08] Billiard, i thought it was a pulse problem too so pulse is gone lol [09:09] is it possible to have no password to login? it was a option when i was installing ubuntu, but cant find it anywhere now [09:09] In a situation like lolmaus is in, would using ssh to log into the server be the appropriate solution. Or, is the ssh session too limited (permissions, etc)? [09:09] lolmaus: For the content editing, you could point your webserver to a directory which is located in a Samba share. [09:10] greezmunkey: there's no limitation when using ssh, you can sudo remote and work as root if needed [09:10] greezmunkey, not only it is limited (it won't let me edit apache config, etc), but it also won't let me edit files in place. I have to copy them and edit locally and then copy back, it sucks [09:10] lolmaus: For configuration management in a GUI, I really like Webmin. [09:11] lolmaus: id just use ssh, its faster than a gui when you are used to it [09:11] llutz, I was playing with ssh, and it seemed that I could do just about anything, but I didn't really push it. Thanks for the info :) [09:12] lolmaus: putty and cygwin are great tools for working with remote linux systems on windows, they may factor into a solution.. [09:12] Billiard, i don't like console editors and file managers [09:12] can someone help me with sound? its not letting me use amarok and wine at the same time [09:12] lolmaus: you will learn to like them [09:12] Billiard, my favorite text editor and a gui file manager give me a lot of power. But when using console, i'm slow and ineffective [09:13] Hi all, im trying to install clonezilla and one of its dependancies is sysutils.....but ubuntu is telling me that that isnt available cause it is either missing obsolete or is only available from aonther source, but im following a guide so i am assuming i have the right source [09:13] lolmaus: have you checked out Webmin for the server configuration task? I think a combo of webmin + pointing APache at a non-root Samba share would probably serve quite well. [09:13] Billiard, well, i already like them. But when i have to edit a lot of css/php/html and test each change on a site, copying to and back drives me mad [09:13] lolmaus: you are free to use what you feel familiar with, but please don't connect servers like that to the public ;) === zz_b0w is now known as kiwifunk [09:13] anyone know what i can do?

[09:53] pitseleh, env | grep PYTHON [09:53] Spixx: thanks :) [09:53] okay [09:53] that should output if the string is IN the env file [09:53] i got it up [09:54] but anyhow... thanks for your help on my upgrade quesitons Younder , llutz , Billiard . Too sad we couldnt solve this easily. ;---) [09:54] sybariten, it IS a real library file, just a dynamically linked one. So a so file is included at runtime and shared with other processes [09:54] Spixx: not there :( [09:54] wierd? [09:54] what user do you run the script with? Maybe not in your env but said user? [09:55] Spixx: the script is run through /etc/rc2.d/S20Script start [09:55] Spixx: as root.. [09:55] sybariten, the only way to be sure is try. If you don't want to or can't take the risc, then wait to you have console access. [09:55] and it echoes the variable from within the script after exporting it.. [09:56] pitseleh: I'm not a bash ninja but maybe it is your syntax? [09:56] Spixx: perhaps, though the lines are literally export PYTHON_EGG_CACHE=/tmp, and then echo ${PYTHON_EGG_CACHE} [09:57] i don't plan on really installing alot of stuff on ubuntu, is 10GB fair enough to play with things? [09:57] i'll try to see if the var exists when as root [09:57] wut yes should be alright [09:57] wut: yes, gnome will be the biggest hog [09:57] wut, should be [09:57] werd [09:58] Younder: i _do_ have console access, but maybe you meant pysical or "i-can-throw-the-machine-out-of-the-window-if-i-want"-access.

[11:31] aaron11, ipconfig [11:31] aaron11: ifconfig [11:31] aaron11, connecion infromation [11:31] Younder: Yes, but just going to nvidia-settings on the menu is read only. Excepting that he can apply. [11:31] aaron11, so you enter a password and it works [11:32] aaron11, iff you have it, and if you don't there is nothing you can do. [11:32] bahzang: is there some way to quickly send a @ message to someone like bahzang: ? [11:33] Younder: Is this a Mac address and by the way ipconfig only works in Windows 02:1D:E0:00:3D:5F [11:33] aaron11: the simplest answer is to run ifconfig on any terminal and note that the default interface is eth0 for wired connections.

[11:52] I would like it to work --' [11:53] !kms [11:53] tiagoboldt, what hw do you have ? [11:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about kms [11:53] friendishan: makes it use more ram [11:53] it panics on X start, have to use redeon, that does not have support for most features in my hd3650 [11:53] ACtionParsnip : ok [11:53] what exactly is KMS? [11:53] hi all! I just upgraded a test server from jaunty to karmic, but now my nfs shares won't get auto-mounted anymore.. does anyone know what the proper procedure is for getting this to work ? should it still work through an /etc/network/if-up.d script ? [11:53] friendishan: if the ram used exceeds your physical ram your system will start using swap which will make the system slower (inc firefox) [11:53] tiagoboldt: Here is how you ask for help. you say what you did what you wanted to happen and then what happened [11:54] same problem here. it just hangs [11:54] i know it kernel modesetting but what it really is [11:54] friendishan: firefox also sucks with ram so this is also a factor [11:54] ActionParsnip to the rescue! [11:54] ActionParsnip : thanks for the info [11:54] Any idea why I get can't grab mouse error when trying to open admin apps. and gow to sort witout reinstalling? [11:55] Guest33045, mouse error? [11:55] tiagoboldt, i have a feeling it's a kernel issue, but i'm not sure [11:55] When I try to enter a wireless network using my SMC EZ Connect N usb it keeps asking for the password and never enters the network...tried many networks.. [11:55] SpaceGhost, I'll rephrase, installing fglrx from the repos gives me kernel panic on X start, I would like it to work;P The bug is described here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/464525 but with no progress so far [11:55] against the hw 3400 series [11:56] tiagoboldt: I'll look around and see what I can scrounge up. [11:57] SpaceGhost, thanks:) I've tried yesterday installing from amd's site, but they fall back to failsafe, without any apparent error on the logs, so I guess that I should focus on the repository version, since it should be the one supported [11:57] Ubuntu is dropping my wireless connection, I have added iwl3945 to /etc/modules and running modprob iwl3945 was starting the wireless but now even that isn't working [11:57] How can I configure my house to scroll..... When I hold down the scroll wheel button and pull down the mouse [11:58] tiagoboldt: Why would you install video drivers from amd? [11:59] SpaceGhost: maybe its an ati card ;) [11:59] SpaceGhost: theres also their geode vga chips [11:59] Don't you get ATI drivers from their site? [11:59] SpaceGhost: you can, if the card is still supported [11:59] SpaceGhost, where else will heb find ati drivers ? [11:59] I'm sorry, I don't do that whole ATI thing... [11:59] SpaceGhost: me neither [11:59] SpaceGhost, AMD bought ATI, they are the same;P [12:00] It seems to me that I have been bested again by ActionParsnip. I'm not quite savvy in the ATI world. [12:00] spiraliz: the open drivers are used for older cards [12:00] ledr: use autofs(automount), what do you mean with "should it still work through an /etc/network/if-up.d script" ? [12:00] I followed the theme installlation here http://www.bisigi-project.org/?page_id=8 now how do I run this thing so i can change themes?????? [12:00] ActionParsnip, the opensource drivers suck [12:00] SpaceGhost: me neither, i just see people in here with them, never sure why folks buy em personally [12:01] How can you repair an Ubuntu by Live CD? [12:01] spiraliz: its still another place yuo can get drivers, you never said you wanted good drivers [12:01] soopos: chroot [12:01] hehe [12:01] soopos: or you can mount the partitions and edit the config files etc [12:01] Darn you ActionParsnip. [12:01] ActionParsnip: I run "sudo chroot /mnt/repair" [12:01] ActionParsnip, same laptop, same graphics power, less 100€ than nvidia in almost any case [12:02] ActionParsnip: I am following the tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-422523.html which is however flawed [12:02] tiagoboldt: i'd rather pay for something that wont get support dropped [12:02] Action how do i run the theme program to use this installation of http://www.bisigi-project.org/?page_id=8 [12:02] buongiorno [12:02] ActionParsnip: Details about what I have done so far are at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1785280/fixing-x11s-startup-errors-by-xorg-conf-or-modprobe [12:02] hax0r: its there, add the key, add the repo then install the package [12:02] should it take 2 minutes for my laptop wirless to start working afte bootup ? [12:02] epinky: before there was a mountnfs script in network/if-up.d.. bit it borked, I removed it just now.. I just read that it now has a daemon mountall running, am reading up about it [12:02] ActionParsnip, kinda true ;\ but my previous laptop had ati without any problem for years [12:02] !it| iloferro_ [12:02] iloferro_: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [12:03] the newer one are.. slow to get on the track ;\ [12:03] epinky: I'm now trying to run in from the cli (mountall --debug) but it hangs at mounting nfs [12:03] tiagoboldt: it will be dropped eventually, nvidia support all the way back to the TNT cards and earlier [12:03] ; [12:03] epinky: while mount -a works just fine [12:03] When I try to enter a wireless network using my SMC EZ Connect N usb it keeps asking for the password and never enters the network...tried many networks..daemon.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/326780/plain/ [12:03] actionparsnip: I installed it allready........ How do i run the program to chnage themes in ubuntu karmic [12:04] ActionParsnip, by then (not acceptable anyway), I'll have open drivers [12:04] hax0r: look under system -> prefs -> appearence is my gues [12:04] I think it's a binary question. There are 00110010 types of people in the world. Those who buy ati and those who rock. [12:04] ledr: it can happen :) [12:04] for 'ls -F' what does the '>' character denote? [12:04] ActionParsnip, : i did that wasnt there [12:04] SpaceGhost, that's only 10;P [12:04] How can you fix broken Ubuntu's X11 by Ubuntu Live CD? [12:04] tiagoboldt: i'd rather have te official drivers from that the manufacturer makes, they will always work even with ancient cards [12:05] tiagoboldt: Actually, that was binary for two. [12:05] soopos, remove your xorg.conf and reboot [12:05] epinky: that the mountall program just hangs ? :) [12:05] soopos, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:05] is there a way to refresh the grub menu automatically? [12:05] so that the correct kernels are listed and so on [12:06] sooopos: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [12:06] hax0r: did you run: sudo apt-get install bisigi-themes [12:06] ledr: sometimes it will happen, RPC sometimes hangs [12:06] mr_boo: its part of a kernel install postinst, you can manually run: sudo update-grub [12:06] hax0r: you then need to install one of the themes in the list below that line [12:07] for 'ls -F' what does the '>' character denote? [12:07] hi [12:07] ActionParsnip, thanks [12:07] actionparsnip: i dont have a karmic theme manager to apply what i installed [12:07] xoveruk: redirection, usually to a file or block device [12:07] what free tool ca recover ext4 partition? [12:07] what theme manager does karmic use so i can install it [12:07] Ubuntu: you should know this already :p [12:08] epinky: well, it's not the nfs that hangs, as I said the mount -a works just fine.. it's the mountall program that seems to stop processing (it doesn't crash) randomly [12:08] ubuntu: foremost, much easier to restore from your backups [12:08] epinky: I assume that mountall does not do any rpc stuff [12:08] what do you mean redirection? Im doing LS listing and the file types are @ > / * = and | [12:08] hax0r: i am not sure how the packages work, i'd contact the maintainer, or find a guide on the themes [12:09] xoveruk: e.g. cd ~; ls -a > ~/files.txt; gedit ~/files.txt [12:09] Try looking at their launchpad address. [12:09] your not listening to me [12:09] ls -F [12:09] it shows the file types [12:09] xoveruk: will run the ls command but the output will not go to the screen, it will be redirected to the file ~/files.txt [12:09] well, I'll keep checking the bug report:) If someone knows who's into fglrx in ubuntu, please, notify them:) thanks [12:09] I know what redirection is mate [12:09] GRRR [12:09] should it take 2 minutes for my laptop wirless to start working afte bootup ? [12:10] tiagoboldt: sorry friend. [12:10] ledr: why are you not using autofs? you should be setting a timeout on auto.master to make this not happen [12:10] im not using redirection, LS is giving me files, for example. newfolder/ = a folder, newfileexecutable* = an executable file [12:10] coachz: use the output of: sudo lshw -C network | grep product and see if there are guides or bugs reported [12:11] = socket | pipe [12:11] @symbolic link [12:11] what does the > mean when issungi 'ls -F' [12:11] xoveruk: directing stdout to a file [12:11] xoveruk: just redirects that output, its the same for any command [12:11] xoveruf: it means put all output into file [12:11] epinky: I'm just accustomed to having my nfs always mounted.. It's for production servers that always need the mounts, so no magic is necessary like on a laptop or so.. [12:12] your still not listening [12:12] hey all! [12:12] ActionParsnip, i was told yesterday to add it to /etc/modules but the module had been loading before. So where would else would it be loading if not in /etc/modules [12:12] xovruk: state your problem. Say what you wanted to happen, what you did, and what happened. [12:12] if you type man ls and look at the -F switch you will understand me [12:12] perhaps I am not being articulate enough [12:13] is not redirection, its denoting a file type. [12:13] Hi all!

I'm sorry I thought I did! Sorry mate. [12:24] Moinmoin.. [12:24] ich habe ein kleines Problem mit dem 'Network Manager'.. obwohl ich eine drahtverbindung auf eine Feste IP konfiguriert habe (funktioniert auch), und der Haken bei 'Autmatisch verbinden' gesetzt ist, holt das blöde Ding sowohl beim booten wie auch beim erwachen aus Hibernate eine IP per DHCP und nennt das dann 'Auto eth0' [12:24] wie krieg ich ihn dazu, das zu unterlassen?

[12:29] I don't want to switch it off, cause I want to use some kind of manager for WLAN things.. [12:29] xoveruk: i wouldnt get tied up on what they are called, as long as you understand the function it doesnt matter what its name is [12:29] so next time someone asks you have the answer [12:29] A door is a special file for inter-process communication between a client and server, currently implemented in the Sun Solaris operating system only. [12:29] sandman667: you can, just not for eth0 [12:29] xoveruk: you went and attained the knowledge you hadn't posessed after it was already presented to you. In short, you made yourself look silly.

[13:02] Hey guys, when updating from Karmic beta it offers a partial upgrade. Should I accept this, or complete the upgrade before hand? I'm not entirely sure the apt-get front-end is working correctly, as to install anything I usually have to use the command line "Unresolved Symbol Error" or something similar. Anyway, last time I updated - a few weeks back - my system died during the update process, both times. I figure, a lot moves in the U [13:02] munley: do this for me will you? run this: cat /etc/fstab > fstabinfo.txt [13:02] ubottu: i have write some script but not execute? [13:02] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:02] cat /etc/fstab > fstabinfo.txt [13:02] In the terminal munley.... [13:02] hax0r: 64bit can address more ram without the need for PAE, 64bit also helps with data changes (like mp3 / video encoding etc) [13:03] LjL, any idea ? [13:03] Oops... sorry [13:03] SpaceGhost, What does the mean "pastebin to got me?", Do I paste the .bashrc to pastebin? [13:03] I am using ubuntu 9.04.,i cant hibernate my machine..after clicking hibernate the system hangs into a black screen after a while, when i press the power button to resume the system is as if freshly booted... [13:03] arr0w: try this chmod +x path/to/script [13:03] Arrr0w: make sure they have the #!/bin/bash as the top line, then chmod +x the file [13:03] thinkertinker: file a bug [13:03] SpaceGhost : I did it, but nothing happened [13:04] garbin: open your .bashrc and then copy the contents to pastebin [13:04] Mohammad[B]: actually, somehow i'm not sure ffmpeg can encode mp3 by default. try doing « ffmpeg -formats | grep mp3 », for me it only shows as a decoder, not encoder [13:04] action: would u recommend it since i have 6gb [13:04] maco a bug in 9.04 still? [13:04] SpaceGhost, OK [13:04] garbin: or you can use: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit ~/.bashrc [13:04] thinkertinker: yes. all software has bugs. particularly when you get hardware involved. [13:04] hax0r: yes, or you can install the server kernel, 32bit on its own can only really address 3Gb RAM [13:04] SpaceGhost, OK~! [13:05] morning, Im running a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 fully updated. I had an issue where grub was waiting at the boot menu for me to pick what kernel to load. I checked /etc/default/grub and all settings seemed set for it to sompliy boot through. did some google searches and no resolution, finally I edited /boot/grub/grub.cfg despite the warnings and changed "set timeout=-1" to "set timeout=0" directly beneath "if [ ${recordfail} = 1 ]; [13:05] then" this fixed the issue but since this is a file Im not supposed to edit IM wondering if there was any other way to do this? [13:05] LjL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/326831/ [13:05] Ok, I ran the updater. Hope it works. [13:05] hello? [13:05] munley: then run this: gedit fstabinfo.txt & [13:05] Hi All.. I have a problem with SSH.. I can not connect to an ubuntu box from a Mac. I can ssh to other linux machines with Mac, also to another Mac. Also I can ssh to the ubuntu machine from another ubuntu machine. However I cannot ssh with my mac and receive a connection refused error. All the machines I mentioned are on the same network.. [13:05] actionparsnip: how can I upgrade to 64bit from the 32bit im running on [13:05] Caldavien: you can edit /etc/default/grub happily, its just fruitless to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg [13:06] Copy the contents into http://pastebin.ubuntu.com [13:06] jackinthebox: did you install an ssh server on the ubuntu machine? [13:06] hax0r, you would need to reinstall the 64bit version [13:06] hax0r: you cant you must reinstall [13:06] ubuntu 9.10 is supposed to able to play dvds right? but i cant make it work. i tried with videolan dragon player and totem, but they cant read from source it seems but the dvd is new [13:06] epinky: this fixed my nfs problems: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/484209 [13:06] SpaceGhost : yes, a window showed up, what next? [13:06] maco: yes i did.. openssh_server [13:06] jackinthebox: is it running? [13:06] hax0r: if you install the server kernel it will have PAE and address all the ram [13:06] plitter1: did you install libdvdcss2? [13:06] SpaceGhost, http://pastebin.com/f75709b3c [13:06] munley: copy the contents into http://pastebin.ubuntu.com [13:06] SpaceGhost, that is my .bashrc [13:06] anyone know about gambas language [13:06] Mohammad[B]: try « ffmpeg -i file1.mp3 -acodec mp3 -ab 128k -ac 2 -ar 44100 file2.mp3 » [13:06] maco: no.... i didnt give me a sec [13:06] Got it! [13:06] maco: yes of course, as I said I can connect from other ubuntu machines to that box.. [13:06] how can i paste a file to plugins [13:07] plitter1: commercial DVDs are usually encrypted to prevent people from watching them on unapproved devices [13:07] ActionParsnip, I did edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg, and it did fix my issue [13:07] munley: show me what command you are putting into the terminal? [13:07] LjL, Unknown encoder 'mp3' [13:07] hiyas all [13:07] jackinthebox: ah i missed that bit. i only saw that youd connected to other linux machines from the mac [13:07] SpaceGhost: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/326832/ [13:08] Mohammad[B]: is that the ffmpeg that comes with ubuntu or did you compile it? [13:08] actionparsnip how do i do that [13:08] LjL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/326833/ [13:08] hi! Does anybody know if it is possible to upgrade from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 with a crypted root/boot partition? [13:08] LjL, this is default [13:08] munley: what was your problem again? why did you ask? [13:08] ChB82: yes, just use the update manager [13:08] munley: I forgot what you came for. [13:08] Caldavien: theres another file with more config, let me find it [13:08] ActionParsnip: what are the commands to do thaat server kernal thing, ,im iffy about going to 64bit cuz of the flash problem [13:09] hax0r, flash works fine in 64bit [13:09] Hello, does anybody try to play call of duty 2 with linux? [13:09] garbin: I don't see anything having to do with your issue in there. Isn't this a fresh install? [13:09] maco: no problem.. do you have an idea.. because the google'ing didn't give anything.. some say this is a mac problem, some say it is an ubuntu problem.. been trying to resolve this for a week.. [13:09] SpaceGhost, http://pastebin.com/f75709b3c , are you here? this is my .bashrc. [13:09] Marukaz: no, because I think it needs directx. [13:09] [help] - i can't run blender [13:09] hax0r: sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.31-14-server linux-image-server [13:09] maco: and the new kernel can boot from the crypted partition without problems? [13:09] garbin: yes. Is this a new install? [13:09] hax0r: flash runs great here in 64bit. i use the alpha 64bit flash [13:09] Mohammad[B]: i don't know, it seems mp3 may not be supported by the default ffmpeg (which is reasonable since that's what ubuntu does with proprietary codecs), but i don't see a package anywhere to add that support [13:09] SpaceGhost, yes it's a fresh install. [13:09] jackinthebox: the only thing sticking in my head, is that i know there are TWO ssh standards. perhaps mac uses the old one? [13:10] ChB82: yes, encrypted setups are still supported [13:10] i has been install blender from ubuntu software center, but they tell me a problém [13:10] all sorted now I think, just had a network configuration error [13:10] SpaceGhost : yes, my problem is, I was partition into 3 parts, one for Windows XP one for Ubuntu, One for Linux SWAP [13:10] maco: thank you!

It is 2,1 from the ssh_config [13:11] garbin: I suggest you reburn the ubuntu iso and try again. [13:11] fisting your pussy [13:11] ]syagshuauhsauhsuhas [13:11] whoa... hate those things.

[13:11] Halitech: yes I've tried with another ubuntu box [13:11] but one day I thought I could partition the SWAP into 2 parts, so Windows XP and Ubuntu can share a common drive [13:11] hax0r: not really unless you get into mp3 encoding and video stuff etc [13:11] jackinthebox, does it work?

[13:19] Halitech : Nope, I resize it from "GParted" [13:19] munley: the trouble is going to be that the UUID of the partition changed when you resized it. if you give me that info i can tell you the proper UUID so you can fix /etc/fstab [13:19] what can i do?ty for your precious help guys [13:19] I thought GParted is from Ubuntu??? [13:19] huck, save your data and your config, and do a clean install XD [13:19] lol [13:19] Huck: sorry didn't see that first, you are running the jaunty linux kernel still. [13:19] munley: no, gparted is made by the gparted team [13:19] munley, resizing mounted partitions isn't usually a good idea [13:19] can anyone help me out?

[13:20] Huck: please run "sudo update-grub" [13:20] maco: wrong kernel ? hmm [13:21] Huck: run " sudo update-grub ", does that list the newer kernel version as found/ [13:21] indus: yes, something was broke in jaunty and it fubar'd a bunch of upgrades [13:21] Dr_Willie, SpaceGhost, maco : What do I do next? [13:21] maco: doestn Huck have a sound problem? [13:21] SpaceGhost, Yes, I just change the termial title from chinese to english.

[13:21] indus: this hit several hundred people on release day [13:22] maco: you too? [13:22] munley: can you pastebin output of "sudo fdisk -l " (thats a small L, and yes you need sudo) and of "blkid" ?

[13:33] i get this: FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 7: enlarged logical partitions overlap [13:33] arand: yes it did [13:33] DJ_HaMsTa: pretty much, why are you using root to compile in? have you installed build-essential [13:33] the same...cause there isnt in the list of menu.lst in grup a 9.10 [13:33] i saw in onother channel that you can wirte ! something to run a script, any one could tell me how could i create my own script?

[13:34] build-essential is already the newest version. [13:34] DJ_HaMsTa: you wont get any less errors as root, you just need to use sudo when you run make install, otherwise you can be user for the rest of the stepa [13:34] olvap: Depends on the language you choose - I guess you'll want #!/bin/bash for a Bash script.

[13:51] SpaceGhost: its programming stuff [13:51] The idea is to have one terminal split into two or more panes, like in Vim [13:51] Is that possible? [13:51] maco: I knew that. It's like me asking you, "teach me air" [13:51] _tom_: i cant tell you what API calls in Linux are equivalent to what API calls in Windows. you're going to simply have to learn how to code for Linux [13:51] avishek: Ctrl-A S [13:51] _tom_: http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Environment-Addison-Wesley-Professional-Computing/dp/0321525949/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259070648&sr=1-2 [13:51] Please help me with this.. this is my error http://pastebin.com/f213080e I keep on disconnecting from my [AP] once in 3 minutes(approx) [13:51] maco,arand,actionparsnip THANK U SO MUCH!!! now the audio work finally!!! thank youuuuuuuu [13:52] i hope u can have a nice day!

[13:54] helloworlds | Thanks; would you recommend c or cpp, or is there really not much of a difference [13:54] maco, please help me [13:54] Huck: cool, wtg :) [13:54] maco, Please help me with this.. this is my error http://pastebin.com/f213080e I keep on disconnecting from my [AP] once in 3 minutes(approx) [13:54] helloworlds: did you try installing linux-backports-modules? [13:54] Climhazzard: i think you mean "C++", not "cpp". also, this discussion should probably move to #ubuntu-offtopic [13:54] ActionParsnip: Hey its me again..... I just restarted and I have a blinking command Prompt... I dont even have the Grub loader where I can chose safe mode. It just boots into this command prompt thats blinking. It says (nvidia) failed.... What do i do [13:54] Climhazzard, what do you wanna do [13:55] anyone know what speed a cloning process through a 10/100 hub so go at? in MB [13:55] _tom_: yes I understand. You'll need to learn how to program for linux and branch the project. There is no simple converttolinux program. [13:55] Climhazzard, what do you wanna do? [13:55] should* === yos_ is now known as Yos [13:55] mrs_columbo: sudo apt-get -purge remove nvidia*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo shutdown -r now [13:55] maco, sudo apt-get install linux-backpots-modules? [13:55] exit [13:55] helloworlds | Right now, just to learn it, eventually I'd like to work on open-source projects [13:55] Jimi_Neutral: It'll be most likely bottlenecked by the disk write speeds. [13:56] mrs_columbo: removes the driver and reboots, you can then reinstall the driver again to have another go once you get on the desktop [13:56] helloworlds: uh are you on 9.10? if so linux-backports-modules-karmic or if 9.04 linux-backports-modules-jaunty [13:56] <_tom_> SpaceGhost: that is to say, rewrite the whole system and all the apps? [13:56] Climhazzard, basically, if you want to deal with kernels then go for C. Building large applications then C++. once you know one, learning the other is easy [13:56] SpaceGhost, this is the odd thing....it used to go at about 900 but now its max is 211, since reisntalling ubuntu and clonezilla...same hub and network cables tho [13:56] _tom_ not necessarily. I'd try by migrating it slowly, and rewriting as needed. [13:57] helloworlds | Awesome, thanks [13:57] Jimi_Neutral: What about any other traffic? [13:57] ##c ##c++ ##programming for all your C and C++ programming needs; #ubuntu-offtopic for general discussion about it [13:57] SpaceGhost, none, its an isolated clone server [13:57] ActionParsnip: How do I Get to a command prompt. It boots right into Ubuntu without a Grub menu and holding escape doesnt do anything. Gives me a blinking command prompt I cant even type leters in [13:57] _tom_: a friend is pointing out htat if its a straight Qt application, it could just work. but if its full of win32-specific stuff...yep, rewrite [13:58] Climhazzard: You can start writing using any language, check them out. I suggest python, it's relatively easy to handle. [13:58] _tom_: well or if its interpreted. i mean, python should work anywhere [13:58] <_tom_> SpaceGhost: but what to do for the winwods GUI program? GTK or QT or else? [13:58] mrs_columbo: press ALT+F1 [13:58] maco, by the way, what was my problem actually. just curious [13:58] mrs_columbo: brings you to a tty [13:59] yes but its blinking [13:59] I cant stop the blinking so i can type normally [13:59] helloworlds: wireless stack was too old [13:59] has anyone ever had success with using a rar bruteforce cracker on an encrypting virus [13:59] Climhazzard, i suggest go for C... then python... [13:59] mrs_columbo: you can boot to recovery mode from grub then select root, you can run the commands there [13:59] how to learn python? [13:59] there is no grubbbb [13:59] told u already [13:59] maco, anyway, thanks a lot maco [13:59] any tutorials [13:59] om26er: same as any other programming language [14:00] !ot [14:00] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[14:00] you hold lthe shift key to see the grub menu i believe [14:00] om26er, learn python? easy.. python.org.. a good tutorial there [14:00] _tom_:I generally write things for command lines but to answer, I'd write a specific version for each os. [14:00] helloworlds | I'll probably learn them both simultaneously, I've dabbled in java and c++ before, so I have a general understanding of languages [14:00] (why has this channel just become "how to learn $programminlanguage"?) [14:00] you hold lthe shift key to see the grub menu i believe, mrs_columbo === st3ffen_ is now known as st3ffen [14:00] _tom_: I have a project now called Fetch, I forked it into windows and mac and a couple other options. [14:00] Climhazzard, cool.. then next choice is python.. python is really nice... trust me [14:00] mrs_columbo: press the power button once (don't hold it) the system will shutdown gracefully, you can then power back up (after a few seconds) then go to recovery console [14:00] om26er: i like this book, but i think it doesnt work with 9.10, only 9.04 because one of the libraries broke :( http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english2e [14:01] Does anyone know how to get a turnstile in LaTeX? [14:02] chu_: #latex [14:02] Climhazzard: I less then three python. So much. [14:02] Hi, software raid on ubuntu says no boot sector in installer? [14:02] SpaceGhost, what do you mean?

[14:12] Yes [14:12] serious : wouldn't ubuntu chan be less messy if xchat was not configured to log on this channel by default ? [14:12] But I can not work. [14:12] ex-dude: dont chown/chmod files on vfat, the filesystem isnt suitable [14:12] But it can not work [14:12] ex-dude: just mount with better options [14:12] then...? [14:13] like...how do I do that? [14:13] ex-dude: vfat (FAT32) does not support Unix-style permissions. All files receive the same permissions defined by fmask/dmask in /etc/fstab (or, if you use automounting, somewhere in HAL or gconf.) [14:14] ex-dude: unmount it then use something like: sudo mkdir /media/vfatpart; sudo mount /dev/partition_name -t vfat /media/vfatpart -o uid=1000,rw [14:14] well, I just put the usb, and it autorecognize it...I do not have to do anything... [14:14] ahaa [14:14] ex-dude: the partition name you will have to change [14:14] ex-dude: you can see partition names in : sudo fdisk -l [14:15] ex-dude: it'll be something like /dev/sdc1 [14:15] jul_: xchat only defaults to this channel with ubuntu.

[14:36] verb3k: edit /etc/default/grub [14:36] I just installed ubuntu using wubi, and when I select it in the boot manager, grub comes up and says something like "minimal Bash-like..." something and wants me to type commands, it doesn't load up ubuntu or give me options to load it as usual [14:36] Then your laptop possibly can't run the normal disk to install [14:36] it's a desktop;D [14:36] KHM7000: Try downloading the alternate install cd [14:37] Does anyone know if it is possible to add a custom item like "About Ubuntu" and "About Gnome" to the menu? [14:37] As in, I would like to add an "About this lab" item [14:37] can anyone help me out? [14:37] KHM7000: Here are some possible options, I can't argue with you about your cd so here are the options. Your cd is broke, or your computer can't install ubuntu using the livecd. [14:37] I think it has to do with going into rescue mode or something [14:37] okay [14:37] KHM7000: the only answers I have it to try another medium [14:37] Space-Wolf: yes [14:38] okay spaceghost;p [14:38] Space-Wolf: what is your problem? [14:38] UCCAdmin: use System > Preferences > Main Menu to edit the menu [14:38] I just installed ubuntu using wubi, and when I select it in the boot manager, grub comes up and says something like "minimal Bash-like..." something and wants me to type commands, it doesn't load up ubuntu or give me options to load it as usual [14:38] UCCAdmin: you can edit menus to add your own programs. and with zenity doing an About dialog should be pretty easy === skyn3t_ is now known as skyn3t [14:39] Then go into windows and reinstall it. The best idea is to burn the ISO to a disk and install like that. [14:39] I'm not in front of my machine right now, but will that allow me to add it near the "About Ubuntu" and "About Gnome" sections? I don't recall being able to do that but I could be mistaken [14:39] my laptop unfortunately does not have a disk drive [14:39] * SpaceGhost thinks erUSUL is a wealth of knowledge, a faunt if you will. [14:39] a reinstall is the best option though? [14:39] Space-Wolf: Then try to make a bootable USB drive [14:39] why firefox prevent other windows from being minimized? [14:40] UCCAdmin: checked right now and you are right. the about links are not editable :| [14:40] using wubi to install it worked on my other laptop though [14:40] Space-Wolf: :) [14:40] mgv1: short answer.. it doesn't ... the minimize button disappears or just doesn't work? [14:40] mgv1: it sshouldnt, if you alt+tab to a window with firefox running an maximised, can you not minimise the other app? [14:41] SpaceGhost: :) [14:41] Space-Wolf: then ask your other laptop to tell your current to play nicely. I cannot make your laptop play nice. I can offer other options to do what you want though. [14:41] Space-Wolf, wubi is ok for experimenting , but you are restricted to a 30G partition , a separate partition install is best [14:42] Slart, ActionParsnip when i try to click over windows like keepassx the windows doesnt always goes to the tray [14:42] I wanted to change my boot choices. Went to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and it doesn't exist! Where is that hidden in ubuntu 9.10 ? [14:42] how do i get rid of the trash so i can just right click and delete? [14:42] I understand that, I'll probably make a new partition sometime in the future but I figured wubi would do fine for now. Do you have any idea how to fix this grub problem though? [14:42] !grub2 | HilBilly [14:42] does anyone know the command that runs when you choose 'Shut Down...' from the System menu? I am fairly certain it is gnome-session but I do not know the arguments [14:42] HilBilly: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [14:42] mgv1: do you have the "windows list" application on the bottom bar?

[14:43] ActionParsnip, no i dont have windows list [14:43] i think i have a relativly simple question. [14:43] ActionParsnip: that isnt what i need, i need the one that pops up the dialog to confirm [14:43] mgv1: could be why [14:43] thank you. [14:43] PsyberS: i see [14:43] Well, required a partial upgrade too, but it's completely done now. Nice. [14:43] ActionParsnip, how do i get a list of running applications? [14:43] UCCAdmin: it should be but i dunno how. sorry [14:44] Space-Wolf, did you try windows , fixmbr? [14:44] mgv1: add the windows list: rigt click bar -> add item then add windows list [14:44] mgv1, rigjht click on your panel and "add to panel" [14:44] PsyberS: mm.. I agree it's probably gnome-session.. not the little menu that shows up, that's probably a gnome-panel thing or similar, but gnome-session does the actual logging out, shutting down thnigy.. you've checked the man page? [14:44] hey, can anyone recommend a good book for ubuntu or linux?

I had this same problem a few months ago, but fixed it (according to the post-it I stuck to the machine) by adding 'sata_nv.adma=0' to the F6 boot line. Unfortunately, when I try that now I just get 'Unknown option sata_nv.adma=0, ignoring' ...anybody know what changed? Or how I can work around this to get Ubuntu instal [15:06] led on this machine?

[15:10] how does one connect using ciscovpn and still have local intranet/internet access? [15:10] G226: I don't know, but it might be a good feature to request. [15:10] dtownhero | Would Front be my speakers (I'm in class right now so I can't test it until I get home) [15:10] hum, ChogyDan, I've no idea how to request it ;P [15:10] Climhazzard: I've tried making sense of which is which to no avail, probably just have to play around with it. [15:12] i am back. and feel so much like a noob. [15:12] G226: hmm, yeah, I've no idea either. Used to be that you filed a bug with the title or tag as [feature request] but Im not sure anymore.. Maybe there were just too many! [15:12] dtownhero | Thanks, I'll look into it more when I get home [15:12] a good day to help newbies [15:12] leperkaun I was there myself last night compiling a kernel for the first time in years. [15:13] how much it take? [15:13] to compile a kernel [15:13] jimmy__ took me 3 tries to get a bootable system :) [15:14] Hey can you help with xubuntu also here? [15:16] I have desktop drapes in my Startup Programs but it doesn't run until i run "drapes" from command line [15:16] ChogyDan: but the strangest part is that.. sometimes i can hear it very clearly... and sometimes its hopeless.. === root is now known as Guest61163 [15:17] Well so far everything suggests to me that Ubuntu has an ongoing upgrade path am I mistaken in that assumption? [15:18] wrapster1: Is the noise just in Skype only, or does it happen as well when you record anything through the microphone through other applications? [15:18] i am trying to get my usb wireless card to work (wusb600n made by linksys) and i know that it doesnt work right off. but people have gotten it to work and i tried to follow "simple" instructions on how to get it to work. but i am a noob and failed at following them. (as i do not understand what some terms mean) [15:18] wrapster1: yeah, I really don't know. By Lucid, we will all switch to empathy/pidgin anyway. [15:18] leperkaun: link? [15:19] finding it now...

The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! [15:19] louise: too [15:19] Hello~~~? [15:19] ChogyDan: now it worked... after i disabled pulse audio. [15:19] Is SpaceGhost here? [15:20] wrapster1: yeah, PA gives lots of people trouble [15:20] If you install ubuntu 9.10 on a windows box does it have the option to resize the partition and dualboot w/ windows w/o losing windows data/reinstalling windows? [15:20] yeah even though I hate the no root login deal maybe I'll go with ubuntu [15:20] scottj_: Yes, or if you are relunctant to mess with file system, just install through Wubi [15:20] BW is there any way to login as root running Ubuntu? [15:21] How do I go about playing .avi? Ubuntu cannot find the plugin ;x [15:21] BTW even [15:21] ChogyDan: but you will not believe this.. to get the audio input right on skype.. I need to first disable pulseaudio.. then start skype. it will all be fine.. But in the background pulseaudio seems to automatically start up again.. coz after i disconnected from skype and ran a pgrep , i could see that pulseaudio was running. [15:21] Sexraider mplayer [15:21] thank you. [15:21] ubuntus default multimedia app is a bit lacking ...

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [15:22] sudo apt-get install vlc wrapster1: What are you Skype sound input and output configured as?

[15:24] ubuntu 9.10, my resolution keeps changing after restrat/logout what should I do? [15:25] wrapster1, did you setup your mic in sound prefs? [15:25] lkks do you want to record? [15:25] wrapster1: What about the option of allowing Skype to adjust your mixer level? Is it enabled or disabled? [15:25] lkks if you do try an app called audacity [15:25] should i get ubuntu instead of win 7? [15:25] khensthoth: its enabled... automatically it mixes... [15:26] gnome-sound-recorder i can record usin this, but wat i want is like a team chat [15:26] wrapster1: Try disabling that see if helps with anything, and adjust your Mic Capture and Mic Boost level in alsamixer until you are satisfied with it.

[16:08] GEOS, I think you're looking for something like cygwin ? [16:08] no no no nonono wubu or vpc and vw [16:08] GEOS: maybe you just want cygwin ? [16:08] GEOS: you're honestly not making much sense [16:08] !gr [16:08] #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές / #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes [16:08] im am [16:08] GEOS: cmd doesn't use linux, it's a shell program for windows; if you want to use linux use cygwin, wubi, or virtualbox [16:08] GEOS, do you mean a wubi install [16:08] com on guys its easy [16:09] no wubi === danl is now known as danl[off] [16:09] i got wubi installd [16:09] GEOS, then explain yourself in clear language, all on one line. [16:09] GEOS: install ubuntu in virtualbox and then type in VBoxStart.exe [Name of your ubuntu virtual machine] or something, after creating an ubuntu virtual machine [16:09] GEOS, what exactly are you trying to achieve ? [16:09] GEOS : google is your ONLY friend [16:09] lol [16:09] bradpitt: not funny or helpful [16:09] bradpitt, please dont recommend that here [16:09] !google > bradpitt [16:09] bradpitt, please see my private message [16:10] i jist what to run linux IN CMD OV my WINDOWS XP [16:10] !google ? SuperPii [16:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:10] !google > SuperPii [16:10] hi. does anyone recommend using a firewall if i'm on ubuntu behind a firewalled router? [16:10] SuperPii, please see my private message === acovrig_ is now known as acovrig [16:10] guys, what's the use of the frequency scaling? What happen if I set it to 100%? [16:10] isolat3dsh33p, you waste energy [16:10] GEOS, sorry cant understand what that means [16:10] GEOS, a linux-like command shell, or a full linux operating system under XP ? [16:10] GEOS, aah [16:10] Helsinkiii: not really.. unless you want to work with the firewall for some reason [16:11] frostburn, owh, but if I have power supply, it's ok right? [16:11] i heva win and linux dual boot [16:11] GEOS: the problem is a language barrier. We do not understand what it is you want. please try asking in #ubuntu-gr [16:11] GEOS, do you mean gnuwin?? [16:11] adn wubi === danl[off] is now known as danl [16:11] how its called anyway [16:11] need assistce. In Gnome, all apps have NO minimize, close buttons [16:11] also, all apps start MAXIMIZED [16:11] Slart: i thought, maybe for extra security? [16:12] isolat3dsh33p, all that means is that your cpu can run at a frequency lower than 100% at all times, this is typically used in laptops to preserve battery life [16:12] GEOS, actually, do you mean http://www.mingw.org/ ? [16:12] is there a better alternative to putty ? [16:12] mark_, can you still hit the buttons, but they just aren't visible? [16:12] frostburn, ok, thanks :D [16:12] no, they are gone [16:12] coachz, not that i know of, not for windows, and i have searched around ab it [16:12] click where they xhould be and nothing [16:12] strange [16:13] for linux [16:13] Helsinkiii: well.. security in layers is good, but as with everything you have to balance cost vs risc... for a computer handling vital information for a company then yes.. I would use a separate firewall.. for a home desktop machine.. probably not [16:13] hey, is it normaly that i have lots of processes with same name, like i have 2 xchat processes and 2 trackerd processes, etc ... [16:13] coachz: ssh is the default client [16:13] I've tried a 9.10 live cd -- if i try to start firefox the screen freezes and i have to do a hard shutdown -- is there anything else that i can try? [16:13] guys it very simple [16:13] coachz, you don't need putty on linux, just use the "ssh" command in any shell [16:13] image now [16:13] kubanc, only if you have multiple users logged in [16:13] LabRaTz; why, ideas what this could be? [16:13] i want something that remembers credentials and colors etc [16:13] GEOS, please put it all on ONE line [16:13] How can I update the default dictionary in ubuntu? [16:14] i have boot in windos xp now [16:14] frostburn, no, i'm the oinly one log into the computer [16:14] how do I convince mpd to play 5.1 with alsa? [16:14] VCoolio: are you playing 5.1 audio? or just plain stereo music? [16:14] coachz, you can put credentials in ~/.ssh/. i think you can also write a config file like the one in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and give it per-host options [16:14] kubanc, do a ps -ef|grep xchat see when one was started, and kill them if you want [16:14] frostburn, is it possible that i have logged in 2x with the same user name [16:14] Slart:ok thanks. i'm just paranoid [16:14] nah, i want a gui [16:14] mark_, no idea, really. It just happens to me occasionally, but my buttons still work. [16:15] hu [16:15] hi [16:15] hi [16:15] kubanc, might be, don't think so though, you can also do a pstree to see if it's using a different session [16:15] GEOS, how are you sitting here saying it' simple if you don't know the answer? You are not coming across clearly in a manner which would help us and you are disregarding our attempts to help. You will not get your problem solved this way [16:15] coachz, any by credintials, i assume you mean keys for password-less logons [16:15] Slart: should it matter? shouldn't it otherwise fall back to playing surround the same stream? but let me check [16:15] marc, I dont know that you can ...at least off hand...karmic comes wit dictionares-common 1.2 I believe [16:15] even better [16:15] Helsinkiii: hehe.. then go ahead.. activate the firewall on your ubuntu box.. it doesn't really use a lot of resources so it's not really a big "cost" =) [16:15] yeahh [16:15] asda [16:15] s [16:15] coachz, then maybe use putty with wine, not sure if that works [16:15] asda [16:15] z [16:15] luke: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:15] wine [16:15] 2 [16:15] TheCheeze don't have a cow dude! [16:15] coz_ , thanks. Yeah I just want a more robust dictionary, I get tired of all the little wrong words it thinks it finds [16:16] there's a putty for linux [16:16] ganymede, there's native ports of putty for linux [16:16] huuh [16:16] and iv got open a dos window (CMD) and i whant to long on to my linux but how its that Simple!!!! [16:16] frostburn, oh, whoops, didn't know that [16:16] i was looking for alternatives [16:16] nvm [16:16] luke, did you have a question [16:16] marc, oh I see let me check online [16:16] VCoolio: if I understand things correctly ubuntu only plays 5.1 audio if you use 5.1-audio input.. there might be ways to convert your signal on the go from stereo to 5.1 but I'm not really sure how to do that with mpd.. perhaps dmix if that's still available [16:16] what is a Pastebin URL. [16:16] i want to give a command shellin cmd windows [16:17] paste.ubuntu.com luke [16:17] use wine terminal [16:17] Slart: ok, I'll google that, thx [16:17] GEOS, use a shell program such as PuTTY and configure it to connect to your linux server ... [16:17] paste.ubuntu.com luke [16:17] guys, I can't pause youtube video, what could be the problem? [16:17] frostburn, if i try who command, i have 4 it gives my 4x times username, with the same name but the second column goes like this. tty1, tty7, pts/0, pts/1 [16:17] pfred1, was that necessary? I was just telling him that in order to get the help he needs, he should listen to what is being said. When people ask for help but do not listen to the people that try to help them, it is useless [16:17] !shockwave [16:17] Shockwave is currently only available for Windows. To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave [16:17] marc, there is something named startdict [16:17] !flash [16:17] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [16:18] GEOS, I suspect though that you're dual-booting and want to run your linux under XP, in which cas you need something like virtualbox or vmware [16:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/326952/plain/ [16:18] anyone know if i can flip the Removable Media bit on a usb stick from linux? [16:18] !Gnash [16:18] An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software.

[16:18] Is it possible to force my laptop to use it's speakers, while ignoring the headphone jack (I broke it a while ago, and Ubuntu thinks that there are headphones always plugged in because of it) [16:18] TheCheeze you just seem to be coming off as uptight to me maybe a switch to the decaf could help? [16:18] kubanc, you can hit ctrl alt f1 to log into tty1 and ctrl alt f7 to log back [16:18] My computers crazy [16:18] marc, http://stardict.sourceforge.net/ it is probaby in the repo [16:18] Wrong [16:18] marc, http://linuxgazette.net/issue27/ayers3.html [16:18] coz it is actually www.whereami.com [16:19] luke, what's your Ubuntu support question? [16:19] wrong [16:19] coz_ , thanks! I swear for the life of me I couldn't find that [16:19] pfred1, TheCheeze: play nice.. if you want to argue do it in pm.. not in here... count to 10.. check the !coc and !guidelines [16:19] Paste bin thing [16:19] luke is a bot [16:19] that why i what to lear ! [16:19] marc, hold on there may b [16:19] be more [16:19] No i'm not [16:19] hm, is it possibly that i loged 4 times with kubanc, because i always do ctrl+alt+f7 to clean the swap memory and then log again with the same username [16:19] Bots are cooler LOL [16:19] my hd = [1:winxp, 2:linux, 3:data, 4:[swap, free], free]. I want to move xp to the free space in extended partition. So I used gparted to first copy it, then erase the original. But the copy is not working: the (hd0, 5) in grub menu doesn't boot it (even after fixboot command), however when I add the same partition in boot.ini of the original xp ((hd0, 0)), it works (but with errors after logging in)! So what's the problem? How to make the xp copy get bo [16:19] !ot [16:19] luke, please stop hitting enter [16:19] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [16:19] Climhazzard all headphone jacks i have ever saw are also switches that cut out the speakers physically [16:19] I know Waht i whant [16:20] GEOS: but you aren't explaining it very well, i'm afraid [16:20] #cheese just joined [16:20] frostburn, hm, is it possibly that i loged 4 times with kubanc, because i always do ctrl+alt+backspace to restart x-server, to clean the swap memory and then log again with the same username [16:20] luke, please ask a support question or take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic === Guest77866 is now known as Midnighter [16:20] pfred1 | I thought about that as well, but in the before 9.04, my sound worked [16:21] kubanc, it's possible to run multiple x servers at the same time, go through all your terminals and close them out if there are [16:21] pfred1, Climhazzard: I've seen some laptops that have a separate volume control for the headphones and speakers.. not sure if that's common or rare though [16:21] marc, I believe there is also the free oxford dictionary 6 somewhere online [16:22] FloodBot3 [16:22] Climhazzard OK so it is software you've of course checked your levels in a mixer and made sure your sound module was loaded === [A]KangB is now known as [A]Way [16:22] frostburn, i only have one teminal opened, and that is terminator. the x servers are ok. tty1 is for terminal widnow, and the tty7 is the x-server window [16:23] frostburn, but what is pts/0 and pts/1 [16:23] Slart pfred1 | I looked in alsamixer, I have outputs for Master, Headphone, PCM, and Front. I've made sure that the levels are all above 0, but haven't heard anything from my speakers [16:23] Slart doesn't make a whole lot of sense thats for sure usually when headphones plugged in you don't want expternal sound [16:23] coz_ , Thanks again! [16:24] marc, no problem [16:24] pfred1: yes.. but I think some laptops do that in software [16:24] kubanc, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo_terminal [16:24] Climhazzard no Ms up at the tops of the level meters either right? M = Mute [16:25] Climhazzard alsa has a bad habit of defaulting to mute at start up [16:25] Hello, I have a problm when using Xarchiver on 8.04 minimal install with lxde, on trying to use deb file Iget the mssage: "Failed to execute child process "ar"" not found any useful info via goggles anyone with a clue for me?

[16:28] OP ME [16:28] GEOS, vmware, virtualbox can both do that for you [16:28] Climhazzard I am not so sure about that I'd use lsmod [16:28] !ar | KROWMAN [16:28] KROWMAN: La comunidad local de Argentina se puede encontrar en #ubuntu-ar y en su canal de offtopic: #ubuntu-ar-cafe [16:28] am [16:28] Climhazzard that may come from a config file that in the mixer [16:28] frostburn, " do a which ar" <- could you elaborate for me I'm a bit lost here :) [16:29] frostburn, i opened the link you gave my and now i have 13 processes with name homt/username/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo_terminal [16:29] snobix, at a terminal run... which ar [16:29] ServerBot100: are you a bot? === bendsinister_ is now known as bendsinister [16:29] Climhazzard I'm actually pretty sure I've called up alsamixer with no sound driver loaded [16:29] ubuntu 9.10 is installed on d hard disk which had 9.04 and other data..my friend chose whole drive for installation [16:29] kubanc, can you pastebin a ps -ef [16:29] frostburn, sory the name is homteusername/"path to firefox-bin application"/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo_terminal [16:29] frostburn, I thought so, tried it and straight back to prompt I was, maybe I missed something? [16:30] ganesh_: hmm. well, try some of those tools (make an image first), but it won't be easy at all. [16:30] ganesh_: so your friend chose to overwrite the data [16:30] pfred1 | http://pastebin.org/56747 it looks like it's loaded correctly [16:30] What? [16:30] snobix, that means that ar isn't installed, you can grab it from uh... some package sec [16:30] thankz [16:30] frostburn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/326958/ [16:30] Climhazzard es looks like a lot of sound loaded to me [16:30] ganesh_: then you've probably written other stuff over the data you want to recover.. I would give up on this.. but you can try some of the stuff ubottu suggested.. you might be lucky [16:30] sets ban on bazhang [16:30] k thanks frostburn I will go and seek it [16:31] a program that is dynamically linked to libgmp.so.3 is not finding it. the libgmp.so.3 is in /usr/lib/ directory. do I need to set something?

[16:34] GEOS, nobody understands what you are trying to do, or what you need help with. [16:34] GEOS: that doesn't make sense either.. we're having huge problems understanding what you're describing.. why not try in #ubuntu-gr where they speak greek [16:34] How do i install a theme from GNOMElook? [16:34] compiz + intel 965 + karmic + gnome + reflection plugin + freezing anyone with the same problem and work around [16:34] frostburn, could it be something with that: i installed firefox, and it works ok, but something went wrong ...

[16:44] maco, it's actually the left and middle click at the same time. It works, few times. Thanks anyway. [16:44] pfred1 | No I didn't hear anything [16:44] yes i do [16:44] arghhh going to have to compile the latest version :/ [16:44] hax0r, just alt-f2 then 'gksu nvidia-settings', then click the display you wish to change, then slide the digital vibrance slider. [16:44] mneptok: haha are you saying my fingers got laura's accent [16:44] Climhazzard well you should have [16:44] aaron11_: have you tried just running it? ./yourfile.run ? mark it as executable using chmod or nautilus [16:44] pfred1 | meh [16:44] maco: i hope not. those fingers also grasp large glasses of beer. [16:44] Climhazzard if your sound driver loaded it has to play [16:45] Climhazzard you did it just like this form the dir the file is in cat swedish.au > /dev/audio right? [16:45] pfred1 | it's loaded, I can sound if I plug headphones into the broken jack in the front, it has to be in the perfect spot though [16:45] pfred1 | yeah [16:45] point me to a programming channel please. new to IRC [16:45] Mand0: ##programming might work [16:46] Climhazzard sounds to me like you have to fix that jack because your sound is working on software [16:46] Slart: I went to properties and allowed it to execute file as a program but it says I need to run it as root. How do I [16:46] Mand0, what language ? [16:46] aaron11_: sudo ./yourfile.run [16:47] C++ , using wxWidgets on Ubuntu. [16:47] pfred1 | i think what I am trying to accomplish is to trick alsa into thinking that the headphone jack isn't there, or to make it think there are no headphones plugged in when physically, there technically is because it's broken [16:47] Slart: How about sudo ~/Documents/framework-3.3-linux-i686.run [16:47] Climhazzard, so it tries to send the sound to your phones [16:47] Climhazzard I don't think you can heaphone and speakers are determined by the jack [16:48] aaron11_: yup.. that looks reasonable [16:48] kostkon | I am pretty sure that's the case [16:48] Mand0, try ##C++ or #iso-c++, but it's language only, probably not so much about wxWidgets [16:48] Climhazzard, so, the only hope is if there is a hardware switch available that you can access in alsamixer [16:48] pfred1 | i think alsa is doing that, in the previous version of alsa it would send sound to both my speakers, and my headphones [16:48] Climhazzard, otherwise, you'll need to fix your broken jack [16:49] LabRaTz: How do I make it so that it loads digital vibrance when i log out login...... i don twana keep pressing it [16:49] kostkon you'd need the sound to be demultiplexed in hardware two amplifiers and that just isn't normally done [16:49] thanks. Programming is the only thing tying me to the window ;) [16:49] Mand0, there's a GTK channel #gtk [16:49] pfred1, yeah [16:49] hello! since karmic, the rhythmbox notifications sometimes wont be shown in time. does anyone know this problem? [16:49] Mand0, you can also try the anjuta channel to give you pointeers on how to start [16:49] kostkon they selling you one lappie with one amp in it [16:50] gvim is throwing static_gravity_supported error, anyone knows a fix? [16:50] pfred1, :/ [16:50] I heard anjuta is good. does it have code completion? [16:50] CommanderCool - I think it's a problem with ubuntu's mod of libnotify [16:50] hi, I have a problem with my laptop's keyboard (unknown key released), what can I do ? thanks [16:50] Mand0 - it's pretty good [16:50] Mand0 - It has glade integration [16:50] Mand0: I can also strongly recommend MonoDevelop [16:51] antileet: so i cant do anything against it? [16:51] CommanderCool: You should be able to change that from the Configuration for the Status Icon Plugin in Rhythmbox [16:51] It's not C++, but it's the best IDE I've tried [16:51] @antileet: i'll give it atry. [16:51] antileet got a number i can call for that? ;) [16:51] CommanderCool - I don't know. It broke when I changed my window manager from gnome to awesome3 [16:51] antileet: does it support C++? [16:51] Climhazzard, what happens when you mute the headphones level in alsamixer [16:52] Mand0, why not use eclipse ? [16:52] Mand0 - not really, it's built for C#, but if you're agnostic about the language you use, it's pretty good [16:52] there are also other options - CDT + Eclipse [16:52] antileet gnome isn't a window manager per se [16:52] antileet though lots wished it was! [16:52] I have a htaccess file in a sub-directory of /var/www/ but this one is not working. I read about a file (httpd.conf) thant should be changed, but when I do so, nothing happens, even if I restart apache2 ;) [16:52] pfred1 - oops, yeah :) (I meant desktop environment) [16:52] ---- [16:53] are there any differences if i disable trackerd process? [16:53] anyone know what double layer dvd burner works well on 9.10 K3b [16:53] yes [16:53] antileet yes and with that goes a lot of associated "stuff" [16:53] pfred1 - I like gnome + metacity, but it doesn't have the strong keybinding support [16:53] what u're trying to do DjAngo23? [16:53] khensthoth: thank you, that was it. i did not expect it there. [16:53] i had two 2.1 speaker and i want it to act like 5.1 ch speaker (different channel in every speaker) while playing dvd. what should i install or configure? maybe sth like ac3 filter. please help. thanks :) [16:53] kostkon | still no sound, but I think it mutes everything globally it shows a red x by the speaker in the volume control area on the taskbar [16:53] I want to start off on the right track. I will need a GUI. wanting to make a POS program. [16:53] antileet I love a lot of gnome apps just never cared for gnome itself [16:53] Climhazzard, not necessarily. hmm [16:53] pfred - What do you use for managing windows? dwm? [16:54] for some reason my screen is flashing ever 30 secs or so [16:54] Can someone Help me install nvidia-settings permanently into ubuntu 9.1 [16:54] Mand0 - I've written a lot of C++ apps with GUI. The best way is to use gtkmm with glade [16:54] I tried gksu nvidia-settings save configuration and it still dont work [16:54] antileet that would be a long and checkered list but now I'm OK with KDE [16:54] Climhazzard, do you get more volumes when you press F4 in alsamixer? [16:54] but that has a very steep learning curve [16:54] antileet if i want really light I still pick windowmaker or blackbox [16:54] nostracracko: Redirecting http://localhost/CI/site/page/3 to index.php?foo=baar&.... [16:54] pfred1 - have you tried the "awesome" window manager? [16:55] I know some VB.net but I want to make my stuff portable (easier to). [16:55] kostkon | no [16:55] antileet can't say as I've ever even heard of it my days of switching window managers are behind me pretty much [16:55] Mand0 - The learning curve is rather steep in the gtkmm + C++ + automake path [16:55] kostkon | I've looked through all the volumes that I can configure, I'm pretty sure Front are my speakers [16:56] Mand0, try gtk.org for good documentation for gui widgets [16:56] the best way is to use something like Anjuta which automates things like makefiles, etc and integrates with a GUI designer [16:56] does someone know a way to make top display memory usage in megabytes rather than kilobytes? it has too many digits for easy reading [16:56] if you want to stick to C++, I'd recommend Anjuta as a starting point [16:56] Heck, you can "apt-get install gnome-devel" and get all the packages [16:56] Mand0 - the last metapackage gives you all the stuff you need to build gnome apps - libs, docs, ides, etc [16:56] antileet : ur opinion on this... if I want to stop using wind0ws then I should not care about porting my apps to it. right? [16:56] Climhazzard, hmm. so when you mute the headphones, do PCM and master also get muted? [16:57] i'm having a problem with debmirror - i'm using it the way the ubuntu documentation says to but it's giving me a million and a half "missing:" errors. anyone know what's wrong? [16:57] Mand0, apps written in gtk and C are easily ported to windows [16:57] Mand0 - porting is too much trouble. I used to write C++ but now I'm stuck on C#, which should be slightly easier to port if that was your legacy codebase [16:57] kostkon | No, just the headphones [16:57] Climhazzard, ok [16:57] My antialising isn't working with compiz [16:57] i have 260M nvidia , karmic 9.1, and i put nvidia-settings on max options [16:57] DjAngo23 i'd PM u.. easier to talk [16:57] kostkon | I'm unable to mute PCM though, although I'm not sure if I am supposed to be able to [16:58] Climhazzard, hmm [16:58] antileet: how similar is C# to VB [16:58] Climhazzard, ok. and what ubuntu ver do you have? [16:58] Mand0 - In fact, I would suggest first building simple gnome apps before trying to port. BEcause you can always get the platform independent code on linux [16:58] Mand0 - not at all, except in some aspects. C# is somewhat like C++ with a better stdlib, delegate support and other benefits [16:59] I'd suggest poking around on #mono on irc.gimp.org. [16:59] Mand0 - Plus, you'll never have to deal with pointers again :) === nick is now known as Guest90602 [16:59] antileet: I'm starting to learn C++. so starting to learn something else won't be a prob. [16:59] how can i install the drivers for my "up to 512 ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 XT HyperMemory" on Linux ? [16:59] ganymede, have you tried htop ? === Guest90602 is now known as came0 [17:00] Mand0 - I feel it might be a more enjoyable experience working with that stack. I personally recommend it over some experience on all three sides (C++/C#/PyGtk) [17:01] joeyeye, oh, i'm actually writing a script to deploy on a bunch of machines to monitor them and i'd like to avoid pulling in extra packages that don't come with ubuntu out of the box [17:01] I've been reading about creating a USB stick installation... But everything I've found creates a "live boot" installation. What's the difference between a "normal" server install and a live boot image? [17:01] kostkon | karmic [17:01] ganymede, and you want to poll for memory/swap size etc ? [17:01] Mand0 - I gotta get going, message me if there's anything I can help you with. The gnome devel channels might offer more help than I can though [17:02] Climhazzard, does this work: amixer -c 0 sset 'Headphone Jack Sense' mute [17:02] joeyeye, yeah, i was using "free -m" before but i guess i can just get it into one command i use top [17:02] ganymede, how about using free -m === ConsoleKing is now known as AfeRaTa [17:02] ganymede, ah ... been there ... [17:02] joeyeye, and not to mention that free -m and top somehow report different numbers... [17:03] kostkon | amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Headphone Jack Sense',0 [17:03] Climhazzard, :/ [17:03] Where does Ubuntu hide Firefox personal bookmarks? [17:03] And why? [17:03] mark_: youre trying to find the file where mozilla saves them on linux? [17:03] Climhazzard, can you paste the output of: amixer scontrols [17:03] how can i install the drivers for my "up to 512 ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 XT HyperMemory" on Linux ? [17:04] Climhazzard, use a pastebin of course [17:04] what is the command to reload your .bashrc file? [17:04] mark_: should be ~/.mozilla/firefox//bookmarkbackups/.json [17:04] Yes waco. And it's not in the .mozilla folder [17:04] joeyeye, wait, i just realized. in free -m, to go from total used to the +/- buffers/catch line, i would take the total used from top and subtract (buffers + cache) ? [17:04] like if I made changes in it and don't want to restart x [17:04] kostkon | http://pastebin.org/56754 [17:05] dtownhero: source ~/.bashrc [17:05] thx mikc [17:05] When I do sudo service ssh start I get the folling message: /etc/init.d/ssh: 1: AMDPCSDBV1: not found [17:05] Climhazzard, hmm [17:05] Sorry. Maco [17:05] Climhazzard, lets see [17:05] dtownhero: it will reload only in active shell. You will have to do that in all your terminal windows [17:06] mikc: k thanks [17:06] <_5moufl> hi [17:06] The bookmarkbackups folder is empty [17:07] mark_: there might be a bookmarks.xml or bookmarks.html but firefox3 is supposed to be all json [17:07] mark_: er, json and sqlite [17:07] joeyeye, never mind, i lost all interest in learning how to read free -m, i'll just stick with top [17:07] how can i install the drivers for my "up to 512 ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 XT HyperMemory" on Linux ? [17:07] mark_: its possible bookmarks are part of places.sqlit [17:07] help me :( [17:07] mark_: I tried looking for this last night and could not find it... was trying to import my bookmarks to the new opera [17:07] mark_: blah places.sqlite === Dink|W is now known as Dink [17:07] Climhazzard, then try: amixer -c 0 sset 'Headphone' mute [17:08] dtownhero: i think you can still get firefox to export a bookmarks.html for that purpose [17:08] There's a bookmarks.html file but that's only the default ones maco [17:08] Yes, it's annoying isn't it dtown [17:08] mark_: yeah your bookmarks are somewhere in a database because mozilla decided that's the way to go [17:08] Climhazzard, also, i can see two "input source" hmm [17:08] mark_: perhaps irc.mozilla.org is a better place to ask [17:09] anybody knows why i have 6 processes of getty running? [17:09] kostkon | Ones for my mic jack, and I have a microphone built into the laptop with the webcam [17:09] Why would they know where Ubuntu puts their bookmarks? [17:09] kubanc: for ctrl alt f1-f6 [17:09] mark_: because its not ubuntu specific [17:09] Climhazzard, the other could be the headhphones jack [17:09] mark_: its firefox specific [17:09] Climhazzard, did amixer -c 0 sset 'Headphone' mute change anything? [17:09] mark_: its where firefox puts its bookmarks on every linux distro [17:10] It's my bookmarks I want [17:10] kostkon | It muted the headphone jack but I still can't get any sound [17:10] Climhazzard, ok [17:10] Anyway, I need to make dinner [17:10] I'll try later [17:10] Bye for now [17:10] mark_: really, mozilla would know [17:10] mark_: its their code that puts it there [17:11] *sigh* some people dont listen [17:11] maco: excuse me? sorry, i wasn't listening. [17:11] Climhazzard: konstkon: Just throwing out ideas here, would "amixer -c 0 sset 'Headphone Jack Sense' mute" work or help? [17:11] Hi. I installed wdm login manager, but it doesn't start on boot. Now when I boot I just get the tty prompt. [17:12] khensthoth | i tried that earlier, it said that it couldn't be found [17:13] Hello, i need help quick please. My computer "stopped" on startup after having activated the ATI propitary driver, and activating MTA(whatever that is). I could not log into shell 1, but i could log into shell 2-4. Help? [17:13] is there any way of getting flash to work as fast as in windows? [17:13] d4non: Sadly, no <.< [17:13] Empathy doesn't show IRC Room List [17:13] or Linux version of flashplugin is just terrible and nothing can be done === xxx is now known as michele35 [17:13] looks like a bug [17:13] d4non: not without Adobe's help. welcome to non-free software. [17:13] had to revert to pidgin [17:13] screw adobe [17:13] antileet : thanks for your tips. === michele35 is now known as luca35 [17:13] d4non: The best think you can do is to deactivate compiz [17:14] Climhazzard, you have an intel card right? [17:14] thx delly [17:14] would be nice if empathy worked with IRC [17:14] Climhazzard, what is the output of your aplay -l again [17:14] how do I optimize apt-get do download once and share with other ubuntu nodes in my network ? [17:14] kostkon | ALC268 [17:15] pidgin seems to be better anyway [17:15] I installed DW something manager and then Cairo dock, now I can't get the cube effeect. or event the " extra " visual effects. [17:15] Climhazzard, :/ [17:15] kostkon | http://pastebin.org/56759 [17:15] how do you cancel a print job? [17:15] What does this mean? I can't install Ubuntu and I get this error message [17:15] "disk error 10 ax = 4280 drive ef" === ame is now known as _GoRDoN_ [17:17] hi [17:17] drive ef? is that hdd or dvdwriter/cd? [17:17] Climhazzard, ok. so, headphones is muted and front, pcm and master aren't [17:17] Hello, i need help quick please. My computer "stopped" on startup after having activated the ATI propitary driver, and activating MTA(whatever that is). I could not log into shell 1, but i could log into shell 2-4. Help? It also stuck itself on sudo, which means I only can use cat to diangnostic anything. [17:17] Adam75, is that error from accessing the DVD/CD drive ? [17:17] kostkon | correct [17:17] would be good if Empathy was Pidgin, but it only tries and fails [17:17] joeyeye; It's from trying to install from a DvD cd.. [17:17] Climhazzard, ok. and did you try to setup your sound? [17:18] Climhazzard, i mean in system → prefs → sound [17:18] kostkon | yeah [17:18] Climhazzard, ok [17:18] can anyone help installing madwifi driver for atheros 928x [17:18] ath9k suck [17:18] dpkg is is freaking out, whenever I try to install or remove any package, it tells me to "sudo dpkg --configure python-support", but that just gives me a traceback concerning '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/screenlets/__init__.pyc'? anyone got any ideas? [17:19] Adam75, sounds like a possible bad burn of the DVD/CD [17:19] kostkon | when I mute the headphones it mutes everything in system -> pref > sound [17:19] joeyeye; Tried several different cd's.. works fine on other computers [17:19] Climhazzard, oh right. [17:19] kostkon | but it doesn't mute master or front in alsamixer [17:19] Climhazzard, what about PCM? [17:19] Climhazzard, does it get muted? [17:19] kostkon | nope [17:19] if you have the headphone plugged in and in mute... I guest the computer assumes you don't want to hear anything at all., [17:20] Climhazzard, it's 100% volume and unmuted? [17:20] kostkon | it wont let me mute pcm though [17:20] kostkon | yeah [17:20] Adam75, this is prior to kernel loading right ? [17:20] joeyeye; Yes! [17:20] Climhazzard, ok. what device have oyu selected in the hardware tab and what profile, also what do you see in input and output tabs? [17:21] <_akahige_> anybody running guake with the latest karmic updates? it was running fine for me, but something in the updates hosed it big time... [17:21] delly: can you boot up in recovery mode [17:21] Climhazzard, is this a clean install of ubuntu or an upgrade? [17:21] is there a better driver for atheros 928x than ath9k [17:21] hi, how can I get a list of all files matching serialui.* in a folder and its subfolders? Like what dir serialui.* /s would do for Microsoft? [17:21] Adam75, it's possible then that your cd/dvd drive is failing to read the dvd/cd media. Reboot into BIOS and de-select any features realted to the DVD/CD drive that accelerate it if there are any. [17:21] Hello everyone. Has anyone tried dualbooting Win7 and 9.10? I failed on my first attempt during the partition stage. I had selected install alongside windows and choose OS on each boot. Now that option is missing. From what I read on the forums there may be an issue with this as the Grub version has changed to Grub2. Am I trying to do something impossible? [17:21] kostkon | It's a clean install... In hardware it says Internal audio, 1 output, 1 input. [17:21] kaddi: find . -iname "serialui.*" [17:22] Adam75, the bootloader is having problems reading the media [17:22] has anyone successfully installed adobe air on 64 bit yet??? i cant seem to get it to work [17:22] kostkon | in output it says Internal Audio Analog Stereo [17:22] joeyeye; such as? [17:22] kostkon | The connector is Analog output [17:22] Climhazzard, other connectors available? [17:22] Adam75, ... depends on your BIOS ... also is the media CD-R, CD-RW ? DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW ? [17:22] kostkon | Analog Headphones is [17:22] Climhazzard, also, what other profiles are available in hardware? [17:23] joeyeye; DvD-R [17:23] Climhazzard, oh, try both of them [17:23] then [17:23] Adam75, can you boot in to another OS on that machine and rip the DVD to ISO ? [17:23] Pici awesome thanks, I guess I was looking at the wrong command. :) [17:23] kostkon | Analog Stereo Duplex (which is selected), Analog Stereo Input, and Analog Stereo Output [17:23] danielsevigny: I dualboot win7 and 9.10, both 64bit [17:24] Climhazzard, ok. try allo the possible combos including the connectors [17:24] joeyeye; It's a public computer. It was win 2000 on it but someone changed the admin password so I can't access it [17:24] Slart how did you do it? Did you have Win7 or 9.10 first? [17:24] kostkon | I did that earlier and couldn't get anything :| [17:24] Climhazzard, and w8 to find a way to play something only using alsa and not pulse [17:24] Climhazzard, did you try every combo [17:24] Adam75, ah... maybe the drive is dirty/hosed in some way then. [17:24] danielsevigny: the guided install is not always the best, which is what you tried to do. if you do manual install you get much more control over the partitining, also Grub 2 the boot loader should just detect Windows 7 really, but I think a few or so people have had issues [17:25] Adam75, do you know the make/model/year of the DVD drive ? [17:25] joeyeye; No, not really ;/ [17:25] danielsevigny: I installed ubuntu first.. then I had to disable all other harddrives except the one where I wanted win 7, since win 7 just has to live on the first hard drive,.. after the win7 install I reactivated my other drives and all was fine [17:25] danielsevigny i had multi-boot [17:25] Morning everyone. [17:25] joeyeye; There's a RW mark on it.. [17:25] win first [17:26] kostkon | yeah, I just double checked too [17:26] Adam75, it's possible that the drive can't read the media successfully consistently ... older drives especially with writeable/rewriteable media [17:26] joeyeye; but i get into grub.. doesn't that mean it can read it? [17:26] So If I go ahead and install the whole drive as Xubuntu and then gpart it in half (it's a 1TB drive.) Can I then reasign the disk order? [17:26] that way Win7 gets the first drive? [17:26] Whenever I run WINE, my video driver (NVIDIA) locks up. This is a relatively new occurrence, last two weeks or so. Anyone have an idea why? [17:26] danielsevigny: not exactly [17:26] Climhazzard, eh, cd to a folder that contains audio files, and tru this. not sure it will work though: pasuspender aplay file.mp3 [17:27] Adam75, yes it can read it, but it's possible the burn is bad (but you said you proved that it's ok elsewhere), so the drive may have mechanical issues ... [17:27] danielsevigny: it's easier to install Windows first, with no other partitions on there already [17:27] danielsevigny: and then put Ubuntu/Xubuntu on [17:27] Thats the status of the drive right now. Win7 is on it but Ubuntu is not. [17:27] joeyeye; So you think putting it on a regular CD instead would be better? And try the other drive? [17:27] sec sebsebseb [17:27] How do I go about putting Ubuntu on it now? [17:27] nostracracko: hmm? [17:27] danielsevigny: I thought you said Grub 2 was on there? [17:27] Adam75, yes - put on a CD-R and retry [17:28] does ubuntu come with a program preinstalled, or what should i look for, to write, run, and compile basic/vb code, preferably be able to read .bas files [17:28] nvm [17:28] Adam75, even in the DVD drive it may work [17:28] When using quotas is the only time repquota gets updated is when quotacheck is ran ? Is there an automated process for on the fly checking? [17:28] Shame on you! I thought updates that require reboot only existed in windows! [17:28] joeyeye; I'm just wondering what the error message means.. "disk error 10 ax = 4280 drive ef" [17:28] Not yet. The insttaller did not finish the first time. [17:28] hi [17:29] danielsevigny: Also if WIndows 7 is like Vista, since a newer version of NTFS than what's in XP, if it's like that which I assume it is, you should probably really let it resize itself, or you might get data loss [17:29] kostkon | nothing still.. perhaps I should downgrade alsa to what it was in 8.04? [17:29] hi any programs which will underclock my cpu when i want to? [17:29] c3l, no anything touching the kernel requires a reboot [17:29] where can i put font files (ttf file) which dir ? [17:29] Climhazzard, w8, in alsamixer do you see any switches there? [17:30] babak: ~/.fonts [17:30] Younder, i remember updating the kernel in archlinux, without rebooting ;o [17:30] babak: you might have to create it first [17:30] Slart: this command is for install fonts? [17:30] kostkon | no, unless i am majorly overlooking something. [17:30] joeyeye; the EF letters must be the cd+dvd drive, right? [17:30] danielsevigny: you can try manual install, but you might want to let Windows 7 resize itself first [17:31] gpm daemon is running so why is there no cursor in terminal? [17:31] babak: just copy the font files to that folder [17:31] Climhazzard, sure? [17:31] kostkon | yeah [17:31] Climhazzard, :/ [17:31] Adam75, not sure ... disk error 10 will be from the BIOS ... probably a read or seek error [17:31] sebsebseb Windows 7 currently has the entire disk. What do mean by letting it resize itself? [17:32] danielsevigny: I haven't used the final of Windows 7, but with Vista, there's a feature built in so that it can resize itself, and when it's running. the partition that it's on. I am not sure about now, but before if Gparted was used to re size a Vista partition, data loss would maybe happen. [17:32] joeyeye; the primarly ide slave is the cd rom reader, should i remove all who concerns the cd reader? [17:32] hi [17:32] i'm new user [17:32] Slart: how can i find this path? [17:32] Slart: what is your mean from ~ ? [17:32] man irss [17:33] babak: that is your home folder.. /home/youruser [17:33] danielsevigny i think u can use karmic to resize the partition from the 'back' [17:33] hmmm that may be something to look at... It's an MSDN version of Win7 so I don't realy know what it's enabled with. I had it before Win7 was officially released. [17:33] babak: ~ is the same as your home folder.. ie /home/babak so ~/.fonts is the same as /home/babak/.fonts [17:33] babak: ~ is just a shortcut [17:33] Adam75, sorry - didn't follow that ... can you go over what's physically connected - disk drives and cd/dvd drives [17:33] that way u won't lose any data, i presume it's still new [17:33] babak, that means home or in this case /home/username [17:33] Slart did you get your nick from Hitchhikers? [17:33] babak: more than likely you'll need to create that folder. [17:33] danielsevigny: yes =) [17:33] hi [17:33] joeyeye; 1x dvd rw drive, 1x cd rom drive.. [17:34] babak, username being your account name [17:34] i have a doubt , is it possible to use a software like partition magic and partition a disk that u are currently using [17:34] Nice! Do you know what the two most non random random numbers are? === fran is now known as Guest97243 [17:34] Climhazzard, you could try searching for "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf ALC268" [17:34] danielsevigny: well you can find out in ##windows about how you would let it re size itself [17:34] thevishy: nope.. use a live cd [17:34] I have a 80 GB disk with c partition with windows installed [17:34] okthanks [17:34] danielsevigny: with Vista that didn't always go that well, and Vista would still take up loads more space, than what was needed [17:34] 17 and 42.... take a guess as to why 42 is so commo... lolz. [17:34] Slart: i don't have font folder in this path /home/baber what do i have to do? [17:35] mkdir and then chown it to baber [17:35] danielsevigny: what's that? [17:35] danielsevigny, duglas adams.. [17:35] hey do anybody have admin [17:35] danielsevigny: I have all my partitions on 100MB [17:35] then i put different OS on each [17:35] babak: as I said "you might have to create it first".. you can create it using nautilus or using a terminal "mkdir ~/.fonts" should work [17:35] Adam75, it's not likely a conflict between the cd and dvd drives, more likely the dvd drive itself. If there's a BIOS option to disable the RW feature, it may be worth a try [17:35] I'll figure this out this afternoon. [17:35] danielsevigny: i have several win versions, with jaunty and karmic [17:36] ubuntu 9.10 karmic 64 bit, my system has decided it no longer has sound [17:36] Whiper: admin? [17:36] hey i wanted to do some chatting with girls ? [17:36] Adam75, did you check the md5 hashsums of the ISOs you bured ? [17:36] Whiper: not on this channel, and for that matter not on this network [17:36] Whiper: wrong channel.. go somewhere else [17:36] joeyeye; I burned 6 of em so one should be right atleast [17:36] Slart: i have a folder with this name .fontconfig [17:36] do you know any of the channel [17:36] Adam75, you burned 6 dvds ? [17:36] whiper: turn off the glowy box in front of you. that's a good place to start [17:36] kostkon | http://pastebin.org/56767 [17:36] babak: not the same thing [17:36] !channel > Whiper (Whiper, see the private message from ubottu) [17:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about channel [17:36] !channels > Whiper (Whiper, see the private message from ubottu) [17:36] Attempted alsa force-reload and it stated cannot create directory /var/run/alsa [17:36] joeyeye; Yes.. [17:37] Climhazzard, also you could try installing linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic that offers some backported drivers from the newest alsa [17:37] Adam75, all the same ? the livecd ? [17:37] Slart: now i make a folder with this name .font? [17:37] joeyeye; The windows vista cd works [17:37] OMG i just realized what's going on here.... The system is still using the Vista loader.... [17:37] in2rd: clean install or upgrade? [17:37] babak: read what I told you before.. [17:37] danielsevigny: well that makes sense, since you said Grub 2 wasn't on there [17:37] Adam75, is the vista dvd original media, or rw ? [17:37] how i install a tar.gz file ? [17:38] danielsevigny: however when you installed Ubuntu, it should have put it on [17:38] joeyeye; dvd-r like all other dvd [17:38] frankely: only you know that.. and the people you downloaded it from [17:38] frankely: a .tar.gz file is simply an archive (similar to a .zip file); how you install something that's on it depends on what's on it. [17:38] frankely: tar.gz is just a packed file.. like .zip or .rar [17:38] I didn't get through the entire installation. It failed at the partitioner.... It litterally hung for over 20 minutes [17:38] joeyeye; To be honest, I don't know if it works yet. But when I left the store it was still running (the installation that is) [17:38] danielsevigny: ok that's why there isn't Grub 2 on there then [17:38] oh.. in this case is emessene 1.5, anyone knows how to install it? === jmrodri is now known as jmrodri-lunch [17:38] Adam75, to confirm - you have installed from the dvd-r ubuntu dvd successfully elsewhere ? [17:38] i actually get some response from the mouse in terminal but it only seems to randomly select text and doesn't follow movements at all [17:39] frankely: it could be anything.. pictures of spanish automobiles, source code, latest binary of quake 3.. [17:39] YES! The option to install side by side is back! I switched to the OEM install..... [17:39] danielsevigny: failed at the partitoner hmm [17:39] i make a folder with this name .fonts then copy ttf file in that but now it don't work correctly [17:39] frankely: there's probably instructions in the file.. or on the site where you got it [17:39] frankely: don't download stuff like that and try installing it. emesene 1.5.1 is installed by using the repositories [17:39] !software > frankely (frankely, see the private message from ubottu) [17:39] How to force MTA to not start on boot? [17:39] babak: you might have to restart any programs using the fonts.. openoffice and such [17:39] joeyeye; I had no problem booting it, I did not install it.. with a usb stick I sometime get into X but when I do it gets really slow.. then it says can't partion to ext4 or ext3 depnding on what version i try [17:39] frankely: typing "sudo apt-get install emesene" in a terminal will get it installed. [17:39] danielsevigny: there seems to be something about Karmic not detecting/likeing certain drives, but the previous version should be ok [17:39] i know, but the version which is in the repos is an old version [17:39] what program should i use to program, compile, and run qbasic code? [17:40] hey i need a geek [17:40] Slart: i eant use pdfreader [17:40] i am full of question [17:40] Adam75, but I though you said there was error 10 during install ? [17:40] Duergar: there's a couple of basic interpreters/compilers.. not sure which ones are compatible with qbasic.. have you looked at freebasic? [17:40] danielsevigny: it's probably not this, but maybe you got a bad CD [17:40] Alrighty... now before I go any further.... Should I use the partitioner manual partition and set it for half like I planned or install side by side and wait untill it completes assuming it's just really slow... (win7 took forever) [17:40] would the ubuntu installer give me the option of resizing my parition ? [17:40] Whiper: just ask any ubuntu-related questions [17:41] joeyeye; Yes, that is so. But live-cd works.. the installation fails [17:41] slart: i don't even know where to begin honestly. lol. i was booted into xp using the old program i had. i'll see if i can find that. thanks! [17:41] kostkon | meh.. I just installed the backport drivers, do I need to set them up or anything [17:41] thevishy: yes [17:41] Thevishy yes it would. [17:41] Hardware tests seemed to go okay [17:41] Climhazzard, you need to reboot [17:41] joeyeye; I get the error message when trying to install Ubuntu Alenatate cd.. cuz I can't insatll from live-cd [17:41] thevishy: well not all partitions I guess uhmm, well it can re size Windows [17:41] Duergar: also googling for "qbasic ubuntu" or "qbasic linux" might get you some hits [17:41] i just wanted to know is there any login ubuntu if we do have username and pass [17:41] kostkon | alright, i'll try that [17:41] I think I solved my own problem by installing a backward compatible alsa package [17:41] suggestions? manual or guided side by side? [17:42] i am sorry if we do not have username and pass [17:42] Duergar: this looks promising http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608535 [17:42] side by side in and outssssssssssssssssssssssss [17:42] for real [17:42] ubuntus [17:42] syrius: ?

[17:42] danielsevigny: manual I would and then also make seperate /home :) [17:42] danielsevigny: manual I would do above [17:42] Adam75, I still think there's a possibility that the image you burned from (the ISO) is bad, the burn is bad, or the drive is bad... booting in to the liveCD proves the DVD drive can read *some* of the dvd-r, but not necessarily *all* of it ...

I just don't know how to test taht the cd rly works.. except booting it into live cd [17:43] danielsevigny: yeah ok [17:43] looking at that link now slart. [17:43] Slart, depends on the setup of the BIOS [17:43] Adam75, the fat that the livecd and the alternate both have issues, I'd suspect the drive over anything else [17:43] Slart: help me how to reset the password [17:44] Adam75, md5sum the dvd-r === luukje| is now known as Luukje [17:44] hello r u goin to help me [17:44] Do HDDs on Ubuntu still have to defrag?

[18:28] hello :) [18:28] nathan87: Pipe it to 'head' (or 'tail') [18:28] Hello again everyone.... Could anyone suggest what sort of setup I should use for partioning? I'm looking for a separate /home partition. How big does the swap section need to be? If I install some apps they go onto the /root partition correct? [18:29] grawity: thanks, I was just trying that [18:29] danielsevigny: The common wisdom is that /swap should be 1.5x your system RAM. [18:29] janisoza2r, so you mean you have a server somewhere that has the hard drive locally mounted and you want to access that hard drive over the network using ssh? [18:29] grawity: couldn't get it to work though, maybe I was doing the command wrong, could you give me an example command? [18:29] nathan87: you could probably do something weird with grep or awk as well [18:29] nathan87: command | head [18:30] can i get different packages for apache, php and mysql ? [18:30] Hi I am using Tata Photon+. I want to modify the port number through which the modem connects [18:30] Hoew to do that? [18:30] different versions like Apache 2.2.14 [18:30] hmmm so 18GB then. Thanks. and in the manual install I can tell it Use as: Swap Area and it will format correctly for a swap partition? [18:30] or do i need to compile myself [18:30] danielsevigny, make swap twice as much of ram. installed apps usually go to /usr/bin or /usr/sbin [18:30] coachz: of course.. search in synaptic.. they have their own packages [18:30] grawity: yeah, it's valid, but isn't limiting anything unfortunately :S [18:30] so 24GB then.... [18:30] synaptic only has 2.2.12 on my box [18:31] grawity: maybe because head expects a file as an argument [18:31] nathan87: Every program has not two but three streams - one input (stdin) and two output (stdout for normal output, stderr for (mostly) errors). Both stdout and stderr are redirected separately... eh, just try command >&1 | head [18:31] danielsevigny: no need for RAMx2 if you have more than 2GB.. you need 1xRAM if you want to use hibernate.. that's really the only limit [18:31] 24gb of swap? [18:31] nathan87: Traditionally, when you run a tool such as 'head' or 'grep' and don't specify a file, it reads from stdin (keyboard, another program) - so that isn't a problem. [18:31] mMezquitale: yes, but... the drive is not yet mounted. it want to mount it locally on the server [18:32] 24GB is if I use the 2x ram formula [18:32] seems excessive to me... [18:32] danielsevigny, your swap doesn't need to be 2x [18:33] so 1.5 should work then? [18:33] more than 4gb swap is a waste [18:33] k [18:33] grawity: hm strange, thanks anyway :) [18:33] danielsevigny: It's really up to you, but I'm inclined to agree with the minimum 1xRAM. In my system I have 4xRAM for swap, but I only have 512 MB. [18:33] if you have enough ram so you dont need to swap, then dont have any swap at all. [18:33] 2x formula was when there wasnt enough ram [18:33] danielsevigny: do you have disk space to spare? if yes.. then use something like 5-10GB.. that should give you a nice buffer if something needs the extra memory [18:33] that formula was made up years ago when ram was like 128-512mb on a system [18:33] 5-10GB is overkill [18:33] danielsevigny: or don't use any swap at all.. it isn't compulsary [18:33] nathan87: Did you try command 2>&1 | head ? [18:33] you don't need more than 4gb of swap [18:33] billybigrigger, you do if you use hibernation [18:34] danielsevigny, you need 2x ram if you want suspend and resume options to work properly [18:34] oh.... Well i have 220 GB to work with and 12gb ram. I'm going to be running X-Plane 9 on it and it CAN eat up ram. [18:34] Swap: 3903752 0 3903752 [18:34] grawity: oh, I did now, thanks that works! [18:34] hi! the only way to check about a package section is using apt-cache show ? for example, if I need to identify all the games I can loop through the installed packages and ask for info for each of them with apt-cache? [18:34] 0 used [18:34] blooddiamond: Suspend only requires 1x [18:34] frostburn, true [18:34] i can't copy and paste text from my ubuntu to a remote computer.. i tried in my windows vista i can copy and paste text from my local pc to remote desktop.. [18:34] TaQ, sure script it [18:34] grawity: suspend to ram doesnt require swap at all. [18:35] grawity, for hibernation? [18:35] so to use suspend I should have at least 12gb swap. that much swap should also make a flight sim run faster as well correct? [18:35] grawity: suspend to disk (ie hibernate) requires enough swap to hold all of ram + whatever swap's in use. 2x is a good rule for that [18:35] frostburn: yeah, I'll do it. :-) just was in doubt on how to look for the section info :-) thanks [18:35] grawity: because you shouldnt be swapping out more than what youve got in ram [18:35] danielsevigny: swap is slow. swap will not make your apps run faster. [18:36] janisoza2r, youre confusing me here, right now youre saying that it want to mount it locally on the server. That is what I am telling you. If you want to access a resource anywhere on a server, the server itself must have the resources mounted, that say you just ssh into the server and you can look at the data, you can also transfer files using scp which is cumbersome, you can mount a folder that's in the ssh server using sshfs on your local machin [18:36] e and it acts like a folder on the local machine using nautilus [18:36] danielsevigny: if youve got 6gb of ram, i really doubt youll ever swap more than 1gb, so really 7gb should be all youneed [18:36] danielsevigny: to hibernate [18:36] I've got 12 [18:36] danielsevigny: O_O [18:36] what is up with the launcher? some commands work in the shell but not from launcher [18:36] http://wine.pastebin.com/m1e3fadf0 === mike is now known as Guest43588 [18:36] very new system === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [18:36] I'm trying to get a tablet pc to work.

[18:36] danielsevigny: wow. ok well if you want ti *hibernate* you need at least 12gb of swap, yeah [18:36] ubuntu uses debian packages right ? [18:37] coachz yeah [18:37] danielsevigny: regular suspend does not care [18:37] so would this work? http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i386/apache2/download [18:37] k [18:37] hello all, [18:37] coachz: its the same format, but not the same toolchain [18:37] coachz, it would be better for you to install it with synaptic [18:37] coachz: ie, we compile for different library versions than they do [18:37] goku, synaptic only has 2.2.12 [18:37] guys i'm looking for someone who has got a samsung cell phone z series, especially z720.. due to some questions with bluetooth and dun... anyone ? [18:38] coachz: so while you can take their source package and rebuild it locally into a binary package, taking their binary packages is not guaranteed to wokr [18:38] what tools do I need to write c# / c++ code and compile it running ubuntu? [18:38] my server runs apache 2.2.14 so i'm trying to run the same [18:38] this is a linux forum [18:38] lolek [18:38] grizato: ? [18:38] danielsevigny: If your flightsim is using more memory than you have, adding swap won't do a thing for you. [18:38] c3l: gcc for c++, for c# you'll need mono. other than that, any old text editor will work [18:38] so should i just compile apache in ubuntu ? [18:38] grizato: well it's linux question especially ubuntu and blueman bluetooth manager.. ;) === Reactor is now known as Reac_away [18:38] coachz, then download the reauired source and compile it yourself [18:38] maco, okay, so gcc and mono is compilers too? [18:38] goku, can you just take the WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine1" out? does it work then? [18:39] lolek: Ok, i duno [18:39] hmmm so the only use for swap is for hibernation?

[18:39] danielsevigny: No. swap is used like the pagefile is on Windows. [18:39] thanks for the info! [18:39] coachz: dget downloads source packages. [18:40] mMezquitale: disregard the sshfs. i just want the "server" to see it's own drives, which are currently unmounted. i could mount them by issuing "mount /dev/sdaX /mount/mountpoint" over the ssh, but i've found ubuntu way, i.e. clicking the drive name in nautilus, superior to that. how can i achieve this type of mounting on a remote machine? [18:40] mataks: that would depend on what application you use for the remote connection.. some implement clipboard sharing and such.. others dont [18:40] coachz: can we go in PM so i can teach you there how to rebuild source packages? [18:40] danielsevigny: Your swap space is virtual memory; when you have applications asking for more memory than you actually have, the OS pushes memory that isn't in active use onto your disk. [18:40] thanks please [18:40] hi [18:40] taq dpkg --get-selections | awk '{print $1}' [18:40] k so on person says it's not going to help and the next says it will.... === Reac_away is now known as Reactor [18:41] !swap [18:41] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [18:41] danielsevigny: So when your flightsim's running, it'll have great access to your memory, and everything that isn't running that often will have terrible access. Having 1x your RAM will allow one process to use up to 100% of your RAM, *if and only if* everything else can fit inside your RAM. === n000 is now known as switchgirl [18:42] Does anybody know how to run a command on suspend? I'm trying to automatically mute my sound, but I can't get it to work. [18:42] danielsevigny: Adding swap space is like adding memory to your computer, except that it's on your hard disk (and thus 1000x times slower than real memory). [18:42] goku, what about using this in lanucher << gnome-terminal -e WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine1" wine "/home/goku/.wine1/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/FRONTPG.EXE" >>? [18:43] so seeing as I have 12GB I don't see everything else taking up that much ram... I could probably install 3/4s of the apps out there and then run them simultaneously without killing my ram.

I'm currently running the Ubuntu Live CD that I used to install [18:45] HoustonD88 well there are links on the web that can help u to get the indormation [18:45] erUSUL: thank you [18:45] HoustonD88 google it [18:45] mgpcoe for the sake of learning I'm interested but as you said. I'm sure everyone else isn't. [18:45] Xodiac: yw [18:45] chea: I'd hardly call it useless.. Firefox haemorrhages memory; eventually you *need* swap. [18:45] yes chea but when i try to use the disc with the resizer, it says resizing partition but never makes it to 1%, it freezes up and then i have to restart windows and "clean" the volume [18:46] mMezquitale: can i /msg you? [18:46] jamesch, I think it's a bug, have you ever posted a bug before? [18:46] janisoza2r, sure === nix is now known as Guest61147 [18:46] mMezquitale: nope I haven't. Why would the sound just suddenly stop working? [18:46] HoustonD88 one min [18:46] Hi - I need help with something very simple. I have installed a program (stata) and to execute it I need to run a ./xstata command inside its directory - I want to create a "link" inside the /usr/local/bin so that I can just write stata anywhere... [18:47] can anybody help stop me from screwing up yet another fresh installation by giving me some idea as to why i can no longer adjust screen resolution above 800x600 if i use Nvidia drivers which worked just fine until 3/4 days ago? [18:47] mgpcoe: Consider the usage of firefox, it'll never truly stay idle unless you leave it on a static webpage and don't touch it whatsoever. Not likely. [18:47] hello guyz [18:47] sorry about the rambling question [18:47] agl: sudo ln -s /path/to/xstata /usr/local/bin/xstata [18:48] jamesch, a bug in alsa would certainly do that, I'm having the same issue in both my laptop and desktop although I can get the sound working again by closing all my appz and then opening them again [18:48] Did anyone see my plea for help? [18:48] chea: Even so, I've seen it chew its way through a gig of core in a span of minutes. [18:48] thanks trism [18:48] agl, cd /usr/local/bin && sudo ln -s /WHERETHEEXECUTABLEIS/xstata [18:48] Yeah but that's RAM, not virtual memory. Virtual memory isn't used on active applications. [18:48] agl: make simple wrapper script. « cd /path/to/folther && ./xstata » [18:48] can some 1 help me to install themes [18:48] Drunkpunk1, which nvidia driver? [18:49] I'm still here Jazz, and I have forever so take your time :-) [18:49] mMezquitale: ah shit, I just wanted to watch a movie. [18:49] mgpcoe: All active applications running inside the memory space will use RAM, the long time idle applications will use swap as it is VERY slow. [18:49] mostafa: what kind of themes? [18:49] chea: Sure it is. Just not the pages your program's using *right now*. [18:49] BluesKaj: hi, 96 [18:49] mgpcoe: Anything in that address space :P [18:49] BluesKaj: and also the previous version [18:50] mostafa: there is a repository for those, then you can use synaptic; hang on [18:50] jamesch, does rebooting your machine fix the sound? rebooting my machine fixes it fine as well though all I really have to do is just shut down all appz and restart them again [18:50] chea: Your entire process' code isn't present in core, just what you've been using recently. [18:50] mgpcoe: Daemons who are idle, will use swap until they become active. [18:50] you can only use one driver , Drunkpunk1 [18:50] mMezquitale: nope, rebooting did nothing. Not Ubuntu's startup sound works. === zz_kiwifunk is now known as kiwifunk [18:50] ZykoticK9: you cant pass $HOME to the wine app [18:50] Not even* [18:50] Drunkpunk1: I got a xorg.conf that i think can fix that... [18:50] ZykoticK9: you have to use /home/you/whatever [18:50] *newbie* My hard drive has a few large partitions, one of which has Windows XP Home. I've just installed Ubuntu 9.10 to another one.

(I'm currently running the Ubuntu Live CD that I used to [18:51] goku, that makes sense [18:51] BluesKaj: lol :-) yh yh not simultaneously - and the previous on buggered things up beyond my limited skills so had to reinstall [18:51] mgpcoe: Shrug, this is how it works. Idle applications use swap to uphold their existence, the rest who are active will use RAM. Lets not clog up the chat because you know we are both right in this. [18:51] kindone: you are a star [18:51] chea: Good call. [18:51] :) [18:51] HoustonD88 did u use manual partition [18:51] thank you ZykoticK9! It worked [18:51] anyone know an easy way to install a ZTE MF627 modem with the 3 network on Ubuntu ? [18:52] Drunkpunk1, which nvidia card ? [18:52] I don't like the battery charge icons that are new in Ubuntu 9.10 . I want to go back to the 9.4 icons. How can I do that? [18:52] kindone: BluesKaj: can you tell me how to get back to this config if i should screw it up?

[18:53] worst still its an internet problem [18:54] Drunkpunk1: this is my xorg.conf and I have a Nvidie GeForce 4 440MX SE http://paste.ubuntu.com/327039/ [18:54] seanscot (: [18:54] I selected the guided option, hit forward, it says scanning device, then resizing partition and shows a % bar, but never gets to 1% after about 5 mins it says error, something along the lines of could not be written to device and goes back to original page of the install menu [18:54] Drunkpunk1, in the terminal , lspci | grep VGA [18:54] any idea why ubuntu doesn't give me login screen after coming back from lock? its just black and when i press any keys the cursor shows up momentarily [18:54] Hello!

[19:03] [19:03] kostkon, let me try that [19:03] ViaNocturn85, It just requires a older lib [19:03] vuntic: nobody is ignoring you.

[19:11] Halitech I just don't want to be typing sudo so much I wear the letters off my keyboard. [19:11] Andyman, or just debug it [19:11] bradpitt: Then restart the X server and voila, go to the driver thingy [19:11] c3l: If you want to learn Python check out the Python docs [19:11] pfred1, gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf [19:11] what is the name of the applet that shows wireless connections available in the area [19:11] sebsebseb, hm okay [19:11] c3l: I have no idea, my code is compiled by the interpreter at runtime.

[19:13] vuntic, if you have a live cd, then it may have a rescue option and it may have an option to reinstall grub [19:13] HoustonD, partition magic is dangerous , use gparted instead! [19:13] Halitech This system I loaded up in 2003 but ever since it got hit by lightning it hasn't quite been right. [19:13] gparted is available for windows xp? [19:13] pfred1, just a note, if you are using virtual hosts, edit the document root in /etc/apache2/sites-available instead of /etc/apache2/apache.conf [19:13] HoustonD: no [19:13] bradpitt: chromeos is quite strange, its like a never-closing fullscreen browser with some weird menu in the side === kiwifunk is now known as b0w [19:13] HoustonD: ,but you can download the Live CD [19:14] !gparted | HoustonD [19:14] HoustonD: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program.

[19:14] pfred1, lucky it is running at all [19:14] Halitech nah i just use the httpd for my local use it keeps files and documents organized for me. [19:14] pfred! why not just run both os's ? :P [19:14] blooddiamond: No rescure option, just the option to run Ubuntu from the live CD and obtain help from the internet somehow... that's what I'm doing. [19:14] HoustonD, you can make an LiveUSB or LiveCD with it [19:14] shawnzer both OSes? [19:14] ok thanks I'll google how to and check back :-) [19:14] gparted works on all partitions and file systems , its live cd that runs separately from any opersting system [19:14] TheComputerGuy : ok. let's talk about it on #ubuntu-offtopic [19:14] !dualboot [19:14] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [19:14] shawnzer no my old copy of Linux is too messed up.

[19:15] HoustonD,gparted works on all partitions and file systems , its live cd that runs separately from any operating system [19:15] pfred1, yo can easelli set up dual boot [19:15] jazz112: I want to say that it would be something like compiz --help for the command line syntax. [19:15] Younder I've only use for one OS. [19:15] what is she is magic? [19:15] pfred1, then do [19:15] Younder Once i setup my machine it is 24/7 like a refrigerator. [19:15] I'm running the Distribution Upgrade for 9.10, it's been stuck at 5 minutes remaining for quite some time, "configuring flashplugin-installer". Is there something I can do/check? [19:16] pfred1, not quite that good, but close [19:16] kbp: find ./ ! -name "dirname_to_not_remove" -delete [19:16] ier9meruè0rgererger [19:16] repguvergueè9geg [19:16] erpguvqeè0rguevègreqwrg [19:16] erguvneèwrguerguew9èrgeg [19:16] erguerwèguewègu9èewg [19:16] shadenzo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:16] Younder yeah PCs are junk I go through a CPU fan like every 6 months or so. [19:16] thank you erUSUL [19:16] kbp: check first with -print instead of -delete first [19:16] kbp: find can be dangerous [19:16] pfred1, I reboot abount once every 2 weeks on average [19:17] Younder I've gone so long without rebooting tat I was worried when I finally had to do it. You can get out of the habit. [19:17] lateralus: click the "show details" it may be waiting for you to agree to something [19:17] Hi All! [19:17] kbp: also not sure if find's -delete can remove no empty dirs .... [19:17] I have just installed Ubuntu 9.10, turned-on all packages list, and wanted to install postgresql, but it can't this package [19:18] does anybody has ideas? [19:18] Younder though typically I'll suffer some hardware failure about every 100 days or so something will break. [19:18] erUSUL: I just test with print and cannot check because it prints out bunches of files :D [19:18] hi all. odd problem, just come back from a call, a community centre that i do some IT work for called to say mail is down. their mail server is a ubuntu box. since upgrading it last week it seems to not moint the /home lv on startup. problem fixed by mounting manually, but any ideas why it doesnt' do it automatically now? the entry is still there in fstab, but perhaps the UUID changed or something? [19:18] kbp: well it will print what it will delete [19:18] hi [19:19] hi there, can some one please tell me how to getinto su mode,,, su -i ?? [19:19] nore, use sudo [19:19] !rootshell | noren [19:19] erUSUL: I just went ahead and delete [19:19] !sudo | noren [19:19] noren: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [19:19] noren: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [19:19] noren, use sudo [19:19] pfred1, wow in the 2 years I've used my Dell I only replaced the CD ROM unit [19:19] erUSUL: it worked :) thank you [19:19] is aufs-tools-0+20090302-2 still the latest version of aufs-tools in karmic? It has a bug which makes it unusable on my system, the version from sid is fixed http://packages.debian.org/sid/aufs-tools [19:19] kbp: no problem [19:19] Hi, could someone please help me to figurea out how I could backup a remote folder using rsync? [19:19] Younder CD units seem to last about a year for me. [19:20] pfred1, acually DVD RW [19:20] hi [19:20] DrNick_: I don't know why it changed, but try using the label in fstab [19:20] Younder OK all optical disc drives then. They just don't hold up I've even had Plextors [19:20] SpaceGhost: yeah thats what i'm going to do [19:20] ARTSIOMM: it should just be sudo apt-get install postgresql, it is in main, shouldn't need to turn on any extra repos...did you sudo apt-get update first? [19:20] pfred1, is it HOT in the computer room [19:20] what is the name of the applet that shows wireless connections available in the area [19:20] MrKeuner: nm-applet [19:20] Good to see that my friends erUSUL and Younder are still here helping people. It makes me sorta giddy. Don't ask why, I won't tell. [19:20] erUSUL, thanks [19:20] pfred1, that dramaticaly reduces component lifetime [19:21] trism_: yes I ran update [19:21] Younder yes heat dries out electrylytic capacitors leads to a lot of hardware failures. [19:21] DrNick_ sounds like sound thinking [19:21] I am currently downloaded gparted iso. how do i convert it to live usb instead of cd? [19:21] trism_: you right it is available through apt-get, but not visible in Synaptic [19:21] trism_: do you know why? [19:21] HoustonD I know on Linux you can mount an iso image with the loopback device [19:21] when I try to tun nm-applet, I get an error: ** (nm-applet:22096): WARNING **: request_name(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken. Return: 3 [19:22] HoustonD you need to dd the iso to the usb drive [19:22] I need help with wireless on a dell inspiron 1720, I'm booted in to liveCD, but no network available [19:22] It looks like it still runs but I do not see it? [19:22] Okay, so 9.04 was spectacular, 9.10 is horrible. Ubuntu does not come out of suspend or hibernate. [19:22] ARTSIOMM: well, I always had issues searching in synaptic...it would miss packages sometimes...I always search with apt-cache search these days [19:22] HoustonD but that doesn't really help you any [19:22] noren, sudo bash will bring you a root shell [19:22] Hi, think I have an easy problem someone might be able to solve(?) - Usinf 9.10, when I plug my touch pad in, it correctly acts like a touchpad (pointer follows pen when I wave it over pad) .. but as soon as I touch the pad, it switches to mouse type control, moving a bit further each time I drag it along the pad.. anyone have any ideas? [19:22] dd? [19:22] HoustonD, you can try syslinux [19:22] MrKeuner: maybe nm-aplet is already running ? [19:22] heh, it kinna took me a couple of moments to figure out why pop3d was just exiting with a "temporary problem" when trying to list a mailbox. was kinna cos there was nothing under /home :p [19:22] HoustonD: disk Dump. [19:22] ARTISOMM: try sudo apt-cache search postgresql [19:22] hey quick question - is there someplace akin to device manager i can go to to see if the hardware on a booted live-cd was all detected fine out of the box? if so, what's the CLI command for it? [19:22] erUSUL, it does but I cannot see it [19:23] Hello, any idea why I my wallpaper doesn't change according to the duration I set in the background-1.xml file in /usr/share/backgrounds/cosmo/ ?? [19:23] ARTSIOMM: don't need to sudo with apt-cache [19:23] rvn, lshw [19:23] MrKeuner: you lost your notification area? right click on the panel and choose add to panel. clieck on notifiction area [19:23] Ola pessoal [19:23] HoustonD mount file.iso /cdrom -t iso9660 -o loop [19:23] lianumator: We'd need to see the xml file. Try putting it on pastebin [19:23] rvn: maybe --> sudo lshw [19:23] estou com um problema na instalação de uma impressora matricial [19:23] !pastebin > lianimator [19:23] erUSUL, No notification area is still there [19:23] lianimator, please see my private message [19:23] I need partition manager to resize my windows part. and add ubuntu, i need to boot the manager from usb to resize my partition, pfred1 when do i type that command in terminal? [19:24] Okay, so 9.04 was spectacular, 9.10 is horrible. Ubuntu does not come out of suspend or hibernate. [19:24] !br | ticola104 [19:24] !es | ticola104 [19:24] ticola104: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [19:24] ticola104: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [19:24] Halitech or erUSUL : is there anything that's more concise, just to tell me if everything was detected? i know that that technically does, but it's a lot of text to go thru [19:24] pfred1, It also increase oxidation of CMOS circuitry [19:24] rvn, you could install hardinfo and check it [19:24] Younder heh no semis are hermetic [19:24] i caraca não sei falar nem o portugues direito [19:24] ill check that out] [19:24] SpaceGhost: thanks, but that was one line. [19:25] thnx every one [19:25] PlasmaSheep: ok so put 9.04 back on or try another distro? [19:25] pfred1, NOP, they still leak a bit [19:25] HoustonD: mounting the image won't let you install it to a flash drive. What you need is to write the image to the usb drive with disk dump. Try this: dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/usbdevicename [19:25] i got problem to mount ohci_hcd USB secured drive [19:25] sebsebseb: While I could do that, that's not a solution. [19:25] HoustonD, you cant use a live CD with gparted? [19:25] anybody can help? [19:25] PlasmaSheep: No? [19:25] sebsebseb: I came for a solution, not an obvious workaround. [19:25] package hardinfo isn't in the repo (did an apt-get update too, jic), is it someplace online as a deb or source or somethin, Halitech ? [19:25] Younder I used to assemble PCBs we'd wash the built boards in a dishwasher! [19:25] erUSUL, my ethernet connection is lost every once in a while too, do you think they could be related? [19:25] i don't have any black cds with me mMezquitale [19:26] sebsebseb: It's like when someone has problems with windows, you send them to linux. [19:26] MrKeuner: dunno really [19:26] lianimator: You have to have a xml file if you use it as a wallpaper. What does the xml look like? [19:26] i got problem to mount ohci_hcd USB secured drive [19:26] HoustonD: You don't need CD's, you can write the image to a usbdrive [19:26] HoustonD, try SpaceGhost 's suggestion mounting the image won't let you install it to a flash drive. What you need is to write the image to the usb drive with disk dump. Try this: dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/usbdevicename [19:26] could someone please help me mount a remote folder to my file system [19:26] martiner: I think with 9.10 there is an issue with that kind of stuff [19:26] rvn, not sure, thought it was standard but maybe not, you could check getdeb.net and see if its there [19:26] pfred1, True, but over time enough get's through to disrupt logic pathways (about 5 years at 60 deg. c) [19:27] did something change with the laptop battery taskbar thing recently? i used to be able to click on it and suspend my laptop, now it just tells me the battery remaining [19:27] tem auguem q fala minha lin/ [19:27] i found a site with it there, but it's a ".package", and dpkg doesn't like it [19:27] Nalleman, are you using ssh? [19:27] martiner: PlasmaSheep I guess really you both should check out the 9.10 release notes you may find something useful or just interesting. [19:27] !notes | martiner PlasmaSheep [19:27] pfred1, H2O never will however [19:27] martiner PlasmaSheep: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [19:27] Younder I'm sure some semi packages leak. [19:27] my freenx is screwed up [19:27] mMezquitale, no. right now i just open the folder from my networkplaces [19:27] sebsebseb: Will look at them, thanks. [19:27] am i gonna have to code a device manager clone myself? :p [19:27] no matter what i do , i couldnt get authenticated [19:28] mMezquitale, places/network [19:28] rvn: what are you looking for? [19:28] yeah skip it the tards in #debian decided it for me Ubuntu all the way! [19:28] rvn, hardinfo is in the official repositories [19:28] hey guys. Can someone help me? [19:28] trash56: just ask your question [19:28] !ask | trash56 [19:28] trash56: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:28] SpaceGhost: i want a simple list of what hardware was detected, so i can see if a machine i boot the live cd on has anything that i'd need to address after installing or if its all good OOB [19:28] need help installing madwifi for atheros === chaky_ is now known as chaky [19:28] Nalleman, I know how to do that using ssh maybe someone else might know how to do what youre tryin gto attempt, keep asking in the channel [19:29] have someone who speaks pt [19:29] pfred1, not all people who use Debian are tards [19:29] !pt | ticola104 [19:29] ticola104: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [19:29] normal pen drive works well .. this is symantec secured pen drive used as license for one probram ..i want to make copy [19:29] Halitech the ones I met in #debian sure seems to be :) [19:29] rvn:I think you need to use lspci [19:29] mMezquitale, What is the advantage with ssh? [19:29] hej how can i do a full, secure wipe of my HD when reinstalling 9.10 [19:29] SpaceGhost: doesn't tell me whether it has a driver and all, plus it's got a lot of info i don't need to go thru [19:29] Helsinkiii: boot from a live cd.. use "wipe" [19:30] SpaceGhost: I'm just editing the Cosmo wallpaper that came with Karmic. [19:30] Halitech I like Ubuntu beter than I ever liked Debian anyways. [19:30] sebsebseb: What was I supposed to see? [19:30] Helsinkiii: it takes quite some time for a large drive though.. I don't really see the need for it for a normal home desktop machine [19:30] Slart:does it 100% delete and erase EVEYTHING [19:30] pfred1, I've gone there twice and was ignored so yeah, the ones that seem to hang out in #debian are but I use debian and prefer it to Ubuntu [19:30] okay. Can someone please tell me how I can set the microphone to be forwarded to the output? My System is Ubuntu 9.10 on a HP Compaq 615. I can record, but not "play" my microphone. [19:30] Helsinkiii: yes.. it overwrites everything several times using different bit patterns, sideways, backwards, with and without voodoo and so on [19:30] yeah hardinfo is named "hardinfo", according to google, and is in the repo, but i did apt-get update, and then apt-get install hardinfo, and it says it cant find it [19:30] rvn: Let me try to understand, you need something that 1.gets a list of hardware and 2.shows what needs drivers? [19:31] yeah [19:31] Slate: it's 80 GB [19:31] PlasmaSheep: I didn't say there was anything, you can read the message I put again if you scroll up. By the way really you need someone else to help you. [19:31] rvn: Let me search around for you. [19:31] Halitech I find configuring Ubuntu easier less effort though I suppose if i wanted to invest the time Debian could be a little better. [19:31] rvn, you need to run it with sudo [19:31] Helsinkiii: it will probably take a couple of hours then [19:31] rvn: check http://packages.ubuntu.com for the deb [19:31] Halitech: lol i did, :P [19:31] Scunizi: good idea, didnt think of that route [19:31] !info hardinfo | rvn [19:31] rvn: hardinfo (source: hardinfo): Displays system information. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5c-1ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 242 kB, installed size 688 kB [19:31] Halitech Not that i haven't invested months on Debian in the past mind you. [19:32] how to download all png files in a website using wget? [19:32] yeah as i said i tried it but it didnt install, im gonna try getting a deb [19:32] Ubuntu does not come out of suspend or hibernate. Help help. [19:32] Halitech Ubuntu I drop the CD in and its pretty much done. [19:32] rvn, make sure you have the universe repositories enabled [19:32] pfred1, not all debian packages work on ubuntu [19:32] PlasmaSheep: Have you done SWAP space? [19:32] pfred1, I changed over after 8.04 when 8.10 came out and was a slug on my machine, went Debian with XFCE and was very impressed with the speed increase [19:32] PlasmaSheep: and double the size of your RAM? [19:32] sebsebseb: let me check... [19:32] normal pen drive works well .. this is symantec secured pen drive used as license for one program ..i want to make copy .. type of usb ohci_hcd .. [19:32] blooddiamond, man wget, I believe the manpage provides an example [19:32] rvn, you didn't mention using sudo so thought I'd make sure [19:32] blooddiamond: taking a guess here but.. wget -R *.png .. ? [19:33] blooddiamond: wget http:examplesite.com -r 10 -A "*.png" [19:33] spaceghost> "dd" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file [19:33] I guess there is no possibility to hear myself when I am speaking into the microphone, right? [19:33] Hey... I'm trying to download the hardy-server-amd64.iso torrent from http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/, but bittornado tell me the file is corrupt and the md5sum is different than the page mentions. What's wrong here? [19:33] Halitech Yes i could see Ubuntu trying to be everything for everyone might not be as tailored. [19:33] PlasmaSheep: they say you need double the size of your RAM for SWAP so hibernation will work, and it seems that's maybe suspend as well [19:33] Trash56 why would you want to? [19:33] pfred1, yeah, I do complete custom installs and only put on what I need [19:33] pfred1, layout is a bit different and the number of assumed packages is larger [19:33] trash56: I can do it on my system.. but I guess it depends on the sound hardware [19:33] HoustonD: you should have dd. Are you using ubuntu? [19:34] from personal experience it subconscoiously makes you stutter [19:34] danielsevigny: to keep yourself from screaming when using skype with covered head phones? =) [19:34] no, i have xp, trying to resize xp partition so i can add ubuntu to hd [19:34] PlasmaSheep: If you got that well ok, and I can't try and help you any fruther, other than telling you to make sure the swap is on. [19:34] Halitech hopefully system I am installing it to is up to the task. [19:34] SpaceGhost, Thanks [19:34] Hi all! [19:34] blooddiamond: Anytime friend. [19:34] pfred1, whats the specs? [19:34] ubuntu hi [19:35] could be I guess. But you should be able to hear your own voice regardless.... Your bones pass the noise through your skull to your eardrums... [19:35] ok it worked thru the deb file, it's in the universe repo, as someone pointed out, so that's why it didnt run from apt-get by default. on the live-cd enabling universe is a bit overkill for one deb, so i just grabbed the deb and it does indeed do what i need - thanks guys. [19:35] Halitech 2GHz P4 only 512 MB of RAM though [19:35] HoustonD: sometimes it's better to do that inside of xp.. run cleanup, defrag first then use the win tools to resize the partition if it will do it while mounted.. [19:35] I'm trying to follow the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen but the configure script fails saying "No package 'xorg-server' found" [19:35] @danielsevigny&Slart: I want to hear some recorded music and record another track (for example). My soundcard is an hda intel === nox-Hand__ is now known as nox-Hand [19:35] I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 [19:35] HoustonD: what are you using to set up the hard drive for ubuntu? Tools, or bootcd of something? [19:35] Halitech it runs 6.01 just fine [19:36] ah.... that makes sense now... [19:36] sebsebseb: Yes, my linux-swap partition is 2x my memory. Thanks for trying. [19:36] trash56: I thought it was xserver-xorg [19:36] trash56, which is no car at all but circuit baord buildt in [19:36] Anyone know if I can get around that somehow? [19:36] I have the ubuntu live cd, i tried using it and it gives me an error when resizing xp partition [19:36] PlasmaSheep pfft that spec is so 1990s [19:36] trash56, ubuntu supports that [19:36] pfred1: Do you possibly have a solution for me? [19:36] danielsevigny: I usually end up speaking louder than I think.. especially when I'm also listening to other stuff in the headphones.. sound from games and so on.. I find it useful to have a little feedback from the mic.. [19:36] funkyhat: What is your issue? [19:36] SpaceGhost: I'm trying to follow the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen but the configure script fails saying "No package 'xorg-server' found" [19:36] PlasmaSheep what is your problem all I saw was swap 2X RAM [19:37] pfred1: Suspend and hibernate don't work. [19:37] pfred1: I can't come out of them. [19:37] PlasmaSheep laptop? [19:37] I know HDA Intel means a lot of soundcards.. [19:37] funkyHat do you work straight from the command line then? [19:37] pfred1: yes [19:37] pfred1, should be fine, might want to bump up the ram if you can though [19:37] trash56, if you have multiple users you need to explicity enable pulse audio [19:37] as in no Desktop Environment? [19:38] funkyHat: At which step is this error taking place? [19:38] Younder: I dont have [19:38] SpaceGhost: while configure is doing its checks [19:38] some of Karmic Kola's users say that they are getting sound while playing 3gp files. is it true? [19:38] PlasmaSheep I don't keep up with it too much I believe what you want to deal with is called ACPI [19:38] mMezquitale, how is it done with ssh? [19:38] trash56, well I did [19:38] PlasmaSheep maybe APCI? I can't recall [19:39] blooddiamond: if you have a 3gp file I can give it a try [19:39] SpaceGhost: sudo ./configure --with-xorg-module-dir=/usr/lib/xorg/modules && make [19:39] pfred1: I think it's ACPI, but I have no idea what that is [19:39] anyone else using ati 3430 on karmic? [19:39] blooddiamond, i get sound with everything on 9.10 [19:39] Younder: So how do I change the settings? [19:39] PlasmaSheep its the junk that gets called in your BIOS to do all that suspend stuff [19:39] thiebaude: I will lose sound from the host, if I do a virtual machine with 9.10 [19:39] Slart, well i don't have one [19:39] PlasmaSheep and like i said I don't keep u with it but last i heard it is a bit of a problem [19:39] sebsebseb, ahh ok i see [19:39] funkyHat: I'll be one second, I'm researching this a bit before I push you blindly in any direction [19:40] blooddiamond, looks like there is a free codec for amr [19:40] i have these messages saying buffer error on sr0, how can i find out which physical device these correspond to? [19:40] is sr0 the dvd drive? [19:40] thiebaude: I will also be dumping this version soon, for Mandriva 2010 Gnome, at least untill 10.04 comes out [19:40] PlasmaSheep I'm sure by now you can find a solution [19:40] When I run "view" on hardy-server-amd64.iso.torrent I see jibberish, but when I run "hd" on it, I see normal bittorrent metadata. What's going on? [19:40] trash56, go through menu system >administation > users and groups [19:40] Are my locales messed up? [19:40] thiebaude: Mandriva One [19:40] tck9: yes, sr0 is the cd/dvd drive... === ubuntu is now known as shmok [19:40] sebsebseb, offtopic but i tried fedora12 last nite [19:40] yeah [19:40] thiebaude: I vm'd tha briefly it's ok [19:40] thiebaude: ot, but how was it? [19:41] pfred1: Well, I can try. [19:41] no propietary support for nvidia [19:41] nejucomo: it's a torrent file.. open with transmission or your btorrent client of choice for download. [19:41] thiebaude: didn't come with much on the Live CD ISO though [19:41] Well, I have sound, but only not from my microphone === MoPsleep is now known as MasterofPuppets [19:41] losha, otherwise real good [19:41] funkyHat: Did you get the newest package to compile, or the one the silly guide uses?

[19:43] trash56, is it pluged into the front mic input [19:43] funkyHat: I'll look for some newer drivers to build. [19:43] how can I check if I have the correct drivers enabled for my grapics card? [19:43] ubottu : i am trying to install it on ubuntu [19:43] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:43] so i dont think it's offtopic [19:43] losha, sure [19:44] if i use the Compiz settings manager, does that run as a process all the time/ [19:44] I got it from http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ [19:44] I think I may have a problem with my locale. [19:44] skinnymg1: It doesn't matter which microphone I choose. The built-in or the external mic - both doesn't work at the output, only recording works [19:44] Xserver, what is your problem? [19:44] yeah I'm good! 8790491bfa9d00f283ed9dd2d77b3906 [19:44] nejucomo: try http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt [19:45] trash56, are the mics unmuted in alsmixer? [19:45] If I cat or view the torrent, it appears as jibberish, but when I use "hd" or read the file in python, it looks correct. [19:45] So if sha1sum is reading jibberish that would explain why it shows a different fingerprint than http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ [19:45] Otherwise, there may be a problem with http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ [19:45] Would someone else mind downloading the hardy-server-amd64.iso torrent file from that page and telling me what sha1sum they see? [19:45] alsamixer* [19:45] Well, "cat /proc/asound/cards" gives "HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB" [19:45] trash56, If I have your motherboard right it is again build in and ubuntu supports it === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [19:45] There are no mixers for a microphone [19:46] nejucomo I just md5summed my iso I'm OK [19:46] funkyHat: Does this match what you need at all? http://home.eeti.com.tw/web20/eGalaxTouchDriver/linuxDriver.htm [19:46] trash56, the workings are however somewhat different from windows [19:46] Younder: How do you know my motherboard? :D [19:46] how can I check if I have the correct drivers enabled for my grapics card? [19:46] trash56: what do you need? [19:46] trash56, open a terminal type in alsamixer and see if there are mm's under the mic settings [19:46] Missing minimize icon on all apps in Gnome. Also all apps open maximized. ANYONE know why? [19:47] trash56: What are you trying to do? I think I can help. [19:47] how can I make a quick local port forward in my ubuntu box? [19:47] trash56, your mention of Intel sound earlier [19:47] mark_: can you move the windows around? [19:47] no [19:47] where russion people speaking? [19:47] they are all maximized [19:47] mark_: you might not have a window manager started [19:47] !ru | BigDen [19:47] BigDen: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [19:47] I think I do? [19:47] !ru | BigDen [19:47] Ok, I'll try the downloadmirrors#bt link... [19:47] how do I check?\ [19:47] mark_, only minimize icon or also close? Is the top window bar missing? [19:47] or what to try [19:47] SpaceGhost you can run X without one [19:47] SpaceGhost: I am trying to get the microphone to be "outputted" [19:47] yes it [19:48] yes it is [19:48] #ubuntu-ru [19:48] pfredi: what are you talking about? [19:48] close and min missing [19:48] SpaceGhost you can run X with no window manager at all [19:48] all the standard right hand top icons [19:48] in all apps [19:48] pfred1: his questions pertains to window managers though. [19:48] terminal, firefox etc... [19:48] mark_, I think metacity crashed, do alt+F2 and typ "metacity --replace" [19:48] SpaceGhost: I have a feeling it doesn't, the tablet I have is a Trust tablet. I'll have a look though [19:48] In alsamixer there is no slider for microphone; I can only switch between Mic In and Line In [19:49] SpaceGhost it helps to put at least on Xterm in your ~/.xinitrc [19:49] done. screen flash and still no icons [19:49] Hello, today I installed UNR on karmic, *and* upgraded the system. Now I can't hear audio from flash videos, if I check in the pulseaudio settings I see no application playing [19:49] I started with Xubuntu BTW [19:49] pfred1: don't tell me this, I've got my things well under control. [19:49] must be missing some package [19:49] KDE is fine, just gnome [19:49] mark_ log out and when you can choose your session type select xterm [19:49] SpaceGhost the thing is X will start up without any window manager [19:50] Does anyone know why a kickstart installation works fine with the mirror http://us.archive.ubuntu.com but not with http://archive.ubuntu.com? [19:50] is there a gnome/linux application that will let me easily upload photographs to a site like imgur/imageshack ? like right click the file and upload or something in gimp [19:50] hello there, could anyone tell me please how to install ubuntu 9.10 and Windows Vista side by side? Help would be appreciated!

[19:50] pfred1: I think you really need to read what he needs. I don't need your help with it. If you have any input, give it to the user asking questions. [19:51] exxxo45, Its easy, when you do the default install it will aks you to install them side by side by default, just accept [19:51] SpaceGhost: My Alsa version is 1.0.20 [19:51] exxxo45, most of it is automated [19:51] pfred1: while I appreciate the info, it's best given to the user requesting it. [19:51] exxxo45: Setting up a seperate /home is good in the long run, when you have a reason to re install Ubuntu, or if you want to distro hop [19:51] trash56: No sound and no option to turn it on or off? [19:52] exxxo45: What is your question exactly? [19:52] SpaceGhost, can I ssh in while X is running for that or get out of X first? [19:52] exxxo45: by default it puts everything in / which is the Ubuntu partition [19:52] SpaceGhost: Right! I can just choose the record level, but not the playout level [19:52] could someone please help me mount my "my document" folder from windows to ubuntu? its on a different computer and im can find it under places/network [19:53] mark_: try this: compiz --replace -- :0 [19:53] exxxo45: I meant it's easier to set up a seperate /home on a new install. That's where your data will go, and program user data. [19:53] trijntje: I installed ubuntu 9.10 by the default on a laptop with Windows Vista already on there, but while booting Windows, blue screen would come up and system restart [19:53] Did today's upgrade destroy audio in flash? I don't understand if it may be UNR [19:53] can someone check if flash audio is working? [19:53] SpaceGhost, sometimes I wish I have their remote desktop so I could see things as they do [19:53] i've just vnc'd onto another ubuntu box in 9.10 in full screen mode and i can't get out [19:53] any suggestions? [19:53] exxxo45: blue screen? [19:53] exxxo45: Your getting Blue Screen Of Death in Windows? [19:53] exxxo45, so you already installed ubuntu and now you cannot get back into vista? [19:53] trash56: so you can currently record sound but not play back? [19:53] keymoo if you move the pointer up the screen? [19:54] keymoo: try hitting F11 to get out of full scren [19:54] *screen [19:54] Younder: I wish logmein.com properly supported linux. [19:54] hello [19:54] Younder: We'd be Gods of tech support.

[19:54] see the servers auth.log? or whaetver its named [19:54] does anyone remember what the application that gets the Nvidia drivers is called? === imlad|away is now known as imlad [19:54] Xserver: We need more info. What happened what did you want to happen? [19:55] Oli``: are you there? [19:55] sebsebseb, im going to try what you said earlier about 2010 gnome [19:55] SpaceGhost : everything was working fine.. i had freenx [19:55] trash56: So input from microphone works, but you cannot get output?

[19:55] DocMAX: did you install the 64 bit version or 32? win7 by default (I think) is 64 bit [19:55] thiebaude: I was going to suggest that you try it in a virtual machine, but if you want to do pysical install ok do that. Also the KDE one is meant to be the best KDE 4 experience. [19:55] freenx , nomachine nx everything [19:56] but no way out [19:56] ich have ubuntu 64 and windows 64 [19:56] sebsebseb, cool [19:56] I am running dual screen.. now there's twinview and seperate X views... but none of them will allow me to share my 4 workspaces.. I want to be able to show any of my 4 workspaces on any of my 2 screens (through hotkeys).. is this even possible? [19:56] Xserver: What error did it give?

[19:57] SpaceGhost : NoMachine NX Client on Windows says authentication failed for user [19:57] clearscreen: I do't think you've got the workspace idea right. I might be wrong though. Generally you'd set up workspaces per monitor or multiple big workspace across two monitors [19:57] exxxo45: Blue Screen of Death in Windows, is not good, not good at all! [19:57] SpaceGhost: I dont want that [19:57] also there is one straight interface design in windows .. ubuntu has a lot of ugly mixes [19:57] DocMAX, how much RAM do you have? I have just 2 and ubuntu runs fine [19:58] whats the best method to rip individual chapters from a dvd/iso to individual avi (divx) files? i try doing this with k9 but it instead creates one big avi file [19:58] sebsebseb, haven't seen that one in ages.. [19:58] can ghost be used to make an image of my linux partitions? what you you use? [19:58] I got the black bash screen in ubuntu, thats why I'm here. I did my updates and bam my system crashed. [19:58] WOW!!! Finally completed the installation... once past the bios boot is flippin fast [19:58] sebsebseb, the equivalent of kernel panic [19:58] clearscreen: probably.. I've seen youtube videos with someone running 6 screens, unified, seperate etc.. so I know it can be done.. it's just a matter of how much pain you're willing to put up with to figure it out. [19:58] SpaceGhost: I want to easily switch between workspaces on either screen to have a perfect combination of screens next to eachother (firefox + vim window, firefox + pidgin, pidgin + vim window, etc) [19:58] ZaNeIuM: you can use dd to create a image of a linux partition. [19:58] Younder: I have quite recently on the other computer, in fact Windows is rather messed up on there now, only Ubuntu 9.04 works properly :) [19:58] Younder: well or failing hardware or bad drivers [19:58] I've been running windows XP for a long time, and haven't had a BSOD in the last few years. I dont understand how people break their computers. Meh. [19:58] dolby digital? [19:58] :P what is dd [19:59] ZaNeIuM, clonezilla mate.. [19:59] clearscreen so workspaces independent of their monitor? I'm not sure. [19:59] sebsebseb: yes, I Windows would start. I tried to find a solution online, but I couldn't find a good solution [19:59] * Scunizi examines LiVeS video editor with some anticipation [19:59] Younder: maybe a virus even causing Blue Screen Of Death in Windows [19:59] sebsebseb, I could adbive you on some good tools. But it seems rather off topic [19:59] SpaceGhost: pretty much, yeah :P [19:59] Is there a way to undo updates from the emergency ubuntu bash line? [19:59] hmm.. the latest kernel just wouldn't boot up on my amd64 system.. just gave me a flickering terminal login prompt.. no errors in kern.log or syslog from what I can see.. odd [19:59] Younder: well it seems exxxo45 is getting one in Windows [19:59] The best remedy for a BSOD in Windows is to install a fun little thing called "ubuntu". [19:59] Younder: and they have also put on Ubuntu recently, as for tools ok sure in pm [19:59] trijntje, i have 4 GB... ubuntu runs fine too... but not as smooth as windows [20:00] ZaNeIuM: it works like this dd if=/dev/sda3 of=~/backup.bkp === aiOn is now known as RonDutt [20:00] Scunizi: I want it to be unified in the sense of sharing workspaces regardless of the monitor, but seperate in the way that they're not just one big screen basically [20:00] my partitions are quite odd, linux it new to be, but there is 1 extended and instide is the swap and filesystem ext4 [20:00] trijntje: yes, I couldn't find a good solution online, only a suggestion to install vista and ubuntu into separate partitions, however I don't know if that works [20:00] DocMAX, thats strange, might be your video driver? That could give a slow feeling on a fast system [20:00] xserver: I don't know how to set that up. I'm sorry. [20:00] hello, my server is losing ethernet connection every once in a while.

I was running ubuntu 9.10 but now it is beta 4. [20:00] exxxo45: From my own personal experience when it has come to Blue Screen Of Death in Windows with two computers where it has happended. Windows will complain at the slight hardware error or anything like that, Ubuntu and other Linux distros for that matter will just ignore it and carry on as normal. They won't just tell you that there is some sort of problem. [20:01] SpaceGhost is it an image? [20:01] ZaNeIuM, if you want to image a partition thats not root and not home, then dd will do, if its your root/home then use clonezilla [20:01] can anyone help on linphone (softphone) [20:01] trijntje, i'm missing the right click menu in ubuntu... [20:01] princezuda, and you have no backup? [20:01] It creates a file from whatever partition you point it to [20:01] exxxo45: however if it is really failing hardware, eventaully it will fail on you, and Ubuntu won't boot up anymore either [20:01] i want the entire filesystem [20:01] Riotta: did you mean me? [20:01] ZaNeIuM: It creates a file from whatever partition you point it to. [20:01] princezuda, you'll probably need to reinstall if you have upgraded to a version after karmic [20:01] http://pastebin.com/m77dc7ce1 Complete Log [20:01] so i can put it on another drive [20:01] yes can I pm you Oli`` ? [20:01] I don't know how to fix the problem because I don't see the reason [20:01] I'm new to ubuntu. I'm on my other operating system Windows. I could access the system from windows. [20:02] ZaNeIuM: What is the name of the partition you want to backup? [20:02] Riotta: sure [20:02] what could cause grub2 to fail to boot? I haven't changed anything but installing updates, but it hangs displaying "GRUB" [20:02] Hi, where can I find nice desktops and their configuration? Any suggestion of a page? [20:02] DocMAX, thats weird, your right click doesnt work? [20:02] sda6? [20:02] how can i backup dvd chapters to individual avi files? === System is now known as sunny007 [20:02] ZaNeIuM: fdisk -l [20:02] sebsebseb: I don't think it would be a hardware problem, Vista's were working fine untill I installed Ubuntu from the live CD [20:02] princezuda, no you cant not without a special driver. [20:03] elsn: depends on your flavour. I like making my own chic and organised desktops. I can offer some programs. [20:03] /dev/sda6 [20:03] trijntje, no, it works... but in windows you can right click on a file and do lot of things... i mean this interface is missing in ubuntu, even with gnome [20:03] is tar's --preserve-permissions option only relevant when extracting an archive? [20:03] exxxo45: So really you should try and get your Blue Screen Of Death fixed, depending on what the error is, that error might casue problems for Ubuntu later on as well. [20:03] bigmack83_: Use the Handbrake program. http://www.handbrake.fr/ [20:03] where can I get this special driver? [20:03] I have a problem. After I screwed up some thing, my sound is not working for non-root user. Any ideas on how to fix it? [20:03] elsn: gnome-look.org for themes; there are screenshot threads on ubuntu-forums [20:03] SpaceGhost: Please do. [20:03] dajhorn, thanks, checking it out [20:03] bigmack83_: Welcome. [20:03] you can edit the right clock context menu in registry and add extra things... cant do this in ubuntu [20:03] VCoolio: Thanks. [20:04] things like that [20:04] can I do something about Evolution having unreadable message titles because they are white text on white background after selecting them? Slickness theme is causing this I don't want to change just to work with Evolution [20:04] k here's a weird one.... Trying to install X-Plane 9 Demo. I donwload the zip and extract it. I then go the extracted directory and right click the installer. I click on execute and it tells me the file I just right clicked doesn't exist.../ [20:04] princezuda, I have one called EXT2 IFS for Windows 1.11a [20:04] how do i port mt email (thunderbird) to evolution? [20:04] exxxo45: Well you can get the error message and ask people in ##windows about it for example [20:04] elsn: here is a link I dug up. Do you like that? some applications I use are cairo-dock for a dock and screenlets, and conky and gestikk for mouse gestures in compiz [20:04] I have a problem. After I screwed up some thing, my sound is not working for non-root user. Any ideas on how to fix it? [20:04] has anyone been able to get zfs-fuse packages to install in ubuntu 9.10? [20:04] exxxo45: Ubuntu does not cause Windows to Blue Screen Of Death! [20:04] DocMAX, what do you mean with "edit the right clock context menu"? [20:04] anyone who wants to get a hold of me can PM me to allow me to help you faster. [20:05] trijntje, in windows when you right lick a file, you get a context menu [20:05] SpaceGhost: What link? I will have a look on cairo-dock and gestikk [20:05] any idea what could cause a file that clearly exists to return the error that it doesn't exist? [20:05] princezuda, unless of cource the linux system is installed with NTFS or FAT32 FS [20:05] DocMAX, I get that in ubuntu too [20:05] elsn:http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-Change-Gnome-Theme-161769693 [20:05] * cwillu_at_work points out that a "software store" application that doesn't turn up "qcad" in a search for "cad" has failed horridly [20:05] it was installed with ntfs. [20:05] sunny007, add the users to the audio group? [20:05] has anyone here setup ubuntu to boot from a USB Stick? [20:06] trijntje, but you dont have the possibilities like windows [20:06] can I do something about Evolution having unreadable message titles because they are white text on white background after selecting them? Slickness theme is causing this I don't want to change just to work with Evolution [20:06] is there a way to customize the look to fix this? [20:06] for example edititing the menu [20:06] does anyone know where can I find the location of the current used wallpaper in ubuntu 904? === MasterofPuppets is now known as MoPaway [20:06] keppi: Yes I can. Do you need help with it? [20:06] cwillu_at_work, known bug, the search engine of synaptic is broken [20:06] keppi, yes, but i havent been able to get the usb to boot on other computers, just the one i installed on [20:06] SpaceGhost: thanks. [20:06] trijntje, I didn't say synaptic (which works fine) [20:06] SpaceGhost: yes, I get it to boot, but it says that it can't find the kernel [20:06] Will look into it :) [20:07] DocMAX, what option do you miss in ubuntu that you have in windows? [20:07] princezuda, Ok windows can read your linux partion [20:07] I'm trying to compile nethack from source and I've come across an error I can't solve [20:07] d4non: requires messing with the gtkrc of the theme or put the right stuff in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 ; let me check if I can come up with something [20:07] cwillu_at_work, ah right, never mind than [20:07] I get stuck at the boot: prompt [20:07] "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltermlib" [20:07] younder: it was installed with ntfs. I can see the file called root.disk and it is 16 gigs but I can't access it through windows without a program and I don't know what program to use. Is there a way to rewind my system updates or a list of updated modules so I can remove a module? [20:07] elsn: PM me and I can send you more stuff. [20:07] trijntje, for example when installing 7zip or winrar, i have options to "extract to \xxx\xx" "exctract here..." and so on [20:07] can some help me to get the deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/brcha/ubuntu karmic main repository to work please? [20:08] keppi: how did you create the usbuntu? [20:08] trijntje, how do I do it? [20:08] SpaceGhost: using "USB Startup Disk Creator" [20:08] DocMAX, if you click on a zip-archive you will have that option in ubuntu as well [20:08] craig__: Did you add it to your sources.list? [20:08] spaceghost: it should be under system->administration->USB Startup Disk Creator [20:08] hi. how do I repair grub2 (I am using a livecd)? I have one LVM physical volume with 3 logical volumes /xubuntu64, /kubunutu32 /boot. xubu and kubu are luks + ext4, boot is ext3, not encrypted. after having installed xubu, grub says: error: you need to load the kernel first [20:08] hi [20:08] sunny007, look in system -> administration -> users and groups [20:09] trijntje, no, just extract with archivemanager [20:09] iLag: thanks. I don't use the utility. I used dd to make it. [20:09] after upgrade to Ubuntu 9 I am experiencing weird screen artifacts and then a total crash, I own a "nvidia geforce 9650M GT" video card. has somebody experienced this or similar issues? [20:09] Younder: I'll be back in a second. I'm going to reboot to see exactly what it says. [20:09] so i created a bootable usb with gparted on it, booted the usb, ran the partition resizer, and got the same error that the ubuntu live cd gave me, operation failed to write to device, or something [20:09] what is dd?

[20:10] back [20:10] SpaceGhost, yea it's in the sources list, appears in the package manager when i view the repositories. the problem is that the package zfs-fuse isnt found when i try and install it, and it should be available from this repository [20:10] I saw my name right as I logged out [20:10] danielsevigny: What's that? [20:10] Meanwhile I"m executing the script by double clicking it so it's obviously there [20:10] nobody? [20:10] sebsebseb: how do I get the content of the blue screen? is it in a log of somekind? It appears for less than a second [20:10] trijntje, i can give you plenty examples with rightcontext menu [20:11] danielsevigny: try giving the full path to the script.. also lower case letter and upper case letters are important [20:11] so I missed that post.

[20:12] ls shows the file is there.... ./ the script says it's not [20:12] craig__: do a sudo apt-cache search zfs [20:12] I actually can't use karmic [20:12] has someone an idea why my microphone is muted? [20:12] SpaceGhost: did you make an iso of an installed system or use the ubuntu iso? [20:12] this makes no sense at all... [20:12] trijntje, about 3 hours [20:13] eix: try a clean install, or just run 9.04 for now, many people got issues after upgarding from 9.04 [20:13] trijntje, also where do i edit the linked extensions? [20:13] SpaceGhost, that returned something about a bzflag-server .. something about a game server [20:13] SpaceGhost, I was working from this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS but i have replaced jaunty for karmic.. [20:13] DocMAX, what are linked extensions? === komputes_ubuntu is now known as komputes [20:14] craig__: keep the jaunty to see if that works. [20:14] it's doing this for all versions of the script.

[20:15] eix: Issue as in, in the release notes or something or? [20:15] Ubuntu sees my hard disk as one big bunch of unallocated space! though I can mount and access partitions !

That's worse case though [20:16] eix: nothing wrong with using 9.04 for now, it's still supported by security updates [20:16] how do I get the source code for the package "ksquares" ? Shouldn't it be in the repositories somewhere?

[20:18] !permissions | danielsevigny [20:18] danielsevigny: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [20:18] Scunizi: that's the best command ever! [20:18] DocMAX, you use other file managers next to nautilus [20:18] Houston have you tried getting/using partition magic? [20:18] SpaceGhost, no. just installed ubuntu [20:18] dajhorn: I used the source provided by the repository via apt-get source nethack [20:18] trijntje, yes XFE f.e. [20:18] iLag: Okay, then instead do something like $ sudo apt-get source --build nethack [20:18] dajhorn: and I also already did that [20:18] anyone got a simple way to make an ogv video by editing the first X seconds from the front and Y seconds from the back [20:18] Nalleman: sudo apt-get install smbfs samba nautilus-share [20:18] why did they change the default permissions like that? [20:19] stupid stupid stupid decision [20:19] so a 15 minute video, make a new video that is 1:50-12:20 of the original [20:19] was told partition magic was dangerous, i downloaded gparted, made bootable usb, used it and got the same error that the ubuntu live cd gave me when trying to resize my partition [20:19] iLag: Then you've got a bad patch. There isn't a "termlib" in Ubuntu. You probably mean libterm or libtermcap. [20:19] danielsevigny: no that's right [20:19] so that you wont accidentally eff up stuff. [20:19] danielsevigny: your not meant to just be able to run scripts [20:19] skyl, moviemaker? [20:19] skyl: I just installed LiVeS from www.getdeb.net and it looks rather promising. [20:19] dajhorn: I remember seeing an option like that [20:19] SpaceGhost, done [20:19] not even the ones that you make? [20:19] It used to be that if I made the file I had rwx on it... [20:20] DocMAX, its easier to do that in windows where you dont even have a choise in file manager ofc. ;) [20:20] danielsevigny: this is not Windows, programs don't just run [20:20] danielsevigny: you have to run them [20:20] Nalleman: now try to mount the remote drive. Do you have it shared with the correct permissions? [20:20] Scunizi, also check openshot [20:20] danielsevigny: what kind of scripts are you doing? .sh files or something? [20:20] kostkon: never heard of that one.. is it in the repos? [20:20] I know that seb. On server edition my scripts run because I have permissions on them. On the desktop version it's being stupid. [20:20] ok backup time [20:20] later.. [20:20] To test the permission theory I used ls -l to give me my long listing. [20:21] Scunizi, no, but you can get deb. i think also there is a ppa. http://www.openshotvideo.com/ [20:21] Younder: later friend. [20:21] I downloaded my X-Plane installer but it's refusing it to run [20:21] danielsevigny: well you got to set up the permissions to how you want them, it seems [20:21] i've followed the guide at apcmag.com and it doesn't tell me what to do when the error pops up [20:21] SpaceGhost, mount how? [20:21] the X-Plane installer is 777 [20:21] It should run. [20:21] danielsevigny: what's X-Plane? [20:21] danielsevigny: what type of file are you trying to run also? [20:21] A very good flight simulator. Demo is free. [20:21] dajhorn: thanks, that fixed my problem [20:21] !info xplane [20:21] Package xplane does not exist in karmic [20:21] iLag: Welcome. [20:22] Nalleman:click network then go to the computer and then corresponging drive [20:22] unfortunately it has no extension. [20:22] does transmission support magnet link protocol ? [20:22] I don't know what the designers set it up as but I've never had a problem with it before. [20:22] sunny007, did you add the user to the sound group? [20:22] rooist47: I think it's something you add into. [20:22] danielsevigny: ok well .sh and .bin those don't just run, you have to excute them, and mess around with permissions a bit maybe. Why? Simple security that's why [20:22] danielsevigny: what files do you have for x-plane? [20:23] well it's a 777 so it should run [20:23] SpaceGhost: how can I that ? [20:23] danielsevigny: I think .bin needs executing as well [20:23] ? [20:23] I use rtorrent too [20:23] pulseaudio can't see my sound card, but alsamixer in terminal can. ideas? [20:23] i can open the folder, but its not "mounted" in my linux file system, under ~/mnt [20:23] Has anybody an idea how to get a subpixel rendering like it is found in Apple Mac OS X? [20:23] rooist47: I'm not sure. [20:23] danielsevigny: how are you trying to get it to run? [20:23] maco: here? :) [20:23] if it's more easy to do it with rtorrent [20:23] SpaceGhost, i can open the folder, but its not "mounted" in my linux file system, under ~/mnt [20:23] Is anyone else encountering issues with the brodacom wireless drivers? [20:23] with 9.10 of course. [20:23] SpaceGhost: ok [20:23] seb it is 777 meaning ANYONE can execute. I've tried double clicking it. I've tried command line running it both with and with out the ./ === moomlyn_ is now known as linimoo [20:23] danielsevigny: chmod +x the files needed to start it [20:24] It says the file doesn't exist but it's there... [20:24] Nalleman: what exactly do you want to do? [20:24] SpaceGhost, I want to backup the folder, using rsync [20:24] Seriously guys.... How many times am I gonna have to say this. I've already chmodded the script. It's 777 which is EVERYONE rwx [20:24] danielsevigny: also.. ./ might not work on that file.. you might need to sh to get it to run.. if it's an installer try without sudo first for local install ..then with sudo if it doesn't [20:24] it's still not running with the same error. [20:25] can anyone help me? trying to partition my xp and add ubuntu to my harddrive, when the ubuntu live cd tries to resize my xp partition it says error, something like failed to write to device, I created bootable usb of gparted and ran it, it did the same thing [20:25] musty: have you tried the ndiswrapper thing? [20:25] danielsevigny: do I have to remind you that we are humans giving time and effort to help eachother, have patience. [20:25] i can not move any window using pointer and there has no option to cut or minimize or meximize the window,,,,,,,,, [20:25] I have a problem.

[20:25] SpaceGhost, And i belive it will be done if I can mount the folder under ~/ [20:26] I'd like to have patience too SpaceGhost but I've had to tell you all 4 times already that it's 777 and you all keep saying to give it execute permissions.

But staffers aren't able to K:line someone before he even does bad stuff. [21:28] !info smbmount > sin7ax [21:28] ActionParsnip: IIRC, smbfs is obsolete - the recommended way is mount.cifs [21:28] !info smbmount < sin7ax [21:28] '<' is not a valid distribution: hardy, hardy-backports, intrepid, intrepid-backports, jaunty, jaunty-backports, karmic, karmic-backports, karmic-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, medibuntu, partner [21:28] Why did you put flooders in quotes? [21:28] !info smbmount > sin7ax [21:28] Are you implying they aren't flooding? [21:28] SpaceGhostC2C: can you learn how to use the bot pleaqse before messing with it [21:28] Because they are. [21:28] nevermind. [21:28] phisher1: no [21:28] I take it you're refering to the people trying to send 'unknown' files grawity? [21:28] ikonia: I was playing with it in a message to just ubottu, and thought I had it. Sorry. [21:28] phisher1: staff can't tell if a particular user is doing something unless they actually do it [21:29] yes, aware of that [21:29] phisher1: yes theyre sending to the channel to try to exploit broken routers [21:29] phisher1: if you want staff to stop all the possible flooders beforehand, they'll have to shut down the whole network [21:29] the nicks in question were very drone like though.. [21:29] phisher1: thats why large quantities of people disappear from the network every time tey do it [21:29] Pez1: Yeah. [21:29] once again, well aware [21:29] If I could get the usplash background to show up until the desktop is ready, that'd be great. [21:29] I just upgraded to Karmic Koala and my 2048x1536 display no longer shows resolutions about 1280x1034. This is a disaster - can I fix it or must I downgrade? [21:30] s/about/above/ [21:30] i have downloaded the alternative.iso 9.10 for upgrade, i though it would be very fast the upgrade. but now is downloading some files, its downloading 1147/1547 [21:30] esr: did you install the appropriate driver for your video card? [21:30] is it necessary to wait download these files [21:30] esr: you may need to install the restricted driver for your video card in order to achieve the higher resolutions. [21:30] ?? [21:31] Edgar1: you have packages which arent on the CD but the repos you have added have karmic repos [21:31] Hi guys...does anybody knows (or have a clue) about how can I configure my infra-red remote control on HP Pavilion dv2000? [21:31] phisher1: "Restricted drivers" didn't suggest anything. Is there somewhere else I should look? [21:32] esr, enable them [21:32] ActionParsnip so i have to wait? well, before that the wizard told me that my actual repos wont be used [21:33] hi, i am using kile to write latex documents; after a while of writing i need only the contents as pdf document; is it possible only to generate a contents.pdf with kile? [21:33] bugaloo: I'm guessing you want lirc. [21:33] leaf-sheep, yes... I think you're right, but I have no idea how to use/configure it [21:33] syk: "enable them", how? [21:33] in Synaptic it says wine 1.2 and then next to it 1.1.31-Oubuntu3 What does that mean? is it the ppa one or ? [21:34] leaf-sheep, first of all, it asks me the remote control model, but it doesn't show any HP model or something like that [21:34] and now that i have downloaded the smf files [21:34] where to store them? [21:34] so I'm kind of lost here [21:34] Edgar1: not sure then [21:34] esr, open restricted drivers, click on the driver and click enable [21:34] bugaloo: Find it here --> http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/ [21:34] darn it [21:34] leaf-sheep, hm... I'll take a look... thanks [21:34] livingdaylight, no [21:35] i just put ubuntu 9.10 on my thinkpad, i've used ubuntu plenty but never on this machine, it's an R40 (not very relevant). I plugged my PCMCIA wifi card (Linksys WPC54G v3) in and lspci shows a new broadcom 54g, but it shows up as "not ready" in the wireless applet [21:35] leaf-sheep, ok... still lost, but now I have a path to follow :) thanks for the tip [21:35] syk: I have opened the restricted drivers window. There are none to select [21:36] livingdaylight, to add the ppa, go in system → admin → software sources, select the 3rd party software, press add the put: ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa [21:36] rvn: websearch the line in lspci for guides [21:36] livingdaylight, press add, then reload. [21:36] bugaloo: It have been a while since I configured lirc. You have to configure two or three files. Depends on your system. It's in /etc/lirc, I believe. [21:36] asdfasd [21:36] kostkon, by why is it called 1.2? thenit says 1.1.31? [21:36] What the hell was that FloodBot1 thing? [21:37] ok there is the deal, i have ubuntu server or VM, if i have lamp, i can go to http://localhost, (through Host OS)? [21:37] N3OInc: ask in #Ubuntu-ops if interested, not here please [21:37] hello! [21:37] livingdaylight, there are two wine packages in the karmic repos. one, the wine one, that is the 1.0.x, the stable one and the wine1.2 for the 1.1.x unstable series [21:37] abstract4d: only through the guest [21:37] leaf-sheep, ok, thanks [21:37] abstract4d: or if port 80 on the host points to port 80 on the guest [21:38] lstarnes: could u help me with that please? [21:38] kostkon, ok, but although 1.0 is stable it spotify doesn't work with it? and the unstable one does? have i got that right ? [21:38] livingdaylight, yeap [21:39] abstract4d: you can use iptables or ufw for port forwarding [21:39] abstract4d: both are installed in ubuntu by default [21:39] I have an Intel 965 graphics chip on board. Surely *that* does not require a proprietary driver? Why did this "ipgrade" throwe away my 2048x1536 capabilty? [21:39] abstract4d: also, you will need to make sure that the vm can recieve incoming connections rather than just make outgoing ones [21:39] esr: wht upgrade? [21:40] lstarnes: or i could connect my vm with a free domain and i would access it from everywhere? [21:40] is that a good thinking? [21:40] checkinstall is so cool [21:40] It just saved my day [21:41] Ibw: checkinstall does not generate "safe" debs for sharing [21:41] abstract4d: you would still need to haveport forwarding and vm networking properly configured for that [21:41] Ibw: just makes it easier to uninstall what youve installed === knopies is now known as knoppies [21:41] maco: That's prefect, because I don't need to share anything. I just needed a method to install a package from source because I needed the latest version and I'm still running Hardy [21:41] lstarnes: yes! but i could connect from every pc right?! [21:41] hi, in the past when I needed to partition and format a hard disk I just used QTPARTED... I cannot find qtparted in apt-repository, could someone please suggest a nice format utility with a nice GUI :D [21:41] abstract4d: yes [21:41] maco: I just upgraded to 9.10, and my 2048x1536 minitor won't go above 1280x1024 any more . With ain Intel 965, to "needs a proprietary driver" can't be an excuse here. [21:42] well i will search for that and come back with my reports! [21:42] thanks [21:42] abstract4d: assuming that your ISP doesn't block it [21:42] maco: Thanks for the tip though [21:42] Ibw: ok. just a warning not to try to copy the deb to another computer [21:42] hardy is what? 7.xx? [21:42] maco: just fixed the wireless, btw. [21:42] Nachturnal: 8.04 [21:42] I had a crash of pulseaudio, can somebody please tel me what is selected for for volume control of the pulseaudio applet and then configuration and then profile: what is selected here? [21:42] 8.10 [21:42] or something [21:42] ah ok [21:42] esr: and it went that high on jaunty? mine didnt :( [21:42] abstract4d: if you're behind a router, you'll also need to have the router forward [21:42] i'm on jaunty i believe. 9.04 [21:42] maco: sudo modprobe -r ssb wl b43 [21:42] Ibw: 8.10 is intrepid [21:42] ;) [21:42] maco: It went high on Jaunty. [21:42] And WTF? [21:43] esr: There are too many issues with upgrading 9.04 --> 9.10. FYI. [21:43] join #ubuntu-es [21:43] I thought Ubuntu had gotten past this kind of random shit. [21:43] i wish [21:43] leaf-sheep, wut issues? [21:43] all people are from denmark here?

Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [21:43] esr: kernel modesetting should mean you get higher resolutions even without having to boot plugged in on 9.10...

[21:43] parasiutas: nopee [21:43] nope [21:43] parasiutas, no [21:44] parasiutas, no [21:44] esr: i couldnt get 2 monitors working because 1280x1280 was my computer's max until kms was enabled in 9.10, and ive got a 965 as well [21:44] hello all, i have somehow managed to install DSL can i install /upgrade to ubuntu with it ??? [21:44] kostkon, do you configure winecfg in any particular way? [21:44] musty: Upgrading-related issues. From what I have been reading in this channel... and forums.

But the pulseaudio problems have been a huge headache for me as well. Its had me considering a migration.

Logging in there (cli) and trying to startx resulted in nothing.. reboot.. nothing but cli access .. maybe a vbox problem.. reinstall vbox.. try again and only cli. try booting with shift held down for grub menu.. nothing.. Any ideas?

It worked in Jaunty, but does not in Karmic. Where should I search for fixing it? I tried the xorg touchscreen driver (evtouch) and the kernel. Any idea? [22:07] Slart: thanks that looks pretty good. I guess it can monitor CPU, memory, etc eh? [22:07] I've attempted to chmod and chroot, and while the operations seem to work recursively through the directories, the folders remain rwx------ [22:07] Doonz: this page is pretty good.. with examples and such http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/06/15-practical-crontab-examples/ [22:07] i have a question about my crontab, particularly why it seems to not be running my cron jobs [22:07] eka^: sudo chown -R David:David /media/1TB [22:07] !crontab [22:07] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts.

I think there is a modular plugin system too so you can do some really weird stuff with it [22:08] eka^: ouch.. a 1TB fat32 drive? that might be one of your problems.. either ext3/4 or NTFS for something that size.. I think that fat32 has problems over a certain size.. and no journaling for possible recovery [22:08] Stoltz: ive read these, i dont seem to be having any luck [22:08] I used that because it was going to be swapped between systems [22:08] Slart: I guess you use it eh? Is it easy to configure? (ie I want to fire-and-forget right now, then probably tweak and explore plugins next week) [22:09] there are no files larger than 4gb on there [22:09] and it's detected by ubuntu fine [22:09] has there any off line English to English dictionary for ubuntu?

[22:09] my cron jobs dont seem to be running at all. i have the following line in my crontab: */1 * * * * echo 'it works' [22:09] Mike_lifeguard: I don't use it right now.. but I used to.. if I remember correctly there was a web portal for configuring it.. so you clicked around, setting stuff and so on and then it just worked [22:09] Scunizi, mac's don't really like ntfs all that much though [22:09] mehedi: en to en? 0_o [22:09] !gvfs [22:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about gvfs [22:09] !gvfs-mount [22:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about gvfs-mount [22:09] grr [22:09] has there any off line English to English dictionary for ubuntu?

[22:11] seakazam: why not do "date >> /var/somelogfile.txt" so you can see if it fires, how often and so on [22:11] eka^: win xp and maybe vista/7 can read/write ext3 .. you have to install a driver for it though [22:11] ya normal dictionary [22:11] only for searching the meaning of words [22:11] Slart: ill try that [22:12] Scunizi: they've updated those drivers? didn't it use to be just ext2? [22:12] quiensoy: I don't think so at the moment. Ubuntu starts many things at startup Moblin does not have. Of course, you can disable them in Ubuntu, so it will boot a bit faster. But in most cases, it is not worth the seconds you gain (as Ubuntu 9.10 already starts quite fast) [22:12] American English [22:12] Scunizi, are there any reported issues with ubuntu not being able to properly change ownership on fat32 drives? [22:12] mehedi: I would suggest to search for dictionary server if one exists, install it. Obtain all dictionaries to your server. And use that. [22:12] last year I look at all or almost all of the programs in Add/Remove that said they could RIP CDs and I didn't really find anything I liked a lot (I think) so it would be great if someone could just suggest a program to me or tell me what they use [22:12] has there any off line English to English dictionary for ubuntu?

So it was Keyboard Shortcuts under Preferences. :) [22:44] :| should i not be installing karmic on my lappy? [22:44] tsimpson: because those are the default in the livecd partition section, just wish to know that ive assigned enough space for each I know 2gb for boot is more than enough not sure about the rest [22:44] <][Kue]2vo][> yes, i create a panel but i maked TRANSPARENT and Hide Automatic...now i cant open this panel =( [22:44] Any ideas why my apache won't install ? http://codepad.org/afgskkcg [22:44] leaf-sheep: nope.. just preferences, keyboard ... not the keyboard shortcuts [22:45] oh perfect.

[22:45] well, i asked it: I cant configure my AIPTEK 14000u tablet on ubuntu 9.10 [22:45] Pirate_Hunter: that's not the default partition layout [22:45] i found some stuff on the net [22:45] snake__: you trying to work round the lack of shmconfig [22:45] but none of this worked [22:45] leaf-sheep: keyboard shortcuts is gnome-keybinding-properties [22:45] Pirate_Hunter: there is no need to have a partion for /usr, /var, /opt and /srv [22:45] "PSCHYCHO DAAAD!!!" /Lovin it, lovin it [22:45] <][Kue]2vo][> U see border of the Panel but i cant add nothing and cant open [22:45] Pirate_Hunter: you'll probably never even use /srv [22:45] guys, I have a question, my download rate is 30++ KB/s which is considered fast since the ISP speed is 1Mb, but when i'm trying to load a page while downloading, I kept on receiving the problem loading page error. What may cause this? How to solve it? [22:46] blackest_knight, not to mention the build-essential package that doesn't include the full header sources so i can't compile my driver for my DVB-S2 card >_> [22:46] YDNWK: quit the randomness [22:46] isolat3dsh33p: 30K/s isn't fast... [22:46] Dimitree: there is more than one broken package in karmic [22:46] blackest_knight, i dont know, I actived shmconfig to use synclient but now it configs are not persistent [22:46] Pirate_Hunter: /, /home and swap are usually sufficient [22:46] I have problem with an AIPTEK media tablet 14000u under ubuntu 9.10 ? I tried everything and i couldnt configure it :( Can someone help me ? Pls PM me [22:46] any one knows how to downgrade gcc and g++ from 4.4 to 4.3 on karmic ? [22:46] blackest_knight, why relase a broken system :( why ? [22:46] YDNWK: don't PM me [22:47] Ben64, for 1Mb ISP rating, it is :/ [22:47] tsimpson: on the server 8.04 it is at least those are the partitions I see available and I'll probably never use /srv but remember Im trying to create a small webserver (standard/home) I think /var at least needs its own partition but even that I aint sure [22:47] does anybody have any idea what may be the problem with linux, or my computer for that matter. Every time I install a Nvidia driver, no matter what version of the driver or of Ubuntu, I get a X errors or black screen after the Ubuntu boot loader (after Grub). I used to get just a bunch of errors, but ever since I upgraded to 9.10, I get a black screen. Hitting Ctrl-Alt-F1 shows no X log... [22:47] ...errors. Note: the first time I installed the Nvidia drivers they worked fine, but after I had to wipe my hd, they never worked again. I have 2x 280Ms wroking in Sli. [22:47] any one knows how to downgrade gcc and g++ from 4.4 to 4.3 on karmic ? [22:47] Ben64, how fast is your download rate? [22:47] how good is the 64bit support for ubuntu? I have heard some applications don't work as well. [22:47] Dimitree: i'm probably taking it far too personal ,(to piss me off) [22:47] Entity|sick: They do. [22:47] Entity|sick: not really.. these days it's just fine [22:47] isolat3dsh33p: i have no idea what "1Mb ISP rating" is, but 30K/s is slow for this age. [22:47] lol [22:47] Pirate_Hunter: the reason the server install can have all those partitions is because some of those are expected to be NFS shares [22:47] isolat3dsh33p: I download at 300K/s here, both of my friends download at 600K/s [22:48] how to set gnome 3 as default? [22:48] Drakonas: this just occured to me, does the SHIFT+ALT+F1 works? [22:48] Entity|sick: I can't really think of anything that doesn't work with 64bit.. perhaps some proprietary plugins for electronic ids.. but that's about it [22:48] yes [22:48] jpds, Slart so, I will find everything completely in order? no library differences, etc? [22:48] any one knows how to downgrade gcc and g++ from 4.4 to 4.3 on karmic ? [22:48] but x shows no errors [22:48] s/differences/problems/ [22:48] Pirate_Hunter: unless you're running a medium size company web service, you only need / and /home [22:48] Drakonas: check xorg.conf? [22:48] is this the right place to ask bout this : any one knows how to downgrade gcc and g++ from 4.4 to 4.3 on karmic ? [22:48] Entity|sick: I've been running 64bit for a couple of years now.. java works, flash works... what else used to be bad? [22:48] LjL: Lartboy. I just spoke to you. Later on this will be worth millions. [22:48] I did, nvidia is set as the driver [22:48] Pirate_Hunter: I can run apache fine without /var being a partition === gavin___ is now known as urizen [22:48] no problems [22:48] Anyone knows smthing about AIPTEK Media tablets on 9.10 ? [22:49] Slart, ok. Also, I assume 32bit Apps can be insalled. Am I correct> [22:49] nullkuhl: this is the right place [22:49] Entity|sick: as I said.. I can't think of anything that doesn't work any more. [22:49] it worked just fine on 9.04 :( [22:49] +corrections [22:49] Slart: flash was the latest thing to not work, but it does now [22:49] blackest_knight, i dont know, I actived shmconfig to use synclient but now it configs are not persistent [22:49] IonCannon218: any idea then ? [22:49] Ok. [22:49] Thanks! [22:49] nullkuhl: no i do not [22:49] Entity|sick: 32bit apps can be installed.. usually they require 32bit libraries as well though [22:49] Oh. [22:49] Drakonas: try safe graphics mode? [22:49] oh whatever :/ i hope the TLS release will be better :/ [22:49] So there could be the gotcha [22:49] there is none, only recovery mode [22:49] Slart: any idea how to downgrade gcc and g++ from 4.4 to 4.3 on karmic ? [22:49] that gies no graphics whatsoever [22:49] but what 32bit only apps do you need? [22:49] Ben64, i'm not sure the correct term. But yeah, it's slow. My country is just 5 years behind [22:49] *gives [22:49] tsimpson: so 1gb - swap, 15 home, and the rest for /? awww ok that explains a lot dont think I will be using NFS anytime soon so yeah tell me what you think about the new setup [22:50] nullkuhl: I would uninstall them and then find a deb with the older version and install that [22:50] <][Kue]2vo][> anybody speak spanish??

I set my status to invisible, how the heck did she know i'm here? or she doesn't and just gets the "$user is disconnected, he'll receive ur msg when he's online" ? [22:53] no i haven't [22:53] Dimitree: i make my router do pppoe, no clue [22:54] Drakonas: print that out and try it [22:54] obiwan__ -- what network is this on? [22:54] obiwan__: Talk with the gal.

[22:55] isolat3dsh33p: well I envy people in Sweden and Japan, and South Korea and...... [22:55] Dimitree, I have had no problems with the Network manager [22:55] I could connect right away [22:55] the future of potential new linuxer boys is on your hands, i'm geting caped if she finds out i'm tricking her.. leaf-sheep i can't manug is on msn [22:55] Dimitree: whats wrong with the network manager? I run 8.04 on my desktop, installing karmic on my laptop right now [22:55] i had problems with that [22:55] Entity|sick, do you use pppoe ? [22:55] obiwan__: Not an Ubuntu question, but nothing stops one IM users IMing another just because they are invisible. Nothing is going to tie you to a house except logs on the client (which you can easily remove) and on the IM provider's server (which proabably need a court order to get) [22:55] on my laptop i had to uninstall networkmanager [22:55] Dimitree, wifi [22:55] to get wirless to work [22:55] pppoe is broken it work only after update prom ppa repositorys [22:56] Slart: yes its there, 4.3 gcc and g++ on jaunty (9.04) , i guess i have to downgrade to 9.04 jaunty [22:56] ifconfig and iwconfig works fine for me [22:56] Myxb: 8-10 for /, its not a lot of space being given you sure about that considering how easy it is for /var/ to grow [22:56] obiwan__: If you're connecting through a company server or a company VPN, then they could see. Maybe she just guessed that you were at your computer. [22:56] Dimitree, oh [22:56] nullkuhl: nah.. not really.. just uninstall gcc first.. then download the 4.3 packages from that page and install them [22:57] Hello Ubuntu wizards. If someone could tell me how to add startup program to gnome sessions without gui i would appreciate it alot. My googlefu has failed so far. [22:57] obiwan__: "Yeah, I could lie... but I'm not going to stoop down to that level. I'll admit this is a mistake on my fault and I'm sorry. We cool?" [22:57] Slart: but now after uninstalling gcc, its like un installing alot of packages with it.. i feel like the whole os packages is getting uninstalled lol [22:57] does the ubuntu wiki have <> disabled? [22:57] nullkuhl: oh.. that might be bad.. yes.. [22:57] AJC_Z0: that's enough , she's not a cop lol thanks dajhorn we're not in any vpn hehe [22:57] how do i check my hardware addresses my audio/alsa is using? [22:57] Ben64, haha [22:57] nullkuhl: is it like uninstalling hundreds of packages? [22:57] Slart: yes [22:58] Entity|sick, but to get it you must use sudo pppoeconf which disables Network Manager from managin your card, and then you have to get the updates from the ppa, and then you have to hack and slash in network devices and another 3 folders to remove the pppoeconf settings and even then Ifupdown tries to autoconnect and you can't edit it with the Gui cos the button is disabled and then you have to edit network devices again and THEN Dsl autoconnects on bo [22:58] ot >_> [22:58] Slart: including compiz stuff python libs [22:58] nullkuhl: I would stop it before it gets to someting fatal [22:58] Slart: but what would i do then :S [22:58] Entity|sick, i have no idea how every day users are going to achieve that ... [22:58] nullkuhl: reinstall ubuntu-desktop [22:58] obiwan__ this isn't an ubuntu-specific problem. i'm not sure how msn works with invis but pidgin problably does the same thing [22:58] Dimitree, ouch [22:58] nullkuhl: that should get you back to something that would at least run [22:58] Don't use ppoe directly from the machine? [22:58] obiwan__ with aim, you can still messages people who are invisible [22:59] get a router to do it. [22:59] obiwan__: it is more than likely is spam if you send her a msg. back she will let you see her on cam or some such nonsense [22:59] ho [22:59] hi [22:59] Slart: ok and after, i mean ill end up with gcc 4.4 again, because i already see the 4.3 packages but when i choose them , they get installed however i run gcc i get no such app, but if i run gcc-4.3 it works, so i cant make my whole world point to gcc-4.3 u know what i mean ? [22:59] obiwan__: rm ~/.purple/logs/$network/$your_id/floozy/$datetime.txt [23:00] leaf-sheep: yeah i could lie, but that's not my style, i'm cheating g you with your friend , say hello to her huny ¬¬ if she knows i'm here shes killing me dude [23:00] Pirate_Hunter: I have 11G for / of which only 6.5G is used. and it is quite stuffed with software. you need just to keep your system clean, like remove old kernels and clean apt cache. besides you always can boot from a live cd and resize your partitions (with some grub tweaking) [23:00] nullkuhl: ah.. tricky [23:00] or better, -rf .../floozy [23:00] nullkuhl: but there has to be a way of using a special version of gcc.. have you check the gcc site? searched the ubuntu forums? [23:00] how do i convert png to jpg? [23:00] but it's alright , if invisible = not connected it's no problem at all [23:00] i am getting "could not read /etc/udev/rules.d/z80_user.rules" during boot. the file is a symlink pointing to an empty could not read /etc/udev/z80_user.rules file. any idea what is might be?

[23:06] OK hmmm [23:06] depending on your computer speed [23:06] depends on your connection [23:07] I just upgraded (packages, not distribution) and now I can only get graphics in safe graphics mode. It makes me go through a bunch of dialogs every time. Also ALSA has suddenly stopped working. Oh, and my touchpad. What would make all my drivers stop working at once? [23:07] Anyway, the point for the channel regulars is: don't jump to the conclusion that this bug has anything to do with nVidia or drivers. It's much more general (and worse) than that. [23:07] grimboy: kernel update? [23:07] lol Slart hahah xD [23:08] Slart: Yes, well that's the other thing. I can only run the last series of kernels. [23:08] Safe mode graphics is all messed up in the newest ones. [23:08] Slart, http://pastebin.com/m2493f153 [23:08] But I still am forced to use default big chunky graphics even though I use my old familiar kernel. [23:08] grimboy: hmm.. not really sure what would mess up the safe mode.. that's usually.. well.. safe =/ [23:08] http://pastebin.com/maadce9e [23:08] Good morning, to be honest, i borrowed someone my computer and she deleted my widgets and my shortcuts, any idea to get them back?

Don't underestimate the vindictive capabilities of persons of the female persuasion [23:09] hey guys, I have a problem. I think my hardware is set up very awkwardly. I cannot get success with any nvidia driver in any version of ubuntu. Funny thing is, it worked the first time, but never again. I have come to think it has to do with the ahci. I have a setting in the bios to choose the default os (not boot order, under advanced), and I have to choose Windows Vista, b/c choosing other... [23:09] ...causes my 2 hd's and the cdrom to disappear from the boot list. [23:10] esr: the nvidia closed source driver i well known for not parsing EDID data correctly [23:10] One of the deleted Alan502's widgets! [23:10] esr: you have to tell it dpi information by hand it can figure it out in most cases for a starter [23:11] I get a black screen when booting ubuntu or kubuntu 9.10 [23:11] a6: hmm.. you're indeed using the binary driver.. so far so good.. hang on a sec.. let me find something for you [23:11] and a bunch of errors for X in older version [23:11] erUSUL: The problrem is much more general than that. I just saw it using an Intel 965. [23:11] does the splashscreen works? [23:11] well i have already recovered my widgets and icons, but icons where in like a "grey" box that looked pretty neat, how do i fix this??? please help! and sorry if i sound too... amateur [23:11] a6: try running this script and see what it says http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check [23:11] esr: it really doesn't seem like that big of a deal, edid isn't very exacting [23:12] Ben64: But 9.04 got this right. We have a regression here. [23:13] hi .. any IRC servers for oracle, DBA channels ? [23:13] And it *is* a big deal, for anyone who doesn't grok X custom modelines it's unrecoverable. [23:13] Hi everyone: I'm new to linux and want to start learning the BASH shell. Does anyone have any book recommendations for a beginner? [23:14] I don't see grok very often. Good book, though. [23:14] esr: sometimes i have to plug my hdtv into my laptop 3 or 4 times before it gets the right resolution for it, edid sucks [23:14] Azanoth: try this one.. it's free http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html [23:14] I do familiarity with ruby and a little bit of perl... so my knowledge is technical at least [23:14] esr: it's not like it's system killing, not very hard to add a modeline, or find a irc channel to help with it [23:14] Azanoth: you want to program shell or just use the shell ? [23:14] !cli | Azanoth [23:14] Azanoth: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

The only thing is that I'm going to be setting on a plane for the next 5 hours, and I was gonna run and grab a book for that [23:16] will you have a laptop? [23:16] karmic has so many darn bugs [23:16] i might as well go back to jaunty [23:16] I do appreciate everyone's effort to keep my pocketbook intact :) No laptop [23:16] Azanoth: free comic books, all genres @ http://mediafire/komix -- You're welcome.

Theres no way to customize each trigger like on 9.04 [23:27] #ubuntu is so quite [23:27] Hello. What is a good synchronising tool between ubuntu and windows? [23:28] is there a way to find out the partition type without mounting it [23:28] SuperPii, it's because of having to register names. I had to and before I did tons of people were piling into Ubuntu-unregistered or whatever it was named [23:29] when is karmic going to have less soo many bugs? [23:29] Panda^^: http://one.ubuntu.com and then ubuntu will sync automatically and windows might be able to use "mysynctoy" a free download. [23:29] Panda^^, I think Dropbox is better, but 9.10 added in Ubuntu One. [23:30] Dropbox is cross platform as well. Ubuntu One is just for Ubuntu. Plus Dropbox can be accessed through a browser [23:30] karmic is worse than old windows [23:30] Ok, I opended Ubuntu One onces and didn understand anything.. Gotta give it a go then [23:30] How can I enter my virtual C drive from Wine in the terminal ?

[23:33] spO`: did you just dist upgrade from 9.04? [23:33] * RenatoSilva ponders about deleting ubuntu at all, and using windows 7 only [23:33] spO`: if so, are you running the right kernel? [23:34] maco: guess I'll miss out until the new lst comes out [23:34] maco, i upgraded a long time ago and i did a fresh install [23:34] sebsebseb: look at alunchpad bugs about it [23:34] spO`: oh [23:34] how do I know my current intel graphics driver on the command line?

[23:35] The_Journey: grep driver | /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:35] spO`: the bugs are basically here to stay with 9.10 now, unless they fix a security issue [23:35] RenatoSilva: enough please [23:35] spO`: 10.04 should be better though :) since it's LTS as well [23:35] sebsebseb: um SRUs exist so we can do bugfixes post-release [23:35] maco: What's that? [23:35] sebsebseb: its just that the bugs tend to be fixed in devel first then released in stable [23:35] wtf? [23:35] sebsebseb: Stable Release Updates [23:36] spO`: please control your language [23:36] sbsehbse, you are saying karmic is unfixable?

[23:36] sebse, then why would bugs remain? [23:37] !doesntwork | The_Journey [23:37] The_Journey: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [23:37] spO`: I thought it was security updates only from the repo to fix bugs, but I guess I am wrong [23:37] erUSUL: well it gave me permision denied [23:37] Does anyone have a recommendation for a good sound card to buy?

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [23:39] Hi, is there a command I can use (or can I use the Search For Files GUI) to search for files recursivly that do not have extensions jpg, JPG, png, PNG? thanks [23:39] digitalfiz: there's another link just above [23:39] glen__: find [23:40] There's a keyring manager that pops up soon after I log in, and asks for a password. I cannot figure out how to change its password -- I changed my login password, but that didn't affect it. How can I change it? [23:40] glen__: find /some/directory ! -iname '*.jpg' ! -iname '*.png' [23:40] ! means "not" [23:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about means "not" [23:40] silly bot [23:40] offby1: thanks :) [23:41] "oeuf" means "egg" [23:41] it's like those French have a different word for _everything_ [23:41] in my case, the popup says that it's NetworkManagerApplet that wants to unlock the keyring [23:42] offby1: go to keyring settings [23:42] offby1: system-> preferences, i think [23:42] maco: I think I already did, but I'll try again. [23:42] offby1: its the login keyring [23:42] offby1: do you have wep or wpa on wireless? [23:42] offby1: if so that's why the keyring manager is poping up [23:43] erUSUL: Thanks for grub2 link - too bad I won't remember it :) [23:43] Scunizi: I am indeed using either web or wpa (not sure which, but I know that I need a password to connect to the wireless here) [23:43] Iowan: ubottu will [23:43] !grub2 > Iowan [23:43] Iowan, please see my private message [23:43] I'm not upset that the keyring manager is poping up; I'm upset that the password it wants is still "x" even though I've since changed my login password to something else. [23:43] offby1: then the keyring manager is wanting your input to pass the password along to the wireless router.. [23:44] offby1: oh.. yea.. I heard about that.. weirdness abounds.. [23:44] is there an ultralight ubuntu floating around? [23:44] maco: I couldn't find anything labeled "keyring settings", but I did find "Encryption and Keyrings". However, I still cannot figure out how to change my password with that. [23:44] This is Karmic, by the way. [23:45] offby1: is there a "passwords" tab ? [23:45] offby1: and one of the things listed shows a folder and says "Passwords: login"? [23:45] offby1: right click -> change password [23:45] offby1: do you also have "auto login" enabled? [23:46] maco: there's a "PGP Passphrases" tab. [23:46] maco: but it doesn't say anything about login, which seems reasonable [23:46] Scunizi: no, no auto login. [23:46] offby1: um try just running the "seahorse" command [23:47] offby1: check this link to change the password.. a bit older but might work. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/syndicated-linux-news-67/lxer-auto-unlock-keyring-manager-in-ubuntu-intrepid-711625/ [23:47] huh, never heard of that, but OK [23:47] offby1: the first tab in seahorse is Passwords. thats the one you want [23:47] aha [23:47] offby1: maco seahorse is in Aplications>Accesories> [23:48] erUSUL: yeah i know [23:48] maco: OK, seahorse looks a bit like what you described. [23:48] erm, odd question, if I have a 32bit installed machine, and I rather desperately need to take it to 64bit, is a reinstall my only option [23:48] erUSUL: but system -> preferences -> keyrings is supposed to go to seahorse's keyring stuff [23:48] or is there a sane way to upgrade it :) [23:48] Symmetria: yes, must reinsall [23:48] maco: do you know if I can make it not bother to prompt for a password at all? That'd be more convenient, and I'm not concerned with security [23:48] offby1: if the password matches your login password, it shouldnt prompt [23:48] ugh [23:48] reinstall is gonna be horrible ;p [23:48] maco: it does not. ask about passphrase caching behavior [23:49] maco: lemme log out and in and see if that works. [23:49] Symmetria: if you have a seperate /home it should be "less" painless [23:50] maco: that seems to have worked! I guess I just now need to remember to run "seahorse" to change my password, if I ever change my login password again. Thanks. [23:50] Scunizi heh, my /home directory isnt what I'm worried about :) [23:50] will these people ever give up ? :o [23:51] offby1: its applications -> accessories -> encryption keys, or something like that [23:51] my /base-storage is the massive ftp/apache/etc configs on there are :) [23:51] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [23:51] Is there a way to view a list of usernames? I know how to get a list of groups (nano /etc/passwd). [23:51] maco: yes, it's there. It's odd that System -> Preferences -> Encryption and Keys appears to run a separate app. [23:52] Fishscene: /etc/passwd contains the user names, /etc/group contains group names [23:52] Fishscene: sudo cat /etc/shadow? [23:53] Pardon my confusion. I'm currently logged in as "administrator" (My username). But that is not listed here. Am I not understanding something? [23:54] O_o [23:54] Fishscene: `getent passwd` will dump the user database through the PAM facility. It will give you a a list of everybody in the local passwd file, plus any user mapped through NIS or ActiveDirectory.
