[00:00] RFXCasey: it's a fake request; ignore it [00:02] !exploit [00:02] There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit [00:02] Thanks, ubottu [00:03] RFXCasey, Is you nick registered? some irc stuff on freenode needs a registerd name [00:03] Colonel_Panik: a dcc chat request usually would not require that [00:03] whats the difference between > and >> [00:03] I need to know exactly how to enter an install option at the end of the install options list [00:04] for example i did ls *.mp3 > list.txt [00:04] q0_0p: Write to file and append to file [00:04] q0_0p: one qverwittes the other appends [00:04] q0_0p: one overwittes the other appends [00:04] q0_0p: > overrwrites [00:04] as oppose to ls *.mp3 >> list.txt [00:04] q0_0p: >> adds [00:04] ah [00:04] I need to know exactly how to enter an install option at the end of the install options list [00:04] lstarnes, thx [00:04] lstarnes, thx for clarifying it ot me [00:04] Hello, I want to convert ext3 to ext4 on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, I can't unmount my filesytem since it is inuse:S, and I dont want to format it ( long story ) help lease [00:04] memory of exact requirements escape me... [00:04] please** [00:05] q0_0p: cat file1 > file2 - overwrites the content of file2 with the content of file1; [00:05] cat file1 >> file2 - appends the content of file1 to file2 [00:05] Hello. What algo is used to create the file name in ~/.thumbnails? [00:05] ah [00:05] makes sense [00:05] vlt: what are some of the filenames there? [00:06] vlt: probably some simple hash [00:06] ardchoille, so if i had two text files and >> two files then the two documents would be in one file [00:06] hi [00:06] ardchoille, appending meaning adding it to the bottom? [00:06] erUSUL: hash of what? [00:06] q0_0p: the content of both files would be added to one file, yes [00:06] !netsplit [00:06] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [00:06] Black_Phantom, And I wanna bugatty veyron, but it aint ganna happen.. [00:06] vlt: original name ? [00:06] erUSUL: name, name+mtime, name+mtime+resolution, ...? [00:06] vlt: the files' contents or the original name [00:06] can anyone help me with a problem ive been having with mobile broadband? [00:06] q0_0p: But, you would still have the original two files until you rm'd them [00:07] vlt: it could even be a random identifier [00:07] Younder, can Gparted live cd convert filesystems ? [00:07] Younder , there you are [00:07] lol [00:07] vlt: what are some examples of names that you see there? [00:07] ardchoille, i understand cool [00:07] lstarnes: random doesn't make much sense when you want to reuse it, I think [00:08] lstarnes: df65798a7d91f53a7c51a21e4940a841.png [00:08] you ran away before I got to tell you why internet doesnt work for me on Ubuntu :P [00:08] lstarnes: looks like md5 of something [00:08] vlt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hash_functions <<< non crypto hash functions [00:08] i am behind a firewall will this break my dcc chat? [00:08] RFXCasey: it might [00:08] RFXCasey: don't use dcc chat. Use private messaging instead [00:08] RFXCasey: you can use /msg user message, or /query user [00:09] just that people keep trying to dcc me [00:09] can you help with a problem [00:09] RFXCasey: ignore them [00:09] I don't use irc much so I forget everything [00:09] Any idea how to get ffmpeg or mplayer that works with the Nvidia Cuda drivers ? [00:09] RFXCasey: what install options list were you talking about? [00:10] RFXCasey: those "people" are script kiddies trying to crash your router. [00:10] in the Ubuntu install screen [00:10] I got my Ubuntu CD all burned up over here and ready to go! [00:10] how do I put a name before I type in this chat [00:10] Black_Phantom, no GParted does pationing [00:10] RFXCasey I copy paste [00:11] can someone private my extereme newbness [00:11] !tab | RFXCasey pfred1 [00:11] RFXCasey: type it manually [00:11] Younder *** [00:11] !tab [00:11] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [00:11] RFXCasey: or type a couple letters then press TAB [00:11] RFXCasey pfred1: please see above [00:11] RFXCasey: I'm not exactly sure how to add install options. Someone else here might know (make sure that you say that it's for the ubuntu install disk) [00:11] lstarnes eeewww [00:11] I thought there was an auto complete function [00:11] ok yes thanks [00:11] RFXCasey tab [00:11] Pici: :S [00:15] Anyone knows how an ati radeon HD4650 1GB AGP (I only have this slot on an old computer) performs for games with the catalyst drivers?? [00:16] ldvx: depends on the connection. SATA? [00:17] ldvx: I have a feel you are limited by restrictions of yoyr connection [00:17] Younder: AGP 4x/8x. and IDE [00:17] hello?

[00:18] can someone say my name so I can see if I got the highlight working [00:18] I'm having troubles getting gtk and it's lib installed on my version of ubuntu [00:18] RFXCasey: hi there [00:18] hum no love [00:18] ldvx: as oposed to sata 3 Gb/s [00:18] Younder: so actually the hard drive would be a bottlebeck because it's IDE? [00:19] ldvx, right [00:19] I have gtk+-1.2.10 and glib-2.22.2 [00:19] ldvx, harddrives are always the bottleneck [00:19] and I'm trying to get them installed [00:20] Is it possible to conncet to Ubuntu One without the NetworkManager?

[00:21] wrong* [00:21] its a problem ive had knuthy since i installed ubuntu [00:21] erUSUL, works fine from a vm with NetworkManager, as soon as the NetworkManager is disabled and i'm using wicd, it's stopped working [00:21] im loving the OS [00:21] Infin1ty: once you get an ip averything is transparent. is the so called "net neutrality" [00:22] but i cant get mobile broadband working properly [00:22] erUSUL, so how do you explain this? [00:22] Hi, I was here earlier with the issue that my ubuntu went down and I was forced into grub 1.97 beta 4. My ubuntu won't load so I downloaded a clean version to a cd. Is there anyway I can repair my pre-existing version with the cd? [00:22] erUSUL: any idea what would cause xorg to take 70% up while doing nothing? [00:22] er, what does net neutrality mean? [00:22] Infin1ty: other internet apps work ? [00:22] Hi, having an issue with the installer, when it comes to partition my disks, it doesn't list the disk that I want to install onto [00:22] sigh [00:22] I have two disks 80GB (windows) and 200GB (old linux) [00:23] seanscot_: mobile broadband? you mean your broadband modem? WiFi card? [00:23] xguru: a bug ? some stray process? [00:23] erUSUL, yes..,, it's the network manager that i guess somehow integrated with ubuntuone [00:23] Infin1ty: you should file a bug against ubuntuone https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuone [00:23] princezuda you can mount your old partition running off the CD [00:23] erUSUL, perhaps it's the way it checks the internet connection [00:23] seanscot_: ah, I see :) [00:23] its a dongle [00:23] for 3G network [00:23] I can partition the 200GB drive with GParted, but the installer simply doesn't list it [00:23] pfred1 how do you do that? I'm kinda a newbie I've been at this for a month or so. [00:23] erUSUL: i'll do some home work on the issue [00:23] its a ZTE one [00:23] princezuda I had to do it a couple of times last nite messing up on a kernel build here [00:23] seanscot_: which brand is the card?

[00:24] Hello, I want to convert ext3 to ext4 on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic, I can't unmount my filesytem since it is inuse:S, and I dont want to format it ( long story ) any other way ? [00:24] Anyone know why that might be? [00:24] buzzomatic, then you have a problem [00:24] Tell me about it :P [00:24] i need to log into windows , connect then reboot just to use internet in ubuntu [00:24] buzzomatic, You need the specs of the drive [00:24] Black_Phantom: from liveCD ? [00:24] and naturally i cant keep that up very long [00:24] princezuda I know the slackware recovery floppy images just give you the command [00:24] abadabad00: #xbmc-linux [00:24] No when I try my dual boot into ubuntu I get the grub line which I didn't get until after I did software updates this morning. [00:25] seanscot_: let me check :) [00:25] erUSUL, I dont have the 9.04 and the 9.10 live cd, and its not possible to get them coz my dvd drive will never read them ( v. long story ) I only have the 8.04 LTS and 8.10 live cd [00:25] cheers [00:25] are we still getting bot floods?? [00:25] buzzomatic, there are unix utillities that can aquire disk information, but I am unamiliar with the format required for formatmagic [00:26] Black_Phantom: boot into recovery mode. try from there ? [00:26] erUSUL, i see [00:26] erUSUL does that mount your broken original root for you? [00:26] erUSUL, I will ! thanks for your reply [00:26] Younder, I have no idea myself. [00:26] buzzomatic, you might have to hand code a drive spec [00:26] hey younder: your familiar with my issue. I have a live cd of ubuntu which I'm running right now. How can I use it to make my other version of ubuntu to work? [00:26] seanscot_: http://blog.ufsoft.org/zte-mf622-usb-modem-under-linux [00:26] how do i mkae it so control + alt + l doesnt log out me out? [00:27] or lock my screen? [00:27] seanscot_: there're many posts about 3g usb dongles on the net :) [00:27] arooni system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts [00:28] alsa is instealled but it doesn't show up in /proc/asound/card1 [00:29] hello, i am looking for help installing unr on my netbook. i have a usb drive made and it gets to boot: so i hit enter (not sure what options i can pass there) and then it says "could not find ramdisk image" [00:29] any ideas? [00:30] buzzomatic, we are probaly talking about a perl scrip of some sort [00:30] buzzomatic, one you have to hand roll [00:30] buzzomatic, expect to spend a week figuring it out [00:30] :S [00:31] Can someone help me out? I have a live cd of ubuntu 9.10 and want to recover my old ubuntu with it but I don't know how. I also don't know what mounting and unmounting is. [00:31] My old ubuntu can't find any kernels after those darn updates. [00:31] princezuda: what did happen to your old ubuntu? [00:31] do any of you have difficulties with alsa after upgrading to the newest kernle? [00:32] knuthy: I did the update manager this morning, rebooted and bam I was in the grub line. I do not know much about linux. I know nothing about the grub line so I'm really lost. [00:33] Princezuda: well mountion and unmontin of drives is dome by mount and umount. It is mostly done by the automount deanond these days. [00:33] Princezuda: It mounts under /media/ [00:33] which error did you get when you booted from grub? [00:34] It just told me the grub version 1.97 beta 4. when I tell it to boot I get no kernel loaded, if that means anything. [00:34] Princezuda: basically mount takes a drive and prepared it for IO and makes sure the OS sees it [00:34] how do you check the md5 of a file? [00:34] or sha [00:34] sekyourbox: md5sum [00:34] k thanks [00:34] hi [00:34] quick question [00:35] what is the best way of installing ubuntu server if I only have usb access? [00:35] so alsa doesn't work with the new kernel or what? [00:35] there is software to convert iso to usb format, right? [00:35] Ripp_, don't [00:35] so in theory could I copy the disk.root file out of my old ubuntu and put it in a fresh installation that I can make with this cd? Would I lose any data? [00:35] knuthy, if soomeone was able to alter your file before you get it, wouldn't they be able to alter the md5 too [00:35] Younder: why not? [00:35] Ripp_, too slow [00:35] I don't have a cd drive on this machine [00:35] usb takes too long? [00:36] what options do I have? [00:36] sekyourbox: no no [00:36] sekyourbox, md5 is not so easy to alter, hashing is an irreversible operation [00:36] sekyourbox md5 does have some exploits but I don't believe they've ever been exploited. [00:36] are there anyone who experience with matlab [00:36] usser_, you can just re-hash the file and alter what you see on the webpage [00:36] If someone gave you a blowfish-encrypted string "base64-encoded" with a password of "whatever" ... how would you actually go about getting the data out of that file? [00:36] Ripp_, actually ro akward [00:36] hellyeah: yes [00:36] What is the question? [00:36] ro akward = what? [00:36] Ripp_, It was never intended to be installed in that way [00:36] Ripp_, [00:37] sekyourbox: if he has access to the webpage, and change the hash on it, then yes, [00:37] can i come to your query [00:37] Ripp_, except by backup [00:37] this is ubuntu channel [00:37] sekyourbox, not sure what you mean. if an ubuntu page is hacked and somebody put a different md5 on it you have got bigger problems [00:37] Younder: what bad thing will happen if I install via usb? [00:37] or just mitm what you see on the webpate [00:37] webpage* [00:37] i have a problem and i have to solve quickly [00:37] Ripp_, never tried [00:37] ok [00:37] nevermind [00:37] i'll figure it out [00:37] thanks tho [00:37] Ripp_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:37] Younder: Thank you. Excluding the hard drive bottleneck, and probably the CPU bottleneck as well. If I were to choose between a Radeon hd4650 and a BFG GeForce 7600GS 512MB AGP both, What card would you choose? I am inclined to the nvidia because their drivers for linux have worked out great for me. But I heard ati drivers have improved greatly. [00:37] princezuda: when you installed your first ubuntu, did you have a /home partition? [00:38] so technically, you should have someone else check it for you :D [00:38] sekyourbox: which file you're talking about? [00:38] the webpage that is [00:38] ldvx, I would go for the NVIDEA driver [00:38] Ripp_, [00:38] pls lok at your querty [00:38] ? [00:38] ah [00:38] ok [00:38] sekyourbox: basicly, if you trust the webpage content (the md5 they give you), then just compare the md5sum you get from your file with the one from the website [00:38] Younder: ok, thank you [00:38] thank you [00:39] knuthy, I under stand that part.. I'm thinking its more for checking to make sure it wasnt corrupt during the downlad, rather than preventing someone giving you a trojan or something... CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso [00:39] understand* [00:40] knuthy , sorry mate my door went [00:40] then just compare it with the md5 from CentOS' website [00:40] knuthy, if there is someone that is mitm me right now they can change what i see as the correct md5 on the site [00:41] ok so I'm trying to run an Aikido (programming language) compiler [00:41] sekyourbox: it's not that simple [00:41] knuthy, I'm not that paranoid, I'm just saying its not a security measure, its only there so I dont waste a dvd [00:41] i don't know why alsa doesn't work anymore =( it isn't listed on my system anymore =( [00:42] Hi I just downloaded ubuntu 9.10. I decided to do a fresh install rather than upgrade from the previous version. Now I can't access any restricted drivers. I need restricted drivers for my wireless and graphics card, but when I open the restricted drivers the list doesn't even populate, it worked fine with the last version of ubuntu. Any ideas how to fix it? [00:42] sekyourbox: md5sum the iso, and check the md5 from any website that offer CentOS iso download, the md5 is avaible on many websites [00:42] and I need to get gtk+1.2 and glib on my ubuntu [00:42] knuthy, its pretty simple if you own a router inbetween me and the website [00:42] and it's unique [00:42] sekyourbox: no one owns a router between you and the website... [00:43] when I try to configure the glib so that I can get gtk+ on it [00:43] it says that I need gettext [00:43] knuthy, I'm sure they do, but im not worried [00:43] only if the provider hates you , and wants you to download a fake iso... :) [00:43] I downloaded a version of gettext and when I get to the make stage in the terminal I'm getting some errors [00:43] i dislike karmic soo much and it is soo buggy and frustrating... i am going to lay down nwo and rest [00:44] does anyone here use icechat client? [00:44] can someone please help me I need to get this thing working asap [00:44] sp0`: actually it's bugs are minor and easelly fixed. [00:45] sp0`: so hang in there [00:45] RitterJager: pastebin the error output [00:45] sp0`: they have to do with configuration. [00:45] sp0`: in particular of Pyhon in automake [00:45] On Jaunty I found a setting that causes text displayed under icons to be truncated and capped with ... after a certain length. I *thought* it was compact, but I guess not. Having trouble finding the setting on Karmic. Anyone know what I'm talking about? [00:45] Ice Capades [00:46] woah! I can see my other ubuntu from the ubuntu I'm running... kinda I searched files and I can see the file it is in. Any ideas on what I can do? I really just need some data I have on there. I'm a rails programmer and I can't lose it! [00:46] I am running Ubuntu 9.04 64bit and using XBMC. Everything was working fine until I got a notification via Update Manager to update XBMC. I ran the update and now when I try to run XBMC I get the following message: "/usr/share/xbmc/xbmc.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libfaad.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I can't find libfaad.so.0 on my system (odd because XBMC was working just fine before the update) and [00:46] I don't know where to get that file for 64bit Ubuntu 9.04... Can anyone help? [00:46] I need to know exactly how to enter an install option at the end of the install options list [00:47] it's like parallel dimensions I can see windows, and my ubuntu that isn't working from an ubuntu cd. I just don't know how to recover my ubuntu data. [00:47] i made a script for school... and it works on the schools server via ssh. But it doesnt work on my pc... I get tons of "Invalid Argument:" statements. What could be wrong? My school uses ksh and i tried to execute it in ksh but that didnt work. [00:47] abadabad00: apt-get install libfaad0 [00:48] knuthy - its already installed [00:48] sp0`: a couple of variables that should have been set wern't [00:49] Ah, it was "use compact layout." It just does approximately nothing... [00:49] abadabad00: ls /usr/lib/libfaad* [00:49] abadabad00: results? [00:49] adante: "sudo aptitude purge libfaad0 && sudo aptitude install libfaad0" -- See if that works.

[00:52] It never did that on a newer computer, so I wasn't expecting it the first time it did on this one. Didn't think it cached that. [00:52] Honestly I just let Wubi do all the installing.

[00:59] princezuda: Accessories* :p [01:00] abadabad00: And you're using Jaunty, correct? [01:00] m3ga, as a standard ubuntu you user thre is NO root [01:00] yes [01:00] Younder: there is root [01:00] Younder: but it is locked [01:00] abadabad00: Ok, your sources.list looks ok [01:00] awesome [01:00] Younder: there's a root [01:00] abadabad00: I was worried that you had added some non-ubuntu sources and that's what caused your problem [01:00] thanks everyone!!!!!! [01:00] knuthy: I didn't feel comfortable posting that on the channel so I pmed you. [01:00] lstarnes, trick they learnd from windows XP [01:00] thank you so much for all the help! [01:01] PMED you the pastie. [01:01] lstarnes, it has no passwd but it does exist [01:01] Hey everyone, kind of new to this, but I just recently decided to start using Ubuntu 9.10 and have had a fairly easy time with it so far, but recently I kind of just ignored what upgrades were being installed and now ubuntu isnt loading at all. When I reboot it brings me to a Bash page, and basically it repeatedly tells me that theres no kernel loaded. Any ideas? [01:02] FlailingWalrus: try googling the error [01:03] lstarnes, lock the most critical files to protect users from themselves [01:04] did that work? [01:07] lstarnes: It's .thumbnails/{normal,large}/md5sum('file:///the/img/file').png [01:07] knuthy? [01:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/327250/ [01:08] what software on Ubuntu acts to stop phishing attempts or other adware attacks? [01:09] RitterJager: so you want to install gettext, right? [01:09] rodgerr, snort and spamassassin [01:09] RitterJager: why don't you just install it from synaptics? [01:09] Younder: i meant fs root (ie / ) not /root [01:10] rodgerr: Common sense goes a long way in combating those as well. [01:10] m3ga, doesn't matter [01:10] evening. I have a issue with the msi wind u100. the trackpad is not working. the pointer jumps to left down corner when touching it. I am running the newest ubuntu netbook remix. [01:10] I took the link they gave me to download it straight from the terminal [01:10] rodgerr, but thats more geared towards handling it at the network admin level, not so much a single desktop/workstation [01:10] m3ga, there is a root, and you cand acess it [01:11] m3ga, unless you 'sudo passwd root' [01:11] Younder: initramfs can't find the root filesystem (nothing to do with root user) [01:11] m3ga, which you probably shouldn't do [01:11] m3ga: do you have a /dev/md0? [01:12] Please don't teach people to create a root password. It isn't needed or necessary, nor is it supported. [01:12] knuthy: do you have a link were I can get it from synaptics? [01:12] I have tried google around for an hour but just met dead ends... [01:12] initramfs isn't starting it so no /dev/md0 [01:12] m3ga, why would there be a root file system? [01:12] http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html#TOCdownloading [01:12] Well - I have never had an occurrence on Windoz using Kaspersky but moving to Linux I am unsure how protected I am [01:12] Younder: / [01:12] RitterJager: just go System > Administration > Synaptics [01:12] m3ga, exactly [01:12] RitterJager: search for gettext, check it for install, and you're done [01:13] m3ga, but it is not CALLED root [01:13] knuthy: if i boot to a rescue usb stick the /dev/md0 device gets started. [01:13] but initramfs isn't starting it. [01:14] m3ga: hm, you mean that it's started on the usb stick install, and not on your normal install? [01:14] What program would I use to convert wav files to MP3 in Ubuntu [01:15] knuthy: yes [01:15] it won't let me install it [01:15] m3ga, Well If you can't even find / you are truly F**** [01:15] only remove it [01:15] Hey, anyone use Istanbul? [01:15] RitterJager: then it's installed [01:15] rodgerr, Audacity. [01:16] my sister wants to watch doctoroz videos from his website. they seem to be flash but i cant figure out how to watch them even using different web browsers. one of the videos is http://doctoroz.com/videos/100-lb-weight-loss [01:16] m3ga, reformat and reinstall. Iff the drive works [01:16] then why when I try to configure glib does it say I need it? [01:16] mac9416: thanks [01:16] Younder: please go away [01:16] m3ga: well actually I see that there's no initramfs on the /boot [01:16] m3ga: ah, initrd, [01:16] nonewmsgs: Do you need to click a button? [01:16] rodgerr, no prob. You may want to install ubuntu-restricted-extras to get all necessary codecs. [01:17] m3ga, I beg your pardon [01:17] m3ga, I am only laying down the options as I see them [01:17] Arsin, yeah i just need to click play [01:17] Younder: sorry, your suggestsions just weren't helping. [01:17] m3ga: btw, you have raid? [01:17] nonewmsgs: Compiz up and running? [01:17] Does anyone know how to use TestDisk well? [01:17] knuthy: yes, 3 * raid1 partitions [01:17] Arsin, i turned that off [01:18] they work fine on the usb stick [01:18] is there a own support channel for the netbook remix? === pi-rho|away is now known as pi-rho [01:18] any opinion out there as to the best digital media/dlna server out there?

[01:19] nonewmsgs: System>Prefs>Appearance>Visual E> None [01:19] m3ga: probably the kernel not compiled supporting it, but I don't think so ... [01:19] well the usb stick is debian stable, the machine itself is karmic [01:20] Hi [01:20] is someone there? [01:20] m3ga, I backup every 2 weeks so for me it isn't so costly [01:20] bbryant, did you install the -dev package? [01:20] I need some help [01:20] m3ga: it probably didn't detect your raid :s [01:20] anybody know why this script ( http://pastebin.com/f48724ab5 ) would only work on the server i access at school from home via ssh but not at my home computer [01:20] My wine version is 1.0.x. I cant install Windows XP, just Windows 7. Can I use this wine with Windows 7? How do I update wine? I use UBUNTU [01:20] !ask | Wofo [01:20] Wofo: 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. :-) [01:20] Arsin, i tried it again. what it looks like is it has an initial picture from the video. i click it and it turns black. visual effects was off i just tried to turn it off again [01:20] !ask [01:21] my update manager is showing adobe flash plugin greyed out any idea how to remove that [01:21] TheCheeze: there is no -dev version for the package, the -java package contains the .jar file [01:21] Wofo: Don't ask to ask. Just ask. [01:21] I even see the .jar file in /usr/share/java [01:21] but it still doesn't compile [01:21] * Snakes sits on sTephiE's lap. [01:21] bbryant, not sure then, sorry [01:21] * sTephiE is lost just looking at the names! [01:21] I attempted to change the sound file for incoming mail in thunderbird making it a wav file and I only get white noise. OS is Ubuntu latest version. Ubuntu recognizes wav file and plays it in movie player so what gives in thunderbird? Any ideas?? [01:22] The update manager told me to update, I did it without seeing what I was updating, then I rebooted and now it runs on console. I tried to start gdm but it didn't work [01:22] Oilut, Windows XP and Windows 7 is an operating system. Wine cannot be used to install an operating system [01:23] hmm what would cause .php files to download rather than be displayed in apache2 ? [01:23] also could it be file permissions ?

[01:39] rodgerr the problem I faced on that tutorial is that I do not have a /windows folder [01:39] andrean: trying to check, but i don't know the default behavior of when things change hover state - so it's hard to tell [01:39] bazhang thanks, i will [01:40] maco:failed to execute child process(compiz)..no such file [01:40] andrean: if i had some area that i knew for sure where things triggered, i'd be able to tell [01:40] Oilut, general wine help in #winehq [01:40] rafiq: i dont know whats up or how to fix regular ubuntu, sorry [01:40] how do i reset the sound card [01:41] ok do u kno command to install compiz/ [01:41] ahh dont whine arorond here do it at #hinehq [01:41] maxkelley, hi all, is there a command which tests in real time the presence of a new file into the disk, ....in order to avoid creating a cron job which runs every minute to make checkings ? [01:41] lol [01:42] andrean: yeah -.-; it's everywhere.. found a button that just confirmed it. takes 3 y pixels into the item before it triggers the border [01:42] rafiq, install ccsm compizconfig-settings-manager [01:42] bazhang, nice [01:42] mordof: well, you could look at something like hovering over desktop icons, which causes them to light up [01:42] j winehq [01:42] any idea why when i click on the "connect to hidden network" my profile is grayed out and I cannot click on connect? [01:42] When I boot the live cd, my screen keeps flashing, like it is trying to find the compatable displays [01:42] andrean: yep, that proves it too [01:42] andrean: it's my OS mouse [01:42] mordof, true, there are roundoff errors [01:43] Younder: roundoff errors? [01:43] did anyone read what I said? === james_ is now known as b1uebaron [01:43] Younder: my mouse is permanently offset by 1,3 [01:43] Snakes, that didn't work [01:43] m3ga: did the link help you? [01:43] b1uebaron: 32bit? [01:43] mordof, in window positioning [01:43] mordof: So maybe it is the configuration of the mouse driver in X.org? But I've never dealt with that stuff... [01:43] hey everyone [01:43] anyone know about an issue with the monitor not coming back on after suspend? [01:43] * psptech no one cares about me! [01:43] I know ubuntu are know about the problem but think it's only fixed on 32bit. [01:43] SnakDoc, 64 [01:43] ahh I see, you changed it all back? [01:43] knuthy: sorry no. i've done all of that stuff [01:44] Younder: window positioning? isn't it more likely that the mouse is offset by a bit than every single application in my entire OS is off? [01:44] no one? [01:44] That solution may work on 32bit otherwise you're gona have to wait for ubuntu to fix the problem - they know about it, it's just not fixed yet. [01:44] m3ga: he gets the md0 on at a certain point [01:44] now booting to a karmic server iso [01:44] bazhang:cud u please giv me the command [01:44] Younder: as well as desktop icons, and icons inside those windows [01:44] rafiq: Which command?

Perhaps you could help. What file (filename / location) contains my "passphrase" for my wireless connection WPA2 TKIP? [01:46] i'm using 9.04.. but i suppose since i downgraded X to get my fglrx driver installed and working properly, this probably applies [01:47] Younder: i have a single gpu environment. [01:47] Snakes, can you point me to a document about this issue? [01:47] Younder: this says it only happens with dual [01:47] mordof: it's your screen which is offset [01:48] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1307618&page=2 [01:48] knuthy: my screen... wouldn't that effect the mouse also? [01:48] what is the newest version of wine? [01:48] Ok stephie telling me off for all the geek talk - time for bed for me tae care all. [01:49] Latest stable dome? [01:49] I have just re-done my home network, and have an ubuntu server plugged into a switch which is plugged into my modem.... How can I get it an IP address? [01:49] mordof: the position of the mouse is correct, but if the screen is offset, you wont click on the right position [01:49] 1.0.1 I believe. [01:49] mordof: you can correct that in Xorg configuration [01:49] knuthy: ok. how would i go about checking/fixing that? [01:49] Ziber: no router? [01:49] snakes: command was successful but how to chek whther compiz installed? [01:49] knuthy: there's nothing in my xorg.conf, and i'm not sure how else to change it [01:50] knuthy: well, there is a very basic amount of info in my xorg.conf [01:50] mordof: there has been many problems with fglrx with a screen offset, you can find solutions on google :) [01:50] mac9416: got the following back - libmp3lame0 is already the newest version - when I click "help" in audacity it says "wma-proprietary" which obviously it is not a wma file. [01:50] maco: Well, I want to eliminate NAT on my ubuntu server for IPv6 reasons. [01:51] Ziber: how many IPs does your ISP allocate you? [01:51] 1. [01:51] knuthy: any chance you could point me in the right direction with a well-formatted google search? :o lol. if not i'll dig around for a bit myself, but i have a feeling you have a better idea of what to look for than i do [01:51] rodgerr, so that's the error you are getting when you try to import the .wav? [01:51] over dhcp. [01:51] Type ls rafiq it might appear there. [01:51] Ziber: ok then one of your machines gets an IP and the rest dont [01:51] mac9416: yes [01:52] Ziber: if you want more than one machine online at a time you either need to buy more IPs or use NAT [01:52] maco: But my router doesnt work with proto 41, ipv6. [01:52] Ziber: get a better router [01:53] hm [01:53] :/ [01:53] Ziber: this is pure networking hardware stuff, not an ubuntu question [01:53] maco: I didnt know where else to ask. [01:53] Hi.

[01:56] rodgerr, strange. :-/ [01:56] knuthy: that means i'd need to unlock xorg and reinstall radeon [01:56] knuthy: meanwhile uninstalling fglrx [01:56] mordof: just replace the "fglrx" by "radeon" or "radeonhd" (depending on your card) in your xorg.conf [01:56] mac9416:very! [01:56] knuthy: i don't have anything in xorg.conf [01:56] mordof: you don't need to uninstall fglrx [01:56] rodgerr, is it possible the file extension is wrong?

[02:48] maco : of course I removed === code is now known as sourcode === KiLaHuRtZ is now known as MeGaHuRtZ === sourcode is now known as sync === MeGaHuRtZ is now known as GiGaHuRtZ [02:48] I mean, the USB pen drive is not a System! it's just another CD installer [02:48] wolf23, well...i don't know whether the package you got can be trusted and whether it is the right one...etc === GiGaHuRtZ is now known as KiLaHuRtZ === sync is now known as code [02:49] louise: Its both. [02:49] I want it to be a Ubuntu system, so I can take it wherever I want and boot any PC with Ubuntu [02:49] louise, not seeing your issue; the usb key is also a live usb not just an installer [02:49] louise, you can [02:49] So people, would using lxde be noticeably faster than xfce? [02:49] declan2, try them [02:49] Are you sure??? [02:50] declan2, its different for different systems [02:50] freetown: yes maybe the packages not completely :( [02:50] louise, did you write it to be persistent or not [02:50] okay, now I download UNetbootin, should I reboot after download and installed?

[02:52] wolf23, sorry, not sure about native apps but you could try a Windows one under Wine [02:52] ChogyDan: thanks, I'll follow that [02:52] what is the support chanenl for jaunty? i want to downgrade... karmic is too buggy [02:52] HilBilly: /boot is on /dev/sda5 [02:52] this channel [02:52] freetown: nuh!!! wine not good :( [02:52] First, I can installed successfully with the out of box "USB startup disk creator" and probably can do it by UNetbootin [02:52] install virtualbox then xp on it [02:53] Hi, I need some help with using install options [02:53] any of you have broken alsa sound after the recent upgrade? [02:53] sda5 would be a logical partion ... don't think grub can see that. [02:53] RFXCasey, please give more details then just repeating that [02:53] it should be on a primary partition. [02:53] HilBilly: it's on sda [02:53] but I want to take this USB-pen to a cyber-cafe so I can boot one of the PCs with Ubuntu, because the Cyber-Cafe limit almost everything on their PCs [02:53] a hard drive only has four primary partitions. [02:54] louise: They do that for a reason, have you asked if its ok for you to boot a random OS? [02:54] Pricey : You don't understand!! They don't even allow you to use Firefox!! and Downloading file!! How's that? [02:54] louise: You shouldn't bypass their restrictions without getting permission is all. [02:54] then they have also locked the usb ports in bios [02:54] HilBilly, alifazel --root-directory specifies just that, the location of a root directory, so if your /boot is on sda5 you have to mount to say /mnt and install grub with grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda [02:55] That's why I want an Ubuntu-ready USB-pen [02:55] HilBilly, that will install to the mbr of sda with root partition being on sda5 [02:55] wolf23, huh? there are stuff that run fine under Wine [02:55] Pricey : Of course I have their permission to do so!! [02:56] Pricey : the clerk say I am free to go!!! So please, stop focus on anything other than "Run Ubuntu on USB-Pen" please [02:56] why does ubuntu install pulseaudio if you have alsa? [02:57] Ubuntu install options, what is the proper usage of irqpoll and do I have to move the -- to the end of the line [02:57] usser_: that's what I did in the first place [02:57] Pricey and Bazhang and freetown : Would you help me? [02:57] I've just come by to say...I f*cking love ubuntu O_O [02:58] came* [02:58] NickMcMillen, please no cursing [02:58] louise, sorry but i have not tried making a live usb key so i cannot help there [02:58] the current version of pulseaudio that karmic installs it completely DESTROYs aynthing related to any other audio device, right? that is its end to have a monopoloy because now my system's sound is broken even after removing that evil thign [02:58] What do you mean "Live" usb key? why is it LIvE? [02:58] freetown : What do you mean "Live" usb key? why is it LIvE? [02:59] louise, sorry, left out Ubuntu :P [02:59] louise: live means you don't have to install it to run [02:59] louise, that was what you wanted right? a working ubuntu on usb?

[03:01] bazhang: I tried that.... Didn't work [03:01] spO`, you have made your point [03:01] whats the terminal command to refresh the repositories? [03:02] louise: Don't click the "install" icon... and then it remains a "usb-ubuntu-system" [03:02] resno_: sudo apt-get update [03:02] bazhang: on booting, can't find kernel and get kicked to boot: prompt === emschwar is now known as Skif [03:02] Ubuntu install options, what is the proper usage of irqpoll and do I have to move the -- to the end of the line [03:02] how come reboot doesn't work all the time and sometimes i have to use shutdown -r now ? [03:02] Pricey : Really? then what should I click on? [03:02] louise, you can. if it is set to persistent. cybercafes in TW do NOT allow you to reboot their computers. [03:02] louise: if you've gotten far enough to be able to click on "install", then whatever youw ant to [03:03] don't they have cafes where you can just use your own lappy on wifi? [03:03] <_benwah> Hi, what open-source command-line tool exists to extract information from video & audio? I have tried "mplayer -identify" and avinfo but both aren't very good (or reliable, most of he time either bitrate or audio information isnt detected).

Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer 2. Install (Of course I won't install it to a CyberCafe's PC) 3. Check disk 4 Test Memory 5 Boot from first HDD [03:05] <_benwah> because I will need complex regex to extract that data... but I guess its the best solution [03:05] louise: choose 1 [03:05] Pricey : I did! [03:05] _benwah: Well, if it comes to that; a GUI for ffmpeg exists already too ;-) [03:05] deja vu [03:05] But it wouldn't allow you to install programs and download files, will it?? [03:06] louise: I've no idea what's on your usb disk [03:06] louise: it depends. [03:06] Pricey and bazhang : But it wouldn't allow you to install programs and download files, would it??

But the system just won't allow you to install any program and save any file [03:10] resno_: pick a different package to install?

[03:12] where would i see it in nautilus ? [03:12] coachz: I think you should be able to plug it in, and if it's not automatic maybe an fdisk -l to see where it is? [03:12] louise: hmmm...

[03:31] Wilabob: There's a little GUI tool that let's you download "3rd party drivers" I wouldn't know where it is in GNOME. [03:31] I have hdmi going to my tv from my ubuntu machine but there is no audio [03:31] i went into the sound controls and selected nvidia hdmi and turned everything all the way up and still nothing [03:32] I am running Ubuntu 9.10, on a dell inspiron 1525. I am trying to connect to a NexStar GX, via my wireless network. The EXHD is connected to the network via a Mac Router. When I goto Places->Network, I can see the name of the wireless harddrive, but opening it reveals no files, and I am not able to write to it. Also, when I connect directly to the hard drive via USB, I am able to read and write without problems. Does anyone have any ideas? [03:32] xjustyb11: no idea where it is? [03:32] anyone know why no ports on my ubuntu 9.10 installation would be opening or connectable? [03:33] how can i install the drivers for my "up to 512 ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 XT HyperMemory" on Linux ? [03:33] xjustyb11: is it under Administration > Hardware Drivers?

[03:35] Wilabob: Try this [03:35] did a recent update screw with mosue settings per chance ? [03:35] I've lost scrolling from my third mous ebutton : ( [03:35] in theory, 32 bit with PAE should recognize all four gigs [03:35] Wilabob: Open Synaptic and hit the reload button. [03:35] in firefox [03:36] and it's not firefox that si wrong, pressing both buttons to emulate it works [03:36] the actual limit on physical memory is 64G [03:36] shentino: what is pae? [03:36] it just the 3rd button seems to double click or something [03:36] and I can't figure out why [03:36] :-( [03:36] Wilabob: Then open that GUI thing for hardware drivers. [03:36] Physical Address Extension [03:37] it's a page table format that allows the CPU to access a 36-bit physical address insteado f just a 32-bit [03:37] so, you need PAE support if you have more than 4G physical address space [03:37] how do i install it? is it in the repos? [03:37] Wow. This IRC chat just freaked on me. I had to go and register my name and a ton of stuff. [03:37] binMonkey: Forget it. Just use a 64-bit Ubuntu, Flash is available on 64-bit and so is the Java Plugin. [03:38] Hey all, how can I decompress a .bin file? [03:38] I just need to get a file out of it. [03:38] i'm going to take a live cd with me to test stuff. is there a command to check the amount of memory the system recognizes? [03:39] Its a backup client install file for linux [03:39] xjustyb11: It says searching for drivers then opens and shows the broadcom b43legacy driver (b43-fwcutter) [03:40] Wilabob: Give it a shot.

I use a WUSB54G USB adapter and an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station with WPA2 security encryption.

Do you know how I can install the -11 version ? apt-get doesn't work [04:42] s/Firefishe// [04:44] ardchoille: Here's my sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/327342/ [04:46] Firefishe: That's actually not as much of a mess as you think [04:46] I have a odd one, I have a mass of user folders, and i wish to pull certien folders from there user folders, and all their stuff gets overlayed to a root folder, so as a example, /home/bob/work, memos, other, /home/jen/work, memos, other, | then put those 3 folders into /storage/work, memos, other, (the commas are sperate folders), how would i do this [04:46] Firefishe: see line 48 in that paste? Comment that line and do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [04:47] what am i dong wrong i am tryin to format and make a partition for my external hard drive but when i goto apply the changes it sayd error devise damaged or undetected [04:47] Overlaying everyones files [04:47] i know it sounds like a odd request [04:47] ardchoille: Line 48...k [04:47] Firefishe: the line with jaunty in it [04:47] I'm getting desperate here, tried poking HAL, xinput and even reconfigured xserver-xorg , but no matter hwat I try Ubuntu seems to have ( last night ) decided to use my 3rd mouse button as a double click of the first. It basically makes one of my mouse buttons unusable so I now have no middle click. :-( [04:48] this is what i get DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.NotFound: The given volume was not found [04:48] Firefishe: I would also comment the "proposed" and "backports" lines too, unless you know exactly what they mean [04:49] ardchoille: I've usually kept the backports and proposed lines uncommented. [04:49] ardchoille: However, for now, to stabilize the system, shall I comment them for the time being? [04:49] Firefishe: do you know what porposed and backports mean? [04:49] Firefishe: I would [04:49] I can't see my mouse listed in "xinput list" either , however it works just fine ( except I have no middle click ) [04:50] I've needed some functionality, and--by reading various online manuals of particular software--needed to uncomment both. However, with this Franken-System I have right now, who knows? *sigh* [04:51] Firefishe: the backports contain packages that aren't as tested as the main release stuff, and the proposed is even less so [04:55] Does anyone know how to (or if I even can) control which screen Karmic's gdm uses to display the login prompt on? I have a dual-monitor system, and my nvidia-settings work fine in gnome, but not before login. [04:55] does anyone use CoreQuad on ubuntu 64bit? how many cpus do you have in system monitor? [04:56] kbp: eight, because you have eight threads... [04:56] Hey guys, I followed the directions here, http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Ubuntu, installed it, but it doesn't show up in "sessions", even after a reboot [04:56] LabRaTz: I see. How about on 32bit? [04:57] kbp: the same, I'd imagine [04:57] I installed ubuntu 9.10, now i get a grub errorr, unknown filesystem [04:58] i have avant window nav installed and the past day or so when i click on firefox it wont start nore will nautilus but if i open opera in avant it will start rite up [04:58] how do I test the swap partition to see if its functioning properly? [04:58] LabRaTz: that's my problem. running Core 2 Duo on 32bit and just shows 2 instead of 4. While Dual Core on 64bits shows 4. [04:59] winchendonspring, hibernate [04:59] kbp: hmmm... not sure how to help with that one... [05:00] theboggey, I resized the swap partition from a live cd and now the system is strange [05:00] winchendonspring, how strange ?

[05:00] no wallpaper, no panel, no sound [05:01] winchendonspring, you didn't mess up anything in your home partition or root partition? [05:01] is anyone else having trouble with sound since the change to koala? [05:01] winchendonspring: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [05:02] TheBoggey: I may have. I can get into the not current kernel from the grub menu but not the newest [05:03] winchendonspring, well, I believe thats the problem... You really should be careful with this things.. are your files in home still alive? [05:03] Taim: I read that faq and it didn't pinpoint my errors [05:03] if so, I would recommend you to either spend more time here to see if somebody knows about your problem better than I do, or just reinstall ubuntu [05:04] if you shrunk the root partition you may have caused some critical damage to it.. may [05:04] winchendonspring: I see this now. I am a bit late to the conversation. [05:05] TheBoggey: my home folder is fine and everything seems to be running fine but ...

[05:07] thanks [05:07] does anyone know how to disable the progress bar on shut down? My graphics card messes it up when shutting down. [05:07] Problem: Just I just upgraded form 9.04 to 9.10 with the synaptic upgrade tool. I received some advice, and eliminated some non-functional sources.list entries. I present here two pastebins. The first is my current sources.list, and the second is the output result of doing upgrade and dist-upgrade. I'd appreciate any feedback available. Here are the pastebins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/327351 [05:07] crap [05:07] sorry [05:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/327352/ is the second [05:08] can i instally jaunty packages like mysql-server 5.0 in 9.10 ubuntu ? [05:08] Also, is there any way a person can downgrade a distro without doing a clean install? [05:09] Firefishe: nope [05:09] how do I see the UUID of my swap partition [05:09] Scunizi: I see. [05:09] that's the reason why I don;t use any none-LTS ubuntu version s :) [05:11] winchendonspring: try "sudo blkid" [05:11] winchendonspring: tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 [05:11] hi ... i tried to change my password and it didnt change ... but my default keyring password changed and now it asks me that everytime .. what do i do? [05:12] Okay, If I share a folder in Nautilus shouldn't it have a config section entered into the smb.conf file? [05:12] ghufran, did you also switch to automatically logging in? [05:13] ardchoille: Welcome back [05:13] winchendonspring, well, your thing doesn't seem to be fucked up.. [05:13] Firefishe: Thanks [05:13] try running things like gnome-panel and nautilus [05:13] Zykotick9: no [05:13] Firefishe: So, how did it go? [05:13] winchendonspring, or what the other guys said, they seem wiser about the matter [05:14] is there a way to return my network configurations back to install defaults? [05:14] winchendonspring TheBoggey LabRaTz: I like labrat's answer the best. [05:14] or some kind of checkpoint? [05:14] Zykotick9: i changed the password.. the popup says password changed.. on 9.1 [05:14] hi [05:14] Taim, seems ok to me, I don't nearly understand it haha [05:14] TheBoggey: yeah, I know there's probably something simple. [05:14] how do I put my laptop into suspend? is there an icon I can cilck? [05:14] I want to know, how do I force apps and games that are ran through wine to open there links in firefox(native linux) or firefox(wine) ? [05:15] oh, I see it lists partitions [05:15] hey guys what do you suggest for editor for , php , ajax,javascript and css coding? [05:15] ardchoille: Well, I'm hoping, fine. Here are two pastebins. The first is my current sources.list after I deleted three unnecessary lines. The second is the output of upgrade and dist-upgrade using apt. http://paste.ubuntu.com/327351/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/327352/ [05:15] right now I cannot open the terminal so im going to have to restart this pig [05:15] I use mcedit [05:15] ritesh, geany [05:15] what do you suggest...which is more popular. [05:15] Theboggery: thanks.. [05:15] ritesh: There are may different editors. Check them out and decide for yourself. I personally like vi or gedit. [05:15] ritesh: scream, bluefish, there are others [05:15] ritesh: I like KomodoEdit, but gedit is good for lightweight too. [05:16] hmm..well i just installed ubuntu for the first time..yesterday...been on a ride since yesterday.. [05:16] vista does sucks.!!! [05:16] ritesh: even gedit has options for color coding different scripting types [05:16] k. [05:16] ritesh, right on buddy! [05:16] Firefishe: It loks good to me [05:16] okay...thanks.. [05:16] ritesh, geany is pretty minimalistic and adapts wonderfully to the interface (as it is GTK) [05:16] theboggery: I would like to develop some applications if possible for ubuntu... [05:16] ardchoille: Is there any way to tell if it's a true Karmic install, and not a Franken-System? ;) [05:17] any documentation url.. [05:17] ritesh: it's a good ride.. large learning curve in the beginning and then levels.. at least until you find another "thing" to try/learn in linux [05:17] !tab | ritesh [05:17] ritesh: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:17] Firefishe: lsb_release -a <- that's all I can tell you [05:17] ritesh, thats nice indeed, with java? [05:17] ubottu, thanks.. [05:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks.. [05:17] hahahaha [05:18] ritesh, any project in mind? I might volunteer if the project is in C [05:18] Hey guys, I tried following the instructions here "https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/grub2/+bug/403408/comments/10" but the sudo update-grub command just says "error: cannot find a device for /". This this because im running off a livecd? [05:18] ritesh: ubottu is a bot.. kinda fun to watch when someone new suddenly discovers that... :) [05:18] TheBoggey, i am into python and php [05:18] ritesh, well, I like python too. Geany also supports python [05:18] !ot [05:18] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks!

[05:19] Scunizi, a bot lol [05:19] hope , i will get kindaa use to it.. [05:20] ummm, can anybody even see what im typing? [05:20] nope [05:20] Cyber_Akuma, yes we can.. [05:20] har har [05:20] i'm having a lot of trouble with my Radeon 7500 in Karmic but notice that my xorg is very generic [05:21] one more thing , which folder should i use to save files? [05:21] ritesh: any folder you want [05:21] any files ? [05:21] ritesh: it's not bad, especially if you are a coder. The only problem is getting used to the fact that large amounts of help won't make much sense for a while, and that much of the system isn't really "discoverable" like Windows purports to be. [05:21] can someone say my name so I can see if my highlights are working [05:21] is there some automatic way to update xorg? [05:21] ritesh: /home// [05:21] RFXCasey owe me some money. [05:21] !evolution [05:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about evolution [05:21] ardchoille: Apparently, it's Karmic (crosses fins) [05:21] no love [05:21] !evolution-mail [05:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about evolution-mail [05:22] LabRaTz, , okay well i usually have a habbit of creating a backup , as i have chunks of code ...if they are lost i am doomed.. [05:22] Firefishe: I think the system is fine now. But don't hesitate to ask if you have doubts [05:22] RFXCasey: Here's your test line :-) [05:22] <_ged> hi, why is that when im trying to run the gedit on terminal, i got an error "gtk warning: cannot open display" [05:22] _ged: Because you're sshing in or something? [05:23] one more time please [05:23] ritesh: code doesn't take a lot of space.. have it sync with one.ubuntu.com .. 2 gigs free and syncing is built into the latest ubuntu release.. [05:23] Hey anyone know how to fix this little settings problem in evolution... Basically i have 5 websites each with some emails and i wish to use evolution for mail, the problem being that all the mail is being dumped into the same folder rather than showing each individual email with its inbox/outbox/etc.. [05:23] ardchoille: Thanks. I'm going to go slower next time. Or perhaps save my home directory, then just do a new install and use ext4 next time. I dunno :P ;) [05:23] ritesh: meh, always a good habit no matter what. You get used to Linux, and the great thing is there's almost always a text file to edit and someone who can tell you how if it all hits the fan. [05:23] my name please one more time [05:23] RFXCasey, [05:23] RFXCasey: Yet another test. [05:23] RFXCasey: That's what she said. [05:23] ah it don't work oh well [05:24] hahaha [05:24] RFXCasey: Can you do this testing in another channel please? This is an Ubuntu support chanel. [05:24] <_ged> leaf-sheep: i'm just trying to execute a plain "sudo gedit" ... but i still got this error [05:24] !gksudo | _ged [05:24] _ged: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [05:24] _ged: That's common. It's a good way to debug. [05:25] ardchoille: I know this might be extreme, but what would happen if I delete my current sources.list (save it to a new file, but delete it otherwise), then use the repository tool to select a new mirror? What would that do? [05:25] <_ged> thanks. [05:25] ritesh, i recommend /home//Workspace/ the dirs Builds (stuff that you just build) Collaboration (Open projects) and Projects (own stuff) [05:25] Firefishe: No idea, I don't mess with the sources.list file after installing [05:25] ardchoille: No probs. Anyone? [05:26] Firefishe: I won't know where to look.. [05:26] *It [05:27] <_ged> ardchoille: gksudo produces that same error... :) [05:27] _ged: but you're now doing things the right way ;) [05:27] _ged: ALT+F2 and "gedit" --- No error! [05:28] _ged: And what error exactly? === manug is now known as manugg === manugg is now known as manug [05:31] TheBoggey, okay [05:32] <_ged> leaf-sheep: i'll try that right away.. this is the error "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: " [05:33] <_ged> leaf-sheep: thanks for the alt+f2 thing... it worked! [05:33] _ged: What does this return? echo $DISPLAY [05:34] _ged: No kidding. Why do you want to run it via terminal? Applications --> Accessories --> gedit Text Editor will work too. [05:34] hi, anyone knows how to setup roundcube on ubuntu correctly? i'm looking at different tutorials, but they're created for different environments... [05:34] can anyone tell me how to get back the configuration screens that configured a package with apt-get? [05:34] in particular i have a problem to login to web interface [05:35] Anyone know anything about manipulating Karmic's gdm settings? Got Twinview login with wrong monitor, even though everything is correct in gnome. [05:35] bluebaron: you mean synaptic? [05:35] is there a music streaming software in ubuntu ? for music over the network .. [05:35] w LabRaTz karmics "gdm" is terrible. and not much can tweak it.. only minor stuff [05:35] <_ged> ardchoille: there's no return... its just blank.. [05:36] _ged: Hence the error [05:36] Delvien: That's what I was afraid of... [05:36] i have shared songs on one pc and using the smb:// links doesnt really perform well .. [05:36] <_ged> leaf-sheep: ahm, because im trying to edit a file that has a permission... i think, its much easier to edit it through gedit on the terminal than to edit the permission first... [05:38] _ged: run this: export DISPLAY=:0. [05:38] _ged: you can make a launcher with the command gksudo "gnome-open %u" and drag the file to it [05:38] _ged: Then see if the error persists [05:38] Hey guys, just set-up the system indicator applet, and was wondering if there's a gconf setting I can play with, or some way of editing it; for instance I dislike the fact when I click logout it says "you will log out in 60 seconds" [05:38] helo guys [05:38] i need help [05:39] xiaoshen, ask your question [05:39] <_ged> wolfsong: i've the gksudo before and it produces the same error, [05:39] how to remote linux pc from win pc via internet [05:39] Hello, i am using evolution mail to read and respond to emails on my 5 different email accounts, however all messages are coming in to "On This Computer" which makes it really impossible to manage and determine who each message came from. How can i make it so each email account has its own folder in the left sidepane [05:39] <_ged> ardchoille: the gedit on terminal is already working.. thanks [05:39] Think I found it [05:39] if is on the same lan iknw i can use vnc [05:39] Hi. I am having trouble connecting to an external hard drive that is connected to a wireless router. My room mates have no problem connecting to it, and I can see it in "places->Network", but when I double click, I can't see any of the files that are stored on it, or write to it at all. But the thing is, when I plug the external hard drive into my machine via usb, I can read and write without any problems. I am using ubuntu 9.10, and i [05:39] t is a nexstar GX external hard drive. Anyone have any ideas? [05:40] bbq^: Try #gnome -- Ubuntu haul in gnome-evolution from GNOME environment. [05:40] but now i want remote linux pc from win pc via internet [05:40] howto do that? [05:40] thevor, can you connect to the drive with smb://hostname or smb://ipaddress in your file manager? (assuming you are using gnome) [05:41] thanks [05:41] xiaoshen, you want help with windows? how to remote from windows? [05:41] @linucks When I connect in places->network, the file name is smb://base-station-1.local/ (base-station-1 is the name of the device), but I'm not sure how to determine the ip address. [05:42] thevor, to find out the ip address open a terminal and type 'nnblookup base-station-1' [05:43] linucks, i don't think thats installed by default [05:43] @linucks nnblookup isn't a command for me. [05:43] nmblookup worked. [05:44] bazhang, yeah i wanna remote linux pc from win pc via internet [05:44] thevor, yeah sorry it's nmblookup, I typed that wrong. [05:44] Ok cool. [05:44] did you get the IP? [05:44] Gave me two different ips. [05:44] xiaoshen, this sounds like a question for ##windows [05:45] thevor, try smb://ip in your file manager first, with both of the ips, se we can determine if lookuping up the netbios name is the problem or not [05:45] so* [05:45] oh [05:45] sorry ^^" [05:46] Ihmm..where is file manager [05:46] Places>Computer [05:46] aka Nautilus [05:47] thevor, open your home folder [05:47] Both ips took me nowhere. [05:47] 0 files [05:47] (items) [05:48] thevor, are you on the same workgroup as the windows share? [05:48] I'm not sure. I think it is a mac share though. I moved in here, both the current residents have macs, and their dad set up the network, and it is a mac router. [05:49] Is there an easy way to determine what workgroup I am on? [05:49] thevor, yes /etc/samba/smb.conf lookfor 'workgroup = ...' [05:49] 有没有人阿 ？ [05:50] thevor, the first step would be to determine if you can mount the share with smbmount however, to see if it gives you a more verbose error.

[06:11] Hm, I have Vuze, I'll double check the settings [06:12] Die_Hard_Linux -> try X -configure :0 > xorg.conf.new === sshc_ is now known as sshc [06:13] Is anyone having xchat issues? [06:13] Or can anyone recommend a better replacement for gnome-xchat? [06:13] I will try it, wish me luck :( [06:13] acombas, Nope, Working fine [06:13] acombas: try the chatzilla [06:13] acombas: xchat [06:14] acombas: I just use Pidgin. Simple, but it does what I need. [06:14] acombas: gnome-xchat is NOT same as xchat [06:14] I should maybe try to set it up in empathy, yeah leaf-sheep I figured, but since I'm running gnome figured it would be better, but I'm trying to setup servers and channels to auto-join and it keeps crashing [06:15] Anyone have any ideas about connecting to an external hard drive via a mac router? [06:15] *wireless router. [06:15] acombas, irssi is a very good text-based irc client [06:15] !irc | acombas [06:15] acombas: 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 [06:16] nicle: lol [06:16] nicle: i dono, but i think groupdel command deleted all existing users / groups [06:17] nicle: try adding a new user :) and see what happens === g0d is now known as g0d|Linux [06:17] Hello? [06:17] hi [06:17] Hi [06:18] stonewash: u did groupdel? [06:18] nicle: i didn't dude [06:18] nicle: script did it did it did it [06:18] I'm trying to connect to an external hard drive via a mac router, and am unable to do it. In Places->Network I can see the device, but when I try to browse it, there is nothing to see, and I am unable to write to it. I have verified taht I am on the same workgroup as the other people in this house who can access it (MSHOME), and am able to connect to it when it is plugged into my machine via usb. [06:19] nicle: i just added a new least priveleiged user [06:19] so should I just do a fresh install to fix the bootup time problem? [06:19] nicle: rest happened by itself ................ [06:20] stonewash : .... [06:20] stonewash: cat /etc/group [06:20] stonewash: any group left? [06:20] test [06:21] nicle: it even tried to del root lol [06:21] Hey guys, I followed the directions here, http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Ubuntu, installed it, but it doesn't show up in "sessions", even after a reboot [06:22] nicle: that's simply ...... awesome [06:22] Can anyone help me with that? [06:22] i just installed 9.10 from alt installer. is there way to boot into safe graphix mode? [06:22] hello [06:22] stonewash: anything in /etc/group ? [06:23] nicle: lemme check. [06:23] I want to install pulseaudio from source, but to do that I need to first uninstall the pulseaudio package. However, a few packages depend on pulseaudio, most notably ubuntu-desktop. How can I install pulseaudio from source and get rid of the pulseaudio package without affecting the other packages? [06:24] @thom_logn: i dont have one..but u can use ubuntu remix [06:24] nicle: only root [06:25] where is the file that contains the list of directories that bash searches in to execute a command. The one that prints when I type: echo $PATH [06:25] nicle: is it a bug ? [06:25] hi all!! [06:25] nicle: is there any undo sort of thing ? [06:25] JPSman, ~/.bashrc [06:25] stonewash: not sure :( what's version of your ubuntu? [06:25] apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` fixed it [06:25] nicle: 9.10 [06:25] iKernel THank YOu :OD [06:25] np [06:25] so my instalation of wubi ubunto desided not to load anymore the other day :( [06:26] Jack87-wIRC, oh dear. perhaps you have some NTFS corruption. [06:26] Jack87-wIRC, maybe try running chkdisk in windows [06:26] Jack87-wIRC: maybe it was block by your firewall [06:26] iKernel: LOL [06:26] lol d3Lt40ne [06:26] gnuplexian, hmm [06:26] how to check /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default for errors? i got 2aliases inserted but neither works [06:27] iKernel: could be but I didn't get that error and for past month I've only bee using ubuntu [06:27] (yes, i already restarted apache) [06:27] stonewash: I will send you my group file [06:27] Jack87-wIRC, well ntfs corruption can happen at anytime and if you're using wubi, you needn't be on windows for it to happen [06:27] nicle: is it safe to use someone else's group fiel :) [06:28] which package contain the 'lrelease' tool? I believe it is associated with QT.. I need it for compiling Mumble [06:28] stonewash: and u can try to bootup ur box with my group [06:28] 1 === ring0 is now known as Guest45858 [06:28] stonewash: just have a try :) === homer is now known as Guest33665 [06:28] luckily most my data I saved in /host so no biggie. but I did attempt to uninstall wubi in hopes that it will still keep my data but no go. in the past wasn't there an option to uninstall and keep data? [06:29] Jack87-wIRC: ive experienced that with my comodo firewall from my windows system. it was block by anti-virus of comodo === slam_ is now known as grndslm [06:29] nicle: well thanks but i am not looking into that option [06:29] thanks for heads up d3Lt40ne [06:29] Jack87-wIRC: your welcome! [06:30] stonewash: all right :) [06:30] nicle: but thanks anyway ;) [06:30] iKernel: for future reference is there a way to uninstall wubi yet keep files intact? [06:31] Jack87-wIRC, yes, load up wubi, copy all files to DVD's, then uninstall. [06:31] Jack87-wIRC: back-up ur ubuntu first before u removed your wubi installation. [06:31] all files from host drive in ubuntu folder? [06:32] Jack87-wIRC, but you can't do that without being up to load it up. you definitely need to make regular backups if you want to use wubi. there might be a way to mount the virtual disk file while you're on another system but I forget === vorian_ is now known as vorian [06:32] iKernel hmm, this files doesn't have the directories that are listed in echo $PATH [06:32] hello [06:32] where is the file that contains the list of directories that bash searches in to execute a command. The one that prints when I type: echo $PATH ? [06:32] thanks iKernel [06:32] I have a laptop with a wireless ethernet adapter, and a usb connection, and a second machine with two usbs. I want to use the laptop as a dhcp/proxy server for the second machine [06:32] is there is any way to do this? [06:33] JPSman, well im not sure but you can definitely put a bunch of directories in ~/.bashrc for bash to search when you execute a command [06:33] i messed around with changing my username, etc, etc. and basically alot of things are wierd now, should I completely reinstall or is there a way to fix something like this? [06:33] weird* [06:33] iKernel: is it possible to have a larger virtual disk then 30gigs in wubi? [06:33] iKernel, yeah but i'm trying to remove one. I'll keep looking here [06:33] JPSman: Try checking in /etc/bash.bashrc -- I suppose. [06:34] Ripp_, you probably need a way to set up an ethernet connection between the two machines, either using a crossover cable or a hub/switch. [06:34] d3Lt40ne: have you found a way to have a larger virtual drive then 30gigs for wubi? [06:34] i've been trying to install ingres on ubuntu karmic, but gcc-3.4 has been removed. Should i add the package manually, or is there a more elegant method? [06:34] Jack87-wIRC, i have no idea [06:35] Ripp_, once you have that, then yes it is definitely possible. perhaps there is some device which gives you an ethernet card via USB [06:35] Jack87-wIRC: Save people's files and lives. Destroy Windows. Install Ubuntu. [06:35] iKernel: I have an regular ethernet cord.. [06:35] will this automatically act as a crossover? [06:35] Ripp_ no [06:35] leaf-sheep: Hrm, nope, not there either. Thanks for responding though :OD [06:35] hrm, i see [06:35] Jack87 dont destroy windows, ubuntu can mess up [06:35] Ripp_: newer devices can use a patch cable as a crossover [06:35] leaf-sheep: lol! [06:36] Patch cable = ? [06:36] dual booting is always the safest [06:36] regular ethernet cord = patch cable? [06:36] Ripp_: yes [06:36] i see [06:36] Ripp_ plus, in my experience, using a hub is MUCH more straightforward and flexible than using a corssover cable [06:36] yeah, these two machines are new [06:36] good call denis_k [06:36] ikernel: this is only for tonight, hehe [06:36] long term i'll have ethernet for both [06:37] So, I just installed ubuntu and apt-get can't find any of the packages I wish to install (vim and git-core)... it appears to be in the universe repo, which i have enabled. [06:37] but have to have the computer registed with the campus before that happens... [06:37] ubuntu like palm pre :) [06:37] Ripp_ ah well you'll have to wait then [06:37] hrm [06:37] that is surprising [06:37] im never gonna mess around with user id's in terminal ever again...... [06:37] err... main not universe! [06:37] there must be way to have this laptop act as a hub or whatever [06:37] lemme google i guess [06:37] Ripp_: How are you online? [06:37] This laptop has wireless internet access [06:37] it also has a NIC [06:37] wireless, thats a new concept [06:38] the other machine has purely ethernet [06:38] denis_k, not nessecairly true. in my opinion, the safest way to have multiple operating systems is to have a linux host running virtual machines. you need a pretty decent rig to get good performance out of the virtual machines though [06:38] Ripp_: What are you trying to accomplish? Bridging? [06:38] so i'd just like to connect my cord between the two [06:38] Bridging = what? [06:38] denis_k, either a rig which has AMD-v support or Intel-VT support [06:38] iKernel: im on a netbook, so dual booting is a must [06:38] I'd like to access the internet through the wireless adapter on the laptop [06:38] so i guess i need to have the laptop act as a proxy [06:38] or hub [06:38] !ics [06:38] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [06:38] iKernel: can you help me with a user problem? [06:39] oh hay, nevermind. I just needed to refresh my repo data :| [06:39] hey all [06:39] i'm just wondering if there is software i need to do this [06:39] Ah [06:39] Sweet [06:39] Ripp_: You want your computer to leech connection out of the laptop is what I mean... Bridge! [06:39] anyon in here have an ati graphics card [06:39] Ripp_ I once tried to do what you're trying to do, years ago. you need to bridge the wireless adaptor and the ethernet adaptor [06:39] Ripp_: Is that what you wanted? [06:39] denis_k, if you like, what is the problem. [06:39] I think so [06:39] thanks guys [06:39] !anyone | jimbeam12 [06:39] jimbeam12: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [06:39] I just have never heard the term bridge before, hehe [06:39] Firestarter is just a firewall, isn't it? [06:39] Ripp_ go talk to n0yd, he told me how to set up bridging on a linux system back when I was trying to do it [06:39] Ripp_: bridging is combining two network interfaces, not really what you want methinks. [06:40] Ripp_: I accomplished this once or twice XXX weeks ago. You want bridge-utils. Then you create a new profile in nm-applet (Network Manager). [06:40] iKernel: i tried changing my previous username and changed it via root and now stuff got messed up, and I can't see users in system>admin>users/groups [06:40] ok [06:40] Ripp_ or for a small price I can send you a wireless adaptor which plugs into your ethernet port and provides you with a wireless connection [06:40] i'll read the article ubuttu sent me, and go for there [06:40] Ikernel; like i said, this is super temporary [06:40] 12 hrs max [06:41] bigfootbuilt: yep [06:41] denis_k, ok well in that case, you've probably changed your username but haven't updated the permissions, so if you used to be called john but now are called jack, all your files still belong to john so you can't access them as jack [06:41] X -configure :0 . xorg.conf.new : command did not work correctly [06:41] why is ubuntu slow on bootups? [06:41] denis_k, so what you're gonna need to do is log in as root and use chown to set the permissions straight [06:41] iKernel: but that would only happen if he changed his user id [06:41] 9.10 is slower than windows vista now === F[hOHXXq is now known as LjL-Temp [06:42] that is sad :( [06:42] syrius: That is obviously just you. :\ [06:42] no [06:42] iKernel: well I can still access my files from my old username from my new one, but I still can't see the list of users [06:42] many other people also you should check the bugs [06:42] denis_k, hm not sure then, try tlaking to Billiard [06:42] iKernel: or is that not the point [06:42] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/464369 [06:42] I have lost hope in linux [06:42] syrius...It is slower than 9.04 on bootup. I think it is because of the splash screen [06:42] I most go back to xp [06:42] * denis_k pokes billiard [06:43] denis_k: you can see the list of users in the gui ? [06:43] cant* [06:43] syrius, bottom line is, your computer is slow. A large difference between Linux and Windows is that linux distributions load up system programs during boot up, while windows loads up the bare essentials required to be able to log in and then loads everything else up once the user has logged in [06:43] Syrius...there may be a way to skip the splash screen. Maybe that'll allow it to boot faster? I dunno [06:43] billiard, yeah I can't see them, either on the old(name changed) account, or the new one (admin account) [06:43] But I disagree that it is slower than XP [06:43] Xp takes 3 or 4 times as long to boot everything [06:44] I know how to get it to remove the splash screen [06:44] denis_k: you logged out and in after changing your name? [06:44] in grub [06:44] syrius, this equates to higher performance in linux systems cause with windows, everything is loading up while a GUI is running, while with linux, you just have the virtual terminal and maybe a splash screen [06:44] iKernel then why is it that 9.04 only took 30 seconds? [06:44] So the display doesnt work and there is just a black screen on start up of the gui the keyboard is unresponsive [06:44] Billiard yes, I logged out/and in, restarted, and I still have the same problem [06:45] !minimal | syrius [06:45] syrius: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [06:45] billiard: it showed up at one point, but now it doesn't again, it might if I reboot again [06:45] syrius, your crappy intel celeron processor broke while you were installing ubuntu karmic koala [06:45] syrius: Install essential packages and build your way up. [06:45] I don't use intel [06:45] I use amd [06:45] denis_k: you can login with your new name though? [06:45] leaf-sheep, oh god I hate building packages, thats so addicting [06:45] billiard: yes [06:46] is there a way I can fix my display without booting through the drive? [06:46] billiard: but my wifi is completely broke now (it used to be half-broke/was choking and cutting out alot) [06:46] syrius, i guess there are more programs which load during start up in 9.10 than 9.04, or maybe one of the programs is buggy and takes a long time to sort itself out [06:46] denis_k: did you change any of your groups? [06:46] syrius, for me, it doesn't take much time at all [06:46] I like linux since it is more stable, but I do know that CPU runs hotter on AMD with Ubuntu. Not sure why, but others have said as much. I have AMD [06:46] it takes 2 mins to load :( [06:47] denis_k: run the groups command [06:47] Billard, yeah on the old one, i believe [06:47] why is ubuntu always giving me problems? [06:47] I have no 3d enabled also I have disabled many features that make it slow and yet it is still slow [06:47] If it takes 2 minutes to load, it is not an Ubuntu problem. That is hardware [06:47] :( [06:47] syrius, if you don't like ubuntu, then that is the beauty of linux: you can use whatever you want. Use a different distribution if you don't like ubuntu, for example slackware [06:47] billiard: groups: root -- lol [06:47] how is it hardware? [06:48] syrius, slow hardware=slow boot times [06:48] denis_k: uou are logged in as root? [06:48] then why didn't it take long with 9.04 iKernel [06:48] billiard: im logged in as 'denis' and its an adminstrator account [06:48] cut the crap man [06:48] dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xorg, is there a simple sub for this command in the 9.04 distro? [06:48] ubuntu 9.10 sucks [06:48] denis_k: you shouldnt be a member of the root group [06:48] I have an old HP laptop, and it doesn't take a minute to load [06:48] I don't like slackware [06:48] too much work [06:48] whats easiest way to find port my mouse is on [06:48] billiard my old account used to be named that but now Im using a different home folder name [06:49] syrius, then use suse [06:49] denis_k: your old accound was named root? [06:49] no way [06:49] denis_k: what? [06:49] suse is even slower [06:49] syrius, or maybe fedora core [06:49] Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:c517 Logitech, Inc. LX710 Cordless Desktop Laser [06:49] Use unix [06:49] I don't like rpms iKernel [06:49] I think I will just install xp instead [06:49] syrius, hey there's an idea, sneak into a HP building, still a copy of HP-UX and install that [06:49] steal* === APERSON is now known as aperson [06:50] What is the name of that OS that fits on a 1.44 floppy disk? [06:50] billiard: no - my old account used to be named 'account 1' then I changed it to 'account 2' and then got the gui problem so a new account named 'account 1' with a different home folder name since 'account 2' didn't change the home folder name [06:50] bigfootbuilt, DOS? [06:50] No [06:50] billiard *I made a new account [06:50] It is not microsoft based [06:50] my computer is not that ancient [06:51] bigfootbuilt, im not sure but Damn Small Linux easily fits on a 2gb thumb drive [06:51] denis_k: your users seem to be a mess, you shouldnt have a user a member of the root group [06:51] Hi to all [06:51] I think it is linux based, I wish I can remember what it is. [06:51] my computer will be 5 years old in 2010 [06:51] Hi to luckymurali [06:51] it is 1.6 ghz 1g ram 38 gb hard drive laptop [06:52] syrius: Debian! [06:52] I want to give permission for apache to a particular user [06:52] how can i make that [06:52] Debian 3d doesn't work [06:52] please help me [06:52] billiard: brb [06:52] luckymurali: permission for what? [06:52] all linuxes I have problems [06:52] In Debian 3d doesn't work [06:52] Billiard , to start and stop apache server [06:52] maybe I should build a new computer [06:53] syrius: ArchLinux! [06:53] syrius: Gentoo! [06:53] I don't like source based distros [06:53] hey what the hell [06:53] luckymurali: the easiest way i can think of would be to add a line in the sudoers file so that user can sudo service apache start and stop [06:53] archlinux is only available for x64 as far as I know [06:53] syrius: Use !minimal and install binaries as you go.. That way, it'll be what you want -- no xplash, no usplash, etc. [06:53] not all apps work with x64 [06:53] how do I cd to a folder I have mounted via ftp? [06:54] why should I leaf-sheep ? [06:54] but i dont want that user as sudoers [06:54] [mounted through nautilus] [06:54] KnifeySpooney: how did you mount it? [06:54] I found it! The OS that fits on a floppy disk is called QNX 4 RTOS. and supposedly works nicely. [06:54] Billiard: Nautilus [06:54] KnifeySpooney: ok its probably in ~/.gvfs [06:54] why do I have to do a fresh install every time I use ubuntu? [06:54] I want to upgrade [06:54] that is crap [06:54] waste of time [06:54] it should upgrade with no problems [06:54] syrius: fresh install is faster i think [06:54] Syrius...It sounds like you have made up your mind. Not sure what else there is to say [06:55] syrius: It is not a fresh installation. When you install Ubuntu, you didn't install Ubuntu, you install a series of packages tailored up for everyday usage. Take a look. "aptitude show ubuntu-desktop" and see what packages are installed... Now think dependencies too. [06:55] yes but windows annoys me also [06:55] syrius: you don't have to fresh install, but it's recommended if you want to avoid any unfortunate problems [06:55] how to fix error not such disk with grub-pc ? [06:55] I'm installing Ubuntu server 9.1 on a machine with 1GB RAM, what would be an appropriate amount of swap memory? [06:55] I make follow all guie and tut I gooogle [06:55] :( [06:56] I'm using the machine as a LAMP and subversion server [06:56] !grub > m3onh0x84_ [06:56] m3onh0x84_, please see my private message [06:56] xserver help [06:57] Syrius: Well if you ever figure out this boot problem, insall Wine on Ubuntu and you can still run alot of windows programs with it [06:57] I'm installing Ubuntu server 9.1 on a machine with 1GB RAM, what would be an appropriate amount of swap memory? I'm using the machine as a LAMP and subversion server [06:57] Billiard, any other suggestions??? [06:57] luckymurali: for what? [06:57] Billiard: when I turn on my wifi now, I get a black screen with a xterm cursor, and caps lock blinks and freezes up [06:58] Billiard: groups: root adm dialout fax cdrom tape audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin netdev admin sambashare [06:58] avishek: I don't know about a server, but I'm running desktop with 1gb ram and I do fine with ~600mb swap [06:58] giving access to only apache server [06:59] ubuntu should but all its money to make an all in one application for professional photographers one that can handle raw images fine and hdr... also an image viewer that can handle it and f spot to be able to edit them. once you get the artists to switch to ubuntu from mac then you will get lots of money frrom support from these guys also make it very similar to photoshop and professional tools or have an option in the program to change it more like [06:59] it. because most of them don't have the time or don't want to learn a new program to do business with clients [06:59] avishek: id do like a 1GB swap and set the swappiness low [06:59] hi, why cant I record in sound recorder? I tried all possible settings in system>settings?sound capture..... [06:59] KnifeySpooney: thank you, but isn't there some rule of thumb about swap being 2X physical RAM? [06:59] a program that has all the features of photoshop cs2 [07:00] you don't need all that 3d editing crap [07:00] when I set capture to test, i can record a test sound... [07:00] avishek: thats an old rule [07:00] Syrius: Did you check to see if Wine will run Photoshop? [07:00] like with photoshop cd4 [07:00] and this computer can record in windows [07:00] sure it can bigfootbuilt [07:00] syrius: gimp can do much that photoshop can [07:00] amigojapan: hi [07:00] Billiard: thank you! then I'll settle for 512MB [07:00] but it runs with problems [07:00] yes I know that Billiard [07:00] hi indus [07:00] amigojapan: the record from input is pointed to proper device? [07:01] billiard: groups: root adm dialout fax cdrom tape audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin netdev admin sambashare [07:01] I was curious about that myself. I am into digital photography and just switched to linux a month ago [07:01] need some help getting this xserver fixed [07:01] avishek: I suppose, but I hardly ever see any swap usage when I'm doing daily browsing on Firefox or editing images with GIMP. I haven't run a server before so I'm not sure if those would require more swap [07:01] denis_k: i have no idea with the wifi prob, you shouldnt be in the root group [07:01] but it doesn't do hdr or handle the full potential of raw images like photoshop which is what professionals need === [1]sassyn is now known as sassyn [07:01] syrius: gimp is free of cost [07:01] billiard: so you're saying I should reinstall? or is there away to wipe all the users now I start fresh without reinstalling? [07:01] indus: I dont see any option that says record from input [07:01] professionals don't use jpeg they use raw only non photo experts use jpeg [07:01] KnifeySpooney: I agree, my swap rarely leaves 0% usage [07:02] well jpeg is good after with raw [07:02] COmmand to do upgrade from 9.04 -> 9.10 from terminal? or tty, i know i can do it graphical but it freezes that way going to try from tty [07:02] amigojapan: hmm which version of ubuntu === kb is now known as Guest22797 [07:02] indus: 9.0.4 [07:02] Die_Hard_Linux: what is the prob [07:02] amigojapan: can i see a screenshot of the window [07:02] !paste | amigojapan [07:03] amigojapan: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [07:03] I messed up my gui [07:03] well tiff is better jpeg you lose some details [07:03] KnifeySpooney, Billiard, thank you for all your help. Time to start server installation! [07:03] i installed on a pc using a ati driver [07:03] denis_k: if wireless works correctly on the live cd, you could reinstall, you can delete the users without deleting their home dirs, but you can just change their groups [07:03] switched pc's [07:03] indus: which window? system>settings>sound? [07:03] and he display is black [07:03] amigojapan: no sound recorder [07:03] keybard not working [07:03] amigojapan: its in there [07:03] amigojapan: record from input === bryan is now known as daerid [07:04] Die_Hard_Linux: ctrl+alt+f1 can you login on a terminal?

[07:05] denis_k: ok np [07:05] daerid: i think thats just it being busy [07:06] daerid: afaik, synaptic can only do one thing at a time anyway [07:06] it never used to do that tho.. it's always been fairly snappy [07:06] happens whenever I refresh or anything [07:06] daerid: did you add a bunch of repos or something? [07:06] just the docky one [07:06] !gmip [07:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about gmip [07:07] !gimp [07:07] gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. [07:07] lemme kill it and see if it's a persistent thing [07:08] indus: http://imagebin.org/72894 [07:08] amigojapan: no not that , the application sound recorder [07:08] amigojapan: menu>applications>sound>sound recorder [07:08] amigojapan: you using that to record sound isnt it [07:09] seems fine now [07:09] daerid, it might have been the hard drive that was busy [07:09] amigojapan: did you try a backport of alsa drivers? That solved my mic problems (but mine is an internal mic/laptop) [07:09] indus: yes.. hold on, let me make a screenshot of that [07:10] that's probably it [07:10] denis_k: mine is a laptop too [07:10] I get blazing speed if I do one big hard drive operation at a time, otherwise it tends to thrash a lot [07:12] I have Nvidia 190.42 driver install for VDPAU support, but having to luck using it so far.. [07:12] indus: http://imagebin.org/72895 [07:12] amigojapan: try linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic, if you havent already. [07:13] amigojapan: hmm yeah seems like no capture [07:13] unless it's an older laptop, then it might not help [07:13] denis_k: thanx [07:13] amigojapan: whats output of uname -a [07:13] amigojapan: i guess* [07:13] amigojapan: you upgrade from jaunty to karmic?

[07:14] but I cant now, gotta go, thanx indus and denis_k [07:14] * denis_k laughs at my lameness [07:14] amigojapan: ok bye good day [07:14] amigojapan: konichiwa [07:15] no problem [07:15] leaf-sheep why can you choose minimal install when you upgrade to 9.04 to 9.10? [07:15] no fresh install [07:15] install from update manager [07:15] why can't* [07:15] syrius: There always are potential issues in upgrading. Why can't you do a fresh installation? [07:15] indus: konnichiwa is hello :) you mean sayonara [07:16] amigojapan: yeah sayo :) [07:16] * denis_k laughs [07:16] how can i make karmic look awesome [07:16] amigojapan: have anice day [07:16] ja ne [07:16] ben64: have you tried: gnome-look.org? [07:16] Ben64: Take a screenshot and show us what you have to offer. [07:16] Ben64: by doing special effects [07:16] hey all, if i created a program (specifically a game), and it had to write user data somewhere on the hardisk, where should I have the program write the data to..? [07:16] indus: i don't want the performance hit of compiz [07:17] hi, on every write action of a file i get a cifsXXXX backup file on my mounted fs, how can i deactivate this? [07:17] denis_k: didn't know about that site [07:17] http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/raw/396927/ thats my fstab entry [07:17] leaf-sheep: fresh install [07:17] Ben64: then use some gnome look themes [07:17] because then I have to reset all my settings leaf-sheep [07:17] that is really annoying to do [07:17] ben64: compiz doesn't really have a performance hit, and Im using a netbook :O [07:17] how about the loading screen, and login screen? [07:17] syrius: You should only need to back up your /home directory and /etc directory [07:17] then restore after bootup time [07:17] anyone programming python? [07:18] but wouldn't that cause problems? [07:18] Wow, it worked! [07:18] super easy [07:18] Ben64: login screen is called gdm screen , also available at gnome look [07:18] So_anyway: could try python irc channel [07:18] Ben64: gksu -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties [07:18] Trying to upgrade fresh install of jaunty to 9.10 but each time i do the upgrade from graphical the entire system ends up frozen mid-upgrade...could it be limited space on "/" ? [07:18] indus: not for karmic [07:18] leaf-sheep wouldn't miminal install cd take longer to install than rather install cd? [07:19] WasserDragoon: what u mean [07:19] indus: gdm themes won't work with karmic's gdm version [07:19] how to change menu timeout in grub2? [07:19] syrius: If you decide to go with minimal install cd, you'll be at terminal when you boot up. The rest is up to you to install what you want. gdm, pidgin, firefox-3.5, etc. [07:19] WasserDragoon: aah ok got it, all the new stuff [07:19] WasserDragoon: so what to do then [07:19] indus ;-) [07:19] hmm [07:19] anyone have a work around for dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [07:19] indus: i posted the comment above [07:19] sorry command [07:19] Die_Hard_Linux: what do you want to do? [07:20] Ben64, indus: gksu -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties [07:20] meh ill ask in the morn [07:20] sleepy [07:20] WasserDragoon: iam on 9.04 now, does it lauch some window? [07:20] indus: on karmic gdm is a user now and you just can change background, font, icons - no themes anymore :-( [07:20] WasserDragoon: i dont want to believe you [07:20] leaf-sheep I know how to use apt-get and to use terminal [07:20] Die_Hard_Linux: for nvidia graphics card? [07:21] Hey there, anyone know anything about Kernels not being loaded? [07:21] leaf-sheep so minimal install is easy for me then? [07:21] WasserDragoon: i think folks on gnome look will add karmic themes too [07:21] indus: wait i will search an article === usuario-master is now known as vo|d === geo_ is now known as geo05 [07:21] leaf-sheep how do you install with apt or is their other programs? [07:21] WasserDragoon: so are you saying the login screen is actually logged in as "gdm"? [07:21] indus: there are no more gdm themes for karmic / for new gdm version) [07:21] FlailingWalrus: you mean in the grub list or what? [07:21] Yes sir [07:21] syrius: ubuntu-minimal will be installed, yes, apt. [07:21] Ben64: yes i think so [07:21] * indus is shopping for a proc , amd x3 245 add to cart ? [07:22] FlailingWalrus: you isntalled the kernels via the package manager? [07:22] hey i installed ubuntu without a swap partition. is there anyway to add one once i already have it installed? [07:22] Billiard: Actually I just installed some updates and now I apparently dont have anything [07:22] syrius: You probably want gnome-core network-manager-gnome gnome-theme-ubuntu ubuntu-artwork gnome-power-manager for starters. [07:22] leaf-sheep is there a guide? [07:22] FlailingWalrus: your grub list contains no kernels? [07:23] Billiard: Yah whenever I try to force it to boot, or anything of that sort it tells me there are no loaded kernels [07:23] is there any way to add a swap partition once ubuntu has been already installed? [07:23] syrius: Not that I know of. There probably are many guides on "minimal ubuntu" I'm looking at my .bash_history [07:23] FlailingWalrus: can you access the system from a live cd or another os? [07:23] leaf-sheep I have 1280x768 resolution how do I get the text to be smaller last time I tried this old way I use to do it in 7.04 it didn't work any more does that still happen leaf-sheep [07:24] in 9.10 [07:24] Optimus55: yes there is a way [07:24] indus: believe it :-) http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8311854 [07:24] Billiard: I dont have a copy with me, and Ive never actually tried to go in through vista. I could give it a try [07:24] the text is really big and ghetto looking [07:24] syrius: You need Hardware Drivers? [07:24] no open source ones work better for my gpu [07:24] Billiard: Also I noticed this is a common problem with nvidia cards. Anything up with that? [07:24] FlailingWalrus: eh, i meant a linux os, cant really do much from vista [07:25] my problem: on every write action of a file i get a cifsXXXX backup file on my mounted fs, how can i deactivate this? http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/raw/396927/ thats my fstab entry [07:25] syrius: You mean to change the resolution for TTYs and whatnot? [07:25] the 3d acceleration is really slow with the proprietary drivers [07:25] FlailingWalrus: i havent heard of this issue with nvidia cards, and i have no issues with my nvidia [07:25] how do you do that leaf-sheep ? [07:25] FlailingWalrus: Do you see menu entries [07:25] Billiard: Yah linux will not boot period. Unless Im missing something which I very well might. Im rather new at this [07:25] syrius: I'll look for it. This never worked on my laptop. I'm thinking it have to do something with having full system encryption. === SarahN is now known as irc [07:26] ubuntu uses full system encryption? === irc is now known as sarahn [07:26] Jordan_U: Menu entries... Im not entirely sure. Everything else seems to be working just fine. Like I said Im rather new to this and not all there [07:26] Billiard: i already have 4 primary partitions. can i use an extended to host my swap drive?? [07:27] Hi everybody, anybody knows how to get a laptop's wireless system to work with ubuntu (i'm newbi at ubuntu) [07:27] FlailingWalrus: First, what is the exact error that you get when you try to boot? Second, do you see a menu with entries for your kernels if you hold shift during boot? [07:27] Optimus55: i would recomend a swap file, but you are probably able to resize your partitions and move one to an extended partition and add a swap part [07:27] blah. I can't find any directory for programs to write user data in that don't require being root. [07:27] Optimus55: swapfile would be easier and probably about the same performance [07:27] sarahn: Have you tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? [07:28] Billiard: how do i create a swap file? === Zorg_ is now known as Zorg === lengend is now known as lengend|sleep [07:28] http://osdir.com/ml/linux.file-systems.cifs/2007-01/msg00002.html thats all i found to my problem but i don't understand it [07:28] Jordan_u: checking....

[07:28] Hey guys, I followed the directions here, http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Ubuntu, installed it, but it doesn't show up in "sessions", even after a reboot [07:28] Can anyone help me with that? [07:28] Jordan_U: The exact error that occurs is when I try to boot Ubuntu it takes me to a grubs page. When I then try to get it to boot it says there are no loaded kernels. I have not tried holding shift during boot though. Should I go try that and come back here? [07:28] jordan_u: Nope, no proprietary drivers are uses on this syste, [07:29] Optimus55: you want me to give you a guide, or you want me to tell you how? [07:29] Billiard: well link to a guide would be good enough. but i think i found one on the community forums. thanks man! [07:29] jordan_u: it can't even find the wireless [07:29] Optimus55: ok, you can just google add linux swap file ubuntu or anything and its pretty easy like 4/5 steps [07:29] Hello All...I've been reading up on apt, and would like to get a list of packages that were not part of my install. I think apt-cache is the way to go, but I haven't been able to fighre out a way to get a listing. Any help would be apprieciated.tia [07:30] Jordan_U: where in home? Documents? Seems invasive to me. [07:30] leaf-sheep well I know I won't want to install ubuntu-desktop cause that will install all of ubuntu 9.10 from the regular cd [07:30] Billiard: yep, thanks gonna do it now [07:30] syrius: Right. Install essential packages. === greezmun1ey is now known as greezmunkey [07:30] greezmunkey: software center would be the place to look [07:30] Zorg: Depends on what you are saving. Configuration files normally go in $HOME/.appname [07:31] so installing ubuntu-restricted-extras won't cause problems then leaf-sheep [07:31] well I will be install gnome [07:31] Jordan_U: ah, would that be invisible to file browser? [07:31] syrius: Even gnome-screensaver, software-center, and gnome-power-manager, tomboy, brasero, etc isn't on my system. I have to decide if I want them. :L) [07:32] Zorg: It would be hidden by default, yes ( any file that begins with "." is hidden ) [07:32] okay, i guess that makes sense then, thanks. [07:32] Zorg: ctrl+h will show hidden files in nautilus [07:32] Zorg: np [07:32] syrius: It shouldn't. Keep in mind it'll pull in some dependencies. I personally like to install manually. Flash, etc. No need for Java, etc. [07:32] Jeruvy, yes that works, but it also shows stuff that was part of the original install :( [07:32] hi i aint ran linux in years tried old versions of slackware redhat debian and tons then [07:32] I'll be back - needed elswhere.. [07:32] this is a nice distro [07:33] i always prefred gnomme over kde too [07:33] kde was a hog [07:33] leaf-sheep I have done that before but it didn't work in releases after 7.04 [07:33] that is the old way I use to do it [07:33] hi guys [07:33] I didn't know which to use, but I think I'm glad I use Gnome [07:33] hi [07:33] ive used both [07:33] but gnome is better imo [07:33] my ubuntu hangs while playin quake3 [07:33] no one can help me? [07:33] ooo now I see why leaf-sheep === Guest45858 is now known as ring0 [07:34] ubuntu uses grub 2 now [07:34] FlailingWalrus: Try holding shift during boot and when you get to the grub menu press "e" to see the menu entry, one thing you might try is removing the line that begins with "search" [07:34] I can't get the sound to work on my desktop PC, but everything works on this old laptop\ === dotechis is now known as proyebat [07:35] Jeruvy, thanks man, don't spin any clock cycles on it, I was just trying to learn apt better :) [07:35] ravic: does the game lock up or the entire system? can you get to a terminal ctrl+alt+f1 [07:36] Billiard, itslocks up system [07:36] ravic: is it overheating? [07:36] once hangs cannot access any alt+tab also [07:36] no its fine [07:36] upon restarting its all well [07:37] hangs after playing for 5-10 min on LAN [07:37] Billiard, I searched and tried the ways i know to give permission to a user who is not sudoer(admin) for apache restart [07:37] ravic: what gfx card ati / nvidia? [07:37] but I am not able to [07:37] hey all, vlc cannot read a new DVD ( new star trek movie ). Is there some new encryption type sent to vex us? [07:37] i have a similar problem:( [07:37] nvidia [07:37] luckymurali: ok lemme look at the sudoers file syntax one sec [07:38] luckymurali: You can give a user permission with sudoers to only run a single command as root ( like invoke-rc.d apache restart ) [07:38] Billiard, nvidia [07:38] skrite: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [07:38] Jordan_U: Hey yah wouldnt even let me do the hold shift thing. Took me straight to a GNU Grubs page [07:38] skrite: Also, I enjoyed the movie too. [07:38] ravic: installed the drivers from the package manager? [07:39] yeah [07:39] FlailingWalrus: Did it bring you to a shell that said "rescue"? [07:39] Jordan_U, bit explain pls [07:39] ravic: sorry idk [07:39] installed nvidia divers [07:39] how can i do that?? [07:39] ravic: Mine would freeze after a few minutes. Finally, I disconnected all USB devices until it quit locking up. Still haven't figured out which device it was, but it is a start. [07:39] Jordan_U: No it did not [07:40] syrius: The reason why I do this instead of ubuntu-desktop metapackage is because I have laptop and netboot. I'm always trying to get the best out of my systems. [07:40] luckymurali: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers [07:40] leaf-sheep, have not seen it yet !

[07:40] leaf-sheep, thought i had done all of this.. [07:40] Jordan_U: At the very top it explained that it was a GNU Grubs page that used basic bash! to get going [07:41] ravic: Just change your user's password [07:41] I also have laptop leaf-sheep [07:41] and netbook [07:41] skrite: I'm not sure. Oh I didn't watch it on my computer. I watch it on bigger TV. [07:41] Jordan_U, thanks [07:41] FlailingWalrus: Was there anything interactive at all or was it just a frozen screen? [07:41] luckymurali: np [07:41] skrite: But I'm able to read DVDS on my laptop after running those commands. [07:42] no help eh? [07:42] ok cool [07:42] thanks, working on it [07:42] kolab? hula? something else? (mta + imap + webmail + antispam) [07:42] Die_Hard_Linux: i think a few people tried to help, but you ignored them [07:42] Jordan_U: It was all pretty well interactive. I could attempt to boot still, though thats when I get the no loaded kernels thing, I could reboot and had a variety of options when I hit tab. [07:43] Does anyone know anything about the new graphic card config on jaunty? [07:43] Die_Hard_Linux: I asked you a question earlier to try to help you [07:43] FlailingWalrus: Ok, so there was a prompt like "grub>" ? [07:43] Die_Hard_Linux: yes i know something [07:44] Jordan_U Actually am reading something about that now, and I never tried that one [07:44] Jordan_U: Like if I did something like that it would load up a kernel - grub> kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 [07:45] on every write action of a file i get a cifsXXXX backup file on my mounted fs, how can i deactivate this? http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/raw/396927/ thats my fstab entry [07:45] !ask | Die_Hard_Linux [07:45] Die_Hard_Linux: 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).

[07:59] thank [07:59] thanks [07:59] is there any good minimal editor like gedit using syntax highlighting and line numbering? [08:00] Jordan_U,no [08:00] EHajri: i suggest you pull the ati driver out so you get a desktop then reinstall the driver after some research [08:00] ritesh: totem ? [08:00] Billiard, no [08:00] ActionParsnip laptop [08:00] i forgot to paste [08:00] luckymurali: ok [08:00] omkar: only the alternate cd can be used to upgrade to a new version so it says in the book of ubuntu [08:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/327445/ [08:00] ritesh: mplayer plays everything I throw at it, except dvd menus, for which I use vlc [08:00] sorry [08:00] oops old poster [08:00] %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [08:00] losha, vlc sounds good..

The error is shown there : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/152801/ . I just want to execute a python script to send me an email :( Thank you a lot for your help [08:02] ActionParsnip: you're lucky. All my clients are thick. Every last one of suckers... [08:02] is it the amdccclm something? [08:02] Jordan_U: Sorry to bother but I got the partitions listed out, what next? [08:02] hi. I'm using Evolution Mail in Ubuntu 9.04. Everytime I get an invitation to an iCal-Event and click on "Accept", Evolution simply quits. Is this a known bug? [08:02] Jordan_U, any clues for me?? [08:02] how to add default groups and users [08:03] luckymurali: does it work as is [08:03] Hi everyone I would like to install ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell XPS M1710 Centrino Duo T7600. Should I use the x86 or AMD64/Intel EM64T flavor? Appreciate your concern [08:03] steppenwolf: amd64 [08:03] EHajri: boot to recovery mode -> root console you can then remove the package which shows in: dpkg -l | grep fglrx [08:03] steppenwolf: how much ram you have? [08:03] thanks leaf-sheep [08:03] 3GB [08:04] Billiard, the command i tried to add [08:04] steppenwolf: id use 64bit [08:04] but no impact [08:04] ActionParsnip ok ty :) [08:04] luckymurali: Try this: "trainee ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d apache restart" [08:04] thnks Billiard [08:04] luckymurali: what command did you try and what was the error message? [08:04] shall i add at last line [08:04] steppenwolf: how much ram? [08:04] Billiard, no error message [08:04] 3G [08:05] luckymurali: im sure there was some type of error message [08:05] FlailingWalrus1: There was no partition labeled ext2? [08:05] luckymurali: what was the exact command you tried? [08:05] 3GB Action [08:05] i pasted it [08:05] I wrote a message few minutes ago, but with all these messages, nobody answered me. Thank you if you can help me solving my problem : [08:05] hi, I'm lost with documentation about configuration of my mail relay with ubuntu server. The error is shown there : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/152801/ . I just want to execute a python script to send me an email :( Thank you a lot for your help [08:05] Billiard,http://paste.ubuntu.com/327445/ [08:05] Jordan_U: My mistake... The first thing listed is not in the partition table is labeled as: Filesystem type ext2 [08:06] Jordan_U, shall i add it to last line of the file [08:06] FlailingWalrus1: If not then the reason you are getting a shell is because grub can't see the drive with /boot ( and thus your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ) [08:06] luckymurali: no, what command di you try to restart apache, which did not work [08:06] steppenwolf: you can use 32bit, it is a 64bit cpu but doesnt mean you have to use 64bit OS. For basic desktop use i'd say 32bit but if you like doing audio encoding and DVD creation then 64bit will definitely benefit you [08:06] luckymurali: Yes [08:06] Hi. In Hardy, Nautilus file properties for mounted removable media offered persistent mount options. In Karmic this appears to be gone. How can I achieve the same for a drive I want to be mounted only as readonly? [08:06] FlailingWalrus1: Ok, what device ( like "(hd0,1)" ) is that? [08:07] steppenwolf: also 32bit will keep you to how much ram you have now (unless you install te server kernel which has PAE built in) [08:07] ActionParsnip: There is actually a desktop PAE kernel now too ( linux-image-generic-pae ) [08:08] Jordan_U: No both partitions that are labeled as partitions are not the ext2 ones. The ext2 is listed above the listing as: Device loop0: Filesystem type ext2 [08:08] Jordan_U: wow cool [08:08] !info linux-image-generic-pae [08:08] linux-image-generic-pae (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.31.15.28 (karmic), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all) [08:08] Jordan_U: thanks for the heads up (mental note) [08:08] ActionParsnip: np [08:08] hi, I'm lost with documentation about configuration of my mail relay with ubuntu server. The error is shown there : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/152801/ . I just want to execute a python script to send me an email :( Thank you a lot for your help [08:09] Nobody could help me ? It's perhaps too boring for you ^^ [08:09] FlailingWalrus1: That is odd, do you see any output when you run "ls (loop0)/" ? [08:10] Fandekasp: if nobody can answer, they won't [08:10] Fandekasp: where did this python script come from [08:10] Billiard : from http://docs.python.org/library/email-examples.html, the last one [08:10] Jordan_U: It shows the Device loop0 stuff from before when I listed the partitions [08:11] Good evening. [08:11] hello... is this a place to get help with installing Ubuntu? [08:11] BringSallyUp: yes it is. [08:11] FlailingWalrus1: Did you include the "/" after the device? [08:11] hi SpaceGhost|AFK [08:11] ActionParsnip : yes you're right, but so many people write here that I supposed you perhaps didn't see my message . Sorry for the spam [08:11] Ok ActionParsnip so the 64 bit would make better use of the system right? [08:11] BringSallyUp. What's happening? [08:12] Fandekasp: try in an hour or so, different users etc [08:12] Jordan_U: Ah no. Now something much different came up. lost+found/ then a list of commands I think [08:12] steppenwolf: yes 64-bit would. [08:12] SpaceGhostC2C: good evening [08:12] steppenwolf: it will use your cpu to its fullest but if you intend to web browse, watch some movies and listen to some music its not really a benefit to you [08:12] SpaceGhostC2C: how to add/enable default root account [08:12] why? [08:12] steppenwolf: why what? [08:12] !noroot | stonewash [08:12] stonewash: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [08:12] stonewash: Well I'll give you the link. But it's not really something good to enable [08:13] I've downloaded and installed Ubuntu Server 9.10 .. everything seemed to go fine, but when the instalation finished and I rebooted, it says GRUB loading / error: no such partition / grub rescue> [08:13] FlailingWalrus1: Did you do a standard Ubuntu install? [08:13] why it wont benefit?} [08:13] SpaceGhostC2C: right now i am using root shell. [08:13] stonewash: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo [08:13] FlailingWalrus1: I assume that there are many files ending in .mod in that listing? [08:13] steppenwolf: 64bit programs use a bit more ram [08:13] (I have two drives - the one i installed on, plus a second drive with windows and a ubuntu desktop on a second partition) [08:13] Jordan_U, thanks its working [08:13] stonewash: Why are you using a root shell? Why not use sudo? It's more secure. [08:14] luckymurali: np [08:14] steppenwolf: well its so basic use that the benefits would be negligable [08:14] SpaceGhostC2C: but even this account has read only permission to /etc/groups and ... [08:14] shall i add 3 commands in the same line by using "," [08:14] ok [08:14] SpaceGhostC2C: /etc/group and /etc/gshadow files are cleared [08:14] Jordan_U: From what I was told - no. I loaded up Ubuntu on a flashdrive then did a install within windows thing if I remember correctly. And there are no .mod files at all [08:14] stonewash: Then you need to add the user to the sudoers. [08:14] stonewash: if you need root access, apply sudo to CLI commands and gksudo to X based commands [08:14] stonewash: use sudo gain gain root privlidges [08:14] thanks for your help!!} [08:14] ActionParsnip: He doesn't have sudoers access [08:15] FlailingWalrus1: Can you give me an examle of one of the files listed from "ls (loop0)/" ? [08:15] SpaceGhostC2C: it looks like system is locked [08:15] how can tell me ,how to install drscheme on ubuntu 9.10 [08:15] stonewash: as root, type this command and add your normal user to the sudoers. visudo [08:15] stonewash: what do you mean by locked? [08:16] Jordan_U: I can list as many as you want. Starts with / lost+found/ var/ host/ etc/ media/ cdrom bin/ boot/ dev/ [08:16] Is there an easy way to log all invocation of a particular binary (in this case, I want to know what flags hdparm is invoked with) ? [08:16] SpaceGhostC2C: thanks [08:16] has s/he been messing with the sudoers file and borked it?? [08:16] Billiard : Do you have an idea about my problem ? Else, I'll try later, no problem ^^ [08:16] SpaceGhostC2C: brb === PhantomLink is now known as PL|Snoozing [08:16] anybody help me please! [08:16] !ask | wanghong [08:16] wanghong: 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. :-) [08:16] oh wait, maybe I can just wrapper in binary in a script [08:16] colloguy: You can replace the binary with a script that logs the flags then passes them on to the real binary [08:17] Jordan_U: My thoughts exactly! [08:17] ok, thanks [08:17] FlailingWalrus1: Ok, try running "configfile (loop0)/boot/grub/grub.cfg" [08:17] Jordan_U: I think the only things that might be files would the several items at the very end that are: / vmlinuz initrd.img lib32/ initrd.img.old vmlinuz.old [08:17] !plesae |colluguy wanghong [08:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about plesae [08:17] !please | wanghong [08:17] wanghong: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [08:18] wanghong: what is your problem [08:18] Jordan_U: Sorry had my page static. And now I have alist of errors that read - Error: unknown command '/usr/share/fonts/tru' [08:18] colloguy: echo $0 "$@"; exec "${0}-real" "$@" [08:19] I installed Ubuntu Server 9.10 on first drive (2nd drive has Windows and Ubuntu desktop) - Everything seemed to go fine, but when the instalation finished and I rebooted, it says GRUB loading / error: no such partition / grub rescue> .... so... any ideas? [08:19] i just installed 9.10 from alt install cd and when it loads the screen freezes at login. i am unable to login. i was able to load livecd fine in safe graphics mode. ive tried to startx from prompt but i still get frozen screen. is there a way to boot in gui in safe graphics mode? [08:19] FlailingWalrus1: And you didn't see these errors when you first booted? [08:19] i just want to install a lisp develop environment [08:19] Jordan_U: <3 [08:19] i run two iptables commands as root, and iptables --list shows nothing. anyone know what the problem is ? [08:19] BringSallyUp. can you boot into the other windows or a bootcd of ubuntu? [08:19] I bought a card from nvidia, built on the chipset gt216. It has a sound device to HDA Sound. The latest version of alsa does not detect this sound device and I can not bring the sound to your TV. Is there a solution to this problem? [08:19] Jordan_U: No I did not. Also there appears to be several error: unknown command 'usr/share/fonts/typ' [08:19] wanghong: I'll look into what you need to do, give me a sec. [08:20] I can't get anywhere, SpaceGhost|AFK [08:20] R1cochet: do you get the login screen or does it fail before its shown? [08:20] FlailingWalrus1: Try pressing escape and if you are really lucky you will see the boot menu [08:20] Jordan_U: definitely just rebooted lol [08:20] Sabir: http://alsa.opensrc.org/.asoundrc [08:20] what you mean [08:21] i get the login screen but once i click on my name it gets weird artifacts then freezes [08:21] Sabir: run: lspci | grep -i audio [08:21] SpaceGhost|AFK ... I can put the CD in and boot that... I can "press f1 to enter setup"... but : other than that, GRUB never comes up so I can't select which operting system I want to boot [08:21] Jordan_U: After selecting Ubuntu from my available os' it brought me back to the GNU GRUB page [08:21] FlailingWalrus1: Ok, well boot again, tell me the outpur of "echo $prefix", then try configfile again [08:21] gonzoism: are you sure you even need a firewall? [08:21] Sabir: that tells you the sound chip, you can now websearch for guides [08:21] R1cochet: please tab complete my name at the start of sentences addressed to me === iKernel_ is now known as iKernel [08:21] FlailingWalrus1: Try pressing escape to see the menu entry commands [08:22] Can anybody tell how to find local hard disk and san device in Linux [08:22] wanghong: http://common-lisp.net/project/lispbox/ [08:22] ardchoille: yeah, i'm trying to set up masquerading for my Neo Freerunner. ;P [08:22] ActionParsnip sorry will do [08:22] FlailingWalrus1: Sorry, I meant "e" [08:22] ActionParsnip ß óæå äâà äíÿ ïûòàþñü íàéòè â ãóãëå ðåøåíèå äëÿ äàííîãî ÷èïà.

I cant find it under "add to panel" [08:22] Sabir: were you using the output from the command? [08:22] larswey: Notification area [08:22] Sabir: you need to get a sound card working?

[08:23] how do I install google earth on the latest ubuntu, [08:23] SpaceGhostC2C: no [08:23] Sabir: lets see what jeeves says [08:23] thanks Jordan_U :) [08:23] Jordan_U: Awesome. How bad?

[08:24] please help me [08:24] FlailingWalrus1: I don't think this will help because of a bug in the version of grub karmic uses but try running "prefix=(loop0)/boot/grub" then escape and try the menu entry again [08:24] stonewash: I know it sounds annoying, but try to burn the disk again, then reinstall. Sometimes it's simpler than working it out. If you'd like to work it out send me a PM. [08:24] ardchoille: I'm trying to run these two commands: iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE and iptables -D POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE [08:25] SpaceGhostC2C: tried to add a new least privileged user. and script deleted all groups [08:25] R1cochet: adduser new_user_name [08:25] I am trying to download the 64 bit version of Ubuntu 9.10 from Ubuntu.com but the download option is Desktop 9.10 (32 bit) [08:25] gonzoism: I'm well versed in iptables, I don't even run a firewall [08:25] hai can i have help with joomla installation [08:25] stonewash: I suggest for best use of your time, to reinstall ubuntu and if the problem persists, then come here. [08:25] Sabir: try: sudo cp /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base_old; gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [08:25] monk: what's happenning monk? [08:26] FlailingWalrus1: grub was looking on the wrong drive for its files ( modules and grub.cfg ), It can be fixed easily enough but I'm not sure how to keep it from going back to the bad $prefix on grub upgrades [08:26] Sabir: add this to the bottom of the file: options snd-hda-intel model=3stack [08:26] What opens a .bin file? [08:26] Sabir: make sure you press enter on the end of the line to end it, save the new file, reboot [08:26] SpaceGhostC2C, nothing much, just trying to get a webdev tool installed on my lappy [08:26] Jordan_U: Okay so I re-exited out put in the command. Didnt say anything so I exited and now Im back to the GNU GRUBS page [08:26] ActionParsnip: once i add new user should i normal boot and try that user or what? [08:26] imprint: just make the bin executable [08:27] imprint, binary file [08:27] FlailingWalrus1: Did you try Ubuntu menu entry again? [08:27] monk, did you try to download it and follow the online instructions on the site? What went wrong? [08:27] ardchoille: it isn't the firewall i'm wanting as much as the network address translation. I've been running commands like these for ten years. all of a sudden, it seems that iptables doesn't do anything.... i give the iptables command, get no error, and iptables --list shows no rules. [08:27] R1cochet: yes, to reboot run: sudo shutdown -r now [08:27] ActionParsnip At the moment I am not at the computer and I can not taste what you are saying. :( [08:27] R1cochet: then log in as the new user [08:27] ardchoille: kind of odd.... [08:27] Jordan_U: And if by that you mean selecting to use Ubuntu as my OS then yes [08:27] SpaceGhostC2C, yeah, i downloaded it and extracted the files to /var/www/localhost [08:27] ActionParsnip: ty will try [08:27] imprint, run this command replacing FILENAME with the name of the file [08:27] Sabir: well thats no use to anyone, give it a try when you can and see how you go [08:27] monk what shows up? [08:27] gonzoism: Oh, yeah, that is odd. Do you have a router that does NAT? [08:28] why does notify-osd reserve a space for the volume notification? [08:28] imprint: chmod +x FILENAME [08:28] SpaceGhostC2C, but when i goto http://http://localhost/joomla [08:28] FlailingWalrus1: Try running "insmod (loop0)/boot/grub/linux.mod" [08:28] SpaceGhostC2C, but when i goto http://localhost/localhost/joomla it tunes me to download a PHTML file [08:28] is it a bug? [08:28] ardchoille: yes [08:29] Jordan_U No file found [08:29] ardchoille: i've got a openwrt wireless router going at the other side of the house... [08:29] gonzoism: So why not just let your router do the NAT and you won't have to mess with a firewall? [08:29] monk: let me look into the installation of joomla. I'm sure this isn't really a ubuntu issue, but a joomla issue. [08:29] SpaceGhostC2C, plus i cannot edit the /ect/apache2/conf.d file even as root [08:29] OK, I'm gonna give this one more try. [08:29] I installed Ubuntu Server 9.10 on 1st drive and everything seemed to go fine. Problem came when the instalation finished and I rebooted - After the quick "loading" screen (where I can press F2 to enter setup), it says "GRUB loading", "error: no such partition", "grub rescue>" ... GRUB never comes up so I can't select which operting system I want to boot. All I can do is put the CD in and try to reinstall (I've done that twice). [08:29] SpaceGhostC2C, cool [08:29] hello? [08:29] FlailingWalrus1: Can you boot from a LiveCD or do you have a free flash drive? [08:29] BringSallyUp: boot to live cd and reinstall grub [08:29] ardchoille: because then I can't plug in my shiny new linux phone via usb and use the net over usb. [08:29] I have no idea what that means, I am just trying to install google earth [08:30] Jordan_U: Got neither on me. Im guessing a re-install is in order? [08:30] gonzoism: Ah, ok [08:30] ardchoille: it is one device i am trying to get to work. i'm sure that i want to be doing this.

[08:31] HELLO [08:31] imprint: I'm going to send you a pm. okay? [08:31] gonzoism: no idea, I don't know enough about it [08:31] BringSallyUp: ot used that, you can install grub from live CD desktop [08:31] !grub2 | BringSallyUp [08:31] BringSallyUp: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [08:31] thanks, oblu_ [08:31] obottu, rather [08:31] Jordan_U: Unfortunately no, unless I want to take apart my labtop. As soon as I get a copy of Linux on a cd or a flashdrive I should be able to fix it right? [08:31] BringSallyUp: did you MD5 test the ISO you used to make the server install disk? Did it pass CD verification [08:32] ardchoille: checking if i really needed was good. it's just that i really do need it. [08:32] FlailingWalrus1: Yes [08:32] ardchoille: thanks. [08:32] i didn't, ActionParsnip - I'll do that, thanks [08:32] BringSallyUp: np [08:32] What a huge differance! I scrapped my wubi install, and rebuilt my laptop from scratch. That dropped my cpu utilization, swap, etc dramatically! I thought it ran pretty well before, was I ever wrong. :) [08:32] i seem to be getting a crappy wireless connection on Karmic, whats up? [08:32] gonzoism: in your case, yeah, you need it. But I don't have sufficient knowledge to be able to help, sorry [08:32] greezmunkey: do you have a problem? [08:32] . [08:32] anyone know why iptables seems to be broken ? I give iptable commands and iptables --help and nothing works. [08:32] . [08:32] Ben64: howfar are you from the Access Point? [08:33] anyone know why iptables seems to be broken ? I give iptable commands and iptables --help shows nothing. [08:33] greezmunkey: wubi is garbage imho [08:33] SpaceGhostC2C: a room and hallway away [08:33] SpaceGhostC2C: but it worked fine on windows [08:33] FlailingWalrus1: Are you using lvm or anything interesting in the way of partitioning out of curiosity? [08:33] greezmunkey: nice to try but not a long term solution, its better to grab a small USB stick and install to that [08:33] SpaceGhostC2C, all is good, I asked a question earlier but I'll get to an answer on my own. [08:33] why does notify-osd reserve a space for the volume notification? does anyone know? is there a work-around? [08:33] Ben64, Did you use ubuntu to install the drivers are you using ndiswrapper [08:34] greezmunkey: are you sure? [08:34] SpaceGhostC2C: didn [08:34] 't have to do anything, "just worked" [08:34] kcj_1993, I was wondering the same thing [08:34] SpaceGhostC2C: worked fine on edgy eft too, btw [08:34] Jordan_U: Sorry was afk for a moment. And I do not believe so. I simply clicked the option to install Ubuntu within windows when prompted [08:34] ActionParsnip, I was reluctant to dump it, but you all in here kind of convinced me. All in all it took me about 3 hours to get back where I was, and I'm likin it.:) [08:34] g_ it's starting to bug me. [08:34] FlailingWalrus1: Oh no, was this a wubi installation ? [08:35] ubuntu is so "easy" until you want to do something advanced... the way they have a lot of configuration files and the way they do networking is so...... un-intuitive... [08:35] Jordan_U: Quite possibly [08:35] ActionParsnip: that did not work. i still get artifacts once i click on the users name in GDM [08:35] FlailingWalrus1: Not bad for you but it means that this was probably caused by a really stupid bug [08:35] g_: it's starting to bug me. [08:35] FlailingWalrus1: At least not any worse for you :) [08:35] R1cochet: ok so its the system , not the user [08:36] R1cochet: ok if you drop to command line log in then run: startx do you get a desktop [08:36] Jordan_U: Ah... So the idea then would be to now format this edition off of my computer and install ubuntu in a non-bad way? [08:36] does anyone know? [08:36] FlailingWalrus1: If you don't mind *please* file a bug about this and mark it as critical [08:37] ActionParsnip: yes but as soon as the panel loads i get same artifacts and the screen freezes [08:37] Jordan_U: Got a link where to file it? [08:37] !bugs | FlailingWalrus1 [08:37] FlailingWalrus1: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [08:37] R1cochet: ok when it freezes, can you use ALT + K + PrintScreen to restart X and get control back? [08:37] what does the ro option in the menu.lst do? [08:37] syrius: read only [08:38] hmm [08:38] ubuntu-bbug [08:38] ubuntu-bug [08:38] ActionParsnip: i also couldnt find xorg.conf in /etc/X11 [08:38] Anyone? [08:38] R1cochet: karmic (annoyingly) doesn't have one [08:38] FlailingWalrus1: Wubi is supposed to be safe but if my hunch is right then an update to grub replaced the windows bootloader, which is really bad ( because it get's people to the state where like you they can't boot ubuntu AND their previously working windows install is ( temporarily ) toast as well [08:39] Example Screenshot --> http://tinyurl.com/yj8jaw3 --> You see those Emblems-On-Icons for Documents, Music, Pictures, etc. Does anybody know what package is that? [08:39] R1cochet: but does restarting te X server get you control of the system? [08:39] ActionParsnip: once i restart x what should i do from there? [08:39] Jordan_U: Im gonna format the hell out of this then [08:39] Could anyone give me an indication of how to fix this error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/327467/ [08:39] ActionParsnip: havent tried yet, i have to boot into winblows to get online [08:39] FlailingWalrus1: Please don't if you can file a bug about it first [08:40] FlailingWalrus1: It's actually easy to get back both windows and Ubuntu, but the point of Wubi is that no matter what you do in Ubuntu it shouldn't prevent Windows from working [08:40] Jordan_U: Joy. Ok then so let me get this all straightened out then. Ill report it, but the whole typing in ubuntu-bugs needs to be typed into the grubs thing right? [08:41] man n/join #ubuntu-unanswered [08:41] woops :P [08:41] FlailingWalrus1: You will have to file the bug report manually since you can only use ubuntu-bug when you are booted [08:41] hello people. [08:42] Jordan_U: Ahh... Right then so post it on the Ubuntu forums or something? [08:42] I have a question : is it possible to configure apt (or aptitude) so that it will install apps in a loop-back mounted image ? my / has only 600Mo (smartq5 device), and I have an SD card of about 8G... I'd like to install applications on the SD. [08:42] FlailingWalrus1: No, let me get you the link since they have made it hard to find without using ubuntu-bug [08:43] I know GDebi can do it, but as it doesn't keep deps correctly, it's a bit tricky. [08:43] Jordan_U: Kay not a problem [08:44] When I try to compile a .c file, it calls for a .h file, and the .h file is in the same directory as the .c file, but it can't find it... [08:44] leaf-sheep that doesn't help me ubuntu 9.10 doesn't use grub 2 [08:44] it uses grub .98 [08:44] have u declared it in the .c file [08:44] FlailingWalrus1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+filebug?no-redirect [08:45] .97* [08:45] syrius: What do you mean? Ubuntu 9.10 does use grub2. [08:45] ufw was doing it. if you have ufw installed, it doesn't let you use iptables until you enable ufw. [08:45] Treeh: is the case correct? [08:45] i am trying to get syslog to log cron to a seperate file. i removed the # from the cron line in syslog.conf, created that file with 640 right, gave syslog.adm ownership and restarted syslog and cron and it still won't log to that file. what have i done wrong? [08:45] I did a grub --version it says different leaf-sheep [08:45] hey guys have u used 9.10 wireless [08:45] Jordan_U: Any way you think I should describe the bug? [08:45] ? [08:45] leaf-sheep grub --version [08:45] grub (GNU GRUB 0.97) [08:45] syrius, leaf-sheep: if you upgrade from 9.04, you'll still be using GRUB [08:45] syrius: did you upgrade from 9.04? [08:45] Billiard: I dunno what that is :D [08:46] syrius: I'm using 1.97~beta4. [08:46] Treeh: capital or lowercase letters? [08:46] Billiard: I'm trying to compile an apache module using the apxs command. [08:46] syrius: You did not do a clean install? [08:46] Billiard: Oh. Yes [08:46] yes I upgrade from 9.04 Billiard [08:46] Treeh: of this isnt something you wrote [08:46] Billiard: I'll just show you the error message. [08:46] hey fellas. Has someone used winff? [08:46] syrius: like other said it doesnt update your grub when you upgrade [08:46] no you think a clean install would be that fast leaf-sheep ? [08:47] Younas: i've used it [08:47] syrius: I'm under the impression that you want minimal ubuntu so I gave you !minimal -- where you can obtain iso, burn it. Install few packages and you're done. [08:47] FlailingWalrus1: Can you join #grub? [08:47] my ubu karmic constantly disconnects me from wireless networks [08:47] Jordan_U: Sure [08:47] can u help me [08:47] blaster: when it drops run: dmesg | tail [08:47] wtf [08:47] ok [08:47] why did empathy open without me doing it [08:47] Jordan_U: Done, in the channel [08:47] it just opened like that [08:48] Billiard: http://paste.ubuntu.com/327472/ [08:48] Billiard: As you can see, mod_xm12enc.h is in the directory oO [08:48] Treeh: yep, sorry idk [08:48] actionparsnip, im trying to convert a file from .flv to a phone friendly format but it keeps opening the terminal with some error everytime i do it? what do i need to do to get it to work [08:48] Billiard: Ugh. Thanks anyway. [08:48] Treeh: did you try make? [08:49] Treeh: why not install from repo? [08:49] Billiard: Can't. Apache modules require the special apxs tool [08:49] cankoy: You can't, it's a third-party module. [08:49] Younas: it does open a terminal, its just a gui for settings to then run a command [08:49] cankoy: This is the only form in existance. [08:49] Younas: what did you try [08:49] Treeh: is it not mod_proxy mod? [08:49] Younas: if you read the messages you can websearch for giudes [08:50] cankoy: It isn't. I already have mod_proxy--that's an official Apache module. This is a third-party one developed externally. [08:50] well im a newbie to ubuntu so if you guys dont mind helping me out with it [08:50] ActionParsnip: i booted into safemode, started X and i got artifacts. tried alt-k-prntscrn, that didnt work. rebooted normally, clicked on my name in GDM got artifacts, hit alt-k-prntscrn, that restarted X, clicked on new user got artifacts again, alt-k-prntscrn didnt work [08:50] Treeh: is it mod-proxy-html ? [08:50] cankoy: Yes. [08:51] cankoy: Well, mod_proxy_html. [08:51] Treeh: sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-proxy-html [08:51] billiard i added the file and then selected the desired format and pressed enter. Then it gave me an error in the terminal. If you want i can paste the terminal message her or in a pm [08:51] Younas: pastebin it [08:51] actionparsnip what messages? [08:51] cankoy: I'm in SUSE :D [08:51] Younas: in the terminal which appears [08:51] Treeh: we're all ubuntu here [08:51] squid , I am trying to view a wesbite , using a proxy , i need to change ip address every few seconds..will it help.. [08:52] and some problem with cache and session variables also.. [08:52] R1cochet: when you boot head to command line and run: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log [08:52] cankoy: I know, I am usually as well...but this virtual machine is SUSE, and usually you guys are fairly versitile. [08:52] leaf-sheep that guide is for debian though in debian it works fun well haven't tried with the new grub2 but after 7.04 when I tried the old vga= again it didn't work but it worked on debian [08:52] ubuntu is not debian [08:52] ubuntu may have a debian package system [08:53] it is not the same [08:53] also it uses a different setup for config files [08:53] when you do one config for debian it doesn't mean it will work in ubuntu [08:54] ActionParsnip: what am i looking for? and is there a way to boot to command line without safemode? [08:54] hi [08:54] syrius: I gave you a link earlier for grub2 -- http://harrison3001.blogspot.com/2009/09/grub-2-graphical-boot-tips-to-set.html?showComment=1253736159188 [08:54] yes I know leaf-sheep [08:54] I've installed karmic, but grub fails to start. how can I reinstall grub with the karmic cd ? [08:54] and I told you ubuntu is not debian leaf-sheep [08:54] Does anyone have any experience with apxs (Apache extension tool)? [08:55] it doesn't use the same settings [08:55] R1cochet: from login screen, at the bottom you can select command line logon [08:55] if ubuntu and debian where the same there would be no point in having ubuntu [08:55] it would be like rebranding xp as ubuntu [08:55] syrius: It is not. Ubuntu is a fork from debian. What are you trying to tell me? [08:56] yes I know that [08:56] whats the best option to extract each chapter from a dvd/iso into individual avi files? === co_1 is now known as Daru_sdk [08:56] hey does anyone know how to remove the icons from ubuntu main applications menu? [08:56] ubuntu uses its package system but it is not debian leaf-sheep [08:56] ActionParsnip: ty. what am i looking for once i less Xorg.0.log? [08:56] even debian devs say so [08:57] Optimus55, system>preferences>appearance then goto the interface tab, and uncheck show menu icons [08:57] Does anyone here have any experience at all with compiling Apache modules? [08:57] billybigrigger: it's already unchecked. the icons still show [08:57] I've installed karmic, but grub fails to start. how can I reinstall grub with the karmic cd ? [08:58] R1cochet: just any errors or warnings as well as note hat is going on, its pretty readable [08:58] gribouille: you can mount your installation and chroot to it, then try to reconfigure grub [08:58] ActionParsnip: TY [08:58] Billiard: http://grub.enbug.org/Manual#head-d782c3ed07197a089c4fdf66abce08744adcc0eb [08:59] gribouille: if u have alternate cd you can [08:59] ubuntu is an information over load [08:59] m3onh0x84: wrong person? [08:59] I give up on linux [08:59] gribouille: or install with live cd again what else [08:59] back to winxp for me [08:59] syrius: bye bye [09:00] * ActionParsnip waves [09:00] how do i remove the icons from the main ubuntu menu (on top screen)? [09:00] Optimus55: right click and remove [09:00] Optimo5: use alacarte to enable / disable items [09:00] Optimus55: aah main menu , yeah right click and edit [09:01] Billiard: /me type tab mis :D [09:01] indus: no i don't want to remove the group/application from showing. just the icons. i want only text names [09:01] Optimus55: thats in system>preferences>appearance [09:02] hackthissite.org [09:02] Optimus55: uncheck show icons in menus [09:02] every body: I can not rescue grub follow guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Manual#head-d782c3ed07197a089c4fdf66abce08744adcc0eb [09:02] indus: it's already unchecked. i think that's for inside nautilus windows [09:02] it not show mode for me rescue [09:03] Is there any text-based program to check the fan speed, processor temperature and such? [09:03] hello [09:03] I have a Geforce 8600 GT and an 6100 Geforce which is onboard and I had just installed ubuntu 9.10 and for some reason I can only get the pc to detect the 8600 GT card which would be two monitors and i am using them in twinview but the 6100 isn't being detected at all. I have three monitors and only two are working since one of them is the 6100. Does anybody have any idea on this type of problem? [09:03] Optimus55: hmm dont know [09:03] I can't load xorg, it says that the kernel module nvidia does not exist, and when running "modprobe nvidia" it confirms this by saying "FATAL: Module nvidia not found.". What do I do? [09:03] ent: in bios check if both cards are enabled , [09:03] Yes they are [09:04] ent: whats the output of lspci [09:04] http://pastebin.ca/1686599 [09:05] Optimus55: you need to hack some stuff probably [09:05] indus: okay thanks === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [09:05] ent: its working fine [09:05] ent: see , geforce 6100 [09:05] for some reason it will not let me use the third monitor though, it is not detecting a third monitor at all. [09:05] how do i scroll up in a terminal using the keyboard [09:05] ent: the nvidia settings doesnt see it ? [09:06] yes, but for some reason when I go to configure the dual monitor the third one is not present [09:06] only the 8600 gt monitors are [09:06] but on windows xp professional it works perfectly all three. [09:06] * SpaceGhostC2C thinks indus is epic. [09:06] correct [09:07] ent: ok iam not sure if 3 monitors work on ubuntu . need to ask more in here [09:07] I mean it comes up in the nvidia-settings as GeForce 6100 etc, as well does the 8600 GT card but for some reason it only shows two monitors when I try to configure it [09:07] ent: 2 i know works [09:07] when i close my lid on my laptop, it logs me out, killing all my applications. how do i stop that?? [09:07] yes, two are currently working [09:07] ent: probably need to manually add the third monitor in xorg file , [09:07] * indus asks ActionParsnip for a solution [09:07] is that difficult? [09:07] kermit: power options perhaps, action when you close lid [09:08] SpaceGhostC2C: yeah epic fail [09:08] indus: ? [09:08] Billiard: where do i set that? [09:08] ActionParsnip: is 3 monitors work in ubuntu? [09:08] *does [09:08] ent: if you run nvidia-settings do you see 3 monitors? [09:08] please, how to configure windows as default boot option on ubuntu 9.10 i cant find /boot/grub/menu.lst? [09:08] kermit: power options, somwhere on the menu, not hidden, sorry not at a gui right now [09:08] No sir [09:08] only two [09:08] indus: not used 3 monitors in linux [09:08] which would be the 8600 gt card [09:09] ent: hmm so you are using the dual dvi ports on the 8600 gt? [09:09] silvia: grub-set-default maybe [09:09] yes [09:09] ent: ok you may need to use xorg.conf to make it see the other card [09:09] and using the onboard video card as well to give out the input of the third monitor [09:09] lets try it bilards [09:09] ActionParsnip: both cards detected, but only 2 monitors [09:09] ent: if you run: gksudo nvidia-settings [09:09] yes [09:09] oic [09:09] correct [09:09] thaks [09:09] and when I try and 'detect displays' nothing happens just continues to show the two monitors [09:10] ent: what if you click detect displays like a man possesed? [09:10] ;) [09:10] click it lots [09:10] How can i see if SWAP is encrypted on 9.10 if using home encryption feature? [09:10] how do i scroll up in a terminal using the keyboard, pressing up just looks at my last entered command [09:10] just spammed it [09:10] Azeotrope: swap is not a partition [09:10] silvia ? [09:10] <_ruben> peterpants: shift-pgup [09:10] ent: hmm, is their a bug for this logged? [09:10] how come jockey-text not want to enable my nvidia-drivers? [09:10] _ruben: thanks [09:10] maybe manually adding 3rd monitor to xorg works? [09:11] rohdef: yeah jockey sucks, install from add/remove or synaptic [09:11] just slows the pc down [09:11] yes [09:11] I am not exactly sure how to do that [09:11] indus, in my case it is... [09:11] I am in the xorg.conf right now [09:11] but I am not sure exactly how I would add the third monitor [09:11] Azeotrope: in your case? how come [09:11] I'm running the karmic live cd. I run grub-install /dev/sda and I get "grub-probe error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub" what does it mean ? [09:12] indus, tried from aptitude, but it doesn't seem to recove the lost kernel module :( [09:12] ent: neither am i, can you paste the xorg file [09:12] rohdef: lost what? how [09:12] yes. please wait [09:12] rohdef: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [09:12] ive never gotten crontab to work properly. does it operate on utc? what is wrong with this line? [09:12] 12 01 * * * vlc /home/user/Desktop/*.mp3 [09:12] I've never gotten anything to launch with this utility [09:12] billiard, how do i use this command? if i dont know the entry? [09:12] indus, modprobe nvidia reveals that the module isn't present on my system [09:13] can the 32bit version of ubuntu see all 4gb of my ram? or is it like windows and only see 3gb [09:13] indus, isn't it use 185? [09:13] indus: http://pastebin.ca/1686605 [09:13] yeah 185 [09:13] brand0con: can you glob with vlc like that? [09:13] indus: i made a swap partition and encrypted it old style, with luks. then i noticed that there is a problem with it (it was telling cannot be mounted at boot). after reading a little i saw that 9.10 should encrypt swap if you use home encryption [09:13] ActionParsnip: yep terminal does it no problem [09:13] it should still launch with some sort of error [09:13] silvia: its a number, you have to count them [09:14] Azeotrope: hmm i thought swap is not a real partition, what possible data could go and stay in there [09:14] infidel2: it sees 4GB... but then some is used up for hardware mappings, graphics memory and whatnot.. so you end up with less then 4GB.. not sure if you'll end up at 3GB or 3.5 GB though [09:14] brand0con: funky, learn something every day. thanks [09:14] indus, tried reinstalling that one before, I'll try and purge it then reinstall [09:14] npp [09:14] ent: if you have the same monitor, then add the entry similar to the other ones [09:14] I'm running the karmic live cd. I run grub-install /dev/sda and I get "grub-probe error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub" what does it mean ? [09:14] indus: thank you [09:14] indus: appreciate it [09:14] rohdef: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-xyx [09:14] is there a linux equivalent to microsoft equation editor that will save in a format my teacher can read on his windows computer? [09:14] okay, i have to cont from zero all lines or exept the separation line or including the separetion line?

Azeotrope is right.. you can't assume X to be running in a cronjob.. so use terminal stuff only..

[09:22] brand0con: when the cronjob is run there is no DISPLAY variable set.. so vlc doesn't know where to show it's interface.. when you start gnome-terminal you have that variable set since you've started it from X [09:22] brand0con: try this one instead DISPLAY=:0.0 vlc /home/user/Desktop/*.mp3 [09:22] Slart: thank you for the explaination [09:23] ActionParsnip: ok wnet through the log, 1 thing that really stood out was "failed to initialize GLX extension (compatable NVIDIA X driver not found)" === Kravlin_ is now known as kravlin [09:23] R1cochet: then run: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx*; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [09:23] ActionParsnip: also "unloadmodule: "vesa" [09:24] nice day [09:24] hix, with me today is bad day [09:25] R1cochet: vesa is the failsafe driver, that should work fine.

However, a few packages depend on pulseaudio, most notably ubuntu-desktop. How can I install pulseaudio from source and get rid of the pulseaudio package without affecting the other packages? [10:12] g0d: according to the output it isnt supported but you may find guides for it [10:12] thank you sir action [10:12] hey my buddy said i should install kbuntu over ubuntu and showed me it should i? [10:12] ircuser: now for the tahoma. in 1.1.33 it scales ugly. type locate tahoma and inspect the output. 'good' fonts are about 384K (355K) in size. there are 2 files. the 'bad' ones are much smaller (less than 100K). then just replace the files. [10:12] first distro i ran for years [10:12] Ikenerl cant you just update the package in aptitude or something [10:12] R1cochet: you could remove xserver-xorg-video-nv to force the system to use vesa === serengeti_ is now known as serengeti [10:13] hey whenever i try to login, my system says, greeter application failed..anyone knows why? [10:13] g0d: kubuntu is ubuntu with kde.

[10:13] thanks for the 411 very much [10:13] forkcap [10:13] forkcap oh [10:13] linux elite here eh [10:13] g0d anytime friend. [10:13] ActionParsnip: that wont remove xserver tho will it? [10:14] ActionParsnip: sudo apte-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nv? [10:14] R1cochet: no, just the driver [10:15] R1cochet: sure, you can always add the install CD as a repo and install it again [10:15] ActionParsnip: ty much i shall try [10:15] g0d: if you like gnome, leave it, if you like kde, use it [10:16] g0d: there is also xfce. I prefer LXDE when not in hnome. [10:16] g0d kde=bloatware though [10:16] g0d, Gnome* [10:16] g0d: theres also xfce, blackbox, fluxbox, lxde, flwm you can use instead of the default gnome + metacity you use but i'd just get used to the OS for now [10:17] iKernel, It is not bloatware. It makes everything a application. [10:17] Myxb: deleted old PPA (only one line with 'meebey' word) and then added ubuntu-wine PPA. Then "sudo apt-get update" and when I went back to synaptic the same old error. Says dependency issues with wine 1.2 [10:17] iKernel, So clipboard is an application, not just pard of the system [10:17] EVERYONE says that kde is not bloatware [10:17] but it really is [10:18] SpaceGhostC2C: you can do that sort of thing in gnome with xclip [10:18] SpaceGhostC2C: pastebinit /etc/hosts | pastebinit | xclip [10:18] SpaceGhostC2C: saves you haveing to copy the url manually ;) [10:18] * leaf-sheep tests the xclip [10:19] Hi Guys, I`ve been trying to pass on arguments to the start-stop-daemon by doing --exec /path/to/bin/name -arguments, but it won`t accept it as reckon the daemon is listening for the args, is there a way to do this :)? [10:19] if you are using x forwarding it will be pasteable on the client system too (even in windows) [10:19] ActionParsnip, I know already. I have it installed. I was giving a for instance. [10:19] ircuser: try sudo aptitude purge wine && sudo aptitude install wine1.2. btw, this 'tahoma-replacement' package is the one with corrupt tahoma font. [10:20] SpaceGhostC2C: no worries :) [10:20] ActionParsnip, thanks for th info. I already have xclip installed. I was explaining that kubuntu works in modules instead of just one base. [10:21] SpaceGhostC2C: not dug into it that far, LXDE for me :) [10:21] ActionParsnip: 04:20:57 up 1 day, 8 min, 4 users, load average: 0.43, 0.41, 0.31 [10:21] ActionParsnip: Heh. Not bad. I could get used to this. [10:21] ActionParsnip, I tried it when I helped a friend. I hate kde. I love LXDE [10:22] leaf-sheep, what do you mean? the not required restart when you install a driver for a keyboard you plug in, that is for windows? [10:22] leaf-sheep: makes life easier, could even make a script which takes an arg and auto puts the data on the clipboard with one command ;) [10:22] ActionParsnip: http://paste2.org/p/531625 [10:22] i checked and boot partition is mounted by / is not visible at all [10:22] s/by/but [10:22] updatebrokeuuids: can you give a pastebin of: sudo blkid [10:22] SpaceGhostC2C: Meh? [10:23] SpaceGhostC2C: Are you talking to me? I'm lost. :\ [10:23] http://paste2.org/p/531629 [10:23] Anyone know what the task "Basic Ubuntu Server" in tasksel is called if I want to install it with apt-get? [10:24] ActionParsnip: the device with uuid starting with d33bd4b5 is NOT present when i do blkid on my system (not on live cd) [10:25] ActionParsnip, Can't he just mount everything he wants mounted on startup and them copy /etc/mtab to /etc/fstab? I had him make a backup of /etc/fstab [10:25] updatebrokeuuids: maybe a pci-ids is good [10:25] updatebrokeuuids: update pci-ids [10:25] updatebrokeuuids: can you boot to the system in some way to get a prompt to read: dmesg | less [10:25] hmmm [10:25] need to install irc client on my phone [10:25] 1 sec [10:26] SpaceGhostC2C: his fstab and mtab are different. I've not do it before but if it works go for it. Here are both files: http://paste2.org/p/531625 [10:26] updatebrokeuuids, try what indus said. [10:26] in rdesktop and tsclient, machine isnt passing on mouse clicks. any idea why? [10:26] ActionParsnip, I have done it succesfully many times. Hmm, odd. No worried. I'll let you handle this one. [10:27] updatebrokeuuids: it's possible to 'e'dit the boot entry from grub... you could point it to your boot partition and then fix the rest by manually editing fstab etc [10:27] SpaceGhostC2C: can you please. i got a tonne of wesearchers going nuts [10:27] ActionParsnip, sure. [10:27] ActionParsnip, I've got four already. [10:27] SpaceGhostC2C: 4 what? [10:28] kling0n: you dont understand I DO boot, u can see usplash or plyomouth or whatever but / is not present [10:28] ActionParsnip, four people I'm helping synchronously. [10:28] SpaceGhostC2C: nice, fun isnt it :) [10:28] rebootin [10:28] SpaceGhostC2C: Makes support fun, and challenging! [10:28] !helpersnack | SpaceGhostC2C [10:28] SpaceGhostC2C: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [10:29] ActionParsnip, I love it. [10:29] MenZa, You're a saint. [10:29] :) [10:29] Now I have 2. [10:29] :P [10:29] in rdesktop and tsclient, machine isnt passing on mouse clicks. any idea why? [10:29] helpersnack = nice :) [10:29] Is it weird that helper snacks actually make me feel better? [10:29] Slart, Thank you so much for your help, i found the utility to change console fonts - setupcon *hug* [10:30] Younder, Hey!! [10:30] SpaceGhostC2C: Not at all; it's nice to feel appreciated ;) [10:30] limey: its in "view only mode" if it exists [10:30] MenZa, For sure. [10:30] updatebrokeuuids: when you edit the boot entry in grub you have line containing something like "root=UUID=df65g4d56fg4d564fg654dgd5fg4df64" you can edit that to say, for example, "root=/dev/hda2" [10:30] limey, you have to turn off view only in the host, and I suggest put a password on the host. [10:31] ActionParsnip, i have a seperate password for view, and another for control. [10:31] hmm not playing my mpp3 tyring ot install plugin gsteream r osmething [10:31] hello [10:31] limey: try the other password, see if its the same [10:31] bugger, he just wen t offline didn't he [10:31] it said it installed but it wont play my mp3 [10:31] can i install MS office on linux guyz?

[10:32] g0d: sudo apt-get install wine [10:32] g0d: sudo apt-get install wine [10:32] ActionParsnip, ty that worked [10:33] g0d: I suggest you enable medibuntu repos. Link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Adding%20the%20Repository [10:33] mostafa: why dont you try open office? [10:33] forkcap: Does Karmic not come with mp3 codecs and required packages? I dont remember installing anything after a clean install [10:33] R1cochet: nice, now you just need to get drivers. I can personally recommend the 190 driver [10:33] mostafa, listen to indus he's a god of epicness. [10:33] R1cochet: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-nvidia-graphics-drivers-190-42-in-ubuntu-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html [10:33] chaitu: It doesn't, but it's as simple as clicking a button if you attempt to play something that's not supported. [10:33] ok mp3 codecs installing thanks but when i try to sudo aptget wine it says this E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [10:33] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [10:33] chaitu: not sure about Karmic but jaunty etc. were great about automatically installing when needed, so you might just not have noticed installing the package [10:34] ActionParsnip: i was just gonna mention that. for some reason hardware manager doesnt list any drivers for my video card [10:34] ! hi blooddiamond [10:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about hi blooddiamond [10:34] g0d: do you have synaptic open>? [10:34] MenZa: umnn k [10:34] g0d: you can only run one install instance at a time...

[10:34] forkcap: yeah I guess that true [10:34] thank you sirs [10:34] chaitu: or something to that extent; in any way, it's so simple I don't remember how, at least. :D [10:34] R1cochet: nvidia* also removed the modaliases which jockey-gtk reads [10:34] g0d, anytime [10:34] very helpful channel i must say [10:34] g0d: you can only have 1 app accesing the packages at once [10:34] sorry if im a lil drunk [10:34] thanks he just told me that [10:34] how to access windows filesystem on a wubi installation [10:35] g0d feel free to come back and ask more questions, or get sucked in like we have and actually help. [10:35] i feel we need more options like open office [10:35] pratik_narain: its mounted at /host [10:35] right now its an open source monopoly [10:35] indus: do you mean like alternatives? [10:35] indus: koffice, star office [10:35] well its gonna take more expiericen for me to be as helpful as you guys are i aint ran linux since kernl 2.2.x heh [10:35] I'm not sucked in! I can leave IRC any time! [10:35] coucou [10:35] ActionParsnip: not to mention abiword/gnumeric! [10:35] SpaceGhostC2C: yeah i want a complete office suite but lightweight [10:35] or 2.24 ive tried slackware debian redhat tons of distros [10:35] hello [10:35] indus: I agree in the OS community, competition breeds awesome software.

This is in both tsclient and rdesktop. I have been battling an smb issue all today, where I cannot watch films, or even listen to mp3's over the network. I guess it is tied in with issue somehow. I have no problem browsing to shares, and I have a wins server on the network, so NBT is fine. VLC gives a samba error as permission denied, yet i [10:36] can drag and drop the files to my desktop.

And if I need some advanced stuff I just walk over to my windows box made to compile things and test, and use that [10:37] forkcap: thanks, but something without the K :d [10:37] wont work, because / partition where etc is is NOT accessible [10:37] hello everyone [10:37] ActionParsnip, i can x over ssh fine from this machine [10:37] indus: staroffice [10:37] !hi | Mo-- [10:37] still dont understand why ooo 3.* hasnt been ported to hardy?

[10:37] I'm also a part of the group who doesn't install anything with a prepending K [10:37] thank you [10:37] ActionParsnip: that open source? [10:37] Pirate_Hunter: no security problem, no backport. [10:37] ActionParsnip: paid sun product isnt it [10:37] Pirate_Hunter: there's not much point, really. [10:37] <_5moufl> I can't change the luminosity with karmic and my laptop (it worked before karmic) [10:38] indus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StarOffice [10:38] ActionParsnip: do i have to apt-get the modaliases? also hardware manager always recommended 185 for me [10:38] is there a way to send some input to another process' stdin? Say I run matlab's commandline tool and send it to the background. How would I send "runsomescript();\n" to its stdin? [10:38] Woops, I missed the part about lightweight. I second the suggestion to use Abiword/Gnumeric if Oo.org is too heavy. [10:38] MenZa: hmmm I guess still would be nice to know what is new oh well [10:38] limey, what about the ethernet link? Do you know that is running ok. Sounds to me that there may be something going on there. [10:38] indus, I'm not sure your question entirely, but emacs + auctex? LaTeX is pretty nice, there's also Gummi if you want a Live update of your pdf as you type, but I found it a little annoying.. [10:39] chu_: wrong nick :) === Reactor is now known as Reac_away [10:39] indus: seems so $34 USD [10:39] dinosaurvskitten, consider asking your question in ##linux [10:39] limey, can you run wireshark, or tcpdump and then send some files across to check for errors? [10:39] indus: I actually read about preloading it on startup. It doesn't hurt my 8gigs of ram. [10:39] greezmunkey, the speed is fine, as i can drag and drop movies/mp3's to desktop, and they are quick. [10:39] R1cochet: 185 is the stable, 190 is experimental but ive never had an issue with it [10:39] ActionParsnip: any other ideas how to access my / partition ? [10:39] forkcap, already done [10:39] hello :> i uploaded a file in ubuntu one's web interface and it's showing up there, but it's not showing up in my local "ubuntu one" folder and the update applet says that my files are up to date... :/ is there something i'm missing? [10:39] greezmunkey, i can try [10:39] updatebrokeuuids: not sure, tried an fsck in live CD? [10:39] updatebrokeuuids: when you edit the boot entry in grub you have line containing something like "root=UUID=df65g4d56fg4d564fg654dgd5fg4df64" you can edit that to say, for example, "root=/dev/hda2" [10:40] ActionParsnip: how can i go about getting it then? [10:40] rocky|raccoon: you may have more luck in #ubuntuone [10:40] R1cochet: the guide i gave will get the 190 installed for you, there is an nvidia ppa [10:40] limey, yeah, it's wierd I know, but check ifconfig and see if you see any errored frams, or the like as well. [10:40] MenZa, I'll try there instead thanks [10:40] there is no way i can access my / partition - not to see its uuid , its just not present [10:41] rocky|raccoon: np [10:41] limey, I work in telecom, voip and the such, a lot of issues with this sort of think can be traced back to the wire. [10:41] s/think/thing [10:41] rocky|raccoon: U1 is all very new to all of us, and I doubt a lot of us have read up on the tech bits of it [10:41] updatebrokeuuids: check with parted whether you accidentally wiped your partition table [10:42] greezmunkey, it is wireless [10:42] Myxb: Hey thanks. wine 1.1.33 installed swiftly but feeddemon is not working.."FeedDemon" was unable to load the newspaper style "Surfer".... anyway i will try to solve it....thanks a lot [10:42] ActionParsnip: im sorry but i dont see a guide that u gave [10:42] MenZa, Very true, I still haven't really read much about it to even see how it works really, I just gave it a try anyway :> At least it wasn't for something too important [10:42] hi [10:42] limey, ok, check iwconfig see if there are a lot of over runs. [10:42] kling0n: i checked, everything IS there and i can access the data from live cd - just cant do that after todays kernel update [10:42] * indus offers some tea to the helpers here [10:42] rocky|raccoon: If you still can't find a solution, I suggest you file a bug on Launchpad. [10:43] * MenZa puts over a put of coffee for the ones who prefer a slightly darker brew. [10:43] updatebrokeuuids: backup, then manually edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to point to devices in stead of uuids [10:43] R1cochet: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-nvidia-graphics-drivers-190-42-in-ubuntu-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html [10:43] 看不懂 [10:43] greezmunkey, over runs?

[10:44] xuchunxiao, /join #ubuntu-cn [10:44] * indus tells menza india is the leader in tea, so try some :) [10:44] ifconfig [10:44] ActionParsnip: will do [10:44] oops...

[10:46] bahzang: I wasn't sure exactly. I have a japanese friend who taught me a bit. A lot of japanese is the same in chinese. [10:46] limey, that's good. So the only issue you have is playing files that reside across your network? [10:46] besides, he had already quit [10:46] are there any known issues to installing jaunty with the alternate CD instead of the desktop version? [10:46] Pirate_Hunter: no [10:47] Pirate_Hunter, not that I know of. [10:47] MenZa: we are not too behind in coffee either :D [10:47] greezmunkey, yes, and also rdesktop and tsclient not updating screens [10:47] Pirate_Hunter, none that I am aware of, you can check launchpad for bugs if you wish ; keep in mind it is install only and text version [10:48] Pirate_Hunter: its just a simpler installer so gets you going faster as youu dont have to boot an x server from the CD. It can also be used to upgrade from [10:48] limey, oh, I ran across that...turn off some of the effects like the remote's background, etc. That should clean things up a lot. === aperson is now known as APERSON [10:48] SpaceGhostC2C, iceberg: thanks will use that than I prefer text based install - bazhang - [10:48] Pirate_Hunter: unfortunately the desktop CD is dead handy for troubleshooting (hence why I download both) [10:49] kling0n: there is no menu.lst for grub2 i think :P [10:49] ActionParsnip: how can it be handy for troubleshooting aren't both the versions the same? [10:49] mostafa: hi [10:49] mostafa: sorry cant acess it from windows [10:49] mostafa: use winscp for that [10:49] Pirate_Hunter, Sounds like a good deal. I use the livecd to fix my occasional fail. [10:49] is it possible to sync calendar ( / contacts) with iphone? [10:50] Hi! Tried to install a phpish GD library instead of the native one. Used a howto to compile from source, failed. Then used a howto that suggested adding a new repo to list. Failed and totally messed up my packages. :( 1) SOS! Help me get out of this. 2) Help me get a correct GD library please. [10:50] Pirate_Hunter: they install the same OS, one installs in a graphical environment, one installs in a text environment and allows you to add some extra settings about the install (as far as I've noticed) [10:50] I just compiled and installed (I made sure to do a make uninstall first to get rid of previous pulseaudio stuff), I start pulseaudio, but when I try to open System->Prefrences->Sound it just sits on "Waiting for sound server to respond" with a cancel button. I haven't ran pulseaudio with any arguments. I've tried running as root and as kernel. I haven't tried rebooting. One evil looking thing I saw when running pulseaudio was: [10:50] E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device_id=0"): initialization failed. What do I need to do to make pulseaudio work? [10:50] Pirate_Hunter: the desktop CD can be used if you bork your system as you will get a desktop [10:51] is there a way to put only one of my two monitors to sleep? [10:51] optimizer, push the power button on the relevant monitor [10:51] optimizer: what do you mean? [10:51] is there a way to put only one of my two monitors to sleep? via software; xset dpms force off puts both to sleep [10:51] iKernel, ;) [10:51] optimizer, do you want to switch from dual to two? [10:51] hi all [10:51] SpaceGhostC2C, after a period of inactivity, the monitor will go blank [10:51] ActionParsnip: oh you mean it that way, yeah its better than that minimal shell given by the alternate version which for the life of me I still dont know my way around, thanks will burn both === Reac_away is now known as Reactor === friendishan is now known as roronoa [10:52] nope, no one knows, I'll try a reboot. [10:52] is there a way to put only one of my two monitors to sleep? via software; xset dpms force off puts both to sleep ; i have 2 28" lcds and they give off too much heat; i only want one to be one unless i use both of them [10:52] !away > Reactor [10:52] Reactor, please see my private message [10:52] optimizer: xrandr --screen snum --off ? [10:52] iKernel, so is he asking to keep one from doing that? or how to switch from a dual work enbironment? [10:52] optimizer: worth a tryu [10:52] where is my controle options on 9.1? [10:52] Pirate_Hunter: its good to try, gets you started faster [10:52] SpaceGhostC2C, think he's asking to make one do that and not the other [10:53] limey, any luck with that? [10:53] iKernel, He wants to do what I specified. switch from dual monitor to single. [10:53] steff_: can you expand please [10:53] hey [10:53] how to make a video chat in pidgin [10:53] optimizer: any luck? [10:53] i cant seem to have a controle center?? [10:54] steff, what are you trying to control? [10:54] !bootoptions > updatebrokeuuids [10:54] updatebrokeuuids, please see my private message [10:54] greezmunkey, still working on it [10:54] konza, sudo apt-get install pidgin-plugin-pack [10:54] steff_: in kde do you mean? [10:54] it should appear in admin right??? [10:54] konza: is that even possible? I thought they were still working on the voice chat... could be wrong might want to check pidgin site [10:54] limey, ok [10:54] steff_: try: systemsettings [10:54] hardware settings? [10:54] steff, you're on 9.10? [10:55] konza, there is a videochat plugin in that package. [10:55] yes you are... [10:55] cant see it anywhere? systemsettings that is? [10:55] konza, I'd use empathy. sudo apt-get empathy [10:55] yes im on 9.1 [10:55] steff_: are you running kubuntu or ubuntu? [10:55] !info empathy > konza [10:55] ubuntu [10:55] SpaceGhostC2C, empathy is not working in my sys [10:55] steff_: ok so what do you want to find out? [10:56] steff_: most options can be set through "system->preferences" [10:56] konza: try sudo apt-get install pidgin-plugin-pack [10:56] how to controle screen resolution in admin mode [10:56] can i turn ubuntu in kubuntu without re installing it? [10:56] SpaceGhostC2C, kkk [10:56] sllide: yes [10:56] steff_: yes but it wont fix your issue [10:56] sllide: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [10:56] steff_: have you installed video drivers? [10:56] SpaceGhostC2C, new name.. [10:56] sllide, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [10:57] okok :D [10:57] fuxing fing [10:57] is system settings a package? [10:57] Hi! Tried to install a phpish GD library instead of the native one. Used a howto to compile from source, failed. Then used a howto that suggested adding a new repo to list. Failed and totally messed up my packages. :( 1) SOS! Help me get out of this. 2) Help me get a correct GD library please. [10:57] hey wheres the offf topic channel where you can rave about koalas and no one minds ? [10:57] slide: you will have all the kde apps next to your gnome stuff though [10:57] Younder, I had the Spaceghost name 3 years ago, but lost it. Someone else must have it now. Had to register as this. [10:57] slide: so not only will you have gedit, you will also have kate and kwrite [10:57] steff_: its a kde app, it wont help you [10:57] !nfs [10:57] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [10:57] oh ok [10:57] kate rocks [10:58] steff_: have you configured video drivers? [10:58] how do I turn off the update manager that bugs me when I log in? [10:58] greezmunkey, she rocks even more in bed [10:58] greezmunkey: try leafpad ;) [10:58] sllide, you will have to go to System>Preferences>Main Menu and sort out the kde apps from ubuntu ones in Gnome to get gnome not looking retarded. [10:58] gheddy_zarc: #ubuntu+1 used to be the channel for the next version but gets closed down after a release, it might have reopened for lucid now, the offtopic channel is #ubuntu-offtopic [10:58] iKernel: Please keep it ontopic, and appropriate. [10:58] so you know ive been a linux user for about a year so im not an expert yet but i can get by [10:58] greezmunkey, Anything with a prepending K has this effect one me. I never like them. [10:58] steff_: you havent answered my question [10:58] Flannel, I meant when using kate on a laptop while in bed. sitting down at a desktop pc, not so much [10:59] can anyone please explain me why only in Ubuntu when i plug the AC adapter out of my laptop i can no longer use my cpu at 2.4GHz frequency and it blocks at only 800Mhz!? it really annoys me and it only happens in ubuntu [10:59] I dont are really what version it it ravin about eh,, its all so good [10:59] but i can sure say that windows can suck my cock and balls lol [10:59] * dansan is very angry with Ubuntu maintainers for kicking kdevelop 3.5 and using a screwed up beta 4! [10:59] pardon my language [10:59] steff_: are you going to answer or troll? [10:59] Flannel, wait, are you a bot?

[11:00] does KDE run gnome apps? [11:00] Let's all not jump on the ubottu wagon okay? [11:00] So can anybody tell me how I can get an actual **working** copy of kdevelop for a non-debian user? I need kdevelop 3.5.something and the 9.10 upgrade very nicely removed, replacing it with the highly disfunctional and broken beta [11:00] slide: yes, iheard some are a bit weird but do run [11:00] sllide: yes [11:00] sllide: sure [11:00] cool [11:00] mine is 1280x800 [11:01] sllide, you can use ubuntu applications in any environment providing you have dependencies. [11:01] dansan: tried a ppa? [11:01] I [11:01] ActionParsnip: what's ppa? [11:01] ActionParsnip, heh leafpad... pretty simple [11:01] dansan: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/kdevelop/4:3.5.4-1ubuntu1 [11:01] steff_: fine, can you give me the output of the command [11:01] !ppa | dansan [11:01] dansan: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [11:01] dansan: someone may have it on a personal repo which you can add and use [11:02] sorry Action im not sure what that is?? [11:02] kling0n: You're a fucking saint!!!!!! [11:02] Sorry about that. I'm running Karmic on an ages-old ThinkPad; which desktop environment have you found to be quicker, KDE or Gnome? Or should I opt for something lighter still, like XCFE? [11:02] steff_: its a terminal command [11:02] im still amateur [11:02] dansan: you're welcome [11:02] ActionParsnip: ok it completed. so do i have to do anything else special or just restart? [11:02] steff_: copy the command, paste to terminal, press enter, copy the output, paste the output here [11:02] !language | dansan [11:02] ActionParsnip, kling0n: thank you both :) [11:02] R1cochet: yep, reboot away [11:02] ok ill do that [11:02] * dansan scolds self for language [11:02] steff_: people write programs, and put them on launchpad for people to use and test and whatnot. You can install programs in ubuntu using the author's repo from lanchpad. [11:02] !whyarentyouworking [11:03] !fine then don't talk to me :( [11:03] iKernel: Please don't abuse the bot [11:03] iKernel, Stop messing with the bot. [11:03] ActionParsnip: ty so much for all your help. bbs [11:03] R1cochet: np bro [11:03] iKernel, only use it if you know how. [11:03] ok well my issue is not a big deal for now [11:03] * ActionParsnip sighs [11:03] iKernel, do this to test and learn with the bot /msg ubottu !language [11:03] got to get to work, chat later [11:03] steff_: i just need the output of the command i gave, thats it [11:03] thanks for your info for now [11:04] oh well [11:04] iKernel, then you can test with a pm to Ubottu [11:06] ActionParsnip, I tried, you tried, what more can you do... [11:06] they are all dead in #off-topic ? where to rave about ubuntu ? ActionParsnip Im designing a super hero in your image using open draw of course [11:06] greezmunkey: with what? [11:07] gheddy_zarc: just not here [11:07] hey all. thunderbird doesn't allow me to save passwords. any ideas? [11:08] iKernel: It's possible that all that messing with the bot has gotten you muted. go to #ubuntu-ops for help. [11:08] hey guys gg-client not worked error how to gg-client install [11:09] tado, what is the error message? [11:09] jargal: what is gg-client? [11:09] hey guys gg-client not worked error how to gg-client install [11:10] !info gg-client [11:10] Package gg-client does not exist in karmic [11:10] SpaceGhostC2C, maybe [11:10] kekale, how much RAM are you working with? [11:10] greezmunkey, i have mint 7 laptop right next to this one, and it can play movies. both are wireless G, both have 90% signal [11:10] jargal: you need to let us know hat went wrong. what errors? [11:10] SpaceGhostC2C, i think the bot has put me on ignore [11:10] warcraft garena client [11:10] iKernel probably. [11:10] ActionParsnip, SpaceGhostC2C i got my system to boot by manually editing boot option and changing UUID root to /dev/sda3 (in my case) [11:11] Ergo^: its very weird but glad you got a boot :) [11:11] jargal what errors do you get? [11:11] ergo^: cool? [11:11] not really cool [11:11] limey: unfortunately its not supported here [11:11] because UUID is still not present [11:11] wine is installed after run error [11:11] means i have to change that every time i boot [11:11] greezmunkey, mint machine has same problem with remote desktop, so i think that is a config problem on host machine [11:11] Ergo^: does sudo blkid output an ID for the partition now? [11:11] Ergo^, you don't need to do that. [11:11] wine is installed after run error [11:11] greezmunkey, it is the ubuntu machine that doesnt work [11:11] drellok: there is no errror message. it just won't show the checkbox at the beginning of the session [11:12] ActionParsnip: yes it does [11:12] jargal, this is really a wine thing. Ask in wine's irc. [11:12] Ergo^: is it by any chance what it was before [11:12] ActionParsnip: yes it the same thing [11:12] ActionParsnip: just doesnt exist in /dev/disk/by-uuid [11:12] jargal: uninstall wine and rename ~/.wine then reinstall wine [11:12] Ergo^, you can edit your grub to always point there. [11:12] Ergo^: i'd submit a bug [11:12] wine has it's limits [11:12] greezmunkey, i was using the mint as a comparison. it is not a network issue per se. it is a problem local to the ubuntu machine. [11:13] ok [11:13] ActionParsnip, he is trying to install some warcraft something or toher software [11:13] you cant just run ANY windws app [11:13] hey i installed ventrilo and wine but how do i run it now from wine?? [11:13] limey, what exactly are you asking help for? name a qurstion [11:13] SpaceGhostC2C: i see [11:13] g0d, you can do wine /path/to/ventrilo [11:13] ActionParsnip: yeah its def a bug... never happened to me before in 2 years [11:13] path to [11:13] jargal: i suggest you check the appdb for wine. not all apps run and some won't even install [11:13] it ws C:/windws [11:14] !appdb | jargal [11:14] jargal: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [11:14] tado, see the second paragraph here http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_not_remembered_(Thunderbird) [11:14] g0d, the put that as path. [11:14] and msie version is limited to the browser not all the suport tools like flash [11:14] thx [11:14] greezmunkey, when i try to play files from network shares, both mplayer and vlc are closing out without playing. i can browse the shares, and drag and drop them. [11:14] g0d: you may find it in your applications menu under wine [11:14] but i have no folder naemd path [11:14] Ergo^, the chances that you've discovered a but is very low, someone else may have already found it. Google around as to the cause of this and see if you can solve for it. [11:14] i got it there ubt it instaled but i cant find how to run it [11:14] coucou [11:15] tmp got it [11:15] nvm [11:15] thank u [11:15] g0d: buddy, where is ventrilo installed? [11:15] g0d, good. [11:15] drellok: i have tried that, but it still doesn't show the checkbox [11:15] limey: have you got mplayer installed? you could try running mplayer from commandline and see what it says [11:15] g0d: you chose the location to install it to, the "c drive" starts at ~/.wine/drive-c [11:15] greezmunkey, vlc is erroring with smaba permission denied [11:15] g0d: you can then traverse the folders from there til you reach the .exe [11:15] it connected on vent [11:15] i got it thanks [11:15] see if it wors now [11:15] SpaceGhostC2C: that was introduced by todays kernel update - i can see some posts on ubuntuforums, doesnt only affect me it seems [11:15] i got mp3 working [11:15] limey: try running vlc against the $HOME/.gvfs/ mountopint in stead [11:15] g0d: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:16] limey, could be that these programs *need* to have the files on the local hard drive. [11:16] g0d: ease up on the enter key dude, seriously [11:16] where do I find ubuntu-advanced support? [11:16] g0d: you can write quite lengthy lines and no one will mind but when you start hammering enter it scrolls the channel like crazy [11:16] dijmen: define "advanced"? [11:16] greezmunkey, vlc is fine on a mint and an xp laptop iwth same shares [11:16] limey, can you fireup tcpdump, then run your program until it fails, then pastebin the results? [11:17] Ergo^, then you have a one-up to the original bug reporters, you can read what they did to solve the problem. [11:17] greezmunkey, if you help me i can [11:17] tado, did the parameter change back to false when you started thunderbird? [11:17] my freind is not getting anyting what i am typing in pidgin...........pls help [11:17] konza: sudo apt-get install pidgin [11:17] drellok: nope. it remains on true [11:17] limey, I'll look at the results, let's work on it until we find a solution :) [11:17] kling0n: ahh, my projects are all working again, although the kdevelop-data for the newer version is apparently missing some text strings & such, it's still working, thanks again [11:17] ActionParsnip: sorry [11:18] greezmunkey, ok, what do i do first? [11:18] dansan: very welcome [11:18] drellok: i'm editing it from the edit config under edit->preferences [11:18] dijmen: its ok [11:18] limey, what is the name of your wireless interface? [11:18] kling0n: oh, they have a kdevelop-data .deb package for that version too [11:19] wlan0 [11:19] #ubuntu-advanced has no participants [11:19] dijmen: if you need "Advanced" help, kidnap a ubuntu-dev. [11:19] except for me [11:19] greezmunkey, wlan0 [11:19] dijmen: yes, this is the official support channel [11:19] limey, in a terminal, type in sudo tcpdump -i wlan0 [11:19] dijimen what is that channel about? [11:19] dijmen: if you have any support questions for ubuntu, this is the channel to ask in [11:19] limey, then run your vlc until it fails, then stop tcpdump (ctrl+c), pastebin the result [11:20] roronoa, It's a ubuntu help channel [11:20] dijmen: if you need "Advanced" help, kidnap a ubuntu-dev. There isn't any On-call support crew. Well, not like windows has. [11:20] tado, can you paste your prefs.js file to pastebin? [11:20] ActionParsnip: are vga/gfxpayload supposed to not work under vbox? [11:20] roronoa, you got a problem.. someone will try to help [11:20] younder ok [11:20] SpaceGhostC2C: thank you [11:20] dijmen: i'd ask in #vbox [11:20] dijmen: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/services [11:21] dijmen: you can install the vbox guest additions to driver the thing up [11:21] does anyone know of any tools I could use to scan a harddrive for bad sectors etc? [11:21] Younder : that channel has no participants [11:21] dijmen: now that we have that cleared up, what do you need help with? [11:21] Ignatius: chkdsk [11:21] Ignatius: or fsck [11:21] Ignatius, chkdsk [11:21] roronoa, this one does [11:21] oops [11:21] Younder : i know [11:21] ActionParsnip, isn't there some windows version of fsck that has a linux port? I know it's redundant. [11:21] hey ^^ [11:22] Hello, my ubuntu stopped working after I was messing around with commands to kill X and start my own naked X with only 1 program in it..... Now at startup it freezes me in a terminal and asks for a login.. I can't login though since the window is blinking like crazy and will only take 50% of my input [11:22] SpaceGhostC2C: not sure, yo can use bartPE to run chkdsk on ntfs though :) [11:22] i have xubuntu last version and i cant get the flash player... [11:22] Peter1, oops [11:22] SpaceGhostC2C: are vga/gfxpayload supposed to not work under vbox? [11:22] nothing works... [11:22] Peter1: have you restarted? [11:22] :/ [11:22] SpaceGhostC2C: this was my question [11:22] Peter1, sounds like you trashed your xorg.conf file [11:22] Yeah i have restarted [11:22] greezmunkey, ok, posted [11:22] bb009: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [11:22] !karmic [11:22] Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [11:22] Peter1, that's a tough one [11:22] Peter1: from terminal sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop && sudo pkill -9 X [11:22] Can't I go in with root only terminal and edit it? [11:22] ActionParsnip, or you can just nt suck at life and use windows sparingly :P [11:23] limey, can I have the link? [11:23] ActionParsnip: is chkdsk a bash command or a bit of software? [11:23] SpaceGhostC2C: unfortunately I use it at least 8 hours a day ;) [11:23] Peter1, clearly you need to go to text mode [11:23] Kling0n: where do i go from there? [11:23] Peter1: then, you undo what you did to your xorg.conf :) [11:23] anyway hi everyone ^^ [11:23] !crap [11:23] roronoa: thank you :) [11:23] roronoa: didn't notice you wrote [11:23] drellok: it's the one in etc/thunderbird/profile right? it's here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/327553/ [11:23] kling0n: didn't edit it on purpose :P [11:24] Ignatius: its a CLI command, see man fsck run it from a live CD as it's not advised to fsck a mounted partition [11:24] dijmen : lol your welcome [11:24] Peter1: do you know your way around command-line editing? [11:24] forkcap, 256 MB of RAM [11:24] ohhhh fsck.... you confused me for a moment there -_- [11:24] greezmunkey, http://pastebin.com/d533ac06a [11:24] ActionParsnip, whoa, I'm so sorry. Is there anything I can do to help? A massage with a linux penguin? :P [11:24] kling0n: a bit.. [11:24] I changed network settings, now programs called from a shell script won't load.

[11:33] tado, you can try to insert into this file user_pref("signon.rememberSignons", true); [11:33] sllide: see if that fixes it [11:33] limey: its /etc/init.d/samba to start / restart / stop etc afaik [11:33] my gnome-panel has stopped responding, after i tried repositioning it and unchecking 'expand' - is there any way to restore it from a backup i made using panelswitcher? [11:33] limey: the config is storedin /etc/samba/smb.conf [11:33] What could prevent a shell script from calling programs? [11:33] ActionParsnip, its not there. i thought it was installed by default. i must have to install it. [11:33] the trouble i have is that i can't find panelswitcher in synaptic, nor can i remember its executable name [11:33] tado, and restart thunderbird [11:33] ? [11:33] limey: oh yes its optional, needs installing [11:33] vv [11:34] lat: permissions maybe, or bad path or nonexistant command [11:34] lat: # comments or /* :p [11:34] but i have an smb.conf file at etc/samba/ [11:34] ActionParsnip: who else had problems with boot like i did ?

[11:38] ActionParsnip: Cool, how do i remove the other oens then [11:38] ghufran: there are a lot of options... if you just want a solution for hostnames, you could look at /ets/hosts or setting up a personal dns server [11:38] Gunnar: then run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image those are the installed kernels, you can uninstall any which are surplus with: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image--generic [11:38] fantastic Thanks !

How do I change my user name ? thnx agian [11:39] Gunnar: once you have removed what you dont need run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [11:39] Gunnar: you will gain about 120Mb per kernel in space [11:39] Sweet [11:39] help!my pc can't open any website.it always "waiting" or "analysising".my os is 9.10_amd64. [11:39] Gunnar: grub will be updated accordingly for you too [11:39] tado, you can try to restore back old .mozilla-thunderbird and place prefs.js file from a new one.. this will show if the problem is tied to this file [11:39] hello [11:39] Ghufran, check into ssh keys, it will solve your problem nicely [11:39] kling0n: i just want to be able to replace ssh user@1.2.3.4 by say ssh user@SERVER .. something like that [11:39] welcome: you want to change the username?

[11:41] drellok: sure [11:41] my internet environment is school network.and it is just ok yesterday [11:42] ghufran: be aware though, that this will affect all name lookups for the hostnames you put inthere [11:42] indus: I guess that because root is giving access to wifi... [11:42] chaitu: forkcap i mean, once i had two diff passwords for system and network [11:42] limey, you still there? [11:43] drellok: it works. now i can maybe try a long work of copy pasting the pref one by one and see what messes it up [11:43] then i had to go to passwords and keyrings and change it again [11:43] greezmunkey, im here [11:43] i need some help here [11:43] I installed thunderbird using aptitude. But when I got around to importing my email from eudora, the only format I can import from is communicator 4.x [11:43] What is up with that? [11:43] !ask | slide [11:43] slide: 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. :-) [11:43] slide, fire [11:43] i cant choose betwean kubuntu and ubuntu [11:43] tado, yes, this should work :) [11:44] limey, you are communicating with a winbox, what flavor, OS? [11:44] slide: use one for a month, then use the other for a month, then choose [11:44] slide, well do you program= [11:44] actionparsnip: that was my intro for my epic question [11:44] greezmunkey, win7 [11:44] whats the difference between sudo passwd and sudo passwd username [11:44] limey, yikes [11:44] slide, kubuntu has the Qt language [11:44] whats are the pro's of ubuntu and kubuntu? [11:44] indus: my guess is that because at the end of the day, its root who is giving you a user acces to wifi.. again thats my guess [11:44] indus: sudo passwd would set root's password, I guess. [11:44] just as 'passwd' would set yours. [11:44] sllide, lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [11:44] greezmunkey, i can go boot it into mint [11:44] cool so thats how i get a user root :) [11:45] :P [11:45] they have different desktop enviroments, sllide [11:45] lol [11:45] greezmunkey, same thing happens [11:45] let me login as root then [11:45] brb [11:45] slide, unfortunatly being C++ it doesn't communicate so well with other langages [11:45] sllide: different flavours and "native" applications ... that's one of the biggest questions of the internet right there [11:45] bazhang: am there [11:45] indus: why would you want to login as root? [11:45] limey, that definately points to the network then... [11:45] slide: if you have both installed you have all the advantages, only disadvantage is data size [11:45] slide, so I use ubutu which has gret python, perl etc interfaces [11:45] MenZa: I thought sudo is good enough to run apps as root? [11:45] sllide: you might want to see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kdegnome [11:45] limey, of course it could be hardware, HDD, etc as well [11:45] chaitu: it is. [11:45] chaitu: hence why it's used. root is not needed. or endorsed. [11:46] yeah that was my understanding too. Thanks :) [11:46] slide, gnome's object system is dynamic, kubutu's is static [11:46] limey, are these laptops, desktops, or what? [11:46] hi folks [11:46] slide, so accessing windows from a scipting language is akward [11:46] greezmunkey, server is desktop, the rest laptops and netbooks [11:47] iam root :D [11:47] Younder, lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [11:47] iam not i cant login as that [11:47] i am sparticus [11:47] Hi [11:47] ok new question [11:47] bazhang, no I'm finished [11:47] greezmunkey, imma go try some stuff and come back later. thanks for help [11:47] how to change network password [11:47] indus: there is no user as root in ubuntu, You can do sudo and then run any app with root priviliges [11:47] limey, ok. What is the wireless layout? Distance, etc? [11:48] i have problems with my radeon 7500 (thinkpad T40) since ubuntu 9.10 notifications and gnome-system-monitor are just showing black and white grissle [11:48] chaitu: ther is a root [11:48] chaitu: only, no password set yet [11:48] indus: umnnn intresting [11:48] !sudo [11:48] 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) [11:48] chaitu: there *is* a root user [11:48] chaitu: yea go to users and groups and voila :) [11:48] greezmunkey, it is wireless n, but most connect on G, but signal is good; 75-100% [11:48] heh yeah :) [11:48] Do you ubuntuers know how to setup Hydra TCH? Its a TAR.GZ file. [11:48] you can do sudo su and then you're root [11:49] limey, type this in a terminal, tell me the results..iwlist ra0 scanning [11:49] kling0n: That's neither advised nor supported. use sudo -i instead [11:49] replace ra0 with wlan0, sorry [11:49] i cant figure out how to login as one though :P [11:49] Younder: whats Qt for? [11:49] the widgets and stuff? [11:49] kling0n: I knew sudo would give you root priviliges, but didnt know we can login to ubuntu as root [11:49] bazhang, Qt is the KDE windows platform [11:49] greezmunkey, Interface doesn't support scanning. [11:49] chaitu: yae we can, its just some scare perpetrated by users :) [11:50] never did. always sudo here [11:50] There is no reason to log in as root. I have been using Ubuntu since 2004 and have never needed to log in as root. use sudo, it's more secure. [11:50] sllide, Qt is the KDE windows platform [11:50] yeah [11:50] oh [11:50] Younder, right? [11:50] ardchoille: iam tired of synaptic asking for password all ways [11:50] ardchoille: so [11:50] but nvm [11:50] question: when using colinux with ubuntu can i use apt-get or the synaptic, can i save changes or add programs? how about andlinux? [11:50] sllide, a c++ library for XWindows [11:50] ah [11:51] limey, that bites...Do you detect any other access points in your immediate area? [11:51] ok i have a question, in users and groups , there is option to random generate password, what is that and how do u know what is the password [11:51] i think i go with kubuntu [11:51] !ot | Younder sllide [11:51] Younder sllide: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [11:51] How do I tell apt and friends to avoid one package like plaque? (in other words, do NOT install it regardless of Recommends: for it by other packages) [11:51] do they have the same hardware support tho? [11:51] sllide, essentially the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu is that ubuntu uses gnome and kubuntu uses Qt [11:52] greezmunkey, they are all secured [11:52] ok :D [11:52] Younder: and sound stuff too [11:52] plague that is... can I mark non-installed package as held somehow? [11:52] Hi, is there an option in ubuntu to remove all packages I installed yesterday? [11:52] limey, what channels are they on, same as yours? [11:52] Younder: ubuntu uses gstreamer, kubuntu uses something else, hence the restricted-extras package being different [11:53] http://pastebin.com/d183149be [11:53] greezmunkey, http://pastebin.com/d183149be [11:53] nonix4_: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html see the section about negative priorities === kermit1 is now known as kermit [11:54] limey, no other cells? [11:54] jonathan__: look at /var/cache/apt/ which packages are created yesterday, them remove them. you can to it i a script too [11:55] greezmunkey, cells? === fabio_ is now known as ilusion [11:56] greezmunkey, imma reboot into xp, see how it fairs. brb. [11:56] limey, look at this one, compare it to yours: http://pastebin.com/f2ebe55c3 [11:57] question: when using colinux with ubuntu can i use apt-get or the synaptic, can i save changes or add programs? how about andlinux? [11:57] now this is one more thing that baffels me. There is an install cd for release 8.04 on cdimage.ubuntu.com. But since it doesn't support the ide controller in my sun system, I installed 6.06 instead and tried an upgrade. But I can not find a package repository for Sparc for that release. the archive sites only have packages for 6.06. [11:57] Thank you iceroot, found the dates [11:57] hi there need some info please can ubutu or linux have something like a terminal server? [11:57] Ramseize: it is unclear for me exactly what you're asking [11:57] !info jhon-the-rippere [11:57] Package jhon-the-rippere does not exist in karmic [11:57] !info jhon-the-ripper [11:57] Package jhon-the-ripper does not exist in karmic [11:57] yalu: use a newer ubuntu [11:58] aaron11: it's john [11:58] !info john | aaron11 [11:58] aaron11: john (source: john): active password cracking tool.

[11:58] kling0n, what i mean is that can i save changes, when i add applications and stuff [11:58] aaron11: we're all assuming your looking into software for hacking is for offensive securty checks. [11:58] aaron11, it's jack the ripper :) [11:59] yalu: chill. You're wanting to do a upgrade? [11:59] well, yes :-) [11:59] yalu: sudo update-manager -d [11:59] Younder: Is it posible to install from snapytech [11:59] yalu: gksudo update-manager -d [11:59] aaron11: look into backtracklinux [11:59] aaron11, no just spytech [12:00] can I use the scp command so that I copy a file, AND set its permission mode, user and group [12:00] SpaceGhostC2C: upgrade-managers fail, because of this. look. http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ . enter the dapper directory, then look at the hardy or karmic one. after 6.06 there is no powerpc or sparc [12:00] SpaceGhostC2C: I have that but it doesnt recondnise my wireless card [12:01] Ramseize: intuitively i'd say yes, but I am not sure what your setup is exactly.... are you dualbooting? [12:01] hey guys,how and from which site can i download the latest adobe reader 4 my ubuntu 9.10?Its not in the ubuntu software center [12:01] csaba: i think so, you'd have to read the man pages [12:01] adobe reader 4? [12:01] Oyoz: is your ubuntu 32bit? [12:01] ActionParsnip: I did read the man pages [12:02] yalu: sorry mate. I'm not really clued in on PPC [12:02] Isn't 9 the latest major version? [12:02] klasu_, im planning to use it for a live USB type of structure, like pendrive linux 2009 and pubuntu is offering, [12:02] Oyoz: adobe reader is up to 9.2 [12:02] Oyoz: look for the flashplugin-installer package [12:02] yes [12:02] csaba, you have sh so why not set it yourself? [12:02] kling0n, _, im planning to use it for a live USB type of structure, like pendrive linux 2009 and pubuntu is offering, [12:02] Oyoz: sorry... misread the question [12:02] csaba: not a sudoer?

[12:05] ActionParsnip, i thought so, i also experience sudden freezes, sudden logouts and sudden reboots [12:05] kling0n: adding a file to /etc/apt/preferences.d/ doesn't seem to make difference... how should I debug this, whether it is actually reading the file and so on? [12:05] sudo echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [12:05] Er how do I chmod 755 -r /folder/ ? Im dong somethign wrong..

[12:10] ActionParsnip i ran them in a terminal but they are still running i see no output [12:11] you won't [12:11] What ftpserver should i use for a client ftp server? i want one user to have access to a root folder and add users for their own folders under the root folder [12:11] let it run, its freeing up ram for you [12:11] kvj1993: what question? [12:11] does anyone know why notify-osd seems to reserve a space for the volume notification? [12:11] kcj1993: what question? [12:12] and i don't want the ftp users to have their own shell account [12:12] ActionParsnip, what is a normal use of memry for just the ubuntu system? [12:12] younder: does anyone know why notify-osd seems to reserve a space for the volume notification? [12:12] nonix4_: you could probably put a file inthere, but I'd guess the naming scheme is different... i'm sure there are other approaches, but /etc/apt/apt.conf is one that i'm *certain* will work [12:12] Younder: does anyone know why notify-osd seems to reserve a space for the volume notification? [12:13] wingzero: with full compiz and gnome desktop, about 400-500Mb i'd say [12:13] Synt-, use a restricted account [12:13] kcj1993, It isnt using notify-osd as far as I remember. [12:13] Hello, I've been using Karmic for the last some days and seems like as if its running slow than 8.04 which i was using earlier. How can tune it up to make it fast? [12:13] Hi All! [12:13] shushek: disable graphic effects [12:13] wingzero: it can be made less. mines using 495 with transmission running [12:14] kcj1993, becuase it's a higher priority notif [12:14] shushek: we need more information on your problem. As far as I know there isn't a single "Tune your windows" app for ubuntu. [12:14] Synt-, see rssh [12:14] I have a folder with jruby executables /usr/local/lib/jruby/bin, where I should add PATH = $PATH:/usr/local/lib/jruby/bin, so this jruby executables will be available to _ALL_ users? [12:14] ActionParsnip now it uses 672 mb of memory with the destkop effect all tunred OFF, i have no idea why it uses so much [12:15] shushek: you can diable desktop effects. [12:15] kcj1993, I saw it the first time, and no I don't [12:15] kostkon: but why would it do that if it's not even there? [12:15] kcj1993, what do you mean? [12:15] wingzero: run: top see whats going on [12:15] kcj1993, i assume that most of your notifs appear lower [12:15] kcj1993, It doesn't use notify-osd. It uses something else I believe. === JEEBcz is now known as JEEB [12:16] wingzero: have you got video drivers running ok? [12:16] kcj1993, and you can see there is a space between the notif and your panel [12:16] yes [12:16] I hate how it does that [12:16] kcj1993, that is because in the space only the high priority notif appear there, like the volume notif and some others [12:17] kcj1993, it's a feature. there is a way to disable it by installing a different ver of notify-osd [12:17] it's a very strange behaviour [12:17] kling0n: well... making that file /etc/apt/preferences (as documented on the page you mentioned) worked. Subdirectory either seems to have some rules on naming or maybe it isn't even used by default. [12:17] yes they are installed with the hardwaredrivers in the sytem menu [12:17] kcj1993, in notify-osd you cannot specify where a notification gets placed. This was made so that you have one place to look for notifications. [12:17] tik [12:17] Hi. Which package is supposed to provide libgcc_s.so.1? === mohamed is now known as Guest30325 [12:17] Well; I'm using an AMD Athlon 62 3600+ system with 512 RAM and 80 GB HDD; Nvidia F600 built in . Do you want to something else. [12:18] kostkon: I wouldn't call it a feature [12:18] ubuntu is getting worse [12:18] I've just installed karmic, and the network card can not be configured. can someone help me ? [12:18] ActionParsnip yes they are installed ok with the hardware drivers on the system menu [12:18] yay i got wine wokring and all check my desktop http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/7829/screenshotya.png [12:18] shushek, with that set up you need to disable desktop effects. [12:18] kcj1993, i'm saying it's a feature to signify that is not a bug [12:18] indus: i agree [12:18] nonix4_: manpages are generally your friend too... you can read more in man apt.conf [12:18] Younder: i want the ftp server to handle it's own userlist [12:19] gribouille, is the network card supported? [12:19] kcj1993: that notify osd never works [12:19] gribouille, what is the card? [12:19] Synt-, we all want things we can't have [12:19] indus, what do you mean? I like it. [12:19] ActionParsnip and SpaceGhostC2C , the problem was I forgot to end a line with ;; Actually, I forgot all about changing the file. Thanks for the hints! [12:19] and teh update manager pop up is stupid to say the least [12:19] so there is no ftp server that can do what i want? [12:19] and thats an understatement [12:19] indus, It's easy to code with and it's not all silly. [12:20] indus, then file a bug [12:20] SpaceGhostC2C, I installed hardy previously on the same machine, and it worked [12:20] lat: I'm glad. [12:20] !bugs >indus [12:20] indus, please see my private message [12:20] indus: i've had more problems with 9.10 than i've ever had with ubuntu [12:20] hello. Is it just me or the time to log into gnome is taking much longer than before? [12:20] bazhang: its filed already, and people are tired of commenting on it too [12:20] gribouille, You need to make sure that it's supported. [12:20] Synt-, you woud have to roll your own [12:20] bazhang: for the pop up update i mean [12:20] Synt-: yes you can have ftp with it's own userlist [12:20] indus, what exaclty is that link? [12:20] indus, complaining here wont change it [12:20] http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/quassel needs to be updated, 0.5.1 is out [12:20] yeah i know. just frustrating sometimes [12:21] AtionParsnip: i have a total of 8 gig of memory, does that have anything to do with it? i am running ubuntu 9.10 64-bit [12:21] Synt-: yes you can have ftp with it's own userlist: pure-ftpd is one example [12:21] i know i will go home and start my pc to see that pop up manager again argh [12:21] kling0n: i would love to see some samples of ftp servers [12:21] SpaceGhostC2C, how can I know ? [12:21] ActionParsnip: i have a total of 8 gig of memory, does that have anything to do with it? i am running ubuntu 9.10 64-bit [12:21] thanks [12:21] SpaceGhost; I understand your point there. However, would you be kind in advising like how much more RAM'd require if i want to maintain the graphic effect with performance, or any other sort of upgrade. [12:21] i was cpoying files from cd and openeind it i cant open my hd [12:21] Synt-: it has a gui admin tools as well :) [12:21] er cd dvd drive now [12:21] griboulle google ubuntu network cards. [12:22] g0d: sudo eject === SpaceGhostC2C is now known as SpaceGhostC2C|AF [12:22] i loved 8.04 [12:22] wingzero: no should be fine [12:22] SpaceGhostC2C, I told you it worked on hardy === SpaceGhostC2C|AF is now known as SpaceGhostC2CAFK [12:22] or 7.04 rather [12:22] New problem. top shows that Xorg is taking up 60% to 90% of my CPU power. What could be causing this? [12:22] Fooding myself. I'll come back soon. [12:22] wingzero: much of the "used" ram will be disk cache to make your slow hard drives access faster [12:22] lat flash maybe [12:22] thank you kling0n that worked [12:22] lat: have you installed video drivers [12:22] lat: graphical effects typically ... you might want to check /var/log/Xorg.0.log [12:22] what should be the ideal permission for ~/public_html [12:22] ? [12:23] g0d: you're welcome [12:23] indus, it was a good version, less thorny than carmic [12:23] kling0n web gui? [12:23] Synt-: pureadmin [12:23] kcj1993, check #10 here http://www.webupd8.org/2009/10/things-to-fix-tweak-after-installing.html if you want [12:23] ftab: USERNAME:www-data [12:23] SpaceGhostC2CAFK, what's that ? [12:23] ActionParsnip, if i do free -m, i see total 1996 used 7716 free 279 and cached 6902 is that normal? [12:23] Younder: i like the look and all, but kinda disappointing with new approach [12:23] too much change maybe [12:23] indus, but carmic keepes us busy [12:23] nvm [12:23] ftab, Mine would be user SpaceGhost group www-data [12:24] Younder: its K armic [12:24] ftab chmod 755 ~/public_html [12:24] SpaceGhostC2CAFK, I have three cards : Broadcom NetXtreme gigabit ethernet PCI Express [12:24] indus, right Karmic [12:24] kling0n, no X running on the target server :P [12:24] SpaceGhostC2CAFK, so what should be the exact command to add ftab to group www-data [12:24] indus: can't you just remove the notifier if it bothers you so? [12:24] I'm afk now guys. PM me I'll be back in 5 minutes [12:24] Synt-: does target server have x installed? [12:25] ftab: sudo usermod -G www-data ftab [12:25] kling0n: so how do i know whats available then [12:25] Synt-: then you could just ssh -Y to it and run the app from there [12:25] kling0n, nope, pure server version of ubuntu [12:25] kostkon: thanks [12:25] wingzero: if you co-relate that with the output from: top you'll see whats going on [12:25] kling0n: what the hell was wrong with the old icon [12:26] ActionParsnip, I tried to restore Cntl-Alt-Backspace by adding some lines to .xinitrc, but that cause resolution problems, so I removed them. [12:26] Synt-: I think you could just install libx11-6 to have the client libs on the server [12:26] lat: fine but have you configured video drivers? [12:26] Synt-: else, you could make a mirror setup locally and copy the config [12:26] SpaceGhostC2CAFK, what about the sites in that folder, ? I mean there permsision should also be set to 755? [12:26] true [12:26] !offtopic | indus [12:26] indus: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [12:26] ActionParsnip, no. [12:27] lat: then your cpu is making the image, not your video card (most likely). [12:27] lat: can you give the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [12:27] imagemagic? [12:28] hi all, is there anyone who can assist me as to why the ubuntu keyring CONSTANTLY asks for password at boot for ubuntu one client and evolution alarm notifier, this seems to be a karmic specific issue, very annoying, thanks [12:28] Younder: imagemagick is amazing :) [12:28] Younder: as is mogrify [12:28] ActionParsnip: I second that. Both counts.

[12:30] lat: check output from " glxinfo | grep -A 2 rendering" [12:30] shushek: I'd want you to buy a video card first. Something reasonable. Then at least a gig of ram.

I guess its the old hardware that is causing this problem. I'd take your advise SpaceGhost. Thank you. [12:32] shushek: You can make ubuntu run faster by using LXDE or Xubuntu. It uses less resources. [12:33] just installed ubuntu 9.10. Display resolution is only 800x600 or worse. I found a display driver for the integrated video adapter on my dell, but I can't find any instructions on installing it.

[12:34] mrXX: it will be different in webkit based browsers too [12:34] Xubuntu, I tried that, but since am less acquaintance with interface, so i prefer the GNOME. How can i get LXDE? [12:34] shushek: sudo apt-gte install lxde [12:34] shushek: you get the idea [12:34] shushek, what version of ubuntu now [12:35] karmic 9.10 [12:35] shushek, install lubuntu-desktop [12:35] mrXX: you can't really, its how IE reads and interprets then displays the data unless you can find reg / config hacks [12:35] bazhang, he's using karmic. He wants it to run faster on 512 ram and some onboard video. I suggested LXDE because it's simply awesome. [12:35] ActionParsnip lol, i cant do that [12:36] mrxx, then you're sol. [12:36] SpaceGhostC2C, which is why I said the package lubuntu-desktop (lxde) [12:36] mrXX: then you are stuck [12:36] greezmunkey, i figured it out. you still there? [12:37] bazhang, Well met.

Also, its name should appear in /etc/init.d on a script. The MTA loading should also time out (if this is like what I've sene on debian systems) [13:03] So the boot should continue after some minutes...

[13:08] flaps, you can mount fat drives. [13:08] flaps: I've not heard of exfat. you mount the fat32 and fat16 drives with the type vfat [13:08] zanshin: maybe you need a later version, log a bug either way [13:09] SpaceGhostC2C: i think thats fat32 though. windows 7 can only format my usb drive to ntfs on exfat [13:09] or* [13:09] ActionParsnip: Ok [13:10] Flaps: exfat is a joke.. extremely FAT. Because FAT32 wastes about 30% of you disk space [13:10] flaps: there is no real support yet [13:10] fbianconi, in this case i should use 'f' option in order to fix partition order, isn't? sorry, i'm just afraid of deleting existing data on sdb. [13:10] Younder: exfat is a real filesystem it's fat64. [13:10] ntfs ftw [13:11] so how do i backup my music from windows and then use it with ubuntu?

Ubuntu does not by default support exfat yet [13:13] flaps: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/18794/ [13:13] use ext3 or use NTFS, dont use exfat if you don't have to. Is that clear enough? [13:13] so theres NO way for me to put my mp3s on my usb drive, install ubuntu over windows and then use the mp3s later [13:13] wow... [13:14] flaps: with the current kernel, no [13:14] well thats shit [13:14] lol [13:14] fbianconi, hey... and if i enter w afterwards... do i loose data? [13:14] flaps: if you have a lan, copy the data over that it'll be faster [13:14] Help, my computer stucks on boot. Now i have purged away MTA from starting, but the problem still remains.

[13:17] seeing what packages I need also if I mess up it is no big deal [13:17] flaps: boot into a liveCD, use gparted to reformat the flash drive to whatever you wish, fat32 being the most compatible. [13:17] syrius the best choice would be to vm the ubuntu iso if you want to test a super dwarfed version. [13:17] fbianconi, after 'f' it says "nothing to do. ordering is correct already". so i guess it stays as is (sdb2) [13:17] flaps: sure it can read and write to it too [13:17] srtfm98@yahoo.com [13:17] psypher246: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/internet/C/faq-keyring.html any good? [13:18] SpaceGhostC2C: i CANT format it in ubuntu. i dont have ubuntu installed yet. thats why i need to back up in the first place [13:18] flaps, don't boot into a livecd. Just install gparted in gnome. Or in ubuntu you can google windows reformat tool [13:18] dwarfed? SpaceGhostC2C [13:18] you mean like a beta or alpha release? [13:18] ki4cgp: i guess that might work, thanks [13:18] SpaceGhostC2C: this is ridiculous [13:18] syrius, running any os as a vm is like taking your computer and cutting it in half.

[13:35] delly: worth a try i guess, its free [13:35] Anyone here? :) [13:35] ActionParsnip: noacpi did not do a damn thing :( [13:35] KOgnitiva: Yupp [13:35] koponanest la men den yuos all bamnte [13:36] Would it be wrong for me to make a distro of ubuntu called jewbuntu? But have it use all the cutting edge software? It's not a bad racist thing, there is a christian ubuntu and others. [13:36] ActionParsnip: sorry i can see u busy, but if you have any ideas I am open to it, this seems to be a bug in karmic and if so i will log it immediatly [13:36] I am a little jewish. [13:36] lol SpaceGhostC2C jew the it can't be free [13:36] delly: hmm, well family 4 is ipx, i'll have to check on my system if its the same as the post as thats from a debian box [13:36] psypher246: seems so, makes sense [13:36] doolittlework, that was bad. [13:36] SpaceGhostC2C, yes, it would [13:37] lol [13:37] psypher246: could use ndisgtk in the meantime [13:37] ActionParsnip: the problem is not with wireless at all [13:37] But I am jewish, and it's not because you don't have to pay for it, but because it's using the newest tech. [13:37] Younder:thanks for your help man [13:37] psypher246: crossed wires in brain, sorry [13:37] Zteam, np [13:37] ok went to install the nouveau-kernel-source, but didnt know it was already installed, now when i do apt-get update and safe-upgrade it errors, how do i fix it?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [13:38] ActionParsnip: the problem is that ubuntu one and evolution require you to enter the keyreing password on boot every time, and according to posts this is not supposed to happen, and i have done the uggestions of deleting my keyring password, which i didn;t think would work since it's a brandnew install without having diffrent password fort login and keyring and i have tried rteinstalling libpas gnome keyring [13:38] oldude67: run sudo aptitude install -f [13:38] cause air is free [13:38] Hi guys is there any way for making flash based web site in ubuntu ?

[13:39] Mine wasn't racist. [13:39] python_root, yes [13:40] google it! [13:40] Younder: How [13:40] KOgnitiva: I have been doing that for past 2 days [13:40] python_root, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash [13:40] ok :) [13:40] KOgnitiva : tired [13:41] I've been googling my problem for 10 min [13:41] if anybody using here xchat has experienced lost trayicon [13:41] !google [13:41] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [13:41] this seems to restore it: xchat --existing --command="set gui_tray 0" ; xchat --existing --command="gui apply" ; xchat --existing --command="set gui_tray 1" xchat --existing --command="gui apply" [13:41] python_root: flash is proprietary to adobe and they dont make linux software afaik [13:41] Thing is google stops working if you put "free" in your search >.< I want free domain name! [13:41] xchat --existing --command="gui show" can unminimise it === pybeginner is now known as slaxofon [13:41] hi, does an usb-creator exist which uses squashfs 4.0 instead of 3.1? [13:42] and which version of usb-creator would that be? [13:42] ActionParsnip: i am basically a web designer i feel like my freedom has been stolen [13:42] python_root: yep, adobe love doing that, they suck [13:42] ActionParsnip: I got a Job to do i will have to install MS and Adobe CS again ? [13:42] python_root, try to look up swish and then see if wine can run it. [13:43] python_root, use Gimp! [13:43] python_root, http://my.opera.com/area42/blog/2007/01/04/flash-devolopment-with-linux [13:43] SpaceGhostC2C : no it becomes messy with wine [13:43] SpaceGhostC2C : gimp for animation ? [13:43] KOgnitiva, there is no webservices that provide free domain names.. but there are free subdomains [13:43] python_root: i guess, you can install it with cedega or crossover and it may work [13:43] python_root, if your computer is good enough, VM windows. [13:43] python_root: they are paid for software though, it may run with wine too [13:44] !appdb | python_root [13:44] python_root, you might need wine though [13:44] python_root: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [13:44] Thanks Drellok! :) [13:44] ActionParsnip i've run the top command, but i don;t really see anyhting that takes a lot of memory, [13:44] then its most likely disk cache, unused ram is wasted ram [13:44] YounderL that was a rather obvious statement that he'd need wine. [13:44] python_root: there are some versions of flash that runs under wine i belive === _Sharker is now known as Sharker [13:45] Zteam: I am used to work in CS3 and CS$ [13:45] python_root, mind you flash is still propriaty software (adobe) [13:45] Zteam: CS4 [13:46] I liked Adobe .......... But i hate them too for this reason [13:46] hi all, does anyone know how I can install python3 _not_ python3.1 from the repos? [13:46] python_root, there isn't any linux software, you have three choices. one is to use wine, the other is to use windows, and the last it to tell them you cannot do this job because it isn't in accordance with your beliefs in open source software. [13:46] Installing Windows again man big work [13:47] python_root, I've met 7 year olds who can install windows and update fully. [13:47] python_root, it's a time issue mostly. [13:47] SpaceGhostC2C: I can do that too But my disk space is only 80gb k [13:47] python_root: well you can try this but it is'nt completed and it problably never will be [13:47] SpaceGhostC2C: thats my big prob [13:48] python_root: http://f4l.sourceforge.net/ [13:48] python_root, then be very careful and only install what you need in windows. [13:48] clang: 'sudo apt-get install python3.0' maybe? [13:48] wg 30 [13:48] hi, how can i open .mo files? [13:48] fbianconi, thanks, somehow missed that [13:49] My ubuntu is about 20 gigs total, uncluding home directory. I've been on this ubuntu install for two years now. [13:49] Can any one help me with cdega [13:49] fbianconi, the latest is python 3.1 [13:49] howdy folks [13:49] cedega [13:49] For installing Adobe CS [13:49] python_root, cedega don't you have to pay for that? [13:50] Younder: yes but clang didn't want that [13:50] python_root, You can do it in wine. I've done flash and photoshop. I have licenses because I went to school and they gave me them. [13:50] i get this error when ssh-ing in /usr/bin/xauth: error in locking authority file ~/.Xauthority [13:50] and I can't forward any of my X11 [13:50] Azeotrope, are you trying to start an X application? [13:51] Azeotrope, remove that file. It's not a special one. === eli_ is now known as Elirips [13:51] I wanted python3 cos python-yaml doesn't support python3.1 [13:51] Azeotrope, remove it then reconnect. [13:51] ok.. [13:51] it still fails to import with python3.0 :s [13:51] python_root: don't use cedega, it's a pile of crap [13:51] fbianconi, there is a huge divide between 2.6 and 3. They are incompatible. between different versions of 3 it is irrellevant and you might as wel get the latest. [13:52] python_root: if you want commercial wine support use crossover [13:52] clang: any reason why you can't use python 2.x [13:52] CShadowRun: Crossover [13:52] SpaceGhostC2C, I could, but I'm trying to move over with new projects [13:52] SpaceGhostC2C: same error [13:52] python_root: yup, crossover. [13:52] more trouble than it's worth it seems [13:53] clang, wait for support to happen. It has a bit of a delat. [13:53] Azeotrope, you removed the file? rm ! [13:53] i have set up postfix+amavis+spamassassin+maildrop+dovecot and looks like only spam is getting through (and goes to the spam folder), ham doesn't seem to appear anywhere. any ideas? [13:53] Azeotrope, you removed the file? rm -rf ~/.Xauthority [13:53] SpaceGhostC2C: yes, i removed it [13:53] SpaceGhostC2C, probably should, but I will miss dictionary comps [13:54] clang: Just wait, I think it will support. [13:55] is it better to use /mnt/ or /media for automatically mounting drives, (raid drive in this case) ?? [13:56] SpaceGhostC2C: i had to restard sshd to too. it works now. Thank you.

But 9.10 is still bad so i dont want it, many things doesnt work there [14:11] does 9.10 encrypts swap if you choose home encryption? i made the swap be encrypted luks-style because i didn't knew that. can i delete the entry in cryptab? [14:11] DarkKnight, yes karmic is a bit twitchy, but install it all the same. There was a new kernel update today that should fix most of the problems [14:12] dd if=/foo | gzip -9 > ~/backup.gz [14:12] adjust names and compression levels accordingly to needs [14:12] Hi guys. I need some advise here. I have just installed ubuntu 9.04 on an EEE PC 900.

[14:12] Younder: stil doesnt working :\ is there any possibility to use 9.10 pulse in 9.04? [14:12] my browser firefox is getting freeze.. does anyone know any other browser name???? [14:12] DarkKnight, just make sure you have only ONE python version [14:12] DigitalKiwi: partimage can do it for you, it can even put an image back on a partition (or another system) ;) [14:13] !browser | ajaibeh [14:13] ajaibeh: Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) === BluesKaj is now known as ok [14:13] thank you [14:13] DarkKnight, yes [14:13] CC13 USB TV card?

[14:14] aww, that factoid was disappointing :( [14:14] DarkKnight, just remove old versions [14:14] CC13 but yea, google it :) [14:15] cc13: i found one at best buy that was usb and had coax and rca inputs [14:15] DigitalKiwi, you'll probably have an internet connection too, so you can install the partimage on the live system as well [14:15] besides my command is simpler than installing partimage and running whatever command it's going to make me run ;) KISS [14:15] DarkKnight, and DON'T install version 3.x [14:15] kekale: not necessarily [14:15] Younder: yes, i have 2.62 [14:15] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.

[14:19] but still, dd + gzip/bzip > partimage in terms if simplicity and guarantee of having tools easily available [14:19] blueskaj, I've installed tv time. the program runs very well. But the DEVICE is not properly installed... [14:19] DigitalKiwi, why limit yourself to a certain subset of live cd's when doing recovery? Just use what's available. [14:19] DarkKnight, the sound engine in gento is fine [14:20] Younder: but i want to have ubuntu 9.04 :) [14:20] kekale: what's available is what I make available, and systemrescuecd is one of them :P [14:20] pol-ar, have a look here: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=de&ie=UTF-8&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/saa7134&prev=_t&twu=1 [14:20] pol-ar, ok I misunderstood , sorry [14:20] DarkKnight, i am not sure what your problem is, nut is probaly not there [14:20] what kind of nut? [14:21] pol-ar, try to modprobe saa7134 with different card parameter (card=106,card=107,card=148) [14:21] pol-ar, you can find corresponding numbers here http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.saa7134 [14:21] Younder: i need pulseaudio and everything with sound from ubuntu 9.10 (where my sound card works) in 9.04(where my sound card doesnt work) [14:22] i inserted an usb drive and it shows me this Can't mount file [14:22] !Can't mount file [14:22] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:22] !mount [14:22] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [14:23] DarkKnight, have you tried 'sudo apt-get install alsa'? [14:23] Younder: alsa is the newest version [14:23] I have phpmyadmin installed on ubuntu server 9.10, and when I try to export, it logs me out and changes my phpbb settings. i think its a cookie issue, but how do I check for errors? or clear the cookies via SSH?

[14:25] Yes [14:26] python_root: did you use the safetly remove hardware functionality or did you just rip it out? [14:26] DarkKnight, haven't tried that, youare on your own [14:26] Hellu [14:26] ola [14:26] ActionParsnip: But now it is not detected in that too [14:26] hi... i want to know....

[14:28] i'm trying to mount it with fstab, i can mount it found with mount /dev/mapper/longstringofstuff /mnt/500gb ; but when i tried to do it with fstab, i put 'reiserfs' as a guess hoping that would work -- i don't really know if it's the correct filesystem or not [14:28] python_root: you can try foremost to recover the data, or you may be able to make the disk a single partiton like it was [14:28] DarkKnight, if you do contact the ubuntu developement group. They might help you fic bugs. [14:28] pol-ar: on linux and osx, nothing is written to disk until you safely remove [14:28] so maybe you just rip out your pendrive, the only thing is gonna happen you'll keep the 'ghost' copies of your .docs [14:28] no big deal. [14:28] ActionParsnip i need no data from it [14:28] python_root: i'd go for foremost personally, remember: gracefully remove usb devices or it WILL happen again [14:28] pol-ar: so if you yank it without doing that, the data will likely not be written at all [14:28] I want it to work even blank [14:28] ActionParsnip: A week or so back you had a link to solve a sound mute on boot problem, do you still have that to hand that you could tell me [14:28] pol-ar: do not assume that everything is like windows [14:28] python_root: then use gparted to make a partition on the device and format it as you need [14:28] DarkKnight, https://lists.ubuntu.com [14:28] right, maco. didn't know that. thanks for the info :D [14:29] DJones: sure [14:29] pol-ar: did i lose data this way my first time using a mac? yes.

I am working to install OpenXchange. I'm trying to get up to speed with aptitude and am having a package issue. OpenXchange wants to see mysql5.0, instead of 5.1.

Are there any options, or am I looking in vain?) [14:59] erUSUL : ok the link is quite confusing. i'm using ext4 here and i'm looking for software similar to ' recuva ' that can give me gui and list of data that has been erased. [14:59] trism, RUB_DEFAULT="Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1" ?

[15:00] npat: all netbooks have smaller screens than you describe [15:00] bradpitt: probably nothing that easy exist in linux.. the closest i can think is "photorec" in testdisk package [15:00] bradpitt: there is a step by step how to in its homepage. [15:00] if u blood throw it up [15:00] npat: that might be nitpicking though... as far as the rest of your requirements go, it's still a bit tricky [15:01] npat: by a dell with ubuntu preinstalled ? [15:01] I've removed for error the bottom bar of the desktop How can I restore it? [15:01] BluesKaj: yeah, I haven't tried it yet though, seems like a great solution if it works though [15:01] buy* [15:01] egonw: can you boot a live cd on that system ? [15:01] npat: as far as "out of the box" support goes you are kind of hosed, as almost all new wireless chipsets require the restricted drivers which are supplied seperately from the main distribution. [15:02] does del make something like ASUS EEE PC 1101HA (similar in dimensions, batery life, etc)? [15:02] npat: so it'll be quite difficult to find a netbook whose wifi works without you having to make an extra download [15:02] trism, I might try that on our laptop. Wife prefers to boot into windows ,..unfortumately she's not a linux fan [15:02] npat: yeah, have a look at the dell adamo. They're very pricey but they're compact & useful [15:03] erUSUL: Thanks again; I'm off. Take case. [15:03] care [15:05] DasEi: I guess so... until this morning it was a working jaunty system :) ... ok, thanx for now...

[15:09] and there are lots of people saying it doesnt work in the forums... is there a brand that is more likely to work with linux?

[16:25] Fatb0y: that'll allow you to define a range [16:25] Fatb0y: whether or not you should use that depends on your network setup [16:25] I notice that printing a PDF from the cmdline with "lp -o sides=two-sided-short-edge file.pdf" prints the same stuff as sides=two-sided-long-edge . But two-sided-short-edge does print correctly in the pdf viewer. [16:25] Fatb0y: read about ip notation [16:26] is logrotate setup on ubuntu by default ?

Wish I had better info. [16:26] mmm [16:26] Does "lp" use a different program than "Document Viewer 2.28.1" to print the pdf? [16:26] Fatb0y: Use a different number then >_> [16:26] Fatb0y: go read about CIDR notation so you know what you'r doing [16:27] okay i will see what it says thanks [16:27] Hi there people, do you know how I can know the logged people on my system?

[16:31] how do i enable gnome-globalmenu or awn-manager?? i installed both, but i'm not able to enable either of them [16:32] it works as root, but with the same .bashrc it doesnt work as a user, any tips? [16:32] hey_joe, what's root's shell? [16:32] in /etc/passwd? [16:32] hey_joe: Tip #1: Tell us how _exactly_ are you trying to enable that. [16:33] crap, never mind. [16:33] uhm.. with the .bashrc aliases? [16:33] join #carioca [16:33] however the funny thing is, the users .bashrc is the same as roots.. [16:33] yet colors only work as root [16:33] i.e. (alias ls = ls --color=auto) [16:34] as the users, does ls --color=auto work? [16:34] terminal settings? [16:34] uberspaced, no.. [16:34] but its in the .bashrc [16:34] hey_joe: export|grep TERM [16:34] checking in again for my query ? [16:34] are those same on both [16:34] hey_joe, so, if you, as a regular user, running /bin/bash, ls --color=auto doesn't work? [16:35] ah hum. my bad.. uberspaced, your right.. wrong shell set [16:35] XD [16:35] make sure users have read on .bashrc too. [16:35] how do i enable gnome-globalmenu or awn-manager?? i installed both, but i'm not able to enable either of them [16:35] uberspaced, actually.. bash is the default shell for the user in /etc/passwd, but only after running /bin/bash do the colors work.. [16:35] whats up with that? [16:36] anyone know where the tab complete config is? I try to use tab completion when using sqlite3 to open a file and it doesn't work [16:36] did you log back in? [16:36] brontos, tab completion is not a "global" thing [16:36] it's an "application" thing. [16:36] hey_joe, log out, log back in with the user. [16:37] uberspaced... i did [16:37] bah, i cannot adjust my screen resolution [16:37] or test it on one of the terminals, like ctrl + alt + f1 [16:37] let me reboot it, its not a local machine [16:37] hey_joe, reboot should NOT be needed. [16:37] i know my monitor supports a higher resolution than what gnome is telling me i can [16:37] racarter, check to see what driver X is using. [16:37] there may be a chance it doesn't support the higher resolution. [16:37] Does anybody know somthing about a bug that hangs up the whole system with an kernel.log entry something like "NVRM: Xid (.........."

[16:40] oh, and what driver is it? [16:40] because you can "man " and see what it supports... [16:40] uberspaced, NVIDIA [16:40] racarter, do a "man nvidia" and read up :-D [16:41] uberspaced, it never came back from my reboot after recompiling, initrd problem I am sure.. will test bash solution when i get home thx [16:41] whats the difference between generic & server kernel? am building a file server at home.. [16:41] how do i enable awn-manager?? [16:41] hey_joe, d'oh. np [16:41] sienomar: server has PAE so if you need 4GiB of RAM on 32bit, thatll work [16:41] ha, there is no entry for man nvidia [16:41] sienomar, server doesn't have preemption, generic is more optimized for desktop usage. [16:41] sienomar, i didn't there was a "server" kernel, i think its just the ISO of ubuntu.. the installer includes a gui for lamp/other things ... [16:42] aa okey [16:42] hey_joe: it does have a different kernel [16:42] racarter, and you're sure that 'nvidia' is the name of the driver in your dorg.conf ? [16:42] there is a server kernel? [16:42] yes [16:42] uberspaced: preemption? [16:42] well snap, would it help with playing movies over the network off of a raid5 array? [16:42] cause its choopy. :-( [16:42] uberspaced, yes [16:42] Does anybody know something about a bug that hangs up the whole system with an kernel.log entry something like "NVRM: Xid (.........." [16:42] although so is all software raid i am sure. [16:43] sienomar, preemtion is when kernel code can cause other kernel code to get off the processor [16:43] *preemption [16:43] Is it possible to install ubuntu onto a hard drive in a usb enclosure, and then put that hard drive into another laptop? [16:43] alexandre__: run "awn" that should start awn, You can access awn manger from settings in menu [16:43] vis, I don't see a reason why not... [16:44] would there be any problem with it not installing appropriate drivers etc? === root__ is now known as abort [16:44] assuming you did a correct install on that drive, like boot stuff, grub stuff etc [16:44] it should at least "boot". [16:44] the resolution I am seeking is specified in the xorg.conf for the monitor at the default depth... [16:45] and then I can work from there I guess [16:45] unless the installer detected specific differences between hardware stuff [16:45] what is the reason I cannot select this resolution? is there anyway to force the selection of this resolution without a gui tool? [16:45] racarter, then comment out that line, copy it, and just have one entry for the resolution [16:45] then /etc/init.d/gdm restart . [16:45] it also helps to have an ssh session into the box.

[17:07] llutz: yes, the layout is the trouble. its hard to find what youre looking for === p is now known as Guest57437 [17:07] gcAlan, you want to configure your video card [17:08] yes [17:08] maco: use search function [17:08] mMezquitale, I disagree. Someone told me how to RTFM on my first day. I took about 15 minutes to get a handle on the format. [17:08] hello mmezquitgale [17:08] llutz: im aware *now*...its been >3 years, but at first its hard [17:08] rtfm++ [17:08] where can I start if vesa leaves me with out of memory errors and the openchrome driver crashes after bringing up the cursor [17:08] hey, i just installed grub, but when I reboot it takes me to a grub command line... how do I fix it? [17:08] !rtfm | uberspaced [17:08] uberspaced: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [17:09] maco: really? wow. [17:09] naples_guy: llutz mentioned search function. so you know, if you type a / then some text, you can search a manpage [17:09] also what packages do I need to enable text based install in a live cd? [17:09] hello mmezquitale - looking for the right driver... [17:09] maco, I have been using ubuntu for four years. But I read manpages from the first day. [17:09] what does jfgi stand for? :P [17:09] trans_err, you need the alternate install cd. [17:09] uberspaced: yes, really. we try to be *friendly* here, not elitist jerks [17:09] trijntje: just ****ing google it [17:09] trijntje: its not very nice [17:09] hello guys. im running 9.10 on dell E6400 with intel video card. Im facing problems with firefox because it crashes when i try to maximize a video on youtube [17:10] what are the packages that enable the text based install SpaceGhostC2C [17:10] maco: When I use it i mean RTM I'll remove the F if it'll keep your panties in order. [17:10] maco: haha, wow. So, when somebody asks how to do something that's clearly in a man page that you've told them about, and you use that acronym, that's elitist? [17:10] I'm in guatemala and have a less than 56k connection [17:10] kde-users can still use "man:" in konqueror if they prefer ;) [17:10] maco, I see, thats no nice at all. Thanks [17:10] BUBUNTU, try starting firefox in a terminal and look for error messages [17:10] trans_err, your question cannot be answered, you need to download the ubuntu alternate install iso [17:10] uberspaced: if the person is having trouble making sense of the manpage, yes. [17:10] gcAlan, ok so now you know what to ask for, I've never had problem using the "Hardware Drivers" applet to configure my video card, i use nVidia though [17:11] My wireless card is not detected by ubuntu on my computer. this is strange because it WAS detected on another ubuntu computer. can anyone help? [17:11] naples_guy, simply put if you don't want the options we present, you're on your own. [17:11] but I'm making a live CD-- surely there are a set of packages used to enable text based install-- I am remastering an existing live install cd [17:11] BUBUNTU, what version of flash are you using? [17:11] SpaceGhostC2C: the point is you are supposed to *help* people, not just send them away. if someone needs hand-holding, this is not a deficiency in that person. [17:11] trans_err, that makes a lot more sense. [17:11] naples_guy: i'm sorry they're being jerks. [17:12] yes mm - looking for that. supposedly in system, but i can't locate... [17:12] biggerfisch: is it detected at all 'lspci' [17:12] maco: he asked about how to search for sites that are manpages. [17:12] maco: quite literally the answer is google.

[17:21] LuciusMare: use something like pand to make ubuntu accessable by bt-network, use ssh/vnc whatever on your wm-device to control [17:21] possible to startx with mouse and keyboard support from tty (shell prompt) [17:22] gatto_, you want to start an X-session from the tty? [17:22] gatto_: do you mean /etc/init.d/gdm (start | restart | stop) [17:22] ? [17:22] gatto_: your question makes no sense [17:22] pongar, did you manual install the nvidia drivers or use aptitude to install nvidia-glx package? [17:22] yes [17:22] gatto_: type "startx" [17:23] Has anyone ever used the Ubuntu rdesktop client to respond to a Windows remote assistance request? [17:23] gatto_, you can do it many ways. The simplest is to do this command: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [17:23] if i try starx command then mouse and keybord are don't work [17:23] so easy and work?:D [17:23] gatto_: then your x-configuration is broken [17:23] BUBUNTU, you can try installing flash from the official site.

[17:29] Adam75, if you have a server you will want to install openssh server, this way you can have your files stored in your server and you can synchronize your files in your laptop, if you ever lose your laptop you have your files in your server [17:29] G14, why are you using hardy? [17:29] Perfect opportunity to ask for this solution as well [17:29] !hardy [17:29] Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu.

[17:29] on 9.04 and .10, when I install, the mouse pointer i use is always glitched for some reason, looks awkward. [17:29] anyone know of a good list of keyboard shortcuts in Karmic? [17:30] G14, when I had Windows 7 I had sucess dual-booting with Ubuntu 8.04 although on grub it show up as Windows Vista (Loader) [17:30] bcurtiswx_: keyboard shortcuts are application specific.

[17:31] G14 I sent you a private message. [17:31] Adam75, putty is for windows though, I'm sure there is a way of setting up ssh access to your machine using putty, I'm talking more about ubuntu on your server and ubuntu on your laptop, i use unison to synchronize my laptop and server over the internet using ssh [17:31] so the two questions I've trouble with, 8.04: Not booting with 7 after Wubi install; 9.04/9.10: Glitchy mouse cursor, anyone else had this, or know why? [17:32] blck: or just do it all on one line smartctl -A /dev/sda | grep -E 'Load_Cycle_Count|193' | tail -n 1 | egrep -o .{5}$ > /.conky/hdd_spin.txt [17:32] hmm I know I did something to it and made it work that wish I could remember what I did to it to make it work but I believe it may have something to do with Grub show it as Windows Vista and not 7 [17:32] ubuntu [17:32] G14: you should check my message.

[17:41] I couldn't join from Opera IRC client had to download xchat, strange [17:41] blck: odd.. it works on my machine [17:41] !paste [17:41] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [17:42] BUBUNTU, type dmesg in a terminal and print its output in pastebin [17:42] tobiasz: phoronix has a whole suite of benchmarks, maybe there is a usefull one in there? [17:42] Slart LjL as I try to join from Opera it says something about stupid dcc joke or something [17:42] blck: here.. http://pastebin.com/m74b2670c [17:42] I'm looking for a utility that lets me tail my logs in a window (or set of windows). Any suggestions? And yes, I know tail in a terminal window works... :-p [17:42] does anyone know how to make a custom wallpaper slide just like the one in ubuntus one of space [17:42] tobiasz: then follow the instructions [17:42] Hello. My dad is using Jaunty (9.04) and, today, just did and update and lost his internet connection (non-Wifi). The internet works in the rest of the house. Has anyone else reported problems? Anyone know what happened? [17:42] tobiasz: sounds like one of those dcc explot things.. aren't there instructions? [17:42] LjL I have the newest possible firmware and I've changed the port [17:42] tobiasz: then ask for a test as the instructions say! [17:43] asimismo, have you tried "tail |more" or "tail| less" [17:43] mMezquitale: Thanks, that works with terminal server, yes, but this is a specific case of responding to the windows "remote assistance request" which is a rdesktop-like connection, except that it connects you to the user's desktop directly, like vnc, rather than logging you in to a new session [17:43] I have a script that I am trying to edit and it is behaving wierdly!! Then I noticed that, while using vim, each line had a carret symbol and a capital M after it... is there a way wo get rid of those? I am suspecting that they are the problem [17:43] besides that; any wonder why after kernel upgrade some fonts are big as hell in amarok, kadu and some other aps? [17:44] acicula so chromeos with cloud computing uses lvm? [17:44] it sound like it does [17:44] syrius: wut? [17:44] Slart: Get it! The $ in the end was missing, thanks for help [17:44] blck: ahh.. you're welcome [17:44] Anyone have advice on making an SD Card plugged into a USB SD reader bootable, because I assume it's like a flash drive to Windows... [17:44] on Windows 7 right now.. [17:44] when i click on awn in accesories... error:screen isn't composited.plese run compiz(fusion) or another compoisting manager...i want to see some taskbar pl help me [17:45] G14: fdisk the thing and set it to bootable [17:45] chromeos is just an os that exclusively is an os completely as cloud computing acicula [17:45] then install grub on it. [17:45] syrius: i dont see how those three go together but its also pretty offtopic for this channel [17:45] ot | g14 [17:45] ot? [17:45] !ot | g14 [17:45] g14: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [17:45] om26er: Is it? [17:45] ._.; [17:45] I am using gftp to transfer a perl script via ssh2 too a solaris server, when I open up the file on there there is a ^m at the end of every line [17:45] om26er, he is on subject. He asked how to make a bootable sdcard for ubuntu. [17:46] mmalleis: dos2unix [17:46] In ubuntu it does not have the characters [17:46] mMezquitale http://pastebin.com/m53e62708 [17:46] or turn on binary sending. [17:46] ok. [17:46] is ubuntu just converting it? It is on binary [17:46] rafiq: if you go to preferences, appearance, Visual effects and click on Normal.. what happens? get any error messages? if not.. try awn again [17:46] blck: why don't you use awk instead of grep/tail/egrep/echo etc? [17:46] mbeierl, what you want to do is install a server on windows, something like nx for windows, I suggest you log in at another time and ask someone how nx works. I was going to install nx on my ubuntu server but all I really needed was openssh [17:46] G14 needs help on making a bootable SDCard, does anyone know if this method will workd [17:47] anyone know how to make a custom slide show like in ubuntus wallpaper list of the solar system? [17:47] Ilutz: I didn't know, bash is a cryptic thing for me :) [17:47] mMezquitale meanwhile im trying to install the pluggin in firefox again [17:47] !anyone [17:47] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? === Jehova is now known as jehovah === Administrator is now known as dAlfa89_ [17:47] !anyone | jj_ [17:47] jj_: please see above [17:47] G14: like I said. use fdisk to toggle the sd card as bootable, then install grub on it. [17:48] jj_: I saw a program to do just that on www.getdeb.net I think it was called Smiles [17:48] mMezquitale: it's not so much the pace or the volume of tail, I'd like something where I can load files using a dialog, possibly with tabs. I use BearTail on Windows. It's just ok, but I haven't found anything comparable on Linux. [17:48] uberspaced: That;s all? [17:48] ubottu: I wuv you :) [17:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about I wuv you :) [17:48] Scunizi not that actually [17:48] G14: during ubuntu setup select the SD card as you /root and it will boot [17:48] G14: you can put a bootable iso on an sd card but your bios will not boot from it [17:48] Scunizi i mean in ubuntu look in backgrounds you see that slide show [17:48] Scunzi if you want to make your own to place in there to do the same how is that possible [17:48] MasterofPuppets, lawl... [17:48] blck: something like: smartctl -A /dev/sda | awk '/Load_Cycle_Count|193/ { print $4 }' /.conky/hdd_spin.txt; [17:49] SpaceGhostC2C: All I want is him to acknowledge my existence... [17:49] jj_: nope.. running an earlier version of ubuntu.. I don't know that feature.. [17:49] parolang: do you get any error messages , can you post the output from ifconfig(in a console?) [17:49] MasterofPuppets, I thought it was hilarious [17:49] SpaceGhostC2C: :P [17:49] !hi | MasterofPuppets [17:49] MasterofPuppets: 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! [17:49] * om26er thinks live cd will boot from the sd card if the sd card is in a usb memory card reader [17:49] Scunizi oh i see, well there is a wallpaper changer in 9.10 in the gnome backgrounds its pretty neat i wanted to know how they did that so i could make my own sets [17:50] Ilutz: Looks shorter, but now I get it anyway :P But thanks too [17:50] Hi. I'm running 9.04 and recently I've been having an annoying issue... when my laptop goes to low power mode (after not touching the kayboard or mouse for a few minutes... the display goes dim (I beleive this is intentional to conserve power) However, when I bring it out of this mode... (by moving the mouse or touching the kayboard) the display only comes back to 2/3 brightness ... I have to manually bring it back to full brightness eve [17:50] ry time... this occurs often. and this occurs with power plugged in [17:50] BUBUNTU, try asking the same question later, maybe someone with more experience will be logged in at that time, a lot of people have had issues like the one youre describing, ive never personally seen anything like that, be patient and ask again later, someone that has an answer will eventually log in [17:50] blck: take it maybe as a tipp for future scripts, awk is mighty :) [17:50] jj_: most likely it's someplace in System > Preferences > [17:50] BUBUNTU, what is your question? [17:50] acicula: No error messages. Hold on for the command. [17:51] parolang: pastebin ;) [17:51] SpaceGhostC2C: Thanks! I just lurk and see if there are menial problems I can help with :) [17:51] anacron has stopped running jobs on my 8.04 LTS system. I tried reinstalling it, but that didn't fix the problem. Anyone know how to troubleshoot this? [17:51] Ilutz: There are many thinks in Linux who are mighty. Hard to know it. But I'll tkae it like the apple of my eye [17:51] Scunizi well i guessed it may be several images tar'd together or something thats how they have it setup now but im not so sure... [17:51] mMezquitale: I'm familiar with NX, which again is like terminal services. What I was looking for was: In Windows a user can generate a "remote assistance request". This is an XML file which contains RDP information which allows the recipient to attach to that user's Windows desktop and remotely control it. VNC does the exact same thing for Windows, but if I'm trying to help someone who does not have VNC installed and does not know how, Microsoft has thi [17:51] hey. I've made some advances but still having trouble [17:51] mMezquitale: thanks for responding though! [17:51] jj_: are they "gif" files? [17:52] how would you cleanup old kernels from your boot partition? [17:52] anybody know what this is: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/pablo/.tvtime/tvtime.xml" [17:52] Why doesn't this script work? gksudo openvt -f -- `X :2 & '/home/peter/Programmering/Qt/asdf/asdf' -display :2`; [17:52] Cyber_Akuma: purge them [17:52] Scunizi no its like windows 7 it shows 1 wallpaper but it changes after certain times they are def not gif's [17:52] How? [17:52] Cyber_Akuma: open synaptic package manager and search for them.. tag them to uninstall and apply [17:52] hello, ive installed ubuntu onto a usb stick. but i cant get that usb to boot on another machine other than the machine i had the usb plugged into when i installed ubuntu. have i misunderstood something? [17:52] acicula: Well, I'm chatting from another computer since the system in question doesn't have internet. Not sure how to go about this other than retyping the output. [17:53] !usb | craig_ [17:53] craig_: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [17:53] Cyber_Akuma: linux-image-2.6.tab tab and see what you want to purge [17:53] Cyber_Akuma: be carefull [17:53] just delete them? [17:53] I was told NOT to do that [17:53] Cyber_Akuma, you want to delete every kernel but the one you're using. [17:53] I know that [17:53] Cyber_Akuma, I keep one previous just in case of breakage [17:53] Cyber_Akuma: uninstall them.. leave the latest and maybe the one just prior.. you can tell by the numbering. [17:53] I was still told not to delete old kernels [17:54] ok [17:54] Cyber_Akuma, well if you don't want to, you don't have to. [17:54] I knida do have to actually [17:54] Cyber_Akuma: they just take up space if you're not useing them. [17:54] the boot partition will only be 200 megs [17:54] Cyber_Akuma: you normally juse need the one you're running and the one that was before that [17:54] I need to keep it clean [17:54] error:screen isn't composited.plese run compiz(fusion) or another compoisting manager...i want to AWN see some taskbar pl help me [17:54] 200 or less [17:54] SpaceGhostC2C firefox Crashes when i try to maximize the running video. someone suggested to replace the adobe flash plugin provided in ubuntu 9.10 with the official one [17:54] Cyber_Akuma: you can also sudo apt-get autoclean to free some space [17:54] Cyber_Akuma: but still more than 7 kernel can be installed on that much space [17:54] Cyber_Akuma: and if your computer is working nicely there's no real need to keep the older one neither [17:54] parolang: got an usb stick? just copy paste the output to a file and copy iut that way? [17:55] parolang: does it show eth0 or eth1 ? [17:55] I can't install the boot files on the same partition because of old motherboard limits [17:55] BUBUNTU, the flash with fullscreen issue is ongoing. Let me link you the bug. [17:55] pol-ar: tvtime cannot find the .xml file it needs to load [17:55] error:screen isn't composited.plese run compiz(fusion) or another compoisting manager...i want to see AWN taskbar pl help me [17:55] grub2 failes to find my linux partition because its past the 136gb limit and my motherboard dosent support lba48 [17:55] I amhoping a seperate boot partition will fix that problem [17:55] ctmjr, do I have to 'install' that file myself? [17:55] How would I fdisk a SDCard to bootable in windows? It's for a bootable ubuntu [17:55] ctmjr, shouldn't it have come with tvtime's installation? [17:56] acicula: Yeah, I'll copy it over on a flashdrive. Hold on. (And thanks.) [17:56] ctmjr, what do you suggest I do now? [17:56] Please don't say the floodbots are still going funky [17:56] SpaceGhostC2C should i provide u some details? [17:56] parolang: if you have a laptop try connecting it to the network connection to make sure its physically fine , im guessing you are using dhcp normally to get an ip? [17:56] BUBUNTU, that would be incredibly helpful. [17:56] dAlfa89_: they never really have. they've been doing their job against attackers. [17:57] pol-ar: yes it should have created a default file look in the .tvtime dir and see if it is in there [17:57] mbeierl, you could probably just cheat and install virtualbox and then use net meeting to login to the windows machine, that is what I would do anyway, I thought you could remote control a computer using Terminal Server Client, except off course the user at the other end has to accept the connection? [17:57] LjL: So people are still trying to do their thing? I thought that was over yesterday.. [17:57] dAlfa89_: no, it happened a number of times today too. [17:57] ok, so i have ubuntu installed in VMWare under a Win7 host, and i can access its httpd and CUPS stuff -- but i can't figure out how to set it up as a samba server and see shared folders [17:58] BUBUNTU, you can try installing Epiphany Web browser on your Ubuntu and see if the flash content works without crashing, thats the browser I use more often when going to Flash-driven content on websites and it seem to work better than Firefox === Luukje|Game is now known as Luukje [17:58] BUBUNTU, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/333127 [17:58] i also can't figure out how to give it a resolvable hostname [17:58] Hi [17:58] ctmjr, the file is there. is this a permissions issue? [17:58] LjL: I see, looks like we might be riding the floodbot floods again, perhaps [17:58] I know Kubuntu has got a widget to check your pc's temperature, but how can I do it inside GNOME? [17:58] Glowball, there are lots of ways to accomplish this, do you want a widget? [17:58] i need to make a livecd out of my system, with all applications intact, which is the easiest and most reliable software for this? running karmic [17:59] acicula: http://pastebin.com/d44f25ff0 [18:00] pol-ar: might be run it as root for a minute and see if it loads sudo tvtime then close it if it runs without errors [18:00] i just got a new laptop and installed jaunty and the koala. is there some kind of "checklist" that i need to go over? like java and quicktime and all that other stuff? [18:00] parolang: you have an ip there, did you manually set it, can you ping 192.168.1.1 ? [18:00] SpaceGhostC2C: Doesn't really matter.. I liked the widgets in KDE because of the plasma screen, I can just click to make them appear, and click again to remove it. But there is no plasma screen in GNOME as far as I know, right? [18:01] acicula: No I didn't manually set it and the ping works fine. [18:01] Glowball, I don't know about that. You can use conky. Or screenlets. [18:02] ctmjr GREAT, you did it. [18:02] try nslookup www.ubuntu.org [18:02] I don't get that error anymore [18:02] can anyone help im having trouble connecting to irc.icq on Xchat [18:02] but I do get others.. [18:02] SpaceGhostC2C: There's to terminal command to just check your sensors, without installing anything? [18:02] Glowball, or the universal applets [18:02] SpaceGhostC2C: I'm on smalband with 4GB download a month.. :$ [18:02] sansui: shouldn't it be something like irc.icq. ?? [18:03] Glowball, if you want something to just check there is lmsensors [18:03] idk im just copying the link from Chanserv on ICQ's flash app [18:03] so I am trying to use recode to fix a perl script that has funny endings. It wants to know from what format to what format. What should these be? [18:03] How can i start this script with gksudo? (I want a password windows to come up, and with those privelegies execute this command) openvt -f -- `X :2 & '/home/peter/Programmering/Qt/asdf/asdf' -display :2`; [18:03] hi i installed apache-tomcat6 via package manager but how i can find it where it set the tomcat directories [18:03] hey is there a room for karmic? [18:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/327865/ [18:03] parolang: try nslookup www.ubuntu.org [18:03] clmjr, see that [18:04] i just got a new laptop and installed jaunty and then koala. is there some kind of "checklist" that i need to go over? like java and quicktime and all that other stuff? [18:04] DuckGod, this is the correct room for karmic support [18:04] mMezquitale: recode ibmpc:latin1 [18:04] mengu: normal apache is at /var/www .. not sure about tomcat but it might be in the same place or close by [18:04] anyone familiar with a good way to join sequential mpg files? i tried using mpgjoin and worked once but keeps getting segmentation faults [18:04] mengu: also /etc/apache2 [18:04] oh thnx got it [18:04] Glowball, you can install lm-sensors [18:04] pol-ar: what are the other errors [18:04] llutz, are you referring to a question that I asked yesterday? LoL [18:04] acicula: connection timed out, no servers could be reached [18:04] SpaceGhostC2C: I'm already in Synaptic ;) [18:05] ctmjr, here are the errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/327865/ [18:05] ok well i jus installed it an my internet connection icon dissapeared where do i go to reinstall it [18:05] parolang: cat /etc/resolv.conf [18:05] paste the output somewhere? [18:05] i need to make a livecd out of my system, with all applications intact, which is the easiest and most reliable software for this? running karmic [18:05] mMezquitale: nope, to a person who just left ;) [18:06] cptblood: remastersys. good luck. [18:06] cptblood: not sure which application.. but you're probably going to need a live DVD.. if you've added a bunch of programs etc.. the original live cd is packed. [18:06] acicula: It's small: domain commspeed.net / search commspeed.net / nameserver 169.254.1.1 (on different lines) [18:06] yeah, it didnt work, wouldnt boot up after making the cd [18:06] yeah, livedvd is fine [18:06] SpaceGhostC2C: less than 200kB, even my download limit of 4GB can handle that. Thanks :) [18:06] acicula: We don't use commspeed anymore though. Should I change it to my new ISP? [18:06] llutz, LoL so the message was for that person ok the same thing happens to me every now and then [18:07] parolang: yep [18:07] cptblood: mhm. then you'll have to read the LiveCDCustomization wiki page. and run the actual commands. [18:07] Glowball, Anytime mate. [18:07] parolang: you can set that through network settings though [18:07] bleh, simple gui wont help djustice? [18:07] Can someone help me fix my ubuntu? (im really a n00b) [18:07] I only get a black screen when i boot [18:07] right click the network icon and choose edit connections etc [18:07] cptblood: if it wouldnt boot, there was a good reason. i bet. ;) remastersys is the only gui app for it i know of. maybe there was another... idk [18:08] Pigflu, Thank goodness if you got those weird black screens when you had your computer off then something serious could be happening :p [18:08] djustice: well, no errors were output when doing the iso, so i dont know what's wrong with it [18:08] is there a way to make gnome-shell your default ? [18:08] t0rc, yes. [18:09] How can i start this script with gksudo? (I want a password windows to come up, and with those privelegies execute this command) openvt -f -- `X :2 & '/home/peter/Programmering/Qt/asdf/asdf' -display :2`; [18:09] acicula: Do you know where the field is to change in the network settings? I'm not fnding it. [18:09] t0rc, by selecting it at login. if it asks you if you want to use it as the default you know the answer. If it doesn't then it should be already set. [18:09] cptblood: that's why the terminal is useful. you see more output. so you figure out what went astray. im making a livecd myself atm. ;) [18:09] pol-ar: you need to configure it but first you need to make sure you do not have to be root to run it do ls -la ~/.tvtime [18:09] Scunizi: i've found it [18:10] SpaceGhostC2C, is it a good idea however? the repo version seems pretty stable...although I still question their use of JavaScript. [18:10] /usr/share/tomcat6 [18:10] good, then hopefully you could aid me :) dont have the target machine myself here now, but i'd be pleased to hear your outcome djustice [18:10] t0rc, what exactly are you talking about?

How can I set what resolution the Loading Screen uses? [18:47] Slart, Not even done yet, that is partial, I have another 500gig or so to put back still.

She likes Ubuntu and she needs it for school [19:00] ;} [19:01] cdamon, your chipset needs to support OpenGL if you want hardware support. [19:01] Oh. Um. You need drivers which enable OpenGL. [19:01] how can i find out if my chipset supports opengl? [19:01] the 9.10 desktop version works fine for me.. i have 1.5 ram.. thats the max for the acer aoa150 [19:01] yes, how do i get the drivers? [19:01] cdamon, just google "[chipset name] OpenGL". [19:01] if you have less than 1 gb you may want to opt for the nbr [19:01] lobonegro_rlopez : i think UNR is excellent for netbook. optimized for small screen like mine. [19:01] Where do Linux people get drivers from? [19:02] cdamon: glxinfo after installing the correct drivers [19:02] karma_police: didn't realize that was a differnce... I have the aod150 with 2gb [19:02] Oh. [19:02] karma_police, so it's mostly about memory? Also display, right? Gnome's panels get on the way a bit don't they? [19:02] kronix: they're in the kernel, or come as a kernel module which you compile with the kernel headers [19:02] iceroot : xlog takes 54 from cpu ?? what is that?

I have a single 2gb stick in there and that's what it's been booting with since day 1 [19:04] Hajex: its the x-server. its the gui of ubuntu [19:04] yeah, just curious because Dell ships them with preinstalled software, I wondered if they were worth keeping [19:04] Hajex: you have an intel-card on jaunty? [19:04] google chrome?!?! [19:04] is it worth getting [19:04] its linux based so it must be good!!

[20:06] Yoshi1, http://forum.grasscity.com/silicon-v-alley/447223-ubuntu-running-low-graphics-mode.html [20:06] greezmunkey, I am not sure, the windoze boxes are the only ones working, linux and mac aren't. [20:07] jphillips86, hmmm, did the mac's ever work? [20:07] Younder: no it doesnt work if i click ok or cancel it shoots me to a screen outside what my monitor can display [20:07] Younder: so i cant do ANYTHING [20:07] i have a hotswap frame for sata harddisks on my computer, and stpidly (although it's on sata port 5) the kernel alway assigns /dev/sda if there's a disk in there at boot time. I think writing a udev rule won't solve that, because there's always different drives in that slot. Anyone got an idea how to change that? [20:07] alexandre__: it is telling you that a directory with the same name exists already [20:07] so merge them? [20:07] a virus seems to have deleted the partition from my pendrive. i run mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc and it says "mkfs.vfat: Will not try to make filesystem on full-disk device '/dev/sdc' (use -I if wanted)" then I use -I and it says "mkfs.vfat: Attempting to create a too large file system" what the hell, its a 2gb pendrive [20:07] /dev/foo ? [20:07] Yoshi1, been there.. calm down [20:07] acicula, where it store it? so i can delete [20:08] xjk1: you need a partition [20:08] alexandre__: dunno [20:08] greezmunkey, Nope. and the majority of the computers in the office are macs [20:08] Enter text here...hol === homer is now known as Guest81017 [20:08] alguienq hable español [20:08] !es [20:08] 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. [20:08] what is a good mass mailing opensouce software that can make use of an already created database? [20:08] Yoshi1, of cource the tlast time I was there I ended up doing a complete reinstall [20:09] jphillips86, well that tells me something...Is the printer connected to the network? === mushona is now known as manulite [20:09] jphillips86, can you ping it? [20:09] acicula: yes i need a partition, i want to create a partition, that was my point, so how do i do it, dont wanna graphical softwares [20:09] Hi guys - I created an ubuntu 8.04 bootable usb drive using unetbootin in windows. Unfortunately it is not auto-mounting my computer's hard drive (though it was on a 9.04 usb drive) - can anyone advise how to fix this as I am hoping to install hardy from USB stick [20:09] Younder: not gonna happen to much data would be lost if i did [20:09] Yes, we are trying to print over ip [20:09] xjk1: fdisk [20:09] Yoshi1, what graphics card are you using? [20:09] xjk1: or cfdisk [20:09] greezmunkey, I can ping it, and it shows up in CUPS [20:10] geforce 8800 gts or was it 8600 gts [20:10] Yoshi1: lspci will tell you [20:10] i cant use lspci because i canbt boot the machine [20:10] Yoshi1, wow. that's a kicck ass card! [20:10] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [20:10] jphillips86, ok...can you access the programming for the printer? [20:10] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [20:10] cfdisk /dev/sdc says it couldn't find the disk, same with fdisk [20:11] Younder: acicula i cant use lspci because i canbt boot the machine [20:11] xjk1: so inspect dmesg what device that actually is === quok_ is now known as quok [20:11] jphillips86, try http://{ip of printer}, or http://{ip of printer}:8000, or 8080 [20:11] are there any virtual machine solutions that you can connect to the gui remotely over the network ? [20:11] greezmunkey, Yes [20:11] xjk1: and you used sudo , didn't you? [20:11] Yoshi1, but as you know nvidea has custom drivers [20:12] linxeh: virtualbox,vmware [20:12] Younder: which i cant install without booting into the os [20:12] dunno if xen/kdm can too [20:12] Yoshi1, you need to booot to text mode and from tere install he graphics driver [20:12] jphillips86, that's good!, look to see if it is requiring you to send your print jobs to a specific port number === usuario-master is now known as vo|d [20:12] acicula: virtual box will let oyu disconnect the gui etc and reconnect from another machine ? [20:13] Younder: no good that mode the drivers wont install === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez [20:13] linxeh: dunno if virtualbox is that flexible [20:13] stefg: yes, and it says sdc on dmesg, i think i will do on gparted and read its log, will it tell me how it created the partition ? [20:13] Hi guys - I created an ubuntu 8.04 bootable usb drive using unetbootin in windows.

[20:13] hi [20:13] acicula: does that work on virtualbox with any os ? [20:13] Younder: if your talking about the repair mode that wont worjk [20:14] linxeh: dont know, but i would guess so [20:14] ok I'll read into it thanks === zz_kiwifunk is now known as kiwifunk [20:14] Yoshi1: http://www.debianadmin.com/howto-boot-debian-in-text-mode-instead-of-graphical-mode-gui.html [20:14] even gparted isnt recognizing, i think it is a physical problem, thanks for the help anyway [20:14] acicula: yeah it seems it does - you rock, thanks [20:14] linxeh: yw [20:14] xjk1: sometimes it helps to zero out the first sectors (partition table) with sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc ... then try again if cfdisk sees that device. [20:15] greezmunkey, No, it is just the default port (25) === kiwifunk is now known as b0w [20:16] jphillips86, that's smtp's port! [20:16] ok I can't get the movie to play any help? [20:16] blue0488: what format [20:16] print2mail, nice [20:17] its a dvd [20:17] greezmunkey, I guess that's not it, the printer guy is here, and he said the default for LPD printing [20:17] blue0488: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [20:17] jphillips86, Do you have access to one of the winboxen, to stare and compare it's (working) SETTINGS? [20:17] oops, caps [20:17] blue0488: my guess is you have not set a region for the dvd player and therefor it will not work yet [20:18] greezmunkey, yes === Berzerker- is now known as Berzerker [20:18] LPD default port I think is 515, not 25 [20:18] This is it [20:18] this is now [20:18] it has all really come down to this [20:18] I am ready [20:18] I have accepted [20:18] Guest57023: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:18] (I believe) [20:18] blue0488: follow the instructions on the wiki and it should work [20:18] jphillips86, check to see what IP port the winboxen are using... [20:19] other than kbasic, is there a program out there to program in, compile, and run visual basic? [20:19] My keyring doesn't seem to remember my always allow for evolution to access it, does anyone know how to make it remember, also when I look at my remembered networks the password is always blank, (always asks for keyring acces then too) [20:19] What would I use to go about burning a video file to a DVD and have it play in my dvd player? [20:19] Hi. Is it normal for exaile to be consuming, at times, over 80 or 90 percent of CPU power? (It seems to do that for a few minutes, than below 10 percent for several minutes and then it goes back up again etc.) [20:20] what do I need to do to backup sufficiently so I can put a clean install of karmic on my computer? [20:20] and maintain my current settings? [20:20] Crayboff: typically just your home directories [20:20] Yoshi1: you with me? === ashmawy is now known as vick [20:20] Sexraider: I'd suggest using "devede" for burning video files (avi etc) to a dvd [20:20] Crayboff: some settings are put in /etc/ but i would not recommend copying those over [20:20] Thank you, DJones [20:20] greezmunkey, I can't find it [20:20] does anyone know what is the dir of firefox on ubuntu? (the one that comes with the os) [20:21] If you had a list of pdf files, what would be the best strategy to translate them ? === b0w is now known as zz_b0w [20:21] hmm alright, would saved passwords in Firefox follow me over in the home folder? [20:21] jphillips86, on the winbox, you mean? [20:21] if you google it there's a way to backup your firefox passwords [20:21] anyone has worked with the write command on linux network? [20:21] like if you want to send a message to someone on a network.. [20:21] greezmunkey, Yeah [20:21] greezmunkey, in ubunto do a 'ifconfig -a' [20:21] Translate them as in from one language to another eg. French to English [20:22] jphillips86, hmm, he's looking at a winbox [20:22] greezmunkey, the HWaddr thingi is the MAC [20:22] does someone know why kdevelop doesn't compile and execute created programs? [20:22] how long should it take to partition an 890Gb partition to ext3? [20:22] any idea how to get the "write username" to work if the user has logged onto more than one tty's [20:22] ? [20:22] davide_: is build-essential installed? [20:22] kbp dpkg -L firefox-3.0 [20:22] jphillips86, ok enter the properties page for the printer in control panel, printers, etc [20:22] Crayboff: afaik those are stored in your home folder under .mozilla/firefox something [20:22] greezmunkey, I THINK it might be 139, I shared the printer from the Winbox to the mac, and it has 139 as it's port [20:22] greezmunkey, well in windows it is ipconfig [20:23] bigmack83_: awhile [20:23] Is there any program that translate a pdf file from one language to another ? [20:23] lstarnes: yes, it is installed [20:23] vick: google? [20:23] jphillips86, it's attached to a winbox, not direct to the network? [20:23] llutz_: got it! thank you [20:23] acicula, As in google does that or i should google it ? [20:23] jphillips86, i get it... === yoshi is now known as Guest30307 [20:23] vick: as in google can [20:24] greezmunkey, It is hooked directly to the network via ethernet [20:24] vick: err as in google can translate that for you [20:24] About the pendrive problem I have, the full question and the demesg is here: http://pastebin.ca/1687260 [20:24] jphillips86, look at one of your winboxes that prints to it over the network, control panel, printers, then enter the properties for the network printer, you should see what ip port it is set to under on of the tabs. [20:25] acicula: how do I go about backing it up onto my external harddrive? I tried dragging (gui of course) into a folder in my external harddrive however I get an error saying 'The folder ".dbus" cannot be handled because you do not have permissions to read it.' even if I run nautilus in root [20:25] in sudo* [20:25] write user [tty] <- is "write username [pts/23]" of the right format? [20:25] Crayboff: are you copying or moving [20:25] acicula, Are you sure about the pdf ? or do you mean webpages ? [20:26] attempting to copy it acicula [20:27] vick: dunno , i dont see why it wouldnt be able to translate pdf [20:27] acicula: literally dragging it into the folder, doing nothing else. I do have other applications open, could that be a problem? should I log in as root to do this? I know that is something I probably should never do, but is it necessary in this case? [20:27] greezmunkey, 9100 [20:27] acicula, translate pdf? [20:27] acicula, into what? [20:27] Younder: translate text in the pdf [20:28] acicula, forget it! get the source! [20:28] jphillips86, now code that into your network printer settings! usually x.x.x.x:9100, or the like! [20:28] ah yeah [20:29] Crayboff: its a permissions issue, you could try copying it as root , not really up to speed on backup tricks for ubuntu, i ussually just tar up my home and dump it back [20:29] acicula, Thank you. [20:29] acicula, serosly these tools require a text format. and pdf is a binary format [20:29] does google offer their translation service as a service? [20:30] greezmunkey, So when I add the printer via ip address, just include the port as well? [20:30] Younder: obviously, but you have been able to browse pdf as html for ages on google, so i dont really see why there would be an issue to brwose translated pdfs as html [20:30] just add more glue [20:31] acicula, by an embedded Adobe Viewer [20:32] jphillips86, absolutely, or it won't work! [20:32] acicula, if it translated it to HTML the sure, no problem [20:32] Younder: less reads pdf, im sure google can [20:32] !uptime [20:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about uptime [20:32] ok i rephrase my question, since it apparently doesn't exist. What is a programming language for ubuntu that is very close to visual basic? [20:32] acicula, igoogle does [20:33] acicula, ok ready for some programming? [20:33] greezmunkey, Ok, I added that and it says connecting to the printer, but doesn't do anything [20:33] hey guys i need help add a littley security to my account [20:33] jphillips86, once you get it to work on you Linbox, you can rinse and repeat on the Mac's too. [20:34] acicula, this sortof task is what python was made for [20:34] acicula, http://aroberge.blogspot.com/2006/01/foxit-pdf-reader-fast.html === geo is now known as geo05 [20:35] Duergar: check out 'gambas' (or was it gombas) [20:35] jphillips86, set your printer type up as AppSocket/HP Jetdirect [20:35] how do i check to see what users are on my server exept for admin [20:35] outlawz86: try the 'who' command [20:35] How do one go about to change the look of the login screen (GDM) in 9.10? The "Login Screen" in the Admin-menu does bollocks... [20:35] It used to be so simple. :/ [20:36] acicula, again adobe is propriatary [20:36] acicula, so you need to pay backs [20:36] Chewtoy: its not as themeable as befor. You can change the wallpaper easially. but thats about it. [20:36] Chewtoy: its a work in progress [20:36] :/ [20:36] To bad. [20:36] bucks [20:36] jphillips86, when you set up your printer, did you use AppSocket/Jetdirect first, and then select your driver? [20:36] Chewtoy: thers a tool called 'epidermis' that can chaange it a little bit also,. [20:37] I'm planning to install Windows XP and Windows 7 on a second hard drive. One problem is, my system clock is set to UTC. Has the bug with Windows failing to understand UTC been fixed, or must I change the system clock to local time? [20:37] k my server has been hacked but i still have the root password.. how can i make sure nonone is on and nonoe gets on [20:37] Dr_Willis: Is it able to remove the annoying drop down menu and replace it with a bar to type in the username? [20:37] FoolishOwl: ask in #windows about windows bugs? [20:37] hey i was wondering does anyone have great success with DELL PRINTERS AND UBUNTU? [20:37] Is there a #windows? [20:37] Chewtoy: not that ive noticed [20:37] FoolishOwl: ##windows [20:37] :( [20:37] FoolishOwl: I think windows still is weird about the clock.. I've set my clock to autoupdate in both windows and ubuntu.. that usually takes care of it [20:37] Sorry, dumb question. [20:37] FoolishOwl, yes [20:37] Chewtoy: if you want you can install the old gdm. Ive seen howto guides on it. [20:37] greezmunkey, Yeah, at least now it says "printing", but it is not doing anything [20:38] heisoundfunny333: check linuxprinting.org [20:38] outlawz86: drop everyone but your ip adress? [20:38] jphillips86, give it a bit, it could be spooling in the printer... [20:38] heisoundfunny333: most dell printers are just rebranded printers by other companies [20:38] Dr_Willis: All I really want to do is remove the drop down menu... [20:38] acicula how do i do that what should i google [20:38] outlawz86: you could setup iptables to only accept network communications from your current ip [20:38] jphillips86, you should have the option to send a test print page, did you try that? [20:38] outlawz86: or remove the machine from a public accesible network [20:38] Chewtoy: never bothered/worried about it. Only got 3 users here anyway. :) [20:38] greezmunkey, right click the name.. [20:39] Dr_Willis: I got one. [20:39] i will try that a try Slart...... the printer willl sit forever and do no print ... [20:39] greezmunkey, if you are using XChat [20:39] Chewtoy: 1 user? So.. why not just set it to auto login then? [20:39] Dr_Willis: Security reasons. [20:39] when i Map a Network Drive a Password Comes up i type the correct password but still doesn't connnect it was yesterday anysuggestions how to disable my network password [20:39] Yonder, nice :) [20:39] greezmunkey, much recomended by the way [20:40] Chewtoy: do what ya want. good luck [20:40] Younder, what do you mean? [20:40] Dr_Willis: I don't want people to know my loin name or my pass. [20:40] Hi, is there a substantial difference between ubuntu server and just installing ubuntu with a minimal install? [20:40] Chewtoy: use a different login manager then, or install the old gdm. [20:40] Ripp_: I think ubuntu server comes with the server kernel.. but you can install that from the minimal install too [20:41] Dr_Willis: Guess I will have to. [20:41] greezmunkey, Yeah, tried test page, still nothing [20:41] Ripp_: yes and no - you can add or remove functionalities each and eveery time [20:41] hi . i want to export in a .txt file all files inside a folder. how can i do this ? [20:41] Ok, thanks...i'll google how to do that [20:41] Slart: I'm leaning towards telling Windows to treat UTC as local time, if I can. Linux is the primary operating system on this machine. [20:41] how does the server kernel differ? [20:41] greezmunkey, XChat.. [20:41] just better performance for server apps? [20:41] Ripp_: pae in 32bit, other libs for some net apps [20:42] jphillips86: can you verify that your job is making it to the printer, like by looking at the programming for the printer? [20:42] Ripp_: no big changes really.. it comes with PAE enabled.. I'm guessing more priority to background tasks.. those kinds of things [20:42] kharloss: 'cd directory' them 'echo * > filelist.txt' will get ya a file of the filenames.. or use ls. [20:42] ok [20:42] Yonder: Just what is it that I am doing wrong? [20:42] Younder: using the thing where it removes the auto gdm didnt work [20:42] vnc sure has came a long long long way since i used it last. i am remoted into my ubuntu box now and the refresh rate is amazing compared to what it was the last time i used it quite some time ago. [20:42] What does pae stand for? [20:42] Ripp_: as said , can alter it (including kernel) at any time [20:43] Younder: and the nvidia install wont run in recovery mode [20:43] Ripp_: physical address extension === Guest14226 is now known as Yoshi1 [20:43] Ripp_: physical address extention or something like that.. to use more than 4GB memory on 32bit kernels [20:43] greezmunkey, you need a meny > view > user-list [20:43] i see [20:43] The AWN Manager won't open, anyone have an idea? [20:43] ok, so not an issue since this is 64 bit processor, i guess [20:43] so i still cant boot my computer because ubuntu is stuck in a loop [20:43] greezmunkey, it is the user list you right click [20:44] Ripp_: then it's not an issue, no [20:44] cool, thanks [20:44] alexandre__: run it from a termianl. Look for error messages === DepthSort` is now known as DepthSort [20:44] Ripp: on differance is that server version comes with samba server installed, I think sendmail, and other such programs as well [20:44] Guest14226: ok pase 2 [20:45] with the text based install can you specify which one of the disk that should be installed to during boot as the main HD? i think that is why my install disc keeps failing on one computer since the first SATA controller is not working but the last 3 are. windows will install fine on the box and i have ubuntu running virtually on it but i would like it to be the main OS. [20:45] Yonder: Is there an issue? [20:45] Younder: whats pase 2/ [20:45] ? [20:45] i am using ubuntu, and my sounds usually just crashes after a few hours of use.... but it works fine if i logged out and log in, how do i reload the sound module? [20:45] Guest14226: yo now need to get the graphics environmet running [20:45] Younder: yeah i know [20:46] Fatb0y: yes, alternate-cd also [20:46] where is located the direcotory apps? [20:46] DasEi, thanks. [20:46] Yoshi1, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=47352 [20:46] Younder: but how do i do that? [20:46] suman: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [20:46] sudo* [20:46] alexandre__: there is no 'program files' type directory. binaries can be anywhere, and your default PATH is searched for them normally [20:46] i want to remove the first user of ubuntu which is created during installation from the sudoers list and instead add another [20:47] or rather say I want to change its group [20:47] suman, there is a possibility that the pulse daemon is crashing [20:47] greezmunkey, It is making it there, but then the printer just says "spooling" or "ripping" and never completes the job [20:47] tkmsr: add the new user first and be sure they have all the proper sudo permissions and work properly befor removing the 1st :) seen a few people do it backwards and have to fix things [20:48] Anyone knows how and if I can open a karmic default encrypted home partition in another distro? How's it encrypted? LUKS? [20:48] DasEi: thanks and i did that.. buti guess that is not the problem [20:48] Ok [20:48] suman: to avoid trouble, can deconnect other drives, install ubunut, then add an option fow win(other hd) in grub later ( or even use bios, if you don't switch often) [20:48] I need to recover data off of a drive that uses LVM. How do I do that? [20:48] I do not want to delete the user [20:48] kostkon: how do i fix that?? [20:48] but I want to remove him from [20:48] where can i learn how to do a dist-upgrade on a headless machine? (gutsy to hardy) [20:48] admin tasks [20:48] How do I access information about my current kernel? [20:48] just disable its permissions [20:48] Ripp_: uname -a ? [20:48] suman, hmm. you could check your syslog log file for any error msgs [20:48] e.g., its version and properties? [20:48] ok, thanks [20:48] suman, for a start [20:49] * Yoshi1 pokes younder [20:49] oh heh it was stuck scrolled up [20:49] tkmsr: thats doable. I think theres a user admin tool that can do it. but ive rarely messed with it. [20:49] DasEi: maybe i should do that when i get some free time [20:50] Younder: my problem is all because they dont have the os auto reboot after setting itself into graphics mode [20:50] Yoshi1, I'm here [20:50] ok, can someone help me create a simple backup of my home folder so that when i create a fresh install of ubuntu, I'll be able to easily replace the default user folder with the folder I backed up [20:50] Younder: yeah sorry didnt notice i was scrolled up [20:50] Yoshi1, you can do it from the command line [20:50] suman: the installe became fast, on a 2Ghz machine/sata can be done in less then anhour, espiacially via usb-installer [20:50] What's a good program to join videos split accross several WMV files?

[20:51] Yoshi1, shutdown [20:51] DasEi: cool, nice tips [20:51] Younder: not if my screen goes black because the thing gets pushed into a setting that cuts off the monitor [20:51] Younder: this has been the case since the day i used ubuntu [20:51] kostkon: i am looking at the syslog, but dont know what i should be looking for [20:51] anybody have any ideas on how I can mount a LVM partition [20:52] !info unetbootin [20:52] unetbootin (source: unetbootin): installer of Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive.

[21:02] hello [21:02] Crayboff: you can safely the .dbus folder [21:02] Yoshi1: to fix your graphics, or is there just one machine ?

[21:03] Crayboff: you can look into it - it doesn't matter for your new install at all [21:03] guntbert: but since i'm planning on doing a fresh install, I figure that i need all of the files. i really don't know what i have to do for this. I just want to have a fresh install while perserving all of my settings [21:04] !backup [21:04] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [21:04] hello, i just installed ubuntu 9.10. after the install completed and i rebooted the machine, the ubuntu loading splash screen is displayed.. and then it drops into the command line login, and the display flashes the login screen at about 500Hz.. keyboard input seems to not work quite right. essentially upon boot i cant get into the GUI and the display goes whacky. the GUI display was fine during the install. i'd like to boot into single user mode but when i [21:04] Yoshi1: netroot for getting liked, ctrl-d , repair broken.. to get updates, then back in netroot (pwd this time), then call back [21:04] shit didn't know all this was hthere [21:04] linked* [21:04] Crayboff, you have to change the permissions of .dbus then, there's an option in nautilus to see all hidden files and folders, check that then right click on .dbus and change the owner from root to your user name but change it back afterwards... alternatively you can just select everything in there but .dbus... which is probably the better solution [21:04] Crayboff: I said: you can safely ignore this one folder and its sub-folders [21:04] Flare183: thanks, but it's not helpful unfortunately [21:04] oops didn't mean to swear [21:04] !language | Crayboff [21:04] Crayboff: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

However, I don't know what package I should file the bug report in Launchpad against. Can anyone help?

[21:08] DasEi: ok repairing broken packages then what? === mamia is now known as regex [21:08] epinky: no? [21:09] SundanceKid: No its supported but only for certain wireless cards [21:09] Yoshi1: netroot, give passwd this time [21:09] its just that I cant be logging into windows everytime I want an internet connection in ubuntu , its doing my head in thiebaude [21:09] DasEi: then? [21:09] for days ive not been able to get anything done on my computer because of it [21:10] Yoshi1: (enter in terminal~root) : cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_orig [21:10] hey guys, i just installed some updates and in my grub loader i've got 2 edition of ubuntu (14/15)... how do i fix that? [21:10] and even though i love using ubuntu , i love the internet even more lol [21:10] DasEi: why not just put all the steps into a single post only sans the shorthand [21:10] mars: maybe in this thread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/447747 [21:10] ok. I got tvtime to work ok but image is all black-and-white only. anyone knows how to fix this? [21:10] Yoshi1: (enter in terminal~root) : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [21:11] Yoshi1: I don't understand .. [21:11] Yoshi1: reboot [21:12] orentet, you don't need to fix it - Grub should boot the most up-to-date kernel for you automatically. [21:12] your putting each stype in a single post which is getting split up horrendously by all the entering and leaving of the room [21:12] hey guys....what package do i need to install in ubuntu remix to get the normal desktop? [21:12] DasEi: if you put it all in one single post it'd be much easier to follow [21:12] weird.. same problem when i boot off the cd now [21:13] that is bizzare [21:13] DasEi: so if you have to leave before this is done fixing i can follow the instructions easily [21:13] epinky, thanks. I read that thread, but couldn't say for sure if it was mountall. Think I should just file it there and let Scott decide? [21:14] Yoshi1: my fingers will fall up and if there is any trouble/misunderstanding , can rewrite the whole thing, thanks sir [21:14] Does any1 know how to preview your work in bluefish? === cablop is now known as Guest28337 [21:14] mars, yep great idea :) [21:14] done :) [21:15] Yoshi1: could work now, else we might have to remove a foolish displaydriver you -as I assume- installed [21:15] no, #ubuntu-se doesn't seem to know. [21:15] DasEi: so far you have said "boot root with network press ctrl -d then chose fix packages. let it fix them then ctrl -d again boot into root with network again give password this time run a command which i cant remember then reboot" yes? [21:15] is anyone having trouble with AWN-Manager ?? [21:16] Is it at all possibly to have two x server configurations? I have a laptop which I'm attaching a second screen to and I wondered if it is possible to switch between the config for 1 screen and the config for 2 easily. [21:16] when i connect with ssh and press my swedish ö button, some "arg.6" thing comes up and behaves really strange, how can i fix that? i really need to type ö :( [21:16] how do i know if my ubuntu is "hardy" or not?

Is it maybe something with forwarding of locales? Pam? [21:18] hi all [21:18] yUraKeshi, between versions? don;t really know sorry [21:18] Question...does the sudo command not read the /etc/env* file?

[21:21] i'll resource and try [21:21] i mean, it works if i am not sudo [21:21] and libapache2-mod-php i think [21:21] thanks [21:21] Yoshi1: did you install a certain driver for that card ? [21:21] just a bit confused, since it shows up in sudo's path variable [21:21] DasEi: huh when and how was i supposed to do that? [21:22] Yoshi1: and reboot it again to root terminal [21:22] ikonia: cause i have a red triangle tellin me to update but then i update and there is nothing to update [21:22] iyi geceler/good night [21:22] DasEi: the nvidia installer wont run in recovery mode [21:22] tenoch: so a sudo apt-get update see if it offers you any updates [21:22] Yoshi1: is it a fresh install ? did you use the hardware-drivers section ? how/when did this occur ?

Any ideas why, and how to fix? [22:33] solexious: this happens when you're already logged in? [22:33] z tymi babami :/ [22:33] HI TO ALL [22:33] ! [22:33] :) [22:33] mangekyou: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:33] hi. is there not a difference between Suspend and Hibernate in Ubuntu? They do the exact same thing for me. [22:33] !ps | lukasz [22:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about ps [22:33] !pl | lukasz [22:33] good evening... does someone know how to remove IE7 from wine ? I'd like to revert back to IE6 in wine. [22:33] lukasz: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [22:34] Slart: Yes, havent pin pointed a spesific program or prosess that is running when it happens [22:34] Omen_20: afaik they are supposed to be different.. not sure why it would be the same for you [22:34] Yoshi1: still around ? [22:34] DasEi: yes [22:34] solexious: it sounds like X is crashing.. have a look in /var/log/syslog and see if it mentions anything around the time when it restarts [22:35] Yoshi1: so got some xorg now, boot to root-cmd-line again [22:35] alright [22:35] Slart, I'm suspecting Hibernate should powerdown the computer but it just looks like the screen goes black. No difference between it and if I walked off for 20 minutes. Does Hibernate not work on PCs? Just for laptops? [22:35] DasEi: netroot or plain root? [22:36] Yoshi1: netroot [22:36] Slart: Will do next time :) [22:36] DasEi: done [22:36] Yoshi1:http://pastebin.com/f5531c59e [22:36] Omen_20: as far as I know hibernate should work the same on desktops as on laptops.. ie save memory to swap and shut off the computer [22:37] guys, how do i change default font for non-latin fonts? [22:37] jamnz: ask on #wine channel [22:37] Can anybody deal with: "Cannot run wish (wish command "puts OK; exit" failed): maybe you're not running X or DISPLAY", appears when I do a ./configure [22:37] I'm actually not running X, but this is a server system... [22:37] Yoshi1:nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf , alter the two sections accordingly [22:38] does that mean it will not compile e.g. configure [22:38] Slart: Ugh, I think playing with "Simple CompizConfig Settings Manager" wiped all of my keyboard shortcuts I configured last week. [22:38] notte [22:38] a tutti [22:39] kensanata: ouch [22:39] hi [22:39] kensanata: you set these shortcuts somewhere else? in Gnome? [22:39] anyone for a chat :) ? [22:39] anyone for a chat :) ? [22:39] DasEi: typing it in now [22:39] Slart, yeah for me the display just goes black. Doesnt even turn it off. Then if I move the mouse it pops up a login box. Basically Hibernate = Lock. [22:39] mangekyou: this is a support channel.. for general chat please use #ubuntu-offtopic [22:39] DasEi: 2 sections? [22:39] Slart: Yes, in System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts. Whatever that is. :) [22:39] Omen_20: have a look in the logs.. see if you get any errors there [22:39] thanks :) [22:40] Omen_20: On my iBook Hibernate will save state and power down. Then when I power up again, it will load state and crash. Then I get to power up again. :) [22:41] DasEi: holy craP THATS ALOT TO TYPE [22:41] grrr sdtupid caps lock [22:41] Installing a small 200mb boot partition to bypass some restrictions on my system, is there any reason to use ext4 instead of ext3 for this partition? Or would it make any difference? Ubuntu will be install on an ext4 partition regardless. [22:41] This is sort of both an Ubuntu and Linux Mint question. (Applies to both Karmic and Linux Mint Helena). If I install to an encrypted root (loading modules in a LiveCD session, formatting, etc), I am able to boot up and even get past Grub. However, it drops me to BusyBox (recoery shell) saying it cannot find device /dev/mapper/croot. What's interesting is that I can manually do "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda7 croot" and then continue to [22:41] boot just fine into the encrypted root installation. [22:41] does ubuntu support Gamepad? [22:41] Slart, where do I find these logs? [22:41] is there a driver for Gamepad in ubuntu? [22:41] kensanata: I didn't know the compiz shortcuts would take over..perhaps the gnome shortcuts are still there if you disable the stuff in ccsm? [22:41] mrXX: yes [22:41] Omen_20: /var/log/syslog is one place to look [22:42] erUSUL really, i m so excited, what do i need to install? [22:42] DasEi: do i really need the modeline section? [22:43] Since my question is somewhat long, here it is: http://pastebin.com/d3d7071c2 (This is important to me.) [22:43] how do i get apache to work? i ran this command: sudo apache -k start ... and i got this error apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER} [22:44] mrXX: nothing; there may be some calibratring apps out there. look a bit [22:44] Cyber_Akuma, for the /boot partition, I use ext2. [22:44] hey when i install a package , it says it depends on sun-java5-jre . but i've sun-java6-jre installed . wat can do about that [22:44] Slart, when I Hibernate it says this in the log: Anacron 2.3 started on 2009-11-25 [22:45] Omen_20: I don't think that's important for this [22:45] Omen_20: nothing else? no ERROR bla bla .. or DANGER DANGER stuff? [22:45] hello [22:45] how can i install yum on centos ? [22:46] ok. i just noticed every time I hibernate it says that. And then when I log back in I get this: Normal exit (0 jobs run) === mohamed is now known as Guest43524 [22:46] mohamed, wrong channel [22:46] Slart, nope. no errors [22:46] can you help me to go to correct channel ? [22:47] Anyone here using (or has tried) Karmic on an encrypted root partition? [22:47] does anyone know how to make the Allow access to keyring program remember that I want it to always allow a program? [22:47] flan_suse: yes [22:47] DasEi2, did you use the Alternate Install or the regular Desktop CD and do it via a LiveCD session/ [22:47] ? [22:48] how do I prevent openvpn from starting every time I start my computer up? [22:48] is there any way to do a grphical edit to many files together? [22:48] Guest47475, #centos [22:48] flan_suse: alternate installer, usb drive [22:48] Omen_20: try looking in /var/log/kern.log as well [22:48] Ddorda: how do you mean? [22:48] How to get rid of gnome default keyring? [22:49] How do I disable Compiz under ubuntu? I can't seem to find any method for turning off desktop effects. [22:49] Slart: i want to do an edit to many files, for example resizing the image by 20% to a whole directory [22:49] MJEvans: preferences, appearance, Visual Effects, None [22:49] Yoshi1:do you need more help in editing xorg ? [22:49] do * [22:49] Slart, nope. no errors anytime near when I started trying to hibernate [22:49] hey when i install a package , it says it depends on sun-java5-jre . but i've sun-java6-jre installed . wat can i do about that [22:49] Ddorda: ah.. try imagemagick.. I think GIMP has a batch edit feature as well [22:49] What is the safe way of removing a link from the /etc/rcX.d directories?. [22:50] Omen_20: hmm.. well.. then I don't really know what might be wrong.. sorry [22:50] javier [22:50] CyL: use rcconf [22:50] DasEi2: i understand how to edit xorg with nano i was wondering if i need all those modelines. i am typing this by hand [22:50] DasEi2, my problem is that I wish to install Linux Mint Helena (based on Karmic, Grub2) on an encrypted root, which tells me "ALERT! /dev/mapper/croot does not exist" and then it drops me to a recovery shell. However, in the recovery shell I can do "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda7 croot" and then it allows me to continue booting with no problems. [22:50] epinky: thanks [22:50] Slart, no problem. I was just curious. [22:50] DasEi2, is there a reason it won't do this automatically? Does it have something to do with Grub2 and not passing a proper option? [22:51] Yoshi1: Is why I ask, why not ssh from the lap in it do it with full environment ? or use a usb to get it over.. [22:51] buddies , how can i install an old version of a package ? [22:51] DasEi2, on my netbook (Karmic, Alternate Install via USB), it asks for my LUKS passphrase when I boot up. But in this case, it drops me to a recovery shell and then I have to do it manually. [22:51] flan_suse: is crypttab configured? [22:52] DasEi2: usb oh shit yeah i could but would it work from a command line in recovery mode. the usb i mean. and this is a windows laptop :( plsu i am no good with networking [22:52] flan_suse: did you change to encrytion later then grub2 was installed ? [22:52] my netbook with 9.1 has frozen up while quitting out of a game. It's still responding on the network, how do I get control of my screen again? [22:52] epinky, it won't matter if it doesn't even unlock the encrypted root (/) partition in the first place. All it has to work with is the unencrypted 200 MB /boot partition. [22:53] DasEi2, no, all a fresh install. (I'm testing this in VirtualBox.) [22:53] hi [22:53] DasEi2: i am almost done the first section at this popint it would probably be faster for me to just hand input it [22:53] i need help badly, How do i fix error 13: permission denied [22:53] Snausages, the "dirty" way is to press CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE twice. [22:53] Snausages, this will kill your session, and bring you back to the login screen. [22:53] flan: no effect [22:54] Slart: Thanks, that's not at all where I expected to find it. [22:54] Yoshi1: do as you wish, all is possible, mount a usb stick as ssh from windows (putty), but typing a half .. you're fast anyway , heh [22:54] Snausages, you're holding down CTRL + ALT and then tapping BACKSPACE twice? [22:54] who here has Crunchbang Linux? [22:54] Hello I got a serious problem [22:54] crazyivan: error 13? you take off the lid, remove the red wires.. fill it with some new plutonium and you're good to go [22:54] thanks slart [22:54] i'll do that [22:54] I just upgraded my server to 9.10 and now it freezes shortly after boot [22:54] crazyivan: of course.. you might not be talking about the same thing that I am [22:54] DasEi2: what do you mean mount a usb stick as ssh? [22:54] flan_suse: yeah, just did it again [22:55] flan_suse: strange then, I have few installs , worked flawlessly [22:55] Snausages, what about CTRL + ALT + F1? [22:55] crazyivan: but until you tell us where you get this "error 13" we will never know [22:55] no seriously I am unable to do a number of things on my Linux OS because it keeps saying "permission denied" [22:55] flan_suse: ooh, that dumped me right out [22:55] DasEi2, yes, it works if I use the Alternate Install CD, but there is no such thing for Linux Mint. [22:55] sudo [22:55] crazyivan: is it ubuntu? [22:55] i get it from the terminal whenever i try to execute some kind of command [22:55] Slart: Well, at least I found the keybinding in CCSM > Accessability > Negative settings. [22:55] Yoshi1: no , I thought of copying the paste-file on usb and then acces it on trml/root [22:55] Snausages, no it didn't. It just took you to virtual terminal #1. [22:55] flan_suse: what's the right way to get back in? [22:55] I can't access it via ssh or anything and if I hook up a monitor, keyboard to the server I can't do anything cause it's forzen [22:55] yes a ubuntu distro [22:55] crazyivan: hmm.. no matter what? even if you just type nonsense? [22:56] flan_suse: oh ok I remember that about linux now [22:56] Snausages, login on this terminal (username then password.) [22:56] lol no if i type nonsense it says command not recognized or something [22:56] crazyivan: ok.. but anything that would normally run something [22:56] flan_suse: ok, what do I kill? [22:57] if i try to do something important, like check for system updates it wont let me [22:57] crazyivan: can you pastebin some example of this? [22:57] Snausages, type: ps -ef | grep Xorg [22:57] !pastebin | crazyivan [22:57] crazyivan: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [22:57] Im new to linux, how do I pastebin? [22:57] I need to help a friend with his windows computer, how can i connect to his computer via internet ? [22:57] how do i use convert and keep the names of the files? [22:57] This is why I always wait with updates, I thought it were safe by now but appearnetly not [22:58] the user is administrator [22:58] crazyivan: go to that webpage.. copy/paste the stuff you see in the terminal [22:58] Snausages, do you see a listing for tty7 and tty8? [22:58] ok give me a minute [22:58] crazyivan, like control-c and control-v? [22:58] DjAngo23: virtual desktop or vnc [22:58] flan_suse: that only found itself [22:59] crazyivan: when you're done just give us the url to the pastebin [22:59] Snausages, only one entry after typing that command? [22:59] Wow you gotta be kiddin me, it worked now [22:59] Snausages, nothing under tty7 or tty8? [22:59] I wonder what i was doing wrong earlier? [22:59] Snausages, then try this: sudo init 3 [22:59] crazyivan: normal support problem.. once someone is there to look at it everything behaves =) [23:00] flan_suse: nope. I did a who and I see myself on tty7 but nothing from tty7 on that grep [23:00] indeed [23:00] lol [23:00] Snausages, after it switches to runlevel 3 (takes only a few seconds), login again, then type: sudo init 5 [23:00] thx anyways Slart [23:00] crazyivan: you're welcome [23:00] DasEi2: yeah i never even considered that didnt think i could [23:00] !runlevels [23:00] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [23:00] Snausages, so basically "sudo init 3" then log back in again, and finally "sudo init 5" [23:00] DasEi2: done the edit now reboot? [23:01] Cyber_Akuma: And do you know where i can download that for ubuntu and for windows vista ? [23:01] DasEi2: man that was alot of tex but i have done more in my coding days [23:01] Slart, oh crap, my bad. [23:01] does anybody know if it would be possible to do this (and if so how to do it): I want to ssh into an ubuntu box, open firefox via the shell session, have it navigate to a specified video page (hulu or youtube) and have it play the video in full screen. [23:01] flan: after I did init 3, it just responded with a new command prompt instantly [23:01] no delay. Do I need to log myself out? [23:01] Snausages, you're on Karmic or Jaunty? [23:01] karmic netbook remix [23:02] Snausages, try again, but replace 3 with 1 for the first command. [23:02] hello. how do i keep the names of the files when using convert (ImageMagick)? [23:02] hey when i install a package , it says it depends on sun-java5-jre . but i've sun-java6-jre installed . wat can do about that [23:02] DasEi3: done the edit reboot now or ctrl-d and boot as normal? [23:03] Ddorda: you mean save the files with a new name once you've changed them? I think convert only changes the images.. it doesnt rename them [23:03] DasEi3: or something else/ [23:03] flan_suse: that got me to a recovery menu [23:03] Slart: when i change a whole directory it gives the files numbers [23:03] flan_suse: I tried to resume normal boot, it dropped me at a login prompt [23:03] Snausages, okay, and can you log in? [23:03] hi [23:03] Snausages, username/pass again. [23:04] anyone here heard of LUK? [23:04] Ddorda: hmm.. I think imagemagick has one command to just change the files "in place" and another command to change them and save them as a new file... or it might be a switch [23:04] hey all, I have a small problem with BZFlag (and some other 3d apps with -window option). My cursor get's locked to the window and I can't use Ctrl+Alt+Tab to access the desktop. Is there some way I can unfocuse the window without closing the application [23:04] ? [23:04] :) [23:04] flan_suse: yeah, I'm logged in on the console now [23:04] Snausages, try: sudo init 5 [23:05] flan_suse: does nothing, returns a prompt [23:05] Snausages, I only did this on openSUSE and Ubuntu Jaunty. Karmic might be different. [23:05] !init [23:05] 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 [23:05] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LUK [23:05] Ddorda: what command did you use for the conversion? [23:05] !runlevels [23:05] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [23:05] divider, I'm sorry, got dragged away ... I don't remember if I ever did run aticonfig, should I ? [23:05] !LUK [23:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about LUK [23:05] !runlevels > flan_suse [23:05] flan_suse, please see my private message [23:05] Ddorda: Imagemagick? convert what {-rotate,-sample,-flip,...}?

I'll have to check on my windows box some time. :) [23:13] Ddorda: ok, you're welcome [23:13] DasEi2: unable to find users then several falures then a max failuires reasched [23:13] Yoshi1: try : exit, then resume normal boot [23:13] DasEi2: last time i did that it said it couldnt find a display [23:13] Yoshi1: humm ? else reboot [23:13] Hmm... so anyone mind telling me how to unlock my cursor from a 3d window yet? Because whenever I open a 3d app I cannot access anything other than that window.

[23:19] Bigbucks: put that command on /etc/rc.local [23:19] joydev [23:19] DasEi: low graphics mode errors are "problem parsing the confige file" "error parsing the config file" [23:19] the command thats in run.sh [23:19] or the location [23:19] subby83: no, by ssh you log in remote-pc , x let's you start it's graphical app [23:20] lsusb [23:20] !vnc [23:20] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [23:20] DasEi: some of those lines of n the longer then a single line in the file [23:20] anybody has setup joypad in ubuntu? [23:20] Bigbucks: does it have a #! on it? [23:20] gamepad [23:20] no [23:21] its just java server [23:21] DasEi: I already tried it. When i do a: ssh -x pc.bla and i type in ryhtmbox, the program is run by the remote, but the windo is shown on my notebook and not on the remote [23:21] "java server" [23:21] Yoshi1: how do you connect to inet ? via router ? [23:21] DasEi: yes [23:21] I tried the remote desktop, the came with ubuntu, but it is very very slow and also very buggy, isn't it? [23:21] subby83: so vnc ist what you want, or remote desktop [23:21] DasEi: but i did set my comp as the demilitarized zone [23:22] hey is there any type of thing that autoblocks ips in ubuntu 8? i cant access my linux computer from certain ips :( [23:22] Bigbucks: then include it, after that it has to be executable (chmod a+x) and add "/home/serv/run.sh" on /etc/rc.local [23:22] DasEi: so you would recommend tightvnc? [23:22] What's the best way to set up vnc between my home and laptop? Will NoMachine do a better job than anything I can do with OSS? [23:22] Yoshi1:mind if I pm you ? [23:22] subby83: yes [23:22] DasEi: go ahead [23:22] ok, ill try that [23:22] mote desktop for macs?

(meaning connect to a os x machine) [23:23] Bigbucks: "#!/bin/bash" or something like that [23:23] so put [23:23] How do I disable the screensaver from the command line? I have a very weak integrated graphics card and every time the screensaver comes on or I try to change it, the computer freezes because the screen saver is too intense for the card [23:23] #!/home/serv/run.sh [23:23] B3ns4ws0m3: not by default [23:24] Bigbucks: inside your run.sh [23:24] biggerfisch: does your wlan card work now? [23:24] acicula i didnt think it was... must be my college then [23:24] thanks :) [23:24] * Gaming4JC yawn... still no one to unlock 3d windows. :s [23:24] subby83: no it doesnt [23:24] But, will that make it run when the server starts? === stephan__ is now known as hoppelhoppel [23:25] B3rz3rk3r: by default there is no firewall rule or running services nor autoblock or denys in tcp_wrappers [23:25] Bigbucks: I guess so , why don't you pastebin your run.sh? [23:25] I dont have to [23:25] its just [23:25] java server [23:25] !pastebin [23:25] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [23:25] acicula, umm.. what? [23:26] Bigbucks: post your run.sh using pastebin [23:26] I TOLD YOU [23:26] its just [23:26] biggerfisch: killall gnome-screensaver also maybe disable it from autostart [23:26] "java server" [23:26] Bigbucks: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:26] acicula, im guess that was meant for someone else huh? [23:27] Bigbucks: ok, then I can't help, good luck [23:27] B3rz3rk3r: yeah for B3ns4ws0m3 but he left i gues [23:27] trying to get my mic to work, used alsamixer and turned every option of mic that was available to the fullest and still i only hear the static... could someone give me a hint as to where to look and how to fix? [23:27] VCoolio: ok thanks. Will that also allow me to open the options for it and change to a less intense one? [23:27] All I am trying to do is make the file "run.sh" run when the server is booted [23:27] acicula, lol k. i was really confused for a sec ther :p [23:27] oh and i used the gnome recorder [23:27] so when I restart the server [23:28] I dont have to go into PuTTY [23:28] !enter | Bigbucks [23:28] Bigbucks: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:28] biggerfisch: I think there is a gconf-editor key to set your screensaver; let me check [23:28] hi, the sound is all messed up in games like openarena [23:28] biggerfisch: gnome-screensaver-preferences is where you set preferences [23:29] VCoolio: thanks [23:29] biggerfisch: also in gconf-editor apps > gnome-screensaver > theme [23:29] NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information. [23:29] Bigbucks: it used to be that you put your script in /etc/init.d and make run levels in /etc/rc?.d/ and what not, but it may have changed with upstart. If you just want to run that script and its not a start/stop script you can just call it from /etc/init.d/rc.local [23:29] ugh... [23:30] How do I call it there? [23:30] like you would from the console [23:30] subby83: the card is detected by lspci but the network connections cant use it. any ideas? [23:30] acicula: isn't it /etc/rc.local? [23:30] its a shell script, probably best to use the full path to the script [23:30] LjL: err, could be [23:30] how do i enable sd card reader in ubuntu [23:31] LjL: Bigbucks yeah its /etc/rc.local not /etc/init.d/local [23:31] i have a problem here - I'm new to linux (i'm using Ubuntu 9.04 now) and i have a problem with Blender. It's looking like that http://ultraxs.com/image-1101_4B0DBB61.jpg and its very slow.

Is there somebody who can help me ? [23:31] the latter is the start/stop script for whatever is in /etc/rc.local [23:31] how do i enable sd card reader in ubuntu [23:31] hi, the sound is all messed up in 3d games like openarena, is there any way to fix it besides uninstalling pulseaudio? === kb is now known as Guest72957 [23:32] biggerfisch: im not the expert at all, sorry, but for myself i first check lspci, so i threw that in ;) I just was curious if you could solve it :) [23:32] sumeetbali: have you inserted an sd card and its not being recognized or [23:33] biggerfisch: in ifconfig or iwconfig, there is also nothing? [23:33] acicula, correct [23:33] can sm1 help me ? [23:33] !ask | toman [23:33] toman: 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. :-) [23:33] sumeetbali: can you post the output from dmesg [23:33] epinky: they did ask =| [23:33] toman: the problem is that it renders slowly? [23:34] acicula, not sure what that means [23:34] LjL: oh, I'm really sorry toman, I did not see it [23:35] toman: Are you using proprietary drivers? (System>Administration>Hardware Drivers) Also you may want to try #blender [23:35] when I right click open with application, how does that files information get sent to the application? I'd like to write a program to change my wallpaper to am image with a right click feature [23:35] VCoolio: do you know a way to edit the screensaver from the command line with no gui? opening the preferences dialog freezes the computer because it cant show the mini preview of the current screensaver [23:36] I need help, I cant hear anything from flash videos especially when I'm trying to play youtube videos, but my audio player is fine [23:36] sumeetbali: you type dmesg in a console and copy paste the output to pastebin [23:36] VCoolio: trying to edit the saver just crashed it now [23:36] acicula, nope i just plugged it in and nothing happened [23:36] The_Journey: Are you using the official flash player or a 3rd party open source one like swfdec? [23:37] biggerfisch: you can use gconf-editor, that won't crash; you can also edit gconf keys with terminal using gconftool-2 or something; but you'll need to know the name of the theme you want to use [23:37] The_Journey: the one from media ubuntu works for me.

[23:38] toman: Cool, glad to have another Linux user. :) Sadly... I don't know whay your having that gfx bug. :s [23:38] biggerfisch: some themes to choose from are in /usr/share/xscreensaver/config it seems [23:38] acicula: How do I Include it into the file? [23:39] biggerfisch: or even better: gconftool-2 --set "/apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled" --type boolean false [23:39] plitter: Applications>>Sound and Video>> Sound Recorder. Then File>>Open Volume Control>>Input. If there's a Mic you can set it there and test it in the recorder. :) [23:40] subby83: great thanks [23:40] Bigbucks: you put the name and full path of the executable you want to run into that script [23:40] thats all? [23:40] how do i enable sd card reader in ubuntu [23:40] just [23:41] Gaming4JC: already been there and tried mic 1 and mic 2 and line in but just get a lot of static [23:41] running ati r530 chipset has anyone installed the ati fglrx driver I am using the xorg driver at present good 3d but was wondering [23:41] well you can do a little dance and incantation, but stuff in rc.local gets executed upon boot [23:41] hmm ...

[23:43] andre_pl: smartctl can readout drive data [23:43] how do I build the latest ubuntu kernel with some mods but keep the changes that I have all ready done (IE. vbox made changes to kernel) [23:43] vcoolio. I also see flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound........ Do u want em to install tha ttoo [23:44] Rods_Tiger: rails is a framework for ruby, not a program?

"ircp-tray" is a GUI applet that might or might not let you transfer files [23:53] ShapeShifter499: dunno you can mix and match using git, but patching your own kernels together is not really recommended and well beyond this channel [23:54] ShapeShifter499: you realize that when Ubuntu releases a new kernel you will go through all of this again?

[23:57] mneptok: I still have the safety of the older kernels that are installed on my system right? [23:57] trism - no, it doesn't exist [23:57] chemjeff: dear God, that's overly complex for Flash.

[23:58] Rods_Tiger: I would try removing all the gems, purging rubygems and installing rubygems manually...that is generally better anyway because sometimes rails upgrades require a new version of rubygems which is not necessarily in the repo [23:59] isn't that even more difficult than the situation currently is? I'm after a simple way, not a complicated way that probably won't work [23:59] kavurt: Do you have the apturl package installed? [23:59] hipitihop: nope.

In windows 7 the flash player never stops man this sucks cuz i love ubuntu compiz interface [23:59] Rods_Tiger: it does work, that is how I have it setup [23:59] mneptok: before I continue with my kernel build what about application changes that where done to the kernel?
